Two Days Later

Though the next few days after the Arena fight with Neji as well as Hiashi's death weren't as eventful, they were just as busy. This was due to multiple reasons, since Hiashi was a member of the Leaf Village as well as a member of one of the most prominent Clans within the village; Minato had to ensure that a funeral was held for him which brought most of the village to stand witness for. The other reason was, that Naruto had to prepare for a trip back to Krystal so he and Kamatari could inform Queen Umeka of her soon-to-be grandchild which would be in line for succession of the throne and though this trip would be used for this reason, Naruto also thought that it would be the perfect time for Morita to claim a Crystal as well as a Dragon of his own.

Unlike the last time that Naruto had delved through the portal that would allow him to enter the dimension that contained Krystal, he planned on sharing his travel plans with his family so they wouldn't worry for him like they did last time. This also gave Naruto an opportunity to share with them the knowledge that they too would be grandparents.

With this in his mind, Naruto followed by Kamatari made their way from their bedroom towards the area that they had last seen Naruto's family. Thankfully, when they arrived in the living area; Naruto was greeted by his entire family as well as Hinata, Setomi, and Morita who he had already informed of their impeding trip to Krystal since he assumed that they would be wanting to go with him.

"Good morning you two..." Kushina called out when Naruto and his beloved made their way inside of the living area though when she noticed that they had packed bags, her worry forced her to change the trajectory of the conversation. "...what's the purpose of the bags? Are you two going somewhere?" Kushina inquired as she jumped from her seat as if she was getting ready to bolt towards the door and stop them.

Upon seeing how his mother was acting, it took every ounce of Naruto's being not to burst out laughing though he was quite thankful to his willpower that he was able to contain himself. As his eyes glanced across the room, he could see that everyone else was having the same difficulty which told him that they found his mother's actions just as hilarious as he did.

Though Naruto could stay like this for the rest of his life since this is the most comfortable with his family that he has been since his return to the village, he wanted to be on his way so the news of his and Kamatari's child would be shared with all those that needed this information.

"Kamatari, Hinata, Setomi, Morita as well as myself will be returning to Kamatari's homeland for a short period of time. We have some news that needs to be shared with Kamatari's mother as well as get Morita here outfitted with a Crystal and a Dragon of his own..." Naruto explained as his eyes continued moving across the room to judge the expressions of his family members who at the mention of his leaving, got rid of their humorous expressions and changed them to a more serious one. Before anyone was able to ask him what this news was, Naruto began to speak once again. "...the news that Kamatari and I have is that we are having a child which will be making you grandparents." Naruto finished as he directly looked at his mother and father.

For a moment both his mother and father looked confused but since many things have transpired of late that were just as confusing, this confusion was quickly replaced by one of excitement and wonder. Within mere seconds, Naruto and Kamatari were surrounded by those that that were Naruto's most important people.

"Congratulations you two!" Tai called out as he and the rest of those that surrounded both Naruto and Kamatari each took turns giving them an embrace that would help enforce their emotions to the two males that would soon be welcoming a child into the world.

With each individual that touched him, Naruto was quick in his motions to return the embrace that he was given and once he had been through everyone that was present; it was time for his group to make their way to Krystal. Though before Naruto was able to separate himself from his family, his father began to speak. "I know that this is sudden, but I will be going with you too meet with Kamatari's mother. Since Kamatari is now a part of our family, I should meet the woman who gave birth to him as well as share my thanks to her for keeping you safe during those years that your soul was separated from your body." Minato explained mere seconds before he ran from the living area to go and pack himself a bag.

Since Naruto had no objections to this, he motioned for those who were going with him to Krystal to follow after him and within a very quick time frame; Naruto and his group were standing in front of the portal that would allow them to enter the domain of Queen Umeka.

Naruto, Kamatari as well as the others stood within the throne room of the village that Naruto had spent three years of his life and though he wished he could have spent more time exploring the village before meeting with the Queen; he knew that he would have plenty of time to do so after which only gave him more cause to meet with Queen first.

Since Naruto was wishing to give Kamatari and himself some time alone with Queen Umeka while giving her the news of her soon to be grandparent status, he thought that it would be best if he got through the reason that he had brought Morita along with them. "Queen Umeka, I have found another that I feel is worthy to gain one of the Crystals as well as one of the Dragons that mark us as what we are." Naruto called out as he gave the Queen a small bow.

As usual with the meetings between Naruto and the Queen, Queen Umeka returned the small bow with one of her own before responding to what the blond Sorcerer had said. "Very well Naruto. I will allow this young man to claim both a Crystal as well as one of the Dragons that roam my Clan's land." Queen Umeka called out which prompted Naruto as well as Morita to bow once more.

Now that Naruto had gotten approval for his Apprentice to claim both a Crystal as well as a Dragon, he thought that now would be the perfect time to get Queen Umeka away from the prying ears of those that worked within the palace. "Thank you Queen Umeka, though if you have time. Kamatari, my father as well as myself would like to speak to you in private since we have news that we would like for you too know." Naruto explained as he rose from his bow.

Though the Queen didn't respond in words, she did give Naruto a small nod before rising from her throne and making her way towards the hall that would lead her to her personal chambers. Not wanting to be left behind, Naruto was quick to follow her which also prompted Kamatari and Minato to do the same and since Naruto hadn't gave Hinata or Morita any orders that they he wished for them to complete; they waited within the throne room for the others to return.
