I do not own Naruto, this is a fanfiction only.

I looked at my squad and I knew I would see them again someday, but didn't help with this feeling I would miss them. "Yes, sir. I have one more suggestion if you don't mind, my friend Hiro Uzumaki is quite the seal arts maniac, he has enough training to become a master, but for some odd reason he spends all his time inventing new seals."

"Given the fact that we could end up facing the Jinchuriki of the One tail in this deployment, I feel that he would make a welcome addition to my squad. That way we can have Jiraiya deployed at a different location and will not hinder anyone." Hiruzen began to laugh and looked at me with a smile.

"Yes, I am aware of that person and in fact, I was planning to deploy him with your battalion if anything for seal support. You only suggested it because you want Jiraiya as far away from Tsunade as possible since he likes to peep at women."

I don't like anyone disrespecting Tsunade at all, but that is one way that really gets my blood boiling. "You should be happy our commander has volunteered to take command of your battalion Weasel, Lion apparently felt that if he was not there you would miss your ANBU brethren so much that you would cry."

Well with that comment it made me realize if I would not miss someone it had to be Snake, not a funny thing to say or nice. "Your battalion shall deploy for no less than seven months to the land of the sand seas. I expect to hear good things about you Weasel, and please be careful with Tsunade Senju, I can't give her maternity leave, so take precautions."

Great even the Hokage is making fun of me. "You shall leave tomorrow at dawn, be sure to stop by and tell your friend Hiro, he will have to tell the news to his wives after all." That is when they looked at me, Wolf and Bear were known bachelors in our division, but I guess I never introduced my friend to them.

"How many wives do this Hiro Uzumaki have?" The Hokage simply laughed and said as one of the few Uzumaki he was under the Clan Restoration Act, as such he told them Hiro Uzumaki has the minimum under the law, four wives. He even told him that he was a special sort of Uzumaki since apparently, he was the descendant of the Uchiha, Senju, Uzumaki, and Hyuuga.

Snake apparently didn't like the sound of his and he smiled, "Why are you so worried about him Wolf, Bear, a mutt is a mutt no matter what anyone calls him. Instead of focusing on the mutt why don't you think about our squad member. Be careful out there Weasel, I will drop a scroll of medicines I developed for you by the usual scroll deposit in the morning."

I finally was able to leave the tower and headed towards my friend's home. He chose to live near the merchant district I will never figure why? He might be an Uzumaki but I knew him from my previous life as a fellow Uchiha, I am sure our Clan leader would welcome him in the Uchiha District.

As I walked over to his place Nami was doing the laundry, Alvida was taking care of the garden, Robin was apparently reading something on a nearby bench, and Boa apparently was in a bad mood, I guess the news got here faster than I expected, blasted gossip mongers.

"So you finally decided to visit our home Kisaru, no wonder I could feel the killing intent coming from my wives, I guess you are here to tell me that we deploy tomorrow, news spread faster than I expected, and no I don't hold it against you, but my wives are a little angry about the mutt comment."

I looked at them and told them if they wanted anyone to be angry then they better look for a Snake masked ANBU since he was the one that made the comment in the first place. This made them all glare and each said that I didn't say anything against it. Four women my friend met in his travels to Uzugakure and the same that became his wives and joined the Uzumaki Clan by taking the clan name.

"Come right in Kisaru, you got to see the new seals I invented, I know you are going to be amazed at what I managed to recover from the ruins of Uzugakure, and the things I developed with that hidden knowledge on the Seal Arts. I am now one of the most knowledgeable people in the Seal Arts."

I swear he should keep those sort of comments when we are in private, that is not something you want others to gossip about. As I entered the lab I was barely walking, what the hell, I feel like my body gained a ton of weight, I can barely move. As he entered he touched a seal. "Gravity Seal increases the gravity in a given space. It will be wonderful to have for training."

He walked over to the door and he then activated the seal, as soon as he opened the door the view from the door that would lead outside looked like it leads to a large white area, with a small community in the middle. "As you can see this is the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and yes, I managed to make it so that people will not go insane staying here for too long."

"I told you how I was in one of my previous lives, and I told you about something I remember fondly, this place has a never-ending stock of food, water, and medicines, every in the world outside will give us an entire year to train, we can accelerate training and mastery of skills this way, while physically aging one hour."

"Don't worry I have a sealed entry door in one of my storage scrolls. It should be ready for use when we reach our forward camp, and no Boa you and the others can not come, I need you four to remain in case those sand idiots get the idea that they can sneak here and destroy our village."

This made all four of them glare at me, why the hell is this my fault? I didn't want to deal with another attempt at Alvida trying to beat my skull in with a frying pan. As soon as he was done packing I went home, for some odd reason I was dead tired after he put that seal on me, I am not even kidding, I went to bed with my clothes on and I went to sleep.

The next morning I was waking up by Hiro of all people shouting that I need to wake up, I heard wolves give a better wake up than him, he has a lot of nerve after using me to test that gravity seal. I had a light breakfast and went outside, "Hiro for the last time, don't shout, you are disturbing my neighbors, some of them work at night. A little consideration wouldn't kill you."

He looked around and saw that several Uchiha men were indeed glaring at him through their partially opened windows. I told him instead of going to apologize not to do that again and for us to go meet the others of the group we are going with.

Sure enough, Kakashi was really excited about where we were going, his father was making sure the kid didn't do anything crazy or got hurt from jumping around like he was, honestly I don't think he realizes the place we are going and what we will have to do there. "Morning, sir, where are Kushina and Minato?"

He looked at me and smiled, "They should be here apparently Kushina and Tsunade are still packing, apparently, they can't decide what clothes to pack." You have got to be kidding, we are not going on vacation here ladies, we are going to a war zone, the enemy doesn't care what you wear as long as you are dead.

"I am really starting to worry if that is their attitude, sir. I am really starting to worry quite a bit." He laughed and told me that we were going to leave early so there was no rush, it would be better for them not to be nervous that losing a few minutes.

An hour and a half later finally Kushina was walking right next to Minato hold his hand, and Tsunade looked at them like she wanted to do the same with someone, it took her a grand total of five seconds to see me, run up to me, hug me and kiss me in front of the entire group we were going to travel with.

To say that I was embarrassed would be like asking me if I think Orochimaru is gay, the way he argues with me, and how unfriendly he is with the women in our division I would say that is a very good possibility so the answer is yes, I do think he prefers men.

As we took off I look on the last look at the gates, and that is when I felt someone rubbing my back. "Don't worry buddy, after we use my seals and train up, these sand ninja won't know what hit them. I know you are worried about our village but think of it this way, the better work we do in the forward camp the fewer chances the enemy will attack our village."

Tsunade still holding my hand, he looked at me and smiled, "Don't you worry Kisaru, I know our village will be fine, so don't need to worry about Inari getting hurt, we just need to get back home, say Kisaru who is your friend?"

I looked at Kushina and then looked at my friend, "Well this is Hiro Uzumaki a seal arts expert." That is when Kushina let go of her hand and ran towards Hiro, I almost feel sorry for my friend. She kept asking him questions that range from how come he never introduces herself to a fellow Uzumaki to how come his folks didn't come with him.

I guess the notion that she was the last Uzumaki was actually wrong and she never realized that there was another Uzumaki in the village. The only thing I am glad she didn't ask if he was going out with anyone. I know it is the CRA, Clan Restoration Act, but I still can't help but feel sorry for Hiro when he told me he is married to four women.

As we walked down the dirt roads to where we were headed, I honestly never tire of looking at the beauty of nature, or the beauty that was walking near me. "So Kisaru how long have you know Hiro?" I tried my best to remember, in honest it was way back in my previous life when I had graduated from the Academy, back then he told me this nonsense that he got transported from another world, well the joke is on me since I pretty much know now how that feels.

I Couldn't very well tell them that, "I known my pal Hiro since my wandering days, during our days of being ninja without a home, he met one lady after another, and he eventually ended up married to all for of them, First was his wife Nami, then it was Alvida, after that he married Robin, and I actually attended his wedding to Boa, well that one was because I provided security for that one."

"So when Konoha accepted me, I, of course, told him that being an Uzumaki they might welcome him, but honestly he got a better welcome than I did, I still feel the bump Minato caused me that day. Honestly try to save someone and some guy wants to knock your head off."

Kushina began laughing and Minato's face was looking a bit red, "How many times do I have to say I am sorry for you to let it go, I honestly thought it was an excuse and you were with the people trying to kidnap Kushina. I know you are an Uchiha but I didn't think the old rumor that your clan holds grudges was true."

I looked at him and he became quiet, "Who doesn't hold grudges, at least we are honest about it. Now come on, do you have any more questions Kushina? More importantly, why are you asking me and not Hiro? He is a member of your clan." She flat out said because she knows what kind of person I am, but knows next to nothing about my friend.

As we came across a river I decided to tell her something to make her smile, "I wouldn't worry about Hiro, he is a good friend of mine, even though he is a pervert." That is when my friend standing near the stream glaring at me, "how dare you Kisaru, calling me a mere pervert, I am no mere pervert." He took the stand I have seen several times before standing proud in front of us, and when he pointed to us, "I am an Ultimate Super Perfect Pervert !" pointing to the sky like making a declaration. Kushina commented that it is just like Jiraiya and I heard her say to Hiro and Hiro said no I am better than Jiraiya because unlike Jiraiya I'm only a pervert for my wives, he even said he initially decided to do that to keep things interesting in the bedroom. Kushina blushed and looked at Minato who was just looking at Hiro with the look that he simply didn't believe what he just heard.

That is when I realized that my attempt to make Hiro more relatable to the others sort of backfired when Kushina asked that if I can teach Minato and her future son if she has one the ways of the ultimate super perfect pervert, I honestly wanted Kushina to realize that my friend Hiro was not scary or would hurt them at all, otherwise we will never get her and Kurama to patch things between them.

Well I guess I will cross that bridge when we get to it, we still have a long way to go, and nothing seems going to pose many problems. I honestly better focus on trying to enjoy nature instead of thinking how bored I am. Eight hours later and I am basically praying to the sage of the six paths for a bandit group.

We set up camp and we each took some time when we would do night watch, the meal was a stew that I made from animals I managed to hunt and a few fruits and vegetables I managed to make without them noticing.

"Kisaru is everything alright? You seem a bit nervous for some odd reason. All I know is that I feel safe having you near me." I put my hand on Tsunade's shoulder and smiled, "You know I would always do my best to keep you safe, but that doesn't mean I don't know how tough you are."

"You know something it just occurred to me that nobody has ever actually talked with the nine tails, that is not a situation I would wish on my worst enemy, being left alone with no one to talk to is bound to make the poor tail beast seemed unappreciated at best, and downright neglected at worst."

She smiled and she began to nod her head, "I actually talked to my grandfather about this, and he told me the reason the jinchuriki do not speak to their tailed beasts is because according to grandfather the beast will think he is just going to be tricked, and the jinchuriki doesn't trust him enough to lower his or her guard, they could be taken over by the tailed beast.

That is when Hiro and Kushina both came to see us, "What are you going talking about? Maybe about your wedding plans? Oh come on, don't be stingy and share the good news." Well since Kushina decided to ask, might as well take a risk and tell her. Honesty is the best policy.

"We are talking about you letting us enter your mind so we can talk with the nine tails. I want to see if we can improve the communication between you two, and thus establish some teamwork between you and the nine tails. In the coming battles, I think we would do well to do that, speaking of which, Hiro call Minato over and set up that door will you? We are going into the hyperbolic time seal."

Hiro told me that he had already it at the entrance to my tent, not the only thing they need is to get Minato to come on over and we could all enter the seal. Sure enough, the place had everything we need it even has a built-in gravity seal for us to activate in one of the rooms for training, the only thing I worry is that they will sleep better in here than in the tents at our camp.

"Now, people, this is the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, every minute out there becomes a year in here, meaning we could train for sixty years in here and one hour would have passed out there, and don't worry, time for you and everyone physically and mentally will be the same as out there, so no coming in here training for a few hours and come out like you aged till you are someone's grandparent in two hours."

"Now this place has everything, food, water, beds, and even bathrooms with working showers, the number of rooms is the same as the number of people that are in it, how long do you think we should train after we get the nine tails and Kushina here to patch things up?" I told him about three hours that should be more than enough.

Kushina was shy at first because she felt like we both pretty much asked her to strip, and I told her we just needed to see her seal because my friend Hiro was also going to improve it so that the nine tails has a reason why to cooperate and listen.

Hiro began working on the seal, it was fine except for the giggling and laughing Kushina was doing, apparently, she is ticklish. Me? I was too busy hitting the library with Tsunade, alright Tsunade was the one that dragged me into the library room I thought we would be kissing but no, she was going over every book she could find in the massive seal arts library.

Minato was on a particular section of it and just reading a book and nodding his head and saying I see once in a while. "So Tsunade what are we doing here?" She pointed at her own forehead and told me improving on an invention of hers and I was helping my girlfriend as a good boyfriend should.
