*Land of Fire - Land of Wind Border*
Naruto sits at a small drawing table as he designs his future right arm and some accessories for it, such a small chakra converter to create a minature flamethrower. A seal based kunai launcher and five special puppets that will be sealed in each finger. It has been just over a month since he left konoha with anko, melfina and franken. Speaking of anko a pair of breasts land on naruto's head from his special friend, "Nice looking arm" anko says. She is now wearing black bodystocking with a white tank top showing her midriff and gray sleeveless jacket that resembles welding cape sleeve, gray jean shorts with knee high boots having a small heel.
"Yeah.. My new leg will have a similar chakra converter" naruto says, continuing his drawing.
"Will the animals be similar to us" anko asks.
"They won't be able to talk but will have natural instincts" naruto says, holding up a drawing of a turtle.
"I may him use Katon and spews flames but also being able to fly by sucking in his legs" naruto says, putting the paper down. Anko looks through the draws to see a white tiger, two wolves with one being white and the other black with the last being a white three fox.
"Inspired by the Kyubi" anko says and naruto nods.
"Hmph.. Need more tails" kyubi comments. Naruto rubs his stump with a small snort and turns in his chair to get up with anko's help, "It's been a month.. How do you like your new body" he asks.
"It feels Great.. I'm so much stronger and my control is nearly perfect" anko says and leans near his ear, "I can even have Sex for hours" she coos, blowing his ear. Naruto blushes and attempts to limp faster, "Please stop" he says.
"Not happening.. So when are we having the Foursome with Melfina and Yui" anko adds and naruto nearly falls at that one, causing her to laugh. Naruto reaches his room and anko helps him on to his small bed, "Once I am fully mobile.. We'll head to see the Daimyo" he says.
"Do you think She'll do anything" anko asks, taking a seat next to him.
"I can only hope so or I'll need some serious money to keep Konoha off my back" naruto says. Natsu opens naruto's door with a small frown on his face, "We have several chakra signatures near the barrier" he says. Naruto sits up with a groan and clutches the sheets of his bed, "Could it be someone wandering" he says.
"No.. Their chakra levels are near Jonin and above" natsu says.
"I'll go check it out.. Have Yui on standby and you stay on overwatch" anko says and kisses naruto on the forehead.
"Be careful" naruto says and anko smiles, following natsu outside.
"How far away are they" anko asks, as they reach the surface.
"They haven't reached the barrier but close enough to be an issue" natsu says. Anko henges into her older self in case and passes through the barrier towards their guests general direction.
"Could Konoha have found us" anko thought, leaping from branch to branch but her new sense of sound catches the sound of shuriken as she dodges a hail of them. She lands on the road as a few Konoha Anbu appear her but she recognizes one, "Neko" anko says. The other Anbu reach for their tanto swords but neko raises her hand, "Where is Naruto Uzumaki" she says.
"Safe.. He's not going back" anko says, keeping her stance guarded and prepared.
"We did not come to fight.. Our orders are to know his whereabouts" neko says.
"Like I said.. He's safe and if the Hokage really wants to help him.. He'll tell the Daimyo what happened to him" anko says.
"She seems off.. Smells funny" pakkun says and neko glances his way.
"Anko.. I know Naruto is severely injured but taking him from village.. Once people learn what you did.. The reputation you built up will be gone" neko says but anko scoffs.
"So what.. I have friends that I can count on One hand.. People will always see me as Orochimaru's student and wonder if I am Traitor... Besides I am no longer a Ninja" anko says. Neko could tell that this would go nowhere and she glances to her team, "Okami.. Head back to Konoha and inform Hokage-sama that I will stay behind.. I will ascertain Naruto's status and return" she says.
"Captain.. Are you sure" Kame says and neko nods. The other Anbu were still weary but follow their captain's orders, before they vanish and pakkun dismisses himself.
"Why did you stay behind" anko says.
"Naruto is my former Sensei's son" neko says and removes her mask, revealing a beautiful face with warm brown eyes and a dark shade of lipstick.
"Alright but there are things you should know" anko says and drops her henge, shocking neko that anko looks noticably younger.
"W-what happened" neko says.
"Naruto can explains it Yugao.. Now follow me" anko says. The pair make way back towards the fort and pass through the barrier as yui stands with a long katana in her right hand.
"She's cool Yui" anko says.
"Who's she" yugao asks, following anko inside and underground.
"She's Naruto's protection" anko says. Yugao couldn't believe what she was seeing but more so anko, before long they reach naruto who is now in the main living area.
"Naruto.. This Yugao Uzuki but you may know her as Neko" anko says. Naruto rubs his stump as yugao looks him over, "I remember her.. She used to watch me when I was younger" he says.
"That's not all.. I knew your mother" yugao says and naruto's eyes widen slightly, "She trained me in Kenjutsu" she adds.
"Was she Kushina Uzumaki" naruto says and yugao slowly nods.
"How did you know" yugao asks. Naruto slowly shifts in his chair with a sigh, "Well I had no evidence but you confirmed it.. Kyubi told me I was like that Blasted Uzumaki.. I did some research and found out about Kushina Uzumaki" he explains.
"I see... Now what has happened to Anko.. Why is she younger than I am now" yugao says.
"Because technically she is.. Anko is no longer a normal human because I have become the Dollmaker's legacy" naruto says, as yugao's eyes widen and flicker.
"It's probably why the Hokage told you not to engage him" anko adds.
"I've heard stories about the Dollmaker but.. But how are you her legacy" yugao says.
"How about you take a seat and I'll explain" naruto says and yugao slowly does, while anko goes get melfina to make them some tea.
"It was around the time you were transferred away.. I was left in the Forest of Death by some Jonin.. I was lost but I fell into the secret workshop of the original Dollmaker and met the Kyubi" naruto starts. Melfina arrives with the tea and serves it to them as naruto clears his throat, "At first I saw this as a way to become Hokage and show the village but thanks to Melfina and Franken.. I realized it was a futile dream" he continues.
"Who is Franken" yugao asks.
"He's my older brother of sorts.. He's currently acquiring some chakra metal for Naruto-kun's new limbs" melfina replies.
"After learning some hard truths.. I poured of Dollmaker's work and started learning.. I tried making my Dolls with various successes and failures.. I slowly become desensitized to it all" naruto states, after drinking some tea and yugao sees the blank look in his eyes.
"I was his first success" anko says.
"You were not the first.. There were others but they didn't get to enjoy it but yes Anko is in a way my First successful Doll" naruto says and anko sticks her tongue out.
"W-wait.. Anko is a Doll and Others?!" yugao says.
"I used people who could afford to disappear or Bandits from outside the village.. As for Anko.. It was to save her from Orochimaru's Curse-mark.. Which was actually killing her" naruto explains.
"I asked Naruto to make me younger to.. Well to be closer to his age and pop his cherry.. Which I did" anko says and yugao nearly spit out her tea.
"Regardless.. I don't plan to go back to Konoha any time soon.. I plan to train and become something the Old Man can't ignore" naruto says. Yugao finishes her tea in thought and attempts to digest what she has heard, "Perhaps I can aid you.. I can teach you the same Kenjutsu styles Kushina-sensei taught me" she days.
"Don't you have you duties in Konoha" anko says.
"I can a liberal use of Kage Bunshin to shorten the time.. Plus I have a very good memory.. Even with my missing arm.. I can redo them from memory" naruto says and yugao nods.

Hiruzen stares at the report from okami concerning naruto and anko but also neko staying behind, "Perhaps she'll convince them to return" he thought. He then picks up a report of several people found beaten in similar fashion with one arm and leg broken, after checking them with inoichi. It is revealed all of them had a hand in naruto's accident, "Could he have used his Dolls as retribution" hiruzen thought.
"Even though all of them have been caught.. It won't make Naruto come home.. I'll need to contact Jiraiya.. Perhaps he can talk to Naruto and finally step up as his Godfather" hiruzen thought. A knock on the door catches hiruzen's attention as kurenai enters his office and he could see concern in her posture, "How can I help you Kurenai" he asks.
"Well Hokage-sama it concerns Hinata.. She's been in a slump since graduation and it concerns Naruto Uzumaki" kurenai says and this causes hiruzen to frown, before urging her to continue.
"Hinata has an infatuation with him and the rumors of his injuries and disappearance have affected her" kurenai continues. Hiruzen sighs in thought for a moment about the situation at hand, "Perhaps I can speak with her.. I can alleviate her concerns" he says.
"Perhaps that can work Hokage-sama.. Speaking of which.. How is he" kurenai asks.
"He was taken out of the village by Anko.. Considering what has happened as of late.. I felt it best to do so.. Though they are living in a set location" hiruzen replies.
"I see.. If you excuse me Hokage.. I will return with Hinata" kurenai says, bowing and excusing herself.
"I do not believe it will put her at ease but all I can do is tell her.. He is safe" hiruzen thought. About a half hour later kurenai returns with hinata and hiruzen could see naruto's disappearance has affected her, "Hinata.. Kurenai tells me you haven't been doing well" he says.
"Y-y-yes H-hokage-sama" hinata says, stuttering her words.
"And it concern Naruto" hiruzen says and hinata slowly nods, "Well I know you are concerned about him.. So I will alleviate your concerns... Yes Naruto was severely injured with the lost of two of his core limbs" he adds, pausing a bit. Hinata looks up with tears in lavender tinted eyes as hiruzen continues, "And because of this.. One of our Jonin took Naruto out of the village" he says.
"W-w-what about his a-apartment" hinata says and hiruzen frowns.
"That was an unfortunate accident" hiruzen says. Kurenai could tell the hokage was manipulating her student by using her crush on naruto to get her to better, "It is wrong but she needs to get stronger.. At this rate her will use the Cage-bird seal on her and name her younger sister as heiress" she thought. Hiruzen finishes his honeyed words to the hyuga heiress and dismisses the pair with a sigh, "This all I can do.. Hiashi is a cold man and if she falls further into her depression.. He'll simply get rid of her" he thought.

Azure-blue stares into doll like black as a silent stare-off happens between naruto and the nameless kunoichi from Ne. Each day since he brought her here the blond would speak to her and try to learn more about her but she is very emotionally deficient, having no real personality of her. She had only basics in her gear with a tip-less tanto, a sketch book and painting supplies.
"Why are you keeping me alive Dickless" the kunoichi says, a fake smile on her face. Naruto sighs as he closes a book on medical theory, "Perhaps it was a Whim but you have the same eyes as me" he says. The kunoichi tilts her head in confusion, "You are strange Dickless.. Our eyes are different colors" she says.
"What I meant is not in color but in emotion" naruto says.
"Emotions are useless.. I do not have that" the kunoichi says but naruto holds up the book that was in her possessions.
"Yet you had this with you.. Learning to connect with others" naruto says, tossing the book through the bars to her. She slowly picks up the book and looks back up to naruto, "Neko tells me that Ne or your leader Danzo forces one to erase all emotions from themselves to be cold and efficient.. However your eyes still hold them" he says.
"No I do not Dickless.. I am a Tool for Danzo-sama but now I am broken tool" the kunoichi says. Naruto slowly rises from his chair with the aid of his cane, "Tools are meant to be discarded.. Danzo must see Me in the same way.. However I am not a Tool but a Person" he says, moving closer to the bars.
"I know you have a seal on your tongue and a cyanide tooth.. The latter has been removed but I can remove the former.. If you wish to be free of Danzo" naruto says.
"You are nothing like your profile Dickless" the kunoichi says.
"Why do you call Naruto Dickless.. He is Certainly not.. I can attest to that" anko says.
"It is customary to give one a Nickname... Beautiful" the kunoichi says. Anko stares at the pale girl and laughs a bit, "Well if that is the case.. I'll call you Vampire... Come on Naruto.. Neko is about to leave" anko says and naruto slowly nods.
"Oh one last thing.. What is your name" naruto asks and the kunoichi stares at the pair.
"Sai" the kunoichi says.
"Well Sai.. As we continue to talk.. I will give you back your sketch book" naruto says, following out of sai's cell.
"So what are you going to do with her" anko asks, once they were far enough away.
"That will be up to her.. If Sai wishes to become free.. Then I will make sure she becomes free" naruto says and anko slowly nods. The pair soon reach the surface where neko is speaking to franken, "Master.. If possible I would like to face this woman in the future" he says.
"We'll see how things work out" naruto says.
"Naruto.. I do hope you revive Kushina-sensei's Kenjutsu" neko says.
"Once I am fully mobile I will... Please tell the Old Man to speak to the Daimyo and put in a good word with her for me... If he does it will the first step in possibly fixing things" naruto says.
"Also tell Kurenai I am ok.. She's probably worried.. Same with Hana and her mom" anko says and neko slowly nods.
"Take care of yourselves" neko says and follows franken out of the barrier.
"I wonder if she'll be able to get through to him" naruto says, taking in some fresh air.
"Hopefully she can Yugao is respected among her peers and the Hokage trusts her" anko says and grabs his hand, "Come on.. I'm going to teach how to properly perform Cunnilingus" she adds and naruto blushes, being dragged along. Time would tick by for naruto as he makes his way to regain his lost limbs but he didn't neglect his normal body. Anko would drill him daily with pushups, sit-ups, squats, pullups and other exercises to keep his body healthy. Naruto would decide that he would do his leg first, which would allow him to walk better and work on his cardio. Franken designed the leg to have a small chakra converter like his arm would, allowing the leg to convert chakra in similar flame thrower. Kyubi suggest creating a Taijutsu that would incorporate kicks, even coating the leg in flames for added firepower. The surgery was painful for the blond as he needed to be awake to make the nerves were connected to his new leg.

Sai looks up from her book to see naruto, "You are walking better Dickless" she says and naruto sighs. He slowly takes a sit and lifts his pants leg to show his new leg, which is a sleek silver with darker silver colors that look like muscles.
"Indeed I am and this new leg is for the reason for it" naruto says.
"So you have replaced your leg" sai asks and naruto nods, rubbing his thigh.
"Your leader Danzo probably knows that I found the Dollmaker's Legacy and that's why he sent you after me" naruto says.
"The Dollmaker.. The Infamous Puppeteer from the First Shinobi War" sai says.
"You are well versed.. She could create nearly human puppets.. She called them Dolls.. This is one of her Workshops as she called them" naruto explains.
"Then Danzo-sama will have this power you possess" sai says and naruto tilts his head with a sigh.
"No he won't.. I will kill Anyone who tries and I'll salt the earth in which they live" naruto says, a dark look in his eyes as the flick between red and blue. This shocks sai and she can feel the KI being subconsciously being released, "Is this the power of the Kyubi" she says.
"Perhaps... Sai I don't want to see you die.. You are like me and I would like save you" naruto says and sai furrows her brow.
"Why would save me.. We are enemies" sai says. Naruto rises to his feet and stretches a bit, "Because no saved me.. The Hokage may think he saved me but he didn't.. The same way you think Danzo saved you but didn't" he says, walking heading back to find anko and get some sparing in.
"Why don't you simply get rid the girl" kyubi says.
"Like I said.. I want to save someone" naruto thought.
"You saved that Anko girl.. Shouldn't that count" kyubi says.
"It does but I can see it in her eyes.. She wants someone to save her" naruto thought. Naruto reaches the surface and breathes in the fresh air with the sun shining down on him but could see some dark clouds in the sky.
"Ready for some sparring" anko says, leaping down the tower. Naruto rolls his shoulder with a nod and shifts into a guard stance with his left hand leading. Anko strolls forward with a sway of her body but she coiled and strikes a with a high kick, which naruto narrowly dodges and he counter with a three-piece jab. Anko parries each strike and counter with her own and naruto dodges but a few connect, staggering him back but the blond spins sending a heavy kick with his new leg. Anko sidesteps the kick and goes low to sweep out his leg, sending him crashing onto his back as she raises her leg to bring it down but naruto swaps with a rock as she crushes it
"Almost had you" anko says. Naruto softly smiles and starts to channel chakra into his new leg, which anko sees red veins starting to run down the leg. He shoots forward with a flurry of kicks as anko blocks every one of them but she sees flames starting wisp out the leg.
"Have you thought of a name for this" anko says, grabbing his leg and swinging him away. Naruto lands with a skid and sprints forward into a leaping dropkick, "Not yet but Kyubi said Diable Jambe" he says.
"That sounds cool" anko says, leaping back as naruto crashes down. Anko sends a flurry of strikes as naruto blocks and dodges, before swaying back and bringing his flaming leg up for a heavy kick, sending anko back with a skid but she rushes naruto and tackles him to the ground.
"Not bad" anko says, bracing on his chest but slowly leans down to kiss him. The pair slowly start to make out but a few drops of water hit them and both look up to see a small rain coming down.
"We should go inside" anko says and hops up, as naruto does the same with a kip up. The pair head inside the fort and make their way to the living area, "I'll need to get some flame retardant boots" naruto says.
"Shorts too" anko asks.
"Maybe but with some tights or bandages" naruto muses, putting his new leg up to check things over. One could see where his normal leg ends and his new legs begins, he could of covered it with skin but decided not to.
"Let the world see what Konoha's noble people have done to me" naruto thought. The blond's new arm would come next and like his leg, it is silver in color with grey knuckles and portions of the same color like muscles. Like his leg has a chakra convertor to create a flamethrower from the palm, by moving the fingers to open a vent in the palm. Franken also outfitted the arm with a retractable elbow blade, even trying to convince his master to blades in his knuckles but naruto declined. Once the blond was fully mobile did he start abusing his shadow clone jutsu, using a hundred clones a day for nearly three months on chakra control and learning the kenjutsu neko taught him. He would also start on his five animal dolls at the same time of two wolves, a large snake instead of a white tiger, a snapping turtle and a white three tail fox.
シーンブレイク
Naruto stands in front of his five animal dolls wearing black tights under a pair of cargo shorts but the left leg of the tights is cut to above the knee, a pair of work boots with numerous seal on them. A short sleeve mesh shirt with a black jacket having a sky blue interior and a beaked hood but also the right sleeve missing. A elbow length black glove on his right arm but also having no palm, a normal black glove on his left hand.
"So what can each do" anko asks, looking over the five animals.
"Taiyo and Tsuki work in combination.. Taiyo can breath fire and Tsuki breaths wind" naruto explains. Each wolf comes to naruto's waist and taiyo is white with red eyes with his claw made of steel, while tsuki is black with blue eyes and both having the uzumaki swirl on their foreheads.
"Mamba is made in honor of you.. His size is twenty feet with an expandable stomach and jaws allowing him to swallow someone whole.. His stomach has several seals that will release high grade acid to dissolve a body.. He can also spit up said body to shock his enemies" naruto explains and anko giggles, smirking. Mamba looks like a normal king cobra but twenty feet long with olive green skin having black and white bands on the trunk that converge to the head. He has large eyes with a golden irises and round pupils, his hood is oval shaped and covered with olive green smooth scales and two black spots between the two lowest scales.
"Once was a Man" mamba hisses.
"I thought you said they couldn't speak" anko says.
"It's a recording.. A seal on his head to confuse enemies.. Kaga is the only one who can speak" naruto says. The white fox with blue eyes and three tails stares at the pair, "I was created by a piece of the Kyubi.. Thus I cognizant" kaga says.
"Kaga is capable of shooting blue ice like flames and will-o-wisp like flames as well.. Last is Tetsudo" naruto says. Tetsudo has a rugged, muscular build with a ridged carapace made of iron, stretchable neck with sharp claws and is about eight feet long, weighing about a hundred pounds.
"Don't let his size fool you.. Tetsudo is fast and is capable of biting into steel" naruto says.
"This is nice and all.. So are we going to test them out" anko says. Naruto pulls on his left glove with a grin on his face, "Of course" he says and links his fingers together to reverse summon them to seals on his right fingers. Yui approaches with a katana having a white and black hilt with red string coming from it, it is in a black sheath with the uzumaki swirl imprinted down the length.
"Here you are Naruto" yui says. Naruto takes the sword with a slowly nod and slips it a small harness hanging from his pants, "Thank you Yui.. Anko and I should be back in a few days to a week" he says.
"Be careful" yui says and the pair head, before leaving the fort and taking off towards the tree.
"So how are we testing things" anko says.
"We'll find a Bandit Camp and go from there" naruto says and anko smirks, as the pair race through the forest.

Hiruzen sits at a large semi-circle table with the various clan heads, his advisors the elder council and members of the merchant's guild. It has been just over three months since naruto left the village and the rumors were swirling, many in the village were elated the blond was missing or had finally died. Hiruzen bangs his gavel and calls the meeting to order, "I've called this meeting to discuss the rumors surrounding Naruto Uzumaki" he starts and could see some looks. Tsume Inuzuka and Inoichi Yamanaka have looks of concern, Shibi Aburame, Shikaku Nara and Choza Akimichi were neutral, while Hiashi Hyuga, his advisors Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado have looks of blank disdain.
"The boy is Useless to us.. However he should be brought back and the Kyubi taken from to be placed in Proper vessel" danzo says.
"And Kill him!?" tsume shouts.
"I agree with Tsume.. Naruto is the Yondaime's Legacy and to cast him aside.. It is dishonoring his memory" shikaku says.
"He can't fight against out enemies" koharu says.
"We've never used the Kyubi's power.. Why should we start now" inoichi says. Hiruzen sighs with his eyes closed as the council slowly start to bicker with the civilians bringing up the injuries to several people.
"Their injuries may have been similar to Naruto's injuries but those same people have been revealed to be responsible for attacking Naruto" hiruzen says.
"Then who was responsible for injuring them.. Someone taking revenge for him" one of the merchant members named Shigure Tokimoto.
"Why don't we have Anbu bring him back to face these charges" homura says.
"What charges is that and what evidence do you have to prove Naruto is responsible" hiruzen says and homura had no evidence.
"Where is the boy" hiashi says, thinking how his daughter despite knowing naruto is somewhere hasn't lived up to his standards.
"In a safe location.. He has a caregiver and looking into replacing the limbs with a prothesis" hiruzen replies.
"Was he not posthumously passed.. Is it possible for him to become an active ninja despite his disability" choza says, thinking of the fact that he wanted the boy dead for his role in the theft of the sacred scroll.
"Yes Iruka Umino did pass Naruto but I rescinded it due to Naruto's injuries and by virtue of the rule set down by the Nidaime.. He is barred from becoming an Active Ninja" hiruzen explains, seeing some smug looks from the merchant guild.
"Given his status.. Is it wise to let him remain a civilian" inoichi says.
"He shouldn't be given special treatment.. The Hokage has rescinded his passing.. Thus he failed" shigure says, with his fellow merchants agreeing.
"Then what will be done with him.. He can't be a ninja and he is too skilled to be a simple civilian" shigure adds.
"That is something I will decide.. Now if there no more business to discuss about Naruto.. We will continue this council meeting" hiruzen says and no one has anything to say. The meeting would continue for another thirty minutes and hiruzen would listen to the merchant guild argue to turn naruto's apartment complex into something else, to the coming chunin exams taking place in suna. The aged hokage thought he would get to see the son of his successor perhaps competing in the exams but instead he sees the raged filled face of the blond boy.
"I HATE YOU!" naruto's voice echoes. Hiruzen enters his office after the council meeting to find his student Jiraiya standing in his office and not looking happy.
"What the Hell happened Sensei?!" jiraiya says. Hiruzen rubs his eyes and takes a seat at his desk, "I told you what has happened" he says.
"How can he be the Dollmaker's Legacy" jiraiya says.
"She must of had a place hidden in the village and Naruto stumbled upon it.. He managed to keep such a secret for some time and once the Incident happened.. He fled with Anko Mitarashi and two others.. Two others I believe to be Dolls" hiruzen explains.
"H-how could it get this bad" jiraiya says.
"Perhaps if you had been here.. Naruto would be in a better head space" hiruzen says but jiraiya scoffs.
"You wanted me out in the field.. Running diversions to keep Iwa or Kumo from coming after us after Minato died.. I couldn't take a baby with me.. Why didn't you have a clan help raise him" jiraiya says.
"And unbalance the Clans.. Any one of them would've molded him into their personal weapon... I denied Mikoto's request.. Kami rest her soul.. As well as Tsume Inuzuka.. No civilian family would've have taken him.. Given the backlash of his status" hiruzen says.
"Maybe you should've enforced Your law better" jiraiya says.
"Don't presume to Lecture me Jiraiya.. I couldn't Force the village to care about him and I couldn't do more than I did.. Unless I risk open revolt.. I had to give the Merchant Guild seats on the council to rebuild the village and now they have the backing of my Advisors" hiruzen says, reflecting on his mistake to take money from the greedy civilians.
"Why not go to the Daimyo" jiraiya asks.
"She was an unknown to me at the time and I was lucky she agreed to my reinstatement but now it too late... I am old man Jiraiya.. I've been Hokage too long and because it.. I have driven away my successor's son" hiruzen says.
"Where is he" jiraiya asks.
"I don't know the location but I sent a team lead by Neko.. She met with him and stayed for a little time.. However she hasn't revealed the exact location" hiruzen says, wanting to order neko to tell him but that would send naruto into further hiding.
"Why not order her to tell you" jiraiya says.
"And further damage his relationship with me.. He asked that I speak with the Daimyo but I do not believe it will help" hiruzen says.
"I'll have my spies keep an eye for out for him" jiraiya says, before leaving through the window. Hiruzen leans back in his chair with a sigh, "I need to bring home.. One way or another" he thought.

Naruto makes his way through a large camp of bandits with his sword dripping blood and kaga at his side. This is the fourth bandit camp the pair have hit and the formula for attacking was a simple one of letting them get fully liquored up and attack during the drunken haze. Those they saved saw them as avenging angels or some case demons with naruto giving them name of the Wanderer to give himself anonymity.
"Who the Hell are you people?!.. What are those things!?" one of the bandits shouts. He is ratty looking man with scruffy hair and lean build, wearing light clothes and carrying a sword.
"I am a simple Wanderer.. I help those who are damned find their proper place" naruto says, devoid of any care for the man's life. The bandit screams a war cry and charges naruto with his sword raised but the blond parries it with his sword to grab the man by the face.
"Moyasu" naruto utters, setting the man ablaze with his right arm. The man screams and falls back with heavy flaying as his face burns but slowly his movements stop as naruto continues on through the camp.
"They are not very skilled" kaga says, her white coat stained with blood. Naruto sweeps some blood off of his sword, "Compared to Ninja.. No they are not but to the every day person.. They are cancer but for now we are a small cure for towns nearby" he says.
"Naruto!" anko shouts, landing behind him
"Did you find their leader" naruto asks.
"I did but also someone Very interesting" anko says. She leads him through the camp and he sees his creations finishing off the remnants of the camp. The camp is moderate sized with about twenty tents with the largest being for the leader. There were wagons and some horses but the blond has scared them off with taiyo and tsuki.
"She's member of the Fuma clan" anko says.
"Fuma clan" naruto asks, hearing mamba's words on the wind and the screams of others.
"They have ties to Orochimaru but she was sold off by their leader" anko explains and naruto narrows his eyes. They soon went the leader's tent where tetsudo has the leader's legs in his jaws with a frail looking young woman on his back as well.
"Let me go you brat" the leader hisses. He is a fat man with a long beard and wearing no shirt with his pants unbuckled, denoting he was in the middle of sex but had to hastily put on clothes.
"Naruto meet Kotaro Fuma" anko says, ramming her boot into the leader's face. Kotaro has a frail figure but this seems to be due to starvation and beatings, her ruby her eyes are filled with a similar look to his own and her flame like hair chopped into a short pixie-esque style. Naruto pulls down his cloth mask to show his face to kotaro, "Kotaro thinks you are handsome.. Kotaro thanks you for saving her" she says.
"I didn't save you for free Kotaro.. Anko says you are from the Fuma clan and that clan has ties to Orochimaru" naruto says and a scowl forms on kotaro's face.
"Betrayers for that vile snake" kotaro hisses.
"Well I have a vendetta with Orochimaru.. Like Anko next to you" naruto says and extends his hand, "I won't waste time but I offer you power and the means to not only get revenge for being sold but the Fuma as well" he adds. Kotaro looks at the blond in his blue eyes and smiles, "Kotaro accepts" she says.
"What do we do with him" anko says, pointing to the boss.
"Why not let Kotaro decide" naruto says. Kotaro looks down at the man who has beaten her, starved, poisoned her, assaulted her and destroyed her body as a cruel smile forms on her face.
"Give Kotaro a kunai" kotaro says. Anko pulls one out of her pouch as tetsudo releases the leader, his legs completely mangled as he attempts to crawl away. Kotaro slides off of tetsudo and staggers towards the crawling man, "Kotaro will make you suffer and will enjoy this" she says, before proceeding to stab the man over fifty times.
"Will you turn her into a Doll" anko says, watching kotaro stab the man.
"She has a strong will and can be a powerful ally.. We'll need them to survive and to go after Orochimaru" naruto says.
"Once was a man.. Once was man" mamba hisses, slithering up followed by the wolf twins. Naruto groans as several of his clones dispel to show them killing bandits in various ways, "I need to add some Ninjutsu to my arsenal" he muses, sitting on tetsudo.
"I can teach you a few I know" anko says. Naruto creates a clone and it dispels to inform the other clones to search for anything of valuable and release those captured.
"That felt good.. Kotaro is content" kotaro says. Naruto look over the leader and he looks barely recognizable from the all the stab wounds but most were to his crotch.
"That's good.. Now we'll take you back to our base and discuss things going forward" naruto says, getting off tetsudo and dispelling his Fanged Five.
"What were those animals.. Summons" kotaro asks.
"In a way.. All will be explain once we return to base" naruto says and kotaro slowly nods, following the blond she would one day see as her lover.

AN-2: I'll end it here with a short chapter or would you prefer shorter chapters. In this chapter things are continuing along with hiruzen trying to deflect about naruto with the village. Naruto gaining his new limbs and creating several animal dolls known as the Fanged Five. They were inspired by Megumi Fushigoro's Cursed Technique from Jujutsu Kaisen. Mamba's repeated words Once was a man comes from Cobra Commander from the 1987 Gi Joe movie. Kaga comes from Azur Lane and Kyubi used a piece of his soul to create her. Kotaro Fuma comes from the Manga Tenkaichi: Nihon Saikyo Bugeisha Ketteisen.
Now I will probably move this story to the M rating due to the dark themes that will come once our group goes to Wave. Lastly there are two more Workshop hidden away, one in Uzushio and the other Wind or Snow. I haven't decided but I would like seem the readers choose the Doll hidden in these workshop. It will only be two per workshop to keep with the theme. I.E. Melfina and Franken in Konoha, Yui and Natsu in other. Oh and one more thing there will no Aliens, Reincarnation, Zetsu business or Madara. Thank you for your support and as always. Stay Frosty!.
