*Land of Fire - Land of Wind Border*
Kotaro stares at her soon to be new body and it was designed as she wished to appear, imposing and powerful with a to die for physique. Her new body is taller to about six foot and two inches with a well-defined musculature, a svelte visage, her red hair now long and voluminous. She also had naruto and franken add red tattoo-like markings underneath both eyes, round the tops of her ample bosom and lining each bicep.
"Kotaro will enjoy this new body" kotaro says, looking back to naruto. The blond is preparing for kotaro's surgery, "Another satisfied customer" naruto muses, as kotaro strips down to lay down. Anko and yui set up the anesthesia as naruto moves his surgical tools closer, "When you awaken.. You will be a whole new woman" he says.
"Count back from twenty" yui says. Kotaro slowly slips under as naruto picks up his scalpel and begins cutting kotaro open to make her doll. Anko watches in fascination as naruto works to turn kotaro into a doll as he and franken did to her, "So this is what is looks like from the outside in" she thought. The surgery takes about two hours and it is a success with kotaro now having a new body with her old one being incinerated.
"All that's left is to wait for her to wake up" naruto says.
"That is quite the process" anko says, as naruto strips off his scrubs.
"It is" naruto says, going to wash off a bit. He takes a soothing shower and finds anko waiting for him on his small bed, "So what do we do now.. We have a few avenues now.. The Daimyo.. The Fuma" she says.
"Before we confront the Fuma and by extension Orochimaru.. We need to get stronger.. The Daimyo is an avenue but I doubt the Old man will be helpful but we could head to the capital when Kotaro is up and able... However I do want to head to Uzushio" naruto says.
"Why Uzushio" anko asks and naruto holds two fingers.
"One to pay my respects to my ancestors and Two to find another Workshop" naruto says and anko arches an eyebrow. He take a picks up a small journal off his desk and hands it two her, "She had two more Workshop.. One in Uzushio and the other is unknown but the journal notes the location of it in Uzushio" naruto says.
"Do you think there could be other Dolls" anko says, thumbing through the journal.
"It is possible but we won't know until we head to Uzushio" naruto says and thought for a moment, "Perhaps we can do both.. Franken can head to the Capital and speak to the Daimyo in my stead.. While we head to Uzushio" he adds.
"We'll need a boat to reach the island" anko says and naruto falls back on his bed.
"I'll think of something" naruto says and anko lays on his stomach.
"So... Are you going to Fuck Kotaro" anko says and naruto sputters with a gasp, causing her to giggle. Kotaro would awaken about two hours later with naruto at her side, checking her body and making sure everything is on the up and up. The former fuma kunoichi is impressed by the blond's bedside manner and care, something that is making his stock rise in her book.
"Perhaps we can Eat" kotaro says, starting to get dressed.
"Sure.. Melfina can make some Ramen or Dango" naruto says, writing down something in his notebook. Anko looks to the blond with a small giggle, "No.. She wants Eat as in Eat me out" she says and naruto releases a sharp intake, looking to kotaro. She is now wearing a white haori over a form-fitting black crop top that exposes her under-boob, a red-and-white rope belt and form-fitting black leg garments with stylized wedges.
"Anko is right.. Kotaro is in the mood to Eat.. Then we can eat" kotaro says, smirking and the blond would be pounced upon by two voracious women.

Naruto makes his way to sai's cell with a sigh, "Now you have a kink for muscle bound women" kyubi remarks and naruto sighs. The blond reaches sai's cell but sees melfina speaking to sai and by the looks both were having a decent conversation, "I didn't know you were speaking" naruto says.
"Oh Naruto-kun... Yes because she seemed quite lonely and she is a very good artist" melfina says and naruto softly smiles.
"You do have a way with words" naruto says. Melfina rises from her chair and bows to sai as naruto takes her seat, "I'll fix her something to eat" she says, before excusing herself.
"She is a strange Doll" sai says.
"Melfina was the last created by the Dollmaker.. She was meant to represent the daughter she never had.. Though Melfina isn't human.. She's more human than most" naruto says and looks sai in her dark eyes, "If not for Melfina.. I would be Much darker.. She is in a way my conscience" he adds.
"Would becoming a Doll make one more human" sai says, working on her drawing of melfina.
"I can't answer that.. Anko and Kotaro became Dolls to free themselves of certain burdens.. For Anko it was to Finally be free of Orochimaru.. Kotaro chose to become a Doll to cast of the shackles of her past" naruto explains. Sai looks into naruto's azure-blue eyes but remains silent, "Anko told me she would rather live a Half-life as a Doll than a Cursed one.. That seal on your tongue is a Curse.. It keeps you in this bubble where you need a Book to express yourself" he says but sai remains silent.
"She had a brother named Shin" melfina says, approaching with a cup-ramen for naruto and a sandwich for sai.
"Danzo made them fight and she was forced to kill him" melfina explains. Naruto moves off the chair and lets melfina sit down, "Something to kill her emotion" he says and melfina nods.
"But I believe I am bringing out of her shell" melfina says.
"Then I will leave you to it" naruto says, with a small slurp of noodles as he heads back to find anko but finds her with kotaro. So the blond decides to head to the surface and soak in some night air, finding natsu in the watchtower.
"Anything of note" naruto asks.
"Everything is quiet" natsu says, looking out his eyes uncovered and glowing to see everything plain as day.
"His eyes are similar to the Hyuga's Byakugan.. Perhaps they were made based on them" naruto thought, slurping more noodles.
"I plan to find the other workshops" naruto says. Natsu glances his way with his glowing eyes unblinking, "Are you sure.. They won't be easy to find" natsu says. Naruto drinks the remains of his cup ramen and looks out over the darkness, "I know but I have taken up her mantle.. I should be the once to awaken her children" he says.
"I hope no one has find the other workshops.. If such skills fall into the hands of those with Evil intentions" natsu says.
"That's my second reason for finding them.. Her work shouldn't be used by those who seek conquest or other insane ideas" naruto muses and natsu slowly nods. Yui climbs into the watch tower with a thermos of cocoa, "I brought you something to drink" she says, her eyes a similar style to natsu.
"Her eyes are similar to Natsu but more focused to be in conjunction with her Kenjutsu" naruto thought.
"I was telling Natsu.. I will be searching out the other workshop" naruto says.
"It would be nice to see our remaining siblings" yui says and tilts her head, "Is something bothering you Master" she adds. Naruto sighs and runs his fingers through his blond hair, "I guess my childish thoughts are coming back... Before I found the workshop I wanted to be Hokage" he says.
"Isn't the Hokage the leader of your village" yui says and naruto nods.
"I believed if I became Hokage.. People would acknowledge me and they wouldn't treat me like some cursed disease" naruto says and clenches his new fist, "However I now know that it was just a childish dream.. The people of Konoha.. Save a small few will Only see me as the Kyubi.. If I managed to somehow become Hokage.. It would be open revolt" he adds.
"Is that why you wish to meet with the Daimyo" natsu asks.
"Partially.. Since the old man failed me.. I can't become a Shinobi in Konoha but perhaps if I appeal to the Daimyo.. I can be a Ronin Shinobi.. Independent of Konoha but working for her" naruto replies.
"And if she declines this" yui asks.
"Then I may appeal to another nation.. The power of the Kyubi is quite the bargaining chip" naruto says.
"I am not chip to be played" kyubi says.
"I know but the Idea of you.. Will be enough" naruto thought and looks to the pair, "I will also need one of you to search for Tsunade Senju" he says.
"Tsunade Senju is one of the Legendary Sannin and is said to be the Queen of Elixirs but is one of the best medical minds around.. I would like to perhaps sway her to my side and learn her knowledge to better help me" naruto adds.
"I can search for her.. She would be inclined to perhaps speak to a fellow woman" yui suggests and naruto slowly nods, getting to his feet with a pop of his joints.
"That's fine.. She seems to be a gambler if the rumors are true.. So check Tanzaku Quarter or any of the other Gambling town" naruto says yui nods. The blond bids the pair goodnight and retires for the night, highly aware of the noises coming from anko's room.

Danzo stares at the young man opposite him, "Has Orochimaru found Uzumaki.. Kabuto" danzo says. Kabuto Yakushi adjusts his wide lens glasses with a smile on his face, "Naruto-kun must know how to hide.. The location you told us about yielded no leads" he says.
"The boy possesses the power of the Dollmaker.. Something Orochimaru would be interested in.. Given his quest to be immortality" danzo says.
"Perhaps but it seems You are more interested.. Giving yourself a younger body would yield you the Hokage seat but who would side with an abomination" kabuto says, before having a tanto at his neck from Fuu Yamanaka.
"Watch your tone with me Kabuto.. Becoming Hokage would be what's best for the village but I am not arrogant enough to believe if wouldn't bring the Daimyo down on me or a Civil War would happen like in Kiri" danzo says and picks up his tea cup, to take a few sips and fuu removes his tanto from kabuto's throat.
"However the power of the Dollmaker should be used for Konoha.. Not be used against it" danzo adds.
"Do you believe Naruto-kun would attempt to destroy Konoha" kabuto says, thinking of having naruto join their side instead.
"The boy has been treated horribly.. Numerous attempts on his life.. Overcharging of basic necessities and sabotage at the academy.. A dumb weapon is also a useless weapon.. Now more so with his injuries but he will rectify that with the power of the Dollmaker" danzo says.
"Then why did you have Shigure Tokimoto hire those Shinobi to injure Naruto-kun in such a manner" kabuto says and danzo narrows his eye.
"He was to be injured but not to Such a manner.. Those foolish doctors took advantage of the situation presented to them" danzo says. Kabuto rises from his seated position with an adjust of his glasses, "I will inform Orochimaru-sama and we'll keep our eyes out for Naruto-kun" he says, turning on his heels. Danzo remains silent as a distortion in the form a swirl starts to form in front of danzo but to his right. A man slowly starts to appear with his face hidden by an orange spiral mask with one eye hole, showing a Sharingan eye. He wears a black hakama with black boots, a purple kimono top with mesh undershirt and his right hand bandaged.
"Have you found Naruto Uzumaki" the man asks.
"No I have not.. Have you Tobi" danzo says and tobi narrows his eye.
"I don't have the elaborate Spy network you have" tobi says, a bit of bite to his tone.
"He has hidden himself well.. There must be another place the Dollmaker hid themselves" danzo says.
"More than likely" tobi says. Danzo stares at his begrudging ally and is debating taking his Sharingan eye like he did with Shisui, "Have you gotten to Itachi" he says.
"No.. He's under the protection of the Akatsuki" tobi says.
"Pinning the Uchiha massacre on him was not the best idea.. If he has joined such a organization" danzo says and tobi scoffs.
"You wanted the Uchiha exterminated yet you work with me and have profited from their deaths" tobi says but danzo remains silent, as tobi vanishes with the same distortion.
"Soon Tobi.. Your Sharingan will be mine as well" danzo thought.

"Ok let's find out what your Chakra Affinities are" anko says.
"Kotaro will teach you Fuma Ninjutsu" kotaro says. The three were inside the fort as naruto has a thousand clone outside, working on various thing but he glances to melfina and by her insistence sai watching from the main area.
"So how do I figure it out" naruto says and anko hands him a slip of paper.
"It's Chakra paper.. Just channel your chakra into it" anko says, with no further explanation. Naruto sighs and channels his chakra into the paper and it splits in half with one side crumbling into ashes and the other crinkling.
"Wow.. Three Affinities.. Futon.. Katon and Raiton" anko says, shocking on her face.
"Kotaro has chosen a fine lover" kotaro says, smirking. Naruto thinks about the prospect of having three affinities and this causes him to laugh, something anko immediately picks up on but kotaro is slightly confused.
"If the Hokage would've taught him properly.. They would have a shinobi to rival his father" anko says.
"Father" kotaro asks. Naruto wipes a tear from his left eye, "My father is the infamous Kiiroi Senko and Yondaime Hokage" he says and kotaro's ruby eyes widen.
"Yet he was treated someone with an infectious disease and treated him like shit because he is a Jinchuriki" anko says.
"You have lived a hard life" kotaro says.
"And it has forged me into a stronger person... Now what is the Fuma Ninjutsu" naruto says.
"The Fuma specialize in ranged combat but Kotaro is quite skilled up close" kotaro explains, holding up her prized possession. It is a noticeably large uniquely-shaped shuriken attached to a long kusari-fundo, "This is Kotaro's favorite weapon" kotaro says.
"It doesn't look like a normal Fuma-shuriken" anko says.
"I agree.. Mizuki used a pair of large ones but not shaped like that" naruto says.
"Then Kotaro will show you why mine is special" kotaro says and naruto raises his hand.
"Before we do that.. How do I work on my affinities" naruto says.
"The simple answer is that for your Futon.. Think of it like opposite forces grinding against each other.. Then use it to cut a left or rock in half.. Raiton you have to convert you chakra into electricity and don't use your right arm.. Katon is like Raiton as you convert chakra into fire" anko explains and smirks as naruto puffs his cheeks about his arm. Naruto creates a clone and it prompt dispels to inform the other clones about the change to their training, "Let's go see Kotaro's Fuma Ninjutsu in action" he says.
"We'll be right back Melfina" naruto shouts and melfina waves, also getting to sai to the same. The three make their way out of the fort and the barrier into a denser part of the forest, "First.. Kotaro will show you the Taka no Tama" she says. Anko and naruto watch as kotaro shifts into a very exaggerated pitching stance, before tossing the shuriken forward but both their eyes widen as it gouges out a section of a tree.
"You could kill a person in one blow that that" anko says.
"And coupled with her now enhanced strength.. She can be a terror" naruto says.
"Now the Tora no Toma" kotaro says, before coiling and twisting as she spins the shuriken as she throws it again. Instead of gouging out a portion of tree, several trees were snapped in half by the force of her shuriken.
"I take it back.. Kotaro can be a force of nature" naruto says.
"It seems I have missed Quite the show" franken says, landing behind his master.
"Franken I would like you meet Kotaro Fuma.. She will be aiding in my endeavors" naruto says. Franken looks over the muscular woman and bows with his right hand on his heart, "I am Franken.. I serve Naruto Uzumaki" he says.
"Kotaro's is Naruto's lover" kotaro says and anko snorts, as the brazenness of kotaro.
"I see.. Mistress Anko has competition" franken says and naruto rubs his eyes with a sigh.
"Let's head back" naruto says, as the four return to the safety of the fort.
"What do you have for me Franken" naruto says, once they were sitting in the living area inside the fort.
"My clones have taught the ones responsible for your attack a Very serious lesson.. Each of the have one of their arms and leg damaged to point of being permanently crippled" franken starts and anko smirks.
"So do we know who ordered them or was it just random to teach the demon a lesson" naruto says.
"A civilian named Shigure Tokimoto.. He's the head of the Merchant Guild and apart of Konoha's council" franken says and naruto's eyes narrow in anger.
"That's interesting.. Stores owned by him usually charge me double or triple in prices" naruto says, rubbing his new arm.
"He's pretty untouchable on the council.. Unless you presented evidence that he ordered it" anko says.
"Plus the old man may placate because he's on the council... However if we beat him at his own game with money" naruto says.
"You know how to get rich quickly" kotaro says but naruto shakes his head with a sigh.
"We'll deal with him later.. Next topic Franken" naruto says.
"I found someone who could potentially be an ally for you.. She has an Interesting Kekkei Genkai" franken says and naruto arches an eyebrow, "Her name is Yakumo Kurama.. She has fragile body but a powerful control over Genjutsu" franken adds.
"I've heard that name.. Kurenai had a student by that name but dropped her" anko says.
"Why drop her" naruto asks.
"Her frail body.. Yakumo could create powerful Genjutsu by using paintings.. Yakumo wanted to become a ninja like some kid named Rock Lee.. Who can't use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu and wanted to be a shinobi with just Taijutsu.. She wanted to be a kunoichi with just Genjutsu" anko starts and frowns, "Kurenai didn't believe she could teacher her to that level.. So she petitioned the Hokage to seal Yakumo's powers once he learned the Extent of them and that she had a separate personality known as Ido" she adds.
"So the Old man fails again" naruto says, shaking his head and looking to franken.
"Would you be able to extract her.. Perhaps convince her to join our merry band of misfits" naruto says.
"It is possible Master.. I will look into it" franken says.
"Good.. I also have another mission for you... I want you to head to the capital and see if you can get an audience with the Daimyo.. Tell her you are my guardian and wish to speak about my treatment in Konoha or Lack there off" naruto says and franken nods. Over the next two months naruto focuses on his elemental manipulation and learn a few jutsu for each affinity, also learning some of kotaro's fuma ninjutsu. He continued hitting bandit camps with anko and kotaro, spreading his name as the wanderer and gaining experience against some low-level missing-nin and collecting their bounties. Yui and franken would send clones to keep them appraised of their missions as yui has yet to find tsunade but was on her trail. Franken has yet to meet with the daimyo but has built a rapport with yakumo through his clone.
The girl is horribly lonely and yearns to free of the shackles of the village but holds this notion that the hokage will aid her. Speaking of yearning for freedom sai would confide in melfina that she wishes to be free, to live a life not bound by danzo's logic. Naruto would grant sai's request of freedom by turning her into a doll similar to melfina but also placing a seal on her to keep her from running back danzo. Now that she was free sai revealed many of danzo secrets. How he orchestrated the uchiha massacre with unknown man named tobi, blaming itachi uchiha for it and fostering sasuke's hatred for him. How he's working with orochimaru and plotting to take the hokage seat for himself by having the others elders and merchant guild on his side. Naruto knew danzo was serious threat to his existence and knew he needed to go uzushio but also find the other workshop.
シーンブレイク
A man with grey hair and a large beard runs for his life as several bandits were giving chase after him but he trips, falling on his stomach and knocking off his glasses as the men slow their pursuit with laughs escaping their lips.
"Am I going to get killed before I reach Konoha" the man called Tazuna thought. One of the bandits raises his sword but suddenly his head vanishes, before he staggers and collapses. Tazuna look arounds franticly as two wolves attack the bandits, "It's a miracle" he thought.
"Once was a man" tazuna hears and his eyes widen as large cobra swallows a man whole.
"Looks like you owe us your life.. Old man" a voice says and tazuna looks back to see a young man with a mask on his face but also two women, once muscular and other with violet hair.
"W-who are you" tazuna says.
"Just call me a Wanderer" naruto says, pulling down his hood.
"Kotaro is Kotaro" kotaro says.
"Call me Beautiful" anko says, smirking. Naruto extends his hand and helps tazuna to his feet, "So who are you old man" naruto says.
"T-tazuna" tazuna says, seeing the carnage and the strange animals.
"So Tazuna where are you heading" naruto says, creating some clones to deal with the bodies. Tazuna looks over the three and was weary they were hired by gato to kill him, "I heading to Konoha to hire a team to escort me back home to Wave Country" tazuna says.
"That's interesting.. We're heading to Wave too" naruto says and tazuna's breath hitches.
"If you need a team.. How about you hire us" anko says.
"I-I would rather hire a team from Konoha" tazuna says, grabbing his things off the ground.
"Well.. How about this.. We'll wait at the coast for about two days.. If you don't show.. We'll continue to Wave" naruto says.
"T-that's fine" tazuna says, before heading on his way.
"Kotaro finds that man suspicious" kotaro says and anko nods.
"I agree.. He was nervous as hell" anko adds. Naruto dispels the twins and mamba by linking his thumb, index and pointer fingers together.
"I would have to agree.. Regardless of it we head to the coast and acquire a boat to head to Wave.. From there we head to Uzushio" naruto says and the pair nod. The clones dispel after disposing of the bandits' bodies but only find very little money. The trio reach the coast in few hours after sunset and set up camp to await tazuna but also finding a boat for a decent price. Two days later taiyo picks up the scent of tazuna and alerts the trio of his presence. However naruto is lucky he is wearing a mask and already dyed his hair black as he sees sasuke uchiha, sakura haruno and ami approaching with a man having silver hair.
"Well Tazuna.. It seems luck is your side and you hired your team" naruto says.
"Who are you?!" sakura nearly shouts.
"Wouldn't it be customary to give one's name before demanding another" naruto says, causing a little stand-off.
"Maa-maa.. Calm down Sakura.. Well stranger I am Kakashi Hatake and this is my team of Sasuke.. Sakura and Ami" the man says.
"My name is Menma.. They are Kotaro and Ume" naruto says, pointing to anko and kotaro but thinks kakashi might recognize anko.
"Now that we know each other.. Why are you waiting for Tazuna" kakashi says.
"We happen to save him from some bandits.. Menma decided to wait for him" anko says. Kakashi appraises the three and could tell both anko and kotaro were dangerous but something about naruto's eyes were familiar, "It seems you have a boat.. So how about we work together and you can ferry us to Wave" kakashi says.
"That's fine.. We were heading to there anyway" naruto says, his eyes turning into a smile.
"Kakashi-sensei.. Should we tell them about Gato" ami says and naruto's eyes narrow.
"Who's Gato" naruto says. Tazuna reluctantly tells his story about gato, a rich shipping magnate who has taken over his country and brought it the brink of collapse. How gato killed his son-in-law kaiza and how he trying to build bridge to the main land to break gato's hold.
"If this Gato is rich.. It would solve your money issues" kyubi says and naruto mentally nods.
"Kotaro is interested in a Jonin opponent" kotaro says.
"Kakashi.. I wonder.. How strong is your team" naruto says, glancing to sakura and ami. Kakashi narrows his visible eye but sakura beats him to the punch, "We're strong.. Sasuke-kun was the Rookie of the Year" sakura says.
"Oh.. I see.. Well I hope to see the Rookie of the Year in action" naruto says, as sasuke narrows his eyes but remains silent.
"Alright.. All aboard and we'll head to Wave" naruto adds, preparing their boat. Team-7, tazuna, anko and kotaro climb aboard as naruto cast off with a little burst of wind. The boat is silent as team-7 stare at naruto and his companions with tazuna in the middle, "What's wrong with your leg.. Why does it look like that" ami says, breeching the silence. Naruto looks down at his left leg and slowly pulls off his glove to show his right arm, "They're prosthetics.. I was involved in serious accident with a cart and lost these two limbs.. Thank Kami someone saved me and gave me back my lost limbs" he says.
"So you're some cripple" sasuke says and naruto chuckles.
"Yes.. Without these limbs.. I would be a cripple" naruto muses, slipping his glove back on. Kakashi stares at naruto in thought but glances to anko, "She resembles Anko but younger.. But that's not possible.. None of them are wearing Henges either.. However Menma's injuries are eerily similar to Naruto's injuries" kakashi thought. The journey to wave takes a few hours but tazuna asks they turn off the motor, so they won't be caught by gato's patrols.
"Is that the bridge" sakura says, seeing the nearly completed bridge coming into the view.
"Yes it is and I pray I can finish it" tazuna says. Naruto brings the boat as close to shore as he can but tazuna guides him to a dock and everyone disembarks, "How far to your home Tazuna" naruto asks.
"Not far" tazuna says. Team-7 take the point with tazuna behind as a heavy mist rolls in due to the ocean nearby but sasuke suddenly sends a kunai into the bushes, before white rabbit scampers out.
"Sasuke-kun.. It was just a bunny" sakura whines. Kakashi sees the coat of the bunny and notes it isn't a proper coat for the season but his ears, "Get Down" he shouts, tackling tazuna to the ground and his team do the same. However naruto raises his left boot and stops a massive blade with two sections cut out in the shape circle and semi-circle. Kotaro grabs the hilt and tosses the sword with ease into a tree as man lands on the long hilt.
"Seems I've encountered some interesting prey to block my Kubikiribocho" the man says, the lower half of his face hidden by bandages and a slashed hitai-ate on his head but turned to the left.
"Zabuza Momochi... Team Manji Formation" kakashi says, now on his feet. Team-7 surround tazuna as naruto's group stands to the side and zabuza chuckles, "The Famed Copy-ninja Kakashi Hatake" zabuza says but his shifts his gaze to naruto and his group.
"Those three are unknown factors.. Especially the big woman" zabuza thought and shifts his gaze back to kakashi, "Hand over the old man" zabuza says. The tension slowly starts rising as kakashi slowly reaches for his hitai-ate, "Menma.. I ask you to protect my team and Tazuna" kakashi says, raising the head band to reveal his Sharingan eye.
"How does he have a Sharingan eye?!" sasuke thought.
"The Famed Sharingan eye.. Perhaps when I go after Danzo.. I should acquire one or two.. A Doll with those eyes would be dangerous" naruto thought. Zabuza chuckles in this throat at the sight before him, "I didn't think I would see the Sharingan so soon.. I am Honored" he says. Anko mouths several words to naruto and he looks to kakashi, "One Thousand Jutsu.. That's interesting.. I wonder if he's willing to sell some to me.. I need to grow my arsenal of Ninjutsu" he thought. Zabuza kicks the tree and pulls his sword out of it to quickly land on a small lake near them, raising his left arm up with two fingers skyward. He also holds a half-ram sign as the water ripples out under him, "How is on the water" sakura says.
"Ninpō: Kirigakure no Jutsu" zabuza says and the mist becomes even thicker, as he vanishes.
"He vanished?!" ami says. Kakashi moves forward with his eyes trained, "He'll probably go for me first" he says.
"Who is he Sensei" sakura asks.
"Zabuza Momochi.. A member of Kirigakure's Anbu Black Ops and known for the Silent Killing Technique" kakashi starts.
"S-silent" ami says and kakashi nods.
"As the name implies.. Zabuza can kill someone without making a sound... So do Not drop you guard" kakashi finishes. The mist continues to grow thicker as kakashi but also naruto's group vanishes from team-7's sight and suddenly an ominous chuckling echoes around them, "Eight Points" zabuza starts, shocking sakura.
"The Larynx.. Spine.. Lungs.. Liver.. Jugular.. Subclavian Veins.. Kidneys.. Heart... So many choices on where I can strike" zabuza echoes around them but also starts releasing his KI. The tension ratches up to ten as all three genin were frightened to their core with sasuke prepared to stab his throat with his kunai to end this tension. Kakashi sends a burst of chakra to lighten the mist but counter zabuza's KI, "Don't worry.. I won't let any of you die" kakashi says.
"I wonder about that" zabuza says, appearing behind tazuna with his sword raised. Time slows as tazuna turns but a loud clang erupts as naruto blocks with his arm, acting quickly kakashi turns on his heel and closes the gap to stab zabuza in the stomach. The force of the strike pushes them away from his team but instead of blood coming from zabuza's wound, it is water slowly trickling out of the wound. The real zabuza is behind kakashi, "Sensei.. Behind" ami shouts, as the wounded zabuza melts into water.
"Too Late" zabuza says, swinging his kubikiribocho and bisecting kakashi at the waist to his team's horror but kakashi melts into water like zabuza.
"He managed to create a Mizu Bunshin?!" zabuza thought.
"So that is the power of the Sharingan.. He managed to copy Zabuza with just one look.. Yeah I need to acquire one of my own" naruto thought but hears kyubi growling.
"Don't worry.. I do get my hands on one.. I won't use it on you" naruto thought but kyubi only growls. Kakashi attacks zabuza from behind with a kunai but this turned into a trap as it was another mizu bunshin.
"Another fake?!" ami shouts. Zabuza swings his sword but kakashi ducks under the swing as it crashes to the ground but the demon of mist uses it as a springboard to launch kakashi with a heavy kick.
"Now" zabuza thought, pulling his sword and rushing towards the lake as kakashi crashes into the water but he has to leap over several caltrops. Team-7 were looking in shock as their sensei was easily kicked, "His Taijutsu is extremely good" sasuke says.
"Or your Sensei is lazy" naruto comments and sakura whips around to him.
"What do you know" sakura screeches but naruto remains silent, pointing. Kakashi slowly surfaces on the lake but the water feels heavy to him as zabuza appears behind, weaving signs to ox and holding his hands out.
"Suiton: Suirō no Jutsu" zabuza says, as the water forms a prison around kakashi.
"Damn it.. I was careless" kakashi thought, as zabuza uses one hand to hold the prison.
"I'll finish you after I kill those Brats" zabuza says, noticing naruto's group have yet to step in.
"Perhaps they won't get involved.. If the other two haven't acted yet" zabuza thought, raising a half ram and creating four mizu bunshin. Team-7's eyes widen in shock as the four clones stare them down, "You kids are playing Ninja with those Hitai-ate.. However Real ninja hover between life and death.. What that means.. Only those who have their names in the Bingo Book are Real ninjas" the clones say in tandem.
"So am I playing Ninja" naruto says, walking forward.
"You're not wearing a Hitai-ate.. So you are even less" the clones sneer but they freeze, as naruto vanishes to wrap his right hand around one of them.
"He's fast" team-7 thought. Naruto incinerates one clone and switches his elbow blade to cut off the head of another, while the two remaining clones swing their swords but naruto leaps as flames lick at his left leg.
"Flame Burst" naruto shouts, connecting with a spinning wheel kick to the third clone. The fourth clone leaps but right into a spinning roundhouse from anko. Zabuza stares in shock as his clones were made short work of, even kakashi was shocked at this turn of events but he sees kotaro with her right left leg raised and vertical with her body.
"Taka no Tama" kotaro shouts, sending her fuma-shuriken forward. Zabuza jerks as the shuriken streaks towards him and this forces him to let of the water prison to dodge kotaro's attack, "Who the Hell are these Three" zabuza thought. Team-7 and tazuna were thinking the same thing as kotaro pulls her fuma-shuriken back. Zabuza now finds himself outnumbered as kakashi is behind him and naruto is in front of him.
"It seems I will have concede our battle Kakashi.. Another time Copy-ninja" zabuza says, before vanishing with a swirl of water. Kakashi slowly pulls down his hitai-ate with a heavy sigh as his gaze is on naruto and anko, "Who are these people" kakashi thought.
"You helped us out.. It seems we owe you one" kakashi says, staggering a little. Naruto raises his arms with a small shrug, "Think nothing of it.. I was curious about the strength of the Demon of the Mist" he says. Kakashi reaches dry land and staggers forward into kotaro, "S-seems.. I have chakra exhaustion" he says.
"Kotaro will carry you" kotaro says, lifting kakashi.
"Tazuna.. How far to your house" naruto says.
"Not far" tazuna says and leads, as team-7's gazes were naruto's group but none more so than sasuke.

Naruto sits across team-7 with their eyes judging him and appraising him on his fight with zabuza, "Who trained you" sasuke says, breeching the staring contest. Naruto rubs his left in thought, "I'm self-taught" he says.
"Then how did you create that Katon Jutsu" ami says.
"Call it Kekkei Genkai of sorts.. Do you ask Sasuke about his Sharingan" naruto says. Anko approaches and plops down next to him with a cross of her legs, remembering both girls and knowing both were rabid fangirls.
"Kotaro thinks.. You little girls are weak" kotaro says, taking a seat on naruto's right.
"What did you say Bitch?!" sakura says but kotaro glares at her, causing the pinkette to look away with fear.
"Um.. Your Sensei is awake" tazuna's daughter Tsunami says. Team-7 quickly follow her upstairs to check on him, "It was Chakra Exhaustion.. He's gotten Lazy" anko says.
"I think I remember him" naruto says and rises to feet, "I'll be back.. Going to send the Twins to find Zabuza" he adds and the pair nod. The blond makes his way out of tazuna's home, before making his way back to where they did battle with zabuza. Naruto links his thumb and index fingers together to summons taiyo and tsuki, "Find Zabuza" he says. The wolf twins sniff the area and bark as they rush off to find zabuza's hideout as the blond summons mamba to hide and guard the property.
"What will you do with Zabuza" kyubi says.
"I could learn a Good deal from him.. Perhaps I can get him to switch sides" naruto thought.
"How does it feel seeing them again" kyubi asks. Naruto halts in his tracks and looks up at the sky, "To honest I feel nothing.. Sasuke and I never interacted unless it was during spars.. Sakura and Ami follow him around like abused puppies.. Which is weird because Ami was one of Sakura's bullies when we were younger" he thought, before continuing on. Naruto reaches tazuna's home and enters to find tsunami about to head out, "Oh Menma-san.. Sorry I was about to head to the store" she says.
"How about I accompany you" naruto says.
"That's fine" tsunami says and the pair set off into town, "How did you meet father" she asks.
"My group and I happen to save him on his way to Konoha" naruto replies and tsunami gasps, "We agreed to ferry him and his hired team across because we would happen to be pass through this neck of woods" he adds.
"Where you heading.. If you don't mind me asking" tsunami says. The pair soon reach town and naruto could tell the country is on the brink, people were on the sides of the roads or in alleys as roving bands of children beg for food.
"We're heading to the Land of Water" naruto says, as a kid bumps into him but the thief would find nothing on the hidden blond. Tsunami would go to several stores who barely had anything but what they did was double or tripled charged.
"Reminds me of Konoha" naruto thought.
"Sorry you have to see such things Menma-san.. Gato has destroyed our country" tsunami says and naruto remains silent. The make their way back to her home in silence as naruto is devising a way to make gato suffer for maximum effect. The remains of the day were met with some what normalcy except for tsunami's son Inari loudly declaring that they would die at the hands of gato. Kotaro and anko wanted to kill the small child but naruto pacified them with himself. Nightfall would come and naruto would meet the twins near the clearing, where they would lead a clone to zabuza's hideout but also find gato's residence. He would also send clones to check gato's hired strength numbers, something he needed to be careful of as kakashi was a factor.

Naruto sits on the pier with a small notebook, "So he has about forty men in his employ.. All are pretty much civilians with Zabuza and his companion as the only ninja" he thought. The wooden planks creak and naruto glances back to see kotaro approaching, "Where's Anko" he asks.
"Watching those Genin.. Their sensei is teaching them Tree-walking" kotaro says and naruto's eyes widen slightly.
"Seriously" naruto says and kotaro nods.
"Kotaro believes he's not a good Sensei" kotaro says and sees the small map written in naruto's notebook, "Do you have a plan" she adds.
"I do and it's two prong.. One we help this country but two we get our hands on Gato's riches" naruto says.
"Why not simply kill him and take his company" kotaro says.
"That would be too simple and Gato may have others controlling his money" naruto says and writes several things on a page, "I need you to head back to the main land and get these items.. If Gato's men get in your way on the water.. Kill them" he adds.
"Kotaro won't fail" kotaro says, kissing his cheek and taking the piece of paper.
"So what will those items do" kyubi asks.
"I'm going to turn Gato into a walking plague.. How I will remains a secret for now" naruto says, rising to his feet and going to find anko. He finds her watching team-7 performing the tree-walking exercise and to no one's shock the two fangirls got the exercise quickly. Kakashi is watching with a pair of crutches as sasuke struggles and fails, something that is making the fangirls upset as they got something their idol hasn't.
"Sasuke hasn't got it has he" naruto says and anko looks back.
"Of course not.. The two wastes of space have small chakra pools... Where's Kotaro" anko says. Naruto wraps his arms around her waist, "I sent her to get some supplies to deal with the Gato problem" he says but low enough, so kakashi couldn't hear.
"What sort of supplies" anko whispers but naruto makes a quiet shush as kakashi approaches.
"Menma.. I wonder will you continue on or will aid Tazuna" kakashi says. Naruto pulls from anko and cups his chin in thought, "Well we have no set time-table before heading to the Land of Water.. So I believe we can help but I am curious about something.. How long have they been Genin" he says. Kakashi looks back to his team with a small sigh, "About five months" he says.
"And you just Now teaching them this" anko says and kakashi does have the decency to look ashamed.
"We've been working on team-building and such" kakashi says.
"Have they've been bloodied" naruto asks and kakashi shakes his head, "Wow.. You took three Green Genin on such a mission but I guess not knowing Tazuna lied does change things.. Even why didn't you request back up or decline the mission" naruto adds.
"I bet it was to maintain their Image" anko says and kakashi narrows his eye, "I've heard the stories of the Noble Konohagakure and their welcoming atmosphere.. Well to those that toe the line" she adds.
"What do you know about that" kakashi says. Naruto raises his hand with an eye-smile, "We meant no disrespect.. You hear things on the road" he says.
"Why don't we leave your team to their training" anko says, pulling naruto along back to tazuna's home.
"I wonder if he recognizes you" naruto says.
"He might but what about you.. Once you take your mask off.. He'll see your whiskers" anko says.
"I have a plan for that" naruto says.
"So what do you have planned for Gato and how do we get his company.. If we don't kill him" anko asks.
"I'm going to make a Doll of Gato.. One that can understand basic commands and repeat basic words... I used a similar one at the academy.. No one could tell the difference" naruto says and pulls down his mask to scratch his cheek.
"As for Gato himself.. Well I have something quite diabolical for him" naruto adds, pulling up his mask. Dinner would soon arrive and the two groups minus sasuke kotaro would sit down with tazuna's family. The atmosphere is quite jovial as kakashi attempted to keep things upbeat but this was angering the youngest member at the table, more so when sasuke arrived and showing the signs of his hard work.
"Why are you try so hard?!" inari shouts, slamming his fork down.
"We're trying to help your grandpa" ami says.
"It's a waste of time.. Gato will Kill all of you.. He's too strong.. The Strong always win and the Weak always lose" inari shouts and naruto covers anko's mouth, before she could say something.
"You don't know Anything about our pain.. So why don't go back to where ever you came from" inari says. Naruto shifts in his chair to look at inari, "Tell me something.. Does it look like I don't know what Pain is" he starts, pointing to his arm and leg.
"You still have your limbs.. I lost two of mine.. If I lived like you say.. I would be laying in some hospital or I would've killed myself" naruto says but his eyes shift to a harsher edge, scaring the boy.
"You may have given up but I won't.. Is your grandfather a fool for trying to complete his bridge.. By your logic is doesn't matter what he does as he will lose.. Yet he's trying... People like you Disgust me" naruto adds, causing the boy to run off in tears.
"He's just a kid.. You shouldn't say stuff like that" sakura says.
"Then what should he have said.. Some cheerful.. Inspiring words" anko says.
"Ume is right.. The world outside your haven is much more cruel" naruto says.
"Haven?!" ami says.
"Yes.. Haven.. Konoha from what I have heard has powerful people to protect in times of crisis and their inspiring Will of Fire I've heard about that amps their abilities" naruto says, rising to his feet and excusing himself with anko in tow.
"I don't trust them Sensei" sakura says and ami reluctantly nods with her rival.
"I agree with Forehead" ami says.
"I know it can seem that way but we should be better than them" kakashi says. It would three later when kotaro returned with naruto's supplies and team-7 but also inari avoided the three, which was good enough for the three and it allowed them to properly prepare to deal with gato.

Gato the tyrant of wave clutches his now broken right arm in a cast with rage in eyes hidden by sunglasses, "Curse that Zabuza and his disgusting Apprentice" he hisses. The diminutive tyrant is flanked by his bodyguards Waraji and Zori with both having swords on their hips.
"Once Zabuza and those ninja exhaust themselves.. Then we'll kill them all" gato says. The three enter gato's office to find naruto and anko inside with gas masks on their faces.
"Who the Hell are you?!" gato shouts, as waraji and zori draw their swords. Naruto simply holds up two gas balls and tosses them at the ground as the door shuts, "The new owner of your company" he says, as a yellowish gas fills the room. Gato coughs as the room starts to spin as he and his bodyguards collapse.
"What to do about his bodyguards" anko asks, walking over and kicking waraji.
"Kill them.. We only need Gato" naruto says. Anko smirks and rests her boot on waraji's head to crush it like a watermelon, before doing the same to zori with a smirk on her face.
"So are you finally going to tell us what you are going to do to Gato" anko says, cleaning her boot on the carpet.
"I'm going to turn Gato is a Sex Doll and let him get a taste of the misery he's inflicted on others.. However that's not all.. His sweat glands with be filled with poison.. The more he sweats.. The more poison is released" naruto explains and anko whistles.
"But how are you going to get him fucked" anko asks.
"Gato's men are living in one place and Kotaro is knocking them out like we just did.. She'll also be filling the room with a highly addictive aphrodisiac laced with a hallucinogenic" naruto replies and smirks, "They'll see Gato as succulent steak for a wolf.. They will all be sealed up and Fuck themselves to death" he adds.
"You can be downright demented" anko says. Naruto unfurls small scroll and channels some chakra as two large scrolls appear with a puff of smoke, "We'll use the Gato Doll to get his company.. Plus we'll show Zabuza what happened to Gato" he says and anko giggles. Naruto sets to work with gato's sex change, his new body having large K-cup breasts, wide hips and thick legs that will be down right irresistible to his men. A few hours later gato would awake with a start tied to a bed, "W-what" gato says but doesn't recognize his voice. Gato tries to move his head but looks down to see large breasts but also the room filled with a light pink.
"Who's there" gato shouts, struggling but his or her limbs are useless. Grunting catches gato's ears and she sees several of her hired thugs feverishly jerking off or some looking around in fright.
"S-she's awake" gato hears and the bed she is on creaks as a man appears with drooling coming from his mouth.
"Free Pussy" he says, before roughly inserting himself inside gato. The tyrant of wave screams as the insertion is quite forceful and painful, "What the Fuck are you doing" gato roars but it falls on deaf ears. Others soon find out gato is awake and start to attempt to get their turn with gato, causing her to sweat and sealing their fate. Outside the building naruto stands having the gas mask in his hand with kotaro and anko at his side.
"How long do you think it will take" anko asks.
"Kotaro thinks a few hours" kotaro says.
"A fair assessment.. Whether its the Hallucinogenic or the Poison their fates are sealed" naruto says and sighs, "We'll give it a day.. For now we'll check Gato's place for anything of value" he adds and the pair nod. They would spend the next few hours combing through gato's office and the mansion to find anything on his company or anything on the town. Anko would find a large yacht in a hidden laguna, which will come in handy for their trip to uzushio as it was large enough to fit several comfortably. Naruto would find a ledger that shows gato has several accounts in Frost Country but also he had no partners as well. Kotaro would rip a safe out of the wall to find several deeds for businesses in town, which naruto would carefully redistribute after they dealt with zabuza. The three would leave gato's place and return to tazuna's place to keep up appearances but were planning to give a fake story about them leaving.

"When will you go after the Bridge builder" zabuza's tool Haku Yuki says. Zabuza looks at the effeminate young man with a serious look, "Soon but I am more concerned with the others that were with Kakashi and his brats" he says.
"I would agree.. They gave off a dangerous aura" haku says, slipping a black choker around his neck to match the black obi with his pink kimono.
"I will go gather some herbs" haku says and zabuza nods. Footsteps echo and both look to see gato but he was alone, "What do you want" zabuza says.
"I am in no mood for your threats.. Follow me" gato says and zabuza narrows his eyes, noticing gato is not his usual arrogant self.
"Fine.. Haku come along" zabuza says, grabbing his sword. The demon of mist and his tool follow gato to his office but both freeze as naruto is sitting at gato's desk with his feet up.
"What are you doing here?!" zabuza says, reaching for his sword but kotaro and anko are standing behind him. Naruto snaps his fingers and gato collapses like a puppet devoid of strings, "Easy now.. I didn't bring you here to fight.. I wanted to properly introduce myself" the blond starts, pulling down his mask and revealing his whiskers.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki and behind you are Anko Mitarashi and Kotaro Fuma" naruto says.
"Uzumaki" zabuza says and naruto slowly nods, smiling.
"Yes and tell me.. Are you up on History" naruto says and zabuza narrows his eyes.
"And why would I need to up on history.. I already know the Uzumaki were wiped years ago" zabuza says. Naruto rises from the desk and approaches zabuza but rest his boot on gato's head, "True but I am curious if you have heard of the Dollmaker" naruto says.
"Somewhat.. User of the Kugutsu no Jutsu and said to have surpassed Monzaemon Chikamatsu of Suna" zabuza says and naruto smiles.
"Well I am the Dollmaker's Legacy.. The Gato under my boot is a puppet I created to take over his company" naruto says.
"Then where is the Real Gato" zabuza says. Naruto takes his boot off his gato doll, "Well since you work for me now.. I can show you what happened to Gato" naruto says, taking a gas mask from anko.
"Follow me and you'll need this" naruto says, as kotaro hands zabuza a gas mask.
"She can stay behind with Kotaro and Anko" naruto says, beckoning for zabuza to follow him.
"I'm a boy" haku says and naruto halts in his tracks, looking back but starts laughing.
"You could surely pass for a lady" naruto says, continuing on.
"What did you do to the little troll" zabuza asks.
"Something befitting the little troll" naruto replies. He leads zabuza to one of the large buildings on gato's compound, "You'll need your mask to go in" naruto says, slipping on his gas mask. Zabuza arches an eyebrow but slips on the gas mask as naruto places his hand on the door, before a sealing array shatters and he opens the door. The first thing zabuza sees is several corpses with the throats clawed out by their own hands as he sees blood caked on their fingers.
"What the Hell happened in here?!" zabuza says, following naruto.
"Poison" naruto says, simply as he sees a few bodies that didn't claw their throats out but simply died of heart attacks.
"Poison?!" zabuza says. Naruto points to the several pots around the room, "The poison has several parts.. Those pots contained an aphrodisiac and a hallucinogenic but the component to tie together is there" he say, pointing to a bed. Zabuza sees a woman with a very scandalous body and chopped white hair but she has this thousand yard stare, multiple bruises but covered in jizz.
"Zabuza.. Meet the new Gato" naruto says and zabuza's eyes widen.
"That's Gato?!" zabuza says. Naruto moves to look gato in her eyes and she is mentally gone, "Yes.. I turned Gato into a Doll and injected her sweat glands with a powerful poison.. The more she sweats the more poison is released.. The poison will make you believe worms are under your skin and you'll claw at your body" he explains.
"Is he or she still alive" zabuza asks.
"Pretty much but she's unable to move.. I cut the tendons in her arms and legs to make sure she couldn't fight back" naruto says but reaches in his pouch to slap several explosive notes to her body.
"But she won't be for much longer" naruto says. Zabuza follow naruto back to the exit in thought, "This kid is fucked in the head" zabuza thought.
"So why did you show me that" zabuza asks. Naruto pulls off the gloves and tosses them on the floor and slip on another pair, "To show I am a much better boss than Gato.. He planned to kill you after you dealt with Kakashi and his team.. Also to show I could the same to you" he says, as they step outside.
"You think you can take me Kid" zabuza says, going for his sword but mamba wraps around his body. Naruto slowly turns to face zabuza, "Perhaps not but Kotaro and Anko can.. Plus I can have Mamba swallow you whole" naruto says.
"So what do you want" zabuza says but groans as mamba tightens a little.
"Like I said.. I now own Gato.. Which means you work for me.. I can even help you elude Hunter-nin after you... Plus I wouldn't mind learning from one of the Seven Swords of Mist" naruto says. Zabuza weighed his options only for a few moments but nods and mamba releases him, "You said you were an Uzumaki.. Any relations to Kushina Uzumaki" he says.
"She was my mother and I am also the Jinchuriki of the Kyubi on Yoko" naruto says and zabuza's eyes widen to his non-existent eyebrows.
"It seems I made the right choice" zabuza says and naruto give him an eye-smile. The pair make their way back to gato's office to find haku sitting away from kotaro and anko.
"What about Kakashi and his Brats" zabuza says.
"We'll leave them alone.. Once I blow that building.. They'll be more concerned with that.. They make think you and Gato had a falling out as the days progress" naruto says.
"Kakashi will believe we're heading to the Land of Water and he suspects who I am really.. He'll be chasing a false lead" anko says and zabuza furrows his brow.
"We're originally from Konoha" naruto says.
"I suspected as much.. So why did you leave" zabuza says. Naruto holds up his right arm and points to his left leg, "A few months ago.. I graduated Konoha's Ninja academy.. However a civilian paid some ninja to attack me" he starts.
"They took sledgehammers to limbs to point where they were amputated" anko continues.
"The Hokage in a bout of foolishness rescinded my passing and relegated me to a civilian.. However do to this.. I could no longer become a ninja due to this... So I decided to abandon the village as a civilian" naruto says.
"I resigned as a ninja and took Naruto out of the village with two others help.. A pair of Dolls created by the Dollmaker" anko says.
"So does Kakashi recognize you" zabuza says.
"He might but I kept my face hidden and dyed my hair" naruto says.
"I became a Doll and look a few years younger but he might recognize me" anko says and haku's eyes widen.
"You're a Doll" haku asks and anko nods.
"Yep.. Same with Kotaro" anko says.
"They found Kotaro in a bandit camp and they saved my life by turning Kotaro into a doll too" kotaro says.
"You're going to have to explain that more at length" zabuza says and naruto slowly nods.
"Of course.. I'll explain it along the way to Uzushio" naruto says and zabuza's breath hitches slightly.

Kakashi stares at remains of a building on gato's compound, "What on earth could of happened" he thought. Several people had come to tazuna's home about a large fire at gato's compound, something that was a shock to the bridge-builder. Kakashi and tazuna immediately went to the compound to find the remains of a large building but the fire had burned out, leaving nothing but ashes. The copy-ninja would check gato's home but found nothing but checks his office, to find a safe ripped from the wall with a stacks of papers.
"These are deeds from businesses Gato stole" tazuna says.
"I wonder what happened" kakashi says.
"Maybe that ninja he hired did something or Menma's group" tazuna says. Kakashi thought for a moment and summons pakkun, "There were three unknowns who came with us from the mainland.. See if the scent matches Naruto Uzumaki" he says.
"Sure Kakashi" pakkun says.
"Who's Naruto Uzumaki" tazuna says, finding something to put the deed together.
"He's someone who left Konoha some months.. His injuries matched Menma's" kakashi says.
"Why would he leave" tazuna asks and kakashi frowns.
"Kakashi.. It's him alright and Mitarashi.. Also the third member smells like Mitarashi too" pakkun says and kakashi cups his chin in thought.
"So this Kotaro is a Doll as well" kakashi thought, as he dismisses pakkun.
"So what will do" tazuna says, as they leave gato's compound.
"I'll inform the Hokage but our mission remains the same" kakashi says. News would spread through wave that gato is perhaps dead and tazuna would return the deeds to the rightfully owners. Kakashi would keep a secret from his team about naruto but sent a message through pakkun about naruto possibly heading to the Land of Water, which is in the middle of a civil war. In konoha hiruzen would take this news with a bitter taste as he could very well send his Anbu into the country to discern if naruto was indeed there.
"Why would he go to Mizu" hiruzen thought and lights his pipe, "Could the Dollmaker have hidden something there" he thought.
"Hokage-sama" an Anbu with designation of falcon appears in a kneeling position.
"What is it Falcon" hiruzen says.
"The Kurama compound has caught fire" falcon says and hiruzen's eyes widen, before bolting up from his chair and grabbing his kage hat. Hiruzen rushes to the kurama compound as Anbu and jonin were attempting to put the fire out, "How did this happen.. Could Yakumo's powers have gone unstable" he thought.
"Report" hiruzen says.
"About thirty minutes a fire broke out in the house of the compound.. Followed by several smaller fires in smaller buildings.. We've been working to put out the fire but we can confirm Unkai Kurama is dead and the heiress is missing" Uma relays. Hiruzen shifts his kage hat down to hide his face, "Have some Inuzuka trackers search the area.. We can not let whoever did this to escape.. Lock down the village as well" he orders and uma vanishes.
"First Naruto.. Now Yakumo.. Two broken children I have failed" hiruzen thought, returning to the hokage tower.

The island uzushio slowly comes into view as naruto maneuvers the yacht through the treacherous waters of his clan's birthplace. The blond could see several whirlpools the closer to shore they got but he manages to sail to the eastern edge of the island.
"So where are we going Uzumaki" zabuza says. Naruto has one of his clone drop anchor as the were a quarter mile from the island, "It will take a little time to find the entrance but I want to head to the center of the island as well" he says.
"Do we have an exact location" anko asks.
"The terrain may have changed in the time since she was here but I have some General land marks.. Hence the reason I anchored on the eastern half of the island" naruto says. All of them disembark and water-walk towards the beach as naruto pulls out the journal to open to the map.
"This way" naruto says, pointing to the northeast and they start to move through the forest. The signs of battle started make themselves known as the group sees the corpses of iwa, kumo, kiri and uzushio ninja but for every uzushio body there were at least four to five enemies corpses.
"It took three major nations to wipe out this country" naruto says.
"Yet the Uzumaki took quite a few with them" zabuza comments. The forest slowly gives way to steep countryside as naruto looks around and down to the journal, before looking for a set of three hills but one at the same time.
"There" naruto says, point to the mid-point between a series of hills and anko sees a set of three hills but at an angle. The group continues towards the three hills but in the distance to the west could see the remains of the village itself. Thanks to their superior sight kotaro and anko could several destroyed high-rise buildings, "Makes you wonder how advanced the Uzumaki were" anko says.
"We'll explore later.. Perhaps my Kinsmen left some of their secrets behind" naruto says, as the pick up the speed to near jonin speed. About an hour later the group reaches the three hills and naruto flips through the journal to how to enter the workshop, before closing the book and slipping it into his pouch.
"How do we get in" anko asks. Naruto starts weaving a lengthy chain of signs as the several glyphs start to light up on the middle hill, before slamming his hands between the glyphs. The area rumbles a bit and middle part open to reveal a door as it slowly opens as stale air escapes to mix with fresh air.
"You sure it safe" zabuza says.
"I'll send in some clones" naruto says and creates about a dozen clones to enter the workshop. About thirty minutes pass and soon the clone's memories start to filter in, "Some parts of impassable but what we need to get is safe" naruto says.
"We should seal this place off.. No sense letting anyone find anything" anko says and naruto nods, creating more clones to place explosive notes. The group makes their inside the workshop and follow the blond through several twists or turns to find a moderately sized room with what appear to be two coffins but with glass tops to see who is inside.
"They don't look like they have aged at all" zabuza says.
"The Dollmaker was one of kind" naruto says, looking over the two dolls. One is a petite young woman of about five feet even with black hair having two long braids bound in white cloth, each ending in a large golden ring. She wears a sleeveless and backless black outfit with long black arm bands, white socks and chinese slippers. The other is very tall with a red-orange mohawk and gold hoop earrings. He wears a dark undersuit, with a lime green vest, boots, and bracers.
"They won't attack us.. Once you awaken them" zabuza asks.
"I don't believe but you should be ready to defend yourselves" naruto says, opening the first coffin. He places his left hand on the young woman stomach and starts to channel the kyubi's chakra into her body as anko opens the second coffin. Her eyes shoot open to reveal storm-grey eyes, "Who are you" she says, leaving no wiggle room for debate.
"I am Naruto Uzumaki and I am the Dollmaker's Legacy" naruto says and she looks into his eyes, seeing no deception in them.
"Master's Legacy" she says and slowly sits up, "I am Soifon and I will serve you faithfully" she adds. Naruto slowly helps soifon from her coffin and turns his attention to her larger companion, "Which Lab did you find" she asks, looking over naruto's companions.
"The one in Konohagakure.. I awakened Franken and Melfina but I also awakened C2 and 9T or now known as Yui and Natsu" naruto says, channeling the kyubi's chakra once again.
"You've awakened Melfina.. She was our youngest" soifon says, watching her brother's eyes open to reveal ice-blue eyes.
"Soifon.. You are awake" he says.
"Yes 16.. Our Master's Legacy has awakened us" soifon says. 16 clips his eyes towards naruto, "Greeting Master.. I am 16 or you may call me Gebo" he says.
"I am Naruto Uzumaki.. They are Anko Mitarashi.. Kotaro Fuma.. Haku Yuki and Zabuza Momochi" naruto says. Gebo slowly sits up with a slow nod of his head to the others, "Greetings" he says.
"Gebo.. Soifon.. Do you know the locations of the Dollmaker's Final Workshop" naruto says. Gebo slowly gets out of his coffin with another nod and looks into naruto's azure blue eye, "Yes.. It is in the Land..." he starts.

AN-2: I'm going to end the chapter here with Naruto and company meeting Gebo and Soifon. Next chapter will pick up with them heading back and Naruto meeting Yakumo but I have plan for her Ido but I won't say. Also we'll have our group heading to meet the Daimyo but also Tsunade. I will also be introducing the Akatsuki and I hope you liked the twist of Danzo and Tobi working together.
The last workshop will either be in Snow Country or Iron Country, haven't decided but I can say for sure that one of the doll will Android 21. I will be working under the theory that Android 16 was Gero's son and 21 was his wife. The other will be a guy to keep up with the motif of one man and one woman. Thank you for your support and as always Stay Frosty!
