It's been a year and a half since Naruto (15 years old) left on his training trip and he had to say, Jiraiya so far was true to his word. Right now they were in Taki, since they had one of the biggest waterfalls and a lot of earth. He was practicing cutting leaves and cutting a waterfall with his wind chakra. But there was something weird with his water and earth affinities. When he practiced them, for some strange reason he felt like the two elements were synergizing with each like they were one. He mastered the toad style and was working on the toad jutsus. He also mastered every fuinjutsu to Jiraiya's knowledge and the hiraishin. He had about 10 water and earth jutsu, 3 wind jutsus since jiraiya didn't know much,and 5 fire jutsus. His speed was off the chart, from what Jiraiya said he's almost as fast as his father. Right now, he was meditating, trying to extend his senses. "Hey Naruto-kun, I should've known you were training."

Naruto turned his head and in front of him was a mint colored hair girl smiling at him. "Hey Fu-chan." Fu was a beautiful tanned girl with a toned body. She was 14 years old with B-cup breast and still growing, plus if Naruto would say a well toned butt. "Yeah, I have to. With the akatsuki after us, I have to be stronger."

Fu agreed. "Hey Naruto-kun, you know how I'm treated here and how this village doesn't have much power. I was wondering…would it be better if I go back to konoha with you? At Least until the akatsuki is gone?"

Naruto thought about it and smiled. "Yeah I agree, we'll talk about it with pervy sage when he returns. But I need a favor, can you give me some advice on how to befriend the kyuubi."

"What have you tried so far?"

"Greeting him, talking to him. I even gave up yelling." Naruto said.

"But did you try to understand him?" Fu asked.

"Naruto-kun, think real hard about him. I can't give you the answer because it won't be from the heart." Fu said. Naruto thought about it. He tried to be friends with the kyuubi but the fox told him all humans are all the same. That means he didn't trust Naruto. 'Man how is he going to be able to use the fox chakra if… that's it.'

Naruto smirked and closed his eyes. When he opened it, he was standing in front of the fox cage. "So you're back, trying to butter me up again. Is not going to work, so just leave."

Naruto stared at the Kyuubi for a while before bowing down. "I'm sorry."

The fox was shocked. "What are you saying?"

"I realized I'm acting like how the village expected me to be, a jinchuuriki. But I'm Naruto first. My intention was to really be your friend and even if you won't allow me to use your chakra that's fine. I'll get strong without it. We're a package deal, so I would like us to get along, I won't ask for your chakra but if the time comes when I need for both our sake, hopefully you'll allow me to use it."

The Kyuubi was quiet for a while and analyzed the blonde. If he was honest, he didn't hate Naruto, Naruto never asked for any of this and over the years of watching the boy, he was impressed by his courage, beating his brother, the hyuuga and thrashing the Uchiha. He was snapped out of his thoughts when the scenario changed to a meadow.

"I thought you could use a scenery change." Naruto said. The kyuubi looked around and back at Naruto. He was shocked and happy. Maybe Naruto was different, just one more push to change the fox's mind. The fox snapped out his thoughts when Naruto approached the cage and put his hand on the seal. "I change my mind, if we're going to be friends. You won't need a seal." Kyuubi was floored, how can Naruto do this?

"And what if I escape your body, killing you?" Naruto looked at the fox and smirked.

"Then I just die. I'm not a prison for someone who is innocent. You deserve to be free." Naruto answered. The kyuubi wanted to tear up but the moment the blonde prepared to rip off the seal, the kyuubi was about to protest until a hand grabbed the blonde's arm. Naruto looked to the side and his eyes widened. "T-tou-chan?"

Minato turned to Naruto and smirked. "Well it's good to see you, my son."

Naruto was feeling so many emotions, but happiness was the biggest one. He walked up to Minato and hugged him. Minato returned it. "Tou-chan, I always wanted to meet you."

"Same to you, sorry I wasn't there for you but you've grown into a wonderful young man. Now tell, why were you about to remove the seal?" Minato asked.

"Because the fox is innocent, he was being controlled when he attacked. I trust him." Naruto answered.

"Son, you have to understand he's a demon."

"Only in power standards. Have you talked to him, to try to understand his pain? Humans use bijuu for power, treat them like animals but they're intelligent. From what I learn, the fox has a right to be mad at us. The Shodai split them apart without consent and spread them apart. We humans were in the wrong, not the bijuu." Naruto said.

Minato didn't know what to say. It's true, if he was honest, if he was sealed for hundreds of years. He probably would be hateful towards everyone but still. "Naruto, you're right. I just don't want you to die."

"At Least I'll die doing the right thing." Naruto said. Minato felt pride in Naruto's words. Maybe he was right.

"I think you should listen to your father, kit. I appreciate the gesture but if you remove the seal, you will be floored with my chakra and it'll destroy you. I will help you control it." the kyuubi said.

Minato was surprised by this. "Why would you help him?"

"Because he sees me as a living being. He never wanted me to begin with and never used me for my power unlike Madara and your pervert of a sensei, who thinks he could control me. Naruto reminds me of…. Anyway, I will neither attempt to take over the kit nor betray him. He's one in a million, he's worth not killing." the fox answered.

Minato turned to his son and gave a small chuckle. "Well, I guess I was wrong. Naruto, follow the path you think is right and bring the world to a bright future. I believe you'll surpass me one day and become the greatest hokage." Minato started to fade. "I guess my time is almost up."

"Tou-chan, I promise I'll make you proud." Naruto said, hugging his father. Minato nodded before disappearing.

"Naruto, I want to thank you for defending my kind. You are the first of my vessels to not shun me and even talk to me. I am grateful and.." Kuruma started to glow, causing Naruto to cover his eyes. When he opened it, his eyes widened. Standing there was a long red haired girl and she was naked. She had breasts that were the same size as Tsunade's and a nice ass, plus the nine-tails. The woman smiled and blushed. "You know I can read you thoughts, thanks for the compliment. I only show this form to those I trust and you more than earn it."

Naruto was blushing up a storm and bowed. "I'M SORRY! If I knew you were a woman, I wouldn't have left you in a sewer. I shouldn't have assumed your gender because of your voice. I shouldn't have ever insulted you."

The kyuubi chuckled. "It's fine, I accept your apology. You did change your mindscape and.." She looked down and smirked when she saw the huge bulge. "I can clearly see you appreciate me and mean every word." the kyuubi said, licking her lips. "So Naruto-kun, you said you want to be friends? How about friends with a little benefit?"

Naruto's face turned red as she walked closer. "W-what do you mean?"

The kyuubi chuckled. "I mean we deepen our bond. We hug, kiss and sometimes a little more. The deeper our bond, the better your control over my chakra. You'll still be a virgin in the outside plane and plus, it'll teach you how to handle women. There's no loss here. And before you answer, let me give you some insight." The kyuubi grabbed the back of Naruto's head and crashed her lips onto his, pouring some chakra down his throat, moaning in the process. She had to admit, Anko taught her master how to kiss well.

Naruto's mind was on cloud nine, this was the greatest day of his life. He met his father, befriended the kyuubi and kissing a beautiful girl who looks was on par with Anko's. The kyuubi pulled back and smiled, while licking her lips. "Wow." Naruto said, still in a daze.

The kyuubi blushed. "Why thank you, just do more of that and we'll be good. Also that kiss was more than for pleasure. "

Naruto smiled and nodded. "Thank you Kyu– huh, now that I think about it, calling you the kyuubi seems wrong when you're in this form. Do you have a name? I mean you can talk."

The kyuubi smirked. "You just keep impressing me, yes I have a name. Call me Akumi."

Naruto nodded before realizing something. "Can you please put on some clothes?!"

Akumi smiled and in a flash. She was wearing a sleeveless kimono that went down to her thighs and the kimono exposed her cleavages. "Clothes are uncomfortable, how do you humans wear this? Anyway, you should go. My sister's host is getting anxious. See you soon Naruto-sama. Before you go, rip off part of the seal, that way we'll be more connected."

"Don't call me that! I'll see you later, Akumi-chan." Naruto said before ripping a quarter of the seal off and disappearing.

Naruto opened his eyes and saw Fu smiling at him. "You did it, I can tell."

Naruto nodded. "Yeah, tell me. Did Chomei know Akumi was a girl?"

Fu was confused until it dawned on her and the fact she heard Chomei laughing. "I'm guessing she did. So what now?"

"Hmm, well we still have to wait for ero-sannin to ask him can you come along with us to Konoha." Naruto said.

"I think it's a great Idea." the two jinchuriki turned to see Shibuki approach them. "I overheard your conversation and I agree. It'll be safer and not only that, Fu can probably make some friends. I'll send Tsunade a letter, she'll probably send someone to pick you up."

"Don't worry about it, I'll take her." Jiraiya said, appearing out of nowhere. "I was going to make my way to Takumi to call in a favor from Seimei and see if he could pay me back the favor."

Shibuki agreed and allowed it. He still loves Fu and cares for the female jinchuuriki, but this was for the best. Traveling with Jiraiya would keep her safe until she reached next day Naruto and the group left Taki to their next destination.

a month later

Yugao was limping, she was gathering information on Orochimaru and there were rumors that there was oto nin in Kusa and she did discover a bass but it self-destructed. She was soon attacked by some oto nins and was able to kill them, even though part still felt empty since her fiance's death. 'Hayate, I might see you soon' Yugao said, making her way through Kawa( land of river). Despite wanting to see her fiance, she was not a suicidal person even thou she been completing S-rank missions by herself try to ease the pain of loss. "There you are." Yugao turned her head and saw five oto nins glaring at her.

Yugao was panicking, she was hurt and tired. She could probably take out two but the other three would definitely kill her. "How many of you nuisance are there?" Yugao asked.

"Hey, look at her. Maybe we can have some fun with her." Yugao's eyes widened at the suggestion. 'No..' "Hmm, you're right. Orochimaru-sama only keeps guys around. It'll feel good and she's anbu. I'll enjoy watching her break." Yugao started to back up slowly and closed her eyes. 'Please Hayate-koi, protect me.'

"Hey, what's going on!?" Yugao opened her eyes and saw the oto nins sinking in mud. Then a cloaked figure landed in front of her. The cloaked figure went through some hand signs and ended it with a tiger seal, startling the oto nins. "Katon: Ryuuka no jutsu." The ninjas were covered in flames and screaming in agony as they died.

"I hate rapists." the cloaked figure said. Yugao wasn't sure what to do, a mysterious stranger just saved her life and she was on guard. But on the strangers back a beautiful sword. It was a silver single edge broadsword with angel wings as the guard and the edges was a dark gold. The figure turned to Yugao and gave a warm smile underneath the hood. "Are you ok?"

Yugao narrowed her eyes behind her mask. "Why did you save me?"

The figure chuckled. "Well, for one. I couldn't let a terrible fate happen upon a beautiful woman." Yugao blushed. "And two, you always protected me neko tenshi."

Yugao's eyes widened at the nickname. There was a little boy she protected who called her that. "Naruto-kun?"

The figure took off his hood, revealing blonde spikey hair. "In the flesh." Naruto said. He picked her up, bridal style. "I got you, you're hurt."

"I can handle my-" she stop speaking when she saw the concern look Naruto was giving her. She couldn't help but look ashamed. She was clearly worrying the blonde and she needed to let go of her pride. "Fine, thanks for the help." Yugao Said.

Naruto gave her a warm smile. "No problem, I would be devastated if something happened to my angel." Yugao blushed at the comment and mumbled " adorable baka' and passed out in his arms. She snuggled close to blonde, causing Naruto to blush. 'She's cute when she sleeps.'

"Where am I?" "Yugao-chan." Yugao eyes widened as she turned her head to find her fiance Hayate. Hayate was smiling at her but his expression was sad. "Yugao-chan, I'm sorry for all the pain, I've been watching you. I hated seeing taking those S-rank missions trying to die."

"Hayate, it's not your fauly. I love you and when you died, you took my heart. But I never blamed you." Yugao responded.

"I know, but still. How do you think i feel seeing you depressed constantly trying to kill yourself?" Yugao looked down in shame. "I know you loved me but for my sake and your sake, move on.

But.." "No buts, i want you to be happy. Maybe you can find someone to teach my sword style to." Hayate said.

"There's no one like that in konoha. No one will ever surpass you." Yugao stated. Hayate was a great swordsman but since he only focused on that, he was worse against wind shinobi. Hayate chuckled at the complement.

"Actually there is? Remember in konoha, there was one person better than me."

"Yeah, Kushina-sensei but she's dead."

"True, but her son is not." Yugao's eyes widened.

"But he failed the academy and from what I heard, he doesn't take training seriously." Yugao stated.

"Not true, those who spread those rumors had a vendetta against the kyuubi and.." Hayate stated.

"Took it out on him, even Mizuki.." Yugao snapped her head at Hayate. "Which means most of his instructors must've sabotaged him."

"You got it, now I don't have much time.. Yugao." Hayate approached the anbu and put his hand on her cheek. "Please move on. I'll always love you. And I want to see you happy."

Yugao was crying but nodded. "I'll try and I love you too." Yugao stated before everything turned white and they both disappeared.

Yugao groaned and soon woke up and looked around, she was in a hut and she felt hot plus the hut was small. "Oh, you're awake?" Yuguo turned to the source and saw a toad. "Excuse me for startling you, Naruto-boy asked me to help you and explained how you were there for him when he was a kid. He told me how precious you are to him." Yugao blushed.

"Where is he?" Yugao asked.

"He's practicing a new kenjutsu style he came up with, he calls it the wild fox blade style." Yugao was interested. "Also, Hokage-hime knows about your injury, she wants you to relax until you're better."

Yugao nodded. To be honest, since Hayate died, she hadn't relaxed at all. She agreed but was still bored."Can I go see Naruto-kun? Umm- what's your name?"

"Oh my, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Fukusaka the toad-sage, the leader of the toads."

Yugao's eyes widened and bowed. "It's an honor to meet you. I'm Yugao Uzuki."

Fukusaka nodded. "Likewise, now let's go find my apprentice." Yugao was surprised. Naruto was the student of one of the strongest beings ever. He let her outside to a swamp surrounded by mountains and a toad statue. She had to admit it was quite beautiful.

"So Fukusaka-sama, how is Naruto-kun here? I mean he was with Jiraiya-sama." Yugao asked.

"Well Jiraiya-boy dropped Naruto off in the land of the river to call in a favor from a black smith there. He gave Naruto-boy a pair of swords and left him there to return to konoha with a new resident. I decided to pick him up and bring him here but before I made a move, Naruto-boy summoned Gamakichi and I brought you two here."

How long have I been out?" Yugao asked.

"About 4 days. Naruto-boy has been checking up on you in between his training, I never seen him so worried. What's your connection with the boy?"

"I was one of the anbu who protected him when he was a kid. He apparently remembers me and thinks highly of me." Yugao answered.

"Excuse me for being rude but you don't seem that old. Aren't most anbu in their late twenties?" Fukusaka chuckled.

"Thank you but I made anbu when I was 12, genin when I was 6. Naruto-kun's mother took me as an apprentice, I was ro talented and graduated early. When Naruto-kun was six, I was made into anbu and my first mission was to protect him." Yugao explained. They soon arrived at a waterfall, and saw multiple Narutos. Some practiced water manipulations, some on the ground levitating the rocks around them, practicing various jutsu and studying. "What's going on?" Yugao asked.

"Do you not know the benefits of kage bunshin?" Fukusaka asked. Yugao nodded. "Well, that's what's going on. Naruo-boy can produce thousands of clones easily and since he's a jinchuuriki, he doesn't suffer from headaches or backlashes. He can do years worth of training in one day. We have some clones doing various exercises, even some practicing sage mode. It will take some time but I'm sure he'll get it down."

Yugao was shocked, Hayate was right, Naruto had the potential to be the strongest shinobi ever. "Where is the real one?"

Fukusaka pointed to a direction in the forest. Yugao walked and saw one Naruto with two swords in his hand, a long sword and a wakizashi, fighting against clones.. It was an unusual style but the way he was moving, he looked like a heavy wind, not a storm and not a breeze. He would use the short sword to guide an attack away from him and slash with the long sword as he moved around his opponents, then he would switch it up by blocking with the long sword and reverse slash with the short one. "His style is very.."

"Unpredictable…people say his fighting style was sloppy but if you can put some power and speed with a little bit of coordination. You can create your own style." Fukusaka explained.

"I want to spar with him." Yugao said.

"Good, I heard you're a master at kenjutsu. I will allow it once your wounds heal, after you can spar. In the meantime, why not help the boy. He is still a bit sluggish." Fukusaka said.

Yugao agreed and walked towards the blonde as he finished sparring with his clones. Naruto, feeling a disturbance in the wind, smiled. "Are you feeling better, neko-chan?" Naruto asked without looking at her.

Yugao was surprised he knew she was there and didn't even turn around. H-hai, how did you know I was here?"

"The wind told me. So, you're going to help me with my kenjutsu?"

"That's right, I saw what you could do and I have to say, your movement is beautiful. I know you're training with Fukusaka-sama, but I'm not going to be him forever. So I'll teach you what I can." Yugao said, sitting down on a rock.

"Hai Yugao-sensei, I appreciate it and it's an honor to learn under your guidance." Naruto said. Yugao blushed and smiled. 'This boy has heart.'

Anko and Shizune stood in front of the godaime. They were both called to the office and when they walked in, Tsunade was going through paperwork. She looked up and moved it to the side. "Anko, Shizune. I'm glad you're here."

"Is everything ok, Tsunade-sama?" Shizune asked.

"Everything is fine, i 've been thinking and I decided it was time for the Sannin to be replaced. I'm Hokage, Jiraiya is our spy and Orochimaru is a traitor. So to show the world we still have our power, I decided to choose Naruto, along with you two. You all have been trained by Sannin and have summons. So I thought this would be perfect." Tsunade answered, gauging their reaction.

"Really, sweet?" Anko said.

"Are you sure I'm ready, Tsunade-sama?" Shizune asked.

"No, you're not but I know how to fix that." Tsunade began. "You see, one of my anbu has been injured and I thought you two could replace her and use this opportunity to get stronger. Shizune I know we had this conversation, you need more elemental or offensive jutsu's. I also want you to sign the slug contract and I will train you a little more. Anko you need to hone everything you know, maybe take up kenjutsu. Well what do you say?"

"I'm definitely in..I need to get stronger to protect Foxy-kun." Anko answered.

"If you believe in me, I'll try my best." Shizune said.

"Great, Anko. Would it be possible to finish training with the snakes?" Tsunade asked.

"Well, I can try. I know Manda was replaced and I heard the snake is very honorable. I can ask but make no promises." Anko replied.

"Alright, so for 6 months, I want you to train. Anko, you'll train in kenjutsu, fuinjutsu, genjutsu and element training. Shizune, you'll train in taijutsu, genjutsu, fuinjutsu and element training as well. If you can make time with the summons, that'll be helpful. When Naruto-kun gets back, I'll pull you out of anbu." Tsunade instructed.

"Hai, godaime-sama." The jonin kunoichis replied.

2 months later.

'This is amazing..' Naruto thought to himself, feeling the nature chakra around him. He could feel Yugao, Fukusaka and the toads' life force around. He also felt his chakra through the ground, building up in a certain spot. Curious, he forced more into the ground and added so senjutsu to it unconsciously.

"Naruto-boy!" Fukusaka called. Naruto opened his eyes with gold. Yugao was staring at him with awe. Fukusaka had a similar look. "My boy, look around you." Naruto tilted his head sideways and looked around to see trees.

"Umm, so you planted trees but wait, trees don't grow that fast." Naruto said.

"Naruto-kun, you grew them. Fukusaka-sama said you were pouring chakra into the ground and this happened." Yugao said.

"Naruto-boy, you awakened the ability of the first hokage."

What! But how? Last I checked, my affinities were water, wind and earth."

"I think it might be because our struggle has ended." Akumi said. "I used to force my chakra through you, interrupting your control and when you got angry, it helped me influence you. But now that we're partners, I stopped influencing you and I guess your chakra is stable."

Naruto nodded and informed the two of what Akumi said. "Huh, I'll ask Tsunade if she could send some of her grandfather's scrolls. Naruto-boy, you realize your training just got harder."

Naruto sighed. "I know but it'll be worth it. Can you continue to help me?"

Yugao smiled. "I don't mind. Training the future hokage will look good on my resume."

"I'll help you, Naruto-boy. The fight with the akatsuki will be difficult and you'll need all the help you can get." Naruto nodded and continued to try to master sage mode.

So whoever request Naruto learn the mokuton. you got it. now Naruto will learn the Hirashin, this will be important. for the harem.
