Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! And it's a long one this time as we see Naruto granting a lot more wishes, with some having much more far-reaching consequences. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
"So, the Fūma Clan specializes in Chakra Manipulation?" Yakumo asked as she, Naruto and Kagerō sat within the palace inside the Ring.
Having shown the greenette around, much to Kagerō's amazement at the size of the palace and everything there was. With her having picked a room across from where Naruto's and Yakumo's rooms, being further amazed when she saw the room seemed to have made specifically for her. Learning from Naruto and Yakumo their rooms were the same when they picked them.
Once they've finished, the trio had gone to the living room, which was filled with multiple chairs, couches and cushions scattered everywhere, making it so they could sit anywhere comfortably. Before they began talking and getting to know each other better. Naruto also telling Kagerō how he ended up becoming a Genie and the secrets he'd learned with his own wishes.
Something that amazed the greenette, and made her feel sorry for everything he went through before being tricked and trapped by the Djinn. With them soon asking each other what they could do, Naruto being especially curious of what Yakumo and Kagerō could do.
"Some of us do, we also specialize in Chakra Threads, using them beyond Kugutsu like in Suna. One of our techniques involves connecting the users heart to a targets, making it so anything that happens to the user also happens to whoever they're connected to." Said Kagerō, much Naruto's and Yakumo's concern.
"That…seems pretty dangerous, doesn't it. Since wouldn't the damage also apply to the user?" Naruto asked, with Kagerō nodding in response.
"Yes, any damage to one is inflicted on the other, but that's the point. The Jutsu is meant to serve as a last resort where the user would kill themselves to take an enemy down with them, usually if they're already on the brink of death." Kagerō replied, the Genie gulped at the idea of a technique like that existing.
"Well…what else can your clan do?" Questioned Yakumo, changing the subject.
"As I said, the Fūma Clan specializes in Chakra Manipulation and Hidden Techniques, another is our Cursed Mandala, which only a few Fūma are capable of using due to the Chakra it requires and they also need a strong will to keep it active. The Cursed Mandala allows the user to trap a target in Chakra cage, shaped like a pyramid, which continuously shrinks until they're crushed. However, the user must keep their hands in a specific formation and never falter otherwise the cage can break, which would trigger a violent explosion that could injure the user." Explained Kagerō, making Naruto and Yakumo look at her with wide eyes.
"O…kay. Anything that's…less deadly to the user?" Naruto asked, with Kagerō humming in thought before shaking her head..
"Not really, several of our Jutsu are incredibly dangerous due to the amount of Chakra they require or result in the users death, or near-death. Another is my own Ephemeral, it's one that can really only be used once as the amount of Chakra required can put the user in a near-dead state, but it's also incredibly powerful. It also allows me to float in the air and instantly teleport myself." Kagerō replied.
"…Your clan really has a lot of dangerous techniques." Yakumo stated, not expecting a clan to create so many techniques that could end up being more lethal to them than their enemies.
"Perhaps, but it encourages us to branch out and improve ourselves in other areas to avoid using the more dangerous Jutsu, we know. Many of the Fūma Clan train in archery and other weapons while others learn Ninjutsu, Genjutsu or even create their own unique Ninjutsu, like one of my clansmen, Jigumo, uses spiders and spiderwebs. While I've also taken to learning Fire Style and Earth Style Ninjutsu, as well training with the Transformation Jutsu to create more realistic and lifelike transformations." Said Kagerō, knowing that while her clan's Hidden Techniques are powerful, it wouldn't be wise to rely on them.
"That's good at least, and I'm sure you're pretty strong, especially since you said you were a Jōnin." Naruto said smiling at the greenette, which she returned.
"Thank you, Naruto. I am proud of the training I've done to reach the level I'm at. And I hope to grow even stronger." Said Kagerō, desiring to grow stronger to help protect her new friends, before she turned to Yakumo.
"What about you Yakumo? I have heard of the Kurama Clan and how they specialize in Genjutsu. Have you trained in Genjutsu?" Kagerō asked, making the brunette frown slightly but nod in response.
"I've trained a little in Genjutsu, along with inheriting the full power of my clans Kekkei Genkai which let me cast lifelike Genjutsu. To the point where your brain would think what you're feeling is real, like if I put someone in a Genjutsu of being on fire, their body would actually start being covered in burns. I usually use paintings as a medium to cast Genjutsu, but I'm hoping to change that and be able to cast them with handsigns or willing it." Replied Yakumo, hoping she'll be able to begin training again.
While Kagerō looked at her in amazement that her Genjutsu could be that powerful to trick an opponent's mind into physically reflecting the damage onto their body.
"That's amazing, even Kotohime's skill in Genjutsu can't reach that level. And if you need any assistance in training I'd be happy to help. While I may not specialize in Genjutsu, I do know enough that you'd be able to continue on your own afterwards." Offered Kagerō, much to the Kurama Heiress's gratitude.
"Thank you Kagerō, I'd really like that." Yakumo said, smiling gratefully, before both girls turned to Naruto, interested in learning what he can do.
Making the Uzumaki scratch the back of his head sheepishly, willing to admit that aside from his magic he didn't really have any abilities or Jutsu like them. The only Jutsu he really had was his Sexy Jutsu, and he wasn't sure it'd be a good idea to show Yakumo or Kagerō.
'Those Taki Kunoichi definitely didn't like it.' Naruto thought, shivering at remembering nearly being killed by those Taki Kunoichi and that his Sexy Jutsu was useless against them.
Luckily, Naruto was saved from needing to answer when he felt a familiar tug at his being, showing someone's found the Ring.
"Looks like I'm being summoned, see you in a bit!" Naruto said as he vanished in a swirl of smoke, leaving Yakumo and Kagerō by themselves.
"So do we simply wait for him to return or…" Kagerō said, wondering what they did while Naruto's granting wishes, only to stop when before a screen of smoke appeared in front of them.
"Even better, we get to see for ourselves what happens." Said Yakumo smiling as they watched images begin forming of who found the Ring this time.
*Real World*
Appearing in a swirl of smoke, Naruto saw he was in a rocky area with stone pillars around him and only a few plants here and there.
'Wonder where I am now.' Naruto thought before turning to who summoned him.
"Hello! I'm-GAH!" Naruto said, only to gag when he was suddenly slammed into the ground and an arm was pressed against his throat.
"Who are you?! Where did you come from?! How did you infiltrate Iwagakure?!" Demanded the person who summoned him, a girl from the sound of the voice.
'Iwagakure, so I'm in the Land of Earth. Fuck!' Naruto thought, not believing he ended up here of all places, given how Konoha and Iwa tended to be enemies during times of war and conflict.
Even more so that they likely didn't have a high open of his father after he killed a thousand Iwa Ninja himself, nor didn't it help that Naruto was a mini version of him, either.
"Th-The Ring…y-you s-su-su-summoned…m-m-me-me…" Naruto said, having trouble breathing from the pressure against his throat, before he looked at who summoned him.
It was a young woman, looking to be seventeen or eighteen-years-old with fair skin, shoulder-length brown hair with a single lock falling onto the right side of her face and going over her right eye just a little bit, and steel-grey eyes with orange markings in the corner, along with very small eyebrows. She wore what appeared to be an altered, purple kimono dress with red trimmings. She wore a yellow sash around her waist and thigh-length stockings that merged into her sandals.
"The Ring?! What is it?! Some kind of Reverse Summoning device?!" Demanded the girl, glaring at him suspiciously, only to be shocked when Naruto's body dissolved into smoke before reforming a few feet away from her.
"No! It's not something that summons anyone else, but me. As I was saying my names Naruto's Uzumaki, the Genie of the Ring. Ask and I shall I grant three wishes. But I can't resurrect those who have been dead for more than year or have died of natural cause, grant power greater than that of the gods of the realm, make people fall in love, time travel, wish for more wishes or kill anyone who is truly innocent, such as young children, infants, or the rare good and honest people." Naruto said, while the girl stood up still glaring at him, but now looked intrigued.
"A Genie, that grants wishes? And how do I know this isn't some trick from Konoha to attack Iwa?" The girl said, surprising Naruto that she knew he was from Konoha.
"How did you-" Said Naruto, only for her to scoff and cross her arms, while looking at the Ring she'd stumbled on while training.
"I'm not an idiot, so don't insult my intelligence. You say you're an Uzumaki yet look more like a clone of the Yellow Flash. I've only heard of one Uzumaki that had been in Konoha in the past few decades and she's now dead. It's not hard guessing who you are." Said the girl narrowing her eyes at him, making Naruto gulp that she could figure out who his parents are.
"A-and…wh-what're you going to do now?" Naruto asked nervously, unsure if she planned to take him to the Tsuchikage or use him to attack Konoha with her wishes.
With the girl glancing between him and the Ring for a few moments, rolling it between her fingers as she contemplated everything he said and what she's been able to figure out.
"You say you can grant me three wishes, aside from those that would break the rules you told me? Is that true?" She asked, skeptical but willing to believe after how he turned into smoke, with the whiskered blonde nodding slow in response.
"Yeah, I can grant you three wishes. Um…but could you at least tell me your name?" Naruto asked, hoping to know the name of his new master.
"Suzumebachi Kamizuru of the Kamizuru Clan." Said Suzumebachi with a proud smirk, while Naruto blinked in confusion.
"Kamizuru Clan?" Naruto asked, only to gulp when Suzumebachi scowled.
"Yes! A noble and powerful clan that the Shodai Tsuchikage, my grandfather, is descended from! Now I lead it, because no one else will." Suzumebachi said bitterly, angry that she has to lead what few members of her clan are left, simply because the Sandaime Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, doesn't even care for them, despite being a member himself.
Even worse was that both Ōnoki and his granddaughter Kurotsuchi have never bothered trying to learn their clans Bee Ninjutsu. Instead, choosing their Jinton Kekkei Tōta and Yōton Kekkei Genkai respectively, rather than the techniques of their clan.
"S-sorry! I-I just…never heard of a clan like that, or any other clans outside of Konoha. And even then, I don't really know much about the clans there, either." Naruto said, with the brunette merely scoffing.
"Of course you tree-huggers wouldn't bother learning about the clans of other villages. Why bother when you have so many of your own. I'm sure you've heard of the Aburame Clan, though." Said Suzumebachi, angry at the mention of her clan's rivals and the ones responsible for their current state.
"Not…really. I mean I used to go to the Academy with Shino Aburame, but that's all I know." Replied Naruto, only recognizing the name of his former classmate, with the Kamizuru smirking slightly that he didn't know about the Aburame Clan.
"Then you shouldn't waste your time learning about them, they're the ones responsible nearly wiping out my entire clan and destroying our reputation." Suzumebachi stated before looking at the Ring eagerly, now seeing her chance to restore her clans former glory, and make them rise even higher.
"Right…" Naruto said while nodding slowly.
"So…do you have anything you want to wish for at the moment?" Naruto asked, wanting to grant her wishes and get out of here before any, less friendly, Iwa Ninja show up.
"Yes I do. For my first wish, I desire for the restoration of the Kamizuru Clans status and respect, as well as the resources needed to build us back to our former glory." Said Suzumebachi, wanting to first ensure her clan is restored before going onto what else she wants.
"Granted." Said Naruto snapping his fingers, with a ring of smoke appearing in front of them.
Suzumebachi couldn't stop herself from smiling in joy at seeing the dilapidated Kamizuru Clan's Compound, watching as it was rebuilt and restored. With dozens of large hives being set up filled with bees and being tended to by beekeepers. Even feeling happy as she saw Kurotsuchi now training in using their Bee Ninjutsu and incorporating her Yōton into it, making it even stronger.
'As it should be.' Suzumebachi thought, pleased that her younger cousin was now learning their clan's techniques.
"You have my thanks, I never thought I'd get the chance to see my home restored to what it once was, this soon." Suzumebachi said, unable to deny her gratitude that the Kamizuru Clans status was restored, having thought it'd take the rest of her life to regain what they'd lost.
"Glad I could help." Replied Naruto, smiling a little since she did look truly happy at the sight.
"Now for my second wish, I wish to have my grandfather's secret scroll filled with the Forbidden Techniques he left within it, along with the lost weapon of my clan returned to me." Suzumebachi said eagerly.
Desiring to have her grandfather's Forbidden Techniques that had been lost to further bolster her clan's reputation. But even better is having the legendary weapon her clan once possessed, which she's only heard of, due to it being lost before Iwa was even founded.
"Granted." Said Naruto, snapping his fingers, causing a scroll to appear in front of Suzumebachi along with an ornate black and gold case with the Kamizuru Clan's symbol on it.
The brunette didn't waste a second before grabbing the scroll and opening it, grinning at each Jutsu she saw within, now seeing why her grandfather had chosen to keep them hidden.
'If we had these during our invasion, the Aburame Clan would be nothing but a memory.' Suzumebachi thought, excited to get started on learning these Jutsu.
"But this…it's beautiful…" Said Suzumebachi, kneeling down to the case and opening it, her eyes widening in awe at the sight of her clan's legendary weapon, knowing the stories she heard didn't do it justice.
Curious of what the weapon was, Naruto went over and looked in the case, raising a brow when he saw the weapon was actually a black and gold gauntlet, patterned to look like a hornet. It also had a small chain attached to a golden stinger like blade that looked twice as long as a normal finger.
"What is it exactly?" Naruto asked, while Suzumebachi gently grabbed the gauntlet and slipped it onto her right hand, with the stinger sliding over her middle finger.
"This gauntlet was passed down through my clan since the Warring States Era, until it had been lost to us. But when we had it, it was known that anyone hit by its stinger would inevitably die, due to the venom contained within it. However first a target must be marked and when that mark is hit again, they will die no matter what and leave nothing behind. The attack is known as Death in Two Steps, as that's all it takes to kill. We've been trying to find it ever since and hoped it would be found. It's why I was named Suzumebachi, my parents believed I would be the one to restore our clan's status. So I bear the same name as my clan's weapon, Suzumebachi." Suzumebachi said gleefully that the weapon she was named after is now hers, before she turned to Naruto.
"And to think I have you to thank for this. I'm sure you can see the irony in that." Stated Suzumebachi, not believing that this was possible thanks to the son of her village's greatest enemy.
"Yeah." Naruto replied warily, before deciding to wait for her third wish and hope it's nothing bad.
Only to gulp when Suzumebachi looked at him, now having a wicked glint in her eyes.
"And now, for my final wish, I wish to have all the secrets and knowledge of the Aburame Clan and their fabled Insect Summoning Scroll." Said Suzumebachi, now wanting to take away the Aburame Clans secrets and use them to get their revenge.
"G-Granted." Said Naruto, snapping his fingers, causing multiple scrolls and a much larger one to appear in a swirl of smoke in front of Suzumebachi, much to her glee.
'Yes! At last my clan's reputation is restored, we have regained everything we had lost and now we will soon have all the secrets of the Aburame Clan!' Thought Suzumebachi, feeling happier than she had in years, to know that all her dreams and goals are within her grasp
"You have my utmost gratitude for what you've done for my clan. Even if you are merely granting my wishes, I suppose you still deserve a rew-" Suzumebachi said, turning back to Naruto, feeling all this earned him a reward, only to frown when she didn't see him anywhere.
'Where did he go? Did he go back to the-' Thought Suzumebachi before her eyes widened in shock when she saw the Ring had disappeared from her hand.
Looking around the ground in case she dropped it, the Kamizuru cursed when she didn't see any sign of the Ring.
'Damnit! I used all my wishes, so it must've disappeared!' Suzumebachi thought, having hoped to keep the Ring and gain more wishes for the rest of her clan and village, before she sighed reluctantly.
"I suppose it might be good it's gone, wouldn't want anyone to discover how Iwa suddenly became much more powerful and try undoing any of my wishes. But it's a shame, our children certainly would've been powerful." Suzumebachi said while smirking, having intended to reward Naruto by having sex with him.
Believing it was a fitting reward, he restored her clans reputation, returned her grandfather's techniques and her clans weapon, and gave them their rival clans secrets and knowledge. So Suzumebachi thought it'd be the perfect reward that he'd get to enjoy her body as much as he wanted.
And on the chance she got pregnant, all the better that her children would have the blood of the Kamizuru and Uzumaki Clans, as well as the blood of the Yellow Flash.
'Oh well, maybe I'll get lucky and the Ring will show up again or I'll find it out on a mission. Hopefully when he's older too.' Thought Suzumebachi, licking her lips before gathering up all the scrolls and made her way back to the compound, eager to begin her new training.
*Ring*
Meanwhile, Naruto reappeared inside the Ring, frowning as he entered the palace and was greeted by Yakumo and Kagerō.
"Are you alright, Naruto?" Kagerō asked, noticing his expression, along with having seen how he acted and felt while granting Suzumebachi's wishes.
"I'm fine, just…realizing that not everyone who finds the Ring will have the best intentions with their wishes." Said Naruto, worried that he basically gave Suzumebachi everything she'd want to attack and destroy the Aburame Clan.
And while he's not exactly loyal to Konoha anymore after everything he's learned those in power have done. It still didn't feel good that he gave away another clans secrets and knowledge like that, even if he didn't really have a choice. Though while it wasn't bad per say, Naruto was now seeing that there's always the chance someone bad or evil would find the Ring. And he'd have no choice but to grant their wishes, no matter what they were.
But he's relieved the restrictions and rules of what wishes he can and can't grant would limit the damage done, it's still concerning.
"Yeah, it seems like you were getting lucky with who was finding the Ring and even Suzumebachi's wishes were more morally grey in nature than being actually bad. But…" Said Yakumo, trailing off before perking up as she got an idea.
"What if you bent their wishes around." Yakumo said, making Naruto and Kagerō look at her.
"Bend their wishes around?" Naruto asked with a raised brow, with the greenette soon realizing what Yakumo's saying.
"As in you could use the way they word their wishes against them or even take them incredibly literally." Said Kagerō, with Yakumo nodding in agreement with a smile.
"Yeah! Like how you told us the Djinn you met twisted your third wish around to make it seem like you wished to become a Djinn yourself, making you take his place. You could do the same with anyone that has less-than-kind wishes, like say…if someone wishes for you to make them a king, you could make them an actual king or just dress them up as a king." Said Yakumo, with the whiskered Genie soon nodding in realization.
"That…could actually work. But I'd still need to grant their wishes in a way that won't make them realize it's not really what they wanted, otherwise they'd be more careful in what they wish for." Naruto said, knowing that doing something like that could also backfire on him, easily.
"Indeed. It may depend on who ends up finding the Ring and how smart they are in how they word their wishes." Kagerō stated, with Naruto and Yakumo nodding in agreement.
"Well either way, it'll hopefully be a while before I need to do something like that." Said Naruto, hoping it'll be a while before he ends up having to grant the wishes of someone bad or evil, which would also give him time to better react and prepare for any nefarious wishes and how to counter them.
Though before any of them could say anything, Naruto groaned when he felt himself being summoned again.
"Looks like I'm going, again." Naruto stated as he vanished in a swirl of smoke, making both girls frown slightly that he's being summoned again.
"I'm hoping that he'll be able to get a break soon." Yakumo said, given it seems that Naruto's being constantly summoned again and again, making her wonder how people kept finding the Ring so fast.
"Well we don't really have a way to tell time in here, days or even weeks could be passing by and we'd have no way of being able to tell." Said Kagerō, with the brunette's frown deepening and nodding.
"Yeah…" Muttered Yakumo as the screen appeared before them, while thinking how they'll be able to get a better idea how much time is passing outside the Ring.
*Real World*
"Hello! I'm Nar-" Naruto said only to yelp and quickly fly into the air, avoiding a kunai that had been thrown at his head.
'Why does that keep happening?! I swear, the next person who attacks me will be my first test subject in bending wishes!' Thought Naruto, wondering why it seems everyone who's been summoning him recently keeps attacking him.
"Who are you and where did you come from?! And how are you flying?!" Demanded his summoner, another girl from her voice.
Looking at his new summoner, Naruto saw the girl seemed to be nine-years-old with fair skin, teal eyes and sandy blonde hair, which is gathered into four consecutive pigtails. With her wearing a black tunic with two intersecting laces on the collar, dull greyish-purple pants, and black Ninja sandals.
The girl was also glaring at him suspiciously while holding another kunai in her hand and the Ring in the other. Naruto gave a quick look around and guessed that they were currently inside her room, noticing how the walls seemed to be made of either stone or solidified sand.
"I swear I'm not an enemy, a spy, an assassin, or anything else! Just let me explain, please!" Said Naruto, hoping that she'd be willing to hear him out than try attacking him, with the girl narrowing her eyes at him before glancing down at the Ring.
"…Fine. How did you appear out of this ring?" The girl asked, making Naruto slowly float down to the ground, but was ready to move in case she tried attacking him again.
"Okay, let's start again. I'm Naruto's Uzumaki, the Genie of the Ring. Ask and I shall I grant three wishes. But I can't resurrect those who have been dead for more than year or have died of natural cause, grant power greater than that of the gods of the realm, make people fall in love, time travel, wish for more wishes or kill anyone who is truly innocent, such as young children, infants, or the rare good and honest people." Naruto said with the girl now frowning at hearing this, but now had an interested look in her eyes.
"A Genie? Are you serious or is this just some kind of trick?" Questioned the girl, having her doubts but not outright dismissing his claim.
"Yes, I swear I'm telling the truth, you even saw me fly. I can also do this." Said Naruto before snapping his fingers, creating a colorful cloud right underneath the girl, making her yelp in surprise before she floated up into the air.
"What the hell…" The girl muttered in disbelief, before looking at Naruto as he sat on his own cloud with a grin.
"Believe me now?" Naruto said rhetorically, with the girl nodding mutely in response, having never heard of any Ninjutsu that could do something like this.
"Y-yeah…I believe you. And…that means you can grant any wishes I want, anything at all?" Said the girl, with Naruto nodding in response.
"That's right. But could I actually ask you a couple things before we get to the wish granting?" Naruto asked, hoping to see if he could figure out where he is now and see if he can guess how much has passed.
Having hoped to ask Suzumebachi if she'd heard anything about Orochimaru's death, the only wish he granted that'd give him an idea of how much times passed since he became a Genie. But he'd been more focused on making sure she didn't kill him and keeping an eye out for any other Iwa Ninja.
"S-sure. What did you want to ask?" The girl replied, figuring she could answer a few questions while thinking over the fact she had three wishes and what she could wish for.
"Great! Could you tell me where I am at the moment? And who are you?" Questioned Naruto.
"You're in Sunagakure, specifically my room. And I'm Temari." Temari introduced, making the whiskered blonde smiled and nodded at her.
"It's nice to meet you, Temari." Naruto said before his cloud floated over to her window and looked outside, seeing it was daytime and the sun was high up in the sky.
'Okay, so it looks like it's around noon, maybe a little time past, that's good to know.' Thought Naruto, wanting to have a good idea what time it is for when he returns to the Ring and work on a way to tell the time inside it.
"This question might seem a little strange, but have you heard anything about someone named Orochimaru?" Naruto asked, with Temari raising a brow at him the strange question.
"The Snake Sannin? Not…really, we don't get much news of Missing-Nin that aren't from Suna. But…I have heard some Ninja returning from missions and talking about rumors that he was killed." Replied Temari, as Naruto nodded at this seeing that rumors at least were spreading of Orochimaru's death.
"And how long have these rumors been going on?" Said Naruto, making the blonde girl frown and think for a few moments.
"Like…a little over a week I think." Temari said, remembering when she first heard the rumors.
'Over a week, combined with the three days when Kagerō last saw him, so…at least almost two weeks. Maybe longer depending on the time between meeting Kagerō and Suzumebachi. That's good to know.' Naruto thought, glad to have a better idea at how long it's been.
And he can only imagine Konoha's leadership panicking and trying to figure out where he is, especially since he's not sure if the files on his parents were still in his apartment. Not to mention Satsuki's sudden disappearance, as well.
"Okay, thanks Temari. Now…any ideas what you want to wish for?" Naruto asked, ready to grant any wishes she had.
"Yeah, I do. But those rules you told me, do any of them involve changing a person's personality or I guess…reversing someone's personality to have they've acted before?" Temari said with a hopeful expression, while Naruto frowned before slowly shaking his head.
"No…that wouldn't go against any of the rules. What did you have in mind and who's personality would you want to change?" Questioned Naruto, wary about altering a person's personality, wondering if he'd need to work on twisting the wish if it was anything bad.
Only to see Temari sit down on her cloud with a downcast expression, the Uzumaki now guessing whatever her wish was, it's not nefarious.
"My brother, Gaara. He…he used to be really nice and kind, only wanting to play and connect with other kids and the villagers. But…but everyone has always been scared of him, because…because he's a Jinchūriki." Temari revealed, much to Naruto's shock at hearing this.
"Your brother's…a Jinchūriki?" Naruto asked, not expecting to have encountered another Jinchūriki, or at least the sibling of one.
"Yeah, he has the Ichibi sealed inside of him, it happened before he was even born. Our Tou-san is the Yondaime Kazekage and wanted to seal Shukaku into one of his children. But me and my other brother, Kankurō, weren't compatible with it, but Gaara was, though. One of our Elders, Granny Chiyo, sealed Shukaku into Gaara before he was born, something that lead to our Kaa-san's death." Said Temari, with Naruto's shock growing along with his anger.
"Why would he do that?!" Naruto said, angry that any parent would willingly turn their child into a Jinchūriki, being reminded of how he became a Jinchūriki.
But it's even worse that the Kazekage did it before Gaara was born and ended up killing his and Temari's mother.
"Because the Wind Daimyō's been cutting Suna's budget, instead sending missions to Konoha since they're less expensive. So he wanted to create a Jinchūriki that'd be Suna's ultimate weapon, and Jinchūriki are always related to their villages Kage in some way, ensuring they'd remain loyal. And who'd be more loyal than a Kage's own children." Temari replied, the Uzumaki still being angry.
"That doesn't make it right! Yeah it sucks the Daimyō wasn't supporting Suna like he's supposed to, but if he wanted a Jinchūriki so badly why didn't he seal Shukaku into himself?! Or at least wait until Gaara was born to seal it into him?!" Said Naruto, only feeling angrier at what the Kazekage did, while Temari smiled bitterly a little.
"Yeah…why didn't he." Muttered Temari, having wondered that as well, but knew there's nothing that could be done about it now, even with the Ring.
But that didn't mean she couldn't change other things and make them right.
"When Gaara was old enough, Tou-san began teaching him Ninjutsu to make him strong while leaving him in the care of our Uncle Yashamaru, our Kaa-san's brother and the only person that cared about Gaara. But Gaara…Gaara has this ability to manipulate sand thanks to being Shukaku's Jinchūriki, but it goes beyond that. It's like it has a mind of its own, reacting instantly to any danger to Gaara and lashing out against those that try hurting him, either injuring or killing people. Which doesn't help that everyone's already scared of Gaara for being a Jinchūriki, now he's hated for unintentionally hurting and killing people, at least he originally did it unintentionally." Temari said, muttering the last part, though Naruto still heard it and tensed.
"He…originally did it unintentionally?" Questioned Naruto, with Temari nodding in response.
"It…it was just over a year ago, Tou-san and the Suna Council…they thought Gaara was a failed experiment because he wasn't as strong as they wanted him to be, and he couldn't control his abilities like they wanted. So…they sent an assassin to kill him, Yashamaru was the one they sent." Revealed Temari, making Naruto look at her in shock and horror.
"They sent…his own uncle." Naruto said, not believing anyone would do that.
"Yes. It failed thanks to Gaara's sand protecting him, but he lashed out and fatally injured Yashamaru, but he didn't know it was him at the time because of the mask he wore. Yashamaru then told Gaara he never actually loved him, that he volunteered for the mission and hated Gaara for killing Kaa-san, then he…he tried killing Gaara again with Explosive Tags. It failed, but that changed Gaara and he…he became what Tou-san wanted, a remorseless, unfeeling killer after unleashing Shukaku on the village, only being stopped by Tou-sans Gold Dust. He only cares about himself and kills anyone that gets in his way without hesitation, even threatening to kill me and Kankurō if we annoy him." Temari said, looking down sadly at what her brother had become, while Naruto gulped at hearing all this.
"H-how…how did you learn what happened?" Questioned Naruto, wondering how Temari knew what happened between Gaara and Yashamaru.
"Gaara, he told us, after we asked where Yashamaru was. He didn't care anymore, even saying the only thing he regretted was that he didn't get to personally kill Yashamaru, himself." Replied Temari before looking at Naruto hopefully.
"That's what I want my first wish to be, I want my brother back to the way he was. I wish that Gaara went back to being how he was before Yashamaru tried killing him and that the seal keeping Shukaku locked away is fixed, so that he'll be able to sleep at night. Can you do that?" Temari asked, hoping the wish is related enough that he'll be able to do it all at once rather than use two wishes.
"Granted." Naruto replied instantly while snapping his fingers, making Temari's eyes widen before she smiled joyfully and immediately hugged the whiskered blonde.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Said Temari feeling happier than she has in years, knowing Gaara was back to the way he was and she fully intended to be a better sister to him from now on.
"Glad I could help. And don't forget you still have two more wishes." Naruto said, smiling at how happy Temari is, with the blonde girl nodding and pulling back, excited at what else she was going to wish for.
"Okay! My next wish is this, I wish that Sunagakure was at the center of a giant oasis and that there are dozens of smaller oasis's scattered all across the Land of Wind!" Temari said, now desiring to help her village and knew being in the center of an oasis would really help it.
"Granted." Naruto said, snapping his fingers again before he and Temari both vanished in a swirl of smoke.
When they reappeared, Temari's eyes widened at seeing they were now floating above Suna, both the entire village and the surrounding desert. Before she watched in amazement as a wave of colorful smoke erupted from the center of the village and spread out. The girl simply watching as sand turned into fertile soil as various tropical plants sprouted out across the village and decently sized springs of water appearing within it.
Her amazement and awe only grew as the smoke spread outside the village, with an even greater number of plants appeared from thin air. With large ponds of water appearing along with them, until the smoke stopped a mile or two outside the village. Before Temari noticed other plumes of smoke out across the desert, being able to see smaller oasis's appearing as well in the distance.
"This is…" Said Temari, unable to describe what she's seeing, only that it's beyond anything she could've dreamed of.
"I might've thrown in a few different types of fruit that could grow in the desert too, giving a little something extra." Naruto stated with his smile growing, making Temari smile brightly at him.
"I…I don't even know how I could repay you for this. It's more than anyone's ever done for Suna." Temari said, knowing she now had her brother back and Suna would be able to thrive without worry.
"You have nothing to repay me for Temari, I'm simply glad that I was able to help as much as I can. And if there's anything else, you still have one more wish to use." Replied Naruto, making Temari look down at the Ring.
"I honestly have no idea what else I could wish for." Said Temari, as she helped change Gaara back and her village wouldn't have to worry about any financial problems soon enough.
"Take your time." Naruto said before snapping his fingers and returning them to Temari's room.
'I guess I could wish to become a powerful Kunoichi or a mountain of gold.' Temari thought, snorting at the latter idea, knowing her father would use it to make more Gold Dust.
Though this made Temari's eyes widen at realizing even if she's changed Gaara and helped the village, her father was still the same and would likely try sending more assassins to kill Gaara. And then there's the rest of the villagers who all still feared and hated him as well.
Her first wish would be made useless if something happens that turns Gaara into a killer again.
"I wish that my Tou-san was a better person and that the rest of the village no longer hates or fears Gaara!" Said Temari.
"Granted. All of your wishes have now been fulfilled." Naruto said, snapping his fingers and granting her final wish, much to Temari's relief.
"Tha-" Said Temari, glad that she wouldn't have to worry of Gaara being feared, hated or turned into a weapon, anymore.
Though her eyes widened when Naruto vanished in a swirl of smoke before she looked at the Ring, only to see it disappear from her hand. Temari frowned sadly at this, having wanted to thank Naruto for what he's done and still felt she should repay him for doing what no one else could have ever been able to do.
'Thank you, Naruto Uzumaki.' Temari thought, hoping she'll still get the chance to repay him.
Before she smiled and quickly ran out her room, eager to find Gaara and start being a real sister to him.
*Ring*
Reappearing in the Ring, Naruto was immediately greeted by Yakumo and Kagerō, who both grabbed his arms and pulled him outside.
"Naruto! I think we were able to solve the problem of not being able to tell time in here! Look at this!" Yakumo said eagerly, motioning above the entrance of the palace.
Naruto's eyes widened in surprise when he saw a large clock above the doors, but unlike a regular clock that had three hands and twelve hours. This one only had a single hand and four marks at the top, bottom, left, and right.
"What is that?" Naruto asked, wondering how that's supposed to help them tell the time.
"We started working on it after you saw the position of the sun and how long it's potentially been since you became a Genie. Though it doesn't tell an exact time, instead if a day has passed or not." Replied Kagerō, with Yakumo nodding in agreement.
"Yeah. The symbols on it are for daytime at the top, sunset on the right, nighttime at the bottom, and sunrise on the left." Said Yakumo, surprising Naruto before he smiled at them.
"Good job! That'll definitely be useful to have, and better than just guessing how long it's been. Just one more thing to add…" Naruto said waving his hand, creating a counter underneath the clock that was set to zero.
"…there. Now we'll also keep track of how many days pass from now on, as well." Said Naruto, the greenette and brunette nodded in agreement, pleased they now had a means of telling time.
Before the Uzumaki yawned, making the girls look at him and see he did look tired.
"Maybe it'd be a good time to get some sleep, since a lot has happened and none of us have really rested." Yakumo suggested, despite how none of them seemed physically tired, they could still get mentally tired and need to rest.
"Agreed, it'd be good to get some rest. Especially you, Naruto, you wouldn't want to end up being summoned by someone and not be fully awake." Added Kagerō, with the whiskered Genie nodding in response.
"Don't have to tell me twice." Replied Naruto as they all went inside and returned to their rooms.
With Naruto happily falling down on his bed and going to sleep, eager to get some rest after everything he's seen and learned.
*Mindscape*
Opening his eyes, Naruto blinked in confusion when he saw he was no longer in his room or anywhere in the palace. Instead finding himself standing outside what looked like a traditional temple with a large stone wall surrounding it. Before he frowned as he noticed a few things, making him realize where he was at the moment.
The first being the fox statues decorating the wall and leading up to the entrance, which depicted nine swirling tails in a spiral pattern on it, with fire running along the bottom of the doors.
'This is my mindscape, isn't it. But…how did it change to look like this?' Naruto thought, wondering how his mindscape changed from a sewer into a temple, only for his frown to deepen and think that the Kyūbi did this.
Shaking his head, Naruto walked up to the temple with the doors swinging open, with the Uzumaki sighing at the sight of a giant statue of the Kyūbi roaring and swinging its tails around. Even more so when he looked at the walls and saw carvings in them. All of them showing the Kyūbi either destroying Konoha and other villages, devouring the Shodai Hokage and Madara Uchiha, or being worshipped and feared by humans.
"Pretty sure even the Hokage Monument isn't as big as the fox's ego." Naruto muttered dryly, seeing another carving of the Kyūbi beating up the other Bijū and making them submit to it.
Before he turned his attention towards the temple and walked towards it, wondering what he'd find inside, expecting to either find the cage or probably a throne room if the Kyūbi was able to change the shape of its prison, as well.
"Oi Kyūbi! How did you-" Naruto said, entering the temple, only to freeze at what he saw inside before his entire face turned bright red.
He was right that inside was a throne room, a really massive throne room with wooden pillars one either side of the entrance and more fox statues lining the walls. But what made him stop was at the other end where a throne would reside.
Sitting on a raised wooden dais with steps leading up to it, rather than a traditional throne it instead looked like a giant cushion shaped like a chair and big enough for someone to lay down in. With their currently being someone doing just that.
The person was a woman, an unbelievably and inhumanly beautiful woman, had long red-orange hair that went all the way down to her shapely ass along with a few strands hanging over her face and framing it, fair skin, and crimson red eyes with slit pupils. Along with her having three jagged whisker marks on her cheeks, claws, and fangs pointing out from her lips. With her most noticeable trait being a pair of fox-ears at the side of her head, in the place of human ears.
Though what made Naruto stop and blush, was the fact she's also completely naked!
Showing off her smooth, fair skin, large D-cup, borderline DD-cup, breasts and her bare snatch. With Naruto barely seeing that she also had the Eight Trigrams Seal tattooed on her abdomen.
"Wh-wh-wh-w-w-w-wh-wh-who a-a-ar-ar-ar-ar-ar-are-" Naruto stuttered, having trouble forming words at the sight of the naked and beautiful woman, with the woman smirking as she sat from her laying position.
"Yes, be honored that you get the chance to gaze upon the absolute pinnacle of beauty, I actually almost forgotten how enjoyable it is to leave you humans stuttering messes at the sight of me." Said the woman, with Naruto's eyes widening at her words as his embarrassment slowly vanished.
"Wait…Kyūbi?!" Naruto said in shock and disbelief, while Kyūbi's smirk widened as fox ears appeared on top of her head and nine tails emerged from her tailbone.
"That's right runt. Surprised?" Kyūbi said mockingly, while the Uzumaki still looked at her in shock.
"H-ho-ho-ho-how…why do you look like that?! You're actually a girl?!" Said Naruto, not believing the Kyūbi is really a girl, only for the vixen to roll her eyes.
"No, I'm not, at least not in the sense you humans would call me a woman. This is merely a form I took centuries ago to avoid having to deal with you humans annoying me. And, as I said, I find reducing you all to stuttering fools rather enjoyable. After all, what hope could any human have to ever look this amazing." Said Kyūbi, running a hand along her body, making Naruto blush again as her breasts bounced from the movement.
"And just like this is a form I took; this was once my home and I much prefer it to that cage and sewer. Along with a few add-ons for my own enjoyment." Kyūbi added, looking around with her expression softening a little at seeing her old temple once again, even if it wasn't the real one.
"So…so you did change my mindscape? How?" Naruto asked, causing the Bijū to smirk wickedly and hold her hand up, forming a mini twister in her hand.
"It seems you were right before, me being sealed inside you when you became a Djinn proved to be a blessing in disguise. As now…I have magic in addition to Chakra." Said Kyūbi, dispersing the twister and igniting blue flames on each of her fingers.
Making Naruto tense that she may try attacking him, with the vixen rolling her eyes when she noticed his expression.
"Oh relax, if I was going to attack I would've done so by now. Unfortunately, even with magic this fucking seal is still on me!" Kyūbi growled, glaring down at the Eight Trigrams Seal on her stomach, angered and annoyed that she's still trapped.
"R-ri-ri-r-right. Then…why am I here?" Questioned Naruto, relieved she couldn't attack him, but now wondered why he's in his mindscape.
"Consider it me having…contemplated your offer of…trying to get along. I am…willing to offer my…assistance to you…" Said Kyūbi through gritted teeth and looking sick at what she's saying, making Naruto look at her dryly.
"That must've been really hard to say, wasn't it." Naruto stated.
"It was pure agony. But…I have thought it over and being the benevolent being I am, I will offer you my help when it's needed and ensure you don't do anything that will screw us both over even further. Mostly to ensure that when I do regain my freedom, I don't end up being stuck in this Ring or taking your place as a Genie." Kyūbi said, not wanting to take the chance of trading one prison for another when she eventually can break the seal.
"And how do I know this isn't just a trick? The last time we talked, you said you'd kill me because of the wishes I granted for Satsuki and how you couldn't handle the truth being thrown in your face." Naruto said with a frown, causing the vixen to growl before taking a taking a calming breath.
"I am…still peeved, but after contemplating things, I do believe it would be best if we did work together to ensure our chances of survival and lower the risk of a wish being made by someone screwing us over even further. As given what's already happened, you clearly need all the help you can get to survive." Replied Kyūbi, while mentally adding that Naruto did make a rather good point regarding her hatred.
Will to admit that she was projecting her hatred for Madara and the Masked Uchiha, as well as the Sharingan's ability to control her, onto the rest of the Uchiha Clan. But her pride would also never let her admit it out loud, let alone give Naruto the satisfaction of being right.
"Gee, thanks. You truly are so kind to offer your help, oh great Kyūbi." Naruto said sarcastically, making the Bijū smirk proudly.
"I know, and I'm sure I'll think of some way for you to repay me as well. How are you at groveling?" Said Kyūbi with her smirk growing, while Naruto's eye twitched before he left his mindscape.
*Ring*
Opening his eyes again, Naruto was relieved to find himself back in his room, but couldn't help but groan at now having to deal with the Kyūbi.
'I think I preferred the threats of death over this.' Naruto thought.
"Well get used to it, brat! Because I'm going to enjoy every moment of this!" said Kyūbi, giggling madly at the entertainment she'll get, while Naruto could only groan before he felt a tug on his being.
'And now there's this.' Thought Naruto as he vanished in a swirl of smoke, only hoping he's not immediately attacked again.
*Real World*
"Don't attack I'm not an enemy!" Naruto said, holding his hands up to show whoever summoned him he's not a threat.
"If I thought for a second that you were an enemy, you'd be a puddle by now." Stated a female voice, making Naruto flinch before looking at who summoned him, only to blush lightly when he saw his summoner.
They were a tall, slender woman with fair skin, green eyes, and ankle-length, auburn hair styled into a herringbone pattern at the back, a top-knot tied with a dark blue band, and with four bangs at the front. Two bangs are short, with one covering her right eye, and two are long, crossing each other on her bust, just below her chin. She was wearing a long-sleeved, dark blue dress that fell just below the knees. It seems to be closed at the front with a zipper, and is kept open on the front-right side from the waist down. The dress only covers up to the upper part of her arms and the underside of her breasts. Underneath, she wears a mesh armor that covers slightly more of her upper body than her dress. She also wears a skirt in the same color as her dress and, underneath those, mesh leggings reaching down over her knees. Around her waist, she wears a belt with a pouch attached to the back on the left along with high-heeled sandals, shin-guards reaching up over her knees, dark blue nail polish on her fingers and toes, and purple lipstick.
"Now…why don't you tell me who you are and where you came from, before I change my mind about melting you." Said the woman with a sweet and sly smile, the whiskered Genie shivered at the sight of it.
"R-ri-right! U-um, I'm Naruto's Uzumaki, the Genie of the Ring. Ask and I shall I grant three wishes. But I can't resurrect those who have been dead for more than year or have died of natural cause, grant power greater than that of the gods of the realm, make people fall in love, time travel, wish for more wishes or kill anyone who is truly innocent, such as young children, infants, or the rare good and honest people." Naruto said, with the woman raising a brow at the claim before glancing at the Ring she'd spotted while out on her patrol.
"A wish-granting Genie? If you're going to lie at least try making it convin…cing…" Said the woman, only to trail off in surprise when Naruto floated up into the air until they were eye level.
"Believe me, now?" Naruto asked with a smirk while the woman slowly backed away, still looking at him in surprise before shaking her head.
"Okay…Genie, then. Let's say I believe you, what's the catch?" The woman asked, doubting that he'd just magically grant her any three wishes without anything in return.
"No catch, you just wish for whatever you want and I'll grant it. No tricks, lies, or payment needed, you just ask and I'll do it. But if you could tell me your name and where we are, that'd work as payment if you don't believe me." Replied Naruto, with the woman frowning at this.
"…Mei Terumi and you're in the Land of Water." Introduced Mei, still not entirely convinced he'd grant her wishes for free.
"Alright Mei, what is it you would wish for?" Naruto asked, making the redhead scoff and cross her arms under her bust.
"I'd wish for more than enough funds, resources, and support for the Bloodline Rebels to take back Kirigakure." Mei said, waiting to see what he'll ask for in return.
"Granted." Said Naruto snapping his fingers, with Mei then hearing a crackling sound coming her radio, making her pull it out and put it to her ear.
"What is it, Ao?" Said Mei, only for her eyes to widen in shock and disbelief before she slowly turned to Naruto.
"Good news, I take it." Naruto stated, pleased that any doubt she had was wiped away.
"Yes…very good news. It seems like all the villages and nations we sent messages to requesting help…have all responded that they'd be sending any help and assistance they can." Mei said in disbelief, given the fact all the messages they'd sent before had either been rejected or even ignored.
But now all of a sudden, they'll be getting the help they need to finally deal with Yagura and take back Kirigakure.
'But why stop there?' Mei thought eagerly, seeing a way to end the civil war in an instant.
"My next wish is for the Yondaime Mizukage Yagura Karatachi and all his elite followers to be severely weakened." Said Mei, knowing this way defeating Yagura would be much easier.
While she'd like to wish for them all to simply drop dead and not risk the chance of another battle, she'd rather not risk his remaining followers trying to regroup. Or try painting the rebels in an even worse light by claiming they were responsible. Which wouldn't be inaccurate, but defeating them on the battlefield would look better for them.
"Granted." Said Naruto, snapping his fingers, making Mei smile in pleasure, looking forward to how much faster the civil war will be ending.
"And for my final wish, I want the Land of Water to be restored to what it once was before the civil war began, with as many innocent people that died in the Bloodline Purges being revived within the Rebellion's borders." Said Mei, knowing with that it'll be much smoother to work on moving past Kiri's reputation as "The Bloody Mist Village" while keeping those who were revived safe.
"Granted. All three of your wishes have now been fulfilled." Naruto said, snapping his fingers again, with the redhead feeling a sense of relief that what would have taken years will now hopefully be completed in a matter of a few days or weeks.
"And you have my utmost gratitude. But would it be possible for you to-" Mei said, hoping for the chance she could take the Ring with her and pass it around some of her allies and get more wishes to further improve Kiri and the Land of Water.
But before she could finish, the Uzumaki vanished in a swirl of smoke as he returned to the Ring, making Mei's eyes widen before looked at the Ring. Only to mentally cursed when disappeared from her hand.
'Damn! We finally get some good luck only for it to run out just as quickly!' Mei thought, annoyed that the Ring just teleported away once all her wishes were used.
Sighing at losing such an incredible advantage, Mei shook her head before quickly making her way back to the Rebellion's base. While they may not have a Genie on their side, they'll soon be getting plenty more allies to retake Kiri.
*Ring*
Appearing back in his room, Naruto was surprised to find Yakumo and Kagerō within and sitting on his bed.
"I thought you two were sleeping." Naruto said, going over and sitting beside them.
"We were, but woke up to see screens in our room of you having been summoned. Who was it this time?" Yakumo asked, having not seen the entire thing and only the last two wishes being granted.
"I was in the Land of Water and was summoned by a woman named Mei Terumi. She wanted me to grant her wishes to help end a war or something." Replied Naruto, surprising Yakumo.
"The Bloodline Civil War in Kirigakure. It started when the Yondaime Mizukage Yagura began persecuting and killing anyone with Kekkei Genkai. With everyone who sided with him either hating or fearing those with Kekkei Genkai, believing they're monsters. Mei Terumi is one of the leaders of the rebels fighting against Yagura to free Kiri. It also made the Land of Water a good recruiting ground for Orochimaru to recruit the few Kekkei Genkai users that tried hiding or were on the run." Explained Kagerō, having heard of the civil war going on in Kiri, with Naruto and Yakumo looking at her with wide eyes.
"Really?" Said Yakumo, with the greenette nodding in response.
"Yes. In fact, one of Orochimaru's strongest followers came from the Kaguya Clan, Kimimaro Kaguya. He's actually the one who was sent to recruit the Fūma Clan." Kagerō replied, with the Uzumaki looking worried at this.
"Would we have to worry about any of Orochimaru's followers coming after us?" Naruto asked, concerned at the chance any of the Snake Sannin's followers would want to avenge him.
"Unlikely. Most were only loyal out of fear, the rest were experiments and only a few were fanatically loyal, but they'd have no way of knowing how Orochimaru died at all. They'd be more likely to think one of the Hidden Villages killed him or it was the result of an experiment gone wrong." Said Kagerō, much to Naruto's relief.
"That's good at least." Said Naruto, glad he wouldn't have to worry about anyone trying to find him to avenge anyone he helps directly or indirectly kill, even worse if they force him to grant them their wishes, whatever they'd be.
"It's actually kind of strange when you think about it." Yakumo suddenly said, getting Naruto's and Kagerō's attention.
"What's strange?" Kagerō asked.
"Just the people who happen to find the Ring. First Naruto, who's the son of two powerful Ninja, one being a Kage and the other a Jinchūriki. Then the former apprentice of Orochimaru, then me a Clan Heiress and then Satsuki Uchiha. After that it's found by you, Kagerō, a member of the Fūma Clan and a powerful member at that. Now we have a Kamizuru Clan Leader, the daughter of the Kazekage, and now a leader of rebels fighting to free their village. It just seems like the Ring is being found by a lot of important people, people that also happen to need help that no one but a Genie could grant. Strange and ironic, don't you think." Yakumo said in amusement, while Naruto and Kagerō thought it over and realized she was right.
"Huh…maybe the Ring just magically goes to those that need it the most." Said Naruto with a shrug, not understanding how the magic works or if he's just getting really lucky in who finds the Ring.
"Even more so if you take into account, it's now been found by at least one person from four of the Five Great Nations. Maybe that means the Land of Lightning is next." Stated Kagerō with her lips twitching up in amusement.
"I doubt that'll happen, since I did go to the Land of Sound after Konoha. I could even end up on a different continent, instead." Naruto said, not expecting to end up in the Land of Lightning.
"You never know." Said Yakumo, smiling in amusement, finding it funny if the next location is the Land of Lightning.
Before Naruto could respond, he felt the familiar pull of being summoned.
"Well now you'll both see where we ended up. And I'm betting it's one of the Minor Villages or Nations." Naruto said with a smirk as he vanished in a swirl of smoke, with both girls looking at each other before turning to the screen when it appeared.
*Real World*
Appearing out of the Ring, Naruto was relieved when he wasn't immediately attacked or threatened by whoever summoned him. Before looking at his surroundings, mentally laughing when he saw he was in a forest, though not one he recognized around Konoha.
'Ha! Not in the Land of Lightning!' Thought Naruto as he looked to who summoned him, only to blush at the sight
It was a young, tall, fair-skinned woman with a curvaceous figure and a stoic, aloof expression on her face. She has blue eyes and straight, shoulder-length blonde hair cut in an asymmetrical bob style. She wore a very low-cut outfit which displays her sizeable cleavage with mesh armor underneath, a short skirt and red hand guards, high boots, and what appears to be a modified flak jacket that covers her stomach only, similar to a girdle. She also carries a tantō strapped horizontally to her lower back.
'Why is it always girls?!' Naruto thought wondering why he seemed to only be found by attractive girls and women.
"Awww, how sweet, I'm sure your pets will like that you find them attractive." Kyūbi cooed mockingly, making Naruto shake his head and look at his new summoner who only regarded him with a raised brow.
"Uh…if you don't mind me asking, who are you and where are we?" Naruto asked, wanting to find out where he was and her name.
"…Samui, a Jōnin of Kumogakure. And we're currently in a training ground not far from the village. Now why don't you tell me who you are? And what exactly this thing is?" Samui said holding up the Ring, while Naruto paused.
'…Damnit!' Shouted Naruto mentally, annoyed that he is actually in the Land of Lightning, knowing Yakumo and Kagerō were going to enjoy this when he goes back.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, the Genie of the Ring. Ask and I shall I grant three wishes. But I can't resurrect those who have been dead for more than year or have died of natural cause, grant power greater than that of the gods of the realm, make people fall in love, time travel, wish for more wishes or kill anyone who is truly innocent, such as young children, infants, or the rare good and honest people." Naruto said dully, annoyed that he's now had a master from all of the Five Great Nations.
While Samui raised a brow at his claim of being a Genie and would grant her three wishes, before groaning and rubbing her back when it began aching.
"Uh…are you alright?" Questioned Naruto, seeing that she looked to be in pain.
"Not really. It's not exactly easy having a chest this big and not get back pains from it." Said Samui, looking at her large breasts in mild annoyance that they had to start growing early and get so big.
"R-ri-right." Naruto said, blushing lightly as he glanced at her chest before quickly looking away, while the Kunoichi sighed.
"Alright, look kid, I'm not really in the mood for whatever joke this is supposed to be and would like to get back to my training. But, say I believe you're telling the truth then…I don't know, I wish you could get rid of this back pain and make sure it doesn't come back." Samui said, wanting to get this joke over with and then return to her training.
"Granted." Said Naruto snapping his fingers, causing Samui's eyes to widen a little in surprise, before actually moaning in satisfaction as the pain her back completely disappeared.
"Oh…man…I actually forgot what it felt like to not be constantly aching all the time. It's really cool to move more freely again." Said Samui in relief and amazement, not even feeling the slightest sting in her back before looking at Naruto.
"So you were actually telling the truth." Samui stated, with the whiskered Genie nodding in response.
"Yeah, and you have two wishes left. So be careful what you wish for next." Naruto said holding two fingers up, making the busty blonde frown in thought.
'Two actual wishes, it'd still be three if I hadn't used the first one. Not that I'm regretting not having to deal with that pain, anymore.' Thought Samui, knowing that'd be the only personal wish she'd want granted, being pretty content about everything else in her life at the moment.
Which means she could use the other two wishes to help her village.
"Okay…my next wish is…I wish for Kumo to have their own branch of the Hyūga Clan and Chinoike Clan. Along with the knowledge of how to use their respective Dōjutsu." Said Samui, seeing a chance for Kumo to finally gain the Byakugan, along with getting the Ketsuryūgan after the Chinoike Clan had ran out of the Land of Lightning during the Warring Clans Era.
Naruto frowned at the wish, honestly unsure if it'd be a good idea to do something like that, to suddenly give a bunch of random people two Kekkei Genkai. And he'd be lying if he said he really didn't want to do anything to help Kumo after they tried kidnapping his mother.
Regardless of how he feels for her to give in so easily to him becoming a Jinchūriki, Naruto still loved his mother as she did at least try to stop his father from sealing the Kyūbi in him. While learning how Kumo tried kidnapping her when she had just become a Genin, it did give him a strong dislike for Kumo.
So he wasn't sure he wanted to just hand them two Kekkei Genkai after what they tried doing, and who knows what else.
'I hate this, but Suzumebachi's third wish was worse.' Thought Naruto, really not liking granting a wish like this one.
"Granted." Naruto said snapping his fingers, with Samui suddenly grunting in pain and bringing a hand up to her eyes, unaware how changed for a moment with the sclera turned blood red, the iris a dark burgundy, and the pupil turning into bar-shaped and purple in color, before they changed back to their icy blue color.
"What the hell was that?" Samui asked when the pain in her eyes faded, narrowing them at the Uzumaki.
"You wished for Kumo to have a Hyūga and Chinoike Clans, I can't just make a bunch of random people appear out of thin air with Kekkei Genkai. So I just turned a random number of people in Kumo into Hyūga or Chinoike, I guess you just got lucky in being one of them. And the knowledge of how to use their Kekkei Genkai can be found in your room, wherever that is." Said Naruto, surprising Samui that she now had a Kekkei Genkai.
"Oh…cool." Samui said, not expecting it to happen that way but wasn't going to complain at having another skill to use in battle.
"Yeah, and your third wish now?" Naruto asked, wanting to get this over with.
"Right. My last wish is actually a pretty big one. I wish that Kumogakure's reputation was never tarnished by acts of treachery, betrayal, or kidnappings." Said Samui, desiring to give her village a fresh start and make it better than how people see it.
'Oh come on?!' Thought Naruto, fighting the urge to scowl that now he had to wipe away Kumo's sins and make them better.
Giving Kumo two free Kekkei Genkai was one thing he can hardly tolerate, but there's no way he's basically giving them a clean slate.
"Anything specific in mind?" Naruto asked while trying to remain calm and think of any loopholes.
"A few, like the Gold and Silver Brothers being stopped before they can attempt their coup, the Hyūga Affair, and I remember a few mentions about an attempted kidnapping from Konoha before the Third Shinobi World War." Samui said with a frown, not really liking the reputation her village has gained going back to when it was first founded.
'Yeah, when you tried kidnapping my Kaa-san!' Thought Naruto, feeling the urge to grant her wish by making it so Kumo never existed at all.
That way their terrible reputation would be gone just like she wanted, along with the entire village itself.
"Do it! Imagine how things will go by wiping away an entire Hidden Village! Or even better, make it so they were all just wiped out during a war!" Said Kyūbi eagerly, having her own anger towards Kumo, more specifically the Gold and Silver Brothers for eating her flesh.
'Tempting, but…I think I have a better idea. She wants to give her village a new and better reputation, then they'll need new and better leaders.' Naruto thought while smirking.
"Granted." Said Naruto snapping his fingers, which seemed to echo across the entirety of the Land of Lightning as history itself began being rewritten by his wish.
Before a ring of smoke appeared in front of Naruto and Samui, with it beginning to show various events happening throughout history. Watching as the Gold and Silver Brothers attempted coup was changed to them having been killed by the Kyūbi after she ate them. Resulting in the Nidaime Hokage shaking hands with the Nidaime Raikage, who changed from a man into a tanned-skinned woman with green hair.
Naruto scowled lightly as it showed his mother being kidnapped before the Kumo Ninja were changed into Kiri Ninja, who were still stopped by his father. But he did feel some vindication as the Sandaime Raikage also changed, becoming a dark-skinned woman with blonde hair. Before then seeing the future Yondaime Raikage turning into a dark-skinned woman with purple hair.
He also watched as Kumo didn't break the peace treaty between all the villages to cut back on their military budget and reduce the size of their forces. Enjoying how Kumo's own military strength was no longer the strongest, as they didn't continue amassing power.
Finally the Hyūga Affair faded away, with Konoha and Kumo forming an actual peace treaty, with the new Yondaime Raikage and Hokage shaking hands.
"HA! That I can accept, I should've chewed those damn humans before swallowing them!" Said Kyūbi,pleased at the sight of the new timeline having her kill the Gold and Silver Brothers this time.
'You still remember what originally happened?' Naruto thought, having expected their memories would be overwritten with the new timeline.
"Of course I do, so do you and likely those pets you have in the Ring. As we basically exist outside of the flow of time now after you became a Genie and they became bonded to you, leaving us unaffected by any changes made to history." Kyūbi replied, with Naruto nodding slowly at this before looking at Samui.
"Random question, but who're the Nidaime, Sandaime, and Yondaime Raikage's?" Naruto asked, curious of who took their places, while Samui looked at him with a raised brow.
"You don't know? The Nidaime Raikage is Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck, she helped forge the original treaty between Kumo and Konoha with the Nidaime Hokage. The Sandaime Raikage is Tier Harribel, who's considered the strongest Raikage with her skill in Kenjutsu and being the only Raikage to use Water Style Ninjutsu. And the Yondaime Raikage is Yoruichi Shihōin, the fastest Ninja in the world after the Yellow Flash died, she helped make the next treaty Konoha after exposing a plot by some of Kumo's Council members that were planning to kidnap the Hyūga Heiress, with even the former Head Ninja being part of it." Samui explained as the Uzumaki nodded with a smirk.
"Thanks for the information. I'm sure Kumo is in safe and better hands." Said Naruto before disappearing a swirl of smoke and returning to the Ring.
Samui frowned in confusion at his strange wording before looking at the Ring only to see it vanish from her hand, making the Kunoichi sigh before shrugging.
'Still cool that Kumo has two new Kekkei Genkai. I'm sure Yoruichi-sama will like hearing this.' Samui thought before making her way back to the village, unaware of just how much it's changed or remembering what it once was.
So, what did you think, good. Yep we see Naruto, Kagerō, and Yakumo bonding some more in the Ring after showing Kagerō around, before Naruto's summoned once more, with his new master being Suzumebachi in Iwagakure. With her being less than friendly after Naruto appears, even more so at how similar he looks to the Yellow Flash, even being able to figure out who he is thanks to his appearance and name.
Before we see Suzumebachi's wishes being to restore the Kamizuru Clans reputation, recover her grandfathers scroll of Forbidden Techniques along with her clans legendary weapon (the Shikai form of Suzumebachi from Bleach), and to have all the secrets, knowledge, and summons of the Aburame Clan. The latter making Naruto realize that not everyone who finds the Ring will have good intentions and instead use the wishes for their own gain or do something bad.
Then we see Naruto's next master is Temari, who uses her wishes to turn Gaara back to the way he was before Yashamaru tried killing him, placing Suna in the center of a massive oasis, and making her father a better person while the rest of the village no longer fears or hates Gaara. While we also learn how much more time has passed in between Naruto being summoned, along with them now having a way to tell time in the Ring.
Next we see Naruto meeting Kyūbi again, who's now taken a female form and discovered she does indeed have magic, but is still sealed away. With her also now being willing to help Naruto after having time to think over his offer and would prefer not risking taking his place in the Ring should something happen to him.
With Naruto then being summoned by his next master, Mei Terumi, who uses her own wishes to get support for the rebels, weaken Yagura and his elite followers, and restore the Land of Water to what it was before the civil war. Along with having Yakumo and Kagerō poking fun at how all the masters Naruto has are important people and coming from the Five Great Nations. While Naruto thinks it's either the magic in the Ring taking him to those who need it, or just getting lucky.
Finally we have Samui as the next master, much to Naruto's annoyance at having gone to all of the Major Hidden Villages. With her first wish being to get rid of her back pains from her growing bust, only for her next wish to have Kumo get their own Hyūga and Chinoike Clans, something Naruto reluctantly grants, not liking helping Kumo after they tried kidnapping his mother.
Only for him to twist Samui's next wish to remove Kumo's bad reputation, doing it in a way that leads to new Raikage's being put in place and weakening their military strength, as they didn't break the peace treaty between villages to reduce their military power. While Kiri Ninja are the ones that try kidnapping Kushina (having been put under the real Madara's control), and the Hyūga Affair is erased, making Konoha and Kumo official allies.
With it also showing Naruto and Kyūbi retain their memories due to existing outside the normal flow of time after he became a Genie, while everyone else's memories have been altered to fit the new history. So, for those that like the story, thanks for your support. For those that don't or at least don't like the direction taken, you're more than welcomed to drop the story. But thanks for giving the story a chance anyway.
