"Summons Talking"

Chapter 19:

Naruto walked through the hallway leading to the meeting room, where his blood clone and Tayuya are waiting for him.

Just five minutes ago, Naruto has finished his talk with the Great Red, and after he was able to convince the True Dragon, that all he wants is to return the Uzumaki Clan to their greatness, the Dragon God told him about what's inside of the secret chamber.

It's unnecessary to say that, Naruto couldn't believe that Kouen and Mila Uzumaki, -who, by the way, turned out to be his grandparents- were not only able to come up with something like that chamber but to actually pull it off as well. They truly were brilliant when it comes to Fuinjutsu.

Anyway, after the Great Red revealed about the room, and that Kouen and Mila never actually left any way to enter into it, the great dragon left back to his homeland, while Naruto stayed behind to think about how he should proceed with his plans and how to enter into that room.

Yes, he could just leave it as it is, and wait for another 20 years for the seals inside of the chamber to be released, but he doesn't feel like he can wait that long to be able to access to what's inside, and he doubts that even his infinite patience will stop him from blowing up the wall so he can enter into the room.

As he was walking, Naruto was so into thinking that he never noticed a person walk from just around the corner, and the two bumped into each other.

Naruto was quite a bit bigger than the other person, so once they bumped into each other, the girl with orange hair fell backwards, with Naruto falling right on top of her.

Naruto laid on top of the girl, with their lips less than an inch from each other, and with both looking at each other's eyes.

They stayed like that for about 10 seconds, before the girl finally realized the position she was in, and with whom, which made her blush madly. Seeing this, and since he recognized the girl, Naruto smiled, though he didn't even move an inch.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Sasame Fūma," Naruto said with a big smile on his face? "You sure have grown a lot since the last time I saw you. Filled out quite nicely as well. I'm so tempted to kiss you right here and now," Naruto's words were doing wonders to Sasame's heart, stomach and lower regions, as she felt throbbing and fluttering, "what do you say, Sasame my dear? Should I give you a kiss?"

Now normally, Naruto isn't interested in in any sort of relationship, nor sex for that matter, but for some reason, he just couldn't help himself with Sasame and had to play with her for a little.

Sasame wanted to say something, she really did, but words just didn't seem to want to leave her lips, her beautifully full lips, which are just calling to be bruised from kissing.

Sasame wanted to say yes, she wanted to yell, 'YES, KISS ME', but the words just didn't come out.

While she was trying to let out her desires, Naruto moved his lips over her lips, her cheek and even her ears, but didn't actually kiss her.

Finally, Naruto blew a small breath into Sasame's left ear, making her shiver in delight, and causing her pussy to leek, before he suddenly stood up from her, leaving her to lie on the floor with wide eyes and with dump panties.

"Maybe next time," Naruto suddenly said, as he extended his right arm, and offering it to her to help her stand up.

Sasame extended her own arm, shakily, and grabbed Naruto's, before she lifted herself of the floor, and back on her shaky legs.

Naruto looked at Sasame and couldn't help but form a small smirk on his face. He wasn't joking earlier when he said that she has grown quite a lot, and has become very beautiful… not that she wasn't beautiful before, but the last time he saw her, she was just a 13 year-old girl, and now she is a very beautiful 16 year-old teenager. (I won't describe her. Look at the picture, Sasame Fūma the last: by nikky93, on Deviantart).

"L-Lord Alessandro," Sasame said. "I-I'm s-sorry. I wasn't l-looking where I was going."

Naruto rose his eyebrows at her calling him Lord, and was about to ask her about that, when he suddenly recalled a memory from his blood clone, where he actually liked being called Lord, and it stuck like that. 'That guy,' Naruto thought in his head. 'He seems more like Szayelaporro then he is me.'

"You don't have to call me, Lord," Naruto said to Sasame, who looked at him in confusion. "My blood clone might have liked that, but I don't care about that stuff. Just call me, Alessandro, and I'll be ok with that."

Sasame blushed at Naruto allowing her to call him by his name, not knowing that Alessandro is not his name. She eventually nodded, and Naruto smiled at her.

"Now tell me, why were you in the office?" Naruto asked.

"Oh, I just went there to inform Lord Starrk about something my division just discovered." Sasame said.

Naruto frowned, and searched his memories to see, what division Sasame was talking about. It didn't take him long to find the memory where his blood clone created a division whose only job is to spy on other EN and inform him of what's going on in those countries.

He will admit to himself that the blood clone came up with a good idea, and was about to say that he will congratulate him for that, but then he remembered that the idiot almost made people call him Lord Starrk. 'Ridiculous.' Naruto thought.

"I see," he said. "Well then, I guess I'll just ask him and Tayuya about it, while you can return to your job."

Sasame nodded, and turned to leave, but she head Naruto say. "Good job, Sasame. Keep it up, and I might have something for you if you keep proving yourself."

The grin on Naruto's face was all that Sasame needed to see to realize what Naruto was talking about, and her face burned at the images. She run out of the hallway as fast as her legs could carry her, which was quite fast, Naruto noticed, while wearing a big smirk on his face. "It's so good to be able to do that to beautiful woman and girls," he said to himself. "I'm so glad to be me." He then continued on the way to the office, while thinking that just like his blood clone, he might have a very high opinion of himself.

Naruto entered into the office just 10 seconds later, without even bothering to knock, since… well it was basically his office, and he knew that his blood clone and Tayuya were waiting for him.

"What the hell was that roar earlier!?" Tayuya shouted as soon as she saw him pass through the door.

Naruto went and set on the sofa which was on one side of the room, and looked at his blood clone and Tayuya, who were seating behind the desk (blood clone), and in front of the desk (Tayuya). "That was the boss summon of the Dragon Clan." Naruto said, getting wide-eyed look from Tayuya, while the blood clone only rose his eyebrows.

"Whatever that thing is," the blood clone spoke. "It's almost as powerful as we are."

Naruto nodded at his blood clones words. "Yeah," he said. "I'd say that at his full power, the Great Red is at about 80% of my full power, which is a lot of power. I honestly didn't think that there would be anyone in this world with that much power."

The blood clone nodded, while Tayuya stared at the two with an empty look on her face. She didn't know the full extent of Naruto's power, so she didn't know how powerful he is and how powerful the dragon god is.

"I was able to find out what's inside of that chamber down in the vault," Naruto said, drawing the attention of his blood clone and Tayuya.

"So the Dragons did know." The blood clone stated.

Naruto nodded. "Several higher level did," he said. "It took me a while to convince him to tell me, as they have all made a promise to Kouen and Mila Uzumaki, that they will never reveal to anyone about that chamber and its contents."

"Who are they?" Tayuya asked, referring to Kouen and Mila.

"They are my grandparents," Naruto said, much to Tayuya's shock. Even the blood clone was surprised. "They are also the ones who made all those seals down there, and who sealed that chamber so that no one will ever be able to enter. The truth is, short of me breaking that wall… there is no other way to enter inside, and there won't be for another 20 years."

"Why 20 years?" Blood clone asked.

"When they made that chamber and the seal guarding it, they drew the seals on the inside of the chamber, which means that it can only be accessed from the inside," Naruto explained. "They also made it, so that the seal will last for exactly, 50 years since the day it was activated. Once the 50 years are over, the seal will be released and the contents of the vault will be released. And since it has been 30 years since the war and since the seal was activated, that leaves 20 more years, until the seal is released."

"I see," the blood clone said, while Tayuya asked. "But what was so important that it would need that much protection? And why did they set the seal to be released in exactly 50 years? I mean, why not 40, or 60? Why exactly 50 years?"

Naruto shock his head. "The number of years itself isn't that important," he said. "Kouen and Mila thought that if what's inside of the vault was released to soon after the war, it would be no good. But, they thought that 50 years from then, almost no one will remember the Uzumaki Clan, and so once the contents are released, they will be safe."

Tayuya and the Blood Clone looked at Naruto with confusion on their face, and with slightly narrowed eyes. "You're making it sound that there are living people inside of that chamber." Tayuya said and started to chuckle slightly at that thought. That would be ridiculous, right?

She chuckled for about 10 seconds, until she noticed that Naruto wasn't laughing nor denying her words. The blood clone just looked the Naruto with interest on his face, while Naruto himself had serious look on his own face.

"Oh you've got to be kidding me!" Tayuya shouted.

"You hit the nail right in the head." Naruto said.

"B-But how is t-that possible?" Tayuya stuttered.

Naruto sighed. "Kouen and Mila saved as many children as they could from all the clans that lived in the Land of Whirlpools and not just Uzumaki, and then led them down into the chamber, where Kouen had all of them sealed inside of the crystals created by his Crystal Release bloodline. The crystals were then covered in seals, which makes everyone inside of the crystals, basically in a stasis," Naruto explained to the wide-eyes Tayuya and slightly shocked blood clone. "After all of those kids were sealed, Kouen sealed Mila as well, as he thought that all those kids will need someone to take care of them once the seal is released after 50 years' time.

"Kouen then informed the dragons about what was done, and went back to war, as at the time, he was the Third Uzukage?"

Tayuya went silent after Naruto's explanation, and was thinking about everything she has just learned.

The blood clone on the other hand, had another question. "How did the Uzumaki Clan lose when they had a contract with Dragons," he asked? "With that much fire power, there is no way they would have been almost exterminated."

"What was known about the war, is that, Stone, Mist and Cloud, allied, in order to take out the Uzumaki Clan, right," Naruto said, and the blood clone and Tayuya nodded. "What is not know is that Leaf betrayed the Uzumaki Clan. They have basically told the other three nations on how and where to attack, and were also responsible for taking out some defenses from the inside.

"Under the pretense of the joint training program between the two villages, there were some Leaf Shinobi in the Whirlpool, which used that time to make a barrier around the entire island. That barrier, once activated, would prevent ANYONE from summoning anything except the lowest level summons. Once the war started, the barrier was raised by the Leaf Shinobi, who then fled, and left the Whirlpool to fall.

"The barrier stopped both sides from summoning anything, but that was not a problem with the attacking forces, as they knew from the start that they won't be able to rely on any summoning animals, but it was a big problem for the Uzumaki, as they were faced against the overwhelming forces, and weren't able to summon anything above few months old summons, which would be useless in battle.

"Once he sealed the children and his wife in the chamber, Kouen summoned the biggest and the oldest dragon the barrier allowed, and explained to it what happened and what he left in the chamber, along with the fact that their summoning contract will stay in the vault for the next 50 years, until the stasis seal is released and Mila and the children are free again."

"I see," the blood clone said after Naruto finished with the explanations.

"But why did Leaf betray Whirlpool like that," Tayuya shouted. Naruto already told her once that the Leaf betrayed the Whirlpool, so she knew that, but Naruto didn't know all the details up until now, so neither did she. "They were allies. So why sell them out?"

Naruto looked at Tayuya and saw rage in her eyes. He couldn't really blame her, nor could he tell her to calm down, as he himself, who is much better at keeping his emotions in check, is boiling with anger and wishes to go to Konoha and burn it to the ground. Fortunately, he was able to control his emotions very well, and decided to wait for a little while longer. The time will come for Konoha to fall, and when that happens, he will be the happiest being in the world.

"That is unknown," Naruto said. "Kouen didn't know why Leaf would sell them out, especially since he sent his daughter there, few weeks before the downfall of Whirlpool. He thought that the relationship between the villages is strong, and that no side would betray the alliance which went back for decades. He was wrong, and he paid that price with his life, and the lives of many of the residents of the Land of Whirlpool's."

"Do you have any suggestion as to, why they did it?" Tayuya asked.

"It could be many reasons," Naruto said. "The Land of Whirlpools was very strong. The Uzumaki Clan was the strongest Clan in the EN at that point, and there was nothing Uzumaki couldn't do with the Fuinjutsu, as we have already learned. There was also the fact that only Uzumaki can hold Kyūbi inside them, which might have made Leaf desire to control the number of Uzumaki in the world. With my mother there, they had a new jinchūriki, and then one day, my mother would have a child, which would be able to hold Kyūbi.

"They knew that not all of the Uzumaki would die, and knew that there will be a number of the all over the EN after that war, so if it was necessary, they could always find one or two and bring them to the village, to become new jinchūriki, or to pair with my mother's descendants, once the Uzumaki blood becomes to diluted in them.

"So, as I said. There are many reasons for the betrayal, and I can keep coming with them for a while."

A full minute of silence later. "What now," the blood clone asked? "What do you plan to do?"

Naruto sighed. "We are going to focus on the construction of the country, for now," he said, getting raised eyebrows from the blood clone and Tayuya. "The construction of the country, finding new people to come here to live, and finally, take-over of the EN. Those are the priorities… probably in that order as well.

"As for Mila and the children, well, they are safe down there, so we can leave them for now."

"Are you going to wait for that seal to vanish in 20 years, or are you going to find another way into the chamber to release them earlier?" Tayuya asked.

"Actually," Naruto smirked. "I already have a way to enter in there." This surprised the other two, as this was news to them.

"How?" Blood clone asked, and the answer he got, made him go wide-eyed.

"What's that," Tayuya said after she heard the word Naruto said?

"It's a special power one of my soul pieces had while he was an Espada," Naruto said. "With that power, I can take down that wall and not damage anything inside. I could have done that on that first wall on the stairs, but I completely forgot about it."

"Yeah," the blood clone nodded his head. "I didn't remember about that power either, and it's one of the major powers we have. We could have got to the vault two years ago if we just remembered about that power."

"Oh well," Naruto shrugged. "At least we learned Fuinjutsu, so we can't say it was a waste of time."

The blood clone agreed.

"Ok," Tayuya said, wanting to ask more about the power Naruto mentioned, but decided to do that another time. "If you can do it, they why not do it now, and release them all?"

"I could do that," Naruto said. "But, I think it would be better to release them from the stasis, after, we build the country and finish everything else. If we release them now, they might be in danger down the road, and the country simply doesn't have enough houses built to accommodate them all. On top of that, there is no academy nor a school of any kind for all those kids to attend.

"The Great Red didn't know how many children there are down there, only that there is a lot of them, so as I said, It's better to prepare everything, and once everything is finished, I can release them. It shouldn't take longer than another year or two, right?"

The blood clone and Tayuya thought about it for a minute and nodded. "Yeah," Tayuya said. "I think that a year or two should be enough to finish everything, especially now that we have access to the vault, and we are constantly getting money from those gold mines you acquired."

"I agree," the blood clone said. "And if you create few more blood clones and send them to conquer, then it will be finished even faster."

Naruto shock his head. "I doubt I'll be making any more blood clones," he said. "I think that the ones who are already created are enough, and they can do the conquering with no problem. Grimmjow and Nnoitora are already at it in the eastern EN, while Tier has taken over the Land of Sea, and I plan for her to take over all the islands and lands in the south EN, along with the Land of Water. She will be in charge of those nations after as their daimyo."

"What about the others?" Tayuya asked.

"Well, once all of the eastern lands are taken over, I plan to leave Grimmjow to take care of them, as it seems that Shion has taken quite a liking at him, and the two of them would be perfect to lead Eastern EN," Naruto said. "Tier is to the south. I'll let Nnoitora led the northern EN, which will be the Lands of Lightning, Snow, and maybe few others.

"That leaves Starrk and Ulquiorra. I'll probably leave them to watch over the Lands of Earth and Wind, along with all the smaller countries in the western EN. You," Naruto looked at the blood clone in front of himself, "will be taking care of the Land of Fire and the countries around it, while I will stay here, as the Land of Whirlpools will be where the capitol of the empire will be."

Tayuya nodded, as Naruto's plan seems reasonable.

"Now, tell me why was Sasame here," Naruto asked? "She mentioned some report. Did something happened?"

"Actually," the blood clone started. "Gaara was attacked by the Akatsuki and kidnapped."

"I see," Naruto said, and lowered his gaze downward, thinking about what to do.

"What do you plan to do?" Tayuya asked.

"I don't know," Naruto said. "Gaara became a good friend, and was on my side after the execution. He even broke the alliance with the Leaf because of what they did to me, and because of that, I feel like I own him. Then again, if he dies, then I won't have a single problem taking over the Land of Wind and the Sand Village, as he and his siblings are the only thing which would make me rethink about taking over that country."

"If you tell him your plan, do you think he would be against it?" Tayuya asked.

"Most likely," Naruto said. "Gaara has decided to guard his village and its people after his defeat by my hands, three years ago. He changed, and now he cares about those in the village. Even though he knew the old me, I'm completely different then I was, and because of that I have a feeling that he would rather go to war with me, then to hand over his country and village to the hands of someone he doesn't know and doesn't trust."

"Well, you can just leave that country alone," Tayuya suggested. "If Gaara is as good as you say he is, he will take care of his people and stop them from going to war."

"Yes," Naruto agreed, "but Gaara is a human, so he won't live forever. A day will come when he will have to retire and who knows what his successors might try to pull."

"Well, you have to choose in the end," Tayuya said. "Either you save him and potentially go to war against him later, or, you let him die, and simply take over the Land of Wind in a few months."

Naruto went into deep thought, and stayed there for about 10 minutes, while Tayuya and the blood clone were waiting to hear what he will decide to do.

Eventually, Naruto opened his eyes, and looked at the two. "Call Saeko, Fu and Juvia," Naruto said. "I want them to come with me, as we are going to save Gaara."

"Ok," Tayuya said, but before she did that, she asked. "Why those three, though? You can do it by yourself."

"Fighting against Akatsuki will be a nice training for the three of them," Naruto said. "I'm far above everyone in this world, and as such, I have no desire to battle. I'll just let those three handle it, while I'll just sit back and enjoy the show." Naruto smirked as he said that, making Tayuya groan, before she left the room to go and find the three girls Naruto mentioned.
