By The Arthur Seishi Boido
Summary: The leaf and Mist village made a deal with each other before Naruto brought Tsunade to become the Hokage. Naruto's going to be married to the new Mizukage, Mei Terumi. Unknown to him, this is going to lead to the greatest time of his life, new friends, new family, and a new dream!

Naruto stood nervously at the gate, Mei was due to arrive at any moment, and several of his friends went out to grab him something. Naruto wasn't sure if he should wear his new clothes or his new Shinobi gear. Ino recommended his Shinobi gear, in case something happens, and they are sent out to make sure she gets here safe. Even though she has Jiraiya, Kakashi-Sensei, her bodyguard, her advisor, Kurenai, and Hinata, not to mention that she is a Mizukage for a reason.
Anko had come over when she heard about Naruto's marriage, she had come to like the boy after the Chunin exams.
Naruto is wearing his black Mist forehead protector he also wore dark blue sweatpants, with metal spikes on the knees, and a pair of black sandals which reached up to his calves, on the bottom of the sandals are metal spiked. Black fingerless gloves with metal plates and metal spikes on the knuckles, black long sleeve shirt with metal plates, dark blue armor was constructed from numerous metal plates, formed into multiple protective guards along his body. Beneath his shoulder armor, he wore two extra shoulder guards on each arm.
Naruto also has two black earnings, which was a gift from Shikamaru. He's also wearing the necklaces that Tsunade gave him, a dark blue bracelet that Jiraiya had given to him, dark blue Chunin vest, black belt, adorned with pouches and various weapons.
He also wore another dark blue sash strapped across his shoulders which he used to hold his sword or another weapon, over which he wore a black hooded trench coat with pockets, which is a gift from Anko. On the upper arms of the trench coat, it had the Uzumaki clan whirlpool symbol and on the back of the trench coat, it had the Namikaze clan Peregrine Falcon logo, metal spikes on the elbows, shoulders, and on the hood part of the trench coat. He also had black pouches on both legs and arms. He also wears dark blue metal spikes arm and leg guards.
Team Konohamaru have given him a black Survival watch that has a small blade to cut himself out of ropes, a compass, and a sleeping gas. Kiba gave him the fang of a past Inuzuka dog, a sign of major respect and a way to show everyone in the Mist he was backed by the Inuzuka clan, it was connected to a chain around his neck.
Naruto is holding the flowers that Ino had sent Shikamaru to get. Chouji also told him that they have a reservation at eight pm tomorrow at his family restaurant, The Golden Dragon.
Iruka put a hand on his shoulder and whispered to him, "Naruto, relax, we're all right behind you. She's going to love you just like we do, it'll go great." Naruto took a deep breath and looked out to see Mei walking up towards the gate.
Naruto was speechless as he looked at his soon-to-be wife. She was incredibly beautiful, truly breathtaking, with perfect curves, auburn hair, amazing green eyes, and a walk that just screamed sexily.
"Wow….just…wow." He stuttered.
Mei smiled, happy to see him completely under her spell already.
"Thanks, you're pretty cute yourself." Mei said as she rubbed his whiskers.
She wasn't kidding, the whisker marks were very exotic, his baby blue eyes, and he had a very muscular frame for someone his age.
Naruto shook his head and brought himself out of his stupor and brought up the flowers.
"Sorry, these are for you, it's a pleasure to meet you… this is going to sound somewhat stupid, but how do I greet you, do we shake hands, hug, what? I'm not really used to this kind of thing." Naruto had said as he gave Mei the flowers.
Mei brought the flowers to her face and smelled them, they had a fantastic aroma. She gave a small laugh at Naruto's question.
"I think a hug would be the best choice, a handshake is far too formal." Mei said with a smile.
Naruto smiled and walked up to his fiancee, who quickly enveloped him in a hug, pressing his face in her cleavage for added effect. The blonde blushed heavily, and his friends laughed behind him.
"I almost had forgotten. I got you a few face masks like mine. That way, you can always hide your face when you are blushing or while you are on missions." Kakashi said with a smile as he gave Naruto the Masks.
"Thank you Sensei." Naruto said before he puts on one of the black face masks before he seals the rest up.
"No, problem." Kakashi said with a smirk that nobody could see.
Anko was next to speak, "Wow brat, if your face got any redder, you'd match the Mizukages hair, by the way, is that colored, or do the curtains match the drapes?"
Everyone's jaws hit the floor, only Anko would ask the Mizukage a question like that.
Mei put her hand on Naruto's chin then wink at him before she said, "Sorry, that's for me to know, and Naruto to find out."
Naruto nearly passed out after hearing that, Anko just laughed before she said, "I think you and I will get along just fine."
All of Naruto's friends began to ask questions of their own, but only Sasuke managed to get through, "You know you're marrying the dead last of the academy, don't you?"
"Sasuke!" Kakashi snapped.
Mei just smirked, "Funny, it seems he's wearing a Chunin vest, and you're not, seems like you've been surpassed by my soon-to-be husband if you ask me."
Kiba fell on the ground laughing, "Dude, she just told you. Hot and funny, lucky you huh Naruto?"
To change the subject, Ino was next to ask her a question. "Do you want to go clothes shopping with us sometime this week?"
"Sure, I do want to get some clothes. That way I will have some clothes here, when we're visiting or when I have something to do with your guy's village. I won't mind getting some clothes to wear in the Mist." Mei said with a smile.
"Sounds like a plan. We can figure out the day and time later." Sakura said with a smile.
They were all about to try to start asking questions again, but they were cut off by Naruto, "Look, I know you guys want to get to know Mei, but I really need to take her to see the old lady, and I'd like to at least try to get to know her a bit on the way, so did you guys mind?"
They all got the idea and nodded, Naruto looked back at Mei and offered her his arm, "Shall we head out."? Naruto asked
'Thank you, Iruka-sensei for teaching me how to be polite towards a woman.' Naruto thought. Mei smiled and took his arm, and they began to walk to the Hokage's office.
Naruto decided to get the biggest question on his mind taken care of first, "So you know about the fox already," Mei nodded.
"Do you...ya know... are you." Mei stopped him with her hand.
"Naruto, I don't hate you, heck, I've just met you. If anything I already have a great impression of you, after all, you had that many people cared enough to support you with all this." Mei said with a smile.
Naruto smiled, "Talk about feeling a weight lift off your shoulder. Oh yeah, the pervy sage didn't try anything on you, did he?"
Mei shook her head, "No, he was actually pretty nice, even gave me some scrolls for you. Maybe I can help you learn a new Jutsu or teach you one later."
Naruto smiled and said, "I would like that."
" By the way, Jiraiya mentioned something about your parents and clans, but I had heard you were an orphan, care to explain?" Mei asked him.
Naruto nodded, "We're almost to the Hokage's office, we should probably wait till we get there before I explain it."
Reluctantly, Mei agreed, as much as her curiosity was peaked, she supposed she could wait a bit longer.
Sasuke was busy at the training grounds, destroying trees with fireballs and grumbling to himself.
Sasuke was beyond angry, "How dare that damn woman imply he was weak, did she know who he was?"
It was insulting being looked down on like that, let alone around the others.
He continued to grumble when Kakashi walked up to him, "Care to explain what that whole thing back there was all about?" Kakashi asked in his usual nonchalant tone.
Sasuke scoffed, "Humph, I was just giving her the facts, she's marrying the dead last, isn't she?"
Kakashi didn't look up from his 'Icha Icha', "That's funny, didn't he save your life twice during the Chunin exam?"
Sasuke scowled, "So what if he did, who cares? He just abandoned us the moment he got any good. All of a sudden he gets all these friends, and now he's just leaving, you said it yourself, he's lower than trash now. Forget him, who needs him? I don't, I don't need anyone!" Sasuke screamed.
Kakashi looked up from his book, "He's not trash, Sasuke. He didn't choose to leave, he's doing it for the village…wait a minute this is about you, isn't it? You want to avoid admitting you're going to miss him."
"No, I'm not, he's just gotten too big of a head." Sasuke snapped.
Kakashi sighed, "Sasuke, why do you think it's not ok to miss him? Naruto told me you were the only one that he felt he could relate to growing up, and something tells me you feel the same. He's been your rival for years now, you saved his life in the Wave, and he saved yours from Gaara. What, did seeing Itachi again just magically turn back to pain in the ass we met on the first day?"
"SHUT UP! You want me to say it, fine! I'm going to miss Naruto. He's like a brother to me. He's my best friend. I don't want him to leave us, me by myself. Are you happy now?" Sasuke screamed.
"Yup, that all I needed, see you later," Kakashi said, looking back down at his book.
Sasuke just stood there dumbfounded, "The bastard tricked me." he muttered.
Tsunade had the Uchiha on her mind as well, she was in the middle of reading all the classified documents she needed to be filled in on now that she was Hokage, and she had just begun to read up on some secrets of the Uchiha clan, and she was shocked as she began to read the file on the massacre and other things about the Uchiha clan and Naruto.
She found things that are connected to Danzo and some Council members, none of them is anything good.
'Danzo, Why are you trying to get Naruto and Sasuke? I have a feeling you won't give up. Since Naruto will be joining the Mist Village, I think you will be focusing on trying to get Sasuke then work on trying to get Naruto.' Tsunade thought as she went through another page of the file.
'Only if I can prevent you from trying to get Sasuke, at least for now….' Tsuande thought before she took a sip of sake.
"Maybe, Just Maybe. Yes, this can work." Tsunade said with a smirk, as she flipped to another page.
She was snapped out of her reading when someone knocked on her door, she put the scroll away and yelled, "Come in."
Naruto walked in, his arm hooked with Mei's, "Hey Granny, how's it going?"
Mei looked shocked, "You call the legendary Sannins, Pervy Sage, and Granny? You must have a death wish."
Tsunade had a tick mark on her forehead, "I believe he does."
Naruto gave his classic foxy grin and scratched the back of his head, "How else would you know it was me? Anyway, I brought Mei here to fill her in on everything she doesn't know yet. We should probably start with my parents and my Clans since she's pretty curious about that."
Mei nodded, "Yes, I really would like to know what's going on about Naruto's parents and Clans."
Tsunade's face got serious, "You can't repeat what I'm about to tell you to anyone, it would put you, Naruto, and many others in danger."
Mei couldn't possibly have been more curious, "Alright, will you please just tell me already?"
Naruto looked at Mei, "My father was 'The Yellow Flash, the 4th Hokage Minato Namikaze. Which makes me a member of the Namikaze Clan. You already know that my last name is Uzumaki, which makes me a member of the Uzumaki Clan. My mom is the Red Tomato, Red Death, Kushina Uzumaki."
Mei was immediately silent, completely shocked, "Wow…well, that would explain why you were chosen to contain the Kyuubi, and I'm guessing Iwa and Kumo are who you don't want to find out."
Naruto spoke up once again, "Yes and more, at least for now. What about the Akatsuki, how much do you know about them?"
"Only what was in the scroll Jiraiya gave me." Mei told him.
Tsunade frowned, "Almost forgot about them. That reminds me, Naruto, we need to get you training again. The old perv told me, he wanted you to start with your Clan scrolls that he gave Mei, so I'm going to have two of my Anbu start training you in those."
"Makes sense, when do we start?" Naruto asked.
"In a week, he wants you to spend time with your fiancée. Meanwhile, they are writing out a training plan." Tsunade said.
"Sounds like a plan." Naruto said with a smile.
"I think we should get you a chakra blade or sword. That way can train you in ninjutsu." Mei.
" Chakra blade, like the Shumokuzame guy use?" Naruto asks as he remembers Itachi's partner.
Mei decided to answer that one, "Yes, but they don't usually look like that, Kesshōken (blood scar sword) is unique, they usually just look like normal metal, you can only tell the difference when you channel chakra in it. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist swords, Kesshōken (blood scar sword), and a few other swords look to have a unique design with unique abilities. There was a rumor of the eighth sword of the Mist that was lost in the Third Great Ninja War, that belonged to Ragyō Niratoge and the sword was called Fantomusōdo (phantom sword) Is Shumokuzame the only Mist ninja you've ever met?"
Naruto shook his head, "No, I met one of the Seven Swordsmen, Zabuza, his apprentice Haku, she had some kind of ice bloodline, and the Demon Brothers."
"Wait, You are the ones who had fought Zabuza., I knew I recognized your name. He told me about you and how you change his view in life and as a Shinobi." Mei said with a smile.
"So Zabuza and Haku had returned to the Mist, I am glad I know a few people there already." Naruto said with a smile.
"That's good, but we need to figure out how to get you a Chakra blade or Sword. Zabuza can teach you how to use it." Mei said as she rubs her chin to think about a way to get him a Chakra blade or sword.
"I think I might have solved the problem. Please hand me Kushina's scrolls." Tsunade asked before pulling out a few scrolls and giving it to her.
Tsunade unsealed everything from the scrolls, then put a sword on the side of her desk. She then sealed everything back up and gave the scrolls back to Mei.
"The rumor about the eighth sword, that belonged to Ragyō Niratoge, the eighth swordsmen of the mist, wasn't a rumor. Kushina had fought and killed her, before taking her blade. She taught herself how to use it. She left it for you, Naruto. I couldn't believe that I had forgotten about the sword." Tsunade said as she handed Naruto the sword.
The sword is a black katana curved at the near of the tip, with three protrusions along the blunt end of the sword close to its, the tsuba becomes more curved and jagged. The sharp part of the blades is dark blue. The crossguard has four prongs bent out to form the shape of the manji, the handle is black and dark blue. The holster is dark blue. On the dark blue holster, there is a craving in black kanji that says Fantomusōdo (phantom sword). The blade itself has the same craving but is dark blue kanji.
Naruto had attached the katana, and its holster to the dark blue sash strapped on his back.
Mei laughed, "Trust me Naruto-kun, I'm sure you'll be able to use it quite well."
Naruto blushed at the new suffix, "Thanks Mei-chan."
Tsunade nodded, "Sounds good, well, get everything ready, you just keep yourself in shape."
"Also, Naruto-kun, I've got something to teach you as well." Mei told him.
"What's that?" He asked.
"We'll Naruto-kun, I think I'm pretty safe in guessing you're a virgin, and I am too, I think we should get used to being intimate with one another before the honeymoon. We won't be going all the way until the wedding night, but I will be teaching you a few fun things leading up to that." Said Mei.
Naruto had a small trickle of blood coming from his nose. He nodded with a massive blush on his face, causing Mei to laugh, she could tell this was going to be fun.
Mei and Naruto returned from the tower to find that every one of Naruto's friends had waited so that they could properly meet her. They all questioned the young Mizukage, Ino asked how she kept herself looking so good, Kiba asked if she was an animal person, Lee asked how bright her flames of youth were, and plenty of other questions.
Asuma's question was the first one that was actually relevant, "So, what is it that makes you kage-level?"
Mei smirked, she was hoping someone would ask her, "I've got three bloodlines, lava release, wood release, and boil release, which I have mastered."
Everyone looked in awe, to have mastered three bloodlines was quite impressive. Sakura spoke up next, "No offense, but doesn't that mean you've peaked?"
Mei smirked, "You'd think, but no, I've mastered everything known about my bloodlines, but that doesn't mean I can't expand on them."
Naruto looked at the clock and then back at his friends, "This has been fun and all, but we need to go to the new house that Granny had set up for us, when we are visiting, and/ or drop by the village." They all nodded and waved goodbye.
" I can't believe she looks that good without dieting." Ino whined.
"I'm just glad she's an animal person." Kiba said.
Thirty minutes later Naruto changed into a pair of orange and a black wife beater. He decided to ask Mei about the sleeping arrangements, while she was changing in the bathroom, "Mei, who's going to sleep where tonight?"
Mei walked out and Naruto's jaw hit the floor, she was wearing a blue nightgown showing off plenty of her figure, mainly her long legs and ample chest, "We're going to sleep in the same bed silly." She said with a smile.
Naruto blushed but nodded and went to lay down in the master bedroom. Mei laid down next to him and laughed, "Don't you like sleeping next to me?"
"Of course I do, it's just…look I've never even kissed a girl, so this is somewhat new to me." Naruto told her.
Mei gave a playful pout, "Oh no, well, don't you worry, I'll give you plenty of affection, you'll get used to it very fast." planting a kiss on his cheek and lying down on her pillow.
Naruto was shocked, but soon smiled, this marriage thing was starting to have its perks…
The next Morning, Naruto was making breakfast. Mei was still asleep, He wanted to surprise her with a homemade meal. He made her eggs, bacon, toast, pancakes, sausages, and oatmeal. He also made her homemade juice and made her coffee.
Mei had woken up and smelled food. She walked out in the living room and saw Naruto.
"I was unaware that you can cook." Mei said as she took a seat by the counter.
"Yep, I taught myself at the age of six. For lunch, I am going to take you to my favorite restaurant, it's called Ichiraku Ramen. I have two people who I wanted you to meet there. " Naruto smiled as he served her plate.
"This smells wonderful. That sounds like a plan." Mei said before she took a bite.
"Oh My God, this is delicious." Mei said before taking another bite then another one.
"Thank you, before I forget. I have reservations at the Golden Dragon at eight pm." Naruto said as he finished making his plate.
"Then I will need to get some clothes, after lunch I can meet your friends and go shopping." Mei said as she took another bite.
"While you do that, I have to do a few things with Ao and Chojuro." Naruto said with a smile.
Someone was knocking at the door.
Naruto had gotten up from his chair and answered the door.
"Uzumaki-Sama, Lady Tsunade will like to have a talk with Mei after you guys eat your breakfast." An Anbu said.
"Anything else, Anbu-Sama." Naruto asked.
"That's it Uzumak-Sama." Anbu said as he bowed before he left.
Naruto went back to Mei.
"Granny wants you to come talk to her after we eat, while you do that I will go visit Iruka Sensei at the Academy." Naruto as he starts to eat.
"Once I am done, I can meet you here." Mei said before she took another bite.
"Sounds like a plan." Naruto said with a smile.
After they had finished eating, they took their showers and got dressed before they headed out for the day.
Mei had just entered the Hokage Office. She wonders why Tsunade wants to see her. She noticed that Kakashi was there as well.
"Sorry, didn't know that you were in a meeting. I can come back when you are done." Mei said before she left.
"No, it's fine. Kakashi, we will finish our conversation, let's say around three." Tsunade said with a smile.
"Okay, Lady Tsunade." Kakashi said before he left.
"There are a few things that we need to talk about. The first thing to talk about is the two Anbu that I am having them train Naruto. They are going to retire from the Leaf forces, a day before Naruto leaves. The reason is that they are part of two clans. One is part of the Uzuki Clan and the Other is part of the Naegi Clan." Tsunade said as she went to a drawer and pulled out some files.
"So they have something to do with Naruto, am I right?" Mei asked.
"Yes, Uzuki Clan always protects the Uzumaki Clan's Royal Blood, Just like the Naegi Clan always protects the Namikaze Clan's Royal Blood." Tsunade said, as she showed Mei some files.
"So you're saying that Naruto is Royal and if I am right, They're going to want to go join the Mist and protect Naruto, if and when he is in a weak state, as well as protect his future kids and wife." Mei said as she was putting two to two.
" Yes, by law that was made from Fire Daimyos. We can't interfere with any Clan's business, I am not sure what's your Water Daimyo's laws on that. My Council can't prevent them from joining your Village as long as you accept them." Mei said with a smirk.
"I see, you have ass hoes as a Council as well. Whatever shows the Council who is boss. I accepted them into joining the Mist Village." Mei said as she shared a smirk with Tsunade.
" Now to the Next subject, let's talk about Sasuke Uchiha and How to screw over Danzo." Tsunade said as she got really serious.
At the Academy, Naruto had a knock on the door.
Iruka opens the door, "Hey Naruto, how are you?
"I am doing good, just stopping by while Mei is talking to Granny. How are you Iruka Sensei?" Naruto said as he entered the classroom.
"Just grading some tests. Do you have any plans for the day?" Iruka said as he went back to his seat.
" Going to have lunch with Mei at Ichiraku Ramen, then for dinner we are going to the Golden Dragon. After dinner, I am going to take her to my favorite spot." Naruto with a smile.
"That's good to hear. I hope you both have fun on your date." Iruka said with a smile.
"Any advice Iruka sensei?" Naruto asked.
"Just be yourself, play some music and have a dance or two with her when you take her to your favorite spot. Make sure you have flowers, Let her know that she is beautiful." Iruka said.
Naruto looked at his watch, "I have to get going. I will see you later and thank you Iruka Sensei" Naruto said as he was about to leave.
"See you later, Naruto." Iruka said with a smile.
As Naruto is waiting for Mei, Naruto went into his backyard to meditate. Mei is on the way to the house, so they can go eat lunch.
Naruto has entered his mindset.
"Kit, what do you want? I was taking a nap." Kurama had asked.
"Nothing really, just want to stop by and see how you are doing." Naruto said with a smile.
" I am doing fine, chasing the animals that you have imagined for me, relaxing, and sleeping. What about you kit?" Kurama asked.
For the next ten minutes, Naruto explained everything that had happened to him. Even though Kurama already knows, he preferred Naruto come talk to him.
" Well Congratulations Kit, and by the way, your mate just arrived. I will talk to you later." Kurama said before he kicked Naruto out of his mindset.
"Hey Mei-Chan, how was your meeting with Granny?" Naruto said as he entered his house.
"It was good, just some business. There is something that you will find out when we leave here. I can tell you now, but I prefer you find out the day we leave." Mei said with a smile.
"Is there any way I can convince you to tell me now ?" Naruto asked with a smile.
" Nope, I promise you one thing, you will be pleased with this surprise." Mei said.
"Okay, are you ready for lunch?" Naruto asked.
"I am ready when you are, I am starving." Mei said before they left.
Few minutes later they arrived at Ichiraku Ramen. Naruto pulled out a chair for Mei. Mei took a seat before Naruto sat down.
Ayame came out from the kitchen and said," what can I take for you…? Oh! Hey Naruto. Dad, Mom, Naruto's here."
Teuchi came out of the kitchen then said," Hey Naruto, how's my number one customer."
"Hi sweetie, How are you?" Ha-Joon said as she was next to come out of the kitchen.
"Hey everyone, I am doing good. I would like you guys to, Mei-Chan. Mei-Chan, this Is Teuchi and Ha-Joon, they are like a father and mother to me. This is Ayame, she is like a big sister to me, similarly to how Iruka is like a big brother to me. They have always given me discounts or free Ramen since I was a kid." Naruto said with a smile.
"Nice to meet you. I am Mei." Mei said with a smile as she shook their hands.
" I see that you are on a date, maybe this can be the one you end up marrying." Teuchi said with a smile.
"Leave the boy alone, you are going scare her away. Sorry about that." Ha-Joon said as she smiled.
"It's okay, he isn't wrong, though." Mei said with a smile.
" That's good, wait what?" Ayame said when she was caught off guard.
"Before you say anything, let us take your two orders, knowing my little boy, he must be hungry." Ha-Joon said as she grabbed a notebook to take their orders.
" I will order three of Naruto's specials, I would order more, but I need to save room for dinner tonight." Naruto said with a small drool.
" Since this is my first time eating here, I will order one of whatever he ordered." Mei said with a smile.
A few minutes later, they brought Mei and Naruto their food. Naruto and Mei explain how they are engaged and that she is a Mizukage.
"I can't believe you two are getting married." Ayame said with a smile.
" You are a lucky guy, marrying a beautiful lady who is also a Mizukage." Teuchi said.
"It's going to be stuck without having you in the Leaf village." Ha-Joon said.
" If it makes you guys feel better, Naruto will see you guys still, I will make sure he comes to visit as much as he can." Mei said.
" I am genuinely grateful to hear that., Also, the meal is on us. Ayame, Teuchi, and Ha-Joon said.
"Thank you, we have to get going, but we will see you guys tomorrow." Naruto and Mei said with a smile before they left.
Naruto and Mei were walking until they saw Ino, Sakura, Hinata, and Ten Ten. They all left to go cloth shopping, while Naruto left to find Ao and Chojuro.
Mei and the girls have gone to a clothing store that's called Silver Tiger. Mei grabbed some two-piece swimsuits, some normal clothes.
Mei saw a beautiful dress. The dress is blue but with a red flame design at the bottom.
"This will be perfect for my date tonight." Mei said with a smile.
"That's beautiful." The girls said.
They went and help her find some high heels to match the color blue. They also found her a matching scarf and purse. Mei went into the changing room to put the dress on.
"How do I look?" Mei asked as she stepped out of the changing room.
" You look outstanding, You have a hard time keeping Naruto hands off you, at least if he was a pervert." Sakura said.
" You look beautiful, Na-Naruto wil-will like it." Hinata said with a smile.
"Naruto is lucky to have you." Ino said with a smile.
While Mei was out shopping with the girls, Naruto went and talk to Ao and Chojuro.
"Ao, Mei told me you might know more about the Fantomusōdo (phantom sword)." Naruto said with a smile.
"Fantomusōdo (phantom sword) was the first sword to be made from the eighth swordsmen of the Mist blades. It had special abilities that only the owner of it would know. You may have the sword, but it doesn't mean you owned it. You have to do a blood bond with it, if the blade accepts you, then you will understand the blade. But if it denies you, it can cause you great pain or death. You are lucky, though, it can't kill you because you contain the nine tails, but it can make your arms useless. Your tailed beast won't let you die, but instead, it should help you bond with the blade even if the tailed beast Is against you." Ao said.
"The reason the tailed beast will help you is that the blade will try to absorb its life force and chakra." Chojuro said with a smile.
"Since you have a tailed beast, you will be able to pull off some unique jutus and techniques that involve the sword." Ao said with a smile.
"If you combine the sword with the Kyuubi's Chakra, it will do more damage to your target and make the blade stronger. I wouldn't be relying on using Kyuubi's Chakra all the time. Something can come up or happen, and you can't use the Kyuubi's Chakra." Chorjuro said with a smile.
"He is right, just like you shouldn't rely on shadow clones and other techniques. You always want to have a back-up plan, in case something backfires, or you can't use it." Ao said.
"I recommend that you learn few other weapons and techniques that you don't know how to use or don't like to use. That way you always have a backup." Chojuro said with a smile.
"I would also recommend touching up on your skills whenever you can. Nothing wrong with strengthening your skills." Ao said.
" Is there anything else that you need to know, or want to ask?, Don't be afraid to ask us anything." Chojuro asked as he stretch his arms until he heard a popping sound.
"There are a few things that I want to ask." Naruto said with a smile.
