A/N:

I want to start this Author note off with a big thank you for the most part to all the kind reviews. You don't know how much that means to me! Seriously thank you all, and to all the follows (166 since I last looked), and favorites (as of now 125) THANK YOU! You're all crazy! Thank you for your support! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Now to answer some questions. The reason I'm having Karin in this harem is that I'm taking a page out of Return to the past. I'm making Naruto, and Karin the last of the royal line, to make sure the unique Uzumaki clan traits with their pseudo bloodline if you think about it the Adamantine sealing chains, Karin's healing via being bitten, and sensory abilities are passed down. That's how I'm thinking about it in my head and I'm going to stick to it!

Now unless I was knocked out and way too sleepy, I thought I saw some reviews of people asking for Temari to be in the harem. To be honest, she hasn't come into my mind at all for her to be in the harem. I'm only going with 5 or 6 girls, but if I change my mind with Temari you'll find out through the story, and maybe I'll leave it open for it to happen =).

I see a lot of people making suggestions for the harem, and I'm going to be straight forward. I already have the girls chosen, if any of it changes it would be to add Temari to the group. That's literally it. So as much as I like seeing suggestions for it, my mind is already made up on the harem.

Please don't tell me what to do with my story! I wasn't planning on having a massive harem, to begin with, because honestly, I would have had trouble keeping up with all the girls too. Also, this story is already Massively AU so please don't tell me to stick to canon events. I will do some of them but that's really it.

Now I know someone didn't like the ending of my first chapter and to be honest, I kinda don't either. I probably won't change it though. Now the thing with my stories is I try to keep them unique and different from everyone else's. Some people might not like what I do in this chapter, and what I set up. I'm sorry ahead of time if you don't

I know some people ask for Naruto to destroy Konoha for what they did to him. I will state this, he won't destroy Konoha, but he'll definitely do something with those pesky elder's and maybe find a way to screw them in the alliance to help Uzu out more ;)

I really don't have much else to say, except I'm not going to single this person's name out, but you bitch and complain about people leaving negative reviews on your stories when you LITERALLY insult and attack people on their stories. Maybe don't be a hypocritical prick and people might not be such a massive asshole to you on your stories. But good luck on Ao3.

Now, remember, don't be toxic. If you don't have anything nice to say, then just don't say it. Seriously no need to be an asshole. It's 2020 soon to be 2021, people you need to grow up and be mature.

I don't own Naruto, Kishimoto does.

Chapter 2

Naruto woke up the next day in his cell, he was slightly nervous about what was to come today. Today was going to be the day he finds out if he truly is an Uzumaki, and the fox wasn't just making something up to say while they were in a tight spot.

While he waited for what to happen today, Naruto decided he would get a light work-out in while he waited, and did some push-ups and crunches. As he was finishing his work-out his captive came in.

It was the same shinobi that talked to him last time, before he left he gave his name, Domon Uzumaki.

"Alright kid, the rest of the clan is ready to find out if you're truly an Uzumaki, and didn't make something up on the spot," Domon said.

Naruto only nodded and walked to the cell door where Domon opened it up for him and had him follow.

When they finally got outside the building, Naruto was in awe of what he saw. The ruins were almost completely gone, and there were now small family homes, what looks like a shinobi academy being built, training grounds, farms, Library being fixed up, and finally what he assumed would be the Uzushiokage's mansion.

Naruto thought they might still go to the mansion but instead went to an old war-torn looking building that somehow survived the fall of Uzushiogakure.

As they entered the building, it looked like the whole clan was there. Naruto noticed there were a surprising amount of kids maybe a few years younger than him, some teenagers his age or slightly older, but he noticed there was a girl with long red hair and glasses that looked around his age. He blushed a little when he saw her because he did think she was kinda cute. Maybe not as beautiful as Sakura, but she was definitely cute.

Domon led Naruto up to two older Uzumaki's and said, "Elders, this is the boy I was telling you about who said he was an Uzumaki. He goes by Naruto Uzumaki."

"Hello boy, my name is Miyo Uzumaki, and I'm one of the elders of the clan. I'm sorry we've been aggressive with you, but you have to see it from our side. No one is supposed to know that Uzushiogakure is being rebuilt, and to suddenly find someone appearing on our shores is suspicious. Domon here told us that you got banished from your village. Before we proceed to find out if 1. You're an Uzumaki and 2. From this test, we'll also find out if you're from the royal line like Karin-chan over there." The Elder Uzumaki said, pointing to the long red-haired girl that looks like Naruto's aged.

"Now Naruto, my name is Shota Uzumaki, and I'm the other clan elder. This test will be a blood seal on these two scrolls. This blood seal will determine if you have enough of the royal line in your blood. If you do this will confirm what Domon told us about who you said your mother was. Now if you don't have any of the royal line, it's fine this other scroll will also test to see if you're still an Uzumaki. If it proves you're an Uzumaki a standard Uzumaki sword will come out. Do you have any idea who your father was?" Shota said.

"I don't know! The Third Hokage would always change the subject, or tell me he can't tell me for my own safety. So much that did for me!" Naruto said

"Hm so why did the Hidden Leaf banish you?" Miyo asked, causing Naruto to flinch at the question.

Naruto took a deep breath, "I have the Nine-Tail Fox sealed inside me. I'm his jinchuriki. The elder's and some of the clan heads wanted to banish me because they thought the Nine-Tails escaped when I was fighting the sand demon. The truth is I transformed the toad boss into the Nine-Tails, but since I also used his chakra once to unlock my chakra points in a fight with a Hyuga during the Chunin exams. They thought I was losing control and the Nine-Tails was taking over when in reality I was the one in control the whole time. In fact, most of the village saw me as the demon, and not as Naruto Uzumaki."

Everyone that was there was in shock at what the blonde boy said. Not only was he banished from his village for something that clearly he didn't do, but they were just scared at the potential this boy could have.

Naruto could sense some of the anger coming from his clan members and he thought the same thing he thought that the Leaf Village thought of him as a demon.

The first thing Naruto heard came from the girl his age, Karin. Her hair looked like it was flying all over the place like a demon.

"I can't believe that village, how dare they treat you like that!" Karin said.

"Boy, you aren't a demon don't let anyone else tell you otherwise," Miyo said with a gentle smile.

"Yeah kid, don't let anyone make you think you're a demon. I'm sure Mito-sama and Kushina-hime would probably be rolling in their graves if they knew this was happening." Domon said.

He was surprised at the kind words they were saying. Even though he might die today, he knew at least these people didn't think of him as a demon.

What Naruto didn't know, however, was that the elders had little doubt that he would pass their test. Kushina was the jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails before Naruto. They put two and two together, surmising that Kushina's seal must have broken and forced her husband and her to seal the Nine-Tails in their son.

"Alright Naruto, it's time for you to take the test and see if everything you said about Kushina-hime being your mother is true. We already know you must be at least part Uzumaki since you just told us you're the Nine-Tails jinchuriki. Our clan is the only ones who can be the container for the Nine-Tails." Shota said, handing the two blood seal scrolls over to Naruto.

Naruto took the scrolls with shaky hands. He was very nervous and worried about what would happen next. Naruto bit his thumb and spread blood on both of the seals and then placed his hands on the seals and pushed chakra into the seals.

The Uzumaki's around were surprised at what just happened, both scrolls reacted to Naruto, the only two that weren't surprised were the elders. Naruto was also surprised that both scrolls reacted to him, but what came from the royal scroll really surprised him.

"Uh, so do I pass?" Naruto stuttered out.

"Yes Naruto, you passed! What you see is the Royal Heirloom is the katana called Masamune along with a wakizashi. What many people forget is, not only are we masters of fuinjutsu, we were one of the top villages for kenjutsu too. Now that it is confirmed that you're an Uzumaki, but you're also from the royal line we have a lot to discuss and go over." Miyo said.

"If you'll excuse us, we need to go over a lot of things with Naruto-kun. Domon, you should accompany us, Karin-hime, please drop by in a couple of hours because we have to discuss something important with both of you." Shota said.

Everyone started leaving the old building, leaving Naruto, Domon, Miyo, and Shota in the chamber to discuss some things.

"Naruto-sama, please let me apologize for how I originally treated you and for not believing what you said," Domon said while bowing to Naruto, making the latter feel uncomfortable.

"Thank you Domon, but please just call me Naruto," Naruto said, receiving a nod from the older redhead.

"Okay, let's start off with the easy stuff first, shall we. Domon, you'll be Naruto-kun's sensei. You'll teach him fuinjutsu, kenjutsu, taijutsu, chakra control, and ninjutsu. Naruto, what ninjutsu you know?" Shota asked.

"Well Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin was going to be my master before we found out I was banished. The only thing he was able to teach me before then was the Rasengan which as of now I can only do with clones, and had me sign the toad summons contract. He left me some basic elemental jutsus to learn along with some ninjutsu scrolls of my elemental affinity which is wind. As of now, I know a couple of C-rank wind release jutsus, and one B-rank from my old sensei Kakashi Hatake gave me to learn. I haven't mastered the B-rank wind release called Tornado Barrage, and the Rasengan since my chakra control still needs work. I also use the shadow clone jutsu to help me learn things faster because of the memory transfer that comes with the shadow clone jutsu."

The two elders and Domon were quite surprised at what Naruto told them. They could see how much potential Naruto has in becoming potentially the strongest shinobi in the Five Great Shinobi Countries.

"Okay, I think what we'll start with before we get into learning or mastering your ninjutsu is getting better chakra control. Your clones should help you out a lot with that. Before we continue on your training schedule, How many clones can you use for training?" Domon asked

"Hm, before I got here I was using twenty with only very slight exhaustion from using them," Naruto said, with a hand on his chin.

"Okay, we'll be jumping that up to thirty. Twenty-nine clones will be working on chakra control, while the other one will be reading up in the clan library on fuinjutsu. Meanwhile, you and I will be working on your taijutsu and kenjutsu. You'll need to learn kenjutsu because of Masamune. It'll definitely help you out in battles. We'll start training tomorrow. After the discussion today, I'll show you to your new home." Domon said, getting a nod from the blonde and the elders.

"Now Naruto, when you're not training, you'll be learning politics. With-in three years we'll be putting you in a two-year trail run as the Uzushiokage. We'll start then to let the other nations slowly know the rise of Uzushiogakure by setting up alliances. The only issue you'll have is we really don't have allies right now, when we go to start alliance talks you'll most likely be put in arranged marriages." Miyo said, getting a shocked look from the blonde.

"Which means you'll have multiple wives, and we'll be discussing one of the wives you'll have very shortly," Shota said.

An hour passed where they discussed more things about the village and their plans when there was a knock on the door.

Domon walked to the door and opened it to let Karin into the chamber.

"Welcome Karin-hime, the elders will see you now," Domon said.

"Hello elders," Karin said, bowing to them.

"Hello Karin-chan. Now the reason we need to talk to the both of you is although we're all technically family, you two are much closer than the rest of us since you both are from the royal line. Which means, to keep the royal line going, you two will have to get married. Before you say anything Karin, you'll also have to know Naruto will have to take on more wives than just you." Miyo said, getting a shocked look from the two teenagers.

"I'm assuming we both don't have a say in this right?" Karin said.

"No, unfortunately. I know both of you might not like this at the present moment, but give it time." Miyo said.

"Okay granny Miyo, I'll do what you say. This is a second chance at life and I won't mess this up. I do have one thing to say to you all." Naruto said, getting a slight angry look from Miyo from the nickname the blonde just gave him.

"There is a terrorist organization called the Akatsuki filled with S-rank missing-nin. They're going to be hunting all the tailed beasts in about three years' time if I remember correctly what the pervy sage and his spy said. That might all change now since I'm off the grid and not in the Leaf. If I can make a suggestion, in a few year's time when hopefully I become a master or close to a master fuinjutsu, we develop seals to protect the island. I know there are already some fuinjutsu seals to help, but we clearly need more powerful ones. I don't want our home to fall again," Naruto said, getting shocked looks from the others.

"Well Naruto, it seems the Leaf made a fatal error in banishing you. Don't worry kid, I'll make you strong enough to beat these terrorists and defend us from other nations." Domon said

"Naruto-kun, make sure you take your training seriously. Karin, you should probably join Naruto in training too. You still have very little control over the Adamantine Sealing Chains." Shota said

"Yes elder Shota," Karin said, with a bow.

"Do you guys think I'll be able to use the Adamantine Sealing Chains?" Naruto asked.

The Elders and Domon thought about it, "If you haven't been able to unlock them yet, you might not have the ability to do so, but I do know one way you might be able to."

The elders, Karin, and Naruto looked at Domon with a questioning look.

"How so Domon-sensei?" Naruto asked.

"Well, I read in an old clan book that if someone from the royal line hasn't unlocked the ability to use the Adamantine Sealing Chains you can electrocute the said person with high voltage. If they don't unlock them from that stress then you don't have the ability to use them. If we do use this barbaric approach I say we wait about six months to strengthen your body and better your chakra control before we even try it." Domon said, getting some distasteful looks from the elders.

"Okay, I'll do it," Naruto said, getting shocked looks from the elders and Karin.

"Naruto-kun, it's dangerous! You could die from it!" Karin stated.

"I don't think I'll die, but you aren't wrong Karin-chan, but I need to see if I'm able to use them. It'll help us significantly," Naruto said calmly.

"Alright, let's end here for today. Domon, Karin-chan show Naruto to his new home for the time being." Shota said, the three bowed and left.

The three were walking back into what was going to be the main part of the village, and where all the homes were. They were chatting here and there about things when they came up to a small two-floor home.

"Alright Naruto, this will be your home, Karin-hime, Naruto we begin training at 6 A.M. sharp so be ready for a long painful day," Domon said with an evil grin, making the two shake a little with fear.

Domon left the two outside of Naruto's new home. It was silent for a couple minutes before Naruto decided to break the silence.

"Karin-chan, I didn't know they were going to arrange for us to be married. I'm sorry, but since we don't have the choice in the matter do you mind showing me around the village, and maybe we can get food?" Naruto said with a foxy grin.

"It's okay Naruto-kun, I knew I was going to be put in arrange marriage, and all though we are technically cousins. I'm happy it's someone from the clan, rather than just some random royal clan from a different village. Alright, let's go walk around the village, and get some food!" Karin said, getting a smile from Naruto.

The two walked through the village getting to know each other better and finally getting ramen surprisingly of all food for dinner. They left the ramen stand and went their separate ways to end the day.

(Six months later in the Leaf village)

It's been six months since Naruto was banished, although the Hidden Leaf Village was doing great, the Fire Daiymo brought the hammer down on the elders when he found out the ninja he agreed to banish was there jinchuriki.

Daiymo realized he was slacking on his duties, and now that he realized he let the elders have too much freedom. He's started coming to every council meeting to make sure they aren't handcuffing their Hokage and making sure they're making the right decisions for what's best for the Hidden Leaf.

Lady Tsunade was quite happy to have the Daiymo now on her side and having him come down on the elders. It has made her life easier to say the least. She now has a medic-nin program, all the genin teams now have one genin in each team learning at least basic medical ninjutsu to help keep them alive till they get home.

She decided to take on more than one apprentice besides Sakura. She took up Hinata, and Ino. Although the latter of the two took up medical ninjutsu well, Sakura was the one that surpassed both of them because of her fantastic chakra control. Tsunade wouldn't be surprised if she surpasses her in the future.

One thing Tsunade hated about being Hokage was the blasted paperwork that came with it. There is something that surprised her though was the sudden change in one Sasuke Uchiha. He always had an avenger complex, but when Naruto got banished, something changed in the boy, and that change was for the better.

He was no longer dark, he didn't ignore his fellow Leaf shinobi, and in fact, he finally told Sakura he doesn't see her like that, but more like a sister. Even though Naruto wasn't there anymore, he did tell her maybe she should try to move her feelings to the boy that constantly was by her side, motivated her, and pushed her to better herself even if he wasn't here anymore.

Sakura was sad at Sasuke not returning her feeling, but then when she thought about he was right. Naruto was always there for her no matter what even if she pushed him away or talked down to him, Naruto would still be by her side pushing her to keep improving and to never look down on herself.

Sakura and Sasuke got a new teammate in Sai. They weren't too thrilled about it considering he came from Root, but even so they were surprised that all worked well together… Well as well as they could.

Finally though, Kakashi started taking his students training more seriously. He felt like he failed them, especially his sensei's son Naruto. He vowed to himself that he would make his students as strong as they can be.

While their training got more intense, Sakura was taking on a lot with Tsunade being her sensei, and also still training with her team. She was exhausted almost every day, but she wouldn't have it any other way. She now knows her elemental affinity, which is water, and now knows some water release ninjutsu along with learning Tsunade's taijutsu style with her superhuman strength.

Everything seems to be going great for everyone except for two elders, Danzo, and Homura. The two elders were meeting in Danzo's root headquarters, "Any news on your root team eliminating Naruto Uzumaki?"

"No, they couldn't find any trail of him, let alone what direction he possibly went in when he left the Leaf. It's like he just vanished off the face of the earth, hopefully, he died to some bandits or missing-nin." Danzo said.

"I can't believe the Daiymo came down on us like that. Now we have to be careful with what we do now Danzo. Be wary of Koharu, she apparently informed Tsunade and the Daiymo that she was against the banishment. Whatever move we do next needs to be thought out and not brought back to us." Homura said

"Sai hasn't been able to get any information out of team 7. They won't even bring up Naruto around him. I know they saw which direction he went in when he left, but they won't say anything. I'll let you know if I get any leads on him. Now good night Homura." Danzo said, receiving a nod from Homura who shunshin out of the headquarters.

(Meanwhile in Uzushiogakure)

In a hidden chamber in the library, Naruto was getting undressed for his procedure to try to unlock the Adamantine Sealing Chains. He would be lying if he wasn't nervous, he knew it was going to be painful, but he needed to see if he could unlock them. Karin was extremely nervous for Naruto and the elders put up a stoic face and were going to be watching the procedure from behind a window.

"Okay Naruto, we're going to chain you up, and let's hope this works or I'm going to feel pretty awful for putting you through so much pain," Domon said, as he motioned for Naruto to join him in the middle of the room.

Naruto walked into the middle of the room where there were two chains hanging from the ceiling. Domon connected the chains to Naruto's wrist and handed him a towel to bite down on.

"Use this to help you from screaming out. It's going to be really painful, but I faith this will work. Alright get ready, I'm going to start placing the seals on your back." Domon said, as he walked behind Naruto and put the seals in the right place to start the procedure.

After the seals were placed, Domon claps his hands together and channels his chakra into the seals causing Naruto to be electrocuted. Naruto bites down hard on the towel as he's being electrocuted.

About ten minutes were about to come up, Domon cancels out his chakra and stops the electricity going through Naruto.

"I'm sorry Naruto, but it doesn't seem like you'll be able to use them," Domon said, with a small frown.

Naruto spits out the towel, "Domon...Sensei… Let's do it one… more time… I felt something on… my back… I think if… I channel chakra to… the spots that I… felt something the chains will… come out"

He nodded at Naruto and rolled up the towel again and put it in Naruto's mouth. Domon clapped his hands together.

"Okay Naruto, prepare yourself in 3 2 1!" Domon said, channeling chakra into the seals on Naruto.

As Naruto was withering in pain, he felt the five spots on his back that felt like they were telling him to channel chakra there. Naruto started to channel chakra into those spots as best as he could and all of a sudden felt five chains fly out of those five spots on his back.

Domon was in complete shock at seeing the chains come out of Naruto. He was so in shock he forgot to undo his chakra he was channeling into the seals.

He hurriedly canceled out his chakra and seals stopped electrocuting Naruto. He ran over to Naruto and unclasped the chains holding him up. Naruto fell on to Domon, he caught Naruto and held him.

"You did it Naruto! You unlocked the chains. We're so proud of you, and now we can start beginning more intense training too." Domon said, with a small smile.

Karin ran in to check on Naruto to make sure he's okay. The elder's slowly walked in with a smile on their face.

"Are you okay Naruto-kun?" Karin asked.

"I feel like a million Ryo, what do you think, Karin-chan?" Naruto said with a chuckle.

"Domon-sensei, I know it's stupid to ask, but I'm assuming to make them disappear I stop channeling chakra into those spots? Also they surprisingly don't consume much chakra either." Naruto said, receiving a nod to his question and statement from Domon.

"Naruto, like Domon said, we're all proud of you, but he isn't wrong when he said the training will get more intense from here on out you two better be ready. Now before you go home to rest your body from the pain, I have news about the Leaf Village." Shota said.

"Apparently, the Fire Daimyo didn't know who he was actually banning. When he found out it was you, he came down hard on the elders of the Leaf. Apparently the ones called Danzo and Homura are walking on thin ice over there. The Fire Daimyo is now at every council meeting to make sure their elders don't try anything. Also, Lady Tsunade now isn't being underhanded and overruled as the Hokage. I'm sure if you wanted to you could head back to the Leaf Village." Shota said with a small frown.

"That's all good news gramps, but I'm now a shinobi of Uzushiogakure, and will eventually be the Uzushiokage. I'd rather be with my clan, and with people that wont see me as a demon. This is also the perfect place for us to train, and start scheming against the Akatsuki. We do need to start thinking about a way to bring in income. I know we want to stay hidden, but maybe we should send a letter for the Daimyo's eyes only to have him send some missions our way." Naruto said

The elders looked shocked at how Naruto was already starting to act like a leader.

'Maybe his lessons were starting to pull off. He's no longer acting that much as a prankster or a brat.' Shota thought

'He still does a prank from time to time, but it's good to see him taking things more seriously' Miyo thought.

"Hm, if I would say we could go after missing Nin with high bounties to start. We can wait for when we think you're ready to take on at least A rank shinobi. A lot of the kids around your age aren't ready to go on more than D-rank borderline C-rank. We started to train them harder, so once they're also ready we'll make teams, and eventually reach out to the Daimyo for missions." Miyo said.

"If I can make a suggestion? Maybe we can send out whatever Jonin we have that isn't training any kids and or teenagers to find some missing-nin that are willing to join Uzushiogakure? The only missing-nins I would suggest are from the Hidden Mist, most of them probably left because of the civil war. You also might be able to find some with Kekkei Genkai. So what do you think? We need more shinobi, and they can probably be convinced to join us?" Naruto said.

Miyo and Shota were surprised at what Naruto said. He wasn't wrong, but was it smart to bring in missing-nin from other villages?

"We'll ask everyone to see what they think, and if they agree then, we'll bring in some that we know won't betray us. If they do we'll make sure to put a seal on them that would kill them if they betray us." Miyo said.

"That's all I can ask, now if you all don't mind I would like to sleep now," Naruto said.

"Okay Naruto, I'll carry you home. Karin-hime, can you make sure to bring food to Naruto's place so when he eventually wakes up he'll have something to eat?" Domon said.

"Sure thing, Domon-sensei! Naruto-kun, sleep well!" Karin said before taking her leave.

(Two and Half Years Later)

Uzushiogakure was full of life. All the ruins were gone and replaced with new buildings, and homes. Uzu also has more shinobi now than they did before. The elders and the clan eventually did listen to what Naruto said, and brought in some missing-nin, many of which came from the Hidden Mist Village. These were men, women and children alike who all sought to escape the ongoing civil war. A few also joined Uzushiogakure from the Hidden Rain Village.

The shinobi from the Hidden Mist helped all the Uzumaki shinobi in kenjutsu that didn't know how to use a sword. While the Hidden Rain shinobi that joined helped all the shinobi that had an affinity to water. They did however bring in two Sand kunoichi's that happened to have the same name. One of them decided to change their name to Niko though.

Meanwhile, in the Uzukage mansion, Naruto, Domon, Karin, and the elders Miyo and Shota were all in the office discussing the latest news they heard about other villages.

"Naruto, it seems your friend Gaara is the new Kazekage of the Hidden Sand Village," Shota said.

"That's great. Perhaps with him in power, we could make our first alliance Suna. If you don't mind elders, do you think Karin, Domon-sensei, and Niko go to the Hidden Sand Village to talk to Gaara? I'm sure he would love to hear from me, and we might be able to get some missions out of it too. We can always use henge if we get close to other shinobi although Niko will probably have to use henge once we get into the Hidden Sand village." Naruto asked

Shota and Miyo whispered to each other for a few minutes before Miyo spoke up, "Naruto we'll agree to it, but why would you want to take Niko-chan?"

"Well Niko is also my sensei too, she's one of the best close-range fighters we have. No offense to Domon-sensei, but she's also from the Hidden Sand Village, so she'll be able to help us get there faster. Which would come in handy if we need to hide while we're in the Village." Naruto said

Shota and Miyo looked at each other and then looked back at Naruto and gave him a smile.

"Alright Naruto, that sounds fine to us. Prepare to leave by tomorrow, also since we aren't hunting missing-nin for money, here's your Hitai-ate. We're going to be handing this out to all our shinobi tomorrow, better late than never." Shota said, throwing the Hitai-ate to the three, including an extra for Naruto to give to Niko.

Naruto looked at his new Hitai-ate that sported a Three whirlpools on it instead of the original one whirlpool.

"I'm assuming we're going with three whirlpools now because the Leaf Village has our crest on their flak jackets?" Karin said

"That's correct Karin-chan, Naruto I gave you an extra one to give to Niko-chan, now be off you three and we'll see you off tomorrow!" Miyo said

The three left the Uzukage office and went to go find Niko who was probably at the training grounds training their shinobi in kenjutsu.

As the three went to the training grounds, Domon spoke up "Naruto, why do you want to risk going all the way to the Hidden Sand Village?"

"Well for starters Domon-sensei, Gaara is my friend and since he's the Kazekage he'll want to make an alliance with us since I'll be the Uzushiokage. Now the other main reason is to inform him of the Akatsuki. We really don't know what they've been up to, and since there has been no trial of me which has probably ruined their plans to capture the tailed beasts I still need to inform him. I can have him make contact with the pervy sage to find out more information on them and send it to us too." Naruto said

"Naruto-kun isn't still a risk for us to go to them since they're allied with the Leaf? We could run into some of their shinobi's!" Karin said

"Well Karin-chan, that's why we can just henge well for my case I'll need to henge, you two can probably stay the same, but Niko will need to henge too," Naruto said, with a toothy grin.

They stopped talking as they reached the training grounds to find Niko, they saw her currently training a few of the kids that are close to being able to become genin in taijutsu, while Pakura who was thought to be dead and a former Hidden Sand kunoichi was helping kids who have a kekkei genkai since she had one.

The three of them waved at Niko to have her come over. She dismissed her class and headed over to the three.

"Hello Naruto-sama, Karin-sama, Domon is there anything you two need?" Niko asked

Naruto threw the Uzushiogakure Hitai-ate at her, she caught it and was shocked at first; then a smirk went on her face. She went and tied the Hitai-ate on her forehead.

"Is there anything else you need of me Naruto-sama?" Niko said.

"We have a mission!" Naruto said.

"Oh? And what's the mission?" Niko asked.

"We're going to the Hidden Sand Village to talk about a potential alliance so we can hopefully start getting some missions. They happen to have a new Kazekage who just happened to be a good friend of mine." Naruto said.

"Hm sounds good, when do we leave? And what about if we run into any Leaf Shinobi?" Niko asked.

"We leave tomorrow morning, and if we haven't been noticed yet by the leaf shinobi, I will henge to make my futures look slightly different and go by the Menma. I'll be able to hold it for a long time thanks to the fox's help. Oh that reminds me, after this mission we're going to have to potentially head to the Hidden Cloud, so I can talk to one of their fully realized jinchuriki. Although I'm making great work with fox and breaking his barriers down one by one, I still have a lot of work ahead of me." Naruto said, with a sigh after he finished speaking about the Nine-Tails.

"Hm. Naruto we'll have to talk to the elders about your own personal mission there. If you and the Nine-Tails can get on the same page, it could be a major difference when it comes to the other Hidden Villages." Domon said, receiving a nod from Naruto.

"Sensei before we leave, you'll be able to fix Gaara's seal right? I'm pretty sure they messed up at some point with the connection, and that's why Gaara can't sleep." Naruto asked.

"Although I can, I don't see why you can't do it? You and Karin are almost sealing master's now." Domon said.

"You'll need both of our chains just in case Shikaku tries to escape," Naruto said

"Okay Naruto, we'll do it your way, now everyone go and stock up on supplies and we'll meet tomorrow morning at the gate. The Journey will take us about a week to get there." Domon said as everyone left to go stock up on supplies.

After travelling for about a week with no noticeable hiccup, Naruto and his group got to the gates of the Hidden Sand. Niko went into a henge to make sure she doesn't get recognized by any Sand shinobi. When they walked up to the gates, Naruto saw a bunch of shinobi running around in panic, and then he noticed Temari.

"Temari!" Naruto yelled at the blond, which he happened to notice how gorgeous she's become over the past few years since he last saw her causing a slight blush to show on his face.

Temari looked over and saw a blond hair teenager waving to her, she walked up to him and was shocked to realize who it was.

"Naruto is that you? What are you doing over here? Why aren't you in the Leaf?" Temari asked, with a confused look on her face.

He flinched at her question and realized the Leaf hadn't let out that they banished him.

"I'll tell you later, I need to talk to Gaara, where is he?" Naruto asked

"Naruto, two men with black robes and red clouds kidnapped him a few hours ago, we are getting ready to send people after him. We sent word to the Leaf for help." Temari said, with an old lady nearby listening in.

Naruto started to leak out killer intent that surprised all the shinobi around. They weren't expecting such potent killer intent.

"Which way did they take Gaara, Temari, I'll go and bring him back with my squad. I was actually coming here to warn Gaara about the group that kidnapped him." Naruto said with a deep voice.

"They went east from here, they'll be tough to track, why not let me come with you?" Temari asked

That's when the old lady decided to speak up, "Lady Temari, how about I go with them, I have a suspicion on who one of the members is, and they'll need my help."

"Lady Chiyo! Are you sure you can go back out in the field?" Temari asked with concern.

"Don't question me girl, they'll need my help, trust me." Lady Chiyo said

"Okay, if you say so, Naruto please take Lady Chiyo with you," Temari said

"Okay, but the hag better keep up. Also Temari, please do me a favor. When the Leaf shinobi come, don't let them know it's me that helped Gaara. I'll inform you why later," Naruto said, receiving a nod from Temari.

The group was going as fast as they could to try to catch up to Gaara's captives, thankfully during their three years of training Karin's sensory ability increased significantly, and was finally able to pick them up with-in a couple of hours of leaving the sand.

"Naruto-kun, They're about 8 miles out from us. We should be able to reach them in a couple of hours." Karin said, receiving a nod from Naruto.

"Naruto, if you don't mind me asking why did you want Lady Temari not to inform the Leaf you're helping the Sand?" Lady Chiyo asked, seeing Naruto flinch from the question, and his companions giving a frown.

"Ugh, Lady Chiyo if you don't know why I'm not at the Hidden Leaf Village. Then that informs me that they're hiding what happened three years ago. Lady Chiyo what I'm about to tell you, you can't inform anyone else." Naruto said, receiving a nod from Lady Chiyo.

"The Hidden Leaf Village banished me after the Sand/Sound invasion. The Elders saw me fighting Gaara, and then they saw me transform the toad boss into the Nine-Tails. Since I'm the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, they assumed I let the fox out, and that I gave full control to the fox which is furthest away from the truth. I never lost control, and barely tapped into the fox's chakra, but two of the elders, and some the clan heads, couldn't trust me. So they decided to banish me before it was too late. I ended up going to my mothers home Uzushiogakure, to discover my clan was still alive and rebuilding our home village." Naruto said, pointing to his Hitai-ate.

That's when Lady Chiyo realized Naruto and his group wasn't wearing Hidden Leaf Hitai-ate but one that had three whirlpools on it.

"I'm sorry to hear that Naruto. And as for information about Uzu, you don't have to worry about Suna as long as it doesn't compromise OUR security" Lady Chiyo said, receiving a nod from Naruto.

Lady Chiyo noticed one of the kunoichi with Naruto dropped a henge, and she was in shock at who it was.

"Pakura Arata is that you?"

"Hello Lady Chiyo, how are you? If you don't mind my new name is Niko." Niko said

"I'm okay, I thought you abandoned the Sand? It's surprising to see you with a new village now," Chiyo said.

"I was going to join a random mercenary group, but Domon here ran into me when I was heading to join them. He brought me to Naruto-sama here and they made me a good offer and I'm now an Uzu Kunoichi. I'm a sensei now too!" Niko said with a smile.

"I'm happy you're doing well, when we rescue Gaara, and get back to the Sand. Please drop your henge to him when we have a meeting with him. I'll make sure he pardons you going missing, and officially transfers you to Uzu if an alliance benefits us!" Chiyo said

"Thank you Lady Chiyo, and that was one of my goals heading to see Gaara. We were hoping to form an alliance, and that you guys might be able to push some missions to us." Naruto said

"What is this connection with the young Kazekage that makes you certain he'll agree to an alliance?" Lady Chiyo asked

"During the sand-sound invasion three years ago, I found that Gaara and I had a lot in common," Naruto said

"And what would you have in common with the young Kazekage besides being a jinchuriki yourself?" Lady Chiyo asked

"Well, although Gaara has siblings he still grew up shunned, alone, and treated awful. It was the same for me in the Hidden Leaf. Most of the civilians hated me, verbally abused me, and wrote awful things on my door to my apartment. At the ninja academy, none of the sensei's there would teach me properly except Iruka-sensei. Gaara is now your Kage, and my dream was to be the Hokage, but now I'm pretty much the Uzushiokage. Lady Chiyo, I'm fully confident that Gaara and I will be able to come to an agreement on an alliance." Naruto said.

"Hm, you bring up good points brat, and your clan is known for fuinjutsu. I'm the last sealing master in the Sand, so we can probably use your assistance there." Lady Chiyo said

"We'll discuss it when we bring Gaara back," Naruto said flashing his signature grin.

After a few more hours of traveling they all could sense that they were closing in on the two Akatsuki members.

"Naruto-kun we should be coming upon them in a few minutes!" Karin said

Naruto and his group saw the two Akatsuki about 30 feet in front of them. They sped up a little bit, jumped down from the trees they were on, and landed about ten feet in front of the Akatsuki duo.

"This is as far as you go Akatsuki, we'll be taking the Kazekage back with us to the Sand," Naruto said to the two Akatsuki duo.

A/N:

Well, that was Chapter two! I'll be honest, I don't like how I had Naruto get the Adamantine Sealing Chains, but I really couldn't think of a way to get it, and the way I did it may have been barbaric, but I'm going to leave it how it is!. So if you don't like that section I fully understand!

I hope you like my OC I made named Domon, and the OC elders I made will have a decent part in my story. Now if you want to know what Domon Uzumaki looks like. Look up Domon Kasshu from G Gundam and imagine him with red hair, that is what Domon Uzumaki would look like! =)

Now originally after this small arc, I was going to do a time-skip, but I've changed my mind. I'm now going to have the next chapters for the forcible future being about making alliances, meeting the other girls of the Harem, and maybe another Akatsuki fight =).

I'm actually really excited to write the next chapter, because there is a small interaction I'm planning on writing that I'm excited for everyone to eventually read =).

Don't really have much to say except, I am working on the son that could have been. Good chance it won't be released on Christmas, so I do apologize for that, but because of this banishment fic I'm writing, it has indeed lit a fire under me and has brought my passion back to writing.

I'd Like to thank Natty as always for listening to me ramble on and looking over the chapter. Also, like to thank my now beta reader from Reddit named funny_cavalary, and thank you for giving me a couple of ideas on how to bring in two of the girls from the harem into the story, and a couple of other things I will not spoil. Also thank you to SoloStar2 from NarutoFanon site for allowing me to use there OC Pakura Arata, wondered upon her when I looked for more information on Pakura of the Sand

Also, I use Grammarly and for the most part, I'll let it do its suggested fixes so I do apologize if somethings are missing a comma.

I'm not like other authors, you don't need to leave a review, it won't demotivate me, but if you do, please don't be toxic or ask me to rush to get the next chapter out. It'll be out when I want it to be out =).

The end of 2020 is here, hopefully, 2021 will be better. Have a wonderful holiday, now party on dudes.
