Chapter 8: True Seal Master?

Naruto: Okay GAARA, Kankaro, Temari, you all ready to head home? I plan to drop you three off then head back here so I can start preparing for the future.

Gaara: That's fine Naruto. Before we leave though, I would like to thank you again for everything that you did for me and my village and to ask that question that I didn't get to ask earlier.

Naruto: That's fine GAARA, no worries. What are friends for, right? Anyways, I'll answer your question to the best of my abilities, so ask away!

Gaara: It's a bit embarrassing, but…but d..did I, you know… did I ever find happiness with someone?

Naruto: "GAARA…." Yes, yes you did. Do you want to know with who?

Gaara: (smiles) no, that's fine. I rather let things run its course and hopefully everything will work out again. Thanks Naruto, please take us home now.

Naruto: Of course. (smiles).

'Back in Konoha in the Hokages office'

Naruto: Hey granny, I'm baccc…. Pervy Sage, what are you doing here? If I remember correctly, the last time when we finished this mission you left the village and I never seen you after that.

Jiraiya: well hime here requested that I return home. Apparently my godson is not the same godson I went on a 3 year training trip with and is apparently some type of genius seal master. And what do you mean you never seen me after that?

Naruto: I will tell you later on what I meant about not seeing you again, but answer me this… Are you still trying to get with granny Tsunade Pervy Sage? (Man, I hope this time around they both find love in each other. I remember Jiraiya's death was hard on Tsunade)

Jiraiya: Okay and well, Naruto…..

Tsunade: JIRAIYA! Stop talking before I put you in the hospital!

Jiraiya: Riiight…. so um Naruto…. let's go for a walk to one of the training grounds so we can talk and get reacquainted, I guess since I am talking to someone who came from the future. That's still hard to believe though. You look just like you did when we were together.

Naruto: Sure Pervy Sage, lets go. I can tell you the seals I used on the Kazakage retrieval mission and how I became a Seal Master! I know what you mean, if I didn't go through my training in Uzu, I would never believe it myself that I'm from the future. Anyways, talk to you later Granny-Tsunade!

Tsunade: NARUTO! Stop calling me granny or like Jiraiya, you will end up in the hospital!

Naruto: Sorry Granny-Tsunade, but I'm not the same Naruto that you can pummel into the ground like before! If anything, I'm probably the strongest person in the world right now!

Tsunade: (NARROWS EYES) GET OUT OF MY OFFICE NARUTO AND TAKE THAT PERVERT OF A GODFATHER WITH YOU!

Naruto: Come on Pervy Sage, that's are que!

'Training Ground 7 with Naruto and Jiraiya'

Jiraiya: So Naruto, I spoke with both Tsunade and Kakashi and they informed of what you told them about coming from the future and how proficient you are with seals. Care to explain things to me?

Naruto: Of course! I will tell you everything since you are the person I trust the most sensei. There is one thing that I can't share with you, but if things go good this time around, then you will be the one who gets to meet them.

Jiraiya: Who's them?

Naruto: Well…. it's the people from Uzu (scratches the back of his head). But like I said, if everything goes good, then you will get to meet who I'm talking about!

Jiraiya: Fair enough. So, let's see these sealing skills they claim you have.

Naruto: No problem!

'Slams hand on the floor yelling: UZUMAKI STYLE: PRIVACY SEAL BARRIER'

Jiraiya: WHOA!

Jiraiya: (He did that seal with no hand signs or ink. Just like how Minato was able to place his Hiraishin by touch, Naruto can do the same. I wonder what else he can do.)

Jiraiya: You can use seals by touch just like Minato! I'm really impressed. Can you use them in combat like Mito was able to?

Naruto: Thanks Jiraiya that means a lot coming from you! As far as being able to use them in combat, yes I can. I am probably the only one alive that is able to do that, but don't worry, I plan to teach you how to do the same and get your sealing abilities up to snuff!

Jiraiya: Whoa, whoa, whoa… I'm a Level 10 Seal-Master. I think I'm up to "snuff" as you say.

Naruto: Sorry Sensei, but you're not. I don't know who came up with Level 10 being considered a Seal Master, but the person who trained me in the future was at Level 100 and you're not considered a Seal-Master until you can use seals in combat either by using ink and pen or by touch like I can use. Don't get me wrong, I still need to use ink and a scroll or some type of surface to apply seals, but for the most part, I can do the majority by touch. Almost as second nature.

Jiraiya: (MOUTH OPEN WITH WIDE EYES) YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THERE ARE MORE LEVELS THAN 10?

Naruto: Yes, but we will get to that another time. Did you notice the seal that I used to give us privacy?

Jiraiya: I did, but what does that have to do with anything? I can create the same seal, well not an Uzumaki privacy seal barrier, but I can create a privacy seal barrier.

Naruto: That's not the same sensei. Any Uzumaki seal is better than any ordinary seal. In a sense, the seal you can make is good, but it's also basic while the one I used is at least 20x stronger. It's like a water downed version of an Uzumaki seal. The seal I used has multiple functions other than just privacy and a barrier. The Uzumaki Privacy Barrier Seal creates a barrier that can only be broken by at least 4 S-Ranked Jutsu's hitting it at the same time, it causes a Genjutsu so strong that even if you have a doujustu you can't tell what's going on inside or see anything going on either just to name a few things it does.

Jiraiya: You're kidding, right!?

Naruto: No. Feel free to enter Sage Mode and use your strongest combination jutsu with Pa and Ma if you like, but I guarantee nothing will happen to the barrier, so I'd suggest you don't try and we get into what we came here for.

Jiraiya: (Turning serious) Fine. So start explaining.

Naruto: Okay. So for starters, I am Uzumaki Naruto. In a sense, I'm two different people yet the same at the same time. I'm Naruto from the future who returned after the shinobi world was destroyed. I'm the same Naruto you know and trained, I'm just Uzumaki Naruto from 4 years into the future returned to the past. The Akatsuki, who I'm sure you know about since you warned Kakashi about started the 4th Great Shinobi War not too far from now. They are actually making moves now and are trying to capture the Tailed-Beasts. They already have the One-Tails. In the future, all hidden villages form an Alliance with Gaara being the General of the Shinobi Army. Granny-Tsunade and the Raikage are the ones overseeing everything from headquarters. Things get bad, bad to where all 5 Kages had to join the fight only to die at the hands of Uchiha Madara.

Jiraiya: MADARA! YOU MEAN TO TELL ME HE IS STILL ALIVE? WAIT! What about me? So far you haven't mentioned anything about me. Do I play a role or major role in the war like avenge hime's death or something like that?

Naruto: Well yes and no. In regards to Madara, he was revived by the EDO Tensei Jutsu and then later revived as a regular human thanks to becoming the jinchuuriki of the Ten-Tails. As far as you go, I'm sorry sensei, you die before the war even starts, but thanks to you we were able to figure out the secret behind the Akatsuki leader and his powers. When I fought him, he had already destroyed our village. At that time I was out training with Ma and Pa and perfected Sage Mode. Ma was near the village and reversed summoned Pa, Gamabunta, Gamamichi and myself to the destroyed village where I took over the fight with their leader. After I destroyed all 6 of his bodies, I went to find the real leader. From what the leader of the Akatsuki told me, he said you were the first person to ever push him to his limits, and he can see that you trained me well since I did what no one was able to do, destroy all his bodies.

Jiraiya: So who was the leader?

Naruto: I rather not say now, but you'll know when we pay him a visit.

Jiraiya: If you don't want to tell me then that must mean it's someone that I know.

Naruto: Don't worry about it sensei, all will be revealed. Anyways, back to the war. I wasn't sure what was going on in the other battlefields, but Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi and I take on Madara, Obito the Ten-Tails and Otsutsiki Kaguya. We ended up winning, but the cost was too high. I was the only one left. I was the only one after everything was said and done. I traveled the world looking for survivors. I didn't find anyone else and was ready to give up. I was ready to release Kurama from his seal so he didn't die with me. Before anything though, there was one place I didn't look and that was my mom's homeland, the Village Hidden in the Whirlpools. This is where I ran into all the Uzumakis of the past. My great great Grandfather and the 1st Uzukage Uzumaki Ashina was the first person I saw and then the rest. I didn't understand it at first since I thought I was the last Uzumaki, turns out jiji was probably the best seal master to ever live. He created a combination seal of a Genjutsu and stasis seal. The Genjutsu was for the enemies who destroyed the Whirlpool village to believe they destroyed Uzushikure. The stasis portion placed them in a coma like state that was programed for them to awaken in a time of peace.

I really don't know how long they were awake for until I found them. My jiji trained me for 6 months in the ways of the Uzumakis and within those 6 months, I was able to master all 5 elements, became a master swordsman, a true seal master, Genjutsu master, a master at Taijutsu, and am a beast when it comes to Ninjutsu. I can summon Dragons since dragons where the summons of the Uzumakis and I am still able to summon Toads as well and if the situation calls for it, I can summon Kurama anywhere from his One-Tail state all the way up to his full power at Nine-Tails. After the completion of my training, jiji created the seal to send me back in time to fix things and to make sure we end up living in a world of peace.

Jiraiya: I'm speechless at the moment Naruto. I need some time to process everything you just told me.

Naruto: I understand sensei, take your time, but not too long though. I want to start your training with seals, Sage Mode and anything else you want to learn. I owe you everything and I want you to live this time around and I will do everything in my power to make sure that happens, and I never go back on my word!
