Chapter 13: Clan Heads, Scrolls and Summons

'After Naruto placed the Gravity Seals on everyone'

Now that I placed the seals on all of you, I want you all to know the following. 1.) I lied. As you get used to the weight, the seal will automatically increase on its own so it may feel like you never get any relief. Trust me, I went through the same training and still have my gravity seals active on me said Naruto.

"All stare at Naruto with shocked looks"

What level are your Gravity Seals up to Naruto, asked Jiraiya?

Well, last time I checked, I'm at 30 but I think they went up a bit and might be at 31 or 32 now.

"Tsunade, Jiraiya, Kakashi and Guy all share shocked expressions" Thi…thirty? That is unheard of said both a shocked Tsunade and Jiraiya!

That doesn't sound too special. I'm sure that Akamaru and I can do that much in no time, right boy said Kiba?

Kiba-Kun, the Gravity Seals that Naruto-Kun uses are different from the weights that Lee and I use. My weights are to assist with my physical strength and speed, whereas the seals do more and put more of a strain on the user. If not used wisely, they can crush one's own bones, organs and muscles that can instantly kill a user explained Guy.

What Guy said was exactly right Kiba, said Naruto.

Then if they are so dangerous, then why did you place them on us Naruto, asked a furious Kiba?

I was just getting to that Kiba. First let me explain how the seals work. If you ever feel that the weight you are experiencing is too much, you can form the "Rat Seal or say Fuin: Release" to return back to normal. To reactivate the seal, just apply chakra to your seal and it will activate to the level you were last at. With that said, the levels range from 1 to 50. The first level is triple of what your current weight is. Every level after that, it doubles.

So you mean to tell me you are currently over 8300 lbs asked a shocked Shikamaru?

"Scratches the back of his head" Yes, said an embarrassed Naruto.

WOW Naruto-Kun! Your Flames of Youth are truly brighter than my own! If I am unable to catch up to you in these two days, I will do 5000 one-handed pushups on each hand with my seal level at 50 yelled an excited Lee.

Lee, did you forget what Guy just said a few moments ago? These seals are dangerous which is why the seal I placed on everyone will gradually increase on its own when it feels you are able to handle the increase. I'm sure yours and Guys will increase faster than the others because of the weights you already use, but DO NOT do anything to the hamper with the seal. You will not like the outcome. That goes for everyone, is that understood said Naruto.

"All showing different emotions on their faces, hesitantly agreed."

Good. Now for the second reason I placed the seals you. My purpose was so it can help train your bodies by strengthen you muscles so you will have increased strength, speed and chakra control. I know some of you have good to near perfect chakra control already, but with the seals, this will make you control much better and for those that are medics, it will make your control second to none. You'll see what I mean after a week. For the mean time, I want all of you to use chakra to help reinforce your movements to help you move around, trust me, you're going to need it.

With the explanations out of the way, for training purposes, I don't want any of you to remove your seals unless you are no longer wanting to train with me or you are in a life or death situation. Choji, if you decide to join us with the training, come find me so I can apply the seals to you as well said Naruto.

Now that all that is out of the way, Hinata, Neji, lets head to your compound. I would like to speak to Hiashi first since I feel he will be my most troublesome Clan Head that I'm going to meet with. Plus there are things I would like to discuss about what you two seen in the scroll with him.

"With that said, Naruto disappears with Neji and Hinata in an Orange Flash shocking the others."

Did… did… was that the Hiraishin he just used, asked Jiraiya to no one specifically.

(Things are going to get interesting from now on thought Kakashi)

Come, Shizune, Jiraiya, lets head to my office to discuss things. Everyone else is dismissed, but be warned. Don't do anything to over exert yourselves. I don't want to see any of you in the hospital for chakra exhaustion, got it said/yelled Tsunade.

All chorused: HAI! Hokage-Sama!

"With that, everyone dispersed… well at least tried."

'With Naruto, Neji and Hinata at the Hyuga compound'

Ho…How did you do that Naruto-Kun asked Hinata?

I used my father's personal jutsu, the Hiraishin to transport us here replied Naruto.

If I'm not mistaken, that jutsu requires a seal marker in order to be transferred from one location to another. Does that mean you have your marker seals in our compound asked Neji while activating his Byakugan to scan the compound for Naruto's markers.

No. Let's just say I mastered my father's jutsu to a level he never was able to reach. Come, let's go see Hiashi, I want to get this over with said Naruto.

'In Hiashi's study'

So, Uzumaki-San, what is the meaning of this unscheduled visit asked the irritated Hyuga Clan-Head.

Well, without getting into too much details, I wanted to discuss this with you said Naruto as he tossed the Hyuga Scroll to Hiashi.

"Opening the scroll, Hiashi's eyes widen" HINATA, NEJI, Leave us said Hiashi as he's glaring at Naruto.

Hai! Said a struggling Hinata and Neji as they left the room.

"Still glaring at Naruto" How did you get this said a sneering Hiashi.

Long story short, it was given to me by my grandfather, Uzumaki Ashina. I'm not going to get into the specifics, you can ask the Hokage about that, but I will say that scroll you are holding is my property and as a curtesy, I am showing it to you and will let you know my intentions with it said Naruto.

"Activating his Byakugan" I would advise you to use caution in your tone when addressing me boy.

"Appearing behind Hiashi" and I would advise you to don't do anything stupid. I came to talk said Naruto as he reappeared back in his seat.

(How did he do that? I had my Byakugan active and I didn't see or sense any chakra build up coming from him thought a shocked Hiashi. I best use caution and see where this goes.)

In case you are wondering how I appeared behind you and reappeared back in my seat, well let's just say I'm not the dead last people thought I was. Shall we get on with why I am hear asked Naruto?

Tsk., fine. Why are you here Uzumaki.

Well, as I am sure you seen in the scroll, it has the history of the Hyugas, the level of Byakugan one can achieve, your clan's original fighting style and jutsu's incorporated with that style, your clan's summons, but most importantly the original use of the Caged-Bird Seal. I am here to let you know that I am taking both Neji and Hinata under my wing to train in your original clan ways in the hopes of hopefully awakening other levels of their Byakugan and restoring order to your clan by getting rid of the Branch-Families Caged-Bird seals said a serious Naruto.

(His stare is just as intense, if not worse than his fathers. Based on his posture, even though he looks relaxed, he's ready to attack or defend in a moment's notice. And that power that's coming off him. I never felt anything like it. He's dangerous thought Hiashi.)

Hinata and Neji struggling to leave just now, is that your doing, asked Hiashi?

Yes. I placed Gravity-Seals on the both of them as part of my training. Right now, they are experiencing 3x their own weight and in two days' time, I plan to continue with their training along with a few others said Naruto.

Interesting. Just like them, you're proficient with seals. How it is that no one in the village knows that about you? Also, what makes you think that I am going to just do away with the Caged-Bird Seal asked Hiashi?

By them, I am assuming you're referring to my parents. Just so you know, I surpassed my parents in everything, including seals. No one knows because I never knew how to do seals until recently. Long story, don't ask. Also, if you don't do away with the Caged-Bird seal, I will have Hinata do it as you are forced to step down as Clan-Head and she takes over said Naruto.

You have no authority to do such a thing yelled a furious Hiashi.

Oh, but I do. If you read the history of your clan, you'll see what I mean said a smiling Naruto.

….

Look Hiashi, I didn't come here to make threats. I came here with the hopes of working with you for the betterment of your clan. I will leave you to decide on how you want to move forward, but I want an answer from you by tomorrow. Also, do not try to copy that scroll. Based on your answer you give me tomorrow, I'll know how to proceed with what to do with the contents in it.

"Not waiting for Hiashi to reply, Naruto disappeared in a flash of dark orange"

(If what I seen so far is true, he does have the right. How come I never knew about this? I wonder if the elders knew and just never said anything. I'll talk to them later about this thought Hiashi out loud).

Hinata, Neji, you may come back in said Hiashi.

Father, where is Naruto-Kun?

He left and will return sometime tomorrow. When were the seals placed on you two asked Hiashi?

Not too long ago Hiashi-Sama. Naruto placed them on us after he beat Guy-Sensei, Hatake Kakashi, Sarutobi Asuma, Yuhi Kurenei, and Jiraiya of the Sannin in a sparring match. He placed them on us saying he was going to be training us from now on said Neji.

HE BEAT FOUR ELITE JOUNINS AND MASTER JIRAIYA yelled Hiashi!

Hai father. He did it easily too. Jiraiya-Sama was in his Sennin-Mode as well father, said Hinata.

Impossible!

We witnessed it, along with the Hokage Hiashi-Sama. Naruto is on a level beyond all of us. With your permission, I would like to take him up on his offer for training. He mentioned that he is currently on Level 30 with the Gravity-Seal he has on him. If he can move with the speed he shown with that much weight, I can't wait to see what I can do at that level, well, that is if it is okay with you Hiashi-Sama asked Neji.

Let me think about it. I will have my answer for the two of you later today. Neji, have you seen what is in the scroll?

Yes Hiashi-Sama. I didn't read everything, but I read enough said Neji.

I see. Know that I plan to discuss everything in the scroll with the elders here shortly. Until then, you two are dismissed.

Hai!

(I'm not looking forward to the conversation with the elders thought a frustrated Hiashi.)

'With Naruto'

(I really hope Hiashi or the Hyuga elders don't try anything stupid. Hmm, where should I head to next? Guess I'll hit up Shikamaru's home next thought Naruto as he flashed away reappearing in the Nara compound).

'Nara Compound'

"Knocks on Shikamaru's front door"

Um, hello miss. Is Shikamaru and his father home, asked Naruto?

Yes, come on in. They are both on the back porch expecting you. By the way, my name is Nara Yoshino, I'm Shikamaru's mother and it is finally nice to meet you Naruto. Shikamaru speaks highly of you.

"Embarrassed" It's a pleasure to finally meet you Yoshino-San. I didn't get the chance to meet you last time said Naruto. If you'll excuse me, I head out back now.

(Didn't get the chance to meet me last time, I wonder what he meant by that thought Yoshino.) No problem Naruto, just holler if you need anything.

'Back porch with Shikaku, Shikamaru and Naruto'

Hey Shikamaru, glad to see you were able to make it back home from the training grounds. I figured you would still be there asleep or something said a jokingly Naruto.

It would have been too troublesome to have stayed there. Plus I would have gotten hungry so I just decided to try and make it home no thanks to you. It was the most labor intense thing that I've done in my whole life said Shikamaru. What a drag…

"Both Naruto and Shikaku are laughing at Shikamaru's expense".

So Naruto, Shikaramu tells me you have some information regarding our Clan that you would like to discuss with me asked Shikaku.

Yes I do Nara-San. Here, take a look at this scroll. Once done, we can discuss it said Naruto handing the scroll to Shikaku.

"Naruto and Shikamaru are just staring at the ever changing facial expressions coming from Shikaku. It was funny to the two of them to see."

This is very interesting and troublesome Naruto. How did you come across all this information on my Clan asked Shikaku?

Well Nara-San, I actually inherited it from my grandfather, Uzumaki Ashina. Being the Jounin Commander, I will let you know more than I plan on telling the other Clan-Heads. I come from the future, 4 years from now to be exact. After our world was destroyed, I came across the last known survivors, my clan, the Uzumaki's. I'm not going to get into the specifics, but just know they survived the attack that everyone thought destroyed them. Anyways, I trained with my grandfather for a while. During my time there, he was working on a seal that was going to send me back in time to change ours and their future which brings me to our present conversation. I plan on training your son and a few others to create a first response task force to eliminate the threat to the shinobi world. That scroll you have is yours to do what you like depending on how you answer my question said Naruto.

That's a lot to take in, you know that right? But I will take you word for it and believe you mean no harm to our village, especially after what Shikamaru said you did to you Jiraiya-Sama and the other four Jounins. Whats your questions Naruto asked Shikaku?

Thank you for placing your trust in me Nara-San. As for my question. What do you plan to do with the knowledge I just provided you asked Naruto?

Well, first, it looks like I will have to address the elders of my clan, troublesome. Second, I would like to incorporate our old traditions. Everything listed seems to have a better balance as far as the way things were ran back in the old days that our generation seems to have forgotten. Next, I would like to implement training to all my clan members so that they are proficient in our clan techniques to at least an understanding of them and are able to use them if the need ever arises. Regarding our summons, I will allow Shikamaru to sign the contract if our summons feel he is worthy enough. Other than that, I don't plan to do nothing else with the knowledge given. I do want to update our history books so our Clan history is never forgotten and is accurate said Shikaku.

"Smiles" Then the scroll is yours to do as you please Nara-San. When you start your clan's training with the fuinjutsu portion, look for me or have Shikamaru let me know. I will gladly train you and your clan with seals personally said Naruto.

Thank you Naruto. I plan to use the information I now have wisely. And when the time comes for the fuinjutsu training, I will be sure to request your aid said Shikaku.

I know you will. Oh Shikamaru, a bit of advice. When you meet your Clans summons, don't show any fear! See you in two days Shika, Nara-San, it was a pleasure speaking with you Naruto said as he vanished in a flash of dark orange.

Troublesome. What do you know about our summons dad asked Shikamaru?

Nothing. To be honest, I never knew our clan had a summons, and Panthers on top of that. It was said that they are a very powerful summons who are shadow users like us. It makes sense that they would be our summons said Shikaku.

You know anything else about them?

No. Let me know when you want to meet them Shikaku said as he walked away heading back into the house.

(Great. I guess I'll wait to see how the training goes before I meet them. I'll see if Naruto knows anything else about the panthers that I can use to my advantage when I meet them. Guess I'll go watch some clouds now thought Shikamaru).

'With Naruto walking the streets of Konoha'

(Well, that went easier than I thought. I hope the rest of the Clan-Heads are the same… speaking of Clan-Heads, who should I go see next? I guess I can go visit Ino's dad. The jutsu I used to show everyone my memories was similar to theirs and she might have questions about it, if not, I'm sure she already mentioned it to her father. She is known as the gossip queen after all thought Naruto as he flashed away to Ino's clan's compound.)

'Yamanaka Compound'

Umm, Ino. What are you doing on the floor asked Naruto?

YOU! YOU ARE THE REASON I AM ON THE FLOOR NARUTO said a screaming Ino. Why the hell did I agree to this? I can barely move. I barely made it to the outside of my compound. I've been here for the past fifteen minutes and my dad just laughed as he left me here. Said something about it doing me some good.

"Scratches the back of his head" Sorry about that Ino. It gets easier. Just keep using chakra to help your movements. Is your father in by the way? I want to talk to him about the scroll said Naruto.

I shouldn't let you in Naruto, I'm still pissed about not being able to move… but I told him about the jutsu used and how similar it was to our clan's techniques. I also mentioned the scroll and he said to let you in once you arrive. He's in his study I think, go on in.

Thanks Ino. I'll see you in two days. Before I go though, here's a bit of advice to get used to the weight. Apply chakra every other step as you walk. Your body will get used to the weight faster that way. See you later Naruto said as he walked in to the compound heading to the main house.

(He definitely looks different now that I'm actually paying attention to him. Being the son of the fourth Hokage, he's practically royalty. I wonder if he would go out on a date with me thought a blushing Ino as she stared at Naruto as he walked away).

'Inoichi's Study'

"Naruto knocks on Inoichi's study"

Come in!

Ah, Naruto. Ino told me you would be coming. Hope she didn't give you an earful from the gravity seals you placed on her? Is she still out front on the floor asked Inoichi.

"Scratches the back of his head embarrassed". She yelled at me as soon as she seen me. And yes, she is still out front on the floor. I gave her some tips that will hopefully help her move around better said a laughing Naruto.

Thank you for that. I keep telling her that she should take her training serious but always gives me a hard time said a frustrated Inoichi.

Well don't worry Inoichi-San, I plan on training them into the ground. I plan on starting hers and the others training in two days. I want them to get somewhat used to the gravity seals that I placed on them. I think, once we officially start, she will come around once she sees what she can potentially do said Naruto.

What do you mean?

Well, right before we actually start the training, I plan on releasing the gravity seals for a while. I want their bodies to get used to having the weight on and off. I think that once she sees the speed and chakra control she gains just after having them on for two days, her perspective will change. Well I hope that everyone's will said Naruto.

Interesting. I think that might work. As much as it pains me to say, she needs a kick in the butt to get motivated to train. If your methods help, then I'm all for it said a smiling Inoichi.

That's the plan! Shall we get to the reason on why I came to see you Inoichi-San?

Yes Naruto, let's get to it. Ino mentioned that you showed them your memories and the jutsu you used was similar to one of my Clan's techniques. How is it that you know how to use that type of jutsu? Ino also mentioned that you showed her a scroll that has information about our Clan, but she didn't say anything else. Care to explain things?

Sure Inoichi-San. First off, the technique I used wasn't a Yamanaka Clan jutsu. So need to worry that I am stealing any of your Clan's secrets. Second, here is the scroll that Ino mentioned, take a look at it for yourself.

"Forty minutes later"

Naruto, how did you come across this? This has information about my clan that I didn't even know about, not to mention we have a summons.

Well Inoichi-San, to make this short, it was given to me by a family member. I was actually given scrolls on pretty much every clan that is in Konoha and the other Villages in the Elemental nations. Like I said to Shikaku-San, you can have the scroll depending on your answer to my question said a serious Naruto.

(That stare, so intense just like his father's when he got serious). Shouldn't this scroll be mine anyways? It is information about my Clan after all.

No, it actually belongs to me. You are only able to see the contents because I am allowing it. If you tried to read what is in it without my permission, let's just say something nasty will happen to you. And please don't take that as a threat Inoichi-San. I am just giving a warning. The reason why I said the scroll belongs to me is because everything that is in it was record by clan. They were in a sense the unofficial recorders of history. That scroll has everything about your Clan up to the date of my Clans "destruction".

How do we not know of this? I mean of your Clan recording history like what's in this scroll. Then, not to mention the summons. Did your Clan always have our contract? I mean, I knew we had one, just never knew what it was or who was the last one to wield it.

Like you read in the scroll, my Clan ended up with the summoning scroll for safe keeping. That is the case with most of the other Clans. As far as anyone knowing about my Clan recording history, yes people knew but the ones that did are no longer alive and haven't been for a good while. For you not knowing, I can't answer that. Like most things though, they tend to get lost in history and with time, is forgotten. Shikaku-San tends to fix that and update his Clans records with the scroll I gave him, which brings me to my question. If I give you this scroll, what are your intentions, what do you plan to do with the information given you?

To be honest Naruto, it's hard to answer your question. As a man, I don't feel that I should have all the knowledge that is in that scroll. On the other hand, as Clan head I see all the benefits having it would do for my Clan. If I were any of the elders of my Clan, I know that they would try and use the information to their advantage, and not for the betterment of our Clan. With that said, I don't think that I am worthy of having all the knowledge of what's in that scroll. May I make a suggestion?

Sure, what do you have in mind Inoichi-San?

Well, if you are okay with it, I would like to be able to access my Clan's history so I can update our current records. I would also like to have access to the summoning contract again. As far as the techniques, I don't feel we are ready to have something like that. It can be too tempting for people in my Clan to use them to their advantage and take advantage of others. I don't want my Clan to go down in history like that.

"Smiles" Well said Inoichi-San. You are an honorable man and Clan-Head. Most would jump at the opportunity presented to them. Because of the type character you displayed, you can have the scroll and everything that is in its contents. However, because of your concerns, I will make it so certain information can only be accessed when both you or the Clan-Head and I agree to it. How's that sound Inoichi-San?

"Stands up and bows towards Naruto" I am deeply honored that you would trust me with the information that is in that scroll Naruto. And I can agree to your terms. Thank you.

No problem Inoichi-San! I'm going to take the scroll for now and return it later once I place the security seals on it. See you later! "With that, Naruto flashes away".

(So he knows his father's technique. He's always full of surprises. He would make a good husband for Ino. I wonder if we can arrange something. Speaking of Ino, I guess I'll go get her now. I let her suffer enough. I wonder what she's going to say when I let her be the first in a long time to sign the Dragon Fly's summoning contract, thought Inoichi).

'With Naruto walking the streets of Konoha'

(Since I'm close, I guess I'll visit the Akimichi's and finish up with the Ino-Shika-Cho trio. Hopefully Choji would have changed his mind, but if not, that's okay. I think I remember him wanting to be a chef or something?)

"Lost in his thoughts, Naruto wasn't aware he was standing in front of the Akimichi Compound."

Hello? Uzumaki-San? (Waving a hand in front of his face), Are you okay? Is there something that you need asked the Akimichi member that is on guard duty.

Huh, oh sorry Akimichi-San. I got lost in my thoughts and didn't realize I arrived. I am actually here to see Choji and his father please said Naruto.

Of course Uzumaki-San, please follow me. We were instructed to escort you to Choza-Sama's study. They're expecting you.

Really? Okay, no problem. Lead the way Akimichi-San.

'A few minutes later'

Ahh, Naruto. Welcome, please come in and have a seat said Choza.

Thank you Akimichi-San. Did Choji mention that I was going to stop by? I don't want to be intruding said Naruto.

Nonsense Naruto. A friend of Choji is always welcomed in the Akimichi Compound. Would you like anything to eat or drink? And please call me Choza.

Thank you Akim... I mean Choza. I am fine, but thank you for the offer. Will Choji be joining us or will it be just the two of us?

For now, it's just the two of us. I wanted to talk to you first. Once were done with our business, he'll join us.

Okay. I'm not sure what exactly Choji has mentioned to you, but here, take a look at this scroll. I t's what I wanted to talk to you about.

"Takes the scroll and starts reading" Naruto, I'm sure you're getting asked the same questions and must be tired of answering the same things after the Clan-Head reads whats in the scroll, but I'm sorry, I have to ask. WHERE DID YOU FIND THE AKIMICHI COOK BOOK asked an excited Choza?

"Sweat drops" No offense, but out of everything you could have asked, you asked me that Choza?

Sorry Naruto, but I don't think you understand what it is you have here. The Akimichi Cook book is something that is highly sought out by people in all of the Elemental Nations. We thought it was just a legend because it was never found. It is said that the recipes that are in this book have no equal and because it was lost, that is how we Akimichi's came to eat so much now a days. The recipes in this book help us maintain our calories that we convert to chakra with just a regular normal sized meal. It is rumored that our ancestors where thin but when the book was lost, we gained the weight that you see most Akimichis with now because we are constantly eating to have the necessary calories we need to convert to chakra to be able to use our techniques easier and last longer than we are currently able to maintain.

Wow, when I seen the cook book in there, I didn't think anything of it and passed it off as just another recipe book Choza. Well if anything, I definitely want you have it said Naruto.

What do you mean by that Naruto?

Well, as I did with Hiashi, Shikaku and Inoichi, I asked them all a question and based on their answer is whether I gave them the scroll or not. In your case, I'm not going to keep the cook book from you, but I might keep the scroll based on your response.

Fair enough. What's your question Naruto?

"With a serious expersion" If I were to give you the scroll Akimichi-San, what do you plan to do with it and the knowledge it contains asked Naruto?

(He turned serious in the blink of an eye. He's tenser than what his father was). Well to be honest Naruto, I don't plan to do much with it. If given to me, I plan to present it to the Clan and leave it up to them if they want to learn anything from it. As the Clan-Head, I plan to at least learn and master a few of our Clan techniques to be able to pass onto the next generation. I also plan to update our Akimichi history records. As far as our Summoning Contract goes, I would like to summon our summons and allow them to choose who they feel is worthy to summon them. From what our records currently say, only one person has ever been considered worthy of the Bear contract. Maybe someone currently in my clan is worthy? I don't know, but will find out if you were to give me the scroll. Since you plan on letting us have the cook book already, I just want to let you know that I plan on passing it onto our Clans main cooks so they can master and implement the recipes into our regular diets.

"Smiles" Well said Choza-San. Spoken like a true Clan-Head would and puts his clan before his own interests. I now know where Choji gets it from. Here, use what's in this scroll wisely Choza-San.

Thank you Naruto-San, I plan too! Let me call Choji so we can all talk a little. He told me that he didn't get the gravity seals like everyone else did but didn't say much after that. I'm curious as to why he didn't when everyone else did. Give me a minute while I call him.

No problem.

'Few minutes later, Choza walks back into his study with Choji'

Hey Choji! I just got done speaking to you dad about the scroll I showed you earlier and now that all that is done with, I wanted to see if you changed your mind about taking me up on the training I offered?

Hey Naruto, well, to be honest I'd like a little bit of more time to think it over. After I seen what you were able to do, I don't doubt that I would get stronger under you and that's what is holding me back from saying yes at the moment. Knowing what I can possibly become and possibly hurt others is what scares me said Choji.

(He's still the same kind hearted kid I met all those years ago playing "Ninja") Choji, you are still the kindest person I have ever known. Always putting everyone before you, that heart of yours is your true strength Choji and it showed when you went into your Butterfly Mode and protected everyone. It was something than many witnessed… your true strength! It's getting late and I'm going to get going now. Choza-San, it was a please speaking with you and when you summon the Bears to look for a worthy summoner, be sure Choji is there. Something tells me he will be the one chosen. Ja'ne!

"With a flash of Dark Orange, Naruto was gone leaving Choza and Choji in his study"

(Butterfly Mode? I wonder if what Naruto was referring to was a chakra manifestation of butterfly like wings. I'll have to ask him when I see him next. And when was this that others witnessed it thought Choza). That Naruto seems to know a lot about you Choji. He seems like a good friend said Choza.

"Smiles" He is dad. You hungry? I'm starved, let's get something to eat. I think I came to my decision regarding the training, but I want to get something in my stomach before I make my decision final said Choji.

"With that, both the Akimichis left to get to eat".

'With Naruto'

(Let's see, that's four out of the way. I still need the Auburme's, Inuzukas and the rest without a Clan to go over stuff with. I guess I can continue with all that tomorrow morning. I'm hungry and tired. Guess I'll make a pit stop at Ichiraku's then head home thought Naruto as he flashed away in a bright orange this time)

'Ichiraku's'

Hey Old Man Teuchi, Ayame! Can I have the Asami Special please asked Naruto?

Naruto, we don't have anything on our menu called the Asami special said Ayame.

That's not quite true Ayame. Naruto, where did you hear about the Asami special from? No one has asked for that in a very, very long time said Teuchi.

Well, let's just say a bird named Asami told me recently when I asked for her family recipe to bring back with me to have you make. I didn't know that you already had their recipe and am curious as to why it's not on your menu Old Man asked Naruto.

Naruto… how… how did you know that? I haven't seen them since the destruction of… well of the place they came from said Teuchi.

Father, what are you and Naruto talking about?

We're talking about the people where our family learned how to make ramen from Ayame. I'm just not sure how Naruto knows about this.

Well old man, let's just say I've been in contact with them and have visited my mother's home land. I've eaten Asami's ramen for the past six months and I miss it!

How is that possible Naruto? You've been eating our ramen this whole time. Are you going to anther ramen stand asked Ayame?

So you know. I'm sorry Naruto. I wanted to tell you everything, especially since your mother was our number one customer next to you. And if you visited her homeland, then you know of its destruction. How was it that you were able to eat Asami's ramen if they have all been dead for quite some time now?

Well, it's a long story. And thank you. I'm sure my mom would have appreciated you telling me but I know that you couldn't due to the stupid law placed by the Third Hokage. I don't take it personal. I'm just glad you always gave me a place to eat in a friendly environment. As to how I was able to eat Asami's ramen, I can't tell you that yet, but I will, I promise said Naruto.

You two are acting strange and are confusing me said an irritated Ayame.

"Both Naruto and Teuchi laugh at Ayame's expense".

Ayame, just meet me in the back to get started on the Asami Special. It's time I show you how to make ramen the Uzumaki Clan would be proud of! We'll be back shortly Naruto.

"Thirty Bowls later". Thank you Teuchi, Ayame. That ramen was AMAZING! I'm going to get going now, but I will see you two tomorrow for dinner! Be ready to make me at least 30 more bowls!

"Before either of them can say anything, Naruto was gone in a Flash of Bright Orange"

Father, you two were strange tonight. Care to fill me in on what the two of you were talking about?

Well Ayame, long story short, Naruto knows of his parents and his Uzumaki heritage it seems. I no longer have to feel guilt whenever he comes to our shop to eat. I can finally share stories of his mother and father with him. I've been looking forward to this day for a very long time said Teuchi.

That still didn't really answer my question dad.

I'll explain more when we get home. Come, let's clean up so we can close and head home.

Okay. But when we are home, I expect you tell me everything.

"With that, the Ichiraku's got to cleaning their ramen stand".

'With Naruto'

(Man, that Ramen hit the spot! After that, I really miss Asami. I wonder if she's okay. I guess I'll know when we take care of the looming threat and I get to see her and the rest of the Clan again. Time to go home and get some rest. Tomorrow is going to be another long day thought Naruto as he flashed away to his apartment).

End of Chapter 13

A/N: So I've been thinking a lot on who was going to get a summons or not and what would that clan be able to summon. Here is my break down, but please know, it can still change.

Uzumaki – Dragons (Naruto – Toads, Foxes, and Dragons)

Senju – Phoenix (Tsunade – Slugs. Not sure if I will have her sign the phoenix contract or if she will pass it down to one of her apprentice(s))

Nara – Panthers (mainly for their stealth in shadows)

Yamanaka – Dragon Fly (Good with illusions / transcendence per native American beliefs)

Akamichi – Bears

Haruno – No contract, will sign with Slugs later on in story, maybe

Hyugas – I'm torn with this one. I might do Tigers, Owls or Gecko's (gecko's in Native American culture, geckos are believed to have night vision and 350 times better eye sight making them perfect for the byukgan.) Undecided still.

Hatake – Dogs (already has)

Auburme – Praying Mantis (thought this will help them with their hand to hand combat skills)

Jiraiya – Toads

Shizune – Otters (playful, prognostication, women medicine in Native American culture)

Inuzukas – Wolfs

Lee / Guy – Turtles

Yuhi Kurenei – Nothing as of right now.

Sarutobi – Monkeys

Tenten – Not sure. Was thinking of giving her an Armadillo or a way to summon weapons other than by her scrolls, not sure yet though.

There will be other summons introduced in my story, but not until a later time. For the time being, the ones mentioned above is what I'm going to be introducing soon. Till next time, ja'ne!
