CHAPTER 3; SNAKE HUNT AND JOINING AKATUSKI

2, 1/2 years later

Naruto age: 21

Hidan (female, for all those who haven't quite figured it out) age: 22

Fuka age: 10 (same as Sasuke and the Konoha 12 with neji, tenten & lee being 1 year older)

Itachi age: 18

Minato age: 45

Kushina/Mikoto age: 44

"AWWWWW FUCK, NARUTO I TAKE BACK WHAT I SAID EARLIER I NEED A HAND!" screamed Hidan as she watched her left leg and right arm be removed from her body.

Naruto who was sitting on a floating carpet sighed and stepped off it while stretching called "You know I sometimes wonder how you survived this long and made an S rank status, but then I have to remind myself you're immortal..."

"OI fuck you, stop acting all bored and aloof for once and actually show that you care, cause I know you do you red headed barstard!." said Hidan with puffed out cheeks as she lost her balance and landed on her back on Naruto's flying carpet that had appeared behind her.

slowly walking forward naruto put his hands in his pockets and said over dramatically "Yes dear, I'll make him pay for cutting your arm and leg off"

Hidan now in the process of sewing her leg back on while watching her partner blushed faintly 'I could get used to him calling me dear...urrgh eww where did that... 2 and a half years wow must have a pretty good bond now I wonder if...no never mind...this relationship is merely business.' "Well good hurry up cause I'm starving and your buying me dinner with your share of this guys bounty."

Naruto raised a brow but shook his head opting to file it away for after he sorted out this troublesome ronin bounty hunter that has a substantial amount on his head 27 million ryo.

Said Ronin was looking at the two and sweat dropped 'man are these guys serious I get that there S ranked shinobi and there partnership has traveled through the black market but come on, I cut her leg and arm off for fuck sakes surely that would have hurt her and then theres Naruto the scarier of the two if thats possible...alright enough if I'm going down then I'm going down swinging and hopefully taking this ass hat with me.'

"ARRRRRHH" he screamed as he charged at low jonin speeds at Naruto who merely stood a little slouched with his hands holstered in his pockets, ducked under the first swing of the ronins sword, before leaning left then right dodging the strikes aimed at him, the Ronin then aimed at Naruto's chest but again Naruto effortlessly lent back a little.

the ronin seeing he wasn't going to get anywhere jumped back and went back to observing his opponent.

'I wha...he didn't move from the spot he was on' ranted the ronin.

Naruto gained a hidden smirk and thought 'lets end this' and as he said that a large golden chain burst out his chest and slammed into the chest of the ronin in less than 5 seconds of it being summoned forth.

the ronin just stood there shocked as he stared at the chain that was impaled through his chest, directly straight through his heart. he managed to raise his head and look at his killer one last time before falling to his knee and lean forward slightly dead.

closing his eyes Naruto recalled his chakra chains an ability he has kept secret since he was 15 sighed as he watched the body fall on the dusty path kicking a bit of dust up, turning to Hidan who was struggling to sew her arm back on. Walking over to her he gently took the needle and thread from her grasp like he had done so many times before mainly after a sparring match, knelt on the carpet and willed it over to the corpse of the ronin while concentrating on sewing Hidans arm back on properly.

Hidan for her part watched Naruto holding her with a noticable blush like everyother time he does this for her closed her eyes and breathed out. Opening her wine purple eyes she gazed at Naruto and said as she watched as some of the carpet threads hoisted the body onto the end of the carpet which then rolled up securing its load said "Naruto...?"

Naruto who was nearly done nodded his head "Mmmhmm...yes?"

Hidan taking her cue spoke "we've been together what 2 and half years now as partners watching each others back right?"

"Yes carry on" said Naruto who was wondering where this conversation was headed.

"Well I wanted to know if you saw me more as a friend or a business partner, or maybe more" she all but whispered the last part but Naruto just managed to pick it up.

Sighing as he finished the last stitch and tied it off made himself more comfortable on the carpet "Well in the beginning I only saw you as a business partner and a means to an end, but over the first few months you grew on me and I would say after the first oh 8 months I started seeing you as a friend and still do." he didn't add anything about her last little bit about her being something more than a friend, since he wasn't sure if he was supposed to of heard that and to be frank he wasn't sure at the moment if his feelings for her were more than just that of good friends.

Hidan hearing she was his friend and may have a chance smiled one of her very rare smiles that wasn't a sadistic or a cocky smirk nor was it a mischivious grin that she got when she was planning some kind of torture or a prank that could be considered torture that she would then try and ensnare naruto in, who hadn't fallen foul of one to date. Not that it put Hidan off no, no, no she kept trying vowing one day to be successful.

Seeing her smile, Naruto gave her a calm and gentle smile that he usually reserved for his mother or sister when he was in the leaf.

After a minute silence and being the talkative girl she is said "You know I've known you for two years now and you still haven't told me about your life in the leaf or why you killed the Uchiha clan and the civilian and elder councils."

Naurto seeing Hidan's blatant attempt to get to know him more smirked "you really want to know don't you?"

Hidan hearing his question nodded eagerly, Sighing Naruto lent back on the carpet resting on his elbows "my life in the leaf hmm let me see, It was good graduated the academy at six, chunin at 7, tokujo at 10 and then 11 I was offered to be part of a secret sect of shinobi that only the choosen members and Hokage know about they were called shadow op's and they did S-SSS ranked missions. Hmm what else I was an only child until I turned ten then my mother got pregnant with my baby sister Fuka."

Hidan hearing he had a baby sister smiled but had to wonder 'an elite shinobi at 10...man I think I was in my last year of the hotsprings academy...'

Naruto then turned to look at Hidan "I would rather not talk about why I became a missing ninja since some of the things that one of the parties said makes my stomach crawl just thinking about it. Your turn."

Hidan hearing that let her eyes widen in surprise that something had managed to get that reaction out of him before regerstering what he said at the end.

leaning back so she was in the same position as Naruto, Hidan looked at her surroundings before looking straight up "hummmmm, well when I was five my parents were murdered by some foreign ninja from the land of lightning, I wasn't with them at the time I was at a friends house playing. But when I returned home I was met by a preistess of Jashin who presided over the ritual to make me immortal honestly I can't remember much of the ritual but what I do remember is lots of blood.

next thing I know is that I was told the pristess that saved me was going to be my master and guardian, life was alright I guess when I wasn't eating or sleeping I would be either training in the various techniques that are used by the followers of jashin which includes the ritual of immortality or I would be attending the Yugakure shinobi academy.

that was fine but I ended up having no friends by the time I graduated at 11 but I was the powerfulest in my class so I was good, I turned chunin a year later, never got to jonin since Yugakure deterioted to the point of becoming a tourist attraction, Now I know the bingo books say I killed a whole load of people but in actuallity I jus killed the village leader and some top ranking officials and I butchered the other whorshippers of Jashin-sama, which is why I am a labelled S rank criminal."

Naruto looked at her not expecting her to actually pour her heart out to him and tell him everything since she wasn't that sort of person. smiling he looked up at the sky too "well it seems both our lives aren't the most pleasent but that is the past and the past is where it belongs and now all we can do is look to the future."

Hidan nodded and stood up on the floating and moving carpet as it followed the path they were on at a moderate walking pace, stretching a little she looked down at him to see him sitting upright and crosslegged said "Speaking of future I chose the last mission. It's your turn to chose so where to?"

Naruto closed his eyes and said quietly "We're going to go to the land of rice and to kill me a snake."

Hidden leaf village.

standing in a training field that lay in the shadow of the hokage monument the sound of steel clashing with steel and the dull thud of flesh on flesh reverberated throughout the area. In the training ground to any treehopping shinobi that was passing by they would have seen a strawberry blonde girl and a black haired boy fighting in tandem and unison against a firey red headed woman that had several chakra chains swaying dangerously around her.

Said red head seeing the two huffing and puffing since she had kept them on the ropes and pushed them in their sparring lesson for the last half hour smirked victoriously 'well...if Naruto's defection did one thing it would be that he sparked Fuka's passion and determination to never give up and surprisingly the same with Sasuke I mean I know Naruto trained him a little but to think before the massacres it was boarderline hero whorship...hmph never mind but I know just the way to goad them hehehe.' "Oh Fukaaaa-chaaannn, Sasukee-kuuuuunnn, hope that isn't all you got because this level will never be good enough to best..."

she didn't even need to say his name and just as she thought Fuka gained a look of rightious fury and Sasuke gave a very ugly looking sneer which was followed by a few hand signs and a yell of futon/katon Renkūdan/Gōkakyū no Jutsu as the words left their mouths a compressed air bullet and large fireball collided with each other creating a large inferno that headed right for Kushina.

Kushina seeing the fireball nodded her head before clasping her hands in a fist in front of her "Uzumaki hijutsu: chenbaria sabishi otome (uzumaki secret technique: chain barrier of the lonely maiden)" the chakra chains as if answering her will created a criss crossed wall in front of her and held back the combination attack. after a minute of holding the attack back Kushina willed the edges of the chained barrier to curl inwards and start to create a cucoon around the fireiy mass and started to make it srink in size as its oxygen supply ran out until nothing was left.

retracting the chains back to their original positions she looked to see sasuke flat on his back breating heavily and Fuka kneeling beside him breathing just as heavily. seeing they were pretty much spent she cancelled her chakra chains and walked over to them "You guys did good...now how about we get you both home and cleaned up afterall today is the festival to remember previous and fallen Kage of the village."

Sasuke could only manage grunt and Fuka just nodded her head 'dam it no matter how hard I train big brother always seems to be walking further away into a setting sun on the horizon, what was your secret Nii-sama" standing up she was about to offer sasuke help but was caught by surprise when Itachi, Sasukes brother and her surrogate brother appeared and picked Sasuke up by the back of his shirt and looked him in the eye to which Sasuke just puffed out his cheeks "Well my foolish little brother it seems as if I have to carry you home...again"

Sasuke at his point crossed his arms and looked away with an indignant look said with an annoyed tone "well if don't train hard enough we won't be able to bring Fuka-chans big brother back and get our answers"

Kushina who was kneeling next to Fuka and using shosun justsu to heal some of her minor scratches she got silently giggled at the two boys interaction but stopped slightly when she felt Fuka freeze a little at Itachi statement.

"Sasuke let me part with some wise words that Naruto once told me yes training hard makes a good ninja but what makes a truly great ninja is knowing your limits and not showing off...understand Sasuke." said Itachi with a smile.

Sasuke nodded "Yeah I think I do by knowing my limits and reaching them each time I train my limits slowly increase steadily without realising it...that is right big brother"

Itachi nodded and looked at Kushina "Thank you for training Sasuke tonight, tomorrow mother said she would be able to train the two"

Kushina smiled "No problem Itachi-kun, tell Mikoto to put them through the ringer for me"

Itachi smirked and disappeared in a puff of smoke with Sasuke.

Fuka seeeing them gone looked at her mother "Mama, Naruto nii-chan told me exactly the same thing in a letter with shadow clone technique is that really how big brother got strong by knowing his limits and pushing them higher and higher?"

Kushina smiled and pulled her into a hug "Fuka, your brother even though I loved him dearly was different he never asked for anything unless it was nessesary, never taking anything for granted and training everyday, he also didn't care for anyone other than me, you and Minato. Now don't get me wrong Naruto loved the village truly he did but what he loved were the ideals and beliefs the village was founded on not the actual people what he loved were the philosphies the will of fire that the third and first hokages always preached, teamwork, loyalty, justice and pride in ones village that the second hokage banged on about constantly and then theres our Uzumaki heritage which preaches self sacrifice for ones village and family."

Fuka hearing that nodded her head since she had learn't all that over the last couple of years during her academy theory lessons. was about to say something but noted her mother had a glassy look in her eyes as she remembered something and started muttering it out load enough for Fuka to hear.

"Yes how did I not see it, his last message the one we found scratched into the wall of his room '私は誰もがそう愛する保持している火の意志を保護していているようにすることを通じて、私は私の村に私の自己犠牲、誇りと忠誠心を示し、この正義を通して、私たちの敵をダウン打つ正義のハンマーです。これまで彼らは私の行動の背後にある真実を求める際に1日、彼らはそれらを取得し、私の強大なパワーに落ちないように、よりこの列車難しく読みすべての人をしてみましょう'

('I am the hammer of justice that strikes down our enemies. through this justice I show my self sacrifice, pride and loyalty to my village, through doing so I have have protected the will of fire that everyone holds so dear. Let all those who read this train harder than ever before so that one day when they seek the truth behind my actions, they will obtain them and not fall to my mighty power.')

the answer we're looking for is in the message, who was the enemies well in this case the council and Uchiha clan but what did they do. His self sacrifice leaving the village possible, murdering all those people no they were guilty, or maybe threatening Fuka and challenging her, his pride and loyalty were shown now I'm not sure on that. same with the will of fire part. The last part is easy to figure out if your strong enough to beat him he will grant you with the answers to why he did what he did, but at the same time if we figure out the riddle he has left we wouldn't have to fight him unless there is a piece missing and only he knows the truth...sigh...you really were good and confusing people."

Fuka the whole time was listening to her mother who was arguable one of the better people who wasn't in the cipher corp at cracking code was using her edict memory thanks to the nine tails who she met already but that was merely a formality just to introduce each other and it must of worked since she could now think clearer and was a lot calmer now, that and it blatantly stated he wouldn't suffer having a weak container that and he expressed a lot of joy in the act her brother did in killing all the Uchiha, which she put down to his destructive nature for all things to do with death and chaos, anyway she memorised everything her mother said and made a mental note to write the message and show Shikamaru tomorrow.

Kushina who was faking her whole dazed look smirked inwardly 'Well Fuka show me and your father what you plan on doing with that little bit of information.'

seeing she was ready to go Kushina bought her into a hug and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Arriving back at their home Kushina sent Fuka upstairs to get ready while she did the same.

Next day.

Sprawled across one of the lavish couches in the Hokage's office Kushina looked at Minato (regular occurance when she's bored) and started the conversation "You know you won't have to waste any more resources on solving that riddle Naruto-kun left for us I mean two and a half years and our top ciphers have only figured out that his enemies were the Uchiha and the council and have come up with several theories to the self sacrifice, Loyalty and pride part as well as the will of fire line and last bit about seeking him out if you are strong enough and obtaining answers we seek or..."

"...Fall by my mighty power" they finished in unison.

Minato frowned slightly at what Kushina said knowing he knew why Naruto may have gone after the Uchiha but couldn't since it was SSS class secret hell even Tsunade and Jiraiya didn't know. "why stop do you think that it is pointless trying to figure it out!?" Minato said queitly with a bit of edge since before his defection Naruto was going to be named his successor and was his pride and joy one of his two greatest accomplishments Fuka being the other.

Kushina knowing how Minato felt about this particular subject calmly retorted as she walked over to him and nuzzled the side of his face "Well...I think it is time for a newer and younger perspective...so I gave Fuka all the information we know and guess where I saw her exiting this morning with a note pad and pen, I also have a feeling two boys inparticular will get in on the action."

Minato hearing that perked up since he knew all to well of Fuka's tenacity and relentlessness over anything to do with Naruto, he would go as far as to say she was obsessed but that would be a slight exaggeration, also considering in the months leading to his defection Naruto spent alot more time with Fuka than normal. So if she remembered back far enough or something was or done it may trigger something for her.

Minato nodded before adding "It is a good idea but you know this is boraderline manipulation what you are doing you should at least tell her..."

Minato was cut off as Kushina kissed him, pulling away she smirked "well Shikamaru-kun may have that part figure out."

Minato nodded "I take it he is one of the two boys?" all he got was a nod from her.

At the academy

Fuka at the same time as her parents were talking was sitting inbetween Shikamaru and Sasuke, Sasuke at that moment had just finished reading the information Fuka had on Naruto and pretty much did a classic shrugging his shoulders and grunting "Don't do riddles fighting yes riddles no."

Shikamaru on the other hand was reading over it stopped and looked at Fuka "So we know his enemies were the Uchiha- no offense sasuke, sasuke just shrugged- and the civilian and elder council right also we know there could be several reasons to what he means by 'through this justice I show my self sacrifice, pride and loyalty to my village, through doing so I have have protected the will of fire that everyone holds so dear' but no clear answer as for the sentance well that means you have to beat him and he will either give you his reasons or he will say something that will add twist into what we already know.

Fuka nodded at this "So any ideas?"

Shikamaru sighed "as troublesome as it is you have peeked my interest I'll look into it, but you would have to figure out what the Uchiha and councils ever did to make themselves Naruto's enemies in the first place, further more it would be a sound plan to actually find out what lord first and thirds interpretations of the will of fire was this will help figure out the second half of the second sentance, the first half will be hard as we don't know how he showed his pride, self sacrifice and loyalty to the village by doing what he did."

Fuka again nodded but was interrupted by a loud shriek from their pink haired class mate who lost her aunt to Naruto during the massacres "why do you even bother looking for your traitorous brother anyway when you could be looking pretty and not bruising yourself over training to get strong enough to catch him."

Fuka when the pink haired girl finished looked like she was about to slap a bitch but was being held back by Sasuke and Shikamaru sighed "...troublesome woman...you had to tick her off how about you run along before she hurts you she does something worse."

Sakura just nodded before narrowing her eyes at Fuka who met her glare just turned and walked away.

secret location

"Madara sama Uzumaki and Hidan are making a bold move." said Zetsu to a figure shrouded in shadows.

said figure hummed "Zetsu what are they planning?"

"Their heading to kill Orochimaru...would you like us to stop them?" asked the plant man.

Madara shook his head "That won't be needed zetsu my plans have had to change drastically since Uzumaki killed the Uchiha and Itachi but oh well, if it had been Itachi then it would be a whole different story, Orochimaru has run out of use to me I wish for you to record the fight though"

"Of course Madara sama but what if he takes control of sound?"

"it will be no bother to me if he does, he will probably make someone a figure head and lead from the shadows much like I am doing."

"I see then...we'll go watch the snake die." said Zetsu as he sunk into the ground.

Naruto and Hidan.

"So we get to see Guren chan and Tayuya chan again." asked Hidan remembering meeting the two girls on two seperate occasions during there travels and Naruto having them become his agents even though they were 15 years old but they jumped at the chance since they traveled with them for a week got some money and clothes before entering the lair of the snake as it were to spy on Orochimaru for him.

Naruto nodded "Yes they have done well I am quite proud of those two actually, in Gurens last report it seems she's had to grow up fast since Orochimaru ordered her to kill someone just to steal a child that the dammed snake reckons he can turn into a jinchuuriki of the three tails and to top it off she has to look after the little tyke and live with the guilt of kill his real mother."

Hidan hearing that frowned since during the week she spent with Guren she actually softened up around her seeing a kindred spirit in the girl who to also lost everything but given a second chance, "Well once old snake face get's it we can get Guren out of there same with Tayuya."

Naruto shook his head confusing her a bit. "Actually I have plans according to both of the girls Orochimaru has nearly perfected his curse mark which he never will perfect since the finished working of that particular seal is sealed inside of a locket that my mother wears and protected by a blood seal so only her, Fuka and myself can acsess it. anyway enough curse mark talk he has in the land of rice created a settlement that he wants turned into a hidden village called the hidden sound, which is aptly named since most of the small ninja families and clans in the area actually specialise in sound based jutsu, in other words my dear Hidan I plan on taking over Orochimaru's little project, of course I won't sit behind a desk so I will install a figure head leader of my choosing I'm thinking Guren since she has the rare crystal release and is one of the more powerful members of the current sound village coming up behind a kaguya boy."

Hidan getting the idea nodded "So you want to be a leader from the shadows and give certain perameters to little Guren to follow and you'll drop by everynow and then correct?" Naruto nodded, Hidan cleared her throat a little "and you plan on completing snake faces curse mark work as well at some stage by stealing it's schematics from under your mothers nose who if I remember correctly has a sixth sense and knows when you enter the same room as her?.." again Naruto nodded.

Hidan seeing a chance turned and bent over so her face was directly in front of his but he didn't know because his eyes were still closed from when he started talking said "and you still want to travel with little old me hence the reason for wanting to put Guren in charge?"

Again Naruto nodded before snapping his eyes open when he felt something soft press against his cheek, what he saw was Hidan with her eyes closed kissing him on the cheek. smiling slightly he closed his eyes again.

Hidan opening her eyes stood up and turned abruptly 'the hell that come from well I have gotten slightly attached over the last 2 1/2 years and really don't think I could travel around by myself after what we've been through, You know what Girl dammit you deserve more than a kiss.'

completely oblivious to Hidan's inner ranting, Naruto was more concerned over how to deal with Orochimaru and his summons. Granted he himself could sign the contract for the macaque that he found on Uzu but did he feel like actually going through the hassle of it, on top of his summons Orochimaru had the legandary Kusanagi blade which would cause no amount of trouble for him, also the mans long list of various ninjutsu would be a pain.

braking out of his musing he saw Hidan had broken out of her stupor and was taking in the scenary. standing up Naruto sighed "well actually before we head to snake face location we need to make a couple of stops and prepare somethings considering this is Orochimaru I don't want to leave anything to chance." as he said that he added chakra to the seals that were on the underside of his flying carpet and made it go higher into the air and headed toward the land of Iron to pick up a sword he had asked a well screw it the man was down right famous being the grandson of the man who made the seven swords of Kiri and dare he say blacksmithing for that family was like the byakugan for the hyuga.

Hidan being able to see the snow capped peaks of the land of Iron raised a delicate brow "the land of Iron I didn't think samurai interested you?"

Naruto nodded "They don't but there blacksmiths do and I have a sword to pick up"

Hidan nodded, Naruto seeing his chance asked "ahh Hidan with you being immortal does poison effect you?"

Hidan just looked at Naruto before tapping her chin in thought "Hmm well I accidently one time got bitten by a viper after I got given Jashins blessing and it just made me feel a little sluggish and tired but other than that nothing much happened the feeling passed after a couple of hours."

Naruto nodded "That's a relief don't have to worry to much incase he cuts you up close with his Kusanagi"

Hidan hearing that cooed childishly "Awww you do care"

Naruto just shook his head and smirked.

day later

Standing outside what looked to be an old abandonded shrine that had smoke billowing out the chimminey. Naruto looked at Hidan "I know it doesn't look much but this guy is really good even if he is a little crazy and eccentric."

Hidan nodded and looked around and saw nothing but white in every direction she looked returning her gaze at Naruto she pulled her preistess robe tighter not that it did much considering how much skin was still showing while she did that she asked "Okay I get hes a good black smith but why the seclusion and what the fuck is up with the cold it's freezing you could have warned me and I would have put my warmer gear on."

Naruto while she was complaining started circulating fire chakra about his body warming himself took his cloak off and wrapped it round her making her blush as he stepped away. As he did he swept passed her leaving a warm draft of air in his wake that Hidan willing to follow in as they did they splashed through some slushy snowy mud and onto the front decking and knocked on the door twice.

once knocking they heard a crashing sound followed by a yelp of pain followed by another crash and a grown, making the two of them wince slightly.

five minutes later the door opened revealing a 7ft tall giant of a man who was built like a bear and his muscles had muscles which had...many tribal tattoos he was wearing what looked like a bear skin cloak with many singe marks all over. he was also covered in soot and completely bald.

the man then said in a high pitched voice making Hidan sputter and start laughing. "Ah Naruto you come back and see Randel why you come and see Randel?"

Naruto fully knowing the man having met him before shook his head "Randel, I've come for my sword that I payed for 4 years ago when we last met" Naruto said gaining a excited look from the man that then grabbed Naruto and Hidan by an arm and dragged them into a room that was at the back of the building when they arrived the room only had one sword on a rack sitting on a peddastal in the middle.

Randel walked over to the sheathed blade and stood behind it and spread his arms wide and said with a insanely large grin that would put both Fuka and Kushina to shame "Naruto-sama this blade has taken me three years to make it and I made it so it incorperated some of the abilities of my grandfathers swords it has the blood regeneration of Kubikiribocho, piercing and cutting abilities of Nuibari and kiba and just like Hiramekarei it channels and stores chakra, I also took the liberty of adding strengthening seals and seals that make sure the blade never dulls.

Naruto hearing that smiled "good work Randel as promised I will get you a place in village outside the land of Iron, but I just need you to wait here a few days longer and everything will come into place don't worry, Now let me see the blade." as he said that he stepped forward and picked the.

unsheathing the blade he saw it had a simple handle wrapped in black cloth. the cross guard four blades that jutted out at 90 degrees before pointing forward again. the blade was 30cm wide and 4 and a half feet long. and was black and silver.

Hidan while Naruto was looking at the blade walked up behind him and peered over his shoulder and couldn't help marvel at the blade.

she jumped slightly when Naruto spoke suddenly "How will she fair against the Kusanagi blade"

Randal stratched his chin "I would stake my life on that this blade would beat the Kusanagi but as you know my lord it all depends on the person who weilds the blade and once you have used her in a real battle is when you will know what her name is."

Naruto nodded and sheathed the blade "You did good Randel I will be in touch soon make sure your ready to leave"

Randel nodded and bear hugged Naruto and because Hidan was so close she was bought up in it as well. "Yes Naruto sama Randel shall be ready for your return will you be staying or leaving now"

Naruto patted the large man on the back once he was on the ground "I'm sorry Randel but we have pressing matters that need to be attended to."

Randel nodded his head sadly "Randel understands but Randel eagerly awaits your return lord Naruto" Naruto smiled and motioned for Hidan to move out with him. with that he gave Randel one last smile and swept out the room behind Hidan.

one day later

sitting on a reasonably high peak on one of the mountains in the land of fang Hidan was off in town attending to something womanly, sighing he unfurled the macaque summoning scroll and bit his thumb allowing it bleed before signing his name and leaving a hand print. as he finished unlike the toad summoning his father told him about a large puff of smoke erupted around him.

when the smoke cleared it revealed a 50 foot tall macaque monkey dressed in red, yellow, blue and white samurai armour. when the ape looked at around he saw Naruto and beat his chest making a booming sound that sounded like thunder said "I AM IRONLOCK THE MACAQUE BOSS SUMMON ARE YOU THE ONE WHO SIGNED THE UZUMAKI CONTRACT HUMAN."

Naruto crossed his arms and channelled chakra into the seals on the soles of his feet and floated so he was at eye height with the monkey boss summon said "Yes I am Naruto Uzumaki the current heir to the Uzumaki clan and I seek a partnership and assistance of your clan Ironlock what do you say." said Naruto as he held a fist out to the large monkey who stared at him intently with his unerving green eyes that had a red scalara backing.

the boss just stared into Naruto's soul and looked at all Naruto's actions, his reasoning for what he did and what he did.

Ironlock raised his fist and gently bumped Naruto's fist "IRONLOCK AND HIS TROOP WILL FOLLOW YOU AND BY PROXY THE UZUMAKI THAT IS ALL I WILL TELL YOU I'LL LET YOU HAVE FUN AND FIGURE OUT WHAT VARIOUS MEMBERS CAN DO."

Naruto nodded his head to the boss "very well then Ironlock I look forward to fighting by your side in the future." Ironlock nodded and disappeared again 'SO THE ELDERS WERE CORRECT THE CLAN SHALL MAKE THERE RETURN TO THIS WORLD AND SHOW THEM WHO SHOULD REIGN SUPREME ONCE MORE WONDER IF ENMA WILL GET THE SARUTOBI CLAN TO SIGN AGAIN EVEN AFTER HIRUZEN'S DEATH.'

Naruto floated back down to the ground and sat back down on his rock and looked at his rolled up carpet and used his chakra strings to feed chakra into the seals making it unroll. standing he moved and sat back down on the mat and headed to town where Hidan was.

one week later

standing in a clearing about a mile away from the small hidden sound village that Orochimaru was in Naruto and Hidan were standing across from two girls. One a couple of years younger than them (19 yrs old) the one on the right who was the elder of the two had red lipstick, has fair skin, dark eyes and light blue hair which she keeps in a spiky ponytail with long strands of hair framing her face. Her outfit consists of a green dress with a long left sleeve and a short right one, a red turtle-neck which has a white, fluffy collar and brown gloves. Under the dress, she wears a one piece red suit. For shoes, she wears calf-length brown sandal boots.

the other girl on the left and the younger of the two (12 yrs old) had long, untamed, dark red hair much like Naruto's. She also wore a black bandage that went round her head. She wore a tan tunic, , with black shorts and standard black shinobi sandals. and a purple rope belt round her waist.

Naruto looking at the two girls smiled slightly "Guren, Tayuya good work, it is time that I handle the snake that lurks in the shadows, when this over I will send one of my summons to you where you will then gather Sakon and Ukon, Jirobo and Kidomaru. So I can explain my plans to you all."

when Tayuya heard her teammates names she looked at him "Hey how do you know those little shits oji-san."

Naruto hearing her call him that raised a brow and sighed at her language before turning to Hidan momentarily "I blame you for her bad language..."

Hidan hearing that gave him a mild glare and a indignant snort before turning a looking away. Naruto ignoring her and Gurens muffled giggles said to Tayuya "Tayuya remember what happened last time you used language like that around me?"

Tayuya who was smirking at her sister figure being reprimanded stiffened when she was reminded of her last punishment for swearing and gently rubbed her backside and went a bit pale. Naruto seeing her reaction smirked and continued "as I was about to say I know your teammates because I had them draw attention to themselves so Orochimaru would be tempted to recruit them and keep an eye on you two."

Tayuya hearing her teammates worked for the man she saw as her hero and uncle looked at him shocked. Guren smirked "So Nii-sama you managed to get four of us as Orochimaru's body guards in training and me the third strongest in the village you have set him up perfectly."

Naruto nodded "Yes I have been one step ahead of the snake since the beginning."

he then looked at the girls and saw they started fidgiting sensing they were nervous he said "Girls whats the matter?"

Guren started hesitantly "Ah the other day we heard Orochimaru talking to Kabuto his spy in Konoha about an organistion he used to be in called the Akatsuki we heard him say there goal was to capture and extract the bijuu from there jinchuuriki so they can create world peace. and that they are all S class criminals."

Naruto nodded 'I know what me and Hidan are doing after I have sorted things out with this little investment figuring out what to do with Akatsuki.'

he then looked at Tayuya "Tayuya...gather the sound four for me and bring them here."

Tayuya nodded hearing her uncle figures orders and ran off in the direction of their training field.

Naruto then turned his gaze onto Guren "were you lying when you said that you were 3rd most powerful in the village?"

Guren shook her head "Not at all Nii-sama I am only Orochimaru and Kimimaru can best me."

"Good, you are going to take Hidan with you and eliminate all those that are utterly loyal to Orochimaru" said Naruto.

Hidan not expecting that piped up "Hey I thought we were killing old snake face together?"

Naruto shook his head "No once you have finished helping Guren then I want you to come and help me I want to keep you two as fresh as possible, so if by chance I struggle against Orochimaru you guys can be the decisive blow that will be needed."

Hidan nodded since she had to agree if she was kept secret from the snake then things may go smoother.

Naruto then turned to Guren "when this Kimimaru boy arrives if he does you and the sound four are to hold him until I or Hidan come understood once I enter the tower Orochimaru is in no one is to enter."

Guren nodded her head and took off with Hidan to get ready. Not five minutes later Tayuya landed in front of him with three other 12 year olds looking at each of them.

'Sakon and Ukon look healthy especially with Ukon actually being awake and looking at me but they certainly have changed though lets see straight, dark grey hair with long bangs that covered each different eye, their bangs were on opposite sides Ukon's being on the left, Sakon's on the right). Each of the twins wore a green shade of lipstick, and had dark markings around their eyes giving them an androgynous appearance. They both have brown tunics with long black wristbands black skin-tight shorts, and purple ropes tied around their waists. Sakon has a dark-red, beaded necklace around his neck and a giant scroll behind his back. I wonder if they have curbed their temper and pride a bit can't have them dying on me now can I.'

he then turned his gaze on Kidomaru a six armed boy with dark-skin with black, shaggy hair, and black eyes. he wore a black, sleeveless top and shorts, over which he wore a tunic that bore the symbol of the Sound Four, and a purple rope-belt around his waist. He also wore the forehead protector of his village along with arm warmers, shinobi sandals and bandages around his legs. 'the tactical analyser of the group the boy has a brain to rival Shikaku, his only problem will be arrogance and underestimating the enemy.'

Ah Jirobo my silent and sarcastic friend you have filled out since I last saw you and dressed like the others must be a uniform of some type, and to be honest I quite like it as well, would'nt wear it personally but I might make Guren make it the official uniform for my future ninja hmm different colour for different levels, Yes that will work, wait he shaved his head and gave himself a Mohawk oh dear Jirobo.'

after silently scrutinizing them all for a minute he saw them fidgit a little "It is good to see you three again."

the three nodded and in unison "it is good to see you again Lord Naruto, is it time to eliminate Orochimaru" Sakon asked the last part.

Naruto allowed a bloodthirsty smirk to appear "Yes Sakon it is but I have an important task for you four. You need to create that barrier I taught you all individually when I met you."

Kidomaru being the smarter of the team "So thats what it was for a combination barrier jutsu no wonder we could never hold the barrier alone."

Naruto nodded "Very good Kidomaru, you will follow me and create a barrier around his office tower."

the four pre teens nodded at there saviour and leader.

Orochimaru's tower.

when they reached the tower the sound four dispersed and got ready yo create their barrier when they were in position. they said quietly and individually.

"Sometimes you guys are so impatient so annoying, I am Tayuya of the North..."

"about time I was getting so frustrated with the snake when our true lord is Naruto, I am Sakon/Ukon of the south..."

"humph finally my time, I am Kidomaru of the east..."

"I now got friends and person that cares for me and can give me power I will not fail you lord Naruto, I am Jirobo of the west..."

"...Barrier: ligthning inferno prism of the solitary warrior (Kodokuna senshi no kaminari jigoku purizumu)". they all said in unison.

as they did they placed their hands on the ground and a large prism appeared that was made of green flames and blue lightning crakling in amougst it, once the barrier was up a smaller barrier appeared around each of them sheilding them from attacks.

Naruto who saw his barrier up strode into the building and was immediately met by Orochimaru who was halfway coming down the stairs to figure out who put up the powerful barrier.

when he saw Naruto he couldn't help but smirk "Kukuku So my one time student has come to see his old sensei."

Naruto not really wanting to bandy words with the man since he was responsible for a lot of the corruption in the leaf village pointed his hand at Orochimaru and shot a yellow spear of ligthning at the sannin "I have come to kill you snake not bandy words and reminise of years gone."

Orochimaru who dodged out the way smirked evilly "kukuku, yes you may pose a challenge but I want to kill you as well since you derailed my plans of obtaining the perfect container and learning all the worlds ninjutsu."

"So you still hold onto that impossible dream that led to you commiting such horrific acts against the village." said Naruto as he crossed his arms.

Orochimaru shrugged "Sen'eijashu" and 30 snakes jumped from his sleeve and charged Naruto.

Naruto didn't bother moving and willed his chakra chains to come forth. as he 10 golden chains erupted from his back formed a tight cuccoon around him. after a 10 second he pushed his chains outward in a whipping motion that the snakes were ripped to shreds. "You will have to better if you wish to kill me Orochimaru."

Orochimaru grinned sadistically "kukukuku I was just warming up Naruto-kun be patient."

Naruto grunted "enough of this messing around time to end this..." he then did two hand signs "fire style: grand fireball jutsu... as soon as the fireball appeared he did another two hand signs and pointed towards Orochimaru who was in the process of dodging the fireball said "lightning style: false darkness!" as he did Orochimaru watched in horror as the fireball lost it shape and spread out and merged with the lightning style jutsu, Naruto smirked "lightning flame wave jutsu."

Orochimaru dodged the jutsu by sinking into the ground, Naruto who anticipated him doing that placed his hands on the ground "NOW DIE lightning style: Earth lightning destruction." as he said that lightning started traveling through the ground when it reached the very edges of the building the building was engulfed in fireball of flames.

Naruto seeing this cucooned himself with his chains and protected himself from the explosion and other debris.

Orochimaru however not being able to dodge the earth lightning grunted 'dam that boy he force me to blow the building argh I can't feel my left arm I can't do any jutsu now other than Sen'eijashu.'

Orochimaru was shaken out of his thoughts as golden chains errupted from a pile of debris close by revealling a relativly unharmed Naruto bar few soot marks on his face and light breathing from his two jutsu.

Orochimaru remembering from when he trained Naruto for awhile before fleeing the village knew he didn't know kenjutsu. opening his mouth he regurgitated his Kusanagi blade and held it in his good hand.

Naruto seeing Orochimaru's right arm hanging limply by his side and his clothing being ripped said "When will you not underestimate me snake surely you have learn't by now I am not to be taken lightly."

"Yes I can see that now brat but even with one arm I can still defeat you easily since I have the advantage." said Orochimaru with a cough.

Naruto gave an unseen smirk "We shall see Snake."

Orochimaru then ran at Naruto who ran at him as well when they were close Naruto channled his chakra to a seal on his hand which instantly summoned his sword that Randel made. and blocked the incoming sword strike surprising the snake greatly.

As they were locked together Naruto taunted "You still believe you have the upper hand in this fight"

Orochimaru gritted his teeth 'how I am a Sannin, how has he anticipated my every move and countered everything I have done it is impossible!'"No matter brat I have more experiance with a blade than you do,"

Naruto grunted "That's where your wrong snake you only have preconceptions of my power from when you trained me during my time at the academy, and it is those preconceptions that will end you today!"

As he said that he slid his blade up so that the Kusanagi blade was set between the crossguard blades. seeing this Naruto smirked again "I will take your blade now." when he finished much to Orochimaru's annoyance when he realised what he was going to do twisted his wrist and the blade yanking the Kusanagi out of Orochimaru's grasp catching the blade Naruto grabbed the now free handle and side kicked Orochimaru into a pile of debris causing a cloud of dust. Remembered Orochimaru could control the blade without holding it "don't want to be stabbed in the back now do I." he then sealed it into his hand before looking back.

Orochimaru who was getting up from where he had been kicked rather violently coughed and looked at the barrier he landed very close to and his eyes widened in shock at seeing who were responsible for the barrier none other than his sound four. he the turned and raged "UZUMAKI what have you done to my guards."

Naruto chuckled "Mhmmhmmmhahahahaha, your guards they were my subordinates long before you picked them up snake I have been slowly preparing for this day for years, you have no chance now you can't form signs for jutsu and you have lost your precious sword as well it's over and as we speak Guren and Hidan are killing off your most loyal followers which luckily isn't that many, by the way I must thank you for starting this little project it will prove to be most useful indeed."

Orochimaru hearing that gained a look of fury "No, no, no, NO I WON'T ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN I AM IMMORTAL I CAN'T DIE YET."

he then pulled up his sleeve revealing a snake tattoo, biting his thumb he rubbed it on the snake and channelled his chakra and slammed it on the ground creating a large poof of smoke followed by the remaining debris to hit the barrier and be turned to ash.

Naruto who cover himself was unlucky to get some scrapes and bruises from the flying debris moved his arms from his line of vision and saw Orochimaru atop a giant snake.

the large snake looked up at the snake man and rumbled "OROCHIMARU WHY HAVE YOU SUMMONED ME INSECT."

Orochimaru looked at the snake "Manda I will give you a thousand human sacrifices but kill that man in front of you he is dangerous."

"FINE I WILL KILL THIS HUMAN FOR YOU, BUT I WANT MY SACRIFICES." rumbled the snake as it bared his fangs.

Naruto seeing the snake smiled and shouted up at the man "YOUR NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH A SUMMONING YOU FOOL SUMMONING JUTSU: IRONLOCK"

as he said that he appeared atop a 50 foot macaque in samurai armour and carrying large battle axe. the ape knowing who summoned him looked at the snake and man across from him and said in a excited battle hungry tone "AH NARUTO WHAT A WAY TO CHRISEN OUR PACT THAN FIGHTING MANDA OF THE SNAKE CLAN YOU ARE TRULY A WONDERFUL SUMMONER."

Manda seeing the monkey widened his eyes "IMPOSSIBLE IRONLOCK OF THE MACAQUE YOUR CONTRACT HASN'T BEEN SEEN OR SIGNED IN YEARS NOT AFTER YOUR LAST SUMMONER KILLED ENMA'S DAUGHTER!"

"YES I MUST ADMIT IT WAS A SURPRISE WHEN I WAS SUMMONED THE OTHER WEEK BY THE HEIR OF THE UZUMAKI NO LESS." replied Ironlock.

Their conversation was interupted by an Irrate Orochimaru "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR KILL HIM!"

Manda looked up at his summoner "I AM NOT FOOL ENOUGH TO BELIEVE I CAN DEFEAT IRONLOCK HIS CLAN ARE BRED FOR BATTLE AND I WILL NOT RISK LOSING MY LIFE IN A BATTLE I KNOW I CAN'T AND WON'T WIN YOUR ON YOUR OWN HUMAN."

Orochimaru hearing that was furious but couldn't retort as manda flicked him off his head and disappeared again. Naruto seeing Orochimaru was defenseless in the air, charged chakra in to his hand and jumped at Orochimaru as he reached the injured man a blue ord appeared and he shouted "Rasengan!" as he did he thrust the orb into the snakes face pretty much ripping his head from his shoulders.

when Naruto landed on the ground he walked over to Orochimaru's body and saw his head was being held on by a flap of skin sighing he knelt down and sealed his body in a scroll.

he then straigtened "Thanks Ironlock for the help to bad the snake ran"

Ironlock just chuckled and disperesed in smoke.

Naruto then called out..."Tayuya, Sakon/Ukon, Kidomaru, Jirobo come."

the four hearing their names being called dropped the barrier and appeared in front of him.

WIth Hidan and Guren

after leaving Naruto the two girls were heading towards the part of the village well more of an underground base where most well 20 of Orochimaru's staunchest followers lived which was convieniant a bit to much for Hidan who even though immortal and couldn't die didn't mean the same for Guren. "Guren, isn't it a little to convieniant that they all live here underone roof?"

Guren smiled "Well in any other case I would agree but because I have been here with old snakey before I know the layout and really didn't need your help."

Hidan just nodded "So what did you have planned for the snake fanatics?"

Guren giggled evilly "I was going to cave the base in and launch various crystal spikes through it making sure they are all dead."

Hidan giggled evilly as well before asking nonchalantly "Do you think Naruto likes me."

Guren who wasn't expecting but was waiting for something like this to be bought up stumbled a little and answered while regaining her footing "ahem ah yes well that is a good question he has stuck around with you for a long while now right?"

Hidan nodded.

"And to be honest I thought you two were a couple when I first met you with how you interacted with one another, maybe Naruto has his own reasons for not expressing his feelings to you." answered Guren.

Hidan nodded "I suppose but I'm going to find out one way or another no lets hurry and finish these mugs so I can help out Naruto-kun"

Guren hearing the kun added smirked but thought it better not to tease Hidan knowing it how emotionally screwed she was but then again she and Tayuya couldn't talk since they all had similar backgrounds.

20 minutes later Hidan was sitting on a tree branch as Guren stood in front of a large hole with 30 dead bodies and crystal spikes in and sighed "Boring, oh well lets go help Naruto-kun"

Guren smiled and nodded before heading off in the direction of the green prism shape that had all those who remained in the village gathered round and they were from the Fuma and Shiin clans who had started to despise Orochimaru thanks to the experiments he was doing on people.

getting to the crowd Guren saw a up turned cart and made her way to it dragging Hidan behind her. getting to the cart Guren shouted "EVERYONE CALM DOWN! THE BARRIER WAS SET UP BY LORD NARUTO SO HE COULD KILL OROCHIMARU WITHOUT ENDAGERING ALL OF YOU, HE IS OUR SAVIOUR THE ONE WHO IS RIDING US OF OROCHIMARU AND HIS VILE EXPERIMENTS."

Hanzaki the current head of the Fuma clan in Otogakure shouted out "what do you mean how do we know he will even kill Orochimaru?"

Guren smiled as did Hidan who said loudly "you all know about the fourth hokages son and how he defected and labeled an S rank criminal yes"

Arashi who was the up and coming prodigy of the fuma clan much like his cousin Kagero shouted from his spot "If what you say is true how do we know he will be a better leader than Orochimaru"

Guren and Hidan who were busy keeping the fuma and shinn clan calm failed to notice as did everyone else the barrier release.

after Arashi's question everyone went silent thinking much the same thing how did Guren know he was there saviour and not another monster.

Naruto who was standing in front of the sound four called out calmly with his eyes closed and standing on his carpet that he had summoned to him "young man anyone would be an improvement on Orochimaru but as for how will I be a better leader well ask those two up there or these four behind me since you know them all other than Hidan they can vouch for me also if your worried that I might be under qualified then don't I was being groomed for the position of the fifth Hokage by my father. but that doesn't matter does it to you people you want to know if I will be a monster or a human in that case I am a human and don't plan on experimenting on people. if you of the hidden sound village will have me then I will lead you but you must relise due to my status I will have to move around a lot so I would have to have a de facto leader or figure head if you will and I have already chosen that person all I ask is that you all return home and a representitive from the clans here meet me later tonight."

Hanzaki and Shinn nodded to one another agreeing if this man was strong enough to beat Orochimaru singlehanded then they didn't want to goad him but on top of that one of the villages strongest and Orochimaru's own guard were standing by his side meaning they were his shinobi from the beginning or they were very unloyal to the snake. turning to their respective clans they ushered them back to the clan homes.

after that some of the non clan village members dispersed but they were mainly orphans that Orochimaru picked up in hope of experimenting on and they knew and by the look on Gurens face she could tell they were a little happier than usual but still weary.

once they were dispersed Guren and Hidan jumped over to them and Hidan uncharacteristically launched herself at Naruto who on instinct caught her but lost his balence and fell on his back on his carpet with Hidan on top of him in a compromising situation.

the others who were watching started laughing at the duo with comments like

"I didn't know Hidan-chan was so forward UFUFUFU..."

"Naruto-sama is one lucky man..."

"*wolf whistle* Oji-chan, Hidan-chan are in love!..."

"Lord Naruto just got maximum points and experience..."

"Lord Naruto should keep these moments behind closed doors especially with children around..."

Hidan mainly hearing the first three comments realised her position and how close her face was to Naruto's jumped off him quickly and turned away with a blush.

Naruto shook his head shaking off his surprised and dazed look from having his Hidan-chan so close sat up 'hold on my Hidan, slightly possesive...but then again she has been acting a bit more girly and out of character than usual, and there was that question the other week hmm...' breaking out of his musing he saw Hidan with her back to him trying in vain to cover up her blush and the sound four plus Guren standing around talking to one another.

clearing his throat he got their attention with everyone looking his way except for Hidan who he saw slightly tilted her head in his direction "Right well that entire fiasco went swimminly now to break the news to each shinobi team that returns back to the village and to actually set the village in the right direction."

at that everyone nodded and Sakon spoke up "Ah Naruto-sama what about the other hideouts? cause there are people stationed there as well"

Naruto looked at Guren and Tayuya "*ahem* Girls did that slip your mind that the sound village is actually a collection of bases?"

both Tayuya and Guren looked at each other and pointed and insync said accusingly "I thought you were going to tell him...wah na-ah stop copying me."

before they could continue Naruto interceded and looked at Sakon "where are the bases located?"

Sakon turned his head looking at Ukon out the corner of his eye, Ukon getting the Idea sighed before yawning "right there is the Kusagakure base which is close to the Blood prison and is run by a man called Ko

the southern hideout is about 3 miles off the coast of wave country and is run oh don't blame tayuya and Guren on this one since they haven't been there but it run by a Uzumaki lady and her daughter Amaya and Karin Uzumaki very nice she was forced to work for the snake under threat of hurting Karin.

Ah the next base we have the northern Hideout which is where all his human experiments were done including a boy our age called jugo but I think according to Orochimaru he has psychotic episodes due to a unknown clan trait that allows him to subconciously draw in natural energy there is a man in charge there his name is Nobu.

Next is the eastern hideout in the land of frost not much there other than a whole load of glass cylinders and some jonin level shinobi that Orochimaru loaned to the land of frost in return for a future favour no one is really in charge.

there is a laboritory on demon island in the land of sea and is run by a freak called Amachi and it has a couple of experiments and thats about it as far as I know on that one.

And lastly well more of a rumour about a Laboratory in the land of water that is used for medical reasons but I'm not sure, sorry."

Naruto shook his head and rubbed the twins heads affectionatly "No you two that was very helpful indeed, but a question out of all of them who are utterly loyal to the snake?"

Kidomaru piped up for this one "Oh that's easy the only ones who I would say is completely loyal to the snake are Amachi and Nobu those two would probably bend over for the snake bastard...right Jirobo" said Kidomaru gently elbowing the large boy.

Jirobo nodded "It is true lord Naruto"

Naruto nodded "well in that case, once those on missions arrive back when were they are due to arrive?"

Guren answered "they are all supposed to arrive either this evening or tomorrow throughout the day, but you haven't explained how you will deal with Kabuto and Kimimaru they are fanatical about the snake."

Naruto nodded "I have a plan for Kabuto since I had the displeasure of meeting the young man when I was still in the leaf village, as for Kimimaru later while we are eating dinner you can tell me about the boy so I can plan what I will say to the boy...

Now as I was saying once the majority of the ninja have returned Sakon, Ukon you are to go to the kusa base and speak with Ko and persuade him to bring everyone and everything back here, understood."

the twins nodded "Hai Lord Naruto.

He then looked at Jirobo "Jirobo-kun could you go and speak with the Uzumaki's and tell them family has killed Orochimaru and wishes they bring everyone and everything back here."

Jirobo nodded "Hai Naruto-sama

he then looked at Tayuya and Kidomaru "You two are going to the base in frost and and telling them to return immediately and while your there I wish for you to strip the place bare and seal it all okay"

the two shinobi nodded.

Naruto then turned to Guren "You my dear are going to be the de facto leader and figure head I need you here to keep people in check and make sure things are running smoothly can you do that for me?"

"I can try but I have to look after Yukimaru as well I guess I could ask Sasame-chan if she could babysit somemore until Yukimaru turns 10, in four years" she said thinking it over.

Naruto nodded and patted her shoulder "thats my imoto...As for me and Hidan we will go to the northern hideout and sort out Nobu and after we will drop by with what ever and whoever we get from there consolidate and speak with everyone before heading to demon Island sorting out Amachi everyone has there orders you leave bright and early tomorrow understood hopefully by then I will have the shinn and Fuma firmly at my side as well as everyone else who was here.

that evening

Sitting on his carpet under a tree Naruto was observing Shinn, Hanzaki and a teenager around 16 called Shou he had pale skin, white hair and grey eyes and looked rather effiminate and was wearing black leggings, with a white tunic like the sound 4 but had a blue sash around his waist and apparently was chosen as a representitive for those non clan shinobi who were present in the village.

eitherside of him was Guren and Hidan, smiling Naruto spread his arms wide "So I want a village..."

3 days later

"Man I still can't believe you got Kimimaru-kun and the other non-clan shinobi who returned yesterday to your side so quickly and that Kimimaru gave you a blood oath" said Hidan still not quite believing how charismatic her partner could be.

Naruto just sighed "Yes you have made that quite clear Hidan-chan the last 100 times you said it now could you get your head in the game the northern base is coming up and we have several objectives and cause I know your love for death and destruction you can take care of Nobu and the experiments if they attack you before giving you a chance to explain, I also want you to give negotiation a go instead of solving it with your scythe."

Hidan just pouted "Mo Naruto-kun so mean and while I'm toiling away doing all that work what will you be doing hmm?"

Naruto who was floating along on his carpet while Hidan walked alongside tilted his head back and looked at some of the birds that flew by replied "I'll be looking for young Jugo and any un-experimented and non volitile shinobi to bring back with us"

Hidan nodded "Probably best you reason with Jugo considering he could suffer from an episode any second." said Hidan before whistling as the base came into veiw "Ole Snakeface really went all out to keep his failings hidden from the world" as a large building appeared sticking out the side of a large cliff.

Naruto nodded but didn't get any further because they were surrounded 10 shinobi it was then a rather plain looking man with a blood thirsty grin stepped forward "Halt you won't go any further."

Hidan who didn't like how some of the pansies in front of her were looking at her said irriatatedadly "Yeah and who the fuck are you to stop us"

The man puffed his chest out proudly "I am Nobu and I'm the one lord..." he would have gotten further but unfortunately or fortunately depending on who you were his head left his shoulders allowing a gyser of blood to erupt from the stump of his neck."

it was then something that will make both Naruto and Hidan wonder why some people will follow some wierdo's the nine remaining shinobi all gave a collective sigh and one said "Finally someone with the balls to do that we have no idea what possessed Lord Orochimaru to put him in charge. thank you your welcome to rest in the base if you want."

HIdan snickered a little before nudging Naruto and said rather loudly "Ufufufu nothing much is possessing Orochimaru's corpse since you killed him a week ago."

the shinobi when they heard Orochimaru was killed by the guy sitting on the carpet they regarded him wearily. *sigh* "Hidan I was hoping to have all the people of the base present before I told them what I had done to their former leader."

Hidan giggled sheepishly and looked everywhere but at Naruto, Naruto shook his head and smiled softly at the now very nervous shinobi "Don't worry I have taken over the sound village and have sent the members of the sound four to have all personel of the other bases return to the main village in the land of rice, I came here personally to reassure the inhabitants they will no longer be used as test subjects and if they wish they can join the village and I also came to speak with Jugo since I can help him with his homicidal urges."

the Shinobi who spoke before looked at the others before kneeling "Ah I think that I speak for everyone here and most of the people inside the base that we will willing serve under you."

Naruto nodded his head and was about to speak "Tatsuo he should know of the four factions in the base."

Naruto looking at Tatsuo raised a brow, Tatsuo answering the unanswered question sighed wearily "yes that well as kazuki-chan pointed out there is four factions in the base and they each have their own floor on the ground floor is the ah Neko inspired experiments, Orochimaru in a bid to create extremely agile and stealthy ninja he somehow managed to mutate around 30 people and each of them have various cat like attributes mostly tails and eyes resembling cats but a few and patches of fur or ears and even retractable claws too and like most cats they are very placide up until the point they are annoyed and they are under the leadership of Mari but she insists on being called lady Mari..."

Naruto hearing that nodded "right and were they loyal to Orochimaru?"

Tatsuo just shook his head "No most of the Orochimaru loyalists died on the lab table there are maybe one or two who may not choose to come but thats life I guess."

Naruto nodded 'not as hard as I thought...so the other factions?"

Tatsuo nodded "the next faction the dog people under Lucius known as the Alpha by his pack and like Mari, he likes us to refer to him as Lord Lucius. they like the cat like experiments have various canine characteristics ranging from wolf right down to a domestic house dog.

the next teir of experiments are like Orochimaru are serpent and snake like, but there are also other reptiles but mainly snakes they take the term snake and reptile like to a whole new level they are more snake than human but are only loyal to those with power and I can already tell your power far exceeds Dokumaru and like the others he insists on us calling him lord Dokumaru.

and lastly the most powerful group are the people who Orochimaru gave the unfinished curse marks to and pretty much attempts to copy Jugo who is locked away tightly which he asked for, now they are pretty civil but once they activate the mark they gain grotesque appearances, now you would think that because their power originated from Jugo you would think he was their leader but he is only 10 years old, the leader of this group is a woman called Usagi and like the others likes being called lady Usagi.

pretty much the power of each group is depended on the floor they live on as well so the cats are the weakest and so on."

Naruto absorbing everything nodded 'hmm so they are like clans already interesting they seem fairly organised with a heirachy within each group...Tatsuo what is yours and the rest of you here for?"

Tatsuo smiled "we are medics that Orochimaru forced to keep everyone healthy while he was away and made us do other things against our code but we are medics by trade."

Naruto nodded "good when we return to the village I want you to find a woman by the name of Amaya Uzumaki who I have heard is..."

one of the other shinobi who was transfered from the base Amaya was on finished for him "...the best medic that Orochimaru has in his employ there is kabuto but he prefers experimenting than healing."

Naruto nodded and said "Is there a chance you can gather Mari, Lucius, Dokumaru and Usagi and have them meet me out here and if they feel safer they can bring a couple of fellow test subjects with them."

Tatsuo nodded "That can be done I think giving them the incentive to come outside the base they will be more than willing."

Naruto smiled "Good, good" he then gestured for them to leave which they did leaving him and Hidan alone Naruto turned to Hidan and said "Well if each group has 30 or more members I think the Hidden sound has gained four new clans alongside the Fuma and Shinn."

Hidan nodded before giving Naruto a stiff glare "the curse mark people you know where to get the complete designs for it so you can help at least some of them and Jugo"

Naruto nodded "Yes I can and I will but I have to somehow get them from my mother who is at the leaf village right now so that will be hard but I plan on sending Guren there on diplomacy with Shou, Kagero Fuma, Tayuya, Sakon & Ukon and I will have her tell them about the curse mark and how Orochimaru abandoned the village and not returning until they found news about his death where they then elected Guren as the new leader and that is all they need to know and if my mother insists she can come and oversee the sealing herself but Jugo I just need to place a couple of storage and conversion seals on several points on his body so when his body naturally draws in the natural chakra it converts it to normal chakra and stores it before slowly leaking it in to his body and having it mix and become his own making his reserves grow larger slowly."

Hidan nodded not realing understanding it other than it will help Jugo.

five minutes later.

Tatsuo and the other eight shinobi appeared out of the base once more and stood behind Naruto and Hidan in a line.

they were followed by the four leaders of the factions who lined up in front of him starting from the left he looked at each of them.

on the far left was a woman in her mid 20's she was a reasonably small woman 5'3 tall but lithe and agile looking she had creamy white skin and jet black coloured hair that was very long with most of it allowed to be left wild and untamed while the rest was done in a tightly platted ponytail that reached down to her knees with a red hair band holding it together, she had a pair of black cat ears poking out from her hair, her eyes were a golden yellow colour with a slit like pupil in, also she had six purple whisker like triangular marking on her face that started at the top of her lower jaw and curved to the middle of her cheeks, her clothing or lack there of was pretty much a red string bikini on the front of her top hanging under each breast was a tassel of fabric with small jem stone that ended being in line with her navel, her bikini had white and gold swirl patterns on. she also had a black cat tail poking from her tail bone and was wearing a some japanese sandels that reached her mid calf.

he then looked at Lucius who like his cat counterpart had dog like ears and tail but also had sharpened fangs as well, his hair was black and white and extremely shaggy and wild reaching his shoulders, his eyes were red and his clothing was a pair of grey pants that reached his mid calf his top was a short sleeved and black showing off his impressive muscles and he was barefoot. he was very athletic looking and around 5 foot 9 tall

he then moved his gaze to Dokumaru who if Naruto hadn't been thinking rashionally would have mistaken the man for Orochimaru, He was about 6 foot 2 tall, and looked like he was boarderline anorexic, pale and instead of purple marking around his eyes they were green his eyes like the markings were a swamp green with snake slit, his hair flowed smoothly down to his mid back and was dark gray not black, some of his skin was covered in green snake like scales while the rest of his body was covered in tattoos of some description his clothing was the bottom half of a tunic like most the sound ninja wear with black mid thigh shorts underneath, while the top was a top that covered his ribcage and shoulders showing off well defined muscles and this was all in black as well.

Naruto looking at him thinking other than the scales he looked pretty normal and was about to comment when he yawned because of the heat revealing snake like fangs and tongue. Naruto looked at Hidan and saw her trying really hard not to comment on their appearances sighed and looking at the last person.

Usagi who was a survivor of the incomplete curse mark she was a rather normal looking woman except for the black marking that covered her tanned skin, she had black eyes orange hair like all the survivors it was an after effect of the curse mark, she had a regal looking face and a pointed chin (think toka senju) her clothing was modest unlike her fellow female leader she kept most of her skin hidden from view wearing a long sleeved shirt tunic and black leggings and she was barefoot.

Naruto finally deciding to speak stood from his seated position "A pleaseure to meet the lords and ladies of the Northern Hideout I have news from the Hidden sound...Orochimaru was killed three days ago."

Dokumaru hearing the man was dead hissed appreciably and gave a snakey smile "About time the snake got it...who did it...

Lucius let out a happy howl "the pack will be pleased with the news the man who killed him deserves to placed as alpha."

Usagi went wide eyed and muttered "Interesting"

Mari licked the back of her hand "Nya this interesting yes interesting indeed who killed the slimy freak"

Naruto hearing that then dropped the bombshell "you want to know who killed him yes?"

he got four nods, stepping off his carpet "well I killed him"

when the four heard that they immediatly tensed which Naruto noticed holding his hands up in a placating manner her said hastily "whoa, whoa no need for hostilities I come merely with an offer to you."

Usagi narrowed her eyes "what would your offer be and since you clearly know who we are thanks to Tatsuo we are at a disadvantage who are you exactly" she said gesturing at him and Hidan.

Naruto nodded "Fair enough, this is Hidan my partner an S rank shinobi and I'm Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze also an S rank ninja..." he said getting wide eyed looks they may have been confined to the hideout but the guards and medics allowed them access to basic jutsu and any books they wished to read and one they all requested was the bingo book and they knew of these two ninja they were two of the 16 or so S rank ninja alive.

Dokumaru nodded "well now I can sssee how Orochimaru losssst two Ssss rankssss and one of them being the sssson of the yellow flassssh asss well it isss only undersssstandable...now I don't know about the otherssss but I wissssh to hear thissss offer you have young man."

Naruto nodded "thank you Dokumaru-san, my offer is quite simple you all have around 30 or more people in your factions correct..." the four nodded "...I was going to offer you and your...Clans a position in my Hidden sound village and for you four to join the village council alongside the head of the Fuma and Shinn clans and Shou and the other 3 non clan representitives. what do you say join my village and be accepted and have some form of power and say in the running of the village under mine and the de facto leader Guren's rule or wander the nations being shunned and living in fear of being hunted."

Mari wanting her little pride to have somewhere spoke first "Nya me and my pride will go, go indeed we will." Naruto nodded.

Lucius then barked out enthusiastically "the dog people will join under a powerful Alpha *woof woof*" he finished with a bark.

Dokumaru nodded and hissed "Me and my ssssubjectssss only follow the ssstrong and you are truly powerful it almosssst makesss me want to run away."

Usagi looked a little torn, seeing this Naruto spoke "Usagi-san I know where the completed designs are for the curse mark are and can alter yours and your fellow curse mark holders seals, this will allow you to control the mark allowing you to activate it when you want. Also I can help Jugo out and his urges once back at the village."

Usagi nodded dumbly "Why...why are you being so nice?"

Naruto smiled softly "you may not believe this but my sister was made a jinchuuriki and my old village shunned her and treated her as an outcast some of her senseis went as far as to sabotage her learning, granted she had me and our parents and couple of other people she could count on but ultimately she is like you in away and I can't stand seeing people treated like you were that is why I help those who have been outcasted by society where people see monsters I see beauty and uniqueness...does my answer satisfy you."

Usagi hearing that smiled and nodded "my ah my family will come with you."

Naruto nodded "Good it is only midday plenty of time to get packed and on the move..." he then unsealed eight sealing scrolls and handed two to each leader "...seal everything you wish to take with you and have everyone meet out here when they are done I will speak with Jugo.

Jugo's cell in a separate wing of the hideout

standing outside the cell Naruto could hear the ten year old crying, closing his eyes he unlocked and opened the door pushing it open when he opened the door he saw the ten year old with a manical look on his face charging him.

sighing Naruto in nearly a nano second had each of Jugos limbs wrapped up in a golden chain holding him off the ground, Naruto was standing with his hands in his pockets and was holding Jugo's gaze who was staring right back at him.

after a minute Jugo who was struggling ran out of energy and slumped and allowed his markings to receed back to where ever they came from the ten yr old then croaked out "please leave me alone I don't want to kill anyone again."

Naruto sighed and sat down on his carpet that floated behind him "Jugo...I'm here to help I can be the cage that you can vent on, I can help you with your urges unlike Orochimaru, Jugo I will help you just have to trust me and Usagi and the others who have been given your gift, trust is all I ask and I will help you right here right now."

Jugo just looked at him and felt warmth radiating off him and started to feel comfortable around him nodded "please can you help me mister, I trust you"

Naruto smiled and willed another chain to appear and watched as it shreadded Jugos shirt leaving him topless nodding he unsealed a brush and ink and started applying several seals on Jugo's person one on either side of his forehead which could be easily hidden if he grew out his hair, one just below where his collar bones meet, one on each shoulder and a large central one round his naval he then stood behind Jugo and applied three along his spine.

Jugo once the seals were drawn on could feel a difference he wasn't being flooded by energy that would slowly casue him to lose control it felt like a little trickle entering him but it didn't like before it felt more like him. he looked at Naruto and fell asleep since the change seemed to exhast him.

using his chains he moved Jugo onto his carpet and sat down next to the sleeping boy and ruffled his hair and set off for the entrance.

when they arrived he was greeted by over 200 people widening his eyes he saw 30 cat looking people and dog people aged from 30 right down to 5 yrs old and surprisingly they were being quite friendly with one another, he then saw around 50 different reptilian looking people and 90 people with various black markings all over their bodies and the same as the cat and dog people ranging from 5 to 30 yrs old.

Naruto floated over to Usagi "Jugo has a few seals on him that will absorb the nature energy his body naturally gathers and stores while converting it into normal chakra and slowly leaks it into his system his body is just getting used to the flow being nearly non exsitant."

Usagi nodded and lifted the sleeping Jugo up and held him close and nodded her thanks to Naruto, Naruto then turned to the 9 medics "I want two to each family and one roaming between the groups also me and Hidan will be up the front leading the way okay and it's a three day journey.

Tatsuo nodded and started ordering eveyone around and getting them ready to walk off.

3 days later.

Arriving at the village of sound Naruto was met by Guren and jirobo who he sent to gather Amaya and Karin and everything at the base as well as Tayuya and kidomaru who went to the hideout in frost as well as sakon and ukon wh went to kusa.

Naruto stopped his floating mat in front of Guren and said "So 30 more jonin come back or did they choose to stay with the frost Diamyo? and what of Amaya and Karin?"

Guren smiled "Tayuya says that of the 30 jonin 25 came back with the other 5 staying since they had started families and didn't wish to move..."

Naruto nodded "understandable...don't put them in the bingo book okay."

Guren nodded "of course as for Amaya and Karin came along with all the prisoners and shinobi guards which was about 100 more people with her and 10 of the shinobi being medics they set up a hospital tent on the outskirts of the village. and I took the liberty of ordering large amounts of building materials with the funds Orochimaru has in his vaults so we can expand and upgrade the infustructure. what about you Nii-sama?"

Naruto nodded "the northern base was very tame actually Nobu was dealt with and the nine shinobi under his command came willingly and are all medics so when I am done send them to Amaya also we have 4 new clans out of this little excursion the inu hitobito clan (dog people), Hachurui clan (reptile clan), Aka hokori clan (red pride) and the last group Shizenjin clan (nature people (Jugo's clan)) So can Sakon/Ukon take care of the Aka Hokori and have them set up in the north of the village, Tayuya set the Inu Hitobito clan up to the east, Jirobo the Hachurui inbetween the two and Guren the Shizenjin north east of the Aka Hokori and dish out some shelter to them as well."

everyone nodded and headed off to do what they were told, Naruto then started floating into the village proper with Hidan walking next to him "You know Naruto-kun your really good at this leading people you know we could stay here and run the village and not leave it all to Guren we are strong enough."

Naruto shook his head "No we wouldn't I mean we could but we wouldn't be able to do any diplomatic work outside the village because of our missing ninja status and the fact we are S ranks also there is this Akatsuki group I plan on us joining and helping out the jinchuuriki indirectly by tipping off the villages that hold a tailed beast the power of the jinchuuriki and the tailed beast for that matter is no joke and if what Guren says is true that they extract the beast you know what happens to a jinchuuriki when they lose there tailed beast they die, I will not and can not allow that to happen to Fuka and those who had the bijuu forced upon them so we will play along with them if we are invited to join the group."

Hidan Nodded agreeing granted she hadn't met Fuka but if she was anything like the man she had been crushing on she new she couldn't allow Naruto to go through with losing his sister to this organisation "I agree can't let that happen I'll follow you on this one Naruto-kun, like I have on all our other missions we've done together." as she said that she pecked Naruto on the cheek quickly and waved at a couple of children running around with bundles of canvas to make temporary shelters for the influx of people who arrived.

Naruto smiled at what Hidan did and said "Hidan-chan...time for me to meet some long lost family members."

Hidan nodded and patted him on the shoulder before he stood and went to enter the hospital tent only dodge out the way as a small red blur came whizzing through the tent flap seeing said blur was a little red headed girl Naruto controlled his carpet and made it float like a wall and watched as the girl ran into it, scooping her up in the carpet he made it come to him.

the little girl Karin had crimson eyes, fair skin, and the characteristic red hair of the Uzumaki clan which she wears in an unusual hairstyle; her hair is short and spiky on the right side, while longer and straight on the left side. She wears brown narrow glasses, she wore a fishnet shirt and stockings, a purple skirt, a light brown short sleeved jacket with a orange stripe going across the chest, and black sandals.

said girl was lying on the carpet Naruto bought the carpet to his eye level so his wine purple met her crimson red said "Karin Uzumaki I pressume and my cousin?"

Said little girl sat up and crossed her arms and pouted and then showing her spitfire nature like all Uzumaki women had said loudly "And you must be Naruto-itoko that Jirobo-kun told me and Mama about before coming here."

Naruto nodded "That would be me, but how did you know it was me when you couldn't even see me hmm"

Karin was about to give a snarky answer that Naruto was expecting because she acted just like his sister but was surprised when he heard and obviously more mature and deeper female voice catch his attention.

turning his gaze he saw a fairly tall and light-skinned woman with grey eyes. She had bright red hair, which was straight and chin-length and parted to frame both sides of her face. she also had red rimmed glassess and wore a pale yellow kimono top with a white cape that was tied round her neck she also had a pair of kunoichi ninja heeled sandels and a pristine white calf length skirt.

"That would because she subconsously uses her the minds eye of Kagura ability that is an ability some Uzumaki pick up much like the Chakra chains you either have one or the other, So Naruto Uzumaki may I ask you show proof of your lineage other than the red hair which is a common trait in the Uzumaki and the purple eyes that are a trait of the head family?"

Naruto hearing that Nodded and had 8 chains pop out his back. and start bobbing back and forth. "My mother is Kushina Uzumaki the Heiress of Uzu before it fell."

Amaya nodded "Ahh I thought as much considering there were only one or two Uzumaki outside the village at its fall, your mother and Mito sama being two of them I am afraid I don't know who the others are."

Naruto nodded and looked at Karin who was looking at his chains and had a content smile on her face and mumbled "Oh so much Chakra it's like I'm drowning so warm yet so cold."

Naruto just rose a brow at her and patted her on the head before floating the carpet over to Amaya who then picked Karin off it said "Oh before I forget I have nine medics under a man called Tatsuo are going to arrive soon I trust you can coordinate them Amaya the hidden sound head doctor...I think that has a nice ring to it." he said as he turned to walk away with Hidan following close behind him.

1 week later all base inhabitants bar the demon island lab in land of sea in the Hidden sound

sitting at the head of long rectangular table Naruto was sitting there with his elbows on the table with his finger interlaced in front of his face with Hidan and Guren either side of him looked over the new council for the Village

directly on his right and down the right hand side of the table was Shou, followed by Shinn, Hanzaki, Dokumaru and Lucius.

directly on his left and down the left hand side of the table was Usagi, Mari, Hisame an ex rain ninja who wanted a change of pace and has a good head on her shoulders shes a young, quite tall, and slim kunoichi with fair skin, short light brown unkempt spikey hair, azure blue earrings, red lipstick, pupil-less black eye irises, short thin light brown eyebrows and wears a white hairband over her head, holding the hair out of the way from her eyes. She wore a pink tube top that has a dark red linen along with a open, light blue shirt, navy blue pants and ninja sandals.

next to Hisame was Amaya and next to Amaya was a man called Jiro he was an ex cloud shinobi he had light brown skin midlenght brown curly hair, hazel coloured eyes and was an average build, and like most of the ninja of the village now they were wearing tunics like the sound 4 but due to rank in the village they had different coloured rope belts his being black denoting his jonin status.

deciding to get the proceedings over with Naruto decided to speak stopping there individual conversations. "Everyone the reason I called you all here is to tell you about my situation..."

Jiro being new to the village as well as Hisame spoke "what status would that be Lord Naruto?"

"my S rank criminal status..." Naruto then raised his hand stalling further talk "...I ask you stay silent until I finish cause I no doubt will answer your questions..." getting nods from everyone, naruto closed his eyes "as you know I am an S rank missing ninja from the leaf village my just being here in one place so long could have already tipped my father the Hokage off to my whereabouts, So I plan on running this Village from the shadows and using a De facto leader or figure head to be my will and word here in the village, since I don't wish for Iwa, kumo, sand, leaf or mist to come knocking on our door just yet...as for the figure Head she has agreed and Hanzaki, Shinn and Shou were all here when I chose her, so I expect you to treat her like you would me understood as I said she is my will and word during my absence from the village but I will pop by randomly with people to add to the village or just to check up on you all...any questions?"

it was dokumaru who spoke this time "Yesss milord...who isss thisss woman that we are to treat asss if they were you?"

Naruto nodded and gestured at Guren "That would be Guren here on my left as to why, well I've known her a couple of years since she and the sound four were my spies, that and I trust her judgement and silver tongue to go a long way in the political ring also I know she is very capable with her crystal release kekkei genkai...does my answer satisfy you all?"

each member nodded. clearing his throat Naruto unsealed a stack of files and read each one and handed them to the appropriate people. "Now on to the next order of business your various rolls in the village... as I hand out the folders each one contains a set budget you will have to work with to set up shop, along with various checkpoints and goals I want met by the end of the year which is by my count 10 months away and from the files Orochimaru and you clan leaders had on your clan mates and various people in the village I have gone and added them to your files if I think they maybe valuable to your program alright...

First Amaya Hospital CEO as of now you have 19 staff, your budget at the moment is 2,000,000 ryo that is to get all the needed equipment and build a hospital and set up a medical ninja program, I have added some names to your file that you maybe interested in. the rest is up to you"

Amaya grabbed the folder as it was slide across the table to her and started skimming through it and nodded her head.

seeing that Naruto continued "Hisame internal affairs, you will be in charge of the military police and correctional facility, you can choose a person to be incharge of the correctional facility and police but you have the last say your top dog understood, you have 2,000,000 ryo to get the facilities built, you can choose any of our shinobi to join as of now but in the future they must have a clean record and five years service before joining understood, the rest is up to you." he then handed the folder to Hisame.

she quickly like Amaya scanned through the file and nodded before saying "I would like to give academy graduates a chance to join as long as they do extra training that will be provided internally of course."

Naruto nodded "yes well after this meeting you can talk with the person in charge of the academy If this village is going to prosper we all have to work together and use inititive I can't baby you guys all the time and neither can Guren but I think that is a good Idea but as I said you should talk with whoever I say is incharge since they will have to give the students the option."

Hisame nodded and placed her folder down.

looking at the next folder he read "Usagi headmistress of the academy and coordinator of the village archive and Library as I said with Hisame you can have suboordinates that take care of the library and archive same as the other two 2,000,000 to get yourself set up, in the file are some prospective sensei, Now this is a non negotiable probably one of two youll hear this evening if I remember the graduation test will involve tree climbing level chakra control up and down a tree twice, being able to dispell a genjutsu, performing a substitution, transformation, any type of clone and either two offensive ninjutsu or defensive or one of each and a sound based jutsu. As for taijutsu we will teach them a basic style and all they have to do is last against a low genin level shinobi for 5 minutes understood, there will be no theory in the test they will learn maths, english, science, geography and the other hidden villages and what they are known for and they will be tested throughout the year regularly so as to keep them on there toes. and one last point you are to work with Hisame and Amaya about the police and hospital and offering the graduates a choice of doing the police training medic ninja training or joining the regulars and the last years will be required to complete a minimum of 5 D rank missions on weekends and they will be rotated through different team configurations with some chunin level shinobi.

Usagi nodded as she grabbed her file, to be honest like her female counterparts she was looking forward to her new job.

seeing Usagi happy Naruto looked at the next file(s) that were paper clipped together smirked *Ahem* "Mari, Lucius your going to be in charge of the hunter corp Mari the hunters and Lucius the trackers understood, and like everyone 2,000,000 to be spent wisely on setting things up understood not much is need you come up with the rules I can if need give you a run down at a later stage on how the Leaf oinin operated."

Lucius nodded and barked "Yes the pack will be ready to track down deserters lord"

Naruto nodded "Not just from your pack Lucius everyone has a right to join the hunters if they apply"

Lucius shook his head "Sorry Lord you miss understand I meant the village in this instance as the pack we are one pack now one that Lucius and his brothers and sisters are proud of joining"

Naruto nodded "I like that Lucius" he then flicked the two folders over to the two who didn't look at them.

"Dokumaru ANBU commander same as everyone 2,000,000 to get started two conditions jonin level ninja only and they are to be the best I want my ANBU to make the leaf and other major nations elite look like children understood and as a incentive I found the snake summoning scroll in one of the vaults in a hidden underground base near here."

Dokumaru nodded "Yesss Massster they will definatly be the bessst I will sssee to it persssonally"

Naruto nodded and looked at Shiin "Shiin torture/interrogation/intelligence same as Dokumaru but you can take chunin ninja in, you have 2,000,000 to work with also. your also a branch of ANBU."

he then handed the folder to shiin who looked through his file and nodded his head letting his leader know he understood Naruto then turned to the largest member of the group

"Hanzaki, the Fuma are known for their jutsu creation so I'm giving you and you clan free reign to research and experiment in making as many sound based jutsu as you can, also I want you in charge of the avery which will have our cryptographers in so they can decipher any coded messages for me and Guren you also have 2,000,000, you can get other shinobi within the village to help in the creation of sound based jutsu as well but your main task will be the cipher corpand seaing corp that will be incharge of a sensing barrier around the village." he finished and handed Hanzaki his folder.

Hanzaki took it and had a gleeful look in his eye it was right up his clans alley.

he then grabbed the next two folders "Jiro, Shou Jonin commanders in charge of the general shinobi forces outside of Anbu, Oinin, Cipher, police and academy, unless the village is being invaded you can boss anyone round other than ANBU, you will also be in charge of mission distribution, defences and tactics you have 2,000,000 also to get you started."

he then passed the folders to the two men who shared a mutual nod and read through their files.

seeing he had their attention still he looked at everyone "I want a standardised uniform you may have seen the start of it but as each child that will graduate they will recieve a tan coloured tunic like the sound five and a white rope belt, as they progress through rank they will be issued a different coloured belt chunin you get a Green one, Jonin get a black, the eiltes like the Anbu, hunters and the sound five will have purple and you commanders will have crimson oh all the tunics will have the sound emblem on unless you join the sound guard which will be made up of Tayuya, Sakon/Ukon, Jirobo, Kidomaru, Kimimaru the leader, Jugo, Shou and Kotohime they will have an imbalenced yin yang symbol and are the guards of the Otodotai (conductor of sound) Guren when she goes on a political mission."

hearing that everyone nodded and Hanzaki said "well I shall tell Kotohime the news when I get home."

Mari put her hand up said "with the uniform can I just where the belt and headband this kitty don't wear anything as she finds it to constricting."

Naruto sighed "no you don't have to wear it Mari, you can wearing anything under or over the tunic think of it as a canvas that you can decorate it you whished you could cut the sides out give the thing a plunging neck line or have it sitting off the shoulders, one sleeve no sleeves it doesn't matter just use it as a base and the belts signify your rank in the village much like the flak jackets in other nations."

it was then Hidan giggled behind her hand because he pretty much referenced her preistess outfit to everyone. Guren just shook her head and everyone smiled at their leaders imagination.

Naruto also added as he stood up and started walking to the door "Guren will provide you with any files you need on various shinobi and I suggest you advertise positions around our budding village, Guren and yourselves will decide where everything gets set up and since I know for a fact we have earth style users they can mark out certain areas and set foundations if needed."

as he got to the tent flap Hidan appeared by his side and gave him a heart winning smile but his attention was dragged away when Usagi called out "Lord where are you headed?"

Naruto smirk mischivously "to get the completed curse mark designs, kick a man named Amachi and save a little girl before coming back here correcting Orochimaru's horrid attempt at fuinjutsu and head off again and collect some bounties and send you guys the funds."

hearing that everyone chuckled and started sorting through various names and how they could get some basic medic and police training in the academy and where the different buildings will go.

Naruto and Hidan walked out the tent and saw it was reasonably light outside and headed off towards the hidden leaf village.

a day later near the valley of the end

standing on Hashirama's head Naruto and Hidan were standing opposite Kakuzu and Sasori of the red sands.

Sasori not liking things taking so long started speaking in a gravelly voice "Naruto Uzumaki, Hidan our leader wishes to extend an offer of joining the organisation Akatsuki."

Naruto nodded "so whats this organisations goals then?" he said from his seated position on his carpet while Hidan was allowing her hand to slowly twitch as if anticipating an up coming fight.

Kakuzu spoke this time "If we tell you and you decline then we have no choice but to kill you"

Naruto spoke "Yeah good luck with that so what our your goals?"

"Yeah fucktard tell us already Naruto-kun was going to show this girl a good time by letting me kill a bastard that likes experimenting" said Hidan

Sasori if he could raised a brow at her language said "well since Orochimaru defected, we have been looking for members to join..."

"Heh snake face is dead Naruto-kun killed him a week and a half ago and took this sword/summoning and fancy ring off him as well" said Hidan proudly

Kakuzu hearing that said "Have you collected the 73,000,000 ryo bounty on his head yet?"

Naruto shook his head "Nah I was going to do it sometime soon...so what's your organisations objectives?"

Sasori answered this time "Our objectives our Obtain enough money to support the organisation. Provide mercenary services at well under the competitive rate, using the money gathered in the first step to offset costs. This will make countries increasingly more dependent on Akatsuki's services, corner the entire market for shinobi missions, and eventually put all of the shinobi villages out of business because they can't compete with Akatsuki's prices. By capturing and strategically deploying the tailed beasts, Akatsuki could quickly start and then quell wars, thereby speeding up the process. Once all other major shinobi forces have dissolved, Akatsuki will be able to quickly conquer all the countries of the world.

Naruto hearing the objectives nodded and stood from his mat making Kakuzu and Sasori tense sligthly since only his mouth had moved during the entire conversation until just then, stepping off the carpet Naruto looked them both in the eyes "So when do we start."

Sasori and Kakuzu hearing that nodded to one another, Sasori went silent and unmoving giving Pain the news and Kakuzu looked at Naruto "wheres Orochimaru's ring?"

Naruto reached into his pouch and pulled it out and held it up to Kakuzu. nodding the man said gruffly "Good put it on your left little finger..." he then looked at Hidan and pulled out another ring this one being an orange colour with the kanji for 3 on it said "put it on your left index finger"

Grumbling Kakuzu pulled out a sealing scroll and unsealled the content revealling two black high collared cloaks with red cloud motif on and a pair of conical straw hats with small ornamental torques and tassels hanging down.

Hidan picking up her cloak looked at it and muttered "needs some work" she then pulled off her preistess robe and tossed it on Naruto's carpet before placing on her new cloak and hat.

Naruto seeing what she was doing put on his own cloak and had the front slightly unbuttoned and left his arms out of the sleeve, he then placed the hat on obscuring his face like Hidan from veiw.

Sasori stirred shortly after they changed and said "Leader-sama has summoned the organisation, just push chakra into the ring and let it do the work"

Nodding the two followed Kakuzu and Sasori who closed their eyes both sitting on the ground Naruto and Hidan sat on his carpet closed their eyes and concentrated on the ring.

suddenly they found themselves as rainbow projections in a cave somewhere where they were also accompanied by Sasori, Kakuzu and the two others Naruto and Hidan knew them from the bingo book, Kisame Hoshigaki, Deidara, it was then Naruto saw girl with an origami flower in her hair and spikey haired male that matched a certain description of someone he had been told about. there was also a guy with a spiral mask and a plant looking man they didn't know.

Pain seeing Naruto and Hidan in uniform nodded his head "Naruto Uzumaki and Hidan welcome to Akatsuki, and I thank you for Killing Orochimaru and recovering his ring for the organisation."

Naruto just nodded his head slightly making the ornamental torques tinkle a little. Hidan being more out spoken said rather exuberantly "Hell yeah you should have seen the body covered in all manner of damage and blunt force trauma hit to the face literally decapitating him except for the fact his head is only held on by a flap of skin but that's details"

some of the other members hearing that were silently impressed but regarded the two carefully one was immortal and very powerful and the other was rumoured to be able to fight toe to toe with the yellow flash and the copy ninja, and now he has proved to be able to kill a sannin not to mention his bingo book says don't approach unless your a kage meaning 5 possibly six people in all the nations could hold a candle to the young man and quite frankly it made even Kisame a little nervous.

Pain then went on to explain in more depth the objectives of Akatsuki and what the teams were and there specific targets which ended being Hidan the the two tails, Naruto the nine tails and both of them the three tails when it reforms.

nodding at their assignments Pein dismisses them all and watches as they all fade out except Naruto who stands there silently regarding him and Konan. he was then mildly surprised when Naruto spoke "Never expected Jiraiya-sensei's first students to be leading the organisation, Yahiko, Konan"

Konan hearing he was a fellow student nodded "a pleasure to meet a sibling student when did you study under Jiraiya sensei?"

"My last couple of years at the academy but like you he had to leave on a secret spying mission eh what can you do." replied Naruto.

Konan nodded and was about to bid Pein and Naruto good day when Naruto spoke "Shame Nagato didn't show according to a blood sample Jiraiya sensei took from him he is my cousin with his mother being my mothers sister. ah well can't always have it but if ya see him tell him he has family in me and my mother and sister in the leaf and a nice Uzumaki couple I met in Rice after disposing of the snake."

Konan nodded and disappeared Naruto then looked at Pein "Weird I always thought Jiraiya sensei said it was Nagato with the ringed eyes oh well might have not listened to him, seeya Yahiko" and with that Naruto left.

when he was gone Pain frowned "you know to much cousin don't do anything stupid...or god will punish you." at that said he disappeared from the cavern.

back outside

opening his eyes he saw Kakuzu and Sasori were gone, looking at Hidan who said with an annoyed scowl "let's kill this mad scientist already."

Naruto nodded his head and they headed off.

four weeks later on there way out of the land of tea Naruto is walking beside Hidan with the carpet just behind them with a little girl sleeping soundlessly on it with a blanket over the top, the girls name was Isaribi who was a test subject and she was ten.

as they were walking Naruto looked at Hidan "I need to do somethings in the land of fire before heading back to sound So i'll meet you there." as he said that he disappeared from view.

Hidan sighed "aw hell at least I got you Isaribi-chan, alright mister carpet lets get back to the hidden sound eh she said as she sat next the sleeping girl and put her chakra in the seals making them lift further off the ground until they were travelling over the tree tops at a reasonably fast speed.

Naruto was running towards the the hidden mask shrine near the leaf village, knowing at top speed he could reach it in an hour his only risk was that the shrine was practically split in half by the leaf proximity barrier meaning he would have to be in and out quickly.

as he was running he summoned a 5ft tall macaque monkey who started jumping through the trees with Naruto and said "NARUTO-SAMA, WHY HAVE YOU SUMMONED MONA-CHAN?"

Naruto smirked and said "Hmm do you like pulling pranks little one?"

Mona hearing that nodded enthusiastically "MONA-CHAN AND HER SIBLINGS LOVE TO CAN YOU SUMMON MY SIBLINGS AS WELL FOR THIS PRANK?"

Naruto nodded "I will but I need to tell you the plan first..." getting a nod from mona he continued "after this next stop I will be heading towards a village and I want you to go home and then resummon yourself and your siblings near a chakra source in the village that feels similar to mine you Mona-chan are to seek out a red headed woman and give her the summoning scroll so she can sign don't worry she will have the same eyes as mine, while you do that Mona I give your siblings permission to go on a pranking spree in the village and cause as much mayhem as possible, then Mona your second objective is to head for a large red building in the middle of the village and steal hat from a man with sunny blonde hair it will be hanging on the wall of his office okay and then you have to see how long you can keep it away from him understood."

Mona nodded and gained a sadistic and happy smile "MONA-CHAN AND HER SIBLINGS LOVE YOU NARUTO-SAMA, MONA-CHAN STAY UNTIL YOU GIVE THE SIGNAL."

Naruto nodded his head and saw in the distance the shrine.

after another five minutes of running Naruto appeared by the mask shrine and placed a sealing scroll on the surface and pumped quite a bit of chakra into it and said to himself "seal" as he did the building went up in smoke sealed away seeing as the building left a hole in the barrier for a minute he slipped in unnoticed with Mona hot on his heals as they got to with sight of the main gates of the village Naruto handed Mona the summoning scroll and said "Do it Mona chan"

Mona nodded and disappeared.

while Mona was gone Naruto stealthily made his way to the side of the village where his old family home was.

After gathering her siblings Mona searched out for a chakra source near Identical to her summoners and made sure it was female as well before summoning herself and her siblings their.

Kushina who was walking through the market getting groceries jumped when a cloud of smoke appeared when the cloud was blown away she was shocked to see a Macaque summon which used to be her clans. it was then a female one about five foot in height came up to her and spoke knocking her out of her shock that made her miss the other seven monkeys run off to cause mayhem. "MY MASTER TOLD ME TO GIVE YOU THIS HE SAID IT WAS A GIFT...FOR FAMILY"

as soon as Mona made sure the scroll was in Kushina's grip she sprinted toward the Kage tower.

Kushina hearing the message shakily openned the scroll and saw it Naruto's name signed in blood next to seven crossed out names. seeing the name and hearing the message Kushina picked up the groceries and shunshinned to Minato.

Minato himself was looking out the window of his office with Jiraiya, kakashi and Anko at what could be considered chaos or Kushina pulling multiple pranks in her academy days, it was then they caught a movement out the corner of their eyes and saw a large monkey grabbing the Hokage hat and dashing out the door.

Minato then turned to the other only to see Jiraiya and Anko busting a gut at what just happened and Kakashi was trying to hide his amusement, Minato then said "Did I or did I not just see a monkey steal my hat and several other monkeys causes havoc in my streets."

it was then Jiraiya lost his shit and started rolling on the floor laughing and Anko had to lean against the wall and Kakashi had to sit down.

It was then Kushina burst through the room with a puff of smoke and saw what was happening out the window and what the people in the room were doing laughed and said "Minato-kun I know who has caused this commotion."

Minato wanting to know who was responsible for hat theft and public disorder grinned gleefully and chuckled darkly "Kukuku do tell Kushina"

Kushina slightly creeped out retold them what happened to her in the market place and showed them scroll.

Minato hearing it nodded "Yes but what does he accomplish by coming here what could we possibly have that he needs"

with Naruto ten minutes ago

during the Chaos Naruto managed to sneak into his old home and into his parents room and started rummaging for his mothers locket finding the locket after ten minutes searching in a safe under their bed protected by a blood seal Naruto is about to leave but takes out the Kusanagi blade writes a note and places both on his parents bed before jumping out the window and heading off.

while he was running he passed the academy and saw a couple of children falling prey to some pranks the monkeys had set up he then smirked when he saw his sister get caught in a noose by her ankles and be covered in feathers and glue writing a quick note he threw a kunai and made sure it cut the rope and imbedded in the tree. staying where he was clad in his Akatsuki gear he waited a minute to see her reaction.

Fuka cursing at being caught in a dasterdly brilliant prank she would have to use in the future, cursed again when she found herself landing heavily on the ground looking up at a Kunai with a note on getting up with as much dignity she could muster she read the note and her eyes widened reading it looking in the direction the kunai came from she saw a cloak clad form standing on a tree in the distance she was about to run towards the figure since she was sure it was her brother frowned when he just vanished from sight. huffing she stomped back towards class but heard a teacher dissmissing them home because of the amount of bad pranks that were going on.

making her way home she walked in the front door and saw her mother and father in front of a cornered Mona wearing her daddies hat, she then looked back over the village and remembered seeing plumes of smoke going off.

she then said "Mum, dad what are you doing to the Macaque Monkey"

Mona finally hearing her actual species sighed "THANK THE MONKEY SAGES SOMEONE KNOWS THERE ANIMALS, OH WELL IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAUGHT ME BLONDIE AND RED, BY THE BY NARUTO-SAMA SAYS HI AND HOPEs YOU LIKED HIS GIFT OF JOY AND HILARITY ME AND MY SIBLING BOUGHT TO YOU GOODBYE" as she said that she disappeared in a poof of smoke.

Fuka having seen her dads toads talk didn't bat an eye but said no shouted "DAM YOU NII-CHAN YOU WERE SO CLOSE BUT YOU SLIPPED THROUGH MY GRASP AND HAD THE AUDACITY TO WITNESS AND LAUGH AT MY PLIGHT OF BEING ON THE RECIEVING END OF A PRANK...i'm losing my touch...sniff...sniff" she finished.

Kushina and minato looked at her strangely but shook it off Minato said he would get take out and went off to get it will Kushina took Fuka upstairs for a bath. while Fuka was bathing Minato returned and went to there room only to find the blood sealed safe open and on the bed next to a blade he never thought would be in his house went to the door "Ah Kushi-chan come here a second dear"

Kushina hearing the uncertainty in Minato's voice left the bathroom and met Minato by their bedroom door only to see her jewellry all over the place and the blood sealled safe on the bed open right next to the Kusangi blade that belongs...to...Orochimaru.

Kushina then freaks out and checks the safe while Minato picks up the note and reads it. Kushina knowing what was in the safe took a quick inventory and said loudly "Naruto when I get my hands on you for stealling the completeded designs of the Uzumaki curse mark which you know is forbidden oohh why you little if he is in cahoots with the snake I'm going to tan his hide a new shade of red when I find him..."

Minato silently amused by his wifes tanturm snapped her out of it said "No he isn't working for the snake thats for sure this sword is a gift for Fuka-chan he said it was a fair trade and that we maybe in for a surprise in the next couple of weeks and that we should be grateful and say yes to whatever is asked."

Kushina then snatches the note "Does it say what the curse mark is for?"

Minato just shook his head "none...but I want to know is why risk being caught now after 2 and a half years of flying below the radar, then again he will just disappear again dammit Naruto you just had to complicate things didn't you."

Kushina just nodded "Yep but now I have to get Yugao-chan and see if she will teach Fuka how to use the Kusanagi" Minato jsut nodded.
