Chapter begin

"Hidan my dear are these really the only people who showed up, I must say I am kind of...disappointed but then again they are only mercenries and pawns who will play to my tune" said Naruto as he looked at monitor screen with a bored frown as he observed the room full of mercs and missing ninja.

Hidan sighed knowing he was hoping for a few more people picked up a clipboard with the list of people "Yes these are all the wannabe's who thought they could deal with the devil, but I thought you were going to offer these people a home in the Sound village?"

Naruto nodded "that's correct but I may have forgotten to mention that I was only going to extend that offer to certain people, whose on the list again Hidan-chan? I don't recognise some of the people."

Hidan blushing faintly but gained a cruel smile knowing he was going to be sending some of these ninja on suicide mission cleared her throat delicately, I say delicately only because over the last two years Amaya being the eldest Uzumaki in the Village was named as head of the Sound Uzumaki and found out about Hidan's crush on Naruto and pretty much beat some manners and ettiqutte into the her.

Naruto who new about her crush and subsequent lessons with Amaya inwardly grinned with amusement wondering how long he should keep her trying, but outwardly he kept up his usual bored look and waved for her to continue. Hidan doing so read the list.

"A group of three brothers who call themselves the Janin the eldest is Renga and their leader, middle brother Jiga and the youngest Ruigi, hire themselves out to anyone paying big money and will do any job..."

"Hmm I will have Mona keep an eye on them and if they perform sufficiently I will extend an invitation to the Sound..."

Next we have a group of four under the leadership of Zabuza Momochi of the seven swordsmen also known as the demon of the bloody mist and weilder of Kubikiribocho, his followers are his apprentice Haku Yuki of the extinct yuki clan and the the demon brothers also of the mist..."

"I don't trust Zabuza but I will have Elfey keep an eye on the girl and brothers depending on if they survive...long enough..."

Hidan shook her head "Next is another four man team under the leadership of Kazuma a former member of the guardian shinobi before a slight civil war, anyway his team is made up of a two women and a man. The women are Fuka and Fuen and there is a possibility that Fuka is an Uzumaki due to her red hair and grey eyes which are common traits amongst the Uzumaki, lastly the sole other man Fudo not much on him though same with Fuen..."

"Oddball will keep an eye on Fuka this supposed Uzumaki as for the others Kazuma won't survive same as Fudo, Fuen maybe Rekkusu can keep an eye on her and if she is deemed an assest he'll step in..."

Hidan nodded at Naruto's comment completely agreeing Kazuma looked really untrustworthy "right next is Raiga also of the seven swords and wielder of the twin lightning fangs Kiba, he is alone at the moment but has a gang of low level ninja opperating out of grass country near the kantabami mine..."

"Hmm...Raiga doesn't interest me but find out more on his gang there could be a gemstone amoungst coal there always is one, when he does die I'll have Giggles and Vu-asu collect the swords and whoever they deem worthy..."

Again Hidan nodded "Next is the Magaki group a bunch of no names under a man called Shiranami tsuchigumo, nothing really worth mentioning other than their names all men Akaboshi, Benten, Chushin and Nango."

"Hmm remind me to send them on a suicide mission like trying to assassinate the kazekage or tsuchikage."

Hidan just giggled evilly at that knowing her partner had no time for weaklings. clearing her throat again she read the next name "Aoi Rokoshu the theif of the raijin no ken jonin rank chunin level..."

"...power and an arrogant son of a bitch and I had the displeasure of meeting both him and the next man Mizuki touji although intel says Mizuki is still part of the leaf well we'll find out soon enough when the time comes kill Aoi, Mizuki could be valuble if he is still part of the leaf other than that expendable."

Hidan nodded while giving Naruto a mild glare for talking over her. spoke again "Next we have two brothers and a sister from the Kamizuru clan of Iwa they became missing ninja because they felt they were a disgrace to their village...these guys are jonin level a asset to the Sound in my opinion you should offer them a position in the village and a chance to start up there own clan there. there name are Jibachi, Kurobachi and Suzumebachi"

Naruto nodded actually liking the idea "Yes that is a very good Idea Hidan-chan, very good they will be excellent addition"

Hidan blushing and smiling at the praise frowned at the next group of names "next we have the 4 celestials symbols men from the Artisan village, they are under the leadership of Hoki and their goal is to resurect the their dead founder Seimei, I say kill them."

Naruto frowned he always hated people who wanted to bring the dead back even more so when he found Orochimaru's completed notes of the forbidden reanimation jutsu. "Hmm no need to get our hands dirty with it let them go through with the plan and then when the times right tip off the leaf and they will sort it out."

Hidan nodded agreeing with his decision, She then followed Naruto into the next room that used to be Orochimaru's old thrown room and watched him sit on the thrown his hands hidden by his Akatsuki cloak and his face obscured by his hat. had his legs stretched out in front of him and crossed over. he then motioned for Hidan to get the ball rolling.

Nodding Hidan pressed a button on the wall and spoke into a microphone that connected with the next room where the ninja were waiting.

in the room

Zabuza leaning against a wall was eyeing everyone up and making sure he could see everyone he was knocked out of his thoughts when his apprentice and tool spoke "Zabuza sama why are we here again?"

Zabuza remembering he hadn't told her and the brothers why said "money and funds for the rebellion which is in the closing stages."

"How do you know this benefactor is reliable?" Haki asked with concern.

Zabuza just sighed "won't know till we meet the man or woman..."

'WILL ZABUZA MOMOCHI AND HIS GROUP PLEASE COME THROUGH TO THE NEXT ROOM' Hidans voice rang out over the loudspeaker.

Zabuza straightened up and headed for the door with the brothers and Haku close behind.

in the thrown room

standing across from the two cloaked figures Zabuza couldn't help but feel intimidated a little.

Naruto seeing this smirked behind his cloak collar and gave him his offer and specific jobs he wanted them to do...

(I will not do every group, but link up each group to the cannon or filler episodes and just know that Naruto has a spy that isn't Kabuto in the Leaf village and will send each group on a colision course with Fuka and her team, except for Suzumebachi and her brothers who accepted the offer of joining the village. he Also sent his Macaque summons Mona, Elfey Rekkusu, Giggles, Oddball and vu-asu to follow those mentioned what will happens who knows but there will be a twist.)

At the end seeing as they all left one by one Naruto turned to Hidan and gave a weary sigh and said lets head to sound and see how much they have done since we last visited 2 months ago."

Hidan nodded "Yes and if they kept with your schedual you made by the time we get their you can help Guren with deciding which villages to visit for diplomactic reasons."

Naruto nodded "Yes that is true but there is something else need to talk to her about though."

one week later.

"I still can't believe the igenuity of the people of this village to build all the residences in the trees itself is a amazing something even I didn't think of." said Naruto as he looked up and saw a particulalry large platform that was supported by seven trees with pathways built going off in various directions connecting up with platforms around the same size with Houses either built in the actual trunk of the tree or as a tree house and perched off the side."

Hidan nodded "I agree but reusing the old village that was already there and using the clearing for the administration facilities, academy, hospital, police force, library and research labs was a good Idea as well as Dokumaru and Shiin utilising the underground tunnels that Orochimaru had and using them for ANBU, torture and interrogation as well as the prison." she said as she waved to a child that came outside a particularly large tree house building which was the orphanage.

standing in front of the Otodotai tower, which reminded Naruto and Hidan of the buildings you see in Mist and Rain villages couldn't help but think of how much work actually went into building the tower, it was made out of wood and if you looked carefully you could see that Guren used her crystal release and made collums that went up the building at various intervals strengthening it greatly and on the top of the tower was a platform that stuck out creating quite a large sheltering that had some swing bridges that branched off in every direction into the forest.

Naruto then looked off just to the left of the tower and at the tree line and could see a couple of buildings that accomodated the group of blacksmiths who lived in the village one of them being Randel who Naruto picked up after meeting back up with Hidan after picking up the completed designs for the curse mark two years ago.

as Naruto and Hidan reached the new academy they were met by Hisame in the village uniform and crimson rope belt the tunic was sitting off the shoulders, the sides cut out and she had her cardigan on, she also wore pale blue leggings that reached mid calf and some strappy ninja sandal.

when she saw Naruto and Hidan she bowed her head "lord Otodotai, Lady Hidan, it is wonderful to see you again as you can see we have all but completed the building of the village all we need to do now is coax some more civilians in the land of rice to set up shops and busnesses here."

Naruto nodded to her "Yes we were just commenting on the ingenuity of building in the trees and using the clearing for the administration buildings, tell me what is the distance now from the Otodotai tower to the yongeto no Oto (4 gates of sound)"

Hisame nodded and thought for a minute "from the tower to the kita (north) gate five kilometers and the village is a perfect circle now so it is five kilometers to the minami (south), nishi (west) and azuma (east) gates, and Guren sama is coordinating our earth style users in creating a wall that reaches up till just below the canopy and is going round the outside and putting up crystal collums to strengthen it as well as infusing her crystals in the earth wall hardening it, we have tested it and nothing short of an S class lightning or wind jutsu will be knocking her down." she replied proudly.

Hidan who got on well with all the women on the council giggled slightly at her trying to show off to her leader.

Naruto tilted his head minutely "Good, very good, Hisame how many people in the police force now and is there anyone in the prisons?"

Hisame nodded "As you know I directly run the police and have a fellow ex-rain ninja kirisame in charge of the prison, now I have at the moment 25 law enforcement officers and 5 prison wardens but we find the prison surprisingly lacking with only one man in there but he was a spy from Kumogakure on a long term mission to find out if we were a threat or not that was all Shiin got from the guy."

Naruto nodded again from his seated position on his carpet nodded "Thank you Hisame, now could you do me a favour and let the council know I would like to have meeting with them so they can give me status updates...oh and where would I find Guren?"

Hisame nodded and bowed her head "It will be done Lord Otodotai and Guren is in the Otodotai's office on the second floor from the top of the tower." Hisame said and disappeared to find the council members.

turning to Hidan, Naruto looked up at her "I take you don't want to be present when I tell Guren of what I have planned for her adoptive son"

Hidan nodded "yep you got that right I would rather she hate you than me speaking of him I might go see how the tyke is doing in his first year of the Sound Academy."

Naruto just sighed hearing her answer and waved for her to go. Hidan seeing he didn't mind whooped for joy and uncharacteristically skipped away. shaking his head Naruto floated toward the Otodotai tower.

Otodotai office

Sitting in the comfy chair behind the Otodotai's desk Naruto lent back and looked out the 180 degree office window a that overlooked the academy, hospital and part of the police force head quarters, if he looked further beyond that you could see various Lanterns placed at intervals along the pathways and on the platform and above the entrance to each house fighting off the gloom of being under the tree canopy and if he listened closely he could hear the rusling and whistling of the wind gently going throught the trees and in the gaps of the suspended pathways 'truly we are the hidden sound village now, I'm glad I took this investment'. sighing he swivled the chair back round facing the door since he sensed someone coming.

when the door open he saw the person he was looking for coming back from a bathroom break. Guren being told by her secratary Chibara Fuma that Naruto was waiting for her greeted him "Nii-sama I am glad to see you again how has been sabotaging you know who."

Naruto smirked at what Guren said but then frowned a little something that she caught since he wasn't wearing his ever present hat. "Hmm I suppose you could say that it is going fine with that plan, Nagato or should I say Pain my cousin seems to like me only because we are of similar nature and the like I actually plan on telling...no warning him that if I find Akatsuki enter this village or land for what ever reason it won't matter he that he claims to be a god I will kill that particular member."

Guren nodded knowing full well even though he wasn't round the village all the time his presence was felt through his summons that people had fallen in love with and let their children play with the smaller ones or liked watching them jump through the tree tops...she was then knocked out of her thoughts by Naruto..."Guren...I need to tell you something you may not like hearing."

Hearing that couldn't help but frown and with trepidation nodded for him to continue.

Naruto closed his eye gathering his thoughts quickly and how to put what he wanted say delicatly and also how to weather the possible impending shit storm. finally deciding to speak he opened his eyes "Guren I need Yukimaru to become the jinchuuriki of the newly formed three tailed beast."

Guren hearing her big brother in all but blood and Yukimaru's uncle, wanted to turn him into a Jinchuuriki with the likes of the Akatsuki running round gained a dangerous look in her eye one that Naruto only ever saw once in his life and that was when his mother caught Jiraiya peeking on her while in their family hot spring lets just say Naruto never knew someone could produce such high pitched screams and still come out the other side a man. seeing Guren gain that look made him...him an S rank ninja with warning for all those under Kage level to flee on sight a man known for his cunning, wit and brutality on the battle field was unnervered by a woman gone into mother hen mode wanted to be anywhere but in her line of sight.

he then waited for the incoming pain but got a tongue lashing instead "You want to turn my precious Yukimaru into a sacrifice with the Akatsuki running rampant, are you fucking serious Naruto, did you hit your head or something in the last two months because if you think for one minute that I will let you make him like Fuka then you are sadly mistaken, Don't get me wrong I have nothing against Jinchuuriki but...but...NO your not doing it, And besides how do you know he can handle a demon being sealed inside him. he is eight years old." she all but screamed at him.

in the council chamber a floor below Hidan snickered when she heard Guren blow her top at Naruto, Amaya sighed 'huh if I didn't know any better you would think Guren was an Uzumaki with her lung capacity and hot temper but then you could say that about a few females and males in the village for that matter hmm might have to do blood tests.'

Usagi and Hisame shook their heads, Mari meowed cutely, Lucius woofed quietly and covered his ears, Dokumaru, Shiin and Hanzaki shared a knowing look since they had been on the reciving end of something similar from their better halves, Shou ignored it and had his eyes closed and Jiro snickered.

hidden in the shadows of the room the rest of the sound guard Tayuya, Sakon/Ukon, Jirobo, Kidomaru, Kimimaru (Amaya let him drink her chakra curing him), Jugo who doesn't lose it anymore and Kotohime all sighed knowing Guren could get like this especially when someone pissed her off and it sounded like Naruto just did an amazing job.

Tayuya shook her head "heh Oji-chan is probably taking the whole thing with a blank face what a champ, Guren-nee could scream herself haorse and not get anywhere. Ufufufu'

back in the Otodotai office

Naruto hearing the last bit of her little rant spoke up effectively cutting her off "oh the three tails wont take over because one he is a blood relative of the forth Mizukage Yagura who has recently died a year ago in the mist bloodline civil war which still continues thanks to his loyalists who are still numerous, furthermore I am a sealling master like my father and mother and I know the perfect seal for him the Hachi toraiguramu Raitetsu shīru (eight trigram lightning iron seal), it takes the Iron armoured seal and the eight trigrams seal and combines the two so he would be perfectly fine and besides no one knows of the Village and by me warning Pain and the other Akatsuki away from here under threat of death he will be safe to train as well which will increase of course all I ask is you lend me the sound guard for a week or two."

Guren seeing a determined look and a look that reassured her as if to say he wouldn't let anything happen to Yukimaru, sighed "Fine but I don't like and you owe me and Yuki-kun big time."

Naruto nodded "Hai, Hai... we should go downstairs and join the council meeting I asked to be held so they can give me and Hidan a status update."

Guren gaining a teasing smile nodded "Mhmm so when are you going to ask her out or finally give into her it is kind of painful watching her sometimes."

Naruto smirked "Hmmm I was thinking after the sealing of Yukimaru but I admit it is both cute and amusing to see her try and act like a dignified lady but that wasn't why I fell for her."

Guren nodded "Yep, you know if she ever found out you acted oblivious to her actions and advances for the past year she may end up trying to kill you."

Naruto shook his head "I beg to differ, she stopped trying to kill me a month after meeting me she'll try and publically humiliate me but meh, she hasn't gotten me yet."

Guren sighed and giggled behind her hand as they neared the council chamber doors.

Konohagakure Kage Office.

"Jiraiya sensei what news could be so important you had gamataro summon me on my way home for my afternoon off." questioned a tired but alert Minato as he looked at the inordinarily serious face of Jiraiya.

Jiraiya standing in front of Minato nodded "yes well this couldn't wait we have big trouble, enough trouble that I am considering taking Fuka on as my apprentice come the end of this years Chunin exams in 9 months."

Minato looked at him oddly "Jiraiya sensei whats this trouble speak plainly, and I wanted Fuka to be on a team for a year or two under Kakashi before having you take her on."

Jiraiya shook his head "Minato don't get me wrong I completely agree but I don't think Kakashi will be able to handle who this trouble is."

Minato sat down in his chair and sighed "Why do I feel like I won't like what I'm going to hear and that I maybe fearing for my life when telling Kushina in the tomorrow morning after thinking on all this."

Jiraiya if his mood at the moment allowed would have smiled but didn't and pushed on "As you know I have been trying to track down Naruto to see if I can figure out what he is planning and if so was it anything bad or would it effect the village as of two years ago he and fellow S ranker he had been travelling with called Hidan joined an Organisation..."

Minato looked at him worriedly "Organisation? what Organisation, what's it's purpose?"

Jiraiya nodded "...none of my spies or anyone I have talked to know for sure, but it is a roving gang of 10 like minded shinobi who work in pairs and call themselves the Akatsuki, they set themselves apart by wearing a black cloak with red clouds on, at first intel says they stuck to small time cloak and dagger stuff nothing dramatic. But you knew something big was coming considering who they are, Minato these aren't small timers almost everyone in the Organisation is listed in the Bingo book as an S class criminal deviant, for instance your son Naruto and his partner Hidan an ex kunoichi of the old hot springs village are two of them. when ten shinobi like that get together Minato you know they aren't interested in charity work."

Minato put his hand up stopping Jiraiya "I think I know where this is headed."

Jiraiya nodded "Okay but I have more information...now Orochimaru was one of these members at one stage but he left and between him leaving and Naruto joining I have reason to believe Naruto killed him not only because no one has spotted him but also because Fuka now weilds the Kusanagi anyway they have all split into pairs and spread out across the nations searching for new jutsu and other things as well, more specifically the tailed beasts, but that is a possibility at the moment but they no doubt have the fire power to take them away forcefully from their villages, and it makes sense with the beasts being concentrated massess of chakra."

Minato sighed hearing what he was afraid of "Well I'm going to head home and think pn this and in the morning after Fuka graduates we will bring her here with Kushina and you will explain everything to them, also from now on she is going to be shadowed everywhere when she is in the village by a team of ANBU outside the village shouldn't be a problem since it will be harder for them to track her, but I can see how well they're going to take the news I hope you have finalised your will because you'll be facing something far worse than Kyuubi you'll be facing two angry Uzumaki women good luck sensei." minato said as he vanished in a flash.

Jiraiya cried anime tears and shouted "CURSE YOU NARUTO AND YOU TOO MINATO!"

Sound council chambers

"Good so it is decided we will engage with Hoshigakure and Kirigakure diplomatically in hope of getting trade and military alliances from them, and after speaking with them head to Konohagakure with Orochimaru's body." said Guren

Naruto quickly spoke up adding his two cents since he listened to his council make the decision before giving his opinion " Wait a couple of months before speaking with Kiri I may have a trump card that will help raise our chances of gaining an alliance with them, I would also advise in my absence before before going to Kiri or any other major nations, visit some of the minor nations in that Island chain that streches from water country all the way up to Kumo and see where you get with them, and try for some nations without shinobi like vegetable, swamp, neck and so on they could be beneficial for trade and missions in the future. I myself will head for the Hidden Rain Village and talk with Hanzo the Salamander."

Guren and the other council members nodded in agreement with what Naruto said and some of them were going to bring up those points if he didn't, accumalate the minor nations as allies and clients first and then evolve and try for the more major nations.

seeing they were happy Naruto dismissed them all and turned to Guren "could you collect Yukimaru-kun I wish to tell him of our plans don't worry I am sure he will understand."

Guren nodded but gained a scowl at the thought of her little boy being a jinchuuriki.

when she was gone Naruto said to seemingly an empty room even though Hidan was by his side in her modified Akatsuki robe that resembled her old priestess robe "Sound guard you will be accompanying me and Hidan on a mission that will possibly take a week, this will be an S Rank mission, we will be heading for the northern coast of the land of waves, the last known location of the three tailed turtle when we find it we are to restrain it while I seal it inside young Yukimaru, he will be our villages Jinchuuriki and protector and if I find out he was ostricised or abused in my absence after the sealing then this village better pray to the gods I am in a merciful mood."

he didn't get a verbal response but he knew them well enough to know they had placed their right fist over their hearts.

Just then Guren returned with Yukimaru.

Naruto seeing Yukimaru smiled kindly at the eight year old and gestured for him to come over to him "Yukimaru come here would you I have a gift and something important to tell you."

Yukimaru always enjoying his surrogate uncles company only because they would do duets with their flutes which was something that surprised everyone that Naruto knew how to play, grinned and ran over to him and softly spoke as he hugged Naruto "Oji-sama, we all missed you so much and I have to tell you about what has happened while you were away."

Naruto smiled and ruffled Yukimaru's hair and hummed "Hmm is that so..."

Yukimaru nodded eagerly before adopting a thoughtful look "Oji-sama what did you get me and what did you need to tell me."

Naruto with his soft smile still present pulled his right arm out his cloak and revealed a brand new flute and handed it to Yukimaru "I bought that for you in the Village of Artisans, the man who sold it claimed that it could strengthen and amplify any genjutsu you try to cast more so than what your grass flute can do."

Yukimaru gently took the Flute and looked over it was slightly longer than normal but had the same number of holes as his grass flute he then gave it a test blow and found it gave off an eerieer sound than normal enough to make even his own skin crawl. looking back at Naruto he smiled and hugged him "thank you Oji-sama, what was it you wanted to tell me?"

Naruto nodded and knelt down to Yukimaru's height "now we get to the crux of why I asked you to come here Yukimaru...now tell me what do remember me telling you about Mito, Kushina and Fuka Uzumaki as well as the fourth Mizukage Yagura and the Raikages younger brother...or more importantly what did they have in common with one another?"

Yukimaru holding his flute sat down in Shou's chair and thought for a couple of minutes trying to remember before saying uncertainly "They all held a great power and were adored by their villages"

Naruto nodded "Yes you are partially right, they all harboured great power but that power is known as a tail beast and there is nine of them out there right now at the moment being the one tails, two tails, three tails, four tails, five tails, six tails, seven tails, eight tails, nine tails. of these at the moment 8 of them are sealed away inside people for example Fuka Uzumaki holds the strongest the nine tails, the Raikages brother Killer B the eight tails, the fourth Mizukage who died last year was the previous holder of the three tails. now Yukimaru what I wanted to tell you is that the fourth Mizukage and his family were all compatible to the three tails thus through history have been the Jinchuuriki for the tailed beast it like a family heirloom much like how the nine tails has only been sealed insode an Uzumaki, Yukimaru a spy of mine managed to find information linking you as a direct blood relative to the fourth Mizukage Yagura, and another has reported that the three tails has fully reformed after his host died I want to know Yukimaru how would feel about having said beast sealed within you making you the three tails jinchuuriki?"

Yukimaru hearing he was a blood relative of the fourth Mizukage and the three tails was almost like his birth right and a family heirloom like how the nine tails was heirloom to his Oji-sama's family looked to see what his adoptive mother was thinking "Kaa-chan, what do you think?"

Guren knowing this question was coming sighed "Well I'm not happy about it but...I trust Naruto, and even with a beast sealed inside you it wouldn't change who you are I would still love you unconditionally."

Yukimaru hearing that nodded and hugged her before turning to his Oji-sama "Oji-sama, I will become the next three tails jinchuuriki."

Naruto hearing that smiled and sighed at the same time before ruffling his hair affectionatly "okay me, you and the sound Guard will be accompanying us and we leave first thing tomorrow."

Yukimaru nodded and left the room to practice with his flute. when he was gone Guren turned and slapped Naruto's face "WHY didn't you tell me he was related to Yagura and it was in his blood to control the monster, oohohoho mister you better hope not a hair on his head is out of place when you return or there will be hell to pay understand" she finished jabbing her finger into his well muscled chest.

Naruto only nodded and watch slightly shocked at Guren composed herself and spun on her heel before walking out the room after Yukimaru.

Naruto was finally snapped from his stupor when he heard his sound Guard and Hidan burst out laughing with Hidan being the loudest "Oh my, I wish I had a camera and caught your face it was gold hahahaha I think thats the only time i've seen you shocked by something hahahaha."

Naruto rubbed his cheek absently "just be ready to move out by midday tomorrow okay, if people want me I'll be touring the village."

all he got was a chorus of quiet "Hai's" as he sat down on his carpet, he then looked behind to see Hidan following him.

walking toward the academy well floating in Naruto's case they walked past the academy training grounds and saw the academy students being taught one of the many sound Jutsu the Fuma and other village members helped create adding to the now growing Sound village Jutsu vault, it was then Naruto saw the graduating class of the first proper Sound Genin. he says first proper year because of a large age gap in the population and the fact most of the missing ninja had families whose children were preteens or just two young to participate in ninja training so after having each age group 12-13 yr olds, 14-15 yr olds, 16-17 yr olds spar against various jonin level shinobi vetted by Guren and the sound Guard and in front of a panel of judges being the kyuu oto shiki kan (the nine sound commanders), they determined what rank they were and was pleasently surprised to see most if not all of the 14 year olds and above were chunin level and the rest being genin, but that changed rather recently since they re graded the genin who were now 14 and saw they improved enough to gain a green belt. now watching the first graduates from the Sound Academy who would most likely be attending the chunin exams in the hidden leaf in nine months.

floating over he watched with Hidan as each hopeful graduates performed the substitution, transformation and a type of clone and which he was surprised to see range from the basic clone, the tsuchi clone, Mizu clone and Shadow clone in Karins case which Amaya chose to teach her.

This wasn't part of the jutsu section Naruto was interested in no he was more interested in one or two offensive and defensive jutsu and one sound based jutsu that was required of them. he then heard Usagi who chose to oversee the graduation tests each year, "Dosu Kinuta please demonstrate a defensive and offensive jutsu and then one sound based jutsu"

having a Guren send reports on various students Naruto knew that this particular boy was very powerful and the top Taininjutsu user in his year on top of having a water affinity and good tatical mind he was also a Orphan from water country that was picked up by Orochimaru a week before Naruto killed him and for Naruto this was the first time seeing the boy had bandages covering most of his face, leaving only his left eye uncovered. He also wore a large poncho with long sleeves, a snake patterned scarf around his neck, a straw raincoat protruding from the back of his scarf, and a large amplifier on his right arm for most of his attacks. His back was hunched, which made him look smaller than he actually was. He has short black hair.

watching on interest, Dosu took a couple of steps forward and swung his fist at tree but instead of his fist connecting with it he missed it. Naruto then saw Hidan make a face of disgust before gaining a shocked look as the bark imploded and left a rather nasty hole in the tree. Naruto knowing most of the sound based jutsu the village had created said "he used the melody arm guantlet attack called resonating echo drill rather devasting in a taijutsu fight, what else can he do?"

he then watched as Dosu walked over to a pool of water and did some hand signs and heard him call "Water style: water whip" from the pool the water jumped to his hand and lengthened itself until it was well a whip and wrapped it round the tree he hit his previous attack after that he held a ram sign and said "Hidden Mist Jutsu" and created a dense fog about him and the rest of the training ground.

Naruto nodded in approval of his choice of techniques before turning away and continuing on with Hidan by his side.

Next day Konohagakure

cannon start.

walking down the street was Fuka, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Choji and Ino. this was not an unordinary sight in the village but the day was important for the five of them today is the day they would graduate from the academy and become Genin. Fuka over the last four years had changed quite a lot her personality was like her fathers more than anything being able to go from happy go lucky one minute but in training or in mission simualtions that Jiraiya and Tsunade had started putting her through she could become serious and apathetic to everything going on around her. Her strawberry blonde hair had over the years gained a shaggy look to it (think Kurenai) and was kept loose with two bangs framing her face and another two shorter ones falling over her eyes before curling in and nearly touching her nose, her clothing was a pair of black baggy Anbu like pants that were tucked into white ninja sandals that went to her mid calf, her top was a red shirt that had one sleeve that reached her elbow, and she also wore a skull necklace her brother bought her to match his ear ring, like her brother she had painted nails but instead of black hers were red. she also had white fingerless gloove with a metal plate on the back, and strapped to the back of her waist was the legandary Kusanagi blade even to this day everyone refused to tell her who weilded the sword before and how it came in to her posession the only thing she was told was that it was a gift.

Looking at her friends she saw they (think cannon) had all matured slightly only because in Ino's case she got in trouble a few years ago when she decided to sneak out late and witnessed a murder, unfortunately the murderer saw her and was going to kill her so she wouldn't talk but luckily for her and not the murderer Shikaku, Choza and her father who were coming back from mission saw Ino out after curfew and followed only to end up having to subdue the man and whisk Ino away and back home where she got an earful from her mother and father.

Shikamaru, sort of kicked his ass into gear a little only because Fuka dragged him along to some of her trainings with Sasuke and her sensei's Jiraiya and Tsunade, but he still had his old habits he just knew when and when not to use them and complained less than usual about doing anything that involved effort.

Sasuke he unlocked his Sharingan after Itachi placed him in a genjutsu that made him get a first person point of veiw of being killed and to top it off Itachi made the killer Naruto. needless to say Sasuke was a little freaked out for about a month afterwards but was ultimately happy with his awakening, but it was also funny watching the normally stoic Itachi Uchiha running away from an irate Mikoto who had a frying pan for a weapon at the time, he was still top of the class by little bit this being he was a little better at Taijutsu since she decided to train more kenjutsu, Sasuke had slightly more techniques than her, he could do genjutsu and she couldn't, but she could do Fuinjutsu fine and lastly he was good academically and she detested the academics with a passion but knew she had to bare with it if she wanted the knowledge and building blocks to defeat her brother and get answers for why he did what he did, anyway Sasuke was normal Sasuke just mix funnily between Mikoto and Itachi.

Fuka then shifted her gaze to the last and certainly not the least member of their little group Choji, now she says last but there was actually five more but they took a different route to the Academy they being Kiba, Shino, Sai, Hinata and annoyingly Sakura who was mainly Ino and Hinata's friend more than any of the others. anyway choji was well choji he trained a little more and was more muscular than he used to be but he didn't want to be left behind by everyone, he still had a constant bag of chips and still ate food like it was going out of fashion but meh that was him his quirk, like shikamaru's being cloud watching, Ino's being looking at her reflection in any surface that will show it, she could list the quirks of her friends off but where would the fun in that be.

smiling at each of them and listening at how they were so excited to become official ninja made Fuka clench her fists look up at the sky as they entered the academy grounds 'by the end of the day I will be one step closer to finding out the truth...big brother...just you wait I'm coming for you' and as if he heard her she saw a storm clouds in the distance and watched as an arc of lightning illuminated the horizon she then muttered to herself "yeah just you wait"

Sasuke hearing her knew exactly what she was talking about smiled "So Fuka whats planned for after graduation today"

Fuka shook her "Kaa-chan and Tou-kun told me I was going to have the day off from training so we could celebrate sorry but I won't be training this evening with you"

Sasuke just shrugged "hn Kaa-chan probably has something similar planned at the compound and knowing my luck she will get everyone in on it as well."

Fuka just giggled at Sasuke's defeated look.

midday

Fuka was sitting with her friends sporting a leaf headband tied proudly around her forehead as she listened to Iruka congratualting them on passing and telling them to be back early the next day for team placements. after that he dissmissed them Fuka hearing that looked at her friends and they all grinned and shouted "Catch'a later Iruka sensei" as they said that they all crashed through the windows of their classroom and into the courtyard below.

Iruka seeing them do that ran to the window and shouted "OI YOU BRATS THATS DANGEROUS..." he then saw Minato and Kushina and shouted "LORD HOKAGE PLEASE TELL YOUR SHINOBI TO BE MORE MINDFUL THERE YOUR PROBLEM NOW NOT MINE"

Mizuki the whole time glared at Fuka's back and thought of a perfect way to get into his new bosses good books, steal the forbidden scroll and kidnap the nine tails for him.

Minato hearing Iruka looked up and saw the broken windows and slowly panned his vision down until he saw his daughter and the rest of the clan heirs standing around laughing and cheering at what they did and what Iruka said sighed and called out as he and Kushina slowly made their way over with Inoichi and his wife, Shikaku and Yoshino, Choza and his wife, Shibi and his wife, Tsume and Hana, Mikoto and Itachi, Hiashi and Hanabi, Hinata's little sister, Sakura's parents and Sai's guardian Hayate and Yugao.

sitting in a tree was one of Naruto's summons with a weird crystal ball like orb filming and recording the whole thing so she could show Naruto later on.

when Fuka and the others saw they were cornered all gulped and were all grabbed by their mothers or in Sai's case Yugao and Hinata's case Hiashi and were frog marched back home but they all shouted or said one thing as they headed home "TOTALLY WORTH IT!"

later that night.

Mizuki was sneaking out of the Hokage tower with the forbidden scroll of sealing (naruto has a copy not a big loss) and was making his way toward the Hokages residence set on sneaking into Fuka's room and in a way bagging and tagging her.

as he neared the home of his Hokage and the Hokage's family, Mizuki heard the dull thud of something hitting wood from around behind the house changing direction slightly Mizuki landed on a tree and saw his target striking a wooden post with her sword. sneering he pulled Fuma shuriken off his back and threw it at Fuka's leg hell bound in incapacitating her, what he didn't plan on was her body being replaced by a nearby log and unfortunately his shock was met by more shock as he saw over sized kunai stabbing him through the shoulder pinning him to the tree he was on he then looked and saw Fuka standing in front of him looking grim and said "Mizuki sensei, I knew you hated me but really trying to kill me and steal fathers forbidden scroll is a little much."

Mizuki still in shock at being bested so easily "How, this wasn't supposed to happen"

Fuka smirked and let go of the Kunai momentarily and made a handsign and said "Shadow clone jutsu" she was then standing next to a replica of herself and said to it "could you please get father he will want to talk with Mizuki personally."

the clone nodded and shunshinned away, a moment later a yellow flash appeared with an angry Minato who was at his office after being alerted to the theft of his forbidden scroll when Fuka's shadow clone appeared.

Seeing Mizuki with the scroll pinned to a tree by his daugther and the Fuma Shuriken lodged in a log undoubtedly used for substitution looked at Mizuki and said with a voice laced with steal "Who are you working for and why are you doing this?"

Mizuki snapping out of his funk sneered at them two blondes "Heh like you would ever understand, but I'm doing this for my new boss the Reaper and why so he would bestow upon me great power, yes I did it all for power hahahaha arrgh" he didn't get any further since minato KO'ed him with punch to the gut.

signalling for Anbu they appeared a minute later said "Take Mizuki to Ibiki and tell him to have Inoichi search his memory I want all the information he has on this reaper character,"

the Anbu bowed and took the unconcious man away. seeing they were gone Minato turned to his daughter and pulled her into a hug, "at least it wasn't Akatsuki hey or this might have been different eh"

Fuka nodded "yeah probably, dad did I do good?"

Minato kissed her on top of her head "Yep you did perfect."

Next day

sitting behind his desk Minato frowned at the report Inoichi gave him on what he found from Mizuki 'he didn't even see this Reapers face or that of his mysterious female assisstant that was referred to as the preistess...how annoying...thank you Inoichi I'll contact Jiraiya and have him on the look out for this reaper fellow."

Inoichi nodded and left, Minato sighed and went back to his paper work.

Land of waves two days later

standing on the beach of a large lake Naruto turned to Tayuya, Jugo, Jirobo, Sakon/Ukon, Kidomaru, Kimimaru, Kotohime, Shou, Yukimaru and lastly Hidan. "well I'm sure you can feel his presence can't you Jugo?"

Jugo being the most attuned to different forms of chakra managed to sense the mammoth amounts of demonic chakra when they were halfway through their journey which took them through Yumegakure nodded "Yes Lord Naruto it's their alright his power is quite overwhelming."

Naruto nodded and looked at the young shinobi in front of him who were all younger than twenty "Yes the power is truly frigthening isn't it but this must be done to slow down the Akatsuki's plans and actually giving our village a perception of power and make others when we announce our arrival to think twice about attacking, now I have a plan..."

Hidan knowing she wasn't needed for this part other than to make sure no-one interfered started creating boobytraps around the area where the sealing would take place.

"Tayuya I want you at the northern most point of the lake and continue a 100 m, Sakon/Ukon the southern most point then 100m, Kotohime the most easterly point and a 100m and Jugo the western most point and 100m and I want you to put up the Long Four Violet Flames Formation when I send a large pulse of ligthning into water understood"

the four mentioned nodded and headed off to their designated positions Naruto then turned to Jirobo and Yukimaru "Jirobo I want you to set up your strongest defensive earth jutsu understand so the alter and Yukimaru don't get injured okay, Kimimaru when the sealing starts I need you to keep an eye on Yukimaru with Jirobo okay"

Jirobo nodded and took a couple of steps away from the group and said "earth style: domino earth shore return" and a domino line of 10 earth slabs lifted off the ground making a solid barrier.

Nodding his approval Naruto turned to Kidomaru and Shou "Kidomaru I need you to uncover your third eye to find any weak spots and use your bow exploit them okay, your also going to take this head peice and relay them to me and Shou understood..." Kidomaru nodded and took off his head band reveiling his third eye which allowed him to see everything clearer and increase his perception and accuracy by a significant amount, allowing him to pinpoint the enemy's vital points with his arrow. he then went to find a spot where he got a clear line of sight.

now looking at Shou he said "after my lightning attack that will no doudt piss the large bastard off, when he surfaces I want you to freeze the him and the lake with you Ice Kekkei genkai and then if that doesn't work pray that Kidomaru can find weak spots on it other than that just pepper him with long range attack okay"

Shou nodded and moved to the waters edge getting ready to run on the surface after Naruto's attack

Naruto then went to behind Jirobo's defence he so graciously put up and did some hand signs "sealing ritual alter" as he said that he placed his hands on the ground and a man size stone alter appeared out of the ground covered in seals, turning to Yukimaru he "Yukimaru remove your shirt and lay down on the alter I need to apply some symbols to you before the sealing ritual begins understood"

Yukimaru nodded his head "Hai I trust you Oji-sama" he then laid down on the alter and waited for Naruto to draw the seals on him.

after five minutes he nodded his head in satisfaction before pressing a pressure point on yukimaru's neck knocking him out "rest easy and gather your strength and pray to whatever gods there are that this goes right. what a way to test and un tested sealing jutsu I just hope my chakra will last." muttered Naruto.

he then created four shadow clones and told them to stand near the middle of the lake in a square formation before pouring all their chakra into a ligthning jutsu.

Closing his eyes he channeled chakra into the seals on his feet and rose up into the sky, he then did a long sequence of hand signs Ushi, saru, U, Ne, I, Tori, Ushi, Uma, tori, tora, Inu, Tora, Mi, Ushi, Hitsuji, Mi, I, Hitsuji, saru, tatsu, tori, tatsu, ushi, uma, hitsuji, Tora, Mi, Ne, Ushi, saru, tori, Ne, I, Saru, Tatsu, Tori, Ushi, Uma, Hitsuji, Tora, Mi, ne, saru, U, I, Tatsu, Ushi, ne, Ushi, saru, tori, ne, I, Tori, tatsu, Ne when he finished he gave his clones the mental command to unleash their attacks.

Clone 1 "Lightning Release: False Darkness"

clone 2 "Lightning Release: Insidious Wave"

clone 3 "Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder"

Clone 4 "lightning Release: False Darkness"

once all four said their jutsu they placed their hands on the waters surface and pumped something like 300,000 watts of energy literally making the water spark and sizzle as well as causing quite a few fish to float to the surface fried, also when the lightning streamed into the water the lake surface glowed white illuminating the surrounding area in white.

Jugo, Tayuya, Sakon/Ukon and Kotohime taking that as the signal

"dam oji-chan talk about setting off a becon that can be seen for miles Long four violet flames barrier!" Tayuya said before announcing her jutsu.

"to believe this is just the suface of our lords power incredible... Long four violet flames barrier!" said Kotohime as she stared in slight wonder.

"As to be expect of Lord Naruto Long four violet flames barrier!" said Sakon before Ukon announced the jutsu.

"Lord Naruto please don't over exert yourself...Long four violet flames barrier!" said Jugo before doing the jutsu.

in the land of water.

standing at the top of her new kage tower Mei was staring out at the ocean and mainland in the distance enjoying a reprieve from the paperwork, when she saw the horizon glow a briliant white colour that made her squint at, she then licked her lips hungrily 'such power amazing now I bet thats one hell of a man behind that if only.'

she then looked to her left and saw Ao using his stolen Byakugan to look in the distance but sighed "hnnm to far Lady Mizukage should we send a team to scout out what's happening over there?"

Mei shook her head "No Ao whatever it is it does not concern the mist and besides we can't have the other nations know that the civil war has ended yet."

Ao just nodded and watched with his leader as the white light receded.

back in wave

when the light disappeared the very ground started to shake harshly and was followed by and inhuman and out of this world roar that kicked up large waves making Shou nearly lose his balence on the water. Kidomaru had to use his webs to hold himself in place and Jirobo and the others dong the barrier channeled chakra into their feet to stay upright.

Hidan who was watching from atop a tree imbedded her scythe into the tree to balence herself and smirked "Heh Naruto-kun has awoken a beast and he doesn't sound happy to be awake."

it was then the largest armoured three tailed turtle you'll ever see broke the surface of the water and looked up at Naruto who he sensed was the one to awaken him before let out another almighty roar before having thrash around as it felt itself become constricted by ice that formed on it's body and in the water around it thanks to Shou.

the three tails seeing the Ice user went to swipe his tail at him but was to slow since Shou had already changed position and was peppering it with long range ice jutsu.

Kidomaru who was using his third eye pulled back on his bow and aimed for a chink in the three tails armour that was between one of the mighty armoured plates on its back. firing his arrow he watched as it flew true and hit the gap on point but was disappointed but didn't have time to think about it since he was already moving position since no doudt the three tails feeling that particular bee sting would be out for revenge and he didn't want to be in the cross fire.

Naruto having his sealing jutsu all set pointed his right hand at the three tails that seemed to have forgotten about him for the time being and he pointed his left hand at the still form of Yukimaru, closing his eyes he took a deep breath and called out in a extremely deep voice that was heard all over the lake and gave everyone chills except for Hidan who started rubbing her legs together said "fUINJUTSU BIJUU SHIRINGU: HACHI TORAIGURAMU KAMINARI TETSU SHIRU"

when he finished 10 chains burst from his body and wrapped round the three tails and started supressing it's chakra much like what his mothers chains did. From his right hand what looked like a beam of chakra connected with the three tails while the same thing happened with Yukimaru but on the seal on his stomach but the sealing array around the alter he lay lit up an eerie white.

Naruto then pushed more chakra into the sealing Jutsu and slowly bought his hands together connecting the two chakra beams connecting Yukimaru with the three tails who was thrashing about in vain stilled and started looking between Yukimaru and Naruto in shock at what was happening, Naruto when the beams where connected properly "the ritual is complete and with it the rise of the new three tails jinchuuriki" as he said that he held the ram sign and shouted "SEAL" as he did he and everyone else watched as the blue beam turned green and purple and as the three tails slowly got smaller and smaller, Naruto still keeping the three tails at bay with his chains and Shou helping with his ice turned to Yukimaru's form and saw the Alter seals getting brighter and brigther as more of the three tails chakra was being added to the seal.

Now Naruto knew the seal was strong enough to store the three tails and hold it at bay, considering he based it off the two seals that hold the eight and nine tails at bay, he also knew that the seal like his sisters one would slowly leak the demonic chakra into Yukimaru's system making it more potent now all he could do was wait the hour or so it would take for the three tails to be completely sealed within Yukimaru.

Jiraiya

being close to wave when the bright white light appeared alongside a eeriely familiar chakra he hightailed it over to the source to find out what the hell was happening while he was running he heard and felt the earth shattering roar of the three tails.

when he finally arrived at the scene he was greated by a large purple barrier, not really wanting to find out what the barrier did he took to the tree tops where he could see everything the sheer size of the barrier being powered by four people wearing a musical note symbol and purple belts and tunic style uniform that his spies had told him about but different belt colour, Hidan standing on a similar tree top in her modified Akatsuki uniform, Kidomaru and Shou peppering the three tails with long range jutsu, Naruto floating above the three tails and lake in his Akatsuki uniform with chains wrapped around the three tails and two beams of chakra one connecting to the three tails and the other, following the second beam he saw Jirobo and Kidomaru standing off to one side of an all to familiar Alter with glowing seals, that was when he heard Naruto annonce the Jutsu and 8 Toraiguramu kaminari tetsu shīru, quickly writing the name down as a reference he continued watching as naruto connected the two beams together and shout seal, and to his horror and pride he watched as the three tails got smaller and smaller and then he realised what Naruto was doing.

'he's creating a new three tails jinchuuriki but why it goes against what Akatsuki is doing...what are you planning Naruto...but to think you can do all this just proves your power and that you have powerful and numerous followers...Minato and Kushina are going to need hear about this.'

before leaving incase he was spotted he summoned a small toad called "Gamataro I need you to follow that group and find out where they are headed once you do report back to Minato at once, but if you are caught disperse yourself and give me a general direction of where they are headed." said Jiraiya seriously.

Gamataro saluted before hopping off. Jiraiya sighed and shunshinned making his trip back to the leaf quicker.

Naruto and the others oblivious to Jiraiya witnessing the sealing waited another hour when it was over Naruto recalled his chains and contacted everyone via Radio to meet back at the shore by Yukimaru.

by the time he got back to Yukimaru he saw Jirobo was watching over Yukimaru, Shou was sitting on the ground head bowed trying to catch his breath, Kidomaru was leaning against a tree breathing quite heavily, while he waited for the others who were no doubt nearly drained of chakra thanks to the barrier looked at Yukimaru's seal and saw it was like his sister in relation to the spiral but instead of sqwiggly lines around it Yukimaru's had two kanji symbols for Iron at the north and south points and the kanji symbols for lightning at the west and east points smiling he unsealed a spare cloak and draped it over Yukimaru's unconcious but alive form.

he was then met by the other sound guard who were all looking dead tired he looked to see where Hidan was and saw her with a couple of tents already set up inside her boobytrapped area. smiling he turned to his young albiet powerful sound guard "we'll camp here for the rest of the day and tonight before heading back to the sound village go rest and relax you deserve the break.

Naruto then picked up Yukimaru and placed it in his tent that Hidan so nicely put up for him Naruto was about to go to his tent but was grabbed by the shoulders and dragged into what he believed to be Hidans tent.

finding himself on his back he looked round the surprisingly spacious tent and saw Hidan knelt at his side without her Akatsuki clothing and her black leggings she wore were gone leaving her in her leather bra and a pair of lacy panties averting his roving eyes he looked Hidan in the eyes and smirked and sat up and in doing so bought his face closer to hers said "Hmm stopped trying the posh little clan girl act did we" he said slightly above a whisper but she heard and could only nod as he drew closer to her.

Seeing this she smiled and nodded slightly "I'm glad I...like this Hidan much better...she's much much better..." he didn't say anymore because his lips pressed against hers causing her to sigh happily and press back against his with closed eyes.

Naruto deciding he was done for the day slowly laid back and pulled Hidan on top of him in the process.

hidden leaf village 6:00pm

Jiraiya was sitting in front of Minato, Kushina, Fuka, Tsunade and Shizune with a grave face and said "I have some news regarding your son and our godson...I personally spotted him wave country with his Akatsuki partner Hidan and eight other unknown ninja but I believe them to be members of an unknown village, but thats not the half of it..."

Fuka hearing her brother mentioned along with his skanky and slutty partner in her opinion oh yes she looked this Hidan up in the bingo book and she saw the pictures of her scantily dressed figure needless to say when she showed her mother, her godmother Mikoto, her aunt Tsunade and her surrogate older sister they were none to impressed by her as well, and eigth other unknown shinobi frowned "Oi ero-sennin hurry up what was big brother doing that has you worried"

Jiraiya hearing that closed his eyes "I couldn't get close enough because of a barrier ninjutsu four of them erected that covered a good square kilometer was blocking my way but what i did see was two of the unknown shinobi were attacking the three tails from long range and one was using the extinct Yuki clan ice jutsu, Hidan was standing on a tree over looking and that was it, two of them were guarding a young boy who was laying on the Bijuu sealing ritual alter you created and Naruto himself was floating above the lake and three tails holding it and suppressing it with ten chakra chains like kushina's he then called out a sealing jutsu I haven't heard of I stay a while longer and saw the three tails slowly get progressivly smaller as it was slowly sealed inside the boy

I then summoned Gamataro to observe and follow the group to see where they went and high tailed it back here to inform you...oh before I forget the name of the Jutsu was fUINJUTSU BIJUU SHIRINGU: HACHI TORAIGURAMU KAMINARI TETSU SHIRU, I wouldn't be able to tell you about the seal since I couldn't get close enough but one things for sure there is another jinchuuriki out there now under Naruto's control."

Kushina hearing what Naruto had done was not happy and thats putting it lightly and was slightly afraid knowing that Naruto had the power to suppress bijuu chakra he was now more of a threat to Fuka than ever before.

Minato couldn't get one thing out of his head and that wasn't that his son had created a jinchuuriki or that he created a new sealing jutsu or the fact he had Kushina's chains no it wasn't any of those things it was 'HE WAS FLOATING AS IN FLYING IN THE AIR BUT HE DOESN'T HAVE A WIND AFFINITY DOES HE'

Shizune was looking ashamed at her former crushes actions and looking worriedly at Fuka who had her face hidden by her bangs.

Tsunade pinched her forehead and mumbled "I'm to old for this...Jiraiya when your little toad arrives with a location of where these unknown shinobi ended up with or without Minato's permission I think we should pay the young reckless fool a visit and see if I can't beat some sense into him" she then finished talking normally.

Fuka was standing there staring at the ground as if trying to make it combust 'stupid idiot why did he have to make some one live with the same stigma as me being a jinchuuriki, is he so far gone and cruel that he would seal the beast and then unseal it killing the poor boy in the process, I think it's time to kick my training up a notch and make a deal with the fox... be warned brother when we next meet I will defeat you...believe it"

Amegakure

Standing in a large antechamber Naruto looked around at the stark room and sighed but was pleased when the large double doors to the room opened revealing Konan and a red head in a mechanical chair.

Narrowing his eyes Naruto tilted his head "Finally I get to see another long lost cousin and his...I want to say friend but you seem more like a married couple in the way you act..."

he was then cut off by a deep hoarse voice "Naruto cut the stupid act you said you wanted to meet the true leader of the hidden rain village and you also wanted to talk to me to my face...I have extended a rare opportunity, do not try my patience." said Nagato seriously.

Naruto nodded and allowed his entire demeanor to change as he tilted his head making his conical hat jingle "Your quite right, I come to you with an offer and a warning the offer is for the Amekage and the warning is for the Akatsuki and it's leader"

Nagato and Konan hearing that narrowed their eyes at the Uzumaki. nodding his head "Go on cousin humour me."

Naruto closed his eyes "Very well like you cousin I have performed a successful coup of a village...one that Orochimaru was planning before I killed him...I just took over his little venture and lead from the shadows using a figure head to act as Otodotai in my stead much like how 'God' has his 'Angel'...one leader...no one family member to another I come with the offer of an alliance and trade agreement."

Nagato hearing what Naruto said smirked and coughed "Humm it seems our family is very ambitious...I will think on your offer and discuss this with Konan at a later date...Now what is your warning for Pain and Akatsuki?"

Naruto nodded and his tone turned threatening making Konan shift uncomfortably "Yes my warning...If I find or my Sound Shinobi find any evidence of Akatsuki movements within the land of Rice...I will personally kill that member...the only members welcome are me and Hidan...give me your word cousin that the Akatsuki won't operate within Rice country."

hearing the warning Nagato nodded understandedly "I will relay the message to the other members and order them not to enter that particular country, I myself don't let Akatsuki within Rains boarders...unless they are family of course...If that is all Naruto then you can leave now...I will send Konan to the boarder of Rice and Fire in a town known as Fire rock town with our answer."

Naruto nodded and flickered out of existance
