NEW CHAPTER…
And on and on it went for the blonde as the others listened and learned things about konoha that some of them had never imagined. It was horrifying to see through the blondes eyes what the village was truly like. For konohamaru and the hyuuga sisters, they were all amazed by Narutos self control. They all agreed that if it had been them Konoha would have been destroyed a long time ago.
A FEW HOURS LATER…
IN NARUTOS MIND…
The memories continued until it all ended and his mindscape began stabalizing. He laid on the ground of what was once kyuubis cage , exhausted after everything he had just relieved. He had had to relive every single memory,the good bad and the ugly. Even the ones that kyuubi had always kept at bay . Breathing heavily as he laid there, he noticed that kyuubi was rapidly shrinking, getter weaker and smaller by the minute. Around the room was rapidly warping as well, as if sucking the energy from the kitsune.
"tousan?" he said worriedly.
"I'm sorry kit, im dying." kyuubi said weakly. "I'm sorry."
"what?" Naruto said frightened, instantly getting over his fatigue. "no you cant die, I wont let you!" he yelled as he got up and ran over to the rapidly shrinking kitsune.
"are you sure Naruto?" the kyuubi asked. " you would finally be rid of me, the cause of all your pain."
"graaaah!!"naruto roared angrily. "I will not lose you too!" he hung on to the biju for dear life and was relieved when he felt it beginning to grow once again.
He let him go as it continued to grow it was past its normal size and a little larger. Naruto smiled when he saw the reason for it , kyuubi had grown a new tail.
"tousan congratulations!" he said glomping him.
"its alright kit."it said happily. " because I got over hate of humans and adopted you as my kit, I was rewarded with a new tail as well. My limit should have been nine but you changed that kit. I also see that you got four new ones as well, something that's never happened to a hanyou before. The fact that you got so many only speaks highly of you. I'm so proud of you."
Naruto grinned and climbed up onto its back and laid down. "tousan…thanks." he said and fell off to sleep.
"sleep kit." the fox said gently as he covered him with his new tail . "my son." it said proudly before it too fell asleep.
Unknown to them , they had formed a bond so strong that not even the shinigami could ever break. There would be no more resentment or hate between the two ever again. Now that they were a true team, nothing would stand in their way.

In the real world…
Two hours later…
It had been three whole days since he had gone into that state and when he finally woke up kakkuyo and Yanbo had returned. By the wave of power coming from him, itachi knew that Naruto had changed a great deal. Wether or not it was for the better or for the worse no one could say but he would stay by his side regardless.
Naruto woke up and looked over at all of them with a smile, instantly making them feel more relieved.he slowly looked around the cave until his eyes landed on itachi and he smirked.
"nice to see you again my wolfie-chan." he said with an arrogant but sexually charged smirk and itachi found himself flushing much to his dismay.
"sorry for making you all worry but I'm all better now." he said reassuringly. "however there are a few things that need to be done in order to prepare for our future but we'll talk about that in a minute." then he turned to the kitsune twins. "so how was it?"
"it went brilliantly my lord."said kakkyuo. "the people were all terrified and wanted to run away but we managed to persuade them to rethink that."
"there is one problem my lord." said Yanbo nervously. "danzo has sent some of his men from root to kill you. Hiashi hyuuga has also sent some of his clansmen to find out if his daughters are dead or alive. If they are , he has given the order to kill you. They are currently on their way here ."
"really ?" said Naruto sounding amused. "isnt that interesting. These leaf-nins never seem to get do they?" he said with an evil smirk. "well I'll just have to go greet them wont I?"
Everyone paled at that smirk even kisame, who looked like he had been diluted. They were all seriously thanking kami that they were on his side. His enemies were to be pitied.
"so what do we do now?" kisame asked nervously.
"well we're gonna leave here and return to the base." said naruto. "but first we need to set a few things in motion. Since kumo is no more , its safe to say that there is currently an opening for a new ninja village don't you think?" he said reasonably.
Everyone nodded liking where this was going already.
"but where would we make one?" Itachi asked thoughtfully.
"in wave country." Naruto told them. "I am a hero there and I'm sure that they wouldn't mind if it we gave them their own ninja village."
"that makes sense."said kisame. " but what do we do first."
"im gonna send kakkuyo and yanbo there along with the rest of you to train and scout the area for the village. " naruto began. " this mission will bring in a whole lot of money for me so we'll have enough to start off.yanbo I want you to go see a man name Tazuba . He is a master bridge builder there will and will welcome you as well as help you out . Tell him that I sent you and tell him what you're trying to do and he'll help you.kakkuyo you will go see the diamyo looking completely like a human andwill put the proposal to him. It must all be done in complete secrecy and after you find the perfect spot report back to me. When you come to the Akatsuki base , go to the hot springs and come in the form of a normal one tailed kitsune. I will also be summoning a few of your brothers to train these three while you two do that. Konohamaru you will learn to summon enma as well as increse your chakra reserves. By the time the village is finished I want you all to be at least an high jounin , high s-rank ninja. I will also be sending you all new techniques to learn other than your usual fighting styles so train hard. I know that you all love your clan techniques but I want you all to be well rounded ninjas. You will all be learning to use a weapon as well. Choose your weapon and I'll get it for you. Is everyone okay with that?" he asked.
They all nodded in agreement even if they didn't want to leave Naruto. Naruto sensed it and gave them a reassuring smile.
"don't worry guys , it will only be for a little while I promise." he told them. "also the hyuugas will need to henge in order to hide their eyes and konohamaru , you will wear a mask for now. Now you may all rest for the rest of the night, we leave first thing in the morning."
They all nodded and Naruto went outside with the two other kitsune and opened a portal from the demonic realm. He kept it open for a few minutes until the two kitsune went and got twenty more tailed kitsune demons. When they were all their , he thanked them all for coming and then told them what he wanted. He also told them to train Inari if he wanted to. Afterwards he went to the river nearby and took a bath before pulling itachi away from the rest so that they could talk in private.
They were now sitting by the river together and Naruto noticed that Itachi was acting a bit nervous around him and it saddened him.
"why are you so fearful of me Tachi-chan?" he asked sadly. "don't you know that I'd never hurt you."
Itachi immediately felt like an asshole for upsetting his blonde. "I'm sorry naru-chan."
Naruto smiled. "its fine Tachi-chan , just don't do it again okay?" he told him and Itachi nodded.
Then naruto jumped him and they landed on the ground with Naruto straddling him. Grinding his erection into his lovers' , he leaned over next to Itachis ear and whispered. "its been almost a whole week since you took me Tachi-koi." licking the outer coils of his ears . "don't you want to play with me?"
Itachi growled and grabbed him, sealing their lips together in a heated kiss. The rest of the night was spent catching up .
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The next morning….
The next morning Naruto woke up with a contented smile on his face. Itachi sturred next to him but looked the worse for wear. He had more than made up for the three days and itachi was just plain tired. Itachi silenlt conceded that Naruto had ridden him into the ground last night and he honestly didn't think that he would be able to get it up for another day. When naruto gave him a certain look , he paled and was about to beg for mercy when Naruto decided to cheat and when he took him into his mouth , Itachi decided that perhaps one more round wouldn't be so bad after all.
An hour later they were all packed and ready to go and Naruto opened a portal to wave for them after giving them a few more instructions and a letter to Tazuna. After saying goodby to them, the three akatsuki members stood alone .
"well should we go greet our guests now?" naruto asked with an evil grin.
The two men nodded and they all shunshined off to meet their guests , in the direction of Konoha.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Around midday…
Itachi, Naruto and kisame had been travelling at an extremely fast pace for some time and had finally caught up with their guests. Naruto gave them a feral grin, fangs proudly on display. Both the root and hyuuga members looked on at him nervously, they could feel the new waves of power radiating off him. In a way it was kind of sad. The first emotions that the root group would feel after so long would be nervousness, fear and pain.
"now what would such fine upstanding members of konoha be doing here?" Naruto said grinning evilly. "did you all come all the way here to greet little old me?"
"naruto uzumaki , we have been ordered by our superior to apprehend or destroy you." said the leader of the root group.
Narutos grin only grew wider. "really now? Now isnt that a shame, for you at least."
Just then the leader of the Hyuuga group ran forward and got to his knees before Naruto. "naruto-sama, I am Wataru Hyuuga of the branch part of my clan. If you promise to remove my seal, I will serve you loyally forever." he said bowing.
The other hyuugas were all shocked by this. "wataru what are you doing? The main branch will kill our families if they find out!" yelled one angrily.
"hinata-sama, Hanabi-sama and Neji-kun all trusted him and that is more than enough for me." said Wataru seriously. "I'm tired of living in fear . This is our chance to finally free our families."
The other branch members conceded and decided to follow his lead. They all went to stand beside naruto. They figured that Hiashi would kill them if they failed anyway so it wasn't really a hard decision.
"well isnt this interesting." Naruto thought to himself.
"indeed it is kit. " said Kyuubi. "lets play along for now to see where their loyalties truly lie."
"mmm is that so?" said Naruto to the Hyuugas. " then we shall see soon enough if you will keep your word. Now I suggest you step aside, I have a few roots to weed out."
"we will destroy you demon." said one root member. " and we'll destroy the traitors too."
Naruto grinned and made five bunshins. The clones immediately pulled out their Katanas as Naruto made handseals.
"Kawarimi no jutsu," naruto said quickly switching the root leader with a bunshin .
He held him hostage even though the man didn't resist and then calmly said. "kage bunshin Daibakuha (clone explosion)," and made his clones explode while doing a few hand seals.
"katon : gokakyu (fire release: great fireball)!" a huge fireball began making its way towards the ninjas.
Then. "kage gokakyu no jutsu." he said surprising the others.
The fire ball immediately replicated and twenty more appeared , effectively annihilating all the root members except for the other captured ones. Naruto had worked so fast they hadn't even gotten a chance to fight back.
Naruto looked at the destruction before him and laughed. "I love new techniques." he said pleased.
Then he unhanded the root member and smiled. " hello sai."
Sai removed his mask and smiled. "hey dickless." as if nothing had just happened.
"so where do you stand ?" Naruto asked him ignoring the insult to his manhood. "friend or foe?"
"my loyalties were with old soggy breasts but since she isn't here anymore , I'm with you of course." sai replied.
"I had a feeling you would say that." naruto said . "I have an assignment for you. You will deliver Danzo to my subordinate and after he is presumed dead, you will take his place as the head of root. Your mission is to watch over all my precious people for me and to be my eyes and ears in Konoha.if you are discovered , take your forces and leave immediately, head towards wave. I will come find you there. A kitsune will be the laison between us for now, he will appear in humanoid form and his name is shigure. you'll know when you see him. Your meeting point will be at the old team seven training grounds at midnight, every three nights until told otherwise.do you accept?" he asked.
Sai nodded. "yes Naruto -sama I accept." he replied.
"good." said naruto. "now as for your mission report, everyone was killed, including the hyuugas. You may also tell them that I retired Kumo permanently.. Itachi will you please implant a picture of what kumo looks like now into his memory for me?" he asked and itachi complied.
"Hinata , Hanabi and Konohamaru are safe so you don't need to concern yourself about them. Now hurry back."
Sai blinked at that as he understood the full impact of what Naruto had just said before nodding. He bowed and then hurried off, back to konoha.
Naruto watched him go calmly before turning back to the others. Summoning three kitsunes he said.
"shigure I want you to follow that human undetected in order to ensure his loyalty. In a few days he will be giving you a certain human by the name of Danzo for you to bring to me. You are to take the human to wave to join up with your other clansmen and keep him under guard. He is our prisoner and must not be allowed to escape. The transaction will take place on team sevens training grounds in konoha at midnight so be there at that time every night so that you don't miss him when he eventually shows up. You may go." he told him and the kitsune bowed before disappearing.
Then he turned to the hyuugas. "you have proven your loyalty by not interefering when I killed your comrades. You are to henge to blend in and then go to wave and train in other fighting styles as well as your element along with the hyuuga sisters until told otherwise. We are in the process of building our own village so it will be fine. I will also remove your seals when I visit there. These two will teleport you there. Your families will be protected so there is no need to worry."
They bowed and thanked him before going into the portal he opened for them along with the two other kitsunes. By now Itachi, kisame and naruto were standing together all alone again and the two men turned to naruto.
"so what now?" asked Kisame. "do we return to the base?"
Naruto nodded. "yes but first I'm gonna place a seal on my body to hide my new growth in power and my new tails . " he said as he pulled out the special ink and quill and began to work on it. "I also want you to teach me how to do pains jutsu where you use another persons body to fight. Something like that could come in handy."
Half an hour later he was all done and they began making their way back to the base. On the way there they stopped in the nearby village and bought gifts and a few other things for the children and themselves.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Five hours later…
They arrived at the base and entered into the mission room and stood before pain and madara.
"so how did it go?" asked pain.
Naruto smiled. "it went well Pain-sama, madara-sama. I wiped out the entire village in less than seven hours and made sure that no one was left alive. I also crystallized the place where it was as a reminder to our enemies. Afterwards I was suffering from chakra exhaustion so I took a short break nearby to replenish my stores." naruto said emotionlessly.
"you leveled an entire village in less than seven hours?" said both Pain and Madara in awe at such a display of power.
"ah yes, is that a problem?" he asked calmly.
"no ." said pain regaining his composure.
"then he handed Naruto fifty suitcases full of money and the other two five each since they were only accompanying him before allowing them to leave. Naruto quickly hurried to his babies room to go see them.
The babies had grown in his absence and now looked like six years old instead of their rightful age.
"mommy! Daddy! Uncle Kisa!" yuki squealed happily as she saw her mother enter the room.
Running over to Naruto , she laughed happily as he picked her up.
"oh kit your running and talking properly, I'm so proud of you guys." naruto said pleased before blowing bubbles on the giggling girls tummy since she loved it.
She squealed in delight as he handed her over to Itachi to be hugged and cuddled . Kisame was currently being glomped by a excited yuichi who had taken an unnatural liking to the blue man.
After picking up a squealing ritsuka while thanking Deidara who had babysitted for them and giving him some money, he walked over to a pouting daisuke who had completely ignored him.
Putting down Ritsuka who immediately ran off to her daddy as soon as she was released, naruto mock pouted at the brunnete. "arent you happy to see your mommy kit?" he asked.
"hn." said Daisuke angrily , refusing to look at him as he continued to play with his toy shuriken.
Naruto sighed and then picked up the pouting brunnete that looked so much like Sasuke and cuddled him. " why is my little cherub so angry with me?" he asked the boy gently.
The boy flushed a bit at being called his little cherub since it was a name reserved by Naruto only for him but tried to keep his frown.
"you went away again." he said sounding upset. "I missed you."
Naruto sighed. "that's cuz I had to go on a mission honey." he said gently to the pouting boy. "if it weren't for that, I would never leave you guys ever. I even brought you back something special.
Daisuke perked up upon hearing this perked up. "I forgive you." he said smiling and naruto had to stifle a life.
Unsealing a scroll he began distributing the gifts that he had bought for them and then he went and sealed up his money in various scrolls. By now Kisame had gone to go get some real sleep and the family was all by themselves. They spent the rest of the day together, playing and just having fun as a family.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Meanwhile…
In konoha…
Sasuke was in a meeting with the council when Sai and a few other anbus burst in.
"what is the meaning of this sai?" Danzo roared at his subordinate.
"my apologize Danzo-sama, Hokage same and the entire council but I felt that this could not wait . I just ran into naruto Uzumaki and he not only destroyed all the forces that was sent with me , he also told me that he had just wiped out Kumo and then he had Itachi imprint a picture of what it looked like now in my mind. None was spared my lord and after killing them all , he crystallized the place where kumo once was so that nothing will ever grow there again and as a warning to all his enemies. He only let me go so that I could come tell you." he told them and the room was in uproar.
Some fainted, some screamed and some where too shocked to even speak. Everyone was talking at once and there were various idiotic ideas being sent around as well as the fact that most people felt that the demon had been released.
"was he alone when you saw him?" asked Shikaku nara.
Everyone immediately quieted down to hear his response.
"no sir, he was with Kisame and Itachi Uchiha. They were all wearing their akatsuki outfit and Naruto even had his own ring which means he is definitely a willing member." sai informed them.
"to think that he wiped out kumo so easily, what power." said Inoichi in awe.
"yes and if we had made him a weapon as I had originally requested, it would have been ours."said Danzo annoyed.
"now he will come back to kill us all." said mrs haruno, sakura's mother fearfully. "my poor daughter is in danger."
"we brought this upon ourselves." said Shikaku. "if you had not cheated him out of the position that he rightfully earned and followed my advice to make him Hokage, we wouldn't be in this mess."
"we couldn't allow a demon to run our village." said Homura angrily. "the Uchiha was a much better choice."
"oh please." said Hiashi, finally snapping out of the shock that his daughters were dead. " we knowingly chose a traitor and a powerwhore over a boy who kept our worst fears at bay and who was always loyal to the village no matter how badly we treated him. Now my heirs are dead and judgement dead for all of us may be closer than we think. We betrayed the boy and his father and threw their sacrifices back into their faces and now we must pay. " he said angrily with a hint of sadness and stormed out of the hall.
Everyone watched him go especially the other clan heads who understood what he must be going through right now. They knew that he was regretting not openly helping the boy , they all were. Especially because the boy was the son of his bestfriend.
Sasuke just stood there in shock at what he had just heard. His dobe had wiped out an entire ninja village? One of the five strongest ones as well? He couldn't believe that the sweet blonde he had come to know and love could do such a thing. He silently conceded that the blonde was much more powerful than him, something that he had always known but had tried to ignore. Now he would no longer be able to ignore it since the entire world now knew. He knew that he had been the one to push the blonde over the edge with his constant betrayal and knew that he had finally truly lost him this time. He immediately pushed that thought to the back of his mind and refused to acknowledge its validity. He had always been resilient that way, lying to himself to make himself feel better.
"so what are we gonna do now?" asked mrs. Haruno worriedly. " we have to find a way to get rid of the demon before he tries to harm my baby girl."
"naruto is no fool , he will be prepared for anything you throw at him." Shikaku said coldly. " he also obviously has the full backing of the Akatsuki if they send those two with him. But this is your own fault so don't cry to me, I warned you."
"there is nothing we can actually do." said akimichi Chozo. " let us use our manpower to protect the village."
"perhaps we can trick the demon." said danzo suddenly, causing everyone to quiet down. " if we trick him into thinking that we want him to be our hokage after all , it would lure him back to the village so that we can kill him. We all know he is stupid."
Sasuke scoffed at that. "naruto would never fall for something like that." he said sarcastically. "naruto never truly did let down his guard with anyone, not even me . I realize that now when I think about it all. If you remember he didn't even tell me that he could have children after all the time we had been together. Do you really think that happy mask he wore around us was the real him. When we lived together I came to realize that Naruto hid his true feeling from everyone and that he had an extremely high I.q easily rivaling shikamaru naras. He has not only developed a way to counter my sharingan but as you saw , he easily beat me in our last fight. I don't know how he did it because he always refused to tell me but all I know is that he is no fool. He has lived among us all these years and learned of all our weaknesses in order to protect himself from us if necessary and now he is on the defensive. Add to that he now has a family to protect which means he will kill anyone who threatens them without a second thought. Face it . Your talking about the boy who painted the hokage monument in the middle of the day in the presents of the hokage , elite anbu and jounins without any of them actually seeing him then outrunning all of them. You may say that Iruka captured him but that's not really true. He once told me that he made Iruka capture him because he really cared for the chuunin."
"the uchiha is right." said shibi aburame practically spitting out the name. "naruto would see through that in an instance."
"for now lets update the bingo book and make him the first x-rank missing ninja in history since wiping out kumo was no easy feat. Especially without an army. We will also assemble a special task force of talented anbu who hate the demon to go after him. That way he will have no where to run." said Koharu spitefully.
The civilian council members and naruto haters immediately latched unto this idea like a leech much to the disgust of the naruto supporters.
Suddenly the door flew open and everyone looked in surprise at the new comer. "my apologies for interrupting this meeting but if possible I would like to be the leader of this team since I know him very well. I have always known that he hated me and now there is nothing standing in the way of him killing me. I'm the best man for the job." said the jounin shocking everyone.
"very well ."said Danzo smiling. "you will be a good addition to the team."
Another member immediately entered. "I would also like to do this as well." said the woman.
One woman protested against this but everyone of the Naruto haters overruled her and just like that a team began to form. Sasuke and the naruto supporters were extremely surprised by these two people, but it all began to make sense for most. The next day when the news hit konoha they were terrified and most people began making plans to leave konoha, not wanting to be around when the demon came back. The newly updated profile in the bingo book was also the talk of the town and most people were so frightened that they jumped at the slightest shadow or sound.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
With Hiashi…
After storming out of the meeting he went straight home. After informing everyone of the news he retired to his private chambers to mourn . He felt like all of his sins were coming back to haunt him and he didn't know what to do. He spent the entire night mourning his loss and the next morning an answer to his problems came from the most unexpected place. On his tray was a small note with an uzumaki spiral on it and a nine tailed fox.
Hiashi hyuuga,
Do not despair. The lost hokage would never harm his precious people and it is obvious that he cares for your daughter since he took the time to train them in secrecy. I have a feeling that your daughters and konohamaru are safe with him as was the original plan. Just because sai didn't see them doesn't mean they werent there. Remember Hiashi-sama you will have to choose. Will you remain blinded by lies or will you stand by your daughters choice? Not even the council can prevent change.
Friend of the last one.
He smiled when he realized that it must be true and thanked kami for another chance. He was surprised when the note suddenly ignited and formed an uzumaki spiral before fading away as if it had never been.
"I wont fail them again." he said to himself, unaware that the person who delivered the note was observing him and smiling, pleased that he understood.
