11. Chapter 10

Chapter 10:

Naruto adjusted his cloak and slowly moved to his kunai pouch attached to his belt.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," said the man in front of them, "my samurai are fast enough to cut you in half before you have time to throw anything at us."

Naruto stopped moving as he slowly started to think of plan to try and get out of this situation. Obviously this guy was the boss, Mifune is what Danzo said was true, so that mean he had a lot of chakra. But the rest of them Naruto couldn't be too sure. He could just command all of them to protect him and see which ones have low enough chakra for that to work but something told him he needed to be smart about this.

"You haven't lost your edge Mifune," Danzo said as he removed his white ANBU mask, "you truly are a well informed leader."

"Flattery will get you nowhere Danzo," Mifune said as he motioned for his samurai to lower their weapons. SLowly the blue chakra blades vanished but the soldiers still kept their blades out, just in case.

"I am curious how did you know it was us?" Danzo asked.

"We have spies everywhere, they report everything they find on the mainland to me via eagle. They noticed an explosion from Konoha and when they went to investigate it the just so happened to catch you and the jinchuuriki run towards Kuma. It wasn't difficult for them to put two and two together."

"Very impressive," said Danzo, "though you are mistaken. I am the former leader of the ROOT. My organization was disbanded a few months ago."

"Yes I'm sure it was," Mifune said with narrowed eyes, "but in your ninja world nothing is as it seems."

Danzo nodded, "true."

"So what are you two doing here? I'm assuming it is not just for sightseeing."

"I assure you it is not," Danzo replied, "but perhaps this is best discussed somewhere more private?"

Mifune nodded and motioned for the samurai to move aside as he lead Naruto and Danzo towards town hall. Inside the grey building was even greyer hallways which lead had room identical to each other. Naruto was starting to think color didn't exist in this land.

Mifune took them to a meeting room on the second floor and there Danzo sat down with the man as Naruto stood in the corner watching Mifune as the samurai studied Danzo. They were now alone as Mifune claimed in his exact words, "I do not belive you wish to harm me and I know you cannot do so."

So here they sat, Naruto wondering how Danzo is going to get them out of this one, Danzo wondering how he could manipulate Mifune and Mifune was simply curious as to why these two before him were here.

"So, speak," Mifune said breaking the silence.

"We came here because the Land of Iron has remained neutral over all of ninja history. Due to this we thought it was the best hiding place for Naruto and myself."

"I understand your reasoning in coming here, but why may I ask did you run away from Konoha in the first place?"

"What makes you say we ran away?"

"A guess. Am I right?"

"You are. I decided to take Naruto away because….I pitied the boy." And here came the lie. Naruto and Danzo had talked this over before. They had a plan just in case anything like this happened they had no other choice but to tell the truth, or at least an altered version of it.

"He was mistreated," Danzo continued, "more so than anyone I know. He was blamed for the deaths of several villagers by the time he could walk. His first words were 'stop don't hit me'," 'Okay that's going a little too far,' thought Naruto, "So I took notice of the boy. Had my ROOT members protect him when they could," another lie, "but he always got into trouble."

"After the Uchiha massacre he was blamed for it as well due to him being there. But he had no part in it, in fact it wa due to his help that one Uchiha managed to survive the killings. But instead of being treated as a hero he was treated as a demon all over again. So I decided enough was enough. I started to train him and when he was strong enough I left the village with him in order to properly raise the boy."

Mifune remained quiet through the story and maintained a calm look with non judgemental eyes. Finally when Danzo was done speaking he talked, "is this true?"

"Every word," Danzo replied.

"Danzo I am not a fool," Mifune replied, "so do not treat me like a fool. There is something that doesn't add up. You love Konoha. You would never leave it for one boy, you have killed countless for the sake of Konoha, and now you tell me that you left the village because of one boy?"

Naruto was slowly beginning to panic but Danzo calmly nodded, "yes. I love Konoha and still do. And that is why I needed to take Naruto out of there."

Mifune's eyes narrowed, "explain."

"Naruto was slowly starting to hate Konoha, he only had three people he could turn to. If he did actually start to hate Konoha then he would become a threat to Konoha. I took him out of there in order to train him as a Konoha ninja or at the very least raise him to respect Konoha."

"Why not simply kill the boy?" Mifune asked, "surely it would be easier to do that than raise him. Isn't that how you usually do things?"

"It was true," Danzo said nodding his head, "but lately I have begun to think that is no longer true. After ROOT was dismantled by the third I asked him why. We needed people to do what others will not, I asked him what could possibly make him think Konoha would be able to fight the other nations without an advantage like ROOT. And do you know what he told me?"

Mifune shook his head and Danzo continued, "he said, 'the will of fire will be the thing that sees us through. That is what I believe will always give us victory Danzo. And whether you believe it or not, you have that will too.' I spent days wondering what he meant, and then I realised that I did know what he meant. ROOT was disbanded after the Uchiha massacre, It was then I realised that before Hiruzen even told about the will of fire, I had seen an example of it."

Danzo looked at Naruto then and smiled, "this boy had it in him. He fought for a boy he had never met before. He risked his life for a fellow villager. I knew then that this boy didn't just have a spark of the will, he had an inferno. So I decided to bet my future on this boy," he then looked at Mifune right in the eye, "and so far I have not regretted that."

Mifune smiled and nodded, "I see. I understand Danzo, forgive me for not understanding your thoughts before, I see it clearly now. But are you hiding anything from me?"

"Of course I am, what kind of ninja would I be if I didn't?"

"A bad one," Mifune replied with a laugh, "very well, I'll let Naruto and you stay here for the time being. Konoha has not said anything about losing their jinchuriki and I do not plan on telling them least they think we had something to do with this. I assume you two have money needed to stay here?"

"We do."

"Good. While here I do however have certain conditions that are non negotiable," Mifune said to which Danzo narrowed his eye, he then nodded and Mifune continued, "while here Naruto is allowed to work for money but if he is found to be a nuisance of any kind he and you will be kicked out. And that means no pranks," he said looking right at Naruto, "I had my spies dig up information about you in Konoha, what they found was...disturbing."

"I probably did only about half of what they think I did," Naruto said grinning.

Mifune smiled back, "be that as it may, still, no will however be disgused as a citizen here, and in oder to do so you will have to go to our schools."

"You want to train me as a samurai?"Naruto not being his luck. Here he was wondering where he was going to do to find a trainer and here was the answer just dropped on his lap.

"Haha, no, no," Mifune said laughing, "we do things differently here. The school you will go to will teach you what an ordinary civilian school will teach. If you are talented enough to join the samurai corps then you will be trained as a samurai, which will added as an extra course, if you do not become a samurai then you will be assigned a civilian class instead. But I do think you might be a fine addition to the samurai corps."

"Aren't you a little free in your teachings?" Naruto asked, "I mean what if one day I am forced to fight you? Why would you even think of letting someone you barely know learn your techniques?"

Mifune nodded to this while Danzo scowled. Naruto knew he was pushing his luck, he should have just kept quiet but he needed to know, "it is simple Naruto. In the Land of Iron skill demands training. It is the duty of every samurai to train talent when they see it, to not do so is a crime. So to us it doesn't matter if you are an enemy, if you wish to learn, and you are willing to train and struggle to do so, no one will stop you. Such is the code of the samurai."

Danzo smirked, "you are just hoping you get to keep him if he like being a samurai. You are a sneaky one Mifune."

The old samurai smirked as well, "I am caught am I? Yes it would be interesting to have young Naruto join our army, we have never had a jinchuriki of our own. But never mind all this, as I was saying, Naruto you will join our schools and work, as of now you and Danzo will be our citizens."

Naruto bowed, "thank you for letting me join bandage gramps, I promise I won't let you down."

Mifune laughed at his nickname and directed Naruto and Danzo through the town hall building as he helped Danzo and Naruto register as citizens. Soon Naruto and Danzo found themselves in a hotel with samurai guarding their room, too keep them safe, or to keep them in was anyone's guess.

Inside Naruto quickly formed two clones and made one transform into Danzo. The clones then sat down in one corner and began talking about random topics such as what Naruto would learn and how exciting this all was.

While the clones did that Danzo created a special area around the original Naruto and himself from which no voice could be heard. Hence while the guards outside won't be able to here Naruto and Danzo really talk, they wouldn't get too suspicious by the silence due to the two clones talking.

"That's some acting Danzo," Naruto said as he took of his heavy coat and ninja mask.

"Thank you master, though I do ask that you refrain from asking too many questions, we were fortunate for the samurai's foolish way of thinking, if you had insulted Mifune then I do not think even I could escape from the Land of Iron."

Naruto nodded, "noted. Now tell me, what did you mean when you said that ROOT was dismantled."

"Just that. After the Uchiha massacre the Third dismantled ROOT, I didn't of course."

"I see..." Naruto said deep in thought, "how did you convince Mifune so easily? It seemed...too easy. From the way you described the man I expected someone more…capable as a negotiator. He gave us everything without asking for anything."

Danzo nodded, "luck I suppose, or maybe he had something he is not telling us."

"Maybe...or maybe you are not telling me something," Naruto said as he slowly started to channel chakra into his voice, "what aren't you telling me Danzo?"

Danzo grounded his teeth and tried to resist but couldn't, "I have an ability," Danzo said as he slowly unwrapped the bandages around his covered right eye revealing a red eye.

"I-is that, the Sharingan?!" Naruto asked as he exclaimed his shock at seeing the previously thought dead dojutsu, "how did you get it?!"

"I obtained it from the previous owner," Danzo said, "it has a powerful genjutsu called Kotoamatsukami, it's previous owner Shisui Uchiha used it with great skill and died in the line of duty."

"Are you lying to me?" Naruto asked.

"Yes."

"Then tell me the truth, and never lie to me again."

"I killed Shisui and obtained his sharingan. I needed to make sure he wouldn't sue such a power on me or use it to harm Konoha."

"What does it do?"

"I allows the user to gain complete and utter control over an individual, without the individual knowing they are being controlled."

Naruto's eyes widened in surprise, "WHAT!? Have you ever tried to use that on me?!"

"No, you ordered me to never try an betray you, and hence I have never used it on you."

Naruto sighed in relief, "I see. That is a powerful technique indeed. What are the drawbacks?"

"It can be only used once a decade," Danzo said.

"WHAT!? Only once a decade?!"

Danzo nodded, "yes, but I have made some modifications to my body which allows me to use it once everyday."

Naruto sighed in relief once again, "that's good, it would have been useless if we couldn't use it more often. But tell what body modifications did you do?"

Danzo then revealed his right arm which was covered in bandages and sealed in a metal case. He then opened the seal and took off the bandages and inside was a pale white with a face attached to his shoulder. On his forearm were ten sharingans and each were looking right at Naruto.

"W-what did you do to yourself."

"What I had to. I did this so that one day, if the need arose I could control the nine tailed fox, ironically, the nine tailed fox now controls me."

Naruto looked at the eyes and the face attached to the man's arm, "you wanted to control me? In case I got out of control?"

"Yes, and if need be to use as a weapon."

Naruto knew Danzo's way of thinking and in a way could understand it, but he didn't like the fact that there was someone out there who would go to such lengths to try and control him. He needed to also cross the line like Danzo had done, he also needed the power to control the nine tailed beast. He needed more strength and if causing him to become a freak like Danzo is the only way to do it, then so be it.

"I want it," Naruto said as he looked at Shisui's eye, "I want this power. With it I can improve my mind control power even more that what it is."

Danzo nodded, "very well it shall be done. The first process we need to completely is the injection of Hashirama's cells into your body so that you will be able to use Wood release."

"Why do I need wood release? It seems unnecessary."

"Hashirama's cells grants me the stamina needed to use Kotoamatsukami once everyday. Also with the cells you're already amazing healing will probably increase ten times more than what it is."

"Will I also grow," NAruto asked pointing to the face sticking out of Danzo's shoulder, "a face?"

Danzo shook his head, "I am not sure. This arm was taken from Shisui himself, I transplanted it using Hashirama's cells, but I was not able to control them for long. Due to my lack of mastery over the cells they took over and tried to reform Hashirama. Luckily I stopped it just in time, though the face is an unfortunate side effect. But I am sure due to your chakra reserves and your Uzumaki bloodline, which is similar to the Senju bloodline, you will be able to fully master wood release, or at the very least have control over Hashirama's cells."

Naruto nodded at this, "then after you do that you will give me Shisui's eye."

Danzo bowed low, "of course, master."

Naruto quickly dispelled the silencing jutsu and then dispelled the two clones who had just finished talking. The two previous Konoha citizen then quickly went to bed, one filled with thoughts of obtaining power and the other filled with anger but he couldn't do anything about it.

The next day Naruto and Danzo were taken by an escort from New Iron town to their new home in the Land of Iron, Tiger Star city. TS was the most popular place in the land of Iron with the top educational institutes and even the number one samurai training base in the land. The city was bright and filled with colours, something Naruto was grateful for. There were people everywhere and the whole city looked like one big never ending party, which was why Naruto was sad when he was taken away from the city center.

The two ninja were lead to a house near the end of the city and were unceremoniously dropped off there with a few bags of clothes and a small amount of food. The house itself looked old as the ground with broken windows a frame that looked like it was termite heaven and mose growing everywhere.

"Well I didn't expect the best house but I doubt even criminals won't be made to live here," Naruto said as he walked up to the main door. He pushed to door open as the wooden mess promptly broke off it's hinges and fell backwards.

"We are ninja, we can survive in any weather. With some help from your clones we can have this house ready in no time," Danzo said as the man examined the wooden floors.

"We should be careful though," Naruto said, "this is the land of samurai, not ninjas."

Danzo nodded, "cover the house with a tent, we are far away that any activity going on inside the tent will not be seen as suspicious. For now let us focus on getting the heat back on before we freeze to death."

Naruto nodded, it was the middle of december. Quickly Naruto summoned several clones that went to the basement to fix the pipes there in order to get water and a supply of hot air flowing into the house again. All the cities in the Land of Iron were built this way with hot springs underneath them, whether natural or unnatural.

The steam from the springs would flow through the pipes that were all over the building heating said building up inside and out. With the clones at work downstairs Naruto went to work in the kitchen fixing dinner and guess what it is, if you guessed ramen you were probably right.

It took Naruto a week to get the entire house ready for living in and just as he did Danzo finally told him that he was ready to fuse Naruto with Hashirama's cells.

Naruto walked to the now fixed and furnished basement where Danzo waited for him. Danzo had taken over the basement converting it into a lab filled with several glass cases of different color and a huge work bench with several scientific instruments.

"Where did you get all this?" Naruto asked Danzo as the boy noted most of these looked very expensive.

"I brought them over from Konoha."

"So when I told you to gather things you think you might need you brought all this?"

Danzo nodded, "yes master. I need these instruments to maintain the cells in my body, else they might over take my body."

Naruto raised an eyebrow, "will that happen to me? Because that is too much of a weakness to obtain if I infuse myself with those cells."

Danzo shook his head, "no master I do not believe so."

"And you are a scientist on the subject of this?"

"I am not a scientist, but I have done my research on the cells. My body was very old and weak when I infused myself with them. You are yet to grow and at the young age of 11 your chakra can be every easily modified." Danzo then moved to his table and grabbed an instrument that looked like a very powerful syringe. Inside the syringe was a big dose of a green coloured chemical, "this will infuse your body with a concentrated dose of Hashirama's cells, which should be enough to give you wood release."

Naruto nodded and slowly rolled up the sleeve of his orange shirt, "anything I should know before hand?"

"The Kyuubi might try and fight the cells. It is aware of what is going on in your body, if it even thinks you are trying to control it it will do anything it can to destroy the cells."

"So how do I fight it?"

"I am not sure, I don't even think the Kyuubi will notice, but either way after this shot I think it is best if you go to bed, if all works out well then the next day you will have fully fused with Hashirama's cells."

"And you're sure I will not get a face attached to some part of my body?" Naruto asked as Danzo brought the needle over his right bicep.

"I am," Danzo pressed the needle hard until the skin broke away giving access to the needle.

"Why?"

Danzo looked up and met Naruto's eyes, "because you are an Uzumaki," he then pushed the cells into Naruto and when it was empty, pulled the needle out. Taking a cotton ball he pressed it on Naruto's skin and wiped away and excess blood.

Naruto winced at the needle leaving and quickly pressed the spot the needle pierced and held it until it healed, "what do you mean because I am an Uzumaki?"

"The Uzumaki was-"

"-is" Naruto interrupted.

"Right. Is a very powerful bloodline. Your key features are the large amount of chakra you all posses and your amazing life span. But there is also another, your ability to adapt is second to none. Normally an adult can never properly cope with having a jinchuriki sealed inside of them. Yes, they can store it, but they will never be able to use it fully. The Kyuubi's previous jinchuuriki were both Uzumaki. Mito Uzumaki, the wife of the the first Hokage, was the first jinchuuriki of the nine tails. She had it sealed inside of her when she was and adult, but despite this she managed to use the Kyuubi's power with great skill.

"Your mother on the other hand had the Kyuubi sealed in her when she was around your age. And while she couldn't use the Kyuubi's powers consciously, she could draw on it. Something most containers can't do if the beast was sealed in them at an older age. Killer Bee of Kumo had the eight tails sealed in him when he was around your age and though the man can use it's powers now it was very difficult for him in the beginning."

"Meaning what?" Naruto asked.

"Like you unconsciously using the Kyuubi's chakra to heal yourself. Killer Bee at first couldn't do that, now however he can. But back to what I was saying, the Uzumaki bloodline is very very good at adapting." Danzo then took a brush and quickly drew several seals all over Naruto's right arm and over the boy's face.

"What are these for?" Naruto asked,.

"These seals will help activate the cells. Once you get to bed pour some chakra into them and they will help you reach into your own mind, there you should be able to see the fox. Do your best to distract it as the cells work on your body. If the fox notices your depiction you might just have a fight in your hand."

Naruto nodded and quickly left for his room upstairs leaving Danzo alone in his land. Danzo waited until Naruto left and then opened his arm revealing the cotton he used to wipe Naruto's blood. Smirking, Danzo put the cotton into a beaker of clear liquid and watched as the liquid slowly turned red as blood.

'I cannot betray you, but I will never stop trying,' Danzo said as he thought of several ways that he could neutralize Naruto's control over him and then suddenly his brain started to hurt, 'right, I can't even think of betraying the brat!'

Danzo's head eventually calmed down and he sat down on the floor panting. He had a plan, it may or may not work, but he was going to give it a shot. Danzo then got up and collected some of the blood in a test tube and began to analyze the blood finding out ways to stop Naruto when suddenly his head started to hurt again.

Quickly Danzo wrote down several reading he had taken on a piece of paper and then activated his Kotoamatsukami making himself forget what he was doing. The now memory cleared Danzo stood in front of a microscope and saw a notepad in front of him with information about a subject 'N'.

'Who is subject N? No wait, I wiped my own memory meaning I shouldn't remember it. I need to save this data, and begin my research into what it is tomorrow when I can use the Kotoamatsukami again.'

Danzo then took the note with the new data and put in a file he had hidden from Naruto. Inside the file were several noted similar to this one, most were observation of subject N and his abilities and theories.

Danzo had a suspicion of who subject N was, but he wasn't sure, because he had previously used the Kotoamatsukami, when he was first enslaved, to make himself to never think that subject N was Naruto. And this was the only reason Danzo could work on finding ways to kill subject N without gaining a major headache in the process. After all Naruto only told Danzo to never betray him, not subject N.

Upstairs Naruto sat down on his bed and poured chakra into his gravity and chakra suppression seals, he would need all the strength he had. He then challenged chakra into the seals Danzo drew, the seals glowed green and Naruto felt sleepy. He fell backwards into his bed and quickly drifted into his mind.

Naruto then snapped his eyes open and found himself in the center of a tunnel with his body floating in the water. He got up and and found that he wasn't even wet, it was like the water wasn't even there. He quickly started walking around, if Danzo was right then the fox would be around here somewhere.

Naruto noticed the pipes glow blue and red and if he were it guess Naruto would think that the pipes were his chakra. He then decided to follow them and quickly he found himself in front of what looked like a giant cage with a seal in front of it. Naruto felt a cool breeze push him further inside towards the cage.

The other side of the cage looked black, pitch black. Naruto didn't know what to expect so he simply kept wary and alert. Suddenly Naruto saw something move inside the cage and just like that two giant red eyes opened in front of Naruto as a pair of white teeth appeared in the form of a smile, "so, my jailor finally decided to come and greet me."

"Hello Kyuubi," Naruto said with a fake smile, "I expected you….bigger."

"HAHA! You certainly have guts boy I'll give you that! But then again for the man who now can control people with words alone I expected nothing less."

"You know about that?" Naruto asked.

"Oh yes I do know about that. I know everything you have done as I can see through the seal what goes on in your life. And I must say you certainly are a ruthless ninja to control so many people without a care in regards to what they want."

"They are happy under my control, they are safe. I give most of them suppose in life."

"And that purpose if to serve you?"

"Yes, it is," Naruto replied without flinching.

"HAHA! Good good. Your do not regret your decisions. That is good. Last thing I need is a jailer who is so weak and scared of his own power that he refuses to use it. Though I must say your parents will be sad to hear you have abandoned Konoha. They gave their life for the village."

"And now their dead. I love my parents true, but no one will ever control me. Not even them. I will control my fate, no one else. Let them try if they think they can, I'll destroy them."

"You have guts boy I'll give you that much. But tell me how are you going to go about obtaining this power of yours?"

"Any way I can," Naruto said as he felt something enter his body, the cells were active, he just had to hold out long enough for the fox not to notice.

"Oh? Like fusing Hashirama's cells in your own body?"

Naruto's eyes widened the moment the fox said that. Out of the bars of the cage an orange paw flew out and tried to grab Naruto. Quickly Naruto jumped away and landed on one of the walls. He quickly performed several seals and yelled, "wind release: cutting whirlwind!" Naruto took a deep breath and then blasted a gust of wind towards the Kyuubi's arms cutting it in several places.

The arm however didn't stop, it bent and then tried to grab Naruto yet again only for Naruto jump away and then send a great fireball right into it's forearm.

The kyuubi grunted in slight pain and pulled its arm back in the cage. Naruto thought he had won before a blast of red bubbly chakra threw him off the wall and launched him across the room. Naruto got up from the water and saw the red chakra form into several hands all trying to break into the pipes carrying Naruto's chakra.

'It's trying to destroy the cells in my chakra coils,' Naruto realised. He quickly gathered his chakra into his voice and yelled, "STOP IT!"

Suddenly the red hands stop and just as Naruto thought he had stopped the Kyuubi it chuckled, "stupid brat! You think you can control me?! You can't even control a jonin, let alone a being formed completely out of chakra!"

Naruto ground his teeth and quickly reach for his kunai pouch, only to find it not there, 'shit! I don't actually have weapons in here.' Realising he could probably only affect the Kyuubi with ninjutsus Naruto quickly summoned hundreds of clones and each launched a powerful attack on the several chakra arms the Kyuubi possessed.

"Great fireball jutsu!" Naruto yelled out as he burt a single arm by himself while the clone worked in teams to destroy the rest.

"You are creative brat I'll give you that," the Kyuubi said, "but nothing against the full force of my power!" Suddenly a shockwave erupted from the cage rattling the seal and the gates and pushing Naruto off his feet and dispelling all of his clones.

Naruto found himself thrown into the wall where the red pipes turned into red chakra arms and grabbed him and held him in place. Naruto struggled to try and get out but the arms had a good grip on him. Out of the cage the Kyuubi's arm came out again. It extended one claw and pressed it on Naruto's chest.

"You fought well brat, but you are nothing when compared to me," the Kyuubi said as he then pressed his claw into Naruto's chest.

Naruto yelled out in pain as he felt the Kyuubi's chakra flow like acid through his body. He felt it try and fight Hashirama's cells and it was winning. Naruto needed to get out, he needed to get free, he needed more power! Naruto channeled his chakra all over the place in a desperate attempt to release himself and then suddenly something caught.

He felt the blue gem Recca gave which was now embedded in the palm of his hand. He felt the gem heat up as he channeled more and more chakra into it until finally it exploded outwards and a great stream of fire burnt the chakra hand holding Naruto to the wall.

Now freed Naruto used both arms and pushed the Kyuubi's claw away from his chest and he felt the acid like chakra stop flowing in his veins. Naruto then channeled chakra into his limbs and with extra strength he pushed the claw away just long enough for him to jump away to safety.

"Hmm," the Kyuubi said, "looks like you have an ace up your sleeve you weren't even aware about. But no matter no pathetic power that fool you call a brother gave you will help you now."

Naruto got ready for the next attack but suddenly the blue gem in his hand glowed brighter and brighter as suddenly his palm bursted into flames and out of that flame came eight streams of fire that moved like they were alive, no, they were alive!

Naruto watched as out of the palm of his hand eight dragons made out of fire were released. They each looked different with different coloured flames and with different eyes. The eight dragons stood tall as they eyed the Kyuubi.

"Karyu," the Kyuubi growled out with narrowed eyes, "I thought you fire leeched would be dead by now."

One of the dragons, with one single great eye, stepped forward and floated closer to the cage, "we are just as immortal as you Kyuubi, as long as there is an heir to HachiKaryu we will exist."

The Kyuubi stepped closer to the cage and Naruto saw his face for the first time. It was a fox, a big fox. But it honestly didn't look like a demon, it just looked like a big fox with major anger issues. Naruto nodded it's teeth were shown and it looked like it was snarling, "well which one are you, you all look the same to me."

"I am Koku," the dragon said, "and you best treat us with respect Kyuubi. After all we are out here while you are in there."

The Kyuubi snarled and charged at the cage only to be bounced back. It got up to try again only for one of the dragons, one having three green eyes, to come forward and summon a wall of fire in front of the cage thereby blocking sight of the Kyuubi.

"What an annoying guy," said the three eyed dragon, "remember that time he tried to eat one of us?"

Another dragon, one with eight small eyes four on each side, shook its head, "honestly that thing is a menace."

"Enough," said Koku and the other dragon all looked at him, "we have work to do."

Slowy the other dragons all turned and looked at Naruto who was still in shock. He then noticed the dragon were all looking at him and he snapped out of it, "who are you all?"

"We," began Koku, "are the Karyu. 8 dragons who make up the kekkai genkai of the Hachikaryu clan. Unlike other kekkei genkai we are sentient and so we can pick and choose who we serve."

"A concious kekkei genkai? I never would have imagined," Naruto said finding things becoming stranger and stranger as things went on, "so you are the power Recca possessed?"

Goku nodded, "Indeed. Young Recca was the first person in a long time to even be able to partially use our abilities."

"Partially?!" Naruto exclaimed, "he took on the entirety of ROOT with your power!" Danzo had told him that. He had explained how Recca summoned the spirits of the dead back to life and then use them to fight the remaining ROOT ninjas.

"So you can imagine how powerful we really are," Koku said.

"Stupid brat couldn't use any of use properly," said one of the dragons. This one had four long jaws which looked like fangs.

"Don't talk about Recca like that!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Oh? And what will you do if I don't stop?" asked the dragon as he tried to tower over Naruto and intimidate him.

It didn't work. Naruto quickly formed several seals, he took a large breath and the shoot out a torrent of water at the dragon, "Water release: Large Projectile!" The water hit the dragon and then hissed as it melted on contact. Naruto however didn't stop, he pushed further and managed to hit the dragon long enough to knock him back.

"Why you little-" the dragon began.

"-Enough!" Koku cried out, " we do not have time for this! Naruto we need to talk to you. Naruto Uzumaki you are the next head of the Hachikaryu as said by Recca. Do you accept this duty and do you accept this power?"

Naruto readied himself. He stood up straighter and nodded, "I do."

The dragons then came closer and surrounded Naruto all around, the four jawed one was less enthusiastic about this. Koku then spoke up, "you will be tested Naruto. Each of us will come one by one and we will test you to see if you are worthy of our power. Do you understand?"

Naruto nodded, "I do."

"Then good luck boy, you will need it," and with that the dragons all exploded into flames and collapsed into Naruto. The went into the blue gem yet again and Naruto felt new chakra enter his body.

This one felt like fire and he felt the Kyuubi's chakra slowly meet the Hashirama cells. Instead of them canceling each other out, they fused and Naruto felt a burst of power pour out of his chakra coils. Naruto screamed out and suddenly the world went white.

Naruto woke up the next day in his bed like nothing had happened at all. But Naruto knew something must have changed, he could feel it. He could feel a chakra that wasn't inside of him before. He could feel the Hashirama cells inside of him, but something felt different about them, something was not right.

Naruto held out a hand and channeled some of the new chakra he was feeling into the palm of of his hand. From what Danzo explained he should be able to form a wooden structure now, but instead of a wooden structure coming out, something else did.

Slowy out of the palm of his hand a black and white sapling slowly formed. It's leaves were made of fire and between the black and white coloured wood one could see it was burning hot to the touch.

Naruto smiled as he slowly understood what had happened. The wood release of Hashirama's cells combined with the fire of the dragon's chakra to form a new type of jutsu. So now instead of the wood release Naruto had the Ember release.

Done, REVIEWS! Please I'm like a review vampire, plus I'm bored gives me something to read. Anyway tell me something you like about this chapter, I personally liked the Danzo scheming thing, because he sees himself as fighint subject N, not Naruto, a work around of Naruto's oders. SOmething I think somebody like Danzo would do.
