All whirlpool charecters exept Naruto and kushina belong to me. Naruto and Kushina belong to Kishimoto.
As the Convoy moved on Naruto stood to the side and watched it go by. "I wonder what happened to the other Leaf survivors that were not picked up by my clones. I am pretty sure some managed to escape the village." Naruto wondered to himself. During the search of the village by the clones they had taken a census of the total amount of dead Leaf ninja and civilians.
As of when they left they had a total of 49 Ninja unaccounted for mostly Jounin and Anbu. And 172 Civilians whose bodies had not been found even with the assistance of the Inuzuka clan dogs that had helped to search what areas of the village had been reduced to rubble. They had detected a few bodies under the rubble. But all were dead. Those had been Identified and accounted for by the clones before being turned over to the Aburame for burial as they had not been ninja but civilians which meant that they did not know any Leaf Village Jutsu of any kind including Taijutsu.
Once the Convoy passed Naruto semi ran to the center and took up his assigned escort point. FLASHBACK NO JUTSU "Naruto it would be a good idea if you were to post yourself in the middle of the refugee Convoy. This way you could respond to any attacks immediately in either direction within a matter of seconds.
This is also a good idea because of your ability with the shadow clones and your abnormal chakra reserves." Neji advised Naruto when he had asked him if he had any ideas about making the maximum coverage possible for the survivors once they left the village. "Right then that is where I will be. I will provide a shadow clone to the leaders in the front of the convoy to show them the way to Whirlpool." Naruto responded. Neji nodded his approval then went back to his task of tying lee to the wagon seat. The overenthusiastic green beast had been trying to help out with the convoy despite his injuries at the hands of Sabaku no Gaara much to his teammate's dismay.
Naruto had let him do it but warned him not to overdo it. If he did he would be tied to a wagon chair for the majority of the trip. Naruto did let Lee be tied to the seat of the first wagon in the convoy as a way of appeasing the older Genin. FLASHBACK KAI NO JUTSU.
As the Convoy moved forwards and got closer to the Whirlpool Village they increased their pace to the village in order to get the civilians and children under the protection of more skilled Whirlpool Chunnin and Jounin. It was when they where within 900 meters of the gate that things got bad Neji saw them first and spread the alarm
"Naruto we have Sound Ninja Approaching to the rear distance 1800 meters" Neji bellowed. Naruto, Hinata, and Rosin all about faced and raced to the rear of the convoy pulling out Kunai Knifes and Shurikan. Naruto lagged behind for a moment as he bellowed words to the Convoy Drivers and civilians who were walking.
"Get moving get inside the village move don't stop." he barked before speeding up and catching up to the other 2 ninja. Once in the rear the Leaf ninja formed a barrier with the help of Naruto's shadow clones. Neji was the first to make contact by darting forward and to the right to deliver a killing blow to a Sound Nins chest. Naruto was close behind and he knocked a Sound Jounin into a pair of Sound Genin.
While the three were disoriented Naruto hurriedly slit their thoughts with his knife then moved on. It was chaos Shadow clones were everywhere battling the sound Nins, Providing backup to the other Leaf Ninja, Making sure that no Sound Ninja got past them, or Making sure that the Sound didn't try to come at the convoy from another direction.
Naruto didn't know it at the time but just as the attack started Whirlpool Ninjas had arrived and had taken over escort duty while some went back to help stop the Sound Attack. Naruto punched a Sound Nin in the stomach then rammed his knife into his opponents head killing him instantly when he was suddenly kicked forward falling on top of the dead sound Nin.
Naruto looked up behind him and saw a Sound Jounin standing over him and bringing down a Knife. Just as the knife was about to hit it was deflected and the Sound Nins head flew off in the opposite direction. Naruto blinked in surprise. Then he saw the person who had saved his life. "Grandfather?" Naruto asked. The man smiled "yes are you okay Naruto?" He asked. Naruto climbed to his feet. "Yes I am fine now thanks for coming to help us."
Naruto responded with a smile. "You're the Image of your mother when you smile like that but now are not the time. The remaining sound forces need to be dealt with come Naruto." he ordered. Naruto nodded and jumped off in the direction of the fighting which had at that point passed them by.
Despite the efforts of the Leaf Ninja and Shadow clones some Sound ninja had gotten past them and were advancing on the convoy but they were stopped by the Whirlpool ninja who had been escorting the Convoy which at that moment was within 200 meters of the gate and safety. The Whirlpool Jounin didn't take any chances and ruthlessly killed any sound ninja that got past the first and second lines of defense comprising of Leaf ninja with shadow clones assisting with the help of newly arrived Uzumaki clan ninja in the first line the second line was comprised of Shadow clones and lesser ranked whirlpool ninja.
As the fighting raged Hinata had just taken down a couple of sound Chunnin when she was knocked down by a flying shadow clone that had been kicked in her direction. As she struggled to get up she saw a sound Chunnin standing over her. He leered at her and brought his knife down on her. Just as the knife was about to make contact a shadow passed over her and knocked the sound ninja away. She blinked it was Neji.
Neji continued his assault and knocked the sound ninja down onto his knees. Then Tenten was there. Instead of killing him she knocked him out with a blow to the back of the neck. "I just got orders from Naruto's Grandfather we are to take as many prisoners as we can without risking our necks more than is necessary." Tenten explained to the 2 Hyuuga. They both nodded and took off in different directions.
Neji landed in the middle of a group no Sound Nins and used the Rotation to knock them away from each other. Several hit some trees and rocks either killing them or knocking them senseless enough for some of Naruto's clones to knock them out and be taken prisoner. The ones that did not get hit landed a short distance away. Before they could launch a counter attack Tenten was there and killed them all with her kunai knives.
She smirked at Neji who was glowering at her then took off in the direction of the first line which by this point was less than 59 meters from the gate The second line had merged with the first and the sound ninja were beginning to fall back. The whirlpool and Leaf ninja were unwilling to let that happen and redoubled their efforts in killing them all.
The refugee convoy had already entered the village and the Whirlpool ninjas that had been protecting them moved up and joined in the fighting. Naruto ducked under a Sound Ninjas cross kick then brought his knee up and connected with the ninja's stomach causing the man to lose his breath for a moment. That was all the time Naruto needed and he rammed another knife into the man's chest right where the heart would be.
Naruto then looked around and noticed that it was silent. From what he could see there were no more sound ninja left except those that were being brought into the village as prisoners and there were quite a few of them. Uzumaki Keanu was standing close by and was shouting orders to the various whirlpool ninja.
Sarutobi Rosin was had already entered the village and was checking on the civilians. Naruto looked around and to his delight spotted every one of the surviving Leaf ninja some whom were injured but were now under the medical care of the Whirlpool Medical Ninja. Naruto remained outside the gates until the last Leaf Ninja was inside. All of the Shadow clones had either been dispelled during the battle or were dispelling themselves now that the battle was over.
After taking a few minutes to look at the gate Naruto walked into the village of his mother's birth. Naruto's grandfather and Uncle followed him inside. When he walked into the village Naruto noticed several things. One of which was that the Academy students were being rounded up and put into a separate group. "What is going on with the students Grandfather?" Naruto asked "those students will be sorted and placed into the whirlpool academy. With the permission of their parents and your permission of course."
his grandfather responded. Naruto smirked "fine those kids have been cooped up in the convoy and have not had a good chance to burn off their excess energy this should do them good especially Konohamaru and his 2 friends Moegi and Udon. They have been driving me nuts" he replied ignoring the muffled laughter coming from his Uncle. "I have word from the hospital your critically wounded have been treated they will be fine but wont be out of the hospital for a long time.
"Keanu said. Naruto nodded in reply. "And what is the status of my request for sanctuary for myself and the other Leaf Survivors?" he asked. "Your request has been accepted and the Godaime Uzukage has given permission for all leaf ninjas to keep their leaf headbands if they so desire." Uzumaki Lipan Naruto's grandfather replied. "Thanks grandfather. I need to arrange a meeting with the Uzukage as I am nominally in charge of the survivors. And as such their well being is my top concern followed by the other Leaf Ninja." Naruto asked.
"Actually I think she wants to speak to you more here she comes." Keanu warned. Naruto grimaced on the inside speaking with his Aunt was okay but speaking with her when she was in Kage mode was not. He remembered a couple of times when she had lectured him in her office about proper decorum and how an Uzumaki should act. It had not been fun for him and after the second time Naruto had been extra careful not to draw his families wrath on him while he was visiting.
But then that was back when he was around 9 or 10. He was 12 going on 13 and was now charged with the safety of the surviving hidden Leaf survivors. When she walked up she enveloped Naruto in a huge hug. "I am very glad you're safe Naruto you had us worried when we receive the report from Keanu's genin about what had happened." Naruto returned the hug with a smile.
"thanks Aunt Kerala My report on what happened to the leaf will be on your desk later but right now I need to look for shelter for the survivors and get the children situated including the academy students." he said pulling back a little bit. His Aunt smiled at him. "That has been taken care of Naruto and shelter is being provided for everyone including you. Your family can't wait to see you again and we have had some new additions since you been gone." she replied. Naruto blushed a bit at that but said nothing.
After a few minutes of sorting things out and turning over the non clan Jutsu to the Whirlpool Anbu excluding the forbidden scroll which Naruto was not going to let out of his sight until he got it safely stored in his mothers scroll safe that she had left behind before moving to Konoha to marry his father. As time passed the various groups moved away from the entrance to the temporary housing that had been hastily set up for the incoming refugees. Naruto walked with his uncle to the Uzumaki clan estate.
The other Leaf Nins if they had family with them went to temporary houses in order to stay together as a family. The Hyuugas presented a special problem as there were so many of them. In order to deal with the large numbers the Whirlpool council had opened up an Estate that had been on hold for any large clans that wanted to join the village. This of course worked out fine. Naruto had sent shadow clones with the orphans who did not have any family left to make sure they arrived at their destinations without any trouble.
Once he passed the gate Naruto was knocked to the ground by a couple of flying missiles by the name of Uzumaki Lita and Uzumaki Morita. They were 7 year old twins that had started to hero worship Naruto after they had learned that he was from another village and was a notorious prankster before he became a genin. "Yay Naruto you're here" they shouted at the same time.
Naruto groaned and tried to ignore the laughter coming from his older relatives. "Hello you two how have you been? Have you been staying out of trouble like I asked?" Naruto said. The two children smiled at him in the way that all children do when they look guilty and Naruto promptly sweat dropped. "Uh huh we have been very good and haven't pulled anymore pranks since you sent us that letter" Lita said. Naruto smirked at their response. "Hmm I don't know" Naruto replied. He then turned to another of his aunts who also happened to be the twin's mother.
"Have they been good aunt Zaria?" he asked as he finally stood up. His Aunt smiled at him while she pulled the two hyperactive children away and sent them scampering toward the house yelling joyfully. "Yes they have. They were especially delighted that you were coming to visit. They don't know what happened we decided that the young ones would not know just yet." Naruto nodded grimly then walked toward the house after picking up the forbidden scroll and handing it to his grandfather.
His grandfather would take him to his mothers scroll safe and help him put it in for safekeeping. "By the way Aunt Kerala I need to put together a team and go look for the rest of the survivors. Some were not accounted for and the Inuzuka Nin dogs picked up scents of Konoha civilians and ninja fleeting the area. They tried to catch up to them but they lost the trail either because it was to cold or they masked their own trail to prevent pursuit." His aunt nodded at him.
"that has been taken care of we already have Ninja out looking for them I even sent a squad to the Leaf Village to check on things there and to see if any of the survivors had returned. They should be back in few weeks." Naruto winced. "You should know that I blew up the village before we left I didn't want the sound village to claim it as their own. I also destroyed the faces on the monument. The sound would have defaced them in a pretty serious way and I didn't want to let that happen. So I destroyed them as well." Naruto responded. His aunt looked at him for a long moment before speaking
"I don know how much that must have hurt to do Naruto but if you thought it best to do it I will not say a word about it. But the other survivors if and when they find their way here may have something different to say about it." " yes and I am not looking forward to it but as long as a single bud stands the leaf will never die and before you ask no I will not become a whirlpool ninja unless the others agree as well but only if they agree they have to make the decision on their own."
Naruto responded. After that he accompanied his family into his ancestral home and for the first time in what seemed like forever he relaxed a bit. After a bit of catching up with his family Naruto put the scroll away and walked to his room that had been set up for him by his Aunts. Once he walked in and saw it his shout could be heard around the building.
"BLAST YOU UNCLE KEANU." Naruto howled. His only response was laughter from every single one of his relatives. They had all taken part in pranking him but Keanu had done most of it so naturally Naruto blamed him for it. Every single wall was pasted with pictures of nude girls, the roof was pink, the floor looked like it was covered in peeled oranges but it was really a genjutsu, and the bed looked like a giant ramen bowl.
After a few moments of gaping at his room he shrugged and walked over to the desk. After sitting down he started working on the report for the Uzukage. 3 hours later he finished up the final draft filed it away. When he looked out the window he saw that it was nighttime and the clock next to the wall was 7:45 pm. After he looked at the clock he walked out of the room and started toward the Uzumaki training grounds. When he got there he saw that the area was empty for the moment so he created 100 shadow clones and started to give those orders.
"Alright 25 of you go practice water walking and tree walking. 25 of you go pull some Jutsu out of the Uzumaki clan scroll and study them. 25 of you are to practice Taijutsu and the rest of you will work on strategy I will work out." once they had their orders the clones dispersed in various directions at once. Naruto then took the weights he had borrowed from the training room and put them on.
Once he did that he started to do various katas in order to get used to the weight he did this for several hours. Unknown to him he was being watched by his Grandfather, Uncles, and Aunts, along with several of his older cousins. After a while they left leaving just his Grandfather to watch. Naruto finally stopped and then returned to his room still unaware that he was being watched. Naruto changed into his pajamas then went to bed.
