Hey guys, back with another chapter. As for which summon contract Naruto will get, I think I am going to give him the dragon contract. Don't see many like that and I think it would work. I would also like to know if you all would like for Fu and Haku to have a summoning contract and if so which one?
The group of five ninja stood in front of a large double door gate that easily rivaled that of Konoha's main gates. They were surprised that the gates were still standing considering that the village was said to have been destroyed in the last ninja war. As they looked over the gate, they noticed two symbols on the gate, one on each door. The first everyone recognized as the Uzumaki clan swirl, the other was a snowflake symbol that caused Haku's eyes to widen.
Naruto stepped forward and tried to find some way of opening the large gate. He noticed that there were two smaller doors at the bottom of the gate, which had the same symbols on them, that seemed to be about twenty feet high and about thirty feet wide. He tried shoving on them and pushing his chakra through them but nothing happened.
"Try some blood Naruto, the Uzumaki were known for their fuinjutsu so maybe it has a blood seal on it." Zabuza said getting a nod from Naruto. Naruto took a kunai and made a small cut along his palm and placed it on the door. The blood flowed into the swirl symbol as he glowed for a few seconds before returning to normal. Once again Naruto tried to open the doors but nothing happened.
"Well at least we know is has to do with a blood seal. There just has to be something else to it." Gozu said looking over the gate.
Haku, who had quietly been looking over the snowflake symbol and watching the others, stepped forward. She made a kunai out of ice and sliced her palm open as well getting confused looks from the other four. She stepped forward and placed her hand on the door with the second symbol as blood was sucked into the symbol and started glowing. This caused everyone's eyes to widen and even more so when the doors swung open leaving them speechless.
"How did you do that Haku?" Meizu asked being the first to get over what just happened.
"I'm not sure but that snowflake is the clan symbol for my clan." Haku replied.
"That don't make any sense. Why would your clan symbol be on Uzushio's gates? Wasn't the Yuki clan from Kiri?" Naruto asked.
"That's what my Kaa-san had always told me but there must be some connection between the Yuki and the Uzumaki. We won't find any answers out here." Haku said as the other nodded and walked inside the gates.
As the group walked through the village, they were amazed at how clean the place was. There was no signs that people had died here or that the village was ever attacked other than the buildings that were destroyed. As they walked, they noticed one small section of the village seemed to be in a livable condition.
In the shadows of the buildings, people were moving back and forth watching the group of five. They weren't sure who they were or what their intentions were but they were ready for anything. Naruto, with his heightened senses due to Kurumi, heard the slight shuffling of footsteps and could smell the people that were hidden. In a whisper that was just loud enough for his group to hear him, Naruto spoke.
"Don't react to what I say just keep moving. We aren't alone here, we're surrounded and I can't tell by how many exactly just that they outnumber us." Naruto replied while observing his surroundings.
"How can you tell Naruto?" asked Haku.
"Like I said before, my senses are higher than others due to Kurumi-nee. I can smell and hear them." Naruto replied getting a nod from Zabuza.
"He's right, I can just barely make out the chakra signatures. They are really good at staying hidden." Zabuza said.
The five ninja gave a slight nod to each other before they jumped and landed back to back. Zabuza pulled Kubikiribocho off his back and the demon brothers slipped on their gauntlets. Haku pulled out some senbon and Naruto unsealed the Aki no Shi from the seal on his wrist. They all were on alert for the first sign of movement.
Suddenly, they were surrounded by ninja wielding different weapons. In all, there were about thirty ninja surrounding the group of five. All the unknown ninja pulled kunai and shuriken from their pouches and threw them at Naruto's group.
Naruto and Haku went through a quick set of hand signs and slammed their hands on the ground. "Crystal wall/ Ice wall!" Naruto and Haku shouted as a wall of ice and crystal surrounded the group of five. The large group of ninjas stopped with wide eyes at what that had just seen.
A woman that looked to be in her late twenties stepped forward with her hands raised and unarmed. She had snow white hair and crystal blue eyes. She were a light blue kimono that showed off her curvaceous body. No one noticed the light blush on Zabuza's face as he looked over the woman. "My Name is Rei Yuki, current leader of the Yuki clan. May I ask your names?" The now known Rei said shocking the five ninja.
Naruto stepped forward with his mother's blade still drawn. "I am Naruto Uzumaki, only known remaining Uzumaki. This is Zabuza Momochi, the demon brothers Gozu and Meizu, and Haku Yuki." Naruto replied pointing to each member of his group.
"Haku, Naruto, could it really be?" Rei thought to herself. "May I ask who your mother's were Haku, Naruto?"
"My mother's name was Akeno, what does th-" that was all Haku got out before she was tackled into a hug faster than anyone could see.
"I thought you were dead Haku, I searched everywhere for years for some sign of you but I couldn't find anything." Rei said as tears came to her eyes.
"What do you mean?" asked a very confused Haku.
"Akeno was my older sister, I am your aunt."
"I have family still alive?" Haku asked getting a nod from Rei before Haku hugged the older woman this time.
After a few minutes, Rei turned to Naruto waiting for his answer. "My mother's name was Kushina Uzumaki."
As Naruto said this, even more people came out of hiding and began bowing to Naruto. Naruto just stood there not knowing exactly what to do. "Umm, what's going on?"
"Welcome home, Prince Naruto." Rei said shocking the five ninja especially Naruto. "Your mother, Princess Kushina, was next in line to run the Land of Whirlpools. But before that could happen, Uzu came under attack and almost everyone was forced to leave. Since she was your mother that rightfully makes you the next to take over."
"How do you know his mother and what connection does the Yuki clan have with the Uzumaki?" Zabuza asked.
"The Yuki clan settled down here while the leadership of this village was under Ashina Uzumaki. Ashina was friends with the clan head of the Yuki at the time and Ashina offered the Yuki a place to stay. We weren't large in numbers yet but you could say this is where the Clan started. During the time Uzushio came under attack, members of the Yuki and Uzumaki were sent away from the battle. Kushina ended up in Konoha and Akeno went to Kiri, while I traveled around."
"Kushina, Akeno, and I kept in touch as much as possible. When I heard of Kurumi's attack on Konoha and your parent's deaths, I went to see if I could raise you but they had said you died as well. When the civil war started in Kiri, I tried to find Akeno and Haku but I didn't have any luck there either. Not knowing what else to do, the remaining Yuki members decided to return here." Rei explained.
"You know about the fox?" Meizu asked.
Rei nodded in response. "A few times when I visited Kushina, she pulled me into her mind scape and I met the fox. Kushina and Kurumi were best friends, which is why I was shocked to learn that Kurumi had attacked Konoha. What happened to Kurumi?"
Naruto made a set of hand signs as he gathered his chakra. "Kyuubi Bunshin." The red aura surrounded Naruto before leaving his body and taking on the form of a human body. Everyone watched as a young woman with fox ears and nine tails appeared.
"It's been a long time Rei." Kurumi said with a smile towards the woman.
"Kurumi, so Kushina's boy became the next jinchuriki. I only have one question, why did you attack Konoha?" Rei asked.
"It was against my will. I was ripped out of Kushina on the night she gave birth to Naruto. I was placed under a genjutsu by an Uchiha. I had no idea what happened until I was in the process of being resealed by Minato." Kurumi explained to the clan head.
Rei and Kurumi shared a quick hug before Rei turned back to Naruto. "So what are your plans Naruto?"
"I want to restart the village and bring it back to its former glory. I want to offer anyone who needs it a place to settle down and call home, and I want to seek out the other jinchuriki. If they had a life like I had, I want to offer them a place where they won't be hated for what they hold." Naruto stated in a serious tone.
This caused Rei and Kurumi both to smile at the young blond. "Just like your mother was, she always wanted the best for everyone. Let's show you around the village then we can start coming up with ways to achieve your goals." Rei said as she led them through the village.

It had been a couple days since the hokage had revealed to the village what had happened to Naruto. He revealed who his parents were and the reason why Minato wanted him seen as a hero. In the Hokage's office sat two older men. One was the third hokage himself, Hiruzen Sarutobi. The other was one of the hokage's students, the Gama Sennin, Jiraiya.
"Have you been able to find any trace of him Jiraiya?" asked the kage.
"I haven't been able to find a trace of him but I may have an idea of where he went." Replied the toad sage.
"And where would that be?"
"I would say he headed toward Uzushio. If he has a relationship with the fox like Kushina did, then they have already met. She probably told him of his parents and where Kushina came from and he left to find it. Uzushio is his home old man and you know that." Jiraiya replied.
"I want you to go and see if he is there. If he is then try and convince him to return." Hiruzen said.
"Alright, but I want to take a few people with me."
"And who would that be?" asked Hiruzen curious as to why he wanted others to go with him.
"I want to take the Uchiha, Anko, and Yugao. Those three were some of the few that were close to Naruto and maybe they can help me convince him to return." Jiraiya explained.
Hiruzen nodded and focused a little bit of chakra in his knee and touched a seal underneath the desk. A few seconds later and an anbu with a bear mask was kneeling in front of the desk. "Bear, I want you to find Sasuke Uchiha, Anko Mitarashi, and Yugao Uzuki and bring them here immediately."
"Hai Hokage-sama." And with that bear was gone.

At one of the many training grounds around Konoha, teams 7, 8, 9, and 10 were all gathered together for group training. Sai had replaced Naruto's position on team seven after the kage had looked over the available candidates to do so. It had been a long last few days for some of Konoha, especially those that were close to the missing blond. Three of those that were close to him was the last Uchiha, the next clan head of the Aburame clan, and the weapon mistress of team nine.
Naruto and Tenten had known each other early on in life growing up together in the orphanage. Shino had become friends with Naruto after Naruto didn't ignore him for being different due to the kikaichu in his body. Sasuke slowly became friends with Naruto after he and the blond started hanging out more and got to know each other.
The three genin had been having a hard time keeping their anger in check since the Hokage had addressed the village. Most of the villagers were just glad the demon child was gone and didn't want to believe he was the son of their beloved fourth hokage. They were hoping to be able to blow off some steam and calm down slightly, but today that just wasn't going to happen.
"Where do you think Naruto is at?" Kiba asked. He was never close to Naruto but he did enjoy playing pranks during the academy with the blond.
"Who cares where he is. We didn't need a demon running lose around the village anyways." Sakura screeched.
"Forehead is right, what would have happened if the demon would have got free? The village is better off without the baka. Ain't that right Sasuke-kun." Ino said looking over to Sasuke.
"None of you even knew him, the real him. He always wore a mask around everyone except his friends. Out of all of here, the only ones that saw the real Naruto was me, Shino, and Tenten. We are only a few of the ones that even cared for Naruto." Sasuke growled out.
"You can't really say you were friends with that demon." Ino and Sakura said in unison.
That was all it took to push the three genin over the edge. They had tried their best not to let the moronic villagers get to them but it just wasn't working anymore. Tenten and Sasuke both shot forward in a burst of speed. Tenten unsealed a katana from one of her scrolls and Sasuke unsheathed the ninjato, that he had been training to use, from its sheath on his back.
Before anyone knew what was going on, Sasuke and Tenten both had their blades at Ino and Sakura's neck. "Don't ever talk bad about Naruto-kun again!" Tenten growled out as she glared at Sakura.
"Or it will be the last time you ever do." Sasuke added as he glared at Ino. Just then, bear, hebi, and neko landed in the clearing causing everyone to break apart.
"Neko-chan, Hebi-chan, good to see you again." Tenten said while Sasuke and Shino waved.
Neko and Hebi gave a slight wave as bear cleared his throat. "Sasuke Uchiha, lord hokage wishes to see you immediately."
Sasuke nodded as he re-sheathed his blade and walked over to the trio of anbu. In a swirl of leaves, all four ninja disappeared from sight. The group reappeared in front of the hokage and Jiraiya. "Thank you bear, dismissed." Bear nodded and disappeared.
The three remaining ninja bowed to the leader of the village. He motioned for Neko and Hebi to remove their masks since he knew Sasuke knew who they were before he spoke. "You three are going with Jiraiya here. He believes he knows where Naruto ran away to and you four need to try and convince him to return."
"Like hell we are." Was the shared thought going through their heads at the moment. However they just nodded and turned to Jiraiya. "We leave in thirty minutes, pack whatever you need and meet me at the gate." Jiraiya said as he disappeared, a few seconds after and the remaining three left as well.

Underneath Konoha in a hidden base, sat an elderly man covered in bandages. He was currently looking over some information on his desk. In front of the desk were three ninja with blank white anbu masks on, these were ninja of root.
"What are your orders Danzo-sama?" asked one of the ninja in a monotone voice.
"It seems as though that old fool let our weapon get away. We need to find another one before the other villages learn of this." Danzo replied as he shuffled through some papers. He stopped on a piece of paper that had a picture of green haired girl with orange eyes. She had a short sleeveless midriff shirt with fishnet armor underneath it. She had white arm warmers and fishnet shorts covered by a short white apron skirt. This was Fu, jinchuriki to the nanabi.
"It seems as though Taki no longer wants their jinchuriki due to not feeling safe anymore. You three head to Taki and bring the girl back to me, I will make her a weapon like the boy was supposed to be." Danzo said.
"Hai Danzo-sama." The three replied before vanishing.

Rei had led the group of six around the village showing them different places and things that would need fixed. The last place to show them was the Uzukage tower. They made their way to the top and walked into the office.
"We have tried to keep everything as clean as possible." Rei said.
"It's alright. This is bigger than the hokage's office." Naruto said as he looked around.
"So do you plan on taking the seat now?" Haku asked.
Naruto just shook his head. "I'm nowhere near strong to take the kage seat yet. We will need to find someone to take the seat until I can become strong enough to protect the village."
Rei walked behind the desk and opened a draw and pulled out a scroll. She then walked over and gave it to Naruto. "This is the dragon summoning contract, the last one to use it was your mother. Work with the dragons to become stronger Naruto. It's getting late so we should probably get you five settled in for the night." Rei said as she motioned for the group to follow her.
Well there's chapter 4. Im not sure when the next update will be out, my computer battery and charger got messed up and I am using the last of my battery power to upload this chapter. I ordered a new one so hopefully it will be here soon.
Anyway, like I said. Let me know if you want Haku and Fu to have a summoning contract and what it should be. And don't forget to leave a review and let me know how the chapter was. Until next time, peace.
