"Dammit I forgot how cold this place was"
Four men were walking through the blizzard, their bodies visibly aglow in a cloak of chakra as they coated themselves to keep warm in the subzero temperatures.
One was a tall man with tanned skin and dark eyes. He had waist-length black hair typically styled in a centre-parted fringe that framed his face. He wore burgundy armor made of several plates and had a simple grey cloak around him. He didn't have any weapons besides a kunai pouch on him, not that he needed it.
One of the men was fair-skinned and had shaggy white hair and dark-coloured eyes. He had three red markings on his face, one under each of his eyes and one on his chin. He wore similar blue armor to the other man but his included a white fur collar and several extra kunai pouches. At his waist was an odd silver rod, like a handle for something.
The third man had waist length black hair and crimson plate armor similar to the other men. He was fair skinned as well and looked quite dangerous with the Gunbai and Kama going across his back. But that thing that caused him to look the most different was his bright red eyes with three red commas.
The last man had tan skin like the first man, spiky red and gold hair and bright blue eyes. He wore pitch black armor similar to the other men but slightly more streamline to fit his more slim figure. He wore black ANBU pants and black shinobi sandals. He had three swords, one was a sword as tall as him with a large crossguard so that it looked like a large cross. The other two were normal katana, one with a sheathe as black as night, the other as white as snow.
The four men continued to walk, their kage and bijuu level chakra pools not even budging as their armors of chakra blazed.
"I feel it" Naruto mumbled under his breath but loud enough for his companions to hear it.
"There it is" Tobirama commented. All four men flared their chakra, clearing the blizzard for a second allowing them to see what was before them. It was three mountains coated in snow but Naruto felt a thousand chakra signatures.
"I've missed you" He said as he and the three men walked toward the samurai stronghold.
"Niten Ichi-Ryu: Yamakiri! (Mountain Cutter)" Musashi yelled as he drew his wakizashi underhand. The blade slid from the sheathe and out of Musashi's hand directly at Naruto's heart with a speed faster than any arrow or kunai.
I can't dodge and we agreed to not use chakra so I can't avoid with a Hiraishin. Here goes that new technique, Naruto thought to himself before he stepped forward with his right foot and placed his hands to his black hakama.
Naruto quickly drew both Shusui and Wado Ichimonji from their sheathes with as much force as possible. "Nitoryu Iai: Rashomon!"
Both of his blades intercepted the flying wakizashi and deflected it off course however Musashi moved forward in a burst of speed during Naruto's brief distraction. He instantly placed his katana against Naruto's chest and Naruto knew it was over.
"Dammit" Naruto mumbled as Musashi sheathed both of his blades.
Musashi placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder and smiled like a father would to his son. "You're doing very well. By the time you're my age, you'll be the greatest swordsman in the world"
Naruto gave a small chuckle at the thought. "That's because you'll have stopped fighting"
"I have no doubt Naruto-kun, that you will one day surpass me" Musashi said with a proud smile. Naruto was about to say something when an young boy ran inside.
"Miyamoto-dono, Senju-sama, the other kage have arrived." The boy said while bowing very low and making sure not to look Naruto or Musashi in the eyes.
Musashi nodded. "Thank you Kenichi-kun, we will be ready soon"
Kenichi stood up and ran out the door, eager to get away from the two terrifying warriors before he accidentally offended either of them. Naruto and Musashi looked at each before bowing and walking off to get their clothes.
Naruto walked into the room in full armor, walking right behind his father while Madara was to Hashirama's left and Tobirama was to his right.
Hashirama took a deep breath and folded his hands on the table before them.
"Good now that you are here we may begin" Hashirama said before gesturing to Kenichi who was standing at the doorway. Kenichi nodded hesitantly before opening the door and thus, unleashing the floodgates.
The first to walk in was a dark-skinned man, with prominent creases under his eyes and a mop of shaggy black hair, which partially obscured his forehead protector but Naruto knew it had the image of a cloud. His attire consisted of a cream-coloured coat with a high collar, a white forehead protector, zōri and a purple scarf around his neck.
The person behind him was a dark-skinned man with a broad, flat nose and dark eyes which had markings underneath them. He had shoulder-length, black hair which he wore in a peculiar style, along with a stylised beard which tapered off into a goatee. He also had sideburns which curved inwards, just underneath his eyes. He wore a long sleeved dark-coloured shirt which was opened to reveal a mesh-armour shirt underneath along with a scarf that hung around his neck, dark-coloured pants and a simple headband.
The third man was young, around Naruto's age and had dark skin and long blond hair. He wore only a pair of black pants with a red rope as a belt and a white vest that showed a chest much more muscular than Naruto's. But the thing that was the most interesting about him was his unusual eyes, which had green irides, dark sclerae and no pupils and a tattoo for the kanji for "Lightning" he had on his shoulder.
But the thing that distinguished the first man from the other two men was the yellow hat on his head with the kanji for "Lightning" on it.
Naruto looked at the doorway and extended his sensing range, pausing when he felt three kage level signatures.
The first to walk in was an old man with copious amounts of long, grey hair along with a long moustache and beard that merged into one all of which almost covered the entirety of his face. He had a scar that ran across his left eye, which was apparently blind. His teeth were sharp and triangular like that of a shark. He wore a simple beige kimono over a pair of black pants and on his head was a white hat with the kanji for "Water".
Behind him was a tall and slender man with long blonde hair combed back. He also had a triangular goatee, a thin moustache, no eyebrows, and very prominent lines at the sides of his mouth. He wore a pin-striped kimono held together by a black obi tied around his waist. Connected to his obi was a few bottles, almost as if they held water.
The man to the other side of the Mizukage was a tall man with darkened sclera, and long, black hair which was long enough to reach his back. He wore the standard Kirigakure attire complete with pinstriped arm and leg-guards over which he wore a sleeveless haori with ragged ends.
So we have the Raikage and the Mizukage. Now we're just missing the Tsuchikage and the Kazekage, Naruto thought to himself as he watched the Kages sit at the circular table, a special touch his father added to show that all the kages were equal. To Hashirama's right was the Raikage, to his left was the vacant seat of the Kazekage. To the left of the Kazekage was the Mizukage and to the right of the Raikage was the Tsuchikage.
Naruto stood to the left of his father while Tobirama stood to his father's left and Madara stood behind him, all of them on guard just in case.
The next kage was short and had a bristling moustache and long beard, both of which had dark highlights running through them alternately. He wore a simple beige kimono with a grey obi.
The man behind him had his entire body was covered by intricately wrapped bandages, with only his violet-coloured eyes and nose being visible, giving him an overall mummy-like appearance. He wore a black headband and a black pair of pants. He wore no shoes as his feet were wrapped as well. The only weapon on him were two swords on his back wrapped in bandages.
The last man was only a little bit older than Naruto, around seventeen and had brown hair along with dark brown and thick eyebrows. He wore black pants and a long sleeve black shirt with armor plating. But the thing that stood out the most to Naruto was his large nose that covered about half of the Iwa nin's face. But Naruto knew that like himself, he shouldn't underestimate him just because he was young. If his kage thought that he deserved a spot with the Kages and their bodyguards, then he was a threat to Naruto.
Finally the last Kage entered the room.
The last kage had spiky brown hair, black eyes and he wore a dark suit which ended in a mask which he generally used to cover his mouth. Covering his head was a green hat with the kanji for "Wind".
His older bodyguard was fair skinned and had an intricate green dragon tattoo on his bald head. He wore a dark-coloured kimono held close by a light-coloured sash over which he wore a plain, long-sleeved haori.
His second bodyguard was a fair skinned teenage girl around Naruto's age. She was short and had beautiful black hair that went down to her mid back. Her black eyes pierced into your soul. She was wearing a long black haori, a pair of tight black shorts with fishnet around her thighs and a pair of black shinobi sandals. But two things Naruto noticed made him very interested. The first was the large black gourd on her back. The other thing was the fact that her DD breasts were only wrapped in bandages and nothing else.
She's gorgeous…, Naruto thought to himself as he stared straight at the girl, barely blinking. As if by fate, she turned around to look straight at him with an apathetic . Onyx met Cerulean and the girl immediately turned away from him.
What happened?, Naruto asked himself. Was he too ugly for her or something?
Before he could tear himself anymore, his father began talking. "So would anyone like to begin?"
There was silence as no one made any move to begin.
Hashirama sighed. "I guess I'll start. My name is Hashirama Senju, Shodai Hokage of Konohagakure no Sato"
Madara sighed. "Madara Uchiha, Konohagakure no Sato"
"Tobirama Senju, Konohagakure no Sato" Tobirama said, stern faced.
"Naruto Senju, Konohagakure no Sato" Naruto said with a half wave.
Everyone in the room was thinking the same thing. Who is this boy? He was only fourteen or something but he had a chakra level higher than almost everyone in the room!
There was something else about the boy put them on guard. The Hokage seemed almost childish, the Uchiha confidence and the other Senju seriousness. But the boy was unreadable. He showed no emotion but wasn't making it was obvious he was hiding them.
No those were the eyes of a man who was analyzing everything and had you in checkmate before you even realized you were playing.
The Raikage sighed. "M Yotsuki, Shodai Raikage of Kumogakure no Sato"
"Q Yotsuki, Kumogakure no Sato" Said his older bodyguard, a stern expression on his face.
The boy Naruto's age nodded. "Z Yotsuki, Kumogakure no Sato"
Naruto took in the men. The Raikage was undoubtedly powerful and his partner was as well as he had kage level reserves himself. But the teenager intrigued me. He had kage level chakra and a strong lightning affinity. Not to mention the seal on his shoulder.
Yes, the tattoo was a intricately made seal. The seal master within Naruto instantly recognized the technique of disguising a powerful seal as a design or a simple kanji. Naruto couldn't tell what the seal did and that's what made him nervous.
Naruto was the first to know that a simple tattoo could result in a S-Rank fire technique to the face.
"Byakuren Hozuki, Shodai Mizukage of Kirigakure no Sato" The old man with the lazy eye said with a monotone look.
The blonde man made a clicking noise with his tongue. "Gengetsu Hozuki, Kirigakure no Sato"
The man with the long black hair bowed his head respectively. "Kazuhiro Yuki, Kirigakure no Sato"
Not good. Two Hozuki's and a Yuki is a big threat, especially together. Madara had told him stories of Hozuki's making water dragons and a member of the Yuki clan instantly freezing it to create a thirty foot ice dragon that destroyed dozens. Not to mention the fact that Hozuki's could dodge any attack by turning their bodies to water and Yuki's could make ice as strong as steel.
"Ishikawa Kamizuru, Shodai Tsuchikage of Iwagakure no Sato" The old man with the weird beard and mustache said.
"Mu, Iwagakure no Sato" The mummy said in just above a whisper.
"Onoki, Iwagakure no Sato" The other teenager said proudly.
Naruto activated his sensing ability, all the while keeping a straight face so that no one noticed. Onoki had a very wild, almost immature chakra but as stubborn as stone and was at least jonin level. Mu's chakra was mysterious but the one thing Naruto could tell was that he could wield all five chakra natures and some other weird nature.
The Tsuchikage's chakra was powerful by itself but also filled with what seemed like thousands of tiny chakras that buzzed in harmony.
"Reto, Shodai Kazekage of Sunagakure no Sato" The Kazekage said as he stared at each kage and bodyguard with calculating eyes.
The bald man grunted. "Shamon Monzaemon Chikamatsu, Sunagakure no Sato"
"Ai, Sunagakure no Sato" The girl said, her voice quiet and stern but melodious.
Naruto raised an eyebrow. Love?
That was a big problem. Everyone knew who Monzaemon Chikamatsu was. The man who invented the deadly Kugutsu no Jutsu (Puppet Technique) and was a master of his technique to the point he could take down entire castles. Not to mention the fact that he was the only puppeteer to be able to use more than ten puppets.
Naruto looked at the middle of the table where all five kage hats met at a point. Never had so many dangerous individuals meet and not immediately begin to battle.
"I would like to begin this meeting by saying...I AM NOT WORTHY!" Hashirama yelled before bowing so deeply he almost slammed his head onto the table.
His three bodyguards simultaneously groaned. "Tou-san.../Hashi-baka.../Niisan…"
"Bowing to other kage isn't a sign of lasting leader, yo" The Raikage said before crossing his arms.
Byakuren nodded. "I must agree with A-san, lift your head Hashirama-san"
Hashirama lifted his head and held back tears. "I'm just so honored to be before my fellow kages who have managed to stop the fighting within their own villages and stop as much bloodshed as possible"
"So why have you called us here Hashirama-san, I doubt it was just for casual conversation" Reto pointed out.
"I would like to devise a temporary agreement between the five great shinobi nations to preserve peace" Hashirama said with confidence.
Naruto watched each of the Kages closely.
M frowned at the thought but nodded in agreement.
Byakuren stroked his beard in thought.
Reto gave a nod.
Ishikawa gave a chuckle and crossed his arms. "Hmmm…Why would we do this? Iwagakure could easily destroy any other village if necessary"
Reto frowned and slammed a hand on the table. "Would you like to test that theory? Because my Suna nin will paint the battlefield red with you rockheads!"
Hashirama sighed. "Please! We are trying to avoid war and meaningless death!"
There was silence when Hashirama decided to play his trump card. "As offerings of peace, I offer the Bijuu"
Something inside of Naruto broke as soon as his father said the name.
"HOW DARE THAT TREE HUGGER!" The Kyuubi yelled as it flared it's chakra, causing Naruto's eyes to momentarily flash red and for his pupils to become slits.
"Bijuu?" A asked.
"The Bijuu are nine giant lifeforms made of chakra that each have special abilities. Each are strong enough to destroy mountains and have enough chakra to supply an army" Hashirama said hesitantly, being careful to avoid eye contact with his son who he knew felt strongly about the topic.
"And you are just going to offer them to us? To possibly use as weapons?" Byakuren asked.
"Weapons.../Weapons…" Naruto and the Kyuubi growled internally.
"No to promote equality. If each village had at least one bijuu, we will all be equal" Hashirama argued.
Reto folded his hands before him. "Suna already owns a Bijuu and instead we wish for a peace of Hi no Ishi land and three0% of what each village will pay for a bijuu"
Chakra burst from the other three kage's bodies.
"Absolutely not!" A yelled as his body began to crackle with lightning.
"How dare you!" Ishikawa yelled, buzzing begin to become audible.
"Do you want war? Because Kiri will give you war!" Byakuren yelled, his hand turning to water.
Naruto slammed his hand on the table cracking it, his own kage level chakra spiking. "This is exactly what my father was trying to avoid!"
There was silence so Naruto continued. "Each of you have lived during times of wars. Each of you have seen death, maybe even some of your family"
Each of the Kages and some of the bodyguards nodded sadly.
"Now you are in a position to fix things, even if only temporary but still! You have a chance to save children from the horrors of war but you threaten each other with a drop of a hat. You are all so powerful you don't realize that Genin, Chunin and Jonon are not as strong as you! They won't survive battles as easily!" Naruto yelled.
"So why waste the opportunity to save lives! Remember you have to look out for your village and the children of the future" Naruto said sadly.
No one said anything. A and Reto nodded their heads slowly, Byakuren smiled slightly while Ishikawa stroke his beard in thought.
"Very well, I will sign this agreement and accept this bijuu as you call it" Ishikawa said.
"As will I" Byakuren agreed.
"Yo, I will sign" A said while crossing his arms.
"I as well" Reto said.
Hashirama looked at his son with a hint of awe before turning back to the table and nodded. "Thank you"
After discussing for about another hour on trading routes and the like, the Kages all filed out of the room. Each of the Kages shook hands before they left but not before all of them insisted on shaking Naruto's hand.
Naruto met Z, who was the son of M and the two teenagers gave each other a stern nod before they shook each other's hand. Unfortunately for Naruto, almost all of his fingers were crushed when they did.
Naruto also met Onoki and the two ninjas almost got into a fight when Onoki asked Mu if they could get teriyaki as it was the greatest food ever. Of course, Naruto disagreed and the two got into a minor disagreement. After Onoki insulted Naruto's whiskers and Naruto made fun of Onoki's nose, Mu and Tobirama were forced to separate the two before they came to blows.
Finally Naruto met Ai and that girl was just...wow. Most of the girls in Konoha weren't Naruto's type (read as Mito did not approve) but Ai was beautiful in every way. She was gorgeous, mysterious and most of all, powerful enough to take care of herself. She refused to make eye contact with Naruto most of the time so that Naruto couldn't see the light blush on her face.
The only other time azure blue met onyx was at the very end when Ai blew Naruto a small kiss before she ran out the building to meet her kage.
Everything was going well until Ishikawa commented to Hashirama that he would "like one of the more powerful Bijuu" as he walked out the door.
Finally, only Hashirama and his bodyguards were left in the room and Hashirama was practically sweating. Despite all of the things that had happened in between, Naruto was not happy and was subconsciously radiating KI.
Hashirama knew he had upset his son and that Naruto had inherited the signature Uzumaki rage. After all, the last time Naruto was enraged, Hashirama had to replant a majority of the trees around Konoha as they had all been set ablaze in white flames.
"Naruto…" Hashirama said but Naruto made no sign he heard him as he sharpened Shusui with a stone.
"Naruto" Hashirama said a little louder, a little more power in his voice. Once more Naruto did not respond, focusing on the condition of his blade.
Finally Hashirama was fed up and release his KI. "Naruto Senju-Uzumaki!"
"I will be in my room…" Naruto said as he stood up, sheathed his blade and began to walk out the door.
"No we will discuss this!" Hashirama yelled as he slammed his fist onto the table, striking right where Naruto had struck before. With a single strike, he shattered the table into two pieces despite the table being three inches thick and made of Mokuton wood.
Naruto whipped around, his eyes glowing crimson in the dark room and raditating just as much KI as his father. "Discuss what? That you have just given beings away! Like they were property!"
Tobirama stepped forward with his hands up in defense. "They have incredible pow-"
Chakra filled the room as Naruto spiked his chakra, cracking the walls with it's oppressive power. "SO DO WE!"
"Each of you have at least as much power as a bijuu and a conscious just like them! What if someone sealed you inside someone! So that your chakra could be taken and used as a weapon!" Naruto argued, his eyes still aglow. His eyes radiated more power than the sharingan and it was only the three shinobi's training that stopped them from flinching.
"This is different…" Madara argued with a frown.
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "How? Because they are animals? No they have a consciousness just like us! They care and hate just like us!"
Naruto continued. "These Kages agreed for now but they will not forever and you have given them power unlike any they have ever seen...The number of deaths in the future will be unimaginable!"
Hashirama stood up. "It is a risk we must take for peace…"
Naruto scoffed at the thought. "Konoha outlawed slavery as soon as it was founded but you are enslaving beings just because they have power and they aren't human?"
He turned around and his eyes reverted to their normal color although they were not their normal warm blue.
These were the ice blue eyes of a man who was tired and disappointed with life.
"Kawarama and Itama would be ashamed" Was the last thing he said before he disappeared in a flash.
Hashirama dropped to his knees and grabbed his chest. Madara and Tobirama each prepared to disappear in a Kamui and Hiraishin respectively but Hashirama stopped them.
"No leave him, he was right…they would be ashamed…" He said in a half whisper.
While in Naruto's room, The Kyuubi was thinking something different. "Perhaps he is the one father spoke of...perhaps…"
The four Konoha nin had just left the Kaidan (Summit) and were relishing in the warmer weather of Takigakure. The warm but moist air was a big and welcome change from the neverending blizzard of Tetsu no Kuni.
The tension between the four ninja was thick enough to be cut through by Yoru as Naruto had refused to talk to the rest of his party. Hashirama was in a stage of melancholy while Tobirama and Madara were trying to keep to themselves to prevent another argument.
The only sound that was audible was the dull clunking of their sandals striking the ground.
Step. Step. Step. Step. Ste-
"MOVE!" Naruto yelled as he drew Yoru from his back and sliced through five incoming shuriken. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Madara pull out his gunbai and block kunai coming for him and Hashirama.
Suddenly an odd sickle was thrown at Naruto, connected to its user by a steel chain. Naruto blocked the two bladed sickle with Yoru before following where the chain led to with a critical eye. He extended his range and felt four chakras, each at least jonin level.
"A leopard and three panthers!" Naruto yelled. It was Konoha code, a cub was a genin level chakra, a cheetah is a chunin level chakra, a leopard a jonin, a panther a kage and a lion a bijuu level chakra.
"I'll take the head panther, he's after me I'm sure" Hashirama said. All four ninja nodded and each jumped after one of the ninja, Naruto personally going after the one with the chain sickle.
He may have been mad at his father but NO ONE goes after his family!
WHAT'S GOOD MY LOVELY READERS! This chapter was sooooo annoying to write ohmygoodnesssss. There was some good to come with this chapter as we met Z, Onoki and of course, Ai.
Ok besides that, I would just like to point out that no, Naruto will not get the rinnegan. That would just screw up canon too much and the Rinnegan is way too OP and overdone.
Next chapter there is going to be four badass fights so until next time, I'm out. PEACE!
