chapter 2; I am the Lord of Shadows.
As Naruto sat there reading the letter over and over, as he took in the details of the letter. from which he glanced to the mask and back to the letter. wondering how can a simple mask have so much power?
"well only one way to find out." he said as he lifted the mask to his face and took in the inscription on the mask.
'In darkness you see all, you hear all, for none can escape your sight.
the shadow is your friend, it will protect you from an enemy's sight.
may the shadows guide you and hide you.'
the kenji seem to glow a chilling blue before fading leaving no trace of any words or markings of anykind. as he placed the mask on his face he could feel it streach around his head, and then he saw darkness.
-mindscape-
as naruto stood in an endless void of darkness he could feel that someone was watching him, but the feeling was different then the feeling he was use to, what he felt was worry, shame, and sympathy.
"Naruto, look at you. you have grown soo much." came an old voice.
as he turned he saw the man, if what he saw counted as a man. he stood 6 foot 8 with crimson red skin, and snow white hair. the face looked just like the mask with out the tear mark under the left eye. he wore a long black robe with red highlights and gold accents. he had a sad proud smile at seeing naruto.
"W-who are you?" asked naruto with fear in his voice as he saw the demon before him.
"I am the Lord of all the Kage Oni Senshi, I am Tarakudo, your grandfather." he said with a smirk at seeing narutos fearful face turning to one of shock.
"so it is true i am a demon..." he said as he felt the life inside of him die.
"NO! You are NOT a demon... well only a fourth demon and a fourth of godly power aswell but that will come later. anyway do not think you are like me I am a pure blood, you are not, your mother was not. if anything she was more human then anything else." said Tarakudo as he bonked naruto on the head. "but listen Naruto, I maybe a demon long since my creation, but that does not mean i am heartless. for a devil may cry if his or her heart is broken like mine was, everyday as i watched how the villagers treated you, even if your father wished you to be seen as a hero. but you grew into a man worthy of both your father and mother, as well as the most worthy to lead my army of shadowkahn."
"yeah, you said something about nine tribes in the letter but i dont understand." this caused Tarakudo to chuckle with mirth.
"What that means is you have Nine different kinds of warriors to fight for you. think of them as how the ninja of this village works. you have Genin, Chunin, Jonin, Anbu, as well as one Senin level, and with you being the Kage of them."
"Umm Tarakudo-jiji, what are these tribes? I like the Idea of being Kage but i dont know a thing about them." this brought a smile to Tarakudo's face as he finally after 33 years of being sealed away being called something other then sama was refreshing.
"my boy, lets start with the Genin ranks of the tribes since their are two kinds; the Ninjetti and Leeches. the Ninjetti are like the old ninjas long before chakra was even used they are prefect for stealth, leaving nothing behind and making no sound what so ever. the Leeches are different these are the only ones that can change its ranking since they eat shadows of the living, the more they eat the stronger and deadlier they become... and bigger. the Chunin levels; are Kokujin and Kamakiri or Razor and Mantis. the fast of all nine tribes are the razor tribe, their fingers are sharp as any blade and their legs are like pikes. the Mantis tribe are just as deadly but not as fast as their brother clan. the next set are Jonin level, are the Bat and snake clans. the bat are capible of flight, and the snakes can extend their four limbs to great lengths. the Anbu level are Sumo and Scorpion clans. the sumo they are as their name suggest. big, really big, unstoppible strength and might, just a little clumsy, the scorpion clan have one claw and stinger on their arms their poison is both toxic and acidic. the last one a Senin level and your person body guards the samurai clan. they are the best kenjutsu speicalist to ever walk this earth. their shadow swords act as a hot knife through melting butter and will set fire to anything on fire."
he said as he took in naruto's awe inspired eyes that gleamed with untold amounts of joy.
"now Naruto, as soon as we are done here i will no longer be of this world for all my powers are now yours. now dont be upset, I will always be apart of you naruto. even in Makai; the shadow realm connects the two worlds together. and i will watch over you are your... can believe im gonna say this... Your guardian angel." he said as he shivered at saying that last part.
Naruto who was whipping his eyes to get rid of his tears to look at his grandfather, with a sad smile of his own.
"now to discuss the engagement that i have arrange with you, my boy." now Tarakudo to great pleasure of seeing Naruto's face change from the sad/happy look into the horrified look with his face going unnaturally pale. "Now listen Naru-chan, the woman you are marrying is not really human... she is a demoness."
this caused naruto to faint while standing up as his face was now so white it made a certent Snake Senin look like he had a trip to mexico for six months. after a few moments naruto started to wake up from his fainting spell, only to glare at his grandfather.
"Why would you do that!" he shouted.
"who did you think thoughs powers came from, hmmm?"
"oh..."
"dont worry they will be in their human forms so with wont be a demon hunt, also... due to the fact you have demon blood in you. you will be territorial with your mate... or mates."
"Mates, as in more then one?!"
"yes mates as in more then one you baka! like that blonde haired girl you met years ago from wind country, dont think i dont know you were smitten with her the moment you met her and her brothers."
this caused naruto to blush so red he made Tarakudo look pale by compairson.
"anyway your faince will be here in about a day or so just look for a girl with white-ish blue hair done in long braids, and she will also be traveling with her brothers and sister."
"her Name is?"
"Bai Tza. and becareful with her she has a temper... much like your grandmother...eeeeh." he said as he shivered at the memory of his wife glaring at him with the kyuubi like hair tails waving behind her, how Kushina learned that on her own he will never know. "also make sure that Shendu and Tchang Zu behave, the all-maker knows those two will fight like cats and dogs."
soon Tarakudo began to fade becoming transparent, as he picked naruto in a tight hug.
"dont forget the chant, it is the only way you will gain the full power of the mask so no one else will ever use it." he said as he stroked naruto's hair who has yet to let go, even as all that was left was his head and parts of his arms. "be strong Naruto, and always remember i will always be proud of you."
the last thing naruto saw as his grandfather left was the up-side-down U smile on is face along with the biggest toothy grin that was much like his own.
"goodbye grandpa..." naruto said as tried to keep back tears that started to flow form his eyes.
-back in the world.-
Naruto slowly pulled the maske from his face as a few tears fell from his eyes. but deep inside even with the pain of losing family he finally felt at peace knowing he had someone even though he only knew his grandfather for a short time, he was happy. this was cut short when his Sensei Iruka popped up behind him.
"Naruto! You Baka why did you steal the Forbidden Scroll?!" asked Iruka to his little brother figure.
"Oh, Mizuki said that if i took the scroll and learn one Jutsu and i can graduate with everyone else." he said with a wide grin as he quickly changed his behavior from letting anybody know how he felt, but deep inside he knew now that Mizuki was lying and it hurt him. what he was really worried about now is how Iruka will react.
"Naruto..." he said only to sense danger coming in fast as he pushed naruto out of the way as a fuma shuriken flew past them.
"Damnit Iruka, You made me miss." Said Mizuki with an insain grin plastard on his face.
"this was your idea?! why Mizuki, Why?!" demand Iruka as he took on a defencive stance.
"why? Hey Naruto! ever wonder why poeple Hate you? whispered behind your back? or glared at you?"
"Dont do it Mizuki Its Forbidden!"
"w-why?" Asked naruto as he played along.
"Because on Oct, 10th the day you were born, the Kyuubi was not defeated like everyone was told, Nooo, It was sealed into a baby, that baby was you, You Are The Kyuubi No Kitsune!" Mizuki roared with insain laughter.
as this happened Iruka took the time to tell naruto to run, which he did.
-skip to the iruka vs. Mizuki-
"Tell me iruka, why do you protect the very same demon that killed your family?"
"Your right, The demon did kill my family." this broke Naruto inside as he listened to Iruka. "But that was the Kyuubi, not Naruto!"
this brought joy to naruto knowing that his sensei didnt see him as the fox demon.
"enough of this i'll end you and the demon brat, then i will be praised as a hero!" Said Mizuki as he launched another fuma shuriken. only to see Naruto appear infront of the weapon stopping it cold.
"lay a hand on my sensei again..." the forest when silent as naruto stood there as he held the shuriken in his hand. "And I will Kill you."
"yeah you and what army?" Mizuki said in a mocking tone.
this caused Naruto to pull out his grandfather's mask.
"haha, a mask? really that is your big weapon?" not getting a reply as naruto placed the mask on his face.
then came a distorted voice, like echoes overlapping.
'Ancient powers near and far,
hear my summons from a far.
with my powers burning bright,
my shadows shall consume the light.
Rise from the darkness and prepare your sword.
and serve faithfully to your one and only lord.'
no sooner as he finished speaking, black tendrills sprang forth and began to wrap around naruto, who began to scream in pain but what shocked them was the eight orbs and twelve gem like stone that came out of the mouth of the mask. the orbs and gems began to circle around naruto who was still wraithing in pain, then the eight orbs fallowed by twelve gems hit naruto in his gut where the seal was. after that was done the mask started to fall apart and become dust.
Naruto just stood there looking calm and collective. then in the shadows of the forest one could see glowing red eyes that began to appear, first there was 4 sets then 20 then 80, so on and so forth until there was thousands of red eyes.
then standing beside naruto and iruka were eight of the samurai clan.
"this army Mizuki-teme, the Army of the Kage-Oni-Senshi!"
then screams of pain and aggony where heard in the village.
Iruka could not believe what he was seeing, the very shadows came alive, unlike the Nara clan these shadows were independent but only answered to naruto.
'great, if he wasnt unpredictible before, he is now. Kami-sama what did i do in a previous life to deserve this?' he thought as he realised he became the focus of the thousand members of the nine tribes. those red eyes were unnerving. "umm... hey?"
Now in hind sight this wasnt such a good idea since it might have came out threating. which lead the shadow warriors to attack.
"ENOUGH!" came the roaring order from naruto, no sooner was the order heard the nine tribes stopped and turned to naruto and took a knee or bowed deeply towards naruto. "Iruka-sensei is not to beharmed, am i understood?!"
it was as if they shared a single mind and body as they all nodded. that was when four Anbu appeared only for the Shadowkahn to form a defensive ring around naruto and Iruka.
"Uzumaki-san, the Hokage wishes to meet with you." said the Anbu with the Neko mask.
"Thank you, Neko-nee-san. Let race." He said as she melted into the shadows.
-Hokage Office.-
Sarutobi was watching all the events playing out from his desk as he looked at the crystal ball. only to see a dark vortex appearing in the middel of his office floor, his Anbu went on gaurd as they watched Naruto arose from the Pitch.
"hello Hokage-sama." Sarutobi whinced at the distain in which Naruto addressed him. "Care to tell me when you were planning to tell me, that it was my father that sealed the Fox with in my stomach?"
this caused Sarutobi to pale and sweat as he seen that naruto will not accept anything else but the truth. it pained him to know that his adopted grandson hated his father, and maybe himself from not protecting him as he should have.
"I was going to tell you when you reached Chunin." this didnt sit well with naruto as the shadows came alive, the Anbu were pinned to the walls, while an unknow ninja was literally pinned to the floor by a Razor with his hand in the shoulders of the unknown ninja. "Hokage-sama, we both know i would be lucky enough to even to become a Genin, that damnable civilian council would have my head on a pike if they could. since you lost all the power you had, My father and mother would be turning in their graves to see that their last wish unheeded. but my Grandfather Tarakudo-Jiji would tell me to rase Konoha to the ground and rebuild on its ashes. Besides right now i Have enough power with out the Kyuubi to go toe to toe with you and walk away like a Jonin would after fighting a Genin."
this caused the old Hokage to lean back in his chair as he took in the infomation that naruto has given him.
"I also found out, that I have the Soul Heir to the Uzumaki clan and the Namikaze, so i better get what is mine by the end of week which three days from now or prepare for the full wrath of the army of the Shadowkahn." Naruto said as his eyes turned full bloody red.
"Now listen Naruto, I am the Hokage and I will Not take Such disrespect from you." Sarutobi said as he leeked KI with each passing word.
"then start acting like the one I onced called Jiji and take back the power the Council has taken from you. If not their will be a 100 to 1 war in my favor if my demands are not met by this friday." said naruto as he turned and began to walk out the door.
"wait, You forgot this." said Sarutobi as he tossed a headband done in black with a golden plate on it with the Leaf done in emerald and the Uzushio done in ruby. "this was your mothers, it's yours now. be at the academy at 9:00 am tomorrow for team placement"
"thank you... Jiji, oh and I better not be on the Uchiha's team, I will not stand for his selfish behavior, when he demands for what is mine by birthright." he said as he shut the door.
-on the edge of the outskirts of Konoha.-
there apeared a flaming vortex, and out walked eight beings that ranged in height,
the first a slightly pale skinned man, with black hair done up in a noble ponytail. his sharp features on his face gave him a hansome and daring look, if one look at first glance one would think he was a hyuuga, but with ruby eyes. he wore noble robes in dark red and purple with golden lining. this was Tso Lan.
"well... this is unexpected, Not unwelcomed, but Unexpected." He said as he gave himself a once over taking in his new appearance.
"Speak for yourself, Brother. this is Humiliating." said a gravoling voice of the man to his left, he had dusty blue hair done up in spikes, he had pronouced chin and cheek bones. he stood the tallest, his face forever done in a look of distain, he wore a vest decorated with thunderclouds and lightning bolts. with his I-ching symbol stamped proudly in the center. this was Tchang Zu.
"hehe, I dont mind at all." came a girlish voice of a girl that stood an inch taller then the smallest of the group. her hair done in to piggytails, her face was slightly heartshaped but a little bit rounder then normal, her slim from was a stark contrast of her demon form, though she did not have the bust of her older sister, she was bigger then a certent pink Howlermonkey. she wore a long chinese dress in jade green with onyx black trim. this was Po Kong.
"sigh, Once again i have to be stuck in this fowl skin." said Xiao Fung in his human form that he had taken back when he first escaped the neather realm.
"well be glad that we are free, I know i am." Said a dark haired boy wearing a green sweater and brown jeans. this was Hsi Wu.
"be Glad you dont look like this, when i thought i was gonna be in human form this was not what i had in mind." said a man whit a sneer on his face who looked like the twin brother of Valmont, who was sporting a goatee, while wearing his robes that had hakama instead of the long dress look. this was Shendu.
"this is new, Dai Gui, doesnt like new things... but this place feels lovely the kand is full of chi and chakra. I like it here." said the man who is the tallest of the group with a hulk like body and dark brown hair, he wore knee high baggy shorts with an over coat the had a fur around the collar that gave a lion mane like look. he wore a simpe black muscle shirt underneathe. (AN: do i really have to say his name?)
"Let get to this Village, I wish to meet my Fiancee." said a tall woman in her late teens, with slightly tanned skin, her face was a perfect heart shape with white braided hair that framed her face, she wore a short dark blue and grey chinese dress, that had the window opening give a clean view of her generous busty D-cups. this was Bai Tza.
no sooner had she said that, a Ninjetti appeared before her kneeling with a scroll in his hand.
"uh, thank you kindly." said Bai as she took the scroll and saw that it had the mark of Tarakudo on it. when she opened it, she began to read.
'to Bai Tza of the Eight Elemental Demons.
this well message will give you a hint in giuding you to your fiancee, as for the hint. Remember the Prophecy of the Demon God.
from your future Grandfather-in-Law
Tarakudo.'
this made Bai tza blush while her brothers and sister laughed or chuckled at her reaction in reading the letter. then she looked at the Ninjetti that was kneeling before her. "which way his my husband?"
the Ninjetti didnt even looked at her and lifted his arm and pointed to the west to the exact location of his new master.
"thank you." she said as she and her brethren went off in said direction.
-next day at the academy.-
naruto appeared in the back of the classroom, while everyone didnt notice at first besides a pale eyed girl who blushed up a storm in seeing her crush who was wearing a black shinobi pants with a sleeveless jacket that was opened while he wore a blue under shirt at had the mark of tarakudo on it. he took his seat near the window only to realise that sasuke to took the seat beside him, knowing he did so because he did not want to sit beside any of his fangirls.
after a few moments, his peaceful morning was rudely put to an end when two of the worst fangirl barged into the room, Ino Yamanaka and Sakura Haruno.
"Move it Baka, I want to sit beside Sasuke-kun, Now Move!" yelled Sakura as she went to hit Naruto. but when her fist made contact nothing happend, she then saw that naruto held her fist in place by one finger, he sported a bored expression when he looked at her.
"now listen here, You vile, Good-for-Nothing, vain induced one-inch-pinch Uchiha fan whore!" he roared as KI flowed out with each word that left his mouth. "I will Not be disrespected by some Clanless bitch, and before you say im a clanless orphan. let me tell you something, the Uzumaki or the Uzu-makai as they were know by all; were The Greatest Clan know for the most fabled Sealing Art. I just found out that I am the Heir of said Clan and also learned that my Great Aunt was the First Hokage's wife. who helped Build Konoha. The reason the Uzumaki are no more is because in the second great war, they were distoried by three of the Major villages; Cloud, Rock, and Mist, along with three Minor Villages; Hotspring, Snow, and Haze. if you dont know what the match up was it was like this; 1.5 million against the 3, 000 Uzumaki, that was 500 enemy ninja against a single Uzumaki. after the attack that force of 1.5 million was reduced down to a pitiful force of 646 suriving members of the six shinobi villages. now and i also learned the reason why i couldnt do a simple bushin, it is because the Uzumaki have the chakra levels of a jonin or Anbu by the time they left the Academy, since i am the last Uzumaki my chakra is that of Senin, thus making me overload my bushins." as he said this everyone was in shock to hear that the deadlast hailed from a family strong enough to take on six shinobi villages as and reduce them by 99.994% was terrifying. the odds themselves were impossible, this also made the lone Uchiha jealous of his power which he thought should be his. "and I am the Son of Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze the Fourth Hokage."
this made everyone pale, that he was the son of the fourth and the deadlest Kunoichi. then the doors opened to show Iruka who just walked to his desk and looked at everyone, only to see instead of joyous faces he saw looks of fear. his hint as to why was from naruto who held Sakura by her neck in the air.
"Naruto, put Sakura down." he said with a sigh. "Now listen up when I will be calling out teams, and i will not repeat myself."
- skip teams 1-6 -
"Team Seven is Sai, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha. Your Jonin Sensei is Kakashi Hatake." he said as Sakura jumped up to yell her victory only to be silenced by the KI that naruto was leaking out.
"Team Eight, Hinata Hyuuga, Kiba Inuzuka, And Shino Aburame. Your Jonin Sensei is Kurenai Yuuhi." he said then said that team 9 was still in circulation. "Team ten, Ino Yamanaka, Chouji Akimichi, and Shikamaru Nara. Your Jonin is Asuma Sarutobi."
"HA! take that Baka you dont even have a team!" yelled sakura, who just received a glare from naruto.
"Actually Sakura, Due to False infomation that happened on Naruto's test he is actually the Rookie of the year, and he also is apprenticed under a Jonin how is Tso Lan; who happens to be Naruto's Future Brother-in-Law. they will be here by sometime this. until then Naruto will be with Team Seven until further notice."
"What the Baka is gonna be married?!"
"Yes, infact Naruto's Grandfather, who we all thought was dead, passed away just last night after he came here to deliver a message to the Hokage, it was his last will and testiment. Stating that Naruto-sama, Now is the Head of the Uzumaki and Namikaze Clans. and he also gave the Marrage contract. and turns out that Naruto-sama here has his inheirited Grandfather's army." now this did not sit well with the lone Uchiha who walked up to naruto.
"I demand that you hand over your army, Dope. since they will be better suited to an Elite like myself." said the Uchiha, while he thought of having an army to fight for him.
"cant do that you see, my Army is like a bloodline. it cant be taken away only given to someone of blood. if anyone else tried to rule my army... they will lose their minds and become part of my army." said Naruto as Sasuke held him by the collar of his shirt. No one besides Iruka and Shikamaru saw that the shadows were moving on their own. only for naruto to swat his hands away, "besides touch me like that again, and you will see how deadly my army can be."
once he said that one member of each tribe came forth. they one that caught everyone attention was the leech.
"How can that Little thing be deadly?" mocked Sakura.
"Kagenomu, drink up." naruto said to the leech that had golden 'V' unlike the rest of its clan to show it was the new general. which lead the cute little thing to jump from his shoulder and landed before sakura, soon as it landed it began drink sakura's shadow. which lead Sakura to slowly fall to the ground as she watched her shadow being eaten by the little thing that soon began to grow from the size of shotglass to the size of a small dog. the golden V turned out to be sharp golden teeth. "stop, give it back. She learned her lesson."
this earned a pitiuful whine from the small creature which sounded cute to the female students if it didnt look terrifying, before it spat out a black sluge on to the ground that soon became Sakura's shadow once again.
thats when the doors opened once again. and two Jonin walked in one was a tall man with a dark haired beard the other was a beautiful dark haired woman with red ruby eyes.
"Team ten with me." said Asuma as he left out the door with Ino, Shikamaru, and Chouji fallowing.
"Team Eight." said Kurenai as Hinata, Shino, and Kiba fallowed her out.
"You three can wait for kakashi, i will be going for something to eat, since he is known to belate by few hours, if it is not for a mission." said naruto as he melted into the shadow, only to appear outside on the roof to see kakashi reading his book. "you know Kakashi, My father would say you are a disappointment."
this got Kakashi to look over his book to naruto, as he saw naruto coming up from the shadow portal in the floor.
"pray tell, why would i be a disappointment?" asked Kakashi with a mild glare.
"because you havent forgiven yourself for something that was beyond your control. much like how being the vessal was beyond my control." said naruto as he went back into the shadow portal, leaving behind a shocked Kakashi.
-skip to team seven and naruto, on the roof.-
"Alright my Cute little genin... and Brat." he said as he gave a playful glare to naruto. "let us do an introducation shall we?"
"um, Sensei why dont you start off so we know what to do." said Sakura as everyone looked at her, including Sai who had a look of suprise at seeing the Rookie Kunoichi being stupid.
"alright... My name is Kakashi, my likes are of no concern to you, as well as my dislikes, my hobbies... well i have lots of hobbies. as for my dreams... well your not old enough to know them." Kakashi said as he watched his team give looks of confusion as Naruto just looked at him with a smirk.
"Now, You there the Artist of the group." he said with his eye smile.
"My name is Sai, my likes are painting and making new jutsus with my art. my dislikes are... none at the moment. my hobbies are the same as my likes and my dream is to protect konoha." said Sai with his creepy smile.
"good now you Pinky." kakashi said which caused sakura to glare at him.
"my Name is Sakura Haruno, my likes are... my dream is... my hobbies are..." she said as she giggles every few minutes and looking to Sasuke.
"And your dislikes?"
"Ino-Bunta and Naruto-Baka!" she yelled only to shrink back when only of the Leeches came up from the shadows.
"Sakura be quite will you?" naruto asked in a sickly sweet tone and beyond creepy smile which made everyone even sai shiver.
"next the emo."
"My Name is Sasuke Uchiha. i like nothing and i dislike everything. I have no hobbies. my dream... no my Ambition is to kill someone and restore my clan." said sasuke.
"finally the ray of sunshine."
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze Lord of the Kage Oni Senshi. My likes are training, my family, and ramen. my dislikes are traitors, liars, and idiots. my hobbies are training, learning new jutsus, and sealing. My dream is to become the greatest Hokage to ever live if not that, the ruler of Uzushio no Kuni."
"Um Naruto-san, Uzushio is lost to the tides of the very sea that is once resided in." said sai only to get a smirk from Naruto.
"but I am an Uzumaki, i can make the impossible; Possible."
as if to prove his point he lifted his hand up above his hand and the sky began to darken with dark thunder clouds, and a bolt of lightning struck his open hand. this made everyone a bit scared at seening naruto being struck but instead of an agonizing scream of pain there came a a dark chuckle from naruto. as he lowered his hand, which held what looked like to Kakashi was the chidori.
"o-ok, Listen up, tomorrow at 6 am we will have our genin test." said Kakashi.
"But Kakashi-sensei, we already did, didnt we?" sakura asked, this caused Naruto to laugh at her.
"and you call me the baka, Listen up that test was to weed out the weak to see who has what it takes to be a genin, this test how ever is to prove if you can be a genin. if you fail that would depend, you would either be sent back to the academy or be taking out of it based on Kakashi's final call if the team passes or not." said naruto as he stood up and walked to the edge of the building. then he walked off the edge, this caused Sakura to scream in fright, Kakashi and Sai to jolt forward, and Sasuke to smirk at the thought him falling to his death.
"Geeze can you scream any louder? i dont think Iwa heard you." said naruto as he floated in the air then Zipped off towards his family's estate, leaving behind the shocked team 7 and a seething Uchiha.
-unknow location-
we find the Demon family traveling toward Konoha, though the only ones the seem excited were Bai Tza and Tso Lan, the only one that seemed to enjoy the forest was Dai Gui since he could feel the power just flowing out from the trees. to him it was a sugar rush, being here in nature.
"Dai Gui likes this place... Its... peaceful." this caused the others to look at the most distructive demon of their family in shocked seeing as he was just in love with the place.
"hehe, Looks like Brother Dai Gui really likes it here." said Hsi Wu while he enjoy the clear skys since being the demon of the sky, he hated how the skys became poluted in smog or other toxins. but this place, was truly wonderful.
"tch, the faster we get there, the better off i will be." said Tchang Zu as he kept walking.
"Brother, I see you need to take in the joys of serenity. good for the heart i always say." said Tso Lan as he walked with his hands held infront of him with his sleeves covering them.
"i wonder if they have any good food." said Po Kong with a slight bit of drool coming form her mouth.
"I would like to see if they have any place of entertainment." said Xaio Fung as he scratched his big chin in thought.
"Sister Bai, what did the Message say about finding your Fiancee?" asked Shendu while trying to figure out something.
"it said dear brother, Remember the Prophecy of the Demon God. and for the life of me i can not remember that prophecy. You have always been one for learning Shendu, do you remember this Prophecy."
"only Bits and Pieces." said Shendu as he stroked his his goatee.
"As the Divine Warrior appeared in the sky with the roar of thunder, the sun was upon his head, as his feet were piltars of fire.
He was casted out from the Kingdom of Fire, by the great red eye dragon and his fallowers."
this caused the other seven to look at shendu, who had a look of confusion when they did so.
"What?"
"the Red Eyed Dragon, shendu."
"What does that have to- oh~, You would think i would do such a thing... again?" said shendu feeling insulted as the other look at each other and back to him and answered as one. "YES!"
"Look Just because im a red eyed dragon doesnt mean its me. besides my fallowers are his now. and the last i check i am the YOUNGEST OF US!" said shendu. "besides from what i could tell dear sister, is that your Faincee will be banished or go into self exile. there is more to the prophecy but i cant recall it at the moment."
"So how long until we reach this blasted village?" asked Tchang as he swatted a bug.
"I would say we will reach this village by morning." said Tso Lan as he was growing irriated by his elder brother's childish behavior.
with that the kept walking towards Konoha, Unaware that the bug that Tchang killed was one of a few bugs that were used but a featureless mask ninja hiding in the trees.
"Danzo-sama must be notifiedat once." said the ninja as he disappeared. without knowing he himself was being watched from the shadows by a pair of eyes in the shadows that made a hissing sound before fallowing after the unknown ninja.
-time skip to later that night-
Sarutobi has been having one hell of a day since, Naruto announced his heritage earlier that day, and the fact the Civilian Council Demanded a meeting this evening. he know started to reflect on why he took up the Hokage hat once again after retirement.
"I'm getting too old shit." he whispered to himself as he had to listen to the complaints of the honorible Civilian Council but to him he just had to listen to them bitch and bitch about thing not being in their favor.
"Order! Order!" he announced but no one could listen, well maybe the Shinobi Council.
"See Jiji, I told you that you have lost your power." said naruto in a whisper to the old man as he sat in the chair beside the Hokage ment for the Uzumaki clan which was why the Civilian Council were in an up roar. "So tell me Jiji, is this a democracy or a Dictatorship?"
with his peace said, Sarutobi felt that his pride as both a shinobi and the hokage wounded, that was when he finally had no more of the insults from anyone he was the hokage damnit!
"SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FUCKING PIECES OF HOWLING MONKEY SHIT!" he roared while adding KI into his voice making every single Civilian quite down. "good now that you all have finally shut your blasted traps we can finally start this meeting."
"Hokage-sama, It has come to our attention that the Dem- i mean Uzumaki-sama has come into some new prospects that could help the village." said Yoji of the representive of the clothing market district.
"Yes he has, but what he has gain, can only be used thanks to his bloodline he gain from his family." the old man had said while giving misinfomation to the man.
"Could you give us an example?" said Rika of the representive of the food market district.
"Only he could." he said as he turned to naruto. "Naruto my boy would you please?"
"sure, will everyone please meet at training ground 9." said naruto as he got up and left the room.
-training ground 9-
"Now listen up, I will not repeat myself. so if you miss anything i say it is your own damn fault." he said as he walked to the open area. "Now, i would like start off with the basics. I will start off with the simple stuff, so not to hurt your little minds with big words or lengthy explanations."
most of the shinobi council stiffled their laughter, at Hidden insult that Civilian Council members have took at as consideration on their part.
"Now i can use all five basic elements without hand seals." he said as he brought forth a ring of fire, wind, water, earth, and lightning, that seem to float around him. "as you can see this, is the basics of my bloodline. much like the Uchihas were they start of with a level one, two, then finally the third level. the same could be said about my bloodline."
soon pillars of blood red crystals, wood, Iron, silver, and gold began to sprout up the ground creating a platform and rose him into the air. "I also gained Sub-elements, as a level two."
but what came next shocked them, the skys began to darken with what seemed to be textureless clouds with lightning dancing around. and then it condenced into a black sphear which started to pull things into it as started to form a planetiod like object.
"I can controll the sky and gravity. the blacken sky was me making a Area Wide Genjutsu which will make my victims lose track of time and space. everything which took a minute to you was actually an hour from start to finish. the ball in the sky is my gravity manipulation. I could focus the gravity in one area to be either be increased or decreased by any factor i wish. mean i could make a pen with the weight of a gram. to be jump to the weight of let say a 1,000 grams or a kilogram, or make it as weightless with nothing more than a 1,000th of a microgram."
this made the Civilians' eyes become filed with greed at the thought of his sub-elemental powers, or that fact he could distory an enemy village into nothing more then a smokeing creator. they even thought of breeding a new batch of shinobis with his power could bring Konoha as not just a strong nation... but the Leader of a world empire.
"but let it beknow that I Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze will not be subjected to Konoha's Cland Restoration Act. but Instead the Uzushio's Clan Restoration Act, meaning my clan will not be used under Konoha's rule if anyone tries to force myself or any of my children or children's children will face Obliteration. Even now you may think i am but own but i am many." he said as the shadows came alive and began to rise up with all nine tribes rose up behind their master.
this caused everyone to go on guard incase of an attack, all but Shikaku Nara stepped forth and walked toward Naruto as he pulled out a kunai, many of the Civilian Council hoped that He would kill the demon. only to gasp in horror, as he slit his hand while making a fist letting the blood droplets fall to the ground.
"Milord, I wish- No My Clan wishes to rejoin the services of the Kage-Oni-Senshi once again before Lord Tarakudo's Departure." said Shikaku as he kneeled before Naruto.
"Nara-san, What on earth are you doing?!" yelled one of the Civilians.
"Rejoining the very same clan that gave us the ability to control the shadows. while we only can bend them some much. it is Uzumaki-Omo that can give them from and power. like what you see before you." he said with his head still bowed to Naruto. while the Ninjetti clan leader stepped up to Shikaku and reached out a helping hand which he took only to become the new leader.
then came Chouza, as he did the same as his friend.
"I Chouza Akimichi, plage on my blood and honor that i will once again serve the Kage-Oni-Senshi."
"I take it, the DaiKage or Large Shadow, has reminded you were your family's power came from?" said naruto as the Sumo clan leader stepped forth and stood infront of Chouza, like his friend the Sumo clan leader did the same letting him become the leader of said clan.
then came Inoichi Yamanaka, he stood before naruto doing the same as his friends,
"I, Inoichi Yamanaka. will serve the Master of my forefathers." said the Yamanaka clan head as the Bat clan leader landed infront of him doing the same as the other two clan leaders.
"What traitory is this?!" asked the civilian council and some of the shinobi council.
"It is not an act of treason, just fullfilling an oath long before we our clans came to Konoha. Our clans once served Lord Tarakudo King of the Kage-Oni, we were nothing but slaves to him, but unlike the slaves of now, We stood above that we had say in what happend though not much, he still offered us much and asked for little in return just our loyalty. to which we gave gladly." said Inoichi as he turned back to naruto and said in a submissive tone. "What is it you ask of us Milord?"
"Live how you did before, serve well and live well." said Naruto with a pleasent smile.
"Milord, I am Please to say the tales of your family and clan were true as the blood that flows in my vains." said Chouza and he looked to naruto with pride shining in his eyes.
"You honor me, Chouza. I hope said tales were not over exaggerated." he said.
"No Milord, one such tale was the tale of Tarakudo in his younger years, when he Slayen the thousand warriors of the Lin Kuei and Shinrai Ryu. warriors so skilled he gave them mercy and allowing then to join his growing army, the Kokujin and Scorpion clans." he said with a small grin on his face.
"thank you, Chouza. now that we are done here. let us retire for the night. I have a long day tomorrow." said naruto as he walked to the clearings edge, he then turned around. "until next time, i bid you goodnight."
with that he sunk into the shadows. leaving the members of both councils and the Hokage and his personal Anbu, in awe at his display of power and army.
-end-
until Next time.
