I own nothing! Signed Isom

Chapter 15: new mission and future ally

The newly promoted Chuunin and Minato ran through the village. They found the platoon of sound ninja being led by Kabuto on the eastern side of the village.

"So you are with the sand village," Naruto growled as he saw Kabuto.

"Yes I am," Kabuto said, "I came here as part of my masters plan to destroy the leaf village. Unfortunately you destroyed the information along with my master in the forest of death."

Naruto thought for a few minutes then realization hit him.

"Orochimaru?" he asked, "Orochimaru was your master?"

"He was," Kabuto growled, "and now we will avenge him."

The ninja from sound shot forward and attacked. They never had a chance. The team from sound that is. Between the power of Minato, Hinata, Naruto and the others the team form Oto was completely destroyed. Kabuto managed to last a while but eventually he was taken out too.

After the battle had died down and someone had gotten rid of the bodies. Minato went up to the prison to look into a few things. He asked his son to come with him because there was something only Naruto could do.

When they got there Minato requested to see a certain few prisoners. The warden guided him to the room with they were staying. As he entered he asked Naruto to stay outside. As he entered he saw the sound ninja five strapped down to different medical beds. Or in the case of a certain one on his side.

Kidomaru, the guy with multiple arms, noticed him first.

"Aaah! He's here to finish the job," he yelled in fear, "Quick someone throw me out the window!"

Minato shook his head and chuckled inwardly at Kidomaru's antics.

"Actually that's not why I'm here," Minato said causing the sound ninja to relax. "I'm actually here to extend an offer."

"And what might that be?" Jirobo, the big-boned man, asked.

"To join the leaf village." Minato answered.

The sound ninja were in shock. They had tried to destroy this guys village and he was asking them to join it? Insanity!

"What (cough) would you ask of us in return?" asked Kimmimaru. His voice was weak due to the disease that infected his lungs.

"Merely that you work with us and help us against our enemies," Minato answered. "I believe that I can get you guys the rank of Jounin."

"Why are you doing this?" Shukon, the silver guy asked.

"Yeah why?" Ukon, his brother that was growing out of his back asked as well. To be honest that guy kind of freaked him out.

"I see people who were taken by a man who used them for his own gain. I am merely offering you a chance to have your lives back."

They all seemed to think about that for a minute.

"Were in," Shukon said grinning.

"Although (cough, cough) I don't think I will be much use due to my sickness." Kimmimaru groaned.

Minato grinned. "I was wondering if you would bring that up. Naruto!"

Naruto came in and saw that sound ninja. He knew what his dad was doing because he had told him. He looked around until he saw Kimmimaru.

"That him?" Naruto asked.

Minato nodded.

Naruto walked up to Kimmimaru's bed, placed a hand on his chest and said, "Dark Healing Art: Purge of the Unnatural!"

Kimmimarua felt a surge through his lungs and he stopped breathing for a second. When he did start breathing again he noticed something.

"I-," he gasped, "I can breath."

The others looked at Naruto in shock. It was said that normal means of medicine wouldn't heal his disease. Apparently whoever said that had never met Naruto.

"So," Minato said after a few seconds of silence, "I'll see you in my office tomorrow to turn in your sound headbands and to get your leaf headbands."

With that said Minato grabbed his son and left. As he left though, Minato could have sworn he saw Tayuya wink at Naruto.

A few weeks later things had really changed. First of all the Sound Ninja were made Jounin except for Kin who had recovered in the hospital. She was made a genin and was put on Naruto's team as an extra member in case one was incapacitated or if they needed back up. Along with that Kin and Tayuya also pledged themselves to Naruto making them his fiancés as well. The other girls weren't so keen on it but after a while they warmed up to them. Eventually Itachi revealed himself and everyone was a little nervous when they found out he was back. Fortunately Minato explained the business behind the Uchiha massacre. Apparently the Uchiha clan was going to plan an uprising against the village and make slaves of the other clans especially the women. To say everyone was angry was an understatement. All of Sasuke's normal supporters in the civilian council turned their backs on him and everyone else looked at him with hate and disgust. He also lost his fan club including Sakura. She managed to develop a healthy interest in Gaara go figure. After she apologized for what she did to Naruto he happily forgave her. Now Sakura and Gaara are engaged because the Hokage found out about the sand village being part of the invasion force when Orochimaru died. They set up the marriage to get the relationship between the two villages good again.

At the moment Naruto was hanging out with his girls when an ANBU showed up saying that his father had asked to see him. Naruto had gotten used to this. Everyone had accepted that Naruto was Minato's son. Even Sasuke's former fan club was going toward him now.

"What's up pops?" Naruto asked as he entered his father's office.

"Naruto," Minato started, "I have a mission for you and your team."

Naruto grinned. Things were starting to get a little boring around here. The girls were nice but he really needed to see some action.

"There have been reports of a new city in one of western countries. You and your team are to go check things out." He handed Naruto a file. "This village is said to be made entirely of females and they don't have a very good outlook on the males of the outside world. You're going to have to be careful. Oh! And when you come back we'll finish your training."

Naruto nodded. He left, grabbed his team and explained the mission to them. They left within an hour.

"So how are we going to get there?" Kushina asked.

To answer her Naruto brought out Elyon's chakra and slammed his palm onto the ground.

"Dragon Summoning!"

There was a large burst of smoke. When it cleared they saw a massive dragon. It was large enough for all four of them to ride on. After they got on and took off Hinata let he curiosity get the better of her.

"How did you summon a dragon?" she asked

"As part of my deal with Elyon I can summon dragons. I also have a summoning contract with Kyuubi. They both are the bosses of each summoning contract." Naruto explained.

After a few hours they found the place they were looking for. The place was in the middle of a thick jungle. It was a large village that looked more like a fortress. It was surrounded by a high iron wall that had spikes at the top to prevent someone from climbing up and over. There were also towers that more than likely had archers at the top.

The ones in the towers were the ones who saw the dragon first. They sent a message via arrow to the ones on the ground who got ready. When the beast landed the ones on the ground got ready to fight. They were surprised when Ino, Kushina and Hinata got off the beast's back.

One of the female warriors walked forward to Kushina.

"Welcome ninja of the leaf," She said in a commanding tone, "we trust you got here without any trouble."

Kushina raised an eyebrow.

"How did you know we were coming?" she asked

"We were informed by a messenger hawk sent by your leader," The amazon replied.

The warrior woman examined the group. She seemed rather content with them until she laid her eyes on Naruto. The moment she did she became cross. She sent a burning glare at him that normally would make someone uneasy. She was shocked to find that he wasn't effected by it.

"You're not the first person to look at me like that lady," Naruto said looking at her with the same glare.

The woman scoffed, "Part of the deal was that only female ninja would come."

Kushina crossed her arms.

"The deal has changed," Kushina said crossing her arms, "Either you can let us all in or you can forget the deal."

The woman chucked and reached for her sword.

"And what," the woman asked, "is to keep me from slaying him on the spot right now?"

The next thing she knew Hinata had a lance at her throat, Kushina had a katana at her stomach, and Ino had a kunai pointed right between her eyes.

"Us," Kushina growled, "And the big guy over there."

The dragon growled and crossed its left front leg in front of Naruto.

"Fine," The woman growled, "Let them pass!"

The group walked past the guard until she stopped Kushina.

"And what of the beast," the guard asked.

As if to answer her question the dragon vanished in a puff of smoke.

Everyone of the amazons stared at this. Since they were separated from the rest of the world they didn't know about jutsu or any of the other ninja stuff.

"You get used to it," Kushina said noticing the shock on the women's faces.

The team went through the gates into the city. They saw that it looked very much like a normal village except everything was carved out of gray stone. Naruto noticed the cold glares he was receiving from the women but he just ignored them. After a few minutes of walking they were lead to a large temple. In it sat a woman in toga with fine jewelry and a tiara on her head of blond long hair. It was pretty obvious to everyone that she was the one in charge.

"Welcome females and man of the leaf village," the queen said. She said man with a bit of disgust.

'I wonder how they keep their numbers from decreasing?' Naruto thought.

'I think that falls under the category of 'Don't know and don't want to find out.'

Naruto thought about it a minute then inwardly shuddered.

The queen kept on talking about their home and why they didn't like men very much. Apparently they were from villages that only used women as toys or tools for their own pleasure. The queen noticed that Naruto's eyes flashed red when she mentioned it. After the speech on there culture the queen had them sent to their accommodations. On the way Naruto felt the same burning glares from the women but ignored them still.

'Man and I thought the people in my village used to hate me,' he thought.

When they arrived at the place they were staying Naruto couldn't help but let his jaw drop. The place was more like a mansion than a place for visitors. The woman that led them there showed them to their rooms.

"You should consider yourself lucky," she said as she left, glancing at Naruto, "Most men who come here don't get such pleasantries."

Naruto just ignored her tone and looked around the room. He saw that there wasn't a TV or a radio or anything else of he modern age. He guessed that would be the case since they were cut off from the world. He saw that there was more than one room to sleep. Apparently they didn't want him to touch his fiancées or his mother.

Naruto sighed.

'My time here is not going to be easy,' he thought.

Later on that night the girls slept in one room while Naruto slept in another. As he slept the window opened. In stepped a tall amazon. She had red hair tied up in a pony tail. Her eyes were a bright green that shined in the moonlight. She had on a pink toga and gold belt that had a sword on it along with a few throwing knives.

She looked at Naruto and scowled. She slowly made her way across the room as she hoped not to arouse him from his sleep. When she reached his bed she reached on to her belt and took out a throwing knife. She raised it high above her head and brought it down plunging it into Naruto's stomach. She grinned as she saw the knife delve deep but gasped when he burst into smoke. She looked around to see where he had gone.

"Hi there."

She turned to the voice just in time for Naruto the connect his fist with her jaw. She was sent back a little bit an clutched her jaw in pain.

'For a man he hits hard,' she thought.

She jumped out the window and jumped across the rooftops with Naruto hot on her heels. When they reached a certain location she spun around and whipped out her sword. Naruto didn't have either of his so she thought that this was going to be an easy fight. She charged at him swinging in a downward arc. She was surprised when Naruto dodged it easy. She swung again and again and again until she was out of breath. Naruto took advantage of her exhaustion and kicked her in in the face. She was sent sprawling across the rooftop. She was about to get up when Naruto started to go through hand signs. She raised her eyebrow in curiosity when he called out,

"Dark Style: Chains of the Abyss!"

The woman almost cried out in shock as chains came out from the shadows and wrapped around her pinning her to the ground. She looked up at Naruto who was smirking.

"Men," she spat, "Now I bet you plan on using me as do all of your kind."

Naruto walked up to her and to her surprise felt the chains leaver her. While she was still Naruto crouched down and looked into her eyes.

"Not all men are like that," he said as he winked at her.

With that said he left to go back to his room and sleep. The amazon he had spared looked on with a great deal of confusion. She was told that all men were scum who used women for their own purposes. She went to tell the queen. She knew she was going to be in trouble for waking her up this late but she had to tell her of this development. Of course if she wasn't in such deep thought she would have noticed a male figure jumping down from the wall and running into the jungle.

Later…

A group of ninja sat around a fire waiting for an informant. They were ninja from Kumo. They too had heard of an all female village and were sent to check it out. They had sent one ahead so they could evaluate the situation so they could take one to use in their bloodline breeding program like they tried to do to Hinata.

"Sir!"

They all turned to see the informant that had snuck into the city to spy on them.

"What news do you have?" the commander of the team asked.

"There is a village of women," the spy said, "They don't know of jutsu so we can take one easy."

The commander grinned at this. With them using jutsu they could take more than one.

"There is some other news," The spy said, "There is a team from Konoha there and they have a Hyuuga."

The commanders grin smiled grew even more. They might actually be able to get a Hyuuga out of this.

"But there is a complication," the spy continued, "The one called Naruto Uzumaki is there."

At this news the commander paled. Ever since his display of power at the chuunin exams Naruto had gained quite the reputation in the elemental countries. He was given the name 'The Beast of Konoha' because of his summoning contracts and how viciously he fought.

After the commander thought for a moment he got an idea.

"Yugito!" he yelled.

Yugito was a tall blonde headed girl about Naruto's age. She had on a kumo headband and she wore mostly blue.

"Naruto is here," he said to her, "When we get to the village you are to stop him from getting in the way. Even if it means your life."

Yugito only nodded. On the back of her neck was a seal that kept her from thinking on her own. She was forced to have it on her because the current Raikage only had her around until she was useless for the village and for his fantasies. After she "accepted" her orders she lay down to sleep.

In Yugito's mindscape…

A large cage sat in a dark room. In it something crouched and then rose up. A small light shown in revealing a pair of glinting green eyes. Three tails swished and swayed behind it. The beast looked out of it's cage. It felt a familiar presence. A feeling it had not had in year.

"Kyuubi," it said in a feminine voice. If it were light enough in the cave you would have seen it's fangs glint as it smiled.

So Yugito has made her appearance and Naruto is stuck in a village of women who want to gut him like a fish. Though with the woman he spared that could change. Yugito will make an appearance in the next chapter and let's just say "Welcome to the Jungle." See you!
