Sorry for the long update. Been extremely busy the past few months. Also I should be releasing some other Naruto stories soon, crossovers and non-crossovers.

daniel 29- believe me there are A LOT more girls in the Naruto Universe that aren't in the harem

Also the Mizukage's name will remain Rose in this story just because I'm too lazy to change it.


After Naruto and Tsunami woke up from their nap they started making dinner. It was a quiet affair as Kakashi, Zabuza, Haku, Meizu, Gouzu and Hisame with their ninja training and Tazuna with years of being a father and grandfather could tell something happened between Naruto and Tsunami and if their smiles during dinner meant anything it was good. Night settled and Naruto asked the five to come into Tsunami's room as he needed to talk to them while he ordered the brothers to guard the house just incase.

When they came in Tsunami was sitting on the edge of the bed and after the door closed Naruto placed up a privacy seal. Kakashi raised an eyebrow at the secrecy and raised the other one when he saw Naruto sit next to Tsunami and he took her hand in his own.


Naruto looked at Tsunami and with a smile and nod from her he started. "As I'm sure you've all noticed Tsunami and I have been spending a lot of time together. Well over that time we slowly started to fall for each other to where we both knew we loved each other. After the battle on the bridge we took our relationship to the next level and we made love."

Haku and Hisame blushed at that and had a bit of drool from certain images of themselves and a certain lucky blonde. Tsunami blushed as she looked at her father's somewhat surprised face then at Kakashi's perverted face that was dealt with quickly by Tazuna.

"As you might have noticed during the week Tsunami has been feeling ill and after I put the symptoms together I ran a diagnostic test over her to confirm my suspicion." Naruto paused and with a wide smile from both of them he continued "We found out that we're going to have a baby."

Tazuna and Kakashi stood still for a second before both shouted "WHAT!!!" while Haku and surprisingly Hisame squealed. Zabuza chuckled and congratulated the expecting parents as well as the scene of the girls as they ran over to Tsunami and kept asking her questions that made her face redder and redder.

Naruto coughed to get their attention and all noticed the serious expression on his face. "Tazuna tell me who do you think I am. Since the first time you heard my name to when you saw me use some of my techniques to when the Demon Brothers called me "Heika."

Tazuna looked startled for a couple seconds but regained his composure. "When I first heard your name I thought I was hearing things. When the brothers called you "Heika" I started to reconsider. But when you disappeared with that lava technique I was even more positive of who you were as I had seen that before a long time ago."

He took a breath to calm his nerves and looked Naruto straight in the eyes "I don't know how but I believe you are truly an Uzumaki. The rulers of the former Whirlpool Kingdom where I, my late wife and our daughter lived before it was destroyed and I believe you already know this."

Kakashi was wide-eyed at this. The odds of meeting someone from Whirlpool outside of the Kingdom were astronomical.

Naruto smiled a small smile. "You are correct. My mother was from the Royal Family and she was able to escape that fateful night and fled to Konoha. There she grew up and met my father. Together they became famous during the Third Great Shinobi World War as Konoha's Yellow Flash and Konoha's Red Death. My father then later on became the Yondaime Hokage. My parents were Namikaze Minato the world's greatest shinobi and Namikaze Uzumaki Kushina, the princess of the former King and Queen of Whirlpool."

Tazuna processed the information before he blinked and asked "What do you mean former?"

Naruto sighed and said "Tell me Tazuna have you heard of the Bijuu?"

Tazuna nodded and said "I have. They are supposed to be the nine strongest demons in existence from the Ichibi no Shukaku to the Kyuubi no Kitsune."

Naruto nodded at that. Tsunami knew what was coming next and with a kiss on the cheek and tightening her hold on his hand he gave a grateful smile and spoke "That is correct. What many people don't know or don't mention is that many if not all of the Bijuu have been sealed away into either objects or into humans known as jinchūriki for whatever reason. About 15 ½ years ago Kyuubi was used to attack Konoha. She too was sealed but because she was the strongest no object or adult would be able to contain her power.

The only being would be a new-born baby. This is because its chakra coils, which are in every living thing and allow ninja to use our techniques, would be able to adapt over time to Kyuubi's power. My father knew this as well and after my mother agreed they induced the pregnancy and I was born.

However only half of the answer was there as they still needed a seal strong enough to contain Kyuubi's power. With one last goodbye my father headed to Kyuubi with me in his arms and summoned Shinigami to contain Kyuubi's soul and power within me that would cost him his life. He was able to do this but unfortunately right after the sealing he found out that my mother had died from complications from birth and realizing I would be alone his final wish was for me to be seen as a hero.

Unfortunately only a small handful agreed to this. For the first five years of my life it was hell. I won't go into what happened but on my fifth birthday I met the Kyuubi and she told me why she attacked. I also met my parents with help from Shinigami. For the next year I trained in the Namikaze estate in secret with Kyuubi's help then on my sixth birthday I left Konoha to continue training.

One of my destinations during my travels was Whirlpool Kingdom. After finding out the condition of the country I headed to the capital where I told the people to gather everyone in the Kingdom to the capital after they saw me open the gates to the Royal House. When they arrived I told them who I was and that I planned on restoring the Kingdom. That was five years ago and construction has already begun and once I reveal myself to the world in a few months the restorations shall commence quicker."

Tazuna was in awe at what he heard. To think his homeland was already being reconstructed when he thought it was lost forever was mind-blowing. "How do you plan on the reconstruction to quicken once the world knows who you are? Whirlpool Kingdom was destroyed by Iwa and Kumo before what makes you think it won't happen again?"

Naruto smirked as he anticipated that question "During my travels I encountered many powerful people including the Five Daimyos of the Five Great Shinobi Countries as well as the Daimyos of other lands. Each one has agreed to help me when I reveal my heritage. Also the Raikage that was in charge during the war is dead and has been replaced with one that happens to be an older brother of another jinchūriki. The only problem is the Tsuchikage as the same one is still in charge and he hates Konoha with a passion."

Tazuna was once again surprised as well as Hisame and Kakashi had a look of pride on his face. Naruto took a breath as he spoke again catching their attention. "This all leads to my primary reason for calling you up here Tazuna. You are indeed a Master Builder" here he chuckles at Tazuna's proud look while Tsunami giggles "and I ask for your help in the restoration of my Kingdom. With you in charge I know things will move quicker and more efficient than they are. Plus with you being the gifu (father-in-law) of a king and jiji of Tsunami and I first child as well as Inari you get certain special privileges."

Kakashi decided to add his two-cents "Plus with all the other of his wives around you'll have plenty to look at" he giggles perversely. Zabuza's starts to giggle as well when he realizes his daughter would be one of those women and quickly smacks Kakashi on the head.

Tazuna nods his head at that then stops dead on his tracks and sputters "wives?"

Naruto and surprisingly to Tazuna's shock Tsunami nod at that. "That is correct. Because I am the last of both my clans I am able to marry multiple women. I told Tsunami this at the beginning of our relationship and she agreed to share me after we spent time together. There are already other women I love in Konoha and other parts of the world who know this as well. In fact Haku-chan happens to be one of these women."

Tazuna just shakes his head at this while Kakashi started giggling uncontrollably when he remembered all the lovely women in Naruto's life and he'd be able to see them. Naruto got up and knocked Kakashi on the head "Onii-san please control your self. It's bad enough with Sandaime-jiji."

Tazuna raised an eyebrow at that. "You two are related?"

"Not by blood but he was one of my father's students when he was a sensei and he became a son to both of my parents. In fact after my birth they were going to make him an honorary member of the clan as a surprise but that didn't quite work out" Naruto stated.

Kakashi bolted up at that and with one visible wide-eye he said "Really?"

Naruto looked at him strangely and said "Yeah. Didn't I already tell you this?"

Kakashi deadpanned at that and responded "No."

Naruto chuckled nervously and scratched the back of his neck and said "Umm… surprise?"

Kakashi, Zabuza and Tazuna face-faulted at that while Tsunami and the other girls laughed.

"Well we'll take care of that when we return to Konoha. So Tazuna have you thought on my request?" Naruto asked.

Tazuna looked at his daughter then back to Naruto "What will happen with my family?"

"I'll take them with me back to Konoha as that is the safest place while Tsu-chan is pregnant. Also if Inari agrees to what I have to offer him it'll be the best place as well."

Tazuna asked what he meant and he told them what he told Tsunami. Tazuna was surprised at this and Kakashi remembered Minato offering him the same thing but he turned it down saying that he wished to regain his family honor back.

Tazuna took a couple minutes to think it over before he accepted. Naruto smiled and thanked him and said he'd take him, Inari and Tsunami back to Whirlpool. When Tazuna mentioned it'd be a long trip since they were civilians Naruto just chuckled with a gleam in his eyes. After chatting for a few more minutes and congratulating the expecting parents everyone went back to bed with Tsunami and Haku in Naruto's arms talking when to break the news to Inari.


The next morning after breakfast Tsunami and Naruto took Inari aside away from prying Uchiha ears and told him what they told the others only an edited version for children. He cried and hugged Naruto and called him "Otou-san" over and over. Naruto smiled and hugged him back as Tsunami hugged him as well. He agreed whole-heartedly for the procedure.

Luckily Naruto knew the procedure so he could perform it before they went to Whirlpool. Once gathering the supplies he needed and informing the others they'd be gone for a couple hours they left after Naruto grabbed Haku as well. With Inari in Haku's arms and Tsunami in Naruto's they traveled a couple miles to a safe distance and made sure they weren't followed or being watched.

Naruto had Tsunami and Haku turn around so Inari wouldn't be as embarrassed as he had to strip butt naked so Naruto could draw the seals on his body. When he was done he got up and said "This shouldn't hurt but you'll probably feel strange during the procedure."

With that said Naruto went through over 100 hand seals and called out Namikaze Hijutsu: Chishio no Ijou (Namikaze Secret Technique: Transfer of Blood). He watched as what looked like some type of seal left from his body and connected to Inari's that activated the seals on his body that formed a dome around the body blocking him from view. This went on for 5 minutes until it finally stopped. When the dome went down Naruto and the girls who had turned back around looked at the new Inari. He grew about three inches and his hair now had blonde streaks in it. His face looked a bit like Naruto as well. He was still out so they couldn't see his eyes.

Naruto took out a blanket and wrapped it around Inari. He picked him up and looked at Tsunami and gave her a reassuring look. "He'll probably need some new clothes. For now he'll probably still fit his old clothes if a bit tightly but when we get to Whirlpool we'll let him see if there are any clothes in the Royal House that he likes. No point of letting them not be of use. The same goes for you two."

Tsunami and Haku nodded at him as they watched him place Inari on a futon as he pulled out two more to make one big one. They got the idea as they saw him lay down and they joined him as well.

"Naru-koi I was wondering how you planned to get us to Whirlpool as I'm assuming by that look in your eye we won't be traveling at a civilian's pace" Tsunami questioned.

Naruto chuckled as he replied "That koi is a secret and no asking Haku-chan because I'm sure she figured it out. Would I be correct in that assumption Haku-koi?"

Haku blushed under his playful glare but then grinned "Only if I become your next mate koishii."

Naruto blinked and blinked again before replying "Are you sure Haku? I don't want you to feel pressured into that."

Haku nodded and replied "Hai I'm sure. I love you Naru-kun and I want you to be my first and only."

Naruto smiled at her and gave her a kiss on the lips. They were broken from their kiss by a cough. Looking to his other side Naruto and Haku looked at a blushing Tsunami.

"Sorry 'bout that Tsu-chan" Naruto said.

"No no it's not that. I was just thinking that technically you'd be her first twice" Tsunami replied with Haku looking confused and Naruto as well until he realized what she meant.

"Ah yes I forgot about that. You see Haku-chan after I marked Tsunami we found out her hymen came back. I think it has to do with the demonic part of the bloodline as humans and demons view sex differently. Demons only mate with one other person of the opposite sex so both are virgins when they find their mate. Kyuu-hime was my first and I was her first as well" Naruto said thinking back to that night.

'And what a night it was and the following morning. Which reminds me Naru-kun you haven't visited me in awhile' a certain red-haired vixen thought back making Naruto blush then sad as he realized she was right.

'I'm sorry Kyuu-hime. Things have just been so hectic. I promise that I'll visit tonight. I love you' he thought back.

'I love you too Naru-kun' Kyuubi thought back.

When he focused attention on the two in front of him again they were looking at him. He sighed and explained "I'm sorry. I was talking to Kyuubi. I have been neglecting her since we've arrived in Wave and I promised her I'd visit her tonight when we go to bed."

Tsunami and Haku made an "o" face at that and Tsunami felt a little bad about taking so much attention from Naruto's first love. Naruto noticed this and put a stop to it "Tsunami" he said getting her attention "Don't feel bad. Our time here was limited and I think that's why Kyuubi has been as patient as she has as she realized that I had the rest of my life with her so she let us spend as much time together as we could and now you've become another woman that I love and a mother of two of my children."

She smiled at that and had a few tears as she realized how easily he accepted Inari as his own even before the change. She kissed him and they broke apart then he turned back to Haku.

"I promise you that you'll become my next mate. Would it be alright if we wait till we arrive in Whirlpool then we can have some privacy?"

Haku nodded at that and all three were startled when they heard a groan. They looked over to see Inari starting to wake.

Naruto walked over to Inari and kneeled on one side of him while Tsunami kneeled on the other side with Haku behind his head. When Inari finally opened his eyes they were no longer the dark black eyes like his mother and grandfather but a darker shade of the blue eyes like his new father.

Naruto grinned down at him while Tsunami and Haku smiled at him. "So sochi how you feeling?" Naruto asked.

Inari blinked a few times before looking towards Nar- his Otou-san. He grinned a familiar grin and replied "I feel awesome Otou-san. I actually feel a little bit stronger."

Naruto smiled at him and ruffled his hair. "That's good to hear. Now how 'bout you give your Okaa-san and Oba-san (Aunt) a hug."

Inari looked around him and spotted his Okaa-san and his new Oba-san. 'If I understood what they told me Otou-san gets to marry more girls which means…. I got more presents' he cackled in his mind. After giving his Okaa-san and Haku Oba-san a hug he got redressed in his clothes that were tight but not too tight so they could wait as planned.

Tsunami and Haku talked as they watched Naruto let Inari get use to his new body. He found walking a bit difficult as his steps were longer than usual and he stumbled a few times. Then Naruto had Inari do a few exercises to stretch his body. Since Inari wanted to be a shinobi as well, Naruto decided to begin his training as he'd be a few months behind in the academy.

'Getting the standards changed is definitely on my "to do" list' he thought.


It was about noon when they headed back to the house. Kakashi was reading his book while he had Sakura and Sasuke running up and down the trees to increase their chakra reserves and to maintain their control. Sai was on the roof and appeared to be drawing.

'I still need to talk to him' Naruto reminded himself.

Zabuza was teaching Hisame and the Demon Brothers some more Suiton jutsus since Naruto had silently requested it. He caught the Uchiha activating his Sharingan trying to copy the jutsus but he already placed the seals that negated that annoying ability on all of his people including Kakashi and after convincing Hisame that Haku didn't have the skills to do it she let him. It wasn't easy as even though she could tell he was concentrating on drawing the seals she'd catch a slight tinge on his cheeks which would make her blush even more.

As for Tazuna… well he was on the porch drinking some leftover Kiri sake and… reading a familiar orange book. Naruto snapped his head over in Kakashi's direction and yup there it was. He sighed and ignored it. 'Doesn't mean Tsu-chan will though' he thought cackling evilly.

After watching his mate smack her father over the head for reading that in front of Inari even though Inari had been with them the entire time and trying to hold in his laughter but failing as he watched Kakashi cry at watching one of his books seem to magically catch on fire from Tsunami's glare at it the others finally noticed him and the others.

Of course Inari's change had most of them surprised and when asked what happened he replied "It's a secret" that had Sasuke and Sakura looking at Naruto who replied "What he said."

Sasuke could feel the power coming off of Inari. Even though he was still stronger Inari's chakra reserves had increased drastically (remember Namikazes are born with large chakra reserves) and Sasuke didn't like that one bit cause he knew Naruto had something to do with it. The fact that Inari's reserves were larger than his own at that age had nothing to do with it. Nope not one bit. *bullshit*

Before he could start his rant Haku had tossed a senbon paralyzing him. Surprisingly Sakura didn't yell at Haku about hurting her "Sasuke-kun." It could have been because she was too tired or was starting to see Sasuke as the gay-emo avenger we all know him to be but only time will tell.

Naruto looked at her and smiled and said "Working hard Sakura-san?"

She nodded and he replied "That's good. If you want to survive in this world you need to be strong. Do you know what you want to do in your kunoichi career?"

She shook her head and said "No. I… I've never really gave it any thought before" she paused and took a quick glance at Sasuke before looking back at Naruto "I don't know what I'd be good at. Back in the academy the teachers said I'd be good in Genjutsu but during our test Kakashi-sensei gave us I… I fainted when he used a D-rank Genjutsu on me."

Naruto sighed and surprised everyone when he sat in front of her. "Look Sakura I'm not going to lie. You and a majority of the girls from the academy are pathetic. You spent your entire time chasing the Uchiha when you should have been training. Being smart is a good thing but as you've seen it's not everything. You are not only the weakest female from the graduating class but the weakest of them all. Yamanaka Ino is slightly better than you because of her clan training. Hinata is actually the best female in the group; the only problem is her confidence.

What I'm truly disappointed about though is I heard you and Ino used to be best friends but you broke apart when you both decided to chase Sasuke. Friendship like that is rare in this world. It's okay to have a crush on somebody but to throw that away for someone who never says good things to you is stupid.

As for your future if you decide to become a true kunoichi perhaps you could study med-jutsu and become a medical-nin. You have the brains and the chakra control for it. All you need to do is make sure your heart is in it and train, train and train some more. The hospital is always willing to have more healers.

But if you're only in this for Sasuke then quit as soon as we get back to Konoha. If you remain the way you are and continue to be a kunoichi you will get yourself killed, your comrades killed or worse. I'm sure you remember what Gato had planned for you and the rest of the girls."

At that Sakura paled. Naruto got up and dusted himself off. He turned around and headed toward the house with Inari, Tsunami and Haku in tow. He left one last comment as he called from over his shoulder "Use this time to consider what you want to do with your life. Not what your parents want, not what Kakashi wants, not what Ino or anyone else wants. You must decide what YOU want."

As Kakashi watched Naruto head in with the others he sighed as he lifted the Uchiha and took a quick glance at his female student and hoped she took to heart what Naruto said and headed in as well.

Kakashi announced that they'd be leaving first thing in the morning back to Konoha. They all nodded at that and Naruto leaned over and whispered something in Tsunami's ear. She nodded and when she and Inari were done eating headed upstairs to get ready to pack. Tazuna soon joined them.

Night came and as promised Naruto visited Kyuubi when he was asleep and from a certain tent he must have been enjoying himself. He finally was able to get that talk with Sai as well.

FLASHBACK

Naruto had found Sai on top of the roof again as he was drawing. He took a seat next to him. There was silence for a few minutes before Naruto spoke up.

"Did you mean what you said when you introduced yourself to the others on top of the Hokage Monument?"

Sai stopped drawing and looked at him. "Yes."

Naruto nodded at that and said "Even your dislike of those that threaten Konoha?"

Sai once again responded with a "Yes."

"Even if that threat was Danzo?" Naruto responded.

Sai froze at that and looked at Naruto. "I know who you are Sai and who you work for. I know you're supposed to be one of his mindless soldiers without emotions. I know that he has you monitoring the Uchiha and should he prove a threat to Konoha, or more specifically, to HIS Konoha that you are to eliminate him.

I also know what happened to your brother Shin. That he died from a sudden disease. What you don't know is that it was Danzo who injected him with the disease. He saw how close you two were and Shin was becoming a problem for him. If you want to see the proof, meet me on top of the Fourth's head of the Hokage Monument in two weeks. I'll be there at noon till one everyday for a week.

You can tell Danzo this if you like but remember that Danzo's Root is starting to rot and I'll be coming soon to eradicate it."

FLASHBACK END


When the next day came Naruto and the others arrived at the finished bridge. The villagers thanked them, especially Naruto, and decided to call the bridge "The Great Naruto Bridge" which had Sasuke brooding. Sasuke and Sakura were wondering why Tazuna and his family were traveling with them while Sai was contemplating Naruto's offer.

When they stopped at Otafuku Gai Naruto informed Team 7 that he would be returning no more than a week later as he had personal things to do. He also wrote a letter for the Hokage and gave it to Kakashi to hand it to him when they reported in to let him know of Sasuke's actions during the mission, that he would be arriving at most a week later than Team 7 for personal reasons and that he had a surprise for him when he returned. After Kakashi promised not to reveal the surprise they separated.


After traveling for a few minutes Naruto lead them to an open field. He turned around to face the others with a smirk on his face. "Alright before we go any farther I need to ask you all a question. No matter how ridiculous it sounds I need you to answer it. Alright?"

Getting a nod from them all he continued. "Alright the question is this. If you could fly on a dragon or a phoenix which one would you pick?"

After everyone thought it over Zabuza, Tazuna, Inari and Gouzu picked dragon while Hisame, Tsunami, Haku and Meizu picked phoenix.

Smirking at their answers he rolls up his sleeves where they see a tattoo of a dragon and tortoise on his left arm and a phoenix on his right. Biting his thumbs and running blood over the dragon and phoenix tattoos he then slams his hands on the ground yelling outKuchiyose no Jutsu.

There were multiple "poofs" of smoke that followed. Those that knew what happened were anxious to see what would appear. When the smoke cleared everyone was awed at what they saw, except Naruto and Kyuubi of course who chuckled at their faces. For right in front of them were four dragons and four phoenixes each one at least three times the size of Zabuza.

"Everyone I'd like you to meet some of the summons of the Legendary Dragon and Phoenix Contracts. Summons I'd like you to meet my mate Tsunami, our son Inari, Tsunami's father Tazuna, my soon to be mate Haku, her father and one of my Knights Zabuza, our friend Hisame and the brothers Gouzu and Meizu" Naruto stated while pointing toward each person.

Each of the summons nodded at said person. "Alright now that the introductions are over everyone mount up. In the case of Tazuna and Inari I'll create a Kage Bunshin to ride with each of you so you don't fall off."

After everyone climbed on top of their summon he helped Tsunami on theirs and held her around the waist. He noticed Haku and Hisame looking at them and created Kage Bunshins for them as well. Haku happily accepted while Hisame was blushing up a storm at the close contact but she got comfortable fast leaning against him.

"Remember to use your chakra to stick to your summon. We should arrive in a little over two hours. Now onwards to Whirlpool!" Naruto shouted.

A chorus of "Hai Naruto-sama!" rang from the summons and they were off.


As they were flying he looked around him. He could see the excitement from Inari as his clone had to restrain him from leaning over too much, Haku and Hisame had snuggled up to their clone while looking around while Zabuza, the brothers and surprisingly Tazuna had each of their summons racing with each other. He was glad they were high enough so no one would notice all the noise those four were making.

He tightened his hold on Tsunami and rested his head on top of hers. "I love you" he whispered.

Tsunami smiled and snuggled further into his chest. "I love you too" she whispered back.


As expected they arrived at the borders of Whirlpool Kingdom in a little over two hours. Naruto was glad that the villages he saw weren't as bad as they were when he first saw them but they still had a ways to go to where they were before the fall of the Kingdom.

When they reached the capital Naruto had them circle around a few times so Tazuna could see what had been done and needed to be done. When they made their descent the people below finally saw them. There were some who had looks of fear as it wasn't everyday you see a group of dragons and phoenixes. But most of all each person was astonished at what they were seeing.

When Naruto and his group landed it was next to the Royal House. He thanked his summons and with their job done left back to their world. When the people got over their shock and saw who had arrived they cheered and started chanting "Naruto-sama" over and over.

Smiling Naruto rose up his hand to quiet the people. "My people it has been to long since I've returned. Unfortunately I will only be here for a few days but I have brought some very important people to me for you all to meet as they will be important in Whirlpool's future.

First off we have Gouzu and Meizu. They will help protect Whirlpool from any enemies that wish us harm. Next we have Zabuza. He is one of seven people who I have special plans for. These seven will be known as my Knights of Whirlpool and will become my top Generals right under the Royal Family. To my left is the lovely Hisame. She has become a good friend of mine recently and should she wish may stay here in Whirlpool.

Next to her is Haku. She is one of the loves of my life and shall become one of my Queens to help restore my family. The old man to the far right is Tazuna. He use to live here in Whirlpool and he has agreed to help me restore our Kingdom. He shall be the one in charge of all construction around the Kingdom. I have full faith in his abilities.

Finally the beautiful woman to my right is Tsunami the daughter of Tazuna and my first wife and Queen. She is also the mother of my eldest child Inari who is right in front of me and is also now carrying our next child."

Tsunami smiled as she leaned against Naruto's shoulder as she placed a hand on her stomach as he wrapped his arm around her waist.

The people were shocked at what they heard until they cheered again. One of them asked the question that was on the minds that knew how children came to be. "Ano Naruto-sama how is it possible for this boy to be your son? He looks to be no more than half your age." The others nodded their heads at that.

Naruto smiled and replied "That is because of a technique that I used on him from my father's clan. It is a secret technique that literally overwrites the DNA of the one it's being used on to the one that's using it. For Inari's case since I used it, it changed his original birth father's DNA to mine. So now he is both my and Tsunami's son. If a female were to have used it then he would be the son of the female using it and his original birth father."

The crowd was stunned at what they heard. It was hard to believe something like that existed. "If you wish to see proof we can have him unseal the lock to the Royal House. I was planning on doing that anyway" Naruto stated getting nods from them.

As they made their way toward the house the crowd got bigger and bigger as word spread fast that the King had arrived and with at least one Queen already and another one soon to be. Plus the fact that he had an 8 year old son and another child on the way made the capital the liveliest it's been in decades.

Once they arrived they watched as Naruto instructed Inari what to do. As Inari cut his finger with a kunai Naruto gave him he watched amazed as the cut healed right away. Quickly getting back to the situation he swiped the blood across the seal.

Just like when Naruto first did it the people where shocked as the gates unsealed themselves. They quickly got over it and started shouting "Koutaishi Inari" (Crown Prince Inari). Inari blushed at all the attention making Naruto chuckle. After applying everyone's blood that hadn't already to the seal he dismissed the crowd and told them he'd check in for reports tomorrow at noon.

Naruto created a few hundred Kage Bunshins to clean the outside and the inside. They quickly found some clothes for Inari as did Tsunami and Haku and giving the okay to Hisame as well she found some things as well.


Meanwhile while the girls and Inari were looking for clothes Naruto, Zabuza and Tazuna were in a meeting room. "So what do you think Tazuna? How long would you guess until reconstruction finished for the entire Kingdom?"

Tazuna looked over a map of the Kingdom that Naruto had and remembered everything he saw as they arrived. "Well at the current rate at least ten years. But if you get the help you're expecting when you announce your heritage then probably within three to five years."

Naruto nodded at that and was pleased with the answer. "You will also be building forts around the Kingdom. There will be seven main bases in key locations and several outposts as well. Right now our biggest threat is Iwa and if they ally themselves with Oto then that will make things much more difficult."

Tazuna and Zabuza nodded at that as they spent the next couple hours marking several locations for the bases and outposts. They'd head out later to check each location to make sure it was suitable.


During the next few days Naruto and the group helped out where they could. Naruto, Zabuza and Tazuna traveled across the Kingdom on summons to determine were to place the forts and outposts as well as the resources they had available. Inari was quite popular with the little girls and Haku and Tsunami were a little nervous of having the "sama" added to their name but were slowly getting use to it.

Also like promised Naruto had marked Haku as his next mate. They found out that her Hyoton techniques were at least twice as strong and she was able to pull water from the air more easily.

As Naruto had said during the introductions he offered Hisame sanctuary in Whirlpool but she said she'd still like to go with him to Konoha. He asked her why and she finally relented that she had taken a liking to him. He had admitted the same to her and with the okay from Tsunami and Haku they went on their first date that ended with their first kiss.

FLASHBACK

Naruto and Hisame had gone out for dinner. They were each dressed in regal looking clothes that caught the eyes of many passer buyers. They had a great time over dinner and when they were done headed back to the house. After walking her to her room Naruto leaned in and captured her lips. Hisame quickly responded to the kiss and after a few minutes they broke apart with her head on his chest.

Naruto looked down and lifted her chin up to give another but shorter kiss. "Goodnight Hisame-chan. I had a great time tonight. I hope we can to it again."

Hisame smiled and nodded. After pecking him on the lips she replied "Hai I had a wonderful time too. Good night Naruto-kun." With one last kiss she walked in her room and closed the door.

Naruto stayed still for a few seconds with a smile on his face before he headed to the master bedroom where he found Haku and Tsunami waiting up for him.

FLASHBACK END

Naruto had told Haku, Zabuza and the brothers that they'd be going back to Kiri so Zabuza could continue training his apprentice and to make sure each one of the new Kiri no Shinobigatana Nananin Shū were at least low-Jounin level before the Chuunin Exams.

Before they knew it seven days had passed and it was time to leave. After everyone said goodbye to the crowd and Tsunami and Inari hugged Tazuna Naruto summoned the dragons and phoenixes. With a hug and kiss to Haku he created a Kage Bunshin that rode with her and watched as they flew off toward Kiri.

Turning back to the now smaller group he created a Kage Bunshin for Tsunami and Inari as he decided he'd ride with Hisame. With one last glance toward his Kingdom he and the others left for Konoha.
