Unless stated otherwise it is in Akira's point of view
*I do not own naruto*
"What do you mean rebuild Uzu? I have never heard of any Uzu" naruto asked as we walked down the street toward the residential section of the city.
"Uzu no kuni… Uzushiogakure?" I replied turning my head to look at the still confused blond next to me
"Damn what the hell have they been teaching you in the academe? Ok kid time for a history lesion Uzushiogakure was a ninja village before konoha was even thought of. It was founded mostly by the Uzumaki clan. Uzu was widely known for their seal masters and swordsmen. In fact they were so well known and powerful that it took three of the great nations and a few lesser nations to destroy uzu but not before the people managed to get out and disappear. When that happened your mother had already moved here and her brother was visiting." I lectured
"Ok but why would you think I would know that?" Naruto asked
"Because not only is it your ancestry but Uzu helped build konoha and that red swirl on you back is the crest of the Uzumaki clan that the first hokage made the ninja wear after he married Mito Uzumaki. Now that is enough of the past for now. we are here" I said looking over a small white two story house "now where did I leave my keys" I asked myself while digging thought my pockets then in my bag "now I remember I left it in that bag I sealed in here" pulling out a scroll
"You coming or what?" naruto called over to me with the front door open.
"How did you do that?"
"I learned to pick locks and the door mat covered a small storage seal it held the keys and this" he held out a tri-pointed kunai knife. I shook my head and laughed to myself as I walked inside.
"Come on lets collect everything that isn't nailed down there should be some large sealing scrolls in here I said opening the door to the rather large study two see two scrolls sitting on the desk one with my name and one with naruto's pocketing the scrolls I thought 'we will go through these tomorrow but until then we got work to do'. Two hours later
"Well that's the last of it and it is a good thing I got tomorrow off" naruto sighed as we finished
"yeah now lets to my place and rest we got a lot to talk about tomarrow." I said picking up the three scrolls and walk to the door as naruto grabbed the last one and followed me out the door.
+next day+
"Food!" I yell from the kitchen only to get a grunt and the sound of movement from the other room as I set the two plates down and sit down and wait for the blonde to join me before eating. Taking a drink I turn to look at the four large sealing scrolls. 'It is kind of strange that it only took four large sealing scrolls to pack everything in that house.' I mused to myself as naruto quietly sat down and started eating.
"Tell me about them." I heard him almost demand "tell me about my parents."
"well where should I begin? You look a lot like your father he was usually calm but carefree to anyone that didn't know better but to those that did he was always thinking about something. He had a great since of humor. The only time I think I have seen him nervous was when he asked your mom on their first date. Your mom was beautiful." I said reaching in to my bag and pulled out a photo I took from the house last night and handed it to him. "Here see for yourself to say she was wild and crazy was a bit of an understatement pulling pranks all over town. She was a tomboy when she first moved here and it wasn't Intel your father saved her from a kidnapping attempt that she let her hair grow out and worrying about her looks a little bit. She had an addiction to ramen."
"So that's where that came from." Naruto mused out loud. We continued on as we finished eating
"Anyway I need to talk to you seriously now. Do you know what jinchuuriki are?" I asked and he shook his head "A jinchuuriki is a person that has a demon or mythical creature sealed in them. We are both jinchuuriki." I said with a sigh
"What do you mean I have something sealed in me?" Naruto asked immediately before thinking for a moment "You mean that all of those times I was called a demon and a monster they were right?"
"No you and the fox are two different beings. Think of it like this" I said picking up a glass of water "There is water in this glass dose that make the glass water? No they are two different things that are completely separate." I explained "ugh it would be simpler to explain this if you meet him."
"And how do you supposed to do that?" he asked
"Come on I will show you and I would advise being nice to him he is probably stuck in a small cage and being in there for 12 years would have anyone pissed off."
"You said fox you mean the Kyuubi that attacked the village when I was born? And if your jinchuuriki to what do you have in you?"
"You will meet him soon. Now come in, sit down, and meditate. The seals in this room will create a shared mindscape for jinchuuriki. And remember to behave." I said sitting on the floor across from him and began to meditate a few minuets latter I stood in a dark corridor next to the young blond. "Good you made it. Let's go" I said walking down the corridor to a large open field with mountain range behind it on one side while on the other the concrete wall continued out and up as far as the eye can see "Welcome to our currently shared mindscape now let's see whose home shall we?" as we continued down the path next to the wall we could hear a low growl up ahead. Finally we stood before a large gate with a sealing tag on it. Behind the bars stood a massive dark orange almost red nine tailed fox in a cage that was barely bigger than him.
"So my jailer finally visits me but who is this?" spoke the fox
"I am akira jinchuuriki of the last true dragon. It is an honor to meet you Kurama." I said with a small bow before turning around and greeting the being that large four legged reptile with massive wings. It was dark blue or black scales with silted predatory eyes watching everything around him.
"This is Drakon. Drakon this is Naruto and the nine tailed fox Kurama." I said introducing everyone
"Why is kurama in a cage and Drakon free?" naruto asked to this the dragon laughed and said
"Because it is the easiest representation of a sealed beast and if you want you can change it now kurama what is this I hear about you being a demon we all know for a fact you're not."
"Well I guess it is what happens when you drop off the map for close two one hundred and thirty years only to attack a village and be sealed again. I didn't want to attack the village but between me wanting to be free to go home and that genjustu that masked sharingan user." sighed the fox "but can you do me a favor Drakon?" but before the dragon could answer the scenery around the fox glowed white before transforming into a large open field with a forest behind it. The bars and seal tag then wrapped themselves around the fox's neck turning into a collar. The fox looked around bewildered then to the young jinchuuriki.
"Good job it looks real and the collar was a nice touch." I told the naruto patting him on the back. He just smiled at me and kurama.
"Do you like it fox?" Naruto asked
"Yes but why do you care about my comfort and happiness? Don't you blame me for all of the loneliness and abuse you have gotten because I was sealed in you and others see you as me?" asked the confused fox as Drakon and I sat back and watch the two.
"No they did it not you and from the sound of it you didn't want this either. So might as well at least be on good terms with each other." Naruto reasoned to this the fox chuckled and said
"You are smarter then most give you credit for you would surprise everyone if you would drop that mask of yours if only to a few people."
"Yeah"
"what was this favor you ask of us?" Drakon asked
"a short time after I was sealed I felt that my mate was nearby and then her presence suddenly vanished like she was sealed I ask that you find her for me I could only guess that she was sealed in someone slightly younger then the kit here." he said nudging naruto with a paw
"I have an idea on who it could be but I also felt something else when I entered the village." I said reassuring the fox.
"You said earlier that he is not a demon." Naruto stated then turned to the fox "if you don't mind me asking what are you?"
"I am not a demon I am the kitsune lord. I alone with the other nine tailed beasts were tasked by the sage of six paths and the gods to protect the balance of this world and help human kind stay on the right path."
"It is great to see you two getting along but I want to know now that you know the truth do you want to help me rebuild Uzu? Take your time and think about it oh and there is a scroll for you on the table I found it yesterday in your parents' house. Anyway I have a few things I need to get done today so I will see you guys later." I said as Drakon and I disappeared from the mind scape. As I left the room meditation room I went to the living room to sit and read the scroll with my name on it. Inside to scroll was two storage seals I unsealed the first one to see a scroll and read.
"Akira
I want to start off by asking you to take care of naruto I know that you wanted to travel more before or doing something that you'll be remembered for before settling down. I can't help but wonder what the reaper said when he said he owed you and to start paying him back he would allow us ten minuets to write to you and naruto. I remembered kushina Kenshin and you talking about rebuilding Uzushiogakure and that I found an order put down by the first hokage incase Uzu should fall. It calls for the complete restoration of Uzu. Ii find myself running out of time so I will finish this by saying Kushina and I are sorry and wish you both good luck.
Your brother
Minato Namikaze"
I sat there for a few minutes reading over the short letter. It was short and to the point but that was how we both preferred it. I let out a sigh and bottled up any lose emotions. I would deal with them latter but for now I needed to speak with the Hyuuga clan head and the Naara clan head.
To be continued …
Drakon means dragon in Greek (if my sources are right)
I might change certain aspects of several mythologies to fit in with what I want to do in the story
Also if some of my spelling is off then it is ether for a reason on I was cross referencing is a major headache.
I would also like to take this time to thank those that favorited and posted reviewed my story
