Kushina Uzumaki according to their leader is the strongest of all demons. Their marital lives are in the debt of Kushina. It was her who introduced them to their wives. They were currently wondering what Kushina would say about what they did to another demoness' son meaning Naruto.
Minato's watch that just came into view went off. He looked at it and said, "Well, it seems the ISC group wants to know what Kushina has to do with this? This watch here can read minds. It is a sweet gift I got for Christmas that I won't ever get to experience with my son with the addition of having to write his name off the death list because he can't die just yet. So I had to see him suffer every motherfucking Christmas. That is not the point. The point is that my wife and I cannot even see Naruto. As most of you do know, Kushina was a very loving and caring woman. Imagine her as a mother? Kushina Uzumaki the most beautiful woman in Konoha is the mother of Naruto Uzumaki. How much do you respect her -"
Minato was stopped by a poof of smoke. In front of him was an orange and black toad. Minato recognized the toad immediately as Gamatate. The toad said, "Minato-sama, I have a message from Jiraiya-sama. He says it pertains to your son. He says it is really important and that you must read it right away." Gamatate gave Minato Jiraiya's letter.
Minato responded, "Thank you Tate-chan, it has been too long. How about we catch up over some sake?"
The toad smiled as he said, "Will do Minato-sama!" with that he disappeared in a puff of smoke. Minato stopped his speech about Kushina and Naruto and opened up the letter. He started to read the message. With every sentence his eyes became wider. There was a deathly aura surrounding Minato as he finished the letter. He neatly folded the letter and put it in his pocket.
The shinobi have seen Death in the face. This is not a good look at all. The one who spoke was the extremely depressed Shikaku Nara. He said, "Yondaime-sama, do you mind telling us what the letter said?"
By that time Minato was walking out of the room. He stopped for a moment. He said, "No, I won't as you don't need to know. But I will say this, I just cleared some room on my extremely busy schedule for when he comes back!" with that Minato did a maniacal laugh and walked out the room. A shiver went through their spine. When the Shinigami laughs like that, that is a very, very bad omen.
Chapter Nine: The Demonic Elements and Meeting the Cursed One
Naruto was having that same dream again. The same dream that keeps coming after he gets hurt in some way. The funny thing is that it became more vivid as time went on. Naruto has found himself lying in what feels like a dark puddle. His eyes are closed. He opened them to see where he is. His eyes to see where he was but it was to no avail. He still cannot see anything. He did not know what left, right, up or down is. He was getting afraid. This time he was hearing voices. They were screaming his name in pain agony. He even recognized some of the voices that were screaming his name. He saw a white light. He believed it is an exit. He crawled to it begging to be released from this dark hell. He ran towards the light.
Naruto woke up in a cold sweat. He saw Jiraiya looking at him. Naruto closed his eyes as he was breathing hard. Naruto started to relax a bit as he was in familiar company. Jiraiya asked him, "Naruto, were you having a bad dream or something?"
Naruto looked at his sensei and said, "Yea. It is the same dream I've been having since I've met my ever loving Ojisan (uncle), Kami wanted to scuffle with my soul. It starts off with me having my eyes closed. Then I opened my eyes to see darkness all over. No matter which direction I turned it was total darkness. This time I heard voices of my friends as they screamed in agony. Then I see a white light. I crawled to the light then I woke up. Every time I wake up I feel that there is dark lingering feel around."
Jiraiya's eye widened a little bit. This was a big concern for Jiraiya. if this dream keeps coming back he might have to get Ino to check his psyche. This was definitely a cause for concern especially since he has had his soul ripped from him. Jiraiya lied, as he said, "It's probably nothing. I think we should forget all about it. Now get dressed, we have to worry about finding Tsunade. Plus I'm going to teach you how to use your youkai properly. I will teach you taijutsu, ninjutsu, fuinjutsu and if we have time I will teach you kenjutsu."
Naruto was a little eased by Jiraiya. Naruto nodded as he went to go take a shower. He came out about twenty minutes later and was ready to go. Jiraiya waited for him outside. Naruto said, "Jiraiya-sensei, I'm ready to go." Jiraiya nodded and they headed out.

Naruto and Jiraiya have been walking for about three days. Nothing has been eventful since Naruto turned into his demon form. Naruto asked Jiraiya, "Sensei, can you tell me about Tsunade?" Jiraiya stopped for a moment. Then he had a wide smile on his face.
He said, "Well it seems like Chibi Gami over here wants to know about Tsunade. Ok where to start she is a demigod. Her mother is Serenity Senju, the daughter of Mito and Hashirama Senju. Her father is Omoikane, the god of Wisdom. She was born with an extremely high I.Q. As she grew older her I.Q. grew. The problem was with wisdom comes age and experience. She was born old and she seemingly was not going to live a long time. Her life would be shorter than a shinobi's. When she was a seven year old with the full function of speaking she prayed to the goddess Kichijōten. She is the goddess of beauty and one of the Seven Lucky Gods.
The goddess came to the old, bed ridden Tsunade after hearing her plea. Tsunade pleaded with her to the point of begging for beauty and to have the image of the ones that are her age. The goddess agreed to it but it came at a price. Kichijoten was a woman who wanted everyone to be happy. She hated carnage and gore. She knew that Tsunade was extremely smart especially with herbs. So she told her to use the medicines and herbs to heal people and demons. if she ever used the herbs to kill a single soul there will be consequences.
Well she kept her promise during her Genin years. That all changed when she used cyanide to kill an Iwa ninja that tried to kill her little brother. Later on that night she was revisited by not one but the seven 'Lucky' gods. Because they were a brotherhood they all were there to watch the curse being put on her. Kichijoten made it so that she will never enjoy happiness with anyone. She will be infertile and baron. She will have her beauty dimished. She will be haunted by all her loved ones. She will watch her family and so called lover killed in front of her eyes. Kichijoten, as many of the gods is so sadistic that she made it so that when Tsunade will try to heal them nothing will work.
Then she made it so that her demigod status and abilities will be hindered for her to become a demon. They made her part slug. This will make her live longer to experience these punishments but also to make her stand still in a sense. She is not in control of her life the alcohol, that the Seven Lucky Gods keep spiking is. There is a way to break her out of this. She must give the person she loves the emerald necklace that she wears around her. Then that said person must not only accept it but that said person must survive the first fight that he is in while wearing it."
Naruto's eyes were wide. She was the granddaughter of the Shodai Hokage who he still has in his stomach by the way. She is the daughter of a demigod who was cursed because she protected her brother. This was extremely disturbing for Naruto. He asked Jiraiya, "How do you know so much about her?"
Jiraiya looked at the clouds as he said, "Well I was originally was a friend of the family. After all us toads were there when Konoha was created from the departure from Uzugakure."
Naruto nodded as that was sufficient enough for him. he asked another question. "Jiraiya-sensei, what happened to the lower gods?"
Jiraiya said, "Don't know. They just started to disappear over time. You could ask your dad that question."
As he walked with Jiraiya to this town called Tanzaku-gai he kept thinking about Tsunade's plight. How can a person live like that? He swore to himself that he will free her from her curse. He looked at sensei and said, "Sensei, can you teach me something? I want to learn how to use my youkai with my weapons."
Jiraiya said, "Chami (Chibi Gami), what kind of weapon do you want to use?"
Naruto said, "Well before I left, Asuma Sarutobi gave me these" He put some of his chakra on his hands. Suddenly 'poof', a grey smoke appeared. When the smoke cleared to trench knives were in hands. The left trench knife was red and black. The blade was crimson red. The knuckles were gold. The handle was black. The right trench knife was just as beautiful. The knife was royal blue with an Uzumaki swirl on it. The knuckles were gold and the rest is white. Jiraiya had to admit those blades were beautiful.
Jiraiya asked, " Naruto those are beautiful, but how about the other weapons in your possessions Souls Eater, Tsubaki, Patti and Liz? Are you going to just forget about them?"
Naruto's eyes narrowed. He never told Jiraiya about those three weapons. He asked him, "How do you know about them? I never said anything about them. How much do you really know?"
Jiraiya said, "I know everything about you. I have so many informants that were able to watch you. For example your change in attire. The reason you were 'able' to see the store was because I had an informant to unlock the genjutsu in front of it. You then met my other agent in Konoha Zaraki."
Naruto's eyes went a little wide at the name Zaraki. "You mean Zaraki, the tailor and owner of the ANBU shop?"
Jiraiya replied, "Yes, that Zaraki was one of the most powerful reapers to ever exist. He retired to help me and your father. He picked out for you some of the strongest and most flexible material to ever exist. He created your scythe with your blood and some of the most powerful alloy with so many seals to make it so that scythe could never be stolen or destroyed. The only thing that is difference that it has to Minato or Kid is that it has not fully awaken meaning it is inanimate.
But that is not the point Gaki. The four demonic weapons you have are quite possibly the strongest weapons to exist. I know you don't know their former meisters are but damn it don't treat them like they only have a small purpose. They are animate weapons who have feelings, a heart and a soul. They get hurt also. So tell me one good reason I should train you in weapons if you don't use the ones that you already have?"
Naruto took a deep breath. He sees Jiraiya's point. They are extremely strong weapons and look like great company to be with. It's just that he feels he's not ready. He says "I'm not ready to use them. When I used the forbidden technique I felt that I wasn't ready to use them in battle. I mean I need to learn the inanimate objects if I plan on using them. It is hard to explain."
Jiraiya said, "Alright Naruto, we are going to rest here in the grass then we will work on this tomorrow." Naruto barely heard his new sensei as his thoughts came right back to this Tsunade.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX The Next Day XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto was really starting to hate dreams. This dream was much different than any dream he has ever had in his life. He saw a young blond woman calling out to him. He didn't know who it was or where she was but she is in danger and needs him. He chuckle bitterly at the mere thought that someone needed him to save them.
He got up and dressed. He saw Jiraiya waiting for him. He knew that inside today will start his new adventure and new training. He couldn't wait to see what kind of training Jiraiya will have in store for him.
XXXXXXXXXXX An Hour Later XXXXXXXXXXX
Jiraiya took Naruto out into the grassy plains of Tankazu-Gai. He sat down in the hidden lotus position. He said Naruto, "Ok, Gami, tell me what are the five main elemental affinities?"
Naruto knew what they were. He said, "They are Katon, Raiton, Suiton, Futon, and Doton. Why do you ask?"
Jiraiya smiled as he said, "They are the basis for the demonic elements."
Naruto asked out loud, "Demonic Elements? What are Demonic Elements? What can they do? Why not use the regular elements?"
Jiraiya cut him off by saying, "The Demonic Elements are more specific than the others. What this means is that the elements are more of a foundation to them. To understand this concept you must understand what the elements really are. In the beginning these elements were simply a way to describe natural events. It is believed that everything began with the original three: Earth, Water and Wind.
Two of the three were bitter rivals. It was Wind and Earth. One was always up. The other was always down. They were fighting on whose nature was better the free flowing air or the strong down to earth, earth. It was then that a new element decided to separate from the wind. Due to water seemingly calm nature water became the medium of the two.
The water on the ground became oceans, rivers etc. Mainly it became a liquid. The water in the air became a vapor or also known as a gas. Although both parties had a medium of sorts the tension just grew over time. The Earth particles started to rise into the air. It caused a war between the two once again. The air combined together with the water vapor making clouds. The clouds along with the particles on the ground created an energy phenomenon to destroy the bottom up.
The energy phenomenon lit up the sky with a yellow and white lights. The concentrated energy charged beam hit the roaring water and a tree. It caused it to start something that changed the world. This unknown force was doing what the original two were doing but at a bigger scale.
The force creates a burning sensation on that tree. Due to the fact that it had some of the attributes of the elements, the essentially created another element. The element known as fire was able to destroy the other elements in their own nature.
The smoke from the fire was destroying the pure air in the sky. The fire itself was destroy the trees and other minor organisms in its way. When it finally destroyed the trees, plants, etc. It destroyed the soil making it so that it could not make any more life. Due to the lightning the water was somewhat paralyzed with all the lightning charged particles, it could not save them.
The original two elements were still stubborn to work together. This caused this powerful new element to keep destroying their nature. It was not until there medium known as water was starting to get eradicated till they had a meeting. The meeting caused the two to stop fighting so the will be able to defeat this powerful element.
The wind created a huge tornado to create a vortex in which it takes the oxygen out of the fire. The Earth created an earthquake to put dirt on the fire to cover it. It also created trenches in which the fire can go all the way down till it reached the water.
The Wind and Earth realized that they will never be able to find out who is stronger. The realize that one could not live without the other. They also realized the two other elements they created are now one of them. The two elements fire and lightning are like twins. Lightning is the older brother while fire is the younger brother. They hate the original three as they were the ones that ultimately defeated them. They one day vowed for revenge."
Naruto blinked at the story as it was interesting. He did although wanted to know what does this story have to do with anything. He asked, "Sensei, that's a nice tale and all but what does that have to do with my training?"
Jiraiya replied, "It has everything to deal with what you are trying to accomplish. You see the story tells you how the elemental cycle came to be. Fire defeats Wind. Wind defeats Earth. Earth defeats Lightning. Lightning defeats Water. Water defeats Fire. "
Naruto is confused about something. He asks, "Sensei, something is not making sense. You said that the wind was able to create a vortex in which the fire could not escape and died. If that is the case why is that fire defeats wind?"
Jiraiya loved the fact that his student is so observant about learning something that will help him in the future. He said, "You are correct about that. That is why the cycle is not correct. For example because Water vapor is naturally in the Wind, Wind can create a spark with enough charge to either create a lightning bolt or a blazing fire. Due to the ability to create such electricity that it opens up the sky. This causes the water to start to fall also know as rain. This phenomenon is known as the Ranton Element (Storm Release). To put it simply it is the Wind's demonic element."
Naruto's eyes were widened. The mere fact these phenomenon are consider elements are amazing. Naruto asked, "Sensei what are the other Demonic Elements?"
Jiraiya said, "Well you know Wind's Demonic form. Let's look at Fire. Fire takes the attributes of its brother, Lightning and the one it defeats in the elemental cycle, Wind. With the spark from Lightning and the spreading ability of the Wind it creates a new kind of fire. It is called the Enton Element (Blaze Release Element).
The Blaze Element is one of the most destructive elements to ever exist. The strongest form of the Enton was a gift from the very pissed off Amaterasu. It was an all powerful black fire that can burn for at least a week. The only thing that can actually able to beat it is Ranton.
Earth's has to deal with something totally different. The Earth's demonic form is the use of the mass and density of the world for its demonic form. It uses the attributes of the mass of the water with the heaviness or lightness of the Wind to form the Souton Element (Gravity Release).
The Gravity Release decides if the person is so heavy that the person can't move. The person can also become light as a feather making the person seem like they are walking on air. The ones that uses it can become stronger than most.
The peculiar one is Lightning's Demonic form. It uses the Wind's ability to concentrate and spark and the Earth's charges to create its new form. The Element is called Seiton (Energy Release). The reason it is peculiar is because of the fact it can use any type of the energy like carbs or taurine to destroy anything. It can make it so the carbs in a person's body implode practically killing them with out much effort.
Water is much different from the other four. Remember it is a medium of the two original elements, Wind and Earth. Let's start off at the air form. With the air's temperature mostly being cold, it changes the form of it. It can change it from gas to solid. Thus making it ice or known as Hyoton (Ice Release). You could use the Hyoton to make ice shards to kill your opponents.
The other form is the mixture of Earth's soil. The water combined with the soil creates something that Konoha was built upon. The Mokuton Element (Wood Release) is the demonic release of Water. It is more of a defensive form. It brings life to desolate lands. That is the gist of it"
Naruto was shocked about the Demonic Elements. He did have another question. "Sensei, What makes Demonic Elements well demonic?"
Jiraiya said, "Ah, good question. The reason the demonic elements are demonic once again goes back to the original elements. The original elements are pure element meaning it does not really go to the others' territory. The reason for this is simply because the element coincide with chakra.
Since this is the case then there has to be another source of power to have the attributes to get that form. Youkai has the ability to receive the elements' attributes resulting in these elements."
Jiraiya reached into his pocket. He pulled out a single piece of paper. He said, "Naruto, this is called chakra paper. This paper is important because this paper tells a person what their chakra attribute they have. The element attribute depends on the person's own attribute.
If a person is a free spirit, or the person can change direction of attack or defense, they have the wind element. If a person is destructive or has the ability to destroy life they are the fire element. If they are mentally and physically stable or think with common sense or have their values in check or conservative they are the Earth.
If they are a burst of life or they can stir or spark something in someone or they have a burst of power they are of the lightning element. If they are a caring person or a person who is calm who flows with the flow they are of the water element. This is the person's personality so if they really want to change they can but it is extremely hard to do so. Put your hand on the paper and put chakra in it."
Naruto nodded as he put his hand on the paper. He put his chakra on the paper. Originally the paper did nothing. Then it started to cut in half. Then it cut in half again. The piece of paper on the upper right hand corner burst into flames. The one on the upper left hand corner was soaked. The one on the lower left corner started to turn into dust. The one on the lower right hand corner started to crumble and static was heard.
This extremely surprised Jiraiya. For a person to have that many affinities is almost impossible. But what happened next almost gave Jiraiya a heart attack. The four pieces of paper came back together. When the pieces came together two colors became vastly clear, black and white.
The black side became glow as it grew tendrils. The white side started to glow a bright white. Naruto asked, "Sensei, what were the last two mean?"
Jiraiya knew exactly what that meant. He could not tell Naruto what those this meant without Naruto getting the biggest head in the whole world. Naruto would be acting like a god. He quickly lied and said, "Its nothing. It is actually the way the paper returns back into one piece."
Naruto gave him one calculating eye. He knew that he was not telling the truth about something but didn't pry on it as he believes Jiraiya has a reason for not telling him...yet. He shrugged his shoulders and worried about the other elements that he will be able to use.
He said to Jiraiya, "Sensei, it seems that Fuuton is my strongest affinity. Should I start to learn to harness to wind first or what?"
Jiraiya got over his shock with the last two affinities. He said, "That would be the smart thing to do. Your starting point for wind is to cut this" Jiraiya pulled out a leaf from his pocket. "You will levitate the leaf up. I want you to start now.
Naruto nodded and picked up his leaf. When he concentrated on the leaf, he realized that it is not as easy as it looks. Jiraiya started to laugh at Naruto's scrunched up face. He saw Naruto giving him a death glare. He shrugged his shoulders as he said, "Looks like you are having a little bit of a trouble controlling the wind, Gami"
Naruto said, "Shut up" he once again he was concentrating on cutting the leaf. Jiraiya noticed that Naruto was putting to much chakra into the leaf. He said, "Gami, I know why you are having some much trouble. You are putting too much chakra in that leaf. You are also going against the nature of wind. You see the wind and water are the only ones that you must truly be connected with your mind.
The wind is a free flowing element. That means you must use the mind not the body. The wind affinity is not something you control. It is something you harness. The wind is not something you manipulate. That is the common misconception that gets many wind users killed. The wind is the element that you must be one with it to full be able to use it. So instead of trying to force yourself onto the wind you must flow with the wind. Get it Gami?"
Naruto nodded and tried it again. He got into lotus position and put the leaf on the ground. He closed his eyes as he took a long wind breath. He concentrated on being one with the wind. While he was concentrating on being one with the wind, the leaf start to rise from the ground little by little.
As soon as Naruto lost concentration the leaf fell. He was sweating as he realized how hard it was. Jiraiya had to admit that this was pretty impressive. It takes skilled wind users at least a day to even lift up a leaf. He saw Naruto going at it again. He didn't want to disturb him. So he disappeared without a trace.

Jiraiya came back to see Naruto still in lotus position. What shocked Jiraiya was the fact that Naruto not only has one but four leaves twirling over and around his head. The wind was going around him as if it was having a picnic with Naruto.
Jiraiya was deeply impressed. Naruto shocked Jiraiya by speaking to him, "Hey Jiraiya-sensei. The Wind and I have been talking."
Jiraiya asked, "How did you know I was here?"
Naruto shrugged his shoulders. He said, "The wind felt heavier and the music of the wind changed when you came back."
Jiraiya said, "Oh, how can you know that it was not some bandit or something?"
Naruto said, "I heard the same music when you were here before. Whenever you move even a small step the song changes. Everyone has different sounds of music. It is due to their height, weight, size, and shape. The way the wind goes through a person is how a song is made."
Jiraiya sweatdropped. He blinked as he said, "Okay Gami, I think you've been in the wrong grass for much too long. Come on lets go. We're going inside the castle. Some of my informants say she is indeed inside."
Naruto was surprised that the wind actually whined. Naruto chuckled as he petted the invisible air. He got up and felt relaxed. Jiraiya said, "Ok Naruto, the next stage for the Wind element is to cut leaves. We are going to start this while we are going into town. "
Naruto nodded. He picked up his leaf and held it in his open palm. He was concentrating on it. The wind was swirling around it. He saw the leaf doing flips in the air. He cursed as the wind was having fun with him. Jiraiya had to admit that Naruto and the wind are acting like brothers or best friends.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX An Hour Later XXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto and Jiraiya reached the city. Jiraiya saw that Naruto was still having some trouble with harnessing the wind to cut the leaf. Jiraiya had to bite back a chuckle at Naruto's frustration. While Naruto was trying to cut the leaf he ran into someone.
The two fell on the floor. The woman said, "Watch where you going Gaki."
Naruto glared at the woman and said, "Why don't you watch where you going." Jiraiya felt a killing Intent he hasn't felt in a long time. He looked at the woman and the other one on the side of her.
Jiraiya said, "Well hello Tsunade and Shizune. Long time no see." Naruto looked at Jiraiya. Then he looked at the woman that was on the floor. His eyes went wide.
As he looked her up and down, he said, "Sensei, this bitch is Tsunade Senju?" The newly named Tsunade had a new tick mark on her forehead. She cocked back her arm and punched Naruto in the face. Naruto fell back on the ground knocked the hell out.
Jiraiya looked at Tsunade with a huge frown. He said, "Tsunade, why did you do that? That was not necessary."
Tsunade glared at Jiraiya. Jiraiya leveled his glare at her. She said, "Well this little punk thought he can call me a bitch without some payback." Jiraiya frowned deeply at this.
He said, "Tsunade what happened to you?"
She replied quickly, "Death happened. Now what do you want because quite frankly I want to be out of here real quick and you are in my way." The frown was still on Jiraiya's face.
Jiraiya just waved his hand. He said, "Tsunade-hime, I will pay your debts in this town if you let me explain what's going on in Konoha. I will even pay for dinner for all four of us."
Tsunade thought about it for a moment. She shrugged her shoulders and said, "Sure why not."
By this time Shizune was checking on Naruto. She made sure that he didn't have internal bleeding or anything like that. She noticed from medical expertise that Naruto's cells and regenerating abilities are way above average. She was surprised that her sensei didn't kill him with that punch. He should have at least a broken skull but he is only unconscious.
She sighed as she wish she could see the Tsunade of her youth. She shook her head to get those thoughts out of her head.
She said, "Jiraiya-sama, your traveling partner is fine. He is just unconscious."
Jiraiya said, "Thank you Shizune. How is the search for the one going?" Shizune turned beet red. Jiraiya did not know if it was from anger or embarrassment. Tsunade had a haughty laughed.
She said, "Shizune over here has not been in with someone in four years." Shizune knew if she could she would hurt her sensei. Jiraiya picked up his apprentice. He said, "Ok it is time time to have our talk."
A/N: Hey, this as you can see this is the filler part. The next chapter we will learn some more things about what is going on. About 5 more chapters we will learn what or who is the main antagonist is. Yes I skipped the Itachi and Kisame part. Don't fret they will appear sooner or later.
Now as to the 7 gods they were in the Japanese religion so they kind of fit in this chapter. Now before people ask me no Jiraiya will not teach him the Rasengan. Minato will teach him in alternative way. If you are confused about the demonic elements PM me. I will answer all questions so bring them on.
