Hey everyone, been a while but I'm back with a new chapter. I know there are people wanting this updated quickly but my other story is my main focus right now but this story will be updated at least once or twice a month. Anyways on with the story.
"How much longer until we get there jiji?" Naruto asked the elderly kage for what seemed to be the thousandth time today.
Hiruzen and Naruto had left the leaf village three days ago and were headed to the hidden sand village, Sunagakure. Jiraiya had stayed behind in order to do his research but promised to be in Suna on time. When you could summon giant toads who could cover miles in a single leap, what was the point in getting in a hurry? If the kage, Naruto and his small group of anbu body guards were traveling at a ninja's speed, they would have already been in Suna.
"We are almost there Naruto, look." Hiruzen said pointing at the large walls in the distance. "Those are the walls that surround and help protect Suna. We will be there shortly."
Naruto calmed down a bit after that as he watched the walls of Suna get closer and closer. As the carriage passed the walls, Naruto watched as each of the Suna ninja bowed in the hokage's direction. "Jiji, how come those ninja are bowing to you when you aren't their kage?" Naruto asked.
"It is always polite to bow to the kages Naruto-kun. Unless they tell you otherwise, should always bow before any of the kages whether in your village or any of the other village across the elemental nations." Hiruzen said as the carriage stopped in front of a large building.
The kage and the young blond made their way up the stairs to the top floor of the building. There was a young woman sitting behind a desk doing paperwork. She had long blond hair, blue eyes, and was wearing a grey skirt with matching shirt.
"Hello Moka-san, is Kazekage-sama in?" Hiruzen asked.
"Hello Hokage-sama." Moka said as she stood and bowed. "Just one moment and I'll check."
She walked around her desk and knocked on the large door to the kage's office. After being given permission to enter, she opened the door and bowed before her leader. "Sir, the Hokage is here to see you."
"Send him in and please bring in some tea." Replied the Kazekage as Moka held the door for Hiruzen and Naruto to enter before she left to get the tea.
Naruto looked at the older man as he entered the room. He had auburn hair and dark eyes. He had a loose green fitting kimono with a white color and his kage hat was sitting on his desk. Rasa looked at the young blond for a few moments and noticed that he looked a lot like the fourth hokage.
"Good afternoon, Kazekage-sama." Hiruzen said as he and Naruto bowed.
"Please, no need for that. I hear that enough from my villagers. Rasa is just fine. Who is the young one you brought with you?" Rasa asked.
"Naruto Uzumaki, Rasa-sama." Naruto said with another bow trying to be as polite as possible.
Hiruzen started to sit move to sit down but stopped when Naruto spoke. "Jiji, may I go outside while you're busy?" Naruto asked.
"There is a small park just outside the tower that he can play in if it is alright with you." Rasa said.
"Go ahead Naruto-kun, but be careful ok. I don't need you getting hurt." Hiruzen said as Naruto left the room.
"So is he Minato and Kushina's boy? He looks a lot like Minato except for the whisker marks." Rasa asked.
"Yes, he is their son and our own jinchuuriki. Jiraiya should be here soon and we can take a look at the seal on your daughter." Hiruzen said getting a nod from Rasa.

Naruto walked out of the kage tower and headed for the park. He entered the park and saw a small group of kids playing ball. He started to go and ask if he could join but stopped when he saw someone else walking up. The person was a girl with red hair that reached just passed her shoulders. She stood at just a couple inches shorter than himself. Her eyes were a light blue-green in color and she was wearing a red tank top with the Suna symbol on the back, black shorts, and brown sandals. To Naruto, she was one of the most beautiful girls he had seen.
Naruto watched as she walked up to the kids and asked them if she could play. The kids stopped playing with the ball and turned to look at the young girl before they all took off running from her. The young girl walked over to the swings and sat down and slowly started swinging. Naruto saw the look in her eyes, it was the same look he had of wanting to be loved and accepted.
"Why do they treat her like that?" Naruto thought to himself.
"She is like you kit. She holds my youngest brother Shukaku, the one tailed tanuki. Go and talk with her, I'm sure she could use a friend who knows what she is going through." Karumi said through the mental link getting a nod from Naruto.
Naruto picked up the ball that the kids were playing with and walked towards the young girl. He placed the ball on the ground and rolled it over to her as she stopped swinging and looked up at Naruto. "Hi, I'm Naruto Uzumaki. Want to play?" Naruto asked.
"My name is Gaia. Are you not going to run away like the others?" Gaia asked hoping he wasn't like the other kids even though she had never seen him around before.
"I know what it feels like to be alone. I wouldn't wish that on anyone Gaia-chan. I'm also not afraid of what is sealed within you." Naruto said getting a wide eyed look from the young girl.
"How do you know about Shukaku?" Gaia asked.
"I have four tailed beast sealed within me Gaia-chan. I hold the nine, eleven, twelve, and thirteen tailed beasts." Naruto replied.
"He's not lying little one, I can sense the other four within him." a deep voice spoke in Gaia's mind.
"How do I know he won't just try to hurt me?" Gaia asked mentally.
"He is already pretty close to you Gaia, if he was a danger to you, your sand would already have stopped him. Just give him a chance Gaia." Replied the tanuki getting a mental nod from Gaia.
Gaia picked up the ball and gave Naruto a small smile as the two began to play. About an hour later and two other kids joined them. Gaia introduced them as her older siblings and they were both happy that Gaia had finally found her a friend. The four continued to play until an anbu appeared next to them.
"Please come with me children. Kazekage-sama and Hokage-sama has asked that you all return to the kage tower at once." The anbu said as he led the four children back to the tower.
Once the four kids made it back to the kage's office, they entered to find a third man with the two kages. Naruto recognized the man from the stories that Hiruzen would tell him of his days of teaching genin. This man was Jiraiya and one of the three legendary sannin.
Rasa looked to his three kids and spoke. "This is Jiraiya of the sannin and seal master of Konoha. He is here to make sure that your seal is working properly Gaia." Rasa explained.
"Just come here and show me your seal and I will look it over real quick and make sure nothing is wrong." Jiraiya said getting a nod from the young red head. Gaia walked over and stood in front of the tall man and lifted her shirt just over her stomach.
She channeled a little bit of chakra into the seal causing it to appear so the sannin could do his job. After about ten minutes of checking the seal, he stood and nodded his head. "Everything looks fine with the seal Kazekage-sama. If you ever happen to notice anything that looks wrong with it just be sure to let sensei know and I will return to check it."
"Thank you Jiraiya-san. You kids may leave now. Be sure to be home by eight for dinner tonight and bring Naruto along since he and the hokage will be staying with us for a couple of days." Rasa said.
"Hai tou-san." The three sand siblings said before the four kids left the office. Rasa stood and walked over to the window overlooking his village and watched as his kids played with the son of one of his closest friends.
"Hiruzen, did we ever find a way to finalize the alliance agreement between our villages?" Rasa asked.
"We have thought of a few ideas but nothing has been approved as of yet. Why do you ask?" Hiruzen replied with curiosity.
"What about a marriage contract between Naruto and my youngest Gaia?" Rasa asked.
"Are you sure about that Rasa? Naruto is the last of the Uzumaki clan and if he decides to rebuild his clan, then he will need more than one wife in the future." Hiruzen said.
"I am sure Hiruzen, it will show that out villages fully trust in each other by doing it this way. And I am well aware of what it takes to rebuild a clan. We can start explaining this to each of them over the next few years and once they both become genin we can explain about the marriage contract." Rasa replied as he watched his kids play with Naruto.
Hiruzen walked over next to the Kazekage and watched the young kids as a smile came to his face. "Very well Rasa. Have it wrote it up and send it to Konoha once it is finished."

The next few days went by fast for Naruto as he spent them with Gaia, Temari, and Kankuro. He now stood with Hiruzen outside the kazekage tower along with Rasa and the sand siblings. He was upset that their visit had to end so early and that he was leaving three new friends behind.
Gaia wasn't doing much better as her only friend outside of her family and Shukaku was leaving and she wasn't sure when she would see him again. "Would it be alright if I write to you Naruto-kun?" Gaia asked as she hugged the blond.
"I would like that Gaia-chan. Jiji is gonna start training me once we get back to Konoha along with someone else but won't tell me who, so I will write back as soon as I get time." Naruto replied giving the young redhead a fox like smile causing her to blush.
"Come on along Naruto-kun. We must be getting back to Konoha." Hiruzen said as he climbed into the carriage.
"Bye guys, I hope I get to see you all soon." Naruto replied as he climbed in after his jiji before the carriage took off.
"Naruto-kun, can I ask you a question?" asked the kage.
"Go ahead jiji." Naruto replied.
"Since you know of the Uzumaki clan, do you wish to rebuild it?" Hiruzen asked waiting for the boy's answer.
"I would like to one day. Why do you ask?" Naruto asked curious as to why this was being brought up.
"If the last living member of a clan is a male, he usually takes multiple wives to help rebuild his clan. I just thought you should know this for if you decide to rebuild the Uzumaki clan." Hiruzen explained as Naruto thought over what he was told.

Three days later and Naruto and Hiruzen returned to the hidden leaf village. The carriage stopped in front of the kage tower and the two got out. As Naruto started to walk away, he heard a voice in his head.
"Come and claim us master." A quiet feminine voice said. Naruto looked around for a minute before speaking to his tenants.
"Did you all say or hear something?"
"We didn't say anything Naruto-kun and we didn't hear anything either." Hoshimi replied.
Naruto shrugged his shoulders and started to walk away when he heard another voice. "We are here to serve you young Uzumaki. Follow our voices and come to us." This time the voice was a deep male voice.
Hiruzen was watching the young blond with a bit of confusion. "What is it Naruto-kun?"
"I keep hearing these two voices and they are telling me to come and find them and that they are here to serve me." Naruto said before he walked into the kage tower followed by Hiruzen.
"Can he really hear both of the blades? Even Kushina and Minato could only control one of them." Hiruzen thought to himself as he followed Naruto down towards the basement. Naruto stopped at a wall and tried to find a way through it. Hiruzen made a few hand signs and the wall disappeared to reveal a large metal door.
Naruto started following the voices once again and walked into the room. The young boy stopped walking for a minute and began to look around, his gaze landed on two blades that were handing on the wall side by side. The first blade was made from pitch black metal, the hilt was covered in red and black cloth, and it had a short chain with a broken link at the end.
The second blade was a sleek, medium sized blade. The hilt's grip, which has a gentle black-decorative wrapping, bends forward at the end, with a pommel shaped overlap three times, and a crimson tassel dangling from its base. Instead of a tsuba, there is a U-shape guard covering three inches of blade, with a flower petal design. At the base of the guard is a red string wrapped thrice around the hilt, with a three-loop bow on the back side and a folded paper decoration on the front side. The blades hamon is straight, colored black with a silver edge.
Hiruzen watched as Naruto walked towards the blades in an almost trance like state. Naruto stepped up to the blades and placed one hand on the hilt of each blade. Suddenly everything went black, a few moments later and Naruto appeared in an open grassy plain. He looked around trying to figure out where he was when he saw two people standing side by side.
"Who are you two?" Naruto asked as he stared at the people.
The first was a female standing about five foot five. She had long red hair, dark crimson eyes, and was wearing a red kimono that showed off a small portion of cleavage. The second was a man standing at about six foot tall and his skin was white. He was wearing a white trench like coat, had white hair, and what looked to be part of a black mask's remains with one horn covering a glowing yellow eye. His other eye was an ice blue.
"My name is Benihime and this is Tensa Zangetsu. We are spirits that reside within the two blades that you now own. I belonged to your mother and Zangetsu here was your fathers. This is the first time that I have ever allowed a male to wield my blade so do not make me regret make decision master." Benihime spoke getting a nod of agreement from Zangetsu.
Naruto was surrounded by blackness again but it soon disappeared and he was standing in front of the two blades once again. Naruto took the two blades and placed them in their sheathes that appeared below the blades before turning to the hokage. "The blades have chosen me as their new master jiji." Naruto said with a happy smile.
"Come on Naruto-kun. It seems you will need more training than I thought in order to master your sharingan and the blades. Let's go and contact the person who will hopefully become your tutor." Hiruzen said as he led Naruto out of the vault.
And there is chapter 2. Would've had this out sooner but had some personal things to take care of and had a hard time figuring out a good way to write the chapter. Anyways I hope you enjoyed and leave me a review and let me know what you think.
