Hello everyone and welcome back to chapter 12. This would have been out a few days ago but I had a new story idea pop into my head and couldn't focus on anything else until I got it wrote down some and was dealing with Christmas and all that good stuff. I want to give a big thanks to Dragonpony022 for helping me get the yugioh summons for the girls picked out. Anyways I'm sure you all are here for the chapter so on with the story.
The gates slowly opened to reveal a road leading from the gate and up a hill. On both sides of the road were wide open fields with what looked to be the remnants of barns or some other building. In the distance above the hill, they could see part of a single tower standing above the hill.
"That is the uzukage tower. I am surprised it is still standing after all this time." Toshiro said as the group continued walking down the road.
"How did you know I was from the royal line Toshiro?" Naruto asked.
"My family were part of the uzukage's personal guard. I had met Kushina-sama when my father had took me to meet the family I would be protecting when I was old enough. Your mother would have been the next uzukage and now that position is rightfully yours." Toshiro explained.
The group neared the top of the hill and could see more partially standing buildings. As they made it to the crest of the hill, the group stopped when they saw the village. The streets had the remains of ninja scattered all through the village. As the group continued on into the village, they noticed some of the metal plates from headbands were from Uzushio while others were from Kumo, Iwa, and Kiri. As the group of ninja continued to look around what was left of the bodies, the three Uzumaki members were growing angrier. Most of the remains of the Uzu ninja still had old rusty kunai and swords stuck in the bones that remained.
"Why are Kiri, Kumo, and Iwa headbands here?" Fu asked.
"Uzushio was a strong village due to the use of fuinjutsu and kenjutsu. The village was on its way of becoming the sixth hidden village of the elemental nations. Before that happened though, Kumo, Iwa, and Kiri grew afraid of what the village would become capable of and attacked Uzu. A few from our clan managed to escape and find shelter elsewhere. Even though Uzushio lost in the end, we still took down a large portion of three of the great villages with us." Toshiro explained to the mint haired girl.
"Shadow clone jutsu." Naruto called out as two hundred clones appeared. "Gather the remains and bring them back to the field." Naruto ordered as he turned and headed back to the fields they had passed.

About an hour later and everyone was gathered at the fields. The remains that the clones were able to gather of people from Uzu were laying on the ground while the remains from the other three villages were piled in a spot away from the others. Naruto and one of his clone stepped forward and both began a set of different hand signs.
"Earth style: splitting earth." Naruto said as he placed his hands on the ground as the earth began to split and swallow the Uzu people's remains. "Fire style: fireball jutsu." The clone called as he launched a fireball at the other village's remains burning them out of existence.
Everyone was silent as the three Uzumaki took a moment to silently say farewell to their clansmen. When that was done, Naruto turned and lead everyone back into the village and towards the kage tower. As they walked, they looked around the village. Some buildings were completely destroyed while others still had a couple walls standing. It would take a while, but Naruto knew he could rebuild the village.
"Do you know what all is in the kage tower?" Jiraiya asked as they neared the building.
"The kage office is at the very top while there are rooms for meetings and such throughout the other levels. The vault is in the basement which is protected by a blood seal that reveals a hidden staircase to get to the basement. The tower was protected by some off the best seals that Uzushio had so the tower should still be intact." Toshiro explained to the white haired sannin.
As the group of ninja made it to the kage tower, Toshiro walked forward and bit his thumb drawing blood and swiped it across the door. A seal started to glow for a few moments before the glow died down and Toshiro opened the door. Once the group made it inside, Toshiro walked over to one of the walls and swiped more blood across a small section. An outline of a door appeared and then the wall moved back and to the side revealing a staircase. The ninja followed it down and came to a large open room that was filled with stacks of money and coins causing all except for Toshiro's eyes to widen.
"That's a lot of money." Karin stated as the others just nodded in agreement.
"The Uzumaki saved their money and only used it when they needed too. They made the vault like this so no one would be able to find it unless you knew what you were looking for and even then you had to get past the blood seal." Toshiro told them as he led them back up the stairs they came down. Once everyone was out of the stairway, the door sealed itself shut once again.
Toshiro then led them up the stairs towards the kage office. They stopped at a few rooms on the way up just to see what all was inside. They made it to the office and walked in to find the place a giant mess. Chairs and other furniture items were broken and spread across the room, holes littered the walls and papers were everywhere.
"Look around and see if you can find anything important." Naruto said as the group started looking around.
Naruto noticed a seal on the side of the desk and studied it for a couple minutes. After making sure it wasn't trapped or anything, Naruto swiped blood across it and a large black scroll appeared. Naruto unraveled it and saw that it was a summoning contract. As it was looking it over, some of his blood dripped on the scroll and he was gone in a poof of smoke. The others noticed him disappear and started to freak out before Toshiro stopped them.
"Relax, this is the summoning scroll that each of the Uzukage have signed. Naruto must have dropped some blood on the scroll and the summons reversed summoned him back to their realm. We will just have to wait for him to return." Toshiro explained as he looked over the scroll.

"Where the hell am I?" Naruto asked out loud as he looked around the room he was in.
"You are in the spirit world young Uzumaki." A voice said behind Naruto causing him to turn around. There he saw six large beings staring at him.
"Spirit world, got it. May I ask who you are and how I got here?" Naruto asked.
"I am known as the Winged Dragon of Ra. The red dragon is known as Slifer the sky dragon, the tall blue one is Obelisk the Tormentor." The large dragon said pointing to the two on his left before motioning to his right. "The red winged dragon is Uria, Lord of Searing Flames. The gold one is Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder and the blue one is Raviel, Lord of Phantasms. And for how you got here, we brought you here." Ra finished.
"But why did you bring me here?" Naruto asked confused as he looked at each large being.
"We have been the Uzukage's summons since the first Uzukage took office. We haven't had a summoner for quite some time. When your blood dropped on the scroll, we could tell that you were from the royal line as your blood had the same feeling as our last summoner meaning you were related to the last Uzukage. That means that we are now your summons." Slifer stated.
"I am glad you all would like me to be your summoner, but I already have a summoning contract with the dragons." Naruto replied to the double mouthed dragon.
The six summoning creatures shared a look before they all nodded. "Will you please summon the dragon clan's boss?" Ra asked as Naruto nodded. The blond bit his thumb and made a set of hand signs before slamming his hand to the ground. "Summoning jutsu." Naruto called and in a large poof of smoke, Igneel was there.
"What can I do for you Naruto?" Igneel asked.
"We asked him to summon you Igneel-san." Ra spoke getting Igneel to look at the gold bird like dragon.
"Ah, Ra-san, how may I help you?" Igneel asked.
"We would like for Naruto to sign our contract but he said he has a contract with the dragons. We were wandering if it would be alright with you if Naruto was to sign both contracts?" Ra asked getting a shocked look from Naruto.
"I have no problem with that. It will help Naruto if any of the dragons are unavailable. As long as Naruto is fine with it then so am I." Igneel said before bowing to the other summons and Naruto before disappearing.
"So what do you say?" Obelisk asked.
"I would be honored to sign the contract." Naruto said with a bow as the scroll appeared before him.
"Only the Uzukage and his family can sign this contract. Once you start your family, they too will be allowed to sign the contract and summon us." Ra said as Naruto finished signing the contract and nodded in response. A second later and the young blond was gone in a poof of smoke.

Naruto reappeared back in the Uzukage office in a poof of smoke. The others looked at the blond as he looked around. "What happened Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked.
"I got another summoning contract." Naruto said with one of his fox like smiles causing the four girls to blush slightly. Naruto bit his thumb and slid it across the summoning tattoo that he had on his arm causing Niji to appear.
"Hello Naruto-kun, what can I do for you?" Niji asked.
"I need you to summoning yourself to the seal that I gave Zabuza and have him meet me in Wave tomorrow. If they are too far away to make it b tomorrow then will you please bring them and meet me at Tazuna's house?" Naruto asked.
"Of course Naruto-kun." Niji said before she disappeared.
"What are you going to wave for Naruto?" Jiraiya asked.
"I am going to rebuild Uzushio and I know just who to ask to help rebuild the buildings. I should only be gone for a couple days and then I will get started on my training. While I am gone with you help the girls with their training?" Naruto asked the sannin getting a nod in reply. Naruto then left to get some money to pay Tazuna for the supplies and work if he accepted the job.

The next day Naruto was walking through the small town that had been saved from Gato's grip. He took the time to stop and talk with the little kids that was running around the town as he made his way to Tazuna's house. As he walking up the dirt path to Tazuna's place, he heard three people land behind him and felt Niji wrap herself around his neck.
"Glad you all could make it." Naruto said as he continued walking.
"So what do you need gaki?" Zabuza asked as they followed the blond.
"How many of the swords have you been able to find?" Naruto asked.
"We have all of them except for Samehada, Kabutowari, and Hiramekarei. Kisame has Samehada and one of the Mizukage's ninja has the Hiramekarei. I haven't been able to get any leads on the Kabutowari though." Zabuza replied getting a nod from the blond.
"In about three weeks I need you in Konoha. Orochimaru is planning an invasion and I don't plan on letting him accomplish destroying the village. After that you can resume your search for the blades." Naruto said.
"So what are you doing back in Wave Naruto?" Haku asked.
"I came to ask Tazuna if he would build the buildings for Uzushio. Like I said when we first met, I am going to rebuild Uzu and I thought I would ask Tazuna to help." The blond replied to the ice user.
The group continued on in silence for the rest of the short walk. As they made it to Tazuna's house, Naruto walked up and knocked on the door. After a few moments of waiting, Tsunami came and opened the door. When she saw who it was, she immediately pulled him into a hug.
"Naruto, it's good to see you again." Tsunami said.
"It's good to see you too. How have you been?" the blond asked.
"I have been good. Everything is doing so much better since you all took care of things. Dad, Inari come here." Tsunami said. A few seconds later and Inari and Tazuna came in from the kitchen.
"Naruto-nii!" Inari shouted as he tackled Naruto in a hug.
"Hey Inari, old man." Naruto replied with a smile.
"I told you I'm not old damn it." Tazuna said as he shook Naruto's hands and nodded at the other three ninja. "What brings you around Naruto?"
"I came to ask you for some help." Naruto said as he unrolled a scroll and placed it on the table top. After pumping some chakra into it, the money was unsealed and everyone's eyes went wide except for Naruto.
"I am going to rebuild Uzushio and I need someone to build the houses and other buildings. You interested?" Naruto asked.
"You know I'll help Naruto but this is way too much." Tazuna said.
"Keep it Tazuna, I have a whole lot more back in Uzushio. Use it for the three of you or use it for the village." Naruto replied.
"It will be a few days to get everything gathered up and ready to go. But I will be there in about a week and a half." Tazuna said.
"Niji, can you help bring everything to Uzushio? I'll summon a few other dragons to help and we'll just get everything done in one trip." Naruto asked the small dragon.
"Of course Naruto-kun." Niji replied as Naruto pet the top of her head.
This is as good a place as any to end the chapter. Next chapter will probably start the finals of the exams. I know some of you may want me to write out the training but I just ain't the best with things like that. The next chapter or two will reveal which yugioh summons the girls will get. Not much happened this chapter but like I said, it will pick up again with next chapter and the start of the finals. Anyways that's all for now so until next time, peace.
