Welcome Ladies and Germs! Now we start the fun part of the story! We build the Village, but where is it? That's the question. NOW ON WITH THE SHOW! Cranges, Cranges McBasketball? WRONG SHOW HAHA!
Naruto, Shikamaru, and Kai, or the three sages as the bingo book began to call them, where currently going under negotiations to start their new village with the Daimyo, Chikara. Now Chikara was a reasonable man, but he was currently having a migraine from the debate that the countries advisors were having. The three sages had been asked to leave at the start of meeting, right after they asked to build a village. "Why don't they ask them why they want our country as their new home?" Chikara finally asked. The advisors became silent before motioning for the guards to open the door for the sages.
"Now, why do you want to build a village in our land?" Chikara asked. "Well, we have done some research into the history of missions that your country has asked for, and it seems that you have had issues with trade routes, bandits, and other mercenaries. If we where to build a village, one it would make some of these ruffians think twice before they act, and two, you will pay less than what you would for a foreign country to send ninjas to." Shikamaru explained.
"Of course, we would need a grace period of at least 6 months so that we can get everything set up. At most a year and a half, but that's pushing it." Shikamaru said. "You still did not tell us of your reasons for wanting to build a village here." Chikara said. "Well, to tell the truth, a lot of our people that we have are either banished ninja, or missing ninja. This wont cause problems, because me made sure of their reasons for becoming missing. For the most part it was that they didn't agree with what the village was doing and wanted to find a new place to live. Naruto and I are included." Shikamaru continued.
"Who will lead this village, and who have you been in contact with?" One of the advisors asked. "I will, I have the most experience, but these are my teammates, Kai and Shikamaru. Shikamaru has the greatest strategic mind you will ever face, and Kai is one of the most bizarre fighters I have ever fought. We will be strong leaders for the village." Naruto said. "As for our people, we have the Fuma clan, an Akimichi, Shikamaru is a Nara, a weapons mistress. Two taijutsu masters. A Ronin, a few new bloodline users that want to start up clans somewhere. The Trap master Genno, a wind mistress, an Aburame, an Inuzuka, an interrogation master, the copy cat ninja, and a few others." Naruto said.
"And why is our country a good place to build a hidden village?" Chikara asked. "Well, we had a few of our people searching for a suitable country to build in, and The Land of Noodles seemed the best option." Naruto said. What a lot of people in the world didn't know, was that Noodles was mainly dense forest with giant trees the size of sky scrapers. "Well your dense forest is a great place to build, especially if we carve out a few trees and make them livable." Kai said. "That and the ability to find said village would be very hard if you didn't know where it was." Kai continued.
"Alright, I will discuses it with my advisors." Chikara said, dismissing the trio. A few hours later the trio were sitting in the Daimyo's office once again. "We have decided to allow you to build your village. Our question is what you want us to do?" Chikara asked. The trio looked at each other for a moment before Naruto stood up. "First we want to thank you for this opportunity. What we need, is to announce ourselves as a elemental nation. Next we need a grace period of at most 1 and a half years to set everything up. Finally, we need basic supplies; People, merchants, wood, stone, food. That is just till we get everything set up. In return, we can set up meetings with the Daimyo of Tea, Wave, Vegetable, and Wind." Naruto said. "We also want to keep a lid on the whole, new village and everything deal. We don't need people to come attacking the country to test us." Naruto said.
Chikara was silent in thought. "Very well, I agree with these terms. What shall you have us call our country?" He asked to the trio. Said trio converged for a minute to talk about it. "The Land of Darkness." Naruto said. "Why that name?" Chikara asked. "Well, considering that 80 percent of Noodles is actually dense forest, and that Shikamaru has created the Darkness Elemental affinity, it would suit us well." Naruto continued. "Really? You created a new elemental chakra?" Chikara asked. "Yeah, it was a pain in the ass to do it to." Shikamaru said with a yawn, causing the Daimyo to laugh.
"I like you guys, I think this will be the start of a wonderful friendship." Chikara said before he motioned for Naruto to stand. Chikara moved over to Naruto and placed his hands on Naruto's shoulders. "I Dub thee, Naruto, First Yamikage of the land of Darkness!" Chikara said before shaking everyone's hands. "I want to see a report about how things are going in 3 months." Chikara said with a smile. Naruto motioned for Kai to step forward. "Here you go Chikara, this is a communication crystal that Naruto created, should you ever be in danger, just speak into it and we will come running to help." Kai said.
"Alright everyone, it's time to move!" Naruto said as he arrived back in Wave. Everyone looked at him with a questioning look. "We finally got the negotiations to be over, and are now able to build our village." Naruto said with a smile. Everyone cheered. "So where is this mysterious country that we will be building our future in?" Samaki asked. Samaki was the unfortunate soul that had been a experiment for Orochimaru. "The Land formerly known as the Land of Noodles. It is now going to be called The land of Darkness." Naruto said. Everyone gasped. "You where able to rename a country?!" Someone from the Fuma clan asked. "Yep, and I have been dubbed the first Yamikage." Naruto said with a smile. Everyone was silent before they erupted into cheers once again.
The next few days passed as everyone was getting ready to move out. They had also gotten a few of the construction workers from the bridge to join them to help them build. Naruto was currently talking to the elders of the group along with Itachi and Kisame. "So did you two find any suitable places to build in the forest?" Naruto asked. "Actually, we found something that you might like." Kisame said before unsealing a map they had made. "So this point here is a large fallen tree, hollowed out, and is big enough to have a medium sized summon inside." He said before pointing to another spot.
"This here is a river that appears to fall from a tree near by. It circles the tree we pointed out earlier. That would give us a bit of protection, since you would either have to water walk over it or go around." Itachi said. "Now what we thought, and this is up to you, is that the fallen tree would make a great entrance, since it is like a big cave, and then we dig out part of the ground, making a large entrance hall that connects to two large trees that we hollow out. There are two trees that the tops have fallen over and are very flat, good for building homes and shops. And that is about all we can tell you, now its up to the builders to go from there if you think that's a good idea." Itachi said.
The builders and Tazuna converged over the map and talked it over for a minutes before saying, "It sounds like a good idea, but we will need to travel there to see what we can do." So the next day about 35 people where on the move to their soon to be new home. "Sooooo Naruto, what about that date I promised you." Said a voice from behind Naruto. Naruto looked behind him and saw Tenten looking at him with a blush. "Oh yeah, with all the training and preparations, I forgot about the date." He said with a goofy smile as he scratched his head. "But yeah, I'd like that when ever we actually get settled down." Naruto said before Tenten hugged him. "Thanks Naruto. Or do I have to call you Lord Yamikage?" She asked with a smile. "Nah, that's just a title. If we are going on a date at some point I would hope you call me by my name." Naruto said with a grin.
"Okay everyone we will set up camp here till we get everything set up." Naruto said to the crowd. It had taken 2 days and 5 hours for everyone to arrive at the potential village spot. "Tazuna, you guys can start when ever you want." Naruto said. "I think we can get set up to start in about an hour." The old man said before walking off.
"Naruto." A voice said. Naruto turned around and saw Gaara with Temari and Kankuro behind him. "Gaara, you sly raccoon! What are you doing here?" Naruto said after hugging his friend. "A little crow gave us a message." Kankuro said with a smirk. Kai, who was helping nearby, suddenly got a nuggie. "Gah! Naruto what the hell are you doing!?" Kai yelled. "What, you think that you wouldn't get reprimanded for getting Gaara and his family here? I bet you just wanted to see Temari." Naruto said with a laugh.
"Of course I want to see her, she is my girlfriend." Kai said before feeling something around his legs. Suddenly Kai was thrown against a tree. "Temari and you are dating?" Gaara asked with a dark look. "Y-yeah. I thought she told you?" Kai asked. "I approve." Gaara said after a moment before walking off with his sand. "I thought you told him Temari!?" Kai said. "I thought this would be much more entertaining." She said with a giggle.
"Oh, so you want entertaining do you?" He asked with a sly smile. "What are you? AH!" Temari asked before Kai jumped on her and started to tickle her. "KAI! HAHA S-STOP! HAHA! I-I GIVE!" Temari said. "Hey Naruto." Kai said. "Yeah?" Naruto asked. "Think we can celebrate tonight?" Kai asked with a wolfy grin. "If you can get everyone to get up and be less tired, go ahead." Naruto said. He wondered what Kai was thinking. "Temari, want to help me?" Kai asked. "What song?" Temari asked. Kai's glasses gleamed. "You will know when the music starts."
"HHHEEEEYYY! EVERYONE!" Kai yelled. Music slowly was heard. "Yall think you're tired, but we just got here! Why not celebrate?" He asked over a microphone he unsealed. Everyone groaned. "Now don't be like that. My music will fill you with energy!" He said before he unsealed a whole band. "How the hell did he get so many instruments?" Shikamaru asked. "Doesn't matter, he will make us dance." Naruto said with a grin. "Alright everybody, to dance to this song, you need to be in lines. Temari will show you the moves, so just copy her!" He said before summoning some shadow clones.
"HEEEEERRRRREEEE WWEE GO! Down down do you're dance, do you're dance. Down down do you're dance, do you're dance." Kai started to sing. That night the whole forest was alive with music and lights.
"Alright, even though I don't like them, I think we need a counsel, mainly to advise the current Yamikage about matters." Shikamaru said. "I see your logic, but what should we allow them to be able to do?" Naruto asked. "Well, first lets gather up people for the counsel." Shikamaru said. About an hour later there where 7 people around Naruto.
"Alright, so we decided that we should form a counsel to be able to advise the Yamikage." Naruto said. Everyone around him started to look at each other questionably. "Let me explain why I choose you all." Naruto said. "Iruka, I want you to be in charge of the academy, and I want you to personally tell us what is going on there." Naruto said, causing Iruka to tear up. "Teuchi my old friend, I want you to be in charge of the merchant guild, you still run your shop, but you tell me what goes on in our commercial division." Naruto said. Teuchi just nodded. "Shikamaru, Kai, I choose you, because you are my best friends, and I want you as my personal advisors, along with being in charge of our strategists, and offensive units." Naruto said. "Genno, my friend, I want you to be in charge of our defense, with your trap building skills, you could screw over assassins till Sunday, and they wouldn't even know it. But I do want you to have an apprentice." Naruto said. "Of course Naruto." The old man said. "Anko, I want you to be in charge of our interrogation division. With your experience, you can train or lead the next great interrogators." Naruto said. "Alright Kid, as long as we get a dango shop set up eventually." She said with a smirk. "Of course. And Finally Itachi. I want you to be in charge of our Anbu, you have the most experience, and I want to help you get your clan back to the top. AS LONG AS YOU DON'T HAVE ANY ARROGANT ASSHOLES!" Naruto screamed, causing Itachi to chuckle. "Of course Naruto."
"What will you do then as Yamikage?" Teuchi asked. "I have the final decision on any ideas that you come up with." Naruto said. "And be the strongest Ninja in the village." He said with a smile. "Well then, we better build you a village!" Tazuna said as he approached the group. "Naruto, if you don't mind, I want Inari to be the ambassador for Wave." He said as he took a swig of booze. "Sure thing old man." Naruto said. Tazuna turned around. "ALRIGHT LADS, LETS GET BUILDING!" He yelled. "YEAH!" All the workers yelled.
The next day...
"LORD NARUTO!" A voice yelled from outside the blondes tent. "Hmhafwheahr?" Naruto said, still somewhat asleep. "WAKE UP!" Came the voice again. "Uh, what the hell could be this important?" He asked himself as he walked out the door. "What?" He asked kinda madly. "We got a message from the New Mizukage! Apparently the rebels won the civil war. They now want to reach out and establish some allies, and they chose us!" Said one of the Fuma clan that found the messenger bird.
"How did the bird find this place?" Naruto demanded. "It has the Daimyo's seal on it." The man said. "Alright, we are fine then. I guess that the Land of Darkness has finally emerged in the world." Naruto said. "It says here that the New Leader wants to meet with us in a month." The man said. "Thank you, what is your name?" Naruto asked. "Soe, Lord Naruto." Soe said. "Alright, you are dismissed." Naruto said before walking up to the stage that was built. "EVERYONE!" Naruto yelled, getting the village's attention. "WE WILL BE HOSTING THE NEW MIZUKAGE IN A MONTH!" He yelled shocking everyone. "WE NEED TO BE ON OUR BEST BEHAVIOR! Now, LETS BUILD A VILLAGE!" He yelled, causing everyone else to yell too.
Shino walked up to Naruto. "Naruto." He said, causing Naruto to freak out. "Jeeze Shino, you scared the crap out of me, your stealth skills are amazing!" Naruto said. "Thank you. I think I can help with the construction." Shino said. "Really? How can you do that?" Naruto asked. "My bugs don't only eat chakra, I can have them eat wood, making tunnels and structures for us." Shino said. "Alright, I will talk to Tazuna about it, I have a meeting with him in a few minutes." Naruto said. Shino nodded before going to look for new types of bugs.
Tazuna walked up next. "Ah Naruto, I have a blueprint for the basics of the village." He said. "Alright, isn't it a bit early to have a basic plan?" Naruto asked. "Well I would say yes, but your friend Kai let us use some of his crows for us to see what the upper levels look like. It's actually quite amazing what you have found here." Tazuna said, taking a swig of Sake. "What did you find?" Naruto asked. "Well, most of the trees in the immediate area have broken at the top and are flat. On top of that, some have lakes, trees, I think I even saw a few deer up there." Tazuna said.
"In total I'd say that there's between 20 and 25 trees that we can build on. We also can build in the tree if we have the equipment." Tazuna said. "Well, Shino was telling me he can help you with that." Naruto said. "Well, lets look over these plans we have and see what we do from there..."
"ALRIGHT, SHOOT AN ARROW OVER THERE!" Tazuna yelled from the top of a chameleon. He was currently yelling to Ipiko, the Ronin that trained Naruto. "GOTCHA!" He yelled before pulling back his bow before releasing his arrow. His clan was notorious for their skill in archery. "ALRIGHT! APPLY THE CHAKRA!" Tazuna yelled, a few Fuma Nin came down on crows and started to pump their chakra into the rope that was attached to the arrow. The Fuma clan had developed this technique, but until they joined The Deepwoods village, they never had any use for it.
The rope swelled and became as strong as Iron. "LOOKING GOOD GUYS!" Naruto yelled. It had been almost a month since the ninja created the Village hidden in the Deepwoods, and their progress had escalated to the point of some people actually having homes to sleep in, not just the tents they brought with them. "NARUTO!" Kakashi yelled. Naruto turned around to look at his sensei. "What's wrong Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked. "The Mizukage is early!" He yelled. Naruto's eyes bulged out of their sockets as he ran to meet with the Mizukage.
Meanwhile, with said Kage. "Hm, interesting place, hard to find, and easy to pull an ambush. Now, Where the hell is that village!?" She yelled, making Ao and Chojuro sweatdrop. "Lady Mei, you're not helping." Ao said. "Yeah, how will I protect you if you keep running around like that?" Chojuro asked. "Well, besides the stray bandits and a rogue ninja here or there, you shouldn't need to protect her." said a voic from behind them. Chojuro unsheathed his sword as he jumped back. "Who are you and what do you want?!" He asked.
"Names Naruto, I live in the village that is being built." He said with a foxy grin. "How did you sneak up on us, and how do I know that you aren't lying?" Ao said, as he showed off his Byakugan. "Man, Hinata's going to be pissed." Naruto said. "And why would this girl be mad?" Ao asked. "Cuzz someone outside the Hyuga family besides her has the Byakugan." He said as he turned around. "And to answer your questions, I outran and hide from Anbu when I was a child. That's how you didn't sense me and how to tell you I'm not lying..." He said thinking for a moment. "Oh yeah, forgot to put on the new headband." Naruto said, taking a forehead protector out of his pocket.
He attacked it to his head and motioned for them to follow him to the village. "So that is the symbol of the new village?" Mei asked. "Yep, we call it, the village hidden in the Deepwoods." He said, showing off his headband. (For reference, draw 2 F's, but put the one on the left backwards, angle the lines downward, and connect them together so it looks like a weird H). "I can see why, these tree's are larger than Leafs!" Mei said. "Yeah, it took us awhile to find a place like this. But The Land of Noodles, or should I say Darkness, was perfect for us." Naruto said as he crossed his hands behind his head. "You seem to know a lot for just a teen." Mei said as they arrived at where all the tents were. "I would hope so, I am the Kage of the Village." Naruto said, making the trio's mouths drop. "Y-You are the Village leader!?" Ao asked. "Yep, and yes I call myself a Kage, I just have to prove I am on par with 2 more, I already fought with Gaara." Naruto said. "W-wow Naruto, that's amazing!" Chojuro said. "Thank you. Now, since you are a few days early to our meeting, why not explore what we have built of the village?" Naruto said.
..."Um Naruto, there's nothing to be seen besides a few tent's." Mei said. "Oh, you thought this was the Village? My bad, you're not in the village." Naruto said. "We aren't?" Mei asked. "No, of course not, you're under it!" Naruto said with a laugh.
Alright, chapter 5 done. Pretty long, compared to my other chapters, hope this holds you guys over for a while. Peace. I bid you all adieu!
