CHAPTER 8

"A man is great by deeds, not by birth"-Chanakya

-Flashback-

"Will we see you again brother?" Gaara asked. Naruto was his first real friend he didn't want to see him go. "Of course we will brother I will never forget you or what I have learned here" Naruto said. Everyone else had said their goodbyes and was waiting for Naruto to finish his.

"Gaara we will always be brothers nothing will change that and I am proud to call you my brother and keep practicing with Kaito to work on you sand and also try to get Shukaku to become your partner." Naruto now turned to Kankuro.

"Kankuro you are a good friend and while I will be the first to say that how much you like puppets is weird, but it is a strong skill to have if you master it and use it to its fullest potential" Naruto said what he needed to so he turned to Temari.

"Temari-neechan you are a strong kunoichi and I know that someday you will blow some guys mind away with your beauty but your wind still needs some practice if you want to beat me so practice and maybe one day you will surpass me in skill with wind" Naruto now turned to the last person he had something to say to. This person being the man that Naruto had come to see as an uncle, Kaito the kazekage.

"uncle Kaito I know you had pure intentions but that led to tension and ill feelings between your family, all I want to say is that nothing and I mean nothing is more important than family never forget that also I hope one day when I'm stronger I can fight you for real and see the power of a kage of Suna" Naruto finished. Everyone nodded their heads to what Naruto had told them and with that Naruto caught up to his family and they were on their way.

"So ero-jiji where are we headed now" Naruto asked. "well I got info from my spy network that there are two jinchuriki in Kiri so that is where we are headed but it is about a week travel so no complaining" Jiraiya said as he could already hear Naruto and Sasukes irritated grunts which only made him smile.

The walk to Kiri was fun but uneventful to Naruto. Naruto had mainly been talking to his family and reflecting on his time in Suna until he felt some chakra signatures nearby so he tensed up. Jiraiya smirked at Naruto and Sasuke noticing how they tensed.

"State your business for entering Kiri" a rather gruff voice said. "I am Jiraiya of the sannin and I and my companions were headed to see the Mizukage for a meeting" Jiraiya quickly said. "My apologies for not recognizing you Jiraiya-sama Tsunade-sama" the same gruff voice from before said which appeared to be a Kiri ANBU.

The group was swiftly escorted to Kiri and the Mizukages office by the ANBU and once there the ANBU knocked on the door before a short come in was heard from the other side.

When they entered Naruto saw two people one a female with long auburn hair covering one of her eyes. She was carrying paperwork to the Mizukages desk and the other person was a rather short man who was the mizukage from what Naruto could tell.

"What is the reason for this visit if I may ask Tsunade-dono Jiraiya-dono?" the mizukage asked. He was slightly surprised when the small boy of about nine years with blonde hair stepped forward.

"hello mizukage-sama we are here at my request, about a year and a few months ago I was informed that I was a jinchuriki" at this the Mizukages eyes widened a little bit "and since then I asked my grandparents jiraiya and tsunade if we could travel and look for other jinchuriki, that is why we are here mizukage-sama I wish to meet other jinchurikis like myself" Naruto said.

"I see that is a strange but understandable cause that you seek, if I may ask what beast do you carry and have you meet any other jinchuriki yet?" the mizukage asked.

Tsunade looked at Naruto nervously she knew this was his thing to talk about but she still wanted to protect him but she held her mouth letting Naruto decide what he would say.

"I will answer your questions if you will grant me one question in return mizukage-sama" Naruto said."I agree to your terms" the mizukage said.

"very well on my short travel so far I have met one other jinchuriki he at first was much worse off than I was but after spending time with him I was able to get him to understand and interact with me and others, he was the jinchuriki for Shukaku the one tailed tanuki and I am Naruto Namikaze jinchuriki of Kurama the nine tailed fox" Naruto said.

After naruto finished talking he let his ears and tails come out to prove his point. "Now I believe I can ask a question right mizukage-sama?" Naruto asked. "Yes you may Naruto" the mizukage said. "what trait did you receive from isobu?" Naruto asked.

The mizukage didn't know whether to be surprised or laugh and his assistant was staring confused at Naruto wondering what kind of question that was. Jiraiya Tsunade and Shizune were shocked at what Naruto said because they understood his meaning. Sasuke just looked at everyone's reaction because what Naruto says and does no longer surprises him.

The mizukage started laughing lightly "so you know about isobu then either you or kurama are a sensor and since you told me you name it's only fair you know mine I am Yagura yondaime mizukage" Yagura then pointed to the women who had more paperwork for him "and this is my assistant and teammate Mei Terumi" Yagura said.

"Nice to meet you Yagura-san Mei-chan" Naruto said. "But Yagura-san you still haven't answered my question" Naruto said.

"Ah yes you are right I have the ability to control water to an extreme but I also gained the ability to use coral what about you naruto?" Yagura asked.

"well Kurama gave me my tails and ears but I also gained his ability to sense hate, but the reason I sensed isobu was because of me I am a sensor like you said but having Kurama enhances my sensing and allows me to use his ability to sense hate, I also don't know if it's just me or not but I heal extremely fast" Naruto said.

Yagura nodded his head in understanding "I heal fast as well so that may just be a jinchuriki thing Naruto" Yagura said. "If I may Yagura-dono I could examine Naruto and then you to determine if there is a difference in your healing factor" Tsunade said.

Yagura nodded his head telling Tsunade she could do so "Naruto-kun come here for a sec" Tsunade said. "Sure ba-chan" Naruto said. Tsunade then took out a scalpel and made a small cut on Narutos finger and then waited until it sealed up a few seconds later. Tsunade then turned to Yagura "may I Yagura-dono?" Tsunade asked.

Yagura nodded again so Tsunade cleaned her scalpel and made a cut on Yaguras finger the exact same thing she did to naruto and waited for it to heal, once it was done tsunade turned to Yagura "it appears that Narutos healing factor is much faster than yours Mizukage-dono, make no mistake you both heal much faster than any other person by normal standards but yours is slower than Naruto-kuns so if I had to guess the more tails of the beast that the jinchuriki holds the faster there healing which also means judging by how fast you heal in comparison to Naruto and that you said you control water is it fair to say that Isobu is the three tailed turtle mizukage-dono?" Tsunade asked.

Yagura chuckled lightly "I see your reputation as the world's greatest medic is not unfounded Tsunade-dono you are very correct in your analyses Isobu is indeed the three tailed turtle" Yagura said.

-Flashback End-

"We also spent about a year in Kiri meeting people and getting to know Yagura-nisan and Mei-neechan, but we did also meet a man by the name of utakata who was the jinchuriki to Saiken the six tailed slug, and once we were about to leave Yagura-nisan offered a peace treaty with us so that is what the second scroll is old man" Naruto said.

Everyone but Sasuke was shocked right now Naruto counting himself had meet for out of the nine bijuu and were wondering if he did meet them all.

"You still have two more scrolls to explain Naruto-kun" Hiruzen said.

"Right well the next on is from Takigakure and that was an interesting stay" Naruto said.
