Hello my friends sorry I haven't updated lately, but my class at school this quarter has been very demanding. After this, however, I'll start writing the next chapter of Soldiers of the Skies. The next chapter for that fic will be pretty good, and one lucky fan actually guessed the plan for it. As for this chapter it's interesting to say the least, and has a pretty nice cliffhanger if I do say so myself. Anyway it seems the author's note before the chapter will be pretty short.

Now for something I hate no matter what…

…The disclaimer…

I don't own Naruto or Naruto Shippuden. If I did Team 7 minus Kakashi would be much cooler, Orochimaru would have a better outfit, oh and the sexy jutsu would be forbidden in shippuden due to Tsunade passing a law forbidding perverted jutsu on request of a letter left by Sarutobi.

"Talking"

"Thinking"

(flashback)

"Eavesdropping"

"Jutsu/Demon, summon, and Inner Sakura talking"

"Demon, summon, Inner Sakura thinking"

Quest for a Summon

In a puff of smoke Naruto knew he was no longer in the elemental nations anymore.

"Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, welcome to Mt. Myaboku the home of the summon toads." Spoke Gamakichi while Naruto looked around impressed.

"Wow" Naruto began while looking around. "This place is immense!" He finished.

As soon as he finished the ground beneath them quaked, and a gigantic toad's foot landed right in front of the two forcing them to look up and see Gamabunta, Kichi's dad and Boss Toad, staring down at them.

"Gamakichi what is Naruto doing reverse summoned here?" Bunta asked.

"Ah well you see pops, Naruto had something to talk to you about face to face, and didn't want to summon you in the middle of Kumogakure." Kichi said while sweating.

"Oh? Well Naruto what could be so important that you would ask to come here personally?" Bunta asked curious.

"I wanted to know if it's possible to sign a second summon contract while keeping my contract with the toads?" Naruto asked.

"You know kid I'm not really sure about it, but I'm sure the elders Fukasaku and Shima know, however, if they don't perhaps the Great Elder Toad would know." Bunta replied to the tiny summoner.

"Can you take us to the elders Bunta?" Naruto asked.

"Sure just climb on, and ill hop you to their house." Gamabunta asked.

So with that Naruto picked up Gamakichi, channeled chakra into his hands and feet, climbed up Bunta's back, and held on tight as the massive summon hopped to the elders home.

"Fukasaku-sama, Shima-sama, are you two home?" Gamabunta asked as Naruto and Gamakichi hopped off the boss toad.

"What in Kami's name is the trouble Bunta?" A an old looking green toad asked as he and another toad looking the same age hopped out of the house.

Fukasaku-sama, Shima-sama, meet Naruto Uzumaki, the boy I fought Shukaku with." Bunta spoke as he introduced Naruto.

"It's a pleasure to meet you both." Naruto said while bowing.

"Ah! So you're the child Jiraiya-boy always talks about." Shima began. "You're just like your father." She finished.

"So Naruto-boy what brings you here?" Fukasaku asked.

"Actually there are a couple things I want to know." Naruto began. "First, is it possible for me to sign a second summon contract while keeping the one I have with the toads?" Naruto asked the two elder toads.

"It depends if the Great Elder Toad will allow it, but you will have to say your reason for wanting to stay with the toads while having another contract." Shima told them.

"Well before I speak my reason let's go see the Great Elder."Naruto said before they all got on Bunta again, and headed for the temple of the Great Elder.

"Ah if it isn't little Minato." Spoke an old toad bigger than Gamabunta.

"Actually sir I'm not Minato Namikaze." Naruto began to correct the old toad. "I'm his son Naruto." He finished.

"Ah it is a pleasure to me you child." The great elder began. "Tell me what brings you here?" He finished.

"I wish to know if I can sign another summon contract while also staying with the toads?" Naruto asked.

"A child born of two great ninja, cursed with power from his mothers ancestors, and blessed with power surpassing a god shall be cast out of his homeland that feared and hated him for the power he gained from his mother. He shall go on a journey to become sage to two and bring peace to the world as well as ending those who see to trap the world in eternity of false peace." The great elder said as if in a trance.

"That's just like the prophecy he gave Jiraiya-boy all those many years ago!" Fukasaku exclaimed.

"Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze." The elder began. "You are the one destined to bring peace to the world." He continued. "I will allow you to possess a second contract in addition to ours. Please perform the summoning jutsu as we block the toad clan from you, so that you may find your second contract." The elder finished, and just as asked Naruto performed the jutsu only to disappear in a puff of smoke.

{Unknown location}

"Whoa." Naruto began. "So this was how Pervy Sage met the toads." He finished.

With that said Naruto began to look around the summoning realm he arrived in.

"Okay it's cool yet worrisome that this place appears to be a mountain range with the mountains starting from the clouds instead of actual earth." Naruto said.

"That's the Ryukami Mountains for you." Spoke a voice behind Naruto causing him to turn around. When he did, however, he saw a small yet strange looking dragon with scales that shined like crystals in sunlight.

"Uh, hi my name's Naruto." He began. "Could you tell me who you are, and explain this place?" Naruto asked the little dragon that was around shin height.

"Sure Naruto." The dragon spoke with excitement. "My names Ryuka, a crystal dragon, and daughter Artemis the head crystal dragon clan and of the entire dragon summon clan." She began explaining. "There are also some elemental dragon clans for all the main and sub-elements, and the elemental clans live in separate mountains. There is one mountain for each clan with the crystal dragons having a home in the largest mountain in the center of the range." She continued.

"Because your mother is the head of the clan as a whole." Naruto said.

"You bet, so what's a human doing here anyway?"Ryuka asked.

"I wanted to see if I could sign your clan's summon contract." Naruto told her.

"Well it's a good thing we're on our way to my branch's mountain since mom decides based on intentions." Ryuka said, and Naruto realized she was right.

With that said they continued on in silence, especially when Ryuka perched herself on Naruto's right shoulder. Once they reached their destination Naruto could only stare in awe at the mountain Ryuka's branch of the dragon clan lives in. It is a massive mountain easily the tallest in the realm that in the sun looked to be coated in pure crystal.

"Here we are." Ryuka began. "Home sweet home. Follow me, and I'll take you to mom." She finished, and took flight into the mountain's cave with Naruto following close behind until they reached the heart of the crystal dragon den, which, at the time housed only one dragon at least the size of Gamabunta.

"Hey mom wake up, I brought a human to see you." Ryuka shouted waking her mother.

"A human eh… is he a blonde with sapphire blue eyes?" She asked in a sleepy yet angelic voice.

"Yes, how'd you know?" Ryuka asked curious.

"In the era of the Rikudo-sennin, before the elders of the elemental dragon clans went extinct creating a permanent seal should the Jūbi ever be restored. They foretold a powerful child destined to save his world would venture to ours to gain allies from our clan." She explained. "So, tell me boy what is your name?" Artemis asked.

Naruto then bowed and said. "Artemis-sama, my name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze. I was told by the Great Elder of the summon toads that I would bring peace, and become a sage of two summons."

"I can tell your words are true, and your intentions are just Naruto." Artemis began and in a puff of smoke an open and blank summon scroll appeared. "So I, Artemis of the crystal dragons, give you permission to sign our contract." She finished, and Naruto signed the scroll.

Well there is the end of the chapter. Sorry it took so long, but there was the work so far from this quarter at school and working on finishing that chapter for Return of the Uzumaki's Redone. I also won't be able to write much for a while since I have to study for my midterm, and it is on two very tricky chapters. However, I will work on the next chapter of Soldiers of the Skies in the downtime I get. Also don't forget to vote in the poll on my profile.

Until the next time true believers
