-Three Months Later-
It has been just under three months since naruko, tenten, shizune and tsunade returned to konoha, news of their return quickly spread through the village via the civilian and shinobi councils. The news is met in various degrees of reactions, most of the older generation still see naruko as the kyubi reborn. The younger generation were split as they were curious but some namely a certain few wanted nothing to do with them. Even tsunade experienced some disdain from the older generation, due in part the revelation that she had informed the empire about naruko but also that she married the emperor.
However they never said anything in tsunade's presence due to fear of retaliation from the blonde senju but used their businesses to try and isolate the outsiders as some had dubbed them. Naruko and tenten worked with the rookies to varying degree, gaining a good comradery with Team-10 but Team-8 and Team-7 were frosty at best, due to hinata's attitude and Team-7's arrogance, much to kakashi and kurenai's chagrin and ire. Once word reached them that Team-13 took nothing less than a C-rank missions caused it to sour very rapidly. Currently Team-13 were crouching on a ridge overlooking a large bandit camp.
"Reports put two Iwa Missing-nin named the Mountain and the Viper inside" anko signs, looking through binoculars.
"Both are considered A-rank Missing-nin with large bounties" yugao signs. Naruko slowly rises to her feet and pops her joints, "I'll use a spell to destroy the camp and flush them out" she signs.
"Fly" naruko thought and her body glows, before floating skyward. Anko, yugao and tenten slip underground using the jutsu hiding like mole as naruko hovers above the camp.
"Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" naruko thought and creates several clones, "Find the civilians and conceal them" she says and the clones cloak themselves. A few minutes pass but slowly a dark scowl forms on naruko's face, "Bastards" she hisses, receiving her clones' memories.
"Sensei.. All hostages are dead.. Orders" naruko says, touching device around her neck. The line crackles for a moment, "Wipe them out.. We don't have to hold back" anko replies. Naruko sighs with a deep breath, "Roger.. Take cover" she says and claps her hands together. She slowly brings them apart as lightning surges more and more, "Twin Maximize Magic: Chain Dragon Lightning" naruko declares. A massive surge of lightning erupts in the form a dragon speeds downward, "THOOOOOOM" as it tears through the camp. Dying screams fill the air as naruko floats down and she summons her rapier to her side.
"Hahaha.. You pretty strong Girly" a burly voice shouts. Naruko's eyes narrow as a rocky pillar crumbles down to reveal the mountain, "Taho aka the Mountain.. Missing-nin from Iwa" she says. Taho is a towering 6'8 and a mountain of muscles with brown hair and dressed in a standard iwa uniform but no sleeves.
"So Iwa sent a little girl after me.. Hahahaha" taho shouts.
"I am from Konoha" naruko says, pointing her rapier. Taho only laughs and slams his palms, sending numerous earthen spikes but naruko breaks left.
"Where is your partner.. The Viper Kazie" naruko says but taho smirks with a dark grin.
"Going after your teammates" taho sneers but naruko shakes her head, confusing the man. Suddenly a body flies pass taho in the form of a deceased kazie, his head snapped backwards but covered in tiny bite marks. Taho turns to see where kazie has come from but his chest erupts in pain, looking down he sees naruko's rapier sticking out of his chest.
"For your crimes.. You are surely damned but I will pray for you" naruko says, liberating taho's head from his body.
"This should get you two in the Bingo book" anko says, walking up with tenten and yugao. The latter slices off the head of kazie and seals both into a scroll, "You killed him before he could get going" yugao says.
"Yes.. He was strong and worth his A-class ranking.. He had Elite Jonin reserves" naruko says and summons numerous clones, "Bury the civilians and destroy the bandits' bodies" she says.
"Welp another successful mission for Team-13.. The Best of all the Rookie Genin.. Hell Team-Gai is behind us on high rank missions" anko crows.
"Isn't Gai-sensei preparing his team for the Chunin Exams in three months" tenten comments.
"True and you two should have no trouble in the exams" anko comments. The clones dispel and naruko sighs, "Civilians are buried and the bandit bodies destroyed" she says.
"Alright Team back to Konoha.. Chunin speed" anko declares and all of them vanish.
-Konoha Mission Hall-
"SASUKE-KUN DESERVES A HIGHER RANK MISSION LIKE THOSE OUTSIDERS" sakura screeches. Hiruzen smokes his pipe with a shake of his head but iruka beats him to the punch, "You are Rookie Genin.. You are not ready for higher rank missions" iruka says.
"How come Team-13 does" kiba interjects.
"Team-13 is a special case" hiruzen states. The doors open behind them as the team of the hour enters, "Hokage-sama we have returned.. Mission accomplished" yugao states, as they walk up the desk and place two scrolls. Team-7 give them some scathing glares as hiruzen look over the scrolls.
"The Mountain and Viper" hiruzen asks and anko titters.
"Yep.. Naruko killed the Mountain and Tenten killed the Viper" anko states and kakashi's book hits the floor.
"They are both A-rank Missing-nin" kakashi states and anko smirks.
"And.. These two are not ordinary Genin.. Hell they are Genin in name only" anko says. Sasuke suddenly slams his fist on the desk, "I demand a Higher rank mission to Kill a Missing-nin" he shouts. Hiruzen stares at arrogant boy, "You are not ready.. However I can give you a C-rank escort mission.. You may encounter Bandits and Highwaymen" he states.
"Iruka.. Please Fetch Tazuna" hiruzen adds and iruka rises from his seat to fetch the man in question. A few minutes later iruka returns with a grey-hair, bespectacled man with a large beard and dark eyes. He wears a sleeveless v-neck shirt with an obi, pants and a pair of sandals with a towel around his neck.
"Is this the team to escort me.. A skinny pink hair boy.. A Wet dog and some Emo" tazuna says but sees team-13, "Why can't I get them.. They look competent" he adds. Sakura is about to charge tazuna but kakashi grabs her, "Please do not harm the client" kakashi chides.
"Excuse me Sir but where do you need to be escorted" tenten asks.
"My name is Tazuna.. Super Bridge builder and I need to return to Wave country" tazuna states and naruko's eyes widen slightly.
"Hokage-sama Let my Team handle this" anko says, before the redhead could speak.
"WE GOT IT FIRST" sakura shouts. Kakashi rubs his ear with an eye-smile, "Though loud.. Sakura is correct.. Hokage-sama has chosen my team" he says and anko scoffs.
"We'll take the mission for Free" naruko states, shocking all but her team. Tazuna's eyes were wide as saucers, "Really?!" he says. Naruko turns fully to tazuna, "Yes and I can tell you are conflicted about things.. If you tell us the truth.. My team will take the mission for free no matter what it entails" she says. Hiruzen looks between naruko and tazuna, "Naruko you have grown" he thought. Tazuna sighs and take a drink from his flask, "A man named Gato has hired Ninja to kill me" he starts and pauses, "Gato came to our country a little over a year ago.. He killed our Daimyo and ran the Phenex Merchant house out of the country" he continues.
"What's the Phenex Merchant house" kiba asks.
"A Trading house from the Empire.. It has one in numerous countries to promote trade between East and West" tenten explains.
"She is right.. After that Gato strangled our country to the brink of collapse.. If I can build my bridge.. We can link with the main land.. However all we could scrape together was enough to pay for a C-rank mission" tazuna finishes.
"Hn a bunch of weaklings.. Even your people were weak to run back to empire" sasuke sneers.
"Yeah Naru-baka" sakura adds. Tazuna looks to naruko with wide eyes, "Are you from the Empire" he asks and naruko slowly nods.
"I am.. We are daughters of the Emperor" naruko replies but shocks the older man by bowing deeply.
"On behalf of my Father.. We humbly apologize for not aiding your country.. We are bound by international law.. Unless our people were harmed.. We could not act" naruko states.
"However we intend to correct that by going to Wave and liberate it.. We also apologize for the death of your Son-in-law Kaiza" tenten adds, bowing as well. Hiruzen blows a puff of smoke from his pipe, "Naruko.. This mission or any mission to Wave was an end goal for you" he asks.
"Yes.. I needed a legal means to enter Wave and rescue its people" naruko replies.
"Well it won't matter cause Konoha will not take the mission.. He clearly lied about the parameters" sakura states, in a haughty tone.
"Sakura.. Are you Hokage" hiruzen asks and sakura freezes but shakes her head, "Then you have no right to speak on what Konoha will do" he adds.
"This will a joint mission for Team-7 and 13.. It will be C-rank but subject to change upon any Missing-nin involved.. Team-13 as suggested will not be paid for this mission" hiruzen states.
"That is perfectly fine Hokage-sama.. The bounties of the Mountain and Viper will cover it" naruko states. Tazuna quickly bows to naruko and tenten, "Thank you so much" he says, shaking their hands.
"Alright Team pack for long-term mission and meet at the main gates in one hour" kakashi says and all of them nod but glare at team-13.
"All Right Gakis.. We'll meet you at the gate in an hour" anko says, as she and yugao vanish into leaf-shunshin.
"Tazuna-san how about a quick meal and you can explain the situation in greater detail" naruko says and tazuna nods, following the sisters.
"Naruko has come long way" hiruzen comments and iruka glances his way.
"How so Hokage-sama" iruka asks.
"She endeared herself Tazuna and saw through his facade.. Even decided to take the mission regardless.. She is even expanding their knowledge to plan ahead.. Naruko has a good head on her shoulder" hiruzen states.
-Senju Compound-
"What?!.. You're Married?!" echoes through the senju compound. Tsunade sits with her legs crossed and a blank look on her face as her former teammate jiraiya is sitting across her.
"How hard is that to comprehend" tsunade says. Jiraiya grips his knees with a sigh, "But.. But someone from the West" he says, almost whining.
"Not just anyone from the West.. The Emperor and Naruko-chan's father" tsunade says and jiraiya rubs his face.
"I thought Sensei was taking care of her" jiraiya says.
"I know all about your stupid prophecy.. You are lucky I convinced Mitsuomi not to kill you" tsunade says and jiraiya's eyes widen.
"Oh yeah.. Sensei lied to a ruler of a whole empire because he listened to an inane prophecy and wanted to keep the balance" tsunade explains.
"He won't kill me right" jiraiya says and tsunade shrugs her shoulders.
"Probably not but you can't be too careful.. He's coming for the Chunin Exams with my fellow sister-wives.. So if you were to peep on us" tsunade says, letting the threat hang. Jiraiya shakes his head and takes a sip of sake, "Why did you marry him" he asks.
"He opened my heart.. After Dan and Nawaki died.. My heart was closed" tsunade starts but a soft smile forms, "However Mitsuomi healed my broken heart.. He Cherishes me.. Loves me.. Didn't objectify my body like You.. He awakened me anew and I'll love him forever for it" she adds.
"Tsunade-sama.. Naruko-sama and Tenten-sama are headed out on a mission outside the village to Wave country" naberal says, appearing and bowing.
"Thank you Naberal" tsunade states and glances to jiraiya, "Don't get an ideas about your smut.. I find my likeness or any of our maids.. Mitsuomi will be the least of your worries" she says and he freezes.
-Grassy Coast-
Team-7 and 13 were making their way at a civilian's pace with the former in front and the latter in the rear. Tazuna is speaking to naruko about the conditions of wave, while sakura pesters tazuna about the mundane. Ahead of them was a lone puddle in the middle of a dry road and naruko's eyes narrow. The group passes the puddle and nothing happens but after the group is out of range. Two figures emerge from the puddle, wearing a rebreather that covers the lower half of their faces and a large, clawed, poisonous gauntlet on their right and left arms. Both also wear a camouflage suit with bandages around their waist, dark-coloured, knee-length sandals and several pouches around their waist but one has a ragged coat.
"Damn it Gozu.. Too many ninja" one says.
"I agree Meizu.. That group was too big for us" gozu says. Suddenly vines ensnare their forms, "Ahcha.. Good thing Naruko-sama asked us to shadow her" a voice says.
"Onee-chan.. Naruko-sama could handle this" another voice says. From the treeline emerge a pair of dark skin and pointed ears twins with golden hair and mismatched eyes of blue and green. One wears reddish-black dragon scale leather covered by a white and gold vest embroidered with the sigil of yggdrasil. The other wears a blue dragon scale leather full-body suit, covered by a white and gold vest embroidered with the sigil of yggdrasil and a forest green-leaf cloak with white skirt.
"Who.. Tttthh" gozu starts but both brothers slump over.
"Nice job Mare" one says and all vanish into a green magic array. Meanwhile the group reaches the shoreline as a boat is waiting for them, "Tazuna thank Kami" the boatman says but sees the large group, "I don't think I can fit all of them" he adds.
"That's fine.. Team-7 take the boat.. We'll Water-walk" anko says and kakashi glances to the sisters.
"What's Water-walking" sakura says.
"An advanced form of chakra control" naruko says, as team-7 and tazuna climb in the boat. Sakura and kiba gasp in shock as the team-13 were walking on the water with ease, "HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT?!" she shouts.
"Keep it down.. Gato has patrols" the boatman says and sakura clamps shut.
"Did you learn that in the empire" kakashi asks and tenten nods.
"Mother taught us" tenten replies. Sasuke watches them but he was seething inside, "How can they know something I don't.. I need All forms of power to Kill Him" he thought, as the boat continues on.
-Wave Country-
The group reaches wave's shore and make their way to tazuna's house but several of the group notice the thick mist. However suddenly kiba tosses a kunai into some bushes and akamaru rushes in, before a white bunny scampers out and shocking towards naruko.
"Kiba it was a rabbit" sakura chides. Naruko picks up the bunny with a glance to her senseis, "The coat is wrong" she starts but her eyes widen, "DOWN" she shouts. Yugao tackles tazuna to the ground as a large blade whizzes over their heads and embeds in a tree.
"Must be my lucky day.. A bunch of brats and oh my Kakashi no Sharingan too" a man says, landing on the handle of the sword. He is a tall and noticeably muscular man with light grayish skin, short spiky black hair, dark brown eyes, and small eyebrows. He's wearing bandages like a mask over the bottom half of his face and a forehead protector sideways on his head. He wears baggy pants with the striped pattern typical of kirigakure and mimetic wrist-warmers extending up to his elbows, with matching leg-warmers.
"Zabuza Momochi.. Team Manji formation" kakashi says but sasuke is glowering him.
"Sharingan?!" sasuke thought. Anko and yugao take up the rear behind tazuna as naruko and tenten in front, while kiba takes the left.
"Looking at the big name here.. I can see why the Demon Brothers failed" zabuza says, dropping down with his sword.
"What Demon brothers" kakashi questions and zabuza narrows his eyes but shakes his head.
"No matter.. My partner will deal with them" zabuza says but raises a ram-sign.
"Ninpo: Kirigakure no Jutsu" zabuza says and the mist becomes even thicker. Kakashi raises his hitai-ate as zabuza's laughter and KI surrounds them, "Eight Points.. Larynx.. Spine.. Lungs.. Liver.. Jugular.. Subclavian veins.. Kidneys and Heart... Which should I strike first" he sneers. The members of team-7 were shaking in fear, so much that sasuke is prepared to stab himself but kakashi stops him.
"You forgot one" naruko says, stabbing left with her rapier and killing a Mizu Bunshin of zabuza.
"The brain makes Nine" naruko says. Zabuza appear in front of kakashi with narrowed eyes, "The Redhead is good" he notes. Kakashi uses the moment of praise to spring into a furious exchange with zabuza, both matching each other's pace. However a well-placed spartan kick sends kakashi onto the lake, "Suiton: Suiro no Jutsu" zabuza says, encasing kakashi in a water prison.
"Anko.. Yugao.. Take them and Go" kakashi shouts but naruko and tenten step forward, causing zabuza to laugh.
"You little girls wanna play hero" zabuza says and creates several mizu-bunshin. Naruko points her rapier at zabuza's clones, "Tenten can you do something about this Mist" she asks. Tenten rolls her neck and cracks her knuckles, "On it Sis" she says with a weighted step forward and punches forward as a gust of wind erupts, dispelling the mist but the clones as well. Everyone stood in gob smacked shock and wide eyes, except anko and yugao as the former was laughing.
"Now then Zabuza Momochi.. I Naruko Uzumaki-Kiriyu challenge you to a duel on your honor as one of the Seven-swordsmen of Mist" naruko declares. Zabuza's eyes widen but return to normal, "Uzumaki as in the clan wiped out long ago" he says, his interest piqued.
"Yes.. My Mother was Kushina Uzumaki" naruko says, resting the tip of her rapier on the ground. Zabuza starts laughing as he releases his jutsu, "Run along to your team Kakashi.. I have better prey now" he says and points his sword.
"I.. Zabuza Momochi accept your duel.. My Kubikiribocho will enjoy taking your head" zabuza states. Naruko steps on the lake as kakashi approaches, "Are you sure about this" he asks and naruko smiles.
"I am Kakashi-sensei but be careful.. I sense two more watching and one is Kage level" naruko whispers.
"What are you doing Naru-baka?!.. Getting yourself killed" sakura shouts but naruko ignores her.
"Howler monkey shut it and watch how a Real Kunoichi fights" anko shouts. Naruko slowly picks up her speed to meet zabuza with a strike but he is pushed back, "That felt like a two-hand strike" he thought, as both jump back. Team-7 and tazuna watch in awe, shock, jealousy and anger as naruko and zabuza perform an elegant dance of death.
"No!.. I should have power like that" sasuke thought. Naruko breaks open zabuza's guard and pierces his shoulder, "Do you yield" she says. Zabuza back jumps and clutches his wounded arm, "Not yet" he shouts but naruko blinks in front of him with a slash to his chest. Zabuza staggers back and drops to one knee with his breathing heavy, "Tell me.. Who trained you with the sword" he says.
"My Father.. Mitsuomi Kiriyu" naruko says and zabuza's eyes widen.
"You're the child of the Breaker of Chains as well" zabuza says and naruko nods.
"I yield" zabuza says, bowing his head. Naruko approaches and points her rapier, "You may come out now.. Thank you respecting our duel" she shouts, shocking team-7. A tall and slender woman with auburn hair, a young man with glasses and a mask ninja appear.
"Zabuza-sama" the mask ninja says but the woman raises her hand to block the ninja.
"I am Mei Terumi and this is Haku and Chojuro" the woman says. Mei wears a long-sleeve, dark blue dress that falls just below the knees. The dress only covers up to the upper part of her arms and the underside of her breasts. Underneath, she wears a mesh armour that covers slightly more of her upper body than her dress. She also wears a skirt in the same colour as her dress and, underneath those, mesh leggings reaching down over her knees with high-heeled sandals and shin-guards reaching up over her knees.
"Don't harm him" haku says and wears a pinstriped outfit which stops at the knees. Over this is a green haori with white trimmings, and around the waist a brown sash with a fringed trail wrapped around twice, with light-brown platoon sandals with straps in the same colour as the kimono.
"Greeting and don't hurt Senpai" chojuro says, dressed in a blue pin-striped shirt and camouflage pattern pants.
"Will you surrender peacefully.. On my name as an Uzumaki you will not be harmed" naruko says and mei's eyes widen.
"Uzumaki?!" mei asks and naruko nods.
"The Terumi were a branch of the Uzumaki clan.. We fled after the fall of Uzushio and hid ourselves in Kiri.. Could you truly related to Kushina Uzumaki" mei adds and naruko nods.
"That would make us cousins" mei states.
"Tenten" naruko shouts and she shunshins next to her sister, "Can you heal Zabuza" she says.
"Tell me.. Why would you work for someone like Gato" naruko asks. Mei glances down at zabuza, "Money to raise forces to liberate Kiri from the Tyrannical reign of the Yondaime Mizukage.. We had succeeded but we were betrayed and forced to flee" she explains.
"The little bastard offered us a lot of money" zabuza says and groans, as tenten heals him.
"Did you aid Gato in destroying the Phenex Merchant House" naruko asks, a serious look on her face.
"No it happened before we arrived here in Wave" haku comments and removes their mask, revealing a young woman. Zabuza gets to his feet with a roll of his shoulder, "You won our duel.. My life is yours" he says.
"Then help me kill Gato and Free Wave country" naruko states.
"Thats a nice sentiment Gaki but we need the little Fucker" zabuza says.
"That may be true but we can offer you a better deal.. A chance to do some good in a dark world" naruko says.
"Just who are you Gaki.. Child of the Red Death and Breaker of Chains" zabuza states.
"I am a Genin of Konoha but I am also the Dai-yon Princess of the Yggdrasil empire" naruko states and shocks them, "So will you assist me.. The Empire could fund your liberation of Kiri" she adds. Mei pinches her nose with a shake of head, "Kiri is a lost cause.. It's like something has driven the whole nation insane" she states. Naruko's eyes narrow and saved that information for later, "I see.. Then I offer you the protection of the Empire.. This way you will sheltered from Hunter-nin and the like" she says.
"Why are being so generous.. Hime" zabuza says, seeing kakashi keeping his team back.
"You have inadvertently given me a member of my clan.. So for that I am grateful.. So will accept my offer" naruko says and extends her hand. Zabuza slowly reaches out and shakes naruko's hand, "We'll help you Gaki" he says. Naruko smiles warmly with a slow nod of her head, "That's great.. Tenten and I will meet you at your base two hours after sunset" she says.
"Oh Associates of mine captured those Demon brothers you mentioned.. Unfortunately they were planning to betray you.. I'll bring them to you to face judgment" naruko adds. Zabuza and his group vanish into water-shunshin as the sisters make their way back to their charge.
"WHAT DID YOU LET THEM ESCAPE NARU-BAKA?!" sakura screeches. Naruko ignores sakura and turns to kakashi, "Zabuza and his group have agreed to help us with Gato in exchange for asylum in the Empire" she states and sakura glowers her.
"Is that wise Naruko" kakashi asks.
"I am a sensor and I can sense negative emotions as well.. Also one thing my father taught me is that today's enemy can be tomorrow's ally" naruko replies.
"So he won't kill me" tazuna says and naruko nods.
"Correct.. Within a few days Gato will be distant memory" naruko says. Kakashi takes a step but loses his balance and naruko catches him, "It seems you hae Chakra exhaustion" she says and kakashi slowly nods.
"Tazuna-san how far is you house" naruko asks. Tazuna quickly leads them to his home but sasuke was glowering our red hair princess, "Just you wait.. I'll order the council to make you teach me all your secrets" he thought. The house resembles a ocean side inn, "Tsunami I am home" tazuna shouts. A young woman with long blue-color hair, dressed in a short-sleeve pink shirt with the end of the sleeves and the collar being red in colour. She also wears a long blue skirt and carrying a young boy about two years old.
"Father.. You're back.. Thank Kami" tsunami says.
"These are the ninja I hired and these two are from the Empire" tazuna says, as yugao and anko helps kakashi upstairs.
"Tsunami-san.. I want to apologize on behalf of the empire.. Your husband's death deeply saddens my father and I swear His death will not be in vain" naruko says, bowing. Tsunami stood silent with her young son inari in her arms but promptly slaps naruko across the face, "Then why didn't your people save him then?!" she says, with a heated look on her face. Naruko keep her face turned from the slap as sasuke and sakura smirk with haughty looks on their face, "Serves you right" sakura says.
"Ma'am.. The Empire is bound by international law and rules of engagement.. I know this will sound harsh but since Gato didn't harm anyone on our side.. The empire couldn't act and he took advantage of that" tenten explains.
"So then now you show up to save the day.. Kaiza believed in the empire and he died because it" tsunami says, leaving in a huff. Naruko sighs with a shake of head and heads for the door, "Where are you going Naru-baka" sakura says.
"I'm going check on the Phenex house" naruko states and tenten follows her, leaving team-7 to their devices.
"She was wrong" tenten says but naruko shakes her head.
"I don't blame her for what she said" naruko comments. The pair pick up their speed to find the phenex house, finding it not far outside the main part of the town. The building is a warehouse near the shore with a medium size dock but it was partially destroyed, "Who was stationed here" tenten asks.
"No one of great note due to the size of the country" naruko says, pushing open the door. The pair slip in and search the warehouse, "Completely ransacked" naruko says, finding an array on the ground. She pulls a pair of white gloves from her pouch with a alchemic symbols on them, before clapping her hands and slamming it on the array. Lightning crackles through the array and the warehouse is completely repaired and reinforced, "We'll need to divert a few shipments from Mizu for the time being" naruko states.
"Tsunami's words hit you hard" tenten comments and naruko shakes her head.
"To an extent but I can see her side of things" naruko says. She touches her ear and an orange magic circle forms, "Message... Can you hear me Kuroka" she says.
"Loud and clear Hime-nyaa" kuroka states and naruko shakes her head.
"I need to divert the shipment from Mizu no Kuni to Wave.. Also I have heard some disturbing news about Mizu as well" naruko states.
"I sense dark forces in this land-nyaa.. The people are acting strange.. Shirone notices it as well" kuroka states. Naruko folds her right arm under her left, "I see.. For now we'll temporarily close the Mizu house but leave the shipments to the people.. Have our people transfer to Wave for now.. Also contact Ruval-san about the change and the circumstance" she states.
"On your orders Hime-nyaa.. We'll arrive with a week through normal channels to avoid suspicion.. By your leave Hime" kuroka says and naruko cuts the message.
"Aura.. Mare" naruko says and the twins appear with the bound gozu and meizu.
"Hello Princess Naruko" mare says, shyly.
"How may we help you" aura states. Naruko folds her arms with a glance to the bound men, "I need the two of you to guard the house.. I suspect once Gato's men see the house rebuilt.. He'll send people to destroy it.. If any attack.. Kill them and send their bodies to Demiurge" she says and both bow.
-Zabuza's Hideout-
Mei sits with her legs crossed and a cup of tea in her hand, their mood was sour as gato had come to berate them on not killing tazuna. Zabuza had threatened the troll of man and he backed off but declared to pay them less for each day tazuna lived. Suddenly a orange array with a whirlpool sigil appears on the floor, causing them to go on guard. However naruko and tenten with the bound demon brothers rise out of it.
"Is that Fuinjutsu at work" mei questions but naruko shakes her head.
"No but something similar" naruko replies, tossing gozu and meizu down. The two brothers were awake and look at zabuza and mei with frightened eyes, "Got something to say" zabuza says.
"We're tired of running and Gato offered more money than can count" gozu shouts. Zabuza grabs his sword and swiftly beheads both brothers, "Thanks for bringing them back" he says and rubs his head, "So what's the plan" he adds. Naruko folds her arms as tenten seals the heads of the demon brothers into a scroll, before creating a clone to dispose of the remains.
"I need to know the layout of Gato's base and force strength.. Any other Missing-nin" naruko states.
"None that we have seen but he could hire some" mei states.
"He lives in the Daimyo's residence and has fortified it" zabuza says. Naruko cups her chin in thought, "He seems the type to horde money and uses the control of the shipping lanes to his advantage" she says.
"Meaning He won't pay Zabuza and his team.. More than likely sell them out to Kirigakure" tenten notes and zabuza growls.
"Fucking Troll" zabuza hisses.
"Then we'll need to work fast.. Tomorrow I'll get a rough layout and we'll assault him after sunset" naruko says.
"Sure about that Gaki.. Don't you have to consult your fellow Konoha shinobi" zabuza asks but naruko shakes her head.
"No this is an Empire Matter.. He has besmirched my home and for that He deserves only death for his affront" naruko says, with a dark look on her face.
"Damn Gaki.. I think I'll like working with you" zabuza states.
"How do you wish us to act Naruko" mei asks.
"Just continue as normal.. No need to tip him off.. I'll send a signal for when the mission begins" naruko says and both prompty burst into smoke, revealing they were clones.
"Um Zabuza-sama.. You mentioned that Naruko-chan's parents were the Breaker of Chains and Red Death" haku states.
"Kushina Uzumaki was the granddaughter of Uzushio's Daimyo and a Heroine of the Third Shinobi War" mei starts, glancing to her young lover chojuro.
"Her old man singlehandedly fought both the Yonbi and Gobi of Iwa.. His name can be spoken in the same breath as the Yellow-Flash and Wicked-Eye" zabuza finishes, shocking their young charges.

Naruko and tenten open their eyes on the roof of the merchant house, "That went well" naruko says, as they get to their feet.
"We may not have to send for Lakyus and the others.. Mei is Kage level and Zabuza is high-class" tenten comments, as they leap off the roof and return to tazuna's house.
"True but we'll station some forces here as well but that leaves the Daimyo situation.. Either the Shinsengumi or Oniwaban" naruko states. The house comes into view as the sisters touch down and open the door, "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!" sakura screeches.
"Pipe down Bitch" anko snaps, scaring the pinkette.
"We checked on the Phenex House and coordinated with Zabuza.. The two of us will be assaulting Gato's compound" naruko explains.
"You're leaving us out this" kiba says and naruko nods, infuriating team-7.
"You're team is guarding Tazuna and his Family.. We will deal with the source of the threat.. Anko-sensei.. Yugao-sensei is that choice to your liking.. I know we'll be excluding you from this but Gato has besmirched the Empire" tenten states and anko smirks.
"Naw.. You two can handle it.. We'll catch any stragglers in town" anko says and the sisters nod.
"We're going with you" sasuke says but naruko shakes her head.
"No.. Have you taken a life Sasuke or any of team-7.. This is not about saving princesses or being heroes.. Gato has brought this nation to near collapse.. Murdered many for his own greed.. Including the Daimyo and his family" naruko explains.
"How do you know that" kiba states. Naruko kneels down to pet akamaru, "After our teams parted in Konoha.. I spoke to Tazuna and he gave me the general events of things here" she explains.
"Gaki's right.. Your team is So not ready for a killing mission.. None of you know the Weight of a life.. The fact Kakashi took you on this mission without taking you on a Bandit Kill to Wet your hands is concerning" anko states, as team-7 glare at her in vain.
"So the mighty Empire will descend from heaven to save us lowly peasants.. How Noble" tsunami comments, coming down the stairs. Naruko shakes her head and ignores tsunami but the older woman roughly turns the younger, "What do you know of Suffering" tsunami says. Tenten clenches her fist but naruko raises her hand, "What happened to your Husband is something that could not have been foreseen but for you to have the gall to say I know nothing of suffering" naruko starts.
"Your father is the Ruler of the Empire.. You have had a life of luxury since your birth" tsunami says but naruko shakes her head.
"I did not know my heritage until Eight years ago.. Before that I suffered at the hands of the people of Konohagakure.. My mother died shortly after my birth and Those that rule Konoha saw fit to lie to my father and say I was dead as well.. For eight years I was a magnet for the people's anger for something I had no control over" naruko continues but pauses.
"I was kicked out of an orphanage at the age of four.. Subject to beatings.. Stoning.. Even some suggested Raping me for their amusement.. I was seven at the time.. So I do know suffering but I do not wallow in it as you seem to be doing.. I will hold my head high and try make Wave a better place than I found it" naruko finishes and excuses herself, as tenten follows her. Tsunami covers her mouth and turns to the others, "That was not true" she says.
"That was a tame version.. I was one of Naruko's guards.. Someone tried to kill her not two hours after she was born.. She has had more assassinations attempts than Rulers of countries.. The actions of the many have scarred her but she didn't let it drag her down and she picked herself to become the strong young woman she is now" yugao says, excusing herself to check on naruko. She only finds tenten in their shared room, "She's going get some air" sakura says.
"Tsunami-san will want to apologize" yugao comments but tenten shakes her head.
"She doesn't need to.. Her husband was killed and our inaction allowed it" tenten says.

Naruko lands on the roof of the warehouse with her gaze on the night sky, before taking a seat on the roof. She reaches in her pouch and pulls out a light blue orb, before channeling some of her magic. The orb glows and a small projection of mitsuomi forms, "Hello Father" naruko says.
"Hello.. You look down" mitsuomi says, concerned. Naruko sighs with a shake of her head, "Nothing I can't handle.. We are in Wave" she says.
"How was the house" mitsuomi states.
"Destroyed but I rebuilt it and reinforced it with Alchemy.. Luckily the array was intact.. I contacted Kuroka and will have her divert a shipment here.. I also closed the Mizu house after learning some information" naruko explains and mitsuomi slowly nods, urging her to continue.
"It seems something is happening in Mizu.. Kuroka and Shirone sense a darkness there.. A Mei Terumi informed us that their rebellion to free Kirigakure failed as they were betrayed.. They fled and are working for Gato but I have swayed them our side" naruko states. Mitsuomi cups his chin thought, "The Terumi are an offshoot of the Uzumaki" he notes.
"Yes.. Mei is Mother's cousin and I'm sure she'll be happy to know someone from our clan is still alive" naruko states and mitsuomi nods.
"Anything else of major note" mitsuomi asks and naruko slowly nods.
"I met Kaiza-san's wife and she very upset with the Empire" naruko says. Mitsuomi frowns with a sigh, "I can come to Wave to meet with her" he says.
"No need.. I will handle it" naruko says. Mitsuomi slowly nods with a smile, "Alright.. Now as your motormouth mother would ask.. Are you eating well.. Getting plenty of rest and the like" he asks. Naruko smiles warmly and nods her head, "Yes I am but what about you.. Are you gorging yourself on Ramen" she says. Mitsuomi rubs his head sheepishly, "No I limit myself to one gorging per week.. Hehe.. I even have Erza on my side now and Irene is begrudgingly trying it" he says and naruko laughs.
"I see.. Well I should head back.. Oh I'll need Aoshi and his Oniwaban to guard the merchant as well as Saito's Shinsengumi" naruko states.
"I will send them soon.. Take care sweetie.. Love you and give Tenten my love too" mitsuomi says and naruko smiles.
"Love you too Dad" naruko says, as the projection ceases. Naruko rises to her feet with a pop of her joints, "Your stealth is impressive" she says, glancing back to haku.
"I did not mean to interrupt but Mei-sama asked me to give you this" haku says and hands naruko a scroll.
"What is it" naruko asks.
"I am not sure.. Mei-sama said it was an heirloom of the Uzumaki clan" haku replies. Naruko slips the scroll in her pouch, "Thank you Haku and give my thanks to Mei" she says. Haku bows and vanishes into snow flurries as naruko stares in awe, "Hyoton but natural" she thought, vanishing a swirl of wind. Naruko reaches the house and quietly enters, sensing a few of the others were sleeping.
"Tsunami wasn't always like that" tazuna says, sitting in a chair. Naruko makes her way to him and takes a seat, "She lost her husband.. I don't blame her for her anger" she says.
"Kaiza was a good man.. A Hero.. After Gato took over and ran your people out.. He stood up for the people" tazuna starts and clenches his fist, "And that bastard crucified him to be a message to us" he adds. Naruko places her hand over his, "Then I'll do the same to him.. Gato will know Our Fury.. Such is our family motto.. Ours is the Fury!" she states. Naruko bids tazuna good night but he was unaware tsunami was listening, hoping naruko was right.
-Next Day-
Team-7 and the sisters were in a clearing near tazuna's house, while anko and yugao guard tazuna. The sisters were wearing black and gray tights respectively with sports bras, causing kiba to gawk seeing tenten's abs and naruko's breasts.
"Look away dog breath" tenten says, wrapping her fists. Kakashi claps his hands to get his team's attention, "Alright since Team-13 has decided to deal with the threat.. We are going to train by climbing trees" he says.
"We know how to climb trees" sakura says, matter-of-factly. Tenten shakes her head and walks towards a tree, "Kakashi-sensei means this Sakura" she says, walking up the tree and shocking the pinkette.
"Kakashi-sensei.. You are now only teaching them Tree-walking" naruko chides and kakashi has the decency to look embarrassed.
"Well I plan to rectify that.. Now as Tenten has shown.. This a Chakra control exercise known as Tree-walking.. You channel chakra to your feet to stick to any surface.. Too much and you'll be blown back and too little.. You won't make it up" kakashi explains, showing them again. Naruko and tenten leave team-7 and head towards the beach, "Sakura will get it first.. Her reserves are miniscule" tenten notes and naruko nods, beginning their stretches. Naruko and tenten quickly begin a light spar with punches, kicks, elbows, shins and locks. A half hour passes and the sisters return to the clearing, finding sakura on a high branch but sasuke was having trouble. Kiba is getting the hang of it and akamaru is under a tree sleeping.
"How are things Kakashi-sensei" naruko asks. Kakashi look up from his book, "Sakura got it on her first try but that because of her reserves.. Kiba is coming along with trial and error.. Sasuke well" he says. Tenten could see the frustration in sasuke's mannerisms, "He's tense" she says.
"We'll leave you to it" naruko says, leaping off into the forest. She quickly makes two dozen clones and with a mental order, and they scatter towards gato's base.
"Sasuke will no doubt hamper things" tenten says and naruko slowly nods.
"He always will be.. The village has inflated his ego.. Despite not having his Sharingan" naruko says, as they reach tazuna. Tsunami was stepping out as they arrive and the older woman halts in her tracks, "Naruko-san I..." she starts but naruko holds up her hand.
"You do not have to apologize.. Your words were true but we intend to rectify that" naruko says.
"Our is the Fury" tsunami says and naruko nods.
"You were listening.. Yes it's our family's motto" naruko says and points to the dragon sigil on her left arm. Tsunami admires the tattoo and tenten points to the same on her upper back, "The Dragon is your family crest" tsunami questions.
"It is.. It represents my Grandmother Ophis and Grandfather Shishio.. The Infinity Dragon Goddess and The Dragon of Dragons.. The Great Red" naruko explains, shocking tsunami.
"Such a Lineage" tsunami say and tenten nods.
"Indeed.. You wouldn't believe the story behind it" tenten says. The sisters follow tsunami back into the house and inari is sleeping on the sofa, "I've been so angry lately" tsunami says.
"Understandable.. Your husband and father to your son was killed by scum of the earth.. He will feel our Fury" tenten comments. Tsunami makes them some lunch and the redhead got to play with inari, which was akin to her brother millicas and the twins' first years.
"Are you the only children of the Emperor" tsunami asks.
"We have four older siblings and three younger siblings with the youngest being four years old" tenten says and naruko nods.
"Our older brother is crown prince" naruko says.
"His twin sister will more than likely be his Shield of the King and our other sisters will handle various things" tenten says.
"What will the two of you do.. You have no place to claim the throne" tsunami says, taking inari from naruko.
"I intend to revive my mother's Ancestral homeland of Uzushio and become its Ruler or rather Duchess" naruko says.
"I'll be her Right hand" tenten adds. Tsunami tilts her head with a slow nod, "You seem to know where you are going" she says and the sisters nod. The day continues on and naruko receives the memories of her clones, allowing the sisters to plan out their attack.

Naruko and tenten land on a branch, both dress in traditional shinobi attire and covering for naruko's vibrant hair. They indeed had trouble with team-7 or mainly sakura and sasuke but naruko remedied that by using a sleep spell on them.
"Quality or Quantity" tenten signs. Naruko pulls the cloth from her mouth with a grin on her face as they slip on their fox and wolf mask. Naruko makes a familiar cross shape sign and numerous smoke-less clones appear and vanish. Two guards stood at the gate but one narrows his eyes as a thick mist starts to roll in. However before he could utter a word, his mouth his grabbed and a kunai rammed into his throat. The other fares no better as senbon litter his head, before both are dragged underground as numerous black blurs enter the compound.
The real naruko and tenten leap over the gate and make their way to the main house under an invisibility spell. The sounds of fighting start to catch naruko's ears as they take out mercenaries guarding the ground. Several were fighting off bats but they soon form into tenten but she quickly shifts into a white wolf, tearing through the guards and absorbing the blood from their bodies.
"She's a demon" one cries, before tenten chomps on his neck. Meanwhile zabuza and his group were preparing themselves when a clone of naruko appears.
"Mission is a go.. We are assaulting the compound" the clones and pops in a puff smoke. Zabuza rests his kubikiribocho on his shoulder, "Well you heard our new boss.. Hop to" he says and they quickly exit his base.
"I'll head to the compound.. Chojuro go with Zabuza" mei says and chojuro nods, following his senpai. At the same time gato abruptly awakens to the rumble and explosions, "What the Hell.. Zori.. Waraji" he shouts. His loyal bodyguards quickly enter but are quickly felled by knives to the head.
"Gato.. Owner of Gato Shipping" naruko says, walking in with her mask off. Gato grabs his cane with a glare on his face, "Who the Fuck are you" he shouts.
"I am from the Empire of Yggdrasil" naruko says and a sneer forms on gato's face.
"What.. Finally want revenge" gato says.
"You may have taken advantage of International law to force our Merchant house to close but not longer" naruko states. Gato scoffs with a smirk on his face, "That's right and you can't touch me.. I bet that stupid Emperor sent you without knowing that" he says but his eyes widen in horror. Naruko with her KI leaking and her dragon blood coming to bear, "You would be wise to not say another thing about my Father" she says, edging forward. Gato backs up in fright and falls on his rear, "Look.. S-spare me.. I can help your father.. I can give you anything" he shouts. Naruko points her rapier with her eyes glowing in the shadows, "Can you turn back time.. Can you bring Kaiza back to his wife and son" she says.
"That Fucking Fisher..." gato starts but the rest is lost, as naruko's rapier thrusts into his mouth and out the back on his head. Gato chokes on his blood and his eyes roll back in his head as his gurgling death rattles echoes. Naruko flicks the blood off her rapier as mei enters the room, "You work fast and efficiently" mei says.
"Aku Soku Zan.. Slay Evil immediately" naruko says and creates a clones, "Take the body to the square and display him like he did Kaiza-san" she says.
"Are Zabuza and the others dealing with the stragglers" naruko says, heading for gato's office.
"Yes but I doubt they will be any trouble" mei says, as naruko opens the door. Naruko looks around the room and spies a large portrait of a naked woman, removing the portrait reveals a safe.
"Do you know the combination" mei asks but naruko places her head on the safe and uses her sensitive hearing to discern it. The safe opens and naruko glances back, "No need" she says, finding numerous documents.
"More than likely deeds to many of the businesses" naruko says, placing them on the desk. Mei looks through a few papers, "Using his shipping lanes to squeeze the country dry and force the people to lose their livelihoods" she notes.
"Indeed but now Wave is free but the work has only just begun" naruko comments, as the pair sort through the deeds. Morning soon comes for the citizens of wave and a crowd gathers in the town square, "Is this real.. It's not possible.. Are we truly free" several whisper. Before them was gato crucified in the same manner that kaiza was the year prior.
"Citizens of Wave.. I give you the Monster that has Tormented you.. Taken from you.. Brought your country to brink of collapse.. Look upon him and see that you are now Free" naruko shouts, behind the crowd.
"Who are you" one man asks.
"I am Naruko Uzumaki-Kiriyu.. Dai-yon Princess of the Yggdrasil Empire.. I know that many of you believe that the Empire has failed you but I assure that was not the case.. I am here to reignite our bonds of friendship.. In a few days a shipment of aid and people to defend you from the tyranny of others" naruko declares. Zabuza and mei stood behind the redhead and her sister, "The kid knows how to whoo the people" he says.
"I would agree with ya.. The Gaki has seen the worse of humanity and still stands with her head held high" anko says, walking up with yugao. Team-7's genin were standing with shock from kiba, jealousy and anger from sasuke and his pet. Naruko and tenten quickly pass out the deeds found in gato's vault and about three quarters of the man's fortune, give the remaining one-fourth to zabuza and his group to defend wave. Many of the people cheer for for them, which in turn infuriates sasuke and his loyal minion.
"Damn this Bitch.. She has so much power.. I need that sort of power to Kill Itachi.. Perhaps I should do what those Elders said" sasuke thought.
-One Week Later-
A week passes and wave is starting to heal from gato's infection, stores filling with supplies from gato's warehouses. Zabuza and his group patrol for any former gato mercenaries, with mei getting to know her cousin and showing off her young lover. The young swordsmen blushed constantly but swore to defend mei with his life. Tension between team-7 and team-13 lessened slightly as kiba started to get to know them, while sasuke and sakura's hatred grew. Currently naruko and tenten were waiting for the shipment from mizu to be unloaded, "I think I will get a Ninken" tenten comments, looking over the manifest. Naruko tilts her head and rubs her chin, "Me too.. Akamaru is so cute" she says.
"Princess-Nyaa" a voice chirps. The sisters softly laugh as kuroka and her younger sister shirone approach with two men. Kuroka is a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure, long black hair with split bangs, and hazel-gold eyes with cat-like pupils. Shirone is a petite girl with white hair and hazel eyes, "Hello Naruko-chan.. Panda-chan" she says, her voice soft.
"Hello Shirone.. Thank you both for coming on short notice" naruko says, hugging the smaller girl and tenten does the same.
"We come as called Princess.. We'll have everything unloaded and prepared to distribute in no time-nyaa" kuroka says. The men bow deeply at the waist, "We are at your service Princess" both said and naruko bows as well.
"Thank you Saito-taicho and Aoshi-san" naruko says. Saito is a rather tall man with a lean but fit frame and a long face with pronounced cheekbones and tear-troughs. His eyes are piercing and narrow while yellow in color and his short black hair is neatly slicked back with the exception of four bangs over his forehead. He wears a black police uniform with a black hoari with the name shinsengumi on the back.
Aoshi is tall and lean with a handsome face, ice blue eyes and short black hair cut neatly in back but with a distinctive fringe of permed bangs falling in front of his face and parted in the center. He wears a deep blue, collarless short-sleeve dress shirt with a goldenrod trim, matching deep blue slacks and shiny black dress shoes.
"Where do you want us stationed" aoshi asks. Naruko sighs and folds her arms, "We'll have you at the former Daimyo residence.. He and his Family were murdered.. I do not know if he has relatives but being this is small country" she explains.
"Have you chosen someone to replace him for the interim" saito comments but naruko slowly shakes her head.
"Why not you Princess.. A test run for Uzushio" kuroka states but again naruko shakes her head.
"I have obligations to Konoha.. I don't need certain elements going behind my back and draining this country for their own gains" naruko says.
"Maybe we can convince Tazuna to take over" tenten suggests and naruko adopts as thinking, pose as they head towards the residence.
"It could be possibility" naruko states.
"How long will we be stationed here Princess" saito asks and naruko glances his way.
"More than likely a lengthy amount of time.. If you are able.. Build a militia to defend the village.. They should not have to rely on us" naruko replies.
-Unknown Location-
A man sits upon a stone throne, his long black hair tied in a pony-hawk style. He has a broad nose, eyes with large black irises that seem to blend with the pupil, and slightly pale skin and a diamond-shape mark on his chin. Below his left eye, is a tattooed Roman numeral IV and he's dressed in a flowing white robe with black vertical lines on the sleeves, and coattails, loosely fastened at the waist with a tasselled belt, with matching red hair tie, hairband, collar, waistband, bracers, and pants, all decorated with red pearl studs, and simple sandals.
"Must I repeat myself yet again Delta" the man says, his legs crossed.
"His daughters are there for the taking" delta says, her arms folded. She has long, curly, blonde hair and light-brown eyes, with vertical lines running through her pupils and irides. She has a green tattoo of the Roman numeral for one on the center of her forehead and wears a yellow lipstick and matching nail polish on her fingernails. She wears a black and red cloak and a turquoise outfit with an exposed heart shape cut-out on her back, triangle shape cut-out bishop sleeves, a triangle shape cut-out on her chest, white wrist cuffs, red triangle earrings, with black and red striped tights, and long white high-heeled shinobi sandals.
"Jigen is right Delta.. If his highness' children are harmed.. It would bring the entire Yggdrasil Empire upon us" another man says, standing to delta's right. He's a tall man with long white hair which he keeps in a topknot, allowing some to fall to his shoulders, along with a trimmed beard along his jawline. He wears a mask which conceals the top-half of his face, along with the black hooded robe with maroon lining. Beneath his robes, a long maroon coat with a row of buttons on the right side, with black pants and boots.
"Koji is correct.. I not ready to fight the Emperor" jigen says. Delta clenches her fists in rage, "Do you fear the Emperor... Father" she hisses. Jigen sits up straighter with a serious look, "I fear no Man daughter but the Emperor is no man.. He is a Dragon.. A living embodiment of the Storm.. Fury given form and reason" he states.
"Again a valid statement.. Once the Jubi is reformed.. Then the Emperor can be fought" koji says but delta scoffs.
"I will show you He can brought down" delta says, turning on her heels.
"She will fail" koji says. Jigen rises from his throne and walks down the several steps, "Delta's Hubris will be her undoing.. Facing the Emperor will be humbling experience" he says.
"He may arrive for Konoha's Chunin Exams and taken the Kyubi out of play.. Thus it is loss for us" koji states.
"Indeed.. The Emperor is not foolish.. The Kyubi was a mindless beast and needed to be put down but the lost is not great" jigen starts and koji arches an eyebrow.
"A boy in Hi-no-kuni's Fire Temple houses chakra from the Kyubi similar to the Gold and Silver Brothers of Kumo.. So all is not lost" jigen adds, stepping out onto a balcony with koji.
"So we'll need to keep using the Akatsuki and this pretender for our goal" koji says. Jigen pins his soulless black eyes on koji, "Indeed.. Once the Jubi is reformed.. I will have the Power to face the Illustrious Dragon King" he says, as a loud roaring erupts. Jigen and koji look down towards a massive monstrosity with a black, crag-covered mountain of scales and hide. The head is a spade-like terror spiked with cruel red eyes that shine with a frightening malevolence with rivulets of lava and magma visible beneath the great wyrm's scorched scales.
TBC
AN-2: I decided to stop here and give a decent cliffhanger and build the world slightly, revealing Momoshiki's son Jigen, his daughter Delta and the mysterious Koji. Now they will not be playing a factor anytime soon, as you remember Jigen is the Black Zetsu of this story. Whispering in the ear of many to attain his goal of the Jubi. He is part celestial being and part Demon, the same for Delta as she will similar to Jugo's clan for transformation wise but more controlled.

Prologue Part Four(Final Part): The first to join under his banner was the Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown. Ainz saw the power Mitsuomi wielded but also saw the care he showed his people and his enemies that surrendered. Ainz became mitsuomi's Hand of the King but that would evolve in the Shield of the King. The pair spent the next forty years fighting and liberating the kingdoms, slowly creating an Empire.
They achieved peace at the beginning of the Shinobi villages in the East. Both were curious about the east and mitsuomi started to makes moves to travel east to see their lives and perhaps help as he had done in the past with Hagoromo and Hamura. Mitsuomi and isane made their way east over the wall, leaving ainz to rule the empire in his stead.
The east had come long way from when he was here last, Ninshu became Ninjutsu and people were relegated to their countries with five nations coming out at the top. Suna in Wind, Kumo in Lightning, Iwa in Earth, Kiri in Water and the largest Konoha in Fire. Husband and wife traveled to each country and many of the smaller ones, learning much but one thing raised the ire of the kaguya in his wife.
Hagoromo had risen to a God for stopping the Jubi and bringing peace, while Kaguya was a vilified. Kaguya nearly surfaced in Isane but mitsuomi kept her from breaking free. The pair continued their travels but soon returned west as the First shinobi war started.
Time passed and a new generation rose in the empire isane gave birth to two children named Mitsukuni and Yukiko. Ophis blessed her grandchildren and retreated to Frozen Tomb to watch over it and enjoy the silence. Ainz had a son with his wife Albedo named Diablo, who becomes rivals with mitsukuni.
Mitsuomi took a second wife name Irene Belserion a young dragon and eventually had a daughter name Erza Scarlet, being a pure dragon unlike her older siblings. Erza could take a dragon form, while her sibling gained dragon scales on their bodies but each had dragon partners.
Mitsuomi would often travel to the East and they were embroiled in war but he did return with a third wife named Yoruichi Shihouin from Lightning and her adopted daughter Shaolin or Soifon. Mitsuomi used his magic and Youki to turn both into Yokai. Yoruichi into a Nekoshou and Soifon into a nekomata Yokai.
Time continued to pass and the Empire continued to evolve with a Renaissance of ideas and modern amenities, even opening trade with the east as the Third Shinobi War started.
Mitsuomi had traveled east once again and could feel a darkness under the surface but could never pinpoint its source. However in his travels he met a spirited young woman named Kushina Uzumaki and a trusted friend Minato Namikaze. Mitsuomi was actually drawn into the war as Kumo and Iwa shinobi mistook him for a Konoha shinobi.
He earned the name Breaker of Chains and Tamer of Beasts as he defeated the Jinchuriki of the Gobi and Yonbi of Iwa. However many in Konoha viewed him like Kushina as outsider but more so when he revealed he was from the West but leaving out he was the King. Kushina and minato did not shun him like many in Konoha, endearing both him as friends and soon lovers with kushina.
She told him she was the Jinchuriki of the Kyubi no Kitsune but mitsuomi noticed the seal was turning her into a Kyubi Yokai. This shocked kushina but mitsuomi told her she would have a place in the West should she need. Mitsuomi soon confessed to both that he was a dragon and his titles in the west, shocking both.
Both were impressed that mitsuomi didn't brag about his titles and was just and fair ruler of his Empire. Eventually minato was named Yondaime Hokage and Kushina became mitsuomi's wife, before announcing she was pregnant but by this time she was full kitsune yokai. However tragedy would strike and separate father and child.
