Chapter 15

(Konoha)

"Kushina went WHERE!?" Minato said with wide eyes facing, Jiraiya and Kakashi as the two had told Minato exactly where Kushina went as they stopped by some local villages that kushina stopped at as one of the villages had told them that Kushina was looking for directions to go to the west.

The west was something that no shinobi has ever gone too in the elemental nations. Rumor has it that the west is very, very far away and much far different then the elemental nations itself.

But to both Jiraiya's and Minato's horror in realization is that Kushina. Probably overheard them.. About sealing Hachishakusama away in a jizo seal and about her location, plus the recent discussion about Naruto. Which explains how she could possibly know where Naruto is.

"Kakashi you are dismissed. Please check on Naruko and Menma." Minato commanded his student who nodded leaving him alone with the toad sage.

"Kushina... Knows.." Minato says knowing how upset his wife is when she probably overheard him mention about Locking Naruto away in prison and seal off his chakra.

"And she's no doubt in the west looking for him already and possibly Hachishakusama." Jiraiya added.

"What can we do? I don't want to lose her Jiraiya. The kids are already stressed that Kushina left, we have to get her back." Minato looks up at his sensei from his desk.

"How should I know? You know as well as I do that Kushina is stubborn and will not listen to reason to me. Not to mention she hates my guts blaming us for what happened to Naruto, she should share the blame too." Jiraiya answered.

"Go to the West Jiraiya and find her, take a platoon of Anbu" Minato says with Jiraiya looking at him as if to say go into iwa and kill the Tscuhikage on a suicide mission.

"Are you crazy? That's not going to be enough to bring Kushina back, she will kick my ass including the Anbu. Plus you want me to go to the west?" Jiraiya says with clear shock in his voice.

"We don't even know what the west is like though?" he added.

"If Kushina was able to reach to the west then I know you can. I'm assigning a task force to go with you on this Kushina retrieval mission. I'm assigning Yugao, Hana Inuzuka Tsunade and Shisui Uchiha, with you and your platoon of Anbu to bring Kushina back." Minato says with seriousness in his voice.

"Try to reason with her. The reason I assigned Tsunade with you is because I believe she can probably talk some sense into Kushina." Minato added

"And what if Kushina can't be reasoned with?" Jiraiya asked folding his arms with Minato sighing.

He hoped it didn't have to come to this. But kushina has to come back and see her other children. Can't she see that or the very least understand that? Naruto is... Is a lost cause. His jealousy and anger for his siblings is what drove him on this path of vengeance with Hachishakusama.

"If you can't change her mind or get her to listen to reason. Use force if necessary. I didn't want to do this but she leaves me no choice. I can't lose her and neither will the kids. Please Jiraiya. Do WHATEVER it takes to bring her back." Minato commanded with a solemn expression

"All right. I'll see what I can." Jiraiya says leaving to go prepare himself for this trip to the west and gather his task force members. Leaving Minato alone.

"Please Kushina... Don't do this. I'm hoping it doesn't get nasty when Jiraiya finds you." He says knowing Kushina like all Uzumaki's has a very bad temper. And he prays the task force he sent won't get killed by her.

( Inunaki Village)

Naruto and Co returned. As Hachishakusama was seen facing Naruto and their future demon comrades.

She glanced at Akaza, Gyutaro, Daki, Loona, and 6 new faces.

The pair she looks at a woman and a boy.

"Who are they Naru-kun?" Hachishakusama asks looking at the first pair.

"The woman is Tamayo, the boy is her assistant Yoshiro." Naruto answered

"Greetings lady Hachishakusama I am Tamayo and this is my assistant Yoshiro. I am a doctor." Tamayo introduced herself with the boy besides her looking at the 8 foot woman.

"A pleasure to have a doctor here in our village." the 8 foot woman says turning her gaze to the next pair. Spotting a black haired woman with red eyes, wearing a kimono and held a fan, besides the woman is a little girl with a mirror she looked almost like a Doll, eyes black and hair white.

"Kagura the Wind demon at your service. This is my little sister Kanna she is a mirror demon." Kagura introduced with a bow she was also recruited by Naruto.

Hachishakusama nodded towards the two. And faced the next figure who has Eyes for mouths, one eye on his forehead and the other in his mouth and he has multiple baby hands.

"Hyo Hyo! A pleasure in meeting and serving the GREAT Hachishakusama! Allow me to introduce myself! I am Gyokko!" Says Gyokko and did a bow of respect.

She acknowledged him and then turned towards the last figure. A woman that held a biwa guitar and has long hair that covered her face.

"And you are?" Hachishakusama asked

"Nakime. Your greatness." Nakime answered

Naruto stepped forwards toward his wife.

"So what you think?" he asks his wife.

"They all are good. They will do for now until we get more to complete the 12 Whirlpools." she says facing them.

"Welcome to Inunaki village. Me and Hachi-chan are the village leaders. These humans are our villagers we saved them, they are refugees from the war due to the idiocy of these warlords and Shoguns. They live here. No harm is to come to them. Understand? You are their protectors." Naruto says looking at every demon. Daring them to object his rule.

However none of them did so, they weren't stupid enough to piss off a demon lord and his wife.

"Good I am glad we understood each other. Later on each of you will be tested to see who deserves the position of the 6 Upper Whirlpools. And 6 Lower Whirlpools. Any questions?" Naruto says with his red eyes looking at each demon he has recruited. Tamayo raises her hand. Along with Nakime.

"Yes Tamayo?" Naruto asks with a frown

"I am not interested in becoming an Upper or Lower Rank Naruto-sama, since I have no combat skills whatsoever. However, I will be this village's doctor." Tamayo says with Naruto nodding

"Understandable. You?" Naruto says now looking at Nakime.

"I am not ready to be either, Naruto-sama. I will however help renovate you and Hachishakusama's mansion into something greater." Nakime would say as Naruto nodded.

"Very Well. Then the rest of you. Will do. You all are dismissed." Naruto would say with the demons bowing in respect to their master and mistress and walked away.

"I'm very pleased about this my love. I in fact know two other Daiyokai like me and you, to join us, and they both are friends of mine." Hachishakusama says with Naruto looking at her in surprise.

"Oh who?" he asks as she smiled.

"You'll see. I'm going to go look for them." she answered thinking about a certain ex-shrine maiden with 6 arms and the lower half body of a snake. And another tall figure who is as big as her. She is a maneater and resides in the seas and oceans.

Yes. Kankandara and Syren. They are Daiyokai like she is.

( Sometime later)

Naruto glanced down at the Demons who all are kneeled down as he held a new weapon in his hands. Holding Sounga, the sword of Hell or sword of the dead. He is now it's wielder as he glanced at each demon.

"I am proud to see some of you become Upper Whirlpools. All of you have proved your strength and worth." Naruto says with his eyes on Akaza. Who is ranked Upper Whirlpool 1. As his eyes would have the kanji for Upper 1 Whirlpool.

Gyutaro holds Upper Whirlpool 2 sharing it with his sister. Daki.

Loona holds Upper Whirlpool 3.

Gyokko holds the position of Upper Whirlpool 4.

These are the only 4 demons to become Upper Ranks.

Kagura and Kanna share Lower Rank Whirlpool 1.

The first two to become Lower Ranks.

"Good job. The lot of you. Akaza. You are in charge of the Upper Ranks. Kagura, you are in charge of the Lower Ranks." Naruto says with the two nodding.

"You are dismissed. Find potential recruits who can become demons and could join us." Naruto says with the said Demons nodding.

( With Hachishakusama)

She is looking for both of her friends. Kankandara and Syren.

Right now she's heading for Kankandara's location somewhere in dark forests.

Once she gets Kankandara to join, she will go to the lagoon or the beaches to search for Syren.

As she continued to walk into the dark forests.

Once she got to where she needed to be. She heard a chant.

"Who... Is it?" says a hollow voice.

"It's me. Aoi-chan. Surely you wouldn't forget a old friend?" Hachishakusama says as she heard the trees and branches shift as she saw a 20 for long silhouette slither right off the tree revealing a dark haired beauty, with yellow eyes. Pale cream skin, having F-Cups, 6 arms, and a necklace. This is Kankandara.

"Hachishakusama?" Kankandara says with the 8-foot woman smiling,

"In the flesh. Old friend." Hachishakusama says.

To be continued

An; Another update! Enjoy! I have a feeling some of you aren't going to like the fact Loona became 3rd Upper Whirlpool. Instead of Gyokko. However there is two spots left for Upper Whirlpool 5 and 6.

Upper Whirlpool 5 is reserved for a unsuspecting character.

Number 6, I already have someone for that Spot.

To Sagaverse: why report me? And report this story? If you don't like it why bother reading it?

Narucrazy: you forget in chapter 5 Naruto aged up to a 15-year-old. He wasn't 6, anymore after that. Hachishakusama's demonic blood aged him up.

If you guys dont like this story. Dont read it.

Also. I know some of you are anticipating that Kushina will side with naruto. But I'm going on a dark route of how she may join Naruto.

REMINDER: this is a Darker Version of my Naruto x Hachishakusama content. If you can't handle the dark stuff I'm going to pull don't bother reading it. You have been warned.

Until next time.
