I also took this story from creative text!
Bijuu talk/thinking
'Thinking'
"Talking"
"Is this entrance of the Uzushiogakure, the Village Hidden in Whirlpools?" asked Sakura.
"It seems so," said Naruto. It's broken and worn-down rocks were intertwined with weeds and ivy.
"What to do in order to enter?" asked Sasuke.
"Blood? You told us that," said Sakura.
"I don't think so. Since it's the Uzumaki village, but not only Uzumaki's lived there, it shouldn't be limited to Uzumaki's blood. However, chakra can be adapted in small ways, so maybe your chakra would be open it up," said Sasuke. Naruto sighed.
"It wasn't closed off when village was still active, it only got closed by the remaining Uzumaki's where the village was attacked," Naruto said.
"Why was it attacked, anyway?" asked Sakura.
"Too powerful. Let's say, the Uchiha were nearly wiped out by one of their own, and it took multiple nations to do the same to the Uzumaki," said Naruto.
"Well, it was unexpected. Don't fucking 'insult—" said Sasuke.
"Maa, maa boys, let's not start something like this… Both of your families were massacred, let's move on," said Sakura.
"That's true," said Naruto as he stepped forward, thinking different methods to open that seal, "I could try both."
"We might be wrong, I mean, what do we know about sealed entrance?" asked Naruto. Sasuke saw Naruto traced his canine and bit down, winced as the blood trickled down. Naruto smearing it across the dirty rock wall and waited for a couple of minutes in silence.
"Nothing happened," said Sakura.
"You've probably gotten a disease now," said Sasuke.
"Shut up idiot," said Naruto.
"If he does get one, I'll heal it!" cheered Sakura.
"Now, that's a friend, Sasuke, you need to learn from Sakura. Now back off," said Naruto.
"What are you gonna do?" asked Sakura.,
"Just watch," said Naruto, who held his hand up and placed it against the wall and release some of his chakra straight out of his palm and stumbled backwards, "Ow. These stones vibrating like crazy."
"What is this noise?" asked Sakura.
"Is this working?" asked Sakura. Naruto saw difference sections of the rock shifted and rearranged itself to push out a circle shaped symbol.
"You did it," said Sasuke.
"Well nearly. It wasn't completely open," said Naruto.
"Is that the symbol of Uzumaki?" asked Sakura.
"Yeah. Now…," said Naruto. Then placed his bloody thumb over it, tracing the swirl with his Uzumaki and Namikaze blood. They all practically whooped in glee when the second stage of the entrance seal had directed the whole gigantic rock to move completely and slide across the ground. Sakura saw green grass and run-down, old building, then her eyes widened.
"So, it is a blood seal," said Sasuke.
"Shut up and let's go in already!" said Sakura
====In Konoha====
The 3rd Hokage sighed, "That's not great at all."
"Understatement of the century, sensei," said Jiraiya.
"On the brighter side, Naruto does have protection from Yagura, the Mizukage, and they made plans to leave," said Kakashi.
"Leave?" questioned Itachi.
"Indeed, that could be a positive in all of this; the Akatsuki would not know where he is. If he stayed here, they could send other members to retrieve him. What about the other Jinchuuriki?" asked the Hokage.
"No Jinchuuriki has been retrieved yet, I'm supposing that is due to Naruto's chakra hiding seals and Yagura's protection. But it's only a matter of time until they realized why they cannot be tracked or sensed," said Itachi.
"Well, I guess that means that we're helping them leave the village, huh? Ahh, it'll be okey, the Akatsuki won't be able to track any of the Jinchuuriki, and they'll have protection! Sasuke's going with him, did we mention?" asked Jiraiya.
"It was mentioned previously, yes. I think it's time to tell my little brother everything," said Itachi.
"Yes, I suppose you're correct," said the Hokage.
"You'll just have to stay here until they get back to the village then!" said Kakashi.
"Ah," said Itachi.
"What is it?" asked Jiraiya.
"What are we gonna do about him?" asked Itachi as he pointed at Kisame.
====In Naruto's Side====
"I found something!" yelled Sakura. Naruto rushed towards Sakura.
"What? asked Naruto.
"There's a small opening in the wall," said Sakura.
"Let's go through the small gap," said Naruto. Sakura nodded. Naruto through the small gap, they walked forward and realized that they were standing at the top of a flight of stairs.
"Let's go down," said Sakura. Naruto started walking frown the pitch-black spiral staircase.
"it's so dark. Oi! Naruto, stop bumping into me!" shouted Sakura.
"I can't see anything through, Sakura. Ow!" shouted Naruto in pain.
"Sorry idiot," said Sasuke.
"You can't apologize and then call me an idiot, bastard!" yelled Naruto.
"Stop bickering, you're acting like little children," said Sakura.
"Where lights bro," said Naruto.
"We are underground idiot," said Sakura.
"This staircase fallen understand why? I think some larger room underneath us," said Naruto.
"How come?" asked Sakura.
"I… just feel like it because it's underground," said Naruto.
"Oi stop touching my butt," said Sasuke.
"Uh, Sasuke, no one's behind you…," said Naruto.
"Oh fuck, a spider!" shouted Sasuke.
"I thought you liked insects?" asked Sakura.
"I like reptiles not insects," said Sasuke.
"So, you should be thankful that Shino not in our team," said Sakura.
"Shut up," said Sasuke. Sakura took another step and noticed it was flat and not another stair.
"We're here," said Sakura, Sasuke started fumbling and slapping the wall, "What are you doing?"
"Looking. Found some metal object," said Sasuke, who held his left hand up, "Kaiton: Ryuka no jutsu! (Fire Breath Technique)" he did it on wood and used it like a torch.
"Nic-…?" Before she finished, she saw the room immediately illuminated. Sasuke eyes widened.
"What? It's massive," said Naruto.
"Naruto look there is a single scroll," said Sakura. Sasuke looked around the room.
"It's a library. And Uzumaki symbols everywhere," said Sasuke. Naruto jogged towards the special-looking scroll and pick it up.
"What is this scroll?" said Naruto, who then pulled out another scroll from his bag pack, "In this scroll I sealed the Uzumaki artifact, but this new scroll is totally different," he tuned back to his friends, "Let's have a quick look around, then we'll head back to Konoha, sounds good?" Sasuke nodded.
After some time, they collect a couple of things and start running to the village after sealing the entrance once again.
====In Konoha====
"We could kill him," said Kakashi.
"We aren't killing Kisame, he might be part of the Akatsuki, but he can be useful," said Itachi.
"He's part of the Akatsuki-so we kill him," said Kakashi.
"We are not killing him," said Itachi. The Hokage sighed.
"We've been going around in circles. Itachi, him in a Genjutsu for a bit longer, until you leave," said the Hokage.
"And then, embed in his mind that you searched but couldn't find Naruto. So, you're leaving," said Jiraiya.
"Those are the reasonable opinions, Kakashi, yours was not," Itachi said.
"Would have been easier," said Kakashi, then heard sounds of running footsteps approached Hokage's office. Kotetsu swung open the door.
"Hokage-sama—?" Kotetsu yelled, then froze when he saw Itachi. The Hokage slammed his hands on the table.
"Kotetsu! How many times have I told you to knock on the door before you enter?!" Yelled the Hokage.
"I-Uh…" stuttered Kotetsu, he was confused and shocked still.
"What is it?" asked the Hokage.
"R-right, uh, Team 7 is back!" said Kotetsu. Itachi eyes widened.
'I didn't know that they would be back so soon,' thought Itachi.
"Hey, Jiji," said Naruto, who ran towards the door and entered, "You'll never guess what we found today—" Naruto froze before he could finish, "What?! Who is that?"
"Naruto?" asked Sasuke, then entered the room, "What's wrong—" he's eyes landed on his brother, "I-itachi…"
"Hello, little brother," Itachi said.
"ITACHI!" Sasuke shouted in anger, he controlled all the chakra in his hand and made a strongest Chidori, "Chidori!" he began running towards Itachi, and as he did this, he thought, 'Who does he think he is?!' Kakashi held Sasuke's hand and diffused his Chidori. Sasuke tried to pull and tear his hand away roughly.
"Sasuke," said Kakashi.
"I need to kill him, Kakashi! I need to fulfill my revenge!" yelled Sasuke. Sakura covered her mouth in shock. Naruto was standing frozen, glancing from Itachi.
"Shinobi need to pay attention to their surroundings, Sasuke," said Kakashi, Sasuke looked around and became more confused.
"Why are you here?!" said Sasuke in an angry and confused voice.
"Oh, my foolish little brother—" Itachi was cut off.
"Don't you fucking call me that!" shouted Sasuke.
"I think you all need to sit down," said the Hokage.
"Not before you explain why Konoha's biggest traitor is in your office," Sasuke walked towards the 3rd Hokage and slammed his hand down on the desk, "Talk." Naruto pulled Sasuke away from the front and placed both hands on his shoulder.
"Look, it's not only you who to know why there's an unconscious member of the Akatsuki. And your brother, another member of the Akatsuki whose sole aim is to kill all the Jinchuuriki, here. Relax Sasuke," Naruto said as he poured his own calming blue chakra on Sasuke, "But first, you'll do well to pull yourself together. You don't want to look weak in front of Itachi, do you?"
"I hate looking weak," said Sasuke.
"So, calm down," said Naruto calmly.
"Ok," said Sasuke.
"Now let's sit," said the Hokage. Kotetsu was still confused.
'Kinda want to thank Naruto for the ramen that he brought me earlier, kind of don't think it's the right time,' thought Kotetsu, who then left in silence.
"Let's get into it," said the Hokage.
"So, I assume Itachi is a double agent," said Naruto.
"Double agents don't usually massacre their own clan," said Sasuke.
"Usually, they don't," said Itachi, then sighed, "Our father was going to help lead a rebellion against the Hokage."
"… What?" Sasuke questioned, "No he wasn't, you're lying."
"I'm not. I was ordered to stop the rebellion at any cost, and they were beyond hope," said Itachi. Sasuke looked around the room. Sasuke saw the expression of Jiraiya, Kakashi and Hiruzen.
"It was a bad reason to kill our whole family. What about mother? What about the Uchiha civilians?" asked Sasuke.
"They all had their part to play. Would you rather live with a family full of traitors or have a single traitor for a brother?" asked Itachi.
"It just isn't good enough. What I would rather is to not be an orphan," Sasuke was emotionally exhausted, "What I would rather have been my brother to not abandon me and not tell me why." Itachi felt heart broken.
"We don't all get what we want, little brother. Orders were orders," said Itachi. There was a silence that filled the room for a bit. Then Naruto cleared his throat.
"Itachi Uchiha, I'm Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze," said Naruto.
"I'm aware of your identity. I assure you, I mean no harm," said Itachi.
"This one's on me and sensei. Itachi fueled my information network on the Akatsuki, we needed him to infiltrate and join them, so we were up to date on their activity," said Jiraiya.
"Why do you think none for the Jinchuuriki have been captured yet?" asked Itachi.
"Really?" said Naruto, who then pointed towards Kisame, "Who is he? Is he part of this?"
"No, that's Kisame Hoshigaki, my partner in the Akatsuki. I knocked him out," said Itachi.
"Ohhh," said Naruto in realization.
"I believe that it is time for Itachi to leave," said the 3rd.
"Yes," said Itachi.
"You see, Naruto, his mission was to capture you, but obviously that isn't him aim," said Hiruzen.
"Ooohhh," said Naruto in realization.
"Yes, you are right, I've stayed longer than necessary," said Itachi.
"You will explain everything, in excruciating detail," said Sasuke. Itachi smiled at Sasuke, then gave a secret scroll to Sasuke, who caught that scroll, "What's this scroll?"
"Just some information. I will tell you about every single thing in next time," said Itachi.
"I have another thing to ask!" said Naruto.
"What?" asked Itachi.
"You guys are going after Deiadra? That blast guys!" said Naruto.
"Yeah," said Itachi.
"Please don't go after him, he might join us," said Naruto.
"Alright," said Itachi with a weak smile as he walked away with Kisame on his shoulder. Naruto was walking with Jiraiya to the apartment.
"Jiraiya-sensei?" Naruto called out.
"What is it?" asked Jiraiya.
"Tell me everything that relevant to you," said Naruto.
"Okey," Jiraiya said and he began to tell everything that he knew about on Uchiha Itachi, "You should tell them all."
"All means?" asked Naruto.
"Your Jinchuuriki friends," said Jiraiya.
"Oh yeah," said Naruto.
====Sometime Later====
Naruto called upon Sumi and rest of his messenger foxes, directing them to each Jinchuurikis location.
====On The Next Day====
Naruto began to start strategy with his team.
"Are you saying that we need to go... now?" asked Naruto.
"No. We don't need to leave now, but instead within the next couple of months or year. We need to start wrapping everything up here and do everything that a - a village, needs to do and learn it all."
"Ok but who's gonna be the citizens," said Sakura.
"I have to record how many people were going home to join my village, who would help, mainly just everything which I have to do in order to revive Uzushiogakure," said Naruto.
"Uzushiogakure? Why?" asked Sakura.
"That place was abandoned anyway, and if I brought it back to life, perhaps the remaining Uzumaki were going to be naturally attracted to it," said Naruto.
"Ohh that a good idea," said Sakura.
"I need to be somewhere else, but you guys' head to my apartment," said Naruto and gave her house keys.
"And where will you be?" asked Sakura.
"The perv told me about some other... discarded and unwanted people," Naruto sighed, "I'm going to talk to Orochimaru, see what I can find out."
"I don't think that's a good idea," said Sasuke.
"The snake may have been experimenting on some people who will turn out useful. Plus, Orochimaru is here, and they're probably still trapped somewhere. And it's not fair. I'll see you guys later," said Naruto, who started walking where Orochimaru is right now.
"You don't know anything about making a village," said Kurama.
'I'm well aware, that's why we're going to plan,' thought Naruto.
"Luckily you've got some good people on your side, they can help," said Kurama.
====After Some Time====
Sakura arrived at Naruto's house, "Just look at this house Sasuke."
"He never cleans it," said Sasuke. Sakura sighed and began to clean everything.
"Relax. You already clean everything on his room," said Sasuke.
"That's looking good, isn't it?" asked Sakura.
"Yeah. So, where that books? And scrolls," said Sasuke.
"Here," said Sakura, she unsealed the books from the scroll. She starts put the books in bookshelves.
"Relax Sakura," said Sasuke. Sakura sighed.
"It's just... I don't want let Naruto down, you know?" asked Sakura.
"Alright, what do we know so far?" asked Sasuke.
"Ok so, we need a governing body, I'm assuming we're sticking with the classic Kage, Daimyo, Council, Civilians, Medics and Military," said Sakura.
"We'll be in Uzushio, so I would say naming the highest position the Uzushiokage, but I don't think the Uzumaki clan called their leader a Kage," said Sasuke, who flipped further into a book, "Who knew that we could find all of these in the library..."
"Any mention of a leader?" asked Sakura. Sasuke pushed a book towards Sakura.
"Indeed. Ashina Uzumaki, a man who was the leader of the Uzumaki clan during the founding of Konoha," Sasuke said.
"Leader, leader, leader, did they just call him a leader? When was the phase 'Kage' created?" asked Sakura.
"Well, Ashina and Hashirama Senju and were friends, and he was the First Hokage at the time, but it seems like Uzushio didn't use that phrase at all," said Sasuke.
"What about allies for trade and politics?" asked Sakura.
"Naruto has connections with Kirigakure and Yagura, we'll have to wait for the civil war to end though. We have Takigakure, but I'm not entirely sure about that. Due to Raikage and Killer Bee, I'm sure Kumogakure is going to back us up, especially since Bee is coming with us to Uzushio," said Sasuke, Sakura had begun to write this all down and Sasuke continued, "We have the support of Suna, though I'm not sure who their current Kage is. I've heard rumors that they are going to governed by the council until they trained the next Kazekage."
"And obviously Konoha," said Sakura.
"Yes, and obviously Konoha," said Sasuke, who then sighed in exasperation.
"This is going to be harder than I thought," said Sakura.
====In Naruto's Side====
"You want to do what?" asked Ino.
"I want to talk to Orochimaru," said Naruto.
"Do you have permission from Hokage-sama?" asked Ino.
"Does Hokage-sama or Inoichi-san know that you're here, training your family jutsu on prisoners? Are your stolen the keys?" asked Naruto.
"Listen I just want to train okey," said Ino.
"Okey but why on the prisoners," said Naruto.
"Sakura," said Ino.
"Hmm?" Naruto hummed in confusion.
"She's gotten stronger, and I've not done much since I've become a genin. Sasuke-kun wouldn't want someone like me," said Ino.
"Hmmmmmmm... Interesting. Romance-wise, I don't think Sasuke is interested in girls at the moment. And Sakura? She's stronger because she's been training and applying her skills to real-life situations," explained Naruto.
"I haven't had many real=life solutions come up!" said Ino.
"That's true," Naruto said. Ino then threw the keys she was holding.
"Whatever. Do what you want to do," said Ino. Naruto caught the keys.
"You want real-life situations, right? Come with me. I need information from Orochimaru, wanna help?" asked Naruto.
"W-what? Me? You want my help?" asked Ino in shock.
"Come on, what else is better than practicing on a Sannin," Naruto smirked before continuing, "Sasuke would be impressed..."
"Well, if you insist, I guess I should help you out," said Ino. Naruto unlocked the door by one of the keys Ino had given.
"A-ah! Um, I..." Ino stuttered nervously.
"Don't worry I am here," said Naruto.
"But he is one of Sannin," said Ino.
"I already fought him many times. So don't worry," said Naruto.
"Bu-ut-." said Naruto.
'She is too nervous, I think I should calm her," said Naruto, who then flew his blue chakra into Ino.
"What was that?" asked Ino.
"My chakra, I wanted to get you to relax. Sorry maybe I should have asked," said Naruto.
"No-uh, it was helpful. Anyway, what did you need from Orochimaru anyway?" asked Ino.
"Ah!" said Naruto, then thought, 'She didn't know anything, I can't tell her proper details, or I should?" then spoke, "I need to find out where his hideout is, he's been experimenting on kids, and I wanted to save them. I'll do some questioning, but if that doesn't work, could you enter his enter his mind? Have a little look around?" asked Naruto.
"Yes, I can. I am practicing hard my Mind Invasion Jutsu. So, I can use it to him," said Ino. Naruto patted her head in comfort.
"Wait here for a bit. I'll call you when it's time," said Naruto.
"Okk," said Ino, who watch Naruto waved and unlocked the door, walking inside. Naruto turned to face the doorway and smiled at her as he pushed the door. Ino saw an unfamiliar red glint in his eyes as he shut it. Naruto turned around to see Orochimaru.
"The untouchable and powerful snake sannin is now locked up with chakra absorbing shackles all over his body," said Naruto.
"Naruto Uzumaki, to what do I own the pleasures?" asked Orochimaru.
"Afternoon. I've come to ask for some information about your experiments," said Naruto. Orochimaru laughed.
"Interesting. How Interesting! And why would you want to know about that?" asked Orochimaru. Naruto let out some Kyubi Chakra.
"I want to see what changes you made to their bodies," said Naruto.
"Hmm, even more interesting... I have caught many young people, ninja and civilians. How, I wonder, would you react if I said that I have an Uzumaki trapped somewhere there?" asked Orochimaru. The chakra surrounded Naruto body lashed out and one tail of Naruto attempt to hit Orochimaru. Naruto had stopped it, then grabbed his neck with his hand.
"You will tell me where your hideout is," said Naruto.
"Ahhh stop it I can't breathe," said Orochimaru in pain. Naruto released it, Orochimaru took some sir.
"You're amusing... I can see why someone why someone as powerful as Yagura is so interested in you," said Orochimaru.
"You do not deserve to speak his name. You will tell me where your hideout is, or I will destroy your mind," si=aid Naruto.
"Your threats need to be backed up with skill, Naruto-kun. I don't think you have the ability to destroy my mind. I will never tell you where to find your kin, you deserve to suffer, knowing that she is trapped and suffering, unable to be saved by you," said Orochimaru evilly. Naruto walked towards the door and swung it open, then met Ino, who saw him.
'I could barely recognize him,' said Ino.
"Your turn to shine Ino," said Naruto. Ino stepped into the dark and deary room, then faced Orochimaru.
"Her? That tiny child is going to 'destroy my mind' How Inoichi Yamanaka? I gave him a goof beating during the invasion, has he regained feeling to his body yet?" asked Orochimaru.
"You are the one who injured my father?" asked Ino angrily.
"You just keep angering people, don't you Orochimaru?" asked Naruto sarcastically. Ino placed her hand on Orochimaru head.
"You really shouldn't have said that. You really shouldn't have. Mind Invasion Jutsu!" Ino shouted.
====With Yagura====
Yagura exhaled and leaned back in his Kage chair, "I have to."
"Allow Mei Terumi to enter, we have things to discuss," said decided on my next move."
"Care to share?" asked Utakata. Yagura mentioned a guard. Mei entered the room.
"Yagura-sama, what is this meeting about?" asked Mei.
"I have a proposition to make, and you have a choice," said Yagura and her jaw fell open.
"What?!" said Mei and Utakata in shock
"Go ahead," said Mei. Utakata was confused.
"I will abdicate the Kage position," Yagura said. Mei was shocked
"What are you talking about?!" Utakata asked.
"I'm not finished," said Yagura, Utakata gulped and composed himself, "I will resign, and you will become the Godaime Mizukage, you will control all of Kirigakure, I will have no power here politically," said Yagura.
"What's the catch?" asked Mei skeptically. Yagura smirked. which is in the process being created. Nothing much, just trade, political aid, need military aid if needed. It will not be soon, but perhaps in the next year or so," said Yagura. Mei went through all the different scenarios through her."
"In exchange, when the time comes, you will aid a village head."
"It's gonna worth. I accept," said Mei. Yagura stood and extended his hand, removing his Mizukage hat and handing it over to Mei Terumi, feeling a weight lifted off his shoulders. Mei took the hat and stood up too, smiling., and Yagura smiled back.
"Pleasure doing business with you, Godaime Mizukage-sama," said Yagura.
