Land of Water, Shiroiruka Island, Rebel Basecamp
Former Kiri ninjas walked around the camp with clans forced on the run.
Their leader stood by the shore as she waited for the boats to arrive, "Are you sure that they are going to arrive," A man with an eye patch asked as he stood beside Mei.
"I am," Mei said, her voice carrying a note of relief as she spotted something moving in the water. Her tension eased as she saw the distinctive flags flying, a sign of their allies' arrival.
It was a safety orange flag with a black spiral in the middle, symbolising their trusted allies.
As Mei smiled, more boats started to move closer, bearing the same flag. "Our allies are here," Mei called out as the boats reached the shore. The bows opened as the clans of Uzu, led by Naruto, walked down to the land.
Mei and Naruto locked eyes and nodded at each other before Mei turned to her forces. "Get war table ready," she called out as she led Naruto, Jiraiya, and Itachi to the main tent. Everyone started to get ready.
Once they reached the tent, the three found a large map of the Land of Water, which they used as a canvas for their strategic planning.
"We've managed to locate small pockets where we can strike," Mei said, getting suitable for business as Naruto looked at the map. They discussed potential strategies, considering the enemy's strength and their resources.
"How many strongholds, armouries, and other things that Yagura have under his control," Naruto asked as Mei looked to a ninja who walked over and put chess pieces on the map.
"The pawns are small camps that we have found, but a Kiri ninja of great power runs each of them," the ninja said as she handed the copies to each ninja in charge. The chess pieces represented the location and strength of Yagura's forces.
"This camp is run by Manayasu Mimo, otherwise known as the Rubīken, as his sword is stained red from the number of people he has killed with it, " she told them.
"She is skilled and able to use two elements, Fire Release and Wind Release," Mei said as the three nodded at her. We need someone who can match her skill in the sword," the woman said as Naruto rubbed his chin before he looked at the sage.
"Tell Hakuro to gather a group; he can go after the swordsmen," Naruto said. Mei looked shocked as Jiraiya formed the Seal of Confrontation.
"Why are you sending this, Hakuro," Mei asked with a raised brow.
"Hakuro is known as the Katana Oni," Naruto told her. Mei smiled as she turned to one of her ninjas, who nodded and went to gather some forces to join Hakuro, who was leaving. Everyone looked at the woman to continue as she pointed to the second pawn.
"Rinasu Kuritsami runs this camp; she holds the legendary summoning contract to the dragons," the woman said as she looked around the pawn before nodding to himself.
"I'll lead a group to that one," Naruto said as Mei's eyes shot wide.
"Are you sure," She asked him as he looked at her.
"I'm the leader of Uzu; I'm going to need to fight as well, and while the rebels take out all of Yagura's footholds until there is nothing left," The Uzukage said as Mei looked Naruto in the eye once more before she nodded at him.
"Alright, but I'm sending five ninja with you and your group," she told him, and Naruto nodded.
They turned back to the kunoichi and then pointed at the next pawn. "Next is the Kurutteru Hono, Miyari," the ninja said as Jiraiya looked at the map.
"I've heard of him; he's not an easy person to pass, " the sage told them as Mei nodded.
"I was thinking about sending people with strong Water Release to face him, but we are having trouble attacking the small pockets of Kiri ninja under Yagura," Mei said. Naruto nodded as he started to think.
"Tell me how strong you would call his Fire Release," he asked the woman who looked at him.
She and Mei looked at each other before they looked down at the map and then at Naruto, "Well, not on the level of a member of the Sarutobi clan, but his control is good," Mei said as the blond thought before he looked at Itachi who nodded.
"Then why not send the swordsmen there?" he said as he looked at the woman, who looked shocked at him.
"But we only have three of them," Mei told them, but Naruto shook his head.
"Four, we brought Kisame with us," Naruto said as he looked at Mei. "And to make sure that this works, here," he said as he handed over a scroll. Once it was opened, she saw a seal.
"What this," She asked the blond.
"The Kubikiribōchō and I am giving it to use against my better judgement," Naruto said as he narrowed his eyes at the woman who opened her mouth, "The seven swords were created by the Uzumaki clan, my clan, and when your village attacks they stole all seven, and while Kisame will have Samehada until his death, I am truly gifting the other swords to you on the traid for the Kiri Jinchuriki over to Uzu," He said as the women did not know what to say as they looked at each other.
Mei looked at the scroll before looking back at Naruto, "Yagura is a Jinchuriki you know," she asked him.
"Not a real one, as the real one has to be near him in an unconscious state for him to use his power," Naruto told her. Mei looked back at the scroll before nodding.
"I accept the agreement," Mei said, her voice carrying the weight of her decision as she agreed to use powerful weapons against the enemy.
"Now then, what is the next camp?" Naruto asked; the tension in the room faded.
Five Hours Later, Cloud Stronghold
Itachi led the Onmitsukidō through the forest. They moved as quietly as the shadows, their feet making no sound.
They moved from tree to tree before finding what they sought.
The teen raised his hand as a group of Kiri ninjas walked out of the Stronghold; he then curled his fingers as they drew their swords.
As the Kiri ninjas turned their backs to them, Itachi made a fist as every member of the Onmitsukidō moved in on their target.
Rooster Armoury
A member of Onmitsukidō, leading eight others, was deading towards a large armoury; the members looked down as they looked at two people guarding a hole in a mountain.
As the clouds' shadows covered them, the group moved forward and dispatched the two guards before they moved in.
Camp Flame
Naruto and five of the rebel forces walked up to the camp. Each rebel looked at Naruto, who was ready to fight. The teen tossed a stone in his hand up and down before he caught it and tossed it into the camp. He then formed the tiger seal, and as the rock landed, a large explosion rang in the middle of the camp, and the group ran forward.
The Kiri ninja ran out of their tents and looked around for the source of the explosion as the rebels charged as Naruto waited.
"So the rebels have gained allies," a woman's voice called out as Naruto turned to see a woman with wavy, semi-long crimson hair tied up in a ponytail, chest-length hair strands hanging on either side, emerald-green eyes, and a pretty and youthful face dressed in a Kiri uniform with a sword at her side.
"Rinasu Kuritsami," Naruto asked the woman, who nodded.
"That I am, and can it get your name," Rinasu asked the blond.
"Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki," He told her as the two locked eyes before they charged at each other with their swords clashing.
Naruto's sword was coated in flames, while Rinasu's was in the water, with the two clashing each time, sending off steam into the air while the rebels and Kiri ninja fought around them.
Naruto shot his finger forward as it pierced his opponent's arm before she kicked him back, and the two skidded away from each other. They then sent out two slashes of chakra. Naruto's turned into fire, while the other turned into water. They clashed and turned into steam, blowing away as they moved into a sword lock again.
Around them, the rebel and Kiri ninja continued fighting, with one of the rebels taking out a Kiri ninja and thinking of Naruto breaking the sword lock by kicking away. Rinasu turned around and threw two Shuriken out that stuck the back of a Kiri ninja that was sneaking up on the rebel, who quickly turned around and used a kunai to cut the throat of the ninja behind them before the kunai started to steam as the ninja turned back around and then stabbed it into the chest of the ninja in front of them as the Kiri ninja screamed in agony as he could feel his blood boiling in his veins.
Naruto and Rinasu locked swords once more before Rinasu smiled as she and Naruto locked blades once more. She locked Naruto's free hand with hers. "Let me borrow this," she told him as she went through seals before she breathed in.
Before breathing a small fireball, "Katon: Zukokku," she called out as Naruto jumped away.
He then slashed at the air. He sent out a small wind blade that cut the fireball in half. Rinasu looked shocked as Naruto landed in a crouch and looked at the woman with his Rinnegan active.
Rinasu changed her look to a scowl as she rushed at Naruto with her sword at the ready to cut off his head, but Naruto seemed to be faster as he moved into her space before she could react as he raised his sword and cut the hand holding the sword off as she staggered back.
"You little fuck," Rinasu cursed at Nartuo as a Kiri ninja was kicked over to her, and she then smiled as she wiped her thumb on the bloody stump and used the hand of the Kiri ninja to form seals.
And when she was done, she kicked the ninja away and slammed her hand down before she was engulfed with smoke.
Naruto stood there waiting, looking at the smoke; as it began to clear, one of the dragon summonses looked at him, with Rinasu standing on top of it.
It was a large summon with red scales but no wings, horns, or a long tail.
"Kiba, kill this fool," Rinasu ordered the dragon, who looked down at Naruto. When his scent filled Kiba's nose, the dragon moved its hand as another puff of smoke filled the area.
But this one was larger.
When the smoke cleared, it showed a giant, legged dragon with two mighty wings and platinum scales. "Kiba, why have you called me? " the new dragon asked.
"Bahamut-sams, I think that this boy is more fit to the dragon summoning clan than this girl," Kiba told the platinum-scaled dragon, who looked at Naruto.
"What the," She asked before she vanished from her sighed as she felt something pierce her chest and looked down to see Naruto's sword poking out her chest.
She coughed up blood as Naruto pulled his sword out of her chest and kicked her off the dragon.
He then jumped after her and charged his sword with chakra Rinasu looked up and saw him kick off the air and zoom into her as his purple eyes turned crimson with a slit for a pupil.
"What are you? " she whispered, and the rebels looked as Naruto slashed as he reached her in the air.
And with his sword striking true, he removed her head in one slash.
The remaining Kiri ninjas looked at the lifeless body of their commander before they knelt, "We surrender," They called out as the rebels looked at Naruto, who picked up the head of Rinasu and sealed it.
"Tie them up. We'll get information out of them back at basecamp," he told his men, who nodded and got to work.
"That was well fought," Bahamut said as Naruto looked at him. "And it seemed that Kiba was right; you will be a good summoner for the dragon," he said as he summoned a smaller dragon with a long serpent-like body and moose antlers.
The dragon looked at Bahamut before he lowered the scroll and unrolled it for Naruto, who bit his thumb and summoned a toad.
"Hey, Naruto, why have you called me? " the toad asked as Naruto pointed at the dragons.
"The dragon would like me for a summoner, is that alright witht he toads," He asked.
"Oh yeah, with me coming clean about how Dad treated you, the elder said that you can get another clan, and we can become a secondary clan with me and Tatsu being your summons," the toad said. Naruto nodded and sighed the contract as the dragons looked on.
"We require a chakra stamp," Kiba said. Naruto nodded, sent chakra to one of his fingers, and pressed it into the scroll.
"Thank you, when all of this is over summon me and my fellow sage and we shall give you the test to see if you are worthy to summon the dragons," Bahamut said before he returned to the summoning realm along with Kiba.
Naruto looked over to the rebels who had captured Kiri ninja. "Let's head back," Naruto said as he and the others walked back and returned to base camp.
The Next Day, Rebel Basecamp, War Tent
Naruto and Mei looked over the war table as if they had taken five camps the night before.
Naruto took out Camp Flame, and his group, a rebel named Anaguma, took Camp Iron. Camp Shadow was taken down by a member of the Kijin clan named Benimaru on his own.
Hakuro had dealt with Manayasu Mimo, and the forces with him took out Camp Earth, and the swordsmen of the mist, along with Miyari, took out Camp Water.
But that was not all that fell as Mei and a group took out Sun Stronghold, and Itachi took out Cloud Stronghold.
Suzaku Prison had fallen because Jiraiya handled it personally.
And then, thanks to punishment force, Team Alpha taking out Rooster Armoury dealt another blow to Kiri.
"Were going to be hitting that prison next, is on an island in the the middle of the water," Mei said as Naruto nodded.
Two Days Later, Kiri, Mizukage Building, War Room
The Mizukage stood in front of a large war table as a member of his council removed another of their modules from the map.
He was a young-looking adult, though relatively short for his age. He had short, messy, grey hair, which fell over the right side of his face and spiked up on the left. He also had pupilless pink eyes and what seemed to be a stitch-like scar running from under his left eye down his cheek. His attire included a grey, sleeveless shirt with the Kiri headband attached to the front and short-sleeved mesh armour, which he wore a green poncho. He also wore a turquoise sash around his waist, paired with a matching green apron over his pants and a pair of brown boots.
"I'm sorry, Mizukage-sama. We've just lost Pig Armory," the man said as the Mizukage growled at him.
"That leaves us with six armouries, four barracks, five strongholds, and two camps left," He said as the people in the office with him backed away from him.
A runner then burst into the room, "Camp Ice, and Camp Forest have fallen, and from what we have learned it is a new village with the symbol of a spyral," She called out as a man slowly reached out and removed the models showing both camps.
But more runners can enter the room as more places under the Mizukage fell.
And by nightfall, there was only one thing left that he controlled.
Kiri itself.
The man sat in his office on his chair, drumming his fingers on the arm.
And his eye never left Kiri's main gate.
The man did not blind or remove his eyes from that gate as his ninja was moving around to find spots where they could defend.
"It seems they you will lose," A woman's voice in the man's head rang through.
"Scilence, you know nothing girl, and I will be the one that wins this war," The Mizukage said as he growled at the voice.
"No, you won't," the voice told him before they went quiet, leaving the Mizukage to his thoughts.
Land of Fire, Konoha, Yakiniku Q
The remaining members of Konoha's four rookie teams gathered around a grill, as each team had a booth.
"So, how is training with Tsuande-sama," Lee asked as Sakura put some meat on the grill.
"It's Going well. Tsuande-sensei said that I have a good affinity with Medical Ninjutsu, so much so that Kakashi should have given me training for it," she said as she felt eyes on her before she looked up and saw that Shikamaru was drilling his eyes into her. "Yes," Sakura asked him.
The heir of the Nara clan said nothing for a while before he said one thing that shocked everyone: " You're planning to leave Konoha."
Sakura looked at him before she smiled, "I am," She told him she moved the meat off the grill, "I've been doing what I can to train Konohamaru, Udon, and Moegi in Naruto's stead, but they do not react with me like they did with him, so I plan to leave once my training in Medical Ninjutsu is good enough to help him," Sakura said as everyone looked shocked at her.
"Why," Ino asked as she looked at her best friend.
Sakura popped the mean in her mouth, knowing Hinata knew the answer. "She loves Naruto," she said as everyone stopped and looked at her. "Am I right?" Hinata asked as Sakura nodded.
"That's right," Sakura said as she put more food on the grill. "And thanks to talking with Gamakichi, Naruto's toad familiar, he told me where he is, and then thanks to Tsunade-sensei, I have gained a way of getting over there when the time is right," she told them as they looked at her, and Kiba looked at her before his eyes shot wide.
"Your not wearing your headband," He said as Sakura nodded at him.
"I stopped wearing it ever since I realised my feelings for him," she said as the waiter walked in with more food.
"Here is the meat you ordered, and it's already been paid for," they said as the Genin looked at each other before the waiter pointed to a man waving at them. That gentleman has paid for all your food for the time that you're here," the waiter said as he walked away, and the man walked over.
The man looked around his mid-twenties, with sandy blond hair and tanned skin. He wore tattered jeans, a black T-shirt and ninja sandals.
"Hey there, kids," the man said as he walked over to them, all on guard.
Except Ino, who was taken by the man's looks.
"Who are you," Chōji asked as he got ready to grow.
"I could not help but overhear you talk about my nephew," The man said as Sakura looked confused.
"Naruto," She asked as the man clicked and pointed at her.
"That's him. Sadly, his mother and I could not raise him because of some laws that are not bendable," the man said with a shrug before he smiled, showing off his sun-yellow eyes. "And I have some gifts for you, girly, " he said as he pulled a letter from his pocket and handed it to Sakura.
He then gave her a bag of marbles.
And the final thing was a scroll.
Sakura looked at the things given to her before she looked at the man, who smiled. "Go ahead and ask," he said as her eyes widened.
"How," She asked him.
"Summon one of your summons, and they can tell you," he told her as Sakura looked at him. She bit into her thumb, went through the seals, and pressed her hand on the table as a small puff of smoke formed.
When the smoke cleared, a small tiger was sitting next to her. "How can I help you, Sakura? " the tiger asked as Sakura pointed at the man. The tiger then bowed to the man. "Apollo-sama, why are you here? " she said to him.
"Rise your head," Apollo said as he sat down with the others, making room for him.
"Hakaze who is he," Sakura asked her tiger.
"He's Apollo, god of the sun," Hakaze told Sakura, who looked shocked at the man. The man smiled at them again, and the Genin looked more amazed.
"Now before you start bowing to me, don't," Apollo said to them as they nodded at him. "And to answer your question, Lee, Naruto is my twin sister's son," he told them as Lee looked shocked.
"So Naruto is half god," Neji asked as Apollo nodded at the boy.
"That he is Neji, and no Shino there is a reason we tell our demi-god childeren to not say they are childeren of gods," Apollo said as Tenten narrowed her eyes.
"Why," She asked him.
Apollo pointed to both Kiba and Shino, "These two are the reason, as Kiba is the descend of a demi-god of Sarama, while Shino is a descend of Khepri," He told them before he looked back at Sakura, "The gifts that I have given you is first ticks that do not expire but have one use only on my sun chariot to head to my nephew, it hold as many tickets you will need to use to take as meny people that want to leave Konoha as well," Apollo told her as Sakura looked shocked.
"Then you have the marbles, they are to be used by Naruto, they are things that he is needing to build his new home," Apollo told her and when he pointed to the scroll, "And that scroll holds some new cloths for you, as I think my nephew will love them on you, and possbly taking them off you," The god said as Sakura's face turned red as the man got up out of his seat and started to walk away before he stopped and turned to Sakura.
"Love is not one of my dominions, but I know it when I see it, a letter to him allowing you to tell him everything," he told her before he walked out and disappeared into the crowd outside.
Everyone turned back to Sakura, who was still blushing crimson as Shikamru started to think up ideas. "Sakura, I need you to be honest with me," he said as she looked at him. "Is he building a village?" Shikamaru asked; the blush vanished as Sakura's eyes hardened.
"Yes," She said as the tiger beside her showed her teeth.
Shikamaru smiled, "That's Good. Then I can make a plan for the rest of us who want to join him," he said, and everyone looked shocked.
"What do you mean Shika," Ino asked him.
Shikamaru looked over to her, "Even before Sakura said anything, I was planning to leave Konoha as this is bullshit the way they treated Naruto, and allowed Sasuke to be praised as a good ninja of Konoha, so I say fuck them," He said as the others on the mission that went to retrieve Sasuke nodded.
Hinata looked at Neji, who nodded at her, "Me and Neji have been told that we must marry, and we intend to do so, but I was searching for the key to the seal on Neji's head to remove it," Hinata told them as they all nodded at her.
"We are even planning to release the brach family and leave Konoha," Neji told them as the others nodded.
Ino looked at them before asking, "Are you sure this is a good idea?" She asked them.
Sakura looked her in the eye as she gave some meat to Hakaze, who returned to the summoning realm, "Yes, Naruto always stood by us, and now it's time we do the same," Sakura said as she got up and left.
The Next Day, Land of Water, Main Island, Outside Kiri
Naruto and Mei stood beside each other as they looked at Kiri's main gate. "Are you okay with me destroying it? " he asked, and Mei nodded.
"It can always be rebuilt," she told him. Naruto held up a hand, and the forces behind them all got ready to fight.
"Shinra Tensei," Naruto called out as a force, but it was out of his hand and shot forward, destroying the main gate as it burst inwards from nothing.
The united Uzu ninja and rebels burst forward as they passed Mei and Naruto, moving quickly into the village like a wave crashing into the shore.
The two leaders then moved side by side, heading towards the Mizukage building and jumping over buildings and people.
Anyone who stood in their way was cut down by the combined force or by the two of them.
Mei started spewing lava from her mouth, which made a bridge across a river. The two stood on it before continuing their movement ahead.
Naruto looked up at the top of the Mizukage building and saw someone standing there before he appeared in the air the building and summoned Mei with him as the two landed on the building.
They looked at the Mizukage as the man turned to look at them. "So you two finally get here," he said as he turned to them.
Naruto kept one hand on his sword while the other got ready to form a seal while Mei drew a kunai.
"I did not think you would get this far, Mei, but who did? After all, your forces were small and dwindling," the Mizukage said as he turned to Naruto. "Then you stepped in with your forces," he growled at Naruto, who rolled his eyes.
Within the blink of an eye, Naruto and Mei shot at the man who pulled out his staff, which blocked the sword and kunai.
Naruto's hand shot forward and around the arm of the Mizukage before he called out, "Raiton: Waru Supāku." He sent electricity into the man, shocking him. Mei finished going through seals as she got ready and then sprayed out acid from her mouth that hit the Mizukage's staff and started to melt it.
"You two filthy inscets," The Mizukage growled at the two as he formed a tail of his bijū and batted them away before jumping after the two.
Underground Holding Area
Itachi, along with a small team of Onmitsukidō, moved quickly, killing everyone in the room except a young girl of average height. She had straight brown hair cut in a chin-length bob that framed her face and looked around the same age as Naruto.
She also had a rectangular purple marking on either side of her cheeks, and all she was dressed in was a hospital gown.
She lay on the stone platform with a large seal over the room.
"Everyone but the girl has been taken out," A member of Onmitsukidō told Itachi, who nodded.
"Good," he said as he pulled out a piece of paper and looked at it before he pointed at a section on the wall. That part needs taking out," Itachi ordered as one of them walked over and held up his hand. Their fingers turned to cat-like claws, and they cut the wall.
When the wall was cut, the girl woke up with a deep breath as she looked around at the Onmitsukidō. "Thank you," she said with a smile.
"Think nothing of it," one said, and Itachi gave her some clothes.
"We are the Onmitsukidō under oders of Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki the Shodime Uzukage to free you and help you, and to inform you that Konoha is nolonger what it was," Itachi said as the girl looked at him.
"What do you mean," She asked him.
Main Street of Kiri
Anko fought back to back with a member of the seven swordsmen, the only female member.
She had long, red hair and black eyes, and with a Kiri forehead protector, she also wore a simple cloth around her head, distinctively tied at both sides so that the ends of the material protruded upwards. In contrast, the remainder of her hair was allowed to flow downwards. She wore a loose, pin-striped long-sleeved shirt with a dark obi around the waist, black pants which got much looser near the ends, resembling hakama, and striped leg-warmers. Like all the other members of her generation of swordsmen, she wore bandages loosely tied around the neck and had jagged teeth.
The two took out Kiri ninja, who swarmed them with Kimimaro above them to fight a swordsman.
In another part of the story, Kiri had Kisame fighting a man with a giant axe and hammer.
The members of the Kijin clan moved into three units. They took out parts of Kiri, led by Shion, Abaki's son, and a member dressed in white.
It was flying above with the two Uzu clans with wings zooming around in the air, quickly taking out any Kiri ninja with ranged weapons.
A large explosion on top of the Mizukage building briefly caught people's eyes before they continued fighting.
On top of the Mizukage building, the three fightings looked worse for wear, with the Mizukage scowling at the two as he had lost his jinchūriki abilities, with Naruto and Mei having their clothes torn from the fighting.
"Even without the Sanbi, I am still the Mizukage," the man yelled as he spewed water in the shape of a dragon.
Naruto went through seals before he ended with the bird seal. The roof headed up as a serpentine dragon of lava formed out. "Yōton: Yōgan Ryū no Ikari," he called out as both dragons met in the air. Steam burst out as the two collided.
Mei formed the Water Release seal as a water blade burst from the ground. As the water dragon stopped, the Mizukage had to jump out of the way and stop his jutsu. The lava dragon went after him and trapped him in a wall before Naruto hardened the lava and stopped the jutsu.
"Stop this war now before we are fored to end your life," Mei told him as the trapped man looked at her with eyes full of hate.
"Never," the man said, clapping his hands together as water started to form around the three of them. If I can't kill you, then I'll take you two out with me," the Mizukage yelled before he blinked and saw that Naruto was now in the air with his leg back.
"Do yourself a favour and shut the fuck up," He told the man before he kicked at the air. It sent out a blade of wind that cut into the man. He dropped his technique as the water started to fall to the ground.
"Suiton: Suidanha," Mei called out as the falling water moved up and cut into the man.
The rebel leader sat the blood flowing out of the man, so she looked at him with a sad look, "Yagura, I ask you once more to stand down," She asked him, but the man just looked at her.
"I would rather die," Yagura told her before he felt an unbelievable amount of chakra above him. He looked up to see Naruto with his sword over his head and the blade glowing golden orange.
"So be it, Getsuga Tenshō," Naruto called out as he slashed at the air and set out a wave of chakra that hit the man and continued moving through the mountain he was trapped in.
The fighting stopped as they looked up and sat at the mountain behind the Mizukage building, falling and turning into chunks of rock as they fell to the floor.
The war stopped as everyone looked to the top of the Mizukage building, waiting to see who had won the fight between the leaders.
When Naruto and Mei reached the top lip, the Kiri ninjas fell to their knees, and the rebels and Uzu ninjas celebrated.
"This war is over; we have won," Mie called out as people started to round up the ninja who had joined the former Mizukage.
The Next Day
Naruto was talking with Itachi and Abaki's son. "Itachi, I make sure that everyone is ready for departure. Benimaru, ensure the wounded get on the boats first so our medics can deal with them." He ordered the two as the girl that Itachi freed approached him.
She was now dressed in silver camo pants and a body suit that was back and armless.
"Are you the Uzukage," She asked as Naruto turned to her.
"I am," He said as she dropped to her knee.
"I'm Rin Nohara, Uzukage-sama. I was your father's student when he was alive. I am, was, a Chūnin and a Medical-nin," she told him as Naruto nodded at her. I am also the jinchūriki of the Sanbi, and I offer my service to Uzu," Rin told him as Naruto nodded at her with a smile.
"Then Rin, you can help the wounded on the boat. Go over with Benimaru, and he can lead you to where you need to go," he told her.
Rin nodded and walked off as Shion walked over wearing the same clothes as Rin, but she showed off her bust more and had a small crop jacket.
Naruto raised a brow at her, and she smiled cutely at him. He pointed at Rin. "I take it that was your doing," he said. Shion smiled before walking away, and Naruto shook his head with a smile as two more people walked over.
The first was a tall, thin young man with pale golden eyes and brown hair that reached to his shoulders. His side parting let a large portion of his bangs cover the left side of his face. He wore a long, light blue kimono with a small emblem of three bubbles on the back and grey pants underneath with an orange sash. The kimono hung loose, exposing his chest. In it, he carried a bamboo jug.
Next to him was a girl with fair skin, dark green eyes, and long, wavy blonde hair with a widow's peak reaching her back. She wore a violet-coloured kimono top with white trimmings tied by a black obi, black shorts with a shuriken holster underneath a slit black skirt with red trimmings, violet arm warmers and black shinobi boots.
"Hey, I heard that you trained me for the last of the seven swords not in use, and I will allow Kiri to have them," the man said as Naruto looked at him.
"So you're the Rokubi jinchūriki," Naruto said as the man nodded at him, and Naruto smiled gently at him. "I'm holding the old fox," the blond said as the man's eyes seemed to lose focus for a little while before he smiled.
"My name is Utakata, and this is my student Hotaru; I was a Jōnin of Kiri," He told Naruto, who nodded.
"There are some boats down there way. Look for a man with fire orange hair and tell him that you have joined us. That is one of the boats that will return to Uzu," he told Utakata as the two nodded and walked down to the boat.
The next to walk up to him was five people.
The first was a man dressed in a dark purple kimono with a sword. He was bald and had striking purple eyes.
The next was a woman dressed in an orange hanging with yellow high-collar clothing underneath it. She was also bald but had sky-blue eyes. At her side was a staff.
The next was a man with green eyes. He wore a long yellow tunic over grey pants, accompanied by a hat, shawl, and lower-leg protection in solid green, along with gauntlets to provide lower-arm protection, and the tunic was secured with a belt.
Then, there was a woman with long white hair and deep blue eyes. She wore a light purple dress covered by a kimono-like tunic in a darker shade of purple. Her attire had no split sides, and her tunic was lined with white trim.
The last was another woman with dark eyes and long black hair that he had tied up in a top knot; he wore a red ornate robe with spiked shoulders.
"Are you the clan heads who said you wanted your clans to join Uzu? " Naruto asked the five as the man with the sword walked up.
"I am Mosuke Aohiken. I am from the Aohiken clan. We are sword users who used our Kekkei Genkai of Aokaton," Mosuke said as he bowed to Naruto, who bowed back.
The bald woman walked up next, "My name is Irabi. My clan is called the Minamikaze clan, and we use our clan's fighting style called Kamikazeken," Irabi said as she bowed to Naruto, who bowed back at her before he looked as the white-haired woman walked up.
"I am Rinari Nishimizu, the leader of the Nishimizu clan," Rinari said as Naruto bowed his head to her. My clan has the taijutsu called Seisuiken, along with healing Water Release ninjutsu," she told Naruto, who nodded at her.
He then looked at the man in the green as he walked up. " My name is Yuzo Kitayama. I lead the Kitayama. Our fighting style is called Kamiyamaken," he told Naruto with a nod, as the blond demi-god nodded back at him.
The last woman walked over to him. "Good morning, Naruto-sama; my name is Saizu. I am the leader of the Azumahi clan, and our clan's fighting style is Seikaken," she told him before giving him a bow.
Naruto bowed to her before he looked at the five. "Thank you for joining Uzu. If you can head to the boat with the man with bird-like wings, you can all settle in for our travel to Uzu. And Rinari, can you send the healers of your clan to the boat with the man with red hair and black horns to help with the wounded?" Naruto told her, and the woman nodded as a large group walked over to the boats.
Naruto made sure to stand by the docks as each of his ninjas walked back to the boats, carrying the injured, and he was lucky no one had died on this mission.
After the last person was on the boats, Naruto got ready to leave, but a group of women approached him and fell to one knee in front of him. "Son of Artemis, allow us daughters of war gods to join you," their leader said as Naruto looked at them.
They were all dressed in adorned metal headdresses and heavily armoured green kimonos and wore face paint.
Naruto looked at her, "Who are you," He asked them.
"Artemis-sama asked us to join her, but we turned her away because we did not wish to fall in love. She then asked us to serve her son, who was the daimyō of the Land of Whirlpools and also the leader of the village that is known there," the leader said as Naruto looked at her before he nodded.
"Do you have your things? " he asked them, and they nodded. So they all stood up and followed him as he turned around and approached the lead boat.
"Uzukage," Mei called out as Naruto stopped. The female warriors reached for their weapons. As the new Mizukage, I offer you my hand in marriage once both our villages have been fixed up as a diplomatic marriage so that the bad blood that Kiri had done to your clan can start to be washed away." She called out as Naruto locked eyes with her before he nodded and headed to the boat.
The bows of the boats lifted before they started to make their way back to Uzu.
Five Hours Later, Land of Fire, Konoha, Council Room
The clans of Konoha were meeting to discuss how things were going, with them slowly getting back into the good books of the daimyō, before an Anbu appeared next to Tsunade with a scroll. "News from Kiri," the Anbu said as Tsunade unrolled the scroll and read it before her eyes shot wide.
"Yagura has fallen," She called out as the council members looked shocked.
"How?" Inoichi asked her why her eyes shot wider when she saw the reason.
"It was Naruto. He had built his own village, and from the looks of it, he had gained quite the number of clans for his village," Tsunade said, as everyone was shocked.
"It is true," the Anbu said as everyone turned to them. "I was on patrol over in the Land of Water when I saw Naruto Uzumaki lead his ninja, along with the former rebels of Kiri, to victory, so I stayed and observed them," they said, as everyone did not know what to say.
"Who delt the final bow to Yagura," Shikaku asked them.
"It was Naruto with a jutsu that leveled the great mountin of Kiri," The Anbu said as everyone took everything in.
Tsunade looked to the Anbu. "Do you know what their village is called? " she asked them.
"I'm sorry, Tsunade-sama. I do not, as Jiraiya found me, thinking I was after Uzumaki's head, so I fled," they said as Tsunade held up a hand.
"No it's alright, weldone, go rest," She ordered as the Anbu nodded and left.
But another one also left and headed to the forest, where it ran into a hidden base where the former Konoha elders were hidden, "I bring news," They said as the three turned to the Anbu.
"Speak," Danzo told them.
"Uzumaki has created a village and has killed the Mizukage, Yagura," the Anbu said as the elders narrowed their eyes. The information had just reached the Hokage; they do not know the village's location, but from what was said, they have several clans within that village," the Anbu told them.
The former elders thought as they looked at each other before they smiled.
The Next Day, Waters Around Land of Whirlpools
On the return from the Land of Water, the boats were greeted by something shocking.
It was part of the wall built around the village, which looked like it led into the harbour. The entrance to the harbour is sealed by a massive sea wall flanked by two large towers.
They passed the tower as people rushed forward to greet the returning people. Naruto's boat got there first before all the boats were lined up next to it, and the bows lowered for them to walk down to the gettings of everyone.
Naruto walked up to Tazuna, who met him. "Welcome back, and the village is almost done. There are some small bits that need fixing or putting up, but other than that, everything is done," he told him as he started to lead Naruto away as people met with families.
Tazuna led Naruto and the female warriors, who followed behind them until they reached a wall with the Uzumaki clan symbol going along it. Behind that, Naruto could see a large building.
It was a large castle that looked to be fused with a tiered pyramid, with the Uzumaki clan spiral on top of it.
They walked in and saw that leading up to the entrance was a large staircase bordered on either side by fox statues. A pool of water and several artificially designed waterfalls surround the building, and the liquid for these is supplied by various pipelines pouring water into the pool from directly below the building.
The courtyard was a beautiful garden with a large pond with trees scattered around the open area.
"So what do you think," Tazuna asked Naruto, who looked at the man.
"It's amazing," he said as Tazuna smiled. Naruto turned to the girls, "Get settled in. I'm heading to my office to talk with the heads of the clans so that I can give out missions," Naruto told them as they bowed to him before they walked into the castle to guard it.
Naruto headed over to the Uzukage building, smiling at people walking past him and the children running up to him.
He would listen to what they told them and go along before they rejoined their mothers as the women bowed their heads to him, and he bowed his head to them before continuing on his way.
He walked past the market as trainers and fishermen started to sell their goods. They smiled at Naruto, who smiled back before he approached his building. He walked in and up the stairs and found Shion sitting at her desk in her secretary attire: the purple suit and lime green button-up shirt.
She smiled at Naruto as Naruto nodded and walked into his office. He felt the Onmitsukidō in position, waiting and standing guard of their kage.
He then sat behind his desk, turned to look at his village, and smiled before he heard the speaker go off. "Naruto-sama, Team 1 is here for a mission," Shion told him as he turned around.
"Send them in," he told her as the door opened, and Kengai and her team walked in. "Alright, then, let's see what I got," Naruto said as he shifted through paperwork on his desk before he found something.
"It's a D-Rank mission. It seems that the workers of Wave down by the harbour need some ninjas to help with the wall," Naruto said as he handed the scroll over to Kengai, who took it. This is the perfect time to teach them the Tree Walking along with the Water Walking," he told her as she nodded at him, and the four walked out.
Tayuya's team walked in next, and she now sported a scar across her left arm. "We're ready for our mission," she told Naruto, who smiled at her with a raised brow.
"Are you healthy enugh to do a mission," He asked her as she nodded at him.
"You bet your ass," Tayuya said as her students nodded.
"Alright then, some workers are paying us to guard them returning to Wave for some supplies, that means that this is a C-Rank mission, and for some extra pay, make sure you can spread the word that Uzu is now active," Naruto told her as she nodded at him as he handed the scroll before she went to meet with the person.
After she left, Utakata walked in with Hotaru, both sporting Uzu headbands. They smiled at him, so Naruto pressed the buzzer. "Shion, can you send two Genin for the new team?" Naruto told his secretary.
"New team," Utakata asked as he looked at Naruto.
"I'm makig you the Jōnin sensei of Team 3, and so for the only memver is, Hotaru," Naruto said as Utakata nodded while Hotaru smiled.
"Thank you Uzukage-sama," She told him.
After ten minutes, two Genin walked in and walked up to Naruto.
They both were boys with black hair; one had blood-red eyes while the other had dark blue eyes.
"Right then, you two are going to be joining Team/ Team 6," Naruto said before Utakata cut him off. He smiled at Naruto, who nodded. Team 6, and your first mission—" he told them as they listened to him.
