===July 19, 10:03 PM, Wave Country, Mayuri's Bunker===

As Naruto followed Nemu into the main lab he sat at the main computer. "What's the situation with the black market auction."

Mayuri's face appeared on the main screen. "We have received a message, it would seem that she managed to stop the auction and was able to capture everybody involved as you asked her to do, she is now on route back to the base with all the prisoners and the clan that was being sold. She also took the liberty to free the other slaves that were being sold as well gathering everything in the auction's base of operation including a large supply of artifacts and vintage weapons. According to the catalog that she found most of them belonged to various famous ninjas and kunoichi from each of the Ninja villages, some dating back to the Warring Clans era and the founding of the villages that have either been stolen from the villages are were lost in combat."

Naruto nodded.

"There are also tapestries and paintings, hundreds of Scrolls from different areas across the Elemental Nations and a large supply of Jewelry and other precious metals, she also took all the money from the bidders after knocking them all out with a bust of Reiatsu. Among the audience she found a dozen Rogue ninjas she's bringing in, and according to the message they're B-Rank and A-Rank, with one S rank Ninja that she was forced to kill but was able to save the body to collect the bounty."

"How is she transporting everything?" Naruto asked.

"She's transporting everything in different wagons that were at the auction. using the clan and other slaves as a cover, they're disguised as a caravan on a pilgrimage to a new Village according to the message. At the current pace they'll arrive tomorrow afternoon."

"Very well. I'm going to turn in, but I want to be notified the moment they arrive." Naruto turns to Nemu. "Let me know if there are any issues with the babies, according to my clones memories a few of the women from the village are looking after them in one of the living quarters." Naruto had to suppress a chuckle and the memory of all the women gushing over the babies when his clones arrived, they'd been taking a tour of the Academy and said they'd be happy to take care of them until he left.

Nemu nodded. "I will keep you posted Naruto-kun."

===10:06 PM===

As Naruto walks down the corridor leading to training room 2 he begins to think of all the things that he can do with all the items being brought in. "I guess if this catalog has a list of where the items came from I can return them, especially the weapons, I'm sure I can use them to get good standing with the villages by returning the village Treasures and if any of the items belonging to any of the noble families that can be returned I know this sounds petty, but it never hurts to grease the palms of the rich. If it could help me get in good with the other Nobles, as a future Lord myself I would do what needs to be done. If any of the items can't be returned they're going to be mine and help me get the Uzumaki and Namikaze Clans up and going. I can't explain it, but I have a feeling the civilian Council has done something with my money, which is going to result in me having to exterminate them." Naruto said, thinking out loud and telling his parents, both agree with him.

Naruto can then hears his mother ask him what is he going to do with the slaves and the clan. "I'm going to see if they'll re-establish the clan here in Wave, as for the slaves, since that's illegal in Fire Country..." Naruto suddenly stopped in his tracks and pulled a piece of paper from his jacket pocket and quickly made a few notes. "That just gave me an idea. I might have to do a little research first, but I think I can use that later..." He put the note away. "Back to what I was saying before I got sidetracked, I would try and get them home if they have one, if not I could always welcome them into our Clans as servants so I have people to watch the children while I'm out on missions and keeping the house clean. This would protect them from politics and people trying to harm them because anyone attacking them would be attacking my Clan also."

"Naruto-chan I can't tell you how proud I am of you, and how you're always going out of your way to help people even when you don't know who they are. Even after everything that's been thrown at you it's good to see that you still have a heart of gold and embrace the true Uzumaki spirit to always help those who need help whether they be an ally or enemy."

===Training Room 2===

Naruto followed the lanterns toward the campsite, not that he needed to as he 'd always had good night vision, he heard soft crying coming from one of the tents, approaching it he moved the flap and saw a young girl maybe four or five years old with long black hair sitting on her hands and knees crying, she looked up, saw him and started crying harder. He slowly moves close and gets down on one knee, the moment he's on her level she lunges forward and hugs him tightly.

"Please don't send me back to the orphanage, I'm so sorry it won't happen again!" She said, crying harder.

Naruto wrapped his arms around her and gently rubs her back. "It's okay, I'm not going to send you back to the orphanage, now please tell me what's going on and why are you crying?"

She looks up at him with tears in her eyes. "You promise you won't send me back?"

Naruto nods. "There's nothing you could have done that would make me send you back."

"I had an accident." She said, her head down.

Naruto's nose twitched a moment later, telling him what happened. He hugged her. "That's okay, these things happen, now let's get you cleaned up okay. If I remember correctly your name is Ashia." She nods. Naruto grabbed some clean clothes out of the duffel bag and quickly takes her down to the bathroom to get cleaned up. Once back in the training room, as he's tucking her in she asked him a question.

"Since you adopted us, does that mean your our new Daddy?" She asked.

Naruto smirked. "Technically yes, but I think it be better if you call me Big Brother, but you don't need to worry, pretty soon you're going to have my parents back and I'm pretty sure they're going to love you as much as I do." Ashia lets out a cute little yawn, says good night big brother, rolls over and falls right asleep. He goes back to his tent and right before he passes out he can hear the voice of his mother.

"Naruto-chan you handled that very well and I'm sure you are going to make a terrific father one day." Kushina said.

===July 20, 6:42 AM, Mayuri's Bunker, Training Room 2===

Naruto was sleeping peacefully the next morning when suddenly he felt an itching on his cheek, he scratched his cheek, but it wasn't going away so he cracked open his eye to see he's surrounded by all the children. It's one of the kids poking his cheek. "What do you want?" He said and buried his head underneath his pillow.

They giggle. "It's morning big brother." A boy said.

Naruto pulled his head out from underneath his pillow. "I bet you guys..." Naruto said then can feel weak killer intent, at least compared to what he's use to. "...and of course you little princesses all want breakfast." He gets up and stretches, popping his back, he looks around but doesn't see Hanabi. Thinking she must be outside he leaves his tent and to his surprise finds her hanging upside down from a tree with a gag in her mouth. He walks up to her with a smirk on his face. "So how's it hanging Hanabi?" She narrows her eyes at him, through her gag he can not make out her words and decides to have mercy on her, so he removes the gag.

"I swear when I get down you little brats are going to get it!" Hanabi exclaims.

This makes Naruto laugh. After getting her down he starts getting the stoves ready to cook breakfast, making a few clones to finish he turns to face the children. "Everyone go and get cleaned up and when you come back we can have breakfast, Hanabi you keep an eye on them, and you have my permission to enact Vengeance on them... after breakfast." This makes all the kids responsible pale in fear, which makes him and Hanabi smile. He turns to his clones. "You, go get everybody so we can have breakfast, I'm pretty sure the ladies who are looking after the babies are going to be hungry... and get the teachers too."

===7:34 AM===

After an enjoyable breakfast with everybody, while the kids tell stories of Naruto's pranks and the women tried to flirt with Naruto showing him how good of a mother they could be, this was hilarious to his parents, and Rangiku had trapped his arm between her large breasts and kept rubbing them into his shoulder while also trying to rub his whiskers... what made this even funnier was that she had recruited a few of the girls to help her after they told her that if she rubs his whiskers he'll purr. she did not now if it was true but she was determined to find out.

As the last few kids were finishing the doors opened, Rukia walked in, when she got close she dropped to one knee. "Uzumaki-sama, I'm here to give you a report, we were successful in our mission to Sea Country."

Once Naruto pried his arm free from Rangiku he headed for the door, as he's passing Rukia he rubs her hair. "Good job Rukia-chan, now follow me."

Rukia had a massive blush, with a scowl for the chan and being treated like a child, but she knew he was just teasing her and not being mean. She wouldn't tell him, but she's had worse Superiors and she liked him, and from the little she'd seen knew the kind of person he was... he was more laid back and playful than she'd prefer, but she also knew when it was time to get serious he was all business and not someone to be taken lightly.

Heading to a room he'd made into an office Naruto took his seat behind his desk. "Have a seat... I'm glad to see you returned safely Rukia, now please give me your report."

"Very well Uzumaki-sama..." Rukia replied.

Naruto raised his hand to stop her. "Please call me Naruto, I'm not one for formalities with friends."

"I can do that... upon arrival we encountered a small village that was pretty run down and began asking around about a strange creature, people were reluctant to tell us anything. As nobody in the village was willing to help us so we begin to search at the beach, that's when we came up on a group of boys attacking a young girl wearing bandages..." Rukia had to stop her report temporary as memories of the Rukon District came to mind, letting out a small breath she began the report again. "...after we chased the boys away we checked on the girl who was unconscious by then. We could tell something was wrong, she had scales like a fish hidden beneath the bandages, after a while she regained consciousness and we learned that her name was Isaribi. When we mentioned the scales she became reluctant to tell us anything, even going as far as to try to runaway." Rukia said.

Naruto nodded, an angry frown on his face.

"Due to malnutrition and injuries that she sustained she was unable to run very far, once we were able to stabilize her again she told us that she was stung by jellyfish and that is the cause of the scales. We could tell that she was lying and we eventually got her to tell us that a scientist by the name of Amachi was helping to cure her, when we asked her to take us to see this scientist she didn't want to do it at first, but when we said that we need to speak to him she took us to an island named Jiro Island, not even an hour after we reach the island we learned that he was in fact a mad scientist doing experiments, trying to give people the ability to breathe underwater and working for a man named Orochimaru. He was using the girl to attack ships to gather more test subjects and supplies... she could transform into a fish-like girl, after a brief fight with him he turned into a fish man and tried to summon a giant creature made of water, but did not stand a chance against my zanpakuto. I'm not sad to say he was killed in the attack and the base was destroyed, we were able to bring back Isaribi who is suffering from severe depression after finding out the man that she admired was using her as a guinea pig and had no intention of curing her, she's currently in the medical wing asleep."

Naruto nodded. "Thank you for your report, I'll expect a written report later today from all of you... speaking of, where are Shunsui and Jushiro?"

"They stayed in Sea Country to see if they could find anything in the wreckage of the base, they'll return when they finish." Rukia replied.

"Very good, you're relieved of Duty for the day." Naruto said.

===7:40 AM, Training Ground 2===

As Naruto entered he's set upon by all the children asking if they can go to the nearby Village, he was reluctant at first, but after hearing the women were going anyway to pick up supplies he caved. "Okay you can go, but you have to behave..." When the children didn't move he sighed. "...what do you want?"

"Well, we were hoping maybe we can get an allowance so we could buy some stuff ourselves." An older girl said.

"I suppose I can give you a small allowance." Naruto said, walked over to one of the tables, removed a scroll from his pocket, unsealed one of the 10 small stacks of mostly bank bound bills, and begins handing out allowances from the lose money. Some of the younger kids complain about how the older kids get more money. "They're older and mature enough to have a little more money, when you're older you'll get a bigger allowance." Naruto grabbed some more money, and as he turned around to hand it out he saw Rangiku and Momo standing there with innocent smiles.

"Can we please get a little allowance Naruto-kun?" Rangiku said, loosening the vest of her kimono and showing some cleavage.

With a red face Naruto hands over some money, while in the back of his head, unheard by his parents, he thinks. 'man those things are big and Since she rubbed 'em on my arm so I know they're soft.' After he gave some money to the women so they could buy the supplies they needed plus a little extra for themselves, which earned him a kiss from each of them, turning back to the table to put the money away and saw one of the bound stacks is gone. He quickly turned around to see a black cat bounding out the door with it in its mouth. "Dammit Yoruichi you could have at least asked me for it! He exclaimed. "That woman is crazy, you know." He said under his breath while he scratched the back of his head.

Naruto hears his Father. "For the love of Kami, he got your tick!" Followed by his Mother laughing... and scratching the back of her head.

===Main Laboratory===

With that taken care of and everyone gone he goes back to the main lab computer to see if he can find anything interesting on it. "Ok Mayuri, tell me everything you have on the Bloodlines and Kekkei Genkai of this dimension."

Next to his picture on the screen dozens of files and pictures pop up. "This was my most fascinating project I had in your dimension. I was able to study them as best I could, at least the ones that were there doing my time, through my research I was able to theorize that these are nothing more than mutations in the genes of a human body by activating certain genes and deactivating certain genes and combining them together in the body they were able to create the abilities. It was also helped by the environment that they lived in and what elements they're best suited to use."

Naruto sat back in his chair to absorb the information that he just got and let it settle into his brain, when he has an idea. "Tell me, do you have any information on the Hyuuga?"

All but one file closed. "They were originally from Cave Country near Rain, due to long periods of living in caves over the centuries they acquired a second lens over their eyes, this allowed them to see through walls and in the darkness. Over the generations this allowed them to make the fighting style that they used today and eventually to become a ninja Clan when they learned that they could disrupt the chakra network, it was a fascinating ability to have studied."

"You mentioned activating and deactivating genes, are you saying you can make a chemical compounds to deactivate the bloodline or to activate a certain bloodline in anybody who normally would not have the Bloodlines?"

"I am seriously beginning to believe that you underestimate my superior genius Uzumaki, activating genes in the human body would be child's play to me as I've already cataloged all the necessary data. I could easily take a group of people and make a copy of the another Clan by making them have the same bloodline, it would take them time to learn about the abilities and how to use them, but it would be possible.

===10:55 AM===

Nemu walked into the lab and with a quick glance knew from the lab and his posture Naruto had been sitting there for several hours.

Naruto turned around in his chair. "What can I do for you Nemu-chan?"

"Soifon just sent a message, they are about 10 minutes from the bridge."

Naruto quickly got to his feet, ignoring the soft popping of his knees and back, as well as Nemu's smirk. "Thank you for informing me Nemu-chan, I'm going to meet them. I would like you to go to the medical Wing and inform Unohana that she may be getting some new patients soon... never mind, I'll inform her myself, what I need you to do is get the living quarters ready, we're going to need them." Turning back to the main computer he types on the computer, activating the Regeneration Machine, seconds later the door opens and out walks Isane Kotetsu.

Isane looks around and then spots Naruto and gives him a small bow. "How may I be of service?"

"We're about to have a large group of people coming in and I want you and Unohana ready to give them all a medical exam, if you would please follow me I'll escort you to the medical wing."

===11:18 AM, Great Naruto Bridge, Wave Entrance===

Naruto is standing at the entrance to the bridge watching as the wagons pulled up and after the last wagon stopped he was approached by Soifon and two other women.

"Uzumaki-sama, may I present Fumi, she is the head of the Asusheipa Clan and her daughter Hisa." Soifon said.

Naruto turned to the two women. "It's a pleasure to meet you both." He noticed that both of them are basically staring at him, almost in awe, along with a large group of people behind them... but why?

Fumi approached Naruto, dropped to her knees and took both his hands. "Please tell me... are you truly an Uzumaki?"

"Yes, my name is Naruto Uzumaki, Head of the Uzumaki and Namikaze clans, the son of Princess Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze and the Crown Prince of Whirlpool Country." Within seconds there was a large group of people on their hands and knees in front of him.

With tears in her eyes Fumi looked up at him from her position on the ground. "Please accept our deepest apologies Lord Uzumaki, we failed your family after Whirlpool was destroyed, we returned to our Homeland believing that your Clan was destroyed. Our family swore Allegiance to your clan, had we known of your existence we would have instantly come to your aid, for 30 years now we have prayed there would a sign of an Uzumaki so we can serve that family once again... please accept us back into your grace and I swear we will serve you well, but if you wish you may punish us for our failure to protect your family and not seeking out any of your family in the Leaf Village as we should have it should have been obvious that your family would have gone there." With that said all of them put their heads on the ground waiting for his answer.

Naruto was lost in thought while his Mother told him about the Clan from her memories as a child in Whirlpool and how at one time they were very loyal to the Uzumaki Clan and how she herself thought the Clan was wiped out and never sought out any of them herself.

Naruto straightened up, using the clones memories on how to act like a noble. "Fumi Asusheipa, Head of the Asusheipa Clan... I, Naruto Uzumaki, Head of the Uzumaki Clan, hereby abolish your Clan of all past incidents and welcome you back into the service of the Uzumaki Clan. From this day forward you will establish your Clan in this Village, help it get on its feet and one day become a great ninja Village."

Fumi and her family stand up and give Naruto a bow. "We will do our very best to help this Village as you have instructed us Lord Uzumaki, using the teaching that we were gifted in Whirlpool."

Naruto walked over to a small group of 8 people with Soifon. "Uzumaki-sama, these are the remaining people that I was able to save who decided to join this Village." Soifon said.

"Greetings, let me be the first to welcome you to Wave Country. If you didn't hear, my name is Naruto Uzumaki. I'm a shinobi of the Hidden Leaf Village. I understand that you have all experienced great tragedy, being forced from your homes and taken captive. If you don't have a place to go and no one to help you, I will welcome you into my family. If you do not want to join my family I will help you in any way I can." Naruto said.

One of the men stepped forward. "What would you want in exchange for this?"

"I recently just found out about my family, my whole life I believed I was an orphan with no name, once I knew one of the first things I did was claim both my titles then adopted every orphan from the orphanage, but I'm only one person and an active Shinobi, meaning I will be going out on missions. What I am asking of you is to become servants to my clan, not slaves, but servants. Basically, what I need you to do is watch the children when I go out on missions, keep the grounds of my compound clean, and in exchange for this I will give you a home and a steady income. You don't have to make a decision now, you have plenty of time to think about it, the option will always be open to you." Naruto said.

Everyone nods in agreement. "Thank you, we'll think about it."

Naruto turns to Soifon. "Where are the prisoners?" She motions towards one of the wagons, he walked up to it, moved the tapestry over the back, looked inside and saw at least a dozen people bound and gagged, all of them unconscious. He looks at Soifon. "How long have they been out?"

"I gave them a sedative they were using the keep the slaves asleep during transport, it was at the auction base. I also have the antidote." Soifon said.

"Good, what about the Rogue ninjas that you captured?" Naruto asked.

"I've already turned them into one of the bounty houses that we passed and collected the bounties, it would seem one of them had an extra large bounty on his head if I brought him in alive." Soifon replied.

Naruto turns and looks at the crowd of people. "If everyone will follow me I'll show you where you going to be staying until we can get you settled in, I have a doctor standing by to give you all a physical so we can see if there was anything we need to worry about." As Naruto begins to lead them back to the academy he talks to Fumi and tells her about his time in the leaf Village and how he is helping this Village start up their own ninja program. He barely hears her whisper to herself "typical Uzumaki's".

===10:30 PM, An Empty Room===

Naruto decided to use one of the empty living quarters for this so he won't be disturbed. Sitting down he relaxes and enters his Mindscape. He appears in the sewer-like room and is instantly hugged by his mother.

"Naruto-chan!" Kushina exclaimed happily as she hugged her son tightly... until he's replaced by his briefly confused Father. With a cute pout she lunges at Naruto and tries to capture him again... this continued for several minutes to the amusement of his Father, who despite his laughter was taking mental notes, this had potential for actual use similar to his battle strategy with the Hiraishin Jutsu.

After being chased around the room for who-knows-how-long in actual time, the three of them are now sitting at a table, Naruto is looking at his mom who's still pouting cutely. "Don't worry Mom, the reason I'm here is to talk about how we're going to get you out, then you can go and chase your grand kids all you want." This seem to make her happy.

===About 20 Minutes Later, Mindscape Time===

"What about those puppets they use in Suna?" Naruto asks.

Minato rubs his chin a moment. "That could actually work, we would have to use seals to strengthen them which we could do easily, the only problem with that is Suna is very protective of their puppets and unless Mayuri was able to get scans of them we won't be able to build them."

"If I remember correctly they just came out with a new type of mannequin. They're used in the hospital to train people in how to do surgery, it's supposed to be very life-like, with fake organs and blood vessels." As both his parents sit back and talk about the different seals they would have to put on them Naruto turns to the nine-tailed fox. "If you like we can take your Consciousness out and put it in a vessel so you won't be stuck in this sewer room."

"And why would I want to help an insignificant mortal like you? I am the king of all demons and the lord of the bijuu, I would never help a human. You and your race are nothing to me and I will destroy you one way or another once I'm free of this infernal seal... then I'll destroy your worthless Village!" Kyuubi said and began laughing.

Suddenly the room begins to shake, "That is enough Kurama!" A very powerful voice booms. With a bright flash of white light there was suddenly a white-clad figure standing in the middle of the room.

Naruto and his parents have no idea who this is, but they hear a word almost whispered in respect from inside the cage... 'Father'.
