A/N-1: I putting this out mainly to gauge the readers and take ideas. Due to Hurricane Ida and living near where eye passed things are not ok. We have a generator thank God but still no main power. Luckily my router is working but my cell service is dodgy at best. So it may take awhile to respond to thing. Current I have this chapter and nearly the second finished but I need people to bounce things off of.
Now This is my try for my idea at the end of Insert Long Title. If you don't remember I asked if you wished to see Naruto save another world with his memories and powers intact from his previous two lives. He will would also have a Harem of Five. Anko will be with him as she is a Shinigami and both will be reborn into a new world.
This world will be a mix of the Manwhas Solo Leveling, Ranker Who Lives A Second Time and others. Kushina will be alive and will not be a Jinchuriki but a Dragon. Thus making Naruto half Dragon. The Otsutsuki will be a thing as well wishing to bring the world under their thumb.
Boruto characters will make appearances, well some and won't say who. Now I will probably switch between Hunter and Ninja so don't At me, they are both so I'll use both. Thank you for your Support and as a great man says. Let's Start The Fucking Ruckus.
Addendum: 9/13/21: I decided to make some changes with adding a reborn Kaguya Otustsuki into the new world but I'll also be expanding the Harem to Six. Kaguya will have memories of her past but will be half Kaguya and half Elf. The Otustsuki were the ones to give the world chakra but Hagaromo still created the Nine from the Jubi.
Addendum: 9/20/21: I've finally got full power after 22 days without it other than our generator but it died five days prior. However My family and I survived. A Huge Thank you to all the Lineworkers from all over who helped us. This should be a longer chapter with Naruto going into a gate with certain siblings, which was alluded to previously.
Addemdum: 9/28/2021: Went back and altered some appearances with a fixing of a few things.
Addemdum: 10/15/2021: Changed some minor things, nothing to major.
Addendum: 12/28/21: Another I know but I haven't looked at this chapter in a while and might make some changes, expand things, who knows.
Addendum: 2/20/22: First of the New Year but added a few more sentences about the world. And I've decided to Continue this story. I shouldn't let a Guest reviewer bring me down once again. So I am going to push forward.

#Land of Whirlpools - Uzushiogakure#
Naruto Uzumaki slowly opens his steel-blue eyes as the mid-morning rays decide to annoy him, courtesy of one of his maids. A weight is laying on his chest and it is in the form of someone who could've been his enemy in his previous life. Naruto slowly slips out from under his bed mate to sit up and stretch his chiseled body with a few scars from his younger day.
"Kaguya Otsutsuki the Progenitor of Chakra.. Maybe I should've let Black-Zetsu attempt his little game.. A chance to fight a supposed Goddess.. So wasted" naruto thought. He is currently the Daimyo of Uzushio in his third life and he remembers the day Kami came to him. It was after the passing of his Princess Hinata at the age of eighty-five, with his Panda Tenten passing away at seventy-four. His fourth wife and Flower Ino passed on at seventy with his Hebi-hime Anko secluding herself from the world after faking her death at sixty-nine. Naruto himself hid under a special henge to watch his children grow and have children of their own. His pupil becoming Nanadaime and his oldest daughter become Kyudaime after his second in command's daughter became Hachidaime.
Kami asked the pair if they lived full lives and would they do it again, save another world from a calamity. He and anko agreed as both indeed lived full lives and were ready for their next journey together. Kami has the pair reborn into a fantastical world, where most of the population possessed powers other than chakra and were known as Hunters. Hunters are able to use a power called Magic, which is similar to chakra but more spiritual. The Gods gave humans magic to combat Magical Beasts and Gates but also what was lurking in the shadows. Interdimensional entities known as Rulers and Monarchs were using the world as their battlefield and the Gods could not let this continue. However one of the monarchs would side with the Gods to stop this war.
The contemporaries were still here as our world but instead of kaguya it was her clan who spread chakra to the world. Hiding in their tower known as the Heaven Tower among other fantastical people and places. Kaguya still gave birth to Hagoromo and Hamura but she was killed by her clan with the Jubi. Kami decided to give kaguya another chance at life and a better one with those who would actually love her. Eventually being reborn into a clan of elves inside the heaven tower but her father was from the Kaguya clan.
Her mother Althea Alea named her after the clan due to a dream sent by Kami thus her name being Kaguya Alea. Kaguya would meet naruto inside the tower when he was young on the seventh floor and would serve as a guardian due to his blessings. Eventually becoming his lover and gaining a love of sweets and cute things like bunnies but also naruto and his soon to be lovers.
Other events happened as Hashirama Senju fought Madara Uchiha but this time both men had hunter abilities. Madara even used a Biju sized dragon named Ashen One or Bryagh instead of Kurama the Kyubi no Yoko but ultimately failed once again. However he escapes and went into hiding and fathers son, who would have a son named Minato Namikaze. However instead of being the man of virtue like in naruto's previous world. He was a man of greed like many who lived in the village of Konohagakure no Sato.
Greed and a lust for power spread after death hashirama as many within his own clan, his students and his village fought for the remains. This would force his brother Tobirama to flee with what remains of his clan that wasn't filled with greed. Eventually these Senju fled to the island nation of uzushio, mingling with the Uzumaki and races who lived there. This would lead to the birth of the Legendary Healer Tsunade Senju, great granddaughter of hashirama.
Naruto's own birth was legendary as well but also filled with treachery as konoha sent his father to woo the head of uzumaki and secretly a dragon Kushina Uzumaki or commonly known as the Summer Queen. His mother knew the traitorous thoughts of his father but decided to allow him to try and woo her, failing miserably but his mother sensed the inherent power within him and took him to her bed. Once she was sufficiently sure she pregnant she had his father killed with a way that wouldn't be traced back to her and uzushio by having him die within the Demon Tower. This tower being the dark counterpart of the heaven tower and filled with demonic creatures of many shapes and sizes.
Konoha and Fire Country were incensed at his father's death as he was the Yondaime Hokage but without evidence of any wrongdoing all they could do was glare and bare it. The alliance between the two great countries becoming frosty at best but it did not stop them from cursing the summer queen for this.
Nine months later naruto was born with no trace of his father's blond hair but black and red hair. Unlike his previous life kurama was never sealed into his mother or him, instead living on uzushio and lazing about to have several children. Kami made sure naruto was born with his both his powers, as well as the powers of the Shadow Monarch and Ruler of Death Ashborn. This power would make him the ruler of uzushio and one of the most powerful Ninja slash Hunter.
#-#
Naruto stares into his full length mirror at his form, droplets of water and steam still dripping from his muscular frame. He is a towering six foot-four once again with a runners set of legs, his skin fair like his mother and his hair a bushy red hair with the sides shaven but black in colour. Several runic tattoos adorn his body along with faux dragon scales down his left arm, with an assortment of tattoos representing his clan. The most distinct was the full back tattoo of a pair of angel wings embracing numerous flowers of different species to represent his fallen wives, children and grandchildren.
"Well you won't have to get use to the height like before" Zetsuei or the Six-Headed Dragon of Chaos muses, standing behind him with a towel. She has long crimson hair with streaks of white her eyes being one sapphire eye and one ruby eye with black sclera. She wears casual clothes of a black skirt and white blouse with a black cravat. Naruto takes the towel and starts to wipe himself off, "True but I wonder what the others are like in Konoha" he says.
"Well you get to find out as you get to head there.. They have an Unranked Gate in need of closing" zetsuei says, dispelling. The former blond sighs with a roll of his neck, grabbing his red boxer-briefs and slipping them on. He heads to find his clothes for the day left by his maid but finds kaguya starting to wake up.
"Why didn't you wake me" kaguya says, rubbing her right eye cutely. She has pale skin with butt length white hair, pale green eyes and two red circles on her forehead, wearing a light pink nightgown with bunnies on it. Naruto softly smiles and sits on the edge of the bed to give her a soft kiss to her temple, "You looked so cute sleeping.. We didn't want to wake you" he says and kaguya sighs, puffing her cheeks.
"Alright... However do you wish me to accompany you and Anko to Konoha" kaguya asks but naruto shakes his head.
"We'll be fine.. Continue focusing on your training" naruto says and kaguya nods, getting out of bed and heading to take her own shower. He finds his clothes and slips on a pair of loose-fit blue boot cut jeans with a skull-head belt and white socks. A long sleeve, form-fitting red shirt with bionic arm graphics over a form-fitting muscle shirt. A pair of silver-tip and heel cowboy boots, six special black bracelets of three on each arm, a long medallion with his clan's symbol in silver and lastly a silver skull ring signifying his marriage to his partner in crime Anko Uzumaki.
"Speaking of which.. Where is Anko" naruto thought.
"Perhaps training in the garden.. She is close to attaining her Bankai" zetsuei comments. Naruto tilts his head with a sigh and grabs a black diamond head cane, which was zetsuei in disguise. Naruto makes his way out of his expansive bedroom and finds his way to the garden, many servants greeting him as he passes.
"Konan and Tsunade are probably Jealous that they can't publicly marry you like Anko" zetsuei says.
"Technically there isn't a CRA for me but as a Daimyo.. I can have mistresses along with a wife... Besides Tsunade is able to legally keep her clan name.. Same with Kaguya" naruto thought.
"True and Kushina-sama wants you to have five mistresses.. So you better get to finding two more" zetsuei says and the monarch sighs. Naruto continues on but a small noise catches his attention and he turns to catch a small white fox with three tails, "Fou" she croons, rubbing her head under his chin.
"You found me Fou.. Come on let's find An-chan" naruto says and fou climbs on his shoulder. The pair reach the garden as a small weight hits his shoulders and the source being anko meditating in the garden. Her reiatsu waving off her still form with Wisteria-Mamba or Wis driven into the ground. Anko in this new world is a member of the One-Horn Tribe, powerful beings and skilled martial artists. All having either one goat like horn on the left or right sides of their heads and sharp eyes. Anko herself having a black horn on her left temple with long light violet hair to her waist and haunting brown-gold eyes.
"Naru-kun.. Finally awake huh" anko says, opening her eyes. She wears dark blue custom obi style dress with a white, silk short skirt and garter straps to white fishnet stockings with dark blue and black boots that button up the side with a small heel.
"You're just early" naruto says, giving her a long and hungry kiss. A presence makes herself known in the form of the mother of naruto and Yondaime Uzukage of uzushiogakure. Kushina has long crimson hair to her knees and a roundish face with dragon like purple eyes and fair skin. She wears a black but revealing kunoichi shozoku with her hips and back bare along with a crimson haori on her shoulders.
"Khm.. If you're done sucking face.. We have things to discuss" kushina says, smirking softly. Anko scoffs with a giggle as naruto blushes slightly, "We know Mama.. Don't trust anyone in Konoha" she says. Fou leaps into kushina's arms with a look on her face, "True but don't show off too much.. Your Father was from Konoha and they will do Everything to entice you into joining hands with them.. So be careful showing off your Sharingan or your other abilities.. That goes for both you" kushina says.
"Of course but not like they have someone on my level.. I make their S-class hunters look like jokes.. Besides I can perhaps add to my army with this gate" naruto muses, hugging his mother.
"Makes you wonder why they would contact Uzushio.. If they have S-class hunters and some touted A-class" anko says, hugging kushina.
"The reason doesn't matter.. We can scout Konoha and garner their intentions for the future" naruto says.
"That's right.. However be careful Sweetie and you too An-chan.. Once you two finish with this gate.. Head to Sunagakure and discuss the terms of our alliance.. Then link up with Nagato in Ame" kushina says and both nod. Kushina leaves the pair and takes fou with her to deal with her dreaded enemy or instead play with the fox.
"Should we use Shunpo or one of your mounts" anko says. Naruto twirls his cane in thought but sees kaguya approaching, "Coming to see us off.. I didn't think you would make it" he says.
"Hey Ya-chan" anko crows. Kaguya is wearing form-fitting black pants with the right leg cut a few inches below of her hip, a black stocking covering the bare leg with lavender fur around the top along with ankle boots, also having lavender fur. A form-fitting but sleeveless white blouse with a low-cut black corset vest and arm length black gloves with lavender fur wristbands.
"Hello An-chan and yes I wanted to see you off" kaguya says. Anko gives kaguya a quick peck on the lips, "You should come with.. It'll be fun" anko says.
"I need to finish working on my Dances.. Also I can train with Kushina-sama or Tsunade" kaguya says.
"We'll treat you to your favorites when we get back" naruto says, hugging her and anko does the same before the pair vanish.
"Have a safe trip" kaguya says, before vanishing in a swirl of wind.
#Konohagakure no Sato - Land of Fire - One Day Later#
Konohagakure no Sato stands as a testament to the power of Hi-no-kuni, whether for their technology or the power of their ninja-hunters. The land of fire boasts several S-class hunters and ninja with one even reaching the SS-class but those times were in past as their ninja and hunters were in decline. Inside the tallest tower of konoha is Hiruzen Sarutobi Sandaime Hokage, forced to retake the mantle after the death of Minato Namikaze the Yondaime Hokage and vaunted SS-class hunter.
"The only silver lining is we get to meet Minato-kun's son and perhaps bring him to his True home" hiruzen thought. He has grey hair and liver spots with a grandfatherly face, wearing a red kimono, white obi and matching haori. The door opens and it reveals hiruzen's advisors Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane and Danzo Shimura.
"Any word on his arrival" koharu states. She is older woman with gray hair in a bun and hair needles, wearing a kimono with a haori coat.
"He should be arriving around mid-morning with one other.. Apparently with his wife" hiruzen says.
"A Wife?!" homura says. He is a stern looking man with grey hair and glasses, wearing similar clothes to koharu. Danzo grips his brown cane with a narrowed eye, "Then someone got to him first" he says. He has an x-shape scar on his chin with black, shaggy hair, and his right eye was bandaged. He wears a long white shirt under a black robe, that covers his right shoulder and to the floor.
"Will your Sharingan be able to take control of him" hiruzen says. Danzo moves towards the window with a serious look, "It will and we'll have Uzushio's Daimyo under Konoha's control.. Then Uzushio's riches as well" he says. The designated time soon arrives and hiruzen stands at the massive gates of the village with several of his Anbu and A-class ninja-hunter Kakashi Hatake, known as Kakashi no Sharingan.
"I can't believe that Bitch kept Sensei's son" kakashi says. He has silver hair oriented to right with his hitai-ate over his left eye and wearing the standard konoha uniform. It consists of long sleeve blue shirt with matching pants, olive green flak vest, blue gloves with a strip metal across the knuckles and black boots.
"Careful Kakashi.. Kushina is known as The Summer Queen and her reach is long" hiruzen says. The sound of a horse catches their ears and hiruzen gasps but kakashi more so, seeing a large Clydesdale horse but not a normal one. It was black and purple with wisps of smoke running from its body.
"Haunting" kakashi says. Hiruzen clears his throat and lights his pipe with a little Katon chakra, "Indeed and that must be Naruto-kun" he says. The horse comes to the halt with a several haunting neighs as naruto and anko sit upon it with the latter sitting sideways. Anko hops down first and turns as naruto hops down with his cane, "So this is Konoha.. Strongest of the Great Five" she says.
"Arguably" naruto says, turning his gaze to hiruzen and kakashi. They weren't his sensei or gramps in this world but conniving bastards who want power only for konoha and by extension fire country.
"So this the power of the Son of the Summer Queen and she's of the One-Horn Tribe.. This makes things precarious" hiruzen thought, feeling the crushing aura. Kakashi was not doing well as naruto's aura was nothing to scoff at, "I-it's like be drowned in darkness" he thought, seeing the dark aura wafting off naruto. Hiruzen tips his kage hat down and takes a puff of his pipe, "Hello... Welcome to Konoha and Thank you for answering our call" he starts, extending his hand. Naruto looks at the hand but keeps his hands on his cane, "Some Welcome.. Especially for someone of My caliber" he says, reaching for the cigarette in his mouth. Anko smirks as the Anbu and kakashi take offense, "Well things are different back home.. So you can't expect such fanfare" she says. Naruto drops his cigarette and grinds it into the ground with his boot, "Right... My name is Naruto Uzumaki and this is my wife Anko Uzumaki" he says.
"Nice to meet you.. I am The Sandaime Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and this is Kakashi Hatake.. He will accompany you into the Gate" hiruzen says and naruto slowly nods.
"Mother tells me.. You were a student of my father" naruto says.
"Yes... He was a great man and an even greater Sensei... Now I'll be leading the team with Two other Jonin" kakashi says.
"Let's head into the village to discuss things further" hiruzen says. Naruto turns to his horse and raises his right hand with a small wave, and all of them gasp but anko as it melts into smoky shadows.
"What was That?!" both men thought. Anko takes her husband's left arm to follow the hokage and his contingent, "I wonder what They are like" anko thought.
"One can only wonder Mistress.. This is not the home of our past" wis muses. Naruto was having similar thoughts as his eyes trail over the splendor of konoha, "I have to remember.. They won't be our Tenten.. Ino and Hinata.. They are simply strangers" he thought.
"It will be hard to suppress those feelings.. However if they are beautiful as before.. Konoha may use them" zetsuei says.
"True.. According to our spies.. Certain events did happen.. The Uchiha weren't massacred but Itachi Uchiha fled the village with his Fiancée Izumi after the death of his best friend.. Her brother Shisui and his mother Mikoto" naruto thought. The group soon reach the tower and make their way to hiruzen's office, "I'm amazed the Yondaime would answer our call" hiruzen says.
"She wasn't happy to do so... She still remembers how Konoha and the Daimyo treated her... When it was my Father's choice to enter the Demon Tower" naruto says.
"She could've warned him" kakashi says, edge to his tone.
"Mother did not warn me either.. If my father was such a great man as many tell me.. Then he should've prepared accordingly" naruto rebuffs and kakashi took offense but hiruzen raises his hand.
"The death of a Kage is note-worthy especially since he was an SS-class Hunter" hiruzen counters and naruto waves dismissively, giving him the supposed argument.
"True... Now tell me about the Gate" naruto says. Hiruzen leans back in his chair and ushers kakashi to explain and he clears his throat, "It was a C-class Gate and we sent in our Rookie 9.. However once they entered.. The Gate changed to an A-class or even stronger" kakashi explains and naruto narrows his eyes as do anko.
"Rookie 9" anko asks.
"It's a squad made up of our Rookie Genin.. All of them from our Great Clans" kakashi replies.
"One of which is your half Sister" hiruzen interjects and naruto betrays nothing.
"So That's it.. He wants me to enter the gate to save their Future Clan Heads including my sister.. Then while I'm here have Danzo pick my brain to make me loyal" naruto thought.
"Sister" naruto says, glancing to anko.
"Yes... Fuyumi Namikaze is your half sister and apart of the Rookie 9 Squad.. They formed a larger squad but are made up of smaller teams lead by myself.. Asuma Sarutobi.. Might Gai and Kurenai Yuhi but the latter won't be accompanying us due to her Stupid actions" kakashi explains.
"Stupid actions" anko asks.
"She disobeyed orders" hiruzen replies. Naruto clears his throat with a sigh, "So where is the gate and when do we leave.. We don't want a Dungeon Break" he says.
"The gate is inside the Forest of Death.. Asuma and Gai have went ahead to inform the guards" kakashi explains.
"Well let's go kill a Boss" anko crows, thrusting her fist into the air and both men sweatdrop as naruto sighs.
#Forest of Death#
The forest was as imposing as ever and according to stories was the sight of a dungeon break but due to the trees created by hashirama it spread to its current form. It creates weak gates and its wildlife was mutated, thus used for the Chunin Exams to test the genin-hunter's mettle.
"The Gate is this way" hiruzen says, leading them to one of the entrances where numerous people were running around. However two stood out as the son of the sandaime and one potentially on the verge of becoming an S-class hunter.
"Yosh.. They have arrived" gai shouts. He still has his bowl-cut and thick eyebrows, wearing a green jumpsuit with orange leg warmers and a jonin vest.
"No need to shout" asuma says. He has black hair and a full beard with a cigarette in his mouth, wearing the standard uniform but has a sash from his time as a Fire Guardian. However both men snap into a cold sweat as naruto's power falls on them, "I-I hear he may be as powerful as the Yondaime was or even stronger.. He's not ranked among Hunters so no one knows and he's only some kid.. No older than our rookies" asuma says.
"He is indeed powerful and the young woman with him is as well" gai says.
"Asuma... Gai... This is Naruto and Anko Uzumaki" kakashi says and they exchange pleasantries. Naruto then turns his gaze to the gate itself, "Most low rank gates are stable but this" he thought.
"Otsutsuki" zetsuei questions.
"Possible but why though" naruto thought and turns his gaze to hiruzen.
"How long have they been in there" naruto asks.
"About two days" kakashi says. Naruto cups his chin in thought and looks back to the gate, "They could be Dead already.. However there is no telling what was inside.. We shouldn't risk any more of your people.. Anko and I can handle this alone" he says.
"What?!" asuma snaps but hiruzen raises his hand.
"That is most generous of you but if that is case.. Then we would take All the spoils to make this concession" hiruzen says.
"Crafty" naruto thought but smiles, "Of course.. The gate should remain open for at least one day after the Boss is killed.. So do as you feel best" he says. Naruto then raises his cane and hiruzen gasps as it turns into a katana with whirlpool guard and a diamond on the sheath.
"Well.. We'll be on our way" naruto says. Hiruzen watches naruto and anko enter the gate with a calculating eye, "That Witch has taught him well" he thought.
"Was that wise Hokage-sama" kakashi says.
"This still works.. Sai will report on his abilities" hiruzen says and kakashi slowly nods, while gai weeps about youthful children.
#-#
"So this is it" anko says. The pair were standing in front of a large cave entrance, "Don't sound so bored" naruto muses, as he slips off a bracelet and tosses it in the air. A plume of smoke erupts from the glowing bracelet and a belt harness appears. Anko takes zetsuei as naruto catches the harness and proceeds to slip it on around his waist and securing it at the thighs.
"What do you think is inside" anko asks. Naruto shrugs as he slips zetsuei into the harness and they make their way inside. Several minutes inside the cave the pair find the corpse of a spider and it was the size of a small lion. It resembles a black widow but red in color with the tell-tale marking being purple.
"Spiders... It had to be spiders" naruto says, checking the corpse and seeing it was burned but slashed in sections.
"Those rookies have been busy" anko says, pointing and naruto sees numerous spiders but some were a different color and species.
"A nest of some kind with multiple species" naruto says and removes two more of his bracelets, tossing them to the ground.
"Kaga.. Akagi" naruto says and both bracelets glow, exploding with smoke. The smoke dies down to reveal two foxes the size of a mature tiger, one brown with red eyes and the other white with blue eyes, each having six tails and the bracelet around their necks as a collar.
"How can we help Naruto-kun" the brown one says.
"We need to find several Hunters.. Should be Nine in total Akagi" naruto says.
"Shouldn't be too hard" the white one says and anko giggles.
"True Kaga.. Can you sniff them out" naruto says and both foxes sniff the air. The four continue through the cave system for some time and find more corpses, "So what's your sister like" anko asks.
"Not sure.. He had her before he went into the Demon Tower.. Mother told me about her when I was six.. So we'll see what sort of person she is" naruto replies. A dark aura hits them as they reach a large cavern that splits into two paths, "The Boss is in that direction and the hunters that way" kaga says.
"You find the Rookies.. The boss is mine.. Kaga.. Akagi go with her" naruto says and the foxes nod. The four split off and anko follows the foxes down a path downward but come to a wall of rock a different color to the rest.
"Here they are" anko says, before shattering the wall with a roundhouse kick. Inside were nine people with a few holding weapons, "Who are you?!" the brash Kiba Inuzuka shouts. He wears a leather form-fitting black jacket with zippers over the chest and sleeves, along with black pants, sandals and metal forearm gauntlets.
"Anko Uzumaki and they are Kaga and Akagi" anko says, looking around and seeing they were more or less unharmed.
"You're from the One-Horn Tribe" another says, she recognizes as Shikamaru Nara and gets some gasps. He wears the typical konoha attire but without a vest and a cigarette in his mouth.
"For real Shikamaru" Ino Yamanaka and her former sister-wife says. She wears purple outfit consisting of a purple high-collar blouse and matching apron skirt with shorts and sandals, carrying a healing staff and a witch's hat.
"Got it in one.. So who's the leader of this merry band" anko asks.
"I am and you look enticing.. How about we get to know one another Ms. Uzumaki" a third says, being the ever arrogant Sasuke Uchiha. He wears a light blue shirt with shin-guards and a black, open-front apron with white diamonds on the bottom and black cargo pants, along with steel-toe boots.
"I know I am and unfortunately for you.. It's Mrs. Uzumaki.. I'm married" anko says.
"Married!.. Then you need to file for divorce and marry Sasuke-kun" the pink hair menace Sakura Haruno shouts and anko shoots her a dark look, causing her to look away.
"Bitch" sakura whispers. She wears a pink-black high-collar blouse and with black shorts, pink leggings and knee high kunoichi sandals with a healing tome. Anko also sees the other members of the rookie nine but Hinata was completely different from their previous life and Tenten wasn't among them. For one hinata dressed more provocative with a mesh sports bra showing off her flat stomach, light blue short-shorts, a white coat with lavender cuffs and middle, along with calf length ninja sandals and elbow length gauntlets.
"Regardless of what you want Pinkie.. My husband and I were sent by your Hokage to save you and clear the dungeon" anko says but the area rumbles.
"What was that?!" gai's mini clone and son Rock Lee shouts, wearing the same outfit as his father but no vest.
"Naruto must be engaging the boss" kaga says.
"Who's Naruto?!" another blonde asks but her hair looks almost white. She has blue eyes and her hair is shoulder-length aside from the ear-length side bangs and done up in a small bun. She wears a black uniform jacket with an orange zipper and buttons on the waist and sleeves, orange pleated skirt with white leggings and black sandals. She has a pair of kodachi swords on her waist with forearm bracers and shin guards.
"You must be Fuyumi.. Well the simple answer.. Your half brother Naruto Uzumaki" anko says and the rookies gasp or some of them do.
"M-my brother" fuyumi says.
"What... You didn't know" anko says and fuyumi nods.
"Well I-i did.. Jiji to told me I had a brother but not who he was" fuyumi says and anko smirks, stroking kaga's head.
"Well your big brother is a Daimyo and the pinnacle of all Hunters.. Being only Seventeen" anko says.
"What?!" sasuke snaps.
"Yep someone no older than all of you is one of the most powerful even among S-class Hunters" anko says and sasuke grits his teeth.
"We should head to the Entrance.. Naru-kun won't be too long" anko says.
"This is our Gate.. Why should he kill the Boss!" kiba shouts but hinata smacks him.
"This isn't a Gate for us to handle.. It's clear we weren't ready" hinata snaps.
"White-eye is right.. According to the Hokage this was a C-rank dungeon but changed into an A-rank" anko says.
"What?!.. We're just Genin C-class Hunters" the rotund Choji Akimichi says, wearing tanker armor over the standard attire but the shirt red. Hinata and her cousin Neji narrow their eyes at the white-eye crack but say nothing, "Let it go Neji" she says. He wears a white kimono-shirt with long, loose sleeves, matching pants, a navy-grey apron tied around his waist, and black shinobi boots. The last of rookie-nin named Sai creates some ink shaped mice to spy on naruto, "Danzo-sama will want to know how his powers work" sai thought. He wears a short black and grey jacket with red straps, a high-collar midriff shirt, black pants, shinobi sandals and gloves with his index and thumb fingers exposed.
"Well if you're all ready.. Let's head to the exit.. Kaga go to Naru-kun and let him know the news" anko says and the white fox trots off. The rookie-nine slowly follow anko and akagi to the exit as kaga heads to see her master kill the boss.
#Moments Earlier - Music: Hellwalker (Sign of Evil)- Doom(2016)#
Naruto removes two more bracelets to summon a pair of combat trench knives and slips them into slots on his harness as he makes his way to the boss' chamber. He then slips on a pair of white gloves with black fingers, the number of six on the left and zero on the right in old english.
"Will it be a challenge" zetsuei comments, as several spiders attack him but his Quicksword deals with them. Naruto slips off the last of his bracelets to summon a compound bow and quiver of arrows. Naruto secures the quiver to his right side as he makes his way through the tunnels, "Who knows" he thought, picking up the pace.
"This dungeon is like a maze" zetsuei comments.
"True" naruto thought, stepping on webbing and seeing various animals even other spiders as well. The webbing gives way to a massive cavern with light blue mana crystals but hanging above was the boss. It resembles a tarantula with thick red and black legs but a black widow's marking on its back in a white color.
"That's not the thing of nightmares" naruto muses, rolling his neck a few times. The boss wasn't moving as all ten of its eyes were locked on the area where naruto was standing but was asleep, "Thorkell would have a field day.. Well time to work" naruto thought, pulling three poison tipped arrows. Naruto pulls his bow taut and fires all three towards the boss, piercing between three of the eyes. The spider screeches as it comes to life, making its way down the webbing in pursuit of its attacker. Naruto eyes start to bleed into a red iris with three comma like shapes forming but quickly slips into a glowing purple, "Arise!" he utters, as his shadow bubbles and spreads.
"Those two should be enough" naruto says. On his left is a tall shadow man of about naruto's height with viking like armor and a large double-sided axe, his name being Ironside. On naruto right is one even larger and muscular man with a mane of black hair, wearing what appeared to furs of animals, bones with clawed hands and feet. Both warriors were made of shadows with wispy smoke and a purple glow where their skin would be.
"Beast Right flank!.. Ironside Left flank!" naruto shouts, firing more arrows. Both roar to provoke the spider and rush forward at their master's orders. Naruto sprints behind his vanguards and leaps with five arrows at the ready, piercing several spots as ironside slices into and finally through a leg with a roar. Beast tears into one of the larger eyes as the spider screeches, while naruto lands on its back and firing his remaining arrows as the spider slams into a wall.
"The poison should be taking effect" naruto thought, sending his bow into a seal on his medallion. He clenches his fists as white energy surges on his arms, bringing them down with a flurry of punches and cracking the shell.
"First you crack the shell.. Then you get the nuts inside" naruto crows and flashes signs to dragon.
"Raiton: Jibashi" naruto thought, slamming his hands into the broken shell. Lightning surges into the wound as the spider screeches in pain, slamming into the chamber's wall as naruto vanishes. He lands with a skid and a smirk as ironside slices off another leg but beast is tossed into the far wall. The spider suddenly spews a stream of viscous green acid as naruto dodges and hangs from the ceiling, "If I make it a shadow.. I wonder if that will be passed on" he thought, dropping down into a crouch. Beast recovers as ironside appears next to naruto, followed soon by beast. The spider growls with two of its legs missing and three eyes as well with acid still dripping from its maw.
"Time to end this" naruto says, drawing zetsuei. She hums as naruto releases his reiatsu with a purple-black aura, "Tremble... Zetsuei" he utters. Zetsuei glows and extends to six feet with several links of chain coming from the hilt. Naruto lowers his stance and rockets forward as the ground cracks, "Wind Dragon Dance" he shouts, swinging wide. The spider screeches as deep slashes open on its body, spraying dark green blood but the monarch of shadows vanishes. Naruto drives zetsuei into the spider's head and grins, "Ice Dragon Dance!" he roars. Ice explodes from the spider's head and it crashes into a wall and finally to the ground, unmoving as naruto slowly pulls his sword free.
"Boss slain" naruto muses, dropping down and seals zetsuei. Naruto turns to the spider boss as kaga arrives, before raising his right hand and his eyes glow purple once again.
"Arise!" naruto utters. The corpse jerks as few times before a shadow version of the spider boss rises from its corpse, now black with a purple glow from its eyes and the widow symbol.
"I'll call you.. Kumonga.. Naw something more... Aha Jorugumo.. That'll be your name Jorugumo" naruto says and the spider screeches.
"Naruto!.. Anko-sama is leading the Rookies out" kaga says. Naruto sheathes zetsuei with a roll of his neck as his shadows melt back into him, "Good.. We're finished here" he says but narrows his eyes, "Kaga" he says. Kaga acts quickly and fire several ice needles into several ink mice, "It must have been one of them" she says. Naruto slips a cigarette into his mouth and lights it with a match, "Konoha is fishing.. No matter it won't help them" he muses.[music end]

Hiruzen keeps his eyes on the gate as danzo has joined him, "Be prepared to Subdue him" hiruzen says, unaware anko could hear every word they said. Anko then turns her attention to the gate as naruto slowly steps out along with kaga.
"About time Naru-kun" anko shouts, stroking akagi's head. Naruto simply smiles with a wave as he nears the hokage and danzo, "The Boss has been dealt with and your rookies saved" naruto says.
"Thank you Naruto-kun" hiruzen says but naruto narrows his eyes, "Uzumaki-dono" he corrects, causing danzo to crease his brow but not betraying his anger.
"Your reputation precedes you.. You conquered the very Tower which took your father's life" danzo says. Naruto gives danzo an eye-smile with a light chuckle, "The same could said about you" he says but shifts his attention to hiruzen.
"I'm on a tight time-table.. I would like to meet my half-sister and test her measure" naruto says.
"Surely you would like to enjoy Konoha's hospitality.. Our Daimyo does quite frequently" hiruzen says. Naruto sighs as his eyes blink several times and gives the illusion that danzo has succeeded, "No... Unlike your Daimyo who sits on his throne and simply enjoys Konoha's hospitality.. I am out clearing Gates and bettering my country" he says.
"So if you can't provide me the chance to meet my sister.. I will be on my way" naruto adds.
"W-wait.. I can.. My Anbu will escort you back to the Hokage tower" hiruzen says, both nodding and all four follow an Anbu with a wolf mask.
"Did it work" hiruzen says, after naruto and company were gone. Danzo grips his cane with a narrowed eye and gnashes his teeth slightly, "No... He must be immune.. His Dragon side must be stronger than his Human side and prevents mental attacks" he says.
"Curse his mother.. Then what do we do now" hiruzen hisses.
"If he and the girl get along.. We can use the girl against him.. Perhaps sending her into a high rank Dungeon.. Then release she has gone missing.. Unlike her father.. She's weak and a disgrace to his bloodline... Even my own" danzo says.
"You would sacrifice your own granddaughter for Konoha.. That is something I could not do" hiruzen says.
"Sacrifices must be made for Konoha to remain strong and become the Strongest of the Great Villages" danzo says.
"Will you ever tell her" hiruzen asks.
"She is but a tool to used for Konoha.. Familial attachments serve no purpose" danzo says, walking away. Hiruzen watches his old friend and rival leave, "We may be of a similar mind but I can not make such choices.. Especially when it comes to my grandchild" he thought.
#-#
Naruto sits with anko in his lap in one of the meeting rooms within the kage tower. He sent kaga and akagi back home but then pulls out a coat to put on. It is black with light purple draconic patterns down the sleeves and three separated coattails with a purple lining.
"So how will you deal with this.. Even if she's your sister.. She's the heiress of the Yondaime's Namikaze clan" anko says, kicking her legs. Naruto strokes her stocking covered thigh, "We'll see what sort of person she is.. She may be nothing like him" he says.
"I can attest to that a little.. She was genuinely surprised about you.. Hell you should've seen Hinata.. The Uchiha was mightily upset.. Same with others... I guess they can't believe someone their age is someone so powerful and of such status" anko says.
"What about Panda and Ino" naruto says.
"Ino looks the same but weaker and Panda wasn't there" anko says, frowning and naruto touches his forehead to hers. The door of room opens and fuyumi enters with of all people kurenai, "This is my guardian Kurenai Yuhi" fuyumi says.
"Hello" kurenai says. She wears a red mesh armour blouse with only the right sleeve visible, a dress looking similar to bandages with a pattern on it similar to those of rose thorns with white shorts underneath along with kunoichi sandals and black leggings.
"Greeting... I am Naruto and this is Anko" naruto says, as kurenai and fuyumi take a seat.
"Thank you for coming our aid" kurenai says.
"Let's skip all the pleasantries.. The Hokage told us you disobeyed orders and that prevented you accompanying us into the gate" anko says. Kurenai frowns and glances to fuyumi with a sigh, "I voiced my apprehension about sending my team into a gate alone.. So soon after graduating the academy" kurenai explains.
"When did you graduate" naruto asks.
"Two months ago" fuyumi replies.
"For Real!?" anko shouts, getting off of naruto. The monarch narrows his eyes but puts it aside for now, "So you voiced an opinion and were shut down" naruto says.
"Yes... Due to being Fuyumi's guardian they believed I was too close.. Even though I am her Jonin Sensei as well" kurenai says.
"Then your opinion should count for something but judging by some.. It would fall on deaf ears.. Even though Fuyumi is the daughter of the Yondaime" naruto says.
"Something the two of you have in common as Kushina-sama is the Yondaime as well" anko comments and naruto nods.
"We share a Dad too" fuyumi says and again naruto nods.
"Many speak ill of Kushina-sama.. They blame her Yondaime-sama's death" kurenai says.
"Even if he chose to enter the Demon Tower.. Regardless of it.. What about your mother" naruto says and kurenai frowns.
"She passed away giving birth to Fuyumi.. I became her guardian when she was four" kurenai explains.
"I see.. My condolences" naruto says and fuyumi says thank you.
"You conquered the Demon Tower that took the Yondaime's life" kurenai says and naruto nods, smirking slightly. Anko pats naruto on the shoulder with a smirk of her own, "He sure did and is setting his gaze on the Heaven Tower" she says and kurenai's eyes widen.
"I see.. Not may would challenge the Heaven Tower.. Most don't go pass the lower floors" kurenai says.
"What's the Heaven Tower.. Is it like the Demon Tower" fuyumi asks.
"In a way but has challenges as well.. Plus it is more Team based" naruto explains.
"Our team is game-planning for it" anko says. Naruto looks at his watch and reaches into his pocket, "Fuyumi... I wish we could talk more.. However I have some business to take care of" he says and rises to his full height, shocking fuyumi.
"You can contact me through my Guild" naruto says. Naruto hands fuyumi the card and she looks it over, "Espada Guild?!.. It's one of the top guilds around" she says and anko smirks.
"If you want move up the ranks and get good gear.. Look us up" anko says and naruto sighs.
"Ignore her.. It was nice meeting you Fuyumi... Kurenai" naruto says, as the pair excuse themselves. Fuyumi holds the card as she lets out a shaky breath, "T-that was intense.. H-his Power" she says. Kurenai was of a similar mind to her surrogate child, "He does give off a heavy aura.. Her as well.. There are rumors abound that he's unranked but the same rumors have him as SS-class or even higher... His mother is known as the Summer Queen.. She's a very powerful woman and a dragon" she says and fuyumi furrows her brow.
"Rumors say she's not a normal human but a dragon.. She can turn into one too" kurenai adds.
"Is that what attracted Dad to her" fuyumi asks, shocked.
"In a way.. It was more political than romantic.. Konoha and Uzushio were old allies but after Yondaime-sama's death it became cold as ice.. So much we removed the red spiral from our Chunin and Jonin vests.. I am actually shocked Sandaime-sama convinced Uzushio to help us with this gate" kurenai replies. Fuyumi looks back at the card in thought, "My brother is pretty amazing.. Maybe..." she thought. Fuyumi shakes those thoughts away as she and kurenai leave the tower before parting ways, with the blonde heading to check on some new gear. Several greet her as she traverses the village, unlike some of the clan heirs and heiresses she wasn't stuck up or arrogant about her status.
"Welcome to Higurashi's" a man says. He is tall and muscular man with black hair and dark grey eyes, wearing forge style clothes.
"Hello.. Just looking for a new sword or swords" fuyumi says.
"Name's Senosuke.. We sell some premium blades.. Made from even more premium materials" the man says. Fuyumi slowly nods with a soft smile and goes to peruse senosuke's wares. There were various swords of various sizes, shapes, forms or styles.
"Do I want to stick to my Kodachis or change to a longer sword" fuyumi thought. She continues on but stops at a katana with a round guard and the hilt black and red with a corded red ribbon.
"That is special one.. It was drop from a Gate in Iron country.. Hunter sold it without a second thought.. Didn't recognize the quality at all" senosuke states. Fuyumi picks up the sword and slowly draws it to reveal a black blade, "Wow" she says, her tone excited.
"The price is thirty thousand but since you seem to know your way around a blade... Twenty Thousand" senosuke states. Fuyumi sheathes the sword with a nod and smile, "Sold" she declares and senosuke smirks.
#Scene Break - Next Day#
The next day fuyumi meets up with her teammates of Team-Kurenai. Shino greets her first with soft hello, wearing the classic clothes of her clan. She can control her Kikaichu insects but others as well due to hunter abilities.
"Another Sword" hinata sneers. She and the hyuga heiress didn't get along as hinata felt the blonde didn't deserve her status as the yondaime's daughter, like many in the village felt she didn't live up to her father's legendary status.
"I found it at Higurashi's.. He said it was drop from a Gate" fuyumi says. Kurenai appears with her rose-petal shunshin and her team greets her, "I know the incident with the Gate happened yesterday but we can't rest.. We can be called at a moments notice.. So we'll be taking a normal C-rank mission to Nami-no-kuni but you three should know.. We'll be facing bandits and possibly Missing-nin in the employ of man called Gato" kurenai explains.
"Do we know their rank" hinata asks.
"The client Tazuna believes that it may be simply Gato's thugs but we should be prepared for a Jonin level Missing-nin" kurenai says.
"Isn't Nami near Uzushio.. Why didn't Tazuna-san ask for their aid" shino asks.
"Hokage-sama asked a similar question and Tazuna told him that Gato controls the waterways and he was lucky to get to the mainland but he's also building a bridge to Fire country and that will break Gato's control.. So our mission is to protect Tazuna until his bridge is finished.. So be prepared for an extended mission" kurenai explains and the three nod.
#Amegakure no Sato - Land of Rain#
In the Land of Rain is the village of Amegakure, a village built on several levels with numerous pipes filtering the constant rain into a large lake around the village. In one of the taller towers of the village were three ninja known for fighting and earning the respect of Hanzo the Salamander, so much he named them the Densetsu no Sannin.
"I just got a message from Kushina-obasan.. Naruto has finished the Gate in Konoha and is heading to Suna" speaks Nagato Uzumaki. He has blood red hair the covers and frames his face, currently covering his violet right eye. Unlike naruto's previous world he doesn't possess the Rinnegan but has an ability called Living Poltergeist, which allows him to split his consciousness between six faux bodies. Each body was designed by naruto and wear samurai armor, all with a unique weapons and names. Their names were Wildfire, Hardrock, Halo, Strata, Torrent and Inferno. He also has his clan ability to create chakra weapons and his specialty were swords, also being a sensor as well.
"All this to see the son of their fallen Kage" says Konan Shirayuki. She is one of naruto's mistresses and is virtually the same as the previous world. Her blue hair is longer this time around and done into a bun with hair needles, similar to naruto's distant relative Mito.
"He probably only did it to increase his army with the Boss" the last of the sannin Yahiko Senju states. Yahiko looks identical to his previous world self as Deva-Pein but none of the piercings and has blue eyes. He wears a shinobi shozoku like nagato and konan with having the kunoichi variant, with long black tail-coats having two tails, buttons down the middle to the waist and red clouds on the sleeves and back.
"Naruto wants to be able to impart a shadow soldier for everyone in Uzu to keep them safe in case of an invasion.. Plus he's prepping for the Heaven Tower" nagato says and yahiko scratches the back his head.
"So is he taking the whole Espada or just his Harem" yahiko says, a joking smile on his face. Konan glances back with a dark look in her amber eyes that promised pain later, "He hasn't fully decided yet.. Kaguya.. Thorkell and Anko have agreed to go.. However Tsunade is still on the fence as am I" she says.
"Entering the Heaven Tower means spending a significant amount time inside.. Especially if you want to climb to the higher floors.. Plus I know he doesn't want to leave Uzushio completely undefended" nagato comments. The door opens and hanzo enters with several of his men, causing the three to slip into serious mode.
"So what does the Summer Queen want" hanzo says. He is a rather muscular man of above-average height, with long blond hair reaching down to his back and a prominent scar on his right cheek. He wears a dark hat on his head and the lower half of his face mostly obscured by a helmet-like respirator, a loose wetsuit-like outfit accented by bandages wrapped around his wrists and lower legs, a flak jacket with swirls on the chest-plate and a dark cloak that reached down below his waist.
"Kushina-sama wishes to enter into an alliance with Ame.. She knows you have issues closing gates and often rely on you to be the deciding factor" yahiko says. Hanzo narrows his eyes but chuckles, "That woman's reach is long.. So what is her offer" he says.
"She would want us to establish a Guild here.. We would supply some members and allow your people to be trained up" yahiko explains.
"She would also like to put the seemingly endless supply of water to use" nagato adds.
"And how would she do that" hanzo asks.
"As we speak her son and our Guild Master Naruto Uzumaki is heading to Suna to establish an alliance.. One of the things he will offer is Water.. He and his mother have created a seal to transfer water over long distances.. Your country would be paid for this service naturally" konan replies.
"There is also the added benefit that Earth.. Fire and even Wind will be weary to incite battles here as Sunagakure would become your ally as well.. Also having the Shadow Monarch at your call to aid you in times of need will deter them as well" nagato adds. Hanzo stares at the three ninja he dubbed the sannin but laughs, "Hahaha.. Having the Daimyo of Uzushio and son of both the Summer Queen and Kiiroi Senko as an ally is something no sane person would pass up.. So I accept your terms and what would be the guild established here called" he says.
"Akatsuki" yahiko says and hanzo chuckles once again, nodding with a mutter of interesting name.
#Sunagakure no Sato- Land of Wind#
In the land of wind if one were to look up they would see a large wyvern flying through the sky towards the village of sungakure. On the back of the mighty beast is naruto with his arms folded and anko sitting cross-legged in front him.
"What can we expect from the Kazekage" anko shouts. The wind was buffeting their hair as naruto looks down, "He's a shrewd man but loves his village.. According to our spies.. He's been selling his chakra converted Gold Dust to keep the village thriving.. The Lord of Wind if you can call him that is a Hedonistic fool and is squeezing the village dry.. They clear Gates pretty frequently but the lordship's people takes the majority.. Same with shinobi missions which he often outsources to Fire Country" he shouts.
"So when Mama offers them a chance to align with a powerful nation.. A chance to clear high level gates and a near limitless supply of life-giving water.. The Kazekage should side with us" anko shouts and naruto nods. He orders the wyvern down several miles from suna itself to keep from scaring the locals.
"Why didn't we scare them with Kasmir" anko says, with a mischievous smile. Naruto dispels kasmir with a stare, "You've grown more mischievous in this world" he says. Anko closes the gap and wraps her arms around his back with a bite of her lips, "It's because I'm married to baddest man on the planet" she says. Naruto chuckles and leans down to capture her lips, "When we get some down time.. I'm gonna give you a limp" he says. Anko giggles perversely as they pair take off at jonin speed to suna, "Maybe we should wait until we pick up Konan.. I kinda in the mood for an Orgy" she shouts. Naruto shakes his head with a soft smile, "Alright.. This shouldn't take long anyway" he shouts. The Ray of Sky soon comes into view as the entrance to suna itself, causing both to slow up as several guards were appearing at the entrance.
"Halt" one shouts, wearing a tan cloak and having a non-descript build. Naruto reaches into his cargo pocket and pulls out a scroll, "I am Naruto Uzumaki and this is my wife Anko.. We're here to see the Kazekage at the behest of Yondaime Uzukage Kushina Uzumaki" he says. The other guards flinch at naruto and kushina's names as the first guard takes the scroll, "We'll have to check you for weapons and you'll have to hand them over" he says. Naruto removes his remaining bracelets, weapons pouch and cane as anko does same with wis and her pouch. Then they are patted down and soon lead though canyon walls into sunagakure. The village itself is a fortified valley with the buildings made of clay or stucco with blowing sand around.
"Anything we should know" naruto asks. The guard glances naruto's way with a shake of his head, "Just keep yourself respectable" the guard says.
"Of course.. I'm a Daimyo.. I know all the etiquette" naruto says. They soon reach the kage tower which is a large rotund building, before following the Anbu up to the kazekage's office. Inside were the kazekage Rasa no Sabaku and three others naruto recognizes as the sand siblings. However Gaara is a young woman with Temari and Kankuro remaining the same.
"So... The infamous son of the Summer Queen" rasa says. He is stern looking man with auburn hair, dark eyes and wearing a simple black jacket and pants with mesh armour underneath, along with a white robe and his kage hat on the desk.
"I am and this is my wife Anko" naruto says.
"Wife?!" kankuro says, nearly shouting. He wears all black with maroon mixed into hood in the form of stripes and purple face paint.
"That's right.. I'm all his and he has three other lovers as well" anko says and kankuro balks. Rasa says nothing but clears his throat, "My youngest son Kankuro.. These are my daughters Temari my oldest and Gaara my youngest" rasa states, both bowing.
"I'll skip the placating words.. Uzushio offers Sunagakure a chance to get out from under the Wind Daimyo" naruto says.
"And how would you do That!" temari states. She wears a purple long-sleeve blouse with a high collar underneath a grey top, and a dark blue skirt with a split in the middle revealing her purple leggings, fingerless gloves and sandals. Anko giggles with a smirk and folds her arms, "Fuinjutsu.. Naru-kun and his Mother have created a seal.. A seal that will transfer water to Suna" she states.
"Also if your village works with us.. You'll get access to high-end gear and chances at high rank gates" naruto adds.
"Why such generosity" gaara asks. She wears a crimson long-sleeve blouse with a folded collar and a black top, black shorts with a front-open crimson apron skirt, mesh stockings and sandals with a large gourd on her back. Naruto pockets his hands with a serious look, "I'm a Daimyo and I'm ashamed how the Wind and Fire Lords are acting" he says. Rasa knew what naruto meant as their own daimyo outsourced missions and dungeon clears to fire country.
"You're a rarity.. Most Daimyo only concern themselves with who makes them the most money" rasa states. Naruto folds his hands behind his back, "Indeed Lightning and Earth hound me the rights to their Gates" he says. Rasa leans back his chair with a calculating look on his face, "I'm willing to consider your offer... If you personally and Only you assist my children in clearing a gate" he says. Naruto tilts his head but an amused look on his face, "You're a shrewd man... I'll do it and I'll even sweeten the pot by giving you proceeds" he says, shocking the sand siblings.
"Just like that?!" temari shouts and anko giggles, patting her man on the back.
"Naru-kun may be unranked but that's only because they can't rank him" anko says and naruto smirks, his eyes now a glowing purple and the sabaku family feel an icy chill up their spines.
"He's strong" the siblings thought.
#-#
The sand siblings and naruto step through the gate into an arid realm of sand. A ghost of smile forms on gaara, "You'll be at home here Shukaku-sama" she thought. In a mindscape of endless sand is a large tanuki, "It would seem so... However be careful of your companion.. I believe he could fight my brother Kurama and Win" shukaku says and gaara's breath hitches. Naruto secures his sword in her harness as he follows the siblings, "It seems some things have changed.. Gaara is not as maniacal as our previous world and a girl" zetsuei comments. He glances to red head but shakes his head, slipping a menthol cool into his mouth.
"Gaara's kinda cute but it'll be hard to separate the two" naruto thought and zetsuei giggles. The four continue through the desert but find no signs of life, however life was stalking them. Naruto halts in his tracks with black pigmentation around his eyes, "Everyone Freeze" he shouts. The siblings halt and turn as a large brown worm with a black beak, emerges from the sands behind naruto but its life was snuffed out by his Quicksword. Kankuro makes a face as orange blood and guts land on the ground, "So gross!" he thought.
"Do you know hand-signs" naruto signs.
"We do but what was That?!.. And how did you know" temari signs. Naruto points to the black on his eyes, "I'm a Sage and those must be the creatures of this gate" he signs.
"Definitely don't anger him.. Sages are one with nature and can gather Natural Chakra.. Which makes them even more powerful" shukaku says.
"Are we clear" gaara signs.
"Still four more.. I'll distract them.. Can you three get above me.. They're attracted to sound" naruto signs.
"I can use my fan.. While Gaara can use her sand to carry Kankuro" temari signs. Gaara creates a platform of sand for them as temari uses her large fan, while naruto remains unmoving.
"What will he do" gaara thought but she quickly got her answer. Naruto slowly draws zetsuei from her harness and raises her skyward, "Awaken" he utters. All three sand siblings feel a weight on their shoulders and gasp as the sword changes. Zetsuei was now a Scottish Claymore with black blade having a reddish tint and a silver dragon imprinted around the pommel.
"It must a drop from a dungeon" kankuro says.
"Maybe.. So who knows what it can do" temari says but like her sister got an answer. Naruto drives the blade sand with a twist, "Earth Dragon Dance!" he shouts. The worms burst from sand on top of rocky spikes with orange gore spewing from their wounds and three tentacle like mouths from their maw. The three drop down as naruto removes his sword from the sand.
"Are there any more" kankuro signs. Naruto stares at kankuro for a few seconds to unnerve him but he eye-smiles, "We're fine.. Those seem to be scouts" naruto says.
"Strange creatures" gaara notes. Naruto squats down to place his right hand on the worm as his eyes turn purple, "Arise!" he utters. Temari and gaara gasp as a dark counterpart of the worm emerges from its corpse, "What sort of power is that?!" temari thought. Kankuro was shaking in fear as naruto repeats the process with the other worms.
"W-w-what was T-that?!" kankuro says. Naruto sends his new scouts out, "You've heard of the Monarchs" he asks.
"They are humanoid monsters with inhuman power.. They surpass even the SS-class" temari explains.
"You would be right.. I was given the power of a Monarch by the original Shadow Monarch.. This power allows me to resurrect monsters and people as my shadow soldiers" naruto explains, shocking the sand siblings.
"So if you killed an S-rank hunter.. You could make them your soldier" kankuro says, slight fear in his tone.
"I can but they would be only a shadow.. I would only gain their powers" naruto says.
"Since you're the Shadow Monarch.. That means you've encountered other Monarchs then" temari asks and naruto nods, shocking the three.
"Three Monarchs attempted to kill me.. I killed one.. Another escaped and the last..." naruto states.
"And the last one" gaara asks but naruto raises his hand with right eye closed.
"I've found their nest and those scouts were the tip of the iceberg" naruto says.
"What about the Boss" temari says.
"Not sure yet.. One thing is for sure.. We can't rush in as we'd awaken the whole nest but I have way around that" naruto says, grabs a scroll from his cargo pocket. He unfurls the scroll and channels chakra into it, releasing ink with a brush.
"Hand me your sandals.. I'll place the same silencing seal I have on my boots" naruto explains.
"Are you sure we should do this.. You know in the Open" kankuro says but naruto quells his fears by bringing forth some of his soldiers. Beast and ironside were among them including Igris, one of his more powerful soldiers. The sand siblings slip off their sandals and place them on the scroll. Naruto starts to work on their sandals but his gaze drifts to igris and a memory wells up.
#Flashback - Song: Here We Go - Chris Classic#
Naruto pants heavily with zetsuei released, "I can't believe Mom threw me into this dungeon but it will give me some good soldiers" he thought. He was surrounded by armored soldiers with various weapons. However one stood out with blood red armor covering him from head to toe, a tattered red cape, and a long red hair-like ornament extending out of the back of his helmet.
"Careful.. This one is different" zetsuei says. Naruto smirks and shoots forward as the red knight swings his great sword, both clanging with a loud noise and blowing back the other soldiers. Naruto pushes forward as the knight does the same in a crude test of strength, slowly the ground starts to crack under their boots. Naruto roars and breaks the stalemate with a wind dragon dance, causing gashes to form on the knight's armor as he skids back. Naruto shoots forward again as flurry of swings erupts from both as the ground cracks from each parry.
"This is Fun!" naruto howls, skidding back with several bruises.
"You may say fun but your body is reaching its limit.. You're still not use to me and you're still growing" zetsuei says. Naruto spins and brings his sword down on the knight's, creating a double crater but the knight heaves naruto away. The knight lets go of his large sword and blitzes naruto from all sides, slamming him into the ground with a thud. Naruto spits up some blood as he rolls onto his side with blurry as the knight calls for his blade, bringing it down but naruto vanishes.
"You'll have to forgive me.. I can't let this go on too much longer.. My young body can't handle it" naruto says, his voice distorted. Naruto grips his claymore tightly in both hands with a face-less bone like mask over his face, two small holes at the bottom expelling steam with each breath and glowing golden eyes, the white of his eyes black as night. Naruto shoots forward with a shatter of the ground as the knight senses the change in the air.
"Mikazuki no Mai" naruto says, creating several afterimages. The knight swings but hits thin air as two gashes open on his body, spilling white hot ichor. The knight skids but naruto appears above with his sword raised and brings it down, shattering the ground and the knight crashes into a wall. Naruto's masks shatters and staggers back to fall on a throne, before driving zetsuei into the ground with several gulping breaths.
"Bloodstained Igris.. I will repay your ferocity with my loyalty" naruto thought, preparing to bring the knight back.

Naruto finishes their sandals and the three slip them back on, "Now we can move a little safer" he says. The group takes off at chunin speed towards the nest, encountering a few worms but several smaller bipedal versions of the worms that were attracted to heat. Temari cuts them down with her battle fan, while kankuro uses his puppets and gaara uses her sand.
"I found the boss.. It's to the east of the nest and it is massive" naruto explains.
"How massive" kankuro says.
"Biju size" naruto says and kankuro's eyes widen in horror.
"I'm sure you can handle it.. Kankuro and I will go for the nest with your soldiers.. While you two head for the boss" temari states. Naruto chuckles and scratches the black portion of his two tone hair, "That works.. Igris take Ironside and Beast to assist Temari and Kankuro" he says.
"Yes my liege" igris says, shocking them. Naruto dispels the remaining soldiers and creates his clydesdale, before climbing on and extending hand to pull gaara up.
"Keep her safe" temari shouts, as the pair gallop off.
"Hold on tight" naruto says. Gaara softly blushes and wraps her arms around naruto's waist as the horse neighs and pants heavily.
"What happened to the last Monarch.. You killed one and one fled.. What happened to the last one" gaara asks. Naruto chuckles softly with an amused look on his face, "After seeing her compatriots in such a sorry state and learning I was the new Shadow Monarch.. She decided to merge with one of my lovers and make her into a Monarch... You might know her as Tsunade Senju" he explains. Gaara's teal eyes widen and flicker, "Tsunade Senju.. The most powerful and beautiful Healer" she says and naruto laughs.
"Add to that she is the Monarch of Plagues" naruto says. The sand becomes more coarse as old structures of a forgotten civilization appear. Naruto slows his horse as several demonic creatures were in their path.
"Leave them to me" gaara says, hopping off the back of the horse.
"Are you sure" naruto asks. Gaara's teal eyes turn gold and take the shape of a four shuriken with the whites of her eyes turning black.
"Fufufufu.. I'll fine.. Shukaku-sama and I are one" gaara says, as her gourd breaks down and forms a long tail. Naruto smirks with a nod and gallops off, drawing zetsuei and cutting down a few demons.

Naruto picks up speed on his clydesdale towards where the scouts noted the boss. It was grotesque version of the normal worms but has signs of abuse as it was hanging from several towers. Naruto brings out a pair of large sabertooth tigers, standing ten feet at shoulders and both roar to bring out fear in most or provoke in the boss. It roars loudly and starts to shake on its shackles, knocking down several levels as it breaks free. The boss slams into the ground and starts to burrow towards naruto. He picks up speed until the ground wavers as the boss reaches his clydesdale. The massive worm surges out the ground and catches his summons but naruto vanishes, appearing with a skid of smoke along the sky.
"Come on Big Boy!" naruto shouts and swings zetsuei down, "Wind Dragon Dance!" he roars. The boss screeches in pain as several deep gashes open on its head. It opens its maw wide and spews several dozen detachable tentacles. Naruto dodges them several after images all of the reciting an incantation, "Hado #4: Byakurai" they roar, firing blasts of pale white lightning from their hands. The kido blast pierces several spots on the boss and spewing orange blood to the ground.
"I guess the only thing you got going for ya... Is your size" naruto says. The boss lunges at naruto but dodges and swings several times, using his Darkness Dragon Dance in the the form of several black slashes akin to the swipes of a dragon claw. The boss roars again but weaker as numerous wounds bleed heavily. Naruto raises zetsuei skyward as blue energy starts to wail, "Well this doesn't count as a workout... Dragonstrike" he utters, swinging down. A blue azure eye dragon erupts from blade with a wailing roar, tearing through the boss several times. The boss lists to one side and crashes with a loud thud as gaara arrives. [song ends]

A glow appears near the boss as naruto lands with the use of a shadow hawk to hide things, "Seems there was a drop.. I'm actually shocked" naruto says, reaching out and grabbing a dagger with a flute attached.
"Strange weapon" gaara says and barely catches the dagger.
"It's known as Queen's Bane.. It allows the user to summon those worms.. The bipedal ones known as Shriekers and another called Fire Spitters" naruto explains.
"Why give this to me.. You killed the boss" gaara says but naruto shakes his head.
"Maybe so but the proceeds go to you and Suna" naruto says. Temari and kankuro soon approach with the latter talking very animatedly and the older sister looking annoyed.
"The boss dead" temari asks and naruto nods, pointing his thumb to the mutilated corpse.
"Your soldiers were amazing.. I need to tell Sasori-sensei about them so we can try to make puppets of them" kankuro says.
"Well if you do.. I would like a finders fee" naruto says and kankuro nods. The group exit the gate and their crews rush inside to claim the materials as rasa was waiting for them with anko.
"It seems you come as advertised.. Your offer is generous and I accept but you'll have to deal with Lord Mios" rasa states. Anko snorts as naruto clears his throat, "I plan to... At the Chunin Exams" he says, extending his hand and rasa shakes his hand.
"So are we done.. We need to pick up Ko-chan and her two idiots" anko says and naruto sighs.
"Ignore her but she is correct.. I need to go to Amegakure" naruto says. Rasa arches eyebrow in query but his breath hitches and naruto smirks.
"Fresh water from Ame and Salt water from Uzu.. My mom will send several of our Seal Masters to places the seals.. If nothing else.. Excuse us" naruto explains, excusing himself and following anko.
"Temari could you involve yourself with such a man" rasa states, once naruto and anko were out of sight.
"I'll admit he is handsome and powerful.. For the survival of Suna I would but you may not need me" temari says, pointing her thumb to her younger sister. Rasa glances to gaara and sees the soft look in her eyes, compared to the normally cold demeanor to those outside their family. The yondaime chuckles internally and would bring it up the council about allowing one of his daughters possibly becoming one of naruto's mistresses.

A/N-2: Well that's it for chapter one. Things you need to know going forward is I made Yahiko a Senju and great grandson of Tobirama with a high Suiton affinity, his weapon of choice a Naginata. Fuyumi will have abilities similar to Cha Hae-In from Solo Leveling and be a skilled Futon user.

In private much of the village see her as a disgrace as she's not Exactly like her famous father.
The pairing with Mei and Samui will happen eventually happen or if there is a big call for it. I could go with Temari or Gaara or even Kurenai, so give it time. Thorkell is from Vinland Saga and will have abilities similar to Thomas Andre from Solo Leveling. Thank you for your support and as always Stay Frosty.
