The capital of the Land of Water, Mizu-Town, was a city that was quite similar to its shinobi village. Surrounded by thick mist and fog, it seemed almost as if the very air itself was alive with an ethereal quality. The humidity in the air was stifling on hotter days, causing beads of sweat to form on one's skin within minutes of being outside. This constant dampness had led to the unique architectural style of Mizu-Town; buildings were constructed with wide eaves and overhanging balconies, designed to provide shelter from the relentless downpours that often blanketed the city around spring and fall.

The streets were narrow and winding, lined with tall wooden structures that towered overhead, their darkened wood nearly blackened by the constant dampness. The scent of rain-soaked earth permeated everything, mixing with the smell of incense burning in shops and homes alike. Even the sound of footsteps on the cobblestone streets echoed softly against the surrounding mist, creating an eerie sense of isolation.

Despite its ominous exterior, Mizu-Town was a bustling center of activity. The citizens who called it home moved through the streets with purpose. They were a diverse group, ranging from young apprentice fishermen learning how to bind their first knot, to seasoned merchants that had especially crafted wagons and bags to keep their wares safe.

At the heart of Mizu-Town lay the big palace-like mansion where the daimyo resided. The structure was massive, towering over everything else in sight. Its walls were adorned with intricate carvings and painted with vibrant hues that seemed to glow in the dim light. Atop the building sat a large, ornate roof garden, filled with lush greenery and blooming flowers that provided a stark contrast to the drab surroundings.

Inside, the mansion was just as superb as its exterior suggested. Marble floors gleamed in the soft light, while rich tapestries and elaborate woodwork adorned every wall. The air was heavy with the scent of sandalwood incense, which mixed with the aroma of freshly cooked food coming from the kitchens below.

The daimyo's chambers were located on the highest floor of the mansion, accessible only through a series of heavily guarded corridors. The doors to his inner sanctum were ornate, carved with intricate designs that depicted scenes from ancient legends. Within lay a spacious room dominated by a massive four-poster bed draped in silk sheets and pillows.

Despite its opulence Western style, there was an underlying sense of tradition in the air. The paintings and accessories in the rooms were much more fitting for an Eastern-like mansion. But, bed and doors had a solid Western influence. After all, this was the home of one of the most powerful men in the entire country. A family that had made most of their money through trade with different influences that only a few of the nations had seen. But for those who were lucky enough to be invited inside, the daimyo's hospitality was legendary. He hosted lavish feasts and threw extravagant parties, always surrounded by an entourage of loyal subordinates and beautiful courtesans.

The whispers surrounding those courtesans were the main problem and the reason for the person sitting in his little hideout observing the mansion. Some of them had features that once were identifications for some of the more famous ninja clans of Kirigakure. With the purge the former Mizukage had done nobody gave that idea a second thought as the Mizukage and the Daimyo had been in agreement most of the time. After the next Mizukage had taken over the Daimyo just needed to adjust. Right after the idea to overthrow the ninjas as a dominant military force the Daimyo had not only supported it out of its free will but also restarted his parties. Rumors became constant whispers. Whispers within the service personnel. Whispers about extravagant parties with lots of courtesans. Even if they were nicely dressed and smiling, the servants often saw collars with various signs on their necks. What the rich and wealthy of the court and the circle around it had forgotten is that the servants were often those who were open and receptive to providing information. It was easy for a certain network to obtain this information. Then, three days ago, a raven with a coded message reached a wandering tall man. With his straw hat pulled down over his face, only the tips of his teeth were visible when he saw the animal. His grin only widened as he read the message. This man knew him so well, it was a real shame when they parted ways, but this information gave him reason enough to return to his homeland.

Contrary to his image, this ninja was not a battle-hungry monster. He defected from his village when his services were no longer valued and, even worse when his clan began to be wiped out piece by piece. Now he had a reason to go back to his roots. After using a drop of his blood to unseal the message he read on.

K,

our mutual friends' sources found some unsettling intel regarding your old friends. Looks like the big one has gone back to hosting his big parties. Some of the ladies to entertain his guests noticed that he had some ladies with attributes that could be related to former clans of Kiri. It was also noted that they had some more restrictions placed on them. Mostly staying in the big ones' private rooms. Only entertain him and his best buddies. Wear likely sealing collars.

Also, our informant could listen to a conversation. Big One talked to the one we identified as the new number one target. While we identified Fire and Thunder as manipulated, Big One however looks to be aligned with the undesirable.

We are on the lookout for Mr. Undesirable. We would not mind with the Big one being helped to pass over to the next big adventure. With all his helpers and friends who abused others of course. Your partner may want to shave off some rust and taste some blood of people with no value.

Best of Luck,

Raven

PS: A certain hotblooded woman took over and may need your help.

He noticed the little formula at the end of the message and unsealed the scroll in it only to seal it away on his skin. He used one of the rare fire jutsu he knew to erase the message. The sword on his back began to communicate with him as he looked back toward the mansion. "Don't worry we will cut them down. I can't stand rapists and human traffickers. Give me some ninja to devour any time" He shook his head before he showed his shark-like tooth. He has some fancy big guys to kill.

Meanwhile, Naruto sat in his office looking over his notes in his head he was holding a conversation with the Biju. "You are all sure about that. The ritual to take enough chakra but not too much to self-sustain and slowly transition from this plane to the next and not erase you is no easy task at all. Also, it would be different for one of you as you all have other amounts of chakra."

The voice of Chomei answered this time. "You are right about all of that. But, not only are your seal top notch and have fail-safes for the failsafe. You also have the animal path to help you out. Also, we are gifting the chakra out of free will without working against you and helping to regulate it."

Naruto sighed. Chomei was right and he knew it he even had summoned Mito and his mother with the mentor scrolls to check his calculations. Both women were impressed with what he achieved and it was getting much harder for Naruto to not use his powers to revive them. With the Mentor scroll, it was just that easy, to be honest. He had special bunshin, as a foundation and would only need around a fourth of his chakra to give them a normal body. His new eyes were that powerful. Yet, they were dead and as such in the domain of the shinigami. The deity his clan obeyed and worked for. He wouldn't want this deity after him. Not, after it had given him so much and made this power possible in the first place.

So, he had abstained from using this skill and focussed on his task. Itachi and Shisui had started to look for Danzo. His clones had started to notify his allies and the Kage about the intended summit.

One thing was crystal clear though. Naruto wanted the Biju safe before the summit. So he answered. "Okay, Let us say I got everything right. Let us go over it one last time okay?" As he got no negative response except an exasperated sigh from Kurama he continued. "We will start with all Biju that are not sealed, as those won't need me to regulate anything as they will migrate fully. Matatabi, Isobu, and Son will also provide around half of their chakra each so I can use it to create enough nature in this new dimension so it can provide chakra on its own."

Son answered "That is quite right. We four will create all nine intended regions. Starting with the overall surroundings before adding wildlife and plants to it. The three of us will enter into a meditative state or for the lack of better words hibernation, as we use Naruto's time seal for the wildlife and greenery to grow and develop. So it can provide us and our starting clans with sustenance. Those clans are based on the families of our brethren we chose to bless and develop." A short pause was made and Kurama took over.

"Yes, with the seal I created, that works only with our chakra, we can enhance normal animals and not only bestow chakra onto them but also impart knowledge. They will need time to adjust but in the end, will take on traits that we as the ones giving them the seal have. Like, if I gave a fox that seal, he would most likely get a second tail. And if he or she trains enough or collects enough chakra here or back in the new dimension most likely will get more and more tails as they get stronger."

All made some agreeing voices and sounds and Naruto had leaned back into his chair with his eyes closed to not let himself get distracted. "Right, not only would you be able to create some kind of family that way, as you are still Biju you will be their sages and clan leaders. While, with the contract, we set up together, it would mean you could still be summoned you could not be sealed away again. Your chakra will be anchored to this dimension. As such you could always reverse summon yourselves out."

That had a much more enthusiastic response from all Biju. In the end, it meant something big. Not only would they finally be free, but with the way they set up the contracts, they could also fulfill their obligation and promise to their "father" by helping to guard the ninshu in the nations without endangering themselves of getting held against their will. Which in turn would make them much more peaceful.

Son answered again. He had established himself as a somewhat spokesperson of the free Biju. Matatabi just wanted a break and Isobu was Isobu most of the time. Which meant sleeping and only coming out of his shell if he wanted to. "As long as the time seal works as intended with everyone joining step-by-step We could have the contracts ready for the summit."

Naruto nodded, what the Biju might not see but feel as he answered with a bit more positivity now. "I won't rush this. If only you three can provide contracts it would be fine. The ritual takes much out of me. Don't even get me started on the defenses I planned for the dimension. Gaara had agreed to be the second after me to test out the process. I should have a good feeling afterward how long I need to recover then. If everyone agrees we start tomorrow right at dawn."

At the dawn of the next day, one man stood inside the mansion of the water daimyo. Around him lay people who looked unhealthy in one place or the other. Most of them looked like the upper layers of their skin had been shaved off while others looked bitten. Kisame Hoshigaki stood at the entrance to the dungeons. The S-Rank shinobi had no trouble infiltrating the place and killing most of the guards without even breaking a sweat. He would have some trouble with the outer layer as there were many of these samurai people but he had one last ace for that. Opening the door with the keys of the guard he looked into the cells with many scared faces of younger or older women. As he saw the last door his sword flinched a bit before it growled hungrily at the seals covering it.

"You sure?" Kisame asked before his sword got a life of its own and sucked on the doorknob. At first, it looked like nothing would happen but then the symbols began to glow and be sucked into the direction of the doorknob. Samehada took around five minutes to suck the chakra out of the sealing before it disconnected and gave something that could be interpreted as a burp.

Kisame chuckled as he stepped towards the blade, picking it up and placing it back on his back again. "You got fat Samehada," he said only to hear some growling from his back that had him chuckling again. Opening the door with the useless seals on it now was quite the easy feat and he investigated and found something that made his blood boil. Drugged, chained, and in scandalous outfits the cells had different women were one cell showed someone he thought he had lost forever in the purge.

She was lay there with a gag that held her mouth open and showed her shark-like teeth. Around her neck, she wore a collar with a sealing formula on it as did the others as Kisame took in the surroundings. No further guards or security features except the collars.

He walked towards the one person and kneeled at her side. A short look at the collar and he sighed before he unsealed and used the scroll and pushed some charka into it. A Naruto clone appeared and waved at Kisame. He only pointed at the collar and the clone frowned. Taking out some supplies he began to first copy the seals of the collar. Looking quite disgusted with the minutes passing. The clone began to furiously scribble down his symbols before he had one talisman finished. He looked at Kisame and said.

"We might have a problem. Those seals anchor them to the will of a bloodline and hold them sterile. I am afraid they got abused quite much Kisame."

Kisame looked at the Naruto clone and clenched his teeth. "So, you want to tell me that this big ass not only enslaved them he made them targets to get fucked without them having to worry about impregnating them." Narutos clone gave s small nod. Kisame was leaking killing intent unintentionally now. "Great. I will bathe in their blood tonight. But you can cleanse them of their seals, so we can evacuate them?"

The clone gave a slow nod. Which only let Kisame close the distance to him and get in his face. "WHAT?"

"I can't disable the seal right now. We would need the cleansing flame ritual to get rid of it completely but the boss just started a ritual that needs sage mode so I can't enter it without risking to fuck this ritual up." As Kisame wanted to scream at him he continued. "I need to temporarily bind them to the Uzumaki clan. As soon as the ritual is finished and he is back up to his feet, the boss will disable those abominations. That all looks quite like the work Orochimaru did. To be honest he was a bastard but slave seals? He got those things down quite good."

Kisame nodded and turned towards the exit. "I will leave you to it then. Have to get some people removed from this world. slice them up, ripping heads you know." It was like his voice had an underlying tone of violence and growl as Samehada joined with a growl of its own.

The clone just nodded and prepared the counter seals as Kisame got back into the main section of the mansion. As the first noble saw his face they screamed but not for long as he shoved their skin off, while Samehada had a feast. The army of samurai, who had come to help got cut off of the mansion as a big water wall Jutsu was held by one Mizu Bunshin of Kisame. Long enough before the Naruto clone got a signal to Kisame after it had freed everyone he put the last remains of his chakra into the ground, letting roots break the surface. The roots looked like they were drawn to over 80% of those samurai. If a root got one, the samurai got absorbed. After some time a wood clone got out of the tree. this system repeated so long as they were all absorbed and only the usual forces had stayed alive but fallen unconscious to the sleeping agent the polen had given out as the bulbs on the roots bloomed.

Kisame himself had eradicated each and every noble he had found. Some of them in the act so to speak, he had not cared. Samehada had tasted blood, his sharks had tasted blood. Kisame himself had tasted blood. Nothing compared to the pure hatred he felt. Killing other shinobi was fine for him. There was no need to fool himself, if the young women had not been the ones he had suspected and now had confirmation that they were, he would only have accepted the mission for a fee. Now though, it was a matter of honour. Of belonging to a bigger picture. Right before him lay the shuddering and soiled daimyo of the water country.

Kisame had not been gentle as he had drawn him here. Many bruises made him nearly unrecognizable. Blood was running down on some of his limbs.

Kisame had calmed down after all the fighting but was bloodied everywhere visible and made a fearsome sight. "You know I would have been lenient and just killed you if this had been a contract work. You stupid piece of human shit made it personal though." He kicked him resulting in a small grunt-like noise. "You never had thought about that those girls could have clans left? Family members? Yeah, you kinda expected all of them to die in the purge of the Yondaime right? Say something" He kicked him again, and this time he angled his kick so that the Daimyo was thrown some feet over the ground only to stop on his back looking up at the Monster of Kiri in pure fear. "Bad luck that some of the clans of Kiri survived isn't it? Not only that, but also the stronger ones of those clans. Lastly, I have some friends with friends who have a great network of information sources."

The daimyo whimpered and looked like he wanted to say something before he was interrupted by a foot on his throat so he made some gurgling noises. but could not get anything out that would be recognizable as words. "You stupid shit really thought you could use my sister? Breed her maybe like that animal you are? I will rip you to shreds for all you have done to her."

The dark spot on the daimyo's soiled pants just got bigger as his throat got crushed. Kisame would take his sweet time killing this piece of shit. While he could not take too much time as he would need to get all the women back to Kiri with the carriage the Naruto clone had organized he could enjoy some revenge first.

Meanwhile, in the Biju cave, a red Tori Gate was standing tall and proud. Naruto had built that with the help of his wood release, paint, and carpentry. After that, he started with the seals. Enhancing its resiliency and preparing it as its anchor. The three Biju had come to the cave and sat in their ritual circles. Han had prepared some tea for everyone and Naruto was thankful to taste some of the calming brew as he had started gathering the needed chakra. He also used some prepared storage scrolls and placed them on their spots before he took his last sip. "Okay, everyone. This is it."

The whole room was covered in some sealing formulas to prepare and direct the forces Naruto was about to summon. His eyes transitioned fast through the different Sharingan stages before they entered the Rinnegan stage. In his hand, he held a traditional Shakujo-made shing in sparkling onyx that seemed to absorb all light. Naruto entered sage mode, his markings flamed up and the wings of fire stretched from his back. He looked at the three Biju as they nodded back, Matatabi even smiling thumped the staff into the ground. It started slow. The symbol of the many seals on the ground traveled toward the Tori Gate. It was like they burned themselves right into the wood. Next, Naruto thumped the staff into the ground and a gong-like noise echoed through the cave.

It was like the fabric of reality itself was ripped apart as a gap in the middle of the archway began to widen. The surroundings shook and the gap got bigger and bigger till it filled the whole arch of the gate. Naruto had used the staff to direct the chakra flow and as it had finished he blinked once. Without his version of the Rinnegan, he could never have controlled the flow of the chakra this perfectly. The gap looked like it would lead them right into a big nothingness. The Ritual had started perfectly. He used the seals to rip apart space and time and the Rinnegan to direct his chakra and intent to find an empty space. With measured steps he walked towards the gate, passing the three Biju. "Time to make your new home."

He said before he stepped right in front of the gate. The circles around the Biju had also disappeared. It first looked like they had not an effect but a short second right after that you could see a fine barrier that separated the four of them from the others in the cave. Only those four would be able to pass the gate. Han, Mikoto, and Karin observed but would not be able to join them. The seal would not let them as the dimension was still unstable.

The Biju started to go into the gate and it looked like they could just walk through. Their forms stood out from the big mass of nothing before Naruto looked back one last time and waved. Karin and Mikoto waved back before Naruto joined the Biju and the gap closed with a second gong.

Karin looked at the two others. "What are we going to do now?" She asked softly. She had not so much time as she had hoped to enjoy with Naruto. Now he was gone again for kami knows how long. It was really not easy to be in love with somebody who had so many things to do. She admired his drive to better the things that were seriously wrong in their world. Like how the Biju were treated. But either way, she would have liked to have more time. Well, she just hoped the time of gatherings and time together would come sometime around.

Mikoto smiled at the younger woman. "Well, I have the experience that he is most likely often around as soon as he is needed but even with all the time jutsu and seals he had prepared some time will pass. No need to worry though the biggest problems would have been happening before the creation. So much I could have understood of the theory he had explained to us."

Han smiled and hummed a joyous tune as he just held the teapot high. "Some tea for anyone? No use in breaking our heads over the timeframe at the moment. He will get back as soon as he can. The rest should be easy and I can communicate with him over the Biju shared Mindscape. He sends an all-clear already. So no need to worry too much young Uzumaki"

Karin relaxed a bit and took the offered cup from Han as did Mikto and the three sat down talking about some pleasant things. Like herbs and tea.

Back in the Capital Kisame had begun with the cleanup. The former Daimy lay dead in his bed. He suffocated on his own testicles after Kisame had cut them off with a hot Kunai to finish him off. He had got everything out of him. His confession who was part of the parties made a nice list of future targets. The clones had helped him to stun the poor sods and get them on the nose and big carriage. They had also managed to find horses and connect them to the vehicle. Now they started their track. It was three days later that they had arrived in Kiri. To say that the young woman had needed time to adjust to the possibility of being free. Kisames sister had managed to convince them and as some of them had seen the village they first wanted to flee again. It needed some talks and also the arrival of Mei Terumi with her Anbu to convince them of the safety they had been promised.

Mei had another talk with Kisame. First, she had thanked him for bringing them back. As she wanted to offer him to get back into the village, knowing that the problem with the Daimyo were cleared up, she needed everyone back. Kisame shook his head. He looked at his sister before he looked back at Mei. "Maybe I will. But not today. I have people to hunt down. I entrust her safety to you. If you fail her Mei" He showed his teeth. "I will end you." She just nodded as Kisame gave his sister another Kiss on her forehead before he vanished in a Mizu Shunshin.

Right after this event the Mizukage had increased the patrols. Had her best Anbu stationed around the houses the woman had been given to recuperate. As Mei noticed the swirl on the collars she had two reasons to protect them. For the moment the woman belonged to the Uzumaki clan and she would not want to have two S-Rank Ninja after her. If you could even classify the strength of the Uzumaki clan leader.

Said Uzumaki had worked for an amount of time. An amount he had no idea to count it. Thanks to the creation of all things technique he had started with the surroundings. He had created plains of grass. Forests of various kinds, a source of light that resembled the sun of the nations. Shortly afterward, and with the help of the others, he began to bring more life into this world with chakra. Naruto was pretty sure that he would never have been able to do this without the help of four Biju. The world he created would soon have everything it needed. He laid the foundation for the beings to evolve from chakra and eventually be able to release chakra into nature. With the help of the animal path, he also conjured up a number of creatures that would find a new home here. The world he created was like a large disk. Nine habitats, one for each of the Biju, slowly emerged. A desert region with lots of sand for Shukaku. Matatabi had forests with natural hot springs. Isobus consisted of several islands with underground caves. Son Gokuu had a tropical rainforest with various volcanoes as his new home. However, most of the others were still quite bare, as these would only emerge once Naruto had performed the rituals. Even if he had already given the areas the appropriate foundations. Naruto didn't notice that his hair was slowly turning more and more red. A sign of the effort, the work. Some of them even turned white. The Biju noted this though. They also noted how much dedication Naruto worked on the place. Matatabi was the first who had to tap out. After that Isobu took a bit longer. Together with Son Naruto managed to finish most of the regions. As Son entered the state of recharging Kurama and Naruto managed to summon or create enough life to start the process of nature chakra being produced. Essentially enabling the Biju to recharge by themselves. It would be a slow process at first. But the longer the life had time to grow the more chakra would be produced and with each new Biju, the process would be getting quicker and quicker. Till it would be on par with the elemental nations. It would be quite easy as everything here had roots in charka and in return would be producing more natural charka.

After Naruto had also applied the seals to protect this new dimension with a barrier that would grow with it to protect from unnecessary violence and unauthorized travel he made his way to the center of his world. Here stood a small monastery-like building. In one hall stood the duplication of the Tori gate. Many seals had burned out. "Well Kurama, time to get home what do you think? I feel wasted." He gave a tired sigh as he summoned his staff and began to tap a certain sequence.

"I will need to rest for quite some time after this Naruto. But. I can only say that Father would be proud of your work here." Kurama said with a proud expression that reflected in his voice.

"Ours, it was a team effort. I would have been exhausted after the first stage of the creation." He finished the tapping and slowly the gap began to appear and as it was big enough for him to get through he did so. The now crimson red-haired Naruto really hoped not so much time had passed back in the nations.

As he opened his eyes again he was welcomed by a very surprised Karin who sat there with Han drinking tea. "Naruto? What happened to your hair?"
