"So the mark is proof that I am indeed the child that was promised and it is through me that Uzushio will be restored to its former glory"

Naruto already knows this but he asks Devi again and again because everything feels unreal to him. Sometime ago he was just a normal boy hated by everyone around him and suddenly he is the hope of an entire nation waiting for his arrival and it feels burdening.

Naruto wants to restore Uzushio and bring the clan back together not because of some prophecy but because he wants to do it. Devi agrees with him saying that he should only go where his heart takes him so there's no pressure there but still knowing everything that Devi has told him has shaken him that he couldn't believe everything to this day.

Every morning he wakes up thinking that this might all be a dream and reality will kick through soon but everyday Devi is present there , so is Kurama and the Mark in his hand.

The Uzumaki Swirl present in his arm feels so much more than a simple mark. It feels ancient and powerful. It feels sentient like it is calling to him saying something he couldn't understand, he feels the mark is trying to lead him somewhere or to something like it wanted Naruto to know something but he couldn't for some reason. He tells this much to Devi who nods her head in understanding.

"Listen Naruto, you are not a normal child and neither are Uzumaki. Uzushio itself isn't normal. When I created our home there with Aizen we used all of our knowledge and power to make it as perfect as possible.

Uzushio has always been filled with our powers and has been subjected to the powers of the gods.

When Aizen sealed Uzushio in hope of your birth, Uzushio itself closed herself from all around and now the island is surrounded by whirlpools far more wild and thunderous than ever before , the only reason you were able to enter Uzushio when you summoned me was only because of who you are and what you meant to both of us. The Uzushio that you saw that day is not what it is supposed to be and only you can bring back her true beauty out for everyone to see.

Uzushio is weeping for her children like I do. Uzushio is waiting for you like every other Uzumaki and that mark on your hand is proof of that. It is the only way to connect every Uzumaki together and bring down the barrier that sealed Uzushio. For now only you can enter the Island but when you have completely gained the approval of Uzushio and me you will be able to reseal the island and wield the true power of the Uzumaki.

But that mark is incomplete. You can see the swirl of Uzushio on your hand but if you look closely you'll find that it has only a little colour in it. That is because up until now you were unaware of everything but now that you have me you know everything.

That mark is there to show that Uzushio has awakened from its long slumber but she is still not ready to welcome you because you haven't proven yourself to Uzushio.

You must prove your wisdom and your strength. You must prove your will and your courage and when you have proven everything that Uzushio requires of you. When Uzushio thinks you are ready to be home it will call you and all her children's back to where they all belong. That is the day the Mark will gain its full colouring and then you will know what it is saying and what you must do.

You have already promised me that you will restore Uzushio and that you will bring the clan back together but you must understand it won't be an easy task. It will be like moving a mountain but much more dangerous.

You'll have to train yourself to the death if you want the power to protect all of which you treasure and to fulfil your dreams. Because if you remain weak you won't be able to protect anything not even your dreams Naruto.

I am here and so is Kurama and we will help you as best as we can but it is You have to do the heavy lifting. You are free to do what you want in life and I will support you but if you choose to walk this path then it is important that you know what you are getting into.

Not only are the Enemy of Uzushio powerful and dangerous but there will be other obstacles on your path to glory . So if you want to move these mammoth mountains then you must become much much stronger than them. Are you ready for it my little prince?"

Naruto has always dreamt big. When he was a child his dream was to be the greatest Hokage so that everyone will finally acknowledge him as Naruto Uzumaki but those days are over and now he dreams of his clan being happy and together rebuilding Uzushio and being the best family that they were supposed to be.

He has always known that power will be required to achieve his dreams whether it will be to become Hokage or to rebuild Uzushio and now Devi is telling him the same thing. He knows in his heart what is required of him and that the path to his paradise won't be easy but he also doesn't like easy. He is Naruto Uzumaki, heir of the storms and whirlpools and he will show the world what happens when you mess with his family and home.

He will do anything and everything to ensure that his people are safe and happy and he will not let anyone destroy that happiness again.

"I am aware of the path that I have chosen for me and I know that it won't be easy. A day will come when the storm ahead will feel impossible to survive but I will survive it and I will do anything necessary for the survival of my people. I, Naruto Uzumaki vows to rebuild Uzushio and bring the Uzumaki clan together even if I die achieving my goal."

Naruto spoke with so much conviction that the mark on his palm glowed with its appreciation and it gained a little bit more colour. Even the sky bestowed their blessings with a thunderous roar and Devi smiled and her eyes told him that she is convinced of his words, that she puts her trust on him like Uzushio does and Naruto will not disappoint them. He will achieve his dream or die trying but he will not give up no matter what because that is his ninja way to Never Give Up.

Flashback Ends:

A year and half has passed since Naruto met Devi and Kurama and his life is getting better and better everyday. Now not only he has people he can call family even if one of them is a thousand year old ghost or the other one a giant fox made up of chakra for Naruto they are more than enough to be his family but he now knows almost everything important about himself.

The truths of his life have been hidden by him for far too long and all the important choices were made for him but not anymore. Now he will decide what to do with his life and what dreams to follow. He has already decided what he is going to do in this life and he is working towards that goal.

In the past year his relationship with some people of the village has improved much more than what he previously thought and some have taken a fall from what they were. Iruka sensei has become a constant in his life now that he takes his studies more seriously and started working hard to become much better than he previously was. His improvement has only shown Iruka sensei that Naruto is serious about improving himself and he is helping Naruto with his studies much more than any other student in his class.

No one has ever shown Naruto favouritism so to know that you are the favourite student of your teacher is quite the feeling and Naruto likes feeling like this. Iruka not only helps him during the academy but sometimes he even comes to Naruto's apartment to drop some books or scrolls that Naruto might need and even does shopping for Naruto after realising that he can't buy proper things himself from the villagers and Naruto is very grateful for everything that he has been doing for the him.

While on the other hand his relationship with the Hokage has taken a turn. Naruto no longer trusts the old man the way he previously did but he still didn't hate him. Previously the third was the only person to show Naruto any kind of affection or kindness and because of that he had a special place in his heart but now that all the secrets are in the open every time he sees the third he feels the same hurt he felt the first time he learned the truth of his life. So Naruto keeps his distance from him. He stopped going to the Hokage office unless absolutely necessary.

Even the old man has sensed that something has changed between them so he also respects Naruto's choice and only visits him to give his monthly allowance. He also expresses his happiness on knowing that Naruto is improving in his studies and his belief that he will surely become a great Shinobi one day and he might not show it but it fills Naruto with happiness knowing he has made the old man proud.

Speaking of changed relationships the thing that surprised him most was the sudden change in behaviour that Sasuke showed him ever since he started focusing on his studies.

It all started slowly with Sasuke treating him better than before and giving him Taijutsu tips while sparring, then he invited him to train together after the academy because according to Sasuke there was no one in the academy who challenge him enough before Naruto started improving and now they both can train together to improve their skills.

He even invited him to his clan compund to use the Uchiha training grounds which was a huge deal considering he never talks about his clan with anyone and so Naruto accepted it all without any fuss.

While Devi and Kurama can train him about Chakra and Uzumaki arts he needs someone to help him in his physical training and there was no one better than Sasuke in his class and Naruto might have rejected his help before thinking he was just looking down on him but now he understood things better and he isn't going to refuse any help that might help him achieve his goals.

While they train together almost everyday they also started sitting together in the academy. It was actually Sasuke who insisted that they sit together because Naruto provided him a shield from Sasuke's fangirls.

Naruto was never popular in his class and ever since he started wearing the tengu mask the fangirls avoid him as much as they can and this provided Sasuke the brilliant idea of sitting together with Naruto and one day while Naruto entered the class Sasuke was the one who invited Naruto to his seat in front of everyone and ever since then they always sit together.

They never spoke to each other unless necessary because either Naruto is focusing on his lectures or he is busy with a conversation with Devi or Kurama and Sasuke doesn't feel like talking to anyone this gave Naruto the perfect place to spend his time while in the academy.

Some of the fangirls were even angry that Naruto seems to get along with Sasuke while they couldn't and Sakura was the one who seems the most displeased. She even thought of berating Naruto and punch him in the face for taking seat next to her precious Sasuke and while Naruto doesn't hate he he also doesn't like her anymore and He will also not tolerate any kind of demeaning attitude towards himself and that's what he did when Sakura tried to punch him, he caught her punch and told her to leave him alone. His tone was cold like ice and Sakura understood that this was not the old Naruto that will tolerate the abuse that others give him just because they think he deserves this. She ran away with her tails between her legs.

Even though none of them will say it out loud, they have become friends. Sasuke always waits for him to come and start training and Naruto always makes sure that he doesn't cross any line with Sasuke. They both are in a friendly relationship that is beneficial to both of them.

And that's what has become Naruto's social life. With Iruka , Sasuke and the monthly visits from the Hokage being the constant presence in his routine. The only thing he did daily was to visit the Ichiraku Ramen. They always knew who he was but never treated him like the rest of the villagers and so Naruto will forever be grateful to them and their ramen also tastes like heaven. His visits to Ichiraku served a dual purpose; one was to eat their ramen and another was to constantly thank them in the ways that he can for all of their kindness. He will never forget the day when Teuchi offered him his first bowl of ramen because he was hungry and couldn't afford to buy anything.

That's just what he is doing when he is not talking or training with his family. His training has improved significantly because he is now being trained in ways of the Uzumaki. Naruto is different not only because he is a jinchuriki but also because he is an Uzumaki.

According to both Devi and Kurama His chakra is different from any other Uzumaki they have seen. It is much more dense and powerful from even some chunin from this village and it also tends to work differently than other people's and only Devi understood the reason behind it.

According to her he has been exposed to Kurama's chakra ever since he has been conceived inside his mother not only that when he was born he was immediately exposed to the power of the shinigami and the nine tails was sealed inside him.

The seal that his father used made sure that little bit of Kurama's chakra will be constantly leaked into his own chakra system and as a result of all this his chakra changed from just a normal Uzumaki child to be more like a biju.

Biju were made up by dividing the Jubi into nine forms and because of that not only they have the chakra of the jubi but also its connection to nature. According to Kurama even if you combine all the nine bijus they wouldn't even be half as powerful as the jubi because it was being made up entirely of natural chakra.

Chakra is given to humans by the sage of six paths but that doesn't mean it didn't exist before that as jubi is the example of that being made of pure chakra. Chakra was present everywhere in every aspect of Nature humans just didn't know how to get that and use it but when the sage of six paths shared his chakra with humans not only it provided them with the ability to use chakra but it also connected them with Nature.

The Sage used chakra in its purest form and he became one with chakra itself and that is the reason he was able to achieve such a feat. The chakra he shared was not to give them the power but to understand each other. The chakra that his disciples received was as pure as a biju chakra. Just pure raw chakra and that gave them the connection they were lacking. With time their bodies adapted to the natural aspect of chakra and mutated to accept it as their own part and when that happened it gave birth to the bloodlines that we now know and why their children inherited the power shared by the sage.

But with time people forgot about the Sage's teaching and what the real purpose of chakra was. They only thought of it as a power source and became too reliant on it. They only thought about destruction when it comes to chakra and this diluted their chakra qualities. The Uzumaki have strong chakra because while they were Shinobi like another ninja they did not limit themselves to using Chakra for fighting only. They used seals and created seals, something that is as pure and fascinating as chakra itself and because of that they were able to maintain their chakra qualities much longer than other humans.

Naruto's chakra is much more powerful and universal ( in the words of kurama ) than even the strong Uzumaki. His chakra has more quality of a biju than that of a human and that is why his chakra training is also different from other humans.

Instead of learning hand signs to learn jutsu like any other academy student Naruto is learning to change his chakra into different chakra natures without the use of any hand signs.

A biju doesn't need a hand sign to use it's power. They can manipulate their chakra to the extreme and have perfect control over it even when they have such large amounts of chakra and the reason behind is they understand their chakra much more than any human understands theirs.

Naruto needs to do the same. To perfectly control his chakra he first needs to understand it and the first step to do this is to learn the nature of his chakra. Which is what he is trying to do today

" Chakra was derived from nature and because of that it will always have an inclination towards nature. The five basic components of nature are Air , Fire , Water , Lightining and Earth. Without these aspects of nature it cannot survive hence why every Shinobi who uses chakra is affiliated to one of these natures and that is what we call your chakra nature.

It can be different for different people. Sometimes you inherit the chakra nature of your parents, sometimes you are born completely different from them. Some people have multiple chakra natures mostly in the cases of bloodline wielders.

If you have a chakra nature associated with fire then you'll be able to use fire jutsu much more easily than that of any other nature but that was not always the case.

When my father shared his chakra with his disciples, even they showed their inclination towards different chakra natures and decided to master them first before trying to learn other natures.

But how do your chakra decide which nature you should be more inclined to. Does It depends on where you are born or who your parents are and what their chakra natures were OR is it some other factors that we don't know.

I always thought about this when I was little and as I grew up I found the answer to my questions.

Every person is born of Nature. All the five basic aspects of nature is part of them but one nature is always dominant in them and that nature decides their personality or plays a huge role in what their personality will be and that same nature also can be seen as your chakra nature.

But as you grow you learn different things and meet different people. All your life experience changes you and shapes your personality and your thinking process and as result your chakra also changes that is the reason the more you grow and train with different natures the more easy it becomes to use them and some people even master more than 2 chakra natures.

Your personality drives your chakra. For example when Kurama was still in Uzushio his chakra was pleasant and calm. It was warm and welcoming but now after experiencing so many years as a slave of humans his hatred has also grown and so his chakra changed to much more volatile and cold.

With this we can conclude that to fully understand and to gain complete control of your chakra natures you need to first understand yourself and your personality. What do you like and why do you like it? What do you hate and why? What makes you angry and what makes you happy? What is it that you want to achieve?

Things like these are what shapes a man and once you understand yourself you will completely understand your chakra.

For you the training that I have decided is completely different than what other Ninja do. You have time to think about these answers and once you find them it'll become easy for you to control your chakra as it was for me and it is for Kurama. But in the meantime we can work on your foundations. The stronger your understanding of chakra is, the easier it will be for you to control it.

We will not check what your nature is at least for now. You will learn the basics of every chakra nature whether it be hard or easy for you and we will only move forward when you have mastered the basics but you don't have to worry because we are here to help you along the way as families do."

Devi told him clearly about what chakra is and what chakra nature means. Naruto understood everything clearly. His training is only going to get hard as time goes on but nothing worth comes without hard work.

If he wants to achieve the goals that he has set for himself then he needs to work harder than anybody else.

If he wants to become the strongest Shinobi ever then he needs to train harder than anyone else too.

And Naruto is ready for the challenges ahead. With his family by his side there's nothing that Naruto Uzumaki can't achieve.
