Chapter 2: Revelations and Preparations

Right now in Konoha, Hokage office

Tsunade Senju, the Godaime Hokage, was in a bad mood showed itself when she slammed the door of her office which caused several cracks to form on the door. The reason for her Bad or extremely angry reaction is because of the recently ended council meeting. Behind her was Shizune her assistant and her first student, Kakashi was also with them to tell them a clear report on what had actually happened with their confrontation with Naruto. Though it is to be noted that Kakashi was in bandages due to the injuries he suffered at the hands of Naruto.

You see when team 7 returned to the village after four days of travel. Kakashi and his teams first have to go to the hospital to take care of their wounds as Sakura can't heal all of them. So Kakashi sent a message to her that they will meet Tsunade after getting treatment for their injuries. But Tsunade didn't want to wait, so she herself came to the hospital to heal their wounds and once she looked at all of the team 7 state. When she reached there and examined the extent of their injuries it made it clear to her that Naruto obviously resisted and fought them, anyone can tell that from one look at them. Once all of the members of team 7 healed. Tsunade ordered Kakashi to come to her office the next day at 10: am sharp and no excuses otherwise she would make him see his Icha-Icha book collection in front of him.

Needless to say the threat worked and Kakashi was present there on the next day but before he could report and anbu appeared in her office telling her that elder Danzo Shimura had called for the Council meeting. She knew why the warhawk had called for the meeting it must be because he got the report on Naruto from Sai due the seal on his tongue. Normally, this would be of no concern as it didn't involve the safety of the village as a whole. The Hokage is the only one who can call the meeting but if for some reason Hokage couldn't call the meeting then a council member is allowed to call the meeting. But Danzo called the meeting in hopes of playing with the fear of council that Naruto has been growing stronger and might one day seek to take revenge on them mainly the civilian council members fear. He had hoped that the council would either force, Tsunade to send a retrieval team to bring back Naruto to the village so, he could secretly place loyalty seal on the boy to control him or put him in the bingo book as a Missing-nin. But both of them failed as Tsunade and Shinobi council refused to do that.

Tsunade then told the council that they can't put Naruto in the bingo book as he didn't kill any of the team 7 members and he was banished from Konoha so his shinobi licence of Konoha was cancelled as well. So he can't be put into the bingo book. Of course some of the old civilian council members who were still part of it, put cause a fuss about it that the demon should be put into the bingo book. But he got his answer as Tsunade punched him throught the wall breaking his limbs. But the two elders beside Danzo also said that Tsunade should send a team to at least retrieve Naruto to which she agreed internally since she can't let akatsuki get to naruto. Though she told them she will think about it. After she dismissed the council she ordered Kakashi to come with her in the office. Even her former teammate Jiraiya is present in the office about the matter that has miraculously nothing to do with his 'research'.

"I swear one of these days. I am going to snap literally because one of those idiots on the council." Tsunade swore, groaning with sitting back in her chair and massage her head in order to calm down the headache she got from the Council or more precisely Danzo and Civilian council.

"You should take it easy, hime. Otherwise you would start to have wrinkles on your forehead. It won't do you any good if you did that." Jiraiya the toad sage said jokingly.

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya with annoyance and look that said 'If you say anything stupid. I gonna beat you stupid.' which the man take it as his sign to shut up it won't to do him any good if Tsunade took out her anger on him along with the anger she felt for the council.

"I just wish, that I could just disband the civilian council. I really wish granduncle shouldn't have made the council for civilians in a shinobi village." Tsunade said.

"You are right. Because the look I saw on Danzo's face when Kakashi recounting about their battle with Naruto. And from what Sai definitely told him. I am surprised he wasn't pushing more for Naruto's return to the village more." Jiraiya commented sitting on a windowsill as he has been present in the meeting and saw how the warhawk was practically salivating to get Naruto in his control.

"Okay Kakashi, I know you didn't say a lot of stuff that happened during the meeting with the council. But the fact that I got the letter from the Kazekage about why the suna borders were in a bad shape. Though I have an idea that it was Naruto who informed Gaara about this. So, Kakashi tell me everything that happened with when you and team 7 met Naruto." Tsunade ordered the copy-cat ninja.

Kakashi nodded and took a deep breath before explaining how he and his team failed to negotiate with Naruto, explaining the encounter in details. "Apparently when me and my team encountered Naruto. He wasn't pleased to me us. He made it very clear to us that he holds a grudge against Me, Sasuke and Sakura."

"I warned you, hime that sending them after Naruto was a bad idea." Jiraiya commented.

Tsunade just let out a sigh of annoyance before looking straight at Kakashi. She nodded at him to continue with his report.

"From the moment Naruto gave us all a warning to leave him and when Sakura and I tried to reason with him. He simply told us that he won't comeback to konoha and warned us to leave him. His animosity towards us was very clear. He didn't even call me Kakashi let alone sensei simply called me Hatake and He also told Sakura to shut up by calling her useless." Kakashi said and all three of them had look of disbelief that Naruto insulted his crush or former crush now.

Tsunade then said, "So you are basically telling me that the next team I send after Naruto should be the one who was on good terms with before he left, right?" Kakashi nodded and Tsunade thought for a moment about which team to send after Naruto, but before that she asked Kakashi a very important question. "Kakashi what can you tell me about Naruto's skill level after your fight with him?" As she wanted to know just how strong Naruto became for him to injure team 7 that much, especially after she learned from Pakkun that Naruto broke Kakashi's right shoulder who was one of the elite jōnin of Konoha and matched sasuke in a sword fight who has killed Orochimaru during the time when the snake sannin himself came to the village to take sasuke who was 16 with him. But he didn't anticipate just how strong sasuke has become and ended up paying the price with him dying at the hands of Sasuke Uchiha making him an S-rank shinobi. The reason why sasuke hasn't been promoted to jōnin is because of the deed he did which caused Naruto's banishment.

Kakashi sighed; he expected this questioned to be asked, so he prepared to explain it in advance. "Naruto has gotten very fast. He was able to dodge several of our attacks easily. So my assessment for his speed is high Jōnin level. His reaction timing was easily high Jōnin level, as when I tried to sneak up on him to put a suppression seal on him, he reacted really fast and performed hand signs in incredible speed, and used his wind jutsu that almost pierced my shoulder. So that confirms our suspicion of him being a wind user."

Jiraiya then added, "He must have gotten it from Minato. Because Minato also had High affinity for Wind and Lighting."

Kakashi nodded before continuing with his explanation, "From what I saw Naruto's wind jutsus they revolve around mid to long range attacks. With several methods such as piercing, impact and slashing. All of them could be used by him as an offence and defence." He paused to catch his breath before adding, "And from what my and Sasuke's sharingan could see, is that he had almost thrice the amount of chakra he had five years ago, so that means his chakra level should be around high kage to mid Biju level and that's not counting him using Kyuubi's chakra. He also has almost perfect chakra control since he was able to easily cancel Sakura's chakra enhanced punch with a chakra pulse."

That stunned the two sannin's and Shizune. Both at the fact that Naruto found a method to cancel the strength technique that tsunade made but also the fact that he had almost perfect chakra control, with those reserves level it should be difficult or outright impossible for him to have, since before he left Naruto had poor chakra control.

But Kakashi wasn't done yet, "Also, Naruto is highly skilled in Kenjutsu as he was able to handle both Sasuke and Sai in a sword battle. Naruto also inherited his mother's chakra chains though his were red in colour and he somehow has a similar jutsu to Minato sensei's hiraishin justu." He paused for the information to sink in.

That made the three present in the office gape at the what Kakashi just said and floored them at the same time. While they have an idea that Naruto might have chakra chains inherited from his mother Kushina but the idea of him having a similar jutsu to his father's hiraishin was just mind-boggling to them.

"How is that possible?! The chakra chains I could understand since I have an slight idea that might have inherited from his mother and it's a Uzumaki clan technique. But to him having a similar jutsu to Minato's is impossible. Since all the notes are sealed inside to the estate that Minato and Kushina lived in when they were alive." Jiraiya said in disbelief.

Tsunade was experiencing a headache. So to calm her nerves she took out a sake bottle from her secret stack and took a long gulp down her throat before she calming slightly and nodding for Kakashi to continue.

Kakashi continued, "Naruto also has a technique called 'Explosive fist' which is very destructive because when I saw Naruto use it he literally destroyed the ground on which Sasuke, Sakura and I were standing. We had to jump to avoid it because it also sent several chunks of ground at us." Kakashi paused to take a breather, not noticing the look of realisation that appeared on Jiraiya's face. "Also Naruto was able to use the Yin release to create a red chakra dome around him and explode it on outside which was so powerful that it created a giant crater beneath his feet. And Lastly Naruto has wood release kekei genkai on him which he used to create a wood dome around him. When sasuke sent a chidori stream at him and Sai was restricted his legs with his ink snakes." Kakashi finished.

There was a pindrop silence in the room. All three other occupants of the room were having a hard time believing that Naruto not only has Yin release but also the Shodai's infamous wood release. Tsunade was specially in a shell shocked state as she just couldn't understand as to how Naruto has wood release.

Meanwhile Shizune got over her stunned and shocked state a little before asking, "Mokuton as in Shodai Hokage's kekei genkai? How is that possible? Are you saying that Naruto-kun have Shodai's bloodline?!" Shizune asked.

"I am not telling you any lie, Shizune. But I and my students all saw Naruto using wood release with our own eyes. We just don't know how he has it." Kakashi answered.

"Maybe it was because both Senju and Uzumaki clans were blood cousin's clans." Tsunade thought out loud, "But I haven't seen or heard of an Uzumaki having wood release before not even my grandmother Mito Uzumaki told me of someone in her clan who has wood release like my grandfather." Tsunade was now in deep thought.

"It will be difficult for us to bring Naruto back to konoha, Tsunade-sama. If he has full control over, wood release." Shizune said.

"That's an understatement Shizune, if what I realise is true." Jiraiya said catching everyone's attention in an instant.

"What do you mean Jiraiya?" Tsunade asked curiously.

"I will explain it but before that Kakashi pls tell me how those swords that Naruto had on him looked like." Jiraiya asked the jōnin in a serious voice, gaining himself the confusion looks from Kakashi, Shizune and Tsunade.

Kakashi was confused as to why the toad sage was asking him that but decided to answer him, "The First sword that Naruto has is a standard size and shaped katana with green metal and the second sword that Naruto has is made of dark blue metal with tri-colour appearance to it."

Jiraiya nodded, before saying "That confirms my suspicion."

"What suspicion, Jiraiya?" Tsunade asked her former teammate.

"Do you remember a few days ago when I said that Naruto's appearance that was described by Neji and Shino did rings a bell." Jiraiya asked tsunade who nodded, "I started to look into it and discovered that a wandering-nin appeared four years ago right after one year when Naruto disappeared from the village. This wandering-nin had been making a name for himself since then. In the spam of those four years when he appeared he has many incredible deeds such as help eliminating Corrupt government of the countries or stopping coup'detat for many countries, like Vegetable country, Moon country and Bird country. This wandering-nin has also helped in overthrowing the corrupt leader of Hoshigakure and has even helped the princess Shion from the demon country in defeating an ancient demon named Moryo. And most notable of his deed is that he has helped kiri rebels in overthrowing the fourth mizukage's rule he also was the one who defeated the fourth mizukage who was the Jinchuriki of Three tails in their battle, all by himself." Jiraiya paused for a moment before continuing, "And so far many don't know what the guy looks like or his real name, the only people who know what he looks like and his real name are the leaders of the countries he helped and some of their trusted man who wouldn't reveal anything to anyone. The only thing others know is that he wears a black with a dragon like pattern and has a fighting style named dragon art. Also he uses the exact same swords that Kakashi just told us Naruto uses. Also the explosive fist technique that Kakashi just mentioned is the same technique that wandering nin uses. He is called the Kuroi Ryuu (Black Dragon) and he is an S-rank shinobi with a good size bounty on his head." Jiraiya finished his explanation.

Tsunade, Shizune and Kakashi all had their eyes widened the size of dinner plates with their jaws hitting the floor. They never have imagined that Naruto would become that strong over the past five years. It just seems impossible. But now that they think about it Naruto does have the habit to do the impossible and it also made sense that how Naruto defeated his former team. The accomplishment that jiraiya just mentioned about Naruto achieved practically showed that he had to answer S-rank shinobi. But that also meant..

"So that basically means that if we try to forcefully try to bring Naruto back to konoha, which by the way was going to be almost a hell lot difficult. We'll have to deal with his allies which are Wind country, Water country, Spring country, Tea country, Moon country, Bird country, Vegetable country, Demon country, Wave country, Sunagakure, Kirigakure, Yukigakure, Takigakure, Getsugakure and Hoshigakure?" Tsunade summed it up to which she got a grim nod from jiraiya. Tsunade groaned and slammed her head on the table causing it to crack in half. Shizune after seeing this quickly went outside to get the new desk.

Kakashi the copy ninja then spoke up, "Well let's put the political reasoning aside for a bit, it might be good for us to leave Naruto alone. If what Jiraiya-sama told us is true then Naruto is more than capable of defending himself. And he basically made it clear to us that he has no intentions of returning to konoha. Also if we continued to force him to return to konoha then it might make his disdain for the village even worse And I personally think that if we keep pushing him it will raise his anger towards us more than it already is, so our one option is to just leave him alone or else. He might join another village such as Kiri or Suna." Kakashi explained as he didn't want to make the matter worse with Naruto then it already is.

"Yeah, and I understand that it could do a lot worse, since Suna, Kiri, taki, Getsu, Yuki and Hoshi already had an alliance. But it could be dangerous for Naruto to wander around alone." Jiraiya said looking at the tsunade. "While I agree with Kakashi, hime. We all know that Danzo won't let Naruto wander around on his own or let him join the other village. He will definitely send his root after Naruto to capture him or to kill him. Not to mention the akatsuki, all of their members are of S-Rrank and not mention the leader of Akatsuki who could keep all of those S-rank ninja in line. Who I know is going to come after Naruto in person since he most likely had control of kyuubi. As well as any other ninjas or samurais who want to collect the bounty on his head."

"You are right about this, Jiraiya." Tsunade said sadly as she took out a scroll and started writing in it. "As much as I don't want to do this to brat, it's for his own good and safety. I will take the possibility of him hating me. But for now the members, I am assigned to bring Naruto back must start preparing for their confrontation with him. We will wait till we get to the location where Naruto is. I'll also announce his heritage to the village when he agrees to come back to the village. Hopefully that will get the populace of konoha to leave him alone in peace, since I know for sure that Naruto won't sit around if the villagers and Shinobi tried to attack him."

She then finished writing in the scroll and handed it to kakashi. "Kakashi this scroll has the names that I have selected for the mission to retrieve. I have also added Yugao as Kurenai's replacement since she has to take care of her child and I doubt the genjustu will work on the brat. Also inform all of them about Naruto's allias too."

Kakashi took the scroll from Hokage and bowed his head before leaving the room to inform everyone on the list about the mission to retrieve Naruto.

"I have a feeling that I am also on the list, Hime." Jiraiya said.

Tsunade nodded, "Damn right you are. Since you will be needed along with Tenzo to stop Naruto from unleashing the Kyuubi's chakra. As you said Naruto will have full control of kyuubi's chakra and not mention his wood release which we don't know if he has mastered it or not. So Tenzo will be there to help you guys counter Naruto's wood release. Also if you managed to get the necklace of shodai on him then you might be able to calm him down."

Jiraiya just Nodded his head but didn't say anything since he knew that they needed that many numbers on them, if the akatsuki suddenly pops up to capture Naruto.

With Konoha 12

The members of konoha 12, with sai had gathered around the team 7's old training ground to hear about their encounter with Naruto. By the time all three of them finished explaining about the encounter with Naruto. All of the members of konoha 12 beside team 7 have shocked written all over their faces. After a moment of silence it was neji who spoke up first.

"I must say that I am impressed with Naruto's growth." Neji commented as he didn't expect Naruto to become that strong. Sure he knows that Naruto will become strong in the future of 6 to 8 years but for Naruto to become that strong 5 years is just a miracle.

"I agree with you neji-san. Looking back I am glad that we decided not engage naruto-san when we first saw him." Shino agreed with the Hyuuga prodigy.

"I want to know how Naruto get those swords that Sasuke described. Maybe he will let me take a look at them." Tenten said thoughtfully when sasuke described the swords that Naruto wielded.

"Yosh! I'm just happy that Naruto-kun's youth! hasn't diminished." Rock Lee said pumping his first in the air for the moment before saying, "Though the matter of him refusing to return to the village is most sad and concerning."

"That's a huge understatement, Lee." Shikamaru said to the Mini might guy. "It's a good chance that if we keep pushing Naruto. He might snap at us and konoha as a whole. And I have a really bad feeling that Hokage-sama is going to send us all to capture Naruto next time she learnt about his whereabouts."

"Perhaps not, maybe Hokage-sama will leave naruto-kun alone after she learned that he is happy outside of the village." Hinata Hyuuga said without stuttering, as she has changed so much during the spam of five years. She was heart broken when she learnt that her crush was banished but she made a promise to Naruto that she will get strong enough to stand on her own and stand for him. She had apparently declared herself a free Hyuuga who you the clan cannot control and put the cage bird seal on her forehead after she defeated her father and Hanabi in battle for that right.

"She might have been thinking about that option but she may didn't have choice in the matter." Sasuke said. "The risk of him being captured by Akatsuki is too great to ignore or worse if he gets captured by another village for the kyuubi. And as Shikamaru just said that she might send a new team to bring Naruto back, which is most likely going to be all of us."

"Surely, you don't think that Hokage-sama is going to send all of us." Choji asked as he looked at his best friend.

"It's troublesome. But it is a possibility to think about it." Shikamaru thought about it. "And from what Sasuke, Sakura and Sai told us that they along with Kakashi-sensei couldn't lay a finger on him. Then Hokage-sama will definitely send us all. So that we can overwhelm him with our numbers or maybe a few of us can convince him to come back to konoha."

"Can't you just ask Temari about Naruto's whereabouts, since she is Gaara's sister and Naruto and her brother are best friends. So she might know something." Ino suggested.

"She won't tell us anything about Naruto. Because you know that he helped her brother get over his unstable state. So she is grateful and indebted to Naruto. And I can bet that even Anko-san and Ibiki-san combined cannot make her tell us anything. That troublesome woman." Shikamaru said though he was more focused on the fact that it will affect their relationship. After all dating someone from another village is never easy especially if the girl you are dating is the older sister of Kazekage

"It probably won't be that bad." Kiba said suddenly. "I bet once we bring back that idiot. He will return to his happy-go-lucky self and brush this all under the rug." Kiba said positively. (A/N: Don't worry kiba he will brush something up for sure and it's going to be your sorry mutt of an ass which he will drag through the mud! HA!)

"I am very Doubtful about that." Sasuke admitted. "Naruto has made it perfectly clear from the first time we met that he didn't want anything to do with Konoha or any of us. He even insulted both Sakura and Kakashi-sensei to prove his dislike for us. But I have to agree with Shikamaru that Hokage is going to send us all to bring him back. Also this is an SS-rank secret meaning we can't tell anyone about it, especially the civilians."

All of them nodded as they knew that the response from the civilian will be disastrous except from the ichiraku's.

With the Jōnins of Konoha 12

In another part of the village, the jōnin were having a meeting of their own in a shinobi bar.

Kakashi was talking with Asuma, Gai, Yamato and Iruka about the mission they were given. Kakashi has already told Anko and Yugao about the mission involving Naruto respectively and now he is telling the four men. He also told all of them about Naruto's allias. He also suggested them to tell their students about Naruto's allias when they start preparing for the mission from tomorrow. Currently he was telling them about his and his team's encounter with Naruto. When he finished his explanation all the other four men had reactions that ranged from stunned to shock to amazement.

"Damn, I didn't think that Naruto will become that strong. It is hard to believe that he's this Kuroi Ryuu who we have been hearing about since past four years." Asuma said breaking the silence.

"Same for me here but Jiraiya-sama was sure that Naruto is Kuroi Ryuu since both of them have many things in common like the exact fighting style and the exact swords that completely match the description that is given by jiraiya-sama and the description written in the bingo book." Kakashi told them.

"When you look at the accomplishments that Kuroi Ryuu achieved you could practically see everything that both of them have in common that it would make sense that it is Naruto's allias. They both are against corruption and cruelty. And Naruto's record and behaviour showed that he was against the oppression and unfairness. He will jump into the situation without looking if he could save innocent people." Iruka added.

The rest also nodded since they also knew that Naruto won't sit by and just watch as people are oppressed and not given the fair chance.

"Truly Naruto's determination and flames of youth! hasn't been diminished but they seem to have gotten brighter! I am looking forward to meet him soon!" Guy said with fire in his eyes.

"Sorry to bust your bubble guy but I highly doubt that it will be a friendly reunion." Kakashi said and all of them noticed the depressed tone in his voice.

"Is the matter worse than it seems, Kakashi-senpai." Yamato asked his old anbu leader.

"Believe me, Yamato. When I say that it is way worse. Naruto didn't even call me Kakashi just Hatake and he said in a disdain full tone at that." Kakashi said his shoulders slightly dropping in depression. "And it wasn't just me he outright told Sakura that after all this time she is still useless as she was before he left konoha."

All of them had to gape at that since they knew that Naruto had a crush on Sakura and for him to openly insult her just showed that he had really changed.

"Anyway we are not moving until we get the location of where Naruto is and to see if the place where our presence won't cause trouble for the village." Kakashi said. "Hokage-sama and Jiraiya-sama decided to tell our teams tomorrow about the mission. To prepare them from tomorrow onwards." The others nodded in agreement.

In Amegakure

Inside the village of hidden in the rain was a tall building. On the very top of the building was standing a man with multiple piercings on his face his hair were spiky orange he was wearing cloak of Akatsuki. This man's name is pain, the leader of Akatsuki and the self proclaimed god of Amegakure.

"Pain, he is here." Behind him was his best friend her name is konan.

Pain just Nodded his head, "I assume you have seen the battle between the Kyuubi Jinchuriki and the konoha shinobi, that zetsu recorded, madara." He asked finally turning around to meet the ghost of the Uchiha.

Said man looked at Pain with his sharingan from his single eye hole in his mask. "Indeed, I have seen it and I am sure that I am not the only one surprised by the what I saw."

Zetsu had recorded the battle between Naruto and his old teammates and sensei near the borders that connected the land of fire and land of wind in order for the akatsuki to gain more information on their target's skill level and strength. Needless to say everyone in akatsuki was shocked just how strong the kyuubi Jinchuriki has become and what truly made them stunned was that he possessed the Wood release kekei genkai of shodai Hokage.

"For him to be able to fight two sharingan users, both of them S-rank at that and left completely unharmed was an impressive feat." Konan commented.

Madara nodded, "Indeed it is, also his use of Kenjutsu, wind techniques and use of his chakra chains like his mother is quite impressive. But I believe the real topic about him is him having the Wood release."

"The infamous kekei genkai of the Shodaime hokage who was hailed as the God of shinobi. Due his use of wood release." Pain said.

"We must be careful to deal with him, pain." Konan said. "We don't know if he has mastered the wood release or not. So we must get more information about him and his use of wood release."

"Agreed." Madara said before looking at pain. "Tell zetsu to continue to spy on him when he is located. After staying of the radar for five years we've finally located the kyuubi Jinchuriki. We cannot afford to lose him again. So make sure to keep an eye out for him." He ordered pain before vanishing using his sharingan. Leaving both of them to themselves.

Next day in the Land of spring

"I really wish I didn't have wera clothing like this everytime I am here." Naruto said as he looked in the mirror. He was wearing a red and black kimono which he didn't like as he feels vulnerable wearing it due to his paranoia.

"Why it looks quite good on you, naruto-kun." Koyuki Kazahana the spring daimiyo said from behind him. "And besides you know you have to wear this because you are my guest as well as my dear husband."

Naruto just shook his head at koyuki but smiled at her nonetheless. Before kissing her on the lips which she returned happily he wrapped both his hands around her body. You see one year after his banishment Naruto had came to spring country and revealed to her that he was indeed alive. He had stayed here for almost 8 months training regularly and going to go out on his quests but during the same of those 8 months he and koyuki have come really close to each other. One day Naruto decided to tell koyuki that he has feelings for her and she gladly replied that she too felt the same way about him and the populace was not against it as well as he was the hero to them so they gladly accepted him as the fiance of koyuki at that time.

Both of them then separated to catch their breath before smiling at each other and pressing their forehead together.

"I love you." Koyuki said looking at him smiling.

A smile which Naruto returned and said, "I love you too my dear, snow princess."

Koyuki beamed at that kissed him again this time with more passion and love.

"You know you could just stay here in the spring country under my protection, right?" Koyuki asked after she separated her lips from his.

Naruto shook his head, "You know as well as I do that if I stayed here it will cause more problems for you and also put your and our little girls life in danger right?"

Koyuki nodded her head sadly before saying, "I know that, Naruto-kun. But can't I worry about my husband. You know how much I am scared whenever you go out."

Naruto just Nodded his, "I know that, koyuki-chan. But you have to understand that I can't stay here for too long because if anyone from konoha or Akatsuki find out about you being my wife and about our little girl Kazumi. Then they will attack the spring country especially the akatsuki just to get me out and capture me. But don't worry I am now ready and fully prepared to deal with them. And don't be sad it doesn't suit your wise and beautiful face." He told her getting a smile from her.

"Flatterer but if you keep that up then you'll will see just how beautiful I can be in bed tonight." Koyuki said with a seductive smile on her face.

Naruto just chuckled, "I'm looking forward to it. But I think it's time for us to go see how our little daughter is doing outside in garden with Yujin-san." He said.

Koyuki sighed, "Yeah you are right. You know if only I didn't have to share you with several other women. I would just keep you to myself."

Naruto just smirked at her, "Yeah and then you will complain to me every morning that I left you too sore and tried to get out of the bed in the morning." He told her at which she blushed crimson. Since it was true that he left her sore many times in bed when they did it.

Before she could reply they both arrived in front of the garden to see their one year old daughter, kazumi playing happily with Yujin. Kazumi had the same hair as her mother but they were spiky like Naruto's. She also has his ocean blue eyes and two whisker marks on each of her cheeks. Kazumi was wearing a kimono similar to her mother which was blue and red in colour with flower like pattern on it. Also in the garden were several samurai guards and though not visible, four Yuki-nins and Four Uzu-nins reafy to protect the young princess (Naruto had rebuilt his ancestors village Uzushiogakure and found many of his clans members and brought them back to the village.) And lastly yujin who was standing with kazumi playing with her.

Yujin had very unique appearance. He was taller than almost all human beings standing at 7 feet, had a black colour skin and he had no hair on his head. His eyes had red sclera with his eyes being completely yellow. He wore a long sleeve black hooded cloak that reached down to his ankles along with his black shinobi sandals he wore. The reason for Yujin's unique appearance was simple: he wasn't human. You see before the Sage of the six paths passed away he created Yujin using his Creation of all things technique. The reason for Yujin's creation was that sage wanted Yujin to watch over the world after he passed away, to record the history of the world and one day aid the one who sage told him and bijuus about the one who will bring the era of peace to the world.

During the first few years since his creation, yujin had befriended the Uzumaki clan. He saw Uzumaki and Senju clan as the true successor of the sage of the six paths since both of the clans descended from the asura otsutsuki the youngest son of the sage. But Yujin chose to be with Uzumaki clan since they were the clan of vast knowledge and wanted the peace to happen while senju wanted the same thing they couldn't maintain it due to them being rivals with the Uchiha clan who were the descendants of Indra otsutsuki the oldest son of the sage. When the invasion of Uzushio happened during the end of the second shinobi world war. Yujin was given a task of safe guarding the vault which was beneath the Uzukage tower with all of the scrolls and weapons made by the Uzumaki clan and to help the survivors that ever comeback to Whirlpool country. That's how Naruto met him, when he come to the island after learning about his heritage from Kurama. That was actually four months after he left konoha and since then he served Naruto faithfully.

Naruto's thoughts were cut off when he heard his daughter calling him and his wife, "Daddy! Mommy!" He saw his daughter waving at them.

Both of them smiled and he took kazumi in his arms. "Hello my little girl how are you doing? Have you been a good girl in my absence?" He asked his daughter.

"Yes!" Kazumi replied. "Me and mommy always play game whenever she is free from her work!!"

Naruto just laughed at his daughters excited nature it reminded him about how he used to be when he was a child.

After Naruto played with Kazumi for a an hour before she fell a asleep in his arms and he handed her to koyuki who took her daughter and headed straight towards her room.

Once she was gone with kazumi Naruto looked at yujin, "Yujin-san, I want you to go to konoha and find out what they are planning and also find out what the akatsuki is doing. Also make sure when you are in konoha to get all the evidence and information you can collect on Danzo shimura from his main base of operation and other bases." He ordered.

"Hai, Naruto-sama." Yujin nodded and immediately went to do the task he has been given.

With the Akatsuki

We could see all the akatsuki members in a dark cave with their astral images.

"It's time we start our plans, we have waited long enough. Now it's time for the akatsuki to bring the elemental nations to their knees and brought the era of peace." Pain declared.

Pain then looked at the zombie duo, "Hidan and Kakuzu you two go and capture the nibi Jinchuriki." He ordered.

"Fucking finally, I was getting annoyed of this bastards obsession with collecting bounties." Hidan said cursing Kakuzu.

"Shut it, hidan. You know as well as I do that we needed those funds." Kakuzu said before both of their astral images vanished indicating they are going to do their tasks.

"Itachi and Kisame you two go and bring the four tails Jinchuriki." He ordered the Uchiha and the monster of the mist.

"Understood." Itachi said.

"I hope that jinchuriki can put up good fight." Kisame said excitedly.

Both of them then went to do as ordered, as their astral images vanished.

"Sasori and Deidara after they brought back Nibi and Yonbi Jinchuriki you two will go and bring the Ichibi Jinchuriki from Suna." Pain told them getting a nod from Sasori and a grin from Deidara.

"Zetsu you go and find the current location of the other Jinchuriki's about where they are." He ordered the plant like man.

Zetsu nodded and went to do just as he was ordered.

"Soon the world shall know the true pain and the true peace." Pain said with his voice echoing in the cave.

Behind him the masked Uchiha grinned behind his mask as he thought, 'Soon my goal would be completed. When it do all of this world will be at eternal peace.' he chuckled to himself darkly before vanishing using his sharingan.
