The Kazakage---------------------------------------------------
&# 8220;Why don’t we head to my house where we can have a private chat. I have much to tell you.” Naruto spoke as he, and the others made there way to the gates that lead outside of Konoha.
“Naruto-san it is good to see you again. We all started to worry that maybe you had been killed, no one had heard for you for two years.” replied Gara as they continued to walk.
“Yeah that’s Jiraiya’s fault. He told me that I wasn’t allowed to contact anyone to let them know my whereabouts, or even to say hello. He was such a hard ass for the entire two years.” sighing Naruto shook his head. then continued. “ But enough about that, I can fill you in on the details after we arrive at the house.”
“And your home would be where Naruto?” inquired Gara.
“Oh jeese I forgot!!" Naruto cried. Then sighing, Naruto once again shook his head. 'Christ I’m an idiot sometimes.' He thought. Then continuing he said. " I live on the Anbu’s Training Facility and Headquarters. Although I should probably notify Ibiki and the others that we’re coming first, otherwise they might attack you or something.”
Hearing this Sakura decided to speak up. “Naruto we already discussed it with Ibiki, because we knew that that was where you would want to talk with him. Ibiki said that he would be honoured to have The Kazakage of the Sand village come to headquarters.”
Turning Naruto did a double take. “REALLY? Sakura that is really good news! Looks like we wont need to wait after all.” Laughing Naruto continued. “Sakura. Sauske. I’m gonna head there before the rest of you. You know to notify the others of our important guest. Please bring him there as soon as possible though, I have much to tell him.” Naruto said just as they neared the entrance gate to Konoha.
Then turning Naruto rushed towards the gate and suddenly vanished like the wind.
Startled Gara looked around confused.
“Where did he go???” He asked a little shaken. It was unusual for anyone to be able to just disappear.
Sakura and Sauske shared knowing looks and then told Gara about Naruto’s new method of travel.
“Wow I wondered how much he improved but I never dreamed he would learn a jutsu like that.” Gara said as they stepped outside the gates of Konoha. Then the three began to sprint towards the neighbouring forest. Once under the cover of the trees, the three of them began to make their way towards the Uzumaki Estate.
While running and leaping off branches Sauske continued the conversation Gara had started. “Oh I know exactly how you feel. The thing I want to know is, how to do it. If I could attain that type of speed then no one would be able to touch me. I would become one of Konoha’s greatest assets when it came to disposal, and hunting.” Sauske said as he jumped over a branch and landed on another.
Hearing this Sakura burst into laughter. “Don’t flatter yourself Sauske. Even then you still wouldn’t be able to keep up with Naruto, Not even your sharingan could keep up with him when he struck Sai and me in the chest the other day.” Sakura reminded him.
“Huh?? Ok you lost me with that. What do you mean??" Gara questioned as he followed the others as they raced towards the Uzumaki Estate.
“Oh right sorry Gara you weren’t there yesterday when Naruto gave us the biggest beat down of our Anbu careers.” Sakura explained as a way of apologising.
Then she told Gara a quick recap of the previous days events while they headed for the Uzumaki estate By the time they reached the Estate Gara was doubled over laughing.
“Jeese he really has come a long way. These last two years really changed him a lot huh?” Gara laughed as they stepped into the Estates Entrance.
“You could say that Gara.” Sakura said as she turned to look at her friends. Then turning around again Sakura almost fell over. With their arrival came cheers and greetings from all of Konoha’s Anbu corpse. There was cheering and handshakes as all of the Anbu of the hidden leaf crowded around Gara. Sakura, and Sauske even had to put on their masks to show him to Naruto’s room. As they began to near Naruto’s room after the long introduction from Ibiki, they heard a pair of voices shouting at each other from within.
“Shit I didn’t mean to call you out Salamander, I was just trying to re-sheath the blade, while at the same time thinking about what Sin said to me earlier about you.” Naruto cursed as he paced his room anxiously.
“Well that still gives me the right to be here. If you don’t like it we could always fight over it.” Spoke Salamander in a none too happy voice. As Naruto had thought Salamander wasn’t finished with him yet. 'He probably feels ashamed that he lost to me' Naruto thought as he tried once again to get Salamander to leave.
“Salamander I have an important guest and I’m not really sure he would understand your presence here. PLEASE, go back into the blade for now. After he leaves tomorrow, I will fight you without the help of any of the others. How does that sound???” Naruto questioned, hoping to god Salamander would agree.
“Fine! But be warned, I held back this morning” Salamander said then turned into a glowing ball or red light and shot back into the sword.
'Pheew,' thought Naruto as he re-sheathed his sword. 'I’m expect Gara to be here any second now, and I don’t know if I could explain the whole seven ninja spirits thing. Oh well looks like I’ll have to fight Salamander again tomorrow.' sighing Naruto walked towards his chest and was about to place the Elemental Blade within it. Just as Naruto was opening the chest he heard voices outside his door.
“NARUTO!!! Let us in right NOW!!!!” bellowed Sakura as she banged on his door. Then as an afterthought she called out. “Gara’s here with us.” Naruto walked towards the door still holding his sword in hand and opened it for his guests.
“Gara welcome! How do you like the place??” Naruto asked. But sensing the mood the smile he had on quickly disappeared.
“Naruto?” Sauske asked.
“Yes Sauske?” Naruto replied.
“We heard two voices in here a moment ago, would you mind explaining that to us. Gara was pretty freaked out.” Sauske continued as he started to look around and check for another person.
“WHAT?!!!!! You HEARD!!!!! “ “God Damnit, I’m gonna wring Salamander's neck when I see him tomorrow.” Naruto shouted as he sank onto his bed.
“Who’s Salamander?” asked Sakura as she too walked around looking for this unknown person.
“Nobody!" Naruto shouted, then getting better control over himself he continued. " Look all I can say right now is The Uzumaki line has some really interesting skeletons in it's closet.” Then as Naruto said this he slapped his palm into his temple. "I’m an idiot! Gara I forgot, you don’t know yet. I managed to completely seal the Nine Tailed Kyubi right before we returned to Konoha. It was a long and gruelling fight but I beat the crap out of that stupid fox.”
Startled Gara looked at Naruto for signs of change. Finding none he spoke up. “Really. That’s good news Naruto, but doesn’t that mean that you lose the extra power that came from it??” "It was after all that power that allowed you to beat me when we first met." chuckling Gara remembered that faithful day. Naruto had risked his life to get Sakura away from him. He even showed powers that he had never shown to anyone before.
Shaking his head Naruto replied. “Nope. For five years, ever since the time we first met and I started to release the Kyubi’s power, I had a suspicion that my chakra was stronger than the Kyubi’s. Jiraiya confirmed it for me when I injured Sakura, that was about a month or so after we rescued you from those Akatsuki bastards. You see the Kyubi’s chakra is poisonous by nature, yet my body’s chakra had the ability to counter-act and purify that poison, So all the Kyubi’s chakra did was heal the wounds it inflicted and strengthen my own chakra. I beat the Kyubi by transferring all but the tiniest bit of my chakra into it. The second my chakra intermingled with its, it began to purify and change his chakra into my own. Now it sleeps forever inside me, as an extra container for chakra. It is a massive supply, and this chakra isn’t deadly in the least.”
“Well that’s good, but you still haven’t answered Sauske's question Naruto. WHO was it that you were talking to before we entered the room?” Gara questioned as he too looked around uneasily.
“Gara I really don't want to talk about it. Can we please drop it for now. I have other things that I still need to tell you. Like the fact that I now know who my father was.” Naruto said as he stood up and began to pace.
“WHAT really? Naruto you figured out who your father was??” Gara shouted the question. He knew that Naruto had never known who his father was, they had discussed it after they had become friends.
Nodding Naruto continued. “Yes, though it might come as a shock. My father was the Fourth Hokage, Arashi Uzumaki.”
“What?” Gara spoke the question as both a question and as a statement. 'Naruto...so you too had a father in the highest position in the ninja village.' He thought as he continued to stare at Naruto while he paced.
“I am the Fourth Hokage’s son, he sealed that cursed fox into my chest right after I was born. My mother died while giving birth to me, and no one will tell me her name. I have a picture, but it makes me sad to look at it, so I keep it in the box with the rest of my inheritance. We are currently on my families estate.” Naruto continued.
“Wow That is surprising. To think that all this time you never knew who they were. Naruto your father was indeed a great man. And you…well you haven’t really changed.” Gara responded evenly.
“WHAT!??!!” Naruto shouted.
Trying to hold in his laughter but failing, Gara burst out laughing. Naruto a little ticked by that last remark stood there for a moment before he relaxed and began to laugh as well. After the laughter had subsided Naruto and Gara took turns taking about their experiences over the last two years.
“AHEM! Sorry to stop you mid story Naruto but, I really would like to know WHO you were talking to earlier. And NO I will not stop asking until I get an answer.” Sauske cut in just as Naruto was telling Gara about how he had mastered the resengan even further. Then retrieving a chair from the table in Naruto's room, Sauske sat and waited for Naruto’s response.
“Jeese. Fine already, though I hope you know that this may freak you guys out a little just like it did to me.” Naruto said. Then walking to the center of the room Naruto unsheathed his sword. "Well you guys want to meet Salamander right. Hell I might as well let you meet all of them if your gonna be so persistent about this." And so while the others watched, Naruto slashed the air shouting “The Seven!”
Knowing full well what to expect he stood firmly as six blinding flashes of light went off, and after each subsided, a weird ninja stood in their place. The final was different from the others and as the familiar hole in the ground began to grow, a small black shadow leapt straight in the air. Then the hole disappeared and in its place stood a man.
“Seven Spirits! I have brought you forth now so that we may all show our respect to the new Kazakage of the Hidden Sand...who is a close personal friend of mine. Say hello to Gara.” Naruto spoke loudly in order to drown out any complaints that the ninja's might have.
“Ah I see, so that is why you sent me away before. You did not wish for me to be here alone when he arrived. I will over look it then and we will not have to fight tomorrow, however if you want to we could, I do love a good fight. Kazakage Gara, my name is Salamander.” spoke the ninja clad in blood red armour. Then he bowed his head in respect to a wide eyed Gara. Sakura and Sauske were also knocked speechless at the sight of the seven, who one by one introduced themselves to Gara and in turn bowed their heads in respect.
“Thank you Seven you may return to the sword now, tomorrow I will still fight with you Salamander, and also after the fight if it isn’t too much trouble I will be calling Shimmer, Rock, Silence, and Electo out to chat with.” Naruto said.
“Not at all Young Uzumaki.” Spoke a deep booming voice that seemed to fill the room. "I will be glad to come out tomorrow to chat with you.”
“As will I," spoke the blurred ninja.
“I too," spoke Rock, who out of the seven seemed to be the most regular.
Shimmer just smiled an nodded her head blushing a little.
“Alright then until tomorrow.” Naruto said. And with that the seven each diapered in a blinding flash of light, All but Sin, who as usual sank back into his shadows. Now with the room empty except for its four original guests, Sakura was finally able to find her voice.
“N..Na…Naruto wh…what was that???” Sakura whispered.
“"They" were the Seven Ninja Spirits of Konoha, and they have been entrusted to the Uzumaki line for hundreds of years. I met them all yesterday night, and was knocked for a loop probably worse than you guys were, cause I gave you some warning about what you were about to see.” Naruto replied.
“But What exactly are they??” Sauske questioned.
“Spirit summons, that have been around for millions of years, Sin, the one who looked like a living shadow told me all about them today at the ramen shop. He really loves ramen just like me.” Naruto responded.
After he said this he knew what to expect. And its exactly what came. Sauske and Sakura began to ask question after question about the seven and Naruto’s meeting with them. And so Naruto found himself explaining the seven to the three friends who sat wide eyed listening to his tale. By the time he was finished all three looked a little rattled. Naruto even commented on it. "What’s the matter guys? Cat got your tongue! All you guys look a little shaken maybe I should cool you off with a water jutsu."
'Who wouldn’t be,' thought Sakura. 'He pretty much told us that the seven figures we met just now were god. And what’s more is the fact that Naruto seems to have some control over them.' "Then answering Sakura almost screamed. "NARUTO DON'T YOU DARE!!!" Laughing Naruto just sat down on his bed and let them grasp the reality of the situation and the things they just saw.
Left to ponder this idea The three sat in silence for a few minutes. Finally Naruto spoke. “Guys you can’t tell anyone else about the seven. Not even Jiraiya or Tsunade knows about them. I’ll tell you one thing though, earlier today while eating ramen with Sin I learned a great deal of things, First the chakra and elemental jutsus we use tap into, are the lingering effects they had on us as creatures created by Rock, and second and probably most shocking of all, I have some command over them." “So not a single word is breathed about what you just witnessed here. The seven are useful and will never allow Konoha to come to harm as long as they are commanded by an Uzumaki. But I don’t have complete control over them. Its like how it was with the Kyubi. They can kill me just as easily as help me. So please just keep this a secret from everyone.”
Turning Sauske nodded his head. “Ok Naruto we wont breath a word of this t anyone. Will we Sakura?”
“Who would believe us even if we told them” Sakura asked. Then sighing she said. “Still I agree, I won’t tell anyone either.”
“Gara?” Naruto questioned.
“I too shall keep it a secret." Gara replied. Then continued. " Naruto more and more you amaze me. I’m glad that Konoha and The Sand are allies. It would un-nerve even me to have an opponent such as yourself.”
“Thanks Gara.” “Oh by the way were you discussing the situation with the village shrouded in Shadow, with Tsunade today??” Naruto asked.
“Yes as a matter of fact I was. But is it wise to talk about it wit these two present?” Gara questioned looking directly as Sakura and Sauske.
“Well they are my greatest friends, so I think they deserve to know if I do.” Naruto replied.
Sighing Gara saw that there was no changing Naruto's mind on this matter so instead he said. “Very well.” And with that Gara briefed them on the situation with the Shadakage and his newly formed ninja village.
&# 8220;Why don’t we head to my house where we can have a private chat. I have much to tell you.” Naruto spoke as he, and the others made there way to the gates that lead outside of Konoha.
“Naruto-san it is good to see you again. We all started to worry that maybe you had been killed, no one had heard for you for two years.” replied Gara as they continued to walk.
