“My- My what” Naruto asked incredulously

“Look It's hard to explain but I can prove it, and tell you how we got here” Arashi replied still speaking in Japanese

“You know I speak English” Naruto asked, raising his gun to bear on Arashi

“I have this for one” Arashi stated before lifting a small necklace from under his shirt. Naruto stared in disbelief when he realized it was the same necklace that hung around his neck, given to him by Tsunade. “For two I have your journal here” Arashi took a small leather bound book from his pocket and showed it to naruto before flipping through it absentmindedly.

“Jiraya really turned you into a pervert worthy of great respect you know that” Arashi asked offhandedly “You even invented a jutsu that allowed you to see through clothing. I bet Hinata never knew that huh”

Naruto cocked his gun before speaking in an angry tone “Who are you”

“I told you, I am your great grandson and if you still don't believe me. Could anyone other than a descendant of yours do THIS” Arashi finished his bold statement by creating a Rasengan in his right hand

“and suppose I were to believe you, how are you're here and to what ends.” Naruto asked as he let the hammer on his gun drop.

“See Strange over here, he is like the Magi from the elemental nations” Arashi began, dispelling the rasengan as he did so and slipping back into English. “ And when he used a teleportation spell it screwed up and sent us through time. We still don't know why though. But this actually works to my benefit as well, you see in your journal you detail seals to their fullest but never once did you write how to make sealing ink. The stockpile you created for your descendants has just recently run out and I need to know how to make more.”

“ A Magi you say” Naruto muttered in a distracted tone “ Can you re-animate the dead”

“The body yes, but it is impossible to re attach the soul that was once tied to it.” Strange replied

“Kuso” Naruto swore “that would have helped me immensely”

“They didn't go to Mephisto's realm” Arashi told Naruto “They reside with Kami”

Naruto sighed and gestured to Hawkeye and Mockingbird “and those two, what do they do”

“She is warrior comparable to a high anbu , and he a master archer” Arashi replied

“There is nothing special about the ink” Naruto told Arashi “You just have to instill it with your chakra so that it can be manipulated by the seal. We used tree sap mixed with dyes and water back in Konoha.”

“We need a place to lay up for a while” Arashi said softly

“Why” Naruto demanded

“Mockingbird killed the newest incarnation of Ghost Rider a few days ago on the border of Indian territory “ Strange answered “I can return us to our proper time but I must make it to a place now called The Devil's Tower.”

“And we need you to distract Ghost Rider's forces long enough for us to get away” Arashi finished

“So let me get this straight, YOU, want ME to kill Yank's for no other reason than because” Naruto asked incredulously “Bitchin, what way”

“They should be here in little less than four hours actually” Hawkeye told Naruto

“And I said distract not kill” Strange put in

“Then you shouldn't have come to me” Naruto replied pointedly

Arashi chuckled lightly at the conversation, already anticipating Naruto's curt reply. He then held up his copy of Naruto's journal and tapped it lightly “We must go Fire Warrior, I'll see you in a hundred and twenty some odd years. Thank you for the sealing ink.” Arashi bowed slightly and walked southwest, followed slowly by the rest of his group.

Naruto blinked a few seconds later after the group had left and asked himself if that had actually happened. Naruto glanced at the still sleeping form of the girl he had rescued, glad that he had placed the sleeping jutsu on her earlier. He didn't want her to get in the way of his fight again. Naruto stared into the fire trying to draw up a battle plan in his head for the coming fight, he smiled evily as a devious idea entered his head. “We will have vengeance Jess” Naruto whispered with a contented sigh

Three hours later

Naruto was rather proud of the work he and his clones had just finished, the large circle of dirt roughly half a mile in diameter was perfect. He had taken great care to select both an area on the now visible troops path, and one that was full of very dead and very dry grass. The strip of dirt was itself less than ten feet wide but it was filled with lots of grass, very dry, very…combustible grass. Naruto manipulated the air around him forcing him up and off the ground holding him at a height of about fifty feet. He then drew a lot of air together to make it dense enough to support his body weight, sitting quiet comfortably on his perch he waited for the troops to enter the circle.

When they were fully in the circle naruto counted almost two hundred of them and grinned demonically. “Oh yessss, we ssshall have our revenge” Naruto whispered to himself before surrounding the troops in hellfire, laughing like a child in a candy store as their screams of pain wafted up to him.

Naruto descended back to the ground and walked among the still steaming corpses. He noticed one was still alive and promptly stabbed the man through the forehead with his ninjato. “This was for Zee, and Jess's kids.” Naruto muttered to himself trying to rationalize what he had just done. On the way back to his camp Naruto dropped to his knees, eyes wide as what he did finally sunk in. “What have I done” He asked in disbelief “I've become no better than them”

Naruto looked up at the stars, defeat mirrored in his eyes. “I need your guidance Jess. Tell me what I need to do old friend.” Naruto waited for what seemed an eternity, hoping, praying for some sort of answer. Naruto was broken out of his reverie by a sharp whistle, his head shot up along with his gun in the direction the noise had come from.

“Shit ya old dog I try to drop in on an old friend and I get a gun for my trouble” an unknown voice chuckled from the darkness.

“Billy…that you” Naruto asked questioningly

“The Regulators stand with ya” The voice replied “We brought some friends to”

Naruto got up in disbelief, hoping it was true. The light given by the stars and the moon was just enough to make out the face of the man speaking. He was overjoyed to see that stupid lopsided top hat and those unruly brown locks. “Billy it is you, you old coyote”

“Heard you was gatherin an army, figured you might need some help. Turns out King Fisher and Doc Holiday feel bout the same as we do. So Fisher started to get to talkin with his Mexican buddies, and holiday went to Buffalo Bill. We're just the advance group, you got outlaws from every state headed your way, even heard Butch Cassidy was bringin the wild bunch. So I figured your old pal Billy the Kid could dome and help ya out. Seein as how you helped me down in Lincoln county it's the least I can do.”

“Thank ya Henry, ya don't know how much this means to me.” Naruto replied softly

“How many times do I gotta tell you to call me Billy like everyone else, sides them Yanks killed Pa. I got my own interests at heart to.” Billy replied

“You brought all of the Regulators” Naruto asked skeptically

“Hear that boys, our old friend don't believe us” Billy called behind him

The roar of fourty some odd voices screaming in acceptance greeted Naruto's ears.

“Oh and did I mention we kinda sent word to all the remaining rebel forces too” Billy asked with a grin

“The Yanks won't know what hit em” Naruto told the men “come one I'll show you back to my camp we can rest up and make it back to the People in the morning”

XxX

The next morning

XxX

“So how did you find me” Naruto asked Billy

“All we knew was to head north and find the Black Hills, meet up with the injuns and kill some Yanks. Findin you was just a bonus.” Billy replied with a grin “So whats with the squaw”

“It's complicated” Naruto replied curtly. Said female ignored everything around her, simply staring into space with a dazed expression.

“Come on Bill we better head out now if we wanna reach the Chiefs by nightfall” Naruto sighed out before helping the girl onto Sendo and then mounting the horse himself.

“So have you two…you know….” Billy asked

“No” Naruto told him with a glare “now quit with the questions”

XxX

That evening

XxX

“Fire Warrior who are these you have brought with you” A Comanche scout asked Naruto, stepping out from behind a tree with an arrow strung on his bow.

“These are friends, they have come to help us fight” Naruto replied calmly “If you would tell Porcupine Bear and the other we are here I will explain the whole situation”

“As you wish Fire Warrior, but I will have to place a guard to make sure they don't try anything stupid” the scout replied

“Of course” Naruto told the scout, turning to Billy he said “keep your men in line, I won't be held responsible if they scalp one of yours for something they did.”

Billy gave a nod of acceptance and relayed the news to his outlaw band. A short while later the various Shaman and Chiefs of the people walked out of the forest in front of Naruto.

“Greetings Fire Warrior” Fog Water called

“And to you my friends” Naruto replied, dismounting from his horse.

“Who are these” Big Tree asked distrustfully

“They are friends” Naruto told the chiefs “I helped them and now they are here to help the people. And they also took the liberty of relaying the word that we were building an army. Turns out there are still a lot of people who don't like the Yanks”

The Shamans began to whisper among themselves frantically while the Chiefs exchanged glances. Finally an agreement was made between the Shamans and the Chiefs. “They must remain outside of the circle” Fire Dancer began “And if they breach the circle or try and harm one of the people they will be killed” Walks With Bears finished

Naruto replayed the news to Billy who agreed to the terms saying “I don't mind them injuns but it might be better if we stayed separate. Mosta everyone else comin won't think the same”

“I agree” Naruto replied

Later that day, at the lodge from ch. 3

XxX

“Wait, wait, wait Frank back up. A secret society of slave owners, You've GOT to be kidding me” Naruto asked the man

“Fraid not old friend, Cochise's scouts have already picked off two or three men bearing their symbol” Frank replied somberly. Naruto looked to Cochise who merely nodded agreement

“What's their symbol” Naruto asked with a sigh

“ A Golden circle with a calvary sabre goin through it” Frank replied somberly (A/N : just a quick side note I made up their “main” symbol since the KGC had or still has(?) over three hundred symbols derived from Indian lore, Spanish culture, Masonic teachings, and Templar signs. I kinda gave up the search for finding a defining symbol like the Templar Cross for the KGC, I know their sign of greeting is tapping ones left pectoral with the right fist but that's about as far as my understanding of KGC “signs” or “symbols” goes.)

“And you say their gonna be better armed and trained that Yank troops” Naruto asked again, receiving a nod from Frank. “How?”

Frank sighed before answering “One of the original creators, even from before when I joined found a Templar cache that had a heck of a lot of money in it. Usin that they bought top of the line weapons and started a tradin conglomerate to keep their fundin, they have virtually limitless funds and employ a lot of gunslingers. They probally are already slippin troops into the groups comin this way, seekin to kll us from within and whatnot”

“Damn” Naruto muttered “So how are we gonna know which of the folk comin are on our side or on theirs”

Frank shrugged “If they start shootin us then we know”

Frustrated Naruto sought to tackle another problem. “Fog Water have you and the Shamans figured out what to do with that girl I brought back”

“We sent her to stay with Laughing Stream, another blessed one from Dragging Canoe's band, we are hoping she can help teach the girl to actually function; and maybe help us fight” Fog Water Replied

“The effects of Black Wolf's…treatment…are hard to determine” Eagle Eye put in

“Aye, we are not sure if she will ever “break out” of her slave mentality” Earth Shaker finished

“And if not” Naruto dared to ask

“The only person she identifies with anymore is you Fire Warrior. If Laughing Stream cannot help her we believe that you would be the best person to care for her” Fire Dancer said calmly

Naruto mentally face palmed at the thought until his inner perv kicked in. “Totally willing… no bad exploiting people bad, especially someone who has been through enough pain.” Naruto thought

“We need to make plans for defense” Porcupine bear interjected

“Agreed” the other Chiefs said simultaneously

“Ok so what do we have to work with” Naruto began “So far how many Braves and Blessed One's are prepared to fight”

“A thousand of my Braves have pledged service” Manuelito stated “We have sent runners to the other known tribes and bands of the west seeking aid as well Fire Warrior” (A/N : little side note here I couldn't find the names of any Navajo warrior societies and I was wondering if any of my readers my know their names or if they even had warrior societies at all just trying to keep historical accuracy concerning Native American life)

“All of my Dog soldiers have pledged their service Fire Warrior, My Wolves, Elks, Red Shields, and Kit-Fox men have pledged service as well. Wolves and Kit Fox's were sent out to the southern plains to recruit any existing Tribes or Bands” Porcupine bear stated

“My Tiah-pah warriors, Ohoma warriors, Black Legging warriors, and Gourd Clan warriors have also pledged to fight, they are to be led by the Koitsenko (Kiowa for Dog Warrior, a group formed of the ten greatest warriors from all Kiowa bands and warrior societies, as with most Native American tribes no important political decisions were mande without consulting the Koitsenko's opinion first)” Big Tree Told the group “We have sent scouts to search the western plains for any remaining Tribes and Bands”

“Seven hundred Apache Braves have pledged to fight. We have sent scout parties to the plains to seek any tribes and bands still living” Cochise told Naruto (Again couldn't figure out if the apache had warrior clans/societies)

“My Wolves, Red Hawks, and Deer Warriors have all sworn to fight, we have sent scouts to the Northern Forests to seek any living Tribes or Bands” Dragging Canoe Told to group (There were four other Cherokee clans the Long Hair clan, Wild Potato clan, Red Paint clan, and the Blue Holly clan. These clans however were not warriors and as such are not included with the other warrior clans.)

“I have Five hundred Cheyenne Braves ready to fight Fire Warrior. We have sent scouts to the northern plains in search of all Tribes and Bands willing to join our cause.” Buffalo Hump stated

“the First scouts to come back I want them rested and then sent to the Southern Forests.” Naruto commanded “Can we make it over the Big Mountains in time to seek aid from the tribes to the west”

“It would be a difficult task to make it that far in so little time Fire Warrior” Big Tree told him

“That is assuming any of the tribes over the mountains still exist” Dragging Canoe added skeptically

“Ok well how many Blessed One's do we have willing to fight” Naruto asked the Shamans

“Twelve” Wind Walker told Naruto

“ So Basically we have twelve people who can use jutsu, another twelve who have abilities I can't even begin to guess at, and eight thousand Braves. I'm guessing we could have anywhere from a thousand to fifteen thousand outlaws and ex confederate troops” Naruto mused silently

“Do we know how many Yank's we're up against” Frank asked

“the last count by my scouts put them at well over a hundred thousand” Cochise told Frank, this number was agreed upon by the other chiefs as well.

“Man to man how many Yank's could one Brave take out” Naruto asked

“Over the course of six months a good three hundred” Cochise told him “fifty three of my braves held off a force of five thousand last year while the rest of our tribe escaped. I'm guessing the other Tribes have the same level of skill .”

Again the chiefs nodded in agreement at this fact.

“But that's also assuming that they come at us with only troops and mounted Calvary.” Naruto said “They got a hard on for this fight and will throw everything they have at us, Ghost Rider and any other Blessed One's they can find included. And also assuming that the Golden Circle doesn't attack us from within”

Naruto noticed the Shamans whispering among themselves and wondered what they were talking about. “Fire Warrior we might have a solution to our problem” Fog Water finally said

“Inyan Kara” Eagle Eyes said reverently

“What is Inyan Kara” Frank asked incredulously

“The holy mountain” Walks With Bears said “Long ago Sweet Medicine sought it out to talk with Old Man. He Told Sweet Medicine how to help our people. Perhaps he can help us again”

“We Think he might show us a way into the Sacred Caverns” Wind Walker told the group

“What are the Sacred Caverns” Naruto asked in a questioning tone

“Long ago The People were thriving and we spread from sunrise to sunset” Fire Dancer Began

“The People became corrupt and evil in the eyes of Old Man” Earth Shaker continued

“So he sent a great flood onto all the lands, saving only a few of each tribe who had not turned away from him” Eagle Eyes continued

“He showed them into the Sacred Caverns deep underground, closing the opening after they had entered” Walks With Bears continued

“They lived in the Caverns for many years, until a new generation of The People were raised to follow and love Old Man. He then opened the Caverns for The People to return to the lands that he had given them.” Fog Water finished

“A story is told among the Apache of a great warrior named Tohausen (old chief lone wolf) rose amoung the ranks of the Koitsenko. Before he died he had one dream, to visit Inyan Kara and find the entrance to the Sacred Caverns” Cochise told the group “He went on his journey with two others of the Koitsenko, his Brother, and his Son. Tohausen never returned from his journey, but his Brother and his Son returned bearing his war spear and his scalping knife. They told of a fantasic journey to Inyan Kara, of meeting with Old Man and seeing the entrance protected by Old Man's animal spirits.” Cochise told the group “We only thought it to be legend, but at this point even legend might help us”

“Then we know where we must go” Naruto told the group “to Inyan Kara, and to The People's deliverance”
