Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be seeing the aftermath of Naruto's fight with Kurama and the Master-Servant Pact between him and Miso, along with the reactions of his reappearance. So, without further ado.

I own nothing

"Look at the little freak."

"I can't believe the Hokage is allowing that thing, to stay in the village."

"It should have died, years ago."

"Don't go near that boy, he's nothing, but a monster."

"HA! Look at the loser, he can't even make a clone!"

"No wonder he doesn't have any friends!"

"That's why his parents abandoned him!"

"Loser!"

"Deadlast!"

"Freak!"

"Monster!"

"Abomination!"

"Demon!"

"You were nothing, but a weapon."

"A tool for them to use."

"They never cared about you, it's why they left."

"They wanted you to suffer, to be hated."

"But I can make all your pain disappear."

"Break the seal, and your pain will be gone, forever."

"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Miso shot up screaming, with her hands moving up and down her body, searching for any wounds.

When she didn't find any, Miso released a shuddered breath, before curling up into a ball, with tears falling from her eyes, at what she just saw.

'It was just a dream, it was just a dream, it was just a dream.' Miso thought, while looking around, seeing that she was in her room, in the Senju-Uzumaki Compound, where her family had moved in, after arriving back in Konoha.

Though Miso froze, when she looked at her left hand, and saw three interconnected spirals, forming a triskelion, on the back of her hand. The symbol that formed, when the Master-Servant Pact was formed, between her and Naruto. Miso, not knowing they were actually called Command Seals, since Naruto made sure to omit that part, when he told her, what they were.

'Th-then, everything I just saw…they weren't dreams…th-th-tho-those were…Naruto's m-memories.' Miso thought, horrified, as more tears trailed down her face, realizing that what happened between Naruto and the Kyūbi, it really happened.

And what she just saw, that was what Naruto had gone through, in Konoha. The hatred, the glares, the whispers, the pain, the loneliness, she felt all of it. Not just the emotional pain, either. But the physical pain, from the attacks Naruto had to endure, both from the villagers and bullies, that beat him up. But the worse pain, though, had to be feeling the Kyūbi ripping her apart.

'And he had to go through all of that, alone, with no one to help him. While I grew up with a loving family, actually believing that things would be alright, when we came back!' Thought Miso, not believing she could actually be so stupid, as to think Naruto would have ever accepted them, after what he went through.

Though, she supposed that is obvious, after what happened, when they got back to the village.

*Flashback*

Naruto walked beside Miso, back to Konoha, with an annoyed expression on his face. His annoyance, being due to his sister unknowing creating a Master-Servant Pact between them, meaning he was now stuck with her, until that pact can be broken.

'The only good thing, is that my power will return quicker, now. The sooner it's back, and I find the others, I can focus on breaking the pact, so I can leave this cesspool.' Thought Naruto, his annoyance only growing, when he saw Minato, Kushina, Tsunade, Shizune, and Jiraiya, running towards them.

Though, Naruto did feel some amusement, when they all started shouting, either worrying over Miso running off, demanding what she was thinking, or other unintelligible shouts, he couldn't make out. All while Miso tried explaining what had happened, but no one gave her a chance to speak. All while, Naruto stood off to the side, finding amusement in their squabbling. Even with his currently unfavorable situation, he still found it funny, how they were acting.

'And these are supposed to be some of the strongest Ninja, in the world? They're acting more like children, trying to act grown up.' Naruto thought, while shaking his head, having met actual children, who were more mature than these people.

"EVERYONE, SHUT UP!" Tsunade and Iruka shouted, finally getting tired of everyone's shouting, and trying to bring back some order, to the chaos around them.

Thankfully, this silenced everyone, as they took a moment to calm down, and think rationally. Though, this also resulted in everyone looking at Naruto, who now had a bored expression on his face.

"Naruto, where have you been? Why do you look like that?" Kushina asked, torn between feeling joy at her son being back, worry of where he's been, and confusion as to why he looks the way he does.

"How did you become this stronger, and what happened to you? How did you even survive, wherever you were?" Asked Minato.

"What was the portal, you came through?" Miso said.

Naruto looked at them with a raised brow, not believing they actually thought they had the right to ask him, about his life. As far as he's concerned, they didn't deserve a damn thing from him, unless it's him beating them into the ground, as payback.

Rather than respond, Naruto turned his back on them, and prepared to go find a quiet place to stay, until his power is restored. Wanting to keep his interactions with anyone from Konoha, to a bare minimum, until he can leave.

Unfortunately, his abysmal luck was showing, when he was stopped by a mob of villagers, blocking his path. The mob all glaring at him hatefully, with a Ninja, that Naruto recognized as one of his tormentors, during his childhood.

"This is your fault, demon! Yours, and that damn fox's, for destroying our home, and the forest left by the Shodaime! Because of you, we're now vulnerable to enemies!" Shouted the Ninja, wanting to pin the blame on Naruto, with the mob shouting in agreement, as they glared at Naruto, holding makeshift weapons.

Naruto glanced around the village, seeing the destruction up close caused by his fight with Kurama, seeing a good portion. Turning his head, the Demi-Servant also saw the wasteland, now surrounding Konoha, which used to be a beautiful forest.

'Huh, shame about the forest.' Naruto thought, not really caring about the destruction caused to the village, along with knowing technically, the fools were right, since he didn't really care about the collateral damage from his fight, only that he took down Kurama.

That didn't mean he was going to let these people walk over him, like they did, when he was a kid.

"Maybe. But, of course, if it wasn't for me, you'd all be dead, and this village would be nothing, but a crater. Given, how none of you stood a chance against Kurama. If you wanted, I could have also just stood aside, and watched the fox kill you all, and then fight it, it would have saved me, a lot of trouble. But I didn't, since I had a score to settle with the fox, saving your ungrateful asses." Said Naruto, many of them being forced to agree to this, after seeing how easily the Kyūbi destroyed Kushina's Chakra Chains, along with being immune to Genjutsu and Mokuton.

Meaning, if it wasn't for Naruto showing up, when he did, then they would all have died.

Unfortunately, the mob leader, blinded by rage and hate, snarled, and rushed towards Naruto with a kunai intent to kill him, believing he was weakened from his fight the Kyūbi, and could now be killed. And while the Ninja was right about Naruto being weakened, he still vastly outmatched the humans, here.

This was proven true, as the moment the man got close enough, Naruto grabbed one of his swords, and slashed off the man's arms and legs. Before launching a few precise slashes to his spine, paralyzing him from the neck down. Even if they were able to reattach his limbs, the Ninja would never be able to walk, again.

"M-my arms, m-my legs, my body! WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME, YOU DAMN DEMON!" The Ninja said, as he began having a panic attack at being rendered crippled, like that.

Everyone then looked back at Naruto, who smirked darkly as his mask formed around his face, the lenses glowing ominously. Pleased at seeing the sniveling and screaming mess, that his former attacker was reduced to, upon crippling him. That he ripped the arrogant bastard, of the false illusion of power and superiority, he held.

"You should have stuck to abusing children, that can't fight back, or defend themselves. Given, how that seems to be all you were good for. Now, let that be a warning. Even in my weakened state, I still only need to use a fraction of my strength, to kill you fools. And don't forget, I have another score settle with Konoha, for what happened to me, here." Said Naruto, with everyone's horror only growing further, especially those who had tormented and attacked Naruto, as a child.

"But, by all means, pray to your god for mercy. But spoiler, I won't be listening, and I'm fresh out of mercy." Naruto said, before entering his spirit form, allowing them to bask in their fear, and wonder what will happen next.

*End Flashback*

That had been three days ago, and no one has seen any sign of Naruto, at all. Which only made the villagers more terrified, and paranoid, that he was planning something.

Miso was just thankful, that her little sister, Shio, had been left at the compound, the day they intended to seal away the Kyūbi, permanently. Shio having been just as excited, if not more so, than Miso was, to finally meet Naruto, none of them sure how they were supposed to tell her Naruto was gone.

Only for him to literally fall out of the sky, and hate Konoha, along with their family.

'What am I supposed to do?' Miso thought, wanting to try and earn Naruto's forgiveness, but didn't know where she was supposed to start, or even how she was supposed to contact him, when she didn't know where he was, to begin with.

Though looking at the Seals on her hand, Miso remembered that Naruto said, that they bonded them, together.

'Maybe I could try calling him.' Thought Miso, while gazing at the Seals.

"Uh, Naruto." Miso said, while looking around, to see if he'd suddenly appear.

After a moment of silence, Miso sighed in disappointment, believing it either didn't work, or Naruto was ignoring her. Only for her head to snap up, when Naruto materialized in her room, along with going pale, and gulped, when she saw him carrying several corpses, by their collars, and having an unconscious Anbu, over his shoulder.

These being ROOT Anbu, Naruto saw sneaking into the compound, likely in an attempt to capture him and/or Miso, given their connection, now. Unfortunately for them, Naruto found and killed them all, except for one he intends to interrogate, and then kill. Which was interrupted when he heard Miso summon him.

"What do you want?" Naruto asked in a cold and neutral tone, with Miso flinching slightly, at it.

Though despite Naruto's initial attitude, he didn't actually hate Miso, like he did his former parents and everyone else, though that didn't mean he liked her, either. At most, Naruto was simply neutral to Miso, knowing she wasn't at fault for him being abandoned, given they were both just babies, when it happened. And he knew, if things had just been slightly different, their lives could have easily been reversed. Or perhaps, he just got lucky, with what happened to him, and Miso would have truly died, at Kurama's hands.

So, Naruto didn't hate her, but that didn't mean, he'd go out of his way to be nice, either.

"I…" Miso said, not really sure what she was supposed to say to her brother, now that he was actually in front of her.

Seeing her fidgeting, Naruto scoffed quietly, now annoyed that his time was being wasted.

"If you don't have anything to say, then do yourself a favor, and get dressed, to talk to your parents." Said Naruto, turning to leave, and interrogate the Anbu.

"They're your parents, too. We're still a family, Naruto." Miso said, wanting to try, and mend the rift between them.

Only to freeze, when Naruto turned his head, and glared at her with glowing slitted eyes, while releasing a fraction of his KI. The Demi-Servant was angered, that she would dare say, that they were his parents, they lost that right, the moment they left him to be hated, and abused.

As far as Naruto's concerned, the only family he had, was the one he had in the Moon Cell.

Without saying anything, Naruto vanished, leaving Miso to look down.

'Way to go Miso.' Thought Miso, knowing she likely, just made things worse.

*With Satsuki*

Meanwhile, within her apartment, Satsuki Uchiha tossed and turned, in her bed.

Normally, Satsuki would have been imprisoned, after she tried defecting and joining Orochimaru, with the only reason she wasn't, being due to Kushina. The Uzumaki woman having spoken in the defense of her friend's daughter and managed to make it so she only had Anbu watching her, to make sure she didn't try defecting, again.

Though, right now, Satsuki would have preferred being locked away, rather than what she was dreaming, right now.

*Satsuki's Dream*

Satsuki walked down the path by the river, her head hung low, with a depressed look on her face.

Understandable, given just a week ago, her entire clan and family had been massacred, by her own brother, Itachi. With the last Uchiha having just been let out of the hospital, after the trauma of what happened, and whatever Genjutsu, Itachi used on her.

Though, Satsuki was only further saddened as the entire time in the hospital, not once had her best friend, Naruto, come to visit her. She had been hoping, he would show up at least once, with the girl just wanting the only person she had left, to be there for her. Instead, he never bothered visiting, as if he didn't care.

Satsuki then looked down by the river, and was surprised, when she saw Naruto sitting there, on the dock.

'Naruto.' Satsuki thought, while wondering what he was doing there,

Despite being upset with him, at not coming to see her, Satsuki also wanted to know what was causing his sudden strange behavior. So, the Uchiha girl walked down to the dock, frowning when Naruto didn't even so much, as glance at her.

"Naruto." Said Satsuki, in an attempt to get his attention, only for Naruto to keep looking at the river.

"Naruto, is something wrong?" Satsuki asked, worried that something happened to her normally happy and hyper friend, to make him so quiet and withdrawn.

"It's none of your business." Muttered Naruto, with Satsuki frowning at his response.

"I just want to see what's wrong, so I could try and help." Said Satsuki, making Naruto glance at her, with narrowed eyes.

"If you want to help, then leave me alone." Naruto said, with Satsuki now starting to get angry.

"Look, if you wanna act like a jerk, then fine! But don't do it to someone, who only wants to help you!" Satsuki shouted, with Naruto standing up and glaring at her.

"I didn't ask for your help! I didn't even ask to be your friend; you came to me! Or was that just a trick, wanting to make fun of the loser orphan, nobody wanted?! I'm sure you had some good times, laughing that I thought someone wanted to be my friend!" Retorted Naruto.

"I did want to be your friend, and I do care about you! But if you're just going to act like this, maybe I shouldn't have talked to you! I was forced to watch my family die; I'm not dealing with your attitude, as well!" Yelled Satsuki, as the two glared at each other.

"If only, I was that lucky!" Naruto said, without thinking, with Satsuki's eyes widening, at what he just said.

Before Naruto could react, Satsuki slammed her fist into his face, knocking him to the ground.

"You're right, who'd want to be friends with an insensitive jerk, like you!" Satsuki shouted, as tears fell down her face, before she turned around, and ran away, crying.

Not seeing the sadness and regret on Naruto's face, as she ran away.

Though suddenly, her surroundings changed around her, and now she was standing in front "Naruto", or rather, the Kyūbi, with the fox smirking at her.

"Ah, now isn't this a surprise? The little Uchiha, and how unsurprising, that you aren't locked in a cage. Isn't that typical, here I am locked in cage, for bringing you back, and there you are. Standing free, as if you didn't try, and go rogue." Kyūbi said, with Satsuki glaring at the creature, wearing her friend's face.

"You deserve much worse, after everything you've done." Said Satsuki, having been angry and horrified, when she learned just how long Naruto's been dead, and that the fox had been wearing his body, like a suit, this entire time.

It made Satsuki, wonder if she had even known the real Naruto, or if it was just the Kyūbi, the entire time.

"And what, pray tell, have I done? Oh right, let's see, I dealt with a traitor in the Academy; helped this shithole village get an alliance, with an even shittier island, full of sheep; saved it from being destroyed by Shukaku; brought back that old bitch, Tsunade, to become Hokage; and I also dragged you back here. How ironic, these humans despise me so much, and yet, I'm only the reason they're all still breathing. And yet, here I am, locked away for being a "loyal" Ninja." Taunted Kyūbi.

"You killed Naruto! That's what you did!" Satsuki shouted, glaring at Kyūbi, who merely continued to smirk.

"And how many times, have these humans tried killing the boy? I lost track of how many times, I had to knit his broken body back together, after the first dozen, or so, beatings. No, they could careless, if the brat is dead. They're just using it as an excuse, to paint me as a villain, simply because, they don't like having something more powerful than them, around." Kyūbi stated, as Satsuki growled in anger at the fox's repeated taunting.

"How long have you been the one in control? Did I ever even know the real Naruto, or was it, just you tricking me?" Demanded Satsuki.

"I've been in control, since the brat was seven-years-old. Right after that little spat you had, in fact." Revealed Kyūbi, with Satsuki's eyes widening at this.

"So, yes, you did know the real brat. You were simply unlucky enough, to get him, after he learned quite the secret. But I should be thanking you, because it was due to the collapse of your friendship with him, that finally pushed him straight to me." Kyūbi said, while grinning wickedly, with Satsuki looking at it in horror.

"Oh you should have seen him, broken and crying, that he didn't have anyone anymore! That the people who were supposed to care about him, just abandoned him! How his grandfather-figure had lied to his face, and manipulated him, his whole life! That he had just destroyed his friendship, with the one person, that actually did care about him! He simply wanted the pain to go away, and I happily obliged." Continued the Bijū, as the Uchiha shook her head, with tears in her eyes.

"And I have to say, I enjoyed manipulating you, the most. Making you even believe that the brat still care about you, and how "sorry" he was. But even I couldn't completely hide my hatred, for your accursed clan." Kyūbi growled.

"You're a monster." Said Satsuki, while stepping back from the cell, and turned away to hide her tears.

She had actually believed that "Naruto" was sorry for what he said, and that he still wanted to be her friend, even after what she said. But Satsuki would always see brief flashes of hatred on his face, when he looked at her, and she couldn't understand it. One minute, it'd be like he was her friend again, then the next, it was if he couldn't stand the sight of her.

But now it made sense, it was never her friend at all, just a monster, wearing his face.

Kyūbi simply threw back its head and laughed at her accusation.

"Me, a monster?! Why don't you take a look in the mirror because the only monster is you! You're the one who did what no one else in Konoha succeeded in doing, not even that bastard, Namikaze! You broke Naruto's spirit! After losing you, he had nothing left, and just wanted it all to end! He's dead, and you're the reason for it! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Laughed Kyūbi, as Satsuki couldn't take it anymore, and took off, running away from the cell.

As Satsuki ran, she suddenly transformed into her normal age, running away as visions of the massacre, the last time she saw Naruto, and the Kyūbi's reveal all flew by her. All while she could hear Itachi and Orochimaru taunting her.

"You don't have enough hate."

"I can give you power."

"Cling to your pathetic life."

"You will join me."

"Foolish little sister."

"Accept my gift."

Satsuki tripped and fell to her knees, before covering her ears, and closing her eyes.

"Stop, please stop." Satsuki begged, as the visions closed in on her, along with the mocking voices.

Though, just before they could consume Satsuki, the girl felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Your presence disgusts me! Begone you worthless cur!"

Satsuki's eyes opened up, as she looked around in surprise, as the visions faded away, along with the illusions of Orochimaru and Itachi. Looking at the person who helped her, Satsuki was surprised at who she saw.

It was a teenage girl, a few years older than Satsuki herself, with red eyes, long black hair, tied up into twin tails, with two black ribbons. On top of her head, is a black and gold tiara, along with a golden neck brace, and matching "O" shaped earrings. She was wearing very revealing clothing, with her top being a white bra, that is outlined with gold, and exposes a bit of cleavage, along with her lower back and stomach. On her bottom, is a jeweled black-gold thong, that snuggles deeply in between her butt-cheeks, and exposes a large portion of her butt and legs. She also wears a black stocking on her right leg, that has golden ornaments, with her left ankle, having a golden bracelet. Her left arm, is outfitted with a black and gold glove, that covers her forearm, while her left arm has a golden bracelet, around her upper arm.

Satsuki had to admit, the girl was very hot. Though, she soon found her attraction for this girl, to be very awkward. Since, all that this girl had to do, was change her attire, and they could easily pass off, as sisters.

"Wh-who, who are you?" Satsuki asked, confused at who this person was, and how they appeared in her nightmare, with the girl smirking, and flipped her hair.

"I am the Goddess of Beauty, Good Harvests, War, Lust, Discord, and Fertility, Ishtar!" Ishtar declared, with Satsuki's eyes widening in shock, that this woman was a goddess, or at least, claimed to be one.

"I do not claim anything, Satsuki Uchiha. I am a goddess." Said Ishtar, with Satsuki's shock growing even more, that she seemed to be able to hear her thoughts.

"If you're a goddess, then…what are you doing, in my mind? And how do you know my name?" Satsuki asked.

"I know your name, because I learned it from my beloved, Naruto." Ishtar revealed, with Satsuki once again shocked at this.

"You know Naruto?" Questioned Satsuki, wondering what exactly Naruto went through, that he met a goddess, and one, who apparently loved him, at that.

"Of course, he is my chosen, the only one worthy to gaze upon me, in my natural state. And as for how I know of you, you are the only one, Naruto spoke fondly of, from his former home." Ishtar said, while smiling at Satsuki.

"He…talked about me?" Satsuki said, surprised that Naruto would talk about her, given what happened.

"Yes, he did. My beloved also expressed his regret, as to how your last encounter ended. It had been during a moment, when he discovered a horrible secret, and you were simply unlucky enough to find him, when he had yet to come to terms, with it. Which is why he had reacted, the way he did." Said Ishtar, with Satsuki letting out a breath, she didn't realize she was holding, feeling like a weight was removed from her shoulders, relieved that Naruto's anger hadn't been aimed at her, and she simply found him at a bad time.

Though, that didn't make her feel any less guilty, for what she said, and did.

"Okay, thank you, for telling me that. But why are you here?" Satsuki asked, still not knowing why Ishtar was in her mind, doubting it was just to tell her that.

"Ah yes, that matter at hand. You see, our arrival in this world, had an unforeseen consequences. My physical body has been damaged, and now, I must wait to recover my strength. And until then, I require a host, and you are the one, most compatible for me." Ishtar said, while mentally chuckling at how fitting it was, that Satsuki is the most compatible to her.

Whenever she is summoned, especially as a Servant, it has been with a version of Rin Tohsaka, as her host. Just like, how Ereshkigal had taken the Rin Tohsaka that Naruto befriended, as her host. When she was summoned into the Moon Cell Holy Grail War.

So, it only made sense, that Satsuki would be her host, until her physical body fully recovers, given the similarities she has, with Rin Tohsaka, from what she's seen.

"You need me as a host?" Satsuki asked warily, while feeling her body tense a bit, from this information, with Ishtar nodding in confirmation.

"Yes, so that I may find my sister/Master Ereshkigal, our chosen lover, Naruto, and our other allies. But there is no need to worry, you will still exist, and be conscious as your own person, you will merely be sharing your body with me. However, it seems you also have an unwanted stowaway." Ishtar said, scowling as a white snake, that appeared in her hand, thrashing about, with Satsuki looking surprised at the snake's appearance, and could feel that its Chakra, was the same as Orochimaru's.

'The Curse Mark.' Satsuki thought, realizing that Orochimaru must have also put part of himself in the Curse Mark, to influence her.

"I really do despise, such hideous things." Said Ishtar, before crushing the snake, causing it to dissolve, while Satsuki gasped and grabbed her Curse Mark, feeling it suddenly change, no longer feeling the normal ache, it gave her.

"So, shall you allow me to use you, as my host, Satsuki Uchiha?" Ishtar asked, with Satsuki looking at her, for a moment.

"Only on a few conditions; the first, is that I'm the dominant personality, and will be in control my body, the majority of the time. The second, is that you help me bring justice for my clan. And the third…I want to make it up to Naruto, for what happened." Satsuki said, not wanting to lose her second chance at apologizing to Naruto, and earn his forgiveness, along with finally telling him, how she felt.

"These are acceptable conditions. And I'm sure the others will adore you joining us, in having our beloved affections." Ishtar said, smirking, while looking Satsuki up and down, with the Uchiha blushing slightly at the goddess, checking her out.

The two then shook hands, as they were covered, in a bright light.

*Real World*

Satsuki eyes snapped open, briefly flashing red, before turning to their normal black color.

'Naruto, just wait until we meet again.' Satsuki thought, knowing she won't waste her second chance.

*Hokage Tower*

In the Hokage Tower, a meeting was currently being held between Tsunade and Shizune, along with Minato, Kushina, Jiraiya, Homura, Koharu, and Danzō.

"How is the reconstruction of the village going? Along with the restoration of the forest?" Tsunade asked, wanting to know those two, since they were currently the top priority.

"The reconstruction is going well, Tsunade-sama. Everyone is doing their part, in helping rebuild and repair, destroyed or damaged buildings. However, the restoration of the forest, is going much slower, Tenzō is working as hard as he can, in creating as many trees, as he can. But it's clear, that the full restoration of the forest will take years, if not decades, before it's even close to what it used to be. Even then, Tenzō isn't as powerful as the Shodaime, so the forest won't be what it once was." Shizune said, with Tsunade sighing, at learning that even with Tenzō's Mokuton, Konoha's famed forest won't be back, for a long time.

'Might as well change the name from the Hidden Leaf, to the Hidden Wasteland.' Tsunade thought dryly.

"There is also the issue, that after the…battle three days ago, many clients have begun looking elsewhere, to have their jobs completed. Along with many of our allies cutting their ties with us, after the reveal that the Uzumaki boy, was in fact the Kyūbi in disguise, and the one who really rallied them to us. And with the reveal of the fox's trickery, many are withdrawing their support." Said Homura, knowing that word has already begun to spread of the "Battle of the Fox and Dragon", as many have started calling it.

"I believe there is one issue, that needs to be discussed now." Koharu said, with everyone looking at her.

"And what issue would that be?" Asked Minato, frowning, but had a feeling he knew.

"The issue of Naruto Uzumaki. And the fact that Konoha no longer has a Jinchūriki, or the Kyūbi, because of him. Along with his intentions being clear, that he is no ally of Konoha." Said Danzō.

"And just what are you implying Danzō?" Tsunade demanded, while narrowing her eyes.

"That either boy must be dealt with, or insured he cannot endanger Konoha, more than he already has." Danzō stated.

"If you touch my son, I'll kill you myself!" Growled Kushina standing up, refusing to let this one-eyed bastard dare threaten her son, after she just got him back.

"I believe what she means, is that antagonizing Naruto more, than he already is, wouldn't be beneficial, for any of us. And that all we can do, is stay out of his way, and only approach him, when he's reasonably calm." Minato said, knowing that now wasn't the time to be fighting each other, even if he hated Danzō, just as much.

"Okay back on topic. Jiraiya, what have you learned of the villagers, themselves, and what they think, on what happened?" Tsunade asked, knowing they needed to know the current opinions of the villagers, on what's happened.

"Nothing good. From what I've heard, most villagers have actually resorted to killing themselves. Either out of fear, of whatever Naruto has planned for them. Shame, that they had actually been abusing an innocent child, and not the Kyūbi. Or disgust, that the boy they hate, is now the only reason, they're still alive. While others have just packed up, and left the village, having lost faith in Minato's return. Even blaming him, for what happened." Jiraiya said, while giving his student an apologetic look, as Minato hung his head, in shame.

"Anything else?" Tsunade asked, massaging her temples, to stave off the oncoming headache.

"I've heard…rumors, that the Fire Daimyō is coming to Konoha, with a platoon of his own forces, to…negotiate Konoha's standing, in his country. Given recent events have now left most of it, a barren wasteland." Said Jiraiya, with Tsunade groaning, and wishing for nothing more, than to get drunk.

"What about the other villages? Have they learned of what's happened?" Questioned Tsunade.

"If they haven't already, I'm sure they will, soon." Jiraiya answered, knowing all of the Elemental Nations, either already knows, or will know, in a matter of days.

*Iwagakure*

"Is this true?" Kurotsuchi asked, looking at her grandfather, the Sandaime Tsuchikage Ōnoki, who nodded at the report, in her hands, one from their spies in the Land of Fire, on what happened.

"I wouldn't believe it, myself. But we all felt the shockwave and great power released, a few days ago." Said Ōnoki, with Kurotsuchi scowling, as it meant that not only was the Yellow Flash alive, but now his son was powerful enough to fight a Bijū, one-on-one.

"Are we going to attack?" Kurotsuchi asked, hoping for the chance to attack Konoha, in their now weakened state, only to flinch, when her grandfather glared at her.

"Don't be foolish. While they may no longer have a Jinchūriki, or the Kyūbi, they still have the Yellow Flash, the Crimson Death, two Sannin, and many powerful Jōnin, as well. Even with Han and Roshi, we'd be crushed. The only saving grace, is that the dragon boy seems to hate Konoha, as much as us." Ōnoki said.

"So, what? You think we could get him, on our side?" Questioned Kurotsuchi.

"Perhaps, with the right circumstances." Replied Ōnoki, while pulling out a picture of Naruto, that his spies managed to get, and showed his granddaughter.

Kurotsuchi frowned, knowing what her grandfather meant, as she looked at the picture.

"Well, at least he's not only strong, but hot, as well." Kurotsuchi said, glad that her potential match, was easy on the eyes, and had plenty of power, to back up any talk.

*Kumogakure*

"So, not only is the Yellow Flash still alive, but Konoha no longer has the Kyūbi, Namikaze's kid can turn into a giant dragon, most of Fire Country is a wasteland, and we have absolutely no idea, what else he can do. Did I get all that, Darui?" Questioned the Yondaime Raikage, A, as he looked at his right-hand man, Darui.

"That's the basics, but yeah, boss." Darui replied.

A frowned, while thinking over this information.

Normally, he would dismiss it, but when all his spies said the exact same thing, there must be some nugget of truth. When he gets even more reports, that most of the Land of Fire has been reduced to a wasteland, then A started believing it.

The fact, that the Yellow Flash's kid seemed to have gotten strong enough to take on a Bijū, like it was nothing. A wasn't sure, if he should be worried, or respect the kid, for actually facing the Kyūbi alone, and winning. But, what really had his attention, was that the kid didn't really seem very fond of his family, or Konoha, in general. Meaning, that there was a chance, he could be persuaded to join them. Giving Kumo a very powerful ally, and one, who's children would hopefully inherit his power.

Even better, if they could turn into dragons, as well.

"Tell Samui, Karui, and Yugito, that I have an important assignment, for them." A said, with Darui nodding, and went to go get the three Kunoichi.

*Kirigakure*

Mei Terumi, the Godaime Mizukage, couldn't help, but be worried, when she began getting reports of what happened in Konoha, a few days ago.

She already had enough problems, dealing with getting Kirigakure restored, after the civil war, and helping the village move past from its blood-soaked legacy. Wanting to start a new era for Kiri, but now, she had to worry about the Yellow Flash and Crimson Death being alive, along with their son being powerful enough, to face a Bijū.

'Though, perhaps this might be a saving grace, and a chance for Kiri.' Mei thought, seeing that Naruto wasn't loyal to either his family, or Konoha.

If she was able to bring him over to Kiri's side, it'd provide them with a powerful ally, and hopefully, bring in more jobs requests, to help restore the village. Along with a deterrent against anyone, that'd try attacking them, in their weakened state.

"Plus, he is rather handsome." Said Mei, smirking at the picture of Naruto, knowing he'd make a good husband.

*Otogakure*

"Well now, isn't this interesting." Orochimaru stated, while smirking, as he looked over the reports from his spies.

At first, he was angry at not only failing to have Satsuki brought to him, but also the fact Namikaze was still alive. But then felt glee, at learning what happened next, and now hearing what's happened to Konoha, after the battle between the real Naruto and the Kyūbi.

'Kukuku, who would have thought, that loudmouth brat was actually the Kyūbi, in disguise. While the real Naruto, is beyond anything I could have imagined.' Orochimaru thought, amazed at how the Kyūbi was able to hide its presence for years, with no one suspecting it, along with Naruto's new powers, and ability to transform into a dragon.

Though, what Orochimaru was more interested in, is the crack in the sky Naruto, came through. Where did it lead, where had Naruto been, how did he gain these powers, and did others follow him through, to here?

This is what Orochimaru was more intrigued by, even more interested in it, than getting the Sharingan.

Though, for now, he'll play it smart, and hold off on searching for any other possibly followers, that Naruto may have brought along. Not wanting to have Naruto's attention, turned onto him.

*Akatsuki Base*

Meanwhile, in one of the Akatsuki's hidden bases, the organization was meeting, to discuss the recent events, within Konoha. With not only, the apparent return of Naruto Uzumaki, who was strong enough to evenly fight the Kyūbi, but also seemingly kill it. But also the fact, and revelation, that the true leader of the Akatsuki, was really the Yondaime Hokage's believed deceased student, Obito Uchiha, under the guise of Madara Uchiha.

Most of the Akatsuki, were either annoyed or angry at the revelation, with Pein and Konan being the most angry, at the manipulation. Obito was also angry, that his identity was now revealed, and was trying to salvage the situation, but knew it likely wouldn't be long, until the Akatsuki began destabilizing, before dissolving completely.

As now not only was the Kyūbi apparently gone, which all, but ruins the Moon's Eye Plan. But now, with his identity revealed, it wouldn't inspire the same fear, as if they believed he was Madara Uchiha.

Obito was right about this, as several Akatsuki members, were already considering leaving the organization, no longer having the same fear of death or retribution, if they left, or hadn't joined in the first place. The only reason they're all staying now, is to see how things play out, or waiting for the chance they can leave, without fear of being hunted down.

*Timeskip-One Week*

*Konoha*

"Team Seven, reporting for a mission, Hokage-sama." Kakashi said, as he and his students, stood in the Hokage's Office, to receive a mission, or at least, one of the few, that they had left, after most of their clients took their business, elsewhere.

They were also joined by Miso, who had taken Naruto, or the Kyūbi's, place as the third member, on the team. Having taken her own Genin Exam, to become a Ninja, proving she was at least Genin level.

Tsunade nodded, and looked through the few mission requests, she had available. Though, before she could give them one, Naruto suddenly materialized in the office, surprising them.

Naruto looked around the office frowning, having sensed Ishtar's power, over the past couple days, but couldn't pinpoint the exact location. Now, he had finally managed to locate, just where she was, and wanted to find her. Hoping that she knew, where the others were, as well. The Demi-Servant then stiffened, when he looked at Satsuki, who looked at him with wide eyes, which then turned red, as she grinned.

"Beloved!" Ishtar said, throwing herself at Naruto, or would have, had Satsuki not taken control back, and quickly stepped back from Naruto.

"Satsuki…I see you've met Ishtar." Said Naruto, seeing Ishtar had taken Satsuki as a host, to recover her strength.

"Uh, yeah…she kinda just…showed up…" Satsuki replied, with Naruto nodding slowly, neither of them sure what else to say, given their last meeting.

"Well uh…it's good to see you…both of you." Said Naruto, glad that despite the circumstances, he had someone he knew he could trust to watch his back, with Ishtar around.

"You too." Satsuki replied, with a small smile

"Naruto, what're you talking about? Who's Ishtar?" Miso asked, while looking between her brother and Satsuki.

"And what do you mean she just, showed up, Satsuki?" Kakashi asked, while narrowing his eyes, wondering who this Ishtar was, and where she was.

"The mission is to the Land of Snow. You'll be escorting an actress, and her film crew, while a movie is being shot, there." Tsunade said, wanting to get them back on the reason, they were here.

'The Land of Snow.' Naruto thought, this having his full attention, given one of his Servants was there.

Naruto having been able to keep the mental link, between his Servants, and knew one was in the Land of Snow, with them agreeing to meet there, before going off, to find the others. This providing Naruto the perfect chance to get there, without having to drag Miso there, by force.

"If you're going to the Land of Snow, I'll be going as well. I need to stretch my legs, rather than staying trapped here." Said Naruto, everyone looking at him, while within Satsuki, Ishtar had a feeling of what Naruto meant, and why he wanted to go, supporting his decision, along with wanting to help find the others, as soon as possible.

"I'm afraid, that's not possible. As you are technically a civilian, you can't accompany Team Seven, on a mission. But if you were to join our forces as a Ninja, you could join them, as added protection." Said Tsunade, trying to use this to her favor, seeing that Naruto wanted to go to the Land of Snow for some reason, and saw a chance to tie him to Konoha.

This though proved to be a mistake, as not a moment later Naruto's expression darkened, before going up to Tsunade's desk, and glared at her.

"You really think you can manipulate me, so you can put a chain around my neck? Sorry to break it to you, but you can't do shit to me. As like you said, I'm a civilian, and I'm also not a citizen of Konoha. Meaning, I can do whatever the hell I want, and there isn't a thing you can do, to stop me. So, if I want to leave, I can, just like I can slit your throat right now, for thinking you could manipulate me." Naruto growled, while drawing Gram, and held it at Tsunade's throat.

Seeing the threat to the Hokage, the hidden Anbu jumped out of the shadows to attack the Demi-Servants, only for Naruto to smirk, having expected this. The moment the Anbu got close enough, Naruto spun around, decapitating all six Anbu, in one fluid motion.

Turning again, Naruto grabbed Tsunade's wrist, when she tried punching him in the back of his head, before flipped her over her desk, and onto the ground. Before the Senju could get up, she froze, when Naruto pressed Gram into her throat, the point stabbing her hard enough to draw blood, in a silently warning.

"Let this be a warning, the next time you even think of trying to manipulate me, or any of my companions, I will kill you. Along with anyone else, who gets in my way. Is that clear?" Naruto growled, with Tsunade gulping fearfully, seeing a clear difference between the Naruto be she believed she knew, and the real one standing, in front of her.

The real one, wouldn't take shit from anyone, and anyone who tried, would suffer the consequences.

Naruto then drove the point home, by releasing a flare of his power, making Tsunade and Team Seven freeze at the sudden pressure, bearing down on them.

"Alright, alright! You can join them, on the mission." Tsunade relented, while attempting to hide her fear, with Naruto smirking, as he released her, and sheathed Gram.

"Good choice. And one more thing." Said Naruto, before snapping his fingers again, causing several body parts to appear around the office, all of them from the living ROOT Anbu, that Naruto had interrogated as well as those whom he had killed beforehand.

"Tell, whoever keeps sending these idiots after me, that if they don't stop, they die next." Naruto said, before turning around and exiting the office, though not before drawing Balmung, and decapitating another ROOT Anbu, hiding in the shadows, uncaring of the disturbed Ninja, or the chaos that could come from his actions.

The only thing Naruto cared about, was finding his allies, and then leaving this damn village, forever.

So, what did you think, good. Yep Miso is now starting to understand just what Naruto went through, along with seeing Naruto isn't willing to take any shit from Konoha anymore. We also see Satsuki as well and seeing how her friendship with Naruto ended and her confronting Kurama, along with then learning that two of Naruto's companions or Ishtar and Ereshkigal, with Ishtar now using Satsuki as a host. Then we see the various reactions of other villages and factions of Naruto's fight with Kurama, along with what the Bijū revealed of the Masked Man. Finally we see Team Seven, with Miso taking Kurama's place, are going off to the Land of Snow, with Naruto tagging along after learning one of his Servants is there and plans to reunite with them before they go find their other companions, but not before Naruto sends a very clear message of what happens to anyone who tries manipulating him. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
