ACT 01: Rise from the Shadows

ARC 02: Rise of Naruto

CHAPTER 05: Bijuu Gathering

(Naruto x Yukikaze x Naruko LEMON)

Yukikaze moaned in Naruto's mouth as their tongues danced around each others, with Yuuki's breasts pressed up against Naruto's chest and Naruto's hands on her ass. Naruto's pajamas and Yukikaze's shinobi outfit were still on, but that changed in a hurry when both striped each other of their clothes.

With their clothes in a messy pile, Naruto lifted Yukikaze up, who wrapped her arms and legs around him, as he entered the showered and turned the warm water on. He then sat her on a seat in the shower with the water still hitting them, and moved to her large breasts, kissing and sucking on them. Yukikaze closed her eyes and mewled as the skills her fellow blonde learned from Morrigan came into play, sending spikes of pleasure through her body.

While Yukikaze was sad that this act was the first time Naruto did to her when she revealed her human form as she first feared, she inwardly admits that it was her fault for giving him a blowjob to wake him up. But due to that Naruto is doing to her right now, she doesn't truly mind, nor care in the slightest. She was so wrapped up in the spikes of pleasure that she didn't notice Naruto going lower to her pussy before proceeding to lick it.

Yukikaze yelped at the unexpected sensation.

"Naruto-sama, that's…!" Yukikaze started to say before Naruto flicked his tongue over her clitoris, making her gasp.

"Aww, you don't like, Yuuki-chan?" Naruto asked in a mock hurt tone.

"It's not that! It's so…embarrassing! But…it feels so good!" Yukikaze squeaked, making Naruto smile before continuing to lick her, "Ah~!"

This continued for a while until Naruto was about to insert his tongue. Yukikaze countered by falling on top of him with her pussy in his face, but she scooted down, her breast rubbing against Naruto's face, until she was eye level and grabbed Naruto's already harden cock.

"Now, now, Naruto-sama. As your eternal servant, I'll be the one that pleasures you." Yukikaze said and kissed him to cut off his retort until he pulled back.

"Fine, you little minx. You can be in the driver's seat, for now."

Yukikaze gave a cat-like grin as she scooted down her master's body. Opening her mouth, she stuck her tongue, letting the saliva coat Naruto's cock, making it twitch. Naruto wondered what she was planning until she held her large breasts in her hands and descended onto him, sandwiching his tool with her melons.

It was Naruto's turn to moan as he was overwhelmed by the softness of Yukikaze's paizuri, the experience far surpassing Morrigan's and Kiyomi's paizuri's due to the supreme softness of Yukikaze's breasts, no disrespect to them of course.

"Kiyomi-chan, I wonder how you're doing with Narumi?" Naruto thought as his mind wandered.

Yukikaze growled a little when she sensed her master's mind wander, so she put her mouth on parts of Naruto cock that wasn't getting pleasured by her tit-fuck, bringing him back to reality.

With an appreciative moan and without warning, Naruto came into Yukikaze's mouth, surprising her as she quickly drew back, ending up getting her fellow blonde's load on her face until the shower water cleaned it off.

"Mou, Naruto-sama. You came twice and yet you're still rock-hard." Yukikaze complained as she eyed his twitching member.

"Blame my endurance and stamina, which you know so much about by the way." Naruto countered, making Yukikaze pout until she saw when lining up his cock with her pussy.

"Are you sure, Naruto-sama?" Yukikaze asked coyly, making his confused, "I mean, you already had sex with a dai-yokai and a succubus, but are you sure you can handle a demigod?"

"…A demigod huh? That's a bold claim." Naruto replied as he slowly entered her, making her moan, "I'll have to ask about that…later!"

Yukikaze cried out loud as Naruto broke her barrier and took her virginity, the same virginity that she was saving for him.

"Itai yo~" she whined as she held onto Naruto, who decided not to move until she was ready. He was considerate after all.

"Sorry, Yukki-chan, but rest assured, the pain will slowly turn to pleasure as Morrigan-sensei taught me."

"I know. You can move now. I can take it! What kind of foxy servant would I be if I couldn't?"

"The cute and sexy kind."

As Naruto started thrusting in and out of Yukikaze, some appeared over his shoulder after quietly closing the door.

"Sounds like someone's having fun." Naruko said, surprising her fellow blonds.

"Naruko? What are you doing here?" Naruto asked while not missing a beat to having sex with Yukikaze.

"You forgot to put up the Sound Barrier Jutsu, especially when we are about to have company!" Naruko scolded him as she pulled on his cheek.

"Ha, ha. Oops!" Naruto laughed as pouted as Naruko pouted.

"And an even bigger crime: You didn't invite me!" she whined.

"Sorry about that, but it is Yuuki-chan's time, especially after waking me up with a blowjob while revealing her human form this morning. It'll be your turn when it's…your turn." Naruto told Naruko as Yukikaze rest her leg on his shoulder.

"Boo-boo-boo. Fine dear brother, I can wait." Naruko relented before smirking evilly at Yukikaze, "For now-"

She crawled over to Yukikaze and leaned forward towards her bouncing boobs.

"I'll help myself to Yuuki-chan's milk-jugs!" Naruko declared, grabbing Yukikaze's breasts and used her mouth to latch onto a nipple, "Itadakimasu!"

"Ah, Naruko-sama, no! They're- ah! Sensitive! Ah-ha!"

"Mmm, delicious!" Naruko mumbled through her mouth.

Yukikaze suffered through the Naru twins antics using her body as they switched positions multiple times in one hour. They had to make their romp quick since they were expecting company. Even worse, Naruto was cheating by holding off his and her orgasms whenever either of them reached their peak causing them to be wild.

"Kyuu-chan. I blame Kyuu-chan for that trick you're abusing." Naruko mumbled and whined as Yukikaze lapped at her pussy until she cried out and came into her face before landing on her butt, her chest heaving as Naruto suddenly sped up his thrusts.

"Ah! Naruto-sama! I can't take anymore! I'm about to cum!" Yukikaze wailed and held onto her master.

"I'm at my limit as well, Yukki-hime!" Naruto growled out and pounded her into the soft mat Naruko for them a while ago as the water continued to trickle onto them.

As they reached their climax, Naruko reach over and twisted Yukikaze's nipples.

"Naruko-sama, that's going too…far! I'm…I'm going to…! Naruto-sama~!"

"Yukki-chan!"

Yukikaze climatic yell rang through the shower with Naruto grunting as they both came together, with Naruto's release flowing into Yukikaze's womanhood while her own release drenched Naruto's lower half. Panting, Yukikaze flashed a smile at Naruto, which he returned before they kissed deeply. As they pulled back, Naruko wanted her own kiss and gave Yukikaze a wet and sloppy one with dancing tongues before pulling back.

"We're not gonna be the only ones in Naruto-nii's flock. Soon he'll be the envy of every male in the world." Naruko stated with a cat-like smile with Yukikaze nodding and grinning.

"Kicking ass? Check. Making love to multiple hot beauties? Check." Naruto agreed as he hugged Yukikaze and Naruko close.

"Life is good!"

(October 10, Western Lands, Naruto Homestead Mansion, Dining Room)

Naruto's eyebrows were twitching, much to everyone's amusement, as he frowned at the man who looks like the gruff, older version of his father. What really threw him off was the fact that this man is also the older brother of his father, Namikaze Minato, and he is the proclaimed "Original" Yellow Flash. This was the last thing he needed after having a mind-blowing threesome with Yukikaze and Naruko in the shower, especially when Yukikaze revealed that she was a kitsune demigod.

How can that be? Looks like answers are in order.

"So let me get this straight. You are Namikaze Arashi, the older brother of my father, therefore making me your nephew."

"Yep."

"And the Namikaze clan originally came from the Western Lands, with half the clan leaving after a betrayal, with my father going with them, ending up in Konohagakure years ago."

"Yep."

"With my father dearest being the survivor of what was called the "Namikaze Genocide" enacted by Danzo "in the name of Konoha", with my father being the only survivor at a tender young age."

"Yep."

"And to top it all up, he stole your improved version of the Namikaze's clan original technique, which so happens to be the Hiraishin you were working on, and he made it his own?"

"Yep."

"Well this is certainly believable... *tickmark* ALONG WITH FLYING PIGS AND A TOOTH FAIRY!"

The table in the room went flying out the window due to Naruto's anger at this new information, with his housemates, Naruko, Yukikaze, Morrigan, Tifa, Shigure, Azumi, and Sheena looking completely unfazed.

"Trust me gaki. There's a lot you don't know that you'll know in due time. But for now I'll like a chance to get to know my nephew. I know my face reminds you of my foolish little brother, but at least give me a chance. We're practically family here. What say you?"

Naruto grumbled, scratching his head until Naruko put her hand on his shoulder, whispering about that ability Kiyomi gave him that allows him to sense negative emotions. Naruto nodded and activated the ability, focusing on Arashi. He was mildly surprised when he didn't sense any negative feelings towards himself whatsoever. He was nothing like his good-for-nothing father.

"Mmm, alright fine, uncle…" Naruto replied, shrugging, "But I'm be keeping my guard up around you."

"Constant vigilance. That's good, gaki. That's very good indeed." Arashi said as he got up, "I've noticed that there's a field that you and your girlfriends no doubt use for training. I'll meet you there this afternoon."

With a salute and grin, Arashi used Hiraishin to leave the house, with Naruto noting that his version of the Hiraishin was faster than Minato's version and his own.

"Are you okay, Naruto-sama?" Yukikaze asked, putting a slender hand on his shoulder.

"I'm fine. It's just amazing to find out that there's family outside Konoha that are still alive." Naruto said, turning to Arashi's blue-haired companion, Uzumaki Sayuri, "How did you survive the Fall of Uzu?"

"I was out of the country on a mission that time; just a regular old escort mission. When I returned, Uzu was in ruins. All of my friends, dead; with my little half-sister Kushina nowhere to be found. There were survivors, hidden in underground bunkers, but they decided to scatter all around the Elemental Countries." Sayuri said sadly.

"Why didn't you go to Konoha?" Sheena asked.

"Because I didn't trust them, especially since they had those three stooges in their Shinobi Council: Mitokado Homura, Utahane Koharu, and the leader of the Foundation aka ROOT, Shimura Danzo. The former three may have been the Nidaime Hokage's students along with Sarutobi Hiruzen, but they never incorporated the Will of Fire like he supposedly did. As for Shimura Danzo, he had a lot of nerve to request the Uzumaki clan to move to Konoha after the many run-ins our Uzu Shinobi had with his ROOT Shinobi. That man is pure scum, and is nothing but an annoying die-hard patriot of Konoha."

"Danzo, huh…" Naruto mused, recalling the mummy-man as he likes to call him, "Do you think he influenced my father?"

"Doubtful, but I wouldn't put to pass him to assist your father in what he did." Sayuri replied before looking at her watch, "Well, enough life stories and speculations. Once you finish your breakfast, we'll get down to business, dattebane!"

"She has the same verbal tic as okaa-san and onee-chan." Naruko noted as Sayuri exited the house.

"Guess she really is an Uzumaki…like her…" Naruto agreed.

"What do you think he'll teach you?" Azumi wondered, "There can't be more to the Hiraishin and seals than you already know, right?"

"We'll see." Naruto said as he dived into his cereal.

(Training, a few months later)

And so began Naruto's training with Arashi and Sayuri in Namikaze and Uzumaki style combat and Fuinjutsu, with Naruko and the other girls joining in. While he already knows much from the books and scrolls in the clan library back in the Namikaze Estate, what Arashi and Sayuri were teaching him was quite new.

Naruto knew most of the basic and intermediate forms, as well as some of the advanced forms of the Namikaze-style taijutsu, until Arashi taught Naruto the true nature of their clan style. It was focused on powerful blow that is augmented by the speed of the Hiraishin jutsu.

Contrary to popular belief that it was Minato or Senju Tobirama that created the Hiraishin, it couldn't be farther from the truth. The Hiraishin was actually the signature jutsu of the whole Namikaze clan when the founders experimented with fuinjutsu until they discovered and laid out the foundation that is the Hiraishin. But in order to use the Hirashin, their bodies had to be conditioned to the point that they can withstand the amount of g-forces used for the Hiraishin, or else the technique would tear them apart. When later generations were born later, the children were already born with the conditioning, so the problem was no longer a factor.

As generations passed, the Hiraishin evolved into the fast time-space jutsu we know today, with a basic version of the jutsu being given to Tobirama Senju as a show of generosity when the Namikaze clan settlers came to Konoha. A few members of the clan decided to create different variations of the Hiraishin like the ones Arashi is teaching Naruto. Examples include the Reverse Hiraishin and the advanced ones; the Hiraishin Shot and the Hiraishin Jump, along with others.

The Reverse Hiraishin uses one Hiraishin kunai to create a field that allows the user to teleport anywhere within the field, even in midair. It works to greater effect when used indoors and can be able to create Space/Time barriers to prevent opponents from leaving the battlefield.

The Hiraishin Jump is an advanced technique that is simply using the Hiraishin multiple times in midair by throwing Hiraishin kunai after kunai. This may seem like the basic Hiraishin as Naruto once pointed out to Arashi, but in fact sets up the basis on distance use for the Hiraishin via the chakra sensor implemented into the seal and helps train members of the clan to become full blown Sensor Ninja at all times. Naruto was very excited at this prospect, simply because he knew for a fact his father hadn't gotten to this point and it truly made the Hiraishin an Army killer.

The Hiraishin Shot is a trap jutsu where one throws a Hiraishin kunai at an opponent to teleport them to a different location with a Hiraishin kunai paired on the same chakra frequency as the one used against the opponent. Arashi explained how this could be used to send Jutsu being targeted at you to completely different areas as well as good for rescuing hostages in the midst of battle.

Naruto found the Hiraishin Shot easy to use in combat thanks to his creative ways of thinking, but still had a long way to go with the Reverse Hiraishin and Hiraishin Jump. In fact his favorite use of Hiraishin Shot was setting up a Henge Hiraishin kunai near his opponent and using the opponents' own jutsu against them. His new twin sister Naruko was the same way with Reverse Hiraishin and Hiraishin Jump and would complain a lot on how she wanted to do long distance surprise attacks sooner rather than later, yet she didn't let that stop her from progressing.

"Yo, kit!"

Naruto, who was using the trees as a crutch to practice the Hiraishin Jump technique, looked down to see Inari waving at him.

"Inari-san! It's been a while." Naruto greeted as he jumped down and landed in front of him, "What's up?"

"Got a mission for ya that I think you might enjoy. Why don't you gather your friends and I'll tell you about it?" Inari said with Naruto nodding.

"Can you at least give me a hint at what it is?" Naruto asked, but Inari shook his head.

"Nah. Don't like repeating myself. I'll meet you and the others at your house." Inari said and disappeared in a swirl of flames.

"Jerk." Naruto muttered and headed back to the mansion.

(Homestead Mansion, a while later)

"You're all here. Good, thanks for seeing me on such short notice." Inari said and looked around the living room.

Naruto was living on one side of the sofa with Naruko resting her head on Naruto's shoulder, while Yukki was lying on his lap in her human form. On the other side was Shigure, who was sitting upside down on the sofa with a bored expression on her face; Azumi who was sitting on the edge of the sofa, and Sheena, who was standing next to her. Morrigan was sitting on her familiars that allowed her to float; Tifa was leaning against the wall with her arms folded; and Arashi and Sayuri were sitting at the table.

Inari clapped his hands, "Well, onto business. Naruto, remember that seal Yami asked you to learn and perfect? The Rikudou Fuin Kai Jutsu (Six-Paths Sealing Release Jutsu)?"

"I learned it, but can barely perfect it since you and her never told me what it was for. What is it suppose to release? I can't perfect a technique unless I know what it's for." Naruto responded, looking annoyed.

"Yeah, sorry about that, kit. It's for releasing a Bijuu from its Jinchuuriki host." Inari revealed, with everyone responding in shock.

"But won't that kill the host?" Yukki pointed out, but Inari shook his head.

"Not the Rikudou Fuin Kai Jutsu is won't. This kind of seal requires a lot of chakra can only be used by those of the Uzumaki, Senju, Hyuuga, Kaguya, and Uchiha clans, but due to the Uzumaki Clan mastery in sealing, its perfect for them, and by extension, the kit." Inari explained.

"I understand the need to free the Bijuu, but why now? Did something happen, or is something going to happen soon that'll endanger them?" Tifa asked, with Inari sighing and nodding in confirmation.

"Putting it bluntly, yes on the second part, Tif. Have any of you heard of the Akatsuki?"

"It's a mercenary group. What about them?" Shigure said.

"They're more than a mercenary group, Shigure. This group's aims are to capture all the Bijuu to used against the Elemental Countries and the rest of the world. One of their problems is that they have no plans to revive the Jinchuuriki after they extract them."

"If they have all the Bijuu, they can subjugate all of the Elemental Countries and the world. But something tells me that there's more to this than that." Naruto said as a hundreds of ideas crossed his mind about this situation.

"The infamous Uzumaki intuition strikes again. You're right, kit. My guess is that they're planning to merge the Bijuu together to revive the Juubi, their original form with more power than any of them combined."

"Sounds scary." Naruko said, shivering and holding Naruto's arm tightly, with Naruto stroking her hair to calm her down.

"Why is a simple group of S-class missing-nin pulling a stunt like this? I don't see them cooperating for a project like this? What's their endgame for reviving Juubi?" Arashi wondered.

"Don't know, but there's no way we're waiting around to find out. Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto, Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruko, Yukikaze Panettone, Sakurai Azumi, Kosaka Shigure, Fujibayashi Sheena, Tifa Lockhart, and Morrigan Aensland. You'll be going on a little roadtrip around the Elemental Countries to collect eight of the nine Bijuu from the Jinchuuriki. Kiyomi will have to stay with Narumi and Tsubaki to reverse the damage her chakra might've cause without her being in either one of them." Inari said with Naruto nodding in understanding.

"When do we leave?"

"Tomorrow's preferable, but I think it would be best to wait until the end of the week. The Bijuu fall under Yami's jurisdiction, due to them mutating from pure chakra beasts to dai-yokai, and she, I, or Kami and Shinigami doesn't want to take any chances. Also…"

Inari handed Naruto a scroll, "Use this once you extract the Bijuu. This'll open a portal that take them to Kami's realm where Yami will meet them and take them into her custody. Any questions?"

"Nope. I'm just looking forward to see how the Elemental Countries' been since my absence. Except Konoha of course. I'm not ready to head back just yet." Naruto commented before speaking to the others, "Come on. We head out tomorrow."

Naruto and his team filed out of the living room and headed upstairs, leaving Arashi and Sayuri.

"Are you sure about this, sending him back to the Elemental Countries so soon? The Chunin Exams isn't until a few more years." Sayuri noted.

"After watching the Akatsuki's movements, I've decided that they're too much of a risk to have running around once Naruto strikes back against Konoha. The earlier they get taken out, the better. Yami-chan and Shinigami-chan agrees." Inari explained as he sat on the sofa, "Besides, something tells me that if they take control of the Juubi, it'll result in the unsealing and revival of an even bigger nightmare."

"Who? Uchiha Madara? How much of a threat can he be if he couldn't defeat Senju Hashirama? The Sharingan may be powerful, but all it relies on is direct eye contact for it to work. Plus, it can't copy every kind of jutsu." Arashi said, having encountered many Uchiha who fell before him and his Hiraishin skills.

"Uchiha Madara? Ha! That bitch is nothing compared to the Rabbit Goddess." Inari countered, making both Arashi and Sayuri stiffen, both recognizing the title.

"The Rabbit Goddess… As in Ootsutsuki Kaguya, the ancestral matriarch of the Uzumaki, Senju, Uchiha, Hyuuga, and Kaguya clans? That Ootsutsuki Kaguya?" Sayuri asked, paling.

"Correct." Inari said, nodding and looking grim.

Cue camera close-up as Arashi summed up the possible situation in just two words.

"Oh fuckberries…"

-Kirigakure, the Village Hidden in the Mist, located in the Land of Water-

If one would describe how the Bijuu retrieval went in the past few months for Naruto, Naruko, Yukikaze, Sheena, Azumi, Shigure, Tifa, and Morrigan; it was either hell or peaceful, depending on the Bijuu and her Jinchuuriki.

Yep, all nine of the chakra beasts turned dai-yokai were female, due to their original form, the Juubi, being female, but more on that later.

Flashback

-First stop: Sunagakure, the Village Hidden in the Sand, located in the Land of Wind-

In Suna, their Jinchuuriki is Subaku no Gaia, the youngest daughter of the Yondaime Kazekage, who specializes in Gold Dust that he controls with his Magnet Style kekkei genkai.

From what Team Naruto learned after a day in the village, disguised as random tourists, the Yondaime Kazekage had Shukaku sealed inside Gaia so she could be the ultimate weapon for the village, due to the Wind Daimyo cutting down Suna's budget and instead using Konoha less expensive services. Because of this, Gaia's experience was no different than Naruto's, getting treated like crap, despite having a family that consisted of her father and her two siblings, Temari and Kankuro, the former doting on her more than her father and brother since she actually cares for her.

But the breaking point was when the Yondaime Kazekage had Gaia's caretaker, Yashimaru, the brother of the Three Sand Siblings' mother who died after giving birth to Gaia, try and assassinate Gaia, but failed when Gaia's sand protected her and was killed by it while revealing the truth. This caused Gaia to fall into despair and transform into Shukaku, who tried to escape Suna with her container, but was stopped by the Kazekage. Now Gaia turned dark, caring for nothing but herself, refused to sleep, and killed to prove her existence.

Dividing into two teams to strike at night, Naruto, Yukikaze, Shigure, and Tifa formed Team 1 that would lure Gaia a few miles out of the village, while Team 2, Naruko, Azumi, Sheena, and Morrigan would stay behind to provide several distraction long enough for the other team to secure Shukaku.

Team 1 found Gaia sitting in her favorite spot in the village, looking up at the moonlight. She's 4'9", has long auburn red hair with reach down to her back with bangs in either side of her face, pale blue-green eyes with tanuki-like eye rings, fair skin, the kanji for love on her forehead, wearing a black shirt with mesh underneath, a white cloth around her waist with a brown sash that secured her gourd on her back, black shorts that reach mid-thigh, and black ninja shoes.

The mission started with Azumi hitting the ninpo, Rage of the Mountain God, in an unpopulated area of the village, to attract the attention of the all the shinobi in the village. It worked, with Team 2 hiding to create some more hit-and-run distractions, while Naruto henged into Yashimaru to attract Gaia's attention. It worked like a charm, with Gaia seeing red and gave chase after him, with Yukikaze, Shigure, and Tifa following closely behind.

An hour later, Naruto got Gaia far enough and avoided her killer sand attacks while undoing his henge at the same time. Gaia was shocked and finally listened to her "mother" who was telling her that she was being had when Naruto, Yukikaze, Shigure, and Tifa surrounded her. Gaia went on the attack, but couldn't do much when Tifa zigzagging around her attacks and kicking her high into the air before following after her and punching her back down to earth, giving Naruto enough time to activate the Water Style: Stormy Blockade jutsu to summon a torrent of water from the sky and chained it with the Great Waterfall Vortex jutsu to spread the water across the field of sand, drenching Gaia and the sand around her to make her sand abilities useless. At her "mother's" urging, Gaia used the Forced Sleep Jutsu, but was unable to complete it due to Yukikaze hitting her with Shatter Shot energy blasts before Shigure bound her with wire from her throwing weapons.

Multiple Fire jutsu suddenly shot into the sky from Suna, letting Team 1 knows that their part is done and they're retreating to the rendezvous point. Naruto then hit a terrified and powerless Gaia with the Rikudou Fuin Kai Jutsu and safely extracted a yellow orb that was Shukaku from Gaia.

Upon extraction, Gaia was severely weakened due to her fruitless resistance to Naruto's fuinjutsu, and Shukaku formed into a miniature version of her Ichibi form before transforming into a cute young woman with dark brown wavy hair that reach down to her back, golden-yellow eyes with dark pupils, a busty figure with light brown milk chocolate skin, and wearing a gold sleeveless tubetop with a hole that showed her underboobs that connected to flowing pants, with no footwear on, leaving her barefoot.

Naruto was about to summon his chakra chains just in case she had a psychotic break, but it wasn't necessary as Shukaku explained that the priest that first sealed her seal caused her to be dangerously psycho as usual and lost her mind. When Naruto freed her with the Rikudou Fuin Kai Jutsu, it broke the seal that the priest stamped on her, and now she was fine, but still psychotic. She then spoke to Gaia, apologizing for her role in Gaia's suffering in Suna for being a Jinchuuriki, and things would've been different if she never encountered that priest and she wasn't so crazy like she was in her host's heads.

After Shukaku blessed Gaia with some of her power by adding another chakra network with her chakra within her, Naruto summoned Yami, who then took Shukaku back to her realm just time as Naruto and the others left a wearily Gaia who was found by her brother and sister seconds later.

When Naruto, Yukikaze, Shigure, and Tifa, met back up with Naruko, Azumi, Sheena, and Morrigan, they headed south towards Iwa, where Yonbi and Gobi are located.

-Second stop: Iwagakure, the Village Hidden in the Stones, located in the Land of Earth-

Luckily for the group of eight, retrieving the Yonbi and Gobi was a walk in the park, through a fog of hot steam with puddles of lava that is.

Infiltrating the village was a tad difficult, but getting the information about the Iwa Jinchuuriki was a breeze since the citizens enjoy talking down about them when they're not talking about anything else.

Roshi and Han, the Yonbi Jinchuuriki and Gobi Jinchuuriki respectively. They live on the outskirts of the village, away from the people of Iwa by the order of the Tsuchikage until they are needed.

Like guard dogs.

With the information at hand, Naruko, Naruko, Yukikaze, Shigure, Azumi, Sheena, Tifa, and Morrigan made their way to Han and Roshi's lair to retrieve the Yonbi and Gobi. It was a good thing that they're several miles away from the village, which gave them plenty of time.

Upon entering the Jinchuuriki's domain in the forest, it didn't take long for the group to find the duo due to the latter coming to them. They weren't hard to spot, as one was really tall and heavily armored with a straw hat and kimono, and the other has red hair, moustache, and beard and wearing a casual shinobi outfit. Seeing them as reasonable people, Naruto told them that they're there to extract the Yonbi and Gobi, Son Goku and Kokuo, without killing them and send them to Yami as ordered by her. Not believing him of course, Han and Roshi attacked Naruto and the girls.

The steam was scalding and the rivers of lava had them sticking to either the trees and/or air until they could formulate a plan. They endured the heat for fifteen minutes until Tifa pulled the most craziest stunt no human could ever achieve: she ran across the river of hot, boiling lava WITHOUT chakra and dropkicked the hell out of Roshi, stunning him for a bit, but the surprise assault was enough for the others to start counterattacking.

Naruto used Wind Style: Great Breakthrough to clear the area of Han's steam while Tifa punched a hole in the ground, with the lava flowing into it to reveal the scorched earth beneath. Roshi was about to attack again when Morrigan used her tentacle-wings to lift the Lava-user into the air to take him out of play temporary.

Han went on the offensive with his Steam Armor and charged at them, with Naruto, Naruko, Azumi, and Tifa countering him with coordinated melee attacks. They had problems, but they managed to distract Han long enough for him to trigger Shigure's trap she set up, trapping him in steel wire before Sheena's Mystic Arte, Quasi Seal, engulfed and stunned him. Naruto, Naruko, and Yukikaze then surrounded him, with Yukikaze hitting Han with a chi blast from behind and Naruto and Naruko incapacitating him with a Double Hiraishin Rasengan each, knocking him against a tree and breaking it upon impact.

Then, Morrigan slammed Roshi down with her Vector Drain piledriver. Roshi tried to lash out with a Lava Style jutsu, but Shigure's ninja tools interrupted his handsigns. He then evaded Tifa's Final Heaven punch, but ran right into Azumi's Torn Sky Blast, with Naruto knocking him out with a Hazama-style high kick, sending him soaring through the air. When he came back down, Naruto blasted him with the Rikudou Fuin Kai Jutsu, and extracted a red orb as Roshi fell down. Naruto then turned his attention towards Han who was getting up, and used Hiraishin to close the distance, using the Rikudou Fuin Kai Jutsu on him as well, and extracted a white orb from his body. Both now former Iwa Jinchhuriki were now severely weakened just like Gaia was due to the extraction, and the orbs formed into two figures.

Son Goku formed into a mini version of her Yonbi form before transforming into an adult woman with ankle-length light mallow hair with black markings on her bangs, yellow eyes with white irises, a curvaceous figure with tan skin, and wearing a small orange tanktop with a dark blue undershirt beneath, a red belt, and orange baggy pants with no footwear. The most noticeable aspect of the undershirt was how it seemed to have an opening going through the center allowing her chest to appear bare if not for the tanktop concealing her.

Kokuo formed into mini version of her Gobi form before transforming into a mature looking young woman with long waist-length white hair with shorter bangs in a hime style with light brown at the end of her hair and bangs, dark blue-green eyes, a slender figure with pale white skin, and wearing the traditional attire of a miko consisting of a purple hakuma, a white haori with a sash-like belt, and wooden sandals.

Son and Kokuo nearby blasted Naruto and the girls to kingdom come with their respective Bijuudamas until Naruto quickly summoned Yami, who neutralized the attacks and then through her divine presence was able to calm the two Bijuu down.

After explaining the situation, the Bijuu and the now former Jinchuuriki said their goodbyes after the Bijuu did what Shukaku did for Gaia by giving them an extra chakra network with their power.

"Yami-chan, why are the Bijuu giving them their power? Is it because of their bonds with their Jinchuuriki?"

"Precisely, my Avatar. Beside, they'll make great allies for you in the future, as well as the Bijuu once they're settled in. Carry on."

"Right~. Come on, girls."

-Third stop: Takigakure, the Village Hidden by a Waterfall, in a country between the borders of the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth-

Getting the Nanabi couldn't be anymore easier!

Well, kinda, as Team Naruto's mission turned from retrieval mission to complete rescue mission.

While gathering info around the village about the Nanabi Jinchuuriki and learning that she was a kunoichi named Fu, Naruto came along some disturbing information while talking with a relative of a member of the Taki Council, and what made things even worse came after Naruko relayed information that Fu was treated like an animal, lived within the forests of Taki, and had no freewill whatsoever through the use of a seal placed on the spinal column at the base of her neck. It was apparently a stolen Uzumaki clan Juinjutsu used on only the worst of criminals that directly tied into the nervous system of the recipient making it so any direct order must be obeyed under potential threat of pain and even death.

Long story short, the council overruled the current spineless leader of Taki and decreed that she was going to be used as a breeding factory to produce powerful shinobi for the village. The person who came forth with the information was apparently supposed to be the first 'suitor' in the councils ploy and while he was drinking in his excitement at getting his chance to 'tame the beast' he let slip everything. Unfortunately, the blabbermouth wouldn't get the chance as he was then immediately killed by Naruto. Naruto then called upon the girls, and had them spread out to search for Fu.

Several hours later, Azumi found Fu, who attacked her with her favorite spear upon being spotted by her. She's 5'1" tall, has short spiky mint-green hair with an orange clip, orange eyes, chocolate brown skin, a slender figure with a medium C-cup bust, and wearing a short white sleeveless midriff shirt with mesh armor underneath, long white armlets, fishnet shorts and a short white apron skirt over it, and white ninja sandals.

Azumi initially had difficulty with the Nanabi Jinchuuriki until the others arrived to "even" the odds. During the fight, they tried to tell Fu about the village's future plans for her, but she wouldn't believe them, as she had promises and her trust betrayed too many times in the past, as well as the issue with the seal making her immediately attack all those who come to her without using the proper handseal that allowed her to accept orders. Worse yet, Fu's commands were so that she was made to attack any intruders by calling upon Chomei's chakra to aid her.

Despite that, she was no match for Naruto and the girls' teamwork. Yukikaze burned the trees with her Foxfire to ground Fu while Shigure led Azumi and Sheena to harass her to long-ranged attacks. Naruto played defense with his Hardlight Shield against her spear while building up chakra, with Morrigan and Tifa interrupting her critical strikes so Naruto's shield could recharge whenever it shattered.

One Rikudou Fuin Kai Jutsu later after a distraction from Naruko and Chomei is extracted, revealing a young girl with long steel gray hair, yellow eyes, light skin, a petite figure with C-cup breasts, and wearing a simple green dress with her eight wings on her back. Thanks to the Rikudou Fuin Kai Seal, the juinjutsu on Fu was also safely removed, albeit at the cost of Fu being completely immobilized for some time.

Before Yami could be summoned, the group is accosted by Taki shinobi, who were instantly killed by Chomei. The group when ran for it before any other Taki shinobi could intercept them. As they ran, Chomei turned into her Bijuu form and allowed everyone to hop on her back and flew away.

Once they were a ways from Taki, they landed in a village that was recently attacked and still burning. Chomei returned to her human form and as she held a still unconscious Fu close to her, watched as Naruto, Naruko, Yukikaze, Azumi, Sheena, Shigure, Morrigan, Tifa either run or fly around saving the villagers and putting the fires out. Afterwards, there were barely any survivors, and those survivors pinned the blame on one of their own who defended herself with unique crystal powers. Having enough of her own power shunning her, she joined Team Naruto as they left.

It was a young girl named Guren, and she possesses a unique crystal-based bloodline limit. She's 5'3" tall, has light blue hair tied in a spiky ponytail, dark eyes, fair skin, a slender figure with E-cup breasts, and wearing a short teal kimono with a grey turtle neck and short sleeves with a jade-green rope belt around her waist, red shorts, light purple wristbands and navy blue sandals.

After a day of flying, Chomei landed in a town near the border of the Land of Lightning, and after blessing Fu with her power, went with Yami after Naruto summoned her. It was then that the team decided to take a 2-week break in order to integrate Guren and Fu into their team; getting to know them and their abilities.

-Fourth stop: Kumogakure, the Village Hidden in the Clouds, located in the Land of Lightning-

For once during Team Naruto's mission to retrieve the Bijuu, there was no fighting village shinobi or Jinchuuriki.

It was actually quite peaceful.

When the team investigated around Kumo, they were both shocked and surprised to discover that the Jinchuuriki were being treated like normal human beings. Kumo did not follow the other village's ways in how a Jinchuuriki should be treated, deeming it inhuman and unnecessary. Skeptical, Naruto headed to the one person who would make such a thing possible.

A, the Raikage of Kumo; and when they got up to the Raikage Tower to meet him, he wasn't alone.

Arashi and Sayuri were there too, along with a rapping Kumo shinobi.

Unlike the other idiot Kages in the other villages, the Raikage believed that a Jinchuuriki is still a human just like any other human, and should be treated as such. His belief was stronger because his surrogate brother Killer Bee, who was the rapping Kumo shinobi in the room, was a Jinchuuriki; the Hachibi Jinchuuriki.

Arashi and Sayuri however were surprised to see Naruto and his team, and were glad they stopped in Kumo when they were around. They explained the situation to the Raikage and what Naruto's team was in the village for. The Raikage was skeptical himself, due to the fact that they weren't the only ones after the villages' Jinchuuriki.

Just as the Raikage mentioned this fact, Naruto and Naruko suddenly sensed Bijuu-level chakra flaring near the borders of the Land of Lightning and went to investigate.

When they got there, they saw Kumo's other Jinchuuriki, Nii Yugito, getting defeated by two members of Akatsuki: the Zombie Duo Hidan the Jashin Priest and his partner Kakuzu, the multi-heart bounty hunter. Before the two could retrieve the Nibi Jinchuuriki, Naruto, Naruko, Yukikaze, Azumi, Sheena, Shigure, Morrigan, Tifa, Fu, and Guren interfered and ambushed the Zombie Duo, catching them off guard and forcing them to retreat after blasting four of five of Kakuzu's hearts and beheading Hidan, who was still alive and his head and body were grabbed by Kakuzu while retreating.

While they checked up on a tired and weakened Yugito, Naruto uttered an apology before suddenly using Rikudou Fuin Kai Jutsu on Yugito and extracted the Nibi, Matatabi, from her. Naruko and Yukikaze quickly applied healing abilities on a now severely weakened Yugito as Nibi formed into her humanoid form: long wavy dark blackish blue hair with blue cat hair with black tips, a right yellow eye and a left green eye both glowing and with slits, black tribal markings on her light skin and toned body with E-cup breasts, and wearing a tight sleeveless blue top with multiple holes all over it, black shredded jeans, and nothing on her feet. While Matatabi was pissed at what Naruto did, she was happy to be freed, and helped tend to Yugito.

The next day, Killer Bee allowed the Hachibi to be freed without opposition. That and Yami was hovering over a sweating Raikage's shoulder with sickingly sweet smile on her face. While Killer Bee was weakened like the others, he was still fine and well enough to rap much to everyone's annoyance until he was bonked on the head by an irritable Hachibi, Gyuki. She was tall and had a look similar to royalty, with long black hair tied in a ponytail, violet eyes, dark skin with a voluptuous figure with H-cup breasts, and wearing a black corset with a puffy-sleeved short jacket, a miniskirt with a long skirt in the back, and high-heel boots.

The Raikage was bummed to see the two Bijuu go, but was confident in his brother's and shinobi's abilities to get them through into the future. After Gyuki and Matatabi gave Killer B and Yugito a chakra network with their power, they left with Yami, with Matatabi vowing to come back to hang out with Naruto, for she has become quite smitten with him just like Yugito, who requested to join Naruto's group to help them. The Raikage was about to decline when Yugito enforced her request with the dreaded Puppy-Dog Eyes Jutsu that got him to concede, much to her delight.

Afterwards, Arashi used one of his many Hiraishin abilities to teleport Naruto and the girls into Kirikagure in the Land of Water.

End Flashback

-Kirigakure, the Village Hidden in the Mist, located in the Land of Water-

"So, this is the Land of Water. It's quite misty…" Naruto noted before sniffing in the air, "Mixed with the scent of blood."

"According to Arashi-san, there's a civil war being waged here coined as the Bloodline Rebellion. Apparently, the Mizukage sees those with Kekkei Genkai as abominations and wants to wipe them out." Yugito informed her new friends as they walked.

"Which is weird because the Mizukage, Yagura, is a Jinchuuriki like we were, so isn't that a bit hypocritical?" Fu added as the other processed this information.

"In a sense, it is. There's no way someone like that would just up and decide to wipe out those with a bloodline." Naruto agreed.

"Sounds like this Mizukage has been whammied." Tifa noted, making the others look at her strangely, "You know, under the influence of something…or someone…"

"Also sounds like a genjutsu to me, which is also odd considering that this Yagura has a Bijuu in him, who can dispel genjutsu like the others." Azumi pointed out.

"No doubt it's a high-powered Sharingan on par with the legendary Uchiha Madara. Anyone in Konoha you know during your brief time there?" Shigure asked quietly.

"None who I can think of. Since we're making waves with taking the Bijuu and freeing the Jinchuuriki, whoever it is knows we're coming for the Sanbi in Yagura, and will be there waiting."

"How can you be sure, Naruto-san?" Guren asked.

"Because if I was in the suspects shoes, it's what I would do." Naruto responded, "But for now, we'll save the Sanbi for last…"

"And go for the Rokubi." Naruko finished.

"That's the plan." Naruto confirmed, "We just have to find this…Utakata-san first. Morrigan-sensei, can you cover us from the air and let us know if you see anything? That'll be great."

"Sure thing, dearie." Morrigan said, giving Naruto a kiss on his whisker-marked cheek and took to the air.

"I know we're after the Rokubi now, but we should plan on how we're going to retrieve the Sanbi afterwards." Tifa stated with Naruto nodded.

"Simple, Tifa-sensei. We join the rebellion carrying our powers and skill, and end the civil war in one swift stroke." Naruto said with conviction and sniffed the air, "Oh boy…"

"What's wrong, Naruto-sama?" Yukikaze asked, seeing Naruto's eyes wandering with Naruko looking around.

"We are not alone…" Naruto muttered quietly, "Morrigan-sensei?"

"Oh my. It's seems you are what I predicted you would be." Morrigan said playfully, "A regular lady attractor!"

"Ugh, Morrigan-sensei. For once, be serious instead of horny!" Naruto groaned while Morrigan giggled, "Where is this…lady?"

"More like a young woman. She's a quarter mile away. Shall I intercept?"

"Please do. We're stopping here!"

They all came to a halt and got into defensive positions.

"Does Morrigan know who's tailing us?" Azumi asked, with Naruto nodding before they heard a crash followed by a loud scream, "Never mind. It's Naruto-kun's chick magnet ability at work."

"Oh come on! Really?" Naruto complained after facefaulting as Morrigan arrived with their pursuer.

She's a young kunoichi nearly Naruto's age with dirty blond hair, green eyes, fair skin, and wearing a plum kunoichi outfit with a black wrap around her making her bust more pronounced.

"She's cute. I like her." Morrigan said and licked her lips.

"Easily Morrigan-sensei. Now, who are you, and why are you following us?" Naruto asked the kunoichi.

"I'm Hotaru, formerly of the Tsuchigumo clan. Are you the rumored group that are not Akatsuki who are safely removing the Bijuu and sending them away?" she kunoichi asked Hoaru asked.

"What if we were?" Naruto countered with a raised eyebrow as the girl sighed in relief and dropped a bombshell.

"My onii-chan. He's burdened with the Rokubi. I can take you to him. Please save him!"

END OF CHAPTER 05
