Naruto stood outside the gateway that would bring them back to the Leaf Village. Alongside him stood Hinata, Setomi as well as Kamatari though they were all looking at the one individual who wouldn't be returning with them, Queen Umeka.

"I am thankful that you were brought into our lives Naruto since you have caused much happiness within my son and have brought us two new members that will help defend the village if it comes to that. As always, you all are welcome back whenever you feel the need though I would like it if my son and future grandchildren would come visit as much as possible." Queen Umeka spoke out.

At the comment about future grandchildren, Naruto and Kamatari both reddened from embarrassment from the veiled comment on their sex life. Though Naruto wanted to say something to the Queen, he was unable to since she once again started to speak. "Hinata, I have prepared scrolls for you that will give you background on our world as well as a spell that will allow you to create your own doorway into the world of Krystal." Queen Umeka informed the Hyuuga before passing along a bundle of scrolls.

Now that everything had been said that needed to be, Queen Umeka turned from the group that was gathered and began to make her descent down towards he village which left the group of four to make their own exit from Krystal.

Naruto was the first to push his way into the glowing vortex, and when he disappeared, the rest followed him.

As usual, the shifting from one world to the other felt as if it happened in the span of a blink. When Naruto and the others appeared within the closet where he had said the doorway up, wanting to ensure that its location wasn't revealed, Naruto slowly opened the door to look inside his room which he found to be empty.

"Everything is clear." Naruto whispered out as he pushed the door the rest of the way open.

Both Kamatari and Hinata followed him out and since Hinata was holding Setomi, Naruto was able to close the closet door without waiting for the three year old to find his way out. When Naruto had secured the door, he started to make his way towards the exit of his room and once again everyone followed after him.

Thankfully, the hallway where they exited the bedroom was empty which allowed them to quickly make it down the steps that led to the main floor of his family home. When they did so, Naruto made a motion for Hinata to exit the door which she did quite quickly though they both knew they would see each other again soon.

When Naruto was sure that Hinata had made it from his family home without alerting anyone that may be inside, Naruto made his way towards the living area which allowed him to start picking up the voices that he were coming from inside it.

"...its been over a week. Maybe Naruto has decided that he would be better of in life without us." the voice of his mother cried out and from the emotion that Naruto could hear within her words, Naruto knew there were tears running down his mother's face.

It broke his heart to think that he had caused his family pain just by leaving for a short time and even though he had left a note informing them that he would be coming back, they must have automatically thought of worst case scenarios.

Naruto started to push farther towards the entrance to the living area and just when he was about to push inside the threshold, another voice broke out. "Kushina, my love. You can't think that every time that Naruto isn't within your eye sight that something bad must have happened. He left us a note telling us that he needed some time to himself and that he would be back as soon as he can. We should trust that our son will follow through with his promise." Minato spoke out.

Naruto was thankful that his father had trust in his judgement and decided that now would be the best time for him to make his appearance. With this thought, Naruto pushed the rest of the way into the living area. Followed by Kamatari though since Naruto had entwined his hand with the other male, there was really no choice but for Kamatari to follow.

It only took a moment for the eyes of those who were within the living area to catch sight of Naruto and immediately he was surrounded by his family which included his soon to be sister-in-law. "Where have you been..." his mother inquired but soon cut herself off when she noticed the hand that was attached to her son's. "...and who is this?" Kushina finished.

When Naruto looked into his mother's eyes he was expecting to see judgement for bring a strange boy home with him though all he saw was curiosity. "I would like to introduce you all to Kamatari Hiro, he is my boyfriend." Naruto informed the four sets of watching eyes and though they must all have many questions for him, Naruto wasn't done with everything he had to say yet. "He comes from a far away land and he will be living with us for now on."

From the look in his eyes, Naruto's family knew that he wasn't going to allow anyone to argue on this point and instead of doing this, his family grasped ahold of both himself and Kamatari and gave them a bone crushing hug.

His return as well as Kamatari's arrival into the Uzumaki-Namikazi compound was celebrated with a feast which lasted for hours. The days activities must have worn Kamatari out since he was already fast asleep in the bed that he now shared with Naruto.

While Kamatari was fast asleep, Naruto felt as if he was wired and since he had time and energy to burn, he decided it would be best if he started to read one of the books that he copied on his trip to Krystal. Pulling out one of the copies, Naruto saw that it was the one that would allow him to learn about the Crystal fields.

Opening the book up, Naruto dove into the first chapter.

Chapter One: The Importance of the Crystal Field

In the world of Krystal, all villages and Clans value the Crystals as a sacred tool for survival. As such, they spend a great deal of time and money in guarding them. If a Clan was too lose it's Crystal Field they would lose honor among their peers since they would look as if they were unable to take care of themselves or the village they served. This has happened in multiple villages throughout the history of Krystal. There have been multiple ways that the Clan had been penalized for this loss though the most harsh is to have Clan status stripped from them which would mean they no longer have a seat on the village's Clan Council.

To help ensure that this doesn't happen to their Clan, they will task a great number of Clan members to guard the fields location as well as cast spells that will alert them to anyone who hasn't been granted authority to walk amongst the field. By doing this the Clan is seen as vigilant in their survival as well as the continued survival of their village.

I hope that everyone who has been reading this history on the importance of the Crystal Fields will recognize the importance before something happens to their own field that would sacrifice their position among the Clan Council.

As Naruto came to the conclusion of the first chapter of the book, he started to feel as if he understood the importance of the Crystal Fields though he now knew that he would have to be vigilant in the protection of his own when he found the tools that would allow him to create his own.

Now that he had finished one of the chapters, he moved onto the next.

Chapter Two: The Creation of a Crystal Field

Since all Clans and villages know of the importance of the Crystal Fields, they have all learned of the techniques to create them in case of the arrival of a new Clan. Though there are many methods that will be discussed in later chapters, the most common is the planting of a Crystal fragment into the ground. Though this alone will not ensure that Crystals bloom within the now sacred ground since you must perform the Seeding Ceremony before any bloom with occur.

The Seeding Ceremony is one where the Clan Head as well as various other members of the Clan will push their own Crystal energy into the fields until enough of the energy has taken root within the ground. Though be warned if you push enough of the energy out, you are putting your own life at risk which is why the Seeding Ceremony is mostly done over a course of three months.

During these three months, the ground will become saturated with Crystal energy that should last for generations to come.

With the last word that was written in the chapter, now read. Naruto was beginning to feel his eyes grown heavy. Knowing that he had plenty of time to read into what he would need to learn, Naruto closed the book and slid it back into his bag. With this done, Naruto snuggled up to his beloved and felt himself drifting off into sleep.

Authors notes: Thank you for everyone who read this chapter. Also, I know that it is a weird way for Crystals to form, but since this is a fiction story I decided that I could do it this way. As always please review and comment on your thoughts on the chapter and I will see you next time.
