Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here will be another timeskip at the beginning showing all the progress Naruto has made in completing his plan of a world ruled by magical creatures. So, without further ado.

I own nothing

'To think, just four years ago, this place was nothing but ruins.' Naruto thought as he gazed out at the fully rebuilt Uzushiogakure.

Four years have passed since he freed the Uzumaki that were held prisoner in Kiri. Since then, Naruto has made great progress in his plan for a world ruled by magical creatures.

After freeing the Uzumaki, they had gone to Kiri and slaughtered everyone there, both civilian and Ninja alike, every man, woman, and child; no one was spared. Once Kiri had been purged, Naruto had taken his clansmen back to Uzushio to recuperate from their time as prisoners, it a took a couple months, but eventually they were all back at perfect health.

Once they were ready, Naruto then lead them and his Shade Demons into freeing the Uzumaki captured by Iwa and Kumo; killing all the guards and freeing everyone, before bringing them back to Uzushio. With all the Uzumaki freed, Naruto turned his attention to tracking down the remaining magical creatures and bringing them back to Uzushio as well. It took some doing, especially since some of them had lost faith in the Uzumaki being there to protect them, but after seeing Naruto's power and hearing of his plan, they were all eager to join him to get revenge on the humans for their destroyed homes, as well as their fallen friends and family.

With all the Uzumaki and magical creatures were safely transported to Uzushio, they had set about rebuilding the village, making it better than it ever was. The island had been massively expanded, while the terrain and environment was altered to suit the different magical creatures; now including forests, tundra's, deserts, mountains, underground tunnels, even underwater sections.

The island's defenses had also been upgraded through Fuinjutsu and spells, including a dense fog, laced with Chakra and magic, that now surrounded the natural whirlpool defenses, making it impossible to see where one was going, along with negating any Dojutsu-users.

"I never thought I'd get to see Uzushio in my life." Someone said from behind Naruto.

Looking behind, Naruto gained a small smile when he saw it was Erza walking up and stood next to him.

Four years of freedom have done wonders for her, both in her looks and her strength.

Her attire now consisted of a dark blue miniskirt, black boots that went up to below her knees, and armor covering he upper body and arms. The armor was a rounded single-piece pauldrons with a breastplate and a fused collar with a heart shaped opening in the upper part of the chest displaying plenty of cleavage while the collar and the lower part of the breastplate have a layered design. The upper arms are protected by a rerebrace followed by a pair of curved elbow guards and then a pair of gauntlets extending up to her elbows. It also has a removable cape with wave patterns on its end and the Uzumaki symbol at the center, a belt on its waist and a pair of poleyn protecting her knees followed by a pair of greaves and sabatons.

She had grown into a beautiful and powerful woman; one Naruto was proud to call one of his mates. Yes, Erza was one of Naruto's mates, he had several, but Erza was the first.

"I had heard about what it used to look like, but I never thought that I'd get to see it with my own eyes." Erza said, while looking at the village.

She was one of the Uzumaki born in the prisons, and thus never saw her clan's village and resigned herself to only hearing about it from the older Uzumaki after hearing it was destroyed. But now she was seeing it for the first time, and she loved it, even more so with her mate beside her.

"And what do you think?" Naruto asked, while looking at her.

Erza looked at hm and smiled before kissing him.

"Amazing, even better with present company." Said Erza, with Naruto smirking at her words, before looking back to the village.

With the village rebuilt, they also needed to find a steady stream of income, which was solved by having several magical creatures go out into the world, disguised as mercenaries and Ronin. This doubled as not only supplying Uzushio with money, but also keeping them updated on any current events happening in the rest of the world and locating any other Uzumaki that managed to escape being captured or killed.

All of this was thanks to Naruto's leadership, restoring his clan's inner fire, no pun intended, and returning them to what they once were. Naruto also earned their respect as he was always there on the frontlines whenever they rescued their imprisoned clansmen and magical creatures, which lead to him being named as the Uzumaki Clan Head and proclaimed as the Dragon King by all the magical creatures.

In fact, Naruto was the first Dragon King in existence, as the Uzumaki never felt the need to have a king, but now they do.

"You should be proud, not many can say they've done all that you have in such a short amount of time." Erza commented, with Naruto smiling in appreciation.

"Perhaps. But we still have a long way to go before we can overthrow humanity, even with the Land of Water now under our control." Naruto stated, while smirking as he brought that up.

Originally, Naruto had simply wanted to put all of Water Country and its people to the fire, but he had ultimately decided against it; seeing an opportunity to use it to his advantage.

Through the use of Illusion Magic, Genjutsu, and Fuinjutsu-based Genjutsu, they had been able to cover up Kirigakure's destruction and convert it, along with the Land of Water as a whole, into their territory; with the land now inhabited by the Uzumaki clan and magical creatures, mostly water-based ones who were right at home in the ocean, lakes, and mist covered forests.

While it would have been amusing to watch the power-vacuum that would result from the destruction of one of the Five Great Nations, likely leading to another Great War and humanity simply wiping itself out, it would only work in the short-term and cause more problems when they still had to find any scattered Uzumaki and magical creatures.

But now with Kiri under their control, they not only had another supply income, but a legitimate position of power in the world, all while hiding in plain sight.

Naruto was pulled from his reminiscing when Erza put a hand on his cheek and pulled him into a rather steamy kiss, practically shoving her tongue into his mouth.

Not one to deny his beautiful mate, Naruto eagerly responded to the kiss while putting his hands on her hips and squeezing her ass. Lifting her up, Erza wrapped her legs around his waist, as they started removing each other's clothing.

But unfortunately, they were interrupted by someone clearing their throat.

Breaking their kiss, Naruto and Erza turned to look at who interrupted their fun, with Naruto smirking slightly when he saw who it was.

An adult woman with black hair going just past her shoulders, wearing a revealing black French maid outfit with red trimming, showing her fully mature and voluptuously body. Two interesting things though was the black collar with the Uzumaki symbol on the front and her pupiless pink eyes.

It was the Iwa Kunoichi who had helped kidnap and nearly raped Naruto all those years ago, and unintentionally set all of this in motion.

"Dear Ayane-chan… can't you see I'm busy!" Naruto growled with his smirk vanishing, replaced by a scowl.

"Naruto-sama, the acting Mizukage wishes to see you. He said it was important." Ayane said, with her voice filled with fear and disdain.

Naruto rolled his eyes to the fact she's still showing signs of resistance. The collar wasn't just for show, having seals on it, forcing Ayane to do everything he or his mates ordered her to do, preventing her from taking it off, and keeping her from attacking him, his mates and anyone else, or betraying them, in anyway. Sure, he could have just put on a seal to turn her into a mindless puppet that lived to please him, but where would the fun be in that.

This way he gets to watch her resistance and hope of escape fade away day by day, until finally she's completely broken. Though Naruto won't touch her until after she's broken and comes to him willingly.

Naruto will gladly admit he's slaughtered hundreds of humans, but he's not a rapist.

'Hm, it's a shame she had to kidnap and try to rape me, along with being born human. If it was a magical creature, I'd find her strong willpower very attractive. But now, it's only going to be that much sweeter when she breaks.' Naruto thought, before giving Erza a peck on the cheek.

"Sorry to cut things short, but I promise to make it up to you." Naruto whispered in Erza's ear, while giving her ass a firm squeeze, getting a moan from the redhead.

Smirking at that, Naruto went onto the balcony and transformed into his dragon form before taking flight to Kiri.

Watching him fly off, Erza sighed at being left all hot and bothered, making her glare at Ayane for interrupting them, unfortunately she can't punish her for doing her job.

'But there are other ways to punish someone without hurting them.' Erza thought smirking.

"Let's go, we're going to visit Himari-chan." Erza ordered.

If she can't get any satisfaction from her mate, then she'll settle for her fellow harem sister with Ayane being forced to watch.

*With Naruto*

It didn't take long before Naruto arrived at Kiri and headed for the Mizukage Tower. Landing on the balcony, returning to his human form, and entered the office, where he took the time to look around.

The Mizukage's office was much larger than the Hokage's office, from what little Naruto remembered of it, being comparable to a hallway with the Mizukage's desk at the very end, opposite to the door at the other end. On either side of the corridor were mini canals of water, with waterfalls built into the walls, and stone statues and pillars placed in the water. Though now the water all had a layer of ice covering it, allowing the water to still flow, but lowering the temperature considerably. It wasn't surprising, given who was acting Mizukage.

"Toshiro." Naruto called out, getting the acting Kage's attention.

"Hello cousin." Toshiro greeted, standing up from his desk as the two Uzumaki shook hands.

Toshiro Uzumaki was another Uzumaki that Naruto had freed, he was also a very powerful Ice Dragon. This allowed him to pose as a Yuki Clan member, with the said clan being extinct, and helping to sell the façade that he was from Kiri, making him the perfect person to act as the Mizukage.

Toshiro was rather short in height, with ice turquoise eyes, short snow-white hair that spiked up, pale skin, and wearing the standard Mizukage attire.

"You had something important to tell me?" Naruto asked while leaning against a pillar, Toshiro nodding and grabbing a letter before tossing it to Naruto.

"Yes, the Chunin Exams will be starting soon and Kirigakure has been chosen as the host village. I wanted to know if you think we should accept or not." Toshiro said, knowing such a decision had an equal amount of pros and cons.

Naruto frowned in thought at this. The Chunin Exams, a time where Genin from all the different villages gather together in a single place to decide who is worthy of being promoted to Chunin. It would be dangerous and risk the chance of someone slipping up, or if one of the visiting Genin found out something they shouldn't, revealing who's really in control of Kiri.

But it also allowed them the opportunity to learn more about their enemies and eliminate any potential threats to them in a legal setting with no fear of retaliation, as it wouldn't be that strange if Genin died, or went missing, during the Exams.

Plus, if worse came to worse, Naruto's sure he can kill the visiting Kages, with some underhanded methods, and simply watch the proceeding fireworks of the villages falling apart without their leaders.

Seeing there were more pros than cons to this, Naruto looked at Toshiro.

"Accept the offer, we'll gain more by Kiri being the host village and learn more about our enemies, seeing how strong their Genin are." Naruto said.

"Very well and I'll send the letters out immediately." Replied Toshiro, leaving to do just that.

Once Toshiro left, Naruto looked out the window with a dark smirk on his face.

Looks like deciding to spare Kiri was proving to be a better decision than he ever thought possible.

After wiping out all the previous occupants of course.

'Wonder if there will be any Kunoichi Genin worth keeping.' Naruto thought.

His mates always say they'd enjoy having nice toys to play with.

*Timeskip-Four Day*

*Konoha-Hokage's Office*

'So, Kiri has accepted being the host village for the Chunin Exams. Guess they've gotten back to a decent strength level since the Civil War ended.' Minato thought while looking over the message.

Nodding, Minato pulled out all the files on the Genin that he's thinking of sending to compete.

Four files consisted of the new Genin teams that have only just graduated recently, two of which being Minato's own sons Menma and Boruto. Pulling out his son's files specifically, Minato frowned as he looked at them before letting out a sad sigh.

"Where did we go wrong?" Minato said out loud as he looked out his office window, wondering just how things got so bad for his family.

Eleven years have passed since his third son, Naruto, went missing. Minato and Kushina were ashamed and filled with self-loathing to admit that they hadn't even noticed Naruto was missing for two weeks, two weeks they didn't notice one of their children was missing.

They didn't realize Naruto was missing until the pranks they believed Naruto pulled still happened, only to find him nowhere in the compound or the entire village. Deciding to investigate, Minato had all Anbu be on the lookout for anyone pulling any pranks, or causing trouble, and to bring them straight to him no matter who they are.

So, the parents were reasonably surprised when Neko showed up with Menma and Boruto, who were throwing paint-filled balloons at people from the rooftops.

This had led to several reveals that only served to increase their shame and showed the parents just how little they knew about their own children.

*Flashback*

"Alright, I'm only going to ask this once and I better get the truth, or so help me you won't like the consequences. Now, were you two the ones pulling all those pranks that you told us Naruto did?" Minato asked, as he and Kushina stood in front of Menma and Boruto, who were sitting on the couch in the living room.

"Yeah." Menma said without any shame or regret, with Boruto nodding in agreement.

The parents were shocked at the blatant admittance and the fact they didn't look regretful at their actions.

"So, all those times you said Naruto was a troublemaker, you were lying?!" Demanded Kushina, while glaring at her sons.

"Yeah, but so what, the loser should be grateful we actually had a use for him. He didn't have magic or Chakra; all he was good for was being a human shield for his betters. Just like all those other weaklings." Boruto said, much to Minato and Kushina's shock, even more so when he said "others"

"What do you mean 'others'?!" Minato questioned.

"Like bro said, all those other weaklings we put in their proper place. Like that bitch, Satsuki Uchiha, since she's from a clan of traitors and we made sure she didn't forget it." Menma said while scowling, since they had mostly bullied Satsuki because she kept refusing their advances, her being an Uchiha was only part of the reason.

"Or that loser Yakumo, who thinks she can become a Ninja! HA! As if that weakling could become Ninja!" Boruto laughed, remembering when they attacked Yakumo for being born with a weak body.

Minato and Kushina could only look at their sons in horror, as they happily admitted to bullying several other children, one of whom being the daughter of one of Kushina's best friends; and what's worse, they didn't even look regretful or guilty about it.

They looked proud!

Not wanting to hear anymore, Kushina did something she never thought she'd do to her own children.

*SMACK*

*SMACK*

"BOTH OF YOU, GO TO YOUR ROOMS RIGHT NOW!" Kushina shouted, while glaring at the boys who held their stinging cheeks.

"You can't do that!" Menma retorted, only to immediately wilt under Kushina's glare.

"The hell I can't! If you both aren't in your rooms in the next five seconds, so help me Kami, I'll seal away your Chakra networks and Magic so tightly, you'll be lucky to summon a regular clone! NOW GO!" Kushina yelled.

The two couldn't run up the stairs fast enough.

*End Flashback*

Minato and Kushina had been sick to their stomach after learning how twisted their sons are and getting confirmation from the children they bullied as well. They had grounded them both, placing seals on their doors and windows so they couldn't sneak out.

After that, Minato had organized the Anbu to find Naruto, searching every single nook and cranny in the Senju Compound, the entire village, all the Training Grounds, including the Forest of Death, and the surrounding area, only to come up emptyhanded. Believing Naruto had run away or had been kidnapped, a search party was formed consisting of Kakashi, Hiashi, Tsume, Shibi, and Inoichi to track him down.

They followed Naruto's scent from a Training Ground to outside the village, near the Fire/Grass border; the Country that acted as the barrier between the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth. Near there, they found the rotting corpses of two Iwa Shinobi with Shibi and his insects, along Tsume and Kuromaru getting the scent of a third one, a Kunoichi from her scent. They also had Naruto's scent as well, showing he had been kidnapped, but something else as well, something that made Shibi's insects as well as Tsume and Kuromaru feel uneasy of whatever else they sensed was there.

This combined with signs of fire damage and how the Iwa Ninja were quite literally torn apart made them realize someone, or something, had gotten to them before they could reach Iwa. Naruto's scent also ended there, meaning he had been captured by this unknown third party, who managed to mask his scent, or he was killed, and his body was destroyed.

With no other choice, Minato had to call off the search since they had nothing else to go on.

'Kushina was never the same after we returned.' Minato thought sadly.

She still got up every day, talked with people, hung out with friends, took missions, fixed food, but everything she did… it sometimes felt like Minato was looking at a life-like puppet than his wife.

Kushina hid it but she never forgave herself for not paying more attention to her children and was stuck in a depression that nothing seemed able to snap her out of. Especially since Kushina knew what happened to her clan, to the Uzumaki captured by Iwa, Kumo, and Kiri; and yet she allowed her own son to be captured to suffer that same fate.

All because she believed he was a troublemaker trying to get attention.

Menma and Boruto have also gotten worse, as with their exposure they no longer hid their true selves behind a mask of kindness and being "Konoha's Princes", now they openly bullying anyone they saw as beneath them. Their attitudes have also gotten worse, with them being brought to Minato numerous times for vandalizing shops, Clan Compounds, and even caught stealing. This lead to the villagers no longer treating them with the same attention and respect, which in turn made them act out even more, believing they were being robbed of the attention they deserved.

Also, tension between the village and the Uchiha Clan got even worse as well, when it was discovered the Hokage's sons were bullying the Clan Head's youngest daughter. It even lead to Itachi and Shisui no longer acting as moles in the clan. Heck, Itachi had even looked ready to go and murder Boruto and Menma.

The fact he had his Mangekyō Sharingan activated the entire time as well did nothing to ease the Hokage.

Thankfully Minato was able to prevent a coup by returning all the Uchiha Clan's political power that Tobirama stripped away when he became Hokage, moving the Uchiha Compound back into the village, uncensoring all the acts and feats the Uchiha have done for Konoha, and donating a generous sum of money to the Uchiha clan from the village's funds. But even with all that, there was still tension, only now Minato didn't have to worry about the village falling into a civil war, especially now that Itachi and Shisui were firmly with their clan.

Minato was pulled from his musing when his chest suddenly compressed tightly as he coughed into his hand.

Looking at it, Minato grimaced when he saw the blood on his hand.

'And to top it all off, this illness.' Minato thought, while wiping the blood away.

Nobody knew how, but one day Minato just suddenly got really sick with an unknown illness. They didn't know what it was, not even Tsunade, and they didn't know how to cure it. Even worse was the fact that the disease was terminal as well. Minato was only alive and still able to function thanks to a medicine Tsunade made, that was keeping the illness in check, but eventually it'll catch up to him.

'Is this the gods punishing us? For ignoring two of my sons being arrogant bullies, while not paying attention to the third one, leading to him either being held captive somewhere or dead in a ditch?' Minato mentally wondered as he took out his medicine.

Whatever it was, Minato doubted it was the end of his troubles, and in fact, it was probably just the beginning.

So, what did you think, good. Yep, Naruto has freed all the imprisoned Uzumaki, united all the remaining magical creatures, rebuilt Uzushiogakure, and now controls Kirigakure. He has made great progress in just four years, and he now has several mates as well, Erza being among them, and the Chunin Exams are coming up with them taking place in Kiri this time around. We also get a look into what's been happening in Konoha since Naruto's disappearance and it's nothing good. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.

Storm out
