Chapter 59 - A Week with Naruto Part 1

Ishizu was fighting with Denku as a message came in. The disturbance of the other panda caused made Ishizu to get hit by Denku in the stomach.

"Never let your opponent out of sight even if you see something else or you will die."

Ishizu stood up and looked at the panda: "I have news from the whiskers boy, apprentice Sage. He wishes to speak to you," said the messenger.

Ishizu nodded.

"I think we had enough for today Ishizu-kun. I have a date with some delicious red wine.

I will tell Sage Po that you will go to see him, right?"

"Yes. See ya, Denku."

With that, Ishizu went to his home to prepare himself.

It was some time ago since Naruto needed help, so Ishizu prepared himself for any kind of danger.

Focusing on the seal he had on Naruto, Ishizu teleported away.

"Do you think it is a good idea to interrupt his training, Naruto?" asked Jiraiya.

"Oh, I know that Ishizu-sensei can't train 24/7. Not even he can think about training all the time.

The only ones that can are Guy and Lee.

Besides, I want to spend some time with him.

With me gone, you will have no one who can annoy you about your book.

So it's a win-win situation."

The Fuinjutsu Naruto prepared, activated, and Ishizu appeared inside of it.

"You have the best timing, Naruto. Any longer and Denku would cripple me. I own you one," said Ishizu.

Naruto shook his sensei's hand.

"So Ishizu-san, now that Naruto has summoned you to have a week off, what are you going to do?" asked Jiraiya, curious where Ishizu would take Naruto.

He wanted to know the place because he feared Akatsuki would attack them if they went to a sizeable village.

It was Naruto who answered.

"It is my decision where we are going and I will not tell you.

It's a secret, but it is a place where the Akatsuki won't find us.

I will only tell Ishizu. Now leave us alone and find an open bath to peek at women.

Your book doesn't write on your own, Ero-sennin."

Jiraiya walked away grumbling about elders and respect.

Ishizu looked at Naruto because he had also no idea where Naruto wanted to go.

"So where do you want to go? The elemental nations are large, but we have an entire week.

With our speed, we could travel anywhere you want."

Naruto took out a map and pointed at a marked X.

The X was located on the east of the land of fire.

A place Ishizu knew but never visited because there were only ruins.

"I have read that Uzushiogakure was on the far east of the Land of Fire. I want to see the place where my clan was from," explained Naruto.

Ishizu thought for a moment but agreed to help Naruto.

He could probably get nothing out of it as Uzu, although destroyed, was covered in seals.

Even now those seals could activate and kill you.

So he agreed under the condition that they could later search for the Hidden Waterfall Village.

Ishizu wanted to take some chakra from Chomei and maybe take Fu with him so Akatsuki wouldn't kill her.

With that, both of them ran to Uzu.

During the time they ran, Ishizu asked Naruto how far he was with his training.

Naruto explained that he only started training in Sage Mode.

It would take him more time before he could fully do it. His Fuinjutsu was ok but not near the level of Ishizu and Jiraiya.

No doubt if Naruto found some knowledge in Uzu he would be better than both of them.

After a few hours, they reached the water.

"We either run or get a boat, but I would suggest we ran to shorten the time," suggested Ishizu.

Naruto agreed.

"Naruto, be careful. I read that Uzu is surrounded by whirlpools and if you fall into one, you will most likely not come out alive."

It took two hours of constant running to reach the first whirlpool. Avoiding them, they reached the ruins of Uzu.

"So, this remains of my mother's home," Naruto said as he looked at the ruins that once were a major village.

What was once a significant village that could rival any of the others, was nothing more than a ghost town.

"This happens if you grow too strong and others see you as a threat. They combine and fight you to balance the world," spoke Ishizu.

'This is also the reason I don't want to show others my true strength and my goals so something like Uzu won't happen to me.'

"Let us go Ishizu-sensei. Maybe we can find something in these ruins."

As they stepped on land, Naruto ran off like someone has found a new toy.

Ishizu didn't chase after him but walked calmly around, his Rinnegan activated, to see if any barriers were intact.

And look and behold, there was one small chakra fluctuation that got Ishizu's attention.

'So they couldn't get everything out of Uzu? I wouldn't believe that the 3 villages could take everything from a village that specialized in seals.'

Ishizu stepped into a burned house and looked at a stone wall. To a normal person, it would look like a normal wall, but Ishizu's Rinnegan saw a massive seal on it.

Ishizu stepped a few steps away just because he couldn't see the whole seal.

'Holy ****. This is one heck of a seal. Even with the knowledge I have about seals, I can't understand how it works.

Whoever created this type of seal must be a master.

And by a master, I don't mean me or Jiraiya. Hell, I doubt Kushina or Minato could have done such a seal.

The complexity is insane. I wonder how long a person needed to make such a seal.'

Ishizu put his hand on the wall and quickly backed off. He knew that he could destroy the wall with brute force, but his instincts screamed that he would regret it.

Ishizu trusted his instincts and backed off a few more meters.

"Naruto come here. I have found something," shouted Ishizu.

Naruto came in seconds.

"Have you found a treasure? I couldn't find anything. Everything is burned or unreadable."

Ishizu gestured at the wall.

"Touch the wall and tell me what you feel."

Naruto shrugged and went to the wall and touched it. The moment Naruto touched it, he went stiff. Ishizu narrowed his eyes as he observed Naruto, not daring to touch him.

It seemed like Naruto was in a trance.

After almost half an hour passed, Naruto came out of the trance.

"You are back. I was getting worried."

Naruto was silent for a second.

"It felt like I was in the past. I watched how Uzu was attacked by the enemy. I also know what is behind the wall but it seems only I can enter."

Ishizu understood what Naruto meant. The trance was some kind of recording seal, showing the last days of Uzu as well as what is behind the wall.

"This must be a blood seal, am I right? Only those from the Uzumaki clan can enter it."

It shocked Naruto seeing his Sensei coming to the right conclusion.

"Wow Sensei, you are really smart."

Ishizu got a tick mark on his head: "My eyes can see the massive seal placed on the wall. Not even I can comprehend it, but when I touched the wall, I knew that I should stay away from it.

Uzumaki's were masters in blood seals, and this is one masterpiece. So go ahead, I will wait outside. Don't take too long as I want to go to Takigakure."

Naruto nodded, and when he reached the wall again, he passed right through it.
