Chapter 33 - Uzumaki retrieval mission 1

"So where to first?" asked Naruto as he and Minato had just left the village

"Well a majority of them seem to live in the slums of The village of rain" answered minato

"That's about a week of travel on foot" Naruto said

"At Least I can catch up on what I've missed. How is the kyuubi?" Minato asked

"His name is Kuruma and he hates being called Kyuubi. He says that he is a chakra beast, the strongest of them all. Being called a demon tarnishes his reputation." Naruto replied

"Really? You've gotten that close to him? Well tell him I understand why he did what he did" minato replies

"Tell him I'm sorry for killing him and Kushina" said kuruma as Naruto suddenly appeared in his sewer of a mind

"Kuruma says Sorry for killing you and mom" says Naruto. Minato looks at Naruto with shock, that something called a demon would apologize. He then looked down at his own stomach

"Tell him everything is forgiven" Minato says

"He heard you" Naruto said with a smile

"So Naruto tell me, how strong are you?" Minato asked

"Wow, they must be powerful. That's why I'm here Naruto, I wasn't there for you, but I'm here now. I don't have a lot of time, so starting now I'll teach you everything I know" Minato declared with a smile. Naruto smiles in response

"Really? When I go back, the first thing I'm doing is going to Zabuza, then we'll see who is a brat" said Naruto with a wicked smile

In a Dark and gloomy village that always rained were two people huddled up together in a slum. They were skinny to the bone and cold. "Mommy, I'm hungry" said one of the two. He had red hair and light purple eyes

"I know Akira, but I can't do anything right now." said Akira's mother Hina, as she held onto a baby.

"Are you ok?" Asked Naruto as he stood before the Uzumaki family

"Who are you?" Asked Akira

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, I'm like you. I'm here to help you" Naruto said

"We don't need your help" said Akira's mother

"Kushina? The princess?" asked Hina

"Exactly, believe me when I tell you I'm here to help. I'm on a mission to find every Uzumaki and bring them back to my village and make them of the village clans" Naruto said

"How can we trust you or this village of yours" she asked

"Is your baby sick? Here let me help" said Naruto as he reached his hand out and put it over the baby, a green light came from his hand shining over the baby. 'Even though I am nowhere near as good as Karin, I have still mastered the very basics of healing' thought Naruto "he should feel better now" Naruto said

"Thank you" said Hina as she held the baby tighter, "if you can help us as you say you will, then we'll go with you" Hina responded

"That's wonderful, you should get ready. I know your hungry, I have a lot of instant ramen on me, want some?" Naruto offered

"Yes please" said Akira with his hands open

"Ok" said Naruto as he took out Instant ramen packs and passed it around, he heated up some water with fire style, and together the Uzumakis ate some Ramen. Above them stood Minato who smiled as he was reminded of Kushina

"So close, you made a mistake on the gravity seal, don't forget that the smallest mistakes can result in death" said Minato as he stood in front of Naruto, Minato was teaching Naruto everything he knew about seals. "And you, the space seal is ok, but if you want to be a Seal Grandmaster, it needs to be better" said Minato to Akira. Minato was also teaching Akira seals as he saw that Akira had immense talent for them

"Yes sensei" said both Naruto and Akira as they did a salute. They both then laughed at each other. During all this time Naruto has started to see Akira somewhat like a little brother. In the past six months they have found thirteen more Uzumakis making it fifteen found in total.

"Naruto if you don't master seals in the next year, then I won't teach you sage mode" Minato said

"Ok ok, I'm sorry" said Naruto as he went back to practicing his seals. They were in a forest and had set up tents for everyone, everyone was eating right now. They were all happy to have finally been saved from their life of torment

"Summon jutsu" said Minato as he put his hand on the ground, smoke appeared and two small figures were shown

"Jiraiya boy, wha-MINATO" shouted fukasaku, in shock

"Minato?" Asked Shima

"Yes, I've been reanimated for two years and I've chosen to train Naruto. I want you guys to train him in sage mode please" said Minato

"Reanimated? By who?" Asked Fukasaku

——————————-

"So that's what happened" said Shima as Minato and Naruto explained everything

"If that's the case then yes, we shall teach you the way of the sage young Naruto" declared Fukasaku

"Really? Yes" naruto said with happiness

"Thank you" said Minato

"Well we must be off then, let's go" said Fukasaku

"Wait right now? How about the mission?" Asked Naruto

"Are you sure?" Naruto asked

"Positive" Minato answered

"Well then let's go then old frog sages" said Naruto. And like that they all disappeared leaving Minato by himself.

"I know you can do this Naruto" said Minato

(6 months later)

On gigantic sharp pillar sat Naruto who balanced himself on stone plate, his eyes were closed and when he opened them he had yellow, toad-like irides with orange pigmentation around his eyes

"We have taught you all that we can, you've mastered Sage mode, how to mold sage chakra, frog ku, and sage art" said Fukasaku and Shima

"I'm done already? Wow it only feels like I've been here a few days" Naruto said with a chuckle

"Ummm I'll pass thank you, ill rather go back" said Naruto

"So Naruto you're leaving already huh?" Asked a large orange toad with purple markings around his eyes, mouth and stomach, wearing a blue vest

"Yes Gamakichi, it's time for me to go" said Naruto

"Well don't forget, you can summon us at any time" said Gamakichi

"I won't forget, I promise" Naruto said

"Well it's time for you to be off then Young Naruto" said Fukasaku

"See you guys" Naruto said as he looked at all the toads

"Reverse summoning jutsu" said Shima as she hit the ground, and like that Naruto disappeared in a cloud of smoke
