naruto: the shogun unchained

chapter 2: new faces

several months past and the villages have begun to notice the disappearance of young naruto and they seem to be quite pleased by the prospect that is except for two kunoichi who learned exactly who naruto was yugao knew he was the kyubi but the information told to her by the hokage made her truly regret what she did and anko who didn't know about the kyubi the only adult in the village who didn't know felt even worse the boy wasn't a pervert he was just hiding in fear

naruto himself had been training nonstop with his four new companions to master his new powers and he was almost done at least unlocking what his body could master at the moment he had shiro's stage zero and he could use stage one for five minutes before he couldn't he could use the arondight with no real problems he could access both his noble phantasms but he couldn't use the master excalibur to it's fullest yet since his body couldn't take it

he mastered two tails of the kyubi's chakra which he funnels into his grimoire to make the kyubi blade kitsune he is always also pouring kyubi's chakra into his grimoire in what he calls the reserve chapter an ability the grimoire has to story energy and or items for future creations in fact he didn't just power the kyubi's chakra but he power the magic power he attained from zydreos and the spiritual power he attained from shiro he always said just in case

as he trained he also explored the forest of death with his grimoire at the ready in case he needed a weapon what he instead found was girl all alone in the forest she wore a white yukata with an extremely long red and gold obi sash around her waist

"why are you here" i asked she looked up at me and i saw her sad eyes they told me she had been abandoned

"i don't know after i was cast out i suddenly ended up here" she responded

"i'm sorry" i said

"make me yours" she said

"i'm sorry" i said confused and so she explained exactly what occured i wasn't even shocked considering what i had learned from my companions

"alright i'll name you" i said and she smiled

"You, with nowhere to go and nowhere to return, I grant you a place to belong, my name is naruto, bearing a posthumous name, you shall remain here, with this name, I make thee my servant, with this name and it's alternate, I use my life to make thee a regalia, thou art suzume, as regalia meki, come meki" i chanted as she shined brightly and appeared in my hand as a sleek black blade

"revert, suzume" i said there was another bright flash and i saw the kanji for suzume or sparrow on the back of her right hand she stared lovingly at the kanji 

after that suzume watched as new master trained

meanwhile as naruto was training four individuals entered konoha three girls two of them appearing no older then seven the last girl looked to be in her twenties which is amusing since she was still only four years old and man who was most definitely an adult later thirties at least they immediately went to the hokage tower

"what can i do for you four" the hokage asked the very clear warriors in front of him

"we are looking for the uzumaki we know he is here" the man answered coolly

"technically he's not but why do you want him" he asked

"he is kushina's son" the man asked

"your tatsuya uzumaki head of the uzumaki branch family and kushina's brother" hiruzen said connecting the dots his appearance spoke wonders and the fact he used kushina's name so casually as if they were close also gave it away and lastly the fact that while she was alive she would talk alot about her badass big brother often the only reason why he was head of the branch family was the he specifically stepped down and asked to be head of the branch family while his little sister became clan head

"yes i am" tatsuya said

"i cannot wait any longer i must find my bonded" the mature looking woman said leaving the office in a hurry tatsuya sighed

"i knew it was coming you have waited long enough anyway" tatsuya said to the girl who had already left

"what does she mean bonded" hiruzen asked

"clan secret i'm afraid" he said

"i am seriously getting tired of hearing the words clan secret" hiruzen grumbled

"well i will wait outside the tower misaki will bring naruto to me eventually and i begin his true training as next head of the uzumaki clan" tatsuya said hiruzen noted the word true as if he knew about naruto's tenants which he guessed was probable since naruto did call it a clan secret he may have actually been telling the truth and it was a secret of the whole clan and not simply a secret of naruto's

returning to our young blond hero who was training his swordsmanship following shiro's instructions on the matter when he heard huffing

"i really hate this form sometimes" she muttered so quietly no one heard her she stood straight and stared at naruto and smiled

"it's good to finally meet you my partner of heart and mind" she said smiling
