Naruto: Ultimate swordsman by Isom

Chapter 14: Alliances, weapons, and a starting Battle

Team 7 stayed for a few more days after saving Gaara. They were thrown a huge party. As soon as they got back Naruto was whisked away by Temari and the two weren't seen for hours. When they finally got back Naruto had a huge smile on his face and Temari was limping.

After that and making sure Gaara was okay the team headed back to Konoha.

Meanwhile back in Konoha....

"So what is this whole thing about Naruto?" Tsuande asked.

Our favorite blonde had called her and Jiraiya to them.

"Baa-chan," Naruto said, "I think we're going to need to be a lot stronger if we're going to fight these Akatsuki guys. We managed to kill one of them, but we still have a lot more to fight. Plus something's not right.""What do you mean?" the elder blonde asked.

"I was going over my dad's notes of sealing," Naruto said, "According to that it would normally take a few days to take a demon from a seal and transfer it into something else. It took them a few hours. They must have found a way to speed up the sealing process. Plus we still have to worry about Danzo.

"What are you getting at Naruto," Jiraiya asked.

"An alliance," Naruto said, "between us and all the other villages."

Tsunade stared at the blonde like he was insane.

"Are you crazy?" Tsunade asked, "Kumo is still mad at us for the Hyuuga incident, Iwa is still mad at us for what your father did to them, and who knows what all the other villages think."

"Don't worry Baa-chan," Naruto said avoid a punch from the blonde, "We all have a common enemy so I think they will listen to reason. If not well all we lose is an alliance. Hopefully it won't be too bad of an idea.""Okay Naruto," Tsunade said after a few minutes of thought, "I'm going to send messages to the kages requesting their audience with their Jinchuuriki. Call Suna too. Temari and Kankouro may need some new tools.""Got it Baa-chan," Naruto said as he avoided a punch to the face again, "Now ero-sennin what can you tell me about the kages and the current jinchuuriki.""Well," Jiraiya said, "The new Kage of mist is Mei Terumi. She supposedly is able to use both Lava Style and Boil Style. Their current Jinchuuriki is dead, but the demon, the Three tails went missing. It should manifest again in about a year or so. The Yondaime Raikage is named A. The Two Jinchuuriki of his village is Yugito Ni, the jailer of Two tails, and Kirabi, the holder of the Eight tails. The Sandaime Tsuchikage is named Onoki. According to my network, despite his age, he is incredibly strong and is able to use Dust Style. The Jinchuuriki with him are Roushi, the jailer of the Yonbi, and Han the holder of the Gobi."

"Okay," Naruto said, "So what about the others?""The one in waterfall was taken," Jiraiya said sadly, "So were the six and seven tails.""Dang," Naruto said, "Okay only send a note to the kages who still have Jinchuuriki, Kiri, and Suna. Tell them to come to the village. Tell them it's urgent.""Where are you going?" Tsunade asked the boy.

"I've got work to do," Naruto said heading home.

With that Tsuande set to work on what to right.

Later in Iwa...

"Tsuchikage-sama!" an ANBU said as he walked in, "A letter for you."

The Tsuchikage was an old man with a big red nose a triangular beard and moustache with angular corners. He had rectangular shaped eyebrows and had no hair except some white hair on the back and the sides of his head, the back of which was tied with a yellow ribbon into a topknot. He wore a unique green and yellow coat with a red collar. If you could see underneath it you could see an Iwa flak jacket.
