Chapter 26. Returning To Konoha
Naruto was sitting on the porch of Tazuna's house writing letter for Jiraiya informing him about everything that's happened in the wave country. He is also working on a letter for the fire Daimyo to talk about having the wave be a part of the land of fire along with it being under the Uzumaki clans jurisdiction along with Uzushiogakure so he can rebuild his clans homeland.
As he continued writing the letters Zabuza looked over at him while leaning against one of the support beams for the overhang.
It's been a couple days since the battle of the bridge and they were now just waiting for Zabuza and Haku to get healed enough so they can leave in case any ninja hunters found out they are here.
"I have to admit your powerful and in a couple years you'll surpass both your parents if your this strong already" said Zabuza.
I appreciate the compliment Zabuza and it was an honor to fight a member of the seven deadly swordsman" said Naruto as he finished up the letters. He bit his thumb and went through a couple of hand signs before he slammed his hand on the ground and a poof of smoke appeared.
Once the smoke cleared Gamakichi appeared.
"Hey bro what's up?" He said looking at Naruto "ya got any snacks for me?".
Naruto reached into his pocket and handed him two bags of chips "nothing much Gamakichi, I need you to deliver these two scrolls, ones for Toad Jiji and the other is for the fire Daimyo".
"No problem bro" he said as he took the scrolls and the chips and proofed away.
"Huh so those are the infamous toad summons... I thought they were bigger" said Zabuza.
"The battle toads are the ones that get giant but most of the toads get to the size of a small house or smaller" said Naruto as he cleaned up his brush and ink he used for the scrolls.
"Hmm, Kiri isn't well known for summons so I was just curious" Zabuza simply said.
"Really? Didn't they used to have crocodile and shark summons?" Said Naruto.
"Used to, they were lost during the second Shinobi war when my village attacked yours".
"That must've been a painful hit for your village to loose two village summons that have been loyal since before your village was fully formed" said Naruto.
"Indeed it was, but a good amount of the ninja see it as the consequences for attacking your village even though they did absolutely nothing to contribute in the war against us except for a couple individuals who left on their own to help Konoha" said Zabuza.
Naruto just nodded his head and stared off at the water in the distance for a little bit "so what now? We gave you some of the money from Gato's mansion which was enough to pay for you twice".
95% of the money from Gato's mansion went to the wave while the rest went between Zabuza and the two Konoha teams and the money they took was equivalent for five A rank missions.
"Me and Haku will be heading back to Kiri to join the rebellion to help them, with this money it should help them for a little while" said Zabuza.
"I wish you luck then and I hope you and the rebels will be able to free Kiri from this bloody civil war" said Naruto.

It was the next day and they were all leaving, they wished the people of the wave country the best before they left.
After they crossed the bridge Naruto and Zabuza shook hands and Zabuza said something that shocked everyone.
"You sparred my life kid... And because of that I owe you a debt, so if you ever need a sword or someone killed inform me and I'll do it".
"Very well Zabuza but I'd like a spar with you as well next time we meet" he said with a smile.
Zabuza just chuckled before him and Haku left.
The two Konoha teams left as the people of the wave, waved goodbye.
"So what should we name the bridge?" Said Tazuna.
"How about the great Naruto Bridge" said Inari.
"Hahaha I like it!" Yelled Tazuna with a large smile.

After a whole three day travel which would normally be a one day travel they finally arrived at Konoha. They had to keep slowing down or stopping because Sakura didn't have any stamina and because she had to carry her two suitcases and backpack which was stuffed full of clothes and perfumes and stuff.
Fuu and Akane wanted to at multiple points just leave her behind but Yamato and Kakashi didn't let her, even though they wanted to as well.
"I see the gates" said Fuu before she jumped down from the tree she was on and joined the rest of the group.
"Great, I can't wait to get back to working on my more complicated seals and get back to more serious training" said Naruto.
"You Uzumaki and your seals, why can't you just blow everything up and be done with it?" Grumbled Kurama.
"Seals are amazing and not only that but from what Yona told me the civilian council strong armed it's way into the academy and removed sealing and replaced it with a second class of civilian rights class" said Naruto.
"Burn them alive and hang that one eyed fuck by his balls over a fire" said Kurama.
"If I could get away with it I'd do it right now" said Naruto.
They passed through the gates and headed to Hokage Tower and climbed up the stairs before they arrived in Hiruzen's office.
"Ah team 7, team 11, it's so good to see that your mission went successfully, so report.
Kakashi and Yamato went through everything that happened during the mission and had Naruto talk about what he did in Gato's mansion, they then went on to explain how they encountered Kakuzu and almost lost if it wasn't for Naruto showing up in his three tailed state. After he showed up and destroyed a mask Kakuzu ran away giving he lost multiple masks.
They then explained about how after he retreated they helped Zabuza heal and stayed until he was healed enough to travel to help the rebels in Kiri before they themselves left.
"I see... I'm ranking this mission an A rank and all of you shall be receiving A rank pay within the next two days, also you will all get a week off of missions to rest. All of you except for your sensei's are dismissed" said Hiruzen.
Everyone left heading there separate ways, with Naruto, Fuu and Akane they went back to the Uzumaki, Senju compound and before Naruto could even fully open the door he was met with a bone crushing hug by Tsunade.
"Naruto are you ok?" She asked as she started to check over him seeing if he was injured at all.
"Bachan I'm fine I promise" said Naruto trying to calm her down.
After a couple more seconds Tsunade finally relented and sighed "ok.. I'm sorry but I just got worried when I heard it was an A rank mission and you'll be fighting the demon of the hidden mist..".
Naruto couldn't help but smile at his grandma's worry and kissed her forehead "I promise Bachan I'll always come back, I mean what would do if I didn't get to nag you all the time".
Tsunade laughed at that and gave him one more hug before she let them all in.
They all headed into the living room and talked about their journey before the wave and during it and the battle of the bridge.
Tsunade was happy that they were all safe and that they got lots of experience from the mission.
"Oh yeah Tsunade I was wondering if you could help me with my super human strength, I almost got it perfect but I can still feel that I'm just missing something" said Fuu.
"Well since you have the entire week off I can help you, also Akane how goes your medical training?" Said Tsunade.
"It's going great, my chakra control is almost perfect and now I can create chakra scalpels at will and I don't even need to use hand signs, I almost completely memorized the human anatomy and where all the chakra points are along with pressure points" said Akane.
"That's very good, hopefully you'll be a even greater medic than me one day Akane" said Tsunade happily since she now had two prodigy students. Shizune only had experience over Akane, but Akane had chakra reserves over her.
Naruto smiled at seeing them all get along and he stood up "I'm feeling kinda hungry anyone wanna join me at Ichiraku ramen?".
Akane immediately stood up along with Yona and Fuu, everyone else sighed but stood up to join them, when a Uzumaki puts their minds to ramen no force on earth can change their mind except for an angry wife.
They all arrived at Ichiraku ramen and immediately began ordering lots of ramen and Naruto, Akane, Fuu and Yona began wolfing down the ramen like a starving man in a all you can eat buffet.
Naruto was on his 40th bowl when a cat masked Anbu appeared "Naruto-sama, Dragon-sama has requested your presence".
"Aww.. fine I'm on my way" said Naruto.
Before Neko could say anything Naruto body flickered away "um... He doesn't know where he is..".
"Actually he does, your talking about Naruto here, he basically knows where everything is in the village, including Anbu headquarters" said Tsunade.
Neko stared at her for a couple seconds before she left to try and find him since there was no way he knew where Anbu headquarters was.

Dragon just finished signing a document when he saw his door open and a certain red head walk in.
"Ah Naruto-san it's good to see you, so I guess what Hokage-sama said is true and you do where Anbu headquarters is" said Dragon.
"It's quite useful knowing where everything is" said Naruto.
"Indeed.. now I'd like to finally talk about that business deal we made a while ago" said Dragon.
Naruto nodded his head and sat down on the chair Infront of Dragon.
"All the Anbu that know Fuinjutsu are level 3 with our highest one being me a level 4 sealer, any higher grade seals we get are bought from Jiraiya-sama, because of that we have very few seals and can only make so many since none of us are true seal masters.
I'd like you to become our chief seal maker, we'll pay you of course for them" said Dragon.
"I don't have any problems with that, what kind of seals are you looking for?" Said Naruto.
"Level 3 up to 6 explosive notes, prisoner seals, storage scrolls, booby trap seals, blood seals, barrier seals, death seals and chakra storage seals" said Dragon.
"Hmm those would be pretty easy to make, it will take me a day or two to make a large amount of them even with my clones" said Naruto.
Dragon smiled under his mask "well that is good to hear, I look forward to our business deal then Naruto-san".
"As do I Dragon".

In the fire Daimyo's palace the fire Daimyo was reading the scroll that Naruto sent him and a small smile appeared on his face as he finished reading it.
"Your making things far to easy Naruto, far to easy" he said as he grabbed his own scroll and began writing on it "now I just hope Tsunade doesn't kill me for this letter in writing her".
On the scroll it showed an arranged between Naruto and his granddaughter Kayo.
"The elemental nations shall see the very first Shogun in a couple years as long as everything goes well" he said.
