Previously on NLHOS:

"We'll face whatever comes," Naruto declared. "Together."

Mei smiled confidently. "To the end."

Ao chuckled. "Just like old times."

-------------{XX}--------------------{XXX}------------------------------{XX}-----------------

Now:

Time flowed like a swift river, and before Naruto knew it, months had passed. The settlements on the Uzu, Swamp and Land of Demon had transformed from a humble refuge into a bustling community. Structures rose from the ground, training fields echoed with the sounds of practice, and the once disparate groups began to meld into a cohesive force.

Naruto stood atop a cliff overlooking the settlement of Uzu it has been three years from the fateful day when he rescued them from the mist, the wind tousling his spiky red hair. He couldn't help but feel a swell of pride—and a hint of disbelief—at the sight below. The force he was amassing was unlike anything he had imagined. He now had arguableone the largest congregation of bloodline users.

The Kaguya Clan

One of his first priorities had been reaching out to the remnants of the Kaguya Clan, known for their formidable Dead Bone Pulse kekkei genkai, which allowed them to manipulate their own bones as weapons.

Kimimaro, once a devoted follower of Orochimaru, stood beside Naruto. The young man's pale skin and calm demeanour belied the power he wielded. Naruto after bringing him from Orochimaru's base had freed him.

"How are you feeling today?" Naruto asked, glancing at Kimimaro.

"Better, thanks to you, Lord Uzumaki" Kimimaro replied softly. "The curse mark's influence is gone, and my mind feels... clearer."

Naruto nodded. Removing the curse mark had been no small feat. With the assistance of the Rinha Clan's elders, they had managed to purge the dark influence that had warped Kimimaro's mind, Unlike the other cursed mark Kimimaro's was unique it like network of roots had deeply embedded into Kimimaro's mind and restoring his true self—a peaceful, introspective individual with a deep sense of purpose was damn diffcult.

But Kimimaro's illness had persisted. Knowing that only one person had the skill to heal him completely, Naruto had called in a favor from none other than Senju Tsunade.

Flashback

Naruto stood before the grand entrance of a luxurious inn, the soft glow of lanterns casting a warm light over the polished wooden floors. Clutched in his hand was a finely crafted sword—the Raijin, the legendary blade once wielded by the Second Hokage.

Inside, the atmosphere buzzed with laughter and the clinking of sake cups. At a corner table, Tsunade sat surrounded by a small crowd, a stack of coins and IOUs piled before her. She glanced up as Naruto approached, her amber eyes widening in surprise.

"Well, if it isn't Naruto Uzumaki," she drawled, a playful smirk tugging at her lips. "Come to try your luck against me?"

He chuckled. "I think I'll pass on gambling tonight."

Her gaze fell to the sword in his hand. "Is that...?"

He nodded, presenting the Raijin to her with both hands. "I've come to return this to its rightful owner."

Tsunade's eyes softened as she carefully took the hilt sword and activated it, her fingers brushing against his. "I thought this was lost. How did you—"

"I recovered it during one of my missions," he explained. "It belongs with the Senju."

She examined the blade, a hint of nostalgia in her expression. "You went through a lot of trouble for this. What's the catch?"

"No catch," Naruto replied with a sincere smile. "Just returning something precious to a friend."

She raised an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Flattery will get you everywhere, you know."

He grinned. "Is it working?"

"Maybe," she teased, leaning in slightly. "But you'll have to try a bit harder."

Naruto met her gaze confidently. "I think I can manage that."

Tsunade laughed lightly, the sound drawing the attention of those nearby. "You've certainly grown since the last time we met."

"And you've become even more radiant," he responded smoothly.

She feigned a dramatic sigh. "If only you were a few years older..."

He leaned against the table. "Age is just a number, Tsunade."

She shook her head, amusement dancing in her eyes. "Careful, or I might start to think you're serious."

"Who says I'm not?" he quipped.

She set the sword aside, her expression turning thoughtful. "I've also heard you've been settling some of my gambling debts. Care to explain?"

Naruto shrugged casually. "I thought I'd help out a friend. Can't have debt collectors ruining your fun."

She gave him a sly smile. "You do realize the Senju vault could cover my debts many times over. I enjoy the thrill of the chase—the debtors' desperate attempts to track me down. It's all part of the game."

"I figured as much," he admitted. "But consider it a gesture of goodwill."

She rested her chin on her hand. "Or perhaps you're just trying to get on my good side."

"Is it working?" he asked again, his tone light.

"Perhaps," she allowed. "But you didn't have to go to such lengths. The Senju clan makes more money in a day than I could spend in a month."

"Then let's just say I wanted to do something nice for a friend," Naruto replied earnestly.

She regarded him silently for a moment before a genuine smile spread across her face. "You're quite the enigma, Naruto."

He laughed softly. "I'll take that as a compliment."

Tsunade leaned back, her demeanour shifting slightly. "So, returning a priceless heirloom and clearing my debts—either you're trying to impress me, or you need a favour."

"Maybe a bit of both," he admitted.

She arched an eyebrow. "Oh? Do tell."

"I have someone who needs your help," Naruto began, his tone becoming serious. "His name is Kimimaro. He's suffering from a rare illness that's beyond the expertise of most medics."

She tapped her fingers thoughtfully. "You're asking me to heal him?"

"Yes," he confirmed. "I believe you're the only one who can."

Tsunade considered his request, her gaze drifting to the Raijin beside her. "You don't ask for small favors, do you?"

He smiled slightly. "I believe in making them count."

She sighed, rising gracefully to her feet, a mixture of reluctance and intrigue in her expression. Slowly, she stepped closer to Naruto, her movements deliberate, as if savoring the moment. Her gaze locked onto his, piercing yet warm, until they were only a breath apart. "Alright," she murmured, her voice soft yet commanding, sending a subtle shiver down his spine. "Bring him to me."

As Naruto turned to leave, her hand darted out, gripping his wrist with surprising firmness. She leaned in, her lips brushing tantalizingly close to his ear, her breath warm against his skin. "But before you go..." Her other hand slid behind him, giving his ass a quick, teasing squeeze. "You owe me one after this," she whispered, her tone dripping with playful mischief, leaving Naruto flushed and wide-eyed as she stepped back, a sly smile curving her lips.

As he turned to leave, she called out, "And Naruto?"

He paused, looking back. "Yes?"

She gave him a playful wink. "Don't be a stranger. I could use someone like you around—keeps things interesting."

He grinned. "I'll keep that in mind."

End of Flashback

Back in the present, Kimimaro stood beside Naruto on a cliff overlooking the bustling settlement. The sea breeze rustled their clothing as the sun cast a golden hue over the horizon.

Kimimaro touched the place where the curse mark had once scarred his skin. "I am indebted to you, Naruto-sama. You and Lady Tsunade have given me a new lease on life."

Kimimaro's gaze was resolute. "I wish to repay your kindness. My skills are yours to command."

-------------{XX}--------------------{XXX}------------------------------{XX}-----------------

Together, they sought out other surviving members of the Kaguya Clan. Many had gone into hiding, especially those without the distinctive double-dot markings on their foreheads—a symbol of their bloodline. The previous clan head that is Kimimaro's father had been ruthless, executing anyone without the mark. As a result, several clan members had fled, their children inheriting the Dead Bone Pulse and mark. It is no necessary that every Kaguya have the bloodline but 90% of them have the mark even those who have the bloodline as recessive trait.

Over time, Naruto and Kimimaro gathered seven individuals who possessed the Kaguya clan's bloodline limit, along with eighteen clan members who lacked it. While none could match Kimimaro's prowess, they showed great potential. Under Kimimaro's mentorship, they began honing their abilities and laying the foundation for rebuilding their clan with new ideologies and principles. Additionally, they raided the old Kaguya clan compound, uncovering numerous scrolls and relics that had been sealed away—a common occurrence among clans that had fled during the purges.

The Hōzuki Clan

Next on Naruto's list was the Hōzuki Clan, renowned for their Hydrification Technique, which allowed them to turn their bodies into liquid form.

His old friend, Mangetsu Hōzuki, a tall shinobi with his same damned confident cocky smirk and eyes that held a hint of mischief. Beside him stood his younger brother, Suigetsu, whose sharp gaze sized up Naruto immediately.

"Naruto Uzumaki," Mangetsu greeted coolly. "It's been a while."

"Too long," Naruto agreed, offering a nod.

Mangetsu crossed his arms. "Word is you're rallying the clans. What makes you think we'd be interested?"

Naruto met his gaze steadily. "You tried your way for years and there is no success, now try my way."

Suigetsu scoffed. "Sounds idealistic. What's in it for us?"

"A future," Naruto replied simply.

Mangetsu studied him for a moment before smirking. "I remember you from the old days. You were always idiotic. But strength speaks louder than words here."

Naruto understood the challenge. "Then let's speak through action."

They moved to a clearing, where Mangetsu drew one of the Seven Swordsmen's legendary blades. Suigetsu watched eagerly as Naruto readied himself, Suigetsu had heard lot about the Emperor Of Storm.

The spar began with Mangetsu Hōzuki's blade carving swift arcs through the air, his movements a symphony of mastery and confidence. The cove echoed with the clash of steel as Naruto countered each strike with calm precision. Where Mangetsu fought with the fluid grace of his clan's kenjutsu, Naruto's style was a mix of agility, strategy, and overwhelming strength, his every move deliberate.

But something about the exchange felt... restrained.

Mangetsu's smirk faltered mid-swing. He stepped back, lowering his blade slightly. "You're holding back, aren't you?"

Naruto tilted his head, his storm-gray eyes betraying no emotion. "And if I am?"

Mangetsu's grin widened, a glint of mischief in his eyes. "Don't insult me, Naruto. If you want my loyalty, fight me like you mean it."

The gathered Hōzuki clan members murmured among themselves, tension thickening in the air.

Naruto exhaled, his grip tightening on Arashi, the blade humming faintly with latent chakra. "You asked for it."

Before Mangetsu could react, Naruto moved. It wasn't speed—it was something beyond it. One moment, he was standing calmly, and the next, he was a blur of plasmic energy.

Mangetsu's blade was wrenched from his grasp before he could counter. A split second later, Naruto's palm slammed into his chest with enough force to send him hurtling backward. He crashed into the ground with an impact that left cracks spidering through the earth.

The clan gasped as Naruto closed the distance, each step deliberate. Mangetsu barely had time to rise when Naruto seized him by the collar, lifting him effortlessly into the air before slamming him back down. Dust and debris shot up around them, the sound of the impact reverberating through the cove.

Mangetsu groaned, pinned to the ground by Naruto's hand on his chest. The storm chakra around Naruto pulsed ominously, arcs of plasmic energy dancing along his body.

"Was that enough?" Naruto's voice was calm, almost cold, as he leaned closer.

Mangetsu coughed, trying to regain his breath. Despite the pain, he chuckled, his grin returning. "You've made your point… I yield."

Naruto stepped back, releasing him and sheathing Arashi in one fluid motion. "Then stand. I don't need followers who grovel. If you're with me, prove it."

Mangetsu pushed himself to his feet, wincing slightly but still grinning. "You didn't have to go so hard, you know."

"You asked for it," Naruto replied, his tone almost teasing as the storm energy around him dissipated.

Mangetsu extended a hand, his grin widening. "Alright, Emperor. You've earned my loyalty once again. Let's see what your vision has in store for us."

With the Hōzuki Clan's support, including six youths around Suigetsu's age and two elders who had the bloodline, Naruto's coalition grew stronger.

The Terumi Clan

Back at the settlement, Mei introduced Naruto to the members of her clan. The Terumi Clan, known for their Boil Release kekkei genkai—a combination of water and fire.

A gathering was held, where seventy clan members assembled, twenty of whom possessed the Boil Release.

An elder stepped forward. "Mei speaks highly of you, Naruto Uzumaki."

Naruto bowed respectfully. "I understand. I fought alongside Mei and with many of you in the past. I seek to create a place where our clans can prosper."

Whispers spread through the crowd. Mei raised a hand. "I've seen his abilities firsthand. With Naruto, we have a chance to build something lasting."

The Yuki Clan

Perhaps the most enthusiastic supporters were the Yuki Clan, wielders of the Ice Release—a fusion of water and wind.

Naruto traveled to a snow-covered region where the Yuki had established a their compound in Uzu. Upon arrival, he was greeted by Haku, who had integrated with the clan.

"Naruto!" Haku exclaimed, a warm smile lighting up his face.

"Haku, it's good to see you," Naruto replied.

They made their way to the clan's gathering hall, where the clan head, the venerable Hajen Yuki, awaited. The old man's eyes were sharp despite his age.

"Naruto Uzumaki or should I say Lord Uzumaki," Hajen greeted. "You have our gratitude for saving many of our kin like last time."

"I acknowledge your gratitude," Naruto said.

Hajen chuckled. "Modest, too. We have long awaited the chance to repay our debt."

"So you shall have it," Hajen declared. "The Yuki Clan stands with you."

The clan's numbers were impressive—120 strong, with 50 true Ice Release users and the rest skilled in Snow Release the bastardised version.

The Rinha Clan

Returning to the settlement, Naruto convened a meeting with the Rinha Clan—a small group of fifteen individuals with the unique ability to absorb chakra components, making them exceptional medical ninjas.

He found them in a quiet corner of the camp, tending to the injured and ill.

An elder named Seona approached him. "Lord Uzumaki, your actions years ago saved us from annihilation."

"I only warned you of the impending danger," Naruto replied.

Sora smiled gently. "You gave us time to escape. For that, we are forever grateful."

Naruto inclined his head. "Will you join us? Your skills could be very valuable."

"We are healers, not warriors," Sora cautioned.

"I understand," Naruto assured her. "Your role would be to heal and teach. In this new world we're building, everyone has a place."

After deliberation, the Rinha Clan agreed, bringing invaluable medical expertise to the coalition.

The Roku Clan

Lastly, Naruto reached out to the Roku Clan, renowned for their Lava Release—a blend of earth and fire. Mei's mother hailed from this clan, adding a personal connection.

Meeting with the clan elders, Naruto presented his vision.

"We've heard much about you," one elder remarked. "But words are wind."

Naruto nodded. "Then let my actions speak."

He demonstrated his strategic plans and his respect for their traditions. His past collaborations with Roku members during the rebellion also bolstered his credibility.

With her endorsement, the Roku Clan joined, adding their formidable Lava Release users to the growing alliance.

-------------{XX}--------------------{XXX}------------------------------{XX}-----------------

With the major clans on board, Naruto's settlement transformed into a vibrant community. Training grounds buzzed with activity as shinobi honed their skills, sharing techniques and fostering camaraderie.

Naruto established a council comprising representatives from each clan and other distinguished individual under him. Meetings were held regularly to discuss strategies, resource allocation, rebuilding and governance.

One afternoon, the council convened in a spacious hall overlooking the sea.

"We've come a long way," Mei remarked, glancing around the table

Ao nodded. "Yagura is still searching for us."

Naruto stood. "Our strength lies in our secrecy. The Mist was once powerful but torn apart by internal strife. We won't repeat those mistakes, we will stay hidden till we have a solid foundation."

Mangetsu leaned back. "Easier said than done."

"I can smell it in the air, the time for us to go in open come closer each day," Naruto replied.

Kimimaro spoke quietly. "I've seen the difference first hand. Our clans are learning and the new clans that was included also is coming quite good."

-------------{XX}--------------------{XXX}------------------------------{XX}-----------------

The world had shifted dramatically in three years. Orochimaru, in a reckless and idiotic gambit, orchestrated an attack on Konoha during the Chūnin Exams, bolstered by clandestine support from Kumo. Yet, when the time came, Kumo refused to act openly only funding, leaving Orochimaru to face the consequences alone. The assault brought Suna and Akatsuki into the fray, with Orochimaru flanked by Deidara and Kakuzu, alongside a reluctant Sand contingent.

The chaos of the invasion rippled across the Elemental Nations, but for Konoha, it became a defining moment. This was not the passive, rusted Hiruzen Sarutobi of old but a revitalized Third Hokage. Under his direct command, Konoha turned the tide, sending a clear message to the world.

Hiruzen's battle against Orochimaru was nothing short of joke. Desperate, Orochimaru summoned the First and Second Hokage through reanimation—a move Hiruzen swiftly dismantled with the seals of Aluraya.

"If they were at full strength, even in my prime, I would scarcely scratch the Second, let alone the First. But for you to control them, Orochimaru, their power must be proportional to your own. A pale imitation, nothing more."

Orochimaru was starkly reminded why his former sensei was called the Professor. Hiruzen's unparalleled knowledge of jutsus and their intricacies, eclipsed only by the likes of Second Hokage himself, had always been something Orochimaru admired and resented. The ease with which Hiruzen dissected and countered the reanimation technique was a stark reminder of the gap between them.

With those words, Hiruzen unleashed a ferocity unseen in decades, forcing Orochimaru to flee, his pride in tatters. Before his escape, Hiruzen delivered a devastating blow—a fire and yin-based jutsu that burned through Orochimaru's hands and tenketsu points, rendering his regenerative abilities useless and leaving his body permanently crippled.

Elsewhere, Kakuzu fell to Jiraiya, but doing great damage to Konoha and losing four of his precious hearts in the process. The rampaging One-Tail was subdued by Konohamaru, who now wielded the Monkey Summons with pride, a testament of his training under Hiruzen and Jiraiya. Meanwhile, Deidara proved a more of a challenge. The Mad-volatile artist rained destruction from the skies, and Danzo, ever the pragmatist, cursed Uzumaki Naruto. Without the barrier, they lacked the means to neutralize Deidara's aerial assaults effectively.

With the aid of Sai, a skilled Root operative capable of fighting in the air, Danzo managed to contain Deidara long enough to prevent catastrophic destruction. But when Deidara realized defeat was imminent, he chose to go out in a literal blaze of glory. The resulting explosion rocked the village, providing cover for Orochimaru and Kakuzu to escape, with the latter barely managing to carry the barely alive Deidara away.

Though Konoha emerged victorious, the cost was significant. The village bore scars from the assault mainly the unexpected explosion and destruction the village due to three S rank shinobi and lot of dead and injured shinobi, and as was often the case in times, the Uchiha Clan found themselves blamed for lapses in internal security. The fragile healing in relations between the Uchiha and the village, achieved after the Kumo debacle, was undone in an instant.

-------------{XX}--------------------{XXX}------------------------------{XX}----------------- For Naruto, the fallout from the invasion brought challenges of its own. While he took satisfaction in the damage inflicted on Konoha and their subsequent distractions—even as they emerged stronger—he couldn't help but mourn the death of some of his old friends and acquaintances. Whoever fight war is not a plesent business. The surrender of Suna also had unintended consequences. In an effort to appease Konoha, Baki ousted Naruto's businesses from Suna, aligning with the Wind Daimyō's renewed funding of the village.

The result was catastrophic—not only for Naruto, but for Suna. Naruto, seeing the writing on the wall, had already begun pulling his investments, but even he couldn't avoid taking a massive hit. The loss of trade partnerships and assets was a calculated setback, but one he could endure.

For Suna, however, the ramifications were far worse. Naruto's financial influence had been deeply entrenched in their economy. His withdrawal plunged the village further into economic despair. Infrastructure crumbled, trade routes dried up, and Baki's administration was left scrambling for solutions. The message was clear to all: crossing the Storm Emperor came at a price, one even the Wind Daimyō could not shield them from.

Naruto, ever the strategist, saw the huge loss he suffered as a trade-off. Suna's economic collapse was a warning to others: loyalty wasn't optional, and betrayal carried consequences even at cost of his own loss and pain. 

-------------{XX}--------------------{XXX}------------------------------{XX}-----------------

As the old saying goes, "When one door closes, another opens." Naruto found that new door in the very house of the man whose actions had shut the door to Suna—Orochimaru's Village.

Armed with intelligence from Kimimaro, Naruto systematically dismantled Orochimaru's vast network. He raided bases hidden across the North, South, East, and West, leaving no stone unturned. Each operation unveiled new resources, knowledge, and allies.

In one of Orochimaru's southern labs, Naruto encountered Jūgo, a young man whose transformations stemmed from an uncontrollable influx of natural energy. To Naruto's astonishment, Uzumaki archives revealed Jūgo's heritage as a descendant of the long-thought-extinct Tenzin Clan, a family renowned for their unique connection to nature chakra. Using this knowledge, Naruto devised a reverse curse seal that siphoned Jūgo's excess natural energy from his brain and dissipated it harmlessly into the atmosphere. This stabilized Jūgo's mind, enabling him to control his transformations without succumbing to madness. Grateful, and already a loyal friend to Kimimaro, Jūgo swore fealty to Naruto.

Another raid led Naruto to Tayuya and the rest of the Sound Four. Tayuya, fiercely independent and disillusioned with Orochimaru, was willing to join Naruto rather than die at his hands. Rumors whispered among Orochimaru's followers that Naruto was the only man the Snake Sannin feared. While Naruto dismissed the notion—knowing Orochimaru was wary but not truly afraid of him—the whispers served their purpose in cementing his reputation as The Storm Emperor.

Naruto initially suspected Tayuya might be an Uzumaki, but testing revealed only faint traces of Uzumaki blood due to Orochimaru's experiments. It was so diluted that she could not even give birth to an Uzumaki heir. Regardless, she and the Sound Four submitted to Naruto's leadership, though their reliance on cursed seals had left them weakened once the seals were removed. Naruto tasked Kimimaro with training them rigorously to regain their strength.

-------------{XX}------------------------------{XXX}--------------------{XX}--------------

However, loyalty had to be absolute. When Sakon and several others attempted to defect back to Orochimaru, Naruto acted swiftly. Karin uncovered the betrayal, and Naruto made an example of Sakon. His brother, Ukon, was executed publicly, while Sakon himself was dragged to the newly established T&I division—a makeshift tent in the middle of the base that served as a reminder to all—led by Anko Mitarashi.

The screams that emanated from the tent chilled everyone in the camp. Even Anko, no stranger to torment, admitted that Naruto's methods were terrifyingly effective.

"Whatever scraps of loyalty to Orochimaru remained evaporated that day," Anko later remarked. "For them, Orochimaru was a demon. For us? Naruto is both a god and a demon when needed."

-------------{XX}----------------------{XXX}--------------------{XX}----------------------

Naruto's network continued to expand, but with it came the seeds of potential discord. The influx of former Mist clans, including the Hōzuki and Terumi, alongside the Fūma and Iburi clans, and recruits from Orochimaru's former forces, created an increasingly diverse yet fragmented alliance. The Mist faction, numbering over 15,000 members, emerged as the dominant force, significantly outpacing the Tower and Sound factions.

Though these groups were not yet centralized in a single location, the underlying divisions were becoming apparent. For now, the factions coexisted, united by Naruto's leadership and the shared memory of the struggles he had led them through. However, Naruto could foresee the day in future when this fragile unity might fracture—perhaps after his death or with the rise of a new generation that did not understand the hardships and sacrifices that had brought them together. The threat of such division loomed.

Naruto understood the danger of such divisions. His vision wasn't merely about rebuilding clans—it was about forging a unified future under Uzumaki rule. He openly respected clan identities and traditions but was adamant that factions would not dictate Uzushiogakure's governance.

"This isn't about rebuilding clans," Naruto confided to Kimimaro one evening. "It's about creating something new. I won't dissolve their identities, but there will be no factions ruling Uzushiogakure. The monarchy of the Uzumaki will stand. I won't repeat the Senju's mistake of allowing compromises to weaken my clan or the foundation of our future. We'll rule, and they'll follow."

-------------{XX}--------------------{XXX}------------------------------{XX}-----------------

To counter the rising influence of factions, Naruto implemented measures to foster unity—intermixed teams, shared responsibilities, and initiatives that encouraged bonds across groups. Yet he knew more was needed. To dilute the factions' proportions and solidify his vision, he needed to bring in more clans and people. Thus, he began seeking oppressed, disgraced, or independent clans to join his cause. But Naruto was meticulous; he rejected any groups whose inclusion might corrupt the system he was painstakingly building. But this only patched issue not resolved it.

Raiding Orochimaru's bases had yielded invaluable resources. Naruto seized research papers, black-market contacts, supply chains, and infrastructure before Konoha could recover from Deidara's explosion and recall its forces. This accelerated his plans by years. Establishing such a system from scratch would have been a slow, treacherous process, prone to betrayal. But with three walking lie and emotion detectors—Karin, Kanna, and their clones—Naruto rooted out disloyalty swiftly.

Many of Orochimaru's former followers, freed from their cursed seals, became productive members of the community. While many of these shinobi and civilians had joined Orochimaru due to his honeyed words or for protection, they were inherently good people once removed from his influence. However, 40% of them proved irredeemable, either inherently sadistic or unwaveringly loyal to Orochimaru. Naruto ordered their execution, purging the rot before it could fester.

Despite these efforts, Naruto knew more work lay ahead. He pored over Uzumaki archives, unlocked by the ring of his Grace, Ashina Uzumaki, given to him by the old sage. These contained the wisdom of Uzushiogakure's golden age, offering guidance for building not just a village, but a nation. The scrolls chronicled the pitfalls the Uzumaki had faced and warned of mistakes to avoid in the future this was written by critic of the way Uzumaki ruled them self.

Now, Naruto's focus on the scrolls detailing clans from the Warring States era and unaffiliated clans to bolster his force. He knew by infusing these clan he can dilute the present percentage and sort the problem of identity factions. So Naruto eye fell on a group of scroll he had kept aside after made annotation of his thoughts. So he picked one: Okamihane Clan

Okamihane Clan (Wolf Wings Clan)

Overview:

The Okamihane Clan is an ancient clan of shinobi known for their symbiotic bond with wolves, which has earned them the moniker Moonfangs. These wolves share a profound spiritual connection with their human partners, enabling them to merge chakras and perform devastatingly synchronized attacks.

Legends and rumors whisper that the legendary Inuzuka Clan, known for their partnership with dogs, is an offshoot of the Okamihane. However, unlike the Inuzuka, the Okamihane Clan has remained reclusive, living deep within the jungles of the Land of Fangs, far from the eyes of the shinobi world.

He had spent months piecing together clues about their whereabouts. He himself had been scouring the land of fangs. The Land of Fangs, a dense jungle region. Furthermore even before this Naruto had gained control over the land of fangs by having his puppet as its leader just like the other places bordering land of swamps.

On his quest to Okamihane clan Naruto found the Kamizuru Clan they tried to kill him since he was the 4th Hokages son. He easily dispatched them and offered them a place. They were on the verge of destruction after their exile from Iwa. It took bit time he used their abilities with bugs to determine the Okamihane. He brought the Kamizuru from who starving to swamp where they were accepted. They were some the best trackers. The world underestimate the power of the Aburame clan. Having insects do surveillance is boon that is one the reason for konohas might. To have a similar force in his disposal, he didn't know what possed iwa to throw such valuable asset out.

As he traversed the land of fangs in the search of Okamihane Clan, his senses remained alert. The forest was unusually quiet—a stillness that set his instincts on edge. Suddenly, a swarm of buzzing insects erupted from the underbrush, surrounding him in a pulsating cloud.

Naruto's eyes narrowed. "An ambush?"

From the shadows, figures emerged—cloaked shinobi bearing the emblem of bees on their attire. Their leader, a stern-faced man with sharp eyes, stepped forward.

"Naruto Uzumaki," the man declared. "Son of the Fourth Hokage. You will pay for your father's sins against Iwa."

Naruto assessed his surroundings. The Kamizuru Clan—a name he hadn't though he will ever come across. "I have no quarrel with you," he said calmly. "Stand down, and we can talk."

"There's nothing to discuss!" another member shouted. "Your father brought devastation upon Iwa. You capture will restore our honour and glory!"

The swarm of insects tightened around him, their buzzing intensifying. Naruto sighed inwardly. "I don't have time for this," he thought.

With swift precision, he formed a series of hand seals. "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

A powerful gust of wind exploded outward, dispersing the insects and staggering the attackers. Before they could recover, Naruto moved with blinding speed, disabling them one by one using non-lethal force.

In mere moments, the Kamizuru shinobi lay incapacitated, groaning in surprise and frustration.

The leader struggled to his feet, glaring defiantly. "Go ahead and finish us," he spat.

Naruto shook his head. "I'm not here to harm you. I defended myself because you attacked without provocation."

"Your very existence is provocation enough," the leader retorted.

Naruto regarded him thoughtfully. "You're from the Kamizuru Clan, aren't you? Once a proud clan of Iwagakure."

The man's eyes flickered with a mix of pride and sorrow. "We were exiled—betrayed and abandoned."

"Why attack me, then?" Naruto pressed. "I had nothing to do with your exile."

"Your father—"

"Is not me," Naruto interjected firmly. "If someone can toss you out for so little, they can do it again."

Silence hung between them. The other clan members watched warily, unsure of what to expect.

Naruto extended a hand. "I can offer you a place—a chance to rebuild and thrive."

The leader hesitated. "Why would you help us?"

"Because I see potential in you," Naruto replied. "Your abilities with insects are remarkable. The world underestimates the power of such skills. Together, we can achieve greatness."

A younger member, a boy stepped forward, her eyes filled with desperation. "Our people are starving. We've been wandering for years with nowhere to go."

Naruto nodded empathetically. "Come with me to my Lands. You'll be welcomed and provided for."

The leader glanced at his clan—worn, tired, and hungry. Pride warred with necessity within him. Finally, he sighed heavily. "Very well. We will hear what you have to say."

As they made their way toward the Land of Swamps, Naruto learned more about the Kamizuru Clan's plight. Once esteemed shinobi of Iwagakure, they specialized in bee-based techniques, rivaling Konoha's Aburame Clan. However, a failed mission resulted in heavy losses, leaving the clan disgraced and eventually exiled.

The primary reason for their fall from grace was the death of their experienced shinobi. With only inexperienced children remaining, Iwagakure found it inconvenient to maintain their noble status. Naruto could see their potential without even exerting much effort to defeat them.

Despite their current state, Naruto was confident he could mold these ragged remnants into something formidable—akin to Konoha's Aburame Clan. They already possessed the jutsu and archives but lacked proper training, which Naruto knew he could provide. When it came to shinobi matters, their only remaining asset was their kekkei genkai, but Naruto saw this as an opportunity to develop them into a force to be reckoned with.

"Iwa saw us as failures," the leader, whose name was Hachiro Kamizuru, explained bitterly. "They cast us out to save face."

"That doesn't justify their actions," Naruto remarked. "Every clan faces setbacks."

Hachiro scoffed. "Easy for you to say. Your village didn't turn its back on you."

Naruto's expression darkened slightly. "You might be surprised."

The younger member from earlier walked beside them. "I'm Ayame," she introduced softly. "Thank you for helping us."

She hesitated before asking, "Do you really think we can start over?"

"I believe so," Naruto affirmed. "But it will take effort and trust."

-------------{XX}----------------------{XXX}--------------------{XX}----------------------

As they approached the denser parts of the forest, Naruto realized that finding the Okamihane Clan would be more challenging than anticipated. Their illusions and barriers were formidable.

Turning to Hachiro, he asked, "Your bees—can they help us navigate these woods?"

Hachiro considered the request. "Possibly. They can detect anomalies."

"That would be helpful," Naruto said. "I'm searching for a reclusive clan in this area. With your assistance, we might find them sooner."

Hachiro nodded. "Very well. We'll do what we can."

The Kamizuru Clan members began deploying their bees, the tiny insects dispersing into the forest. Ayame closed her eyes, focusing on the feedback from her hive.

"There are chakra lased saliva near those forests," she reported. 

Naruto smiled appreciatively. "Excellent work."

-------------{XX}----------------------{XXX}--------------------{XX}----------------------

Few days later after pinpointing the location, Naruto gathered his essentials. He donned his cloak, its fabric embroidered with intricate seals and symbols. Sliding Arashi no Megami into its sheath, he stepped out into the cool night air. The moon hung low, casting a silvery sheen over the settlement.

"Heading out? To Fangs, I presume?" Mei's voice drifted from behind him. She stood in the doorway, arms crossed with a knowing smile on her face.

He nodded. "Yes, I need to find the Okamihane. Their alliance could change everything."

She approached him, her eyes searching his. "It might really be only a myth of an extinct clan. It's been months."

"I'll find them. I'm so close," he assured her. "Hold down the fort while I'm gone."

Mei smirked. "You know I will."

With a final nod, Naruto vanished into the night, his destination clear in his mind.

-------------{XX}----------------------{XXX}--------------------{XX}----------------------

Naruto, his senses attuned to the environment. His training allowed him to navigate the labyrinth of vegetation and avoid natural traps. Along the way, he encountered signs of the Okamihane's presence—subtle markings on trees, the faint aura of chakra in the air.

After days of trekking, he approached a thick wall of mist that seemed unnatural. "This must be the barrier," he thought. The mist was laced with genjutsu, designed to disorient and repel intruders.

Closing his eyes, Naruto focused on his chakra, activating the seals woven into his cloak. The protective symbols glowed faintly, countering the illusions. The mist parted slightly, allowing him passage.

As he ventured deeper, he felt the prickle of multiple eyes upon him. He was being watched.

Suddenly, the mist cleared, revealing a vast clearing bathed in ethereal moonlight. Towering trees circled the area, their branches intertwining overhead to form a natural dome. At the center stood a massive stone gate adorned with wolf motifs.

Before he could take another step, figures emerged from the shadows—members of the Okamihane Clan. They moved with silent grace, their eyes reflecting the moon's glow. Moonfang wolves flanked them, their fur shimmering with a silvery hue.

A man stepped forward, his presence commanding. He had sharp features, a streak of silver running through his dark hair, and eyes that seemed to pierce the soul.

"State your purpose, outsider, Uzumaki Child" he demanded, his voice low but firm.

Naruto raised his hands in a non-threatening gesture. "I am Naruto Uzumaki, the Lord of the Uzumaki. I've come to speak with your clan about an alliance."

The man scrutinized him. "Our clan has no interest in the affairs of the outside world and it has been decades since we had any business with your clan last we heard they were destroyed."

"I understand your hesitation," Naruto replied calmly. "But the world is changing. And I come with proposal that will see both of us prosper."

Murmurs spread among the clan members. The wolves growled softly, sensing the tension.

The man narrowed his eyes. "How did you bypass our illusions?"

Naruto met his gaze steadily. "I possess knowledge of sealing techniques passed down through my clan. They allowed me to navigate your barriers."

A woman with a flowing cloak and keen eyes stepped forward. "You bear the ring of his Grace Ashina Uzumaki," she observed, noticing the artifact on his finger. "Perhaps there is more to you than meets the eye."

The man appeared before. "Very well. I am Koushiro Okamihane, leader of this clan. You may speak, but tread carefully."

-------------{XX}----------------------{XXX}--------------------{XX}----------------------

Naruto was led to a large communal hall built seamlessly into the ground as underground natural indendation. The interior was illuminated by soft, luminescent stones, casting a gentle glow.

Seated around a circular table, the clan elders listened intently, their expressions guarded. Moonfangs lounged nearby, their eyes ever watchful.

Koushiro gestured for Naruto to begin.

"Thank you for granting me this audience," Naruto began. "I have been uniting clans and individuals who share a common goal—creating a place where we can all thrive without fear or persecution. Your clan's unique abilities and strength would be invaluable to this endeavor."

An elder with a long beard spoke up, his tone steady. "We are aware of the outside world, Uzumaki. We choose to remain apart from its conflicts and follies. So, you are rebuilding Uzu. We have great respect for your clan and its legacy, but we will not partake in this foolishness."

A younger member chimed in, "Our bond with Inari and the Moonfangs is sacred. We will not jeopardize it by entangling ourselves in external affairs."

Naruto nodded thoughtfully. "I respect your devotion and your desire for peace. I myself am a seeker of the truth, having been initiated on the path. But isolation, while understandable, may not guarantee safety."

Koushiro leaned forward, his expression sharpening. "And what makes you think we cannot protect ourselves?"

Naruto met his gaze evenly. "I've seen firsthand how even the strongest can fall when faced with overwhelming threats. My clan is the prime example. No one in the Elemental Nations would ever claim the Uzumaki were weak, where are we now? We sought enlightenment, prioritized the spiritual path, and turned a blind eye to the material world's dangers. That was our folly. While I deeply respect the path of salvation, the path I also a fellow seeker like you walk, we must also not ignore the thorns on the way. My goal is build a place where people can look for higher purpose like enlightenment and not worry of survival, but for that we need to build foundation, her I need you."

His voice carried weight as he concluded, "But together, we can stand stronger."

The woman who had noticed his ring earlier spoke again. "You mentioned forces that could affect us. Explain."

Naruto took a deep breath. "There are entities seeking to control or eradicate those with unique abilities. Clans like yours and mine could become targets. I offer an alliance that preserves your traditions while ensuring mutual protection. I have strong reason to believe there people or organisation that work to destroy bloodline. The world though post clan war era there will be peace but more bloodline is destroyed in this century than ever."

The elders exchanged glances.

Naruto considered his next approach carefully. "I understand that your clan has been unable to access your main ancestral Inari shrine due to a powerful seal and curse."

Silence fell over the hall. The tension was palpable.

"How do you know of that?" an elder demanded.

"I've studied the Uzumaki archives," Naruto explained. "They contain records of various clans and their histories. I believe I can help you lift the seal."

A murmur spread among the clan members. The Moonfangs shifted uneasily.

Koushiro's eyes flashed with a mix of suspicion and intrigue. "That seal is beyond any normal means of breaking even for an Uzumaki. It's a curse that has plagued us for generations."

"Then allow me to try," Naruto offered. "Consider it a gesture of goodwill."

The elders huddled together, whispering. After a few moments, Koushiro spoke. "If you can lift the curse and grant us access to the shrine, we will be your loyal subjects."

Naruto inclined his head. "Thank you."

-------------{XX}----------------------{XXX}--------------------{XX}----------------------

The path to the shrine was treacherous, winding through dense forests and steep cliffs. Moonlight filtered through the trees, casting silvery beams to guide their way. Finally, they reached a massive stone door embedded into the mountainside. Intricate carvings of wolves and celestial bodies adorned its surface, exuding an aura of ancient power.

"This is it," Koushiro said solemnly. "For centuries, we've been unable to enter. The seal and curse repel any who attempt to break it."

Naruto stepped forward, feeling the potent energy radiating from the barrier. Placing his hand on its surface, he was immediately met with a surge of chakra that pushed him back.

"Be careful," a woman from the clan warned. "Many have been injured trying to force their way in."

Naruto closed his eyes, focusing his senses on the seal. The energy was intricate and foreboding—a combination of powerful sealing techniques and a curse that felt akin to divine bindings like the Reaper Death Seal.

"It's a variant of the divine seal," he murmured, "created by summoning an otherworldly entity. But it's been heavily modified."

Naruto began working on the seal immediately. Days turned into nights as he toiled relentlessly, sleeping and eating by the shrine itself. One of the elders remarked that even greater Uzumaki, grandmasters in sealing arts, had failed to unbind it. Naruto knew he wasn't a grandmaster—not even close. Yet he pressed on, determined to succeed.

For two weeks, every attempt led to failure. He tried invoking the Uzumaki masks, but they refused to activate. It wasn't that mask couldn't—they simply denied his efforts, as if sensing something beyond his understanding.

Exhausted and resigned, Naruto finally admitted defeat. Before leaving, he decided to perform a traditional offering ritual to Inari, as his master had taught him. He requested specific woods for incense, resin for its unique aroma, flowers, and other sacred materials to create a ceremonial fire.

As the flames crackled and fragrant smoke wafted into the air, Naruto began the ritual, invoking Inari with humility. But the deity remained silent, rejecting his offering. Just as Naruto was about to conclude, a wisper, resonant voice echoed in his mind—the voice of his master, the old sage.

"The time for the Okamihane's punishment has come to an end," the voice intoned. "Your offering is accepted. Now sit in a cross-legged posture and apologize sincerely for all the wrongs the clan has committed, knowingly or unknowingly, you will plead on their behalf."

Naruto obeyed, lowering himself into a meditative position. As he connected with the deity, he felt no rejection, only a profound presence. His mind was flooded with visions—memories from over 400 years ago. He saw a clan head of the Okamihane Clan, an SS-rank shinobi whose arrogance and power had led him to desecrate the shrine. The man, drunk on his achievements, declared himself a god, demanding worship and halting the clan's rituals to Inari. Be believed he was the great wolf.

Enraged, the deity sealed the shrine, barring even the greatest masters of sealing from entry, and withdrew its blessings. The arrogant shinobi was soon afflicted with a terrible disease, dying a slow and humiliating death, his ego shattered. From that day, the spiritual progress of the clan halted. While a few managed to tread the path of enlightenment, it became ten times harder without Inari's guidance.

The visions ended, and Naruto understood the gravity of the clan's transgressions. Yet, because of his humility—setting aside his Uzumaki pride of being a seal master and choosing to bow before the deity—the divine entity was willing to forgive. Naruto's sincere plea had reached Inari.

The deity's presence surrounded him, the oppressive energy of the curse lifting. For the first time in centuries, the shrine doors creaked open and the barrier vanished. The Moonfang clan, witnessing the event, fell to their knees in reverence, sensing the divine power that even non-sensors could feel. To them, Naruto had achieved the impossible, and they could only bow in awe.

A soft rumble echoed as the stone door slowly creaked open, revealing the interior of the shrine.

Gasps of astonishment arose from the clan. Tears welled in the eyes of some elders.

"You did it," Koushiro whispered, his voice filled with disbelief.

Naruto stepped back, allowing them to enter first.

-------------{XX}----------------------{XXX}--------------------{XX}----------------------

The interior was breathtaking. Moonlight filtered through openings in the ceiling, illuminating statues of wolves and depictions of Inari. An altar stood at the center, adorned with ancient artifacts and offerings left untouched for generations.

The spiritual energy within was palpable. The Moonfangs howled softly, their voices harmonizing in a haunting melody.

An elder approached Naruto. "You have given us a gift beyond measure. How can we repay you?"

He smiled gently. "By considering my proposal. Join us, and together we can protect our ways and create a better future. But before that I have been instructed reconsecrate the temple."

Koushiro approached the altar, placing his hand reverently upon it. "This place... it's more than we imagined. We bow to the grace that brought you to us."

The woman stepped forward. "Perhaps Inari guided you to us, Naruto Uzumaki."

He inclined his head. "I believe fate plays a role in our lives."

-------------{XX}----------------------{XXX}--------------------{XX}----------------------

Under the glow of the full moon, the entire clan gathered in the central clearing, the air heavy with anticipation. The crackling of ceremonial torches cast flickering shadows, illuminating solemn faces. The Moonfang wolves sat silently, their luminous eyes reflecting the moonlight, lending the gathering an ethereal aura.

Naruto stood apart from the gathering, his posture calm but commanding, allowing the clan their space to deliberate. Murmurs filled the air as the elders debated the weight of their decision, while younger members exchanged nervous glances. This was a moment that would define their future—a step into the unknown, yet filled with promise.

Finally, Koushiro emerged from the circle of elders, his expression resolute. The entire clearing seemed to hold its breath as he approached Naruto and bowed deeply.

"We have reached a decision," Koushiro announced, his voice steady but reverent. "Your actions—the restoration of our sacred bond with Inari and your humility in seeking forgiveness for our ancestors—have earned not only our loyalty but also our gratitude. The Okamihane Clan will join your village, on the condition that our traditions, our sacred bond with Inari, and the integrity of our legacy are honored and preserved."

Naruto's eyes softened as he stepped forward. His voice carried a warmth that resonated through the gathering. "I wouldn't have it any other way. Your traditions are a testament to your strength and identity. Together, we will honor them and build a future that respects our past."

A ripple of relief and hope spread through the clan. For the first time in generations, they saw a path forward unclouded by isolation or fear.

Stepping forward, the clan's leader, a poised woman with an air of quiet authority, knelt before Naruto. Her voice rang with conviction as she spoke. "I am Koushiro Okamihane, leader of the Okamihane Clan. Before the great Inari, under the light of the sacred moon, I swear fealty to His Grace Uzumaki Naruto, Head of the Uzumaki Clan and rightful leader of Uzushiogakure. From this day forth, I, my clan and our descendants pledge our loyalty and service, to protect and follow you until the end of our days."

Behind him, every member of the Okamihane Clan knelt in unison, bowing their heads in solemn reverence. Even the Moonfangs, lowered their powerful forms, their glowing eyes fixed on Naruto.

Naruto took a step forward, standing tall as the winds swirled around him, carrying his voice like a beacon. "I accept your fealty, Koushiro Okamihane, and the loyalty of your people. From this day forward, you are not just allies—you are my kin. Your strength, your traditions, and your bond with Inari are now part of Uzushiogakure's legacy. Together, we will rise, stronger than ever."

As he extended to the knelt Koushiro's sholder, Koushiro placed his upon it, sealing the vow. The clan erupted into cheers, a collective cry of unity that reverberated through the clearing. The Moonfangs howled in unison, their haunting voices echoing into the night, as if carrying the pact to the heavens themselves.

Naruto turned to address the crowd, his voice firm yet filled with promise. "Tonight marks the beginning of a new chapter for us all. Under the Uzumaki banner, no one will be left to stand alone."

-------------{XX}----------------------{XXX}--------------------{XX}----------------------

Over the next few days, Naruto helped the Okamihane Clan prepare for their journey to the settlement. A small contingent will stay back protecting their domain and the rest will travel. The Moonfangs were apprehensive at first but seemed to accept the change, sensing their partners.

As they traveled, Naruto shared stories of the other clans and the unity they were fostering.

Shi walked beside him. "Your vision is ambitious."

"I believe it's necessary," he said. "The world is becoming more interconnected. Isolation won't protect us forever."

She nodded thoughtfully. "Perhaps you're right. Our people have long held onto the past. It's time we looked to the future."

When they reached the settlement, the other clans greeted the Okamihane with curiosity and openness. The Moonfangs drew particular interest, their majestic forms captivating. Okamihane can was largem they 800 in strength since they were not in wars. And they were loyal.

Mei approached Naruto as the newcomers settled in. "You did it," she said, shocked.

He grinned. "I had a good feeling about them."

Ao joined them. "Their abilities could be a significant asset."

"Agreed," Naruto said. "But more importantly, they've found a place where they can thrive."

Koushiro observed the bustling activity around him. "Your settlement is impressive."

"Thank you," Naruto replied. "This is nothing wait till we move to Uzu."

Shi gestured to the training grounds. "Our people will contribute what they can."

"I'm looking forward to it," he said sincerely.
