Chapter 7: Shocking the World.

Uzumaki Naruto sat in his main office as he looked at the few leaders of the Samurai of Sound. To be honest he was completely shocked over the fact he even commanded Samurai. Technically, he owned them along with everyone else living in Sound, but he didn't like thinking that way. He could play the part to the eyes of the world but he planned to gain their loyalty through friendship and respect. Kabuto had informed Naruto about them being in charge of protecting certain villages and fortresses. Which oddly enough focused on the eastern and western borders where their form of fighting was more common.

The average armored Samurai bowed to their master before leaving to inform their men about the plans Naruto had begun to create. They had been amazed at the unique and reckless strategy Naruto was going to use. But they understood that this was to be for the best of their home. They also knew from experience that not all of the men they had been forced to fight wanted to live such dark lives.

" I guess this means that we are going to war?" Sasuke asked as he came into the room while letting the Samurai pass by him.

" Not if I can help it." Naruto said as he studied the maps in front of him. "According to reports from the borders the warlord to our west is planning a massive assault on our people. At the moment our Eastern borders have had no actions thanks to the massive battle Jubei told us about." Naruto said as he motioned Sasuke to look at the map.

" Then shouldn't we send over more troops from the east over to our western borders?" Sasuke asked making Naruto shake his head.

" No, at the moment we still needed them there is case things don't turned out like planned. Plus our forces have always pushed back the West even when they attack with greater numbers." Naruto said making Sasuke confused.

" Then what's the problem?"

" I've read the past reports of battles involving this area... I believe we need to send some forces to the north." Naruto said making Sasuke look at him.

" North.. there's nothing up there... just that tiny port that receives almost no business." Sasuke said making Naruto nod his head.

" Which is why I'll be sending a battalion of Chuunin. A long with some teams to the west." Naruto said making Sasuke nod his head.

" Where do you want me?" Sasuke asked.

" Where I know you can do the most damage." Naruto said making Sasuke smirk. He felt a sense of accomplishment at hearing the confidence Naruto had in his skills.

" And the final piece of today's agenda involves the Samurai the Daimyo wishes to post around Konoha." Shizune said making the Council upset. They knew their True Leader only wanted to keep them in check.

" Hokage-sama!" A Chuunin yelled as he burst through the doors of the Council Room.

" What is it?" Tsunade asked.

" We just got word from the border with Beast." The Chuunin said as he rushed to give her a report.

" Sound has taken over the territories of the Warlords Hog, Rat, Fly and Worm." The man said making the council fill with shock. Our spy barely made it back alive. He reported to have been chased down by Uchiha Sasuke after Uchiha-san wiped out the War Lords that had been overlooking the final battle before their truce. Uchiha-san had greatly injured our spy, but refused to cross into our territory to finish the job. Our spy claims that it was Namikaze-san that ordered the attack on the Land of Beast." The man said making the Council even more shocked.

" How big are those territories?" Koharu asked,

" The Spy said that Blade won't have to worry about Beast invading them anymore. The attack was so fast, so perfectly timed that those four governments in the land of Beast never had the chance to defend much less prevent the take over attempt." The man said with disbelief.

" How badly was the losses to Sound?" Danzo asked with a narrowed eye.

"None, I don't want to believe it, but the spy says that Sound didn't lose a single fighter. Namikaze-san supposedly used a jutsu so powerful it defeated an army of one hundred thousand." The man said making the room fill with disbelief.

" Was it..." Homura asked,

" No... Kyuubi was never used and neither was the Hiraishin." The man said as Tsunade read the report. The majority of the council wanted to shit themselves from the fact Naruto had defeated an army without using his greatest weapons. Tsunade could already imagine Jiraiya swelling with pride when he heard what happened.

" And the people of Beast, how are they reacting to Sound taking over?" Shikaku asked making the man look at him.

" They're celebrating." The man said making the room unable to believe his words.

" Can you repeat that?" Inoichi asked.

" They're celebrating... Sound raided the private storages of the Warlords. They are feeding the people that were being starved to death. The ridiculous amount of money that those countries had is being used to help strengthen and improve the new lands of Sound." The man said with awe.

"Hell I heard nearly all the Samurai that had once been fighting each other have now sworn complete loyalty to Namikaze-san. I would guess he now has nearly eighty thousand Samurai to command. Over half injured but they are getting the proper help. The light sword wounds that most Samurai would have can naturally heal in a few weeks. In a few days they would be battle ready." The man said making Tsunade put the report on the table before closing it.

" What are we going to do?" A civilian asked.

" Do about what?" Tsunade asked making the council look at her with disbelief.

" Those countries wanted nothing to do with us ninja. They are not our clients nor are they allies. Naruto is free to invade them as much as he wants." Tsunade said making the room look at her like she was insane.

" Then we must take the remaining land before he makes himself stronger." Danzo said making Tsunade glare at him.

" The only land Konoha owns is what the Fire Daimyo gave us. Any actions to expand has to be approved by him, we can try to convince him to use Fire country to attack Beast but he isn't the type to start fights. This is out of our hands, all we can do is just see what Naruto is going to do." Tsunade said as she wondered what the blond had done.

" I can't believed that worked." Tiger said as Turtle laughed his head off. It had been nearly a week since Sound's sudden invasion into Beast. The ANBU Captain was still shocked at how their leader had brought down such a massive army.

"I think that was pure genius. Not a single life lost because of his actions. Sure a lot of guys bleed to death thanks to the fighting they had done, but the majority were saved." Turtle said making his best friend look at him with shock.

" He turned into a girl." Tiger said making Naruto appear from around a corner.

" Correction I became over a thousand girls... who happened to be naked and appeared in between a major battle, a battle in which no guy had the mentality to avoid such an attack." Naruto said with pride. " Who would have guessed taking my Harem Technique to the next level could have such an effect?" Naruto said making Benawii shake his head.

" When you told us your plans you made it sound like we were going to be fighting, but you created a ten second war with no casualties." Benawii said making Naruto smirk.

" Yeah... I'm awesome like that." Naruto said as his Shinobi and Samurai nodded their heads. He soon got a serious look as he saw those being treated. "Anyway... how are things from the area you were sent to?" Naruto asked with a serious voice.

" Every village we visited has accepted your leadership, Many feel it will be temporary but are still willing to follow you." Benawii said making Kurou nod his head.

" The same on my end but we had a few troops from another area of Beast test their luck. They weren't ready to take on a town protected by ninja. It ended with no life loss but some minor property damage." Kurou said making Naruto nod his head.

" How are those sweeps I asked you to perform coming along?" Naruto asked.

" I was able to find fifteen children that are ready to join the academy. Along with another forty that have active chakra. The Chuunin post has been ordered to care for those children. They are waiting for the escort to arrive to take them to Otogakure." Benawii reported.

" I found eight with active lightning chakra and three fire users. The area I went to had been hit by a plague the year before which is why there is so few children in that area." Kurou said with a sad tone.

"Send orders to Otogakure to send some healers to those areas. Along with a few Chuunin to guard them. These Samurai seem trust worthy, but its going to take a while for me to trust them with our people." Naruto said making his ANBU Captains to nod their heads.

" Any word from Dragon and Phoenix?" Benawii asked.

" Not yet, but they still have till tomorrow before I send a team to find them. Dragon is checking on the borders with fire while Phoenix is working with the new Sea Defense force."

" I can't believe we now have a navy." Kurou said making Benawii nod his head.

" Navy sounds too weird, lets just call them Marines. I like that better." Naruto said making his ninja nod their heads. They weren't going to argue with him since he just improved Oto in away Orochimaru never would have without unnecessary blood shed. The Sannin would have more than likely just killed Jubei for asking for help.

" Benawii I want you to lead our best interrogators to start questioning our new forces. If they have a high chance of them being loyal, I want them to start patrolling the borders while those not stationed in bases or forts to patrol our new villages. Have the Chuunin keep an eye on the villages, I don't want anyone taking advantage of these people. They have suffered too long, for us to let them relive that way of life." Naruto said making the gray haired man to nod his head before leaving. Kurou soon vanished to do the task Naruto had given them. Since Benawii had to interrogate Samurai, Kurou would get a messenger to reach Otogakure.

" Here are those progress reports you wanted about this village." Sasuke said as he placed a file on a desk Naruto was temporary using. The blond flipped through it before narrowing his eyes. He dropped it on the desk and looked Sasuke in the eyes.

" Sasuke gather a team and eliminate these crime lords. I want them to know I won't be playing their games. In Sound there is only one Ruler." Naruto said with a cold and serious tone. Instantly making his best friend nod his head before going to eliminate the crime families that were helping kill the people Naruto was now in charge of. Of course he knew to spare those that were innocent.

" My lord." Phoenix said as she came in through the window.

" How are thing on your end?" Naruto asked.

" About a third of the Navy..." Phoenix said only to have Naruto raise his hand to stop her.

" Marines. I'll calling them Marines from now on, it sounds better." Naruto said making the woman nod her head.

" About a third of the Marines have turned to Piracy. Lucky for us I had my teams place a few charges on all the ships to prevent them from getting away. We are lucky that only one of the Warlords had a fleet." Phoenix said making Naruto nod his head.

" Also my team discovered a slave market that bleeds into Blade and the rest of Beast. Apparently it had once belonged to Gato before his untimely death. Now its being used by the man Gato left in charge." Phoenix said making Naruto narrow his eyes.

" Phoenix when your team is ready and rested I want you to find this man and eliminate him. I was there when Zabuza-san rid the world of that tiny egomaniac. I wont let someone pick up where he left off." Naruto said making the woman nod her head.

" What of the slaves?" Phoenix asked.

"Give them enough money to send them back home. Those that have no home to return, offer them one in Sound." Naruto said making the woman nod her head.

" What about the children? Over half of the slaves are orphan children waiting to be tamed into slavery." The woman said making Naruto's eyes flash red.

" Those that have chakra have them sent to our academy. Those that don't have them take up residents in some of the Samurai Forts and the Marine Base. I already sent them orders that they might take in new recruits that will need years to mature." Naruto said making Phoenix nod her head. He soon took the file with the numbers of the increase in Sound's economy. He wrote down a number that he figured should be enough to help his expanding army take in the orphans.

" I heard about the things happening in Blade, but I never believed things would be so bad." Phoenix said making Naruto nod his head.

" These lands had the money to be an amazing place, however the bastards that ruled here nearly killed their people over nothing. Its going to take years to make things right. However I agreed to take on this responsibility, so I will see this madness to the end." Naruto said making Phoenix smile behind her mask.

" The good thing is that you have solved Oto's money problem. The problem is that it is going to get harder to trade with other nations." Phoenix said making Naruto nod his head.

" At the moment we don't need them. Lets just continue to focus on taking care of our own." Naruto said making Phoenix nod her head. He would make a lot of changes to help his people, those originally born in Sound and those that were added.

" This is the place." Sasuke said as he looked at a building that looked bigger than anything his family had in the lands they owned.

" Its entirely filled with members of the family. No civilians since the servants are in the next building separated from their masters to prevent infestation." A Chuunin said making Sasuke's eyes to narrow.

" Naruto wants this done as quick and as painful as possible." Sasuke said as he along with the eight Chuunin he lead pulled out Kunai with exploding tags.

The sounds of explosions soon filled the small village before a fire erupted in the home of the crime family that abused the helpless villagers. The broken people watched with awe as Ninja jumped over the walls to attack the remaining members. A Battalion of Samurai appeared and began to prevent anyone from entering the burning grounds or escaping. Women and children were captured while armed men were killed. A few of the Sound Samurai began to rush into the grounds of the crime family to offer their help to their master's Shinobi.

In less than an hour nearly a hundred criminals lost their lives. Many warriors of Sound got hurt, but none lost their life thanks to the squad system Naruto had the Samurai start practicing. Now their Samurai would travel in groups of five to cover each other's back during battle or patrol. It was to help ensure they would live to fight another day. A change that was proving useful and appreciated by his Samurai.

" How are things at the border Touka?" Naruto asked as Dragon entered the room and removed her mask. She was the first to start doing that, since she had the most respect for her new leader. The reason being that she spent the most time with him.

" Konoha has sent new squads to patrol, none have tried to cross over. The Samurai of Fire have yet to react." Touka said making Naruto nod his head.

" And everything else?" Naruto asked.

" The damage of the villages is no different than what we have discovered since our take over of these countries. The people would be better off dead, and evil has settled deep into these lands. I already brought with me the children that have showed promise in Ninjutsu." Touka said making Naruto give her a nod.

" My lord... we are going to help these people... right My lord?" Touka asked with hope for the civilians that were slaves without clear markers. She had seen things in these lands that she wouldn't wish on her enemies much less children.

" Yes Touka... I won't be letting them suffer anymore." Naruto said making the purple hair woman to fill with gratitude for her new master. "I already have groups spreading out with supplies to begin reaching those that need it. We've gotten a hold of a lot of money, but over half will be used to fix the damages the never ending wars have caused. Not to mention most of it needs to be sent to Oto's Mint to be converted into our currency." Naruto said making Touka nod her head. She had seen how many War lords used their images on the gold coins they had circulating in their countries.

" I still feel this is an impressive win My lord. If you hadn't acted on behalf of the people they would have certainly died in the hands of these tyrants." Touka said making Naruto nod his head.

" Touka... I'll be returning home tomorrow. I want you to come with me. The others will stay a bit longer, I would gladly join them, but I am needed elsewhere." Naruto said making the woman nod her head.

" I will be honored to escort you my lord." Touka said before walking Naruto to his temporary room after he turned off the lights in the office.

" Please wait my lord." Yagyuu Jubei said as he appeared with some of Samurai. Naruto's eyes grew as he saw them carrying traveling packs.

" These are members of my clan along with some students of my school. They are my most trusted warriors... I wish for them to join you whenever you must travel outside of the safety of your castle." The one eyed Samurai said as he got on his knees to show his dedication.

" We swear on the honor of the Yagyuu that we will serve the Uzumaki Clan until our dying breathe." The Samurai said as one making the civilians do the same a few moments later.

" You have freed us from great tyranny my lord. You have blessed us with generosity our people have not seen in generations. You lead us to a future we were never allowed to dream of. You shield the weak from evil as your will is spread by your Samurai and Shinobi. I now know that it was God leading my broken spirit to your grace. For no other man would do what you have done." Jubei said with great gratitude, his words completely sincere and full of emotions.

" There is no need for that. I did what any man in my position would have done." Naruto said making Jubei shake his head.

" Forgive my rudeness my lord, but I know that you are wrong. This world has lost many men of your value. Any other leader would have ignored my pleas. Any other man would have taken advantage of this miraculous victory and kept the treasures of my people for themselves. Instead you embrace the fallen, feed them, nurture them and heal their spirits. You use the power given to you to spread the wealth of your lands to those that need it. You give us hope that while we live under your flag we can live to see a better tomorrow. So please my lord. Bless my clan by allowing us to serve you. Let us be your shield in your time of need." The man said as he cried in gratitude. He had also been one of the many that had lost hope due to the never ending war plaguing their lands.

" Very well Jubei of the Yagyuu Clan." Naruto said making the man look Naruto in the eyes. " I will allow your family to guard me, I will also place the burden of governing some of these lands on the shoulders of your family." Naruto said making the eyes of the Yagyuu Samurai to fill with disbelief, along with all the Samurai and Shinobi present. "But I warn you." Naruto suddenly said as he appeared behind Jubei with a Rasengan ready to rip the man in half. No one watching had been able to see him his instant movement.

" If you fail these people, if I hear just a whisper of your school abusing the innocent. I will hunt down every last one of you .No Yagyuu will ever step foot outside of Sound if you prove to be a clan lacking the honor to lead. If you feel your family is not capable of such a task tell me now for I will not give it to you." Naruto said making the man look at the blond with a bit of fear.

" I only wish for what is best of my people. Although they have only been part of Sound for less than a week. They are already under my protection. They are my precious treasures and I refuse to allow any harm to come to them. For as long as one Uzumaki stands the people of Sound will have no reason to fear." Naruto said making the Civilians fill with awe and joy. Naruto stepped back as he walked through the kneeling Samurai with their heads down. Even if they faced the ground they had seen their new master ready to deal a death blow to their Clan Head.

" I want all of you to remember that Sound will become a country like no other. Our people will be the envy of the world. Our warriors, our Samurai and our Shinobi will have no equal. Our home will forever be a paradise worthy of providing us a safe haven. And your leaders will always give their lives to ensure the survival of our future. For without precious people to protect we will never have the strength to live." Naruto said as he turned to look at Yagyuu Jubei.

" Can you lead in this world Jubei? Can I trust you to do what is for the best of my people? Can I trust you to follow my will without you stabbing me in the back?" Naruto asked making the man to feel a great burden being placed on him.

" I will do anything that you ask of me. My Lord." Jubei said as he accepted his new burden with pride. His eye grew when he caught a scroll that was thrown at him.

"That is my will Jubei of the Yagyuu Clan... make sure that it is followed and modify them if you feel it will be to the benefit of our people." Naruto said before turning to leave. Touka instantly falling a few steps behind him as she traveled in normal clothes. The Shinobi guard around him vanishing to watch for any potential enemy. While the Samurai followed with no sign of failing their new duty.

" All hail our Otokage!" A voice yelled as the massive Gates of Sound were opened. Naruto filled with awe as many of his people were present to see him return from war victorious. The Samurai of the Yagyuu clan filled with disbelief and joy as they watched the people of their Master start celebrating.

" Its good to see you back Naruto-sama." Kabuto said as he stood with the members of the Council.

" It's good to be back...especially with a welcoming like this one." Naruto said making Kabuto adjust his glasses.

" Everyone has heard of your accomplishments. Which is why I ensured all proper preparations are being met." Kabuto said making Naruto nod his head.

" I'm glad to hear that... Maki." Naruto said to his secretary that had been forced to stay behind.

" Yes, Naruto-sama?" The green haired teen asked.

" The Samurai joining me are members of the Yagyuu Clan. They have volunteered to become my personal Vanguard at all times." Naruto said making the eyes of those around him to grow. " I wish for them to be given a fair amount of land so that their branch of their clan can live in peace. I refuse to allow all of them to shadow me every moment of my life. Charge my account for the grounds they will take, along with paying for the construction of their new home. Until then they need some apartments to stay at." Naruto said making the Yagyuu Samurai to fill with disbelief. Maki nodded her head since she knew her leader wanted to invest as much money into the village as possible.

" My lord such things are not necessary." The younger brother of Jubei said making the golden blond to turn to him.

" Even if they are not it is my wish for you to have them... do you plan to deny what I want? Are my gifts not good enough for your Kin? Do you plan to upset me so early in your duty Yoshi of the Yagyuu?" Naruto asked the young man making him shake his head.

" I will accept three guards in immediate reaching distance, six at my home at all times along with Ten at the Tower." Naruto said making Yoshi nod his head. " I would also ask of you to open a dojo of your sword style to teach those you find worthy and to help strengthen the power of your clan." Naruto calmly said making the man nod his head.

" It will be done my lord." Yoshi said as he kneel with the Samurai under his command.

" Until then you are free to learn of your new home. The guards you assign to me will inform you of any news I wish to give you... oh and before I forget have all the gold coins you have taken to a bank then exchanged into Sound Currency. It will make things much easier now that this is place is your new home. Maki have a Chuunin ensure they are given a fair trade." Naruto said making the Green haired Chuunin to nod her head.

" Akifumi, Hiroda, Ohno..." Yoshi said making three teen move to stand in front of him. Naruto watched the trio as they stood ready to serve. The tallest had a light tan with Black hair and brown eyes. He had a white bandanna keeping his eyes hair free. The second black haired teen to Naruto's shock had a Pompadour hairstyle. While the third, cool and calm looking was a blond with spiky hair. His coloring being in between that of Naruto and Ino. He also had some multiple piercing in his ears, not enough to scare people but enough to show he wasn't too key on doing what others tried to force him to do.

Normally Naruto would question such guys to be used as guards but he could feel their will to prove themselves, along with an air that reminded him off his old skipping mates.

" From now on you are to accompany our master wherever he goes. Your duty starts from sun up and ends when our masters is in the safety of his home." Yoshi said making the teens to nod their heads.

" In the name of the Yagyuu we will not fail." The teens said as they took a knee in front of their new charge.

" See that you don't." Yoshi said before thanking his master for everything, before leaving with his clan mates to explore their new home.

" Let us leave you three... I need to make one quick visit to the tower before the day ends." Naruto said making the teens to follow him.

" Naruto-sama if it is fine with you I wish to have a few words with the Yoshi-san." Kabuto said making Naruto nod his head.

" We will have all preparations for a Council meeting tomorrow morning Nindaime-sama." The Council Head said making Naruto give him a grateful nod.

" Be patient my friend... I will inform you all of the changes that are to come." Naruto said making the older man to leave with a smile. The friendship Naruto offered the council had instantly won over the majority. Only a few followed the path of the Council of Konoha. Naruto already was ready in case they tried anything. He refused to play their shadow games any more than necessary.

" Tell me Kabuto... what have you learned of the Yagyuu." Naruto asked the master level spy.

" They have the makings of a Samurai clan to rival the men of Iron Country. I have already sent word to a few spies to help us gain training techniques." Kabuto said as he stood in Naruto's living room. The golden blond had retired for the night but in the safety of his home Kabuto would inform him of certain things that they refused others to hear.

" I don't want to risk upsetting Mifune...perhaps there is another place we can steal from." Naruto said making Kabuto shake his head.

" The Samurai of Iron Country are the greatest in all the lands. They are known to match Shinobi in battle. Some are even known to reach Jounin level. The reason being is that they have learned to use chakra with their sword style." Kabuto said making Naruto frown before going into a thinking pose.

" Then the solution is simple... make the Yagyuu develop chakra based techniques. Have them learn the basic of Shinobi... Tree Climbing and Water walking should help them greatly in battle." Naruto said making Kabuto nod his head.

" Perhaps we can even have them fuse elemental chakra to their blades?" Kabuto asked making Naruto nod his head.

" They would need proper weapons to handle such things... I will provide them on a later date." Naruto said making Kabuto nod his head.

" Is there anything else Kabuto?" Naruto asked.

" No dangers withing our borders but some patrols have sensed Shinobi teams probing our defenses." Kabuto said making Naruto frown.

" How serious is the danger level?" Naruto asked.

" Nothing out of the ordinary but I would request to increase the teams patrolling soon." Kabuto said making Naruto nod his head.

" And this comes from one of my informants." Kabuto said as he handed a scroll to the golden blond.

" I see... I'll be handling this myself." Naruto said as he closed the scroll.

" I figured you would." Kabuto said before vanishing with Shushin.

The golden blond watched from his Tower as his people lived their lives in the safety of the walls of the Capital. His afternoon a calm and easy one, his Yagyuu guards easily relaxing but never dropping their guards as they also enjoyed the view. Naruto's ANBU guard ever vigilant as they watched their leader enjoy himself.

" Every day I learn to fall in love with Sound a little more." Naruto said with a smile as he watched a Chuunin give some money to a little girl that had accidentally bumped into him and made a mess with her snack.

Naruto eyes closed as he took in the sound of his people enjoying themselves. He opened them and focused at the academy... today was going to be the day the children of Beast Country began their new classes. Since it was such a large group that needed extra help Naruto had paid to have additional instructors added to the Academy's staff. The four new instructors were going to be in charge of helping the children catch up to the students their age. While two more were assigned in making sure the newest orphans to Otogakure learned to properly read and write.

A lack of basic education was found in many of the children with chakra wielding potential. It made Naruto inform Jubei that he wanted the education system to be improved as fast as possible.

Naruto soon turned to the Village's Warehouses. He could seen Chuunin and Genin filling them up along with a few merchants doing the same with some of their goods. Preparation for their withdraw from the world was now under way and would soon take into affect. Naruto made Kabuto keep a careful eye on their preparations.

" I'm surprised to find you up her Otokage-sama." A voice said making Naruto turn.

" What are you doing here Gurren?" Naruto asked with a bit of shock.

" An ANBU team was able to capture some Iwa Nin... they were coming to say hello to the son of their greatest enemy." The black haired woman said making Naruto's eyes to grow with shock. His Yagyuu guard instantly tightening their hold on their swords while scanning the area.

The sensor on the ANBU team quickly searching for any foreign chakra.

" What did you learn from them?" Naruto asked the crystal making woman.

" Iwa hates your guts, while the Tsuchikage is not sure what to think of you. Apparently the Daimyo of Earth doesn't care since his country is worth far more than yours. Even if Sound has doubled in size, he still thinks of us as nothing more than trash to be swept away." Gurren said as she crossed her arms as she watched as Naruto's eyes gave her a peek into the thoughts flowing through her head. She smirked as a fox like grin appeared on Naruto.

" When was the last time you were allowed to take a vacation Gurren?" Naruto said making her confused she had assumed he was going to send an assassination squad to Onoki not ask about accumulated time off.

" Haven't taken a real one since Orochimaru had me focusing on capturing the Sanbi." Gurren said making Naruto's grin to grow.

" How about we fix that problem?" Naruto said making Gurren look at him with confusion.

" Before coming to Sound I learned a secret about myself. One that will allow me to hurt the Daimyo of Earth for looking down on us." Naruto said making Gurren wonder what he had planned. Especially with so little time before Sound seals itself off from the world.
