It took only a few days for him to return to Kiri, arriving in a ray of light landing directly from the Mizukage's building. Mei was dealing with the usual paperwork when the flash arrived in the early morning.
"You're finally here..." Mei murmured, raising an eyebrow as Naruto appeared with his cloak fluttering after entering through the window.
"I've finished everything I needed to do," Naruto said, as Mei stared at him for a while.
"What are you planning now... are you going to do what you told me?" Mei asked, and Naruto nodded.
"Yes, but I don't intend to put it back into a vessel," Naruto spoke firmly.
"Do you think this will work?" Mei asked.
"I don't know, but I'll talk to him," Naruto replied.
"Who will be the summoner? Akame?" She immediately asked with a bit of caution.
"There's no one better for this. Akame will be my link to him, and there's no one better. You know that, even if she isn't originally from this village like I am, she saved the village," Naruto said, while Mei ended up agreeing with him.
"Alright... And I think you should find her. She wasn't very happy that you disappeared for days. For a moment, I thought she was going to attack me when I said you left," Mei said, and Naruto nodded.
"Then I'll find her. I'll be going now," Naruto said.
"Wait," Mei requested, with Naruto immediately stopping and looking at her with a curious sparkle. "Didn't you say you went after a sword? Can I see it?" she asked.
"Sure," Naruto replied, raising his hand, and with a glow, a golden sword materialized with a flash in his hand.
"This is really new... but the sword is truly beautiful," Mei had to admit, even though she had never seen such a design before. It seemed even superior to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
"Speaking of which..." She continued, "There are some indications that one of the Ninja Swordsmen is on the coast of the elemental nations," Mei said, and Naruto nodded.
"That sounds interesting, I'll investigate as soon as I get back," Naruto said with a satisfied tone.
"Alright. Just don't give me too much work," Naruto heard Mei say in a tired tone.
"Look at you, you're perfect for being behind that desk," Naruto laughed as Mei looked at him with a somber gaze. "Even so, I think you should go out from time to time, maybe meet someone," Naruto smiled mischievously.
"..." Mei just looked at him as if he were an idiot and saw him disappear the next moment.
Naruto didn't fly directly to his property but ended up landing on the road below the Mizukage's building, storing his sword, and continued walking to stroll through the village.
The village had its own activity as shops selling various things opened that day. The main type of food the people of this country consumed was rice and fish, and half of the shops were selling them, with thousands of merchants entering and leaving the village every day.
Everything seemed quite normal, considering that just over a year ago, this place was nearly destroyed in the fight against the Mizukage. The busy citizens with their own affairs soon noticed Naruto walking through the village alone and looked at him curiously.
Naruto saw them bowing their heads to him as he passed, after all, Naruto was known throughout the place. "Naruto-Sama..." A shop owner greeted him as he walked by.
Naruto nodded before continuing his way through the village until he found an interesting place, the Mist Academy itself, where various children trained in an open field in front of the building.
"Naruto!!!" He had stopped to watch the children training until someone among them noticed him, and Naruto heard Lola calling him, the girl he met in the rebel camp.
"Lola..." Naruto opened a small smile as the girl approached.
"Little Lola, you have to be respectful to Naruto-Sama," a chuunin approached with a severe tone while Lola looked lost between the chuunin and Naruto.
"It's alright," Naruto replied calmly, not irritated with Lola or her teacher. He just crouched down and touched the now ten-year-old girl's forehead. "Are you training hard?" he asked.
Opening a smile and with a sparkle in her eyes, she immediately exclaimed, "I'm preparing to be a great Kunoichi. I'll be very strong to defend justice!" She said with pride, and Naruto smiled at this.
"That's good..." Naruto said, knowing that his desire had begun to echo among the younger ones, creating a different ideology in this village. This was Naruto's plan; it was why he left the Leaf Village and temporarily abandoned his family. He could never start this in the Leaf Village while he was still young. Maybe he could do it in the future, but he wanted to avoid the upcoming tragedies in this world, and Kiri became the most ideal place. After all, where there are crises, there are opportunities.
Now, with the village being rebuilt and restructuring its system, Naruto began to implement his plan to create a new foundation of thoughts and ideas behind the formation of new ninjas, which he would spread to the entire ninja world soon.
This thought was interrupted by a bunch of children rushing towards him as well. "Naruto-Sama!! We'll be as strong as you! We'll fight for justice!" They exclaimed, surrounding Naruto.
"That's good, let's use our strength and power to defend the right ideals in this dark world. I'm sure you'll tread the right path and be the future of this world," Naruto said with a proud smile to the children who would graduate in a few years.
"Naruto-Sama! Your words are so inspiring!" The Chuunin exclaimed, wiping tears from his eyes.
"Yes!" The children responded in a joyful and firm tone.
"That's good... now I have to go, I have some things to do," Naruto said, while the children looked at him with disappointed faces, but Naruto just smiled at that.
"Won't you give us a lesson or do that light show you always do?" One of the children looked at Naruto with puppy eyes as he spoke.
Naruto, having plans to change the mindset of the shinobis in this world, ended up being a teacher for many days at the ninja academy, talking about philosophies nonexistent in this world, starting to develop an alternative way of thinking in this world where hatred seems to be the most predominant feeling, making humans commit atrocities.
"How about this?" Naruto saw the children's sad faces and raised his hand, summoning his sword for everyone to see. "This will be known as the eighth blade of the mist," Naruto declared.
"OOOWWW," the children exclaimed in awe, looking at the golden sword as if it were an incredible treasure.
Naruto pointed upward as it glowed faintly at the tip, before launching a small light upwards, creating a fireworks explosion above Kiri, as he always did for the children.
After that, Naruto said his goodbyes while the Chuunin bowed his head to Naruto before taking the children back inside. Naruto couldn't help but notice Lola wearing a t-shirt with the print of that same flower the girl had given him and called the Flower of Justice. The name caught on, and everyone has called it that since then, being a flower exclusively from this country.
A moment later, Naruto appeared in his home, passing through the rest of the village. It was a huge property with a Japanese mansion, and its gate had the symbol of the surname he took for himself, the Uzumaki with the whirlpool.
He entered the place, and it didn't take long to hear explosions coming from one corner, where Akame was training with her Haki. Naruto approached while Akame was training on a large piece of land on his property used for their training.
Naruto built this place in one of the areas devastated by the bijuu fights during the village's takeover, and he made his own home while Akame was the only one living with him. Kimimaro decided to return to his clan's property outside the village, and Utakata also had a place in the city while he raised his one-year-old son, who he had after things stabilized in the village.
Akame stopped spitting fire and looked at Naruto with a questioning tone. "You didn't take me," she immediately complained.
"There were things I had to do alone. I had to travel to the other side of the continent, so I decided to go alone," Naruto replied calmly and logically.
"You could have taken me," she pouted, but Naruto just smiled.
"This would be quite dangerous. I don't have chakra, so I can pass through any border sentry unnoticed, but your chakra would be detected. Anyway, I found a Uchiha from the combatant states," Naruto said while Akame sighed, understanding his logic.
"A Uchiha? From before the villages?" Akame looked at Naruto with a strange expression, finally understanding his statement.
"Yes... She is sealed. But she didn't have a very difficult life..." Naruto responded.
"Who is she?" Akame asked.
"We can talk about it while we head to the sea..." Naruto said with a smile, noting Akame's look of confusion.
"You'll come with me. Your Mangekyou Sharingan has given you much more chakra than someone your age should have, so I have a plan and need you to accompany me to see someone I killed in this place," Naruto replied, while Akame knew that Naruto wouldn't say anything more about this mystery.
Naruto went home afterward to take a bath and spent the rest of the day relaxing and reading some books. "You leave Mei there fighting, and you're reading books?" Akame couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, seeing Naruto so calm. She had some jealousy of Mei when she was with Naruto, but she certainly knew what was fair or not.
"You can't say that. I'm looking for important things that could increase the village's power. This world barely uses engines, so I'm looking at some records that I might use. I want to create a fleet of ships in this country," Naruto said without taking his eyes off the book, seeing how the engines worked in this world but were rarely used due to the chakra present in each person, except Naruto.
He continued with this throughout the night while Akame went to her room, and Naruto went to rest in his. The next day, they prepared to leave after a meal, while he asked an Anbu to deliver a scroll to Mei. Then he headed east, where the sea was open, to search for the Sanbi, who had revived a few months ago. Naruto wanted to see if he could talk to it, as it was a military force that, if the Mist Village didn't use, someone else would.
