Chapter 103 - Chinoike Clan [2] (1/2)

''Waaaaa! Naruto-nii-san, my father was bullying me again!'' A little girl with platinum blonde hair ran towards Naruto before hugging him. From the place she came, a man with similar hair and a bit of beard said: ''Little Chino, stop bothering Nanadaime-sama.''

In response, he only got a tongue stuck out of her mouth. Naruto sweatdropped a bit at her response before thinking to himself: 'I wasn't like that at all... I wasn't. I... wasn't?'

Shaking his head to dispel these unnecessary thoughts, Naruto said: ''I'm sure that your father is probably busy, don't forget that he's the Chinoike Clan Head, little Chino. Here, a gift for you, if you are ever in danger, you just need to flare up your Chakra and it's done, I'll protect you.''

''There's one for you too, Oyashiro-san. Just in case something happens.'' Naruto said as the man nodded, he wouldn't refuse it. If it wasn't because of Naruto, his Clan would be completely annihilated, not to mention that having a 'backup' like this was very important.

Oyashiro shook his head lightly before he said in a helpless tone: ''Nanadaime-sama, I think that you're spoiling little Chino too much, she's already 12 years old yet you're treating her like a kid.''

''Technically she's still a kid.''

Oyashiro: ''...''

Chino: ''Ey! I'm not a kid, I'm already a grown-up woman!''

Sighing, Naruto took out a small box at which a single Seal stood by, it looked simple yet complex at the same time. Handing it to Oyashiro, he said: ''All members of your Clan have already pledged loyalty to Uzushiogakure, this box contains all necessary headbands. If they want, they can already take up missions.''

One may ask how can such a new Village already have missions? It's simple, at the start, the Three Great Shinobi Villages didn't want to accept Uzushiogakure's existence. In a showcase of strength, Naruto did a small visit to Kumogakure, Iwagakure and Kirigakure.

As for Sunagakure, they even pronounced that whoever became enemies of Uzushiogakure would also be Sunagakure's enemies, the same happened to Konohagakure. In just a quick one year, Uzushiogakure was acknowledged as a Great Shinobi Village.

'I guess that Gaara let go the darkness within his heart. I wonder if I can do the same, someday...?' Naruto thought to himself while chuckling a bit. He had already his goal set for this world.

He didn't know if it was possible but Naruto wasn't one to give up.

This started a new era for the Shinobis as the once Five Great Shinobi Villages became Six Great Shinobi Village. Many envoys from different small Villages near the Land of Whirlwinds were sent in order to ask for protection, in turn, they would assist with many things.

It was also widely known that Uzushiogakure would take over orphans of wars on their Village. However, no matter how many spies Kumo, Iwa and Kirigakure sent, all of them would be caught and then, sent back.

After some time, they simply gave up.

'A Village can't be only the Clans for it to prosper, nor can it prosper on its own. It needs villagers, common humans. Lives worth being protected, lives whose destiny isn't allowed to fall downhill because of unfortunate events.' Naruto thought to himself while passing through some paperwork.
