Creating houses

Araki's concentration soon broke, and the Sage Chakra was seemingly flushed out of his body.

"That was an odd feeling. It felt as if I had found the missing part of myself… This energy… It was oddly familiar to that energy I felt when I entered the world of the Gedo Statue." As he realised it, a smile spread on Araki's face, "Senjutsu doesn't seem hard to control, just denser than chakra… But, still, raising my perception to sense it is quite the challenge."

"Or maybe is it just because there is a low amount of Sage Chakra around here?" He shrugged at the end of his statement. There was little he could do regarding that.

At this time, an Uzumaki Clan Member appeared. It was a young woman in her early twenties.

"Araki-sama… As you have ordered, all the seals around the island have been replaced. Should we finally bring all the clan members here?" She asked for his orders.

"Relocate the entire Uzumaki Clan which had been in the Land of the Waves. And… I also give you the right to remove the seals with which you have changed your hair colour. From now, you can declare yourself as the members of the Uzumaki Clan." As he finished speaking, he noticed the sight of that young woman trembling.

Perhaps it was in happiness, excitement, or maybe eagerness, the young woman gave him a complete bow, "T-Thank you, Araki-sama! I will immediately inform them of your orders."

Araki acknowledged her bow and soon stood up.

He started walking towards the location where the original Uzumaki Clan's settlement was built.

Although the young woman was very eager to inform Araki's order to them all, she still contained that eagerness and followed after him.

Araki spoke with a small smile over his face, "Even though this location had been cleaned in this year, it would be quite troublesome for the Uzumaki Clan Members to come and rebuild the settlement here. I guess I can lend a helping hand…"

Before the young woman could comment on it, Araki clasped his head and concentrated for a few seconds.

It was taking him quite some time, but soon enough, he opened them and said, "Wood Release: Four-Pillar House Jutsu! Times 1000!"

A bead of sweat went down his face as he used this Jutsu. For some seconds, nothing happened. But soon enough, the entire island rumbled! It felt like the entire island itself was shaking at this moment.

And soon… Wood suddenly shot out from the ground. The young woman realised that it was not at one, two, or three points… Nearly thousands of wood pillars had shot out of the ground—each one at a particular distance from the other.

Each one was moving at a similar rate… The young woman didn't dare to blink while it occurred in front of her eyes.

It was as if she was witnessing something majestic.

She had naturally seen Araki creating a house for himself using Wood Release. However, she had never seen a Jutsu with such a wide range.

Before she realised it, the Houses had been created.

"Well, these should be enough, I guess," Araki said before starting to walk towards the edge of the island.

He soon reached the point where the Uzumaki Clan had bitterly fought against the Army of the Three Great Villages. He recalled some fond memories of his first Kenjutsu Master, Uzumaki Takuya.

He started walking on water…

He was well aware of what route he must take to reach Nami without injuring himself.

The young woman soon came after him. She had seemingly come to ask him one last thing, "Araki-sama, what should we do about those people who had seen us? Should we kill them all?"

"Aren't you cruel, Miss Rika? Killing them seems a bit too much." Araki asked her with a small smile on his face.

"Araki-sama, I believe we must not be softhearted in this mat-" She immediately stopped speaking when she noticed Araki staring at her, quite gently in fact.

"Please punish me for speaking out of turn, Araki-sama." She immediately said when she felt like she had made a mistake.

In turn, Araki shook his head, "Killing them gives me a bad taste… To me, these are simply pitiful people who had seen something they shouldn't have. Just bring them on the island and let them live as they want. They shouldn't be able to leave or inform anyone else of this news. After some time, it won't be a big deal in letting them return to the Land of Waves since I would be declaring the revival of the Uzumaki Clan in the whole Elemental Nations."

"As you command, Araki-sama," Rika spoke out while giving a bow.

She then disappeared by using the Body Flicker Jutsu.

After she disappeared, Araki gazed in front before slowly walking, "Five Great Villages… I wonder how many will remain by the time I am done?" An amused smile appeared on his face as he continued to walk forward.

Araki returned to Konoha by the end of the week.

It had been nearly a week since Uzumaki Clan had completely relocated itself in Uzushio.

Some rumours did spread, but they were related to the fact that Samazaki Clan had suddenly disappeared from the Land of waves.

Because of selling storage seals, the Samazaki Clan was quite well known among the people of the Land of Waves.

They couldn't believe this clan had left so suddenly.

Araki was sure that all the villages would send their own teams to investigate the cause of their departure.

He wondered if someone would be foolish enough to attempt to go to Uzushio. He wasn't worried about the Uzumaki Clan Members. He knew that whoever attempted to go to the Uzushio without knowing the route was just courting death.

Moreover, he had left quite a few 'surprises' for sensors there. Currently, only a selected few people could hope to forcefully breakthrough these seals and reach Uzushio. And these people numbered less than 20.

9 of them were the tailed beasts and after them were the Kages of the Great Villages. He didn't really know if the Third Kazekage would be able to go past the seals or not, but Araki felt there was no harm in overestimating the man. The Sand Village did like to believe that the Third Kazekage was their strongest Kage until now.

Araki met up with Kushina. The first thing Kushina did was kiss him passionately on his lips. Before long, Araki returned the passion and broke the kiss.

"I missed you…"

"I missed you more, dattebane!" Kushina exclaimed while hugging him tightly.

It had been quite some time since he last heard this verbal tic from Kushina's mouth. Araki couldn't help but let out a light-hearted chuckle.

"What happened here while I was gone? That old man tried to make a move against the Senju Clan?" Araki asked her while gently caressing Kushina's hair.

Kushina shook her head and replied, "The Third Hokage had in fact been very silent. He didn't even call out for Tsunade. If I didn't know any better, I would think that the old man had given up."

"That's surprising… I thought the Third Hokage surely would have taken advantage of my absence. Well, not that it matters now…"

In the next few weeks, the situations tarted get to normal. All the Great Villages were preparing for War.

And around this time, Uchiha Kazuma had revealed somethings to his son.
