Chapter 131 - Chapter 133

Name:A New Path Author:Vallori
Amell was quite annoyed at how poorly he apparently planned his return to The Elemental Nations. There was as he suspected, something big going on in the world now. The twelve leaves are what Naruto, Sasuke and their friends had been named by the world because of their outstanding results in this war that was brewing. What this all meant was that Amell had basically been dropped into another situation where he would get no rest, which he did not enjoy at all.

But Naruto's group had become quite famous around the world. They were known as the twelve leaves, and Naruto and Sasuke were known as the collective leaders of the group. And they became famous for fighting and sealing away the reanimated ninjas that had popped up around the world lately.

They all went inside the house, following Amell as no one wanted to walk in front of him. The first floor was like it had always been, a hall used for sparring and training. But now it was just a lot bigger than before, and all the leaves could probably fight at the same time, and it would still be space left to spare.

"Nice change, who designed this?" Amell asked as he walked inside. He quickly walked to the centre of the room and sat down.

"Mom did, she designed it so that the team could have somewhere to hang out and train. We're pretty happy with it." Naruto said. Amell looked at him in shock because he said Mom, that was not something he had ever heard Naruto say before.

"Mom?" He questioned Naruto while smiling in a silly manner.

"Yep, that would be me, darling," A beautiful female voice sounded out and footsteps echoed around them as Sylvia came walking down the stairs with her still beautiful smile plastered on her face.

"Sylvia," Amell said and observed her enchanting form, and the absolute perfect face, the same one he fell in love with all those years ago.

"Welcome back to the world of the living," Sylvia said and walked up to her husband. Without hesitation, she jumped up and wrapped her hands around his neck, and gave him the biggest kiss they had ever shared together.

Naruto gagged and almost threw up, "Gross! Do that any other place, please!" He said and looked away. And it was the same with the rest of the group, they all looked away while looking and feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Deal with it, son," Amell said and smiled. He signalled everyone to sit down, and he and Sylvia did the same thing.

"It's good to see you, Naruto. And you too, Sasuke. You've both grown a little too tall for my liking." Amell said and laughed. Naruto and Sasuke had grown taller than Sylvia, so they looked like proper teenagers.

"Thanks, Dad, I'm fourteen this year! So I'm not a little kid anymore." Naruto said with his signature big bright smile.

Sasuke sighed and shook his head, and he turned to look at Amell again, "Uncle Amell, Alucard listens only to you, can you get him to help us with capturing Kabuto?" He asked with a serious tone.

Amell looked a Sasuke with a serious expression. But he soon broke off his expression and smiled confidently and said, "No! This is not my war. You started this when you let Kabuto escape from prison. This is your fight now, and plus, I am not staying that long, I have another journey to go on." Amell said and shocked both the boys greatly.

"Are you leaving here and going to the same place again?" Naruto said, not especially upset that he was leaving. He and Sasuke knew Amell pretty much controlled or had great influence of many worlds, so they both had stopped behaving like brats that asked why this? And why that? They accepted that they had their lives here and that Amell had responsibility for an entire Empire spanning three worlds.

"No, it's a different place, it's been a very long time since I visited it. I will be gone for many years this time as well, but this time I won't hold it a secret to where I am going, so if you two ever feel like visiting, just ask Alucard to take you." Amell said with a smile, and the boys nodded slowly.

"Well, I am going with you this time! I need a good vacation!" Sylvia said and fist-bumped the air excitedly, which earned her laughs from the group.

"So, Naruto, have you been in contact with Gildarts at all since he left with me?" Amell asked in genuine curiosity.

"That idiot? I love my him dearly, but Holy Hell can he be annoying... He came and visited a while back, and literally all he did was brag about all the girlfriends he had. And apparently, he is famous over there for being a cool and powerful fighter. But I don't see how the words cool can possibly fit in on him." Naruto said and crossed his arms.

"I mean, he defeated you with one arm, Naruto, and that was pretty cool to me." Ino said and blushed a little while smiling. She almost immediately dreamed herself away in some sort of fantasy.

"SHUT UP, INO! He cheated!!" Naruto screamed with his face entirely red, his conquerors haki actually flared for a second and caused a small crack to spread underneath his feet.

"Calm down there, fox boy!" Tenten said and laughed out loud, and the rest of the group also laughed a little at Naruto.

"Yeah, I agree, Gildarts is actually very cool in comparison to his idiot younger brother." Kiba, the boy with the big dog next to him said and started laughing hysterically. Naruto snapped his head over in Kiba's direction and launched himself at him with his chakra flared. But a guy with insanely bushy eyebrows stepped in and held Naruto back.

"Let me go, Lee! I AM GONNA KILL HIM!" Naruto screamed while struggling, and Lee was forced to use his full strength just to hold him back.

"Naruto, calm down, Gildarts is a lot older than you, so no need to panic, you have all the time in the world to catch up." Neji, the Hyuga prodigy said in a tranquil tone of voice, and he sat there and stole a glance at Amell, someone he greatly admired, hoping he wouldn't notice.

"Well said, kid, you have a great future ahead of you." Amell said to his secret fanboy.

"Thank you, Master Amell!" Neji said and bowed his head enthusiastically.

Amell nodded and took another look around the room, and all the people that were gathered here. And his eyes landed on Sasuke, so he locked gazes with him and stood up and walked over.

"Sasuke, stay still!" Amell put a finger against Sasuke's forehead and channeled controlled amounts of cosmic energy into the boy. And much like Toph experienced, Sasuke felt a sensation inside his eyes, it felt weird to him, like it should hurt but it didn't for some reason.

"There we go," Amell took away his finger and walked back to Sylvia while Sasuke opened his eyes.

"What did you do to my eyes?" Sasuke asked. He trusted Amell, but that didn't mean he wasn't at all curious.

"You'll see eventually. Let's just say I made things less complicated." Amell didn't say anything more after that.

"Anyway, tell me about the last couple years, what interesting things have happened here?" Amell asked the group, and they started telling him about the events he had missed.
