-----Library-----

"Hmm..." Naruto thinking and reading Book with Elemental Seals. "Naruko?"

"Yea, Nii-san?"

"Did you find a book with seals I was asking?"

"Sorry couldn't find. Can you tell me please what seals are you looking for?" Naruko asked.

"Seals for swords and for weights."

"Okay, Thanks."

'How did I end up with her here???' Naruto thoughts and grabs his head in frustration.

Several minutes pass. "Nii-san I think I found one!" Naruko shouted. 'Maybe he is helpful after all...' He chuckled "Show me!" shouted back. Naruko approached him with the book. I grabbed book and read title "Book of Sword Seals. Yeah, this is it. Thanks Naruko. But did you found other one?" He asked.

"Sadly no." she said with sad voice.

"Ehh... Don't worry no need to rush. By the way I won't craft this sword in only one day." He said smiled at her.

"How many time this sword will take, Nii-san?" Naruko asked.

"I don't know... Maybe from four to six days or more."

"That long?!"she asked surprised.

"Yes, after all I will work on sword made from Black Diamond. This material is the hardest in the world so you need to know how much strength I need to shape metal."

"It's still too much." she pouted and Naruto laughed a bit.

"Naruko all works take required time." 'Maybe... I... Should forgive her??? I feel like... Like she is my family... Someone who don't betrayed me... I need to think about it... Dad do you have any clues for me right now???' Naruto thought before starts reading again. "You should go sleep Naruko."

"And what about you?" she asked and yawned.

"I don't need much sleep. And I prefer working at night."

"Okay. I will go. Bye Nii-san." she waved her hand to me.

"Yea, bye." I waved her back. 'Did I... Really want to forgive her? Okay... Don't bother about it now... I need to work now... I need to clear my mind...' He thought before went to read books about seals.

-----Next Day 8AM-----

"I should go to Tsunade. If she want to gather council I don't go there I have better things to do right now." Naruto thought to himself loud before stood up and went to Hokage's Office.

-----Hokage's Office-----

Someone is knocking.

"Come in!" Tsunade shouted.

Naruto walk in "What do you want from me? I have better things to do." he said annoyed this whole meeting.

"Naruto, I will gather council and we will talk about you being ninja again."

"How about... No?" Naruto said.

"WHAT?!" She shouted.

"I don't go with you as I said now I have better things to do. Call for me in one week, Tsunade, then I can go to meet this bastards." Naruto said.

"What if they said they need to talk to you now?"

"Screw them. Tell them that they have to talk to me personally if they want to talk with me in this moment." Naruto said irritated.

"Ehh... You are dismissed, Naruto." she said and sighed.

"One more thing, Tsunade." He said.

'Damn what is it...' "Yea?"

"Where is this forge? I want to start working today since I almost done in library." Naruto said.

"To the left of Ichiraku Ramen."

"Thanks." He thanked and left with grin in his face. 'Now only know how to create seals directly on the sword... Maybe Frost or Snow should know... I will ask them later...' Naruto thought and went to the library to finish reading about seals.

-----Later That Day-----

"Okay, I should go to the forge now. I know everything about seals... Now only make my sword..." Naruto thought loud to himself with big fox grin. Second later Naruko walk in to the library.

"Nii-san!" Naruko shouted to Naruto.

"Yes?"

"Have you done your research about seals?" She asked.

"Yes, now I want to go to the forge."

"Can I go too?"

"Do what you want. But don't tell me that it's hot or something, okay?" Naruto asked with fake smile.

"Sure thing, Naruto-nii!"

"Good, lets go I don't want to waste more time."

"Okay, lets go!" she shouted.

'I really don't know what to do now... Dad, please give me a sign of what I should do...' Naruto thought and sighed. Naruto take some books about seals only to know if he do seals on his sword this perfectly and then he and Naruko went to forge.

-----Forge-----

Naruto walk in the forge. And looked around. "Not bad..."

"Wow." Naruko said in amazement.

"What, you never been in the forge?" Naruto asked.

"Why should I? It's not like I can craft weapons by myself. But now I can see how it works."

"Sure. If you want be here you need to help me so I can finish my work sooner." Naruto said with smile.

"Sure thing! So what should I do first." Naruko asked with big smile.

"Hmmm... You can go heat up furnace and I will take few thing that might me help."

"Okay, Naruto-nii!"

"So, lets go to work we can most likely four or five days to finish this." After that Naruko went to heat up furnace and Naruto went to get some blacksmith equipment. 'If we will hurry up with this we can finish sword in three or four days and then one day to make seals on it... I think I will forgive her... Dad I don't know if this is the right thing... I remember our dream but... She is different... She care for me... She is like my real family... Not like those who betrayed me six years ago... I should forgive her... But now I will observe her if something changes... Wish me luck dad...' Naruto thought and then smiled. Naruko of course saw this smile and on her face smile appear to 'I think I make progress with Naruto-nii...'

-----Council Room-----

"Tsunade, where is Naruto?" Minato asked.

"Yea, where is that demon?!" one man from civilain council shouted.

"Shut up!" Tsunade yelled and released some KI. Everyone went silent. "Now, when it's quiet, I can tell you a message from Naruto."

"What message?" Danzo asked.

"He said he don't meet us in one week." Tsunade said.

"WHY?!" Hiashi shouted.

"He said he have something better to do. And also he said that if you want to talk to him now then you can go to him and talk with him." Tsunade said.

"What is so important?" Shikaku asked calm.

"Sword made from Black Diamond." Minato said.

"Black Diamond you say?" Danzo said. "I heard this simple sword but only is hardest from regular one."

"I know. But he can know something we don't." Minato said with hand rubbed his head.

"And what he can know that we don't?!" Danzo asked and rise his voice.

"You think I know? But we can find out in due time." Minato said.

"How?" Danzo asked.

"My daughter Naruko is with him helping him work. Maybe he will tell her something." Minato said.

"I doubt it." Tsunade said.

"What do you mean?" Minato asked.

"You know even if Naruto allows Naruko work with him doesn't mean he will tell her anything about Black Diamond." Tsunade said.

"Why not?" Kushina asked.

"Because he can have the last Black Diamond bars." Tsunade said.

"You can have right. But I still have hope that he will tell her something." Minato said. "I think we should end this meeting."

"I agree." Danzo said and then everyone said same thing. After seconds in room stayed Tsunade. 'Minato you are doing wrong thing... You will break her heart... But then this isn't my problem...' with that thought Tsunade walk out to her office and start doing paperwork.
