what if naruto saves his sister from devil monster and kurama movie

hey guys welcome what if Naruto saves his sister from devil monster and Karama movie A come on to S one more Bowl please I am sorry son but your mother will be very mad at me if we ruin your appetite too much now come on we have to talk about a few things Naro the yandi Hokage knew that this might turn out badly but he just had to talk to Naro about this oh all right to San turning his head narut shouted back over his shoulder thanks toian the ramen was amazing as always said man chuckled at the young boy's Antics and merely waved him away Naruto and his father walked through the village at a slow pace often waving to those they knew and smiling or nodding towards those they didn't and whom politely greeted them on their Travels by the end of it all Naro was almost wiped out from all the effort he had had to exert not to scowl who would have thought being polite to people would be so annoying and hard narut certainly hadn't and looked up to his father in amazement when he barely showed any signs of fatigue stopping at a small wooden bench that overlooked a tiny Creek in a more secluded portion of konaha Park both males sat down and silence rained from there Naruto for his part simply watched and listened to the water going along its merry way enjoying the atmosphere about him his father on the other hand was extremely nervous due in part to the information that he had to impart upon his son who would most certainly not take to it kindly finally breaking the silence KN he had to get this over with the fourth said Naruto I have to tell you something and you're not going to like it at all turning his head said six-year-old blinked up at his father Ally the question coming a moment later what do you mean to San namazi manado just sighed slumping within his seat as he tried in vain to think of some way to possibly lighten the words he was about to say might as well just say it he thought starting as before he said Nar I can't allow you to be there when your little sister is born it would be too dangerous for you so you have to stay at home and wait for us narut was shocked at this news his eyes widening to that they might actually pop out of his head shock quickly grew into anger at what his father had just told him and he immediately got up out of his seat staring straight at his father in Anger what I am not allowed to see my baby sister when she's born why not you know I've been waiting for this for 9 months 9 months you can't do this manado side again and shook his head I know you have Naruto but it's still too dangerous and I can't risk your safety you have to understand and do what I say Naruto just glared at manado who even though he felt the pure anger rolling off the boy didn't back down from the stair meeting the icy blue orbs with those of his own how can it be dangerous kchan is only having a baby what's so dangerous about that there are just some things that you don't know or could understand right now you have to trust me on this this but no matter what you will stay at home said manado feeling ashamed of what he was saying but knowing he needed to all the same putting Naruto in such a risky situation would not sit well on him and would prove that he was a bad parent if he did so like Naruto kashina had been furious with the suggestion having wanted their only son to be there at her side while she brought his new sister into the world the great yandi Hokage the deciding factor in the third great Shinobi War and one of the strongest Shinobi ever to Grace the planet had cowered in a corner the whole time with his hands flashing before him rapidly to try and plate his redac angry wife who had cornered him like Predator after its prey after a thorough beating and one explanation later kha had had to agree albeit grudgingly and had somewhat accepted the fact that they would be leaving their son behind at home compared to kha Naruto was nowhere near as frightening for manado and he would prove it before Naro began his next rebattle the left hand of namazi manado was raised all signs of regret gone from his handsome and smooth face all replaced with the stern expression of the fourth Hokage Naruto took in his now colder than ice gaze directed solely on him and Gul instantly realizing that the blonde man was serious now and he would do well to shut up at this point before him was not his father but the leader of their Village the fourth Hokage fourth ruler of kah haaker noad Uzumaki namazi Naruto you will not be going to that birth and that is final you will listen to me and there will be no butts about it the situation is too dangerous for you and this is only for your own safety is that understood Nar felt tears coming to his crystal blue eyes his entire body shaking from the feelings welling up deep within him he grumbled out a response and when the response was not heard was told to speak up H hi Hoag Sama I understand and will not go to katan's birth I will stay home and nothing else I am sorry hok sama the hard face began to instantly melt away as manado saw the hurt expression on his son's face he quickly realized his mistake in transfering over to the Hokage glare and he sighed hanging his head low in shame for causing his son's current condition reaching out he flinched when he saw the quick jerk of Naruto's body as if trying to jerk away from something vile and bile Rose into his mouth he needed to try and fix the situation fast listen Naruto I am sorry for what I just did I am the yandi hok of this Village but before that I am your father I should not have used that tone and for that I am sorry you have to understand that as a father I don't want my little man to get hurt in any way if I have any say in it I do in this case and you could seriously get hurt or worse if you went with us I would never forgive myself if that happened Naruto sniffled in response the back of his hand finding his nose before failing miserably and getting the small amount of snot out of his face I it's okay to Sam I understand and will do what you say just please bring everyone home safe smiling down at his son manado stood up and placed a consoling hand on his son's shoulder noting this time he didn't Flinch away I will make sure I bring everyone home safe that's a promise seeing the honesty in his father's face the smile that always spoke truth rather than deceit narut bobbed his head in a gesture of acceptance okay to San I believe you can we go home now of course we can Naruto taking udo's hand in his own the yandi Hokage guided his only son out of the park the hint of sadness still plaguing the boy's face however there was also a hint of acceptance for while both weren't thrilled with the decision both knew it had to be done XXX one week later the family was sitting in their living room the adults looking down at their small blonde son as he worked over the very basics of the art of fuinjutsu due to both being Masters in the craft they had wanted to share their knowledge with son and from what they could see he was a born natural for it the way he painted his cies albeit slowly looked almost like a beautiful dance as they watched the brush dance across the paper the kie perfect with not a single error in their make to say the two parents were proud could be construed as an understatement and they pondered if they had another master of fuinjutsu on their hands if the way he acted towards the art was anything to go by it was at that moment while the three were just enjoying the atmosphere in good company that a small Breeze was felt coming from the open window on the houses south facing side all turning their heads they all saw a silver-haired man whose hair seemed to counter even gravity itself in a dark blue mask that concealed the lower portion of his face he sat there one leg bent and propped up while the other just hung off the other side of the window with an orange book in hand and his visible eye looking remarkably lazy Kakashi no Sharingan sat there giving only a yo in greeting both manado and Naruto smiled at the scene and were about to respond to his greeting with ones of their own but were stopped short when they all heard the loud stomping of one Uzumaki namazi kashina making her way over towards the sitting figure both males of her family couldn't see it but Kakashi being the one under the woman's gaze shivered as he saw fire burning in her eyes and a face that perfectly matched the color of her dark red hair gulping he waved at her youa hello Kash San it's nice to see you again knowing what was coming narut and manado began to shake their heads they silently saluted their Brave comrade who had ventured into the Lion's Den with the worst Food of all that little orange book known to the world as the aa aa series the most perverted of all books filled to the brim with smut brought to you by an old pervert they all knew and lovingly despised poor Kakashi he had only recently started reading the books drowning his sorrows away into the pages kha was having none of that hello kashina sand crap and with Kakashi being stunned and Afraid for his life the man who normally could avoid any strike due to his Sharingan that at the moment was covered up went wide-eyed as said book was yanked out of his grip and tossed across the room to create a small impression into the wall just a foot away from monado's face the blonde man quickly realizing he could have been killed from the force of the throw if it had hit him you think you can come in here with that book and not get reprimanded for it Kakashi you and that old pervert will Ru the day you came into my life with such perverted smut now what do you have to say for yourself mister while this was going on Naruto had turned and had initially been reaching for the orange book that had slid to the floor however his wrist was immediately snatched up and held from proceeding any further by his father who leaned over and whispered urgently never and I mean never let your mother see you with one of those it will be the death of you and possibly me Naruto gulped and slowly retracting his hand stared at the book one last time before turning back to the comical scene of kashina throttling poor Kakashi who had seemed to have gone black under her brutal retaliation after many minutes and kashina finally settling down to say hello and offer a smile to Kakashi they all sat back down Kakashi now nursing a sore neck while watching in horror as kashina burnt the orange book to a crisp right before his very eyes being The Prodigy that he was the teenager knew not to try and save the now charred remnants of his book or else feel the wrath of the Red Hot Blooded habanero once again from there they all made small talk while also observing nuto Fu and Jutsu work that he had returned to after the brief Interruption Kakashi was very impressed with what he was seeing so far and gave his own little pointers now and again since he to knew a thing or two about Fu and Jutsu it was in this happy moment that both hell and heaven decided to meet as one and strike the poor family feeling a tight Rippling pain across her stomach kha immediately hissed at the sudden and surprising pain and instantly knew what it was from turning to her husband she gripped her swollen belly tightly and nodded to him it's time manat oun hearing this said man began to freak out but with a hit to the back of the head courtesy of his wife he quickly composed himself better and giving a whistle two U members appeared before their lord after informing them to fetch serut toi bako wife of third Hokage serut toi herin they left him waiting a few minutes with kashina experiencing a few more contractions they all heard a knock on the door opening it they saw Bako herself standing there and looking back towards his wife manado noded in her Direction silently informing her that it was time to go kha nodded back before turning her gaze onto her small son smiling down at him she bent her knees to try and get as close to eye level with him as she could sense her large stomach refused to allow her to get on her knees Naru Chan I have to go now but it'll see you later with your new baby sister I wish I could take you with me but it is still too dangerous I know you are going to be an awesome big brother and she is going to love you so much just as much as your father and I love you too we'll see you in a few hours Nar gazed up at her a small amount of worry evident in his easily readable eyes getting up he gently encircled her waist with his arms and nuzzled her stomach as if sharing his love with both her and his soon to be new sister I love you both too kachan I can't wait to see my sister so hurry back with tears in her eyes kashina bent over and kissed the top of his head before guiding him over to the open door where manado and Bako stood waiting wrapping his arms around his son in an affectionate gesture manado then ruffled his hair you're the man of the house until we get back I will keep my promise to you so don't be sad after getting an affirmative nod manado Rose and taking K's arm in his guided her out the house Naruto watched them go as he stared out the window seeing kashina stopped to ask a woman narut knew asuchi Makoto something when he heard a faint laugh he sighed and turned around to face the one remaining figure in the room Kakashi seeing the saddened expression on the blond's face side and moving over to him placed a hand on his back come on let's go get something to eat and yes we can have Ramen seeing some of the sadness drained from the boy Kakashi couldn't help but smile knowing that no amount of money he might spend that night was equal in comparison to the happiness of the young blonde boy before him XXX Naruto had just finished off his 10th bowl of ramen astounding all those present beside Tui his daughter yam who was roughly the same age as Naruto and Kakashi who had known KN that his wallet would be significantly lighter after that night slurping up the last of his broth and wiping his face with the back of his hand Naruto gave a satisfied exhalation of breath and grin towards the ramen Chef amazing as always Tui San as always the older man just beaned at the compliment from his favorite customer getting up from his stool Naruto made his way out of the shop and deciding to follow Kakashi was about to leave as well when he heard the clearing of someone's throat and turned around satui holding out his hand waiting for his payment grumbling softly to himself about uzumakis and their damn bottomless stomachs he coughed over the money and exited the shop upon leaving and looking about for narut his visible eye immediately opened as wide as can be at the site before him there talking animatedly with Naruto wearing a tight green latex outfit was none other than the eccentric might guy what scared Kakashi even more was the fact that in the teen's hands was a second latex outfit that was flowing With The Wind in all its terrible atrocious Glory immediately racing over Kakashi grabbed Naruto by the arm and began trying to drag him away not wanting him to get any bright ideas with that horrible outfit Kakashi my rival how are you on this youthful night yelled out the loud might guy as he stopped the pair from wandering off oh a we're doing fine guy I just need to get Naruto home so that we can go over a bit more of fuinjutsu answered Kakashi quickly trying to escape the current situation Naruto just watched the event unfolding before him and was still looking at the green outfit he had been offered in curiosity when he heard guy reply directed towards him fuinjutsu such a youthful art fuinjutsu is you must be filled with youth young Naruto [ __ ] I should come along too to watch your youthful practice Kakashi was behind guy who had raced over to stand beside Naruto and was furiously waving his hands in front of him trying to get Nar to just say no to the Mon's request Nar taking note of kak was about to answer when everyone felt a sudden presence a terrible and vile pressure that pressed down on all immediately alert the junan and chunin looked around wondering where the pressure was originating from but snapped their heads around when they heard the soft and sorrow-filled voice of Naruto kachan both boys knew of kash's upcoming pregnancy as well as her status as a ginu so upon hearing this both older boys knew something must have happened guy being the faster of the two raced off towards the Hokage Tower where many others would be gathering for information Kakashi turned towards narut and quickly walked over to him placing a hand on his shoulder he said Naruto I am sure your parents are fine but right now we need to get you to it was here that all hell broke loose in the village because out of nowhere appeared the very figure that was feared by all in the elemental Nations aiju and most importantly of all the most powerful of them all the caoi no Yuko nine-tailed demon Fox the great Beast its muscles Rippling under the thick orangee fur that covered its body stood for a moment before suddenly sending one of its great paws forward destroying a building to Smither with just strength alone standing at top the wreckage the caubi surveyed the area around it nose flaring before it slided dark red eyes fell upon the small blond-haired Boy near the Ramen Shop terrified under the Gaze he was receiving Naruto shivered uncontrollably and his fright increased tfold when the Beast spoke you boy Kashi moved faster than he had ever done in his entire life wrapping Naruto in his arms he began a furious Sprint away from the area away from the menacing nine-tailed Beast staring fixated in their Direction when the Beast began to channel chakra into its mouth forming a small purple hued ball that seemed to vibrate with power Kakashi knew he wouldn't escape this and muttered [ __ ] knowing his life was at its end and more importantly the life of the small boy in his arms the caubi let loose its condescend ball of chakra its beud dama tailed beast bomb and sent it hurdling towards the peir trying in vain to get away from the attack right as it was about to hit with Kakashi thinking his life forfeit the air seemed to Ripple black markings expanding out from a single point and seemed to literally suck the huge purple bomb until nothing existed but a few wisps of smoke off in the distance everyone heard the huge explosion its bluish white Aura lighting the night sky for a few seconds before slowly fading away Back to Darkness Naruto looked up his face having been buried in Kakashi's Flack jacket and felt his body stiffen and his eyes go wide for there standing before them with his white and red trimmed howy flowing about him stood namazi manato in all his Splendid Glory the man looked first at the enraged caubi before turning his head to glance back at his son one lone tear escaped monado's fire-lit face and what Naruto heard next would deeply haunt him for the rest of his life I am sorry Naruto I couldn't keep my promise and then giving his son one last sorrow-filled look he turned his gaze back onto the rage-filled Beast before him right as he was about to attack the demon a thick Adam manting staff burst into existence and plowed into the side of the caoi sending it away and crashing into the forest Beyond a split second later the third Hokage appeared in a flicker accompanied by four of his personal uo manado smiled sadly to the older man and spoke up I am glad you could join us 'll take care of everything now please protect the village with a yellow flash he was gone leaving behind grim-faced men turning to Kakashi here is and bellowed out Kakashi get young Naruto back to his home and keep him safe that is your mission and you will not fail Kakashi saluted his Superior smartly and shifting his eyes to his young charge felt a lump rise in his throat as he saw the scene Naruto was on both knees his arms limply hanging from his side as he stared at the place where his father had been just moments before the look manato had given had been permanently imprinted into his brain Al along with the words associated with it two streams of tears cascaded down his face as he shook sadness filling his soul to the brim and anyone listening would have felt their hearts wrench as they heard the soft almost inaudible words spoken toan kachan Kakashi moved over and gently lifted Naruto once again into his arms from there he jumped at top the rooftops to the boy's home Kakashi who had always held the same indifferent and detached look after the loss of his two teammates who never seemed to show any form of emotion who always seemed to feel empty inside now cried he wept openly as he moved deeper into the village feeling no shame in doing so a River of Tears flowing down from his exposed eye as he jumped from rooftop to Rooftop ever since his father had died ever since his two friends had died during the war Kakashi had only found solace and love in life from his sensei's family they were all he had left in this world his friends were there of course but for Kakashi manado had always been like a father after his own had passed away if anything happened to them he would almost certainly break apart from grief sprinting across the rooftops Kakashi held the fourth's Legacy a boy that was much a son to the fourth as a brother for Kakashi and he would be damned if he didn't protect him with his life XXX the great caoi was beyond enraged at the moment his body was wrapped tightly beneath layer upon layer of glowing metal chains that didn't seem to budge one bit even with all the force he put into trying to break them before him stood the two simple humans he had grown to despise over the years one was dying lying there with her arms wrapped around the tiny bundle of her daughter the second was flashing through hand seals so fast that even an a cursed ucha would not be able to keep up performing the numerous seals required to perform the reaper death seal why why does she have to be sacrificed for the tailed beast balance for the country for the village and why do you have to sacrifice yourself for my sake what about Naruto how will he feel being left behind cried the woman who then immediately began to pant under all the effort to forsake one's country and one's Village is the same as forsaking One's Own Child you whose birth nation is no more know that all too well how harsh life is for those without a land to call home besides which our family Naruto included our Ninja at this manado paused letting kha think over the words finally even if I were to live i d l out to you you and this surprised kashen even though you won't have much time with her there are things only you can tell Reena things that I can't she would never understand me that is a mother's role so I am not doing this just for you I am doing it for Reena and Naruto I will die for my children it is my duty as their father with that manato world around facing the caoi head on with a swipe of its hand the death God shot its hand through monado's soul and in turn his body the hand shooting forward to grab at the cao's Paw and its very essence beneath yelling out manado finally completely the ceremony fuen and with this exclamation half of the cau's very being began to be dragged away from its body forming a ball of pure chakra before rocketing through the air and straight into the stomach of manado manado stumbled back the force of the hit forcing him back after the initial experience was over and monado's body had snapped back from the chakra roiling inside him a seal formed upon his stomach my body is going numb I can't believe how heavy its chakra is throughout this moment the ca's body began to shrink in size becoming half of what it had truly been and it roared out in protest the chakra chains from kha still held it in place but they appeared to be much looser than before why you yandi Hokage the Beast roared at the man who had turned his back on it and began to slowly and painfully walk over towards his wife sitting on the ground all right now for the eight sign ceiling to seal the rest of nine Tales inside Reena dropping to his knees he pushed his hand to the ground and summoning a small pillow clad pedestal surrounded on all sides by burning candles took his daughter from Ken and laid her down upon the small surface a ritual altar quickly realizing the hokage's intent in using all of its strength and with the chain slacking due to kash's decreasing Health the caoi struck out Rising high in the air with its paw shooting forward intent on killing the babe then and there so as to stop the Ritual from being being completed their forms reacting on Instinct both manado and kha diving in front of the impending attack and taking the extended claw for their child they felt it Pierce through both their bodies barely avoiding hitting Reena as well and instantly began to puke up blood from several of their organs being all but destroyed I said I was their father dying for Naruto and Reena is my right I am their mother it's my right too kha replied instantly panting harshly and trying to draw breath into her lungs I guess this is the end of the line for both of us manado nodded grabbed her shoulder forming a single seal with the other intent on putting both their chakras into the seal he finally responded once everything was complete okay that should do it kha I am starting the eight sign sealing now we won't be able to see her for a while with the way the seal is set up kashen began to softly weep thinking that all she could have said would never be sensing this manado asked do you have chakra to make a clone if you do I can make one too and we can Flash them back to the house where we can settle our affairs with our children of course I always have chakra remember and after that weak attempt at humor formed the necessary hand sign and out of the smoke emerged a perfect copy of herself after manado had done the same both clones disappeared in a bright flash they stood there then trying to give as much advice as they could in that moment to Reena with her mother speaking most of the time putting her hard in into every word she spoke finally she ended her small speech with a soft Reena there will be plenty of hard and painful times ahead take care of yourself make sure to have dreams to have the confidence to make those dreams come true and remember that narut and both of us are always watching over you she then grasped monado's hand tightly pouring her own feeling into the grip while sobbing out so much there's so so much there really there really is so much I want I want to tell you I want to be with you in Naruto longer I love you both so much turning to her husband she said guiltily I am sorry manato I talked too much no it's all right Reena my words to you as your father is ditto to what your loquacious mother said love your brother I know he will always protect you with those last words manato finally said eight sign sealing with those three words both manado and kha closed their eyes feeling the claw andale their stomachs dissolve into simple chakra before the final half of the cao's essence flowed into the seal on Reena and with that was gone from sight their two bodies fell to the ground lifeless and still with both their arms pointed towards Reena as if begging to stay with her hen having been forced to watch from the side du to the barrier set up by Ken leapt onto the scene and stood before the three he stared sadly down at the two prone figures and finally to the crying body of their daughter shaking his head he sighed and bowed deeply toward towards the two with utmost respect and pride calling U to take the bodies while he took the Babe back to her home and her waiting older brother XXX it was many hours later that Naruto finally awoke his body and mind had taken a psychological beating and within Kakashi's arms had blacked out from the inner turmoil now the young boy flicked his eyes open and slowly got up his head lazily looking about and wondering why he was back in his room then as if the Sleep had been holding the memories at Bay even from his dreams the terrible incident that had occurred returned to narut his vision lost focus and once again he was reliving the moments prior to his mother leaving following quickly by the appearance of his father before him informing him that he had broken his promise yet again Naruto broke down chears filling his eyes before rolling down his face and soaking the blanket he held up to it his chest hurt his heart feeling as though it was being constricted from within and trying to relieve the pressure he pressed his hands to his chest his fingers grabbing and tearing at his shirt in his efforts he was short of breath his breath coming out ragged burying his face into his pillow he screamed his heart out his spine arching fists beating at the bed beneath him muffling his Bellows of pain and grief for with the influx of memories came the knowledge that something awful had happened something to make even his father cry after many long minutes of weeping Naruto finally managed to control himself it was then he heard quiet talking in the room Beyond and wondered if his parents were back if his dread and fear were all for not jumping out of bed he raced over towards the door and running as fast as he could down the hallway he slid precariously into the living room the two figures inside were not his parent which saddened Naruto greatly leaning back against a nearby wall with his arms crossed was Kakashi lone eyes showing the great sadness he was feeling concerning the news he had just received the other member of the room smoking his pipe slowly and sitting on the couch was the third Hokage who glanced up as he saw Naruto standing there oh my dear boy how are you the third Hokage asked genuinely curious as to how the boy felt after seeing the caubi up close and personal like that the memory alone was enough to make many people go insane from just the pure Terror that the Beast could instill Naruto ignored the question and gave the previous Hokage an icy yet fearful glare where are two San and kachan sing heisen just rubbed at his eyes small traces of Tears filling in at the corners Naruto there is no easy way to tell you this tonight was a hectic time for all of us and within that time there were many Heroes who lived and many Heroes who gave up their lives your parents were part of the second group for in doing so they knew that they were protecting the village and more importantly you there it was there was the truth he had sought his parents were dead the parents he had loved for 6 and A2 years the parents that had cared for him looked after him the parents that had loved him possibly even more than he them were dead he couldn't take it he couldn't take or accept the thought that his parents would no longer wish him good luck at the Academy in the mornings would no longer help him with his mediocre skills in fuen Jutsu would no longer be here with him who would love him now who would he love now he just couldn't take it the boy broke down then and Kakashi immediately moved to Naruto's side crouching to one knee and guiding the blond's face gently into his Flack jacket the man wasn't very skilled in consoling people and had dealt with personal issues stoically alone rather than get help from others still he tried it's all right narut don't be ashamed to cry it's all right to feel sad right now and I completely understand trust me the loss of one's parents or any loved one is hard but let me ask you this would your mother and father really want you to be crying over them and he waited for a small Shake of the boy's head before continuing no they wouldn't they'd want you to put a smile on your face and grow up big and strong just like your father and as kind as your mother you know that Kakashi held the boy close gently rocking him for several minutes the only sound in the room being the sound of weeping hen looked down sadly at the boy someone he had come to look at as a grandson of sorts this was a terrible loss for the now poor orphan for the pain of losing one parent was great but the pain of losing both at the exact same time was excruciating he would know he had experienced the same in the first Great War when his parents had been sent out on a scouting Mission and had never returned later to be informed of their ultimate demise at the hands of Kumo Shinobi after several long minutes Naro seemed to have calm down enough the sound of his crying diminishing into soft whimpers realizing that the boy needed something in his life something to hold on to Kakashi carefully removed Naruto's head from his jacket until he was staring down into the boy's face his nose was Dripping his cheek were red but most of all those Oso expressive eyes the same eyes as his father showed the pain showed the insurmountable sorrow he was dealing with and would continue to deal with for quite some time to come arudo Kakashi started gaining the boy's attention I need to show you something are you up for it the blonde blinked at that his overloaded mind barely comprehending the words finally after the words had sunk and Naruto nodded seeing this Kakashi Rose slowly taking Naruto's hand in his own from there all three Kakashi Nar and hirin moved down the small hallway and stopped just short of the guest room at the end of it placing a finger to his lips Kakashi bid Naruto to be silent before he quietly opened the door moving in with Naruto and herzen trailing behind the masked man the room was dark bare besides a bed closet and what appeared to be a crib set in the far right corner it was here Kakashi guided the boy placing a hand on his back and pushing him towards the crib when Naro had gotten close enough his height barely giving him enough to see over the edge he Suddenly gasped at what he saw there before him wrapped in a small blanket with her eyes closed but a contented smile adorning her her lips was a small baby quietly sleeping glancing sharply up at Kakashi the man responded to the silent question she's your sister Naruto her name is Uzumaki namazi Reena she looks just like kachan she has the red hair too narut said somewhat in a days and seeming to just be rambling to himself needing to get a better look wanting to get a better look he carfully pulled himself up so that he was leaning over Reena staring down at her with his big blue eyes she he couldn't take it seeing his sister there while their parents had died leaving them orphans made him just break down a new and without meaning to the tears began to fall from his face onto Reena Naruto's breath hitched as he saw this and his brotherly instincts took over for the time being drawing back and hopping back down onto the floor hoping he had not woken up the Babe he wiped his face and turned to the two figures who were simply watching him at this point knowing the boy would have questions Hees and smartly guided them out of the room nois lessly shutting the door except for the barest of clicks turning back to Naruto he waited for the questions to come to which they did only moments after leaving the room the words coming out hushon with an undertone of concern what do I do don't worry Naruto [ __ ] I will send someone over who will watch over her but there are a few more things you have to know before we go Naruto where do you think the caui went ask the Hokage giving the boy a hard and calculating gaze wanting to know his answer and see how he reacted with with the next bit of news he must impart didn't to San kill it that's why it isn't here anymore Naruto questionably asked the two the Hokage more specifically no Naruto your father did not kill the demon there is just no possible way to actually destroy a demon I know you starting to learn about chakras I will just say simply it is a being made up entirely of chakra one cannot kill something that technically is not living no the only way to get rid of a demon is to seal it somewhere where it won't hurt people and where did to San seal it narut curiously asked wanting to know what could possibly hold a demon I am sorry Naruto your father decided the only true place to seal the caubi was within your sister since he didn't feel comfortable stealing someone else's child and you knowing how he is you can understand why he would give up his own child for this but he did leave Express wishes for her to be treated as a hero for the sacrifice I will try my best to make sure his wishes come true Naruto was stunned speechless but the shock of it all quickly passed and in its place remained the totally serious demeanor that marked the protective instincts of an older brother and she is not the demon good Heavens no heisen hastily responded not wanting him to get any ideas she has it stored in a seal inside of her but she is definitely not the demon this is your sister your one and only sister this raises another point I have to make the other villagers might not see her as such and only see the demon so so there may be attempts on her life I will keep a squad of my men here 24/7 around your house so that she is given the protection needed I will not allow her to come to harm neither will I she is my little sister and I will protect her no matter what replied narut firmly and without hesitance the set of his jaws and the Flash of his eyes showing his conviction clapping him on the shoulder with pride Hees and smiled down at the blonde that's the spirit and if you want to protect her even better you should focus on your schoolwork and growing up to be a fine young ninja but remember this and remember this well here asen's voice lowered significantly no matter how strong you are there are always those out there that are stronger still so know that there is never a complete guarantee that even at your best it is enough train with the thought of always needing to improve never let your best truly be your best always train like that for with someone to protect anyone no matter the situation can grow stronger because of it there's nothing you can't accomplish if you do it was after this that all decided to get some rest and both giving the boy a hug Kakashi and hiren quickly Departed the house leaving behind two new orphans young boy and his newly born baby sister XXX it had only been a week since the caubi attack and already life was very different for Naruto the very first day after that terrible night the house was plagued with attacks on an almost hourly rate people demanding for the death of the demon child and only with the help of the family's U guard was Reena and not Hur in all of this while all of this was going on Naruto had had to deal with one attempted murder By The Woman sent to take care of the family Naruto had discovered her with a small knife concealed under a blanket and quickly called on U to stop the situation before it had even started all the property and belongings of the now deceased parents had gone to narut and his sister going through all the rooms Naruto had then discovered two envelopes neatly beside one another on his parents bed upon reading his father's letter he had begun to cry and upon the second from his mother he had broken down in both happiness and sorrow dear Naruto if you are reading this then I did not survive the fight against the caoi as I thought I managed to use the last bit of my chakra to form a clone to write this letter so please pay attention to what I have to say I sit here writing thinking about your beautiful mother clutching our Angelic daughter and your sister and know that I would happily give my life for them it is the job of a father to protect his family and if he has to make the ultimate sacrifice for them he would gladly do so under the circumstances I have done just that and my only regret is leaving you behind without your parents know that I am extremely sorry that I had to leave you in such a way but remember that family and friends are everything do not go through life fearing but be brave and strive to protect those you love and cherish I know life will be hard for you right now but you have to be a strong man and fight through it all I know you can I believe in you now with what I am doing I will be leaving your sister holding a great burden on her shoulders please tell her that I love and loved her with all my breaking heart as I write this letter if there were any other way to rid us of the caubi I would have gladly done so since there is not I have to Simply ask this how could I sacrifice someone else's child when I cannot do so with my own it would be barbaric for me to do so and I cannot stand that so I sealed the caui within her believing that after looking after you for these six long years she would be able to handle it herself and with you to help I am sure she will both you and her mean the world to me and I could not live with myself if something bad were to happen to the both of you that is why I warn you now the night of the caubi attack was no coincidence there was a man within the shadows of it all but do not go telling this to anyone besides the current Hokage he had on a mask with an orange spiral and surprising of all he had the Sharingan within the lone iold on the mask I know it may sound Preposterous and confusing to you but tell the Hokage that I believe the masked man behind summoning the caoi into our village was none other than Uchiha M be wary in the future for he might come to strike again and regain position of the caubi putting Reena in grave danger that is why you must practice hard and become the best ninja you can possibly be I believe in you as I always have and believe you will rise to the occasion and protect your sister there is so much more I wish to tell you Naruto about how proud I am to be your father about how you mean so much to me but I am running out of chakra and can't write it all down grow up big and strong your mother and I will be watching over both you and Reena for so long as you may live and will gladly open our arms out to you when you come to us so that we can once again be a family I love you narut and I will love you always PS attached to this letter is another I wrote for Reena so please give it to her when the time is right also there is a book on the bookshelf labeled the tales of the utterly gutsy ninja it has instructions within that will lead the way to our secret room use it well with a loving and broken heart your father namazi manato yandi Hokage no kanah haaker no batting at his eyes trying to Halt the flow of Tears threatening to overwhelm him Naruto then moved to the letter written by his mother nuch Chan I so wish I did not have to write this letter as your father I managed to scr up enough chakra to make a clone to write this but a clone can still cry and I am doing so every moment I write this letter to you narut I love you so much I wish I could be there with you too as you grow up to become adults I wish I could be there to help you get dressed for your first date or make you a cake to celebrate you becoming a ninja I wish I could be there for you to see you get married and watch over all the grandchildren you would give me I wish for so much and yet cannot have any of this know that if there were a way I would happily give anything to be with you and Reena again I love you both so much my heart hurts just thinking about it with the time I have left here are a few things I have to say to you my dear little nuch Chan don't be a picky eater I know you love ramen but that sort of food won't let you grow up properly and could even stunt your growth with the lack of nutrition so try to eat more healthily make sure you bathe every day and stay warm don't stay up too late so that you can get plenty of sleep I also want to hear about all of your friends you make in your life when we see each other again someday you don't need a lot just a few that you can really trust make sure you study hard and when studying to be a ninja don't focus on one type ofart but try and learn as much as you can from all of them your mom was bad at this but I know you actually like learning so I have hopes for you unlike me no matter what happens in the coming years and with our deaths please don't get depressed okay we know you are sad right now but we never want to see you like that be a big boy put a smile on your face and remember all the good times we shared together you have to be strong for Reena and you don't want her to see you sad to you respect everyone around you and make sure not to be become arrogant because that is something that can lead you down the wrong paths in life regarding the three prohibitions please don't take after your perverted Godfather be extra careful about loaning and borrowing money make sure you save money from every Mission and don't start drinking until you're 21 make sure to drink in moderation when you do because too much drinking is bad for your body most of all though even though I am a girl and don't really know much about this at some point you'll notice girls and that's completely normal just be careful that you don't fall for the first girl that comes your way because she might not always be the one find someone like me who would love you with all her heart and give up everything just to be with you if she is able to do that you know you found the one for you nuch Chan just like I will tell Reena there will be many challenges ahead of you and many will not be pleasant to go through I have to inform you that those with a demon sealed within them are known as gentur also known as power of human sacrifice they hold the demon inside in check and make sure they do not get out I was one of these people and even if I had survived the caoi attack I would have died due to one important fact all jinu die when the demon inside of them is removed it is just a cold hard fact so make sure you watch over Reena as someone who was like Reena now I know the difficulties of growing up with such a heavy burden on my shoulders she will need someone there for her to protect her so please be there for her if she needs a shoulder to cry on be that shoulder if she needs a hug offer that hug I know you will look after her and love her just as much as we would I so very much love you Naran and I can't even describe it into words fight through everything and come out strong just like your mother and father and remember this you are never alone we will always be in your heart no matter what we both love you with all our hearts Naran we will wait for you but make sure you don't come too early PS I am sure your father is giving you the instruction in order to get to our secret room and there is a scroll that contains instructions on how to perform the Uzumaki chakra chains only those with a special type of blood are able to use this technique and I believe you are one of these special people like I was you my son after all I hope it helps you in the future there is a letter beside this one for Reena when the time is right so please give it to her Naru Chan with tears in her eyes and her heart full of love your mother Uzumaki namazi kashina a loving parent that will never be able to express how much her children mean to her at this feeling the emotions rolling from the letter Naruto curled up into a tight ball at the front of his parents bed and cried his eyes out ridding himself of every sad and sorrow-filled emotion associated with the loss of his parents after purging his body slowly of the negative emotions narut read over both letters twice more before laying them down with his eyes hardening the resolve clear behind those strikingly blue eyes Naro stood up his eyes cheeks still red from his weeping but no more tears escaped him he would do as his parents asked him and would become stronger stronger to protect those that he cared about especially Reena remembering what both father and mother had told him Naro made his way over to the Bookshelf and removing the indicated book Flipped it open there folded into a neat bundle sat a folded up piece of paper unfolding it Naruto read through the instructions on how to reach the secret room hidden in the small library of their house and what to do in order to access it stalking to the library Naruto moved over to what seemed like a blank wall the surface smooth and unblemished as instructed he nipped his thumb and trailing a streak of blood across the wall watched in Fascination as the blood seeped into the wall moment later a single black dot emerged and from their visible seal markings began to swirl and grow from it glowing and expanded outwards from that single point ultimately forming a pitch black door-like hole in the wall his father had said in his instructions that only those with the blood of the namazi line would be able to access the room since the seal was sink with the very DNA in his blood without hesitation Naro walked through the inky Blackness feeling almost weightless in the space after a few moments of floating narut felt his feet hit Solid Ground blinking away the fuzziness he turned his head this way and that seeing candles lit and giving off soft blows of light to illuminate the large room on one wall completely covered with a bookshelf that stretched from corner to corner Naruto saw books each shelf was packed to the very Brink with some areas having books squeezed in wherever possible the paper and some indicating the many years they had endured sharply glancing to the next wall Nar saw a large polished wooden desk with various Scrolls and even more books covering its surface this was where both his parents went in order to work on seal ideas that they thought up he guessed later Naruto would find there a scroll that told him the step-by-step procedure to making his own unique alter dimensional room for himself turning to the next wall Naruto gasped aloud at the sight of numerous weapons including his father's Infamous Thunder God cani lining the wall the entire wall was filled with pegs holding this weapon and that weapon and Naruto saw to among these was his mother's personal sword moving over to it he gingerly drew the sword removing it from its sheath he admired the fine craftsmanship that must have gone into producing such a fine blade after placing the weapon back onto its rightful pegs Naruto then turned to the last side of the large room what met his gaze were two glass covered cases each holding a few tightly rolled up Scrolls upon further examination Nar could read that one read Uzumaki while the other read namazi moving first to the Uzumaki case Nar discovered the adamantine ceiling chain scroll as he had been told in addition to the Scrolls of their Clan's fighting technique as well as everything he would need to know in the art of kenjutsu the other thing besides seiling and Longevity the uzumakis were famous for shifting to the next case narut gasped again there in the scroll he was holding was the complete and welld detailed process on how to go about performing his father's Infamous time space Jutsu the flying Thunder godod technique tightly rolling that scroll up knowing he would definitely come back to it Naruto then read over The Scroll containing the process on how to make the fourth's creation the renon after that as before he was given a scroll containing the much faster fighting style of the namazi clan ending his tour of the place he knew he would definitely be coming back here not only for himself but also as a place to keep Reena safe in case of danger since the room was virtually indestructible according to his father turning about on his heels without even a single glance back Naruto left the room to face his new life ready to take on whatever it had to throw at him XXX Naruto now had a new purpose in life every day he would go to the academy and learn what he didn't already know with clear attentiveness before racing home to his sister when not being able to attend to her Reena was now being watched over by a family friend Uchiha Makoto who upon each visit brought along her young son sake who bubbled over in laughter whenever he saw Naruto after spending time with Reena and Performing the cage bunchin no Jutsu he had recently learned from one of the largest Scrolls in the room labeled The Scroll of seals he would watch over his sister with a clone while he moved off to the secret room to study the entire room was chocked full of books containing information on the art fuan Jutsu he had just started prior to the caubi attack as well as countless other subjects spending 3 hours in there busily reading over the dusty manuals and numerous Scrolls and books he would then head outside the house and perform the various Cates of his parents fighting techniques wanting to learn them both in order to pay respect to his fallen heroes and parents after this for the last 2 hours until Nightfall he would practice his Katana and throwing skills and aided by both the kenjutsu scroll as well as the occasional interference courtesy from one of the anus set to watch in over his family Nar began to grow in his skills with weapons he had refrained from using the his father's special Kai for the time being and instead stuck with his mother's sword the sword was a thing of beauty and was how his mother had gained the name of Red Hot Blooded habanero in conjunction with her dark red hair flowing out behind her as she entered the battlefield washing up after his intense day narut would then spend his free time cooking dinner for Reena and himself playing with her for a time after before sending her off to bed when she had grown old she would always pouted at this and always managed to convince him to let her sleep with him in the master bedroom which he had taken over after his parents had passed away how could he say no when she gave him that adorable and heart melting puppy dog look he could never say no to her this schedule continued on for many years and Naruto easily graduated the academy at the age of 11 nearly 12 and then 6 months later passed the tunin exams held in sagur Village hidden in the sand with his team and was the only one among them to be promoted to the rank of chunin for that first run he had desperately wanted to continue working with them but his newest responsibilities as a chunin didn't offer him much time this rankled Naruto even more because he craved more time to spend with his sister who was growing up so fast he knew she could take care of herself for the most part now but he still worried there had been the awful night to which Naruto had taken his first kill 3 years prior Naruto was walking back in from a longer than usual workout outside his mother's Katana now firmly strapped to his back so as to give him maximum movement readying the stove and hoping Reena wouldn't be mad at him for starting dinner so late he almost didn't notice the lack of the usual Nissan that he often heard from his little sister finally noting the absence Naruto turned around and began looking about for her in case she might be starting another one of her hide and pounce games with him placing his sword on a nearby table he moved from room to room peering in before moving on after not finding her finally upon reaching her door at the end end of the hallway narut opened it and was stunned to what he found lying on her bed with her feet being bound together so as to force her to remain still a large figure loomed over the bed his appearance was like that of every other U member Naruto had ever seen except that on the right shoulder that held the usual marking for U this one had a different marking that reading the word nay the figure seemed to notice the entrance of the boy and spinning around launched for canai in Naruto's Direction reacting quickly Naro rolled to the side the door taking the hits and splintering on contact with the sharp Weaponry rising from his position he launched himself at the masked figure wanding desperately to get the person away from Reena all he got was a kick in the face for his efforts and he crashed into the side of the opposite wall with a loud crunch some furniture being destroyed as it had been in his way picking up one of these broken pieces Naro flung it at the person watching it sail right past him without harm giving a malevolent snarl at the figure and forcing the pain down narut once again moved to his feet and jumping forward lifted his right fist up high and aimed for the mask covering the figure's face yet again he was stopped and blown away but in the same process the man took a step back to prepare himself for the impending attack this happened over and over again the figure stepping back a step and Naruto being sent flying away however no matter how painful this was it was not nearly as painful as the thought of losing his sister enraged by this thought and not wanting to fail his parents Naruto raced forward One Last Time his eyes only seeing red in his maddened and slightly crazed State and with his movements quickened by Stone Cold Fury and Desperation he managed to score a devastating shove to the figure's chest this was not what had made Naruto give a grim smile no it was the fact that with that push backwards he had sent the figure's body straight back into the pointed tip of the broken piece of a desk leg that Naro had thrown close to the beginning of the battle the leg impaled in the wall he watched grimly as a thin trickle of blood escaped down the figure's front coating the black clothing red even though the blood was so dark one could barely see it staining the clothing the sharp leg had pierced the figure's heart and had instantly killed the Intruder Naruto slumped over exhaustion finally creeping into his body after the high caused by the adrenaline coursing through his veins had died down weakly he opened one bruised over eye and stared at the now dead masked person realizing what he had done how he had just killed a human being Naro felt like he was going to vomit but quickly rationalized the whole thing out telling himself that if he had not Reena and himself might have died this very night or Worse still feeling uneasy about the whole thing Naruto Rose slowly from his position and limping made his way over to rina's tied up form her eyes were wide and tear stained but once Naruto managed to untie the bindings she leapt into his arms her own wrapped tightly around his body so tightly that she seemed never to want to let him go Nissan I was so scared she cried into his shoulder remembering his mother's words faintly he let her do so knowing perfectly well that if his mother hadn't told him that he would have done so anyways lying there together they took comfort in each other's presence and slowly relaxed with it realizing that she was now calm narut then ran with Reena in hand to the Hokage Tower where he informed herzen of everything that had transpired needless to say the Hokage was Furious and ordered an immediate investigation after being informed that the team watching the house had been found dead their bodies left in some nearby bushes the hokagay then asked if Naruto remembered anything about his attacker whose body had not been found at the scene of the crime upon being informed of the Nay sign he had seen hiroin growled something out under his breath before telling Naruto that he and his sister would stay in his home for the time being until all of this had been sorted out Bowing in thanks for his kindness the two made their way home to pack up a few belongings and clothes once done they left and with the Hokage guiding them made their way to his home where they settled in waiting for two long weeks before they were allowed to return to their home XXX after that night narut had worried for his sister on a daily basis knowing the way the villagers spoke about her and even him on occasion calling him the brother of that demon child many didn't know how to feel on the situation for one both children were that of both Uzumaki kashina and their late yandi h KAG namazi manado but as well one of them held the demon that had attacked and killed so many of their loved ones some decided to look at their family past the demon but many others didn't and cursed the entire family believing it had been corrupted by the demon it was at the tender age of 12 almost 13 the Naruto finally thanked Camy that he had gone over every facet of kah's legal system and of course all thanks were to be given to his clones 6 months later as the only current eligible person to take the mantle of us Maki and namazi within konaha Naruto had found himself one day in the grand Council room doing his duty as the head of both Clans many didn't think much of him thinking he was the brother of the demon or he was just some snot-nosed upstar that didn't know one end of a canai to the other of course these many comments usually came from the civilian side of the council as well as an occasional remark from one of the Aging Elders the Shinobi side had great respect for the boy both as the son of the their former yandi Hokage as well as personally for his own skills he was shaping up to being one of the best chunin they had within the village and there were even talks of a junan promotion after having only become a chunin 6 months prior all he seemed to need was experience and he received plenty with the many missions he had led over that six-month period Naruto of course didn't really care much for his rank personally and simply did what had to be done in order to strengthen himself and protect his sister it had even gotten to the point where Naruto barely saw anyone but Reena except for the occasional visit by the Hokage II Makoto who seemed to want to help her best friend's children as much as she possibly could as well as Kakashi who tried to stay in touch but was always busy with Anu sitting there Nar just listened to the usual chatter about the demon doing this and the demon doing that and only did his anger flare up when he heard mentioned that she should die for just being born into this world at this Naruto's anger became palpable and his chakra flared out to match his mood creating a killing intent that could rival that of a lowle junan pressing down on all of them before finally lessening the effect as soon as he heard the first fake and pleading apology coming from them the amboo set to guarding the room had immediately responded to the spike in Chakra but noting it was only Naruto quietly slunk back to their original positions the Shinobi side merely smiled over at the boy that looked at them all realizing what he was going through none of the clan heads while losing many from their clan in the caubi attack faulted Reena for any of it and did not not see her as the demon mini mistook her to be they all reasonably saw a scared girl who was being accused of something she had had no control over since she had been just a babe at the time narut greatly appreciated this and often voiced his thanks in hushed Whispers given shakes of the head in return telling him it was no matter even the ever Stern hyuga hiashi Clan head of the hyuga clan had grown a soft spot for the girl and his daughter had quickly become attached to her almost seeing her as a sister of sorts when the h KAG had entered and everyone had risen in respect for the older man the council meeting was started yato kissu a large and bulky businessman who had control over many of the stores in konaha raised his voice to start it off hok Sama we are here to today to discuss the enrollment of the girl earlier this week we do not believe she should be allowed to be entered and most importantly should stay home so that she does not corrupt anyone else around her herzen had been about to defend the girl personally but when a large killing intent coming from his right caught his attention he sighed and sat back inwardly smiling at the fact that Naruto's intent was progressing well to the point where he too could feel the effect on him to a lesser degree councilman yato pray tell what do you mean by your comment concerning the corruption done by Uzumaki namazi Reena I must not have heard you correctly since you seem to have been implying that she has corrupted those around her might I ask why you think she is able to corrupt people is there a reason you think such do tell during this whole process Naruto had yet to relinquish his killing intent and some were feeling the effects worst off was the questioned man who was barely breathing under the glare and pressure directed towards him when he finally realized he would receive no answer because of the intent he was giving off Naruto took deep breaths to calm himself and the feeling went away many thanking their lucky stars that it did or else they wouldn't have lasted much longer yag kisu for his part gulped at the questions given to him and knowing he could not actually speak of the cobbi under the Third hok law stuttered out his response we of the civilian Council believe that the girl would be a bad influence on the easily malleable and manipulated children around her at this he received a short burst of intent that silently informed him to tread lightly I mean we just don't believe she would be a good influence on everyone as all we just worry about our children's safety we can't be faulted for that here Isen knew better than to interrupt the current conversation and merely let it unfold I see so you think she is a bad influence then you worry about your children's safety that is perfectly understandable councilman kissu and I can completely relate to your situation through all of this Naruto spoke with a leveled icy tone his eyes shifting to dark Cerulean so that his eyes matched his tone hyuga San might I ask if you believe my younger sister Reena is considered a bad influence on your daughter and Clan Heir hyuga hanata hiashi smiled back at the boy for a moment before turning hardened pale eyes towards kissu no I do not namak kazian I believe that she has been a very good influence on hanata and now they treat each other from what I can see as sisters with that said he slowly closed his eyes once again assuming his quiet and controlled stance he usually took in such meetings kisu who had been mostly embarrassment throughout this entire conversation raised his voice completely forgetting where he was or whom he was speaking with that's because it's using lady hanata like some puppet trying to get close so that she can and he was immediately stopped by you kaharu one of the three elders and advisers for the Hokage what I think councilman kisu is trying to say is that he is just concerned with the safety of your daughter and hopes you were keeping tabs on her to just be sure of the situation we wouldn't anything further disastrous happening to your daughter hyuga San she had intervened at a very crucial point for if kizu had insulted the hyuga clan in such a way then the entire Clan would be out for blood and a possible upheaval could occur hiashi had opened his eyes once more and was staring staring harshly over at kizu his eyes activated into his family's famous Bakugan with bulging veins formed around his pale eyes at the remark given by kaharu his attention snapped to her when she implied the situation concerning his late brother and the attempted kidnapping of his own daughter for their bloodline the Bakugan he stared at her long and hard before nodding his head I have been watching her and will put all my confidence within the young girl I trust her and trust her in the company of my daughters knowing they should move away from such a dangerous Waters or risk further complications hen then spoke are there any more potential reasons to keep young Reena Chan out of the academy one of the other Elders a man by the name of danzo whose right half of his body was completely bandaged over spoke up yes heisen I believe I have something to add Naruto had never liked this man although he didn't have any real reason to do so besides feeling weary around the old man when he heard how he had addressed the Hokage Naruto voice cut through the room while staring straight into danzo's visible eye that is hok Sama to you Elder danzo you will give the Hokage his proper respect and title that he has rightfully earned do not show such blatant disrespect in my presence again danzo San and Naruto said his name in an almost challenging tone of voice clearing his throat to try and fend of any possible confrontation or argument between the two hearers and spoke up yes danzo what would you like to add Hokage Sama and his eye flicked to narut for the briefest of moments before moving back to the Hokage I believe that the girl would best serve under me as an apprentice under me she could learn how to control her powers that will begin to slowly emerge if what he have been told by the one that examined the seal is to go by it is all for the good of the village and I would take full responsibility of the girl every Shinobi instantly picked up on what he was aiming for trying to gain full custody of the girl but it was Naruto that spoke up I am sorry danzo San but I can t allow that as I am a ninja and therefore considered a legal adult I am entitled to watch over my sister as her legal guardian she does not need another as her guardian I am the only one that can legally tell her what to do since she is not a ninja and is not thought of as a threat and Here Naruto gave everyone a hard look as if to DARE them to refute his claim as well I do not trust and he emphasized that word in particular you enough to hand over my sister to you she is a valuable member of my joint family in a such might have potentially dangerous information that I can't in good conscious allow to be let out to the general public such as her current status was when the higher ups you three Elders among those present were strictly told to keep tight lipped about the truth of her condition then a day later the first attack occurred at our home by one drunk man screaming at the top of his lungs that he was going to kill the demon once and for all from then on more and more people began to show up uninvited to our home with information that they should not have known this is why I will not willing hand over my sister to you danzo s do not take it as an insult but merely words from an overprotective and weary older brother the shobi side and even the Hokage to a lesser extent smirked at the way Naruto had tactfully handled the situation he had insulted the man accused him or the other Elders of leaking the information had informed all that they had no control or authority over Reena and had said it all while keeping cool and level-headed in the current situation danzo remained silent after this and seeing this the Hokage went on very well danzo will not teach young Reena Chan she will attend the academy until she reaches the age to attempt the genine exam and if passed will move on to to become a genine of the leaf at this there were many outraged cries comments such as don't let the thing near out children or she should be controlled and not allowed to walk freely were among the many shouted out by the civilian Representatives it was during all this that Naruto was growing angrier by the comment but only the thoughts of keeping his cool kept him from explo at the civilians they would take that as a clear sign that he was unable to manage his role as a legal guardian due to being unable to control his temper and would use that opportunity to strip him of that role to do who knew what to her that girl that you are all referring to is not a thing she is Uzumaki namazi Rin sister of chunan ranked Uzumaki namazi Naruto she is the daughter of the late Uzumaki namazi kashina and her husband our late yandi Hokage namazi manado she is a young human girl who has feelings and should be treated as such I implore you to keep that in mind civilians or else there will be held to pay Naruto had seen the obvious reaction at being insulted by being labeled as simple civilians but all had bitten back angry retorts knowing that Naruto never went back on his word and sufficed to say would carry out his threat if need be is that a threat asked the last of the three Elders one that went by the name of mokado homira he was as old as his two companions but seemed the more lenient of the three it was a simple fact I am sure you all know how protective I can be for my loved ones suffice it say that if anything was to happen to her I would find her if taken and wreak havoc on those that would dare insult my family after that I would take both her as well as the techniques such as the Thunder God and renon and travel far away from this Village I really doubt you want to risk losing two valuable things such as those as well as the last members of the Uzumaki and namazi clans so as I said before it not a threat but a simp fact Elder Mikado the older man seemed to consider this for a moment his eyes staring at the young boy in intrigue for a few moments before nodding his head the young Clan had fascinated him for even though he was vastly intelligent strong willed and Powerful in his right he was still quite very young Hira had always had a liking for his mother kha for she too had possessed those same qualities when she had come to the Village as a refugee of sorts and this respect had now passed down onto her son very well I think we all see what you are saying Uzumaki San thank you for elaborating here is in quickly put in his two cents before the meeting would be adjourned I don't think that will be necessary Naruto Reena Chan will be treated with respect that she is due as as any other child her age we all greatly respect your Clans and nothing bad will come to them I can assure you of that now then I think we are finished here for the time being Naruto I will like to see you in my office to talk about the upcoming junin exam thank you everyone and be safe narut had just returned from a long Mission his body aching from the many cuts and bruises decorating his body it had been one hell of a mission but Naro had enjoyed it all the same the original A- rank Mission had been to Simply investigate and intercept a group of mercenaries set to kidnapping a nobleman's daughter and using her as Ransom that had changed upon contact with the Enemy all information gathered had indicated there would only be around 50 of the miscreants but when narut and his team had ambushed the group they quickly came to realize that among those present were at least half a dozen a rank 8 B Rank and five C rank missing nin who put up one hell of a fight they had been hired to Aid in the Ambush suffice it to say they had not taken kindly to having the tables turned on them and had reacted violently leading to an immediately clash between the two groups in the end Naruto and his team of a thankfully all being higher ranked junan and chunin had managed to squeeze out a victory but not without having one of his men injured in the fight while someone like Naruto often didn't need assistance in a fight the number games always balanced the playing field out in the end and it was thanks to the assistance of his team that the enemy had been beaten however the injured teammate rankled Naruto deeply for while he knew that he should be thankful none of his team had died Naruto's perfect streak of coming back without an injured teammate was broken after six years of leading his own junan and chunin squads sighing at the thought and ordering his men away and the one injured taken to the hospital narut made his way to the Hokage tower for debriefing moving through the brightly lid and curving hallway narut stopped in front of a mirror his eyes drifting up and down his form to take in his appearance he almost looked like an exact replica of his father manado from the chiseled yet slightly rounded face with golden locks hanging from either side of his face he was tall standing at a near 61 with a lean Fighters frame that seemed to be built for Speed rather than strength he now wore a standard green Flak Jacket zipped halfway up with a solid black muscle shirt underneath whose sleeves covered 34s of his arms before leading to his hands that were covered with the standard junan plated gloves below this narut wore a pair of solid black junan pants with various pockets for storage his left thigh was wrapped with a few layers of bandages while on his right was a pouch that held his explosive tags and canai which were exact copies to his father near his back pockets were two additional pouches one holding regular canai while the other shuriken just above the sandals on both legs was an additional thin layer of bandage tape wrapped about his legs as well Naruto had a red and black trimmed howy at home just as his father had had but rarely wore it unless the mood hit him or the situation was deemed fit to wear it he hated having the thing repaired every time it got caught or torn in battle in his younger days Naro had always sported a brightly colored orange shirt but over the years he had come to realize that the color was a dead giveaway when stealth was required on missions naturally he had done away with it but his love of the color had not waned and every morning he would wrap an orange cief around his upper arm in representation of those long gone innocent years he had had before finally accepting the true life of a Shinobi approaching the hokage's door he eyed the two guards on either side both of whom stepped aside quickly without a word of protest or request for identification lest they face the wrath of konah his own yellow wraith srank ninja in allk known Bingo books at the tender age of 15 after countless hours of research and studying Naruto had finally done something no one in written history had ever done before having wanted to refrain from using his father's ingenious creation hiran and Desiring to be known for his own achievements rather than someone else's Naruto had concocted a seal array that was solely His and his alone the seal had been vastly complicated to create drawing on layer upon layer of various seals to support itself and the ability it offered someone the entire Prem of the experiment based on one thing and one thing only speed it had taken months to create with many failed experiments in between start and finish but it had been all worth it to Naro when the final product was constructed implanting his new seal formula into his own sandals Nar was now able to magnify his speed to an almost unheard level matching a speed just below that of the flying Thunder God itself while it indeed was not as fast as his father's creation it in turn gave Naruto more perks when it came to fighting instead of being forced to move in a basic straight line in between points as the flying Thunder God made the user do Naruto's seal gave him the ability to direct and redirect his movements as though he were simply running extremely fast something he was basically doing this made for a much more convenient way of fighting than having to worry about planting his seals down this way and that so fast was the speed he moved at that the only thing the enemy saw was a bright yellow after image of narut when he applied his seal giving him the moniker of yellow wraith and ultimately giving his technique the name flash step although it used up a considerable more amount of chakra than the flying Thunder God for the seals would constantly have to be infused with chakra for them to work he had chakra a plenty and Naruto's reputation had soared to a title only gained by the yellow Flash himself a flea on site status stepping into the office Naruto took in the site before him sitting in his chair behind his paper loaded desk as was custom the third Hokage sat before he had walked in the woman her Ruby eyes flashing with a smile set on her equally matching lips had been talking animatedly with their leader upon his entry she had stopped and had turned to face the newest of the room's occupants seeing who had entered the woman her wild black hair covering her entire face as she moved bowed her head low towards him in greeting namazi San narut scalled at this personally having never enjoyed formalities and with his rank of S-Class who were few and far between in the land lands of the elemental Nations had been given much more respect than before he was on an equal level with the famous densetsu noani one of those sonin jariah the great toad Sage was even his Godfather and had personally trained with Naruto when he visited the village and didn't have to tend to his large spy network from this to being the son of the yellow Flash and red hot-blooded habanero made him quite well known he was as well thought of as a son by one of the other sonin sju one of the greatest medical ninja to ever grace the land surrogate grandson to the third Hokage and little brother to Kakashi no Sharingan with all of this Naruto seemed to have many connections and was famous throughout the land so of course yui karanai the woman in the hokages office had given respect to him although it was mostly due to the fact the Hokage was right there both were close friends and had known each other for a long time waving his hand in a gesture to signify for her to cease such actions and a small smile replaced ing the previous scowl Naro responded please don't do that K and I you know how much I hate formalities K and I darted her gaze towards the Hokage which got Naruto's eyes rolling like he cares what anyone calls me isn't that right you old coot here Isen growled at the boy's impudence chuckling Kuran I smirked at the blonde very well Naruto she turned to look back at the Hokage please excuse me hokages Sama I should get going I have plans this evening that must be taken care of oh of course karanai Chan you are excused and I hope you find your new junan rank to your satisfaction come to Naruto myself or any of your other junan for advice if you need it I am sure any one of us would be willing to offer our support thank you I shall keep that in mind goodbye for now hok Sama you as well narut and with that she stroe out of the room leaving behind both men standing there in the Now Quiet office I assume you have come to report your mission you seem a bit ruffled up so am I to guess that the mission did not go as planned herzen said into the silence peering at narut with Intrigue hi Gigi we had just finished gathering information on our Target and after planning our move had set up an ambush we had been only expecting mercenaries within the group wishing to kidnap young matoshi San but what we hadn't expected were six low a rank missing nin from Kumo with an assortment of B and C rank as the mix let's just say they were as glad to see us as we were to see them Naruto chuckled after the battle and leaving none alive we stored the bodies of the missing nin for konaha to collect their bounties and headed back here with the money for the successful Mission only one of my men sustained major injuries and is now being taken care of at the hospital further details will be in my report Naruto said noding his head towards the Hokage you say there is someone from your team in the hospital well looks like your streak is gone now it is a shame but at least no one was killed her is and teased causing narut to bristle yes well what's happened has happened and nothing we do can change the past no matter how much you would like to sensing the mood shift herzen cleared his throat to draw Naruto's attention back to the present for the time being yes well congratulate your team for me you all did a superb job from what I can see and will receive compensation for the addition of so many high ranked ninja thank you for informing me Naruto and if you would stop by in two days I wish to discuss something with you that might change your life for the better curious at that final statement Naruto bid the Hokage good day before simply disappearing out the open window heading in the direction of his home upon arriving he set his sword down on the nearest table and Stripped Away his flak jacket with a heavy sigh he catapulted onto the couch and there lay face down weariness starting to overcome his body yet sleep was never to be for Naruto for as his eyes closed and his conscious began to slowly drift away the front door of the house opened and with a loud bang closed a split second later opening his eyes so that they formed slits Nar saw a red-haired girl pass through his vision seeming not to be able to sense him due in part to his body unconsciously keeping his chalkra levels as low as possible out of reflex groaning softly to himself he dragged his body into a sitting position before raising his voice and here I don't get a hug or a welcome home I am heartbroken Reena Chan narut grinned as he heard a loud squeal coming from the kitchen and 5 seconds later was properly glomped as Reena raced over and tackled her brother too tired to do much but hug her in return narut smiled down at her bright and happy face welcome home Nissan I missed you exclaimed Reena burrowing her face into his chest as if wanting to stay there for eternity he was her only family and the bond between them could only ever be broken by death itself giving her one last squeeze before grunting and pulling away from her she only then noticed how tired he looked oh I am sorry Nissan you look awful thanks for pointing that out I probably feel worse than and I look and Here Naruto grinned his eyes glinting with Amusement anyways how's the class dead last doing eh still failing those tests this was an inside joke between the two and had been going on for nice 6 years now 6 years prior six-year-old Reena was cold she could feel cold water rushing about her ankles as she stood there in the dark musky sewer likee room before her was an immense gate stretching for as high as the eye could see set in between the side edges of the two caged doors laid a simple piece of paper with the conji for seal written upon it walking slowly over feeling some sort of malicious Force exuding from the cage Reena stopped stock still as the greatest figure she had ever seen came into existence right before her very eyes the figure in the shape of an orange fur fox had red slitted eyes that were filled with complete and utter hatred behind it swirling and shifting about were nine tals each seeming to have a life of its own within a moment of stopping Reena saw the great Beast rise up on its Haun es nine tails splayed out behind it with equal spacing in between each one before it launched itself at her and the cage doors releasing an earsplitting Roar That Shook The Very Room around her causing cracks to form in the sewer walls its malice filled eyes staring fixated upon Reena as it charged Reena couldn't move she couldn't breath and what made matters worse was that the Caged doors seemed to just disappear leaving only open space between her and the running Fox she was stared witless at the spectacle and feared that she would never again see her amazing older brother again an image of her brother flashed through her mind and stayed there just as the great Ma opened wide biting down with a snap then all she saw was black narut had awoken as soon as he had heard the screams of alarm reaching under the pillow for his canai he darted swiftly out of the room his heart was beating so fast thinking that there was yet another attack on his poor sister but when he came to her room and saw her thrashing about his worry diminished ever so slightly moving over to her and placing his hands on her he tried to shake her away and rid her of her nightmares to no avail shaking her more urgently his worry increasing he finally saw her Lids snap open and Naruto had to step involuntarily back at what he saw dark blue eyes had come together to meet Violet and Naruto had seen the pure and utter fear ridden in those orbs staring back at him n n San he heard Reena ask and instantly he was at her side again hands reaching out to clasp her own in his yeah it's me Reena don't worry I am here I was so scared it was so dark I thought I had lost you forever and with that statement she broke down narut quickly moved in to let his arms and snare her propping her head up against his chest as he lay there letting her cry her fears out when at least she had become still not a single SOB being uttered by the small girl then did narut ask what was your nightmare about Reena Chan Reena seemed to hesitate at this her voice failing as she once again seemed to relive that horrifying image of being eaten by the large Fox it was so scary IAM I was in this dark and wet place I didn't know where I was and there was this big cage in front of me when I L looked in all I could see was a big Angry Fox staring at me it ran towards me and I was s so scared I couldn't move then it ate me and everything went black narut tried to suppress the growing knot in his stomach his mind racing at the very idea of Reena seeing Reena what color fur did the Fox have I think it had orange fur Nissan and it had nine tails behind it Naruto's body instantly tightened his breathing becoming labored as he tried to fight down the growing anxiety and worry that was beginning to invade his body Reena seemed to pick up on his change in temperament and gazing up at him asked what's wrong breathing deeply so as to try and calm his rapidly Beating Heart and push down the nausea that was rolling through his stomach Nar wondered what he should do should he tell her the truth was she too young to be told told the truth and truly understand what would happen if he did all these questions came at Naruto in one great gigantic wall of thoughts and he felt himself drowning under the pressure of making the right decision only the light touch of rina's hand on his arm dragged him out of that waiting tsunami of worry and doubt it was always Reena Naruto thought before he sighed and propped himself further against the backboard of the bed Reena Chan please listen to me and do not interrupt what I am about to tell you is extremely important and cannot be spoken aloud unless you truly anut trust someone you may speak about this if you want to but if someone else were to there would be severe consequences for that person do you understand me this is an s-rank secret and it's top secret I understand Nissan all right just remember what I said and don't interrupt no matter what pausing to run a hand through his hair he finally began when you were born something very terrible and sad happened something that would lead to a great many people becoming angry and still remaining angry even up to this day six years ago the great caoi attacked our village and almost completely destroyed it if it wasn't for the work of the yandi Hokage Our Father we would not be here right now nor would we be alive Our Father fought the caui and after a long and tiring battle managed to succeed in traing it with the help of our mother kashina I am sure you've been told that our father killed the caoi let me tell you Reena here his voice dropped significantly there is no possible way to kill a demon and so what people do is seal the demon into into something that can hold the great power and might of that Beast there are a couple pots and jars that have the power to hold the creatures but the strongest one of all the most sought-after and used sealing object in all the lands is a human a human sacrifice and so wanting to protect his village and family our father sealed the Cobi into a babe born just that day Naruto paused and looked deeply into rina's eyes wanting to impart this very important knowledge upon her without any misunderstanding now and I want you to listen carefully to me enena Our Father couldn't bring himself to use someone else's child and believe that it would be despicable to do so so is a sacrifice he used his own to store the demon on the night of our parents death and the defeat of the caob U Reena became the vessel that holds the demon there is a seal on you that keeps the beast in check this is why you probably hear things like demon bradder have been told to just go die people are mad at the caui for killing their loved ones and want revenge at hearing this Reena began to shake violently a painful SOB wretching from her throat as she cried uncontrollably Naruto stopped his lecture there content with just letting Reena go over the information in her head and come to her own conclusions it was the next three words that stunned Naruto to the core and made him want to vomit I am a monster the words coming out so matter of factly so convinced that it was the truth that Naruto furiously shook his head and grabbed at Reena forced her to look up at him and into his eyes no you are not a monster Reena you are definitely nothing like that the Beast was stored in the seal on you it's like a holder for a canai the holder holds the canai but is not the canai itself you are what keeps the caoi locked in its prison you could never be a monster Reena Chan I could actually describe how this description of a gentur is actually incorrect but she is a child and might not understand B but Tuan and kachan are dead because of me I was the reason you got left behind Nissan if it wasn't for me you would be happy you wouldn't be alone Naruto's eyes snapped down at that his entire body going numb from the shock of her words for many Precious Moments he just sat there staring down at his sister who was crying softly into his chest reaching up with a free hand narut began to lightly stroke the back of his sister's hair his fingertips gliding across the Glorious strands of red hair and occasionally parting them like rocks with the ocean waves oena chan never say something like that again our parents gave their lives up to protect this Village true but they also gave them up so that we both may live and grow up it's the duty of a parent to protect their children and they did that that night they loved us both so much I know they did also I am never alone Reena Chan I have you here with me and I love you so much and for the next part Naruto laid his hand gently at top the place where rina's heart beat softly her body and mind calmly under his soft words plus we're both never truly alone we always have our parents in here in our hearts they always watching over us and would hate it so much if they saw you crying right now they always wanted me to be happy and they'd want the same for you now please stop worrying you are not the caui and you never will be the village just doesn't understand that never believe what they say about you and remember what I said tonight Let My Words guide you if I ever lost you I I wouldn't know what to do and he slightly broke tears falling from the corner of his eyes as he shed his fears for a possible future Reena gave him a soft smile and buried her head further into his chest squeezing her arms a bit more tightly around him to show him the same Comfort he had shared with her it's okay Nissan I am not going anywhere she said lifting her head up to plant a soft kiss on his cheek Naruto chuckled dry all right I am better now you can stop giving me the death grip he teased lightly how about a change of topic how were the last few days at the Academy you learn a lot Reena bobbed her head at the question and smiled warmly wiping away her tears yeah I did I don't like learning boring stuff but hanata Chan is there so it makes it fun she exclaimed jovially oh that's right you're spending a lot of time with her I totally forgot how is she is she fun heck yeah she is she's so much fun and we have a lot in common and her eyes are to Die For in wther slow down I get the picture seems you really are having fun although now we have to talk about something that isn't so fun Naruto said said his happy mood slowly diminishing at the thought what is it Nissan Reena asked curiously raising her head off his chest to glance up at him well you know how we just talked about you having the caui and people not understanding you reeno once again nodded her head remembering what he had said yes well we both know you smart very very smart in fact but there are factors that you have to understand narut informed hesitantly what factor Reena asked rather confused at the moment since her brother wasn't making much sense at all right now well a lot of people see you as the caui and so are very scared remember all the attacks that still occasionally happen that's what I am talking about Reena Chan I don't want you to get hurt since you're outside of the house a lot more now without supervision around you something bad could happen Reena shook her head and gently rubbed his forearm in order to Plate nunk growing ey and anger it's all right I won't get hurt I promise and I never break my promises Naruto visibly flinched at talks of breaking promises remembering back to the time when his own father had made him a promise and had broken it Naruto didn't hate the man for that everything was out of his control at the time and Naro would have fared no better than he if the roles had been reversed he had forgiven his father long ago and prayed that his father was at peace because of it I know you don't Reena Chan all right well in order to become a Shinobi you have to to pass a certain test called the genine exam it'll let you in a little secret that you can't tell anyone okay at this Reena showed her response with a quick jerk of the head while most think that when they finish showing off the three academic jutsus and passing all the previous portions along with that one means that they have become genine they are completely wrong after that half of the exam the ones that pass are broken up into teams and given junan instructors who test them themselves if they like what they see then they pass them in the group officially become jenin like they thought they had if not they get sent back to the academy for another 6 months the problem is even if you get through the first portion of the exam fine the second is very opinionated I think that part of the council will try and sabotage you and force you to go back to the academy so I can see only one way to actually get you on a team that will pass how am I going to do that Nissan well I am sure you heard about almost the entire Uchiha Clan being wiped out I went to check with some others and only found uias Makoto and sake Left Alive I was thankful believe me but still what happened was very bad sasak is the only one now entirely able to pass along his uch jeans in all of konaha and almost the entire world so he's going to be given special treatment I fear the council will surely Force anyone testing SAS to let him pass and they will be forced to comply that is how you are going to pass too we're going to make sure you are on his team when you take the last portion narut knew this was a terrible plan he knew this was a very very bad plan but there wasn't much he could do to control the bias and contempt the rest of the village held for Reena while he might have been able to if he were here most of the time he wasn't so this was the only feasible way he could think of to get around it Reena tilted her head in confusion how are we going to do that Nissan simple really there is a standard protocol that when making the teams there as balanced as possible because of that the Rookie of the Year which undoubtedly will be SAS from what I have seen and heard and the so-called dead last will be put on the same team with another person understanding finally began to Dawn on Reena but there was still a tinge of confusion in her violet hued eyes but how am I going to be the dead last if that's what you want me to be I am not dumb narut sighed and rubbed a hand over his face that's the bad part of the plan in order for this to work you have to act dumber than you actually are and can't do as well as the others in all facets of the Shinobi Arts I don't mean outright fail but fail enough so you're at the bottom of the class this will be very difficult and I don't want you to do this at all but and Naruto looked down remorsefully it's the only way for me to become a ninja Reena finished for him yeah the only way I can think of all right then Reena seemed to cheer up itk just have to be the best dead last the academy has ever seen Ryan yelled out her playful mood coming out and ready for the challenge you sure you want to do this you'll be looked down on and mocked a lot well that's not something new is it Ryan countered causing narut to sigh once again I am sorry that it has to be this way Reena i d have give anything for you not to do this narut said sadly eyes downcast in sorrow it's okay Nissan I know you and you're only looking out for me he'll do it and then become a ninja and then show everyone what Uzumaki namazi Reena can really do it'll become the best ninja ever Nar chuckled at this and ruffled the top of her head the fiery red hair billowing out around his hand that's the spirit come on enough of this serious talk let's go get you some ice cream Reena cheered at this and jumping out of bed scurried out the door and out of sight ice cream being one of her few vices Naruto for his part just shook his head in amusement and climbing out of the bed as well made his way out the door and into the kitchen glad that Reena may have a shot at becoming a ninja after all back to the present class is going just fine Nissan it's really hard not to do everything right I have to use my left hand when throwing stuff and purposely have to fill in the wrong answer on the written tests it's so hard she said flopping down on the other side of the couch narut snorted at this and slowly got up some of his joints cracking from the effort but he just ignored their protests and made his way over to the kitchen to prepare lunch well glad that the plan is actually working the genine exam is in a few days right hi it is and that's going to be just the worst it would be so much easier just to do everything right yeah I know but then you'd have to do everything you've done in the last 6 months all over again and that would be even more of a drag wouldn't it Naruto pointed it dipping a spoon into a leftover bowl of soup before frowning at the coldness of it and put in the microwave to heat up I guess you right as always Nissan so when do you get back from your mission did you come straight home no no I came in about an hour ago and had to debrief Gigi I have to go back in 2 days to talk about something though Naruto replied grabbing up a napkin and setting it down on the table as he waited for his soup do you know what he wants to talk about asked Reena as she came to sit at the table not a clue but it'll let you know unless it's really important all right you better now let me tell you what happened at school today it was soe funny and with that Reena and narut began to talk as narut ate his soup both comfortable in the others presence and quite willing to share some of their latest stories together XXX 2 Days Later found Naruto casually walking into the hokage's office the heels of his sandals clipping the carpeted flooring to make his presence known before stopping just short of the desk heisen looked up from his reading and smiled warmly up at The Tall Man Standing before him a Naruto [ __ ] I see you're as punctual as ever I am so glad you didn't take after Kakashi in that regard I am glad as well I couldn't handle being shot death glares from everyone at being late and making them wait 2 hours for me to show up narut replied jokingly yes well be that as it may we have something to discuss please sit the Hokage bade him gesturing with a hand to one of the two chairs in front of his desk when narut instantly complied the Hokage then went on I have a proposition for you that may interest you greatly if I can manage a Naruto something that will benefit a great many people at this narut raised a single brow in curiosity but did not say anything in reply as you know you have great weight and support among many of the land's greatest ninja as well as are known to be an equal to many of those same people you are the prince of Whirlpool country and Clan head of both the Uzumaki and namazi clans as well as being one of only two survivors known of said Clans you hold many powerful techniques at your disposal which would be catastrophic to the Village if handed over to an enemy as you can see you probably have almost as much weight as I do and this will give us an advantage in the next coming days here here isn't paused letting Naruto have some time to think over what he had said finally leaning over his desk he continued with a simple question what if I was to suggest that you be given a position of jun and Sensei to a group of jenin Naruto frowned you know my skills are much more needed out in battle than watching kids GG yes yes I know and agree with you except on one point while your skills are very impressive as they ought for an s-rank ninja they would best be served watching the jenin I have in mind Nar cocked his head the confusion evident in his sky blue eyes and why is that that is because I want you to be a Jud Sensei dinina as well as Uchiha sake Naruto attention was immediately caught at that Eyes Wide in shock at the suggestion not only Reena but sake as well yes I know of your plan to fool everyone into thinking Reena is the dead last so that she will be paired up with SAS I fully agree with your thoughts on the matter and so I have decided to use my power as Hokage to put them together after the exams and would do so even if she weren't considered the dead last of her class he offered the blonde and amused chuckle I think this situation is a win-win for all parties Reena becomes a jenin you get to watch over her and the council is appeased with the knowledge that an s-rank ninja will be watching over one of the last of the ucha as well as the holder for the caubi I think it a perfect situation narut had to agree to this and gave the Hokage A sly grin you've been thinking this up for a while now haven't you either way I like it but how do you know Reena will pass the exam the Hokage gave Naruto an interested and slightly amused glance before explaining that is simple I will be there personally proctoring the final portion of the test alone that way since I presume she will be going for 50% on the previous two portions doing all three academic jutsus perfectly will just give her enough to pass the test she won't have to worry about keeping up her dead last status in front of me Nar slowly Rose from his seat Standing Tall before bowing to the old man thank you Gigi you will not regret doing this here Asen snorted and waved his hand in front of the man as a show of blowing the comment off I know I want and it's the least I can do for what has happened now then be off with you come back in a week to the main conference room to discuss the matter further oh and when you can I would like you to drop off your father's forbidden scroll I need to look over one of the jutsus in it bowing yet again saying that he would bring the scroll and offering another one of his famous grins Naruto bid the Hokage farewell while slipping out of the room via the doors this time and made his way back home oena was going to kill him when she found found out he had kept this from her the academy a few days later good luck Dobby you're really going need it although we all know you're going to fail yet again said a certain raven-haired Uchiha sake yeah there's no way you can possibly pass with how badly you've done so far said a pink-haired girl that went by the name of Haruno Sakura it is interesting to point out that you would need a high grade in the third part of the test as well to pass soccer asan you did not do that well outside replied a coat wearing boy with dark black sunglasses covering his eyes known to many as auam Shino shut up Shino go be creepy and weird somewhere else Sakura mocked weakly fully aware that her skills weren't up to par in both throwing and hand-to-hand combat oh shut up forehead if you scream too loudly SAS [ __ ] will leave us replied another girl her blonde ponytail reaching her back this girl was Yama nakao the most popular girl at the Academy and was rightfully hottie as her title suggested you shut your mouth and go snort somewhere youo Pig Sakura yelled back quite annoyed with once again being made fun of because of her forehead this was the scene that Reena thankfully walked out of as she made her way to the room that would hold part three of her final exam she was very nervous she would have to do the jutsus perfectly but in a way that would still make her look like an idiot what to do what to do she thought in her head as she opened the exam room door and stepped inside ah hello Reena Chan it's so good to see you again came elderly sounding voice that Reena Knew by heart snapping her head to the side she saw before her in a cesa position with a smile on his wrinkled face none other than the third Hokage Gigi what are you doing here and where are the Proctors she asked happily her violet eyes flashing with excitement and happiness at seeing her grandfather figure once again heisen chuckled at this before bidding her to stand before him something she did readily I am the Proctor for the third part of this test let's just say I had a small conversation with Naruto a few days ago I here to make sure that you don't act like a fool like I know you have been and passed this exam without any funny business going on now then shall we get to the test we don't have a lot of time Reena bobbed her head before waiting to be instructed on what to do all right first perform the henge no Jutsu for me if you would Reena nodded and flashed through the signs of dog boar RAM and Gathering up her chakra easily transformed a cloud of white smoke forming around her that settled moments later eventually revealing her as a perfect replica of her older brother when she released the Jutsu she heard a small Applause coming from the Hokage oh that is very good Reena Chan a perfect Naruto if I do say so myself now then please perform the CI me no Jutsu for me just as before but noticeably without the hand signs Reena switched positions with the chair beside her and smiled up at the Hokage very well done that's too down now for the last Jutsu perform the bunch and no j if you will Reena hesitated for a moment at this raising her hand excuse me Gigi but Nissan explained to me that I just have too much chakra to be able to do the technique he instead showed me the cage bunin no Jutsu the Hokage raised an eyebrow in surprise at that before smiling towards her you know the cage bunch and no Jutsu well then by all means use that instead nodding happily she crossed her fingers to form a tea and channeling chakra a cloud of smoke formed around her when it had cleared as before there standing before the Hokage were five perfect clones surrounding Reena that is most impressive most impressive indeed you pass the third part of the test with flying colors congratulations Reena Chan the redhead beamed in happiness at the compliment dispelling her clones she then leapt towards the hok offering him a hug which he readily accepted thanks for doing this Gigi it is no problem my dear girl now please send in the next person please I believe it is ziha SAS Reena scowled at the name before bowing to the old man and exiting the room after informing SAS to go in and getting a malevolent sneer from the boy Reena made her way over to the waiting area there she sat talking with hanata before and after she had performed her own third test waiting for the scores to be posted when they had both girls walked over and looked for their names fourth from the top they both saw Hinata's name but it took even less time to find rina's name which was posted at the very bottom of the list just as she and Naruto had planned it out smiling in Triumph while ignoring the Snickers and mocking words of the others around her she placed her hands behind her head and made her way out of the academy saying goodbye to hanata as she did so Reena moved through the front lawn of the academy her mind wandering to unimportant subjects as she made her way out she hoped all of this was enough to get her on sas's team she didn't hate the boy personally but she did hate his attitude she remembered a time when he had been much nicer almost Carefree in his manner but after the brutal Massacre of nearly his entire family that innocent and relaxed little boy died in his place was born an Avenger whose sole goal in life was to get revenge and restore his clan if what she could read from his mood and words were any indication sighing she realized that not she even officially on his team yet and he was annoying her grumbling to herself she shook off any thoughts of SAS and went back to more important things like what type of ramen she was going to get at each shiraku completely at ease and humming softly to herself it was at that moment that fate seemed to decide to spice things up a bit Reena hearing someone calling her name from behind her turned about and eyed the man approaching her he was a tall but relatively lean man silver hair dropping down to his shoulders and a face that appeared to show something she just could not identify this man was Mizuki a sistant to Ruka who had been her Sensei for the last few years of the academy he had always given her that look as everyone else did looking down at her and openly criticizing everything that she did she disliked the man entirely hello Mizuki Sensei what are you doing here do you need something she asked as politely as possible oh yes I wanted to say congratulations for passing your Jen and test I know it's been a tough few years but as one of your teachers I am glad to know you succeeded which reminds that I need to tell you something that your brother told me if you passed Reena raised an eyebrow thinking over if her brother had even talked with the man once before but inwardly shrugging she asked and what is it he wanted you to say mazuki grinned down at her not a happier or Carefree grin but a grin that showed malice and contempt he said that when you pass your test he wanted to give you another one hell be watching but want interfere with this test he wants you to sneak into the Hokage Tower using as much skill as possible and get out with the Forbidden scroll he placed in the hokage's office after you have to make your way North and Hell meet you 3 miles outside of konaha in a clearing to form you if you passed smiling to herself thinking that maybe this was what narut and the Hokage had been discussing in their meeting a few days ago Reena nodded her head all right 'll do it tonight right receiving a nod from Mizuki she turned around and began to walk away this test will be easy peasy by Mizuki Sensei and leaving behind a smirking Mizuki disappeared around a bend in the road and was gone XXX Reena was panting heavily her limbs were on fire and she could barely walk let alone run she had run nearly the entire time from start to finish for this test which had started nearly 3 hours ago and the exertion was finally getting to her setting the scroll down up against a tree she tried to catch her breath as best as possible she was near where she had been told to go and wanted to look somewhat presentable to her brother and not look like she was half dead after a few more minutes of deep and steady breathing Reena grabbed the scroll and grunting as she took up the dead weight once more sprinted lightly the last two minutes and entered the large clearing that she guessed marked the finish line for her standing there in the Middle with his arms crossed tightly over his chest was Mizuki a wide and rancorous look appearing on his face when he spotted her coming out of the underbrush moving over to him and placing the large scroll down on the ground she peered up at him and asked where's Nissan mazuki chuckled at the question and just shook his head something came up and he couldn't make it so he sent me instead congratulations on passing the test you you passed with flying colors and I am deeply impressed instead of the usual Happy tone that one would use in this case Mizuki voice was filled with nothing but vile and acrimoniously toned words now then IL be taking this and moving to one knee reached for the scroll on the ground knowing how important the scroll was to Naruto the many Jutsu s and dating back to even the Shai Hokage himself Reena quickly snapped her hands forward and pulled the scroll into her arms just take it home for Naruto thank you he wouldn't want anything to happen to it Mizuki Sensei she was getting a weird vibe from the man and it didn't sit well at all in her stomach Mizuki sneered at that and reached for The Scroll once again Reena pulling away from his incoming hand and jumping back to put some distance in between their bodies just give it here Reena your brother told me he wanted to see the scroll afterwards so that he could put it back in his room where it belongs Mizuki was only guessing there but it made sense to keep a scroll with so much power in it close at hand if need be it seemed to be the wrong thing to say though and Reena instantly was on guard her body language showing a more protective action as she turned her body slightly to the side do is to keep the scroll safe from harm with her own body Nissan doesn't keep the scroll in his room he never has she said making Mizuki curse his luck before throwing back his head and laughing the sound filled with utmost malice and animosity when he had finished his Amusement lacking laughter he stared back down at her and sneered manically oh you sure are a smart one smarter than I thought yes I tricked you your brother didn't make this test up nor have I ever spoken with that man now I will have that scroll and you will give it to me his body tightening he immediately lunged forward and with one arm cocked back delivered a heavy blow to the side of rina's head sending her sprawling back and the scroll flying high into the air flipping up to catch it he smirked as he settled on a branch high up in a tree overlooking the clearing the scroll nestled in his bent arms thank you Reena for delivering this to me I couldn't have done it without you but sadly I can't have any Witnesses and you being the only one I am going to kill you and take the scroll back to my master Orochimaru but before that I want to let you in on a little secret a very big secret that all revolves around you Reena scowled as she hefted herself back up one hand moving to examine the spot where she had been punched and winced when she felt a painful bump there that would surely bruise over later hearing his words about a secret she guessed what he was about to say and inwardly sighed to herself wondering if she could use this situation to get the scroll back she decided to play along her voice filled with real pain as she asked what do you mean secret mazuki laughed again have you ever wondered why everyone calls you a demon why everyone seems to hate you you've been lied to they've all been lying to you your whole life Reena since the decree 12 years ago what decree Everyone Knows by now aruka knows it the Hokage knows it even your own damn brother knows it and I am sure had do anything to make make me shut up and not tell you this haha the decree is no one can tell you that the caoi is inside you Reena blinked up at the man and feigning surprise shook her head in denial causing Mizuki to continue the fox spirit that killed your parents and destroyed our village has taken over your body you are the caoi this is why you've been treated like dirt since you were born they all hated you for just even being alive your brother most of all whimpering and beginning a limp like gate towards Mizuki Reena scowled beneath the hair that covered her face how dare this man say that about her brother he loved her to the ends of the Earth and back he had always been there for her and she would make Mizuki pay for saying such vile lies stopping just short of the tree she looked up at him the hair covering everything but one lone eye what surprised Mizuki here was that her ey showed neither sadness nor self-pity all he saw in those dull violet eyes was an inner fire that clearly expressed her anger it wasn't anger for herself but one directed solely at him I already know I have the damn caubi in me you prick she yelled at him suddenly before charging up the side of the tree using bursts of chakra in each step to push her body up even faster drawing a canai from her one lone pouch she attempted an uppercut the point of the blade narrowly missing mizuki's chin as he jerked his body back at the last moment getting over his initial surprise in order to avoid getting himself killed sneering at her he punched out hitting the girl Square in the gut and sent her flying backwards Reena bounced a few times as she hit the ground and there she lay groaning from falling nearly 30 ft along with trying to regain her lost breath reaching out behind him Mizuki withdrew a large fuma shuriken from his back scowling down at her said I bet if I stayed I would be praised as a hero for this die you [ __ ] demon rot in hell and with that he jerked his arm forward sending the shuriken whizzing towards the downed Reena Reena watched on her unresponsive knowing she wouldn't be able to dodge this she prepared for the hit she surely knew would come her eyes closing with her arms over her head yet the hit never came among the whirling sound of the shuriken as it drew near there was a loud whizzing and then the loud ping of metal hitting metal her body in a days and wondering why she hadn't been hit Reena removed her arms from her face and opened her eyes gasping at the side before her there standing in all his glory his dark red and black trimmed howy waving out behind him his long blonde hair cascading out to the side with was none other than her brother standing before her she couldn't see his face but the body language he exuded proved to Reena that he was completely and royally pissed off struggling to her feet but failing miserably all Reena could say was Nissan Naruto turned his head offering Reena only his right eye as he looked at her carefully Reena are you hurt Reena smiled up at him warmly before nodding his head yeah Mizuki teh hurt me and was just about to kill me before you showed up I see and Naruto turned his head back towards Mizuki who was showing the obvious signs of one who was scared shitless and knew their life was forfeit Mizuki you're dead and Naruto was about to launch himself at the man until his sister's warning held him in check Nissan wait he said something about Orochimaru being his master maybe you should capture him first Reena knew all about the great sonin upon close relations with two of them as well as reading about them in books she knew who Orochimaru was and how dangerous the man could be is that right well Mizuki it looks like you alive for a bit longer count yourself lucky and thank my sister I am not scared of you 'll beat you and then become powerful just like Orochimaru Sama told me you want Capture Me Mizuki launched himself at Naruto a canai in each hand Naruto merely sighed at the attempt and shook his head at the Mon's Folly it all happened so fast to Reena as she stared at the scene before her one moment Naruto was just there and then the next he was in front of Mizuki a regular canai drawn and buried to the hilt in the Mon's stomach mazuki hadn't known what had hit him he hadn't even seen the blonde man move and then all of a sudden there was an explosion of pain in his stomach a fire that just wouldn't go out coughing up blood Mizuki hunched over towards Naruto who of course stepped back and out of the way letting the man fall face down into the ground holding back the desire to kill the man for hurting his sister Naruto simply hit Mizuki on the back of his neck with the side of his hand putting him out of his his painful misery for the time being pursing his lips he gave a shrill whistle which was answered instantly by the flashing forms of four U members make sure he gets back to tea I he has possible information on Orochimaru that needs to be extracted oh and tell iiki that he has my permission to do what he likes with him there should be no holding back with this one scowling down at the figure narut walked over Reena after picking up the discarded scroll crouching down he grabbed her hand and gingerly lifted her up onto her feet are you injured Reena shook her head and smiled up at her older brother no not really there's just going to be some bruises that's all nodding his head in acceptance Naruto scooped her up in his arms Bridal style much to his sister's Chagrin and hopped up onto the nearest large tree branch beginning the short Trek home through the trees you didn't have to carry me I could have walked home said Reena with a half protest since she hadn't really desired to walk the three miles back Nar chuckled I no but it's the duty of a brother to annoy his sister and I thought now would be the time for it since you got into so much trouble Reena yawned and not bothering to argue with him since she really did not have the strength at all to do so simply curled up tighter into his Embrace pressing the side of her head into his strong chest and drifted off into a light sleep XXX hokages Sama are you really not going to do anything about this the girl should be punished for what she did cried a man with the jacket of a junin many of those around him seemed to agree showing their support with vigorous nods of their heads why should I it's not like we lost the scroll and from what I can see it was all Mizuki that caused this he simply tricked young Reena into believing this was one of Naruto's tests that he sometimes concocts I am sure you are all aware how some of those tests can be there was a low Rumble of amusement from many of the people standing in the packed Hokage office there is no reason to punish the girl and I will not allow it a tall woman with the matching jacket of the many around her stepped forward Ward asking hok Sama how did Reena get the Forbidden scroll shouldn't it have been locked up to keep it out of the hands of a person like Mizuki H Isen smiled before shaking his head it should have been but as Naruto was so kind as to let me look over a Jutsu from the scroll it had been in my office when I went to the council meeting a few hours ago that reminds me I should return it to him before the night is out now then I think the crisis has been diverted and all is well once again in the world you may all return home and rest easy and everyone did just that none resting easier than the red-haired girl snuggled up under her blankets after a long and stress-filled day XXX a few days later the conference room was packed to the brink there were countless Jun and there all huddled up into groups as they chatted away with friends and co-workers many were wondering why they were there while some knew the exact reason and kept it a secret lest they ruin whatever the Hokage had to say in calling this meeting one such group stood together three men and one woman pressed compactly together so as to be heard over the D of those around them one man a dark and full beard covering his jawline a cigarette locked in between his lips and a body exhibiting the strength of a bear was talking excitedly with another man with whom had his hot eye tied backwards as that of a bandana and a wooden sbon sticking out of his mouth the other man dressed in a solid green latex jumpsuit was vividly talking about how youthful his female partner was for finally making junan after so long for her part she just smiled at the compliment barely knowing what the bull cut haired man was talking about and inwardly scowling at having been stuck speaking with him Cur assuma and jenma she thought as she tried in vain to get out of conversing with guy in the nicest way possible it was then that the large oak wood doors opened moving through the entrance with his hands clasped tightly behind his back and flanked by two of his advisers the Hokage entered the room and the chatter within immediately ceased walking purposely to the raised platform at the front of the room the third Hokage sat down in his sees a position on his pillow matching the many others that littered the ground throughout the conference room following his lead all the rooms occupants mimicked their Hokage and all stared up at him as they waited for him to speak thank you for all coming here today today is a great day for the village for yet again the time has come for new jenon to be introduced into the Shinobi world and new instructors to be selected to teach these young children I will not force any of you to step forward but I feel it would be an honor for many of you to pass on what you know down to the Next Generation so without further Ado I will ask those that wish to become junan instructors to please step forward and say your names so that I may record them it was here where hiren snapped his fingers and kaharu moved forward an elegant quill in hand in which she handed to her Hokage before stepping back heres and prepared the Quill's tip with ink and brushing away any drop peered down at the crowd assembled and waited for any volunteers eight figures stood three of these being jenma Asuma and kurai who said their names aloud as indic they wished to become instructors for the next batch of jenin carefully writing each name down heisen then nodded to them all silently requesting them to sit back down all right then this should work out perfectly we have nine instructors and exactly 27 possible jenin thank you all for volunteering and I am sure you will all enjoy your time together if your teams pass this statement pequ everyone's interest for they knew that only eight people had stood to be recognized excuse me hokages Sama but who is this ninth person asked K andai quite curious as to whom this ninth individual might be ah well I believe he is running a little late after dealing with a few things but and the hokagay stopped when a bright yellow light flashed beside him the light dissipated as soon as it began and there standing beside the Hokage was none other than Uzumaki namazi Naruto his arms crossed over his chest with a small smirk gracing his lips ah there you are Naruto [ __ ] so nice of you to join us did you handle the situation you were dealing with yes I did hok Sama thank you here Isen smiled very good I was just finishing up recording the names of the other instructors that will be accepting the position of instructors this time around when everyone heard their Hokage say other All Eyes within the room besides the notable exception of the Hokage his two advisers and of course Nar went wide with shock and surprise staring straight at Naruto Uzumaki namazi Naruto an s-rank Shinobi with enormous skill that was said to match any of the Great sanin and in whom the third Hokage had announced was to be his successor so long as a certain condition they had made was met was becoming an instructor to a team of jenon the news was so shocking that many had their mouths wide open and a senbon and cigarette dropped to the ground beside jenma and assuma respectively H this is going to be fun I think Naruto said and gave the crowd before him one of his foxy grins that made many of the females within the room blush K and I included I hope so as well now Naruto will you please take a seat so that we can continue with our meeting I know you have things to do so I will try to make this short receiving a bow of thanks from Naruto for that the blonde searched the room for an empty pillow and noticing one beside Kur andai he made his way over and sat down in the same position as the rest of them Kur andai watched him and when he took notice of her stare offered him a smile and Nod it's surprising that you actually becoming an instructor Naruto I thought your talents would be better spent somewhere else Nar turned his head to look at at her before chuckling let's just say the Hokage knows how to drive a hard bargain there are a few special conditions that were made for me to take this position that benefits all parties plus I think it'll be fun I am great with kids or so I believe KR and I lightly chuckled as well the sound having an obvious female influence compared to Naruto's much deeper tone very well I am glad to be working with you perhaps all the new instructors can get a quick bite to eat after this to discuss a few things sorry I am late G I got a little held up in some seal workor and sort of lost track of time said one blonde narut as he walked into the hokage's office today was the day the new jenin teams would officially be assigned their junin instructors and since he already had the two jenin he wanted the blonde had been in no real Rush incoming even after realizing he was already late as it was half an hour prior whilst he had been constructing a potentially new seal it is no matter Naruto we were just about to start so please come over replied the old Hokage as he sat behind his desk with various information cards pictures and the name of each candidate in bold black ink above have you told them that two of those kids are off limits yet I was just waiting on you to do just that here ised now assuma K andai while the normal procedure is to allow junan to assemble and just pick their candidates alt together this time around it's a special case many of these candidates are Clan heirs are in the case of the inuzuka children of the current Clan head they specifically requested for you two to watch over their children and I would take it as a great honor that they did and which two were off limits and why questioned Asuma as he glanced over the varying pictures before them that would be young Uchiha sake due to political reasons and Uzumaki namazi Reena for obvious reasons as I am sure you can imagine the two other instructors swiveled their heads to the side to stare at Naruto who simply Shrugged remember those conditions I was talking of Kai those would be them that's how this old cot managed to convince me every one of them chuckled at the even the Hokage anyways I believe narut should go first since he has only one decision to make to finish off his three-man team when the Hokage saw the other two incline their heads to show that they agreed hiris in turned to the tall blonde and asked Naruto who will you choose Nar turned to gaze down at all of the pictures his eyes flicking to each one in turn while completely and purposely avoiding the information cards he stared at each face examined each carefully as might have her her with his flock it was after a few hmms that he finally made up his mind giving his answer in the form of an explanation for the benefit of his peers while I would have originally chosen hyuga hanata due to her connection with my sister and thus forming two-thirds of a fully coherent unit right off the bat since they know each other already I will leave her to someone else also I am very sorry but I cannot accept a fan girl like those two girls yamanaka Eno and Haruno Sakura they would refuse to work or train and simply watch watch SAS all day narut shot them a warning look I would advise they be separated from him at all costs so that they may try and improve without worrying about impressing him so much in addition to that I see that there are the clan heirs for Nara akamichi and yamanaka here so I would advise a second version of the Eno shika show combination to form an extremely powerful and well-coordinated team as their parents were that just leaves two choice left to consider inuzuka kba and abam Shino both tracker types Nar paused of the two I believe sheo the more capable in a situation and thus choose him as my third member GG the other two had listened intently to the evaluation of each so as to gain a better Insight on those they might possibly be training as a team heisen smiled and scribbling the name down onto a paper laid his eyes on the other two assuma in particular it has been brought to my attention that shaku speaking for his two teammates requests that you assuma teach the new inos shikao team they believe that you would be the most capable of such a task and that they would Thrive under your care I warn you though from experience this team if at anything like their parents is going to need motivation to get them going remember that well do you accept assuma nodded saying sure I do before stepping back so as to give Kai the flower who was somewhat scowling as she looked between the last remaining three images I suppose I will have the last three then hanada I do mind in the least but the other two will require more work I will have to try and convince this soccer that being Fang girl is not something to be advised in the world of a kunoichi and it could rightly get her killed Horizon nodded resolutely very well then it seems all candidates have been assigned teams let me give you the number of your teams then team seven will be under Naruto Team eight will be under kurai finally team 10 will be under Asuma you are to return here in 3 days and two hours prior to picking up your students so as to get a glimpse of what you all will be dealing with in this Bunch if that is all you are dismissed all accept you Naruto when he received a questioning glance from the young man heris and went on your presence has been requested in the private conference room by request of my advisers giving Naruto a heads up with that last word to indicate who and what he might be having to deal with assuma chuckled at The Misfortune of his fellow junan and clapped him on the shoulder before leaving out the now open door kurai simply shook her head and offering Naruto a kind smile retreated out the room as well following after her old teammate Naruto sighed and rubbing the back of his head turned to the Hokage I suppose we better get going than eh we don't want to leave those three bags of Bones waiting or they might just topple over and D her Isen growled you will remember that I am as old as them so in this case you were calling me a bag of bones as well watch your place boy oh are you I didn't know that if I did I would never have insulted the mighty and alln knowledgeable Hokage in such a way Naruto countered figting surprise and a genuine apology I would hope not if you did I believe I would have to knock some sense into the thick skull of yours and show you your place young welp and I am sure I would know my place after that well that would be the case if you didn't break your back while just throwing a single punch like I hear that old sui KAG gizer is honestly Gigi you really must retire let someone half your age who's only just reaching the half century mark take up the mantle the Hokage grew a tick mark at that and pointed a menacing finger at the tall Naruto I am only 69 boy learn some respect Nar smirked back at him seeming to have achieved his mission in riling up the usually cool-headed old man but had to return his own rebuttal to finish off his victory I will once you stop reading those smut filled books by AOS Sensei you're just a pervert and don't deserve respect for that at this the Hokage seemed to get a nose bed specifically remembering a scene he had been reading that morning that had involved two young women some leather restraints and a paddle This friendly banter continued for the duration of their trip to the private conference room but once approaching the entranceway both men looked towards the other before assuming neutral and indifferent Expressions once inside hiren moved to the unoccupied seat reserved for the Hokage between his advisers while Naruto assumed a standing position in front of all four his posture assuming a non- imposing stance for the time being with his arms crossed over his chest Uzumaki namazi narut we have been expecting you said hura simply while glancing at the man in question I assume you must know why you have been called here today well if I had to guess then I would think this concerns either SAS my sister or both you were quite correct we are here to discuss both in turn concerning them on your team hura continued and what is it you want to discuss about them mokatada San it is simple you will pass sake and teach him everything you know answered kaharu cutting in before her ex teammate could speak you have no choice in the matter training SAS and keeping your sister in check are your top prior ities from this day forth she added in a smug manner her lips formed into a superior smirk Naruto eyes flashed to her in Anger is that right I have no choice in the matter and why might that be from what I can see the elders are simply ordering me to do what they want while having no power over me in the slightest only the Hokage has the right to command me and even then he knows that I will question something if I feel it is unjust or unlawful you would force me to share all my secrets and techniques you would force me to share with him the flying Thunder under God it was here that Nar then began to State rather than question laying piercingly cold eyes on all free advisers you would have me share with him how to perform the renon which if you must know is classified as a family Jutsu as are my flash step and the flying Thunder godod you would have me show him my ultimate jutsus or the specially designed ones that have taken me years to perfect you would even have me share my Mastery over seals to him correct me if anything I have said is wrong so that I might go back and apologize for my words he paused and took a breath Elders you presume much if you think that I would willingly hand over a single Jutsu or technique that I have mentioned or not in the case of a few The Way of the Ninja is to keep one's Secrets secret and only reveal them to those you trust you have no control over me nor will you unless you somehow assume the position of hokagay which I highly doubt any of you will his gay is Shifting towards danzo for a split second at this final remark kaharu was furious with the boy and his words perceiving them as a threat you will listen to us boy we are the advisers of this Village and will tell you what you must do it was here that she felt the full force of a pissed-off Naruto his power had increased over the many years and with it had his ability to throw out his killing intent that right at that moment was pressured solely on the female Elder as I said Elder you presume much you cannot force me to do anything I have no desire to do I hold more cards on the table than all of you combined in trying to make me reveal my secrets you not only put myself and my sister at risk you put the very Village at risk and if I was to take a page out of danzo's book and his eyes flicked to said scarred man before shifting back to kaharu I would see that as a risk to the village and thus would terminate you at this very moment to protect it here the pressure reduced marginally for a moment before utterly disappearing leaving behind a gasping kaharu however I am not danzo and will never be so I suppose you need not worry about that at the moment if my words or actions were unclear before I will will not teach sake any of my techniques if he gains my trust then perhaps I will teach him one but that is for me to decide and not you and you do not trust SAS a fellow ninja of this Village questioned Hira the question held no threatening tone behind it only exhibiting the words of a curious man at the present I do not Mado San currently SAS is exhibiting Avenger like symptoms and his mind is solely on the death of his clan and killing Itachi it would do no good in teaching him my personal techniques for he would simply try and use them to kill his brother I hold no hate or love for Itachi since I have had only the briefest encounters with the man but I will not have my techniques used for vengeance or evil so no I do not trust SAS now but in time if he fixes himself I can say I might eventually hura nodded his head accepting the explanation and reasoning before settling back but kaharu was still Furious of being reprimanded by a mere boy to her and said your parents would be ashamed they would have done what was right for this Village and it was then barely a second after yelling out that she felt Cold Steel pressing up against her jugular the sharpened edge of nutk Sword urging her to cease speaking listen to me and listen well kaharu what I am doing is right for the village no matter how much you wish to contradict it for your own selfish agenda I can tolerate you criticizing me however and here he leaned down his lips pressing so close to the back of her ear that she felt his hot breath cascading across her now chilled skin I will not and let me make myself clear I will not tolerate you badmouthing anyone close to me especially my parents they gave up their lives for your pitiful on so you would best remember that do not insult those I find precious again or this Village will be in need of a new advisor I hope I made myself perfectly clear and pressing his blade further into her neck so that a single drop of her blood dribbled down the side of her throat withdrew himself from behind her and teleported himself in front of the four once again as ever the Hokage was impressed with the sheer speed of the man but clearing his throat as if to release the tension within the room said yes well I think that issue is done with for now we will move on to the next issue at hand your sister Naruto bowed his head at that before putting on a grim smile I will watch over her and make sure nothing happens to her she is much more than some of you envision her to be and she is no mere tool to be handled nor would I let her be treated in such way however if something happens concerning the caubi within her I will use that technique to nullify the effects and return her to normal hereis and nodded before turning to the other three beside him I think that is everything then like I said before you were to be here 2 hours before picking up your students which will be at noon that day kaharu gaining her voice after several minutes of being speechless cried out and uiha SAS will pass his test that is not up for debate Naruto who had turned to leave looked back over his shoulder at this the one eye they could all see being dark Cerulean and looked so much like that of his fathers that three of the people people within the room shivered I will test my team how I see fit I will watch and examine each of the three's skill equally and judge accordingly and if I am satisfied then they will all pass I believe that sending SAS back alive to the academy is better than a dead sake out in the field I think you would all agree to that and with that and a sweep of his cloak he was gone in a bright yellow Flash kaharu HM p d raising her hand up to rub at the slightly bleeding spot where the sword had nicked her skin insolent well he should be put in prison for what he just did heisen chuckled ah but we cannot do that there would be a violent uproar and I will not lie about what happened here today to save face for you he lightly scolded before removing himself from the conference room quickly followed by Hira kaharu turned to the ever silent Elder and scowled something must be done if not I fear SAS will leave in order to gain strength with someone who will s that he might kill Itachi that brat must do what we say danzo turned to his fellow adviser staring at her long and hard before finally speaking it is true the Sharingan must stay within the village SAS cannot leave whether or not the solution is offering techniques to the boy is completely Up For Debate if I must kill him and fertilize Choice women with his seed I shall the Sharingan is too powerful a tool and cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of our enemies he paused to consider something but shook his head as if getting rid of some idea either way we shall watch and wait we cannot Rush this as I am sure you are aware agreed kaharu said before both she and danzo left the room XXX one week later Reena walked through the halls of the academy pondering over the identity of her junan instructor she remembered how her brother had told her that the students had really only gone through half the actual Jen and test at this point and wondered if she too would be one of the many that would actually be sent back another 6 months for making it this far into the jenin exam and sticking to the plan these last few years narut had decided to go out with her on a rare shoing spree and buy her anything she liked While most girls would have taken advantage of this opportunity using his generosity for their own materialistic gains Reena didn't and she only picked out what she thought she would need and nothing more Reena now wore a beige colored shirt that had various black rectangles that lined the edges beneath that she was dressed up in a solid black shirt along with a sash that encircled her waist keeping her shirt from opening at the front under all of this she wore black leggings finished off with a matching colored pair of sandals she had no pouches around her thighs but on the back of leggings they consisted of two pouches for both shuriken and Kai as well a few explosive notes when needed I don't think it necessary to describe any of the others for obvious reasons deep in thought and rounding a corner she nearly crashed into hanata and Drew hastily to the side in order to avoid the imminent collision with the pale-eyed beauty whoops sorry about that hanata Chan I didn't see you there don't apologize if it was anyone's fault it was mine for not paying attention attention to where I was going since meeting Reena those many years ago and actually having a friend that wanted to play with her as well as somewhat mellow out her own father hanata had since lost some of the pressure that was put on her for being the clan heys to the hyua clan this resulted in that terrible stutter becoming almost non-existent unless put under greater stress than normal without that pressure hanata had grown up stronger than she would have due in part to not having to try and impress an emotionless father that pushed her to the brink and rarely gave compliment for for her effort she was not as strong as her cousin Nei but she was getting there and drawing closer to him every day Reena smiled at hanata how about we chalk it up to both our faults and move from there how have your last few days been ready for your new team my last few days have been great thank you I've been trying to improve my skills and how far I can extend my sight with the Bakugan I don't want to be the weak link on my team same here except for the ey part I wonder who's going to be on my team Reena grin w ly let's both beg Cammy above not to have those girls with us it would be amazing if we were together though exclaimed Reena beaming towards hanata at the idea that would be amazing if we were but you never know true enough we should hurry and get to class we're going to be late if we don't hurry and with that Reena grabbed Hinata's hand and all but pulled her along until they reached the classroom opening it they stepped inside and immediately sought out their customary seats in the middle desk on the fourth row there they sat down and looked around noticing quite a number of people missing from their average day of class seems like a lot of people didn't make it Reena commented as she turned her head this way and that yes it does I am glad we both passed though flashing Reena a quick smile before the peace and Tranquility was sorely evaporated with the arrival of two girls storming their way into the room just go back to your pig styo pig sasun would never want someone that snorts all the time cried the pink-haired Sakura if I snored a lot then you would just blind him with that big billboard brow of yours honestly it's so big I wonder how you support it cried the blond-haired Eno at that comment both girls seemed to be approaching a Breaking Point their foreheads clashing Their Eyes on Fire fists raised up threateningly but all stopped when UA sake walked in he looked at the two girls pressed up against one another scoffed and simply walked to his usual seat by the window where he sat down and stared straight forward not acknowledging anyone after that this type of action had always confused Reena when concerning sake what on Earth could he be thinking about so much on a daily basis sure she knew that his entire Clan had been nearly wiped out but he still had his mother with him surely he didn't think of Revenge that much did he that would drive someone mad constantly thinking about such things Reena was momentarily startled out of her thoughts when the door opened once more and in walked their Sensei Amino aruka he had a thin scar running across his face tan skin and brown hair that was always tied up into a long pineapple Arrangement he had been nice enough to Reena way better than most would treat her and she had learned more from him than all of her previous senses combined hello everyone starting today your status as students no longer exists for now you are all Shinobi of the village among you there are two others that you will be teamed up with to perform missions and work under a junan instructor to improve on your skills everyone's eyes wandered around the room flicking from one person to the next as they tried to guess who they would be teamed up both Eno and Sakura's gazes were all on SAS the predatory stairs evident we've arranged the groups such that overall abilities are equivalent I will now announce them team one aruka continued listing the groups in order of number giving off the three names per group before moving on to the next team seven will be abam Shino Uchiha sasak and Uzumaki namazi Reena team eight will be Haruno Sakura hi UGA hanata and inuzuka kba since team N9 is still in circulation so we will move on to the next team 10 will be Eno yamanaka akamichi aoi and narash Shikamaru finished with reading off the names he stared at all that with a warm smile we will take an hour lunch break before you all return to meet your new instructors be safe out there and come visit whenever you want it's been a pleasure having you in my class XXX Naruto snickered as he turned and saw the blank yet Oho readable Expressions on his two fellow junin I got the good team all right hope you twoo like obsessive with a side of ferus they both looked at him and were obviously peeved both pointing rather viciously Asuma accusingly said you knew they were this bad didn't you you could have warned us you know ah but then I wouldn't have gotten to see the looks on your faces no hard feelings nay KR and I released a growl at that and all the time scowling moved over and simply hit the man on the back of the head that's what you get idiot narut keeled over clutching at the growing lump a tatata you didn't have to do that kurai it was only a joke I am sure they'll work out fine they better or ill Flay you quick in one of my ultimate jutsus Naruto not wanting to point out that most genjutsu didn't work on him because the large amount of chakra he possessed could burst out of him on command simply nodded like a wise man should in the situation and kept quiet so that's the bunch huh a bit more uniqueness and variety if I have say anything let's see what we can do here eh said Asuma as he took a drag of his cigarette K and I once again growled and snatched the cigarette from his mouth throwing it out the hokage's open window when will you learn that those things will kill you when will you learn that they probably want since I use wind chakra around my lungs to circulate all the smoke out I sooner die of old age than these things K and I hm p audibly and began to storm out of the room but when she noticed no one was was following her she turned her head and raised a single eyebrow in a threatening gesture you guys coming both men looked at one another and gulping in unison did what any male under such a menacing glare would do stumbling after The Irate female as they all made their way to their favorite barbecue place XXX Reena stood up from her seat as they were all dismissed for the time being looking to hanata she frowned I would ask you to lunch but I think you should go with your team it would be a good bonding time I agree while I don't like it but that is if we can get Sakura San away from sasak San both girls looked over towards SAS who had both Sakura and Eno hovering around him as the Lions waiting for the prey to come out when he didn't both looked at one another before breaking out into argument and a small bit of wrestling ensued change of plans sighing her shoulders slumping and her head bent Reena once again questioned how some people could possibly pass the Gen andest if they acted like that turning her head she saw Shino and asked I think they'll be here a while so 'll go with hanata would you like to join us for lunch it would be better there than here and she trailed off watching as soccer a viously tugged at Eno's ponytail with a maniacal grin that would acceptable thank you I shall accompany you and rising from his seat Shino followed Reena hanata and keba out the classroom leaving behind two panting and frazzled girls who were still fighting over who was allowed to even look at sake XXX after lunch had ended and all jenin candidates sat once more in their chairs they all waited talking quietly with one another to pass the time after around 10 minutes had passed they heard the Door Creek open and all looked over they standing at the doorway with his hote tied backwards and Hands In Pockets was jenma team one I am shiranui jenma your new junan instructor please follow me this process continued until finally only three teams of three sat in the room being confined in the same room for any multitude of time would make some people antsy or bored however with this select group they were all just simply annoyed due in part to the two girls randing and wailing trying to impress SAS in any way possible Reena personally actually felt sorry for the boy and what he had to deal with but did not feel inclined to share her thoughts on that matter when all in the room heard The Telltale creaking of the door they all instantly swiveled their heads around all pleading in their minds that their team would get to get the hell out of this mad house however all desperation on the looks of those looking at the open door instantly disappeared and in its place was shock and amazement none exhibiting more of each than that of Reena standing in the doorway with a hand in pocket and a brow raised as he stared at the room's occupants stood none other than usumaki namazi narut behind him standing with obviously amused Expressions were the figures of both Asuma and karanai watching the children while trying to stifle down their own fits of laughter at the scene sighing and rubbing at the back of his head at the reactions due to his presence Naruto simply said Team 7 You're With Me meet Me Up on the Roof turning he gave both fellow Jun a wink and before everyone's eyes simply vanished suddenly in a yellow flash it was at that moment that all heads turned creepingly towards the still shocked figure of Reena all wanted to ask but none seemed to be able to until at long last keba broke the silence what the hell Reena why didn't you tell us your brother was a Jun and Sensei Reena just shook her head from side to side slowly muttering softly I didn't know he never told me at this the original silence in the room burst and everyone began to vividly talk with another about the Naruto teaching a jenin team it was just insane to them Shino was the first to rise from his team and looking from Reena then to SAS said I believe it would be prudent to not keep our Sensei waiting especially given his reputation the other two just nodded and as one the newly formed team seven made their way out of the room and headed towards the stairs as they left they heard a female voice followed by a deep male voice saying Team 8 I am yo Kur andai if you would follow me please team 10 you're with me let's get a move on XXX all three members of Team seven made their way up the final set of stairs all wondering if they really had gotten the yellow wraith as an instructor Ren was flabbergasted that shed be taught by her brother true it wouldn't be the first time shed be taught by him but he never had had the official title of instructor like he did now Shino was carefully analyzing the situation whilst talking to his bugs they had all freaked out at the presence of their new Sensei informing Shino that his chakra levels were off the roof even greater than that of his sister Reena sake was mentally breaking down what he knew of the man from the first encounter he could recall from his childhood to the present the man was a warrior and sake had to find out how he got so strong he was only 19 so there must be some secret way he had gotten so powerful in such a short time if SAS could figure that out then the three students made their way out of the building and onto the roof all looking about until Reena spotted her brother relaxing and leaning up against the railing bordering the edge of the roof as if sensing they had approached he cocked his head up and pointed to the stairs before him go ahead and sit both Shino and Reena did as commanded but SAS continued to stand eyes narrowed as he simply stared intently at the tall blonde before him he was taking in everything from the red hued sword on his back all the way to the numerous pouches that adorned his figure the man gave off such power even while relaxing and SAS had to know how I said sit sake heard Naruto say and whether it was by his own choice or his body responding to the power behind those three words SAS would never know he just sat down as commanded like the other two of his teammates all right then as you probably all know I am Uzumaki namazi Naruto brother to your female teammate I am to be your new junan instructor now then I think introductions are in order how about we say what our likes dislikes hobbies and dreams are she raised his hand and being addressed with a nod asked can you give us an example well sure let's see I like my sister I have quite a few dislikes my hobbies are fun and my dream is none of your business all right sheo you go first we didn't get anything off him he did that on purpose Shino and sake quickly realized very well my name is abam Shino I like my bugs and examining bugs I dislike pesticides my hobby is to collect new bugs my dream is to one day find a specific bug and nurture it so that I may be the only one that has ever done so and lived come a specific bug eh I hope you find it one day then next up baby Reena Naruto said with a smirk Reena growled at him flashing and I am going to get you later for that look before sighing and giving her introductions I am uzum namazi Reen I like my brother friends and ramen I dislike people who hate people for things that were not of their own choosing my hob are to train with my big brother and try to outbeat him in something my dream is to one day be recognized by everyone become a powerful kunoichi and then whoop my brother's ass and you'll never beat me in anything little Reena Naruto teased before turning to the last boy on his new team you Duck Butt sake you're up sake immediately grew a tick mark at that comment and immediately snapped up to his feet trying to appear menacing before the still visibly relaxed narut who the hell do you think you are I am no duck but I am uch sake I am one of the last of the U show me some respect whatever SAS was expecting from Nar it certainly wasn't the laughter that soon ensued if one was to look at Nar they would have seen his head craned back mouth open wide with tears coming the side of his eyes so hard was he laughing but then as if he had done a complete 180 the laughter abruptly stopped and in its place stood an emotionless slightly peeved Naruto staring directly at s the power of authority radiating off The Man In Waves forcing SAS to fall back onto his backside you may be one of the last uch but let me clarify something there are three of you still in this world how many namazi are left in the world the answer is two how many Uzumaki remain after the entire Clan was wiped out in a mass genocide by three of the five Great Nations massing together on them the answer is unknown but very few of us remain if that your clan isn't the only one that was wiped out and it w be the last you want me to show you respect Ern it SAS I am not like that sniveling elder kaharu or most of this Village that will bow down at your feet and give you anything you want because you one of the last uch left if I have to pull rank on you I will but I D much prefer our time together to be beneficial now then State your introduction so that we can continue on to our next subject sake was to say the least shocked throughout his entire life he had never been spoken to in that manner before this coupled with the fact had never heard Naruto like this subdued the boy into obedience for the time being my name is Uchiha sake I hate a lot of things and I don't particularly like anything what I have is not a dream because I will make it a reality I am going to restore my clan and destroy a certain someone both Shino and Reena looked over towards the boy but it was Naruto's voice that cut through the silence like a knife through butter is that right you're talking about Itachi right he was in my class for a bit before he moved up you're out of your league if you think you can take him he was a true genius and managed to finish the academy in a year even I might have difficulties with that man it's good to have a dream but a dream full of Revenge and hatred will do you no good SAS SAS hm p d at that and looked away not responding to the Jabs at his strength all right then now that we know each other a bit better ID say let's get to the fun part tomorrow we will all be going through survival training and if you succeed you will all become official jenin of the village what what do you mean become jenin Sensei I believe we are already at that rank due to passing the jenin test questioned Shino is cool and collected as ever oh you did pass that portion of the test but now you have to finish it the thing is kitties the test is divided relatively in half you've got the part you take at the Academy and now you have to take the last half with me as your junan instructor it is me you must impress because you'll be making the call if you become jener get sent back to the academy for another 6 months this is a past or fail test and the likelihood that you will all be sent back is roughly at 66% both SAS and Shino were shocked and that was saying something Reena on the other hand didn't show an ounce of nervousness or even surprise as her other two companions had she had already known it would come to this but had not quite expected the junin to actually be her brother this would be interesting to say the least anyways you are all to meet me at training ground 3 at 7: a.m. tomorrow morning don't be late oh and don't even breakfast you'll just end up throwing it up see ya and with that without even moving from his spot on the railing narut disappeared in a yellow flash after a few moments of Silence Shino turned to Reena since he is your brother do you know what type of test he will be giving us even I don't know what he is thinking half the time but I imagine it will be very physical and mentally challenging he's so into those types of things very well I will see you all tomorrow then goodbye for now Reena San s San and without further Ado Shino stood and walked back inside Reena was about to follow when sas's voice stopped her Reena how is he so strong how can he be so powerful and be so young sighing and shaking her head Reena turned around and stared at the still unmoving boy it isn't my place to say SAS that's for him to tell you if you manage to gain his respect but it'll give you a hint it involves people close to you just think on it and with that she turned around once more and headed off people close to me what does that even mean sake questioned himself out loud his mind trying to solve that little riddle while refusing to budge from his seat until he did SAS would not find his answer and after many hours of just sitting there and thinking he reluctantly stood up and left the now darkened building of the academy XXX Reena yawned mightily as she sat back against a tree her eyes half closed her expression like the other two around her showed drowsiness but she knew she had to keep sharp who knew what sort of test her brother had conceived the possibilities were endless really including the possibility that the test had already started and the three of them were just completely unaware of the fact still Reena knew one thing she would prove to her brother that she had what it took to be a leaf Shinobi and make her parents proud with that Reena managed to stand while a little clumsily turning to her other companions she said we should n be sitting I think we should be as awake as possible this is my brother we're talking about both boys groaned but seeing the logic in her words stood up alongside Reena from there they moved to the center of the field and began a light workout consisting of push-ups sit-ups and a few jogs around the field to get their bodies warmed up and their minds as sharp as possible it was just after they had finished that Naruto finally showed up Landing elegantly a few feet away with a smile upon his lips I see you guys are ready for today I am glad most teams would have just lazed about and been unprepared at the start of the test being given to them so then who's ready for the test he was met with silence but the eyes of each despite Shino wearing glasses showed their Readiness and excitement oh good I can see that you're all serious about this very well then let me give some details about the test with that he withdrew two Silver Bells from one of his pockets the Rising Sun glinting off the smooth metal as he dangled them for all three to see It'll be taking one out of the thirds in my father's books let's call it a tradition of sorts you three are to try and retrieve these bells before the timer on this clock and here he withdrew said clock from seemingly out of thin air goes off but there are only two bells and three of us Sensei Shino pointed out he that's very true whoever gets a bell gets to eat lunch however the loser gets tied up and will be forced to watch as the other two eat as well said loser will be sent back to the academy while I take the final two as my team it was here that silence rained until the audible growling of all three stomachs rumbled their opinions on that score narut merely chuckled and shook his head my my it seems none of you caught on caught on to what questioned SAS as he scowled at the tall blonde well for one thing you three are obviously hungry that in itself is bad for as ninja you must be prepared at all times to go into battle this means that you must constantly keep your bodies fueled with the correct nutrients without that fuel you can burn out way faster than you would if you had eaten while it is a Shinobi's job to listen to orders and follow them it is also important to listen and discern what is being said underneath the words for example I advised not ordered you do not to eat breakfast on the grounds that you would likely throw up if I had commanded I would have preferred to see you ignore that command because it wouldn't be beneficial for your body you have to see underneath the underneath and make decisions based on that of course I am not saying to just ignore every command given to you but you must discern if you should or should not follow the commands given to you all three took in what he said to heart knowing each word to be true seeing that they understood him Naruto then went on all right then how about we start this test it won't be easy I assure you to even be able to come close to snatching the bells you must come at me with the intent to kill anything less and you will fail are there any questions receiving none narut smiled and placing his hand on the clock pressed down to start it the test begins now you have 1 hour if you don't get these Bells by 8 you all fail begin with that all three dis appeared from sight all three finding a hiding spot to observe and come up with a strategy in order to try and get a bell at least there that smart thought Naruto as he moved to a nearby log sitting down to wait it out until one of them made a move although he sincerely hoped they would catch on to the main objective in this test Naruto didn't have to wait long for the first of his jenin to strike or more especifically prepare his assault taking notice of the Long Trail of bugs heading sneakily up the side of his log narut didn't show that he had noticed and merely sat there waiting when at last the first of shino's bugs had found his hand Naruto instantly shot a load of chakra towards it easily filling its chakra capacity up and sending the small Beetle scurrying away as if now weary of Naruto the other bugs stopped their approach and merely watched nice try Shino trying to drain me of my chakra although you should know better if what I know about your family's bugs are to be believed emerging from behind a nearby tree Shino observed the man still casually sitting and nodded yes you are correct my bugs have discerned you have a massive amount of chakra far higher than any normal human being that in itself is very interesting but I have seen the flaw strategy to suck you dry it is my assumption that it would have taken nearly a full day of constant absorption to get you to a level one could properly combat you chuckling Naruto Rose and without saying anything quickly darted forward appearing in an instant behind the boy without even the use of his special sandals striking out at the middle of shino's back with a closed fist Naruto sent the boy flying away before he bounced a landing 10 ft away this is something we must improve if you pass this test Chino while your family's techniques are very interesting and capable in a fight you rely too heavily on that to keep your enemies at a distance if an enemy were to do what I just did you would be dead you must improve on your skills when an opponent is close up that way you will not be put at a disadvantage when put into a situation where the opponent excels at getting in close Shino grimaced at the small amount of pain lacing his back but nodded his head in a gesture of understanding I will make sure to do as you recommended I will withdraw for now and withdrew quickly of that running back off into the woods Naro stood there and reaching into a front pocket removed a short rolled up Scroll that held various seals he had been working un recently unrolling the parchment narut tilted his head down to view his work searching for any errors that he might have made for in dealing with seals even the smallest mistake could mean the life of the one working with them if I focus more on the relay seal within my palm to accept the chakra traveling between it and the transmitter I could possibly have the ability to recollect my alter dimensional room wherever I see fit if I could do this I could have the room at my disposal whenever I might need it but how to alter the flow of chakra so that I don't drain my entire chakra Supply trying to connect the seal on my palm with the one at the house this is problematic indeed thought Naruto biting at his lower lip as he racked his brain for an answer to his dilemma during all of this he had been half pain paying attention to the newest figure trying to approach him stealthily from behind knowing exactly who it was narut had made sure to keep her always in radar but did not give a hint that he knew she was there suddenly hearing the approach of various weapons Kai and shuriken by the sound of it Naruto lazily Twisted to the side spinning on his heels as to both Dodge the incoming Weaponry as well as to allow him to stare straight at the aggressor seeing Reena there arm outstretched after her throw Naruto sighed and rolling his scroll back up placed the paper back in his pocket before smirking at his sister you know Reena those weapons are very dangerous we wouldn't want little Reena accidentally hurting herself now would we Nar enjoyed teasing his sister for one thing she was easily frustrated because of how she looked up to him and wanted to prove to him that she was not weak for another thing she wanted to get out of both her father's and brother's shadows and strike out on her own to make a name for herself she didn't want to be thought of as the little sister or the daughter of those two she wanted to be known for her abilities and not someone else's Naruto applauded her motivation and always tried to help her when she appeared she was in a funk or had asked him for assistance screw you Nan itk show you how dangerous weapons can be with that Reena sprinted forward legs pumping the ground beneath her as she swiftly closed the gap between them it was interesting to note in nut's eyes that those of the namame line were always fast and half wondered if it was some sort of minor bloodline ability he would have to examine that theory in the future however now was not the time for such thoughts though for as Reena neared so too did her canai the blade be lining for his heart continuing to smirk Naruto swept an arm forward in a small upward jab knocking her wrist away with his own as he forced the trajectory of the canai way off Target when her eyes traveled up to follow the path of her weapon Naruto struck his fist rocketing forward and nailing Reena lightly in the chest launching her backwards Reena knew she had messed up by not keeping her guard up and scowling in display pleasure at her mistake skitted lightly on her heels as she slowed her backward plunge until finally she stopped herself my minina it almost looked like you were trying to kill me there but I know you wouldn't do that to your big brother now would you you were the one that told us to come at you with the intent to kill I was only following your orders Nissan Reena smirked at the man and once again prepared herself knowing that she was outclass in hand-to-hand combat due to Naruto's speed agility and vast experience in actual combat Reena knew not to get in close with him for the time being if she wished to actually get a bell instead she looked about and noticing a nearby river flowing by the field instantly darted for it narut simply watched her while she moved and casually walked behind her wondering what she might be up to Once near the water Reena jumped forward Landing lightly on the surface of the slowly moving body of water she waited there her mind calculating and trying to figure out the best possible strategy to take in this situation thinking of something she watched as naru stopped his movement 10 ft from the edge of the water eyes wary of what she might be trying to do it was then that Reena started flashing through hand signs at a speed that was way more advanced than an Academy student should be able to go flicking from one sign to the next Reena finished her technique off by performing a half Ram seal crying out Sweden maera water release violent water wave and inhaling deeply Reena exhaled a large torrent of water aiming the move directly at Naruto Naruto easily dodged the attack jumping to the side but then was soon put upon by 10 water clones of Reena all surrounding him before they began to aim kicks and punches at him grinning Naruto easily handled the Clones his fists and legs flying as he moved from one to the next water spraying out after each water clone dissipated to nothing it was while standing there and waiting for the next attack that Naruto felt the sudden tightening of his ankles looking down he saw that a chain of water had suddenly appeared out of the ground and was quickly in Ling his ankles to bind them together grinning at the trick Naruto applied a bit of chakra to his legs and drawing them apart easily broke the JSU holding him nice trick trying to use the sari no Jutsu water chains technique however 'll point out that it only works with those that are weak enough for it to hold most people want be held for long so keep that in mind Reena Reena who was close to the bank at this point grimaced at the failure of her sneak attack but nodded accordingly to the advice given then she smiled smiled as she stared over at Naruto hey Nissan I think you forgot something and pray tell what did I forget just the water that'ss around you suddenly Reena exploded apart in a burst of water and Naruto wheeled around cursing himself for failing to realize he had been talking to a simple water clone all along it was too late for him to act though for as soon as he spun around he heard the Cry of Sweden shokushu Ren and korin tentacle barrage furry and out of the water puddles encircling him him Rose eight long tentacles comprised completely out of water each seemingly had a mind of its own and this benefited Reena greatly not having to control any of them snapping forward from all sides at timed intervals Naruto growled as he felt two of the whip like appendages hit him in the back while he had been focused on the initial six in front feeling the water cut into him thinking fast Naruto spun about at a speed that he wouldn't normally have used in this kind of setting whipping his hands back and forth his open Palms slicing through through the tentacles having each one by one at an astonishing rate until finally none survived Reena who had been carefully sneaking her way up to the spot just behind Naruto under the cover of her attack reached out and tried to grab at one of the swinging Bells at his hip at the sudden departure of her attack around them though Reena froze for a split second but that was all the time Naruto needed flicking his hand down he grabbed at rina's R wrist and drawing her up flung her from him watching as she skitted across the grassy field a few feet away nice use of water Reena but you might want to reconsider your strategy you w be able to get a bell like that Naruto informed the girl keeping his face dead serious to show her that he wasn't teasing but was being strictly truthful Reena frowned at that and then standing she turned about and ran back into the woods her mind coming up with a new strategy on the move one that would hopefully work out Naruto cracked his neck as he watched her go flexing his body so that he could feel the small Cuts lacing his back those those damn things hurt he thought bitterly to himself before turning about and heading back to his log before he could even reach it though he was yet again attacked This Time by the black-haired sake sake came in low His Hands On The Ground as he spun about upside down legs kicking out towards the lower half of Naruto's body Naruto easily dodged the kick to the back of his legs by jumping into the air performing an acrobatic twist he landed gently one hand on the ground while remaining in a crouched position Rising he sced scratched at the back of his head and sighed heavily am I ever going to get a break you all attacking one after the next is sort of annoying you do realize SAS scowled at the man and without answering charged again his right foot coming up to which was smoothly blocked by the side of Naruto's left arm drawing his leg up SAS performed a tight flip in midair and going with the move punched out with his left fist nearly hitting Naruto's Square in the jaw before being caught with an open Palm still not giving up and using the strength of Naruto's grip on his fist SAS cleanly lashed out with his last remaining foot and when that too was blocked made for the bells dangling at Naruto's side with his free hand taking note of this narut easily pushed outwards while drawing himself back removing himself from the situation SAS only getting a touch of one of the Bells for his efforts and nothing more my my you almost got one there you're not half bad for an Academy student that is drawled out Naruto I am not like the others I am far stronger the ever Superior SAS shouted towards Naruto before he jumped back flying through a long sequence of hand seals finishing he yelled out Caden gokaku no Jutsu Fire release great Fireball technique and inhaling deeply spit out a stream of fire that engulfed the area in front of him Naruto included the power behind the attack leveling a small crater in the ground SAS smirked at the result of his attack but that expression quickly dropped as he realized there was no body in the crater quickly turning this way and that he began to wonder where is he left right up no it was when SAS felt hands grasping at his ankles that he knew he hadn't thought of everywhere to look and before he could make up for his error his body was soon being rapidly yanked down into the ground leaving his head sticking out in order to allow him to breath narut slowly seemed to grow out of the ground and smirking down at sake crouched and flicked him on the forehead doden Shinju zanu no Jutsu suicidal beheading always keep aware of your surroundings and expect the unexpected SAS you'll die if you don't never wait to see if your attack actually hit but move and strike out as though it hadn't waiting too long leaves you vulnerable to a Counterattack by your opponent oh and I want go into too much detail but don't underestimate your teammates arrogance and thinking yourself Superior to those around you want get you far in life you still have to kill Itachi right and with a smug grin Naruto moved away from the nearly buried boy disappearing into the trees XXX it was this that Reena walked into as she was searching for her other teammates grinning down at the trapped boy she raised an eyebrow for his predicament before bursting out into a fit of Giggles you seem a little trapped SAS need a little help SAS growled at the comment but had to concede that he was in fact trapped and would need help in getting out get me out of here already I need to get payback for what that jerk did to me Reena sighed and using her sweeten abilities turned the ground around SAS into mud reaching down she managed to find one of the boys hands under all the heavy mud and heaving Reena began to drag sake out of the pit and onto dry land after a while sake Rose from the ground and grimacing began to try in vain to get some of the mud off his clothing watching all of this and seeing the sheer stubbornness of the boy Reena sighed yet again and tried to explain the situation as best as she could SAS I don't know if you've realized this yet but we can't win against my brother he's an s-rank Ninja for crying out loud and that rank isn't handed out to just anyone you know how are jenin supposed to beat him and get the bells that's just impossible I think that's the point he's trying to get across to us and here Reena paused to let the words sink in before continuing on if we go at him separately we won't be able to win however if we go at him together we might have a really small shot at getting the Bells I am not saying it will easy but it's possible we only have maybe 20 minutes left before the timer goes off and we need to hurry SAS clearly saw the reasoning behind rina's theory on the test and even though he didn't want to decided the best way to get one step closer to Itachi would be getting through this test fine how do we do this we first have to find Shino he's essential to his plan SAS nodded and following after Reena the pair hurriedly made their way through the forest in search of their lost companion XXX Naruto yawned mightily as he sat back against the log his body is relaxed as can be and he wondered if they had somehow figured out what this entire test was about he sure hoped so this team would be fabulous if he could get the Kinks out of course during all of this musing Naruto easily sensed the three behind some of the trees bordering the edge of the field they were good at hiding true but in the presence of someone like Naruto they just weren't good enough he knew they knew they only had less than 5 minutes left and they would have to hurry this up if they even wanted a shot at getting the bells knowing that something was to come narut yawned one last time and rising from seat stood to his full height scanning the trees Naruto suddenly heard a buzzing beneath his feet looking down he could see countless bugs beginning to dig their way out of the dirt and every time one did it would instantly spring a loft into the air and start attacking nark skin narut growled at this swatting at the bugs and trying not to harm them as much as possible during all of this little did he know that with the use of the bugs Shino was essentially jamming Naruto's sensory abilities judging it was time Shino communicated with his Beatles that then communicated with each of their kin on the arms of shino's teammates through the release of chemicals taking the signal both moved in quickly sprinting across the field towards the figure of Naruto swatting and beating at the air to get the bugs away looking towards one another they both nodded before Arena flashed through various seals and yet hel out Sweden mazapa violent water wave sending a torrent of water in the direction of the ground beneath Naruto's feet a moment later sake used a fireball and firing it at the same place the two jutsus collided sending a cloud of steam High into the air Naruto instantly stopped his frantic beating of the air and was on guard the moment he saw the two jutsus being launched in his Direction when he had been expecting both attacks to aim for him he had not expected them to be aimed to collide near him and was initially blinded by the hot steam gushing out in all directions he heard the sudden whizzing of Kai as they passed through the steam coming at him in All haste ducking beneath where he expected the canai to be level wise he was glad that he had as they flew right above and narrowly missed him another Salvo of missiles came straight at him next this time from above and rolling away and out of the cloud of steam narut looked around what he saw startled him standing there in front of him were all three of his jenin just staring at him in a group Reena beaming SAS smirking and Shino looking as collected as ever but if one was to look carefully they would see an Ever So slight curve out of the corner of his lips blinking in confusion he reached down to his side and feeling the absence of the Bells there he gave the group a questioning look at this a cloud of insects came out of the steam descended upon shino's hand and parted revealing the pair of Silver Bells Naruto knew instantly what they had done they made me believe that the bugs were just an annoyance and a distraction convincing me to focus on the two jutsus being thrown at me with the Steam and my focus on high for any incoming attacks I never noticed the bugs chewing at the Bell strings and flying away with them these kids are good so looks like you got the bells who gets one narut questioned hoping that coming so far they wouldn't make a big mistake Shino stared down at the bells before simply handing one to either of his teammates the entire point of this test was to try and separate us so that we would focus on getting a bell individually this was not possible due to your reputation in order to retrieve the bells we needed to work together as a team to achieve that end goal so to complete this test I will hand over these bells while still running the risk of being sent back to the academy Reena grinned at Shino before tossing her Bell at him to which he in turn caught there we each manage to get a bell everyone wins narut chuckled at his sister's Antics before nodding his head that you do that you do I am impressed and that's saying something I guess I should say that you all passed but I think you already figured that one out all right then I will now officially say that from now on we are now known as team seven and will be going on missions together as a team Reena cheered while the other two stood there looking highly pleased with themselves Naruto smiled at this wondering how far this team would go coughing to gain their attention and thinking their food might be a bit cold at this point Naruto simply asked all right who wants some Ramen a single figure crouched low in the underbrush keeping her body completely still lest her Target realize her location reaching up with a single hand and trying her best not to make a sound the girl continued to stare at her Target whilst pressing the side of her headset to speak with a low Whisper of a voice this is Foxy arrived at Point a she did not have to wait long for another voice to be heard the voice level and monotone is always this is Beetle I have arrived at point B what about you Duck Butt what's your position asked a much deeper male voice over the headset this particular man was currently sitting back up against a tree in the nearby area completely at ease as he managed his team's Affairs on their latest Mission this is Duck Butt Eagle I have arrived at Point C and I'm ready for the signal to attack there was a very recognizable giggle heard over the headsets which only contributed to duck butt's ever growing tick mark of annoyance bet you regret letting me come up with the code names now eh Duck Butt quiet foxy all three of you are in position and ready to move on to the next step on my count you strike the man didn't even wait for a reply and simply went on to say 3 2 1 go there was a rustle of leaves the throwing of canai attached to a large net followed quickly by the high-pitched meow coming from the Target now trapped beneath the throne netting standing on either sides of the net with pleased Expressions adorning their faces were none other than Reena Shino and SAS they had been at this mission for the last few hours in their prey the ever Infamous Tor of the cat had managed to slip out of their grasps each and every time up until now now the cat huddled meekly beneath the net holding her in place glancing from one of her captors to the next with narrow eyes Naruto having heard the happy sounds of his three young jenin casually walked out of the tree line and towards the group very good team it wasn't the best Mission I've seen with Torah but it wasn't the worst now all we have to do is deliver her to the client without another Escape Reena it'll let you sit this one out carrying the package since the cat doesn't seem to like you very much Reena scowled at this and reaching up gingerly touched the scratches she had received over the duration of this Mission it was true this cat and many others alike never seemed to like her and lashed out violently when she got too close to them Naruto and she could only surmise as to why they reacted so viciously on the fact that she held the greatest and most feared demon in all of existence stored within her belly a presence all the animals seemed to sense and fear so of course animals would be afraid and hate her and unfortunately Ely for Reena sometimes the experiences like this one were quite painful sometimes they were quite comical to those around her such as when Reena was dragged around for a straight 5 minutes by three massive dogs she had been handling at the inuzuka compound carefully pulling back the net so that only one possible Escape Route was clear for the cat Shino slowly reached in and wrapped his arms around the feline pulling her out carefully secretly placing a few of his bugs onto her to sap away her strength Shino turned to the rest of team and nodded his head to signal he was ready to go upon seeing the display of Readiness all turned and began heading west towards the village the three younglings wishing to finally end this cruel and hot day before they dropped dead on their feet the effort they had had to exert that day for a simple cat was astounding and all three just wanted to finish up the mission and finally get some well-deserved rest this was not to be however for the poor pre-teen jenin just as they were about to actually enter the village through the open main gates they all heard rud's voice bidding them to stop when they did looking back over their shoulders at him they instinctually shivered at what they saw if it had been anyone else the three would have questioned why they were receiving a somewhat malicious smile from their Sensei however since having been a team for the last few weeks the team had come to associate that Wicked grin as Naruto with an evil and horrible idea horrible for the kids anyways all right team we have to deliver the delivery to the Mission hall that is your destination but to make this Mission even more fun I want you all to do something for me at the confused looks he was receiving Naruto chuckled eily and went on until you step into the mission room you are not to walk upright in between here and there you will use the tree walking technique we've gone over to walk sideways on walls upside down and anyway else you can think up without walking upright this will increase your chakra capacity while at the same time raising the level of chakra control you now possess if you should fall and land on the ground all three of you will return here and start the process all over again flashback it had been a few days since the team had officially become jenin and during that time they had wondered why they had ever wanted to gain the rank unlike the Grand and dangerous missions they had envisioned taking now that they were ninja walking dogs babysitting and collecting groceries for civilians were definitely the farthest from what they had thought they'd be doing when they weren't doing the pitiful and aggravating d rank missions they were going through teamwork exercises in order to work on their cooperation and teamwork between the three and their sens say Naruto was very insistent on correct formations and following orders but also felt that occasionally interfering with those battle strategies in unusual ways would increase the reaction time and strategic thinking within the minds of his jenin this is how he had ran his more advanced teams and until the final mission with ranks higher than jenin hadn't returned to the village with more than mere scratches due to the capability of the team under him and how he taught them to perform it was here along the edge of training Ground Three that team seven stood waiting for their sensei he had a habit of appearing at the specific time indicated but never knowing if he would keep to that schedule they all always arrived early right as 7A M hit there was a bright flash and out of the light emerged narut a smile set on his lips as he gazed down at his team well good morning my little kitties how was your night hope you got a lot of sleep because I think you going to need it today SAS glanced up at the blonde man and asked what they were all thinking what do you mean Nar chuckled before shifting to the left and walking purposely towards the nearest tree to him upon reaching it he placed his right hand onto the bark and began to speak we want be doing any missions today today we'll only be training with a technique that will greatly benefit you as ninjas this technique is beneficial for its effects on our chakra capacities and how well we control that chakra with an increase of control Ninja lias can use more jutsus by applying the bare minimum a Jutsu requires to be activated this technique is called the tree walking exercise she and SAS gave their Sensei a questioning look both showing dubious expressions in what they were hearing how could climbing trees do all that as if reading their minds Naruto chuckled and shook his head I can see your doubts in what I just told you I don't mean climbing trees with your hands for this exercise one uses his or her interrupted Reena indignantly Naruto blinked at his sister for a moment and then sighed exasperatedly before going on uses his or her and here he gave his sister an annoyed look feet to climb let me demonstrate turning his back to them while staring up at the tree narut raised his leg and placed a flat foot onto the bark looking back at his three students he grinned and then raising his other leg placed his second foot onto the tree as well now standing completely horizontal to the ground beneath him not stopping there narut proceeded up the tree as though he were walking on land climbing until he had reached a large enough Branch to support his weight and hang upside down with staring down at them from his perch Nar reached back into his back pouch and removed three regular Kai flicking them down at the trio right before their feet letting the level of chakra lessen in his Souls Naruto dropped and flipping in midair neatly landed on his feet all right then your turn the key to this exercise is to focus chakra in your feet and control the amount needed I will give you all a hint too much in your feet and you'll destroy the bark under you and be exploded back to little chakra and nothing will happen now get to it with that three heads nod and picking up a canai each turned to the trees and focused hard once they thought they might have the necessary chakra all three exploded forward and charging up their respective trees placed one foot after another the result of each attempt was vastly different for the trio with Shino managing five steps SAS 3 and Reena surprisingly just running all the way up before landing on the same Branch her brother had and sitting down smiling cheekily at the boys far below her what the hell how did you do that saus yelled at her not having expected her to do the exercise in one attempt especially since all he saw her as was the dead last loser oh I guess I was just lucky and getting up from her seat Reena casually walked down the side of the tree slowly as if to emphasize her Proficiency in the exercise upon touching down she smiled at her brother before walking over to him very good Reena it seems you remember how to tree walk since you've reviewed that exercise I want you to go review the water walking variation if you've reviewed that enough please run around the field at full speed until you can't anymore in order to increase your endurance and speed turning to the other two Naruto smiled please keep this up until you get it it'll be back to watch over you once I have a word with my sister carry on and with that left them with Reena accompanying him SAS was Furious as he gazed at both their backs trying to figure how she had done it so fast then when he remembered that narut had said about reviewing the exercise SAS became even more infuriated how did Adobe that had been last in their class for so many years do something SAS couldn't it just wasn't possible turning back to his tree anger filling his body SAS launched himself forward and began the exercise a new achieving two steps this time which made his mood worse Naruto walked with Reena to the river there Reena turned to her older brother before scowling was it really important I do that in front of them you know how s will get I know but in the long run this will be better for him SAS needs a rival in his life life he needs someone to try and strive to reach I want this person to be Urena SAS sees you as someone that's been at the bottom and way below him but from what he just saw hell strive to become better all the more how could he lose to the dead last eh Reena chuckled and nodded all right I trust you Nissan but don't do it too often sure now get to your exercises I want to see you sweat grinning at her he watched her off before proceeding back to the two boys as Naruto approached he saw Shino climbing up roughly half the tree before exploding backwards for sake he was still only going up two steps before being thrust away from the trees side sighing Naruto raised his hand for them to stop both of you were using way too much chakra needed for this exercise strive for that bare minimum and grow accustomed to using that exact amount of chakra every time Shino you're getting there and just need a bit more work you don't have as much chakra as SAS here because a lot of it is going to tending to your bugs within your body that is a common occurrence within your clan and I will try rectifying it by increasing your capacity while under me Naruto then began to address the other boy SAS like sheo you using more chakra than needed I can also tell that you're mad about Reena doing what you cannot am I correct let me tell you she is more than what you think and Naruto went into lecture mode one of the keys to this exercise is not only on the amount of chakra used but also staying clam anger will only hinder you here you must control control your emotions in not only this but as a Shinobi in general there are times where emotions are needed and there are times where they are not do not let anger resentment or any other negative emotion control you that is my warning to you SAS now calm down and Focus S growled at this his eyes shifting from Naruto back to the tree in front of him while he didn't want to admit it his Sensei was right and if that was the way to get this exercise down SAS would do it closing his eyes he breathed in holding the breath for a few seconds before finally letting it out he repeated this over and over until he felt he was at an acceptable level of calmness flicking his eyes open he stared at the tree and focusing his chakra in the soles of his feet ran towards the tree and placing one foot after another onto the bark managed five steps his time before being launched back landing on the ground on all fours SAS grinned at his slight achievement before trying again this time achieving six steps after each successive attempt s slashed at the tree bark with his Kai placing a cut where he last been before flipping back to the ground very good SAS I am proud of you now keep it up until you get it down I have faith you can do it remember what I said narut would never know how much of an effect his words had had on the SAS from that show of faith in Naruto expressing his pride in the boy SAS was given everything he had wished from his own father in whom had never given what he had desired swelling with determination s made sure to prove himself in nut's eyes and returning back to his tree began the exercise a new and with more effort than ever always remembering to remain clam through it all XXX back to the present all three of the jenin looked horrified at the addition to their mission which had been hard enough trying to catch this damn cat now they had to keep possession of said cat and used chakra the entire way from the gate to the Hokage Tower and within damn evil Sensei and his horrible ideas your evil Nissan Reena said guess ing how tiring this would be due to her High chakra capacity even with her skills in Chakra control she could only control it so much to hold something that massive like her chakra at Bay was taxing and she would get tired from this exercise not from Chakra expenditure but at the sheer effort of controlling it all I didn't say you could talk now get to it Naruto commanded yet there was still that malicious smirk set on his lips as he gazed at the three genen before him grumbling they nodded their heads before looking around for a place to start see the side of the wall all three of them proceeded to stepping up to it after a moment of becoming horizontal Shino tightly holding onto the feline who was surprisingly remaining docel they began to make their way along the inner wall and towards the nearest crop of reachable structures Naruto watched them go and was about to move on towards the Hokage Tower when he was stopped by two voices you really are evil Naruto Sama said ketsu who had been with gate guards for the village for what seemed like an eternity the man has long spiky black hair and a strip of bandage running across the bridge of his nose yeah they're going to hate you after this Naruto s said the partner and best friend of ketsu Azuma wore a blue cap with the leaf hot eyes sewed into the fabric and only one eye could be seen due to the other being covered up with a Long Bang of hair I may be harsh and they hate me after this but they'll thank me eventually now don't you too have a gate to be guarding I see a couple traveler coming up The Path hi Naruto Sama and with that they prepared for the latest batch of Travelers incoming turning on his heels narut simply left them and began his walk to the Hokage Tower where he would be awaiting the arrival of his team XXX the team was making good progress they had managed to find a building close enough to jump to from the wall although jumping sideways was slightly awkward at first since they didn't practice in it from there they had traveled along the sides of various stalls restaurants and other structures all the while receiving glances from everyone that saw them and a few glares from that saw the demon Brad the team was so focused on what they were doing that they never noticed any of the stairs they were receiving it was at one point approaching the Hokage tower that the team came to a sudden impass reaching the end of one building they saw the space in between them and the wall surrounding the Hokage Tower and knew that they wouldn't be able to cross that span of open air damn it we can't get across this way we're going to have to double back cursed sake as he tried to formulate the quickest route to take it appears so we might want to hurry as well only a third of my chakra levels remain I do not know how long I will be able to keep this up as well as hold onto the feline Reena was fairing no better than her teammates while not low on chakra her focus on controlling it was slowly slipping and soon she wouldn't be able to maintain the amount of chakra she was putting out we should go back to that noodle shop it would be the shortest way possible at this point Reena said examining the situation in front of them surprisingly SAS didn't refute the idea a agreed let's hurry they turned around and began making their way back to the shop once there they jumped to the building opposite it and proceeding along jumped and turned moving through the many streets of the village while remaining horizontal once they had reached their designated Target the structure closest to the tower's wall they jumped from it to a tree and then from there to the wall it was here that Reena momentarily lost control of her chakra landing on the side of the wall Reena stumbled and began to fall it was the sudden grip on her that stopped the impending outcome of her sudden loss of control blinking away her surprise and letting her gaze drift up from the hand holding on to her she found the face of SAS staring down at her come on Reena now is not the time to be Adobe get up SAS cried out at her through gritted teeth of exertion startling her from her days long enough for her to swing with sas's arm and plant her feet back onto the wall nodding her head Reena simply said thanks before they all started once again towards the hok Tower after managing their way inside of the wall they managed to jump from it to the actual hok Tower before they met their second impass the normal Tower guards stood between them and the main entrance of the building and were blocking both sides of the door grumbling at this the three stopped at almost level to the pair and it was Reena who asked you're not going to move are you receiving two smirks in answer Reena side and turned to her companions looks like we're going to have to go over them growling at the pair hindering their progress and adding to their stress the team moved so that they were standing above the doorway and facing towards the ground for them this next step would be crucial for unlike the other obstacles this one the extended ledge over the main entrance required the ninja to have to maneuver accordingly with their chakra output or fall to the ground below looking from one to the other SAS went first moving until he stopped just short of the door's ledge bracing himself knowing this could be risky he released his feet from their hold on the wall immediately his body began to fall his body moving to the more comfortable head first fall and it was there that sake once again activated chakra to his feet linking him onto the top of the door frame breathing sharply is one wrong move could have cost him SAS craned his neck to look up at his teammates to signal for the next person to move after the two had succeeded in the same movement thankfully with no errors they began to make their way along the hallway ceiling within the trio was beginning to breath harshly from the exertion they were going through the two boys were very low on chakra and feeling slightly dizzy from forcing their remaining chakra into their feet Reena was losing focus more and more her feet releasing their hold for a split second before she resumed the hold after recognizing her error like this struggling to keep up their efforts did the three finally make it to the mission Hall Once crossing the threshold their legs wobbling and their faces showing the strain they just fell without a care in the world falling onto their backs where they lay panting for breath it was the Clapping that w Ed the three from their stuper groaning and still breathing rapidly they arched their necks up and grimacing from the effort they saw their Sensei there with a happy grin on his face behind him Sat an amused Hokage with pipe in hand very good guys I am very proud that you guys managed that I bet you all hate me now don't y'all from the dirty looks he was receiving he knew that his statement was true and just continued on congrats on getting here though now all you have to deliver your package to finish the mission everyone up for for a moment Naruto thought they might resist but slowly they Rose their forms first moving to their hands and knees and then unsteadily raising themselves up in a bent over fashion the Hokage thought that maybe he should intervene but the look Naruto gave him stopped the old man from assisting the three sweat beating from their forehead their bodies shaking violently all three moved forward and after a few moments stood before the hokage's desk lady shajim would you please enter asked the Hokage to the nearby open door not even a split second after he had asked for her presence the portly woman was rushing through the doorway making an obvious beine for Shino holding her pet immediately taking her from his arms she deaf gripped the cat to her bosom moving this way and that as she hugged her precious Torah on the look of torah's face even team seven who had cursed and spat out her name was showing signs of Sympathy for the poor animal forced to undergo such harsh torture at the hands of her owner I don't blame her for running away Ryan thought to herself oh thank you Hoka Sama children I am so glad to have my little Torah Chan back she gives me a heart attack every time she does this to her poor Mommy lady shijimi exclaimed while upping her frantic death hugs I will make sure the money comes in within the week as always my dear Hokage after the wife of the fire Dao had left narut turned to his team and saw them once more on the ground seemingly unconscious from the effort they had given that day H seems we won't be doing anything more today guess I better take them home we'll be back tomorrow for another mission GG don't worry about it they did Fabulous today especially with that exercise you put them through it was here herzen gained a smirk not unlike Naruto had given his team a few hours ago maybe we should make this a requirement for that particular Mission oh I like how you think Gigi and they wonder where I get it huh said narut before he produced two Shadow clones and picked all three children up see yah Gigi and with narut and his team were gone leaving the hokages smiling at his surrogate grandson's Antics XXX the Naruto clone walked through the streets of konaha carrying the unconscious form of SAS within his arms giving his greetings to the many he knew Naruto made his way over to the almost deserted ucha complex to drop off his young charge moving through the deserted dirt paths Naruto looked about and observed the slow but noticeable decay of the area paint was chipping windows were shattered where the local kids decided to invade the usually off limits area there were even a few spots here and there where dried blood cake the ground or occasional signpost indicating where an Uchiha had fallen at the hands of Uchiha Itachi the whole area was a ghost town and Naruto once again wondered why sasak and his mother stayed in the Eerie place I suppose they want to remember what it was like before the massacre narut pointed out to himself as he rounded a corner and made his way to the more familyfriendly area of the complex when at last he had found sas's house he was treed with the sight of UI Makoto who had been like an aunt to Naruto and Reena since the death of their parents working on the garden outside her home when calling out to her he watched as she turned questioning eyes to the visitor and a happy smile immediately graced her lips when she saw who it was that smile diminished slightly when she saw her son unconscious in Naruto's arms oh hello Naruto Chan I hope you didn't hurt him too much today Makoto said waving her small shovel at him figting anger on her son's behalf no no they were just doing the Torah mission and some Advanced tree walking exercises is all nothing too harsh and do you have to call me Chan I am not a kid anymore you know Makoto smirked and merely took SAS from Naruto you'll always be little to me Naruto Chan Uchiha Makoto was a beautiful woman even among the standards of kunoichi she had black eyes and with matching hair as like all luchias even in her 30s her figure was that of a woman in her early 20s which did not go unnoticed by the male population of konaha trying out their luck on the now single mother of course she denied all attempts on her kindly enough if a man was too stubborn to stop bothering her though they were instantly reminded of who they were talking to the fire goddess of konaha let's just say the man would never be able to sit down correctly for a month after the experience Nar scowled at the woman an expression that did not go unnoticed by Makoto who answered with a small laugh as she guided Naruto into her home whilst carrying sake to his room room after reassuring herself that he was all right she proceeded back out into the kitchen where Nar sat looking around I haven't been here in ages narut pointed out as he swiveled his head to stare at his atie figure well maybe you should stop by more often than Naruto Chan perhaps but I am usually busy with my team or my other duties so it's hard to find time to visit narut said with a frown oh yes I should feel quite honored that the great Naruto Sama has gifted me with his presence teased Makoto as she poured a glass of water for the young man yeah yeah whatever anyways I am here for three reasons one to bring back SAS two to visit my amazing Aunt Makoto three so that we can possibly discuss SAS and what would you like to discuss about SAS questioned Makoto although she had an inkling of what narut might be referring to his wanting to avenge his clan and kill Itachi it's not helping him at all and it's hurting the teamwork I am trying to instill on my team Naruto sighed and saw down at the kitchen counter he's just so caught up on proving himself Superior and the very best that he sometimes completely ignores formations and just goes all in himself it could lead to not only the death of himself but also his teammates and I can't have that as both a human being nor a Shinobi of the leaf Makoto sighed and leaned her back up against the counter thinking hard I know it's gotten even worse lately I don't know why and I can't seem to do anything about it ah that might have been my fault you see when I first introduced the tree walking exercise to them Reena sort of did it in one go and that really got sake pissed off I wanted him to have a rival true but I wanted the Rivalry to be more good-natured now I feel like SAS will never stop because of that inferiority complex he has and at this Naruto looked down to the glass of water in his hands a frown finding his lips I know it will be hard to fix sake but if anyone can do it it's you narut the only people SAS has ever looked up to her his brother and you ever since he was born no one else has really been able to crack that shell of his which has gotten worse ever since the that night here Makoto hesitated as if reliving that night in her mind Nar knew not to crowd her in this case for she needed to make peace with what happened without feeling pressured he also knew that she needed a comforting presence in reaching out he gently clasped one of her hands and smiled up at her don't worry he'll try my best with SAS I think Reena might help with that too well get through that shell of his eventually have no fear it's best not to force this all at once and just take it slowly Makoto nodded and gripping Naruto's hand a bit harder for just a moment released it and smiled at the blonde thank you Naruto that would mean the world if you could help it also helps to know that he is being watched over by a strong Shinobi like you of course it'll make sure nothing bad happens to him that's a promise nodding Makoto hugged Naruto as he stood up and offered him one last kind smile with a single wave of his hand and a message for SAS to meet his team at the Mission hall he disappeared in a burst of smoke and was gone leaving behind a reassured Makoto and a slumbering sake XXX the next day good morning squirt shouted away too energetic Naruto right into the ear of the barely conscious Reena it was the day right after the torous Torah Mission and to say Reena was tired both physically and mentally would be an understatement struggling to return to sleep burying her head under her pillow and trying to block out her brother voice she felt as though she had achieved everything she needed to go back to Blissful sleep this all changed when the side of her bed was suddenly tugged up and her body rolled onto the ground crying out her body tangled up in her blanket Reena struggled to escape her soft prison and managing to do so with only her head escaping out of the bundle she glared angrily up at the grinning Naruto your evil KN San go to hell she shouted at him and only received a smirk in return oh hush it's already noon you should thank me for letting you sleep in so late Reena blinked at this her head turning to gaze out her window and indeed saw that it was very bright outside blushing in embarrassment she still didn't want to admit her mistake and scowled back at her brother well you should NT have tortured us yesterday this is your fault him I guess if you put it it that way you right guess I need to treat you to lunch then to apologize eh Naruto said rubbing at his chin in thought Reena instantly stopped scowling and jumped up grabbing up her clothes she scuttled past Nar and into her bathroom yelling back I want Ramen before slamming the door behind her Nar chuckled at his sister's Antics and made his way to the living room to wait he didn't have long to for as soon as he was about to sit down Reena came bursting into the room and grabbing at his hand yanked him towards the door and out of the house barely giving him time to lock up behind them he was then tugged for the next 5 minutes as the two made their way to the nearest Ramen Place ichiraku Ramen smiling brightly at the Prospect of her favorite ramen in the world Reena rushed into the shop and immediately began to yell out Tui San can I please have bowls of miso chicken and pork Ramen please Tui looking a bit grayer with the addition of over 12 years added on nodded from behind the counter whilst giving a jovial smile to both Reena and Naruto of course you can I have to satisfy my number one customer don't I Reena grinned at this before sitting down alongside her brother on one of the stools lining the C her after Tui had taken nutk order of the same and went to work Reena turned towards her brother and asked so Nissan what are we doing today him well I suppose we might do another mission today Reena groaned and hung her head again these missions are so lame Nissan Naruto chuckled well that's true but it helps with teamwork so we're going to keep doing them it was here that Tui handed them their first bowls of ramen rina's sour Expressions instantly changed to one of Glee as she bore witness to the steaming bowl of ramen her mouth began to water short of drooling from the aroma reaching her nose glancing up at the old man making the next batch of ramen she gave him a radiant smile thank you Tui s and keep him coming with that she reached for a pair of Chopsticks and uttering a soft itad aimos she separated the sticks and began to dig in all but pigging out on the delicious meal before her unlike the ramen obsessed fanatic Nar had come to learn over the years to eat slow slowly and savor every bite he took although his appetite and love for ramen had not waned in the slightest reaching for his own Chopsticks Naruto repeated rina's pre-meal blessing before scooping up a wad of noodles both siblings ate in complete silence which was only broken for the occasional remark they made to either one another or Tui when they were both finished and had paid for their meals they gave their goodbyes to Tui and began their walk towards the Mission hall entering the Hokage Tower and moving to the entrance of the hall Nar n and Reena met up with the other two of their team greeting with nods of their heads they all walked in front of Naruto as they proceeded into the room to retrieve their next mission sitting beside the Hokage as he was assisting that day aruka smiled as he saw his ex- students come in serut toi did the same before he raised his gaze to meet that of the ever soft but highly perspicacious eyes of narut taking note of the stare Naruto smiled softly before issuing the customary somewhat obligatory message team seven reporting in for a mission Hokage Sama in that moment serut toi took a moment to look at the team before him he noticed the slightly tired but eager eyes of the pre-teens staring back at him the three looked ready for a mission even though just short of yesterday afternoon they had been near dead overall serut toi was impressed with the resilience of this team yet did not show it in front of them yes it does appear so are you sure they have enough energy after their Escapade yesterday they might be too worn out for a mission even even though they faced another one of the horrid d rank missions team seven stared back at their Hokage with determined and Resolute eyes showing no evidence that they had been half dead the Day prior on this very same floor oh I think it would be unwise to underestimate My Team Naruto cut in with a small smirk adorning his features upon pondering the previous night Naro had concluded that he should reward his team for their Valiant efforts during the Torah missions and had chosen a very specific reward I do suppose you are right they do look very ready for another mission so what will it be this time cutting down some Hedges painting a fence I do have a mission concerning another mission for Torah if you would like that knowing the reaction his team would give concerning that hell spawn of a feline narut put in his own two cents actually I would like to nominate team seven for their first C rank Mission hok Sama from my observations I believe they are quite capable of succeeding in a higher ranked Mission the three jenin instantly swiveled their heads around at that particular statement meeting the glinting and highly amused eyes of their Sensei however they could also see in his gaze that he meant what he had said and slowly turning back to the mission table all of Team seven stared at the Hokage who seemed to be mulling over the request it was the soft but concerned voice from aruka that broke that anticipatory pressure plaguing the room while I do trust your judgment Naruto Sama these are my students here so I have a r to be concerned are you sure they are ready I do not mean to doubt their skills but someone has to broach the subject and all folding his arms over his chest in an unconsciously defensive gesture Naruto focuses his Gaze on aruka one end of his lips raised in a half smile you are quite right in asking aruka San in many cases a team might be too green out of the academy to ask for a mission like this but it is my belief that they are ready for the outside world a simple escort or banded Mission will not put them in so great a danger that I wouldn't be able to step in and assist under my watch there in no danger arukas San it is as their Sensei who has watched these last few weeks that I request this type of mission for I do feel they're ready aruka Drew back at this his slightly concerned face morphing into a somewhat at ease expression as he took in Naruto's words the man was correct in that regard C rank missions weren't overly dangerous and with as rank ninja guarding them they couldn't get too hurt sighing aruka bowed his head forgive me Naruto Sama for doubting I was simply being overprotective of my former students don't worry about it aruka San you had a right to question and I applaud you for standing up for what you believe in I will make sure to keep them safe Naruto kindly returned before shifting his sky blue eyes back to the Hokage serut Toby had been listening intently on the conversation before him and seeing Ruka submitting to nutk words he could only smile chuckling he responded all right I understand if you insist I will allow team seven to take on a c rank Mission Sero glanced through the many Mission requests before him before finally finding one that he thought suited the team here's one this Mission will simply be to es scort a certain person at the surprised Expressions at how he had so easily accepted their sensei's request team seven began to grin from ear to ear it was Reena who asked the simple questions who ill introduce him now raising his voice so as for the mystery client to hear from outside the room serut toi asked can you please come in now we have a team ready for you all of Team seven turned at this and faced the entrance watching as the door slowly opened they blinked as an older man with a bottle of alcohol in hand entered upon entering the man gave the team pre-teens before him an almost calculating once over and simply snorted at what he saw what they're all kids from what team seven could see their latest client was utterly and simply a drunk the man was even so far along so early in the morning that he had to stabilize himself by leaning up against the wooden frame of the door is that little girl even a ninja she looks like she should be playing with her dolls or something questioned the gray-haired man Reena gained a tick mark from that comment but wanting to behave for her first C rank Mission she held back her tongue which she so wanted to let loose at that moment and simply said yes I am a ninja sir I am sorry if you feel I look too young but 'll make sure to keep you safe with the rest of my team narut smiled at his sister knowing exactly how she actually felt but applauded her for holding back that inner demon Reena was so like their mother in many ways and many of the traits from said parent had obviously been bred down into her if her normal behaviors were anything to go by yet she had held back the anger and acted Civ to the client which was what a ninja must do in most cases the old man didn't seem to think much of the mly trio in front of him but Shrugged and taking one last Swig of his drink began his introductions I am the super bridge building expert to Zuna once I have returned to my country I will have all of you protect my life with you while I complete the bridge narut nodded at this before turning to his team I want you all to prepare for a trip that should take about 3 weeks to complete pack all the essentials you have 30 minutes before I expect you at the main gate dismissed with that command all three of his charges walked out of the room to ready themselves for their first ever Mission outside the confines of their Village XXX Reena quickly made her way to the namazi estate pondering in her mind on what to bring the essentials over desired would be key a large amount of clothing not that she really cared about such things would definitely be off the list she would need a possible tent just in case the weather got bad she would also need the various weapons in this process went on for the duration of her trip home and upon entering her room scooped up six storage Scrolls thinking that maybe her other teammates might want to use them as well packing away her supplies into two of the Scrolls but keep the weapons on her just in case Reena quickly departed knowing she didn't have a lot of time left arriving at the main gate she saw both Shino and sake standing just outside the entrance and moving towards the pair gave each a warm smile noticing her approach SAS smirked in her Direction taking note of her lack of a pack and other supplies I know you're Adobe and all but you're going to need at least a few supplies the smile on her lips instantly dropped turning into more of a scowl as she closed the distance between them Crossing her arms over her chest she glared at the boy before reaching into her shirt pockets drawing out the two filled Scrolls and the four unused Scrolls she showed them her own unique traveling packs well I was going to give you some of these but I guess you too good to use these and what are those Reena San queried Shino gazing at the Scrolls curiously they're called storage Scrolls my brother made some for me for things just like this you can put stuff into them and they carry the stuff for you Shino was quite intrigued and even though SAS didn't want to show it he was as well the silence between the three lengthened as they all gazed at one another and it was the Sigh originating from Reena that broke it look I have four empty Scrolls I was already going to give them to you guys so here and tossing two Scrolls a piece watched as both boys grabbed them up receiving thanks from Shino but only hn from SAS Reena only shook her head it was at that moment that their Sensei decided to come into view walking beside the old drunk tuna a you're all here good good means we can leave sooner tazuna here was telling me well be heading to the Land of Waves which should NT take too long if we stick to the main roads taking in his team to see if they were prepared Naruto took note of the Scrolls they held and smiled at the three you've got storage Scrolls I am guessing my sister brought them huh good on you Reena this will make our trip all the more easier without having to Lug around packs Reena blushed slightly in nutk appraisal of her never having been comfortable receiving praise from anyone but still happily accepting it since it was coming from her brother after all thanks Nissan tazuna blinked at this and eyed Naruto you related H interesting hope it doesn't distract you from the mission shaking his head in a firm negative narut turned to the man before speaking not at all don't worry tuna San shifting his gaze back to his team Naruto gave a sweep of his hand towards the road all right team time to go and placing a hand on the backs of both sake and Reena he spun them about and began pushing them away from the main gate and down the road XXX it had been a few short hours since their departure and the group had been steadily marching towards their destination they hadn't spoken much throughout the trip rather just enjoying the scenery and being outside of the village for the first time in their relatively short lives Reena breathed in the sweet fresh air so unlike the slightly oppressing air The Village was filled with out here she felt more alive than ever and with the Curiosity of the new mission getting to her she turned to tazuna and began questioning him about his home country this game of 20 Questions continued for quite some time that is until team seven noticed the puddle of water just sitting there in the middle of the road on a very hot summer day all three of the jenin continued to walk and without turning their heads eyed their Sensei so they noticed that's good thought Naruto before giving his team an imperceptive nod of his head silently telling them to keep going but to stay wary for his part Naro began to Edge back within the group putting himself in position just behind the four as the group passed by the mysterious puddle of water the entire team was not surprised in the slightest when from out of the water came two black forms darting out of the puddle the two figures one launching itself into the air fired a hooked chain towards Nar and showing his surprise at the attack narut felt the chain wrapped tightly about his form the chain tightened ever further as from each end the two figures began tugging hard pulling either end towards him before finally yanking as hard as they could splitting nut's body apart in violent show of blood and gore tuna was Agape at the spectacle fearing for his life from the deadly Duo first one both masked men uttered without even waiting for their victims to ready themselves the two charged forward appearing behind Reena leaning forward they both said second one and prepared themselves for yet another kill unlike their client team seven was ready for the attack known something like this could never never truly kill their Sensei leaping away from her attackers rolling across the ground Reena turned sharply around and threw a lone shuriken towards the swaying chain that had all been said to wrap about her form as well flying through the air one point of the star like weapon managed to find its way into one of the Kinks of the chain launching it out of the two grips holding it and pinned it up against a nearby tree proceeding likewise SAS jumped High into the air removing a canai from his pouch before throwing it towards the chain finding the Shuan hole before burying into the tough wood ultimately trapping the chained weapon from being used for the duration of the fight one of their attackers tried in vain to pull on the Chain attached to his claw failing miserably in removing the chain from its hold it w come out he said to himself before feeling the weight of SAS landing on his own claw as well as his Partners quickly kicking the two in their faces sake shoved the two backwards who for their part quickly separated themselves from the chain after separation they both sprinted in a Wide Circle aiming obviously for the unmoving figure of tazuna Leaping in front of the man Shino raised both hands Palms facing towards the approaching pair and from within his sleeves came gushing out a storm of bugs which quickly intercepted the duo darting back from the attack the two masked men sneered at the boy who just sent wave after wave of his flying insects in their Direction flashing through hand seals the duo threw two separate water jutsus at the Swarm effectively wiping the attack out it was was when they were about to launch their next array of attacks that narut appeared behind them without waiting he aimed the side of his open hand towards the back of one's neck knocking him out with the other he wrapped his arm about his neck slamming him straight into the ground while in the same motion catching his first victim before he hit the ground staring at the two he just dropped the man he was holding allowing him to fall to the ground behind his unconscious partner shaking his head narut sighed while tuna looked seemingly ecstatic at the appearance of the one thought dead Sensei of Team seven Naruto San yelled the older man walking over towards the blonde who for his part was glaring at the man approaching him seeing this tuna stumbled slightly from the angry look he was receiving and gulped W what's wrong keeping his gaze upon the man Naruto asked aloud Shino who would you say our attackers were aiming for in this fight it is my estimation that the two were aiming almost entirely upon tuna San they seemed very intent on killing him nodding Naruto scowled at the man before Crossing his arms over his chest yes I thought as much you see I decided to be killed in battle in order to see who those two were going after was it one of our team they were aiming for or tuna San these two are known as the demon Brothers of the Mist and they are both B rank missing nin my question is why were you being targeted by high-ranking Ninja when you're request for protection was from groups like gangs and robbers not ninja this is a high ranking B missioner above not a simple C rank Mission if ninja are our enemy this Mission has become much dangerous than originally predicted it looks like you have your reasons but it only troubles us if you lie in your request details this was most certainly not a part of the mission parameters now explain team 7even just stared at the man who appeared to be quite serious contrary to his customary drunken and jovial expression they all were wondering whether they should pull back from the current Mission under the circumstances now presented to them but they definitely wanted to hear the reasoning behind lying tuna seemed hesitant to explain the situation but upon the urging of Naruto about definitely pulling back if he didn't the old man began like you said this mission is most likely out of your job description a super and extremely terrible man is after my life this peaked everyone's interest in raising her voice Reena asked a terrible man yes said to Zuna before going on you should have all at least heard of the name goto the three younglings were confused but it was Naruto that had a somewhat stricken look the Marine Transportation billionaire and one of the richest men in the world that got why would a man like him be after you Shino then asked Naruto Sensei who is this go before narut could speak tazuna answered the question while closing his eyes as if to try and convey his emotions in the current situation yes he is the president of a marine Transportation Company on the outside but underground he uses gangs Thugs and ninjas to smuggle drugs and Contraband Goods Contraband like what questioned Reena but had a dreading feeling welling up within her gut Naruto continued to stare at tuna for a long moment before shifting his gaze to his little sister giving her a firm look his lips turning down into an evergrowing scowl that somewhat frightened his team Naruto answered her question children drugs like tuna said weapons slaves women that is what he would be selling if I had to guess re gulped but tuna nodded yes you're exactly right there are many adults and children that have disappeared from our village over the years and I fear the worse Naruto nodded grimly and requested tuna to continue on with his explanation he also does nasty jobs like taking over other companies and countries a year ago he set his eyes on my country and he hasn't left since he used the violence and wealth as a shield to enter and before we knew it he had taken over the island sea traffic and transportation on Island like the Land of Waves controlling the sea means ruling over the wealth politics and people of this island because of this God is able to control out economy and rule over us through that stopping for a moment tazuna took a swig from his bottle his hand shaking slightly out of fear for both the man and what was happening to his country finally drawing the bottle down he then went on as though he had gained his courage from the inhibiting liquor got only fears one thing this is the completion of that bridge that has been under construction for quite some time narut rubbed his chin thoughtfully and as the one building the bridge you became an obstacle to him those ninja were sent by go then am I right tazuna bowed his head yes you are right he sent them to kill me with my death the bridge construction would stop and that would mean the end of our country if this is so bad and he sent ninja after you why didn't you pay for a higher Mission rank with more capable ninja this would be a somewhat more easier task than with a team of jenin to Zuna side you must know that the Land of Waves is a super poor country because of go even the feudal Lord doesn't have much money we had to pull all our money together in order to even afford a c rank fee and that pretty much wiped us all out we had hoped we would get a capable team for this task if you quit your mission now it'll be killed for sure and my country doomed narut began thinking over the mission wondering if he should risk everything even their lives for something like this if he had been alone he would have happily accepted the mission but with three young Jen and to watch over could he risk it it was the following words that clenched it all for both him and his team it is all right if you don't accept only my cute 8-year-old grandson and his mother as well as the rest of our small village will weep it's not your fault after all and I did lie to you guys rubbing the back of his head Nar sighed at the situation before them and looked towards his team with a questioning look they all picked up on this and shifting their gazes back and forth between one another they all turned Resolute eyes towards their their Sensei letun do it n San we have to help them it would be wrong if we turned back now I agree it would be just to do this Naruto Sensei it is a very logical Choice hn very well then I think that settles it we will continue escorting you and continue on with the mission however once you have the funds you will supply the village with payment equivalent to an irank mission is that understood tuna San eyes and mouth widening in shock and happiness tuna immediately began and Nod his affirmation at the condition lowering himself to his knees tears beginning to stream down his face tazuna lowered his face to the team showing his respect witnessing all of this the team was very embarrassment from the showing and rubbing the back of his head Naruto approached the Bowing man and grabbing at the back of his shirt yanked the old man up onto his feet now now none of that it is the job of a Shinobi to carry out a mission and sometimes those missions change and we must adapt now let's go to Zuna San with that the group once again began their Journey towards the Land of Waves not knowing what to expect upon their arrival XXX upon reaching the sandy beach that marked the border between fire country and their destination team 7 and tazuna hitched a ride on a boat to reach Nami no Kuni Land of Waves the driver of the boat had only accepted their request for a ride due to tuna and because there was a heavy fog that would mask their presence that day when they had arrived at the very edge of Wave Country the driver had immediately warned them them to be wary of their surroundings in the country and then left after that from their point on land the entire team could see the bridge clearly without any Mist inhibiting their sight and they were all impressed by the sheer size of the structure it was upon questioning that tuna explained that the bridge was being built to link fire country and his own so that they may trade without relying on GDK ships after offering their praise team seven turned their backs upon the bridge and resumed their Journey from the small fishing Village to tuna's home a little way outside of it a little while after as the group made their way down the beaten path just a mile Thro to zuna's house Reena immediately stiffened sensing something out of place swiftly reaching for a cany from her pack she flung the weapon towards a nearby Bush startling those around her without bothering to answer the obvious question Reena made her way over to the bush drawing it back to reveal she had killed a white furred rabbit At first she berated herself for immediately striking the poor rabbit down for it had done nothing to harm her group however the longer she gazed down at the unmoving form the more she began to grow suspicious here was a creature with fur the color of snow that would have shed it long ago due to it currently being summer to keep that colored fur the rabbit would have had to be kept in a place where it would not have had lighter Predators but then how did it get out here Naruto and the rest of his team were thinking similar thoughts and immediately became on guard for potential attacks that rabbit had to be raised inside somewhere probably for the use of cow me suddenly Naruto's ears picked up the distinctive sound of metal flying through the air and immediately shouting everyone duck used his flash step to rush to tuna's side bringing the man to the ground with a quick flick of his wrists he was almost a second too late for upon saving the man Naruto felt the very tips of his hair seared Away by the huge blade passing over them following the path of the blade narut watched as it clunked into the side of a tree whereupon impact a tall man with dark skin appeared upon the hilt making icon with the motionless figure narut immediately began to curse his luck for having his team here this man was Uzumaki namazi Naruto the yellow wraith of konaha what is someone of your standing doing in a little place like this queried their unknown as salant I should be asking you the same Mochi Zabuza exiled ninja and proclaimed demon of the Hidden Mist everyone stiffened at the moniker but the laugh that followed sent chills running through their veins courtesy of Zabuza Naruto instinctually lowered himself to one knee making sure his sandals were firmly laced I am sorry for this but 'll need you to hand over the Gyer at that sudden Proclamation everything seemed to go dead silent save for the wind that blew through the small clearing narrowing his eyes narut watched the man carefully while raising himself to his full height not looking away from his Target narut then began to address those behind him you'll have to stay out of this this fight is beyond you and I can't risk any of you getting hurt now form the swastika formation and protect tuna San remember what I taught you all teamwork is everything so stay out of this and protect him upon ending his instructions narut reached for his front left pouch removing two of the specially designed Kai and placing one in each hand crouched down with his right foot behind his left and readied himself for the upcoming fight a split second later a veil of mist began to descend upon those assembled growing thicker and thicker over time until most of the area about them was obscured my my I feel honored that I get to fight the great yellow wraith this should be fun although he gave off the appearance of confidence Zabuza with somewhat freaking out inside [ __ ] why is he here I am definitely not being paid enough for this I have to be careful here when I was in the kakur assassination Squad I heard talk of some of your accomplishments and gained information from the Bingo book given to me one of two ever in history to gain the status flee on site and your old man was the other I've heard many tales about you konah has yellow wraith while Naruto and Zabuza had a stare down SAS was staring at nark back with searching and curious eyes he's that feared I knew he was strong but never that strong what is his secret damn it not breaking the eye contact Zabuza crouched down on his Hilt saying letun get the started shall we I don't have all day and I need to kill that gizer right away at this all three jenin rushed into action placing their bodies in between Zabuza and tazuna it seems I must defeat you first in order to kill the gizer let's go with that Zabuza placed one foot upon the trunk of the tree and grabbing the hilt of his blade tore it from the tree sending a few stray pieces of bark flying every which way he then jumped to the nearby small pond landing at top the surface where he began focusing his chakra imbuing the water about him with it uttering a soft Nino kakir no Jutsu ninja art hiding in the Mist technique the Mist about Zabuza began to deepen in intense it and spreading out covered the area swiftly blanketing everything in sight so that no one could see 3 ft in front of them all three Jen and of Team seven stiffened as they saw the dense Mist roll towards and around them wondering what kind of man their opponent was for their Sensei to become warier than they had ever seen they all prepared themselves for the inevitable stepping a few more feet in front of the group Naro began to speak prepare yourselves this man is Mimi Zabuza he was Kiri andu and was especially known for his silent killing techniques stay close to one another and do not drop your guard for one second with that Naruto's figure began to disappear covered up completely by the Mist standing there all exhibiting Trace Amounts of fear they all distinctly heard the cold voice of Zabuza as though he was all around them eight points the larynx spine lungs jugular vein collar bone kidney and heart now which vital organ do you want to get struck at all of Team seven turned this way and that trying to pinpoint where the voice was coming from but just as the Mist The Voice seemed to roll around them making reverse tracking ultimately useless it was here that SAS began to freak out his body shaking from the pure and unearthly killing intent pressing down on him from all sides he just couldn't believe this feeling originated from one man the air was oppressive and SAS began to fear for his life feeling as though he could do nothing in the situation except die because of this feeling his hands wrapped around the hilt of his can preparing to just end his life here and now just to get it over with just to escape the feeling that was slowly squeezing his body it was the timely voice of his Sensei that cut through sas's thinking freeing him from both his suicidal thoughts and fear SAS ill protect the three of you with my life I won't let any of you die here narut redirected his own killing intent which he had put up in order to try and protect his team from the main force of Zabuza own to all directions besides directly behind him looking back over his shoulder he gave his team especially Reena a soft smile this smile instantly shifted down when he saw the sudden appearance of Zabuza smack dab in the middle of his genen group instantly turning around on the balls of his feet he used a flash step to close the distance and punching a canai straight forward slammed the weapon directly into zabuza's stomach everyone thought the blonde had already killed the missing nin that was until they all saw the water leaking forth from the wound inflicted in his abdomen suddenly the figure of Zabuza splashed out of existence indicating it had been a water clone and upon hearing a cry from Reena Naruto turned about to see zabuza's blade aimed directly at his gut Thinking Fast Nar bent his knees propelling himself upwards he swiftly placed both hands on The Swinging blade and twisting in the air made his body perform a quick handstand above the blade just narrowly escaping the sideways cut immediately on the Counterattack Naruto cocked his legs at the knees and twisting about sent a quick kick in the direction of zabuza's face growling at the Miss Zabuza almost didn't see the attack and quickly placing the flat of his blade in front of him to intercept felt the blow hit the metal forcing him back until he skitted to a stop at top the water Zabuza was about to resume his attack upon Naruto until he felt Cold Steel pressing up against the side of his neck and Al low don't move coming from behind him Nar stood behind Zabuza a canai placed against his opponent's throat but knowing this couldn't possibly be all the high A ranked almost s-ranked missing nin had to offer it was the low menacing laugh that followed those two words that promptly told Naruto his guess was accurate you're pretty good as expected from an s-rank Shinobi you're as fast as the rumors say to be able to react that quickly takes a lot and to Counterattack takes a lot more however and here the real figure of Zabuza appeared while the one before narut vanished in a wet explosion you weren't fast enough to see this eyes widening from the small deception Naruto barely had enough time to dodge the fast moving sword ducking beneath the blade just in the nick of time however that was all he had time for in twisting his grip Zabuza managed to kick Naruto away and once again began to charge the blonde yet Zabuza did not make it far before he saw the countless weird canai dotting the ground before him stopping just short of them he immediately redirected his charge to the side and moving about the canai appeared just behind Naruto whose body was bobbing and what to him felt like heavy water yelling out Sweden swo no Jutsu water release water prison technique Zabuza raised his hand and a huge sphere of water began to form about Naruto acting quickly Naruto instantly connected to a seal attached to one of the Min canai he had placed down flashing away while in the same moment thanking Camy that he had learned hiran Zabuza was somewhat startled for he had thought he had definitely trapped Naruto in his water prison technique turning to the figure now standing a few feet away from him Zabuza chuckled at the pure skill of the blonde incredible even faster than I imagined no wonder you are so feared Naruto for his part just stared at the man eyeing him closely knowing his guess at the mons own skill was spoton this man would be a tricky one to beat flashing through a few more hand seals numerous water clones of Zabuza began to rise from the water All Eyes Upon the rag Tad group of jenin guarding his kill I think we should let the kitties play a bit they might have Shinobi headband but until they've gone through numerous life and death situations like we have they can't call themselves ninja Nar knew that the water clones weren't as powerful as one of his shadow clones but due to them containing on10th the overall power of their wielder and with Zabuza being so strong the strength of a single one would be more than enough to match his team narut hoped they could survive and seeking to end this fight as soon as possible launched himself straight at Zabuza Kai flashing forward only to be intercepted by the other Mon's sword and so therefore fight began a new the three jenin of Team s stared at the many figures of Zabuza before them receiving snear in return all the zabas charged towards their victims intent on ending this swiftly and killing the target thinking quickly and wanting to even out the odds a little Reena immediately made four Shadow clones racing forward she and her doppelgangers made contact with the Enemy Kai creating Sparks as they roughly rubbed up against the swords presented to them startled at his teammate's reaction saus just stood there and watched as the female of Team seven battled it out Kai against sword with five of the water clones sent to kill them it was the kick he saw delivered to the real Reena that sent him into action darting forward he intercepted the flying form of his teammate earning a grunt from the effort of stopping her backwards momentum turning her head Reena was surprised at sas's actions but nodding her head in thanks moved forward once again this time with SAS by her side the two seemed to move in Perfect Harmony compliment M menting the others movements with swift actions of their own when Reena ducked beneath a swinging blade sake was there with shuriken in both hands flinging them at the Clone so that it exploded in a shower of water when sake felt his fist caught by another clone Reena appeared behind the man delivering a swift axe kick and dispelling the Clone as well this process went on for a while until finally none of zabuza's clones remained before the panting Duo the original Zabuza having been fighting Naruto stopped suddenly and gave a sidelong look towards the jenin they're not half bad especially that girl say she's not your shut it Naruto ordered and instantly appeared out of thin air beside Zabuza throwing a punch in the general area of the Mon's throat ducking his head beneath the incoming blow Zabuza countered by drawing his left arm up and forcing nut's right arm wide in order to twist his body uncomfortably struck out with his left aiming for Naruto's heart with the pointed tip of his sword seeing his predic narut snapped his left hand out redirecting the blow to just above his shoulder avoiding a hit that could have seriously injured him growling out his challenge with his blue eyes flashing Naro then twisted his left hand around so that his fingers found zabuza's wrist squeezing tendons to Bones he forced Zabuza to relinquish the hold on his blade and punching managed to score a hit against zabuza's sternum effectively launching him backwards not finished Naruto then flash stepped behind the man Kai striking forward to nail the incoming figure right in the spine reacting quickly and knowing how crippling the attack would be Zabuza managed to press his right hand onto the water's edge and using a burst of chakra pushed his body upwards and over the head of Naruto being the faster of the two Naruto scowled and snapping his hand up grabbed at the leather strap about zabuza's chest roughly pulling the man down and slamming him into the water beneath them not done with his move Naruto then spun about taking zabuza's body with him and flinging him towards the bank watched as he bounced a few times with the hard Landing Zabuza groaned as he hoisted his body up cursing his luck for being presented such an adversary Zabuza sprung back at top the water and instantly began to flash through hand seals somewhat recognizing the long array of seals Zabuza was going through and guessing the outcome narut flashed through his own even faster than that of Zabuza finishing up their seals Zabuza and Naruto each shouted out their own individual jutsus Sweden suud and no Jutsu water release water drag a bullet technique futon fud and no Jutsu wind release wind dragon bullet technique rising from beneath a dragon of pure water emerged before Zabuza immediately launching itself towards narut although narut hadn't seemed to have created anything the wind picked up in front of him and if one was to look closely they would have seen the shape of a dragon made entirely of wind form charging at its Dragon counterpart before it the two dragons clashed then swirling and twirling about one another before they canceled each other out the two combatants sprang forward blades clashing as their dragons had moments before neither seemed ready to give up an inch they had gained pushing at the other with all their might ultimately meeting in a stalemate that would not change soon it was here that both sprang back at some unknown signal Zabuza began once more forming seals and Naruto forming a clone beside him began going through his own set of seals along with his clone seeming to be performing an entirely separate Jutsu all three finishing at once Zabuza Cried Out Sweden daaku Fu no Jutsu water release great waterfall technique sending a great torrent of water straight at Naruto working as one both Narutos looked at each other and drawing breath into their lungs expelled the chakra infused pressure within them while shouting out Kaden Eureka no Jutsu Fire release fire Lily technique f atsugi wind release pressure damage the gigantic Fireballs that flew from one of the mouths made eyes widen at the sheer size of the masses of roiling fire it was like a rain of fireballs that spread out wide a Jutsu used sparingly by those within konaha for large scale battles however it was the focused and immense wall of wind heading towards Zabuza that scared him the most not only did he feel the incoming power from the technique the wind fueled the Fireballs doubling them in size and strength zabuza's water technique was no match for the combined forces of the two jutsus and watching as his torrent of water was plowed through felt the impact of one of the Fireballs as it landed in the water beside him sending him crashing back onto land and into a hard tree knocking him out instantly upon impact sighing to himself at the hard-earned victory narut simply LED his clone poof out of existence and began walking towards his group asking while on the move you guys okay they all nodded dumbly still amazed at the sheer power of the man approaching them none more odd than ucha sake whose Clan prided themselves on their use of fire techniques however the boy had never seen the magnitude of fire manipulation that Naruto had just shown off and he once again wondered if his Sensei could actually defeat his brother in battle flicking his gaze to tuna narut noticed nothing wrong with the old man and nodding in acceptance and glad that his team had survived the deadly attack and handled themselves well patted each on the back for good work turning he then proceeded to the lone body of Zabuza but was stopped short when another figure made its appearance known flinging two sen bonds into the side of zabuza's neck arching his brow narut eyed the masked figure standing upon a branch high above but noticing the mask they were adorned with proceeded to examine Zabuza placing two fingers to side of his neck he's dead was all Naro said before turning back to their mysterious masked individual thank you very much I was looking for a chance to kill Zabuza the figure said bowing its head in Naruto's direction that mask it indicates this person as a hunter nin of kirigakure from his appearance they look to be female and quite young at that to be so young and already a hunter n she must be quite extraordinary amused Naruto stepping back Naruto watched as the figure flashed to zabuza's side and after lifting him up onto his shoulders simply said I shall be taking him back to Kiri thank you for your services Kahan nin you have done a great service Alarm Bell immediately began to go off in Naruto's head and with his unmasked expression the other figure seemed to catch onto what he was thinking reacting quickly Naruto threw two of his canai forward and bolted right behind them the hunter nin seeing the weapons flying towards him instantly countered sending two sbon to deflect the canai out of the air before sending a wall of water towards the charging Naruto managing to dodge the technique launched at him narut turned back to where he had last seen the Ninja but upon settling his Gaze on the exact spot saw only grass sighing and shaking his head in dejection narut made his back to the startled group giving them a later to put off the obvious string of questions they wanted to ask him he then asked tuna if he would be so kind as to show them the rest of the way to his house air uh yes follow me and with that led the small group down the road and towards his home almost giddy with happiness now that zabu had been taken down by narut reaching the home which seemed to be a very well-built two-story Abode made entirely of wood a woman who appeared in her late 20s greeted the group at the door ah hello I assume you are all the ninja that my father hired please please come in make yourselves at home 'll start dinner soon so relax you all don't look so good oh and my name is tsunami it's a pleasure to meet you giving their greetings both teams seven and tuna made their way into the house where they all collapsed some out of weariness While others just from their adrenaline finally settling down here they all stayed until they were called to dinner after scarfing down all the food presented tsunami picked up their plates before saying to the group we have two rooms that you all can stay in if you would like I don't really know the customs of ninja but a comfortable bed is usually enjoyed by everyone ah thank you tsunami San that would be greatly appreciated turning his head Naruto eyed his team before stating all right you three you all will be staying in one room while I take the other you are to get a good night sleep because you're going to need it for the next few days trust me now get off with you lot watching the group leave down the hallway Naruto instantly remembered something and raising his voice yelled at the departing three oh and I better not catch you two trying to fool around with me sister or th will be held to pay boys hearing the slightly choked gasps from said boys Naruto chuckled before turning to his hosts who were both giving him highly amused Expressions you were very protective of your sister aen you Naruto s asked tsunami as she began to wipe off the table the next morning found the group sitting cross-legged in front of their Sensei as he intently scanned over the many Scrolls before him his eyes shifted back and forth between each and occasionally he would let slip a slight Mumble that was incomprehensible to anyone but himself so engrossed was he that he didn't even notice his kid Sister making weird and obnoxious faces in his Direction some rather amusing to see such as the other two boys were witnessing Naro was purely and utterly focused on the various seal Arrangements he had recently been working on and just like every Uzumaki before him his brain was locked solely on his work blocking out any and all outside disturbances if he could only solve the small issue of folding over the distance between himself and the namazi estate so that he didn't die of chakra use in trying to link to it if he could do that then finally after many minutes of this process going on the less patient of the trio turned his head to glance once again at his female teammate and questioned what's wrong with him it's like he doesn't even know we're here nodding her head Reena half smiled as she gazed fondly over at her beloved brother at work the girl recognized some of the symbols and squiggles littering every inch of the Scrolls he was reading but sadly most of it was just above her current level of ceiling while she was in Uzumaki as her brother for some reason she just could never get into the art of fuinjutsu oh sure she learned the art easily enough for like all uzumakis she shared some Affinity to the craft but she just couldn't get into it let alone concentrate for hours on end he probably doesn't he gets like this sometimes and you either have to hit him out of it or just wait for him to snap out of it but I say we go with the first option putting words to action she promptly stepped up behind her brother who didn't even notice her presence letting her arm retract back Reena slammed her fist into the back of Naruto's skull shouting out hey idiot pay attention narut keeled over immediately his hands instinctively rising to the back of his head to cover the growing lump at top his Noggin while UT in a soft a tatata wincing from the pain and having a sudden flashback of his mother with red hair flying about her face Nar slowly turned around half expecting his mother to actually be there the figure behind him certainly looked like his mother all right red hair cascading down the sides of her face with flashing violet eyes however she was too short and the image of his mother slowly left Naruto's Eyes Only to shift to his sister with her fist clenched in front of his face blinking narut cocked his head to the side before releasing his head oh uh hey there Reena what are you doing here Reena gained a tick mark at that comment her fist clenching all the more tightly as she glared at her brother well we're here because you told tsunami sand to tell us to meet you up here when we were done eating honestly Nissan you're a complete idiot sometimes as if just realizing he had indeed asked them to be here after eating breakfast Naruto turned to the side and smiled at the two boys who were both exhibiting sweat drops at the scene playing before them oh great you guys are here good good well stop standing there Reena and sit down we have some things to discuss sighing and shaking her head for her brother's sake Reena once again resumed her middle position just between her two teammates and cocked an eyebrow up at her brother seeing that they were ready narut closed his eyes for a moment as if to collect his thoughts before once again opening them all right 'll probably answer most of your questions with this so just please listen carefully now it seems desperately wants tuna sand dead if he's willing to pay for such a high caliber ninja like Zabuza that man was totally out of your league but you fre did well in defending tazuna San most teams would have just left the client but I applaud yino for remaining behind to guard while the other two defended against zabuza's attack I am very impressed so good job now here's the bad part and Naruto paused significantly Zabuza is not dead he stopped there hearing the collective gasps of shock due to his Proclamation he waited letting them get over their initial surprise and just as he had predicted the question was asked what do you mean Sensei judging from your examination of the body it appeared as though you believed him to be dead how could he not be well at first I did think he was dead but you all remember the Ninja at the end of the fight if you don't know that individual was a hunter nin from Kiri their job was to kill Zabuza so that no trace of him remained as you all probably know a Shinobi's body is full of secrets that can be easily exploited if used correctly a hunter nin destroys any in all evidence the ninja existed the problem is they're only supposed to cut off the head of their prey to Mark the target as indeed dead and burn the rest of the body he knew that his team had caught on when Reena pointed out but they didn't they took zabuza's body exactly said Naruto nodding his head in her direction to show his appreciation for her quick wit he took the body standard protocol is to cut of the head then and there not to take the body and do it some else that is why I attacked from that I knew that our little friend was a fake and probably a partner of some sort to Zabuza but why would his partner attack him they threw two sen bonds into his neck questioned Reena not quite sure why someone would do that if they were trying to save Zabuza Naruto chuckled and raised a finger a well that's an easy one there are several areas in the neck to which if correctly hit can make someone appear as though they're dead sbond have a low fatality rate unless of course they hit critical points in the body anyone with the right knowledge of the bodily systems would easily be able to hit specific areas in the body to make a person appear dead that is my guess on what happened to Zabuza there is a good side to all of this though seeing the dubious looks being shot in his Direction Nar then went on to explain because of the delicacy of these areas hit and being put in near death State we have time before Zabuza fully recovers probably a little over a week is my guess during that time team seven will guard tuna San as hired to entrain I need to get you guys up to shape in order to fight that pair but what about Duna San shouldn't we inform him Zabuza is still alive asked Reena wondering if it was a good idea to keep that little secret hidden no we won tell him he's got enough to worry about right now telling him will only freak him out even more and this country needs him to finish that bridge as the old saying goes ignorance is bliss this training you said how will it help us it's not like anything you can do will get us up to zabuza's level in just a week SAS pointed out SAS it's better to prepare even if the odds are against you let me ask you this if you were studying for a test would you rather come in knowing half the knowledge you needed to know or all of it well all of it obviously you'd probably fail if you don't and here SAS glanced over in Reena Direction who scowled in return exactly even if we only managed to increase the likelihood of you surviving an attack from Zabuza by 1% would it not be Ben official to try that 1% could mean the difference between life and death in these types of situations and it's better to be prepared than regret not doing so before dying always remember that Victory is never a sure thing and a Shinobi must always train his or her body so as to increase the chance of survival when I am not busy even I train because there is always someone out there stronger than me that would kill me if given the chance never become LAX in the Shinobi world or you dead plain and simple seeing the look crossing over s s's face narut chuckled before slowly rising from his bed roll placing a hand on his head he patted the boy it's all right SAS you asked what you thought was an important question and I as your Sensei answered it is my job to help you guys develop as shobi and it's your jobs to listen and grow from my teaching anyways let's get you guys training we don't have a lot time after all watching as they Rose from their seats Naruto walked behind his team as they made their way downstairs and into the kitchen moving to the front door Naruto was just about to open it for his team to depart before the action was done by another a young boy with a large white hat wearing green overalls rushing into the house watching as the boy blinked in surprise at the new faces in his home Naruto raised his hand in greeting coupling the gesture with a small smile yo the boy continued to Blink even more confused at the greeting before simply running into the kitchen and towards tuna grandpa I am home he shouted and flung himself into the waiting Farms of the old man oh enari there you are we've been wondering where you've been said tuna embracing the now known Inari tightly in his arms enari don't ignore our guests these are the Ninja who are here to guard your grandpa at this the boy turned his head still locked in his grandfather's arms and seemed to glare at the four staring curiously at the scene Breaking Free from tuna Inari turned to his mother and callously said Mom they're going to die there's no way anyone can stop got he's going to kill all of them everyone was startled at the Outburst hardly expecting this 8-year-old boy to say such things none of them knew exactly what to say or how to answer his forboding words but thinking that someone must say something Reena raised her voice to be heard Inari San I can assure you we won't be dying so easily we're pretty strong and our Sensei is way stronger than this goto we're going to protect your grandfather and try and help this country help you think you guys are some Heroes there are a no such things as Heroes you're all just going to die just go home with that enari flashed a scowl at the four before rushing out of the kitchen and up the stairs raising herself halfway up from her chair tsunami yelled out enari where are you going I am going to watch the ocean they all heard the boy shout back before disappearing up the stairs and out of sight tuna and turned his head to gaze back at Team seven wanting to apologize for his grandson I am sorry for that I am sure he didn't really mean what he said narut shook his head and raised a hand no need to apologize to Zuna San it is quite all right Reena can you go up and make sure he's all right nodding her head Reena quickly followed the path Inari had taken in climbing the stairs quietly made her way down the hallway while she moved she began to wonder why the boy had said what he had there must be some reason thought Reena as she tried to figure out which room was inari's At the quiet sound of what she perceived to be crying she followed the sound to a room set to one side of the hallway peeking through a slit in the doorway she saw Inari sitting at top his desk staring out his open window at the ocean Beyond frowning at the sight wondering why he was crying she stayed for a few more moments to reassure herself that the boy was all right before drawing back and quietly departing not wanting to embarrass the boy by being seen crying XXX the masked figure crouched beside the motionless form of Boza unrolling her equipment she looked over her tools before removing a tool that looked somewhat like sharpened Pinchers turning she stared down at the unmoving body before considering what she had to do I have to cut the cloth on his mouth and make him cough up the blood first at this she leaned forward preparing herself to cut away the bandages surrounding zabuza's mouth however her movements were cut short when she saw the widening eyes of Zabuza his black pupil staring in her Direction after just waking up and a hand gripping her wrist to Halt her progress I can do it myself said Zabuza shifting slightly with a groan from how weary and pained his body felt oh so you came back to life already pointed out the figure and if Zabuza had known better he would have suspected the figure had been joking wincing from Pain Zabuza Rose slowly laying his arms on his thighs as he sat there pain rcking his body but having dealt enough with pain enough to block most of it out Zabuza reached up and began to draw the senbon out from the side of his neck blood splattering as the metal weapons were yanked out gez you're so rough Zabuza Sama please don't take those out so roughly either you'll die for real growling at that Zabuza tossed the second and last of the sen bonds away and stared down at the ground for a moment thinking over recent events after a moment he flicked his eyes towards the figure crouched beside him giving the mask staring back at him a hard look how long are you going to wear that fake mask take it off the figure seemed to ponder that for a moment before nodding his head I forgot because it's been a while since I used this she said before reaching up and gripping The Mask slowly drawing it away from her face the figure revealed her face a Flawless physique with dark brown eyes and firm but well-formed lips the girl stared at Zabuza her lips curving up into a warm Smile as he gazed at the older man it was also nice to use it to pull of that act if I hadn't stepped it you would have surely been dead although and here she faulted Wonder how best to put this when I tried to take you away the man you were fighting with seemed to catch on and attacked I defended and managed to get away but I am sure they know you're still alive shaking his head Zabuza stiffly ran his fingers through his short brown hair guess it can't be helped but you know you didn't need to attack my neck if you wanted to put me into a near-death State you're still so wicked I couldn't help it informed the girl I didn't want to scar your beautiful body Zabuza Sama and it's easier to aim at the neck since it had fewer muscles Zabuza snorted at this before trying to rise to his feet and failing miserably grunting as he settled himself back down upon the ground the girl responded in turn you won't be able to function properly for a week or so but maybe you'll be able to move soon Zabuza Sama Zabuza stared at her for a long moment his eyes boring into the girl Z who didn't seem phased for a second you're pure clever and not tainted at all that's what I like about you this response immed mediately set the girl's cheeks to Flushing and slightly scoffing at the comment quickly responded I am still a child so and then just shifted to her feet to stand over Zabuza turning about the girl noticed the surroundings about them and said the fog Has Lifted barely receiving any acknowledgement he went on will you be okay next time it was unlike Zabuza to even hesitate when asked such a question concerning fighting but when he thought about it a small amount of fear began to seep into him something that he had never before felt the feeling felt uncomfortable to the cold-hearted killer and try as he might to push it away he just could not staring Straight Ahead he began to speak this job isn't paying enough for someone as big as the yellow wraith if we were in different circumstances i d demand more money but seeing as how we need the cash and Gotto could pull out at any time I can't I also can't back out of this deal what would it make us look like if we did sissies that's what no one would hire us again no he'll fight the yellow wraith again but we have to be careful very careful the mons dangerous the girl who had never seen her master and traveling partner so weary before was momentarily taken aback by his words quickly recovering she bowed her head as you wish Sauza Sama now let's get you back to The Hideout to start your recovery XXX team 7 stood along the grassy Shoreline a short distance off from the main household of tuna it was already close to noon and they were assembled here to discuss the new training regime they would undergo to try to improve their chances of survival in the coming days in front of them with his hands rummaging through his pack narut sat grumbling to himself as he searched for something with an Aha and a quick yank of his wrist their Sensei finally arose a few noticeable pieces of blank paper in his right hand grinning to his team he brandished the paper before handing out the slips keeping one for himself for demonstration purposes these pieces of paper are known as chakra paper they will help us identify the element or elements you have an affinity towards while Elemental TR isn't usually started until later on I think the situation demands we get you started be warned manipulating the elements is much harder than you think and will require your complete attention and focus got it receiving nods from his team Naruto went on to explain the principles of the paper now all you have to do is channel your chakra through the paper the paper will react differently depending on your Affinity if it wrinkles your lightning if the paper is cut in half wind if it becomes soggy water it burns if fire and and finally it crumbles if you're Earth now let's show you what I mean looking at the paper he was holding narut pushed a small amount of his chakra into it waiting for the reaction to occur almost instantly the paper split in half signifying his Affinity towards wind however the process didn't stop there after that one half of the paper began to grow soggy while the second half became wrinkled the onlookers watched intriguingly applying what they had just been lectured onto the spectacle before them now then I am sure you all noticed what happened I have three affinities my main Affinity is wind with water coming up as a close second my third is lightning but it's only a minor Affinity currently all junan ranked Shinobi tend to know two elements while a few even know three rarely do you see anyone with more than that such as our Hokage who knows all five stopping here to let them take it all in Naruto then began to press on with his lecture the interesting part about elements is that each of the five Great Elemental countries leans more heavily on one type of element versus the others obviously from the name our country leans more towards fire wind country towards wind and so on this also tends to occur within some families as well for example I wouldn't be surprised if you SAS had an affinity towards fire due to almost all uch having that specific Affinity your family is known for their fire manipulation and has even created new jutsus due to their pride in their capabilities concerning that particular element at this all eyes looked to SAS who just just puffed out his chest swelling up with pride for the great ucha Clan however that has also been the downfall of many uias throughout history hearing that all three especially SAS grew confused and glanced back at their Sensei for an explanation because of their efficiency in the fire element many uias deemed themselves worthy only to use that element because of that many enemies knowing their ways would simply use strong water jutsus to overpower their fire techniques while each element is strong against a certain element it's also weak to one as well and in that case water is strong against fire wanting to backtrack a bit Naruto then began to speak before he could be interrupted as I said elements can be hereditary this is true in my case as well I gained a strong water Affinity due to my mother who was from Whirlpool country known for their water usage I gained my lightning from my father wind is all my own and only a few in fire country have that particular element so it was tough learning jutsus relating to wind seeing the quiet stairs aimed up at him and thinking that they should continue on with the lesson Naruto waved in their Direction anyways go ahead and push some chakra into the paper you first SAS with the prompting SAS nodded and began pushing some of his chakra towards his hand watched the paper intently not surprising to any of them after what their Sensei had just said the paper immediately burst into flames followed by many of the paper chunks wrinkling up H interesting fire with a minor Affinity in lightning very few have two affinities at your age guess we have a little bit of wiggle room with your training then next Reena hearing her name Reena began to channel her chakra into her slip of paper immediately the paper became soggy while she had known her element was water Reena was slightly put off that she hadn't gained a second like SAS had just another thing hell thrown in my face just like before you have water Reena you're just like our mother Reena gaining a smile at the thought then heard Naruto beckan foro to start proceeding through the same procedure shino's paper simply crumbled indicating he was earth-based all right so we have all the elements within our little group eh very nice that can turn out be quite advantageous now then to go along with this training I will provide each of you with one elemental Jutsu sake while you have two I think fire would be better to teach right now since lightning can sometimes be tricky receiving a nod in understanding Naruto went on first off sake you already know a short ranged C rank fire Jutsu so adding a mid-range will help with your diversity this Jutsu is called rayuka No Jutsu dragon fire technique and acts like a flamethrower of sorts here are the Seals shifting from snake Dragon rabbit and finally tiger slowly enough so that SAS could memorize the sequence Nar then shouted out the technique leaning forward while doing so from out of his mouth streamed a long thin line of hot fire the the flame meeting the crashing ocean water beside them before bursting into a cloud of White Steam all those present covered their eyes the hot steam heating their bodies up to sweating before finally narut released the Jutsu and smirked down at sake careful where you fire it though it's hot enough to melt rocks so a teammate would not be best to hit with it seeing the understanding in sake's eyes narut then turned towards Reena H what to teach you you already know a few water jutsus already Naruto thought for a moment his fingers coming up to cup his chin as he pondered over the various water techniques he knew after a few moments Naro seemed to brighten having thought of a good technique to teach her I think the S yuben water whip Jutsu would be good for you it'll help you keep just out of range but allow you to strike out at your opponent flicking through the rat dog and Ox seals he waited for Reena to show that she had memorized the sequence before letting his hand draw to the side Whispering the name this time a long whip-like object seemed to materialize out of thin air within his grasp flicking it like the name suggested he cracked the water whip letting the tip wrap about a nearby Branch before yanking it back so that the piece of wood landed in his free hand this technique is basically a Whip made of water and can be used to hold or pull someone or something but as you know all water techniques that are formed outside need to have some sort of water supply near at hand without it these types of jutsus are hard to create because of the lack of water it has been said that our naid Dame Hokage was so proficient with water that he was able to literally combine water molecules in the air to form his water which would take an incredible amount of control and chakra to do you definitely Aon at this level so remember the requirements to using this and you should be fine and what of me Sensei question Shino I have an interesting Jutsu that might work well with your bugs Shino because you haven't dealt with nature manipulation before I can only give you a d rank Jutsu but it should work well for you it's called doden shuriken no Jutsu Earth release Stone shuriken technique and you basically make shuriken by picking up the dirt beneath you and tossing it at your opponent narut crouched down scooping a bit of dirt from the ground and tossing it towards a tree they all watched as the dirt particles quickly fused together forming small shuriken shaped projectiles that seem to easily impale themselves in the bark of the tree and how will this technique work well with my bugs asked Shino his analysis of the display not proving to draw any real conclusion on how to put the two together it'll tell you later first you need to actually get the Jutsu down here he faced all three now then since all of you know a new thing to work on it'll leave you to try them out it'll be back later to observe you once I handle a few things if I don't get distracted what are you going to do Nissan inquired Reena oh this and that don't worry about it stop worrying about me and get to practicing twerps responded Naruto before he walked away leaving the three to their own Affairs XXX narut walked through the small fishing Village the small town holding an air of complete and utter defeat at the hands of godd after leaving his team Naruto had wanted to see firsthand what was happening in this country and what he had seen made his fingers curl into fists his jaw tighten as he took in everything around him people ranging from small children to weary Elders huddled along the road up against the walls of the rundown shops some raising their hand at his passing beging for money while some didn't seem to have the energy to do even that most of these Beggars wore Rags for clothing the rags barely covering up anything the normal embarrassment to this fact wasn't even evident for these people had suffered so much for so long that they didn't even care how they appeared to others two focused on trying to obtain money or food for themselves and their families often an occasional building Naruto past appeared to be raised the blackened charred husks of their wooden skeletons being the only thing that marked that there had once been a building there Boats were overturned and in splinters along the beach and even here people sought Refuge from the elements tying raggedy old blankets to the Mast as a form of shelter from the ever prevailing wind yet this was not the worst in Naruto's utmost opinion not even clothes the worst part was the horrendous smell in some areas of the village it seemed that when godd or his Lackey were not satisfied they enacted their rage on the people of the village bodies littered many of the Alleyways covered the beaches their dead eyes staring up at the Sun the faces that weren't melting away from the exposure showing the pain they had been in before their deaths the smell perforated the air in the village causing Naruto to gag as he inhaled the acrid and rotten smell that came off the bodies it made the young man sick to his stomach to see all this his nose wrinkling in disgust and his hatred growing a new for the man called G got was treating these people less than even animals refusing them the right to let them bury or do honor to those that He or his men had killed he prohibited the body from being moved making the rotting forms to serve as a reminder and warning of what happens when they did not do as godd said all this killed all thoughts of rebellion within the villagers thoughts and so they just dealt with it shifting sad gazes away from previous friends or family without shedding even a single tear having shed so many before Naruto was furious with what was happening his blood boiling as each frightened scarred pleading face stared at him as he passed their eyes begging him to help them it sickened the young man and he couldn't even imagine imag what the people of tuna's Village were going through he just had to do something it was here that narut felt a slight tug on his arm and whirling about hand snapping down to his weapons pouch he faced the person he froze almost instantly when he saw not an attacker but a dirt en crusted girl her young eyes staring up at him with her arm shaking from the sheer effort of just lifting her hand up so high narut stared down at the girl and the longer he looked the harder it was to keep the tears forming in the corners of his eyes from falling she had short brown hair with a set of matching eyes she didn't seem to have washed herself in days and there was a small bruise that covered her skin just beneath a layer of grime and filth the sight was truly pitiful to the man disheartening to see such a young child forced to endure the life godd was forcing upon the village her brown eyes gazed into Naruto's Cerulean blue conveying without words her feelings and question for food knowing what she wanted Naruto crouched to one KNE moving to eye level with the small girl before smiling sadly at her his heart cried out as he witnessed the spark of Life In Her Eyes the prospect of actual food giving her tired face a small amount of Life which appeared to have been wiped out long before now you're hungry Aon you asked Naruto rummaging through his pockets for the scroll he kept extra food and in case of emergency to him this was an emergency and he knew he had to do something for this child ye started the girl but stopped and swiped her tongue across parched lips trying again she answered him yes sir Naruto nodded and pushing a minuscule amount of chakra into the Scroll after finding it a few oranges and a sandwich emerged from the smoke that followed it was so convenient that Scrolls kept the things stored within it in a suspended animation thus preventing food from rotting on long trips like this grabbing up the food he handed it all to the girl whose face had turned shocked at the amount she was receiving having only expected a few pieces of breadcrumbs or something of similar nature narut saw this and once again winced for the current situation she was in putting his scroll away he rose standing to his full height the girl switched her gaze between the food now in her hands and the man who had gifted her with such a treasure she once again tried to speak tried to offer her thanks for the huge meal but could not form the words to do so instead she placed all the food in a small sack at her side and slowly walked forward wrapping her arms around his legs in a hug reaching down Nar gently placed a hand on the back of her head and rubbed the greasy hair letting it remain until she finally pulled away tears falling from her eyes because of the generosity of this stranger where are your parents little one Naruto questioned the girl shook her head at the question and just said gato before gaining a frightened and pained look Naruto could only guess at what had happened and could understand the fear she exhibited for the man that had caused so much pain and suffering around her so you're an orphan she nodded her head in Naruto then asked is there an orphanage of some kind you stay at she nodded again and when Naruto asked her if she could take him there she reached up shakily taking his hand in hers before guiding him down the dirt road leading towards the outskirts of the village the two walked for a Time neither speaking and both avoiding eye contact with many of the people lining the streets in search of money barely any of the stores they passed were actually open many having wooden planks over the windows or as before being burnt to the ground the girl guided him down the streets turning left right and then finally making a final left before narut saw the building he could only assume as the orphanage come into sight the building was like all the others around it it was composed mostly of wood with a few shattered windows and had no door to speak of in the lawn were several children who were busy kicking a ball but didn't seem to have much energy to do so at the sight of the girl who they all knew and a stranger walking with her hand in hand all of the children assembled outside stopped what they were doing and stared at the pair while some wanted to rush over they held back out of fear that had been nurtured or beaten into them for the past few years by God's men when one child ran into the building and emerged a few seconds later with an older-looking female Naruto guessed that this was the person said to watching over the orphans while dressed somewhat more presentable than those deeper into a town her clothes were still made up of Rags the woman gave narut a strange and cautious expression one to which Nar didn't begrudge her for giving him releasing the girl's hand he approached the woman bowing his head to her you are the caretaker for these children he asked politely I am who are you the woman asked still giving him that look my name is narut and I am one of the Shinobi sent to guard to Zuna San while he completes his Bridge he responded in kind the woman's body seemed to relax somewhat at the news having heard of the man going out of the country to bring back Aid still she remained alert not sure of the reason he had for coming to her orphanage and consequently asked why are you here then shouldn't you be guarding him if that's your job oh I am I can be in two places at once if you must know the woman's face showed confusion but didn't ask the obvious question my reason for being here is this young lady indicating the girl who had led him here the caretaker stared at the girl who looked up at her before pulling out the food Naruto had given her kiaan he gave me all this food and wanted to see the orphanage the now identified Kia looked between the two in Surprise before her face seemed to soften turning back back to Naruto she bowed her head as he had done previously my apologies for asking so many questions one can't be too careful right now my name is Kia might I ask why you gave our little SOI so much food I don't approve of what's going on around here kiaan people should en be living like this especially so SEI and coupled with the fact she looks just like my sister when she was her age how could I not help answered Nar thank you then you are a very generous person Nar s Kia said it's really no trouble and while I am here I thought I might as well help and give the kids a little show Naruto responded with a friendly grin and how will you go about that KIA asked wondering what could be on this Mon's mind well first off I thought I might get you guys some more food what do you say to that questioned Naruto any bit of extra food would be greatly appreciated we get by right now but soon it won't be enough to feed all the children here I understand and here Nar raised his voice hey kids who wants to see some magic magic asked everyone in chorus including Kia instead of verbally answering Naruto just beckoned for them to follow him scooping up a pair of fishing nets from a seemingly abandoned dock on the way down to the beach that was right next to the orphanage once there he instructed the children to spread the Nets as wide as possible and to be prepared for a surprise done with their task they all stood back to watch as Naruto flashed through a few hand seals before spreading both his palms out wide in front him a few of those assembled saw the surface of the water begin to stir bubbling up in a froth but all saw when the water burst upwards shooting nearly 20 ft into the air the water didn't stop there and curving towards land it crashed onto the spread Nets drenching some of those too close until finally Naruto released the technique revealing two Nets chalk full of squirming flopping fish just like the fish all those watching gave Naruto similar Expressions not really knowing what had just happened when their brains finally caught up all the children leapt forward towards Naruto tackling him to the ground and praising him loudly for the awesome magic trick he had done the man laughed as he went down covered from head to toe in clinging children that seemed to have no desire to release him soon Kia not looking a gift horse in the mouth called over four of the older boys to carry the fish filled Nets to the orphanage and place them in buckets to be dealt with later after they had left with bright and happy smiles on their faces Kia then moved over to the overrun form of Naruto gazing down at the children piled high at top him and glad that they could all find some source of happiness in these dismal of times she called them to order children children please get off Naruto San if I am not mistaken he still has a few more tricks head like to show us at first the children had groaned at being ordered off their new play thing of sorts but when informed of potentially more surprises and tricks they couldn't get off of him fast enough narut stood up quickly twisting his arm about a few times to get a king that had formed for being under the heavy mass for a few minutes giving his thanks to Kia for saving him from the not so terrible death of being overloaded by cuteness he then ruffled two of the children's heads that's right I have a couple more things I D like to show you guys that I think might help might I ask where you get your Lumber around here narut requested just a little way into the forest responded Kia pointing in the direction that led outside of the village fringes we always chop what we need there Nar nodded in appre iation for the answer before hoisting a giggling and squealing SOI into the air and onto his shoulders making sure she was stable up there he was then crowded in on all sides by the children as he made for the requested area having journeyed through the crop of trees Naruto stood at the edge of a wide and cleared area the flat tops of stumps littering the area indicating that trees were indeed Cut From Here dropping so sey from his shoulders he turned to the group and began to explain his second trick drawing All Eyes towards him with a puzzling question who wants a new house to sleep in those assembled stared dumbly at Naruto not really sure of what he meant by that they already had a house so why would they need a new one not receiving an answer for his question Naruto turned to Kia you do need a new house do you not that old orphanage Building looks a little rundown and I think somewhere where the children could potentially avoid getting sick would be good yes I suppose but how do you began Kia but Naruto had already turned his back to her momentarily focusing chakra into one of his hands Nar then cocked his elbow drawing his right hand to the side with a quick jerk of his wrist he suddenly swung his hand horizontally to the naked eye the air before narut seemed to Ripple the sight barely perceptible to everyone watching the sound of several loud snaps followed the almost simple gesture tree branches rustled and the clear groan of trees was heard ever so slowly a thin line began to Trail across the trunks of each and every tree before the group due to being cut by nut's wind the trunks held there for a few seconds almost appearing to resist being forcefully removed from their bases but in the end they could resist no longer and began to lean towards the viewers threatening to collapse on top of them everyone placed their hands over their heads trying with that simple action to protect themselves from the falling behemoths but they needed not fear as if bidding them away Naruto flicked both hands nonchalantly to the side the trees blowing to the side in turn and away from the group grou saving them all how did you try to startled Kia not believing what she had just seen oh Magic of course I did say I had a few tricks to show didn't I responded an amused Naruto yeah but to do that KIA cried in Amusement almost all as Shinobi can do something like this in some shape or form it's not hard once you get the hang of it answered Naruto with a chuckle any other tricks you'd like to show us well I do have one it's sort of how I am here and watching tuna at the same time want to see when he saw the nod in response from Kia and the kids Naruto crossed his fingers before him before Whispering something under his breath What followed would startle the Watchers even more than they had been all ready for out of the smoke that formed around narut perfect copies of the tall young blonde appeared surrounding him on all sides T Cried Out 50 Narutos putting their fingers up in a pieace sign W wh what echoed everyone shocked at seeing so many Narutos Nar laughed at their hilarious Expressions tears coming to his eyes as he laughed his hard out after a good amount of time had passed and everyone had slowly come to a realization of what had happened the original Naruto ordered his clones to grab a trunk two a piece and carry them to the orphanage guiding his audience away from the clearing and back to the orphanage they all arrived to witness all the nudos cutting away first the bark of the trees This Was Then followed by them slicing the remaining wood into to equal slabs of wood the procedure precise and accurate to the inch so that each piece of either plywood or some other type of lumber used for building was exactly the same while all of this was going on narut was busy explaining to those around him that he had received some training in cutting Lumber as well as building structures his ability to duplicate himself has been very much sought after by construction companies and they had paid top marks for his Aid in putting up new buildings Villages and small towns while it wasn't the most common of jobs a Shinobi took narut was a kind man and whenever he saw somewhere he could help he was glad to offer his service especially if it helped others such as building new homes for people once the wood had been cut the Clones then sorted the wood into similar piles they had to wait a time for the Clone Naruto had sent to the tiny hardware store deeper in town to come back with the necessary items but once he had the Clones then set to work grabbing up hammers or anything they could use to pound nails and began to create first the outer wooden skeleton before it was filled in by many hardworking and eager Narutos during the few hours that passed while the construction was underway the original Naruto helped in cleaning and salting the fish that had been caught some of the seafood was placed over fires to cook but most was stored for a later time once the fish had been cooked it was generously portioned out to the children by Naruto and Kia each child stuffing him or herself so much that their stomachs swelled night was fast approaching when the new house was finished many of the children had dozed off while waiting the food having gotten to them but were not grumpy in the slightest when they were gently shaken to wakefulness when narut had finally announced the completion of the house all the children cheered out in happiness ecstatic Smiles adorning their faces rushing forward the orphans stormed into their new home moving from room to room in examination of the freshly built structure which was now two stories versus their previously one story Abode when Naruto saw that soeki had stayed behind but seemed to really want to go in narut reached down and grabbed her much smaller hand tugging her lightly along as he guided her into the house having gained the memories from his now non-existent clones Naruto gestured to this room and that room pointing out the kitchen the living area and the numerous bedrooms he had sadly not had anything at hand to build in plumbing carpeting stoves or any of the Comfort accessories but had figured that they could get by so long as they had an actual place to call home that wasn't their rat Nest from before it was with a happy hard and tears streaming down her cheeks that KIA approached Nar wiping a hand across her eyes to rub away the tears she then began to speak I really don't know what to say Naruto s this is just all too much to take in that I can't form words to show my gratitude for all you have done you didn't have to do all this but you did I don't know how to repay you for all this Naruto smiled at the woman known probably what was running through her head it's no problem you don't owe me anything I had some free time to kill and it was my my honor to help these orphans Here Naruto paused before continuing on but if you really was to repay me you could answer some questions I have anything anything answered Kia quickly a little desperate to do anything she could to Aid the man that had helped them so much chuckling at her eagerness narut then asked his first question his mood becoming more somber how long has go been here he came around 5 or 6 years ago we believed him when he said he was here to help us since we weren't getting by all that much back then and saw him as someone that could help get the country back on its feet obviously it's only gotten worse since he arrived do you think that with the bridge things could get better Kia bit at her lower lip at this hesitating for a moment before responding even if tazuna San can finish the bridge I don't think it will do any good got will probably just take it over and charge us even more for using it and Kia's mood sullied at her own admittance narut nodded having been thinking along the same lines ever since he and his team had arrived on the small island do you know where I can find godd by chance he must live somewhere around here I don't really know we know he lives somewhere on this island but I can't tell you the exact location maybe one of his men know where answered Kia with a frown and not having been of much help narut sighed knowing exactly what he would have to do and the idea rather displeased him for he saw no other choice in the matter with his final question answered narut bowed his head to the woman thank you for helping whether you believe or not you did did answer some of my questions and I am grateful I have to get going but I promise it'll be back soon to check up on you guys give my best to soeki will you I will and thank you again you did a great service here and you won't be forgotten I can assure you the following day found team seven right back where they had started the previous day sitting on the shoreline just a ways from tuna's house all but one of the Children looked pale due to chakra depletion the day prior with Reena looking the same as ever due to her ungodly recovery rate they had all worked their butts off yesterday trying to perfect their individual techniques given to them by Naruto but none of them were at the level they really wanted to be at wielding their respective jutsus let's see the progress you guys have made said Naruto and flicked his gaze to Shino indicating he would start off the demonstrations for the morning rising Shino moved a little ways from the rest of the group so as not to endanger them scooping up a handful of dirt Shino threw the rock particles straight out in front of him before moving through the necessary hand seals at a reasonable Pace some of the dirt flying through the air began consolidate together forming crude looking shuriken that hit the tree and then exploded in a shower of dirt upon contact none piercing the thick bark Naruto watched the entire spectacle and knew instantly why the shuriken had not done what they were supposed to do a fact he passed on to Shino good job for your first day of manipulating your element you've got the right idea problem was that you didn't push enough chakra into the dirt before you threw it there wasn't enough chakra in the dirt to manipulate properly which is why they look a bit deformed it's an easy fix so no worries try again and this time focus more chakra into it taking the advice Shino Drew another handful of soil from the ground and repeated the process as before this time concentrating on siphoning more of his chakra into what he was holding the second attempt was much better than the first with four shuriken forming and actually piercing the tree that's the ticket I bet you'll have it down soon enough Naruto complimented before calling Reena to partake in the show and tell moving to the edge of the shoreline thinking that the more moisture in the air the better Reena performed the hand seals for her own technique her right hand drifting down to the side where water seemed to grow from midair within her Palm the object that formed appeared similar to a whip it definitely had the length right the problem was that the water bubbled and wed threatening to pop at any moment H you've got it mostly down commented Naruto while staring at the whip in his sister's hand the only issue is that you are not focusing enough on the chakra while manipulating the shape of your water that's why it looks weird put more effort in that and you should be good to go Reena knew she hadn't gotten the technique down perfectly but it still rankled the girl that she didn't impress her brother by learning it all in one day huffing and plopping back down onto the ground Reena watched as s stood and walked a fair distance away from the three so as to not to risk their lives with the melting capabilities of his technique just as the other two before him SAS moved through the various seals to activate his Jutsu and drawing forward spouted out a stream of blistering hot fire from his mouth the tree that sake had targeted instantly burst into flames from the severe heat of the move the wood melting before their very eyes until only the charred Hulk of the tree remained standing that's the ticket congratulated Naruto clapping his hands together which served to irritate Reena even more SAS smirked back at the group purposely shooting a glance towards Reena before snapping his eyes back to his Sensei when he began to speak again although it took you a bit longer than most to draw the fire out you need to add a bit more chakra into the mix to really give it some move and you need to learn how to sustain the technique for more than 3 seconds it was sas's turn to scowl having thought that he had performed the technique perfectly like he always did seeming not to notice although the glint in his eyes proved otherwise Naruto assembled his team before him just like the day before since you all have seemed to have your individual technique down for the most part you are to work The Kinks out and train however you see fit for the rest of the day after Spar do more tree climbing whatever you think is best but don't just stop after you've worked out your problems in your jutsus you want improve otherwise I wish I could stay to help you guys out today but I've got a few more things I have to take care of that require my urgent attention Naruto said what the hell are you doing asked Reena curious at what could be drawing her brother's attention away from his team you'll find out later maybe maybe narut retorted with a teasing grin before turning his back to them and lifting his arm over his head in farewell just as he was about to depart he stopped and called back over his shoulder at the trio oh and if you manage to get your techniques down today it'll teach you something new tomorrow that's only if you perfect each of your jutsus though cuz I want if you don't and narut left at that giving his team something to work towards XXX tuna and an older man that Nar didn't recognize were arguing profusely when Naruto approached the bridge half an hour later narut could see the desperation in both from their movements and wondered what they could be arguing about when all was said and done the second man sighed before walking away barely registering Naruto's presence as he passed by the blonde turning to gaze back at the man his curiosity peaked Naruto swiveled back around and made his way over to tazuna carefully taking note the Aged Mon's agitation as he paced back and forth before the foot of the bridge so what was that all about came out Naruto as walked up to tazuna tazuna rotated his head towards Naruto before halting his pacing his body seeming to deflate he's just scared we all are what we're doing every day we risk not only our lives but also the lives of our friends and family can you imagine how stressful that is I can imagine the life of a Shinobi is difficult and we risk Our Lives all the time I am sure hell come around the problem is he's not the only one I've already lost four this week and at this rate I want have enough Builder come next week tun said morosely somewhat depressed as the thought once again plagued his mind well Naruto started what if I could find you some more men tuna snorted where do you expect to find more men all those that came here were the only ones willing to take the risk against go Naruto chuckled and tapped the side of his head really to Zuna San how do you think I've been guarding you all this time the man stared dumbly at narut by watching me you're half right there I have been watching you and I haven't this comment puzzled tuna greatly and seeing this Naruto flicked his hands up placing his fingers in The Familiar cross the action quickly followed by a puff of smoke after the smoke had cleared standing next to the blonde was a copy of himself both grinning cheekily at tuna I can make clones of myself I've had a clone watching you this entire time once tuna had gotten over his initial surprise his face became more serious the building boss within him coming to light as he asked and how's one air clone going to help me I need more than that that's not an issue some call me the one-man Army back in konaha I can make as many clones as you need see and after a moment and an explosion of smoke the ground around Naruto was crawling with his clones the number totaling up to 100 strong tune was speechless when he saw the sheer number the blonde could produce his eyes gazing across the large group this shocked however was soon replaced by a calculating look the Mon's mind racing and what would you let me do with these clones my dear tuna they are all yours to command do what you want with them some skills you might have to train since I might not be knowledgeable on some bridge building techniques but once you teach one they'll all know I assure you Naruto responded quite amused at the moment tazuna was definitely going to take advantage of the extra help and nodding ordered the group to split up into 10 groups with 10 Narutos set to each task that needed to be done some of the Clones took to mixing the concrete some carried wood planks to various areas along the already built Bridge other Narutos climbed up the side of the bridge with their feet an action that amazed the remaining group of workers that had stayed to finish the bridge and began hammering in Nails after observing the mass of Narutos working hard taking to their individual tasks with dedication and vigor a new problem arose for tazuna now instead of having two little workers he took note that he might not have enough jobs to offer the crowd of clones this however didn't bother the man nearly as much as having not enough workers and he ordered the Clones to wherever he considered needed help putting as many hammers chisels and other implements he could scr up into their hands until it appeared as though all had a job thank you Naruto San this will help greatly Nar waved his hand at the Gratitude not caring for it it's no problem really I am happy to help speaking of help I heard some rumors that someone with blonde hair hair built an entire orphanage in one night that wouldn't happen to have been you would it tuna asked Naruto rubbed the back of his head and laughed yeah it was I felt bad for those children forced to live like that is just terrible yes it is that's why I am trying to build this bridge this is the only way I can see of helping my people responded to Zuna an inner fire burning in his eyes fueling his ambition and dedication to the project at hand you're a good man tuna San speaking of the orphanage I noticed there were a lot of Orphans got didn't kill that many people here did he that seemed unlikely in my opinion Naruto queried tazuna didn't answer the question at first his eyes watching and observing his men and the Clones hard at work his workers smiling and laughing as they worked fueled by the happy and cheerful atmosphere the Clones working alongside them gave off the scene was something that was not often seen in his country since godd has arrived the billionaire followed by a wave of misery starvation and Desperation that infected the population of Wave Country how could that man be so evil so greedy to enact such desolation and destruction upon his people it was sick it was torture it was death for so many of wave's citizens they had been poor true but they had also been happy now a smile was a rare sight within the country that had kept on going with happiness before GDK arrival now a frown or a crying child was the norm how this rankled tuna greatly this project was his Redemption for his vice of alcohol to not do this was a sin in tuna's mind and he would be damned if he stopped for fear of death tuna San came nunk voice interrupting the man's thoughtful examination of his country's problems shaking his head tuna finally spoke up you asked about the orphans right narut nodded you're right even go wouldn't have killed that many men and women he would have lost too much money if he did the man is too greedy for that what did he do then narut questioned tazuna turned his back to the Bridge staring in the direction of his village as he spoke probably half of the orphans you saw have parents that are still alive when someone doesn't satisfy go he does two things he either destroys everything around them before killing them or he takes them away where we don't know we can only guess but we think the women are taken and sold as slaves and the man sent to work who knows where and this happens on a regular basis Naruto asked more than regularly we lose a few people every week got is bleeding us dry in every way possible answered tuna with a frown on his face well I w't let it continue on my watch narut said before creating five more clones of himself what do you intend to do came the voice of tazuna wondering what the blonde had planned I am going to get some much needed information just keep working on your bridge to Zuna San if you need help 'll know and with that Naruto sprinted away towards town with his clones XXX both the original Naruto and clones took to the streets of the small village each taking a sector so as to cover the maximum amount of ground in the shortest amount of time possible he wanted this to be finished quick not loving the prospect for what he was about to do moving through the village at a Brisk Pace it didn't take Naro to find exactly what he was searching for before the original Naruto two of gd's many goons were harassing a small store owner in whom was on all fours his head bowed to the ground as he tried to cover his head from the many hits the pair were enacting on the poor man when the man would try and block any kicks to his stomach one or both would then Target his head with the butt of their swords or with their feet never giving him a break this is a message from go pay or die really simple for an old man like you you should be grateful to him he's giving you a second chance said one grinding the heel of his boot into the back of the old man's hand the store owner gasped from the injury among many he had accumulated from the beating he was receiving he hadn't received any customers for the last 2 weeks and the taxes God o Levy on the citizens let alone on stores were incredibly high he barely had enough to buy food for him and his wife without the taxes and none with them because of that gotd had sicked some of his goons on the old man which had led to the confrontation presently please I can't pay it's just too much money pleaded the old man making to rise up only to be brutally knocked back down with a fist to the back of the head well that's a shame isn't it I guess you need a little more persuasion how about we cut your wife's hands and feet off then burn down your house around her how would you like the second goon commented suggestively drawing his Rusty hunting knife from his leather belt now that isn't very nice to say how about you apologize to him came a new voice from behind turning both hired Highwaymen saw Naruto standing just 5T away from them his arms crossed over his chest with a Stern expression on his face the posture wasn't what startled the two the most though no it was Naruto's dark eyes the seruan orbs boring into them so coldly that they both felt Shivers running down their spines feeling as though he was staring into their very Souls from that gaze however while quite unnerved by the tall imposing narut who appeared not as a weak old man but a seasoned veteran the two worked for GD so what could the man possibility do without finding gd's rage on him fueled by this thought the first of the duo Drew out his own knife walking towards Naruto with a superior snear oh yeah and who's going to make us do that you he asked hotly stopping in front of Nar and placing the sharpened edge of his knife up against the side of the blonde's throat Naruto raised an eyebrow appearing completely unfazed with the knife being pressed up against him in such a vital area no shred of worry lacing his handsome features I wouldn't advise that you don't eh well too bad no one orders us around unless it's Gotto and gets away with it came the response well I just told you to apologize so what are you going to do about that's it itk show you not to mess with us shot back the Goon before slicing his hand down holding the knife or tried to only for Naruto's hand to snap up faster than any eye could see his fingers locking about the Mon's wrist with an ironclad grip before the Goon could do anything at all to prevent the inevitable he heard bad choice I did warn you and then his wrist was painfully pulled to the side Naruto's fingers crushing it so hard that the bone broke under the pressure with an audible snap the man cried out as soon as the bone had been snapped Naruto releasing the wrist only for the thug to tug it back and press it against his chest to try and relieve any pain that he could snapping his head back to stare at his partner he yelled outsi kill him he ordered his voice laced over with pain the second goon sui seemed to hesitate for a moment daunted by the sheer speed the blonde had exhibited a moment ago but his anger quickly overruled any inhibitions he might have had letting out a Roar and shouting get away from sataro he ran forward knife arm raised high above his head and ready to snap it down at Naruto the first attack or any other attack would never hit Naruto easily dodging the attempted strike by taking a step back and turning his body to the side Naro avoided the downward cut aimed at his chest spurred on by the moment sui went flying by with his knife chopping moving in a chopping motion appearing as though to be moving in slow motion Nar reached out with his right hand at just the right moment grabbing at the front of sui's shirt and using the Mon's own momentum as an advantage Naruto yanked the man straight down throwing him down hard into the ground with as much strength as possible sui's air within his body escaped him immediately upon impact his lungs deflating significantly a fact that was soon followed by Naruto slamming the middle of his foot down onto his throat giving a Savage scowl Naruto applied a small amount of pressure through his foot not releasing his hold even under the miserable and feudal attempts by sui to rip the foot off of him holding the position for a few seconds wanting sui to suffer just a small amount for the old Mon's sake Naruto finally began to speak you know a common misconception about being choked or strangled is that when you gasping for air struggling to take in oxygen it's your lungs that are crying out in reality it's your brain screaming desperate to get oxygen while it slowly begins to die due to oxygen deprivation a condition more accurately termed hypo IA as Nar spoke sui's body began to progressively slow his hands grasping weakly at nar's ankle while his body began to slowly relax your body should be weakening you feel dizzy I bet I sound very far away don't I don't worry it's completely normal sataro seeing his partner taken down so easily began to slowly Edge away while seeking some kind of Escape Route out of this situation if he could only get away he might be able to find some of God's men and save his partner his process was halted however when a canai came flying out of nowhere burying to the hillt within the ground barely an inch from the tips of the Mon's feet and where do you think you're going get over here now narut snapped out removing his foot from sui's throat who violently inhaled air when the pressure was relieved from his windpipe sataro gulped but obediently complied with the order moving over to narut both of you get on your hands and knees narut barked out giving the pair a cold look his voice suggesting to them that they better do as he said or else sataro did as he was told dropping to the ground almost instantly however sui took a bit longer than he wheezing heavily from his throat crushing just moments prior but in the end he too struggled into the same position as his fellow Nar watched the pair cooly uncaring of any suffering or pain they might be going through after the show he had just witnessed between them and the defenseless Old Man how he hated bullies voicing his thoughts aloud Naruto said I despise those that use their Authority and power to control belittle and abuse those under them like you too just did it's shameful degrading and just outright distasteful for your actions I want you both to crawl on your knees too and here he looked towards the old man who looked on indifferently for a name abuko Sara abuko narut nodded towards the man before continuing on to Sara San then you will Express you sincerest apologize to him for what you did to him understood they both bobbed their heads Furious iously and accepting the agreement Naruto yelled out then get to it before kicking both in the rumps sending them flying for a split second both stumbled from the strength behind their respective kicks but not wishing to be harmed further by the strong man they scurried hurriedly towards abuko before placing their foreheads on the ground in front of the man we apologize for hitting you started sataro who was Then followed by sui saying and how we threatened you your wife and your probably very beautiful home here they both stopped before shouting out in unison we're sorry abuko stared down at the two grueling at his feet for a long moment his lips showing nothing but a frown apology most certainly not accepted you both can go rot in hell for all I care both men stiffened at that but did not move now not knowing what to do that wouldn't cause more harm to be inflicted upon them Naruto supplied the answer appearing behind them when he said hey guys both lifted their heads off the ground to eye the blonde and Naruto quickly whacked both on the back of the head knocking them out unconscious their bodies slumping to the ground unceremoniously nicely done Naruto San commented abuko with appreciation filling his voice well pleased with how his former assaulter had been treated you're very welcome but might I ask how do you know my name came Naruto's questioning reply this is a very small fishing Town Naruto San word about you spread fast after your stunt of single-handedly building the orphans a new home yesterday abuko answered with a smile a well it was nothing really I was more than happy to help you're a very humble young man I must say Naruto San most would have taken advantage somehow in similar circumstances I've met my fair share of ninja in my life but never have I seen such caring and modest one as yourself and here abuko leaned forward conspiratorially personally I am rooting for you guys into T Zuna San just to let you know I don't like what's happening here just as much as the next guy I DB on that bridge helping as much as I could if my body would allow it the back you know narut offered a chuckle at the comment before bowing his head we plan to succeed and get this country back on its feet one way or another which reminds me I need to get these two someplace to uh procure information concerning go abuko stared at Naruto with a hard gaze before giving a nod of his own whatever you must do then to succeed the life of a Shinobi must indeed be hard I can only imagine what you have done in your very short life Naro stiffened quite noticeably recovering quickly he created two clones to carry the two thugs before turning his back to abuko making to leave Naruto took a few steps before stopping his face not even turned in abuko direction as he spoke I've done many things in my life sarasan things that could be considered both good and bad but most of what I've done has been to grow and make sure my sister is safe in this cruel and unforgiving World many would argue the world is full of nothing but love and happiness where no one can possibly do wrong however for those that have seen both the light and dark sides of the world as I have I cannot agree with these people a Shinobi works in the shadows from start to finish we take and accept the burdens that most would never ever want to have in some of these burdens we carry for the entirety of Our Lives it is all for the sake of balance not peace I constantly wonder if there ever was or will be peace and if so where I can find it were we truly ever meant to understand each other or is life simply about survival and happiness that is almost always shortlived due to life almost certainly becoming unbalanced I have yet to find answers for the questions I ask myself but I will continue to endure in this cruel place we call life if only in the hope of achieving and creating a place where those I find precious can live peacefully without having to worry about anything finishing his small speech Naruto left the old man then and there his two clones carrying the bodies of the two thugs quickly following right behind him abuko watched the young man leave hope swelling in his old frame for the first time since Go's arrival if what he understood from Naruto's words were true then there was really nothing for old abuko to worry about as Naruto had said he would place the burden upon his shoulders the burden of ridding this country of GD by any means necessary what an amazing and self-sacrificing young man you are Naruto San he said before turning and disappearing back into his tiny shop XXX Naruto a orted his two victims for in actuality they were truly that out of the village ever since the beginning of his career as a Shinobi never once had he enjoyed the particular art of torture coupled with interrogation unlike anko and iiki who both reveled in either bodily or mentally attacking their prisoners for information respectively Naruto was not like them while he saw the bad in the world he also saw the good in the act of torturing someone was just vile to him to bring about the pain and misery of another in his opinion made him no different than the goons he was about to wrestle information out of while necessary to bring about the downfall of go Naruto was not going to enjoy one moment of his coming actions and his mouth began to secrete itself with an ill tasting vess associated with doing something distasteful walking along a small winding dirt path and putting a fair amount of distance between himself and the fishing Town Naruto prepared himself knowing that the more information he got out of the two the better his sisters and team te chances were at surviving in the current situation would be while he could have sent for aid from konaha he had no messenger Hawks to speed the process up enough to matter any clones he might send back home would disappear long before reaching the destination due to not having enough chakra to sustain itself even if he could manage to get a message back to the Village there was absolutely no possible way for any form of reinforcements to reach their position in time no Nar needed information and he needed it now Naruto's clones dropped their cargo off each binding their respective loads tightly up against a tree with rope before poofing out of existence reaching into a pocket Naruto Drew out a specific scroll that was meant for occasions like this the items within a birthday gift from anko herself while he didn't expect the two to put up much resistance you never really could tell with some people releasing the items from the scroll with a small infusion of his chakra Naruto stared down at an assortment of tools at his disposal taking in the wickedly edged weapons the many types of poisons the differently sized Hammers and so much more removing four vials of sleeping salts from a small compartment two for each man narut stared down at the duo once again preparing himself for what he must do breaking the vials he bent down before wafting one vial after another just beneath the noses of the two the ammonia gas entering their systems causing the muscles controlling their breathing to tighten instantly waking both up from their unconscious sters the two snaap their heads up blinking continuously as they took in their present situation something they did not take kindly to once they realized they were tied up with Naruto standing over them what the hell is this let us go yelled sui his body struggling to get out of the tight Embrace his ropes were currently giving him sadly that won't be happening anytime soon I am afraid Naruto responded his eyes wandering and going over the wide selection of Implements of torture he could use why not we did what you said and apologized came sato's slightly hysterical voice well that's the thing you wouldn't have done that if I hadn't stepped in or hadn't beaten both your pitiful asses Naruto retorted cooly drawing a dagger like weapon both sides of the blade serrated from tip to Hilt both gulped audibly at that knowing it was the truth but neither spoke up at the accusation due to not wanting to pjer themselves in the process Nar stood up after selecting his first weapon of choice turning to stare without a single shred of remorse down at his two victims gone was the normally jovial constantly smiling Naruto in his place now was an emotionless man his face set and Grim his blue eyes dark and frozen over in his seriousness now then I need information on go since you both work for him I assume one or both of you know something I will say this though before I start the man that gives me the most information will walk away from here alive the other will be killed simple as that now who wants to start talking sataro and sui turned their heads to stare at the other both sets of eyes showing fear and a slight desperation however while spineless in most cases put in a life or death situation like this and both having grown up together their faces became more Resolute sataro might have tried to run away before but he had doubted Naruto would actually kill sui and had wanted to get help then he guessed this time though things were different sataro sensed that Naruto would not hesitate now and that fact fact scared the man shitless yet even with that thought running through his head he would not betray the trust he had forged over countless years with his friend for something even like this no he would take whatever Nar had to give and endure it all no matter what I see came nunk voice I didn't really want to do this but you two leave me no choice needing to warm up a bit narut crouched beside sui's body grabbing at the Mon's left arm he gripped it with a tight hold the hold giving the thug a small amount of discomfort waiting a few seconds to make sure the blood in the chosen arm had built up somewhat Nar placed one of the serrated edges against the underside of sui's forearm moving Naruto then drew it across the surface of his skin drawing a long deep gash ever so slowly and watching as the skin split apart bid by painful and agonizing bid beneath the sharp blade sui gritted his teeth refusing to yell out lest he appear weak and give Nar the satisfaction of seeing the pain he was going through watching as the cut l LED he saw his blood gush forth from the wound the heavy liquid dribbling down his arm as more and more Spilled Out from the cut Naruto had inflicted Naruto stopped after he had reached the 5-in Mark staring at sui's grimacing face and offering a tight squeeze around the forearm that caused the man to Yelp out from the sharp jab he felt Ricochet up his arm so where can I find got screw you bastard shouted a pain sui unable to stop the excessive bleeding on his arm and already feeling slightly woozy from the blood loss wrong answer Naruto said sharply before slicing two equally long and gaping Cuts just above the first wound after adding the two extra incisions Naruto then pulled out a small pouch he had placed in his pocket moments prior drawing on the strings he opened the bag before turning it over sprinkling some of the contents over the three cuts the salt pouring forth covering the wounds and causing sui to release a small agonized Yelp for sui the sensations he was receiving from his arm were excruciating the arm both stung and frogged the ions introduced into his system from the salt causing an imbalance of positive and negative charges within his arm thus resulting in a severe response of action potential to occur his arm sending out the signal of pain through his nervous system tsuchi it just hurt badly plain and simple hey you [ __ ] hurt me not him sataro bellowed out it didn't sit well on the man to see his friend and partner abused in such a way if he could help it oh well if you insist Naruto said drawing away from sui and instead focusing his Gaze on sataro now reaching towards his roll full of tools narut Drew out a pair of pliers from the bag letting sataro get a good look at his choice and inwardly disgusted with himself when he saw the flash of fear in the Mon's eyes narut guided the pliers in the direction of sato's right hand while singing eenie meany miny mo catch a bastard by his toe if he hollers choose that finger and if he resists that pain will linger here narut stopped his rhyme the plier tips resting on sataro right index finger immediately clamping down on the fingernail he wiggled the pliers in his hand before yanking the nail slowly out of the base of the finger literally tearing the nail from the muscle connecting it to the finger bit by bit sataro couldn't hold back the scream that followed the beginning of his torture his head snapping back against the side of the tree pressing into his back and Howling out his distress this was way more pain than he had initially envisioned he would feel and it Hur like hell successfully ripping the nail off Nar then clamped his tool on the next appendage over the middle finger there he repeated the process once again doubling sataro pain so you going to tell me what I want to know now or not Naruto nonchalantly questioned throwing the nail away into the bushes F [ __ ] you sataro managed to get out through tightly clenched teeth his hand throbbing narut sighed at that before aimlessly shrugging your choice and reached for four simple canai suddenly without any warning he swiftly drove the tips of each into one of sato's Limbs two in the middle of his thighs and the other two buried to the hilts in both forearms blood erupted everywhere from each Thrust splattering out in all directions covering both Naruto and sui who watched on in horror at the cruelty of their captor sataro screams piercing and reverberating through his head as the man cried out in pain narut watched on in distaste watching as satara arrived and yelled out in pain a pain that the blonde himself had inflicted he had thought this would be easier completely underestimating the pair in front of him he hadn't wanted to do this but circumstances demanded it this would surely get at least one of them to talk grabbing up a syringe and a specific vial filled with a clear liquid he Uncorked the container before carefully drawing the liquid up into the syringe placing the vial back he then turned to his two victims letting out a small stream of what he had placed Within his tool sataro seemed to be the more resilient of the two in Naruto's opinion so he would focus the next treatment on sui and see where that got him either of you know what this is asked Naruto casually indicating the filled syringe he was holding with a small Shake of the wrist receiving no answer he went on to explain this is a toxin designed and created by kah's torture and interrogation Department it's a toxin that overloads the pain receptors within a human's body in a way that amplifies any pain received tenfold a simple paper cut feels like a hot blade cutting you a poke feels like you're being stabbed and so on it's really quite effective the only question is who am I going to inject his eyes flicking between the two for any type of reaction both gazed fearfully at Naruto's hand and both were thinking along the same lines if it could do all that how long could they really last no volunteers such a shame seems I get to choose then narut said before moving over to crouch beside sui who in response shook violently trying desperately to get away and out of his bindings his teeth barred as he used as much force as he could muster against the ropes no no no get away from me he cried out attempting to get as far away from his torturer as he possibly could Nar saw the fear the Fright the sheer Terror on sui's face but it was he and Satori not Nar that had let the situation escalate to this no matter how much he hated doing this he really had no choice in the matter idly tapping the tip of the syringe against sui's arm Naruto began to speak you know this doesn't have to happen you could just tell me what I want to know and avoid the sheer Agony that I've seen this toxin give to people can you imagine just how much pain you'll feel it's like a lifetime of continuously built up pain that you'll feel for just a few minutes I've witnessed some people even die so excruciating it felt I wonder will you be one of those people will you die from all the pain I guess there's only one way to find out how Naruto hated appearing like anko this wasn't who he was at all but he had to give the Persona of one whom enjoys treating his prisoners as play things hearing no response besides whimpers Naruto snapped his free hand out his fingers locking about sui's neck just below his chin forcing the Mon's head up he exposed the various veins and blood vessels traveling up and down through the particular area targeting a main vessel known as the kateed artery just below the jawline narut lined up the syringe and readied himself self last chance he said quietly putting pressure on the blood vessel without puncturing skin none of the two spoke up and Naro side very well get ready for the pain he exclaimed before drawing his hand back and acting to jab the tip of the syringe into sui's neck wait came a sudden voice from the side something Naruto was not at all surprised to hear halting his strike the metal tip just millimeters from sui's neck Nar turned his head to place his attention on sataro yes Naruto drawled out refusing to let his hand drift a single breathe away holding it in place while he waited for sataro to speak I itk tell you everything you want to know just don't hurt sui sataro said looking down at the ground even if sui died from him speaking up at least it would hopefully be quick and painless versus a cruel and pain wrecked ending he would have experienced otherwise Nar Drew himself away from sui standing to his full height over were the two his brow raised in question oh you will well that's great tell me where I can find go he's about 8 miles to the east he built a giant mansion out there sataro answered meekly and how many guards would you say he has over a 100 normal guards but he's hired a few ninja and Samurai to guard him Naruto's brows furrowed at the news knowing this Mission had just grown exponentially more dangerous for him and his team these ninja are they missing nin by any chance sataro nodded his head furiously yes they are two of them are Zabuza and his partner I don't know what happened to the other two that were with them but they haven't come back narut pondered over that he would need to rethink his strategy a little now besides that he needed to find out who these enemy Shinobi were first rummaging through one of his back pouches he drew out a small black book with various pieces of paper marking specific Pages if I was to show you a list of photos would you be able to tell me which the ninja hired he asked opening to the first page of the Bingo book he always carried receiving a nod in confirmation Naruto approached sataro and told him to Signal when he recognized someone the process went on for a few minutes simply due to the sheer number of bounties sataro informing Naruto when he saw one of those hired by GD to which Naruto marked down accordingly once the process was completed Naruto placed the book back in his pouch before quickly analyzing the information he now had there were four other ninja besides Zabuza and his partner that Naruto and his team now had to deal with and the identities of the extra Shinobi was nothing to laugh about GD had hired some seriously strong Shinobi to work for him yag usaki Hai the Black Hand of iwa was an irank missing nin who held the kekai Jen of Steel release he was considered a ruthless fighter who killed his victims by either ripping them limb from limb or literally beating them to death with his metal enhanced strength kuki gri the speed demon was classified as as an irank missing nin who used his Clan's Swift release to use the advantage of speed to wipe out his enemies prior to running away from Kumo he had wiped out two entire squads of Shinobi out of spite for their captains Naruto had heard of the man but had never had the pleasure of meeting him in battle to see who was indeed faster he supposed he would get his chance soon enough watasha joku and watasha Rista were twin B ranked ninjas that used their skills to complement the other in order to deck out powerful attacks and defense they had no nickname but from their history they would be difficult to counter unless one could separate them narut mowed over the four unconsciously pairing up the missing nin with his own jenin while he didn't desire for the confrontation between the group and his team to actually occur a team leader must always be prepared for all possible outcomes including the worst case scenario whether he liked it or not it was better to be prepared for anything than not it was a cough that brought Naruto out of reflection blinking and shifting his gaze towards his two bound victims he resettled his thoughts on the current situation at hand what was he going to do with these two knowing that godd could never figure out his men had given up information to the enemy narut then realized what he had to do and he did not like the decision pushing down his revulsion for having to do this Naruto reached back into his pouch once again withdrawing a canai offering the two before him a grim expression he approached them Kai wielding hand cocked to the side and ready to strike sataro and sui saw all this saw the approaching form of narut with Kai in hand and began to freak out while it hurt to move and strain against their bindings the instinctual reaction towards oncoming death fueled their actions and dulled the pain originating from their wounds please no we told you what you wanted cried sataro Terror stricken across his face as he continued to struggle it's nothing personal really can't have got knowing about this little chat Naruto replied stopping before sui well leave well go far away we W tell God we promise sui exclaimed quite desperately I can't risk you telling him with my sister and team and all being here came Naruto's voice before he snapped his wrist forward the tip of his canai slicing across sucha throat a thin but well-placed Crimson line began to stretch across sucha neck blood spurting forth from the cut almost immediately causing the man to ggle as his Airway rapidly filled up with his own blood it didn't take long for sui to die his eyelids fluttering his eyes dimming and then finally his head slumped forward his body going limp in death sataro watched it all with wide eyes his mouth slightly open as he witnessed the death of his lifelong friend and partner they had always been at the other side since the beginning and now sui was gone gone at the hands of this blonde man they had met just a short time ago sato's mind couldn't handle it and snapping his head back to face Naruto he began to angrily Shout at the man you [ __ ] you you piece of [ __ ] ill kill you ill [ __ ] key and his words were stopped as a canai buried itself in his wind pipe he didn't seem to realize at first his lips forming the words he now could not give voice to his eyes however stared straight ahead unfocused with the icy glaze of death creeping across them before he simply slumped forward his body limped Naruto gazed upon the two formerly very much alive men his lips set in a scowl he never enjoyed killing no sane man would and a multitud ude of varying emotions flickered through him he felt angry with himself for having to kill these men he felt sad that they had to die he felt relieved by the fact that his sister and team were a little bit safer he felt thankful he had some information to work with now shaking his head to clear his thoughts he crouched down beside each body cutting them from their bindings creating two clones he then ordered them to carry the bodies to the nearest river and dump them with rocks tied to them so that their bodies wouldn't be seen floating on the water's surface watching until his clones had disappeared into the fringes beyond the small clearing he had chosen for his interrogation Naruto then cleaned his tools off before packing them away in their respective scroll not even looking back at the two trees standing stoically side by side splatters of red blood beginning to dry on the bark in the ground about them Naruto left with the information he had forcefully taken from two men whose names he didn't even know their lives mere tick marks added to Naruto's ever growing kill count XXX it didn't take long for Nar to find got's base of operation within the country after traveling for half an hour due east narut easily spotted the enormous Mansion standing out from the surrounding area the trees around the building barely reaching a height to match half the height of the immensity for narut the sheer size of the Mansion proved to him that go was compensating for something enjoyed appearing above others or both watching from a high hanging limb a fair distance away narut did what every Shinobi should do when entering a new area with the possibility of attacking or being attacked he watched Naruto spent over an hour watching The Mansion mentally counting up the large number of thugs he saw wandering the wall ramparts climbing up flights of stairs or aimlessly walking around with his calculations the group numbered near 100 just as he had been informed they would be easy to handle enough so Naruto refocused his efforts on trying to spot any of the four Ninja that had apparently been hired by gotd after another 20 minutes and spotting no one that resembled any of the four narut then wondered if maybe they were off somewhere else with that possible theory in mind the blonde moved closer towards the Mansion pressing his chakra levels down to almost nothing so as not to give anything for the enemy to possibly sense while he approached his Target darting from tree to tree he drew closer occasionally stopping his progress to examine his surroundings for any enemies before moving on to his next hiding location when at last Naruto had reached the shadowy edges of the wall surrounding the Mansion he immediately tied ninja line to a canai whirling it quickly he flicked his wrists up the canai shooting straight up before curving over and around one of the stone columns and wrapping about itself giving the line a quick tug Naruto tightened its hold before darting vertically up the side of the wall his feet beating strongly against the hard Stone as he ran up the side reaching the top he kept to the Shadows moving only when he had made sure the guards were not looking it didn't take Naruto long to one of first floor Windows belonging to the compound crouching beneath his ticket into the Mansion Naro unfastened the long cloak he had hooked to himself muttering a quiet kakorin no no Jutsu cloak of invisibility technique he applied the bare minimum of chakra needed to activate the rank technique before he flung the cloak over his head the fabric falling to his feet knowing that now there was little chance for the hired thugs to spot him Naruto used the tip of a canai to work the windows latch easily managing to unlock it before leaping inside the Mansion landing on his feet and crouching low Naruto moved through the decorated hallways of the large State flicking from one passageway to the next it might have been easier to use his variation of the herian but because of the chakra pulse that followed each use he couldn't risk using the technique lest any enemy Shinobi that might be in the Mansion detected and come to investigate using the cloak of invisibility technique allowed him to not only blend into the environment around him but the technique itself used used virtually no chakra at all for the next 10 minutes narut moved through the various halls and rooms within the Mansion finding nothing it was only when he heard the loud shouting did he know he was on the right path a small round Man Came bursting through the door just ahead of the concealed Naruto in front of him sprawled out on the floor with her hands covering her face sat a young woman with the telltale signs of a hard beating covering various areas that were visible on her barely clothed form narut had to hold himself back when the man nailed the woman in the face with a closed fit sending her shooting back hard how dare you ask to be let go I've clothed you fed you and given what a [ __ ] like you obviously wants what more can you possibly think you need yelled the man his face suffused with anger please God Osama I just want to go home my little boy needs his mother came the rather demurred answer the woman holding a hand to her cheek to rub the inflicted area oh just let me kill her came a deep rumbling base voice from behind go emerging from the Shadows with his arms crossed a big man appeared his skin was tan his hair black and his face showing the excitement towards his suggestion now now Howry what fun would that be we should at least let her have a 10-minute Head Start came another lighter but still male voice from how's left came a tall light figure in whom Naruto analyzed was the speed demon G I disagree we should just kill her and be done with it two voices were were heard and from how's other side appeared a man and a woman both appearing exactly the sign except for the telltale signs of their gender and hairstyle got looked from one to the next pondering over their suggestions before shaking his head no this taale is too great just to just kill if one of you wants to go get her boy and bring me the husband's head that would be Splendid got suggested purposely avoiding any words that might be even remotely sound as if he was ordering the four the four seemed to think over that suggestion but the answer came when Howry snorted out too much work the other three bobbed their heads in agreement and got side in resignation for the loss of his plan fine but you guys better not be this lazy come a few days I am not paying you to just sit around here all day and do nothing you guys better remember the plan we discussed Howry growled but it was G that answered yeah yeah we remember Zabuza goes and kills those little konaha ninja and we wait until we think Zabuza can't handle them or he's killed the konaha scum off either way Zabuza is going to die and it's about damn time so they're going to double cross Zabuza interesting Naruto observed I expect you guys to do what I hired for you I heard from Zabuza that one of the Ninja konaha scent is known something as the yellow gate air or was it the yellow trait that comment gained instant attention from the four Missing Ninja who snapped their heads around to stare at go are you telling me that the yellow wraith of konaha is with this group of ninja came G's excited question his eyes glinting with eagerness according to Zabuza who lost to him yes that weakling Howry began to Bellow out in Amusement his deep laugh echoing through the Mansion oh this is just great this job just got a whole lot better imagine the yellow wraith being here perfect I am definitely getting a piece of him not if I do first I want to see how fast he really is G snapped out and he and Howry stared long and hard at one another their eyes showing they would not easily give up their newest Target it was Howry that finally relented from the deadlock State saying fine whoever gets to him first gets to have him I just better be able to kill something got watched on with questioning eyes but thinking the situation well in hand nodded his head good you guys do that and you better not fail me it wasn't even a split second after the comment was made that gotd found a canai pressed against his throat the light male voice of G being heard just from behind now now got we don't like our abilities being put into question of course well kill the yellow wraith that goes without saying your job however is to sign our checks every day and you better not fail at that or it's the end of you got it got gulped keenly feeling the metal pressing into his throat but having dealt with these types of people all his life he kept his composure and nodded good G drawled out before he removed the canai from got's throat and walked back over to his fellow ninja got rubbed at his throat experimentally checking for any injuries when he found none he scowled in G's Direction before turning his head to Lear down at the woman still sprawled out on the floor near him an inner excitement spreading through him now then time for a little early celebrating I think you'll do very nicely he then grabbed at The Quiet Woman not even lifting her up to her feet before literally dragged her down the hall the female kicking the entire way with tears rolling from her eyes as she struggled against the tight hold the four ninjas stared after the way got had left but all Shrugged before moving off down the same hallway their job was to guard and guard they would whether they enjoyed it or not Naruto moved into the middle of the now vacant hallway his head turned towards the corridor that Gotto had disappeared down his eyes showing the fury he refused to let loose at the moment he desperately wished to go after the pair not wishing the woman to experience what he almost knew was going to happen but knew that the mission at hand depended on him remaining in cognito plus the fact that he to seem to be watched 24/7 by his hired guard gave little room to actually get to the man before being stopped and attacked by either one of those four Ninja while he could easily fend off any attacker narut didn't want to fight right now in addition the plan he had come up with to truly give back to Wave Country would die a boring if gotd were actually dead before he could start and finish what he had come up with growling away his frustration at having to leave the woman in gd's Despicable hands Naruto moved into the office that he could only assume belong to gato closing the door quietly behind him narut peered about the room eyes flicking here and there as he took note of the many cameras secretly recording still hidden beneath his cloak narut moved from One camera to the next yanking out the wires from the back of each removing the cloak narut moved to the desk at the far end of the room opening the drawers he withdrew the many folders within and flipping the first open Naruto snorted after reading over the contents completely legitimate and legal how like go to put these out in the open Nar thought before reading over the rest of the folders seeing all transactions were legal Nar placed the folders back in their respective drawers before looking around searching for any place that might contain documents that godd didn't want falling into the wrong hands seeing no evident signs of a hidey-hole of any sort narut began to wander his hands tracing across any object that might be suspect of hiding a secret button it was when Naruto pulled on the bust of God's Stone head that an audible click Was Heard followed by the sliding of a panel turning Naruto now saw a hole in the wall behind got's desk snorting once again this time at how egotistical and self-centered got appeared to Naruto moved towards the hole where he found a small electronic safe embedded into the wall now knowing there were in fact people who might be able to sense any sort of chakra discharge Naruto pulled the safe out and placed it on got's desk he knew several ways to open a safe like this and decided to try the easiest of the set techniques banging on the top left corner of the safe whilst turning the lock at the same moment Naruto grinned in success when the door gave and open without resistance not wasting any time Naruto pulled out the many files crammed into the small space the safe allowed looking through the first folder Naruto's anger and disgust spiked from what he was reading well-documented profiles of women ranging from 14 all the way to 45 filled the folder each profile marked with a specific price and thec for where the woman was to be sent to controlling his ever mouning anger towards go narut read through the rest of the files each containing information illustrating G's illegal transactions whether they be related to his slave trafficking vast network of drug dealing or his trade agreements concerning weapons and banned Contraband Naruto had all the evidence here and it was bittersweet for the blonde for one thing he had all he needed to bring go to Justice however no amount of jail time could serve as just punishment for the vile acts and atrocity Gotto had committed no narut would deal with this personally he would personally put everything in order first starting with gok death placing all the evidence in an empty storage scroll Naro cleaned up any proof that might suggest his intrusion satisfied with his work after a few moments of examination Naruto hesitated when he was about to leave moving back over to the desk he searched the drawers until he found gd's checkbook grinning wickedly at the prospect of literally bleeding God dry of all his wealth Naruto placed the checkbook in his pocket before flashing out of the room XXX it was evening when Naruto finally returned to tuna's household his team had returned from their training dead tired and all three lay sprawled out in some fashion in the living area taking in their current state Naruto could only smile down in fondness for his young Team all striving to better themselves sitting down at the kitchen table and thanking tsunami when she was kind enough to bring him a bowl of hot stew Naruto relaxed for the first time that day now able to think over what he had learned the prospect of having so many dangerous foes made Naruto scrunch his brows together his mind going through various scenarios that hopefully would end with his team coming out of this Mission alive and whole these ninja weren't some of the low-class Minions that got always kept at hand these were the real deal on his own Naruto could have taken them on but it would have taken time in doing so time which Naruto would not have with current circumstances now he had a team to worry about an inexperienced team comprised of young jenin that held very little battle experience and in whom were liabilities that had the potential to be captured mid battle if push came to shove and Naruto was forced into a situation of surrendering for the lives of his team he would without question give up there lied the problem now if only I could get Zabuza on our side narut considered for now he had valuable information that concerned the man the question was would Zabuza believe him Nar was startled from his Ry when the voice of young Inari pierced through the relatively quiet room why do you all try so hard you're all just going to die go will kill you team 7 opened their eyes at that all turning their heads to face the young boy whose fists were tightly clenched at his sides in Fury it was Shino with his usual cool stare that spoke up in response why do you say such thing Inari San you have no knowledge of our capabilities our strength or our experiences in battle it is quite illogical to utter such comments without the evidence to back up such claims Inari huffed at that slamming his fists down onto the table you have no clue who you up against got's way too powerful he can't be beat SAS stared straight at Inari before snorting stretching his arms above his head if you giving up on life that's fine by me but stop annoying those of us who still want to do our jobs and live Inari grew angrier at that comment rising to his feet before pointing viciously at SAS HEK going to kill you you have no idea you don't even know Shino cleared his throat to stop any rude rebuttal from SAS addressing Inari once more your viewpoint on our current situation is highly illogical we have yet to formulate a plan to combat godd so how would you know how or if we will die we are trained from a very young age in konaha and the concept of death is not lost on a Shinobi we are taught death is inevitable and we will all go through the process however even though we are aware death will eventually find us we do not accept death no matter how near it might might be Shinobi struggle against death all the time death is a possibility we face each time we go on a mission yet we do not accept death only the weak do such and we are not allowed to be weak Reena decided here was a good time to put in her two cents sheo is right we can't give up now if we do your grandfather's life is over your mother's life is over we can't let that happen no matter how much fear we might have plus it's not only us that are fighting go either both tsunami and tuna San and a lot of the vill are risking their lives by going against go I know you're scared a lot of us are but life is always scary do you see your grandfather stopping because he's scared of course not the only thing we can do is fight against the roadblocks we come upon in life to get to the next step got is that roadblock here and we have to beat him to stop what's going in this country can you understand enari San Inari stared for a long moment at Reena before he simply bolted up the stairs to his room both tsunami and tuna immediately apologized for inari's Behavior they then told the sad tale of inari's adopted father who had been executed for rebelling against godd when no one would the story seemed to affect all listening to varying degrees but all redid their vows to stop God's terrible Reign on Wave Country and return the happiness that had forcefully been Stripped Away I end the story here
