Declaimer: I don’t own Naruto

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

On a dark cloudy night, a man who looked to be nineteen stood in the middle of a field of white flowers. This young man stands at a height of about 179 cm tall. He has long golden blonde spiky hair that goes down to his waist. There are three whisker like scars on each cheek. His irises are a dull blue boarding on grey. His face is an angular shape with no trace of baby fat of his younger years. He is wearing a red shirt with a black and white wing design on the back and black cargo pants. On his back is two scabbards in a crossed position. The first scabbard is red and has a long black wingless dragon going up from the beginning to the end of it. The other scabbard is pure black with a gold colored wingless dragon going from the beginning of the scabbard to the end.

There are three necklaces on with a crystal on them. The first is a red crystal hanging around his neck on a golden chain. The second was purple on a silver chain wrapped around his right wrist, and finally a blue crystal also on a silver chain but around his left wrist. He has a muscular build but not overly so.

In both of his hands is a O-katana. The first in his right hand is at a length of 5 inches overall. The katana has a circular guard that has a dragon going around on the flat side. The hilt is wrapped with red nylon cloth, and the blade is a white color and is glowing. In his left hand is a O-katana of the same length. It has a circular guard that looks like a dragon and the hilt is wrapped with black nylon cord. The blade of the katana is a black color that is glowing.

The young man closed his eyes before tilting his head back. He opened his eyes and looked at the darkened clouds that covered the sky. Both swords started to pulsate in his hands as a drop of water landed on his face. “How did it turn out like this?” He asked himself as more water showered him. “To be hated by my used to be friends and teachers then banished from my home. The gods must really hate me or the devil must really love screwing me over.” He said lowly. Suddenly the light shower turned into a downpour that shrouded his vision. The man simply closed his eyes, a small sad smile appearing on his face. The streets of the village are empty now, it had been for the last hour. That much he knew. There were a few ninja in the trees surrounding the flower field watching him but none dared enter his sanctuary. He knew this. He could feel several of them, his training in the way of the sword and as a ninja made his senses almost perfect. He knew who they were, he felt them so many times before but he didn’t care enough about them to acknowledge them around him.

He was at peace in this area, in his flower field, where few could or would trend. For him the now heavy down pour of rain allowed him a brief, peaceful time where no memories would enter his mind nor would his power surface without him wanting it too. He knew that much because it was always the same on days like this.

“For some reason I think… that this was the best way it could have turned out.” He said before chuckling lightly. He shifted his head downward and opened his eyes. "It's strange...but I really don't feel anything...Even if at a subconscious level i knew this would happen...there should be some type of emotion from me. I must be too unstable to actually feel anything anymore." He said looking at his right hand. “Hn, is this the fate of a Jinchuuriki or is it just my fate?” He asked.

“I thought you didn’t believe in fate…Naruto?” A feminine voice rang out. Naruto looked to his left to see a young woman stop just within hearing range of him, where he could hear her without her yelling or talking loudly. He took in her appearance for a spilt second before looking away. She is about 168.2 cm tall with an athletic build, c-cup bust size, and an hourglass figure. Her long wet brown hair that went down to her thighs and light brown colored irises. She has on a blue jeans and a white shirt that was drenched, stuck to her body.

“What are you doing here Natsume-san?” Naruto asked. The woman looked at him with a sad expression on her face as the rain continued to pour on the two.

“I came here to talk and please…just call me by my first name.” She said taking a deep breathe.

“You came to talk now of all times?” Naruto asked as he shifted the grip on his katana into a reverse grip. He pointed the tips of the blades towards the ground. Aya’s eyes went down to the crystal hanging from his left wrist, the same crystal that she returned to him.

"I got this feeling…that if I didn’t talk to you now that we wouldn’t talk at all.” Aya said to him.

“I see. Does your cousin know?” He asked charging chakra into his swords which started to pulsate at a faster rate.

“No.” She answered. She watched as he lowered the blades towards the ground. The tips pierced the earth easily and continued down until five inches was completely encased in earth. A small seal appeared around the blades glowing orange before disappearing. Naruto let go of the blades and turned towards Aya with his eyes closed.

“You know she will be angry.” Naruto said.

“I know but…I need answers.” She said. Naruto opened his eyes and looked at her. Aya stared into his eyes seeing eyes of someone who has given up hope. Her hand shook as she tried to avert her eyes to something else, anything else but failed.

“You need answers?” Naruto asked in a disbelieving tone. “I didn’t think that you would be the one who says that to me.” Naruto said. “But I guess I’m proven wrong once again.” Naruto said more to himself then to her.

“Naruto…”

“What do you need answered?” He asked cutting her off. She opened her mouth trying to say something but the words wouldn’t come. After a few minutes of silence Naruto turned from her. “Hm...If you are not going to ask then I will be on my way. There a still a few things i must pack anyway.” Naruto said before he started to walk. She watched him trying to come with the words. She clutched her fist tightly as she gritted her teeth and closed her eyes.

“Why?! Why did you attack Konoha? Why did you kill all those people? Why did you…Why did you...” Aya shouted out before stopped. She looked at Naruto who stopped walking at her questions. He turned to her with a emotionless look. He tilted his head at her before turning around again.

“Why do you want to know?” Naruto asked.

“Maybe if…” Aya started.

“Maybe if what? I tell her and if it’s good enough she would reverse the order of my banishment? Sorry Aya but that isn’t a good enough reason.” Naruto said a little too harshly. ‘Then again…I shouldn’t even be getting banished.’

“What do you mean that’s not a good enough reason?” Aya asked surprised.

Naruto said nothing as he turned around and started walking towards her. After he got fivesteps from her she took a step back as if she was afraid of him. He stopped and looked at her with a frown. “What would be the point of staying? I no longer can get in five steps of you without you taking a step back. Maya won’t even look at me without a glare. Anko and Jiraiya don’t even see me as their student anymore. It won’t change anything it will only make things worst.” Naruto said his voice in a monotone.

“You…you don’t know that.” Aya said with her head down.

“… I kinda do.” Naruto said his pupils changing into slits. He turned back around and began to walk away. “Go back home before you get sick. No good will come from learning the truth.” Naruto said.

Aya looked at him tears falling down her face mixing with the rain. She couldn’t leave it as it was. To her, even after everything he had don’t and all the pain he caused, she still cared for him and didn’t want him to leave. Before she realized it she was right behind him with his left hand in between her hands. “Please Naruto.” She pleaded on her knees. Naruto looked at her with a sad look.

“Aya, the truth of my actions will only cause you more pain.” Naruto said.

“You don’t know that.” Aya said as more tears ran down her face.

“I do because the truth is still painful for me.” Naruto said kneeling down while removing his left from her hands. Aya looked up at him as Naruto raised his right hand. He stopped midway and lowered his hand again. Aya noticed it and quickly caught his hand. She raised it to her face and nuzzled it. Naruto gave her a smile before leaning down and placing his forehead on top of her head. He took in her scent smiling warmly. “I…I think it would be better that you didn’t know.” Naruto whispered.

“Then at least tell me why you did what you did to me.” Aya said looking at his closed eyes. Naruto opened them a little and stared at her. Her eyes widened as he spoke.

“Aya!” A woman called. Ayasnapped out of her train of thought and looked up at the female. She was about 170 cm tall and her skin is a light tan complexion. She had sliver hair that went down to her neck with a forehead protector with a leaf sign around her forehead covered by her bangs and deep blue eyes. She has a slender build, her bust size is about 92 cm, her waist is around 53 cm wide, and her hips is around 83 cm wide. She is wearing a red sleeveless qipao dress with with a tiger design on the front. She has on a black wrist band on each wrist. She has on a pair of black ninja sandals. On her back is a long Odachi at least 70 inches long and she had two kunai pouches around her thighs. “You okay?” She asked.

“Yeah Maya. I’m fine.” Aya replied. Maya nodded and looked ahead, looking for blondehair out of the brown and black hair of the people who littered the paths as they walked. ‘Fiveyears, it has been five years since he left.’ She thought before sighing. Maya looked towards Aya again with a sad look.

‘Why did she send us out of all people to retrieve him? Especial with what he has done. But Aya has acted weirdly when he is brought up ever since he left.’ Maya thought before looking ahead again.

“Hey Maya are you sure we should be going this way? After all Jiraiya-sama'sspy network said he's was last seen five miles to the west.” A young man. Maya looked at the young man and raised an eyebrow. He is about 176.2 cm tall. He has short neat black hair and green eyes. He has an athletic build, and has a tan skin tone. He is wearing a plain black shirt with green vest over it and black pants. His hitai-ite is on his forehead and he has two wrist bands on.

“Do you really think he would really be in the same place after three weeks? He would have moved way before we came." Maya said.

"And how can you be so sure?" He asked.

"How? Because to disappear you can't stay in a play long enough for people to notice you." Maya said.

“Hm, if you say so.” He replied. “Why the hell are you so quiet, Shikamaru?” He asked to the other male of the group. He is about 177.3 cm tall. His has brown hair pulled up in a spiky ponytail. He is wearing a jounin vest and blue shirt under it with blue pants. In his mouth is a cigarette and his hitai-ite is on his right arm.

“Stop being so troublesome. Just look for him Hideo.” Shikamaru said as he looked lazily around.

He looked back towards Aya and smirked. “Hey Aya how about we go out to eat once we find the de...” Hideo started.

“Hey look.” Ayainterrupted pointing ahead. They all looked ahead as a huge fire dragon formed in the middle of the village. All four of them dashed forward silently as the people on the path yelled in fear and ran. They jumped on a near by roof and watched fivefigures in the middle of the village three with the fire dragon behind them standing sideby sideand the other two standing sideby side staring at the three people.

“Akatsuki.” Maya growled out. She glared at the two taking in their appearance. The first wore a cloak with red clouds on it and a red interior with a chin-high collar, on his forehead is a Konoha hitai-ite with a slash mark through the middle. On his finger is a ring with the kanji for Sazaku. The man named Uchiha Itachi. The man next to him is about 188cm tall. He has a distinctiveshark-like appearance, complete with pale blue skin, small white eyes, gill-like facial structures, and sharp triangular teeth. He is also wearing a black cloak with red clouds on it. On his back is a huge bandaged sword. On his forehead is a hitai-ite with the mist symbol on it with a slash mark through the middle. His name, Hoshigaki Kisame.

“N-Naruto.” Ayastuttered out. All four of them turned their heads to see the other three. The first is a female who is about 167 cm tall. She has long dark purple hair in a high ponytail. The color of her irises is gold. Her skin is a dark in shade and her body is slender. She was dressed in the standard black hakama with the sides missing. She has on a tight form fitting sleeveless haoriwithout a back and sides with whitewrappings underneath that served to accentuate her perfectly proportionate bust. Around her waist is a white obi that held a kodachito her side. She is wearing white socks and brown sandals on her feet. She has a black chockertied around her neck with a whitediamond on the side.

On her left is a man in a cloak. He is about 179.2 cm tall his body covered with a gold cloak with silver designs running up it and black cargo pants. His face is angular with three whisker marks on each cheek. His irises are blue while his pupils are sharp slits just like a dragon and he has long spiky blonde hair tied in a ponytail. On his back is a 58 inch katana in a black scabbard. On his right is a man of similar height. He is wearing a silver cloak with black lining running up it. His face is obscured by a hood that is attached to his cloak. He has on black pants and has a nodachi that is at least 70 inches long in a red scabbard at his waist.

“Wow, never expected that would happen?” The shark man said gripping his sword.

“Hn, such control over the wind.” Itachi said emotionlessly. He looked at the dragon that hovered over Naruto’s head.

“You really thought that would defeat us? Please don’t make me laugh.” The man on Naruto’s right said with an amused tone.

“Homura shut up. This is not a joking matter.” The female said.

“Oh and why isn’t it?” Homura asked looking at her.

“Oh I don’t know, maybe because they interrupted our meal for one.” She replied glaring at him.

“Oh come on with that. Naruto will cook for you later if you want.” He said waving her off.

“Really?” She asked expectantly her eyes shining.

“They are a little too carefree don’t you think?” Kisame asked.

“….” Itachi looked directly at Naruto as if challenging him. Naruto stared at him with an lazy look in his eyes.

“How about I shave off their legs then they won’t be so carefree anymore.” Kisamesaid drawing his blade. The woman looked at him before tilting her head.

“Are you a fish?” The female asked curiously.

“What!?” He asked angrily.

“Are you a fish? I mean the blue skin, gills, sharp teeth, you look like fish on drugs.” She said.

“Ohhhh! That’s a good one.” Homura let out as Kisame growled angrily before grinning.

“I’m going to enjoy shaving you.” He said drawing his blade. Homura lifted his hand before touching his face.

“Um….Yeah I don’t need a shave thank you. How about you, Naruto?” He asked. Narutolooked at him blinking before touching his face also. At that moment Itachi’s hands went up in a blur and five shuriken flew from his sleeves towards Naruto. All of their eyes flashed towards the shuriken as they came at Naruto. In a split second the shuriken hit something a few feet in front of Naruto before flying off in different directions.

Itachi stared glancing at Homura who now had his back towards them with a sword in his hand. “That wasn’t too smart. Now I will have to kill the both of you.” He said darkly turning slightly to look at him. Glowing red eyes could be seen as the wind blew passed them.

“Hmph, Then come.” Kisame said.

“With pleasure.” Homura said. Naruto reached out and tapped him. “Got it.” Homura said.

“I’m guessing you got them both.” The woman said putting her hands behind her head.

“Yeah.” Homura said

“Ok then.” She said moving her hands down to her sides.

Naruto turned around and looked at the flame dragon. He raised both hands and clapped them together causing a loud slapping noise to rang out through the now empty area. A second later the dragon dissipated into thin air. Itachi’s eye twitched seeing his flame being dissipated. “Don’t die.” The female said.

“Yoruichi, I didn’t know you cared.” Homura said mockingly.

“Of course I do…I lent you 500 yen last week.” She said.

“Ah! That is so mean.” He said mocking sadness.

“Well you should have never bought those books.” Yoruichi said shrugging.

“Hey…you read them as well.” He said.

“So?” She asked. Homura shook his head as she turned around towards Naruto. They both started to walk away Yoruichi on his left. Naruto stopped and looked to his right. Yoruichi also stopped and turned to see what he was looking at. She saw the shinobi and raised an eyebrow. “You know them?” She asked pointing towards them.

He looked at her momentarily before starting to walk again. She shrugged and followed him. A second later they both disappeared into thin air leaving dust. “They just left their comrade.” Maya said confused.

“They are crazy, one of them fighting two S-ranked ninja alone.” Hideo said.

“Should we help him?” Aya asked looking at Shikamaru.

“No. Our mission is to retrieve Naruto and I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t leave him if he couldn’t take care of himself.” Shikamaru said. “We should head after Naruto.” He said. All three of them nodded and dashed off after Naruto and Yoruichi. Homuraglanced to the side as the Konoha nin dash after Naruto. He looked forward not caring and got into his stance.

“Kisame take care of him. I’m going after Naruto-kun.” Itachi said.

“Hn, I’ll finish this in a few minutes.” He said. Itachi dashed forward locking eyes with Homura. Time seemed to slow down as he ran pass him.

‘I can’t sense his…’ Itachi thought as ran further away.

“Let’s go. I have things to do.” Homura said.

“Fine with me.” He said before dashing toward him. He brought his sword up and down towards Homura as he reached him. Homura bringing his nodachi up to block the strike. Their blades locked with a loud clang of metal. Kisamepushed his harder trying to win only to find Homura’s blade unmoving. He looked at his face to see a smirk.

“Oh this will be fun.” Homura said now grinning.

With the Konoha team

They ran through the forest with a chakra enhanced pace. “How in the hell did Akatsuki get here before us!?” Hideo asked as they leaped from tree to tree. “Anyway, we should have helped that guy. We would have be able to beat them.” Hideo said.

“Don’t underestimate them. They are powerful enough to destroy a village, especially Itachi.” Shikamaru said.

“Forget about them for now. Our target is Naruto. For some reason I can’t sense his chakra, so how exactly do we find them?” Maya asked.

“I see them.” Aya said pointing to a clearing. They all looked to see Naruto sitting against the truck of a tree with his eyes closed. The woman was laying down next to him with her head on his thigh. His right hand lay upon her head, stroking her hair. They stopped once they got in hearing distance and hid.

“Are they just waiting here?” Hideo asked.

“Shss! Naruto has good hearing.” Maya whispered.

“You really think he’ll be okay?” Yoruichi asked glancing at Naruto. Naruto opened his right eye and looked at her. He smiled gently at her “I guess you’re right. But I wonder what those two wanted with you.” She said closing her eyes. Naruto grinned as he moved his left hand to her nose. She blinked and looked back at him. “You mean I know already?” She asked curiously. Naruto gave her a nod before leaning his head back against the tree. He listened to the wind as it blew through the area feeling Yoruichi’s head leave his leg. Narutoopened his eyes to see Yoruichi’s face close to his. He raised an eyebrow as she leaned in with a grin. She placed her hands against the tree on either side of his head as she sat in his lap. “We are alone Naru-chan. How about we take advantage of this?” She asked with a purr. Naruto smiled at her as she leaned closer.

Aya’s eyes narrowed angrily as Shikamaru made a hand seal while crouching. His shadow shot quickly around the tree and headed towards Naruto and Yoruichi. Naruto eyes darted to the ground just as the shadow split apart. Yoruichi saw his eyes before she disappeared in a blur. Naruto remained unmoving looking at the shadow as it came in contact with his.

“Kagemane no jutsu success.” Shikamaru said. Yoruichi appeared next to the tree with her eyes narrowed darkly as the three remaining Konoha nin stepped into the clearing.

“Are you guys also picking a fight with us?” She asked with her arms crossed.

“We didn’t come here to fight.” Shikamaru said stepping from behind the tree. He eyed Naruto weirdly noticing he didn’t move an inch.

“If you didn’t come here to fight why did you do that shadow thing?” Yoruichi asked with a raised eyebrow.

“So he wouldn’t run.” Maya said eyeing Naruto who closed his eyes again.

“Why would he run? And what did you come here for?” Yoruichi asked.

“Uzumaki Naruto. Tsunade-sama has ordered your return to Konoha.” Hideo said. Naruto didn’t reply or move he just waited. After a few seconds of him not answering Hideo got angry. “Didn’t you hear…” He was interrupted as Itachi landed on the ground in front of a tree in the clearing. Naruto opened his eyes before he turned and stared at Itachi.

“Haaa….Homura you big idiot.” Yoruichi growled out. He took a quick glance over to the Konoha ninja before looking at Naruto. The Konoha ninja got into a loose fighting stance while Naruto closed his eyes once again.

“Naruto-kun you should come with me.” Itachi said. Naruto let out a breath of air before he stood up and started walking forward. Shikamaru eyes widen as his legs moved without his permission. Shikamaru quickly dispelled his jutsu taking in the information for later. He stopped and opened his eyes looking at Itachiwith a impassive expression.

With Homura

Kisame looked at him with a tooth grin. ‘What the fuck is up with him? He just keeps coming no matter how much chakra I suck from him. It’s like he got an unlimited amount.’ He thought looking at Homura who was standing on the water he made nonchalantly.

“Is this all that you got? I’m surprise Naruto made you seem like a good swordsmen.” Homura taunted.

“I’ve been taking it easy on you. But no more.” Kisame said. He dash at him with his sword over head. He swung downward only to have it blocked. Kisame threw a kick aimed at stomach. Homuramoved to the side quickly dodging the kick. He quickly elbowed Kisame in the stomach causing him to loosen his hold on Samehada and cough up blood. Homurahit the blade with the hilt of his sword and watched as it flew away. He kicked Kisame away and disappeared a second later.

Kisame recovered quickly as he slid across he looked for Homura to find him where his Samehada landed. Homura picked up the sword before it could sink and looked at Kisame who was smirking. “So this is Samehada the sword that could absorb chakra. Hn, I think I will add this to my collection.” He said taking a practice swing.

“Really now?” Kisameasked before making a seal. Five towers of water rose to his height before taking his form.

“Mizu Bunshin? Do you still take me so lightly?” Homura asked. One of his clones dashed towards him and threw a punch. Homura simple swung Samehadadownward. He felt something pierce into his hand but ignored it briefly as he cut through the clone. He let go of the hilt a second later, letting the blade fall into the water. He looked at his hand before looking at the water where the sword had fallen to see it moving toward Kisame. ‘What the fuck.’ He thought. “Since when do swords move on there own?” He whispered.

He didn’t havemuch time to ponder it as hands grabbed on to his feet and pulled him under water. He looked at the clone that had him and quickly swiped his sword at it. His blade struck its head causing into to dissipate into water. “Suiton: Goshokuzame” He heard he looked ahead to see five sharks made of water swirling around toward him.

Homura smirk as he released chakra around him.

Back to Naruto

Naruto looked up to see a huge dragon made of water fly into the sky. Naruto shook his head before looking at Itachi again. He shifted his weight ready to attack before Yoruichi tapped him. “I’ll take care of him Naru-chan.” She said. Naruto looked at her before nodding.

‘He’s really going to let her fight?’ Aya thought surprised. He moved out of his stance and took a step to his right allowing her a full view of Itachi. “You should get ready.” She said. Itachi’s mouth twitched as a strong gust of wind blew passed them. Naruto’s cloak swayed in the wind completely covering Yoruichi from sight. On pure reflex alone Itachi ducked dodging a thrusting strike that would have surely ended his life. He looked to his right as he heard wood breaking. His eyes widen considerably as she looked down at him. “What do you know….I missed.” She said. He jumped to his left turning in air to face her. He watched her disappear without any type of trace just as he landed. He felt himself pulled down by something as a hand shot toward his head once again. He looked at Yoruichi before jumping away once again. “Hn…..I must have gotten rusty to miss twice in a row like that.” She said looking at her hand.

‘This isn’t Shunshin no jutsu. That jutsu I’m able to follow. What kind of technique is this?’ He thought jumping up dodging a leg sweep. He landed on a branch and surveyed the area. He did a few hand seals before turning around and jumping off the branch. He saw Yoruichi stopped there and inhaled. ‘Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu.’ He thought exhaling a huge fireball. Yoruichi disappeared again and appeared just on the ground where Itachi was going to land. She prepared to strike only to see him glow.

‘Shit.’ She thought before he exploded. Itachi looked over at Naruto as Yoruichi appeared in front of him.

‘I can’t track her with my Sharingan.’ He thought. Naruto stared at her as she looked around.

“Hn….I wonder how he is dodging all my attacks.” She asked staring at him. Naruto shrugged as she hummed lightly. She saw Itachi in a tree staring at her and smirked. She was about to attack again when Kisameappeared by Itachi’s side.

“Kisame.” He said looking at the cut up shark man.

“He was stronger than I thought.” Kisame said eyeing Naruto and Yoruichi.

“….By the gods.” She said with a sigh. Naruto looked at her before pushing himself off the tree. He walked in front of her and got into a loose stance. “Naru-chan?” She said curiously Naruto looked at her before looking forward again.

“Get ready to help if necessary.” Shikamaru whispered. Just before Naruto or anyone could attack Homura appeared crouching right next to Naruto. Naruto looked at him and then back at the two traitors.

“Sorry, he got away while I was under water.” He said. Naruto raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything.

“…How did you end up under water?” Yoruichi asked.

“Well…Bad luck I suppose.” He replied. “Anyway, from what I see. They aren’t really s good as all these rumors said they would be. Though I still will have to kill them, I’ll just do it later. The konoha shinobi should be able to hold them off without any problems.” Homura said pointing over to the group.

“What is he playing at?” Maya asked herself.

“Nothing too bad cutie. You guys look strong enough to take out well….Fishy… that was his name right?” Homura asked looking at Yoruichi. Maya who was taken back by his words blushed.

“I think so.” Yoruichi said thinking. Kisame let out a growl as Naruto looked at his onetime comrades. He shrugged before turning and starting to walk away. Yoruichi and Homura followed without a word.

“Watch this.” He whispered to Yoruichi. She nodded.

‘Damn it…..it seems like he has a grudge.’ Aya thought narrowing her eyes.

‘Fuck, this was not part of the plan.’ Shikamaru thought.

‘Damn it’ Maya thought.

“You bastards!” Kisame yelled glaring.

“Kisame” Itachi said as Kisamejumped off the tree branch and dashed toward the group. He raised his blade up just as he reached Naruto.

“Naruto!” Aya called out. Kisameswung his blade down fast but was surprised at what happened next. Narutoturned facing him to quickly to see and caught the blade in his hand. Kisame smirked as he tried to move it. He smirk faded as Samehada didn’t budge an inch. He looked at Narutowho looked back with his pupils in glowing slits. Suddenly he was hit by something in the face, then the stomach, then side, then face again, then chest. The only indication that he was even getting it was the sudden jerks of his body and the blood flying from his mouth. He let go of the blade causing Kisame to fly away still getting pounded by some invisible force. Itachi watched with clear shock on his face while the Konoha ninja look confused.

“What just happened?” Hideo asked.

“I haven’t got a clue” Shikamaru said his eye widened.

‘He used the wind to attack him like that. That should be impossible without hand seals.’ Itachi thought as Kisame crashed into a tree beaten, bloodied and unconscious. Itachi looked at him assessing his wounds.

“What just happened?” Yoruichi asked surprise evident in her voice.

“That’s why I don’t mess with him. He uses the wind like a play thing.” Homura said happily. ‘I wish I could do the same, well I still have fire and fire is always cooler than wind’ He thought smirking. Naruto shot him a glare as if he read his thoughts

“Then how come he never did it before?” She asked.

“I don’t know.” He said shrugging. Maya looked at Naruto with shock hearing Homura.

‘To be able…no that should be impossible.’ She thought.

‘Naruto is so strong.’ Aya thought. Suddenly he disappeared from their sight causing them to look around franticly. Itachi looked surprised again as he felt Narutoby his side.

Itachi’s body glowed and exploded destroying the tree they were on.

‘Why can’t I track their movements?’ He thought as looking from behind a tree. The smoke cleared revealing Naruto without a scratch on him. He looked at the tree Itachi was behind and narrowed his eyes. Naruto lifted his hand and pointed it as the tree. He started to glow gold as he narrowed his sights on Itachi.

Maya felt the nodachi on her back pulsate and narrowed her eyes. Naruto thrust his hand forward slightly sending a golden ball of energy forward just as Itachi’s eyes widen. He jumped away dodging the attack barely. ‘What was that? It wasn’t chakra.’ Itachi thought.

Naruto stopped glowing as Itachi drew several shuriken from the seal that was in his cloak. He threw them at Naruto as he headed for Kisame. Naruto just stared at him as the shuriken approached. They stopped suddenly still spinning a few inches from his body. Itachi quickly grabbed Kisame with a surprised look just as they shot off towards him. He jumped back dodging them before disappearing in a shroud of smoke. Narutofollowed Itachi’s movement for a moment before looking down to his comrades. He jumped down from the tree and started walking towards them with an impassive look in his face.

“Oh, don’t give me that. He escaped while I was under water.” Homura said. Naruto looked at him with a blank look while tilting his head. “ If you could have done better then why didn’t you?” He asked angrily. “Shut up!” He shouted out.

‘Naruto’s not even talking.’ Aya thought face faulting. Shikamaru coughed catching their attention.

“Hey why are they here? They want to fight or something?” Homura asked Yoruichi.

“No! We only came to get him.” Hideo said pointing at Naruto.

“Why?” Homura asked. Shikamaru sighed as he walked closer to them.

“As we said before Tsunade-sama has requested your return to Konoha.” Shikamaru said. Naruto looked at him while Homura stepped forward.

“And why exactly does she want him back in Konohaafter five years of banishment?” Homura asked.

“Banishment?” Yoruichi asked surprised.

“But Konoha and Suna are in….a troublesome situation.” Maya said looking at Naruto. “We need….”

“Basically you need an edge over your enemies and you think Naruto is that edge. Am I correct?” Homura asked. Maya nodded as Yoruichistepped to his side. “Well at least you guys came to the right person for it.” He said as Yoruichi looked at him. She shook her head before looking at them.

“…. And why exactly should we help you?” She asked them.

“We don’t need your help. Just his.” Maya said quickly glaring at her. Yoruichi narrowed her eyes slightly before shrugging.

“Can we go? This whole situation has got me hungry once again.” She asked bored.

“Ah just relax.” Homura said before looking at Naruto. Naruto glanced at him before they both looked at the Konoha ninja.

“No.” He said.

“We’ll like him to answer and not you.” Maya growled out angrily.

“He can’t.” Homura said.

“And why can’t he?” Maya asked angrily.

“Because he can no longer speak.” Homura answered.

A.N

Yo DragonTamerXhere. Sorry for restarting the story, I couldn’t figure out what to do next. So here is the new version. Tell me how you like it. And even though I don’t write for the reviews, getting reviews tells me how people feel about it and it gets me more motivated. Oh Sorry I haven’t updated on my other ones, I still have a writer’s block. I can’t seem to figure out a nice first mission for them. So suggestions would be nice.

Jutsu

Kagemane no jutsu (Shadow Imitation Technique): After forming the needed hand seals, the clan member is able to manipulate their shadow along any surface. By using other nearby shadows they can further extend the reach of their shadow, however they are limited to the surface area of the original cast shadow. Once the user’s shadow reaches the target shadow, it will attach itself. While attached the target will be frozen, only able to replicate in mirror form the actions of the clan member.

Suiton: Goshokuzame(Water release: Five Shark eating Frenzy): is a Ninjutsu technique utilizing the Water Element. Kisame will form the needed hand seals and then place his hand to the surface of the water. A shark of condensed water will emerge from each of his fingers to attack his opponent who is in the water below.

Mizu Bunshin no jutsu (Water clones): Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique that utilizes water to create a Bunshin clone. Unlike a normal Bunshin, the Mizu Bunshin has the ability to interact more with the environment due to it having physical substance. This allows the clone to carry out limited attacks on its target. The range of the clone is limited however, it can not travel very far from the original body. If the Mizu Bunshin is injured, the clone will usually revert back into its natural water state.

Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu (Fire release: Grand Fireball no jutsu): a Ninjutsu technique utilizing the Fire Element. The ninja does the necessary hand seals, draws chakra from their mouth into their chest and them immediately exhales it. They then blow a stream of fire which erupts into a large sphere of flames. To better manage the flames the ninja will bring their hand to their mouth to control it.
