Eyes of Doom

Chapter 1: Resurface

Naruto went about his day in the Leaf, greeting friends and playing around with the kids in the academy. And of course, eating at Ichiraku's Ramen with Iruka. Naruto went on and on about his training, Killer Bee with his bad rapping and…Sasuke of course. Iruka had a wave of sadness rush over him when Nauto told him about the fight that they had at the Five Kage Summit, him almost killing Sakura and Kakashi, Iruka got mad at that. Naruto said he looked, different, like all of the boy that Naruto knew was gone, and something sinister had replaced him.

But things quickly cheered up after the insatiable appetite that he's got caught up, Iruka must have bought him, what, 10 bowls, he ate like he hadn't eaten in weeks.

But he was quickly interrupted by an ANBU Agent, who quickly appeared with a puff of smoke behind him.

"Whaa…" Naruto droned out with a mouthful of noodles as he turned around

"Naruto Uzumaki, you must come with me at once." The Agent said briefly

"Aww..But I'm eating." Naruto droned

"The Hokage requests your immediate attention with an urgent matter." He said, but more firmly, he clearly didn't care that Naruto was in the middle of lunch.

"What could possibly be more urgent than Ramen? Tell Grandma Tsunade I'll swing by after lunch." Naruto stated with confidence as he quickly inhaled the rest of his bowl.

"You're done, lets go." The Agent said as he pulled Naruto away, Naruto didn't take it well, kicking and complaining like a child.

After a struggle Naruto reluctantly agreed to come along. He asked about this "Urgent Matter" the Hokage was so stressed about, The ANBU man would not answer, he simply stated "Not here." Even as much as Naruto begged, the Agent said the same thing.

At the Hokage's office, The ANBU agent stood beside the door and gestured to Naruto that he may enter, and that he need not knock. Naruto just nodded, and opened the door. Tsunade looked furious, but she also looked sad. Her face said anger but her eyes, they spoke only of fear and anxiety.

"Good, you're here." Tsunade spoke sternly.

"What's the matter?" Naruto said puzzlingly

"Where to begin…?" Tsunade sat down, seeming calmer, she breathed deeply.

"Grandma Tsunade, what's wrong?"

"The ANBU, they've found a boy in the Hidden Cloud during a reconnaissance mission.."

"Yeah, so?" Naruto still confused

"He..He possess the Rinnegan." Tsunade said with a tremble

"What!" Naruto put the pieces together in his head. Memories of Pain's Invasion flowed through his mind, Jiraiya's death, the village, Hinata trying to protect him.

"You of all people understand the paramount of this, Naruto." Tsunade spoke, more calmer now, but Naruto said nothing, he just stood there with his fists clenched. Tsunade continued.

"The ANBU where all found dead, except for one man. The agent who brought you here, he was badly injured." Tsunade continued. Naruto knew what was coming.

"You are to go to the Hidden Cloud Village, seek out this boy, and bring him back to the Leaf." Naruto just nodded.

"And you are to go alone." Tsunade quickly fit that sentence in before he stormed out the door.
