Requiem of the Fallen

Chapter 1

Fifteen year old Naruto grinned at the magnificent view of Konoha. Not much has changed except for the extra face on the Hokage's mountain. The extra face on the Hokage's mountain was an image of Tsunade; the current leader, and fifth Hokage.

"Uzumaki Naruto has returned!" The blond haired teenager shouted.

"You've grown taller Naruto," Kakashi remarked from his sitting position on the roof.

"Kakashi-sensei!" The blonde yelled. He leaped from the wooden pole and landed next to Kakashi.

"Oh! I got something for you Kakashi-sensei," Naruto reached into his pocket holster and brought out a yellow book. Kakashi's face expression immediately glowed with pleasure at the sight of the yellow book.

"Wha-what, how? This is... This is the latest addition to the Icha-Icha Series after a three year hiatus."

"It's really boring, but I know you'll enjoy it. I think!"

Jiraiya overheard Naruto comment and sighed in annoyance. The kid could never appreciate a work of art. The Icha-Icha book that Naruto gave to Kakashi was also a rare unreleased edition.

"Yo, Kakashi!" Jiraiya greeted. Former pupil and teacher disappeared from the roof top, and appeared beside the Toad Sannin.

"Jiraiya-sama," Kakashi returned the greeting.

The Toad Sannin hit the blond on the head for his comment about his book.

"Ouch! Ero-Sennin! Why did you do that?"

"You know why," Jiraiya shot back.

"Whatever," Naruto mumbled. "Right! To Ichiraku's ramen!"

The blond disappeared above the horizon, and left Jiraiya and Kakashi together.

"I see that Naruto still hasn't changed - personality wise," Kakashi again remarked.

"As promised, I'll leave Naruto in your care," Jiraiya's sight was fixed on the horizon. Kakashi closed the book in his hands with a snap, and carefully hidden it away for safe keepings. The atmosphere around the Toad Sannin and the Copy Cat turned serious.

"I fear the Akatsuki are growing inpatient. The organization may make an attempt at Naruto soon. I'm leaving to collect more information about the akatsuki," Jiraiya continued.

Kakashi nodded.

"Kakashi, have you heard any news from the island of water?"

The Copy Cat noted Jiraiya serious expression, and shrugged.

"No. The island of water hasn't been heard from awhile, but that is nothing new. As the island of water society tends to themselves, and cares nothing for Ninja affairs," Kakashi said.

"Yes, I am well aware of their distaste towards Ninja," Jiraiya frowned.

"Why are you so interested in the island of water all of a sudden?"

"It just bits and pieces of a rumor, but apparently monsters have been sighted on the island."

"Monsters?" Kakashi questioned.

"Forget about it, Kakashi. We better leave, Naruto should be done eating by the time we arrive at Ichiraku's."


It controlled the drones to enter the living-building and collect the required amount of Vespene gas. The planet had a surprising amount of the material, but the missing ingredient was the crystal minerals needed to form some of the living-buildings. The one source of minerals that the planet contain was from the planet's own moon. It commanded its overlords to commandeer a dozen of drones, and after immediately arriving on the moon, a hive was created, and more drones were created to collect the minerals.

It controlled Hydralisks, and Zerglings to position themselves into strategy points around the island. The main operation was to protect the hive from being destroyed, and hide from Kerrigan's swarm.
