Prologue

The man stood over the corpses, his hands glistening with blood. He turned, and walked away. On the heads of the dead men, a leaf engraved on a metal bar could be seen in the moonlight.

Konohagakure Village

"We have a report on the Mesike man, Hokage-sama."

Tsunade sighed. She had had a rough night at the pub, trying to drink away the stress of running a village.

"Yes?"

"He has awoken, but he will not speak. We have kept him on intravenous fluids, since he won't eat anything. Also, he cannot see out of the left eye, the one with the scar."

Tsunade motioned for him to continue.

"We have tried to get him to talk, but he will not. He tries to get us to do something for him, but no one can figure out what."

Tsunade nodded. "Alright. Leave."

The medic bowed, then left.

Tsunade called a man in.

"Send Naruto to the Mesike's room."

"Hai, Hokage-sama." The man left.

"What are you up to..?"

17 minutes later, Konoha Hospital

"Well?"

"Well what?"

Naruto grumbled. "A ninja was sent to our 'hotel room'- more of a dung heap- and said you had requested o see me."

"No."

"Well, then, I'll leave."

"I merely said I did not tell for them to send a person to get you. Did I ever say that I did not want you?"

"No…"

"Well then, sit. We have much to discuss."

Naruto sat on a chair facing the bed Jonaza was on.

"First off, look at your right side of the room. Memorize a few of the details of a few of the things over there. Now, quiz me on them."

Naruto glanced at a red lamp, with a purple shade. "What color is the shade of the red lamp?"

Jonaza concentrated. His left eye moved around.

"Blue."

Naruto frowned. "No, purple. Okay, umm… the shape of the two vases." (AN: They were odd vases, shaped like cubes."

"Cylindrical."

Naruto stared at him. "What is wrong with you?" He noticed then the opaque color of Jonaza's usually lively blue eye. "Oh my god…"

Jonaza sighed. "Yes. That eye has gone completely and totally blind. I cannot see anything to the far left of me." He traced his finger along the scar that had blinded him. In most stories, eye scars are made to make a character more dashing or mysterious, while not seriously impairing the person who has one. Kakashi is accepted, since he got a new eye. Not for Jonaza. On him, the scar was ugly and made him more revealed, if anything. It also DID seriously impair him. (AN: I shall explain my motives for this at the bottom.)

Naruto just slumped in his chair. Jonaza, the seemingly invincible one, blinded… well, half blinded.

"Enough of that. There are more serious matters to discuss."

A doctor, passing by the door, happened to hear these words, and, since Tsunade sad to report anything interesting about the man, stopped to listen. He only heard a few words, but what they were was enough to make him pale. Several mentions of something like winged demons… 121 tails… and a certain 'S'-word he couldn't quite remember. Seliphin? Sephiketh? Whatever they were, they all boded ill for the world. He hurried to tell the Hokage.

---------------------------------------------------

Kira was bored. She was wandering around, and suddenly, she saw a familiar head of spiky black hair. She grinned… and a scream was heard all over the surrounding area.

----------------------------------------------------------

The reason Jonaza was half-blinded is because I felt him to be quite too powerful. Now, with only half his vision, he cannot operate on the same level he was before. I appreciate all of your patience; I have been otherwise preoccupied from my story. Those of you whom I requested to read my story because I liked yours, if you remain, of which there are probably very few, now you know what's its like to wait for an update.
