Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of the characters


Naruto woke to the sounds of battle somewhere near him. Looking around he found himself in a tent, he had no memory of what happened or how he got here but his battle instincts told him to ignore this for the moment, he couldn't afford to be distracted. He quickly scanned the tent for gear and equipped what seemed to be his. When he got out of the tent, he saw that he was in a clearing with a camp in it. There was an ongoing battle and from what he could see the roughly two dozens attackers had the defenders rather heavy numbers advantage.

Before he could decide what to do, or rather where to help, since he apparently was part of the camp and therefore attacked, he felt a presence approaching him from behind. He spun around and was staring at two spinning Sharingans. Before he could process this, he already was looking down at the body and jumping back. But the glimpse of the face was enough, in the back of his mind he remembered that he saw him in the Bingo Book, Uchiha Itachi. The enemy ninja immediately began attacking him by throwing shuriken which he barely managed to dodge and after drew a sword and began attacking Naruto.

At first Naruto was mostly on autopilot while dodging the shuriken, still he couldn't remember what happened but he began to get a feeling of what he could do combat-wise and so he responded to Itachi by drawing his own sword, hoping that his skill was enough to hold him off. It worked at first but then he realized the dangers of looking into Itachi's eyes earlier. He felt into his own system and sure enough found traces of foreign chakra in it. He reversed his own flow and the genjutsu fell apart. The Uchiha wasn't there anymore and he spun around to find him just in time to receive a hard blow to his forehead.

As Naruto fell backwards the world began to blacken and something strange happened, he was sure that he was losing his consciousness but at the same time it felt like his body began moving on his own. But before he could think about it was unconsciousness.

Itachi was about to turn around to help his comrades when he felt something. He was sure that he knocked the boy out but then he began to move again and seemingly faster than before too. The strange boy was retreating a bit and then began to gather his chakra. To prevent him from completing whatever he was starting Itachi rushed to him, but before he could reach him he felt it. Red chakra began to form around the boy and suddenly he felt the chakra, it was oppressive and then it hit him, it was the same as when the Kyubi attacked nearly 16 years ago. The Kyubi, this thought stuck with him and suddenly a slight panic began to fill him, he immediately began to suppress his feelings and focus on the battle, but it was too late. The blond ninja had seemingly finished and a red chakra cloak surrounded him now, much faster than he seemed to be before he charged Itachi and began a taijutsu battle.

While before Itachi would have rated his enemy as low to mid chuunin he now could probably go even with some jounins, but he wasn't ANBU for nothing, while he couldn't use ninjutsu as long as he had to defend against this onslaught, he still had his Sharingan and like before he cast a genjutsu on his opponent. But this time it didn't seem to work, perhaps the chakra cloak was interfering. Then he began to notice his problem, while he could keep up with the blond ninja without problems, the red chakra was eating away at his kunai, he doubted it would be a good idea to fight with his bare fists then and he didn't have many kunai left. He could think of some ways he might subdue his foe but none seemed to be a safe option and so Itachi called for backup.

Addressing a nearby teammate he called "Hinata can you come over here? I could use a hand". The Hyuga in question disengaged from her own combat and joined Itachi, "What can I do?" she asked. "I need some time for my ninjutsu, but be careful, his chakra seems to be very corrosive, don't take unnecessary risks, just keep him busy for a while"

She nodded and activated her Byakugan and switched into her Gentle Fist stance before moved toward him. Naruto reacted to his new enemy and didn't pursue Itachi as he disengaged and began with his Hand Seals. Hinata hat coated her entire hands in chakra to protect them, but they still took damage, she hoped Itachi could finish this fast as she blocked the barrage of attacks from her opponent.

Suddenly the earth around Naruto began to shift and the ground he was standing on sunk as the rest rose into the air and moved toward him, before he could react, he was trapped in the dirt and only his head was sticking out. For a moment the red chakra started to flare again and it looked like the makeshift prison would crumble as some seals on Naruto's head glowed shortly and he lost consciousness.

Itachi applied some knock-out tags on the head of the blond ninja and after that the party made way back to Konoha. Upon arrival he tasked some chuunin with the transport of all their prisoners to the T&I facility, released the rest of the party and went to the Hokage Tower to debrief.

As he entered the office he noticed the absence of any other ninja besides him and the Hokage, who activated a barrier seal after the door closed. "So you brought prisoners and returned early, I take that as a sign of success?" asked Hiruzen. "Yes Hokage-sama, we found an invading party of Kiri-nin and ambushed them. Among the enemy was a ninja who could use the chakra of the Kyubi, of that I'm sure. He was able use the demonic chakra to boost his speed and strength as well as cloak himself in it.

While he was able to escape a minor genjutsu I would rate his skill as mid-chuunin maybe a bit higher with his boost, but he seemed to lose tactical focus while in it. A jounin or a team of chuunin should be able to contain him." answered Itachi.

"Interesting, any other Observations?"

"It seemed that he has seals which limit the amount of demonic chakra he can use, I take that as a sign that he is closely controlled. If this proves true, it would be difficult to change his loyalty."

"Thank you for your report Itachi, you are dismissed", said the Hokage before he deactivated the barrier seals. The ANBU entered the office again and he sent one for Inoichi.

Darkness was the only thing Naruto could sense as he regained consciousness, "OK" he thought "I still cant remember anything before I woke up to the fight, and it seems like I'm imprisoned by Konoha now, let's see what they have in store for me"

Suddenly Light flooded the room and blinded him momentarily, as he regained his sight he could see that he was wearing a white uniform of sorts, "probably their prison clothes" he thought. At the other end of his cell a gray haired man had entered, flanked by two bodyguards. After a moment he recognized the face as the Hokage, Konoha's leader.

"Perhaps you are wondering why I'm personally here to interrogate you, but the answer is simple. I am here to propose you a citizenship in the case that you prove to cooperate fully with us. Since you are nothing more than a missing-nin in the eye of the law and your comrades wont be able to rescue you from here the value of this proposition surely isn't lost on you. So instead of simply executing you I think we both would benefit from cooperation. I will give you one day to think about it, but be sure that betrayal will never be an option, only to ensure a cruel end for yourself, of that I will make sure."


A/N: So this is my first story here, pls don't be too harsh with me ;)

If you are wondering what happened before don't worry I will cover it too, but personally I have seen enough of the Naruto as child training episodes, so I wanted to start at an interesting point, anything before that will be covered in flashbacks. I hope my English is not too bad, it isn't my first language.

Any reviews would be welcome :)
