Chapter 1: The Message

"Kirigakure no Jutsu" ( Hiding Mist Technique), "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" (Shadow Clone Technique) he whispered. Suddenly a dense mist engulfed the compound, and five Naruto's popped into existence.
"Where the hell is all this mist coming from" a gate guard asks. "I don't know" the other responds.
Suddenly a shout of "Odama Rasengan" ( Great Ball Spiraling Sphere) echoed through the mist.
The front gate, and a large chunk of the surrounding wall was blown to pieces killing the two guards and several other members of the clan who were near the walls.
Naruto, and his shadow clones dashed through the destroyed gates at incredible speed, easily seeing through the mist with their demon eyes activated.
Inside the compound horrible screams, and shouts of "where is he" and "He's over here...ahhh!" were heard everywhere. The only thing that anyone saw before they died were two glowing red slitted eyes, razer sharp claws, and blood as their throats were either slashed, or ripped out.
Inside the main house the Fumma clan-head was being ushered into a passage way that lead to the catacombs under the main house so she could escape the compound. She could hear the screams of her fellow clansmen in the distance as the door closed behind her.
A couple minutes later the doors to the main house burst open as two of Naruto's clones rushed in securing the downstairs, while two others rushed in behind them to secure the upstairs.
The real Naruto slowly walked in a minute later with his remaining clone behind him. They stopped just past the broken doors. "Where are you little Fuuma" he whispered. Then sniffing the air he pointed to a door.
The clone behind him ran towards it activating a weak rasengan blasting it to pieces.
Once the clone burst through two kunai flew through the air towards it. When the first pierced it the clone bled slightly, then when the second hit it puffed into smoke.
"Their chakra enhanced" one of the remaining guards managed to say just before his throat was slashed by another of the clones.
The battles raged until the last of the guards were killed, and all of Naruto's shadow clones were destroyed .
"I found you." Naruto said happily.
Inside the catacombs under the main house it had fallen deafly quiet as the only sound that could be heard was the heavy breathing of the last surviver and clan-head Fuuma Sasame who was trapped at the end of the corridor having accedentaly taken a wrong turn, she watched the assassin in horror.
"I found you."
Standing ten feet in front of her covered in the blood of her fellow clansmen with a demented smile was none other than her once good friend Uzumaki Naruto arms crossed blocking her only escape.
Terrified the clan head screamed "What do you want?!"
"It's quite simple my dear. I want the sacred amulet that your clan possesses. I also want to send a message to konoha, and my former teammate Sakura."
Sasame's eyes narrowed.
"You sick bastard! I'll Die before I let a monster like you have our sacred amulet." she spat out.
"Your right Sasame, you will die. The only question is...will you die fast and easy, or slow and painfully? Personally I'd prefer the latter."
Suddenly he dashed toward her at incredible speed grabbing the woman by the throat lifting her off the ground. With his left arm fully extended. He brought his right hand up to the left side of her face.
Slowly raking his clawed hand across her cheek, peeling her skin, drawing small trickles of blood. His fanged grin grew even wider as he imagined the expression on Sakura's face when she finds out he killed her friend, and eliminated one of konoha's allies... Yes he'd love to see that.
"Na-Naruto what happened to you?" She barely gasped out do to the lack of oxygen as he continued holding her off the ground. A tear slowly ran down her left cheek mixing slightly with her blood making her wince as it stung.
"Why it's simple Sasame my dear I've grown up. I've learned that the good guy doesn't always win... hell as a matter of fact most of the time the good guy gets screwed over." he said bitterly.
"I'm no longer the happy go lucky fool you once knew."
"As for why I'm here thats simple. I seek ascension to become no less than a god, but to do that I need to collect all the sacred amulets, one of which your clan possesses."
With that he pulled out a kunai slowly pushing it through her left shoulder eliciting a spine chilling scream then he stuck another into her right shoulder pinning her to the wall. He then went on to torture her for at least an hour before she finally told him where to find the hidden room containing the sacred amulet.
Before she took her final breath she looked at him with a small smirk on her disfigured face and whispered "Rokudaime-sama will stop you."
When Naruto heard that he activated a weak resigan sending it through her mangled face in anger killing her instantly. Effectively eliminating the last of the Fuuma clan.
"As if that pink-haired bitch could ever stop me." He spat out with seething hatred.
'Guess it would be rude of me not to leave a note' Naruto thought before taking out a small scroll and diping one of his claws into Sasame's blood to use as ink.
When Naruto finally made his way out of the catacombs back to the surface of the compound he looked at the bodies lying everywhere, then looking up at the beautiful clear blue sky he smiled and whispered
"Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day." With that he vanished into thin air.
An hour later a leaf ANBU patrol arrived upon the gruesome scene eventually finding Sasame's mangled body with a blood stained scroll by hear side.

Haruno Sakura, Rokudaime Hokage, and former teammate of Uzumaki Naruto was reading the report of the Fuuma massacre. She became furious as she read about the condition of Sasame's mangled body.
Then she turned to read the blood stained scroll that was found next to her friends corps.
Hokage-sama,
So sorry for your loss. I mean first you lose Sasuke, then your Mistress Tsunade all those years ago, Now you lose Saseme, and her clan one of Konoha's strongest allies.
What a shame, I wonder if the village knows just how incompotant you are, just a little fangirl that climed the ranks a little to fast you do know they will eventually turn on you... it's only a matter of time.
Best wishes,
Uzumaki Naruto
P.S. Tell Shizune I said hello
Sakura started trembling in anger. 'Why that arrogant son of a bitch' she thought angrily.
She could no longer contain her anger. She slammed the scroll down with such force that her desk split in two.
"Damn that bastard...Damn him!" She screamed, a single tear ran down her cheek as she mourned the death of her friend.
'You will suffer for this Uzumaki.' she thought bitterly.
"Are you alright hokage-sama" Shizune asked.
"No Shizune I'm not. Naruto just wiped out the Fuuma clan, and we have no clue where he's gone."
At the mention of his name Shizune brought her hand up to the masked side of her face. She still vividly remembered that horrible night when he killed Tsunade and left half of her face horribly disfigured.
-Flashback-
Tsunade, and Naruto were in her private study in the hokage mansion it had been two weeks since the public declaration of Haruno Sakura, her apprintace as her successor. A then 19-year old Naruto had just gotten back from a solo mission and he was pissed.
"How the hell could you appoint Sakura Rokudaime over me!" He bellowed.
"Listen brat you and I both Know after the incedent with Sasuke at the Valley of the End that the council, and the people would never back you becoming Rokudaime I'm sorry but Sakura is the best choice."
"I had to kill Sasuke and you know it...it was him or me! What the hell do you mean Sakura was the best choice?!"
"Look she's a very skilled medic-nin, and fighter. She's become an excellent diplomat. The council and the villagers like, and respect her. And she has the political capital to protect you .
"Protection... I don't need her damn protection...I'm not a child."
"After seeing the way your acting tonight I'm not so sure about that...seems to me you need to grow up." Naruto turned around, his body trembling with anger.
'You know your right I should grow up...and leave this hell hole.' he thought.
Tsunade placed her hand on his shoulder "Look Naruto i'm sorry but this is the way it has to be your just not the right person to lead the village."
"You know Tsunade" I've given everything for this village, hell the onlything that kept me going after Jiraiya died was becoming Rokudaime. I thought after Kyubi had finally been absorbed and was no longer a threat the people and council would finally see me as a good man, a hero." As he said the last part tears started slowly falling down his face.
"But all they can do is hate me for killing their precious Uchiha all those years ago." he said bitterly
"And if that wasn't bad enough you, the one person I thought I could trust more than anyone just abandoned me, and voted to give my dream, my reason for living to someone else.
"Your right about one thing though it is time I grew up." he said as his nails slowly grew into claws.
He spun around with lightning speed throwing her hand off his shoulder shoving his clawed hand through her chest. He then pulled his arm back with her heart still beating in his hand. Her eyes were wide with shock, and horror as she slowly fell lifelessly to the ground.
"Bye Baa-chan" He whispered dropping her heart next to her body. All the sudden the door burst open Shizune Yelling about Hinata killing her Father, and two members of the Hyuga clan
when she stopped and saw Tsunade's lifeless body on the ground she rushed to her friend, and mistress' side.
Looking up at Naruto with hatred in her eyes she screamed "You monster how could you do this to her after everything she's done for you!"
"She helped take my dream, so I took her life. I think it was a fair trade" he said to her coldly.
She grabbed a kunai from the sleeve of her black kimono and charged him aiming for his throat.
He grabbed her wrist breaking it easily, injecting yokai chakra into his claws he slashed the right side of her face.
She fell to the ground screaming in pain grasping her face with her remaining good hand as the yokai chakra burned her skin before she passed out from the pain.
Naruto took off the necklace that Tsunade had given him all those years ago and threw it on the ground next to Shizune.
"Enjoy your reign as Rokudaime for as long as it lasts Haruno." He spat bitterly before vanishing.
Sakura came onto the awefull scene five minutes later. After discovering Shizune still had a pulse she started to remove the poisonous chakra. She managed to save Shizunes life, but not before the right side of her face had been permanently disfigured.
Several hours later after an emergency meeting of the council. She was sworn in as Rokudaime. Her first order of buisseness was to declare her ex-teammates Hyuga Hinata, and Uzumaki Naruto S-ranked nukenins.
-End Flashback-
"Shizune we have to find out what the hell Uzimaki's up to, and stop him before it's to late. I need you to send for Nara Shikamaru, Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino, and Hyuga Neji."

The assembled group stood at attention in front of her.
"Uzumzki Naruto has recently wiped out the Fuuma clan in Ta no Kuni (Land of Rice Fields)."
Gasps and whispers were heard from the assembled jonin in the room.
"This makes the third attack in as many months. And his boldest one to date. He's become quite powerful to be able to take out a whole clan. We need to find out what he's planning and stop him. There's only one person that may know where he is, and what he's up to."
"Hinata" Shikamaru layzily breathed out.
"Sharp as ever Shikamaru. Our head of interrogation Yamanaka Ino recently found out from a captured
nukenin that she was recently in Nami no Kuni (Land of Waves) she may still be there. You are to find, and bring her back unharmed tell her we are willing to offer her amnesty in exchange for information on Uzumaki's goals and or location."
"Hokage-sama You can't be serious the traitor must be eliminated" Neji spat.
Sakura looked at the Hyuga with determination, green eyes met white. "I know the Hyuga wants my ex-teammates head, but she's the only one that could possibly tell us what Naruto is up to. You will bring her to me unharmed. That is a direct order from your hokage am I understood!"
"Hai" Neji angrily replied.
"Good, you will leave in the morning. Dismissed." with that they all bowed and disappeared in swirls of leaves.
"The Hyuga are not going to like this" Shizune said.
"I Know but we need to stop Naruto." Sakura replied.

"So she's trying to bring my sister back is she?" the now 21-year old Hyuga head asked.
"And she wants to give her amnesty after what she did to my father!" Her byakugan flared in anger.
"Hai Hanabi-sama. She was supposedly spotted in Nami no Kuni (Land of Waves)." Neji replied "The hokage ordered that we return her unharmed."
"Very well" she said seething in anger. She then spat out "Wouldn't want to cross the hokage on this."
"But Hanabi-sama she must be elimina-" Neji was silenced by Hanibi's raised hand.
"Enough we'll do as the hokage asks... for now." Neji bowed and left the room.
'Like hell I'd let that bitch live after what she did.' she thought.
Hanabi activated some special seals in the room designed to block sound as well as the byakugan and sealed the doors so no one else could enter. She then turned to the other side of the room. Where a blonde-haired, blue-eyed man with whisker marks on his face appeared out of thin air.
"Wave huh... it's been awhile since I visited that place. Looks like I'll get to see my teammate one last
time."
"Just make sure you eliminate her before she can make it back to the village Uzumaki."
Over the last two years Naruto has secretly taken several lucrative missions from the Hyuga head.
"Don't worry your pretty little head. She'll be dead soon, hell I'll even make this a freebie." With that he disappeared leaving Hanabi with a confident smirk on her face. Soon her sister would pay for killing their father and it wouldn't be traced back to the Hyuga.
'After you've killed Hinata, I'll deal with you and our dear Rokudaime.' she thought before exiting the room.
