Naruto gathered his things making sure to pack extra Ramen. He had many things to do before he left...

1. snack on some Ichiraku Ramen.

2. leave Sakura a letter promising he would return someday but only with Sasuke.

3. And steal a secret scroll of Forbidden Jutsus.

Naruto walked down Konoha's street quickly arriving at his favorite place to eat. He was saddened that he would be eating here for the last time for a while. Naruto remembered the time Sasuke saved his life on Naruto Bridge and pondered if Sasuke was worth what he was about to do. "I will find you Sasuke!" Naruto cried after finishing his eightth and final bowl of soup.

Naruto left his note at Sakura's doorstep along with his headband as he headed for his final stop. He knew that Akatsuki would be after him so Jiraiya had planned on seeing Naruto tomorrow so they could leave on a training mission. But Naruto knew he had to get on by himself.

Naruto knew very little about the scroll he was about to steal. All he knew was that 5 jutsus were in it each representing all five elements. So since Naruto knew he only had time to learn one jutsu he he needed to know which jutsu he was naturally fitted for so he went inside a small ninja shop that made shuriken and other various shinobi tools and picked up a special piece of paper that determined what element his chara was best fitted for. He put his chakra into the paper and the paper immediatly cut in half but then as it hit the floor it burned up. Meaning that Narutos Chakra was wind centered and the Kyuubi's chakra was fire centered.

"I will train with wind because i cant keep depending on the kyuubi to make me strong." Naruto said as he walked towards the Hokage House.

Naruto walked in acting casual. He walked past Tsunade's office and into the Hokage library. "Hey Naruto." Shikamaru and Chouji greeted him as he walked in.

"Ha, you guys are on guard duty then?" Naruto said thinking of how he could get past the brilliant Shikamaru. "Yea it is troublesome, I'd rather stare at the clouds."Shika' said as Chouji nodded in agreement. "Why dont you guys go then? I have to read about a jutsu anyways. Jiraiya's orders" Naruto said convincingly. "Well if we get caught..." "I will take the heat." Naruto interupted. "Alright Naruto, I guess, c'mon Chouji lets go gets some food." Chouji danced and shouted "YES IM STARVING". When Shikamaru left Naruto immediatley began to work. He broke the 3-part seal that contained all the forbidden scrolls just as he had done a long time ago. When he found the Scroll titled ELEMENTAL SPIRITS he grabbed it and transformed it into his headband.

Meanwhile... Shikamaru pondered how Naruto was acting 20 minutes before. "I wonder why Naruto wanted to take a boring job like guard duty. He hates work as much as me." Shika thought. "Dont worry about were eating Chouji said as he scarfed a rice ball. Then Shika remembered something that made him stand up and frown. "why was Naruto not wearing a headband?" Shikamaru then left the restaurant and ran as fast as he could towards the Hokage House.

When Shikamaru arrived and saw Naruto reading a scroll he was releived. "Hmphh." he sighed as he noticed Naruto wearing his headband. He started to walk out of the library when he noticed a missing scroll in the forbidden scroll area. He immediatley reacted by throwing shuriken in Naruto's direction. "Hey what the..." Naruto was cut off as 3 shuriken pierced his body. A cloud of smoke appeared where Naruto just was. "A Bunshin? How troublesome."

"Hokage-sama Naruto has stolen a Forbidden Scroll!" Shikamaru said. "What!" Tsunade got up and slammed her hands on her desk as the desk split in two. "Assemble Anbu teams 12, 7, 16, and 4 to find him! And get me Jiraiya, Neji, and Sakura too!" "Yes Hokage-sama!" "And Kakashi!" "Yes Hokage-sama!" Tsunade sat at her window staring at the hokage faces. "What have you done Naruto?"

Naruto was sprinting away from his beloved Konoha. He was already 15 miles away and nearing his hideout were he planned to train. Naruto would return the scroll with a bunshin when he was finished training so none of Konoha's secret info would get out to other countries. When Naruto reached a cave he went inside an set down his stuff and began training. He knew that it would take a few weeks for anyone to find this place because it was hidden by a small waterfall.

Jiraiya sat with Tsunade as she waited for Neji and Sakura too arrive. "Why did he do this?" Tsunade asked apprehensively. "I dont know... but it's trouble because if Akatsuki finds him he is as good as dead."

Neji and Sakura walked in the hokage office with looks of wonderment. "Tsunade-sama what is it?" Sakura asked. Neji wanted to know the same. Kakashi walked in. "Sorry I am late... is Naruto actually missing? Did Akatsuki take him?" Tsunade stood up and said "I will answer your questions now. Naruto has taken a Forbidden Scroll and left Konoha. We need to act immediatley so i have already sent ANBU teams to find him. I need to know if anyone knows where he is headed." Sakura stood up and said "I have a note from him that was left on my doorstep. I have not opened it yet." Sakura began to tear away the seal and pulled out the note. She unfolded it and read:

Dear Sakura,

Im leaving Konoha to find Sasuke and become stronger. Dont worry i will find my way. I will not return until i have Sasuke because of a promise i made. I never go back on my word. That is my way of the shinobi. You should train too i will look forward until the next time we meet.

P.S. Tell that pervert not to follow!

Uzamaki Naruto

Jiraiya stood up and said "HEY, WERE DOES IT SAY THAT?" Neji then spoke "Well then he headed North towards Sound Village." "Yes it does sound that way." Tsunade said and pondered for a moment before continuing. "Alright you all will be working on a joint mission together to find Naruto i will notify the ANBU teams to head North, we can not allow Naruto or the scroll to get in the wrong hands! Failure wont be accepted!" At that all the shinobi dissapeared from the room.

Seven days later Naruto still had not been caught. Neji searched with his Byakugan as Kiba, who just got back from a mission, sniffed for Naruto. The Neji spotted a small cave with a chakra prescence that was hidden by a waterfall. "Stay here Kiba, im going to search elsewhere." "Alright if you spot him you know what to do." Kiba said as Neji ran off.

"Naruto... I found you so what is your next move?" Neji mumbled to himself as he came within normal eyesight of the cave.

Naruto was exhausted. he had learned three of the four levels of the wind type jutsu called BAJIRA PALM that caused a wind spirit(Bajira) to possess him. There was no other information on the jutsu so he could only hope it was strong. Naruto was reading further and saw something wierd. In order to pass the 4th level of the jutsu, he had to...

"Naruto, what are you doing?" Neji said casualy while walking in. Naruto put down the scroll without finishing the final sentence. "Man, i didnt expect to be found this soon, i havent even finished the jutsu yet." Naruto said remembering about Neji's Byakugan. "Well Naruto i havent alerted the others searching for you yet... and i dont think i am going to." Naruto's mouth nearly dropped to the ground and he put his shuriken back into his holster. "Why not?" He asked suprised. "Because i now know why you are doing this. You want to return Sasuke. But if i let you go you better return the scroll now." "But wait I am not done yet give me one more day to finish it. Besides how are you going to explain having the scroll and not having me? I will return the scroll tommorow with a kage bunshin. If not you know were my hideout is and you can take it." Neji thought for a moment before answering. "Alright, one day." Neji started to leave the cave. "Bring him back." Neji said leaving the cave without looking back.

Naruto immediatley reopeed the scroll and read the final sentence in order to complete the jutsu he learned he had to cut off his... "WHAT!" Naruto screamed in terror. "CUT OFF MY..." Naruto looked at his hand and said "Why would i cut off my hand?"

(authors note: haha fooled you. i bet you you thought he was going to cut his weewee off haha back to story)

"I cant cut off my hand." He then read some small writing he had not noticed before:

If you cut off your hand as a sacrfice to Bajira a stronger one will appear . Stronger than the one before.

Naruto read it twice and decided it was best to not waste time... he was going to complete the jutsu.

"Dont cut off your hand boy." the kyuubi said as if worried.

"Why not?" Naruto asked wondering why Kyuubi was talking to him.

"Because there is no room in here already!"

"What? Ha im not listening to you im completing this jutsu!"

Naruto reached for his kunai and chanted "I DO THIS AS A SACRIFICE TO BAJIRA!"

Naruto cut deep and his hand fell to the ground. He howled in pain and nurtured his arm. "WHAT THE HELL NOTHING HAPPENED!"

But then his hand seemed to evaporate into the air. No longer did Naruto feel pain. A silvery hand appeared on his nub. It was clear and looked like it was made out of a silvery gas. Naruto felt his new hand with his other hand and was shocked when he felt a cool skin where the "Air hand" was. Naruto then punched his hand and felt the contact. "Cool" he said amazed.

"You fool, there will be consequences." Kyuubi said irritated

The cave started to rumble as white and gray chakra swirled around Naruto.

"Why should I allow my self to be contained by such a weakling?" The voice asked.

"What do you mean weak? And what do you mean 'contained'" Naruto asked the voice.

"I will now be locked away inside you body so you can use my power." The voice said.

"Man another spirit inside of me?" Naruto asked.

"Another" the voice questioned.

"I already have the kyuubi sealed in me" Nauto continued.

"KYUUBI? YOU IDIOT ONCE YOU SACRIFICE YOUR HAND TO ME THERE IS NO TURNING BACK. NOW I HAVE TO STAY SEALED INSIDE WITH THAT TRASH… DAMN YOU!" the voice yelled.

"…s-orry" Naruto said frightened.

"It is too late the ritual must continue. Like it or not Kyuubi…HERE I COME!"

The gray and white chakra sped into Naruto. He gasped at the pain. He didn't notice it but a symbol appeared on his forehead. It was the mark of the Bajira.
