Chapter 1: The Loyalist's

Kirigakure

Mizukage office

Mei Terumi was doing paperwork like always in her office. However she was waiting for a certain piece of information to come to her from her ally Konoha and an unknown source to both Konoha and Kiri.

"Lady Mizukage, I have the information you asked for." Mei looked up from her paper work and smiled at her assistant. "Thanks." Mei smiled taking the 3 folders from the assistant.

"So what are you gonna do? They are obviously after the 5 kages." The assistant stated. "Yes I know this, Kosa. But with the help of Konoha and Suna maybe I'll be to stop them." Mei sighed. She opened up the first folder to have a picture of a man with raven colored hair and an emotionless expression. Underneath the picture was his bio. It was chalk filled of Information.

She looked up to Kosa who was waiting anxiously. "You want to know also, don't you?" Mei said. Kosa nodded. The 5th Mizukage sighed and started to read out loud.

"Sasuke Uchiha. The only remaining Uchiha member. S-rank criminal. He is a missing ninja of Konohagakure. He left Konoha to seek power from the Snake Sannin Orochimaru, so he could kill his older brother. Itachi Uchiha. Sasuke succeeded in killing Itachi with the help of his two ex teammates Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno." Mei paused rereading to see if she missed something.

"It is rumored to say that Sasuke transplanted his older brother's eyes with his own earning him the eternal mangekyo sharingan. His motive was to kill Itachi but changed to destroy Konoha and it's elders for their betrayal to his clan.

In his genin days he was assigned to team 7 with Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura haruno. Their sensei was the famous copycat ninja Kakashi Hatake. Last he was seen was with two other people wearing the Akatsuki robes." Mei finished.

"Wow. Is there are anything on his abilities?" Kosu asked. Mei shook her head. "Just about his new sharingan. This is helpful information." Mei mumbled moving on to the second folder.

She opened it and gasped at what she saw. "What is it?" Kosu asked. "This file. This is a file of Sakura haruno!" Mei gawked. "What do you mean? Isn't she with konoha?" Kosu said. "Not anymore according to this." Mei sighed before reading the file.

"Sakura Haruno, ex student of Tsunade senju of the Sannin. S-rank criminal. She is also a missing ninja from Konohagakure. She trained under Tsunade for 2 ½ years. Before that was with her teammates Naruto and Sasuke. Her sensei was Kakashi. At her genin level she was considered weak.

Her genjutsu was little bit above average but that changed during those 2 ½ years. She trained with Kurenai yuhi who is considered a specialist in genjutsu. She is an expert medic who has surpassed Tsunade herself.

She had a crush on Sasuke and announced her love to him when he was leaving the village. However she wasn't able to bring him back. Her other teammate Naruto wasn't able to bring Sasuke back either and they promised each other they would become a team again somehow.

She was nearly becoming like Orochimaru who wanted to master all jutsu. However she wanted to become a better medic and strong kunoichi. She started testing on prisoners for her experiments. When the mission came up to find Sasuke when he was going after Itachi at the time she and Naruto jumped at the chance. She and Naruto were successful in helping him.

Although Sasuke escaped their grasps. Later on Sakura's mother was killed on a mission and it broke Sakura's heart. She felt like no one had anything to teach her so she left the village to find Sasuke. Her strength is equal to Tsunade's maybe even stronger. Her whereabouts are unknown." Mei finished.

Kosa was taken back about the medic but quickly shrugged it off; she was waiting to see who was in the third folder. Before even looking at it Mei had a pretty good guess who was in the third folder. She reluctantly picked up the folder. When she opened it she was shaking. "Milady?" Kosa wondered. "This is terrible. I didn't think they would be so willing to let him go." Mei sighed.

"Who is it?" Kosa asked. "Naruto Namikaze. Son of Minato Namikaze the 4th hokage and ex student of the Sannin Jiraiya. Most importantly he is the 9 tailed Jinchuriki." Mei frowned. Kosa was blown away. The son of the fourth hokage and the 9 tailed jinchuriki.

"Naruto Namikaze is an S-rank criminal. He is the 9 tailed jinchuriki and a missing ninja from Konoha. He formed team 7 with Sakura and Sasuke. Naruto was always abused by the villagers. He formed a close bond with Sasuke that he did not want to break. He helped defeat Gaara of the sand at the sound invasion. Later he tried to bring Sasuke back to the village but with no success.

He left for 2 ½ years to train with Jiraiya. He returned to the village but was sent on a mission to save the Kazekage. His mission was successful. He was sent on a mission later to find Orochimaru's spy. The spy was compromised loyal to Orochimaru. Naruto engaged battle with Orochimaru later Sasuke.

The mission was originally to bring Sasuke back but failed. When Naruto returned to the village he enhanced his signature move the Rasengan. After killing the Akatsuki member Kakazu, his mentor and godfather was killed by the Akatsuki leader who is yet to be identified.

The loss of his mentor hit Naruto pretty hard. He later found out he was the son of the 4th hokage. Naruto believed them seeing the resemblance. But secretly he felt betrayed. He stole his father's journals and Jutsu. He tried to leave the village but was delayed by the 5th hokage herself. She failed in convincing Naruto to stay. Rumor says that Naruto and Sakura left the village together hand in hand. Their whereabouts last was in Ame which was two months ago. Naruto explained his motive of leaving the village.

His motive of leaving was the villagers would never accept him as hokage. 2nd he had no one that would look after him besides Sakura and herself; he was devastated by Jiraiya's death and wanted to avenge him. 3rd was that he felt betrayed not too able to know his parentage when he was young. 4th was to get rid of all the restrictions and find Sasuke on his own. That was all he said before leaving the village." Mei read.

For along while they were quiet. "There's something else. This unknown source has told us that Naruto has mastered his fathers prized jutsu, Sakura has a hold of the Salamander contract and Sasuke has mastered Susanoo. They are called the loyalists." Mei finished. Kosu gasped at the last name. Mei caught wind and stared at her with a questioned.

"I have heard of them. I didn't know what it meant, but they the loyalist were named team 7. Source said they all trained under the Sannin. Apparently they are part of Akatsuki." Kosa informed. Mei widened her eyes.

"What do you mean part of Akatsuki? Aren't the Akatsuki trying to capture the jinchuriki? Why would they let Naruto be amongst their ranks?" Mei contemplated. "The last time they were located was wave country." Kosa reported. Mei nodded.

"I want you to send a messanger hawk to Konoha and Suna immediately!" Mei barked. Kosa bowed before running out.

"This is bad. We need to figure this out." Mei sighed.

Wave country

Great Naruto Bridge

3 people were walking down to enter a bridge when one of them sneezed. "AAAHH-CHOO!" The man sneezed. He rubbed his nose. "Bless you, Naruto-kun." A woman cooed. "Thanks Sakura-chan." Naruto thanked. Sakura looked at him confused.

"Naru-kun, I thought you never got sick thanks to Kyuubi?" Sakura said. Naruto shrugged. "I don't. I bet someone is just talking about me." Naruto grinned. The third member on their team stopped. "Guys look." The 2 other members looked up at the gate entrance. Naruto smiled.

"The Great Naruto Bridge hunh?" Naruto whispered. Sakura grabbed his hand and continued walking past the gate. "Yo teme, why are we here again?" Naruto asked. "We have orders to retrieve Zabuza's sword." Sasuke answered. "Then we get back to work right?" Naruto asked. Sasuke nodded. "This place sure has changed." Sakura commented. "So have we." Naruto muttered.

The three members made their way to the grave of Zabuza and Haku. Naruto narrowed his eyes. "Sasuke where the hell is the sword?" Naruto growled. Sasuke sighed. "That damn Suigetsu still has it." Sasuke frowned. "Well let's go find his pissy ass and kick it!" Naruto cheered. "Someone's coming." Sakura warned. The three turned around to see a teenager walking towards them.

The three narrowed their eyes at the boy and remembered who he was. "We better get out of here." Sakura warned. Naruto shrugged and turned around walking away with Sakura and following Sasuke.

The boy caught up to the grave and saw who he thought would never come back. "Naruto? Great I missed him." Inari cursed.

The team made their way out of wave country rather quickly and started heading for Kusa. "He should be there right?" Naruto said. Sasuke nodded while Sakura made a sigh of relief. "So after we kick hozuki's ass, what are we gonna do next?" Naruto asked.

"Well Deidara and Tobi failed their mission to retrieve the Samba, so we have to capture it. After we head over to earth country and kill the feudal lord." Sasuke explained. Naruto nodded understanding their mission. They started to cross the repaired tenchi bridge when they halted in a complete stop. "Shit." Naruto cursed under his breath.

In front of them were 4 people. Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata hyuuga, Shino Aburame and Kakashi Hatake. The 4 leaf ninja gasped in disbelief. Standing in front of them was a blonde, a pink haired girl and a raven haired boy.

The blonde had his hair longer and more shaggier. The top of his hair looked like pointed ears. He wore a skinny Akatsuki cloak that stopped just at his thighs. His cloak was unzipped till it stopped at his abs. he wore long black gloves that came to his elbow. He also had on black pants that stopped a little before his ankle allowing his boots to fit. His whisker marks and blue eyes is what made the konoha ninja recognize him.

The pink haired girl had long hair that was formed into two ponytails. She wore a red top that stopped at her stomach. She wore regular black gloves with the haruno symbol. She wore knee high spandex shorts. Her cloak wrapped around her waist.

The raven haired teen wore a large Akatsuki cloak that perfectly fit Itachi. They could see he was wearing a high white collar shirt. He wore his tunic under the cloak wrapped around his waist was the purple sound rope. He wore shin high boots, also open gloves.

"Naruto?" Hinata stuttered. Naruto didn't answer but was looking at Kakashi who wore a depressed and disappointed expression. "What's wrong, Kakashi?" Naruto smirked earning a frown from the said ninja. "I can't believe this. Naruto why would you of all people join Akatsuki?" Kiba demanded but got no reply from him.

"ANSWER ME DAMN IT!" "Kiba!" Kakashi called his voice stern and serious. Kiba looked at him confused. "This isn't the same Naruto and Sakura you all knew. They are Akatsuki and must be captured." Kakashi warned. "We have no reason to kill you. Move out our way and we will let you live." Sakura warned her voice cold.

"LIKE HELL I WILL! YOU'RE COMING WITH US!" Kiba roared. "Please Kiba calm down." Hinata begged. "NO! Either they come back willingly or I force them. You too Uchiha!" Kiba pointed. Naruto rolled his eyes and made his move. Kiba didn't see it coming; he was greeted with a fist to his face sending him flying back into the forest. "KIBA!" Hinata called.

"It's useless. That was your warning. Let us pass or face a worse punishment than the mutt did." Naruto stated. Letting his instincts to kick in Kakashi back flipped away from Naruto. Naruto only looked at him bored.

"Whether you like it or not you coming back to konoha!" Kakashi stated. Naruto sighed and continued his walk past the bridge. "Sasuke, Sakura-chan. were wasting time lets go." Naruto ordered.

Naruto stopped when he heard chirping sounds.

"You are coming back! All 3 of you!" Kakashi growled holding lightning in his hand. Naruto turned to him. "You're disappointed in us, I can tell. But you're more disappointed in yourself, for letting all 3 us fall to darkness. You know you can't beat us, your asking to be put to death. If you truly want to die you will come at me now with no regrets." Naruto said waiting. Kakashi stared at him. The lightning slowly disappeared.

"Smart choice. Send this message to your hokage. Tell her the loyalists are coming for those damn elders and they better be ready." Naruto said walking off. "Wait!" Shino called. Naruto stopped with Sakura as Sasuke kept walking.

"Why did you let us live?" Shino wondered. "Because I need someone to relay my message. Plus I let you go on a whim, for old time's sake. Let's go Sakura-chan." Naruto said grabbing her hand. She smiled at him and they gave chase for Sasuke.

Kakashi was bewildered. His innocent students have traveled into darkness. He broke his promise to his sensei. The loud mouth, grinning Naruto he once knew was gone. The know it all, lovely Sakura he knew left with him. And Sasuke, Sasuke was just a lost cause.

"I'm sorry. I have failed you all."
