The Origins:

Chapter 1: A familiar visitor in Konoha! Old allies and new friends!

The dark forests of the Fire country, dangerous and surrounded by all kinds of dangers, a normal person would have been afraid to travel trough this forests at night. However the travelers that were seen going through the forest tonight were not normal people... Agile, swift and precise, these three travelers that jumped from branch to branch in these massive trees had only one name: Ninja, and there were a lot of them in this world.

When a ninja has an objective, and little time to accomplish it he would not sleep, rest or stop for anything until he completed his mission. This was the case for these three masked figures, all of them wearing sowrds in the back, two of them wearing ninja baggy pants, and typical japanese robes, black sandals with white socks beneath them and using full masks on their faces with forehead metal protectors on them, however, unlike normal head protectors, these didn't posses an emblem on them. Usually, a ninja would wear a head protector with an engraved emblem of their ninja village, however these head protectors were unmarked. The last one of them however, who travelled slightly behind the other two, wore a tight black leather sleeveless leather shirt and black pants that were covered from the knee down by black leg protectors, but the most noticeable aspect of his clothing was the black trenchcoat he wore, that was only colored by the golden symbol of a dragon in both sleeves, the neck the back, the last one covering the most space. He was masked only from the nose down with a thin cloth layer, and left his blonde hair flowing in the cool night air, his blue eyes reflecting no emotion, just like the blue eyes of his two companions.

These three had one target, one objective, one place that none of their clan had seen for a long time:

Konoha...

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

"YEEEAAAHHH! I ROCK!" A thousand bunch of young, blonde, blue eyed, identical teenage men screamed as they made their wind chakra flow trough the waterfall once more, cutting it in half.

"Naruto... don't you think it's a little late to be training?" a cloth masked, white haired figure asked one of the blonde boys that stood in the giant trunk. He wore the typical attire of a jounin level Konoha ninja, except that the forehead protector was used to cover one of his eyes "You're gonna tire yourself out..." he said. The boy only answered with a wide smile, and suddenly dissapeared in a cloud of white smoke, followed by the rest of the identical blonde teenage boys standing in that trunk, leaving only one in the end.

"Sorry, Kakashi-sensei...!" the boy said with a grin, "I guess I just got too carried away in my training". It had been 5 days since Naruto had discovered his chakra element, and ever since he had been training everyday to use it. Using his massive amount of Shadow Clones to accelerate his training. While he hadn't managed to produce the technique that would surpass even the great Rasengan and Raikiri techniques, he had become quite good in the use of Wind elemental techniques.

"That's alright, Naruto" Kakashi replied as he jumped off the trunk, followed closely by Naruto. Suddenly Kakashi looked up to the sky and noticed something weird. "The dragon constellation..." Kakashi said in surprise as he looked up in the sky "Its stars are glowing more brightly than usual...". "What was that?" a curious Naruto asked as he turned to the sky as well. "Oh, nothing... Go back to sleep, Naruto" Kakashi said, finally getting into his sleeping bag, and once Naruto had gotten to his sleeping bag as well he turned to the sky again. "At least I hope it's nothing..." Kakashi murmured as he began to fall asleep.

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

"KAKASHI- SEMPAI!" A couple of cat masked men, came running from the small forest in the village, running, waking everyone up about an hour after they had gone to sleep "Yamato-sempai!".

Kakashi groaned, and mumbled under his breath however, and just turned to ignore the two men that were disturbing his sleep. While they were ANBU members, and probably whatever they had come to say was a little bit important, he doubted it was as important as his daily sleep. However Yamatou did get up, and turned to both ANBU members. "What's the matter gentlemen!" Yamatou asked as he yawned just a little bit ad rubbed his eyes. "Hokage-sama has asked for your inmediate presence!"the ANBU officer announced with a reverent tone in his voice.

"Arrgghhh..." Naruto groaned, as a complaint to all the noise these two ANBU officers were making "Whatever Tsunade Oba-san wants with us, I'm sure it can wait until tomorow morning...". The kid then yawned and went to sleep again, while the ANBU officers made, under their breaths, offended comments about his great disrespect towards the Hokage.

"I'm sorry, but it can't... Kakashi-sensei, Naruto-kun..." the ninja replied, nervously "It's about some unexpected visitors we received jus about 15 minutes ago...". "Oh... and who would that be?" Kakashi asked, as he turned towards both ANBU officers, raising an eyebrow in interest.

"Hayabusa ninja... Kakashi-sempai..." at the mention of these words, Kakashi's surprised expression could be seen even trough his cloth mask. Then he slowly got up from his sleeping bag and dusted off his pants. "Lead the way..." he said to the ANBU officer then he turned to Naruto "Let's go, Naruto...". "Damn... And I was having such a good dream about Ramen..." Naruto complained as he got off his sleeping bag as well, yawning and stretching. He then took his orange jumpsuit, the new one he had bought while training with Jiraiya and began to put it on. After a couple of minutes, he was ready.

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

"Kakashi-sensei..." Naruto asked as the group leaded by the two ANBU officers advanced trough the forest "What's all this about! Who are these Hayabusa ninja?"."They are a clan, Naruto" Kakashi replied, as he turned and started running backwards while facing Naruto "Much like the Uchiha, or the Hyuuga... except...".

"What!" Naruto asked eagerly "Except what?". "Well, the Uchiha and the Hyuuga clan were great families that in a way... belonged to Konoha, much like any other Ninja clan, that belong to a certain village..." Kakashi eplained, thoughtfully. "So...?" Naruto kept pushing at Kakashi's silence. "So... the Hayabusa is a clan so big and so powerful... that they have their own village, or I should say that at least it used to be a clan so big that they had their own village...". "Why? What happened with it?" Naruto asked in confusion. "Nobody knows..." Kakashi replied "One day the village burnt, and their villagers were nowhere to be found... the only thing left intact in the forest that they inhabited was a graveyard...".

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

"UNACCEPTABLE!" the Gondaime's voice was heard all over the building, making everyone tremble at the strenght of her screams "THIS CANNOT BE ALLOWED!". In her office, the three mysterious figures that once traveled trough the forest stood before her desk, while the one in the middle, the one with the trenchcoat just handed a folder to the great Sannin. "It's all there, Hokage sama..." the blonde haired man replied. While he looked much younger than Tsunade, even in her young form, he also seemed to be a little bit over the 18 years of age, as far as the cloth mask allowed anyone to see.

"I beg your pardon for such an unreasonable request... but you do know that traditions demand that you fulfill this request..." the young man said, taking a seat in the chair that stood before Tsnuade's desk. "I must ask for your cooperation, Hokage-sama...". "I'm sorry, but our village is already suffering from a shortage of ninja as it is..." Tsunade said as she reclined on her seat, rubbing her forehead with both fingers in a thoughtful expression "I'm afraid that I have no ninja to spare at the moment...".

"You are aware... that Orochimaru and the Akatsuki will be drawn to this as well..." the young man said as he crossed his arms. "As I understand it... that further the interest of some of your... younger talented ninjas...". "You've done your homework, haven't you? You want Naruto..." the Hokage said as she once again sat up straight "Fair enough, but on three conditions... One: You will train him, teach him some Hayabusa techniques, so that he can defend himself against Orochimaru and the Akatsuki...".

"Alright... what's number two?" The Hayabusa clan representative asked as his eyes sparkled in interest. "Two: You will pick from a list of Chuunin that I'm about to give you, three companions for him in this mission..." The great Hokage said, reaching for her files into a folder that spelled 'Chuunin' on the cover.

"And three?" the Hayabusa representative asked, then suddenly there was a big crash in the window, to wich both of the other Hayabusa ninja reacted surprisedly, while the Hayabusa representative and Tsunade, didn't even blink or take their eyes off each other. Then Naruto came rolling into the room, followed by the two ANBU officials that guided him, who were now trying to catch him. Then Kakashi and Yamatou came trough the window as well, walking normally from the balcony.

"Condition three: Naruto must agree to do this..." Tsunade said as she signaled the ANBU officers to leave the room...

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

"WHAT!" Naruto yelled angrily, once Tsunade had explained the details to him.

The Hayabusa Ninja Clan had come to Konoha to make a request, since tradition demanded that Konoha had a long time debt with the Hayabusa Clan (for reasons Tsunade refused to explain), it was established that the Konoha Hidden village had to fulfill any of the Hayabusa's request. So, he was being sent on a mission to help the Hayabusa Ninja Clan against some... unknown threat.

"I'm supposed to be loking for Sasuke! I'm supposed to be fighting those Akatsuki bastards!" Naruto protested "I'm not going to be the errand boy for these clowns...". Naruto's yelling had been loud, really loud. However the while the two Ninja's that stood next to the young representatives spoke. The young blonde man sitting on the chair was mostly unaltered. At the end of Naruto's statement, he only replied "So that's why they call him 'The Loudest Ninja in Konoha...'" to this, an enraged Naruto tried to punch the Hayabusa, only to be stopped by the sword of one of the other touching the skin of his neck.

"Listen, Naruto..." Tsunade explained seriously as she stood from her desk staring into the night sky trough the window "I would never send you to any mission like that without taking that in mind..."."That's right, kid" the Hayabusa ninja said "We picked you for this mission because, this threat that Tsunade described, is in fact so big that it will definitely call the attention of Orochimaru and The Akatsuki... and if Orochimaru is called by this threat then... so will be the Uchiha kid".

"What!" Naruto said, inmediately calming down after hearing these words. "And why would you take me?" Naruto asked him in doubt. "Because... you may one day become as strong as him...!" The Hayabusa ninja replied, by pointing to a picture of the Yondaime "My name is Maki... Maki Hayabusa...".

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki..." he replied "The future Hokage of this village!".

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

The night after that Naruto slept on his own house, the little apartment that he had been given by the Sandaime Hokage many years ago. After a while of rolling and thinking over and over in his head what this mission would be like, caused by the announcement that the details of this mission were to be undisclosed until they left the village, he finally managed to sleep. For about 8 hours his sleep was peaceful. And then...

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

RYUU...

What was that voice, that called from nowhere, who were they calling for?

RYUU...

Why was that name so familiar to him, Naruto kept turning around as he floated in the darkness of his own dreams. A number of violent images suddenly crossed trough Naruto's mind, as he saw a Ninja battle trough many battles, and after cutting trough the darkness that had cursed him for long, he finally retired to the shadows. Like a ninja should... specially...

A dragon ninja...

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

Naruto slowly opened his eyes only to find himself facing the smiling unmasked face of a very familiar ninja. The Hayabusa ninja that he had met yesterday. Maki...

"HAYABUSA-SAN!" he yelled as he suddenly realized that there was a man he barely knew standing over his bed and watching him sleep "GET AWAY FROM ME!".

"Sorry, kid, but I can't do that!" The Hayabusa ninja replied as he handed Naruto his clothes "It's time for us to puzzle our team together!".

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