Chapter One: The Fallen Leaf

Konoha was once a peaceful village full of strong and powerful ninjas. It was well known for its medic resources, its strong loyalty, and for the hardworking people of the village. It had many allies and yet many enemies.

And yet, Konoha had one enemy that was known for his own strength. Orochimaru.

Many sound ninjas, under his command, attacked the village by surprise, causing the once powerful village to crumble under the curse of Orochimaru.

Some still lived in the village, protecting what is left or just because they have no where to go that is safe for them or for anyone.

"Home Base, come in Home Base," someone spoke quietly, swiftly walking through an empty alleyway, viewing the site before him. Behind him was a medium size, white furred dog, which walked quietly like his master. His master was tall, spiky brown hair with red paint marks on both of his cheeks. He was thin and pale, the signs of someone tired and hungry.

"Damn headphones," he hissed, staring evilly at the speaker headphones that connected him to his other comrades as well as Home Base. He poked his head out from the alley wall, looking at the abandon streets of Konoha. He sadly frowned, wondering why his own home was now a ghost town. His dog yelped sadly, grabbing his attention. His dog wagged his tail, licking his master's hand. He smiled, petting his dog on the head, "One day, Akamaru, we will change everything," Akamaru barked happily.

"Freakin' mutt face," someone growled out, of course with no heat behind it. It was just worries for his friend, who was now lost in a ruin village with sounds nins that could just pop out of no where. He jumped on a branch, shooting off high in the air. He looked around with his blue eyes, hoping he could spot his comrade's chakra or even his dog. His dog was bound to be with his owner, no matter what happened.

"There," he said, finally spotting a faint blue chakra just 500 meters away. He quickened his pace.

Someone banged their head on a desk, running her fingers through her short pink hair. She was so tired and having many soldiers popping in and out of the hospital wasn't helping one bit. She was about to scream about a girl and her beauty sleep but she knew that Tsunade was going to shout at her, or have her teammate nag at her.

Speaking of, where was that idiot?

She sat up, letting out a rough sigh. She closed her green eyes, hoping no one will disturb her. Too late.

"Sakura, have you seen Naruto?" asked Ino, leaning forward on the high desk. Sakura rubbed her face her hand, sighing again.

"Not recently. Have you tried Home Base, or Tsunade-sannin?" asked Sakura, looking at the blondie. She was tall and thin, but had lost her beauty with all the battles going on and didn't have as much sleep as she use too. Ino sighed, resting her chin on her palm.

"He isn't at Home Base and Tsunade-san said that she kicked him out of her office because he was being annoying about ramen," Ino said, grinning at the last part. Naruto was still the joker, always making them laugh and always changed a tough time to a light hearted day.

"Typical of Naruto," Sakura said, chuckling. She loved her teammate like a brother, who could just be annoying yet make your day cheerful even when it sucked.

"Hey, there you are," came a tired voice. Ino and Sakura looked around the bend, seeing a brown haired jonin walking up to them. His shoulder length hair hung around his face. Both smiled.

"If you're looking for Naruto, you are asking the wrong person," Sakura said, grinning when the boy raised an eyebrow.

"How did you know…"

"I asked her before. He isn't at Home Base nor at Tsunade-san," Ino said, "So, Shika, what do you need him for?"

"He needs to report to base, as well as Kiba," Shikamaru said, sighing. Sakura blinked.

"Kiba hasn't come in yet?" she asked, watching Shikamaru shake his head.

"No, not yet. I think we might have lost contacted with him," Ino smiled.

"Then don't worry. Naruto is looking for him," said Ino, waving her hand, "He can find Kiba easily,"

"I hope so. The sun is going to set soon, I don't need soldiers out there when it is better for them to be inside," Shikarmaru said, scratching his head slightly. He let out a tired sigh, "If he comes in, tell the dobe to get to base,"

"Sure," Sakura said, waving the shadow user goodbye. Ino said goodbye to Sakura, leaving with her teammate.

Sakura was left alone again. She stood up, stretching her tired limbs. She brushed her hair with her fingers, before walking. Maybe she should check on the patients inside the hospital before her job was done.

He quietly walked on, his dog at his heels as he headed towards the base. He noticed the sun was about to set, yet he had no energy to rush off and if he could, he wouldn't. It was too dangerous to speed around, with the ANBU and the sound. Akamaru barked quietly, making him smiled sadly.
"Don't worry buddy, we'll be there soon," he said. He froze, Akamaru bumping lightly behind. He reached slowly for his kunai, sensing the higher up chakra. Damn, if he was ambushed, it might be the end of his life. He heard a thump before quickly turning around, throwing his kunai at the enemy. But it just bounced off, no one their. A poke on his shoulder made him shuddered as he turned around.

"Jeez, Kiba, that is the thanks I get for going off and finding you?" he said, grinning at the dog user. Kiba sighed in relief, relaxing.

"Who sent you?" Kiba asked

"Anko said that they lost you so I decided to go looking for ya,"

"Naruto, thanks," Kiba said, smiling at his blond friend.

Many years of war have changed everyone's looks, but Naruto was different. He still was able to light up a room with a grin and say something stupid. He was taller then the other 'rookies'. His spike bright yellow hair was covered by his headband, easily able to hide it when he was in his ANBU outfit. His blue eyes where still the color of the sea. His skin was still tanned, not once showing the damage of wounds on his limbs. On his cheeks were faint lines, or as Naruto called it, whisker marks. He no longer wore orange, finally ditching the color after he as easily caught by sounds Nins. Instead, he wore dark green shorts, with his shurinken holder on his right leg. He wore black sandals, and a tight black tee and a black jacket. He wore arm guards, which were just metal, over his lower arms, along with leather gloves.

"Come on, lets head back before everyone freaks out we aren't there," Naruto said, grinning. Kiba nodded, following the blond towards the base. He thanks the gods that it was Naruto that came for him. Naruto was the strongest of all the 'rookies', and he was still a genin! He was easily placed as an ANBU once the war started, being Tsunade's right hand man.

Naruto had developed after he trained with his sensei, Kakashi. When he returned back to Konoha, he changed in his chakra energy. It was awesome in some freakishly way. He had learned powerful moves, also thanks to Lee's taijutsu training. Yes, Naruto did get trained by Lee.

Kiba looked at the back of Naruto's head. As on que, the blond turned his head, grinning at the dog user. Kiba smiled back tiredly, only to hear his stomach rumble.

Man, how he hated war.
