The others' clans protected them. So, that ,they are safe and they try to help Tenten and Lee. The others and their clans, try to help as best they can do for Naruto also. Naruto was having stay with Jiraiya in the village, because the villagers burned down his apartment. Naruto is about to flee when Jiraiya and Kakashi come for him and take him to Tsunade...

and now the story...

Pre-story

Tsunade looked sadly at the boy who she called her brother now. His blond hair was dirty and had a little blood in it from a fight that he must have gotten into. His face was bruised and his normally sparking blue eyes were down cased. ' Why can't they just leave him alone. He tried his best... no, is, trying his best, to bring back Susuke. The Villagers should be spitting at his, Susuke's, name and want his head, not want him back... after all he has done' Tsunade thought with mixed a motions. She looked at Kakashi and Jiraiya, both of whom she had bring Naruto to her, and nodded. Kakashi bowed his head and vanished, in a poof of smoke, from the room but Jiraiya stayed and crossed his arms, looking at her waiting. Tsunade sighed and knew she was going to have to tell Naruto with him there.

"Naruto... I am going to send you on a mission" Tsunade began. Naruto's head spiked up, his ears and eyes where fully on her. "But Baa-chan I have to find Susuke. I do-" Naruto had began to exclaim but Tsunade interrupted. "NARUTO SHUT IT... This is not going to be an easy mission. In fact, it might be more then a little dangerous. I want you to accompany a woman who... may help you". "What do you mean by that" Jiraiya begin "I'm the one who is training him! Not some woman that I don't know and you-". Tsunade slammed her hand down on the table, that shook and creaked, and glared at Jiraiya to shut up, he did so... though muttered something under his breath.

"I want you to go with this woman and learn all you can from her, Naruto. Rock Lee and TenTen will be joining you on this mission. She is taking you three away for a bit to train you. She came here saying that she would only train you, Lee, and Tenten. I don't know why but she said that all of you had to excepted her offer for her to take anyone of you. All we are doing is waiting for Gai's team and Kakashi to bring your new Sensei" Tsunade said trying hard not to look at Jiraiya, for his face was red and if you looked at his ears they had steam coming out of them. Not that Tsunade could blame him but she had to think what was best for the village, the ninja and Naruto, Lee and Tenten.

After a few minuets of waiting and the three of them uncomfortable because of the long silent wait. The knock at the door made the three jump a little in there chairs. "Enter" Tsunade called out and Gai's team stepped into the room. Gai was smiling, sadly, and taking to Lee, both of them talking about 'youthful training' that they would do. Neji and Tenten's eyes looked glazed over and both of then had an annoying look on their faces', not that any sane person could blame them. Naruto turned in his seat to look at Gai's team. Lee's face was scratched up and their were a few bruises and his arm was in a make-shift sling, thanks to the villagers, for being a 'demon lover'. Tenten looked better but still had bumps and bruises on her, and her shoulder was rapped up. Neji looked fine, but look worn out, though he was glancing at Tenten with a worried look on his face. Gai had a black eye but looked fine other then that.

"What happened to you four" Tsunade exclaimed. "Lee and Tenten were being harassed by some of the villagers" Neji said " both of them were separate from each other and it took a bit to get the ninja and villagers off them". Though Neji's face and voice were neutral, his eyes looked like they were on fire with hatred and anger. Gai then said " Luckily a team of Black OPS were around to help or Neji and I would not be able to keep them held up for long". Tsunade looked at Gai, her face in shock. "Ninja... leaf ninja attacking there own..." She said in a whisper. Gai hung his head and said sorrowful "I'm afraid so...Lady Hokage".

Jiraiya stood and walked over to the window. The rain outside poring down and the dark light coming slowly in. Jiraiya turned and walked over to Tsunade and slammed his hands on her desk getting everyones attention. "Let me take them. I'll train them till i feel they are ready. Then I'll bring them back when they are ready" He said looking Tsunade straight in the eye. Tsunade looked at him and opened her mouth saying " Jiraiya, we-"

"We both know you do not have the time and energy to chase after the Akatsuki and to watch three 'demon tainted' children" a voice said above them.

Naruto's head snapped up to see a robed woman, her head hooded and no-one could see her face, standing on the ceiling. His blood boiled and he stood up and yelled angry at the woman. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING 'DEMON TAINTED'. WHY DON'T YOU COME DOWN HERE AND SAY THAT YOU, WITCH!!!" Naruto yelled at the top of his lungs. The woman then disappeared and reappeared in front of him, he though, still could not see her face. "That, child, was not an insult on you. You have a demon sealed inside you. The child dressed in green... his energy and life stream were eaten by a demon. He is lucky to still have his life stream and the little bit of energy stream within his body. The young woman's soul is part demon, do to the fact that it did some dark things in the past and now is trying to make better of it and joined with a pure soul, making her soul ¼ dark and the other ¾ pure. Your demon's and your energy streams and life lines are so intertwine and for that some of it's power, bloodline, magic, and other things will pass to you; for even I can feel, you are absorbing it tainted kitsune" the voice said matter-of-fact like. Naruto felt shocked to say the lest and fell back into his chair. Slowly he glanced at the few in the room... all of them had the look of udder disbelieve on there faces. The robed and hooded woman turned to Tsunade and bowed. "My deepest sorries on being late Malady Hokage. I was healing some of the trees in some of the area...and I got into a small fight with one of your ninja" The woman said pushing her hood back.

Naruto could not help but stair. The Woman's hair was Whitish-silver, and had streaks of gold in it, and if you looked closer you could see rainbow-like colors in it. Her ears were long and pointed. Her eyes were pure white and looked odd (i.e. American looking eyes...they have Japanese looking eyes ... if you did not know... if so ignore this...), to him at lest, they were set unlike other people he has ever seen. She had a squarish-oval like face and a stubborn chin. She was 15 cm taller then he was ( Naruto is 4'9'' ... or in centimeters 145 cm... she is 5'3'' or 160 cm) and had fair white skin. She had on the baggy robe that hide her body, so there was nothing to see.

The Woman looked at Jiraiya and then turned so that she was facing Gai's team and Naruto. " My name is Kalinea. As you can see, I am not human. I was once a long time ago but that is in the passed. I like trailing around different worlds, helping and teaching people. You, Naruto, Rock Lee and Tenten, are the ones that I have chosen to teach. All orphans. All have need to improve your selfs; so that you could better your selfs. Your hearts are pure. A reason why I am going to teach you. That, though, is your choice" Kalinea said looking at them. She looked a Lee and said " you, Lee-kun, walked in lonely shadows. You could not do things what others could and that marked you. You strive to prove to your self and others that you are truly strong... when you are. Many would have quite if they where in your shoes for at lest one day". Lee looked down with tears in his eyes, but he did not cry. Kalinea then looked at Tenten and said "You, Tenten-sama, could never find yourself. No mater how you looked. You tried your hardest to show those who watched you to really notice you. Yet, you have not noticed your self. You stand in a cir cal that you can not see out. You close your self to those around you...and now to your soul-mate. Tenten, if you close your self to your soul-mate, you'll be lost" The Woman said softly, only saying those words for Tenten, even though there were other people in the room. Tenten looked at the woman, then ducked her head down, hiding her tears. "There is no shame in crying" She said then the woman looked at Naruto.

Naruto looked into the woman's eyes. They were once pure white, now they have changed to a dark blue. Her face was sad and hurt was written on it. Kalinea kneel down, so that she was looking up at Naruto. Naruto sat in the chair. He felt his heart drop down into his stomach Then she spoke to him.

"Naruto-kun... we are alike you and i" she said "i, too, was alone. Even though i had a family...i was dead to them. I was different, odd and an embarrassment to my family. Not my mom, she fought to have me. Yet she could never see me for me. Not my father, he tried so hard to protected me... for in his eye, i was fragile. I was not. I protected them... and died for it." She smiled sadly and said "Lucky them, they watched there child rise and kill the devils that where slaying people. I saved lives that day. Yet i lost my mortality...yet i was always lost. Yet still i was an outcast to them... my sister and the others, for my differentness...and i was, and still am, hurt. You, Naruto-kun, have walked a very lonely road, that no child should bare alone but you have. Now, though, my friends and i will help you grow. That is, if all three of you chose to." Kalinea got up,walked over to the window and looked out of it. There was a long minute before she spoke again. "How much time shall they have Hokage-sama" she asked not turning around.

Naruto looked over at Tsunade. She was looking at her desk, her fist clenched, tears running down her face. Naruto did not know what to do. He slowly got up and walked over the woman that he thought more of like a mother or sister then the Hokage. He hesitantly put his hand on the woman's shoulder. Tsunade looked at him, and he looked at her. He opened his lips to say something, when her hand lad itself over mouth. " You... Uzumaki Naruto, Rock Lee and Tenten... have in-till the end of today and till tomorrow at 7 o'clock sharp in the morning to make your decision...go ...please...all of you" she said putting her head down on her desk.

Naruto looked over at Jiraiya, and turned and walked out the door, stopping to see if everyone was coming. Naruto watched Lee limp over to him, putting his hand on him. "Come, Naruto-kun, lets go for some ramen" Lee said and limped out the door. Tenten, still crying, holding onto Neji, who was in a daze, walked out following Lee. Neji stopped and said to Naruto "are you coming" before letting Tenten 'drag' him off. He watched as Jiraiya sat down in one of the chairs in front of Tsunade's desk. Gai walked out, his face for the first time truly upset and hurt, that Naruto could remember, patting Naruto on the head. Kalinea looked at him, then at Tsunade and Jiraiya. "I will leave you be... i am sorry...Jiraiya-san?" Kalinea said. Jiraiya looked at her with cold eyes and said "what". The woman raised an eyebrow and said "i know he is like a son or grandson to you...do not have any worries about him. I just wanted to know what the bloodline from Lee-kun, Tenten-sama and Naruto-kun are on both sides of there parents... i will keep him and the others safe. I will leave now and explore the village or go to the hospital and heal people. Stars go with you". With that the small woman walked over the the window and took off her robe. Five long pairs of golden feathers sprouting from her back. She opened the window and stepped onto the roof and the feathers became large wings. She looked back and smiled, her eyes still blue and vanished into thin air.

Naruto stared in disbelieve. Then ran to catch up with the others thinking. ' Maybe... we should go with her'.

Tenten was sitting with Naruto, Iruka, Lee, Neji, Gai, Sakura and a beaten up Kakashi. When They got to the ramen place, Ichiraku Noodle Bar, Sakura and Kakashi and Iruka were already there waiting for them. "Kakashi-Sensei you look like hell" Naruto said to Kakashi. Tenten glanced a Naruto and Sakura's teacher. 'I hate to say it but he's right' Tenten thought. Kakashi had one arm in a sling, the other arm had wrappings around it. His left leg had a cased on and the other had a splint on it's foot. He had on a normal black t-shirt, so that Tenten could see the wrappings around his chest and waist-line.

Kakashi winced and looked at Naruto. "I would never want to face that ... woman again" Kakashi said, shaking his head. "What happened" Naruto asked, you could tell he was a little confused. " Tsunade asked me to get that woman, right" Kakashi said looking at Naruto. Naruto nodded and Kakashi continued. " Well, i found her in the training grounds... she was... she turned a stomp back into a tree" he said quietly, every one looked shocked to hear his words. Tenten felt her eyes widen. 'wow...she made a dead tree turn to life' she thought. "I went behind her and tapped the woman on the shoulder... and then i ... was in the hospital..." Kakashi said as he squirmed in his chair. Tenten knew that he was not telling everything but she was not going to speak her mind right then. Naruto on the other hand did. "She said that you two got into a fight" he said. Kakashi looked at him. "it wasn't a fight...it was a pummeling" a deep voice said behind them.

Tenten turned in her chair to see a tall man standing next to a small girl about her age. The man was tall, about a little over seven feet tall. The Man was built to show off a little balk that was on his body. His eyes were a deep grayish-green and his hair was black but the roots were a vivid reddish-orange. He wore a v-neck t-shirt with out the sleeves that was a little tight, over it and open was a long dark blue coat with many pockets that also did not have sleeves to it. His pants were black, scale-like, leather that went under the knee-high black boots. The man had a very sharp face and fetchers, thought his face was heart shaped, ever thing else had a predatory look to it, tan skin covered his body (that Tenten could see of it). The girl had fetchers like the woman in Lady Tsunade's office but the girls hair was a light brown and her eyes were a dark brown. The girls skin matched the womans and the long ears and strange-shaped eyes and stood about 3' 9 1/2'' tall. Unlike the woman you could see this girls shape, which was small, strong and robust. She had big hips and a big chest to her even wearing the clothing that she was. She had on a baggy dark red t-shirt and a pair of knee-high yellow shorts, with a long flap-like thing in front and back that was tied together with a red belt. The flaps had a design on it, a sword with a dragon on it with ivy and the dragon's tail raped around the blade on the front flap and the back it had two circus linked together both of them having there own symbol but it just looked like lines to Tenten. The odd thing about the girl was the long feather-furred-haired tail and her left hand was deformed having only three digits to it. The one digit looked like a normal thumb but the other two where long and only had two knuckles for both of the 'fingers'...so one finger had two knuckles. The hand looked clumsily and misshaped, when Tenten saw it she felt pity for the girl.

The man chuckled at the glare he received from Kakaish and said " sorry but it's the truth... may we join you." The small girl walked over to Kakaish as the man spoke and put her odd hand lightly on his arm. A green-blue light glowed and then vanished and the girl smiled. Kakaish blinked and looked shocked, and started to unwrap his bandages. The girl went to the others then , last, to Tenten. The pale young girl looked up at her and smiled and said "mother, gets easily distracted and was most likely a little confused and not thinking... a reason why she most have not healed you. She really needs to start taking her medicine more often", placed her hand on Tenten. Tenten felt warm and then the pain went away. The girl looked tired but satisfied. Lee hastily exploded, quickly out of the 'blue' "YOSH... THAT WAS AMAZING. YOU YOUTHFUL HEALING HAS HEALED ALL OF US WITH JUST A TOUCH. YOU SHOULD GO TO THE UN-YOUTHFUL HOSPITAL AND HEAL ALL THE YOUTHFUL PEOPLE". Then the Gai/Lee's started and ended with the 'hug of doom', Tenten looked down at the poor girl who looked like she was going to have a heart-attack, then over at the man who's left eye was twitching and was edging around the 'youthful due-o'. Then Lee made a bad mistake and grabbed the girl's hands. The poor girl shrieked and jumped into the air, at the same time freeing her hands from Lee grasp, and spun-kicked Lee into the nearest building and then hided behind Tenten, shaking.

Tenten had to, with all her might, not crack a full smile and had to put her hand over her mouth to stop the chuckles that were starting to escape it. Naruto, who was watching, fell off his chair and was rolling on the floor...most likely because the girl was hiding, after she just knocked out the 'Green Beast Clone'. Neji looked shocked , for Lee had gone through three buildings and was twitching from where they could see him, a ghost smile started to form on his lips. Sakura had looked shocked also and had ran to Lee... and was dragging him back to the group, now. Iruka and Kakashi were looking at each other not saying a word and Gai was standing there with his mouth open, for his prized student was just sent through three stone and wooden buildings. The man with the girl was doubled over laughing as tears started to run down his face.

Tenten looked down at the girl who was now saying "I'm sorry" over and over again with her head down and hidden from her, she had ducked under the counter putting Tenten and the counter between her and the others (Tenten was at the end of the counter). Tenten got off her stool and placed a genital hand on her. The girl looked up with tears in her eyes. They ran half way down her face before they became crystal-like gems. Tenten was a little taken back, then said " you know that sending someone you just meet through some buildings is not a good impression on people" with a smile. The girl looked at Tenten, as if trying to read her, then smiled and said "yes...but one should not scare others out of their wits". Tenten helped her up and she slowly walked over to Lee, who Sakura just dragged back, and healed him. Though Lee did not get up. Tenten looked a the girl, questioningly. The girl faced the inquisitive faces-es in front of her and said "... I healed him...but made him go to sleep...he...um...scared me a bit" has she rubbed the back of her head embarrassedly. At that Tenten, Sakura, Iruka, Naruto and The man started laughing. Neji had put his head down on the counter top and was trying , with all his might, hard not to crack up. Gai looked a bit peeved and muttering something about "un-youghtful people". The Laughter died away excepted for the occasional snicker or giggle from the group.

The girl waited till the ninja had a hold on themselves before coughing to get their attention. "I must apologize for our rudeness. My name is Rena and this is Master Nao. He is a master of weapons and fighting skills expert of those who will teach you and myself. I am Kalinea's daughter. I am studying to become a Balance-Keeper one day, so I have to visit many worlds. I will be most honored to have other people to train with my friend and my self" Rena said quietly. Nao walked over to Rena and smiled has he lad his hand on her head. "We came to meet those that Kalinea and Morio choose." Nao said loudly.

Tenten looked at Naruto, Sakura and Neji. Then turned to Nao and Rena and said "we still have till the end of today and tomorrow till 7 o'clock in the morning to make our decision". Both of them looked thoughtful for a minute the Rena clapped her hands together grinning, her tail was twitching behind her happily. "Perhapses we can spar. I would like to see what ninja of this world are capable of and what you can do" Rena said happy. Tenten looked down at Lee, who had his thumb in his mouth with Naruto poking him with a twig, and looked at Neji and Sakura. Sakura was turning red and looked like she was going to kill Naruto and Neji looked thoughtful, though she could not read his closed exasperation.

Tenten turned to Rena and said "sure I'll take you to the training grounds and we can spar". 'This will give me an idea what we might become if we go with them' Tenten thought to herself as she got up and started to walk to the training grounds. The sun had come out now and so were many people. It was soon to be mid-day but Tenten only had one thought in her head. 'I need to impress Neji and the others...and myself'.

Lee dragged him self behind the others. He was still tired do to the "Sleep Spell" that Rena put on him. He listened to Naruto, envious that the younger boy could use ninjustu and genjustu. Right now the hyper blond boy was bugging the smaller girl about the justu that she used on Lee. Naruto then got waked on the head by his lovely Sakura. ' Yosh... Sakura looks ever so lovely today. Oh my beloved cherry bloom, how do I wish I could hold your wonderful flawless hand,' Lee had barely noticed the tall man, Nao, drop back.

Lee's fuzzy eyebrows knitted together and hided behind the closest tree to watch the man. Nao had also went behind a tree and jumped up onto a branch, without stringing a leaf. Lee felt his eyes widen, then he felt a few presents following them. Nao glanced back and nodded to Lee then pointed up to the trees and then pointed to the right. Lee then nodded understanding that Nao wanted Lee up in the trees and over to the right. Lee jumped up onto a branch and moved over a few trees over to the right and then flattened himself agents the branch.

Lee watched as a four ninja and about ten villagers come down the path that led to the teams training grounds. Nao jumped down and said to the group of people " nice day for a stroll wouldn't you say". Both ninja and villagers jumped and turned to face the man. Nao looked calmly at them, leaning up to the tree, and rubbing his nails on his coat. "What are you doing here... only ninja are so-posed to be here" one of the ninja said angry. Nao looked at the man and then said "really... then why are these villagers here" as he said this, Nao raised an eyebrow and look at the man like he had two heads. The villagers sputter and then one of them shouted "we are villagers of the leaf village and we can go were ever in the village if given the permission from a ninja in entering the training grounds". Lee's felt his face scolded. That was an out and out lie. No villager was allowed in the training grounds, and Nao and Rena were not villagers, they were fighters, so they were allowed, with permission that is. Also they said that they had a note ,and they did ( a note from Tsunade), saying that they could use the grounds as they pleased wail their stay.

Lee pulled out a couple of shuriken and steadied himself. He then felt a shadow behind him, and he turned slowly to find a fellow leaf ninja behind him with his katana drawn and raised to kill. Lee tossed his shuriken at the man and dropped from the tree, landing on his feet, he turned to see Nao engaged in combat with the four ninja and the villagers coming at him. All of the sudden Lee felt a hard hit to his face at sent him to the ground. Rolling out of the way and throwing a hard kick to the ninja, that Lee could see was a Chunin, that sent him flying back into the tree. The Chunin dropped his katana and then shook his head and got back up to his feet and charged Lee. Waiting for the right moment, Lee, front flipped over the man's head and landed behind him, sweeping the man's legs out from under him, and punching the man hard into the man's skull that Lee heard a sickening cracking sound, knocking the man out cold. Lee looked up to see the villagers approach him with spears, rocks and bows fitted with arrows. Lee felt tears start to fall down his face and took a deep breath and charge the villagers.

Lee ran circus around the ten villagers and then attacked one of them before jumping back and running again. ' If I am able to confuse them and take them out one by one quickly, then I can go help Master Nao. I just need to knock them out with out hurting them... even if they want to hurt me' Lee thought to himself. He attacked an older teen, striking him across the head before dashing away. The teen fell to the ground with a groan but did not get back up. By the time four of the villagers were left standing, Lee had been just running up to them and bopping them on their heads. Now , these four villagers had their backs to one another, Lee could not just sneak up to them to knock them out. Stopping to let the cloud of dust clear, he glanced over at the other man.

Nao had knocked out two Chunins and was facing two Jonins. He had his coat off and was fighting hand to weapon. Nao's hand then slashed one of the Jonins's face and then turned to the other man and attacked ruthlessly. Nao had cuts on his chest and arms, and a serous wound to his side that bleed profusely. Nao and the Jonin fought for a few secants, in a blur, before Nao punched the man in his chest. The Jonin tried to block but to no avail, he was sent into and through a couple of trees. The Jonin landed on the ground, out cold. Nao was watching the fallen ninja, and had forgotten the Jonin that he had scratched. The bloody Jonin had gotten to his feet and charged Nao.

Lee felt his breath lock up in his chest and forgot his own battle. "LOOK OUT" Lee yelled to his comrade. Then he felt the sharp cold hard metal of a villagers spear, pierce his left side. Luck would have it that the villager was unskilled in the weapon or Lee would have a more grave wound. The wound hurt but Lee ignored it. Lee grabbed the spear with both hands and said to the villager " your youthful fighting is very unyoughtful on fighting one of your own people". "Your not one of us, you filthy demon-lover. Your going to die hear after you let the Great Uchiha go and protecting that monster. That brat should have died. Now he has brain washed our children. Come with us and kill the demon brat who took the 4th from us and be redeemed or die here protecting that monster" the villager said with a sneer and a hateful look. Lee smiled comely " then I will die to protect my friend and comrade who put life and lime to save this village. He is more a hero then that traitor Susuke, who turned his back on this village for power. No, I will youghtfuly lay down my life to save the one you call a monster. For he is not, he is more human then you are, and you are the unyoughtful monster", Lee said letting a tear run down his face, "he is a fellow ninja and the one that I name brother". The villagers faces twisted into angry scolds and the village holding the spear that pierced Lee's body pushed harder onto the wooden pole. Lee gasped and then fractiously ripped the weapon from his side and then flipped up into the air and landed onto a tree.

Lee ducked behind the tree and let his tears run down his face. ' Neji' and a vision of the said person appeared in Lee's minds eye. 'Tenten', the female ninja appeared, joining Neji, his 'friend' and team-mate. 'Naruto' the young goof-ball joined them smiling at Lee. 'Gai-sensei' and his roll-model appeared, giving Lee a thumbs up. Then Lee thought of the one person that he loved, and the thought of her being unprotected and in danger from the crazed villagers, sent Lee's heart into a mad rage. "Sakura, my love, I will protected you. That is my word". Lee's face set it's self in new determination and the boy got up and disappeared from the spot were he was a secant ago.

Nao's left arm hung uselessly that his side as he battled the Jonin, when Lee appeared behind the man and spin-kicked the man into a tree. Nao watched the man sail into the tree and crumple to the floor of the woods. Nao turned and looked back at Lee to see the boy wounded. Nao frowned, then looked over to where the villagers were, to see four villagers grouped together truckling over to were there fallen were. Nao looked at Lee and said " get my coat, please, kid". Lee limped over to the coat at were a Chunin had fallen and picked up the peace of clothing. "I got it, Nao-s-" Lee was interrupted by the feeling of the Chunin's short sword running him throw. Lee's eyes widened and his knees bucked as everything begin to blur.

Lee felt the blade being pulled from his body as his hands grasped the wound. Blood pored from the wound and he coughed it up. The trees and surroundings blurred in and out. Lee pressed on his wound and tried to move has the sounds of battle reached his ears. Lee gasped at the pain, for he felt nothing like it. He had been stabbed a few times, but nothing that made him waver in pain like this. Lee rolled onto his stomach with his left hand clenching the painful wound in his abdomen. The sword had ran through Lee's intestines but luckily missed his spin. He cried out in pain as his stomach emptied itself and he throw up some more blood.

Lee heard a cruel laugh and looked up to see the villager that had speared him point his spear at Lee's throat. "Well, it looks like I get to kill you after all. Good thing we poisoned our weapons, heh. Now be a good demon-lover and die, so we can go after the real demon brat that carries the nine-tail fox" the man-villager said with glee. Lee looked up with unfocused eyes and smiled. Lee then said forcing the words out of his mouth with effort "the only demon here is you". The man's face twisted itself and Lee thought for a secant that he really was seeing a demon but his vision came back to him as the man pulled back his spear to plunged it into him, when the man went flying.

"Hang on Lee-kun, drink this please, stay with me" Lee heard a man's voice but it was getting farther and farther away. Lee felt something press itself against his bottom lip and a cool liquid touch his upper. Lee could now only see shadows and shapes. The voices-es and sound were drifting farther away and Lee felt the pain in his wounds increase and spread. Lee closed his eyes and took a drink a the liquid. He then took another, for the pain was fading. Opening his eyes Lee saw Nao holding a clay bottle to his lips, and holding him up with his other arm. Lee took another drink and then noticed the man wounds were healed and about to exclaim the fact, Lee was hushed by Nao and told to drink the rest of the bottle. Finishing the potion, Lee's wounds and hurts healed right before his eyes. Lee looked up at Nao grinning and Nao smiled and then looked around them. " Lets tie this people up and then get the others and go to the hospitable... Kalinea and Morio would want to know about this" the man said getting to work. Lee got up and looked at the man and said " Master Nao-san, I wish to learn from you and your youghtful comrades". Nao looked at Lee over his shoulder and smiled saying " well you will have to drop the yought-stuff or Kay and the others will kick the stuffing out of your youghtful butt. Come on, the sooner we get this done the sooner you get to see that Gai-person and the others and tell them about your decision and this fight".

Naruto was walking next to Neji... he wanted to ask to older boy about girls. Naruto glanced at Neji and took a deep breath and dropped his voice so that the girls and there sinseis' could not hear them. "Neji? What do you think of girls" Naruto asked tried not to be so pointed and just come out with the question. Neji, who was trying to ignore Naruto and Gai's bragging to the girl, Rena, stopped and looked at Naruto. Neji was very taken back, for him, Naruto was asking for his opinion and advice ( Naruto was) and was flabbergasted. "Well... what do you mean by that? Girls and/or women are a very touchy subject and why are you asking me" Neji asked with amusement. "Well lets see... Kakashi-sensei is a pervert, Jiraiya-Ero-sennin writes thoughts dirty books, Iruka-sensei tries to avoid the subject, i think Gai-sensei is gay, and Lee ... well i am kind of scared to ask him. Pulse you are the only one who will give me an up front answer and not tell me ' when your older' or go on about youth crap" Naruto said looking right in Neji's eyes. Neji smiled to himself a little, Naruto seemed to have a brain after all, not that he would tell him that. Neji turned and faced Naruto, then noted that Lee and Nao were gone.

Naruto watched Neji's eyes narrow and then go Byakugan as Neji scanned the woods. Naruto looked at Neji then at the others. Naruto's eyes widened as he realized that Lee was gone. Naruto did not think, he just ran. Naruto though that he had to find Lee quickly, for the villagers would most likely leave him to die after they bet him. Naruto one time saw a betting that Lee took for him. The villagers bet him down but Lee did not lift a finger to stop them. Then the villagers bet the hell out of Naruto, after saying that they would leave him be. Both boys were lucky that their friends came to help them and take them to the hospital for healing. Naruto felt a tear run down his face as he ran the help is friend.

Neji swore and turned and yelled to the others to get out and go some were safe, then ran after Naruto with Gai right behind him. Neji ran his eyes never leaving Naruto, as the younger boy dashed ahead. Naruto then stopped dead in his tracks, looking around, before running off again. Naruto's quick stop gave Neji enough time to come up behind the blond boy. Gai then knocked into both him and Naruto, throwing both them and him self to the ground. An exposition was heard and their was a crater were the boys once were. Neji felt like a fool for not noticing the letter-bomb, but he was going to bet himself up later.

Getting to their feet the three of them looked around. Naruto then heard a sissing sound and yelled " take cover" to Neji and Gai. The three of them dove out of the way, Naruto kept rolling in-till he hit a tree. Shaking his head, Naruto looked at the tree, when his eye widened and he scrambled out of the way. Were he was before was a blade of a katana. Naruto looked at the Jonin that held the weapon. The man's face twisted into an angry mask and then yanked the sword from the dirt and charged Naruto.

Neji felt a person holding on to him from behind as one of his fellow Hyuuga started shutting down his chakra points. He clenched his teeth and kicked the man that held on to him and then jumped out of the other Hyuuga's way. ' I have a bad feeling about this' Neji thought to him self as he fell into the gentle fist fighting style. The two Chunin men that he faced got into their positions. "We do not have to do this Neji-kun" said the Hyuuga, his face covered by a mask. Neji looked at the man and then said " you are the one who attacked me. I am defending myself, why are you attacking me". The Hyuuga opened his mouth but the other answered Neji " you were with the demon-brat. We had to get you away from him. Ken, take care of this brat and take him home" with that the other left and dashed off. Hyuuga Ken looked at Neji "forgive me, brother, but i must follow orders...". Neji looked at the other Hyuuga and nodded "let us fight older brother" and then disappeared from the other's sight.

Gai blocked another Jonin's kick and then throw a punch at the man he was fighting. Gai frowned as his jumped away from as a few shuriken came flying from behind, but in stead of a thud of the weapons hitting the ground they hit steal. Gai quickly kicked the man into a tree before turning onto the other ninja. Behind him thought, stood, a bluish-black haired man in ninja gear with his hair in hundreds of tiny brads and small gems hanging from them. The man had a great sword in hand and was facing three leaf ninja, a cruel smile on his scared face. The man glanced back at Gai then looked at the men and said in a low voice " lets dance" before disappearing.
