Chapter One

Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Hinata entered in to a village, the sign above the gate spelling the words 'Port City'. "All right." Naruto cheered. "We're finally here." Sakura grumbled slightly "We may be here, but we're three days early. What the heck are we supposed to do for three days?"

"No worries. Now we'll have plenty of time to have some fun before the boring stuff starts." Naruto grinned and he grabbed Hinata's hand half pulled her n to the village. "Come on Hina-Chan. I'll win you a huge stuffed animal." Hinata stumbled slightly from being pulled, but quickly regained her footing. "O-okay Naruto-kun."

Sasuke, obviously seeing this as a chance to beat his rival, grabbed Sakura and followed the blond Jonin and his girlfriend. "Come on Sakura." Although Sakura was slightly annoyed that Sasuke's motivation was beating Naruto, she quickly followed. "Coming Sasuke-kun."

~One week earlier~

Naruto and the group where standing in the Hokage's office facing Gondaime Tsunade. "I can't stress enough how important this mission is." Tsunade's eyes met with each of the four ninja. "You will be traveling to the land of demon to sign a peace treaty with a new ninja village that popped up recently. Normally it would be the Hokage that is sent, but under these circumstances, both countries agreed it would be better to sent a substitute. Kakashi was my first choice, but he's in the hospital and we can't wait for him to recover." Tsunade removed a scroll from her desk. The scroll had a Circular design on it, One large circle with three partial circles evenly distributed on the inner border of the large circle, which represented the demon country, "This scroll is to be given directly to the leader of the village, and DO NOT open it." This last part was mainly directed to Naruto who, judging by the look on his face, wanted to see what was inside. She held the scroll forward so that Naruto could take it. "Naruto, you will be acting as hokage during the signing of the treaty." When Naruto had stored away the scroll Tsunade continued. "You will be meeting up with one of there ninja squads at port city of the land of tea in ten days. They will take you to the ninja village."

~END~

After a few rounds of knocking bottles over with baseballs the group strolled around the city, Hinata was holding a large stuffed fox, and Sakura was holding a lion. Sasuke and Naruto where having an argument at who was bedder at the game they had played. "I knocked over the bottles first." Naruto argued. "Well i knocked over all three bottles with my first shot, it took you two tries." The two rivals has a stare off, but it was cut short when they heard the sound of clashing swords. "What is that?" Naruto said as he broke the stare and ran off to see what was going on, Sakura and Hinata followed immediately. Sasuke was about to follow as well, but he noticed a large, long haired ninja. The ninja's head band had a circle with three partial circles on the inside of the large circle.

After following the sound that they heard Naruto and the girls arrived to a small clearing in time to see a girl getting knocked to the ground by a man wearing the standard ninja uniform with black hair and an obvious blood-lust in his eyes. "We have to help her." Naruto pulled out a Kunai and charged. Sakura threw the lion to Hinata and dashed at the bloodthirsty ninja. Sakura jumped a few feet in to the air when she caught up to Naruto, the blond held her by the bottom of the foot before throwing her at the opponent. When Sakura got closer the ninja jumped backwards just in time to avoid a punch that shattered the ground where he had been standing, dropping the katana he had been holding. Before the ninja landed Naruto was already attacking with a kunai enhanced with wind element chakra. Surprisingly, the ninja did the same. "So he's a wind element user." The ninja kicked Naruto in the chest causing him to fly backwards a few feet.

Meanwhile Sakura had gone to help the female ninja, the girl was so shocked that she didn't say for a few seconds. She looked at Naruto and the black haired ninja who where fighting. "You have to stop him!" Was the first thing she said. "Your friend will get hurt. Kurei is very strong, and he never holds back." Sakura paid little attention. "Don't worry about Naruto, he can take care of himself." Chakra surrounded her hand and she began healing the kunoichi, although none of the wounds where more than skin deep.

It didn't take long for Naruto to recover and dodge a barrage of shuriken that where being thrown at him. "Shadow clone jutsu." Four clones appeared, two on ether side of Naruto and they all charged. "Naruto Combo!" The original Naruto yelled as each of the clones surrounded Kurei. The four clones charged at the dark haired ninja and kicked him in to the air. As the real Naruto came down with his right foot the ninja grabbed him by the leg. Naruto grabbed Kurei's hand and kicked him in the head with his left foot as he spun his right leg out of the mans grip he kicked again. Once again the ninja grabbed Naruto's foot, this time he grabbed placed one of his hands under Naruto's leg and threw him through the air.

When Naruto was in the air he created a shadow clone which, instead of helping with landing, started to create a ball of chakra in Naruto's hand. "Rasengan!" Naruto yelled as the clone disappeared, he landed on the ground and started charging. Naruto thought he was prepared for anything, but what the opposing ninja did next was the last thing Naruto expected. Kurei was heading straight for Naruto, in his right hand was a ball of spiraling chakra that could only be a rasengan. Both ninja where surprised at seeing each others Rasengans, but neither stopped there attack.
