CHAPTER 1

In an underground facility in an undisclosed location a hooded figure is searching through several books and maps frantically. The figure gets frustrated and starts throwing stuff all around the room. Just as he calms down he sees from the corner of his eye exactly what he was looking for. He walked over to it and picked it up. After studying it for a moment a look of realization crossed his face. As he got ready to leave he took of the hood and revealed his blond hair.

HOKAGE TOWER
 Naruto and friends were called into the hokages office for a briefing on the upcoming mission.

Once everybody had arrived Tsunade began the briefing. "We have received anonymous information that Madara Uchiha is planning his next move. He is headed here" she said while pointing at a circled point on a map. "It is approximately a three day trip from the village. Your mission is to defeat Madara before he can reach his destination. You will leave first thing in the morning, be sure to pack only the necessities. Naruto will be the leader for this mission. Everyone but Naruto leave, I want to talk to him privately". With that they all left and went to go pack for the mission ahead. Once she was sure everyone was gone she asked "Are you sure you know what you're doing Naruto?" "Not entirely" he confessed, "but there is no other way". "Are you sure you don't want me to send reinforcements? All you are bringing with you are your friends and 6 low level chunins. This is Madara we're talking about. He's the son of a bitch that started the Akatsuki and sent the Kyuubi to attack the village".

"I don't know what will happen, plus I'm already bringing more people than I intended" he replied. "Just what do you think is going to happen?" Tsunade asked? "It doesn't matter" he said, "as long as we can get to him before he can get to the site it won't matter". And with that he left in order to get ready for the next day.

It was just before dawn and the group started to meet up at the gate, once everybody had arrived Naruto explained the plan.

"In order to reach our destination in time we will only take two breaks a day. The first break will be thirty minutes for lunch and the second will be for dinner and rest. We will only have six hours rest at night, which includes dinner. We wasted time by not leaving yesterday, but unfortunately I was told we couldn't leave until today. Anybody who doesn't think they can handle leave now, but everyone else follow me" and with that he leapt off without even waiting for a reply from anyone.
