Hi to all. It is McCrazy here and this is one of the stories that I wanted to write down cuz frankly I don't think I have seen a story like this yet. And there are thousands out there. I won't reveal much but the Naruto in here is going to be one that I don't think many people will use. And sorry but this story won't have lemons. Well until maybe later down the road. I want this to be a serious one but with some comedy here and there. It won't follow canon but have some of the arcs and I will also make up random ones. But no more talk. Hope you enjoy.

Konoha's White Ghost

Naruto's jinchuuriki status is never revealed. Instead the Third Hokage and some others chose to raise him not as a weapon of Konoha but as its protector. How will this affect everyone that Naruto would have affected? Calm/Reserved/Strong/Smart Naruto. Bloodline Naruto. Pairing(s) undecided. M for Violence, Gore, Blood, Language and explicit and detailed scenes. Can that count? Eh.

DISCLAMER: READ THE OTHER DISCLAMERS I WROTE. YES THIS COUNTS. IT DOESN'T? FINE… I OWN NOTHING NARUTO.

Chapter 1

Ghost

The attack on Konoha by the Kyuubi no Yoko has ceased. The Yondaime and his wife have sacrificed their lives and their child's life. In Konoha, people rejoice for the death of Kyuubi and mourn the fallen. In a stone altar away from the village, lays a baby with sun kissed hair and whisker marks on his cheeks. He cries wondering where his parents are. On his stomach is a complicated seal arrangement.

Suddenly a group of people appear. One steps forward from the shadows revealing Hiruzen Sarutobi. He looks at the child as the baby boy opens his eyelids revealing his cerulean blue eyes and looks at him before crying again and reaching out to him. Sarutobi smiles and takes the child into his arms. The child coos and snuggles into his robes. Another shadow appeared to reveal Jiraiya of the Toads. He looks at the child as the child looks at him. "Looks exactly like Minato." Jiraiya says with a smile. "Yes he does but what shall we do Jiraiya?" Sarutobi asks. "Not sure sensei." Jiraiya says playing with the child. "How about we train him?" Danzo Shikamura appears next and looks at the child. The child looks at him with a tilt of his head.

Sarutobi looks at him. "We will but Naruto does need a normal childhood." "I am not sure that would be possible." Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, who make up the civilian council, walked forward. "What do you mean Koharu?" Sarutobi asked looking at her. "Even if you don't tell the village of Naruto's situation, it might get leaked out. You know better than any of us that the village has eyes and ears hidden in the shadows that even you might not know about." Homura answered. Sarutobi sighed but agreed as Naruto cooed in his arms while he looked at the people around him. "We can keep that a secret."

Five ANBUs jumped down each with the mask Inu, Neko, Boar, Itachi (Wonder who this one is...), and Hebi. Sarutobi looked at them. "Even with your help, it will not be enough. But the elders are right; Naruto wouldn't have a normal childhood. So from this day forward, Naruto died with his parents and Konoha's new protector will be born. You five will teach him and protect him as you will be his God-siblings. Danzo, you and your Root will train him also but do not take away all of his emotions. We have no idea how Kyuubi will react. Jiraiya, since you are his God-father but also have to maintain the spy network, I want you to at least visit him every two to three months and spend a week with him and train him along with the others. This is an SSS rank secret. No one else must know." Sarutobi said. Everyone nodded.

"So this means you are taking the hat back sensei?" Jiraiya asked. Sarutobi sighed once more and nodded. "Yes I will. I am coming out of retirement." Sarutobi looked at Naruto who fell asleep making him smile. "At least we are the only council members. If there were more, who knows how bad this would get out of hand..." Koharu spoke. Everyone sweatdropped but nodded at the same time. "Let's go and put Naruto-kun in the mansion before I tell the villagers that their Yondaime and his wife along with their child died today." Sarutobi said as everyone headed back to the village.

Time Skip: Five Years (Naruto is born one year prior to canon Naruto just for certain things to make sense.)

It is night time in Konoha as the moon looked over the village. Some clouds pass by overhead as the village gets covered in darkness. In the middle of said darkness, a shadow of a person is seen though only a keen trained eye would see it. The shadow bounces over buildings with what looks like the shape of a bag on its back. As the moon gets uncovered again, the light reveals a ninja carrying a brown sack. On the ninja's forehead is the symbol for Kumo, the Village Hidden in the Clouds. The bag moves somewhat.

On the ninja's face is a smirk and his eyes has a twinkle of lust. But then they showed surprise as the head fell off and both it and the body fell onto a roof. The bag fell and opened as a girl rolled out of it. She has blue hair cut in a hime-style and wore a white nightgown. The girl is asleep not feeling her surroundings. A figure appears near her and leans down then picks her up gently. A second identical one appears and picks up the body and head of the dead ninja whose face still shows surprise. One heads one direction and the other another.

The figure with the girl heads to a compound that is owned by the Hyuugas. Outside is normal as the same as the inside. The figure goes past all of the defenses before making it to the main office. Inside is Hiashi Hyuuga working on some last minute paperwork, much to his dismay, when the papers fly around. He looks around franticly before his daughter, Hinata, appears on his lap. Hiashi gasps and grabs her as he keeps looking around, his Byakugan active wondering who brought her. Then, at the door appears a person who is only five years old in body size. Their white hooded cloak and blank mask hides their appearance. Even their eyes are hidden as there are no eye holes.

Hiashi looks at the intruder before the figure motions to follow them before they disappear. Hiashi gets up, making sure not to wake his daughter as he walks out of his office. He looks left and sees nothing then right and sees the figure. Then again they disappear. Hiashi walks down the hall then sees it again before it disappears. It goes on like this for another minute before the figure stops at Hinata's door. Hiashi walks to them but gasps as the figure phases through the door and into the room. Hiashi opens the door and sees the figure stand there. Hiashi goes to speak but the figure just points to the opened window. He also sees the window pried open from the outside then sees a rag on the floor. He looks at his daughter and smells her face. "Someone broke in, knocked out my daughter, and kidnapped her?" He asked slowly figuring out what happened. The figure nods once before turning into smoke. Hiashi gasps. 'Shadow clone? Who is that person?' He thinks as he looks at the spot where the figure stood.

Meanwhile

In the meeting room, Sarutobi is there bored out of his mind along with Homura, Koharu, and Danzo who are also joined by three advisors from Kumo. The advisors are talking about a treaty with the small on-going war between them. Sarutobi sees the paper and reads it out loud. The other members nod to certain things and disagree with other things. After some altercations, Sarutobi goes to sign it until a body and a head land on the table. Everyone jumps up as the ANBU jump down wondering who threw the body. Until all stop when the figure from before appears out of the walls. Everyone looks at him.

The advisors from Kumo start to bicker until the figure puts his hand up. They become quiet until the figure points to them then the dead ninja. "Are you saying that ninja is with us?" One asked. The figure walked to the table, picked up the head and showed the headband to all with Sarutobi seeing it last. They put the head down before Sarutobi makes a signal. The figure walks to him and leans down then whispers in a hushed tone. Sarutobi narrows his eyes before making a second signal as the three advisors are subdued by the ANBU.

"What is the meaning of this?" One calls out, the only female out of the three. "I should be asking you three that. My special ANBU here has told me unforgiving news. It seems like that Kumo ninja has tried to kidnap the Hyuuga heiress. Which tells me this treaty is false." Sarutobi picks up the paper and tears it in half as Danzo, Homura, Koharu, and the ANBU are looking at the three with narrowed eyes. The advisors are now sweating. "Are you going to tell me what the real purpose of this is…?" Sarutobi asked professionally. They said nothing before he made another signal and the ANBU knocked them out. "Take them to Ibiki for interrogation. He will get the info for me." The ANBU saluted before shushining away.

Sarutobi sat back and sighed as he looked at the figure who stood there without ever moving. "Thank you Ghost. You are dismissed." Ghost nodded before disappearing, like a ghost. "He is good." Homura said. "Better than good thanks to the teachings he is getting since he could walk and talk but still needs to learn more though he is a fast thinker and a quick learner. He puts all other Rookies of the Year for the past ten years to shame. He even mastered his father's Hiraishin and the Rasengan and even altered them both in just roughly three years after learning them." Danzo said with a bit of enthusiasm at the end. Sarutobi nodded. "Yes. I saw Jiraiya crying when that happened." The four chuckled. "Konoha will definitely be safe with him watching from the shadows. Let's get some rest. I am sure tomorrow will hold its own surprises." Sarutobi said. The others nodded before they left the room.

Time skip: Three years. Naruto is eight years old

Screams are heard inside the Uchiha compound though no one outside of it could hear it thanks to a seal around said compound. Uchiha after Uchiha are cut down throughout the compound by two unknown assailants. Blood is spilled everywhere in the streets of the compound, on the walls and floors of the building, on the grass and trees outside, everywhere and anywhere blood would end up. At the main house, Fugaku and Mikoto are waiting for the assailants. They knew this would happen after the plans were found out though Mikoto was completely against it. Now every Uchiha would pay the price. Their daughter Satsuki is in her room in the closet after her mother told her to stay there.

The sliding door opens as the two assailants appear. One is Itachi Uchiha who is wearing his jonin outfit. The other is an unknown to the two. Only Itachi is covered in blood much to the two's surprise. Itachi takes his sword out as another door opened. Itachi, Ghost, Fugaku, and Mikoto turn their head to see Satsuki standing there. She just stares at them then gasps when Itachi cuts down their father. "Nii-chan no." Satsuki cries out. Itachi is about to cut down Mikoto when Ghost stops him.

They all turn to him as Ghost shakes his head at Itachi. Itachi nods as he puts his sword away before going to the window. He looks at Satsuki as tears fall from his eyes. "Hate me Satsuki. Seek revenge on me." Is all he says before he leaves crying. Satsuki cries wondering why her brother killed their father and why he was crying. She then looked at Ghost but he already disappeared. Satsuki cries more before looking at her mother and running to her. She hugs her as she hugs back. Mikoto looks at the window where Itachi was last as tears fall from her eyes.

XXXX

Near the gate, Itachi stands on a tree branch looking back at the village. He then turns and sees Ghost looking at him. "Watch them both Naruto-kun." Ghost nods. "Will I see you again onii-chan?" Ghost asks though there is no emotion coming from the eight year old. Itachi goes and hugs him as Ghost returns it. "You will little bro. I will see you another time." Itachi said before he took off his headband and slashed across the Konoha symbol before putting it on and leaving. "You know what to do." Itachi said to Ghost as he left. Ghost nodded before he phased out.

XXXX

Some minutes later

At an underground bunker, Ghost appears in front of the door of Danzo's office. Danzo tells him to enter as Ghost phases through the door and into the room. He walks to the desk and sets down a jar full of eyes. Danzo turns around on the chair and looks at Ghost. "Everything went well?" Ghost nods. "Who is still alive?" Danzo asked. "Mikoto Uchiha, Satsuki Uchiha and a few others that weren't in on the plan." Ghost said in monotone. "I see. I will keep the eyes in a safe place. The village might need them in the future. The Uchiha were too arrogant in their ways. Watch over them and make sure Satsuki doesn't follow her father's footsteps." Ghost nodded. "Tell Sarutobi of the accomplishment." Ghost nodded once more before disappearing.

XXXX

At the Hokage office, Sarutobi looked at the Uchiha compound through the window as some ANBU were doing an 'investigation' when Ghost appeared. "How was the mission?" He asked. "Mikoto, Satsuki, and a few of the children and their parents not knowing of the plan are alive. Danzo-sama has the eyes in a safe place." Ghost responded in monotone. "Good. You are dismissed Ghost." Ghost nodded as he phased out.

XXXX

Time Skip: Four years. October tenth. Naruto is twelve.

Ghost watches the village through the shadows as he watches the civilians walking by. He also sees some ninja's going back and forth in the village. Ghost moves as he keeps an eye on two people: Mikoto and Satsuki. Mikoto didn't change much since the massacre. She is glad it happened and is thankful some Uchihas are still alive. Satsuki is another matter. She became somewhat unstable. Ghost wondered how she would grow up if he didn't stop Itachi from killing their mother. Satsuki would go through random emotions though she is mainly happy to have her mother. She made some friends but some days she would rather be alone. She had nightmares from that day and would still have them. Though she would always look around thinking she was being watched. She has no idea how right she is. Ghost kept following the two as a promise to Itachi.

Later that night it went like it did for the past eleven years. People are out celebrating the death of the Kyuubi no Yoko. People are drinking, partying, playing games, hanging out with their families; things anyone would do at a festival. Others mourned for their loss but none was bigger than the loss of their Yondaime and his wife and child. People loved their Yondaime and even though the marriage between him and his wife was kept a secret, people accepted her also when they learned of it. They truly were at a loss when they heard that their child died that fateful day. People wondered how that child would have lived if they survived. No one knew that said child is alive or how exactly they 'died'. They never knew the child was used to house the Kyuubi though some rumors hung around in the air. Ghost watched everything through his mask without emotion. He knew everyone grieved in their own way but inwardly is happy that he is missed. He phased out as he headed home.

XXXX

Time Skip: One day before team placement. Naruto is thirteen years old.

Ghost stood in the office of the Hokage as he watched his leader and grandfather figure. Sarutobi looked through some paperwork as he read a couple. "Ghost, I have an assignment for you." Ghost stood still. "It deals with Satsuki Uchiha and since I know you are watching her, this would be opportune for you. Turns out we are short one candidate and her team needs a third teammate. Are you willing to do this?" Ghost nodded. "Her other teammate will be a girl named Sakura Haruno. Their sensei is Kakashi Hatake."

Ghost stood still though he smiled behind his mask. Sarutobi sensed it and smiled before going neutral. "Tomorrow, in the morning, you are to head to the classroom and met them there. Talk to Iruka Umino first. He is their teacher. After Kakashi talks with you, meet me here so I can give you a different ID." Ghost nodded. "What name would you want to use?" Sarutobi asked. "Since the civilian populace and a huge percentage of the ninja forces don't know the name my parents gave me, I will go with just Naruto. If that is alright with you, Hokage-sama." Ghost spoke in monotone. Sarutobi nodded. "Then you are dismissed." Ghost nodded before phasing out.

XXXX

It is night time as Ghost does his nightly routine. He watches the village from the shadows as he looks for anything out of the ordinary. The shops are all closed except for some restaurants that are open till midnight or later. The Red Light district is buzzing with noise though quiet compared to the village in the day. Then Ghost spots something in the forest. He heads out to investigate.

In the forest, chunnin teacher assistant Mizuki is running through the forest with the scroll of sealing in hand. He somehow managed to sneak inside and take it from the tower. He still ran for his life though since he did not want to get caught. He tree hopped in the forest but soon started to see a figure in the forest. A person wearing a white hooded cloak and white mask. Said figure was in a spot one moment then another spot the next. Mizuki must have been losing his mind as he looked around before looking forward and screamed as he lost his footing and fell after seeing Ghost upside down on a branch.

Mizuki landed on the ground with a heap and a groan as he sat up and looked around in pain. He held the scroll in hand as he is shaking out of fear. He looked one direction and saw Ghost. He looked another and saw him again. 'Who or what is this thing? They are worse than Orochimaru-sama.' Mizuki backed up onto a tree as he looked around frantically and kept seeing that figure till he stood in front of Mizuki. Mizuki just looked at him, trying to say something but nothing came out. Ghost stood there eyeing Mizuki. Then a flash on his mask and cloak appeared. Mizuki blinked wondering what he saw.

The cloak and mask Ghost has on is special. It has chakra properties and can be changed color at will if Naruto wants to change it. The only time it does change is for one thing: fear. On the mask can appear a demonic image of whether a distorted face or shadow demon while the cloak can look like hair or anything of the like. Ghost rarely does it. Mizuki looked on until another flash, though Mizuki saw it clearly. The mask had an evil looking face with the eyes blacked out and jagged, with the mouth the same and smiling. The cloak had what looked to be hair that started from the face and went everywhere. Mizuki is sweating and is paralyzed with fear. A third flash but this time it stayed on one second longer before Mizuki is knocked out cold, the last thing he saw was that image burned into his mind.

Behind Mizuki stood Ghost. He looked at his clone who nodded before dispelling though it went in a small puff of barely visible smoke. 'I need to change that. Still trying to work on it though.' He thought to himself before grabbing the scroll and Mizuki before shushining to the Hokage tower.

XXXX

At the office, Sarutobi called upon whoever he could and told them of the situation. He started to make plans, when out of nowhere the body of Mizuki landed in front of the desk. Everyone tensed up though only Sarutobi and Kakashi, who is there, knew who threw the body. Ghost then phased out of the floor scaring anyone who never saw him before. "Why is Mizuki unconscious?" Sarutobi asked. Ghost walked to the desk and handed the scroll back to Sarutobi. "I see. So Mizuki stole it?" Ghost nodded.

Sarutobi took the scroll back. "Thank you Ghost. You are dismissed though; did you do that to him?" Ghost nodded twice before phasing out. "Sorry everyone. Guess the culprit is Mizuki and was stopped." Sarutobi spoke. "Um Hokage-sama, who was that?" Kurenai asked. "That was a special ANBU. That is all you need to know. Dismissed." He barked out. Everyone nodded with hesitation as they did though Kakashi stayed.

"ANBU." Sarutobi called out as Boar and Neko came down. "Take Mizuki to Ibiki and tell him Ghost did that." He said professionally. The two nodded as they took Mizuki away. Sarutobi sighed as he looked at Kakashi. "So does he know?" Kakashi asked. "Yes. Tomorrow he will be at the academy. Just don't show up late." Sarutobi said. "I never show up late for Ghost." Kakashi said with a nod. Sarutobi nodded as Kakashi vanished in a leaf shushin. He then turned and looked at the village wondering how tomorrow will go.

XXXX

Next Day

The sun rose over the village as the villagers started to come out of their homes and begin their day. Naruto is in his room under the village where Root is hidden in. He puts on some civilian clothes as he stares at the mirror. He has on a red shirt with white cargo pants and black sandals. The pants have multiple pockets; each with either hidden weapons, scrolls, tags, and anything he needs. His shirt has two front pockets, both having his main weapons; a double-edged curved tanto and a twin-bladed nagitama that belonged to his mother which used chakra as the blades. His face showed no emotion though after relaxing abit, he now has a small smile. Afterwards, he left the room which only contained a bed, table, bookcase, and sink.

He arrived at the academy in a tree before hopping down and walking inside. He headed to the designated class room and opened the sliding door. Inside, he saw the students talking or doing their own thing before it all went quiet as they looked at Naruto. Naruto turned his head and walked to Iruka who also looked at him oddly. Naruto whispered something in his ear causing Iruka to go wide eyed. "Right. Well Satsuki and Sakura are up there." Iruka said as he pointed. Naruto nodded as he walked up the steps then sat down next to Sakura. Both she and Satsuki looked at him before looking at each other then Iruka. "Um…is he out other teammate, Iruka-sensei?" Sakura asked. "Yes Sakura. Now, your jonin senseis should be here soon so for now, do what you want until they arrive." Iruka said. Everyone nodded though they looked at Naruto and gasped when he wasn't there. Everyone became very confused.

XXXX

An hour later, everyone is back in the classroom though they all talked about Naruto, who is back in the classroom staring straight ahead. His eyes are hollow and anyone who would look would shiver seeing them. At the front of the class, all the jonin senseis minus one stood there though all looked at Kakashi with a weird look. "What?" He asked. "You are usually very late." Asuma said. "Not always." Kakashi said with an eye smile. "Yes you are." The others said making him sweatdrop. He waved it off though he looked at Naruto just for a fraction of a second. Soon, all of the senseis called out for their team. Kakashi had them meet him at the roof.

Up there, the three kids sat on the ground looking at their sensei. "Hello everyone. First, we shall introduce ourselves. Tell me your likes, dislikes, hobbies, goals, and anything else." Kakashi said. Sakura raised her hand. "Yes?" Kakashi asked. "Can you start? After all you are our sensei." She said. Satsuki nodded as she watched her sensei though she took some glances at Naruto. Naruto saw them but did nothing. "Ok. My name is Kakashi Hatake. My likes are many and my dislikes are few. My hobbies are unimportant and my goals are little." He said with an eye smile.

Satsuki, Sakura, and Sarutobi, who is watching through the globe on his desk, sweatdropped. Naruto smirked inwardly. "Um all we got is your name…" Sakura said scratching her cheek. "Right. Now your turn." He pointed to Sakura. "Um well my name is Sakura Haruno. My likes are reading, hanging with my friends and…" She glanced at Satsuki. "My dislikes are perverts, jerks, and people who make fun of me like Ino-pig. My hobbies are gardening, talking with my friends and…" She took another glance at Satsuki. "And my goals are…" She glanced at Satsuki again and giggled inwardly though part of her glanced at Naruto. Naruto caught that though wondered what is wrong with her. Satsuki saw the glances and scowled. Kakashi saw them and sighed. 'She does realize I/she am/is a girl right? Though I/she do/does dress like a boy.' Satsuki, Naruto and Kakashi thought as Satsuki sighed."Ok your turn." He pointed to Satsuki.

"My name is Satsuki Uchiha. My likes are talking with my mother and training. My dislikes are too many to say. My hobbies are training and to get stronger. My goal…no my ambition is to avenge my clan." She said. She took a glance at Naruto, wondering why he felt so familiar. Sakura has hearts in her eyes. Naruto did nothing though he caught that glance too. Kakashi nodded. "And you." He pointed to Naruto. Naruto closed his eyes. "My name is Naruto. That is all you need to know, for now." He said monotone. He needed to fix that when he isn't Ghost. Satsuki looked at him with an eyebrow raised. Sakura did too though for some reason she got a shiver down her spine when he talked. Kakashi nodded. 'An avenger, a fan girl or a girl with crush, and Naruto. This ought to be fun.' He thought before clearing his throat.

"Ok, now tomorrow, I want you three to meet me at field three for a test." Kakashi told them. Sakura looked at him oddly. "We already took one though. Will this be different?" She said. "Yes. The test you took was to see if you can be genin. This test is to prove if you can be." Kakashi said. Sakura nodded slowly. "Now this test has a high failure rate but I know you three will pass." He said with an eye smile. "Tomorrow, come at eight. Oh and don't eat or you will puke." Kakashi said before shushined out.

Sakura looked at the leafs. "Was that a shushin?" She asked. "Yeah. It is hard to learn though my kaa-san is teaching me." Satsuki said. Sakura nodded before she turned to Naruto though he was already gone. "Ok… So Satsuki-kun, what do you want to do?" Satsuki got up though she wondered where Naruto went. "I am heading home to train. You should too." She said as she started to walk down the stairs. Sakura sighed as she headed for the stairs also.

At the tree across the academy, Kakashi watched his two genin before turning to see Naruto sitting on the branch in a lotus position. "So what do you think of them?" Kakashi asked. "They need work nii-chan. Especially Sakura. I will help them though, so don't worry about that." Naruto said in monotone. "I thought you were working on that?" Kakashi asked with a raised eyebrow. "I am trying. Not easy since I do so much." Naruto said still in monotone though there was a small crack in his voice. "Well what are you going to do?" Kakashi asked. "I will wait tomorrow and see how they do. You better not go easy on me though." Naruto said before phasing out. Kakashi sighed as he shushined out.

XXXX

Next Day

Team Seven stood at the field near the three training logs. Naruto wore a blue long sleeved shirt with orange pants and white sandals. The shirt and the pants have the same things all his clothes have though in the long sleeves are two longswords that are five feet long, each stored in seals with the blades single edge. Only the long sleeved shirts have them. He makes sure he changes the main weapons before putting on the clothes. Sakura and Satsuki looked at him wondering the attire change though it did make him look different.

In front of them, Kakashi appeared via shushin. "Morning my genins." He said. "Morning sensei." The girls said. Naruto made a curt nod as Kakashi gave one back. Sakura turned to say something but couldn't. She had no idea what Naruto would do so she stayed quiet. Satsuki stayed still with her arms crossed. "Now today the test is simple; fight Naruto." Kakashi said with an eye smile.

The girls looked at him oddly as Naruto sighed quietly. "Ano…why would we fight our own teammate?" Sakura asked. "Well Naruto is special. He will tell me how you two do." Kakashi said. He looked at Naruto though Naruto has a twitching eyebrow which he knew is a bad sign. "Heh Naruto, I guess I should have told you huh?" Kakashi said as he scratched his head. Naruto sighed openly this time. "It is fine, but don't do it again." He said in monotone though there is some anger in it and strained. Kakashi nodded.

Naruto walked to the center of the field. "Ok, you two come at me together with all that you have." Sakura hesitated though Satsuki smirked wanting to see how this boy does. She launched forward though Naruto stopped her. She looked at him with annoyance. Naruto walked to her and stood next to her though he looked at Sakura. "Why are you hesitating Sakura? I said come at me together." Satsuki turned and looked at Sakura with a scowl. She is slowing her down. "Uh do I have to?" She said shaking abit.

Naruto sighed. "She will need a lot of work." Naruto then walked back to the spot he was standing at before he looked at Satsuki. "Ok then Satsuki-san, resume." Satsuki nodded before she attacked Naruto. She sent a flurry of punches, though Naruto dodged without even making a stance. Satsuki scowled as she sent a low kick. Naruto jumped over it but hasn't done anything. She ran around and tried to hit him from behind but she went through him surprising her. She jumped back then made another attack but Naruto grabbed her fist stopping her. "Stop." Naruto said. Satsuki did as she panted a bit. "Good. Your fighting style is subpar for a genin. You just need to do chakra exercises and it will make your reserves bigger and help with performing jutsus and you will be mid-genin in some time. Sakura though…"

Satsuki smiled from that then both looked at Sakura. Sakura took a step back in surprise. "Wh-What?" She asked. "You really don't understand what it means to be a ninja do you?" Naruto asked, crossing his arms. Sakura tried to speak but stuttered. Naruto sighed. "You have two choices: try or give up completely." Sakura looked at him in confusion. "What? Why?" Naruto pointed to Satsuki. "Because the only reason you are even here is for Satsuki-san. At least she is willing to be a kunoichi." Now Sakura is really confused. "She?" Naruto rubbed his temple as Satsuki sighed though she wondered how Naruto knew she is a she. "Even though she dresses like a boy, her eyes say she is a girl though she tries to hide it. That and her voice too." Naruto lied since he knew the truth, except for the voice part. Satsuki blushed but recomposed herself.

Sakura is taken aback from that. 'Satsuki is a girl? Does that mean I am into girls?' Sakura sulked. "If you want to be part of this team, then actually try. Otherwise I won't waste my time and only train Satsuki-san." Naruto said before looking at Kakashi, who is leaning on a tree reading his orange book. Naruto twitched before throwing a kunai. Kakashi moved his head as the kunai impacted the tree with the bark cracking from the force as the kunai imbedded itself up to the blunt end. Satsuki and Sakura gasped seeing that as Kakashi lowered his book and looked at Naruto. "I was watching you know." He said. "Then can you look like you are nii-chan?" Naruto asked, though still in monotone. "You can read the book on your free time. This isn't the time, though you are behind me a book." Kakashi sulked hearing that as he put his book away.

He then walked to them. "So Sakura is the only one who needs work? Or will she even be staying in the team?" Kakashi asked. The three looked at her. Sakura looked at the ground pondering. "Choose: Stay and become a great kunoichi or go and be a civilian. I won't make you nor force you to choose." Naruto said. Kakashi agreed. Satsuki looked at her. Sakura thought about it before nodding. "Ok I will stay. What do I have to do?" She asked. Naruto looked at Kakashi. "Do I really have to do your work for you?" Naruto asked, with a tad of annoyance in his voice.

"Fine. Well first, you need to start exercising. You can do it with us but it would be best to do it on your own. Second, practice your kunai and shuriken throwing. The more you practice, the better. You can ask Naruto or Satsuki in your free time for help." Kakashi said. Naruto nodded though Satsuki thought this is a waste of time. "Third, you can stop that diet you are on. Your body is too skinny for a ninja and even a civilian. Ask your mother to give you healthy foods, though it seems she might do it anyway since you are not anorexic." Naruto said. Sakura is taken aback as is Satsuki. "Do I have to?" Sakura asked nervously. "You want to be a kunoichi?" Kakashi asked. Sakura nodded. "Then get off the diet." Kakashi said. "Maybe we can have Anko-nee-chan spend a day with her." Naruto thought out loud in monotone with a small hint of playfulness.

Kakashi looked at him though he knew Naruto isn't kidding. "Who is that?" Sakura asked. "You don't need to know, but you never want to meet her if she finds out about you, so it would be best to follow our instructions." Kakashi said. Sakura nodded slowly though both she and Satsuki wondered who this Anko person is. "Let's see how you two do for today. Follow me." Naruto said as he and Kakashi walked to the forest nearby. The girls followed though Sakura wondered about everything that is happening right now.

XXXX

Team Seven is now in the forest surrounded by tall trees. "Here, you two will learn how to tree-walk." Kakashi said. The girls looked at him oddly. "Say what now?" Sakura asked. "Show them Naruto." Kakashi said. Naruto nodded as he walked to one of the trees and started to walk up the side of it. He then reached a branch that is twenty feet up from the ground and stood on it upside down. "That is tree-walking. It deals with applying chakra to your feet though since Naruto can do it, he doesn't have to do the ram sign. Now you two do the ram sign, apply chakra to your feet and run to the tree." Kakashi said with an eye smile.

The girls nodded and did as told. "Before you start, there are two things to know. Too little chakra-" Naruto said as he fell from the tree. Both girls panicked though Satsuki didn't know why as Naruto did a flip and landed on the ground. "-that happens. Too much-" Naruto then ran to the tree and took some steps before he is launched backwards as the bark under his right foot exploded. He righted himself as he landed on the ground. "-that happens. This exercise is all about balance and control. Now start." Naruto finished and handed them a kunai.

The girls took them then went and ran up a tree. Satsuki took ten steps before slipping. She placed a mark on the bark before she righted herself and landed on her feet. She looked up and sees where she was at and smiled. Then she scowled when she sees Sakura already on the first branch of the tree. "Look, I made it." She called out. Naruto sighed. "Guess I should added more instructions. Sakura-san, this just means your reserves are small which means it would be easy for you." Naruto told himself before he called out the last part. Sakura deflated. "Now run up and down this tree until I say stop. It will help build the reserves up." Naruto said. Sakura perked up from that before doing what he said.

Naruto looked at Satsuki. "Keep practicing Satsuki-san. This will help with your chakra and in turn help with jutsus." Satsuki nodded before running up the tree again. Naruto turned and looked at Kakashi who is reading again. Naruto twitched. "So are you at the part where Minako and Kash are…" Naruto started as Kakashi closed the book and chuckled. "Sorry." "Read after we leave nii-chan." Naruto said. Kakashi nodded though he sweated.

Later that day, Team Seven is walking through the village with Naruto is holding onto both Satsuki and Sakura, having their arms over his shoulders and his arms around their waists. Both are blushing being this close to him. Naruto just looked on ahead as Kakashi is right behind them, happily reading his book. The four kept walking when…

"Satsuki-kun." A girl yelled. Naruto narrowed his eyes as Ino came running at them. He then side-stepped while turning as the girls moved with him since he is still holding them. Ino comically fell on her face after trying to tackle Satsuki. The two girls chuckled, though softly. Naruto just looked at Ino as she stood back up. "Hey what was that for?" She screamed out and pointed to him though backed off after looking at his hollow eyes. "I moved since you were about to run into us. Both Satsuki-san and Sakura-san are tired from their training. I am taking them to a café so they can get something to drink before I take them home." Naruto said in monotone. Ino nodded slowly. "By the way who are you? I never even knew your name, though I only saw you in the classroom yesterday." Ino spoke. "It is polite to introduce yourself first before asking someone else." Naruto said with no emotion still. Ino just looked at him. "Um I am Ino Yamanaka." "I am Naruto." He said before turning and walking away with the girls still at his side. Kakashi walked past a stunned Ino. She broke out of her stupor before running after them.

XXXX

At a café, Naruto, Satsuki, Sakura, and Ino are at a table drinking tea, though Ino has barely touched hers. Naruto broke the news to her that Satsuki is a girl. She didn't believe it until he said what he told Sakura earlier. Though he reassured both that they still liked boys since Satsuki hid her gender so well. Satsuki blushed again from the hidden compliment she got. At another table sat Kakashi with Asuma and Kurenai. The latter looking at Naruto as they only saw him back at the academy classroom, though for Kurenai, he felt and looked familiar but couldn't place him.

"So who is that child Kakashi? He feels familiar." Asuma said. Kakashi looks at him. "He is my third student. Don't worry about it." That made the two narrow their eyes. "Surely you can tell us." Kurenai said. Kakashi just eye smiled. "Nope." Kurenai's eye brow twitched. Asuma looked at the child. Naruto looked at him making Asuma look away. Naruto then stood after finishing his tea. "How do you two feel?" He asked. "Sore." Satsuki and Sakura replied with a groan. "You are worse than my kaa-san." Satsuki said.

"Chakra exercises are different than normal ones. I will take you home so you can rest for tomorrow." The three looked at him. "What will you do tomorrow?" Ino asked. The three shivered when Naruto got a slightly evil smile on his face. "D-Rank missions." He said with a somewhat happy tone. "Why do I have a feeling those will suck?" Ino asked. The two others nodded in agreement as Naruto had Satsuki and Sakura stand up and held them like before. He nodded to Ino then Kakashi and the others before walking away, the two girls blushing again.

XXXX

They walked to Sakura's home as Naruto gently knocked on the door using a clone. The door opened to reveal Mebuki Haruno. "Mrs. Haruno?" Naruto asked. "Yes that is me. What happened to Sakura and Satsuki?" She asked with worry in her tone though she wondered who the boy is. "My name is Naruto and I am their new teammate." Naruto said as if reading her mind, but really read her face. Mebuki is taken aback by that. "They were training and learning to build up their chakra." Mebuki nodded knowing how that felt.

"I see. Well thank you for bringing my daughter home." Mebuki said. "You're welcome though can you have her eat healthier food? I had her come out of her diet but it would be best if you can enforce it. I won't do it even though I could. I know you probably sneaked healthy food into her without her knowing, but from now on she will not be taking that stupid diet anymore." Naruto said professionally. Mebuki nodded and smiled. "That I will do, but thank you for helping her. I will let her rest and recover." Mebuki said before taking Sakura in her arms. Naruto nodded as he walked away with Satsuki in arm. Mebuki chuckled as she led Sakura inside and closed the door. 'What an interesting child.'

Naruto walked with Satsuki to the Uchiha compound. Even though he knew where she lived, he still asked not to raise suspicion. Satsuki's blush went away from her face but not inside. She wanted to put some distance between Naruto but at the same time be close to him. She didn't know why though she does like boys. She is very confused. The two made it to the gate as Satsuki tried to move away though she is too tired to do so.

"Can I go through?" Naruto asked as he faced forward. Satsuki nodded as Naruto walked into the compound. They reached the main house before Naruto knocked on the door. The door opened as Mikoto looked at her child and Naruto. "Hi Satsuki. What happened to you? And who are you?" She asked. "Pardon but I am her new teammate, Naruto. I was teaching her and our other teammate chakra exercises." Mikoto nodded since she had some trouble at first with them.

"Ok she will get her rest. Thank you Naruto-san." Mikoto took in Satsuki. "You are a good teacher ma'am. Satsuki is very good and will make a great kunoichi in the future." Mikoto smiled as Satsuki turned away to hide her blush though they both noticed it. "Thank you Naruto-san. See you another day." Naruto nodded before walking away.

Mikoto closed the door before walking inside with Satsuki next to her, holding her. "That boy seems nice though veeery mysterious." Mikoto said. Satsuki stayed silent. "I didn't know you liked mysterious boys." Mikoto added. Satsuki looked at her mother with a heavy blush. "KAA-SAN." She blurted out. Satsuki wanted to run to her room but is too tired to do so. Mikoto chuckled. "Oh it is fine Satsuki to like a boy and he is cute if you look past his hollow eyes. 'Though why did he feel so familiar?'" Mikoto said, thinking that last part. Satsuki couldn't stop blushing.

XXXX

Naruto is now on top of the monument looking over the village. Kakashi shushins next to him. "So, today was interesting." Kakashi said. Naruto nodded once. The wind blew around them as the two stared off at the village. "You were doing ok in the emotions department." Kakashi said. "Not really. Most of the times I was struggling while other times I forced myself." Naruto said in monotone. Kakashi nodded once. "Just give it time. I just wish we never took all of your emotions away. Well 'take' is the wrong word. We just never let you use them. Well except around Anko." Kakashi said. Naruto looked at him. "It is all right nii-chan. I don't mind. I am a shinobi after all. Emotions just get in the way most of the time. Though Anko is Anko." Naruto said with no emotion at all, except the last part. Kakashi sighed. "Yeah. Ready for tomorrow?" Kakashi asked looking at him. Naruto nodded once. "You still owe me a spar." Naruto said before phasing out. Kakashi chuckled as he looked up at the clouds.

XXXX

Next Day

Naruto sat on the middle training log in field three in a lotus position. He wore a black sleeveless shirt and green cargo shorts with grey sandals and black fingerless gloves. The gloves contained small hidden blades that when chakra is applied, extended them over the knuckles and used whatever nature chakra is applied. (Wolverine claws but over the knuckles and not between them with a fourth one added. Same length also.)

Naruto has his eyes closed as he breathed slowly. He sensed someone watching him in the trees before the person came out of it and tackled him, or tried. "Anko-nee-chan, you know that doesn't work." Naruto said with some humor as he stayed still and his eyes remained closed. Anko, who is still face down on the ground, grumbled before sitting up and looking at him. Naruto has a smile on his face making Anko smirk. Out of everyone Naruto knows, only Anko can make him smile or laugh, though rare.

She stood up and brushed the dust out of her clothes before looking at Naruto. "So, I hear you are on a team. Is that true?" Anko asked. Naruto nodded once. "You know if you wanted to hug, you just had to ask." Naruto said slightly happy. Anko rolled her eyes before hugging her surrogate little brother. Naruto hugged her back before they separated. "So what have you been doing?" Naruto asked. "Been trying to find my old sensei so I can castrate him and get me a pair of snake skin boots." Anko said with a smile. Naruto smiled also before getting serious as he felt Satsuki arrive. He only showed a lot of emotion to Anko when they are alone. Anko is special to him.

Anko turned and looked at Satsuki who arrived wearing a different set of clothes. She has on a blue blouse with a black knee-length skirt and black sandals. Her hair is still the same though the back is somehow longer now. On the back of her blouse is the Uchiha fan. Naruto raised an eyebrow at the look. Satsuki is still tired even with the sleep and bath she got. She looked at Naruto then Anko and wondered who she is. "Morning." She said in a somewhat groggy voice. "Get a good night's sleep?" Naruto asked with no emotion. Satsuki groaned. "My body still hasn't recovered." She said. "Who is she though?" She asked pointing to Anko. "This is my nee-chan Anko." Anko sported a smile and had a peace sign up.

"What is up gaki?" She asked. "Um she is the one you talked about before?" Satsuki asked as she sat on the ground leaning on one of the logs. Naruto nodded. "Yes. She may look nice but she can get very sadistic." Naruto said as he looked at the sky for no reason. Satsuki nodded slowly looking at Anko. Anko smirked before leaning down to Satsuki's face. "You haven't done anything to cause harm to my little bro now have you?" Anko asked slowly with a smirk. "No, yesterday he mentioned you when our other teammate didn't cooperate." Satsuki said as she rubbed her legs.

They both turned their heads as they see Sakura walking up to them though she looked dead tired. She waved a tired wave before sitting down and leaning on the other log. "And I am guessing you barely got sleep?" Naruto asked though he kept looking up. Sakura just nodded. Anko leaned down to Sakura's face. "So, what did you do to have my little bro talk about me?" Anko asked still having the smirk. Sakura looked at her and got scared at the face Anko made. "Anko…" Naruto said slowly as he looked at her. Anko pouted. "What? I can't have fun?" She asked with a mock whine. "Only if I say so nee-chan. Right now let me train them ok?" Naruto spoke with some emotion since he is fighting his monotone side. Anko nodded. "Ok. Now you two better make good kunoichis or I will make you into one. Got me?" She smiled a smile that said 'murder'.

The girls nodded nervously. "Good. Later little bro." Anko said. "Are you having girls' night out again?" Naruto asked. Anko nodded. "Do I need to pick you up after you girls are done?" Anko's eye brow twitched. "NO. I can take care of myself." Anko retaliated. Naruto sighed. "So see you tonight then." He said. Anko gawked before shushining out. Naruto just closed his eyes, never changing position but inwardly he smiled. Sakura and Satsuki looked at each other before leaning back onto the logs.

Soon Kakashi arrived and looked at his team with an eye smile but he soon dropped it when he sees the conditions the girls are in. "You two ok?" He asked. The girls nodded but their bodies said differently. "That is my fault. I pushed them too far yesterday and I apologize for my actions. I should have gone easier on them." Naruto said. The girls are taken aback by that. "No it is fine Naruto. We want to be good kunoichis." Sakura said. "Yeah. I don't mind being pushed." Satsuki said. "No. Your bodies need rest or you could damage them and I will not let that happen. Tomorrow, we can do the exercises again, but at an easier pace until you get used to it." Naruto said.

The girls became quiet and nodded slowly. Naruto got down then picked them up like yesterday. They both blushed from the sudden contact. "I will take you home and tell your mothers to take you to the hot springs then spa to work on your muscles. Don't worry about paying. I will put it in my account." Naruto told them. The girls nodded though blushed more as Kakashi eye smiled. The four were about to go when Naruto and Kakashi looked up. They see a hawk circling overhead, screeching with each turn before flying away. The two narrowed their eyes before Naruto made two shadow clones. They appeared out of the shadows as Naruto handed one of the girls to each. The clones carried them bridal style causing the girls' bodies to go fully pink. "Take them to their homes and tell their mothers the plan. We have to go." Naruto said in seriousness before shushining out into the shadows. Kakashi went via leaves. The clones left the field to do what they were ordered to do.

XXXX

Some minutes later, Ghost and Inu stand in front of the Hokage's desk. "You two have been called for back-up. It seems Team Nine's mission I sent them out to went from C to S. You are to assist them and kill these two." Sarutobi slides on the desk two photos of two people. One is the picture of a muscle-bound man with green hair in the shape of a mohawk, sunglasses, wearing a large grey coat and blue cargo pants with green military boots. The other is the picture of a man that is identical to the first but has blue hair that is long in the back, sunglasses, wearing a large yellow coat and brown cargo pants with gray military boots. They are known as the Thunder Brothers. Ghost and Inu narrow their eyes behind their masks before nodding to Sarutobi. "Bring Team Nine back alive. Dismissed." Sarutobi barked out. The two saluted and left with Ghost phasing out and Inu shushining via leaves.

XXXX

Somewhere in the Land of Fire, Team Nine is in the woods fighting the two assailants. It was just a simple delivery mission that went wrong in so many ways. First came the fifty bandits but they were taken care of easily. Then came three women who are known as the Siren Sisters for their voices but they are also known for their ninjutsu. That was a long battle but they were taken down with one dying. Ten-Ten however became incapacitated when the Thunder Brothers came into play. Neji stayed behind to help her as Guy and Lee fought them.

Now the two have split the brothers but Lee is taking a beating. Guy and the brother with the mohawk named Boom are in a heavy taijutsu battle. His other brother named Bang is playing with Lee. Then Boom sees something in the trees. A figure dressed in white. Being distracted earned him a roundhouse to the face sending him sprawling but he recovered. Though he fell when something tripped him. Guy used that to his advantage and delivered a savage drop kick to the head. Boom's face ground into the ground. However he just stood up like nothing happened and resumed the fight.

The two went at it blow for blow when Boom saw the figure again this time with the demonic face on its mask. That caused Boom to stop completely. Guy not bothering to ask why he stopped sent a kick to Boom's stomach. It sent him to a tree and went through it causing the tree to fall. Boom again stood up like it was nothing but this time he stopped fighting. He looked around frantically as he thought about what he saw. 'It can't be. Those rumors are true? The White Ghost does exist.' Guy looked at his enemy in confusion until the enemy turned to him and gasped. Boom pointed to him. "Behind you. The White Ghost." He yelled in a scared voice. Guy raised his eye brow but didn't turn. "Not very youthful to trick me my friend." Guy said. Behind Guy stood Ghost with the face still on his mask. Boom backed up before some cuts appeared on his body. Guy moved in and punched him right in the face. It sent Boom flying backwards and into a tree. However this time he fell dead. Guy checked him and saw a stab wound over his heart. He then looked around and saw Inu in a tree with his tanto in hand dripping in blood. Guy gave a curt nod as Inu gave him one back. Guy then ran to check on his students.

Earlier

Neji looked at his comrade as he checked her over with his Byakugan. He scowled seeing some internal damage as well as electrical burns. As soon as they finished the sisters, Bang came and hit Ten-Ten with an electrified tackle from behind. It was no surprise she couldn't dodge after fighting for at least an hour. She was tired. Neji sent a message via bird messenger some time ago and now had no idea what to do till Ghost appeared in front of him. Neji jumped back in fear for not hearing or even seeing Ghost appear.

Ghost looked at Ten-Ten or what it appeared to be looking at her through Neji's vision. His hands appeared from his cloak and glowed green. Neji gasped never seeing the Mystical Palm technique up close before. Ghost passed his hands over Ten-Ten's body as his chakra healed what it could quickly. He watched her breathe but she shook in pain. He stopped the technique before he reached inside his cloak and took out a green and blue pill. He gently opened Ten-Ten's mouth and put the pill in. Ten-Ten swallowed before sighing and falling asleep. Neji just stayed quiet before Ghost looked at him. He pointed to Neji's headband then himself. "You are from Konoha?" Neji asked. Ghost nodded before both see Lee flying past them and hit a tree.

His body fell to the ground with a sickening thud. Bang walked from behind a tree with a sadistic look on his face as he headed for Lee. He stopped when he felt a slash on his chest. Then another on his left arm before another on his right leg. Bang looked around wondering who or what was doing this till another slash on his back caused him to stumble forward. "Who is that? Show yourself." He screamed out. Bang looked at Neji who looked back at him but stayed by Ten-Ten. He wanted to get to Lee but didn't want to leave her to this guy.

Then he saw Bang back up with fear etched on his face. Behind him stood Ghost which he knew he is back there thanks to his Byakugan but something in his mind told him not to look back and deactivate his kekkei genkai quickly. Bang pointed to him. "YOU. The White Ghost. You can't be real." He screamed out as he whimpered. 'White Ghost?' Neji asked himself. Bang backed up more before he saw the world spin and go dark. Neji looked away as Bang's head fell off his body before the body fell forward.

Neji then turned and looked at Ghost checking up on Lee who has seen better days. Guy then comes up to the scene and sees the body of Bang, Neji and a sleeping Ten-Ten then Ghost checking Lee before doing the Mystical Palm technique on him. "Neji." Guy called out. Neji turned to him. "You alright? How is Ten-Ten?" Guy asked. "She is fine now thanks to him." He said pointing to Ghost who set some of Lee's bones in place. It is a good thing Lee is unconscious. Guy nodded before Inu came down. "Everyone alright?" He asked. Everyone nodded before Ghost stood up and turned around. He gave a signal telling Inu that Lee is fine. Inu nodded as Ghost walked to Bang's body then sealed his head before burning the body then burying it as he made a prayer.

XXXX

After gathering up what they could and picking up the two sisters that are alive plus the body of the third, Guy, Neji, Inu and Ghost head back to Konoha with Lee and Ten-Ten in tow. It is still day time as the sun is now overhead signifying twelve o'clock. It is a long walk since Ten-Ten and Lee needed time to recover. Ghost already sent a message to the Hokage and in it said to have a medical team on standby along with Ibiki, Anko and some ANBU.

They arrive at the gate as the medics take Lee and Ten-Ten and take them to the hospital while Ibiki, Anko and the ANBU take away the sisters and the bandits that were still alive. Inu, Guy and Neji went to the tower however Ghost went to a private area. In a clearing he did a small prayer before cremating the body of the third sister. Then put the ashes in an urn. He rarely did this but he always respected fallen ninjas, even if they were the enemy. It has been like that since he started to go out of the village at a young age, taught by both the ANBU and Root ANBU though Neko, Itachi, and Hebi implanted that into his head. The only time he didn't do it is if he didn't know who to send the ashes to. Instead he would bury them. Sealing the urn, he went and headed to the tower.

At the tower, Ghost arrived as Guy is telling what happened. "After the bandits attacked us and we defeated them, the Siren Sisters came into play. It was a long battle but we managed to defeat them and kill one in the process. It wasn't until the Thunder Brothers attacked that the real battle began. They did a sneak attack and wounded Ten-Ten. Neji stayed with her as me and Lee fought the brothers. We split them up since together they could use deadly combination attacks. I am not sure how the fight with Lee went but after seeing him it did not go well. My fight was evenly matched until Boom started to hesitate then he stopped fighting and said that the White Ghost was behind me. I am guessing he meant him." Guy said professionally as he pointed to Ghost.

Sarutobi nodded and let him continue. "Using that as a distraction I took him down a couple of times but he got up like nothing happened. It wasn't until Inu killed him that he went down." Guy finished. Sarutobi nodded before looking at Neji. Neji nodded. "Well after separating, I looked after Ten-Ten but I saw the fights with my Byakugan. Lee's wasn't going well. He was just being tossed around. He even opened the second gate and nothing fazed the guy. If Ghost never arrived, I can't imagine what would have happened to us. Ghost healed Ten-Ten before taking down Bang quickly though I barely saw it. Ghost then healed Lee as Guy-sensei and Inu arrived." Neji finished. Sarutobi nodded. "Alright. I will give the team the time off until Lee-san and Ten-Ten-san are able to go out again. Dismissed you two." Guy and Neji nodded before leaving.

Sarutobi looked at Inu and Ghost. "So did it go cleanly?" Sarutobi asked. The two nodded. "Alright. And the heads?" Ghost took out two scrolls then handed them to Sarutobi. Sarutobi put them away. "Alright. I heard one of the sisters died." He looked at Ghost. "Did you cremate her?" Ghost nodded. Sarutobi smiled. "Ok. How is the team?" Ghost looked down. Sarutobi raised an eye brow. "Ghost pushed them a bit hard yesterday and today their bodies took a small toll. Ghost apologized and sent them to the hot springs and the spa." Inu said. Sarutobi nodded slowly. "I see. Ghost, don't blame yourself for this. Tomorrow when they recover train them well." Sarutobi said. Ghost never looked up but nodded. Sarutobi sighed. "Don't punish yourself Ghost. I will see you two later. Dismissed." Inu and Ghost nodded as they disappeared. Sarutobi knew Ghost would be in a funk for a while.

XXXX

At the hot springs, Sakura and Satsuki are relaxing in the warm water. Sakura saw that Satsuki is really a girl and hid her large b cup breasts well. It made Sakura feel small. The girls relaxed as their bodies slowly got better. They wondered how Naruto was doing though. "You think Naruto is still blaming himself for what happened to us?" Sakura asked. "Not sure but I hope not. He really did train us well but the training he must have gotten must have been tough for him." Satsuki said. The girls sighed. They hoped their bodies would recover so Naruto would train them to be stronger.

XXXX

Night time

Ghost looked over Konoha like he always does. Earlier when the two sisters didn't give out any info since they lost their third sister, Ghost came in and gave them the urn. That made them open up and their fear for Ghost turned to respect after that. Right now he watched Satsuki and Sakura eat at a ramen stand with some of their friends. Satsuki's fan girls became devastated when they learned Satsuki is a girl, well most. Some still stayed loyal much to her annoyance. Right now they are talking about him. "So how is that guy on your team?" Kiba asked. Sakura looked at him. "His name is Naruto and he is very mysterious." "He is very strong too." Satsuki said. Everyone looked at the two and wondered about Naruto. "I bet he is not that strong." Kiba said. Satsuki and Sakura gave him a look. "He would take you down quickly. He took me down fast and I couldn't land a finger on him. I even went through him. Makes me wonder how." Satsuki said.

Kiba looked at her incredulously. "Through him? Like a ghost or something?" He asked. "No more like if he was a bushin but he wasn't. It is hard to explain. Anyway mutt boy he would completely obliterate you." Satsuki said as she ate her ramen. Kiba gawked. "Ok where is he so I can kick his ass and prove you wrong?" Sakura ate her ramen. "You do forget Satsuki is rookie of the year right?" She asked. Kiba's shoulders drooped. "Yeah but I still want a chance at him." The girls sighed. "Anyway what did you guys do today?" Sakura asked.

"Well we did our first D-Rank. It sucked." Kiba said as Hinata sighed and Shino did nothing. "Then like three more before we had some training." Hinata added in. "Kurenai-sensei is rough though mainly on me." Kiba said. "That is because you tried to hit on her and I don't mean physically." Shino said. The girls turned to Kiba with an angry look as he shrunk into his jacket with Akamaru snickering. "Eh same here but we had to do only two D-Ranks then training." Shikamaru said. "That is because of your lazy butt." Ino said. Shikamaru shrugged. Choji just ate his ramen.

"What did you two do?" Shikamaru asked. "Well we spent the day at the hot springs and then the spa since the training Naruto and Kakashi-sensei had us do yesterday wore us out badly. Though Naruto felt bad and sent us there. He said he will train us but take it easy until our bodies adjust. We really needed that. Our bodies were so stiff." Satsuki said. Sakura agreed as the others looked at them in shock. "That bad?" Hinata asked. "Like Satsuki said he is strong. That training proved it." Sakura asked. "Well just wait till the D-Ranks. You will be wishing for that training just to go to the hot springs all day." Kiba said. Sakura and Satsuki looked at each other wondering how bad they are.

Ghost looked at the group before they walked out and headed their own way. He went after Satsuki and Sakura though he spared a glance at Hinata, wondering what would have happened if he never saved her. He followed the two girls until they made it to their homes. He then went to the bar where Anko and the girls would be. He sighed knowing how it would always go. He arrived at the bar though without being Ghost. Naruto nodded to the bartender who nodded back since Naruto is a regular, he just doesn't drink. He then looked at the table where Anko and the girls would be. He sweatdropped which he only did that in here.

On the table is Anko who is plastered. The girls are Yugao who is Neko, Kurenai, Hana and the sisters who Anko somehow managed to get out. He wondered how the hell he would have to explain to the Hokage about this one. Anko looked over to him and waved. "HI NARUTO." She yelled out in a drunken stupor. Naruto sighed. "Oi didn't I say I would be fine for tonight?" She asked before stumbling and falling off of the table. The girls laughed as the other patrons either chuckled, looked away or wondered how the hell she got this drunk, again. Naruto face palmed before walking to the table. Yugao grabbed him and hugged him. "Hi Naruto. Be good to Anko until she drops her panties." Yugao said with a laugh in a drunken stupor. Anko looked at her from the floor. "HEY. I don't drop them for anyone." She yelled out. Naruto really hated to come here. "You girls are super drunk right now." He said in monotone with irritation mixed in before making some clones.

Each clone took a girl before they dragged them out, the bartender and some patrons thanking him. He knew where Kurenai, Hana and Yugao lived so taking them home is easy and making Kurenai and Hana forget is simple also, well the 'Naruto took them home' part. Now came the part that really sucked: taking Anko home but he also had to take the sisters home too. He had no idea where they are staying at though it should be in a cell but he did not want to get in trouble for that. So he took them to Anko's. The walk there is slow. Naruto couldn't shushin to her house, not after last time. It took him so long to get the puke stains off of his clothes.

Right now Anko is talking about random things, mostly in a slur, while the sisters are talking about bedding Ghost. Naruto knew what they meant since his Godfather had that burnt into his mind. He reads Icha Icha since he reads anything whether it is interesting or not. He knows what sex is but he doesn't really want it. He sees no point in it though his Godfather always said differently. Now all three are singing a song though badly. The civilians and ninja that pass by look at Naruto feeling sorry for the kid though the men wish they replaced him. The three women are on his back and they aren't bad looking. The guys fear Anko so they wouldn't dare talk with her. The two sirens, Sarah and Sharon, are identical since they and their dead sibling are triplets, well were. Each have a c-cup, toned bodies and a firm small ass; perfect for their small statures.

Naruto and his clones made it to Anko's apartment before opening the door. They walked in before closing the door then walk to her bedroom which is also her living room oddly. Only Naruto has been in here along with Yugao, Kurenai and Hana, though not together, so only he knew how the place looked. The clones put the sisters down on a futon before dispelling. Naruto put Anko down on her bed before being thrown down on said bed. She cuddled him as Naruto squirmed before having his back towards her. She held him tightly as she was already asleep. Naruto sighed wondering how tomorrow would go before he went to sleep.

Almost twelve thousand words. Hope everyone enjoyed this. The chapters will be around the same length. I don't think I will try a thirty thousand word for each chapter story just yet. Until I have written a good amount and get a better laptop. Now I know people might have some questions but ask me in reviews or PM but I think one of the most obvious is Anko considering around the time Naruto is born, she would still be around her early teens or younger so in this story, Anko is fifteen years older than Naruto. Meaning right now she is twenty eight, unless she is older than that which means all of that became unnecessary. Hmm… Oh and same for Itachi and possibly Kakashi and Yugao. I will have to do more research... The pairings I have no idea where to go since there will be no romance for Naruto, not yet at least. And like I said earlier Naruto has a bloodline but which I won't say until it is revealed next chappy, if I get around to write it since my other main stories are more important. So I hope you all liked it and kindly leave me some reviews. Nice ones. No flamers. Flamers be damned and ignored. Criticism I don't mind as long as it is helpful, not one that makes you look like a douche. So for now…

Laters.
