Seven Years Later

Its been seven years since Naruto, Hinata and his older sister left the left and things werent just the same. Konoha was on already on the path on destruction and Iwa and Sound, along with other minor village had called for war against them, taking advantage over their state. Tsunade sent every available shinobi after the two, but they came up with nothing. She was forced to stopped when she got an unexpected visit during a council meeting.

Flashback

A Couple Days after They Left

The council room was filled by both the civilian side and the shinobi side. The announcement and revelation hit them hard, well the civilian side at least. The shinobi side had an idea, but never gave the boy any support, so they were just as bad. Tsunade then came and the meeting began.

"Hokage-sama, have any of the shinobi found the young Namikaze-san?" a civilian asked.

"Yes, we must find him as soon as possible. The Fourth's son is in danger!"

"SILENCE! We are doing everything we can to find him, but considering who he went with, then I doubt that he would found."

"Of course you wont find him" a voice said. They looked to see who it was and when they did, they stopped breathing. Miley al Ghul they thought.

"You must bring back Namizake-sama immediately! He must be safe inside the village!" a stupid civilan councilman said. And like a disease, his stupidity reached the other council members on the civilian side, while the shinobi council just prayed the girl wont bring the league into the village.

"Are you demanding things from ME?!" she said in a dangerous tone as started raising her killing intent. The remained silent. "Every single one of you here are hypocrites. Safe in the village? Wasn't it his execution a couple of days ago? Namikaze-sama? Don't make me laugh. Minato was a complete fool when he put his trust into this village. I was right thirteen years ago, and I'm right now."

"We want to apologize-"

"Apologize for the suffering that he went through? My brother might have had a kind heart, even after everything he went through, he still doesn't want this place destroyed. He doesn't believe in vengeance, but he isn't coming back."

"Please, we didn't know that he was the Fourth's son!"

"Bullshit! That doesn't give you the reason to do what you did. He gave out his soul. HIS SOUL! and yet you couldn't even respect his last wish? How pathetic. I guess even for the most stupid, mourning for maximum for two years is expectable, but for thirteen years, THIRTEEN YEARS YOU PEOPLE ABUSED HIM! Nothing you do or say will erase that. I only came to tell you this; Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuuga are both under league protection. Anyone that hurts them or is trying to look for them gets killed regardless of the situation, no questions asked. Good day and I hope Konoha rots in hell." she said and then disappeared.

"Troublesome" was all Shikaku said.

End of Flashback

Since then, no one looked for the two. The Konoha now 8 kept training to get stronger and would go to Ichiraku's once a week to honour their blond friend. Even after all these years, they completely ignored Sakura and Sasuke. Sakura tried, and even though they still hate her, they have to deal with her on mission, so try to act civil, as well as Sasuke. Although he shows that he doesn't care, he felt hurt that they ignored him. He also felt guilty for what he was about to do to Naruto. The guilt just kept eating at him, and even though the warning given, he still secretly looked for him. He also kept researching on the truth behind his clan's demise and the clan that the Uchiha's feared. Although he never believed it at first, but after doing a bit of research, he found out there was indeed a clan that they feared, but he didn't know why, or their name. The very thought made him shudder. He also stopped his vengeance plan on wanting to kill Itachi, until he found out the truth.

"Tsunade-hime, how are you?" Jiaraya said as he entered through the window of the Hokage office.

"Don't you have any manners? You the door next time!" she yelled at him. "Why are you here anyways?"

"Did you know that Uzu was rebuilt?" he asked seriously. She nearly spit out her sake

"WHAT!?"

"Yeah I had the same reaction too when I found out. No doubt that the Uzumakis were completely anialated, but...the werid part is that its been running for the past five years."

"How is that possible? If it were being rebuilt, or at least people who were going to live there, we would have heard about it. But for five years and we didn't know? Impossible!...unless you knew nd were hiding it?" she questioned raising her eyebrow.

"No I swear! I just heard about it myself! It is strange, but what I can believe it to be is some kind of seal that forbids some people from knowing its excitstence."

"But why would they do that? Even so if there was a seal, how would you know?"

"Don't know really. It might have been brought down for others to know about it, not really sure myself." After a long silence, she asked,

"Do you think its him?"

"The boy was smart, hell he was almost 13 when he showed us he knew his father's technique that I'm wondering how old was he when he mastered it. Honestly it could. I dont know."

"ANBU, bring me the Konoha 10 including Asuma, Kurenai, Gai and Kakashi." The ANBU bowed and then left.

"Are you sending them there?"

"Yes I want them to scout out the area and maybe get a piece treaty."

"You do know that there isn't a chance that you'll get one if he is the Kage there."

"I know that, but he loved Konoha. We might get a chance."

"Don't count on it. Now if you excuse me, I need to do some research." he said giggling perverted and then left. Right after him, the Konoha 10 and their senseis had arrived, although the remaining of team 7 was being isolated by the rest.

"You wish to see us Hokage-sama" Neji began.

"Yes, I want all of you, although I know it isn't smart, to go to Uzu and scout out the place."

"With all due respect, Hokage-sama, but wasn't Uzu destroyed?" Kurenai asked.

"Yes it was, but just about know, Jiraiya came to me with information saying that it was up and running for the past 5 years." They gasped. How in the world was that possible?

"But if it was, then wouldn't we have known?" Asuma asked.

"We're not sure either, but just go check the place out."

"Wasn't Uzu the home of the Uzumakis?" Sakura asked. They all glared at her.

"Yes it was, but they were destroyed."

"Do you think that its him. That he rebuilt it?" Kiba questioned. The rest waited in anticipation.

"I dont really now. Nothing is known about this new coutry, thats why I'm sending you guys."

"If its looking for him, then why the hell are they coming" Ino asked as she pointed at team 7.

"Enough of this. They're going because I said so. Now get going" as they were leaving Shikamaru said,

"Its troublesome but I believe he's there. Ot is his home country after all."

"Yes it is indeed quite logic to find him there." Shino remarked.

"It would be nice to see him again" Chouji said.

"I hope our youthful chance isnt distrubed because of them." Then they started their journey to Uzu.

Else where, in a dark room where people are seated around a table

"My Lord, they have been spotted nearing the boarder towards this country. Your orders?"

"Let them come in. But I want them being tailed at all times. Konoha might be at the brink of distruction but they must not be underestimated."

"Understood!" And then he left.

"Lord Uzukage, what are you planing to do?" A red haired man said.

"We will put out a show for them. First give them some hope, and then take it away from underneath. They've become quite prideful and its something I'd like to crush. They'll regret betraying Uzu, that is something I promise." he said as he and a woman standing beside him smirked.
