Naruto didn't know what was going on. Though what he did know was that this guy was really starting to piss him off. First of all, he just happened to have appeared when monsters came to the town. Second of all, he would mumble something under his breath about something he didn't really understand like 'fate' or 'destiny' or even 'legends' and to be honest? He couldn't give a damn about that. What he would have liked to know though was who the hell this guy was!

But no, oh no… this guy just ignored him about telling him his name and now he was having to not only deal with this guy while they cleared the town of beasts but he had to make sure that this guy didn't know anything about his gifts. Sure, he knew that this power, this gift was something that did come in handy from beast attacks or even sneak attacks but well… he would rather keep it to himself. The only ones who knew of those gifts were Jiraiya and Gaara. But that was different of course; they were people who he trusted so much, people who had known him all his life.

Running a hand through his hair, the young man calmly asked one last time "who… are… you…" Sure, he didn't think he would get an answer this time but this was going to be the last time he was going to ask this. After that, he was giving up on trying to get an answer that he would never get.

"My name is of no importance. Just know that I'm your ally for now." Said the masked man. Wasn't really much of an answer which only made Naruto piss him off all the more.

Narrowing his blue eyes, Naruto looked around as he tried to sense the beasts that were near. Though some of them were far out though for now he didn't think they would have any kinds of problems so that had to be something anyway. "So, what brought you here?" asked Naruto as he started to run on ahead, the masked man running ahead. Naruto was amazed that he was fast though he wasn't going to complain anything about it.

"I heard a monster was coming here so I came to check it out. Never thought it would attack a town though." Said the hooded man. Well, that also wasn't much of an answer but it would have to do for now. Sighing softly, the young man kept on running. Every now and again, Naruto would shoot down some of the beasts that would try to take the two of them down and the man would attack with the sword that he used. He didn't know if the hooded man had another weapon though he was sure that there was something, anything about this guy that may be revealed so it would give him an idea as to what was going on around here or something.

Sadly, that didn't seem to be the case for no matter what the hooded man did there was just no way of getting any kind of hint. All he knew was that this guy was fast, strong, and seemed to keep to himself. Almost like he had some kind of unwritten rule about something. Whatever that would be, but for now he was going to have to deal with it. He would have to just deal with the fact that he wasn't going to get any kind of information from this guy…

"You handle guns pretty well… I'm amazed that you don't need bullets." Calmly said the hooded man. That had surprised Naruto a little bit. Looking down at the guns in his hands, he had always thought it was something that anyone could do well until he had heard from Jiraiya that not everyone can harness the energy within themselves to use such large amounts of energy like that.

Shaking his head, Naruto set the guns back in their holsters as he said "I had to learn how to defend myself so I learned how to use guns, and the old pervert taught me how to harness that energy because I seem to have a higher amount of energy than anyone else."

"I see…"

"You see what?"

"Nothing, it is not important." Calmly said the hooded man before he went silent once again. Man this guy really liked to stay quite. Well, it seemed like today was going to be a quite one between them. The only sounds Naruto could hear were people screaming around him and the guards that had been posted by the gates and through town were running around like cowards. Oh if only he could rub their noses in it how some 'snot nosed man' is able to fight back monsters while they did nothing.

Shaking his head, the young man looked up and saw the beasts that resembled birds were flying down toward them. Naruto acting quickly pulled out his gun and targeted the beast while gathering up his energy. It was still far away so his bullets would do little to nothing. As soon as the beast was just a few feet away, Naruto released the energy from his gun and shot at the monster. The bird beast let out a loud scream before its body turned into ash and blew away with the wind.

Narrowing his eyes, Naruto knew that he would have to be careful or he would end up hurting people around him. Though that was going to be tough since there were so many people around him that were running, trying to get away from the center of town so they wouldn't get hurt by the beast. Taking a deep breath, Naruto ran on ahead, having to hurry up and get to the Residential Area so they could protect this town and keep it safe.

Though, unknown to Naruto as he ran through the town his pupils turned into slits. The energy that was within him was building up stronger as if it was preparing for something to come.


Running out of a tall building on Suna were two men. They had felt the ground shaking from the beast that had arrived in town. They didn't know what was going on though they had a feeling that the man they were looking for would be after the beast for the money or the points to make sure that his ranking still remained number one.

The one man had long grey hair that shot upward that in a way resembled a fang. There was a strip of cloth wrapped around his forehead with a metal plate that went over and hid his left eye from anyone that would look at him. He also wore what looked like cloth that came out of his shirt and up his neck just ending over his nose. It was rather amazing that he could wear that on a desert planet and not be affected

The grey haired man wore a long sleeved light grey shirt that was both loose yet at the same time a bit form fitting showing little of the muscles that he has on his chest. Next, he wore a brown leather jacket that looked like something that some bikers would wear. The collar on the jacket was high enough to cover his mouth if it wasn't for the fact that his mask already does that. On the jacket seemed to be different pockets, not really sure what he would have in them but one would think it was for his cash… but really, it was for something else. The jacket did help make the man look bad ass though.

His pants were long yet loose. The way the material looked around his knees, it was be easy to see that he could unzip the legs off to turn the pants into shorts. The pants were a light grey colour to the point that they would look almost white. There were dark patches of black on the knees and there were black around the hem of the pant legs and deep pockets that looked like they held something within though it was hard to tell what the deep pockets would have.

Next and finally were his boots. They were grey like his clothes with a rounded toe. One could easily tell right away that they were steel toed combat boots and not to mess with him if he was about to kick you. The laces were black and of course reached all the way up to the tongue of the shoes.

"So Sai, think Yellow Flash is gonna show up to fight this beast?" calmly asked the man, his voice serious yet with a hint of compassion.

The other man looked over at the slightly tanned skin of his comrade. The man had short black hair that framed his face perfectly. His pale skin made his black hair darker, making it seem like he was nothing but a ghost but really, he was as alive as the man that stood next to him.

The black haired man, or who is better known as Sai wore a black with a hint of grey short sleeved muscle shirt. One could clearly see that he was a bit of a thin man, at least compared to the man that stood next to him. Though it was also easy to see that he had muscles on him. The shirt also had straps; one could see that they were the straps of his gun holsters. The straps went up his shoulders and crisscrossed over his back and the guns of course were neatly placed under his arms yet were positioned perfectly for him to grab the guns when necessary.

Next were his pants which were a navy blue colour. The pants were loose, though mostly so he wouldn't be restricted by the tightness of his clothes since he preferred to be in loose fitting pants. His pants had many pockets, possible to hold other objects such as ammo for his guns though that was only to assume because of the guns that he seemed to carry with him everywhere. Around his waist was a black belt that seemed to have some bags tied around the belt. They didn't blow in the wind as it went past them so it was easy to see that he had something in those bags that weighed them down.

Next were the black combat boots that he wore. In a way, they were similar to what his friend wore though they seemed bulky. Like he needed the extra bulk to throw in more energy when he was in a battle of hand to hand combat. To finish off his outfit, were the black fingerless gloves. He possibly wore them so his hands wouldn't sweat from holding onto his guns for an extended period of time.

Sai pulled out a small hand held computer as he looked through it and started to type up something. As if he was putting in some kind of search code. "According to this, he would be here. This was the last place his travel visa went to. Plus with the beast it gives us all the more reason to look for him here. Why do you doubt my computer skills Kakashi?"

"Because last time you were sure that Yellow Flash was on a planet we ended up in a swamp on Konoha and fought a fire breathing beast. I was just happy I have my clothes fire proof." Calmly said Kakashi as he ran a hand through his hair.

Sai just had a smile on his face; it always bothered Kakashi how he would always smile like that. Like he didn't have a care in the world but he didn't say anything about that since Sai did tend to keep his past to himself, and of course where it belonged. The past. Though it still had the grey haired man worried for Sai knowing that he was trying to make everyone happy, even if he was naïve about what happened around him sometimes. Such as when he was attracted to a woman and he would say something out of line and get smacked across the face.

"Let's go this way." Calmly said Sai as he started to walk off.

"I hope your right this time Sai." Said Kakashi as he followed the black haired young man.


Naruto ran through town. He didn't know what was going on, though what he did know was that he had to make sure that nothing happened. Taking a deep breath, he saw people running into their homes to escape the beasts. Naruto shook his head, not sure if people's homes would be safe enough from the size of the beast. At least from what he had been able to see anyway.

"Hm… we're still a ways from there…" said the hooded man. Made Naruto want to tell him 'no shit' but he kept that to himself for the time being. Looking around, the young man wondered why he hadn't seen any other beasts for a while now… had there been less than he thought had been possible or was it something else? He couldn't really be sure though at the moment he couldn't really care about how many beasts they fought or killed.

To him, all he wanted was to make sure that all the monsters should be dead and he would be able to make sure that everyone remained safe and nothing more and nothing less. Taking a deep breath, Naruto ran a hand through his hair as he inhaled softly and started to make his way through the town. The sand shifting under his shoes as he stretched his arms above his head. "So… uh… what do you plan to do after the beast is dead?" asked Naruto as he walked around town, just wanting to make sure that they would talk about something anyway. There was no way that he would be able to keep traveling without saying something. Since normally, he's walking through town talking to his friend Gaara.

"I have my own things to handle…" calmly said the hooded man.

Well, this guy really did keep to himself. Sighing softly, Naruto looked ahead and saw the guards that were posted at every entrance to Suna only to see that they were now starting to run away. "Of all the guards to 'protect' the town they had to have people who run away from the slightest sign of danger? That's just sad."

"I agree." Calmly said the hooded man. At least that was something they could agree on. Though, that may be the only thing they could agree on.

Shaking his head, Naruto looked over at the guards before he started to run on ahead. Making sure that he didn't fall over since the sand was a little slippery though he didn't think he would fall since he did live on this planet but then again, he did have a habit to ride his hover bored. Okay yeah, he had gotten lazy over running through town and had depended way too much on his bored.

Groaning, Naruto looked at the sky and frowned a little before yelping when the ground started to shake once again. Yelping out again, Naruto fell over on his rear end only to sigh. Looking up and around he saw that anyone that had been outside still had fallen over… everyone, but the hooded man. Narrowing his eyes up at the hooded man, Naruto growled a little as he said "why didn't you fall over!?"

"I've learned to keep my balance, by throwing my balance off."

"What?"

"It's something you must learn for yourself." Calmly said the hooded man. Naruto just rolled his eyes before pushing himself up onto his shaky legs when the tremors started to die down. Whatever was causing this had to be huge if it could cause everyone (not including the hooded man) to fall over from the force of its weight. Though it only made Naruto feel the resolve burning more within his very soul. He had to stop this monster, this beast before it tore the whole damn town apart. The thought of all the innocent lives here being taken away made his heart ache.

Growling for a moment, Naruto started to run on ahead. The hooded man following right behind him. Hell, Naruto didn't even care if the guy followed him, he could go to the forbidden desert for all he cares but at the moment he knew that he couldn't beat the beast on his own. Something that had so much killing intent for him to even feel it all the way from here had to be powerful and very strong.

What also had him curious was why he had been able to sense the beast in the first place… sure, he knew that he could sense killing intent of anything alive but… the weird feeling he had from this creature it didn't feel like it was really alive. As if it was made rather than born or hit with the energy force known as 'rune'. From what he knew, it somehow turned living people into monsters, though he didn't know how this thing was any kind of living creature at all. Even if it had been an animal of some kind there was just no way that it would have been able to have been anything before.

'Whatever it was, or is… I'll figure it out…' thought Naruto has he pumped his legs so he would run faster. He had to hurry up and get to the Residential Area before the beast had ripped it into shreds or the town was somehow turned into a huge version of building blocks that a child would normally play with. Just thinking about it even brought a chill down his spine though Naruto knew that he would have to do something or else the whole town was doomed.

"Wait." Shouted the hooded man suddenly, which had caused Naruto to suddenly turn around and stared at the hooded man as he just stood there. "I'm sorry but I can't go any further. This is where you and I part ways Naruto."

"Wait a second how do you know my name?" asked Naruto.

"You'll have to take down the monster."

"Whoa wait a second! I know I'm not the brightest but even I know I can't take down that monster all by myself!" shouted Naruto.

The hooded man smiled a little, which was the only part of his face that he could see. He just smiled before holding out his sword. "Take this with you Naruto… You'll need this blade to help you beat that beast and of course… through your destiny."

"Destiny?" asked Naruto.

Before Naruto could ask anything else, the young man watched as the hooded man tossed the sword in the air. Naruto yelped for a moment before watching as the blade landed in the ground. Staring at it in shock, Naruto couldn't believe what he was seeing. The blade was just like when he first saw it. A blade that had a jagged steel blade that resembled a lightning bolt. The hilt looked like a dragon's neck while the blade came out of the hilt that resembled a dragon's jaw and head. The guard that took place on the sides of the hilt almost looked like dragon claws. Naruto couldn't believe that this guy was really giving him such an amazing sword.

Shaking his head, Naruto carefully wrapped his hand around the hilt before pulling it out of the sand and held it up. Looking up at the blade as he held it toward the sun and just watched as the blade seemed to sparkle within the sun's rays. "What an amazing sword…" mumbled Naruto with awe. He had no idea that something so simple could look so amazing. At least compared to the swords that he had in the past that were, of course all broken because of the overuse but he hadn't had the money to have them repaired properly.

He had no idea that anything could look this beautiful, at least for a sword anyway. Shaking his head, he then noticed that there was something else on the ground. It almost looked like a sheath, but this was just the back of one, with some straps. Maybe to keep the sword on his back or something so it wouldn't ruin his shirt? He didn't know, nor did he care.

Looking up, Naruto was about to thank he hooded man only to blink when he saw that he had disappeared. Okay, he knew that the guy was gonna go but he hadn't expected it to be that soon. Narrowing his eyes, Naruto shouted "you son of a bitch! How could you have just left me alone to fight a fucking beast like that?!" Oh, it was easy to see that he was pissed but at the moment, Naruto didn't really give a damn. He had been raised by honour and to him, that hadn't been any sign of honour at all.

Shaking his head, Naruto rolled his eyes before he turned away and started to walk forward… That is, until he started to feel the ground shake again. This time, it wasn't as powerful like it was for the beast that he had been after. In fact, the killing intent didn't even match. Far from it, there were two of them that were heading their way toward Naruto and not only that, but they were… "Underground?" whispered Naruto before he took a step back thinking that something big was going to happen.

"What could it be now?" asked Naruto, knowing for a fact that he wasn't going to get an answer at all. Suddenly, there were two lumps in the ground, slowly moving their way toward the blonde haired young man. He didn't know what kind of beasts were heading toward him but he knew that he shouldn't take it lightly. He had to be careful; something that both Gaara and Jiraiya had taught him when he was growing up. Now he was going to have to take their words to heart for he had never fought something like this, he just knew he hadn't.

Soon, the sand started to shift and spill away as the two lumps started to come out from the sandy depths. Growling, Naruto tightly held onto the sword as he wondered what the monsters were as they slowly started to come out of the sand. He figured that with what brains they had, they heard of 'slow entrances' or a 'dramatic entrance'. Either way, he hated both.

Tightly holding onto the hilt of the sword, Naruto knew that this was no time to think about how they were coming into this area, but how to take them out. Hm… that was kind of funny; he would have to write that down or something later. Chuckling at the thought, Naruto shook his head before his blue eyes narrowed into slits.

Soon, the two lumps from the sand jumped out, their bodies were large round boulders with three horns on their heads. Two at the sides and one in the center. Their bodies were of course, like stone, the colour grey like any other stone. They had large arms and legs, thin yet he could easily sense just how powerful they really were. One wrong move and Naruto knew that he would be done for right about now. The only other thing he noticed on their bodies was the large mouths that they had which had rows of sharp teeth.

He didn't know how they got here, if they got here with the large beast or they just dug underground… either way, he knew that he had to take them out here and now… Smirking, Naruto held the sword in one arm, held out the other while curling his fingers toward his palm and back in a taunting motion. "Bring it on… losers." He taunted.
