Hello people! I am sorry this took a ALONG time. Things have been very crazy with my life. Here is the next chapter. Also, I am skipping the fight scene, because I can't write them.

Novus looked at the screen with a frown. "This day keeps getting worse. First we fail to capture Naruto, then this." The screen showed a group of warships. The warships all bore the same marking . . . a black star with eight points. The ships seem to be standing still. Novus turned his head. "Admiral, alert the crew. I want everyone ready for battle." The Imperial Guard Admiral nodded and left.

"They are looking for Naruto," a female voice said. Novus saw Ravia walking into the room. "They believe he is on the ship."

"I see. We are under your orders. What do you command?"

"We must keep Naruto out of Chaos' hands at all costs. If he was captured, the Imperium will be in great danger. Order the ship to retreat, but keep all hands ready for battle. I know not where Naruto is, but we have to give him time to escape." Novus looked up at her.

"Who is Naruto? Why is the Inquisition interested in him?"

"I was waiting for you to ask that. I cannot say much, but Naruto is the key figure in a plan. A plan that Chaos is afraid of."

Naruto looked at Gaara. The two Akatsuki had fled after a fire warrior destroyed Sasori's outer shell. Chiyo had healed Garra, but lost her life in the process. "So. . . . Gaara, how are you," Naruto asked with a nervous grin. The ninja from Konoha glared at him, and he could tell the Fire warriors were watching the ninja.

"What happened to you," Gaara asked with little emotion. "I looked all over for you, but could not find you." Naruto sighed and began to tell his story.

/ Flashback

Naruto wept as he walked down the road leading to Wave. All of his friends had just glared at him once they found out about the Kyuubi. "Why do you weep, child?"

Naruto looked up and found a hooded figure sitting in a tree. The figure wore all white and had a strange staff with him. Naruto noticed the cloven feet. "Who are you," Naruto asked drawing a kunai.

"I have many names, but you may call me Cho. Who are you, young one?"

"Naruto Uzumaki."

"Why do you weep?"

"It's a long story and I don't even know you!"

"I see." The figure removed the hood to show a blue face with some wrinkles. Naruto gasped. "Then I shall tell you my story. I come from a place called Tau. I needed some time to rest, so I came to this planet. I was about to take a nap, when I heard you crying." Naruto looked at Cho looking for any lies, but found none. Cho jumped down from the tree. "Mind if I walk along side you?"

"Uhhh. . . sure!" The two walked towards Wave and began to talk about different things. Naruto soon told Cho of the Kyuubi and his banishment.

"They punish you, because of a burden you did not ask for. They showed you hate, but you showed them love! Hmmmmmm. Naruto let me talk to you about the Greater Good."

"Cho soon offered me to take me on as a student. After that we left for Tau," Naruto said with a smile. "My ship crashed and we waiting for help."

"I see. You and your friends may stay in Suna for as long as you like," Gaara replied with a small smile. "I shall have rooms ready for you and your party at my house."

"HOW CAN YOU LET HIM STAY IN SUNA," Saukra screamed. Naruto sighed.

"I must agree with my student. Naruto is an enemy of Konoha and if you let him stay here, the alliance could end," Kakashi said. Gaara sighed at the Konoha ninja.

"I know. Also, your mission has ended. Please return to your village."

Naruto looked at over Suna with a frown. He did not want to return. He looked down at a small wooden box in front of him. The box came from Corvain. Naruto opened it. Inside was a ring of gold. The ring had a lion engraved on it. "What is this? Why did I dream of it," Naruto asked himself. A few weeks ago, he dreamed of this ring. Something told him to get the ring.

"That's some ring you have," a voice said. Naruto turned around and saw an older man with scares on his face.

"Who are you," Naruto asked.

"I'm just a civilian talking a walk. I always enjoyed this spot."

"I see. I'll move."

"Don't worry about. So, you are an Ethereal of the Tau?"

"What?"

"Don't worry. I was part of the Imperial Guard a long time ago. My name is Zerin."

"Naruto."

"So you know how to use that weapon?"

"Not really. I was never any good."

"I see. I can give you a few tips."

"Really? That would be good."

"Meet me here around 8 a.m."

The Tau ethereal looked at the holograms. The first hologram was of a woman in black and tan robes. She had long pointed ears. The second hologram was of a man in golden armor.

"Zerin has meet Naruto. He will train him for a while and give him a piece of an heirloom," the man said. "How strong is Naruto?"

"Naruto is strong, but still has more to learn," Cho said. "Far seer Aleera, have you learned anything more?"

"Nothing, but I sense something."

"What," the man asked.

"The Ruinous Powers fear Naruto. They fear the new age he could bring to the galaxy."

"As they should. We need to be careful. Agents of Chaos are looking for him," Cho said with worry.

"Naruto is with Zerin. Zerin is a member of the Adeptus Custodes. As such, we are sword to protect the Emperor of Mankind and that includes his heir."
