Kakashi tried again only for Naruto to repeat what he did only to appear 10 feet away from him. The others seeing how fast he moved all jumped in to catch him thus the chase began. Kakashi and Gai being the fastest of the group took off after the boy at a high speed using chakra throughout their bodies to keep up with Naruto. They watched as he flickered in different areas trying to distance themselves between them. Kurenai and Asuma not being as fast took off towards the village to report the recent events to the Hokage. Since they were bound to get left behind, they figure reporting this would be useful.

Naruto looked behind him and noticed the lack of two people. The only place they could possible go is up ahead to ambush him or to the Yondaime. The thought of a kage level ninja showing up and dragging him 'home' scared him. He increased his speed hoping to get away from the two elite ninjas. Right about now, Naruto was growing annoyed that he couldn't shake them off his tail. He needed a way to slow them down and soon. He pointed his finger behind him and whispers, cero. A small beam charged from the tip of his finger before firing off creating a large beam. Gai and Kakashi had a face of disbelieve when the beam knocked down several trees. This attack to them could be considered A-rank or higher attack but where did Naruto get his training was the general thought from the two. Several more beams were fired off but Kakashi and Gai being elites easily dodged them. It also helped that they weren't being fired with precision meaning he was hoping one of them would hit.

Looking in the distance Kakashi grew worried when he saw a familiar sight. It was the sight of giant bamboos, an area known as Giant bamboo forest. This area was located near the once Kannabi Bridge and also near Konoha's worst enemies Iwagakure. If Naruto passed both the Giant bamboo forest and the Kannabi bridge then he would be out of Konoha's reach. Kakashi looked over to his eternal rival and saw the solemn look upon his face. Gai also knew about the area as the Kannabi Bridge was now an ally of Iwa. No one was sure how they became Allies but all they knew was that Kusa picked a new leader and said leader created an alliance between the neighboring countries. Kakashi looked over Gai and game him a signal to do what he could to get the boy back. Gai nodded in confirmation before opening three of his gates before shooting ahead of Naruto in order to cut him off from reaching grass country.

Naruto sensed Gai appeared in front of him and cursed his luck. This wasn't what he planned at all and now his plans to leave would all be for nothing. They would drag him back to the hatred and being ignored by nearly everyone there. He would grow up isolated and all alone until he died. The Hogyoku pulsed several times reminding Naruto of his years of training with Zangetsu. He simple stopped as did Kakashi several feet behind him not underestimating him after those attacks he used. Gai closed his gates before the effects kicked in and waited to open again should Naruto try anything.

Naruto reached in mid air and allowed a glowing orb to float from his stomach changing into his sword. He surveyed his area for ways to escape and came up with on solution. Aiming the sword towards the sword, Naruto called out a word that would be engraved in their minds forever.

Bankai

An explosion of power blinded Kakashi and Gai for a brief second. Once their vision came back, they noticed his clothes and sword was different. In place of the large sword was a daito with a black blade and a short length of chain with a broken link at the end dangles from the base of the hilt. He now sported a long-sleeved, ankle-length black coat with red lining that is closed at his chest then left to flare out into ragged ends. Naruto feeling his power level beyond what he expected raised his sword and charged up his attack.

Getsuga Tensho

A black crescent with a red outline raced towards Gai. Gai dodged the attack on instinct and noticed Naruto directly behind his attack. Kakashi was floored by a move like that. He moved behind his attack so that Gai wouldn't try to grab him from the front but the back instead. But seeing as Naruto made it pass the fire country border, he was now out their reach. He glanced at the lager crescent before it disappeared. Kakashi lowered his head in shame knowing his sensei's son was loss to konoha.

Konoha

Minato sat in his office after finishing the last of his paper work. He thought back to his progress with his 8 year old Natsuki and so far things weren't going as planned for her. He wanted her to control at least four tails worth of Kyuubi's chakra to get a grasp on how it felt. She was almost at that level seeing as she could wield three tails worth of it but he had to neglect his son's training for it. He felt bad to push his son's training back until the academy but he was sure his son would be able to learn at a faster rate than his sister when he was the first out of the two to start counting numbers. He suspected his son to be a genius so why not let him have some fun as a child before exposing him to the horrors of a ninja. But still, he remembered his disappointing face when his 5 year old son approached them for training three years ago.

Flashback

Natsuki was being lectured on the power she had inside her and her purpose of using it by her mother Kushina.

"Well Natsuki since you have all these powers, what will you do with it?" She cocked her head sideways and thought about it.

"Well I want to be a great ninja just like you and Otousan and protect those I care about from big bullies. I will become Hokage just like Otousan and beat others down dattebane." Kushina blushed at the fact that her daughter inherited her verbal tic.

"What about your little brother Naruto? Would you protect him too?"

"Of course I'll protect my otouto. He is family and family sticks together. Plus I care for him more than he knows it." She accepted her answer but questioned her attitude towards him.

"But why do you push him away when he wants to play with you. You seem to focus more on training and other people more than him."

"I don't want him to be hurt when I'm training with my super powers and I can't play with him because it will take away time from my training. How will I protect him if I'm not strong enough to do that? I have to train to be the best ninja. Why don't you let him play so he won't be jealous of not having super powers like me?" Kushina narrowed her eyes at what she heard.

"What do you mean he's jealous of you?"

"Well I could feel his emotions and he feels jealous towards me for some reason but I guess it's from my super powers." Kushina thought it over and decided to look at it for herself seeing her daughter inherit that ability from her. Minato after hearing the new piece of information stepped out into view.

"Hey Natsuki-ko, how about we start our training for the day." She bounced around in delight at the words training. Before they began, Naruto came from the house already hearing his father offer to train Natsuki from the winds but he wouldn't tell them about that.

"Hello Otousan, kaachan, would it be possible that I could get some training. I would like to surpass you someday and training from now would surely help me accomplish this feat." Minato smiled at his way of putting things showing his growing intelligence but sadly he would have to decline his offer.

"I'm sorry Naruto but I need to closely monitor Natsuki's training so she won't fall behind when the academy starts. She needs to learn how to control Kyuubi's chakra to be a ninja." His thoughts were elsewhere. 'I need to make sure she doesn't go berserk and destroy this village. If I could get her to control a certain amount of its power then she could fight the influence she will face in the future.' Naruto looked at his sister with hate and jealousy. They recently found out that she inherited their bloodlines while he inherited his father's weak element wind though his was stronger than his father's own through their genes. She had Kyuubi's chakra while he once again had nothing though that didn't bother him but now she had their parent's love while he had none or so he thought. Kushina saw the look of jealousy and thought it was from her having Kyuubi's chakra.

"Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, go to your room this instant." Naruto turned away and moved to his room giving Natsuki one last glare. Kushina felt bad to do that to him but didn't want Natsuki to feel uncomfortable. She looked over at her musume and noticed her sad expression.

"I think he hates me kaachan. He never glared at me with this much hatred before." She sniffled making Kushina's and Minato's heart break. They hugged her not noticing the angry pair of blue eyes staring at the scene. Kushina rubbed her back in a comforting motion.

"Don't worry he'll get over his petty hate when he grows up. He may seem like a genius when it comes to combat but he doesn't seem to understand emotions and your motive for training so hard. Once he understands those two then I'm sure he will feel very foolish.

End of flashback

Such bad thoughts need to be left in the past. Now that the academy had started again and Natsuki at least got a grasp of Kyuubi's chakra, he would begin to train his musuko starting with sealing knowing he would be able to get it soon. If he was to learn it quickly then he would be able to suppress Kyuubi's chakra should Kushina or he not be around to do so. He would place the two on a team along with Sasuke to create a new powerhouse squad and legends. Images of the three striking fear in the hearts of Konoha's enemies brought a smile to his face. His thoughts were interrupted when Asuma and Kurenai burst through the office looking worst for wear. Kurenai caught her breath to give out her message that shattered his plan.

"Hokage-sama, Naruto left the village and is being pursued by Kakashi and Gai. Somehow he was able to obtain speed only they were able to keep up with." Minato frowned and started going through several handseals to transport to the three-pronged kunai he gave Kakashi but a small pug interrupted him.

"Hokage-sama Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze escaped Kakashi and Gai in Kusagakure. He managed to pass guy by going behind a powerful sword attack on par with an S-ranked jutsu called Getsuga Tensho." Minato stopped his previous jutsu and went through a different set. In a flash of light, Kakashi appeared holding onto the vest of Gai. He released his vest and turned to face Minato.

"I'm sorry sensei but your son is in grass country right now. He used several attacks on levels you'd never see a jounin use better yet a civilian with any training making me believe that he did indeed get some training. I also don't believe Kyuubi had anything to do with this seeing as those techniques are ones I never came across before." Minato mulled over what he was saying but couldn't comment on anything presented to him by his pupil.

"Why did he leave Konoha? I need you to find any friends of his so I could figure out what would cause him to truly leave. Surly it couldn't be the villagers seeing as I spoke to the civilian clan heads and they told me they would leave the boy alone. I'll speak to them later about this but in the mean time, don't tell Kushina about this. She started making plans to start teaching him and possible get him to get over his jealousy towards his sister's early training. The last thing we need is for Kushina to be angry and Natsuki to become depressed thinking it was all her fault."

"What is it about me being angry Minato-kun?" Minato paled when he saw Kushina step in with Natsuki bouncing beside her. "And while you're at it, can you tell me where I could find Naruto? I want to clear things up with him about his sister's early training and her motives. I don't want him to get any wrong ideas thinking we dislike him or anything related to that." She noticed the downcast when she mentioned Naruto and knew whatever Minato said about her being angry was connected to Naruto. She calmed down before looking dead in her husband's eyes.

"Tell me everything about what happened." Minato motioned for her to sit and began telling her about what happened.
