6am outside of fire country

He was tired, it was only 6am and he had already been awake for several hours, Ero-Sennin's training regiment was a brutal one. Over the Years he'd begun to grow acustom to the hard training but it seemed everytime he would begin to adjust the training only got harder. Naruto was now 10 years old, for the last 6 years he'd been training relentlessly for his return to Konoha on his 12th birthday. Since he had begun training he had improved greatly, he had mastered the art of tree walking, water walking, and he was working on a high level chakra control exercise that was like levetating. It was done by using a constant output of chakra and using it to push yourself off of the ground. He had an array of jutsu under his belt but he was always trying to improve them or increase there effectivness. A lot had changed in those 6 years though, Naruto no longer had blonde hair with blue eyes, Ero-Sennin had told him that he stuck out to much and that he would be better off changing his apperance. Naruto now had Black hair and emerald eyes. He wore a mask that covered the lower half of his face to hide his wisker marks, He had on a black sleevless shirt, with black pants with a dark green streak running down there side. He wore black boots and had a black kunni holder attached to his right thigh, and he had a black sword running down his back.

Traning with the Kyubbi had been rough as well, the demon fox had shown him some seals that placed a gravity seal on the boys body incresing the strength of the boys body. Naruto could now unlock 3 tails of the kyubbi's chakra and was working on the fourth now, he'd also learned to communicate with the fox without entering his mind scape. Things had been looking up over the years for the young boy, he had made new friends had learned more about his father, and on top of all that, he had traveled the country seeing amazing sites.

Naruto's new aperance allowed him to travel without many noticing him, he was currently headed with Jiraiya back to wave country for a mission. They had been contracted to go and take care of a group of rouges that had been attacking a nearby villiage. Naruto, had quite the record as far as missions went. He had 30 D ranked, 5 C, and one A ranked mission. He had made a name for himself as well, They called him The Jade Abyss, he'd kept mostly to the shadows and tried not to show his real skill. If only he knew that the mission he was about to embark on would forever change his life.

They arrived on the edge of the forest, masking there presences as they formulated a plan. Naruto walked forward and started using his grand fireball jutsu to fire three giant fireballs through out the camp. He quickly grabbed the rogues attention and began the fight. He with drew his blade from his back and started walking slowly forward, then with speed they couldn't follow Naruto jumped into the frey cutting down his enemies. The battle wasn't hard, but it was long, there seemed to be no end to the rouges.As Naruto made his way through the camp he came upon a tent that was well guarded, at first he thought that it was the leaders tent, but then as he rushed in to finish a foe, he caught the sight of a little girl poking her head out of the tent terrified. He ended the fight and approached the tent slowly, the girl stumbled back in fear, Naruto guessed that she couldn't be older then 5 years old.

Slowly he approached her and sheathed his sword into his belt. His hand reached out he gave her a smile and softly he spoke to her. "Hey, i'm not going to hurt you" she looked forward cautiously then reached out her small hand, she stepped into the light giving the emerald eyed boy a better view, she was young, and she wore rags for clothing, she had bruises on her wrists and on her face. Looking at her infuriated the young boy, and so he turned around signaling her to jump on his back, she cautiously agreed and hopped on Naruto's back resting her arms around his neck. He lept off to where he was supposed to meet Jiraiya his fury growing with every step. As he ran on he saw the leader, the coward was trying to run. He stopped and said to the girl, "Cover your eyes, i'll be right back for you. I promise" The girl nodded and placed her hands over her eyes.

Naruto took off catching the man quickly bringing a kick to the back of his head knocking him down and making him skid across the ground until he was painfuly stopped by a tree. Before the man could stand he felt the cold metal of Naruto's sword against his neck. "You have committed many wrongs, your not worthy to live you pathetic fool." He beheaded the man and put it in a bag that he tied to his belt. He went back for the girl and they once again took off to meet with Jiraiya.

When he arrived the Sannin was sitting on the stump patiently awaiting his student. "What took you so long?" he then seemed to notice the girl on the boys back, "Where'd you find the squirt at?" He gave her a quick look over then noticed the sac attached to his waist.

The Emerald boy look at his mentor and tossed him the bag. "The girl was being held prisoner, they had been abusing her, i couldn't leave her behind."

For the first time the young girl smiled hugging Naruto close to her. "Will you be my Daddy" The question caught the young boy off guard and the Sannin fell from his stump.

Naruto thought it over carefully, he turned to his mentor who just shrugged his shoulders, insinuating he really didn't see a problem either way. The question was, was Naruto ready to take care of a kid, money wasn't an issue, he'd been saving money since he had left Konoha all those years ago. He looked down into the eyes of the girl, they were a crystal blue, and her hair was a dirty blonde, she had already mastered the art of puppy dog eyes, and he fell for them hook, line, and sinker shaking his head in affirmative to the young girl. She jumped on him latching her arms around his neck with no intent on ever letting go.

So the now even odder trio set off to there next destination, The viliage hidden in the sand to collect there pay, and complete there mission.
