I do not know had to add chapters yet, so till then I'm stuck adding them as new stories. Help would be appreciated.

PeterKim-Thank you for reminding me of him, completely forgot about him. It helped a lot.

Jxjzv- Yes Suigetsu will train, yes he will have some power. Thank you for the idea with Ami. It made better since then what i was going to do. Also, that jutsu was a good idea. But most of all, THANK YOU for the grammar help. And don't worry, I know the difference between flames and constructive criticism.

Impstar-Yes.. that is quite a plot whole. I must now think of a reason he can do that. And yeah, Naruto would fit into Akutsuki well, eh? If only if it wasn't for Kyuubi. Though, that does give me some vague ideas...


Naruto sat against a rock, watching the cave entrance for any signs of movement. 'The storm may hide our tracks, but it will not hide or presence.' Naruto thought tiredly. Looking over at the sleeping outcasts that were with him, Naruto smirked. 'Outcast? Hmm… no, we're not just outcast. We chose to abandon our homes. We left on our on free will. Yet, we are still cast from society. I guess that would make us 'The Free Outcast' eh?' Naruto laughed, liking the sound of the name. 'I'll run it by the others later.' He thought. Turning back to the entrance, Naruto watched as the heavy ran fell outside. He watched as for a few hours, just sitting there. The rain outside lessened, becoming a light rain-shower. Hearing movement behind him, Naruto turned around, spotting Ami moving towers him. "Your still up?" She questioned. "Yeah, couldn't sleep. Rarely ever can, actually." He muttered. "Whys that? You have nightmares?" She asked. "No, I've just always had to stay alert. I couldn't trust the people of that village!" He muttered, spitting the reference out like a curse. "Oh! I'm sorry, I hope that I didn't bring up bad memories." "You didn't." Naruto quickly replied. A moment of silence reigned between the two.

They sat there, watching the rain. "Um, Naruto? I was wondering, how did you come across my locket? Where you there when my dad died?" Ami asked. Naruto sighed. He had hoped he could have avoided this question just a little bit longer. "Yeah, I was there. Your father was my sensei for a while. He taught me how to mold my chakra. After that, we went our separate ways, meeting up every few days to demonstrate what I had learned. However, Two weeks after we first met, he showed up, but wasn't alone. He had sold me out to Konoha, said he had to in order to save you. I had to fight them off, and I killed your father in the process." Naruto said. Ami's eyes widened, tears forming in them as she gasped and backed away from Naruto. Seeing this, Naruto sighed. "I'm sorry, but I don't regret killing him. I only regret that I trusted him in the first place." Ami continued to cry, backing into a corner. "I-I don't hate you for it Naruto, but I need some time alone." She said, crying. "Okay" Naruto mumbled. "Just be sure to get some sleep."

Naruto yawned as the morning sun rose up into the sky. He had stayed up all night, watching the rain. Now though, he needed a quick rest. Walking over to the sleeping trio, Naruto kicked Suigetsu awake. "WHAT THE FUCK!" He steamed, waking the other two. "GRRRRR! Suigetsu!" The girls growled, mad at him for waking them up. "Hey, it's not my fault, blame Naruto!" He yelled. "Get up, all of you. It's morning, so we're moving out in a few minutes. Suigetsu take watch. You can use your new power to search for anyone nearby. There is plenty of water on the ground for you to use." Naruto said tiredly. "Alright, alright. Just don't expect great results, I'm still learning how to control it." Suigetsu muttered. Nodding, Naruto turned to the girls. "Ami, you get cleanup duty, make it seem like we were never here. It would be best to start at the back and work up." Nodding, Ami stretched, before walking to the back of the cave. "I guess I got food duty, eh?" Fu asked. "Yep!" Naruto stated, laughing quietly at the look on her face. Grumbling, Fu got up and walked toward the exit. "Alright, while you guys do that, I'm going to take a quick rest. I took guard duty last night and I'm tired!" He stated, before he flopped on the ground and fell asleep.

Ami sighed as she dirtied up the back of the cave, making it seem as if no one had used it. Currently, she was feeling very confused. "Why did you do it dad? Didn't you say yourself that you hated the ninja system?" She wondered aloud. When her father had fist left to join the guardians, he had told her never to trust the ninjas that would check on her. He had told her that the ninja system was evil and corrupted, and that they could betray her without warning. 'And yet, he sold out Naruto to them, going against all his beliefs! Why, though? Was it just to save me? I wonder, if I had never been caught, would none of this of happened?' "Ugh, this is so confusing." She muttered, as she continued working. "Stupid dad! Stupid ninja system! Naruto is right! The ninja system needs to end!" Suddenly, an idea came to her. "What's going to happen to the group once we all complete our goals?" For some reason, she did not want to find out the answer to her question.

Fu sat against a tree, the group's breakfast, a rabbit and some apples, sat not to far away. She was tired, still waking up from her sleep. As such, she never sensed the three Taki ANBU sneaking up from behind the tree until they attacked. Before she could move, they had bound her with ninja wire and slapped a chakra suppressant seal on her. Unable to move or fight back, she did the only thing she could. "NARUTO!" She screamed, hoping he would hear her. A quick chop to the back of her neck, and she slid into unconsciousness. Her final thought was not of surprise, nor of concern for herself. It was of anger. 'I'm going to KILL Suigetsu for this. Bastard should have sensed them.'

Naruto's eyes opened in a flash. Fu screaming his name echoed in his mind. Somehow he just knew that she was in trouble. Quickly springing up, he ran over to Suigetsu. "Suigetsu! Find Fu! Now!" He ordered. "Uh, alright." He mumbled. "She's near the lake to the West. CRAP! She isn't alone." Naruto immediately bolted of for the lake, subconsciously channeling Kyuubi's chakra to his leg to speed up. "NO! I refuse to loss her to the System!" He growled. Leaping forward, Naruto pulled out his Devils Blades. As he ran, the chakra of the Kyuubi began to leak off of his body, and wrapped around his weapons. The serrated spikes lengthened, becoming sharper and turning a blood red color. They looked almost like thorns. Naruto soon speed forward, through a wall of leaves, and into a clearing.

Instantly spotting the three Taki ninja, Naruto growled in rage as he noticed Fu slung over one of the ninja's shoulders. The three ninja heard him, and turned around to confront him. Naruto sprang forward toward Fu, his Devil's Blades gleaming in the sunlight. The first Taki ninja jumped in his way, and blocked his blades with two kunai. "Hn, you aren't getting in our way kid!" The female spoke. Naruto just growled, pushing his blades forward. The demonically enhanced blades slid through the kunai, and continued forward toward the woman's throat. She tried to lean back to doge, but the serrated edge found its mark. They tore through her windpipe, blood squirting out from the open wound. Spinning around her as she fell, Naruto rushed the second shinobi. Said shinobi pulled out a sword, and while channeling wind chakra, slashed at Naruto. Naruto jumped back to dodge it, but still received a long cut across his chest.

Naruto grunted in pain. The cut wasn't deep, but it still hurt. 'I have to end this quickly, before they try to use Fu against me.' Naruto slinked down through the ground, and speed forward. He stopped underneath the second shinobi. Grabbing the ninja's legs, Naruto yanked him underground. "Free Merger Sinking!" He muttered, naming the jutsu he just created. Leaving the trapped enemy to suffocate, Naruto rose from the ground and charged the final Taki ninja. Said ninja dropped Fu to the ground and started hand seals for a water jutsu. "Too slow!" Naruto shouted, driving his clawed hand forward into the man. His hand merged into the front of the Man's chest, and then erupted out of his back. In Naruto's hand was part of the man's spine. "Bloody Merger Fist." Naruto whispered just loud enough for the man to hear him. "Not bad kid." The man slowly muttered before his eyes closed for the last time. Naruto slowly removed his arm from the ninja's chest, letting the body drop to the ground. Naruto glared at the dead ninja, then he turned to the unconscious Fu. "Don't worry." He whispered. "I wont let them take you back." As if she heard him, she started to smile. Naruto cut her bindings, and removed the suppressant seal, before carrying her back to their temporary base.

Fu woke up on their way back. At first she was spastic, but she soon calmed down when she heard Naruto's voice. "Hey, take it easy Fu-chan. It's okay! I got you." He told her. "Naruto-kun?" She said confused. Setting her down carefully, Naruto waited patiently as Fu got her bearings. They were just a little ways from the cave where the others were waiting. "Hey! You okay?" He asked. Surprised, Fu jumped back suddenly. She quickly turned around, and seeing Naruto, quickly tackled him in a hug. "Naruto-kun!" She said, crying into his shoulder. "I was scared. I don't want to go back there." "You will never have to go. I promise!" Fu smiled, then, daringly, leaned up and gave Naruto a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you." She whispered, leaning into his chest. Naruto just wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly. They stayed there for a while longer, before heading back into the cave.

Suigetsu looked up from where he sat, his hand still in a small puddle of water. "I see you two got together, eh? Real touching display too! I saw all of it through the water." He laughed. His laughter met a quick end however as Fu seemed to teleport over to him and smashed her chakra enhanced fist into his face. He was sent flying into the cave wall, where he splattered into water. "Hey you bitch, that actually hurt!" He raged. "Good!" She screamed. "You deserve it for letting those ninja get me! You should have sensed them!" "Hey! Give me a break! I just got the damn power. It's going to take a while before I can actually control it!" Suigetsu growled. Sighing, Naruto decided it was time to stop them. "Stop! Both of you! We can decide whose fault is what late, when we're safe. Right now, there is no telling how many other ninja's are around. Since we already cleaned up camp, lets get a move on. We're heading east, towards Lightning Country." He said. "Lightning? What's in Lightning Country?" Ami asked. "A safe place to hide and train."


"Ugh, It's so dry here!" Suigetsu muttered, sipping some water from a bottle. "Quit complaining, you've already drank half of the bottles of water we had since we've entered the mountain range! You're just going to have to deal with it." Ami yelled! "Hey it's not my fault! For some reason I just keep getting thirsty. Ugh, and a headache!" He murmured. "It's probably your body trying to balance out the normal water and the sacred water in your body." Naruto explained. "At the next village, we'll stock up on water. Also, I will see if I can get you a scroll with a few dozen water bottles sealed inside so you can have your own personal stock." "Sweet, thanks man!" Suigetsu actually yelled. "Hold it! We can't just go buying everything so quickly! We only have a few yen left!" Ami screamed. Naruto just laughed. "Who said anything about buying?" He asked. "HUH?" came Ami's reply. "Remember, we're all already wanted by someone. Well, except you. We don't need to buy, we can steal." Naruto said happily. "You're looking forward to stealing stuff, aren't you?" Fu muttered. "Yup!" Naruto chirped. "Just don't get caught." Suigetsu told him. "Yeah, yeah, I know. The same goes for you too." Naruto replied waving away the groups worry with his hands. "Alright, once we get to the town, I'm going after basic weapon supplies, as well as some sealing scrolls. Suigetsu, you go after food and water supplies. Ami you get any and all medical supplies you can get. Fu, that leaves you with getting us some money, so we can get the items that we can't steal. Okay." "Alright." The others said, all nodding. "The lets go. The next village is just across this valley. You see it? It is over there." Naruto said pointing.

The village was a minor one. Its main use was as a resupply station for returning ninjas and weary travelers. It was a large square divided down the middle by a large river that flowed down from the mountain behind it. Two large bridges provided a way to cross. On one side was the market sector, full of shops differing from food stores and clothes stores, all the way to ninja weapon shops, and a ninja library. The library itself was pretty small, possible just containing small area map of the nearby surroundings as well as low-rank jutsu, most likely medical or survival types. On the other side was the residential. Houses of the shopkeepers, and small inns and hotels doted the road. "Alright, we're revising the plan." Naruto called. "What? Why?" Fu asked. "First, we are getting a hotel room for tonight with the last of our current money. A nice shower would do wonders I think. Second, we need to choose our targets carefully, and make sure there aren't any ninja around." Naruto said. "Yes, a hot shower! Finally!" Surprisingly Suigetsu yelled. Fu and Naruto just stared while Ami face palmed herself.

Suigetsu let out a sigh as he sat down in the local spa's wearing only a towel. After his shower, he still felt like relaxing, and this was one of the few places he could. Looking around, he noticed that the place was empty besides himself. "Huh? Where is everyone?" He asked. Suddenly, a hand broke though the wall behind him and delivered a quick chop to his neck. Instead of being knocked out however, he dissolved into water. On the other side of the spa, Suigetsu emerged, quickly looking around. "Wha- Who's there?" A familiar voice called. A VERY familiar voice! Turning around, he saw a VERY angry, and a VERY naked Ami. "You Pervert!" She screamed, attempting to deck him. Suigetsu caught her arm and put his hand against her mouth. "Quite! Someone's after us." He whispered. Ami's eyes widened in surprise. "Come on. We are going back to Naruto." Suigetsu muttered, getting out and tossing her clothes to her. She quickly got dressed, and followed him out.

Ami glared at Suigetsu as he opened the door to the group's apartment. Once they had reached the relative safety of their floor, she stopped being so antsy about a possible attack, and realized that the man she had a crush on just saw her naked. She didn't know weather to be embarrassed, ashamed, or angry. She eventually settled on angry, very angry. "Pervert!" She muttered loud enough for him to her. "Hey, I told you, I was attacked. I only switched to your side by necessity." He growled, sitting down on the couch. "I didn't do it to peek on you." "You went and peeked on her, Suigetsu? You just couldn't wait to see her naked I bet. I knew you liked her." Another voice said. They looked back to see Naruto coming out of one of the rooms. " First off, you're one to talk. Isn't that Fu's room? Second, I was attacked by another shinobi. I only switched sides in order to escape." Naruto, suddenly, was serious. "Fu's my girlfriend, so it doesn't matter. Also we're sharing the room. Ami gets the other, and you get the couch. Second, what do you mean you were attacked? By who?" "If I knew, I would of told you. All I know is that they were good. Almost got me, but they touched the water first. I was able to sense them and escape, but just barely." He muttered.

"Hmmm, did you see any clothes on him before you escaped? Maybe some color?" Naruto asked. "Yeah, a black glove and a green sleeve. That was all I saw." Suigetsu said. Naruto growled. "Konoha most likely. But not any normal Konoha ninja, that's for sure. Most would have gone after just me, not you. So that must mean that there is another power player in Konoha. But who?" He wondered. In another building, five ninja met up in secrecy. "Target number two was able to escape me. He has already met up with target number one. They will be expecting us." One ninja said. "Alright, we will lay low for a while. They will soon leave the village and head into the mountains for safety. We will ambush them then." Another ninja said. "All right, that is agreeable. I shall pass the message to Danzo-sama. Just do not fail this mission. Both the Forbidden Scroll and the remains of the Sacred Water are need if we wish to help Danzo take over the Leaf." The other ninja all nodded, before they separated, leaving no trace that they were ever there.


Sorry for the shortness. I'm having trouble writing what comes next, but I have must of this story planned out. So don't worry, it will be finished. If ANYONE knows a good beta reader, please tell me. Till then, TRK99 out!
