"Orochimaru-sama, I've received word that the Flash Master was in Konoha and has rejected their alliance. Apparently the head of the Haruno clan said a few words to anger the apparent leader of Nadeshiko. That adds Nadeshiko and Kiri to our list of neutral countries in this war. It's a good thing too because I heard he was the one to kill the Yondaime Hokage of Kiri with ease. I wonder why he would lead a place of civilian women but then again he would be able to have all the women please him at anytime." A sly grin came across Kabuto's face at the thought of an entire village of women pleasing one man. Any man would have dreamed to have such an advantage especially him. It would even be better if all the women were strong fighters as well. Orochimaru rolled his eyes at the perverted thoughts Kabuto was thinking. Despite how much he displays himself as a good, loyal servant to him he knew Kabuto was more than that. He also knew that Kabuto made sexual advances on a few of his experiments being the rejects so he didn't interfere with his work.

"It doesn't matter Kabuto-san, he's no longer a threat to us at all. In the meantime, I want you to gather a few women for Sasuke-kun to impregnate soon. Once he has passed on his sperm to at least 20 women minimum, I will take over his body and crush Konoha to dust. The children will be raised to be strong vessels for me to transfer to in the future. The will have them produce with one another to strengthen the bloodline allowing me to gain more power than ever. I will be able to keep the sharingan for many years to come. Try to find any females with a body or chakra based kekkei genkai. Anyone with a doujutsu won't work well with the sharingan at all. I discovered this after many attempts in merging two different doujutsu but it isn't possible. The dominant bloodline of the wielders will emerge rather than merge." Orochimaru was a bit pissed when he found out how much time he wasted to learn that.

"Well at least you found out plus we do have a few women that fit the description Orochimaru-sama. Guren, Kagero, Karin, and Kotohime are a few I could think of that have great powers that would help produce great Uchiha members for Oto. A few others could be from your rogue experiments that you locked away. They will be able to help create strong bodies for you Orochimaru-sama." Orochimaru allowed a smile on his face at the possibilities of stronger bodies for personal usage. He could already imagine the limitless possibilities already.

"Very well you may start with them then search for a few others later. I'm sure Konoha won't stay idle as I make a few preparations to take Sasuke-kun's body. I doubt Itachi would allow something like that despite killing off his clan. Itachi was such a selfish brat when it came to his eyes. He tried to kill me when I wanted to borrow his eyes for a brief moment." Orochimaru pouted like a child while Kabuto sweat dropped at his master's behavior. Despite being a cruel sanin, Orochimaru had his moments that make Kabuto question his master's sanity if it's even there at all.

"I will make sure Itachi doesn't interfere with the process Orochimaru-sama when the time comes around. Now what about the moving process Orochimaru-sama?"

"Oh yes I almost forgot about that. I want you to move everything to our new base giving us more time. We'll use Sasuke's scent to guide them away from us and to another village. The Bikochu beetle you mentioned will be able to find Sasuke no matter what we do. All we could do right now is to lead them on a wild goose chase. While their following that little annoying insect, we'll be making our next few moves. By the time they reach here, it'll be too late for them to stop me kukukukuku." Kabuto allowed a smile to grace his lips. Being around Orochimaru was too much fun when he was on his good side as always. Orochimaru stopped his laughing when he remembered something. "How is your project concerning Naruto-kun's mother Kushina Uzumaki Kabuto-san? What were the results of your research?"

Kabuto pushed his glasses upwards as he thought over his details he recorded. "Kushina has shown stability plus her body was able to adapt to Hashirama's DNA. She now has the mokuton kekkei genkai flowing in her body now sir. Once I'm done with her, she'll be up and fighting by the end of this week sir. The only problem is that we won't be able to brainwash her sir due to the seals she placed on her body. We could however allow her to see how horrible her son's life was in Konoha turning her against the village. She will either be on our side or neutral so we gain something good or nothing at all. We won't gain any more enemies to worry about. There is also the fact that we could use her to eliminate Akatsuki once they find Naruto's location. I'm sure she wouldn't want her child to die by their hands. It also helps that Akatsuki was the reason she lost her husband and almost her son as well. She'll hunt them down plus find her son which no one was able to do lately." Orochimaru allowed the information to sink in his mind.

"That does sound promising Kabuto-san. Let me see what she looks like now as well as any latest details about her. On the way there I want you to select the women you have in store for Sasuke-kun though I wonder why you didn't have Kushina carry an Uchiha child." Kabuto shrugged his shoulders.

"I figured that would be the last thing we'd want to do when it could add another enemy for us. By healing her back to 100%, we'll be gaining her trust plus a possible favor. I'm sure she'll be able to kill Itachi for us and removed his eyes for you to incorporate in one of your future temporary bodies as the Uchiha children grow. You will need a few of those bodies until you're vessels reach a certain age for you to fight in."

"I guess that makes sense Kabuto-san plus she will be able to kill a few Akatsuki members alone. If she reunites with Naruto-kun then Akatsuki will gain a power enemy. I doubt Naruto-kun allowed his skills to diminish anyway." Orochimaru and Kabuto made their way towards the lab's bottom floor passing the most dangerous experiments. They continued their way until they found themselves in a large room with a glass tank in the center of the room. Inside the glass tank was the former jinchuriki of the Kyuubi, ex-wife to Minato Namikaze, and mother to Naruto Uzumaki, Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze in all her glory. Kabuto wiped away his nose bleed when he saw her body. She had a body that rivaled Tsunade in her prime age and long red hair that now reached her feet. Next to the machine were monitors showing her constant pulse indicating that she was still alive.

"So this is Red death?" Orochimaru scanned her body with keen eyes. "The only person capable of matching Tsunade's own strength and Medic skills right in front of us is nothing short of amazement." Once he was done being amazed, he along with Kabuto began their moving. He sent out a few Nins to spread false trails and scents of Sasuke to throw Konoha Nins off. This would keep them busy for a while until he was finished transferring his body. Orochimaru walked out his base when he was sure he had given out jobs to everyone here. His men would move everything out of the base with him. He summoned his fastest traveling summons to carry Sasuke, himself, and Kabuto to their new location.

Their journey to their new destination took about 6 hour's total. Orochimaru allowed his snake to return before heading to his base in Oto. In Oto he would be able to secure the Uchiha more without interference from anyone else. The lab transfer should take no more than 3 days but for now he needed to ensure future Uchiha children. "Kabuto would you be a dear in introducing Sasuke-kun to the subjects that will help him revive his clan." Kabuto nods his head then led the Uchiha to where he would begin his process. Sasuke allowed Kabuto to lead him away not caring about the fact that he would be building his clan right now. It was part of his dream after all plus he would be getting a chance to kill Itachi soon or so he thought. Orochimaru watched Sasuke leave with a cruel smile on his face.

"Soon Sasuke-kun, you're body will be mine kukukuk."

Nadeshiko

Naruto, Shizuka, and Tokiwa were found relaxing in their personal hot spa room. They had just informed all his Nins about their decisions as well as why that decision was made. Upon hearing an honorable council member make such a declaration against them made them angry. They all agreed to destroy any Konoha Nin that made any moves against them such as kidnapping one of their own. To ensure Konoha didn't manage to sneak in the village, Naruto placed more seals further away from the village extending their sensory reach up to 10 more miles than it originally was. They would be able to know when anyone came within 50 miles of water countries borders. The way they created their sensor base was that anyone not associated with Nadeshiko would appear on their radar as red dots for enemies and green for allies. Anyone associated with Nadeshiko would appear on radar as blue dots allowing the residents to distinguish one another easily. No one knew about Nadeshiko's sensor abilities nor would they since it was well guarded secret.

Naruto sank in the boiling water more allowing his body to become more submerged in the water. It was moments like this he enjoyed the most. "I hope you do realize that a few people in Konoha will make a few moves against us. I know for a fact that they'll send a Nin with no identification or any association with Konoha over here. When we do discover that person, they will just disclaim any association with that person." Naruto glanced at Tokiwa with a knowing look.

"Yeah I know they'll do that and I already know who will most likely be over here. Danzo has a group of anbu elites under his thumb known as ROOT. ROOT was supposed to be disbanded for inhuman practices but the old war hawk secretly kept them. I encountered a few Nins here and there but they were never after me at the time. I saw them traveling to other places and they're just like anbu except they never reveal information. They usually kill themselves with the hidden poison in their mouth or the seal on their tongues kill them along with destroying any knowledge they contain. I'm betting that the elder advisors know about them so it's safe to assume their working together on any operations. They won't be able to sneak in without us knowing unless they could mask not only their chakra but their body heat, heart pulse, and anything else that indicates that their still alive." Shizuka and Tokiwa were impressed about the sensory functions. They knew it was advanced but they never knew what it was truly capable of.

"It won't stop them from trying to sneak in the country Naruto-kun. They don't know what we're capable of after all."

"I know that much Shizuka-chan but this will be a good thing for us. I'll catch one of their operatives and extract any information on ROOT. I'll send him back with explosives strapped to him which will detonate once he reaches his master. I know it won't kill Danzo or the elders but it might kill a few others and send a message to those old geezers. They'll be cautious about sending anymore Nins especially when the explosion could possibly alert the Hokage about the hidden base unless it's located in the forest of death or somewhere underground. If that's the case then they'll try to be more discrete about sending their Nins off again. It's nothing to worry about though, I'm all over it." The two relaxed after hearing him say this. They soon went back to relaxing a little.

They of course never really got the chance to enjoy their relaxation when a few Nins entered the room with panic on their faces. "Naruto-sama I'm very sorry to interrupt your relaxation but we have an emergency at hand. Iwa and Kumo Nins are attacking our allies in Hot spring country and have asked us for help. Not only that but they took that as a sign of war and has declared war on Kumo and Iwa. If they did nothing then Iwa and Kumo will take this as a sign of weakness." So much for peace but then again he knew peace wouldn't last forever anyways.

"Don't worry about the groups Lily. I will personally deal with these Nins plus escort them back home. I think Iwa and Kumo have been getting arrogant over the years believing they can't be touched but that will change soon. Would you mind grabbing my special uniform Lily-san, thank you?" Lily ran towards the display where he kept his special suit he wore when he received the name Flash Master. She came back with black skin tight uniform and light black combat shoes. In her other hand was a black full blank mask that covered his entire head. This allowed him to move without restrictions plus keep his identity a complete secret. He got dressed in his uniform then took a look at his appearance. "I'll be back ladies." He vanished in the blink of an eye to his destination being Hot Spring country.

The Kiri Nins cursed when they were forced to dodge more earth and lightning jutsu. While they were able to fight against Iwa Nins evenly, the Kumo Nins and their Lightning based attack made things harder for them. Despite having control over water, it wouldn't do well to be struck by lightning when wet. A few Kumo Nins went through a few hand seals creating water dragons to wet the area. The kiri Nins quickly got rid of the water to avoid devastating attacks. Some used the water to strike Iwa Nins forcing the Kumo Nins to be careful when using lightning based attacks.

Gatsuga

The Kiri Nins looked over to find Konoha Nins battling their way to a group of Kumo Nins that had a Hyuga member if her eyes were to go by. An Iwa Nin created a large wall allowing Kiba to destroy that instead of his ally. The Kumo Nin holding Hinata glanced back to find his men holding the girl's team members off. He increased his pace to Hot spring country's docks and hopped on board. The ship slowly took off to Kumo where Hinata would be used as a breeding whore. Kumo would finally be able to get a Hyuga clan in Kumo like they wanted to. Their plan went just as planned so far. They had someone from water mission request team 8 to track down someone that knew about Iwa inside and out. Information like that would help them win the war easier especially when they could sneak in Iwa and destroy said village. Kumo told Iwa of their plan then made a deal that would get both villages a Hyuga clan. As for attacking Kiri, they wanted to make sure Kiri stayed out the war knowing how Konoha would request them. They thought that through fear, they would stay out of the war. To ensure Kiri stayed out the war, they would have created bases around the sea to ensure Kiri was blocked off completely.

Kiba continued attacking with Akamaru by his side. His sister figure was being taken away to Kumo where she would be raped and here and his attempts seemed futile. "HINATA" He called out her name as he continued his assault on the Iwa Nins blocking him from reaching her. Kurenai tried casting a few genjutsu but their allies broke them out of the genjutsu easily. Shino tried sending his allies over to stop him but that attempt was shot down after what happened next.

Raiton: Lightning discharge

Lightning shot from the fingers of a Kumo Nin towards the beetles. As soon as they came into contact with a few of them, lightning surged through their bodies bouncing from one bug to another. Each bug dropped to the ground dead. Kiba watched as the ship sailed further away from them. Tears streamed down his face as he continued attacking the Nins. He wouldn't stop until they were all dead. He would get Hinata back no matter what. An Iwa Nin saw Kiba's attention focused on the others in front of him saw this as a perfect opportunity. He went through a few hand seals that would hopefully kill the Konoha chunin.

"KIBA WATCH OUT" Everything slowed down for Kiba when he heard this. He turned around to find a large jagged rock hurling towards him at top speeds. His body froze not allowing him to move from the dangerous attack. The pain never registered when the rock punctured his chest killing him instantly. Kurenai watched in horror as her student's body went limp. The jagged rock kept him up when his went through him and stuck to the ground. She found her legs carrying her over to her student. She didn't even care about anyone around her right now but rather her student. Tears streamed down her eyes at the thought of a student dying under her and most importantly losing another student. Just as she reached half way to Kiba, his body exploded leaving behind smoke. Kurenai stopped when she wondered when Kiba learned shadow clones. She turned to the sound of blade slicing skin to find the Iwa Nin and his severed head falling to the ground. Right behind him was the man she easily identified as Flash Master. She sighed in relief when she noticed Kiba in his arms alive.

Kiba allowed a sigh of relief to escape his lips but froze when his nose picked up on a familiar scent he easily recognized from 3 years ago. There was no mistaking the scent but something was off about him. There was a lack of scent that he was used to. Where the fox scent was that stayed on him every day of his life? It was the same scent that marked him as Kyuubi no Kitsune. His mother told him about Kyuubi taking on a human form ever since the law revolving around Naruto was revoked allowing everyone to know about Kyuubi's fate. Right now he didn't smell that at all which was really confusing.

"Say hello to Kyuubi no Kitsune guys." Kiba was able to hear his words loud and clear but what did he mean? Killing intent beyond what anyone has felt spiked in the distance. His nose picked up on the familiar scent he was used to smelling on Naruto but it wasn't right next to him. Naruto dropped Kiba on the ground allowing him to turn around just in time to see the nine tailed fox attacking Kumo and Iwa instead of them. The Kumo and Iwa Nins turned their attention towards the large fox and attacked together. Kyuubi slammed his tail to shatter any earth jutsu but the armor around the fox absorbed the attacks. Kyuubi pierced them with his tails ripping their bodies into pieces. Kiba turned to the spot Naruto was in when his scent went away. He turned back to see him on Kyuubi's head using wind and fire combination jutsus against Kumo and Iwa Nins.

In less than 20 minutes after entering the battle, all the Kumo and Iwa Nins were dead. The Kiri Nins all climbed on Kyuubi before taking off across the ocean with Kyuubi utilizing water walking exercise. Kurenai walked up to Kiba and hugged her student. She saw each student as family members to her. "Thanks to Flash Master we'll have a fighting chance to get Hinata back before she reaches Kumo." The revelation about Naruto being Flash Master was shocking.

"How the hell did the class dead last get a reputation like that?" Kurenai looked at Kiba in confusion. No one knew who the flash master was so why would Kiba call him a dead last.

"Kiba what are you talking about? No one knows who the Flash Master is or where he came from." Shino on the other hand narrowed his eyes when he thought about what Kiba said. The only person with the title dead last was Naruto Uzumaki who fell off the face of the earth.

"What do you mean sensei? I know for a fact that was Naruto based on his scent. I remembered Naruto's scent off the back of my hand. For some reason I wasn't able to smell him from a distance almost as if he's somehow hiding his scent but when you're up close to him, I was able to pick up his scent. Flash master is Naruto and I even have Akamaru to prove it too. I'll get Kaachan to small my clothes when we get back. She'll confirm this to everyone." Kiba soon realized something. "Wait I thought Kyuubi was Naruto in human form." Shino shook his head at the notion of his teammate being a large fox stuffed in human skin.

"No Kiba you're mother was clouded by anger for the loss of her husband to see Naruto for what he truly is. I'm sure seeing the Kyuubi and Naruto side by side will clear up some things for you Kiba-san. Maybe your story and his sent will be able to clarify a few things for the people in Konoha. Does Naruto's scent contain anything fox related other than the whiskers?" Kiba shook her head after confirming it. "This will help show the council members on the shinobi side that Naruto and the fox were separate entities after all. Now I believe we should-" Several Konoha anbu appeared at the scene all geared up for battle.

"I was sent here by Hokage-sama to order any remaining Konoha Nins to return immediately. There have been several incidents with Kumo and Iwa Nins attacking any Konoha Nins outside of the village. 30 of our Nins were killed in the attacks and we can't take any more chance. Failure to do so will result in severe punishment. Where is Hinata Hyuga Kurenai-san?"

"She was taken by Kumo Nins. This mission was a set up created by Kumo and Iwa. Right now she's on a ship in route to Kumo." The anbu stayed silent for a few minutes.

"Very well we will retrieve her from one of the Islands later. We received word about Kyuubi attacking several ships belonging to Kumo and raiding their ships. They mentioned Kiri Nins of their back as well as Flash Master. Hopefully they will take the Hyuga girl as well. They'll no doubt send her to Konoha for a fee just as they did with the sword belonging to our Nidaime Hokage Tobirama Senju. If not then she'll end up on one of the small islands. Their attack here will trigger a war with Kiri and Nadeshiko which the Flash Master is the leader of." Kiba whistled in amazement.

"Naruto sure has been busy lately." The anbu turned to Kiba wondering what he was talking about. Kiba felt eyes on him and knew he was confused as well. "Naruto is the Flash Master and he somehow has Kyuubi fighting for him. Kyuubi killed those Kumo and Iwa Nins with ease. He even gave the fox protection against Kumo's attacks. He saved me from being killed by an Iwa Nin. I was able to pick his scent up and I easily recognize his scent anywhere." The anbu placed that in the back of his mind. He would tell his fellow anbu about the large discovery. To think the Flash Master was none other than Konoha's ex-nin showed how much potential they allowed to slip through their fingers. At least they knew where Naruto was now.

"We need to get to Konoha immediately plus I'm sure the council members would like to hear about this new information." Team 8 followed the anbu back to Konoha. Each member glanced at the sea while hoping Naruto saved Hinata from a horrible fate.

Suiton: Demon's mouth

Large whirlpools quickly formed sucking up any Kumo Nins floating on water or swimming. Kyuubi maneuvered around the whirlpool with a large smile on his face at the thought of killing many Nins. He enjoyed every second of freedom his ally Naruto helped him achieve. After 15 years of imprisonment, he was completely free and it was all thanks to Naruto. The kit had grown to a level even his father wasn't capable of. He was the first human to defeat him utterly in battle. The other humans two was Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha only suppressed or hypnotized him knowing they would lose in the long run. Naruto on the other hand fought him until he was unable to continue fighting. Not once did he suppress his chakra or anything to hinder him. He used powerful attacks and avoided his own tailed beast ball.

When the match was over, Kyuubi was expecting some sort of imprisonment but instead he received a deal to become equals and his family's personal summons. At first he told the blonde no. Naruto shrugged it off as if it wasn't a big deal. Kyuubi walked away a good distance to see if the kit would chase him down but that wasn't the case. He kept an eye on him for a month but nothing happened. Kyuubi confront him again and questioned him. Not once did Naruto lie to him about his intentions towards Kyuubi. He simply stated that it would be cool to have the strongest tailed beast protecting his future family like he once protected Uzushiogakure. Kyuubi thought about it for a while then agreed. He remained hidden from everyone except Naruto. He would take on the form of a small fox the size of an ordinary fox. This allowed him to enter the hidden chambers where he spent most of his time.

Kyuubi glanced up to see Naruto drowning Kumo Nins left and right. He couldn't contain the pride he felt towards the teen in front of him. He respected Naruto though he wouldn't admit it. 'You've come a long way kit.'

"Alright guys I see one more ship ahead and they seem to have a hostage as well. It looks like that shy Hyuga from Konoha. I do believe Kumo hasn't given up on gaining the Byakugan. Maybe an ultimate plan is required right Naruto-kun." Naruto thought over what Kyuubi said.

"I guess a prank will do. Take the Kiri Nins back to their village. I'll deal with these Nins plus give them a prank they'll never forget." A mischievous grin appeared on his face. Kyuubi turned away from the ship allowing Naruto to deal with the Kumo Nins on his own.
