A fair notice. Naruto will be really OP in this story. I just have a soft spot for really strong characters.

Chapter 2: Team 26

(7 Years Later; Graduation Day)

Today marked one of the happiest days of Naruto's life. To this day, he was going to become an official shinobi. A genin yes, but a shinobi still. And just because he was a genin in rank, that mean nothing with his strength. Ever since the first day of class, Naruto had made more friends than he could've dreamed. His closest were obviously Yugito and Fu, his fellow jinchuriki. Throughout the academy years, they excelled through their classes and labeled as prodigies among Kumo, and people would often give him praise as he went by. Naruto however would not become bloated from all of the cheer because no matter how many times people called him a prodigy, the reason of his strength came from literal blood, sweat, and tears. He didn't stop with the academy and often trained by himself by going through physical and chakra exercises joined by Fu and Yugito. The daily workout consisted of hours of physical exercises a civilian wouldn't even dream of doing. Their chakra exercises however were on a whole different level. Thanks to their naturally large reserves of being jinchuriki, the trio could use kage bushin without negative effects and manage to pop out hundreds each without a sweat. With the memory and experience transfer, their growth was phenomenal.

It only got better when in their last years that they discovered their affinities. For Naruto, he had only one affinity of wind that was shockingly on par with the Nidaime Hokage's water affinity. Yugito turned out to have unusually strong and balanced affinities for lightning and fire. Fuu had a superior lightning affinity but her water affinity was quite close and had a very minor wind affinity.

From then on, they used the shadow clones to mostly hone their elemental affinities and taijutsu techniques. Naruto shared with the them some of his parents' techniques, notably his father's rasengan. They were a bit sheepish since it was said that the Yondaime's signature jutsu took three years to master. However, they wished they could gloat at the late kage when they used shadow clones to speed up the process to a very small percentage of that time.

After Naruto's estate was built, the jinchuriki decided to live together and the blonde couldn't think of anyone else in his home. The two girls were the best he could ask Kami for as his eternal companions. As the morning sun rose, the trio quickly got dressed and left for the academy. Walking in the streets, they were definitely an intimidating sight even if they were young.

Fu had grown to be 5'2 with her green hair kept at neck length. She didn't change her preference for white, but now had a significantly longer white skirt and had mesh shirt under her white top. Two straps made an X across her torso to hold a holster to her back carrying a pair of swords. Not just any swords truth be told but the Kiba Blades themselves; a gift from Ay when he, as he quote, ran into a lost Kiri ninja on his own musings outside of the village. She wore her Kumo headband around her, and holster was a circular disc with the kanji for seven.

Yugito looked like she was already a woman except for the proper height and age. She was slightly taller than Fu, standing at about 5'3. Her face was more lean to further show herself as more catlike, and her ponytail braid had grown passed her shoulder blades. She wore grey ANBU-style shirt with long sleeves with a chest plate, and had tight black pants. Her hair was prevented from going over her forehead by her Kumo headband. Around her waist was a silver buckle with the kanji for two.

Naruto literally sprouted once he got a proper diet and now stood at 5'6. His love of orange took him so far but he was able to get a dark blue trench coat that he left open with orange flame pattern at the bottom. He wore white shirt with black stripes on each side and dark grey shinobi pants. The inside of his trench coat was lined with storage steels, and on his back was an orange and black staff for his bojutsu. He proudly displayed his Kumo headband on his forehead. The back of his coat had the head of a fox with nine tails swirling around him to create the Uzumaki swirl over the kanji for nine.

A little later they arrived at the class they have been attending for the past seven years. They gazed over most of the faces only lingering on a certain trio with a smile. One of them was Yugito's best friend Samui with the same pale skin, blue eyes, and even blonde hair that reaches below her neck. However, the differences stop when it comes to her chest size that for a thirteen year old promises that she will have a beauty to rival Tsunade. She wears a grey low outfit with a skirt that covers her mesh shirt and she wears two red arm guards. Her Kumo headband was tied around her right forearm.

The next was a dark skinned boy with white spiky hair and dark eyes. His Kumo headband was tied to his forehead, and he wore a grey hoodie and red shin guards. Currently, he was rolling a lollipop in his tongue as always. This boy was Omoi, and the first thing that Naruto knew about him was that he had a wild imagination.

The last was Karui, a dark-skinned girl with spiky red hair. At first when Naruto learned that Uzumakis normally had red hair, he was ecstatic thinking she was an Uzumaki. Even though he was shot down that the truth she wasn't, Karui became a good friend to the blonde despite her attitude that matched her hair and soon the six youngsters did everything together at the academy. Karui wore a standard grey shirt and purple pants, and wears a white beanie for her Kumo headband.

"Whiskers, you finally made it." Karui greeted.

"Nice to see you too, Karui-chan." Naruto replied back.

"Karui was betting you slept in again." Samui said.

"You know that's not true, Samui-chan." Yugito said, "Us blondes have to graduate or we don't at all."

"Damn right." Samui said with a smirk.

"But still what if something happened to you?" Omoi began ranting with his wild imagination, "At home, you could've slept through the whole day because you were training late. Or maybe you weren't sleeping but missing instead. What if enemy ninja infiltrated the village? What if they were Iwa shinobi trying to kill you or Konoha nin trying to take you back by force? What if there's a-"

BAM!

"Calm down and shut up, baka." Karui snapped after smashing her fist down on Omoi's head, living a big red mark.

"Dude, you've gotta cut loose, or else you gonna lose the goose." Fu rapped.

Yugito face faulted. "Dammit, Fu-chan, you were doing so well this morning."

Fu smiled and faced her fellow jinchuriki. "You can't stop the rap, it's in my blood flowing like a tap."

Naruto sighed. "C'mon, let's get into our seats before Crabapples gets here."

The trio sat a row above Omoi, Karui, and Samui were seated. The jinchuriki always sat in the same order since the begining: Naruto in the middle with Fu at his right and Yugito on his left. Their teacher, the same woman with the spectacles, entered the room. Naruto tuned out once she started off with a long speech of congratulations.

(A few minutes)

Naruto tuned in just in time to hear the last of the team names.

"...Team 15 will be Karui Dai, Omoi Kon, and Samui Akiri and their sensei will be jonin Darui." the teacher announced, and the said trio left the room but not before waving back to the jinchuriki, "Lastly, Team 26 will be Naruto Uzumaki, Yugito Nii, and Fu Yotsuki and their jonin sensei will be Killer B."

The jinchuriki didn't even move before something busted through the wall and rolled in front of the class. B hadn't really changed much, but Fuu would sometimes tease her father that he was getting a bit wider than he should be. Right now, the jinchuriki were practically gluing smiles on their faces.

"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee," B rapped, "I'm your sensei Killer B, Eight-o's jinchuriki, yeah~. Meet me on the roof so we can cut loose."

After his rap, Gyuuki's jinchuriki disappeared in a lightning body flicker, followed by his new students with shit-eating grins. All jinchuriki stood on the roof with B looking down at them with a smile.

"Let's cut to the chase, so tell me about yourselves to start a base." B gave his first order.

The genin decided to play along with Fu starting off first.

"My name is Fu Yotsuki, the Lucky Seven jinchuriki." Fu said in a suppressed beat, "My awesome rhymes and mighty wings will put you on a ride. My rapping is life, but I also like bugs, flying around, talking to Chomei, and I love my friends and I have an awesome dad. Don't make me mad if you insult my friends, my home, or my clan. One day, I'll make everyone know that rap is life and is the same love I have for everyone. Maybe make a family who has my eyes solely."

Naruto gave a thumbs-up for the performance. Yugito sighed but with an agreeing smile on her face. B however was moved to tears seeing such love of rapping expressed with such pride.

Yugito went next. "My name is Yugito Nii. My hobbies practicing with lightning and fire, hanging out with my best friends, and training with Naruto-kun and Fu-chan. I like cats, my friend Matatabi, my fellow jinchuriki, tuna, sushi, crustacean, and climbing the mountains. I hate fangirls, traitors, arrogant nobles, perverts, dogs, rapping, and being woken up too early. My dream is to help bring peace to the nations and become Kumo's strongest kunoichi... and be with a certain someone."

Finally, Naruto went up. "Yo, I'm Naruto Uzumaki. I like ramen, training, pulling pranks, and Fu-chan and Yugito-chan. My hobbies are talking with a certain furball, tasting ramen, studying fuinjutsu, practicing bojutsu, and finding my lost Uzumaki family. I hate traitors, war hawks, arrogant pricks, Konoha, the time it takes to wait for ramen, snakes, anyone who hurts my precious people, and war. My dream is to end the cycle of hate and bring peace to the lands."

Fu and Yugito had a bit of pink dusting their cheeks that Naruto admitted to liking them. For a while, they had a crush on the blonde, but kept themselves as close as best friends, but they knew soon they would have to act on those feelings.

"That was cool, real smooth, yo." B concluded, "Really I want to go on the big road, but the big man in the hat wants to go real low. Bunch of D-Ranks till we're a bunch that's ready."

The trio's mood lowered when they were required to do D-Ranks. D-Ranks were pathetic excuses of missions. They were just chores civilians paid a bit of extra money to let shinobi do.

Suddenly, Naruto's mood brightened up as a lit up a light bulb of an idea. He turned to Yugito and Fu with a face splitting grin as he held a handsign making a plus. The genin caught on, making the same handsigns with grins on their faces.

"Kage Bushin no Jutsu."

The whole block was clouded in smoke. When it cleared, there was an army of the multiplied genin trio ranging in the hundreds. Naruto faced the army of clones and cleared his throat as he focused chakra.

"Listen up." Naruto bellowed, "I want all of you in a regular groups of three, with each Naruto with a Fuu and Yugito. Each team will do a D-Rank mission. Get to it!"

"Hai, Boss/Naruto-kun!"

The army of Fuus, Yugitos, and Narutos took off jumping across the roofs to acquire their missions. B gave them the widest grin he had ever given. He was going to thank Kami for making the four of them a team.

"Naruto, you the man with the plan." B praised, "Well, all we can do is chillax and relax. Later."

B disappeared in a body flicker, leaving the genin to themselves.

"So... how about a meal for ramen at Liu's?" Naruto proposed.

Fu perked up. "Sure, I could use a warm meal."

Yugito shrugged. "I could get a bite to eat."

"You'd eat anywhere when it comes to Naruto, including what's beneath his pants." Matatabi teased.

"NIBI-CHAN!" Yugito mentally screamed mentally while her whole face turned into a rose.

"You better get lucky with Naruto." Chomei commented.

"I will, very soon." Fu promised, a light pink dusting through her tan skin.

"Maybe after some ramen, we could train with our summonings." Naruto suggested.

"Heck yeah." Fu cheered, "I've been wanting to ask the Chameleons if they can take me to the Untamed Jungle. I still want to try and find out about that Sage Mode, yo."

"Woah, woah, let's not get ahead of ourselves." Yugito cautioned, "I remember Logia-sama telling the dangers of Sage Mode and getting nature chakra. I don't want to see one of you turned into a statue."

"We know, Mom." Naruto said, drawing out the last word mockingly to make Yugito scoff with a tick mark.

To explain, a year or two after Naruto made Kumo his home, Ay had given Naruto everything Kumo collected of the Uzumakis. As he was the start of Kumo's new Uzumaki Clan, he deserved them and the smile Naruto made on that day was infectious. Their secrets were for his eyes since they could only be unlocked by those with Uzumaki blood. In this treasure trove, he found taijutsu and bojutsu styles that when he practiced definitely felt natural to him, but the diamond on the crown was the summoning scroll for the Wolf Clan. They were grand masters of the storms that once protected the Uzumaki homeland. But the wolves vastly loyal and friendly beings and he first summoned them he was forced to their home where they cried, cheered, and celebrated for the return of the Uzumaki.

Besides the summoning contract, there was also detailed instructions how to master his bloodline to summon chakra chains that can attack, defend, and even bind down constructs as powerful as biju. In terms of how far Naruto has mastered, someone is downright fucked if he uses them. There was also another summoning contract for the foxes, but Naruto decided to hold onto that for safekeeping.

For Fu, she has the Chameleon Summoning Contract, masters of stealth, that B got her for one of her birthdays. Since the day the duo discovered they were father and daughter, B has taken parenting seriously. That day when she signed the contract was also the day they discovered she may be one of the strongest Yotsuki members due to Chomei boosting her strength along with her superhuman blood. B was glad to have his ribs broken from that hug.

As for Yugito, she was gifted the Dragon Summoning Contract. It was the only memory from Yugito's late parents who were good friends of the Raikage. The dragons of the summoning contract were also highly skilled masters of the elements like the wolves. Where the wolves would bring the most devastating of storms, the dragons could change the very landscape much like the biju.

In short, combined with their massive chakra reserves and connection with their tenants, it would have to take shinobi of high jonin to take them on. They already have kage-level reserves, and when they reach their prime, nothing may stop them.

(Liu's Ramen)

"Ohaiyo, Liu-san!" Naruto greeted as he and the girls jumped down right in front of the ramen shop.

"Hello, Naruto-kun." Greeted a woman in her mid 20s with shoulder length brown hair and fair skin. She wore a white apron over a yellow dress. In the back managing the ramen were Liu's younger brother and sister, Tai and Yang who had the same blond hair, but Tai had sky blue eyes while Yang had deep purple. "What can I get you?"

"Five large bowls of miso ramen." Naruto said.

"Four large bowls, two of pork and and the other beef." Fu said.

"I'll have four medium bowls of crab with extra fishcake and shrimp please." Yugito said.

"Hai!" Liu beamed with a smile, "Alright, let's get to work."

In five minutes, the jinchuriki were given their order of rows of ramen bowls. After saying their thanks, they went into their delicious meal, Naruto the most gluttonous as he devoured the soup and noodles like a drain.

Naruto was halfway through his third bowl until he uncharacteristically stopped in his devouring of Kami's gift. His eyes narrowed to a more serious expression. Yugito and Fu gave him quizzical looks for a moment only to go back when they realized what was really happening.

"You can come out now." Naruto called out.

A blur dropped down from the rooftop and landed behind the jinchuriki. It became a shinobi, a fairly tall man to be exact with fair skin and a handsome face that swoon bigger crowds of fangirls than Naruto's own back in the academy. He had onyx eyes above barely noticeable tear troughs, and jet black hair that went into a ponytail behind his back and two bangs framed his face to his chin. He wore a standard Kumo ninja outfit with a white flak jacket and had a long katanna on his back.

"Well done, Naruto-kun." praised the man in a monotone, "Your sensor abilities are quite impressive."

"You can thank furball for that, Itachi-nii-san." greeted Naruto.

A few years ago, Itachi Uchiha arrived to Kumo as a Konoha missing nin. He was captured with heavy resistance though thankfully no one was killed. The reason he wasn't interrogated and killed was because of Naruto, whose presence in Kumo surprised Itachi. Naruto vouched for Itachi since he was one of the only ones who truly protected him and saw him as just another human being. He was put on probation but soon became a prized asset to Kumo.

In time, Itachi became something as an older sibling and mentor to the jinchuriki trio. Naruto was like the brother he would have wanted in Sasuke, Yugito became his own student in Fire Release, and Fu was also like an energetic little sister Itachi never knew he wanted though she could lose the rapping. Itachi found more of a home with them than he did in Konoha, which he realized was a disgusted hellhole since he was ordered to slaughter part of his own clan that planned to rebel only to be branded for killing the entire clan that he never intended to hurt.

When Naruto heard of this, he found more reason to scowl at Konoha and ridicule his own father again for being so blind and stupid to those people. Now, Itachi works for Kumo as its first spy master feeding information from the other countries. With Naruto's ingenuity from studying fuinjutsu, Itachi's spy network rivaled Jiraiya the Sannin's network in secrecy and influence.

"I see you have your headbands." Itachi noted with a smile, "Congratulations are in order. Though I wonder why are you here instead of going on your first missions."

Naruto smirked. "Well, since we can't go on higher level shinobi missions until we reach a certain amount, I thought of this great plan of making an army of shadow clones to do all the D-Ranks for us."

"Very clever, Naruto-kun." Itachi complimented.

"Speaking of clever," Naruto said, "I've made a breakthrough on our little project."

Said project was a seal for Itachi's eyes to evolve them passed the Mangekyo. Since Naruto heard the curse of Mangekyo making the users blind from use and even killing them in the long run even if they don't use it, he made it a goal to help Itachi. It was the best he could do for such a noble person who sacrificed too much.

"...I will say it again, you don't have to do so much for me." Itachi said without showing a hint of surprise.

"You should know better, Itachi-sensei." said Yugito, slurping up some crab meat, "When Naruto is set on something, he is not backing down."

"I suppose so." Itachi relented.

"I promise you, Itachi-nii-san." vowed Naruto, "I will help you. You deserve so much more than what you've been given."

"You're kindness is enough, but thank you, Naruto-kun." said Itachi.

"Oh, that's right, I have something for you!" Naruto exclaimed as he unsealed an object, "Here you go."

Itachi took the object in interest. It was only a cylindrical hilt with a round guard at the top and long enough to be held with two hands. The hilt was pure black like obsidian but was engraved with crimson carvings that gave it a magma-like appearance.

"Channel some chakra and see what happens." Naruto said with a cheeky grin.

Itachi did as he was told and his eyes widened in surprise when a deep crimson blade protruded from the hilt. Those in the vicinity could feel the intense heat from the blade and hear the roar of what was definitely fire.

"This looks like the Raijin no Ken, but this is... fire." Itachi said with slight awe as he reigned in his composure and cut the chakra flow.

"I made it as an inspiration from the Nidaime's blade." Naruto explained, "Call it the Hono no Ken, which uses the element of flame instead of lightning but I firmly believe it is as good as a weapon as the Raijin no Ken."

"The Raijin no Ken... I could make a three-sword style and with the Kiba blades..." Fu trailed off as she delved into her fantasies with a bit of drool. Everyone sweatdropped at the green-haired girl. Let it be known that Fu is a huge weapon fanatic.

In some universe, a girl with a scythe and a red hood sneezed.

"...Anyway, I plan on making more to represent the five elements, maybe even some from Kekkei Genkei." Naruto said.

"You do that and I'm sure you'll make your ancestors proud." Itachi said before blurring to the rooftops with his new weapon in hand.

"Just be careful playing Akatsuki." Naruto called out. Part of being a spy master was actually spying, which Itachi excelled at. Infiltrating the Akatsuki with his new reputation as a missing nin and a mass murderer was like taking candy from a baby.

"Why didn't you make me one?" Fu berated while leveling a glare at Naruto.

"You didn't ask." Naruto deadpanned.

Fu face faulted at the black response. "I should've seen that coming."

The jinchuriki shared a few laughs gefore diving back into the gift from Kami.

(A few hundred D-Ranks later)

"Bro, back from a D-Rank, yo." B voiced as he and his genin team entered the Raikage's office.

Ay peered through the cracks in the piles of paperwork to see the shinobi team of jinchuriki. The appearance of his favorite and only niece Fu brought a light in the dark suffering that is paperwork.

"Welcome back." Ay greeted, his arm automatically going to drawer for more other D-Ranks, "Let's see here... we have Suki's garden needs some tending... a ranch needs its cows herded... oh, the Daimyo's wife lost her parrot."

"Oh, c'mon give us a real mission, not these meaningless chores." Naruto exclaimed, "You've seen our documents. We're more than ready for a C-Rank. Fuck it, give us an A-Rank."

The others, including B, nodded in agreement. Ay groaned and lightly bumped his head on the desk. Sometimes, Ay knew that these four combined were going to be the death of him. In truth, Ay couldn't refuse them since they did indeed finish the amount of D-Ranks that would move them up. With a relenting sigh, he pulled up a paper for a C-Rank.

"Fine gaki, you win." Ay said, handing the paper to B, "This is an A-Rank mission to Wave Country where you will find the missing nin known as Zabuza Momoichi and convince him to rejoin Kiri under the new rule of the Godaime Mizukage, Mei Temurei who has insisted the nin's return. If he attacks you are allowed to use force but be careful since he is one of the Seven Swordsman of the Mist."

"Finally, let's roll and flow, Nine-o." B exclaimed as he made his exit by going through the wall.

"Yeah, let's burn down the the town." Naruto cheered making a second hole.

"Wait for me, you need the Lucky Seven jinchuriki." Fu rapped making a third hole in the wall.

Yugito was the only one who stood there her face faulted but a smile on her face.

"I'm surrounded by idiots, but they're my idiots." she said before chasing after them through Naruto's hole.

Ay groaned again, more audibly to show his internal torment. He closed his eyes in contemplation, only to open them and cry anime tears when the stack of papers grew.

(Wave Country)

Team 26 was tree-hopping through a forest after a nonstop sprint from Kumo and a water run all the way to Wave Country. A normal shinobi would've collapsed from the endless trek or even died of chakra exhaustion just by water walking. For a team of jinchuriki, they could run around the world at breakneck speeds for several laps and still go for more. Near unlimited chakra and stamina were such awesome perks having a biju sealed inside of you.

They knew they arrived in Wave Country by the change in climate and humidity. They were patrolling the border to find the missing nin. Along the way, they saw the situation of Wave Country from a business tycoon named Gato that was draining them of their wealth. The jinchuriki made a mental note to kill the bastard and all of his thugs whenever they see them.

"Hold!" Naruto called and the group immediately stopped on a branch.

"What's up, Naruto?" Fu asked.

"I sense five signatures." Naruto informed, "One of them is civilian and the other are shinobi, one of them being jonin. Also, I faintly feel two other signatures, one that is high jonin and the other low jonin."

"Let's observe for now, we don't need to go all pow wow." B ordered.

Team 26 rushed through the treetops with Naruto in the lead until they hid themselves once they reached the edge of a road by a river. There was a civilian, an stout old man with the stench of alcohol being escorted by three shinobi. Their eyes widened recognizing the headbands they had signifying them as ninja from Konoha. Three of Team 26 turned to Naruto with apprehensive looks. The blonde was unnaturally still but they could feel the cold aura coming off from him.

The three Konoha shinobi were a typical team of one jounin and three genin. The jounin was a tall man with gravity-defying white spiky hair with his headband over his left eye and wore a facemask. The whole team knew of Kakashi Hatake the Copy Ninja. His genin team composed of the last Uchiha by the name of Sasuke whose hair could be described as a duck's ass. From his body language, he was a person that put himself on a very high pedestal. Something that would make Itachi frown on.

"Kit, make sure you beat that Uchiha senseless." Kyuubi said. Even after seven years, the Kyuubi refused to give his name to Naruto, but it was still a work-in-progress.

"I plan to." Naruto responded.

The kunoichi of the female team, Sakura Haruno, couldn't possibly qualify as one. Her body showed signs of dieting and her chakra was pitiful. Obviously this was a fangirl.

The next was a pale-skinned boy by the name of Sai who had a very fake smile that put the Kumo nin on edge. It was always the quiet ones that were deadly.

Team 26 decided to observe the shinobi in silence and the scene played out. Zabuza Momoichi, a missing nin with a facemask and his Kiri headband was scratched, made his presence known throwing his absolutely enormous sword to the Konoha nin. They ducked under it as the giant blade embedded itself into a tree. The genin team went into formation protecting their client named Tazuna while the two jounin engaged in battle.

There was a dialogue exchanged explaining Zabuza was hired by Gato to kill their client from building a bridge. That made Naruto scowl since that made this whole mission complex. Zabuza casted his Hidden Mist Technique to mask his presence. However, Kakashi broke away his advantage and fought Zabuza to the water. Unfortunately, the Copy Nin was caught in a Water Prison and Zabuza sent Water Clones to deal with the genin. Surprisingly, the genin managed to hold their ground and free Kakashi. The jounin entered a fight of ninjutsu, but Kakashi's sharingan eye took advantage and defeated Zabuza in a massive tidal wave. Kakashi was the victor.

Team 26 were about to spring into action to save Zabuza and complete their mission until a couple of senbon struck him in the neck. Naruto cursed inwardly until he saw the 'hunter nin' that threw the senbon and carried Zabuza's 'corpse' away. Naruto turned to his teammates and they all nodded in agreement. That was no hunter nin and Zabuza wasn't dead.

They were about to give chase to the 'hunter nin' when Kakashi's gaze turned toward them.

"You can come out now." The Copy Nin called out.

Team 26 froze on the spot reluctant. They had no choice; the jig was up in blitz as B would rap so they landed on the ground and revealed themselves to the Konoha nin. The air froze from the tension between the foreign shinobi. Sasuke had a smug look thinking that he could easily defeat these weaklings. Sakura was trembling on the spot with a kunai in hand. Sai was impassive but his hand was reaching for a kunai.

Kakashi sent a narrowed glare to the Kumo nin. A simple C-Rank he thought that would go smooth turned into a A-Rank with just the appearance of Zabuza and now Kumo was in the mix. He was low on chakra but he wasn't about to go back down. His eyes glazed over the 'enemy' team ready to pick out who to take out first until both his eyes widened on a familiar mop of blonde hair and blue eyes. He knew those features anywhere from his sensei, but since he was dead that left only one person who could look like a physical clone of his father figure.

"Naruto..." Kakashi gasped before the shock forced him into unconsciousness via chakra exhaustion.

Naruto sighed. "Well this is so troublesome. Konoha nin, let's just call a truce since we're only here for our own mission and your sensei just collapsed from chakra exhaustion. Is there a place that we can coop up and then we can talk like normal people."

Tazuna decided that he should've brought more sake with him that day.

That's it for this chapter. I must be some kind of pain-loving idiot for making these chapters so damn long.

Until next time. Stay in touch. Please, please leave a review.
