Kyuubi Talking/Inner Sakura

'Thoughts'

Chapter 1: Home

The sky was beautiful today, barley a cloud to be seen for miles and not the slightest cold breeze. She had come her often to just lay and watch the clouds. The secret rooftop was even where Shika had proposed to her, she had of course said yes, they had been dating for nearly five years. A lot had happened since, he, left. Hinata and Kiba were the first couple to marry, then it was Sakura and Sasuke and finally Her and Shikamaru. Neji and Ten Ten had moved away to mist and Lee was on another one of his training trips. Everyone was happy and today it was announced that Sasuke had been chosen to take the place of Hokage, not that Ino was entirely thrilled for her friend, but it didn't feel right.

'It's not his place to be in…..its his…'

In the Hokage office there was another thinking that exact thought, Tsunade was staring out over Konoha.

"Six years Jiraya……any news?..."

The old perv was leaning against a wall his arms crossed as he analyzed his oldest friend.

"None…..ive searched everywhere but he faded to nothing after the last sighting…..but there is news on Akatsuki….they've been spotted…to close for comfort….."

"How far?..."

"A few miles……their heading this way….."

"How many?..."

"………..all of them……."

"………"

"Tsunade?..."

"SHINZUNE!!"

The medic came into the room almost falling in her hurry.

"Hokage-sama!"

"Send the alert! I want every ANBU member surrounding Konoha and every one else to be prepared…."

"Hokage-sama….why?..."

Tsunade was quiet for a few moments, choosing her answer.

"Because……we're under attack…."

With that shinzune had already left the room leaving Tsunade and Jiraya to set up the defence.

Somewhere in the Konoha forest…

"SHUT UP HIDAN!!"

"Hey! Watch it Shark face! You might offend Jashin!"

"Get it through your head!! I DON'T CARE!!"

"Shut up both of you…."

Kisame had his sword clutched in his hands while Hidan had his Scythe in his hands, though both stood down as Pein spoke.

"He started it!"

"I said Shut up Hidan!...we're almost there…."

At that all the members of Akatsuki looked to the one leading the group, putting away their weapons and replacing their uniform hats Hidan and Kisame reluctantly looked at the one heading the group, however it was not pein but someone else. Itachi was the first to speak.

"When we get there…..what is our first task?..."

The leader didn't move only his hollow voice filled the clearing.

"Kill anyone who resists…."

Konoha war room..

The jounins surrounded the map of Konoha all of them filled with tension, everyone except Sasuke of course. The room was quiet as Tsunade spoke.

"Ive called only you here because you all will be our first defense…..Sasuke will be in charge…."

Sasuke stepped forward and sighed preparing for his detailed explanation until he was interrupted by a chunin crashing into the room.

"HOKAGE-SAMA! THEIR HERE!!"

Sakura smirked, it was time to give them what they deserved! For what they put him through. It had been long since rumored that Naruto had been found and killed by Akatsuki, no one had proof to believe otherwise. The team burst out of the room to the main gate of Konoha. Immediately everyone was in battle formations as words were shouted.

"Konoha! Let us in and no one will get hurt!"

"But the bounties!.."

"Shut up Kakuzu!!...just let us in!!"

It was Pein shouting at the guards though they ignored him sighing he nodded at the new member of the group who stepped forward, standing infront of the gate he raised his hand and placed it on the gate pushing forward. The people on the other side were forced to duck as the two giant doors hurtled away crashing through building, Akatsuki took its steps into Konoha and Deidara stretched with a content grin.

"Finally we're here!!...yeah…"

"Don't relax too soon Deidara…."

"And don't be so stiff Sasori! You should unwind some time!"

"Im made of wood you Baka!!"

Pein sighed and tossed his hat aside, the others did the same except for one. Sasukes fists tensed at the sight of Itachi, but Sakura small hand on his shoulder kept him steady.

All silence was broken by Pein.

"So you can surrender now and accept our terms or we can destroy half the city….whats it going to be?..."

"suck eggs you losers!"

Pein glared at Kiba then looked directly at Tsunade.

"I don't talk to dogs….now….what do you choose?..."

"Get out or we'll kill you…."

Tsunades eyes were closed and her fists clenched, Pein was holding his stomach he was laughing so hard, though he suddenly stopped and looked up with an angry glare.

"Wrong answer….."

Looking back at the mystery member he nodded.

"Destroy a few building just to prove a point….its time to introduce yourself…"

The member nodded under his hat, his hand went to the rim of the hat and lazily tossed it aside, everyone gasped or took a step back. Long gone was the short blonde hair, it was now longer more resembling of the fourth, the eyes were a piercing red with slits as pupils, from under the robes emerged two fox tails his glare crossed every one before him.

"My name….Is Naruto Namikaze…."

Jiraya was looking at his old pupil in horror.

"He did it….he mastered the Kyuubi…."
