Chapter three

Escape from the ninjas

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Brats. You mind tellin me what the hell's goin on?" growls Zabusa as he fingers the handle of his sword. No one says anything.

"Naruto Uzumaki. Its time for you to return to Konoha," says the silver haired ANBU. Naruto stood there glaring at the two Konoha nins before saying, "Zabusa-san. Can you kill them?"

This causes the two ninjas to widen their eyes slightly.

"Zabusa? Demon of the hidden mist? What are you doing here?"

"I am not obliged to answer that question and no brat I'm not killing any one. I have no problems with these two and I hardly know you."

Naruto pouts for a second before resuming his glaring at the two ANBU.

"Uzumaki Naruto you have to return to Konoha immediately...It's the Hokage's orders."

"I'm not going back to that place."

The silver-haired ANBU steps closer.

"We'll bring you back by force if we have to."

Naruto turns to run but before he could even take a step he is lifted into the air and slung over the man's shoulder.

"Let go! Lego a me! I don't wanna go back! Stupid grownups put me down!"

"Sorry demon but you have to be monitored at all times. That means you are not permitted to leave Konoha." This is said by the other ANBU. Zabusa could feel himself getting angry and Naruto's siblings were scowling. Finally Reiven decides to make their presence known.

"Hey! If nii-san doesn't wanna go back then leave him alone!" he yells.

"Ni-san? What are you talking about?" asks The silver-haired ANBU. It was then that he noticed Akira, Naturo and Reiven. His eyes widen.

"Kakashi what's wrong?" asks the other ANBU.

"These kids..." Kakashi was staring down at three identical faces. The only differences were the eyes and the hair.

"Put him down!" yells Naturo.

Kakashi was deep in thought. Ignoring Naruto's kicks and screams and his team mate's questions. "Since when did Naruto have siblings? Something isn't right. These kids are spitting images of each other. Right down to the whisker marks!"

He didn't notice the small grey boy suddenly raise his arms. He also didn't notice when all of his Kunai and shuriken left his pockets and flew over towards the boy. He didn't notice as the other boy suddenly sprouts a pair black wings but Zabusa and the other ANBU did.

"More demons!" yells the ANBU snapping Kakashi out of his trance. Kakashi looks at his teammate and says, "Just what are you talking about?" the ANBU raises an accusing finger at Naruto's siblings and says, "Just look at those monsters."

"What the hell is goin on?" Asks Zabusa.

Kakashi also had the same thought running through his mind as the kunai and shuriken melt and become globs of floating liquid around the grey boy. It was then that he notices that all of his weapons are gone.

"But how? When did this kid get them?" he asks.

His receives is answer surprisingly from Zabusa who says, "It's the brat's bloodline limit. He did the same thing to my sword."

Kakashi's eyes widen. "Since when did this ability exist?" He also notices the boy with wings. "What the hell is going on here?"

"I told you Kakashi. These brats appear to have unique abilities," says Zabusa.

"That's impossible. Blood lines such as these do not exist."

"That's because they're monsters! Just look at them! They're spitting images of the kyuubi brat! That should explain it all right there!" yells the other ANBU.

Kakashi ignores his teammate and looks down at the three Naruto look a likes. "Just who or...What are you kids?"

"Its none of your business now let Nii-san go." says Akira.

"I cannot do that. Your...Brother has to be returned to Konoha."

"Why? Is it cause he has Kyuubi fox in him?" asks Reiven.

This causes Zabusa, Kakashi and the other ANBU to flinch.

"Yeah that's right. We know ni-san's secret...He never keeps us in the dark. We also know that Grownups are stupid in Konoha and treat ni-san badly."

"Kakashi takes a step forward but does not get any closer as Naturo's metal lashes out at him.

"Keep away and give Ni-san back!" he yells.

"You dare attack an elite ninja? I'll put you in your place demon." says the other ANBU as he draws a few shurikan and throws them. "Try and stop this brat!"

Naturo does just that. By creating a dome of metal around the front of him then adding those weapons to his metal.

"Alright this is getting old. Put the brat down and let him be on his way." says Zabusa.

"Stay out of this," says Kakashi.

"Listen Kakashi. The brat obviously does not want to return to Konoha. Why force him to? Why not leave him and his siblings alone? You know they would only escape again."

"Not likely. Once he is returned he will be placed under constant guard of the ANBU."

"You'll make the brat a prisoner in his own village? You sound just as bad as the Kiri government."

"I'll says this again Zabusa. Stay out of this."

Zabusa draws his sword. "You know? You're really beginning to piss me off."

Kakashi throws the still thrashing Naruto to his teammate and says, "Keep a hold of him and do NOT do anything to the boy." He then uncovers his Sharingan.

"Lets do this," says Zabusa as he charges. Because of the Sharingan, Kakashi was able to easily avoid all of Zabusa's blows and Zabusa refused to have his jutsu stolen by the copy nin. He struck at the copy nin numerous times and was getting nowhere. This was frustrating him.

Meanwhile Naruto was still thrashing in the ANBU's arms. "Let me go! Stupid grownup! I never wanna return to Konha! I won't go back!"

"Shut up brat. You're going weather you like it or not!"

Naruto growls and tries everything from biting to punching to kicking but it was having no effect on the ninja.

"Calm down brat before I kill you!"

Akira and Reiven heard what the ANBU had just said and were angry.

"Reiven what do we do? We have to rescue Ni-san!"

"I know but...How?"

Akira's mind was already forming an idea. After a minute she looks over at her brother and says, "I got it. Listen closely."

Naturo was watching the fight between Zabusa and Kakashi and felt his frustration growing as Zabusa repeatedly failed to land a blow. He examines Kakashi and realizes that his reflexes had to do something with the swirling red eye. Much like Akira, his mind had already thought up a solution.

"Dammit! Let me go!" screams Naruto. The ANBU ignores him. That is until he felt the boy's foot connect with the side of his head.

"Dammit brat you're going to pay for that!" He then throws the boy with a considerable amount of force. Naruto sails through the air before smashing into a tree and falling to the ground unconscious.

"NI-SAN!" screams Akira and Reiven in unison.

The ANBU ignores the two and advances on Naruto with killer intent. "I don't care what Kakashi or the Hokage has to say. You die tonight demon."

Kakashi had just dodged another blow from zabusa's sword and was getting ready to prepare to end the fight with his signature ninjutsu when Zabusa swung again. Kakashi smirks and dodges the sword but the smirk vanishes the moment Zabusa's sword suddenly twists and shoots right at him. Kakakshi didn't have any time to react and ended up getting gashed in the side.

"W-what the hell?"

Zabusa smirks and says, "It looks like the brat has his usefulness after all."

It was then that he noticed Naturo with his hands held out in front of him and smirking.

"I wonder if you can follow the movements of both me and a sword that moves unpredictably?"

He then attacks again.

Akira and Reiven had completely forgotten about their plan and were rushing over to Naruto. Just as they reached him they were kicked out of the way by the ANBU who says, "After I'm done with him you're next." He the draws a kunai and leans in toward Naruto.

"Naruto ni-san! Wake up!" yells Akira with tears beginning to form in her eyes.

Naruto groans and opens his eyes but when he does he finds himself in the confines of his own mind, in a familiar sewer in front of a familiar giant cage. He looks up to see Kyuubi in her humanoid form staring down at him.

"Jeez brat it looks like you can't even handle being thrown up against a tree. How pathetic," she says with a smirk.

"Shut up fox,"

"Heh so why is it that you are here? I thought you didn't need me anymore now that you have your siblings."

"I didn't choose to be here! Some stupid grownup from Konoha did this!"

"I see...So what do you want me to do about it?"

"What?"

"I mean I'm willing to help your pathetic ass out because if that Human kills you then he kills me as well and I for one refuse to die inside the cage of some human brat."

"Shut up fox I don't want your help."

"Insolent whelp! Take it! And you better be grateful dammit!" At this Kyuubi sends some of her chakra over to Naruto and covers him in it.

Kakashi was breathing heavily and was sporting several gashes. "Damn...I can't predict the movements of that sword," he says.

"Of coarse you can't," says Zabusa with a smirk.

Zabua's sword was currently twisting and squirming like a snake and there were also small globs of liquid metal hovering around it. Zabusa's sword looked to be truly alive.

"Damn that kid! That ability of his is amazing! I'll probably have to take him out if I'm to finish off Zabusa."

Kakashi never got around to doing so because a surge of demonic energy suddenly tore through the forest and froze everyone in place but the three who are related to Naruto.

"What the hell was that?"

Naturo smiles and says, "That's Naruto ni-san!"

Kakashi's eyes widen. "No its not possible! The seal can't be broken!"

Zabusa's thoughts were along the line of, "What the hell kind of energy is this? Such malice! Is this truly coming from that boy?"

The ANBU who was about to lodge a kunai in Naruto's chest was suddenly thrown back by the sure of chakra. The atmosphere around the boy grew tense and unstable. The wind picked up and the plants around him began to dry up and burn.

"What the hell? It can't be! The demon! Is escaping!"

This is when Naruto snaps his eyes open to reveal a pair of crimson demonic eyes instead of the normal blue. As he gets to his feet he is engulfed in crimson chakra that began to alter his appearance. His Whisker marks grew darker, his canines grew longer as did his fingernails. His hair turned even wilder then before and his voice changed. Becoming a mix of that of a young boy and an animalistic female's

"Stupid fox! I said I don't wan't your help!" he yells.

The ANBU flinches and hurls a few shuriken at the boy while screaming about possessed demon brats.

Naruto sees the incoming weapons and dodges them with a speed that was very unnatural for a six year old child.

"Stupid grownup! Leave me ALONE!" As the last word was said a burst of chakra escapes the boy's mouth and slams into the ANBU and throws him through several trees before he slumps to the ground unconscious.

Akira and Reiven rush to Naruto's side to make sure he is okay and could feel their own chakra acting up as they got closer to him. They knew it was because their chakra was apart of what Naruto was currently glowing with.

"He Ni-san are you okay?" asks Reiven.

Naruto smiles and says, "Yeah but the stupid fox forced me to use her power!"

"But isn't that a good thing?"

"No! I wan't nothing to do with her!"

Kakashi and Zabusa had both decided that their fight was unimportant and rushed over to where Naruto was. Naturo stayed behind to comfort the very scared Haku.

"Its okay its only ni-san. He won't hurt us I promise."

Haku smiles but still says nothing.

"C mon I wanna see what ni-san looks like!" He the grabs the feminine boy's wrist and drags him over towards his brother.

When Kakashi and Zabusa arrived at their destination they both let a gasp escape their mouths. Naruto was standing in the middle of a clearing and looking very demonic and engulfed in swirling red chakra."

Kakashi had half a mind to kill the boy where he stood to keep the kyuubi from escaping but restrained himself when he realized that Naruto was still in control.

"Kakashi What exactly is going ON here!?" yells Zabusa.

"Help me get the boy back to Konoha and I'll explain every thing."

Naturo who had just arrived heard what Kakashi had just said and instantly uses his power to wrap both nin up in the twisted form of Zabusa's sword.

"I'm sorry Zabusa-san but I won't let you take Ni-san back."

He then looks at Haku and tells him he is sorry to have to leave so soon before running up to his siblings.

"Hey guys we have to go now!" he yells as he approaches his siblings.

The three other children nod and flee from the scene before Zabusa or Kakashi could free themselves.

"Dammit Kakashi its because of you and those brats I'm in this mess!" yells Zabusa as he struggles to free himself. Naturo had made sure they wouldn't escape.

"Dammit!"

"Well I guess we have no choice but to wait until my teammate wakes up." says Kakashi cooly.

Zabusa growls.

"Hey Zabusa...You anything about those kids who were with the blonde?"

Zabusa closes his eyes for a second before saying, "All I know is that I caught the brats eating my lunch."

"Oh alright then."

"Just who were those kids? And where did they come from?"

Zabusa looks around for a minute before saying, "Hey brat where are you?"

"Right here Zabusa-sama," says Haku.

"Alright. Make sure you keep in my field of vision."

"H-Hai"

Naruto and his clones/siblings ran and kept running for several hours. Naruto had long since returned to normal but they were intent on getting as far away from those ninjas as possible.

When they finally came to a stop they found themselves at the edge of the rice country over looking a small village.

"Hey Ni-san do you think its safe to go there?" asks reiven.

"No but...Its not Konoha. Hopefully we can find some food and a place to sleep for the night right?"

"Yeah." says Naturo.

"And besides. They won't know who we are so we don't have to worry." says Akira.

The boys nod in agreement.

"So what are we waiting for? Lets go!" says Reiven.

The four Uzumaki's then make their way towards the hidden sound village.
