All right to all you flamers out there and people who don't like reading my stories…SHUT UP! It's not as if I'm pointing a gun at your head forcing you to read. Sure, I tolerate criticism but just out right saying my story sucks with no good reason…I mean I don't see any of you losers doing this. ARGH! Ok enough with talking about talent-less losers who get their rocks off on making fun of other people's works…

Sorry I haven't been reviewing as fast as before last couple of weeks have been a bit hectic with the end of the Quarter and all But, I'm back…

LOOK AT MY PROFILE…..ALSO SUBSCRIBE TO MY C2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, thanks to all the other people who actually reviewed thanks a lot…

TheDon1023 – Well I do know this story is similar to Till Eternity's End by The Silent Muse (Great Story…really everyone should read it) but I'm trying to stray from that and compared to his writing this story is crap. I mean I can only hope that I can become as good at writing as him. Nevertheless, yeah I'm trying my best here…anyway as to having to protect the whole village. Sure he could of taken Hanabi and Hinata but you expect him to fight a war on two fronts while at the same time taking care of two kids 'cause as soon as the war starts up its will become if you not with me your against me type of fighting. Therefore, he rather has a stable environment for them to grow up in. Also added to the fact if he takes them away from their family and all that they ever known that would make the kids a little unhappy with him. As for how he got so strong…It's in this chapter

Chm01 – Well this story would be yaoi but thankfully I'm not into that stuff so this story if NOT YAOI. I made Haku into a girl I mean there is no way she's a guy I don't care what anybody says.

Thanks Also to all of my readers and even more so to my reviewers….


Lost in the Hourglass

Chapter 2: History of the Massacre


My things can be said about the village of Konoha ...not all of them good things. But without a doubt, it has spewed practically some of the most famous shinobi from its loins. In one way or another Konoha has had a hand in making some of the world's most disastrous and dangerous criminals, as well as the greatest and righteous Heroes of all time. Some of the notorious villains are some such as Orochimaru, Uchiha Itachi, the lesser-known Pein, and finally one of the greatest in its history Uchiha Madara.

Uchiha Madara, one of Konohakagure's original founders and being the ancestor of the Uchiha clan, noted for being the first to achieve the legendary Magenkyo Sharingan and killing the Shodaime Hokage in what is now known as the fabled Valley of the End.

Uchiha Itachi, Prodigy of the Uchiha Clan, like his ancestor he has achieved the Magenkyo Sharingan by killing his best friend then later slaughtering his whole clan with the exception of Uchiha Sasuke, His little brother. But actual History of this Uchiha member is still a little cloudy but for reasons unknown it was said he carried out the body of Uchiha Shisui when he left Konoha. But the question was why would he carry the body of the best friend he killed in order to get the Magenkyo Sharingan?

Pein once known as Nagato and former pupil of the Toad Sannin, Jiraiya, little is known about this individual except him being an orphan involved with one of the many Amekagure (1) wars, and a rumor of him being the leader of a supposed organization composed of some S-ranked missing-nins.

Then finally Orochimaru also a genius of Konoha noted for being the Snake Sannin of the Legendary Three and being banished from Konoha for is various and disturbing human experiment in his quest for immortality.

Despite creating a fair number of powerful missing-nins Konoha has spurred more than its fair share of Heroes;

Hon'you Fuuyou (2) the Shodaime Hokage - said to have been blessed by the forest spirit of Konoha he was allowed the gift of Mokuton, Wood Release, gracing him with the title of Shugorinkan (3)

Hon'you Amamizu(4) the Nidaime Hokage - once known as Leviathan the Sea God for his unorthodox methods of using Suiton jutsus without an actually water source

Sarutobi Sasuke the Sandaime Hokage - also known as the Professor in his knowledge in practically all aspects of Ninjutsu as well as mastery over them bur favored Doton and Suiton in memory of his teachers the Nidaime and the Shodaime

Namikaze Minato the Yondaime Hokage - whose alias is the Kiiroi Senko (5) for his two signature moves the Hiraishin (6) and the Rasengan (7). That which brought death to many of the Invading Iwa Forces as well as being a student of Jiraiya and an unparallel seal master

Tsunade the Slug Sannin - One of the greatest medics to have graced the Shinobi Lands and is said to created more than half all know Medic Ninjutsu. Added to this fact she is physically the strongest person to live, as she is able to create fissures with a single finger

Jiraiya the Toad Sannin - Seal master and the teacher of the famed Yondaime Hokage. He has surpassed his teammates and can beat them on a One-on-One match. He is also known for his award winning erotic books, the Icha Icha Paradise Series.

Hatake Sakumo - whose basic principles are the basis for the Konoha Shinobi code and known as the White Fang for his white chakra saber and being on par with the legendary Sannin,

Hatake Kakashi - is the son of the White Fang and known as the Copy-nin. The one ninja who has a fully developed Sharingan outside of the Uchiha Clan and used it to copy over a thousand jutsus but his claim to fame was his original move the Chidori and its older sibling the Raikiri

Maito Gai - though a very eccentric person Maito Gai so his nickname as the Beautiful Green Beast is very fitting. He is the foremost epitome of a Taijutsu Master and is said be able to use any kind of Taijutsu even the Juken of the Hyuga Clan

Gekko Hayate - also known as Konoha's Tsukigakure (8) for his mastery over the Rokutsuki Ryuu (9) Kenjutsu

Yamanaka Inochi - clan Head of the Yamanaka Clan. Even though the Yamanaka Clan is known for their Mind Jutsus. Inochi is said to have such mastery over his technique he can the minds of his opponents with the barest eye contacts earning him the name Omoidokushi (10). He was also teamed up with Akimichi Chouza and Nara Shikaku to form the Ino-Shika-Cho group

Akimichi Chouza teammate to Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inochi. He is also the clan head of the Akimichi Clan much like his teammates. He is dubbed the Zaiseikouhan (11) by his enemies for his mastery over the Baika no jutsu of the Akimichi Clan. With the said jutsu mastered to such an extent, he is able to grow to larger than any other Akimichi who pull it off.

Nara Shikaku - although the Nara clan is well known for their laziness, their intelligence, and their shadow jutsus. Shikaku is all of these things and more but has well earned his name as the Kyoukage (12) fall all those who managed to earn his ire on the battlefield. He is a clan head and part of the Ino-Shika-Cho team, a group whose teamwork is very close on par with the Sannin

Inuzuka Genken (13) - the Dog of War and half of the Fang and Claw duo of the Inuzuka Clan. He was the Inuzuka clan leader before his death with the Kyubi. He created the Soutourou (14) and the follow-up technique the Garouga (15). He died valiantly against the Kyubi and actually held off the beast for a full seventeen minutes.

Inuzuka Tsume - Wife to Genken and the other half of the Fang and Claw Duo. She is graced with the name Gouonteikaitsu (16) for her master over the Tsuga (17) and the Gatsuga (18). She is able to use either one it actually drill a hole clean through the Hokage's Mountain.

Hyuga Hiashi - Clan Head of the Main Family of the Hyuga. Known for his superior Byukugan for being able to see thing more clearly and much further as well giving him the Name as the Ever Present Eye.

Hyuga Hizashi - Clan Head of the Branch family of the Hyuga. Known for his use of the Kaiten for prolonged periods giving him the name as the Impenetrable Hyuga. Died during the Attempted Hyuga Hinata kidnapping.

Uchiha Shisui the only other Uchiha recognizable for an original talent. Shisui was gifted in the use of the Shushin allowing to move, to create, and to fight with illusions/ after-images of himself. Shisui was unofficially called Shisui no Shushin and the older brother of Itachi. He was killed by Itachi to obtain the Magenkyo Sharingan but his body disappeared after the Uchiha Massacre when Itachi fled.

…and the list goes on…

Uzumaki Naruto was a name of Sin within the Walls of Konoha…well to its citizens any way. The majority of the ninjas were neutral on the topic neither hating the boy but at the same time neither loving him. It was the conflict emotions for their love and respect of the Yondaime and the utter fear and hatred of the Kyuubi that created the equilibrium. The young Uzumaki Naruto was to be undoubtedly Konoha's redeeming feature in the years to come. However, a little known fact about the young warrior is that he may have a physical age of ten but his mental age is even older than the History of Konoha itself. One may ask how such an ordeal would have happened, it started on the week after Naruto left Konoha…


Flash Back…

Naruto was lying on his back panting and with good reason to. He had successfully snuck out of Konoha while simultaneously setting up traps and dusting his tracks. His inner prankster had a great deal of fun creating probably his greatest and most innovative trap ever in that great forest. The forest already was dangerous enough containing many wild and large beasts. His traps, deciding to forego it usual playful aspect, only served to heighten the danger with multi-layered traps. If Naruto counted how many trap he set up he would have said at least a good couple of thousand over the week he planned his escape. Most Jounin would have trouble even staying in that place for long periods. Thus training area 44 or The Forest of Death has been born.

Naruto being the little kid he is had already spent most of his boundless energy running and the setting sun didn't help matters either. Leaving the young boy, ever so slowly, drifting off in into the sweet oblivion known as sleep. Then by some sick twist of destiny a Ninja, bearing the sigh of a musical note stumbled upon the boy. Not looking a gift horse in the mouth, he tried one of his newest jutsus. It was an unnamed jutsu dealing with the mind it makes the victim into a slave of the user. Unfortunately, the ninja didn't have the mind power to dominate the mind of the Kyuubi or of Naruto, and he didn't have enough chakra either. Thus killing the arrogant ninja and leaving Naruto with a partially shattered mind. Luckily, thanks to the Kyuubi his mind wasn't completely shattered and allowed Naruto to awaken in his mind. Thus allowing the two to meet face to face for the first time…after the first five mental years of silence.

"SO GAKI IT LOOKS LIKE OUR INEVITABLE MEETING HAS ACCURED…I WOULD KILL YOU BUT THIS SEAL KEEPS ME TRAPT" the Kyuubi said while trying to stab the young boy with his claws. Luckily, for Naruto he was too far to reach.

"Yea I guess so, but it doesn't explain why it took so long for us to meet." Naruto said back fearlessly on the outside while he held back the over pouring fear inside.

"IT SEEMS AS IF YOU ONLY STUMBLED UPON MY CAGE BY CHANCE…AS FOR THE QUESTION RUNNING THROUGH YOUR HEAD YOU MIND HAS BEEN PARITIALLY SHATTERED AND YOUR BODY TOOK THE NESSECARY STEPS TO HEAL IT." Kyuubi said

Naruto then asked "How?"

"SOME WEAKLING TRIED A JUTSU TO TURN YOU INTO A SLAVE…BUT LUCKILY FOR YOU HE DIDN'T HAVE THE MENTAL POWER OR POWER IN GENERAL TO DO SO." The Kyuubi said with a vulpine grin.

"But why can't you heal me?" Naruto asked

"THE REASON WHY I WON'T HEAL YOU IS BECAUSE I CAN POSSIBLE MAKE YOU WORSE THAN YOU ALREADY ARE OR KILL YOU. SINCE MY LIFE FORCE IS CONNECTED WITH YOURS, I DON'T WANT TO DIE YET. FOR EVEN I CAN'T HEAL ANOTHER'S MIND, FOR THE MIND IS UNIQUE FOR EVERYONE." The Kitsune said

"But what happens now?" Naruto asked

"I HAVE DECIDED TO TAKE IT UPON MY SELF TO TRAIN YOU. AFTER ALL YOU REFLECT MY POWER AND MY POWER IS ABLSOLUTE.," the Kyuubi said

"AS FOR YOU BODY I WILL ALLOW MY YOUKI TO SUSTAIN AND PROTECT IT AND AT THE SAME TIME ALLOW IT TO STIMULATE YOUR MUSCLES." Kyuubi continued

"…" Naruto had a look of utter confusion

"IT MEANS VERY THING WE DO IN YOUR MIND WILL AFFECT YOUR BODY," Kyuubi said with a sigh at the look on the youngsters face

Thus under the Kyuubi tutelage Naruto quickly grew in all aspects at an outstanding pace. The ancient fox proved to be practically a walking library with its near infinite knowledge. It has allowed young Naruto to the more obscure forms of energy and fighting that had been long buried under the sands of time. What most likely helped Naruto the most was Kyuubi's teaching style which can be summed up as 'I will give you the beginning, you will give me an end'. It allowed Naruto to be flexible with the different thing he learned.

Such as the multitude of different energies;

Chakra a mixture of the spiritual and physical aspects of energy

Ki a physical aspect of energy drawing from an internal force

Chi a physical aspect of energy drawing from and external force

Reiki both a spiritual and physical form of energy that is located in earthly beings

Reiatsu a spiritual form of energy gained when a person has deathly experience.

Magic/ Mana a spiritual form of energy drawing from both internal and external source

Youki a spiritual form of energy that demons have

Life Force the source of all energy

Every person is capable of wielding all these different types of energy except Youki unless you have some sort of demonic ancestry or been partnered with a demon. Each of the one of these energies vary in uses and potencies as well as how to draw upon them such as;

Chakra not as potent as its counterpart but it is definitely the most versatile besides life force. It is able to destroy and heal at an equal pace as such prolong use as a muscle enhancement will result in faster build up of lactic acids faster than its separate components. It is easily summoned when a person is either experienced in its usage, or has a very well balanced mind and body. Uses hand seals to help manipulate chakra for certain results.

Ki potency varies from person to person as a person and on how it's used but is easily more potent that Chakra. It is commonly used as a temporary booster and used to fire as a blast of energy. Its uses in healing are limited as you can heal yourself and others at an accelerated rate but much slower than Chakra and than its spiritual counter parts. Evoking ki for beginners usually requires a strong emotion but then it loses its potency and it the person uses that emotion to often it becomes a dominating trait. Masters can summon ki up in an instant without needing an emotion and can control its potency.

Chi its strength is determined by the control the user has in summoning up the surrounding energy. It like ki can be used it can be used to as a booster and be launched as a projectile but it lacks the same strength. But is main focus is on heal it can heal thing at an abnormally fast rate and for some people it is on par with instantaneous regeneration.

Reiki a seemingly more potent spiritual version but it is more than that. While it is more potent than Ki, it is much smaller in reserves it also can't be used as a healing tool. Despite that draw back it cam fire off more powerful blast and if focused enough that the form of a complex weapon. To be able to draw upon reiki you must to be able to draw beyond your normal reserves of Ki.

Reiatsu is essentially the exact opposite of Chakra by being the essences of death. It has the same basic principles but it is less potent but much more easy to manipulate. More often than naught, it uses a weapon as a medium, or to fire a crimson colored blast called a Cero. On normal condition people can't use this source of energy unless if they had a brush with death. Uses chants instead of chakra to help manipulate reiatsu into the users desired results.

Magic/ Mana is a special version of spiritual energy as you need to be born with the ability to use your internal source. The external source can be drawn from your surrounds such as trees, rock, and the earth. Mana or magic is very potent but requires a very disciplined mine to use both its very destructive properties and very constructive properties. A medium is required for beginners to start learn but after repeated use the user be start to use the focus as a booster rather than a crutch. The reason the medium becomes a booster is after repeated use on drawing out mana or magic they gain the ability used mana without a focus. Chants and hand gestures help beginners focus and use mana.

Youki the demonized chakra found strictly in demons or all those who have blood connections with demons. Demons use Youki can generally distinguish if they want to use the physical of spiritual aspects. It can generally be summed up as a very potent version of chakra but with the abilities of both Ki and Reiki.

Life Force is generally unknown by many seeing as its very use kills the body. This is a last resort, it is the under lying and unknown source of all energy. To give a description in Layman's Terms it that you can get the same results if you combined Chakra, Ki, Chi, Reiki, Reiatsu, Mana, and Youki then times it by a hundred. It is very powerful but the body only has enough for a person to sustain its use for about five minutes before the body dies. To access this energy all other forms of energy must be expended and you have to sum up every single ounce of will power to continue with whatever tasks need to be done.

This was most likely Naruto's biggest weapon it was access to these energies and the gift they provide. The Kyuubi couldn't be more pleased with Naruto's progress. After all, you don't often get to teach a person with practically boundless potential. The Kyubi could give Naruto six basic strikes, the High, Medium, and Low kicks and punches, and from there he could make up a totally unique Kata that will actually work in a live situation. Besides training in the use of energy, Naruto was trained in the art of the physical body as well as the mental arts. Naruto then gave a completely new meaning to body weapon. He was physically trained to use any and all weapons to their fullest extent by learning anatomy. Then for his mental training, he was taught physiology to such an extent that with the barest glance he can read all of his opponent's thoughts. Although the Kyuubi wouldn't say it aloud, he grew to care for the blond that has grown over the years onto him. However, sadly, even after his training has ended his mind had not fully healed. At that point, Kyubi estimated he had been training for at least a millennium. The when he finally did awaken he learned that only a year has passed in real time and his body was younger than in his mind. Even though his body is capable of the same thing, Naruto wasn't used to the different center of gravity and overall use. Therefore, during the next three years he developed his use over his body.

During this time Naruto was graced with the name of Datenshi no Kyuusei, the Fallen Angel of Sudden Death, and with good reasons to. Many people found his young cherubic being deceiving when he fought. For the people gifted enough to live after seeing him fight could honestly say they would rather fight a demon. Then the killer with the face of an angel but with claws of a devil.

One of the most notable things Naruto did during this period was his fight against the Yamato no Orochi. The Orochi was the weak son of the Hachibi no Hebi. Despite being born for a powerful parent, the Orochi could barely beat the Ichibi.

With everything in working Order Naruto practically walked the Land unopposed…unless if you were the Gobi no Houkou or stronger…at least by Kyuubi's estimation.

Flash Back End…


Nevertheless, one may say this is impossible…well they are wrong. How much time that passes in the mind it completely up to the owner of the said mind and how much that person has trained in the mental arts. To any one the mind is your most powerful weapon they only weapon that death itself has to take away. Uzumaki Naruto is well verse in his being in many aspects including mental, physical, and spiritual views. That alone made him practically a god among the regular shinobi population.

However, for now enough of history let us continue with the story…

Within the walls of Konoha, things were stirring. A ball had been rolled and the dice had been cast now it was time to think. A dark figure can be seen stand on a war torn field surrounded by a good group Jounin.

"You now this can't even be considered even stretching for me…even it I am just stick to Taijutsu." Naruto said aloud to the Jounin

"Hai maybe not for your but for us this will most likely our brush with death." Silver haired Masked Ninja said

"HAI I AGREE WITH MY ETERNAL RIVAL!" a green spandex-wearing one said next

"Aw come one it can't be that hard to take one guy down." A female wearing a trench coat whined

"Well if you're all done I'd like to start this one-sided slaughter sometime soon…I still have things to do." The Dark figure said.

"Cough…Alright Naruto-san." A Jounin carrying a sword said

"Yea let's see if this fox can back up his words." A Female with two vertical red triangles on her cheeks said with a feral grin

Inuzuka Tsume launched a Tsuga at the still form of Naruto. Who just easily ducked under the attack then launched a rising knee to the mid section of the spinning Tsume who then landed a couple feet away. Gai rushed in to engage, running with a standard right hook. Naruto sent his one left hook, at the last minute he swerved his fist slightly to the right and tilted his head slight to the right. Allowing Gai's punch to fly harmlessly by while Naruto slammed his fist into his gut. Sending the Green Beast flying backward into Kakashi, who just barely managed to catch Gai. Naruto then tilted his head to the right this time to dodge a sword strike. Grabbing the overextended arm with his right hand and jamming his left elbow back, Naruto proceeded to flip Hayate over his shoulder and slam him on the ground. Anko decided to use her Senei Jashu (19) with Kurenai using her Magen: Jubaku Satsu (20). Too bad for them the crashing form of Nara Shikaku came crashing into them. Chouza using a Bubun Baika no Jutsu (21) to enlarge his fist, tired to hammer fist the boy. Naruto using his speed quickly disappeared as the fist came crashing down, only to reappear behind Inochi and deliver a quick elbow to the back of his head knocking him out. Yugao shushin-ed behind the boy while bring down her ANBU blade down. Only to be stopped buy Naruto's Hand and a Quick snap kick toward her stomach. Hana quickly caught her flying friend as Asuma hopped over the two with his trench knives blazing with Chakra. Ibiki also charged in from the opposite side with a spiked hammer. Asuma went high while Ibiki went low, Naruto just leapt upward to evade both attacks only to meet Ebisu and a Katon: Gokakyuu no Jutsu. Only to have Naruto disappear then reappear and giving him a roundhouse kicks to the back launching him, toward Shibi. Sbibi just caught him with a cloud of bugs and set his fellow ninja down. Only to be kicked straight in to Ibiki and Asuma, while Naruto gave Ebisu a palm strike to the chest and launch him toward the prone forms of Hana and Yugao. Naruto then appeared in front of Chouza; grabbing the hefty man by the front of his shirt, he gave him one hell of a head butt that sent the big man a couple feet backwards. Kakashi meanwhile charged with Gai side by side only to have Naruto appear directly in front of them, clotheslining them both. In the span of less than five minutes all, the Jounin were on the floor stunned that they each hit the floor that fast. It wasn't that they couldn't continue as they could continue fighting just fine it was the effectiveness and viciousness at which the blows were dealt that stunned them.

"Please tell me that was not all you had to offer…if after all has only been a couple minutes." Naruto sad looking at the jonins scattered on the ground. He now stood rigidly with his arms crossed over his chest and eyes closed.

"Ma…ma you sure play rough don't you Naruto-san." Kakashi said as he started to get up

"You call that rough we just got our asses kicked by a little kid!" Anko said in a tone that said quite clearly 'WHAT THE FUCK!'

"You are putting it too lightly." Chouza said as he sat up right on the ground

"Yeah…troublesome." Shikaku just said still on his back look up at the clouds

"Well enough laying around we still…well you still have a couple hours of training to do…" Naruto said still in the same stance as before.

"YOSH! THE FLAMES OF YOUTH BURN BRIGHTLY!" Gai said automatically in his cool guy stance

"…But this time I'll be the aggressor." Naruto said before launching himself at Kakashi

"What?"


A Couple Hours Later…

Naruto could be seen walking down the streets with a glares of the citizens trying to mentally kill him. Apparently, after the first couple of drunks he sent to the hospital deteriorated all efforts to physically assault him. However, that didn't stop them from socially trying to excommunicate him, which also completely and utterly failed. For some reason that the citizens couldn't understand is that why would all the children that could walk flock to their 'Oni-Chan'. However, to them what was even weirder was when they saw Ninjas of various higher ranks actually paying respect to the demon brat.

Civilian's Point of View

Damn that Demon! We've tried everything to him.

Why do the children still hang around him?

Why do our ninjas honor him?

He's a beast we have to get rid of him!

Normal Point of View

"Pathetic shallow people. With the things they've pulled, they dare call me a demon! They aren't exactly hiding their feelings." Naruto thought morosely while walking down the street

"Oni-Chan! Oni-Chan! Come play with us!" the sound brought Naruto out of his musing as he saw a group of little kids running his way.

Happy kids always brought a smile to Naruto's face. He guessed it just attributed to the fact of his own horrendous childhood. With a smile on his face, he nodded toward the children that were beaming his way.

"Oni-Chan can you show us another one of you ninja moves?" Hanabi asked happily, as Naruto set her on his shoulders. Hanabi was apparently the leader of this little horde of children mainly because Naruto was her brother first and they all adored playing with him.

Naruto just smiled at his little 'siblings' apparently they all decided to adopt him as their brother.

"Sure." Naruto said cheerfully. The children then chirped in happiness, then grabbed his hands and led him toward a nearby park.

Upon reaching the park, the children instantly formed a semi-circle facing Naruto. It was almost comical to see such serious faces on a kid. That's alone made Naruto's smile even wider.

He cupped his hand in front of him and closed his eyes. Slowly a blue flame flicked into existence and grew until it was about the size of an egg. From that egg shape, it started to unwrap itself until it took the shape of a bird. Suddenly it jumped from his hands and circled overhead around the children growing bigger as it did so. Finally, it was about nine feet tall it landed behind Naruto in all its blue fiery glory. The children looked in what could be described as awe mixed in with curiosity.

"Go on you can pet him." Naruto said softly after a couple minutes. The Bird itself just bowed it head down to allow the little hand to run through it plumage.

Tentatively small hand reached out slowly hesitantly stroking the giant bird's neck. Slowly becoming more eager as more hands soon joined, as the bird crooned in joy.

"Her name is Hanagoori (22) she is one of my friends." Naruto said as he watched the children happily pet her.

"Wow what is she?" One of the kids asked in Awe

"She is made up of my energy so where ever I go she's always with me." Naruto said

"That's so COOL!"

"Sugoi!"

"I wanna grow up just like Oni-Chan"

"Yea then we can save the world and do cool things"

"Would you like to take ride on Hanagoori?" Naruto asked while the children just squeaked out their agreement in happiness

"Hanagoori can you take us around Konoha?" Naruto asked his familiar who just turned her head and looked at all the beaming children then nodded her head make the children cry out in joy and excitement

Naruto took a step back until he was standing next to the children. With wide eyes the group of thirteen children watched as Hanagoori grew larger and larger. Now the thirty-foot long bird just let the tip of her left wing touch the ground inviting the children to come on board. Once all the children were on her back, Naruto made a dome of Mana around them to create a centralized gravity to keep the kids firmly on the bird and not in the wind.

"Ok were ready." Once every one was seated, Naruto said to Hanagoori just nodded before leaping up and unfurling her wings. The children were screaming and crying out during the ride often peeking out over side to see the village.

Down below people were in stunned amazement as they saw the giant blue flaming bird fly over have. They could see neither Naruto nor the children riding up top of the majestic creature. That day many alike thought that this was just the famed Will of Fire and the spirit of Konoha itself flying above them.

'Like a phoenix from it ashes, Konoha rises again!' the Sandaime though as they looked through his crystal ball at the Bird and its companions

Elsewhere Hiashi could be seen wearing a cross between a smile and a smirk as he looked toward the sky with his Byakugan. 'You would be proud old friend'


In the Shadows of a region unknown, a figure crackled insanely in to the night.

"Yes...Yes…YES…I SHALL HAVE MY EDEN AS YOU SHALL HAVE YOUR DEATH." The baritone voice rang out.

"You shall feel my power…you shall see you were naught but a stepping stone for my accession…Uzumaki Naruto…My Brother. HAHAHAHA!" the mocking laughter continued

5 Kiiroi Senko – Yellow Flash

6 Hiraishin – Flying Thunder God – One of the Yondaime Hokage's signature moves. This one allowed him to move instantaneously using seals in a manner similar to the Kuchiyose no Jutsu

7 Rasengan – Spiral Sphere - This technique is unlike other jutsu in that it does not require any hand seals, it just relied on the ninja's ability to mold chakra. The ninja concentrates a contained, fast, rotating sphere of chakra in the palm of their hand, which can cause much destructive impact. However, in its current state it is unfinished because it lacks an element.

11 Zaiseikouhan – Living High Mountain

12 Kyoukage – Raging Shadow

13 Genken – War Dog

14 Soutourou –Two-head Wolf – The ultimate version of the Juujin Bushin transformations

15 Garouga – Dual Wolf Fang - Garouga is one of the ultimate Taijutsu techniques of the Inuzuka Clan. The technique is a super-spin and it uses up a massive amount of chakra, rendering the ninja and his dog almost helpless should the technique fail.

The clan member familiar will first mark their target with the Dainamikku Maakingu technique. Then by using Inuzuka Ryuu Chinjuu Konbi Henge, the clan member and his partner will transform into the Soutou Rou, "Two-Headed Wolf." This huge beast has several advantages; the saliva it emits will make it difficult for their opponent to find footing in the surrounding area. The large size of the beast also causes large amounts of penetrating damage when it begins its spin. Unfortunately, they spin so fast they are unable to keep track of their vision. Therefore, they must entirely rely on their nose and the urine marking. If Garouga connects with the target, the opponent is ripped to pieces. In addition, even if they do not connect directly, the surrounding shockwaves will slice into the enemy.

16 Gouonteikaitsu – Thunderous Roaring Cyclone

17 Tsuga – Piercing Fang – Part of the Inuzuka Clan Juujin Bushin fighting style. The user spins at ferocious speeds and hits their opponent head on, like a drill.

18 Gatsuga – Dual Piercing Fang - Gatsuuga is a supreme Taijutsu technique of the Juujin Bunshin style of combat. After the familiar transforms into a copy of the clan member, both the familiar and ninja will begin a spinning attack. The preferred time to attack is when their opponent is showing an opening. Using this chance the fast rotating of the two attackers will cause a damaging impact on their opponent when they connect with their claws. While using this technique, both attackers are able to rotate and strike from multiple angles.

19 Senei Jashu – Hidden Shadow Snake Hands - Senei Jashu is a Ninjutsu technique that manifests a snake, which extends from the sleeve. The ninja can extend these snakes to attack a target. Once extended the snake can bite into the target to hold and bind them.
