Review and Remember my Challenges! They're on my profile page.

Tsunade waited until the Council was seated and quiet. With them were also Shizune, Kakashi and Jiraiya. Also there was head of Root Danzo. Once people were listening did Tsunade speak. "I've summoned you to discuss about the incident concerning the Daimyo of the country that houses Takigakure."

Koharu, one of the Elders and the late 3rd Hokage's teammate, spoke up, "Why? Are we in danger of being invaded?"

Tsunade shook her head. "No. The reason why I summoned you all was because we may have found out who is responsible for this…or at least a theory." When no one said anything, she continued. "We believe it may be the Whirlpool Nation, in other words the Uzumaki Clan."

There was silence for a few seconds before the whole room exploded with voices, people talking to each other and asking questions. When Tsunade calmed everyone down Homaru, the other elder, spoke. "How is this possible Tsunade? No word has been heard from the Whirlpool nation in years."

Tsunade sighed. "I know, which makes this all the more difficult. If it really is them then we have a problem, especially since they wielded the Buki Ruko Keiro (Weapons of the Six Paths)."

Some of the younger civilian members had blank looks on their faces. Jiraiya sighed and explained. "They are powerful weapons that were wielded by the Sage of the Six Paths, and the Uzumaki Clan acquired them somehow, apparently during the clan's founding. Also the Samurai of the country have a special division called the Alpha Core, elite samurai who wear armor that negates ninjutsu and genjutsu. Also their ninjas are very skilled in combat as well. If they attacked us in full force they we wouldn't last a week."

A lot of the Council members were getting nervous. Finally one of them spoke. "Isn't there something that we can do?"

Tsunade shook her head. "I'm afraid not. We did have an alliance with them once but since communication was lost so many years ago I don't know what would happen. And we have no idea who their leader is right now so negotiations would be near to impossible."

Danzo felt like there was more to this then Tsunade was letting on. "I'm sure you have more to reveal to us then just that piece of bad news."

Tsnuade glared at the old man before pulling something out of her pocket and placing it on the desk. When she moved her hand she revealed it was the First Hokage's necklace. "I believe Naruto Uzumaki may be among their ranks."

This earned some gasps from the whole council, each with different feelings in them. Danzo was angry that not only was the boy alive, but not under his control like he had planned all those years ago. The Clan Leaders were feeling regret of not standing up for the boy all those years ago, as it was clear he might come back to the village for revenge. The civilians were angry that the boy was not dead and scared of what would happen if he came back.

Shikkaku head of the Nara Clan sighed. "This is such a drag. Though we shouldn't be relax, I doubt that Naruto would want to attack the village. He loved Konoha too much…despite certain people's harsh words towards him." He said the last part while looking at the Civilian section.

Tsunade sighed. "I hope you're right Shikkaku-san, I really do." Then she turned to the rest of the council. "What has happened here is to be kept a secret until we can think of some way to protect ourselves. None of you can tell a soul out here what so ever. Is that clear?"

Everyone shook their heads and they were dismissed, escorted by Shizune. Kakashi also left as well leaving just Tsunade and Jiraiya, and Tonton. The Toad Sage looked at his old teammate. "Any idea of how to deal with this Tsunade?" He asked.

Tsunade shook her head. "No idea. Right now I need a drink." As she poured herself one she thought to herself, 'What's happened to you Naruto?'

Soza Uzumaki, uncle to Naruto Uzumaki, watched from a distance as the Village hidden in the Waterfall burned out in the distance. He wore a black bandana with Uzushiogakure's symbol on it. His red hair went down to his neck and he wore a blue shirt underneath a black coat. Also he had black gloves and black pants too. Strapped to his back was a large Nodachi.

This reminded him a lot of the stories he heard as a kid when a force of both Kumo-nin and Iwa-nin attacked Uzushiogakure. He remembered how he and his sister had fled with their parents and when they decided to live in Konoha. However he began to develop a hatred for Konoha, they were their allies, why didn't they come to Uzu's aid? And when he heard that Kushina's son was still alive he wanted to make all haste to Konoha and retrieve him. However he knew that Naruto would be safer in Konoha until the Whirlpool Country was properly rebuilt. He also knew that he wouldn't force Naruto to do anything that wasn't in his best interest. It was Naruto's decision to do this and Soza would help Naruto see the world united under his rule.

A Jonnin suddenly appeared from behind him. "Soza-san, I've come with a report."

Soza nodded, "Speak" He ordered.

The Jonnin nodded. "Yes sir. We've taken out their leader with ease and our currently rounding up any of the wounded or civilians and taking them to the camps. But a small yet significant group is holding out at the center of the village. And they're being led by their jinchuriiki, Fu, container of the Seven-tails."

Soza sighed. He wished that the girl had turn over to their side when he first met her. But alas she was determined to make a difference in her village and have her comrades recognized her as a fellow ninja. "I will deal with her. Surround them and cut them off from retreating. We need to finish this quick before the country chooses a new Daimyo."

Fu was breathing deeply as she took out another kunai. The enemy, whoever they were, was completely destroying the village. So far only twenty of them, including herself, were still standing and able to fight. But for how long she had no idea, especially now that Shibuki, the only person to treat her nicely, was dead.

"Fu, the enemy seems to be encircling us!" A jonnin reported. True enough instead of attacking directly the enemy was encircling them, cutting them off from escaping. However through the flames engulfing the village a single person could be seen making his way towards them. But the worse part was the killer intent he was giving off; it was incredible, hell several experience jonnin were having trouble keeping conscious just from the mere presence of the man. Fu however retained her composure and stood firm, holding a brave face on.

Soza paused and looked at them. Then he spoke. "Shinobi of Takigakure, surrender to the might of the Uzumaki, and your lives shall be spared."

Fu smirked and said, "Don't underestimate the power of Taki-nin bastard." The other ninjas nodded and prepared for a fight. Soza merely sighed and raised his fist, getting ready to do a punch.

Closing his eyes Soza said, "Then you leave me no choice." His eyes open. "But to put you down like rebels!" Then he thrust his fist forward, and when he did a powerful sonic blast radiated from the punch, blasting some, if not all the ninjas into the air. The blast even began to shatter the ground beneath them. Fu however remained where she was and charged towards Soza. 'This guy is strong' She thought. 'Better use version 2 and finish him off.'

Suddenly red chakra began to cover her body and became darker. Soon her entire body was covered in red chakra and she sprouted all seven of her wings. She used her increased speed to try and tackle the man, but Soza managed to get out of the way. Then before Fu could react, Soza landed a powerful punch into her rib, even managing to break the chakra cloak that surrounded her. The resulting impact caused her to crash into the ground and created a small barrier. But Fu wasn't done yet, using her remaining willpower she began to form a tail beast bomb. Soza saw this and lifted his leg and brought it down onto her chest hard, crushing her lungs and stomach. Now all Fu had left to say was large amount of blood coming out of her mouth. The last thing she saw before darkness consumed her was Soza opening a scroll.

As Soza watched the life fade from Fu's eyes he opened the scroll and performed several hand signs. "Grand Chain Imprisonment Jutsu!" And suddenly dozens of chains began to pour out of the scroll and towards Ful. When they touched her a red sphere of demon chakra began to slowly come out. When it was fully out of Fu's body the chains began to wrap around it until it was completely covered up in chains and pulled back into the scroll, which Soza promptly rolled back up. "Don't worry Chomei-san, you'll be well treated amongst the Uzumaki." He said

Back in Konoha in the Hyuga Compound, Hinata was hard at work practicing her gentle fist style. Her jacket was off thus revealing her fishnet and blue shirt underneath it. Sweat ran down her face as she continued training. As she did she thought of Naruto and how proud he would be of her and how strong she got…that is, if he was even still alive.

"Hinata" A familiar voice said. Hinata turned around to see her father, Hiashi, staring at her. The look in his eye meant that he had to talk to her about something important and something bad. "Can we talk in my office?" He asked.

Hinata nodded and followed him towards his private studies. When they arrived Hiashi sat in his chair while Hinata stood before him, a glare in her face. Hiashi did not let this go unnoticed but never the less continued. "It has come to my attention that you have severely beaten many villagers of Konoha in the past few years."

Hinata raised an eyebrow. "And you decide to discuss this with me now?" She asked.

Hiashi's eye twitched but remained calm. "I've only denied talking to you about it because I would've figured that you would have cease this infatuation over Naruto Uzumaki even though it's been three years since his death."

Hinata glared at her father. "We don't know for sure if he is dead." She said defiantly.

The Head of the Hyuga Clan shook his head. "Whether or not he's alive is not the case here. The fact is that if you continue this absurd behavior I will be force to take drastic measures to make sure that you do not tarnish the name of the Hyuga."

Hinata clenched her fist but then relaxed it. "I shall be sure to keep that in mind father. May I go now?" She asked defiantly.

Hiashi couldn't help but wonder at what happened to her daughter these past three years. 'A good bet it was that fox brat.' He thought to himself but said nothing. "Yes you are dismissed." He said.

Hinata did a quick bow and headed out the door, not even looking back at her father who still eyed her carefully.

Back in the Whirlpool, more precisely at the main harbor of the country, was Naruto Uzumaki, watching as the last ship was being loaded up with supplies and the men were boarding it. Naruto had a look of determination and he stood straight up without bending his body.

"Naruto-sama" A voice said. Naruto turned around to see a man approaching him. He was about his size and appeared to be in his mid-twenties. He wore a red military uniform and a small blue cape. He had a sword strapped to his side and had red curly hair. He was Senryaku Uzumaki head of the Whirlpool intelligence division. "Ah Senryaku-san, I was wondering when you would get here."

The man had a look of urgency on his face. "I implore you Naruto-sama. Please remain within the palace. If you go out to the other nations then I cannot promise you your safety." Senryaku said.

Naruto smiled as he continued to watch the ship being loaded. "I assure you I shall be fine. Besides a girl I've been thinking about is there and I want to see her again." Naruto said.

Senryaku raised an eyebrow and smirked. "You mean Hinata Hyuga." It was not a question.

Naruto nodded and boarded the ship leaving his strategist behind. Before he got on fully he looked down at Senryaku. "I trust the mobilization of our army to you Senryaku-san."

The man bowed. "I shall not fail you Naruto-sama."

Well what do you think? Also don't forget my two challenges.
