Chapter 2
Uzumaki Naruto, The Silent King of Blood, future leader of the council of nine, was bored… very, very bored. It was the second day of the mission to wave, currently he was sitting up a tree staring up at the stars it was the middle of the night and he was wide awake, and still bored. Canceling a few seals he took of his chest and back plate and started summoning iron. Working slowly and methodically he began adding designs. On the chest there was a man standing with his arms out to the side standing in what could only be described as hell itself. On the back plate 15 tails formed together into intricate seals designed to make the armor weightless when activated. After all his armor was extremely compressed iron and very thick making it weighed over 30 tons. (Continuous chakra molding to keep things he's standing on from breaking, training even when standing still.) 'I miss dreaming…and the bliss of sleep' Naruto thought to him self 'its just part of being a demon, but damn it makes the years long.' Naruto sat in the tree for a few more hours until early morning when he left to hunt.
Kurenai opened her eyes after Naruto left 'what are you hiding Naruto, what do you see' she thought as she got up and did her normal stretches. Soon Naruto was back carrying deer meat in a leather bag. Tazuna and the genins woke up to the smell of cooking meat, looking over to their mysterious teammate, the found him cooking on a metal frying pan that nether of them were sure where he got. Team 8 was startled when he spoke "if you want breakfast come and get it."
Kurenai was the first to try it "Naruto what is this, this is the best food I've ever tasted!" Shinos eye brows went up slightly after trying some of the meat. Hinata and Tazuna agreed by nodding there head as they ate. After eating the camp was packed up and every one set out. While they were packing no noticed the frying pan loose its shape and become a part of Narutos armor again.

If there was one thing Sandaime hated more then paperwork it was council meetings, the heads of every clan gathering together to discus the well fair of the village. At least that was the idea it was established with. What it really was, was the clan heads gathering to argue with each other, about everything they could think of. The only thing most of them could agree on was the vote to send hunter-nin after the "demon brat". Of cource it was easy to veto that by reminding them that Naruto wasn't a ninja when he left so the hunters couldn't be used.
Now though the monkey had a slight problem; the council found out that Naruto was back, and they still wanted him dead. 'I hope this gamble works' he thought to himself as his mind wondered back to the conversation Naruto and he had.
flash back-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was late night when Sarutobi and Naruto sat down in his office. Late night because that's the only time when no one brought him any paperwork. Out of the blue Naruto asked a question "do you ever see them… their eyes staring at you, almost like silent accusations" "who's eyes" "the eyes of the dead, its almost like they follow me, men, woman, children, they all stare at me, there eyes are glazed but so very piercing" Sandaime was shocked this was a true look behind the new mask Naruto had in place. "Naruto you know as ninja we all must kill at some point" "yes I know, and I know it well but how many ninja have killed over 20 thousand people decimated 2 hidden villages in less the 20 years" "point taken and yes I've seen them, but not often"
Naruto leaned back in his chair pulling a book out from a pocket in his cargo pants (armors not activated)flipped threw for a minute before marking a page a tossing it on the desk between them. "They've stared at me for so long but some are newer then others" Sarutobi absently noted that it was a bingo book before opening it to the marked page.

"It seems that name follows me around, even threw time, funny really." "Naruto, why is it that they assume you're a man" "because I can be what ever I want to be, and who ever I want to be." Naruto leaned forward slightly, and Sandaime was staring at a mirror image of himself in Narutos clothing. Just to prove his point Naruto changed again into the female ANBU that was guarding the door. "And no it's not a Henge; I know how you think old monkey, because I've been you, I know everything about you every thing you know, even every crush you've had, and I must say shame on you for going peeking with Jiraiya" his form changing back to normal. "So you have no true form of your own" "not any more, this form is just what I once was"
"It's sad really how much I miss just being me; instead I'm just the shadow, the ultimate spy" Sarutobi watched silently as a sad smile spread across Narutos face "to see the world in an instant, to look back and wonder did I do the right thing, I may have done the right thing at the time but the eye still stare at me with tears, tears of blood"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Naruto I hope you can live with me after this and maybe you can enjoy the time this buys you' Sandaime thought to himself before yelling at the council to be silent "you all wish me to sentence death on one Uzumaki Naruto, and you all know that I wont, to that end I propose a challenge after he becomes a chunin he will be give 10 S-ranked missions, but if he complete all of them then he will be under my authority and mine alone" the clan head looked back and forth at each other each having the same thought 'there's no way he could survive that many high level missions' and one after another they all agreed to the challenge but before they dispersed Sarutobi had them all sign a contract for it.

Shino was leading point Kurenai and Hinata were walking beside Tazuna and Naruto was rear guard, when they walked past two puddles in a place that hadn't rained for weeks. After they passed the demon brothers jumped out of the puddle and wrapped their chain around Naruto and tried to rip him to peaces, but his armor was to strong to be cut. They had no time to react when Naruto grabbed both ends of the chain and whipped them forwards and with one punch each shattered both of their ribs. All of this happened in the time it took Kurenai to turn around.
"Kurenai-san you might want to take the client and the genin farther up the road" Kurenai looked sharply at him "why" "torture and interrogation is hardly something genins should see, do you know what the maximum range of the Byakugan" at Kurenais nod he finished his sentence "please take them a little farther then that" Kurenai nodded and led the rest of them away.
"I will give you eight chances to tell me what I want to know before even the best medic-nin won't be able to save you" Naruto said as he dragged the demon brothers over to a tree and tied them up. "Now what I want to know is simple, who hired you, how many missing-nin did he hire, who are the missing-nin, and how many other people does he have" the demon brothers said nothing but glared up at him.
"Tell me, what do you know about resonant frequency?" the brother defiant looks melted away into blank looks before returning to glares. "Nothing I see. You see everything vibrates at a certain rate, a frequency, and slowly it shakes itself to peaces over time" reaching out Naruto placed one finger on the older brother, Gozu, metal mask and it started vibrating "and if you change that frequency just a bit it shatters, violently" as the metal mask shattered sending shards of metal every where.
"Now I'm going to start on your left leg starting with your calf before moving to your thigh then doing the same to your other leg moving on to your arms starting with your for arm moving up to the upper arm and after doing the same to the other arm I will then shatter your spine the fragments of your spine will most likely shred most of your non critical organs making your death slow and painful, and then I will move on to you brother Meizu and starting the process all over again"
One finger was placed just above the brother's ankle and the bone started vibrating letting out a pained grown that turned into a loud scream as the bones in his calf shattered turning the inside of his leg into ground meat. The pained scream reached the others and seemed to chill there blood.
Naruto moved his finger up the leg and placing it just above the knee. "This is your second chance." The second blood curdling scream was grating on Meizu. Torn between his loyalty to his brother fear of Zabuza, and his new fear of the armored genin.
Naruto had finished both arms and legs and was about to shatter his spine when Meizu snapped "I'll tell you just don't kill him, please don't kill him." Naruto removed his finger from the withering and broken body of Gozu. Naruto just looked at Meizu and he started speaking as fast as possible to save his brother. "We were hired by Gato to kill the bridge builder; he only has three others, Momochi Zabuza, a girl named Haku, and Kaguya Kimimaro. The only others he has are bandits and samurai wannabes, that's all I swear" Naruto nodded manipulating the metal of his armor he formed claws on the ends of his fingers and the fingers locked into place forming his hands li8ke shovels, driving them for wards severing the demon brothers heads. "I hope you find peace in the after life" he said as he formed two new seals on his left thigh to hold there heads.
A short walk latter and he was beside his team once more "The Gato Shipping Company, run by Gato who specializes in drug trafficking, and slave labor" Kurenai nodded then said "when are you dropping the bad news" "Momochi Zabuza his apprentice Haku a girl that like to pretend to be a guy, and Kaguya Kimimaro"
Naruto head turned to Tazuna "I will continue this mission, but it has become an A-ranked mission, I expect payment when you get the funds"

In Konoha
Sandaime was just sitting down to a meeting with Kakashi "I don't know what to do with him now; I've tried damn near everything I can think of to get threw to the kid, I've focused on him pretty much all of my attention, I'm getting away with it so fart because Kiba can train himself, and Sakura spends all her time staring at Sasuke" Sarutobi nodded in understanding "and she's my next problem after I get threw to him Ill have to break her out of fangirlism, and while I do that sasuke will probably back slide again." As Kakashi was speaking the Hokage was remembering a different conversation
"I've seen everything, old monkey, from the beginning to the end, watched the elemental countries burn to the ground, all because of ambitions, one of them even clamed that he wished to create a world without sin, noble thought but imposable, for to create that place there would have to be no humans. But truly the most common reason is revenge; coincidently it is the worst reason for ambition, in the case of Sasuke his brother killed his family, but on the path of his revenge how many families did he destroy, how many lives did he ruin in the same way as his brother. Now multiply those by how many do the exact same thing trying to get revenge for something. When you consider it all, the ambition to kill one man ended up killing hundreds. The best part of Sasukes whole ambition, and world… it's all based off a lie, Itachi wasn't even there the night of the massacre, he was still on mission with the ANBU, and he was closer to mist then Konoha when it happened"
"I was there at the beginning of the world I watched things the Kyuubi wasn't even there for I saw noble deaths, but the ugly head of politics almost made it meaningless, humans there own worst enemy, emotions their greatest strength, yet their greatest weakness"
Sandaime just sighed "just try your best Kakashi Ill see if I can find some one else to help but until then your on your own" "I'm trying but I hope you find someone soon before he slips any farther"
"I find it sad, old monkey, I've tried to become other things, but I always end up the destroyer, it seems to be all I'm truly good at, death is my life, just a blade with a damaged sheath"
