The next evening after telling her team to hide, they had left their nin animals with Hana Inuzuka, Yoshino was ready to pull her hair out. Now she knew how the ANBU felt trying to find Naruto. If the blonde didn't want to be found then you weren't finding him, period. He let Iruka Umino find him all the time, and pretended like he didn't know the Hokage was using his crystal ball to watch him. Sakuya was even worse than Naruto, as she had the benefit of being trained by Anko, and she had gotten some clan training before everything went to hell in Kiri. Apparently the Bikusen's had been exceptional at infiltration and espionage and Yoshino was beginning to believe it.

Kiba she wouldn't have thought could hide this well, but then again he hung out with Naruto and Sakuya, the fact that they could all do this wearing bright colors was truly telling, they'd decided to give her a sporting chance. They weren't even using any of Naruto's concealment seals. She couldn't sense their chakra either, " I can't believe I'm saying this but you three are troublesome. "

The Hokage had been called in to see if he could remedy the situation of Shikaku's office and he thanked his lucky stars that Naruto and Sakuya liked him, seeing this in his office would likely give him a heart attack, " Well, Shikaku, I can't help you. You always wanted to know how Naruto pulls his pranks, well, now you'll have to reverse engineer all of this, consider it an S-rank mission, as knowing the trio there will be some nasty surprises waiting for you. Pranking you was their genin test from Yoshino. "

Shikaku blinks at this, " That's why Naruto suddenly targeted me? I know Naruto generally only goes after those that mess with him or his friends, the few times he and my son have teamed up left me terrified and sympathetic towards their victims. "

" True, but through knowing Naruto and Sakuya Shikamaru is not as lazy as every other Nara out there. " Hiruzen states.

Of course the Hokage wasn't going to admit to the fact that he was using five genin that all should admittedly be chunin to help stave off an invasion. It also helped that Naruto happened to be a sealing master and Sakuya was well on her way to being a poison mistress. Shikamaru being insanely intelligent and willing to learn genjutsu was a boon. Choji would serve as Shikamaru's protector, seeing as how Choji happened to be a powerhouse and was a helluva a lot faster than he looked.

Then there was Kiba, whom had somehow mastered stealth and knew more taijutsu than he should at his age. He might have checked scrolls out from the library to learn more styles though. Naruto, he knew, had access to the Uzumaki and Namikaze scrolls, Sakuya had access to her clan's training scrolls, but they had never written down the secrets to their bloodline limit. She had all her clan's knowledge except for that, she'd had Naruto add more security seals to the huge scroll that all that knowledge was sealed into. Plus, she'd had him help make a new set of scrolls for her knowledge on poisons and antidotes. With security seals that only she and Naruto knew how to break.

Yoshino is about ready to pull her hair, how could three genin hide themselves so well, in kill me orange, that she couldn't find them. It made no damn sense. Now she knew how everyone that had ever chased Naruto felt. Only Sakuya could find him on a fairly regular basis. Naruto smirks from his position, Yoshino-sensei was going to regret trying to train them in stealth. He and Sakuya had been training Choji, Kiba, and Shikamaru in stealth for years now. They were all good at stealth.

Sakuya is lounging on a tree branch in plain view and yet her sensei couldn't find her. To be fair though Sakuya was completely suppressing her chakra and Yoshino-sensei didn't know she already knew the tree climbing exercise. Anko-nee had taught her and she had taught Naruto, Kiba, Choji, and Shikamaru. Shikamaru had then expounded upon that with water walking. They had all known that Naruto needed as many chakra control exercises as possible to even attempt to bring his massive reserves to heel.

Kiba smirks, he had his heart set on being a hunter nin, the stealth he had learned from Naruto and Sakuya had been a godsend, and no one ever was able to catch them when they didn't want to be caught. He was hidden in a dense copse of brush on the ground right behind Yoshino-sensei and she hadn't even spotted him. When he really worked at it not even his mother or sister could find him or Akamaru. He'd found a way to nullify their scents with chakra with Shikamaru and Sakuya's help.

Asuma Sarutobi walks by just then, " Decided to train their stealth, huh? Finding them is the initiation for ANBU recruits. Only Weasel was ever able to come close to finding Naruto. Admittedly Gazelle came close once as well, and he only found Mika. "

Yoshino stares at him, " You have got to be kidding me. Could Dog have found them? "

" Dog only found Sakuya once and triggered her trap which alerted her to move. " Asuma states.

" They're in kill me orange, they can't be that hard to find. " Yoshino states.

" Yet they have continually stymied all searchers for them for years. I honestly think you're shit out of luck if you want to find them. " Asuma remarks as Shikamaru walks by.

He had already spotted all three of his friends, though he wouldn't bust them, his mom had told him she was going to test their stealth. " You won't find them unless certain conditions occur and Naruto is forced to break cover. "

" Shika-kun, do you know where they are? " Yoshino asks.

" You are their sensei, Kaa-san, you find them, I won't do it for you, though if you're having trouble now what will you do when they actually dress for stealth? Naruto was forced to learn how to hide while wearing kill me orange, the rest of us thought if he could learn it then so could we. " Shikamaru says and starts signing fast, they'd developed their own signs, Meet at usual place, seven in the morning, we need to talk.

All three hidden genin stiffen at this and Sakuya signs back a confirmation. Either Shika had discovered something or thought up something and right now she wasn't sure which was worse at the moment. That was when she felt her kekkeigenkai activate, Naruto!

The blonde used the Hiraishin to get to her and lands in front of Asuma, " Asuma-sensei, go get Anko, now, have her meet us at the Hokage's office. " Naruto says, then he creates a shadow clone to go get Choji, the Taimubijon was starting to act up even more and this was not a good thing. Naruto shunshins off Kiba and Shikamaru not far behind him. Yoshino looks around in confusion before she follows her team.

Hiruzen sighs as he sees his five favorite genin and then notices the state Sakuya is in, once Anko has arrived he sends the ANBU out and activates the privacy seals, " Yoshino, Sakuya has the bloodline limit of Taimubijon, it allows her to see past, present, or future, however she is just as vulnerable as a Yamanaka with the mind transfer jutsu. She can feel it coming on and Naruto, being a sensor can sense it. None of the council can find out about this or else they will use Sakuya as breeding stock. "

Yoshino's eyes widen, " So everyone in this room knows the truth about Sakuya, this is why I was chosen to be their sensei. "

" Correct, kaa-san, I actually recommended you as their sensei. Infiltration and espionage are the specialties for your group, as you've already noticed they're exceptional at stealth, you couldn't find them and Kiba was behind you in the brush. What they need is someone who can help them strengthen their weaknesses and you should be good for that. " Shikamaru says.

" That actually makes sense, so you five know something about the fate of the village. " Yoshino says.

" Orochimaru will invade during the final phase of the Chunin Selection Exams, he's founded the village of Oto, or Sound. This is why we need an Infiltration and Espionage unit. " Hiruzen states.

" Orochimaru won't expect a bunch of kids to be able to thwart him, he also wants emo boy for his new body, we're hoping being stuck with two of his fan girls will knock some sense into him, plus Kakashi has strict orders to whip them all into shape. Inoichi and Iruka are the only other ones who know about Sakuya's bloodline limit, we need to keep it this way. " Naruto states firmly.

" I can understand that. We definitely do not need them turning Sakuya into a breeding machine. Anything else I need to know about? "

Kiba sighs, " I'd like to train on learning how to fight without the use of my sight. It would be too easy for someone to use a flash tag to knock our vision out. Sure, I have my nose, but I would still like to be able to fight by sound alone, plus, Oto will probably be able to do something like that. Naruto is a sensor nin, Sakuya and I however should probably learn this, though Naruto should probably come up with a seal that can stop sound waves from affecting a ninja's balance. "

Naruto groans at this, " Damn, I hate that you're right about that, Kiba. Now, anyone have any useful info on Danzo, I've noticed his Ne following me several times, or rather my shadow clones as I'm an expert at the substitution. I'm not going to let that old war hawk turn me into a weapon with no emotions. "

Shikamaru smirks, " That's why I wanted us to meet tomorrow, thanks to you I always have one shadow clone henged into someone innocuous running around and my clone heard Danzo and the elders talking. They actively had you sabotaged during the academy until you started using seals to make sure you got the proper grades. "

Naruto's blue eyes narrow and the elder ninja are reminded of Minato with that look. Apparently Naruto was going to go to war on Danzo and the interfering elders. " Get me a copy of that seal Danzo uses to keep his subordinates quiet and I'll come up with a counter for it. Then we'll see if we can't get them rehabilitated and back into proper society. Anko, how's Sakura doing? "

Anko grins at this before she sobers as she looks at Sakuya, the longer she was under the worse the vision was, " Pinky has received a rude awakening and I expect her mother will be bitching about it soon. "

" Well, what do all these civilians expect? Their children are training to be killers which means hard work not just seduction and flower arranging, book smarts will only get them so far, it why Shinrei was so refreshing, he put in the hours necessary to actually become a ninja, unlike the fan girls. " Shikamaru states.

Choji sighs, " I hate to say this but the training at the academy sucks. Everyone that passed this time had natural talent in either taijutsu, ninjutsu, or kenjutsu. We basically only learned theory which is how Sakura made it. "

" Why does the Civilian Council set the standards at a ninja academy anyhow? " Kiba asks.

" They seized that power after the fourth died and I haven't been able to seize it back, now with Naruto's new seals and the Nara Clan Elders willing to help me read through all the decrees that have passed in the last twelve years I may be able to do something about that. " Hiruzen states.

Naruto walks over to his father's picture, " Old Man, we're going to have a lot of work to do to even make some headway in all of this and be ready for Orochimaru's invasion, though if we were to find a way to share missions with Sand, we could stave off them joining him since their Daimyo is being a jackass. "

" I'll send an emissary to our Daimyo and to the Kazekage and hope that Orochimaru has yet to replace him. " Hiruzen states.

" Oh, Old Man, Sakuya and I have been training Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon since we got our headbands. We want to make it so at least some of the upcoming ninja can defend themselves properly plus Ebisu sucks as a teacher. He doesn't seem to understand that it takes hard work to get to the Hokage position or any other rank. We have them working on chakra control exercises for the moment, though we also have them doing observation exercises and if either of the other two elders says something in front of their grandchildren we'll know as they all adore me. " Naruto says, smirking.

" That's actually smart because most adults speak in front of children thinking that they can't understand what they're hearing, but they can, plus they're the honorable grandchildren. " Shikamaru says.

" True, everyone always underestimates children and if these three can give us an advantage here we need to take it. " Kiba states.

Just then Sakuya groans and flashes her hands through the appropriates sequence of hand seals to show everyone her latest vision. " Dammit, I am not letting that snake kill you, Old Man. Now that we know we need to take the appropriate steps to make it so that you can't be trapped with him alone. "

" How could we possibly pull that off though? " Shikamaru asks.

Naruto smirks, " By placing disruption seals where those four will stand and giving Konohamaru the activation seal. I'll have to up his chakra control training and make sure he has enough to activate the control seal and defend himself and others. I'll have to put the Konohamaru Corps through the ringer, we're going to need them and soon. "

Hiruzen sighs at this, " I hate that you're right about that, but they will be needed. "

At the home of Koharu Utatane:

" We can't spy on our old teammate anymore. "

" The old fool must have gotten specially made seals from the new seal master in Konoha that is only known by a codename. He's keeping us shut out and I don't like it. " Danzo Shimura says.

Homura Mitokado sighs, " I can understand him keeping you shut out, Danzo, but we're his advisors. "

Unknown to any of them Udon and Moegi were both listening in on this conversation. " Still, I can't believe he allows Uzumaki to act as he has been. It is disgraceful, he should never have been allowed to join the regular forces and been forced into Ne. " Koharu says.

" I don't care if the brat is the Fourth's son, he is a weapon and nothing more. I will get that brat into my Ne. " Danzo says.

" Careful, is Hiruzen gets ahold of that he will permanently end your Ne, and Ibiki would love to help with that as well. " Homura states.

Moegi and Udon leave quietly and go to find their boss. Naruto needed to know this now. Thankfully Naruto had taught them stealth as well.

Haruno Home:

Sakura Haruno barely manages to drag herself home, Anko-sensei was a sadist. She seriously didn't care about her looks and made them train hard. Tei Hamaki and Umi Ishiyama were in the same shape as her. Her mother had told her being a kunoichi was just using her feminine wiles and letting the men do all the fighting. Ha, her mother had yet to meet Anko, though if she got strong enough maybe Sasuke would finally look at her.

" Sakura, dear, are you all right? " her mother, Ayame Haruno asks.

" Just training, Anko-sensei says that if I want to be a kunoichi then I have to get in shape and learn how to fight myself. That kunoichi don't just seduce or sit back and let the men do all the work. Kunoichi learn how to defend themselves and kick ass as well. I'll stick with this because think of how much stronger I'll be and then Sasuke-kun will be mine. " Sakura states.

" Who ended up on Sasuke-sama's team? "

" Mai and Zai Takara. " Sakura tells her mother.

Hokage's Office:

Naruto blinks when one of his shadow clones teleport in with Udon and Moegi, " What they have to say can't wait and is vital. " the clone says and dispels himself.

" Moegi, Udon, what is it? " Naruto asks.

" We heard Danzo and our grandparents talking, Danzo wants to get you into his Ne and he said he didn't care if you were the Fourth's son, that you were a weapon and nothing more. " Udon reports.

Hiruzen's eyes sharpen, " Well, I can finally kill Danzo as he revealed an S-class secret. "

" No, killing him is too easy. This man likes to think he is so smart, well, let's beat him at his own game. " Shikamaru says.

Sakuya grins weakly, " I like the way you think, Shika. So, how will we lead the War Hawk into our trap? "

" Oh, we'll need the gossiping Ino for this, though she won't know that she's being used as a pawn. " Shikamaru says.

" Yeah, but we can't do this all alone, sure we have the Konohamaru Corps but we need another team that we can trust to keep their mouths shut. " Kiba states.

" Kurenai's team, though Sakuya will have to work on getting Hinata out of her shell and bolstering her confidence. The Hyuuga Clan has really screwed up with her. " Choji suggests.

Sakuya sighs, " Then she needs to get out of that festering hellhole. She's a ninja under your command now, get her out of there, Old Man, and I'll see if I can't get that confidence up to where it should be and also see if I can't find a taijutsu style better suited to her. "

" Why? "

" Because the gentle fist is rigid and unforgiving, while Hinata is very limber and fluid in her movements, the girl is a water element and they can't see that this is why she has such a hard time with the Gentle Fist and then don't even get me started on the stupidity of the Caged Bird Seal. What if a Main Branch member gets caught or if a cadet branch member is subdued, the seal is just a stupid method of control to keep the stronger members under control, look at Neji, though if Naruto could get rid of that stupid seal… " Sakuya states.

Naruto grins, " I found my Dad's notes on that and have finished his work, though with the way that Hiashi is allowing Hinata to be treated I may just free Neji for the moment and make it so none of Hinata's children could ever have said seal applied. "

" Good, if we could get that stick out of Neji's ass that would be extremely helpful. " Kiba states.

Choji sighs, " We still have to make sure we root out all problems internally, otherwise all of this will be for naught. "

Moegi grins, " Leave that to us, everyone speaks up around kids, and Academy students, well, civilians talk carelessly around us all the time. "

" I could also use my fox summons to get some intel as well, especially about Danzo. Though how your advisors and he could order the execution of the Uchiha Clan is beyond me, I thought only the Hokage and the ANBU commander had the authority to order an ANBU? " Sakuya muses out loud.

" I am very displeased with them over that. Sakuya, can you have your foxes infiltrate the civilian councilors home and see what kind of skeletons they can unearth. "

" Got it, Old Man. Naruto could send in some transformed shadow clones as well. " Sakuya says, the cogs churning in her brain quickly. They needed to come up with some way to root out all the trouble and to deal with Oto. Plus, getting some confidence into Hinata would go a long way towards having this generation be strong.

Yoshino groans, " So in other words we're going to be doing some serious house cleaning. This should be fun, so I have to get my team up to speed really fast, huh? "

" It would be appreciated, Yoshino, start them on their elements. " Hiruzen states.

" Got it, they need to be accelerated, though we'll train at night so they can continue to work on this as well as train the Konohamaru Corps. " Yoshino confirms.

Sakuya yawns, " Can we end this now, I need some serious sleep. "

" The genin and academy students are dismissed. " Hiruzen says.

Naruto and Sakuya were gone in mere moments, reappearing in his apartment where Naruto activates all of his seals, " You all right, Kuya? "

" I will be when I can get some sleep, I've never had this many visions this quickly. " Sakuya says, letting herself be vulnerable, Naruto keeps her steady, he knew Sakuya hated being vulnerable.

" Kuya, you need to eat before you can sleep. "

" Then feed me, but the instant you move I'm dropping, that vision took a helluva lot out of me. " Sakuya says.

Naruto creates a couple of shadow clones to cook a light meal for them and he heads over to his couch and gets them both seated. Sakuya was asleep as soon as she ate. Naruto switches with a clone and heads to bed, he knew Sakuya had to find a way to control her bloodline limit soon or it might kill her. Of course, it would help if she had an older relative that could teach her. She was now using meditation to try and gain some control and she continually increased her reserves to keep ahead of the strengthening visions.

If only they could find an older member of her clan though the odds of one surviving all this time during the bloodline purges in Kiri were astronomical. Although that wasn't counting the War Hawk or the Snake Pedo. It would be just like them to poach from families with strong bloodlines. He'd have his clones go through Danzo's records and if he found any Bikusen's within Ne there would be hell to pay, as Sakuya would rip Danzo a new one, especially if there were any younger than her.

Ne HQ:

Aria Bikusen glares at her bedroom wall, if Danzo thought he could break her then he was in need of some serious therapy because Bikusen's did not break due to their visions and thanks to the red headed girl that was a sealing expert she didn't have any of those stupid seals on her just an illusion seal that made it seem like they were there. They were planning on busting out soon but it wouldn't be easy, the old fool watched them too closely. Aria sees a mouse just then and she blinks, her vision, " Naruto, listen carefully, my name is Aria Bikusen and I'm pretty sure I have an Uzumaki as my surrogate sister, you have to get us out of here. "

The mouse transforms back and motions to her to join the red head sleeping across the room and then he uses Hiraishin to get to Naruto's apartment. Five minutes later two Ne recruits discover the room empty of its occupants and due to the seals that the red head had used there was no evidence left behind either. Danzo-sama would not be pleased with this development.

The red head looks around her in awe while Naruto walks out, " Who are you two? "

" I'm Aria Bikusen and I know she is an Uzumaki as she eradicated the seals on us and used an illusion seal to make Danzo think they were still there. We've been trying to escape for years now. "

" The red head sleeping on my couch, using my shadow clone as a pillow is Sakuya Bikusen, do you know how to control your bloodline limit because Sakuya doesn't, she had no one to teach her. " Naruto says.

" My father used a jutsu to teach me how to control it and use it. "

" Could you cast a genjustu showing Sakuya what you saw? "

Aria blinks at this, that was actually a decent idea. Her eyes snap open and she grins, they'd be out soon. She'd be on the lookout for that mouse. She loved her visions. To think she still had family out there.
