AN: Hey sorry for the delay. For some reason it wouldn't let me update.

Chapter four

Sarutobi waited eagerly for Kakashi's return. It had already been two days and he received a note form Kakashi saying that he was on his way back. He was anxious to see Naruto. He was hoping the boy would be all right after all the time away from the village by himself. He wasn't the only one waiting for his return. A certain white-eyed girl we all know and love was practically living at the front gate in the hope that he would one day return to her. But the more logical part of her knew that was not happening judging from what she witnessed the day he left. "Oh Naruto-kun…Please be okay…"

There was also another child there. A certain sole survivor of a certain massacre of a certain Sharingan using clan. He stood to the left of Sarutobi quietly awaiting the return of the loud mouth blonde so he could ask the kid why he would offer to be his friend…It confused him because unlike all the others, this kid when he offered his friendship didn't show any signs of that meaningless pity that was present in all the others.

After what seemed like an eternity of waiting, Two figures could be seen on the horizon. Sarutobi took note of the small figure and smiled. Same with the girl and the boy just continued to stare on. Waiting. They waited for twenty more minutes until the figures were close enough to be seen. Once the three looked at them they were disappointed. There were in deed two figures and a little boy but this on was not Naruto. On top of that, the ANBU he sent out with Kakashi was limping and dragging Kakashi and another Nin from Kiri. They both had annoyed looks on their faces and the ANBU looked beyond pissed. Kakashi and the Kiri Nin were bound together in grey metal the looked like it was recently melted.

The girl sighs sadly while the other boy looks away disappointed. Sarutobi looks down at Kakashi and the Kiri Nin. "What happened?"

(Scene change)

After a minute of staring at four of the most identical children they had ever seen the guards opened the gates for them to pass through. They even had on identical white T-shirts with an orange swirl and black shorts.

"Weird…" says one of the guards once the children were in the village.

The first thing Naruto and his siblings do when inside the village was to find something to eat. Naruto had to explain to them what that deep feeling in their stomachs was and he also told them what to do when eating to avoid choking. Reiven didn't pay much attention since eating came instinctively to him when he took Zabusa's food. When Naruto suggested that they get some ramen they all eagerly agreed.

"Yeah I've been meaning to ask you nii-san what Ramen is. Ever since we were made, something in my head tells me I want ramen," says Akira. Naruto smiles and directs them to the nearest ramen stand…"

The clones were amazed.

"WOW! AMAZING! THIS STUFF WAS MADE FOR GODS!!!" yells Reiven excitably. Naturo and Akira were pretty much the same while Naruto just sweat drops.

It was evident that they had never eaten before so the sense of taste was a whole new concept for them. Even Reiven who didn't know different food had different tastes. All four of them tore into bowl after bowl of ramen with a gusto that amazed yet scared the owner at the same time. They were completely oblivious to the awed stares they were getting. That is until the whispers of "No way they're going to break HIS record!"

"What are you serious? HIM?"

"This could be trouble."

"Who cares? Its about time if you ask me."

The four siblings carried on with their frivolous eating. Happy to put on a show for everyone and resumed their eating simultaneously.

Ten minutes later the four were still eating. Having long since broke the record judging from the excited whispers. They were each on their seventeenth bowl a feat that should be impossible but for these four it wasn't. For Naruto it was mainly because he pretty much ate ramen his whole life and there fore could eat vast amounts of it. The clones because their brains were overloaded from the taste and could not stop them selves and the only thing that could satisfy the overwhelming desire have that flavor on their tongues was to keep a steady flow of that flavor. Also they are clones of Naruto.

The attention they were getting didn't go unnoticed as a chubby boy with orange hair approaches.

"Hey what's going on in here?! Who do toy think you are?!" yells the chubby boy as Naruto, Reiven, Akira and Naturo all finish their eighteenth and final bowl.

Naturo speaks first. "Hey Nii-san! That was the greatest experience I've ever had! When can we eat ramen again huh? Huh?"

Naruto glares and says, "Baka unless we find some more money we're not eating again."

"Well come on! Lets go get some!" says Reiven.

"I agree…I don't know if I can live if I never get to eat again." Says Akira

Naruto sweat drops. "Of coarse you can't survive if you never eat again! I'll have to remember to tell them that…"

"You better brat…They have much to learn."

"Why are you talking? I thought you were never gonna bother me again."

Kyuubi was a bit taken aback.

"He's serious!" she thought with realization and another feeling she couldn't quite put her finger on.

"HEY!"

The four siblings turn around to see a boy a little older then they are glaring at them. Well…a little older then Naruto since his siblings a technically a little over a day old.

"I asked you a question! Who do you think you are coming in here and trying to take over my ramen stand!"

Akira raises an eyebrow. "Your ramen stand? I don't see your name on it but that doesn't matter. We just came in here to eat."

"Don't play stupid! I know you came in here just to break my record of the most ramen eaten!"

"No Fat boy we just came in here to eat cause we were hungry," says Reiven.

"I'm not fat bastard! That's it! I challenge you all to a contest! I WILL regain my title as ramen champion!" The boy stops in the middle of his rant to notice that the four kids were already gone.

Naruto and his siblings were slightly unnerved.

"Man I hope everyone isn't as coo coo as that guy was," says Reiven. Naruto and Akira nod while Naturo snickers.

"Well anyway what do you wanna do now Nii-san?" asks Reiven. Naruto rubs his chin and says, " Well…Its still noon and we're not leaving until tomorrow…how bout we train a little? Maybe we could get some one to teach us something."

"That's a great idea Nii-san!" says Reiven.

"Yeah! The stronger the better. That way the grown ups'll leave Nii-san and us alone," says Akira as the four head off in search of a good training ground.

(Scene change)

As Kakashi explained the evens involving Naruto, Zabusa, Kakashi's teammate and last of all, those kids who claimed to be the boy's siblings, Sarutobi grew a little worried.

"So you're telling me that not only do these kids look exactly like Naruto but two them had some unknown blood line abilities?"

"Yes sir. One of them has grey and yellow hair and is responsible for binding me and Zabusa. It appears his abilities involve manipulating the property and shape of anything made of metal."

Sarutobi raises an eyebrow.

"And what was the other's ability?"

Kakashi sighs and says, "This other kid has the ability to sprout a pair of black wings in order to fly. It is apparent that he hasn't mastered them though. The girl appears to have no special abilities."

"I…See." He then looks at Zabusa. "Anything you would like to add?"

"Not really except the look in the blonde's eyes. The one who Kakashi was after…It was a mirror image of the look in Haku's here." He then reveals a small tattered looking boy.

"Its my guess this village is the reason for his pain and that's why he left. He's determined not to come back and those siblings of his are strong. Going after them in the future might prove to be a mistake… It could even resort in someone's death…"

"How so?" asks Saurtobi with a worried look in his eyes.

"Well…There something weird about that Naruto kid. That chakra he released…"

Sarutobi gasps. "Did he…lose himself?"

"Don't know what the hell you mean but he merely used it to take out this guy (Points to Kakashi's partner) and run off…Fast I might add."

Sarutobi sighs again and says, "That is all Dismissed…Except for you Zabusa. I have a proposition for you…"

(Scene change)

Naturo was whining about not having any metal to work with and focused on punches and kicks instead, Reiven was cursing at his wings but getting a little higher each time before falling back down to the ground, Naruto was mumbling something about and aching head while he practiced the Shadow clone to improve his chakra control and Akira was deep in her own routine of punches, Kicks and pushups. "Just cause I don't have special skills doesn't mean I won't be as strong as my brothers," she thought as sweat dripped from her forehead. They went on like this for two more hours before finally taking a break and resting next to each other against one of the training posts. The exercising was sloppy due to having no teacher to guide them but they used what little ninja training they had and went from that, using each other as teachers. Naruto was glad they at least knew the same stuff he did. Being formally shadow clones, they had that advantage and didn't have to start from scratch.

"Hey Nii-san…What's it like to be a baby? I saw this tiny person while we were looking for this place and asked someone what it was an she told me it was a called a baby and that everyone was one at one time."

Naruto sighs and says, "Being a baby means you're weak and totally defenseless. All you can do is cry when someone tries to kill you." His voice is riddled with sadness.

Kyuubi sighs sadly in her prison. "Idiot human," she thought.

"But…I wasn't a normal baby…Normal babies are loved by everyone. It's what you're called when you're just starting your life. I think."

"Wow…So that means Akira, Naturo and I are babies too?"

Naruto snickers and says, "Yeah…Big babies"

"For some reason it doesn't sound very cool when you say it like that."

Naruto just laughs, his previous depression gone in an instant.

(Scene change)

"Ne! Orochimaru-sensei what are you gonna teach us today? I wanna get strong fast!" says a spiky brown-haired boy.

"Shut up! Stupid loudmouth!" yells a reddish pink-haired girl.

"Oh like you're one to talk," says a six armed boy.

"You shut up too ugly freak boy!" yells the girl.

"Why don't all of you shut up and look? We have guests." Says Orochimaru as he points toward four children. The girl scowls. "Who do these ass holes think they are!? This is OUR spot!" she yells. One of the children looks up at her with a pair of blank blue orbs with a black outlining on the iris.

"Man is every one in this place stingy? Nii-San lets leave," he says.

"Kukuku…What's the hurry young ones?"

(4 Siblings pov)

Just as they turned to leave, the freaky snake man as Reiven put it says, "Kukukuku what's the hurry young ones?"

Naruto looks back at the group and says, "Don't you want us to leave? Since this is YOUR spot and all."

"Kukuku such a sarcastic child aren't you?"

Naruto says nothing.

"Hey! He asked you a question! When master Orochimaru asks you a question you answer it!" yells the girl.

"Pfft as if we'd ever listen to what a grown up has to say and you're stupid for calling him master," says Reiven.

This angers all three opposing children while the man just smirks.

"Kukuku My you seem full of confidence even if you are an insolent brat. Perhaps you would be singing a different melody after a spar with my students?"

"Yeah we'll teach you to respect your betters!"

"And why should we fight with your students? It seems pointless," says Akira.

"I say lets do it. Then we can leave this stupid village and go somewhere else," says Naturo.

Orochimaru looks down at his students. "You heard them. Teach them respect."

The girl charges first heading straight at Reiven with a surprising speed and slams her fist into the boy's gut sending him back ward a few feet. She smirks and goes to charge again but is interrupted by Akira' fist slamming into the side of her head. The girl stumbles but doesn't show any reaction.

"Is that the best you got? Weak ass." She then kicks Akira in the stomach.

The six armed boy was having a little more difficulty with Naruto who having grown up with people constantly attacking him had a bit of skill when it came to avoiding being hit. He weaved in and out of the barrage of punches and kicks flying at him but couldn't counter.

"Hold still coward!" yells the boy as he throws a kick at Naruto only to have it dodged.

Naturo was doing the best. Seeing as how the first thing his opponent did was draw several kunai only to have them liquefied and hardened around his hands. Naturo taunted his opponent while easily dodging his severely inhibited punches but he too didn't attack.

"Is your master really all that great? You're weak and stupid. If you was more like Nii-San over there. (He points to Naruto who was making the six armed boy look stupid) then you wouldn't have to depend on some grown-up for strength."

"Shut up! You know nothing!!"

Reiven was angry. The girl was fast but could she fly? No. He reasoned with himself and remembers he couldn't either. "Stupid wings," he grumbles before rejoining Akira in the assault against the reddish pink haired girl.

Akira had just dodged a vicious kick but tripped on a rock and was now trying to formulate a plan when Reiven came from seemingly nowhere and slams his heel into the top of the girl's head. The girl falls to the ground screaming curses and rubbing her head.

"REIVEN YOU IDIOT! SHE'S THE ENEMY NOT ME! STUPID!!"

Reiven smiles sheepishly and says, "Sorry. You moved at the last second. I had no time to react."

"Whatever. Listen I have a plan and it involves your wings."

Orochimaru looked on with slight interest. "These kids show a little bit of promise." He then vanishes to do some research to find out who these four were.

Naruto decided that merely avoiding the six armed boy wasn't enough so after he dodges a left hook he moves in close and slams his fist into the boy's jaw knocking him out. The punch was sloppy but Naruto had enough strength to make it effective. Naruto massages his knuckles and observes his siblings.

"Okay I've had enough, "says Naturo as he lifts the metal taking his opponent who's hands were still trapped and hovering it in the air. The boy dangles uselessly in the air for a few seconds before Naturo jumps up and lands a heavy kick to the boy's jaw.

Just as the reddish-pink haired girl was getting ready to strike again, Reiven suddenly sprouts a pair of large black wings, sending feathers everywhere and effectively blinding her.

"GO AKIRA!" yells Reiven.

Akira jumps up onto her brother's shoulders then jumps as high as she can into the air. Raiven flaps his wings once hard to give himself an extra boost while jumping after her. He comes up behind her, grabs her outstretched hands, flips himself and Akira forward once then releases her in a powerful front flip human girl throw. Akira tucks into a tight ball spinning toward her stunned opponent and at the last second she untucks and drills her foot into the ground in front of the girl sending dirt and rock everywhere.

The girl falls down on her butt still stunned and staring at Reiven.

"Reiven you baka! You missed!" yells Akira once she realizes that her foot hadn't taken the girl's head off.

"I missed? You're the idiot who waited to long to attack!"

"Shut up! It was your fault and you know it!"

"Hey just be glad I even decided to help you! Stupid girl!"

"What? You wanna say that again?" She is now in Reiven's face.

"Both of you come on before you get left behind!" says Naturo who was already leaving with Naruto.

Both children are instantly by Naruto's side.

"Hey where'd that snake guy go?" asks, Reiven after a few minutes.

"I don't know and I don't care. Lets hurry up and get outta here," says Naruto as the four approach the village's exit.

"Hey Nii-San? Where are we gonna go now?" asks Akira.

"Somewhere away from here."

"Man I hope whoever we meet next isn't as crazy as the people here," says Naturo.

"Yeah…Hey wait! We forgot to get different clothes!"

"We'll do that in the next village."

The four then exit the sound village.

"Hey wait!"

They turn around to see the reddish-pink haired girl from before.

"Jeez what do you want now? Wasn't your precious training ground enough?" asks Reiven.

Shut up! I want to go with you guys!"

This causes four pairs of eyebrows to rise.

"Yeah right! What about your precious gown up? Your master huh?"

The girl glares and says, "Actually I just met him! So shut up! But forget him! I wanna go with you guys now!"

"What the heck for?"

The girl casts a look in Reiven's direction before quickly looking down and says, "Well…Because…I wanna travel and see the world too. And I think it would be fun to have no adults to answer to."

Naruto smirks.

"Hmmm, I don't know. What do you think Nii-San?" asks Reiven.

Naruto looks at the girl's eyes for a whole minute before smiling a huge smile, then saying, "Of coarse you can come with us!"

"Well if Nii-San says its okay then I won't argue," says Reiven.

"Same here," says Naturo

"Me too," says Akira.

The girl snorts and says, "What is this guy the boss or something?"

"Well sort of…After all he is the one who cre…" Reiven trails off.

"Huh?"

"Oh nothing. I'm sure Nii-San will tell you later."

"Whatever its your secret it matters not to me."

"By the way what's your name?" asks Naruto.

"My name is Tayuya."

Naruto nods and begins his introduction.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. Future strongest ninja ever!"

"My Name is Akira Uzumaki."

"And mines Reiven Uzumaki. The best looking and most talented one!"

"The names Naturo Uzumaki and Reiven is a hyperactive baka."

"Quadruplets eh? Well good to meet you all." Says Tayuya.

Naruto smiles a happy smile that says, "Well we better get going before Snake man shows up looking for his student/servant whatever."

Tayuya smirks and moves in step with Reiven and the five children head away from the sound village.

"Hey we didn't even get to sleep any where!" says Akira suddenly.

"We'll just find a nice spot I the woods for tonight then," says Naturo.

Reiven sighs and says, "I just noticed my shirt is torn up in the back…Stupid wings."

Tayuya smiles While Akira calls him an idiot.

Naruto just ignored his sibling's antics and continued on. "Where to go next…We'll figure it out on the way I guess.

He smiles as Reiven spreads his wings causing Tayuya to stare with starry eyes.

"Hmph. I was wondering what the real reason was that Tayuya would suddenly wanna come with us." He thought. He locks eyes with a smirking Akira. Naruto merely winks at his sister and continues on.

(Scene change)

"What do you mean Tayuya left with them!?"

"I-I'm sorry Orochimaru-Sama! B-But she told me it was your idea!"

"That little wench…Find her! Bring her back! And bring those kids as well!"

"Yes sir!"

Orochimaru rubs his temples. "So…Little Tayuya-Chan thinks she can betray me? She and her new friends will pay. Kukukuku."

(Scene change)

"Sorry old man but I cannot take you up on that offer. You know what I plan on doing…again"

"Yes…You've told me but…Think about it. Konoha could use a powerful ninja such as you and I know you're already tired of running."

"Why the hell are you even offering me this any way? Don't ninja villages usually Take the heads of missing nins such as myself and collect the bounties?"

"Usually yes but you had a good reason for doing what you did and I'm sure neither little Haku or Naruto would forgive me if I took your life. So what do you say? I'll even have your sword repaired for free."

Zabusa rubs his chin…I guess…it would be nice…Especially for Haku. Fine I'll take you up on your little offer for now."

"great Now…What is Haku's age and level of skill?"

(Scene change)

Naruto, Akira, Reiven Naturo and Tayuya were camped in a forest clearing around a large fire that Tayuya created using fire type jutsu. They were all deep in their own sleep completely unaware of the four sound ninjas coming straight for them.

"I can sense them."

"Good. They haven't gotten very far. This will be easy."

"And if they resist too much?"

"Kill them and bring back the bodies. That was Orochimaru's order."

"Hai"

The four nin grin as they get ever closer to the five sleeping children.
