Thinking

Kyuubi, inner Sakura or Lucian talking

Jutsu

Mission Begins, Battle, Old Friends, And the Legendary Sucker

Naruto opened his eyes as the sun hit his face from the window and looked down and couldn't help but smile at the sight of his three year old daughter sleeping soundly as she snuggled closer into his chest. He laid there for a couple of minutes not wanting to disturb her then he gently shook her to wake her up. Kira looked around sleepily and rubbed her eyes trying to get the sleep out of them while she wagged her tail happily at seeing that her father was still there.

Naruto smiled at her and then started to speak to her in a kind voice "hey sweetie it's time to get up and get ready we have to go and see your mother real quick then we have to go somewhere. So why don't you go and get in the bath while daddy gets your clothes and I'll be in there in a second to help wash you."Naruto said as he got up and got her another dress that looked like her other one but it was yellow with white flowers all over it. Kira nodded and went into the bathroom and turned on the water and took off her clothes and jumped in when it was full and she started playing with a water toy that Naruto got for her.

Naruto walked in and couldn't help but smile once again as he watched his daughter play in the water. "Ok Kira sit still so I can wash your hair." Naruto said as he grabbed the shampoo. Kira just sat there showing that she had heard him as he began to scrub her hair being carful of her ears. Once she was all clean Naruto got her a towel as she got out then he started to dry her off. She then got dressed and went into the kitchen and played with some of her other toys while Naruto made some breakfast.

Once they were done eating Naruto put her on his back and started to running to the flower shop once they reached it Kira jumped off his back and ran up to her mother who was behind the counter. "Hey there Kira-chan, Naruto-kun how are you guys today?" Ino asked as she gave Kira a hug and picked her up.

"Kira feels great mommy. Daddy said Kira and him are going somewhere today. Kira is so excited to go with daddy!" Kira said as she wagged her tail happily. Ino just smiled at her and started to rub Kiras fox ears which caused said girl to start to purr at the sensation. "Ino-hime Hokage-jiji has requested that I go on a mission with Jiraiya and I will be gone for a couple of weeks and I am bringing Kira with me. So we came here to say goodbye before we leave." Naruto said as he gave her a kiss.

"Ok. So when are you guys leaving?" Ino asked as she put Kira down. "We leave at noon today." Naruto answered. Ino nodded and yelled to the back at her mom saying that she was going to be gone for a while and will be back at noon. "Good that gives me some time to spend time with you guys before you leave. So what do you want to do?" Ino asked.

"We could go to the park again hopefully with no interruptions this time." Naruto said as Kira jumped onto his shoulder and sat there. Ino nodded and that's how they spent their time until it was around noon and they started heading to the north gate. When they got there Jiraiya was already there waiting for them Ino gave Kira a hug and a kiss on the check and told her to be good for daddy. Kira nodded and started bugging Jiraiya about who he was and where they were going. Naruto just chuckled at her and then was caught off guard when Ino gave him a passionate kiss once he regained his senses he started to kiss back with the same amount of passion.

Once they broke apart Ino said "I love Naruto-kun. Please be careful" With love in her voice as she put her forehead on his and stared into his eyes. "I love you too Ino-hime. And don't worry I won't let anything happen to Kira or Me." Naruto said as he stared back into her eyes.

They kissed one more time and parted Naruto then turned around and nodded to Jiraiya and they left the village in search of Tsunade.

With Kakashi while Naruto was leaving

Kakashi was standing by a dango shop while reading his porn. But if you were an experienced ninja you would have noticed him keeping an eye on two strangers that had two hats on (what do you call those) and black cloaks on that had a red cloud design on them. The taller one had something that must've been a broad sword wrapped on bandages on his back.

Kakashi was about to leave and report them when Asuma and Kurenai walking by and noticing him. "Hey Kakashi what are you doing here?" Asuma asked as he lit another one of his cigarettes. "Oh nothing just thought I might get something to eat." Kakashi answered while sending a silent gesture to the two men in the shop. The two jonnins s gave a gesture that they under stood and then they noticed that the two figures had disappeared. Kakashi nodded to them and they to disappeared to follow the two while he was about to follow them but was interrupted by Sasuke showing up.

"Kakashi I demand you to show me a new technique now!" Sasuke demanded as he looked around the shop then turned his attention back to Kakashi waiting for his reply even though he knew it would be a yes but disappointed when Kakashi answered. "Sasuke no I will no longer teach anything unless I think you are worthy of it. And no longer will you address me like that it will be Kakashi-sensei or Kakashi-sempai you decide no if you'll excuse me I was busy until you came." Kakashi said as he disappeared in a plume of smoke.

Sasuke stared at where the cyclopes was standing and then realized what he just said and his face started to turn into a scowl then he stormed off to the Uchiha clan district to train.

With the two figures

The two figures from before were walking by a river in the village when the taller of the two started to talk to the other one. "Well it seems like your village is still as strong as ever." He said as he looked at his partner for a reaction but groaned when he saw that he was still emotionless as before. "Yes it does Kisame but it seems that the security is not as good as it us to be." The smaller one said in a monotone voice.

The taller one now none as Kisame was about to reply but stopped when he sensed two presence coming their way and said "Well it seems that it's not slacking that much" as Asuma and Kurenai appeared in front of them.

"You two don't look like you are from around here." Asuma said as he got ready for anything Kurenai doing the same. "Actual I used to live here. It's nice to see you Asuma-san Kurenai-san" said the shorter of the two as he pulled off his hat reveling that he had black hair that was tied up in a pony tail. He had onyx colored eyes that was a dead giveaway of who he was he resembled Sasuke somewhat but looked more peaceful than him.

"Itachi Uchiha you have a lot of nerve to come back here after what you did." Kurenai growled out as she started to do hand seals but she stopped when he glared at her and started to speak. "Kurenai-san please don't speak of something that you don't know about." Itachi said as he glared her down. "So Itachi it seems we are going to have to kill them so that they don't alert anyone of our presence." Kisame said with a blood thirsty grin as took off his hat to showing his face and they were shocked that his skin was a light blue color. Then he grabbed the handle of the sword on his back and took a swing at Asuma.

Asuma grabbed his trench knives and blocked the swing that was aimed at him he was shocked at the sheer strength of the blue man as he struggled to hold up his guard. Kisame grinned as he pushed down with even more force and when he was done the sword was now on Asuma's shoulder and then he said "Samehada doesn't cut it shaves!" as he grinned insanely as he yanked his sword towards him causing a huge gash on Asuma's shoulder. Asuma jumped back as Kisame swung again while their encounter was going on Kurenai went through hand seals and she disappeared like she was a ghost.

Itachi blinked and found himself stuck to a tree then Kurenai appeared out of the tree with a kunai at the read when suddenly she was stuck to the tree and Itachi was standing in front of her. She quickly released the genjutsu but when she did Itachi kicked her out onto the water. Itachi appeared behind her with a kunai and was about to kill her when he jumped back avoiding the kick that was sent at him by Kakashi. "Hello Kakashi-sempai it's been a long time." Itachi said as he dropped the kunai into the water as he stared at the ex-anbu captain Kakashi just stared back and pulled up his headband reveling his sharingan eye for all to see. Itachi activated his sharingan as Kakashi started to do hand seals "Water style-water dragon Jutsu!" he yelled as the water dragon rushed towards Itachi only to be blocked by a wall of water.

"Amazing his hand seals speed is so fast that even my sharingan can't follow it!" Kakashi thought as he jumped back from the water tendrils that were coming for him. He landed by Kurenai and they were soon joined by Asuma who was sent flying from blocking another strike from Kisame who was fighting a shadow clone of Kakashi. "Damn Kakashi what are we going to do?" Asuma questioned as he stood up on the water.

Itachi took this time to activate the ultimate level of the sharingan the magenkyo (spelling) sharingan and looked at them. "Asuma Kurenai close your eyes now and don't open your eyes until I tell you to!" Kakashi exclaimed as he closed his none sharingan eye as he made eye contact with Itachi he suddenly found himself in a black and red world tied to a cross.

"Kakashi-sempai I'm sorry I had to attack you but I have to make this as real as possible. Please forgive." Itachi said. Before Kakashi could ask what he was talking about Itachi started to torture him by stabbing him with a sword for 72 hours when in reality it was only a few seconds. Kakashi panted as he tried to remain standing and spoke "what are you here for Itachi? Are you here for Sasuke?" he asked. "No we are after the fourths legacy." He answered. Kakashi was about to reply when out of the corner of his eye he saw Kisame coming at them with his sword at the ready. He was about to try and dodge him but he didn't have to because Gai kicked him in the face via dynamic entry to the face Kakashi let a sigh of relief as he finally fell into the world of unconsciousness.

"Gai close your eyes or you will end up like Kakashi." Asuma warned when he felt Gai nearby. "Not if you concentrate on his feet." Gai said as he got in his stance waiting for them to attack. "Kisame we must leave now we can't face them all at once. Our target is obviously not here right now so we will retreat." Itachi said as he glared at Kisame who was about to protest. Kisame just nodded as him and his partner disappeared.

The three jonnins let out a sigh of relief as they got Kakashi and headed towards the hospital to get him checked out.

An hour later

The jonnins were now surrounded the bed that Kakashi was sleeping Asuma got his shoulder patched up and other than his ego being bruised he was fine same goes for Kurenai. Once they got him to the hospital and figured out that they couldn't help him they brought him to his apartment. Before they could say anything Sasuke came into the room getting ready to demand to be trained when he noticed what was going on. "What is going….." before he could finish some unknown jonnin came in and said "hey guys is it true that Itachi is back and is looking for Naruto but left with Jiraiya heading north?" but then he realized who was in the room with them and was about to say something but was pushed out of the way by Sasuke who was thinking "Itachi was here but why is he after dobe?" as he ran out of the apartment and headed in the direction the jonnin said Naruto was in.

With Naruto, Kira, and Jiraiya

They had been on the road for two hours now and they had just got into town they had bought a room at a hotel and they were heading to it when Jiraiya saw a beautiful lady in her mid twenties was motioning for him to follow her. Jiraiya being the perverted hermit that we all know and love followed her telling Naruto to go to the room and meditate or order room service for Kira.

Naruto was now sitting on the bed meditating and talking to Kyuubi and Lucian while Kira was watching a TV show called the power puff girls. "So what should I train in next?" Naruto asked. "Well Naruto you could always learn how to use the fourths other technique or learn how to make guns like Lucian taught you." Kyuubi suggested as him and Lucian were playing poker at a poker table in the middle of his cage. Kyuubi was wearing a pair of sunglasses and one of those capes that have no top to it with a few chips in his area of the table while Lucian was wearing what he usually wore and had a lot of chips.

"Ha read em and weep Lucian!" Kyuubi exclaimed as he laid down his hand which consisted of three queens and a pair of twos. Lucian just grinned and laid his hand which was three aces and two kings. Kyuubi cried anime tears as he handed his last remaining chips over to Lucian who just took them happily. "Kyuubi for a fox you have some poor luck" Naruto thought as he heard a knock on the door he was about to get up and answer it until he smelled danger and told Kira to stay behind him. Then he powered a Resengan while hiding his power and then let it lose on the door causing the person behind it to go flying.

When he looked through the door he saw someone that he hadn't seen for years and a giant whole that went all the way through the hotel. "Hello weasel-neesan how have you been haven't seen you sense that faithful day." Naruto said as saw Itachi nod his head agreeing with what he said. Itachi was about to say something when Sasuke appeared in the hall and started to speak "Itachi I did what you told me! I hated you and now I will kill you!" then Sasuke charged a chidori and charged at Itachi and he dragged the chidori against the wall as he went to strike Itachi right in the heart.

Itachi just gave a tiered sigh and when Sasuke was about to pierce him he grabbed his wrist and aimed towards the wall were it ended. "Foolish little brother can't you see me Naruto-kun was having a conversation before you interrupted." Itachi said in an annoyed voice he lifted him up of the ground. Then he slammed him against the wall as he snapped his wrist after he did that he punched him in the gut which took Sasuke's breath away. "Now I shall make you relive that night." Itachi said in a monotone voice as he activated the magenkyo sharingan and made eye contact with Sasuke. Sasuke a second later let out a cry that screamed bloody murder as he slumped against the floor.

After he was finished with Sasuke he turned his attention back to Naruto who through ordeal had a scowl on his face for Sasuke's interruption. "Naruto-kun why don't we take this somewhere more private?" Itachi asked. Naruto nodded as Kira jumped on his back an Itachi teleported them to a clearing just as Jiraiya and Kisame come back to the scene of the encounter.

With Naruto and Itachi

"So neesan do you want to have a spar real quick?" Naruto asked as sat Kira down and told her to go play by a nearby tree which she happily nodded as if they weren't in a dangerous situation. "I would like to see how much you have improved Naruto-kun." Itachi replied as he got ready.

Naruto got in his stance and charged at Itachi and aimed a right hook at his face only for him to block and send a jab at his stomach but Naruto jumped into the air using Itachi's grip on his hand as leverage and aimed kick at his back. Itachi released his hand and jumped back only for Naruto to come in front of him and try to punch him again but he caught his hand again and sent a left hook for his face only for Naruto to catch his hand. They tried to overpower each other for a few seconds but they couldn't as they were both equal in strength for now at least. "You have improved greatly Naruto-kun." Itachi said as he gave one more try to overpower the younger brunet only for said brunet to rip his hand free from Itachi and let go of Itachi's hand. This caught Itachi off guard and wasn't able to defend himself from Naruto's head butt and he stumbled back a few feet from the force behind it.

"Itachi-neesan we are only getting started!" Naruto exclaimed before he went through hand seals and yelled "Fire style- fire wolf pack" and five fire wolves charged at Itachi. Itachi ignoring the blood leaking from his forehead did his own hand seals and announced his own Jutsu "Water style-multiple water dragon Jutsu" as the same amount of water dragons blocked the wolves. When the two attacks met they created a fog of steam that even the sharingan couldn't see through. Naruto charged through the steam with Zangetsu at the read when he was close to Itachi he went for a diagonal swing. Itachi acting quickly blocked it with a kunai he then sent a kick at his opponent's stomach it made contact but the Naruto he kicked poofed into smoke indicating it was a clone.

Naruto then appeared behind him and aimed a spin kick at Itachi's head only for him to grab it and throw him into a tree and held him there with a kunai aimed at hi jugular vein. "Well Naruto-kun looks like I win this one." Itachi stated. Naruto just grinned and motioned him to look behind him and he did what he saw was two shadow clones standing behind him with Zangetsu at his spleen and his spin. "My mistake I guess it's a tie." He replied as he took the kunai and pocketed it and released Naruto who dispelled his clones.

Kira who witnessed the whole thing run up to Naruto and jumped up on his shoulder and exclaimed "daddy that was awesome. You like whoosh. Kira couldn't even see you and crazy eyes!" as she wagged her tail happily. Naruto chuckled at her nickname for Itachi while Itachi left eye was twitching and was about to say something about when the sensed Jiraiya was coming. "Naruto-kun I have to go but know this. I will always protect you little brother (please someone tell me the Japanese for this)" as he wiped some blood off his forehead and poked Naruto on his forehead and disappeared. The blood dripped down his forehead and went into his eye it caused him some brief pain but it went away after a minute or two.

Jiraiya appeared after another minute and was on guard looking for Itachi he calmed down after he noticed that he wasn't there. "Naruto where is Itachi?" Jiraiya questioned as he walked up to him and Kira.

Naruto didn't answer him and just started to walk off to the next town since they surly wouldn't go back to the hotel because of the damaged that they caused. "Sensei did someone come and get Uchiha?" he asked as Jiraiya caught up with him. "Yeah after I that other guy retreated Gai came and got. He wanted me to tell you to please do all you can to bring back Tsunade." Jiraiya answered as they walked on the path. Naruto just nodded as he readjusted Kira on his shoulder.

Next town

There was a blond with her hair up in pig tails she wore a green jacket that had the kanji for gambler on it over her grey shirt she also had black pants and high heels. She was at a casino playing the slot machines. Nearby there was a brunet woman who was sitting on a stool holding a pig.

She pulled the lever and she won the jackpot surprisingly she stared at the screen for a second before she got up and started walking away. "Shizune we are leaving! NOW!" she yelled as she walked by the brunet now known as Shizune. Shizune got up and quickly grabbed the money and followed her.

A few blocks away from the casino in front of a castle

The blond and Shizune were making their way for the exit but the blond stopped and said "Orochimaru show yourself I know your there!" and sure enough Orochimaru came around a corner with Kabuto at his side. "Tsunade you're as alert as ever." Orochimaru said as he stood in front of the blond now known as Tsunade.

"What do you want?" she asked as she glared at him. "Tsunade I want you to join me so that I can take down the leaf village." He said as Shizune prepared her senbo shooter that was on her wrist. "Oh and why would I do that?" Tsunade asked.

"Because I can bring back your loved ones." Orochimaru answered like it was the most obvious thing in the world. That is when Shizune decided to attack send a barrage of senbo at him but Kabuto got in the way and blocked them with an extra long kunai (compensating for something). "Shizune stand down!" Tsunade roared as she just kept on looking at Orochimaru. "Orochimaru don't joke with me or I will kill you." She said as she slammed her fist into the wall behind her causing it to crumble. "Tsunade you should know that I don't joke. I can really bring back Dan and Nawki (that is how you spell it right?). Orochimaru replied as he motioned Kabuto to stand down.

"Don't worry you don't need to answer right now you have a week to decide your answer." Orochimaru said as he and Kabuto left. Once they were gone Tsunade motioned for Shizune to follow her and they went to a bar

With Jiraiya and Naruto

They just got to the town that one of Jiraiya's resources said Tsunade was in and they had already been to all the casinos in town so they decided to take a break and Jiraiya was walking into some random bar. "God dam it you stupid old pervert I have three year old daughter right here and you want to go into a bar! Your insane." Naruto exclaimed. "Come on brat just don't let her near any of the sake and she'll be fine." Jiraiya said as he walked into the bar with Naruto grudgingly following holding Kira.

"Tsunade!" Jiraiya shouted slash asked as he saw her Naruto just stood there then followed his perverted sensei. "Jiraiya what are you doing here? First Orochimaru and now you." Tsunade said as she drank another flask of her sake.

"So you met our old teammate huh?" he asked as him and Naruto sat down. He then poured himself a glass of sake. "Yeah just came to say hi." Tsunade lied as she downed another one. Kira started asking questions about when she would get something to eat and who the lady was.

"Hey Jiraiya who are the two brats?" Tsunade questioned as Naruto order some food for Kira. Before Jiraiya could answer for them Kira started talking. "Hey old lady Kira is not a brat!" she exclaimed as pointed at Tsunade. Jiraiya got a panicked look on his while Tsunade got a tick mark and with great speed she was about to bop Kira on the head if it wasn't for one thing and that one thing was Naruto. Naruto had stopped her by grabbing her wrist before she could make contact with Kira's head to the shock of her and Shizune who was sitting by Tsunade that a mere chunin could stop her. "Please aren't you supposed to be an adult? If you try to hit my daughter again I will rip your hand off." Naruto said as he look go of her hand.

"Jiraiya your students keep on getting ruder and ruder." Tsunade said to Jiraiya. "Tsunade he may not look or act like it but he can be a pretty good kid." Jiraiya said as he took a sip of his sake.
