(Location: Konoha: Training Ground 44/Forest of Death, Date: NA 10-17-1012, 2:00am)

He move through the forest like a shadow in the night, swift, silent, and unseen,

He knew that it was reckless and foolish for him to return to the village so soon, but he had to know if the rumors were true and with the network down he couldn't contact Azure. So he was left with one chose, to go to Konoha and see Azure himself, luckily the Forest of Death was one of the outer most training grounds and only lightly patrolled. As he made his way Itachi had to hide beside a tree to avoid two patrolling Chunin "…and we have guard duty in the morning"

"Well it beats patrolling, Izumo" the other Chunin Said "This place gives me the creeps, and they say that that crazy woman Anko Mitarashi lives in this place and that she cut off guys balls and eat them"

The raven Summoner's lips twitched slightly, he had mat Anko a few times, the last was over several years ago when she was still a student of Orochimaru, and despite the shock of his betrayal, Itachi couldn't imagine the happy if somewhat eccentric young women as some creepy balls eating psycho. Hopping over the fence he made his way swiftly through the fatal forest and to the tower at its center, when he got to the transporter room a cool female voice said "Please state your passcode"

This wearied the mass murderer more than anything, Azure normally know he was coming long before he got to this room, but he spoke his code anyway "Itachi Uchiha, Nevermore-513"

There was a few seconds of silent before Azure voice answered "Well come Itachi, you are not due to be back for another four months, why have you return?"

'Well at least some things never change' Itachi thought of Azure's bluntness before answering "I have come to verify some… rumors that I have heard, I wouldn't have come but the Network is down and that had me wearied"

There was a moment pause before the AI answered "Very well, prepare to be transported to the control room"

Itachi nodded and step forward as the giant rings rose up and he disappeared in a flash of light

The Missing-Ninja reappeared in a large room, to the right was several videos screens, to the left was several high-tech machines, and in the middle was the reason he had snuck back into Konoha. Itachi was glad that the blond hell-raiser was live and in one piece (if only he knew), but what caught his eye was the young women pass out next to him, it was none other than Anko Mitarashi.

She had change so much that he almost didn't recognize her, she had filled out and was wearing next to nothing.

The holographic form of Azure flare to life next to him "We have much to discuss"

-X-X-X-X-X-

Naruto awoke to find a weight leaning on him and tried to shove it off, only to knock it on top of him, the blond jinchuriki groan and opened his eyes for a moment to see what the hell was on top of him, only his see a mass of purple hair. "Get off of me, Hebi-nee" He try to shove her off again, but his right hand landed on the wrong place.

Anko moan "Not so rough, Lemon-kun"

Naruto, confused looked up to see that his right hand was groping Anko's chest and turn a bright red. The blond gave a yap and throw the Jonin off the bed with surprising strength, a light laugh interrupted the two's fight. The paired spun around to see a man standing in the shadows but before they could do anything Azure appeared in the middle of the room. "Let me introduce you to one the my top agents, Itachi Uchiha"

The Raven Summoner got the reaction he was expected from Anko, which was to go pale and pull out a Kunal, but he what did not expect was for Naruto to jump up, point at him and yell "I Know you, your Sasuke's brother, the one that the other Anbu call the Emo-prince" Akane roar with laugher in blond's mind.

'How does he know that's what the other Anbu used to call me behind my back?' Itachi thought as both the adults and the holographic avatar turn to look at Naruto, who scratched that the back of his head in embarrassment.

"As I was saying" Azure said, getting their attention "Itachi is one of my top agents and has agreed to train you and Hinata if she is willing… it appears that she has awaken, Anko can you lead her here"

Anko nodded silently and Shinshun away.

-X-X-X-X-X-

Hinata woke up confuse and wounding were she was before she remembered and a sudden thought cross her mind 'I hope father don't realize that I'm gone… what if he sent out a search team' the shy girl image what kind of trouble she would be in if that happens. Pushing those thoughts away Hinata packed up and took out the necklace and set off in the direction it pointed, it took her almost an hour, she had to go around a pack of giant leeches and the a very large carnivorous plant.

'At last… this is where Naruto must be…' Hinata thought as she made her way to the base of the tower.

At the entrains Hinata found her way block by a mysteries women, she worn an tan skirt, a black shirt with a long trench coat, but what unsettled the Hyuuga heiress most was the Anbu-like mask with purple marking in the style of a snake. The Mask woman was silent for a moment before saying four word that shocked Hinata more than anything

"He's waiting for you"

And without looking back or saying another word she turned and walked into the tower, and after a moment's hesitation the pale-eye girl fallowed after her. Hinata fallow the Anbu look-a-like through the tower and down several flight of stairs, always nine feet behind her, not too far to lose sight of her if she makes a sudden turn but not too near for a surprise attack.

On the last floor the Mask kunoichi walked to the middle of the hallway before turning and going right through the wall, the indigo-hair girl froze before activating her Byakugan and saw the it wasn't a genjutsu like she thought but that the wall seem to be burring and shimmering. Hinata nervously put her hand on the wall, it sunk through with a site ripple effect, and stepped through.

On the other side she gave a great shudder, it felt like being cover in maggots or ants. Looking around, the room was empty but for a large ring painted on the floor, the mask woman stood in the middle of the ring and beckon her forward, Hinata took a deep before stepping forward.

The rings rose up at once and they disappeared in a flash of light.

The two reappeared several hundred feet below the surface in a small room, and Hinata immediately fell to one knee and try to keep from vomiting at the sensation of being press through a very tight, spinning tube.

"I'm sorry for your discomfort Hinata-sama, local solar activity is interfering with the Transporter-Rings stabilizers, but the electromagnetic interference should be gone in two hours times." Said a calm feminine voice. Hinata looked up at the sound of the voice and froze at the sight before her.

The transparent woman seem to read her mind "I am not a ghost or a genjutsu or hallucination, what you see before is my holographic avatar I you to interface with people, a hologram is a three-dimensional form created by light, now if you will follow me, my master is waiting for you"

Confused and a little overwhelm Hinata nodded even though she only understood about haft of what the woman said, and fallowed her into a large room. Stepping inside the pale-eye girl didn't notice the advance machinery or the videos screens, all she saw was the familiar blue eyes and blond hair of her best friend.

"Naruto-kun" Hinata launch herself on Naruto's bed and hug him tightly. The bionic blond gave a yelp of surprise at the sudden contact, not expecting it from the normally shy girl. "Naruto-kun what happen? They told us that a missing-ninja snuck into the village and attack you! They said that they found your arm that you were dead!"

Naruto open his mouth to tell her what happen but no sound came out, but it was enough to draw her attention to his face and she notice that one of his eyes was not the cerulean blue that she was familiar with but a metallic silvery-blue, quickly looking down she saw that his right arm was the silvery-gray of metal

"Naruto-kun" Hinata said weakly, before (to everyone but Naruto's surprise) she pass out.

"Perhaps the Transporter-Rings had a greater malignant effect on her then I calculated" Azure theorized, with that Anko bust into laugher and Itachi shook his head.

(Dream/Flashback – 5 Years ago)

The snow was drifting down in Konoha which was already covered in white. In the middle of town there was a big winter festival. Practically everybody was there. But off a distance near a lake there was a 6 years old girl with pale eyes and around her were three older boys.

"What's wrought white eye freak" the largest boy said making the girl cry "No one likes you, why don't you run back to your mommy"

"Hay leave her alone you cross-eye ass" all four turn around to see a blond boy with whisker marks wearing a white shirt with the hidden leaf symbol on it and black pants coming out of the trees.

"Hay look it's the other freak" the large bully laugh

Naruto eyebrow twitch three times before he jump that the boys and started to pounding the daylights out of what seemed to be a bigger kid. About 15 feet away the small indigo-hair girl with a set of beautiful lavender eyes stopped cry and look that the boy that stood up for her, but wince at the fight and the blond wasn't doing to good

"How Do You Like Being Picked On Jerk!" The blond boy shouted to the big kid as and puck him only to be thrown down and kicked by the others

"I Don't Hear Ya Laughin' Now Ya Big Bully!" Next scene shows the blond boy bruise with black eye but stand over the three bullies

"I'll get you back for this Uzumaki!" As the Kid ran off. The blond boy stood there breathing heavily trough his nose. He noticed that his nose was bleeding from when the big kid got his shots in. He wondered whether he should go after the kid or not, but seeing the girl looking at him, he decided to stay. He grabbed her ball which apparently the bigger kid took.

"Don't cry, I chased him away." Said the boy sniffing, trying to stop the blood flow of his nose. The girl slowly raised her head to see the blond boy smiling. The boy then knelt to her level. "Err, what's your name right?" The girl's tears began to dry "H-Hinata… Hinata Hyuuga"

The boy just smiled with his trademark goofy grin. "I got your ball back, Hinata." He said presenting the ball to her. She began to smile as she took the ball. However they both noticed right away that the ball had blood on it from the boy's nose bleed. Having an embarrassed look on his face, the boy grabbed the bottom of his shirt. "Sorry about that, here, I'll get it off."

As he was doing so, the girl spoke up "What…what is your name?" She said in a shy fashion. "Me? I'm Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki". He helped the girl up. The two looked at each other for a minute, she was looking into his cerulean eyes, and he was looking into her big beautiful lavender ones. Suddenly their stare was broken when a large hand grabbed Naruto by the back of his collar. "What the hell do you think you're doing here punk?" A man shouted as he ripped Naruto away from Hinata, throwing the boy to the ground. The man who had some buddies with him turned to see who the girl was.

"Lady Hinata!" He said. They all also noticed that she had tears on her face. They then turned enraged to Naruto. You Little Bastard! How dare you assault lady Hinata!" One of the men said. Suddenly all the men started to beat on the boy. He put his arms up to guard his head, however, it did not do much good as one of the men was stomping away at it.

Hinata grabbed the pants of one the men. "Stop, he was helping me….." Hinata said. But the men did not take time to listen. Hinata's tears started up again as she was trying to stop the pummeling of her new friend. "Stop!" said a deep commanding voice. The men turned to see that Hiashi Hyuuga was coming up to them. "Lord Hiashi." One of the men said bowing. "Hinata…." Said Hiashi as he ran to pick her up. "You had me scared to death, you know you are not supposed to wander off." Hinata was not even listening to her father as she was trying to look through the men to see if Naruto is Ok. "What is going on here?" Hiashi demanded. "Lord, we saw this 'Animal' attacking lady Hinata." One of the men said.

Hinata was trying to tell everyone what happened but nobody was listening. Hiashi took a few steps forward to see the boy. 'Naruto…' Hiashi thought to himself. Hinata began to cry as she saw that Naruto had been completely battered. Despite his numerous injuries, Naruto brought himself to his feet. What shocked Hiashi was that a 5 year old after having taken such a beating, did not shed a single tear. "Boy…." Hiashi started. Naruto looked up at him, still breathing heavy. "…come with me." The boy (and everybody else) looked shock, but he simply turned found while Hinata watched.

That was the Naruto met Hinata and Hiashi, who did, all they could for the boy.

(End of Dream/Flashback)

Hinata let out a soft moan as she woke up, she was in a large bed, looking up she saw that Naruto was sitting across from her, his metallic arm and eye was in full view.

Naruto rise his hand to stop her from speaking "I know what you're going to ask and I know how much it must have hurt you… and I'm sorry" Naruto sighed "As you can see I did lose my right arm and eye, I'm alive only because Azure saved me…" The cybernetic blond wave his hand and Azure appeared to his right "…and before you ask, let me tell you her story"

"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… there was a race of aliens, people who weren't human… they were far older then are kind and for that they were called the Elders. The Elders traveled the universe looking for knowledge, but one day they came upon a dead world with a Great Darkness seal inside it. They were curious and unsealed it, believing that their knowledge and power would be able to stop it… they were wrought.

The Elders and the Abyss fought each other for eons, finally the Elders made one last attack to end the darkness. They found themselves on this world and settled down for a time… but they learned that the Abyss had survived, and so they created a Great Guardian… the two fought and as the Abyss near its defeat it fuse with the Guardian. The Guardian became a being of chaos and so with the last of their power the Elders split it into Nine Pieces… that would become the Biju"

Hinata's eyes widen at this information "But what does this have to do with you or why you got hurt"

Naruto look down "Before all the Elders died away they had a visage that the darkness would come back a third and final time, and that the one born to the Ninth Piece would be destined to stop it"

"Born to the Ninth Piece…" The pale-eye girl echoed, not liking were this going.

Naruto smiled sadly "Hinata do you know what a Jinchuriki is? " Of course she knew what a Jinchuriki was, as the heiress of the Hyuuga clan she knew all of the major powers in the shinobe world and open her mouth to tell him that when the truth hit her and tears came to her eyes. 'It all makes sense now, all the hate and glares, and of course the Hokage make a law to stop people from talking about it, that's why father couldn't tell me. But why Naruto, most Jinchuriki are normally related to their Kage…" the Hyuuga heiress froze as she suddenly remember seeing a photo her father had of the Forth, at the time she was surprise by now much he looked like Naruto… now she realize that it was Naruto that looked like him… and knew why.

N-Naruto, y-your f-f-father" Hinata tried to said.

"I know, Hinata-chan… Azure told me…" Naruto said softy and an uneasy silence fell over then for a few moments before Azure spoke up [I know that this is a lot of data to take in and that you are is processing Hinata-same, but if you stay much longer the risk of your father of one of the Hyuuga elders finding you missing goes over 45%"

The Hyuuga heiress jump as if she was socked "what if I get caught, what will I do, what will I say" she was on the verge of fainting before Azure stopped her [Nebi-san will escort you home, if anyone ask you were you were, you were picking flowers for My Master's grave]

Hinata nodded silently and fallowed the purple-hair woman, the trip back was uneventful, the Transporter-Rings weren't as bad, and the woman Shnshin them through the forest. The Hyuuga heiress got to her room with no problem (The guards outside the compound barely looked at her) and as she lay on her bed one thought echo in her head 'What happens now?'

(Location: Konoha, Date: NA 11-17-1012, 1:00pm)

Two months have pass since the village of Konoha believe the Naruto Uzumaki die, and a change had come over it.

To an outsider it might not be obvious, but for the people living in the village a feeling of gloom had settle over the once joyful place. This came from Naruto's heritage being leak out, much to the horror of the shinobe and villagers, for the ninjas it was that they neglected and failed to protect the son of their greatest hero, but for the villagers it was that the other villages fought out now badly they treated him and now both trade and missions were at an all-time-low.

But the people who knew Naruto were change the most, the Hokage was colder and more serious, Kakashi was now mostly on time (only half an hour late) and Iruka lost most of his joy.

The Students were also change, Sasuke was now ignoring everyone, Sakura was now quiet and distant, Shion was taking to people, Shikamaru now sated awake during class, and Ino now took her training seriously. But the one to change the most was none other than Hinata Hyuuga, after a week or two of depression she not only became happy again but she was more confident and out spoken. This shocked and bewilder almost everyone who knew her, and when they ask about this miraculous change she would simply said "Naruto-kun would have wanted me to never give up"

-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-

Hinata was at the market place with a large basket half full of vegetable, she had just got a very good deal on a dark orange scarf and was planning to give to Naruto (She never was able to give him his birthday present).

As she move through the shops and stalls looking for things to buy she thought of how most things have change for her since she found out that Naruto was alive, the first and foremost was the blond's burden and prophecy. In some weird way it made her own burden lighter and smaller, being a clan heir was nothing to being a Jinchuriki, and no matter how bad an heiress or ninja she was her responsibility was insignificant compare to his, the world was literally at stake.

The second was her new teachers, Anko Mitarashi and Itachi Uchiha, when she first met him she was so terrified that she fainted and was incoherent for 10 minutes, after they calm her down Itachi told her his story. Hinata cry for another 10 minutes and afterwards decided that he was a true shinobe and hero. Anko on the other hand was a shock to her, loud and bold, she had a level of confidence that the Hyuuga heiress could only dream of having one day, but what really surprise her was that the purple hair women had an almost sisterly friendship with Naruto.

Last but not least was Azure, Hinata was absolutely fascinated the Artificial Intelligence and the unworldly knowledge she has, the indigo hair girl was most interest in the advance technology, like the nanites that help save Naruto's life or the cybernetics use to replace his lost arm and eye.

Hinata froze has she caught a glance of something in a pile of cheap jewelry, stepping closer to the stall she saw that it was a pair of bands made of dark blue metal. The Hyuuga heiress was able to hid almost all of her surprise (her father would be proud of her).

The Stallholder looked like some kind of ancient goblin, bald and shrivel with beady green eyes "My name is Yoku, how can I help you young lady"

"How much are those bracelets over there" she gave a small wave, one that made her look curious but not too interested.

A look of greed sparked in the Stallholder eyes "Ah, you have a fine eye there, those bracelets were made in the Land of Iron for a young noble in the Land Water… I will sell them to you, young lade for… 100 Ryo"

Hinata had a harder time hiding her disgust at the Stallholder's greed, it was obvious he knew nothing of bands history or value, they probably were made in the Land of Iron but most likely for a high ranking samurai. She made a show of slowly look back down at the bracelets, they were made of chakra conducing metal and worth at least five times what the Stallholder wanted.

"Thank you, Yoku I would love to buy those bracelets from you" After handing him the money Hinata slowly turn and walk away, she could feel the man's beady eyes fallow her down the road.

Having spent most of her money she decided to visit Naruto, she haven't seen in in a few days and she could give him his scarf. Hinata quickly made her way to forest of death, Anko had shown her the three safe paths that lead through to the tower.

"Good morning Hinata-san, you came to see Naruto" Azure ask as Hinata stop in the ring room "Yes Azure-san, how is he"

"My Master is currently training with Anko, do you want to see him now"

"Yes, please" Hinata said as she stepped into the center of the rings and disappeared.

Hinata reappeared in 'Naruto's room' and sigh at the mess of cloths and instant ramen that Anko smuggle in for the blond knuckle-head, looking around and no seeing said blond Hinata walk down the left hallway. It really surprise her just now large this place was, at the fourth door she heard the sound of laughter and swearing.

Opening the door Hinata saw a amuse Anko sanding over a frustrated Naruto with kunals and a target dummy scatter around them, ever since the operation Naruto's aim been terrible (thought to be fair, it was never that good to begin with), the reason for this was because the bionic blond's new arm was a lot heavier and that weight throw off his balance.

The purple-hair kunoichi finely stop laughing and picked up and handed the scowling jinchuriki three the fallen kunals "Again, Gaki"

Naruto glared at her before taking a calming breath and quickly launching the small weapons, the first two miss completely and the third hit the dummy in the shoulder but bounce off.

Anko started to laugh again.

Naruto, who look like he was about to said something rude and/or childish froze as he saw the indigo-hair girl and turn red instead.

"Ah, if isn't are favorite Hyuuga Princess… now what do we have here" Anko said as she walk over and snatch the orange scarf from the baskit

"It's a gift for Naruto-kun… I wasn't able to give him a birthday present" the pale-eyed girl mumble the last part as she saw Naruto grinning at her from ear to ear and turn bright red.

"Well he won't be getting it any time soon… in less he can hit that target" the snake-summoner grinned evily

"WHAT" both preteens yelled in shock before the Naruto glared at Anko "But I just hit that stupid target"

"Ah, but it bounce off so that don't count" the purple-hair woman shook her head and before anyone could said something else Shunshin away.

"You know that there's no sopping her when she gets like this" Akane whispered from Naruto's mind. Sighing because he knew she was right Naruto turn to his shy friend and mumble "Do you think that you can stay for a while and help me…"

"O-okay, Naruto-kun" Hinata nodded before turning bright red as she realize she would be all alone with Naruto (and completely forgetting that Azure was watching their every move"

-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-

So for the next hour the Hyuuga heiress showed the last Uzumaki how to hold and throw the kunal before he was able to hit the target in the chest, and because Anko wasn't back and Azure told them that she had left the forest the two adolescents moved on to taijutsu.

Naruto had just trip Hinata, who fell on top of him when Anko walks into the room eating a dango with Itachi behind her, the raven-summoner raise an eyebrow at the two while the purple-hair kunoichi grinned evilly "Well, Well who know the Hyuuga Princess would be so quick to go in for the kill"

Hinata turn a brilliant crimson and jumped off of Naruto in a blink of an eye.

Anko laughed at the blond's confuse face before becoming serious "Well gaki, you did well in you training and Azure thinks you're ready for your next lesson"

Naruto and Hinata turn pale, this could not be good "W-what is my next lesson" the young blond ask nervously

The Snake-summoner grin turn sinister "Well we have one month to prepare you for your great challenge… and then… you go back to school"

(Location: Unknown, Date: Unknown)

A dark figure slowly rose out of the ground, wrapped in a ragged black cloak, I was not a man but a terrifying plant-like creature half of it was black and the other half white and had Venus flytrap-like extensions that emerged from its sides, enveloping the creature's head and upper body. The most disturbing thing was the large amount of blood running down the creature's mouth and neck, on the ground next to the plant-like monster was an unconscious man with scars cover one side of his face, and bond in chains.

"Those seals were a bitch to get through" the black-and white being said to himself "Yeah but the guards were tasty"

They were in an underground room with three coffins, the creature walked to the last one which strangely had the kanji for Forth on it. As it study the seals on the coffin the man on the floor woke up, the scared man struggled to get free for a few moments before the plant-like monster spoke up "You can stop wasting your time trying to escape,Obito Uchiha"

The man stop struggling and glare at the black-and white creature "How could you betray me Zetsu and how are you stopping me from using my sharingan"

Zetsu seem to chuckle before the white-half spoke "You Ucuiha all think you're so invincible with your mutate pinkeye, all I did was injected you with a mild neurotoxin which is temporarily relaxing the blood vessels and tenketsu around your eyes"

"You and Madara never were my masters, only puppets to be use for his resurrection… and now it is time, all the pieces have come together"

The plant-man rip open the coffin, ignoring the dozen or so kunals that imbedded themselves in its chest, inside was the almost perfectly preserved body of Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage.

Zetsu tore the shirt off the corpse to revile the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.

Grinning he took out two vials of blood from his cloak and pour then over the seal before impaling it with his right hand, for a moment nothing had, nothing moved, and then.

BOOOM!

The room was envelop in a roaring inferno of black, purple, and red energy, slowly it condense into a black figure outline in violet flames with a single red eye, looking around the fiery being eye fell on the black-and white creature "Is time Zetsu, as Azure final made her move… then it has begun… ah, I see you had a body for me…"

Obito Uchiha has the dark being envelop him…

A few moments later in Obito place stood a tall man with dark tan skin, he had three whiskers on each cheek, long spikey black hair with red highlights, and his eyes where the red orbs of the sharingan. "We have work to do my servant, fallower to gather, lives to destroy, but first you must tell me of his world"

"Yes Master" Zetsu nodded "What should I call you master"

Theshadow man pause "Call me… Zero"

Omake: Anko's Playground

The Eternal chunins Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane made another past around the gates of Training Ground 44 when they heard a terrifying scream.

"NOOOOO, I CAN'T GO BACK I'LL DO ANYTHING…" Izumo and Kotetsu looked at each other What the Hell was that, before they heard the familiar laugher of Konoha's snake mistress "Whahahahah… fool that is no elapse… now shut up before I rip the other one out"

The Eternal Chunins froze as an old thought hit they say 'they say that theirs crazy woman Anko Mitarashi lives in this place and that she cut off guys balls and eat them'

The two chunin turn and ran for their lives, never again entering Anko's playgroung

And there you have it Chapter 3, I have decided to add a Data book a the end of each Arc, it will have info on OCs, Jutsu, and other things
