He actually used his newly formed analyzing brain to use as he replayed the memories.
In a moment everything stopped as Naruto's eyes went blank. At this moment his posture changed drastically. Naruto did not look happy at all. He looked pretty pissed off. He looked at the Kyuubi right in her beautiful red ringed eyes. He growled at her. He said, "Kyuubi, I want you to know this. You better get your perked up and listen well. When I'm at my best I will unlock your cage. No it is not to release you. No, it is to kill you myself"
With that the shadow merged Naruto touched the orb to take control of his body and leave this place. Warrock who still is in a fit of rage was not thinking clearly and was not making any comprehensive words. He kept clawing at the bars. Trying to get the blond hair boy.
Rockman sighed. He said to the Kyuubi, "Kaina-san I don't know what you blocked but what I do know is that if you don't somehow fix this, there will be a big, big problem. Also can you please control that angry brother of yours over there?"
Chapter Three: Search for the Search Soul
Naruto opened his eyes. He looked around and saw that he was in the forest. This forest was located at the very end of Wave. He breathed in the sea salted air. He noticed that his attire changed into that of Shadow Man. He even sees and feels the sword that was on his hip. When he got up from his meditating position he noticed that he felt lighter like a hundred pounds lighter.
He started to climb up the trees as if it was nothing. Once he reached the highest tree he test his agility. He reached the tree that was farthest from him in a mere five seconds flat. Naruto smirked as he felt the air go onto his face at the speed he was going. He must admit he liked this form a lot.
He jumped down from the highest tree and landed on his tippy toes. He was surprised as he felt not even a little bit of pain. He was very happy but because of his mask it did not portray any emotions. Naruto wanted to test something. He put his fingers in a familiar position. Naruto noticed that he did not need to say anything for his favorite jutsu.
He did not even see a poof as his doppelgangers come into existence out of thin air. The three looked liked his orange jumpsuit form. He was curious as to how they were going to fight. He hoped that they would last longer than one hit. He pulled out the sword from his hip. He swung it around patiently waiting for one of the three to attack.
He said, "Give me your best shot." The three came at Naruto. The original Naruto saw an abundant amount of flaws in their fighting. Their attack was abysmal at best. He saw they were battling as if it is do or die. He guessed this is the street fighter mentality. His eyes widened slightly as he noticed that the way they are fighting is the exact same way as he used to fight. He looked at his three bushin and got ready to fight.

Kakashi, Zabuza, Haku, and the rest of Team Seven were at Tazuna's house. Kakashi was nursing his hand while Zabuza is nursing the dog bites. Zabuza noticed that the blond haired kid has been gone for a few hours now. The problem is Kakashi has not said or for that matter care that he is gone. This did not sit right with Zabuza.
Naruto reminded Zabuza of himself. When he was eight years old he killed his whole class. He was then treated as if he was a demon. He was ignored by most. He heard the whispers of the people of how is a devil reborn. It hurt him so much that he stored away most of his emotions. He did not want the kid to be the same way. He guessed that is why he and Kisame were so close.
He said, "Yo, Kakashi, where is the blond haired brat at?"
Kakashi looked up at Zabuza and said, "You said something?" Zabuza had a tick mark on his forehead. Kakashi though was worried about the boy but for a totally different reason. He thought to himself, 'Where is he? I can't afford to fail my mission again. I just can't.'
As these thoughts clouded Kakashi's mind, someone came into the house. The heads of everyone saw Naruto come into the house all tattered up. Naruto was panting with blood coming down his mouth. To avoid anymore suspicions he went back to his orange jumpsuit. He said, "Hey everyone!"
Kakashi was the first to ask a question, "Naruto, where did you go?"
Naruto said, "Oh you know me I was just over training so I can be the strongest Hokage to ever exist! Datteabyo!" Everyone shook their heads. Naruto did have one thought that went through his mind. 'Did everyone just up and forget what transpired with my transformation?'
What Naruto didn't know was that one person was seething in rage. Sasuke Uchiha was that person. He heard the story from Sakura that Naruto gained this new form and how he killed all the bandits including Gato. Of course Sakura tried to inflate Sasuke's deflated ego. She actually made it worse.
If what she said is true then the 'Dobe' is not really the Dobe at all. Where was he hiding this power? When was he getting this strong. Is the 'dobe' just another title that has no meaning in the shinobi world? What is the point of being called Rookie of the Year if it holds no weight? Sasuke's thoughts were causing him to go angry.
He said to Naruto, "Dobe, Fight Me!" Naruto who was going upstairs stopped for a quick moment. He said, "No. Maybe later I'm going to bed."
Sasuke was extremely pissed that Naruto passed on his invitation to a fight. He thought, 'How dare this clanless no name dare defy me an Uchiha? He should practically be begging for a chance to try and prove himself to an elite like myself. I will make him pay!"
He said, "Dobe, I demand you to fight me right here, right now!" Everyone looked at Naruto to see his response. Naruto stopped again and looked at the Uchiha. Naruto shrugged his shoulders as he said, "That's nice". Naruto finally went upstairs and disappeared from view. The Uchiha punched the wall as he was for the first time since the Uchiha Massacre denied something.
Obviously, Sasuke didn't take it well. Kakashi put a hand on the Uchiha. He told Sasuke to stay downstairs tonight. He 'wanted' him to watch Zabuza and Haku. Kakashi had plans he had to take care of. Sakura volunteered to help Sasuke as she wanted to watch this Haku woman to make sure she doesn't take her man. Kakashi actually smiled at this. That means he doesn't have to waste chakra to use the sharingan on someone.
He poofed as he waved his hand. He went to Naruto's room. Zabuza grunted as he was suspicious of Team Seven. He wanted to know what Kakashi was up to. He decided to keep his guard up. Meanwhile Haku was doing something else.
Haku was talking to Sakura about girl stuff. Do to the effect of always being on the run with Zabuza, Haku never had a chance to create a relationship with anyone other than Zabuza. She asked Sakura about Konoha.
"Sakura-san, how is it in Konoha?"
Sakura said, "Oh My God, It is so amazing! They have a variety of different malls and stores. They also have every diet pills around. They have the most famous designers like Chanel. You have to seriously come to Konoha! We could become the most stylish shinobi ever. Then I could marry Sasuke-kun and you could marry some rich clansmen. It will be amazing." Sakura squealed in delight.
Haku was a little bit confused. She thought, 'was this all she cared about?' She asked, "Sakura-san, how are bloodline users treated at Konoha? How about the shinobi stores? How about the foods there? How about Konoha in general?"
Sakura was at the part of a dream in which she and her knight in vampiric armor were being wed. She shaken out of her daydreaming by Haku. She said, "Well let's see the bloodlines are treated as gods. Sasuke-kun has the greatest bloodline of all the Sharingan. So he deserves to be treated as such. My mother is on the council so I don't need a bloodline to be treated respectfully. You will be fine if you stick with me.
The food is alright but I don't eat all that much. After all why would I need to eat if I have such a beautiful and fantastic body." she stopped her speech to rub and pat herself down. Haku noticed that she is skipping the kunoichi answers. This is seriously killing her. Could she become a med-nin? What rank she would be, she was really afraid to ask.
Haku thought about what could she really talk Sakura about. She said, "Sakura-san, can you tell me about Naruto's life in Konoha?"
Sakura was going to say something smug about Naruto but noticed she doesn't have much to say about Naruto. She knows that he is loud and brash. She knew that was the Dobe. She knew that he was not from any clan. She also knows that he liked her. That's about it.
She pierced her lips. She didn't know if he had a bloodline. This scared her. How did she not know her teammate? She should at least know his birthday, right? She said to Haku, "Naruto is known as the Dobe as he was the last one to graduate from our class. He is loud and brash. He is an eyesore with that orange on. That is all I really know about him other than he wanting to be the best Hokage ever."
Haku was taken back by the fact that Naruto was the 'Dead Last' in his class and that he wanted to be the leader of the village. She wanted to know more about the enigma that is Naruto. It seemed that Sakura did not have the information she seeked.
Haku then asked her about the Uchiha. "Sakura-san, can you tell me about Sasuke-san?"
Sakura was happy of course. She had a chance to talk about Sasuke. She said, "Sasuke-kun is the best. He is from the best clan to ever exist, the Uchiha Clan. He has the best bloodline in the world known as the Sharingan."
As she was rambling about the Uchiha, the named Uchiha was having an internal battle with himself. He thought, 'If all of that is true about the Sharingan and how powerful I am then why is it that the clanless Dobe was able to beat a person that I couldn't? I have a mass of jutsus that I could learn and use but the Dobe was able to beat her. It's Naruto and Itachi's fault as to why I'm so weak. If the Dobe and Useless over there was not on my team then I would be able to train to my fullest potential. I'm going to ask Kakashi about that. After all it's Sharingan to Sharingan. He will have no other choice than to help me.'
With this line of thinking Sasuke started to daydream on how to kill his older brother and the 'Dobe'.

Kakashi had gathered his things. He has another mission that he was assigned. In his hands, he has a brush, ink, a scroll, a sealing book, a tranquilizer and a kunai. He snuck up into Naruto's temporary room. He saw that Naruto was sleep. Kakashi walked in there stealthily. He pulled out the sealing ink and brush. He pulled out the old rusty book.
He lifted up Naruto's shirt. He dipped the brush into the ink. He started to write runes on his stomach. As each stroke went onto Naruto's body it started to burn onto his skin. After about what seemed like fifty lines Kakashi drew a circle on Naruto's naval. He then took out the special kunai. The kunai had many different runes and markings.
Kakashi put his chakra into the kunai. The runes started to interlock with each other. It started glow a golden hue. Kakashi lifted the kunai up and stabbed the kunai directly into Naruto's naval. The seals started started ride all over Naruto's body. But to the shock and anger of Kakashi, the 'Naruto' on the bed was actually a Kage Bushin.
All of this work was for nothing. He failed his mission all because of one fucking Kage Bushin. Then a thought went across his mind. Where is Naruto?
XXXXXXXXXXX Outside of Wave XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile Naruto was in a tree looking down a bandit camp.
(Flashback)
Naruto was trying to sleep in the bed. When he was reaching Rapid Eye Movement or also known as REM, he felt a thought come into his mind. He saw a bandit camp with bandits taking women. He shot up as he didn't know how the images appeared in his head.
Shadow Man then spoke to him is mind. "Naruto what you just received were the memories of the Kage Bushin that I told you to put out there. When Kage Bushin dispel they give their memories to either other Kage Bushin or the summoner or both. The problem is that they are able to he dispelled quickly. I figured out a way to utilize them. Since I'm that of stealth I can use them for quick killing. I was also able to get over the stepping of the gray smoke. Now they disappear in thin air. "
Naruto was in awe. He got up as he has this hero bravado because of that Rock dude. He summoned a Kage Bushin to stay there for appearances. He opened up the window and jumped out ready to go take care of these bandits. The Kage Bushin laid in the bed as it played the ever enigma known as Naruto.
(Flashback End)
Naruto in his Shadow Mode was scoping around the bandit Camp. He noticed there was three weak spots. The first was at the right. The second was on top surprisingly. The third was in the back. He summoned five Kage Bushin. Their mission was simple, take out the ten guards as silently as possible.
They swooped down and used their swords and kunai to easily disable and kill the guards. They easily got rid of the bodies. Naruto made ten more Kage Bushin to take their places and even had them look just like them. Naruto just waited until deep night time to strike.
Meanwhile inside the main bandit camp Raika was twirling a kunai. He has green hair that matches his eyes. He was about five feet five inches tall. The only reason he was excepted here was because of his ability. He is able to search, discover and destroy an opponent within thirty seconds. This means he could find the person anywhere in the world. The reason he is not being recruited by different countries is the fact that he is impossible to find.
In fact the only reason he is in this bandit team is because he is looking for someone. He wants to find the person that is supposed to kill him. Yes, he has a death wish. He wants to atone for what he has done over his tenure as a missionary. He looked at the emblem with the two bars that were perpendicular to each other. He felt it pulse as he felt the opponent that will be able to defeat him. Now he has to patiently wait.

Naruto saw that moon was being covered by a cloud. He smirked slightly as this was the perfect night to finish these bandits off. He went down to the right bandit tent. He peeked in to see this camp is where they held the women. It disgusted Naruto that people would do this. He was taught not to let his emotions get the better of him but it was so much harder to do that when you see at least twenty or so women that are stripped of not only their clothes but the dignity and some even their virginity.
Naruto snuck in. Without anyone seeing Naruto, he quickly killed the twenty or so bandits that were molesting and raping the women. He cut the women free from their binds. He said to them, "Be quiet my Bushin will guide you back into Wave. For this to happen you must be extremely silent." The girls nodded as the two Bushin that were henged into the two guards came into the scene.
Naruto left as quickly as possible. He had to infiltrate the next one. The next weakness spot he attacked was the back. Surprisingly the back was the weaponry. The weaponry had many new technological weapons such as high tech bombs, bazookas that uses chakra, snipers and etc. Shadow Man was practically drooling at the silencer. The weaponry was not very guarded. It was guarded by eight people.
The bandits were sleeping. Naruto could not believe it. How are you sleeping while you are suppose to guard the weapons. Naruto did a silent sigh as he pulled out his sword. He swiftly killed the eight men. He looked at the weapon and swiftly put the weapons in the scroll. There was a weapon that glowed.
It was a sword. It was a bluish green. The sword had a symbol on the hilt. The symbol was a Z. Naruto did not recognize the sword but he could feel the power inside of it. He touched the sword. The power coursed through his body. He gritted his teeth from the pain. A vision appeared to Naruto.
It was a picture of a person with a metallic red body suit. The person has blonde hair on the back. He has a blue sphere on the top of his head. He has golden eyes. He has spikes on his head and shoulders. He looked right into Naruto's eyes. He said, "Well I guess you are Mega Man's successor."
Naruto was about to reply when the person cut him off, "Don't bother lying. I can see the heroism in you as I saw in him. Heh, well I'm here to tell you that you can temporarily use this sword. Trust me on this we will face and I will show you who is the one true force."
Naruto had one question he needed answered, "Who are you?"
The red suited guy smirked as he walked a way. He said one word before he left the vision, "Zero".
Naruto felt the sword become practically weightless. It became strangely balance. He felt his chakra being pulled into the sword. He got of there quickly and left. Naruto got up and went on top of the central base. He looked down to see five leaders and they were discussing about a coup 'd tat of Wave. Naruto saw the green haired guy.
Raika knew that Naruto was up there. Yet the whole reason he is not attacking is because for the first time in a very long time he was going to fight one on one. He is going to take care of these assholes first. His hand turned into a sniper rifle. His eye gained a radar. The five leaders looked at Raika as if he was crazy.
The main leader of the group asked, "Raika, what the hell are you doing?"
Raika just smirked as he said, "Finishing some business" In what felt like a second the five leaders had bullets in their head and dropped dead. Raika said, "Shinobi-san, you can come down now." Naruto dropped with the Z Saber in battle position. He said, "Whoever you are why did you kill you comrades?"
Raika said, "They were never my comrades. They needed to die for what their heinous crimes. In addition they were in the way of a battle."
Naruto was confused about the battle part. "Who is battling? There is no battling going on."
Raika did a dry chuckle. He said, "The battle is between you and I. Where are my manners? My name is Raika no surname. What is your name, Shinobi-san?"
Naruto answered quickly, "Naruto Uzumaki"
Raika's eyes widened for a moment but he did not say anything. He looked him up and down. He saw that the 'Uzumaki' has this thirst to save the day, to become a hero. He felt that energy coming off of Naruto in waves. He saw it in his posture. He was sure that this was the kind of guy he wanted to die by. Of course he wanted to fight him to see if he is truly worthy.
He said, "Well Naruto the look in your eyes tell me you want to know more about me. Well I will start off like this. I am an S -Ranked nuke ninja."
Naruto's eyes went wide. Right in front of him is an S -Ranked ninja. He knew for sure he is way over his head in this battle. How in Kami's name in hell can he beat an S -Ranked nuke ninja or for that matter escape for his life. He tightened his grip on the Z Saber.
Raika had a smile on his face. He continued, "How I became one is something that will haunt me to my grave. Eight years ago, I once was a ninja for Teigakure No Sato (The Village Hidden in the Air). I was a pure example of a true shinobi. I followed orders to a letter. We were at the time we were at war. We were simply the auxiliary village for the Ta no Kuni (Land of Rice Fields). One day though, I found out that our leader was destroying small countries just for the sake of it. We were not even supposed to be involved in the war.
I saw so many of my real comrades and friends dead. I was so angry about the fact that so many died in vain that we that I rebelled. There was a rebel group of about 200 hundred men and women that seemed liked they cared about rebuilding the country anew. In a rage clouded state of mind they gave me an order. The order was too kill the village. Although it was not the easiest things to do. I did it. I killed them all men, women and children. I killed the guilty and the innocent.
I found out that the so called rebels did this to use the village for their own reasons. So I killed them also. After the rush of adrenaline left, I started to have nightmares. I saw the little kids that I killed in cold blood. I was mentally becoming weak. That was not the only thing that was making me weak. I found out that my weapon the gun that you saw kill those five bandits, has a price for its precision. It starts to take chakra. It took .01 percent of chakra for every shot.
So imagine years of killing and the mental tiredness can do to a person's body. I have wanted to die for so long. Yet, I have to find someone to beat me. You are the one that I believe can take me out of my misery. I feel it in you."
Naruto was shocked. "How can you say that I am the one to kill you? You are an S -Ranked Ninja." Naruto asked.
Raika said, "Naruto-san, I see this power in you. It is like the same power as I have but different. I'm called Search Man because I can find anybody and anyone within 20 seconds. I can also search a person's soul. It is just that I can't look into mine. I will always be confused. I hope you can give me the thing I seek the most."
Naruto said, "What is it that you seek?"
Raika said, "Peace". Then he transformed into a battle armored ninja. His clothes became black and green. He has a scoping eye. He also has orange hair. The big difference is the big rifle that became his hand. He also has a helmet on with a radio receiver on top.
He said, "Well Naruto time for chit chat is over. Let's fight." Raika came at Naruto with three bullets. Naruto was able to dodge bullets only to meet a knee to the chin. He was able to lesson the blow by putting his hands up. Naruto did a back flip and landed on his feet. He then pulled out six kunais, three for each hand.
He threw them at Raika at blind like speed. Raika smirked as he shot six bullets to counter act the kunais. He taunted Naruto by saying, "Ah, ah, ah, that won't work with me Naruto. You have to do better than that to defeat me."
Naruto was glad that Shadow Man has taught him or install how to stay calm in battle. He started to run in circles around Raika. One Naruto suddenly became two, then to four, then to eight. Raika started to become 'dizzy'. Raika then was getting cut with different slashes from the different Narutos. Then Naruto kicked Raika out of the center.
Raika hit the floor with an 'oof'. Raika smirked slightly. He found Naruto's weakness in his attack. He was going to play along as this battle was actually becoming fun. He got up to see Naruto looking at him. Naruto said, "Well Raika, I guess that was a little bit better don't you think?"
Raika laughed as he got up. He saw nine Naruto's looking at him. He knew which one was which, but that takes the fun out of it. He held out his rifle arms and said, "Well the best way to tell is if everyone gets one bullet in their body." He shot nine bullets at the Narutos. The bullets hit every single Narutos or tried to. What surprised him was the great concentration of the clones used their swords to cut the bullets in half.
That was definitely unexpected. He was once again being circled by the clones. He said, "You know Naruto I have another ability. Lock On" As soon as he said that the real Naruto had an invisible target placed on him. Raika fired in a total different direct. Yet it still hit the real Naruto dead on. The eight different Naruto disappeared into thin air. Naruto on the other hand was hit up against the wall.
Naruto slumped down on the wall. It was mostly because of shock that he got hit. He got up shakily. He pulled out the Z Saber. Raika recognized the sword. He knew the match is going to be over very soon. The sword is known as the closer. If you see that cursed sword once it will be your last. He was able to drop his rifle. He did a few hand signs and raised his hand.
He said, "Naruto-san this is my ultimate attack. Meet Teisatsueisei Sousaku Bakuha (Satellite Search Blast)!" Naruto was scared as shit. He felt the particles in the air rising. The particles became glowing bubbles. It is started to spin around as they clump together. Then the bubbles became a straight light. It came right at Naruto. A big explosion occurred.
Raika was panting as that used up the last of his chakra. He was sweating as it was all over. He could not find the person who could help him search for his peace. He kept thinking that until he felt cold steel on his neck. His eyes widened as he thought that Naruto did not survive the attack.
Naruto said, "That's an amazing attack but it has one flaw. If a person moves fast enough the attack will be useless. I guess that was your final attack. I guess this really is the end."
Raika did a shallow chuckle. He said, "Well done Naruto-san. In my pocket there is an emblem. That emblem is what gave me my powers. I call it Search Soul. It gives you the feeling to be able to find, search, save, and help people. I went against it when I used it to kill innocents. It ate me alive because I didn't stay true or pure. I believe you will be able to master this power.
I think I'm ready to face my demons. I will finally have peace." He closed his eyes as Naruto decapitated him. Raika the S -Ranked Nuke Ninja, that was the predecessor of Itachi's Clan Massacre, laid lifeless and headless on the floor. Naruto sighed as he put the head in a scroll and took the Search Emblem in his pocket.
Naruto then bombed the whole place. He walked out only running on only adrenaline. He looked up and it was morning. When he trekked his way back to Tazuna's house he say Kakashi, Zabuza and the rest working out. Naruto crepted back into the bedroom and fell back asleep.
He didn't go to sleep. After all Rockman has something to tell Naruto. Meanwhile the Z Saber started to course through Naruto's body.
Author's Note: ok done with this chapter. Next is the filler. The reason I am not doing the Search profile is because he didn't get that form just yet. It will explain what Kakashi is up to and why Sasuke hates his brother. The question is who is Zero? What are his motives? Why does he let Naruto use his sword? All of that will be answered soon. Tune in to find out.
