Hokage Tower
"Why does paperwork always seem to increase each day." complain the 5th Hokage. The 5th Hokage is Tsunade Senju, granddaughter of the 1st Hokage Hashirama Senju, and is also one of the three legendary Sannin. A black hair woman enter the room, holding a stack of paper in her hand, with a pig wearing a pearl necklace following her.
"Lady Tsunade, some more paperwork has come in." said the black hair woman. Tsunade could only sigh as her assistant put more paperwork on her desk.
"Hey Shizune, how's Naruto doing?" ask Tsunade.
"Naruto seemed fine when I checked him out." replied the black hair woman known as Shizune. "Knowing him, what's coming up is obvious right?" Tsunade nodded.
"Even though I declared it as a Kinjutsu, I get the feeling his going to try to find a method to use his new technique without damaging his arm." Tsunade said.
"Do you think he can do it Lady Tsunade?" asked Shizune. Tsunade smirked.
"That knucklehead is known for doing the impossible, he'll find a way. Tsunade picked her tea cup, and open her eyes to see it had a crack. "What the-"
"What happen, was it too hot for the cup?" asked Shizune surprise to see Tsunade's cup to have a crack.
"Shizune... I have a bad feeling." said Tsunade.
"What do you mean?" asked Shizune.
"And knowing my luck... my bad feeling is usually right."
Konoha Streets
"Man sneaking in as a merchant was a lot easier then I thought." commented a young man in his mind. The young man has dark jet black hair, and has light yellow eyes. He is wearing a short sleeve blue shirt with a design on his right sleeve, that looked like a black spiral. Wearing dark brown pants, with black combat boots. This man is Yuri. Yuri is now heading towards the Hokage Tower to speak with the Hokage.
Hokage Tower
"Hello good sirs." greeted Yuri as he saw two jonins at the entrance.
"Um hi, how can we help you?" asked one of the jonin.
"I was wondering if I can meet with the Hokage, and I'm wondering if I'm at the right place." said Yuri with a nervous chuckle. The two jonin looked at Yuri suspiciously.
"And why do you want to meet with the Hokage?" question the other jonin.
"You see I'm a new merchant here, and I was thinking of selling my valuables here." answered Yuri. "I believe I need the Hokage permission correct?"
"If your a merchant, where's your valuables?" question the first jonin.
"Ah, you see I left my items back at the hotel I'm staying at." said Yuri quickly coming up with a lie. "I've travel a long way carrying all those items don't want to cause any back pain." Yuri chuckle nervously as he scratch the back of his head.
"Hmph, well if your thinking of selling merchandise here in Konoha, you need to see the Hokage's assistant, Shizune, for some paperwork." said the second jounin.
"Assistant, since when does Sarutobi needed a assistant?" thought Yuri in confusion. Yuri nodded in thanks to the two jounin started to lead him towards this "Shizune" person. The three had reach their destination.
"Shizune through this door." said the jounin as the two ninjas simply left.
"Wonder what this "Shizune" person is like." thought Yuri as he enter the room. Yuri entered the room to see a young black hair woman sorting out paper. The black hair woman turned around surprise to Yuri standing there.
"Oh, excuse me." said the black hair woman. "How can I help you?"
"Wow, she's beautiful, really hoping this woman is Shizune." thought Yuri. "Um, are you Shizune?" The woman nodded. "Then your the person I'm looking far! You see I'm a new merchant here, and according to some jounins I'm require to do some paperwork?"
"That's right, after I'm done with all this work, we can get started on your paperwork." said Shizune.
"Well... actually I was wondering if I can meet your Hokage face to face." said Yuri.
"You want to meet with Lady Tsunade?" question Shizune.
"Lady Tsunade? So Sarutobi stepped down after all?" thought Yuri.
"Well you can meet with Lady Tsunade, but it will take a several days." answered Shizune.
"Days!?" said Yuri in shock. "No no no you don't understand I have to meet with her now!"
"I'm sorry sir, but you have to understand Lady Tsunade is very busy, and she has other appointments to attend to." said Shizune. Yuri sighed. Seeing how meeting with the Hokage is impossible, it's best to take a different approach.
"Right I understand I'll come back at a later date." said Yuri.
"Thank you for understanding sir." said Shizune with a slight bow as Yuri left.
Konoha Streets
"Oh man what I am going to do, I can't wait for several days to meet with the Hokage." Yuri mentally sighed. Yuri took a glance to his right to see a figure on a rooftop. Yuro narrowed his eyes. "So those bastards are here to huh?"
Training Ground 3
"Oh come on Shikamaru you got to tried harder than that!" shouted a girl with platinum blonde hair girl. This girl is Ino Yamanaka, member of team 10.
"Troublesome." muttered a boy with his hair looking like a pineapple whose name is Shikamaru Nara, he is also a member of team 10.
"Come on Ino, why can't we just relax." pouted a boy with a rough physique. This boy is Choji Akimichi, member of team 10 as well.
"Choji you saw how Naruto defeated that Akatsuki member, we got to step our game up!" said Ino.
"Ino, I understand we have to get stronger to beat the Akatsuki, but we just defeated the Immortal duo of the Akatsuki, let's take it easy for today." yawned Shikamaru.
"You two are way to relax." said Ino as she rubbed her forehead in frustration.
"E-excuse me." Team 10 looked over to see a young woman with long purple hair that goes down to her waist, and has hazel colored eyes. She is wearing a strapless red dress with ruffles at the end of the dress which just goes above her knees, along with wearing dark red heels. On her index finger is a violet ring, and on her pinkie she is wearing a purple ring.
"Wow she's beautiful." whispered Choji with a little blush.
"Who is she. and where did she come from?" whispered Ino.
"That's a weird attire she's wearing." thought Shikamaru as he felt something... suspicious about this lady. "Yes how can we help you?" Shikamaru knows there is something... off about this lady. "Best keep my guard up."
"Um... I was wondering if you three can help me with something." said the lady shyly. Team 10 looked at her in confusion.
A little further away from Training Ground 3
Heading towards Training Ground 3 is two individuals. One is a male with blonde spiky hair, and blue eyes. Next to him is a girl with short pink hair, and green eyes. Their names are Naruto Uzumaki, and Sakura Haruno, both members of team 7.
"Okay Sakura it's time for me to get practicing to master the Rasen-Shuriken!" said Naruto with determination.
"Naruto how are you going to master it, when your not allow to use it." argued Sakura. "Remember, it causes cellular damage to your arm. You got lucky last time, but if next time it damages your arm even more, you won't be able to use another jutsu again!" Naruto pouted as he crossed his arms.
"I know, that's what bothers me." said Naruto. "I was able to complete the Rasengan, something the 4th Hokage couldn't do, and I can't even use it."
"Naruto I know your determine, but I don't think there's a way to use Rasen-Shuriken without damaging your arm." said Sakura.
"No, I know there's a way, and I'm going to find it, believe me!" Naruto said in determination. Sakura sighed, but then couldn't help but smile.
"He's so determine, makes me want to believe he can do it." thought Sakura. A big explosion coming from Training Ground 3 took Sakura out of her thoughts as herself, and Naruto looked at the direction leading towards Training Ground 3.
"W-what was that?" asked Sakura in shocked.
"It came from the training ground, Sakura let's go!" Naruto started to run towards the training grounds along with Sakura following him.
Training Ground 3
"Who is this lady?" thought Shikamaru as he was kneeing on the ground in pain. The lady is sitting on a log with her legs crossed, and had a smirk on her face.
"I can't believe your still conscious." commented the lady. "To be honest between the three of you, I believe you were the weakest." Shikamaru took a glance at his teammates. Both Ino, and Choji were knocked out.
"Ino, Choji shouldn't have let your guard down." thought Shikamaru as he grinded his teeth.
"Well looks can be deceiving as they say." the lady shrugged, not really caring. A tiger, whose skin blue, with it's stripes looked like they were made of purple flame, is walking in circle around the logs.
"Kotora can you please be a sweetie, and finish off this pest." smiled the lady. The tiger known as Kotora growled, and leaped towards Shikamaru. Shikamaru closed his eyes waiting for the pain to come... but it never came? Shikamaru opened his eyes to see Sakura punching Kotora! Kotora was sent flying towards back to the lady, but made a quick recovery mid-air.
"Shikamaru you alright?" asked Sakura as Naruto landed next to Sakura. Sakura looked over to Ino, and Choji.
"Ino, Choji!" gasped Sakura as she rushed over to heal the two. Naruto glared at the lady.
"Alright, who are you, and why'd you attack Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino!" yelled Naruto.
"Oh my what rude little boy we have here!" said the lady in fake surprised as she placed her hand on her cheek. Naruto's head started to show veins as he looked at the lady in anger.
"Little boy! You don't look that much older than me!" yelled Naruto pointing angrily at the lady. The lady smirked as she started to lick her lips.
"Hmm your an excited one aren't you." commented the lady.
"Alright I'm done healing Ino, an Choji, Shikamaru your next." said Sakura.
"Thanks Sakura." said Shikamaru.
"Do you know who she is?" asked Sakura.
"No, she came to us. and attacked us by surprised." answered Shikamaru.
"What do you want from us!" shouted Naruto angrily.
"Oh nothing really." replied the lady. "Just the destruction of Konoha is all I'm after." Naruto, Sakura, and Shikamau glared at the lady.
"Why would you do that!" shouted Sakura.
"To make sure Konoha doesn't get in my master's way!" exclaimed the lady with a big smile on her face. Naruto lunged at her in rage.
"LIKE HELL WE'RE GOING TO LET THAT HAPPEN!" shouted Naruto in rage. The lady chuckled as her pet, Kotora appeared right in front of Naruto, and smacked him with his tail, sending the Uzumaki back towards his two teammates.
"Ugh... is that a tiger?" asked Naruto as he rubbed his cheek.
"Yes this is my sweetie, Kotora, but unfortunately he won't be staying with us." said the lady as a purple circle appear below Kotora, and suddenly vanished!
"W-what was that!" exclaim Naruto in shock.
"The tiger just vanished!"said Shikamaru in shock.
"Was that some teleportation jutsu?" question Sakura. The lady chuckled.
"Silly little girl, my techniques doesn't involve any jutsu like you ninjas use." smirked Kotora as she jumped off the log she was sitting on.
"Not... jutsu, then what kind of technique is she using?" thought Shikamaru. The lady placed her hands on the ground, and this time two purple circle's appear on the ground. Two snakes appeared, and twirled around the lady's arms.
"Wait." said Naruto. "Is she using the summoning jutsu?"
"Didn't you hear me before, I'm not using any jutsu." said the lady. "But you are half correct, I am summoning."
"So she's a summoning user?" said Shikamaru in confusion.
"Though I wonder how much of a threat two small snakes are going to do?" question Sakura.
"Who says I'm letting my two pets fight." smirked the lady. Naruto, Sakura, and Shikamaru looked at her in confusion. The two snakes started to slither down to the lady's stomach, and started to glow purple. The two snakes started to entered in the lady's stomach causing the three ninja looked at her in shock. The lady started to glow purple. The lady's iris started to change similar to a snake. She started to grow small fangs in her mouth. And she started to grow black tattoos on her arms, and face. She gave the three shinobi an evil smirk.
"Now let the fun begin!" roared the lady. Shikamaru eyes widen.
"Back up!" yelled Shikamaru. Shikamaru and Sakura quickly jumped back as the lady started to slithered across the ground like a snake. Naruto, out of instinct, did a hand sign resembling like a cross.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" shouted Naruto as three Naruto appeared right in front of the original Naruto surprising the lady. The lady had bite down on one of the clones neck, making it poof in smoke. The original Naruto, and the two clones all punched the lady at the same time. The lady smirked as she hurling mid-air but made a quick recovery. The lady dashed towards the three Narutos. In one quick move the lady was able to defeated the two clones with ease. Naruto started his attack with a punch, but the lady was able to evade Naruto's attack. The lady strike Naruto in the stomach with three quick jabs. Naruto dropped to the ground, and tried to sweep the lady's feet off the ground. The lady jumped dodging Naruto's attack, and slammed both feet into Naruto's face. Naruto rolled out the way dodging her attack.
"Okay she's good." Naruto said to himself.
"Naruto you okay?" asked Shikamaru as himself, and Sakura jumped next to him ready to join the fight.
"I'm fine, but this lady is no joke." said Naruto.
"Hey I want to ask you something!" called out Sakura.
"Sakura what are you doing?" question Shikamaru. '"This is no time for us to be asking questions." But Sakura ignored him.
"Are... are you working for Orochimaru?" question Sakura glaring at the lady.
"Orochimaru?!" Naruto in shock. "Why would you ask that?"
"Well... are you?" shouted Sakura losing her patience.
"Orochimaru." repeated the lady. "Ah yes, the Sannin that deals with snakes. I can see why you would you ask since, I just summon two snakes, but to answer your question... it's difficult.
"What do you mean difficult!" exclaim Naruto.
"I do know of him, since my master has dealt business with him." said the lady.
"So you are working for him!" said Sakura clenching her fist. The lady laughed.
"Working for him... is not the best way to word it." said the lady. "I only work for my master."
"And who I this master you work for?" question Shikamaru.
"I see no point in telling you, since I'm about to kill you all!" The lady started to dashed towards Naruto, Sakura, and Shikamaru with speed they couldn't even follow! A blade made of dark energy landed right in front of the lady making her stop. The lady looked at the blade, and had a excited look on her face.
"Master Xeno, your finally here!" shouted the lady with glee. "To think you came out of the seal so early!"
"Master Xeno?" said Naruto in confusion.
"It's probably her superior." said Shikamaru as he put his guard up.
"Another enemy?" said Sakura in confusion as she put her guard up as well.
"Sorry Asami, but I'm not your master." said a voice. The lady, now named Asami, looked alerted.
"Wait that voice." exclaim Asami in shocked. Yuri jumped in front of Naruto, Sakura, and Shikamaru.
"What's up Asami." smirked Yuri.
"YURI!" growled Asami in anger.
"Oh come on, don't give me that look." said Yuri in a mock hurt tone. "We haven't seen each other in 2 years, how about a hug?"
"YURI!" yelled Asami as she launched herself at Yuri with fast speed. Yuri smirked as he grabbed Asami's face, and threw her in the air. Asami landed on the ground, and glared at Yuri. She slammed her hands on the ground as two summoning circles appeared. Two snakes made of purple energy came out dashing towards Yuri. Yuri disappeared from the two snakes sight, and appeared right behind them swiping them in his hand. Black aura started came out of Yuri's hand, and dissolve the two snakes. Asami appeared right behind Yuri ready to thrust her hand right through Yuri's heart. Without looking Yuri caught Asami's hand, and pinned her to the ground.
"Asami..." Yuri started to say.
"Shut up Yuri I don't want to hear it!" yelled Asami as she glowed purple, and pushed Yuri off of her. Yuri stared at Asami who in return is glaring at him. Naruto, Sakura, and Shikamaru were starring at the two in shock.
"Who is this guy." asked Sakura.
"He was able to match this lady's speed, and evade her attacks." said Naruto.
'Question is... is he an ally or foe?" question Shikamaru. "He seems to know this lady."
"But... his fighting her, so they must be enemies, and possibly our ally." said Naruto.
"Probably, but we shouldn't let our guard down." said Sakura with Shikamaru nodding in agreement.
"Yuri if your here, then that means you guys are already making your move." growled Asami.
"That's right." nodded Yuri.
"I better return then... Shiro probably waiting for me." said Asami as a summoning circle appeared below her.
"Wait Asa-" Yuri started to yell out but stopped as Asami glared at Yuri.
"Yuri...always remember your head is mine." said Asami as she vanished from sight. Yuri sighed as he scratch his head.
"I'll get through to her... someday... somehow." said Yuri to himself. Yuri looked over to Naruto, Sakura, and Shikamaru. The three quickly took out their kunais.
"Stop right there!" exclaim Sakura as Yuri stopped walking towards the three. Are you an ally or foe?" Yuri blinked at the three, and sighed.
"I just helped you three I have no reason to attack you, and besides-" Yuri disappeared from their sight surprising them. "If I was your enemy couldn't I just kill you right now?" finished Yuri appearing behind them.
"I didn't even see him move." thought Shikamaru with a surprise look on his face.
"Just how strong is he?" thought Sakura with the same look.
"But... you guys are just ninjas so it's understandable to question people you just met." smiled Yuri. Naruto, Sakura, and Shikamaru dropped their guard down sensing no hostile from Yuri.
"My name s Yuri." greeted Yuri.
"Shikamaru Nara." said Shikamaru simply.
"From the Nara Clan huh?" Yuri said as he stared at Shikamaru. "Are you Shikaku's kid by any chance?"
"You know my dad?" question Shikamaru in shock. Yuri nodded.
"You look just like him couldn't help, and see the resemblance." said Yuri. Yuri turned to Sakura.
"My name is Sakura Haruno, Thank you for helping us." said Sakura.
"No problem, I'm just glad I got here in time before she decided to stopped playing with you." said Yuri.
"She was just playing around?" question Sakura in surprised. Yuri nodded.
"Yeah she's not one to mess with, she's really strong.' said Yuri. "A lot stronger than last time." Yuri turned to Naruto.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and your looking at the next hokage." smiled Naruto.
"Hokage huh?" smirked Yuri. "Well you got spirit, who knows you might just make it!"
"Just you watch, I'm going surpassed every hokage before me." smirked Naruto.
"I look forward to it." said Yuri. "speaking of Hokage, I was wondering if you guys can help me get a meeting with her."
"You want to meet with Lady Tsunade?" asked Sakura.
"Yes it's very urgent." said Yuri seriously.
"Why do you want to meet with her?" question Shikamaru.
"Let's say it has to do with Asami." said Yuri.
"Wait you know why she came here?" asked Naruto. Yuri nodded. Naruto, Sakura, and Shikamaru looked at each other and nodded.
"Alright let's wake up our friends first, and we'll take you to Lady Tsunade." said Shikamaru.
Hokage Tower
"So Team 8, Team Gai I suppose your here for another mission." said Tsunade.
"Yeah I say we're ready for another mission, after that last mission we did a few days ago, this will be a breeze too." said a boy with red markings on his cheek. This Kiba Inuzuka, member of Team 8. "Right Akamaru?"
"Woof!" barked a big white dog as he wag his tail. This is Akamaru, Kiba's partner.
"Even though Kiba your the one who blew our cover with that mission." said a boy wearing a hood. This is Shino Aburame, member of Team 8.
""What you say Shino!" yelled Kiba. "I didn't gave our location away, right Hinata?"
"W-well Kiba... you did kinda... yelled out pretty loudly. Said a girl with long dark blue hair. This is Hinata Hyuuga, member of Team 8.
"What even you Hinata!"cried Kiba.
"So it all points to you." said Shino.
"Oh shut it Shino!" exclaimed Kiba. pointing at the bug user.
"Now, now we shouldn't waste our youthful energy we should save it for the mission." said a boy with a bowl cut haircut. This is Rock Lee, member of Team Gai.
"Stay out of it Lee, this is something you don't want to involve yourself in." said a girl with a Chinese bun hair style. This is TenTen, member of Team Gai.
"But TenTen-" Lee continue to say.
"She's right Lee, we should let them handle their problems, and besides I like to have my mission." said a boy with long brown hair tied at the end of it, and have the same eyes as Hinata. This is Neji, member of Team Gai.
"Grandma Tsunade!" shouted Naruto as he burst through the door.
"Geez Naruto you didn't have to barge through the door." said Ino as Shikamaru, Choji, Sakura, Yuri, and herself entered as well.
"She's right Naruto, it's rude to barge in Lady Tsunade's room." said Sakura agreeing with her best friend.
"Isn't it rude to barge in any room period?" question Yuri.
"Oh come on you guys can't lecture me at a time like this!" said Naruto.
"Naruto how many times have I told you not to barge in my room." said Tsunade with a tick mark on her forehead.
"Still the same knucklehead." said Kiba with a smirk. "Haven't grown up at all."
"What'd you say Kiba!" exclaim Naruto as he grew a tick mark on his head.
"Your proving his point." sighed Sakura. Shizune nervously chuckled as she turn her attention to Yuri.
"It's you!" gasped Shizune in shock catching everybody attention.
"Do you know Yuri Lady Shizune?" asked Sakura. Shizune nodded.
"He told me he was a merchant." said Shizune. Naruto, Sakura, and Shikamaru turned to Yuri who was rubbing the back of his head nervously chuckling.
"Merchant?" said Shikamaru not believing Yuri was such a thing.
"Yeah that was a lie I came up with to get in the village." confess Yuri nervously.
"Then if your not a merchant who are you?" question Neji as he activated his Byakugan.
"Woah, woah calm down Neji he's not an enemy he helped us." said Naruto as he stood in front of Neji.
"What do you mean he helped you?" question Neji.
"We were attacked by this lady" replied Choji.
"You were attacked?" question TenTen in shock.
"Tell us what happen." ordered Tsunade.
"Of course Lady Tsunade." Said Shikamaru as Naruto, Sakura and himself explain what happen at Training Ground 3.
"And then Yuri came in, and helped us out." said Naruto finished explaining.
"I can't believe that lady got the jump on us." exclaim Ino in frustration.
"Again, Thanks Shikamaru, Naruto, Sakura." said Choji.
"No problem, no one is attacking my friend while I'm around." smiled Naruto gaving Choji a thumbs up.
"But now," TenTen started to say. "That leaves you... who actually are you, and why are you here."
"Alright, but what I'm about to tell you guys is consider one of Konoha's dark secret, and you may no believe me." said Yuri in a serious tone.
"Konoha's dark secret?" repeated Tsunade in confusion. Yuri started to explain about the history of their world, Xeno, how he is returning, and how he is forming an alliance with Konoha. Everybody looked at Yuri in shocked.
"Are... you serious?" question Naruto in shock.
"T-t-that can't be true." said Neji in equal shock.
"You expect us to believe that crap!" yelled Kiba in disbelief. How could he believe it. Their world is nothing but a piece that use to be combine with other worlds. It sounded something from a children's book.
"Even I have to agree, this is something only a fool would believe." agreed Neji. Tsunade who had her eyes close, have been thinking. It does sound hard to believe, but at the same time...
"Naruto, Sakura, Shikamaru, what do you three think." asked Tsunade.
"Even if it sounds far fetched... I believe him." said Shikamaru surprising everyone except Naruto, Sakura, and Tsunade.
"Shikamaru you actually believe this crap!" yelled Kiba in disbelief. "Your suppose to be the smart one!"
"Shikamaru can you give us an explanation why you believe him, even I'm surprise to see you of all people believe this." said Shino. Shikamaru sighed.
"Look if I haven't seen it myself, I would be in disbelief myself." said Shikamaru. "That lady Asami, her techniques were different from any ninjutsu, I've ever seen. Naruto, Sakura you seen it too."
"He's right." nodded Sakura in agreement. "The way she summoned it was different. She used no hand signs, or even drew blood to summon. Naruto nodded in agreement.
"Not only that." said Naruto. "She did something that I'm not entirely explain right, but it looked like she absorb her summoning to gain new abilities."
"She does what?" question Ino by surprise.
"I've never heard of a technique not like that." said Hinata looking surprised.
"Not only that." continued Shikamaru. "Look at his clothing it's complete different from ours. "I haven't seen this type of clothing before, have you?"
"Well that's true... his clothing is different from ours." agreed Lee.
"All three of you made valid points." Everyone brought their attention to Tsunade. "And after hearing all this... even I believe him."
"Lady Tsunade even you?" said Ino in disbelief. Tsunade brought out a white cloth, and gave it to Yuri.
"Team 8, Team Gai as you may know we sent you on a mission to get rid of a group of mysterious individuals." said Tsunade. "I've sent a team to look through their items to see if we can learn anything about them. The team has brought a cloth with a symbol I've never seen before, but I get the feeling you, Yuri, may recognized it." Yuri looked at the cloth, and his eyes widen.
"I do recognized this symbol." said Yuri showing the cloth. The cloth had a figure with a buff armor on looking sideways to the left. Had a large horn coming out of it's head, and has a yellow eye. Out of the armor's back were large black wings. "This symbol belongs to the Sphinx Crusade."
"Sphinx Crusade?" repeated Hinata in confusion. Yuri nodded.
"Yes, it's lead by Xeno the man I told you about." said Yuri.
"Didn't that Asami lady said her master is Xeno." said Naruto recalling Asami's words.
"That's right she called him "Master Xeno"." said Sakura,
"She calls him that for good reason." said Yuri. "Herself, and 9 others were trained by Xeno himself."
"Sounds powerful." gulped TenTen.
"You have no idea." said a voice.
"And we Xeno returning we have to act now." said another voice. "Everybody turned to the window to see two people. Yuri smiled.
"Haven't seen you two in a long time." said Yuri. Tsunade rubbed her forehead in frustration.
"Jiraiya, Kakashi why can't you two ever use the door." sighed Tsunade.
"Pervy Sage, Kakashi-Sensei." Naruto called out happily.
"Wait... pervy sage? said Yuri in confusion before laughing. "I got to tell Ryo, and Arashi this!"
"Oh great, I fear this day would come." said the main with long white spiky hair going down to his waist. This is Jiraiya, one of the Sannin along with Tsunade. "It's bad enough Naruto calls me that, now I've got to deal with 3 more of you.
"Well maybe if you weren't such a super pervert, the nicknames would stop." said Yuri. Jiraiya let out a light chuckle.
"It seems you remember my rightful title as the super pervert!" exclaim Jiraiya with pride."
"Give me a break." said Naruto in disbelief tone with a sweatdrop. Yuri only sighed.
"Well at least your still the pervert we know and love... kinda." said Yuri with a small smile.
"It's good to see you as well Yuri." smiled the second person, who is Kakashi Hatake., leader of Team 7, and Naruto and Sakura's sensei.
"Scarecrow good to see you as well." said Yuri. "You haven't change at all in the past 12 years... maybe you've gotten a little bit taller."
"You've fully grown since the last time I saw you, and I can tell that's not the only thing you've gotten stronger." said Kakashi. Yuri smiled.
"I can tell you haven't been slouching either." respond Yuri.
Wait wait wait!" interrupted Naruto. "Pervy Sage, Kakashi-Sensei,you know Yuri?"
"Yes 12 years ago, along with Jiraiya, I was part of the alliance against Xeno. said Kakashi.
"WHAT!" shouted everybody except for Yuri, Kakashi, and Jiraiya.
"S-so you mean everything this guy said is true!" Kiba said in disbelief.
"Every word of it." said Jiraiya.
"Jiraiya, Kakashi if you two knew about all this, why haven't you told me?" question Tsunade giving the two a stern look. Jiraiya and Kakashi gave a nervous chuckle.
"Apologizes Lady Tsunade." Kakashi said with a bow. We were going to tell you but-
"At the time Xeno's forces weren't at large, and we didn't want you to worry about an enemy that wasn't a threat at the time." finished Jiraiya. Tsunade sighed.
"I'll take your word for it." said Tsunade. "But what do we do now?"
"Lady Hokage." Yuri started. "I have to ask you to make an alliance with us, the Hidden Leaf Village greatly helped us last time, and I know they will help us again. So I'm asking you to please allow the village to help us again." pleaded Yuri with a bow. Tsunade closed her eyes as she started to think things over. The Leaf Village is already involve with Xeno from 12 years ago. Even if she declined this alliance, Xeno will send forces towards here eventually. The village can possibly hold them off for while, but then again their dealing with enemies with abilities that don't involve ninjustu, taijustsu, or even genjustu. Not much of a choice. Tsunade opened her eyes, and looked directly at Yuri.
"Yuri as Hokage, I allow the Hidden Leaf Village to aid you in your battle against Xeno." declared Tsunade. Yuri raised his head, and smiled.
"Thank you Lady Tsunade!"
"Team 7, Team 8, Team 10, and Team Gai!" called out Tsunade. "This is will be a SS-rank mission. I want you to go with Yuri, and assist him, and his allies against Xeno. This is a long term mission, and failure is not an option!'
"You got it Grandma Tsunade we're going to take down this Xeno guy, and show him not to miss with us!" declared Naruto with a smirk.
"That's the spirit kid, your going to need all that energy." said Jiraiya.
"What's our next objective?" asked Shikamaru.
"Next objective is to take you guys back to my place." said Yuri "Lady Hokage I also need you to come as well."
"Me?" question Lady Tsunade in confusion.
"There's someone you have to meet." answer Yuri.
"Alright, Shizune I want you to look over things for awhile." said Tsunade.
"Yes Lady Hokage." said Shizune.
"Aright then let's go guys, no time to waste!" Yuri exclaimed.

Somewhere far away from the Leaf Village, in a underground hideaway. In a room was a large white snake with black hair with blood beneath it. A young man wearing glasses, and has ash-grey was looking at the white snake in shock.
"Lord Orochimaru." said the man. This is man is Kabuto Yakushi, Orochimaru's right hand man.
"Wow so the old snake died huh?" said a voice surprising Kabuto.
"Who's there!" shouted Kabuto. A purple portal appeared on the wall, and a man walked right out of it. This man was no other than Shiro. "Who... are you?"
"Relax I'm no enemy."said Shiro. Shiro looked over to Orochimaru. "Can't believe the old snake died, but unfortunately for him, we can't let him die so soon."
"What do you mean?" question Kabuto.
"Just come with me, and I'll able to save Orochimaru." said Shiro.
"And how can I trust you?" question Kabuto.
"Trust me, I wouldn't lie about something like this." chuckled Shiro. "And plus it doesn't matter you trust me or no, I need this old snake. So his coming with me no matter what." Kabuto looked down at Orochimaru, and then back at Shiro.
"Alright... I'll come with you." said Kabuto. Shiro smirked.
"Good answered."

A/N: And it's finally done! I'm sorry this took so long. What happen was is my laptop cooling fan died on me, and so my laptop doesn't work anymore. Right now I'm using my relative's laptop, which I was lucky to use today, so I decided to get this done. I am able to go on Fanfiction on my phone, but I don't think you can upload on the mobile version, and even if I could still wouldn't type this much on my phone. Anyway, I'm hoping to get a new laptop during the summer, so we'll see how that goes, but while I can't upload any new chapters for awhile, I am writing them on paper, and I'm already done with the One Piece chapter, and I'm now doing the conclusion of this introduction arc. So by the time I get my new laptop hopefully on paper I'll be like 2-5 chapters ahead or even more. So until then, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter, and I'll see you guys later!
