Sorry if I seem defensive at points, it's just human nature… but thanks for the comments, they really do help :) I also realize that I'm going to need to put a heck of a lot of flashbacks in at points from now on, so we'll get there, I think… Also sorry about not adding more flashbacks into this one, kinda left it too late...

Naruto does disappear too… well dies…

So we're going to continue now. And this starts at a time jump, okay?

Speech thingys.

Thought to add the time brackets thing in here to -
{Flashback or Time Jump / Different Places / Different People.}

{Three Years Later. With Satoru.}

Satoru sat waiting behind the academy desk, waiting to have his name called for the genin test. He knew he was young and that his Tou-san and Kaa-san were against this from the beginning, but he knew he was ready. And once he became a ninja, he would be able to leave the village to go look for his nii-san.

"Satoru Uzumaki-Namikaze."

Satoru slowly walked towards the door and followed his sensei into another room.

"Are you sure that you want to do this?" His sensei asked once again, making sure that the boy hadn't changed his mind, all the while hoping that he would.

"No, I am still going to become a ninja today." Satoru calmly stated, holding his head high.

"You shall perform Kawarimi no Jutsu, Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, and Henge no Jutsu."

Satoru had already made three Kage Bunshin, one had used Henge and the other original Satoru had thrown kunai at to show that it had used Kawarimi. "Is that all sensei?"

His sensei nodded, handing over Satoru's headband. It had been attached to a long piece of fabric, and Satoru smiled, tying it around his waist. Only when he found Naruto was he going to wear it on his head.

After having passed the test, Satoru decided to go to the home that Naruto had lived in for five years. Having believed that his brother was still alive and with Kurama's urging, Satoru hadn't told his family where Naruto had lived, and didn't think that he would want them to know now that he wasn't here. So it had become his private training spot.

Hey Kit, you'll be able to find him soon. Kurama stated, knowing that his third container was still alive. I don't know what the Kid was doing while he gave me control of his body, but it had something to do with the jutsu.

"Kurama, why have you never let me use that jutsu?" Satoru finally asked. It had been weighing on his mind for a long time now.

You saw what happened to Kid's mind. I also have one last promise to keep.

{Three years ago. Naruto's Mindscape.}

Kurama was shocked as Naruto pushed Satoru out of his mind, and he was being pulled out to. Right before he was about to disappear, he saw Naruto's mouth moving. He couldn't hear by that point, but the words seemed to etch themselves into his mind.

"Take care of him."

{Current Time.}

He had a stupid smile on his face as he had said that. It was important to him that you be kept safe. That is what I intend to do Kit.

"I still can't believe that he was able to seal you inside of me." Satoru murmured as he started making his way home.

It wasn't a permanent seal. It seems he found another way to seal me into someone for a short amount of time without me being able to escape, or without killing the temporary holder if extracted.

"So you think that he had this planned the whole time?"

Probably. Sometimes he would watch you be a happy family before he met you. Most of the time I thought it was stupid, hurting himself more. Kurama had told Satoru about some of the things that his brother had gotten up too, as a promise that he wouldn't reveal everything the boy had done. But this was one time that Kurama couldn't keep that promise while pondering the thought of what Naruto had been planning. Now if all that time, he was looking at which of his siblings to place me in for an amount of time, it must mean he figured something else out.

When Satoru walked into the Uzumaki-Namikaze household, he hadn't taken notice of the strange stares that he was getting from his family. He knew his father knew about Kurama when Inoichi had to see if his mental state was alright just after Naruto had disappeared. He'd had to tell Minato about his conversations with Kurama, and how he knew that Kurama wasn't going to try anything. After having accepted this, Kushina and Minato had allowed Satoru to train with his older siblings. On the days that Satoru wanted to be alone, he would tell them that he was going his and Naruto's special place and asked not to be followed. They had tried to follow, but with Kurama helping it was nearly impossible for that to happen.

Satoru sat atop the waterfall again listening to Kurama talking about jutsus that had had worked on with Naruto. He smiled, happily continuing his brother's legacy.

"Kurama, when will we got and find Aniki?"

Soon Kit, very soon.

"And if we can't find him?"

We wait for him to find us. And he will, so you don't need to worry about that.

Satoru looked at the sky, watching it grow darker.

Head home now Kit. They're going to start worrying soon.

Satoru stood on the water before running down the waterfall, and heading on his way back home.

{Uzumaki-Namikaze Household.}

Satoru sat silently at the dinner table. Usually he would join in the conversation. It worried Kushina and Minato that Satoru might be following in Naruto's foot steps.

Aiko thought it might be happening as well, not wanting a repeat of what had happened with her elder brother, she tried to pull him into the conversation, even though he was reluctant.

"Tou-san, can I go on a mission?" Satoru asked out of the blue. He turned to stare at his father, who just ever so slightly nodded his head. Kushina went into an overprotective motherly mode, telling Minato that he was too young to start going on missions just yet.

"We'll talk more about this tomorrow in my office." Minato sighed as he took in his wife's angry look. "It will be alright Kushina-chan."

"It had better be." Kushina mumbled with her eyebrow twitching.

{Next Day. Hokage Office.}

Minato sat facing his son wife and team seven. "This is a simple c-rank mission to the wave. You will be escorting a builder back to his village. Kakashi, Team Seven, you will also be watching over Satoru-san here. I expect that you are going to be especially careful as well, Aiko-chan?"

"Hai Hokage-sama." They all replied with varying degrees of interest.

"Be careful when you're out there. You have an hour to gather all the necessary items before your departure." Minato sighed once they had left the room. Kushina stood over her husband though, and he could see the fire burning in her eyes.

"I can't believe you're sending two of our children out!" Kushina yelled, her facing going slightly red.

"But Kushina-chan, Kakashi-san is one of my trusted students, and with both him and Aiko-chan, Satoru-san is as safe as he can be. Aiko-chan doesn't want to go through losing another brother. Believe in her to take care of him." Minato begged, holding Kushina's hand between both of his.

Finally she let out a sigh, "I understand."

{One Hour Later. Konoha Gates.}

Satoru set off just behind the others. It was going to be easier to talk to Kurama that way. He heard a commotion up the front a while later, where Tazuna stood. In front of them Satoru saw a puddle that shouldn't have been there. He knew Kakashi knew, as well as Kurama, who was trying to get him ready for whatever was about to come next.

They all saw Kakashi get chopped by the chains. Satoru only smirked, as Kurama had told him that Kakashi was hiding only a few feet away in the bushes. Satoru laughed, gathering the attention of everyone present. The two ninja only laughed it off, that is until they all heard Satoru speak. "Hyoton: Tsubame Fubuki."

They saw swallows appear mid-air above the boy and watched as the ice birds were aimed at the two enemy ninja. While they were fighting off the ice-birds, only those close to Satoru could hear what he said next.

"Hyoro no Jutsu." They all watched stunned as the two enemy ninja were caught in an ice prison. "Alright Kakashi-sensei, you can come out now."

Satoru watched all of the team members carefully. He had noticed that everyone had gone pale at seeing what he could do.

"I thought that jutsu needed pre-existing ice to work." Kakashi stated as he walked out from his hiding place.

"I had help so that I would be able to use it when I needed." Satoru replied with a shy smile. "But aren't you going to talk to Tazuna-san, Kakashi-sensei?"

Kakashi nodded before turning to the man. "Do you mind explaining why you have chunin class ninja after you? We should be turning around now, thanks to mission becoming at least b-rank."

"No! We have to continue." Satoru stated with determination burning in his eyes, he then turned to Tazuna. "So why were you paying for a c-rank mission? When this is mission was clearly above that level?"

"My village isn't a rich village. In fact it's been getting worse since Gato and his thugs got to the village." Once Tazuna had finished explaining about his village and Gato, Kakashi asked if they would be fine with going back.

"No. We have to continue." Satoru told him again.

"Why do you feel so strongly about this Satoru-san?" Kakashi stared at the boy with his one eye. He stayed silent but seemed to be reading his soul. Aiko had seemed to have picked up on something that they missed in his silence.

"No! He's dead, Otouto! You have to let him go!" Aiko pleaded, holding onto Satoru's hand.

"He's not dead!" Satoru pulled roughly away from his sister before dragging Tazuna along with him.

Aiko looked at her team, before racing after her brother.

{Sometime Later.}

Satoru had finally calmed down. Slowing down from his run, he saw that Team Seven was closing in, and that they had relieved looks on their faces. Aiko started fussing about her younger brother, making sure that he was alright. She didn't take note of the mist that was slowly gathering around them until she couldn't really afford not to notice. Her and Satoru jumped back by the others.

Stay back Kit, there is another ninja nearby.

Satoru stayed by Sakura and Tazuna, while Aiko and Sasuke stood in front of them and Kakashi at the head.

"Everybody get down!" Kakashi yelled as they all dropped to the ground. A blade swung through the air landing in a tree. Moments later, a man appeared atop the handle. "Well if it isn't Zabuza Momochi."

The man looked over his shoulder at them, noticing that the youngest kid had already stood up and was wonder away from them all. He focused his attention back on Kakashi, seemingly forgetting the boy that was looking for his partner.

Satoru listened to the sounds of the battle that were raging behind him, intent on finding the man's partner. He smiled when he saw the outline of the ninja and proceeded to take a seat next to the enemy.

"Shouldn't you be down there?" The ninja tilted their head in the direction of the rest of his team.

"They got it covered. Just watch." Satoru muttered, watching how far their teamwork was coming along. At least for the moment.

Kakashi had become trapped in a prison of water.

Kid use to like that jutsu. Suiro no Jutsu.

Satoru smiled as Kurama was taking a trip down memory lane. He watch Aiko get pushed back along with her clones, making sure to transform into shuriken before having one of her clones toss her to Sasuke.

Both the ninja and Satoru watched the battle intensely. They watched as Aiko had forced Zabuza to release Kakashi, before Kakashi and Zabuza started an all out battle. Satoru could momentarily hear Kurama laugh, but decided to ignore it as he saw the ninja throw senbon needles at Zabuza neck and proceed to take him away. Satoru watched the others before slowly coming out from the trees. He knew that Aiko would be happy, but the others weren't, seeing as how his kekkei genkei could have been useful to them. But he brushed them off when he said that he was with the other ninja, and that he gathered a bit of information just from sitting next to them.

They seemed shocked at what the young boy had said and were gaping like fish. "Sadly I didn't get to ask him what I wanted though."

After that they had continued onto Tazuna's house and let Kakashi rest.

There are a few things in here that need to be explained, but at the moment, I can't remember. So they'll probably be explained at the starting of the next chapter.

And ncpfan if you have any ideas on how to make it seem more realistic, feel free to pm me or such.

P.s. with the flashbacks, just let me know what you guys want to know and I'll try to put them in.
