His notes…

It was about 10 in the night, Naruto was standing on the training field where Gaara usually was. Sunagakure's training fields where very different from the ones back in Konoha, there was no grass on the land, just sand, sand and sand again, as much as the eye can see, there where no trees and there where no ponds also, it looked a little dull in Naruto's opinion. The only thing that made the training field a bit interesting was the fact that there where weapon racks, usually from what he had seen between the numbers of three and four for each field. These racks had all sort of weapons, starting from the basic kunai up to the huge hammers, maces and so on. Also there where several rocks from here and there and some training dummies.

Now, Gaara's personal training field looked very interesting, unlike the other here Naruto saw that most of the rocks where transformed, it seemed like the red haired Jinchuuriki had been trying to shape the rocks by his desire, the dummies where completely covered in sand and what seemed some kind of spikes made out of sand. The only thing that wasn't touched where the weapon racks, every weapon was there, it seemed like Gaara wasn't quite the weapon user.

A few minutes later Gaara appeared in a whirlwind of sand in front of Naruto. The blonde boy screamed and jumped back.

"Damn it! Did you really have to do that?" he asked sweating

Gaara just looked at him and motioned to Naruto to go in the middle of the field, the blonde boy complied. He moved where the future Kazekage told him and upon reaching he looked back at Gaara that was just standing in the same spot emotionless. Naruto looked around, he looked up and he looked down then he looked back at Gaara.

"Umm…what am I suppose to do?"

"Channel chakra…" came a calm reply.

"Channel chakra?" asked Naruto not understanding "what for?"

Gaara looked in Naruto's eyes, not saying anything. He started at him for about two minutes when Naruto started feeling uncomfortable and decided to do what he was told. He closed his eyes and started to channel his chakra. The normal blue chakra appeared swirling around the blonde boy, at this time Gaara was looking at him carefully.

"More." said the red haired Jinchuuriki and Naruto complied channeling more. The sand around him started to slowly raise and move without any direction what so ever. "More" said Gaara and Naruto tried to bring out more chakra but the amount remained the same. "More I said."

"But I can't more than this." said Naruto trying to bring out more chakra

"Red" was the only thing that Gaara said thinking Naruto would understand.

The blonde boy started thinking, what did he mean by 'red'? He lost himself to his mind and lost concentration, he stopped channeling his chakra and was standing in the middle of the field eyes shut thinking. Gaara looked at him and waited, he was thinking that Naruto understood what he wanted. He waited, and waited and waited till he lost his patience.

"What are you doing?" asked the red haired boy

"Umm…I don't understand what you mean by red." said Naruto scratching the back of his head

Gaara shook his head. "I want you to channel Kyuubi's chakra Naruto."

"Oh…" responded Naruto laughing nervously. He started channeling his chakra again and then when he reached the limit he started asking for the fox's chakra but it didn't come, he tried again, nothing happened.

"Hey fox, a little chakra would be nice you know."

"And why would I do that? Go back to your training or whatever you where doing and let me sleep." came a tired answer

"Hey! Don't you dare sleep when I need your chakra!"

"What the hell am I? Chakra shop? Do I have a sign that says 'Come and take all the chakra you want whenever you want?" yelled Kyuubi

Naruto sweat dropped. "Just give me chakra alright?"

"No"

"Naruto what are you doing?" asked Gaara that was looking impatient.

"Umm…well you see…" started Naruto laughing nervously and scratching the back of his head. Gaara started taping his foot. "Umm, Kyuubi doesn't want to give me chakra."

"I don't care, you do what I told you or else I will beat you so hard that you won't even be able to go to the toilet for the next week." said Gaara coldly.

Naruto shivered at the tough. "Ok Kyuubi give me your chakra!"

"Give me one good reason why I should?"

"Well I hope you enjoy the smells if I won't be able to go to the bath for the next week."

"What the hell? Oh hell no! Here you go kit, but just don't pollute my mind with things like that." said Kyuubi and his chakra started pouring out of the blond boy. Naruto was channeling the demons chakra until Gaara told him to stop. Naruto did as he was told and waited for Gaara to give him the next instructions on his training.

"Good, do the following hand sings and channel chakra in the sand around you." said Gaara and Naruto nodded. "Dog, Horse, Monkey, Rat!" Naruto complied and did the signs he was instructed and focused on the sand around him. When he finished the last hand sign he looked around him, nothing had happened. Gaara that was watching the entire time didn't see the sand even move.

"Nothing happened Gaara…what should have happened?" asked Naruto

"Since you do not have a sand demon inside of you I had to find a way for you to call the sand, to make it respond."

Naruto understood, he did the hand sings again but still nothing happened. He did it again and again but the result was the same every time. It started to piss him off.

"Try channeling chakra in the sand around you." suggested Gaara after some thought.

Naruto nodded and did the hand signs and started channeling chakra around his feet, he made the chakra enter the sand around him and Gaara saw the sand starting to slowly rise. "Think of the sand moving around you, from your feet to your head." said Gaara. Naruto started thinking about the sand to move around him, he opened his eyes and looked around still thinking at the sand. Gaara nodded in achievement, there wasn't very much sand circling Naruto but there was a little and that in Gaara's opinion was a good thing.

"Hey Gaara, I did it!" yelled Naruto and Gaara only nodded.

"You did, but its not perfect, you need to be able to control more than that."

"Yeah I know, but still…I did it!" Naruto started jumping up and down, he stopped thinking about the sand and it dropped back on the ground. Gaara shrugged and started walking away.

"Meet me tomorrow here at noon." he said before disappearing.

Naruto smiled and he also started heading back to his new house to get some rest, even tough he doubted that he would be able to get some rest, he was too happy.

"Just a lucky shot brat, it was weak." said Kyuubi sleeply

"And what do you care?"

"Hmph…"

----- Konoha, Nara estate -----

Nara Shikamaru was lying on the ground in front of his house gazing at the sky. The recent events in Konoha had made him ponder even more about Naruto. He didn't know the boy very much, been with him on just a couple of missions but he wasn't bad in any way. He always tried to help everyone and always seemed happy. But there had to be something else behind all that happiness, there must have been something else to why he always worked hard, why he pulled pranks, but most importantly there must have been something as to why the villagers hated him.

Numerous questions bothered Shikamaru, there where too many and it seemed like he couldn't get an answer for any of them. But even though all that Naruto was a good person, a fellow ninja, a friend, he didn't deserve to be treated like that. He was a valuable asset to Konoha, he was more important than Sasuke, his strength, stamina and determination made him unique and interesting in all ways.

Shikamaru's thoughts were broken by a light behind him. He looked and saw his father Shikaku standing behind him.

"You know, the council had a meeting today." said Shikaku taking a seat on the ground near his son.

"And what did you guys discuss about?" asked Shikamaru

"About Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuuga, if they should be marked missing-nin's or not."

Shikamaru pondered for a second. He then raised his head and looked in his fathers eyes. "And you guys had to put it to vote…" Shikaku nodded. "Which means that Naruto and Hinata are missing-nin's…" once again Shikaku nodded "but tell me, when did Hinata leave? Wait a second…" Shikamaru started thinking, he didn't see Hinata ever since they left on the mission to rescue Sasuke. She didn't even visit Neji, he knows that she loves Naruto but still she would have visited her cousin. If she didn't it means that she left right after Naruto did.

"Well anyway, right now I have come with an idea but I want to know what you think of it" said Shikaku breaking his son's thoughts once again

"And that is?"

"This village is full of idiots, the elders are a bunch of idiots except for two, the Hyuuga's think they rule everyone around here and are a bunch of stuck up snobs…" he paused "…and well I was thinking about leaving this place."

Shikamaru's eyes widened. "You mean leave Konoha?" his father nodded. "And where would you plan on taking the clan?"

"We could find Naruto and help him."

Shikamaru gave a thought to that, he made a list of good things to leave and bad things but in the end the result was the same. "You know, I don't agree with leaving, sure this place is starting to fall apart but we can't just leave, we would just be an easy target for enemy ninja's not to mention Orochimaru and the Sound."

Shikaku nodded at his sons words. "I was thinking the same thing but I wanted to know if you where too, but tell me…would you leave Konoha?"

Shikamaru thought about it, there would have been a possibility but still… "No." he said "Only if it was really necessary." he added.

His father smiled and went back in the house. "Hokage-sama wants to see your team tomorrow at 10." Shikamaru nodded and lay on his back looking at the sky again and thinking.

----- Konoha, Yamanaka house -----

Ino Yamanaka was preparing to go to sleep, it had been a long day for her, she had training with her family members on her clans' jutsu's and then she had worked all afternoon in the shop and finally went and visited Sakura to see how she was holding. Her mother had not returned from the council meeting yet. She sighed, another long day was awaiting her tomorrow, she needed to get rest to be able for a new days challenge. She tucked herself into bed and was about to fall asleep when there was a knock at the door.

"Enter." she said and her mother Ikana Yamanaka entered the room (A/N: her fathers name is Inoichi)

"Am I disturbing?" her mother asked. Ino shook her head 'no'

"How was the meeting?"

"It didn't go too well." she said with a grim voice.

"What happened? What did you discuss about?"

"We talked about Uzumaki Naruto…" Ino perked her ears "…and Hyuuga Hinata."

"Hinata? What did she do?" asked Ino

"She left Konoha to follow Naruto." said Ikana and Ino raised an eyebrow

"You mean that Hinata is not in Konoha?"

"No…didn't you see?" asked Ikana. Ino realized she didn't quite pay attention to everything around her and didn't notice that indeed Hinata was absent all the time. "Well the Hyuuga's brought the matter of marking them both as missing-nin's." Ino's mother continued

Ino gasped at the news. "And what happened?"

"The Yamanaka clan with the Nara, Akimichi and Aburame supported Naruto and Hinata to make sure they won't be marked, even the Hokage did…" she trailed off and Ino realized what the outcome was in the end. She still hoped it wasn't like that. "…but in the end we lost and they are now S-class missing-nin's." she finished

Ino lowered her head and without knowing tears started forming in her eyes. She knew Naruto a little, and was his friend and he wasn't a bad kid, he was annoying sometimes but he was a kind person.

"But why?" asked Ino "Why did they mark him? Why did the villagers throw him out of the village?" she raised her head and looked at her mother

"I'm afraid I cannot say, that is for the Hokage or Naruto to say. You will have to meet the Hokage tomorrow at 10. I suggest you sleep." and Ikana left the room

Ino was confounded in the darkness of her room, it was strange. Why would someone be so mean to Naruto, why would they also mark Hinata as a missing-nin? She laid her head on the pillow and tried to sleep but questions continued to bombard her mind and she couldn't sleep. Tears dropped on her pillow, she didn't know why but she was very sad about this event, they where her friends, it doesn't make sense why all this happened.

----- Konoha, Inuzuka estate -----

Inuzuka Kiba had just walked into the house when he heard the front door close. He went to check it out and saw his mother Tsume (A/N: thank you vnvanman for clarifying) taking her shoes off, she was quite happy which Kiba found unusual because normally she would return angry from the council meetings.

"Hey mom." he said

"Oh hello there Kiba, how are you?"

"I'm fine, I just finished my training with Akamaru…" responded Kiba proudly

"And where is Akamaru?" she asked looking around, usually the dog was always around Kiba

"Oh, he went to look for something to eat." responded Kiba "Um…why are you so…happy?" he asked

"What do you mean?"

"Well usually when you return from the council meetings you are angry…and well now…"

"Oh I understand." she said and walked over to Kiba and put her hand on his shoulder. "We where discussing about the Uzumaki boy today."

Kiba seemed to brighten up, he had known Naruto for some time now and ever since they're fight in the chunnin preliminaries they started to become friends, sure they teased each other and called names but it wasn't something serious. "So what did you discuss about him?"

"We discussed about marking him missing-nin…" Kiba's eyes widened "…and I sustained the opposition, or favor for marking him and we won, he and Hyuuga Hinata are missing-nin's now and are to be killed on sight."

"W-what? H-hinata too?" he asked stuttering

"Well at first we thought he took her captive but it seems she sided to him and since that Uzumaki boy is dangerous we marked him…" she said smiling

Kiba started growling. "What the hell? Why did you do that?" he yelled

Tsume was taken back at his words. "He hurt you in the chunnin exams."

"Just for that? I think you even exaggerated in front of the council about our fight!" he yelled

"Don't you dare raise your voice at me! We did a good thing getting rid of that demon spawn!"

"Demon spawn? What the hell is wrong with you and all those villagers calling him that? He is not a demon! Did he ever try to hurt you in any way? I don't even know why you're calling him that!" he yelled and went to the door

"Where do you think your going?"

"To think and to be away from you!" he left the house slamming the door behind him leaving his mother stunned.

------ Konoha, morning (next day) ------

Tsunade, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Sasuke and Neji where standing in front of Naruto's apartment. Tsunade wanted to take the blonde boys things before the apartment was sold. They entered the house and started clearing it of all things, from what it seemed Naruto didn't have many things, only some photos of his close friends, ramen and his usual orange jumpsuit.

Sasuke agreed to help with this, he was on probation, he had been given a second chance to prove himself loyal to Konoha once more. The two sannin and his sensei would look after him so that he won't do anything stupid, and Neji, he was there because he thought he owed it to Naruto to take his things. Tsunade's plan was to visit Naruto once they found out where he is and take his stuff to him. She would go accompanied by the rookie 9 and team Gai.

They where about to leave when Tsunade felt something by passing near the wall, she looked at the wall carefully, studying it.

"What are you doing Tsunade?" asked Jiraiya

"This wall…" she said. She then made a couple of hand sings and dispelled what seemed to be a genjutsu that hid a door to another room. Tsunade looked at the group who where also shocked, clearly they didn't know of that door. The Hokage turned the knob and entered the room, it seemed to be a training room. There where three dummies in the back of the room that had the faces of Orochimaru, Itachi and Kisame, The dummies had kunai and shuriken stuck in them and there seemed to be notes on them. Tsunade took a note that was on the dummy resembling Orochimaru and read. "Should try a kunai-shuriken combo when aiming for his throat." She put the note back and looked around again. There where scrolls and notes everywhere.

There was a table in the room and on the table what seemed to be three files and several papers near those files. Tsunade carefully examined the files and her eyes grew wide.

"Where did he? How could he?" she asked

"What happened Hokage-sama?" asked Kakashi

"These files are the same ones from my office; they have the backgrounds on Orochimaru, Itachi. And there is a file here about Kisame which I don't recall ever seeing it."

Jiraiya took the file of Orochimaru in his hand. "Seems like everything about him is here, what jutsu's he uses, what taijutsu, his skills and attributes. And it seems like there are some notes here and some jutsu's are circled."

Kakashi took a piece of paper. The title read "Orochimaru, techniques" he started reading and was impressed with what was written there. "Listen to this." he said

"Orochimaru, S-class missing-nin, the snake sannin.

From what I read from the files I managed to copy from old man's office this bastard was caught experimenting on people seeking immortality. Like the file says it seems that he needs new bodies from what I believe three to three years. Maybe this is why he said he had come for Sasuke. And if what is written in the file is true that means that once he takes over his body he will also have the Sharingan.

What amazes me about this guy is the strange jutsu's he's using, he is trying pretty much to resemble a snake, hence the fact that he is the snake sannin. The most important jutsu's or at least the ones I saw them are eighter freaky or grouse. The neck extending thing that he does when he bites his target infusing it with the curse seal is maybe the only way he can give someone a curse seal but at the same time it's a very disgusting technique…" everyone sweat dropped "…another thing that I find disturbing is the tongue and how he can use it as a weapon. Even though it seems like a good offensive and defensive weapon it's not that good. I mean if I would stick a kunai in his tongues when he does that technique and implant it in the ground I would like to see how he would react…"

Jiraiya chuckled. "He has a good idea you know."

"…The summoning technique is the most dangerous, he can summon a gigantic snake called Manda, but it seems that not even the snake likes him so I really doubt the fact that if he would bring it in combat another time it would be useless. Now what is strange and needs to be noted as to be careful around is that sword 'Grass Cutter'. I don't know how he has it in his throat or anything like that but the poison on it is very dangerous, I wonder if there is anyone that could heal such a poison. But the important thing is that if he brings the sword out and you don't know how to defend against it, it would be based to go on long ranged attacks so to avoid the blade. Note: Study this guy further."

Kakashi put the paper away and took another in his hands. "This one is on Kisame." he stated

"His personal notes?" asked Sasuke

"Seems so, should I read it Hokage-sama?"

"Go ahead Kakashi." responded Tsunade

"Kisame, one of the legendary swordsmen, S-class missing-nin, member of the group called Akatsuki.

In the file that I found one day on a mission there wasn't pretty much information on him, everything was torn out, the important think that was there was that he was assigned a A-ranked mission before he disappeared which I find it quite strange, eighter he abandoned the mission or something had happened on it.

This guy is a water based user, I haven't seen him use any jutsu so I don't know what he is capable of. But…from what I have read from Ero-sennins note book…"

"That gaki was looking in my book?" yelled Jiraiya

Tsunade hit the back of his head. "Shut up and let Kakashi talk."

"…and even thought that sounds strange I found information on him there. Actually that note book is all but a masquerade, he hides information through the words he rights in that book, really impressive…" Jiraiya felt proud "…but still stupid for hiding them in porn writing…"

"I'm going to kill him!" yelled Jiraiya only to receive another hit from the Hokage.

"…the guy has a sword on his back called Sasemeda (spl?) and it absorbs chakra and apparently its connected to the user. It responds only to Kisame. This guy can be always found around Uchiha Itachi. Note: watch out for him, research more."

Kakashi put the paper away and took the one of Itachi. Sasuke jumped and grabbed the paper and started to read, but he didn't get to read much as Jiraiya took it from him.

"We all need to know what gaki observed, not only you." he said and Sasuke just turned his head.

"So that is about Itachi?" asked Tsunade

"Yes…" said Jiraiya looking over the paper. "What the hell?" he yelled

"What?" asked Neji

"He looked through my notes to find info on him!"

"Jiraiya hand me the paper and shut up about the note book or I will ripe it to shreds." said Tsunade. Jiraiya shivered and handed her the paper.

Tsunade started reading. "Uchiha Itachi, S-class missing-nin.

Itachi is a master in fire techniques and a master in genjutsu due to that Sharingan. It reached a high level called Mangekyo but I do not understand fully what it does, I think that it sends you to a world where hours there are measured in seconds here and the damage inflicted on you there has repercussions in our time but I need to research this further. What is strange about this guy is that he was assigned a S-ranked mission just a few hours before he became a missing-nin. Also what else is strange is when I had my first encounter and Sasuke came. Even though Itachi beat the crap out of Sasuke when he saw that he did Chidori not only that I saw he was impressed but it seemed like he was smiling? And it wasn't a psychotic smile, it was a warm loving smile? This rose tone of questions in my head, I really need to research this…there is something fishy going on here."

Sasuke raised an eyebrow, his brother smiling warmly that he did Chidori? It didn't quite fit in the puzzle, Itachi was a murderer. He looked around impassive and found a scroll, he read out loud without realizing. "' Hiraishin' …strange name, wonder what it is…" he started to open the scroll when Kakashi took it out of his hands.

"Now, now Sasuke this is not for your or any persons eyes, I don't know where Naruto got it but know that this jutsu must remain a secret."

Sasuke humped and turned around like he didn't care but his mind was now trying to figure out what that jutsu was that Kakashi said it had to remain a secret.

While all that was happening Neji was also looking around, ninja gear was everywhere, a lot of kunai and shuriken where rusty already and would have been a stupid idea to use them because they would be useless. He found a lot of scrolls on fire, air and water techniques. He took them deciding that maybe Tsunade would want to give these to Naruto as well. A few more minutes later after clearing the training room the group left with they're hands and bags full of scrolls and belongings of Naruto.
