In The Great Hotel

Konan sat up in his king sized bed. Looking to his left, he saw Naruto and Mona already awake. Naruto had his head lazily hanging. Konan didn't notice this just yet though. He slid off his bed and walked toward the front of Naruto. Mona just stared at Konan, knowing full well what he was planning. He was planning what Mona assumed, but realized what was going on.

"Naruto-sensei, didn't you get any sleep?" He didn't wait for an answer. "You usually have something hard to decide on your mind when you don't sleep. What was it, sensei?" He usually didn't use "sensei" when calling to Naruto much, but this seemed like the time to show his respect.

"I was thinking…. Thinking about my decisions, and I still have not made up my mind." He looked into Konan's eyes with his blue ones. "Konan, would you help guide me on this? I feel lost, Konan." Konan was too shocked to answer for awhile. His sensei was asking him for help. Of all the people in the world, why him? Why him?

"Sure, Naruto, I will advise you if you would like me to." He put up a nervous smile, hoping his advice don't do wrong and have no regret.

"Do you think I should train these two leaf academy students?" He asked without taking his eyes off Konan's. Mona stared in shock, she never seen such loss in Naruto.

"Sensei, if they would serve you with the utmost respect and loyalty, then you should train them." He still had his nervous smile on his face, which didn't seem like him.

"Do you think I should come to live back in this village? My father lived here, and protected it with his life. Wouldn't it be disrespectful and not honorable to show my loyalty to the very village he fought against?" He paused for a moment. "The burden of decisions that can change many things, it's hard to decide by one's self. I'm a kid, Konan. I might try to act responsible, but I will be a kid until I know I'm a man. I feel like a rebel leader fighting his own dad, if I was to be loyal to Iwa. A child of my age shouldn't have to make these decisions, but yet we are forced to do so." He had tears in his eyes now. They never saw Naruto like this. He always tried to show happiness and glory, indeed he did hide it good enough.

"Sensei, that's a decision I cannot help you with, since my dad died when I was five. I was adopted by a man named Nero, but he was killed when I was seven. Naruto, I want to help you, but I don't even know how it is to be a son. You don't either." He tried to keep his face emotionless, since his stepfather told him it was a weakness. Mona looked at them, with tears in her eyes. Though they were strong, they still couldn't effectively kill their emotions. "Naruto, indeed that burden is too strong for a kid. You will definitely know the answer before your twelve. I know you will." Mona wanted to help him, but she had not even close to the feelings of parents in the long run. They all got dressed quietly. Once they walked out, they smelled the fresh air. Naruto didn't need to look at his map to find the place. Once they got there, it was six in the morning.

"Naruto-kun, I don't think you told them the time to meet you, nor the place." Mona just stood there as Konan looked annoyed.

"I did, you just trying to get me to bail out, aren't you?" Naruto watched as she shook her head violently.

"Do you think their bodies will be able to work at its best condition this early?" Konan asked, he didn't see them, so was completely lost on it.

What ninja don't train at this time?" Naruto was a kid who lived off training, so he thought other ninjas did also. They waited for the assumed trainees. Konan was going to start complaining, but he seen two kids, about his age coming. Naruto walked to them with a smile on his face. Sasuke wore a blue Uchiha t-shirt with back shorts. Hinata wore blue ninja sweats with a light blue, long sleeve shirt. Their sandals were blue as well. Sasuke looked at his new sensei, with desire for learning. Hinata wanted to train to become better. She lost the memory of the boy she admired. No one in the village besides Kakashi and the Third remembered Naruto's existence with full minds. The village seemed so happy he was gone; they never knew he was there. Hinata lost her memory due to her father figuring out about her secret. He found out because, he found some drawings. He restricted her from drawing any arts that had a person with blonde hair and blue eyes. The father didn't want her to be known to admire such a person. He hid it from the rest of the clan, and the whole village. Her memory of him became day dreams, then dreams themselves, then finally nothing. When they were close Naruto decided to speak. "I'm Amoco Neosho; you shall call me Amoco-sensei. That is not my real name, but you will figure it out in time. You shall not perform nor tell anyone of what we teach you. Do you understand these rules?"

"Yes!" they said. Sasuke decided to get Naruto to understand what he wants clear. "What I and Hinata are doing is risky, you know?" Naruto nodded. Sasuke smirked as he wanted to lead Naruto to where he was getting to. "I hope what you teach us will be worth our troubles. If not, then I will report you to the authorities. Another thing is you must not do anything to hinder the leaf village." The last sentence was clear to Naruto. To Naruto, he was threatening him. He needed not say this though.

"You have my word and my word is good, Sasuke and Hinata." He walked towards the three logs he has spotted. He turned around as he heard someone yell "Hey!" He saw a girl wearing a pink shirt and pink shorts. She had pink eyes and pink hair. 'Man, that girl definitely loves pink.' Naruto thought with a smile clear on his face. When she got close she reluctantly bowed to the one who bested her crush.

"I would like to train also!" She was breathing heavily. "I took some time because I forgot the time to come at, so I am sorry sensei." Naruto and the others had a weird look on their face when they heard her. Naruto walked up close to her.

"What makes you want to be trained by me?" He said with a grin on his face. "Should I even allow myself to train someone such as you?" He stopped talking to see her reaction. This was exactly what he wanted.

"You seem like a nice person, also you said anyone may come and train as long as they are really willing." She paused. "I also was thinking, you wouldn't compare nor judge without reason." She stood in her bowing position, but lifted her face to see her victory.

"Indeed!" He yelled. "But note that I am a kid and sometimes do wrong as well." He nervously chuckled when he remembered how many people he had to kill. Deciding she needed to know the rules as well, he spoke. "My name isn't Amoco Neosho, but that is the name I shall have until you figure out later. You shall call me Amoco-sensei and cannot tell, nor do what I teach you around anyone unless in danger. Mona shall teach you, I shall teach Sasuke and Konan shall teach Hinata." Sakura fumed when she heard a sad sigh behind her, right after Naruto said who her sensei was. Mona and Konan signaled for their students to follow. They split up. Naruto stood where they were, Konan went left and Mona went right. By instinct, the new students knew they had to follow. Naruto started some warm up, and suggested Sasuke to do the same thing. While they did jumping jacks, Sasuke decided to bring to news to "Amoco."

"I know your real name….I think." He stared at Amoco. Amoco didn't seem to respond at all to this. "Naruto, is your name isn't it?" He stopped doing exercise. Naruto looked at him, not stopping his warm ups.

"I had a hint you knew." He stopped his exercise. He glared at Sasuke, his bloodlust high. "You should have kept your mouth shut, Uchiha." He said silently. I told you to call me, Amoco." He grabbed a scroll and ran his hand over it. His Zampo appeared, apparently coming from the scroll. Sasuke's fear grew high as he remembered his last fight with Naruto. He cursed himself for even having the guts to say it. He realized how "nice" Naruto is, so thought of a plan.

"You wouldn't kill someone who is unarmed, would you!?" His panic, helping him create more excuses, helped him out in his favor. "I am already at a disadvantage, would you actually be so cruel!?" Mona, Sakura, Konan, and Hinata, seen and heard what was happening. Sakura ran while screaming to get to Sasuke, but was stopped by a quick chop to the neck. She then collapsed face down to the floor. Hinata had the thoughts of doing that first, but had second thoughts when she seen Sakura fall to the ground. She turned to Konan, in her jyuken stance. She wanted to know why first.

"Why would he attack him for!? I know it cant be training, Amoco's bloodlust is high." Konan looked at her now. "He didn't seem like the treacherous sort! Why!?" She was scared and clueless on what she should do.

"Trust me, if I had known that I would have told you before you got ready to fight me." He looked at the two now. "He never did anything like this before. I don't know what he's planning." He watched with shock in his eyes and excitement "let's just watch to see please?" She nodded, but didn't release from her stance. "Trust me Hinata, the least thing I want to do is hurt you." She slowly, but surely released her stance. She was now watching the two. Sakura woke up two seconds after she was knocked out.

"Get off of me!" she demanded. Bad enough for her, Mona was still stepping one foot on her back. Sakura started struggling with all her strength to get up. Yelling and attempting to bite her, but it was all futile. She was making herself seem like an animal that just been hunted, but still put up a fight. Mona was getting tired of this.

"You can shut up and stop moving or you can say goodnight." She looked at the squirming, girl. "You can choose which" Mona said as she got into position to chop her neck again. Sakura stopped moving and yelling just in time. The strike was only two centimeters away from her neck. "Thank you. Lets watch shall we?" Mona said with a smile on her face. They were just in time to see, Naruto giving Sasuke a katana.

"Your right, Uchiha. I should give you at least one percent, of a chance of you living." He said as he charged fast, with his Zampo in hand.

"Kit, what the hell are you doing!?" Kyuubi yelled with annoyance. He had been watching the whole time, but didn't think Naruto was serious. Naruto was definitely serious though. "Are you actually going to kill him?" Kyuubi didn't care if Naruto killed him without any witnesses alive to see. But he did in fact know about Hinata and Sakura, which were now watching with disgust. Naruto didn't answer Kyuubi, but attack Sasuke with no mercy. Sasuke had never held a katana in his hands before, so didn't parry as well as he should have. Some swings made it to his body. Each time a strike hit him, he felt his chakra go unstable. Sasuke was panicking in his head, but had a look of anger on his face. Whichever swing he was able to block, was an accident and lucky. Naruto didn't stop hammering him with blows. Finally one solid, harsh blow hit Sasuke in the stomach. Sending him towards Konan, but Konan dodged his body. He was stopped by a tree, his collision with it made a sickening crack noise. He had dropped the sword now. When his butt connected to the floor, he looked straight ahead to see a brown object heading towards his face. Dodging it by ducking and rolling to the side, he looked to see the tree falling down.

"What the!?" He looked at the blonde. Naruto was standing right behind the collapsed tree. Looking at Sasuke with bloodlust. "Nice dodge. If that strike hit you, you would be looking like a tree with no top." He looked at the tree he fell. "This stump is a perfect example of how you would have looked." Sasuke ran from Naruto on weakened legs. He was limping away for his life. Never had he feel so frightened, since Itachi's massacre of the clan.

"Please don't kill me!" He yelled as he ran for his dear life. "I don't want to die!" He remembered his nightmare as he ran. This wasn't too far away from what happened then. Naruto stood right in front of him readying a swing of his now sharp Zampo. He fell to the floor as the swing came. Having no energy to fight anymore, he laid on his stomach, waiting for Naruto to end it. Naruto turned his body around with his foot. Sakura was now crying, but couldn't take her eyes off. Hinata had tears going down her face. She wanted to run down there to help, but she wouldn't even stand a chance either. They were too frightened to do anything about it. Sasuke looked at the blue glowing sword, which would soon cause him his death. "Please don't kill me…..I just wanted you to realize that I knew who you were." His words were quiet, but Naruto still heard it. As he saw Naruto's weapon rise up with the point aimed down, he closed his eyes. His breathing quickened. He waited for the death blow, but only felt a water-like substance hit his face. He opened his eyes to see Naruto in the same position, but he was crying. His face was full with tears streaming down. Sasuke was shocked, that he didn't think of moving away from him. Konan and Mona looked at Naruto with regular faces. This was not the first time he had cried because he didn't want to kill someone. Sakura and Hinata had there mouths opened wide and shocked. Sakura's tear-stained face was now too shocked to even make another tear. Hinata was shocked, but she had tears threatening to come out also. Naruto looked down on Sasuke.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke" He said quietly as he brought the sword down on him. Everyone who had witnessed it closed their eyes. They heard a sharp, agonizing, and terrified scream. Blood was spilled and stained the grass. When they opened their eyes, which took them two minutes to do, they saw what the results were. Sasuke was laying there with the whole sword through him. When Sakura seen his body there limp, she held tight to her mouth and jumped up to run. Mona released her because she knew what Sakura needed to do. Sakura didn't go far because of the urge puke. She puked twice and fell to the side of it crying her heart out and holding her stomach. Hinata was crying her heart out also.

"I'm a fool!" She yelled as she ran towards Naruto with a powerful strike ready. "You liar! She yelled, but she wasn't close to him yet. Konan didn't try to stop her. He was shocked. He didn't even think Naruto would kill a person that young.

"Kit, why would you do that?" Kyuubi asked. He never thought Naruto was even close to being that cruel. "Naruto, I am ashamed of you." Naruto was still in the same position. He realized how serious Kyuubi was, since he only said Naruto when he done something terribly wrong. Naruto now regretted what he had done. He saw Hinata running towards him, with tears in her eyes. This sight ate at his heart, but he reluctantly faced her with his guard up. He loosened his guard as her arm exploded because she released her chakra right near the Zampo. She fell back, but got up fast and came at him some more. Sakura now ran towards Naruto, whom was now dodging regular strikes from both. Hinata couldn't use chakra strikes because he stood firm near the Zampo. They were aiming for Naruto's vital points, but they never was able to touch one. Naruto grabbed the Zampo then jumped away from the two. He held it up, with blue chakra emitting from it. Hinata and Sakura ran towards him, hoping they could kill him. Their killer intent was high and that helped them conquer their fears. Their fears of them dying by his hands. As they closed in on him, their whole body exploded out chakra. They fell back, wanting to continue, but couldn't move as fast as they wanted. He now ran to them with a swing that was able to take both their heads. They closed their eyes, but the strike never came. Once they opened them, they saw him sitting down.

"Are you going to kill us or what!?" Sakura yelled her anger and sadness clouding her thoughts. Hinata was about to yell too, but Naruto interrupted.

"I was never planning on killing you….or Sasuke." He looked at them with tears in his eyes still.

"Then why you kill him!?" Hinata wanted to know so bad, she didn't like to hurt other, but she would make an exception.

"I didn't kill him" He said slowly and softly. The others opened their eyes and looked at Sasuke's bloody body. "He is still alive."

"You liar!" Sakura yelled. A sudden thought hit her. "Prove it!"

"I can't prove it for another two hours, his life force is in the Zampo." He stated. He looked towards the body now. "I have done what I had done to help him and yourself. I didn't want to do it that way though and I regret it. I put your trust in me to a low level." He looked at his feet now. "If you want, you can leave this training."

"Kit, I can't believe I fell for your act." He was happy yet embarrassed. "Seems like the fox's slyness rubbed of on you. I indeed did teach you well at acting." He was laughing hard now. Naruto couldn't tell if Kyuubi was laughing at himself or him. "How you help them out though? I see experience in a life or death struggle. Not a bad idea to teach them."

'I thought making them be used to this at least once, will help them out in a real fight'

"Your act was perfect, Kit. The crying was real though, wasn't it?" The Kyuubi asked, now serious. Naruto was silent for awhile.

'The way their expression was…..it chewed at my heart Kyuubi-sensei. I couldn't bear the look of such terror on their faces. And knowing I was causing it.' He looked down. He looked back up to see Sakura sitting in front of him.

"Not until we see Sasuke alive" Sakura stated. Hinata didn't answer, but nodded in understanding.

"I'll wait to see if Sasuke is alright too. I just wanted you two to get an idea of what you will have to deal with. Anyone who is trained by me or linked to me in any way will experience this sooner or later." Mona and Konan now walked to the group. They sat down right next to Naruto.

"Hey tell us your story Konan, Mona, and Naruto." Naruto, just rolled his eyes, she wasn't suppose to call him that, Sakura was quite curious how they came to be so powerful. What were there're lives like to make them like this.

"I will not tell you my story" said Naruto. "But you can have Konan's and Mona's story if they want to tell you. Konan looked at the two now. It was clear to them, he had planned on telling them. Hinata, for the first time, looked at his eyes and noticed it.

"My father was one of the Hyuuga, but he left because of something he didn't want me to carry. He calls it the "cursed seal". He fled to Ame to keep me safe. I don't know why no one pursued him, but this gave him lots of time to be with me. His name was Hun Hyuuga. Hinata gasped after he said the name. She had heard her father talking to one of the Branch members about it. "Unfortunately, Ame was in a civil war when I was born. There was no other place we could go to though, so we settled in a village that was killing itself."

Flashback in Ame

"Son, you are my only living pride. Your mother has died, but you will not forget her. She will live in your heart always, Konan." He said as he sat on his couch. Konan was four at this time. He couldn't remember anything earlier than that.

"Dad, will we go back to where you and mom lived?" Konan looked in his dad's lavender eyes. "I don't like seeing people die here like this. I can't go to sleep without wondering if I would wake." He was young, about three. He was a fast learner; able to speak and walk decently. He done duties like fishing while he was two, so he had a much heavy responsibility.

"Hush." His father said softly. "Son, I would most certainly like to live in a place like Konoha in ways." He laid down now. The apartment was small, but big enough for them two. They had a small kitchen and one bathroom. Their bedroom was the living room. It was only big enough to have one couch in and a half done fireplace. The stone barley made it to the top of the house. The fire was on and blazing brightly. the wood was brown and infested with termites. The ceiling had a couple of holes in it. There on the floor was wood and infested too. It had holes and there were many pots and pans on the floor. They had to use it to gain water and keep the floors from getting wet. The water wasn't all pure, but was good enough for them. Hun looked up through one of the holes and into the dark sky. Konan laid right near his father. His father's arms around him and he felt protected. "Konan tomorrow we have to go hunting and fishing. We are running short of food again. I would like to just buy food, but not even that can be afforded in this city anymore. Only the rich can afford a decent living in this city. This city is always a target to the rebels, so they raised prices to fund the army that stay here. If we lived north of the city, we would have more protection, but only the rich can afford those." He looked at Konan's back and kissed his cheek. Konan would have felt it, if he wasn't sleeping.. "I'm sorry son. My foolish and selfish decision cost you at least some happiness in your life." With that said, he went to sleep. He had nightmares that kept him awake half way through the night.

"Daddy, wake up! We have to go fishing, remember?" He shook his dad, but didn't get annoyed. Konan knew about his father's dreams. Hun didn't want Konan to know, but he did. Konan already had the stick made fishing pole. They wore white cloths that looked like white torn rags. No one cared though, because most of them wore that fashion. As they walked, they noticed some military men walk by. Once Konan heard yelling, he turned half way around. Hun stopped him from looking, but one good glance Konan made. There was a man that stood in the middle of the three military men. Hun and Konan gathered some nice sized fish before hunting some deer. They only bagged one, but that was all they needed. On the way back, Konan now saw one man laying down on the floor. The man was obviously dead, but that didn't gain his attention for long. A women was crying and screaming at the military men. Yelling their names out.

"You guys are suppose to be our guards, our protection!" She yelled as she kneeled beside the man laying there dead. "Why you kill my husband just for little money!?" The guard didn't answer. He grabbed the turf of her hair and made a quick jerk back. She now had a cold blade at her neck by the second guard. There was many people walking by nervously trying to stay clear of them. They were all too scared to stand up to the guards. They knew if you messed with one guard, there will be more ready to come to his aid. Hun kept his pace and tried to keep his eyes off the scene. Konan could see his dad's hand shaking. Was it fear or anger that caused his trembling? He stopped, but signaled to Konan to keep moving. Hun didn't turn around until he heard it. A kid running out of the broken down apartment yelling "Mommy!" The lady was in a panic now.

One guard aimed his bow at the child. The lady jumped away for her son, not caring about the blade that was at her neck. "Run Fredrick, run!" She yelled while trying to run to her baby. She fell to the ground as she felt an agonizing pain in her back. The arrow struck her spine, making her waist and down useless "No!" This is when Hun turned around. Hun felt time slow down as he dropped what he carried and sprinted to the child. The man was now positioning a new arrow to aim with. Hun felt like he was getting no where as he seen the man let go of the bow string. Close to the child he jumped to take the arrow in the back himself. His attempt was in vain as he crashed right into a guard, whom have thrown his body in the way of Hun's. The arrow…..made its mark as it hit the child in the back. The child fell to the floor with a heart tearing scream. The Mother was still on her stomach with one guard over her. Hun picked himself up to get to her, but she was too far to get to before the guy stabbed her back. She screamed and her body went limp. Hun now aimed his sprint toward the man aiming his bow at him. The man released it, but missed. It was a nice dodge considering Hun's lack of training. Before the man could get another arrow, he was struck in the forehead by a jyuken strike. The brawl between him and the guards was short. He killed them all with jyuken strikes aimed for their brains. As much as he wanted them to die a slow and painful death, he had not the heart to do so.

"I hope Daddy gets here soon." Konan said for the fifth time to himself. He was cheered when he heard the door open. He jumped up to see his dad enter the "house".

"Konan, we will have to leave soon, ok?" Konan nodded as his dad started grabbing things in haste.

"Dad, what happened out there?" He asked with curiosity.

"I shouldn't have waited so long to help them!" He yelled in a squeaky voice. He was ashamed at his slow reaction. The guilt was high, he had the time to save them, didn't he? He was cursing himself as he grabbed things, which terrified Konan. Hun looked towards the door as he heard a bang. "Who is it? What you want?" He yelled without opening the door. His caution was high; it could have been guards on a revenge crusade.

"It is I, a person that have witnessed your courage." Hun opened the door. He saw at least fifty people standing right outside his door. "We would like to offer you to lead us in our fight against the rebels and the wrong-doing guards. We have always planned this, but we never had the training nor the money to do such things. With you, we can and shall victor over both. We are tired of having to face two enemies: the rebels and our own military. So what do you say?" The guy waited for his response.

"So you want me to lead an anti-guard town watch?" The all nodded. "Without the Raikage's consent?" They nodded again. "Meaning, we may call ourselves a bit of a rebellion ourselves?" They nodded for the third time. "Are you men out of your minds!? You have not even close the amount of men you will need!" They all looked at him with frowns.

"There are more volunteers. We are the council of them. We will have at least one thousand men, I assure you." He waited for his response. He got his response as the door closed on his face.

"Those fools! What makes them think the Raikage will allow them to do that?" He walked in a circle near the door. "What are one thousand men going to do about it! That's too small to make a significant change, isn't it?" He was looking at Konan. His precious son was wearing ragged cloths as clothing and had holes in it. He looked at the house noticing the holes and scanned throught the room. He seen rats trying to eat the food they gathered, but Konan scaring them off. His eyes dropped as he seen the way they lived.

As they were going to walk away, the door opened back up. Hun changed his mind just in time. What happened that day helped him decide even more. That same morning they found twenty blacksmiths willing to make armor and weapons for cheap to no price at all. Hun watched the men as they worked on the ore. "These people have great pride. To do all of this without charge; this will be slow. Only twenty blacksmiths to support a one thousand, five hundred man army." He said to himself. Konan looked at his dad with wonder.

"What are they about to do Dad?" Konan knew that armies were only needed for wars and battles. Were these men about to go to battle?

"We, are about to set up an army to fight back poverty in this city…..and the people who cause it." He stressed 'we' to let his son know that he is part of it. They accomplished raiding parties to get more stockpiles of weapons and armor later that day. From that day on, he saw less of his father and seen fewer men come back from the battles. They were indeed weakening in numbers, but their army stood strong and lost fewer than the enemies had. The "wrong-doing guards" were gone and thanks to the volunteer army, the prices were now affordable to all, thought poverty still existed. Not only that city was getting better, but many others were also. A two years had passed and Konan was now five years old. The volunteer army done a great deed for Ame, and the more good it done, the more hateful the Raikage started to become. The Raikage heard of rumors, saying the leader of the volunteer army will take the leaders spot. Also, the Raikage was just eating up the words of his advisers.

"Dad, are we going to leave now?" Konan couldn't help but get frustrated with his dad's absence.

"Sorry son, but if we can end this war, then we won't have to leave neither will I have to leave for so long. We won ten battles against the rebels, but lost too much men last battle." He looked down on paper that told him the results of all the battles they have fought. "We only got three hundred men for the next battle." He looked at his son with a smile on his face. "The Raikage is willing to help us with his army to weaken to rebels for good. I told him of what battle I planned and he said he would send reinforcement." He grinned. "After this battle he promised to make me general of his army. Also, the rebels would have not enough resources to attack again." Konan smiled. This was the first time had had seen his dad smile. When the next morning rose, he set out early with his army right behind him. They didn't realize that one child followed them. When they had reached their destination, which took two days to get to, they readied for battle. "Gil!" Hun yelled.

"Yes, sir!?" The man of the council stood their firm with his nice red armor suit on.

"Do you think they know we are here? I don't see anything." He gave Gil the scope. Gil looked over the area.

"It don't even seem like someone even tried to camp here. I could have sworn our spy said here on that message." Gil said as he reread the message and looked at the map.

"Lets go see!" all the men following close behind with weapons at the ready. As they moved into the middle of the field, they heard loud screaming. The rebels were running down the hill with an advantage of two thousand men. They ran to the volunteer army's right side. "I didn't think there would be this much! Fall back!" They tried to move toward the left for a retreat, but another army came. The men seen the banner, it was indeed their reinforcement. Once when the reinforcement came charging down the hill like the way they had, the soldiers had a bad feeling. Once close the "reinforcement" slain two of their men. "Watch out! The Raikage betrayed us!" Yelled Hun. The fight was not looking good to Konan. He seen his dad fighting with his jyuken strikes. It was killing men without need of contact. After he fell more than eighty men, an arrow had struck his dad in the chest. Konan's first thought was to run down there, but he knew he will be a burden. He watched the battle go bad to worse. The men fought hard but they were losing a terrible amount. The reinforcements had to have at least three thousand men. Konan ran back to the city in tears. He had seen his father die in battle. Once he got to the city he waited two days to hear the men's feet. Late at night of the third night, he heard screaming. The poverty was low in the city, now that the rebels were done for. He heard many feet walking by and people screaming. He heard many things.

"Please sir, we had no part in the battles! My son isn't the one you are looking for." At this time he started peaking out the new door.

"Then where is the child!?" The guard demanded. Konan seen the lady point to his apartment. Why would she do that? The guard ran at his apartment. Konan shut the door and ran to a new escape route his dad made. Once he was out a man grabbed him. Konan, frightened, struck the man in the heart with his jyuken strike. The man fell holding his chest and died fast. Though Konan couldn't use his byakugan, he was able to strike with chakra. It was a lucky strike on the chakra string. He ran across the road to a nearby man he remembered.

"Nero! Where is my dad? You guys survived the battle?" He had many other questions, but Nero told him to hush.

"Your dad fell in battle by an arrow. Only sixty of us survived that battle. We won the battle, but cannot continue no more. We now live as wanderers, since we have not much to fight back." He held out his hand. "Come young one we will go to the nearest, major village. West, to Iwa." Konan took his hands and the went on. When the finally got there, Konan was seven. They had to move slow because Konan was a child and because there was ninjas looking for them. In Iwa Nero fell to five ninjas, but Konan was saved by the Tsuchkage. He was wounded and sent to the hospital. One door from Mona and Naruto.

Hinata had a look of sadness and pity. "You didn't tell us much about Nero." she stated. "You don't pan on telling us what happened are you?"

"No, that story was even more painful than my dad's. I can't bear to try to even remember something that dreadful. I seen more death of people while traveling to Iwa." He looked to the clouds. "I wonder, isn't it weird how me, Mona, and Naruto ends up in the same hospital, near the same time." They all nodded except Sakura. Konan continued his talk, "Its like someone is writing a book about it, what a coincidence." Sakura, whom decided to answer differently.

"Yeah!" Sakura agreed. She looked to Mona now. "Tell us your story now."

"Why should I?" She thought for a moment. "Fine I will tell you. My parents were in league with the Mizukage, they died though. I was sent here by my first sensei. Nothing great about me, but it is said I am mixed with the Seven Shinobi Swordsmen and the Second Hokage's blood." Sakura and Hinata's mouth was wide open now.

"No way I'm believing the second thing you said!" Sakura yelled. Mona got up and shot some water out of her mouth. She turned around.

"I have the ability to take water from the air. I can see it floating right now." She had a smile on her face and her eyes closed. "Something tells me I'm not going to like my pupil." Naruto looked up at Mona with a smile.

"Then you will have to get use to her today. I think this was enough exercise for today." He looked at Sasuke's body moving. Sasuke leaned up, too weak to try anything. "Good to be up isn't it Sasuke." He looked at Sasuke's eyes. "Look like my act worked out. The pressure of a life or death situation helped it; your sharingan is now awaken." In his mind, he was able to hear a growl and something yelling "Kill him! He's an Uchiha, kill him now!" Naruto ignored the Kyuubi's response to the news. Sasuke ran to the nearby lake.. He looked at his eyes in the water. He smirked, he was too happy to have this, that he forgot what happened earlier. "We all are going to take a break; its already twelve now. We will take the rest of the day to get to know one another a little." He signaled to them. "Come, we should get something to eat." He looked at Sasuke's arm. "Sasuke, you might want to go to the hospital or your home to rest first though." Sasuke nodded and deactivated his sharingan and walked off. The place he was impaled was healed, but he was chakra depleted and the shock from the experience took a toll on him. "Do anyone know a good restaurant around here?" Hinata nodded.

"I know one, but its expensive." She looked at them. "I didn't bring any money with me." Sakura patted her pockets, gesturing the same thing no doubt.

"I will pay. Just lead the way" Naruto said walking to her. She started walking to the dumpling shop.

"The best thing about it, is they now have it as buffet here." Right when she said that, Naruto was running around here yelling "Hurry!" and "Lead the way!" She giggled in her head. Her giggled became a sad face now. "Amoco-sensei, please tell us why you scare us like that for." She said silently. Naruto stopped his pace and looked at her.

"I will tell you when we get to the restaurant." He looked around, seeing the people walking their ways. "Too many people near, so I cant tell you yet." Once they got there, they went to the to the cashier. "All five of us wants the dumpling buffet please." The man told Naruto how much money he needed and Naruto paid it. They walked over to their tables and waited for some good dumplings to come.

"Ok, are you going to tell us now?" Sakura asked.

"Okay, I will now." Naruto replied. He was about to start, but the waiter came and dropped ten dumpling off. They were on a stick. Five was on each stick and there was ten sticks. Once he left, Naruto decided to continue. "I scared you three to make you actually think that I was trying to kill you. I done it for Sasuke to get his sharingan and so you two can react faster when it really happens." He stated calmly.

"Why were you crying?" Hinata asked. "Was the crying an act as well?"

"Yes, I was crying. It wasn't at all an act." Hinata stared with shock as he confessed.

"Why?" asked Sakura. She was also shocked. Though he was a kid, he didn't seem like he was during that training.

"I couldn't bear the way you two looked. Like it was such horror." He looked at his dumplings. "I never do that just to tell you. I've only killed nine people in my whole life. That's because they were after me though." He tried to smile. "This village seems happy thinking I am dead. I guess I have to be happy because they are as well." He looked up, this time with a real smile. "So, what about you two? What's your life story." Hinata first didn't want to tell them, but decided because his blue eyes made her able to trust him.

"I am Hinata Hyuuga. I am the heir of the Hyuuga clan, but my father takes me as weak. I never confessed this with anyone except you three." She felt confident going through her body as she confessed. "I have low self-esteem and always quit things I try so hard to accomplish. I admired someone, but forgot whether it was a dream or reality." She looked up with hope. "I hope it was real, I really do. I like dumplings as you can see" She giggled after her last sentence. "I never talked like this with anyone before." She smiled with memory. Naruto, Konan, and Mona felt good when they heard her change. They helped her do that and were proud they were able to help. Naruto, Mona, and Konan knew she was done with her tale as she stopped talking. They now looked at Sakura. Sakura getting why in two minutes yelled "No way!" But was the use telling your sensei what you wanted. Mona's glare gave that information to Sakura.

"Fine!" She yelled nervously. The glare she was getting from Mona was too intense to stay calm. "I am a regular girl. I like Sasuke as you know, he will be my future husband." She giggled as her imagination wandered. She notice impatience coming from Konan. "My rival is Ino Yamanaka, she's after my goal as well. I will do anything to get my goal. I like pink and fond of the Daffodil. That's all for my part."

"Why do you like Sasuke so much, Sakura?" Asked Konan. He wanted a good reason for her to like him.

"Well its quite obvious, you know?" She said with annoyance. "I will tell you anyways." Her pupils seemed to dilate and become shiny. "He's so cool. He's an Uchiha, which are the most talented ninja's in the world" At this Naruto, Konan, and Mona's face dropped with annoyance. "I will do anything for Sasuke!" People around them turned as they heard that. This went unnoticed to the group.

"You will do anything for Sasuke, huh?" Asked Mona, which was clearly up to something. "Will you kill someone for him?" Sakura nodded vigorously. "Will you let him claim your life and do anything he says?" Sakura nodded again. "Would you even give up your loyalty to your village?" She nodded again, but with annoyance clearly on her face. "Would you even go with him, if he was named as demon and hated by everyone? Also declared as unstable?" Sakura hesitated. The nod never came. "Then you won't do anything to be with him." Mona stated. Sakura felt defeated by the girl, she didn't like already. Naruto looked at Mona with smile planted on his face. He now planted his eyes on Sakura.

"I'm sorry for Mona's……statement. It was nothing to hurt you an anyway I'm sure." His eyes with serious now. "Being around hate all the time…..makes you want to be sure of others feelings You have failed her test, but we thank you for your honesty." He smiled as he stood up. He slammed one hundred dollars tip on the table. He nodded and started to walk off, they all followed. Him. "Is there an attraction here? You know, like a carnival." He asked. Sakura started running up ahead, she clearly wanted to lead the way this time. They walked twenty minutes to get there, but didn't mind. The first thing they went to was a circus. They all had fun and laughs as they watched the performers. The next thing they watched was a band playing songs as the people did some weird dances that made them sad, happy, laugh, and confused. The shows were long and they were having one of the best times of their lives. One good attraction was a man challenging people to fight for five thousand dollars. All of the people who fought lost and were embarrassed. Konan walked into the stage now. The people laughed as they seen him warming up.

"Kid, this isn't a fake fight, you know" He said as he was laughing. He was laughing so hard, he was starting to cry.

"Try me!" He yelled with his little eight year old voice. His voice was high pitched, but not too high.

"No!" He yelled as he laughed. All the people were laughing exept Hinata, Sakura, Naruto, and Mona. The man got on his knees to look at Konan face to face. "How about we have a lifting challenge?" Konan nodded with a smirk on his face. Five people put down heavy weights, going in the order of lightest to heaviest. The man grabbed the lightest weight to give Konan a chance at least. Instead Konan picked up the heaviest weight with one hand and looked at the man with a pathetic look. Everyone laughed at the man, but the man took it from Konan and showed off. He took all the weights with difficulty, but did it. Konan walked over to the man and picked him up. He needed chakra to do this, but they didn't mention any rules. People were too shocked to do anything, so Konan put the man down and took the five grand. People were staring at him with amusement, wonder, shock, and fear. Naruto and the rest laughed as they dropped the two to their complex. They waved good nights and hugged each other. Naruto told Konan and Mona to go to the hotel. When they asked him what he was doing, he responed. "Are you two my sensei, or am I yours?" With that said, they shut their mouths and obeyed.

In Uchiha complex.

"I got my sharingan, but at an earlier age than Itachi. I am one step closer to my goal." He looked at his one wheeled sharingan through a nearby mirrior, with amusement." He heard a bang and turned around, his sharingan still activated. "I didn't think you would be here, Naruto-sensei." He said with a smirk.

"Your either hearing selecting, or incredibly stupid Sasuke." Naruto looked at him with his blue eyes. The room was dark, but they could see each other perfectly.

"I just don't like when someone plays stupid kid tricks on me." He looked directly into Naruto's now red slit eyes. "I didn't know you had a bloodline trait." He chuckled. "So that's why you are so good."

"No, I didn't use this on you when we fought. I only used it once in a life or death situation, Sasuke." Naruto didn't like how Sasuke was acting now. "Sasuke, having an advanced bloodline trait doesn't make you invincible." He said trying to kill Sasuke's overconfidence. "I won't train you if you act this way." Sasuke chuckled again.

"Why would I need your training, if I can beat you, Naruto!" He yelled as he ran a fast speed. Naruto pulled out his Zampo, but was knocked out of his hand as he went to use his technique. Sasuke had the katana from the earlier fight. The Zampo stuck right into a nearby wall. "Now that you don't have that damn sword, I can have a longer fight." Naruto just stood one feet from Sasuke's katana range.

"I wasn't here to have another fight with you, Sasuke." He stared at the taller boy near him. Sasuke still now had a long grin on his face. "You are not thinking you can kill me, are you, Sasuke!" Naruto yelled as he charged a mid swing of the katana.
