When Ken and NX made it back to the RZ, Ryu and Yuri both came over and help set the 2 females on the ground in the RZ light.

Ken said "So you want to go back and try again."

NX looked at the 2 new reploids and said "I guess...Are you."

Ken amused look which was not missed by Yuri got even bigger and he said "Sure, come on kid, there's a world needing saving...You can look after your girlfriend later."

NX blinked behind his helmet and said "Huh, girlfriend, what are you talking about." as he turned his head to look at Ken.

Yuri's eyes widen and then looked at the 2 before looking at the 2 girls and remember which one NX was carring and got an amused look on her face and said "Oh, quit teasing the poor boy...after all, it's only natural that the first female he ever saw would be the one he would fall in love with."

NX said "But I'm not in love...am I. I don't know. Why would I be in love with the first female I saw. I mean if you are right then does that mean I am in love with Ami." as he looked at the adults with a questioning look on his face after he pulled his helmet off.

All the adults present facefaulted and Ken said "Never mind, come on kid." as he began to walk over and grab another bracelet from the pile and then began to walk away.

NX put his helmet back on and grab another bracelet and began to follow Ken.

Ryu looked at the 2 recovering reploids and said "So...you think he actually likes that girl over there."

Yuri said "Who knows, he's a teenage boy. Anything's possible." as she walked over and sat down.

A scraping noise was heard catching both Ryu and Yuri attention and both got up and in a defensive stance looking toward where the noise was and both blinked as they saw Ami and Iruka who both were covered in partial black metal.

Iruka grunted and said "A little help here." as he motioned to the cart that both him and Ami were pulling.

Ryu and Yuri both ran over to where the cart was and both gasped and Ryu said "How the hell did you both find them." as they saw 20 mavericks who looked to be less then 6 years old.

Ami said "They were near the hospital...I think they were infants when they were infected by the virus. Get the extra bracelets. We need to put them on the ones who don't have them before they recover."

Yuri ran over to the pile and quickly grab a handful of bracelets and ran back over handing them to the others who quickly began to put one on each of the children and moved them out of the cart and onto the ground near the 2 NX and Ken had saved.

After all the children had bracelets Iruka fell on his ass and said "I'm tired...so Naruto and Ken bring those 2 or did they attack here and you beat them."

Ryu said "Naruto and Ken did. They left about 10 minutes before you got here."

Iruka nods and blinked and said "That's Hana Inuzuka. I've worked with her a couple of times on missions...That's...I know her name, her dad owns a weapon shop...What is her name. It's on the tip of my tongue." as he seemed to think.

A groan was heard as everyone turned and gasped as they saw NX carrying the body of Ken and Yuri said in a worried voice "Ken." as she ran over and saw a hole in Ken chest and she looked at NX and said "What happened. Is he going to be OK." as she put Ken on the ground.

Naruto fell on the ground and said "We were ambushed by the guy who originally took out Iruka. He appeared from behind and his arm was covered in lightning and by the time I saw him he had already plunged his arm through Ken's chest...he'll live but that guy is way to powerful for us to fight right now. Even with the attack I copied off kunai girl it didn't even touch him. He was to fast for my blaster to hit...he would have probably put a hole through my chest had he not been attacked my another maverick who lured him away." as he dropped his armor.

Iruka gasped and said "Naruto your hand..."

Naruto looked at his hand that was covered in black metal and said "It seems...I'm not as immune to the sigma virus as we originally thought."

Iruka looked at Naruto hand worriedly and said "Why did you believe that you were immune to it though. I mean, what so different about you that made you believe you are immune."

Naruto closed his eyes and fell back to the ground and after a few moment said "I told you all this isn't the first time the Sigma virus infected the world...the last time the world didn't have the chance that it has now...I told you my uncle and my grandfather were both alive durring that time...what I didn't tell you was that my father was also from that time."

Everyone's eyes widen and Iruka said "But that's not possible, your father..."

Naruto interupted him and said "My father was originally known as Megaman...This armor I wear was his originally...this armor was modified to protect him from the sigma virus...When the Sigma virus was released on the world my father and my uncle were both Maverick hunters...at that time...Mavericks were hunted down and destroyed...COMPLETELY."

Yuri and Ami gasped and Ryu said "You mean."

Naruto nods and said "Millions of mavericks were eradicated durring that time to save the world...It was believed that all of them were destroyed until a couple of hundred years ago when the body of a maverick was found my a man the world knows as the Six Realm Sage...the world see's him as a great man...but history is often wrote by the victor...The Sage used the body of the maverick he found and created the 9 Bijuu's and used them to help him unite 6 lands who were ran by warlords at the time. By ending the war between the 6 lands he was saw as a man who brought peace."

Iruka said "So he was really a bringer of peace."

Naruto said "And destruction...The Sage didn't understand what he truly did...When he created the Bijuu he also figured out how to use chakra because he accidently shocked himself with the body of the original maverick. He was trying to use the energy from the maverick to power the Bijuu..Since that shock unlocked his chakra he did the same thing to others using his chakra to unlock other peoples chakra which also passed the Sigma virus to everyone. That is why when it became active it was so quick to spread."

Ami said "But that doesn't explain why you thought you were immune."

Naruto bit his lip and said "I won't tell how but my father was turned into a child and had his memory of the past sealed away so he could observe the world to help track the level of containment of the Sigma virus. From what my grandfather told me he had been doing it several times over the years...now this meant that my father wasn't infected by the sigma virus as he had never been infected by it originally...that was part of the reason I was immune to it."

Ryu asked "Because your dad wasn't infected you thought you were immune."

Naruto said "No...that was only part of it I said...my mother was like everyone else except my father...that made me sort of a hybrid...add in the fact that I had came into contact with the original sigma virus from the Kyuubi the day I was born but had it extracted from me right after that by my grandfather and uncle. By this happening my body adapted and I became completely immune to the origanal sigma virus...We tested it several times over the years since then just to make sure...When the neo sigma virus first appeared my uncle captured a maverick and brought him to our lab...unfortinately he became a maverick himself and attacked us...I was also injured severly while only my grandfather was still quarinteened...for 4 years I was in a coma while my grandfather worked on healing me and working on a way to stop the sigma virus."

Naruto stood up and began to walk back and forward and said "It doesn't make any since. I'm immune to the original virus, I'm wearing my fathers armor that was made to protect him from the virus, my father did not contain the sigma virus and even though my mother had the original sigma dormant I'm immune to it so how did I become infected with the Neo Sigma. It doesn't make any sense."

Yuri said "What is different exactly from the Sigma and the Neo Sigma."

Naruto said "The only real differences I have found is the Neo adapted to survive and alters it's host to survive where the original only cared about survival of the strongest and destruction of those weaker then it's host. That is the only real difference I have found so far but I only had about 2 days before I first arrived her to catch up on everything that happened over the 4 years I was injured and I don't know what else my grandfather and uncle has discovered."

Ryu said "I thought you said your uncle was turned into a maverick. Was he able to be saved like we are and does that mean he's out there somewhere."

Naruto looked down and said "No...my uncles been linked to a computer so he can help my grandfather but he's still infected and sealed away...Damn it." as his hand sunk into the cannon and out shot a kunai which pierced a rat causing the rat to explode.

Naruto walked over and tap the side of his helmet and said "Gramps, I got another sample for you. Transmit when ready." as he placed his hand on the rat that disappeared in a beam of light.

After he was gone Iruka blinked and said "Is that the attack you copied off that girl."

Naruto nods and Iruka said "How exactly do you copy the attack."

Naruto said "When I hit a maverick and have them in a position where I can touch them for about 5 seconds my armor absorbs the energy left over from the attack in thier body and it carries the info on thier attack that I can copy."

Iruka narrowed his eyes and said "I...I think I know how you might have been infected."

Naruto looked at Iruka and asked "How." in a general confused tone.

Iruka said "The virus is chakra based from what you told us. What if when you copy the mavericks attack you are also copying the neo sigma virus. That's why it's only on your hand so far."

Naruto looked down and said "It's possible...that means I can't copy anymore attacks unless I want to infect myself more."

Yuri said "Your already infected. It will spread through your body the more you use chakra now. Your just like us now."

Naruto sighed and sid "I guess your right but...that means I'm not going to do what I had originally planned."

Iruka asked "What do you mean. What did you have plan."

Naruto said "We need to get more people freed...I was thinking after we got about 25 people, I could take 5 with me to a new location like a neighboring town and start the process all over again. Then I would repeat the process again and again spreading out to every village so we can cover more ground and take out more quickly. Using the Capsule's in each village to coordinate with each other."

Iruka frowned and said "That's a good idea Naruto...Even infected it could still could work."

Ryu closed his eyes and said "But your not going to be the one to do it." catching everyone's attention.

Yuri said "What do you mean."

Ryu looked around and said "I know all of you think of me as weak...lazy...a coward...in fact I prefer to be considered one of those compared to the truth."

Iruka asked "What truth."

Ryu looked down at his hands and said "I didn't look this young originally...In fact I'm the same age as Hiruzen...The Sandaime Hokage." as he saw the questioning look from everyone causing everyone to get wide eyed.

Ryu looked at Konoha and said "Konoha is a ninja village. Unlike neighboring village the people here will be harder to take out. Naruto...You are our best chance to save Konoha...Is there anyway I can go in your place."

Everyone was shocked and Naruto said "But why would you do that. I thought that..."

Ryu interupted him and said "You thought exactly what I wanted you to think boy...This entire time I have been observing you so that I could gain as much information on you and this virus so that...so that I can correct the mistake I made." as he looked toward the Hokage Monument.

Iruka said "What are you talking about."

Ryu looked at Iruka and said "My real name is not Ryu...It is Danzo Shimura."

Iruka eyes widen as did everyone elses but Naruto and Iruka said "Elder-sama."

The now named Danzo said "Do not show me respect because I do not deserve it...it is my fault all this has happened." causing everyone's eyes to widen again.

Naruto said "What do you mean."

Danzo said "I was the leader of a secret black ops unit known as ROOT. Hiruzen and I did not always see eye to eye but we both believe in protecting Konoha...I thought that he was a weak fool who believed in ruling through peace and diplomacy while I believed in believed in power and control...because I did not trust Hiruzen I had his office bug so I could monitor him and find out what he was up to...When your uncle came to Konoha he was here for nearly 3 days. I had the meeting with him recorded and he informed Hiruzen about you being there as well as the origins of the sigma virus and other things...I...I ordered some of my men to begin research into using the info he gave to possibly enhance our men to give Konoha more strength or to create a weapon...The first victims that was taken to the hospital were in fact members of my ROOT. Thier experimentation blew up in thier face and infected them which spread to everyone who came in conact with them and so on and so forth."

Naruto said "But if what your saying is true, why couldn't I get more from you then basic info. Why not some super cool jutsu."

Danzo stuck out his tongue and showed everyone a seal on it and he said "I believe it is because of this. While this seal is active most of my abilities that could be learned by enemy ninja who studied my body is sealed away. I suspect this is why I was so weak where you were able to defeat me."

Ami screamed "YOU." as she punched Danzo in the face and was held back by Iruka from continuing to attack Danzo.

Danzo looked down and said "I never meant for this to happen...which is why I want to help fix this. I'm a lot more powerful then all of you and I am more skilled then you. You on the other hand Naruto are both weak and inexperienced. The only reason you got Iruka was because someone stronger then you took him out. The rest of the people here are civilians. You need to stay here and help protect the others and train until you get strong enough to take out stronger mavericks as well as work with your grandfather to save our world. I'm a fighter. Let me regain my honor...please."

Iruka said "Why should we trust you. Your thirst for power has destroyed our world and now you want us to..."

Naruto said "ENOUGH." causing everyone to look at him.

Naruto took several minutes to look at Danzo and said "Danzo Shimura was a power hungry man who created a monster that destroyed the world."

Danzo bowed his head and Naruto reached up and touched his helmet and said "Grandpa, you there."

Light's voice was heard and said "Go ahead Megaman."

Naruto said "How long would it take for you to build another Capsule."

Everyone looked at Naruto in shock and Light asked "A few hours. Why."

Naruto looked at Danzo and said "We recently found out a man by the name of Danzo Shimaru tried to turn the Sigma virus into a weapon which is the cause of all this...it appears though that Danzo died by his own weapon."

The ones who were looking at Naruto glanced at each other and Light said "I see...While I am glad we have solved the mystery of the outbreak of the sigma virus I don't see why you would be contacting me to inquire about building another capsule."

Naruto said "Ryu was the one who discovered the truth about the outbreak. He has volunteered to go to another location to start the recovery process again. I have decided to honor his request."

Light said "Are you sure. I mean he will be without the protection he has now. He will have to work hard to set up a new RZ and rescue people."

Danzo said "I'm sure."

Light said "Well in that case if you are sure then I will begin building one for you. I will transport you at down along with a new regeneration ball and a new capsule to what was known as Tea country. Are you familiar with that area."

Danzo said "Yes."

Light said "Very well, I'll begin at once. Say any good bye's between now and then. Light out."

Danzo looked at Naruto and asked "Why did you do that. You could have told the truth."

Naruto said "My grandfather was once a great inventor...he created many things to help the lives of other people...but several of his inventions were used for evil that caused untold pain and suffering for countless victims. There was a time where both my uncle and father were both considered monsters and criminals who did what they thought had to be done in order to save as many lives as possible...even when my father was a Konoha ninja, he killed thousands of Iwa nins and by them he is seen as a monster and by the people here a hero...it is the part of us that is human that makes mistakes...but it is also this human side that gives us our greatest strength. In my eyes Danzo is dead. You are Ryu. I am giving you the chance others gave my family when people thought of them as monsters. Can you do the same as them and prove you are not."

Danzo smiled a small smile and got on his knees and bowed to Naruto and said "You are wiser then I and I hope someday I can prove you faith in me is not misplaced in not just your eyes but thiers as well."

Naruto nods and said "Good hunting and luck to you as well Ryu."

Danzo said "My name is Ryu and I am now and forever in your debt Naruto-sama."

Iruka frowned and said "Are you sure about this Naruto."

Naruto said "There is no more I in this world Iruka. We have to work together or die together. We each have made mistakes we have regretted. If I didn't give him a chance to redeem himself then what right do I have to ask forgiveness for my own mistakes."

Ami asked "And what misake did you make."

Naruto glanced at her and said "I had 2 choices when I recovered from my injuries. One was to come here and save all of you like I have been doing...The other choice I could have made was stay and help my grandfather work on finding a different way then this to save everyone."

Iruka said "And I'm for one glad you decided to go with this option."

Naruto said "Even though there is a chance you will all die now from toxins in the air in a few years. None of you would have died if I had stayed to help my grandfather. I could have chose to stay and worked on the problem of saving the plants first before the humans but instead I chose to save the human life first...and now you all face the burden of actually being aware you might die if my grandfather doesn't find a way to save the plants...the same grandfather who is going to have to be building Capsules, and regeneration balls and who knows what else we will need along the way, taking his time and resources away from the most important thing right now...there's no garuntee that we would have found a cure if I chose to help him instead of you...but it was garunteed you all wouldn't of had to live with the knowledge you will all drown in toxins in a few years if he doesn't...I have to live with that choice."

Yuri said "Then why don't you go back and help him now. I mean we can continue what you started."

Naruto looked down and said "I'm contaminated now...I can't go back...the price I paid to come here to save you was losing the abilty to ever physically touch my grandfather or uncle again until either we save the world or we all are about to die."

It was at that moment everyone finally realised what thier freedom had cost.
