Naruto heard the knock on his door and he just yelled for them to come in. They enter Lee's house and Naruto looks over to see Neiji and Hinata had been the ones at the door. Naruto gets up and gives both of them a hug. Neiji had definitely aged and he looked kinda creepy with his withered face and his white eyes. Hinata definitely aged and her black hair was graying along with Neiji's. Lee walks in from behind and surprises Neiji by lifting Neiji onto his shoulders and he started walking around the room.

"Lee, I'm too old to do this anymore, even when I never wanted to do it in the first place." Lee puts Neiji down and soon they all hear barking outside. They all knew it was Kiba. As soon as Naruto opens the door, they see a large dog enter the house and right behind them is Kiba and Shino. Naruto saw something in Kiba's shirt and he soon saw that it was Akamaru. He was in shock but soon remembered that the pets of the Inuzaka live as long as their mentors. All of the friends sit down and start to talk about what they have done since Naruto retired. Apparently everyone but Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura knew that Konoha was withering. It had become weak with arrogance. They all told stories of some kids that had to be beat up so some common sense was knocked into their drug filled heads (killed by Kiba and Shino's standards). Sakura and Sasuke soon joined them. They all decided to wait for Ino, Shikamaru, and Ten-Ten and then they would all go to meet Chouji at his restaurant. The others soon arrive and they all proceed to Chouji's restaurant. As the group of elders walks through the streets of what was left of Konoha, they all see the drugs that were being sold, prostitutes, and hear the screams from people being mugged or killed. It sickened all of them and they slowly proceed to the restaurant that was on a bit nicer part of the village. Naruto looks to the side and sees a man was secretly 'renting' children to younger men. Pedophiles. Naruto saw the kids crying as one man strikes a kid and starts to drag him away. None of the elders were going to let that pass. Naruto, Ino, and Lee walk up to the man who hit the kid.

"What the hell is going on here?" asks Naruto.

"None of your damn business, fucker." Naruto looks at the man with a deep glare. The man just looks back, "You want to die, right? Well I'm happy to oblige." The man shoves the kid to the ground and pulls out a kunai and jumps back, forming seals. The man throws the kunai but Naruto simply catches it with one hand. Naruto sees that the kunai is attached to a thin wire. He suddenly sees fire racing along the wire and charging Naruto. Naruto simply hurls the kunai back at the man and it impales the man's chest. The fire continues along the wire and enters the man's wound. The man screams as his insides are incinerated. He falls to the ground. Dead. The seller of children sees this and tries to run away but he is soon stopped by a large dog which jumps on him and starts to bite his torso. The man screams as he feels teeth sink into his shoulder. Naruto walks over and the dog quickly gets off. Naruto picks the seller up and stares him in the face.

"I want you to do everything you can to stop all of this sort of business in Konoha and any of the other villages." The man spits blood into Naruto's face.

"And if I don't?" Naruto's eyes go from blue to red.

"Then you will end up like him," he motions to the dead buyer, "Only it will be much worse."

"My boss will kill you, you know that."

"And who is your boss?"

"That man." Says the seller and Naruto senses a man behind him. Naruto immediately ducks and he sees a kunai go over his head and into the seller's chest. Naruto looks around and sees a man wearing what appeared to be the full ninja garb. The man forms seals and around 50 clones form around Naruto. The clones pull out kunai and they all charge Naruto. Before Naruto can do anything, he sees needles flying through the air and they impale all of the clones. They all look around to see the retired sand ninja. Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari all looked at the 'boss' and laugh.

"This is the feared pedophile leader?" laughs Temari as she holds onto her large fan. They all see that the needles came from one of Kankuro's puppets. Kankuro controlled the puppet with one hand and he saw the boss try to run away. With one swift movement of his fingers, a large sword like spike fired out of the puppets mouth and impales the boss' chest. The body falls to the ground and blood starts to flow through the streets. Naruto sees that the crowd was looking in shock at what had just happened. They were shocked that someone not only stopped a seller of children, but also killed the man that ran the business with little to no effort. Ino walks over to the kid and saw that he was extremely deprived of food and water. His ribs were easily seen and his face had sallow skin. Ino takes the kid with them and gives him some clothes. He was wearing only shorts when they saw him. She gave him her cloak and he snuggled next to her. The other kids ran over to their savior and gave him large hugs. Naruto sat down and checked each one to see if they were ok. They all said that they were taken from their parents a few nights ago. Naruto told them to go home. They all listened and rushed home.

Ino soon found out that the kid was an orphan and was picked up by the pedophiles a few years ago and he was being 'rented' for cash. The pedophile would do his thing and then kick the kid out back to the abusive seller. They all decided that they would buy him some clothes and then take him to Chouji's for food. They buy him a few sets of clothes that hang loosely on his thin frame and they take him for food.

When they all arrive at Chouji's restaurant, they see a ninja talking to a slightly overweight man. They enter the restaurant and hear that the ninja was demanding protection money. Chouji laughed and grabbed the young ninja by the throat. They saw the skin turn to a red tint.

"Listen, boy. I was kicking ass while you were playing dolls with your sister. I want a respectable business and none of you little fuckers can take it from me." With this, Chouji hurls the ninja out of the door. The ninja gasps for breath as he slams to the floor. Chouji laughs and he soon sees his old friends. He gives large hugs and sits them down immediately at a large table. He says everything is on the house and he soon sees the kid. He personally gets the kid a meal from back that was meant for another customer and gives it to the kid, along with a soda. The kid first looks at the food and in seconds is stuffing it down his little mouth. Chouji laughs and makes the customer who's food he took from the back another meal. They all order and they eat, laughing and having fun. Chouji soon joins them and they tell him what had just happened with the boy. Chouji was easily pissed but he knew that nothing could be done now, since they were dead. Chouji looks over and sees a group of about 15 ninja enter the restaurant and start roughing up the employees. Chouji gets up.

"Dammit." He says to himself and he walks over. Sasuke walks over as well. Chouji punches one of the ninja in the face and he falls to the ground screaming as blood falls out of his nose. The group charge him but Chouji simply sidesteps every single one and walks outside. The ninja follow. They all pull out kunai and circle around him. Chouji forms seals and suddenly he is growing. He is soon over 40 feet tall. The ninja can't do anything as he simply steps on them with his foot. Their bodies are crushed instantly. Chouji picks up the broken bodies and hurls them right out of the village. He shrinks back to normal size and reenters his restaurant to see the ninja who he had punched was screaming at what he saw and he tried to run away but Sasuke grabbed him with a vice grip. The boy struggles but Chouji punches him in the stomach. The boy crumples to the floor, crying. Chouji picks him up and looks at the boy's face. The kid was young, around 18 or 19. Chouji threw the kid to the floor.

"Get out and don't come back. If I get anymore trouble, I will use force. Now go home to your mom and treat her with respect." The kid quickly gets up and starts apologizing as he walks to the door. Chouji gets more pissed, "I don't want your apologies, just get the hell OUT!" The kid runs out of the door and rushes out of sight. Chouji rejoins his pals and shakes his head.

"I can't believe how things got so bad so quickly after Naruto retired. I think it's the new Hokage. He seems crooked." Sakura just tells him that there is no way it could be the Hokage and they all leave for home. The next day, they would need to prepare for a hearing from the Hokage about what threatens Konoha.
