Wow… I'm always surprised at how many people review this story and I have to say thanks a bunch. Seriously my other story doesn't get to many reviews and I wonder if it is good. I have to ask a favor to you all… please read my other story and tell me if it is any good… the first few chapters are going to be boring but the last ones have at least a bunch of action. So enough about that… Naruto is going after someone to upgrade his rank and yes he seems like a jerk but he has the same personality… a more serious one but the same. He's going to seem very powerful but just wait and find out how he gets beat up… XD.

Chapter7: weak
The village was simply put enormous, hidden in large rocks and mountains, Iwagakure stood mightily proud. Home of ruthless, unstoppable shinobi, suicide awaited the fool and a good challenge to the strong. A group of five people stood watching the village in a small hill on the northeastern side of the village where mountains could cover them from the night. Two figures started to move and set up camp as three stayed in the same place, looming at the potentially dangerous village.
"Okay… Kusamaru you should check for anything that might cause harm in our little entrance tomorrow… I know for a fact that just like Konoha they're very protected" Naruto said in a cool voice as the pale green man melted in the ground "A reason I chose him for this" he thought as he fixated his eyes on the biggest member of his group. "Doki you're going to distract everyone with you abilities… also since you're a rogue from said village…"
"Yeah, yeah… I get to destroy a few, right?... some had it coming" Doki said awaiting the affirmation of his leader "I don't want to anger him again" he thought with a shudder.
"Do what you must… just keep them occupied" Naruto said and noticed Kazuru's risen arm "What is it?" he asked the ex-sand shinobi
"Could I help with the distraction?.... I mean he's strong and has an impressive gift but alone he'll die quickly" Kazuru said reasoning with his leader
"You're right… yes, help him… Kabuto and Kusamaru will help me take down his guards" Naruto said and his eyes shifted dangerously at the laughing form of Doki.
"Don't get me wrong… you three combined are strong… but the Tsuchikage's guards are almost unbeatable" Doki said and for once he didn't quiver from the look of the jinchuuriki's eyes.
"Don't question my abilities Doki… remember last time" Naruto threatened "Kabuto and Kusamaru should take two each and I'll take down the Kage, sound simple but it wont be" Naruto said "I'll do a few things as well that'll make it even easier" he thought
"Sheesh Naruto couldn't you be any more arrogant" Kazuru said smiling at the serious expression of the man before all three of them exploded laughing and Kabuto had a face of pure confusion.
"Yeah keep acting like this and I'll try o believe it as well" Doki said with laughter in his voice "It's just a small prank don't take it seriously" he directed his gaze to Kabuto.
"Sorry Kabuto but this isn't the way I act at all… I'm still the same dumbass from all those years ago" Naruto said smiling as he gazed at Kabuto but that gaze turned to confusion when he saw Kabuto smirking.
"The same?… well you're telling me that I didn't joined the guy that in one night defeated the mighty Kakashi, four squats of Anbu and managed to escape Madara Uchiha?" Kabuto narrated the events he saw that night "I was going to talk to you that fateful night when suddenly you were fighting your former teacher and Anbu… I followed you and I was impressed at the seal level you were and then more Anbu and Madara"
"How… do you know all of this… I didn't even sensed you" Naruto protested "I know I felt everyone that day… the Kumo shinobi, Yamato… but not once him" he thought with obvious concern at been watched all day.
"You don't have to worry about not sensing me… I have surpassed my former master as well… its not surprising that you didn't sensed me" Kabuto said adjusting his glasses. He had the urge to laugh at the jinchuuriki's face but he knew that the boy was way stronger than he was.
"Did he saw me with the Rin'negan?" Naruto thought worried "None in this group has seen it and the later they knew the better" he was about to ask what he saw when…
"I'm waiting for you to show me the thing you showed Madara that day" Kabuto said looking levelly at Naruto who widened his eyes "It scared him for a moment… and to scare an immortal man you need something powerful" he emphasized.
"Good he didn't notice" Naruto thought with relieve "That comes in time Kabuto… we need to keep a lookout for Kusamaru… after he arrives we'll formulate a plan" he said setting his face and manners on serious mode.
"Sure" Kabuto smirked and the other nodded "Naruto-kun… what do you hide… if any luck I'll see it tomorrow" he thought smirking still, while similar thought lingered in the minds of the others as well.

Konoha forest a few miles before Valley of Ends
Jumping from branch to branch and trees from tree, the group of Konoha shinobi made way to Iwagakure's border where their friend was spotted. Everyone was having hope of finding the missing shinobi for personal reasons. Hinata obviously wanted the love of her life near her, Kakashi wanted to see all his students in one place, Sakura wanted to apologize and maybe something more… Shino and Kiba had basically the same reason… Hinata… if Naruto was home she would be back to her old self. Tension was in the group, each step brought more memories of the blonde… memories that they'd like to forget for some and good memories to those who treated him nicely.
"We'll camp for the night in that cave" Kakashi said pointing at a cave at the base of a lonely mountain near a river. "We are a few days from the border since it takes four days to get there…" he said as he walked calmly to the spot.
"We need to move at top speed to reach there faster… four days can take Naruto-kun anywhere" Hinata said forcefully the thought of being separated from the blonde of her dreams was hard to take.
"But we need every chakra we have" Sakura intervined "We still don't know if Naruto will fight us…" she was interrupted by a yell from the Hyuuga heir.
"He wouldn't fight us!" Hinata yelled in anger "He know that this specific group cares about him and" she also was interrupted but not by Sakura.
"That's enough you two… you two are both correct… we must get there in time but slow enough will get us apart from our target" Yamato said seriously "And Hinata no one here doubts that you care about Naruto… but you have to face reality… he vanished because he felt unloved… he would fight because we're taking him to the same place he wanted to leave" he said sagely at the girl who took a moment before nodding.
"Now Yamato how about some protection" Kakashi said and the wood user did some had-signs and wood pillars rosed from the groud in different directions and shapes around the perimeter. "Nicely done… everyone try and sleep we'll be going to run until we fall"
"Hai" every shinobi said as they made their way to the cave to have a nice sleep. Hinata felt someone stare at her, turning around she saw Sasuke looking at her just like all those times before… was it pity, sadness but it was something the heiress didn't like.
"I don't think I'd be a good wife to you Uchiha" Hinata said coldly activating her Byakugan at the same time in a intimidating manner.
"Hun… your intimidation techniques need more work Hyuuga… being my wife would not satisfied me either… you're too fluffy" Sasuke said equally cold but teasingly "I see me… the old me in your character Hyuuga… and not everyone will accept you… especially those who matter" he said in a lecture like tone and walked away leaving a fuming Hinata behind.
"Uchiha… you and I are nothing alike" Hinata said in a furious voice and jumped to attack as she saw the plain look the black haired boy gave her. Dodging her chakra palms Sasuke gave Sakura a meaningful look to stay away. Without activating his Sharingan Sasuke grabbed both of her hands and simply pushed her away and felt two people behind him and he knew perfectly who they were.
"Kiba… Shino…" Sasuke said monotonously like nothing happened.
"Uchiha" Shino said in an equal tone while the Inuzuka growled as well as his dog. "Please don't do that again" he said simply while adjusting his glases but the meaning was there and the Uchiha almost laughed.
"I don't know why you care… she doesn't see you two as friends anymore" Sasuke said coldly as he looked at the Hyuuga heir who was shocked to have been pushed so easily "Weakling" he deadpanned and calmly strolled off.

Iwagakure
Morning struck relatively early for Naruto's group. Naruto rosed up quickly at walked to the edge of the mountain side they were staying at and took a look at the slowly waking village. Smiling to himself he walked back to his already waking companions and sat down on a piece of rock and waited for them to finish. After an half an hour all five shinobi where heading down a path that lead to a part of the village's north gate.
"Do as planed" Naruto ordered and everyone scattered. Naruto stayed walking in the same direction taking full trust in his new group "They know the fate that awaits them if they betray me" he thought unpleasantly, he never wanted to be a killer, only if he had to but these years he learned a few things and some were learned the hard way.
He stopped a few meters away from the gate and grabbed a scroll from his pouch, unrolling it he saw the kanji's for person in six places "These… I wouldn't be using these but…" he thought as he channeled some chakra and … smoke.
Meanwhile Kabuto, Kusamaru, Kazuru and Doki arrived at their locations and waited the signal their leader talked about "You'll see it" he said. All of them were thinking along the lines of 'they better recognized it or else' the leader wont be happy. Doki readied himself and gather as much chakra as he could without alerting the guards while Kazuru drawed his swords and channeled a bit of chakra in them, Kusamaru melted in the ground smirking all the way and Kabuto only bit his thumb.
Naruto on the other hand was standing in a small clearing with mysterious figures behind him. "I know Gamakichi won't fit in this place… but I wonder" he thought with a smile. Biting his thumb and making some signs he thought "Summoning" a giant cloud of smoke and a medium size Gamabunta stood in the clearing, broken trees all around the toad.
"Huh?... Naruto?" Gamakichi said his voice more deep that the jinchuuriki remembered. Naruto jumped on his head and shushed him.
"Quiet… you're going to alert the guards" Naruto said in a low voice that only the summon itself could hear "I know its been a long time and I'll give you treats next time and all… but I need for you to throw some oil blast at the air in that direction" Naruto said pointing at the village's walls.
"Eh… Naruto that's a village" Gamakichi said sounding confused and slightly edgy, Naruto never seem like the guy to attack people out of the blue.
"I know… it's a mission Kichi… I want six of those blasts… I'll do the rest" Naruto said as he smirked playfully at his long time toad summon. Gamakichi still didn't like the idea of doing this but he was ordered to do so by his summoner, he shot six oil blasts through the air pointing at the village. The blast of oil were in the village's zone and Naruto got six kunai with bomb tags on each and threw them at the falling balls of oil.
The effect was instantaneous seeing massive shadows lingering above their village the guards sounded the alarm that went off in the entire village. But the gate guards didn't expect those massive shadows to turn into fire and they waited for the inevitable. Naruto smirked as he saw the falling balls of fire knowing that even if they used earth style jutsus the damage would be great still.
"Fan out… knock everyone out that oppose you… do not kill" Naruto said turning to the figures that disappeared at the moment he said the last word. "The one killing is going to be me" he thought as he walked calmly to the gates. Activating his Rin'negan he put a pair of sunglasses " I don't want anyone to know I have it yet…if anyone asks I'll say its to look cool" he chuckled at the lame excuse.
"Look at that" Doki said amazed at seeing the falling flames and knew that was the signal to move in "Of course distracting everyone and… pretty good" he thought as he made some seals.
"Hehe… some entrance… but nice plan" Kazuru said and he climbed the walls calmly.
"Impressive Naruto-kun… drawing the enemy's eye while reinforcements get unnoticed" Kabuto said as he planted his hand on the ground and… a giant green snake rosed intent clearly on destroying everything.
"Hehehehe…. Naruto sure like to show off… I need to locate him" Kusamaru said as he watched the blast colliding with houses and building. Standing behind a water tank on top of a building he heard the screams of terror and agony he suddenly ducked as he saw shinobi landing on the same roof as him "This will be easy"
x.x.x
Watching the terror, desperation and hearing the screams of agony his heart wanted no less than help them. Once he sworned to protect people that suffer but the leader of this village had it coming, at least there wouldn't be causalities like in Konoha after the Akatsuki attack. He stopped walking when three squads of Anbu appeared on the roof tops glaring at him he presumed.
"That's odd… they haven't attacked" Naruto thought on edge and felt someone behind him and smirked as the person behind him shoved a katana to his back… all the way through.
"Hehe that was easy" the shinobi said wearing a mask declaring himself an Anbu elite when the impaled person turned to mud "Substitution?" he thought in panic as he started feeling a slight pain on the back of his head before darkness consumed him.
"That… was easy" Naruto said correcting the unconscious shinobi as he felt shock running from the others "Well if that's everything this village has to offer… then my goal would be easy" he said in a mocking tone before all of the Anbu attacked him at once which made the blonde junchuuriki smirk "Fools"
x.x.x
On the other side of the village Doki had his hands full with a party of chunin and jounins. He stood head raised as if proud of himself while the Iwa shinobi looked at him in disgust. Some of them drawed their weapons while others started to make hand-seals.
"Time to have some fun" Doki said as he let out a huge amount of chakra enough to make all of them shiver and looked at the rouge with fear. Doki smirked and clasped his palms… his entire body seemed to absorb the earth that he stood on.
Sensing the imminent danger the shinobi threw weapons and some jutsu and were amazed that the huge man didn't bated an eyelash when this happened. Getting the bulls-eye as everything launched hit their mark they almost celebrated… almost. Doki stood smirking in the same place he had not moved an inch; the massive man started making hand-seal much faster than the others and… "Earth style: Terra Uprising" he yelled as the area they were standing erupted upwards scattering debris everywhere.
"Hehe I told you it was going to be fun" Doki laughed but he was silenced abruptly when he saw a man land in front of him and withdrew his sword. He widened his eyes when his earth made body crumbled to the ground.
"You were a fool Doki… coming here was suicide" the man said and started to walk away when he sensed something below him, jumping he saw an arm was about to grab him, looking at the form his former comrade he was in shock… Doki was getting up.
"I'm not the same weakling as before" Doki grinned as his body parts came to him reforming his body.
x.x.x
Kazuru was having a tremendous time, fighting every shinobi he found was almost impossible, he opted to go as fast as he could and find Doki. He soon was surrounded by chunins by the looks of it and they were mad… amusing. He readied his swords and prepared to at least wound them enough for them to stop.
"Well this is interesting… huh?" Kazuru said and then he heard an explosion and looked back and that was a mistake, looking upfront again she saw all the chunin with in arms reach. "Shit!!!" he thought in panic.
Jumping backwards he raised his swords and blocked two kunai that were ready to stab him while he rotated and kicked a ninja in the gut. He kept the defensive maneuvers while thinking "I got distracted… but that explosion wasn't suppose to happen" blocking close range attacks but was more concerned about long range that's until he saw a gutsy chunin flash through some seals and spark flying everywhere.
"Lighting style: Skipping Thunder" the chunin yelled and lighting shot from the tips of his five fingers and went to the rouge hitting the ground multiple times (like when you throw a rock in the lake).
"That's an A-rank ninjutsu… time to get a bit serious" Kazuru thought as he channeled chakra to his blades and in multiple swipes he destroyed any weapons throwed at him. Seeing the lightning coming at him he smirked "Slashing wind" Kazuru moved his sword upright and swung them at the chunins. The wind attack easily cut through the lightning and kept going until finding a stop as it cut the chunin down.
"Shit… I think I killed him… Naruto's going to be pissed" Kazuru whispered as he readied him self for more attacks but saw the shock on the chunins faces "My opportunity to take them down is now" he thought and disappeared.
x.x.x
Kusamaru smirked toothly as he watched every single shinobi that faced Naruto were being defeated so easily that the ex-kusa ninja was beginning to wonder if his leader was human. Shinobi were being knocked out two or three at a time but he widened his eyes as he felt something nearing him… a volley of kunai and shuriken struck him before melting into a pile of mud. Taking a peek from the ground he saw two jounin land on the spot he was in and to his surprise they were looking at the spot he was in now.
"Well they sure are interesting" Kusamaru thought as he rose from the ground and stare at the two shinobi in front of him. "So you've been able to sense me… interesting" he said smirking as the tow jounins narrowed their eyes.
"You'll die here scumbag" one jounin said as the other made seriously fast seals. "Fire style: Fireball" as the fireball drew closer to the rouge when…
"Earth style: Rising spikes" and a path made out of spikes made its way to the jounins also destroying the fire attack from below. Seeing the same shinobi doing seals again Kusamaru reached inside his robe and pulled… grass.
"That won't do much" the first jounin said as he grabbed a sledgehammer from his back and started spinning it. "You'll die in a few seconds" he said while the rouge nin smirked.
"Fire style: Fire Dragon Missile" a blazing dragon shape fire ball went straight to the spikes destroying them but it didn't stop there. Releasing the grass on his palm and on the other just holding a hand-sign "Ninja Arts: Grass Blade Projectile" and every single piece of grass sharpen themselves and diverted from the fire attack spreading in two parties to attack the tow shinobi at the same time. Kusamaru dodge just in time the fire attack and made some more seals and the grass around him little as it was came to him.
The tow jounin dodge the projectiles coming at them but the sharpened grass kept coming and in that distracting moments Kusamaru smirked "Ninja Arts: Grass shower" and a giant ball of grass exploded and millions of grass blades started to circle the two jounin in a fast pace and before any of them could do anything the grass fell on them, scratching, cutting and stabbing. The two jounin were almost buried in a pile of grass.
"If I wanted I could've killed you… be gratefull to our leader" Kusamaru said in his grave low tone.
"At least you follow orders" a voice said from above him, looking up Kusamaru saw Naruto on top of a building looking at his work. Naruto saw the grass man jump to the roof "It makes me look cool don't you think?" Naruto answr the unasked question his friend was about to say.
"Maybe" Kusamaru said cautiously "Nice job back there"
"Thanks" Naruto said as they began to head to the Tsuchikage's building.

This was the most fun he had in a while, even more than that fight he had with Naruto when they met back a year ago. The fight he had with the boy turned out to be brutal it left him in the border of death because of exhaustion of his body and chakra depletion. He was having a hell of a time but difficult… not allowed to kill anyone just… disable them. It was amusing to see his summon destroyed so quickly… but those who were responsible got a piece of what its like to be grabbed by a snake… their bodies broken but alive. Kabuto landed on the street and was quickly surrounded by two squads composed of jounin and chunins, smirking a sadistic one he lifted his own Kusanagi and prepared to attack when…
"Who the hell are you?" Kabuto asked angered that the new arrival was at giving him the back when clearly he didn't know the person.
"Kabuto-san… leave this to me" the man said not even turning back at Kabuto. Kabuto on the other hand was getting angrier at the disrespect the guy was giving him, who was this guy to ruin his fun. "If you have doubts simply look at our robes"
"Why do you have said robe" Kabuto asked a bit on edge seeing the swirl on the back "This guy could've killed one of our companions" he thought and the man finally turned "What?!"
"Now do you believe" the man said his face was like Naruto's but paler and grim, glasses and even the whiskers were there "I'm one of Naruto's six clones who have gone a few alterations… you can call me… Demon realm"
"Right" Kabuto said as he jumped away, looking back he saw the weird clone do something and various explosions happened. Smirking the improved version of the snake sannin kept jumping while thinking "You've been naughty Naruto-kun… how many secrets you have left" he thought and let a chuckle escape his throat.
Landing on a clearing he saw his enormous comrade Doki fighting someone who was very skilled in kenjutsu but with Doki's abilities it wouldn't matter. The swordsman kept attacking while Doki merely dodge or blocked, it seems the kenjutsuist was tired while Doki wasn't. The ex-Iwas shinobi grabbed the incoming attack with both hands and kicked the man quite roughly in the chest making him spill out blood and crash on a pillar that was thrown earlier in the fight with a sickening sound. Doki stretched his arm and it launched at the struggling shinobi, expanding itself the stone hand trapped the ninja in the pillar, rendering him useless.
"Nice" Kabuto said as he approached "The guy was doomed from the start I presumed"
"Yeah… he was strong but nowhere near my level" Doki said jumping with the renewed snake man to find the kage's tower. Jumping several buildings the stopped to see an entire street with almost thirty or so unconscious shinobi suddenly a figure showed on a roof sheathing two swords on his back.
"I guess we found Kazuru" Kabuto said while Doki nodded jumping to were he was the ex-suna ninja looked at them with a bored stare.
"It's about time… I thought you were going to stare at the scene al day" Kazuru said roughly as he looked at the distance were a powerful killing intent was radiating.
"That's the Kage" Doki confirmed at the looks from the others "I'd sense him anywhere… let's go Naruto must be waiting" he said jumping to the direction of the menacing chakra.
The three of them kept jumping in a fast pace from roof to roof and getting more confused with each step, no one had attacked them but looking closely they saw many if not all shinobi were either unconscious or dead. Arriving at the roof of a building that gave a complete frontal view of the Tsuchikage's tower they saw the streets full of Iwagakure's shinobi all knocked out or struggling to stay conscious. The three rouges stood in shock since there was no way a single man could do this.
"Enjoying the sight" Naruto's voice came at them from behind "I've been waiting for almost ten minutes" he said in annoyance as he walked to the edge of the roof.
"Did you do this?"Kazuru said in a low tone almost whispering his voice about to fail him "If he did… then he's undefeatable"
"No… they did" Naruto said smiling a fox's grin pointing ahead. Out of nowhere six figures appeared of different buildings at the distance "It's a technique I've developed… not using actual dead bodies but shadow clones with a few jutsus and seals" he said proudly.
"I'M KILLING YOU ALL!!!" a powerful voice roared through the vast silence the attacking group created. All of the sudden shinobi rained around the tower, Anbu appeared flanking their position said to dare attack them. At the top of the building five figures appeared, in the middle stood the Tsuchikage, robes and hat with him at his sides four shinobi with also menacing looks.
"Let's move a bit furder" Naruto said jumping, his companions following behind, getting a bit to close a few kunai were shot to warn them to not advance anymore. The six figures walked calmly to Naruto's side as if waiting an order.
"Tsuchikage… your village is weak" Naruto said in a taunting manner as he smiled at the leader of the village and his companions. The blondes new group was looking at him like he was crazy and knew that hell was going to brake lose... very soon.
