Itachi bowed before his master and said:

"My Lord there is no word yet of the Light Carrier's whereabouts."

A dark being sitting in a throne-like seat glared at his second in command and replied:

"Well this is something you can't rely on others for, even if they do belong to the Shadow Clan, you'd better look into this matter personally Itachi, this is now a matter of the Uchiha Clan."

Itachi rose up from the ground, bowed to his master one last time and said:

"As you wish Lord Madara, I will take care of this matter personally."

And with those words Itachi vanished, leaving no trace he was ever there to begin with.

Madara looked up and his gaze became lost in the flame inhabiting his lamp hanging from the sealing, as the many colors filled his vision he clenched his fists and thought:

Curse you and your Clan of "Light" Minato… I will find the last of your kind and eliminate them from the face of this planet…


Naruto was deep in meditation as he sat in what appeared to be a cocoon of light, the four sides of it manifesting in the form of lotus flower petals. Jiraiya and the rest of the Brotherhood of Light synchronizing in projecting light based chakra out their palms and fingertips.

Naruto's body was bathed in a pool of light as the device of light programming information into his very consciousness, various blueprints of different manifestations of the light chakra, it was amazing, it could fortify someone's power to the point where the user almost becomes a different person altogether during times where they must defend themselves or others from the dark forces in this world.

Suddenly the Cocoon of light bursts open and Naruto fell onto his hands and knees coughing like he just been submerged in liquid.

Jiraiya and the rest of the Brotherhood rushed over to Naruto and helped him on his feet, just as soon as Naruto was able to speak he was about to go on and on about the amazing abilities he had but before the words even left his mouth Jiraiya put his forefinger over Naruto's lips, notioning for him to remain silent as he said:

"Now the true training can begin."


Tenten sighed and blushed as she thought of Naruto's changes, as she was preoccupied in thought she was on her way to a little cafe down the street, to have a bite to eat and chat with her friends: Sakura, Ino, Hinata, and Ayame. After about ten minutes of travel she finally arrived, slipping in the door stealthily and shifting her gaze constanty, trying to spot her friends, not more than a few moments later a voice spoke from over in the corner:

"Tenten over here."

Tenten shifted her gaze in the corner and smiled and began to approach the table as her friends smiled at her invitingly. She sat down and said:

"Sorry I'm late girls, I didn't get that much sleep last night."

They all smiled and Sakura said:

"Don't worry about a thing Tenten, let's eat now okay?"

Tenten smiled cheerfully and replied:

"Sure."

A few minutes later they ordered and while they waited for their food to arrive Sakura decided to get a multiconversation going, she cleared her throat and said:

"So has anybody heard anything on Naruto's condition? I heard her was having violent bursts of chakra he couldn't control, and when he woke up Tsunade said something to upset him and he just ups and disappears."

Sakura shifted her gaze at Hinata and said:

"Say Hinata you were the one who brought him back right?"

Hinata nodded and blushed as the memory of her rescuing Naruto. Sakura observed her closely and asked flirtingly:

"So did anything happen between you and Naruto I should know about?"

Hinata's cheeks couldn't resemble more of a crimson shade in that moment as Ino hushed her down and said:

"Quit teasing the poor girl she's liked Naruto longer than I can remember..."

Hinata's gaze drifted to the side as Ino sighed and said:

"You know I went out with Naruto a few nights ago."

"Oh really?" Every other Kunoichi responded, looks of jealousy and admiration directed at Ino.

After a moment of silence she sighed again and continued: "Yeah the date went alright but at the end of the night when I tried to pull a move on him he just apologizes and disappears."

All of the other Kunoichi smiled to themselves that Ino didn't take Naruto away from them.

After a few minutes of awkward silence the waittress arrived with their food.


Naruto took a deep breath as he put his hands together and roared as he began to summon chakra, his eyes shifted to a golden yellow as an aura of blinding, golden light surrounded him. Naruto concentrated a large portion of the chakra into his right hand and closed his eyes as he began to concentrate hard on visualizing the chakra as his favored weapon, when Naruto opened his eyes the golden orb of chakra in his hand constructed a long sword, the blade resembling that of a holy weapon, runes of a deep oranges texture carved down the sides of the blade. Naruto grinned and turned around bowing to his teacher, Jiraiya smiled and said:

"Lesson one complete, we're moving onto the next lesson."

Naruto smiled and nodded in response, a confident and excited look embedded into his very facial expression.


Tsunade sipped her home brew Sake with delight as fond memories of Naruto's parents flashed before her very eyes. She sipped the bottle as she said to nobody in particular:

"Minato, Kushina, your son is exactly as you wanted him to be, a true selfless Hero... Now if only Jiraiya can whip him into shape this world might actually have a fighting chance."

Tsunade downed the rest of her bottle and looked at the bottle with a frown as she thought:

Empty already?

Before Tsunade had a moment to further her thoughts a knock sounded from the other side of her office door, she slid the empty bottle into one of her various empty drawers and called out:

"Come in!"

The door opened slowly and the form of Kakashi emerged from the doorway, he shut his favorite book and slid it into his coat pocket.

Tsunade looked at Kakashi curiously and asked:

"Why the unannounced visit Kakashi?"

Kakashi sighed and replied:

"Sorry for the intrusion Lady Hokage, I was merely interested in Naruto's condition, I heard he was just released from the hospital earlier today."

Tsunade smiled and said:

"It's funny you should mention that Kakashi, Naruto has just recently acquired the Light."

Kakashi's eyes widened in realization as he replied questionably:

"You mean-?"

Tsunade nodded and smiled as she said:

"He's training with Jiraiya and the Brotherhood of Light as we speak..."


A/N: Hey readers both old and new I welcome you to my story, for my older fans of my writing I merged chapters 1-2 together so more people would be drawn to my story after chapter 1, and once I did that I realized I screwed up the formatting for my chapters, so just review for the last chapter and this chapter in one I guess. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Anyway I hoped you enjoy the read, as always please REVIEW if you care!
