Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto, and I never will. OC's are mine and sois the idea for the fic.

A/N: I was lazy again....I had this Chapter finished a while back, but never got around to putting it on here. So, to make up for it, I'm putting up two chapters. That's all for now. Also, a warining: Tayuya is in this chapter, so there will be a lot of adult language.


The katana came down toward Ryu, when...CLANG!!!

Ryu opened his eyes slowly. Standing in front of him was someone he would never have expected. "Setsutako-sensei..." he whispered.

"Ryu, I thought I taught you better than this. You underestimated your opponent and didn't use your full power," Setsutako said, holding Shinku back with two katanas.

"So...that's how you knew that technique," Shinku said. "You shouldn't have interfered, Swordsman, because now I'll have to kill you too."

"Your overconfidence will be your downfall," Setsutako stated.

"We'll see about that," Shinku said as he jumped back. Setsutako came forward and they began a kenjutsu battle.


Meanwhile, with Sasuke and Konpeki...

Konpeki brought his sai down, aiming to kill Sasuke. However, he didn't get the chance, since he was kicked away. He flew sideways and skidded across the ground.

Sasuke looked up to see who had saved him, and saw none other than Itachi. "Hey otouto, it's been awhile," Itachi said, smiling at his brother.

Sasuke didn't know how to react, showing only shock. "Don't worry, you don't have to act like you hate me. Only my partner, Kisame, is around," Itachi said.

"Wouldn't I blow your cover if he saw that I wasn't angry with you?" Sasuke asked.

"No, he's on our side. Jiraiya-sama recruited him as a spy, so he already knows my mission," Itachi said. Konpeki started to stand back up. "Rest otouto, I'll finish this."

Itachi pulled out his ANBU katana and charged Konpeki.


Naruto and Kochou...

Kochou swung her kusari-gama at Naruto, only to be stopped by a kunai. The kunai was held in front of Naruto, blocking the bladed end. Kochou was about to hit Naruto with the chain end, but her kusari-gama was jerked out of her hand. A bandaged sword was held at her neck.

"I'm surprised gaki, I thought I was going to have to save you," Kisame said.

"No," Naruto said, raising his head. Kochou saw that his eyes had changed. "I had it under control."

"Sure, caught in a genjutsu and not being able to find your opponent. Yep, you were in control all right," Kisame said sarcastically.

Naruto noticed the cloak that Kisame was wearing. "Akatsuki!" he gasped.

"Don't worry gaki, I'm on your side," Kisame explained.

"Since you're helping me, I'll believe you...for now," Naruto said.

About that time, Kochou kicked backwards, hitting Kisame in the soft spot. Kisame's eyes bulged as he fell to his knees. Kochou jumped away and pulled out a bottle of green liquid. She popped the top off and drank it.

"Much better," Kochou said, making handseals. "Time for my best attack, Magen: Kagirinai Akumu!"

Inside the Genjutsu...

Naruto wasn't able to turn away quick enough and the genjutsu started to take effect. At first, all Naruto saw was darkness. Then, a sky and village formed. The sky was covered with dark clouds and the village was partially destroyed and on fire. People were running around, screaming.

"Where am I?" Naruto said. He started walking down one of the streets. After some walking, he ran across something that chilled him to the bone. Lying on the ground in front of him were the bodies of his friend and family. Naruto stared at the bodies, tears coming to his eyes.

"Noo..." he whispered. "Noo..."

Outside the Genjutsu...

"NOO!!!" Naruto screamed as red chakra burst from his body. His nails and teeth grew sharper and longer. His hair became wilder, whisker marks deeper, and his eyes turned red with slits. Then a red coat started to form around him. It formed claws, ears, and one tail. Naruto went to all fours as the tail swished behind him.

"What are you?!" Kochou said, her voice matching the terror on her face.

"I'm your worst nightmare," Naruto growled.


Setsutako and Shinku...

Shinku landed on the ground, hard.

"I told you that you would fail," Setsutako stated, holding his two katana at his side.

Shinku spit blood on the ground as he stood. "I'm just getting started," Shinku said as he downed a bottle of red liquid. He disappeared and kicked Setsutako back. Setsutako landed a couple of feet away.

"Using a ninja booster? You are not worthy of being a shinobi," Setsutako said.

"This booster gives me enough power to destroy you. Your ramblings aren't needed," Shinku said before disappearing again.

"Setsutako-sensei, where'd he go?" Ryu asked, looking around.

Setsutako's eyes widened in realization. "He's going after Ryu!"

Shinku appeared behind Ryu, his katana raised. "You'll be the first to go," Shinku said, smiling. He jabbed his katana toward Ryu. "Noo!!!" Setsutako yelled. He sped toward Ryu with amazing speed. He was able to get between them, but Shinku's katana went through his chest. Ryu's eyes were wide with horror.

"Don't worry Ryu, I got this under control," Setsutako said weakly. Shinku jerked his katana out of Setsutako's chest. Setsutako fell backwards and was caught by Ryu.

"Setsutako-sensei!" Ryu said.

"Ryu...you were like a son to me. I'm sorry that we didn't get to spend more time with each other," Setsutako said, coughing up blood.

"Don't talk like that sensei, you're gonna be okay," Ryu said, tears forming in his eyes.

"Gaki, I-I want you to have this," Setsutako said, handing Ryu a sword. It was longer than Ryu's katana and had a bluish-silver blade. The hilt was dark purple with a diamond embeded near the bottom.

"This is your best sword," Ryu said. "I don't know if I can take it."

"Take it Ryu, I definitely don't need it anymore. You are now taking my place as a Seven Swordsman," Setsutako said.

"I can't. I'm not nearly as good as you," Ryu said, shaking his head.

"You are Ryu, I believe in you. Now, take down...that...asshole," Setsutako said. His eyes fluttered, then closed as the life left him.

"Sensei!" Ryu yelled as tears ran freely down his face.

"How touching. I think I feel slightly sorry," Shinku said, thinking. "Nahh."

Ryu started to shudder. He looked up at Shinku. Ryu's eyes were silver with a slit down the middle of an amethyst star. Black chakra started to flare around him.

"What the hell?! What's going on?!" Shinku yelled.

The black chakra formed around Ryu. His face became fierce as small black scales formed under his eyes. His teeth and nails got longer and became razor sharp. Shinku was now looking at a Ryu with a black chakra cloak that formed large claws and one tail. Also, there were two black chakra wings coming out of his back.

"I will never forgive you for this!!!" Ryu roared as he flew at Shinku.


Konpeki and Itachi...

"Suiton: Suiryuudan no Jutsu!" Itachi and konpeki yelled at the same time. The two water dragons battled each other for dominance. Suddenly, two huge waves of chakra (Naruto and Ryu) made the two dragons fall apart.

"Naruto is using the Kyuubi, but what is that other signature...is it that Ryu kid?" Itachi thought as Konpeki looked for the chakra signatures. "Time to end this," Itachi said quietly, activating the Mangekyou Sharingan. He waited for Konpeki to turn toward him. Konpeki gave up on trying to find the chakra signatures and looked back at Itachi, right into his eyes.

"Tsukuyomi!" Itachi said.

Konpeki was suddenly in a red and black world. Standing in front of him was Itachi. Konpeki tried to attack, but found himself bound to a post. "What the hell?" Konpeki said.

"You are in my world. You will be tortured for the next 72 hours," Itachi said as more Itachis appeared. They each started to stab Konpeki, one at a time, hearing his bloodcurling screams after every one.

Sasuke looked on from the outside as Konpeki fell to the ground and Itachi went to one knee. "Itachi!" Sasuke said, running over to check on his brother.

"Don't worry otouto, I'll be fine," Itachi said, standing back up.

"We need to help Naruto and Ryu," Sasuke said.

"No, they need to do this theirselves," Itachi said.

"What are you saying?!" Sasuke asked.

"With the state they're in now, it would be dangerous to interfere," Itachi said.


Naruto and Kochou...

Kochou was thrown back into a tree, crashing through it and more. She finally stopped at a final tree and coughed up blood. "How did he get this power?" she thought as Naruto stalked forward.

"Stop, I give up!" Kochou said.

"Why should I? You tried to kill me!" Naruto said as a claw reared back. Suddenly, his eyes fluttered and he fell forward, Kyuubi's chakra disappearing.

"You'd better be glad I was here. Although, I should've just let the gaki kill you," Kisame said. He walked over and tied Kochou to the tree. He then picked up Naruto and went back to Itachi and Sasuke.


Ryu and Shinku...

"Ninpou: Sashimitaki!" Shinku yelled, bringing his glowing katana down. The katana only hit Ryu's chakra cloak and breaking in half.

"My turn," Ryu said. His claw grabbed Shinku and slammed him into the ground. Ryu's claws then repeatedly slammed down onto Shinku. "This is for my sensei!" Ryu was about to deal the finishing blow, when he fell over, chakra cloak disappearing.

"Good job Kisame," Itachi said, picking up Shinku as Sasuke got Ryu.

"Hai, but this demonic chakra is taking its toll on me," Kisame said, using Samehada as a cane.

"Hn. Lets get these three back to Konoha," Itachi said. Kisame nodded and they jumped off.


Konoha, 2 days later...

Naruto and Ryu had just got out of the hospital and were walking to Ryu's house.

"I still can't believe I went Kyuubi. I barely remember what happened," Naruto said.

"Me neither," Ryu said. When they reached Ryu's apartment, they noticed that someone was there.

"Naruto-kun! You're finally out!" Hinata said, running and jumping on Naruto. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine Hinata-chan," Naruto said, smiling.

"What's up Naruto," Sasuke said from next to the apartment. Sakura was standing next to him.

"Nothing much, just been in the hospital," Naruto said.

"So, I thought you didn't like her like that?" Ryu said, noticing that Sasuke was holding Sakura's hand.

Sasuke and Sakura blushed. "Yeah, well I lied."

"I thought so," Ryu said, smirking.

The group spent the rest of the day together, hanging out and talking about all sorts of things. Naruto, Ryu, and Sasuke explained what happened on their mission, skipping the parts about Itachi, Kisame, and the transformations. Ryu was slightly downcast about Setsutako's death, but he had his friends and cousin to help him.


3 o'clock the next morning...

"I can't believe how easy it was to get past those guards," a man said. He had six arms.

"Those guards were a fucking joke. No wonder Orochimaru-sama wants this fucking village gone," a teenage girl said.

"Tayuya, that is very un-ladylike behavior," a fat man said.

"Shut the fuck up fat ass," Tayuya said.

"Both of you shut up. We have a mission we need to complete," a man with silver hair said.

"Hai, hai. I still don't see why Orochimaru-sama wants this fucking Uchiha brat anyway," Tayuya said.

"Orochimaru-sama has his reasons. All we need to worry about is completing the mission," the silver haired man said.


Meanwhile...

Sasuke was sitting in a tree outside the Uchiha Compound, looking at the stars. He was remembering what Itachi had told him before he left.

Furasshubakku no Jutsu...

"Otouto," Itachi said.

"Hai, Itachi-nii?" Sasuke said.

"My mission is almost at its end. I'll be seeing you again soon," Itachi told him.

"Good, I can't wait," Sasuke said, smiling. Itachi just smiled back.

Furasshubakku Kai...

"See you soon Itachi-nii," Sasuke thought. He felt a presence behind him. He turned around to see four figures.

"Is this him?" Tayuya asked.

"Hai, it is," the silver haired one said.

"You got to be fucking kidding me, Sakon. He looks like a wimp," Tayuya said.

"Tayuya, please!" the fat guy pleaded.

"Fuck you Jirobo," Tayuya said.

"Who are you and why are you here?" Sasuke asked, getting into a battle stance.

"We have come to take you to Orochimaru-sama," Sakon said.

"Thanks, but no thanks. I'm not going to that hebi freak," Sasuke said.

"I didn't want to do this," Sakon said, appearing behind Sasuke. "But, apparently force is the only option." Sakon chopped Sasuke in his neck, knocking him out.

"Come on. Let's go," Sakon said, throwing Sasuke to the six-armed man.

"Why do I have to carry him?" the six-armed man asked.

"Because, Kidomaru, you can carry him easier than us. If we run into any trouble, you'll have extra arms to fight with,"Sakon said.

"I guess you're right," Kidomaru said.

"Can we fuckin leave already?" Tayuya asked.

"Hai, lets go," Sakon said as they all left.


Later that morning...

Sakura was speeding toward the Hokage Tower. She had just found out that Sasuke had disappeared. She had searched everywhere that she thought he would be. When she reached the door, she ran in without the Chunin's say so.

"What do you think you're doing? Barging in like taht," Tsunade said angrily.

"Gomen Tsunade-sama, but Sasuke-kun is missing!" Sakura said frantically.

"What?! How long?" Tsunade asked.

"I'm not sure, but he wasn't at any of his normal spots," Sakura said. Tsunade nodded.

"ANBU!" Tsunade yelled.

"Hai, Hokage-sama?" An ANBU said as he appeared in front of her.

"Do we have any ANBU or Jounins available?" Tsunade asked.

"No, all of them are on missions," the ANBU said.

"Damn!" Tsunade said, slamming her fist into her desk, destroying it. "Get me Shikamaru Nara!"

"Right away Hokage-sama," the ANBU said before leaving.

After waiting for a little while, Shikamaru walked into the room. "You asked for me Tsunade-sama?" he asked lazily.

"Hai. I need you to gather a few members to take with you on a mission," Tsunade said.

"Mission?" Shikamaru said.

"Hai. Sometime this morning, Sasuke Uchiha disappeared. I need you to search for him," Tsunade told him.

"Troublesome. What if he left of his free will?" Shikamaru questioned.

"Then he will become a missing-nin," Tsunade answered.

"Very troublesome, but I'll do it(like I have a choice). I've got a pretty good idea who I'll bring," Shikamaru said. He started to leave.

"Good luck," Tsunade said. Shikamaru just waved.


Standing at the exit were seven people. They were; Shikamaru, Neji, Chouji, Kiba, Naruto, Ryu, and Sakura.

"Don't worry Sakura, we'll bring Sasuke back," Naruto said, giving Sakura a thumbs up.

"Arigatou Naruto. Be careful out there," Sakura said.

"I'll be fine," Naruto said. They then left.

"Okay, Neji will be at the front. Then me, Naruto, Ryu, Kiba, and finally Chouji," Shikamaru said as theystood in the trees. The others nodded in understanding. "Now, there is the possibility that Sasuke has went rogue, so we may have to fight him."

"Trust me, Sasuke couldn't have gone rogue," Naruto stated.

"I know it is very unlikely, but there is a small chance," Shikamaru said.

"I know," Naruto retorted as they continued onward.

Meanwhile...

The Sound Four were sitting in a clearing, resting. Sasuke was tied to a tree so that he couldn't escape. Another Oto ninja was sitting with them. He was dressed the same as the other four, but his shirt was open and showed his chest, a curse mark at the center. He also had white hair and two red dots on his forehead. He normally wouldn't be out, due to his sickness, but he was there just in case any more Konoha shinobi showed up.

"We don't have that much time left. We need to hurry and start the process," Sakon said.

"Hai. I will wake him and give hime the pills," the white haired boy said. He walked over to Sasuke and slapped him, waking him up.

"Wha...who the hell are you!?" Sasuke yelled.

"A servant of Orochimaru-sama. Now shut up and take these," the white haired one said, holding out the pills.

"No, I'm not doing anything for you!" Sasuke said, clamping his mouth shut.

"Kimimaro, he's too stubborn, you have to use force," Sakon told him.

"Open your mouth," Kimimaro demanded. Sasuke shook his head. A bone started coming out of Kimimaro's hand, forming a sharp point. He put it up against Sasuke's neck. Sasuke still didn't open his mouth. "Fine. If you can't breathe, you'll have to open your mouth eventually." Kimimaro put his hand over Sasuke's nose and broke it. Blood started to pour down Sasuke's face. After a minute, Sasuke opened his mouth to breathe and Kimimaro shoved the pills in his mouth. Sasuke couldn't help but swallow them. After a minute of nothing, Sasuke started cringing in pain

"Get him in the container, now!" Kimimaro shouted. Jirobo picked up Sasuke and threw him in the container, then the four of them stood at even intervals and formed the necessary handseals.

"Fuukoku Houin!" They all shouted. Dark energy rushed to the container, surrounding it. After it started to fade, they placed paper seals on it.

"We need to go, someone is coming," Kidomaru said.

"Okay, lets go," Kimimaro said.


"Naruto, Ryu, go after the white haired guy. I'll hold her off," Shikamaru said. Naruto and Ryu nodded before following Kimimaro.

Five minutes later...

"Stop!" Naruto yelled.

Kimimaro stopped in an open field with tall grass. Naruto and Ryu landed a couple of feet behind him, Naruto's demon features starting to show.

"Let Sasuke go!" Naruto growled.

"You'll have to fight me to get him," Kimimaro said.

"Fine, I'll take you down," Naruto said, forming the ram seal. "Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"

Hundreds of Narutos filled the area. They all charged at Kimimaro. Kimimaro pointed his fingers at the bunshins and bones started to shoot out. Naruto's bunshins started tto get mowed down rapidly.

Ryu appeared behind Kimimaro, katana crackling with electricity. "Ninpou: Kibatsu Ikazuchi!" Ryu said, slashing downward. A bone shield erupted from Kimimaro, blocking the attack. A bone came out of Kimimaro's shoulder and he swung it at Ryu. Ryu blocked with his katana, but was knocked backwards.

"You two cannot hope to defeat me," Kimimaro said. Another bone came form his other shoulder, giving him two bone swords.

"Oh yeah?" Naruto growled as red chakra flared around him.

"Naruto's emotions are getting out of control. If he doesn't calm down soon, he may lose control," Ryu thought as Naruto rushed Kimimaro.

"Tsubaki no Mai!" Kimimaro yelled. He started jabbing his bones at Naruto. Naruto was able to dodge some of the jabs, but was hit by the rest. He was knocked backwards, cuts and lacerations visible all over him. Ryu came in once again with his katana, but was knocked away again.

"Damn, he's too strong. Guess it's time to use Setsutako sensei's style," Ryu said to himself. He pulled out a scroll and summoned two more katanas. He placed one in his mouth and the other in his other hand(1). He ran toward Kimimaro. Kimimaro jabbed a bone at him, but Ryu blocked with a katana and slashed at Kimimaro with the other two. Bones erupted from Kimimaro's chest and blocked the katanas.

"Ah, the Yottsu Hyakutai style. But it looks like you only know how to do three...how did you learn it?" Kimimaro asked, slightly interested.

"Setsutako-sensei, one of the Kiri no Shinobigatana Nananin Shū, taught it to me," Ryu answered. He slid the katana that was blocking the bone sword, trying to slash Kimimaro again. He was able to cut him slightly before another bone stopped it.

"Hmm, it's been a while since someone injured me. Now, you will die," Kimimaro said. He jumped backwards, tossing the swords away. He then reached to his back and pulled out his backbone, forming a chain-like whip. "Tessenka no Mai: Tsuru!"

Kimimaro started to spin the whip around, then he swung it toward Ryu. Ryu dodged before the bone slammed into the ground where he had been standing, throwing up earth. Before Ryu could land, the bone whip shot at him again. He was able to bring up one of his katana in time to take the brunt of the attack. However, Ryu was threw backwards, crashing into the ground. Ryu tried to stand, but fell back down.

"Damn, I think my leg's broken," Ryu thought as Kimimaro started to swing his whip again.

"It's time for you to die!" Kimimaro said. He swung his whip at Ryu. Ryu could only watch as the bone sped toward him.

"Suna no Tate!" Someone said. Sand shot in front of Ryu, blocking the bone.

Ryu looked to see who it was. "Gaara?"

"Hello Uzumaki," Gaara said. He looked to the side and saw Naruto on the ground. "Make sure Naruto is all right, then rest. I'll take care of him."

"Hai," Ryu said. He limped over to Naruto, using his katanas as support.

"I guess you will be the one to die instead," Kimimaro said, the curse seal starting to spread, making lines on his body. He raised his hands and started shooting bone bullets at Gaara. Gaara stood there as the bones got closer and closer. Kimimaro was surprised to see the sand jump in front of Gaara and block the bones.

"My turn," Gaara said, raising his hand. Sand shot at Kimimaro, forcing him to jump backwards. He knocked the sand away with his bone whip.

"I can't dodge forever," Kimimaro thought. He started to let the curse seal spread more. After going CSL2, Kimimaro now had brown colored skin with black marks under his eyes. His hair had turned gray and he had bone spikes coming out of his back.

Sand started to surround him, but he swung his bone whip around and knocked the sand away. He spun the bone whip around his arm. "Tessenka no Mai: Hana!" The bone whip and the bones in his arm formed a spiral spear around his left arm. He charged at Gaara.

"Saikō Zettai Bōgyo: Shukaku no Tate!" Gaara said. A miniature fat Shukaku with a hat and red markings appeared in front of Gaara. Kimimaro slammed his spear into the Shukaku, but barely damaged it at all.

"Now," Gaara said, forming handseals as sand poured form his gourd. "Ryūsa Bakuryū!" The sand swept Kimimaro away, covering him. Sand platforms raised Gaara, Ryu, Naruto, and the container holding Sasuke above the sand. "Sabaku Taisō!" Gaara said. All the sand on the ground compressed with a shockwave.

"Is he gone?" Ryu asked after a few minutes.

"I'm not sure, but if he isn't, I'm pretty much out of chakra," Gaara answered weakly. Suddenly, a forest of bones shot up. They heard a voice say, "Sawarabi no Mai!"

They looked around, but couldn't see anything but bones. They heard a bone crack and they spun around to see Kimimaro coming down on Gaara, his spear aimed to kill. Then, oddly, Kimimaro froze, staring into Gaara's wide eyes. Kimimaro coughed up blood, then went limp. The bone forest started to disappear. Finally, the only thing that was left was Kimimaro lying on the ground, back to his normal form.

"You beat him," Ryu said to Gaara. Gaara only nodded.


A week later, Konoha...

A week had passed since Sasuke had been brought back. Neji and Chouji had almost died, but through the combined efforts of Tsunade, Shizune, and the medics, they had been saved. They were off duty until Tsunade decided to let them get back to missions. Kiba and Akamaru were injured a good bit, but they weren't as bad as Neji and Chouji's. They wouldn't return to duty for a few weeks. Shikamaru had a broken finger, but was easily healed. Ryu and Naruto were sitting in a hospital room. Naruto still had a couple of cuts, but was otherwise unhurt. Ryu, however, was letting his broken leg recover. They were now speaking with Sasuke.

"The containment seal Kakashi-sensei had placed on me was weakened considerably," Sasuke said.

"Is that bad?" Naruto asked.

"Not really. I just have to control it more. Tsunade-sama has forbidden me from using it unless I absolutely have to," Sasuke answered.

"Well, maybe we'll figure out a way to fix it or remove it," Naruto said.

"Maybe," Sasuke said. There was a knock on the door. Sasuke told the person to come in. Sakura walked in.

"Time for your final check up," Sakura said.

"Wait, why are you doing it?" Naruto asked.

"Hinata didn't tell you?" Sakura asked. Naruto shook his head. "Me and her are going to be trained by Tsunade-sama!"

"Really? That's good," Naruto said.

"Come on Naruto, let's leave. We have to go meet tou-san about something," Ryu said.

"Okay. See you guys later," Naruto said. Sasuke and Sakura said goodbye and they left.


Ryu's apartment...

"So tou-san, what's this about?" Ryu asked Tsuyoi.

"You and Naruto are going on a 3-year training trip," Tsuyoi said.

"What? Why? With who?" Naruto asked.

"You are going with Jiraiya-sama, mainly to make you stronger," Tsuyoi answered.

"Cool!" Naruto yelled. He and Ryu started to pack things.

Jiraiya appeared next to Tsuyoi. "You didn't tell them, did you?"

"No. They don't need to worry about that right now. Just make sure you protect them, okay?" Tsuyoi said.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure nothing happens to them," Jiraiya said.


East Gate....

"Goodbye Hinata-chan. I'll be back before you know it," Naruto said, holding a crying Hinata.

"Y-you'll write, won't you?" Hinata asked, sniffling.

"Hai, everyday," Naruto said.

Jiraiya, Ryu, Sasuke, and Sakura were watching them.

"All right gaki, it's time to go," Jiraiya said.

"Okay," Naruto said, following Jiraiya and Ryu to the gate. He turned around and looked at his girlfriend and teammates. "See you guys in 3 years I guess," he said, rubbing the back of his head.

"Hai, see you later Naruto," Sasuke said. Naruto smiled at the three, then he, Jiraiya, and Ryu left the village...

A/N: Wow...the conclusion to last chapter, the Sasuke Retrieval, and Naruto and Ryu leaving the village for three years. That's a lot to put in one chapter, but I figured it wouldn't be that bad. Anyway, if you hadn't noticed already, Ryu is a Jinchuuriki. I'll reveal next chapter of which Biju he has. Also, I hadn't originally planned on killing Setsutako until later, but then I thought: How could I reveal Ryu being a Jinchuuriki? So, that's what led to that outcome. Then, I figured I still needed a way for Sasuke to get CSL2(the reason will be revealed later on), so kidnapping came to mind, along with the part about Kimimaro. Finally, since Ryu is a Jinchuuriki, I decided to make Ryu go on Jiraiya and Naruto's training trip, so that Jiraiya protects both Naruto and Ryu by training them to fight against the Akatsuki. Well, I've bored you enough with my explanations. So, until then, this is FFD signin out!

Ja ne!
