You Will Not Hurt My Kit!

Chapter 9

Kya sat on the couch in the living room of the compound. 'What did Mandara mean last night?' she thought as she remembered the previous night. The image of Mandara turning his head back to face her, telling her to protect Naruto wouldn't leave. 'Of course I'll protect him. I would even if he wasn't my Jinchuuriki!'

"Bah!" she said as she rose and left the living room. 'I'll go crazy if I keep thinking about this.' She went to the backyard and formed several clones. "The best way to get this off my mind is with a good work out," she said to herself. The clones formed a circle around her before charging one at a time. She defeated the first clone without any difficulty, but the second one managed to scratch her with a kunai knife across the cheek.

"I'm out of shape," Kya said with a sigh as her healing abilities healed the scratch in seconds. She decided to give herself more of a challenge, instead of using hey eyes she closed them and decided to rely on her hearing. Her clones caught on to the idea and tried to attack as silently as possible. After a few more minutes, Kya stood alone smirking with a victorious face. She defeated her clones with only a few lucky hits getting through.

She summoned several more clones and repeated the process using her other senses. The most difficult one was her sense of touch, but she was able to over come her opponents. She was about to start the same exercise over, but with double the amount of clones. However, she picked up a new scent entering the visinity.

"Can I hope you?" she asked as the Hokage landed a few yards behind her.

"Yes, I actually came to talk about your Jinchuuriki," Sarutobi said. As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt a kunai knife touch his neck, and intense killer intent coming from behind him. The Hokage's eyes went wide as he realised that in an instant the Kyuubi got behind him and had him in a death hold.

"That's thin ground your walking on," Kya said. "Be careful with what you say," she said as she released the old man.

"Yes, well, what I meant is I was wondering if Naruto was in any danger," the Hokage said as he rubbed his neck where the knife was just a moment ago.

"No, he's fine, but if anyone would even dare to try," Kya said as she finished he statement by throwing her knife at a tree. Upon contact, a giant hole tore through the tree as the knife went straight through it.

"I see, well then, do you know who that was last night?" the Hokage asked.

'This is going to be a long day,' Kya thought. 'I hope yours is going better kit.' "Come on, lets get somthing to drink," Kya said as she began to walk back inside the large house. The Hokage followed silently.

Naruto was placed on a team with Sasuke and Sakura, their objective was simple, all they had to do was capture the flag that belong to Hinata, Kiba, and Shino. They were located on training ground one, used for school training. They were currently hiding in some bushes, using short range communicators to keep in contact. Each one of them was at least thirty yards away from each other.

Kiba was standing near his team's flag, with Akamaru laying on his head trying to smell Naruto and his team. Shino was standing on a tree branch and was using his bugs to try and find them as well. Hinata stood the closest to their flag as she used her byakugan to find their opponants.

Shino and Akamaru were having difficulties because Sakura had manage to find some herbs that helpped cover their sent, so their only threat was Hinata's byakugan. Hinata formd a hand sign to focus her chakra.

'I have to find them, hopefully by increasing my range I can locate them,' Hinata thought to herself. Slowly the range of her byakugan started to increase. 'This is harder than i thought.'

"Sasuke, do you see an opening?" Naruto asked Sasuke through the comlink.

"No, I don't," Sasuke replied after a few moments. "How about you Sakura, do you see an opening?"

"No," Sakura said regretfully. The training ground fell into an erie silence for a few moments.

"I guess I'll have to make an opening then," Naruto said. Before any of his team mates could protest, Naruto threw several smoke bombs towards Hinata.

"What the?" Kiba said as he, Shino, and Hinata were covered in a thick layer of smoke. Hinata could still see perfectly as the smoke did nothing to mask a person's chakra. Shino remained silent as his emotionless face was slowly masked by smoke.

"Ok, I'm going in, Sasuke, nack me up, Sakura, go get their flag while we distract them," Naruto said into the comlink.

"Right," Sasuke and Sakura said at the same time. Naruto burst from his hiding spot, using the smoke he created to hide his approach. Seconds later, Sasuke followed Naruto's example.

Within seconds naruto's fist make contact with Kiba's nose, while Sasuke's kick made contact with Shino's back. Sakura carefully made her way behind Hinata, However, unfortunatly for her, Hinata knew exactly where she was. Before Sakura could grab the flag, Hinata spun around creating a feild of chakra that kept her away.

"You won't get the flag that easily!" Hinata exclaimed. Sakura had to jump back in order to avoid getting struck with Hinata's attack.

"Drat, Sakura got caught," Naruto said as he avoided a punch from Kiba. Naruto formed a series of hand signs and built up chakra. "Water shurriken jutsu!" he said as he threw the water shurriken towards Kiba. Kiba had to jump out of the way to avoid the attack. Naruto used this as an oppertunity to go and help Sakura.

Sasuke was busy using his firball technique to burn the bugs that Shino was sending towards him. After the third wave, Sasuke was gasping for breath. Shino was tired as well. Sasuke threw a kunai knife at Shino who used his bugs to stop it in the air.

"So basically, all that drama over here last night was pointless?" The Hokage asked the Kyuubi in her human form as he drank some tea.

"Pretty much. But what was with all the bloodshed from the Uchiha Compound?" Kya asked. Sarutobi raised an eye brow.

"How did you know about that?"

"Why do you think I was on the roof tops last night, I couldn't get away from the smell of blood, it was everywhere," Kya stated.

"It was an Uchiha Cival War, several members of the clan were planning on over throwing the village, but luckily a portion of the clan was loyal to the village and tried to stop them," the Hokage explained.

Kya's eyes winced. "Uchihas and bloodshed, why do the two fit together so well?" she thought out loud. Sarutobi agreed with a light chuckle.

"Your guess is as good as mine," he said. "On another note, Naruto has been doing very well at the academy, and..." he started.

"I already know that," Kya interupted him.

"So Naruto has been telling you all about it?"

"Yes, but I already know because I can see through his eyes at all times, I am still sealed inside after all," Kya said as she went to take another sip of tea.

"Is there any way to release you from the seal without killing Naruto?"

"There is, but I'm not going to tell him how, at least not for a while."

"Why not?"

"As long as I'm sealed inside him, I can protect him and train him, I can be his eyes when he cannot see and be his ears when he cannot hear."

"I understand," the Hokage said as he set his now empty glass down. Kya refilled his cup as well as her own. "So what exactly will happen when Naruto becomes Kyuubi?"

"I go back to the life I used to live, a member of the Whirlpool Village," Kya said with a smile.

"But, the Whirlpool Village was destroyed years ago," the Hokage said with a bit of sadness in his voice.

"What!?" Kya exclaimed.

"A few days after Naruto was born, and Kushina died, we sent a messanger to the Whirlpool Village to let them know of Kushina's fate," Sarutobi started.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ok team, we're almost there," a girl in her late teens said. She had blonde hair and wore a chunnin vest. Next to her was Kakashi on one side, and Gai on the other side. They were jumping through trees in order to get to their destination faster.

"Right, all we have to do is deliver the message to the Kage of the Whirlpool Village and we can be on our way, and you did remember to bring the message this time, right Rin?" Kakashi asked.

"Of course I did!" Rin replied.

"Great! then let the flames of our youth burn our path to the village!" Guy said.

"You go have fun with that Guy, just leave me out of it," Rin said. Kakashi laughed at this, somthing that was rare for him to do at the time. Ahead of Minato's old students Guy stopped dead in his tracks, a look of awe on his face. Kakashi and Rin joined Guy as he stood motionlessly. Rin cupped her mouth with her hands in shock and Kakashi's one eye shot open. If it were possible to see the rest of his face, a look of terror with be seen.

A few kilometers ahead of them stood the remnants of the Village Hidden in the Whirlpools. The giant walls that were meant to protect the village were crumbling under the pressure caused by giant rock formations that seemed to have rose from the ground just to smash the sides of the wall. The rivers and lakes that usually had formations of whirlpools were now barren and dry.

The village itself was burned in several places, torn apart, crushed, and soaked to the point of callapes in other parts. There were signs of blood shed and fighting all over the area, but no signs of the bodies or of any survivors.

"Quickly! Search for any survivors!" Kakashi said as he dashed towards the ruins as fast as he could.

"Right!" Rin and Guy said as they followed their team mate.

After hours of searching through the village, they turned buildings over, searched everywhere, and even searched the surrounding area for any signs of life. They all returned empty handed and with horrified faces.

"What could have possibly happened here?" Rin asked.

"Either a very unlikely series of unfortunate events, or an army of nature manipulation experts," Kakashi said.

"We should get back to get back to Konoha and inform Lord Hokage immediatly!" Gai exclaimed. His team mates silently agreed and together the team left back to their own village, all of them trying to erase the image of the ghost village behind them.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kya sat in her seat, a horrified expression on her face. The Hokage noticed her expression. "I'm so sorry to have to tell you this, even worse now that it's been so long," he started.

"No, it's...ok," Kya managed to say before tears came to her eyes. 'How? How could the village just be destroyed? How could there be no survivors? It's impossible,' she thought to herself. "Do you have any ideas as to who might have commitied such an atrosity?"

"We thought it could have been Orochimaru at first, but even he doesen't have that much power," the Hokage said.

'Could it really be one of them? No, it couldn't be, they all died off a long time ago, and even if they didn't, they swore allegince to the Bijuu. They couldn't possibly cause such destruction on a large scale unless a bijuu or Jinchuuriki was endangered, but none was, so it couldn't be one of them,' Kya thought to herself.

"Are you alright?" Sarutobi asked.

"I just need some time, to let this sink in," Kya replied.

"I understand," the Hokage said as he stood up and left.

"At least you managed to get out in time to have Naruto, my sweet grand daughter," Kya said as she picked up an old picture frame of Minato and Kushina.
