"Danzo, you know and I know that you have experienced betrayal. In fact the betrayal that happened today all those years ago created who you are today. You have become this cold, dead, decayed, and most likely deranged person. I see through all of it and see a spoiled, heart broken boy in you that is still grieving over the fact that you weren't chosen."
Danzo almost lost it right there. He barely held on to his composure. He said, "Words coming from the so called peaceful Hokage. You know and I know that Konoha is a facade of the ugliness that is the shinobi world. It should have been burn to the ground. Yet here we are thinking that Konoha is the best. If it wasn't for my ninjas, Konoha would have been dust by now."
Sarutobi knew he won but sometimes it he question if it is worth it. He said, "Danzo, just shut up. You unfortunately incriminated yourself. Now I'm going to tell you some facts. The first is that ANBU have been investigating your secondary bases that lead to your main base. We have found all your loose ties such as the maiden of the orphanage all the way to the list of missing kids from the Kyuubi attack. We even found the file on the plans for Naruto.
It is over Danzo. I gave you a way out by letting you confess personally but you decided to lie to me. Everything will be out in the open. Everyone will see the facade that is Danzo Homura."
Danzo tried to say something but Hiruzen stopped him in his tracks. He said, "Danzo, I'm giving you five seconds to leave Konoha and all of its inhabitants or I will KILL YOU!"

During the night Lava Lord Ozai was alone in his throne room. He made sure no one was around. He then did a few hand signs and said, "Kushiyoshi no Jutsu". As he said it a blue mystical ball appeared. Inside the orb was the Master. The Master asked, "What is it, Ozai?"
Ozai smirked as he said, "The Chosen One is here."
Chapter Nine: The Volcano Erupts
"No, not like this I don't want to die. Please spare my life and I will tell you anything you want. I beg of you." The man with blonde hair and a mask on looked at him impassively.
He said, "Your information is just a desperate way for me to spare your feeble life. Then after you leave you will leave and join the group looking for me. Too bad for you, I don't really care about your fake information. Once you raped that poor woman and forced her to do such disgraceful, and humiliated acts your life was stamped for death. Goodbye Hiyoto"
With one full swoop of Hiyoto's abandon sword, the man cut off Hiyoto's head. Hiyoto's head rolled on the floor. The masked blonde haired man put the sword in the man's neck. He potted the sword in the square in the middle of the city. The man sighed as he changed to original form. Naruto sighed as he slumped down. He clicked his ear piece and said, "Done, the mission is completed. I'm coming back in a few seconds. "
Naruto clicked off and started to limp his way back. As he walked away bodies started to drop to the ground. As Naruto walked to his base he barely made it. He walked in and saw that the others were waiting for him. He said, "Ok, it's done."
Kushimaru asked, "How was it?"
Naruto said, "Kushimaru-sensei, they were getting harder to defeat. Hiyoto was surprisingly the easiest one to defeat. It seems like these 'benders' are able to use their chakra in their hands and arms to force the elements out of them. It looks pretty dangerous as it starts to destroy the chakra points.
Yet the stronger the person's chakra the more powerful their fire is.
They are insanely powerful in that instance but other wise they are weak. The rebel alliance can take them out. Now on the openings are on the left and the back."
Kushimaru nodded. He said, "Naruto, what else do you know? What is your next plan of action?" Naruto had to think about it.
He said, "Well as you know I have school. I have found that there is a secret passage from the principle's office that leads to the Throne Room. I used the eye patch to track it. We could use it to actually get the rebels in the attack room. The question is when?"
Kushimaru said, "Great job Naruto-kun. I want you to keep the student facade up. We will contact you as to when the rebellion will occur. I see you are committed to setting these people free. You will be great ninja one day."
Naruto did a salute as he said, "Thank you, Kushimaru-sensei." Out of thin air, Naruto disappeared into the night. Kushimaru on the other hand turned around and saw the rebel leaders wanting to talk.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX Morning XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto woke up noticing that he was in the arms of Azula. He sighed. This happens almost every night. She has constant nightmares of her being a tyrant. She cuddles up with Naruto to make the horrible nightmares go away. At first Naruto was slightly creeped out but Naruto is used to it now.
He wondered to himself, 'I wonder how much is she going to hate me after all of this is said and done?' He sighed as he didn't want to hurt her as she has such a fragile mind. He often wondered if it would be better just to 'kidnap' her and do what he has to do.
He remembered today is March 15 and it is Miss Azula's thirteenth birthday. She was absolutely gush about it for the last ten days.
Zuko walked into Naruto's room to talk to Naruto about an exams. That was when he saw Naruto cuddling up into Azula. She just so happened to moan something incoherent. Naruto said a string of curses. He knew he had to 'play' as Zuko's equal. He saw a fire ball coming directly at him.
It was a weak one considering that Naruto could blow a whole building into flames. Yet even if it is weak, Naruto knew he was going to take the hit or 'The Prodigy' will wake up. Then all hell would break loose. He much rather have a burn than electricity and fire course through his body.
He just closed his eyes and anticipated the hit. Fortunately or unfortunately Azula woke up. She saw the fire ball come and charged an electric beam at the fire ball and at Zuko. The electric beam sent Zuko through the door. Naruto's eyes went wide as he saw Zuko went out the door. Azula saw that she cuddled Naruto. She nearly freaked out.
Naruto rolled his eyes as he got ready for a nice little shock. She sent electricity through Naruto's body. Naruto was getting zapped and started twitching. As Naruto started to smoke he passed out. Azula had a big smile as she cuddle deeper into Naruto. She said, "Goodnight Bear-kun"
XXXXXXXXXXXXX A Few Hours Later XXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto was woken up by a guard. The guard said, "Brat, wake up! It is time for class and you will not be late, again." Of course Naruto felt the shocks of Azula pass through him. He winced a bit as he got up. He put on his mask.
He put on this big mask and said, "Oi, come on. Can a man get a good five minutes to sleep. Oh well. Can I at least take a shower first? Sheesh, just because you smell doesn't mean I don't want to smell like you."
The guard was angry because Naruto kept gunning him for something. He wanted to hit him but he couldn't as he was a 'friend' to Azula and Zuko. He was mumbling something that Naruto heard but didn't say anything. The guard left leaving Naruto to himself.
He sighed in relief as the guard was gone. He then heard a noise from his ear piece. He clicked it to hear, "The Volcano erupts tonight". Naruto said blankly, "Hai". He sighed as he started to take his shower. His thoughts were running amok in his mind. He thought about how everything changed since the last two years. The rebels started to rise. The Seven Swordsman started to get involved because he was a curious bastard.
He cried in the shower as he two friends that were like brother and and sister/cuddle buddy were going to change forever. He already knew that Azula was possibly psychotic but Naruto has been a stress reliever as she cuddle up to him and they went away. This however will probably break her.
He had to justify it somehow. He thought, " is the sacrifice of two worth the sacrifice of thousands?" Naruto wiped the tears as the rain fell on his face. He was indifferent about killing. The biggest problem for him is how the deaths will affect the people he likes. He got out of the shower and had a blank look on his face. He pulled out his kunai and jammed it into the picture of Lava Lord Ozai's face.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Konoha XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The last two years have become an overhaul in the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Right now class was about to begin in the revamp edition of the Academy. Iruka Umino, former ANBU Captain has taken over as the teacher. Coincidentally his class consisted of the Shinobi heirs and heiresses.
He said, "Hello class I'm Iruka Umino and I am your new and permanent teacher as long as you are in the Academy. You guys have passed the other exams to make it here. As you know most of your other classmates either have failed or does not have enough chakra to make it to this class. So be proud that you made it.
Now we will start class by having an introduction of who you are, what are you training to be, what do you think your strengths are, what do you think your weaknesses are, and how do you think you can fix it. By now you should know most of that stuff. We are starting in alphabetical order. So Shino Aburame we're starting with you. Begin.
Shino got up and went towards the front of the class. Shino is of average nine year old height. He has an afro-like brown hair. He has pale white skin with his eyes being covered by his hunter green rimmed like sunglasses. He has a tannish brown overall trench coat. He has three kunai pouches on it.
He said, "Hello I am Shino Aburame. I am a bug user. I am training to track people and other things. My strengths are the ability to use bugs in battle and taijutsu. My weaknesses are water and fire type Ninjutsus. I am still analyzing how to beat that."
Iruka nodded. He thought about how different Aburames learn to overcome it. He looked on the paper and said, "Chouji Akimichi your next."
Chouji Akimichi was slightly taller than Shino. He is heavier than everyone in his class. He has two small brown ponytails on each side of his head. He has two spirals on each side of his cheeks. His eyes were squinted. He was wearing green and brown shirts and pants on. He currently has a bag of chips in his hands.
He said, "Hi, *munch* I'm Chouji Akimichi. I am a capture and secure type of ninja. My strengths include expanding my body and herbs. My weaknesses are speed and genjutsu. I have been working on my speed and training my alertness."
Iruka thought, 'Hmm I can work on that."He said, "Ok, Chouji we will work on that. I will teach you how to work on your alertness. Next is Hinata Hyuga"
Hinata Hyuga got up. She is about an inch or two smaller than an average nine year old. She has midnight blue hair that is in a hime cut. She has a heart shape face with violet pupil-less eyes. She has a white coat that has the Hyuga symbol; the Yin Yang symbol. She has a white robe on with her name on it. The girl is one of the strongest students in the academy.
She smirked as she walked up there. She said, "Hello gentlemen or should I say gentle men. I'm the reigning queen of this class Hinata Hyuga. I'm a tracker, fighter, and medic. I specialize in Juken and medicine. My weakness is my size then again I can make that an advantage. What I'm working on is my refining my diplomatic abilities."
Iruka blinked as he knew Hinata was a little eccentric. He knew he was going to talk to her about it. Or then again this might be the confidence that his class needs. He said, "Ok, next is Kiba Inuzuka."
Kiba came up the stage. He is an inch shorter than Shino. He has brown hair. His face is an oval shape with dark brown eyes. On his face, he has a small red triangle. He has a brown coat with fur on the hood. He was extremely rowdy.
He said, "Yo, I am Kiba Inuzuka. I am tracker and fighter. My specialty is sniffing out the enemies. My biggest problem is the sense of time. I'm working on getting my red triangles longer so I can get my dog."
Iruka nodded. The boy from what other teachers told him he was always late for class. He will help him by either a failing him or bring him to class himself. He said, "Ok Kiba thank you for you introduction. Next is Shikamaru Nara."
Shikamaru Nara got up and went to the front of the stage. He was of average nine year old height. He as a pointy face with black eyes. He has black hair that is pulled back into a spiky ponytail. His has on a grey shirt and pants that have the Nara Clan symbol on it.
He yawned as he stood in front of the class. He said, "Troublesome, I'm Shikamaru Nara. I'm strategist, capture, and long range fighter. My specialty consists of the use shadows. My weakness is my troublesome lack of stamina. I'm fixing it by doing troublesome exercise. Troublesome."
Iruka saw Shika go back to sleep on his desk. From what he has heard Shika is the genius in this group. The reason that Shika barely passes instead of being on the top is because he doesn't try. Not even a little bit. He has done enough to just pass because he considered school "troublesome". Iruka thought to himself darkly that he will fix Shika's problem.
He said, "Ok, Shikamaru. We will fix that problem. Don't worry. Ok the last one is Sasuke Uchiha."
The moment Iruka said his name Sasuke was up. He is the same height as Shikamaru. He has midnight blue hair that is pinned up as a duck's tail. He has a pointed face with jet black onyx eyes. He is wearing a light blue shirt and white shorts with the Uchiha Clan's symbol on the back. With each step he became more and more arrogant.
He said "Hn, the name is Sasuke Uchiha. I am an avenger, fighter, and ninjutsu genius. My specialty is Katon Jutsu. My weakness is a secret. Why would I tell the people beneath me my weakness. What am I working on is simple. I'm going to kill my brother."
Iruka's eyes widened a little. This kid wants to kill his former captain. He knew that would be a long shot for him to win. He has acid coming into his stomach from Sasuke's quest of being an avenger. Avengers create so much hate in the world as their conquest can involve innocents. He was going to talk to the Hokage about Sasuke.
He said "Ok class I will be teaching you how to..."
XXXXXXXXXXXXX Lava Lord Ozai XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
He was relaxing in his throne chair. He is waiting for instructions from the Master about Naruto. He has seen more and more of his guards killed yet not a single person has seen what he or she looks like. He has started to become suspicious of the men with Naruto. Unfortunately for him he can't prove it as they have been under surveillance for most almost all of the time. The populace has deep tension going on.
He is by any stretch of the imagination stupid. So this means that something isn't right. He will find out what it is. In the mean time he has a party to celebrate. After all his daughter is becoming a teenager. He got up with his ceremonial clothing to and started to walk to the school. What he did not know is underneath him, the rebels were planning their assault.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Azula XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The school has been nothing but a big party. Naruto was laughing it up with Azula and her girlfriends. The first was Ty Lee. Ty Lee is of average height. She has brown hair that was in a ponytail. Her eyes were golden. She has a heart shaped face with brown hair. She has a gymnastic shaped body. She is always seen smiling.
Ty Lee was kind of the new girl who started the academy with Naruto. Naruto immediately befriended her. Due to Naruto's relationship with Azula, they became great friends. However Ty Lee's relationship with Naruto became strained when Azula became a little 'envious' when he put his arm around her neck. Of course Naruto was oblivious as to what he had done because as most men know you can't understand women no matter what age.
Her other friend was Mai. Mai is of average height. She has black hair in a hime cut. Her face was a bit pointy. Her eyes are a dark grey. She has one of the few royal lava robes. It was red, black and gold with the Land of Lava symbol on her back.
Mai was extremely bored. She has known Azula for eight years. Her father is the advisor to Ozai. She has been given everything from her parents by the use of bribery. All she had to do was be quiet and emotionless and she received whatever she wanted. Her mask became cracked by the two boys Naruto and Zuko. She has developed a small crush on Zuko. He is the only person that could make her turn pink.
Naruto said, "Hey Mai-chan and Ty-chan. How have you been?" Mai rolled her eyes as Naruto knows that he should never call her that. Ty on the other hand blushed. Mai pulled a small knife and threw it at Naruto. Naruto dodge it. He exclaimed, "Mai-chan, why are you being a meanie. Is it because your Zuko-chan isn't here?"
She blushed a little pink as she started to throw more knives. Naruto started to jump and dodge them. As Naruto's mask was in check, his inner side is in chaos. He knew that there was a big chance that they will become prisoners of war. It depresses the Naruto as he has been put in a hard place.
As a result he promises his himself he will have as much fun with them as possible. He jumped back into Mai's face and said, "Come on Mai-chan I thought you were a much better thrower than that. Maybe Zuko-chan not being here has caused poor Mai-chan to be off on her throwing."
She turned red for the first time in a long time. She ran after Naruto saying words that would make a Sound kunoichi blush. Naruto kept running as Azula had her smirk on her face. Ty Lee was laughing her ass off. Naruto was able to out run Mai and get back to the other two. The two are surprised to see Naruto was holding his side wincing.
Naruto saw they're look and did a sheepish laugh as he tried to hide the pain. His became wide as he saw Zuko. Zuko was bandaged up with only one hand free. He had a smirk on his face as he said, "Burn"
A fire ball came out at Naruto. Naruto said the mother of all curses, "Fuck". Before it could hit the war bells went off. Naruto recognized it and sighed. He caught the fireball with ease and dissipated it. His eyes changed from soft and happy to hardened and cold. He said, "You guys are going to have to do better than that if you want to defeat me and the rebels."
As soon as he had said this, he changed forms from the Naruto they knew to the blond haired menace that has killed their guards. Naruto got into one the ninja stances and said, "Let's rock".
Author's Note: Hey guys sorry it took a little longer to come out. Haven't been feeling well with the addition of not knowing how I wanted this chapter to go. Next chapter will have fun. Naruto verses those three. Then either the chapter after or that chapter Naruto verses Lava Lord Ozai. That will be interesting. I already have the scene flowing through my head.
Now before anyone asks about Sakura and Ino. They will appear later. Now as to any questions you have P.M. me.
Next Time on the Legend Swordsman of Konoha: Betrayal; the Lava thickens.
Now Ja for now
