For the results of the voting, Anko is leading the way while the others are really far behind. Sorry if I didn't count it. It's just too troublesome. For the future pairings, maybe I can manage having NaruAnko but for sure there will be NaruHina. Sorry for those who are against it but it looks so unnatural for me to not to pair Hinata with Naruto. Just bear with me okay. Here's my tenth chapter.

Chapter 10: The Red Moon

Seven year old Uzumaki Naruto woke up finding himself in a dark sewer with rusty pipes and walls and water reaching up to his ankles. This place is familiar, far too familiar. Yep this is his own mindscape, its condition not in its very best because of the treatment he received in Konoha. But he knows it will be fixed someday and the renovation will start now for he already left that hell of a village. In this the same place is the prison holding the greatest Titan warrior in history, Sargeras.

'So I'm in here again. Might as well find Sargeras to ask a few questions' he thought as he walked through the darkness. He's not afraid anymore of darkness because for one, he got used to it and two the dark titan thought him to control the said element. A few minutes of walking, he finally arrived at the end of the sewer. In front of him is a cage with a paper sticking on it. The kanji for seal is written on the paper. This cage is Sargeras' prison.

Suddenly a pair of fiery crimson eyes came out of the darkness inside the cage and then the entire form of the demon appeared.

"You are here now. I was wondering when you will be coming" Sargeras spoke to Naruto.

"Well I want to ask you some questions" the boy said.

"Go ahead child."

"You have any idea of what is happening now outside?"

"No. I can only see, hear, smell and feel the outside world when you see, hear, smell and feel it. Next question."

"We are outside of Konoha now because you know the recent incident. So what will happen now?"

"Well of course you will continue your training under my and probably Uchiha Itachi's surveillance. Next."

"Do we need to go back to Konoha?"

"That's a pretty nice question child. Hmm well the answer to that will be given in due time meaning it depends on what will happen in the future. But I didn't that said we don't have to go back there. There's still a chance that you really have to go back. Next."

"Nothing more. So now that I used so much of your chakra, I guess I will be staying here for a week or so."

"No child, not for a week. Only for about three days since you devoured the souls of one third of the Uchiha clan. I already told you before that if you devour souls, the damage you will take from overusing my will be lessen."

"Is that so? Well I guess I will not be that bored afterall."

Meanwhile in the outside world:

Inside a dark cave in an unknown place, ten figures all wearing black cloaks with red clouds sewed on them surrounded the body of Uzumaki Naruto. One of them is Uchiha Itachi, the only survivor of the Uchiha clan massacre aside from his little brother, Uchiha Sasuke. One of the figures spoke.

"So this is the vessel that holds the demon that attacked Konoha seven years ago."

"Hai" Itachi responded.

"He looks well toned and strong. I bet he's been in training for a long time now" a feminine voice said.

"He surely is. In fact, he helped me in the Uchiha massacre" Itachi again responde. Everybody else inside the cave, except for Naruto of course, looked at him with unbelieving eyes.

"Are you sure he did?" asked one with a huge blade covered in bandages strapped on his back.

"Yes. He drew the demon's chakra out to help him but drew too much that's why he's unconscious right now."

"At such a young age he already killed so many and has so much power" said a figure, who have yellow slitted eyes and long silky hair, with a snake hiss.

"Zetsu, what did Kyuubi-sama said concerning this jinchuriki and his demon?" the first one figure asked the one whose head is inside of a Venus flytrap.

"He didn't have any information about the demon that attacked Konoha seven years ago. There wasn't any demon, aside from Shukaku, that is missing in their realm around that time. This means that the demon inside him," Zetsu said while pointing at Naruto, "is not under their rule."

"So what are we going to do with him?" Itachi asked.

"Kyuubi-sama said that we cannot extract the demon even if we want to because of the Death God's seal. He said that even he can't break the seal so he decided to recruit him for the organization. Having a demon vessel with us will be great benefit" Zetsu answered.

"So that includes training the boy so that he will be worthy to be with us. Hmm okay I will take him in" the first figure said making the others look at him in shock.

"No argumentations. I'm the assigned leader of this organization and the strongest among us so I'm the most suited to be his trainer and partner. Hoshigaki Kisame, your partner will now be Uchiha Itachi. The others' partners will not change. Orochimaru, you'll remain solo for your jobs."

"If that's the case then take these" Itachi said while handing over two scrolls.

"And what are these?"

"The big one is Scroll of the Forbidden Seals containing Konoha's high level techniques and the other is Naruto's family scroll containing his family's techniques and fighting style. We stole those before we left."

"Well, well, well. These are intriguing" the leader said as he took a look on the scrolls. He found the smaller one having a label.

"Kazama!" he read shocked. The others are shocked as well except for Itachi. Their reactions puzzled him.

"Why you all are shocked?" he asked.

"Its no wonder that you don't know since you still are very young. Kazama is the family name of Konoha's greatest hero, the Yellow Flash, the Yondaime Hokage. He is famed everywhere especially Iwagakure no sato since during the Great Shino War, he crippled Iwa's forces" answered the feminine voice. This made Itachi's eyes widen.

"So we have two of Konoha's most prestigious bloodlines eh? Consider ourselves lucky. This meeting is adjourned." And with that, the cave is left empty.

In Konoha:

Everyone is alarmed of the news that the Uchiha clan had been massacred there is only one survivor. The villagers blamed this on Naruto because on the week before the incident, he didn't show up in the academy. They said that during that time, he is preparing for his attack. Their suspicions became clearer when the ANBU found out that he is no longer in his home in the Forest of Death and the two most important scrolls are stolen in the Hokage Tower. The Sandaime Hokage arranged an emergency council meeting concerning this matter. When the council members were completed, Sandaime started the meeting.

"Well you all heard of the news so I guess I don't have to tell you that. What I'm going to tell you is that Uzumaki Naruto is not the one who did it" the old man said. This angered the council.

"Lies! That can't be true! We have evidences that prove him guilty" one of them angrily shouted.

"Well I have a proof that will prove he's not. You see the only Uchiha survivor, Uchiha Sasuke, already woke up just this noon. He told us everything he knew. He said that the one who massacred his clan is his older brother, Uchiha Itachi" the Hokage explained calmly.

"That's impossible! It could be that demon in henge!" another council member shouted.

"He can't be Naruto. Sasuke said that Itachi used a Sharingan-based technique on him and as far as I know Naruto doesn't have Uchiha blood." That calmed the council.

"He also said that Itachi's reason for the murder is for him to measure his capacity. As for matters concerning Naruto, it's still not clear. There's a chance that Itachi took the boy and the scrolls with him but actually I don't really know. Anyway, that's all for these meeting. You may leave." The council left grumbling about something they can use against the demon vessel while the Hokage was worriedly thinking of the same boy.

'Naruto-kun, I hope that where ever you are, you will be safe' he thought.

Three days later, Naruto finally woke up. He found himself alone in a forest clearing. A few moments later, someone spoke behind him.

"So you're finally awake." Naruto jumped in surprise and prepared himself to attack the man that suddenly appeared.

'How come I didn't sense him? Damn Sargeras is right. My senses are still not that sharp' he thought.

"Relax kid, I'm not going to hurt you or rather I'm not going to do something bad to you" the stranger said while putting down some newly picked fruits. He grabbed one and threw it to Naruto which he caught.

"Eat up. You're unconscious for three days so your stomach is surely grumbling." He laughed when he heard a stomach growl.

"After the meal, I'm going to start training you."

"Hey wait a minute, what do you mean you're going to train me? I don't even know your name. And where's Uchihan-san?" Naruto's words are so fast; the stranger almost didn't understand them.

"Slow down your words kid. Okay first, I'm going to introduce myself. My name is Kage. No surname, no other else. You and Uchiha Itachi are the newest members of the organization, Akatsuki. Itachi is out there in the world doing his work. I'm going to train you so that you will be a worthy member. The Akatsuki is consisted of the strongest missing nins in the world. It is formed to gather all demon vessels and extract the demons inside them so that they will return to their normal life in their respective realm."

"Wait a minute; if you guys do that then why didn't you extract my demon? I've been out for three days and that's more than enough time for you to do your job."

"I see that you already know you're a demon vessel. Kyuubi-sama said that he didn't know of the demon you're containing. It is not under their rule so he gave us other orders and that is to train you and fill you in the organization."

"Kyuubi-sama? Who's he?"

"Kyuubi-sama is the nine tailed demon lord in the demon realm and the one who created the Akatsuki. Well I think that's enough for now. Time for your training."

"Child, it's better for you to join in. I sense greater amount of power within him than the Uchiha. He can train you better" Sargeras insisted.

"Well I guess I have no choice but agree to your terms. Alright let's start training" Naruto said with full enthusiasm.

"That's the spirit kid. Alright I'm going to give you a little overview of your training. For taijutsu, we're going to spar from time to time with you wearing gravity seals of course. I can see that you have one already so I guess all I have to do increased the force. Using of weapons will also be under taijutsu. For ninjutsu, I'm going to teach you a technique and you will only be given three days. If you cannot master it in due time, I'm going to increase the force of your gravity seals to the point that you will not be able to move even your finger. As for genjutsu, hmm I think you only have to learn how to analyze and dispel illusions since you don't look like the type to be a genjutsu user. And don't worry, I'm also gonna help you train your bloodline limit and teach you the kinjutsus in the scroll you and Itachi stole from Konoha. Okay let's start your training."
