In other news: The third Sasuke retrieval arc is finally over! Now that there aren't any oneshot battles as of this chapter, I can finally focus on other characters and irrelevant things that greatly stretch out the length of my stories!After this chapter, I will have to wait about 1 week or so to see how the polls turn out. I don't really know WHEN I'm going to start the romance part of the story, but It will begin next chapter. I have to wait for the polls to finish, then I have to think of romantic fights and scenes that include the couples, and before any of that happens, I have to include major battles with AKATSUKI! (And then I have to get to the main arc, which you are all still clueless about!) Ehehem. I have a new oneshot out, I Wouldn't change it for the world. GO read it on my profile after you read this chapter. I have to mention one thing, you can vote for the pairing you choose once per day! That's right, once per day!

I have over 3400 hits! YAY! I have about 18 amount of reviews as well! YAY! I have 9 alerts, YATTA! I love to think of my very, very, very short chapters as oneshot battles. It's better than the real anime, where it takes one episode to explain one little detail. (Ex: Shippuden ep 29, all filler eps from the first season)

Now a word from my sponsor.

This is Kamimari36, Reviews are greatly appreciated and flamers will be ignored. I do take constructive criticism highly, and i want to fix what you were disappointed with in my story. Also, I don't own Naruto. On with Kazoku!

Chapter 8-Crap! Lost my breath

Last time: ON Kazoku:

The Hyuuga council walked briskly to their meeting room, to discuss what to do with Hiashi's daughters. Hiashi planned to follow them, just in case.

As he and Gamaubunta shared a quick laugh, they signaled Sasuke and Manda too split up and look for him. Naruto created a kage bushin, one to ride with Manda.

Naruto grinned.

"We are almost there, Ero-Sennin, just wait."

With Jiriaya:

Jiriaya panted and dodged Pain's attack. The fricken guy had more stamina than Naruto! With his Shurigan, Pain made the perfect shinobi. No emotion, get the job done, follow the rules. 'Bastard.' Jiriaya thought.

With the Shurigan, Pain had control over all elements, and with his immense chakra, did not tire after using any jutsu. He also excelled in genjutsu and taijutsu, which did not bode well for Jiriaya. It wasn't until now that he realized that he had no chance at all to defeat Pain.

Pain sighed. This nuisance was getting in his way. Time to finish it off with his favorite attack.

Jiriaya watched Pain perform some acrobatic moves. Jiriaya took this time to charge chakra into his feet. He was going to run.

Pain put one hand on the ground and balanced on it, channeling his chakra into the ground. Brown-colored chakra formed into his hand.

Next, he created a lighting jutsu, called Raiton: 'Kaminari '(Thunder) As the attack formed, he smashed it into the brown chakra, forming a dusty gold color of chakra.

Then, Pain put his free hand into the air, letting the rain hit his hand. He channeled chakra into his hand, and some sort of primitive rasengan was made in his hand. He blew on his hand, easily creating a fuuton rasengan.

Jiriaya's eyes widened. Pain could create...a fuuton rasengan?

Pain smashed his hands together. the gold brown and blue white formed a greenish-tan color. Pain then used a 'Hosenka' (Phoenix flower) on the ball he held in his hands like a baby. The color turned into dark brown. Then he put the massive ball of all chakra's into the gaze of his Shurigan.

Jiriaya knew now he couldn't escape. He spent to much time looking at the amazing jutsu. He created two rasengans in both his hands and hoped he would make it out of the mess.

Pain's ball then formed different layers, making it look like his eye, but brown. Then he put the ball above his head and charged Jiriaya, glaring at him.

Pain felt no signs of anything. He was god. And he would prove it to this outsider.

'Double Rasengan!'

'Kami...Mari!' (God's Ball.) (AN:That's what my screenname means.)

With Sasuke and Naruto:

Naruto and Sasuke searched for Jiriaya. Then a huge explosion occured, leveling all of the west district. Naruto panicked, and mind-signaled his kage bushin to tell Sasuke to get his ass west-side! As Gamabunta and Manda went west, Naruto hoped for the best.

Lets look at everybody important, shall we?

Konoha 12 and sensei's:

Ino was mourning over Sai's death, Shikamaru and Choji by her side. Ino thought that she could at least have this one.. just one guy as her boyfriend. She missed Sasuke, she missed out on Shikamaru, who had no interest in her, and after she went out with Choji she knew that her chance at romance was done for. She sobbed as her two friends comforted her, not knowing what was going on in the young blondes head.

Rock Lee was training against Neji.

"Renge!" (Lotus)

Neji was caught off guard, and was knocked into the air. Lee then appeared behind him, then kicked him to the ground. Neji did not move, unable to move. Lee looked down in surprise. He won!

"YOSH! MY FLAMES OF YOUTH HAVE PREVAILED!"

Neji smiled as he fell to the ground. 'About time,'

Kiba and Shino were with their families, learning new jutsu. They noticed how they didn't play a big factor in the last mission, so they wanted to improve their skills and become stronger.

Tenten, Sakura and Hinata were at a local dango shop, talking about boys, clothes, and whatever girls gossip about.

"Damn! I missed out on an awesome mission!" Screeched Tenten.

"Tenten, it was really scary, I thought I was going to die." Sakura said.

"M-me t-too." Stuttered Hinata.

"But you didn't, did you?" Asked a smirking Tenten.

The younger girls perked up at that. They didn't lose, they won! The trio soon had a happy moral. This only met one thing... Hinata pulled out some plastic from her bag.

"SHOPPING SPREE!"

All of the sensei's were at the pub, drinking hardcore and talking and reminiscing. Even Iruka and Anko joined in on the fun, to all of the males chagrin.

'Seems like Iruka found a girl...' Kakashi thought.

Back with Sasuke and Naruto:

Naruto searched in the debris. 'No...no...no...no no no no no no no!'

There, above all other piles, was an impaled Jiraiya, holding something in his hand and something glimmering on his neck.

Naruto walked closer to him, not believing the sight. He put his hands together.

'KAI!"

Naruto looked around again, only to find no change in his surroundings.

Jiriaya gave him a weak smile.

"Yeah, its hard to believe that the great Ero-sennin is dead, huh gaki?" Jiriaya sputtered and spit out blood at this point, but went on.

"Here, take this, it has all information on what you need to know, from your family to your family jutsu.."

Naruto tightly grasped the scrolls that would be most important later in his life.

Sasuke backed away, seeing that this was a private moment.

Jiriaya turned the beginning of the necklace, so it the bulge showed in front of him. Jiriaya grabbed the shining thing on his neck, and pulled it out.

Naruto stepped closer so he could get a better look.

It wasn't a necklace, as he originally thought. Naruto looked at the object a second time, trying to make sure he wasn't being fooled.

He was right, it wasn't a necklace.

It was a kunai.

With the Hyuuga council:

Hiashi paced back and forth, hoping that the fight did not cause something too drastic that altered life as we know it! He shook his head furiously, he was probably just being paranoid.

On one hand, he hoped that Hinata would be looked upon positively, earning her title as Hyuuga heiress.

One the other hand, he didn't want the council to look down on Hanabi.

As a father, he hated himself for choosing favorites. But it was for the best, right?

His time alone was cut short when a branch member told him to enter the Council chambers.

As he walked in, Hiashi showed everyone that he was not to be trifled with as of now.

One of the Council members spoke up, choosing his words carefully.

"It has come to our attention that Miss Hinata-sama wasn't as...unsatisfactory in her efforts as we thought. So, we will give her special training, as well as give her proper skills on how to be the perfect heiress."

Hiashi inwardly frowned. They really wanted to bend her into their liking, like a figurehead. That would not do.

"And as for Hanabi-sama..." Another member said.

"She is too weak for the job, and shall be punished." The Hyuuga said bluntly.

"What?" Asked Hiashi, loudly.

"Yes, Miss Hanabi-sama will have to suffer the consequences." The same person said.

Hiashi noticed an evil smile dance across the mans lips.

"She will obviously have to be disowned from the clan. And no resistance from you, majority rules."

Hiashi stood dumbstruck. He couldn't think of a simple response to what he just heard, and actions are louder than words, so...

"KAITEN!"

Naruto and Jiriaya:

Naruto could only watch in disbelief as Jiriaya spit out blood. He tried healing him, with Kyuubi's chakra, but Jiriaya stopped him.

"Gaki...s-save -that chakra for later...You'll both need it. Open the scroll that says 'Dad' and the one that says 'Mom' Open it as soon as you make it out of here. Train, train, train, these people are too strong, even for you!" Jiriaya shouted.

Jiriaya knew this would be his last moment on earth, so he decided to make it special.

"Oi, and gaki?"

"What...Er-...Jiriaya-sama?" Hesitantly Naruto spoke, wanting to show respect.

"No, don't Jiriaya-sama me! I want you to travel around the world, get stronger, meet love, get more friends! Then you can defeat Pain and Konan, the two that killed me..."

Jiriaya's voice died out.

Sasuke just then found Pain and Konan, he then told Naruto to Tag team with the killers of Jiriaya. Naruto eagerly agreed. This one was for Ero-sennin!

Pain looked on at the two 15 year olds. He wasn't impressed. He was the best student of Jiriaya hands down. These kids didn't know what they were getting into.

Konan looked at Naruto intensely. He looked familiar, just like the...Yondaime...

Konan Flashback:

Jiriaya was in Konoha, but Konan still wanted to be one of his students, so she stealthily followed him, without being detected by him.

She entered the academy, still 15, but she used a genjutsu, then a henge, to look like a younger version of herself.

When she walked into the classroom, she immediately was seated and placed in the back of the room.

She was confronted by a blond with spiky hair and cobalt blue eyes. She tried to look into his eyes for any emotions, and all she saw was curiousity. She asked him what the boy wanted, and all he did was smile.

"I'm Minato Namikaze! I'm going to be hokage one day! What's your name?"

Konan replied in a bright, fake cheery voice.

"I'm Konan."

"No last name?"

"..." Konan paused, she never knew her parents last name.

"...no..."

Minato fell into the awkward silence, unsure of what to say. His imagination sparked.

"Oh! Want to be friends?"

He stuck out his hand, waiting for Konan to take it. She obliged, and shook his hand. 'Friends' Konan thought.

Minato and Konan then sat next to each other during lunch, and Konan was surprised somewhat to see Minato bring a young, short boy to the table. Konan looked at him oddly. For some reason, the boy felt...off. Minato saw his new friends confusion, so he introduced his other friend.

"This is Yusuke Sarutobi. He's the 3rd hokages son!" Minato shouted in a cheery voice.

Minato continued to talk. "However, he was born deaf, mute. and blind!"

Konan gasped. "How will he ever become a ninja?"

Minato looked at her sadly. "I don't really know. He always fails at written tests, and he stinks at target accuracy. Really, he's only good at ninjutsu and genjutsu, which he doesn't need to see the target to do. I think he can smell people though."

"How does he comunicate?" Konan asked.

"Its really weird to communicate with him. Yusuke is great at Kanji. If you right out Kanji symbols on him with your finger, he can clearly understand you. Konan, can you write Kanji?"

"Yes."

Seeing Konan's emotionless face, Minato demonstrated the strange ability.

First, Minato made some strokes on his belly, then moved to his back where he spent half a minute writing with his finger.

"What's that mean?"

"I told him that a blue haired girl is in front of him, and that she's friends with me."

Yusuke suddenly sniffed the air, then moved towards Minato. He spent only a second writing out what he wanted to say.

"Minato, what does that one mean?"

Minato smiled at his new friend. "He wants to be your friend too."

Konan smiled as well, then wrote something on Yusuke's back.

This time, Minato didn't need to ask what she was writing, as he noticed Yusuke's smile towards the two.

TIME SKIP IN THE FLASHBACK

For the next 5 months, the three were the best of friends. Minato was the top boy of the class, even over Fugaku Uchiha and Hiashi Hyuuga, to Konan's surprise. Konan was the top girl of the class, easily overpassing with her extreme experience and jutsu. Yusuke, however, was the dead last. The dobe. He could not hear or see his teachers demonstrate anything, so he learned little. Luckily, his father taught him the academy jutsu during their alone time. Today was the beginning of the genin exam, and all three of them were somewhat anxious.

Minato was anxious because he would be one step closer to hokage.

Konan was anxious because she knew that the best team would be trained by Jiriaya, as she snuck into the Hokage's office and read some of his files.

And finally, Yusuke was anxious because now he became a ninja, the first ninja that literally lived up to the phrase of 'See no monkey, hear no monkey, talk no monkey.'

As the teacher called Minato up, he and Konan exchanged some brief words.

"Don't screw up Minato!" Konan teased.

"I'll try not to..." He said childishly.

He went into the room. His instructor, named Daisuke (AN: No major role!) was seated at the front of the desk.

"Okay Minato, time to make a simple henge, bushin, and, do you see that red line behind you? Yup, that one. I'll give you five shuriken. And try to hit the target. You may begin."

Minato, one used to pressure, easily henged into Yusuke. He even created 20 bushin, to his sensei's surprise. Then he turned around and faced the target. He grabbed all of the shuriken in his left hand. He faced the targets, then closed his eyes and turned around. He spun, then released the shuriken.

They all went whizzing towards the target, and were all on the bullseye.They were embedded with so much force, that you could only see one side of the shuriken in the target! Minato gave a cheeky grin, then turned to his sensei.

"So...Does that mean I pass?"

His sensei facefaulted.

Konan herself easily doubled the efforts of Minato, but didn't show it. Obviously, she passed too.

Lastly, was Yusuke. Konan and Minato wrote some Kanji on his back to reassure him it was easy. Konan especially went into detail, giving him tips and when to start the jutsu. Yusuke's confidence came back.

When he walked into the room Daisuke-sensei ordered him to create a bushin. After waiting 5 seconds, as Konan instructed, he created 30 bushin.

Daisuke looked dumbstruck. That was more bushins than Konan and Minato!

After waiting another 10 seconds after he dispelled his bushin's, he henged into his father, earning a smirk from his sensei.

This time, Minato told him not to move, but to smell the target, find it, then back up 10 meters. Then he would be perfectly alligned with the target, making it easy to hit.

Yusuke sniffed the air, and found the scent of Oak. He followed it, and realized it was the target. He backed up 10 meters, and measured some calculations and angles in his head, figuring out how to throw the shuriken. He realized he had to move a step to the left, so he could throw it properly.

And properly he did throw it! Finally, the Oak target fell to the ground with a thud. Later, Yusuke would realize he only hit 3 of the 5 targets, gaining the minimum, but he didn't care, he was a ninja!

He walked out, and smelled the scent of his two friends. He smiled and ran up to them, headband on. The two went to Ichiraku to get some well deserved food. They were ready for anything!

END OF THE FLASHBACK

Konan inwardly smiled. From there on, Jiriaya continued to teach her regardless, but by the time she it 18 she had to leave, due to her drastic changes in her body. Minato and Yusuke became powerhouses, and they both found love. Too bad Yusuke died. But enough about the past. The present was better. She met up with Pain, only to find her friend dead, making her and Pain the last of Jiriaya's students. To her astonishment, Jiriaya was able to train the son of Minato!

Naruto and Sasuke faced off Pain and Konan. Konan decided to move first, shunshin'ing in front of Naruto, punching him into a crater. Pain attacked Sasuke, but was surprised to see his attack blocked with Kusangi. He laughed, and jumped into the air, dodging a Rasengan.

Deciding no to kill the Jinchurikki, the two Akatsuki members decided on killing Sasuke. He didn't like that idea at all.

"Naruto! We must get out of here!

"No! We must kill them!"

Some of his Kyuubi chakra leaked out, scaring the hell out of Sasuke. Much to his relief though, it receded.

"Naruto-kun...do you feel bad, having your sensei dead? Technically, its all your fault." Pain mocked.

Naruto clenched his fist. They were wrong!

Konan went on with the taunting. "Yes...If you weren't sealed with the Kyuubi in the first place, he wouldn't be here. The Yondaime would still be alive, and Konoha would regain peace. If you hadn't been born, none of this would have happened."

Naruto felt his mind numb. This can't be possible!

Konan turned to Pain.

"Naruto-kun...Did you hate your childhood?"

Naruto snapped. He unleashed 5 tails and beat the crap out of Konan and Pain.

He created 4 kage bushin, and they all Rasengan'd the Akatsuki members.

Pain spoke to Konan.

"His chakra is unstable. We must retreat as of now."

Konan nodded.

As they disappeared, Sasuke heard a faint laugh.

Suddenly, Naruto's body fell unconscious.

Sasuke ignored the blonde for a moment, then looked at where Pain and Konan were hit. To his surprise, there were no traces of blood or ripped clothing anywhere! Turning his attention back onto his friend, he picked up Naruto's belongings, swung the blonde over his shoulder, and went to Wave country, since it was closer than Konoha.

"Damn it, Hope they don't know I went rogue."

With Hinata Hyuuga:

Hinata was in her room, comforting Hanabi, who was crying.

"Why me? Why me? It's not fair! Why me?"

Hanabi's words repeated like a mantra. Part of Hinata wanted her to apologize, the other half didn't. Either way, it was somehow her own fault. It was time for her to act like the big sister and take responsibility, reluctantly of course, but best in the long run for her confidence.

She turned to Hanabi and plotted out what she would do to get her sister's place back, even if it cost her disownment...

In Naruto's MINDSCAPE!!!!!

Naruto felt comfortable, which scared him when he realized he was being carried away by Sasuke. He banished those thoughts away though when he realized he was on a bed. Figuring this was a dream, he made a kage bushin...and his kage bushin promptly punched him before poofing out of existence.

"Fuck! That hurt!"

He decided to look at his surroundings.

The room was dark red with some magenta and lavender thrown in. The walls were blood red with dark red stripes going vertically. There was a lamp and a desk too. He looked down and noticed that he was sitting on a lavendar heart shaped bed with only 2 pillows. He already concluded this was a girls room, but who?

He suddenly froze.

He saw the iron bars looming over his head.

He was interrupted when he heard the door open.

Once again, Naruto froze.

In front of Naruto was the most gorgeous girl he had ever seen!

She had dark tan skin, long red hair that went to her butt, pointy ears, a long bown tail, HUGE assets, nice ass, and was on the short side.He also noticed that she had a necklace on her neck. He looked into her eyes...and gagged.

He spotted the red slit eyes and the whiskers.

Naruto's face became very pale.

"K-ky-kyuubi?"

Seeing his horrified face, Kyuubi smirked, and sensually shimmied towards him.

"In the flesh...literally!"

Naruto scooted away, embarrassed at himself.

"Do you like what you see?"

Naruto turned, unfortunately, or fortunately depending how you look at it, and realized his face was at least 1 cm away from her...goods.

Startled, Naruto crab-walked backwards, back against the wall, trying to defend himself.

Kyuubi laughed.

Naruto realized that her laugh was soft, pure, heav- WHAT? He can't fall for Kyuubi like that. That would be weird.

Kyuubi spoke in a delicate voice. "You know, Naruto-kun, some girls like it when you look at them. Soooooo, do you like what you seeeeee?"

Hesitantly Naruto nodded.

Much to his surprise, she hugged him.

He couldn't control himself, or the blush that followed.

"I'm Kyuubi, if you didn't know."

"I sort of figured that. I'm not dumb you know."

"Ahhhhh, so cute! Makes me want to hug yo-huh? Ouch! Your kunai poked me in the stomach!" Kyuubi whined.

Naruto flushed, wishing he had the 'Hyuuga faint reflex' as he called it.

"He-he-heheh,... that's...n-n-not m-my ku--kunai..."

Kyuubi mocked surprise, then it was replaced with a lecherous grin.

"Oh! You naughty boy!"

She went in closer for a kiss, but was stopped by Naruto's hand.

"You know, you just can't play around with my emotions like that." Said Naruto in a dead serious tone.

"Why not?" Asked Kyuubi.

"Then you'd be like on of them." He replied bitterly.

It suddenly occured to Kyuubi that 'them' were the villagers. Her face and ears drooped. She fiddled with her tail.

"Sorry."

"Apology accepted."

Kyuubi was in shock. He was that easy to forgive? This kid was special! She realized.

"So kiddo, what do you need to know before you regain your consciousness?" Kyuubi asked.

"How come your aren't attacking me, how this room appeared, why you are in the cage if the bars are on the top, and why are you trying to seduce me. Your a guy in your previous life."

Kyuubi blinked her eyes a bit.

"Why would I attack you silly? Although I am a reincarnation, just like the previous Kyuubi, wouldn't that mean I'm the opposite of the last Kyuubi? The room appeared because I can control the mindspace within the bars. The bars are on the top because it gives me extra room to put my furniture, and I'm trying to seduce you because...because...Its fun and I can pass the time by doing this."

Naruto sweatdropped.

"Don't get me wrong, your hot and nice and would make a perfect boyfriend, but that wouldn't work out right."

"Why not?" Asked Naruto.

"It just does, okay?"

"Wait! How come I was able to-"

Naruto and Sasuke:

"-see you naked!" Naruto shouted, without realizing he was out of Kyuubi's room.

Sasuke promptly kicked him in the face.

"Dobe. We're not gay, we're not bi, and I'm working on getting a girlfriend. Don't screw this up."

"Bu-bu-but I saw her...And she was naked!" Naruto sputtered.

Sasuke grinned, way out of character for Naruto.

"That must have been one hell of a dream then."

Naruto sighed, ending the conversation. That's when he realized he hadn't opened any of the scrolls Jiriaya gave him. He also wondered where they were.

"Don't open the scrolls. We're at the main gate." Sasuke said.

Wondering how the hell he knew what he was thinking, Naruto wrote it off as ESP.

When they approached the gate a young man, slightly younger than the two, stopped them.

He had black hair that spiked at his bangs, and his hair was very short, barely making it to the neck in the back. He was shorter than Sasuke, and wore a lightblue longsleeve with a dragon spinning in the middle, owned a sheathe, and had bandages around his leg and arms, Naruto noted.

(Similarly, compare him to Kyoya from Ouran.)

"Who goes there?" The man asked.

"I am Sasuke Uchiha from the...Konoha village. And with me is my friend, Uzumaki Naruto. More importantly, who are you? It seems that Uzumaki country would be Naruto's homeland, would it not? And by the looks of it, you are an unknown country, right? And Uzu no kuni has ninja, right? So how come I have never seen an ninja with a headband like that,"

Sasuke said, pointing to the swirl on the headband that matched Naruto's jacket.

The guard snored, then stood up straight.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't listening. Could you repeat that again?"

The two genin facefaulted.

"I'm Raishuu Subeta! If you are who you say you are, come inside."

The trio walked though the gates, and Naruto was expecting the unexpected.

NARUTONARUTONARUTONARUTONARUTONARUTONARUTONARUTONARUTONARUTONARUTONARUTONARUTONARUTONARUTO

AN: Don't worry, Hinata will join in, and Naruto and Sasuke will return to Konoha. Akatsuki won't be a fact as of now, and next chapter Tsunade finds out that Jiriaya is dead and that the boys haven't returned. Hinata makes a sacrifice for her sister too.

In 1 chapter, polls will be closed and the love portion begins!
