The legend of the wolf and the fox book 1:

The shinobi nations

Chapter 9: "Stop that Uchiha!"

- (7:30 a.m. Monday, Uzumaki residence) -

It was a nice and bright morning in konoha and the start of the week. A lot of young boys and girls where currently excited as it was the start of the academy year and in Naruto's house it wasn't any different.

…well except for the fact that Naruto was still asleep…

"NARUTOOOOOOO!" shouted the feminine voice of one Uzumaki Kushina "get up already you're going to be late to your first day in the academy!"

Naruto though, just turned in his sleep mumbling something about 'the land of ramen' and 'getting the king of all ramens to get him the ramen grial' or something of the like.

After two minutes the door flew open revealing a fuming Kushina who was holding a fry pan in her right hand and was currently glaring daggers at her six year old son "Uzumaki Naruto! Get up in this instant or you're not going to eat ramen for a weak!" shouted Kushina and just like that Naruto was up and about in record time.

Two minutes later Naruto and Kushina were having breakfast and as the little Naruto ate he asked his mother "mom, shouldn't nii-san be here already? You told him to be here for my first day to the academy, isn't it?"

Kushina remembered that, she had told Nack that it was time that Naruto got Minato's scroll in taijutsu, scroll that Nack had at the moment per Minato's request, so she had told him to come by for breakfast and to give Naruto the scroll as Naruto was old enough to start with some of the basic moves of Minato's taijutsu style "yeah… Now that you mention it, where is that idiot? He was supposed to be here about five minutes ago!" exclaimed Kushina.

- (Same time, Nack's apartment) -

"ACHOO!" sneezed Nack waking up, immediately he felt the incredibly familiar headache that came when he had drank way too much the night before "ugh… what the hell!" he said as he opened his eyes and looked around. He noticed that his bedroom looked like a fight had went down there 'what happened here?' asked himself Nack as he tried, and failed, to remember what had done that o his bedroom.

Giving up in trying remembering Nack decided to get up already but when he tried lifting his right arm he noticed a weight there that he hadn't paid attention before 'huh? What's this' thought Nack as he used his right hand to get the feeling of whatever the weight by his side was, he didn't looked down because for some reason he got the feeling that he really shouldn't look down.

"hmmm~!" a moan sounded from the weight by Nack's side and said weight, who Nack had just realized was a woman if the twin mounts pressing his right side were anything to go by, snuggled into Nack's side.

Nack immediately froze 'just what the happened last night!' he gulped and ever so slowly looked down in direction to the unidentified female that was sharing his bed… only to come face to face with a sleeping and naked Inuzuka Tsume, the head of the Inuzuka clan. For what felt like years, but were only a couple of seconds, Nack stared wide eyed at the sleeping Inuzuka matriarch 'oh shit! How did this happened?' screamed in his mind Nack. He then was hit by a recollection of memories from the day before.

Obito and him going to a bar after coming back from a B-ranked mission, the two of them drinking until one in the morning and then going to a strip club, the two of them getting a lap dance and then getting into a fight in the club, the two of them escaping from the Uchiha police force's department's jail after being caught doing public disorder, the two of them going into the Inuzuka clan's compound to look for Rin, he and Obito getting separated after Obito entered Rin's room, him wandering around the compound until he came across… a drunk Inuzuka Tsume…

'Oh fuck! Now I remember!' groaned Nack as he started to recall the little chat that the Inuzuka matriarch and him had had before he had asked how was her husband and she told him that she was divorced and frustrated and Nack had stupidly said that maybe he could help her with that… and then of course Nack remembered spending the next three hours having sex like a wild animal with Tsume who if Nack's memory served him correct was way more dangerous than any animal in the world when horny, if the broken pelvis and several claw-like wounds on his back, pecs and abs that were now healing were anything to go by.

Nack was brought out of his musings by a soft moan coming from the woman by his side that indicated that she was waking up. He slowly shifted his eyes in direction to her and when she opened hers the two of them stared at each other in silence.

"Hehehehe…"laughed awkwardly Nack "uhm… hi?" the reaction he received was something that Nack wasn't expecting at all. He had been expecting a slap, a punch, a claw to the face, a kick to his testicles, and all kind of violent and bloody reactions to his body followed by a long chains of curses and insults of how much of an idiotic pervert or something of the like he was. But never in his life he would have thought that Tsume would kiss his cheek and then laid her head down on his chest to continue sleeping.

'What the… oh fuck!' Nack's confusion at Tsume's behavior was suddenly replaced by an incredible fear as he looked at the alarm clock on his night table "shit!" he exclaimed loudly as he got out of the bed and started dressing as quickly as he could.

Tsume looked slightly amused at the man she had slept with, in reality she hadn't been that drunk the night before but after talking with the immortal shinobi and after his little proposal to ease her itch she figured that she might as well give it a try, nothing serious just a one night stand to feel alive again. And as she looked at him panicking she wondered just what could have him in that state considering that, according to some of the rumors about his missions and the sparrings with the fourth, there was practically nothing that could scare him. Finally she couldn't keep her own curiosity and asked "what's wrong pup?"

Nack turned around to look at her as he finished to put on his pants 'pup?' he thought before he shrugged mentally deciding to ignore the irony of being called pup by someone far younger than him, so focusing on the question he answered "today is the academy year's inauguration and I had promised to be at Kushina's for breakfast to talk to Naruto about something"

"So?" asked Tsume not really seeing anything that could make him act so panicked.

"I was supposed to be there about… ten minutes ago…" said Nack as he glanced at his alarm clock.

Now Tsume understood the fearful look on his face, as it wasn't a secret at all that Kushina despised unpunctuality, as Minato had been late to their own wedding because he was training to master Hiraishin… less to say that after Kushina was done with him Minato hadn't been late to anything ever again, he actually got to whatever place he was going over an hour earlier.

"so… yeah I gotta go…" said Nack as he went to his night table, grabbed a scroll and walked to the door, where he turn around and said "uhm… you're in your home and if you need anything, there's… water in the sink… I think…" Tsume just sweatdropped as she watched him leave in a hurry. She then remembered that she had to be in the academy too for the academy's inaugural ceremony and to see her own son on his first day. So she quickly gathered her things and made her way out of the apartment and took of in direction to the academy.

- (Five minutes later, Uzumaki residence) -

"I said I was sorry!" exclaimed Nack as he ducked a kunai that almost hit his face. Said kunai had been thrown by none other than a pissed off Uzumaki Kushina, who was currently trying to murder the unpunctual idiot that had not only shown up over fifteen minutes later but had used the stupid excuse that he had 'gotten lost in the road of life'… a second later Kushina had launched herself at him hell bent on murdering that immortal moron.

"you will be sorry when I finish with you!" shouted Kushina as she kept throwing kunais and shurikens at Nack, all the time Naruto was sitting in a couch on the living room while eating some ramen and looking at the show, that quickly came to an end when Nack tripped over a discarded kunai and fell to the floor where he was quickly beaten to a bloody pulp by Kushina.

Five minutes later Nack was standing in front of Naruto while holding Minato's taijutsu's scroll on his right hand "brat today you start the academy… so, as your mother and I agreed… we believed that its time you have this" said Nack as he handed the scroll to Naruto who looked at it curiously, but before he could ask what the scroll was about Nack spoke again with a sweatdrop on the back on his head "why did that sound like I was talking to my son or something like that?"

Naruto just looked at his nii-san with a questioning look, while Kushina just shook her head in exasperation "so what's this scroll about?" asked Naruto.

"Oh! That scroll is Minato's taijutsu style" said Nack making Naruto gasp in surprise "yeah, Minato gave it together with another two more which contains more of his techniques, so that in the case of him dying I could hand them to his son when I felt the time was right… and I feel that it's about time you have this one" said Nack with a smile, before adding "the style is called the Hummingbird style, and it's based on high speed attacks to joints pressure points and other vital parts of the human body and it also requires a great flexibility in order to perform some of the moves, it's a rather difficult style to learn because of the incredible speed that the user must have… but I think that you could learn it"

Naruto smiled brightly and was about to hug Nack when Nack spoke seriously "though you must know that this style might not be your most suitable taijutsu style…" said Nack.

Naruto stared at him blinking in confusion "why, nii-san?"

"Well… the hummingbird style is a very powerful and effective style, but…" started Nack "but…?" asked Naruto "but it's a pretty straightforward style with established movements and attacks… your fighting style Naruto, or should I say the way you have fought me when I train you from time to time, relies on making sudden and unpredictable movements and attacking from different angles… to say it in a more simple way your style is simply being unpredictable, you have no defined style and because of this is you are harder to read when fighting. I'm not saying that you can't learn your father's style, because you can… I'm just saying that someone with your natural talent to surprise your opponent when fighting isn't exactly suitable to this style" explained Nack.

"So then… which style is more suita-suita-" "suitable, Naruto. Suitable…" said Nack with a smile on his face "yeah that. Which style is more 'that' to me?" said Naruto looking expectantly at Nack.

"well… none actually…" said Nack lamely and Naruto face planted comically "because you see, you can learn any style that you want but at the end of the day there isn't any style that relies in unpredictability to fight against someone…"

"So what does that mean?" shouted Naruto before a look of fear came to his face "does that mean that I have no talent to fight at all…"

"No…" said Nack seriously "it means that instead of learning a taijutsu style. You Naruto, you will have to create your own taijutsu style" and Naruto's eyes grew wide and an excited smile almost split his face at the prospect of creating a style that he could completely call his own.

"Well, but enough about that… Brat you're going to be late so hurry the hell up and get out of here!" exclaimed Nack before getting bonked in the head by Kushina who scolded him "watch your language you idiot!" Naruto perked up at that comment and quickly pocketed his new taijutsu scroll and ran out of the house while shouting "bye mom! Bye Nack-nii!"

"Bye brat! Kick someone's ass when you get there!" shouted back Nack before he was once again hit on the top of his head by Kushina.

"Bye Naru-kun!" exclaimed Kushina before she looked at Nack "I have to go to the inauguration ceremony, you coming?" she asked the immortal.

"Nah, I hate that kind of formal and boring things…" said Nack lazily "I'm gonna go train a little. See ya later Kushina!" said Nack as he shunshined out of the house.

- (With Naruto, on the way to the academy) -

Naruto was running as fast as he could because he sure as hell didn't want to be late on his first day 'cause that didn't send a good image about him, and his image was already bad enough without adding that he was never on time.

He decided to take the route through the park to shorten the distance a little but when he entered the park a peculiar yet familiar sight, at least to Naruto, greeted him.

"Forehead monster! Forehead monster!" exclaimed a group of kids as they mocked a little pink haired girl that was hugging her knees while sitting in the ground and leaning her back against a tree.

As Naruto watched the little pink haired girl cry as she was mocked, he was torn between helping her and just go on his own way. Now don't misunderstand him Naruto was by no means the kind of person who would just stand by and let someone suffer, but he wasn't stupid either and he knew that if he did something the kids were going to tell their parents and then he was going to have a harder time living… stupid civilians and their fears on things that they cant comprehend. But Naruto being Naruto he just couldn't just stand there and do nothing, after all his father was a hero as well as his mother and his nii-san, so by proxy HE was going to be a hero too.

Nodding inwardly to himself Naruto walked up to the group of kids and shouted "hey! what do you think you are doing?" as he ran until he was standing in front of the pink haired girl in a protective manner "leave her alone!" demanded Naruto.

"and who the hell are you?" exclaimed one of the kids as he tried to push Naruto but Naruto just sidestepped the push, stuck out his foot and made the kid trip and fall on his face.

"AAAAH! My nose!" exclaimed the kid as he nursed his now bloody nose. The other kids then charged at Naruto who scowled and charged right back at them but before he reached them Naruto jumped over the group of bullies and landed behind them where he turned around and performing a cross hand seal with two fingers he exclaimed "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (shadow clone Jutsu)" and in poofs of smoke ten copies of Naruto appeared.

"You better leave or else…" said all of the Naruto's in a threatening tone. The group of bullies looked at the clones before one of them, who looked like he was the older, said "ha! You think that you can intimidate us with a simple Bunshin no Jutsu (clone Jutsu) this things aren't even real!" exclaimed the kid as he pushed one of the clones only for the clone to push back.

"Eh?" said the kid surprised to which Naruto said "this clones are real you idiot! And they can kick your ass too!" exclaimed the blond before he and his clones jumped on the kids delivering an ass kicking for the record guiness. Two minutes later the kids ran away as fast as they could, else they get their asses kicked even worse than the first time.

As the kids were running away one of them turned around and shouted "this isn't over, I'm gonna tell my parents of what you did!" Naruto just sighed 'oh great… now I'm gonna be in more troubles and possible more ignored than before…' thought the whiskered little ninja in training before he heard a soft voice behind him.

"Ano… who are you?" asked in a shy voice the little pink haired girl.

"Huh?" was the intelligent response from Naruto as he looked at her.

Naruto turned around to look at the girl that he had just helped and saw the she was looking at him with her emerald green eyes that were currently a little red from crying, the girl had on a long sleeved blue shirt that had three slits on each sleeves, light green pants and blue sandals, she also had a red ribbon on her head. Naruto the looked at her hair and it was pink 'pink? That's odd I've never heard of someone with pink hair?' thought Naruto 'she's kind of cute though…'

"Uhm… my name is Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto" said the blond with a bright smile that got the girl smiling along side him "what's your name?" asked back Naruto.

"Haruno Sakura…" said the girl shyly "thank you…" she said suddenly getting a confused look form the young Jinchuriki.

"For what?"

"For helping me when those kids were bullying me…" she answered while looking a little sad at the memory of what those kids had been saying to her.

"You don't need to thank me, I did it because it was the right thing to do…" said Naruto with a gentle smile "besides… my nii-san always tells me that I have to help those in needs… especially the pretty girls, and you're really pretty!" exclaimed Naruto while Sakura blushed furiously at being called pretty, before she looked down in sadness.

"I'm not pretty…" she said getting the attention of Naruto "my forehead is huge and everyone calls me forehead monster and laughs at me… besides I don't have any friends, my only friend is Ino-chan…" said Sakura sadly as tears started to gather on her eyes.

"Don't say that!" exclaimed Naruto shocking the girl "those idiot who were picking on you were only doing it because they are too stupid to realize that you are really pretty!" said Naruto and Sakura once again blushed "besides your forehead isn't that big, and besides I think it looks perfect… and as for the friends thing, why don't you become my friend? I don't have many friends either but I can be your friend if you want!" said brightly Naruto.

"r-really?" asked Sakura in a hopeful tone, getting an enthusiastic nod from the blond.

"Thank you!" exclaimed the girl before she noticed someone coming in her direction.

"SAKURAAAAAAA!" shouted the person. Naruto turned in direction to the voice and saw a blond haired girl, whose hair was a paler than his and reached just past his neck with a hair ping keeping her hair to the side showing her entire and pretty, in Naruto's opinion, face she also had light blue eyes. The girl was running in their direction and Naruto saw that she was wearing a light orange long sleeved shirt with purple stripes coming down in the sleeves; she also had purple shorts and blue sandals.

"Finally I find you what are you doing we are going to be late to the first day at the academy!" exclaimed the girl before she noticed Naruto "and who is he?" she asked looking at the whiskered blond curiously.

"Hi! I'm Uzumaki Naruto! Nice to meet ya!" exclaimed happily Naruto with a toothy grin on his face, which amused the two girls at how bright and happy the blond seemed to be.

"I'm Yamanaka Ino!" said the blond haired girl with a smile before she turned to Sakura "Sakura you didn't told me that you had a new friend!" she scolded in a mocking way.

"But I just met him now!" exclaimed Sakura before she said in a quieter tone "when scared those bullies…"

Ino gasped in surprise before she grabbed Sakura by the shoulders "someone was bullying you again? Where are them? I'm gonna teach them a lesson about not bullying my best friend!" exclaimed Ino.

Sakura then explained to Ino what had happened with the bullies and how Naruto had taken care of them, Ino instantly thanked him and then Sakura and Ino left when the two of them remembered that they had somewhere to go. So Naruto stood there for a little while before he remembered that he had to go to the academy, so he took off in that direction as fast as he could.

Up in the trees Nack was looking at the place where Naruto and the two little girls had been before he smiled in a mixture of happiness and sadness "it's good to see him bond with other kids, after everything the villagers have tried to isolate him I was beginning to fear that they would tell their kids to stay away from Naruto… but looking at this it seems that at least they haven't do it and I hope that they don't do it at all…" then he turned to look at Minato's face in the Hokage mountain "you would be proud of him, you blond dumbass… he is just as much of an oblivious and goodhearted idiot as you…" and with that he jumped away.

- (Three months later, ninja academy) -

Naruto was just sitting in there in the classroom completely and utterly bored. It had been three months already since the start of the academy and Naruto had met a couple of kids he hung out with from time to time. The first one was Nara Shikamaru, now Shikamaru was the laziest person Naruto had ever met, but he was also the smartest. Naruto liked him because he didn't judge him at all and even when he was sleeping most of the time he was a good company and actually paid attention when you talked to him, even though he pretended that he didn't. the other one was Akimichi Chouji, the dude was fat Naruto wasn't going to lie about that but he was also really kind and loyal and strong as hell when you call him fat, a lesson Naruto learnt the hard way only a week after the start of the academy. These two had become Naruto's firsts male friends that had his same age, and they along with Inuzuka Kiba, Tsume's son, had often been seen together skipping classes or just hanging out, though Kiba and Naruto were more rivals than friends…

Another thing that had happened had been that Sakura and Ino hadn't talked to him since the beginning of the academy, in fact right after the entrance ceremony Naruto had looked for the two of them and found them talking to a couple of girls. He had walked in their direction when he heard one of the girls point at him and say "look! That's the kid that my mom told me that was a delinquent and that he always caused troubles in the villages, she even said that he had once burned the flowers in the park…" Naruto didn't need to hear anything else to know that the academy wasn't going to be a very nice place to him. A week later Naruto had tried to speak to Sakura but she had only told him that he was annoying her and that he was getting in the way of her love… Uchiha Sasuke.

Sasuke was one of the few kids that Naruto didn't really get along at all, well at least of the kids that actually recognized his existence. Naruto didn't like him because, a) for some reason all the girls in the class seemed to like him and would insult anyone that tried to talk to them, b) he was good at most of the subjects and always had that smug smirk on his face but even so Naruto knew that there was one thing that Sasuke was not better than him in the academy, taijutsu… Naruto smirked at the thought of their first sparring match against each other. Now Sasuke was strong and the fact that he had learned the interceptor style, the Uchiha's taijutsu style, made him better than most of the class at taijutsu but Naruto, even though he didn't have a taijutsu style at all, was simply stronger and faster than Sasuke, not to mention the obscenely large difference in stamina between them, as Nack had pretty much forced Naruto to undergo an incredibly hard conditioning training in order to make him fit to learn any taijutsu style that Naruto might need in order to create his own style.

But enough about that now Naruto was currently waiting for the bell to end this hell hole that people normally called the academy and…

*RIIIIIIIIIIIING!*

"FINALLY! Freedom!" shouted Naruto as he jumped right out the window and ran fast in direction to ichiraku ramen.

All of the other students just looked at the spot that the blond had just been in before they sweat dropped 'he didn't even realize that this was just the second class of the day…' was the common thought going to everyone's mind… yeah even the stoic Shino and Sasuke were thinking that.

- (Ichiraku ramen) -

Nack had just finished his second bowl of miso ramen when Naruto entered the little stand "hey old man! I want an order five pork ramen and keep 'em coming!" shouted the blond haired six year old before he noticed who was sitting besides him "Nack-nii?"

"Huh?" he looked at the whiskered boy "oh! Naruto! How are you doing?" asked Nack as he continued to eat his ramen.

"Great! I totally kicked ass in the taijutsu class!" exclaimed Naruto getting a chuckle out of Nack and Teuchi who had been coming back with Naruto's order.

"So following that comment…" said Nack as his eyes became more serious "why aren't you in the academy?"

"Hehehe… I was bored…?" explained lamely Naruto while scratching the back of his head sheepishly.

Nack sighed, Kushina was going to be soooo pissed when she found out about this… but on the other hand, maybe this was the perfect time to start the new training for Naruto. "Naruto…" said Nack and Naruto looked at him with a mixture of fear and curiosity "let's go, I think this is the perfect time to up your training!" said Nack with a smile and Naruto.

That's all that Naruto needed to hear as he inhaled the rest of his order of ramen and the two of them made their way into the woods.

Five minutes later the two of them stood in front of each other as Nack began to talk "Naruto as you already know you have two chakras inside of you" explained Nack getting a nod from Naruto "well… I believe that it's time I teach you how to use some of the Kyuubi's chakra" said Nack and Naruto gasped in surprise.

"Really? Didn't you said that it would be better if I waited till I was twelve or older?" said a shocked Naruto.

"yeah, I did said that but that's only if you want to completely control and use that chakra at will…" explained Nack "what I'm going to be teaching you will be how to boost your physical abilities by pumping Kyuubi's chakra from the seal into your body…"

"So no cool Jinchuriki abilities?" asked Naruto a little disappointed at not getting a cool Jutsu or something of the like.

"No… though when this training is over Kyuubi's chakra will be in tune with yours and you'll gain accelerated healing when pumping Kyuubi's chakra into your system…" said Nack and Naruto smiled at that, though he still thought that it could have been a cooler ability.

"Well let's just start already. I want to get a good sleep before I leave for my mission tomorrow" said Nack as he started to explain how to call upon the Kyuubi's chakra.

- (18:30 hrs, forest) -

"Alright that's enough for today kid!" exclaimed Nack as Naruto fell to the ground panting.

"*pant* h-hai! *pant*" grumbled Naruto out of breath "*pant* did I ever *pant* tell you *pant* how much I hate you *pant* nii-san?"

Nack smirked at this "yeah… you and Obito had told me this about a million time after you guys go through my trainings methods… especially the endurance one" Naruto just grumbled before the only thing that could be heard from him was light snoring. "Hehehe… he fell asleep… oh well I better get him home before Kushina worries" Nack approached the sleeping Naruto when suddenly Obito landed in front of him looking out of breath.

"Sensei!" exclaimed the nineteen year old "sensei the Uchiha compound…"

"Huh? What happened?" asked Nack looking at the panicking Uchiha.

"The compound… the Uchiha compound is on fire!" exclaimed Obito.

"What?"

"But that not all…" said the young Uchiha getting Nack to stiffen a little at the shocked tone of his voice "the clan… they were all murdered… I-Itachi… h-he murdered everyone but his little brother… he even killed Shisui…" said Obito in a perturbed tone that Nack couldn't quite understand.

But what Nack did understand was that Obito was incredibly sad and hurt by this incident. Even though Obito had left the Uchiha compound almost seven years ago, after his parents and his cousin Misato had died on the day of Kyuubi's attack, he still had some people he talked to in the clan, one of them had been Shisui and the others were Itachi and Itachi's mother Mikoto, who was also Kushina's best friend.

"Have they found Itachi yet?" asked Nack trying to keep his face neutral, less he showed some of the anger and worry he felt towards this, anger at what had occurred since was friends with Mikoto and he also knew Shisui and Itachi and the worry was about how Kushina was going to take this and how Obito was taking it right now.

"No…" answered Obito with a shaky tone "he was gone when they first found the bodies" said Obito though Nack could tell that he knew something.

"You know were he might have gone don't you" it was more of a statement than a question.

"Yeah… I think I know were he went but… I need to…" Obito didn't get to finish his question before Nack answered for him.

"You need to know why he did it, don't you…" he got a nod as an answer.

"Well then… what are we waiting for? Let's go and ask him ourselves" said Nack as he wordlessly formed a kage bunshin and order him to take the sleeping Naruto to his home.

- (Thirty minutes later, Uchiha secret hideout five miles away from the village) -

"Good job Itachi" said the masked figure of Uchiha Madara (or at least I think that's Madara because with the latest chapters I don't know what to think anymore) as he gazed at the young thirteen year old Uchiha in front of him who's eyes were emotionlessly gazing at the night sky from the window of the little cottage that was hidden by a Genjutsu that only a person with the sharingan could easily notice.

Madara stared at the young man before him for a moment; he hadn't said anything since he put his little brother under the effects of the Tsukiyomi (moon good) but Madara wasn't worried at all, because after all he had finally gotten his revenge on those that betrayed him, his own clan, as he gazed at the young Uchiha a smirk formed under his mask, he knew that the young Uchiha didn't trust him at all but that was fine because he didn't trust in Itachi too and he wasn't planning on telling him everything about his plan.

He was about to tell Itachi that they had to go when the alarms set in the perimeter went off, signaling that the Genjutsu tat covered the area had been deactivated but not by an Uchiha, one minute later the two Uchihas jumped out of the small cottage to face the intruders.

"well, well if it isn't the kuroi no arashi and the black sheep of the Uchiha clan" said Madara as he gazed at the intruders, Itachi just tensed with his face emotionless "I was wondering how someone who wasn't an Uchiha could have known of this place, but considering that the alarms went off I assume that you aren't recognized as an Uchiha anymore, isn't it?" said in an amused tone Madara, as Obito narrowed his eyes at this.

"keep calm, Obito…" said Nack without taking his eyes off of the two Uchihas in front of him "don't do something stupid" 'a mask with a hole on the right side? So this is the guy that attacked Minato and Kushina at Naruto's birth… this guys the responsible for the Kyuubi's attack' thought Nack as he tensed his muscles ready to attack at any moment.

"Why did you do it Itachi?" asked Obito in rage "why did you killed Shisui, your family and everyone in the clan!" Itachi just looked emotionlessly at Obito "answer me, dammit!" shouted Obito but Itachi only set himself in the interceptor style stance.

"Fuck! You don't want to talk? Fine! I'll just have to beat your ass to the ground until you tell me why you did it!" exclaimed Obito as he activated his sharingan and charged at Itachi. Itachi jumped out of the way just in time and started jumping through the woods and away from konoha, Obito took after him ignoring the shout of 'wait Obito!' from Nack.

Nack tsked and rushed in the same direction in order to reach Obito before he did something stupid and got himself killed, after all Itachi had killed almost everyone from his clan with the exception of his little brother and Obito so it was safe to say that Itachi had some ace under his sleeve that made him capable of pulling that off.

He was about to jump at the trees when suddenly Madara appeared from thin air in front of him "why don't we let the young ones resolve their differences on their own while we get to know each other, mister black storm…" said Madara as he clicked his chains close around his wrists.

'Tch. This guys a space-time ninjutsu user, and for what I heard from Kushina and this little demonstration right now I would say that he's even better than Minato because he doesn't need an anchor to teleport himself… fuck this is going to be hard' grumbled Nack in his head, before he rushed at Madara and tried to punch him in the face, 'tried' being the keyword because as he made contact with Madara's face he went right through his body and into the chains 'what?' thought alarmed Nack.

"Got you…" muttered Madara as he used his space-time Jutsu to suck Nack into his pocket dimension.

*poof*

"Huh?" said Madara as 'Nack' disappeared into a small cloud of smoke "kawarimi no Jutsu (replacement Jutsu)?" said Madara before a kunai passed through his intangible head.

"Tch. So you keep your body intangible all the time your not attacking, eh?" said Nack as he appeared from behind a tree "and by the way that wasn't kawarimi… the me that landed in front of you from the very beginning wasn't the real me, it was just a kage bunshin…" explained Nack as he took out a kunai from one of his seals in his belt and settled into a stance.

"Hmmmm… you're better than what I had expected… well, this is certainly going to be a very amusing fight" said Madara with an arrogant tone as his sharingan glowed in the dark night.

Nack just chuckled at this getting a confused stare out of Madara before he spoke "you know I would love nothing more than to kill you with my bare hands, because you are the one that caused the Kyuubi's attack and it's your fault that Minato died… but as I said before this is just a kage bunshin" Madara's eyes went wide as Nack said this "but rest assured… I'll be sure to kill you sometime in the future… ja ne!" and with that Nack disappeared in a poof of smoke.

Madara stared at the point were Nack had been before he chuckled humorlessly and teleported away his last thought was 'I'll be sure to kill you before you kill me… Kijin no Jinchuriki (Demon God's Jinchuriki)…'

- (With Itachi and Obito) -

The tow of them had just been staring at each other fro the last two minutes, but if you looked closer you could see that their eyes would twitch every now and then, a signal that they were currently under a Genjutsu.

All of a sudden Obito fell to his knees gasping for breath and Itachi had to cover his left eye in pain. After a couple of seconds to recover from the experience of being in Itachi's Tsukiyomi, Obito spoke "so… *pant* so that's why you *pant* did it *pant*" he had just heard the entire story about the planning of the coup, Itachi's role as a double agent, the mission that the advisors, Danzo and the Hokage (though the last one did it reluctantly) had given to Itachi, and finally the mission it self, which he had seen through Itachi's memories.

Obito had to say that if it had been him… well he wasn't so sure he could have done it, even if he had had the Mangekyou Sharingan, he just wouldn't have been able to kill the people that, even though they had shunned Obito away from the clan, he thought as family.

"Now you understand why I had to do it… I can bear to see the results of a civil war in the village that I love…" said Itachi his voice full of the remorse and guilt that he felt at what he had done.

"But what about your little brother… what about Sasuke… you know that the council would never let me raise him, they hate me especially that old bastard of Danzo… I'm probably going to be watched very closely because I'm an Uchiha too…" said Obito letting out a growl at Danzo's name.

"I know…" said sadly Itachi "just… just look after him, he will probably is going to seek for power to kill me… and I'm okay with that but, don't let him fall into the darkness… don't let the circle of hate of the Uchihas continue with him… please Obito" pleaded Itachi and, most likely for the for the first time in his life, he bowed at someone who wasn't his superior officer, the proud prodigy of the Uchihas bowed to the pariah of the Uchihas but Itachi didn't care about those titles, he only cared about his little brother and that alone was enough for him to bow to Obito like the former pariah of the Uchihas was an emperor or something of the like.

"I'll do what I can…" said Obito and even though it wasn't a positive answer, Itachi knew that that was the most he was going to get and it was okay because he hadn't been expecting anything either way.

"Thank you…" whispered softly Itachi before he disappeared in a burst of speed, leaving Obito alone.

A second later Nack landed besides Obito "he's gone, huh?" said the immortal Jinchuriki as he looked at Obito.

"Yeah…"

"So what happened?" asked Nack in curiosity as there was no sign of fighting in the forest.

"It's a long story… I'll tell you when we get back, and I want your word that you wont tell anyone" said seriously Obito.

Seeing the usually carefree and happy go lucky Obito acting so serious Nack only nodded and the two of them jumped away in direction to the village.

- (Four years later, the day after the academy's graduation test) -

Nack stared at the now ten year old Naruto, who was looking at the ground nervously, in a mixture of annoyance and amusement, Naruto had tried to take the graduation exam yesterday, even though that the students normally took the exams when they were twelve though if they wanted they could try taking them earlier but mostly no one did it because doing it would mean to skip part of their basic formation to being a ninja, and everyone knows that the basics are extremely important.

But ignoring that Naruto had taken the exams, and Nack was okay with it because Naruto was good enough to be a gennin at the moment, granted the kid sucked at Genjutsu because of his large reserves of chakra and his ninjutsu was still shabby as he still couldn't get down the henge no Jutsu (transformation Jutsu) and the bunshin no Jutsu (clone Jutsu), again because of his large reserves of chakra and his poor control over it because of it. But regardless of that the kid was strong and his never ending stamina made him the perfect training machine, so he could get better at the things he was lacking with time… and that's not even counting the fact that Naruto already knew the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (shadow clone Jutsu) so learning chakra control or new Justus would only take him a fraction of the usual time. Go how he loved kage bunshin, and the fact that it was him (Nack) that had invented the Jutsu made it even better for his ego.

But, getting back at the important point of the conversation, Nack spoke to Naruto "so you failed?" asked Nack trying to suppress his laughter and look as serious as he could.

Naruto nodded "and you failed why...?" asked Nack. He already had heard why the kid had failed but he wanted to hear it again just because he found it so damn funny.

Blushing in embarrassment and anger at being forced to said this again Naruto hissed through gritted teeth "I failed 'cause I fell asleep in the middle of the written test and scored zero on it" said Naruto and Nack fell to the ground laughing.

Of course Nack knew that even if Naruto would have stayed awake the kid wouldn't have become a ninja because his test had probably a strong Genjutsu that made it more difficult. He knew that because he had noticed it when he had been watching Naruto taking the test from outside of the classroom while sitting in a tree. He would have to talk with the old man about this later but for now he was just going to laugh at Naruto's clumsiness at falling asleep during something so important to him.

Finally he stop laughing and stood up "ma, ma it doesn't matter Naruto you can try next year… and think about it this way, this way you get to keep training with me because when you're placed in a gennin team I'm not going to be able to train you as often as now" said Nack and Naruto actually smiled at that, because even though his nii-san was a slave driver when training Naruto had become pretty strong because of it.

"yeah, I guess you're right… beside this way I can keep going to class with my friends and there might be a chance that I even get into the same team as Sakura-chan!" exclaimed loudly Naruto and Nack sweatdropped, he still didn't quite get what Naruto saw in the pink haired little girl, seriously that girl was just like a mini version of Kushina less the long red hair and the dedication to be a ninja as the only thing the girl did was to try and get the attention of the brooding Uchiha, who ever since that night had been living alone in the main house of the Uchiha compound (that had miraculously not being burned down by the fire initiated by Itachi to cover his escape) and would only brood and didn't care about anything that didn't help him growing stronger.

Snapping back to the talking Naruto, who hadn't noticed that Nack had been lost in his thoughts about the last loyal Uchiha, as the civilian council and the advisors didn't consider Obito an Uchiha because he had left the compound and the Uchiha clan considered him a disgrace as Obito didn't acted al high and mighty because he had the sharingan (fucking bastards). Nack looked at Naruto who seemed to be talking about how hungry he was and how he was going to become a ninja the next time he decided that he would think about that later when it actually matter, so with that in mind he asked Naruto if he wanted some ramen, getting an eager 'hell yeah!' from the little whiskered blond, and the two of them walked in direction to the little ramen stand with Naruto thinking about his future trainings and Nack thinking about what the future had in store for him and the rest of the people close to him…

A/N: yay! chapter done! now next chapter is the moment that i believe many of you have been expecting, because next chapter naruto finally graduates from the academy and it's placed on his team (i'm gonna let the gennin teams as they are in the story, mainly because i'm too lazy to think of how to do it with different teams). also when the next chapter is up, the poll about naruto's jounnin sensei will be closed so vote if you want. with that said, as always i'm open to sugestions and/or advices to improve the story. blackwolfxi is going to get a drink because it's saturday and i haven't drank any alcohol in about a week... so yeah!
