This is a Naruto Fanfiction Only.

I was beating a target with every bit of anger I had, and I was plenty angry. Our Kage in his infinite wisdom decided to participate in the Chuunin Exams in the worst possible place ever, at least for me, I guess I should not be so hard on him, it was partially my fault. The report of the mission on Wave was actually received by our Kage with a rather positive response.

He even said that since ninja of our two villages worked so well together on a mission like that, then it was high time to do something about the negative emotions and history between our villages, so he sent my team since we worked with a team from Konoha as a means to bury the hatchet as it were.

I hate that stupid village, that has not changed since I left and more than likely it would never change, especially since I could see how Konoha treated a piece of my very soul. I sometimes wish I could talk to my son and ask him if he realized that they would treat me in such a fashion, then again maybe that is why he did it in the first place. I was pretty hard on him when he was growing up.

I finished breaking my twentieth training dummy and decided to walk towards the restaurant we decided we would meet, Sango was having some sweets, Kenshin was drinking a soda and he was drinking that soda with Kisara of all people. Honestly, these guys are going to make my hair turn white even before I manage to get all the pieces of my soul.

"Well Team I got some good news and some bad news, we have been selected to participate in the Chuunin Exams, it seems we made a good impression on some people and they think you three have what is required to take the exams. Now for the bad news, it is in Konoha, and no we can't go it set explosives all over the place and blow it up."

Sango looked at me and then at the two other members of the team, "Sir we had no intention of doing that in the first place, why would you even mention it?" I told her because that is exactly what I wanted to do, I needed to express it or I would continue to have this bile taste in my mouth.

This caused the three of them to begin laughing, it seems they found the way I was behaving funny, my purpose in doing that worked it seems, the last thing I need my students letting the exam stress get to them.

We each talked about what each of them would train during the month between the preliminaries and the actual final tournament, most people think that Konoha does the exams differently each time, but in reality that was not the case, everything was planned and always had the same format.

Thanks to the memories I got from my nine tails piece I knew exactly what to expect. I told them that I would use the shadow clone to make sure that all three would be properly trained in that month, that made Sango smile and both Kisara and Kenshin to look quite worried.

We decided to go that day and the long journey to Konoha began, we killed a few stupid bandit groups and we made a little money on the way, the trip was actually going rather well and that means I could use the time to help my team in what I called last minute training. They mastered the water walking exercise and the kunai spinning exercise by the time we reached Konoha, the gates looked the same as I remembered them. Big, bland and with two idiots glaring at me.

"State your names, Purpose, and Place of Origin for the record," I told him we were the team from Iwagakure here to participate in the Chuunin Exams being conducted in Konoha. I decided to introduce my team, I did not mention my name since it would make no sense, my appearance had changed quite a bit since these two last saw me, having four pieces of my soul back had that effect.

"I am the Jounin Instructor of this team, this is Sango, Kisara and Kenshin, be nice and bow to the nice guards." I looked at them and only Kenshin did not bow to them at all if anything he looked at them with a look of utter anger on their faces.

He looked at me and then at them, "Instructor Uzumaki, why would I respect the fools that treated my Instructor so badly?" Well, there goes my idea of remaining unrecognized during my stay in the village.

One of the guards, one of the guards that used to insult me every day, in fact, came closer to me. "Is that you Naruto? I could hardly recognize you. Why is a failure like doing leading a team and from that village?"

I had to stop both Sango and Kisara from trying to jump the idiot and trying to beat the living daylights out of him, "You know as you clearly said as a failure I was a normal citizen, and since this place obviously loved me as much as I loved living here, well I moved, and in my new village my talents were more appreciated than when I lived here."

"Now if you will excuse me I got to find a place for my team to stay, meet with your Hokage, got a message from the Tsuchikage after all, and still got a meeting with the Proctors of the exams, you know busy. Last but not least, I outrank you, I will forgive you this time, but other Jounin Instructors from other villages might not be as nice as I am."

My team entered the village and Sango asked me why did I use to say Konoha was a horrible place to live, she actually considered the village to be quite nice, they certainly had more trees than they did, the flowers looked nice so why such horrible opinion of this place?

I told my student that I was describing the people that lived here, not the village itself. Turns out that the village had an entire hotel reserved and paid for all the foreign teams to occupy during the Chuunin exams, well that told me there would be more villages participating and they were trying hard to avoid a diplomatic incident.

I told my team to finish reading what I told them to read, a few scrolls on information gathering. I walked over to the Hokage Building and wouldn't you know it, Kakashi was there. He looked like he was waiting for me for some odd reason. "Well would you look at that, I was not expecting to see you here Naruto, what brings you back here? Ready to admit I was right, and return to Konoha?"

I looked at him and I couldn't believe he would actually suggest something so repulsive and in public too, I walked into the building and looked at the secretary, yep, still the same village that I remember hating so much, "Got a message for your Hokage, either open the door, or I will deliver this message over your corpse."

A voice was heard laughing through the intercom as I finished saying that, "No need to threaten my secretary Naruto, the door is open. Come on in, I was actually expecting you."

I walked into the office and stopped three kunai from hitting me with my sword and instead caused them to hit the three idiots that threw them at me. I walked over to the desk and placed a scroll on it. "The Tsuchikage ordered me to deliver this message, something about burying the hatchet between our villages, and this is how you welcome his messenger? I should really report this to my Kage. I should have known not to trust the intentions of Konoha."

I was ready to walk out when he began laughing, "Actually Naruto that was the three proctors testing to see if you were really a Jounin, you got to remember, they still think that you are an academy drop out. I know full well the contents of that scroll. Onoki and I spoke about it in great detail last time we spoke."

"So Kakashi was telling the truth, after all, you really are a Jounin Instructor of Iwa of all places, honestly Naruto why didn't you invite me to come along with you? I have to say I feel quite hurt, you used to love hunting in that forest we both like so much." I turned around and saw that Anko was wearing a trench coat, fishnet vest and shorts, pretty much how I remember her.

"Well Anko, I would but you see then this place would have an excuse to try and kill you, and nobody wants that. Now, where is old Scarface, he still owes me 40 bucks and let's not forget the interest." This made Anko and a guy who seemed to have a severely bad case of asthma to laugh.

"So are you here for the Exams or are you going to live here from now on?" I looked at him and told him once the Exams were over I would gladly return to my home, meaning the one in Iwagakure.

"So you don't ever plan to come back to the village your father loved and died to protect?" I knew Ibiki was here somewhere. How could he actually miss this meeting if he was one of the proctors on the Exams? I knew by the looks of it, Anko and that guy that apparently had trouble breathing were also proctors of the exams.

"Do you think I would come to this place had my Kage not ordered me to come? I will tell you this, I am not going to be merciful if you plan to attack me to try and kill me, get the gravedigger to start digging. You say my father loved and protected this place, well that was his mistake, not mine."

"I told the Tsuchikage that we should conduct our own Chuunin Exams, ignore this place altogether, but he simply would not relent, he told me to bring my students to this place. Just think of it this way, the Fourth Hokage had a tough time defeating the nine tails, well I am much worse than he ever was, he was being controlled by someone placing him under a Genjutsu."

I threw all three kunai at the people that threw them at me, and they caught them, but since I only used a portion of my strength, they had a had time keeping a grip on them.

"Except for a few people, this place was a living hell for me, so don't expect me to shed a single tear if this place gets destroyed, you did notice those ninjas with the music note on their headbands didn't you? This is information from our ANBU they found out Orochimaru is the leader of that village, I don't imagine he likes this place any better than I do."

Hiruzen looked worried after hearing what I told him, "What is exactly keeping you from joining forces with Orochimaru to destroy this place?" I told him my Kage said this was an attempt to bring peace between our two villages since he didn't order me to attack, I was not going to destroy the village, just making sure everyone knew my feelings.

I looked at Anko and smiled at her, "Now that this is taken care off, I need to ask Anko here to come with me to a place with plenty of privacy, don't want to ask her to take her clothes off in front of a whole crowd now do I?"

Anko began to laugh and asked me why would I ask her to take her clothes off, I told her that she had a little something that smelled rotten on her back, I told her I figured taking care of that would show my village was honest in their attempts to establish peace, even if three people of her village tried to kill me.

Hiruzen actually told me that Jiraiya had already tried several times to remove that seal, and he didn't succeed at all. I told him that if he wanted to have someone make sure I didn't harm her, we could do it with some doctors watching while I removed that pesky seal. Anko didn't want to wait and told me to follow her to her place.

As we walked she kept looking at me, almost expecting me to blush, I been married before, and I have the good, bad and embarrassing memories of that marriage, it would take something really spectacular for me to blush. As we walked towards her place, I remembered that she actually lived in that dump of a building I used to live at.

The sight of three ninjas from Suna was not surprising, the smell coming from the one with the big gourd on his back was a different story altogether. The smell was coming from him and for some odd reason the gourd itself, it made me think of one of the pieces I still had to absorb.

As we walked in the apartment, I told her I only needed to have access to her back and a sewing needle. I heated the needle with my chakra, and when she exposed her back I told her to lie down, I even told her it might hurt a little bit. She told me to get on with it or was I enjoying seeing her undressed a little too much.

I did the hand sign and began to feed chakra through my needle, and sure enough I found that pesky thing inside the seal, Orochimaru had placed a piece of his own soul into the seal, the way the seal was made was a possession seal, or to be more specific the seal was a reversed of an exorcism seal.

A crude way to make a possession seal be certain, but thanks to the memories I had regained this seal was no trouble at all, as I fed chakra through the piece of soul I had stabbed and skewered on the needle, the thing began to cry and scream. As soon as it was dead, the seal began to fade and finally it was completely clear.

"See nothing to it, this possession seal is not that difficult to destroy if you know what you are doing. Now we need to talk about why would Orochimaru come here himself, I would imagine you would have a few ideas why?"

Anko told me she actually didn't have the first clue, she was surprised to find out the new village was something he formed, I guess the peace has really dulled the information gathering skills of the village, or the person in charge of gathering said information is too busy peeking at women bathing in a few open baths. My guess would be peeping was more important to him, he is quite the pervert, as far as I have heard.

"My guess he wants the one thing that could really help him get stronger, and faster than he currently can, my guess is he is after the last of the Uchiha. The ability to copy any Jutsu by simply watching the hand signs has always been a coveted and envied ability. The guy with the gourd could also be a bit of trouble, but if it comes to that, I will take care of it."

I turned around so she could get dressed, "You know Naruto, you are in my place, and I am practically naked from the waist up, why aren't you trying to flirt with me? Or at the very least try to get in bed with you? Mind explaining that to me, am I that unattractive to you?"

I heard her putting her clothes back on and decided to make sure to explain I didn't do the typical things a guy my age supposed to do. "Anko, honestly you are one of the most beautiful ladies I ever met, I, however, am not your typical guy, I am weirder than even you think I am, in fact, I am already married. My wife just happens to be very far away from here, and I would never in a million years would I cheat on her, love her too much to even consider it."

She began to laugh and I turned around as she laughed about something, "Well, if it means anything I wish I could tell that woman how lucky she is to have married you. Did you two plan to have any kids? I could be the godmother to them, I know Ibiki would love to be the godfather."

I began shaking my head, "Maybe once I am with her again, I just don't know, we have been apart for a long time, she is as far from as that it feels like she is on the moon. If I remember correctly we did have two sons, and I do have a daughter that is helping me. Now come on, I need to get to the hotel before my team starts to think Konoha has done something to me."
