Chapter X:

x-x

Plagueis sat in a comfortable black chair behind his wooden desk. The body he was possessing was beginning to show signs of the possession. He had to wear glasses to hide the sulfuric yellow eyes that Gatou now possessed but the body was holding out and there was no degradation yet. He thought perhaps he could last for another year or perhaps longer. He had heard of possessions that had lasted months and ones that had lasted for years, but this wasn't a body that had midi-chlorians so he wasn't sure how long before he would need his student to carry his holocron again or find another body.

The pudgy hands of Gatou absently touched the storage seal on his arm where his holocron was kept as he waited for his student, who was likely moments from arriving in Wave. They had been in contact with each other over the communication system for several months now. Naruto was coming in person now to talk about their future plans as well as other things.

Tensions had risen with the inhabitants of Wave and Plagueis could feel that in the near future, something would happen. He knew that his host's life would be in danger as it was only a matter of time before there was a revolt of some kind in the country. Before he possessed Gatou, the short man had bullied the people of Wave into submission. There had even been a public execution and numerous beatings.

The main village of Wave was destitute and the only hope that they had was the bridge that was being constructed from the main island to Fire Country. Interestingly enough, Gatou had been secretly helping along the construction of the bridge, despite the fact that it could destroy his monopoly and hold on the country. The reason for this was that the man planned to kill all the workers before the bridge was completed and then complete the bridge with his own workers, name the bridge after himself, and then make everyone pay a heavy toll for its use.

Gatou had planned to use the bridge to transport numerous contraband into Fire Country and then into the remaining elemental countries. The contraband would be shipped to Wave Country from outside areas that were less strict on shipping. The contraband included drugs, weapons, and anything else that was banned and that Gatou could profit from. The reason for acquiring Wave had been to use it as an unrestricted port and storage area since restrictions and checking of ships for contraband had become much more common at ports in the larger elemental countries and it was hindering Gatou's smuggling.

Plagueis cared little for the bridge or Gatou's plans and had done nothing to further instigate the villagers but he hadn't done anything to help them either. After much meditation he came to the conclusion that the situation could work to his advantage and could be used to test a few of the kinjutsu that had been acquired from the Scroll of Seals.

Plagueis had already purchased and gathered a large amount of the materials, resources, and machinery that would be required for repairing the ship but lacked a good staging area. Wave Country could not provide what they needed for the next stage of the plan. The country was of fisherman and had no trained workforce or anyone that could be of much help to him. The ground of the country had a very high water table and was rather marshy which limited the use of an underground structures for hiding the ship and creating what they needed. Using his new found wealth and possessed body, Plagueis had started looking for a good location for a hidden facility for the ship and in order to work in private.

Gatou didn't have a spy network or really any kind of information network but he had made numerous connections in organized crime. Money was not a problem and Plagueis had found a very intriguing place to set up their operations. It was very isolated from the rest of the elemental countries, it had a dictator that was apparently low on money, and from what he found out, it was more technologically advanced than any other country.

He had already talked to the dictator of the country to set up arrangements for moving there and providing money in exchange for sanctuary, privacy, resources, and manpower. While the fusion reactor would be built by Naruto and himself, the substance that would seal the hull of the ship would need to be created and it required the building and operation of a small chemical plant. Further talks between himself and the dictator would proceed in the coming months and Plagueis would move his operations from Wave to the new country.

In addition to his search for a staging area, he had also started using Gatou's money to find other information and items. Plagueis started looking for any stories or tales of how ninja came to be or how they came to the planet. No one on the planet knew of the rest of the galaxy besides himself and Naruto but that didn't mean that he wouldn't find some old tales or creation stories about something that resembled a star ship.

As of yet he had found very little. It was obvious to him that some kind of colony ship brought humans to this planet, probably several thousand years ago. There were too many colony ships that had left the known galaxy in search of a better planet over the years to know when it had set out or where it had come from. In the time since then, the humans of the planet probably forgot about technology and the rest of the galaxy. However, he found no mention or knowledge of the existence of a ship. That could have meant many things. It could mean that the ship left and headed back to the known galaxy or that it was destroyed, crashed or perhaps that it was just forgotten about.

Plagueis had found information concerning the Sage of Six Paths which was a mythical or perhaps a real person that first discovered the secrets of chakra and taught others. He had been interested to know more and perhaps when this person, if they were real, existed. Time periods for when the person existed ranged from between five hundred to nearly a thousand years previously. The oldest records that Plagueis could find on any subject were around six hundred years old which was likely due to the state of the ninja of the lands. They had been warring between villages for a hundred years and between clans for longer than that. Such fighting usually left gaps or destroyed an entire history of people, especially if they could only record it on paper scrolls. Paper just didn't last very long unless it was kept in the optimal environment which was more than could be expected.

Plagueis had also looked for information on the Biju and discovered more knowledge than Naruto had learned in the academy but not enough knowledge to be that useful. He found only a few people in history had been able to control the tailed beasts and they possessed special powers to do it or were jinchuuriki but it was unknown exactly how they controlled the beast sealed within them. He did find that the tailed beasts had been split up among the larger ninja villages and knew that they were either sealed in an item or inside of a person. The only way it seemed that Naruto would ever be able to control the creature sealed in him was with some kind of special bloodline that he didn't possess.

From meeting the beast inside the seal, Plagueis knew that the Kyuubi was sentient and very intelligent. Naruto didn't possess any ability with mind control beyond persuasion and mind tricks so it wasn't likely that he would be able to control the creature with the abilities he had. While Plagueis could control the minds of others, he wasn't sure that in his current state he could ever control the Kyuubi. The only thing that could be done concerning the vulpine creature was to leave it in it's cage and let the seal hold it back. Plagueis had no idea what using the creatures chakra would do to Naruto or how it would affect his Force powers. It was possible that the chakra would stop him from using the Force at all considering how powerful it was and how it would likely repel the Force.

Despite the restrictions on rank, Naruto had already looked through the jonin section more than once but there was quite a bit of information in that section and it would take more than a few brief break-ins to collect everything. Naruto was already trying for the special jonin rank and would take the exams during the next chunin exams which was in six months.

Their plans had been furthered with the take-over of Gatou Shipping but in the interest of taking advantage of an opportunity, Plagueis wanted Naruto to get all of the information that Konoha could offer. Konoha was the only storehouse of knowledge that they could get their hands on at the moment. The other villages were out of the question because of issues with distance and the fact that breaking into another village would be infinitely harder than stealing from Konoha.

Getting up from his chair, Plagueis walked to one of the large windows in his office and continued to think of the current situation while staring at the ocean view.

The only other 'storehouses' of knowledge that they currently had available to them were people. Several people in the village were well noted for knowing a cacophony of techniques such as the Sandaime, Jiraiya of the Sennin, and Hatake Kakashi. Orochimaru was also one of these storehouses, and probably the most appealing because of his ambition to collect and learn all of the jutsu in the world, but he was no longer a part of the village.

In order to access these other repositories of ninja knowledge, they would need either luck or to create a situation where it would be possible. This was exceedingly difficult however as each person on that list was not to be taken lightly. Plagueis knew it was improbable that Naruto would ever encounter a situation where the drain knowledge technique could be used on the Sandaime without ANBU forces coming down on him. Jiraiya was just as unlikely as that person was never near the village and hadn't been for years. That left Hatake Kakashi as the only person of the group that could be put into a situation where he could be captured or knocked out and information could be taken from him.

Plagueis knew that the situation in Wave could be used to their advantage in order to lure the copy ninja to a trap and access the supposedly thousand jutsu that the man had apparently copied with his sharingan during his lifetime. The eye itself was also of interest to him and although he could take the eye, it would be just as easy to get a small tissue sample without alerting the owner that anything was wrong.

Looking into the reflection on the glass window, Plagueis both heard and saw the door to his study open and the cloaked figure of Naruto enter.

In Konoha, Shimura Estate

x-x

Shimura Danzo sat at the desk in his study while he looked over different reports on many different topics that concerned the Leaf Village. His right eye was exposed as he read the reports and the red eye did its job to copy all of the information so that he could remember it later. It was one of the many advantages that the dojutsu granted him.

His mind traveled on a particular train of thought as he looked through all of the information on his desk and sifted through all that he knew pertaining to Uzumaki Naruto. He hadn't always been keeping such close tabs on the container of the Kyuubi. It wasn't until the boy started moving through the academy at an accelerated pace that Danzo had become more interested. While he did want the container trained into a weapon he would not make any moves until he was Hokage.

His current thoughts on the Kyuubi container had started out very differently when the information first came to him, and at that time he had no idea where it would lead his suspicions. His Root forces had been secretly looking for the Raijin and the Nidaime's scroll since it was stolen. They hadn't been looking for the actual object as he didn't have that kind of manpower but they had been looking for any rumor or mention of the legendary blade. A sword so unique and flashy easily caught anyone's attention and people would talk. The current user of the blade should have been passed around by word of mouth but in all the years since the blade had been taken, nothing about it had ever reached his ears.

It was never mentioned and no one seemed to be carrying it or using it. That fact was rather odd considering just what the blade was. It was possible that whoever had taken the blade had taken it to be part of some private collection and that was what Danzo had believed at the time.

Some time after that incident, a genin was killed in the village. The crime was obviously the work of a professional as no evidence of any kind had been left at the scene and many things about the crime were suspicious. The Sandaime had never managed to figure out just what had happened but his mind worked differently than Hiruzen's did.

Murder or assassination was only performed for specific reasons. It could be frivolous emotions like jealousy, hatred, love, or even for revenge. It could have been just a mission hired by someone that wanted the genin dead or because of a cover-up. However none of these reasons made any sense. The genin was a nobody in the village and would likely have remained a genin for life. He had no hobbies, no enemies, only basic techniques, never been on any important mission, never angered anyone, had no connections in the village, and knew nothing that would have been any importance to anyone. Only the final reason for killing someone made any sense if the incident was not some random event by a disturbed individual.

That reason was personal gain.

While the teammates didn't gain anything, or the sensei, or any other ninja in the village, one person gained from the death of Tsurugi Misumi and that was the academy student that took his place on the team. Uzumaki Naruto was placed in the open slot right out the academy and within a year was already a chunin while working on better missions with a more experienced team. From what he knew, the boy was ready to take the special jonin exams and would when the next chunin exams came around in six months.

It was only a theory at the time and he had dismissed it as purely conjecture and grasping for a connection that wasn't there. It was equally likely that it was luck that had gotten the container that position, but a lack of other killings since then had left the theory as plausible and with the other information he put together since then, the theory has become a likely truth.

Not long after the genin's death, the Scroll of Seals was stolen right from under the Hokage's nose. The person what was likely to blame for the theft was left without any memories or the scroll which was also what had happened when the Raijin and scroll were stolen years before. A jutsu that was capable of erasing all memories from an individual could be very useful and according to his Root ninja Fu, who had been a very accomplished member of the Yamanaka clan, it was not something that was very easy to do and even his clan didn't possess a jutsu that could perform those effects while leaving the person's brain unharmed.

Similar to the Raijin, his Root ANBU had investigated outside the village for any mention of the scrolls but again found none. No one had claimed responsibility or gloated over the theft. It didn't really make sense as he knew there should have been some mention of the scroll. A logical explanation for the lack of any information on the theft of both scrolls and the sword was that they had never actually left the village. Whoever had stolen them hadn't left the village because they were a part of it and were examining or keeping the stolen items. It took time to come to this conclusion though and by that time the container had already been a chunin for more than a year.

He wouldn't have suspected Uzumaki Naruto if it hadn't been for his earlier suspicions concerning the death of the genin. 'It makes sense that a person wanting to push forward in rank, would want the items that were stolen for themselves.' had been his thoughts on the matter and he had copies made of all the boy's records to look through for any anomalies. He still received regular updates on the boy's missions and any mention of Uzumaki Naruto was quickly brought to his attention.

He looked through record after record and did find several things. While in the academy, the chunin instructors had sent letters to the Hokage which were followed with meetings. The letters were almost exactly the same word for word concerning the boy's academic success and the recommendation that Uzumaki Naruto should be skipped ahead a grade. Once was not suspicious but happening three times, with nearly the same reasoning and wording, was.

Looking through the dates he had also discovered a dip in grades around the time of the first incident in the village. Skipping ahead, he had found an even larger dip in grades when the genin was murdered. The dip was large enough to push Uzumaki out of the head of the class. It also meant that the boy wasn't placed in the standard group for the rookie of the year which the Sandaime always favored.

These occurrences were good enough for him, so he placed his best sensor to secretly keep tabs on the boy to confirm those suspicions. Due to having many other missions for the foundation, Fu had not been able to keep a constant tab on the container and Uzumaki also went on many different missions outside of the village that his Root member could not safely follow.

For the last six months, Fu had been giving his weekly reports from his observations. The Root ANBU reported initial trouble early into those six months as he was spotted following the container and had to back off to a safe distance. Apparently the container possessed a keen sensing ability that Fu was not sure about. It didn't seem to depend on chakra and had a limited distance. This also meant that no other person besides Fu could keep proper tabs on the boy without getting caught. Normally a sensor could sense another sensor but that was not the case. Fu was able to sense that he had been sensed but not that Uzumaki was a chakra sensor. He also reported that the boy's chakra felt 'strange' which was the only way that he could put it. Each person's chakra felt different which was how people could tell others apart but Uzumaki's felt slightly different from everyone else.

It took several months for Fu to be able to find anything incriminating. When Fu reported that the container was able to create shadow clones, that had been the all the information that he had needed to know that his theory was correct. The only thing he wasn't sure about was how the boy had erased the minds of the two ninja of the village and operated so carefully while seemingly untrained in such matters.

Fu also learned that two genin, one of them Hyuuga, were also periodically keeping tabs on the boy. Fu reported that the girl was interested in the boy's sword or that was what he overheard while eavesdropping on the pair.

He had been rather interested to hear Fu's report that the container had created a unique sword that stood above other swords and the kunoichi that mentioned this was the daughter of a weapons shop owner so the information could be credible. The sword was supposed to be 'insanely sharp' and amazingly crafted. While this was not that incriminating, it fit perfectly with the reports from the investigation into the death of the genin.

Since then, Fu had also observed that the boy was up to something and also that something was strange about the building that he lived in. When the boy entered the stairwell to his building, Fu reported that something happened but he couldn't be completely sure what it was. The only explanation he had given was the the container's chakra flickered for a brief moment in his stairwell and he also used a jutsu but Fu couldn't be sure which one.

The most recent development was just two days prior. The container had created a shadow clone to stay in the village while he himself had left and no mission had been given to him. Fu had immediately reported this and he told his subordinate to follow the boy and he had sent Sai along with Fu so that he could received regular updates. So far, he had found out from Sai's ink birds that they were following the container east and heading for Wave Country or the ocean.

He was very curious as to what the jinchuuriki of the village was doing leaving the village and where exactly he was headed. The only problem that he was having was what would he do with the information. He couldn't go to Sarutobi about it as that would reveal his illegal operations to the Hokage. The situation required a great deal of thought. A few of his other operations were put on hold so that he could focus entirely on this problem. 'What exactly is the Kyuubi container up to?'

Back to Wave Country

Naruto entered his Master's study and sat in the chair across the desk. He didn't have to wait long for the short man to look away from the window and focus on him. Using the Force, he could feel that Plagueis had a good deal to talk about with him and was trying to choose his words.

"Now that we have come to this stage of our plans, I feel you have waited long enough and it is time to reveal to you the entirety of my plans." stated Plagueis in Galactic Standard Basic which they often used to talk to each other. Moving away from the window, he started walking around the desk. Naruto was rather confused as he wasn't completely sure what his master was talking about.

Sensing his confusion, Plagueis continued, "My plans are far larger than just fixing the ship and returning to the galaxy, my student. Did you ever even wonder how or why I ended up on this planet?" he questioned and Naruto searched his thoughts and feelings for an answer.

"I never actually thought about it, Master." confessed Naruto after a short period and Plagueis nodded as he had already known that would be the answer. Naruto knew that he had lost his body and bits and pieces of information about his history from stories of his home-world and of the Sith. His student was very trusting and had never really questioned him about his motives or background. Naruto had only ever questioned him about what the galaxy was like and practically nothing about his own past. He knew that his student, while curious and inquisitive, was far more interested in training, learning, and the galaxy than what had led him to the planet.

"Perhaps I should start at the beginning..." and he paused for dramatic effect, "...I learned from my own master decades ago. He taught me everything that I know and then he passed on. I in turn looked for my own student and found one such student to be my apprentice." sensing Naruto's confusion he mentioned, "You were not the first student that I taught, you are the second. I taught my first student everything that I knew and shared with him all of my knowledge that he was interested in. You are very different from him, different tastes, different upbringing, and ultimately a very different student. After his training had been completed, he helped me to complete the ambitions of myself and the Sith who came before me of the order, which was to conquer the galaxy." Plagueis revealed and could feel the shock and surprise in his student.

"You will see when we get to the known galaxy that it is not always civilized. Crime, corruption, piracy, slavery, and many other problems are rampant through even the more civilized systems. As Sith, we seek to conquer the galaxy in order to bring order and peace to every planet. The current Republic that has been in place for nearly a thousand years is growing more corrupt everyday and isn't able to police its own borders or protect its people from threats. Even the Jedi are unable to do this." explained Plagueis and he could feel the understanding in his student.

"Plans of these can be very slow and take a very long time to complete. Many before me were unable to further the goals of our order. As you know, I enjoy learning and furthering my knowledge in any field. The more I became entrenched in my research the less I noticed changes in my apprentice. Therefore it came as a surprise that after completing my newest discovery in midi-chlorian manipulation, he murdered me in my sleep." Stated Plagueis as he competed his circumnavigation around Naruto and his desk. The shock this time was palpable and he could feel the anger in his student concerning what had happened.

"My apprentice destroyed my body and left while setting the reactor in my research building to overload. It was fortunate that my holocron was saved due to my implementation of Sith Runes in the area of my personal quarters and research area. The destroyed building was shortly after found by gun runners that were nearby and detected the explosion. They took my holocron along with several other items that I kept in a secret compartment in my quarters and continued their smuggling operations. I did not make any contact with them as I was still in the process or attaching myself to my holocron and did not count on one of them opening one of the sealed cases I kept the necklaces in. He was slowly possessed by the necklace and set an unknown course into the navigational computer. He then started attacking the crew. One of the crew killed him but was unable to stop the ship from continuing its course or making it back to the known galaxy as by that time, the ship was terribly off course. The ship was abandoned and it ended up running out of fuel in this system by chance. And that is how I came to be on this planet." finished Plagueis and he waited for his student to absorb all of the information he had just given him.

Naruto just sat quietly in his chair as he reviewed everything his master had just told him. To him, it was an incredible story. Naruto had never asked what had happened and thought it was because he didn't necessarily care about it at the time and didn't want to say or do anything to upset his Master. Plagueis had offered him things no one else had and he wasn't willing to cause conflict between them or inquire into his Master's past. He had only ever been concerned with fixing the ship and getting into the galaxy. Looking up from staring at the desk in front of him, Naruto looked questioningly at his teacher and wondered what else he was going to tell him.

Noticing his student had taken everything in, he continued once again, "During my time here on this planet I never expected to encounter such an interesting power and people such as these ninja, nor did I expect to take another student but I don't regret doing so. As I did tell you, I would like to go back to the known galaxy in order to obtain the proper supplies and equipment to study Chakra and your people but there is far more that I would like to do. I cannot seem to forgive or forget what my apprentice did and I still have one project that I left unattended back in the known galaxy which I will need to check on."

Naruto thought about what his Master had told him and wasn't sure how he fit in. 'I don't have any skill with experiments or research and really can't help Master Plagueis. I've never really thought about what I might do once I arrive in the galaxy. I've only thought about going there and seeing what there was to see. What more use can I be to him?' Naruto thought and didn't like where it was headed. Would he no longer be useful to his master?

"Therefore while I am working on finding a new body for myself and my research, I will need you to help me look into what my former apprentice is up to. Its unlikely but by now Sidious could be ruling a portion of the galaxy or at least setting up his own plans for taking over the galaxy. I will need you to work on pulling together resources and gathering intelligence until the time is right. My former apprentice is very gifted and does receive Force visions so we must not alert him to my continued existence or your existence until the time is right.

Sidious has no doubt gathered power and probably has an apprentice of his own that is older than you and has more training. He may also have gathered other forces that have been used by the Sith in the past. It is best to stay in the shadows for now until we know more about what he is planning and what plans are already set in motion. It is also possible that we will need to start gathering other people as well before we leave. Having a few more ninja might be helpful in the beginning and perhaps the method with which you managed to develop Force powers can be determined in time and the process completed with others.

Now, what were you going to tell me when you walked through the door? I could sense you had something else that you wanted to discus." finished Plagueis sitting in the chair and looking directly as his student with his sunglasses off to reveal his sulfuric eyes.

Naruto had to think about what he wanted to discus when he first walked into the room as so much had happened and been revealed since then. Remembering the information he had wanted to tell his master, Naruto began giving the abridged version, "I believe something will be happening in the village during the upcoming chunin exams."

Plagueis, or rather Gatou, raised an eyebrow at this as it might disrupt their plans. Originally, Naruto would stay in the village until he became a special jonin to get everything out of the library that he could. The examination to test if he was ready for the new ranking was scheduled to take place during the break between the second and third segments of the chunin exams. Naruto, as part of his chunin duties, would be a part of the chunin exams. They planned for Naruto to sneak out of the village during the chunin exam finals after getting everything from the library and perhaps even taking a look in the Hokage tower for other information, as the Hokage and most of the village would be distracted with the exams.

Questioning his apprentice, Plagueis asked, "How did you come by this information?"

"I gleaned the information from Kabuto and Yoroi when we met for our last team meeting. They were getting another genin to take the chunin exams with but their thoughts were concerning something that was supposed to happen during the exams besides the three stages. Orochimaru was also mentioned in their thoughts but I wasn't able to get anything specific." Naruto curtly informed Plagueis.

Plagueis sat back in the chair, closed his eyes, and briefly thought about the new development. It would be important to determine what exactly was going to happen as it could help or perhaps even hinder their plans. They planned for Naruto to leave the village without getting placed in the bingo books or having ninja come after him. To do this, he would use the kinjutsu in the scroll of seals to fake his death but as of yet, they didn't have a situation where Naruto might be killed by someone or something. This new development could provide what they had been looking for.

"Investigate and see if we can use it to our advantage, but don't get involved with Orochimaru if that person does make an appearance." ordered Plagueis as he was doubtful if Naruto could fight against such an opponent and knew his student might try and get into a fight he wasn't ready for. Though Naruto hadn't been using everything he had against Zabuza during their fight, Orochimaru was on a different level and even Plagueis didn't know exactly what kind of jutsu or methods the snake sennin employed when fighting. They only had what the bingo book said which was very little and it wasn't advisable to face such an opponent without detailed and reliable information. He also wouldn't be there to help his student if something happened.

"To the Northeast is the warehouse that contains all of our supplies and equipment that will need to be moved to the new hideout. It all needs to be sealed in scrolls for travel. The ship that I will be taking is docked nearby. You can put the scrolls on board. I have also procured the supplies that you wanted and constructed the item we talked about." stated Plagueis and Naruto nodded. Plagueis could feel the boy's anxiousness to go but there was still one thing to take care of first.

"In the mean time there is still much to do in Wave before I leave. You must return in a few months to further our plans. I will inform you then what will be happening and contact you when the time is right." stated Plagueis and with the conversation over, Naruto left to go to the warehouse.

Hiding out of what Fu had determined was Uzumaki Naruto's sensor range, Sai had already drawn several ink mice that had traveled the distance to the mansion. They were waiting for the return of the ink creations. Fu knew Naruto had entered into the mansion and was meeting with someone else. They didn't know exactly who the second person was and would have to find out later but he did know that it was a civilian and not another ninja.

By the time the mice came back, Naruto was already on the move and the ink creatures lost consistency on a blank scroll that Sai had. The ink formed into words of a conversation that was recorded by the creatures, but oddly it was all gibberish as if the two people had been speaking in a different language.

Fu frowned as he hadn't been able to get any closer than the distance they were at unless he wanted to alert the target. For some reason Sai's technique didn't work except for only a few words that were recognizable. These words included: Orochimaru, Kabuto, and Yoroi. Whatever the conversation had been between Uzumaki Naruto and the owner of the mansion was lost to them except for those words.

Deciding it wasn't a complete loss, Fu had Sai sent a message back to Danzo before they followed Naruto deeper into Wave Country.

"Zabuza-sama, the boy came back again. He doesn't seem to be heading to Fire County but somewhere else in Wave this time." reported Haku to her master. She had been keeping a lookout for the cloaked boy as Zabuza was very curious as to what the boy did for Gatou in Fire Country and what the short business tycoon was really up to. At one point he thought the man was going to take over the country but that no longer seemed the case.

"Follow him and see what he's up to." ordered Zabuza and Haku complied.

Glancing at the doorway his tool had just left, he wondered just what he had gotten himself into when he signed on for. They were safe from hunter-nin, the job wasn't difficult, and they were payed very well, but Gatou was nothing like he had anticipated. The short man seemed to have plans within plans about everything and he wondered what would happen by the time his contract was up.

Due to the size of Wave Country, it didn't take Naruto long to reach the hidden warehouse and small dock that his Master had built. They were well hidden from the ocean and few people from Wave Country went out to the islands that were the farthest from Fire country.

Moving to the warehouse, Naruto glanced at the yacht that was docked nearby and then quickly made shadow clones to perform the needed tasks. His Master had provided all of the storage scrolls he would need and his clones would just have to seal up all the items in the warehouse. The clones opened the warehouse door and Naruto's eyes widened at the amount of crates and other supplies in the warehouse.

While the clones went to work sealing up the large items into the sealing scrolls, Naruto went to the opposite end of the warehouse. He smiled at as he looked over the items that he had asked his Master to procure. After seeing the demon brothers, he had wanted a mask like they had which were rather difficult for Konoha ninja to acquire given that they were not sold in Fire Country. He wouldn't wear the mask all the time though as it could detract from his ninjutsu that were used by means of the mouth which accounted for a large portion of the ninjutsu that he knew. His master had also gotten him different types of wrist launchers for senbon and arm guards that he could later modify however he wanted or needed. Several weapons were also there that he knew his Master had found interesting, like the kusarigama, a medium sized folding fan from Suna, and an assortment of ninja pouches filled with supplies. The last items were blocks of chakra metal that were purchased at quite an expense and would be used to make his newest weapons.

Pulling out his own scrolls, Naruto had a shadow clone seal up the new items he had received while taking some of the chakra metal. He unsealed his tools and pieces of metal from the cockpit door of the ship that he had taken years previously. Walking over to the largest item that his master had gotten him, Naruto smiled as he looked at the furnace. While still requiring wood as a fuel source, the furnace would let him create his new weapons in secrecy.

One of his clones started bringing in wood that was freshly cut from outside and Naruto worked on starting the furnace. He could use the Force to increase the heat to what he needed and he had set aside the whole day to work on his new weapons as he had gotten a few days off from missions in Konoha.

Fu and Sai followed the Kyuubi container at a safe distance until he stopped. Neither Root ninja could see what Naruto was doing as they were far enough away from him that they couldn't physically see him through the thick groves of the area. Pulling out his scroll, Sai penned several mice and after the jutsu was finished, they scurried off in the direction that Naruto was in.

Naruto had already melted both metals that he would be using for his new weapons. They would be altered with alchemy in a similar fashion to how he made his sword. He wasn't sure if his newest set of twin weapons would have the same kind of bond with him that his sword did or similar abilities as his sword because they weren't swords and he wasn't sure if all of the Sith rituals would work exactly the same or not. He would have some kind of bond with the weapons but perhaps not on the same level as with his ninjato which was made the Jedi forging rituals .

Over the course of several hours, various things happened in the warehouse. His shadow clones slowly sealed and stored all of the items in the warehouse until it was empty save for the original Naruto, the furnace, and the tools he was using. Naruto progressed through most of the rituals he was using. The metals were combined with Sith Alchemy to create a single alloy which was then shaped with his tools and the Force. Naruto let himself be guided by the Force to create the unique objects and was oblivious to all other things around him. He never even noticed that his shadow clones had dispersed.

With each strike of the hammer and heating, the weapon took shape. As one weapon neared completion, the other was still just a fused hunk of metal and the same process would have to be used a second time to forge it as well. The piece of metal he started working on first had taken a donut or ring shape with four fins or teeth, one in each of the cardinal directions on the circular piece of metal. The entire width was less than in inch thick while the width of the ring was about four or five inches thick.

The diameter of the weapon was about two feet which was slightly smaller than a giant shuriken or windmill shuriken but enough that he was satisfied with how it was turning out. He had created the donut shape because that was how his Master had described the discblade to him and also because the altered metal became rather heavy and it was much lighter to create a donut shape than make it solid like a giant shuriken that only had a small hand hold in the center. Naruto also had to create the ring for the handle and two pieces to attach the ring in the center of the donut hole.

The metal itself was also turning red just like his blade did and as he created the razor sharp edge around the discblade, the edge darkened to black as well. As the first disc was finished, he created the ring and attachments for it and then put the pieces together. Examining the finished weapon he smiled and couldn't wait to show Master Plagueis.

Setting the first discblade aside, he reached for the other chunk of alloy and noticed that the heat of the furnace was dying. After a quick handseal, a shadow clone appeared and went off to get more wood while the original put the metal into the crucible and put it into the fire so it would start heating and melt again. Naruto was feeling tired but he wasn't about to let it stop him from creating the second discblade.

His eyes widened when he felt the false hunter-nin outside the warehouse. 'She must have arrive when I started working on combining the metals. I was so caught up I didn't even feel her.' he thought and he wasn't that concerned about it. The girl would likely report to Zabuza but the information would stop there. Who was Zabuza going to tell?

His clones hadn't noticed her because they didn't have any Force power being that they were not flesh and blood and created completely from chakra. Thus they didn't possess his life sensing ability and were not able to sense the girl who was currently on the roof of the building.

Fu and Sai had waited patiently for many hours to determine just what the jinchuuriki was doing. Coming out to Wave Country raised numerous questions, then a meeting in a mansion with an unknown person. Sitting in the trees and waiting nearly sixty meters away from a warehouse they weren't able to see what was going on while said jinchuuriki made an unknown item in a forge was definitely not what either thought they would be doing.

They couldn't go back to Danzo without knowing exactly what the jinchuuriki was making and they had been sending regular reports with Sai's messenger ink birds while several other ink creatures went to see the warehouse and find out what was happening. So far they had not been able to retrieve much information.

Everything in the warehouse had been sealed in scrolls and stored on a nearby ship but they didn't know exactly what items had been in the warehouse. The ship was close enough to the warehouse that they couldn't go without risking detection. Fu wanted to unseal a few of the scrolls and find out what was inside but he didn't dare get that close. There was also another person watching the jinchuuriki. Fu could feel a person that was much closer to the warehouse then they were and he wondered if Naruto could feel the person as well. Nothing about the mission was making any sense. Why come all the way our here? Was the jinchuuriki selling village secrets or working for someone? What was being made with the furnace? Who was the other person following the target?

Sai had sent an ink creation to view the other person following the target. If the picture that was drawn from Sai's ink creature was any indication, a Kiri hunter-nin was following the Kyuubi container. That made Fu even more confused as he couldn't figure out what Kiri would want in Wave Country or why they would be monitoring the Konoha jinchuuriki.

x-x

Haku sat on top of the warehouse and occasionally scaled the side of the building to look into the window to see what the boy was doing. She was very curious but also very bored. She had been in the area for several hours and it didn't look like the boy was completely done making whatever weapons or items he was forging. She had already spent time collecting some herbs and watching as the clones filled up the boat with scrolls of sealed items from the now empty warehouse.

She sighed as she watched the horizon. If she had known it would take this long and get this boring, she would have brought something to do. Deciding to pass the time by exploring more of the surrounding area again, she jumped off the warehouse in a different direction than she had already explored and glanced back at the building when she noticed something odd.

It was a white and black mouse that was sitting on the edge of one of the warehouse windows and appeared to be looking inside. The mouse was odd because it was outlined in black ink, almost like a drawing and looked fake. The mouse hadn't noticed her but was transfixed on what was happening in the warehouse.

Haku narrowed her eyes at the pseudo creature and wondered who had created it? There weren't any people in Wave besides herself, her master, the demon brothers, and the boy so it must be someone from outside the country. 'Are they spying on just the boy or Gatou as well?' she though.

Technically it didn't really matter as if they had found out that Zabuza was in the country, the information might reach someone that it shouldn't. She decided to let the boy take care of the situation, as she didn't want to be spotted either, so she tossed a senbon at the mouse.

x-x

Naruto's attention was instantly averted from his furnace to the sound of breaking glass. He grabbed his finished discblade and moved to the nearby window where he heard the sound. A small portion of the bottom pane was broken and along with the broken glass on the floor was a senbon and ink. From his life signs ability he could tell that the fake hunter-nin had probably thrown the senbon but where did the ink come from?

He had a bad feeling about the situation and ran to the door of the warehouse. His hands went into a single handsign and he created nine shadow clones that, along with himself mixed in, dispersed into the surrounding area.

x-x

"My mouse has been destroyed." Sai stated with in a monotone and Fu quickly realized that they had been spotted. "We need to leave." he stated and they both jumped into the trees and back the way they had come hours earlier.

Fu could feel the hunter-nin staying still in a hiding spot away from the warehouse while multiple clones of the jinchuuriki headed in every direction. He couldn't tell which of the clones was the real one and motioned to Sai that they needed a better method of retreat.

x-x

The real Naruto looked up as his eyes spotted motion through the breaks in the canopy of the trees. He pulled down his goggles and saw a large white bird, with a thick black outline to its shape, take flight with two people on its back. He didn't recognize either person on the creature and jumped to the top of the trees to take action.

He reached the highest point on the tree he was on and then hurled his new discblade. The spinning blade moved towards the bird and he adjusted the trajectory and speed using his telekinesis. The bird was moving fast in the direction of Fire Country but his discblade was catching up. Naruto didn't know was how well he could control the blade to hit the target or how far away the blade got before he would start to lose control of it. This was his first time using the real thing as he had only ever practiced in limited spaces with a giant shuriken.

x-x

Fu's eyes widened as he grabbed Sai and jumped off the bird before it was destroyed by some kind of large shuriken. There was no time to have Sai maneuver the bird as the weapon had come out of the sky above them. The shuriken tore through the bird with no resistance and as the pair of Root ninja fell, it came back a second time. Fu pushed against Sai which separated them enough enough that the shuriken flew through the space created between them. Both ninja fell into the trees below with a crash and the shuriken returned to its owner.

Fu stood on shaky legs as he got up from the fall. Nothing was broken but he had been bruised rather badly by the tree branches that he smashed through. Putting his hands into the ram seal, he sensed the surrounding area for the jinchuuriki. 'He's coming for us. I need to get to Sai and get out of here.'

Sai's signature was easy for him to find and he raced in that direction. He knew he couldn't get back to Fire Country with the container on his tail. While Uzumaki Naruto was only a chunin, his chakra reserves were higher than nearly everyone else in the village and he couldn't outrun someone like that over the water between the two countries nor on foot through the trees. It was over a day's journey back to the village, the container would outlast him and catch up. He needed Sai's jutsu to get back to Konoha.

'What kind of weapon can be guided from such a far distance without using any chakra? It had no wire attached to it and yet it was controlled enough to not only hit the bird, but come back a second time while we were falling.' he thought. Fu surmised that the weapon was whatever had been created in the furnace in the warehouse and knew Dazno would want to get one or want know everything about it. The weapon barely made a sound as it traveled and was better than any other tool he knew of for such distanced combat. Only his experience had let him evade it and save both of them.

The Jinchuuriki was closing fast but Sai was just up ahead. Coming to a stop on a branch, Fu looked down to see Sai sitting and waiting for him but by the way the boy was holding his arm Fu could tell it was likely broken. He was relieved to see that Sai had his scroll out and was already drawing another bird for them; though struggling as the broken arm was his writing arm.

Uzumaki was almost on top of them when Sai completed the jutsu and they were getting on the bird when something caught Fu's eye when he glanced into the direction the jinchuuriki was coming from. A reddish black object had emerged from between the gap in the trees and was heading right for them. It made little noise as it flew right at them and cut into the newly formed ink bird before they could take off.

The bird dissolved into ink beneath them and both were left standing on the ink covered ground. The shuriken curved back into the forest surrounding them and was caught by the cloaked figure that had just landed on the branch of a tree nearby. The figure said nothing but just looked them over, probably trying to determine who they were and what affiliation they had

Fu faltered for a brief moment as he wasn't sure what to do. He was unsure if any of his clan techniques would work on a jinchuuriki or whether he should even try to use them. This mission was never meant to include direct combat but he looked to Sai who was standing behind him with his scroll open and saw his counterpart had already finished drawing a few ink animals. A small nod was given and Sai used the jutsu which sent multiple ink tigers at the cloaked figure. Fu prepared to use his mind switch jutsu even though he wasn't sure it would work.

Naruto didn't stay still but slashed with the discblade to destroy two of the tigers and dodged the others while charging in to attack the two unknown ninja. Fu used the moment to execute his jutsu but instead of moving his mind into the boy's and taking over the body, his mind hit a solid barrier and bounced back to him. Disoriented for a moment, he was left open when Naruto struck him with the flat side of the discblade with a thud that sent Fu to the ground.

The moment Fu's jutsu failed, Sai put down his scroll, unsheathed his tanto with his working arm, and attacked. Naruto dodged the swing and kicked Sai in the abdomen. He wasn't trying to kill either ninja as he wanted information from them but if it came to it, he would kill one and spare the other.

While Sai recovered, Naruto delivered a swift blow to Fu that knocked him unconscious. Swinging the discblade again, Naruto destroyed the final ink tigers that had come up behind him and then knocked away a volley of shuriken from the second ninja. He stared at Sai and frowned. Using the Force, he pulled Sai toward him and cut the boy in half with the discblade but instead of blood, the body bled ink and then dispersed into a puddle of the black liquid.

Looking toward the ground, Naruto put his hand out and the ground broke upward under his Force power until the real Sai was pulled out form under the ground. Before the surprised dark haired boy had time to do anything, Naruto's chop had hit the boy in the neck and knocked him out as well.

A moment later, several of the shadow clones he created back at the warehouse arrived and tied the two unknown shinobi up for him. They jumped off toward his Master's mansion while the real Naruto went back to the warehouse. He still had a second discblade to create and his Master would decide what should be done with them as well as figure out who they were and what they were up to.

Back at Gatou's/Plageuis's mansion

x-x

Plagueis stared at the two tied up ninja before him. Both had chakra suppressing seals placed on them and weren't going anywhere. He had already gone through both of their minds, the older one's being far more difficult to access than the younger. The knowledge had been very informative. The older ninja, whose code name was 'Fu', had been following and keeping tabs on his student for several months.

The man who Naruto had been looking into, Danzo, had apparently turned the tables on his student and was getting far closer than anyone else at figuring out their secrets. It was an interesting turn of events and he was still thinking on what he should do. The two ninja before him couldn't be killed as that would cause much more problems for them and attract far more attention from Danzo. Although damage had already been done since they had come so far and seen so much. They had found out that Naruto left the village periodically and had some kind of connection with a mysterious person in a mansion and was creating something in Wave Country. The girl Haku had been seen but Zabuza had not been which was good.

Messages had already been sent and that couldn't be fixed but those messages barely scratched the surface of what was really happening and what Naruto was really involved in. The two ninja before him were also an opportunity. Plagueis now knew far more about Danzo than Danzo knew about him and his student. The location of the Root ANBU Headquarters as well as detailed information about its members was now known to him. 'This Danzo does a good job of working in the shadows and keeping those from suspecting him but his results leave something to be desired.' he thought as apparently Danzo had sent his Root ANBU on numerous missions in order to protect the village but most of those ended in failure.

However, the man's continued interest in his student might get them discovered or at least part of their plans discovered. With the new information and with the two sitting in front of him, Plagueis believed that he could hinder Danzo's efforts. The older ninja in front of him was the primary person involved with spying on Naruto and if he controlled that person, then Naruto wouldn't need to worry about being discovered doing something incriminating. The younger ninja was of little use to him but if both didn't return too it would cause Danzo to look much harder at what Naruto was up to, which was something that they didn't need.

Despite Danzo knowing about Naruto's trip to Wave Country, there was nothing the man could personally do about it. He couldn't go to the Hokage to tell the village leader about Naruto without admitting to treason. The Hokage would want to know where the information came from and proof which Danzo couldn't provide without admitting that he still had a secret group of ninja that worked behind the Hokage's back and were not under his authority. Whatever information that Danzo had and whatever educated guesses the man could make concerning what Naruto was up to was only useful if someone else could prove it. The real problem was that Danzo might be able to get someone else to start looking into Naruto or would act on his own as he knew from Fu's memories that Danzo wanted to turn his student into an emotionless weapon.

As of that moment, he had no idea what Danzo would do with the information that had been acquired on Naruto. That was the real problem and situation that had to be dealt with. Danzo apparently had obtained a sharingan eye that could hypnotize people to his will. That meant that just about anyone in Konoha could be under his control or at least put under his control. The eye wasn't nearly as versatile as his own mind control techniques though, and Danzo's eye could only be used once per day on a specific person concerning a specific matter.

Looking to the two unconscious ninja, Plagueis came up with his own plan on how to deal with the situation. He would use his own mind control technique on them and have both of them spy on Danzo as well as having the older one provide limited or false information on Naruto's activities in the village. Using his mind control he could have them create a story to tell Danzo about what had happened since their last report. If Danzo kept getting more curious or made plans to do something, then Naruto would have to act. He didn't know if his student could face an opponent like Danzo as he had no idea what the man's techniques and abilities were. None of his own ninja had seen him fight or train so it was possible that Danzo was completely out of shape as a ninja or that he was just as dangerous or more dangerous than Zabuza.

In any case, the decision over what to do with Danzo would have to wait but Plagueis was interested in learning more about the sharingan and gaining Danzo's knowledge. The old warhawk was now high on his list of people to use Drain Knowledge on, probably just below Hatake Kakashi, who was the first name on that list. The thought reminded him about his coming plans concerning Wave Country which would take place in a few months. He would need to meditate further on that plan and figure out the exact details.

Getting up out of his seat, Plagueis went to the two ninja and began the process of putting both under his control and giving them detailed instructions. The process would be completed by the time Naruto came back later that night with his finished discblades, which he was very interested to see.

Konoha, Two days later

x-x

When Naruto returned to Konoha, he wasn't sure what to expect. He had been caught and on some level he thought perhaps ANBU would be waiting to take him to the Hokage. He was under a henge like he always used and had used a mind-trick on the guard to not ask any questions and let him enter without seeing any identification.

Two days earlier he had returned to his Master's study to find that the two ninja were gone. He had asked where they were and Plagueis had told him they returned to Konoha. He was surprised at first but his master knew what he was doing so he didn't question it. Plagueis informed him that both were under his control and had been working for Danzo as well as spying on him for quite some time. He was informed about the existence of Root and that something might have to be done in the future.

With the mind control, the two Root ninja would only report to Danzo what Plagueis had told them to report and leave out all other details. They would also be used to spy on Danzo to keep their plans and activities safe. Naruto left shortly after that and knew he would be returning in a few months to help his Master leave Wave Country.

Naruto wanted to go with his Master to the new hideout but he still had too many things to take care of in Konoha. He needed to prepare the ship for travel. There was still a great deal of knowledge to acquire from the ninja library. He now had to watch out for Danzo and anyone else that was trying to find out information on him. As a chunin he had to work on the upcoming chunin exams all the while getting everything ready to leave, and making sure he wasn't caught in the process. It was a long list of tasks ranging in difficulty and it was definitely going to keep him busy for the next six months.

His eyes once again looked to the Hokage Monument faces where his hideout was. A lot had happened this week and he was still trying to take it all in. He still couldn't believe that he had never wondered or asked what Plagueis planned to do once they left the planet or how the ship had come to crash on the planet. He had been so focused on the goals that his Master talked about, he never considered the motivation and reason behind them. Besides exploring the galaxy, he hadn't contemplated much about what he wanted to do once they left.

He couldn't help but wonder what his Master's other student was like. 'Why did he betray Master Plagueis? Why does he refer to his first student as an apprentice and not refer to me the same way?' Those were both things that he thought about as he walked towards his apartment.

Making the usual switch, his real self headed to the hideout while his clone headed to the apartment. After traveling through the secret entrance to the hideout, Naruto walked into his workshop area and unsealed all of the new items that he had gotten. He didn't feel like working on creating or modifying something at the moment and went over to another room that had all of the jutsu that he had collection.

He had nearly mastered the five elements and knew quite a few jutsu but he wasn't that interested in learning any more at the moment. It seemed like he never needed all of the jutsu that he knew or even a quarter of all the jutsu he knew but given time he would learn all of the jutsu he had amassed. Even if he never ended up using all of them it was useful to know them just in case he found himself in a situation where they would be useful to him. His vision quickly passed over the scrolls that he had stolen and his eyes stopped at the cube holocron that was sitting with some of the scrolls. It was the jedi holocron that he couldn't access and he always wondered what secrets it contained that he could never obtain.

There were a few Force powers that he was working on but again he didn't feel like working on that now. He thought about making a trip to the ship but he wasn't willing to risk it being discovered. It was quite surprising to him when he discovered that he was being followed and especially when Plagueis revealed that he was followed by one person off and on for a whole month without him knowing. The reason for this was due to his large chakra reserves. They were so large that he couldn't suppress them completely and a trained sensor could apparently find him very easily.

It was irritating to know that he was so easy to find and follow. His life-signs ability had a short range of only a hundred feet or so and was nothing compared to the distance that an experienced chakra sensor could achieve which was more than a kilometer. The problem could only be solved in one of two ways, or at least those were the only solutions he could come up with. The first solution was to work exclusively on training to suppress his chakra to such a degree that he could escape detection. That was a difficult solution as even using the Force to try and suppress his chakra as much as he could, did not fully suppress it. The second solution was to find an alternative method to suppressing his chakra. He had a feeling he could figure out how to accomplish complete suppression of his chakra by using fuinjutsu and he set about looking through the scrolls he had with fuinjutsu information that were copied from the library.

Even if his chakra was completely suppressed, he could still use the Force and his weapons to fight. Once he got off the planet, he really wouldn't need to worry about his chakra that much as Force sensitive individuals couldn't normally sense chakra. Plagueis theorized that a Jedi could sense the presence of a regular ninja because of the void created from the chakra acting as a barrier to the Force but not the chakra itself unless specifically trained and attuned to sense it. A jedi that could sense life-signs would be able to sense a ninja but they wouldn't feel that different from any other person in the galaxy. Naruto's chakra allowed the Force to flow through him so he wasn't a void in the Force like every other ninja. Plagueis could sense when chakra was used or if a jutsu was being used but he could not pinpoint a person or find someone based on their chakra. Of course even that marginal ability to detect chakra was after numerous years of being around Naruto. It was possible that no Jedi or Sith would ever be able to find him based on sensing his chakra. It was because of this that he didn't feel it was necessary to work on suppressing it because it wouldn't be very useful when he left the planet and possibly would never need to worry about suppressing his chakra ever again.

As the possesion will not last to long before Gato's body breaks down what will plagueis do then, steal all of Gato's accounts, or perhaps take control of his whole empire. Also what about Zabuza and Haku, as long as he has naruto do all the talking and not reveal himself, they could still theoretically work for plagueis. Zabuza probably would not mind as long as he gets paid good. Also they have more freedom in opporating outside Konoha, which would be usefull.

Response: I'm not sure how long the possession will last. Its very different from what Orochimaru does, in that Plagueis did not destroy Gatou's soul and move in. I guess it is similar to how the Yamanaka use the body switch technique. Gatou is still there, as is his soul, he has just been pushed aside and no longer has any control of his body so the possession might last for a while. I thought about having Zabuza and Haku continue on in the story but I'm not sure about it. Gatou does need someone to protect him where the next hideout is but I'm not sure what Zabuza will do. In canon he was building up money to take back kiri but I have no idea how much money he had or if the money Gatou was providing would be enough. They are also getting more curious and if Gatou took them with him, they might try to find out too much.

One thing I am curious about is will plagueis tell naruto about his parents. If he wants to completly ensure narutos loyalty he should tell him before someone else does. Someone else telling naruto when plagueis would not is the one thing I can think of that might break naruto's loyalty away from plagueis.

Response: I don't think he will tell Naruto because he can't determine how Naruto might react to the news. I could see a sith Naruto reacting rather badly to that news and perhaps doing something that would put their plans in jeopardy. Plagueis would only lose Naruto's loyalty if Naruto found out that he knew and didn't tell him. The only person who knows that information about Plagueis is the Kyuubi. I do plan for Naruto to find out but I haven't decided how he will react.

Reviewer: Newboy

I like how the dialogue is for the chapters. At this point there does not need to be much characer interaction as naruto does not have anyone to interact with. Perhaps later when he leaves the planet there can be more interaction, but at this point little dialogue between characters is a good thing. Besides, the dialogue between naruto and Plagueis is perfect.

Response: I had one person wonder why I didn't have more dialogue and your review perfectly answered that question. Thank you.

"He already 'procured' a good sized satellite dish at an earlier point and now he could use it in something."

You do realize that a satellite dish implies there is a man-made satellite orbiting the planet. At no point in the Naruto series does it even suggest that there might be anything man-made (or anything at all, for that matter) outside the elemental nations, much less outside the planet they're part of. So tell me, who would get an idea to solve a problem that doesn't exist?

In other words; no satellites means no satellite dishes.

Response: A satellite dish is a rather generic term when talking about any type of dish like that. I suppose the correct term for what I mentioned would be a parabolic antenna but who really cares or wants to get that technical about terminology, besides you that is. Satellite dishes/parabolic antenna are used in microwave radio transmission to send communications on the surface of our planet. There doesn't need to be a satellite in space and I was just using the term because everyone knows what it is and what it looks like. If I used 'parabolic antenna', it just doesn't give the same image as 'satellite dish'. Satellite dishes/parabolic antenna are used on Naruto's planet and are even shown in the manga. They were shown when the five daimyo's talked with each with other to decide what to do about akatsuki and I would also guess are also used for regular television broadcasts or something and not exclusively by the daimyo. So there are dishes that look just like satellite dishes that don't use satellites. They do exist, I was merely using a term that was a better description and gave a better image to the reader. So what if I implied something like that, its not like it was a huge error to the story like you make it out to be. If you look on Narutopedia, they even use the term 'satellite dish' to describe the parabolic antenna shown in the manga, so its not just me. Next time you want to critique something in my story, let it be an actual problem with the story and not something as pointless as terminology.

Will Naruto make another swprd? How man other styles swordmen ship form the Jedi/Seth? Will Naruto get close to Zabuza and Haku? Will there be FemHaku and will she be paired with Naruto or will there be no pairing?

Response: He won't make another sword but I do have plans for him to make a lightsaber, eventually. I think he might start working out a style for himself from the jedi styles. I don't know much about whether the Sith have their own styles as they mostly create their own unique style so I thought about Naruto doing that. I haven't decided about Zabuza and Haku. I already have a femhaku pairing in another one of my stories and I don't really feel that I want to have it in two of my three stories. I think their might be pairing but I haven't decided what that pairing will be but I am open to suggestions and have had several. At some point I might get around to making a poll about it.
