Sasuke, Kiba, Lee, Sai as well as Team 10, Shikamaru, Neji, Choiji, Iruka(Yes he finally made jounin and Anbu) and Shino. Kakashi, Gai, and Anko were the hunters to lead the team. Every single one had a connection to the two missing jounin. Naruto was like a little brother to Iruka, Kakashi, and Gai. Sasuke, Lee, Kiba, Sai, Shika, Chouji, and Neji, and Shino all had missions with the blonds and Naruto had saved all of their lives during the war.

(Flashback)

Naruto looked at the group. "We are lossing this fight. All of you have families! Sasuke what would Sakura do if you didn't come home? Sai what about Ino? Neji what of Tenten, Temari Shika? Lee what about Shizune? Kiba what about Hinata? Iruka what about Ayame? Shino what of the clan without its head? Kakashi Gai, Anko what of your families? I will hold them off now GO!" He ran from behind the cover they all had and he began to throw shuriken and kunai then stopped. He created 10 clones and summoned Hamaribi. They 8 tailed fox looked at him.

"What is the mission Naruto?"

"To buy the others time to escape Hamarabi-chan. If it gets to dangerous I will send you back no arguing okay?" She nodded and lowered her head and Naruto climbed up. "Forward!"

(End Flashback)

They all remembered finding out he had the fox sealed within and they all remembered how he fought and killed 73 Mist ninjas in that war. He was captured and escaped only to stumble upon mountain. Then he came home and started drinking and getting drunk every night and Sakura or Ino would find him and clean him up only to have to do it again the next day. No one knew why he did it though. (This is why at the beginning he wakes up in Sakura's apartment.)

Naruto carried Ino as he ran to the rutter of the boat and changed course to head back to Namigakure. He sighed as they got on solid ground. He layed Ino down under a tree and began to build a shelter with the help of his clones. He gathered wood and built a lean to for Ino and covered it with leaves. He sat down as the clones dispelled after they completed their jobs. He laid his sword across his knees before he began to meditate.

Naruto entered into a sewage drain and approached the cage. "Kyuubi, why did you close the cage door?"

"Its not closed it just so people don't think that I took over."

"Okay. Well I need you to send a messanger to Konohagakure. Tell them Ino will be at Wave and I am going on my own mission. Tsunade will understand."

"Okay, I sent it to Fu's Bijuu, Chomei. He will get it to Tsunade."

"Okay." Naruto summoned a clone and gave it his orders. "Protect Ino-hime and get her to Wave. When you are done get some ramen then give her this scroll." He handed it the scroll that told Ino his mission. "Whatever you do DO NOT LET HER FOLLOW ME! Understand?"

"Uh yeah I got that boss." Naruto nodded before he sheathed his blade and stood up.

"Naruto, how stupid do you think I am?"

"I don't think your stupid Ino."

"Wait for the team and then Sakura and I will follow you and we will destory Mountain. We are at war now! Wave and Kohona as well as Suna and Mist maybe even Ami have no doubt mobilized their militaries to avenge us."

"Ino, you don't understand. Ami and Mist hate me for the wars and will attack Kohona. Gaara and Tsunade both know this. Ino Mountain is an Ataksuki village. Wave was formed as a way to safe guard Kohona and Suna from rouge villages and is the only village other than Suna and Kohona that touches Mountain. Only wave will be in this war. You can't get involved. My team, Team 10 as well as Kakashi, Gai and Anko are the only Kohona shinobi on active duty to have citizenship in Wave. "

"I am sure Zabuza will give Sakura and I it if we ask."

"Ino, I am begging you to just go home. I can't let anything happen to you!" As the two blondes argued they were oblivious to the jounin strike team sent to gather them. One drew his kunai and quietly took out the clone sentry. He didn't realize however it was a shadow clone and immediately set Naruto on alert with its death.

"INO GO RUN!" When she didn't move he pushed her over and turned to face the attackers. "FUCKERS YOU WILL PAY!" He laughed as Kyuubi's chakra laced with is own cloaking him in purple. Naruto disappeared from view and reappeared behind the first jounin. He stabbed the man in the neck with a kunai only to have it replace with a log. The jounin laughed before he dropped his henge. Two others stepped from the shadows. Each revealing their identity. Deidaria, Itachi, and Orochimaru.

"What Orochiamru? Tsunade and Jirayia and I killed you!"

"Silly child I am Imortal! No one can kill the unkillable!" Naruto realized he was out matched. 'I have to buy Ino time to escape.' He immediately opened his first 4 tails. He drew his Katana and dropped into his stance. "Well lets get this started then. I have a date to get to you know!" He charged at Deidaria to be greated with an exploding pidgeon. Naruto dived to avoid the blast but was unsuccessful and smashed into the shelter he had built. He stood up and looked down. A long thick branch stabbed into his chest. Naruto pulled it out and threw it impaling Dedaria's hand to a tree. He charged ready to kill him when a giant snake shot from the ground. Naruto dodged the snake's fang attack and jumped towards its head. He was met in mid air by the tail. It smashed into his chest and Naruto felt as his rightside ribs all broke and shot into his chest cavatiy. He coughed and a trikle of blood escaped his lips. He stood up and wiped the blood from his face. He smiled and charged again. This time getting caught in a genjutsu. He slashed himself across the leg in an effort to end the genjutsu and succeeded.

Naruto crouched trying to catch his breath when 3 exploding tags and two pidgeons approached him. He brought his hand to his mouth and took a deep breath. "Wind Style Wind Blades" The wind blades shot out of his mouth exploding all the objects coming at him and several caught the now freed Dedaria. Naruto sheathed his blade and prepared to release the innergates as Gai had taught him and Lee before the Suna invasion. Naruto felt as each gate began to break and screamed as he felt a massive burning sensation encase his body as he opened his eyes and charged. He redrew his sword and slashed across Dedaria's arm severing it. The one eyed blond screamed as he fell grasping his stump. Naruto charged at Orochimaru only to again be deflected by the snake. Naruto avoided the tail swipe and latched onto the tip. He stabbed a kunai into the snake and attached ninja wire and jumped off using the snake as a spring board. He shot at Orochimaru. He then threw the kunai up as he began to summon lightning. He knew what this attack did to him and he knew it was worth it.

Team 7 and 10 as well as Hunter team 3 approached the clearing where Zabuza stood with the Nami army. "Zabuza where is Naruto?"

Before the swordsmen could answer a very muddy Ino stepped out from behind him. Tears streaks cut throught the dirt and grime on her face. "Naruto is in the clearing ahead fighting Itachi, Dedaria, and Orochimaru!" Just as she said this there was a large bolt of lightning followed by a massive explosion leveling everything within a 2 mile radius. The shockwave approached the Nami army and the ninja braced for it. Even 3 miles away almost everyone lost their footing and got tossed back like a rag doll. Everyone who knew Naruto knew what this attack was for. Team 7 10 and Hunter 3 all charged into the clearing to find it void of any sign of life. When a lone figure approached.
