New chapter…

Meanwhile, Kyuubi who had finally realized what was wrong, through the link that the shinigami had decided to leave intact was remorseful for upsetting his son. He realized from the hurt and betrayal that Naruto was currently radiating, was caused by him doubting his son. Sighing , he ran up the stairs after the blonde, determined to apologize to him.

Naruto slammed into his room and was about to go take a shower when Kyuubi came in.

"Kit I'm sorry I doubted you but hell , in your position I would have doubted me too." He confessed. " Its not because I don't trust you in fact , its far from it. Its simply because I ruined your whole life by being in you and I thought for a split second that some part of you must resent me even a little."

Naruto turned and glared at him. " You know tousan you may have been alive for a long time but sometimes you're an idiot. If I had wanted you dead I would not have changed the seal in order to make sure that you wouldn't die when I turn eighteen. If that hadn't proven it to you then I don't know what would. You're my father and I wont allow you to die or to leave me." he hissed , his voice going completely demonic.

Kyuubi's eyes widened as he had never seen his son become so possessive of him before. A part of him understood as he had been a constant part of the boy's life and body for so long, they were much closer than even twins and Naruto must be feeling the change already. The same way he was although he would rather die than admit it to anyone else but his son.

"I'm sorry." he said simply and Naruto finally calmed down and smiled.

"Its alright dad." he said shaking his head. "Forget it. Now I'm gonna go take a quick shower then we can leave okay?"

Kyuubi whose real name was actually Acheron nodded. "Alright. I'm going to go find some food. It's been a while since I ate real food." he said grinning and then he left to go find food.

Half an hour later, Naruto went downstairs to find the others all packed and ready to go with Acheron eating with unadulterated pleasure. Walking over to Sai, he kissed him and then Kimimaro and Sora on the forehead before moving away.

"Alright guys, next stop is Suna." Naruto told them picking up his own bag pack. "We'll move on from their after settling in. Lets go into the backyard."

Everyone got up and walked out the door and after locking and resealing the house, Naruto used the Hiraishin no jutsu to take them all to Suna and into Gaara's office.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

With Gaara…

Gaara had been in his office with Kankuro and Temari doing paperwork when a flash of orange, yellow and black appeared before them and revealed Naruto and company.

"Hey Gaara-chan, Kankuro-kun, temari-chan." Naruto said grinning. "Sorry for dropping in so suddenly."

Gaara whose sand had been floating around in agitation settled down and nodded. "Uzumaki." he said as formally as always but those who knew him could see the small smile on his lips and his eyes lightened a bit.

"Hey Gaara-chan. Is that apartment I have here ready?" he asked. "we may be here for a few days."

Gaara nodded and stood up. " Yes it is. Who are all these people?" he asked.

"They're our family Gaara-chan but I'll fill you in later as soon as we get to the apartment and its secured." Naruto told him.

Gaara nodded and then allowed Naruto to use the Hiraishin to take them there. When they had all settled in and secured the apartment , Naruto turned to Gaara and introduced all the people he didn't know. When he was done , he filled Gaara in on all that had happened and then sent out Nebula and Kyron to go shopping for groceries.

"So what do you plan to do now?" asked Gaara.

"Well since Pein doesn't know that Madara is dead yet , I think I'll use it to my advantage. I have already retrieved all the information I needed from his mind and I have the locations needed as well as their plans. I'll have to say , it will cut down the time drastically and we may be able to finish this mission in under a month or so. Add to that about another two to secure a few alliances, take out a few high level threats and I'll be where I need to be. I'll leave tonight with Neji to do a little recon before deciding how to take out the other members. I'll take dad with me to be on the safe side however." naruto said seriously as he pulled out a sheet of paper and handing it to Sai.

He had designed a technique that allowed him to transfer his thoughts or images to another person and that was what he would be doing with Sai who would naturally draw it all out for him. For the next half an hour they did this and when they were all done, they had the maps of the three main hideouts. He also added their bank account numbers to the list. When he was done he got up and then went to his bedroom and wrote a few letters. When he was done , he sent them off and then went to sleep.

With Kakashi…

Kakashi was not having a good day. He had woken up this morning to find Iruka already gone and while standing at the memorial stone an hour afterwards, a few birds had felt it was necessary to add a few er…decorations to his hair. He had had to go home and take another shower before going to meet up with his team. He took one look at his team and knew that his day was about to get worse.

Meanwhile, Sakura had arrived and was currently doing her usual morning routine of making a fool of herself over Sasuke.

"Sasuke-kun would you like to go out for dinner tonight?" she began sweetly.

"No." Sasuke said glaring at her before turning his back in her face.

"Yo." he said as usual.

"You're late!" Sakura yelled as usual and was about to say more when she noticed that her teammates were pointedly ignoring her.

"What's our mission?" Sasuke asked trying not to sound to eager. He didn't want to not be home when Naruto did send him mail.

"Tsunade-sama has given us a few missions to do in the village today." Kakashi told him. " We have to teach at the academy and also walk the dogs for the Inazukas after cleaning their kennels."

"THAT OLD HAG!" yelled Sakura. "WHY THE HELL IS SHE GIVING US THESE LAME-ASS MISSIONS!"

At that Sasuke turned to glare at her. "You lied to your family and got us into this mess about Naruto. This is your fault." he said coldly before walking off towards the academy.

The rest of the morning could simply be described as hell. The children had apparently heard all about their treatment of Naruto from an unknown source (Konohamaru) and they were out for blood as they were very big fans of the blonde. For the next few hours they played tricks on team Kakashi and made it as hard as possible for them to get anything done. When it was finally over Sasuke was seriously reconsidering ever having children and he was actually sorry for anyone who tried to have children with Sakura as she would no doubt be a lousy mother. Then the next mission was a nightmare as the kennels stunk and the dogs were a pain in the ass to walk. To make it all worse there were so many of them that they found themselves in the same position Naruto had been in so long ago, the landmines and we all know how that turned out. When they finally returned home , Kakashi was grateful. If there was ever a time that he missed Naruto it was now.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After the mission…

(at the same time that Naruto was in Suna)

With Sasuke…

He stormed into his bathroom and quickly undressed before stepping under the heated stream . It had been a long day and he was rather tired . After showering and washing his hair , he stepped out of the tub and after wrapping a towel around himself, walked into his bedroom. He was secretly pleased to find a baby kitsune sitting on his bed with a scroll waiting for him.

"Are you Sasuke Uchiha?" the cute little kitsune asked and Sasuke nodded. "Naruto-sama told me to give this to you." it said putting a delicate paw on the scroll.

Then it poofed away and Sasuke eagerly picked up the scroll and saw that it was sealed with a blood seal. He frowned and wondered where Naruto had gotten such a thing put pushed it out of his mind and proceeded to open it. Upon seeing what it was he quickly dropped it. A rather serious looking clone of Naruto poofed out and stood before him. Sasuke gulped nervously as he watched Naruto stare at him from top to bottom with an expressionless face. Not knowing what to do , he decided to act the way he normally did when he was in public with Naruto.

"Hey Usurantonkachi." he said arrogantly.

Apparently it was the wrong thing to say as Naruto grabbed him and pulled him towards him in a swift motion. They were now touching from the chest down and it was all Sasuke could do not to kiss him. Looking at Naruto however, he knew that the blond would not appreciate it at all.

"What was that Uchiha?" Naruto asked in the dominating voice that Sasuke secretly loved and the brunette shivered.

"N-nothing." Sasuke whispered, knowing better than to piss Naruto off even more than he already was.

"You've been a very bad boy Sasuke." Naruto clone whispered in Sasuke's ear causing him to harden instantly.

"Naruto…I ," He began but was cut off when Naruto moved a hand around to his ass and squeezed it a bit causing him to gasp.

"Be quiet!" Naruto told him as he slid his hands down his naked chest to his waist and pulling his towel off.

Moving his hand down to grip the brunette's erection, he watched as Sasuke moaned and closed his eyes as he began to stroke him. He picked Sasuke up as if he weighed nothing and laid him down unto the bed before settling in between his thighs.

"Naruto!" Sasuke groaned out as Naruto licked a nipple while caressing his dripping erection. "I thought you were with that drone."

Naruto glared at him . " I am and that wont change. I want you both." He told him and moved away.

Sasuke sat up both frustrate and angry. "Why wont you leave him? You're mine ! You promised me that you would always love me!" he hissed .

Naruto moved to sit on the side of the bed and sighed. " I do love you Sasuke but I love him and all my other mates too. Just because I love them does not mean that I don't love you. In any event , weren't you the one who tried to end my life repeatedly? Where was your confessions of love then? You betrayed my trust Sasuke and went to our enemy, sleeping with him and being his perfect little pet for three whole years so don't complain about my choices now. You will either have to accept them or lose me forever as I will not leave them for you." he said coldly.

"I didn't sleep with Orochimaru." Sasuke lied, afraid that Naruto would not want him if he told the truth.

He was surprised at how fast Naruto had not only picked him up, but laid him over his leg in the perfect position for a spanking. His eyes widened and he yelped when a firm hand came down unto his naked ass.

"WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!"

"WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!"

"WHACK!WHACK ! WHACK!"

Sasuke screamed, it hurt and it was the first time that the had ever been spanked that hard before by Naruto.

"Stop please!" Sasuke pleaded, sobbing like a child. "I lied , I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Forgive me please!"

Naruto spanked him a few more times before finally letting up. "Why Sasuke? Why did you ever think that you could lie to me?"

"I-I didn't." Sasuke sobbed out pityingly. "I-I just didn't want you to leave me."

"But I didn't leave you Sasuke , you left me." Naruto reminded him. "You've been acting like a selfish child and I have had enough of it. Grow up Sasuke its not always about you. I am sick of always having to forgive your mistakes and suffer because of it. You have a choice now and it will be the only one I'll be giving you once and for all. Now Sai and my other mates are going to be in my life regardless of whether or not you like it. It's your decision Sasuke, you either accept it or this is truly the end." he told him as he allowed him to sit on his lap like a child, wiping away his tears with a gentle hand.

Sasuke snuggled up to him , silently seeking consolation from the person who had just punished him. For Sasuke in spite of everything, there really was only one choice for him. He would rather share Naruto than lose him completely.

"I want to be with you Naruto." he finally whispered. "I-I love you."

Naruto kissed him on the forehead. " I love you too Sasuke. I want you to know that you're not alone anymore in spite of what you think. There are many things you don't really know about me but you'll find out soon enough. We have been through a lot together and we both have many secrets. When I return from my mission we'll take the time to seriously talk to each other properly. For now , let us try to get to know each other again and see where we can go from here. You hurt me Sasuke and I while I'm still a bit angry with you, I'm giving you the chance to prove to me that your actually worth my time. Do you understand?" he asked.

Sasuke nodded . "Hn." he replied.

"What should we do now my naughty little raven?" asked Naruto looking down at Sasuke's rapidly reviving erection.

"I-its been a while." Sasuke said shyly, flushing a bit.

Naruto chuckled. " yes it has and I'm sure that it means that you'll be limping a lot more tomorrow Sasuke-chan." he whispered in his ear.

Nothing more was said for the next four hours and by the time morning came and the clone had dispelled itself after giving Sasuke a special ring and holding him all night, Sasuke ached in places he hadn't used in more than a year. Getting up , he limped to the bathroom and took another shower even though Naruto had cleaned him up before dispelling and blushed at all the hickies all over his body and lovebites. It had been nice to go to sleep and to wake up with someone instead of being alone in his home as he always was for a change. Naruto had also healed him but his muscles were still a bit sore and he knew that he would be feeling it for a few days. Putting on the jounin outfit , he left his home and went to the bridge to wait for his team. He had considered hiding his hickies but after seeing the large ones on his neck and the one behind his ear, he had given up on that idea. How like that possessive dobe to mark him all over. He rolled his eyes when he saw the pink haired monstrosity coming towards him and inwardly smirked knowing that this would be an awakening for her.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

With Sakura…

Things at home had been tense ever since her father had given her the ultimatum and she was still angry with him. She had gotten dressed this morning after pampering herself a bit and left her house, on a mission to seduce the last Uchiha. She hurried to the bridge , excited because no annoying naruto or that Loser Sai would be there to interrupt their alone time together. She saw him as she began approaching and inner Sakura squealed. She sauntered over to him and it was then she saw them. Inner Sakura screamed and she gripped the bridge she was standing next to so hard, she ripped out a chunk of the railing. Pulling herself together so as not to scare him off , she continued over to him and smiled.

"Good morning Sasuke-kun, how was your night?" she asked with a fake smile.

"Hn." Sasuke said smirking, not even Sakura could ruin his good mood.

"So what did you do last night Sasuke-kun and what happened to your neck?" asked Sakura , secretly wanting to find out who gave him those love bites.

Sasuke only glared at her and then returned to ignoring her. Unfortunately Sakura wasn't giving up.

"So who is the lucky girl?" She asked.

Sasuke turned and glared at her. "None of your business Sakura.."

Sakura continued to badger him about it and Sasuke continued to ignore her until he got tired of it. "Sakura shut up."

Something in Sakura snapped and she got angry. "Who the hell is she Sasuke-kun?" she asked angrily. "Who the hell is she and why her?"

This time Sasuke got pissed. "mind your own business Sakura. I don't need to answer your questions."

Just then Kakashi appeared. "Yo!"

Both of them ignored him and he watched in confusion then his eyes widened when he saw the Hickies on Sasuke before chuckling.

"So little Sasuke grew up ." He said perversely. "I'm so proud my Sasuke-kun, so proud. So who is the lucky girl? Is it Sakura?"

Sasuke turned to glare at him . " mind your business Kakashi and no its not Sakura." he said coldly.

"SO WHY DO YOU REFUSE TO TELL US WHO IT IS SASUKE?" Sakura yelled. "ARE YOU ASHAMED OF HER OR SOMETHING. I BET THAT'S IT RIGHT? I GUESS YOU WENT AND PICKED UP SOME SLUT! AFTER EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN THROUGH AND HOW LONG I WAITED FOR YOU , YOU WENT AND DID THAT. HOW COULD YOU AFTER KNOWING THAT I LOVE YOU!!"

This time Sasuke had had enough. He turned to her with sharingan blazing and said in a deadly voice. "listen to me Sakura , you have been running around making my life miserable for years and I'm sick of it. I've turned you down a million times and you still wont get it. Who I'm with is none of your or anyone else's business and if you ever insult them again you'll see the true power of this Sharingan do you hear me?" he hissed and then walked off.

Meanwhile Sakura stood there as if she had been slapped and then she began pulling herself together. In less than a minute , she convinced herself that this person was not only trying to take her Sasuke-kun away from her , but they were trying to poison his mind. Her Sasuke-kun would never speak to her that way. She would find that person and make them pay before kicking them out of his life, yes that's what she would do. With that in mind she hurried after him, apologizing for upsetting him like the good little fan girl she was.

Meanwhile Kakashi who was following behind them was inwardly chuckling. He had seen the slight limp in Sasuke's step and knew exactly what had caused it since he hadn't been limping after the mission the day before.

"So little Sasuke found himself a boyfriend eh?" he thought to himself. "And to make it even more interesting, he's the bottom. This is unexpected, I cant wait to see Sakura's face when she finds out that she lost to another man."

With that he pulled out his Icha Icha and continued on.

(While Naruto was in Suna)

With Hinata…

Hinata was training hard with Tsunade and learning even faster than Sakura ever had. Tsunade was so impressed with her , she cut down on her drinking just to get extra time to train her. She was determined to make her better than Sakura. Moegi was the same , she worked hard and although she would need more chakra control lessons, she was progressing rather well. Her training with Anko was also helping and her confidence was improving. She had done as Naruto asked and kept pretending to be her usual shy and weak self and was fooling everyone easily. Therefore, it was a bit surprising when her father summoned her as soon as she entered the compound. She hurried to go see him since she hadn't been given a chance to change or shower yet. Knocking on the door of her father's sitting room, she waited until she was told to enter and then obeyed.

She entered the room and greeted him and was allowed to sit down.

"I apologize for coming to you this way father ." She said in her normal shy voice and demeanor. "I-I have been training after my mission and have just returned home."

Hiashi looked at his daughter carefully, she had really come a long way and he knew that he hadn't helped her to get where she was at all. In fact he had done everything to make her weaker and he realized that now. She was now a jounin and she had managed to do it all by herself. She was finally someone he could be proud of even if she was still a bit too shy and although a part of him wanted to tell her how proud he was of her but after always belittling her and comparing her to her sister, he didn't know how. He thought of all the things that he had often said to her and it made him wonder if she hated him, not that he'd be surprised if she did. Although he would never admit it, he knew that there was a wall between the two of them that he had created and he didn't know how to break it down. It was so much easier for him to talk to Hanabi and he silently conceded that it would be since he actually listened to and acknowledge his younger daughter.

"How was your mission?" he asked.

"My mission went well father." she replied. "it was an s-rank mission. We did encounter five jounins from K-kumo , three of which I killed while Shino, Kiba and Akamaru killed the others but it was no problem. I-I was not a burden. I'm sure Kurenai-sensei will tell you about it in her report to you tonight." she told him quietly .

Hiashi was actually quite surprised. He hadn't expected her to be able to do that well and was secretly proud of her.

"Good job Hinata." he said and he watched her eyes widen before becoming wary and felt a deep pain inside him as he knew that he had made her this way.

He could understand why she was wary as the rare compliments he had ever given her had always been followed by him comparing her to her younger sister and it was no wonder she was that way. Unable to look at her any longer without feeling guilt , he decided to let her go.

"Thank you Hinata , you may go." he said dismissing her.

"Thank you father." she said bowing before leaving.

He watched her go thinking of all the mistakes he had made before sighing and going out to do what he always did, train Hanabi.

Cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc

Hinata entered her bedroom to find a small kitsune sitting on her bed and smiled happily since she knew who had sent it.

"My master told me to tell you to go and buy a katana from the store that tenten's father owns before opening it. He also says that make sure that you bring two water balloons and to make sure that you are completely alone in a training area when you do open it." it told her

She took it and thanked the Kitsune who poofed away after taking candy from her and she immediately hurried back out the door and off to the weapon's store that he had specified. Her father and sister saw her running out of the compound but none of them tried to stop her although they had wanted to. Hanabi didn't stop her because although she was curious she wanted to train and her father didn't because it would be odd for him to suddenly act like he cared when he never had before. The other thing was that Hiashi had seen the smile on his daughter's face and didn't want to take whatever it was that had made her so happy away, kami knew that he had already taken enough.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hinata did as he had ordered and then stood in a secluded training ground alone and unsealed the scroll. She was surprised when a clone of naruto in a mask similar to Kakashi with the exception of the fact that it also covered his hair standing there.

"Hello hime-chan." he said pulling her close. "Did you miss me?" he asked.

Hinata blushed and nodded. "H-hai ." she replied , too flustered to say much more.

"Good." Naruto said chuckling. "I missed you too. Now there is so many things I want to tell you but now is not the time. Today I'm going to teach you two katas using a Katana as I'm going to buy you a special one. This Kata I made specifically for you after watching the way you moved in the village. It is called 'dance of the awakening swan." " he told her and she flushed at the fact that Naruto would be teaching her and that he had done this just for her.

"O-okay Naruto-kun." she said blushing.

He chuckled again and kissed her cheek before pulling away. "Alright, lets begin." Naruto said and for the next five hours they trained until she had gotten the two Katas enough to practice them on her own. Then he took one of the water balloons from her and smiled.

"I am going to teach you how to do the rasengan and one of the techniques I created to counter the Byakugan called 'Byakugan's blindness' ." he said and she gasped.

"N-naruto-kun really?" she asked happily.

He nodded . "yes." and for the next hour he showed her how to do the first step, promising to show her the next one after she had mastered it. After that he held her and then they talked for a bit, him telling her about his other fiancées and about why he chose them as well as a few other things he felt that she needed to know. Then afterwards he walked her home and watched from a distance as she entered her home. Then the clone poofed away.

Hiashi watched his exhausted daughter hurry back to the compound at a late hour and frowned wondering where she had been and with who. Then he saw the Katana and his eyes widened. She had been training all this time? He decided to say nothing for now as he was curious to see what would become of all this.

Meanwhile Hinata ran to her room and took a long shower. When she was done she secretly smiled and looked at the list of techniques Naruto had given her to learn since she had told him that she barely used ninjutsu. She was glad that he cared enough to help her so much . It was much more than her father ever did and he was a wonderful teacher. She fell asleep that night with a genuine smile on her face and when Hiashi checked on her that night as he always did, he was surprised to see her still smiling.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

With Anko…

Anko was in the forest of death sitting with a few secret friends, she like them had just received a scroll from Naruto and was currently discussing their contents. They were all amused by the fact that he was still trying to protect them even when he was no longer in the village but they were also grateful as they owed him their lives, literally.

"So what do you think about his plans?" she asked one of them .

He smiled. " I agree with him completely. I only hope that I'll be doing a lot more than agreeing with him soon." said the young man in a sultry voice.

Anko grinned. "cant wait to get your hands on my otouto eh? Well that's fine as long as you don't hurt him cuz if you do my snakes will be getting a free meal." she said evilly and he knew she was serious.

He shook his head. " I would rather die than cause him harm as I love him. He is a wonderful man and I'm rather lucky to have him. If it weren't for him I would have died a long time ago." he said seriously.

Anko nodded. " me too. He has been protecting me from the council and watching my back for years now. He is the one person other than Ibiki , you and Kurenai that I trust completely." she said seriously .

He nodded. "Yes , he is truly honorable ." he agreed ,

They continued to talk for a bit longer before Anko left for the Dango shop. She had just been given one hell of a gift package from Naruto and she was in the mood to celebrate.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

(while Naruto is in Suna)

With Tsunade…

Tsunade sat in her office reluctantly doing paperwork when a small kitsune poofed in before her with a scroll.

"Hello Baachan." the kitsune said causing a vein to pop. "This is from nii-sama. Do you have any candy?"

She nodded and gave him one of the candy bars she now kept for such a purpose and he thanked her and poofed away. Then she opened the scroll and began to read.

"Dear Baachan,

I just want you to know all that has been happening since we last spoke. I now have the other jinchiruukis with me and have made them a part of my clan . Don't worry I'll handle any fallout about it personally but please keep it a secret for now. Also here is the update on my mission. A few hours ago I fought and killed Madara Uchiha of the Akatsuki. (WHAT!) Then I summoned the Shinigami with my own technique and he granted me a few special gifts.(WHAT!) I will tell you more about those at a later date. Anyway , I only have two more Akatsuki members to kill and will be doing so later tonight if I get the chance. That means my mission may be over much sooner than either of us had anticipated. With that being said I may be able to take that hat from you a lot sooner than planned. As soon as I am one I will be returning to Konoha so please begin getting things ready for me okay. Also I have a few other secrets that I have been keeping that I will tell you all about in person. I'm sure that some will shock you to death but I have a feeling that overall you will be quite happy. I also have a few guests that will be coming to Konoha and I have no doubt that you'll be shocked when you meet them as well. The seal on the bottom has Madara's head within it, please send the reward to all of our accounts equally and invite Iruka to your office so that he can read this as well. Do not inform the council of Madara's demise until three days has passed as we know some of them cannot be trusted. I have to go now, I will contact you soon.

Sincerely,

Kitsune anbu.

Tsunade was so happy and excited , she immediately sent Shizune to call Iruka as she finished up the paperwork. She was so pleased with Naruto at the moment that for once the paperwork wasn't annoying her.

(While Naruto was in Suna)…

With Haku and Zabuza…

In the land of waves…

They were in the forest training when a kistune showed up. They weren't surprised when it came over to them with a scroll in its mouth. Reaching down to take it, Zabuza thanked the little kitsune and gave him candy before turning to Haku. They had been looking for the last remaining swordsmen since they had pledged their loyalty to Naruto in secret after the bridge incident. You see naruto had used a special demonic substitution technique to switch them with modified clones just before Kakashi had plunged his Chidori into Haku and had saved both their lives that day. With Zabuza he had given him the kunai that he had asked for but it had been no ordinary Kunai as not only had it had a special transference seal hidden on it , but Naruto had used some of the Kyuubis chakra and forced it into the seal so that the minute Zabuza had touched him , it transferred into him. Since it wasn't a large amount it didn't kill him as it was just enough to heal his wounds after the massacre he had committed before it left his system and returned to the seal on the Kunai. He had simply used a powerful demonic genjutsu to make it look like he was still wounded and then had asked to bury them alone. Once there he had switched the bodies and saved them. Zabuza had quickly realized that not only was this boy more powerful than him even at such a young age , but that he was no ordinary boy and had quickly pledged his allegiance to him. Naruto in turn had given them a large sum of money and two rings with his insignia on them that had helped to open many doors for them afterwards. He had also given them various missions and tasks . He had told them that he wanted Haku as one of his mates and Haku had eagerly agreed as he had developed a huge crush on him. Zabuza had had to give up his sword to make it all seem more believable but Naruto had promised that he would get it back for him and had gotten a substitute commissioned for him in the time being. After that he and haku had gone around to find the swordsmen as ordered and had used the Land of waves as a base with the Tazuna as his contact courtesy of Naruto. Over the next few years Naruto had insisted on sending them money so that his lovely little Haku would be well taken care of as well as justsu scrolls for all of them to learn from. To top it all off Naruto had even gone as far as to send them some of his own self made techniques.

Zabuza opened the scroll and began to read.

Zabuza-kun,

How are you both? I am currently on my last major mission as an anbu black op agent and I am almost finished with it which means that its almost time. I have already killed four of the Akatsuki I am currently hunting including Madara Uchiha and will be going to take out the last two as soon as I find them. In your last report you told me that you had found three of them and was currently on your way to find the fourth since the others have already passed on. I have no problems with that of course and I have already attached her location to the end of this letter to make things go a bit faster. Now here are a few things that you should know. The first is that that little brat Suigetsu that stole your sword is dead along with his partners. I sent four of my demonic subordinates to retrieve the sword along with his head and naturally they succeeded. The sword is already being finished by its creator . It is already paid for but you must go and pick it up personally in order to finish the ritual. He will be joining you on your journey to Konoha as well and I already have a few kitsune demons there waiting to get you here when you are ready. You will come here in disguise of course until the big day but after that your nuke-nin days are over. Also , I hope that you'll make it in time as I'm sure you'll get a good laugh along with me at the people of Konoha. Tell Haku hello for me and that I love him and cant wait to show him the proper appreciation . Leave as soon as you get this letter . Have Haku summon a kitsune demon to open the portal to the three locations that you need to get to. Remember come to Konoha on time.

Sincerely,

Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze no kitsune,

Kyuubi no kitsune no yokai jinchiruuki

Zabuza looked at the directions to the last remaining sworsman er… woman and grinned. Naruto really had one hell of an information gathering network. He then handed the scroll to an eager haku.

"Its finally time Haku." he said as he gave it to the blushing boy.

By the time Haku was done he was literally vibrating with energy as he began to daydream. When he fainted a few minutes later with a massive nosebleed Zabuza chuckled and shook his head.

"I take it that it was a message from Naruto-sama." said Jayden Minagawa, swordsman number one as he walked into the clearing with Irobe Yankumo and Akihito Fujimiya.

Zabuza nodded. "Yeah it was. It's finally time boys. We just have to go get her, pick up my sword and the sword-smith and then go to Konoha. Can you believe that since we got his last letter he has managed to kill four Akatsuki members including one of the leaders?" he said and the other looked at him in awe at their leader.

"Shit that kid really doesn't waste time does he?" Said Irobe.

Zabuza shook his head. "Naah. Now lets wake Haku so we can begin to move out. She is a piece of work and you all know it."

The others nodded and half an hour later they left after informing Tazuna.

With Naruto …

Naruto , Kaname aka Kyuubi and Neji snuck into an underground base that they had gotten from Madara's memories. They had Neji using his Byakugan to lead the way and everything was going smoothly until they ran into Konan who hadn't sensed them yet since they were traveling by Shadow. Naruto had the other two wait as he did a few signs with his hand and a seal appeared. Slipping out before she could even sense him, he slapped the seal on her forehead and grinned.

"Hello Konan-chan." he said sweetly as he covered her mouth. "Now you will be a good girl and take me to Pein or I will snap your neck."

He allowed the seal to sink into her mind and then allowed her to begin walking back the way that she had come while he continued to travel via the shadow realm with the others. They followed her to a large room with three oddly shaped chairs that looked more like eggshells and saw the paths of Pein sitting there. It was then that he and the others slipped out of the shadow realm and attacked the closest three killing them before they even realized what had happened. Then upon seeing that his real body wasn't their Naruto used the seal to command Konan to go find and destroy it while Pein was distracted.

Pein glared angrily upon seeing them and Naruto grinned.

"Hello Uncle." he said evilly and Pein scoffed.

"I don't know who told you that boy but I'm an orphan." He replied.

Naruto chuckled and said. "So am I dear uncle." then he activated his eyes and Pein gasped when he saw that Naruto actually had the rinnegan. " still think we're not family?" he asked coldly.

"But how is this possible?" Pein said angrily .

Naruto chuckled . "Its called genetics dear boy but enough talking." he said activating his eyes to their fullest extent after removing the genjutsu he always wore on his eyes and pulling Pein into his own mind.

Pein looked around confused for a minute then looked at Naruto. "What is this?" he hissed and Naruto shook his head.

"So pathetic dear uncle." He replied. "Our doujutsu is the source of all doujutsus didn't you think that there had to be more than one level to it if it could create so many variations?" he asked.

Unlike Peins rinnegan that had all the rings in the same colors. Naruto's was different as each ring changed color with each level that was achieved. As he had already achieved for levels so far , there were actually four different colors, blue, purple, green and red so far. His only looked like Peins when he wasn't actively using them and they were in effect at their normal level as once activated they could never truly return to their original state.

In the world that he had dragged Pein in was a lot similar to the Tsukiyomi except that it was completely black and white and everything was in lines just like his eyes themselves.

"Now let me show you my favorite feature of these eyes." Naruto told him evilly.

He could hear Kyuubi fighting the other bodies that were getting severely beaten down but he didn't care at the moment. Pein shivered as he found himself in a desert walking alone. As he walked his footprints vanished and all he could see was sand . Then the scenery changed and he found himself standing in a forest. Then suddenly the picture warped as Naruto summoned the Shinigami.

"Sorry to bother you again so soon Shinigami-sama but I figured you might want this soul as well." Naruto said politely.

The shinigami chuckled and nodded. " I think that your beginning to become my new best friend." he said. " You really are an over achiever."

Naruto smiled. "Thank you. Would you like to enjoy the show before you take him?" he asked and the shinigami nodded.

"Yes by all means entertain me." he agreed.

Naruto nodded and for the next few hours Pein learned the true meaning of the word pain while the Shinigami silently wondered if naruto would agree to work with him part time as such a treasure should not be wasted. When he was done Pein laid broken and his souls in the Shinigamis belly and Naruto returned to the real world and noticed that the building had began to shake and would soon come down. Quickly severing his and Konans heads and taking their rings, he and the other two left via the shadow walk and got out. When they left however , the shinigami appeared before them.

"We have a problem." the shinigami told him. " The sealing statue is about to explode and the bijuus will die if that happens , they need to find a vessel and fast. If the bijuus die so will the humans as the balance will be broken in this realm."

Naruto thought about it for a minute then said. "I will not seal them in a newborn nor will I allow them to die either. Is it possible for you to seal them within me then immediately free them so that I will not die and they will be able to walk freely like father but not be a danger to this world?" he asked and the shinigami nodded, surprised and pleased by the boys decision.

"Yes it can be done but it will be painful. You will also be out for a whole week afterwards." he explained.

"That's fine ." Naruto replied. " I'm used to pain. Please seal all of them except Shukaku within me . I would much prefer it if you made him sane and then did what you did to me to my brother Gaara so that they will learn to work together peacefully from now on."

The shinigami nodded and then they got down to work. For the next few hours the sealings were done and Naruto now had similar seals like the one for the Kyuubi on his body. However they were all layered on each other so that no one would be able to tell the difference unless Naruto decided to inform them of it. When it was done they brought an unconscious Naruto to Suna and after explaining the situation to Gaara, the redhead naturally agreed in order to save his people and humanity on a whole and was laid to rest next to Naruto for that week. During that time Sai, Neji and Kimimaru were openly worried in spite of the reassurance of the newly partially sealed demons and Sora. Over all the Akatsuki mission had only taken them three and a half months instead of a year and they would be able to return home soon.
