"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" Sasuke roared out as he unleashed his gigantic fireball from his mouth.

"Water Style: Water Fang Bullet!" Naruto countered, willing the water behind him to rise up from the stream. Forming four large spinning drills he sent them forward. The two attacks collided and cancelled each other out with a violent hiss.

A thick layer of steam filled the area did not deter the two opponents when the sound of metal ringing against metal rang out over the area. The sound of metal suddenly hit flesh, sending one of them out of the steam cloud. Sharply hitting the ground Sasuke quickly maneuvered himself to his feet, and panted sharply as blood freely ran down from his busted lip.

Immediately Naruto burst out from behind him and attempted to rake him with his claws. Acting on reflexes alone, the Uchiha ducked to the left, and then to the right, them with a sharp jerking movement he turned his left hip sideways, sending his right leg upwards. With a sharp impact the person he his was dispersed in a small cloud of smoke.

Swiftly turning at a one-hundred and fifty degree angle, he focused his chakra into the hilt of his kusarigama. The chain came alive and with intense focus he lashed it to the right, hitting Naruto square in the mask with the weight on the end of the chain, and dislodging it from his face.

Sasuke grimaced a little bit seeing his teammates face in that condition. From what he remembered seeing in the Higarashi's Weapons Shop, the day they went out for ramen multiple times, and his "revival" as he called it in Wave Country, the Sharingan-user mentally put together exactly what his teammate looked like under that half-mask of his.

Bus seeing the black-streaked blond shaking off his sudden dizziness Sasuke immediately went in for the kill. Pumping a small amount of chakra into his legs he sprinted at his downed teammate and raised his kusarigama up high. But the former full blond wasn't going down that easily, using his bent stature to his advantage he ran forward at the raven-haired pre-teen, suddenly bending his right leg he crouched down and swiped his left leg forward, kicking Sasuke's greeveless shins with his covered one sending him forward into the unforgiving dirt.

Spitting the soil out of his mouth Sasuke smirked, "Leaf Whirlwind huh? Well then let's add up the ante." throwing his weapon to the dirt the Uchiha pulled two what looked like light blue sweatbands from his wrists. Dropping them on the ground the formed several cracks where they landed.

Smirking under his masks Naruto raised his left clawed hand and responded, "You have read my mi-" a loud ringing sound within the area interrupted him, and he swore out loud. "Dammit! It's already been a half-hour?"

Visibly frowning Sasuke picked his weights up, and went over to the rock the damnable clock was resting on, and then turned it off. "Yep, a nice full thirty minutes. What a shame, the fight was just getting interesting."

Sighing Naruto wiped the sweat away from his forehead, muttering a curse to the clock he picked up the Hannya mask and stared at the black Leaf symbol painted on it forehead. For the past three weeks the two of them have been beating the living hell out of each other. Thanks to Naruto using the shadow clone jutsu, Sasuke and himself skipped out on a bunch of boring D-ranked missions. While the poor clones worked for up to several untold hours a day, earning up to five-thousand to fifty-thousand ryo per job, they were training to get much stronger. After the first day of playing hooky the two of them returned to Hiroshi's shop so Tomoko could sew the Uchiha crests into the back of his new shirts, and while they were at it she also painted the Leaf symbol on his masks forehead, just so he wouldn't get in trouble with any Leaf officials. The best part it was all free of charge. Then immediately after their business was done the two pre-teens went off to train.

Naruto, being the nice guy he was brought Sasuke to The Forest of Death where they could train unrestrained. It seemed to be working since the two mostly demolished several areas where they sparred and practiced their ninjutsu.

After pushing the alarm clock into his ninja pouch Sasuke picked up his kusarigama, he hated to admit it but while learning Kusarigamajutsu was a pain in the ass, it definitely had its uses. Learning from the scroll Hiroshi gave him the Uchiha memorized every bit of information from the scroll thanks to his Sharingan, but utilizing it was a whole other matter. He couldn't count how many times he fell flat on his ass or cut himself trying to swing it the right way, let alone the chakra manipulation to control the chain.

Cracking his neck Sasuke also reminisced about the ninjutsu he managed to learn. So far he had a good number of his clan's fire jutsu under his belt, and he nearly mastered the Chameleon Jutsu. The things he needed to work on however were simply increasing his strength, speed, and muscle memory.

But as much as he hated to admit it, those paled in comparison to his teammate. Every day the creepy mask-wearer seemed to get stronger, faster, smarter, his jutsu revenuer was slightly larger than his, he did something with that Shadow Clone Jutsu of his-something he was determined to find out, he accidentally-or purposely created an attack with those claws of his, and his kenjutsu was progressing to a good degree for being self-taught. But the only bright side he could visibly smile at was that his progress with the fireball jutsu sucked…dear Kami did it suck.

"Hey Sasuke we need to get out of here, the sun is going down!" Naruto shouted at him.

"All right I'm coming!" he hollered back at him.

Jumping into the giant trees the two pre-teens moved in relative silence. Though it was clearly shown that they weren't exactly happy with the outcome with their daily fight, thirty minutes was never long enough for these two, but Aoba who frequently guarded the gate urged them to fight for only thirty minutes a day, just so they wouldn't beat each other into a coma right in the middle of the deadliest place within the Leaf.

Jumping over the fence the two landed outside the "danger zone" as most shinobi called it, and immediately heard the familiar clapping hands of one Aoba Yamashiro. "I see you two had fun. Master any of your techniques yet?" he asked them.

"Not yet Aoba, I'm close to mastering the fireball jutsu." Naruto boasted.

"Mastering, yea you can barely let out a small burst of flame." Sasuke drawled out, dampening on Naruto's parade.

"Well excuse me, but breathing fire isn't exactly easy! I bet even Aoba here can't do that!" the mask-wearer pointed at the Special Jounin.

"Actually Naruto I can use that jutsu." the former Hunter ninja replied, immediately drawing baffled looks from the two boys.

---

While the two Genin were sending baffling looks at Aoba, Sarutobi and Kakashi were currently watching the two from the crystal ball within the Hokage's office.

"They are getting stronger Kakashi." Sarutobi commented with pride in his voice.

"I still don't approve them sneaking off during team meetings." Kakashi replied in a disappointed tone, "I'm glad they are bonding, but I do not know how long I can keep the ignorant act up. It was amusing to see them doing it after the first day, but now I think we need to put a stop to it."

"I guess you're right." The Sandaime agreed with him, "Tomorrow I have a mission that will include you joining up with team Gai."

"Does it have to be Gai? Couldn't it be with Asuma's team, maybe even Kurenai's?" the Copycat ninja complained, it wasn't that he didn't like Gai, in fact he was probably one of his living best friends in the entire village. But the man just made you want to snap at times.

Developing a smirk, Sarutobi told him his reply. "Kakashi the reason I'm only sending you with Gai is because I want the other teams to be in the dark. I always liked seeing the faces when people get surprised, and Naruto is the biggest surprise of all."

"So you want to keep them away from each other until the Chunin Exams?" Kakashi sweat-dropped a bit.

"Exactly, I'm all for comradeship. But I need to see how this all plays out; I feel that the rookies will not mind the changes. But there is just this uneasy feeling in the air, like something will change soon, and he will be the cause of it."

Nodding in response the Jonin said his farewell to the leader of the village and disappeared in a small cloud of smoke.

A loud knocking abruptly awoke Naruto from his peaceful slumber, bringing the back of his right hand to his face, feeling the hard material of his mask he groaned a bit, and slowly rose out of the couch he was sleeping on. His first view was the peacefully sleeping fox kits at the foot of the couch, smiling at the scene the black-streaked blond gently got his legs out from underneath them and slowly went towards the door.

Placing his hand on the doorknob he swung it open just in time for a fist to bash him in the face. While it didn't even remotely hurt, it did however bring a tick mark above his right eye. It didn't matter that it was Kakashi at the door, cradling his right hand, he growled like an angry animal. "What the fuck do you want?"

"Well someone is not a morning person." Kakashi responded half-heartedly. Squeezing his right hand a few times to try and dull the pain, he spoke the message he came to deliver-with some of his words thrown into the mix. "While I'm glad you're living somewhere other than the slums, can you please bring Sasuke out here?"

Grumbling about a bossy sensei Naruto turned his head to the left side and barked out, "Hey Sasuke wake up! Kakashi-sensei is here to see you!"

Immediately he was answered with several choice words, the raven-haired Uchiha survivor stumbled out of his room, openly glaring at the two of them. Too tired to even utter another word at the two he arrived at the door. "What is it?" he asked with a yawn.

"I just came to inform you that I accepted a mission from the Hokage."

"We always accept a mission from the Hokage." Naruto droned out in annoyance.

"Of course we do, but this one requires yourselves, and not your clones." Kakashi replied, causing both his students to gain shocked looks on their faces. "I expect to see you both in the tower in thirty minutes tops, there you will receive the details along with your teammates." waving them a lazy good-bye their Jonin sensei disappeared in a small cloud of smoke.

"He knows." Sasuke deadpanned.

Naruto absentmindedly nodded. "We need to get dressed or we're screwed."

---

If there was a record for getting dressed these two broke it. Disregarding their armor pieces, their weapons; minus their kunai and shuriken pouches along with a few other things, the two of them bolted out of the apartment and shut the door with a slam.

Bolting through the roof tops they ignored the howl of the wind, the gawking nature of visitors who never saw shinobi before, and the awed faces of small children. Currently rampant thought were racing through their minds, how did Kakashi know they were ditching team meetings? When did he find out? And most importantly for how long? He didn't seem to be upset about it, but like he said 'look underneath the underneath', so they quickly came to the conclusion that he was pretty mad at them.

"Son of a bitch!" Naruto suddenly shouted out.

"What's with you?" Sasuke demanded.

"I think I know how he figured us out."

"How?" the Sharingan-user implored.

"The Hokage's crystal ball." the Kurashagan-user replied, "I remember when I was little, the old monkey used it to spy on what I suspect was the woman's hot springs section."

Sweat-dropping and his right eye twitching, Sasuke asked the obvious. "So the Hokage-"

"Is a pervert, and has probably been spying on us since day one." Naruto responded, "I can't believe that little detail slipped my mind."

"You're busted dude!" Ishikawa busted out laughing within his mind.

'Not helping ghost!' the former full blond snarled out at him.

Sasuke was about to respond when they arrived at their destination, but Naruto seemed to be too far gone to do any sort of listening for the time being. So after walking past the secretary the two of them bounded up the stairs and sprinted towards the Hokage's office. Naruto grabbed the doorknob and tried twisting it, only the thing would not budge, he tried putting chakra into his hand only to find to his horror that it was literally sucked away. Repressing a snarl he brought his right hand up and started rapping on the door.

A loud buzzing sound and one open door later, the two were confronted by the pink-haired fangirl that was supposed to be their teammate, whose expression took on a shocked look at seeing Sasuke's new outfit, their eye-smiling Jonin sensei, a spandex-wearing Jonin along with his mini-me carbon copy, a kunochi they seriously thought had a weapons fetish, and an amused Hokage. The only person they did not recognize was a Hyuga; who the guessed was Team Gai's third teammate. He didn't look all that special while wearing a tan khaki shirt and brown shorts combo, but what the two found odd was that his entire right arm and leg were covered in white training tape.

"Are we late?" Sasuke panted out.

"Actually you are right on time." Sarutobi smiled at them, then the smile disappeared and the God of Shinobi reared his head. Bringing his right hand into the B-rank cubby, he pulled a scroll out and firmly placed it on his desk. "Now here's the mission outline. You eight are to travel to the east until you reach a town called Tanamaki, it's a small trading town with a population of about two-hundred and sixteen people. They have been encountering bandit troubles for nearly three weeks, so far there have been four deaths and three women have gone missing and are presumed dead by now. I want you to gather as much information as you can on them, and then you will take care of them."

Gulping at the implications the Hokage just made, Sakura shakily responded to the order, "H-hok-age-sama, surely you d-on't mea-"

"Yes Sakura, I am ordering you to kill or capture any bandits you come across. I do not care on how you do it, but I want it done." Sarutobi firmly said to her, "I want all of you to leave in exactly one hour, no later!" tossing the scroll to Gai the old Kage ended his talking and waited for a response.

"Understood Hokage-sama, our business should be done within a week tops." Kakashi said to him, seeing the powerful shinobi nod, both Gai and himself ushered their respective Genin teams out of the tower and onto the streets.

"All right I need all six of you to listen up." Gai barked out, completely freaking out his on again-off-again students who were not completely used to this side of the Green Beast of Konoha. "I want you all to go home and pack a weeks' worth of supplies. I don't want any of you dilly dallying, you are to get what's needed and wait for us at the eastern gate. Is that understood?"

Receiving several vigorous nods the Jonin dismissed them.

Ten minutes later both Naruto and Sasuke entered the apartment building, and immediately went straight for their gear. The raven-haired avenger went straight to his bedroom and grabbed his backpack leaning against his bed. Setting it on his covers, the Uchiha dived under his bed and retrieved two demon wind shurikens, quickly inspecting them for any damage he nodded in satisfaction and stowed them into his pack. Going to his closet he pulled out a few pairs of shirts and pants and threw them onto the bed, immediately after doing that he went over to his dresser and equipped the things he really needed.

First he snapped on his arm guards, then he slipped his chakra weights on his wrists and ankles. Immediately feeling forty pounds heavier he honestly wondered how Naruto could stand wearing them twenty-four seven, but he also thanked the heavens that Hiroshi had them in stock-it cost a pretty ryo, but even he could not deny its usefulness. After getting used the weights, Sasuke placed the metal cestus on his hands. Flexing his right hand first he felt the restriction of the tight black leather and the clinking of steel. Flexing his left hand he nodded in satisfaction before grabbing his kusarigama, wrapping the two foot long chain around his waist sheathed the covered blade into the special loop on his belt.

After he quickly stuffed his clothes in to his backpack he walked to the living room, and was greeted by Naruto-fully dressed in his battle gear, tinkering with the skull of his sword. Raising an eyebrow Sasuke was only glad he had that deadly weapon sheathed as it scraped against his floor. Finally the former full blond sighed in relief and actually started unscrewing the top cranium of the skull off. He then preceded the bolt to the fridge and pulled out a small jar with big bold black letters that read 'Medical Cream' on it. Taking a spoon with his from one of the drawers, his teammate then sat down on the couch and began to scoop the healing cream into the skull.

"Well that's going to haunt me for a few days." Sasuke dryly commented.

"I'm surprised your face doesn't haunt you every day." Naruto cheekily replied.

"Very funny dobe." the broody pre-teen managed to growl out, "Are you sure you're going to need all of that stuff? It's just a simple bandit camp."

"And our last C-ranked mission involved us simply guarding a bridge builder, and remember how that turned out." The mask-wearer retorted humorously.

Wincing a bit Sasuke brought his right hand to his left shoulder and rubbed it. Even now he could feel the phantom pain from Haku's unmerciful senbon needles riddling his body. That was something he didn't want to go through ever again, after all if a simple C-ranked mission could turn into an A-ranked one, then what are the chances this B-ranked mission could turn into an S-ranked one? That very thought brought shivers down his spine, though he could not tell if it was from excitement or fear.

He was brought back to reality when his teammate threw several ration bars at him. "Dammit dobe, warn me next time you throw stuff at me!" the brooding avenger barked at the mask-wearer.

"Now where's the fun in that?" Naruto asked as he scooped the last of his herbal cream into the skull. Tossing the empty container and spoon behind him, he heard the telltale sound of them clattering into the sink. Without missing a beat he put the top of the cranium onto the skull and twisted to the right, firmly locking it in place.

"All right, we got weapons, spare clothing, and our rations. Is there anything we're forgetting?" Sasuke asked.

Bringing his right hand to his masked face, Naruto hummed several times. He then felt a sudden weight pounce on his lap, and look to see Benihime's innocent brown eyes staring at him. "Oh crap, who's going to look after the kits?"

Palming his forehead, Sasuke mentally berated himself for forgetting about the fox kits. "We could hire a Genin team to look after them."

"Like hell we're doing that!" Naruto quipped, "Have you seen any foxes around Konoha?" hearing no answer he elaborated exactly why there weren't any, "That's because many of them have been hunted, because of a certain gigantic fox that nearly destroyed the village twelve years ago. Now imagine a Genin team in here while we are away for an entire week."

"I get it." Sasuke irritably growled out. "But then what are we supposed to do? Iruka-sensei is always gone during the day, Aoba is guarding the eastern entrance to the Forest of Death for twenty-four seven, and while the Higarashi's were nice people they just didn't seem to be the pet owning type."

Absentmindedly petting Benihime on the head Naruto nodded with each example his cousin gave him. There was just simply no one they could trust them to, "Unless…" using the power of the Jagan Eye he mentally asked her to go find her brother.

"Unless what?" the Sharingan-user asked.

"I know who to ask, and I think I know where they're at."

"Where?"

---

Fifteen minutes later Sasuke's right eye was violently twitching. The reason for this was they were standing in front of a medium sized building with absolutely no distinguishable characteristics. Normally this would not bother the Uchiha, but from his memories of Itachi he recognized this place was the Anbu Headquarters. That wasn't the only reason either; before they got to their destination he figured out exactly who they were leaving the kits with. "You have to be kidding me." he said to the black-streaked blond. "Out of all the people in the village, you're choosing Zabuza?"

"Correction, I'm choosing Haku. Zabuza is an okay guy, but I rather leave them in in a woman's hands" Naruto replied to his teammate. "The problem is I don't know where they are located, they are in an apartment near the Anbu headquarters that much I do know. But as much as I hate to admit it, I will need permission to see them, even if it's just for a minute to entrust these two to them." he continued before petting the purring bundles of fur resting on his shoulders.

"But what makes you think they are even going to take them?" Sasuke asked him.

"Because Haku's a girl, and teenage girls no matter who they are, or how much they deny it absolutely love cute little fuzzy creatures." the mask-wearer chirped happily, causing the Uchiha to fall flat on his face at his logic.

Laughing at the expression on his teammates face, Naruto opened the door, and walked up to the counter. Seeing nothing but a few pens and a bell, the black-streaked blond rang the bell and was immediately greeted by an old woman who seemed to have been in her late sixties with the thickest-looking glasses he ever saw in his entire life. "Hello ma'am I would like to know where Zabuza Momochi is currently being held."

"What do you want with him?" the woman's professional voice responded to him.

"I just want to ask him…well I want to ask Haku a favor before I leave for my mission."

"Oh yes, the B-ranked bandit control mission."

A surprised look came on Naruto's masked face, "H-how did you?"

"I've been working with the Anbu since I was eighteen young man, you would be surprised what I have to file in here." giving him a small smile him the woman took out a small piece of paper, quickly scratched several things down, and handed it to him. "Memorize the address and destroy it afterwards, you don't want me to lose my job do you?"

"N-no, never I promise it will get destroyed in five minutes." Naruto stammered, though it didn't help that a certain deceased Kamizuru was laughing at him.

"Good, I'll inform the squad guarding them to let you through. Complete your business with them to take care of your fox kits, and run to the eastern gate your mission barely begins in thirty minutes."

"What the?" remembering that he had the two on his shoulders, he repressed a sigh at his absentmindedness, "Oh never mind, have a good day ma'am." waving he made his way out of the building as the old woman smiled approvingly at his back.

"What a nice boy he is, even despite what's happened to him he's made leap and bounds since he graduated. Already he has stopped a traitor, saved an entire country; got four unique people to soon join our ranks, came back from the dead of all things, and is bringing Sasuke-chan out of his shell. That boy is going to do great things, don't you agree Kurohyou (panther)-chan?" the woman fixed her glasses on her nose as she turned towards the darkest corner of the room.

"Yes, Captain." a man wearing a panther mask agreed as he emerged from the shadows.

---

"I honestly can't believe you fell flat on your face!" Naruto held his sides as he laughed at Sasuke's angry expression.

"You seriously think I would believe that type of logic?" the Uchiha retorted. "I will admit that girls seem to love cute things, and the mysterious type, but there is no way she will be able to convince that monstrous man to keep them for a week."

"Sasuke if I have ever learned anything from Sakura, it would be one thing: Women are scary."

Letting his words settle with his cousin, the two made it to their former enemies' place of holding. The place looked like an average-looking building; it had no distinctive features other than white walls with brown trimmings.

Walking up to the door, the two pre-teens loudly knocked on the door. After the third knock the door flew wide open revealing a snarling man wearing a pair of gray pants and a black shirt, with wild shoulder-length dark brown hair that suited his fair face. "What the hell do you want!" he screamed at them.

Naruto had to mentally pat himself on the back for controlling his reflexes, and a silent thanks to Shinigami for his mask because his face definitely had the 'I'm the scared the fuck out' expression on his face. Sasuke however was not so fortunate; he let out one of the most unmanliest screams and jumped five feet in the air out of fright.

The angry man opened his mouth to continue screaming, but then a man looking exactly like him, only with smoother hair, beamed him upside the head. "Shut up Meizu, these two are obviously here for a reason."

"Dammit Gozu!" the man revealed to be as Meizu barked out.

"So the Hokage did take you out of prison, and here I half expected that you two were already on Kirigakure's chopping block." Naruto interrupted the twin's bickering at each other, "You can thank me later, but right now I need to speak with Zabuza and Haku."

'Thank him later?' the Demon Brothers, and Sasuke thought to themselves.

But quickly snapping out of their thoughts, the two brothers only grunted and let them into their "home". Just like on the outside of the house the inside was plain and dull. The walls were a dull white, and whatever furniture they saw was made out of steel, all in all the place had the feel of a prison.

"So the two of you finally decided to grace us with your presence." a rough voice alerted the two that they reached their destination, in what they though was the living room was none other than Zabuza Momochi. Sitting on the couch they saw that he didn't change much over the last three weeks, the only difference was that he was not wearing the training tape around the bottom half of his face and neck. But what he wearing was a white wife beater shirt that showed the bite scar on his right shoulder, and blue pants.

"Hey Zabuza it's been a while, how has life been treating you?" Naruto greeted one of the most infamous shinobi with a casual demeanor.

"Oh it's been just perfect. The minute we leave the Hokage's office we were taken to toe Anbu headquarters, got all our shinobi gear confiscated, given these crappy clothes, and shoved into this goddamn prison! Then days later these two bozo's are thrown in with us." the man angrily spat out his displeasure.

"Oh don't mind him, he's just upset that he's been separated from Kubikiribocho." a soft female voice announced herself. Turning towards the source both Naruto and Sasuke saw Haku walking towards them, wearing her sleeveless pink low-cut kimono.

Once again the Kurashagan-user was glad he had his Hannya mask, otherwise he would have been doing an excellent imitation of a fish-this was something he was going to curse his awakening hormones for.

"Anyways, what are the two of you here for?" Zabuza demanded.

Sasuke slapped his teammate on the back of the head, "He has a favor to ask of you, well Haku at least."

Glaring at the Sharingan-user, Naruto cleared his voice before turning towards Zabuza's surrogate daughter. "Sasuke and I are going on a long mission, the problem is that this was so sudden and well…" trailing off for a few moments he plucked the two kits from his shoulders and held them out towards her. "Would you mind taking care of them?"

Barely a second later the two fox kits were snatched up into Haku's arms, and like any girl who was holding a cute and cuddly animal, she was petting their fur, making cute noises at them, and pretty much going nuts.

"Haku, we can't-" before Zabuza could get one more out, she slowly turned her head towards him. Immediately the entire room dropped thirty degrees, killing intent erupted from her entire being, and her normally sweet face slowly became twisted and evil.

"Okay Haku, I think he gets it!" Meizu screamed from the corner of the room.

"We'll keep them for as long as you're gone, we swear!" Gozu continued from his own corner, on the other side of the room.

"Good then." Haku smiled in return, and the entire room went back to normal.

Gulping loudly Sasuke placed his right hand on his chest, feeling his heart racing from the fear he felt. 'Naruto was right, women love cute fuzzy creatures. And here I thought fangirls were scary, I cannot believe a woman like her could become so…evil.'

"Thank you Haku-chan, I knew it was the right choice to for you to do this." Naruto thanked her.

"Hold up, hold up!" Zabuza barked out before the two of them could even begin to back away. "We will keep them, but we have to know how long you will be gone, and what we should feed the little rodents."

Before Naruto could even shout out something stupid, Sasuke decided to play the peacemaker and spoke up. "We will be gone for a week on a B-ranked mission to take care of some bandits, and we've been feeding those two some strips of meat with water and some milk at times."

He got a smack in the back of his head for his troubles, "Too much information Sasuke! They only asked how long we will be gone, not the damn rank of it!"

"Shut up dobe! I just got a little carried away!"

"Yea you did, did it escape that duck-ass head of yours that we are being watched? We are in the building with The Demon of the Bloody Mist, and the Demon Brothers, let's not forget Haku with her bloodline to make ice out of nothing. Did you even think that the Anbu are bugging the place?"

Sasuke opened his mouth in response, and then closed it in resignation.

"Please, who are we going to tell? We can't even take a piss without those masked bastards listening to us twenty-four seven, I know your listening!" Meizu shouted within the room.

Closing his eyes the former Seven Swordsman of the Mist hummed for several seconds in thought. "A B-ranked bandit control huh?" speaking those words got everyone's attention, snapping his eyes open he continued voicing his thoughts. "Normally dealing with bandits is a high C-ranked mission, for it to be a B-ranked one tells me that this is not normal."

"What do you mean by that?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

"It could be nothing, but keep your eyes peeled. If this is what I think it is, then you could encounter a missing ninja. He's more likely a C to B-ranked shinobi, and could be others on the same level as well." taking a moment to drum his fingers against each other, he continued his thoughts. "If what I believe is correct, I advise the two of you to attack at night to catch them off guard, and be as silent as death."

---

After a few more minutes, and a few more pieces of information from both sides later, the two Genin bolted towards the eastern gate. But their minds were far from being peaceful, until Zabuza spoke up they honestly had no idea what they were in for, normally they wouldn't worry too much about it, but after the Wave mission their simplistic views were completely shattered.

It continued to bug them after they made it to the gate on time. It also didn't leave them when they stopped for the night at the half-way point, and even now it wasn't leaving them while they both were sitting near the camp fire.

Naruto himself was half-listening to the conversations around him, Sakura was trying, and failing at getting a date with Sasuke, Gai and Lee were shouting about youth, Tenten was busy examining for any defects in her kunai and shurikens, Kakashi was clearly ignoring everyone around him while reading his book, Sasuke was ignoring Sakura's pointless questions about his new choice of clothing and his weapon, and finally Neji was angrily staring into the fire.

Letting out a low sigh, he reached into his back into his ninja pouch and produced the black covered Bingo Book. The Genin flipped it to the first page and saw that it was the Grass Country section, shrugging he activated the Kurashagan to sear the words into his mind, after all he honestly didn't know what was going to happen during this mission, so he might as well prepare for the worst.

Nearly five minutes later he realized that is was too silent in the camp, deactivating his eyes, the black-streaked blond looked up to see everyone staring at him. A select few were giving him curious glances. A select few were giving him curious glances, another few were giving him curious glances, while one was not giving him a very nice glance. "Okay, I'll bite what's with the stares?"

Being the first one to talk Gai pointed out the obvious. "Naruto what are you doing with a Bingo Book?"

"Isn't it obvious? I'm reading it." was Naruto's smart-ass reply.

"Naruto the Bingo Book is issued by the Hokage once you reach Jonin rank, or join the Anbu." Kakashi was the next person to speak to him.

"When I escaped Iwagakure I found this in my ninja pouch-"

"Don't lie Naruto! Throw that thing into the fire or give it to Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura interrupted him with a loud screech.

"It was detailed in the report I gave to the Hokage, besides this thing will probably save our lives someday." Naruto continued without missing a beat.

"How so?" Lee asked.

"We could very well run into a Missing-nin, honestly aren't any of you freaked out about the prospect of running into someone like Aoi Rokusho, or Orochimaru?" he was bathed in silence after his rhetorical question. "I thought so, now leave me to my reading, there is this man named Kakuzu that seems interesting…damn he's old as hell."

"Naruto-"

"What!" Naruto snapped at the masked Jonin.

"Just give me the book." Kakashi kindly asked.

"I'm sorry sensei, but how about you kiss my ass. If you're worried about me trying to hunt these people down then don't worry about it. They are dangerous as unholy hell; I'm not that crazy enough to go after them." Naruto said with a little bit of contempt in his voice.

Before anyone could rebuke him at insulting his sensei Sasuke got up from his sitting position. Quickly crossing the camp he sat next to the former full blond and let out an impressed whistle, "This man's eighty-nine years old and still has not been caught. Guess he deserves the three-hundred and fifty million ryo bounty."

"It's that high!" Tenten loudly questioned before bounding over to them. Looking over the mask-wearer's broad shoulder her delicate eyebrows went above her hairline. "What did he do to earn that bounty?"

"Apparently after he failed a very important mission he was imprisoned, and after breaking out he killed the village elders, took their hearts, and stole their most prized forbidden jutsu. Plus with him being on the run for nearly seventy years it it's no wonder it's that high."

"Can you believe this Gai?" hearing no outbursts, Kakashi moved his head to where Gai was last seated. He could have sworn he saw a blinking outlined form for three seconds before looking back to see the spandex-wearing Jonin with the Bingo Book in his hands and flipping some pages, and then to his surprise handing it back to Naruto.

"Look at Kirigakure's section, they have more of their shinobi going rogue than any village." the super bushy eyebrow man said.

"Gai!" Kakashi shouted out in disbelief.

"Kakashi stop being so unyouthful and lighten up, that book is causing no harm to them." looking downwards he let out a shining smile at seeing them eat this information up. "In fact I'm thinking of asking the Hokage to add something like this to the academy." seeing his old rival about to sputter something out he asked, "Why are you so keen on denying them, do you hate the thought of them looking at the crimes of other men and women that much?"

It took several long seconds to answer, but Kakashi finally sighed and explained his reasoning to all those there. "It's just that…I want them to keep their innocence as long as they can. The life of a shinobi is not glamorous, before they reach our age they will see the atrocities and the soul breaking experiences that we have done for our village."

"Kakashi, I hate to break it to you but out of everyone here, only one is innocent." Naruto piped up from behind his book. "Tenten told me that her entire team took their first life when a mission went horribly wrong, both you and Gai; as you said have experienced and seen far too much, Sasuke here saw far too much carnage when he was eight, and you fully know about me." after flipping to the next page he saw the picture of Kisame Hoshigaki and began reading up on his crimes and known skills. "So please, don't baby us, it's insulting to think you think so lowly of our maturity." he wisely didn't comment on Sakura's lack of maturity, because that wouldn't get him anywhere in life.

"I think it's time for us to go to bed." Neji spoke for the first time that evening.

"I'll take the first watch." Naruto offered before closing his book.

"I'll relieve you in two hours then." Kakashi told him.

---

After waking up around eight in the morning, the two teams headed off again to Tanamaki the sun was still high in the sky by the time they made it to their target, the town was what they expected it to be-small, filled with unsold goods, and slightly depressing. Before they entered the two teams stopped on the edge of the tree line and came to a standstill.

"So this is our destination?" Sasuke questioned. "It certainly doesn't look like much."

"That may be Sasuke, but this small town is just as important as any other within Fire Country." Gai said to his semi-student.

"Everyone I need you to listen up." Kakashi spoke up, "The first thing we need to do is intelligence gathering. Ask what you can about the town and see what reactions you get. If you encounter any bandits, do not engage. Also remove your hitai-ate's, I'm going to need all of you to act as civilians on this one."

"Yea a man with a half-mask and another man wearing bright green spandex aren't inconspicuous at all." Naruto gave out a sarcastic retort.

Giving his student an eye-smile, Kakashi brought his hands into the tiger seal. And a small cloud of smoke later revealed him as a brown-haired civilian with average features and gray clothing. Barely a second later Gai joined him in disguise, appearing as a shorter, bald, and obese man wearing green overalls.

Several members of the team had to suppress their laughter at the ridiculous look Gai was supporting, and the shocked look on Naruto's masked face. But then they removed their hitai-ate's, though Neji just took the metal part from his black headband. Immediately following their respective sensei's demonstration they brought their hands into the tiger seal and did the transformation jutsu.

After the smoke died down it revealed Sasuke with sky blue hair, gray eyes, and all his weapons, armor and Uchiha crest missing. Tenten looked a little taller and older with a red Chinese style dress. Neji's eyes were now a brown color, wearing a pure white kimono, and looked to be around the age of seventeen. And Sakura had black hair and a fuller-looking chest. Lee however reached into his backpack and pulled out a yellow jacket, and a pair of orange sweat pants.

"Inconspicuous indeed." Naruto sighed before putting his hands in the tiger seal. After the smoke cleared it revealed him in his sexy jutsu form, however unlike the clothes he was wearing, he went with a violet kimono.

"Naruto! You dare use that perverted jutsu!" Sakura angrily hissed out, causing the members of Team Gai to raise their eyebrows in confusion.

"It's a disguise Sakura, unlike all of you I'm actually going to try and not stand out. Plus it's a known fact that many people underestimate women, and that's what I'm going for." the disguised blond hissed back.

The two got a slap on the back of their heads for their troubles, "Knock it off you two." Kakashi commanded them. "Gai and I are going to let whoever is leading this town know that we're here. After that we will start gathering information as well. Meet us back here at sunset so we can find out what we are up against." with a nod of acceptance from Genin, the two bounded off to their objectives.

The Genin soon scattered in different directions. Tenten went to explore the eastern side of town with Lee, Neji took the north side, Sasuke; who was definitely going to kick himself later, went to the west side with Sakura to find anything out under the pretense of a "date". That left Naruto himself to the south, a heavily wooded area.

As the disguised teen walked towards the woods he strained his ears to hear the whispers of the locals. His female form only formed a cute pout when he heard nothing but useless talk, rumors, and gossip. What really irked him were the perverted leers and wolf whistles from the random males, some even tried to hit on him, which took all his self-restraint to not do anything to them.

'Hey, Ishikawa you got a minute?' Naruto asked his residential ghost.

Hearing a yawning sound that made his right eyebrow twitch, the deceased Kamizuru answered him, "Of course Blondie, what's up? Oh my you're looking good."

'First of all I'm not a complete blond anymore, second shut up and then unshut up, and third you've probably been on a few bandit control missions, got any pointers for a rookie?'

"Well first of all I'm calling you Blondie because I want to, and there is nothing you can do about it." Ishikawa casually responded with a jackass grin, "Now for the second I've been on a few of those missions, ain't you lucky to have me?"

'Don't be an asshole, can you please just give me some useful advice so none of us die on this mission?'

"All right, all right little dude there are a few things that I did. On my first mission I stayed in that village that was being hassled for a week, gained enough trust to learn what I needed to know, and then I commanded my bees on the entire bandit camp to wipe them out."

'That is one option, but what about something that is more useful and faster?'

"Hmm well there was one mayor on the boarder of Earth Country and Waterfall Country, a real douchebag who I would have punched if the mission wasn't so important. Uh, anyways I summoned my bees and had them spread out a good fifteen miles out, after I got the location I went under the cover of night and eliminated them."

Frowning in response Naruto gave an important update to him, 'That's good and all, but I do not know how to summon, do you got another-'

"Hello beautiful." a nasally voice broke him out of his conversation.

Snapping his head upwards the disguised pre-teen realized that he was too far from the town, and wound up in the forest. Now in front of him were two men, one short and scrawny-looking with a hawkish nose, the other stocky, dumb-looking, and wielding a club in his right hand.

"Wha?"

"Taka, my turn?" the brutish-looking one asked.

"Don't take too long, I got to get back to the camp." the man revealed as Taka told him.

Clapping with glee the simpleton stomped forward the disguised shinobi. With a hidden grin Naruto did what any normal civilian woman would do, he screamed and ran, all the while calling for help. While the hawkish-looking man scoffed at the typicalness of a civilian woman looking for a knight in shining armor, the club-wielding man bounded towards his target.

After three minutes of hard running Naruto decided that the charade was over, finding the nearest tree he tripped over the most exposed root that he could find. While he did twist his ankle Kyuubi was already healing the sprained muscles, putting his acting skills together he skillfully played the role as the frightened maiden as his aggressor came towards him. The brutish-looking man had a big slobbering grin on his face as the disguised Genin scooted away; tossing his club aside he brought his meaty hands out in front of him to grab the front of the kimono.

Suddenly the woman in front of him grinned; bringing her hands in front of her a good amount of smoke erupted around her body. Then the sound of metal piercing flesh hit his ears, feeling funny the imbecile brought his eyes downwards to see a crimson demonic mask, and then nothing more.

Sighing in relief Naruto pulled Handanryoku from the deceased bandits' neck, and watched his body fall to the ground. "Fucking assholes, I will never forgive them for doing this." he growled out in anger. Swiping his katana downwards to rid it of the blood dripping down the blade, he sheathed it in its scabbard and put both his index and middle fingers in a cross position. "Shadow Clone Jutsu."

Puffing into existence the clone stood ready for orders, "Transform into that bastard and find the hawk-nosed jerk. Seeing that this guy is pretty much and idiot, just act like an idiot and dispel once you get to the bandit camp at a later time, but make another clone before you do it just not to arouse any suspicion."

"Got it boss." the clone nodded in understanding. After transforming into the brute he picked up the man's club, and went bounded off towards his companion with a stupid grin on his face.

"Well that certainly is a first in my book Blondie." Ishikawa commented, this time his spirit was outside of the Kurashagan-users body for now.

"It was not the way I wanted to do it, but now this mission will end sooner. And hopefully no one will suffer a fate like those before them." Naruto angrily clenched his fists at the mere thought of what these people did.

"Calm your anger young Padawan, remember you're with a team to take them down. Unlike me I was a Chu\unin when I took those camps down, and even then I had help with my summons, so I suggest you head towards town and transform into a different person this time." the dead Kamizuru told his killer.

Slamming his hands together into the tiger seal Naruto muttered out, "That doesn't change the fact that these people will meet their maker."

---

Meanwhile in town Sasuke was absolutely miserable. Once he got to the west side of the village he asked why the prices were so high, and listened around for any information regarding the bandit issues. So far he only got depressing sighs and nothing but rumors and speculation. But that wasn't making him brood in anguish, no it was his other teammate, instead of treating this mission seriously she was treating it more like a real date instead of the false one like he suggested.

Currently they were at a small restaurant, and was just picking at his dumplings, absently nodding at his teammates babbling about nothing. Suddenly he heard a dull screeching noise of a chair being pulled out, looking over he saw a red-haired teenager with violet eyes, and wearing a complete black outfit sitting near them.

"Hey! This table's taken bucko!" Sakura shouted at him.

"Yelling on a mission is not recommended Sakura." the red-head said to her.

"Naruto?" Sasuke whispered out. "What happened to that other version of you?"

"I had to ditch it due to some…complications." Naruto quietly answered. "I will tell you all the details at the ravenous point, but right now continue what you're doing; enjoy your 'date'." he snickered out, leaving behind a disgruntled Uchiha.

It would be a few miserable hours later when everyone met up at the entrance. No words were spoken when they all cancelled their jutsu to report their findings. The leaders of the group spoke first.

"This is what Gai and I have gathered from the leader of the village. For nearly three weeks these bandits have robbed around twenty merchant caravans, and there is an estimated thirty of them somewhere around the area." Kakashi reported to the Genin.

Neji was the next to speak up, "In the northern part of the village I went to the graveyard. I spoke to the men who care for the place; the four they buried were taken out by bladed and blunt weapons, so we can probably assume that some of them were former mercenaries."

Tenten spoke next, just to save everyone from Lee's report. "We found nothing. Everyone was so depressed and refused to talk to us."

Sasuke added in his own report. "I heard nothing more than gossip and the worries of what will happen to the town is this keeps up."

Hearing nothing but silence everyone turned towards Naruto who was standing still as a statue. His body rigid, his breaths deep, he seemed to be sorting something out. "I know where they are." he announced, and watched in delight as everyone's eyes widened.

"You encountered them? Naruto what were you thinking!" Gai barked out.

"It was not my intention to confront them Gai-sensei that was a mistake on my part." seeing his original sensei raise an eyebrow he elaborated, and did what he did best. He lied his ass off once again. "I was patrolling the south, but after receiving nothing but perverted looks and catcalls I decided to patrol the forest to find anything useful. Well I found something useful an hour out, in the middle of the road I encountered two bandits-they weren't in the Bingo Book if you were wondering." he said to calm any worries the Jonin were showing in their eyes.

"There was one man wearing a gray yakuta and a hawk-like nose named Taka, he's a co-leader of the bandit group. His bodyguard was named Bruno, an idiot man-child who only followed his orders alone." he continued.

"How do you know this?" Neji demanded.

Peering into the Hyuga's eyes Naruto answered in the unimaginable coolest tone possible, "It's quite simple Neji, the simpleton asked Taka if it was 'his turn'." the shocked looks told him they knew what he meant, "So acting like the stereotypical scared civilian girl I ran, Bruno took off after me, and after about five minutes I tripped myself over a tree root. That lumbering bastard began slobbering and reached out to grab me." suppressing a chuckle he dropped the bomb so to speak. "I cancelled my jutsu, blinded him with smoke, and then stabbed him through the throat with my sword."

"You killed him!" Sakura gasped out.

"No one gets back up after that Sakura-chan." Lee responded, remembering Tenten's first kill being very similar.

"With his death I learned more than all of you combined." Naruto boasted, "After killing him I created a shadow clone to follow Taka back to the camp. He was mad that Bruno "killed" the woman, but that's not the point. They are exactly ten miles to the southwest with around seventy plus inhabitants, not the thirty the mayor of the town told you two. It's defended well enough with ten men patrolling the perimeter to make it a little difficult to get in undetected…but that's not the only thing I found out."

Seeing his student clench his fists Kakashi put his hand on his shoulder, "Deep breaths Naruto, deep breaths, tell us what you saw."

"Before my clone dispelled itself in the woods I saw their leader, he was…I saw the three women the Hokage reported as missing…he was…" gritting his teeth in anger he stopped beating around the bush, and bluntly told them what he saw. "He was raping them! With immeasurable glee on his face he fucked the living shit out of them, and completely unaffected to their cries of pain or their begging for him to stop!"

The two women placed their hands over their mouths in horror, and the men clenched their fists in anger.

"Then there is no time to waste, let's move out." Kakashi ordered.

---

The sky was dark as they leaped through the treetops. For the members of Team Seven it was a little different than their trip from Wave country, the trees seemed to be closer together between Wave and Konoha, but here the trees seemed farther apart and not nearly as thick in most areas, causing them to at times proceed on foot more often than not. In other areas they were thicker and erratic, Naruto could have sworn that some higher power was messing with him-and hearing a silent grumbling from Shinigami wasn't helping matters.

Neji signaled for them to stop as they came up to a less dense section of the forest. Thanks to his Byakugan he could see the first sparks of a few bandits starting fires. "Okay we're a good distance from the camp, and most of the bandits are still asleep. I see ten guards about fifty feet away; they're armed and wide awake too. Gai-sensei do you or Kakashi have a plan?"

"Give us a minute Neji, this can't be rushed. Especially if there are captives." Gai whispered to his student.

'Ishikawa you got any ideas?' Naruto asked his haunting spirit.

"Sorry Blondie but you gotta learn on your own about this sorta thing, while I'm here to help guide you through life and all, I'm not just going to hand you something on a silver platter. You gotta use your noggin, just think man." the slacker replied to the demonic mask-wearer with a yawn in his voice.

Scowling a bit Naruto brought his right hand to his masked chin in thought. While Ishikawa was a lazy bastard, so much so that he actually compared him to a certain Nara classmate of his, but he had a point. He wouldn't grow as a shinobi by constantly asking for help, he needed to do things on his own, and this was one of those things he needed to do.

He thought up on any situation that would end in success. Most unfortunately ended up as horrific failures, he knew that a frontal assault was impossible, his clones popping into existence was completely noticeable, setting fire to the camp would kill the women, an air assault was ridiculous, there was nothing that he could even think of. Naruto then looked at Kakashi formulating a plan within his mind; apparently whatever he was thinking was going to be sneaky…wait sneaky! His tactics book for dummies gave him an idea!

"That's it." he whispered in sudden realization, "Kakashi-sensei I think I got something."

Snapping out of thought the Copycat ninja looked at his former hyperactive student, "What do you have?"

'Something stupid.' Sakura inwardly sneered.

"My idea is simple but effective, and I have to thank you for it." with everyone now listening in Naruto continued. "You and I will use the Hidden Mole Jutsu, thanks to the magnetic forces we can detect where our enemies are even above ground. Then we will use the Headhunter Jutsu to pull the sentries all the way underground, it's quick silent, it won't leave a body, and virtually undetectable."

The silence was deafening within the group, some of them more or less expected him to say 'I'll make a shit ton of clones to distract them', but instead the plan was virtually flawless. Even Sakura had to agree that it was brilliant-coming from him at least. But there left one question for most of them.

"How do you know those jutsus? And how many more do you know?" the Jonin sensei asked.

"Why does everyone keep forgetting that Earth Country kidnapped me?" Naruto sighed out, "I wrote it in the report for Pete's sake, if you're really curious ask the Hokage. And for the ones that I haven't seen that's a secret, you always told me a shinobi keeps some secrets."

Shaking his head in exasperation Kakashi sighed in response, "Okay Naruto we will go with your plan…just be prepared for any consequences."

"I will sensei." Naruto responded in a serious manner. He then placed the palms of his hands on the ground and channeled his chakra into it, then to surprise of the ones who had little knowledge of earth ninjutsu the very ground where demonic mask-wearer placed his hands on became fine sand. Without even pausing the former hyperactive member of Team Seven began to dig like a mole until he completely disappeared underground.

Kakashi soon followed after him leaving the others to sit and wait. Minutes went by and Sasuke began to drum his fingers on the ground impatiently, "Neji do you see what's going on?" he asked.

With his Byakugan still on Neji slowly moved his head to the right, he saw one dozing bandit yawn out in exhaustion before he was suddenly dragged underground. With a sudden look of alarm the Hyuga looked downwards to see Naruto swiftly breaking his neck, and to his surprise Neji found his legendary eyes unable to see through his scary-looking mask. He then saw his fellow Genin move towards the next one and easily pulled him-quite literally six feet under like the last one and broke his neck.

"Well?" the Uchiha impatiently asked.

"Uzumaki just took out two…make that three bandits, he pulled them approximately six feet underground and snapped their necks." looking to the left the Hyuga continued. "Your sensei just dealt with the last of his targets and is in the process of coming back towards us."

Barely a minute later Kakashi dug himself out of the ground breathing a sigh of relief. "Well that was unpleasant." he sarcastically commented.

"At least you got the job done my longtime rival." Gai whispered out.

"What's taking Naruto so long?" Tenten whispered.

"He's just about to take out the last sentry." Neji announced, "And there he goes."

After Naruto took out his last man he tunneled back to the two teams, with one hand going in front of another he felt the magnetic forces underneath them. Again he thanked the use of the shadow clone jutsu for practicing his ninjutsu until he more or less perfected them, because without them, he would have probably died in the process.

However.

That still didn't mean it was hard as hell to breathe underground! He crawled his way up a few feet away from his team gasping for air. He didn't overreact or be melodramatic as he calmly breathed in and out the precious life sustaining oxygen, pulling himself out of the hole he dusted himself off and headed over to the two teams. "Sorry about the wait everyone, are we ready to do this?"

"You sure you're up to this Naruto? You've already done more than enough." Kakashi asked.

"I need to do this Kakashi-sensei. I need to see this through."

Rubbing the bridge of his nose Sasuke sighed in exasperation, "You heard the dobe, the sun is going to rise in twenty minutes."

Silently nodding in reply the two Jonin sensei's ordered their Genin to move out. Everyone silently crept into the camp; Kakashi and Gai were the first to take the half-asleep cooks as they began to start breakfast with cold efficiency. Bringing his right arm out the Copycat ninja waved Naruto and Sasuke into a group of tents. The two nodded in response and quietly snuck into the nearest tent, leaving everyone else behind for the time being.

Once the two pulled the flap back they recoiled at the smell, because apparently tents did not have proper ventilation. Seeing two bandits sleeping in awkward angles the two of them pulled out a kunai each. Thanks to Shinigami's sadistic training methods Naruto's resolve was steeled as he tightly clutched his kunai in his right hand. Sasuke however was suppressing his shaking, in front of his was another human being, he didn't know him, but he had a life load of memories just as him.

On the outside Kakashi and Gai were observing the camp. Lee and Neji were busy in a tent on the left leaving Tenten and Sakura as additional overseers. The panda-haired teen's sharp eyes tried to see through the darkness, but the inexperienced Sakura kept moving her head back and forth, already she had a kunai out in her hands just in case anything went wrong.

The shifting of fabric alerted the pink-haired girl, turning to the right she saw a medium sized bandit stumble out of his tent in a daze. Panicking she reared her right arm back and threw her kunai, the deadly projectile easily pierced his throat. The man's eyes widened in horror and fell backwards into the tent he just came out causing the entire thing to collapse, making its occupants yell out in surprise. Causing what was supposed to be a simple take down mission to turn into a full blown full scale assault.

Screams of alarm alerted the two Genin of Team Seven within the tent. Two bandits immediately jumped to their feet, opening their eyes the saw the two pre-teens within their tents, and screamed in alarm. Naruto silenced the first one by throwing his kunai, striking him between the eyes, and Sasuke out of reflex let his kunai loose, watching it sink into the man's neck, officially marking his first kill.

Exiting the tent the two saw the remaining bandits start to pour out of their tents. Both Naruto and Sasuke drew their shuriken and took out they ones that seemed to be the greatest threats. Afterwards they drew their respective weapons and bolted into battle.

Readying Handanryoku Naruto waited for an assault on his person. He wasn't disappointed. A large sized bandit rushed him, snarling, and the black-streaked blond twisted, letting his instincts and muscle memory take over, raising his katana to meet the giant man who came bearing down upon him fast and hard, his broadsword slamming into the Genin's with a clash of steel. But Naruto was braced, his feet planted apart, the line of his body perfect, and the bandit's attack barely moved him. He swept his katana aside, using the weight of the man's huge broadsword against him, the bandit's arm flailed uselessly for a second. A second was all he needed to step forward, plunging his deadly blade into the man's bare stomach.

Kicking the dying man off it he spotted Sakura kneeling with vomit in front of her. It was obvious that she was horrified that she made her first kill, that was going to cost her, her life when he saw a heavily scarred bandit bolting towards her with a war hammer high above his head. Naruto may have disliked her with an intensity of one-thousand suns, but he was not going to let her die. Pumping some chakra into his legs he bolted at the man, swinging Handanryoku outwards he cut into the man's throat, which opened, spraying the right side of his mask and clothing a fine crimson as he fell to the ground clutching his throat.

Looking down at the crying girl Naruto clasped his free hand in front of her cheongsam dress, and lifted her up to his eye-level. "Don't sit there being useless!" he barked at her, "I don't care if you call me a monster after this, and I certainly don't give a shit if you tell your whore of a mother that I treated you this way. Just do something! Run to Kakashi-sensei, kick a bandit in the nuts, or do your fucking job and quit being so Kamidamned useless!"

Throwing her away the demonic mask-wearer pivoted on his left heel and flashed his katana across a husky bandit's belly, splitting it wide open, letting his fat and entrails fall to the ground. Turning to the east he bolted away towards a large, fancy-looking tent that held the man he wanted dead.

---

Meanwhile Sasuke was standing back-to-back with Lee. With his kusarigama clenched in his right hand and his Sharingan active he saw two men with impressive-looking swords, bringing he chain in his left hand he poured his chakra into it and waited, Lee looked over his shoulder and saw what his fellow comrade was doing and waited for anything to go wrong.

When the Uchiha's target got near he struck, he lashed his chain at the bandit on the right. Controlling the chain with his chakra he wrapped it around the man's sword and yanked it towards him. The man soon found himself completely caught off balance and fell flat on his face, not wasting any momentum Sasuke cartwheeled once, somersaulted twice, and landed on the man's back, plunging his kusarigama into the bandit's brainstem.

Enraged at seeing his buddy killed by a simple kid the second bandit raised his sword to strike the brat down. But the cry of "Leaf Hurricane!" momentarily stopped him in his tracks. Looking over he saw a green freak literally flying at him, then he felt a powerful kick to his chest, his breastplate shattering into over a dozen pieces, and blackness engulfed him for the rest of eternity.

Landing on his feet Lee immediately lashed out with his right fist, striking a thin man in the jaw. The loud snapping of bone from his neck signified his demise as he limply fell to the ground. Immediately falling to one knee the green-clad Genin swept his left leg in a three-hundred and sixty degree angle knocking another bandit onto his back, where Sasuke swung the weighted end of his chain onto the man's cranium, cracking it open and letting brain matter ooze onto the grass.

"Thank you Sasuke, but I had it covered." Lee thanked his on again-off-again sparring partner.

"I didn't want to take any chances." Sasuke replied before facing towards the tents, dropping his weapon for the moment he immediately went through his favorite hand seals and shouted, "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" placing his right thumb and index finger around his mouth, he expelled the massive orb of fire at several unfortunate bandits in his way, and ignited the tents along with part of the woodland. The fire easily spread through the flammable tents, catching whoever was still inside them on fire. About a dozen men screamed in pain, running around, rolling on the ground to extinguish the flames.

Both Lee and Sasuke dry heaved for a second when the smell of burning flesh filled their nostrils. They didn't notice a large man with a double sided axe swing at them until it was too late. Lee was the quickest and grabbed Sasuke by the scruff of his shirt; jumping out of the way he didn't receive any damage.

But Sasuke wasn't so lucky; the left side of his head caught a decent amount of the deadly axe head, slicing a deep gash that went along the side of his head. Gritting his teeth in blinding pain he hit the ground and tumbled with Lee. But the man would not relent, chopping his axe downwards he nicked Lee across the stomach, lifting it up again he roared like a barbarian going in for the kill. But then the man suddenly jerked and fell forward, revealing a kunai in the back of his shaved head, and a crying Sakura shaking at what she just did.

Behind her a man that towered at seven feet even, and looked to be related the man she just killed raised a claymore over his head. The cries of two, "Great Leaf Flash!" stalled him for a moment, and that was just long enough for both Sasuke and Lee to kick him in both sides of his head. The force of the attacks was so powerful that it quite literally popped the top of his skull off.

Landing squarely on their feet the two Genin sighed in a bit of relief when they saw no one else in their area. And after realizing that the danger had passed, he immediately fell on his knees and threw up as the realization that over a dozen lives ended tonight because of him.

---

Further away bandits fell left and right as Naji slammed his palms into their chests, while Tenten sniped behind him, her kunai and shuriken hitting their marks when anyone tried to get too close, or were just unlucky enough to be in her line of sight. Then they saw a blond-black blur run past them, and slammed into six tightly packed bandits, one of them was immediately cut in half at the waist, while another one got slashed across his face, blinding him, and the figure back flipped away from them.

Stopping for a moment they saw that it was Naruto, "What on earth is he doing!" Tenten demanded.

With his Byakugan active Neji saw chakra gathering into his fellow Genin's left finger tips. "I think he is-"

"Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!" Naruto's shout interrupted whatever the Hyuga was going to say. Sweeping his left hand to the side his blue chakra flew from his fingertips, sharpening to the exact likeness of a sword the four streams of charka hit the five remaining men dead on, cutting them into bloody pieces. Giving off a feral smirk under his masks he clenched his hand together, and thanked Kyuubi for forcing him to grow these monstrosities with his demonic chakra, and he also thanked a manga he used to read so he could steal the idea for this useful attack.

Without looking back, but giving his two team members for the mission a thumbs up, Naruto continued on towards the extravagant-looking tent.

After throwing up her lunch Tenten looked over at her teammate. "Neji, please tell me we did not just see that."

"We just saw four men get cut into ribbons Tenten, live with it." Neji replied before narrowing his eyes, "Get yourself together, we still have a job to do."

'You don't have to be a jerk about it.' the panda-looking girl bitterly thought as she wiped the vomit away from her mouth.

---

After he left Tenten and Neji behind Naruto continued towards his destination. But to his chagrin several more bandits got in way, only unlike the barely clothed and half-awake bandits that he killed, these men were wearing leather armor with some iron plating. Their faces varied in-between either decent looking to ugly as sin, but each held a great amount of battle experience.

The leader, a man of great brawn with a brown beard and a bulbous nose narrowed his black eyes at him. Slamming the butt of his naginata on the ground he spoke in a rough voice "The town must have hired a few shinobi to deal with us, boys let's take care of him! If you die take him with you!"

At his order, the bandits rushed forward as one with a battle cry. Naruto readied his katana, flexed his left hand and leapt at the charging men. Bifurcating one and slicing another's throat out he pivoted on his right heel he watched as the two collapsed the others turned towards him and followed. A lithe man swung a long sword at the former full blond, who high blocked it with Handanryoku, followed by a slash with his left arm's hidden blade splitting another bandit's stomach open. Then lashing out to the side Naruto raised his right leg unconsciously shouting out, "Leaf Rising Wind!" his foot caught a bandit in his left arm that held a sabre; it disabled him and launched him high into the air. Never one to waste any movement the demonic mask-wearer leaped high into the air with him, after reaching the same height he continued his combination attack, "Followed by, Severe Leaf Hurricane!" Naruto continued with a series of kicking attacks, starting from a low kick to the man's stomach, and linking into a middle kick to his chest, and finally a high kick to the man's before he finished him off with a heel drop, sending him limply to the hard and unforgiving earth, where he did not get up again.

Landing squarely on his feet Naruto began back flipping away when he saw six more undeterred bandits nearing him, gritting his teeth the mask-wearer wished he didn't have to resort to ninjutsu to take out some lousy bandits-other than the sentries of course. When he landed several feet away he slammed his hands together into the tiger hand seal, it appeared he had no other choice, lest he let the bandit leader get away. "Earth Style: Great Mud River!" turning twenty-five feet of ground in front of him into mud the jutsu flew at the bandits knocking them off balance. Not stopping he quickly did three hand seals, landing on the dragon hand seal he announced his next technique. "Earth Style: Mud Dragon Bomb!" immediately a giant dragon-like head formed out of the great mud river and fired multiple concentrated mud bullets at his opponents.

One would think that mud bullets wouldn't hurt, let alone kill. Well the victims of Naruto's collaboration jutsu now knew otherwise, when the first mud bullet hit, it was a six foot tall and heavily muscular man in his barreled chest, it went straight through him and he fell into the mud dead as a door nail. The barrage didn't stop until the last-now headless bandit fell to the ground with his now hole-filled comrades.

But the leader was not deterred, while he didn't want to see his boys dying in front of his eyes, their distraction was enough for him sneak up behind the demonic murderer. Bringing his mighty arms outwards he swung his naginata at the pre-teens head. It was only thanks to Jagan that he ducked just in time, his only casualty being only a few lost hairs. Growling in anger the black-streaked blond turned towards the bearded man, and the sentient eye fired the Darkness Beam at the man. When the beam hit, he didn't have time to scream in pain, in fact he felt absolutely nothing as his entire body was turned to ash and blew away with the wind.

"Shi! You little bastard!"

Naruto spun around to see the rest of the bandits glaring at him with tears in their eyes. Apparently taking out this Shi person was the wrong thing to do, he saw the respect in their eyes they had for them man, that kind of caused him to feel bad for killing him. Sighing, he stabbed his bloody katana into the ground and placed his index and middle fingers in a cross position. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Summoning ten clones the black-streaked blond raised his right arm, "Sic em boys, make it rain blood." Getting a grim nod from all of them each and every one of them let out a battle cry, the bandits with tears in their eyes let out a roar that would have made an alpha lion proud, the two forces clashed, and the clones blew up, taking the remaining seven warriors with them, literally making it rain blood.

Shaking himself to get as much blood out of his clothing, Naruto pumped some chakra into his legs to make up for his lost time. Whoever crossed his path was ruthlessly put down; as he continued to pump chakra into his legs he saw the large tent. It was a crimson red color-a disturbing reminder of the red light district where he used to live near, the lights were on and he saw a good amount of movement at the entrance. Pumping one last burst of chakra into his legs he clasped Handanryoku's hilt bent his arms so he could hold his katana like a spear.

As the movement came to a stop Naruto saw the tent flaps begin to open up, and he struck like a viper. His divine sword pierced through the figures chest as he fell through the tent, and landing straight on his back, the demonic mask-wearer used him as traction as he skidded on the ground before coming to a complete stop.

"Boss!" Naruto heard a familiar voice scream out. Turning towards the source of the voice he saw Taka with a tanto in his hand, and 'Bruno' with his club out.

Taking several deep breaths the blood covered Kurashagan-user emitted a high amount of killing intent at them. Thrusting his left arm out he pointed his bloody clawed index finger at the hawk-nosed man. "I suggest you surrender this instant, your camp is done for."

Growling Taka pointed his tanto at his enemy. "I don't think so you little freak! Go get him Bruno!" instead of following orders, 'Bruno' beamed the second in command on the head with his club, making him fall to the ground like a sack of potatoes.

"Good job, you can go now." Naruto congratulated his clone, who smiled in return and disappeared, leaving the real club to fall to the ground. Then looking down at the monster who dared to call himself a human being, he finally got a good look at him.

He looked to be around thirty-five years old, with wavy brown hair that framed the sides of his face, and toxic green eyes. His face was twisted in a mixture of a snarl and pain, the man opened him mouth to try and most likely scream something, but instead he found himself without a head.

Rearing his head back Naruto added a small amount of Kyuubi's chakra into his vocal chords, and let out the first, and probably not the last roar of his life. Now why did he roar you ask? It was the only way to let every surviving bandit that it was futile to continue fighting.

---

On the outside of the gigantic tent everyone did stop when they heard the demonic roar. Both Kakashi and Gai; who were in the middle of the camp finishing off their roles in the massacre, snapped their heads up when they heard the unholy sound of Kyuubi's roar. Snapping their heads towards the sound they immediately forgot their remaining opponents and rushed off towards the tent.

When they arrived the sun was rising into the sky revealing the blood-stained killing grounds the camp became. When they arrived at the gigantic tent to their shock and horror they saw the young Genin covered in blood, in his right hand was his katana that seemed to be spewing blood itself, and in his left hand he was holding what looked like the leader of the camp by the hair. They both saw brief flashes of red from the eye holes of his masks and cautiously approached him. All in all he looked like the embodiment of Death.

"Naruto, are you okay?" Kakashi calmly asked.

"…Yea. I'm okay." Naruto panted out, "On the inside of the tent the co-leader is unconscious. I'm going to get the rest of these bastards to give up, please don't wait up."

After Naruto ran off, barely five minutes later he had around fifteen disarmed bandits in front of him and the other Genin. Apparently seeing their leaders head, they more than likely gave up out of fear. Getting a close look they saw that their hands were bound in wire, and more than a few looked like they were limping.

But then they saw Sasuke and Lee, both looked worse for ware and immediately inspected their injuries. "Dear Kami what happened to you two?" Gai asked them.

Wincing Sasuke clutched the left side of his head. "We both got careless, and that's what happened."

Taking their canteens from their belts, along with some cloth the two Jonin wet them down and began damping the wounded areas. They both winced in pain as the water got into their still tender areas. "Geez you two, you're going to need stitches for this." Kakashi told them.

"No they won't, I had a feeling that somebody was going to get injured." Naruto spoke up; casually tossing the head on the ground he sheathed his katana before coming near his fellow Genin. Twisting off the top of the skull he dipped his right index and middle fingers into the skull, swished it around and pulled out a thick cream colored goop. "Okay you two hold still this might hurt," quickly swabbing it on Lee's stomach.

Immediately Lee gritted his teeth tightly in pain. He tried moving his bandaged hands to his stomach to wipe it off, but they were immediately slapped away by Naruto's hand. "Relax Lee, it will hurt for only a minute. Then it'll stop the bleeding and numb the pain." he bordly said to him before reaching over to Sasuke.

After swiping it on his head, a yelp of pain, and of course a sigh of relief. Naruto looked at the two Jonin sensei's, "Is Taka all tied up?"

"Yes, Naruto what are you going t-" without answering his student, picked the dismembered head off the ground and headed into the tent. "Naruto!" Kakashi barked out.

There standing over a tied up Taka, Naruto appeared to be glaring at the man. "Where are the girls?" he asked the hawk-nosed bandit.

"I'd rather let them die before letting you know!" Taka screamed at him.

Clenching his fists the demonic mask-wearer took several deep breaths. He was not an interrogation expert, beating him to a pulp-no matter how tempting it was would do him any good, and of course killing him was clearly out of the question. Almost immediately his forehead began pulsing, the Jagan Eye was attempting to speak with him.

'Yes Jagan?' he answered to the pulsing.

"What would you do to find those girls boy?" the sentient eye asked him.

'What are you getting at?'

"It's a simple question boy. I can give you another skill, no a set of skills that I was specially designed for other than just communicating mentally, and helping you out with those Darkness Flame powers of yours."

'What's your price Jagan?'

"It's really simple boy, just kill, kill, and kill some more. If you get the urge to kill just do it."

'How about you go fuck yourself! I'm not your puppet of mass destruction; I kill because it's of necessity just like what I've done tonight.'

"And yet you're Shinigami's pawn. In order to continue on living you have been ordered to kill three men, and you're always on call to kill someone by mister skull and bones." Jagan argued his case.

'A deal is a deal, Shinigami apparently took a big risk by tampering with the laws of nature. And if he wants me to kill three men who deserve to die, or take out some sort of target from time to time that's fine with me. After all it's not like I'm going to be in his service forever.'

"But what if you're wrong boy? A God is truly unpredictable; he could very well turn his back on your deal whenever he feels like it."

'He will keep his word Jagan, and whatever you offer me you can shove it, I rather earn my power than have it served to me.'

Jagan laughed in response to his host's reply. It wasn't an evil laugh; it was more of an amusing laugh. "As expected from a ningen like you, even with automatic power dangling in front of you, you're still keen on earning everything. Heh, as much as I hate to admit it Shinigami was right you are set in your ways…I mildly respect that."

'Was that just a complement?' Naruto wondered to himself, but then suddenly and without any warning, he was hit with a blinding headache at forced him to keel over even outside his body. Gritting his teeth to the point where a few of them chipped, but then it just stopped without any explanation. 'What…the…hell?' he barely managed to ask.

"Never say I never did anything for you." Jagan retorted before his tenant was booted from his mind, no thanks to an irritable fox whose sleep was disturbed because of them.

After blinking a few times to regain his bearings Naruto was hit with a barrage of information. He saw what he would describe as a training video for his Jagan Eye, in a span of seconds that felt like hours he saw lessons on how to perform telekinesis, much better telepathy than what he was doing with the fox kits, mind control; that included on how to erase memories and resistance against mind control, and remote viewing. Barely containing an evil smirk behind his masks the former full blond began formulating a quick plan.

While Naruto was thinking, he was completely oblivious to the gathering crowd that consisted of two Jonin and five Genin. Soon after he barged into the giant tent Kakashi and Gai properly secured their surviving captives and followed after him. The more experienced shinobi took note of what looked to be an attempt at an interrogation, however unlike Ibiki, Anko, or even Inochi, the Genin just seemed to be having a staring contest with the co-leader.

"Hachi Dokubora." The pre-teen suddenly spoke up, "That was the name of your leader was it not?"

Taka only glared in response, but his mind said 'Yes'.

Holding up the man's dismembered head he pushed it nose-to-nose against the co-leaders face. "He was a B-bordering on A-ranked Missing-nin from Kusagakure, Jonin-rank, a master in the art of poison based ninjutsu, and of course a major contribution to his villages poison lab. Of course he went mad with arrogance tried to rape a fellow scientist, and fled with the secrets to their highly prized poisons."

"What's your point!" Taka spat at him.

Raising his right arm back, Naruto backhanded the insolent bandit across the face-much to the surprise of the occupants in the room. "My point is that I took him down in a heartbeat, a Jonin was taken down by me-"

"Because you got the drop on him! With all the chaos and confusion you outright assassinated him, you mother-" he didn't get a chance to finish when Naruto backhanded him on the left part of his face, busting his lip open.

"I still killed him, regardless of how I did it, he's still dead. Now use your head for once, if a mere Genin like myself could kill nearly…I would like to say thirty-four bandits, that includes your idiot bodyguard before I even came here, five of your sentries, an assload of half-naked and defenseless idiots who stood in my way, a bearded man named Shi and his entourage of warriors, I still had enough energy to kill a Jonin. So tell me." lowering his voice Naruto dropped Hachi's head and pressed his masked nose against Taka's hawk-nose. "What do you think I will do to a man that's already been bound?"

Sakura loudly gulped when she heard her teammate say that. Barely half an hour ago she saw him as the monster her mother claimed him to be, but then she screwed up and nearly ruined the entire mission, and nearly lost her life because of it. It was only thanks to the boy that used to have a crush on her that she was still alive, and now she was conflicted, a demon would never help her, yes he berated her, but it did snap her out of her funk. And for once Inner Sakura was silent in agreement.

Sasuke, Lee, and Tenten were practically thinking the same thing. Though it was brief they both saw him kill with ruthless efficiency, after seeing him covered in the blood of his enemies while carrying a dismembered head like a maniac, and let's not forget walking through his path of destruction which was littered with corpses, they honestly couldn't believe what they saw that night. They honestly couldn't believe that a sarcastic, still prank-happy, and hardworking friend could simply turn a switch and become a machine of death and destruction.

Neji however had his eyes narrowed at his temporary teammate for this mission. He was far from being naive, for years he listened to the various women within the branch family and their gossiping whenever he was forced to do something with them. He pretended not to listen, but there was usually one subject that casually came up at least once every time he was there. The no secret crush Lady Hinata had on one Naruto Uzumaki, he clearly remembered him from the academy. Short, stupid, hyperactive, loser, untalented, and the dead-last. He even half-expected him to die on a simple D-rank mission, or get kicked out of the shinobi program. That was over a year ago, but now he was defying fate, something that was pure heresy in his opinion.

The two Jonin on the other hand were putting their experienced minds to use. Like any decent shinobi they read the Bingo Book cover to cover, they even memorized them after the next issue came out-which was once every three months. So they fully knew who Hachi was and the full extent of his crimes, while they were proud of Naruto for sending a menace to society to hell, they honestly didn't like the fact that he so casually spoke of his crimes, who he killed during the assault, or what he would do to the captured bandit sitting in front of him.

"Now tell me what I want to know, where are those three girls you kidnapped?" using his newly powers of the Jagan Eye was a risky move, and if Naruto was honest with himself one of the stupidest things he was going to do since he was granted with it. But drastic times called for drastic measures, so he used his first attempt at mind control.

Taka immediately felt a probing in his mind, gritting his teeth the co-leader of the camp thrashed his shoulders as if trying to escape. Then his head slumped down and his eyes became glassy. "The girls," he began in a low, robotic tone, "they are here in this tent…the entrance is underneath the bed."

Mentally sighing in relief Naruto silently looked towards the bed. Once again he thanked the usefulness of the shadow clone jutsu, but he also blamed its flaws as well. This clone he created blinked far too often, and had clearly not paid attention to the entrance he was looking for. After reaching the small iron framed bed he tore the mattress off, and flipped the bed frame away to reveal a small wooden hatch.

"Naruto." feeling a strong hand on his right shoulder the mask-wearer saw Gai opening is mouth, "You don't have to continue on, you know that right?"

Giving the man a small smile under his masks Naruto was touched by his and Kakashi's concern once he felt the masked ninja's hand on his shoulder. "I know, but I need to see this through…I need to see what I can do for them."

The two Jonin looked at each other with a good amount of skepticism, but reluctantly nodded. Gai tore the entrance off, and looked at the Genin. "If you're bold enough to see the horrors then I won't stop you."

Sakura immediately shrunk back, she already saw more than enough to last her for a good long while. Lee and Neji also stepped back; the former wasn't ready to see anything like that, while the latter saw no point in it. The only two that chose to follow were of course Sasuke and Tenten. While Kakashi was skeptical on this tough experience but went with it by jumping into the hole first.

Naruto followed second while Sasuke and Tenten followed right behind them, leaving Gai on the surface to watch over the captives.

The four immediately began to follow the wide tunnel that was clearly created by an earth jutsu. They followed the artificial lighting-which they all assumed was another odd ninjutsu, until they reached another wooden door. Naruto immediately grabbed the handle and pulled the door open.

And immediately recoiled at the sight in front of him, Tenten covered her mouth in horror, while Sasuke winced and resisted the urge to gag. Kakashi meanwhile clenched his fists and hung his head down, even after all these years he would never get used to seeing something like this.

In front of them were the missing women, they wore nothing but rags that didn't even hide their nude forms, covered in old and crusty semen, and each were chained by the neck.

"Dear Kami." Sasuke managed to gag out as he smelled all the misery and sex.

"There is no Kami here." Naruto growled out. Boldly stepping forward the Kyuubi jinchuriki went to the nearest one, she looked to be about fifteen years old. A beautiful thing she was, hourglass body, luscious black hair, but her eyes; her gray eyes were soulless, broken and dead. The woman took notice of him and reached her arm out; her right hand grasped his blood-stained skull belt and tugged on it.

Naruto immediately placed his left hand on hers, halting her actions that she was broken for. "We're getting you all out of here."

Pvt. Killjoy: Armageddon what the fuck is wrong with you!

Armageddon: Eh?

Lt. Doom: I'm sorry man but I do not approve of the ending.

Pvt. Fox: I'm inclined to agree. While I enjoyed the massacre and the first acts of growing up in a hard shiobi life, you may have crossed the line on here.

Armageddon: Crossed the line? In the Ten Swords I wrote out a scene where children were raped and murdered. That's realism people, war ain't pretty, and seriously if you were a heartless bandit and captured a woman what would you do? Hmm? I mean come on it's happened in the past with vikings and stuff, historical facts man you cannot dispute it!

Pvt. Superninja: He has a point. But what will that fans say about all of this?

Pvt. Liquor: That is what we will find out once the reviews come in. You hear me people! Armageddon wrote this out in less than a week after months of suffering from insomnia, getting drunk off his ass, playing video games, working, reading and- *gets hit in the head with a baseball bat*

Armageddon: *innocently whistles and tosses the bloody bat to the side* It's true I have been busy...and stuff. I do sincerly apologize for this, but this is my longest chapter so I know you will forgive me.

Pvt. VFSNAKE: Then why did you hit the private with a bat?

Armageddon: Because I can, now before I post this guess what time it is?

Everyone: The recommended fic of the chapter!

Armageddon: That's right everyone! And this fic of the chapter belongs to a special author that I personally cannot describe in words. He's good, damn good. Ladies and gentleman it's my honor to present you *drumrolls* Better Left Unsaid by Kenchi618!

Sgt. Shadowtrayster: Who?

Armageddon: Well a few weeks ago I recently discovered this man, and he just blew my fucking mind out of my fucking skull. He writes like a professional, he updates like every two to three days, I haven't had the forutne to read all his stuff yet but I damn well am looking forward to it. Plus a good lot of this stuff is original.

Lt. RasenganFin: How original?

Armageddon: Read it an find out, you may think it's typical at first, but I promise you it ain't. See you all real soon so then next chapter will have more answers than questions, because you're no doubt will be fucking confused by this chapter.

The Announcer from Sponge Bob: Before the author forgets he would also like me to say these things for him. *pulls out some index cards* He would like you all to know that he does not own Inuyasha, but seriously how could you not see that coming? Those claws just scream, Iron Reaver Soul Stealer! *clears his throat* Also the flamer called He-Who-Has-No-Name, you should go fuck yourself, and also if you have problems with the spelling blame the faulty spell checking on the computer.

Armageddon: Oi I'm still here, you know I can say this stuff right?

The Announcer from Sponge Bob: I know but you hired me to do this stuff, and to get away from that retarded sponge and his idiotic starfish friend. Which I personally thank you for by the way.

Armageddon: Okay, read on.

The Announcer from Sponge Bob: Thank you, now onto further news. Have you seen the manga lately? We finally have a backstory about Hanzo the Salamander and Mifune, Killer B and A aren't really related, Sasuke finally reveals his newest Sharingan, the Kage's are badass-though I am confused why they haven't shown the others...must of not been good enough I guess? Nagato is finally resting in peace-after we saw a last good amount of badassery from him. And of course Naruto and Killer B are being badasses they rightfully deserve to be. Then there is Shisui Uchiha-one of the fewest Uchiha I find myself respecting, especially with that special Sharingan of his that has caused a ruckus even after his death. And of course the crow Itachi stuffed down Naruto's throat, seriously what a twist? I thought it was to power that would make Madara's or Sasuke's eyes explode before killing them. Hmm is there anything else I should add? Oh yes Armageddon fixed all the previous chapters, you know better sentencing, punctuation, spelling, and adding a few scenes. That's pretty much it.

Armageddon: Yep, so good night folks. I hope you enjoy this update.
