Author's note:
Sorry for the long wait, between getting a job and getting everything ready for college I barely have time any more.
However, I will do anything and everything for my loyal fans!
PLEASE review, even if it's just "thanks for the new chapter". It lets me know who is enjoying, if changes need to happen, if my grammar is okay, and how many enjoy the story.
ALSO was wondering if you all would like me to place Story recommendations at the end in my authors note? I saw some authors doing that and was wondering if you all would like that?
No one asked any questions or made any remarks that I feel I need to talk about SO we are just going to skip that part.
Anyway hope you all enjoy!

'Shit…that's the sword of Totsuka. I remember Madara and Hashirama talking about it. I can't use Izanagi, if any part of my body or soul is touched by that thing I'll be sealed away forever...I need to leave, and leave now.' Danzo's mind raced on how to get away from the young Uchiha.
His mind ran to slow to let him get away this time. By the time he had started to think of ways to escape Hiruzen landed in the field blazing through hand signs.
Hiruzen slapped his hands together "Uzumaki Style: four-point barrier"
'So glad I learned how to do that without the four anchor points.' Hiruzen thought
"That's right Danzo, you should have taken Mito-sama's offer to learn about barrier ninjutsu." He yelled across the field and then whispered to his ANBU team.
"To maintain this barrier I have to stay in place, it will be your job to protect me and help Itachi in any way that you can. This barrier must stay up, and Danzo must be taken down immediately."
To say that Danzo's eyes were wide was an understatement. He had no idea that Hiruzen was coming, he thought that his ROOT would at least be able to contain the situation. He was even surprised that Hiruzen has enough mastery in the Uzumaki style barrier ninjutsu to construct a barrier without the necessary amount of anchors needed.
There was no way out… he couldn't use the Sharingan's in his arm because Itachi was already a master of genjutsu and the sword of Totsuka negated the Izanagi completely. He knew that he could match Hiruzen, but that was only one on one. He had Itachi and his Susanoo, an entire ANBU squad that weren't loyal to him, and the Hokage himself to fight. He knew that he was beat, and knew that if he killed anyone here today that it would weaken Konoha exponentially.
That is all he ever wanted was to make Konoha the strongest, and make sure there were no threats. The way the Uchiha had been going, and the power that Shisui had, and now Itachi. He just couldn't just let them have free reign with this kind of power. They and the rest of their clan would eventually completely turn and bring the village to its knees. They just couldn't be trusted.
He was brought out of his inner confrontation when he had felt a harsh slap to that back. It was then that he realized that he was so deep in thought about his eventual demise he never noticed the barrier drop and a cloaked figure speed to him only to slap him on the back.
It wasn't a split second later that he felt himself pulled through time and space…
Danzo reappeared in what looked like another vast forest that inhabited the lands of fire country. He was shocked at how he had gotten here.
'Must have been some kind of space-time ninjutsu… maybe a reverse summoning' He thought, a scowl found its way to his face when he realized just how he had been reversed summoned. He had been so careless and never noticed the cloaked figure make his way to him. He didn't have time to even react! For God's sake how far had he fallen!
Danzo was even more shocked when he tried to move. No matter how hard he tried to move his body wouldn't budge.
"A paralysis seal was mixed in with the reverse summoning seal, as well was an instant death seal if it was needed." Spoke a new voice.
It was then that he noticed the young Jinchuriki of the village, Naruto Uzumaki. He was standing with what looked like a ROOT agent, but it was one that he had never seen before. Danzo knew every single face of all of his agents for safety precautions, and he could tell without a doubt that this wasn't one of his agents.
"You know a lot of people can master how to keep their faces from reacting, but only a select few can hide the reactions that eyes give away Danzo. You are not one of them." The young blonde spoke again.
"You can talk by the way, everything besides your mouth and vocal chords are paralyzed" Naruto added.
"What would you know about reading reactions, Child?" Danzo spat.
"I had to learn to read reactions, to be able to tell who was going to hurt me and who wasn't going to hurt me." If Danzo wasn't paralyzed, even he would have flinched. He himself had tried to protect the Jinchuriki because he was a weapon for the village that should be kept in pristine condition when it needed to be used. However, even his ROOT weren't enough to keep the masses away.
He couldn't just assassinate that many people in the village. It would draw too much attention and would weaken the village severely. So he just kept watch to make sure the boy didn't die.
"What do you want? Hiruzen won't stop until he finds me you know." Danzo had reigned in his emotions going through him. He needed to calm down and gather information to find out what was going on.
"Danzo I know everything that you have been doing for the village. I can obviously tell that you didn't trust Shisui-nii with his eyes and that is why you attempted to steal them." How had the boy figured him out so easily? Danzo's mind was racing to try and figure it out.
"Can't figure it out can you?" Naruto had a victorious smirk plastered on his face, "Ever since I started to train with Jiraiya and learned that I could manipulate yin and yang chakra because of the fox I used it to my advantage."
"If you're wondering why I'm speaking about my abilities out loud, it is because I already know that you have it in your files on me. I knew that you had ROOT spying on me, I let you know that. This has been a part of my plan ever since Jiraiya and I found an organization that is hunting the Biju." Shock ran through Danzo's eye. Why didn't he know about this?
"We found this out when a masked Uchiha who claimed to be Madara Uchiha confronted Itachi Uchiha about his rebelling family. We do not know who this masked Uchiha is but Madara is dead. There is no way it could be him. When said man confronted Itachi, he told him that if the "their" family couldn't control themselves that they would have to be killed off. He told Itachi that the village would suggest it, and sure enough you all did. He also told Itachi that he would help the young Uchiha save his village from his family under a small condition… The condition was for him to join the said group that is hunting the Biju."
"This is where you come in Danzo. I will grant you full immunity for all your crimes against Konoha if you do as I say so we can stop this group." Naruto looked at the man unwavering.
"What do you mean? All you have told me about is this group, and I doubt a child as young as you could ever grant me immunity. Hiruzen would never allow it"
"I guess you haven't heard then" Naruto's smile etched its way across his face, "Jiraiya appointed me co-spy master of Konoha. I do have the authority to grant immunity. What I mean is that I have a plan. However I am not going to tell you said plan until you accept. It isn't like you have much of a choice anyway. If you say no I just activated the instant death seal, if you say yes you protect Konoha. I didn't think it would be that big of a choice for you Danzo."
The boy was good. He had trapped him in a do or die situation. Danzo knew the answer to the boy's question, but he didn't want to give the boy the satisfaction of knowing that he had forced Danzo to choose his plan over death.
He pretended to think over Naruto's proposal. Danzo himself knew nothing of this group, not even the name. He didn't know the people in it, or their strength levels.
"What of ROOT?" Danzo asked
"You'll be allowed to keep it active, but when you report on the group you will also include a report on ROOT. Don't withhold information about ROOT either, I will know and I will activate the death seal. Also they won't be allowed to be active inside of Konoha. They would just get in the way of my network. If you want I can keep you updated on the state of the village. " Naruto replied
Danzo knew that this "deal" couldn't be any better with his slim options. It was either this, and protect his home or die and leave this threat out there.
"I accept, please tell me what needs to be done. I would also like to be kept in the loop of the village." Danzo felt weird. The last time he had been ordered around by someone was before Tobirama-sensei had died. Not even Hiruzen ordered him around like his position gave him the power to do.
"First off, the group's name is the Akatsuki," Danzo knew that name. It was the name of a rebel faction out of Ame.
"We do not know how many members they have, but we know of two confirmed members. Kisame Hoshigaki, one of the former seven swordsmen of the mist, and Orochimaru is also a current member. Our informants have led us to believe that Orochimaru's only reason for joining is because he knew that the organization reached out to Itachi. How he knew that we don't know. We do know that all known members wear a black robe like attire with red clouds on them." The attire was different from the group he remembered but it could still be them.
"Like I said before we know that they are after the Biju, for what reason we have no clue. We need Itachi in the village to try to be able to guide the Uchiha in the right direction. We need to you to get them to believe that your only motivation is power, not protecting the village. I'm sure that won't be hard, especially with how Konoha will spin the story of your defection." Naruto continued
"Also if you have been wondering who my friend is," Naruto pointed to the man dressed in ROOT entire, "you are correct if you thought he isn't one of your agents, he isn't. He is one of my yin-yang release clones. They are basically a completely new human being, but they are completely made up of chakra. They can get hurt, they will need medical attention if they do, but they won't dispel. The only way for that to happen be if they are actually killed, but instead of a body staying behind. They simply fade out of existence."
"You are free to name him whatever you wish, he doesn't have a name. He was made to be your go to body guard, he will act just like all of your regular agents. However, he will be our go between. It will be easy for us because if he say makes a shadow clone and said clone dispels, I also get the information. So we don't have to have the risk of writing and sending messages. Just tell him your reports, he will make a clone and the information will be sent to me when the clone dispels." Danzo was quiet, soaking up all the information that he could.
"In case you are ever compromised I am leaving the seals I placed on you. Just for precautions. Just send chakra to the reverse summoning seal and I can summon you can in an instant. The other seals will also stay intact just in case you betray Konoha, which I doubt you will." Naruto gave him a strong look, "you need to be as fast as you can to try to get inside the organization. They will obviously not trust you with your reputation among the shinobi world, but we don't need total trust. We just need you in and informing on the moves, and whereabouts."
"One more thing before I leave though, Danzo. A true shinobi learns to control his emotions in every aspect possible. Not throw them away, because you never know when a certain emotion can motivate you to get stronger. Plus with the control over your emotions, you'll be perfect for infiltration because you wouldn't have the awkwardness that your ROOT have. Find a way to train your new ROOT in that, and I assure you that they will get better."
"Now you two need to get going, I will relay the information to boss." Naruto pulled out a kunai and stabbed himself in the chest. Only for him to dispel in smoke.
'Naruto Uzumaki, you sure are an interesting child.' Danzo thought.
