Back again…happy? If not then meh what can I say, but for those of you that are happy that I'm back with another chapter thank you it really helps me keep going with the stories.

Now, last chapter we had Naruto pick up a very dangerous mission also I'd like to point out that Naruto does not have the ability to just enter a village destroy everyone and walk out for breakfast, I'm making his strength believable as he has the power to defeat ninja's like Kabuto easily enough however Kage and S ranks he will struggle against for now so what I'm saying is he's not godlike, I try to avoid that in all my stories as making someone so strong then having them lose in a battle is just disappointing and bad writing.

For all those perverts out there that enjoyed the lemon with Naruto and Tsunade, thank you for those that never sorry I'm not that good of a lemon writer, however they do say practice makes perfect and I'm trying to make them so it's actually worth reading instead of those two line lemons you see in most stories.

Also I know a lot of you are seeing as Tsunade and Naruto's actions as loving one another while in some aspects it's true but mainly they are using each other to release their stress and frustrations however I will say later for those NarutoxTsunade fans they will come to love each other but not in the way you're probably thinking, though I do have a question is anyone looking forward to meetings when ex-lovers meet ex-lovers, I know I am.

Anyway enjoy…

I DO NOT OWN NARUTO.


Chapter 12


Naruto opened his eyes at the sound of someone knocking on his door. Sitting up quickly he turned to look at the clock on his table to see what time it was and sighed, it seemed he only had an hour before he had to leave for the mission.

Putting on his black anbu top and bottoms with mesh underneath and finished the look off with a grey chest plate over his torso, his hands now equipped with his finger-less gloves that had full back metal protection on them.

He walked towards the door as he heard the continuous knocking and opened it and came face to face with Hogosha...the one man he didn't want to see.

"Mei-sama asked for your company" Hogosha said while glaring at Naruto.

"Okay tell Mei-chan I'll be right there" Naruto said with a smirk as he watched Hogosha turn around and growl.

Going back into his room Naruto strapped his katana around his waist and disappeared with the body flicker technique and appeared right outside the rebel headquarters.

He made his way past the usual guard and through the hallways until he reached Mei's room, he knocked a few times letting her know of his presence and smiled faintly when he heard her voice.

"Come in Naruto-kun"

Naruto opened the door and peeked, his head through and noticed she was alone sitting in her chair staring at Naruto her green eyes shining with happiness as she watched him walk in.

"You wanted to see me Mei?" Naruto asked causing her to blush due to the feeling he gave her however she quickly composed herself and smiled.

"Yes…I wanted to see you before you set off for the mission" Mei said crossing her arms over her chest raising her breasts slightly so Naruto could see.

"Oh...so you wanted to see my handsome face before I left" Naruto smirked as he stared at Mei's breasts that were only just covered by her blue dress who could blame him he was a man after all.

"And what if I did?" Mei asked with a flirty smile.

"Then I hope your satisfied" Naruto said with an equally flirty smile, it was one of the things they would do as both of them were flirts and it wasn't unusual to hear both Naruto and Mei walk around the camp flirting with one another some of the people had even suspected that their leader and Naruto where even intimate with one another while others played it off due to their natures.

"I am…however there is also another reason to why I called you here and it's this" Mei said pulling out a large piece of paper and handed it to Naruto.

"It's a map for your escape route I need you to take a good look at this, as this map could ultimately save your life" Mei said as she stood up and watched the setting sun.

"Thank you, it's a shame I have no way of repaying you for all you've done" Naruto said with an amused smile however he was shocked at how fast Mei spun around and made her way over to him.

"You…don't have to thank me Naruto-kun, what you're doing for me…all of us however if you do feel like repaying me there is always this" Mei suddenly grabbed Naruto's cheeks and pressed her lips onto his and slowly entangled her arms around his neck and played with the back of his hair.

Naruto's eyes widened and placed his hands on her waist as he felt Mei's lips upon his her soft touches on him made him slowly close his eyes and open his mouth and allow Mei's tongue to battle with his and stayed there for at least ten minutes before departing from each other's mouth however they both still clung to one another refusing to let go.

"Well that's some way of paying you back" Naruto said as he laced his fingers through Mei's auburn hair.

"Yeah" Mei sighed as she rested her forehead on his and stared into his eyes their lips inches away from one another.

"Do I get another one if I come back alive?" Naruto asked with an amused smile and watched as Mei took a thoughtful expression.

"If you come back I'll give you more than this" Naruto was shocked by what she said for a second before he grinned and let go of her.

"I guess I just have to come back now" Naruto said and placed his hood over his head before disappearing with the body flicker technique.

"Yeah you do" Mei said as she stared at the spot Naruto was in the familiar feeling floating all around her chest before she sat down on her chair and smiled.


Naruto appeared at the entrance of the camp and frowned when he noticed Hogosha standing at the gate.

"So you're leaving?" Hogosha asked with a smirk knowing there was a high chance Naruto would die.

Naruto could hear the happiness in the man's voice to be honest he couldn't really blame him if the women he had a crush on was flirting with another guy he'd certainly want him out of the way.

"Yeah" Naruto said as she walked past Hogosha exiting the camp.

"Hogosha" Naruto exclaimed causing the man to look at him.

"Yeah"

"Just so you know Mei has really soft lips" Naruto said with a smirk before jumping into the trees towards Kirigakure No Sato.

"Bastard" Hogosha said clenching his hands so tight they turned white at the thought of Naruto kissing his childhood crush.


It took Naruto a few hours to reach the village he noticed the patrols some of the shinobi's would do however he was lucky enough to be able to read their movements and patterns and get out of the way and as he reached the gate he noticed two guard.

Naruto snapped out of his thoughts and hid in the shrubbery next to him and narrowed his eyes it was a little difficult to see due to the darkness and the mist however he could make out the shapes moving and as soon as both the guards turned away from the gate he launched forward and chopped them both in the back of the neck, knocking them out effectively before hiding their bodies away in a small hut next to the gate.

The village itself felt dead the numerous patrols around the cities told Naruto immediately that this was not a safe place to live in or near.

Jumping onto a building and hiding on the sloped slide of the roof Naruto pulled out the map Mei gave him, he could see the building that had the prisoners in the only real problem was getting into it as there seemed to be shinobi everywhere surrounding it.

'Actually, there shouldn't be this many shinobi in the village at the same time does Yagura know or is he just hiding inside these walls' Naruto thought slightly confused at the Mizukage's behavior.

Deciding that taking the backstreets would be the safest route as both jumping across the rooftops and walking through the main streets would be suicide and the body flicker technique was definitively out of the question as with this many Jounin rank shinobi in the village he would be noticed immediately.

Naruto quickly rushed into an alley as he heard the sound of voices and hid behind the wall as he heard them walk past.

Sighing to himself Naruto looked back at the map and noticed he was still a few blocks away from where he was meant to be and so he quickly rushed into another alley hoping that no one had seen him.

After taking a couple of delayed breaths Naruto peaked his head around the corner and saw the building he was aiming for was a giant tower with a pointed roof there were multiple balconies and floors the moment he looked at the building he could tell it was a prison.

'Shit the streets are packed with shinobi' Naruto thought as he looked around and couldn't find a single opening.

Pulling out the map Mei had given him Naruto glanced at the paper and widened his eyes as he realized a large pipe that ran underneath where he was standing and it lead straight into the prison he could only hope it was water mains instead of the sewage.

Quickly creating a hole in the ground with his control over Doton (Earth) Ninjutsu Naruto sank into the ground and located the pipe jumping onto it, pulling out a kunai from his pouch located around his waist he cut a small opening and sighed when he saw the clear water rushing into the prison.

Taking a breath Naruto lowered himself into the water and let the flow of the water take him.

As he kept going forward he noticed the pipe he was in was extended onto another pipe that split out into three directions looking around Naruto noticed a valve just above where the pipe split off, quickly latching himself onto the circular handle Naruto slowly began to turn it loosening it so he could lift the hatch up.

Before fully lifting it up Naruto checked around the room using a small gap and once he was certain the room was clear he jumped out and slowly closed it again.

Looking around Naruto could guess he was in the maintenance room especially if the wires and boilers all-around said anything.

Pulling out a separate map Naruto located the maintenance room and quickly scanned for the floor the prisoners were being kept on, cursing the fact the prisoners were still a floor down Naruto exited the room and found himself running sneakily down a corridor.

After running down the stairs Naruto came upon a gate that was padlocked several times and raised an eyebrow at the security however shaking the thought off Naruto unsheathed his katana and sliced the padlocks off before opening the gate.

As he walked forwards in another corridor he heard the sounds of talking and quickly slowed his pace down.

Seeing as the talking was coming from two guards blocking a large wooden door Naruto threw two kunai at them and watched as their bodies fell to floor like a sack of potatoes.

He made his way towards the gate and pushed them open ignoring the bodies of the two guards below him.

Naruto's eyes narrowed as he walked past the gates and looked at the room in front of him as hanging from the ceiling there where hundreds of cages hanging from them with groups of people in them.

"Hey, you help me!" A man shouted from one of the cages as he noticed Naruto walk into the room closely followed by several other shouts asking for the same thing.

"Step back" Naruto said as he quickly jumped into the air while unsheathing his katana and sliced the bars of the cages in half.

As he dropped back down to the floor Naruto's eyes scanned the room until they came across a lever, walking over towards it Naruto grabbed the top and pulled it back.

Immediately a gear started to turn forwards and lowered chains so the cages hit the floor. The cage he had already cut open was quickly emptied and sighing to himself Naruto created several more shadow clones and they got to work cutting the rest of the cages.

After everyone had been released Naruto stared at everybody it would be impossible to sneak these numbers out of the village unnoticed without a distraction.

"Hey what are we going to do?" Naruto heard someone ask and glanced around the room to see the condition people where in, they all looked tired, exhausted and scared, sighing Naruto turned around and checked if the corridor was clear.

"Follow me quickly" Naruto whispered and began walking down the corridor slowly the prisoners followed.

Naruto scowled at the thought of not being able to follow his plan of a quick in and out he had severely underestimated the condition the people where going to be in and knew at this point they wouldn't have the ability to survive heavy streams so he couldn't get out the way he got in.

As he walked up some stairs Naruto quickly passed the maintenance room and continued to walk up until he reached ground level, approaching two guards Naruto quickly kicked one in the back of the knee and slammed the other one's face into the wall crushing his skull.

"Where's the exit?" Naruto asked the guard who was groaning painfully as his leg was completely out of place.

"P-Please" The guard said as Naruto tightened his hold around the guard's neck.

"Tell me" Naruto replied in an emotionless tone and stared at the guard's face expressionlessly making the guard sweat.

"I-It's d-down t-t-the co-rridor" The guard stuttered before Naruto tightened his grip and watched the guard's neck snapped like a toothpick in his hands.

Wordlessly Naruto began walking again followed by the prisoners as they looked sick at the sight they had just seen.

Naruto rested his head on the door as he made it to the main entrance and quickly turned around and stared at the prisoners while they watched him in anticipation.

"I'm not going to lie…a lot of you may die when we go outside however you also lived in this village you should know all the shortcuts to get out of the village without being detected, when we go out I'm going to turn left and distract their army meanwhile I want the rest of you to turn right and escape make your way to the forest a couple of miles outside the village" Naruto stated getting gasps off some of the prisoners.

"But we'll be seen" One of them shouted out.

"Only if you're not quick, use the cover of night to your advantage…are you ready?" Naruto asked gripping the door knobs.

Hesitantly the prisoners nodded and Naruto smirked before pushing the doors open quickly throwing several smoke bombs towards the right, Naruto nodded towards the prisoners before pulling out a kunai with an explosive tag.

"Go" Naruto stated running to the left splitting up with everyone and chucked the kunai at a large group of shinobi's effectively getting their attention.

"Get him" Naruto heard as he felt several people approaching him and jumped into the air evading several kunai and shuriken.

By pure reactions Naruto jumped into the air and tucked his legs up narrowly dodging an attack that would of sliced his body in half and fell backwards rolling off the roof when he noticed the growing numbers of enemies surrounding him.

Rolling himself back up Naruto unsheathed his katana and blocked an attack from behind before kicking an enemy in front of him and swinging backwards separating the enemies head from his shoulders.

'Shit' Naruto thought watching several shinobi go through hand seals and watched as several giant water dragons appeared and launched towards him, quickly thinking he pulled out a Hiraishin kunai and threw it towards a group of enemies behind him and watched as it stuck into the stomach of one of them and disappeared in a yellow flash.

Appearing in front of the man Naruto stomped on his head and quickly formed a rasengan knocking a large group of enemies back.

"Well…well…well Naruto Namikaze comes to join us, last I heard you were dead...killed by the Kyuubi…but then that's all in the past right…even though you will be killed by a Bijuu today" Yagura said appearing in the street in front of Naruto and started forming red chakra around himself.

Naruto immediately went through hand seals and a barrage of wooden branches flew towards Yagura and the rest of the shinobi's. Yagura smacked them away while the other shinobi's where not so lucky and were sent flying back into buildings.

Naruto's eyes widened however, as he watched the branches that weren't destroyed by Yagura suck up part of his Bijuu chakra.

'What…I know Moukton has the ability to suppress the Kyuubi abilities but does it work on the rest of the Bijuu as well' Naruto quickly back flipped over an attack Yagura sent that burnt the ground.

"Shit" Naruto cursed as he watched several enemies stand up and Yagura continue to become more monstrous in power and form.

Back stepping to dodge out of the way of an attack from a sword Naruto quickly kneed the man in stomach and sliced his head in half however the slight change in wind forced Naruto to widen his eyes as he saw a Bijuu enhanced punch come flying towards his face and unable to dodge Naruto closed his eyes and took the punch full force and was sent flying into loads of different buildings.

'Shit' Naruto thought as he laid in thousands of pieces of rubble it didn't help that his head was spinning and he could barely see in front of him due to his vision becoming blurry because of the pain and blood.

"Argh…there's too many of them" Naruto said in frustration pulling himself up and wiped the trickle of blood off his face that was coming from his forehead.

"Give up Namikaze, your surrounded and with your death the rebellion will be over" Yagura said emotionlessly as his Bijuu cloak still shrouded around him.

Naruto quickly went through hand seals and slammed his hands onto the ground immediately a pillar of wood rose below propelling him in the air above everyone.

As he ascended into the air Naruto could see the large group of prisoners escaping from the village.

'I need to buy some more time for them' Naruto thought while deflecting several shurikens with his katana.

Quickly noticing several Jounins running up the wooden pillar he had created Naruto back flipped off it and sliced one of the Jounins in half as he was falling.

landing in a crouched position Naruto noticed that the Kirigakure shinobi had driven further and further into the village, he could tell they were trying to corner him from the direction they were sending their jutsu's towards him from blocking any exit he may have found.

Of course he could have used the Hiraishin No Jutsu to escape the village however he knew the prisoners needed more time to escape otherwise they'd be captured and sent back in to the prison or worst killed meaning the whole mission would have been a waste of time.

Naruto leaped from street to street avoiding any of the open ones and stuck to narrow tight cornered ones to avoid any hits from stray jutsu's.

However as he was about to turn into another street he was punched so hard he was sent flying through multiple buildings completely destroying them.


Forests outside of Kirigakure


Mei narrowed her eyes as she watched the giant cloud of dust that formed in the air from several buildings being destroyed.

'Be careful Naruto-kun, don't underestimate Yagura' she thought worried over the blonde haired shinobi.

She had been having doubts about the plan in whether Naruto would be able to make it back alive his death itself would affect the rebel army more than anything as the moral would be down after losing one of their only trump cards in this war.

"Mei-Sama" A Kirigakure rebel shouted causing her to turn towards him.

"Report" She commanded.

"We've made contact with the prisoners" He said and Mei could tell the man had a happy tone in his voice.

"Great tell everyone where pulling back" Mei said and walked back turning her head back towards the village and sighed.

"Please come back Naruto-kun" She whispered before lifting her hand in the air and letting off a flare and immediately a red ball shot off into the air.


With Naruto


Naruto groaned as he laid on his back, he felt like he had just been hit by a train.

'What the hell was that' He thought to himself struggling to lift a giant piece of timber off of his body and dragged himself to his feet barely.

"Do you really think you're going to escape the village alive look at the state you're in" Naruto's one opened eye glared at the figure walking towards him as Yagura stood there his right arm engulfed in Bijuu chakra.

"What did you expect to happen, that you would be able to sneak into the village and rescue the prisoners while leaving unharmed?" Yagura questioned as he stopped walking and one by one shinobi's landed behind him.

"That's a foolish belief isn't it you're just one man and even you have your limits" Yagura said again while his body became engulfed in Bijuu chakra and his skin peeled off.

Naruto's body staggered slightly there was blood pouring down his face, his arm lay limp as blood trickled down it and dripped off his fingers his clothes had been ripped as well, his top had been almost completely blown off leaving only his right sleeve and shoulder his pants had been ripped and one shin was showing covered in blood.

His eyes widened slightly as he saw the flare Mei had sent go in the air and smiled slightly despite the feeling of wanting to continue to fight Yagura.

'There safe, looks like I can finally get out of here' Naruto thought as he put on of his hands into a seal.

His eyes widened in horror however as he felt the Hiraishin tag he had placed at the camp had disappeared.

"Let me ask you one question Namikaze, why did you get yourself involved in this war was it the longing to be with your parents or did you really believe you could stop me, why exactly did you help that foolish women" Yagura said in a deeper voice as his body finished finally transforming into his Bijuu form.

Naruto stared in horror as particles suddenly formed in the air near Yagura and came together to form a small black ball.

'I can't escape I came here to protect everyone…yet I can't even protect myself…is this it am I really going to die here?' Naruto fell to his knees panting for breath as his wounds finally started to affect him.

"Pity you had so much potential" Naruto heard and glared at Yagura in his Bijuu form and gasped at the Bijuu bomb that was floating in the air.

"Goodbye…Namikaze Naruto" Yagura said before firing the Bijuu bomb towards Naruto.

Naruto felt the wind the Bijuu bomb had created and sighed this was it...his end.

'Take care of Nimato-chan…Naruto-chan' Naruto gasped as he saw the image of his mother dying in front of him.

'I wouldn't worry…I promise things will become better for you' Naruto raised his head and stared at the Bijuu bomb coming towards him, he couldn't let it end like this he had to many people to protect and promises to fulfill.

"ARGHHH" Naruto shouted slamming his fists to the ground even though his body could barely move and to everyone's surprise hundreds of giant wood tentacles came out of the ground and quickly formed together wrapping around Naruto.

Everyone watched in shock as the tentacles slowly formed, first came the giant feet and legs that was shaped into samurai armour strangely enough, then came the chest that was also in samurai armour and finally the head formed and set upon it was a helmet with to giant spikes on the top and in its hands where two giant wooden swords. (Imagine a smaller version of Madara's perfect Susanoo made of wood)

'What's happening it's just like that time' Naruto thought back to the incident when his brother was born and the wood protected him, as wood tentacles carried his body into the air until he was staring through the eye holes of the giant wooden samurai.

The giant wooden samurai swung both of its wooden blades at the Bijuu bomb and everyone watched in amazement as the wooden samurai started to strain under the pressure of the Bijuu bomb and forced it to take a step back.

Eventually however the swords amazingly sliced through the giant sphere causing a giant explosion.

Naruto stared at the explosion in awe the wood was protecting him however he knew he had to use this time to think of an escape plan.

Closing his eyes in concentration Naruto searched for any Hiraishin tag he could find that he could go to. His chakra levels were basically wiped out for now so he couldn't go somewhere far away like Tsunade.

His eyes widened as he remembered Tsunade the kunai he had back in his cabin in the camp it would certainly be a risk but it was his only chance putting his hand into a seal Naruto closed his eyes and disappeared in yellow flash leaving hundreds of confused shinobi's as the giant wooden samurai started to dismantle and collapse.

"Bastard" Yagura said through gritted teeth as he turned his back and started walking towards his tower leaving the Kirigakure shinobi who were searching through the mass of wood looking for Naruto.


Naruto appeared in the cabin landing face first on the floor, blood was continuously pouring from his body as he laid there he could feel unconsciousness coming towards him however he knew if he went unconscious he'd never wake back up.

With that thought in mind Naruto slowly raised his head and began to crawl towards the door of his cabin leaving a trail of blood and reached the door handle and struggled to pull it down.

Eventually however Naruto managed to open the door and pull himself out of the cabin landing on the street, he heard multiple gasps from people near him and the last thing he heard was someone shouting his name before finally falling unconscious.


With Mei


Mei smiled as she entered the camp and behind her so did everyone else for many this would be a reunion with family members, lovers and friends.

"I want you to help them get settled in try find some people who they might know things will run a lot smoother that way" Mei said to a platoon of shinobi and they bowed before running to the prisoners and began to ask them questions.

As Mei walked back to her office she was immediately stopped by the presence of Shurui the old women gave Mei a sad look which caused Mei's stomach to drop slightly.

"What's the problem?" Mei asked her voice cracking ever so slightly she knew those looks Shurui had and it always meant bad news.

"It's Naruto…he's on the verge of dying"


Alright done I'm sorry for leaving the chapter like that but meh, I wonder what will happen.

Personally this chapter felt off to me as I hate writing chapters like this but it had to be done...

Now thought I'm starting a little trend now that will appear at the end of every chapter from now on...basically it'll be the wanted pages of different shinobi around the world think of it like the One Piece wanted posters slightly.
