Sleepless D: Alright everyone, I can honestly say that the last two chapter were done months ago, but I wanted the co-creator/Beta reader to look it over, I received no word what so ever and I forgot about them...I posted one and hoped to get his response but I got nothing. So everything I'm doing now is brand new for me and I only got word from him a little while ago so I should be able to do more work. I'll also like to thank Wolf Master Uchiha for some ideas he provided. Peace out.
Several minutes have passed and the two men and Naruto in a bag were now in the woods. "You can let him go now Dai." Hitoshi says.
"Um...Okay boss." Dai smiled and empty the bag, having a slightly blood covered Naruto and a leg of a goat fall out.
Naruto looked at the leg in slight disturbance. "So that what that was...I thought it was something else." Naruto says in relief, thinking that it was something worse.
"I must say kid, you know how to recover." Hitoshi chuckled. "Even our ones needed longer then you to recover." Hitoshi says.
"Your ones?" Naruto asked in confusion.
"I...uh...never mind, we've got some work to do." Hitoshi says and begins stretching.

Half an hour passes and Naruto is more than a little bruised, one of Naruto's eyes was swollen badly as he just got hit by a two tone giant man made of Iron. "Did I hurt you little fella?" Dai asked in a worried voice.
"Relax; this kid can take worse than that." Hitoshi says and looks at Naruto who fell flat on his face. "Or maybe you're getting too strong for your own good." Hitoshi says and walks over to Naruto and picks him up.
"No...More..." Naruto says with one teary eye.
"It's only still the warm up kid." Hitoshi says, remembering rougher training when he was younger.
"I think he's had it Boss." Dai says but sees Hitoshi reach into his pocket and pulls out a syringe. "...You not givin that to him are ya Boss?" Dai asked.
"I need him to withstand as much as you as possible." Hitoshi says and injects it into Naruto's arm. "Now this should be enough, Roshi could take less than this."
"But he was as old as you Boss," Dai says.
Hitoshi paused for a second. "...Shit...Well this should be interesting then." Hitoshi says as he walks away as Naruto lost focus in his eyes. "Keep training." He says.

Back at the hospital, Hinata had just woken up and looked around the room to see Sasuke staring at her, she looked over to Naruto's bed and saw that it was empty and was confused. "S-Sasuke-Kun...Where's Naruto-Kun?" Hinata asked.
"He's been jacked by the two rouge Iwa Shinobi that we helped during our 'C' Rank mission." Sasuke says as he sat up so he could get out of the bed. 'I've got to get more powerful the Naruto.' Sasuke thought as he got onto his feet and nearly fell down. 'I've got to get better!' Sasuke yelled.
"S-Sasuke-Kun, y-you should be r-resting!" Hinata says, sounding worried for him as he limped towards the window, she tried to get up to stop him but her body wouldn't allow it. 'I need at least a couple of days to be at full strength.' Hinata said to herself.
'I've got to find a way to surpass Naruto!' Sasuke yelled to himself as he opened the window and jumped out, landing with slight difficulty and was heading out of the hospital, feeling slightly nervous as her planed to go somewhere he never wished to go to again.
'Sasuke-Kun...' Hinata thought to herself and hoped he'll be alright.

Sasuke stopped by his apartment to get some clothes since many of the people were looking at him as he only had a hospital gown on. He limped over to the Uchiha compound which has remained mostly abandoned since the incident; he limped for several minutes until he reached the Uchiha council chambers. He was breathing heavily as he kept remembering all the dead faces he'd seen when he was a child, he removed the boards covering the door before walking in.
The place smelled of mould and dust as he walked through it, he slowly made his way to the back of the room where a small shrine stood and made his way behind it. He looked around for a couple of stones on the wall. 'Where is it?' Sasuke wondered and his fingers brushed against a curtain brick that moved slightly, he smirked as he pressed it and a section of the wall moved inwards and revealed a tunnel leading downwards.
He smirked and thanked the person that designed the tunnel to be invisible, even to the Hyuga's eye, he walked through the tunnel and remembered the few times in his childhood that he was allowed to come to the Uchiha library. He always wanted to retrieve the scrolls hidden here, but he feared coming back here, even now he's sweating like mad and felt sick but he pushed on by the thoughts of power he can receive.
He reached the bottom of the tunnel and looked at an old looking door; he opened it and walked into a large room full of bookshelves covered in books and scrolls. Most of them were just ordinary books but some were greatly important that contained Jutsus, supplies and information that would make Orochimaru go nuts. "Time to take what belongs to me." Sasuke says nervously, nearly being sick as he kept getting the memory of everyone dying.

Hours have passed and Naruto was walking towards Ichiraku Ramen shop and had finally gotten there. "Welcome to Ichiraku...Naruto! What the hell happened to you!" The female waitress yelled.
Naruto was quite literally black and blue and red all over, the black and blue being bruises and red being blood, his eyes were swollen to the point he couldn't see and was still grinning. "Training...lots and lots of drugs...I'll be having diner now." Naruto said in a disorganised voice as it slurred slightly.
At least that's what he thought he said, in reality he said. "Pachinko...smoky grain gobbledygook and a tucker...steal balls." He says as he sits down on the chair he remembers is there.
"What?" Ayame asked.
"Smacker been monkey's sex honker." Naruto says, not understanding much, translation. 'I'll have a bowl on beef ramen.'
"Kid!" Someone yelled from outside and Hitoshi rushed in. "Oh good, I thought you was dead when Dai hit you with that right hook...and I must say you look like crap." He says.
"Hat cart? Monty pander kicker ball." Naruto says in a confused tone, but that was hard to tell with the slurring.
"Yes, you were sent flying and it's the middle of the day so you can't have dinner." Hitoshi says.
"You understood him?" Ayame asked in surprise.
"Yes, I understand nonsense." Hitoshi chuckled as he grabbed Naruto's collar and dragged him away. "Just going to heal him up and let the drugs I gave him wear off." He says and waves at the shocked Ayame.

At the hospital, a worried Hinata sat in her bed thinking about Naruto and Sasuke. 'I can't let them overdo everything...they could get hurt, or worse.' Hinata thinks as she wanted to get out of bed and make sure they're alright.
The door slides open and Anko walks in eating a dango. "Alright kids, Kakashi anticipated this and left you...some...where the hell are the boy brats?" Anko asked Hinata who just noticed she was here.
"T-They...um...they l-left to t-train." Hinata says in a nervous tone.
Anko looked surprised and she knew how long people would be out of commission from years of experience. "They shouldn't even be able to walk, let alone train." Anko says and made a note to check the morgue for them later.
"I d-don't know, I t-tried to s-stop Sasuke-Kun b-but h-he left anyway." Hinata says as she tried to sit up.
"...Well I know the Uchiha's tend to have a stick up their ass...but I think I understand why." Anko says and gained a confused look from Hinata. "Well since you're the only one here, I'll help you learn this...boring stuff...learning from scrolls has never been my thing." Anko says as she sat down next to Hinata who was becoming nervous.
"A-Alright A-Anko Sensei." Hinata stuttered.
"Don't call me Sensei, I don't want to be one but I'm forced to assist you in training so shut up and read." Anko says as she leaned back and opened an orange book.
'Isn't that what Kakashi Sensei reads?' Hinata wondered but opened her scroll and began reading it.
"...Once you're healed up and we still can't find those guys...I'll teach you some stuff and maybe get that nervousness out of your system." Anko says casually as she pulled out a kunai and twirled it around in her hand.
"...O-Okay..." Hinata says while feeling a cold shiver and a bad feeling by what Anko said.

In the woods, two men and a small bruised boy were waiting for the boy to wake up, shortly after I said that, the boy woke up looking like crap as he coughed and spat out a little blood. "...What...where am I? What place is this? What time of man?" Naruto says groggily.
"You're in the woods, in the Hidden Leaf village and it's currently three forty-nine." Hitoshi says as he looked at the hug over Naruto. "I'm surprised that you're awake, that stuff we gave you was made to numb a damn elephant."
"Yep, Boss is right, but it never work on me." Dai says in a sad voice.
"Well you're the elephant man on steroids." Hitoshi chuckled as he patted the giant man on the back.
"...Who that Boss?" Dai asked.
"...Never mind." Hitoshi says as he lifts Naruto to his feet and watched Naruto fall on his face. "This kid can't take shit." Hitoshi says in surprise.
"He just a kid Boss." Dai says as he picked Naruto up with his large hand and kept him in a standing position. "He like a little doll."
"Well you can't play with him...that reminds me...is this stuff still legal?" Hitoshi asked.
"...Uh...Not sure boss." Dai says.
Hitoshi sweated a little. "Well let's hope so." Hitoshi says and began walking back to the village as Dai followed, dragging a limp Naruto in his hand.
"Mm...Hinata's underwear..." Naruto says as he was in dreamland and at the same time Hinata sneezed and seemed to get a pleasant shiver down her spine.

Sasuke was in his apartment, looking through many scrolls and trying to improve his chakra control by focusing it to curtain areas of his body, healing them quicker than they should. 'I'll keep this on...' Sasuke thinks as he placed the healing scroll away and began reading through GenJutsu scrolls. '...I'll be the best...I'll be unstoppable...I will show everyone that I'm the best the village has to offer...' Sasuke says as his eyes got more focused into the work and failed to notice the world passing by as he learnt everything his clan had to offer.
Sasuke continued looking though the scrolls, trying to find the best of the bunch and suddenly found a scroll about the Sharingan, he smirked as he opened the scroll and began reading through it.

It was night-time and the Leaf village was at rest, at least to most, a curtain team was still doing everything in their power to become the best they are capable and then some. Naruto was trying to ignore the pain his body was going through from earlier training and worked on his whip, improving his speed and evasion while combating several dozen clones.
He was currently at the Tetsu Clan (I can't remember if I named the Iwa clan but they'll be known as the Tetsu (Iron) clan). He was working in their training field which was next door and the clan Head Fumio watched him train constantly with his uncle Hitoshi. "I would've thought you'd have broken him now." Fumio chuckled.
"I honestly thought I did...but I'm not sure if he's delusional or that stupid." Hitoshi says and hears a window open nearby, the two look to see the girl Kayo, Fumio's younger sister looking out and watching Naruto with interest. "Looks like the girl's got a crush." The older man chuckled.
"...Well...I'm glad that she's settling in well enough since our brother and father died...but I'm worried that she won't get to be the kid she still is anymore." Fumio says and hears a whirling sound, he looks towards Naruto and cursed as he ducked and a whip flew passed his head and smashed into their new home.
"...I'm sure she'll be fine." Hitoshi says as he acted like nothing happened. "I witnessed my friends and family that followed my cause get killed and left you because I said I acted without the clan's knowledge." Hitoshi says, remembering all the blood and loss he suffered. "Only Dai survived that with a few others...but they're dead now." He sighs and begins walking towards the large hole Naruto caused. "I'll try and get some rest...and you may want someone to fix that." He says casually.
"...Yeah...I'll get right on it..." Fumio said as he got up and looked at the still fighting Naruto's.
Xxxxx
Sasuke kept looking through the scrolls, committing everything to memory while he had a couple of his own clones improving their swordsmanship and speed. Sasuke coughed hard as he felt the effect of exhaustion from healing himself quicker take effect, he takes a food pill in the hopes to keep him awake and learn as much as he can before he loses his mind.
'I've got to be better...I've got to be better...I've...' Sasuke says to himself over and over again, occasionally stabbing a fork in his leg to keep him awake until the pills kick in.
Xxxxx
Hinata was still awake and taking glances at the snoring Anko while she read through the scrolls provided, some of them were Medical Scrolls and Hinata was trying to learn it so she could recover quicker and help the teammates. She was making progress as she could stand up by herself but only for a few minutes, she sighed and decided to take a break and ate some fruit that was on her table.
Anko snorted in her sleep. "I...I want...another dango..." She says in her sleep and Hinata tried to suppress a laugh.
She then sees Anko move her hand and her orange book was shown, Hinata raised an eyebrow and really did wonder what was so good about that book. She carefully reached over and took the book carefully, she went to the first chapter and began reading, not knowing what it was about.

Just outside the gates, a cart was waiting near the entrance and the driver was an old woman with several cats moving around in the cart. "Can I please get in? I got lost and my husband must be getting worried." The old woman told the two guards as they tried to calm down the dog with them.
"Fine, I've seen you enough times to let you through lady." The closest one said.
"And I'll see you for supper tomorrow grandma!" The second guard called as the old woman smiled and waved at her grandson.
After a couple of minutes of the cart going down the street, a small bundle fell from the bottom of the cart and quickly ran to the nearest alley. "Damn Kabuto, getting caught out and now I've got to check this shithole out." The thing said and looked out of the alley, showing glowing yellow eyes that seemed to get higher while clicking sounds were heard.
The thing walked out of the alley and a person around their late teens looked around, glowing yellow cat like eyes and neatly kept hair. The person was wearing similar clothes that Kabuto wears but more worn out with a few stitches, the person also wore a mask that covered their face and began walking down the street.
"That damn lady has to get rid of those damn flees." The person complains and scratches all around.

It was now bright in the morning and Naruto was sleeping on the ground, looking better now that he's sleeping. Kayo sat near him and kept looking at him as he slept; occasionally mumbling about underwear but Kayo didn't care. "Kayo!" Someone called, she looked back to see her mother. "Wake up the boy so he can have dinner with us!" She yells before walking back in.
Kayo stood up and leaned down to grab Naruto's collar, her hand went an iron coloured and lifted Naruto up like nothing before throwing him towards their house. Naruto smashed through the door and rolled across the floor before stopping and sitting up, looking tired and a little beaten, he opened his eyes and saw that he was at the dinner table and was confused. "That girl sure knows how to aim." Hitoshi chuckled while Dai nodded, sitting on the floor since he was big enough to be level with everyone else.
"Well we always knew she was good." Hiro, the mother to the clan head said. "She was a faster learner then you Fumio." She smiled.
"I'm good enough." Fumio sighed but smiled as Ai touched his shoulder and smiled.
"Come and join us for breakfast." Hiro says and places the dishes on the table and Naruto got excited, not noticing Kayo walking in and sitting next to him, looking at him on occasion.
Xxxxx
Anko yawned and sat up in her chair; she looked outside and saw that it was morning. "I must have fallen asleep." Anko yawns again and scratches her hair, she looks to see Hinata sitting up in bed and looked like a painted red statue with an orange book in her hand, and she looked at the page and chuckled. "This is my favourite chapter." Anko smirks and takes it away. "I kind of wonder if your boyfriend was named after this since the main character of this story is called Naruto." Anko chuckled.
'...Is he?' Hinata wondered but couldn't move a muscle as she was too embarrassed about this book to do anything else.
Xxxxx
Sasuke was still working hard and was in a practice field after having a few hours sleep and was ready for more, he had a few clones training in Fire based Jutsu's, a few on sword skills and combat, and few more reading through scrolls. He was breathing heavily as he continued to work his body, becoming stronger every time he trains; he smirked as he wondered how much closer he was to over taking everyone else in skills.
Someone walked out of the woods and headed towards Sasuke; the Uchiha just noticed the person and stopped everything as he and his clones glared at the newcomer. "Excuse me sir, but are you interested in becoming stronger?" The person asked, sounding like a business person.
Sasuke looked him over and he was just wearing a plain white robe, sandals and didn't look from around the area since his eyes were yellow and had black stripes across his cheeks. He smiled and showed sharp teeth that made the Uchiha look confused by the person's characteristics, wondering if it was a bloodline or a birth defect. "Why?" Sasuke asked.
"...Well...my employer heard that the last member of the Uchiha clan was strong and sent me to assist him, I could tell it was you by the passion, the strength, the determination! I have some stuff that could help you." He says and pulls out a scroll. "I'm a skilful Medical Ninja and I'm willing to bet you get hurt more often than not with all this training."
Sasuke raised an eyebrow and took the scroll. "Who are you?" Sasuke asked.
"My name is Neko, I come from a different country and my employer owes so much to your family." Neko tells him.
"...If you make my training more effective...then I'll take it, if you slow me down then I will hurt you." Sasuke informs him.
"Of coarse...Lord Uchiha..." Neko says with slight distaste and Sasuke failed to notice.
Sleepless D: I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I'll be doing the next chapter as soon as I am able, please review. Peace out.
