"Where am I? Who?" a voice of a young man with yellow blond hair, sun-kissed skin and three whiskers marks on each cheek asked

"You're safe my friend I've got you Naruki" A voiced belonged to a black haired, Onyx eyed man said

"Naruki? Is that's my name? Who are you?" Naruki asked

"Yes your name is Naruki Namikaze and I'm your friend Sosuke Uchiha," Sosuke said

"I don't-"Naruki was cut off

"It's okay Naruki, you don't have to remember," Sosuke said softly as the other people looked on as their leader does his work

"Man, that clone doesn't look any different than the others clones of the Kokage Naruto Namikaze." One of them whispers to the one next to him

"Quiet, do you want-"

"Oh no Serena let him speak his mind, do you have something to say, Kyle?" Sosuke said/asks

"Yeah, I do you created us to be what exactly? You have us kidnapped people from all over nations included the Kokage of Shuku to make this super shinobi, which is a myth by the way. So tell me why should we follow you anymore?" Kyle shouted at Sosuke as Naruki look at the scene and then Kyle hit Sosuke

That's when the whole room is engulfing in a red light and the only thing you can see is Naruki's glowing red eyes.

When Naruto opened, he saw that he's in the hospital in Shuku and when he turned his head to the right he saw his mother who's holding his right hand. When Kushina saw that Naruto was looking at her, she called out to Kasumi who ran to hug Naruto before telling both Naruto and Kushina that she was going to get Hayate and the others.

"Naruto are you alright? Do you remember what happened? If not the-"

"I remember mom," Naruto said quietly, which unease Kushina

Kushina began to say something else when Hayate along with Ryu and Kasumi arrived. Naruto looked at them then to Kushina who got the hint that Naruto wanted her to leave. Kushina looked at both Hayate and Ryu then back to Naruto and nodded her head, before leaving the room with Kasumi. After they left the room, Ryu shut the door and leaned against the wall with his arms crossed. Hayate took over Kushina's chair next to Naruto's bed.

"Naruto, what's wrong?" Hayate asks

Naruto told them about what he had done saw in his "dream", but Naruto's sure that it wasn't a dream at all. If it was indeed real, the clone of Naruto's named Naruki have powers and dangerous ones at that. Something must be done before things get more out of control.

"How did you see this Naruki in the first places? I thought you and Rinha Clan solve the clones and originals DNA problem? Also even if you didn't I doubt you would be able to see your clone through their eyes or even dream about them." Hayate asks/said as Ryu remained silent

"Ryu, what's on your mind? Feel free to share" Naruto asks/said

"Perhaps you have this power too, but it's locked inside of you. This gives you more connected to Naruki as he is a perfect clone of yours than your other clones. If you can surely see through his eyes, then perhaps he can see through your eyes or it can be one way. The question is why this clone of Uchiha has created a clone with the mysterious powers of the Uzumaki clan as well as the other powers." Ryu said

Naruto thought over what Ryu had said and what reason this clone of Sasuke has to create clones in first places.

"Your father thinks that this clone of Sasuke wants an army of super Shinobis" Naruto heard Hayate say

"That's doesn't seem right, why would Sosuke create Naruki and more clones just for an army? When I saw through Naruki's eyes, those other clones Kyle and Serena didn't look like they had any powers like Naruki did. So Sosuke wanted an army is out, so why would-unless" Naruto thought, then turned to Ryu

"How was Sosuke made and when was he created? I think Sosuke just want others like him, clones of members of clans and such to create his own village. One-"Naruto was cut off

"One that will be impossible destroyed, even by the Black Spider Clan the one Hayate and I know." Ryu finishes for Naruto

"But he seems fixated on you and that's why he's created clones of you and even making deals with the devil just to create the perfect one Naruki. Why? When he mad others like Ginta. Who's Sosuke" Hayate sad/asks and he did make a point

"Sosuke is the name of Sasuke's clone and I think he was created long before he even came out of hiding or whatever and he saw my and Sasuke's relationship and somewhat friendship/rivalry. So he-"

"So Sosuke was created maybe during you and Uchiha were still kids and Sosuke had watched you two relationships and grew envious of that. So he wanted his own Naruto Uzumaki of his own." Ryu simply said

"Do you remember him getting taken?" Hayate ask and Naruto was trying to remember

"I remember once Team Seven with on a joint mission with Team Eight and we were knocked out by someone. Wait-"

"So maybe Sosuke isn't the only clone the original Black Spider Clan had created. They had also created clones of you, Haruno and others; but the clone of you and Sosuke may not have the same relationship as you and Uchiha." Ryu finishes for Naruto

"Ryu, my friend are you going to keep finishing my sentences for me?" Naruto asks annoyed, causing Ryu to smirk

"I will do what I can to find out what I can about these clones and if the Spiders had created more than Sosuke," Hayate said as he stands up

"If they did, we need to find them as the clone of you Naruto might know everything about Sosuke," Ryu said holding the door for Hayate and looking out of the door

"Hayate, your mother is here and coming this way," Ryu said as Ayana stopped at the doorway

"Naruto, Hayate I'm glad you are both alright, you are both alright?" Ayana said/asks as she rushes to hug them and releases them

"We are alright Ayana/mom," both Naruto and Hayate said at the same time

Naruto watches as Hayate led his mother out of Naruto's room, Naruto and Ryu's eyes connected and then Ryu left. Naruto knew that Sosuke is up to something, but what? That is the question

"Looks like I have sent a letter to them," Naruto thought, before getting up from the bed

Naruto unhooks himself from the machines and several nurses run into his room.

"Kokage, what're you doing? Please get-"

"Enough just get me clothes. I've got things to do NOW" Naruto said/yell telling the nurses that their Kokage means business and things are happening that he can't be ignored for all of Shuku's safely

"Right away Kokage," one of the nurses said, before running out of the room

When she came back with clothes, Naruto asks all of them to leave and they did. When he finishes getting dressed, he walks out of his room and made his way back to his office. While he walks, he wonders about Sosuke and his connected with Naruki. Once he made it to his office, he saw his father who was looking at paperwork. When he looks up at Naruto, his face lit up

"Naruto, you're-"

"Dad gets out please," Naruto said calmly

"What?" Minato asks confuses

"Please get out of the office" Naruto repeated and Minato look at his son's eyes, and right then he knew Naruto is hiding something from him

"Alright son, I will leave," Minato said, stepping around the desk and toward the door as Naruto walk toward his desk

"Son, please be careful. Whatever you're doing" Minato said as Naruto look up as him

Naruto didn't say a thing and when Minato left, he started writing a letter to a person or two.
