Well I think I kept you long enough. Enjoy the chapter and let me know what you think.

The explosion was powerful enough that it made the ground shake. Naruto turned to his team and smiled. "Do it." Naruto said as he disappeared into a cloud of smoke. Ino looked at her team and smiled. "Shadow Clone no Jutsu!" They all yelled as about ten clones of each appeared.

"Okay listen up." Shikamaru said. "I want five of you to go with Kiba Tenten and Lee." He looked at his clones and the other teams that had just woken up. "I want you to go and protect the academy." They all not and took of.

The clones as well as the others were ordered to move out and to protect the civilians of the village at all cost. Sasuke had looked at the three members of Naruto's team with hatred in his eyes. He then took off to do what he had been ordered to do.

"Hey Chouji." The young man turned around and looked at who had called his name. "Be careful out there." Chouji blinked but then just nodded at Abee as she ran off.

Fox Hunt
Chapter Eleven: The Battle for Konoha!

Orochimaru wanted just one thing in all his life, power over all Jutsus. However only one person ever had this power, and he was rumored to be only a myth. This power was the doujitsu that was known as the Rinnegan.

So Orochimaru had to come up with another way. So he had sold his soul to the devil and became what he is today. At one point he had truthfully loved his sensei, but now he hated him more then ever. It was all because of Minato Namikaze.

Orochimaru moved as fast as he could and had slashed Hiruzen across the neck. To his shock though Hiruzen smiled and disappeared into a poof of smoke. Shadow clone? The snake had thought. Then where is the real one? He got his answer when two feet had kicked him in the face.

"Damn it." Naruto said as he landed next to Hiruzen Sarutobi. "I was aiming for his face not his ass." Orochimaru looked at the blond and hissed. "Aw, did I make the little snaky mad?" Naruto then gave the snake Sannin the one thing that made everyone mad. He gave him a one figure salute.

"Now, now Naruto you should respect your elders." The third Hokage said with a smile. Naruto looked at him. "Your right, point me to one and I'll try." Naruto said back to him. Orochimaru ran at the blond wanting to kill him slowly.

Naruto blocked the punch, Hiruzen then went to kick his former student. Orochimaru bent back letting the kick sail over his head. However this gave Naruto the chance that he needed and kicked the Snake in the groin.

Now Orochimaru had felt many things in his life but the pain that shot though his body was something that no man should ever feel. Naruto frowned. So he did what any other guy would do when he felt his member getting kicked. He screamed in pain.

"Hey, snake face, you scream like a little girl." Naruto said. Orochimaru looked at him and hissed at him again. "Barrier…" Orochimaru started to say. "now!" No sooner as he gave the command that a barrier had appeared before the three of them.

"This can't be good." Naruto said as he looked at the third. "You okay grandpa?" Naruto asked. Hiruzen smiled over the last few years the two of them had grown close. Almost to the point of being a family. "I'm fine Naruto." Hiruzen said as he looked at Orochimaru who started to stand up.

Only to get punch once more in the face. A crunch was heard as Naruto had broken his nose. "Oops guess I don't know my own strength." Naruto then grabbed Orochimaru broken nose and snapped it back into place. Only to broken it some more. "Ouch that had to hurt." Naruto jumped back as Orochimaru tried to punch him.

"Do you think this is some game I'm playing hear?" The Snake said after fixing his nose. "After I kill the old man I will kill you!" Orochimaru then went though some hand signs so fast Naruto had trouble following them. When Orochimaru was done Hiruzen eyes widen.

"No!" The old Hokage yelled out. However the deed was finished as three coffins had started to rise from the ground. Hiruzen had tried to stop them from rising, sadly though, he was only able to stop two out of the three.

When the coffin had opened a blond hair young man had step out. Hiruzen eyes had widened. "Minato." Naruto looked at the old Hokage. He then looked at the man before them. "Dad?" Naruto asked as he titled his head.

Minato turned to look at Orochimaru. Minato sneered at him but he couldn't really do anything. "Hello Naruto." The former fourth Hokage said. "You've grown." Naruto glared at his father. "How's mom?"

"Mom?" Orochimaru asked. "Tsunade, you dumbass." Naruto said. "So you knew?" The younger blond said. Minato just nodded. "She's good. I guess by raising me she feels that she would have made it up to you." Naruto told his father.

Orochimaru glared. He now knew why he hated the two so much. Not only we're they related to Tsunade by blood, Minato was her son. "Naruto I'm sorry about what has to happen." Minato said. "Snake face use a forbidden jutsu that can bring the dead back to life."

Naruto was pissed now. Not only did his father was forced back to life but someone was killed so it could be done. Naruto glared at Orochimaru. He then looked back at Hiruzen. The old man could probably handle Orochimaru by himself but not for long.

Naruto wasn't too sure at how long he'll be able to fight off his father though. Naruto watched as Orochimaru placed a seal within Minato's head. Once that was done though the ash that had covered Naruto's father cleared.

Standing before Naruto was his father. Gone was the warm he had just seconds ago. Now Before him Naruto was facing the Yellow flash of Konoha. The only man in the village history to ever get a flee on sight order during the third ninja war. It didn't help that He was also Naruto's greatest hero.

"Kill the boy." Orochimaru said, and like that Minato ran towards his son and started to throw punches left and right. Naruto could barely hang out as he started to block his father's punches. Naruto knew Minato was good he didn't become the best by sitting around and doing nothing.

Hiruzen watched as Naruto and Minato fought. He glared at his former student. "So your quest for power had made you do the unthinkable." Hiruzen said. "I should have killed you when I saw the signs." Orochimaru smiled at him.

"Peace had made you soft." Orochimaru said. "There was a time when you would have killed an enemy without thinking." The Snake master said. "Have you grown so soft that you can't kill the one person you saw as a son?"

Hiruzen looked down. When Orochimaru was younger he had just lost his parents, Hiruzen had took him in and raised him with his two other sons. However has time when on, and people close to him had started to die, Orochimaru started to look for a way to be immortal. That path had landed him down the dark side. "The child I saw as a third son had died when you were born." Hiruzen said.

Minato and Naruto…

Naruto was panting hard as he blocked his father's moves. So far Minato haven't used his deadliest Skills yet and Naruto was happy for that. Damn it. Naruto thought. No matter what I do I can do enough damage to beat him. Every time Naruto was damage his father the older blond would heal just as fast.

Guess it's time to take it up a notch. "Wooden Shadow Clone no Jutsu!" Naruto yelled out as he had thrown a few seeds up into the air. On the way down though there was a popping sound and three Clones of Naruto was standing next to the real one.

"Attack of the elemental dragon!" Naruto and his clones all yelled out at once. No sooner as that was said, each of the Naruto had thrown an attack of each element. Earth, fire, water, wind and lighting each mixed in and from a huge dragon like attack that had crashed into Minato.

Dust had rose up after the attack making it almost impossible to see what had happen. Naruto waited he had to know if this attacked had worked. However a few seconds later though had Naruto in pain and a kunai was pulled out of his side.

Naruto was down on the ground the second the knife left his body. Blood was dripping to the ground as he looked up at Minato, who was healing right before his eyes. "The thunder god move." It wasn't a question. Naruto could feel himself healing at a fast rate. Standing up he looked at his father in the eyes.

Naruto could tell that his father didn't want to fight him. Naruto himself didn't want to fight him either. However the seal that was placed inside Minato's head made him do otherwise. That's it! Naruto though. I have to destroy the seal. Which means that I have to, shit. Naruto looked back to see that Hiruzen and Orochimaru was having trouble. No choice I have to use that move.

Naruto had jumped back so that he would have enough room. Here goes nothing. "Solar flare!" Naruto yelled out pulling his hand to his face his figure spread out and his eyes closed. What had followed next was a light so blight that it had not only blinded Minato but Orochimaru as well.

"Hurry up and finish him!" Naruto had yelled out to the Hokage. "You only have a few seconds." Naruto then took a stance unlike any other. I have to time this just right. "Dragon Slave!" Naruto called out as he throw his hands forwards. The attack had left Naruto's hands and had it Minato.

When the attack cleared Naruto wanted to be sick. If Minato had been a real person he was have been dead. However because the Minato before him wasn't the real Minato Naruto didn't really kill him. With the body gone, Naruto saw that his father sprite was standing before him.

"Good job son." The sprite said. "Don't feel bad about what you had to do." With a smile Minato lifted up his hand to said good bye. "I've never been so proud of you my son. Love you." And with that Minato was once again gone.

No time for tears. Naruto thought as he called for his swords. The dragon slave took allot out of me but I can still fight. Naruto jumped right into the fight with Orochimaru and Hiruzen. "Tag your out." Naruto said to Hiruzen. "Take a break." Naruto blocked Orochimaru's attack and countered with the dragon fang sword.

"Last time snake breath you hand the upper hand. This time it won't work." Naruto had kicked at Orochimaru who had jumped out of the way. "Fool, do you really think you have what it takes to defeat me?" Orochimaru said. Naruto grinned.

Placing one of his swords down Naruto reached up and took off his glasses. Orochimaru gasped as he saw Naruto eyes start to change. "The Rinnegan." The snake said. "But how?" Naruto smiled. He picked up his sword. "It was a gift from a goddess." Naruto wasted no time as he ran at Orochimaru. The Snake master didn't act in time and his left arm was sliced off. Orochimaru scream filled the skies, making everyone who was fighting to look around. Because of this though Konoha went on to finish what Suna and Sound had started.

Konoha Main square… (Does Konoha ever have one?)

Ino and the rest of the team were moving the kids as fast as they could. They had also told them not to look around the village. Just as they were leaving the academy though, a group of Sound ninja started to attack them.

Ino and the rest made quick work of them though. There one concern was that the future of Konoha would be safe. "We need to more now!" Shikamaru yelled out. The group was moving the kids as fast as they can. Iruka Teams NCIS former sensei was helping as best he could as well.

Just then the group made a wrong turn. They were face to face with a squad of Sound and Sand Ninja. The team and Iruka could do anything though if they did it would have put the children endanger. Just as the team was making plans the enemy ninja didn't notice that sand had slowly started to cover there feet until they hard. "Sand Coffin!" and just like that the group from Suna and sound was no more.

"Glade you're on our Side Gaara." Chouji said as he shook Gaara's hand. Temari looked at Shikamaru and smiled. "Glade you're okay." She said. Shikamaru nodded, and just like that Team NCIS and the Sand Siblings started to lead the children and civilians to a safe place.

Orochimaru, Naruto and Hiruzen…

Orochimaru was not having a good year. Looking to wear his left arm had once been he turned to look back at Naruto just as used a fire ball jutsu to turn his arm into ash. "Hey Grandfather." Naruto said as he looked at Hiruzen. "Let's give the man a hand."

Orochimaru barely had time to block any moves that the younger man was giving him. The swords met and the sound of battle was once again heard. Seals on Naruto's arm had started to glow and with a quick block Naruto said. "Phoenix fire." The phoenix blade had started to glow and with a spin strike had cut though Orochimaru's sword and had cut into Orochimaru's chest.

As soon as the sword left Orochimaru chest, the wound burst into flames causing more harm that one would think. However the attack came at a high price for Naruto. Thanks to the fight with his father, and then latter with a rematch with the Snake Sannin, Naruto was at the point of falling asleep.

Naruto was breathing hard so was Orochimaru as he looked at the young blond. "So much power." He said. "Where did you get this power?" Naruto fell to his knees. The blond looked at Orochimaru. "I have power before I have people that I need to protect." Naruto said. "It's the reason why you could have never been Hokage." Naruto and Orochimaru started to stand up.

The two looked at each other some more. Naruto wasn't sure how much longer he can fight the Snake Sannin. He was running on empty. Somehow Orochimaru must have known this as he sword or what was left of it hard started to glow. "Just give up." Naruto said. Orochimaru shook his head and lifted up two figures from his hand. The broken blade lifted off the ground and was heading towards Naruto. Orochimaru started grin. However that fell when Hiruzen had pushed Naruto out of the way and had taken the hit that was meant for the young man.

"No!" Naruto yelled out. He got up and ran to Hiruzen just before he had it the ground. Hiruzen looked at Naruto. "Thank you Naruto." He started to say. "The last few years of my life had been fun." Naruto had tears in his eyes. "Don't be sad, you don't look right with a sad smile." Naruto tried to smile but he just couldn't do it.

Orochimaru watched. He was losing blood but he had to see Hiruzen death. "The old fool should have just let you die." Orochimaru said. Naruto looked up at him. "Shut up." Naruto said as an aura of red started to surround the young blond. "Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't a fool." Naruto gently laid Hiruzen down. "He was a leader that everyone had loved, even you at one point had loved him."

As he looked up Orochimaru had seen that Naruto eyes had turned red. However what had Orochimaru backing away was the fact that Naruto had started to change. Red fox like ears had appeared on top of his head, along with a fox tail. His nail had turned into claws and his teeth had sharpened. "You'll pay for what you did." Naruto growled out.

Elsewhere…

Ino had fallen to the ground holding her sides as the former curse mark had started to change her. An aura much like Naruto's only white had surrounded her body, giving her fox ears and tail. Her nails also had changed into claws and her eyes, while the same color had changed.

Her ears and tail was the purest white anyone had ever seen. This change had also gave Ino a power bust so high that it was felt half way across Konoha.

"What's happening?" Ino asked as she stood up. The others looked at her and then at another ground of Sound ninjas as they made their way to them. Ino turned back to her team. "Go I'll handle them." The others nodded. They didn't want to argue with her.

Back with Naruto and Orochimaru…

"What the hell happen to you?" Orochimaru asked as he backed away. Naruto looked at himself and smiled. Kitsuna had just informed him that he is now able to control the seal mark that Orochimaru had placed on Naruto.

"Remember that hicky you gave me?" Naruto asked. "I'm in full control of it now." Orochimaru eyes had widened. This fight was over. There was no way he can face Naruto like he was. He was losing blood and if he didn't end this now he was a goner.

Naruto however must have read his mind and in a blink of an eyes was standing in front of the Snake Sannin, before Orochimaru could do anything though, Naruto had punched Orochimaru so had his fist went though his stomach.

The Snake traitor couched up some blood. "You're not leaving." Naruto said. He lifted Orochimaru up. He then clawed Orochimaru across the face. Orochimaru's vision was cut in half as he lost an eye. Naruto then throw the former Sannin to the ground.

Weaken greatly Orochimaru looked at Naruto. "Damn you to hell boy." Orochimaru said as he had spat blood into Naruto's face. Naruto didn't even grin as he kicked Orochimaru in the face causing the slash marks to bleed more.

"Traitors to Konoha are to be put to death." Naruto said as he held up his hand palm up. "For your crimes and for the death of Hiruzen Sarutobi, I Naruto Uzumaki hereby order you to die." A ball of pure blue chakra appeared in Naruto's hand.

By now Orochimaru wasn't surprised. The summoning of Minato and while it failed the others had taken a lot out of Orochimaru. When Naruto attacked he was already at half strength. However this boy had more power then even Orochimaru had at his age. This kid was dangerous.

Just As Naruto was about to finish off Orochimaru, four ninja's had gotten in his way, and one of them had kicked Naruto away from their master. "Time to go." One of them said as he picked Orochimaru up. "We'll finish this other day." Another one said.

"You little shit I should kill you." The red hair one said. She was that had kicked Naruto away. She turned to leave Naruto got up and when the Anbu failed to catch then he started to power up an attack. "Phoenix fire bomb jutsu!" Naruto shot out five fire balls, then them came together to form a phoenix.

The attacked hit not only Orochimaru but one of the sound four. The explosion that followed had knocked Naruto off his feet. The sound four looked up to see that the attack had done its job. One of there team mates was dead and Orochimaru had lost both legs and was burn badly. Once again they had picked him up and ran for it.

Naruto form flashed once and he was back to normal. He calmly walked back to the body of Hiruzen. "Hey kid." Hiruzen said softly. "You did really well." Naruto sat next to him and took his hand. "But the cost was so great." Hiruzen shook his head.

"No it wasn't Naruto." Hiruzen said. "Because of you many lives were saved today." It was getting harder to talk. "The path of a ninja is a hard one, you most of all know this." Naruto took his hand. "Never give up in what you believe, most of all never give up hope." Naruto nodded. "Thanks you for making my last few years worth living." With his last words Hiruzen Sarutobi passed away.

Tears started to fall down Naruto cheek. The day was won but at a high price. Naruto reached over and gently closed the man who, in just a few short years was like a grandfather to him and closed his eyes. Naruto didn't leave his side.

To Be Continued...

One of the things I always wanted to have been done was that Naruto stays by Hiruzen side as he had died.

So in this chapter Naruto pretty much kicks Orochimaru's freaking ass. Not only that but we finally get to see Naruto new powers thanks to the curse mark. This pretty much changes his form, but not only that, but thanks to their link Ino's mark also allows her to change as well.

Will there be a second stage to their mark as well? Maybe I know the answer but I'm not going to tell you.

So Orochimaru in down, and loosing blood. Will he make it to make Naruto's life a living hell? Which member of the sound four was killed thanks to Naruto's attack? Well again I'm not telling you. You just have to read and find out.

Okay now I like to tell you that the Dragon slave in this story is NOT the same as the one used in Slayers. Naruto combine several elements. It's not as powerful as the real dragon slave used in the other series.

Solar Fare is pretty much the same as the one in Dragon ball.

As for the Elemental Dragon attack? Not sure where the name came from but the attack combines earth, fire, wind, water, and lighting it's a high powerful attack.

As for the Phoenix fire bomb attack again not sure where I got the idea. Its starts off like a phoenix flower jutsu but then the fire balls combine to form a phoenix that when hits something explodes.

Phoenix fire is like what Asuma does with his knives. Using it with the phoenix blade Naruto can cut though anything. (Expect adamantium.)

Well that is it, I hope it was wroth the wait. So please send me those reviews and I'll keep writing.

Kidan Out.
