Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Naruto slowly woke from his peaceful slumber, he looked down at kyuubi and smiled, she was really cute when she was sleeping. Kyuubi had curled up into a ball with her head resting on narutos chest, naruto reached down and scratched her behind the ears, kyuubi moaned and slowly opened her eyes. She sleepily looked up at naruto

"morning naruto" she yawned as she got up and stretched

"morning hime" naruto said as he got up and walked towards the bathroom, naruto got into the shower and turned on the water, letting it sooth his skin. Kyuubi soon came in and got into the shower with naruto, naruto kissed her deeply as she helped wash his back. She slowly massaged his shoulders and back, scars riddled his back from years of training, kyuubi knew how almost everyone of them had happened but one stuck out the most for her. The scar on the right side of his lower back that travelled up his back and onto his shoulder shaped like a wave was from when he had had his twelfth birthday

Flashback

kyuubi was taking naruto to a small town near the edge of the bird country to see a movie and get some dinner for his birthday. Nate wasn't with them; he was off at the market getting more supplies for their trip to the rock country. Naruto had never had a real birthday because of all his training, he only got small gifts because they rarely ever went into town, they could manage mostly in the woods but they had to go back when they needed equipment

"so what movie do you want to see naruto?" kyuubi asked

"well, hellboy looks good but so does troy" naruto said "ive never even been to a movie so I wouldn't know"

"you haven't even seen a movie before?" kyuubi asked

"nope, they always kicked me out of the theatres before I could buy a ticket" naruto said

"ill make sure those bastards at konoha pay when we get back" kyuubi said

Naruto and kyuubi went to the booth and brought the tickets for hellboy, naruto thought the effects were a bit crummy compared to what he'd seen but he though it was still a good movie. After the movie they went to find a restaurant for dinner, they found a new one called the rainbow room. naruto ordered a lobster while kyuubi ordered a steak, extra rare. They talked over dinner and joked 

about things kyuubi had done in her long lifetime, she was surprisingly young for a nine tailed vixen, only 750 years and nine tailed foxes usually lived to 8000. After dinner they decided to go for a walk about town, they visited the docks by the lake, the shopping district where kyuubi managed to convince naruto to buy her a new dress and shoes. After the market they decided to head back to the hotel, kyuubi saw a small convenience store

"hey naruto, ill just be a minute, I gotta use the bathroom" she said as she kissed him and walked into the store. The storekeeper gave her the keys for the bathroom in the alley beside the store. When she came out from the bathroom four chuunin where in the alley each wearing a bird country headbands

"look what we have here guys" one of them said "look like this little girl's lost"

"come with us sweetie, we'll help" another said

"I'm fine thank you" kyuubi said as she turned to walk out of the alley, but two of them blocked her way

"she kinda cute for a redhead isn't she" one of them said

"why don't you come and have some fun with us" the other said, putting a hand on her shoulder

"stay away from me!" kyuubi yelled as she slapped the man and started to run, one of the men grabbed her and held her back

"get off me!" she screamed as she tore at the man's shirt "naruto!"

Naruto was reading a magazine in the store when he heard her scream, he rushed out of the store and ran to the alley, she was gone. Naruto looked around for anything that would give him a hint of what had happened, he saw a back piece of leather lying on the ground, it had half a crimson snake printed on it. There was a well known street gang in this town called the crimson snakes, they were pretty small but were responsible for most of the crimes in the town. Naruto jumped onto one of the building and looked around for them, he couldn't see anything. Naruto started jumping from building to building, looking through all the streets and alleyways, naruto made 20 elemental clones and sent them out to search the town, he tried the bars, the clubs and the hotels but nothing. Naruto was searching the red light district for the sixth time in a row when he got a signal from one of his clones, he had found kyuubi in an old abandoned warehouse near the docks, naruto got there in a minute flat, he perched on the roof and looked in through one of the windows on the top the building, there were maybe twenty five gang members there. Narutos eyes scanned the crowd, he found kyuubi tied down to a mattress with seven guys around her. Kyuubi looked up at him

"naruto!" she screamed, everyone looked up to see a blonde twelve year old dropping from the ceiling with a sword in one hand and a fire ball in the other. Naruto slammed into the ground, sending out a wave of fire which knocked out five of the gang members

"get the kid!" one of them yelled as they charged naruto. Naruto blasted the oncoming gang members with another wave of fire, a couple of chuunin and one jonin made it through, naruto smashed his sword into one of the attackers sending him back into a wall, one grabbed naruto from 

behind but naruto flipped and punched him in the face then the gut and kicked him into a wall. The jonin made a few hand seals

"lightning style: flash bolt!" the jonin yelled as a massive explosion of lightning radiated from him, smashing crates and barrels around the warehouse, one of the barrels cracked and spilled oil all over the floor, the jonin saw this and lit a explosive tag then jumped away, naruto brought up a wall of earth to absorb the lighting but was blown back when the oil ignited. Naruto coughed heavily, the oil fumes were already burning his lungs. Naruto got up and charged the jonin, he kicked left but the jonin blocked and threw him against a wall. Naruto got up and shot fifty blades of wind at the jonin who got hit full force by them, the blades cut him all over his body. the jonin managed to get up and charged naruto again, bleeding all over. Naruto brought up a boulder and shot it at him but the jonin dodged it and pulled out a sword from his belt, naruto brought out his own sword and blocked the jonins slash, naruto struck five time but the jonin blocked them al. Naruto spun and hit the jonin in the side of the face, sending him into a wall and knocking him unconscious. Naruto coughed and fell to the ground, he was getting weak from the fumes. Naruto crawled over to kyuubi and took off his shirt, he put it over her mouth so she didn't breathe anymore fumes. He picked her up and carried her out the door of the warehouse, naruto placed her on the ground and crawled to her side

"thanks naruto..." she said in between coughs

"hey, couldn't some other guy go running off with my girl" he chuckled

"naruto watch out!" kyuubi yelled as a very burnt and severely bleeding jonin came up behind naruto and brought his sword down, cutting a huge gash down narutos back, naruto screamed in pain as he fell to his knees

"stupid kid" the jonin said as he picked kyuubi up and slung her over his shoulder "you could never defeat an elite ninja like me, now I am going to take you friend and rape her and their is nothing you can do about it"

"no..." naruto wheezed

"oh yes kid" the jonin mocked

"no...no!" naruto said

"ill make her my slave forever" the jonin said

"NO!" naruto yelled as he moved quicker than even the sharingan could see and impaled the jonin through the heart with his sword then sent an electric current through it, exploding the jonins heart. The jonin screamed as his body convulsed and collapsed to the ground. Naruto crawled over to kyuubi

"naruto...we have to get you to a hospital!" kyuubi said as she tried to get up but fell over coughing up blood, she had burns and cuts all over her body.

Naruto slowly got up and rested kyuubi on his shoulders, then began running to the hospital. Naruto got there and took her to the reception. The woman at the desk immediately called the doctors who took them both away for treatment



End flashback

After the shower naruto and kyuubi got dressed and had breakfast, Nate was waiting for them at the table, he looked like he hadn't slept a wink.

"hey Nate, what happened with you?" naruto asked

Nate looked over at naruto "fangirls" he said

"I didn't know you had fangirls" kyuubi said as she took a bite of her toast

"that was before anko ripped my shirt off in front of the entire womens club" Nate groaned

"why were you with her?" naruto asked

"I tried dating again, she seems nice but you can trust her as far as you can throw her" Nate said "and by the way the council wants to see you at 10 o'clock" and with that Nate passed out on the table

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

At 10 o'clock naruto was at the hokage tower along with sakura and kakashi, they still hadn't found a third team mate, the council we're shifting uncomfortably in their seats, it wasn't very settling to be in a room with the most powerful ninja in konoha, shikaku stood up

"naruto, the council have called you here because there have been sightings of akatsuki near the border of the fire country, they appeared to have sent two operatives to investigate a small farming town. We don't knew what they would want with such a small town or what they plan but we need to find out" shikaku said

"so what do you propose?" kakashi asked

"we want your team to do recon around the area and find out as much as you can about akatsuki and what they are doing in the area" the hiashi explained

"but we don't yet have a third team member and this has to be at least a B ranked mission" kakashi said

"that won't be a problem kakashi, we have recently made a deal with kumo for one of their ninja to come over here and become a shinobi of the leaf" shikaku said "you can come in now Yugito"

A tall girl entered the room, she had blonde hair tied back in a long pony tail that went down her back, she wore a black t-shirt with short grey sleeves and tight black biker pants, she had gloves on and cloth wrapped around her arms

"team seven, meet the third member of your team, Nii yugito" shikaku said

Yugito simply glared at the council then turned to her team

"don't expect me to try and protect you" she said "the only reason I'm here is because my damned village didn't want me"



"oh boy...another pissed off powerhouse" kakashi thought

"well then don't expect me to help you when you're getting your ass kicked by two S ranked nuke nins" naruto said

"naruto, be nice to our new team member" sakura said before turning to Yugito "I'm sakura, its nice to meet you"

"hm...Another useless bitch I see, I guess every team has one idiot" Yugito said

Sakuras eye twitched, naruto and kakashi knew this was going to be bad. Sakura suddenly punched Yugito in the face and sent her into a wall, Yugito got up and charged sakura but before she could do anything kakashi was holding the two away from each other.

"sakura, what did you just say about being nice to others?" kakashi said

Sakura just glared at Yugito

"if your quite finished then meet at the gates at 5 o'clock" hiashi said "you will have another jonin for this mission as you are still a genin squad"

"who is it?" naruto asked

"an old ANBU captian named akira azani" hiashi said

"right then" kakashi said "team seven, pack your things and we'll meet at the gate"

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

At 5 o'clock team seven departed from konoha. they met akira at the gate. He had black swept back hair which grew put at the back, a scar over his left eye and what seemed to be a metal prosthetic arm. He wore a red shirt with a jonin vest over it and long black pants with a kunai holster on the left leg and had two short swords holstered on his back. He glared at naruto the whole trip. after 5 hours of tree jumping the team set up camp in the forest

"okay everyone, we'll set up camp here and continue tomorrow morning" kakashi said and looked at naruto, naruto nodded and waved his hands, the trees moved apart and a wooden house perched on the treetops grew from the trees, two small plots of earth exploded next to it and filled with hot water with a rock wall separating the two pools. Yugito looked shocked

"how did he..." she stuttered

"its best just to go along with it" sakura said as they walked up the stairs to the house. The girls set themselves up in one room and the men in the other. Naruto decided to take a bath to help him relax; his secret shame was that he enjoyed scented baths. Naruto eased himself into the hot water and let himself relax, a few minutes later he felt another chakra signature nearby, he turned his head to find Yugito standing at the gate to the onsen

"mind if I join you?" she said, getting in before naruto to answer

"aren't you going to use the female onsen?" naruto asked



"I would but that pink haired bitch is there" Yugito said "also I want to know how you made this place, do you have a bloodline?"

"no, its a special technique that doesn't use chakra and doesn't need chakra" naruto said "its basically element manipulation" naruto showed Yugito by generating some water in his hands and shifting it into different shapes then making it into an ice statue of her

"so why did kumo give you to konoha?" naruto asked as he put the statue aside

"those bastards have hated me all their life for something that wasn't even my fault" Yugito said

Naruto though for a moment "your a jinchuriki, aren't you?" naruto said

Yugito suddenly grabbed him in a head lock

"how the hell did you know!" she said before naruto dissolved to water "a mizu clone?"

"I know because I'm a jinchuriki too" naruto said as he appeared from under the water on the other side of the pool "I can also sense your demonic chakra"

"so which one are you?" Yugito asked

"i used to have the kyuubi inside me but I let her out" naruto said

"why did you let the demon out!" Yugito said, shocked that he would free a demon "wait...her! the kyuubi is a female!"

"yep and also my wife" naruto said, Yugito face faulted

"so you, a fourteen year old kid, married the queen of demons?" Yugito asked

"yeah, she's not as bad as everyone makes out" naruto said

"but what if she tries to destroy the village again?" Yugito asked

"I let her out and she left all her chakra with me, so now she is merely a human" naruto said

"but you're fourteen! Why are you married to her?" Yugito said

"because I have a rare bloodline and the council has decided to make me have 3 wives for the sake of restoring the bloodline" naruto said "but I don't mind, I love both of my wives, I don't know about a third though"

Naruto looked up at her "so which one do you have?" he asked

"the nibi" Yugito said "I'm on good grounds with her, she actually lets me use her powers without trying to take over my body, she says she doesn't want me to be weak"

Yugito looked down "when I was in my own village the villagers hated me, they would beat me and try to kill me because they thought I was the demon" Yugito said sadly "I thought it was good that they were sending me to another village, but that damned raikage told the villagers about my 

demon and they wanted to kill me, the day I got here they tried to attack me, even the ANBU did. I barely managed to escape" Yugito was tearing up now

"I just want someone to accept me, my parents fled the country because they didn't want to have a demon as a daughter, they hated me like the rest! The raikage even sent assassins after me!" Yugito said as she started crying, naruto put his arms around her, comforting her

"don't worry Yugito, as long as you're on my team ill make sure you never get harmed" naruto said, Yugito stoped crying and looked at him

"thank you naruto" she said

"where do you live?" naruto asked

"the council tried to get me a good apartment but he could only find an old one near the edge of town, no one wanted to live near me though" Yugito said

"well then you can come and live with me if you want to, ive got a huge place and I can easily find you a room" naruto said

"thank you naruto" she sobbed "you're the first person to show me this much kindness"

Naruto and Yugito got out of the onsen and got changed back into their gear

"well well, two demons for the price of one" a voice said as they walked out of the onsen "I didn't expect to get so lucky"

"who's there?" Yugito shouted

Akira stepped out of the shadows

"the person who's going to kill you two demons" akira said with his two swords drawn

"you took my arm you damn demon" he said as he point to naruto, then he pointed to Yugito "and you should have been killed at birth nibi"

"I warn you akira, I have no problems with killing you" naruto said as he sent out a massive wave of killer intent, making akira freeze for a second before he regained his composure

"just try it kid" he said as he rushed at naruto and tried to cut him in half, only to find his sword stuck in narutos side, naruto turned to rock

"a doton bushin?" he said before naruto punched him in the face and sent him flying, akira landed and threw 3 shuriken at naruto. Naruto grabbed the shuriken out of the air and threw them back at him but akira dodged them, naruto made a few hand seals and his sword appeared in his hands then split into ten blades all connected to narutos fingers by chakra strings. Akira made a few hand seals

"lightning style: great shockwave jutsu!" he yelled as he shot a huge bolt of lighting at naruto who shot an even bigger bolt, the two bolts collided and exploded. Naruto moved his fingers and sent all ten swords after akira, akira blocked two and dodged the other eight as they swung around and demolished the forest around them. Naruto sent the swords after akira while he was in the air and 

hit him in the chest but akira dissolved into water. Naruto looked around and saw him coming from the right, naruto shot 5 fire balls at him, akira dodged but was hit by the explosion, he landed and made six hand seals

"water style: great water fall jutsu!" he yelled as a giant whirlwind of water shot at naruto, naruto brought up an earth wall to protect himself but was punched aside by akira, naruto landed and looked around

"face it kid, you cant beat an ex ANBU captain" akira said

"let me tell you a little secret akira" naruto said "the kyuubi was banished from me long ago, now, I am the new kyuubi!" naruto grew 3 tails and naruto disappeared

"what the..." akira said before he was punched in the gut then the face, then he was kicked into a tree. Naruto appeared and shot a blast of compressed seishi chakra at him, akira screamed as he was blasted by the pure energy, cooking his insides. Naruto then shot four wooden stakes at him, two pierced his hands and two pierced his gut, pinning him to the tree. Naruto drew his sword back into one and walked up to akira

"you people are all alike, you all think we're demons but we're not." naruto said "think of a glass of milk, if you pour milk into the glass, does the glass become milk?

Akira said nothing, naruto placed his sword at his neck

"answer me" naruto demanded

"no..." akira croaked

"and if you place a top over the glass, does the glass become milk?" naruto said

"no..." akira said

"now, imagine I'm the glass, the milk is the kyuubi and the top is the seal placed on me" naruto said

Akiras expression didn't change

"thats a lie!" akira yelled "you just said you are new kyuubi!"

"then how can I be held responsible for my predecessors actions?" naruto said "I may be half demon but can still have feeling for people"

"a demon wretch like you could never have feelings, you will stay unloved for the rest of your miserable life" akira spat

Naruto drew back his sword

"actually I already have two wives, one of which is the demon who nearly destroyed konoha" naruto said

"ill see to it that that demon bitch is killed when we get back to konoha" akira said as kakashi appeared in the clearing



"naruto, what happened?" kakashi said, seeing the destroyed forest and dead akira

"good thing you're here kakashi, the demon took over naruto and he was trying to kill me" akira said, lying through his teeth

"I know for a fact that the kyuubi was released from him a long time ago" kakashi said "and if I recall you've always hated naruto for having the kyuubi in him, you're obviously lying"

"who cares! He's devil spawn that needs to be destroyed!" akira yelled

"you are a danger to this mission and by attacking a konoha shinobi with intent to kill you have labelled yourself as a rouge ninja" kakashi said "and we all know what happens to rouge ninjas" kakashi drew his thumb across his throat, he turned to naruto and nodded. Naruto raised his sword

"no...please don't!" akira pleaded as naruto swung his sword and lopped akiras head off, naruto and kakashi walked back to the house with Yugito following them

"you know I could've handled him" Yugito said

"yeah but as a gentleman I felt it was my duty to protect lovely ladies I'm with" naruto said making Yugito blush

The rest of the night went without a hitch

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The next morning the team set off for the town, by noon they had reached the small town by the river. They found a hotel and set up n their rooms. Kakashi has explained to them on the way that they would be doing recon around the town by night. Sakura and kakashi would take the forest while naruto and Yugito would recon around the town. When night came naruto created twenty elemental clones to cover the entire town. for most of the night they got nothing, a cat in a dumpster and a group of drunks trying a few moves on Yugito before she beat the snot out of them. Currently naruto was resting on a roof top with Yugito, showing her some tricks he learnt while with Nate

"this is one I used to do to freak people out in bars" naruto said as he took a swig of sake and burped out a giant flame, Yugito laughed at this.

"heres another I learnt while in the rock country" naruto said as shot a ball of ice into the air then shot the ball with a lightning bolt, the ball shattered and rained down glimmering rainbow shards

"wow...its beautiful" Yugito said

Just then naruto and Yugito got a call on their headsets

kakashis voice crackled through the headset "naruto, Yugito, we have spotted the akatsuki members on the north side of the town forest"

naruto and Yugito then set off for the forest and got there within minutes, kakashi and sakura were perched on a tree branch and masking their chakra signatures, naruto and Yugito jumped next to 

them and peered through the trees. There were two people in akatsuki robes standing by a house in a clearing, one had blonde hair tied back in a ponytail with a streak of it covering one of his eyes, the eye it was covering had a camera attached to it. The other was short and had short and messy red hair, he only looked about sixteen. This one however had 2 puppets following him, one had brown skin and spiked black hair, he was carrying a two long katanas, the other one was a tall brown skinned man with long silver hair running down his back in dreadlocks and carried a large scythe.

"I don't like this, un" the blonde one said

"shut up, you know what the leader will do if we fail this" the red haired one said

"I may be a S ranked criminal but even I have my morals!" the blonde one said "even for demons attacking small children is wrong, un"

"humans and demons have different behaviours" the red head said "now open this door"

The blonde on sighed as he approached the door. The door was made of metal and had large bolts going through it.

"why would they keep a child in a place like this?" naruto thought "that door was designed to keep something inside, or out..."

The blonde applied what looked like white clay to the door then stood back, he put his hands in a tiger seal

"katsu!" he said as the clay exploded, sending the door flying off its hinges, the two members stepped inside with the two puppets following them

"exploding clay? Where do I remember that from?" naruto thought as he took out a konoha bingo book and flipped the pages until he got to the S ranked criminals, he found the blondes picture and read the name, deidara dei. And beside him was the other one, sasori moto.

"I know that blonde one" naruto said

"how?" kakashi asked

"I've seen him before, he uses exploding clay that he molds with mouths on his hands

"ewww..." sakura said even though she thought that he was pretty hot

"he injects chakra into the clay and then is able to detonate them remotely, he's also able to use the chakra in the clay to animate the clay into birds and other things so he can create mobile explosives" naruto said "he uses different levels of chakra in the explosives depending on how big he wants the explosion to be, C1 is only a small explosion like we just saw, he generally uses C2 because of its high explosive capabilities, with C3 he is able to destroy anything over a ten kilometre radius but C4 is his most devastating. if he makes a giant copy of himself you have run and get as far away as possible, when that thing breaks up it releases a cloud of microscopic explosives that enter your bloodstream and when detonated, can reduce you to ash."

"what about the other?" kakashi asked



"thats sasori moto, the great puppeteer of suna" naruto said "I don't know much about him, I can see he uses puppets so he fights remotely. Watch out though, his puppets probably have numerous traps installed into them, poison needles, flamethrowers and pretty much anything else you can think of. I know he uses his own special kind of poison that kills within hours"

Just then both deidara and sasori came out of the house carrying a little girl with them, she had blonde hair, pale skin and she looked only about 5 years old

"this is the great hachibi?" deidara said "she didn't put up much of a fight, un"

"someone as young as her wouldn't have had the chance to train in their demon powers" sasori said

"by the way sasori, do you want me to kill those brats in the tree? un" deidara said

"dammit, he's good" kakashi said as he motioned for them to come out of the tree, they all leapt down from the trees

"so they have the kyuubi and the nibi with them, un" deidara said "wasn't the kyuubi hidan and kakuzus quarry, un?"

"hidan went missing years ago and kakuzu was found dead in the forest, I guess we now know hwta happened to them" sasori said

"so are we going to kill them, un?" deidara asked

"we might as well, ive been looking to try out these new puppets for some time and who better to test them out on then the kyuubi jinchuriki"

"so ill take the rest of the brats, un" deidara said as he molded some clay into 2 humming birds and shot it at the group, the group jumped out of the way before the two humming birds exploded on impact and left a crater in the ground. Naruto jumped and threw 3 shuriken at sasori, sasoris puppet deflected them and rushed at naruto swinging his scythe and carving up the trees around them. Naruto brought out his own sword and blocked the scythe then swung around and cut the scythe in two, the puppet jumped back and extended two blades out of his arms. The other had disappeared, suddenly a hail of senbon hit naruto, digging into his skin. Naruto poofed in a log, sasori looked around, scanning the area for naruto. 5 blades suddenly carved up one of his puppets, naruto came at sasori with a punch but the other puppet blocked the punch with its blades. Naruto jumped back and snapped his fingers, igniting the air around sasori and incinerating the two, when the smoke cleared they were gone. A kunai with an explosive tag attached shot at naruto from the left, naruto brought up a rock wall to stop it, then he melted the rock into lava and sent a wave of lava at the puppet, the puppet made some handseals and encased itself in a block of ice, the lava washed over him but only melted a bit of the ice

"how did a puppet use a jutsu?" naruto thought

"quite innovative isn't it?" sasori said, naruto looked around but saw no one "I have delvoped a way to make puppets from human bodys while still keeping their abilities to use justus, this one was from a clan that could use ice justu



"this one must have come from that haku kids clan" naruto thought "that bloodline could prove troublesome"

"why don't you come out and fight sasori?" naruto said as he activated his kyogan and focused it on the puppet in front of him, naruto made a few handseals and 5 kyo bushins appeared next to him, they were pure black and gave off an aura of death and despair "ive been wanting to test out these new bushins but have never found a good opponent to use them on"

The kyo bushins made some handseals and shot a barrage of ice needles at the puppet, the puppet jumped away and made some more handseals, but nothing happened, a wooden spike shot from a tree and embedded itself in the chest of the puppet

"how did you stop my jutsus!?" sasori said

"Simple, my kyogan can disable bloodlines and then use these clones to copy them" naruto smirked "they also drain life force of whoever they strike and cannot be struck themselves"

Naruto stomped on the ground and a wave of flame shot from his foot, incinerating the forest around them, all that was left was a large burnt out patch with sasori standing in the middle, completely unharmed. The puppet suddenly came back to life and rushed at naruto, naruto shot a gale of wind and rocks at the puppet the rocks impacted on the puppet and exploded, covering the puppet in flames, the wind sliced the puppet into dust.

"its just you and me now sasori, no more of your toys to interfere" naruto said

"you have shown promise but I'm afraid that you still lack the power to kill me" sasori said as he took off his robe revealing his puppet body, his heart was sitting in a canister in the left side of his chest "unlike my partner, my art is immortal"

Naruto smirked as waved his hands, rock bars sprung up from the earth and encased sasori, sasori raised his hands and shot flames from them, melting the rock

"you are full of surprises uzumaki, but surprises wont help you" saosori said as 8 blades on a pole sprung from his sides, his stomach opened and a coil of wire with a spike attached to the end shot out and lunged at naruto, it hit naruto square in the chest but the henge poofed away and revealed a black silhouette of naruto, the silhouette pulled the cable out of its chest and threw it back then shot a blast of fire at sasori while another clone shot a blast of wind, enhancing the flames, sasori jumped back and caught one of the other clones who tried to punch him, he threw the clone away and shot a canister from his wrist. The canister exploded in impact and showered the area with needles, the clones took the needles full on without any reactions. naruto appeared behind sasori and kicked him in the back, cracking the puppet casing. Sasori turned around and shot a blast of gas at naruto, naruto shot a blast of wind which blew the gas away

"stop fooling around kyuubi" sasori said

"so thats how it is" naruto said as he grew 7 tails, he grew fangs and red hair started to appear on his body, his hair spiked and became tipped with red "then let us begin"



Sasori pulled out a scroll and made a few handseals, suddenly a hundred puppets appeared and filled the area, naruto made a few handseals and a hundred kyo bushins appeared. The puppets lanched themselves at naruto, the clones reacted and took on each one, the ground shook as fire balls and lightnings bolts were flung everywhere. Red chakra began to swirl around naruto as he charged at sasori, the puppets all headed for naruto, naruto ripped his way through each one, he unleashed a giant wave of chakra, disintegrating every puppet around him. Naruto made a few handseals

"demon style: devils ground!" naruto yelled as the ground around him split and great rivers of fire flowed into the cracks, hundreds of hands made of fire reached up and engulfed half of the puppets. Naruto shot a giant blast of fire at sasori who dodged it but naruto came up behind him and kicked him away then shot a blast of compressed chakra at him, completely shattering his body which fell into the lava. naruto landed and looked into the lava to make sure sasori was dead, sasori suddenly rose up from the lava and shot a hail of senbon at naruto, naruto shot a gust of wind deflecting the senbon, naruto appeared behind sasori and kicked him into the air and then back into the ground. Naruto came down and smashed his knee into sasoris face, crushing it and cracking the ground even more. Naruto pumbled his body with punches, crushing it and ripping it apart. Narut got up as sasoris body began to join back together. Sasori was visibly tired

"dammit, why am I getting so weak" sasori thought

"my kyo bushins eat away at life energy remember? and we're in a field of them, eventually you'll be nothing but a shell" naruto said as he grabbed sasori and held him up, sasori started spinning the blades on his sides but naruto grabbed and crushed them, naruto looked into his eyes

"demon style: demonic illusion!" naruto said

Sasori fell into blackness. When he awoke he found himself back in his human body, he looked around and saw nothing but blackness. Suddenly all 291 of his puppets appeared around, he turned to see naruto and his clones controlling them all. One of the clones shot a hail of senbon at sasori who screamed as they pierced every part of his body, he hadn't felt pain since he was a child. He looked down to see not a scratch on himself

"for the next 2 weeks, you will be tortured by your own puppets without sleep or rest" naruto said as his clones started to advance towards sasori

"stay back!" sasori yelled but the puppets kept advancing, sasori screamed as the puppets began the 2 weeks of torture

Sasori opened his eyes to find himself on back on the battle field, all his puppets were scattered around him

"this is where you end sasori" naruto said as all of his clones grabbed sasori, sasori screamed as he soul was ripped from his body. the kyo bushins dissolved one by one, the smoke shot into narutos hand and solidified into a small black crystal



"hmmm...it didn't mention this in the scroll" naruto said as he stared at the small black crystal. Naruto shrugged and walked away from the battle field

Kakashi and the others were almost at their limit, even Yugito was showing signs of exhaustion. Yugito had used the nibis chakra to hold off deidara for as long as possible. Deidara was also weaking, he had used a lot of chakra during this battle and was at his limit. Naruto suddenly jumped onto the battlefield

"kakashi we need to go, I have secured the girl" naruto said

"we need to capture this guy, he already knows the location of the nibi and we would be putting konoha at risk if we didn't stop him" kakashis said

"fine" naruto said he disspeared and kicked deidara away then grabbed deidara around the neck, deidara started to gasp for breath

"demon style: demonic illusion!" naruto said

For the others it was only a second before deidara started screaming and failing about, suddenly his body went limp and he passed out. naruto bound him with rock bindings

"we should go back to the village now" naruto said "if we stay any longer the akatsuki might come after us"

Kakashi nodded as they all set off back to the village with the little blonde jjinchuriki

8 PM the next day

Because of the injuries sustained by team 7 the journey back was taking longer than expected, Yugito had sustained a nasty burn on her side and kakashi was suffering for chakra exhaustion. Sakura was doing her best as team medic but without proper supplies there was little she could do, sakura had suffered no more than a few cuts and bruises due to her healing abilities. the team was currently resting around a fire, it looked like the little girl they had rescued was finally coming out of her sleep.

"are you alright kid?" naruto asked, the girls eyes shot open and she jumped away from them

"w...who are you?" she said

"we're shinobi of the leaf" naruto said "who are you?"

"I'm nami mura" the young girl said "so are you going to kill me like the rest of the villagers try to?"

"of coruse not!" sakura said "we were ordered to take a look around for akatsuki members and we found you"



"its to dangerous for a jinchuriki to be living out in the open" kakashi said "so we're taking you to konoha for protection, I think you'll like it there"

"why don't you hate me like everyone one else?" the girl asked

"because we see people for who they are and not for what they have inside them" Yugito said

Just then they heard a groan from deidara

"looks like our prisoners awake" naruto said, name ran behind sakura, cowering in fear.

Deidara sat up groggily, when he found he couldn't move his hands his eyes shot open to find himself bound and lying near a tree

"dammit, I guess you brats caught me, un" he said

Sakura walked over to deidara and slapped him hard

"what the hell was that for,un!" deidara said

"that was for attacking an innocent young girl" sakura said

"hey I didn't want to attack her, the leader would kill us if we didn't capture her!" deidara yelled then looked down "I guess my family's as good as dead, un"

"what do you mean?" sakura asked

"I never wanted to be a part of this damned organization!" deidara said "they took my family hostage and forced me to join, they said they would kill them if I ever left, un"

"thats a load of bullshit!" Yugito said, naruto walked over and put a hand under the side of his neck

"what are you doing, un?" deidara asked

"he's telling the truth" naruto said

"how can you tell?" sakura asked

"his pulse is normal, if he was lying then his pulse would have increased" naruto said

"we still can't trust him completely" kakashi said "we'll keep him here tonight and see what interrogation as to say when we get back to konoha"

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Later that night they moved deidara into the house naruto had made for them/ deidara sat there in the dark, reflecting on his life, he was a failure as an artist and it now was going to get him killed. He wondered what his family now thought of him, they probably hated him for joining an S ranked criminal organization. He heard someone approaching his room, his hands reactive tried t get into his kunai pouch but he couldn't reach, they had taken away all his weapons anyway. Sakura walked into his room carrying a bowl of stewed meat and some rice



"hey" sakura said as she placed the food down next to him "sorry for slapping you earlier, I forgot you might have had a rough life"

"don't worry about, un" deidara said "I'm used to being rejected by women"

Sakura turned to leave

"hey, you forgot to feed me" deidara said

"do it yourself!" sakura said

"I would but I'm tied up remember" deidara said, smirking at his victory

Sakura mentally slapped herself for her stupidity and walked back over to deidara, she picked up the fork and fed him some meat stew

"it's like taking care of a damned child..." sakura thought

"by the way, I never got your name, un" deidara said

"I'm sakura haruno" sakura said as she continued feeding him

"fitting name for someone with such beautiful pink hair" deidara said making sakura blush

she couldn't help but peek at the mouths on his hands

"so...how did you get those mouths on your hands?" sakura asked

"I was born with them" deidara said "my whole clan has them, I can use them to inject chakra into things, I have one on my chest too"

"so can you taste things with them?" sakura asked

"yeah, but that's about all they can do, they cant digest food or eat so they're only good for attacks" deidara said "and other things..." deidara had a perverted glint in his eye, making sakura blush even more

"sorry about attacking you earlier, but I have to do what I do to protect my family, un" deidara said apologetically

"naruto said I should tell you..." sakura hesitated for a second "your clan was destroyed in a small war with amegagakure

Deidaras eyes widened for a second then clamped shut

"get out..." deidara whispered

"what..." sakura said before deidara cut her off

"get out!" deidara yelled as he kicked the tray of food away, sakura quickly left the room. deidara lay down and slowly cried himself to sleep

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx



The next morning they packed up the rest of their camp and set off for konoha again. deidara trailed behind them, he looked pale, like all happiness had been sucked out of his body. when they got to konoha the ANBU took deidara away for interrogation. Naruto met hinata at the gates and embraced her in a hug

"welcome back naruto" hinata said "I missed you"

"I missed you too hime" naruto said as he kissed her on the forehead

"how about we get some dinner tonight? My treat" naruto said as they separated

"sure, and I have a surprise for you afterwards" hinata said

"do you want to come too kyu-chan?" naruto asked as he turned to kyuubi

"I think ill let you guys can have this date to yourself" kyuubi said

Yugito took Yugito over to hinata

"hinata, this is Yugito yugito" naruto said "she's going to be staying with us from now on"

"nice to meet you" hinata said as she bowed to Yugito

"come on Yugito, ill show you where we live" naruto said as he lead her to the estate

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After showing Yugito where she would be living hinata took her shopping, she brought Yugito lots of clothes and other things for her new life in konoha. After they had finished shopping naruto got her set up in one of the guest bedrooms he had. At 7 o'clock naruto and hinata left for the restaurant, hinata was wearing a long red dress decorated with sequins and a pearl broach, to naruto she looked beautiful. Naruto had 'persuaded the owner of the best restaurant in konoha to give them a good table. Naruto and hinata order and talked about what had been going on since they were apart. Neji had apparently hooked up with tenten and shino was going out with kibas sister much to kibas dismay, it seemed everyone was finding love now. After dinner naruto took hinata to the top of the hokage monument, they gazed over the beautiful red and orange sunset over konoha

"remember this place hinata?" naruto said "we came here on our first date"

"and its still as beautiful as back then" hinata sighed as she lay on narutos chest, she sat up and looked away

"whats wrong hinata?" naruto asked

"naruto kun...there's something I want to tell you" she said "but I don't know how you'll react"

Naruto looked deeply into hinatas eyes

"hinata, you can tell me, ill love you no matter what" naruto said

"well..." hinata started to tear up "I'm pregnant..." she sobbed



To say naruto was shocked would be an understatement

"when...how..." naruto stuttered

"when we were on a mission I was constantly throwing up in the mornings, after deciding it was something more an just food poisoning kurenai sensei finally decided to take me to a doctor, he did some tests and found out that I was pregnant" hinata sobbed "I'm sorry naruto...i never ment for this to happen...i..."

Naruto wrapped his arms around her and let her cry into his shoulder

"its okay hinata, I don't care if we didn't mean for it to happen, ill still love you more than ever" naruto said "I wouldn't rather have a child with anyone but you hime"

Hinata and naruto stayed like this for what seemed like hours before naruto picked her up bridal style and jumped from the monument back down to the estate, he gave hinata a bath to help her relax and then went to bed. Hinat snuggled up close to him

"thank you naruto kun" she whispered before falling into a blissful sleep
