Hello my fellow MasterNaruians! This chapter will be to the length you like that will and is ensured. Different people are joining us so our number is growing. Let's go into this exciting chapter.

Sasuke was half awake and felt at ease somehow. The presence around him made him feel comfortable. Although he didn't want to notice what it was, he took it in. He was literally lost in his imagination. He then feels a body shifting, but paid little attention. He hears a soft and sweet mourn and opens his eyes slightly. The only thing in his view was luscious long blonde hair. Little later he finds his arm around the person. Their skin was soft to the touch.

They backed into Sasuke, making him smirk. He wanted to get a look as to who this person is. As he lifted his head he notices it was a female. He moved to the face and stared at her face. She looked so peaceful sleeping. Something caught his eyes when he moved his head back down. When he looked again he got seriously frightened. There, right in front of him, were three distinct whisker marks on her visible cheek. He saw her eye twitch but it soon opened slightly.

As she turned to face him a light blush was on her cheeks. Her blue eyes were staring at Sasuke sweetly. Seeing this beauty, his cheeks lit red. She looked down to see his arm a little too close to the base of her breasts. It was that moment she fully awoken and took in the situation. She delivered a hard slap to his face with a glare in her eyes. To be honest she almost felt violated. It was as if Sasuke did something.

"You pervert! I should kill you!" blasted the girl.

"I'm just as confused as you Naruko," Sasuke fired back.

Naruko didn't believe it for a second. "By the way you were looking at me you looked like you liked the situation!"

"You need to believe me."

"Yeah right. Go die in a hole."

With that she left the tent to see everyone staring at her. She looked back oddly at them. By the looks of them, they were waiting for her to show up. They also looked like they were hiding something from her. She thought over her situation in depth. First, she goes sleep with Gaara, she wakes up with Sasuke, everyone waiting for her, and the fact Gaara isn't freaking out or, at the least, asking questions. She knew they didn't do it.

"So did you like your wakeup call sis?" Naruto asked.

"No I didn't, but the same can't be said for Sasuke. Did you guys do this?"

"That we did," everyone answered.

"Come on, we were younger back then and you are still doing this. You need to grow up."

"Thanks Kyuubi," Naruto stated as a smile graced his face, "You can't say nothing sis since you were already thinking of a way to get us back."

They laughed while Naruko growled and went into her tent. Sasuke came out rubbing his cheek. It didn't take long for them to realize the red hand print on his cheek. They all thought of when they heard her slap him and now, seeing the print, they knew that had to hurt. Sasuke sat with the others and took note of how different they looked, especially Ino and Temari. Temari let her hair grow a bit so now her hair stopped at the top of her back.

Ino trimmed her hair so it stops at the middle of her back. She allows Naruto to lay his head on her shoulder since it gave her the opportunity to play with his hair. Although a little annoyed by it, he allowed it by closing his eyes. As everyone talked for a while Sasuke just seemingly stared at Ino the whole time. It was the first time seeing her like that anyways. She noticed the staring and motioned to Naruto below her and she brought her hand to her neck and brought it across.

-Half an hour later-

The group was dashing through the trees at full speed. The sun was blazing, but thankfully because of their speed they almost couldn't feel it. It wasn't long before a common forest was known. All the shadows that were cast by the tree canopies and the cool breeze told them they were close. They stopped for a brief moment to go over the plan one last time. With that out of the way, they continued to proceed forward.

-In Konoha-

The Hokage was busy with her paperwork. In those years Naruto and Ino been missing the Third Hokage passed and in his place was a new Hokage, this one being a female. Her name is Tsunade, the granddaughter of the First Hokage, and she was being assisted by her trusty and loyal friend Shizune. With her being the Hokage and a legendary medic she was back and forth from the mansion to the hospital.

"Lady Tsunade, we have a problem!" Shizune announced running in.

"What is it Shizune?"

"Rouge ninja just entered the Leaf's border. They're heading straight for Konoha."

"We'll stop them before they reach the Leaf."

She summoned ANBU with their leader to take care of the problem. They bowed and vanished from the room. She took precautious measures just in case they somehow got pass the ANBU team. She, along with Shizune, went up to the top of the mansion where she made her announcement. Everyone listened intensively and got ready in case these rouge ninja do come there.

Tsunade watched as ninja got ready to face this powerful threat. She turned around to go back to her desk. When she did so, she didn't bother to sit down; instead she stood by the glass window overlooking the village. She thought of who could this be that they want revenge on Konoha. Just then Kakashi knocked on the door opened it and started explaining what happened 4 years ago. She was stunned, but at least she has an idea who they'll be facing.

-Naruto & co.-

They were racing through the trees when something was heading their way. They realized it was a kunai and jumped away. Before they could get too far from the kunai the paper bomb attached to it exploded. The ANBU made themselves noticeable not seeing anyone. Just then the group showed themselves and they had annoyed looks on their faces. It was clear that they didn't enjoy that little surprise attack.

"Leaf's ANBU, never thought you guys would still be around," Naruto stated.

"It doesn't matter now since this will be as far as you go. And we will make sure of that," the leader said.

"And what makes you think that?" Ino asked.

"We are second best, next to the Hokage. Plus we a great in numbers."

"It's about quality, not quantity my friend," Naruko announced.

"We shall see about that!"

As they charged at them Naruto took a quick headcount and saw that each of them can take on two except one. He made it clear to leave the leader to him. With that they jumped at them. Each person got their two opponents and went separate ways. The leader commended Naruto for splitting them up, but followed with the quantity speech. Naruto reminded him of what his sister told him and charged.

-Ino POV-

With her being apart from the rest of the group she stopped and noticed the two ANBU on her trail. She smirked and dashed at them. They withdrew their swords and prepared to slash at her. Her Kyuubi eyes flared and saw them bring their swords to meet her. She caught the blades with her fingers stopping them. Throwing the swords up, she punched one away and delivered a jaw breaking kick to the other. Recovering from the attack they dashed at her.

She met them halfway jumping over them. One saw her in mid-air and quickly ran through hand signs. A fireball was seen heading straight for Ino. With her having very limited time to move she screamed diverting its track. As soon as she landed she slashed the one who attacked her. She turned to the other one with a wicked smile. Before he realized it her hand was through him. He fell lifelessly as she took her hand out.

-Sasuke POV-

Two ANBU were hot on his trail. Unsheathing his sword, he turned to face them. Sparks flew from points of contact with Sasuke's sword and theirs. Sasuke broke free and brought his sword down. One stayed and blocked his attack. The ANBU threw up his arms and quickly went to slash Sasuke. He blocked it but then the other came from the back with his sword pointed at Sasuke. He went to stab him when a purple ribcage was around Sasuke.

The sword broke when meeting the invisible armour. With the one in front of him being distracted, he punched him away. The two charged at them and Sasuke formed the upper half of its skeleton. Sasuke quickly announced it being his Susanoo. The Susanoo punched the two away, before Sasuke himself delivered the final blow. He jumped up leaving the Susanoo for a brief moment before black flames headed towards the two, killing them.

-Naruko POV-

Although she wished for more opponents she had to settle with this. She easily dodged their attacks as they gave chase. She quickly turned around and dashed towards them. She kicked the first one and followed up with an uppercut to the other. With the first one recovering from her attack he started his counterattack from behind. With his unsheathed sword, he dashed at her. It wasn't long before he got tangled in something. When he looked it was tails.

With that one immobilized she turned her focus to the one charging at her. He showed no fear in taking her head-on, but soon that will change. He brought his sword down to meet her but he sees her using his partner as a puppet. With her controlling his movement with her tails, she caused him to throw his sword. He dodged it but sees her above him with a Rasengan in her hand. She vanished as he was propelled to the ground and delivered the final blow to the other.

-Gaara POV-

After making enough room between the others and himself he turned to face his opponents. It was safe to say neither of them knew their reactions. The two jumped at him and brought their swords to meet him. Sand swirled around Gaara's open palm creating a sand spear. He launched it and they dodged effectively. They brought their swords and slashed Gaara. It didn't take long before the sand clone broke apart. They started to look at the spear in the sky.

When they looked, sand was already holding them tightly. Gaara brought them up to his level as the sand covered their whole bodies. The sand slowly started to squeeze and push against them. After it got tight enough Gaara loosened the grip and called back the sand. Their bodies fell lifelessly but just as a reassurance Gaara hit them away with his Shukaku tail lashing behind him. They went flying until they were not seen.

-Temari POV-

As she dashed through the trees the ANBU flicked a couple kunai and shuriken at her. She quickly summoned her fan and blew them in the opposite direction. They saw the incoming projectiles and moved out of the way. Temari waited and listened for the ANBU. With a smirk, she spun around quickly and gave a kick in the gut to one and used her fan to blow the other upwards. She punched the grounded one in the chest and kicked him in his head.

She then used her fan to send him threw a couple trees. She looked up to see the other coming down and she diverted his path to go where the other went. She quickly threw up a set of kunai with paper bombs and shuriken. She swung her fan which increased the speed of the projectiles. It went into the depths of the forest and silence reigned before explosions erupted throughout the forest. She smirked as she heard the sound of fire eating trees.

-Kankuro POV-

While he got them separated from their team he got Crow ready. They didn't wait for him to charge, so they sped up and brought their swords to meet him. When they looked he was holding a kunai in each hand. He pushed the two of them away and connected his chakra stings to Crow. With the two ANBU still recovering from Kankuro's push, he used Crow to launch kunai at them. The ANBU fell backwards dodging them but when they looked back he wasn't there.

Before they caught on, Crow took a hold of one. It was only a matter of time before another puppet held the other in place. This one in particular carried the features of a female. The grip became tighter on them to the point they dropped their sword. He moved his puppets upwards and let them go. Before they could counterattack he jumped up slashed and stabbed them with their own swords. They all fell back down to the ground with Kankuro standing as the victor.

-Naruto POV-

Naruto stood facing the leader of the ANBU. The two of them unsheathed their swords and dashed at each other. They brought their swords to meet each other and they blocked each other's attack. Naruto broke the hold and, while looking for an opening, attacked him. With each slash of his sword the leader would counter. Soon enough the leader went to slash Naruto's side and did so. It wasn't long before he dispersed in a cloud.

The leader looked around for him and heard something above him. He leapt to the side and Naruto crashed down into the earth. Naruto came out of the cloud with a Rasengan in his hand catching the leader by surprise. The jutsu came in contact with him and he got blasted away. Before long, he stood back up and started charging at Naruto once more. He was holding his sword with both hands as Naruto sheathed his sword. The leader picked up his speed until something caught his eyes.

Naruto went on his hands and feet with nine tails becoming visible. The tails lashed after the leader as he tried to dodge them. He went in different directions getting closer and closer to Naruto. The moment he was in arm's length Naruto slashed his chest and sent a wind shockwave towards him. It bounced him back until he was caught in Naruto's tails. They quickly pulled him towards Naruto, who took out his sword. His body was cut cleanly in half as Naruto put his sword back.

Just that moment his team appeared behind him. They all looked at Naruto's work and they agreed he went a little too overboard. He shrugged it off and knew they had to get to Konoha. They nodded and vanished into the trees. With them sending ANBU they knew they had to be close. They all wondered how they will fear against them. Considering how easy it was to beat ANBU, they were too used to peace. That will certainly change went they make their appearance.

After nursing a swollen arm, I'm finished. And to make things worst school begins Wednesday. Oh how I dread that day. Anyways, until next time my MasterNaruians. Peace.
