Demon/Summon thoughts

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of the characters created by Kishimoto, but all OC's are my own creation.

Narutomaniac: You're right Danzou recruits them when they are Chunin but that doesn't stop them from training in secret to improve their skills. They just keep those skills hidden and don't try to advance further in rank.

Shika Kev Prower: I was going to do have Sasuke be number 9 but after I reviewed the manga I noticed that this was the way they did it for Shikamaru and Dosu fight.

BrownPaperBag51: Sakura will not get training from Tsunade, but I do plan to have her trained and have her skills increased but she won't be a medic like in the manga.

Kereea: No it's not a secret but yes Orochimaru will be disguised as the Kazekage.

buzzbumble: Sorry Orochimaru won't kill Danzou.

Eyes of Truth: I will explain it a little but not go into too much detail.

Jangle: Tsunade gave Naruto that nickname when he was a little boy, (I believe even small boys are called 'Chan') she just shortened his name and added Chan. Also Tsunade is the only one he allows to call him that, anyone else will experience some form of pain.

Author's notes: Well it's sure been awhile since I updated huh? Sorry about that by the way. As I said before a little of Kin's past will be covered here, also the identity of one of the Kage Ga-Do will be revealed in the Chapter.

Now on with the story

Chapter 25: Kin's Past and Orochimaru's Plan

In The Forest of Death just outside of the Tower, about fifty yards behind the tree line, Orochimaru had his back against the trunk of a tree as he gazed at the Tower. Just then a figure landed behind him. As the figure got down on one knee Orochimaru asked "So, did you find their bodies?"

The figure raised his head and revealed himself to be Kabuto, he then looked at Orochimaru and said "Hai I was able to locate the bodies of both Dosu Kinuta and Zaku Abumi. However I was unable to locate Kin Tsuchi's body."

"I see…" said Orochimaru as he started off into the distance.

"But I have heard a rumor that she was captured shortly after Uzumaki Naruto knocked out Uchiha Sasuke during the second part of the exam. So it's possible that she's in the hands of the Konoha's interrogation teams." said Kabuto as he stood up and awaited Orochimaru's reaction.

Orochimaru started to chuckle before he said "Oh how simple marvelous! This is so much more entertaining than I had originally planned. But I can't just have one of my pawns running around doing whatever they feel like. She'll have to be dealt with."

Kabuto got a smile on his face as he said "Don't worry Orochimaru-sama. I'll handle it personally."

"I think not, if my guess is right… then you'll be no match for the one who has her. I'll handle this myself. Send for them immediately." said Orochimaru as he continued to gaze at the Tower.

"Orochimaru-sama, don't you think that's a bit premature? This is only Kin we are talking about here. If we have such a large group in the village, won't that endanger the plan?"

Orochimaru turned his gaze towards Kabuto before he hissed "It wasn't a request, I still have a use for that girl. So send for my Oto four now!"

(Roof of the Hospital)

Kushina opened the wooden door and stepped out onto the roof. As the creaking door closed she looked around and saw all the white sheets hanging on all the laundry lines. That's when her eyes suddenly caught movement behind one of the sheets. A small smile appeared on her face as she said "So what do you have to report?"

"As you suspected, Danzou intercepted the prisoners before they could be turned over for interrogation." said Raven as she stepped out from in-between the white sheets.

"I see, and what became of the prisoners?" asked Kushina as brought her hand up to her chin in a thinking posture.

Raven fixed her gaze on Kushina and she simply replied "They were all executed."

Kushina's gaze hardened as she looked down at the concrete floor and said "Damn! That complicates things. Maybe I should have put up more of a fight like Naruto-kun wanted to do after all."

"Kushina-sama there's something else that needs to be brought to your attention." said Raven as her voice tensed up a little and her body position shifted slightly.

Kushina caught the slight change in Ravens tone and shifted her gaze from the floor to Raven's face before she asked "What is it?"

Raven's voice remained tense and she lowered her head slightly as she said "After the execution I followed Danzou. When he got back to the village he made a beeline straight to the hospital. He then waited outside until Kakashi came out. After a brief conversation Danzou offered to change Hatake Sakumo status, in exchange for teaching Sasuke the Chidori. And to make matters worse Kakashi might actually accept the offer."

Kushina's eyes widened slightly at the news. Her expression then turned to a sorrowful one as she lowered her own head and fixed her gaze to an area off to her lower right while she sighed "I can't say that I'm all that surprised. After all his father always was a touchy subject when he was younger."

After a few moments of silence Raven lifted her head and looked at Kushina before she said "Kushina-sama, let me deal with Kakashi."

Kushina looked at Raven and with a hint of worry in her voice she said "Are you sure? I mean the last time you two met face to face…"

"I know, but that was a long time ago. Trust me Kushina-sama, I can do this… I have to do this for their sakes." pleaded Raven as she turned to look at the Hokage Monument.

When Kushina saw where Raven was looking she remained silent for a few moments as she contemplated Raven's request. She then looked Raven in the eyes and nodded her head in approval as she said "Alright, I'll leave Kakashi to you. So while you're dealing with him I'll go and have a little chat with the old man about what's going on behind his back."

(Several Hours Later In a Corridor Leading to the Holding Cells)

The sun was setting and an orange hue was cast upon the village as Naruto and Haku walked down the cold and dank corridor that lead to the holding cells. As one of the light's flickered and a rat scurried across the floor, Haku looked over at Naruto and asked "Naruto-kun are you sure it was such a good idea to leave Wolf in charge of all those Kage Bunshins that are cleaning out the scroll room?"

"Yeah, I've got a feeling that she won't betray us." said Naruto as they continued down the barely light corridor.

"You trust her that much, do you?" asked Haku with a bit of jealousy in her voice before she kicked a pebble across the floor.

Naruto came to a stop when he heard the tone in her voice. He then turned to face Haku and he said "Well… not to the extent that I trust you or Kaasan, but yes I think she can be trusted."

Haku blushed slightly before she tilted her head in curiosity and asked "But how can you be so sure?"

"I can't explain it, but I feel like I've met her somewhere before. I don't know where or when we met, but I've just got this gut feeling that we can trust her." said Naruto as he looked Haku square in the eyes.

When Haku looked into his eyes she could tell that he was sincere and believed what he said. So Haku got a smile on her face and said "If you believe she can be trusted than that's good enough for me. So let's leave it at that and go and find out what Kin knows."

"Sure thing Haku-Chan." said Naruto as he nodded his head before both of them headed toward the holding cells.

A short time later Naruto and Haku arrived at the holding cell area and saw Hawk standing guard in front of one of the metal doors. When they approached the room Hawk was guarding Naruto said "We've come to talk to Kin."

"Be my guest Naruto-sama, until Wolf gets back I really can't do anything anyway." grumbled Hawk which showed his frustration at his inability to move the interrogation forward. So he pulled out a key and opened the cell door.

Kin lifted her head when she heard the creak of the heavy steel door. Her eyes widened slightly when she saw Naruto and Haku walk through the door but soon put on her tough face and said "So, the person that captured me has decided to pay me a visit huh? To what do I owe the pleasure?"

Naruto looked at Kin, who was still seated on a plain and simple bed, he then held her gaze for a seconds before he said "What's with the tough-guy act? It's not like it's really going to make much difference anyway."

"I don't know what you're talking about?" muttered Kin as she turned her head to the side in order to avoid Naruto's gaze.

Naruto got a smile on his face as he said "I can see it in your eyes. That tough persona you use is just there to hide the pain and fear you've lived with everyday of your life."

Kin glared at Naruto when he said this, and before she realized what she was doing she jumped off the bed and grabbed him by his coat and snapped "Don't you DARE talk to me like you have any idea what I've been through!"

Naruto's smile softened as he met Kin's hard glaze. He then gently removed her hands from his coat as he said "You're right, I don't know what you've been through. But pain and fear are still the same no matter what the circumstances are, and that's what shows in your eyes. For they say the eyes are the windows into the soul."

When Kin saw the look in Naruto's eyes she was shocked for they reflected all the pain and suffering he endured before he encountered Tsunade and the others. Kin took a couple of steps back and sat back down on the bed as she lowered her head and then whispered "Those eyes, they remind me of when I look into the mirror."

After Naruto dusted himself off, he looked down at Kin and said "Now are you ready to talk, because with all the people after me I really don't have time for games."

Kin just kept her head lowered as she said "Go ahead, ask whatever you want."

Naruto just gave her a quick nod as he said "Alright, why don't you start with why that snake freak wanted me dead in Tanzuku Town."

(Just outside the Cell)

Hawk yawned and stretched his muscles as he stood guard. Just then he caught movement out of the corner of his eye. As he pulled out a kunai and looked in the direction of the movement and said "Show yourself!!"

"So… you were able to sense me after all, I'm impressed." said Kabuto as he walked out of the shadows and into the open. He then used his middle finger to shove his glasses back up on his face before his lips curled into a smirk.

Hawk narrowed his eyes and brought his kunai up in a defensive position as he said "Kabuto. Once I capture you, we'll be able to get all the information we need."

"You'll have to catch me first." said Kabuto as he threw a couple of Kunai at Hawk before he jumped out the nearest window.

Hawk ran over to the window and watched Kabuto fall before he thought 'On the run already eh? Well you won't get far.'

He then turned to the cell door and yelled "Naruto-sama! Keep an eye on the prisoner for me will you! I'm going after that Oto spy Kabuto!!"

(Inside the Cell)

Kin's eyes widened in fear when she heard the commotion outside and thought 'Kabuto?! Then he's already coming after me!'

Meanwhile Naruto turned his head toward the cell door and shouted "Kabuto?! WAIT! He wouldn't just run away!"

But just as Naruto was about to reach the door it was suddenly blown off its hinges and came flying at him. Naruto, Haku and Kin managed to dodge the projectile as it swished by and slammed into the brick wall behind them. As Naruto came out of his roll and got to his feet he looked over at the area where the door use to be and saw a large man with red Mohawk like hair walk into the room followed by three others, a redheaded girl, a man with six arms and another man with silver/white hair.

"Damn the security at this village sucks! Now I realize that it was a miracle that I made it to my fifth birthday before they nearly got me!" snapped Naruto as he narrowed his eyes at the Oto headbands, he then got into his fighting stance and added "If you think that you're going to get Kin without a fight, think again!"

"Oh this is just too entertaining. Who would have thought that you, of all people would be in here questioning Kin." said Orochimaru as he walked through the doorway.

'Shit this is bad! With the snake freak here, there's no way me and Haku-Chan can fight all of these bastards and protect Kin at the same time!' thought Naruto as he looked over the group who were between them and the only exit in the room.

Orochimaru got a snake like smile on his face as he said "But I'm feeling generous today. So hand over my test subject and I'll let you go."

"Test subject?" asked Naruto as he eyed Orochimaru carefully.

"Oh? She hasn't told you? She's one of my experiments, so give her back and I'll spare your lives." said Orochimaru as he tilted his head to the side.

Haku looked over at Kin and asked "Kin? What is he talking about?"

Kin just lowered her head and remained quite. When Orochimaru saw he couldn't help but laugh and once he calmed down he said "Ku, ku, ku, ku! I won't give her a chance to tell you. The deals off, now get them!"

"I don't think so!" shouted Naruto as he pulled out a smoke bomb and threw it to the ground. Once the glass coating shattered on the concrete floor smoke filled the room, Naruto grabbed Kin and put her on his back as he said "Haku-Chan we're getting out of here."

When Kin was grabbed she looked at the back of Naruto's head and shouted "Hey! I'm not a piece of luggage you know!" That's when his words sunk in and she asked "Getting out of here?! How do you plan on doing that when they are blocking the only exit out of this room?"

"Simple, LIKE THIS!!" said Naruto as he used his great strength and punched a hole in the old brick wall.

As the bricks and other pieces of debris went flying, Naruto and Haku jumped out of the hole and landed on one of the nearby tiled rooftops. Naruto made a simple motion for Haku to follow him and then took off towards the Hokage Tower.

Orochimaru walked up to the hole and watched the two run along the rooftops. He then let a smile appear on his face as he said "It looks like our prey is on the run. I do hope they can give us some amusement. After them! Make sure they don't get close to the Tower!"

Orochimaru's four companions bowed their heads and then took off after Naruto and the others.

After they were several feet away Haku looked over at Naruto and asked "Naruto-kun, do you think we'll make it to the Tower before they catch up?"

"Can't say, but I do know that we'd never be able to take them on and keep Kin safe at the same time! It would have been bad enough if it was just the snake freak! But he brought those four shinobi with him and to make matters worse we don't know a thing about them." said Naruto as he picked up his pace a little.

Kin looked over Naruto's shoulder so she could see his face as she said "You face an unknown enemy for the first time and you decide to run away? What kind of shinobi are you?"

Naruto shifted his gaze slightly so that Kin was in his vision before he said "Now look here! Our top priority is to make sure they don't get you! And in that location not only were we outnumbered but we were in a confined space the best course of action was to flee."

Before Kin could say anything Naruto and Haku skidded to a halt, which caused several of the roof tiles to dislodge, as two figures landed in front of them. When Naruto got a good look at them his eyes widened in shock, for he recognized them immediately as Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame.

A few moments later Orochimaru and the Oto four landed on the roof behind them. Naruto shifted his gaze from Itachi to Orochimaru and then back to Itachi before he sighed, "Ah shit."

(Meanwhile at the Hokage Tower)

Kushina walked through the main lobby of the tower and noticed that there weren't that many people here at such a late hour. As she made her way up the old creaking wooden steps she reflected on what she has learned 'Danzou is getting more brazen if he took those prisoners from that Jounin like that. I'm going to have to put my shinobi on full alert from this point out. Heh, It's a good thing that Shadow was released from the hospital right after the prelims were over, I'm going to need his info gathering abilities now more than ever.'

When Kushina finally reached the doors leading to the Hokage's office a Chunin suddenly appeared in front of her and said "I'm sorry but Hokage-sama is in a meeting right now and not taking any visitors."

Kushina grabbed the Chunin by his vest and pulled him toward her until they were face to face. She then got a serious look on her face before she said "If you don't get out of my way right now… you're going to be the one who's sorry. GOT IT?!"

The Chunin gulped and then meekly nodded his head, when he felt the K.I. that Kushina put out, and once released he scurried out of her way. Kushina then got a smirk on her face and as she walked past him she said "Good boy."

"Old man we need to talk!" said Kushina as she opened the double doors that lead to Sarutobi's office, only to discover that the meeting was with Tsunade, Anko and Shizune. Kushina got a confused look on her face and asked "Ok… What's going on?"

Sarutobi got up from his seat behind his desk and as he walked around it he said "Perfect timing Kushina. Tsunade and Anko are here to discuss the transference of the Namikaze Clan's assets from my custody to Naruto's."

"Then how come Naruto-kun isn't here?" asked Kushina as she scanned the room and found no trace of Naruto.

Tsunade leaned forward in her chair and looked up at Kushina as she said "Naru-Chan wanted to question Kin as soon as possible. So he asked us to take care of this while he and Haku-san headed over to the Holding Cells."

Kushina looked at Tsunade for a moment before she said "He asked you Tsunade-sama? Don't take this the wrong way, but why would he trust you to handle his money? You are notorious for your gambling problem after all."

Tsunade huffed and crossed her arms over her chest as she mumbled "I never gamble with my son's money… at least, not without his say so."

After everyone had a quick laugh Sarutobi sat back down in his chair, behind his desk, before he looked at both Tsunade and Anko as he said "Back to the matter at hand, as per Naruto's request half of the money will be transferred to Anko's account and the other half will be to a bank of his choosing."

Anko got a small glint in her eye when she heard this; she then rubbed her hands together and said "Now I'll never have to worry about running out of dango."

Before anyone could say anything else Kushina walked up to Sarutobi's desk and slammed her hands on the hard oak desk before she said "That will have to wait for now! I have something important to talk to you about!"

"And what would that be Kushina?" asked Sarutobi as he shifted his gaze to meet Kushina's before he picked up his pipe and put it to his mouth.

"I've just learned of what happened to those prisoners we captured in the vault." said Kushina as she took her hands off of the desk and hardened her gaze.

Sarutobi let out a heavy sigh and said "No need to tell me about that. I've already received a report from both Kugutsu and the Interrogation Squad. Both reported that the prisoners were transferred to Danzou who then reported that the prisoners were killed while attempting to escape."

"BULLSHIT!! I happen to know that those prisoners weren't killed while attempting to escape. They were EXECUTED!!" shouted Kushina as she clinched her fists in aggravation.

Sarutobi took a puff from his pipe as he said "I figured as much. Kugutsu asked me about it when he delivered his report but dropped it when he read the official report presented by Danzou. I'm afraid that Kugutsu is just far too trusting."

While all of this was going on Shizune noticed that Tsunade had a far off look on her face, it was as if she wasn't really paying attention. Shizune leaned down so that she was right next to Tsunade's ear and whispered "Tsunade-sama is something wrong? You seem a bit out of it right now."

"Remember when I had that uneasy feeling right before we confronted Orochimaru in Tanzuku Town?" whispered Tsunade as she shifted her gaze to meet Shizune.

Shizune nodded her head as she remembered the event before she replied "Hai, it wasn't too long after that, that we had to heal Naruto-kun and Haku-Chan's injuries from their fight with Kabuto. But why did you ask that Tsunade-sama?"

Tsunade turned her gaze to the open window beside the Hokage's desk and as she gazed out at the Hokage Monument she said "Because… I'm getting that same feeling right now."

Just then Jiraiya appeared and perched himself on the windowsill, before he, in a serious tone of voice, said "We have a problem."

(Back with Naruto)

Haku moved closer to Naruto as Kin got off of his back. Once Haku was almost back to back with him she whispered "Naruto-kun, PLEASE tell me you have a plan for getting us out of this mess."

"I'm working on it! I'm working on it!!" replied Naruto as he continued to shift his gaze between Itachi and Orochimaru.

Orochimaru glared at Itachi and gritted his teeth before he said "Itachi! What are you doing here?!"

Itachi looked at Orochimaru with an impartial expression on his face as he said "Naruto-kun is the Akatsuki's prize."

Orochimaru got a snake like smile on his face and pointed at Kin as he said "Well then he's all yours. All I want is the girl behind him."

"But if we eliminate you now. We can hunt him down at our leisure." said Itachi.

Kisame finally ran out of patience and pulled out his sword as he said "Enough of this! The others don't interest me; I just want to deal with that traitorous snake."

When Naruto saw that the two sides were arguing with each other he sighed in relief before he turned his head slightly so that Haku was in his line of view. He then motioned his head to the left to silently signal her to take Kin and jump to the adjacent roof before he jerked his right wrist which caused a kunai, with two explosive tags attached, to shoot out of his sleeve and land right into his hand; he then threw it so that it would land just a few inches from his feet.

The moment the kunai hit the ground the tags started to burn. This delay allowed Naruto to jump out of the way just as the tags went off and created a huge explosion.

(Hokage's Office)

Tsunade's eyes widened in fear as Jiraiya turned around and looked at the explosion before he said "Shit! He's already after her!"

Just then a gust of wind blew past him as Tsunade jumped out of the window at amazing speed; she was shortly followed by Anko and Shizune. Kushina ran up to the window and saw the three run along the rooftops towards the explosion before she asked "What's going on?!"

"Orochimaru is after that Oto shinobi that you guys captured during the chunin exams." said Jiraiya as he continued to look in the direction of the explosion.

Kushina didn't wait for Jiraiya to say anything else before she jumped out the window and moved at her top speed in the direction of the explosion. As she jumped from rooftop to rooftop she thought 'Damn it! I should have known that it involved Naruto-kun the moment that Tsunade-sama jumped out of the window! Just hold on Naruto-kun, I won't let that snake hurt you!!'

By the time Kushina jumped out of the window an ANBU entered the office just in time for Sarutobi to issue his orders "I want all available ANBU to converge on that explosion NOW! Tell them they are to use extreme caution and delay the intruder until my arrival."

"You're arrival? But Hokage-sama just who are we after that would require your attention." asked the ANBU.

As Sarutobi turned to follow Jiraiya he made eye contact with the ANBU and in a serious tone of voice said "Orochimaru."

(Back with Naruto)

Naruto, Haku, and Kin landed on an adjacent rooftop. Naruto then turned to make sure no one was after them when Haku asked "Naruto-kun, did you really need to make the explosion THAT big?"

"Well at least it can be seen." said Naruto as he shrugged his shoulders and looked at the fire that was created as a result of the explosion.

Haku shook her head before she looked at Naruto and said "Yes, but the same effect could have been used with just one explosive tag Naruto-kun. Instead you decided to attach another one to the kunai for a bigger explosion."

"We'll this way it will definitely be noticed. Besides it's always more fun when you make the explosions a little bigger." said Naruto as he scanned the smoke filled area for any signs of advancing shinobi.

Haku shook her head again and sighed "You've been hanging around Anko-san too long."

Naruto got a sheepish look on his face and after a few moments composed himself and said "We'd better get out of here before they find…"

Before Naruto could finish his sentence Orochimaru and the Oto four landed on the tiled rooftop in front of the group. Orochimaru got a smile on his face as he said "That was very naughty Naruto-Kun, you've cut into my play time. Now I'm going to have to take care of this quickly."

Just then Itachi and Kisame came out of the smoke and landed between the two groups. Kisame then turned to Itachi and said "Damn that brat made it harder for us. But I still call dibs on the traitorous snake, alright Itachi?"

Itachi merely closed his eyes and replied "Do whatever you wish. Just remember that we have limited time now."

Kisame let his lips curl into a shark like grin as he looked over at Orochimaru before he said "Sure thing Itachi, this won't take me long anyway."

"Why do you still oppose me? I already told you, that you could have the Kyuubi brat!" hissed Orochimaru as he glared at Itachi and Kisame while the Oto four moved between Kisame and Orochimaru.

Itachi's face remained expressionless as he opened his eyes and said "I already told you. With you out of the way we can go after Naruto-kun at our leisure."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes at the two Akasuki members, when he suddenly felt the approach of several powerful chakra signatures. He let a scowl cross his face as he jumped down to the disserted street below before he said "It appears we're out of time."

As Orochimaru started to sink into the ground he looked at Naruto and said "I'm going to make you pay for this you Kyuubi brat!! The next time we meet I'll show you what it truly means to go up against one of the Sannin."

When the man with six arms heard this, he got a shocked look on his face and said "But Orochimaru-sama, what about the girl?"

"Forget about her, she was only going to be dissected anyways." said Orochimaru just before his head completely disappeared underneath the ground. The Oto four quickly followed Orochimaru by doing some hand-seals and then they all disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Once Orochimaru was gone Kisame turned his attention to Naruto when he was stopped by Itachi who said "Forget about him for know. We have to get going; we have more important business to take care of."

"But Itachi! Why can't we at least grab the Kyuubi brat while we have the chance?" asked Kisame as he put his sword on his back.

Itachi turned to face Kisame before he said "Can't you feel their approach? We'd never be able to subdue Naruto-kun before the arrival of the other two Sannin, the Hokage, The leader of Kumori, and several squads of ANBU."

"Humph, you got a point there." said Kisame before he turned back to face Naruto and added "I guess you got lucky today you Kyuubi brat, but your luck won't last forever."

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Itachi and Kisame take of in the direction of the south gate. He then looked at Haku and said "Things were tense there for a minute huh Haku-Chan?"

"That's an understatement Naruto-kun. For a minute there I didn't think we would make it." sighed a relieved Haku as she stared in the direction of the south gate.

Naruto shook his head at this comment before he turned to look at Kin and said "Now before Kaasan and the others get here. Why don't you tell us why the snake freak was so desperate to get you back, only to dissect you?"

Kin realized that there was no other way around it so she lowered her head and mumbled "Because I'm a genetic freak…"

"Genetic… freak?" asked Naruto as he tilted his head in a curious manner as the roof continued to burn behind them.

Kin let out a sigh and said "I guess I'll have to start at the beginning…"

(Flashback)

A seven year old Kin ran through the dusty streets of her hometown when she ducked down an alleyway and hid inside of an old rusty trash can. That's when the man who was chasing her ran into the alley. After he did a quick scan of the alley he shout "Where the hell did that little thief go?! When I get my hands on her...!"

Kin lifted the rusty lid and saw that the man had given up. She let out a sigh of relief before she stepped out of the trash can. She then pulled out a dirty and torn picture and as she looked at the faded picture she snapped "I hate this! If you hadn't been killed, this never would have happened. Damn that shinobi for what he did!!"

The moment she started to head out of the alley and toward the main street she heard someone say "You poor child I see life hasn't dealt you a fair hand."

Kin immediately turned toward the voice and saw Orochimaru who came out of the wall. She got a scared look on her face and backed away from Orochimaru as she said "G-Genejustu…t-that means, y-you're a shinobi! I won't let you kill me the same way my parents were!!"

Orochimaru got a smile on his face as he saw Kin dart back down the alley before he used his superior speed to get in front of her. As Kin skidded to a halt Orochimaru put his hand to her cheek and said "Now, now I'm not going to hurt you child. I saw how that man tried to hurt you earlier just for taking some food so you could survive. I too know what it means to be concerned with only survival.

Kin blushed slightly at the close contact before she suddenly found the rocks on the ground very interesting as she meekly said "Y-you do?"

"That's right child and the way you escaped from that man gives me an idea." said Orochimaru as he removed his hand from Kin's cheek.

Kin looked up at Orochimaru with confusion written all over her face as she asked "What do you mean?"

Orochimaru looked down at Kin with his yellow snake like eyes and let a smile cross his face as he said "I see potential in you; you could become a very powerful shinobi. I could train you so you can get revenge on the shinobi that ruined your life. Think about it, I'll make you so powerful that they won't even know what's coming So what do you say child?"

Kin thought about it for a few minute before she got a serious look on her face and said "Ok, I'll do it."

(End Flashback)

"Wait a minute! So aside for the snake freak giving you a little kindness, you joined up with him to get revenge?" said Naruto as he brought his hands together to form a T.

Kin slowly nodded her head as a sad look crossed her face and she said "Yeah, at first I thought I found someone who acknowledged me and didn't want to use me like others had done before. But… that notion soon changed."

Haku got a sad expression on her face as she realized that they had something in common. Haku then remembered why Kin was telling them all of this and asked "But what does this have to do with you being a genetic freak?"

Kin closed her eyes and took a deep breath before she said "I'm getting to that…"

But before Kin could continue Tsunade, Anko and Shizune arrived. Tsunade immediately went straight to Naruto and checked him over to make sure he was alright. Once she finished her check she let out a sigh of relief and looked Naruto square in the eyes before she said "What the hell happened?! Who tried to hurt you? Was anyone else hurt? Where did they run off to?"

Naruto let out a sigh of frustration and shook his head before he said "Whoa, whoa, whoa just calm down Kaasan, everyone's fine. And to answer you're other questions: We were attacked by Orochimaru, who was after Kin here. Then while we tried to escape Itachi and Kisame showed up."

"Itachi?! Where the hell is he?!" shouted Kushina as she landed next to the group and then scanned the area but saw no sign of him, she only saw the people who were trying to put the roof fire out. The moment she finished her scan Jiraiya, Sarutobi and several squads of ANBU showed up.

Before anyone could say anything else Sarutobi quickly surveyed the area and then looked at Naruto before he asked "Which direction did Orochimaru escape too?"

"The snake freak sank into the ground while his henchmen used a jutsu to escape. As for Itachi and Kisame, they headed off towards the South Gate." said Naruto as he pointed in the direction of the South Gate.

Sarutobi's eyes widened at this information and quickly turned to his ANBU squadrons and shouted "Head to the South Gate Immediately!! Use whatever method necessary to capture Itachi and his companion! Understood?!"

The ANBU squadrons bowed theirs heads and then shot off along the rooftops toward the South Gate. Once they were out of sight Hawk landed in front of Naruto, then got down on one knee and said "Forgive me Naruto-sama I should have realized what was going on from the start."

"Where the hell were you Hawk?! I thought I ordered you to guard the prisoner!!" interrupted Kushina as she gave Hawk a harsh glare, while he got to his feet.

Hawk lowered his head in shame and replied "My apologies Kushina-sama, but Kabuto made an appearance and I thought it was best to leave Kin in Naruto-sama's care while I hunted down that spy. When I saw the explosion I realized what happened and immediately broke off pursuit to come back here. If I hadn't been so foolish, I would have realized what his true intentions were and remained where I was. I promise to be more cautious in the future."

Kushina rubbed the bridge of her nose and looked Hawk directly in the eyes before she let out a sigh and said "DON'T let it happen again."

The look in Kushina's eyes told Hawk everything he needed to know. So he lowered his head again and replied "Understood, and I won't fail you again Kushina-sama."

It was at this point that Naruto spoke up "Look we're getting off track here!"

Once he said this Naruto turned to face Kin and said "Now could you please continue where you left off."

Kin looked around franticly before she turned to Naruto and said "But…"

"It's ok Kin-san, no one here will judge you based on what that man did to you." said Haku with a reassuring smile.

"How do YOU know, that they won't judge me?" replied a defensive Kin as she pointed at Haku to emphasize her point.

Naruto got between Haku and Kin, and gently lowered Kin's hand as he calmly said "Trust me, I speak from personal experience when I say: these people won't judge you for something you had no control over."

"What do you mean, personal experience?" asked Kin as she got a curious look on her face, and soon her curiosity increased ten fold when she caught a brief look of sadness in Naruto's expression before it returned to normal.

After a few moments of silence Kin let out a sigh and said "Fine, fine I tell them as well… Now where was I…?"

"You had just told us how you meet Orochimaru." said Haku as she moved to stand next to Naruto.

Kin nodded her head in agreement before she said "Oh that's right, well to continue…"

(Flashback)

As Kin followed Orochimaru down a dimly light corridor, she looked around and noticed that the walls were made out of some sort of dark metal, but it was too dark to tell for sure. Kin's attention was immediately brought to Orochimaru when he stopped in front of a large metal double door, lined with black and yellow strips. She looked up at Orochimaru and asked "What's behind the doors Orochimaru-sama?"

Orochimaru got a snake like smile on his face and replied "You'll see soon enough child."

When the door opened Kin had to shield her eyes from the bright lights behind the door. Once Kin's eyes adjusted to the light she looked inside and saw a room filled with scientific equipment as well as test tubes and beakers. On the far left side of the room was a line of glass tubes, that were big enough to fit a grown man, and they were also filled with a strange liquid.

Suddenly a man wearing a white lab coat walked up to the pair before he looked down at Kin while he asked "Is this the new test subject Orochimaru-sama?"

"Indeed she is, and I'm expecting better results this time around. Understood?" said Orochimaru as he leered at the man.

The scientist backed away and stuttered "H-Hai Orochimaru-sama."

Kin, who had remained quite during their conversation, got a curious look on her face as she looked up at Orochimaru and asked "Test subject? What's going on? I thought you were going to train me in the same shinobi arts as the one who killed my parents."

Orochimaru looked down at Kin and got a menacing smile on his face as he said "And you will get your revenge my dear, but first I plan to make some changes… Ku, Ku, Ku!"

"Wha…" Kin started to say when she suddenly felt very sleepy and then collapsed to the cold floor in a deep sleep.

Kin slowly opened her eyes as consciousness returned to her. The first thing she realized was that she was completely submerged in the strange liquid she noticed in the glass tubes earlier. But before she could gain her bearings she heard someone say "Oh you're already awake? I see Orochimaru-sama's evaluation is as accurate as always."

When the man saw the confused look on her face he chuckled a little before he looked directly into the floating Kin's eyes and said "You're wondering what I'm talking about aren't you? Well you were put under a very powerful genjutsu a little while ago and your body has already recovered from it. So this makes you a perfect candidate for my experiment. You know, it's really too bad that you woke up."

Kin wondered what he meant by that when she suddenly felt an unbearable pain shot through her body, it was as if her very blood was on fire. As she screamed in pain the Man looked up at her and said "Now you'll experience the full pain of as my genetic modifications take hold… Oh well, this will be a good opportunity to see what kind of pain threshold you have."

The moment the man finished talking Kin saw him turn a dial and hit a few buttons before she felt the pain going through her body increase ten fold. Kin felt like her blood was boiling and once the pain became too great she let out an agonizing scream which nearly caused her breathing mask to dislodge.

Over the course of the next several hours Kin writhed in agony while the scientist continued to monitor the genetic manipulation process. When the process was finally complete Kin's body relaxed and her eyes closed, that's when the scientist looked at the latest readout. His eyes widened in amazement at the results and he said "This is amazing! I wonder if her being conscious has anything to do with this?"

"Good news I take it." said Orochimaru as he entered the laboratory and then walked up to the container that held Kin.

The scientist got a big grin on his face and turned to face Orochimaru as he said "Absolutely Orochimaru-sama, it appears that the Kurama Clan DNA has completely and successfully merged with this girls DNA. Here check the results for yourself."

"Excellent, it appears this one will be useful to me after all." hissed Orochimaru as his snake like smile returned when he read the readout.

"Absolutely Orochimaru-sama, Just think about it, when she fully masters her new abilities she could theoretically create a Genjutsu so powerful that any damage done in it would become permanent. The possibilities are limitless." said the scientist as he looked up at Kin as she remained motionless, floating in the strange liquid that filled the tank.

Kin barely lifted her eyelids so no one could tell she was awake and she saw Orochimaru approach her glass container before he gazed up at her. His snake like smile got a little bigger as he said "If this experiment performs up to my expectations, than my revenge will come that much sooner. Ku, Ku, Ku, Ku!"

As Kin floated in the liquid she closed her eyes shut so no one would realize she was still awake as she thought 'So he does plan to just use me after all…'

(End Flashback)

"Kurama Clan? I've never heard of them before. Just who are they? And what are they capable of?" asked Naruto as he crossed his arms over his chest before he looked around the group hoping to get an answer.

Tsunade brought her right hand up to her chin, in a thinking position, and said "Kurama… now where have I heard that name before?"

Kin lowered her head and in an apologetic tone said "Sorry, but all I know is they were good with Genjutsu."

"They are a small clan that resides within Konoha. They are a clan that are unusually good at Genjutsu, some have even gone as far as to say that they have a Kekkei Genkai." said Sarutobi as he lowered the tip of his hat so that they covered his eyes. He then let out a deep sigh and thought 'Orochimaru, just how far, will you go to accomplish your ambitions? It was precisely this mentality that cost you the Hokage title to begin with.'

Kushina looked over at Sarutobi as said "Well that explains why he went so far. Old Man you should have taken him out when you had the chance, instead of letting him get away the way you did."

Sarutobi's eyes narrowed slightly as he turned to face Kushina and asked "How did you know about that?"

"I have my sources." replied Kushina in a stern voice as she put her hands on her hips.

Sarutobi nodded his head in realization as he said "I see, then that means you must have a very good spy network."

Kushina's mood immediately darkened as her eyes looked at the ground and she mumbled "It apparently wasn't good enough."

Jiraiya cleared his throat to get everyone's attention before he said "It's not good to dwell in the past Kushina, besides we have more pressing matters to attend to."

"For instants, what are we going to do this little lady here." said Jiraiya as he pointed at Kin and then added "I don't think it would be such a good idea to put her back into one of the holding cells, considering how easy it was for Orochimaru to break in."

"He's right, if Orochimaru values that girl he won't just give up. He'll be back." warned a very serious Anko who had just finished munching on some Dango.

Tsunade thought about this for a moment before she said "I think I know where we can keep her. She'll be safe there guarded by people we can trust."

"I'll have Crow and Wolf on guard duty within the hour." said Kushina.

Sarutobi let out a sigh before he said "Then it's settled, I'll leave the rest to you, and don't tell anyone where you're keeping her. I don't want anymore rooftops destroyed ok."

When Naruto saw Sarutobi point to the smoldering rooftop he got a sheepish grin on his face and rubbed the back of his head as he said "Heh, heh What can I say? It was the easiest way to get everyone's attention."

"That it did Naruto-kun, but it's going to take weeks to repair all that damage." said Sarutobi continued to point at the demolished rooftop.

Tsunade moved between Naruto and Sarutobi before she put her hands on her hips and said "And just what do you think he should have done, HUH Sarutobi-sensei?!"

Sarutobi got very concerned when he saw that his comment had pissed off Tsunade. So he quickly replied "Don't get me wrong Tsunade, I don't blame him for what he did. I just want to avoid any future damage to the village."

Tsunade just stared at Sarutobi for a moment before she said "You better mean that old man. Come on Naru-Chan it's getting pretty late so let get going."

Naruto let out a sigh as he watched Tsunade head off toward their place of residence before he said "Man, I hate it when Kaasan gets like this. Oh well, come on Haku-Chan let get our new guest situated shall we?"

"Of coarse Naruto-Kun." said Haku as she motioned for Kin to follow her as Naruto fell in behind them as they quickly followed Tsunade down the dimly light street.

Once they were out of sight Jiraiya noticed the look on Sarutobi's face, so he said "You do remember how they feel about this place, right?"

Sarutobi let out a deep sigh and said "Yes I do, and it saddens me that my failures have cost Konoha greatly. But I still feel that the fate of this village rests upon his shoulders."

(Danzou's private office)

Danzou leaned back in his chair and looked at the giant map of Fire Country that was on his wall, as he contemplated the events he had just heard about. 'So Orochimaru is after that Oto shinobi that was captured last week. I wonder what makes that girl so valuable. And is there a way to turn this to my advantage?'

After a few more minutes of contemplation Danzou brought his hand up to his chin as he muttered "What are you really after Orochimaru?"

"Why the utter destruction of Konoha of course."

Danzou quickly swiveled his chair around to see Orochimaru rise from the floor. Once Orochimaru had completely entered the room Danzou narrowed his eye and asked "What are you doing here?"

Orochimaru got a disappointed expression on his face as he said "My, my do you really think so little of me? I'm here to discuss the offer your subordinate made to me in the forest."

Internally Danzou was truly surprised that Orochimaru already knew he was the one that made the deal, but externally he gave away no signs of his surprise. Instead he got a serious look on his face and said "And why should that offer still be on the table? I mean you did just threaten to destroy the village."

"Ku, Ku, Ku, well then how about I just kill you now and be done with it?" said Orochimaru as he let a predatory smile cross his face.

"Now, now lets not be to hasty, shall we? I'm sure we can work out a compromise that will be mutually beneficial." said a calm and composed, Danzou.

Orochimaru looked at Danzou curiously as he asked "What kind of compromise?"

Danzou let a smile cross his face as he said "How about I still help you kill that old fool, if you have useful knowledge of the jutsu I desire, and when you attack the village you only attack those shinobi loyal to him."

"And why should I just target them?"

Danzou leaned forward with a serious look on his face as he said "Because if you weaken his following enough my people can take over, and make this village the way it should have been. Once the takeover is successful, you'll have a powerful new ally."

Orochimaru got a smile on his face and said "So old man you still desire that foolish position huh?"

"I'm no fool. The council will never allow a cripple like me to take that position anyway. But that doesn't matter I find that I control far more power from the shadows anyway." said Danzou as he got a sinister smile on his face.

"Than what do you plan to do once I kill Sarutobi-sensei?" asked Orochimaru as he looked at Danzou curiously.

Danzou meet Orochimaru's gaze as he said "You don't need to worry about that, I have my own plans for dealing with that problem."

Orochimaru's smile turned more snake like as he said "Interesting, but I fail to see the benefit for me going along with your compromise."

Danzou arced his eyebrow and said "Oh, then how does this sound? If you agree then I promise you that you can continue your experiments with no retaliation from our village council. If your experiments enable us to remain strong then I see no harm in them."

Orochimaru's smile got even bigger as he thought of all the possible test subjects he could have if this worked. After a few moments of contemplation he said "Fine I'll go along with your plan for now. So why don't you tell me what this jutsu is?"

Danzou leaned back into his chair once again as his sinister smile returned and he said "Tell me everything you know about HIRAISHIN NO JUTSU." (Flying Thunder God Technique)

(Just Outside Danzou's Office)

Yuugao had been snooping around when she heard Orochimaru's voice so she went to investigate. After she heard what the two were talking about she narrowed her eyes and thought 'So that's what he's after. I have to inform Kushina-sama about this.'

But before Yuugao could even take one step she heard someone say "HEY YOU! Just what are you doing on this level?!"

'Shit! What's he doing here? There wasn't suppose to be another patrol through here for at least another fifteen minutes.' thought Yuugao as she turned to face the 'Ne' member.

When Yuugao didn't immediately answer the 'Ne' pulled out his sword and said "I said what are you doing here?"

Yuugao took up a non-aggressive stance and quickly said "Hold up now, I was just passing through on my way to my mission debriefing."

"Really? Then way don't we go in and ask Danzou-sama about that?" asked the skeptical 'Ne'.

"I guess there's no choice then." sighed Yuugao and before the 'Ne' could even blink she pulled out her sword and rammed it into his chest.

As the man's body fell to the ground Yuugao said "If you hadn't come by here so soon this wouldn't have happened. Now I have to clean up this mess before…"

"What's going on out here?" asked Danzou as he opened the door to his office, which forced Yuugao to leave the body where it was while she made a strategic retreat. The moment Danzou walked out into the hallway he noticed the dead 'Ne' member and after he finished looking him over he noticed that the wound was caused by a 'Ne' issued sword. So he narrowed his eye and said "So I have a spy in my ranks."

The moment Danzou finished those words another 'Ne' guard came into view and Danzou shouted "We have a spy amongst us! Have all available units lock this place down and do a floor by floor search! I want this traitor found NOW!!"

Yuugao had just passed through the last check point, and was only several yards away from the exit of the building when the alarms suddenly went off, signaling that the building was to put in lock down. She inwardly cursed as she thought 'Damn it! This just isn't my day! First that idiot had to make his rounds early and now this. What's next?'

"Hold on a moment!" said the 'Ne' Guard as he walked over to Yuugao while another nine guards completely surrounded her.

Yuugao looked at all the shinobi that surrounded her and asked "Is there a problem? I am on an important mission after all."

"You know the rules; anyone attempting to leave once the alarm goes off is to be detained for questioning. Now disarm and follow me." said the Guard as he put his hand out in a motion for Yuugao to hand over her weapons.

Yuugao tilted her head to the side and replied "But I was on my way out before the alarm went off, so surely I'm not responsible for what's going on."

"That may be true but orders are orders. So please hand over your weapons and follow me to the detention area." said the Guard.

'If I hand over my weapons they're sure to match them to the deathblow given to their dead comrade. Well my cover is pretty much blown anyway, so I might as well fight my way out.' thought Yuugao as she unsheathed her sword, which was still coated in blood.

Before the guards could even react she plunged her sword into the guard that was standing in front of her, she then pulled out two kunai and flung them at the guards on her right. One of the kunai imbedded itself right between the eyes of one of the guards while the other guard managed to move his head so that only a portion of his ear was sliced off.

As the wounded guard grabbed his ear in pain Yuugao ran up to him and plunged her sword into his chest. After she pulled her sword out she snapped her wrist down in an effort to get some of the blood off of her blade as she said "That's three down…"

By this time the other guards finally got over their shock and charged. Yuugao managed to block the sword swing from the guard that charged in right in front of her, and then delivered a punch to the man's jaw before she shifted her position, and did a leg sweep to the two that tried to attack from behind. She then delivered a vicious uppercut to the guard that came in on her right, and quickly turned to her left to block a sword strike from this guard. At the moment she blocked the strike, the sixth guard moved in on her exposed left side and aimed a kunai at her chest.

Yuugao's eyes widened when she realized that she wouldn't be able to move in time to avoid the strike, but before the kunai could even get close enough to cause any damage, a black kunai embedded itself into the temple of the attacking guard. As the man's lifeless body fell to the wooden floor, all involved parties turn in the direction the kunai came from and saw a figure shrouded in a black cloak standing in the doorway.

One of the guards looked at the figure and asked "How did you get in here?!"

"HEH! Wouldn't you like to know." replied the figure before he suddenly vanished.

The figure moved with blinding speed and moved over to the guard he killed before he pulled out the kunai. He then moved behind one of the guards and slit his throat, before he threw the kunai once again and nailed another guard between the eyes. As the two bodies fell to the ground he got behind his third victim and snapped his neck.

The moment he released the guards head, he pulled out the man's sword and then went after one of the remaining two guards. The black cloaked figure then made an elegant horizontal slash which completely severed this guards head from his neck, the figure then used the sword to pierce the chest of the last surviving guard.

By the time the figure released the sword, which he left inside the last guard; his first two victims hit the ground. Yuugao tightened her grip on her sword and readied herself for an attack when the figure turned toward her and said "You better hurry, more guards will be here soon."

"Why are you helping me?" asked Yuugao as she eyed the figure suspiciously.

The figure just shrugged his shoulders as he turned his back to her and said "Let's just say that your escape will be beneficial to me, and leave it at that."

Yuugao realized that she would get nothing further from the man nodded her head before she took off out the door, jumped onto the nearest rooftop and headed toward her destination.

When Yuugao was out of sight the figure turned toward the exit and started to chuckle as he thought 'Yes that's right, run and tell Kushina what you've learned. Have everyone's attention fixed on that old fool Danzou so that me and my men will go unnoticed until it's too late…'

(The Memorial Stone- The Following Morning)

Kakashi continued to do what he's been doing since before dawn, and that is to stare at the polished black stone the bore the names of all those shinobi who died in the line of duty. He let out a sigh and thought 'What should I do Obito? You were the first person to make me realize that my father's actions weren't as bad as I first thought. That he should be seen as a hero instead of a traitor, who ended up taking his own life. If I take the offer my fathers name will be cleared but the repercussions…'

His thoughts were soon interrupted when he heard someone say "I figured I find you here Kakashi."

Kakashi turned around and saw Raven with her back up against a tree. He eyed her cautiously and casually asked "What does a member of the Kage Ga-Do want with me?"

Raven kept her back up against the tree and in an accusing tone of voice said "I know what Danzou has offered you. I came here to find out what your answer will be."

Kakashi's visible eye widened slightly before he hardened his gaze at the masked shinobi and said "That's none of your business."

Raven turned her head so that her mask was in Kakashi's direct line of sight before she harshly said "It is my business, when a shinobi willingly endangers others for his own selfish gains!"

When she saw Kakashi narrow his eye further she scratched the back of her head before she let out an aggravated sigh and said "Do you really think your father would want you to betray your principles just to clear his name?"

"Don't talk about my father as if you knew him." snapped Kakashi who was starting to get a little aggravated with this masked shinobi.

Raven pushed herself off of the tree and stormed past Kakashi so that she was between him and the memorial stone. She then placed her right hand on the stone and took a few deep breaths before she said "You're right, I didn't know him personally. But I do know that he was faced with a very difficult choice: save his friends or the success of their mission."

Kakashi was visible shaken, after all how could this stranger know so much about his father. But before he could say anything Raven looked down at the stone and in a soft voice said "And he chose to go against the rules of the village and save his friends. I know this cost the village greatly and he was seen as a traitor because of it. I also know that this affected him so much that he decided to take his own life."

'How does this person know so much about my father? That information was classified as top secret after his death. No one outside of the village could possibly know about it.' thought Kakashi as his confusion got to him and he tried to figure out who this person is.

After a few moment of silence Kakashi said "My father was a hero who risked his life to save his comrades, and he should be viewed as such."

Raven shook her head and let out a sigh before she turned around and softly said "You really are a fool. I know he would never want you do go against your principles just to clear his name. If anything he would want you to uphold THEM!!"

Kakashi actually got angry when he heard this and he walked up to Raven and pointed his finger at her face as he shouted "How would you know what he would want?! You already said you didn't know him personally, so don't go making any kind of assumptions!"

An aggravated Raven shoved his finger out of her face and then moved closer to that they were face to face before she shouted back "Oh I wouldn't would I!! I'll let you in on a little secret! When I was younger I met a man who was trained by your father, and he deeply believed in his principles!! Though he never would admit it, I know for a fact that this was drilled into him by your FATHER!!"

Kakashi was taken back by this comment for he didn't know of anyone else who was trained by his father, and after he took a couple of deep breaths to calm down he asked "And just WHO is this person that was trained by my father."

Raven smirked behind her mask and in a mocking tone of voice said "You know him very well."

This completely flabbergasted Kakashi as he tried to figure out who she was talking about. Then when it finally dawned on him he felt like a complete idiot for not seeing it earlier, but this revelation caused him to sigh "You don't know me as well as you think you do. People DO change over time."

"That's become quite apparent…" snapped Raven as she turned around and looked down at the memorial stone, and once she put her hand on the stone as she got a sad tone in her voice before she added "Because the Kakashi I knew wouldn't even hesitate to make the right choice. He would never betray his principles to clear his father's name, especially when it would put others in danger."

Kakashi kept his eyes locked on Ravens mask as he sighed "That… was a long time ago."

Raven hardened her gaze behind her mask as she said "Bullshit!! I know for a fact that that person is still in there. He may be buried deep inside of you but he's still there."

Kakashi lowered his head in shame before he said "You give me too much credit."

"I guess I have…" sighed a defeated Raven as she looked at the monument one last time.

"I'm sorry Sensei, Obito I guess I failed again after all." said a saddened Raven before she disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Kakashi just stared at the spot Raven stood at a few moments ago and as a faint breeze blow across the area his eye widened in shock as he stuttered "R-Rin…?"
