'The Scientist' – Coldplay

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry,

You don't know how lovely you are.

I had to find you, tell you I need you,

Tell you I set you apart.

Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions,

Oh, let's go back to the start.

Running in circles, coming in tales,

Heads are a science apart.

Nobody said it was easy,

It's such a shame for us to part.

Nobody said it was easy,

No-one ever said it would be this hard,

Oh take me back to the start.

I was just guessing at numbers and figures,

Pulling your puzzles apart.

Questions of science, science and progress,

Do not speak as loud as my heart.

And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me,

Oh and I rush to the start.

Running in circles, chasing tails,
Lyrics
And coming back as we are.

Nobody said it was easy,

Oh it's such a shame for us to part.

Nobody said it was easy,

No-one ever said it would be so hard.

I'm going back to the start.

Oh, ooooo,

Ah, ooooo,

Oh, ooooo,

Oh, ooooo

The Kage of the five major sat in the Hokage Council Room, clad in their Kage robes. Tsunade the Godaime Hokage , Gaara the Godaime Kazekage , Tsunayoshi the Yondaime Tsuchikage , Miyoko the Godaime Mizukage , and Razan the Yondaime Raikage were all there. The five of them were quite concerned with Shi no Yami. Gaara and Tsunade were, however, the only ones who really knew what was going on.

"So Gaara-sama, Tsunade-sama," said the Tsuchikage. "You said Shi no Yami is underestimating us entirely."

"Ah," said Gaara.

"And that the first target is going to be Konoha at unknown time," said the Mizukage. "This is troubling. And their mission is to take down all the villages. They must have a vendetta against us all."

"I think I know why," said Tsunade. "You see the leader and second in command are what we called Ketsueki no sono Horobita (Blood of the Ruined). These people have birth defects that produce a powerful Kekkei Genkai that's one of a kind."

"But what about any future offspring," asked the Raikage.

"They can't have children," said Gaara. "The child in the female will not survive."

"I see," said the other three Kage.

"The leader's name is Yukio while the second in command's name is Koji," said Tsunade. "Ring any bells?" The Tsuchikage paled considerably.

"What," asked the Mizukage, noticing that the other Kage was losing color in his face.

"The Sandaime Tsuchikage kicked out two four year olds by the same name because of their abilities," said the Yondaime. Tsunade twitched. She had a feeling it was something like that.

"And what about Miki," asked Gaara, glaring at the Yondaime. "I'm sure that you are the one that gave her an honorable discharge."

"But you see she was getting unstable," said the Yondaime.

"That's no excuse," said Tsunade. "You could have helped her."

"No you don't understand what she can do! She's like a demon child," said Yondaime. Gaara growled.

"If you are aware that I once hosted a demon; I would you appreciate it if you didn't call someone who is nothing like a demon that," said Gaara, angry. Tsunade put a hand on his shoulder.

"Calm down," said Tsunade. "And what about you Mizukage-sama? Haru posed no threat to you."

"Haru is as unstable as a troubled child on crack," said the Mizukage.

"And Ringo what about him," asked Gaara to the Raikage. The other three Kage sighed.

"Unstable don't you understand," said the Raikage. "They are dangerous just like Yukio and Koji. That's why Hoku from Ame was honorably discharged after her grandfather passed. Kiyoshi was sent to Konoha because frankly the leader could not deal with him. Akira was honorably discharged by the urging of the council. Koyuki-hime objected but she was overruled."

"I can't believe you are actually taking sides with them," said the Mizukage. "We should have killed them, just like the Sandaime Tsuchikage should have done with Yukio and Koji." Tsunade and Gaara exchanged looks.

"Is that what you think," hissed Haru. It seems that the six plus Ronin (who never had a village to begin with) were listening in.

"You want us dead! How dare you after all I did to save your sorry ass," snapped Miki.

"You are so lucky we didn't accept Shi no Yami's offer," said Ringo, glowering. Hoku, Kiyoshi and Akira 's leaders weren't there so their glares were at the three Kage. Ronin of course was not too happy either.

"Calm down," said Tsunade to the seven.

"CALM DOWN! YOU WANT US TO FUCKING CALM DOWN," snapped Ronin. "I'm leaving, tell Naruto I'm sorry." Hoku, Miki, Akira , Kiyo, Ringo and Haru just followed Ronin without another word. Gaara rubbed his eyes. Tsunade sighed.

"This meeting will be postponed until later," said Tsunade. "I need Naruto here, ANBU." The ANBU watching them went off to find Naruto. Naruto was hanging with Sasuke, Sakura, Izumi, Hana, and Shisui at the Haruno household. (The Haruno parents were not too happy with that either).

" Uzumaki Naruto , Godaime-sama wishes for you to come to her office," said the ANBU.

"Sure thing," said Naruto. He ran off. Sasuke followed after him, while Izumi asked Sakura if she was going too.

"I learned over the years that when Sasuke looks at me a certain way I should stay out of the way," said Sakura. Izumi nodded and hoped everything is alright. At the Hokage Tower Naruto and Sasuke went into the office to see both Tsunade and Gaara.

"Naruto, I need you to find Ronin, Akira , Miki, Hoku, Kiyoshi, Haru, and Ringo," said Tsunade. "They left."

"What happened," asked Naruto, serious.

"It seems we found out way all of them but Ronin were honorably discharged from being a ninja," said Tsunade, "or sent on a long mission. The leaders are afraid of them. They say that they are unstable. I'm afraid they listened in and heard I tried to calm down, but then said to tell you sorry." Naruto looked at the ground.

"I'll go get them," said Naruto. "Sasuke you stay here!" He was not in the mood to mess around and not listen to. All Sasuke could do was nod in agreement. Naruto ran off using his speed to find them.

"NARUTO! GET BACK HERE! SHI NO YAMI IS COMING," yelled Sasuke, chasing after him. It seemed that bird flew in the Hokage's office with a note from Shi no Yami. Naruto paid no heed to Sasuke and ran off to find his friends.

'I knew that they all had depression and could do something stupid. Kami-sama I should have kept an eye on them and never let them near that meeting. If unstable is all the Kage are worried about, then they are all in a heap of trouble. Those seven have terrible anger and if Shi no Yami is coming. Yukio and Koji may convince them to join for real. Oh man!'

'Brat you are screwed! It seemed that the Shi no Yami know when to attack. It's like they were watching you all the whole time.'

'Thank you for your input! That actually was helpful.' All what was on Naruto's mind now was to get to his seven angry friends before Yukio and Koji did.

'The Warning Sign' – Coldplay

A warning sign,

I missed the good part then I realized,

I started looking and the bubble burst.

I started looking for excuses.

Come on in,

I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in,

I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones,

That I started looking for a warning sign.

When the truth is,

I miss you.

Yeah the truth is,

that I miss you so.

A warning sign,

You came back to haunt me and I realized,

That you were an island and I passed you by,

You were an island to discover.

Come on in,

I've gotta tell you what state I'm in,

I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones,

That I started looking for a warning sign.

When the truth is,

I miss you.

Yeah the truth is,

that I miss you so.

And I'm tired;

I should not have let you go.

So I crawl back into your open arms.

Yes, I crawl back into your open arms.

And I crawl back into your open arms.

Yes, I crawl back into your open arms...
