Hi all, here's chapter 38 :-) Sorry for the long wait. Thanks to everyone who is sticking with the story and all the messages and reviews, I get excited when an email pops up for this site:-)

"We have to leave. Now." The Kyuubi said urgently, as the sound of figures moving closer to the clearing. Hearing they would be having company in seconds, 'kichi grabbed hold of the boy and dispelled just as the Anbu came into the clearing. All what was left of the pair was a plume of smoke, Panther stepped forward observing the area were the intruder escaped from.
"Eagle, Cat, tiger investigate what just happened here. The rest of you are dismissed. I want your reports by o'six hundred hours tomorrow." Panther said authoritively, leaving in a swirl of leaves.
Panther stood stoically before Tsunade and Shikaku relaying what happened in the Forest of Death minutes ago. An unknown person or persons managed to breach Konoha's defences, and then slip out to kami knows where.
"Are you certain it was a summons the person used to escape?" asked the Jonin commander as he tried to piece together the puzzle.
"If you find anything report to me immediately." Instructed the Fifth, inclining it's hooded head, Panther left in a swirl of leaves. "Things just keep getting better."
A cloud of smoke appeared out of know where in some dense foliage, startling bat like creatures, causing them to flee into the night sky.
"This is as far as I dare take you." Said Gamakichi as he looked at his surroundings, nocturnal sounds filled the air around them. "If you need a quick escape, give me a shout and I'll try and get there for you, unless my old man stops me."
"Thank you Gamakichi." The blonde replied as he sorted out his outfit, before slipping off into the night. Gamakichi stayed there watching his friend before a loud screech filled the air, causing the poor toad to dispel in fright.
The night air was heavy as the lone ninja worked his way through the dense forest; a dark presence surrounded everything, as though it belonged there. For an hour the boy made his way through, dodging vile creatures which made his instincts scream at him to run and hide. Since he arrived he could feel Kyuubi's chakra more prominently under his own lively one. Everything was enhanced tenfold; the warmth of it could only be described as a warm summer's day. For the first time they seemed to be synchronising together flawlessly, it was something that Naruto wanted to keep. Two sides of the same coin.
"When we reach a ravine, head northeast for three and a half miles, there you should come across a set of cave system." Informed his companion, as he drew nearer to the ravine. Approaching the edge of the land before it disappeared into a large cut running for as long as the eye could see. Taking a deep breath Naruto jumped down into the abyss below.
Gamakichi arrived back home in the customary cloud of smoke, firstly he thought he was alone but the one being he didn't want to run into was his father.
"And where did you disappear off to Gamakichi?" came Gamabunta's rough voice, causing the young toad to jump out of his skin.
"Ohhh, Hey pops." He said nervously as he tried to calm himself down. "I-er went to see Naruto, to see how he was doing as I haven't seen him in a while." He was telling the truth, but with a slight twist.
"Is that so?" giving his son a pointed gaze, noticing his son flinch at being pinned with the intense stare. "Do not lie to me Gamakichi!" He shouted causing birds to flee the surrounding trees.
"But I did pops." The young toad said as he told his father the truth. The older one remains silent as he thought over what the younger one said.
"If I find out that you've lied to me Gamakichi, you'll regret the day you were born." Pinning him with a stern gaze. Satisfied with his work, he sent him on his way.
Landing silently into the ravine, the blonde began his journey northeast; a heavy layer of dark clouds obscured the night sky. Everything was going smoothly, successfully avoiding the patrols. Soon he was several meters away for the mouth of the cave, watching the two guards as they walked away from the opening, double checking the coast was clear he slipped into the cave. The cave was fairly wide lined with torches, coating the stone walls in an ethereal orange. Soundlessly, he navigated his way through the never ending passage way, soon the passageway was beginning to slope downwards; the torches dancing to a nearby breeze. Feeling the breeze running along the fine hairs on the back of his neck, he shivered slightly as he drew nearer to the source of the draft. His blonde locks danced lazily in the breeze as he cautiously walked out of the passage way and into a large underground cave; from the lowest point to the top of the cave at least a hundred feet or more, and it seemed to stretch for a good mile or so. He stepped into the large expanse walking up to an overhanging ledge, peering over his azure coloured eyes widened in pure shock as he stared transfixed on the scene below. Dozens, if not hundreds of Fell Beasts occupied the cave, the winged reptiles filled the ground, while others were latched onto the walls; some were even resting on the ceiling.
"Impossible…" a small flicker of fear ignited in the blonde's chest as took in the terrifying site before him.
"Naruto, push the fear away and focus on why we are here." The Kyuubi said trying to get the boy to focus on their ultimate goal, and not on the impending fear of total annihilation, against an ancient enemy.
"I know, Kyuubi. But seeing this… I can't help but fearing the future." He paused, his eyes absorbing everything. "Can we truly hope to win against her?"
"Think as to why we are here? We succeed in this impromptu mission and get her research notes, and then we can stop her from striking out against you in this way again. That in its self is a victory, a major victory against her." Her host mulled over what she said, everything she was say made sense in the teens mind.
"I understand Hinako. And thank you, I shouldn't of let my emotions cloud my judgement." He said softly, feeling slightly embarrassed at what he said.
"You are only human, Naruto." Was her response, sending a reassuring feeling through their bond. "Now, we have to tread very carefully through this place, without alerting any of these beast or their keepers. So stay in the shadows as much as you can." She instructed doing her part in trying to conceal the boy, gathering himself; he made his way through the inhospitable cave.
A serpent like head came away from the wall above the exit of the passageway; soulless eyes watched the intruder making his way among the beasts. A low rumbling growl vibrated from its chest, as he followed his unsuspecting prey.
Back in Konoha, Kiba woke up feeling like crap, pushing himself up he rested against the headboard. Everything felt sluggish, his head was pounding and he felt bunged up. Akamaru was lying down underneath the window, snoring quietly, other than that, there was no other noise coming from the apartment. He frowned at this; normally there was always some sort of noise, especially if Naruto was around, then it would be dropped pots and pans, but there's nothing.
"Naruto?!" silence followed after, Akamaru raised his head as he looked from his master to the bedroom door, waiting to see it open revealing the Chūnin. Minutes passed, still no answer of any kind, the brunettes frown deepened, chucking back the covers he planted his bare feet on the carpet and made his way stiffly to the door. Opening the door, he looked out onto the darkened hallway, everything was shrouded in darkness. Walking down the hallway towards the kitchen and living room, the cold wooden floor making his warm feet stick to the floor.
First he checked the living room just in case the younger boy fell asleep on the settee, but the room was just as empty as the rest of the flat. Walking into the kitchen he took in the room, the room was tidy. It was obvious that the kitchen hasn't been used in several hours, the clock on the oven blinked; 02:27.
A sudden wave of nausea hit him making him dash to the bathroom. After a few minutes of dry heaving, he swayed as he got to his feet. Shuffling over to the bathroom cabinet, he rummaged for some paracetamol to take away the persistent thumping inside his skull. Knocking back two white tablets, grimacing slightly at the bitter after taste he walked into the kitchen again to see if there was any dinner already cooked. A small note laid by the hob;
'Dinner in oven'
Sure enough there was a small casserole dish on the bottom tray; he noticed the oven was on low. Grabbing a tea towel he opened the oven door, instantly warm air came flying out along with a gentle aroma. His stomach gave a loud growl as the smell registered with his brain, taking the small disk out he put it on the hob, using his foot to close the oven door. Not worrying about a bowl, he plucked a spoon out of the cutlery draw and eagerly removed the glass lid. Steam escaped from the dish enhancing the aroma, the brunette inhaled deeply. What heavenly scent filled his stomach made it rumble loudly demanding to be fed. Plunging his utensil into the casserole dish, spooning out some chicken strew. Blowing on it a few times he shoved it into his mouth, waiting for the explosion flavour, but nothing. He could taste nothing; he was so bunged up that his taste buds abandoned him. A small whimper passed his lips, the one day his mate cooks something that smells amazing, he couldn't taste shit.
'The bloody irony.'
Bitterly thought the Jōnin as he shovelled the rest of food in his mouth. Feeling full but not satisfied, he left the used dish in the sink to soak he trudged through the empty apartment, making his way back to bed. When he returned to the master bedroom, he looked around the room. As his eyes looked around the room his eyes were drawn to the wardrobe they shared, something was drawing him to it, going with his gut feeling he walked over to the wardrobe, his hands gripping the smooth wooden handle. Pulling the door open reavealing the contents of the wardobe, scanning the items he noticed the Naruto's mission gear was missing along with a the majority of his shuriken and kunai were gone.
"Where have you gone, Naruto?" he asked himself, as he closed the wardrobe. A wave of fatigue began to make itself known, making his brain scream at him to rest. Releasing a tired sigh he switched of the main light, submerging the room in darkness. Feeling his way, he reentered the comfy bed, snuggling into the mattress, pulling the navy blue duvet up to his chin. Soon his breathing began to be slow and steady as he drifted off to sleep.
Silent footsteps made their way carefully through the cavern, using every hiding space available, as they navigated through hostile territory. Finding a overhanging Naruto laid down on his stomach and crawled to the edge to get a better look, at what the enemy was doing. Men and women were walking around the encampment doing various tasks. Some were wearing different types of armour; there was those who were wearinng similar armour which general soldiers wore, and the other seemed lightwieght, more like a second skin.
"Those are riders." stated Kyuubi, filling in the blanks for her host.
"Riders for what?" he asked back, to answer his question three fell beast and riders came flying into the cavern, all three landing gracefully. Naruto watched the three intently absorbing everything he could take in, while he was focused on what was happening below him, he didn't notice his stalker making its way towards him. Like the perfect preditor, it silently approached the unsuspecting blonde, in seconds it was within striking distance. It drew in a deep breath.
All the hair on the back of the Chūnin's hair stood on end, his brain sending off warning signals to his brain, as the deep breath was registered. It seemed as though everything slowed down as he turned his head in the direction of the noise. Cerulean eyes widen in shock, as the souless black eyes glisterned, flames licking the side of its peck like mouth. In a blink of an eye, a plume of roaring flames came shooting towards him. Rolling out of the way he rolled over the outcrop, tumbling down the steep incline. The beast continued it's assault spewing jets of fire after the teen. The attack caused complete pandemonium, startling the resting Fell beasts causing them to take flight while some zeroed in onto the disorinated blonde.
The troops which were stationed in the cave jumped at the sudden explosion of chaos. Hastily they drew their weapons, ready to attack any inturder that they came across. Naruto kept rolling, trying to evade the constent torent of fire being blasted at him. The beast paused for a second to renew it's attack, taking the pause with both hands, Naruto pushed himself up and began his escape. More winged reptiles attacked the ninja, causing him to evade the unrelenting attacks, for every evasive move he preformed he had to perform another to escape from a range of deadly attacks. Deeper into the giant cavern the blonde was pushed, sweat was dripping down his redden face from the intense heat of the flames. His outfit covered in dirt, blood and burn marks, holes of different sizes littered his clothing.
Further in he was pushed back, deeper and deeper he went, his heart pounding like a drum, adrenaline coursing through his veins. Again and again he parred blow after blow, the handful of clones were scatted all over the place, fighting their own battles. The grinding of steel against steel as Naruto's short blade locked with a soldiers sword, a battle of strenght began as they tried to beat the other. As he struggled to push back his opponent he noticed what looked like a tunnel leading out of the main chamber, focusing on his blade, he pushed some chakra into it, causing it to flare blue. With a burst of strength he pushed against the opposing blade, a hair line fracture shot across the weapon, before it snapped cleanly away, the momentum from the struggle continued as the blade sliced clean through the enemies armour. A surprised shout of pain left the soldier as he slid to the floor, taking this opportunity Naruto fled in the direction of the opening, in the corner of his eye he caught the movement of a fell beast rearing it head back, blasting a stream of flames across his path. He wouldn't stop in time, quickly thinking he dropped to his knees, flatterning his torso as close to the floor. His whiskered cheeks burned, the tips of his blonde hair singed as the flames licked at the tips. Staggering as he got to his feet, he continued on his path, ignoring the pain throbbing from his cheek, the nauseating stench of burnt hair. Again another colume of fire was shot in his direction missing him, several Fell beasts were now chasing him, hellbent on his destruction. A beast and rider landed in front of his escape route, roaring flames hurtled towards him. Like before, he kept running, straight into the flames without fear, with a mere meter between the flames and himself, he dropped to the floor, skidding along the floor, kicking up a load of dust as he slid parallel along the floor. Tantō in hand as he slid underneath the beast, his blade blazing blue as he thrusting it into the underbelly of the scaled beast, using the momentum of the skid to run his blade all the way down the beast. The demon screamed out in pain, toppling over as it tried to get away from the cause of its pain, the rider managed to get off the screeching demon before it fell onto its back thrashing around in agony.
Diving into the opening, the young Shinobi hastily made his way down into the abyss, his breathing laboured, his muscles aching from the strenuous useage of each and every one of them. Echoing footsteps sounded behinding shouts bounced of the cold stone walls. His eyes began to adjust to the darkness, his stomach dropped when he reached a dead end. His heart pounding as he tried to find an exit. There was none, he was trapped. A dozen or so heavily armoured soliders emergred with their swords drawn, torches pushing back the darkness, lighting it in an orange glow.
"There's no escape, for you Ninja." said a solider moving in front of the others. "Throw your weapons on the floor and come peacefully, and your life may be spared." Naruto tighten his grib on his Tantō, his eyes hardened, his feet getting into a fighting stance, his muscles tensing, ready to fight his way out. Behind the leader of the troops a couple of them caught movement from the wall which the intruder was standing in front off. More troops noticed the moving wall, which in the end didn't turn out to be a wall, but a scaled beast three times the size of the Fell beast. It's movements were silent dispite it's size, it's scaly head emerging from underneath its black wings. Emerald eyes narrowed dangerously at the inscets that dared enter it's den, it's mouth parting slightly allowing its sharp fangs to be visable. By the time that happened the soliders were wide eyed, fear gripping hold of them, Naruto noticed the sudden change in the enemy, a shiver rippled down his spine as he nervously turned his head to look behind him. A sweat mark ran down the side of his head, he gulbed, scared blue eys met menacing emerald ones.
"Run." he didn't need to be told twice before he high tailed it back up the way he came, shoving the soliders out of his way. The dragon gave a roar before shooting greeny yellow flames out of it's mouth. The screams of the men and women who perished from the attack vibrated loudly after the blonde, still he ran, his sole thought was to escape in one peace. He leapt out of the tunnel landing a fair distance away from the opening, sound of steel clashing and screams of pain spilled from the opening, it lasted for a few minutes more before it fell silent. Naruto straightened himself out, Tantō in hand, his chest raising and falling rapidly from exhaustion. He could feel his wounds knitting back together, he was thankfull for having the Kyuubi sealed inside of him, other wise he would have been dead sometime ago.
"Stop right there, scum." a rider stood before him, his sword posed. "Your going to pay for what you did!" as he stepped forward a large scaly head came out of the entrance, its mouth wide open, snatching the poor soul up trapping him within it's jaw. The unfounate ride screamed in fear and pain, Naruto stood their rooted to the spot as he watched the man try to get the beast to release him, he swung his sword, with what strength he had, it simply pounced off its hide. An threating growl erupted from the dragon before it violently shock its' head, shaking the rider like a rag doll, when the man went silent he was chucked aside piecing eyes locked onto sapphire ones.
"Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!" four clones erupted into existence, immediately three sprung into action throwing shuriken and kunia at the new adversary, distracting it from what the other clone and original were doing. Blue chakra began to swirl in the originals hand, in his other hand he formed the seal of confrontation focusing on drawing some of Hinako's crimson chakra. Slowly the rasengan began to turn purple as the two chakra's began to fuse together. Sweat was running down his dirty face as he concentrated on controling the Kyuubi's volatile chakra, mixing it with his own. The last clone dissapated into a puff of smoke, all its' memories returning to the original.
"Here we go, you overgrown lizard!" shouted the loud Chūnin, as he was hurled towards the enemy with the swirling purple orb of chakra outstretched. The winged reptile roared at him, firing it's deadly inferno, the two attacks clashed against eachother, the flames were split into two, as the upgraded rasengan carved its way through. "Eat this! Rasengan!" cried the teen as he smashed the orb into the dragons face, nothing happened for a second then a small cracking sounded filled the air before the lizards face caved inwards. The sheer force and power of the attack reduced the scaled beast to a blood pulsing mess. A splatter of blood covered the blonde's whiskered cheek, as he plowed through the winged beast. Standing on the opposite end of the now annihilated beast, he collapsed to his knees, breathing heavily, his body ached and burned at the same time.
"I...can't keep going on like this." he breathed out as he fell onto his back, everything going numb. "If I do...I won't..." darkness consumed him, not even the calls of his distressed compainion reached his mind.
Kiba gradually returned from his dreamless sleep drenched in cold sweat, his t-shirt clinging unconfortably to his toned torso.
"Kiba-kun?" came a timid voice, which he knew immediately as his team mate and long time friend;
"Hinata?" he answered back, his voice sounding groggy. "I feel like crap." he mumbled to himself as he tried to sit up, a gentle, but firm hand kept him in place.
"You need to rest Kiba." he looked at her, she was wearing a hazmat suit. A tired sigh left his lips, his eyes closed.
"How long do I have?" opening his eyes again, looking directly into pale lavender ones. "How long. Hinata?"
"Two to three days."
SPLASH
Naruto was yanked back into the land of the living as someone dumped a bucket of ice cold water over him. His mouth open in shock at the sudden attack, the cold water ran down his back, causing him shiver.
"So nice of you to join us, Uzukamki Naruto." his entire body stiffen at the voice.
'No...It can't be!' raising his head, his eyes widened as he spotted Matsuho moving gracefully into the light.
"Leave us." the command was clear, and it was received loud and clear as the cell cleared, the sound of the heavy iron lock falling into place was the last sound that filled the cell. Matsuho stared steadily at her captive, a small smile played on her ruby coloured lips. "I must say Uzumaki, I don't know what to think of your little stunt, trying to infiltrate my base. Was you clever or stupid? I really don't know which one." the capture teen stayed quiet, biting back any snidy remark, one thing was for certain, he was at her mercy, something which he knew wouldn't last.
"What did you hope to achieve by coming here?" still the boy remainded quiet.
SMACK
Warm coppery liquid dribbled down his abused lip, harden azure eyes looked at his attacker; Anger and hatred shining through.
"Answer me!" she said in a deadly voice, moving his head so he was looking straight at her.
"Fuck you." he said defiently, as he spat blood at her. "I'll tell you nothing!" her features darkened like a raging storm, her eyes burning with unadulterated fury. She unleaded her fury on the teen before her, his screams filled the cell as he collapsed onto his back in pain. He didn't know how long it would last for, but all he could feel was pain, unbearable pain. She watched him squirming on the hard floor, his back arcing at an unnatural angle. Matsuho's face began to morph into glee as she watch the agony her prisoner was in, laughter began to fall from lips, in no time she was cackling uncontrollably as she force more power into her attack making the boys' screams to rise up an octive.
For several minutes she held the intensity, the blondes body covered in blood. His shouts of pain began to dwindle as he began to lose his voice, small trails of blood ran down his neck mixing with falling tears. Abruptly the torture ceased, it didn't register for several seconds before he collasped on the floor unmoving. Matsuho stood there drinking in the sight before her, a wide smile on her ruby lips. Faint ragged breaths came from the Chūnin showing he was still alive, a sudden coughing fit caused him to spasm as everything hurt beyond description, his fit lasted for what seemed like hours, blood being coughed up. Soon it settled, a horrible whizzing sound was made for every breath he made, dull blue eyes stared aimlessly up at the ceilling.
"Guard." the heavy wooden door opened, turning she moved towards the exit, pausing at the threshold long enough to look back over her shoulder. "This is just the beginning, my young friend." the door closed behind her, leaving the boy alone in his prison.
Minutes merged into hours, which dragged into days, like clockwork, Matsuho was in his cell torturing him, his screams filling the air.
Hinata watched her friends health deteriorate, she knew there wasn't anything she could do except to try and ease his pain. Time was running out.
'Where are you, Naruto? Kiba needs you.'
Naruto laid there in a semiconscious state, unblinkingly staring at the sole candle which provided meager lighting to the cold room. He remained oblivious to the soothing demonic charka spreading through his system, repairing the damage done during his torture session, however there was some things she couldn't repair.
Time seemed to stand still for the wounded teen, only dark clouds passed over head, providing no indication of what cycle it was; day or night time, the shinobi was oblivious to it. Soon colour returned to those dull eyes, his mind slowly knitting itself back together. When majority of the feeling to his body returned he used his arms to push himself up, so he could lean against the stone wall. Again and again he tried, but his body was still too weak for him to do anything with. He laid there carefully flexing his muscles to try and get their strength back. He wasn't sure how long passed, but as he began to slip into subconsciousness a loud thud sounded in from outside his cell followed by a few more, then it fell silent.
"Pssttt. Hey, Boss. You alive?" came a familier voice. Naruto shock his head thinking he was imaging his voice calling out to him. "Oit! You lazy arse get up!"
'There it is again. I must be losing my mind.'
"You're not loosing your mind!" said an erritated clone as his face filled the boys vision.
"Well, wouldn't you having a face like yours?." came an identical voice somewhere over by the door.
"Shut up arsehole!" came the reply. "Stop standing there and making the wall look pretty and help me get boss out of here before we get caught." muttering to himself, the other clone walked over to his copy and helped lift the original up, minding any wounds not yet healed.
"Now what?" he asked his twin when they were outside of the cell with the primary resting against the wall. The sound of fast approaching footsteps echoed down the hallway. "In less than two minutes we're no longer going to excist, and he isn't going to last any longer than us." The footsteps sounding louder each passing second. Having enough, he passed Naruto over to his compainion, ignoring the profanities that followed him as he walked back into the cell. Slipping out a explosive tag he stuck it to the adjacent wall, then walked hastily out of the room closing the door behind him. "You may want to cover your ears." he said while sticking his own fingers in his ears and turning away from the door, getting the hint the other clone did the same, using his body to shield Naruto.
BOOM
The heavy wooden door came slamming into the adjacent wall, smoke and dust came flying out after it, once it cleared enough the clones carried the blonde into the demolished cell. A large chunck off the wall was missing, a cold breeze whipped around the room making the smoke dance.
"And were do you think you're going?" came an icy voice, making the hairs stand on end. Two identical faces looked over their shoulders, they were greeted by the sight of a infuriated Matsuho. Her eyes blazing emerald. "You'll beg for mercy by the time I'm through with you." Green flames were thrown at the trio, seeing the attack they jumped out of the hole, the flames shooting over their heads. "After them!" she commanded, her order carrying throughout the fortress.
A game of cat and mouse began as the trio fled for their lives, trying to evade the persisting enemy. Fell Beast filled the starless sky, flying over head looking for the fugitives. Slowly the trio made their way through the mountian side, a few times they barely eluded the patrols.
Several hours passed by the time they reached the forest boarder, slipping into the darkness that radiates within the trees. Things were going well until the howls of a demonic wolf (A/N: Same ones from earlier in the story.), echoed around the dark forest.
"That doesn't sound good. We need to get out of here." said one of the clones, while the other rolled his eyes at the obvious statement, biting back a sarcastic he increased his pace to match his partners. The howling drew closer as did the sound of clanking armour;
"I-I need to su-su-summon, Gamakichi." came the barely audio whisper of the original. His voice sounding as rough and ragged as sanding paper. "He's the only way to leave."
"That may be so, but we need to put some distance between us and them, because at the moment you'll barely have time to sneeze let alone summon." fast patter of heavy feet drew closer. "Take him and go." making sure boss was secure on the others back, he turned Tantō drawn, flaring with blue chakra. Soldiers came into view, without any fear he leapt into battle.
Tree's flew pass as the pair raced through the darkness, snarling wolves following them on the ground. Above them two winged demons swooped down breathing fire along the canopy, hoping to push them to the floor.
"We can't stay in the tree's boss, otherwise we'll be toast."
"We need a diversion."
"Wha-?"
"Kage Bunshin No Jutsu." three clones popped into excistence and immediately sprung into action. A fire burned through Naruto's veins making him gasp out in pain. "I shouldn't of done that, ahh." the sound of clashing of steel and barks from the wolves drew further into the distance. Silence fell on the pair. "I've failed." he whispered to no one.
"You haven't failed entirely." replied the clone, holding up a black leather journal. "It was locked up tighter than Jiraiya's wallet." for the first time in three days, Naruto smiled as he took the journal into his hand, feeling the cool texture of the leather underneath his dirty finger tips.
"How?"
"Pure dumb luck." smiling back at the teen. "The book as a seal on it which I've never seen before. It not human in design."
"It a Demon seal." informed Kyuubi. "I'll teach you the tecnique you'll need to unlock it. It'll require demonic chakra which you possess. Normal chakra will at best cause the seal to blow off your hand, or worst case it'll cause an explosion which could level Konoha five time over. Depending how much chakra the caster pumped in."
The boy's smile vanished as he was assulted by the memories from his now extinguished clones, the rush of memories made his head feel as though it was going to explode.
"We can't keep running. I'll have to summon Gamakichi now or we'll never get the chance." jumping down onto the forest floor, Naruto slid off the clones back, shakily standing on his own two feet, once he stable, he ran through the summoning jutsu.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Jiraiya and Tsunade stood in one of the largest training grounds, along with Gamabunta.
"What do you want Jiraiya? I take it that this isn't a social call." asked the Boss toad as he exhaled smoke.
"It's not old friend, we're wondering have you seen Naruto? He isn't in the village, he simply dissappeared along with all his mission gear."
"What do you mean? The small fry summoned Gamakichi three day's ago for a catch up." he answered rubbing his wart covered chin. "Gamakichi get here now!" a second plum of smoke erupted in the middle of the trio.
"Come on pop! Me and Gamatatsu were in the middle of a game." whined Gamakichi looking miffed at his father.
"Stop you whining Gamakichi." Gamabunta said firmly as he stared down at his son. "Jiraiya and Tsunade what to know why Naruto isn't in the village, considering your the last one to see him. So Gamakichi, where is he?" he demanded giving the smaller amphibian a harden stare.
"W-W-What do you mean pops? I don't know what your going on about." he stuttered, "I told you he summoned me to chat that's it."
"Your lying Gamakichi!" the older toad roared, "Where did you take him?"
"I-" he disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"Summoning Jutsu!" slamming his palm down on the floor, Gamakichi appeared out of the smoke, the poor toad was about to talk, but he got cut off. "Gamakichi, I don't have time to talk. I need to get out of here before hell comes hounding through those trees." Kami must be in a really sadistic mood as wolves and soliders came pouring in from all sides.
"Go. I'll hold them off." said the clone as more clones exploded into excistence. "I may have little chakra left, but I'll take down as many of these bastards as I can." he said giving the original a smile.
"Give them hell boys." Gamakichi grabbed the teen and dissappeared in a plume of smoke.
"You heard the Boss. Lets give them Hell!" shouted the clone, the others gave a mighty war cry before charging at the enemy.
