Warning: This is going to be a long starter AN. I was originally not going to post the chapter up WITH the AN but I went and looked at the hit mark and noticed that the story had hit its mark.

I need to state some things to people who choose to review anonymous to where I cannot reply to what they say.

Dear Travis9000(Mr. Anonymous),

As a writer I am free to write in whatever perspective I choose that I am more suited with. If I choose to do first person, I can do first person. If I choose to do third person, I can do third person. There is no law stating that a fanfic writer is not allowed to write stories in the perspective of the characters in the story. As a writer, the only things I feel that is not right for fanfics is Mary Sues. This story is not a Mary Sue, therefor I am not breaking my own law of Fanfic writing.

As a reader, you should have been able to read all the comments that was continually stated about criticism, hard hatred, flaming and all that mess. As a reader you are to take into consideration that the writer has asked you kindly to move on if you do not like the story, and to not state your opinion about it to save from drama that would happen later due to it. Every reader has a different preference, you choose to not like any first person perspectives, feeling that the writer is not the character themselves. Of course the writers know they aren't the character, they never stated that they were the characters.

There was no reason to curse at me and calling me an 'ass'. As a matter of fact, you chose to review in chapter 3 which has stated the whole thing about criticism all over again. If you cannot read, then that is on you. I am not sitting here, pulling your arm behind your back and slamming your face into your screen and forcing you to read my story. You can easily hit the close button or look for another story all together. If you did not know that you had the freedom to sit there and hit the back button or close or even the search button, now you do. I do not believe that hitting the review button and stating that 'pov fucking sucks u are not them u ass!' on a story that states to basically be friendly, is leaving the story properly.

Sincerly,

The person who is actually writing the stories, and not reading them.

P.S. If you can't read right... what the above letter states is "If you don't like a story, then go find another one and leave in silence."

Now I would like to comment to a few of my reviewers because I haven't done this in a while... A long whilexD

Honorwolf1 I thought exactly the same thing when I noticed the numbers on the words! Of course... after I did that I hit my head on my desk going "Oh Vegeta you are such a troll in my head..."

CrunchbiteNuva Yea I realized I never did do the whole bit with the first few days of Naruto turning female... basically what I imagine is Naruto freaking out and asking Sasuke; who would end up freaking out and shove Naruto over to a female calling him a dobe. That or shutting the door on Naruto's face the instant Naruto banged on his door and stated his dilemma xDD

Echo Uchiha I noticed you asked what Akuma means; I thought I stated it a few times however, Akuma means Devil, so basically Uzumaki Akuma - Devil's Whirlwind... Then back in chapter 12 I was doing a vote on if Akuma should have short hair or long hair, what I mean by long hair is you know like Ino's length and stuff like that. Basically the stuff you EXPECT a female to have (Of Course I defy the laws of being female and have a Sasuke haircut xD) I also noticed you asked if Naruto is an Anbu... to explain this one; Akuma was an Anbu before she was sealed into the form of Naruto. In technical terms Naruto was an Anbu but he wasn't, because he wasn't Akuma then. He was just an everyday Genin as far as he knew and could remember.

Trallala(Anonymous) I know I stated it in an AN when you said that; but I have a constant battle with my word program. It likes to auto-correct things or not give me a choice in words I use. For the longest time Sasuke was being replaced with Sauce and I know that when I corrected it on here, that I had missed several Sauces to replace with Sasuke. My Word is a troll and likes to change my words on me because it is against first person writers.

Now that this took up a lot of space... Lol on with the story because I have nothing else to bother you in the first AN with.


"Now I see why you told me to hate you over Itachi…" I turned around to Akuma. "Eh?" I glared at her "It was your fault that the entire clan was killed! Itachi saw it was more important for you to live over his own blood!"

"What…are you talking about?" I tossed her the scroll that I had placed in my pouch. She opened it up and began reading "What the… I signed no such thing!" she shouted, throwing me off guard. "Hell this isn't Itachi's signature either! And this! This isn't Hiruzen's signature either! Those bastards tried to forge our signatures…"

I grabbed the scroll and looked at the signatures. She was right; Itachi's signature didn't match up at all. "I was on a mission when this happened… so there was no way that I would have been able to sign anything. Work to the council I sign as U.A work to the village I sign as U. N. A anything else I sign as N. N. A or N.A but… N. U. N. A… that isn't something I would put down… this is odd actually… no one in the council nor did Danzo even know the N… unless that one scroll…" she trailed off before sighing.

"Wouldn't put it past root to scout for some of my scrolls that I've sent out. One scroll that I signed with an N went missing… never made it to the target." She sighed again.

"So what really happened then?" she stared at me "Konoha… Danzo… threatened to capture me and behead me in front of the Uchiha clan. He wanted them to stop trying to gain power in exchange for my life. The threat of harming someone they thought was family caused a coup d'état."

"So… it was the council who started this mess… making it to where my clan wanted to protect its people due to the threat?" she nodded then turned away. "Itachi and myself hate the thought of war… But Itachi played as a double agent in this whole mess. But… I was the only one who knew what could be done… yet I was constantly being sent out on missions. This all makes sense now." She reached over to the pile of scrolls.

"The one who constantly sent me on missions had to have been Danzo… to keep me away from helping Itachi's mind stay clear. Though he was able to keep his mind clear… knowing that a war between the Uchiha clan and Konoha would cause the death of his most precious thing."

I stared at her "You were his most precious thing… he has always tried to protect you and keep you safe from the things going on inside the clan. He burdened himself by doing everything he did before he left… saying all those words… because he knew killing the clan was wrong but he knew things about the person that helped him that night."

"Helped…?" She nodded "I'm sure I have told you but… it was Uchiha Madara… Itachi knows that there are a few corrupted people in Konoha… but that doesn't mean the village should get the extent of what those bad people have done."

"SASUKE! AKUMA!" we turned over to see Kiba running to us on Akamaru. "They kicked Tsunade-sama from being Hokage and appointed Danzo!" my eyes went wide.

"That's not all though! He has ordered for Uchiha Itachi to be found and killed and for Akuma to be secured down and beheaded!" I growled, causing Kiba to hold his hands up. "I'm only the messenger! It hasn't been said though…. For what he plans for you, Sasuke… but Akuma..." she nodded.

"Yeah I know. When the third came into the room and started a commotion, he was sending me the Anbu signals to tell me to get away from the area." I shot my head over to Akuma "So in reality... he knew about those things in which you pretended he didn't?" she nodded.

"He told me that there will come a time when Danzo will go against his words and come for my blood. Danzo isn't going to behead me though… he is going to use Shisui's eyes to try and control Kyuubi and try to take over the village through the use of that."

"WHAT?" Kiba shouted, looking around before he pulled us into the rubble to hide. "Listen… Tsunade had figured something like this would happen… so she had entrusted us with missions to give to you guys in order to help you guys flee from danger until she is awake." I glanced over to Akuma who nodded.

"That just means she did get to read the scroll."

"Scroll?" she nodded "Kiba… look at yourself and Akamaru right now." I glanced over to them and noticed the Kyuubi's tails wrapped around them. "W-What the..?" she released them from her tails and nodded. "The mission that she has for us is more of permission for me to find the Hachibi and learn how to control Kyuubi and her darkness."

"Dude you used her tails on us!"

"Yes… Kyuubi told me that at one point during my early Anbu years I had restricted people by her tails. The reason for me going behind Kyuubi's cage when I first got back from Suna was because of the secret training I was doing behind the bars. Other than Tsunade and Sasuke… I needed someone else to know this information. Out of all of the rookie team though, you are the only one who deals with animals that is why you are being informed." I glanced over to Kiba again as he nodded.

I felt a gaze on me and looked over to Akuma who nodded. She held out her hand and began forming something in it then reached into the pouch and pulled out a chain. "Kiba this is a form of a communicator. It has a space time jutsu on it in order for things to be transferred. No one will be able to tell that it is this though…"

"Because of your lack of chakra." She nodded. Kiba reached into his pouch and pulled out the scrolls. "These are your mission orders… Stay safe you two." I grabbed one of the scrolls from Kiba then placed it into my pouch.

"Sorry you are getting dragged into something dealing with me… If you want to find your brother and inform him go ahead… I will be going somewhere else to talk to the Hachibi." She peered out of the rubble then took off.

"Sasuke." I looked over to Kiba, who was giving me a hard look. "I heard Akuma over talking to Kyuubi a while back… she mentioned something about getting herself killed to end it all because it all started by her. She may be planning to die and taking down the current threats with her." I glanced back to where Akuma ran off.

"I don't know what it was about but ever since then I had noticed how she stopped trying to protect herself and stopped trying to heal fast. It looks like Kyuubi is trying to ignore Akuma's wish for death by forcing her behind the bars to heal her and keep her alive."

"Now I see why she was always pissed off at Kyuubi for that…" I said as I walked out from the spot. "Sasuke… even if you hate her or change to darkness… please keep her alive. Akamaru tells me that there is something important about Akuma that makes it to where she needs to be alive."

"Hn."

Break†

I watched Akuma walk from a good distance away. She stopped at hearing a familiar voice. "Kyuubi."

"Hn… Madara right? Are you here to capture me?"

"No… but you have put quite a big nail into my plans." I stared at the masked man behind her. I narrowed my eyes, remembering him being called Tobi by Deidara.

"I came here only to speak to you. What is it about you that made the clan turn against their own and keep you alive?"

"Who knows? I was only a little kid when the clan died so I don't think I would know anything about that. I would say ask them yourself but yeah… the dead can't really talk to you."

"So if I captured you now… what would little Sasuke and Itachi do?" I watched her stare at the man from over her shoulder. "Do you really think I would know how to answer such a thing? I'm not inside their head… I won't know what they want or what they are thinking."

She turned her head back to the path ahead of her "However… Konoha… I know there are a few people… not many… who will come after you to get me back."

"I see…" I watched as the masked man went to attack Akuma, only for Akuma to disappear and appear behind him, a Kunai against his throat. "I see you won't be easy to capture either."

"And I see you won't be easy to beat." I watched Akuma jump away then put her hand on her chin, thinking.

"I see… you use the same technique my dad used."

"Hmm… that does explain something… the blonde hair… the red tips… All this aside… I have some business to take care of."

"Wait." Akuma said, giving Tobi a hard look. "Sorry there Kyuubi but I had plans with Danzo… and the summit is already gathered… I will come for you later." He disappeared in a swirl through his mask, causing Akuma to growl.

I walked up behind Akuma, standing next to her. "He is going to try to kill Danzo… you know how this is going to go. Without Tsunade being awake and the council not knowing the Third is awake either… they are going to keep the word to capture me and kill Itachi."

"If Danzo is killed… who else qualifies for the position of Hokage?" I asked, stuffing my hands into my pocket as I leaned over to stare into Akuma's face.

"Kakashi does if I remember… however… summit? I didn't know there was a summit going on…" She looked into my eyes then looked away, sighing. "This doesn't change my plans to go find the Hachibi though… but I know that they will be after us both soon."

"Akuma do you think this summit might be to come to an agreement over your capture and the death of my brother?" I asked, quickly gaining her attention.

"If that is the case… I might have to travel as an Anbu on a mission… damn… well I did like that old cloak… covered my tails nicely to where no one could see them going through the ground to bind…" I stared at her as she continued to rant.

"Ah damn that is right… I don't have that scroll that I sealed all my back up outfits in… uh… ano… `Suke…" I nodded to her as she scratched her cheek. "Do you uh… know… um…"

"I know someone who can supply us with what we need." She stared at me with wide eyes then smiled. "You are a big help!" she began walking then stopped. "Uh… where would this place be anyway?"

Break†

"Ah Sasuke! I have not seen you in so long… what brings you here?" I looked down and smiled. "Hey there Denka and Hina… Here for weapons, medicine, and of course a few other things." I shifted into my pouch pocket and pulled out a bottle.

"Brought you a bottle of catnip." I said holding out the object. "Let's go see Nekobaa." I nodded as Akuma followed us, looking around. She caught up to me then leaned close to my ear "Ne… why does this place look so familiar `Suke?" I stared at her.

"We came here as team 7 on a mission to get the last paw print that I missed as a child." She scratched her head then 'Eep'd when she nearly crashed into me.

"Oh my… it has been so long Sasuke… oh and a little fox I see?" I glanced over to Akuma who hid behind me, looking slightly over my shoulder. "Yes it has been a long time… and this is Akuma… she was one of the few that came with for the mission…" I stated.

"Ohhh that girl! Wait…" I quickly turned my head to Nekobaa. "Akuma?" I nodded. "Namikaze…" I narrowed my eyes as Akuma gripped onto the back of my shirt. "I remember when you were only this big!" she said, holding her hand up to a certain height, making me stumble back.

"You were so adorable then! You always got your supply of weapons from here… even your clothes. Oh my that outfit; that was ordered from here… I see so that's why the demand was like that. Looks just like the silver one I had made many years ago!" I peered to Akuma who was peeking out from my side.

"Still as shy as ever I see!" I looked back over to Nekobaa "So you already knew Akuma?" she nodded, laughing "I met her when she was around three years old… I believe it was your mother who dragged her here… she hid behind everything she could."

I turned back to Akuma "You are too cute…" I mumbled as I kissed her cheek; making her turn bright red.

Break†

"You sure you got everything you need?" I asked Akuma as she pulled up the hood of the raincoat. "Yeah… All I need now… is to find Hachibi." I stared at her "I'm going with you." I watched as she stumbled slightly then stared at me.

"What about Itachi?" I shook my head "The rookie team knows not to kill Itachi, only to stall him from his mission… I think my brother can wait." I stared into the darkness of the hood. She quickly turned away, holding the opening to the coat with her hands.

She quickly turned around, pulling an arm out from the opening of the cloak and grabbed into mine, reaching into my pouch. She quickly retracted her hand with a scroll in hand then opened it.

"Uchiha Sasuke is hereby sent on a mission to protect Namikaze Akuma and gather information while transferring important notes to leaf ninjas on the way. If Namikaze Akuma is to die or get injured during the mission; Uchiha Sasuke will be held responsible and will have to pay a fee rather than gaining a fee…" Akuma trailed off as she rolled her eyes. "Damn… Tsunade thought ahead. Guess you are able to come with me…" she tossed me my scroll then retracted her hands back under the raincoat.

I stared over her outfit and shook my head. Other than baggy pants… Akuma's other weakness was sleeveless cloaks. Sometimes she would do the sleeved cloaks but it was only if she had to. I blinked when I noticed Akuma waving her hand in my face. "Earth to teme!" I quickly grabbed her wrist and stared at her.

"I rather not spend 50 years standing in this rain, let's make a move… and uh…" she trailed off, looking away. "I know people that can help us." She quickly looked up at me. "I met them when I was with Orochimaru… ones an idiot, one is the birth of the cursed seal and the last one is a bitch."

"Oh… a second team seve—wait…. DAMN IT I JUST CALLED MYSELF AN IDIOT" I laughed as she gripped on her hood, stomping her feet on the ground. "It has been said! Akuma has finally admitted to being an idiot!" I said, laughing.

"Yeah I'm an idiot for being near you! Ugh!" I watched as she stormed off then stopped. "…" she turned to me, silently glaring. I straightened my position and returned the stare. "…Which direction are these people…?" I couldn't hold it in as I began laughing again.

Leave it to Akuma to constantly start walking and not even know where she is supposed to be heading.

-AN-

As you guys can see the story is actually catching up with the current release in the english translated manga. Because of this the chapters are being updated slowly so that I don't collide too fast with the current state of the Naruto manga.

Yes my story is a little different than the actual Manga/Anime but there are some spoilers that will be brought up that maybe some people don't know about yet because the copy hasn't been released yet for them to see...

I will update the other stories soon, right now I'm actually going through some hard times in my life and I just noticed that my background picture I use on my desktop of a picture I took, has a praying mantis leg sticking out from under the flower... Woah... xD ANYWAY... Yes I do have ADD and No I don't like flowers lol

Anyway; right now I'm conflicting with my house falling apart, the loss of a car due to it catching fire with me inside, the lack of food and constantly eatting ramen all the time since it is the only cheap food that I can afford... sadly... Not just this but I'm conflicting with Sage and his current GF too... it is way too much for my body to take in right now.

I haven't been able to work on any of the stories because of all this BS and its annoying me. It's like... come on life, give me a break, I just want to put my legs up on my pillows and type away at chapters so I can do the promised double update for everyone. -shakes hand at the world-

For now, see ya guys later... Probably do another one of those AN talking to reviewers in a later chapter when more reviews pile up (xD Though the number of reviews is over 120, the amount of times people review per chapter is between 0-2 so it would take time before I'd do another author answer reviewer thing.
