Prologue ~ The death of Naruto Uzumaki
Naruto Uzumaki could only growl as he woke himself up, his usual sleeping attire gone. Then he bolted upright as he remembered how his team had just finished beating both Haku and Zabuza at the bridge yesterday. He had growled at his sensei when he had ordered Naruto to bury the two. But when he had done so, and was about to stab Zabuza's sword into the gravesite, he was greeted with a rather strange sight.
-Flashback-
Naruto looked around sadly as he finished covering the bodies. Turning toward the broken mask of Haku and Zabuza's own 'Headcutter' sword, he sighed as he picked up the boy's mask and buried it on the pretend Hunter-nin's grave. Sending a brief prayer for the boy to be sent to heaven, Naruto picked up Zabuza's sword, only to see a blue form appear over the grave of the missing-nin. "Zabuza?" He asked, instantly recognizing the fallen man's form slowly standing up. "What… what is going on?" he asked, holding up the blade in defense, not even realizing how foolish it was to do such a thing.
"Well kid, I think that someone listened to some kind of wish or prayer." Zabuza's ghost snickered. "When I was alive," the ghost began, standing near Naruto before placing a cold hand on the boys shoulder. "I made a promise to Kami-sama, saying that if he would spare me the hell that I was bringing upon myself, now this is before I faced the Mizukage of course. I promised that the next person to touch my own sword and if they actually had the will to do what they dreamed, then I would teach them." He explained, looking into Naruto's blue eyes.
"But all I did was get ready to stab it into your grave!" Naruto yelled, looking down to the sword.
"Doesn't matter, kid." Zabuza's ghost smiled. "You are the only one in that entire team as you would call it, that has any dream that is agreeable with Kami-sama." It explained. "At least as near as I can figure." He chuckled at Naruto's pout. "Now what is so important that you want, what is your dream kid?" he asked.
"Hokage…" Naruto whispered.
"Whats that kid?"
"THE NAME'S NARUTO!" Naruto shouted, swinging the sword through Zabuza's bluish form.
"Okay, NARUTO!" Zabuza shouted. "I think you should tell me instead of whispering!" he growled.
"I want to be Hokage!" Naruto shouted, taking the sword in a two handed grip, somehow able to hold the sword without falling over. "And I won't stop until I achieve that dream!" he growled.
"Good." Zabuza smiled.
That smile however turned into one of wonder as a glow seemed to appear out of his sword, shocking both the ghost and Naruto himself who felt that the sword was growing very light. After a few seconds of the blinding light, Naruto winced as he felt a burning along his arms before both the pain and the light died down.
Looking down, Naruto saw that where the single heavy sword sat in his hands, now shown two rather large looking curved blades. Both blades were black in color with a bluish tinted blade. The hilts on the swords resembled a beasts claw on each side with a grey eye in the middle of each. The handles were wrapped in what looked like red leather, ending at the end with a slight curve towards the direction of the blade. Looking back at Zabuza, he saw that the man was becoming a fine mist and disappearing. At his feet however, appeared a large scroll with a seal on each end of the paper.
Taking a deep breathe before shaking his head, Naruto wearily took a glance down at his arms themselves and gasped. On each arm was a pair of bracers that seemed to extend from his wrist all the way back to his elbows. Several tribal designs adorned the surface of each, both circling a single poin on each. Dropping the blades he tried to take them off, only for the swords to appear at the small of his back in a cross like pattern. Moving the bracers seemed like a good idea, until when he did, the bracers seemed to exude a large amount of weight in each, nearly ripping his arms out of their sockets. Taking his hands away as easily as he could, which proved very difficult with the added weight, a few seconds of tension was rewarded with Naruto able to move again, this time Naruto looked at the scroll in front of him. Picking up the item, Naruto was instantly feeling sleepy. But before he could do anything, he found himself in his bed before sleep claimed him, the items seeming to disappear into nothingness.
-Flashback End-
That had apparently happened yesterday. Looking at his arms, he was confused to see a rather weird looking seal wrapping around each of his wrists. Looking around the room, Naruto was able to get himself sitting up before he was surprised by a screaming Sakura. "NARUTO-BAKA GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!" she screamed from right outside his door.
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Naruto shouted, surprising himself. Wait a minute. He thought, looking once more at his hands before shaking his hands. No way would I scream at Sakura-chan. He sighed. After all, who would love a bijuu container? He asked himself as he got out of bed painfully. "I wish I could so kill ghosts." He growled to himself as he put on his shirt and opened the door to the room only to find Sasuke standing there, Sakura behind him. "What do you want, Sasuke-teme. I thought breakfast was ready." He grunted.
"Give me Zabuza's sword, dobe." Sasuke demanded.
"What are you talking about, teme? The sword is at the gravesite like I was told to do." Naruto growled, backing up a single step. "And why do you even want it?" he asked.
"Why shouldn't an elite Uchiha have a sword like that?" Kakashi looked on from behind the two as he walked up the stairs. "Now where is it." He demanded.
"How should I know, Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked dumbly. "I haven't seen it since I was at the gravesite. Maybe you should send your dog summons to find it." He shrugged.
"Don't tell me what to do, genin." Kakashi growled. Turning towards Sasuke, he flashed his eye-smile. "Come on, lets go look through his stuff, Sasuke. Zabuza's sword is a pretty big blade. He can't hide it in his bag." The Cyclops began.
Naruto was at his bag before they were. "Do you see a large ass sword like that, Kakashi-sensei?" he asked snidely.
"I don't care, Naruto." Kakashi replied, making Naruto quirk an eyebrow at the Jounin. "I sent you to bury them, and place the sword at the base of the gravesite. But you can't even do that. Now hand over the sword. Sasuke deserves it more than you ever will." He ordered.
"I can't give what I don't HAVE!" Naruto shouted, a sliver of red hitting his eyes as his anger got the better of him only slightly.
"Okay, then you are saying that you disobeyed my orders?" Kakashi asked, looking at the two teammates. Both of them were smirking at Naruto's misfortune.
"You know what, I know for a fact that I put that sword at his graves. And the question of how you know its not there is something altogether to ask as well." Naruto said, glaring at each of his teammates. "But then again, I already know the answer to that, and trust me. Its going in MY report to the Hokage." Naruto shrugged. "And to think, a Hatake, a Haruno, and an Uchiha, all becoming GRAVEROBBERS!" he shouted, shoving his backpack onto his shoulders. "The bridge is done, and I am going to tell the old man thanks for having me." He growled, moving past his team.
Only he didn't get very far. Sasuke's hand ripped Naruto around, causing him to be hammered back into his room, this time without his pack. His pack however was being ripped apart by Sasuke and Sakura at the door, Kakashi smiling his eye-smile behind them. After what seemed like only a few minutes, Naruto shouted at Sasuke to give him back his pack since he didn't find anything.
But when Naruto looked again, he saw that Sakura had grabbed all of his scrolls from his pack and were pocketing them, all the while smiling at Sasuke lovingly. One of these days I am going to kill them. He thought, looking at the three of them.
But salvation came in a rather weird form. A crossbow was somehow instantly at Sakura's head, Inari at the other end. "I think that that belongs to Naruto-nee-chan." He growled, causing Sakura to let out a shriek in dismay before all of her pockets were emptied onto the floor as she fell backwards.
"That's okay, Inari." Naruto sighed, standing back up and picking up his stuff before exiting the room. "I don't care what they do anymore." Naruto smiled at the little boy. "We're even now huh?" he asked.
"Never nee-chan." Inari smiled as he walked away with Naruto at his side.

Konoha – Hokage's Office

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled as the last of his paperwork was finished. He could only sigh as he knew there would be more to do today, even though he was more than a little worried about Team 7. He had known something was up when he felt a weird form of chakra appearing out of nowhere the other day. And that was when he had also received a summons from Kakashi stating that the mission had to be upgraded when the team was intercepted by Momochi Zabuza on the way to Wave. Looking around his office, he took out his pipe and lit it, hoping to hear from them soon.

Wave Country
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sasuke Uchiha was livid as he looked over every inch of Naruto's room. He had been searching for over an hour now with Sakura's help as the two of them continued to search for the blade. I will not let that dobe receive more power than me! He growled to himself, hearing Sakura moan at the sound. And when I get the same power that Zabuza had, I will kill my brother, and then whoever else gets in my way from reviving my clan!
Sakura however was looking through the room for anything else that Naruto might have left behind so that she could give it to her Sasuke-kun. When I find that sword for Sasuke-kun, he'll have no choice but to love me! She squealed as she proceeded to hug herself in joy, not paying attention to the scowl coming her way from Sasuke behind her back.
"Damnit, Kakashi-sensei!" Sasuke shouted, drawing Kakashi's attention from the doorway. "You told me that that dobe would follow your orders and plant that sword for me to steal today. Now the blade is gone!" he growled low enough for only the three of them to hear.
"Don't worry, Sasuke." Kakashi began, looking down at Naruto as he ate breakfast. "When we get back to Konoha, I already have a plan to get the sword from him, even if he says that he doesn't have it." He explained.
Little did they know however, that the Naruto being so carefree, not to mention the family, were all henge'd clones. The real Naruto had recorded some of the conversation using a henge and a scroll, and even now was experiencing the joy of finally being acknowledged by someone. The entire Wave country was out on the bridge, wishing him well as he began to leave. As he left however, he heard Inari asking his grandfather what they should name the bridge. He face-faulted as he heard the entire crowd agreed on what to name the bridge. The Great Naruto Bridge, huh? He thought as he smiled before taking off into the treeline.

Outskirts of Konoha
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It had taken Naruto three days of travel to get to Konoha. The only reason for the long wait was because he knew that he would need practice with whatever kind of blades that were the remains of Zabuza's sword. The same day that he had left Wave, Naruto had finally been able to open the scroll left to him by the ghost of Zabuza. It entailed everything that Zabuza had known, from ninjutsu to genjutsu, even his trade-mark Kinjutsu, the silent killing techniques.
For the past three days, Naruto had been taking breaks every once in a while only to train just a little bit in the arts that he had been given. He had found that both his swords and the bracers had some kind of seals embedded in them, confusing him as to their purpose. He had yet to use the blades, much less the bracers other than to inspect them closely. I need to ask Oji-san about learning seals. He thought as he walked out of the treeline. Showing his papers to the Gate Chuunin, Naruto immediately had to answer when asked where his team was, that his team was too slow to keep up so they left him to go report to the Hokage.
Smiling as he was allowed through, Naruto took to the buildings quickly arriving at the tower. Entering the office of the Hokage always brought a smile to the blondes face. "Hey, Hokage-jiji!" he shouted, smiling at his adopted grandfather.
"Naruto?" Sarutobi gapped before looking down at the scroll. "Umm, what are you doing here?" he asked, looking around the office.
"What do you mean, jiji? I came to report the success of the mission!" Naruto smiled.
"Umm, Naruto, give me some blood please?" Sarutobi grunted, holding out a siringe.
"What the hell for!?" Naruto shouted, causing Sarutobi to wince. "You KNOW I hate needles!" he screamed, rubbing his arms quickly.
"Naruto, your supposed to be DEAD." Sarutobi groaned as he saw Naruto's eyes widen, making Sarutobi glad that he had believed his heart at looking at the boy before him. "Kakashi sent a dog ahead of everyone like yesterday, stating that you had been killed in action. I wanted to wait to announce the failure of the mission until they got here."
"Dead? That fucking Cyclops had me pegged as DEAD?!"
"Naruto, show some respect for your sensei." Sarutobi sighed, rubbing his forehead.
"Not when that stupid Cyclops had me killed just because I didn't have a sword and left while those three tore apart my room!" Naruto shouted, causing the secretary to come into the room. Nobody was even aware that the Hokage was in a meeting, since nobody really paid attention to the boy. "How did he say I died?" he asked, looking at the Hokage with tears in his eyes.
"He said that Zabuza Momochi killed you during the initial encounter." Sarutobi growled.
Naruto looked around the office, slowly at first, his mind finally seeming to awaken from what felt like a full sleep. "Umm, jiji?" he asked, looking out the window.
"Yes, Naruto?" he asked, looking at the blonde confused. "What is it? I need to get ahold of people telling them that your NOT dead." He began.
"No." Naruto said, giving the Hokage a fox-like grin. "I want three things, jiji-san." He said, his smile turning more sinister.
"Okay?" Sarutobi was now confused.
"I want what my family wanted for me." He growled, shocking the kage. "I know that you knew who my parents were. I also know that they were somehow important, Oji."
"Naruto, I can't." Sarutobi grunted.
"Bullshit, jiji. From the rest of my requests, this should be easy for you." Naruto growled. "I barely ask anything from you, and get nothing in return for some of the stuff I have done. You're the Hokage, not a normal shinobi. Just give me what I ask, nothing major." The blonde groaned.
"Naruto…" the Hokage slowly shook his head before placing a hand on a seal. "I hope you know what you're doing, grandson." He sighed, tossing the boy several scrolls. "I only hid this from you, since you would be in constant danger." He explained, gesturing to the scrolls. In total there were four of them, a red one, a yellow one, a blue and a black one, all with seals on them.
Naruto looked upon the yellow one, with the kanji for 'Father' on them. "What the hell?" he asked, trying to open them.
"Spill blood on the kanji. Their blood seals created by your own father." The Hokage smiled, remembering the blonde's father fondly.
Naruto did as he was told, only to have the kanji dissolve and the scroll to open. Reading the scroll quickly, Naruto had to close it before he ripped it to shreds. "So, a Namikaze has been reborn huh?" he asked.
"I'm sorry, Naruto."
"Don't start that shit, Sarutobi-sama." Naruto smiled evilly again. "Oh this should be fun. I understand the reasons he did it, but the shit still fucking burns." He sighed. "Oh well."
"Naruto, what are you wanting to do now?" Sarutobi asked wearily. He still had hopes for the boy, even if he might not like them.
"Oh trust me, this'll be fun, for the TWO of us." The blonde smiled. "First, since that was only part of the first request." He began. "I want to have the Uzumaki remain dead. Let the demon everyone hates die." He smiled at the Hokage's shocked expression. "With being the demon, I wont receive ANY kind of fair training." Naruto explained. "If I become someone else, say under some kind of genjutsu to change my appearance, I can receive better training. Hell I can become someone! I can be a better ninja as someone else, then I could protect my precious people better."
"Okay, you have good reasoning, Naruto. But how do you want to be 'revived' as it were?" the old man asked. "You have to be brought back somehow."
"What do you mean 'revived'? I am doing this as to never become 'reborn'." Naruto explained. "I want to have a fresh start, away from team 7, even if they are a bunch of wannabe grave-robbers." He sighed, looking at his arms. "I can't be a person with everyone thinking that the fox is gonna come out." He said, a lone tear creeping out of his eyes. Handing the Hokage a new scroll from behind him, he backed away. "This is the report from the mission, signed by Tazuna himself with side-notes included. Zabuza's head protector is on the concealed compartment of the scroll. I seriously need to learn how to do seals Hokage-sama." He grinned.
Looking over the report, he smiled as he saw that Tazuna was greatly impressed with Naruto's performance, and noted that the blonde had helped his own grandson grow out of some kind of funk that he had been in. Looking at the end of the scroll, Sarutobi growled low in his throat as he saw that Tazuna was requesting that the money that would be going to everyone in Team 7 be given to Naruto, since everyone else didn't really even do anything during the fights. Looking up at a rather sad looking Naruto, Sarutobi sighed. Taking out a smaller scroll, Sarutobi began writing his own mandate. Handing it to the blonde, Sarutobi smiled. "Take that to the missions office. Get yourself some new clothes, and gear. Then come talk to me." He began. "We'll talk about your other requests then, okay? And put this over your face, that way nobody can think your still alive." The old man smiled as he tossed a large bandana to Naruto who placed it over every part of his head other than his protector and his eyes.
Sarutobi sighed before he gasped as somehow, Naruto's arms glowed briefly, making the Hokage blink at the brightness. When the light died down, Naruto was moving his hands over a matching pair of black bracers attached to the blondes wrists. Looking at the blondes waist, Sarutobi's eyes grew as he saw a pair of double bladed shamshir swords hooked at the small of the blondes back.
Naruto without a second glance was gone from the room, heading for his mission pay, not even bothering to read the scroll that was now in the pocket of his jumpsuit.
The Great Naruto Bridge – One Day earlier
"What do you mean, Naruto is gone!?" Sakura shouted, looking at the shadow clone of the boy as he whistled a hapless tune. "He's right here!"
A distinct poof was heard, and in the place of Naruto, was only smoke. "Shit, Naruto IS gone! That was a shadow clone!" Kakashi growled, looking around for the blonde. "When did he leave, Tazuna!?" he demanded.
"I honestly don't know. I know that the bridge has his name on it, and he already has the mission scroll that was signed, so I would say about oh…" Tazuna sighed, rubbing his chin. "I'd say two days ago I think."
"Lets just go kill him, Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura smiled. "I know he can't be good enough to beat both you and Sasuke-kun!"
"Sakura, he left out on his own. My dogs wont chase him because of his scent. We have no idea where he could have gone." Kakashi sighed, wishing he didn't have to listen to the constant whining of Sakura. If it weren't for her mother being on the council, she would not have been in the program to begin with! He thought. Quickly throwing out a scroll and ink, he wrote a quick letter to the Hokage, stating that there was an accident and that Naruto was killed in action.
"But, Kakashi-sensei, Naruto-baka isn't dead." Sakura stammered, reading over his shoulder.
"It doesn't matter, Sakura." Sasuke began, looking into the forest. "With the Demon Brothers still out there, and nobody knows how many other missing-nin still out there, the dobe has no chance out there."
"Yeah, after all." Sakura sighed happily. "He is just a deadlast." She smiled, her dreams coming closer to being possible, or at least in her own mind that is. Kakashi could only growl as he summoned a dog to take the scroll away.
I will take my revenge on you, demon. He thought, watching the dog vanish. You took sensei from me, and now you have nowhere to go. Konoha will never accept you.
Konoha – Present Time, Outfitter shop
Naruto had been walking around ever since he had gotten the money from the mission, watching everyones reaction to an almost new face in their midst. But as he walked into a shop that always chased him out, he was surprised to see the shop-owner actually helping him. He didn't even pay attention to the fact that he a blonde customer in a face-mask. But as Naruto looked around for some clothes, he found something that intrigued him. It was a long-sleeved mesh shirt with a different design of mesh. On another shelf however, Naruto was shocked to see an over-top (a shirt that just covers the top half of the back and the arms with a snap on the front) with small leather encasing what would be his neck. Quickly grabbing both items, he quickly changed into the items and looked at himself in the mirror. He was almost shocked to see that everything seemed to fit perfectly, only leaving something to cover his face with.
Changing back into his original clothes, he continued looking around, picking up several ANBU style pants and cargo pants. Looking at a pair of half-shirts (Gotenks Shirt from DBZ) that seemed to hold a lot of pockets, he picked up several of those as well. Looking around, he saw something that really made him happy: a pair of buckle-down combat boots with boot-knife holsters. Taking everything to the counter, he smiled an eye-smile at the clerk. "I'll take these, and if you can make an order of several of the boots and the mesh shirts, I would be happy to pay for them now."
"What did you do, get pay for an S rank or something?" the clerk smiled as he took down the order, including several other items he wanted to give to the young shinobi for free.
"Something like that." Naruto laughed, looking around.
"Listen, kiddo." The clerk sighed, thinking of something in the back. "I have something that you might find good to have. Never sold it, since it's kind of an old family secret." He began. "But if you can keep coming here, I don't see a reason to not give them to you."
Naruto was ecstatic as he looked up at the clerk. "Thanks mister!" Naruto yelled, shocking the man before bowing repeatedly in thanks.
"I'll be right back then." The clerk laughed, watching the boys eyes seem to light up.
Naruto continued to look around, watching several academy students as they walked around the shop. He frowned as he watched Konohamaru walking in with his friends. He looked like he had been crying. Oh shit! Naruto groaned to himself. Of COURSE! I forgot that he would find out from jiji! Naruto slapped his forehead at his own oversight. Just as he looked about ready to bolt, the clerk came back in with a box. Naruto waited expectantly for the man to open the box, which revealed to be a pair of black fingerless gloves with pieces of some kind of red metal along the back of the hand and the fingers.
"These have been passed down to my family for generations, mainly to the shinobi of my family." The clerk smiled fondly at the gloves. "But I have no need of them. I'm not the Taijutsu type if you get my meaning. And a pair of chakra-absorbing gloves should be used by someone who can do them justice."
"Thank you!" Naruto shouted before grabbing the gloves and then hugging the clerk. Before the clerk could even recover, Naruto gave the clerk the money and was out of the shop without a second glance, a trail of dust behind him.
Main Gate of Konoha
Kakashi was livid as he looked around the village, trying to feel for any massive amounts of chakra from a single source. Finding none, he reported to the gate guard and asked if the blonde container had been through here lately.
"Kakashi, I guess you hadn't heard, have you?" one of the guards asked. "The kid was killed by Zabuza Momochi several days ago. I thought he was with you and your team?"
Kakashi was now pissed. He couldn't get any information from the guards, which meant he would have to get the information from the Hokage himself. If that old man doesn't tell me where the demon is, I'll talk to Danzo. He thought, dismissing the two genin behind him. "I'll complete the mission report." He said, looking back to see the Uchiha leaving for home, Sakura following behind him like a little lost puppy trying to get home.

Hokage's Office ~ Three Days Later
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sarutobi could only sigh as he looked over at the former blonde in front of him. "Are you sure about this?" he asked.
"I already told you that I was." The boy growled, looking at his self in a full length mirror. "Now are you gonna pull through?" he asked.
"Do you even need to ask?" Sarutobi asked, only getting a side-ways glare. "Okay fine. Your new name is Reishi Navumo, father died in the Kyuubi attack. Mother died several years later due to illness. Only child, clan status to be granted after the rank of Chuunin due to abnormal chakra capacity and near limitless stamina as well as more suspected bloodline limits. Good so far?" Sarutobi smiled at the nod from the blonde as he fiddled with his now red and orange colored hair. "Team Eight being given a fourth member on a trial basis with several Jounin coming through to give other kinds of instruction on sub-apprentice status."
"One more thing though, Oji-san." The newly named shinobi smirked. "I don't want Kakashi near me." He growled at the thought of the Jounin finding out his secret. "I don't need him compromising me in this new life."
Sarutobi smiled as he looked at the boy in front of him. Gone was the boy's orange jumpsuit, being replaced by a pair of black and red camouflage cargo pants with a long-sleeved mesh shirt with a tye-dye tank top covered by a long sleeve over-top. His hands were encased in the gloves given to him by the shop-clerk. A mask covered the lower half of Reishi's face, but unlike the plain mask that Kakashi wore, Reishi wore one that resembled a demons lower face with an open mouth, mesh covering the opening that could be opened or closed. In the boys hair, much to the old man's surprise, was a pair of weirdly designed kunai that Naruto had once found in a training ground. They attached to the ends of longer hair resembling a beasts talons. But as it was, his hair wasn't long enough to use it like that, but had found a way to attach it to a chain if needed making it out to be a kusarigami in case of emergency. "You really do want to go through with this, even with what you have already have lost?" he asked the boy.
"What did I lose that I can't regain?" Reishi asked. "I already know that Konohamaru is going to need help, even later down the line." he sighed. "Hokage-sama, I want this an S class secret, to be only broken by me, and confirmed by you. I don't want anyone knowing about this." He growled, his fists at his side tightening. "I hate to leave everyone thinking that I am dead, but I need this, and so do others." He replied, looking back at the Hokage. "Please call the rookie's here. I want to introduce myself. I am keeping my dream by the way." He smirked, causing the Hokage to sweat-drop. He immediately called the ANBU to bring in the rookie 9, or as the case was, the rookie 8.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx An hour later xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Naruto, now named Reishi, stood in a darker corner of the Hokage's office, waiting. As he waited, he had been looking through everything that he had been given by his parents. House keys, jutsu scrolls that seemed to go on forever in a hidden library, designs for weapons that the shopkeepers would die for, etc. etc. His meanderings were broken when he heard the office door open, only to wince when he heard the howling of what sounded like a wounded animal, followed by the sounds of a girl crying. Reishi's heart seemed to stop as he looked at who seemed to enter the office door. Hinata Hyuuga and her team where there, including their Jounin-sensei. Hinata looked like she had been crying for hours by the way her face looked. She didn't even seem to have the strength to stand if it weren't for Shino and Kiba holding her up. As soon as the door closed again however, Hinata lost the last of her will and wailed out in misery as she cried out in pain. Reishi looked at her as she cried. He had no idea why she was crying. She had always blushed and fainted whenever he was around, and whenever she was actually awake, she was either stuttering or playing with her index fingers.
Shino looked distraught as he had no idea how to help. "Hinata-chan, you know that Naruto would not want you to be like this." He said as calmly as he could. "He would want you to be happy, even if he wasn't here."
"Idiot!" Kiba shouted, pushing him away from Hinata. "You had to bring up that dead-last?" he asked, causing Reishi to refrain from growling at the mutt boy. "He's dead! Now we have to make her feel better!" he shouted.
Hinata seemed to cheer up at something. Looking around, she stopped crying. Why do I smell ramen? She asked herself as she looked around the office, hoping that her crush would be there somewhere, waiting to prank them or something. "Naruto-kun." She whimpered.
Any further comment was pushed aside as team ten came into the office. They looked like they had just gotten back from a mission. All three of them looked sleep deprived, Chouji included. The Akimichi wasn't even holding any food in his hands. Shikamaru looked like he didn't know what to believe anymore, his eyes darting all over the place in confusion. "Hokage-sama? We came to bring in the mission report and got told that you wanted to see us?" Asuma Sarutobi sighed as he too walked in behind his team, a lit cigarette in his mouth.
The door once again interrupted any kind of response from the Hokage as Kakashi, Sakura and Sasuke entered the office like they owned the place. "Hokage-sama, we just got back from that pathetic excuse of country, and we get told to get over here?" Sasuke growled, not noticing the sound of tightening leather as Reishi clenched his fist.
At Sasuke's comment, everyone glared at him, except for Ino and Sakura of course. But as they looked at the growling noise from the couch, Sasuke was immediately slammed into the wall via gentle fist strike. Everyone gasped as Hinata seemed to want to continue the fight in anger. "You dare call yourself a shinobi." She growled. "Where is his body, Uchiha!?" she shouted, her foot now dangerously close to the Uchiha's groin.
The Uchiha was silent as he stared at his attacker, not even understanding what he had done wrong. "Leave him alone Hinata." Sarutobi began. "He has no control over what happened."
"Bullshit!" Hinata shouted, causing Reishi to smirk. "You and I both know that if this little bitch of a 'prodigy' was even a little bit strong, he would have been able to save…" she frowned in her own anger. "He would still be alive." She said, looking back at her team before moving to sit with them. She was only successful. Midway there, Sasuke seemed to grow a backbone as he charged the now defenseless Hyuuga. He was almost there, a kunai raised in anger as he attacked. But before he reached her, a rather weird looking pair of chains wrapped around his arms and legs causing him to fall on his back. The attack didn't end however. The chains began pulling him toward a far corner. Once in the corner, the sound of jingling chain was heard before the smack of leather meeting flesh was heard. A second after the noise, Sasuke was launched out of the corner and landed into a sofa, a long length of black chain wrapped around him from shoulders to ankles, much to the outrage of his fan girls.
"Now," a deep voice growled out of the corner. "I may be new to the whole team thing around here, but if I would guess it, you're the arrogant kind of idiot who gets their teammates killed in a mission." It mocked, a black blade pointing toward the Uchiha. "I don't care about your name, boy. I don't care about ANYBODIES names in this room except for the old man behind the desk."
As everyone looked at the corner, Reishi walked out of the corner, his sword still pointing at the chained Uchiha. "Hello, everyone. The names Reishi. How are you today." He smiled behind his mask.
A/N: I know this is an odd concept. Everyone either banishes or something or other. This idea was on my computer as I slept and found it like it is. Please review if you'd like me to continue. I like what I have planned for the story, so please give me ideas. Planning on a Wind/Water affinity with a much lower metal affinity (I may actually give him the Iron sand bloodline depending on what ideas I can get. Looking for a yes or no on reviews to this) so please read and review!
