Shackled Wind

by Our hero

When Kumo's 'Diplomat' tried to kidnap Hinata Hyuga he didn't count on Konohana's pariah seeing his crime, but he was sure he'd win that fight, he didn't but because of tensions between the villages and a possible war that might break out the last Uzumaki turns himself in, growing up in the Leaf's most secure prison hasn't made him weak, now if he'd only stop breaking out to fight.

Shackled Wind,

Five yeas ago

The fourth Raikage opened the door to the Hokage's office, he'd wondered why he'd been asked to come in person, the only reason he could think of would be if his spy had been discovered mid kidnap attempt, but if that had happened he expected a declaration of war not a personal summons, he hadn't even been restricted from brining his toughest guards with him,

As he opened the door he saw Sarutobi behind his desk, Two clan heads, one from the Hyuga clan, the other of the Yamanaka clan, and the last he didn't know but she had the look of a Nurse,

"Sarutobi," A said nodding his head at the old monkey behind the desk,

"A," Sarutobi greeted back,

A traversed the room and sat inside one of the chairs in front of the desk, "You've already met my brother Bee right?," A asked as his brother followed,

"No," Sarutobi stated, "But my successor talked highly of your skill before his passing," Sarutobi said kindly,

"Oooooooh yeah, A master of light he and I did fight, Blonde hair, fair skin, the sounds of blades clashing, and though my sting didn't fell him in mind our battle remains souls clashed, wills tested and in the end I was bested~," Bee rapped,

"Enough Bee," A groaned, he didn't want to be here longer then possible, "Why did you want to see me Sarutobi?,"

"I think I'd better explain this," Hiashi Hyuga said, stepping forward, slowly he bowed his head to the foreign leader, "Raikage-Dono, while your diplomat was in my care he was assaulted,"

"ASSAULTED!?," A stood up, he pointed a finger at Hiashi "I demand satisfaction, In fact I demand the member of your clan that-,"

"And there lies the problem," Sarutobi stated, he nodded at Inoichi who held up a sheet of paper,

"According to multiple eye witnesses while the Hyuga heiress and your diplomat were going out for some ice cream they came upon a young boy who and I quote, 'Took one look at his ugly mug and decided to improve it', the next several minuets consisted of him beating your diplomat so bad that we've had him on life support since Hiashi found him and had him placed in the hospital," Inoichi read,

"A child?," A asked, "You expect me to believe that a child could-,"

"It's not like he was a ninja," Inoichi said, "Your diplomat I mean, the unprovoked assault must have surprised him,"

"Not to mention it took three full grown Hyuga chunin to hold the boy down," Hiashi stated, "Which says a lot about how strong he was despite being a child,"

A shut his mouth, he knew the situation was impossible, that ''Diplomat'' was a Jonin who was really good at disguising himself, no child could have beaten him, but if he said as much they'd catch on to what he had planned, if they didn't already know and weren't just trying to have him incriminate himself,

One never could tell with Sarutobi, on one hand he was old enough that even A felt that grandfather persona he put on and the numerous slips like the Uchiha clan massacre that had happened on his watch made him seem like he wasn't as all there as he used to be, but on the other Sarutobi was a Kage among Kage, a powerful shinobi and one A's father knew not to take lightly,

"Fine," A said, "We'll take the kid and his family,"

"They're dead, they died in the Kyubi attack, and the boy doesn't listen to anyone, even me," Sarutobi said, "We've had to incarcerate him just to keep him from walking off,"

"Incarcerate?," A asked, "Like he's in prison right now?," Jesus how strong was this brat?,

The nurse spoke next, "It was the only option," she said, "Broken wrists, left leg, right ankle, fractured skull, cracked ribs, bruised kidneys and lungs, torn skin-,"

"Is that what you did to the kid?," A asked,

The nurse lowered her head, "That and more is what the kid did to your diplomat,"

"Fine, we'll take our man and-,"

"I wouldn't recommend that Raikage-Dono," the nurse said, "He's on life support, if you take him off he may die,"

"As he was under my care Raikage-Dono I have him in the best room with the best treatment money can buy, I'll also make sure that brat gets the time in prison he truly deserves," Hiashi said,

At this point A knew the situation was unsalvageable, he knew Konohana were struggling to detain inside threats due to the loss of their entire police force in a single night, the brat who beat his man may have been strong but he lost his parents to a demon so he was bound to be a little fucked up but the fact that they just tossed him in a cell spoke of just how messed up he was, and how serious they were taking this, and he couldn't even get his diplomat back yet because of how badly he'd apparently beaten him,

He couldn't take a Hyuga as compensation as they weren't technically at fault, he couldn't demand to know where the ninja were when his diplomat was beaten as such was a village secret, hell since this kid was an orphan he probably wouldn't get much more then a few coins the kid had managed to scrape together,

Despite that he still tried to think of a way to save it until he had left the village the next morning, having decided their was only one thing he could get out of it with, thus before leaving he declared Konohana had his full support in trying to figure out why this kid was so messed up and that hopefully they'd find a way to help him see the error of his ways,

Of course after he'd left 'Hiashi' glared at his back and removed his headband showing the caged bird seal, "Well that went better then expected,"

"Thank you for the performance Hizashi," Hiruzen bowed,

"Seeing how my brother reacted when he realised the Raikage was coming I think it was for the best Hokage-Dono," As soon as he had gotten word Hiashi held both his daughters close and demanded that both the main and branch family were on high alert, literally no one could get in or out of the Hyuga compound, Even Hizashi wasn't able to get back in, though he'd more so been on an errand for his brother,

"How is Naruto doing anyway?," Inoichi asked,

"He ate the 'thank you for saving my daughter' cake my brother requested, and then spent the entirety of my visit trying to break out of his cell out of boredom,"

"Considering he beat up a Jonin he might actually do it," Inoichi stated,

"Indeed, and just as I predicted the Raikage knew he'd get nothing out of this and left before he could get caught," Sarutobi said,

Then he turned to the 'Nurse', "How was the Raikage's visit to his beaten ninja?,"

"He not so sneakily took any evidence that might have incriminated himself and made sure I kept the Yamanaka out of his mind, for his villages secrets safety of course," She said as she donned her Neko mask,

"Good," Sarutobi said, "So nothing was lost," his smile wavered, 'Well nothing but the loss of a young boys freedom, Naruto the sacrifice you've made would be fit of any kage,' though he knew and had painstakingly informed the boy that his prison time would make him unable to take the position of Hokage,

"That Uzumaki-kun valued the sake of the Hyuga family over his own dream will not go unappreciated Hokage-dono," Hizashi said, "Though I am only acting clan head, that he came clean about what he'd done and took responsibility for it will be a debt I intend to make sure my family repays in full,"

"I'm sure Neko will be glad to take that message to him," Hiruzen said,

OCTOPUS-Present day-OCTOPUS

Hiruzen groaned audibly as his door was pushed open, "Let me guess, Hokage-sama Prisoner 540 has escaped again!, am I right?,"

The twin wardens one a man the other a woman nodded, "Yes sir!,"

Hiruzen sighed, he pulled out an abacus, "Another escape attempt means he'll be in prison till he's Sixty, or was it Sixty two?," he asked,

"Sir you don't seem concerned," one guard noted,

"He escaped from solitary confinement," the other said,

"Six feet of rebar reinforced concrete, and he just punched through it,"

Sarutobi whistled, "Six feet, that is a new record for him, but why was he out of his cell?," Hiruzen asked, "At this point solitary's walls are thinner then his own cell," Hiruzen said,

The two looked at each other, "That's right they are," one said,

"Eight feet thick right?," the other stated,

"Is that why he insulted Karen?,"

"Is that why he gave his food to the stupid brothers so they'd bounce all day?,"

"Is that why he suggested solitary would be the best punishment?,"

"Is that why-," The girl blinked, "What?," she asked, "He, you know the criminal who keeps escaping, suggested solitary, and you put him in there?,"

The male nodded, "Well he-,"

"I know what he's spent the last week doing brother, hence why you don't just let him decide what's best,"

"Oh like it's different then the time he told you he was going to pick flowers for your birthday during lights out and you let him outside without supervision?,"

"He came back with flowers," the girl defended,

"They were crushed and wilted!,"

"As entertaining as both of your failures to hold a perpetually handcuffed thirteen year old boy dressed in bright orange is perhaps you two should go make sure your facility is still running without you both,"

"But there's another thing," the girl said,

"You tell him, I'll go back," the male said slipping out of the room,

"Right, those strange handcuffs, their chain slowly extends the longer he wears them," she said, "Now he has no problem punching with them,"

"He never had a problem punching with them though," Hiruzen said, "That was one of your original complaints with the handcuffs,"

"Well you said they'd restrict him," she said, "But I swear they're making him stronger,"

Hiruzen sighed, "Not him, his power, those are handcuffs made by the first Hokage and his wife, they're Adamantine Sealing Wood Cuffs, sacred treasures only I have the key to, they may be the only things he can't break out of,"

"And that's true but," she twiddled her fingers, "Are you sure there's no Adamantine Sealing Wood Pillory?, it wouldn't need a post, I'm sure if we had strong enough padlocks he wouldn't be able to break free,"

Hiruzen groaned again, 'It seems I'll have to deal with this instead of seeing you my young friend,' he thought,

OCTOPUS-Meanwhile-OCTOPUS

The academy had started letting it's students out so the streets were filled with the cheers of the now free students,

An odd group of them had found they all had the same path to walk down, Sakura Haruno, Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, Kiki Inuzuka, and Sasuke Uchiha, The first two were arguing over the uncaring Uchiha, the Nara heir stood close to Choji as they talked about the shapes of the clouds above them, And Kiki tried to think of how much time she'd have after seeing her therapist, if she had the time she'd try asking to train with her older sister, while Akamaru tried to get her attention,

The entire group was brought out of their thoughts and arguments after they heard a multitude of pained groans,

"What was that?," Sakura asked as she hid behind Sasuke,

"It came from down there," Kiki said pointing down an alleyway, then her and her dogs nose twitched, "That smell?," she asked before adopting a feral grin and both sprinted down it,

Sasuke followed after her, partly because they shared the same therapist and he didn't want her to miss her appointment again, the others watched him as he walked down the alley and froze on the other side,

"Sasuke?," Ino asked,

Ever the friendly person Choji ran over to the stunned Uchiha, and then with a gasp of surprise stood in front of him,

"Choji what's going on?," Shikamaru asked,

"Bodies," Choji said, "There are bodies lining the streets,"

Shikamaru ran over to his friend and looked around, Choji hadn't lied, their were villagers and Ninja, all over the street, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he realised they were just all unconscious, beaten but alive, "Jeez you had me worried for a sec,"

"W-WHAT HAPPENED!?," Sakura shouted seeing the beaten bodies of the citizens of Konohana,

"Not so loud Sakura," Choji said, then he placed his hands on Sasuke's shoulders, "Hey buddy, snap out of it they aren't dead, just punched,"

It took some shaking but soon Choji had the Uchiha out of his nightmare, "What happened here?," Ino asked, "And why are you two so damn calm?,"

"Only one person in the leaf is capable of this," Shikamaru said pointing down the street,

Sat upon an unconscious woman was a boy around their age, he had shaggy blonde hair, six whisker like marks on his cheeks, an orange prison shirt and trousers, with the number 540 on his shirt where his pocket would be, on his back were the words KONOHANA S.C.F., on his feet were white shoes, his wrists had wooden shackles and what connected them was a long chain, he was eyeing them uninterestedly,

"Who's that?," Ino asked poking her head from behind Sasuke,

Unfortunately Shikamaru's explanation was cut off when Sasuke sprinted toward the blonde teen, "WHY'D YOU DO THIS?!," he roared aiming a kick at the blondes head,

"Just tryna shake this boredom," The blonde replied dodging under the kick and standing up, Sasuke took a step back, the obvious prisoner shrugged with a smirk, "What's the matter Sas?, scared or something?,"

"Sas?, that's the best you could think of?," Sasuke asked taking his interceptors fist stance,

"Well that, Kay, Duckass, Emo, Trance, and Femboy," the unknown teen smirked before aiming a punch at the Uchiha's face,

Sasuke grabbed the teens hand and used it to swing into a kick on the blondes face, but the con twisted his wrist so that Sasuke's kick missed, as soon as Sasuke let go of the wrist the other teen said "Bingo!," And punched Sasuke,

Sasuke was quick enough to put his shoulder in the path of the punch, unfortunately he didn't realise how much the punch would hurt until he was hit by it, the single punch nearly knocked him off his feet, Suddenly chains were at his throat, he looked at his opponent and watched as he flipped over him then with a smirk the unknown teen used the chain at Sasuke's neck to throw him back over to his friends,

The now yawning teen slowly walked over to them, "That's enough of a practice round, let's start round one,"

Sasuke held his pained shoulder, "You're... tougher then... I thought,"

"SASUKE!," Sakura cried as she and Ino ran over to him,

"Leave him alone!,"

The blonde messed up his hair, "Sorry Kay, since I usually fight older people I guess I held back less on you,"

"RAAAAAGH," The blonde looked up after the cry and dodged back to avoid a kick from Kiki, She grinned looking up, "Hey blondie,"

"Kiba," The teen greeted friendly, "How've you been?," Akamaru barked drawing the blondes attention down to the little dog, "You too Akamaru," he said kneeling to scratch the dogs ears, Akamaru rubbed it's head against the cons leg,

She frowned slightly, "It's Kiki now, I had it changed,"

The teen rubbed his chin, "Riiiiiight," he said after a few minutes, "So Kiki's what you went with?," he asked,

She grinned putting her hands behind her head, "Yeah, I just heard it and it was just like that's a cute name you know,"

"A cute name, for an almost feral girl," he snarked,

"Watch it whiskers," Kiki grinned punching him in the shoulder, "Specially since you busted out again, you sure you got time to talk?, I think I can smell the search party coming for you," she teased,

The blonde waved off her concerns, "Yeah yeah, hey when'd you change your name though?, usually you tell me this stuff,"

"Last time you escaped," Kiki said crossing her arms, "I was the reason your guards realised you busted out,"

"Sorry dude I woulda stayed longer if I knew you were coming to visit,"

"S'fine, I talked to Hinata, she her sister and a few of her family was there for some reason," Kiki said,

"Oooh girl talk, sounds...," he yawned, "Fascinating," he drawled,

"Like you don't think that about anything not fight related," Shikamaru said as he walked over to the two,

"Hey Shika, how's it hanging man?," The whiskered teen said,

"I can't decide what's worse, that you'd ask that, or that you'd expect me to answer that,"

"Still taking life seriously eh man?," The teen put his hands behind his head, "Must be a drag,"

Shika turned to Kiki, "Can you punch him?,"

"I could, not sure I'd win in time for my therapy though,"

After she was sure the blonde was friendly Ino walked over, "Hey guys who's your cute friend?," she asked,

"This Jailbird is Naruto Uzumaki," Kiki said,

"Naruto?," Ino asked, "Didn't he beat up some-," Naruto interrupted her hadn't placed his hand over her mouth,

She looked at the con covering her mouth, He winked at her, "Careful love, talking about that was banned by the third remember?, if you aren't careful you might end up in orange too," he warned, he removed his hand and said, "The official story is that I beat up a bunch citizens,"

"A bad boy huh?," Ino smiled, "Since you already thought about it I gotta know," she struck a pose, "You think I'd look good in orange?,"

"Maybe," he shrugged,

"INO!," Sakura shouted, "Why're you fawning over the guy that beat up Sasuke?, and is a wanted criminal?,"

"Oh come on Sakura, even you have to admit he's kinda cute," Ino said,

"Hey, s'that Choji over there?," Naruto asked noticing the large teen,

Choji had opened a bag of crisps when Shikamaru walked over to the blonde, he stopped eating them and waved to Naruto, "Hey, how're you?, is, you know, treating you well?," he asked awkwardly,

Naruto chuckled, "Prison's fine pal," then he rubbed his chin, "Well for me at least,"

"Sorry, we didn't talk much before you were taken in," Choji said, he offered the bag to Naruto, "Crisp?,"

"Sure," Naruto said reaching inside, "Oh, only one left,"

Choji was torn, he always wanted the last crisp, it soaked up all the flavour, but Naruto hadn't had crisps in forever, He thrusted the bag to the blonde, "You take it," he said,

"Nah," Naruto pushed it back to him, "It's a rule, you always get the last one,"

"But-,"

"Next time we meet I'll have one then," Naruto said, "I'd feel bad if I took the last one off you,"

"Okay," Choji said,

"So why'd you break out today man?, got a new target in mind?," Kiki asked,

"Yeah, I heard something super scary in prison," he grinned, "Apparently there's this haunted house on Konohana's border, some guy will be imprisoned just for going there,"

The way he worded that was weird, so Ino asked, "Will be?,"

Naruto nodded, "Yeah, they can't put him in the prison right now cause he's on life support, I heard some guards talking about it apparently the guy's body looked like he'd gone toe to toe with a bear, I actually just came from the hospital," Naruto admitted, "He talks in his sleep, begs her to let him go, that he's sorry for coming into her house,"

"Hold on," Shikamaru said, "Who else told you about this?, cause some guards talking would've made you check the place out, not the victim,"

Naruto chuckled, "So perceptive Shika buddy," he laughed, "Yeah I asked Neko about it, and she said that a clan heir lives in the house and apparently she's super dangerous and has some hate boner for the Leaf," Naruto stated punching his hand, "I was going anyway but seeing the condition that guy was in just makes me wanna fight harder you know,"

"You want some back up?," Kiki asked, even Shikamaru seemed willing to help,

"Nah, this is kinda personal, like a future fellow con nearly got torn to shreds by some monster witch," He said, "And now I gotta go show her why that's a bad idea,"

"Sounds like an excuse," Shika said,

"And exactly the kinda excuse you'd come up with," Kiki stated, "Well good luck man, try not to get torn up yourself,"

Shikamaru groaned, "That'd be terrible, we'd have to go avenge you if that happened,"

"Yeah yeah I'll be careful," Naruto said, "Later guys,"

"Later," Kiki grinned,

"See ya handsome," Ino flirted,

"Nice seeing you again," Choji smiled, "I'll try to visit you when you're caught,"

"Just go back to your cell," Shikamaru almost pleaded,

"Bye," Sakura said bitterly, "Oh and thanks for breaking Sasuke's shoulder,"

"Tch," Sasuke groaned in pain, "It's not broken, it just hurts,"

Ino wrapped her arms around Kiki and Shikamaru, "So, he's your friend eh?,"

"Careful Ino," Kiki said,

"Why Kiki?, are you crushing on him too?," Ino asked with a smirk,

"Trust her Ino you don't wanna go down that road with Naruto," Shikamaru said seriously, "Least not right now,"

Ino was stunned, Kiki was one thing she was a joker, always messing around so Ino expected her to say something like Naruto didn't like blondes, or had some strange highly contagious rash, thus Ino's instinct was to turn it around on her, but Shikamaru telling her not to do something worried her, "Huh?, why not?,"

"Cause there's many things he dislikes, but there's one thing Naruto Uzumaki can't stand," Kiki said, she gestured to the street still littered with beaten down citizens, "Weaklings,"

"What?," Ino looked around, would Naruto do that to her because she wasn't very strong,

"Easy," Shikamaru said, "This," he gestured to as many people as he could, "Was over something that happened long ago, he probably wouldn't beat you up just for being weak,"

"Abandoning you in a forest is another story," Kiki said as the group now watched the fight loving blonde slowly wander off,

OCTOPUS-Later-OCTOPUS

Naruto had wandered into a forest and gotten into more then a few fights, they weren't very strong though well except for the bear so he just kept walking, he didn't really know which way to go so he just walked forward,

Eventually he saw a cliff, he knew that had some importance since the now hospitalised and soon to be imprisoned guy was a mountain climber and while no one was looking Naruto swiped his diary, thanks to it the fight happy con learned the unconscious guy came on a challenge from his friendly rival, she'd suggested they climb all the famous mountains in the Elemental Nations to see which of them was the better climber, however something came up and he had to wait for her in Konohana, the guy's notes wondered if it had something to do with her grandmother who was apparently sick or something,

While he was waiting he decided to climb a cliff which overlooked Konohana, and after he'd done so felt really tired but he felt a strange desire to walk further, at first he shook it off while he was resting,

Naruto looked at the diary again, he opened it to the last page with words on, the guy wasn't the neatest writer, but their was a massive difference in the pages before he climbed the cliff and after, before the words were rough and close together but neatly on the lined paper, after getting to the top his last note were the words, ''I HAVE TO GO''

Trying to compare the last sentence to the writing of the man who wanted to climb the cliff, hell Naruto was sure one of his wardens couldn't tell the two sentences were written by the same guy,

Now Naruto looked up at the cliffside, he didn't know any other cliffs in Konohana, he wanted to ask the citizens but one look at his whiskers and they all whined about the 'demon brat' and made jokes about torches and pitchforks, which was one thing, then one of them said something he couldn't forgive so he reminded them where they stood against him,

Yeah those pitchforks didn't help much these days, maybe that woman who smirked at him as she reminded him what she'd done with one when he was a kid would remember that, especially after he'd smashed it on her ass, he let himself smirk about the thought of her trying to sit down with a bruised, fractured, and splintered ass,

But now he had no choice but to climb this cliff and hopefully what ever force made the guy wanna walk would effect Naruto, well if this was the right cliff, if not he was S.O.L. especially since he was still an escaped convict, he'd never broken out two days in a row before but the heir that hurt that guy needed to be stopped,

She'd gone and made it personal for Naruto,

Thus with a bit of his speciality a little wind jutsu he soared high into the air and landed on the cliff, sure he could've climbed it, but he didn't have the time and the energy would've taken a bit out of him and he hated being winded before a fight, Naruto turned to face the way he'd come, while he did he cracked open the diary again, on the last page the guy'd taken a picture of the view to show he'd been here,

Naruto compared the picture to the view, "Tch, I'm a little too far left," he groaned, "Well only one way to fix that," he said knowing his shadows were drawing closer to him,

His walk was even more uneventful then the walk here had been but at some point Naruto felt a small urge to walk into the forest, he smirked, 'Bingo,' and followed it,

Naruto knew instantly this feeling wasn't natural, but if he hadn't the way the feeling led him would've been a massive tip, he swerved around trees, changed directions six times, and worse he became convinced something strong was at the end of his path, his head filled with nonsense about how tough his opponent was, that he'd be in for the fight of his life,

'So the draw is tailored to who ever it's pulling?,' he thought, Naruto wasn't a Genjutsu person, sure he knew it was legit scary stuff and a totally valid study of any Ninja smart and focused enough to try it, but he was a Taijustu and sub Ninjutsu kinda guy, nothing he loved more then clashing fists with a tough opponent,

But even he knew this was strong stuff, and complex, way too complex for anyone his age, he might have been tough enough to beat a Chunin or two, and reckless enough to throw down with everyone in the village at the same time, but you couldn't punch Genjutsu, and normal Genjutsu didn't tear a guy up like that guy in the hospital had been,

That feeling that was reeling him in was nothing compared to his own excitement, but he schooled it, he wasn't here for pleasure, he was here for revenge.

Soon he saw it, a twisted old mansion that looked haunted, the wood was twisted and old, the windows were cracked and showed darkness, scratches of a beast seemed to decorate the place, and then their was the creaking door,

Naruto groaned, 'Okay put up with that sound for as long as I'm able,' he thought walking over and tearing both doors off their hinges, lazily he tossed them behind him,

Then he realised something, the feeling that had pulled him had stopped, telling him he'd arrived, He punched his hand and walked in, "This ones for you guy who's name I never bothered to learn," it was in the diary, but Naruto didn't even give it a glance,

Just cause he was getting revenge for the guy didn't mean he needed to know his entire life story or anything,

Thus Naruto walked inside the dark old mansion ready to swing his fists as soon as he saw anyone living in the shitty place,

OCTOPUS-Meanwhile-OCTOPUS

Kurenai was mad, five minuets ago she and her boyfriend were asleep cuddling on the sofa after watching a film, then they were woken up by Yugito, who told them some blonde jerkass had broken out of prison to beat up Yakumo, and since Kurenai requested that she be called in for anything that called for dealing with the Kurama clan heir Neko and Kurenai sped off to stop this idiot from poking the mad bear,

"How did he even hear about her?," Kurenai asked, "He's supposed to be in prison and she's half way across the village,"

"There was a mountain climber who was found in the nearby forest in critical condition, and since it's believed he may have gotten those wounds from Yakumo, word could have reached Naruto's cell," Neko said evenly, she knew Kurenai would quickly figure out how Naruto had found out about the house,

"That's not likely I thought very few people actually even knew about the Kurama Clan Manor," Kurenai said, "Just me and those who are old enough to remember the already elusive Kurama clan," Then her eyes went wide, "Yugito!," she narrowed her eyes at the cat masked Anbu's back, "Tell me you didn't tell him!,"

"Neko, and yes I did tell him a little about the house though I didn't tell him where it was," Neko stated,

"I can't believe you!," Kurenai said, "I had to steal all joy away from Yakumo because I knew she'd do worse to herself, I didn't expect my friends to try and steal her ability to live comfortably,"

"Naruto acts in his own self interests, even if I had learned about him trying to fight Yakumo before he escaped nothing short of breaking his legs would've stopped him," Neko turned to look at her friend, "Or are you suggesting that I should have done that for Yakumo's safety?,"

Kurenai shot way ahead of the her, "Come on we're wasting time!," she growled,

"Hold on Kurenai," Neko said, "Us staying together is key to the plan,"

"What does he have to gain from pestering Yakumo?," Kurenai snapped,

"She's strong," Neko answered, "And hopefully that's all this is about for him,"

"All?," Kurenai asked, "What else could there be?, he's never even met her before right?,"

"Naruto can't become Hokage due to his imprisonment," Neko said, "Thus he holds a grudge against anyone who likes to crush people's dreams,"

"He's going to fight a girl with a fractured skeleton because of that mountain climber who was taken to the E.R?," Kurenai asked, "Because of a decision he himself made?,"

"Careful Kurenai," Neko warned, "While there aren't many people in this village who know what Naruto did to land in prison, there are fewer who do know and don't feel for him," Neko raced past Kurenai, "Perhaps you should repeat your question to Hinata Hyuga?, see how long it takes her to stop looking at you like her older sister,"

As the group reached the cliff they stopped, Hizashi Hyuga was there, accompanied by his son and his nieces, "Oh good evening Neko," The eldest Hyuga greeted, "It seems our little jailbird has found a new target,"

Before Neko could return the Hyuga's greeting, "Why are you here?," Kurenai asked, her eyes flashed towards Hinata,

"Hinata always tries to find Naruto on his outings Yuhi-san," Hanabi stated, "But even when she finds him she's to shy to approach him,"

"Indeed so Hanabi and I are here to help Hinata find her courage so she might finally give Naruto her thanks," Neji stated crossing his arms,

Hinata blushed and clutched a lunch box close to her chest, "S-sorry," she said meekly,

"Hinata go home," Kurenai commanded,

The group turned as they heard the sound of rattling chains, "Oooh ya hear that?, someone's disappointed in you Hinata," Spoke Naruto who lazed against a nearby tree,

"You!," Kurenai pointed at him, "Get over here and stop trying to visit that mansion,"

Naruto yawned, "I've a better idea," he smirked and rounded the tree, "Why don't you stop me Witch?,"

"GET BACK HERE!," Kurenai shot around the tree, "He's gone,"

Neko shook her head, "No," she said, "It wasn't him," Neko stated,

"Well how else do you explain that?," Kurenai asked,

"I think I have the answer," Hizashi stated, Kurenai turned to him but he gestured behind her,

She turned, "What?," Yakumo's mansion was there, but not just the mansion,

"How'd it get here?," Hanabi asked,

"No, how did we get here?," Neji corrected looking around them, the are they had been in changed,

"Did we walk here?," Hinata asked, then in the window she saw a young brown haired girl sadly watching the group, she noticed Hinata had seen her and waved, in her eyes Hinata saw hope, Hinata felt compelled to meet her, and before she knew what had happened she had entered the doorway and walked inside the house desperate to meet the young lady in the window and find out why she was so sad.

Kurenai frowned, "Something's wrong," she said, and on instinct she cancelled the flow of chakra to her eyes, suddenly Hinata vanished, "No," she gasped,

"Where did-,"

"Yakumo took her," Neko stated,

"No," Kurenai said, "Yakumo can barely stand, let alone confound the mind of a young girl,"

"Well the only other person we know is out here is a brawler, I doubt he's capable of this," Neko said,

"Maybe someone else is here, someone who's using Genjutsu to hide themselves," Kurenai stated, she knew Yakumo wasn't responsible,

"The longer we wait the further away Naruto-san and lady Hinata get," Hizashi said,

"Right!," Kurenai said, "We need to stop him from hurting Yakumo," she declared,

"Denial doesn't suit you," Neko said, as the group entered the house,

OCTOPUS

After he took two steps inside Naruto noticed the light on his back way back had vanished, "So the door's gone?," he asked, "What a pai-," Suddenly a small weight landed on his back and knocked him onto the ground, "Ow,"

"Owww," Hanabi groaned, "Huh?," she stared down at Naruto, "It's you!," she declared,

"Mind getting off me?," he asked,

Hanabi nodded, "Of course sorry sir," she said standing up,

"Don't call me sir," Naruto said as he got back to his feet, "You're Hinata's sister right?,"

Hanabi nodded, "I am Hanabi Hyuga," she bowed so her head pressed against the floor, "Thank you for saving my sister,"

"S'fine," Naruto said looking around, 'The foyer I was just in is gone,' he thought, now the two were in a dusty old music room, "Guess we'll just have to stick together,"

"I agree," Hanabi said calmly,

Naruto walked over to inspect a dust free piano, before he could get too close though a shaking tiny hand grasped his own, He looked to see Hanabi clutching his hand for dear life, while she looked calm she was just hiding her fear, 'Probably cause the Hyuga see me as some big hero or something, so she doesn't want me to think she's scared,' Naruto held her hand, "Good idea kid, this way we won't get separated,"

"Yes, I am glad you approve," Hanabi said,

There was a growl behind them, they turned to see the piano had grown larger, it keys had turned to teeth which it gnashed at them and growled,

Both Hanabi and Naruto instinctively let go of each others hands as they faced the Piano, "I'll show you the power of Hyuga style Taijutsu," Said Hanabi activating her Byakugan and dropping into the gentle fist style,

"Never fought a drooling piano before," Naruto said popping his neck, "Let's see what this does for my boredom," He put his fists up,

Never one to let the pace be set for him when he was excited or had someone to protect Naruto lunged forward striking the piano with a medium Ruffian's Kick to push the piano back, though it absorbed the blow and opened it's lid and wires came out and tried to ensnare him,

Hanabi threw a handful of shuriken that sliced through the wires, then she dashed forward and struck the closest leg, it's mouth opened as it leaned forward to try and eat her up,

But smart as she was Hanabi took out a Kunai and tried to stab it in the mouth,

Though seeing as that'd likely cost the eight year old her arm Naruto dashed forward as he reached behind him, he pulled an adjustable wrench and slammed it into the lid of the piano knocking it down, Hanabi stood up and leaped onto the downed monster piano, she took her kunai and tried stabbing everywhere she could reach,

"You seeing any weakness on this thing?," Naruto asked as he slid his wrench back onto the hidden holder on his back and kicked and punched as much as he could,

Hanabi shook her head, "It looks just like it did before I used the Byakugan," she said, "Probably cause the Genjutsu user can't imagine what it would look like to the Byakugan,"

"So Genjutsu's all about imagination?," Naruto asked,

"No," Hanabi stated as the piano roared and stood back up making her have to jump into Naruto's arms, "It's like a ninjutsu, no matter how much you imagine launching a massive volley of fireballs the Phoenix Flower Jutsu will always be the same," she said as Naruto lowered her to the floor, "But this is a Genjutsu prodigy from the Kurama clan, a clan filled with Genjutsu prodigies, Yakumo always had trouble keeping her Genjutsu's simple, this is the result,"

"Right," Naruto said as he tossed some stones he'd found lying around at the beast, "And you know all of this how?,"

Hanabi frowned, "When I heard that you might be in the area of the forest I looked around for any idea of what could draw you in, thus I discovered the highly redacted tale of Yakumo Kurama," Both she and Naruto leaped backwards to avoid being crushed by the piano trying to jump on them, and answered in kind, "Dashing double palm," Hanabi said as she channelled chakra into her palms and hit the piano with them,

As she started her own attack Naruto aimed another mid, "Ruffian's Kick," at the beast, with the force of both being enough to knock it out the room, it looked at them with it's lack of eyes and growled but withdrew,

"We should pursue it!," Hanabi declared,

But Naruto took her hand, "Forget it, it's just a distraction and it knows it, we got bigger fish to fry, like finding Yakumo and beating the daylights out of her,"

"And my group," Hanabi said,

Naruto blinked, "You came with people?,"

The young girl nodded, "Yes, Uncle Hizashi, Neji, Hin-," Hanabi's eyes watered, "H-h-Hiiiiiiinaaaaaataaaaaaa!," she suddenly wailed grabbing Naruto's shirt, "WE HAVE TO FIND HER!," is probably what she meant instead of all the sobs and cries she actually said while tugging on Naruto's shirt,

"Yeah, yeah, find and save your sister," Naruto yawned, "Well fortunately you can see though walls right?,"

Hanabi nodded and focused for a full minute while Naruto sat on the floor in front of her,

"Hinata is the only person I can't find," Hanabi said looking like she was on the verge of tears,

"That's good," Naruto said,

Hanabi gave him a confused look, "Forgive my lack of experience at saving my sister but how is that good?,"

Naruto yawned, "Who's together?,"

Hanabi looked around, she studied the forms of the Ninja she'd seen outside "Uncle Hizashi and Neji are, and us."

Naruto rubbed his neck, "So we're the only pair you can see?," Hanabi nodded, "And where's Yakumo?,"

Hanabi checked again, but she couldn't find anyone else, as far as she could tell in the house there were two women, one man, and two teenage boys, and one eight year old girl, and not a soul more, "I can't see anyone else," She said,

"Which means Hinata and Yakumo may be together," Naruto said standing up he took Hanabi's hand and asked, "Tell me what you know about Yakumo,"

Hanabi nodded, it'd pass the time as they searched.

Hinata came upon a large tea room, the smells of various teas brought a smile to her face, slowly she entered the room and after she'd turned to lightly close the door she turned back and was face to face with a brown haired auburn eyed teen slightly older then her,

"Hiya new friend," she greeted chipperly, nearly making the meek Hinata jump out of her skin,

"AHHH," Hinata cried as she fell over, "S-sorry for entering your house without knocking I ju-,"

"Please it's alright, besides you didn't enter my house without my permission, I called you in here," Yakumo said helping Hinata up,

"Y-you did?," Hinata asked,

"Yeah," Yakumo nodded so fast it was like her head would fall off, "I wanted to talk to you, especially you," she said,

"Um wh-why?," Hinata asked,

"I need to warn you," Yakumo said seriously making the air in the room cool considerably, then she slid around Hinata and grabbed her hands, "It's almost like in you I can see myself," Yakumo said, "Well, the me that used to exist before all this happened," she said absentmindedly making Hinata clap her hands,

"Um c-c-can I g-g-get my h-hands back p-please?," Hinata asked politely,

"Sure," Yakumo said letting her hands go, "Hey wanna play a game?," Yakumo asked holding up a stack of board games "Nobody ever comes here so I mostly have to play alone,"

"O-okay," Hinata said,

OCTOPUS-The end-OCTOPUS

---

Now that the wardens had left Sarutobi looked over the file for prisoner number 540, one Naruto Uzumaki,

He opened the file, the first thing he saw were two mugshots, the first was of a grinning child who held up his number with both hands, the second was of a snarky fight happy teen who lazily held up his number with one hand with a bored look on his face,

Name: Naruto Uzumaki,

Age: 13,

Crime/s: Assault and Battery, Numerous Prison Escapes, General Mayhem, Assault with deadly weapons, Disturbing the peace,

Chakra Nature: Wind,

Strength: Has punched through a six foot rebar reinforced concrete wall,

Weaknesses: Naruto gets bored easily and his main method for dealing with that boredom is finding someone strong and picking a fight with them, despite his great hearing Naruto almost never listens to suggestions and prefers to handle things his way, nor does he know when to stop fighting and if left to him he wouldn't stop if it killed him, hates weaklings, has a seemingly arbitrary use of stealth, often intentionally provokes people into fights simply to amuse himself,

Skills: Keen sense of smell, sight, and hearing, has a skill with mental manipulation as he seems able to provoke most people into fighting him,

Techniques:

Regular- [Naruto's default state, fists, feet, and handcuffed] {Cute as a button :3 Neko}

Criminal Upper: An uppercut followed by a small tornado [Naruto's personal favourite jutsu has a mix of both offense and defence]

Ruffians Kick: A low, medium, and high set of sliding kicks, [Not sure how he slides for the kick but he's quite damaging with it]

Zonk Punch: A fierce sucker punch Naruto 'Charges' after throwing a punch it has ''block breaking properties'' and combo's into his other moves [Naruto learned this from watching prisoners brawl with brass knuckles, should limit him from watching anymore fights]

Knock-Knock: He pulls out a large spanner he hides down the back of his shirt and knocks his opponent down, [Naruto's naming choices are often moody or sarcastic, this move's name is a rare display of his childish sense of humour since he often asks 'Your unconscious who?' after using this and sometimes knocks on his opponent's skull before using it]

Bad Rock: Naruto scoops up a handful of rocks and tosses them a few times before throwing them at his enemies, [We originally laughed when he said 'and I threw a rock at him, then he threw some at a prisoner who annoyed him, now we have to get prisoner 428 to ER to check for a concussion]

Final Destruction: Naruto unleashes a flurry of punches before giving them what he refers to as ''A less subdued Criminal Upper'' [Naruto's phrasing does prove that he holds back a lot when he fights most people, but in prison we've seen his 'Less subdued Criminal Upper' so many times he can't even take credit for naming it Criminal Punisher]

Dead End Irony: Naruto kicks a surprising amount of dust at his enemy before brutalising them with a large spanner he hides down his shirt, then he knocks them into the air and replaces the spanner with a pipe he hides down his shirt and knocks the airborne enemy away, [Where all the sand/dust/whatever he kicks comes from we'll never know, once he did it in an entirely spotlessly clean room and still kicked up a large amount of it]

Rough Injustice: [Naruto stated this would be a cool name for a move and asked that we book mark it]

Jailbird's Flight: Naruto spins around making a small localised tornado to make him soar into the air for brief periods of time [He made this jutsu to escape the island prison anytime he busted out, he's very lucky he isn't dead] {I'll have another word with him about that D:{ Neko}

Ball and Chain: A grab from behind Naruto uses his chains to strangle opponents into unconsciousness, [In recent years he developed a version that has him jump and curl into a ball further adding to the strangulation]

Topsy Turvy: A grab from in front, where Naruto places his chain at his opponent's neck, flips over them, and tosses them away,

Side armed- [When he pulls out that Kunai he's still thinks he's hiding from us, fortunately he seems to actually listen to Neko and hasn't tried to stab any other inmates] {So proud. TwT Neko}

Slashin' Mad: Naruto has displayed some skill with a knife beyond just using it as a shank, this move has him hook it on his pinkie and slash his opponents rapidly switching from one way of holding it to another, [Neko please stop teaching him how to use a knife before he hurts someone] {If he does, they deserved it :p Neko}

Bad Toss: Exactly the same as Bad Rock but with a knife instead of rocks, [We've never actually seen this one, nor do we know if he's thought of it, but we guaranty he'll do it] {He said he actually calls it Bad Knife, he was actually surprised you figured out he had it in his back pocket. ^w^ Neko}

Pipe Punk- [Naruto arms himself with a pipe and swings it like a bat] {He said cool name and that it was way better then what he was thinking of 'w' Neko}

Rock swing: Airborne people or tossed up rocks, Naruto can knock them both back with a home run swing, [So since you're reading these what's up with the emoticon thing?] {It was supposed to be a heart but the site kept deleting the sideways v so the author changed it :3 Neko}

Unchained- [When the theoretical gloves, or in this case power sealing handcuffs come off the world will shiver] {Wonder how strong he'd be?, you aren't alone '_' Neko}

He closed the file, "Should I?," he wondered, he'd been debating this decision since the blonde had been locked away, 'Where would he be happier?,' Sarutobi wondered,

Had this idea ever since got back into street fighter, Cody's been my fav since I first played Ultra Street Fighter IV, Not sure if this gets a continuation just a story I wrote,

Also I made Kiba trans cause I felt like it.
