Chapter 22: Passing Days

The sky was clear blue with a couple of clouds passing here and there. Deep down the forest there stood a cave that's 5 feet wide and 8 feet tall, inside the cave was pitch black then all of a sudden a whistling sound was heard. In the front of the cave there a gust of wind was blowing then ashes or dust seems to circulate from the entrance until it started forming into a person. At that he opens his eyes and checks his watch.

"Well...well...it took me an hour to get here from the stone country to the fire country" the man spoke to himself and put his hand back in his pocket. He had brown hair with bags under his eyes and was wearing a large coat with a white scarf around his neck and he was wearing black baggy pants.

"It's getting hot...I might as well make my self comfortable..." as he said that he took out his scarf then open up his jacket which reveals a huge scar across his chest and his right arm looks to be a old cut with stitches. He put his scarf in the pocket of his coat with a smile he walks right in the cave.

There a sat a man in his chair while looking at his red whine then it trickled a bit then the man narrowed his eyes. "So...I have a visitor..." he thought to himself.

"Shall I see who it is..." hissed a voice that walks out of the shadowy corner standing right behind the grayish-silver haired man. He was a green ninja but had eyes like a snake. "Go ahead...Hachuu do as you please..." spoke the man in calm voice.

"As you wish Master Mizuki ..." bowed the ninja who crawled on to the wall and to the ceiling and made its way out.

The man stared at his red whine then drank it with a smile, "I wonder who it could be..." he mentally though to himself and continued taking another sip.

"Hmmnnn...there's so much tunnel's here..." whispered the man then a thought occurred to him he smirked and started doing hand seals then stuck out his hand in the air and pointed at the ground. "The Art of Raising the Dead: Bone's Walker" he whispered in a calm voice.

Something strange happen the ground that he pointed at started moving then what came out was a dogged which is decayed over the years. Half of its face was you could see its bones and the rest of his body as well which should a few skin and flesh marks. As soon it came out from the ground it barked.

The man smiled, "Hello there Kaman..." he began then bent down until it was at the dog's height. "Can you help me find where Mizuki-kun is hiding." He asked cheerfully.

The dog replied with a bark, the man once again smiled and stood up, "Lead the way Kaman..." as he said that he followed where the dog was taking him.

After 10 minutes of searching around the dogged barked once again "Are you sure this is the way Kaman?" Asked the man who seems to be bored?

"Well that dog of yours is right..." a voice spoke up.

The man turns his head to see a young cute girl with brown hair, she had fair skin who was wearing a jade like color ninja suit which was showing a lot of cleavage.

"Long time no see Hisui-chan" spoke the man.

The girl smiled and said , "Hi there Yakuza-kun...and master Mizuki is down two halls with that she hugged the man and took a step back with her hand's behind her. "Oh yeah and give my regards too Naruto-kun" she giggled and walk away.

The man smiled at seeing the girl disappeared into the darkness then his dogged bark at the ceiling. "What' wrong..." he question then stared up the ceiling.

There stood a green ninja stuck on the ceiling then quickly landing in front of the man. "So it's you what does a former Shinsenkani doing here..." asked the reptile like ninja who only hissed.

"Kukuku...I came to ask Mizuki-kun a few question's regarding about Naruto-kun" replied the man with cheerful smile.

"Well unlucky for you...this ends here..." remarked the green ninja who leaped with tremendous speed.

The man saw this and smirked to himself 'Do you think you can touch me...' he mentally spoke to himself.

Then with a blur the green ninja found himself in front of the man who was twisting the reptile ninja's right wrist while his left wrist was hold in a lock by the man's death grip.

"Your very strong..." replied the reptile like ninja who only hissed and got out of the lock and turn itself invisible. "This is my ability to make myself unseen by the naked eye..." the green ninja hissed.

"The man smiled and continued walking ahead, "Come on now ... Kaman don't be afraid let's go pay a visit" he ushered his half dead dogged.

"There's no way your visiting him..." hissed the voice once again who was unseen.

The man seem impatient and narrowed his eyes and turn his head to the left and stuck out his hand which grab someone and he lifted his arm higher in the air to reveal a particular green ninja who was being choked.

"I have not come here for games..." he remarked and threw the ninja behind him and continued walking followed by his dogged.

The ninja stood up and spoke to himself, "He is the last survivor of that horrible clan."

After a few walks down the last two hall's he managed to find the room and entered it with a welcome gesture. "May I come in...Mizuki-kun" the man smiled to himself.

There stood Mizuki sitting on a chair with a long table in front of him then there seems to be a girl sitting at the corner of the table. She has the same clothes as Hisui but color blue but showed more cleavage. She had black hair that has soft clean white skin. She took a metal fan in front of her and opens it up.

"Ah...it's you Yakuza Shichiro former Shinsenkani I presumed" grimace the Grayish-silver haired Ninja.

The girl then spoke up, "Hmmmm...you were able to come here unharmed, what is Hachuu-san doing." She questions herself and closed the fan and placing it on the table.

The man smiled and said, "The one you call Hachuu, the ninja with lizard like powers with an ability to turn himself invisible..." he began then took a glance at the girl.

"He's one of the best of the brothers of shadows but back there...I could have just kill him if I wanted too..." he smirked to himself which shocked the girl.

'Who is he...' she whispered to herself.

Upon hearing this a voice spoke up , "Well if it isn't Shichiro of the Yakuza clan...a fierce clan that thought to no longer exist of this world."

Yakuza turn his head to the left to see a man come out of the shadow who was wearing all black, his eyes showed clear blue.

"Kero-Kendo..." replied the man then turn to look at Mizuki ,he then step forward and said, "I have come here to ask you why... you involved the brothers of shadows..." he asked.

Mizuki smiled and said, "Because he was able to stop my best and noblest of my men...Nouhatsu and Kage-Suno."

The man closed his eyes and said "You will not kill Naruto-kun yet..."

The girl asked, "Why not" who only open up her fan once again.

He open his eyes, "Because I have to see him first before you can touch him..." he remarked at the girl.

"What if we touch him...what would you do..." asked the girl who was waiting for his reply.

"Then I will kill you..." as he said that he simply turns his back to the people who was in front of him.

"Mizuki...you can do as you wish to him...that's if he survives my test..." he began then walks away and simply exiting through the door. "Kaman...thank you now rest in piece..." that was the very last thing the man said. With that the dogged barked and started decaying and sunk back under the ground like nothing happen.

"What a weird ability...Mizuki-chan why did you let him escaped? "asked the girl

"Yuri-chan...you may not know who he is..." spoke the dark ninja who stared at the girl. "He is completely out of our league...no one in this place can fight him equally...he is even more powerful than the fierce kaguya-clan and even more powerful than the Uchiha Clan which possessed the sharingan." He finished.

"He is part of that horrible clan..." whispered Mizuki who closed his eyes then with a thought he said, "We'll let him do what he wants for now..."

The dark ninja disappeared and the blue female ninja just remained silent after what her sensei told her.

As the browned hair man finally walks out of that cave something caught his attention there sat a yellow-ninja who was resting his back against the caves wall.

"Hmm...Sasori...is that you..." question the man.

The ninja showed eyes of fire and look at the man then glance at the sky then stuck out his hand to see a small white bird land on his finger.

"Same as always..." replied the man who turn himself to ashes and disappeared once again.

The man watches the scene but didn't say anything. "Ya...ku...za....clan..." he only spoke up and continued playing with the bird that was on his hand.

Later...

One month has past after the incident with the Shadow ninja, Kage-Suno there stood a certain blonde training two particular kids in the training fields.

"Kage-Bunshin..." yelled a certain boy who only created only two clones.

"Good job Jeero you did it better than last time" exclaimed the blonde who was watching him do it again.

"Man this Kage-Bunshin stuff is real hard sensei..." remarked the brown haired boy who once again created two more clones.

"Well...it's good training for you guys...since it's going to get harder and harder" he said while scratching his head then taking a glance of his other student. "Your turn Kohona..." he asked.

The girl stood up and put her hands together "Kage-Bunshin no Jutsu..." she yelled then there where like 6 clones of her altogether.

Naruto smiled and sat down "Well...it's time for you guys to take a break."

Jeero felled on the ground who was out of breathe while Kohana sat down in indian style relaxing herself. "It uses so much chakra" remarked Jeero who was looking at his sensei.

Naruto just grinned.

"Hey sensei after we master this technique what other techniques are you going to teach us..." asked the pinked hair girl who spoke in a cute tone.

Naruto thought for a minute then he spoke up, "After you all master the Kage-Bunshin I'm going to show you a taijustu technique with it." He began while taking glances at his student.

"But here's a preview on what you'll be learning sometime..." he finish and stuck out his hand in front of them. Jeero quickly stood up and crawled where Kohona sat. Then chakra started coming out of Naruto's hand and started swirling until it form a ball.

"This technique is the Rasengan ... my signature and my most powerful technique..." he said while bragging about it.

Kohona was wide eyed on the technique while Jeero was amaze. "Hey hey sensei...when can we do that..." ask the boy.

The blonde stop the rasengan and said this is an A-Rank first class Jutsu level...which is way above any levels of technique...but I will teach you when you're all ready" he said with a smirk.

Kohana nobbed while Jeero fold his arms together then something caught his attention, "Hey sensei...What's that around your neck...it looks like a pendant" ask the young boy who pointed at it.

"Yeah Sensei whats that...I've always seen you where it but it never occurred to me", replied the Pink haired Girl.

Naruto chuckled to himself and took out the pendant that was around his neck and open it up. "Well, you see this thing brings back memories during the war..." he began and open the pendant revealing a picture at that he showed it too his two students.

There was a picture with five people on it there stood Naruto who look to be 17 years old with a grinning face, which was being head lock by a man with wild hair who was wearing a black vest and had a scar across his face. Then next to the left of Naruto was another man who was wearing a purplish-gi with a white head band and his hair was so spiky. He had his hand over the blonde's hair and mess it up.

There in the background there was a girl who was behind Naruto who showed a piece sign and at the same time sticking her tongue out in a cheerful way. She had long orange hair tied in a knot. She was wearing a head protector around her neck with the symbol of the stone country. She was wearing blue-white clothes.

In front of the group was someone sitting on the ground Indian style with a sword over his shoulder that was looking serious? He has wearing a white outfit, his hair was black and his eyes where sharingan.

"Hey Sensei...there's my brother" she spoke up in a cute tone. Jeero 'hmpt' himself and said, "Tsh big deal..."

"Yup...these guys's where like family..." he thought to himself and put away the pendant.

"Naruto-Kun" a shy voice spoke up; there stood Hinata walking towards the group.

"Hey Hinata-chan..."smiled the blonde.

Kohana got up and ran towards the young Hyuga. "Hi! Ms. Hinata...where's Sakura..." asked the pinked haired girl.

Hinata return the hugged and said, "Well she's in a mission with Kiba and Chouji" then she turn to face the blonde. "Naruto-Kun...5th Hokage wishes to see you in her office"

Naruto stood up and said, "Well I wonder what's up.

Meanwhile...

"Damn...I have to stop at the lighting country..." scolded a man. He was wearing a purplish color – gi with a white head band around his head with hair spiking up.

He was in a bar drinking some saki. "The stone country..." he said then places the bill on the table and stood up and pick up his back pack, "Time for me to get a move on" he whispered to himself and walk out the door.
