'NOW!'

"Kai!" yelled Naruto. Immediately, he burst out of the earth and dashed towards the tower. Releasing the ketsueki bunshins, he felt Kyuubi's consciousness return to the seal. 'What happened?'

'I knew the snake could sense my energy, so I lead him away from the tower, had a small skirmish with him and disappeared just as he was about to finish off the clone. Hahaha! Stupid old snake. Now, concentrate on getting to the tower. My battle with the snake should have drained you of almost all your energy but your Ketsueki Sattou has improved immensely. You should feel like you've been training all day but you will be fine in an hour.'

'But what will I tell Sakura-chan and Sasuke? I know my kage bunshin was destroyed.'

'Doesn't matter now. Make it to the tower and we'll be safe. If that treacherous snake catches us again, we won't be able to escape again.'

'Right.'

Meanwhile, Sasuke and Sakura have arrived at the tower and walked in. Seeing the poem on the wall, Sakura deduced the meaning and they opened their scrolls together. With a poof, Iruka appeared. "Congratula—" he started to say, when he noticed the absence of the boisterous blonde. "Where's Naruto! Is he injured? Tell me!" yelled a frantic Iruka.

"Iruka-Sensei, we were attacked by what I believe was a missing nin. In the excape, Naruto covered us with a mass Kage Bunshin Henge combo. However, we soon found that the Naruto that was with us was a clone. We haven't found him since." Answered Sasuke.

"I hope he's alright." Said Sakura.

"You have to tell the entire situation to Sandaime-sama! Come with me!" said Iruka, as he sped off through the corridors of the tower. As they reached the end of the last corridor, there was a large double door with two chuunins standing guard. "What is it Iruka?" called one of them.

"A missing nin attacked team 7, Naruto is missing in action. Sandaime-sama must be notified." Replied Iruka.

"Right." Said the other chuunin as they opened the door. Iruka and what remained of team 7 ran in. Sandaime was sitting on a couch with Anko discussing something as they burst in. They both looked at the chuunin and 2 genins.

Seeing their questioning look, Sasuke said, "We were attacked by a single grass nin, but he was immensely strong! His killing intent… It froze all of us. He's at least jounin level!"

Immediately, Sandaime asked, "did he look like this?" as he held up a photo of a grass nin.

"Yes! That's him!" yelled Sakura.

"Shit!" exclaimed Sandaime. "Anko, take an ANBU squad out and look for HIM. Now! Sasuke, tell me every detail of the encounter."


Back with Naruto, he was dashing through the trees as fast as he could. 'Shit! He's coming…'

"…and we ran to the tower for reinforcements and here we are." Finished Sasuke.

"Hmm…Sasuke, I have to tell you this as it concerns you." Started Sandaime. "Sakura, Iruka, could you please go outside, this is something between Sasuke and I."

"Hai, Sandaime-sama," they replied.

As the left, Sasuke looked at the hokage with a near emotionless face. "Your brother" At this, Sasuke tensed and a look of intense hatred on his face. "was not responsible for the Uchiha Massacre."

"What!" yelled Sasuke, incredulous. "Do not lie to me Sandaime-sama. I saw him. Only he can use the Mangekyou Sharingan. I experienced it firsthand."

"No." replied Sandaime. "That was not the mangekyou sharingan. That was a forbidden genjutsu. It could be broken by those who are skilled enough. It is similar to the mangekyou sharingan in that it creates a world of its own however, the real mangekyou sharingan puts your enemy into a coma and their mind wanders in a genjutsu created world that they cannot escape from. It does not mess with your mind."

"How do you know all this? The mangekyou sharingan was one of the clan's best kept secret…"

"I am the hokage after all. Beyond that, I can say no more. As for why your brother disappeared, he went for revenge against the true enemy. Orochimaru. The same man who attacked you today. Your brother went down a dark path, allying with missing nins as bad as Orochimaru for power. I did not want you to do the same. That is why I had to keep this a secret. But now that Orochimaru is here for you, you must not be tempted by his promise of power. You also must not seek to destroy him until you know you are ready. You are rational, Sasuke. Do not let your anger cloud your judgement."

Sasuke stared at the old man in front of him. As he thought about this new information, the Sandaime left him alone to think.


Jutsu:

Ketsueki Bunshin no Jutsu Blood Replication Skill

Original jutsu for the chosen of the blood. It can make up to 3 clones max. Each clone takes a minimum of a quarter of Naruto's blood. They can all do only blood jutsus, no normal ones. Then can morph into any shape. Its healing capabilities surpass even Naruto's real body. It's really weak against chakra attacks and takes five times the chakra to maintain one as it does to maintain a Kage Bunshin.

Ketsueki Sattou Blood Rush

An original jutsu I created specifically for the Chosen of the Blood. It allows the user to increase the rate of blood creation in the body. Basic for the blood jutsus, since they all use blood. Once a chosen has enough practice, the Ketsueki Sattou jutsu effect will be permanently at triple speed. It can still be further increased though.

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu Shadow Replication Skill

Recreates the user as many times as he wants, provided he uses the needed amount of chakra. The chakra in the body is divided equally so it is a very tiring skill but it is good enough to fool advanced eyes like the Byakugan. These clones can use the chakra in them to use jutsus (I think they should be able to so I will make them so)

Mangekyou Sharingan Kaleidoscope sharingan

Advanced genjutsu technique used by Sharingan users. Puts the person it's used on into an alternate world of their own. Their body will go into a coma while their mind is trapped.
