Hello Welcome to yet another bout of inspiration that made me right this because I have 0 impulse control when it comes to new ideas.
Premise: This story will take place 6 years after the Sasuke Retrieval Arc, After the First Chapter, Naruto Sick of the way the Village Treats he abandons the village, and Fakes his Death and Heads to Tetsu no Kuni (Land of Iron), and Becomes a Ghost, a Samurai with Ninja Training, but still works as a Ninja Sort Of. This will be NarutoxMaleHaku, Also Top Haku, and Bottom Naruto (because we dont get alot of Top Haku and Bottom Naruto). So Haku survives the Wave Arc. Also Naruto is Stronger than in Cannon before the Sasuke Retrieval Arc as Kakashi Trains him to honour Minato. Naruto WAS the Jinchuriki of Nine Tails, he is no longer. Instead of Ninja Arts Naruto will be using Ghost Arts and will have an Artificial Kekkei Genkai Called "Shadow Release" that All Ghosts Have. No Otsutsuki, so Akatsuki Goals are different, they still want to Tailed Beast but for a different Goal. Wanted to put this in here now, What Naruto is going to use: Kenjutsu - Twin Tanto's. Sealing Arts - Uzumaki Fuinjutsu. Elemental Release - Wind, Water, Shadow and Ice (but can only really be used with Haku, Think about Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow). Summoning - Kitsune (Fox Spirits) Contract. Ghost Arts - Basically Ninja Arts but for Ghosts they even have they own hand Seals Based off Numbers and are all One Handed Seals (Also Sharangan is unable to copy): ichi (one), ni (two), san (three), shi (four), go (five), roku (six), shichi (seven), hachi (eight), kyuu (nine), juu(ten), juu-ichi (eleven), Juu-ni (twelve). Example Ghost Art: Phantom Blade - Head Seal - Go, San, hachi, ni, San, and Juu.
Naruto will have an appearance Change because of Reasons.
Naruto is going to have a Darker Backstory because it is needed for him abandoning the Village.
Sasuke is going to play a Larger part in the story, he will still be going to Orochimaru, and training under him but Sasuke Refuses the Snake Contract as he wants his Clans Summoning contract the Nekomata Contract (Cat Spirits). Sakura is going to have almost 0 involvement in this story as she quits being a Ninja after Naruto's "Death". The Rookie 9 is now the Rookie 6 plus Team Gai, and they will all be stronger than in canon.
Also quite a Few Age changes because I need People to be Younger for something im doing for Sasuke. (Sorry if I call Haku a Girl I try to catch myself)
Small Lemon Warning in this Chapter.
So with all of this out of the way Hope you Enjoy "Ghost of the Kitsune".
Chapter 1 - Ghost's
Currently Rushing through the Trees Towards the Valley of the End, Towards Sasuke who has abandoned the Village for Orochimaru, Arriving at the Valley of the end he Sees Sasuke on the Head of Madara, Naruto on the Head of Hashirama, Sasuke begins to walk away but Naruto Calls out to him "SASUKE!" he shouts with a Powerful Boom in his voice getting the Raven Haired Avenge to turn and look at him.
"Hey Dumbass," Sasuke says to the Blond, "is it you this Time?" he pauses, to let his words sink in but Naruto's Face is unchanging, "I told Sakura this so… DON'T BOTHER ME ANYMORE!" he says with a Smile, But Naruto Laughs which confuses the Raven Haired Emo.
"I didn't come here to stop you," he tells him, "I need your Help" he tells him, before pausing for a few seconds "to Fake my Death, as I don't have any Katon Jutsu." This confuses him even more, "What?" the Emo Avenger asks. "Sasuke, I think of you as my Brother, and I have Since the Wave, but you know how im treated in the village, Abused, and Hated." he tells him, "and i'm just sick of it, so I'm going to Fake my death and I need your help to do so."
Sasuke doesn't know what to say on one hand, he understands where Naruto is coming from, but on the other he knew Naruto Loved the Village, he wanted to Lead it, "What Changed?" Sasuke Asked. Naruto jumps and lands next to Sasuke.
"After the Chunin Exams, I defeated Neji a so called Prodigy, Stop Gaara, Brought back Baachan for the Village and how was I treated for doing all of that, they said I cheat to be able to beat Neji, only a Demon could stop a Demon, Jiriaya did all the work to get her in the village and I was Turned down for Promotion all told I would Forever stuck as Genin because they cant Make a DEMON, anything but a Lowly Grunt. So I'm done, Screw the Leaf, it can Burn for all I care." he tells Sasuke, "Then come with me to Orochimaru, and…" Sasuke says but is cut off.
"I will never go to Orochimaru, he killed Hokage-Jiji, I just can't. But if you want to, I'm not going to stop you but I can help you, If you help me." he tells him, Looking suspicious Sasuke Asks "What can you do for me?" Naruto Smiles, "I can give you a Blood Contract, saying that If Orochimaru Trains you to be able to Beat and Kill your Brother, he can have your body after worlds but they is a loophole, it becomes Void on the Death of Either Person, So you could Kill him when he is no longer useful to you." Sasuke is Suprised this is so Well thought out by the Blond, He knows he is dumb, and is some what of a Prodigy when it comes to Fuinjutsu, so he believes he can pull it off. "Also Kill that Bastard Kabuto for me."
Sasuke smirked, Looks at him "Deal" they shake and Naruto hands him the Blood Contract that he already wrote up knowing he would accept. They then jump into the valley below as he watches Naruto Pull out a Bag of Blood run through some Hand Seals he can't copy with his Eyes and the Bag of Blood Explodes and Create a Naked Naruto. He then watches Naruto throw a Smoke pable down and as the smoke Clears the Naked Naruto is wearing Naruto clothes and Naruto is Wearing Civialing Travel Clothes.
"Right now Set him ablaze." Naruto says to Sasuke, Sasuke confused "what is that?" "that is a Blood Clone, a Kenjutsu Created by the Fourth to practise Seals on, but this is a Modified Version it's basically a Blank Canvas, it will last for 2 weeks before it is reduced to Blood. And before you ask no you can't have the jutsu,"
Sasuke just Shrugs and uses 'Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique' Insinuating the Clone, leaving a Charred Body. Naruto then places a Tag on Sasuke and one on himself, "that will last 8 hour, and no one will be able to track you with it on." he then holds out his Fist, "Good Luck Brother" Sasuke Looks at it before bumping it, "you too, Brother." before they part their ways.
After 10 Minutes of Running Naruto Stops and summons Gamakichi, "Gamakichi, I need your Help." he asks the Toad, "what is it Naruto?" he asks considers, "I need to summon Pa, but don't know how much Chakra I need to use." he tells the Toad, Gamakichi telling him and Naruto summons one of the Toad Sages.
"Jiraiya, my Boy I thought I told you not to summon me when i'm having my Dinner, Wait Naruto Boy is everything alright." he ask when he realises that Naruto summoned him, Naruto looks a bit sad, "Yes Pa, I want you to Void my Toad contract and if Jiraiya ask tell him telling him my Name is Greyed out." he tells Pa, him and Gamakichi is confused to why he is doing this. But before they can ask he tells them that he is Leaving Konoha and has Faked his death, telling them the reason behind it, and Both understand.
"I understand my boy, I will Keep your Secret. Be safe my boy." he tells him, Naruto Hugs Gamakichi, who is sad but understands, after a Tearful goodbye they un summon themselves and Naruto can feel the Contract leave him. Pushing down his emotions he Races of to the Location he is heading.
Konohagakure no Sato 6 hours later
Senju Tsunade is sat in her office Nara Shikamaru in front of her along with the sand sibling and Kakashi, giving the run down of the mission, the Choices he made as Team Leader, to getting back to the Village. But Tsunade is Barely Holding it together, it is then when Kakashi speaks up telling him what he found in the Valley of the End, already knowing the Answer and to what happened, Conformed by the currently Drunk Jiraiya.
Uzumaki Naruto, Jinchuriki of the Nine Tailed Fox is dead. The room goes silent Gaara staring out the window not believing that he is dead, no Refusing to believe that he is dead, because Naruto wouldn't Die like that. Shikamaru then Choices this time to speak up, remembering something Naruto said to him, "Naruto told me something before we left the village, that I thought was nonsense at the time." he says getting everyone's attention, "he told me he left Scroll, for people, like his Last Words he wanted people to know."
Signalling to her hidden anbu to head to his apartment to check, and a 10 minute late he arrives with a Bag off scrolls, the Anbu Speaks up, "they have Names on them Hokage-sama," he tells her, "give them too how they have the names on." She commands and he starts handing them out, Giving one to Her, Kakashi, Shikamaru, the Sand Siblings before Vanishing. Shikamaru pockets his for now, the same with Kakashi, Tsunade dismisses the group, as they leave outside of the office the Sand siblings open their scrolls.
Kankuro opens his and begins to Read.
Makeup boy,
Yes I know it's War paint, I know you're not expecting this but I wanted to write this to you. Please can you look after Gaara for me, because if you're reading this I'm dead, and I know Gaara won't be handling this right, but he has done so well since the Chunin Exams, and I don't want him to lose the Progress he has made. So Please watch out for him, Kankuro.
Uzumaki Naruto
Temari does the same,
Desert Flower,
Yes I know I'm a flirt in death, and I know you're not expecting this but I wanted to write this to you. Please can you look after your brothers for me, because if you're reading this I'm dead, and I know Gaara won't be handling this right, but he has done so well since the Chunin Exams, and I don't want him to lose the Progress he has made.

My Brother in Arms Gaara,
I know you wont believe I'm dead, but I am if you are reading this. I don't want you to regress back to where you were. I want you to move forward and become the Person I know you are, a Kind Hearted Leader. Also do the think I was never able to do with Fuzzball, become Friends with your Demon and maybe you can Make your home a better place for everyone.
Your First and Best Friend Uzumaki Naruto
They then Break down reading what Naruto Wrote to them, Inside the Office Tsunade looks at the scroll, Putting up the Privacy seals she slowly Unravels her scroll.
Baachan
When I first met you, I thought you were nothing but a Old Drunk stuck in the passed, but the more time I spent with you the more I realised that you were just hurting, you lost everyone you have ever love and here I am adding another name to that list, but you have to understand this is not your fault, I should have never became a Ninja in the first place, the Academy Savatarged me so bad by they time I got up to scratch I was still far behind, and the only way I could catch up was by using the Nine Tails. But Baachan you were the best thing to come to my life, and I saw you as my Mother Even though I would never tell you that, as I would be too scared to say it, but please don't be sad for too long. Remember you need to show me what being the Best Hokage is like, so please don't Drink too much, Keep Ero-Sannin on the right path. So Kaachan Please keep moving forward.
Your Son in everything but Blood.
Uzumaki Naruto
After finishing the letter she breaks down in a way she hasn't since her Brother and Lover Died.
12 Days Later Land Of Iron
During Naruto's Travels to The Land of Iron Whilst in the Land of Earth, he hears about his Funeral and how it was the Son of Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato, something that he Figured out years ago. It surprised him at first that no one else realised. He also hears that the Stone, Lightning, and Mist Sent their condolences, Losing the Last of the Main Branch Uzumaki Line and the Last of the Namikazes.
Arriving in the Land of Iron he does so at the worst time to do so, as is currently Blizzard Season and it oldy Clears up for about 3 hours on a Night so travelling he has to Travel on a Night, Using all of his Shinobi Training he was able to get to that of Setsuro (Snowy Wolf) the Capital of the Land of Iron Close to that of the Three Wolves Mountain Range.
When Naruto Arrives it is 3am and is stopped by the Samurai wanting to know what a Ninja is doing this far into the Tetsu no Kuni, and he tells them he wants to become a Ghost, this isn't surprising they expected this as it is the only reason that a Ninja would come thing Far in. They tell him that he needs to have his Chakra Seal and be placed in custody for 72 hours to make sure that there is no funny business, he agrees to this and is taken to the Holding Cells below the City.
Over the 72 Hours Naruto sits in the Cell, patiently as he wants to become a Ghost, through the 72 hours he notices in the shadows 3 people watching him in Shifts that change every 8 hours, Each have a Different mask on, One Dog Mask, one Cat mask and one Eagle mask.
At the end of the 72 hours. Naruto is led into a large Room, 4 Candle sticks in the centre of the room give a Dim Glow, Naruto is led in between them and forced to sit in the centre. Suddenly two other candles light at the other end of the room an Older man, Mifune of the Dancing Blade, a Legend of Kenjutsu User, Said to be stronger then the GoKages, Dressed in a Formal Green Kimono his Long Grey hair Flowing down his Back.
"I'm curious, what is a Dead Man doing sitting in front of me", Mifune asks in a Commanding tone that reminds him of Hiruzen, "I wish to become a Ghost." he answers confidently not missing a beat. "Tell me Uzumaki Naruto, Why should I? Why did you Fake your Death, and Why should I Accept you into the Ghost?"
"That is a Long Story, Do I have Promotion to tell it?" He asks, and Mifune Nods, and Naruto begins to tell his story about how he was Treated in the Village because of His Status, Feet Mouldy and Rotten food, and Beaten, Whilst he was at the Orphanage. Then Kicked out at the Age of 4 Told and told he was old enough to live on his own, how he spent Almost 2 Years Living on the Streets Running from the Villagers and Fearing for his life, Eating from Garbage Cans and Beaten when he was caught. Even Left for Dead a few times in the Forest of Death. Those in the Room can not Sense any Deception from the boy, some of them listen with Broken Hearts that the World could be this Cruel to a Child. He then tells them how he was found by the Hokage who gave him his own place to live, Clothes on his back and Non Rotten food. But then told them about how his house was Constantly Broken into ransacked and Destroyed, which happened for a few years till he started the Academy and it stopped when the Kage found out. He then tells him how he was Sabotaged in the Academy on how he only passed for capturing a traitor Leaving out the part that he was tricked. He then goes into his ninja Career and how he was treated Worse than he ever was as a Civilian, Kicked out of his Home as it was a Civilian Only Building, Refused entry into stores as they were Civilian only stores, Refused to accept Missions as people didn't want the "Demon" Working for them, Told them about the final Straw, the reason he faked his Death.
After he Finishes Explaining all of that, he then gets into why he Wants to be a Ghost, "I want a Fresh Start, ghosts are Anonymous, they are the Elite of the Elite if the Elite. And I think I could Offer something to the Ghosts." Naruto is finished and the room is Silent, Mifune was going to accept Naruto into the Ghost after he started his story but he wanted to make sure that he was right for them.
After a Few minutes of Silence, Mifune speaks up, "Uzumaki Naruto, i'm Ready to make my Decision."
Setsuro - Three Years Later
Mifune is currently Stood in Large Stone Carved Room, Candles litter the area, a Table with Weapons on Next to him and kneeling before him are two boys, The First looks about 17 With Long Black Hair with Tints of Blue in it Tied up into a Samurai Knot, Dressed in that of Samurai Sandals with White Leather suneate, Black Trousers, a Cloth Belt with a Rabbit Pin Buckle Clasp, a Black Kimono Top With White Leather Cuirass, with White Leather kote Bracers, a Crimson Choker around his Neck and a Rabbit Mask on his Face.
Sat Next to him is another Boy About 16 With Long Smooth Red Hair Tied up into a Samurai Knot, Similar to the boy Next to him In Samurai Sandals with Crimson Leather Suneate, Black Trousers, a Cloth Belt with a Fox Pin Buckle Clasp, a Black Kimono Top With Crimson Leather Cuirass, with Crimson Leather kote Bracers, a White Choker around his Neck and a Fox Mask on his Face.
Mifune Smiles at the two Boys, "U'sa Raise your Head," The One with Rabbit Mask does so, "three Years ago, you came to us after losing your way, and now I can say without a doubt you are the most compatiant Ghost we Have had the Honour of Training, You Mastered that of the 'Ghost Arts' almost faster then anyone who has Ever learnt them in that of 8 months, You Mastered that of 'Shadow Release' Slowly not use to the new kekkei Genkai, as you have 'Ice Release' Already, but I am Proud of you." Turning to Face the Table and he Reaches down and takes off the Table, two Katanas, Both in a White Sheath, with a White Rabbit Design on the Hilts of the Weapons, "Raise and take your Blade, Kosetsu(Snowfall) and Fubuki (Blizzards)." Doing So he takes to two Blades Placing them in his Cloth Belt Before Bowing to his Master.
Mifune then Turns to the Other Boy, "Kitsune, Raise your Head," The One witht the Fox Mask does so, "You also came to us Three Years ago, Wanting a Fresh Start, after a Life that would make most War Veterans think the Fights they have had as Playground tag, but you have Overcome Everything that has happened to you and Became Strong because of it. You Mastered The 'Ghost Arts' in only 6 Months, Setting a record beating the last one that was 20 months, and Even Created 4 Moves of your Own, you did take 18 Months Mastering 'Shadow Release' and the Last Year you Figured out how to Master "Wind and Water Release" and even how to use "Ice Release", and that is not including your other pursuits." Turning to the Table he takes a Set of Twin Tanto's that have a Crimson Sheath, and a Crimson Fox Design on the Hilts, "Raise and Take your Blades, Kitsune no ne (fox root) and Kitsune no hana (Fox Flower)." Raising, he places them in the back of his Cloth Belt before bowing.
Looking at they Master who is Smiling at them, "Kitsune and U'sa, for Now Return Home and as Tomorrow you will begin doing Official Missions as Ghost of Tetsu no Kuni, but for now Relax," he says to them, Before Commanding "Dismissed!" Both Drop to a Knee before Shadows engulf them and Vanish.
Kitsune and U'sa Reappear in that of a Locker Room Where they are Greeted by the 3 other Members of the 'Ghost's' First is a Short Girl With Short Black Hair done in a Bob, Dressed in the Same type of Cloths as Kitsuune and U'sa but with Brown Colouring and Mole Accessories, and a Mace on her Side "Congratulations, Naru-Kun and Haku-kun or should I be saying Kitsune and U'sa" She says, "Thank you, Kura-chan" Haku Says Taken off her Mask.
The Next to speak is a Older man Bold Head Dressed in the Same type of Cloths as Everyone Else but with Blue Colouring with a Shark Accessories, and a Cleaver on his Back, "Congrads," she says in a Deep Voice, "Thank you, Buro-san," Naruto Says taken off his mask before attaching it to his Hip, revealing that not only has his Hair Changed but also his loss of Whisker Marks and now Bright Purple Eyes but still has the same sun kissed skin.
The Final to Speak is is a Woman with Purple Hair done up in a Pineapple Style, Dressed in the Same type of Cloths as Everyone Else but with Purple Colouring with Snake Accessories, and a Blade that Looks like it is Segmented, she then Hugs Naruto Around his neck Pulling him in, "Congratulations you two Geki's," getting the other two to laugh, before Haku Pulls Naruto Free, "that's enough of that Anko-chan, Naru-Kun is mine" He says in a Stern Voice, Staring at the Purplette Before Naruto wraps his Arms around Haku, Pulling him in from behind, "that I am Haku-chan."
After a few more Laughs, and pouts from Anko and Haku, they uses the Shinobi Quick Change Method to change into they Off Duty Clothes, Both in Kimonos, Naruto's Loosely open to reveal that of a Kitsune tattoo on his chest and Hakus Fully Closed Hiding his body, they Depart with the other Ghosts, at that of a Dongo Stand Anko's Treat for them passing.
Sitting in the Stand with Dango and Red Bean Soup the quintet, they are talking and making merry, eventually Kura and Buro, Leave together. Getting Anko to make some comments as they Leave, getting them to both go a Shade of Red that would make Hinata Jealous.
Just Leaving Anko, Naruto and Haku at the Stand, Naruto with Haku in his Arms turns to Anko, "Thank you, Anko-chan." he says to the Older Women, who smile at him, "What for Geki?" she asks innocently. "For not Ratting me out to the Leaf," he tells her but she just waves him off, knowing how he was treated she is surprised at how long it took, a Boy Who could out Run and Hide Trained Anbu was nothing to scoff at.
"I was Wondering, Why did you leave?" He asks her before being fed More dango by Haku. Anko Pulls her Face at seeing how they act around each other, "You know in public, you two act like Haku is the Girlfriend in the Relationship, but I know what happens behind Closed doors as your Roommate." getting the two Teens to Blush. "But to answer your question, it was after the Second round of the Chunin Exams, I went to Fight Orochimaru and was Beaten badly. The Hate from the Villagers was at a All time High so I went to the Old Man and Asked to Retire, and promotion to leave to Find myself and he let me, I did want to come back when I heard about the Invasion but Mifune Talked me out of it, He reminded me a lot of the Old Man, so I chose to stay." she tells them and the Air Goes Quiet for a moment, Before Haku Talks.
"We should be getting back home as we have our First Missions in the Morning Naru-kun," She say as he stands up, with Naruto Following her, Anko whispers just Loud Enough for them to hear it, "Use Silencing seals" Not Even looking back they can Feel the sadistic Smile on her Face.
-Small Lemon-
Getting Home, they Closed all the Blinds in the Placed Silencing Seals and Lock Seals to Lock Anko out, Something she would find out hours Later and think of a way to get back at them but understand why they did it. They then head over to the Couch and Haku pushes him down Undoing Naruto's Kimono Revealing his Toned upper Body.
Haku Smiling as he takes off his Kimono Revealing his Feminine Swimmers Body a Tattoo on his Upper back of a Rabbit in mist, he straddles Naruto on the Couch Pulling his Head back and Bringing him in for a Deep and Passionate Kiss as Naruto goes to run his hands up Haku's Legs towards his Arse, Haku Slaps his hands way, Breaking from the Kiss for a Second to speak "No touchy" getting the red head to smirk, as he places his hands to his side. As Haku reconnects the Kiss this time he Bites Naruto Lip, who lets out a Small Moan.
After a Few Minutes Haku Grabs Naruto Hands and Places them on his Arse, Naruto squeezing the Ferm checks getting a Rise out of Him, Haku Breaks away from the Kiss and Slides down Slightly as he now getting a better look at his body, she pulls his Hair Back exposing his neck and starts Kissing down it Slowly.
Stopping at the Base of his Neck Letting go of his Hair Giving him a warm Smile, "Let's stop for Now for now, We have a Mission in tomorrow." he tells him giving him a quick peck on the lips before getting up and grabbing her top before heading to they bed Room. Naruto watches him as he goes to the bedroom, Swinging his hips.
-Lemon Scene Over-
Naruto Stands up Grabbing his Kimono, before heading to the Bedroom.
Following Morning
Kitsune and U'sa are Nelt behind Mifune is that of his Office that over looks the Three Wolves Mountain Range as he is currently looking out at it, "Kitsune and U'sa," he says to them without looking at them, in his commanding tune, "Today you will prove your worth to the Ghosts. There is a Bandit Camp Located 18 Miles North of the 'Setsuro', according to Eagle their Leaders are that of 5 Rogue Ninja from the Snow Village, they are rated all as Mid Chunin. Your Mission is to Capture the Ninja but kill the rest of the Bandits as we dont want them plaguing our land." he tells them, "Dismissed" and like that they are gone like they were never they.
18 Miles North of Setsuro
Kitsune and U'sa Left Immediately after receiving they mission, Ghost are trained to always carry a Weeks worth of Mission supplies on them at all times incase that are sent on a Mission outside of the Village, When Naruto First started Training in Setsuro, he always had to laugh The Samurai in the Village are treated more like how Ninja are treated in the Hidden Ninja Villages, Older more Experienced samurai Lead teams of New Samurai on Missions doing Odd Jobs such as Painting house getting Groceries, Walking Dogs, babysitting and anything under the sun, but Ghost are more like Anbu but more Hardcore as All Ghosts are Mid A to Low S Rank Ninja, the Best of the Best, Even new Ghost are More Low to Mid A Rank. Not only that, ghosts are sometimes Rented out to other Villages to Do Missions that would be classed as Morally Grey, as the Iron is Classed as True Neutral non of the Villages want to get on the bad Side, The Ghost are treated with Respect and they Identities are Classed as a S Rank Secret that No Ninja Village wants to know as If they do those who know it are normally Put to Death.
Travelling in mostly Silence Using 'Shadow Release: Shadow Movement' a Technique that Allows Ghost to move through some sort of Shadow Realm Moving through the Realm is Faster then Move on land because they are on obstacles, it is straight from Point A to B. a Normal 1 hour journey on Foot takes 10 Minutes in the Realm and Travelling 18 Miles using Shinobi Speed is normally depending on the Terrain up to 30 maybe 40 minutes so using Shadow Speed they can get there in a few minutes if that.
Arriving just outside of the Location they exit the Shadows, Kitsune and U'sa Stand looking down at the Camp, Extending his Senses, Kitsune Senses the 5 chunin Level Ninja and 50 Bandits. Telling U'sa, "What's the Plan Kitsune?" He asks him. Closing his Eyes he is quiet for a few minutes, before Opening them and Smiling under his Mask, "I'll Use 'Hiding in Mist Technique' and you create a Snow Storm, that should Force them into the Tents."
As they both Prepare their respective Moves, Naruto Creates a Thick Mist at blows in that Chills the Bones of those in the Camp as a Snow Storm Rolls in Forcing Everyone into they Tents even the Snow Ninja arent stupid Enough to stand in that of a Snow Storm. Kitsune Nods at U'sa and they Meld into the Shadows, Kitsune Going from Tent to Tent, Killing the Bandits as U'sa Heads to the Main Tent, Using her Senbon skill she is able to skillfully Put the 5 Snow shinobi in to a Death Like State. 2 Minutes that was all it took for the Newly Minted Ghosts to Finish their First Official Mission.
Placing the 5 Snow Shinobi in that of Prisoner Scrolls U'sa Hears the Sound of Fire Signalling that Kitsune his Burning the Camp to the Ground, she Sets Quickly Checks the Tent, Finding some Jutsu Scroll and Mission Orders from Orochimaru to Mess with that of the 'Setsuro' and the Samurai.
Kitsune Enters the Tent Seeing that U'sa has completed her part, "Head Back I'll Follow after Burning the Camp down," he tells him, as U'sa melds into the Shadows and Kitsune Starts to Weave Hand seals, (Go, Roku, Go, Kyuu, Ichi, Ni, Juu-Ni) 'Ghost Art Katon: Cold Finger Flame' on his Index Finger a Pale Blue Flame Appears and he Shoots it Multiple Flame around the Tent Setting things Ablaze that Burns with a Cold Heat, as the Tent Burns down Kitsune Enters the Shadows.
Setsuro Mifune Office
Mifunes office is located in that of the Largest Building in Setsuro, directly in the centre of the town the Building is that of A Castle (Google: Himeji Castle) built by the Akamatsu Family, during the Founding of Setsuro and the Samurai Order. His office itself overlooks the City, as he is currently doing Paper Work Normally the Bane of all Leaders, he has found a way to Delaget it, in such a Way that all he has to do is approve things, and 83% of the stuff that come over his desk he approves it's only the Last 17% he doesn't which is normally requests from High Ranking Civilians to try and get more say.
As he is taking a Break from his Work with a refreshing cup of Sencha tea, he notices a Large Candle in his room Flicker Twice, Placing his tea down he speaks with such a Commanding Voice, "Appear."
Out of the Shadows in front of him Kitsune and U'sa are on One knee Head Down, one Fist on the Floor, the other arm crossed over the chest, "Rise" he then commands seeing Kitsune and U'sa, they do and Stand at Attention, "Report". They both say "Hai" at the same time.
Kitsune Steps Forward, "Mission went off without a Hitch, We captured the 5 Snow Ninja and Eliminated the 50 Bandits with them." he says before stepping back. Having the Same Neutral but Commanding Face he Closes his Eyes and Nods, "Excellent," he says before opens his eye, "I have another Mission for you, Reports have 5 Leaf Anbu Chasing, 3 Rogue Ninja Close to our Borders, I want both of you to head to Samurai Bridge and If it is the Cut off Point into our country, If the Leaf Anbu Pass the Bridge I want you to Confront them and Get they Orders and the Other to Capture the Rogue Ninja. Then I want you to head to that of Twin Dragons Bounty Post with the Rogue Nin and Leaf Anbu, and then Wait for Further Instructions from the Commander there. Dismissed" he commands them and they Meld into the Shadows.
Samurai Bridge
It has been Almost 5 Days since Kitsune and U'sa Arrived at the Samurai Bridge, they Spent the Time Watching the Bridge Waiting to see if the Group of Rouge nin and Leaf Anbu Cross. During this time they have taken shifts and Reserved Word the Border Team that they have Entered Land of Iron and are slowly making their way here, but from what they can tell Either the Anbu Suck at Hunting or the Rouge Nin are extremely good At Hiding.
A Comment that Kitsune has made multiply times, it isn't till Mid day of the First Day why get something, as te to are currently eating Rations, Kitsune Stands up looking in a Direction of the Bridge, "they are coming," he tells U'sa, "the Rogue Nin have two Chinin Level Ninja I would say and the Third is Low Jonin. As for the Leaf Anbu…" Kitsune Pauses, smiling behind his mask, "Looks like they have gotten stronger, a lot stronger." he says.
"Who?" U'sa Ask curious, "the Leaf Anbu consist of Neko Aka Uzuki Yugao, Blade Mistress of Konoha, Bordering S Rank, Hound Aka Hatake Kakashi, Sharingan no Kakashi, Bordering S Rank, Hyuuga Hinata, Heiress of the Hyuuga Clan, Low to Mid A, Inuzuka Kiba, Heir to the Inuzuka Clan, High B to Low A Rank, Plus his Ninja Hound Akamaru Same Rank and the Fifth Member is Mid A, Feels like a Nara." he tells Him.
U'sa Looking at him trying to Gauge his Reaction, to can tell he is Calm like his is trained, "U'sa, the Moment the Three Rogues Cross the Bridge i'll go and Capture them, you confront the Anbu, and Confirm they Mission, then Meet me, If they don't have a Mission send them on they way if they Refuse Light a Flare." he Commands him, "Hai, Kitsune."
After a Few Minutes 3 Rouge Ninjas Rush over the Bridge, three Men all Dressed in Oto shinobi Gear. As they ran past Kitsune Heads after them. 10 minutes Later the 5 Leaf Anbu appear as they get close to the Bridge, Shadows Well in the Centre and U'sa appears Forth, The Anbu Stop. Hinata who has that of a Rabbit Mask on and Kiba Who has a Wolf Mask on along with Akamaru who also has a Wolf Mask on and Ninja Hound Armour get into a Fighting Stance but Neko holds her Arm out and shouts "Stand Down!" to them and they follow the Order.
She Steps Forward "I am Neko, we mean you no harm Ghost-Sama." she says, trying to defuse the situation. U'sa Speaks in a Voice that is heavily Modified, "If that were the case you would have Asked for Entry into the Land of Iron and Waited, not just rushed into this Neutral Land."
Responding Quickly "We are sorry but it was Time Sensitive and couldn't lose our Targets." Not backing down, he Commands them "Orders?" Neko Pulls out a Scroll from her Pouch and Slowly begins to walk Forward, She Gives him the Scroll, she then Moves back to her Squad as U'sa opens the Scroll Reading the Orders.
Throwing the Scroll Back, "Follow me" he tells them and rushes off into the Forest to follow Kitsune. They follow Slightly behind, as they start moving Kiba Speaks up, "Neko-Sensei, Who is Ghost?" he asks her. "Okami, it's not Who is, it's What is a Ghost." She tells him, then Kakashi Speaks up, "A Ghost is a Samurai with Ninja Training or a Ninja with Samurai Training, They are the Elite of the Elite of the Elite. Yes us Anbu are Elite but they are above us All Ghost's are Neutral, They Follow Orders Down to the Letter. All Master of their Respective arts." Kakashi tells Kiba and Hinata.
After 15 Minute they Reach their Destination, they have entered the Snowy Region of the Land of Iron, getting into a Opening in out of some woods. They See a Frozen Lake and Suspended in the Air wrapped in Icy Dragons are the Three Oto Nins and Sitting on a Large Rock is Kitsune, Tantos in hand. He gives off the aura of an Apex Predator.
The Leaf Anbu are shocked at what they see seeing the Oto Ninja and wonder how Strong Kitsune is seeing that they Wrapped in Ice they wonder if he is a Yuki. he then Hits them With a Massive Blast of KI, to test them, U'sa Immune, Kiba, Akamaru, Hinata and the 5th Member Barely Stand they ground. The Ki Vanishes and Kitsune Looks at U'sa, and She just Nods.
"U'sa, Take the Anbu to Twin Dragons Bounty Post, I'll Meet you they with the Prisoners." he tells him, "Hai, Kitsune", he then turns to the Anbu, "Follow" before Jumping off getting them to follow, Kakashi Looks at Kitsune for a bit longer before leaving.
Twin Dragons Bounty Post
Travelling at Normal Ninja Speed it takes them 40 minutes to get there, they Travel in Silents, and it's not because they don't want to talk it's more out of Professionalism.
Arriving at the Small Fort that is the Twin Dragons Bounty Post they are let through by the Samurai that Guard the Post, entering the Stone Brick interior of the Fort they are greeted by Kitsune and a Older looking Samurai, who is in his Mid 40's Long Black Hair that is Starting to Grey, Onyx Samurai Armour with a red crest on his chest of that of Twin Dragons, he Looks over the Leaf Anbu the man Wearing a Stern Look on his Face.
He Speaks with a Gritted Tone, "Shinobi-Sans. What do I own this Unauthorised Viste In my Lands?" he asked, No Demanding an Answer. Neko Steps Forward, "My Apologies, Commander Byakko. We wore Hunting Three Oto Ninja. We have our Orders here." She says and hands the Man called Byakko the Scroll, Who Reads over it before Looking at Kitsune and U'sa, "Retrieve they Targets." They Both Bow to the man, "Hai, Commander-Sama!" they say in unison. Before Vanishing into the Shadows.
Giving the Scroll back to the Anbu, they Return with two out of the Three Prisoners. Kakashi Pulls his Face under his mask, knowing that they are only getting the Prisoners that they mission Specified. Cursing in his mind, since they really need the Third Prisoner. They get the two Chunin Level Ninja. "Here are your Targets," he tells them as they are handed over. "Now Leave, before you are Thrown in Jail yourself for Trespassing." he says and goes to turn to leave before Neku Speaks up. "Will all do respect, We would like the Third Prisoner as well." she says to the man who turns back and looks at her, "Anbu Neko, I didn't have to give you those two. Since OUR Ghost Captured them, they BELONG to us, i'm doing this out of cooperation to keep the peace between our Lands. Next Time I won't." he says before Turning but before Walking away he speaks up once again, "Kitsune, U'sa, Hebi, Moru, and Shark". Three other Ghost appear, "Escort the Leaf Anbu out of our lands then report back." he commands getting a Collective "Hai, Commander-Sama!" for they 5 Ghosts.
8 Hours Later After Travelling Shinobi Speed to the Border with the Leaf Anbu and the Prisoners they Travel back using Ghost Speed and get back in less then a Hour as Commander Byakko is doing paperwork in his office Cursing Mifune and he Delegation Skills, he sees a Candle Flicker Twice on his Desk, he puts his pen down Looks up and Speaks, "Raise" and out of the Shadows the 5 Ghost Appear, "Shark Report."
Shark Stands "Hai, Commander." he says with Respect, "the Leaf Nin Made it to the border with 0 Incidences." he tells him before Kneeling back down, "Kitsune and U'sa, Report back to Setsuro, as for Hebi, Moru, and Shark, Return to your posts." he commands getting a Collective "Hai, Commander-Sama!" for the 5 Ghosts.
Setsuro
Upon returning to Setsuro and giving the Debriefing to Mifune they are told that they have a Week off and they both Excited for that, heading to the squad rooms, they Both Drop on the one Sofa in the room, letting out a Sigh that feels like they have held it in for Almost a Week.
Naruto Looks around the Squad room, he has gotten used to this place over the 3 year, it isn't a Huge Room, about 20ft by 20ft by 10ft on the North Wall is a Steel Double Door, on the South Wall is Lockers and Equipment Storage on the West all is that off a Small Kitchen and Dining table that can hold 5 people and on the East Side of the room is Small Gathering Area 2 Sofas and 3 chairs around that of a Coffee Table.
Currently Naruto and Haku are Sat on one of the Sofas, Naruto has his Arm around Haku whilst he is cuddling into his side. Both Close their Eyes relaxing, After a few Minutes the Door to the Room opens up, Entering is a Women with Stunning Red Hair Tied into two Buns on the Side of her Head, Dressed in an elegant japanese winter dress with Fur Boots.
She has Faint Makeup on that Highlight her Lips and Eyes, two Paper Earrings with the Uzumaki Swirl on, Seeing her Naruto Smile at her, "Lady Shiraga-Sensei, What do we owe the visit?" he asks her.
Giving him a Smile, "Naruto-sama, I've come to see you." she says to him, "I wish you wouldn't call me Sama, Naruto is just fine, I may be Royal blood Uzumaki, but Family should call Family things like that." he tells the Older Uzumaki, getting her to Chuckle into her hand.
"Regardless, Naruto-sama, I've heard from my Husband that you have a Week off Which means More Fuinjutsu Training. Meet me at my Home Tomorrow at 2pm, for Training." she tells him, giving him something to spend with his Boyfriend, since they have just gotten back from a Week long Mission it's only Fair. "Hai, Sensei." Giving her a Smile. As she Leaves them to themselves.
Land of Sound - Otogakure
Otogakure once many Labs and Bases Scattered around the Land of Sound formally known as Land of Rice Fields, Now Once Giant Underground Lab and Base Hidden underneath the Former Capital of Tanbo. Since the "Death" of One Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto, and the Betrayal of Uchiha Sasuke, the Leaf has Cracked down on Hunting Orochimaru and One Uchiha Sasuke to Attune for they Crimes, the Rest of the Elemental Nations followed the Lead of the Leaf, and started to Hunt the Sannin for his crimes.
This Annoyed the Hell out of Orochimaru, Mainly because his Bases were getting Destroyed and he was loosing research, but at the same time he was happy having everything under one roof, but still annoyed that its harder to currently find more Kekkei Genkais to have under his control. But one good thing has come out of this Sasuke is getting far stronger than he believed he ever would have travelling with the Sannin, Using Sasuke to get rid of his more Defective Experiments.
Sasuke's Training he found amazing to Watch, Sasuke ended up Mastering in Three Years, he Sharingan, and Even the Evolved Stage the Mangekyo, which Orochimaru Believe he got after Killing his Best Friend Naruto, but no that wasn't the Case he Didn't Fall into the 'Curse of Hatred', but he 'Blessing of Love' after Helping Naruto out Escape a Fate Worse than Death in his mind the 'Blessing of Love' applied and he evolved his eye into something more Powerful than the Average Sharingan. Sasuke also has Mastered Lightning Release Completely Evolving the Chidori further than Kakashi ever could to the point it uses 0 hand Seals and can be shaped into any form he needs it. He went onto Master fire Release, as well as Wind Release, he even Convinced Orochimaru to allow him to look for that of the Uchiha Summoning Contract that of the 'Nekomata Contract' one of the Mythic Contracts aside of the 'Kitsune Contract', He Also Mastered the Neko Sword Fighting Style of 'Kyattsukuro' that Use that of a Katana with Speed over Strength. Sasuke Also Found a way to Destroy Orochimaru's Soul in his Curse seal without him finding out, he thanks the Nekomata for that.
But right now Orochimaru is bed Ridden after an intense Spar with Sasuke that lasted 4 hours his body is currently wrecked and Kabuto is currently doing his best to find a way to break the Blood Contract that Orochimaru signed with Sasuke but it is Iron Clad and Orochimaru is regretting signing it, as Itachi hasn't been seen in 3 years, Since the "Death" of The Uzumaki. More likely than not the Akatsuki are waiting for the Nine Tails to Reform Knowing that will take 9 years, so another 6 Years till he appears.
But Right now in a Room Lit by a Single candle, 5 Shinobis are currently Planning, the First Uchiha Sasuke, Sharingan a Blaze with Power, Next to him is a Women that looks about 18, With red lipstick, fair skin, dark eyes and light blue hair which she keeps in a spiky ponytail with long strands of hair framing her face Dressed a teal short kimono with a grey turtleneck and short sleeves with a jade-green rope belt around her waist, and red baggy Trousers, light purple wrist bands and navy blue sandals. This is Guren, a Crystal Release from Kiri. Next to her is a Red Haired Girl with Red Glasses this Uzumaki Karin, Next to her is a White Haired Boy with Spiky Teeth and a Large Cleaver Like Sword on his back, this is Suigetsu. Next to him and Sasuke is a Orange haired boy, Jugo who is Unstable at times only Sasuke and Guren can control him.
Sasuke Looks over everyone with his Neutral Face, "Are We Ready?" he asks getting a Nod off everyone, "good, but im going over the plan one more time" he says looking at Suigetsu, who just growls, "Jugo and Suigetsu you job is to kill Every one of the Sound Nin, Karin you are to Rescue Yukimaru, Guren you are to kill that Creep Kabuto and i'll Kill Orochimaru." he Finishes and they all look at him before nodding again, "Right, One I enter Orochimaru's Room. Start the Plan."
2 Hours Later
Sasuke walking out of the the Ruins of Former Capital of Tanbo, Black Flame Burning the City to the Ground, his Mangekyo Glowing as its power Surges, he sees his Team Waiting for him, Guren Holding that of the Sleeping Yukimaru in her arms, Suigetsu Cleaning his Cleaver, Karin sat hugging her legs, and Jugo playing with a two Tailed cat keeping him calm.
Sasuke looks his team over they all look he sees Yukimaru the 5 year old Boy that become like a Son to that of Guren and to Sasuke as well, he Smiles at Guren the Girl he Couldn't Stand 3 years ago they constantly buttend heads but then got leaf together for 3 weeks and ended up, getting extremely Close.
Sasuke then looks at the Cat and speaks "Raion," the Cat looks at him, "I need you to deliver a Message for me." The Cat gets up from Jugo and Strolls over to Sasuke, and Rubs around his leg, Sasuke Picking him up, "Who Too, Sasuke-Sama?" the Cat asks with a Pur in its voice, "My Friend and Brother, Uzumaki Naruto."
The Group Look at him Extremely confused and Guren Stutters out, "Naruto? Didn't you Kill him?" This gets Sasuke to shake his head as he seals a Scroll in the Collar of Raion, "the Idiot, Wanted help Faking his Death so I help him." Sasuke says with a Smile.
Setsuro - Three Wolves Ramen Stand
Three Wolves Ramen Stand the only Ramen Stand in all of Setsuro, Ran by Uzumaki Kakuni, Son of Lady Shiraga and Mifune. Uzumaki Kakuni is the Youngest Son of the two, Kakuni is in his late 20's, he has Smooth Shoulder length Hair normally Tied up in a Bun, he wears a Standard Chef outfit, with the Uzumaki swirl on his Hat.

The three of them Talking and just having a Fun time, that is till a Poof of Smoke goes off and appearing on Naruto's lap is that of a Two Tailed Cat, Naruto confused, he looks at the cat and Meows at it.
That got Haku and Kakuni to Shake their heads at the Boy, "Hello, Naruto-sama, I'm Raion, I'm the Summon from the Nekomata Clan, I'm here on the behalf of my Summoner Uchiha Sasuke. He has a Message for you." Naruto Nods at the Neko, "Orochimaru and Kabuto are Dead."
End of Chapter One
Authors Notes:
So that was a Fun Chapter to Write, this FanFic is a Different type of Fanfic than i'm used to writing, and that is because im going to be jumping around from Naruto to Sasuke to the Leaf (Eventually Maybe some in the next chapter I don't know.) and they is a Reason I Skipped all the Combat in this chapter, the First Chapter is all about World Building I wanted to Set the Scene and Introduce the Characters and changes.
Now I wanted to tell you why I made some of the Changes I made:
Ages: Normally I always Write my Characters at if they are 16+ so If I wanted to do something like a Lemon its not two 12 to 14 years olds doing it and that is also the Age I started my Sexual Advanture in my life so it feels more natural.
Haku and Naruto: I'm going to get into how Haku Survived in Later Chapters, but the Reason I Chose Haku to Live, Originally because I wanted a Love interest for Naruto but it because something different as I started Rewriting this Story and Making more and more notes, Originally this Story was about Naruto getting Banished from the Leaf after Bringing Sasuke back, but going over my Notes I made and Talking to Friends and other Fanfic Writers I changed it to make Naruto Fake his Death. As for the Relationship between Naruto and Haku, I wanted a more Dominant Haku. He knows what he Wants and What he Wants is that of the Former Blond. Also In my Notes I have that Naruto is Bi, along with Haku but he prefers men over women. Another Reason I chose NarutoxHaku is because he does say that Haku is Prettier than Sakura.
Anko: In Cannon Anko is a Die Hard Leaf Shinobi, Loyal to the Leaf over Everything, but I wanted to use the Character in this Fic and in my Original drafts I had Anko as a Ghost she was Still a Konoha Ninja on that of a Training Scheme to promote Cooperation between the Nations, but now I've changed that and the Ghosts are Different.
Guren and Yukimaru: Mainly wanted to use them in the story. I need something for Sasuke to not go down a Darker Path and Karin wouldn't cut it, so I chose Guren as she is strong and a character that knows what she wants, and Yukimaru, well a son would Ground him.
I think that's Everything for now So Until Next Time
