"The snow-nin have arrived." An A.N.B.U. reported to Naruto. The sand requested that we help them fend the other side of the bridge. What will we do, will I send a team to aid them?"

"Of course, send all five A.N.B.U. teams, we can handle this side with the snow" Naruto said.

The A.N.B.U. told his comrades, made a few preparations and they were off. Just within the minute, they weren't visible because of the recent development of a heavy fog.

"What is it Akamaru?" Kiba said to his dog. Akamaru was barking at the snow Nin. Kiba noticed that the snow were still in their coats, even though it was in he middle of April. He went up to Naruto.

"I think something is wrong here, Naruto. Those nin from snow country seem suspicious to me. I sense powerful chakra from that one with a cloth on his eyes."

"You think so too? I have a bad feeling about this. Call Neji; have him use the Byako..." Naruto was cut off by a kunai thrown at Kiba, as leader he instinctively pulled Kiba down to the ground.

"You were right; I hope lee and neji noticed too." Naruto whispered. He performed a few seals and produced a few shadow clones. When he jumped up, he saw that Neji was already taking on two opponents, Lee also with two, Kiba and Akamaru taking it out with 3 ninjas. Judging from the enemy's movements, they were sound nin. That left him with the blindfolded ninja. He somehow recognizes that posture, he just couldn't put where. This thought gave the enemy an opening. Naruto recognized the last seal the enemy made; it was tiger, meaning a fire technique. He evaded the jutsu.

He recognized the technique to be Great Fireball. His opponent hid behind a big rock. As a shadow clone approached the rock, with a kunai in his hand. The enemy thought that Naruto was the real one so he used a powerful flame technique. Naruto realized this was a good opportunity to use the Rasengan. He rushed towards his opponent. He was just 5 meters from his opponent when he saw that familiar sound, the sound of a thousand birds chirping, that bluish light, sparks flying from his opponent's hand. He looked up to the enemy's eyes. Those red eyes with 3 black dots.

It was … Uchiha Sasuke!
