It has been more a month since Ryo has had Naruto training with quick white foxes. Naruto's lying down on the ground taking a break. Looking to the foxes, Naruto stands up again, ready to begin. Shiroi, disappears in a blur and Naruto still can't see where she went. He guesses that she hid behind the huge boulder and gets it wrong. Howaito spits a ball of electricity at Naruto. But instead of the usual of getting hit, Naruto becomes quick enough to dodge it. His eyes can now follow the ball's lightning speed and his body is able to anticipate his movements better.

"Stop!" Ryo orders the fox. "Now, guess where Shiroi's hiding."

Naruto turns his eyes at Shiroi who disappears in a blur. This time Naruto is able to follow the blur with his eyes. It feels as if Shiroi (who still looks like a blur) is moving in slow motion.

"Behind the tree on the left." Naruto points out.

Shiroi pops out from the tree and walks toward Ryo.

"I- I DID IT!" Naruto jumps.

"Now you're ready for the next step."

Ryo takes Naruto deeper into the forest where it's congested with trees.

"The exercise I made you do earlier was to make this next technique easier. Now watch me as I go to the end of the forest and back." Ryo makes sure that Naruto is watching.

Naruto observes his uncle do a couple of seals, throw a kunai, thenwinks at him. Suddenly, Ryo disappears and a kunai flies back towards Naruto. Out of the kunai, Ryo reappears. Naruto stands there in shock as Ryo travels in a flash. Ryo hits five trees with a tagged kunai. In a sudden flash, Naruto sees the trees being marked with a long slash, by a flash. Ryo returns to Naruto's side and brushes his long black cloak.

"This technique is called Hiraishin no jutsu. It can only be done by 3 people, including you. Now, I want you to do what I just did. After you form the seals (Ryo shows him the seals) I want you to gather chakra and distribute it evenly throughout your body." Ryo pulls out an odd shaped, tagged kunai, "These kunais are different from your usual one. They're sort of like magnets that grab your body once you release and distribute chakra correctly."

Naruto forms the seals needed to do the jutsu, throws a kunai, releases a huge amount of chakra and distributes it throughout his body. He stares at the kunai he just threw and he feels his body being sucked forward. Out of the blue, Naruto is appearing out of the kunai and is rapidly heading towards a tree. Everything was happening too quickly andsmacks his face into the tree.

"OUCH!" Naruto grabs his face as he experiences an extreme amount of pain.

Ryo approaches him, and helps him get up.

"There's a reason why I made you train with the foxes. Use what you learned."

"It was my first try. I didn't know what to expect." Naruto justifies his failure.

Naruto is standing toe to toe against the 4th Hokage, surrounded with a purple barrier. He sees Orochimaru from the corner of his eye and throws a kunai in his direction, ready to attack him at lightning speed. But as he gets closer to the snake-like figure, Yondaime intercepts him and punches him in the head. Naruto flies back but is able to land on his feet. Naruto and the Yondaime both draw out blood from their thumbs, form seals, and slam their hands to the ground.

"Kuchiyose no jutsu!" They both scream.

A cloud of smoke covers the area as two huge frogs with armors become visible. Naruto jumps on the head of the orange colored frog and Yondaime places himself on the yellow frog. The frogs charge towards each other and Naruto forms seals.

"Doton: Yumi numa!" Naruto shouts.

A big puddle of swamp abruptly stops the yellow frog. Naruto's frog blows out a fountain of oilat the Yondaime's direction followed by an explosive tag. As the cloud from the explosion clears, Naruto finds himself being monstrously kicked by the 4th.

"Shit! Not only is he fast, but he hits so damn hard." Naruto thinks as he grimaces from the hit.

The 4th flashes his way to Naruto to hit him again but Naruto escapes by using Shunshin no jutsu. While on air, Naruto pops out of the kunai, grabs the weapon and throws it back in the direction of the Yondaime. He was able to land a quick jab at the Yondaime and sends him falling from the frog. The yellow frog drowns in the swamp,while the orange frog snaps his tongue at the Yondaime and wraps his tongue around the Hokage. As the Yondaime becomes more constricted, his body disappears in a flash of lightning, which sends electricity through the frog and disappears in a puff. Naruto looks around and searches for the Yondaime, who is nowhere in sight. Yondaime hits Naruto from behind, who falls to his knees. Naruto sees the Yondaime do a couple of seals and he feels the ground below him rumble. Suddenly, the soil forms into a column, hitting Naruto square in the stomach, and causing him to cough up blood. The column quickly retracts and Naruto falls on his stomach. Slowly getting up, Naruto throws 5 shurikens at the 4th.

"Shuriken, taju kage bunshin no jutsu!"

Knowing that the Yondaime would avoid getting hits from the shurikens, Naruto transforms the weapons into multiple figure of himself and punch their way to the Yondaime.

"Hari jizo!" The Yondaime yells.

The 4th's spiky hair becomes longer and covers his body with it. As Naruto's kage bunshins make contact with his shield, they disappear in wisps of clouds. Naruto body flickers his way to Yondaime and places a punch on his chest. The Yondaime, prepared for the attack, forms a rasengan, dodges Naruto, and hits him with the rasengan. Naruto is forced back 20 feet—almost hitting the purple wall. Still holding a rasengan, Naruto sees the Yondaime in the middle of the field, waiting for Naruto. Pulling out a kunai, Naruto throws the weapon and teleports his way to Yondaime. He pulls out an odama rasengan, which makes contact with the 4th's rasengan. When the two techniques collide, a huge explosion erupts sending everyone in the field back a couple of feet and disables the purple barrier. Naruto slowly stands up but the 4th grabs him by the shoulder. An intense pain hits through Naruto's hands and it slowly travels through his arms. As the pain is making its way to his shoulders, Naruto sees a transparent demonic figure behind the 4th. Naruto, with no choice, taps into the kyuubi power. Even with one kyuubi tail, Naruto can't free himself from the 4th and a 2nd tail forms. But before forming the 2nd tail, Yondaime drops Naruto and a sealed tag lands on Naruto's head.

"Naruto, you okay?" Jiraiya runs to Naruto's side.

"What did you do?" Naruto asks while in a daze.

"I disabled Orochimaru's technique."

Naruto looks up to find the 4th with a kind smile. He steps closer to Naruto, who still has the same intense facial expression.

"You're an amazing fighter. I'm sorry that we had to meet like this." Yondaime switches his gaze from Naruto to Jiraiya. "Sensei."

Knowing he's doomed, Yondaime body flickers, grabs one of the sound 4 nin, Ari, and allows the demon god to retrieve both of their souls. The Yondaime dies and his body melts, revealing a deceased Mist ninja inside.

Kakashi returned to the battlefield, while Naruto fights the 4th. Along with Neji, they face off against Kabuto and Sai. The medic shinobi forms a chakra scalpel (shosen jutsu) in his hands and proceeds to attack Kakashi. He hits Kakashi, who turns out to be a kage bunshin. Kakashi hits Kabuto with 2 shurikens in the arm. Kabuto quickly heals himself and charges towards Kakashi, who dodges his attacks and punches him in the face. Kabuto growls in anger as he lunges at Kakashi and grazes his left arm. Kakashi feels his arm go limp as he continues to avoid Kabuto's punches.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto and Jiraiya are now facing off against Orochimaru and Sasuke. Sasuke's appearance has not drastically change. He has longer hair (that reaches his shoulders) with the upper half of his hair tied up to keep his bangs out of his eyes. But his face, has the same brooding expression. His clothing consists of a grey robe to complement Orochimaru's appearance.

"Sasuke, you bastard. How can you associate yourself with this creepy snake?"

Sasuke merely scoffs and activates his seal. A pair of hand looking wings appear from his back and smirks at his rival. He charges at Naruto with a chidori at hand and Naruto lunges at him with a kunai at hand.
