After leaving the meeting room Naruto, Gale and Yukio make their way back to The Uzumaki Compound. As soon as they step inside they're met by Karin and Tayuya. As they all sit around a table Tayuya is surprised she's included, but when she asked he says it's an "Uzumaki matter, Yukio's here because at the moment he's my ANBU Commander."

Naruto starts to speak, "OK the plan is simple Karin you use your sensor skills to locate this Root base. When Karin has found it, we go in and kill anyone we see. Danzo was behind the destruction of our Clan and Village. Now it's high time he realized he made the biggest mistake of his life," At this Naruto stood up drawing his sword as he did, "My family and clansmen, Danzo's life ends today Root ends today! Why Jiji allowed Root to remain is beyond me but he's meddled in our Clan's affairs long enough."

Honoka then speaks "What about Konoha? We're going to be killing members of their village plus one of the Hokage's advisers."

Naruto smirks as he sits back down, "They better stay out of our way. If any of them attack, restrain them or knock them unconscious do not kill or harm any of them any more than you have to. The only blood spilled today is Root's and Danzo's. Leave that bastard for me and me alone," Naruto ordered with a death's head grin, "he's mine."

Tayuya displays a tight and grim smile as she speaks up, "Fuck yeah, I really need a good fight but I'm kind of useless without my flute," she confesses.

Honoka looks confused at that statement, "You fight with a flute Tayuya-Chan?"

Tayuya nods as she answers, "I used it to summon demons."

Just then there's a knock at the door so they all stay quiet. Naruto heads to the door and opens the door and sees Anko and Yūgao Naruto looks at them "Can I help you two?"

Yūgao smiles, "Yes Naruto-san, here's Tayuya's personal affects. Well, actually a flute and a few trinkets. Lady Tsunade requested that I deliver them as soon as the paperwork cleared."

Naruto nods and takes the flute, "Thank you Yūgao-Chan but why did it take you both to come?"

Anko grins, "Oh I was just in the area."

Naruto raises an eyebrow "I see, are you sure that your trip here isn't related to a certain ANBU Commander?" The Uzukage teased his future citizen and academy instructor. Anko said nothing as her red face spoke volumes. Shrugging his shoulders Naruto bowed deeply to the two kunoichi before speaking, " Well thanks again. Have a good evening ladies."

Naruto closes the door then returns to the front room grinning like a madman, "Tayuya catch!"

Tayuya catches the flute and happily grins, "Oh yeah, Now we're talking."

Naruto turns to Karin with a semi-serious face, "How was the training with Tayuya whilst I was gone?"

Karin smiles, "She's improved somewhat, genjutsu is her best skill but she can also use a tanto. She's a very quick learner. Like all Uzumaki, after all, it's in our genes," she smirks at her cousin.

Naruto nods, "Good, I'll help with her training when we have dealt with this now let's go."

They all suit up and wait a few minutes before they leave the compound. Unbeknownst to them, Yūgao and Anko were watching them from the shadows. They noticed that Naruto, Gale, Karin, Yukio, and Tayuya were armed and ready for a fight. Yūgao is confused and softly asked Anko, "Maybe they're training for something?"

Anko shakes her head no, "They have a training field attached to the compound. They're up to something and it's getting my blood running," she then turned to her friend with a glint of mischief in her eye, "As his ANBU Commander maybe you should join us."

Yūgao looks at Anko "Us?"

Anko grins wider, "Yeah, I'm going to follow them." Yūgao just rolls her eyes but follows as well. For a while, they watch the small group. It seems the red head is leading them somehow.

Meanwhile, back with Naruto, he looks at Karin in anticipation, "Anything yet?"

Karin stops and looks around then nods and points, "This way I can feel a large group of people underground, now we just have to find the entrance." After a few minutes of searching, they stop at a boulder with Karin pointing towards it, "The entrance is behind that boulder." Before anyone can do anything Karin smirks, "We have company."

"Where?"

"There," Karin replied as she pointed towards the shadows.

As if on cue Yūgao and Anko jump down. Yūgao sighs as she walks towards her new boss, "Naruto-San what's going on?"

Naruto's face was devoid of any emotion, even his trademark grin was gone. What he said in answer to her question chilled Yūgao's blood, "About to destroy Root and Danzo hopefully."

Anko grins, "What did I tell you Yūgao? I knew they were up to something, count me in!"

Yūgao sighs once more, "May I ask why you are doing this?"

Naruto now smirks as his eyes flash red for an instant, "Short answer? Danzo was to blame for my Clan and Village's demise. In doing so he made an enemy of the wrong man, me."

Anko grins wider, she was not only enjoying herself but Yūgao's discomfort as well, "So, shall we have some fun then?"

Yūgao sighs, "Fine, I just know I'm going to get in trouble with this but who cares? I'm leaving with Naruto soon anyway."

Naruto pulls out his katana. He adds some wind to it's edge and slashes at the rock and watches as it literally gets sliced in half Anko smirks, "Damn, you've improved gaki."

Naruto just schools his face to show nothing and starts walking, "Let's go."

Everyone nods and follow into the tunnel. At fifty meters Naruto smashes a door down and comes out into an opening with over a 100 members of Root. Everyone pulls out their blade but Naruto grins as he channels some of the foxes chakra that elongates his eye teeth into fangs and changes his eyes to red, "Kage Bunshin No Jutsu." Over 200 clones of Naruto appear, Naruto just points and the Clones start attacking. Two Root members come at Naruto but he just uses shunshin to appear in front of them, before they can react their heads have left their bodies.

Tayuya uses her flute, "Mateki: Genbu Sōkyoku (Demonic Flute: Illusionary Warriors Manipulating Melody)." Three demons arrive and start attacking anything not an Uzumaki or a member of their party.

Anko does some handsigns, her voice now filled with venom and hate, "Sen'ei Jashu (Hidden Shadow Snake Hands)." Snakes come out of her sleeves and start attacking the members of Root.

Yūgao goes through some handsigns before she unsheathes her blade, "Mikazuki No Mai (Dance Of The Crescent Moon)."

Karin and Gale both go through some handsigns, "Kongō Fūsa."

Yukio also weaves his own set of handsigns, "Doton: Doryūsō (Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears)."

Naruto continues walking making quick work on any ANBU he sees. A pair of Root Members jump in front of Naruto and he smirks, ready for battle. Before he can swing his blade Yūgao and Gale jump in front of Naruto. Gale smiles at his leader, "We'll deal with these two, go after Danzo, I saw him above us."

Naruto nods, "Stay safe." He then uses shunshin and appears in front of Danzo, "Danzo Shimura, your life ends here, now," he calls in a deceptively calm voice.

Danzo smirks in condescension, "Oh, you really think you can beat me, boy?"

Naruto smirks. "I already have. You see this was my second objective, you see the first was placing a Seal on your body so your sharingan eyes can't help you now. You didn't think I'd notice you had them now did you? Well I did and your chakra has been sealed. You fucked up Danzo, I was thinking about seeing what a mummy could do but I think I'll just end your life. You caused the decimation of my clan and the destruction of my Village. For that I, as Uzukage and the head of the Uzumaki clan pass judgment. I find you guilty of those crimes as well as the involvement in the death of a fellow Kage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. Now, the sentence is that you die. Any last words you old bag of bones?"

Danzo is shocked and grunts in surprise. 'When did he place the seal on me? I didn't feel a thing. Damn Uzumaki he could have been my weapon, but no. that old fool had to keep him away from me. "All I did was for the good of Konohagakure. Every thing I did was to protect the Leaf but that fool of a Hokage and his 'Will of Fire', he was the one that weakened Konoha. I have no regrets in what I've done, history will absolve me."

Naruto just rolls his eyes at Danzo's feeble attempt to justify his actions, "Yeah, yeah, what ever lets you sleep at night. Keep telling yourself that lie you pathetic excuse for a human being. You're a power hungry tyrant. You know, Oji-sama used to tell me how much you changed. Always going behind his back, always trying to countermand him, sigh, you're just a bitter old man who felt you should have been the Hokage. Well you deserved nothing, all you would have done is tried to conquer everything and everyone. I know why you helped Iwa. It was because my Clan refused to share their secrets with you, but enough talking. My blade is thirsting for your blood, I suggest you just stand still. If you run you'll just die tired and out of breath." As he said those words Naruto smiled a smile that froze Danzo's blood. He'd seen that smile before, years ago on a red haired kunoichi named Uzumaki Kushina.

Danzo takes several steps back, 'Dammit my plans are being stopped damn this kid,' are his thoughts, the other thoughts he had was where his bodyguards were and how did the demon brat get inside his headquarters with out notice.

Naruto is still smiling at Danzo, "Well if you're not going to move I should just start my fun." He uses shunshin and then quickly returns to his place. When he does he holds up his trophy, it's then that Danzo feels the burning pain he looks at where his arm should be, the arm that Naruto is holding. Naruto grins in triumph, "That's only the start of your pain."

Meanwhile, Yūgao and Gale stand over the dead bodies of the two dead Root members. Yūgao looks closely, "Fuu Yamanaka and Torune Aburame Danzo's commanders."

Gale spits on their bodies, "He needs stronger commanders then, well let's clean up here."

Yūgao nods and they join in with the others. After 10 minutes all the Root that are present are dead. They're all checking each other for wounds finding none. None of them are badly hurt surprisingly, only a few scratches and a few bruises. Karin looks around and survey's the carnage, "I sense more people here but there not moving. Surely if there were more Root they would have attacked at once, right?"

Yūgao turns to Karin "How can you sense people, are you a sensor type?"

Karin nods, "Yes, I was told by someone when I was little it runs in my family. You know, I think we should go looking for these people."

Gale nods "Stay together in pairs. I'll go with Karin, Tayuya with Yukio and Yūgao with Anko. I'm sure you two can continue working together." They all nod and start searching for these other people.

Meanwhile, back with Naruto, he smirks, "You don't look so good Danzo. I'm getting rather bored I think I'll just kill you now. But before I do I want you to know just one thing, you say you did everything for the good of the village, that history would vindicate you. Well, once you're dead and gone I'll make sure your name is removed from the records and history books. In all but one, you'll be mentioned as the facilitator of my clan's decimation and the accomplice to the assassin of the Third Hokage. You'll be seen only as a traitor to his village, allies and best friend. In all other areas you'll be a ghost, a shadow with no one remembering who that old mummy was,

"Your birth certificate, your diploma from the academy and your promotion documents. Every citation, award and pronouncement will be destroyed, your name in ashes, scattered to the winds. In death you'll be as your minions, nameless, faceless unmourned and unremembered. Danzo Shimura, when I'm done all you will be is a figment of the imagination."

He runs up to Danzo and with one slash of his sword Danzo's head leaves his body. Naruto picks up the head and seals it in a scroll. He looks down and sees all the Root dead and his friends unharmed and breathing so that's good, total mission success.

Karin and Gale are walking through some corridors where she sensed the other people. Now in a laboratory Gale and Karin looks at each other wondering what this could entail when Karin stops by a door. She checks the lock but it's locked tight, well it was until Gale just kicks it in. Of course, he used a jutsu that turned his Leg into rock first. They step inside the room and see a woman lying on a bed. At first they do nothing until Karin sees the red hair and rushes over "Mum!"

Gale looks over, "Isn't your mom dead?"

Gale spots a clipboard and flips through it, "That bastard!" he spat out.

Karin looks around, "What's wrong Gale?"

Gale points to the women, "That's Kushina Uzumaki, Naruto's mother. That, twisted bastard, he's been experimenting on her."

Karin is in shock she grabs the clipboard, "That sick mother fuc... lets hope Naruto killed him."

They hear a voice behind them, "If your talking about Danzo he's dead so what have you found? Who's this?" Karin and Gale look at each other and Naruto looks at them "Well?"

Gale sighs, "Naruto this is.." he looks down, "this is your mother."

Naruto is shocked, "My...my mom?" he walks up to the bed and checks for a pulse and is glad she's alive he clenches his fist until Karin puts her hand on his and he looks at her.

She smiles, "Go and find Tsunade she will be able to see if she's OK."

Naruto nods and Karin passes him the file on what's happened to her. Naruto takes it and as he leaves he flips through the file getting angrier.

Naruto heads straight to Tsunade's office he sees Shizune who sees the blood all over him and she's worried, "Naruto-Kun are you OK?"

Naruto looks down and then looks at her with an embarrassed smile, "Yeah, oh this? Don't worry nii-chan, it's not my, blood where's Tsunade?"

Shizune is shocked by the blood then she snaps out of it, "She's in a council meeting is someone hurt?"

Naruto doesn't reply he just walks off. She follows him as he walks straight to the doors and opens them up, interrupting the Council Meeting. Tsunade looks up and sees the blood all over Naruto "Naruto? What happened?"

Naruto pulls out a scroll and tosses it to Tsunade who opens it and pulls out Danzo's head she looks at Naruto "Why would you kill Danzo?"

Naruto gives her a smile devoid of humor, "For many reasons, all of them legitimate and within reason. "I also slaughtered his ROOT. As for Danzo, his crimes demanded death, helping Iwa destroy my clan and village, helping that bastard snake Orochimaru enter the village during the Chūnin exams, yes I found that out before I killed him," he then tosses a clipboard at Tsunade, "and lastly having my mother experimented on in his underground laboratory."

Tsunade is in shock but she flips though the file and growls, "That bastard, where is she now Naruto?"

Naruto looks up, "Still with Gale and the others unless they brought her to the hospital."

Tsunade stands up, "Meeting over come Naruto lets check on your mother, are you hurt?" Naruto shakes his head Tsunade smiles "Good let's go."

Naruto nods and follows Tsunade out. The council are in shock Tsume growls, "That bastard experimented on my friend? If he wasn't dead I'd kill him myse... hey check out his eye it's partially covered."

Shikaku moves the bandages to the side,"How did he get a sharingan eye?" He looks at Koharu and Homura "Did either of you know about this?"

They are just as shocked but shake their heads. Tsume stands up, "I'm going to see how Kushina is doing. Hey, Shikaku, what was that bastard doing." Shikaku reads the file and clenches his fist then passes the file to Tsume who reads it then storms off.

Shikaku groans, "This is beyond troublesome."
