Naruto looked up at the sky and saw dark clouds hovering over. It was likely about to rain today.

"How fitting." Naruto thought bitterly as he stood in military rows with his team in front of the Hokage tower, dressed in the heavy black mourning clothes. To think, he'd been on the top of the damn world yesterday, he had fucked and claimed Gaara, his first jinchuriki and the second daughter of the Kazekage, and was being filed in as a P.O.W. with the first.

And he couldn't find any pleasure in it all. Not with Sarutobi dead and buried.

The invasion fell through something fierce without the element of surprise. Most of the Suna was taken care of a few hours into the fight. Especially once word got through that the 4th was offed by Orochimaru himself. The Sound ninja was dealt with rather easily as well. Despite Orochimaru's men wreaking some damage to the village, the number advantage was too big to overcome, and Konoha won mostly unscathed.

Keyword being "mostly".

Naruto looked over at the framed photographs displayed on the table. Naruto saw Sarutobi's was in pride of place in the center, barely registering the other pictures adorning the table.

"We are gathered here to remember and honor not only the Third Hokage," Homura Mitokado began, standing at the head of the lines of shinobi with the other elder, Koharu Utatane. "But all those who sacrificed themselves in this battle so our village would survive."

For the first time in a very long time, Naruto felt tears fighting to get loose, his eyes stinging and itchy as he somehow managed to hold them all back. He hadn't cried in almost forever. He was convinced that it had been beaten out of him years ago. Not the best time to be proven wrong.

Kyūbi was irritated by his tenant's sorrow, the feelings echoing through him as well. Even so, he stayed quiet and refrained from talking about it, quite aware of the pain of losing a father figure, even if millennia had dulled that pain somewhat.

Naruto could hear a kid he knew was Sarutobi's grandson break down in tears at the same time rain started pouring down. Iruka-sensei crouched down beside him, breaking decorum to try and comfort his student. He looked up into the clouds, trying to wash out his tears on his face. A quick shake of his head quickly flung the water off.

Sakura put on a hard on his shoulder, hoping to comfort her master in some way. "You okay, Naruto-kun?"

Naruto returned the gesture, somewhat grateful for the affection. Even if she was forcefucked into obedience, feeling his first crush's kindness helped his mood immensely, as fucked up as that sounds.

"… and even though we have suffered a loss, we have survived." Koharu continued. "We will keep on surviving. Our Will of Fire burns brightly and will continue to burn for as long as we keep fighting…"

"You know," Sasuki added. "If you want, I could help you kill that snake for the old man if you want."

Naruto blinked. He was aware that he and Sasuki had been getting closer as of late, but she had warmed up to him more than he expected.

"Th-Thanks," Naruto replied, the lump in his throat shrinking somewhat.

"Guys," Kakashi frowned. "Orochimaru is an incredibly dangerous ninja, and he has you two in his sights already. There is no way I'm letting you hunt him down."

"I didn't mean now." Sasuki snapped. "I meant when we're S-class ninja. Besides, you want him dead too, don't you?"

"Of course I do," Kakashi replied. "It'd be easier to count the number of people in this village that don't want the man dead. But you're the last Uchiha and my student. I plan to keep you safe for as long as I'm able. Not to mention, vengeance isn't always the answer."

"I know." Naruto snapped. "I thought you'd be happier to see your students getting along."

Kakashi frowned. "I am." He said. "But I hardly think Sarutobi would want you dying in an attempt to avenge him."

Naruto scowled as Kakashi hit a sore spot. "I know! It's just...damn it!" The lump in his throat got bigger. "I knew that the man was willing to risk his life for this village, but I never thought it would actually happen! He was the God of Shinobi for crying out loud!"

"Sarutobi was far out of his prime in that fight. And Orochimaru was an S-rank ninja regardless. Shinobi must always be prepared for the death of friends and family." Kakashi explained, his tone taking a much softer tone than his usual lecturing. "Our job requires one to risk their lives practically once a week. The best way to honor those that die is to remember them. I hope that made sense."

"When one dies," Homura added appropriately. "What makes them remembered is what they have done and who knew them. Who they've killed. Who they've loved. And everyone in between."

"...I think I do." Naruto sighed, his eyes no longer stinging. "I still want that snake dead though. "

"I know. There is nothing I can say that will change that." Kakashi replied. "I lost a lot of people in my life and I felt the same as you and Sasuki felt. And while I never got the chance to avenge my friends, I know people who tried...and most of the time, it didn't end well."

Sasuki filed that tidbit for later, not wanting to press the issue and bring down the mood again. She really didn't agree with Kakashi's subtle suggestions to give up on revenge, especially considering how long she had gone through life with only that as a goal. Even so, she could see that Kakashi was trying to be nice and trying to stop them from getting themselves killed.

Eventually, the funeral ended and everyone went home. Naruto walked away in a much better mood, his with his teammates talking out the misery of the death of one of his only loved ones.

Naruto sat in the Hokage's tower, still somewhat uncomfortable with the lack of Sarutobi in it. Danzo, Homura, and Koharu were sitting in the Hokage's desk, the latter two also uncomfortable with the situation.

There was a moment of silence before Danzo began. "Do you all know why you're here?" He asked.

"My request for Haku, Karin, Temari, and Gaara for concubines most likely," Naruto replied. "I plan to rebuild the Uzumaki clan someday and I obviously have to propagate my bloodline to do so."

"Not inaccurate," Kyūbi smirked.

"The request is rather extreme itself," Koharu stated. "It will certainly rattle people that know you. Not to mention Suna demanding their bijū back." Danzo frowned at the statement, having no intention of handing the Ichibi over.

Naruto blinked. "Wait, why the hell should we give Gaara back?"

Homura frowned at the language. "The Bijū were originally used by the First Hokage as bargaining chips to stabilize relationships and treaties with the other villages. He gave them the Bijū as a sign of trust."

"Well, that warrants even less reason to give them back." Naruto snapped. "The Bijū were given as a sign of trust. Sand broke that trust when they allied with Sound and tried to destroy the village. Is it not our right to take back what was freely given? Just because we're the nice village doesn't mean we should just leave them off with a slap on the wrist. Plus, two Jinchuuriki will ensure no one else tries to attack us."

Danzo was a master of hiding and killing his emotions. The small smile he wore was the equivalent of an open-toothed grin. He very clearly approved of Naruto's reasoning. "I couldn't have said it better myself."

"Even so, you are a fresh chūnin. The civilian council, in particular, will object." Homura argued.

"They'll have to deal with it," Naruto said. "Most of the village is going to find out who captured Gaara anyway. There's no way no one sensed the fight between two jinchūriki."

"That would disavow some of the discontents," Homura admitted. "Even so, a fresh chūnin getting four concubines will be fought against, especially considering your reputation."

"Can you tell us that you will be able to handle the backlash of this?" Danzo stated. He really didn't care much about Temari as long as she could be used as leverage against Suna for more power. Gaara, on the other hand, was a second jinchūriki. A great asset that was foolishly mishandled by her village. And they wondered why they had money problems. He just needed to get the boy to back off and bring Gaara in ROOT.

Naruto was mildly apprehensive of using his trump card. He barely knew more about it than him getting the fox shoved inside of him at birth at the cost of Kushina's and Minato's lives. Even so, he had no intention of just letting his first jinchūriki go. "Well, we could just reveal my lineage."

A tense silence followed that statement as the elders processed. "...What." Danzo said, his previous good mood completely gone.

"I know the fourth is my dad," Naruto stated.

The reaction was incredible. Homura and Koharu let out sharp, alarmed gasps as they knew what the boy knew. Danzo himself narrowed his eyes at the hanyou, his previously calm and calculating expression instead filled with an undeniably angry sense of curiosity.

"How did you get that knowledge?" Danzo asked coldly.

"Jiraiya," Naruto said simply. "His summons, to be exact." He filed away the shock of the elders as proof that he shouldn't have known this. "If people know I'm Minato's kid, everyone will tolerate bending the rules for me. In fact, many people will back off to avoid a civil war."

Danzo cursed Jiraiya in his head. The boy will get a huge amount of political power if this goes well and he couldn't think of a way to deter him...Danzo's eyes widened as a great rebuttal came to mind. "Wait, there's still Iwa."

"That could be dealt with easily," Koharu stated, inadvertently shooting Danzo's last grab for the Ichibi in the foot. "We already beat back Suna after they dropped a jinchūriki in the village. If word gets out that we have the son of the fourth and a jinchūriki capable of a full possession in our midst, the other villages will decide against shaking the hornet's nest too quickly, if at all, giving us time to prepare for if they do."

Naruto smirked. "Is that everything?"

Danzo tried to think of something but failed. "...It is."

"Good." Naruto stood back up and stretched, some tired from the political meeting. Even so, he's rather glad he did this. Aside from getting Temari and Gaara, he got the ability to build up his harem with less suspicion. Also, he managed to lay his hand in politics, an area he's been woefully inexperienced in.

"One last thing," Danzo stated. "I was going on having a trainer for you and Gaara to control your jinchūriki powers. I had planned to run things through with Sarutobi after the exams, but he died."

Naruto was intrigued. While he didn't have the problem of Kyūbi trying to take over his body, he did have trouble training them. There were no places he could be that wouldn't send sensors into a frenzy. A problem that made beating Gaara a lot harder. A jinchūriki with more tails could seriously beat him into the ground if he doesn't have enough time. Fixing that problem will undo many headaches. Even so..."Why not Kakashi?"

"Kakashi will be focused on Sasuki and her sharigan." Danzo reasoned. "Plus, his bloodline is more built for handling demon chakra."

"Okay. What's his name?" Naruto asked.

"Yamato," Danzo said simply.

Naruto nodded. "Bye. And thanks." The elders nodded back.

"Meeting adjourned," Koharu stated.

It was going to be a great improvement to the apartment he had. That, he was sure of. It was on the outskirts of the Leaf Village, at the base of a mountain, a scenic place for a new clan to flourish. The house would be done in a week or two, and the news of Naruto's lineage would be revealed then. Jiraiya was super ticked when Naruto told him.

"If you wanted a harem, I could've gotten you one, brat!" Jiraiya roared.

"You're just jealous that I got one younger than you did." Naruto snarked.

"No, I'm-well yes actually, I'm jealous as all hell." Jiraiya raged. "But that's not the point! Why did you have to go to Danzo, of all people?!"

Naruto frowned in confusion. "What are you talking about? He was an adviser of the old man right?"

"Yes. But also an incredibly dangerous war hawk." Jiraiya said. "There is no low he wouldn't sink to. No travesty he wouldn't commit to wiping out threats to the village. No mind he wouldn't pervert. He's wanted to make you a superweapon since you were born, and Sarutobi constantly stopped him."

Naruto frowned at the knowledge. "If he's so dangerous, why did Sarutobi make him an adviser?"

"Partly so he could keep an eye on him." Jiraiya rambled. "Partly because he is a genuinely brilliant strategist. But mostly because Sarutobi was the only person that could reason with Danzo. They were childhood friends and went through things that no amount of paranoia or malice could break apart. Sarutobi kept the man stable."

"And now he's dead." Naruto finished, now realizing the problem. "Shit, what now?"

"Now? You lay low and stay in your house." Jiraiya warned. "Don't let anyone you don't know in."

Naruto frowns at effectively being put on house arrest, but concedes, not wanting to go up against a man that has been a ninja for as long as Danzo has. He knew from the old man that a ninja as active for as long as Sarutobi was is a dangerous man, not to be taken lightly. "Okay, could you run over to the construction site of my new house and look for any seals or traps then? And supervise my training with Yamato?"

"Who?" Jiraiya asked.

"Danzo wanted me to train my bijū powers with someone," Naruto explained. "He said it was someone that could handle demon with a bloodline of sorts."

Jiraiya froze. He knew of only two bloodlines built for fighting bijū and the sharigan was one of them. If the conclusion he was coming to was right, then Naruto would be in deeper shit than he thought to go alone.

"Damn." Jiraiya thought. "Okay. Just don't go near this Yamato guy without me, okay?"

Naruto nodded. "Looks like you're finally taking this godfather job seriously."

Jiraiya sighed, feeling really old all of a sudden. "I kinda have to. I have no reason to leave you alone now. Especially considering the issue you've gotten yourself in. Seriously, didn't you think it was weird that you merely talked to Sarutobi's advisers and not other members of the village?"

"The civilian council hates me." Naruto snapped. "They would've denied my request no matter what I said. They might have even tried to kill Gaara to rid the world of another 'demon'." Naruto gave his last word huge air quotes.

"Fair point," Jiraiya admitted. "But still."

"Ugh." Naruto sighed. Between the funeral, the meeting with the elders and this little debacle, he was utterly exhausted. All he wanted to go home and fuck one of his sluts. Probably Sakura since most of his harem was in custody and he couldn't leave the house. Although, he'd have to be extra careful with making sure no one saw it now that there might be jōnin watching them 24/7.

Naruto walks away, waving Jiraiya goodbye. "See ya tomorrow, ya old coot."

Jiraiya nodded, planning on having a few words with Danzo. "See ya brat."

Naruto locked the door behind him, intending to take his frustrations on Tsubaki. A quick check around with Kin sensor abilities gave no indication of anyone he didn't know to be here. With a sigh of relief, the boy walks around to find Tsubaki. It doesn't take long as she's merely in the bedroom tidying things up.

"Master." Tsubaki beamed as she saw Naruto. "Have your plans gone well?"

Naruto grimaced. "More or less. We're getting a better house in a week. However, I've caught the attention of a rather dangerous individual. He might be on my side, but he more likely just want a puppet jinchūriki."

Tsubaki paled at the thought, but it was quickly dismissed. "It doesn't matter," Naruto explained. "We just have to lay lower. Also, I should up my training a bit. But first, I need some serious downtime."

Tsubaki smiled sultrily at the last statement, very aware of Naruto's idea of downtime is. She quickly stripped down into her birthday suit. Naruto also unclothed, grabbing the waistband of his sweatpants and pulled them and his boxers down, letting his hard dick pop out of its confines.

Within a second, the shinobi widow was sucking at his member like a vacuum cleaner. Tsubaki slid him right down her throat with ease, not gagging even once as she bobbed her head up and down on his length like the champion cock sucker he made.

Although she did once Naruto grabbed her by the head and thrust forward into her throat. "Damn I needed this." Naruto thought. While the support from his team had helped greatly, being able to vent his frustrations like this was simply satisfying after those meetings with Danzo and Jiraiya. With an absent thought, Naruto also laid the same 2 genjutsu he did in the restroom with Sakura, the threat of being watched still clear in his mind.

With a mixture of a growl and a groan, Naruto thrusts forward, all the way down Tsubaki's gullet. Then he begins to cum right then and there, down the widow's throat. Her eyes go wide, and her cheeks bulge out for a moment, before gulping down the sperm in bulk, not a drop leaking out of her mouth.

A moment later, Naruto's hot seed lands in her belly and the kunoichi kneeling before him climaxes on the spot, orgasming explosively as her eyes very nearly roll back in her head, right then and there. Naruto grins, his cock hardening even more at the slutty image. He then walked over to the bed and laid himself on it.

"On the bed, Tsubaki. You're going to fuck yourself on my cock."

Tsubaki's eyes widen in excitement as she leaps on the bed and straddling his lap. lined his cock up with her needy slit and then promptly shoved herself down onto his cock. Taking him in deep, she just decided to lose control and shove forward, her ass bouncing aggressively atop his lap with urgent need. "You're filling me up again!" The older woman shrieked. "You're so well endowed, so good!" She wasn't about to slow down now for anything as the wetness and heat were that sucking Naruto's cock had ignited within her a desire to get fucked hard.

He grins at the compliment, spanking her ass as she bounces. She squeals and speeds up with every consecutive blow to her ass. Slowly but surely, Naruto reddens Tsubaki's buttocks. Once they're a nice, bright, angry shade of red, he grabs those asscheeks and fucking her himself.

His powerful, deep thrusts soon send into an insane orgasm, one that quickly spirals into many. Various squeals and yells come out of Tsubaki as she's wrecked on Naruto's cock. Naruto loses track of just how many times Tsubaki cums on his cock before the clenching and tightening of her cunt muscles milk his release out of him. His cock erupted inside of her, spewing hot shots of messy, thick cum that flooded into her waiting hole, making her cry out for more as he seeded her and refused to slow down. He continued to pound her through his orgasm, sloshing the deluge of cum inside of her.

"There's so much cum inside of me now," Tsubaki whined, biting her lip as Naruto pulled out of her well-fucked cunt, only to freeze as she felt him spread her buttocks and place the cock in her ass. "Wha-"

"We're not finished." Naruto rumbled, before slamming his cock into her asshole. The various pounding said asshole got and the lube his cum made, he was able to shove almost the whole thing inside her. Tsubaki lets out a squeal and a moan as her back unconsciously arch upwards in response, eyes going wide from sensory overload.

As Naruto begins to fuck her ass, all nice and cleaned up in preparation for this moment, Tsubaki's eyes roll back in her head yet again as she experiences another orgasm. This time the climaxes don't stop, as she remembers in rapid succession all the times her Master has taught her where she really belonged before now.

Soon enough Naruto was battering foot-long pumps of her hips into that ass, her hypnotic fuck-globes jiggling about with a life of their own, the sound of wet flesh slapping against wet flesh mingling with Tsubaki's insensate groans and driving Naruto to new heights of ecstasy. Her dress is torn and she's covered in sweat in no time. In short, the beautiful woman doesn't look like much of a trained kunoichi after around ten minutes of her Master's dick buried in her ass. Instead, she just looks like a whore, a happy little anal cum slut, desperate to please the young blonde boy plowing her senseless.

When he finally cums inside of her, Tsubaki squeals one last time around his hand and then slumps forward onto the desk as he pulls his fingers from her throat and his cock from her ass. She lays there, prostrates on the floor until suddenly a hand is in her hair. Her head is lifted up and the messy dick, covered in remnants of his cum load, smacks across her cheek.

She opens wide and sticks out her tongue, and her Master shoves his member into her mouth. Tsubaki smiles as best she can as she happily cleans it off, eyes half-shut the entire time, but tongue and lips stick working hard to please the young man using her as nothing more than his cum dump.

"Aaah." Naruto sighed, relieved of the day's tension. "I needed that. Thank you, Tsubaki."

"I aim to please, master," Tsubaki stated.

Ding-Dong

Naruto and Tsubaki turn to the door as it rings. "Who is that?" Tsubaki asked. She didn't expect anyone to come here at the moment.

"I don't know." Naruto frowned, half-expecting the ninja Jiraiya warned him about. He tapped into his abilities to see what was on the other side of the door...and immediately went pale. "Tsubaki. We got to go."

"Wha-" Tsubaki's eyes widened as she saw Naruto's panicked face. "Master? Who is at the door?"

"I don't know." Naruto swallowed as he felt out the 2 at the door. One wasn't that different from a normal ninja's chakra, although there was a definite edge to it. However, the other was enormous. Bigger than Gaara when she was channeling Shukaku's chakra. "But it is definitely no one we know."

"Oh." Tsubaki paled, before running through some hand signs and sinking into the floor. She may have been doing little else than cleaning and fucking these days but years of training don't simply fade away. Naruto tried to follow after her, only for the door to suddenly burst in. A hasty replacement avoided a few kunai thrown at him.

"Well, that's not very polite." A voice chuckled. Naruto's eyes widened in shock as he saw the attackers. The ninja with the insane chakra reserves looked almost like a shark, with blue skin, sharp teeth, and even gills.

The other was a fairly tall man of fair complexion. He had onyx eyes, under which were long, pronounced tear-troughs. He had jet-black hair that was pulled back in a low ponytail and his face was framed with center-parted bangs that extended to his chin. He actually looked oddly similar to Sasuki.

"Who the hell are you?!" Naruto roared at the intruders.

"Kisame is my name." The shark looking dude chuckled. "And my partner here is Itachi."

"Naruto, it would best if you came out right now." The newly named Itachi stated, his calm tone doing little to hide the underlying threat.

Naruto glared at the 2 ninjas. He had a serious hunch that these guys didn't work for Danzo. They seemed far too willing to attack him to be from Konoha-.

"Uchiha!" Kyūbi roared in rage, giving Naruto a mild headache.

"Kyūbi, what the hell?!" Naruto snapped at the sudden distraction, nearly being struck by more kunai and frantically retaliating with wind bullets.

"The human-looking one!" Kyūbi raged, nearly slamming into the walls of the mindscape. "He's an Uchiha!"

"What?" Naruto growled in his head, suddenly noticing the red glint in the stoic ninja's eyes. "Shit!" He growled, scrambling his chakra to release any potential genjutsu he got hit with. "I thought they were all killed off and Sasuki was the only one left!"

"As did I." The beast snarls. "Apparently not."

Kisame chuckled as he closed in on the jinchuriki. "You're a rather slippery kid, aren't you? Itachi, can I cut this kid's legs off? It'll make catching him easier." When he got no response, he turned to his partner in confusion, seeing him looking off into the hallway. "Itachi?"

"It has been a long time, Sasuki," Itachi stated, catching Naruto's attention.

"Sasuki?" Naruto asked. While he couldn't see his teammate with the large shark dude blocking his way, he could sense Sasuki's chakra pretty close. Her chakra had a noticeable similarity to Itachi's and a few pieces started to lock in place.

"Itachi-neesan," Sasuki growled with unfettered malice, confirming Naruto's suspicions. Using the sudden distraction of his teammate's appearance, Naruto made a shadow clone in the hallway and replaced himself with it to get out of Kisame's grasp.

Not that Kisame seemed to mind, clearly intrigued by the sharigan eyed, murderous glare Sasuki was giving her apparent brother. "Itachi, who is this kid?" He asked.

"...My younger sister." Itachi stated factually, not seeming to care about the hand signs said sister was making.

"That's odd." Kisame wondered. "I was aware that the Uchiha clan was massacred in its entirety. By you." Naruto paled somewhat, not just at the realization of what happened to Sasuki, but the fact that she was about to pick a fight with the guy that destroyed the strongest clan of Konoha in one night.

"It's just as you said brother," Sasuki continued, spitting out the word brother like a curse. "I've waited and trained for so long. And focused all my strength on one goal." The birds chirping and the bright light of a Chidori appeared in her hand. "To see you DEAD!" She roared, charging the mass murderer at full sprint. "It ends here! Now DIE!"

"Wait!" Naruto roared in vain, there was no way Itachi wouldn't be able to dodge and counter such an obvious attack. The girl was almost begging to get killed. "Stop! You idiot!"

Sasuki either didn't listen or didn't care, as she thrust her hand forward with the full intent to run her brother through on it. To Naruto's surprise, rather than replace himself or perform some other evasive maneuver, Itachi caught the attack with his bare hands, stopping the limb turned lance in its tracks.

"...The fuck?" Naruto gaped at seeing the same jutsu that punched through Gaara's sand shield halted so casually.

"Foolish little sister." Itachi chided his hard clasping tightly around Sasuki's. "Did you really think it would be that easy?"

Despite her pain, Sasuki merely smirked. "Of course not." That was the only warning Itachi got before Sasuki exploded into blue electricity. Despite the speed and range of the range, Itachi was easily able to jump out of the blast radius of the clone...right into the path of the second Sasuki charging at him with a second Chidori in hand.

"DIE!" Sasuki roared, right about to spear Itachi through the head...only for the head to vanish into crows. "What?"

Seeing this last trick managed to shake Naruto out of his stupor, leading him to rush to Sasuki's side. "That might the most insane thing you've done yet." He growled as Kisame started to move again. "And coming from me, that's saying something. Where did you even that jutsu?"

"Shut up and move!" Sasuki snapped as Kisame went the offensive.

The two ninjas jumped out of the way of Kisame's sword swing before bounding down the hallway. "Oh no, you don't!" Kisame roared, forming seals and spitting out a shark made of water. A shark that Naruto diverts via a burst of Bijū chakra.

"Aahh..." Kisame smirked, seeing their true objective rear its head as a cloak formed around Naruto. "There it is."

"There it is?" Naruto thought. "Kyūbi, are these guys after you?"

"Most likely," Kyūbi replied. "There aren't many reasons for experienced missing-nin to bust into a hidden village."

"That cloak again," Sasuki growled as they ran, looking for any sign of her brother. "What is that power, Naruto?"

"Not the time-awk!" Naruto yelped as Itachi dropkicked him out of nowhere.

"Naruto!" Sasuki rushed to her friend's aid, only to be sucker-punched in the solar plexus, dropping to the ground almost out cold.

"Naruto wields the power that the Akatsuki needs." Itachi droned as he turned Naruto over, forcing him to look into his eyes. "And we will have it."

Upon eye contact, Naruto's eyes dilated as Kyūbi's shroud around him vanished. His voice also dissipated from Naruto's mind as well. "Kyūbi!" Naruto growled angrily, "You bastard."

"The sharigan has the innate ability to control Bijū." Itachi boasted softly. "With my mastery, a demon cloak is useless against me."

"Bijū?" Sasuki thought, trying not to writhe in pain on the floor. "Is that the power Naruto's using?" Sasuki shook her head, she could address Naruto's power another time. Not it was time to act.

Itachi looked over at Sasuki, who was trying to get back up. "Do you plan to fight me in that condition?"

"I plan to stop you from harming my friends again." Sasuki snapped, getting a surprised look from Naruto. Despite dumping most of her chakra on 2 Chidoris, she stood up with her Sharingan eyes. "You killed everybody I ever loved before disappearing into the night. And now come back after no less than 5 years to kidnap one of my teammates. Not even a day after the 3rd's death. Do you expect me to just lie down while you kill more people again? While you ruin my life again?!"

"No," Itachi said simply. "But I do expect your efforts to be useless. As useless as that faithful night."

Going by how something seemed to snap in Sasuki's eyes, that was not the right response.

The result was actually rather subtle at first. She didn't scream or shout or anything. She didn't say anything else. But her expressions...Itachi picked his sister's murderous rage come out in full force.

First, her hands clenched.

Second, she started shaking.

Third, her eyes morphed into 3 tomoe, utterly burning with rage.

Finally, the curse mark activated, snaking out of Kakashi's containment seal and down her back and arm.

Naruto paled as Sasuki snapped her head, breathing a blast of flame directly him and Itachi. Thankfully, even in her demented rage, she aimed the flame to pass over Naruto's prone body and hit Itachi, who merely body flickered out of the way.

"We'll see about that!" Sasuki snarled, exploding in flame before rushing after Itachi in a mad dash.

"Damn!" Naruto growled, trying not to get up to follow, only to have to throw himself out of the way of sword slamming into the ground.

"Now, Now." Kisame chastised, pulling his blade back up as Itachi led the enraged Sasuki away. "This fight is none of our business."

"You clearly should have researched Konoha more before you barged in here," Naruto growled. "When a fellow Konoha ninja is in danger, we make it our business."

"Well said brat."

Kisame stilled as he heard the voice come from the other side of the hallway.

Naruto on the other hand, almost sighed in relief as the speaker revealed himself in an explosion of smoke.

"Really now..." Jiraiya laughed, a random lady sloped on his shoulder. "Did you think you could distract me with a beautiful lady so easily? Fools! I do not fall for the charms of ladies! THEY FALL FOR MINE! WHEN YOU REACH A STATUS LIKE MINE, ALL WOMEN BOW AT YOUR RAW SEX APPEAL!"

"...Dude, this is like the worst time." Naruto snapped at the asinine entrance.

"Heheheh." Kisame chuckled. "You're a bit late for the fun Jiraiya. I have doubts you outwitted us so easily."

"Gee, what gave it away?" Naruto sighed.

"Oi brat!" Jiraiya pouted. "Why are you wrecking my reputation by siding with the enemy?!"

"Fuck your reputation!" Naruto snapped. "Sasuki's in trouble!"

Fortunately, Jiraiya got serious rather quickly. "I know." With no hand signs, a clone popped up in the hallway and proceeded to charge Kisame with bulging cheeks.

Kisame had been making hand signs before Naruto made his outburst, and spit a geyser of water right as the clone spit napalm.

The two attacks clashed, both projectiles trying to push each other out of the way and for a second they seemed equal. However, Kisame's winning chakra nature pushed forward and crashed into the clone.

Kisame grinned as he saw the clone pushed back and eventually pop...only to reveal nothing.

"Wait, what?!" Kisame squawked before paling as a recent event ran across her memory. "Oh shit-"

Clang!

It was only thanks to his insane reflexes that stopped him from being chopped in half by the sword-wielding toad that popped up right behind him.

"So sorry, but we cannot stay." A smirking Jiraiya stated an equally smug Naruto behind him. "A young lady needs our help."

However, it was at that point that a scream of bloody murder ripped through the building, causing the two Konoha nin to freeze.

Naruto whipped around in a panic and burst down the halls, Jiraiya right behind him.

Naruto's eyes widened to see Itachi pinning Sasuki to the wall, the latter screaming her head off and thrashing in his grip.

"You bastard..." Naruto snarled, killing intent pouring out of him. "How dare you harm my teammate..." And all at once his intent spiked as he roared in fury. "I'LL KILL YOU!" And with that he shot off in the Uchiha's direction, charging the S-rank ninja full force.

"The hell you're slipping by me again brat!" Kisame roared, jumping over Jiraiya and rushing down Naruto.

"Nope!" Jiraiya yelped, going through a series of seals before slamming his hands on the ground. Instantly, the entire hallway's structure transformed from wood and paper to muscles and tissue. "Hidden Art. Toad Mouth Bind…" The man chuckled as Kisame and Itachi instantly went on guard. "Congratulations. You two are now officially my summon's dinner. I hope you're grateful Iwagama! These two are high-quality cuts!"

"Kisame!" Itachi yelled as the wall ripped Sasuki from his grasp. "We're leaving!"

"Tch..." Kisame pouted angrily, debating whether to grab Naruto as he ran and deciding against it. He could tell this jutsu was way too dangerous to risk being caught by. "I freaking hate getting cockblocked."

"Wind Release: Air Bullets!" Naruto roared, spitting a machine gun spread of air blasts at Itachi.

Itachi merely body flickered away, Kisame doing the same to appear next to him as they both ran like hell. As they ran towards the end of the hallway, the blue man noticed that the walls were converging on them. "Oi Itachi. These walls are moving pretty quickly… at this rate…" That was when he noticed his partner had his eyes closed for.

"Amaterasu!"

Jiraiya frowned as he ran past Naruto and Sasuke and turned the corner to see a giant hole in the wall laced with black fire where the 2 ninjas should be. "Damn it!" Jiraiya cursed, dispelling the summoning jutsu.

"Sasuki!" Naruto screamed as the wall spit the young Uchiha up. He grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her violently to get a reaction...to no avail. "What the hell happened did that bastard do to you?!"

"She's catatonic," Jiraiya frowned as he looked over Sasuki. "Let me-"

"Dynamic Entry!" Gai roared as he smashed in Jiraiya's face before quickly paling as he saw who he kicked.

"What the fuck now?!" Naruto roared as he whipped around to face the perceived threat, only to deadpan at who it was.

"Ow!" Jiraiya cursed. "The fuck man?!"

"Er..." Gai chuckled sheepishly. "Sorry about that. I knew Itachi was around after what happened to Kakashi and took it upon myself to avenge my rival. I couldn't afford to risk looking him in the eyes, so I used my headband as a mirror to check where he was. I ended up mistaking you for him in my rush."

"If this is your way of saying sorry," Jiraiya growled. "It sucks!"

Gai shrunk under Jiraiya's pissed off gaze. "It was a simple misunderstanding."

"Simpleminded is more like it," Jiraiya snapped. "But never mind that now. Sasuki needs medical attention stat."

"Wait!" Naruto screamed, alarming the others. "What happened to Kakashi?!"

"He tried to fight Itachi when he was infiltrating the village along with Kurenai," Gai explained. "And both were knocked out by a powerful genjutsu."

Naruto growled viscerally. "I'm going to fucking kill him!"

Jiraiya paled. "Nonononono. I'm not letting you fight that monster."

"Don't worry," Naruto snapped. "I can't fight that yet. He'd crush me easily. But I'm going to get stronger, strong enough to rip him in half."

"What the hell happened to Kakashi's talk?!" Jiraiya snapped at him.

Naruto's murderous rage blinked out at that moment as Jiraiya's point hit home. "Damn it!" Naruto kicked out in frustration. "What the hell should I do then? Sit here and wait for him to attack us again?"

"I've seen too many people lose themselves in the pursuit of revenge," Jiraiya growled. "And I'll be damned if I let my godson do the same. I failed enough already!"

The admittance of his failure took the wind out of Naruto's rage. "...Fine."

"If I may interject," Gai said worriedly, catching Naruto and Jiraiya's attention. "I'm not sure our medical ninja are capable of fixing this kind of damage." Naruto paled at the implications. Was Sasuki going to wake up at all?

"I know," Jiraiya admitted. "If there's any consultation to this mess it's that I've just been assigned to finding our best medical ninja in history. Someone who could easily get Kakashi and Sasuki back in action."

Naruto blinked in confusion. "Okay, who is this guy and why are you supposed to bring them back?"

Jiraiya gave a shit-eating grin. "First of all, she isn't a guy. She's the third of the Sanin, the world's best medic-nin, worst gambler, and the only woman who could resist my epic manly sexuality! Tsunade Senju!"

Gai's eyes bulged. "You're bringing her back? Why?!"

"Simple," Jiraiya said. "The council has nominated her to be the 5th Hokage!"

Now Naruto's eyes bulged. "WHAT?!"
