Start date, November 17
Naruto woke up to blurriness. He sat up, blinking in the dark. He got on his hand and knees, felling around in the room. He found a door and opened it up. He hit something cool and found it was a toilet. He immediately emptied his stomach of its contents. He heard footsteps pass his door many times and drifted off to sleep. He hurt all over and was glad sleep came.

Lord Fang was in his office looking at the Moon Ninja in charge of the group that came. He took a sip of his tea.
"I am sorry I could not meet with you yesterday, I was not feeling well. Now tell me what brings you here."
"We were sent here to retrieve a boy of thirteen years that was taken from his home in the Fire Country. They are our allies. The ninjas of the Fire country had seen a ship flying the emblem of your country; sailing away. We were sent to bring the boy back with us to Moon. Hand the boy over." the Moon ninja said
"I don't know what you are talking about. I have had no ship sail to, Fire country was it? Well I did not and it could be one of our enemies flying our symbol. Now if you don't mind, I have other business to attend to."
The man stood up and left through a door behind his desk. The Moon ninja was lead out and taken back to his hotel. The lead man clenched his hands in fists as he looked at his colleagues.
"They are lying, they have the boy."

Naruto woke up to still complete darkness, but found he could make out shapes in the room from the bathroom. A bed was in a corner, with a small table next to it. He sat up, hitting his head on the toilet. He stood up, rubbing his head and walked into the room. He was hungry and cold, as he made his way to the bed. He sat down and looked at his bare feet. He grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around him.
"I wonder who my father was; the only person I could think of is Yondaime. He looks like me."
"You are right kit, he is, well was your father. I am sorry; I wished this never to happen. If I could get out of your body without you dieing from the process, I love to shred that snake man to pieces."
Naruto was startled when the fox spoke to him. He calmed down and smiled at what it had to say.
"You can talk to me, that's good to know. What do I call you, your name? I don't think grandpa fur ball will work."
A huff of laughter came from the fox.
"You can call me Uzumaki, whirlpool of power. Your mother name was Nami. I think your mother was attracted to your father by his looks and how strong your father was, even if he was a human. She told me that she chose him because of his nature not to judge people around him and took care of everyone around him, not caring if they did not like him. Now we must get out of here. You can't use your chakra with that seal on you left arm. Just be patient for a bit."
Naruto felt a burning sensation on his arm. He bit his lower lip to keep from screaming out. His nose twitched from the smell of burnt skin. The pain faded away. He let go of his lip, wiping the blood away. He stood up.
"The door is the only way out; we will have to wait till someone comes. I doubt they will let you starve."
Naruto nodded and sat next to the door. It felt like hours and he did not know if it was day or night. He started to drift off to sleep when he heard keys rattle and grumbling from behind the door.
"Fake sleep, best thing to do."
Naruto lay down and curled into a ball. The door opened out as he closed his eyes. The man looked down at the boy and snorted.
"I don't see how I had to come down here to give him food."
The man bent down and placed a bowl on the ground. He spit in it and Naruto quickly sent a kick to the man's head. The man flew back, hitting the wall. He slid down it, unconscious. Naruto stood up and moved closer to the man and went through his pockets. He took a kunai and cut free his right arm. He winced from moving it, but pushed the pain away. He took the man's utility pouch and hostler. He made a clone and both dragged the man into the room. Naruto closed the door and made the clone transformed into the man. He looked around and decided to go his left.
"Nice try brat, but you won't be going far."
Naruto jumped back in time from a kunai hitting him. His clone disappeared, being the target of the weapon. He looked at a dark hallway as Moran walked out.
"I don't know how you got that seal off, but you won't get the other off. Now be good boy and come here."
Naruto back up from the man.
"What do I do?"
"Look him in the eyes and force killer intent on him. He will falter."
Naruto did as the fox said and watched as the man's eyes widen and sunk to his knees. He dropped his weapon and Naruto's nose twitched when he smelt ammonia in the air. The man fainted and a heavy thud was heard. He knew the man lost control of his bladder. Naruto walked forward and went through the man's pockets. He got more weapons and a large amount of money.
"Now go, down the hallway he came out of. Just let scents come to you and relax. We will find our way out of here."
Naruto took off down the hallway, three men wide and made himself relax. He felt himself walk up on an incline path. He stopped when the sent of sweat came to him. He grabbed a kunai and hugged to the wall. He quit breathing as someone passed him in the dark.
"Damn it, those idiots did not fix the lighting down here." a man said
"I know, just glad there are no steps." another said
"Knock them out and get as much stuff you can. It may be wasting time, but weapons will be needed, but it won't be good if your escape is found out now."
Naruto shot forward and felt himself hit someone one in the back.
"Bill are you all right?"
He heard someone fall to the ground as he moved to the sound of the person's voice. He hit high, hitting the person in the head. He heard the man fall and he went back to the other. He found him sill conscious and knocked him out. He could only make out a subtle outlines as he went through their pockets. As he left, the utility pouch he had was full of weapons and his pocket was full of money.
He stopped at the end, before the light hit him. He made himself calm down as he strained his ears. He could pick up two voices and no one else. He took a breath and called out, changing his voice.
"Hey, I need help, Bill just passed out on me."
He smirked as he heard the two moved towards him. He sunk back down in the shadows and waited for them to come. His eyes widen slightly when two armored men came. They entered into the dark and he stuck them in the throats, both fell. He went through their pockets and took a second pouch and weapon hostler, putting them on. Both were filled up.
"Very tricky kit, we should be able to get some knowledge of where we are. Look and hear first before going out."
Naruto took a breath as he stood up from the two men. He strained his ears again and found no noise. He moved slowly in the light and looked into the room. He went towards where the men came from. He saw a large wooden door. He walked to it, finding it unlocked. He focused on his hearing as he slowly opened the door. He slipped out when it was enough gap for him.
"It has to be late at night. I would think more people will be seen. That was the only hallway I seen and no doors"
"True, but this area could be a less frequent place."
Naruto moved down the hall, cussing slightly at how cold his feet were. He stopped at a set of wooded stairs and took a deep breath before climbing them. He stopped when he head footsteps. He let out a tiny sigh finding the footsteps going the opposite direction. He smiled when he heard one say the supply room was lock. He quickly ascended the last of the steps and darted to his left. His eyes furled when he found it deadened with a door.
"We just hit a dead-end. There is a door in front of me and behind me are the stairs we just went down and a narrow hallway."
"Try picking the lock on the door."
Naruto moved forward and looked at he lock. He pulled out a shrunken and stuck a point in the keyhole. He knew it would never work as he twisted it. He heard a click and he furled his eyebrows again. He shrugged and entered the door and shut it behind him. He found himself in a weapons room with clothes.
He locked the door and walked up to a window. The sun was just setting. He looked down and found himself three stories up and a wall not far away. He went back to the door and jammed a kunai in the keyhole and broke off the blade. He looked around and found nothing that he already had and the clothes would not fit him. He saw a scroll rack and looked at them.
"Nothing here to take, but I will be able to escape. Just some clothes that won't fit me and more weapons. Some blank scrolls and some with I think are sealing seals."
"Look at the scroll with the seals, break one by placing chakra on it. See if any are food supplies."
Naruto nodded and went to scrolls on the shelf. Only two were found with seals. He open one and broke a seal. Scrolls fell out. He open one and his eyes went wide.
"I think these are information scrolls. This one is for a country named Haven. I guess I will have to get food as well as clothes when I break in a store."
He dropped the scroll in his hands. He moved his feet and hit something. He bent down and saw a metal box. He broke it open and his mouth dropped. Rolled money was found.
"This is strange, why would they leave money out, unless it is for them to take when they go on missions. Might as well take it, don't know when I will need more money and I will take it for compensation.
He heard a snort from the fox as he forced the box into a bag he found. He went back to the window.
"I guess this is now or never." he spoke out loud
He opened the window and poked his head out. He waited for the two guards on the outside of the wall to walk away from each other. He looked around and jumped down. He grabbed hold of the wall with chakra to his feet and ran down the wall. He jumped down the last story and landed with his knees bent. He hissed in pain from his leg, but moved on.
He was glad no light was in the area as he ran across the ground and to the wall. He quickly climbed it and ran to an alley of two buildings as the guards on the outside of the wall made their way towards him. He hugged to the walls to catch his breath.
He made his way through the city on the streets. He only got curious glances from people as he made his way to the market area of the city. He ducked into an alley and looked around. He smiled slightly seeing a ninja store across the street and it was closed.
"So we get stuff, leave the city and go to the Moon."
"Get a room for the night to organize yourself. If the store has any hair dye, get some."
Naruto nodded as he ran across the street and made his way to the back of the building. He looked at the lock and decided to try his luck. He got frustrated and forced it open. He made his way quickly inside and looked around the store. His only light was from the street lights. He found a large travel bag and grabbed it. He filled it up with smoke bombs, ninja wire, medical supplies, and anything he thought he needed. He stopped and looked at the clothes and picked out dark blue pants, and many different colored long sleeve shirts. He was happy to find they were for winter wear. He grabbed a jacket and stuffed anything else he thought he needed in the bag. It was full at the end.
He stopped to grab ninja shoes and only found boots. He tired on many till he found his size and grabbed a package of socks. He looked around and found hair dye and grabbed a box of black.
"No, get a lighter color, brown."
Naruto blinked and thought it over and shrugged his shoulders. He grabbed some and a few other colors to throw off any pursuers.
He sat down to take a breather. He found no food in the store. He jumped when he heard the front doors being unlocked. He heard someone talking and he quickly made his way out of the building.

He looked till midnight for a hotel and transformed into an older person with long black hair and black eyes. He walked up to the women at the receptions desk.
"How can I help you?" she asked
"I need a room for the night."
"That will be thirty five."
Naruto pulled out a small amount from his pocket and was happy that he had some. He paid the women and took the key. He found his room and shut the door, locking it. He let out a sigh as he slid down the door, his illusion disappearing.
Once he got his heart slowed down, he repacked everything and took a hot shower, dyeing his hair. He narrowed his eyes when the fox told him to do the same for his eyebrows. He disposed of the bandages and trash in his bag. As he went to bed, he heard shouting in the city. He ignored it and fell asleep.
