Flashback end

Naruto was knocked out of his thoughts when he heard the window opening there he saw jiraiya entering there was silence for a couple of minutes when jiraiya finally spoke hey kid i heard about what happened with your teammate just know naruto you are no demon you are you naruto uzumaki he finished. Then Naruto spoke for the first time. I thought she was different from the rest of the village. I thought we were a team. Sakura Sasuke kakashi sensei he finished with a tear sliding down his face. Jiraiya then spoke more serious than naruto had ever heard him speak he said naruto i'm going to tell you something that has saved many shinobi's lives alway find out who your true friends are never trust someone to easy because just as easy they will stab you in the back this is world we live in he finished saying. After a few minutes of silence he spoke again i have spoken with tsunade she was not happy about sakura she was ready to punch her into the wall when sakura asked to be taken in as her apprentice. He chuckled getting a small smile from naruto. He spoke again me and tsunade want you to become my apprentice and take you out of the village for a 2 year training trip getting a wide eyed naruto there was silence for 10 minutes and then naruto finally spoke no i don't want to leave the village for 2 years getting a wide eyed jiraiya thinking that naruto would jump at the opportunity for training he was about to ask why but was cut of when naruto said i don't want to leave the village because i have my real friends here even if sakura and sasuke are not my friends anymore the rest of the rookie 9 are and i want to protect them all even if it has to be from the shadows.

Jiraiya finally spoke after realising what naruto meant when he said protecting them from the shadows the only thing he can think of is the anbu but he was sure naruto didn't know anything about them his thoughts were cut off when naruto spoke again. Pervy sage i want to join the anbu there i can train get stronger and protect the village jiraiya spoke again naruto you can't just join the anbu like that you have to especially recommended for it from the hokage then you have pass there special exam at that moment tsunade entered the room and asked what was going on and when jiraiya told her she stared in shock at naruto someone she saw as a little brother or even a son. Tsunade finally got out of her surprise and spoke naruto why would you want to join the anbu there the shinobi that get send to do the missions

our jonin are not willing to do the get send to kill people and you don't ask questions you just follow order is that what you really want can you handel killing someone and not knowing the reason your just following orders she finished speaking. Naruto looked at her with determined eyes and said yes if it's for the betterment of konoha and to protect the few precipice people in the village that i care about then i am willing to follow the orders and not ask questions. Jiraiya and tsunade both looked surprise at the determination in his eyes and tsunade just sigh she knew that there is no way to convince naruto now she shook her head and just smile at naruto's determination to protect the village and his friends she thought about how to go about getting naruto into anbu without alerting the councils because she knew that they would not allow naruto to join anbu. Jiraiya was just smiling and seeing naruto grow up he thought that he could teach naruto some things while hes in the village on occasion this gave him more of an opportunity to spy on the akatsuki and collect more information about them it was going to be difficult with naruto around but now it would be much easier. To none of their knowledge this change in events would cause many changes.

A week later

Naruto was leaving the hospital and going to the hokage office while he was walking down the street he was getting glarde at most of them are because he was the jinchuriki of the kyuubi and some because he didn't bring back the precious uchiha. Jumping onto the roof and running to the hokage office missing the purple haired anbu in the shadows.

Hokage office

Naruto walked into the building and knocked on the door tsunade said come in and naruto walked in missing the surprise look on tsunade's face because he knocked and not barged in.

Hello naruto what can i help you with naruto said hello hokage sama which made tsunade go wide eyed for a second but was able to keep the surprise of her face and naruto continued speaking i was wondering if you had the anbu recommendation sent he asked tsunade said i had it sent to the anbu commander and received a reply he said that they will train you for a couple of moths and after have you perform a test if you fail you will not join anbu and if you pass you will continue your training with them until your ready for anbu missions. She finished speaking naruto asked when he would start she said in 4 days an anbu will come and pick you up and take you to anbu headquarters where you will live and train until you have your test she just said thankyou and walked out tsunade was surprised at how calm and professional he was with her thoughts finished she went back to doing the worst thing humans created paperwork

Four days later

Naruto was waiting for the anbu in the hokage office he had bought some new clothes by transforming into someone else now he had a black shirt with the red spiral on his back and he also had black anbu pants with black sandals tsunade was surprised when she saw him thinking that he would never get rid of the orange monstrosity. Naruto had been preparing for

his training all week he had started going into the library under a transformation because the librarian would not let him in if he looked like himself he head been thinking about all he did as a shinobi so far now he saw that it was no game being a shinobi people died all the time and he had been treating it like a game so while in the library he started reading about most of the stuff he missed while in the academy. Ending his thoughts naruto heard a monotone voice say hokage sama and saw a male with brown hair was about 5'11 and had the anbu armor with a tiger mask. Turning back to the convocation naruto heard him talk to the hokage about him ending the conversation with the hokage the anbu turned to him and say hello im tiger or you can call me senpai. Saying his goodbye to the hokage he followed the anbu out the door and into the village the anbu told him to keep up and started running through the roof tops after about 10 minutes of running at mid chunin speed he had followed the anbu into a less populated part of the village they went into a big building and there were just tunnels in every direction following the anbu for a couple of more minutes they finally came to a stop naruto was slightly winded but not that tired.

The anbu turned back to him and started to speak this is anbu headquarters it was a big space with tunnels going into different directions the anbu started to speak again we will begin your training tomorrow today i will show you around and introduce you to some of your teachers naruto asked who was going to be his teacher the anbu said its mostly going to be myself and another anbu codename cat naruto just nodded. After the anbu showed naruto around they went into what looked like a meeting room they were waiting for the cat anbu to show up when a purple haired woman with a cat masked walked in naruto thought she looked familiar but put it to the back of his mind. Then the tiger masked anbu started speaking naruto this is cat naruto raised his hand to shake the woman's hand and she did the same then the tiger masked anbu removed his mask and said my name is tenzo then it was purple haired anbu turn and when she removed her mask all naruto could think was beautiful with her long purple hair and her red lips but when naruto looked into her eyes all he saw was sadness and loneliness tenzo had introduced her as yugao which caused naruto to go wide eyed he knew who she was she had saved him when he was younger he remember calling her kitty chan
