A/N: So, this chapter is a little shorter than the last two. It was far Longer but I just felt it ended in a better place with it stopping short. It's about 5K so still a decent chapter. I got several responses on who to add to the harem and I believe I have made my choices.

Responses:

Joe, QuentintTNT, apolacba2011- Thanks for the support.

ViktonovaMk2- I like to keep five girls or less because I feel it's easier to form a real relationship with that many after that stories tend to be all over the place or get very generic by saying 'he took them each out on a date.' I want this to have a bit more personality but to each his own. Kin and Tayuya I actually have some plans in the works for them but it's not concrete other than they will not be. Sorry. Haku I am going to make female but she won't end up with Naruto.

AndiDuel- Kurotsuchi was a thought but it would really clash with the final direction of this story. Yugito on the other hand is in so bonus points for that.

Fictionelement777-Yakumo will probably make an appearance in a flash back or mention but she is out. Sadly, I have no plans for Isaribi to show up.

The other I have decided to use is not one I have ever really scene. I think mainly cause the background on her is sketchy at best but I think I came up with a good enough story. It will also move the story towards it final end.

Warning this will be an MA fic. It will have foul language, blood, gore, attempted rape, probably cold blooded sadistic murder, and most likely lemons and limes.

Chapter 11: Fighting the Farewell

"Hajime"

Cat was the first to move charging in from behind him and to the left with her sword drawn. Once she was halfway there, Boar charged from behind to his right. Bird held his position and activated his eyes attempting to place Wolf in a genjutsu. He was shocked to see a slight glowing from behind the eyes holes in wolfs mask. His mask had a genjutsu they didn't know about to make the glow look green.

Cat was the first to approach and quickly swung sideways aiming for his ribs only for him to disappear. Boar and Cat both stopped and looked around for a second only to notice that was standing behind bird who was also looking for him.

Bird could not believe it. He had seen no chakra being molded and no movement. The small ANBU had simply disappeared. Cat called out that Wolf was behind him just in time for him to jump out of the way off a downward punch after Wolf jumped at him. The three ANBU were left wide eyed when a 15-foot-wide 3-foot-deep crater was left in his wake and he was once again gone when the dust cleared.

When the turned around he was standing in the same place as he started. The other three were starting to get unnerved he made no noise, left no indication that he had moved at all other than the crater he left from a punch. The decided to charge him all at the same time. Their teamwork in perfect sync leaving no opening. Boar would punch and Cat would follow with a slash of her sword while Bird would use Kunai and shuriken to fill any holes in the attack in order to give Wolf no opening. Bird also kept trying to put Wolf in a genjutsu every time their eyes would meet. Wolf dodged everything they through at him.

The three ANBU tried for several minutes like this before Wolf again disappeared. Looking for him the again found him facing them from his original starting position. His stance suggesting that he was not even winded or tired in the least.

With Kakashi and the Hokage

As soon as the match began and Wolf disappeared only to reappear their jaws dropped. Because even they only saw a blur. Kakashi quickly uncovered his Sharingan eye in order to better keep track of this match. They were unable to pick up their jaws when the saw the crater that Wolf made from just one punch only for him to blur back to his original position. 'Kami, he is well on his way to being as strong as Tsunade.' Thought Hiruzen. Kakashi couldn't even from a coherent thought.

When the Three ANBU attacked at once and failed for several minutes to even get a hit, Hiruzen had made up his mind that Naruto was ready for whatever mission he was going to give him. He might even consider using Naruto for some of the more dangerous missions as back up for when things go wrong. They watched Wolf blur back to his starting position only this time he was facing toward all three of them.

Back to Fight

Bird, Boar, and Cat were absolutely stunned. Not even Captain Dog was able to shrug off all three of them like that and not even be winded. They were seriously considering whether or not they would even be able to hit him let alone win. 'His speed is unreal. I can barely even see him with my Sharingan and he is emitting almost no charka. That means it's pure speed with no charka augmentation.' Thought bird as he was trying to figure out a way to win. 'His strength must be unreal to have made that crater and not even be winded even after all three of us went after him.' Thought Boar. 'He hasn't even tried to fight back or use any jutsu. It's like he is just playing with us. He's only thrown one punch." Were Cat's thoughts.

Wolf was standing in his original spot not even a speck of dirt on his cloak. "My turn" Said the deep voice of the mask. "Futon: Great Breakthrough." Wolf didn't even use hand seals. Just a quick swipe of his hand and a power gust filled with razor sharp wind blades went flying at the three ANBU. They all jumped out of the way as quickly as possible. Watching behind them you would have seen the smaller branches being sliced off the trees. He didn't want to kill them if they didn't move after all.

The three quickly realized if he didn't need hand seals for his jutsu then winning at range would be impossible. With a quick nod to each other the threw pelted the area with smoke bombs blanketing the entire are and making seeing more than a few feet impossible. After which they all went in for a three-way attack.

Cat charged through the smoke from Wolf's right and swung her sword only for it to stop. Boar came from the other side throwing a right haymaker directly at Wolf's head and felt his punch connect. Bird came straight on trying to either use a kunai to get a submission or trap Wolf in a genjutsu. Bird suddenly stopped when he felt his body lock and heard only one word. "Sleep." The smoke cleared to reveal Wolf holding Cat's sword with two fingers about six inches from his neck and blocking boars punch with one hand about six inches from his head while bird was unconscious three feet in front of him.

The two conscious ANBU Couldn't believe their eyes. 'He stopped my sword with two fingers. That's IMPOSSIBLE!' Cat screamed in her head. Boar thought were similar. 'He caught my punch with one hand. How? No one has ever been able to do that since I became a Chunin.' They then turned to notice that Bird was unconscious face-down on the ground. That small distraction was all Wolf needed.

He quickly grabbed boars fist and pulled him forward off his feet and chopped him in the back of the neck knocking him out all without letting go of Cat's sword. He then pushed the sword back twisted his body around and pulled it forward making her rush past him. On her way by he grabbed her wrist of the hand that was holding the sword twisting it so she held her own sword to her own neck and he was standing behind her. Pulling out a kunai with the other hand he held it to the other side of her neck.

"Do you surrender" He asked

"Hai" Cat responded knowing she had no way out.

With Kakashi and the Hokage

The smoke had just cleared and neither could believe their eyes. Bird was face-down on the ground out cold and Wolf was holding Cat's sword with two fingers while blocking Boar's punch with one hand. Dog knew he might be able to block Boars punch, not with one hand, but he knew there was no way he could catch Cat's sword. No could except maybe the Hokage himself. Hiruzen was having similar thoughts.

That was when they watched him knock out Boar and force cat to submit. They just added it to the list of amazing things they had seen that day. Hiruzen called the match while dog woke Boar and tried to wake Bird but was unsuccessful.

"Impressive Wolf. May I ask what you did to Bird? He won't wake." Hiruzen said

"I put him in a forced sleep genjutsu. It should wear off in a few more minutes as I didn't put too much chakra into it." He replied.

"But he is an Uchiha who was using his Sharingan at the time. How did you manage to get past that?" Asked Cat having recovered. While Boar and dog were propping Bird up against a tree.

"He has weak eyes. Madara Himself would be hard pressed to break one of my genjutsus." Wolf explained. This left all of them in shock until Dog remembered something.

"You knew. You told Bird he could try while already knowing he couldn't do it." Dog said in an accusing voice.

"Yes, yes I did. I told you this was a test. Are you finally satisfied that HE will be fine on any mission I send him on?" Answered a smug sounding Hiruzen before asking Dog his question in a serious voice.

"Hai" Was dogs only response.

Hiruzen then turned to Wolf. "What level would say you were at during the match?"

"They pushed me to about 60% sir." This again caused the three conscious ANBU's jaws to drop behind their masks. They couldn't believe that he still had that much left when they were basically going all out minus using their best jutsus. "Very good Wolf. It appears that your training program has been a success. Come with me back to my office. I will give you your mission."

Hokage's Office

They all arrived back in Sarutobi's office with Bird once again being awake. He was not happy about being told he had weak eyes but he was not going to argue with a man that put him to sleep with a genjutsu while his Sharingan was active. The three guards were surprised when they were told to stay along with dog. They had never been witness to a meeting with Wolf while it was held in the office.

"Your main mission will be to deliver Naruto Uzumaki to Jiraiya for an inspection of his seal. I know you are probably capable of this yourself but, the Yondaime's instructions clearly stated that sometime soon after his 13th birthday he is to be taken to Jiraiya for this. His instructions said that it would take an undetermined amount of time to make sure it is still functioning correctly. His estimates were between 6 and 24 months. Is that understood?"

"Hai." Wolf responded knowing he was being given a time limit.

"You will have several missions to complete while out of the village before bringing Naruto back. Should you finish your other missions early you will return to Jiraiya and stay with him and Naruto until such time as Jiraiya determines that everything is in order. Here are the scrolls. Open them only after you have made contact with Jiraiya and delivered Naruto. Is that understood?"

"Hai."

"Please retrieve Naruto Uzumaki." With that Wolf disappeared in a swirl of wind and reappeared a few minutes later with Naruto in tow the same way. Dog raised an eyebrow at this. Knowing that one of them was a shadow clone but not which. Hiruzen explained the whole thing to Naruto who the ANBU knew already knew he was a Jinchuuriki. Naruto was quite reluctant to go but after Hiruzen told him he would also be getting training as that would be part of the seals inspection he started to jump up and down and shout about being excited. Dog and Hiruzen just sweat dropped at this knowing that Naruto was really wolf and this was a shadow clone so the whole thing was merely acting.

"You will be leaving in one hour. Here is a scroll with all the supplies that you will need to get to Jiraiya's location. Wolf has been briefed on where to find him. Make sure to say good bye to anyone you wish to quickly."

"Thank you Jiji. I won't let you down. Just you watch when I come back I will be stronger than you." Said the Naruto that they were now sure was the real one before leaving with Wolf heading toward Naruto's apartment.

After a bit or a teary and somewhat confusing goodbye to Hinata and a misty eyed Anko, who try to play it off as having something in her eye but he could sense her true emotions, he was walking towards the gate keeping up the act of being excited to leave the village for the first time. The gate guard looked at the mission scroll and checked the two out while watching them walk away from the village.

Deep in a Secret Compound

A scarred, one-eyed man, was sitting behind a desk when a man with a Blank ANBU mask appeared in the room. He looked up from his paperwork to see who it was. This man was Danzo the Leader of Root.

"Report." The figure said.

"Our agent watching the gate just reported that Naruto Uzumaki has just left the village with Wolf. Wolf is reported to be taking Naruto Uzumaki to Jiraiya for an inspection of his seal and possible training to control the Kyuubi." The Root agent reported in a completely emotionless tone.

"How long ago did they leave." Danzo asked.

"They left approximately 25 minutes ago," the blank mask responded. Danzo thought it over for a minute. 'This could be the perfect opportunity for me to get my hands on that boy. If I can kill Wolf and capture the boy I should still be able to force him to submit to training. The only real question is how strong is that man. Hiruzen never lets him go on combat missions and none of the other villages know about the boy being a jinchuuriki yet otherwise he would had sent someone like Dog and Cat. Yes, I think this could work.' He mused.

"Gather 20 agents for a special assignment. You have one hour."

"Hai Danzo-sama." With that the masked man disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

One hour late Danzo was standing in front of 20 agents with Blank ANBU masks. "Your mission is to kill ANBU Wolf and bring me the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki Naruto Uzumaki. You will not fail. I will have my ultimate weapon. Go Root."

"Hai Danzo-sama" chorused 20 emotionless voices before Danzo found himself in an empty chamber.

On the Road

Naruto was wondering how long he would have to keep up this charade. His own shadow clone was really starting to annoy him by acting like he did in public when he wasn't with Anko, Hinata, or one of his other friends from the academy. He had switched with the clone so he wouldn't have to pretend to be stupid anymore.

They were about three hours out of the village when he felt he was being followed. He knew right away it was root as there were no emotions coming from them. He was pretty sure he counted 20 and Kurama confirmed. The seemed to be keeping their distance for now which unnerved him. He knew that Danzo was the one who commanded these drones but he didn't know what their purpose was being here. Although he had a good guess. He decided to wait them out for a few hours and see if the continued to follow.

As night drew near he stopped for the night to make camp and had his regular clone of himself go to sleep while he kept watch. He could feel them slowly closing in as the night got later. He now knew for sure they were planning an ambush. The may not have emotions but he could also sense intentions and all but two were aimed at killing him. The other two seemed to be wanting something in his tent. He quietly dispelled his clone so they wouldn't find anything and pretended to dose off waiting for them to make their move.

He was only kept waiting for an hour. Suddenly one dropped down to his right without making a noise, sword in hand. The rest dropped in at this time also just in case he was playing them. The first one swung for his throat. A sharp 'ting' was heard through the small clearing. Naruto had use the Asura Path to change his finger to solid metal. The ANBU simply look and his finger holding the blade three inches from his throat. His deep mask voice sounded. "I was wondering when you would show yourselves. Don't bother looking for the boy. He is well hidden from the likes of you."

The two Root who were nearest the tent looked in to see that Naruto was Indeed gone. The leader spoke up from the middle of the group. "You two find the jinchuuriki," he said pointing at the two that had looked in the tent, "he can't be far. We will take care of Wolf."

Wolf just chuckled a little before disappearing from their view and reappearing behind the two members who were instructed to look for Naruto. Quickly slicing their throats with a kunai, he asked, "does anyone else want to look for Naruto?" The Root members might have been scarred if they had any concept of fear. As it was they simply attacked. Wolf dodged left and right avoiding the first and used his ANBU sword that he had taken to carrying and started to slice through the large group. They had no hope. They had their true potential taken as emotions were the key to true strength.

Naruto quickly cut the groups numbers to one. The one who had spoken and was obviously the leader. He put his sword away and addressed him. "For what purpose, do you want Naruto?"

Silence. "Fine. We will do this the hard way." With that Wolf removed his mask to reveal he was Naruto. The Root agent had no reaction. Naruto activated his Shi no Me and asked again. This time the Root agent started to answer before his throat suddenly closed off and his hands flew to his throat. Naruto rushed him trying to knock him out before anything could happen. Unfortunately, it was too late and the Root agent passed away. Naruto started to investigate the body and found that a seal had activated in the man mouth that killed him. He couldn't tell what it was supposed to do exactly because it was mostly destroyed by it activation.

He decided to check the other bodies and sure enough all of others had it as well. From what he could tell if they said the wrong thing it would kill them. 'Must be how Danzo ensures their loyalty and makes sure nothing ever leaks out.' He thought.

After his investigation, he piled the bodies and destroyed them with a fire jutsu leaving only their masks and moved to another clearing a few miles away to finish the night leaving a shadow clone to keep watch.

Council Chambers-Next Day

Hiruzen was bored out of his mind. He couldn't believe that he really needed to be here. All the Civilian Council side did was argue about how they should have more say and how civilian building projects needed more money. The Shinobi Side was in the same boat as the Hokage. They just wanted it to be over. Hiruzen noticed something different about Danzo. He seemed almost what he would call smug. Knowing that's never a good thing he figured that he must be up to something. He didn't have to wait long to find out either.

Danzo stood, "The final order of business on today's agenda is Naruto Uzumaki." Hiruzen just groaned. He knew it had to be something. "And what pray tell is it Danzo-san?"

"It has been brought to my attention that you have sent him out of the village with only Wolf as a guard. Why were we not informed about his departure and is it wise to send him with only one guard? If our enemies knew that an 'untrained' jinchuuriki was outside his village with only a single guard, they would take that as an invitation to either kill or capture him to use him against us." Danzo finished his speech with a look that Hiruzen thought was smug.

"Well if you must know, I sent him to Jiraiya to have his seal checked for any degradation."

Before he could continue the civilians started shouting about how the seal must be getting weak and they should use this as an opportunity to either execute or banish the demon.

"SILENCE. THERE WILL BE NO TALK OF BANASHING OR EXCUTING NARUTO. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?" He got only meek nods from those who had spoken out. "Good. As I was saying part of the Yondaime's instructions were that shortly after his 13th birthday Naruto would need to be taken to Jiraiya to make sure the seal was performing like it should. He also stated that it could take between 6-24 months for a full check. The reason for this time frame was that Jiraiya would need to train him un the use of the Kyuubi's chakra in to verify that everything worked out right. Now are there any other questions?"

"Why would Jiraiya-sama want to train the demon when he could train the Uchiha-sama?" Shrieked a civilian councilor. The old kage just sighed and said "are they any questions that are not completely idiotic?" The councilor just huffed and glared at the old man but spoke no further.

"You never answered my second question. Is it wise to send him out of the village with so little protection?" Danzo thought about how he would soon have Naruto in his hidden facility and Wolf would turn up dead and he could make the old man look like a fool. What he didn't expect is that Hiruzen thought he might try something and hoped this would teach him.

"Wolf is more than adequate protection. He should have no problem with the 10-day journey to Jiraiya. If you require proof just ask my personal guards. Just yesterday before they left I had the three of them test him. He easily defeated all three at the same time. A testament to a new ANBU training program that we have been developing." Hiruzen smiled on the inside when he saw Danzo's eye narrow.

'That's why he was a non-combat agent all this time. He was using him as a decoy to see if I would jump at the first chance to capture the jinchuuriki. The 20 I sent would be hard pressed to defeat his personal guard and Wolf can defeat them with ease. You win this time Hiruzen' Danzo thought.

Sarutobi just sat there with a smug smile on the inside. He knew Danzo would try something. Too bad Danzo didn't know Naruto was really Wolf and had taken care of whoever Danzo sent himself. The meeting was adjourned and Sarutobi went back to his office to find a fox waiting for him. After dropping a scroll on his desk the fox disappeared indicating that I was one of Naruto's summons.

The fox summoning contract had been a birthday gift on his 10th from both his mom and Kurama. His mom was the only other signature on the contract. Sarutobi knew he rarely used it because he didn't want to have to answer any questions about it yet.

Reading the scroll mad him both angry and want to laugh. Angry Danzo had tried to both capture Naruto and kill Wolf and want to laugh when Danzo realized none of his men were coming back.

With Danzo- Four Days Later

We find Danzo sitting behind his desk in his secret lair waiting for any word from his squad he sent after Wolf and the Uzumaki boy. He had expected them back yesterday at the latest. He had sent another squad after the first as backup right after the council meeting in hopes that they would be successful.

It was now abundantly clear that he had truly underestimated this Wolf. As he was continuing to think about how he was going to train the jinchuuriki a Root agent appeared in front of him.

"Report!"

"We found the location of the battle. It contained large amounts of blood on the ground, 20 Root masks but no bodies. There was no sign of either target. Our attempts to track to target failed. No scent, chakra of physical trail of any kind left the scene." Upon the root member finishing Danzo dismissed him.

Danzo was now furious. It was clear that Hiruzen had not exaggerated the short ANBU's power. He would have to wait until Naruto was unguarded. Perhaps after his return he could find a way to properly kidnap him or maybe after he graduated and took a mission outside the village.

Then an idea struck him. What if he could get Naruto to come to him. What if he could make sure he offered the only path to becoming a ninja. No doubt the loud mouth boy would take it.

With Naruto-Nine Days Later

Naruto was still dressed as Wolf and kept a shadow clone out while traveling to keep up appearance until he was five days out of Konoha. After that he decided to just travel through the trees to make better time. When he met up with Jiraiya he explained the situation and how he was off to do some training away from any people so that if something happens he wouldn't hurt anyone. Jiraiya just acknowledged that it might be a good idea then told him to be careful.

Jiraiya had come back to Konoha after Naruto had revealed he knew who his parents were when he was six. He had apologized to him and showed him how to sneak into his parents' house in order to read the stuff in the library since the public one would not let him in. He made a few other trips to Konoha but had to stay away from Naruto in public. When he told Naruto, they couldn't be seen together, for his safety, he was a little depressed but after explaining why he understood. Jiraiya had been away from the village for two years now and had unknowingly created the perfect excuse for them to now know each other and be seen together. He was quite surprised at how strong Naruto was.

Naruto headed for a rather large island between the of the Land of Water and the Land of Lightning. He found that it was uninhabited and would be a good place to start his training. After a day of rest the real work would begin.

Academy-14 Days After Naruto Left

Iruka was once again doing roll call and once again Naruto did not answer when his name was called. He had been informed by the hokage that Naruto would be absent for an extended period of time but his name was not removed from the roster. He feared if he allowed that the civilians would try to say it was evidence that he had been kicked out of the ninja program and that he would never be allowed to graduate. Not that he really needed because Hiruzen had made him an ANBU but Naruto still had wanted go through promotions the right way and keep Wolf a secret.

When he called Naruto's name Kiba spoke up, "why do you keep calling that loser. It's not like he's ever coming back. He quit, plain and simple." Kiba and Naruto had never really gotten along because Naruto always had Hinata's attention and he wanted her to be his girlfriend but every time he would ask, she would politely decline while stealing glance at Naruto. Naruto and Hinata had become much closer publicly after she was banished since it wouldn't reflect badly on the Hyuuga anymore.

"His name is still on the list meaning he is still part of this class. The Hokage informed me he would be absent for an extended period of time but assured me he would not fall behind. As such I still have to take his attendance." Iruka replied.

"Then where did he go? I heard some people muttering in the market that he was exiled from the village." Asked Sakura. She despised the boy at her mother's urging and would take any chance to spread a rumor like this about him.

"He was NOT exiled!" Hinata stated firmly. While she didn't stutter in class she was usually soft spoken so this was quiet out of character for her. When everyone looked at her she tried to shrink back in her seat.

"And just how do you know that? My mother is on the council and when I asked her she just told me she wasn't allowed to say. If it wasn't true she would have said so." Sakura replied with a sneer.

"Hinata-san, do you know where Naruto is?" Iruka asked.

"I'm not allowed to tell you were he went only that he was sent to someone special for training and help with a 'condition'. But I know for certain that he was not exiled and is most certainly no dead." The way Hinata spoke took them all off guard. Her voice held none of the shy and meek tones it usually did. Iruka noticed but didn't say anything. Instead what caught his attention was the way she had said 'condition'. He decided to ask Hinata a question to see if she really knew.

"Hinata-san, what do you know of this 'condition' as you put it.?" All eyes seemed to be on either Iruka or Hinata. Her only answer was "Everything."

"I…I see ok well then we will waste no more time on this." He said before going back to roll call. The other students seemed a little confused but decided to let it go. All but one who everyone had assumed was sleeping at the time.

'What kind of condition would require Naruto to be out of the village for so long and need special training? It can't be medical. You don't train medical conditions away. It could be physical but I have never seen Naruto hurt for more than a few hours which in and of itself is weird.' After mulling things over for a few more minutes and coming up with nothing only one thought came to mind, 'Troublesome.'

'Please come home soon Naruto-kun. I miss you so much already.' Thought Hinata as Iruka got ready to begin the day's lessons. Elsewhere in the village, her thoughts were echoed by another.

A/N: There you have it. A little more action in this on. These are my first real fight scenes so try not to be to critical. Now yes Naruto is ridiculously strong but it is part of the story.

So, Like and Review let's see if anyone can guess the last girl in the harem.
