A/N
Ok everyone here's the next chapter; sorry for the delay there were issues with school, my laptop, and a whole lot of other crap.
Sorry for the cliffy last time. It had been my wish to stop using cliffhangers as often. However, I had to split musing and mayhem into 2 chapters.
Chapter 4: Musing and Mayhem Part: 2
As the brick sailed towards Anko's waiting hand a demonic snarl rent the air. The brick hadn't made it another foot when there was the deafening sound of twisting metal before the brick was slapped out of the air with such tremendous force that it disintegrated scattering in a cloud of red dust. A moment later the dust settled revealing Naruto crouched on all fours in front of Anko, his tails billowing angrily behind him and his lips drawn back over his teeth in a menacing snarl.
'What the hell!?' Anko thought, 'No way, how in the nine circles of hell did he break through Hokage-sama's barrier?' But at that moment Naruto bent back on his legs and Anko's eyes went wide as she realized what was about to happen. "Oh shit! ALL OF YOU RUN!" she roared, frantically waving her hands to try and prompt some kind of action.
But it was to late, even as she yelled to them to flee Naruto launched forward cutting a path of limbs and gore through the crowd.
"BACK UP! I NEED BACK UP!" Anko shrieked into her radio while grabbing a random villager and carrying them a safe distance from the massacre-in-progress.
"Acknowledged, who do you need and where should I send them?" answered a voice as Naruto turn for another pass through the mob.
"The Hokage and every available Jounin or active ANBU in the village! Location is one klick north by northeast of Training Area 42!"
"Holy shit what the hell is going on down there!"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
Moments later
As Naruto continued to slaughter the mob three ANBU squads arrived looking to Anko for instructions.
"Get as many people out of here as you can then try to subdue the boy," she commanded as the men (and women) nodded then proceeded with the evacuation. As Anko set down another villager she turned to see the Third dashing toward her.
"What happened?" he demanded as he saw, and heard, Naruto hurl a man into a tree shattering both wood and bone with a sickening crunch.
"To tell the truth I'm not sure," she said as one of the villagers went flying into the trees behind her. "One minute he was playing in his cage then this crew showed up. I was gonna get rid of them but one chucked a brick, next thing I know...well," she motioned helplessly toward the chaos unfolding around them.
Nodding Sarutobi began moving toward Naruto. "Ok, continue with the evacuation. I will do what I can to distract him, once the civilians have been moved to a safe distance you and the others organize to assist me."
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
'Fools,' he thought to himself as he approached Naruto. 'They should have known better than to harass him like this,' he continued as he did his best to distract the boy.
As Naruto sped toward yet another of the offending villagers a man moved in front of him blocking his path. For a split second, he readied his talons to carve through the fool when he saw the man's face and simply bobbed to the side brushing past the Hokage and continuing toward his target.
Twice more the Sandaime attempted to block Naruto's path and both times Naruto simply brushed past him sparing little more than a glance.
'He's ignoring me,' the old shinobi realized. 'Does he believe I'm not a threat?' he wondered, his pride slightly battered that a nine-year-old might consider him such. 'How ironic that I spent years gaining his trust only to end up needing him to feel threatened,' he thought, snickering derisively to himself. Then a thought struck him, 'Wait I could-'
Not even bothering to finish his thought Sarutobi barreled toward Naruto's retreating form. Channeling chakra into his hand he chopped Naruto's neck with enough force to send the child into a comma (so Naruto would most likely be out for ten minutes... if that) only to have his hand pass through thin air.
'Shit where'd he go!?' the aged Hokage wondered, frantically glancing around to find Naruto in a defensive crouch a few meters away staring at him. 'He's confused?' It was more of a question than a statement, why was he- 'He doesn't understand why I'm attacking him,' he realized sadly as a painful tightness settled in his chest. But as Naruto turned away Sarutobi remembered what he was there to do and, steeling himself, he brought his hands up and began flashed through several seals at blinding speeds. "Katon: Housenka no Jutsu" he whispered before sending a barrage of fireballs at Naruto or rather at the area around him and in front of him to force him to change his course.
A wonderfully effective plan under "normal" circumstances. However, the ninjutsu proved completely pointless when Naruto just ran through them as easily as if they were raindrops.
'Wow I must be going senile, he's host to a high-level fire spirit you old fool,' he scolded himself even as he proceeded to send the book, wait make that the library, at Naruto. Kage Shuriken, Kage Bunshin, Doton, Raiton, Suiton, Futon it didn't make a difference, granted they still did damage when they hit but each time Naruto just shrugged it off... well in the case of Earth wall and the Water Barrier he went through them but the results were the same. Now the "Professor" only had one Ace left.
Making a string of handseals Sarutobi slammed his palm into the ground, "Enma!" and as the smoke cleared there stood his greatest ally in all his majesty but that was not what made the Third sigh in relief; Naruto had stopped dead and was now starring warily at the monkey king. 'Hm, so he considers Enma a threat... interesting, perhaps it has something to do with Enma not being human?'
"Yes, Sarutobi? What is it? Did you finally come to your senses and change your mind about Orochimaru?" the elder summon inquired.
"No this is... it's about Naruto," Sarutobi explained tonelessly.
"Oh?" asked the monkey summon now very curious as to what ingenious prank the hyper little blond could have pulled off that would require his services. For the first time, he turned to survey his surroundings, eyes going wide with alarm before they fell on the young jinchuuriki and his gaze turned to one of sad realization. "I'll ask what happened later; do I have to kill him?"
"Only if we can't subdue him," the Sandaime replied sadly, a tight ball of pain growing in his throat.
For several minutes Sarutobi and Enma occupied the majority of Naruto's attention while the ANBU and Jounin cleared out what remained of the mob. Then, their task finished, they too joined the fight capture the boy... none of those present wanted to think about what they would have to do if they couldn't. Fortunately, Naruto didn't seem interested in harming any of the ninja so much as getting past them to the escaping civilian. Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming concentration it took to fight the nine-year-old jinchuuriki none of them noticed the new presence in the clearing until it was too late.
"Naruto-Kun!?"
Glancing toward the source of the noise the Third's eyes widened in horror as he saw a young girl staring at the battle from the edge of the clearing. Several of the Anbu began to yell at her to run, several even attempted a Shunshin to get to her but it was already too late.
TWUMP!
Hinata was thrown to her back as Naruto pounced on her and as he crouched there perched on her chest as the entire clearing held its breath...

End Notes
A thousand apologies for how long this chp took everyone this one is a big set up for the rest of the story so I had to be really careful as to how I worded everything and what I revealed.
On an entirely different note thanks for all of the encouragement but I would really prefer constructive reviews. That's really what I was asking for last time sorry if I confused you.
Muse Rant
ALL OF YOU GET YOUR MINDS OUT OF THE GUTTER!
Oh ya I know how some of you think: Naruto's Perched on Hinata's chest… this is a NaruxHina… STOP RIGHT THERE PERVERTS. Granted that's what I wanted to happen but Delta Vetoed it *mumbles incoherent obscenities under his breath*
They are nine you know, they still think you get cooties from kissing
You no fun
I'm lots of fun, I'm just a different kind of fun
You do realize how that sounds?
And you wonder why I call you a pervert?
Cliff Notes
1. Katon: Housenka no Jutsu (Fire style: Phoenix Fire technique)- the user spits multiple fireballs
2. Shunshin (body flicker)- a technique used to move at incredible speed ranging from blindingly fast to instantaneous.
