"Talking!"

'Thinking!'

"Demon!"

Into The Dark World

Naruto is sitting on his plane as it flies through the air. He remembers Tsunade calling him to head straight for Japan. From the tone of her voice it sounded like she didn't want to call him. It raises many questions, but they can be answered when he arrives.

"What?" Naruto asks the unanswered question.

Quiet has been piloting the plane since they left Boston for a few hours now. Naruto called her to pick him up and fly straight to Japan. Quiet didn't say anything since it would be a great chance to see Tsunade, Shizune, and Sakura once more.

"Baa-chan called me to come to Japan and didn't say why. So I don't know what she wants." Naruto answered the unspoken question.

Naruto looks at his right hand that is holding Didi's necklace. She gave it to him just before she died. The apostasy showed that Didi had lung cancer for years. She was dead before she hit the water. Her time was up; and she knew it. Naruto clinch the necklace in his hand before loosening his grip. He sighs before he places the necklace on him. Didi gave it to him as a gift so shall he wear it.

A few hours pass before Quiet lands the plane at Naha Airport in Okinawa, Japan. Since they didn't let Japan know before hand that they were coming they had to pay quite the sum. It didn't sit well with Naruto as he has to pay for every day that the plane sits in one of their hangers. He has the money to pay and don't have to worry about it breaking his wallet, it just caused him a headache.

"Quiet, remind me to buy a private airstrip here in Okinawa." says Naruto.

They rent a car and drove to Tsunade's clinic. It really didn't take them that long to arrive. Tsunade was waiting out in front for them. When Naruto got out of the car Tsunade gave her grandson a big hug.

"Oh, look at you! It's only been four months and you grew another two inches!" says an excited Tsunade.

Even though Tsunade doesn't want Naruto there for what's going to happen; she is still glad to see him. She didn't want Naruto to know about her past and how heartless she was, but it was only a matter of time before he would of found out.

"So how come you called me, Baa-chan?" asks Naruto

"Well, it would be better if Jiraiya. He knows more that's going on, so lets go inside and talk about it without open ears nearby." Tsunade easily answer Naruto's question.

They go inside the clinic with Shizune and Sakura taking over for Tsunade as she and Naruto head into the back. They enter the living area that is connected to the clinic. Tsunade didn't want to have a house that was too far from the clinic if an emergency came up and she needed to be there just in case.

Jiraiya is sitting on the couch going through several notes he has. He may wonder the world and write smut, but he is still a spy master. And with what's going down in Tokyo; he is looking over everything that his informants manged to gather in just a few days.

The white haired man looks up, "Ah, Naruto, you came quickly! I figured you'd wouldn't be here for another few hours," says Jiraiya

"Yeah, well Baa-chan sounded bother so it didn't want to wait. What's going on that I had to come here?" asks Naruto

"Tsunade, I think you should tell Naruto," Jiraiya says in a serious tone

"Sigh… You see Naruto, when I was younger I was a different person. I was cold and heartless. I didn't care for anyone, but for my Clan. You see, our family runs a very large Yakuza," Tsunade explains to Naruto

"You were a gangster?" Naruto replies, "I have a hard time believing that. I mean, sure you have a strong punch, but being able to command who knows how many to do what you want, when you want; I can't believe it,"

"It's true Naruto. I was a different person when I was younger. It was until I met your… grandfather; and I use the term loosely. It was shortly after I learned that I was pregnant with your father that I didn't want to live that life anymore. I didn't want Minato to learn my old life or even go gone that path; that's why I had him learn from Jiraiya,"

"That's where I come in!" Jiraiya chimes in, "You see, your grandmother and I along with another older friend were in the same organization. But unlike Tsunade, I didn't stay around that much sense I had to gather information on the other families. I left shortly after Tsunade did and traveled around the world. Then one day Tsaunde contact to met with her. When I'd arrived she introduced her son to me. You have no idea how much you look like him with your hair, Naruto,"

"Just wished that I got to meet him once," Naruto says sorrowfully

Tsunade hugs her grandson, "I know. I miss him too. I had Jiraiya train Minato so that he could defend himself if he needed too,"

"Minato was an excellent student. I was trying to get Minato into writing which he was very good at. Then one day he got a job as a fisherman and was planning to go on a fishing trip. You know what happens after that," Jiraiya says

"We're getting off topic," Tsunade says, "Back to me being former Yakuza. The Senju was always looked at as one of the most powerful when it comes to strength in the underworld. Many of the other families followed us out of respect. And when I stepped down many didn't want me to go because I lead them into what they called a golden age,"

Tsunade walks over to a cabinet that holds several different types of sake. The busty blonde takes a bottle of sake and two glasses from the cabinet and walks over to the couch. She sits down, opens the bottle, and pours herself a glass and one for Jiraiya. Of course Jiraiya takes it since its free alcohol.

Tsunade drinks the whole glass, "Sigh! I needed that! Now where was I?"

"You were talking about how you were a gangster that lead the Yakuza into greatest. Which I'm still have a hard to believing," Naruto answered

"That's right! Like I said, I left when I got pregnant and didn't want my Minato to grow up in that lifestyle. I moved here so that we wouldn't be in the way. But now…. Jiraiya, I think you should tell Naruto this part,"

"Right," Jiraiya says, "You see, since Tsunade left the Senju Clan to live a peaceful lifestyle; the Yakuza have been struggling. The Clans gather together every few years out of the old respect they use to have for one and an other. A formality, if you will. They always send a formal letter to Tsunade out of good faith to show up for the meeting, but she declines. But this year is different,"

"Different how?" Naruto asks

"You see, the leaders of each Clan shows up along with a few bodyguards and no weapons. The only ones that are even allowed to carry weapons are the bodyguards and the security force that's there. It's been like this for years and they all follow the rules. Now there are some fights every now and then. This year, the Heirs will be attending the meeting along with the Clans Heads. With the Heirs attending the Clan Heads want Tsunade to attend not just out of good faith, but also to show that they are stepping down for the next generation to take over in a few years,"

"I'm hearing a but coming along," Naruto says while trying to take the sake bottle but Tsunade slaps his hand

"You're too young to drink. And don't say that taking lives lets you!" Tsunade yelled out at Naruto

"Because they want a Senju there," Jiraiya says grabbing Naruto's attention

"But aren't there other Senju to go?" Naruto questions

"No, Naruto there isn't. You and Tsunade are the last of the Senju. Those that are in the Senju Clan now are those that joined over the years. Any that have Senju blood running through their veins are too little to count as a Senju or are dead. Tenzo who is the current Clan Head has been doing an excite job over the years, but with this; Tsunade has to go to the meeting," Jiraiya explains

"I really don't want to do this, but it has to be done. I will have to go to this meeting. That's why I called you, Naruto. I want you to come with me." Tsunade finished explaining to Naruto.

Naruto thought long and hard. He get to spend more time with his grandmother if he comes along with her. He gets to learn more about her and see how organized crime works like. Then he realize something. If Tsunade arrives at the meeting with her grandson; they'll want him to come to the meetings and not Tsunade anymore.

"You just want me to take your place!" Naruto shouted, "Once the other Yakuza know about me; they'll want me to be at the meetings and not you anymore!"

Tsunade was dumbfounded with what Naruto just said. She never thought of that, but than about she wouldn't do that to her grandson.

"Now listen here you brat!" yelled back Tsaunde, "I didn't tell you this so that you would take my place at the meetings! I did it to tell you if the other Clans found out about you before I could even tell you!"

"Calm down you two," Jiraiya says unfortunately making himself a target

"STAY OUT OF THIS!" yelled both Tsunade and Naruto

"What if I don't want to come?" Naruto asks

"I'm not saying you have to go to every meeting. Just go to this one; show them that you exist and make a clear point that you wish to stay out of their business," Tsunade explains to Naruto

"Sigh! Fine! I'll go to this meeting, but this will most likely to the only meeting that'll I'll go too,"

"That's all I ask for. The flight over to Tokyo will give us a chance to catch up with one an other. Quiet will have to stay here with Shizune and Sakura to help them around the clinic,"

"Why can't Quiet go?"

"Because Tenzo will have the bodyguards so Quiet won't be needed,"

"Alright, but if something happens and those bodyguards and the security can't do their jobs; Quiet will be arriving with a cache load of weapons!" Naruto says not budging on the terms.

It didn't take long for everything to gain way. Shizune will be taking over the clinic with the help of Sakura and Quiet while Tsunade is away. Jiraiya didn't stick around once Naruto made his decision. He went back to Tokyo to speak with his informants. With so many important people there at the meeting he has to make sure everything is there. Tsunade took this time to take Naruto shopping for a suit. She didn't want him to show up and not look informal.

The six hour flight from Okinawa to Tokyo wasn't anything worthwhile. When they walked out of the airport there is a long car waiting for them. The door to the car opens up and a man steps out of the car. He has short brown hair with dull black eyes. His face is plain like he doesn't show emotions very much.

"Tsunade-sama, it's good to see once more," greets the man

"Tenzo, you haven't change since I'd last seen you," said Tsunade, "Tenzo, this is my grandson. Naruto, this is Tezno; he is the Head of the Senju Clan after I left,"

"Ah, yes Tsunade-sama! You said that you were bringing your grandson. Greetings, I am Tenzo Senju,"

"Senju?" Naruto says with a raised eyebrow, "I thought Baa-chan and I were the only Senju left?"

"You are correct about that, but I have the same ability that Tsunade-sama's grandfather had before his passing. It was because of this ability that Tsunade-sama made me the Head of the Senju Clan and the right to have my surname changed to Senju," Tenzo explains

"Ability?"

"My grandfather could make trees around by using a form of magic. Let's bring this conversion into the car. We have much to discus." says Tsunade.

Everyone gets into the car with it driving off soon after. Tsuande and Naruto sit in the very back with Tenzo sitting in the car sit in front of them facing them. Tenzo opens the little bar to his right pouring Tsunade sake.

"Here you go Tsunade-sama Slug Sake; your favorite," says Tenzo as he hands her the cup

Tsunade takes a drink, "Sigh! I haven't had Slug Sake in a very long time!"

"Slug Sake? Is made from real slugs?" Naruto asks

"No, but the place the makes this sake also raises slugs for the locate collage that use them for the science course. When everyone found out about that, they starting to call it Slug Sake," Tsunade explains before finishing the whole cup, "Now onto business; are all of the Clans going to be there?"

"Yes, Tsunade-sama," Tenzo says, "Every Clan will be there along with the Old Guard doing the security as always,"

"Old Guard?" Naruto chimes in

"The Old Guard is the security force that's always doing the protection detail for these meetings. The meeting will take place at the same hotel. The meeting will run longer than normal since the Heirs will be there; it'll probably take up to three hours before the meeting is even finish,"

"Longer than normal, but I can see why. Are the old fossils still around" asks Tsuande

"You mean the Elders? Then yes, they are still around," answered Tenzo, "Danzo has been pushing for war with those that aren't part of the Clans,"

"Figures! Danzo is going to either die with his ways, or causes so much damage he'll be killed. Naruto, I want you to be careful around the man named Danzo. Do not trust him. That old fool is a warmonger that wants blood everywhere," Tsunade says with clear hate in her voice

"Got ya', Baa-chan!" Naruto simply says.

They soon arrived at the hotel in downtown Tokyo. Both Tsunade and Naruto change into more formal clothing. While Naruto went with a black suit with a dark orange button-up shirt with a black tie; Tsunade went with a simple formal kimono with the Senju Clan seal on the back.

After they changed they were quickly searched for weapons by the security at the hotel, the Old Guard. They found a knife on Naruto which they took and told him that he can get it back when the meeting was over. Naruto watched the Old Guard move, how they walk, how they talked, and how they carried themselves. There was no wasted movement. Every step, every turn, every breath was timed perfectly. Each of the Old Guard is clearly former military and not just the regular military; the special forces kind.

One elevator ride later and the three find themselves on the twentieth floor. With several people waiting in the hallway. Most of them are around Naruto's age with a few that are clearly bodyguards.

"Naruto," Tsuande says, "Tenzo and I are going to head inside where the meeting is taking place. Wait here till we call you in,"

"Yes, ma'am." Naruto replies.

oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Inside Tenzo let Tsunade to take his sit. The busty blonde gets comfortable in the very soft leather chair. She looks over at each and every Clan Head that is there.

Akimichi Choza the Head of the Akimichi Clan, is a long man with reddish-brown hair that is like a mane. He has a swirl marking on both of his cheeks. He is wearing a formal kimono that fits him perfectly even though it looks a little loss.

Hyuga Hiashi the Head of the Hyuga Clan, is a stoic man that is wearing a traditional formal kimono that was made just for him. He has long straight brown hair with white eyes that makes it like he is blind.

Sarutobi Hiruzen the Head of the Sarutobi Clan, is one of the oldest people in the room. With a reseeding hair line and a goatee that are graying. Unlike the rest that are sitting at the large table Hiruzen is sitting at the head of the table.

Yamanaka Inoichi the Head of the Yamanaka Clan, is the swore man out of the group. He is the only one with blonde hair showing that he is half-Japanese with his hair in a high ponytail.

Mifune the leader of the Old Guard, Mifune is one of the oldest people in the room. He has bandages wrapped around his head with long gray hair that is running down his back. It shows that he doesn't sleep much with the bags under his eyes.

Aburame Shibi the Head of the Aburame Clan, Shibi is the oddball of the group. He is wearing a formal kimino with a large baggy jack with a hood over his head along with a pair of sunglasses covering his eyes.

Nara Shikaku the Head of the Nara Clan, Shikaku is the only one that is trying to go to sleep. His hair is in a style that looks like a pineapple, a goatee, and two scars running across his face.

Inuzuka Tsume the Head of the Inuzuka Clan, Tsume has thick wilder brown hair, dark eyes, and two red fang tattoos on both of her cheeks.

Shimura Danzo the Head of the Shimura Clan, is an another odd one of the group. He is wearing a black kimino with his right arm in a sling and bandages wrap around his head covering his right eye. Danzo is one of the oldest people in the room.

Mitokado Homura the Head of the Mitokado Clan, Homura has gray hair and a gray bread with green rimmed glasses. Just like Hizuzen, Mifune, and Danzo is one of the oldest people in the room.

And Utatane Koharu the Head of the Utatane Clan, Koharu has her hair pulled back into two balls that are held together by a needle. Just like the others Koharu is one of the oldest people in the room.

Each and every Clan is there attending the meeting. It shows just how important this meeting is to everyone.

"It's good to see you after so many years, Tsunade," spoke Hiruzen

"I didn't want to come, but Jiraiya in a sense forced me," replied Tsunade

"I believe we should get the meeting start," spoke up Mifune, "This meeting has a lot with the Heirs being here, so let's move along,"

"I think we should talk about the rumor in the grape vine with Tsunade having a grandson," says Danzo before anyone else

"Really?" Choza with clear joy in his voice, "Minato finally had a kid? That means he'd survived! Where is he? And his wife?"

"Minato…" Tsunade sighs, "Minato isn't alive. He died before Naruto was born and Naruto's mother died a few years ago,"

"Oh…" Choza lose all happiness.

He was looking forward to see an old friend after so many years. While Tsunade didn't want Minato to do anything with the Clans that didn't mean he made a few friends with them.

"Will your grandson be taking over Tenzo's position as Clan Head of the Senju Clan?" asked Hiashi

"No," Tsunade answered, "Naruto is just here because I called him here. He was in America… studying,"

"Really? I figure he would be living with you since both of his parents are gone," Danzo says, "He couldn't of been in Jump City, then in Boston afterwords, now would he?"

This sent alarms going off in Tsunade's head. Only a few people knew where Naruto is located at any one time. The blonde only knew that Naruto was in Boston as he called her to say hello and talked for a few minutes before hanging up. If Danzo could find Naruto, then who knows who could be watching her grandson.

"What are you saying, Danzo?!" yelled Tsunade, "What my grandson does not…"

Unfortunately Tsunade didn't get to finish her agreement when the sound of a gun going off came from the hallway outside of the meeting room.

oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Naruto watched as his grandmother and Tenzo go inside the meeting room. He looks around at the other people in the hallway. On the way to the hotel Tenzo made sure that Naruto knew everyone was and what family they came from so he doesn't cause a scene.

Naruto closes his eyes and opened up his negative emotion ability. Normally Naruto wouldn't open and uses this ability in heavy population areas because of the so many people there. So many negative emotions from everyone made him sick to his stomach. With lots of practice the blonde is able to focus this ability down to just the hallway. All types of emotions hit Naruto.

Aburame Shino, Heir to the Aburame Clan. Just like his father; Shino is wearing a formal kimono with a large jacket out with a hood over his head and a pair of sunglasses covering his eyes.

Akimichi Choji, Heir of the Akimichi Clan. Choji is quite large with his long brown hair slick back. He too has swirl markings over both of his cheeks and is wearing a large formal kimono over his large body.

Hyuga Hinata, Heiress of the Hyuga Clan. Hinata has long dark hair with a blue-tint to it that reflex her pale skin along with her white eyes that has a lavender-tint to them. She is wearing a beautiful purple kimono that has flower patterns on it.

Inuzuka Kiba, Heir Candidate of the Inuzuka Clan. Kiba just like his mother has wild brown hair with red fang tattoos on both of his cheeks. Instead of wearing a formal kimono, Kiba is wearing a suit.

Inuzuka Hana, Heiress Candidate of the Inuzuka Clan. Unlike her mother and brother who have a wild appearance, Hana does not. Her hair is pulled back into a ponytail with red fang tattoos on both of her cheeks.

Nara Shikamaru, Heir of the Nara Clan. Shikamaru has his hair styled like a pineapple. Just like Kiba, Shikamaru is wearing a suit instead of a formal kimono.

Yamanaka Ino, Heiress of the Yamanaka Clan. Ino has long blond hair in a ponytail with bangs covering her right eye which are greenish-blue. She is wearing a dark purple kimono.

Shimura Sai, Heir of the Shimura Clan. Sai is the oddball of the group. He has pasty white skin with black hair and dull black eyes. He is wearing a suit than a kimono.

Naruto knows that this isn't all of the Heirs. There are a few that are missing because they are too young or had a falling out with the current Head. The Sarutobi Heir isn't here because he doesn't want anything to do with the Yakuza for not wanting to be the next head to a crime organization. Next he sees that Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji are sticking together because simply put their Clans have been allies for generations. But what really catches Naruto's attention is Kiba and Hana. For years the Inuzuka is a Clan that is lead through women; in the last few years some of the younger members of the Clan has been pushing for a male to take the role of Clan Head.

The blonde looks around to see the bodyguards that were brought. The Old Guard stand at the ends of the hallway. Two at each door openly showing the weapons they are carrying. Control burst rifles that are small enough to use in buildings that don't get in the way by going around corners. But unfortunately something else catches Naruto's eye.

"C'mon, Hinata!"

A bodyguard that the Hyuga Clan has outsource for this meeting. The Clans are encourage to outsource during the meetings to get new members and to see if over time they are what the Clans are looking for. By his posture, his bleach blond hair, the stubble on his chin that he is clearly trying to grow a soul patch, and the suit that isn't the formality it shows he's just another person that's just acting tough.

"Chaka-san, please," Hinata spoke softly, "You can't be disrespectful during this meeting. It'll look bad for the Hyuga Clan. You are already on thin ice as it is with Father,"

"Like I care about that old timer!" Chaka snarls out, "My father will make sure that never happens. Now come on, why don't we go somewhere where it's just us?"

Clearly showing that Hinata isn't very comfortable with the situation. None of the Old Guard or other bodyguards weren't moving. It showed weakness if a Clan had to ask another Clan for help that they could resolve themselves.

'Sigh! Looks like I will have to step in before he does something that he will regret. And that look in his eye says he's willing to take it too.' Naruto thought to himself as he makes his way over to both Hinata and Chaka.

"Excuse me," Naruto says catching the attention of Hinata's and of Chaka's, "Can you clearly not see that the lady isn't comfortable?"

"Huh?" Chaka turned around, leans forward with his hands in his pockets, "What did you say bastard?"

"You're an idiot you know that? Causing this commotion during this meeting shows that you are weak and stupid,"

"You punk! Think you something big just because you came in with the Senju? Huh, about this?"

Chaka lift his jacket up showing off his holster with a Smith & Wesson Model 29, otherwise known as the .44 Magnum. While to some it would intimate, but to Naruto it was just a show. Acting quicker than Chaka could react Naruto grabs and takes the .44 Magnum. Now with that hand cannon in his hand Naruto can see that the barrel is 7.5" long with a full-length under lug for increased stability and recoil reduction. Naruto has to say it is impressive.

"My, this is made for killing; not for hurting," stated Naruto

Dumbfounded that his gun was taken, "Give! Give it back!" demanded Chaka

"Why would I do that?" questioned Naruto, "You were flashing it around like you owned the place. Clearly you don't understand the power behind this 'gun' you have. And I used that term lightly,"

"Like you know anything about guns!" Chaka exclaims

"Know anything about guns?" Naruto says with an emptiness in his voice, "The rifle was made for the solo purpose of taking a life. Have you ever empty entire magazine into a village because they didn't want to follow you? Did you have to fight older and more experience soldiers knowing full well that this could be your last day on this planet? You don't understand the value you have with this in your hand; so I shall show you."

With that being said Naruto didn't hesitant. The sound of thunder echoes throughout the hallway along with a scream soon after. Chaka is rolling on the floor holding his right leg up as blood is coming out of his kneecap. It didn't take long for the doors from the meeting room to swing open.

"NARUTO!" yelled out Tsunade

"He started it!" Naruto quickly pointing the finger at Chaka

"What is going on?" demands Mifune, "And why didn't any of my men stop you?"

"Sir!" one of the guards spoke up, "We watched the whole thing. Senju had the situation under control. If it looked like it was getting out of hand we would've stepped in, Sir,"

"Tsunade-dono, why don't we all take a small break to find out what really happened?" suggested Mifune

"That will do fine." Tsunade answered.

-Senju Clan-

"Naruto tell me what happened?" Tsunade asks once more

"That guy was mussing with Hinata I think her name was; he kept on going on and on. She looked uncomfortable and was trying to make him stop, but I know that type. He would of kept pushing till he did something that would of ended badly," Naruto finished explaining to his grandmother

Rubbing her forhead, "And you had to shoot him in the kneecap?"

"Yup!" Naruto says quickly and with a smile, "He's lucky I didn't take what made him a man!" Tenzo just sweatdrop at that comment, "Oh! I'm keeping the hand cannon."

-Ino-Shika-Cho Group-

Since all three Clans are close allies they gathered together since the other Clans went their own ways.

"Sigh! Let's hear what happened. Shikamaru, you go first since you probably put everything together faster," Shikaku

"What a drag! Fine. The same bodyguard that the Hyuga Clan has been having problems with is here and was bothering Hinata once more," Shikamaru explained

"It was getting worse. It's only a matter of time before Chaka did something to Hinata," Ino cuts in

"So the Senju stepped in and ended it?" questioned the Head of the Nara Clan

"Sounds just like what Minato would do. I can see him in his son," stated Choza

"There was another thing that I did notice," Shikamaru says gathering the attention of everyone else, "The look in the Senju's eye. It reminded me of the eyes of the Old Guard. The eyes of someone whose seen combat and not the good kind."

-Hyuga Clan-

"Hinata, I need to know what happened. I need to know why you didn't do anything to to prevent this. The Clan will now look weak to the other Clans because Senju had to step in," demands Hiashi

"I… I know Father. Chaka was acting up again in front of the other Heirs this time. I tried to stop him, but he was pushing more and more…" mutters Hinata

"Chaka again? This time he is finished! I don't care if his father is a member of the Clan; this could of ended badly for us!"

"What will you do Father?"

"Simple, Chaka will no longer work for the Hyuga Clan and if his father pushed for him to stay; well something bad will happen to the both of them." Hinata nods, "How did the Senju handle the situation?"

"He… He handle the situation with a leveled head. Pushing Chaka's buttons just enough that he acted first and was able to use self-defense as a means to justified his actions." Hinata stated.

-Inuzuka Clan-

"So what you think of the Senju, pups?" asks Tsume

"He handle the situation like an alpha," Hana quickly stated

Smirking, "Oh? What to mark your territory already huh Hana?" teases Tsume

"N- No!" the Heiress denies, "I mean he handle the situation like it should have been held,"

"I could of done that if I wanted too," Kiba quickly says

"Oh, really? Then why didn't you step in and help Hinata when you could of?" Tsume asks with a frown, "Actions speak loud than words. Keep that up and Hana will be the next Clan Head. Hana pulls ahead of you Kiba." Tsume says that ends the conversion with Kiba gritting his teeth.

-Aburrame Clan-

"The Senju acted quickly and effectively. No moves were wasted and it showed that the Senju knew how to control the bodyguard to make him a threat," Shino stated to his father

Shibi nods his head, "Good. This shows that the Senju has an Heir that will lead them to greatness like Tsunade lead them before."

-Shimura Clan-

"Sai, how did Senju do?" asked Danzo

"He showed no mercy. The eyes of a killer." Sai answers

Danzo smirks, 'It seems that Mother was right with this one. Deathstroke has created the ultimate soldier. What was his training method that made the Senju so strong?'

-Old Guard-

Mifune nods his head to the report from his men. He can say it was a nice change of pace when one of the Heirs do something new. These are different from the Clan Heads from when they were Heirs. The Clan Heads knew when to fight and when to back down, but new Heirs didn't know that and just follow the rules; sometimes rules have to be broken. The old samurai couldn't wait to see what else this young man can do.

-Elders-

"Such disrespect!" exclaims Koharu

"This generation doesn't understand what we did for them to have what they do," Homura says agreeing with Koharu

"There are traditions that have to be followed!"

"What are you two saying? It's a nice change of pace," Hiruzen, "To stand up for someone in the time of need shows character,"

"Sarutobi, you needn't be so quickly to let things slide. He clearly shot a bodyguard that wasn't doing anything. Even if he was; it was not his right to step in other Clans businesses!" shouted Koharu

"Really now? If I'd remember correctly you tried to have Tsunade disbarred because she didn't followed tradition, Koharu," Hiruzen points out, "Those that don't charge are doomed to die; remember that Koharu."

oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

After everything was said and done the Heirs were brought into the meeting room. The Clan Heads took their sits with the Heirs standing behind them. Naruto quickly lost interest in the meeting as soon as it started. He looks around the room. The first thing he notices that everyone would look at him every now and then. When ever Hinata looks at Naruto her cheeks become red and quickly looks away.

"Sigh!" Shikaku draws everyone's attention to him, "I think we need to address the elephant in the room. Naruto, where did you learn to shoot?"

Naruto walks from behind Tsunade. He walks over to the window to look at the night sky with the lights from the other buildings and the cars below. Then takes out his new gun to begin spinning and twirling it in his hand. It was something he learned from Slade to show flash when putting his guns away.

"War changes people. My mother wanted me to live a life without the need of picking up a sword," that comment draws everyone's attention, "It changes you from someone who sees the world of light to a world of darkness. The world is a very cruel place; I know from first hand experience."

He walks around the large table that everyone is sitting at. He circles them like a shark waiting for his prey to show fear, to show weakness before devouring the prey whole. Flashes from his memories during his time in Liberia are still there in the bad of his mind. The things that he'd done cannot be forgiven no matter how much he wishes. But Naruto doesn't want forgiveness. To forgive is to forget. And that is the very last thing that he'd ever wish to happen. The blonde stops back in front of the windows.

"You learn quickly to shot when your very life is on the line. When a barrel is staring right in front of your face and a bullet fixing to find its place in your skull; survival kicks in."

Just as Naruto finished saying that a bullet hits the glass in front of him. The bullet doesn't break the glass, but does crack it. Everyone in the room jump but for a few.

A few buildings away sits Deadshot looking through his scope, "Well shit! Didn't think the glass would be this thick!"

The assassin molls in his mind about taking another shot. The first bullet cracked the glass and a second would most likely break it, with a third bullet taking out his target. Though the sniper stares at the blonde staring right back at him; like he knew were he would be located.

'That's impossible!'

Naruto stares at the bullet. He doesn't know if the bullet was meeant for him, for his grandmother who is sitting behind him, or Sarutobi Hiruzen who is sitting in front of Tsunade. What Naruto does know that the sniper will probably try to shoot again since the glass has weakened. Acting quickly Naruto unloads the rest of the bullets in his gun into the weakened glass; shattering it. The Old Guard rushes everyone out of the room as Naruto leaps out of the window with out any hesitation.

Deadshot is dumbfounded. He just saw a fourteen year ago shoot the weaken glass out, then jumps out of the window. Because of this he missed the rest of the Clan Heads and Heirs being rushed out of the room.

"Damn that brat! What in the world is he thinking?!" Deadshot shouted.

'This is my dumbest thing that I'd every did…' Naruto thought as he falls through the sky, "I hope this works!'

The pavement coming closer and closer towards Naruto. He pushes his mind. A clear image of his mother stand with chains shooting out of her back. The blonde figures that she could do that; why could he? So here he is; falling to his death with the sole purpose of trying to make chains to come out of his back just like his mother did. Make it or break it.

Two chains burst out of Naruto's back that pierce the side of the building. The sudden stop caused Naruto to hit the side of the building pretty hard.

'That cracked a rib!' shouted in his mind.

Deadshot seeing that the rest of his targets are no longer there he disassemble his sniper rifle. In all his years he never thought he would miss someone with a stupid stunt that they pulled. Sure Batman made him miss his targets because he'd stop him before pulling the trigger, but this was different. The assassin finished gathering his things and walks out of the room and down the hallway over to the elevator.

He waits for the elevator to arrive to the floor that he is on. When the door opens up Deadshot is punched in the face siding him across the hallway into a wall. Standing there in the elevator is none other than Naruto.

"Hi there, bitch!" Naruto says.

-Flashback-

Biting his lip in pain from hitting the side of the building with easily a crack or broken rib. Naruto pushes through the pain. He grabs one of the chains coming out of his back, place his feet on the building, and hops up and down gaining distance from the building.

With each hop the distance increases to the point that one of the chains came out out of the concrete. Acting quickly the blonde throws the chain as it pierces another building. The other chain loosen and Naruto swings over to the other building, but before he arrived at the other building a chain flies through the air and into another building. He repeats the process over and over again to the building that the sniper fired from. Seeing no need to slow his speed; Naruto jumps through a window and proceeds to the elevator.

-Flashback End-

Dazed Deadshot swear that punch felt like a punch from Batman. Naruto grabs Deadshot, lifts him up and slams him into the glass which cracks from the impact.

"Who hired up!" demands Naruto

"I don't say who pay me to kill," answered Deadshot

"Wrong answer!"

Naruto slams Deadshot against the glass which scatters it. The blonde holds the assassin out of the window.

"Now tell me!" demands Naruto once more

"Really kid? Batman does this,"

"Who the hell is Batman?"

"Wait! You don't know who Batman is?" says a shocked Deadshot.

This was a first. Most people in the world knows about Batman, the Dark Knight of Gotham. Around the whole underworld is afraid of the Dark Knight. And yet here is someone who never heard of the Batman; a kid no less.

"Kid, you are holding me up like Batman does to criminals in Gotham,"

"I heard of Gotham; that's for sure. Is Batman one of these heroes that the world is growing to know?"

"Yes, there are many. How do you not know this? Your fourteen! There are many heroes like Superman, Green Lantern, the Flash, Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl,"

"What was that?!"

"Hawkgirl? I know right? She's a woman yet they call her Hawkgirl; why not Hawkwoman?"

"No not that! Wonder Woman! Who's Wonder Woman!"

"Wonder Woman? Look kid you have great taste, but she's too old for you. She's from Themyscira."

Naruto's eyes widen. Wonder Woman was, is a title given to the only best Amazon on all of Themyscira. He remembers that his mother Kushina could of gotten that title if she wanted. That means one of the Amazons left Themyscira and walked into Man's World. But which one?

"Tell me who is Wonder Woman!" Naruto demands

"Look kid, first you wanted to know who hired me; now you want to know who Wonder Woman is? Make up your mind will ya'?"

"My arms are getting tired. From this distance and height will kill you die from impact."

Deadshot looks right into Naruto's eyes. He can see that he means it. This fourteen year old will drop him with out any hesitant. He has eyes of a soldier. Floyd Lawton knows that if he dies then his daughter will lose all the money that he saved for her. So the best shooter in the world decided to break a few of his rules to live another day.

"Fine I'll tell you want you want to know, but you have to bring me in. If you don't and let me go; well you won't learn a damn thing from me. So do we have a deal?" asks Deadshot

growling, "Fine!" Naruto brings Deadshot back into the building but kept his hands on Deadshot's collar, "Now tell me what I want to know!"

"I was hired by Utatane Koharu to kill Senju Tsunade at the meeting,"

"You lie!" shouted Naruto

"No, I don't. Yes I am a liar, but when it comes to those that hire me; I never lied. Utatane Koharu hired me to kill Senju Tsunade over something that happened nearly forty years ago before me time and yours,"

"Now tell me about Wonder Woman? Who is she? What's her name!"

"Why do you want to know her name? The only thing that the world knows about Wonder Woman is that she's from Themyscira. She acts as an ambassador by the name of Diana of Themyscira."

The words hit Naruto like a sack of bricks. His childhood friend had become Wonder Woman. Became something that his mother didn't want. Naruto let go of Deadshot and takes a few steps away from the assassin.

"Diana… You became what you wanted to be. But why are you here? In Man's World?" questions Naruto.

It was forbidden for Amazons to leave Themyscira unless there was some event that could cause the end of the world. It doesn't help that Naruto doesn't watch any type of news to know whats happening out in the world.

"That's it? You're going to let me go? Just like that?" questioned Deadshot

"Of course. I can't call the police because of my family. I could kill you, but then you wouldn't know that you are indebted to me,"

"Really? I'm indebted to you? How?"

"Simple, I could of let you die." Naruto simple stated.

oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Naruto sighs as he walks through the crowd of people lost in thought. Diana is out and off of Themyscira. She became Wonder Woman that she always dreamed of. He should be happy for his friend, but he can't let go that she is out there.

A hand comes out of the darkness from an alleyway that drags Naruto into. A strong fist meets the blonde's face. A sharp pain thums through his ribs as the crack rib is now a broken rib. He leans against the wall. It hurts the breath because of a broken rib, but it wasn't a new thing. He looks up to see a figure standing in front of him wearing a uniform that is all white with a few gray here and there. A mask covers half of the figures fce with two tubs going into the mask with a white hood over his head.

"Who… Who are you?" Naruto asks

"What? You don't remember my punches? I'm hurt!" says the figure.

That voice! The voice is so familiar. The punches do feel familiar, but then again he has been punched a lot so it's kind of hard to remember all the punches that he received.

"You should remember me after all; I did torture you in Tibet,"

"David Cain!"

Naruto throws a punch at the man, but Cain easily catches his arm and breaks it.

"I don't know what the Master saw in you all those years ago,"

"Fuck you!"

A sharp kick meets Naruto's stomach causing him to puke up what's in his stomach along with some blood.

"Pussy!" mutters Naruto.

Cain grabs Naruto by the head and knees him in the face which breaks his nose.

"Is that the best that you got? Master Shive hit harder than you, and she's a woman!"

Anger wash over David. Shiva has always hated him ever since he killed her sister all those years ago. She hated him with all of her fiber for not only taking her sister away, but also her daughter that they had together. And now here is her student that is pushing him. Showing him disrespect.

"I'm to enjoy this far more then I should," said David

"Bring it bitch!"

oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Floyd walks down the street with a slight stumble. He'd spent the last two hours drinking to forget tonight. If he knew what he would of face tonight he would of demanded either double the pay or passed it to the next assassin. He stops when he hears a moan. He looks down the alleyway before making his way down it. There laying on the cold ground is Naruto beaten and bloody.

"Cough! Great you!" moans out Naruto

"You look like shit. What happen to you? Need help to get to a hospital?"

"No… Take me to… a park… Make sure that no one sees…" Naruto mange to say before passing out.

Floyd picks up the boy and carries him to the closes park. It was a good thing that the park is mostly empty with hardly anyone out. He places Naruto down onto the ground.

Slapping his face that wakes him up, "Hey! What do you want me to do?" asks Floyd

"Dig a hole and put me in it…" mutters Naruto

"Why?"

"Just do it!" Naruto yelled out.

Floyd starts to dig a hold in the ground. Naruto lays there thinking about what he is going to do. He can't go to a hospital because they will take too long to heal him with his injures. Along with the fact that David would most likely find him and finish the job. Even with his healing ability has its limits and Cain knows this.

"There! Now what?"

"Put me in the hole. I'll do the rest."

Floyd picks up Naruto once more and place him into the hole. Naruto grabs a hand full of dirt.

"Gaea, I pray to you. Grant me your strength. You are the Earth who suckled me, who nurtured and bred me. Through you all life is renewed. The circle which never ends. I pray you, mother Gaea, take me into your bosom. Please, let me be worthy." Naruto prays.

The dirt moves on its own as it takes Naruto. He slowly becomes one with the soil; burying him. Floyd is dumbfounded to what he just saw.

"I think I drank too much."

-Author's Note-

I know this chapter took long then it should and I'm sorry for that, but nothing came to me. Everything that I wrote didn't feel right and it still doesn't, but I'll take what I can get. Can't get a great chapter every time. I will be taking a break on A Stroke of Death. There has been some ideas to other stories that I want to try. Once I get them out I'll finally post a chapter for Brave New World. I was working on my Naruto/Pokemon story Fire Fox Trainer because Ash made it to Kalos Finals, then I lose all hope when he didn't win.
