"Nice to beat you." sneered Raiga.

Naruto looked at Raiga.

Raiga looked at Naruto.

Naruto looked back.

Raiga cleared his throat. "This is the part where you start laughing at my joke."

"What joke?"

"The one I just made."

"You made a joke?"

"Yeah."

"Really?"

"Yeah, idiot. "Nice to beat you." that was my joke."

"…"

"Start laughing, bitch." snarled Raiga.

"Why?"

"Because I made a joke."

"So?"

"You are supposed to laugh at funny jokes."

"But that joke wasn't funny."

"FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKER!"

That was when Gato woke up. He stared at the two shinobi in his bedroom, and immediately ran to the fire escape. Except it wasn't really running. He was kind of waddling like a penguin, the big fatass tyrant. Naruto was so focused on the A-rank nukenin in front of him, he didn't notice.

Raiga charged at Naruto swinging his two twin blades, KIba. Naruto hefted his katana, and deflected the two blades. He then formed twenty shadow clones without signs. The swordsman's eyes widened as he saw solid clones. "Interesting." he muttered. He rapidly performed hand seals, and yelled "Kirigakure no Jutsu (Art of Hidden Mist)." A thick mist permeated the air, and Naruto couldn't see a foot in front of him. He felt his clones dying, and he hastily formed hand seals. "Futon: Daitoppa (Wind Style: Great Breakthrough)!".

Suddenly, the mist disappeared, and Naruto saw that Raiga was fighting his last five clones. Naruto smiled and performed the new jutsu that Itachi had taught him. "Katsu." he said, and the clones exploded, sending Raiga crashing into the wall. Where he turned into a water. A water clone.

The real Raiga shot in, and sliced at Naruto with his swords; Naruto twisted to the side and managed to dodge. He used the wall as pushoff, and charged at Raiga, forming shadow clones. The clones yelled "Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)!" and charged at Raiga from all sides. Raiga kicked out at one of them, smirking, which turned to a frown. The clone used Orochimaru's Hebi style to good use, and twisted out of the kick like a cobra, and head butted Raiga. As the man fell back, another clone kicked him in the back. As he was sent into the air, one clone shouted "Katon: Goukyaku no Jutsu (Fire Style (no duh): Grand Fireball Technique!)", and another yelled "Futon: Kamaitachi no Jutsu (Wind Style: Wind Scythe Technique)!". The resulting fireball was as big as Tsunade's boobs. Raiga used the bird sign, and yelled "Suiton: Suiryuudan (Water Style: Water Dragon Missile)!"

Unfortunately for Raiga, a simple water technique can't stop a fire jutsu powered by a wind jutsu, and he got burned to bits. As a last resort, he threw several shuriken at Naruto, and to his surprise, they all hit him. Then, Naruto turned into a bunch of crows. Outside, the real Naruto picked up Gato's head, and waved it to the citizens of Wave. Again, he did not notice Sharingan no Kakashi. The ninja smiled for the first time since Godaime Hokage had taken power, and resolved to rescue his sensei's son.

Zetsu took the news of Naruto's success to Mt. Akatsuki, and Naruto began the journey home. However, his journey was cut short when a team of four ninja jumped in front of him. Directly in front of him was a man with silver hair, fingering a kunai. His headband covered his left eye, and engraved on the headband was the leaf of Konoha. On his right was a man with a black bowl cut, and caterpillars-no wait, thick bushy eyebrows-on his forehead. On the left side of the cyclops was a man who was smoking, and had a jagged beard. Behind the cyclops was a pretty woman, with red eyes, and black hair.

Naruto tensed. He didn't know about the other two, but he knew that the cyclops was an S-rank jounin, feared throughout the shinobi world as Sharingan no Kakashi, or Copy Ninja Hatake Kakashi, the man who had copied a thousand jutsu. The eyebrow monster was Maito Gai, known as Konoha's Noble Blue Beast. He had an S-rank rating as well, because he was a BOSS. But his most dangerous weapon, was his eyebrows.

Naruto thought to himself What the fuck are these leaf ninja doing here?.

As if he had heard him talk, Gai said, "WE ARE HERE TO RESTORE YOUR YOUTH BY TAKING YOU BACK TO KONOHA, WHERE YOU CAN TEND YOUR DIMINISHING FLAMES OF YOUTH!"

"What?"

"What Gai means is that you, Uzumaki Naruto, will be returning to Konoha with us." offered Kakashi.

"Naruto will not be going with you." said a voice behind them.

Behind Naruto were two men in black cloaks with red clouds. Kakashi's eyes widened, as he recognised one of them as an S-rank nukenin from Konoha. Itachi. Uchiha. Next to him was a shark-like man, and if he was correct, that man was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Kismet Hoshigaki.

"Retreat!" yelled Kakashi, and his team sprang back. It was in vain however, as Itachi dashed forward, stabbing the other man, and Kisame sliced off the woman's head. However, at their deaths, Gai roared in rage, and forgot about Kakashi's orders.

"EIGHT INNER GATES, OPEN! SEVENTH GATE, GATE OF SHOCK!"

However, before he could finish his power up, Naruto placed a seal on him. It was a suppression seal, Kakashi noted. Few in Konoha could fix that. He picked up Gai, and began charging away. Naruto made to chase after him, but Itachi stopped him.

"Let him go. He will tell Konoha that they should not mess with us."

"Yeah Konoha! Don't fuck with us!" screamed Kisame defiantly.

They headed back to Mt. Akatsuki.

Meanwhile, back in Konoha…

"The Hokage will see you now." said Koharu.

Kakashi stumbled into the door to talk to Godaime Hokage, who had taken over after Sandaime had gotten killed by that creepy orange guy with random piercings for no fucking reason.

Godaime Hokage was just… downright creepy. He had one eye, one arm, and a weird scar on his chin. He hid it well, but you could see the pain in his eyes, pain he had experienced in the First Ninja World War. He had lost his sensei, Lord Tobirama Senju. He had no family at all to live with. In some ways, he was like Kakashi, who had lost his two best friends in the Third Shinobi World War, and his sensei Lord Minato Kamikaze, who had died defeating the Nine Tailed Demon Fox.

"Kakashi," asked the Hokage. "What happened? Where's your team?"

Kakashi bowed, "Hokage-sama. My team was severely defeated. We encountered two Akatsuki members, who intercepted us before we could take Uzumaki Naruto. Kurenai and Asuma were killed, and the boy put a suppression seal on Gai. He is in the hospital, and right now can't use any chakra for his taijutsu attacks."

"So… the legacy of Yondaime Hokage-sama fought against our village? Let's put him down as a nukenin. Kakashi, what would you say his rank in the bingo book would be?

"I'd say low A-rank, sir."

"Very well, update the bingo book. I will give a personal order for his capture. Councillor Homura, please bring me a pen to sign the order."

The Hokage took the scroll, and wrote in neat kanji, his name. Lord Danzo Shimura.
