(Bell's Point Of View)

We have been following the bat for some time now and have just came into some fog which was where the strong Chakra was coming from.

"We should split into two groups... Bell, Naruto, you guys go by yourself's." This shocked everyone as Naru and I just nodded and we went onto the water towards the huge amount of Chakra.

We landed in the water as a huge blast of Chakra knocked us down, but as I was falling in the water, I felt something lift me up for which took my out of the water so I looked down to see Gamakichi swimming with me on top of him.

I looked over to see Naru on Gamatatsu who just smiled at me and I smiled back as he just laid on top of the toads head and I knelled on the toad holding on to me.

Suddenly, we heard a loud growl coming from the middle of the fog, and when the mist cleared I shouted that I should have known because the Chakra was so high.

The toad under me started freaking out, "Na-Naruto, th-this is a Tailed Beast!" Naru agreed as we watched the woman from before, Kabuto holding a little boy, all tackling the three tails.

The woman did a Jutsu of crystal to stop the Three Tails Rampage, but it just stopped moving on its own.

A burst of energy came at us again and we all were brought back to shore where the summons were brought back to there home and Naru was uncounsious.

I found out that he was in a strong Genjutsu, so I tried breaking it, but it looked liked it didn't work until he stood up with his eyes closed and made a Rasengan and aimed it at my face.

I dodged out of the way and I see that it was about to hit Kiba who appeared behind me but Kakashi-sensei grabbed his wrist, making him wake up.

Naru started looking around and said that Orochimaru was here, but I just narrowed my eyes because Orochimaru was never here in the first place.

Shino then showed us that his insects were going haywire ever since the fog got thicker which lead me to my conclusion for which I spoke, "On our side, Naruto saw an illusion. It seems this is no ordinary fog."

Kakashi-sensei asked what we saw at the lake for which I let Naru answer, "There was this giant rampaging turtle. Those guys we fought earlier were fighting it... The turtle caused that giant wave! Gamakichi saw that thing and said it was a Three-Tails..."

Kakashi-sensei was shocked and looked at me for which I nodded, giving him a confirm as to what Naru said.

He sighed, "I never imagined that the Three-Tails would have such power..."

Hinata did her Byakugan for which I asked her if she saw something for which she nodded so we headed in that direction.

Captain Yamato spoke as he looked at the fog, "Yes... That is surely no ordinary fog. There's quite a bit of Chakra inside it. Furthermore, it has totally enveloped the lake. It's a considerable amount of Chakra. I guess we're right to conclude that the fog was produced by the Three-Tail..."

Kakashi-sensei nodded, "Yes According to what Naruto said, that fog has the power to make you hallucinate. It's like a kind of barrier. It's dangerous to approach the lake."

Naru pointed at the lake, "That's bad! He's still inside there!" Sakura looked confused as to what he meant by he for which he answered, "Remember Sakura, I told you before... I met him on the way here..."

I knew that he was talking about the boy in Kabuto's arms. Naru shouted, "Anyway, he's still on the lake! Inside the fog! The lake? Please, Kakashi Sensei! He's not a Ninja! I have to find out if he's okay!"

Sensei shook his head, "Sorry, Naruto. I can't allow it... Earlier, you were ensnared by the Three-Tails' illusion and almost ended up killing your comrade. Acting on your own is out of the question. II know that, but... The problem is what'll we do now? Whatever has developed, we've fallen far off track from searching for Orochimaru's hideout. Well, the situation has gotten too big for me to make arbitrary decisions. And so, I've already sent Pakkun back to Hidden Leaf Village. We'll wait here until we get orders from Lady Tsunade. In the meantime, stay outside the perimeter of the fog and keep an eye on the Three-Tails and those others."

I was meditating in a tree, until I watched Naru walk over near a cliff next to the Ocean and Sakura was about to go talk to him, but I jumped down and put a hand on her shoulder, telling her that I would go.

Going up to Naru, I put a hand on his shoulder then sat down next to him and just looked out at the ocean, waiting for Naru to talk to me.

Finally, he spoke, "Bell... I've been thinking... But I can't find an answer by myself. Back then, when I was training, you remember what the Pervy Sage said something to me. "Wherever someone thinks of you, that's where home is."

I hummed, telling him that I did remember as he spoke again, "Butis that really true? If that's true, then if we keep thinking about someone, that person would return, right? But no matter how much we think of someone, there are some who won't return. It's a very difficult thing to have your thoughts reach someone. Yet, if you give upand there's no one to think about that person. If we give up, then there really won't be a place to return to."

I knew that he was talking about Sasuke and the little boy that he met so I just nodded for which he looked confused at me as I spoke, "Yes! No matter what anyone says, we just have to keep thinking of him and create a place where he can return freely at any time."

His eyes widen as he grabbed my hands, making me blush, as he spoke, "Bell! You're right... We just can't give up. Right! I feel much better, thanks to you, Bell! I'm going back to my position."

I nodded as I watched him run back into the forest as I felt the wind chill on my skin from the waves hitting the rocks on shore.

Going back to my position, I went back to meditating, until I felt Naru's chakra get farther away from me, so I got up and went after him.

Catching up to him, I asked him, calmly, what he was doing, for which he said that he was looking for "him". I asked him if it was that little boy I saw on the water and Naru nodded his head.

Following him, making sure that he doesn't get into any trouble, we met up with the woman with the crystal style who had the little boy who was unconscious.

From the way I was looking at it, I saw that she was taking care of him.

She saw us and started fighting Naru, but she didn't see me so I covered up my Chakra so she wouldn't sense me and I went to the boy.

I saw that he had a fever so I put my hand to his head, and started to use my medical Ninjutsu to heal him up.

Once he opened his eyes, he asked who I was so I just said that I was a friend, trying to help him for which he nodded and asked where Guren was.

I have now found out that, that must be the woman's name. I told him that I would take him to her for which he stood up and I put him on my back and ran back to Naru and Guren.

I went back to them to see that they were just staring at each other for which the woman, Guren, saw him on my back and raced at me and told me to put him down so I did.

She was surprised by my action as I just said, "I saw he had a fever so I healed him up, he's all ready to go..." I smiled at them as Naru made Shadow clones for which they went after Guren while the original came over to us.

" So your name is Yuukimaru? I'm Naruto. Yuukimaru, you're going home with me to Hidden Leaf Village. She's not the one you're going home to! She serves Orochimaru. And this guy Orochimaru will do anything to achieve his ambition. He's a bastard who thinks nothing of taking peoples' lives. Anyone who serves a guy like that can't be a decent human being!"

My eyes sadden at him which confused Naru as the boy, Yuukimaru, spoke with a smile, "Guren will protect me She's kind to me and she thinks of me." This made me smile with me finding no lies in his words as Naru spoke.

"It's obvious she's just using you." I put a hand on his shoulder while speaking, "Naru... I think he's telling the truth... I saw the way she was treating him when he was unconscious..,"

He was about to answer, but Guren shouted behind us, "I'm taking him by force, if necessary! Hexagonal Crystal Shuriken: Wild Dance!"

I pulled Naru and the boy, out of the way, but something, or someone, took the boy out of arm and took Guren as well.

I sighed as Kakashi-sensei and everyone else showed up and he knelled down near Naru, "What's with you? Surely, you knew that if you went off on your own, you were bound to encounter that Crystal Style user?"

Naru tried to tell him that he was trying to find Yuukimaru, but Sensei just said not to make excuses.

"Don't make excuses. You're lucky; you could've been dead by now. You put your comrades in danger because you gave in to your emotions. How can you face Lady Tsunade, who put her trust in you and sent you on this mission? Okay, I was wrong. This mission involves a dangerous, unpredictable foe. Recklessly acting on your own could spell death for everyone. Don't let yourself forget that."

He nodded as I sadly looked at Naru as Kakashi-sensei came up to me and thanked me for going after him for which I nodded.

Looking back at Naru, Kakashi-sensei asked, "Naruto, you said you saw a child at the lake. Something's been bothering me. Tell me the details of that incident."

Naru nodded and spoke, telling him about the kid for which Kakashi-sensei answered, "You mean a human was controlling a Tailed Beast? I don't know what trick they used, but we're dealing with Orochimaru It's probably no mistake that they intend to use a child to capture the Three-Tails. Which means, this child We can't just ignore him. We wait for an opportunity, and then we take him. As long as they don't have the boy, they have no method to capture the Three-Tails. And I can't believe that Orochimaru will be satisfied with just capturing Three-Tails Sooner or later, he'll think of ways to create a Jinchuriki that is easy to control. For him, a boy with the ability to synergize with a Tailed Beast is merely a useful tool. Besides, I'm sure they would want to examine his powers back at the village. Well, it all depends on Lady Tsunade's reply."

Sakura came to us, after giving Naru and earful of lectures, and told us Lady Tsunade's plan, "Our new mission is to seal the Tailed Beast, the Three-Tails. And, to protect the child from the enemy. He seems to be connected in some way to this Tailed Beast! With the mission change, you'll be divided into the following teams. Sealing team, Guarding team and the Crystal User Counter team."

We all nodded our heads as Kakashi-sensei told us that we needed to meet up with the Reinforcements.

We haven't spilt up yet because we needed to with the sealing team which consisted of Ino, Rock Lee, Shizune, and TenTen.

We all met up in a cabin that Captain Yamato made and the adults said that they would come up with a plan as we waited in the other room.

I see Naru high-five Rock Lee as Ten-Ten walked up to him and started talking while Ino and Sakura were fighting.

I decided to stay in the corner where I can drown everyone else out and meditate which brought me to my happy place.

Everyone was now sitting down on one side of the wall while I was in the corner of the opposite wall, so I could meditate.

I felt someone's Chakra sit next to me so I opened my eyes and looked over to see Naru smiling at me while rubbing the back of his head, saying hi.

I giggled, saying hi back and we just comfortably until the three adults came into the room, and told us that it was time to split up into our groups for which Naru and I stood and looked at them with determination in our eyes.

We were all talking about what was going on for the mission and Naru goes out and looks at the Ocean again, so I was going to go talk to him once more, but someone took my shoulder, which was Kakashi-sensei, who said that he was going to talk to him.

I jumped into the trees to hear the conversation and to intervene if need be.

Naru looked at Sensei then back at the ocean, "What do you plan on doing with that kid?" Sensei asked why he cared so much about him for which Naru answered, "He's being used! He believes there's someone he can return to But he's sure to be betrayed. When that happens He won't have anywhere to go. If wherever someone thinks of you is the place you return to... Then... I'll keep thinking of him!"

He hummed, "It may be important to think about people. But I wonder if things always go that smoothly? After all, everyone has different thoughts and feelings."

Naru looked at him, "That's not true. Feelings always get through to others!"

He sighed as I looked over to see Sakura and Sai standing there listening to their conversation, so I jumped down and took Naru shoulder to make him look at me.

Turning, he looked at me face and calmed down as I lead him back to the cabin where our teams were being placed.

Shizune was speaking, "Sakura, Hinata and Ino you will be under my command. Kakashi will lead the rest. Our new mission is to seal the Tailed Beast, the Three-Tails. And, to protect the child from the enemy. He seems to be connected in some way to this Tailed Beast. It is not just the Akatsuki who covet the Tailed Beast. If it becomes known that there is a Tailed Beast that has no Jinchuriki, other nations are bound to join the hunt."

We all nodded as Naru spoke, "Sealing the Three-Tails and protecting that kid That's so he doesn't end up like Gaara and me, right, Shizune?"

She nodded, "Yes that's right. Our goal is not to capture the Tailed Beast. Even if we seal the Beast, we will make it disappear into a space where no one else can touch it. That is Lady Tsunade's the Hokage's will."

Sakura spoke up, "But the Tailed Beast has a huge mass of Chakra, right? I don't see how we can put a seal on it."

Shizune nodded again, "Yes. It will take an extremely delicate amount of Chakra control and concentration. Sakura and Ino... Both of you are training in Medical Ninjutsu. Your experience will be very useful. And Hinata... What's important is your ability to control Chakra. You may not know Medical Ninjutsu, but your mastery of the Gentle Fist and your Byakugan, which can see the flow of Chakra, will be useful. You will be fine."

Naru said that Hinata was awesome for which she looked at me and I nodded while smiling Kiba asked about TenTen and I because we were girls, but were not put on the sealing team.

Ten-Ten and I just shrugged our shoulders as Shizune stuttered out, "I-I didn't mean it like that! The rest of you will work under Yamato and I to provide protection. I'm sure you've already thought about it But those guys who are after the Three-Tails won't sit by and watch while we finish sealing the beast. They are bound to attack."

Kakashi-sensei spoke, "The most critical part of this battle is to stop the Crystal Style user. However, if we all confront her, the Sealing team won't have protection So I'm thinking of splitting up this team into two, with one team focusing on her. Naruto, Sai, Shino, Bell! You four will work under me to fight the Crystal Style user! As for the rest Yamato, you guys take care of them."

We all nodded as we went into position.

I just hope everything was going to end well...
