I do not own nor plan to own Naruto in any way shape or form. If i did it would have ninjas...wait.

15 years later…

"Bravo Team, this is Alpha Team. Any sightings?"

"Negative Alpha team. We have no sightings. Sometimes I wonder why they still try to look for this guy. He has been gone for almost 16 years."

"Oh you don't know? You must be the new guy. Word is he is the Demon of Konoha."

"Demon of Konoha?"

"Yeah. They outlawed ever speaking about this, but your ANBU, you get special treatment. You remember the Nine Tails?"

"Remember! I lost my grandfather to him."

"Yeah, well this guy we are going after his him sealed in him."

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"Well, the Nine Tails was just far too powerful for the Forth so he devised a special technique. He summoned the Death God himself. Yeah, he sealed the Nine Tails with the shinigami and saved us all."

"So what does this guy have to do with this?"

"Well, when he summoned the death god he had to seal it into a child. I don't know why exactly, but he did anyway. Then he just died. Never thought I would see that happen. He was the strongest Hokage we have ever had."

"I still don't get it. Why is this guy so bad?"

"What the hell is there not to get. HE IS THE KYUUBI! HE KILLED OUR HOKAGE! Never forget that."

"I understand sir. Transmission over"

Captain Tsunagi removed his hand from his comm device. It had been the third week in this retched mission and he hadn't seen hide nor hair of the Demon of Konoha. To top it off the rookie was getting on his nerves. His patience was wearing thin and he wanted to kill something. The scouting reports said of a cloaked figure helping villages in the area. As weird as it sounded, it was the best lead they had. But why would a demon help others?

"Krssshhhh Captain! The subject has been spotted in a village up ahead 10 miles due north."

Captain Tsunagi smiled from behind his Ox mask. This was what he had been praying for all his life. "Rookie, I want you to set up a perimeter. I will take care of this one myself"

The village had reportedly been attacked by bandits and their leaders were staying there. Weak and unskilled, they were easily taken care of. He could have left immediately but as usual the village had to thank him. Of course, he's not one to say no to an offer of thanks.

The entire village collected in the largest inn that they had to celebrate their freedom with the blonde haired man as their guest of honor. The shrine maiden was doing a dance in his honor but his mind was elsewhere. The usual smile gone from his lips as he listened intently.

…He's here.

A smoke bomb went off in the middle of the inn. The villagers screamed and ran, fleeing from the new threat that had just seemed to appear. As the smoke cleared Captain Tsunagi's Ox mask could be seen.

"So…I finally found you…Demon of Konoha"

"…"

The captain didn't throw his punches and sent a barrage of punches and kicks, all easily dodged by the Demon. Seeing that his attacks were pointless he sent a volley of kunai with explosive tags attached. In a puff of smoke and leaves, the Demon disappeared before they reached him. With another puff of smoke he reappeared outside and into a trap set by the Captain. Explosive charges went off sending him flying. The Captain appeared just above him to launch his most powerful fire attack that he knew.

Turning into a human shaped fireball he plummeted to the center of the village, forming a crater, kicking up dust in the process. Tsunagi landed a few yards away from the crater, laughing.

"Hahaha. The Demon of Konoha. I know your entire story and I still can't believe I beat you. The rumors must have been false, you pathetic weakling. Well, stand up you monster. Get mad like a demon should."

As the smoke cleared the figure of the Demon of Konoha stood in the two foot crater. His face was expressionless. Dusting himself off he bent over to pick up a single pebble.

"HA! What are you going to do? Hit me with that?"

Still emotionless, he held the pebble between his thumb and forefinger…and flicked it. Without having time to move, it struck Tsunagi in the head, rendering him unconscious.

In a gust of leaves the Demon of Konoha left, leaving nothing but a bag a gold behind. When the task force appeared at the village to check on the Captain they found him nursing a wound on his head.

"Damn Captain. What the hell happened?"

"The Demon did Rookie. The Demon…"

Later that night a messenger bird flew into the hunter nin camp. It had a single message around its leg.

All personnel on leave or on assignment must return immediately. The Sanin have left this Earth.

-6th Hokage

All of the hunter nin patrols and ninja received the message. A single messenger bird remained.

Sitting in his camp the demon lightly rested by his campfire, replaying the days events in his mind. His acute hearing picked up the bird flying overhead. Jumping to the nearest branch he snatched the letter and sent the bird on his way. Unraveling the note, he sat down to read it. The words stun as he read it and he said one word.

"Tsunade…"

The newly rebuilt Hidden Village of the Sound is the result of many things. With the death of Orochimaru the new Hokage of the village mended all ties with Konoha and set forth to make a better village then before. Complete reform takes a long time but 5 years have passed and they have almost completely rebuilt themselves to a ninja village of great power. Not to say that they are weak.

Even though Konoha had a huge part in the liberation of the Sound, they were not the liberators, or, as known by a few, liberator. He came with a flash and left just a quickly. All that he left behind was the body of Orochimaru and a yellow flash. Rumors had it that the Forth Hokage himself came back from the dead to kill Orochimaru but as everyone knows, such rumors would be impossible. The only person with the knowledge of human resurrection had been killed and he would have never have let that happen.

Konoha immediately sent ninja to subdue any remaining Sound Nin. Most ninja surrendered. Very few retaliated. After the interrogation of the ninja in the village it was then when the rumors of the return of the Yellow Flash had begun to surface again.

Rumors began to surface all around the great countries. Villages being saved by a man in a white cloak. Akatsuki's advances fended off by a lone man with blonde hair. Konoha just brushed them aside and ignored them. It wasn't until ANBU hunter parties began to see such a man that the rumors were taken as truth.

These ANBU hunter parties were after a SS class missing nin at the time. The SS class is the ultimate rank that can be given to a Missing nin or enemy of a village. The unofficial term for a SS class mission is "suicide mission". However, this missing nin has never killed nor attacked any hunter nin. His rank is based solely on his sin. His sin for being the jailer of the Kyuubi. When the hero of the Sound was confirmed to be the Kyuubi's jailer, he was given a new name. The Demon of Konoha.

Auther's Note: Wow. This is the most reviewed story i have ever written. I am still getting reviews months after i posted this story. I would like to thank all of you who have taken the time to not only read my story but to write a review on it. It lets me know that people like my work and are actually reading it hehe.

As for not posting for so long, i tend to not post unless i am bored or have an idea. This is one of those cases. I know, its not the most glamorous but i have been very busy with work, school, and my own free time that i can't always be up to date with the continuation of the story. Things just come to me and, well, today i just decided i wanted to type something. It was either this or think of an idea for my stop animation project...

Well, good night all and enjoy.
