Chapter 15: Attack

"My my, aren't we creative?" Smiled Arashi as Naruto came closer to the blonde Hokage.

"Hey! Now you owe me RAMEN!"

"No I don't"

"What! But I am not wet!"

"Look at your feet"

"Huh?" Said Naruto that's when he noticed his feet were wet from the rain, and puddles.

"Ok, now we start to train" said Arashi as he got up and walked from under the tree.

"If your so smart tell me how you would not get wet!"

"I don't know, that's why I asked you" Smiled the blonde as water dripped down his face from the tips of his hair.

"WHAT! YOU MEAN YOU TRIED ME TO DO SOMETHING YOU HAD NEVER DONE! WITHOUT DISAPREARING IN A CLOUD OF SMOKE!!" Yelled Naruto as he looked at the blonde.

"Yes, because I thought you could, you already proved that you could surpass me"

"….What"

"Yes Naruto, even before you had learned what I taught you, you had the ability to surpass even me"

"But…"

"That Jutsu. Fuuton Rasen Shuiriken"

"You mean with that I actually surpassed you?" Naruto looked at the forth with wide eyes, sure he had learned it almost two years ago on the search for Sasuke. But had the

forth known that all along? No he told Naruto to stop training with that Jutsu.. Unless he meant another one…but no that couldn't be it. The fourth must have found out, that Naruto lied to him when he said he spent one day actually learning it when he was alive, that would be the only way. Kakashi must have told him.

"Your wondering how I knew? Kakashi told me you learned it, but you got it actually down in one day. And that day you defeated and member of Akatsuki"

"…."

"Shall we start?" Smiled the blonde.

"YEAH!"

"So what do you want to learn, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to not defeat Sasuke Uchiha…so why continue training?"

"Because…that's not the only reason why I wish to train"

"There's another purpose?"

"Yeah…you once told me that to be Hokage you shouldn't just want the villages respect, that's not the only reason to become Hokage"

"Heh"

"You also told me to become Hokage you would have to become the best, the best of your generation. And that is what I will do, and…"

"And?"

"And, you have to love your village and protect it with your life even if you die protecting it. I now understands what it means to be Hokage, to be hard working, and loyal to your village…to risk your life to save others, even if it may just be one" Smiled Naruto as he disabled the technique of shadow clones.

"You are a smart one"

"…..Smart?" said Naruto with his eyes slanted in his cat like look while scratching his head. And a thought bubble appeared of him in chibi form reading tons of books while wearing glasses, and answering a long mathematical equation.

"…Naruto are you alright?" Asked Arashi as he looked at the blonde who then snapped out of it and rubbed the back of his head.

"Yeah"

"Pay close attention to what I am going to show you"

"…What are you going to show me?"

"Do you have that Kunai with you?"

"..Yeah"

"Good"

Temari walked down the road, her white umbrella above her head, Shikamaru had to go to the academy and teach there a while leaving the poor girl alone. She had a full day before she had to go back to actually started heading home so she decided to wander around Konoha. She always looked at it weird with the tall strange coloured buildings, she was so used to her some where the buildings were all basically the same colour. But she could understand why Naruto seemed to love this place. It was something about it, something that would make you want to be here.

As she walked further she noticed a few ANBU members, she wasn't used to them always wearing there masks around town or dressed in such a way, usually they would dress as normal ninjas or people on which ever they wished. She noted that three where male, one short with black hair, while two tall men with brown and a strawberry blonde hair. Then there was a female among them. That's when Temari stopped she noticed the girl right away it was as if the whole scene was in slow motion. They had actually not been walking but running the two taller men where carrying the girl with an arm around each shoulder while the other was trying to make sure nothing happened from behind, scared as if something or some one was following. It happened in such a slow motion that Temari thought time had stopped as she watched then run slowly past her, her eyes grew wide she remembered seeing that mask before. It was one she had seen many times when she came here. The fox. And at the same time she looked at the girl being carried the girl seemed to look at her, there eyes met for an instant even if ones was under a mask she knew that mask all to well, then time seemed to turn to normal as she felt a gust of wind pass her and the one ANBU member that was following from behind stop and look at her.

"Who are you?"

"Temari…messenger from sand"

"You are to come with me"

"What! Why! I have done nothing!"

"You are an outsider within our walls, one of ours has been attacked…you have to come with me to answer a few questions!" said the ANBU as about three other ANBU showed up and surrounded her. She may have been able to take them but that would be breaking the law and right now, they accused her of hurting that one foxed masked ANBU if she caused a fuss now it would lead more to there pile of judgment.

"Fine"

"Naruto I am really starting to like you now" Smiled Arashi as Naruto had just (partly)( You will find out in future chapter) showed him the . Fuuton Rasen Shuiriken. Which made him freak out jump backwards and land in the river.

"DON'T SAY WEIRD STUFF LIKE THAT!"

"I only meant that.."

"GET AWAY FROM ME!!!"

"Naruto…." Muttered Arashi, he forgot that Kakashi had told him not to say that because he had once said that to Naruto which made the blonde boy freak out just a bit.

"…." Naruto stayed silent as he looked at the Hokage just before a cloud of smoke appeared and Shikamaru was standing there looking well like Shikamaru, only a but pissed off.

"Nara Shikamaru what is the…"

"I need your help"

"My help?"

"His help…you don't want his help…he'll try to hit on you" said Naruto as he tried to dry himself off, but when it rains…it was kind of hard.

"The the fifth told me to get you…"

"…Why didn't she send for Onime? She usually does…."

"That's the problem…she has been attacked, and she refuses to talk…and the ANBU guards are holding Temari under investigation…"

"Temari? Gaara's psychotic sister…what do they want with her.?" said Naruto as he stood next to the fourth.

"They believe she was involved, with the attack upon the ANBU…the Kazekage is now coming to Konoha, they are trying to sort the matter out…but"

"They want my help?"

"Yes"

"Tell her I'll be there soon as I can"

"She said to come now"

"Tell her, she can wait a few more minutes its not like the Kazekage will be here in five minutes if you rush your way you can make it Konoha from Suna in a day and a half…but in the rain it will be difficult, and the Kazekage will not be here in that time frame. Tell her that she can wait a couple more minutes. If not…give her this" Smiled Arashi. As he passed the Nara boy an envelope. And turned around and started to walk away. Leaving the two standing there.

"…Why do they suspect Temari?"

"I don't know all the details just yet. All I know is that the ANBU don't trust her much, and someone stuck the female ANBU….Onime as the fourth says. She is in serious condition, the fifth isn't sure of who it was, she was positive it wasn't Temari, because she was with me…but another case happened just last weak, but they died. It was all hushed up due to they couldn't find out who it was. All they did now was that they got cut from their upper left arm across the chest then zig zag all the way down the rest of their body. She is lucky to be alive. As well…I shouldn't be telling you this but, it seems that it looked like lightning struck her down, but there was no indication of….Naruto are you alright?" Asked Shikamaru. Right after he had said she was struck down by what looked to be lightning he immediately took off in the direction of the hospital.

'Damn…what the hell happened, lightning…there's only three ninjas I know who could use lighting…and ones dead. And one would not go against this village and that only leaves… Sasuke' thought Naruto.

"Lord Kazekage!!!" said a worried young ninja who seemed to barge in the Kazekage office. In a panic the ninja quickly bowed and handed the Kazekage a small letter.

"Hn?"

"A letter from Konoha! I do not know the full details but I was told it has something to do with Temari." huffed the messenger nin.

"…" Gaara remained silent and looked at the letter then opened it and started to read, once he was done he quickly stood up.

"Kazekage?"

"Get Kankuro, I will be taking a few days off" Said Gaara as he quickly took off his Hokage robes, and put on his Gourd, and then stood there.

"Ok…right away" Gaara then soon followed after the other Ninja and walked out to the front of the Kazekage building to wait. He never did like to wait, it was never in his nature. But soon enough his brother did show up, and stopped close to him with a confused look upon his face, there hadn't been really many time Gaara had left sand since he became a Kage. The last time he could recall that Gaara got all dressed up in such a way was when he was fighting for his life, as well as for the village. That time he actually died, but Naruto came…he still wanted to pay back Naruto some how for that, he knew Gaara did as well.

"Gaara what's the matter? Why are you in a hurry, that's not like you.

"Something happened in leaf, that involves Temari. I don't know everything yet, but the

Fifth order us to come immediately."

"Ordered? Gaara since when do you take orders from another villages Kage?"

"We have to go now"

"Alright geez…someone's touchy" Muttered Kankuro as Gaara gave him a wicked side

glare and shut the elder up right away. 'Can't believe I am scared of my own little brother' Thought the elder as they started to head out.

Next Day

Naruto burst threw the doors, looking all around and started a few nurses along the way. He ran up to the front desk and looked panicky. Of course the nurse was taken back at the blondes actions. She simply stared at the boy till she finally had the courage to speak.

"Yes? Are you looking for"

"The ANBU that was sent here, what room is she in?"

"She's getting treated at the moment by the Hokage, she's in the intensive care unit, but you will have to wait. It shouldn't take to long" Smiled the lady, and with that Naruto took off. By the time he had gotten there, he noticed Kakashi sitting down reading one of his books, as well as the blonde Hokage who's eyes seemed to be closed.

"What are you two doing here?" Asked Naruto.

"She was somewhat of a student of mine, when she was about six…so I feel I should see her" said Kakashi in a bored matter and didn't raise his head once.

"I was told to come here" said the fourth as Naruto sat down next to Kakashi.

"Right when we thought we were at peace this goes along and happens" said Arashi as he looked up at the ceiling.

"We've never been at peace. You should know that well sensei, we are ninja, there's no such thing as peace if there were…then there would be no point for us to…."

"Exist" Muttered Naruto.

"Right, if there were peace there would be no Hokages, no kages at all really. We would probably be all boring business men…sounds dull" Said Kakashi putting away his book.

"Your done already??!" Said Naruto remembering he gave that volume to Kakashi the day before.

"No, saving some for later. Now its time to get down to it….Sensei" Said Kakashi as he looked at the retired Hokage sternly.

"Man…what happened, there was once where you were all serious…it was easier to deal with. Now you only act it when there are problems" said Arashi.

"There is the matter, there have been quite a few of these assignations"

"….But I thought there were only two?" Said Naruto.

"No, in quite a few of the surrounding villages people have been stuck down and killed in this such way." said Arashi.

"But…but why? Why hadn't we heard of this happening!?"

"Naruto, we had heard, but it was for ABNU members and hunter ninjas to find out, the Hokage didn't want to risk all of her Jounin on this. And the reason why you younger generation haven't heard is manly because you weren't allowed" Said Arashi.

"Not allowed! But were NINJA TOO!"

"Don't matter, your not as high as some of us. Right now we have more important matters to attend to, such as how to clear the sands name" Said Kakashi.

"That will be hard, with Gaara on his way…and Temari under investigation and the Hokage busy, we don't have many leads to as what happened." Said Arashi crossing his arms and he looked up to notice a woman walking towards them. Her hair was a dark blue, almost black. Her clothes where a pale pink, and her eyes were full of worry and somewhat sacred. The three looked at her with questioning eyes till Kakashi stood up and walked over to the woman, he was a good head taller then her.

"Mrs. Kankatish, I didn't expect you to come here" said Kakashi as he looked at her.

"Neither did I"

"Oi! Oi…Kakashi sensei who is that old woman?" Questions Naruto as Arashi hit him

upside the head. "OWW!!!"

"Naruto, mind you manners. This is Onime's mother"

"Huh?"

"So this is the famous Uzumaki Naruto is it?"

"…." (silent Naruto)(rubbing his head)(with smile)

"I thought that pesky daughter of mine told me he was a loud mouth?"

"Pesky?" Muttered Naruto.

"Yes, yes…always trouble that one…I wouldn't be here just for the fact that I was told to come here, what a troubling girl what's wrong with her anyways to be sent to…another one sent here eh?"

"…Another, what are you talking 'Bout?" Said Naruto.

"Well, what ever the case, what's she done to her self now? She was always a nit wit, always getting hurt, people getting killed around her…."

"Oi…lady"

"What?"

"If you really think she's that much of a problem why do you stay. If you heard that she was hurt why did you come?" Said Naruto now standing in front of her in a blink of an eye, we as well was also a bit taller then her.

"Why…"

"Yeah? You seem to dislike that person there that much why come?"

"Obligation"

"…wha???"

"Its my obligation as a mother to come"

"……So that's what you think of her? An obligation…something you have to look after?

Something you have to love!"

"Yes"

"…Why do you hate her so much?"

"Why?"

"Yeah, if you came all the way here to trash talk her then I want to know why you dislike her so much!" Said Naruto getting louder and louder by the second.

"Why do you care?"

"Because she is my friend!"

"Pah! Friend?! Something like you could never have friends…you filthy demon child!"

"ENOUGH!" Said a voice from down the hall. The four heads suddenly turned to see three ninja walk down the hall. One with a large fan, another with three giant scrolls…and one with a gourd and his arms crossed.

"Gaara? How did you get here so fast?" Asked Naruto as he looked at the Kage.

"Gaara…Oh not another one…what is the world coming to! Soon were going to be run over by demon…"

"What's the difference between you and I?"

"…What? You know the difference you filthy demon brat!"

"Is that what you think? Just because we have a demon within us? It makes us the monsters are selves?" Asked Gaara as he finally stopped.

"Damn…I was hoping this wouldn't happen" Said Arashi to Kakashi. (OMG! THEY SOUND THE SAME AND ALMOST SPELT THE SAME TOO!)

"Heh…I guess it can't be helped." And with that the light to the room went off. Naruto turned his head to see the fifth walk out with wide eyes to see so many people there.

"Uh…what is the meaning of this!?" Said the Fifth as she walked over the rather large group. If you could cut the tension in the room you could probably eat it.

"Lord Hokage, I would like to know the same thing" said Gaara.

"Kazekage, how in the world did you?"

"Never mind that now, why was Temari charged with conspiring against a Kage? after we made the peace agreement"

"We are unsure at the moment, I haven't quite had a chance to look into it yet." And with those words spoken he looked at her weird. "I have been busy trying to save someone who had been struck down."

"…."

"Someone like him is KAGE!" Said the girls mother in a horrid manner.

"And what are you doing here! Its hard to concentrate when you have your annoying voice yelling threw the doors! I am sure there are people in China who heard you!"

"You can't talk to me like that!"

"I can talk to you anyway I want! You should be worried for your daughter. Instead of fighting over a useless battle you will not win. I know your family has suffered a lot due to her, but you need not try to make it worse!!! Just remember it was part YOUR FAULT AS WELL!"

"HOW DARE YOU!"

"OH SHUT UP!"

"…"

"Hokage, is there a place were we could"

"How did you get Temari out?"

"…I simply asked, and said you would fix everything"

"…More paper work"

"LORD HOKAGE!"

"Sakura what is it?"

"Onime she's walking up!…oh…Naruto, Kakashi sensei…lord Kazekage, fourth…what are you doing here?"

"…Thanks forget about us" Mumbled Temari.

"Now! If you all don't mind we have to get this girl to an empty room, if you could just wait in the lobby those why are waiting to see her, and those who aren't go to the Hokage building NOW!" Yelled the fifth. As Kakashi and Arashi nodded and disappeared.

"As for you Gaara, go to the building as well, and Temari I am sorry…but you go along to we need to ask you some more questions….Kankuro you may go along to. As for you Naruto…and you….go wait in the lobby till the nurse is ready to bring you up"

"..But"

"Naruto!"

"Fine…" mumbled the boy as he walked down the hall right next to Gaara.

"Naruto"

"Hum.."

"What happened"

"Don't know yet…ANBU got attacked…almost dead, trying to figure out who…you

came…we all are fighting with each other…"

"…Is that so" Said Gaara as they turned another corner.

"Oi, Gaara!"

".." He then just looked at Naruto.

"How did you get Temari out? I know the ANBU would never let you take her like

that….you didn't….kill them did you?"

"Sai"

"…What??"

"Your 'friend' Sai"

"…How did he?"

"Didn't ask" said Gaara as he looked at his sister.

"Man…why does all the good stuff happen when im not here!" Muttered Naruto as he crossed his arms and glared at the floor, and in that instant a voice yelled from behind.

"Naruto, Lord Kazekage please step aside!" said Sakura as she and a few other medic ninjas pushed a bed down the hall caring the girl. Naruto's eyes were wide with shock and disbelief, the damage done on the girl was enough to kill her, there was no doubt about that. Her whole upper body was covered in a white bandage, and her arms, the tips of her hair were singed. A few cuts on her face, and a small burn mark that was about it. Then they disappeared down the hall.

"Man! What happened to her?" Kankuro as he moved to the side of the wall along with Temari. Gaara noticed right away Naruto's eyes were full of a type of sadness, one that he used to get. When he thought it was his fault for everything. Naruto stood there looking at the ground hard, eyes low, low enough if he were crying you wouldn't be able to tell.

"I should have made her come with me…"

"..?" The three sand ninjas now looked at the blonde boy.

"I should have made her come with me once I left to go train…this would have never happened"

"Naruto, how could you possible stop this?" Said Temari as she looked at the boy.

"If she came…she wouldn't be like…"

"Do you love her" Stated Gaara.

"No" said Naruto looking at the Kage before him.

"Then.."

"Because she is my comrade…she if a ninja from leaf, a friend…no one deserves to be treated this way because of me"

"Naruto this wasn't your fault! You have to stop blaming your self. If you blamed your self for everything that happened to a friend. Then you would be a pretty depressed Hokage" said Arashi as he appeared behind the boy. Causing the sand ninjas eyes to grow. 'I didn't even sense him coming…what exactly did he just use?' though Gaara, and you can tell it was going threw the others heads as well.

"…Weird old guy, who in the world is that?" Kankuro said as he looked at the blonde Hokage for a moment till Naruto lifted his head and he got a shocker.

"Hello, I am the fourth Hokage" Smiled Arashi as he stuck out his hand.

"Your dead"

"Kankuro!" hissed Temari.

"Well he is! Father told us remember!"

"Your father…oh yes I remember you, you're the Yondaime's brats aren't you?" Smiled

Arashi.

"..Temari…."

"What now Kankuro" Said Temari as they kept there voices low, as Arashi talked to Gaara and Naruto. Saying how Gaara has had a bad life also and he isn't depressed, lonely but not depressed, causing him to get a death glare. If looks could only kill the fourth would be dead on the spot.

"Doesn't it seem weird that Naruto and that Hokage guy look the exact same?"

"Hmm?" Said Temari as she turned her head slightly and noticed it too.

"Do you think…"

"No, Naruto would have yelled it at us…probably to brag"

"Yeah but"

"Come on, Gaara…were going back to tower you coming?" Yelled Temari as they walked along further. Gaara then nodded slightly. And turned around and left, saying nothing really just a hand gesture.

"Damn it! NO! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME GO!" Yelled Naruto as he clung to the hospital room door.

"Naruto come on?! Its late she needs to sleep!" Said Arashi as Sakura and Sai stood watching.

"No, I want to know who did this!"

"Lord Hokage may I try?" Asked Sakura as she walked forward.

"If you think you can…." said Arashi as he let go of the blonde who was latched onto the door.

"Naruto…" Said Sakura in a sing song voice.

"Sakura…..OW!!!" Yelled Naruto as she punched him causing him to go slightly unconscious.

"Well effective…but a little Hostile Sakura" Said Sai as Sakura then gave him a death glare. Then quickly stayed silent.

"Were are you going with Naruto?" Asked Sakura.

"Train him a bit, he'll need it…you two are welcomed to come along I would like to see your abilities. To better know how to make a plan" said Arashi as the two nodded.

"Does that mean we should get Jiraiya and Kakashi sensei to come along as well?" Asked Sakura.

"No need, I know the perverts from when I was his student. And Kakashi, I know all of his…well most enough to know how to make a plan" Said Arashi as they walked down the hall Sakura and Sai walking behind the blonde man who carried a blonde boy.

"So, this is the future leaf ninja of Konoha" Said Shikamaru as he looked into the child's face.

"Yes…sorry I forgot to tell you. You were away on a mission am I correct?" Said Kurenai as she looked at Shikamaru.

"Yeah, so why bring him out here?"

"Because I wanted him to know his father"

"…." Shikamaru just stayed silent.

"I heard your playing against your father now?…and that you haven't beaten him yet" She said with a smile as she handed the child over to Shikamaru.

"Yeah, so…what did you name him?"

"Asuma, after his father…he looks so much like him"

"Yeah…"

"So, you still trying to be the coolest adult ever for him?"

"Ha-ha, yeah…but my teachings wont be as retarded as some of his. That he taught me. Well…hopefully"

"Still believe things are troublesome?"

"No, I learned from my mistakes in the past. The only troublesome thing now are woman" Said Shikamaru as he got a small pat upside the head from the older woman.

"So I heard that the Jiraiya and team seven will be heading out in a few days, why so many?"

"Guess you haven't heard much since you've been on leave huh? The fourth is going along to. I don't know all of it myself all I do know is that there heading out soon. And luckily coming back, but knowing Naruto…to become Hokage he has to come back, so there's a possible chance they will."

"Your growing up fast, soon enough you will be teaching won't you? Unless you join the ANBU."

"No, that kind of life isn't for me. And anyways I made a promise to you that day I went to this spot. That I will be the coolest adult ever. For that kid of yours" Smiled Shikamaru.

"Yes, I remember…and thank you"

"Damn, why the hell does this have to hurt so much…" Murmured a girl as she suddenly sat up, and flinched all over as pain went threw her.

"Where the hell am I? how did I get here…damn, hey! Candy!!" Smiled the girl as she reached her arm out, but pulled back instantly and sat there breathing in and out trying to regain some type of calm state. As she looked to her left she noticed a Ramen bowl sitting on the edge of her bed, empty. But the smell of Ramen filled the room, she looked at it for a while till she noticed a small green frog wallet next to it.

"Naruto?" She murmured as she looked around to find she was in a dark hospital room.

"Oh, so I guess it did happen…and I thought it was a bad dream." and with that she laughed, until she clutched her stomach in pain and stopped. She then noticed that something was in the dark, she tried to focus to be able to see, but it hurt to even do that. Even though she was using no chakra what so ever.

"You shouldn't move around so much your just going to open up you wounds." Said a deep and harsh voice. At first she froze on spot thinking it for the worst, till she actually noticed in the dimmest of light there stood red/brown hair.

"And you shouldn't come into a girls room in the middle of the night either, that's kind

of stalker-ish lord Kazekage." Smiled Onime.

"…."

"Why is it that you always stand in the dark alone? When you long to be in the light and be around people" She said.

"…"

"Fine don't talk to me lord Kazekage. But if you would like to be helpful you could pass me that bag of candy one of the kids from the ANBU learning squad dropped off" She said innocently.

"You shouldn't be eating such things, the way you are now"

"Wow, he finally talked well your improving lord Kazekage.."

"…"

"Or not…may have pushed it just a bit…haven't I lord Kazekage" She said as she tried to reach for the bag again. But it moved away from her.

"…Even I know not to eat such things. Eat food that they give you"

"Oh come on…that stuff will kill me faster then the sugary sweets…lord Kazekage" She said with a smile.

"…." he just gave her a stern look.

"Your not really the one to talk to me about being healthy. Lord Kazekage. If I remember you don't sleep. Since when is that healthy?"

"I have an.."

"No you don't! don't try and use the excuse on me saying that you have that demon inside of you! Its gone! So why are so still afraid of it!" Said Onime as she looked at the sheets, then back at him. "Sorry, it wasn't my place lord Kazekage…" She added in quickly.

"Afraid?"

"…"

"I don't sleep because I can't, years of not sleeping has inflicted this upon me…don't act as if you know me" he said as he went to walk out before she snapped something back at him before he closed the door.

"Well maybe I wouldn't have to act if you gave more then a couple people a chance to actually know you! And thank you…"

"…He looked back confused at her, then turned her head again.

"Why do I need your thanks"

"You're the first person to not ask what happened to me" As his eyes slanted as he looked at her threw the corner of his eye.

"I was told to try and get that information. Because the Hokage thinks you'd talk to me"

"Did she now? And I would say she made the right choice, because Naruto would have been to excited…and I cant stand when ABNU try to get information. It isn't always friendly…but im glad you didn't lord Kazekage. Tell the Hokage, I don't know what happened. All I remember is a voice. And the voice said. 'you left her alive? You've gone soft on me' then the other voice said… 'she's not the one I wish to kill'" said Onime silently.

"Lord Kazekage?"

"…" he stayed silent.

"Umm…tell the Hokage that, and that I am sorry I have no further information…I was blind sighted, he came up so fast I couldn't even recall to what happened…"

And with that he closed to door behind him and left. Leaving the girl to try and reach for the candy again.

"Just a bit further…" She murmured. As the bag suddenly lifted up and landed on her lap. She looked at the door and gave a faint smile.

"Naruto, wow…what an attack…"said Arashi as he rubbed the back of his head. As he stood behind the blonde boy, who was aiming at the old Hokage.

"Told you it was cool when it hit!" Smiled Naruto.

"….Naruto, how on earth did you…." Murmured Sakura it had been her first time actually seeing half its power….but she knew what would happen to him if he kept this up the way he did.

"So, sensei I see you've finally seen Naruto's most fearful and famous attack" Said Kakashi as he leaded against the tree reading those perverted books.

"There's no need to call me sensei. And im just amazed. I never though that…"

"Anyone would be able to do it, And have that much of an affect?" Said Kakashi as he

stood up placing his book away.

"…He-he…yeah" Smiled the Hokage as he joined his former student.

"You do know what this means right?" said Kakashi.

"Hmm?"

"He's stronger then you now, two years ago when he was fifteen he made that Jutsu work, three times. He couldn't even get it to work twice in practice. Now he's up to almost 4 without loosing himself completely. I admitted to myself that day, that he finally surpassed me, and I also realized then. No matter if you want to hear it or no. He's surpassed you as well."

"I know, I knew that when I met him"

"…?" Kakashi gave him a weird look.

"Something in his face, something about him. I knew then that he surpassed me…but"

"You hate to admit it?"

"Yes, that's something I though would never happen."

"But that's how it goes, like in Shuogi, all the tiles mean something. Take the knight for example, we would be the knights defending Konoha. And the king…"

"The Hokage?" said Arashi.

"No, that's what I thought first. Then I found the answer later when I played against

Shikamaru one day."

"The Nara boy?"

"Yeah, I played him and he told me this. That's what Asuma said to him."

"Asuma, hell of a kid…so then who's the king?" said Arashi as he looked forward with Kakashi who watched Naruto brag to Sai how he was stronger then him now, and Sai just give his fake smile.

"You should know"

"Huh?"

"OI! HOKAGE, KAKASHI! YOU PROMISED RAMEN!" Yelled Naruto.

"Well, did you figure it out?"

"Yeah, I guess I did. All the unborn children of Konoha. And other villages, who will grow up to be the next generation to surpass us?"

"That's what he told me, but…for now"

"For now?"

"Its Naruto's turn, its there generation who need to take control now" Said Kakashi, as Naruto ran away from Sakura who was braking the ground trying to hurt him for saying something idiotic, while Sai stood there.

"Your right, but…"

"But…"

"I never thought in a million years that there would be a day where I feel…"

"Old?"

"Ha-ha yeah" smiled Arashi…

"Don't feel bad, im older then you right now"

"Hey? You are, aren't you? By what a half year maybe?"

"…Im the elder"

"Then you pay" Smiled Arashi as he tackled Naruto and stopped the fight between the two. But the two blondes went flying in the air, from Sakura. And she looked scared because she didn't mean to hit the Hokage.
