Sasuke, Sakura and Sai were walking home from the Hokage office when Sai spoke.

"That Naruto kid is really something"

His smiling never falling, Sakura spoke next, voicing Sasuke's thoughts

"I thought he died though; I mean a Chidori to the heart…nobody can survive that"

Sasuke was quite for awhile before he spoke.

"Let's watch him"

They looked at him like he was crazy.

"I have a bad feeling about Naruto"

Naruto was walking down the street when he turned around; again he felt like he was being followed, he turned around and walked down the street. Sasuke, Sai and Sakura stepped out of alleyways, nodded to each other and followed Naruto again; Sakura and Sasuke almost had a heart attack when he passed right by the roman stand and didn't get anything, something was defiantly wrong.

"Stop following me. Get down here"

Shit! Sai stood up and jumped down from the roof, smiling.

"You got me. I had to see how good of a ninja you were; rumor being that you died fourteen years ago"

Naruto just looked at him before asking.

"Do you believe the dead should stay dead?"

Sai just starred.

"Never mind, just-"

Naruto just stopped as a person brushed by him; Naruto turned his head to the left and their eyes met. The person's eyes once a dull black flashed red and they held a smirk on their face, Naruto's blue eyes widened then flashed blood red. Then with out warning Naruto took off after the mysterious person; Sai, Sakura and Sasuke followed Naruto wondering who this person was, they followed Naruto for about an hour until they stopped behind trees, then it hit Sasuke and Sakura where they were at…it was where Team Seven first met and had to retrieve bells from Kakashi.

"I knew you were in this village"

Naruto sneered at the person; now the three can see that this person had shaggy black hair and was dressed in a dark kimono, the person raised their head to show that the person was about somewhere in the thirty's age range. Then did they get a shock, their eyes turned a crimson red and three tomoe's appeared; and the sharingan was staring down at Naruto.

"Really now? Sure he didn't tell you?"

Naruto's shoulder stiffened and his hair stood on end, when he spoke it was thru clenched teeth.

"You know as well as I….that Kyuubi is dead."

The person just smirked.

"And how should I know, Namikaze?"

Naruto's shoulders tensed more if that was possible.

"You killed him, MADARA!

The three starred at the person who was to be Madara, he smiled before he started laughing.

"You don't even know me, Brat! And yet you know my name! what a laugh, Minato taught you well"

Then black iron spikes stuck out of the ground just where Madara was standing not even a second ago.

"Couldn't handle me yourself, you needed your dad's help?"

"You wish"

Came from behind Madara, he turned around to see Itachi; a sword slashed the ground where he was just standing.

"He got away"

Strong arms wrapped themselves around Naruto as he sighed.

"Didn't I say to say there?"

The person shrugged; they had orange spiky hair, and when he turned around, they found out it was a guy, he had numerous piercings.

"Tried to stop him, but no, he want to see his Naruto."

"You're so not helping Itachi"

Itachi looked at him, before speaking.

"Course not! You tried to kill me…all I did was scare Naruto"

Naruto laughed as to taller men fought; Sasuke could only stare, one – his brother was alive and talking to Naruto and two – Pein was holding onto Naruto and finally…Naruto wasn't doing a thing about it.

"You should hid, people will freak if they see you two walking around. You're suppose to be dead"

Naruto had turned around in Pein's arms and jabbed his chest.

"You know your dead too"

"Yes, but Tsunade thinks I'm alive. And I need her to believe that until we kill or bring Madara back"
