Chapter 3: to kill and kill again
"I'm sorry, Sakura-Chan," Naruto said sadly as he lowered the Katana to her shoulders.
He moved it back three feet and with a swipe, a thud and a clang, both the sword and the head hit the floor.
There was a puff of smoke and "Sakura's" body and head changed into an old man's.
"What the hell?!" Naruto shouted, jumping back "That wasn't Sakura-Chan!"
"No Naruto, it wasn't." Orochimaru answered, eerily calm. "It was just a prisoner."
"Then why the hell did you make me think it was Sakura-Chan?!" Naruto yelled, clearly not bothered by the fact he had just killed someone.
"Because it was the best way to test your loyalty," Orochimaru said, "having you kill the girl you supposedly love. It was perfect, now I know I can trust you. Kabuto, take Naruto and brief him on his assignment."
As soon as Naruto was out of earshot, Orochimaru said this to Sasuke, "When Naruto comes back, you know what to do correct?"
"Hai." Sasuke answered.
"Good." Orochimaru said with a cruel smirk.
---------------------------------------------------------
"Ok here's what you're going to do," Kabuto said as they walked down the cavern hallway. "We need you to sneak into a village that's a day away from here, and kill one of the members on Kohona's council, since we don't want him gathering any support for the leaf.
"And then I'm going to find out who my family is?" " Naruto asked.
"Yes you are," Kabuto answered. When they got to the entrance Kabuto, gave Naruto the last bit of information on the mission.
"Watch him for a day or two before killing him try and find out what the leaf is planning, and he's sure to have guards, so don't get caught."

In Konoha:
Tsuande was a hurricane of anger and despair, and everyone in the village had been afraid to approach her, since she heard some people calling Naruto a demon, and had beaten them with in an inch of their lives.(Editor's note: Good for her! Evil smirk)
Hinata on the other hand had refused to eat, Ino (who knew of Hinata's crush) had gotten her to eat some dango, but she couldn't even look at ramen with out bursting into tears.
The rest of the Kohona 11 was also feeling sad, because Naruto's death affected them so greatly. Lee had started crying and began running around the village 200 times on his hands in honor of "the extinguishing of Naruto's flames of youth" as he put it. Shikamaru wore a black armband, as did all the other guys of the Rookie nine. Choji ate less, which in his clan, is a sign of extreme depression. Kiba was a little quieter, and Shino was said to have cried a little when he heard the news.
Needless to say, they were all confused when the village held a party the same day.
(EN: The jerks...)

The next day
Naruto had checked into the same hotel the council member whose name he learned was Kaigi Buzai (1) the day before. He had a kage bunshin under a henge tail him as much as possible while searched his room. Naruto found a document with a few references to "the council's plan" He thought it was important and copied it. While his Bunshin tailed the target he had nothing to do, so he trained. He practiced Chakra control by walking on the ceiling while about 20 clones read scrolls, practicing his sword style (a variant of the standard one but with a bastardized version of Zabuza's) played shogi, and learned to sew/cook ( he lives on his own and can't afford clothes, so he needs to know this stuff).
After about half an hour, Naruto got a throbbing headache and fell of the ceiling, but was caught by a few clones.
More jutsus? But how? Naruto wondered. It looks like I've got more questions for my family.
Naruto started physically training by benching/ lifting with his legs the couch in his room, and continued this pattern until his clone knew all he needed.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The day after
Naruto woke up around 6, took a shower, and threw on his shirt before he made some eggs for breakfast and looked in the mirror (AN: most exciting sentence ever. EN: NOT!).
He had grown a lot in the past few days. Physically and mentally he was smarter, and not bothered by the fact he had killed and was going to kill again, yet he was a little confused as to why he had been able to kill and not break down like so many other gennin would have in a situation where they would die, much less in cold blood.
Naruto had shot up to about 5'1 (that's some where between 155cm and 166cm I don't like the metric system so I don't know). His hair had become silver with blonde tips, something he found very odd. Also his eyes had become slits (not as much as when he used the kyubi's chakra but still slits) and his muscles were also well-toned. He grabbed his new clothes his Bunshin had picked up and put them on. His new outfit was the same as the Nidame's but completely black (sans Body armor).
Naruto decided to do his job like a good assassin, and do it so no one would know what happened. He snuck into Kaigi's room and put some pills into all the food they had. Then he climbed back out the window and waited.
A few minutes later Kaigi walked in with his body guards. He was a heavy man twice as heavy as Naruto and only a little taller. He wore a black suit. He came in the room and started eating some, claiming "He was hungry". But then he started to gag, and one of his guards a brown haired man about 180cm tall with a standard shinobi outfit (you know all black?) rolled his eyes.
"I told him to chew his food" The man (whose name Naruto had learned was Tabi) said. He went in to check on him and
"What the Hell" Tabi said when he noticed Kaigi on the floor foaming at the mouth. "Shiryou get in here" He looked in the room to see his partner with a kunai in his neck.
"Oh hello" A semi silver haired kid said as he pulled the kunai out of Shiryou's neck.
"Did you kill him" Tabi asked
"Hm… lets see I just pulled it out, I poisoned the fat guy in there, what do you think?" Naruto asked.
Tabi made a few hand seals Shokka-shuriken (2) a dart made of energy flew from his hands and quickly slammed into Naruto's head or would have if he didn't body flicker and kicked Tabi in the back. The Jonnin spun around and threw some kunai. Naruto again used the body flicker and charged with his Katana Hitting him in the gut with it then tripping him. Tabi jumped up and threw more kunai then spun around just before Naruto Body flickered and launched another Shokka-shuriken. The second dart slammedinto Naruto's arm causing him to drop the katana. Tabi acted on this and charged him. Naruto balanced on his hand and did a strange spin kick knocking Tabi back. The Semi blonde elbowed him in the face and shoved him back. The Taller one jumped back and threw a kunai; he quickly made hand seals and turned the one kunai into 10. Naruto went threw his own hand seals and Suiton: Teppōdama(3). The water flew out of his mouth and knocked down all the kunai. He grabbed his Katana and body flickered. The Jonnin jumped forward hoping to dodge the impending blow but Naruto Threw his sword and went straight though Tabi's throat.
Naruto took a breath and retrieved his sword he had several Bunshins clean up the apartment and hide the bodies. But not before Naruto took Kaigi's head as proof of the kill. Naruto Went back to his room and grabbed his stuff then rocketed out of the village.
Finally I'll know my family
AN: notes and thank you
(1) Yes his name is Council member
(2) An Original Jutsu of mine Shocker dart
(3) Water release Gun shot
Naruto's Katana is 2 Shaku long (2 ft or 60 cm I think), it's the standard Katana except for the fact it has a guard for the hand and its straighter edge. And thanks to my Editor Ginjka Renemon (or how ever you spell your name)
