There are a few reasons why this chapter is so late 1) church got a lot more interesting when I went to another church. 2) school was a living nightmare 3) I was in a sport during the spring.
I do not own Naruto so here is a peom Roses are red vilots are blue I do not own Naruto so please dont sue
Back in Konoha things were getting hectic with the last Uchiha gone to the enemy village that they smacked down with the yellow flash. Everything was on standby the missions stopped while the citizens were all nervous could the son of the former Hokage capture that Uchiha and take him back to his rightful home on the execution chamber, he was most likely going to be executed but not before they insured the Uchiha survival. The Huyuuga council was in a tizzy as well and that is saying something.
Back on the road Sarin and crew were jumping threw the trees looking for any trace of the renegade Uchiha. As the hours past so did the hope of finding Sasuke at all he was probably all the way to Iwa now. When the crew was just about to give up a clearing opened up before them. The moon was high in the sky and the star lights were seen all around. Sarin smiled and remembered when the stars were first formed. She was there on the soon to be earth when it was formless and void she saw the light when it was first formed pure and she had helped the deceiver corrupt the world now she was helping to save it. Naruto and the crew looked exhausted beyond belief so Sarin set down a scroll and summoned a house made out of earth. Sarin and the crew stepped inside and slept a peaceful night for once. As the crew reached the border of Iwa the ground became a lot more rocky and more rugged. Every now and then there was a skeleton of a shinobi laying to the side of the rode that has been there for a number of years. The retrieval party came up on an old battlefield that was said to be haunted by the ghosts of the past. Running threw the battlefield was a dismal task everywhere they went it seemed they were going up trenches and back down again. Naruto saw something strange pointing out of one of the trenches he bent down to retrieve it and found out was a helmet with an iron spike sticking from the top. The shape of the spike was a little like a kunie but so very different for Naruto it seemed that the person who wore the helmet got killed by the round part of a kunie but it didn't make any sense to him. Naruto put the helmet on and Sarin had just turned around and it looked like she was seeing one of the expelled angles from the war. She motioned for everyone to get behind her at once and got into an attack possession. Naruto looked at her and asked "Why are you looking like you are going to attack me we are friends aren't we?"
"Everyone run I'll take care of this demon impersonation."
"Its me Naruto." And he took the helmet off. Sarin looked suspiciously at him and moved up close to him. Seeing he was telling the truth Sarin Slapped him upside the head and yelled at him for what seemed like ages. Quietly Naruto took out a scroll of sealing and sealed the helmet into it seeing how it is a valuable artifact. Moving threw the battlefield rather slowly was a girl about the age of nine or then and herd the commotion her eyes were a pale green and it looked like she had a lot of bruising around her body. As she approached the group her body wanted to shrink away out of fear of pain from the shinobi that were passing threw until she herd a voice saying to trust the group because they had a queen among them. The young girl started to approach the group when Neji noticed her chakra signature and demanded "Come on out here and show yourself and we will not hurt you." The little girl reluctantly came out of the shadows of one of the trenches and Serin smiled at her sensing the hatchibi's chakra signature coming off of the young girl "Come on out we will not hurt you. I can feel you hosts fear hatch can you ease it a little bit she needs to be comforted by everyone. It will be for the best. Oh and before I forget you have been redeemed by your host when you were sealed in her and have reserved salvation and a full pardon."
The little girl felt the demons shock when he hard that and her body mimicked the shock. Serin smiled again and brought the little girl close to her. Serin bent down until she was at eye level with her and asked "Little one what is your name?"
The little girl seemed to think about it for a moment "Well the hatchibi calls me Cub and people like you call me demon."
Naruto looked down at the girl and smiled his foxy smile and said "Now now little one neither of those names are suitable for someone like you. Your not an animal or a demon so those names will not due. We will come up with a name for you. By the way did you see a black haired kid come by here with a konoha headband on?"
"I did see someone fitting that description and he went to the other side of the old battlefield."
"Come with us then you know this place better than any of us." Shikamaru stated
The young girl led them threw a plain that was marked with skeletons with both a regular helmet and one of the pointed hat helmet and once in a while there was a fadded stars and stripes on a helmet. There was a skeleton with a weird face like mask. The team got to the other side and in the first hill there was what looked to be a belt of mini kunies all strapped together in a near little line. Next to that there was a rusted barrel still caped and it had a skull and crossbones emblem across the barrel showing whatever was in there was deadly. Crossing the next few hills there was an old bunker with someone still in it but until they got close to the door they found it was a very much alive Sasuke Uchiha with one of the guardians of Iwa with him telling him how much power can be gained in Iwa. The Uchiha looked like a kid in a candy store he would be promoted to jonin if he joined and he be able to kill anyone in Konoha in the upcoming war. The guardian noticing the chakra signatures turned around and fired an earth jutsu at the group. Serin blocked the entire thing and blasted one of her own knocking out the last guardian. Sasuke fled yet again and the team just left him there to lay unconscious until they came back. The chance was still going on and on while they passed a bunch of ghost like solders Serin didn't have time to send the demons back to hell but there wasn't the time to do so. Each one of the solders had an iron cross around there neck as well as a red sash around there right arm. Most of the face looked grim in defeat while they marched there way towards the old battlefield some were running for what seemed to be for there lives. The old pantaloon seemed to be running strait threw the field and into the borders of the land of fire. As the team got further and further into enemy territory they passed the grave of Obito the further they got the closer they got to the renegade Uchiha. Sasuke seeing they were going to catch up to him threw something on the ground and he disappeared in a swirl of stones. The team seeing how they lost the renegade Uchiha stopped and walked back to the battlefield to spend the night. The team seeing that the guardian was still knocked out put chakra restrain seals on him and cuffed him up for them taking a prisoner. Naruto and Serin went out to look for any food and found plenty of canned rations that had lasted over the years. After the team ate each one of them scoured the battlefield looking for anything useful every now and then they found a saber that had been rusted over tons of little kunie later Serin telling that they were bullets but they could still be useful. Helmets were collected as well as a few waterlogged books which seemed to be in a different language. The entire battlefield was picked clean of anything that could potentially become useful for later. Naruto did his favorite jutsu and found the trenches went on for miles and miles in all directions and the shadow clones did the same thing as everyone else on the old battlefield. Each one fell into an exhausted sleep in the bunker were brave solders died. The next morning several coins were found but much to the dismay of the team they couldn't read the language they were written in only the numbers that was a date on them. A silver one said 1910 and had the half mark on it others said 1899 to 1915 and also between 1939 to 1944 on them, hoes coins were later strung and made into necklaces for themselves. By about 3 pm the next day they were out of the battle sight and running all the way back to Konoha with the things they found. At the main gate the chunin guards saw three unknown people comming up with the retrieval team one when he got close was a guardian of Iwa the other two were unknown females. The team made there way to the Kage tower and told Tsunade that retrieving Sasuke had been a failure but they got the demon container of hatchibi and the last guardian of Iwa as well as an Uchiha who had been missing at the time of the massacre. The positives out waded the negatives and so the mission was considered a success they had went above the expectations of everything even when it went from an A-class mission to and S-class mission. As a relaxation period progressed on into the night the coins and bullets were strung and the books later found out to be diaries, that couldn't be read, were dried, and the helmets were restored using Serins memories of the different helmets before the great flash that almost wiped out the entire human race. Serin carefully translated the diaries and found some rather interesting things about the trenches. Serin smiled once again as she strung the remain thousand bullets.
