A/N: Hello everyone, I hope you have enjoyed the fanfic so far, and also I'm still new to this, so my fics wont be so good, I'd love to hear any tips that would help me make my fics betters in the future, but anyway, here is the 5th chapter, also, Shippuden spoilers.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto owns Naruto, I only own my OC's and made up techniques.

It was peaceful day, the cool breeze swept through the trees, echoing their tunes.

A tall man with dark brown hair tied in a pony tail, dark eyes and wore a long brown coat which went down to his knees, standard shinobi pants and sandals with a sword sheathed at his side sat at the front of the bar, drinking a glass of water.

Once he was finished he ordered another one, he drunk down that one as well and placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. Suddenly a hail of kunai and shuriken shot through the bar, ripping through everything that came into contact with them.

A squad of 9 shinobi stood on the trees, they all had Iwagakure headbands on and looked smug, thinking they had killed their target.

One of them suddenly dropped to the ground, his head stuck on the branch that was above him. The Iwa shinobi quickly stood guard, only for another to fall, his body impaled on the branches beneath him.

They were all nervous now, what was going on. Rustling in the bushes made them throw a bunch of kunai, blood spilled from under it, making them think they had killed him.

Two of them jumped to the bush and found the headless Iwa shinobi impaled by kunai.

"Where is he" one of the Iwa shinobi spoke frantically, looking around for the killer.

"I dont know" the second said, his hand on a kunai.

"I'm here" they didn't have time to react as he said "Wind Style: Exploding Wind Pressure" a ball of wind exploded in the middle of the Iwa shinobi.

All of them were imapled on the tree branches, the dark haired man watched with no emotion at the act he had done.

He strolled over to the destroyed the bar and pulled the bartenders body from under the rubble.

"I'm sorry" he said, putting a fang on his body before walking away.

Naruto layed on a hospital bed, hooked up to machines to keep him alive. All of his friends stood around him, worrying and hping that he would wake up soon.

"Bee, what happened" A said, his voice completely serious.

Bee started to recap everything "When you sent us out on a mission with those Shock anbu, we were attacked by some unknown shinobi, we easily dispatched them. In the night, Naruto was in a meditating postion, probaly speaking to Kyuubi, when suddenly he started bleeding, it was everywhere and we had to get him here, I dont know what the cause was" Bee finished.

One of the medic nin walked in "Naruto Uzumaki is stable, Raikage-sama, it seems that the Kyuubi had kept him from dying, barely" the nin finished, everyone sighed in relief, but were still worried.

"Lets let him get some rest" everyone nodded and walked out, although some did, reluctantly.

Mindscape

Naruto woke up inside his mindscape in front of the cage with the paper that said seal on the front.

"Kyuubi, what happened" Naruto asked, he was curious and still couldn't help but shiver at the pain he had experienced.

"It failed" Naruto looked on in confusion "Failed?".

"Yes, and I know why, this seal is more powerful then Raidens" Naruto stared at Kyuubi suspiciously.

"What do you mean Raiden" Naruto said.

Kyuubi sighed, knowing he couldn't keep it from him forever, it was a matter of time "Raiden was one of my Hosts" Naruto looked on in shock, but Kyuubi continued "The reason why you can use red lightning is because of me, it is a side affect. Raiden was an orphan which was brought into the Uzumaki clan after they found him in a battlefield. They brought him up, but there host was old and dying, so they sealed me into him. I gave him a choice, he chose manipulation over only lightning, that is why he could use Lightning Force. The price to gaining power was that I would be free, once I was, the Uzumaki clan had followed Raiden and put me into another host, Kushina Uzumaki" Naruto nodded, he had known that Kushina was his birth mother and container over the Kyuubi.

"I told you to choose when we were outside the village so I would not kill people from there. But this seal is powered by the Shinigami, meaning that the plan backfired and you took the brunt. I'm sorry Naruto" Kyuubi said, hanging it's head as it finished the sentence.

Naruto just laughed and waved him off "No apologies, It's fine, oh yea, what gender are you" Kyuubi then said "I'm both" Kyuubi quickly looked to the side, embarrased and Naruto was pale "That didn't come out right, I mean that I can be any gender I want, but in truth I dont have one" Naruto nodded in relief.

"Well, time for you to go" Kyuubi said.

Naruto was then thrown out of his mindscape.

Mindscape End

Naruto slowly woke up and saw a few people standing around him, C, Bee and A.

Naruto noticed that his vision was strange, it was like he could only see out one eye.

"Naruto" Naruto turned to A "When you fainted, you lost your left eye, it completely turned to blood and I dont know what is going on" A said.

"Me and Kyuubi made a deal, it backfired" A, C and Bee nodded, they knew Naruto wasn't telling them everything but they didn't question him.

Suddenly a hawk flew in through the window and landed next to Naruto. Naruto shrugged and pulled the note from the bird.

"What does it say" A said, curious as to what Naruto got.

Naruto opened the letter.

Dear Uzumaki Naruto

We hereby invite you to compete in the dragon tournament

If you win, you shall obtain very rare prizes

You are allowed to bring a friend

A map is in the seal at the end of the letter

We hope to see you there

There are no resrictions in the tournament

We hope to see you fight

Signed

Mazeras

Naruto finished reading and said "Whats the draogn tournament" A stepped back in shock.

"You were invited" A yelled in complete surprise.

C, Bee and Naruto looked at A in confusion, what was he so surprised about.

"Only the strongest are chosen to go to the tournament, I was going to put you into the chunin exam in the leaf village, but this is perfect, if you win you get incredible prizes, if you dont win but do well, you get an automatic jonin rank" Naruto stared in shock, he was so going to do it.

"We are going to double your training, no triple it" the Raikage said, he felt so proud of Naruto for getting invited to such an event.

"The note said I can bring someone with me, I'll bring C" Naruto said, smiling.

C smiled as well, he had heard about the legendary warriors that have competed.

Naruto was filled with a new determintation and would not fail, he gave his word.

In a room a man with orange redish hair with orange eyes and a coat with a dragon on the back sat, drinking his tea as he had finally finished giving out letters.

"Lord Mazeras, have you finished" one of his guards said.

"Yes" Mazeras responded as he took another sip.

"This tournament is going to be fun, I can just feel it" Mazeras said, as he was the host of the dragon tournaments.

A new guard started tlaking to the other "What is so good about this Mazeras guy" the other guard stared in shock.

"Lord Mazeras has mastered the element of fire and wind, he has defeated countless foes, from chunin level to that of kages. His chakra is said to rival that of tailed beasts and he can decimate forests in a single jutsu. He has been able to do high level techniques with single hand signs and is considered even stronger then Raiden" the Guard said. The other stepped back in shock and noted not to ever disrespect this man.

Mazeras smirked and continued to sip his tea, excited for what the exams would bring.

In a cave the dreaded Akatsuki planned.

"Itachi, Kisame, I want you to head to the dragon tournament and try and capture any Jinchuuriki that are there, but do not get caught, as the host would surely kill you" then leader of Akatsuki said.

Itachi nodded and Kisame grinned, he wanted to see these powerful shinobi, he had heard that many of them were kage level.

"Kisame, do not think to fight them" Kisame sighed, he did not know how the leader knew what he was thinking.

"Kakuzu, I want you to gain more funds for our plans and Sasori, I want you to gain more information about the Jinchuuriki's strength" Kakuzu and Sasori nodded and disappeared as did Kisame and Itachi.

A/N: Chapter 5 finished, hope you enjoyed. Also Raiden is considered the strongest, but he is the strongest in lightning manipulation, but that does not mean that he cannot be beaten. As there are more powerful then him. I skipped the chunin exams for Naruto because the dragon tournament would further develop him. But don't worry Naruto will have to go to the leaf sometime and also I wont leave out characters like Omoi, Karui or Samui, they will have there chance and so will Yugito, so good bye.
