"Talking."
'Thoughts.'
"Techniques."
'I wonder where I should go next.' Naruto mused as he continued making his way through the desert. 'Maybe I should go looking for the Akatsuki and the other Biju, that might be a bit of fun.'
He paused and cocked his head to the side, staring at the bit of forest far off in the distance.
"Well, since I made the trip to go see Gaara, I should visit Konoha and see how Baa-chan and the others are doing." Naruto mumbled, vanishing without a sound as he made his way towards his old home.
Konoha
One Tsunade Senju was drunkenly stumbling down the streets, crying and sobbing about the loss of her godson to a traitor who people continued to worship.
'That little shit!' Tsunade cursed in her mind, images of the arrogant Uchiha flitting through her mind.
"I'll kill you!" She growled, drawing the attention of the villagers passing by on the streets.
The people could only stare at their Hokage in pity, ever since Naruto had died, things hadn't been quite the same in Konoha. Tsunade had been drinking more than ever, even more than she drunk after the deaths of her brother and fiance. Jiraiya had left the village and become even more focused on his spy network, hoping to track down Orochimaru and exact vengeance for the mans role in Naruto's death, no matter how small it may be.
However, the one most affected by the blonds death was none other that Hyuuga Hinata, the clan heiress. She barely responded when spoken to, stumbled around from place to place in a daze and seemed to have lost the meager amount of self-confidence Naruto had instilled in her.
Other than those three, Iruka, the Ichiraku family, and Konohamaru and his friends, few others in Konoha seemed to care about the dead Uzumaki. In fact, his teammate Haruno Sakura was was heard saying that she was actually happy that Naruto had died, he had promised to bring back her precious Sasuke and failed. This seemed to be an opinion shared by their team leader Kakashi, who seemed to smile more often and spent less time at the memorial rock.
While Tsunade stumbled home in a drunken haze, a certain blonde looked on in sadness at the state of his surrogate grandmother even three years after his death. He was tempted to go to her but decided not to, seeing him might cause her to fall into a deeper depression, especially as he couldn't stay for too long, the Shinigami were sure to sense him eventually.
He was about to blur away when his keen senses picked up something, a whisper of his name followed by soft crying. Shrugging, he decided to investigate the sound only to come across a shocking sight. Hyuuga Hinata was inside his old apartment, she was crying, and she was just about to hang herself.
Before he even thought about it, Naruto found himself inside the room, the shredded remains of the rope lying at his feet and a shocked Hinata staring up at him from the floor where she had fallen.
"Hinata, what the hell are you doing?" Naruto shouted, his old personality leaking through the layers of demonic and hollow changes.
"Naruto-kun?" Hinata gasped, staring at him with wide eyes.
"Yeah Hinata, it's me." Naruto sighed, so much for leaving undetected.
"H-how are you still alive?" Hinata asked, suspicion and a small tinge of hope leaking into her tone. "Kakashi-sensei brought back your body, we all saw it, Sasuke pierced your heart with a Chidori."
"I'm still dead Hinata, your Byakugan should be able to tell you that." Naruto replied, looking off to the side. "and Kakashi lied, he was the one who killed me, not Sasuke."
"Wait if your dead then how are you here, how can you be talking to me?" She asked, tears starting to form at the thought of him leaving her again.
"I can't explain right now Hinata, maybe someday but I dont have time right now, someone might see me." Naruto replied, he didn't really feel like explaining the afterlife right now. Seeing her head droop in sadness, he continued on."Don't worry though, I'll see you again, especially if you agree to help me with something."
Hinata's head snapped up at that.
"What is it Naruto-kun?" she asked, she was more than willing to do anything if it meant having him back in her life.
"I need information about the Akatsuki, Konoha must have learned much about them after three years, I need any information you can find." Naruto replied, his face and tone conveying the seriousness of his request. He might have learned quite a bit from Sasori and Deidara bit it would be useful to know what the village knew, any information could be useful.
"Also give this to Tsunade-baachan." Naruto continued, grabbing a scroll and jotting down a quick message. "Hopefully this will ease her worries and get her to help you, I cant come back for good but I can still visit from time to time."
"Alright Naruto-kun." Hinata agreed taking the note, she had questions, a lot of them, but she didn't want to risk never seeing him again. "I'll take it to her tomorrow morning."
"Thank you and goodbye Hinata." Naruto smiled, making his way to the window. "I'll always watch over you so please dont try to end your life again, I'll come and visit when I can."
With that he vanished.
Groaning in annoyance at the knock at her door, Tsunade looked up from her paperwork, she was incredibly hungover but Shizune had hidden all her sake and she wouldn't get more until she finished her work.
"Come in." she growled, raising a brow as the door opened and Hyuuga Hinata entered, it was surprising seeing the girl out and about, she rarely left her home and when she did it was only to visit Naruto's apartment, the Ichiraku ramen or to join her team on a mission.
"Hokage-sama, I have a letter for you from an old friend." Hinata spoke, sounding better than she had in a very long time.
Taking the proffered scroll, Tsunade unrolled it and began reading.
Yo, Baa-chan
It's me, the world's most unpredictable ninja Uzumaki Naruto. No I'm not alive but I'm not really dead either, I cant really explain but it has something to do with the bastard fox. I came to visit the village yesterday and saw you in the streets, I'm glad to see that you're still mourning me but you need to lighten up on your drinking.
Anyway, other than to cheer you up, I wrote this because there are a few things I need to tell you. First off Sasuke-teme wasn't the one who killed me, it was Kakashi-teme. Sasuke was unconscious at the end of our fight and Kakashi attacked me from behind, anything he's told you about that day is a lie.
I know this might be hard to believe so I ask that you show this letter to Ero-sennin, at the bottom of the scroll are a few seals he showed me during the Chunin exams, he said only a toad summoner can know these seals so hopefully that's enough proof for the both of you.
Lastly, I was hoping you could train Hinata-chan for me, she's a very good friend and I want her to be able to protect herself and her precious people like I once did. Ive asked her to look up some information on the Akatsuki for me, I may be dead but I can still take care of those guys and stop them from getting the Biju. I've gotten really strong while I was gone, just ask Gaara, he was there when I killed two Akatsuki members and saved hi,.
I miss you baa-chan but know that I'll always be watching over you.
Uzumaki Naruto.
P.S. Make sure to tell Shizune-neechan that I said hello.
Staring at the letter in shock, Tsunade looked up and focused on Hinata. Sensing the question on the blonds mind Hinata nodded, confirming that the letter had truly come from Naruto.
In a blur of movement, Tsunade leapt from her chair and embraced the younger girl in a tight hug, tears streaming down her face as she mumbled "Thank you" over and over while mentally thanking Kami for answering her prayers.
It was a good ten minuted before she released Hinata and called for Shizune.
"Shizune, send a message hawk to Jiraiya, there is something you both need to see."
With Naruto
Soaring through sky at incredible speeds, Naruto made his way towards the closest Jinchuriki he could sense, there were two signatures located in one location.
Kumogakure
He then saw the two guards walking a straight path back and forth the gate. He then flash stepped past them and towards the town looking for the ANBU Headquarters.
He then saw an ANBU member going into the forest. Smirking, he started masking his spiritual powers as chakra was made of mental and physical energy so if one was masked then they couldn't sense it. He then saw the ANBU member run into a building with what seemed to be a genjustu hiding it from sight.
Seeing as the ANBU's job was done, he killed him and dragged him into the trees nearby, dressing himself in the mans clothes to hid his identity.
He walked into the building and saw a member walking into the door next to him, he then decided to open the door and he saw the library next to it. He walked into the library and saw the file cabinet, he opened it and searched through it until he found the folder he needed.
Nii Yugito and Killer B.
He was just about to leave when he saw a file that intrigued him.
"Jinchuriki training." Naruto murmured, taking the folder along with the others.
He then heard some voices coming nearer and disappeared.
Two ANBU members then walked to the files cabinet to update some files when they saw it open. Thinking the worst case scenario, they called the sensor and tracking ANBU ninjas to find the supposed intruder.
With Naruto
Naruto was rushing towards the gate when he felt a large source of chakra chasing him. Smirking, he thought of how foolish they were to think of catching him. He then used flash step but not before leaving a clone.
The clone smirked as he felt them coming and after a few seconds he pointed his finger at them. He then whispered "Cero." and out came a beam of energy towards the chasing ANBU.
Those poor ANBU, they never saw it coming. Ha if these were the elite of the village then he could see why Akastuki got most of the villages Jinchuriki with relative ease. That or they were sold at a price. Naruto narrowed his eyes at that part thinking that he would also kill the people who had done that injustice.
What would have been their certain death was then swatted away by one of the fastest and most powerful person in the village of Kumo.
The Raikage.
He was currently panting at the amount of force and charka needed to deflect the attack. It was so strong that it had managed to burn him through his lighting armor. Frowning at that fact, he then ran to the clearing where he sensed the buildup of power, only to find a note:
The fox is always watching your weapons.
El Zorra ( The Fox )
Crunching up the paper, he told his ANBU to go to the base to find any clues while he went to the Raikage tower. He needed to call a meeting about what could be a dangerous problem.
When the Raikage left, a shimmer in the air formed before it became the clone Naruto who was hiding, making a small grin, he disappeared in a poof knowing his boss would enjoy this.
Oh how right he was. Naruto was smiling after receiving the memories of the clone. He momentarily stopped reading after receiving his clone's memories. Right now he was reading about where the special locations were and he was a bit shocked at how few places there were for Jinchuriki training.
'Then again, they're mostly hated for their whole lives so why bother trying to help them.' Naruto mused before closing the folder and decided to open the folders containing the stats about Kumo's Jinchuriki. He open the one named 'Killer B' and started to read.
Name : Killer B
Relatives : Raikage A ( adopted brother ).
Status : Jinchuriki of the Hachibi.
Rank : Elite Jonin / Bodyguard for the Raikage.
Taijustu : Low Jonin.
Ninjutsu : High Jonin.
Genjustu : High Chunin.
Kenjustu : High ANBU.
Note:
B is also known as one of the fastest people alive except for the now decease Yellow Flash of Konoha and his brother A. Also note that he is a master of his Jinchuriki because of special training at an undisclosed location. Another thing of importance is that he is a master of kenjustu as he is able to wield eight swords at the same time. Also, while not important as the rest please be patient with him as he always raps no matter what. Even in the third great ninja war he still rapped.
Naruto sweat dropped a little at the last statement. He then looked at the next folder.
Name : Ni Yugito.
Relatives : None.
Stats : Jinchuriki of the Nibi.
Rank : Jonin.
Taijustu : High Jonin.
Ninjustu : ANBU.
Genjustu : Low Chunin.
Note:
Ni Yugito is a powerful Jinchuriki, while she may not have total control of her biju, she is able to use a partial transformation into her biju. Another thing is that she is also able to make her own jutsu, unlike Killer B who dosen't except for a few.
Naruto whistled after reading these folders. He decided to wait for Akatsuki to make a move before he did anything. Naruto then proceeded to seal the folders and look backwards and saw two people staring at him. One with an emotionless face while the other one had a shark like grin.
"Uchiha Itachi and Kisame of the mist, what brings you here?" Naruto asked.
"We need you to come with us Naruto-kun." Itachi said emotionlessly but if you knew Itachi before the massacre you could tell that he was slightly happy. Naruto was one of those people.
"Sorry but I don't feel like having two S-rank Criminals capturing me and killing me now do I, but if you want to get me well then you just have to beat me." Naruto said, taking a stance and slightly pulled out part of his blade out.
"Fine then brat we'll take you by force if we have to." Kisame said pulling his blade out from his back while Itachi moved his legs slightly, ready for anything.
Then they waited for the signal for them to start. A small breeze flew passed them, then in a split-second they disappeared.
But they knew one thing. Only one side will survive.
