Chapter 3: Going back part 2

Kiten and Katani ran till about noon to stop and rest. They had fish and some rice for lunch. After about thirty minuets of resting they decide to start again. After about 5 minuets of running they heard a loud, obnoxious shout. Katani used her power of astro- projection to check it out.

"Naruto you better get back over here! We need to find Sasuke and finish training together."

"Leave me alone Sakura."

"No, I know you're frustrated, but we need to go back to Konoha. Why are you even outside of the gates?"

"Because Sakura," Naruto said calmly and then yelled, "I wanted to be alone!" Sakura stepped back shocked. Naruto never had yelled at her or even told her to leave him alone. This was getting out of hand.

"Kakashi- sensei, Naruto is acting mean. He's never like that."

"I know," said a man with spiked hair and a masked face that covered everything but one of his eyes, "I don't know why he is acting like this, but let us leave him alone for now." They watched Naruto leave while Katani returned to herself.

"There is a ninja wondering out here alone Kiten. In about 2 minutes he will be here. Let's wait for him."

Kiten and Katani jumped into the trees and about 1 minute later he was there. Kiten saw Katani slowly release part of her chakra so that Naruto could sense it. Naruto took the bait.

"Hey, whose there? Show yourself now," Naruto yelled.

"My, my what a brave little boy," said Katani

"Who are you?"

"My, my. Aren't you being rude," said Kiten as he leaned against a tree. He then added, "The question is not who we are, but who you are."

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I'm going to be Hokage one day, believe it!"

Katani butted in, "Did you say Uzumaki? You can't be an Uzumaki. They died during when the Kyuubi attacked."

Naruto then asked, "You knew my family? What were they like? How do you know about them? Were they really powerful? How do you know about the Kyuubi?"

Kiten said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Kiten Heroshiro. She will introduce herself when the time is right."

"Correct, however you need to call me by something."

Kiten jumped in, "He can call you what I call you, Shadow."

"That will be fine for now. You can call me Shadow, until I am ready to tell you my name."

"Cool. Let's get you two into a hotel and you can tell all you know about the Uzumaki.
