Not a sound escaped from his movements as he moved from shadow to shadow, intent on reaching his destiny as fast as he could. Above him, dark grey clouds started gathering as he refocused his Chakra.

Pein has returned.

Before he even set foot in his own Country, it was already pouring. None of the Shinobis in the Country would even notice his return, was it not for the rain.

"How troubling." Pein muttered as he looked down from his position, the tower that overlooked the entire country. He sighed, before he turned to the wall. "Report."

From out of the wall, a figure emerged, known as Zetsu. Pein was not at all surprised that Kakashi hadn't defeated him. Zetsu tended to run away from battles he could not win, leaving an advanced clone of his behind.

"Konohagakure has grown too powerful, Pein." Zetsu said as another figure landed next to Nagato; the female Konan.

"Nothing has happened here in Ame." Konan let out. "Other than us three, we no longer have any Shinobi above Chuunin Level anymore."

Pein nodded his head as, behind Konan, five other bodies approached. "We don't need more than we already have. Now, Zetsu, what have you gathered?"

Walking the Road

- Chapter 10: Forsaken Jutsus

"Konoha has at least four Shinobis who equal the former Sannin Orochimaru, Tsunade and Jiraiya. Those are Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke and Hatake Kakashi." Zetsu started. "Inuzuka Kiba and Hyuga Neji come close thanks to an accident that happened during a mission in the past. They have a small amount of Uzumaki Naruto's Chakra that has permanently become theirs. It enhances their abilities, making them a true threat."

Pein nodded his head. "I have witnessed those two, yes. Continue."

"I have observed a lot. All of them have unique skills. Allow me to begin with Hatake Kakashi. He owns an incomplete version of the Mangekyou Sharingan, weaker than that of Itachi's. He has the ability of Dimension Implosion, being able to send his opponents away with the blink of an eye. This should not be dangerous, as he, being a non-Uchiha, needs time to prepare this technique. It is his trump card."

Pein nodded his head. "And yet, he managed to defeat Uchiha Madara."

Zetsu chuckled. "Madara-san was still not powerful..."

"And powerful no longer either..."

Pein simply stared. "And the other?"

"His Stamina is awful, comparable to that of Hidan's. His Ninjutsu is high, as you could have guessed. He knows more than a thousand Jutsus, after all. His Taijutsu and Genjutsu are equal and high. He seems to be a perfectly balanced Shinobi in all fields. Next time, we will eat him."

Pein smiled shortly as he motioned for Zetsu to continue.

"Haruno Sakura is a Genjutsu Specialist, A Poison Specialist, a Medic Genius and has perfect Control over her Chakra Systems. But, her Stamina is lower than Kakashi's. She also seems to possess the ability to use her Chakra to enhance her own strength. Although her speed is low, a Taijutsu battle is best to be avoided with the woman."

"She seems to be quite tasty, hm, Zetsu?"

"It seems we need to wait for a while. Attacking Konoha now, or taking the remaining Jinchuurikis and what's left of them would be bad timing." Konan said. "What do you think, Pein?"

Pein simply stared at Zetsu. "Nothing yet. Continue, Zetsu."

"Uchiha Sasuke. His Sharingan hasn't surpassed Itachi's, but that seems to be to his advantage. He is not becoming blind. He has copied the Black Fire Taijutsu Style from Itachi, but does not possess the ability to control Time and Space. He is, as Kakashi, a perfectly balanced Shinobi, with his Ninjutsu, Genjutsu and Taijutsu on equal, high levels. The young Uchiha also uses a poisonous sword, Orochimaru's Kusanagi. Thanks to a Bloodseal from Uzumaki Naruto, he can temporarily activate his Sharingan without it taking any Chakra from him. It also seems to be able to copy Jutsus in an even faster rate when he uses the Bloodseal."

"It's been a long while since I ate Sharingan eyes. We should take the Uchiha out; he might prove a great nuisance in the future."

"We will do nothing at all. Right now, Konoha is on high alert." Pein ordered.

"Uzumaki Naruto." Zetsu continued. "Has become the greatest nuisance. He by far surpasses all the others, on every field, except Genjutsu. Though one might believe Genjutsu is his weakness, using it against him will probably be useless. He has gained the skill of switching himself with his Clones. With this, he is basically immune to all Genjutsu. If he releases his Blood Seals, the advice is to simply abandon the battle field."

Pein snorted. "Next time, I will do him in."

---

"Konohagakure..." He murmured softly as he stared down at the village from the Hokage Monument. He couldn't remember a day where the vibes his village gave off were differently. Except for that one time where the Sound and Sand had attacked it.

Peaceful, yet deadly.

"Naruto." The blonde didn't turn around.

"Sasuke has awakened, but... He's..."

"Blind." Naruto finished. "I know, Kakashi. Don't worry. His eyesight will return to him. Whenever I lift the seals on my eyes, I'm blind as well for a day or two, sometimes for as long as a week, depending on how much I used it."

"Sasuke is not like you. He won't heal as quickly."

Naruto nodded. "True. But again, don't worry. I'll check up on him." There was a short silence. "But... He should be fine now, hm?"

Kakashi knew what he meant and nodded once. "Yes. He has achieved one of his goals. The one he wanted to finish no matter what."

The blonde sighed as he jumped off of the Yondaime's head. "Well, looks like Konoha can truly depend on its Uchiha again. There will be no reason for him to run anymore now."

"What about you? Can Konoha depend on you, Naruto?"

Naruto grinned widely. "Heh... Time will tell, Kakashi, time will tell."

"Indeed." The Copy Ninja then sighed. "Well, I have to go. Another mission. I'll be seeing you, Naruto-sama."

Naruto frowned. "Naruto-sama? What's with that, Kakashi?"

Kakashi scratched the back of his head, indicating he was somewhat uneasy. "Well, you've become a Legendary Shinobi. And you know, you ARE the Yondaime's son, after all. I figure I started acting like it." The grey-haired Jounin then bowed his head. "I'm sorry, on behalf of your father and your mother. They would've been proud of you."

Naruto didn't look at Kakashi as he bowed. "I'm over it, Kakashi. Don't bother."

"Ah." Kakashi smiled, and Naruto, though he wasn't looking at Kakashi, was also smiling. "Later, Naruto."

As Kakashi vanished, Naruto took one last look at Konoha from on top of the Hokage Monument, before heading home. "Yeah... Just Naruto sounds better..."

---

As Naruto jumped from roof to roof he noticed someone was approaching him from the other direction. He grinned as he realised who it was. 'I guess it is inevitable. We still do need to talk, after all...'

As Naruto landed on the roof of his home, he stood face to face with the other and bowed respectfully. "Hokage-sama. Nice to see you."

"Hm." Tsunade snorted. "We need to have a talk. Let's go to my office now."

"I'm surprised you didn't send someone to come fetch me." Naruto asked amused.

"Yeah, well, I need the exercise every now and then."

"No kidding..." Naruto pointed out. "How old were you again?"

Naruto found himself in the Hokage's Office the next second, sporting a bruise on the right side of his face. 'Damn her temper... But good accuracy.'

"Naruto?"

Naruto looked up to see Sakura standing in the office as well. He jumped up from the floor and sighed. "Hey... How's Sasuke doing?"

"Ah, I haven't had the time to check up on him, actually." Sakura said as she shot a glance at the papers in her hands.

Naruto blinked at her. "You haven't? Aren't you supposed to, you know, make time for him?"

Sakura snorted. "Naruto... I'm not that little girl anymore."

"I see, I see." Naruto noted, before Tsunade appeared behind him. "Ah, it's about time, I was getting bored." The blonde said, earning glares from both Sakura and Tsunade.

"Naruto, I have a few important things to tell you."

Naruto held up his hand. "Same here."

Tsunade grinned. "Me first, brat, I'm the Hokage."

"Yeah, yeah..."

"First off... Next time you decide to put those weird seals on someone, you should ask me first! Sealing Techniques are not to be taken lightly and you, Jiraiya and Kakashi are about the only ones in Konoha who have any knowledge about them. I now have an Uchiha in the hospital and no one knows how to treat him."

Naruto nodded.

"Which brings me to my second point. After this, pay a visit to Sasuke along with Sakura, so she can see how to heal someone in this situation." Naruto held up his hand, but Tsunade glared as she continued.

"Third, Uzumaki Naruto... Every Country has your name listed on their 'Shinobis to Avoid' List... That list doesn't exist, but you know what I mean. Your name and appearance are now known everywhere. You have now reached a spot that only the Yondaime has tread upon. Be careful and don't get too cocky, brat!"

Naruto nodded.

"Fourth, you are no longer Jounin Captain, but simply... Jounin. You'll be receiving high-ranked missions until the Genin Exams come up and then you'll get a team of Genin, along with... which brings me to my fifth point, the other two Legendary Shinobis of Konoha; Sakura and Sasuke."

"I refuse."

"Excuse me?"

"I wish to leave." Naruto asked. "Let me... wander the lands, like Jiraiya does. I need to do this."

Tsunade considered Naruto. "For how long?"

"I don't know."

"You mean you want to leave Konoha but don't know for how long?" Tsunade asked, glaring at Naruto.

The blonde nodded his head. "Yes. I am a Legendary Shinobi now, right? Can't I live the life Jiraiya lives?"

"Jiraiya is an Information Gatherer for Konoha. He does his work for Konoha. What will you do?"

"I don't know." Naruto shrugged. "Whatever you want, as long as I operate outside of Konoha."

Tsunade nodded her head. "Perhaps I can make something out of that..." She pondered. "Give me some time to set things up. Report to me in a week, Naruto. Now, check up on Sasuke." She turned to Sakura. "Go along with him."

---

The journey towards the hospital had been quiet and the first words were spoken in the hospital room, where Sakura and Naruto met Sai and Sasuke.

"Ah, ugly hag and no dick." Sai exclaimed. "Come to visit your old teammate?"

"Naruto? Sakura?" Came Sasuke's voice. The Keppan no Jutsu had made him blind, so he couldn't see who entered the Hospital Room, though the feel of Chakra could sometimes tell him enough.

The both of them had ignored Sai and turned to Sasuke. "Your eyes hurting, Sasuke?"

Sasuke shook his head. "No. I'm just wondering when I'll be able to see again." He was calm and... somehow at ease.

Sakura smiled and Naruto narrowed his eyes. Sasuke was different now after he killed his brother. "Kakashi has visited you already, hm? He spoke to you?"

"Yeah..." Sasuke whispered. "But it doesn't matter. How long will it take for me to get my sight back again, Naruto?"

"A week, I think. Truthfully..." Naruto looked at Sakura. "There's nothing anyone can do for a person having used Keppan, but to wait."

"Ah..." Sakura responded. "Ne, Naruto? Why... why do you want to leave Konoha?"

"You're leaving?" Sasuke asked.

Naruto sighed. "I need to have some time off."

"How long?" The Uchiha asked again.

"I don't know. A year? Maybe two?"

"Two years?!" Sakura exclaimed.

"That won't happen, Naruto-sama."

Two puzzled looks and one frown were sent to his person, but Sai didn't respond. "You have become quite important to Konoha, being its most powerful inhabitant."

"Naruto-sama?" Sakura and Sasuke repeated.

"Hm?" Sai didn't understand.

"Why are you calling him that?" Sakura asked.

"Calling who what?"

"Naruto." Sasuke replied. "Why do you respect him all of a sudden, Sai?" He said, while looking at nothing in particular, but still moving his head somewhat.

"Oh. His name is on equal grounds to that of Konoha's Sannin... But then, so are yours. Ugly hag and duckbutt."

"But, then why don't you refer to us the same way?" Sakura glared, clenching her fists.

Sai smiled. "Ah, I've read that it's alright if you choose to vary in your way of addressing people. I'd rather use the names I have already picked for you. The reason I call Naruto-sama as it is, is because..."

Sakura frowned and Sasuke waited.

"Because he's..." Sai smiled as Naruto glared at him. "You'll find out for yourself, somehow."

Sakura's glare moved from Sai to Naruto as it seemed the blonde had shut the black-haired Shinobi up. Naruto simply caught her glare with a simple neutral gaze. "I believe we are done here. Sasuke, your vision will return soon." He then turned to Sakura. "Tell Hokage-sama I will report to her in a week."

Sakura sighed as Naruto used Shunshin. "He's so difficult to talk with these days..." She grumbled.

"It can't be helped." Sasuke voiced. "I don't think he'll ever trust us again. Like back then."

Sakura snorted sadly.

"Naruto-sama." Sai started. "You realize, right? Danzou-sama has approached him and it seems... he accepted his offer."

"What are you talking about?" Sakura asked, getting slightly alarmed. "When did this happen?"

Sai's annoying smile returned, but Sakura knew that was just his way of letting know he was focusing his attention to her. "Yesterday. I was practicing on Jutsu along with my former Captain, when Naruto-sama suddenly walked in with Danzou-sama by his side. They seemed to be having quite the conversation, as they didn't even seem to notice us."

"You didn't overhear?" Sasuke spoke. "Surely, you must have."

Sai shook his head. "I can only venture a guess... Danzou-sama has something of use to Naruto and vice versa."

Sakura glared at her fists. "Naruto... He doesn't want to become Hokage anymore and... I can't tell if he still cares for Konoha. He has a lot of precious persons in his previous teams, but... Does he fight for Konoha or...?"

"Who knows." Sasuke let out indifferently. "What we do know is that Danzou wants to rule Konoha. We can't let that happen, no offense, Sai."

Sai didn't understand.

Sasuke continued. "With Naruto not working against him anymore, he's got a bigger chance to make a move and be successful." Sasuke's voice turned lower. "And... ROOT is powerful. All of its members can be considered close to my level of skill. I've fought ROOT before and lost."

Sakura watched Sasuke narrow his blind eyes. "Naruto is to report to Hokage-sama in a week? My eyesight won't have returned by then. Why does Naruto want to leave all of a sudden?"

Sakura and Sai both didn't know. "You think...?"

Sasuke nodded his head. "I think Danzou told him something. I don't know what, but Naruto is probably leaving because he's searching for something Danzou says is somewhere out there."

"Don't you think you are thinking too much about this? You are purely speculating." Sai pointed out. "Naruto-sama probably wants some... relaxation?"

"Naruto and relaxation don't mix." Sasuke and Sakura both said at the same time...

"Ah."

---

"I'll be honest with you, Hokage-sama."

Tsunade stared at the man before her. It had already been a week and Naruto wanted to hear if he had her approval or not.

"Danzou has made a request."

Tsunade narrowed her eyes. That old fool was still going at it? "What did he want?"

"The old man has ambitions, that's for sure. He's set up some of his subordinates to take his place when he dies, since that won't take long." Naruto started, spotting some hope in Tsunade's eyes. "He told me of something, though. The Stone seems to hold something that belongs to me."

"The Stone? I can only imagine it was your father's? Something he lost during the war?"

Naruto nodded his head. "Yes. After I go and retrieve it, I'll be starting my duty under you outside of Konoha."

"You go and retrieve it? What makes you think you can do that so easily."

Naruto grinned. "Well, seeing as I can do Kage Bunshin the way I do, I've tried something new. Using Keppan no Jutsu."

"Naruto..." Tsunade warned. "Without having any idea of how long your lifespan is, you're still going to use those Seals?"

Naruto shrugged. "I'm going to impersonate the Akatsuki with Kage Bunshin and attack Stone. With Keppan no Jutsu, though, my Kage Bunshin won't be as easily dealt with... But not only will I be impersonating Akatsuki. I will impersonate everyone who's listed in the Bingo Book!"

Tsunade stared at Naruto. "You've truly become strong, Naruto... Only you could charge into a Country with a thousand trustworthy men by your side."

Naruto chuckled. "Especially since they're all me!"

TIMESKIP – Two Years

---

"Jeez, sensei... You could have let us known you wouldn't show up yesterday!!"

Sasuke snorted at the three little children following him around. "I was there, you just didn't see me."

"Yeah right!!"

Sasuke considered them all with one glance as he kept on walking in front of them. "I observed you and concluded you guys are worthless without me there to tell you what to do. It is truly disappointing to see three Genin waiting for their sensei to arrive for more than four hours."

The Genin all shut up.

"Not only that. You spend all that time, six hours, doing nothing. You could have spent time on learning how to work with each other, learning how to overcome each other's weaknesses or training, but it seems you couldn't come up with doing any of those." The Uchiha explained. "Truly disappointing."

"But, you spent six hours observing us?! Doesn't that mean you could have done something more useful in those six hours as well?"

The Uchiha turned silent. "... I only watched you the first and sixth hour."

"Yeah right!"

"... I have a mission today. You three will be training with Haruno's team again." Sasuke said, changing the subject.

"Aaaaahhh..." The three Genin whined. "Why do you have so many missions, Sasuke-sensei?!"

Sasuke shrugged as he noticed Sakura's team in the distance. "It can't be helped."

"Good morning, Sasuke!" Sakura exclaimed as her and his team stood face to face. "Tsunade-shishou said you should hurry to the office. Uhmm, you're not doing this one alone, it seems."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes. 'Not alone?'

Sakura frowned, knowing Sasuke preferred solo-missions. "It can't be too bad, right?"

"Hn." Sasuke sighed as he walked past the pink-haired Jounin. 'I just hope I'm not paired with that idiot Lee.'

A Shunshin later and Sasuke stood in front of the Hokage's Office. "This better be good." He mumbled to himself, while regarding both Jounins guarding the door. "Genma, Aoba." The Sharingan user greeted.

"Ah, Sasuke-san." Genma let out in a lazy voice. "You're up for something."

Aoba chuckled. "Be well prepared." The black-haired elite Jounin said as he opened the door to the office.

Sasuke ignored them and set foot in the office, noticing the weird Chakra immediately. Instantly, his Sharingan went up as he stared at Tsunade and the other individual in the office.

"Ah, Sasuke, how nice a greeting." Tsunade pointed out. "I assume you still remember this brat?"

Sasuke's eyes were widened as he stared at the other. "Naruto?"

Naruto nodded his head once.

"What happened?" Sasuke asked.

Naruto sighed. "It seems using Keppan no Jutsu holds more disadvantages than just the shortening of the lifespan or temporarily absence of one or more senses."

"Uhh... How?"

"Before that old fool Danzou died, he told me of my father's explorations in Earth Country. I'm sure you've heard about what happened two years ago?"

Sasuke snorted. "No doubt it was you. Rumour was there were more than a hundred Fourth Hokages, raging their lands... Quite the elaborate prank, don't you think?"

"I found what I was looking for." Naruto said and shrugged as he revealed his entire right arm. "My Father's Last Jutsu."

Sasuke's Sharingan saw nothing at all in Naruto's right arm, not a single sign of Chakra. Actually... his right arm wasn't even there... "Then, your other? Chakra?"

Naruto grinned. "Clever as always, Sasuke."

Sasuke, in his Jounin Uniform, observed Naruto, who wore a bright white cloak with red flames on it. "I have something important to do in Whirlpool, and I need your assistance, since I believe you're the only one who can fight without losing your head where I'm about to go to."

Sasuke nodded his head. This sounded interesting. More interesting than anything he's heard in the last two years. This sounded exciting even.

"Pein is still alive and so are some other Akatsuki Members. That organization is still up and running and they've made Whirlpool theirs." Naruto narrowed his eyes. "Whirlpool is mine."

Sasuke frowned. 'Whirlpool is Naruto's? Why?'

As if reading Sasuke's question by looking at the Uchiha's face, Naruto continued. "My mother... She was originally from Whirlpool. My father from Konoha. So, I've started this, so I intend to end it as well."

Sasuke frowned. "You started what?"

Naruto grinned. "Collecting things that belong to my family, of course..."

---

"Those three are my students, Naruto." Sasuke said as they both landed in front of the clearing where they used to train as Team 7. "Those twins are Hinata's children. And the other is an Aburame."

Naruto frowned at the sight before him. "Hyugas with dogs?"

Sasuke smirked. "You can guess?"

Naruto nodded his head. "Kiba and Hinata, huh?"

"N-Naruto!?"

Naruto turned his head as he heard his name being called. "Sakura." He greeted with a small smile. "It's been a while."

Sakura slowly walked towards him. "You're doing fine, it seems... Other than the fact you're holding an awful lot of Chakra around you... What is it?"

Naruto sighed. "It's my left arm."

Sakura assumed it was painful subject. "Ah, have you seen my students?" Naruto shook his head. "I've got the Ino-Shika-Cho this time around."

Naruto grinned. "You're doing fine, I can see. Konoha looks peaceful again, with Jounins such as you two training Genin just like this."

Sakura nodded his head. "Konoha now is stronger than it has ever been. Even ROOT is no more, Naruto."

Naruto's gaze darkened for a second, but it seemed as if it was never there.

Sasuke noticed, though.

"Well, Sasuke and I have a mission to complete. When we return, I'll be a Konoha Jounin as well. Starting next year, I'll have my own team." Naruto shared. "Tsunade has already set up a team for me, so... it seems like... we're back."

Sasuke and Sakura looked shocked.

The way Naruto had said it was like...

Like the blonde had forgiven them and all of Konoha for everything that has happened.

'Whirlpool... I've got something for you.' Naruto thought, with great determination.

---

"So, care to explain?"

Naruto grinned as he and the Uchiha were slowly walking through the borders of Fire Country. He pulled of his white Cloak to reveal that he was missing his left arm and his right arm seemed completely metal. "Use your Sharingan."

Sasuke did as instructed and saw that Naruto still had a left arm, but it was purely Chakra. His right arm was not there, however... "Genjutsu?" Sasuke asked.

Naruto shook his head. "No, your Sharingan should be able to see that immediately. My left arm has become this way because I used the Keppan no Jutsu to increase the power of the Fuuton: Rasen Shuriken. My right arm is my father's last weapon; undetectable Chakra to fill in for the missing step."

"Missing step?"

Naruto shook his head. "This right arm is specifically built to fight Sharingan users or any Shinobi who can detect Chakra with ease. If I mold Chakra into the arm, no matter how much, it still remains undetectable... You'll see when we spar sometime. You'll understand better. For now all you need to know is that it's unpredictable." He said with a devilish grin.

"What about the other arm?" Sasuke asked apprehensively as his Sharingan noticed that Naruto's right arm held more Chakra than his own entire body.

Naruto smirked. "Completely undetectable to everyone EXCEPT the Sharingan user. With my left arm being nothing but Chakra, I have no worries executing my Fuuton Techniques... It's, in a way, the same as my right arm."

Sasuke nodded his head. "It's nothing, but everything."

"Heh, you're smart, alright. I didn't think you would figure it out without training with me."

Sasuke snorted. "I'm a genius with a fully developed Sharingan." He then deactivated his Sharingan. "But what weapons... With your arms and hands like that, it is impossible for me to copy your handseals whenever you do a Jutsu."

Naruto chuckled. "Exactly. And no one will know what kind of Jutsu I'm preparing either!"

"So it's true... You're the Legendary Unpredictable Shinobi, huh?"

TBC

In the next Chapter, watch how strong Naruto and Sasuke have grown during that two year gap!!

Is it too much?? The way I overpowered Naruto?

Naruto can still use both his arms and hands; yes, he can still eat ramen the way he does. I'll show it to you in a chapter or two.

Anyway, from here on in, the action is going from explosive to close to non-existent. Next chapter will be explosive, as Sasuke goes all out, while Naruto blows minds away with his techniques...

I hope you enjoyed the story!!

Ja naaaa
