________________________________________________________

It was early in the morning for all of Suna's citizens, even a hellish desert has a darkness at some point, but its sunrise is a thing of beauty to see. Naruto Uzumaki was one of those lucky enough to see it. Sakura had woken him up and told him to prepare for the exhibition, though not before naruto helped sakura get back to sleep, in an intimate way. So naruto is now sitting atop a wall overlooking the sunrise.

"Geez, burn my skin why don't cha."

"You know naruto, war is overshadowing the 5 great countries, but even the sun cannot be blocked by mans darkness, to see it is a true sight to behold."

Gaara was standing next to naruto, who didn't seem fazed by gaara's ominous but hopeful talk.

"Yeah, yeah contrary to popular belief, my 'sagely insight' is zero to none, so don't expect me to agree and counter it with something even wiser."

"Still a jokester, to think, a year ago when you came here for a week, you drunkenly stated how you should shred konoha and all its inhabitants to their knees, and now, you've softened somewhat."

"I still want them to kneel before me, just not as many."

Naruto began to get up and walked past gaara, but not before saying.

"Tell youre men to sharpen their swords, every inch of flesh they cut from me will help them."

"You know they have no chance, but thanks, please just incapitate them, well need them."

Naruto jumped all the way to the stadium grounds and began to meditate.

6 hours later

Naruto opened his eyes, 6 straight hours of gathering natural energy and he felt incredible, he was gonna need to be at top strength for this fight.

Naruto got up and waited for the Sand Ops to arrive, three teams of four, of the very best, he was gonna be sore after this. They soon arrived along with the whole of the Suna ninja force, all applauding for the Ops team, but still respectful of naruto and his title.

"Well then, are the three Suna Ops ready?"

"We are."

"Is the legendary toad sage ready to fight?"

"Yup."

"Hajime!!"

Naruto immediately back-flipped so his feet were on top, and began to spin them rapidly. A small tornado began to form and naruto began to send kicks to his opponents, which became blades of air.

"Shit, A team, throw paper bombs to get him off balance, B team, prepare fire jutsus for any more wind techniques he has!"

Naruto however immediately stopped after hitting A team while they were preparing the paper bombs, but only got one.

'Well, every bit counts, gotta go one team at a time.'

Naruto began to charge to the other 3 memebers of A team, and began a taijutsu fight, opting for a style relying mostly on the force of his punches, which combined with his now natural ability to use frog katas, mean even missing them makes him win, as the other two memebers realized after missing his punch by an inch, only for their faces to be reshaped to his fist.

The last member retreated back a few feet, but went forward when the order came from the leader.

"C team, back up A team with kenjutsu, show no mercy, if we don't fight with the intent to kill, we wont win, B team, switch to earth style for support.

'Crap, this guy is too good for me to take this one by one, ill need to use my jutsus, I was hoping to not need to use ninjutsu for awhile.'

Naruto clasped his hands together and shouted.

"Senpo: Cho-Oodama Rasengan!"

Naruto's rasengan immediately exploded to twice his size, and he soon threw it at the C team leader. The resulting explosion gave naruto the opportunity he needed to go in the dust with his sage mode now activated, feeeling around for the teams chakra, and soon found the remaining A team man along with C team, naruto went to the team and used his frog kata to sword fight with the squad.

Naruto was impressed, these 5 knew what to do against his kata, use the tip of the sword to make sure the kata's invisible hand the natural energy gives wouldn't reach far enough to hit them was a brilliant idea, and these swords were obviously made to withstand abuse for years to come, hed need to rethink how to go at this with the few seconds before the dust cleared.

"B team, NOW!!"

A huge sphere of fire raced towards naruto and the sand around sooned to glass shards around him, cutting him with small, but numerous cuts around his body, and as he got out of the glass prison, what he guessed was C team came at him with a bunch of shuriken in hand.

"Fuuton: Slicing shuriken!!"

The shuriken soon became the medium for the wind chakra to form shuriken and became as large as windmill shuriken.

'Dammit, what the hell have I been doing at that mountain for 6 years, if 3 teams of Suna Ops can outmatch me, what badass toad sage am I!'

Naruto then thought that for him to win, hed have to rely on everything, no holding back, everything in his arsenal would be used.

Naruto then raised his hands in the air and smashed them to the ground, making a small but still unbalancing shockwave for the C team members. Naruto then raced to them with his Rasenrengan to take out two of them, while immediatwly after, using his Fuuton: Bellowing Roar to clear all the glass and send it to B team on the other side of the stadium. With B team distraught for a few minutes, the three members of C team were alone and soon to be unconsciouss.

Naruto jumped to their position and engaged in a taijutsu fight with them, but he soon noticed the leader backing away, only coming to fight for quick guerilla moves, then backing away to circle them for odd amounts of time.

'What the hell is he doing, it doesn't make sense.'

Naruto then realized his fight was being dragged towards B team and that's when it hit him. Whenever the leader went away to circle them, it was merely to get naruto's attention on the stupid maneuver so he wouldn't figure out the ploy they were doing.

'Crap, well if I said I was being serious I might as well use it.'

Naruto then moved towards B team and attacked them while completely not caring they were armed to the teeth with paper bombs. Naruto then charged straight towards them but reversed and faced C team and threw a three pronged kunai at the team, who easily dodged it.

B team then threw the paper bombs near naruto as he stopped right in front of them, but the explosion obscured everyones vision as to whether he survived or not.

'Shit, did we overdo it?'

Naruto was no where to be found and the teams combined looked everywhere for him aroudn the area but couldn't see him.

Just as the thought that naruto was dead, naruto sprang from the sand and head banged two members together, and clubbed a third with his fist, before dissapearing again with a flash.

"Where did he go, how can he move so fast?"

"Thank my dad for that, he calls it Hiraishin no jutsu, I like to call it sneak up and whomp your ass unconscious no jutsu, you decide."

Naruto finally took out the leader, leaving only 3 members left, one for jutsu, and two in kenjutsu.

"Alright guys, no more sneak and whomp, lets finish this with straight up, jutsu, taijutsu, and kenjutsu, sound good?"

"Hai"

"Hai"

"Hai"

All four went at each other, one using a wind jutsu to blow naruto off balance to allow the other two to get the upper hand, but failed when naruto used his frog katas to hit the air behind him to catapult himself forward towards them, and using two kunai, battled the two kenjutsu users,w hile dodging random jutsu from the other member.

The battle then turned for naruto as he used his shadow clones to use Bellowing Roar to kick up a small sandstorm to distort the three, with each swinging at one naruto, seeing them poof out of existence and being knocked out by the real one.

After the last two were gone, naruto saw only one knew what was going and set up caltrops all around him self so naruto would have to jump at him, giving away where he was, even in the sand.

"Gotta hand it to you, pretty good idea to use the caltrops like that, got any more bright ideas for me?"

"No unfortunately, I just got lucky Naruto-sama, although I will lose this, I speak for my leader and teammates in saying this has been an honor, to see the new toad sage."

"Thanks, wanna settle this wth out best jutsu, you know, one of those cliched last slash duels?"

"Yes, it only seems appopriate."

"Fuuton: Howling Wind Blade!!!!!"

"Rasengan!!!!"

Both ran at each other, a sound of moaning wind and spiraling energy clashed, but soon the blade cracked and was soon destroyed, along with its master.

As naruto's shadow clones gathered the members and put them to the medical tent, he went next to gaara and shouted.

"To all those we believe my victory came from me being natually gifted at jutsu, or sage techniques, or even control chakra, youre a retard!"

"This power came from nothing but hardwork, anyone of you can be at my level, all you need to do is never give up, there is no end, there is only a new road, got that?"

"HAI NARUTO-SAMA"

"No wise words my ass naruto, what do you call that then?"

"Shut up, I got that from a heated moment of passion of fighting, that doesn't count."

"Whatever, since im guessing all that needed to be done here is done, youll be leaving tomorrow then?"

"Yup."

"Alright then, come to the palace tonight, well throw a banquet for your departure."

"Thanks, make sure my meals are vegetarian, as a sage, meats not my thing anymore."

"Sure, be at the palace in about 5 hours, is that enough time?"

"Yeah, I could use a good nap."

Naruto jumped off to his room with sakura and found she was still sleeping.

'Lucky me.'

Naruto then got undressed and got back in the position he was last night with sakura, and soon fell asleep, but not before writing a quick note on the bedside table, as well as setting the alarm for 4 hours from now.

4 hours later

Naruto was awoken by sakura pulling his ear out of bed and into the shower.

"You idiot, the only warning you give me of a FANCY banquet in your honor is an hour's notice and a sticky note!"

"Sorry, I thought that'd be enough for both of us, ill get in the shower now, and well be out of here with plenty of time to spare.

At the banquet hall 3 hours later

"Well naruto, its been good to see you, it's a shame you have to go."

"Don't worry gaara, youll be in konoha in two weeks to talk war talk with the old hag, well catch up then."

"True, but I cant help but feel nervous at leaving my village without their kazekage, even if it is to help them."

"It'll be alright, they got your brother and sister, those two can take care of everything by themselves."

"I know, but still, this sand control is something that is nearly perfect in every aspect, no flaws in battle, and an unlimited supply."

"Yeah that is true, but still, you gotta place more trust in them, if you cant, this village will always be dependent on ya, and when the times comes for you to got away for an even longer amount of time, they'll be helpless and riot, you gotta let them know those two are capable enough."

"You know naruto, that's 2 for 2 on youre wise statements today, sure youre not a humble wise sage."

"SHUT UP, that was from brother to brother, still doesn't count."

"Well, nonetheless, thank you, now I imagine you wanna sleep now, the trek back will be brutal."

"Yeah, I guess, sakura and me should have no problem, weve been here before, but those three dumbasses and kakashi might need my help in traversing it."

Naruto then went back to hid apartment with sakura slightly drunk, which was bad for naruto as he quietly whispered shes scary drunk, which then left him bruised and sleeping on the fold out couch.

Morning Suna gate

"Well gaara, see ya in two weeks, don't expect much planning thought, two weeks of me on the job and this war will be half over."

"Well good luck anyway, all of Suna will hope you survive this war."

As naruto and the team left Suna, a sudden sandstorm kicked up, forcing naruto and the team to go into a cave about 10 miles from their normal position. As the hours passed the sandstorm finally pissed naruto off enough that he went outside, activated sage mode and used another jutsu, he said would 'show nature whos boss'."

"FUUTON:Typhoon Claws!"

Naruto's nails elongated to kyuubi size ones and he swiped the air horizontally, making the sand clear away without even so much as a single speck of sand left in the air.

"Stupid ass wind, how gaara can have a whole gourd of this crap is beyond me."

Naruto and the gang then went the long way home, but woud be out of the sand sooner, but have to traverse more of The fire countries forest area. As everyone was jumping through the trees, Shikamaru stopped everyone and began to inspect a tree.

"This isn't the place to find a tree to nap in lazy ass, lets move it!"

"No naruto, look at this tree, its burnt, but it looks like its been burnt for a long time."

"Hes right naruto, a battle might have occurred, we should check it out."

"Fine, but hurry, I miss my 5 star hotel already."

'Why does this area look so familiar, did fukusaku-sensei bring me here early on in our training or something?'

As they all reached the end of the forest, what they saw next shocked everyone but naruto, who simply went wide eyed with realization at the sight before him.

'Shit shit shit shit, I have to get everyone away before shikamaru or kakashi realize what caused this.'

"Wow, look at that crater, it has to be at least 120 meters long, and 35 meters deep!"

"Yeah, that's probably the best assumption I would guess too ino, but what could cause this kind of wide spread destruction?"

"Don't know don't care shikamaru, but were leaving, lets go, this is boring me."

"You cant be serious naruto, this doesn't interest you in the least, what could have caused this?"

"Oh yeah, ask the jinchuuriki, who has a demon in his stomach whats interesting, lets go, this is probably some remmnant of some old battle in the great ninja war or something."

"Naruto I thought I taught you to look underneath the underneath, what kind of jutsu could cause this?"

"You also taught me to walk on trees, sasuke is a better ninja, and that guilt and a real want to train a student to bring back a friend are easy to confuse, look how those lessons turned out for both of us, still wanna preach the teacher role, or can we freaking move already?"

Naruto's anger seemed to stop everyones curiosity and they soon went back to their normal route, though they had convinced naruto to at least let them report it to Tsunade. As they made camp, about a few hours from konoha, sakura came up to naruto and asked.

"Naruto, theres something you know about that hole, tell me, please, it seemed to frighten you, please trust me to know?"

"……..I want a clear promise you wont even think about even telling tsunade this, ill let her know what it was, I want these words to leave your mouth."

"I promise, not even tsunade-sama will hear about this from me."

"…………..Alright, it was about 3 years ago, Fukusaku-sensei decided to try to control the kyuubi, so as to allow my ability to control natural energy easier for me instead of relying on clones. We went to a deserted area and used the key toad to twist the seal off gradually day by day, every 3 or four days letting another tail try to control me. After about a month, the day came when the last tail would be released, he sent for Gamabunta, Kichi, and Tatsu for protection in case I got berserk and he needed a few seconds to reseal me. After a few minutes the chakra shield came up, but my skin was still intact, and for a while it seemed I had everything under control, so the key toad completely let loose the seal."

Sakura went into complete shock, to know that naruto, a mere human, had beaten the kyuubi in terms of chakra, truly it was naruto's destiny to become the leader of the ninja world.

"After that however, I blacked out, and when I came to, fukusaku-sensei and everybody was half-dead, I had no recollection of what happened, so what I tell you right now is what fukusaku-sensei told me."

3 years ago(in fukusaku's perspective)

'As I saw naruto's body be enveloped by the kyuubi's chakra, I felt both fear and wonder, to think, this destined child could fight the kyuubi on equal terms amazed me, but still, if naruto lost, we might all die today, but then again, this one isn't meant to flow in the normal river of fate.'

Naruto's chakra and the kyuubi's chakra then skyrocketed neck and neck to each other, rising hundreds of feet into the air, with naruto's finally engulfing the kyuubi's. But soon, the chakra became purple and descended to naruto, causing a massive shockwave that left everyone unconsciouss.

'No, did………….did the kyuubi win in the end?'

"NARUTO, WHERE ARE YOU, ARE YOU ALRIGHT!"

"Never better, fukusaku, never better.'

Naruto soon emerged from the rubble, but looked almost nothing like him. His hair had become pointed and reached the top of his calves. His claws were as sharp and black as a foxes, his pupil's slitted black, with red eyes, his seal literally dripping off his stomach like ink, and his toenails as black as his fingernails.

"Naruto, what happened to you?"

"Don't know, but I like it, I can feel all this power, and I feel like destroying konoha for some reason, all the years of memories are almost influencing me, and I love the feeling."

"Wait naruto, you can't do that, if you do……..uhhhhh…..ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Naruto had his foot over fukusaku and was steadily increasing the pressure.

"You aren't in control here toad, I am, this body is my birthright, ive taken in his pain for years, and im not gonna let that sentimental crap pull me down back in there again."

"Kyuuu…….kyuubi, what did you do to naruto?"

"I'm not the kyuubi, not even close frogger."

"Then……then who?"

"…………Why naruto of course, or more specifically, the side of naruto that he made subconsciously to take in all his pain."

"That doesn't make sense, what are you talking about?!"

"What, you honestly think he could take all that pain and be stable, I was made by him to take it all in, but even I have limits, I took in all his childhood pain, after that, I couldn't handle anymore, so he took it with that smile of his, and when those two were fighting it out for dominance, well, I took my chance, and now im out."

'So, theres a second guest inside naruto as well, damn, one was bad enough.'

"What do you expect to do after konoha is destroyed, youre purpose will be over."

"No, you see, naruto might not have agreed with pein's ideals, but I have the ability to actually make those plans come to fruition, with my power, the world will bend to me, in the age of ninja's, there is no kage there is no daimyo, there is only………….ME, I will live eternal, ensuring generations of kindness, obedience, and happiness for the world, all I need is a few years."

"That wont work, people cant be controlled, they have to learn to coincide by choice, or else, it'd only be fake."

"Doesn't matter, my judgment will be final, goodbye frogger, you've lost two students now, can't you train anything without them dying or losing so miserably?"

"Wouldn't know, naruto isn't gone yet, so I still have a chance."

"Fuujutsu: Four corner sealing!"

Four frog pillars engulfed naruto, who simply laughed.

"I'm not the kyuubi, this wont work…..on………me?"

Naruto's hand began to shake wildly, convulsing, until his whole body shook.

"What the hell, I'm not the kyuubi, this shouldn't be working!"

"It doesn't affect you yes, but since the kyuubi is temporarily sealed away, naruto is probably fighting you for control now, and since hes the dominant personality, he'll win this."

"DAMMIT YOU BASTARD OLD FROG, WHEN I COME BACK, YOULL DIE FIRST, ILL BE BACK, AS LONG AS NARUTO DOESN'T FORGIVE KONOHA, ILL ALWAYS BE HERE!"

Naruto then began to hold his head and roared at the top of his lungs, eyes shut and seemingly in horrid pain, until finally collapsing and changing back to normal.

'Yes……………..truly this one doesn't flow in fates river, but in a one all his own.'

Now times (naruto's perspective)

"And that's everything he told me that happened, that's why he tried to make me forgive konoha, he thought if I lost that hatred, the other me wouldn't exist, but even knowing hes inside because of my hate, I still can't let go of it…………………I don't want to."

Sakura was both shocked and understanding, she knew why he wanted to keep his hatred.

"Naruto………….if you want to stay angry at them, I don't blame you if you want, id rather you try to forgive the teams at least, but if you want to hate the village, I have no objections to it, I know why you want to keep it. You feel cheated that you're the only one who HAS to give up his anger for the good of the world, and you shouldn't, not if you don't want to."

"……..Thank you sakura, thank you for letting me be me."

Naruto deeply hugged sakura, happy she knew why he felt like he did.

As morning rolled on, the team could see the gates of konoha in the distance and double timed to Tsunades place.

When they arrived, naruto told them to go home, he'd handle the mission report and the crater they saw. They didn't object, but felt slightly less nervous around him as he told them in a calm tone.

Naruto, kakashi, and sakura all walked into Tsunade's room and waited for her to stamp the final document. When she finished she looked at them at asked.

"How'd it go, did gaara agree to the treaty?"

"Yup, he'll be here in two weeks to talk war strategy with us."

Tsunade look became one of happiness, knowing this war could now be won.

"Well that's a load off my mind, thank you naruto, you might have saved thousands o flives right now. Naota is with my ANBU escort now, he wanted to get some candy, so they personally escorted him to get it, he should be here any minute.

Just as Tsunade said that, the ANBU came in with a happy Naota eating some chocolate, but dropped it when he saw naruto.

"BAKA-SENNIN, SAKURA-SAN, IM SO GLAD YOURE BACK!"

"Hey, I thought we agreed on naruto?"

"Yeah, but its funnier with that."

"Hey sakura-san, I ate so much candy, the bags almost empty take a look."

"Naota, that much candy is no good for you, youll be sleepy and not hungry for dinner."

"No…I …….wont."

Naota soon felt drowsy and went into sakura's arms and fell asleep.

"I told him, the more he ate, the sooner hed fall asleep, wed better take him to naruto's place to get some sleep, kakashi-sensei can you take care of the mission report?"

"yeah, Naruto you don't mind do you?"

"Guess not, just don't make a big deal out of what we saw, got it?"

"Yes, I wont."

As naruto and sakura walked to naruto's apartment, tsunade looked out the window and smiled.

"Those three are the bud of the future in this war, don't you agree kakashi?"

"Yeah, those two might be able to break down naruto's walls."

"So what is this big important detail in the mission naruto didn't want you to over exaggerate?"

"It's a long story, so I hope youre sober for it."

Tsunade growled but conceded when she realized he was right.

"ill let that slide if you start talking now."

"…….Sorry about that."

______________________________________________________

Once again so sorry for the delay, but good news, Im free, not from tests, but stupid projects that are so long and boring they take up my free time, which means newer chapters sooner……………nice, btw please visit my forum, if you want to talk about anything, don't have to but still, just try it out
