Thank to those that reviewed… it means a lot to me. Is incredible that the Realms are dying in the same order as my story and the manga is awesome… no one can tell me now that Naruto is too powerful for his own good now, I mean he killed four bodies without taking damage.

What I want to know is if my story (this one) is good enough, not getting reviews and if I get them is flames at my writing skills… they're worse stories out there (written) I know my grammar sucks but give a me chance plz.

Chapter19: amazing

"My mission started a while ago… by the death of you comrade" Naruto said coldly as he stared at the three jounins only a few meters away. The blonde knew that if he didn't end this quickly he would have to retreat and that couldn't happen since his companions were out of the way… it was mission time.

"You killed out friend… but he was the weakest member in our team" Kuuro said flaring his chakra emphasizing the last part "We're stronger and more powerful… that weakling only got promoted because of assassination skills" he added with a sinister grin.

"Then he would've been a great candidate for my mission" Naruto stated flaring his own chakra "I'm one that kills if there's no other way… what you've done to this place is unforgivable" he growled icily.

"Oh… the kid is angry, look boy you may try and fake it but we all know you're almost out of chakra" Kana said mockingly "We'll kill you and then we'll kill your friends" she stated grinning just like her brother and they attacked while Daiki watched with a frown.

"This is no ordinary shinobi… we have to be careful or he'll kill us with ease" Daiki thought as he watched the sibling taking the fight to the roof of a still standing building. "The way he appeared in front of me and intercepted my attack… he's fast and strong, not to mention his chakra is insanely high… and has my weakness element" he thought in slight panic.

The fight was predictable in the blonde's opinion, one punched the other kicked and so on and so on, and it was boring. The ferocity of their attacks and the obvious hatred in their eyes gave away that they were angry about something… maybe because he dodge or blocked everything they threw at him or his glorious looks he didn't know but something told him to evade their attacks or he would regret it. Naruto was preoccupied of the shinobi standing a few meters back and wondering when he would strike since in his opinion the hammer-guy was the threat not the siblings before him. Suddenly he saw an opening on both their attacks and went for it… he charged and upper-cutted the man and made a spin kick towards the woman but she blocked it and aimed a kick at his head. The blonde saw something that froze his blood for a second and dodged the kick but felt instant pain, as he dodged the kick grazed his shoulder pad and now that part of his body stung like hell.

"What the hell?" Naruto thought as he gritted his teeth in pain and grasped his wound while observing his two opponents carefully "I saw the steel below the sandal but she never touched me… huh?" he mentally asked himself as he looked closely at her feet… chakra. He however didn't have time to think as the two siblings attacked him again, he jumped backwards and made one seal and he shunshined to another place to think of a solution.

"Where did he go?" Kana asked glancing to every direction no liking that her victim escaped.

"Don't worry sis… Konoha shinobi are dumb, they wouldn't leave without saying good-bye" Kuuro said chuckling as he concentrated on finding the blonde shinobi. Said shinobi was hiding in a half-destroyed building, the blonde was grabbing his shoulder and gazed every now and then to the direction where the siblings where.

"Dammit… it hurts" Naruto hissed in a low tone as he inspected the wound and widened his eyes "That thing is deep… she channeled chakra to the metal plate on the tip of her feet but chakra is chakra unless it has an element… wind element is sharp, that's it!" he thought a bit happy and saw the wound starting to heal almost completely. The red chakra that always kept him safe, even when the demon was safely sealed with the help of the scroll toad 'Gerotora', it seems that the toad let's a bit of demonic chakra pass by if needed. Suddenly he felt something he didn't like and he saw a shadow on top of him…

"There you are" Kuuro stated as he hold a hand-seal while his sister grinned behind him holding a hand-sign as well and the blonde paled as he recognized the seals and the kind of elements they were going to use.

"Shit!!!... those seals are for fire and wind… have to get out" Naruto thought in panic as the siblings yelled out their technique. Naruto thought of an idea but it was a bit too late.

"Firestorm" the siblings yelled in unison as the brother breathed out fire while the sister summoned up a gust of wind. The two attacks collided with one another and created a huge fire wall that was beginning to take a turn around the building… encasing it. The building was actually crumbling slowly as the intense fire surrounded it, suddenly a cry was heard and the siblings smirked as they thought about the slowly burning blonde… but they were wrong.

"Water style: Water wall" as a huge water wall appeared from within the building and extinguished the flames in an instant and the hot vapor roused. "Water style: Giant Vortex" another yell came out this time from the slowly rising vapor as a huge spinning water blast came at the siblings who were shocked to beyond reason.

The siblings tried to move away but the water blast came too fast and they received an almost direct hit, getting themselves caught in the spinning waves of the attack. The water attack collided with a pile of random rubble on the ground and stopped, the hammer-wielding shinobi stood watching the events and actually cursed and in an instant he disappeared. Naruto panted as he slowly lifted himself up, resting because of the huge chakra drainage, he saw the rubble he caused by the water vortex and smiled a bit but sensed danger and jacked his head back… a few centimeters and he would've been dead as a giant hammer came down and barely missed.

"Almost got you… you're difficult to hit" Daiki said as he shouldered his hammer and glared at the blonde. He suddenly grinned and charged yet again but this time he had the hammer on one hand and the other hand was free, he kept swinging the hammer to every direction, upwards, downwards, sideways and horizontally, still the blonde dodged every swing but he just smirked and the Iwa strong-man jumped backwards…

Kuuro and Kana came into vision and a bit closer than the blonde would like, the kunoichi made a barrage of punches and kicks, all of which had wind chakra in them making them deathlier. Naruto dodged the first three and blocked a spin kick aimed at his head, he saw however that the kunoichi was a pervert's dream as she flexed her back and aimed her two free arms at the blonde's torso. The blonde's wounds didn't spurted blood… but mud and suddenly the body melted away in a pile of mud leaving the kunoichi confused and angry. Kuuro saw the blonde dash to his right and followed him, jumping, he landed in front of the boy and side-kicked him but the blonde dodged by ducking. The shinobi got a bit angry and started to fight taijutsu style but unfortunately for him… he was slower that his sister and Naruto countered…

"Wind style: cyclone blow" Naruto said as a piercing gust of wind impacted the big shinobi and sent him to a wall that crumbled in an instant. Naruto sensed movement behind him formed the same seal as before as he turned around, the same jutsu impacted the kunoichi sending her to a pile of debris on the ground. The blond smiled but to a short as he sensed something coming at him.

"Die!!!" Daiki said as he plunged his hammer o the ground, missing his opponent. The Iwa jounin smirked with glee as the blonde landed in front of him then yelled out "Lightning Wave" from the hammer a huge chakra wave was felt and suddenly like a lightning surge the area was covered in blots lightning that went everywhere in a twenty feet radius. The Konoha shinobi got lifted from the ground by the force of the lightning bolts that connected with him and landed on the ground, smocking rising from his body.

"Damn… my body… it's numb from the lightning" Naruto thought with a grunt as he tried to move but found out that nothing he tried worked. "Not only that but those water jutsu's took a lot of my body water and dehydration is setting in" he thought as he noted his dry throat. He saw the Iwas jounin chuckle as he walked towards him.

"Hehehehe… I told you didn't I… that you would lose" Daiki said as he shifted his hammer so that the biggest part faced upwards "Now… you'll feel… nothing" he added as he upper-cutted the blond with his hammer to the chin, lifting him and sending him towards a building. The building crashed and two floors pummeled on the area where Naruto crashed… trapping him.

Same town a few minutes earlier

The Konoha shinobi where jumping and running through the destroyed state the village was in. The Suna squad looked ashamed to be carried by chunin… underage chunin to some of them and their pride was taking a beat down. Seeing the gates of the torned own ahead the Suna squad glanced at each other and nodded in agreement and ordered them to stop…

"Okay… set us here" Temari said while the other jounin nodded "Naruto is back there and even if he's strong he will need your help" she added to the look of protest on the chunins faces.

"I'm afraid we can't disobey a direct order Temari-san" Shino said as he looked at the direction they came from and got an eerie feeling.

"He said that you would protect us… patch us up and we'll go with you" Kankuro said as he bandaged his leg, the other shinobi also was patching himself up as he bandaged his arms and leg. The kunoichi smiled as she used a low level medical jutsu to stop the bleeding as she needed chakra if something else happened.

"Well if you're going to be like that… her" Kiba said as he gave each Suna shinobi a food pill "You'll need chakra for this one… Akamaru sensed a lot of chakra in the three of them" he added as each suna-nin nodded and grabbed the pill and shoved them to their mouth.

"Don't you think Naruto would be angry if he sees us there… he looked like he wanted to finished them on his own" Hinata said a bit shyly as she addressed to the group.

"Exactly why we need to go and help him… those guys are elites" Temari said while the other agreed. The Konoha shinobi on the other hand have seen the power the blonde can produce and didn't want to get in the way since his ninjutsu were… terrifying.

"We should move then… be aware that Naruto-san can execute destructive ninjutsus that can… make us an obstacle more than a help" Shino said as he prepared to leave while spreading his bugs around "I need more information on those jounin" he thought

After a few minutes of patching up and checking the wounds with healing chakra the group of seven shinobi jumped to the roofs and did their best to keep themselves quiet. The whole group sensed the huge chakra flares that came with small quakes, they looked at each other and sped up more, none of them wanted to be late if needed. Suddenly they heard a yell that sounded like 'die' and in the next two seconds a huge blue light appeared a few meters ahead indicating that a lightning jutsu had been used. Worried the Konoha shinobi ran faster leaving the Suna squad behing, arriving at the scene they saw the hammer-wielding shinobi closing in on Naruto who was in the ground and the next thing they knew was seeing their friend fly to a building and crashed it.

x.x.x

"Hehehe… I guess you had the pleasure of killing the Yondaime-look-a-like" Kuuro said as he walked a bit uncomfortably as a large quantity of blood could be seen from his brown pants and his vest was shredded and stood next to the hammer-wielding shinobi. They both saw Kana walking to their spot while she limped a little and has a gash on her cheek.

"Damn that blonde… he almost couldn't be stopped" Kana said angrily glaring at her companions "But he hasn't died yet brother… he's there trapped" she added

"Good… I'll finish him off while you take down his friends" Daiki said as he walked to the battered building with his hammer on his shoulder and saw three shinobi standing in front of him. One of them was the Aburame from earlier and he stood on a piece of roof from a still standing house, the other one was clearly an Inuzuka with his huge dog as they stoog on a piece of boulder on the ground. The last one was a female Hyuuga and she stood near the building with her Byakugan activated.

"I don't think you're thinking straight… we're here to help our friend" Shino said as his bugs surrounded him and from the right angle he looked menacing. The huge white dog barked and the chunin smirked as he stepped forward.

"I'll take that dog out Daiki… just kill the blonde" Kuuro said and he lunged forward towards the Inuzuka who prepared to attack when a dark cloud surrounded both shinobi.

"I'll be your opponent" Shino's voice sounded from within the heavy cloud composed by bugs. He showed his face to his opponent and disappeared again but commanded his bugs to attack the Iwa shinobi who in turn flickered away… the bugs following him all the way.

"I'll take the pesky girl… take this!" Kana exclaimed as she threw a wind projectile jutsu at the Hyuuga kunoichi who was standing on the same building as her love trying to find him with her Byakugan. The peripheral vision the blood-line possessed let her dodge the attack by seeing the sharp, concentrated chakra coming at her.

"I have to be careful or she'll take my head off… literally" Hinata thought as she saw the chakra on her palms and feet "She channels chakra to the tip of each limb and sharpens it… she's deathly" she added mentally as she prepared to defend when the Iwa kunoichi landed in front of her with a grin.

"Oh you're very pretty… I'll take your eyes off when I'm done with you" Kana stated ferociously as she charged but her palm was blocked with another palm. Twisting her body she aimed a chakra filled palm to the girls rib-cage but found her palm blocked again "She's as flexible as I' am" she added with wonderment.

On another place close-by Shino was keeping the chakra-maniac jounin at bay with his bug but he knew that wouldn't last forever. Suddenly the jounin blocked a swing that came out of nowhere and the sound of metal hitting metal was heard, the bug-user saw the suna-jounin ready for battle although he was pretty messed up internally. The Iwa jounin smirked and charged taking the two shinobi head on as he knew they wouldn't stand a chance. The suna-jounin charged as well and the two clashed but Kuuro overpowered him easily and aimed a kick but his opponent ducked and a swarm of bugs attached to his body. Kuuro managed to move with difficulty and made what it looked like hand-signs and suddenly the shape of bug caught fire, killing the bugs instantly. Shino saw this and became weary and infuriated at the jounin, the suna-jounin charged again at the enemy but something caught his sword and he was kicked in the abdomen and sent to a pile of rubble. Shino intercepted the man and kicked him in the head, doing this he saw the burned marks on the shinobi's skin. His stealth was jounin level at least since he always trained in the art of secrecy but the man quickly got up and grabbed him by the throat in an instant… elite jounin indeed. The shinobi, though, didn't expect his opponent to suddenly turn into a mass of insects.

With Kiba you could see that they were in a stalemate and it was getting on the dog-shinobi's nerve, he wasn't the one to stand around; he was a guy of action. Grabbing a few shuriken he threw them at the jounin but he just moved his hammer and deflected them, the Inuzuka formed a few seal and his nails transformed into claws and his speed increased getting into the jounin's face and tackled him. Daiki saw the move the chunin was making and he resisted rolling his eyes, the amateur shinobi was too slow and lacked power, when he approached to tackle him, Daiki made a substitution with a lightning clone. As Kiba shredded the clone, a fact he discovered a bit too late, he was almost electrocuted and dropped to the ground smocking. Daiki suddenly felt a shift in the air and jumped away just in time to dodge a slash of wind aimed at him almost cutting him in half, he glance to his side to see two suna-kunoichi standing were the dog-chunin laid. The huge white dog nuzzled at his master and Daiki smirked and performed a few hand-signs creating a huge bolt of lightning aimed at the three ninja. The three shinobi and dog barely dodged the incoming attack that caused a big crater on the ground; Daiki laughed as he knew where they were hiding and flickered.

"Damn… that guy is strong" Kiba hissed as he tried not to move to much because of the slight stings he felt thanks to the electricity "He's not ordinary…" he was cut-short by a mocking voice.

"Of course I'm not ordinary… I'm from the Raihanma clan" Daiki said as he appeared in front of the shinobi that tried to think of a plan to bring down the same man that was talking to them. Daiki smirked and sent another bolt of lightning to the shinobi causing them to move out of the way and into a less protected area and the jounin grabbed his hammer and charged, he appeared suddenly between the ninja that they didn't have time to react and hit them with his hammer sending them away and making them paralyzed. He smiled but heard a loud explosion on a nearby building…

x.x.x

"Damn… my jaw is broken and my body is still numb and I'm going to die of dehydration soon" Naruto thought as he tried to move but the pain, the numbness and the rubble from the building was making it a bit difficult. He concentrated and channeled chakra throughout his body to see if it would act up… and it did. The numbness receded but was still there and the pain in his jaw was starting to diminish and that could only mean one thing… Kyuubi.

He concentrated and he was in his mind-set, looking at the big cage that held the terrifying demon and then he saw 'Gerotora' stuck on the bars of the cage… sealing it. The toad looked at Naruto with anger and waited until he was close to berated him.

"You dumbass… going on you on to beat three elites, what were you thinking?" Gerotora asked with incredulity, he didn't know the boy could be this stupid. "Let me guess… chakra?" he added while the blonde just nodded sheepishly.

"I know you're mad Gero… but I couldn't let my friends in danger like that" Naruto stated as he rubbed the back of his head but turned serious "I was given a mission they're just back up… no danger should befall on them" he added

"Well your plan isn't working…. Those friend of yours are out there fighting those elites… and they're losing" Gerotora stated harshly, he didn't mean to sound mean but it was the only way the boy could understand.

"WHAT!?" Naruto exclaimed as he came back to reality, he felt chakra cursing through his coils and he started to move slowly to not make a sound and not attract attention. He reached for one of his bicep pockets and brought out a blue pill and swallowed it. "Water pill… water in a round form thanks to a seal I learned in Myobokuzan" He felt a battle not too far from him, two females, he also sensed two shinobi fighting one huge chakra source and then he felt three shinobi who were fighting another huge chakra source. He cursed as he thought of a plan and fast sensing the battles coming to an end, he saw a small hole in the floor of the building he was in and slowly crawled to it. From the window he saw the battles taking place and the lightning bolt that almost fried his friends and he suddenly drawed a bit more fox's chakra and…

"RASENGAN!" Naruto impacted the roof above him, destroying it instantly and flickered away just in time to see the building collapsed on its self. Smiling as his plan worked, he dashed to the hammer-wielding shinobi.

Daiki heard the explosion on the same building where the blonde form earlier crashed and wondered if there was a possibility that he could still move and saw the building collapse. The Iwa jounin smirked as he hoped the blonde died in the explosion or was buried alive but his thought were interrupted but someone landing at his side, a man wearing what it looked like a black cat costume with paintings on his face. Kankuro was about to strike when he felt wind on his face and the next thing he saw was the jounin being kicked in the face by none other than Naruto. Naruto kicked the Iwa shinobi in the chin making him going air-bourne, the blonde jumped and spin-kicked the man, sending him crashing to the ground. Turning back to his comrades his face set on a serious and determined face.

"Kankuro, grab your sister… Akamaru your okay right?... take Kiba and go" Naruto said hurriedly as the puppeteer grabbed his sister, the dog barked and leaped as the blonde dropped his master on his back. Naruto grabbed the Suna-kunoichi and jumped away from the scene. Landing on a roof top, he settled the kunoichi gently on the roof and saw Shino land with the suna-shinobi on his shoulder, nodding at the bug-user briefly he turned back on the action and heard a cry… looking to his side he saw Hinata on the ground and Kana standing menacingly on top of her.

Flaring a huge amount of chakra he disappeared leaving the others in the roof wondering how he got that amount of chakra, Shino adjusted his glasses uncomfortably as his bugs screeched loudly and Kankuro and Temari glanced at each other worriedly. Hinata was at the mercy of the Iwa-kunoichi as she sported a few gashes on her arms legs and torso. Kana also sported a few cuts but the most noticeable part was that she had one arm hanging like it had no life and limping more than usual. Kana managed to cut a few part of the Hyuuga girl so that she couldn't stand the pain and tire out quickly but Hinata managed to close a few tenketsus and damaged a few organs, hence the way she was moving now. Now the tide could go to any of them but Hinata was bleeding rather bad and she was getting dizzy and Kana kicked her but didn't cut her because he chakra was almost gone, Kana approached the girl slowly and grinning sadistically.

"I'll cut your eyes and we'll have Byakugan soldiers on our side… the Leaf will fall for sure" Kana said as she laughed hearthly, loving each second of the Hyuuga's tortured. She raised her arm to deliver the final death-blow and he Hyuuga widened her eyes… in hope?

Hinata couldn't believe how she was going to die and what would happen to her eyes after death, she saw the wind-based kunoichi with fear as she neared but then she saw with her Byakugan something coming… a red glow coming at her fast. Something told her to be afraid of the red glow but something also told her that the glow was coming to save her and the next thing she saw was two white swooshes that got through Kana's body and the glow standing in front of her. She realized that the red glow was coming out of Naruto and was diminishing slowly and looking behind him, Kana's body falling to the ground… in three different pieces.

"Hinata-chan… you okay?" Naruto asked seeing that the girl had her eyes closed "It was necessary for your survival" he added and Hinata opened her eyes and looked up to the face of her love to find concern in his eyes.

"Naruto-kun… I'm okay but…" Hinata said softly before fainting, blood making a pool around her. Naruto cursed and lifted her up bridal-style and heard a cry ahead of him.

"NO!!!!... KANA!... I'LL KILL YOU, YOU BASTARD!" Kuuro yelled in rage as he made a few hand-signs and dropped them to the ground. A huge earth mass came from the ground turning out to be a dragon made of earth, Kuuro merged with the dragon and the earth-made beast lunged forward. Naruto widened his eyes as he couldn't do anything except run as Hinata hung lifelessly on his arms, the earth dragon suddenly threw a ball of fire and the blonde jumped away landing a couple of meters away. Suddenly the dragon shifted and hundreds of spikes were launched in every direction, making a lot of damage to the area as spikes struck everywhere.

"Dammit… stop it you fool!" Daiki yelled as he landed on the dragon's head "I know it hurts but you're wasting your chakra" he added while Kuuro appeared in the mouth of the dragon.

"I'll kill him for sure" Kuuro said menacingly and coldly with his eyes a bit watery

Naruto landed where the rest of the group was and settled Hinata carefully on the roof while her teammates rushed to her, the suna-kunoichi made a few seals and checked the Hyuuga girl with a medical jutsu. They were still hurt but had enough chakra to support themselves, the Suna-squad nodded at each other and prepared but Naruto was gone. Naruto jumped towards the two shinobi left in an attempt to dispose of them quickly when suddenly something happen no one expected. A huge explosion was heard and a big cloud of smoke lifted, something came out of the smoke and hit the already in mid-air Naruto square in the chest, sending him crashing to the ground… hard.

"Daiki… you're a fool" a calm yet strong voice came out of the smoke. When the smoke cleared a huge mole was seen and on top of them two shinobi stood, one of them had his arms crossed and looked annoyed while the other one grinned from behind him. The first shinobi jumped away from the summon and landed on the ground a few meters away from the two other Iwa shinobi.

"Brother… what the hell are you doing here?" Daiki asked clearly shocked as he didn't expect his brother to be here of all places "I heard the battalion plan failed" he added with curiosity.

"It did… I left the wounded with Irako's brother and came here to check on you" Daigi said as he looked seriously at the damage inflicted on the town "I didn't like when that blonde took off in this direction and got a very bad feeling… you're fighting a shinobi who fought with me only a few hours ago" he added as he glanced at the place where his own hammer sent the blonde.

"You're saying he's holding back… or he's tired and hasn't got enough chakra" Daiki said seriously "Or you're implying that I'm weak" he added with a glare.

"All of them… the blonde was powerful but now he's tired" Daigi said simply as he walked to where his hammer was. He sensed a lot of signatures but they were low "Must be the other shinobi… but they're either tired or very weak" he thought as he grabbed his hammer but saw no shinobi under it. Sudenlly he felt the ground beneath him shake and he quickly jumped away.

The ground exploded and a huge cloud of smoke appeared, when the smoked cleared a giant red toad with a blue vest stood there smoking on a huge pipe. On top of the huge toad stood Naruto, wearing only his long red cloak and black shinobi overall underneath, his orange vest destroyed on the impact of the hammer. He glared at the shinobi that arrived late and then ocused his eyes on the summon ahead of him.

"Yo Chief… bring oil and aim it at the mole" Naruto said calmly while making some hand-seals and Gamabunta gave his approval. Shooting a huge amount of oil at the unsuspected summon Naruto shot a huge fireball at the oil, igniting it instantly, the summoner reacted quickly enough and got off his summon while the other stood in shock. The attack impacted head on creating a huge fire wall around the mole and then it quickly died out, nothing was left of the mole except ashes. "Jump, shoot a water bullet and then you can go" he said as the toad jumped to the sky.

"Dammit boy you're not giving any breaks huh?... well whatever see ya!" Gamabunta said as he performed the seal for the attack and shot a water bullet at the Iwa shinobi on the ground. The shinoi dodged the attack barely and they saw that the blonde was coming down and they got ready to attack him in mid-air if possible. Naruto saw that the shinobi ready to attack so he concentrated and gathered a bit more nature chakra and then opened his eyes; he was mere feet from the ground when he flipped and landed catching everyone by surprise.

Daiki swung his chakra-fused hammer at the blondes head while his brother did the same, Naruto grabbed the two hammers with both hand but he didn't know they were fueled by lightning chakra and got electrocuted instantly and Kuuro kicked him with all his force sending him to a pile of rubble. Naruto got up in less than ten seconds with a look of anger and he dashed to them, he got close enough so fast they realized too late, Naruto kicked Kuuro in the gut and then punched Daiki in the face and blocked a punch by Daigi. Kuuro recovered, shoved a food pill into his mouth and made the same earth dragon from earlier and attacked the blonde sage but Naruto jumped backward a few meters and landed on a half-torned building and created two clones.

"You'll be flabbergasted when I'm done with you!" Naruto exclaimed in a weird voice that sounded like he was announcing something "Blow the wind… fan tha flames… I'll bring out the oil" he said addressing to his clones "Sage Arts: Deep Fryer" the huge jutsu that combined three other techniques into one flared and came in the way of the earth dragon, destroying it easily. The hammer-wielding siblings saw this in shock and saw their comrade in the ground when it was all over, burned… dead.

"Damn… Irako you okay?" Daigi asked his companion as he struggled to walk to their direction. Half of his body was burned not glowing red but you could see from first to second degree burns and he was limping as one of his legs got wounded when he crashed to the ground do to the haste of getting away from the fire.

"This shinobi is way too strong for us… we must retreat now" Irako said while holding his shoulder and hissing from the pain "He already got Sho, Kana and Kuuro… if we die not only we will die but the village would lose powerful shinobi and lose the war… again" he added fiercely.

Agreeing with that logic, the siblings and the summoner leaped to get away when suddenly one of them got kicked unexpectedly and crashed on the ground. The two Iwa shinobi remaining saw the blonde shinobi glaring at them at the top of a broken house, Daiki got up slowly and glared weakly at the blonde while his brother made a seal and lightning flashed through his hammer and shot it at the jinchuuriki. Naruto dodged the attack and sent a wind bullet at them and Irako made a few seal and brought up an earth barricade to deflect the blonde's attacks. Naruto just scoffed at their attempts to block him and punched the wall but Digi was on top of him already with a lightning charged hammer, Naruto grabbed his forearm leaving the hammer jangin and punched the hammer-user in the face sending him crashing to the ground. Irako brought up a pair of gloves and channeled chakra into them making two inches long claws to appear and charged at the Leaf shinobi, Naruto saw the claws that the half-burned man had and dodged the attack and kicked him in the chest sending him to a wall but Daiki grabbed him. Daiki flared his chakra and felt two drilling motions coming at him rather fast, he brought his arms up and when the two drills, that were coming from each side, got close enough he brought them down and making the drills crash… revealing Kiba and Akamaru. Naruto sensed Shino and Kankuro coming but he signaled them to stop, he glared at the smirking jounin and dashed to kill him but Irako got in the way with a spinning movement to catch off guard his opponent but Naruto easily grabbed his claw and crushed it, making the jounin cry in agony. Sending the crying man away with a kick to the torso he aimed a kick at Daiki's face but was blocked by a lightning charged hammer, Daigi stood there blocking the kick but the ground beneath him cracked because of the pressure and the widened his eyes as his hammer also cracked.

"Damn… I have to finish this fast… Sage Mode will deactivate soon" Naruto thought as he saw the siblings flickered and grabbed their comrade but the blonde made a hand-sign "Wind style: Drill Bullet" he sent a gust of wind that made a drill-like-motion to the enemy. The trio tries to dodge but one of them wasn't quick enough and his rib-cage got a nice big hole the size of a baseball and blood splattered everywhere.

"Irako!" Daigi yelled as he and his brother escaped the blonde but they saw their comrade's eyes fade away… clearly dead.

"It's over… I managed to kill four elites… even if one of them wasn't on the list" Naruto though as he felt the nature chakra leaving him, his bruises and pain were a bit cure because of the nature chakra that he absorbed but he was either way tired. The Suna-squad got a bit of rest while Hinata got her wounds treated by one kunoichi, Kiba had a few wounds as well but not as serious and Shino was a bit mad at the amount of bugs that he lost because of the jounin. Kankuro and Temari stayed look-out while the others rest a deserved one.

One thing was on each of their minds… Naruto was amazing and getting stronger each day. The Suna-squad was glad for their friend and couldn't wait till they got back to their village while the Konoha ninjas envied the blonde a bit but they were glad he was on their side.

X.X.X

Kumo's border

Team Hawk walked calmly through the woods and mountain landscape while searching for something or someone. The kunoichi of the group had her eyes closed, clearly concentrating, trying to find a distinct chakra signature while holding a rave-haired boy's arm. The raven-haired boy looked a bit annoyed at the gesture but at least she was being professional about it… finally. A child was with them but he had a face deserved of a man who had seen stuff no one should've and a vicious looking boy stood near the child impassively while drinking out of a bottle of water.

"Nothing yet Karin?" Sasuke asked as he looked at the girl holding his arm, one part of him wanted to find the person and fight him again and another part wanted her to let go… conclusion, he wanted her to let go period.

"No… his chakra signature is very different and I quite remember the feeling I got form it the last time" Karin said as she shook her head "He's not in the village" she added.

"Great… now what, Madara will be pissed" Suigetsu said glancing at his 'leader' with a grin. "Can we just tell him that the jinchuuriki isn't here?" he asked a bit innocently.

"He would just have to believe it… but we'll search for him anyway" Sasuke said as he kept walking but to a different direction "I was tricked… and the Akatsuki think I did that on purpose… I'm an Uchiha and willl get you jinchuuriki" he added fiercely on his mind.

"Wait!" Karin exclaimed as she opened her eyes "I feel something, it' faint but it's there… maybe chakra residue" she added as she pointed north-east. The Sharingan user nodded and jumped to the safety of the trees. Their mission was to capture the jinchuuriki, make sure it's the real thing (this time) and most of all… failure wasn't an option.

How's that?? I know I may have put Naruto a bit weaker that in manga but face it… he fought in a battalion a mere hours for that ambush and performed high level jutsus… he's not a God. I'm actually laughing because Pain is dying exactly like in this story but when I was writing the fight I didn't knew that Hell realm could do the reviving thing. Anyway… REVIEW PLZ
