Kazekage POV

"How and more importantly WHERE the hell did he take my son?" I roar in fury glaring at the nin trembling before me as I ball my hands in to tight fists.

I am in complete and utter shock that all of this has happened in under 10 hours under my very nose. And worst of all the man who did all of this had been my prized pupil and most trusted friend.

" Lord Kazekage, Shimeji-san placed a genjutsu on the nursery and killed the guards. I have four teams tracking him now." The nin hastily replies.

"First Ami dies giving birth to Naruto then he is kidnaped by his PERSONAL guard. I have also heard that Stone is planning to attack within the next TWO MONTHS!. Baki,.. I want my son found and kept somewhere safe when this war DOES happen.. do you understand me?" I snarl almost giving in to the change just to rip someones' throat out.

While it is true I do have three other children I love ALL of my children. Naruto was the last one Ami gave me before she died no way in hell will I let Shimeji or anyone else get away with taking him from me or harming him.

"Yes sir!" Baki says as he transports out of the room.

Running a hand that is still shaking with rage through my long golden hair I turn to look out the window at the moon that is almost crimson .

"Blood on the moon a omen of trouble not far behind. Every night for the last four nights the moon has been red. Inari please protect Naruto until I am able to find him and bring him home." Closing my eyes I release a ragged sigh.

Three weeks later

"Kazekage-sama Shimeji's trail led to Konohagakure in the fire country. Unfortunately his trail was lost." Baki reports.

"I see...I want a team assembled to infiltrate Konoha and search for the both of them..." Before I can finish my order I hear several explosions from outside...The war has begun. Standing up and coming around my desk I walk to the wall to get my katana "If you do find Naruto ALL of you are to STAY in Konoha do NOT bring him back here and you are to make sure that you and your team raise him well until he can come home... Understood?" I say as I get ready to join my men in the battle to protect Sunagakure.

"Yes sir" Baki responds as he quickly leaves the room.

Five days later

Before my team and I infiltrate Konohagakure we immediately disguise ourselves by dying our hair and completely changing our appearances.

As Konoha is home to both the Hyuuga clan and the Uchiha clan. Very little gets past their eyes. They can see any form of jutsu that is being used and a henge would be detected immediately.

The four of us find a furnished apartment while Shanna and Tsubaki go grocery shopping. Lizu and I begin our search for Naruto and Shimeji.

We discover Shimeji's body in the forest three hours later after trailing the scent of decay and death . His body had been brutally ripped apart with chunks of flesh torn out. Looking around I noticed that a couple of his limbs are missing.. No doubt he had encountered a much stronger foe than himself and pissed it off resulting in his death.

Lizu is still sniffing the area attempting to see if there are any traces of Naruto to be found.

Merciful Inari please let the child be alive and well.

With Shimeji being dead we have no way to know the fate of Naruto. We begin tearing apart the woods searching for any sign of him.

Shanna POV

"Ryo tell me which sounds better to you a vegetable salad or a fruit salad?" I hear a man asking his friend.

I turn me head slightly and get the shock of my life ..Kazekage-samas child is being carried around in a baby pouch by a leaf nin. Who is constantly talking to him about the fruits and vegetables all the while rubbing his scent on him.

I elbow Tsubaki and tilt my head in the direction of Naruto and the leaf nin. Tsubai's eyes widen in shock as she quickly pays for her fruit.

We immediately begin following them from a discreet distance.

Naruto seems to find this man to be quite likeable and is not shy about voicing his opinion of the produce or anything else for that matter.

I stifle a snicker as the man buys an ice cream and shares it with Naruto. The faces that Naruto makes while experiencing ice cream for the first time are to funny and cute.

For a moment I am not sure who is the messiest eater the man or Naruto.

We follow them for four hours as they run errands all over the village. Stopping from time to time to chat with fellow comrades.

When I hear the mans name being called I can feel my eyes grow huge from shock...Shiranui Genma. The man is a lycon wolf and among the strongest of his pack and he is also a well known and feared assassin as well .. his mate Namiashi Raido is THE personal guard to the Hokage.

If these two have taken him there is not a chance in the seven circles of hell of getting Naruto from them.

Once they reach they get home Genma changes the childs diaper and puts him in a walker and makes a phone call. A short while later Morino Ibiki shows up and knocks on the door. I have heard the intel on Ibiki he the Alpha male as well as interrogator and head of the Black Ops ANBU. The man is NOT to be fooled with or taken lightly.

Once inside the door he picks up Naruto and also rubs his scent on the child holding him close.

Once I see this I KNOW that Naruto has been adopted in to the strongest wolf pack in fire country. And they will kill before they allow anyone to take him from them.

"Tsubaki, get Baki and Lizu back here immediately !!" I hiss watching the wolves scenting the Kazekages child.

We are sooo screwed... no way in hell are they going to surrender him to us.

After 20 minutes the others arrive and watch in morbid fascination as Raidou comes in and swoops the infant up and scents him quietly talking to him and listening as the child babbles back. All of the men treat the child as their own kind...a wolf.

"Lord Kazekage is going to gut us and hang us in the village square as a warning to all others not to let his children be stolen or harmed... And none of this is our damn fault to begin with...If that damn Shimeji were still alive I would kill him myself for this !!!" Lizu snarls as we watch the two leaf nin snuggling with Naruto calling him 'Ryo'. While Ibiki telling them about the war back in Suna.

It seems that they have adopted him and there is no way we can get any where near Naruto without raising their suspicion.

"No ...Kazekage-sama wants him to be raised well and kept from harm ... those two are doing just that. We will just help keep an eye on him. Naruto will stay with these two until Lord Kazekage says other wise...understood?" Baki orders us.

"Yes sir" We all respond.

"We will split this up in to two twelve hour shifts Lizu and Shanna you have first shift. Tsubaki you are with me for the second shift. Move out." He orders as he turns to leave.

I look at Lizu and shake my head as she gives a sad laugh.

This is going to be the most fucked up mission we have ever been on.

A/N sorry this chapter is so short but I promise there will be more later either today or tomorrow.

Oh yeah and Shanna and Lizu are OC's belonging to my bosses. LOL

Don't worry no romances here or super ninja I trained myself and therefore I am so much better than you will be happening with the OC's.

Those kind of OC's really and truly tick me off.
