The later that day Sakura woke up in a daze. After remembering what had happen and how she was almost raped, then she remembered that Naruto had came last minute and saved her. Suddenly she felt a presence in the room with her. She looked around and found Naruto sleeping peacefully in a chair next to her. She couldn't help but blush, for the first time ever she noticed how handsome he really was.

She got out of bed, got her clothes and went into the restroom to change. She looked at her ripped up shirt and the memories of the event came rushing back. As she was about to cry she remembered Naruto's words "Sakura your safe know I won't let anything happen to you I promise," and she calmed down. She still had Naruto's jacket he had given her and decided to put that on over her ripped up shirt. Suddenly she noticed that the jacket was black "since when does Naruto wear anything but orange?" Deciding not to push the issue she left the rest room.

"Looks good on you,"

"Oh Naruto when you get up?"

"After you stepped into the restroom." Naruto was looking straight at Sakura. "How you feeling Sakura-chan." Naruto cursed inwardly as the -chan just slipped out and hoped that Sakura didn't catch it.

Sakura did in fact catch it and began to blush as she remembered that Naruto had once called her that but for some reason stopped. "Why is he affecting me like this, I mean I should be furious that he called me that only Sasuke-kun should call me that, but when Naruto said it,...it just seems right." After recovering from her thoughts she replied "I'm fine thanks to you, if you hadn't shown up I could hav..."

"Stop forget about it I mean what are teammates for," Naruto said as he got out of his chair and walked over to the door "I'm glad you are ok, Sakura" he picked up his sword and strapped it on his back "I have things to do see you around," and he opened the door and walked out.

Sakura was still in shock about Naruto's new look "mmm he looks good in black, wait what am I thinking?" She looked at Naruto leave her room and noticed his sword "when did Naruto start using Swords and why does it have that swirl, in fact why do most things that involve Konoha has that same swirl insignia?" "I sure its nothing" she said to herself loudly.

"What nothing?" a voice ran over her room, it was calm but had a hint of power behind it.

"Hokage-sama, why you here?" Sakura bowed

"Just checking on the injured from last night attack, now tell me what were you thinking and your sure its nothing." the aged Hokage said.

"Well I noticed that something happen to Naruto last night, he is wearing all black with a mask covering his face, and now carries a sword also black but with a golden dragon on the center of the sheath quite beautiful I might say myself," she paused for a moment as the Hokage was in deep thought about something after which she got the go ahead to continue "also I noticed a swirl insignia on it which got me thinking that Naruto would always have it on his shoulder but then I noticed it on our headband and on some of the Jonins uniforms, but I'm sure I'm just over thinking thing right?" She was looking at the Hokage as a smile came over his face.

"So it has finally happened that clan has finally come back and just in time too." he said quietly Sakura heard him say something but couldn't catch any of it.

"Did you say something Hokage-sama?"

"Nothing my child don't worry about it everything will be cleared in a couple of days." and with that he left leaving a confused Sakura.

Naruto was heading towards the training grounds when he came across Kakashi as he was looking at the memorial stone. "Looks like they are going to add more to the stone?" He asked at he noticed Naruto getting closer.

"Hai, and seems more will follow before everything is over and done with." Naruto was now standing next to his so called sensei.

"Yea it looks likes it," Kakashi looks at Naruto "so how you holding up?"

"Good I guess, what now?"

"Well we rebuild, recover, and get ready for the next time, I suppose." Kakashi then remembered the night before and how his student fought. "Tell me Naruto, who taught to how to fight like that?"

"Well I taught myself some of the basic, as for the advanced techniques, I read them from my parent scrolls they had left me." Naruto looked at Kakashi and almost laughed at the reaction he had.

"Y.Y.YOUR TTTELLING ME YYOU KNOW WHO YYYOUR PARENT WWERE!!" He yelled.

"Yeah, found out last night."

"But if you found out last night how could of learned the techniques they left you so quick."

"Well I guess there is no need to hide it, during the attack I was mortally wounded and was about to die, I met the damn fox," Naruto looked at his sensei and waited for him to recover before continuing "he told me that if I died he would too so he couldn't have that and gave me his power, after which the seal was weaken and it freed my parent spirits for a while, there they told me who they were and gave me their knowledge."

"I see," was all Kakashi could say he was about to say something when two ANBU ninjas came into view.

"Kakashi, Naruto the Hokage would like to see you now." and with that they made their way to the tower.

After they got there they were escorted inside and saw the Hokage sitting, also they found Neji, Lee, Shikamaru, Kiba, and Choji.

"Ah I see you have finally made it," the Hokage looked down and reached for some papers, "I have a mission for all of you, the mission will be considered as A to S-rank and is as follows. Naruto along with Neji and Kakashi are to go to Suna and investigate some rumors of a army massing on its borders, Lee, Shikamaru, and Choji you are to go to Mist and do the same, as for you Kiba. You will go to Wave and Asuma will go with you."

"Hokage-sama don't you think this mission is a dangerous for genins to take?" Kakashi asked as Asuma walked into the room with six scrolls.

"Yes your right but as I looked at the reports from last nights attack, I saw the exceptional performance of these genins so that why I am going to promote them to Jonin." Then the Hokage threw them a scroll. Naruto grabbed his and opened it inside was a black vest and a pair of fingerless gloves with plates sown on them. He quickly put them on and smiled. "You all leave in one hour and congrats to all of you, dismissed."

Naruto was walking down the street to his apartment when he came across Sakura. She looked like she was searching for something so he decided to go up to her. "Hey Sakura you lose something?"

Sakura look up to find the voice and saw Naruto there wearing a Jonin vest. "Oh Naruto, no just looking for you, I wanted to see if you wanted to come with me and eat lunch."

Naruto was confused at that, since when does she want to hang out with him, but unfortunately he had a mission in 30 minutes. "Sorry Sakura I can't I am about to leave on a mission," Naruto saw the look of disappointment on her face so he finished "But how about when I come back I'll take you on that offer, ok?"

Sakura's face quickly changed at that comment "Ok Naruto-kun but I have a question, when did you get promoted to Jonin?"

"Just a couple of minuted ago and that is why I'm on this mission," there was a small pause before "Well Sakura I will see you later as I have to leave, bye" and with that he walked to the entrance to start his mission.

ONE MONTH LATER

Sakura was getting worried for her teammate, she would go everyday to the gates to see if they had returned. To her dismay they hadn't seen the Suna team, however the Mist and Wave teams had shown up yesterday and had given their reports. She turned around and went home to think.

About ten mile away from Konoha, three figures were making their way back home. Suddenly one of the shadows stopped on a branch. "Man can't wait to get back home." the other two stopped next to it.

"I know what you mean Naruto, can't believe it took us that long to complete this mission." Neji stated as he looked down the road and saw the gates of Konoha.

"Well we better hurry and give our reports,...man they are not going to like it." Kakashi said as all of them hurried back to the village. In a matter of minutes they reached the gates and checked in with guard before they made their way towards the Hokage's office.

"Ah Kakashi your back, so whats the report." the Hokage ordered.

"Hokage-sama it seems the rumors were true, many grass nins have been spotted in the area but we also saw several Rock, and Cloud ninjas as well. They seem to have set up a base in several bordering towns." Kakashi reported.

"I see," the Hokage then pressed his intercom,

"Yes Hokage-sama?" a womans voice said.

"Have all the high ranking Jonins and the ones who just got back from Mist and Wave meet me in the war room immediately." he ordered

"Hai, I will get on it right away." she replied.

"Kakashi, Neji, and Naruto follow me to the war room." and with that they all made their way to the war room. After waiting for almost an hour everyone was now present ad they started their meeting. "Ok I have called you all here because war seems to be on the horizon, as you all know the attack that happened last month was an act of war from the Grass, but it has come to my attention that Cloud, Rock, Rain, and several smaller villages has joined their campaign against us."

"How can this be, why would Rain rise against us, I mean I understand Cloud and Rock as they still hold a grudge, but Rain it makes no sense." Anko asked

"That I do not know but as of right now we are at war with them,"

"And what of our allies?" Gai asked in a serious tone.

"As the reports came from the three teams that I sent a month ago, Mist has several enemy ninjas massing on its borders, same goes for Suna and Wave. They feel an attack is imminent, as it stands 150,000 enemy ninja is on Mist doorstep, and Suna has about 900,000 on its border."

"Well what about Wave?" Anko asked

"Since Wave is nothing more than a couple of islands they are well secured and highly unlikely to be attacked."

"I wouldn't say that." Shikamaru stated and that got the attention of every shinobi there.

"What do you mean?" Kakashi asked.

"As I heard the reports I came to the conclusion that the Wave front is just as important as Sand and Mist."

"Oh and care to explain." Anko said as she looked at the genius.

"Troublesome, as you can plainly see" as he pulled out a map of the world and placed it on the table for all to see "Suna borders us to the left, Mist to the middle and Wave to the right, the enemy will most likely try and take over these fronts, and if they succeed that will leave us wide open for a full blown attack."

"I see if didn't then they would have to march around to get to us and that would wear them out and their supplies would be used up. This way they can disrupt our trade lines and they can resupply, now I understand Suna and Mist but what about Wave, as I see it its nothing but islands they can't possibly benefit from taking it." As Naruto finished his assessment everyone looked at him as if he grew a second head. "What?"

"Naruto when did you get so smart?" Asuma said "as your report states you were the dead-last."

"Please, just because I was dead-last in the academy doesn't mean I am a complete idiot, I just use that mask so my enemy would underestimate me, besides isn't that part of being a ninja."

"Ok, well back to Wave, yes it is just a couple of islands but look here just under Mist and Leaf borders

there is a small country by the name of Tea, it maybe small but if Wave falls the enemy could use its navy to transport their soldiers to Wave resupply and drop them off at Tea, from there it is only a half days march before they reach us without much interference."

"I see but if we secure the point then Mist could use the ports and block off those areas securing that front." Naruto said

"Yes but that will severely weaken Mist's front and will probably fall, now Suna's front will probably be the hardest hit as it is smaller compared to Mist, but Mist will not be an easy front to defend as it is covered with forest and heavy mist." After a couple of hours of talking about the fronts they came up with a plan.

"Fine then it is decided, Kakashi, you and 90,000 soldiers will march to Suna defend that front make sure it does not fall, now as commander of the Suna front you may choose you ranking officers, name them now."

"Hokage-sama I would like Naruto as my second in command, Shikamaru as my strategist, and Himoto Hyuuga as my Intel officer, sir" Kakashi said.

"Very well, Asuma you will go to Mist, you are to take 60,000. Defend the front also as commander pick you officers."

"Hokage-sama I would like Anko as my second in command, Shikaku as my strategist, and Hana as my Intel officer, sir" Asuma said.

"Granted, now that the plan has been established, you march in four days time, go and prepare. Dismissed." and with that everyone left the war room. Naruto then realized how late it was and decided to go home. As he walked his stomach had other thing in mind, so he made his way to his favorite place to eat. On his way there he ran into Sakura as she was going back to the gates to see if Naruto had returned. She was relieved and happy that Naruto had finally return from his mission.

"Naruto-kun how are you, when you get back?" she asked him as she looked into his eyes.

"Ok, got in this morning. Been in a meeting all day just got out, I was about to get something to eat what about you?"

"I'm good was just about to go to the gate and see if you had returned, I was worried that something might have happen to you." Sakura kept looking into his eyes and saw that she was captivated by them "mind if I join you for lunch and you can tell all about your mission?"

"Sure why not the more the merrier, besides I get lonely eating by myself, hope ramen is ok"

"Thats fine" and they made their way to the ramen shop. There he told her about the upcoming war and what his was going to do. This made Sakura very worried, she did not want to go to war but it seems that there way no way around it now, as they day went on she told him everything that happen when he was gone, how Sasuke was promoted to chunin,because the civilian council believed he was the hero of the attack, this of course made Naruto laugh. The day was almost over and he had told Sakura that he was tired and wanted to go to sleep, so they said goodbye. Naruto walked home took a shower and went to sleep.
