Hello everyone. So here I will answer the reviews given to the previous chapter. Some I may have answered already but I will do it here again.
Elder Sibling – The big ass sword just came to me when I saw a picture of it somewhere so I just had to use it. It just fit into my picture of the story.
konamicode – I'm sure I answered that already but many things will be answered in this chapter. So please be patient.
DragonPony022 – No Naruto won't be 'evil' just a very short tempered. Ino's involvement will come later and I think it will be quiet a shocker so I won't tell anything for now.
avidreaded – from later point of view you are probably right but I will just put in a few more flashbacks then to explain some things
NinjaRace – Naruto being protective over Ino has a obvious reason as stated in the story options but there will be another reason later and yeah the sword just came to me.
thebehr247 – thank you very much
lifewilbelife42 – thanks and I hope that I won't disappoint you
Now then lets get on with the story.
–
Please Review and please don't hold back. Tell me if something bothered you, I can handle the truth.

"Well well well. Kakashi the copy cat nin. What an honor."
Zabuza smiled under hid bandages as he eyed the team that was supposed to protect his target till his eyes fell on a red head. He gulped
"Y... you...", he stuttered and stepped back.
'Why is he so afraid of this boy?', Tazuna thought amazed.
"Well hello Zabuza. It's an honor to finally meet you.", the redhead bowed mockingly.
"Wha... what... are you doing... here...", he stuttered.
"I don't know what you mean. I'm a Jonin of Konoha after all and was ordered to accompany this mission.", Naruto shrugged with a fanged grin.
"Wha?", Zabuza tried to regain his composure.
Naruto just sighed and passed the tall man a book which he caught.
"Page 189.", the teen yawned and leaned against a tree.
His eye twitched for a second before he smirked. Despite everyone watching no one noticed him creating a shadow clone in the tree which left the group. Zabuza in the meantime had opened the book at said page and his eyes widened. Sasuke had also pulled out his bingo book and opened said page. The genin's and clients eyes also widened.

Everyone gawked at the teen who just yawned. Kakashi stared at him in disbelieve.
'He killed Obito... but Obito is long dead.', the one eyed Jonin thought confused.
"I know what you are thinking Kakashi.", Naruto sighed and broke the man out of his musing.
Kakashi looked at him confused.
"Obito survived his accident and went crazy. It seems he saw you killing Rin and snapped. After that he planned to kill everyone.", Naruto paused and sighed.
"He had to be stopped.", the teen finished and turned to Zabuza.
"So what now Zabuza? You still want to fight?", he paused again as the memories of his clone came back to him.
"Because you associate doesn't seem to be so interested.", he finished.
"I... I don't want to fight. I know when I'm outmatched.", the man sighed.
"So you will simply retreat?", Sakura asked confused only to be at the receiving end of a death glare.
"You should thank him girl. If it wasn't for your friend here I would have killed you all.", Zabuza snarled.
"Calm down Zabuza. There is no need for bad blood.", Naruto soothed the mans anger with his own little pun.
Kakashi flinched at the teens little pun because he knew exactly what he meant.
"You are right. No need for me to spill blood of some fresh genin's.", Zabuza sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose.
Te missing nin and Jonin noticed the sudden shudder that ran over the teen and got a bad feeling.
"You are right...", Naruto trailed off with a dreamy look in his eyes.
No one dared to go closer to him till he suddenly shook his head.
"You may want to have your former partners back Zabuza.", he sighed and pulled out a scroll.
The missing nin he stared at the scroll before it dawned on him.
"Nah. You can have their bounty. I'm don't leech of others work all to much.", he answered calm.
"SO come on now Zabuza. We have much to talk about.", Naruto looked eager all of a sudden and walked up to the man.
Zabuza just eyed the boy wary till he walked past him and gestured him to follow him.
"You guys go on ahead to Tazuna's house. I will meet you there.", Naruto called and the two nins left into the woods.
Team 7 and their client stared at the spot they vanished from in confusion.
'Just when did you get so strong Naruto?', Sasuke thought a bit sad that his friend had changed so much.
'Obito... what happened to you?', Kakashi thought somber.
'Naruto is... scary.', Sakura thought with a shiver.
'This boy is terrifying.', Tazuna gulped.
"Come on lets move. How far is your house away Tazuna-san?", Kakashi decided to get the mission on the move.
"Just a few minutes from here.", Tazuna snapped out of his thoughts.
"Well then lets go.", Kakashi ordered and the group made their way to their clients house.
All of them a bit wary of what Naruto was planing.
–
Hours later Team 7, Tazuna, his daughter Tsunami and her son Inari were sitting at the dining table eating dinner. A sudden knock on the door called their attention to it. Tazuna and his family were afraid. Could it be one of Gato's man? Did he find out about Tazuna going to Konoha for help? Kakashi nodded for Tsunami to open the door while he pulled out a kunai and prepared himself to attack.
Careful and with trembling hands she reached for the door and turned the handle. Slowly the door crept open and revealed a shadow before it. Just as Kakashi wanted to pounce on the figure a eerie calm voice spoke.
"If I were you Kakashi I wouldn't even think of moving.", the voice whispered form behind him.
He could feel cold steel on his neck and realized that the figure was already behind him. But he also recognized the voice.
"Oh it's you Naruto.", Kakashi tried to sound relaxed but the teen noticed the slight tone of fear.
"You are getting rusty Kakashi.", he stated and stepped back while he put his sword away.
Tsunami eyed the newcomer with a mixture of fear and awe.
"Say Naruto. Where is your giant sword?", Tazuna asked careful.
"I sealed it away. I decided to use my secondary swords. They are far better for fast combat.", Naruto explained calm as he turned to Tsunami.
Everyone eyed the two weird short swords on his back. Their scabbards were crossed on his back and reached over his shoulders. They looked like short broad swords with a bend down handle. The handle itself was wrapped with dark red cloth. But what caught their attention were the weird cylindric things at the end of the blade.
(AN: Think Squall's Gunblade from Final Fantasy VIII)
"I'm sorry for my late coming. I had to take care of a few things before I came here. My name is Uzumaki Naruto and I'm a member of the team to protect your father. It's nice to meet you.", the teen bowed with a calm smile.
"My name is Tsunami. It's nice to meet you Naruto-kun.", she also bowed.
"Would you like to join us for dinner?", she asked as the three walked back to the table.
"That's a kind offer but I have to decline. My body can't digest normal food anyway. I have my food with me and will eat later.", he explained with a kind smile.
"You can also eat your food with us. It's more comfy to eat with more people.", Tsunami's smile never left her lips.
"I don't think that you would like it if I was to unpack my food. It would ruin your appetite for sure.", Naruto leaned back in his chair and watched everyone.
His comrades just ate their food along with Tazuna not really wanting to know what he meant by it or in Kakashi's case knew what he meant and didn't want to think about it. Tsunami and Inari on the other hand were more curious. In a spark of confidence she tried to challenge him.
"It can't be so bad if you eat it.", she stated.
Naruto thought about it for a moment before he pulled out a scroll. A scroll that was somehow very familiar to her.
"Hey isn't that the scroll he had after he interrogated the Demon Brothers?", she whispered to Sasuke who looked at it and nodded.
The young Jonin unrolled it and placed his hand on a sealing matrix. With a push of chakra a plum of smoke appeared and when it appeared. When the smoke vanished it showed a small bottle made of metal. He opened the bottle and took a swig before he held it to Tsunami.
"Take a smell and you will know why I didn't want to unpack it here.", he stated firm and she suddenly felt unsure.
Yet she steeled herself and took the bottle to hold it beneath her nose. With a short sniff she began to take in the smell of the liquid inside of it. It smelled metallic. She knew that smell from somewhere.
'Where have I smelled that before.', she tried to remember.
Suddenly her mind froze. She remembered that smell. That horrible smell. A smell she hoped to never smell again. The smell of... blood. Her eyes widened and she looked at Naruto. The bottle slipped from her hand and would have crashed on the table sputtering its content but Naruto caught it easily before he sat down again.
"I warned you Tsunami-san. You wouldn't like it.", he shrugged and took another swig.
"Wh... why?", she stuttered,
"Why I'm drinking it?", he formed the question for her.
She could only nod, not really trusting her voice. He just sighed and looked at Kakashi who nodded and began to place silencing seals on the walls. When he was finished he took a seat again.
"What I will reveal to you now is a S-Rank secret. If you tell anyone about this you will be executed on the spot.", Naruto stated serious.
Everyone paled but nodded.
"The reason why I drink blood...", everyone paled even more at that.
"... is because of my kekkei genkai. I am a vampire. To sustain my life and power I need to drink blood. Along with it I gain certain abilities. I gain the memories of everyone I drink blood from. It powers my special abilities like the one you have witnessed before Tazuna-san.", Naruto nodded to the old man who stared at him questioning.
"The power to travel inside shadows is one of my abilities. As long as I hide inside someones shadow this person can't be harmed because all damaged will immediately transferred to me. I also have advanced senses along with enhanced strength and stamina.", Naruto explained calm as his eyes turned white leaving only his black slit pupils.
"This is a sign that I'm using some of my abilities.", he explained and his eyes returned to the blue color.
There was silence in the room. No one dared to say something.
"Say Naruto...", Sakura trailed off not sure if she wanted to know.
"Yes Sakura?", he asked patiently.
"Did you ever...", she trailed off once again.
"Kill someone for his or her blood? Yes! Did I ever kill a villager of Konoha? Yes on weekly basis. Were they innocent? No because I only feed on prisoners in the death row. Did I ever feel guilty about my doings? At first yes but nowadays I have accepted it as a part of my whole being. I am a vampire, a servant of the Shinigami herself, blessed by her herself. I am a monster who knows no equal. Though there are some side effects when I drain a human.", Naruto finished.
"What side effects?", Kakashi asked not knowing of this.
"I gain some of the victims personality when I drain them. That's why I was so short tempered when we began the mission and now thanks to the new blood my personality changed again even if just a bit.", he explained and stood up.
He began to walk to the front door when he stopped.
"Oh and boy?", he called making everyone look at Inari and then at him.
"You shouldn't spout nonsense like giving up is the only choice. Giving up never gets you anywhere because only those who are courageous enough to step forward can forge their own way in life. Now you should be brave for your family because they really need it.", he stated and left the house and its inhabitants to think about the just said.

Sasuke lain in his bed and stared at the ceiling. Thinking of what his old friend had told them hours ago.

flashback
–
Sasuke and his mother sat on the veranda of their house and looked at the garden. Foot tapping from behind alerted them to the presence of a visitor. Sasuke turned around and looked over Mikoto's shoulder. The door slid open and revealed Itachi in his full ANBU gear only wasn't he wearing his mask.
"ITACHI-NII!", Sasuke yelled and bolted for his big brother.
Itachi laughed and picked the black blur up as he reached him.
"Hey there Sasuke. How are you. I hope you are not causing any trouble again.", he laughed and Sasuke pouted childish.
"You're home early son.", Mikoto smiled as she walked over to her sons.
Suddenly a somber expression crossed his face and his eyes hushed to the side. She followed his eyes and gasped. There beside him stood a young dirty child. Covered in dirty and bruises and clothed in bloody rags stood there a little boy, not older then Sasuke.
"Kami above.", she gasped and covered her mouth with a hand.
She tried to reach out to the boy only for him to flinch away, looking like a cornered animal he seemed to search for a escape route. Mikoto flinched back not wanting to believe how frightened this child was.
"Itachi-nii who is that?", Sasuke asked from his brothers arms as he eyed the dirty child.
"That is Naruto. I'm one of his protectors.", Itachi explained calm.
"Naruto?", Mikoto gasped again not wanting to believe it.
The son of her long time friends looking like this. Ready to bolt on the next chance.
"What happened to him?", she muttered as she crouched down before him.
"The villagers were after him again.", Itachi sighed not really wanting to talk about it.
"Come here Naruto. I won't hurt you.", Mikoto whispered to the boy only for him to grab Itachi's leg and hide his face in it.
"He is to afraid of anyone beside the ANBU corps. I hoped he would open up a bit but it seems like the villagers finally succeeded and broke his spirit. He is nearly apathetic to everyone. It's like he isn't even there anymore.", Itachi sighed and carefully patted the boys head not receiving a smile or any kind of reaction.
"Why are the villagers so mean to him?", Sasuke asked not really understanding what was going on.
"Because they are narrow minded fools little brother. They fear what they don't understand.", Itachi explained calm but the anger in his voice was evident.
Careful not to surprise him to much Mikoto reached out to the boy and brought him into a careful hug. Just as her arms wrapped around him he began stiffen but didn't protest. His eyes darted around hoping to finally find a escape route. The hug was warm to him but he didn't care. The touch of another person was unfamiliar to him. This warmth was frightening to him. He only felt some kind of warmth when the villagers attacked him and his own blood ran over his skin. So his young mind had only one way to react. It shut down, awaiting the pain. But nothing happened.
"Come on Naruto lets get you cleaned up.", Mikoto whispered and picked him up.
"Want to come you two?", she asked her sons.
"I will come. I'm his protector after all.", Itachi stated monotone.
Sasuke stared at his brother, mother and the weird boy. So to not be left out he hugged his brother.
"I wanna come.", he begged.
"Okay little brother but please give Naruto his space. He is afraid of other people.", Itachi whispered to his bother who nodded.
Three of them went to the bath while Mikoto went to get towels for them. When she entered the bath she gasped again. There said a naked Naruto still covered in dirt. But what caught her eye were the many scars that littered his little body. All kind of scars ran over his body from small scratches over rigged cutting wounds to burn marks. There even fresh wounds that were healing at a fast pace. She knew of the Kyuubi and it's healing capabilities towards it's host.
Carefully she scooted to the boy and pressed a wet sponge against his bare back making him flinch but still stay in place. The boy watched their mother clean the frightened boy. It pained Sasuke to see someone his age being treated like this.
'Why? Why would they do something like that?', he tried to understand.
"Don't think about it Sasuke. You wouldn't understand it anyway. There are things you are better of not knowing.", Itachi whispered as he noticed his little brothers confusion.
Sasuke only nodded believing his big brother and hoping that it was for the best. After the bath they brought the boy to the family dinner where many clan members looked at the boy with concern. Even the stoic Fugaku gulped as he saw how the poor child looked. He knew that the villagers where monsters and tried to use his influence and the Uchiha police to protect him but they couldn't be everywhere at the same time. This boy was one of the reasons why he and the elders had planned a coup against the village and these monsters in the civil council that allowed and even supported the abuse of the Kyuubi vessel. Mikoto threw her husband a look and shook her head and he sighed.
"I think we have to cancel our plans for the village.", he stated serious gaining many gasps.
"But Fugaku-sama..", one man tried to protest only to be shut up by his glare.
"We have a higher priority right now.", he paused and looked at the boy who eyed everything with a apathetic look.
"We need to protect this child from these monsters that live in this village till he is strong enough to protect himself. I hereby declare that from this day onward Uzumaki Naruto will be placed under the protection of the Uchiha clan.
With that Naruto's new life began. Over the next months he began to open up to the Uchiha's and after a year he even began to smile again.

flashback end
–
Sasuke sighed as he remembered how Naruto had stepped into his live only to leave two years later again when Jiraiya came and picked him up, saying that he was his godfather and would train him. Give the perverted sennin didn't make it out of the compound unharmed. Many of the clan had made a space for Naruto in their hearts and punished him for abandoning the boy for so long. He didn't even dare to make any kind of research for the rest of his stay in Konoha. Not that Sasuke knew of that back then.
With that he turned around and fell asleep, hoping to finally find a way back to his friend with secret being revealed.
–
After Naruto left Tazuna's house he jumped into the trees and made his way to his target while talking to his Nee-chan.
'Say Nee-chan was it right of me to tell them the truth?', he asked his tenant.
"I think they deserved to know otouto. They work with you after all.", Kunami said in his mind.
'I think so too but I just don't like people looking at me like I'm crazy.', he sighed.
"I know what you mean.", she sighed.
Naruto stopped on a branch and looked down. He stood before a large mansion.
'This little fucking midget!', he snarled as the smell of sex and fear swang by him.
"Calm down otouto. No need to explode right here. You better make him suffer.", Kunami snarled also pissed.
With that the teen vanished and reappeared on the roof. He crouched beside a window and opened it silently with a kunai. Without making a noise he slipped inside and sneaked over the beams and looked for his target. Finally he found the man. Gato was truly a midget. He thought Zabuza had exaggerated when he told him about the idiot who hired him.
This time the teen slipped into the shadows of the intermediate ceiling and fell to the ground right into the shadow of a flower pot. From there he watched the room and was disgusted. There in the king sized bed lain five naked women. This fat midget had disgraced them and covered them in his liquids. A snarl escaped him as he analyzed the situation.
'You are a dead man Gato!', he thought angry and could feel that Kunami agreed with him.
Naruto slipped into the next shadow and then into the next till he finally reached the shadow of the desk at which the man sat. He then entered the man's shadow and gained control over his body.
"Good thing that you found a way to enter someones mind though their shadow.", Kunami smiled at her brother.
Naruto send her a evil smile knowing full well that she also enjoyed it to smash some bastards soul. Gato didn't even know what came over him as his mind was set to sleep and Naruto took control. Forming a clone inside Gato he left the body and materialized beside him.
"I will raid his safe and you will call his men together. You know what to do.", the original stated serious as he walked over to a self portrait of the bastard.
Gato only nodded and left the room. Naruto ripped the portrait of the wall, gaining the attention of one of the woman who was actually awake. Fast he turned to her and made soothing gesture.
"I'm here to help. Gato won't hurt you anymore.", he soothed her as he walked over.
She began to sob and grabbed his jacket. Her sobs actually woke up the other women and they stared at the teen.
"Don't worry I will bring you out of here. Are there more?", he asked quietly not to frighten them.
"There... there are more... in the... dungeon.", one whispered.
"I will free them once I have raided all of Gato's belongings. By that time my partner should have cleared a path for us to leave through.", he stated firm while creating a clone, shocking the women.
"Don't worry. I'm a ninja from Konoha.", he smiled and switched with the clone.
With that the clone soothed the women while he cracked the safe. When he opened it he couldn't help but whistle. In it where many scrolls and a huge load of cash. Quickly he pulled out four sealing scrolls and sealed everything up while reading the account books in the safe.
One scroll held all the money Gato had stolen from Wave with some extra money along with all right on his company. Another one held Zabuza's payment. Naruto was a monster but he knew that the man and his companion needed the money. The third held the rest of the money that he would keep for himself. And finally the last one held all the scrolls from the safe. The scrolls held secret clan Jutsu's. Everything. Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Kenjutsu, Fuinjustu and Kinjutsu. They were to dangerous to leave them in civilian hands.
–
In the meantime Gato had rounded all his man for a discussion.
"Why did you call us Gato-san?", one thug asked.
"Oh I just wanted you all in one place for a little surprise.", he grinned.
"What kind of surprise?", another idiot asked.
Gato's grin grew even further.
"Your sudden demise!", he yelled.
Immediately hundreds of clones emerged from the shadows and killed everyone present. When all of Gato's man were dead the clones turned to Gato.
"Everyone! Henge into the thugs that you killed and pretend to be them. Seal up every body for that we can get money and incarnate the rest. Leave no trace behind.", Gato yelled.
The clones did just that and went to work. With that Gato went back into his mansion.
–
Meanwhile Naruto had freed the rest of the slaves and got them some clothes to cover their bodies. They left the mansion just as Gato entered it again. The women whimpered as they saw the midget with his guards.
"Don't worry. That's not Gato.", Naruto soothed them and they looked at him weirdly.
"Hey boss. Everything is going as planned.", Gato stated firm confusing the poor women further.
"Don't worry ladies. I'm controlling Gato right now. He has no free will at the moment. He would even kill himself if I told him to.", Naruto explained.
The women stared at him in disbelieve and he shrugged.
"Gato slap yourself in the face.", he deadpanned.
Gato did as told and slapped himself hard. The former slaves stared at the two in disbelieve.
"Come on lets get going ladies. I want to have you all at home by morning.", Naruto stated.
He wanted to walk outside but was stopped by Gato.
"You should wait a bit boss. It's quite messy outside.", he stated firm not wanting to let the women see the mess he had created earlier.
One woman or more of a girl his age was actually more curious than afraid because of her suffering. She stepped outside and gasped. There was a huge army of Naruto's incarnating Gato's thugs while others transformed into said thugs.
"What is... going on... here...", she stuttered.
"It's part of a big plan. Let's just say that I want to make Gato suffer as much as possible.", Naruto shrugged as he stepped beside her.
The other women actually got curious and stepped outside only to gasp. Some of them even smiled at the sight of actual justice being served.
"Come one lets go ladies. This is no place for you.", the teen stated and they left the mansion while Gato walked inside.
–
Gato woke up at his desk feeling a bit woozy. He looked around and found the woman he had fucked earlier lying on the bed. With a smug grin he walked over to his safe and opened it. He eyed his whole treasure. All the things he had stolen or gained through blackmailing or ordering the murder of innocent people. Now he only had to get rid of that fucking bridge builder and then the whole Wave country would belong to him. He laughed hysterical and walked over to the bed letting his hand sliding over the leg of one of his slaves. The woman shuddered under his touch but stayed asleep.
He didn't notice the evil being hiding in his shadow or that everything he worshiped was just a illusion by the being. Gato had nothing left without even knowing it.

That's it everyone. I hope you liked my new chapter.
