So, I've a lot of things to work on. But I'll try and pump these out as best I can. I need to post the next chapter of Darth Jinsei and I'll do that soon. I do have much more to do with this story and the others that aren't marked complete along with my stop motion. So bear with me. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Chapter 6

Naruto, Ibiki and Anko were in the Hokage's office, the Iwa nin on her knees, her hands cuffed in front of her and her fingers glued together, her chakra sealed off. The Sandaime was puffing on his pipe, his eyes hidden by his Kage hat. You could tell he was irritated, because he was slowly leaking KI, somewhat frightening the two jounin. Naruto stood there, his face passive and uncaring about all this. He just wanted to know why this woman wanted his head or what Danzo told the Sandaime Tsuchikage to make him order an assassination of him.

The Sandaime calmly put down his pipe, exhaling smoke from his nose. He looked up, his eyes being cold and remorseless, showing contempt from those that would attack his village and his people.

"You come in my village and attack one of my best genin because your Sandaime listened to the advice of an elderly nukenin?" he growled as he ground his teeth. "And for what? All because the boys daddy royally fucked over your village and you want revenge by killing a dead man's son!"

Everyone flinched at the tone and Naruto's only reaction was an eye twitch. After lessons with his sensei, he'd go to the Sandaime for more training. He was a prodigy of hard work as Gai called it. The lessons Sarutobi gave him were mainly in politics and how to regain lost chakra quickly as the Sandaime has had to do such training for such a thing before. Naruto's reverses were steadily regrowing, but it seemed as if they boy was going to stick with the old ways of shinobi if he were to take on the mantle of Deathstroke.

Naruto looked at the Sandaime and walked around the desk, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Jii-sama," he said, turning his normal tone into one of respect. "Calm yourself. Take a walk around the village all right. I'll handle this."

The Sandaime nodded, surprsied that he would be taking orders from a genin, a high level genin, but a genin nonetheless. The Sandaime stood and looked at Ibiki and Anko.

"I'm going out for a bit. I'm going to ask that you leave Naruto in characge for this interrogation. Make sure he learns all the tricks and trades of it. Get the information out of her that you need then dispose of her. Send her body, piece by bloody piece to the Tsuchikage and or her family. I'll return shortly," the Sandaime ordered.

With that, he opened his window and jumped out, landing on his feet and placing his Kage's hat atop his head. Naruto watched as he slowly turned into a dot then disappeared all together. Naruto blinked as he turned his head and looked at the Ryuga female.

He pulled his headband out of his pocket and tied it across the missing eye socket, closing it as he did so. His single eye quickly adjusted to it's surroundings. He walked towards the Iwanin and kneeled on one knee. The Iwanin realized something as she stared at him. This boy, being no older than her youngest sister, looked like he'd gotten out of a war. His face was scarred, from his eye down and it seemed as if there were slash marks going across his cheek, across his whiskers.

He looked at her, his cerulean eye boring into hers. "Ibiki, get me Inoichi please."

Ibiki nodded as he walked out. They waited a few minutes, Naruto and the Iwa ningen having a staring contest. The Ryuga didn't want to give an inch of ground, but in her eyes, Naruto could sense fear. Using the senses Kurame - Kame rest her soul - had left him, he could tell she was scared, the pheremones leaking into the air and the former jinchuuriki smirked, a fang poking between his lips.

Ibiki soon returned with the Yamanaka clan head. Over the years, Inoichi's disdain for Naruto disappeared, especially after an incident where Naruto had a short training trip with his senseis as was customary per the Sandaime's instructions. Long story short, Naruto had saved Shikamaru, Ino and Choji from a group of bandits that had captured them alongside Kurenai. The males had attempted to use Ino so to speak and Naruto stepped in, slaughtering them without remorse.

"What is it you need Uzumaki-san?" he asked, bowing his head respectfully.

"Search through her mind," he stated, crossing his arms over his chest. "I found no mission scroll on her person. She was apparently sent by the Sandaime Tsuchikage to find information on me and if she saw an opportunity to kill me. She took that opportunity but failed. I need to know what she knows about why Danzo is in Iwa."

Inoichi nodded as he gave a grin and rolled up his sleeves. "Piece of cake."

Naruto nodded as Inoichi placed his hand on her head. The woman attempted to struggle, but Anko held her down with her snake summons. Inoichi closed his eyes and the woman screamed as she felt her mind be invaded. The Sandaime walked in to that scene and sat behind his desk just as Inoichi opened his eyes.

"Jounin Yamanaka," he said. "Report."

"The mission given to her was from the Sandaime Tsuchikage and his advisors, Tsuchi Kotaru, Uzumaki Seijiro and Shimura Danzo. The mission was to find as much as she could about Naruto here and do one of two things: either kidnap him and bring him to his clanmate or assassinate him and learn the Namikaze, Uzumaki and Konoha secrets."

"Could you observe anything else as you traversed her mind?" Naruto asked, worried about his clanmate.

"I can control what I see and move the image around as if I were controlling a video game. I did so and searched around and noticed that the Sandaime Tsuchikage, Uzumaki Seijiro and Tsuchi Kotaru seemed to be in a daze. Almost as if they were under the influence of a genjutsu."

The Sandaime growled. "DAMN YOU DANZO!"

Everyone flinched at this and looked to him for an explanation. "ANBU!"

Two ANBU appeared, kneeling before the Hokage. "Hai Hokage-sama!"

"Get me the council and Team 7. And tell Kakashi that if he isn't here as soon as you appear at his doorstep, I will shove a Sennen Goroshi so far up his ass that he'll taste the shit on my fingers! And then I'll burn his fucking Icha Icha to ash faster than the Kami-damned Amaterasu! Now move your asses!"

The ANBU disappeared and the Sandaime grabbed the Iwa nin by the back of her collar, dragging her down the hall towards the council room. Naruto, Ibiki, Inoichi and Anko quickly followed, jogging to keep up with the quick elder. The Sandaime arrived in the council room, sitting in his chair and placing multiple restriction seals upon the Jounin's person, locking away her chakra, ability to move and even the part of her brain that would allow her to lie as well. The councils shinobi council all arrived in shunshins and took their seats. They each questioned why the Iwanin was there but said nothing. Hiashi, Asuma and Tsunade nodded to their student/son and Ibiki and Anko took the seats that were designated for the T&I division.

The Sandaime had his kage hat placed on his head, silently fuming in his chair. The shinobi present were nervous as the Sandaime slowly started leaking more and more KI the longer they waited on the civilian side of the council to get there. The Sandaime growled and stood up, taking a deep breath and expelling ash from the smoke in his pipe. He clicked his teeth, the spark he kept underneath his tongue igniting and causing the wall to be blown out.

The shinobi started sweating profusely as they'd never seen their kage like this before. The Sandaime jumped down, and took a seal he'd been given by Naruto a few weeks into his seals training by Jiraiya. He slapped the seal on himself then gasped as he felt his chakra levels growing and his skin start looking younger and healthier. He turned to a glass mirror and his eyes widened as he saw that his age had regressed a good twenty or more years.

He narrowed his eyes and nodded, Kage Bunshin appearing in puffs of smoke. The clones quickly raced around the village, taking the civilian council members from whatever mundane tasks they were doing and dragged them to the council chambers. Hiruzen tree-walked up the building and back into the council chamber, taking his seat in the front of the room, ignoring the looks of irritation that the civilians were giving him.

"What is the meaning of this Hiruzen!" a civilian cried out. "I was just completing a deal wit-"

"That is Hokage-sama to you civilian," the Sandaime said. "For years I've allowed this village to grow weaker with my age. But no more. As you all know, three years ago, I began implementing changes that would allow our shinobi to be more prepared for the field, changing the academy's structure and curriculum to better suit shinobi of my time period rather than this period of peace. Times are changing and we cannot afford to be caught unawares. That is why I changed the academy graduation age to fifteen and sent the rest of the genin back while Naruto trained under certain specialists.

"Now then, as you all know, Danzo left three years ago after an attempt on my life. We had searched for him for three years with no success. But now we've found him. Inoichi has found out Danzo's location: Iwagakure no sato."

The civilians gasped and started muttering things to one another and the shinobi raised an eyebrow, somewhat expecting this.

"SILENCE!" the Sandaime roared. Everyone quieted, the civilians somewhat being astonished that this was the behavior their Sandaime was showing. "We've reason to believe that the Sandaime and his true advisors are under the influence of Danzo's Mangekyou, stolen from the corpse of Uchiha Shisui."

This caused uproars, mainly from the civilians and elders about how Danzo wouldn't do such a thing. Naruto and the Sandaime both quickly grew irritated at the display, but Naruto took care of it first by taking a kunai with a flash bag attached and throwing it, shielding his eye. Everyone screamed and covered their eyes. The Sandaime nodded and looked at Naruto.

"Thank you Naruto-kun," the Sandaime said. "Now as I was saying, the ability Danzo's sharigan gave him that allows him to do such is called Kotoamatsukami. It allows him to put an undetectable genjutsu on others and they never know, allowing him to influence their decisions and choices in his favor."

Just then, the remainder of Team 7 appeared, each bowing. The Uchiha and Haruno had grown (Shippuden clothing) Sasuke had only activated a single tomoe of his Sharigan. The process angered him. Looking at Naruto, he didn't know whether the boy had grown or regressed and he wanted to test this out. But the one who had grown most of all was Kakashi. Over the course of the three year period he had waited for his students to return, he had trained again to regain the skill level he once had as an ANBU Captain. He had mastered his Sharigan to the point of being able to activate it at will so that the chakra drain wasn't as great.

"Team 7 reporting Hokage-sama," the Jounin said in a respective tone as Naruto knelt down next to him.

"Hatake Kakashi and team 7, I have a B ranked mission for you," the Sandaime said.

The council gasped and started muttering about how the Uchiha would be able to showcase his skills, or rather the civilians did. They also began talking about how the "demon" would try to ruin it. The shinobi side was the exact opposite, saying how Naruto skills would probably get the mission done along with Kakashi and the other two wouldn't do much. This caused a betting pool to start around the table and eventually village. 85% of it sided with the Uchiha while 15% sided with Naruto, but the two wouldn't find this out until after the mission was completed or never at all if they didn't return.

"Your mission is this. You are to go to Iwagakure no Sato and find out as much information on Danzo as you can. Movements, mannerisms, places of residency and secret hideouts. You are to report back to me in one weeks time. If Kakashi is to meet his demise or to be incapacitated then you genin Uzumaki Naruto are to take care. It is now 1900hrs. Prepare yourselves for this mission, you have one hour. You leave from the North gate. DISMISSED!"

The Team nodded and disappeared with a chorus of Hai: the Jounin, Uchiha and Haruno in a shunshin and Naruto tapped a seal on his forehead that appeared and muttered a kai. With that, a sound like broken glass was heard and Naruto's appearance shattered. Everyone gasped at what they saw. This Naruto was over 6 feet tall, broad shouldered and muscular. His hair was buzzed, staying close to his head and he was sporting a goatee. An eyepatch stylized headband covered his right eye and he nodded to the Sandaime. He took a step forward, then disappeared, leaving an orange trail in his wake.

Everyone sat there wide eyed, not believing what they were seeing. The Sandaime stood, taking a roll of bills from his pocket and slamming them on the table. "5,000,000,000 ryo on Naruto completes the mission and the Uchiha pusses out like a bitch!"

"Counter offer: the Uchiha completes the mission and the boy runs like his mother is after him!" Haruno Teumi said. He was the clan leader of the Harunos and Sakura's uncle. It was a relatively small clan, but apparently they had a sac in their lungs that allowed them to take extra breaths which turned into their high pitched screams that could deafen anyone. It was apparently a kekkei genkai. Go figure.

-Namikaze home-

Naruto appeared in his home in a burst of orange. He walked towards the basement, ignoring the questions from Tsunade, Gai, Yamato and Yuuago. They all followed him, wondering what was happening until they saw him walk towards the armory. Naruto calmly began strapping his armor on, starting with the calfs and working his way up. He then strapped the bladed armguards on and the gloves, clenching his fist. He pulled the chest piece on, it snapping into place. He replaced his shinobi sandals with the armored boots that he had made by a clothing company that didn't know about him. And finally, he reached for a black mask to cover his mouth, and hair before he would put the helmet on. Once that was finished, he reached for the helmet. the black and orange being refurbished. It looked brand new, but it was in fact the same one that Deathstroke wore during his time. Naruto calmly tied it to his head, the orange straps reaching down to his shoulder blades.

Naruto went to the weapons racks, grabbing three hundred feet of ninja wire, one-hundred shuriken, 50 kunai and strapping two Beretta 92Fs to his hips and putting a customized AR-15 on his back. He walked over to the sword rack and strapped two ninjatos to his back along with a long sword that was ornately carved. (Think Injustice outfit)

Naruto disappeared in a burst of speed, going up to the kitchen and packing rations, medical supplies and an extra eye patch just in case. He walked down stairs, astonishing his colleagues and them wondering what could be happening for him to dawn the armor.

"Naruto," Tsunade asked tentatively, knowing that when he got the experience, he could outclass her. "What's happening?"

Instead of answering, Naruto walked out, walking through the village. Everyone gawked at his appearance, some wondering who he was and others guessing and all ready making comments about what mischief he could be up to. Naruto walked to the gate, calmly picking up speed into a dead run. As he made his way there, his sensei was giving a speech to the others.

"All right team, this is the first mission we've had that will lead into enemy territory," Kakashi said, his voice losing it's laziness. "I want you to stay sharp, stay alert and stay alive. You all know Hokage-sama's orders so you'll follow them to the letter."

Sasuke scoffed as he looked at Naruto. "Hey dobe, what's with the getup."

"It was an outfit worn by my ancestor Slade Wilson. I made a promise to the Hokage and my mother three years ago and it is one I intend to keep," he said, his voice changed by a modulator in the helmet. "The time of the Chunin Exams is near. "It's time to begin sowing fear into everyone. Let them remember to always fear the stroke of Death. Come, we best be off."

With that and leaving no room to question him for the cryptic answer, Team 7 raced forward, calmly making their way through the darkness to the borders of Tsuchi no Kuni.
