(Peoples thoughts)

I don't own Naruto

Naruto decided one thing about to day and it was very simple. (If one more person asks to see a sword...) His thoughts vehement behind the calm exterior.

He had finally escaped the civilian populace and entered the training ground areas surrounding Konoha. His peaceful walk was interrupted as he passed by a field and stopped just as two fingers rose up and caught the Kunai flying at his head.

He turned in the direction it came from to see a girl with two buns on her head running over while apologizing profusely.

"I'm so sorry were practicing and Neji deflected my kunai. We didn't know any one was about." The Chinese style dressed girl said as she bowed and took back the kunai he threw to her with a flick of his wrist.

With a shrug he turned to walk off only to here a sigh and turned to see said girl with hearts in her eyes staring at his back. With a raised eyebrow he coughed. Only to watch her turn beet red as she realized the swordsman had caught her checking him out.

"Can you be helped?" He stated as she blushed further.

"You..Your him aren't you??" She asked scaring him slightly as she slow inched forward with the big hearts in her eyes.

"That is rather vague to go by Ms?" Naruto asked as he subtly inched away from something he was having flashbacks too. The most terrifying experience in his life...Fan girls.

"Your Naruto Uzumaki one of the last premier swordsman in the shinobi world! I just wanted cant believe it! I've been dying to meet another weapons user but to thank I'd get to meet a swordsman of your caliber.." The girl was almost drooling while she leered at him.

Thinking quickly he subtly replaced himself with a water clone and quietly left while the girl continued to advance on her prey..um interest..right.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"I wonder if perhaps Suna would be interested.This place is far to complicated." The kenjutsu master said with a shrug of his shoulders as he walked quietly about only for yet another encounter.

(If I was to think differently I meet believe someone above was trying to irritate me.) Still it was at least different this time. The quiet sun glass wearing teen simply looked up from a bug he studying and with a nod returned to it.

Naruto walked by only to stop and turn to him."While I understand the use of gaining knowledge I must ask for you to remove the bug you placed on me Aburame-san. A simple asked question could have resulted in better results." Naruto said as he felt the bug leave his skin and he traveled on feeling the curious stare of the bug user as he left.

"That is Naruto Uzumaki...Interesting." Shino turned back to watch a beetle as it wandered across the forest floor. (He might be worth further analyze) Though rather this was the beetle or Uzumaki no one could have been sure.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Naruto stopped as he felt the presence and a small smile crept opun his features. "It has been a rather long time...Kisame-sama"

"Hey kid see. Looks like you grown some." Kisame's deep echoed off the woods as he appeared leaning against a tree. Samehada in his hand wrapped up as usual.

"Is this a visit for old times Kisame-sama or for what you told me about." Naruto asked while removing his black cloak and rolling his shoulders.

Kisame studied him with a bit of pride. He had helped train the kid after all. Still a jobs a job." Both... I know you have been collecting everyone's sword as they fell."Kisame lifted his unique sword up and pointed it at Naruto.

"What happens then is one of us while after wards will be carrying 7 blades unless Raigi-sama has already fallen." The blonde shinobi spoke as he lifted his hand walking in a circle removed five unique blades stabbing them into the ground in a circle around them.

"Yea this will be fun."The blue grinned with a mouth full of razor sharp teeth. " Pull your blade kid. I haven't seen you blade since the fight we had against those rock elites 'the Mountain guardians'. Lets see the other living blade."

His blonde former student and blood brother nodded and with his hand in front of him allowed his chakra to form in to it. With a puff of smoke a kitana in a black sheathe appeared. The hilt had a red ribbon hanging from it.

The sheathe was polished back with a blood red moon design on it. The blond's other hand slowly moved to the hilt and grasping it spoke with a voice promising much. " Awaken my passion. Awaken Benihime."

With a flash of red he pulled the blade from the sheathe exposing the long shining metal of the one sided sword. The blades hilt curving slightly as it thrummed in his hand.

"I know its been a long time but I wont draw you for any but those that are worthy of you." Naruto said as the blade flashed red along its shining white surface.

Kisame grinned as his own blade was excited. He'd wanted to fight this kid and his blade since the he'd found 'her'. Hefting his enormous blade he nodded to the blonde before they both rushed forward.

The battle for a legacy has begun.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sarutobi lifted his head as he felt it and cursed. ( Damn it. I didn't think they'd come after him so soon.) The wizened old man snarled as he tore out of his office yelling for ANBU to come with him.

He'd be damned if Minato's kid was dying on his watch as he vanished in a swirl of leaves.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The two stopped in midair as there blades meet. The very swords the used attacking the other with flashes along the blade of Benihime and pulses from Samehada. The two looked at each other with twin grins. Neither could deny wnjoying the challenge.

"Good to see you didn't slack off runt when everything went to shit" The shark man said as he twisted away and slashed low with his shark sinned sword.

"I have a promise to fulfill Kisame-sama. A promise to never let the spirit of the seven die. I will not fail" The younger blonde spoke as leapt over the larger blade and brought Benihime in for a downward slash.

Kisame rolled back to avoid the blade and the two began there dance of death anew. The cutting blade meeting the shaving edge many times as neither scored a hit.

No further words were needed. This wasn't about shinobi principles but to swordsman that lived for the concept of the blade and the blade alone. Too use jutsu in this would be an insult to everything they ever had fought and shed blood for.

Soon the combatants were covered in small wounds. Kisame had a dozen near call cuts and Naruto sported a very bloody shoulder and his left hip looked horrendous. All these wounds were ignored.

The two bellowed as they charged another. With a powerful slash meant to cut the smaller blonde in half Kisame shifted his weight and brought his shark skin blade forward like a baseball bat. The move would tear Naruto in to many pieces.

Would have had it hit.

For a second everything seemed to stop as Naruto stood behind Kisame. Benihime covered in blood.

"You figured out Jubei's flash step." Kisame spoke as he coughed up a bit off blood.

Naruto turned as he lifted his blade. The blood absorbed into metal. Walking around the victor stood before his defeated blue skinned opponent.

" I promise Kisame-sama to fulfill what you and the others taught to me." The whiskered survivor said as he stood respectful to the dying man before him.

"No need for words kid. I know what you can do. Just don't let know weaklings smirch what it was we did." The shark like man said before falling to one knee.

"And kid...you'll do it."Kisame said before falling forward. Blood pulling underneath him.

Naruto went down into a kneeling position to pay his respects as he turned the larger man onto his back and closing his eyes. He closed his briefly and whispered. "Watch me sensei I shall not disappoint."

Standing up he walked over to Samehada and lifting the blade watched as the blood vanished from the surface before with a puff of smoke the blade vanished from his hand.

Just after that ANBU and the Sarutobi appeared. "Naruto are you alright." The old man exclaimed wide eyed. The old man and ANBU stood in shock of seeing one of the most deadly missing ninja lying dead at the hands of a thirteen year old.

"Yes jiji, don't worry. This is already over." The young man replied as his remaining wounds slowly closed.

"Naruto what happened?" The old man asked as he tried to figure out the situation before him.

Naruto stood there for a long moment before responding.

"The passing of a legacy...Excuse me jiji but I have a brother to bury and another to alert another has fallen." The younger man said with a sigh as he walked over to the dead swordsman and lifted him with a grunt over his shoulder.

The Hokage thought for a second of stopping him for a better explanation but before the words escaped his lips Naruto spoke again.

"When all is said and done we all are but human and I like any other would like time to say goodbye to my family excuse me." The said curtly with an undercurrent of sadness in his voice. The blonde walked away as the Hokage stood there lost in thought.
