**DEMON COUPLE**

**DEMON COUPLE**

It was seven o'clock in the morning when Naruto was called to the Hokage's office. He entered the office a little confused as to why he was there, since he had no missions for the rest of the week. Looking around the room he saw a suspicious Tsunade sitting behind her desk and a concerned Shizune standing next to her.

"What's going on, Baa-chan? I don't get why I'm here." Naruto admitted.

Tsunade sighed, "Well, I got this for you. But I'm concerned and a little bit worried as to what it actually is." She explained holding a letter out in front of her. "It was sent to me, but is addressed to you. We have got our top sealers to try and open it and reveal its contents, but they have been unable to do so. So we are hoping that if we give it to the person it is addressed to, we will get some answers." She explained, handing it to Naruto.

Naruto immediately put his guard up, just in case the contents of this letter were going to physically harm him or something. He took the letter from Tsunade and read the writing on the front.

Tsunade-Sama
Give this to Uzumaki Naruto.
I don't know where he lives so I can't directly send it to him
You will not be able to open this. Only Naruto can.
Thank you.

A bright smile graced Naruto's face, his eyes sparkling, he knew who sent this.

Tsunade also noticed the smile, "You know who sent this to you?" She asked.

"Yes. Hinata." He said happily.

Tsunade was a little bit shocked as to how he knew that, and how Hinata could get an envelope only to open if Naruto was holding it, but let Naruto open it anyway, waiting for his response.

The letter wrote:

Naruto-kun,

Sorry for writing to you again. Especially if you don't want to see or talk to me because you hate me. But this is urgent. Well, not really, but I want to help you as much as I can. This piece of information I am about to give you will help you keep one of your promises. I will not write to you anymore, as you probably wish for me not to do so. I only shall do so if it is urgent or is something I feel the need to tell you. Okay, the whole reason I sent this to you and you only is because I am worried you won't get this piece of information if I give it to Tsunade. No offence to her. It's just she will probably think it's for the best that you don't know and she'd let the higher ranked people know.
Okay, I'll start by telling you that I had a run-in with Uchiha Sasuke. He hasn't changed much, apart from now he's even more arrogant than before. If that's possible. After disposing of Kabuto, who he was with at the time, I had a heart to heart chat with him. I thought about knocking him out and sending him to Konoha, but I thought you should have the honour of doing that, and I wasn't sure I'd be able to defeat him without severely damaging myself, and I can't go to hospitals or anything because people will find out where I am. I rely on Gobi chakra to heal me and I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be able to do the job. I am fairly certain that you are stronger than me Naruto-kun, and you will be able to bring him back, just like you promised you would. Anyway, I managed to convince Sasuke that Uchiha Itachi was going to have a meeting with the Akatsuki near the edge of the east border of fire country. This will happen in a month. Be prepared. And I will be there to make sure you don't die. But don't worry, you won't see me. Please don't tell anyone where my whereabouts will be, I don't need any bounty hunters to know.
Good luck and please don't die.

-Hinata and Misaki.

Naruto was in shock after reading that. Hinata knew where Sasuke was going to be. She was still helping him even though she was so far away. He smiled at the letter, even when she wasn't here she was making him fall more and more in love with her. There was also a map in the envelope, which had one spot on the east border of fire country circled in red.

Finally Naruto looked up to Tsunade, "You might want to read this." He handed her the letter. "I am going on this mission." He added, before she could even read it.

Tsunade just raised an eyebrow at him and read the letter. Once she was done she looked up to Naruto with a sigh, "Fine. In a month. You will go with two others of your choice. And one of those has to be a jounin. Got it? Come to me when you have all that figured out."

Naruto nodded and disappeared out of the hokage's office.

**DEMON COUPLE**

"Kakashi-sensei." Naruto said, running up to the silver haired man with a mask covering the lower half of his face and his headband covering his left eye.

"What is it Naruto?" Kakashi asked.

"I want you to train me. I need to know how to fight against the sharingan." Naruto explained.

Kakashi nodded, he was one of the select few that heard about Sasuke's whereabouts in a month. "Okay, but I'll warn you. I'm not going to go easy on you."

Naruto nodded, "Good."

"Okay, come to training ground seven, I'll meet you there." Kakashi stated, disappearing with the shunshin.

**DEMON COUPLE**

Naruto appeared in the training ground just as Kakashi ordered, waiting for him. He didn't get any warning, apart from a "Don't look at my eyes." From Kakashi before he was attacked.

Naruto jumped back to gain space, nodding to himself as he thought through his game plan.

"Okay, you aren't allowed to look directly in my eyes or you will be a goner, got it? Try and guess my moves by looking at my feet or sensing my movements. Only use taijutsu for now." Kakashi explained in a little more detail before charging at Naruto again.

Naruto stared at Kakashi's feet, trying to dodge but he was finding it difficult. He dodged a punch to his left shoulder but missed the knee to his stomach. Naruto jumped backwards again, staying on the defensive as he knew the offensive would do him no good.

Naruto faired a little bit better when he was on the defensive, managing to dodge three of Kakashi's intended blows when Naruto accidently looked too far up and was caught in a genjutsu for looking in Kakashi's eyes. It was a simple genjutsu, luckily and Naruto quickly sent out a burst of chakra to release the genjutsu. He was too late though, Kakashi had already slammed him so he was flying across the training ground when he actually got to release the technique.

**DEMON COUPLE**

The next few days were hard for Naruto. But he was getting better; slowly. He no longer watched the feet of Kakashi as he found that too distracting. He shut his eyes completely, relying on his other senses entirely.

The only problem with this was that Kakashi would throw rocks and things in all directions, making sound all around him which made Naruto unable to know where Kakashi was. He also had started using jutsu against Naruto, making the whole thing a little bit harder which is why Naruto had to spend the whole day yesterday in the hospital.

At this moment, Naruto was in the middle of one of those training sessions. He was feeling better from yesterday and determined to master this new skill. Naruto's eyes were closed, and he was relying on sense of smell and hearing. He was extremely lucky, he had an advance sense in both of those things thanks to the Kyuubi. He was standing perfectly still in the middle of the training field waiting.

Then he heard the sound of a foot touch the ground directly behind him. Kakashi was extremely skilled with the art of stealth so he had to pay his complete attention to hear him move. Quickly Naruto ducked under the fist her could sense coming at his head, and pulled one leg out swinging it around the ground, hoping to knock the copy ninja off of his feet. But when he felt no-one in the way, he knew the ninja must be in the air. He could feel the sparking of a Chidori and jumped back as a smash was heard from where he was once standing.

He was breathing heavily now. Taking a deep breath, he started preparing to be barraged again when both he and Kakashi heard the voice of Shizune.

"NARUTO! KAKASHI! Tsunade wants you in her office immediately." She called out, running towards them.

Naruto's eyes snapped open. He looked over to the panting Shizune and called out, "Roki!"

Roki was asleep next to one of the trees in the training area. He hadn't taken part in this training and he wasn't going to watch as Naruto would be able to hear his thoughts and then would know what was happening without relying on Naruto's own senses. So Roki had been using this time to catch up in some sleep. But when he heard Naruto call he immediately jumped up and looked over to Naruto, running over to his side. What's happening?

Not sure yet, Tsunade-baa-chan wants to see us. Naruto explained before he, Kakashi, Roki and Shizune ran back to the Hokage's office.

**DEMON COUPLE**

"What's going on Tsunade?" Naruto asked as he barged into the office. Sakura was already standing there, waiting for the rest of them to arrive. "Is it a mission? But my week isn't over yet."

"It's urgent." She answered simply.

"What's happened?" Kakashi asked, seriously.

Tsunade looked up to them, her face deadly serious, "Gaara's been taken by the Akatsuki."

**DEMON COUPLE**
