Naruto: The Missing Anbu Commander

Chapter 2: Meeting of The Damiyo and Traveling to Kumo

(A/N: Alright, guys listen up for I'm gonna say this now and don't wanna repeat myself chapters like the first one won't be that long for it just shows to much and I plan on shortening it to maybe 15k words or at the LEAST 19k words per chap. Thats all now enjoy the Chapter)

The Fire Lord of Fire Country Iro Mazaki, was staring at the man infront of him. He had just been told of someone wanting to speak with him, but had at first declined saying he was spending time with his family. Though things changed when the messenger said it was urgent and spoke exactly 'who' it was.

That made him leave in a hurry...

So imagine his surprise when he is informed of a group of Uchiha and its Matriarch along with Naruto's little sister that he has help protected from Sarutobi's attempts. That made him mentally scowl that man had lost his respect long ago. He shook his head before speaking.

''Hello Naruto-san, its good to see you in good health. Now I am glad to see you and all, but I have to ask what is so urgent to come here personally to speak with me?''Iro said wondering what his friend needed to speak about thatwas so urgent to not even relay a message ahead of time.

Naruto frowned before looking at Mito ''Mito-chan go to Mikoto-san and stay with her and Hitomi-chan, while I speak with Iro-sama, ok?''he said with a reassuring smile. Mito was about to disagree when she saw him reassure her so she walked over to Mikoto and Hitomi before turning her head to see Naruto nodding for her to go on ahead.

She smiled before walking with Mikoto holding her hand as they walked out the door, Hitomi though was hesitant as she looked at naruto worried until he spoke ''Hitomi-chan, don't worry everything will be fine. Remember what I told you? I would do anything I had to protect you, Mikoto and anyone else that is important to me. So go on ahead Iro-sama have things to speak about.''he said,

Hitomi stayed there for a few seconds before smiling and went out the door giving Naruto one last glance as the doors closed. After they did so a tense silence followed as Naruto looked back into a piercing brown eyes as Iro stared back into cold icy blue eyes. They stayed like that until Iro broke the tension.

''Naruto, what is the reason you called this meeting? Has something happened?''he said needing to know what has been going on to make his friend and be so serious. Yeah Naruto usually is serious all the time, but at the moment he was seeing something in Naruto's he hasn't ever seen before.

Naruto just remained impassive before speaking, ''What I'm doing here Iro-sama is that something happened in Konoha that has made take the alternative path I once told you about.''he said making Iro's eyes widen slightly, Naruto continued despite this ''You see I won't lie to you ever since the past Declaration of war from Iwa and its decimation, Konoha's higher-ups have been on my back for some time now. But that wasn't really that bad. That is until...they crossed the line with one of my Subordinates...''he said with a cold edge tone in his voice.

Iro frowned at this he remembers the declaration on Konoha from Iwa and the Damiyo of Earth Country had not known until it was too late. Despite that though it stopped when news of Naruto's deeds of decimating the invading force and of his action with destroying part of Iwagakure itself. Still Onoki the Tsuchikage had survived that whatever destroyed the tower at the time surrendered, and to make that man surrender was in itself was almost impossible to do.

That's when he analyzed the rest of what Naruto said and spoke ''What did they do Naruto? Was it so bad to make you leave Konoha along with the Uchiha Matriarch and some of the Clans members as well?''he said, Naruto just stiffly nodded before speaking. ''Yes sir, now I'm gonna explain to you all that's happened in the past few hours regarding of whats happened and of the current situation.''Naruto said.

Iro nodded before Naruto started explaining of what Hitomi passed on to him, First he told him of 'itachi's true gender and name and what a few in the Uchiha were planning, Hitomi's position of being their spy within the Anbu ranks, also of Sarutobi and the Elder's order to have Hitomi be a Undercover Double-agent within the Uchiha Clan. He also told him of the threat he gave to Hitomi if she didn't do as they asked when they ordered for the uchiha clan as a whole to be slaughtered.

He also spoke of when he came and helped her with the finding the true traitors of the clan and helped assassinate them before sparing the innocent. He spoke of them saving Mikoto from Fugaku trying to kill her, after this he told Iro of his summoning with the Governing Body of Konoha. He told Iro of his argument with Sarutobi and with his order to the old man to give him the information he needed. That's when he lastly spoke of Sarutobi's threat of to have Mito killed to subjugate naruto's will.

He then explained the rest of him leaving behind a scared council and amused Clan head's of his long-time last words to most of them, if they ever stepped in the wrong territory he'd be back to kill them.

Iro took all this in stride before he snarled in rage, ''I warned him! I warned that old fool, if he crossed the line with me him and Konoha would pay!''Iro yelled, he closed his eyes trying to calm down after hearing everything especially about Sarutobi's threat with Mito's life and having the man order such a thing with Uchiha clan made his blood boil!

He took a calming breath before opening his eyes before he looked in Naruto's direction, ''Don't worry, Sarutobi will pay for what he has done, Konoha will suffer for the Leader's ignorance and foul leadership. Now while I deal with them is their anything you need Naruto?''he said, after seeing the hesitant look appear on his face.

Naruto looked at the ground as thought about what he was gonna ask of the man infront of him. That's when he steeled his eyes and looked at Iro, ''Iro-sama, I ask- no beg you''he said before kneeling infront of the shocked man since he knew Naruto never bowed to anyone. Naruto bowed his head till it touched the stone floor he was on ''I beg you, Can the Uchiha Survivor's along with Mikoto-san stay here? And be protected within your wall's? I don't know any other place then under your protection they would be safe.''he said.

Iro just blinked as his shock rapidly disappeared with Amusement filling his body. He stood up and walked over to Naruto's kneeling body. He bent down and pulled on his arm to make him stand, ''Naruto...you don't have to beg its not in your nature to do such a thing, besides...''he said with a grin that looked unnatural on a Damiyo's regal face. ''Of course they can stay they will be put under my protection and kept safe from Konoha and especially Sarutobi and his teammates clutches.''he said.

The Avatar of Death just smiled before straightening himself out, Iro wasn't done though ''But what will you do Naruto? With Hitomi and Mito where will you go? I mean you are always welcomed here, but I'm sure you have something planned out don't you?''he said with a grin.

His response was something he didn't expect, ''I know of one place where me and Mito will be welcomed and that place is...Kumo the current Raikage was friends with my parents and would be the perfect place to help train Mito and myself. As for Hitomi she has informed me that she will be going undercover in Jiraiya's spy network and join a secret uprising organization called 'Akatsuki'. She will be seen as 'Itachi' in the organization and in public until we can find a way to find out their objective and who their Leader is.''he said.

Iro nodded with the plan it was full-proof he too had heard about to now growing in fame Akatsuki and had recently been hearing rumors the group across the Elemental Nation's. He then remembered something he had been wishing to speak to Naruto about for a while now. ''Naruto I agree with your plan, but there is something we need to speak about, since your no longer a Shinobi of Konoha and will most likely be put in the Konoha Bingo Book what will you do? Someone of your old position and abilities will not be ignored in the Elemental nation's.''he said

Naruto just frowned and thought about it, what will he do? Surely Iwa will send assassin's after him, and Konoha's Hunter-nin will be hot on his trail even if hes in Kumo. He closed his eyes thinking on what he should do. Iro saw this and spoke, ''I know of a way, and honestly I've been thinking on this I can place you in that will define your skill's.''he said with a slight grin.

Said Ex-Anbu-Captain Commander blinked and looked at Iro with curious eyes, ''What would that be, Izo-sama?''he said, If anything Iro's grin got wider before he spoke ''Since you Naruto and your family have been friends with my family for so long and you are highly respected among all Fire Guardian's and basically my personal Samurai, I would like to Officially award you the position among my troop's.''he said.

Naruto gaped as his jaw fell to the ground, Him? Being Officially placed in the Fire Damiyo's army? He gulped audibly as he spoke, ''And what position would that be?''he said.

Iro just gained a shark-like grin making Naruto break out in a cold sweat something that he rarely does. ''The Leader of the Fire Guardian's, The personal Commander of my whole Army, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze I would like to make you the first ever 'Kasai rīdā - Sotaicho' (Fire Leader-Captain Commander).''Iro said his grin gone at the end replaced with total and utter seriousness engraved on his face.

Naruto gasped as he just thought about what Izo just said, Him, The Leader of the Fire Guardian's? The very same ones he was respected by for protecting them and the Damiyo's in his time as Anbu-Sotaicho (Captain-Commander), Personal Commander of his whole army? Something like that kind of position has never been called in history. He thought about it and looked into his friends eyes.

''Iro-sama, I...I humbly respect your decision, but I'm afraid I'm not fit or even strong enough to be in that position, What I've done over the year's the people I've killed...''he said.

Iro just looked at Naruto with eyes that said 'are you a baka?' before he spoke ''Naruto...you say your not fit for the position? Have I ever told you your Father and Mother, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze are the ones that helped me come up with the idea? They once spoke about actually having you their own son in this position if Konoha had gotten out of hand, in which case it did. They are the ones who left that position which specifically for you Naruto. As for not being strong enough...You can't be serious! You are already recorded in history books for decimating over THREE Battalions from Iwa and also your attack of Iwagakure itself!''he said.

Naruto's eyes shot wide open the position he was being offered was one his own parents helped the damiyo create? And had actually hoped he'd be the one to succeed the position? Plus getting talked about his achievements in the Iwa Massacre made him feel slightly embarrassed. That's when Mito flashed through his mind and he decided right then and there what he would do.

He raised his head up to Iro and said, '' Iro-sama, I regret what I said and would accept your offer only if you give me time to help train Mito and myself, I can honestly say I'll be ready to succeed the position in a few years to come. Until then you can give me mission's to other Damiyo's and Village leader's if it will help out Hi-no Kuni.''He said with Confidence and Determination coming off him like a the flaming sun.

Iro just smiled and spoke, ''Very well then I accept your proposal, during the time your in Kumo I'll send in Mission's transferred from me to the Kaminari Damiyo (Lightning Damiyo), He then will have them delivered to the Raikage for you to take upon yourself. As this goes on I will be expecting you to get stronger so you can fill in that position. As for your sister, your mother had asked me to make the position for her when she was strong enough to claim it, train her till shes strong enough Naruto.''he said.

Naruto just smirked, ''Very well Iro-sama, I'll see to it Mito-chan is strong enough to give any kage a run for their money or beat them in the future. As for myself I promise I'll get stronger to make my parents proud and take the position they helped create and to protect those important to me.'' Naruto said as he eyes just told Iro he was speaking to damn honest truth and would do what he said.

''Good, now get going and as promised I'll have the Uchiha Survivor's along with Mikoto Uchiha be put under protection and can place their clan within my wall's so they won't have to worry about the threats outside.''he said, Naruto nodded.

''Yes, Thank you again Iro-sama, now by your leave''he said in his professional tone, Iro nodded before speaking ''Your Dismissed...and Naruto''he said.

Naruto looked over his shoulder to see Iro smiling at him, ''becareful out there, don't want my finest warrior dieing out there.''The Fire Damiyo said.

The Secret Avatar just smirked and nodded before walking out the door as it closed behind him. While Iro watched him leave he thought about the future,

'That boy, He's gonna be someone very important in the future even now with his new responsibility, I can already tell the Fates are in his hands and will be the one help turn this war-torn world into a peaceful land. Him and Mito both will both be legends as they grow up and get stronger and wiser. I can only hope I can be there to see it happen...'

With that Iro Mazaki left to go prepare his punishment on Konoha for what they have done, and show them who TRULY rules Fire Country.

With Naruto

After Naruto walked out of the throne room, he was told by the guard that they were escorted to the room with the survivor's. So with that he shunpoed to get to the others to relief them the news. When he got their he opened the doors to see the Uchiha occupant's resting from the long journey from Konoha. As he looked around he see's Hitomi and Mikoto with Mito asleep on a handmade futon.

He walked over to them before making his presence known. ''Hey, Hitomi-chan, Mikoto-chan. Just got done talking with Damiyo-sama''he said, ignoring the fact he added 'chan' at the end of Mikoto's name.

Though Mikoto did notice and like Hitomi filed it for later...

''How did it go?'' Hitomi said, needing to know whats gonna happen with the rest of her clan and her kaa-san. Naruto just smiled before speaking ''I have gained your Clan's entrance and are able to live within the wall's of the city also The clan is under the protection of the Damiyo included with the whole of his personal Samurai and Fire Guardians.''he said, gaining shocked looks from Hitomi and Mikoto along with some spectators that were listening to the conversation.

''R-really?, we'll be able to live here free from the outside Danger's and of Konoha?''said a teary eyed Mikoto. Naruto just nodded before he was pulled into a hug from a rather joyous Mikoto. He looked at Hitomi to see a tear fall from her face showing she had not expected this to really happen. He mentally grinned since he always could do the impossible...

That's when Hitomi remembers the situation in Konoha, ''What about Konoha, I'm pretty sure they try something even with Damiyo protecting them.''she said, but was cut off when Naruto's face had a shark-like grin come up on his face making the two a bit nervous. ''Hoho, not need to worry about them. Damiyo-sama has personally said it was high time they learned exactly WHO was in charge of Hi- no Kuni and was going there himself along with his personal Samurai to deal with them.''he said before he chuckled in a cold and dangerous tone.

The two went wide eyed, The Damiyo himself...Was heading to Konoha? They to grinned thinking of how some were gonna react to that. Naruto continued ''he should be heading there the same time me and Mito head out as well. Now while this is happening, Hitomi-chan be sure that if you get in trouble you signal me the way I told you alright?''he said earning a nod from Hitomi. Naruto smiled before looking at the confused Mikoto, he reached into his pouch and pulled out a Tri-pronged Kunai. This got a audible gasp from Mikoto since anyone would recognize that Kunai.

Naruto grabs Mikoto's hand and places the Kunai in her hands then closes it open before looking into her amazed yet confused eyes. ''Mikoto-chan, just like Hitomi-chan this kunai will lead me back to you if you are in ever need of help just throw that kunai and I'll be there I have a special seal placed on it so that if you are in danger it will send a message back to be before I 'Flash' back to you, So use it when you need to ok?''he said with a gentle smile.

Mikoto looks at the Kunai in her hand back to Naruto with wide eyes before looking back at it again. She couldn't get it out of her head to be given such a responsibility, to be given the Kunai that in history brought her friend Minato the name Konoha's kiiroi senkō (Yellow Flash). So she did the only thing she could logically think of at that exact moment...

She walked closer to Naruto till she was practically smashing her body with her own and gave him a peck on the lips before moving away hiding her blush. Hitomi's eyes shot wide open before looking into Mikoto's eyes to see an emotion she knew all to well...

Love and Gratitude...

For the one person to help her when she needed it the most, she honestly didn't know what to think at the moment except replaying what she just saw over and over again. Her Kaa-san...kissed Naruto...on the lips!

She looked to see a shocked Naruto touching his lips as his eyes were wide open in surprise. She sighed as she remembered all the times Naruto would come over she had seen the times her kaa-san would look at him when he wasn't looking, but had shrugged it off not thinking it was important...

But now she knew it meant something if what just happened was anything to go by...

Naruto meanwhile was replaying what just happened in his head, before he looked in Mikoto's direction that's when he saw the tiny blush on her face. He mentally sighed that was the third time he was kissed...by a different woman!

Now he may act like a dense fool around women, but he knows when one is interested in him and right now he doesn't know much on Megami since it had been when he was 5 year's old, and he had yet to talk to her since then. Then there was Hitomi his recently revealed best friend. He honestly could say he had something for her, but didn't know as of yet. For Mikoto she was his Kaa-san's best friend when they grew up and the times of him visiting her flashed back into his head, the times he helped her when she needed it, watching over Sasuke when Fugaku was to induced in the clan to even care.

That's also when his friends in konoha cam to his mind...Yugao, hana, Anko and lastly Kurenai. Kami how many women did he care for in that way?

He was confused about this, that's when strangely Mito flashed in his mind, but she was his sister for Kami's sake! How could he have feelings for her as well? Sure he loved her with all his heart, but did he love her more then a brother should? He didn't know and shook his head before getting control over himself he'd think on it later on.

''Ehm, well...Hitomi-chan, we have to get some sleep for tomorrow and Mikoto-chan Damiyo-sama has assigned rooms for everyone in the palace till he can sort out a plot of land for the clan compound to be newly made.''Naruto said getting a slow nod from Mikoto since she was still getting over what she just did.

Naruto smiled before going over the Mito's sleeping form and picked her up gently as to not wake her, after this he shifted her body till she had her head on his shoulder with her arms wrapped around his neck. He nodded at the two women before walking out the door.

After this Mikoto had assembled the Uchiha occupants and announced what the current situation on what was going to happen. That's when naruto gained the eternal respect of the clan for helping them survive a full-out slaughter and bringing them to a new home.

Hitomi watched this with a smile on her face before she too left to her assigned room. As she did she thought about the future ahead of them all...

Naruto & Mito's Room

Once Naruto was inside their room he had gently set Mito on her futon, but took a little trouble to have her let go of him. He then started grabbing his scroll's and setting them down on the table before he placing Zangetsu beside his own futon that was beside Mito's own.

After which he sighed before getting out of his clothes, though he never saw Mito slightly wake up so when he was taking off his Black long sleeved shirt he never saw her face light up like the sun and jump under the covers.

Kyuubi who watched the scene couldn't get the picture of Naruto's muscular chest out of her head and when she saw her containers reaction she decided to tease her, 'Wow, never knew Naruto-kun was that muscular under all those clothes of his. Was that a 6-pack I wonder...oh my Mito-chan...are you...having pervy thoughts?' kyuubi said.

This got the immediate reaction out of the now wide awake girl since she blushed even harder making her long red hair pale in comparison. 'Kyu-chan, I...I wasn't...'

'Don't deny it Mito-chan!, I saw the way you looked at him if only for a split second, but I saw it! You...'like' him don't you?' Kyuubi said, putting the emphasis on 'like'. This made Mito bury her head even deeper into her pillow trying to think up an excuse to counter what kyuubi said.

'W-well...I know you like him to! And don't think I don't know the thoughts running through your head when we see him. I can always hear them and especially when your asleep you always mumble things like 'ooo Naru-kun there' or 'Ah Naruto-kun!' so hah!'said a mentally grinning Mito.

This made Kyuubi blush the color of her fur, to think her container knew the things that had been happening with her and the fantasies shes had for her brother. Yeah, she will admit it Naruto was someone that had captured her heart albeit unintentionally, but still he had things other mortals never had. He was strong, confident, loyal to a fault and protective of his friends. She still remembered the night when he jumped infront of her crazed induced attack on his mother. That took guts never seen before.

No mortal was as strong and yet brave as Naruto, and yes she also knew of his true power after all she was actually a divine entity that has seen the true side of humanity both good and bad. So it shouldn't have come to a surprise when she felt the feeling of Megami on him. That's when she knew Naruto was far more stronger then anyone knew and that attracted her to him even more...

'Well at least you didn't deny what I said earlier so you do like him don't you!' she said, questioning her container.

'I...I..I...gotta go!'she said before cutting of connection. Kyuubi still smiled at this Mito just couldn't see that she loved her brother more then that of a sister should, but keeps her feelings pushed down. She's gonna have to convince her soon that it doesn't matter if he was her brother, love comes in many ways. She might have not known love, but she knew the way it was...

She only hoped that there was a way to get Naruto's love for herself as well...

Back in the real world Mito had opened her eyes to peek over the covers to see Naruto getting into his futon. So when she quickly hid and waited. She had thought about what kyuubi said,

'Do I really...like Naruto-nii that way?...' Mito thought before she heard the sound of breathing, when she looked out of her covers she saw naruto already asleep that's when her eyes started to soften. Although she was still only 10 year's old she had the extraordinary ability to see through people's emotional defenses and it came very helpful and could also read people by looking into their eyes.

But when it came to Naruto she always saw past the love he had shown for her as she grew up that he was tired...Exhausted even she never knew until a few months ago, but she came to the conclusion he was so tired of watching their backs for enemies or dealing with the stress of fighting the Konoha's governing body.

She had truly never seen him sleep and not have a weapon at the ready in case of an attack, but now she could finally see Naruto look more peaceful and less tense then he ever was. When she looked at his face she was mesmerized by the way he just looked there wasn't a shred of the scowl when his body was tense and ready for an attack.

That's when she saw him starting to shake and scowl even more, so she did the only thing that could come to her mind. She crawled closer to naruto's body and laid her head on his chest, before wrapping her arms around his body as best as she could. She let her long red hair flow down covering her body. She then pulled the blankets over them, that's when Naruto's body started to look less tense and his scowl was replaced with a small smile.

She smiled back, before she felt a pair of arms wrapped around her body she looked back to see his arms around her back as he pulled her deeper into him, and she welcomed it as she leaned into the crook of his neck whispering soothing words to help calm him down. It seemed to work as his trembling completely stopped and was fully relaxed. She felt his heartbeat slow down to the normal pace as well. She smiled as she embraced the warmth of her ni-Naruto's body.

Though secretly Kyuubi was too...

She wouldn't know that Naruto secretly loved the feeling of warmth cover his body like a blanket as it washed away the nightmares of his sin's, And just enjoyed the warm feeling over his body.

This was the scene no one would know about...and only shared between these two for the rest of their lifes...

When morning had come, Naruto was already opening his eyes only to screw them shut mentally throwing curses at the sun, making Zangetsu secretly amused at that. When he did get use to the sun blinked the tiredness out of his eyes before trying to get up.

Only to feel a weight on his body. He quickly looked down to see a red haired body on his own he followed the hair till he saw Mito's sleeping face on his shoulder. He blinked before remembering the strange warmth cover his body when the nightmares came back. He smiled gently before kissing her forehead. He gently started to shake her, when he stopped to see if it worked to wake her he only got a 'mmm,My ramen' he smirked she definitely got kaa-san's love for ramen even dreaming about it! So when he shaked her again he expected her to say something about ramen again...

Imagine his surprise and shock when she said something totally different...

''Mmm, Naruto-kun...let me sleep a little longer'' she mumbled this made Naruto do a take back, 'Naruto-kun?' when did he become that? What happened to 'Naruto-nii? Or 'Nii-san?' before he had time to contemplate this he felt something over his face so when he opened his eyes from thinking his eyes snapped wide open seeing Mito's face an inch from his own.

He only had a second to mutter gasp before Mito's lips locked with his own. He stayed rooted to the spot for what felt like an eternity which really was seconds before he gently hiding his panic lifted Mito's body and set her down in bed. After this he quickly got up, grabbed a scroll with the Kanji for (Clothes) before going to the shower.

He never saw the slight openings of Mito's eyes or the massive blush on her face as she remembered what she had just done...

'Sweet kami, I just kissed Naruto-kun!' she mentally screamed waking up her tenant, which was gonna make it worse for the poor red-head...

'Ooo, whats this? Did you just say you...kissed...naruto-kun?' kyuubi said with amusement in her tone.

This made Mito freeze mental before blushing like crazy as kyuubi showed the memory of what she had just done over...and over...and over again.

Kyuubi just loved torturing her container...

When Naruto had gotten out of the shower he had picked up his scroll and poofed out a new set of clothes. So when he walked back out with only his pant's on he blinked in surprise to see Mito already woke up and was staring at him...

With wide eyes and a big blush on her face. Naruto blinked before remembering the current attire he was wearing...or the lack of..before he blushed as well before quickly putting on a Black muscle shirt. After this he just grinned breaking the embarrassing situation they were just in.

''Good morning Mito-chan!''he said

It seemed to work, since Mito's blush lessened and smiled back at him, ''G-good morning Naruto-k-kun'' she mumbled before realizing what she just said then the blush brightened.

Naruto heard the 'kun' part and decided to accept it for now, if Mito wanted to say it that way for now on she could. I mean its not like it would change their relationship forever...

Right?...

He then went to his personal belongings and started unsealing the rest of his clothes. As he did so he looked over his shoulder and saw Mito get up and get ready as well. As he looked at her the more he kept seeing his kaa-san in her, she just kept growing up to be like a clone of her and sometimes it hurt since he never got to say goodbye...

He shook his head out of his musings at least he had Mito, the one person he'd protect with all his strength. With that he grabbed his trench coat and pulled it over him. After this he latched Zangetsu onto his back fully wrapped in its casing's. He looked then sat down and waited on Mito to get done.

After a few minutes he opened his eyes after mentally planning on their next move. When he looked around he saw Mito already dressed, but attaching her kunai and shuriken pouches.

He stood up surprising Mito, he then walked to the door as he spoke ,''Mito-chan are you ready?''he said looking over his shoulder. He got a nod from the strangely quiet girl. This made him raise an eyebrow since Mito was usually hyperactive and wondered if she was alright.

He continued on though, but still wondered if she would be ok...

Although he never knew the thoughts running through her mind at the moment,

'Since when did I start calling him, 'Naruto-kun?' or the fact I blush even more when I'm just around him! Uggghhh I'm only ten year's old and already having these kind of thoughts and about my own brother!' though that last part didn't really matter to her strangely for some reason...

Hi-shi Gate's

At the Gates you could see 5 figures standing at the marvelous entrance to Hi-shi, gathered around them was the populace of the city. For one of the figures was none of then there leader Iro Mazaki with a scroll in hand. The other figures could be seen as Naruto dressed in his usual attire with Zangetsu strapped to his back. Mito dressed in blue shinobi pant's with blue shinobi sandals, Along with this she wore a sleeveless red T-shirt that had the Uzumaki symbol stitched on the back. She also had her mother's trademark Katana strapped to her hip, but she hadn't yet figured out a name for it since seeing as she heard her brother mumbled a name called Zangetsu when he gazed at his own Weapon she figured she would give her sword a name as well.

Next was Hitomi dressed up in all around black clothes as well as a cloak to shield her identity later on in her trip, Beside her was her Kaa-san Mikoto Uchiha. She had come to see off Hitomi along with Naruto and Mito and to wished them all a safe journey.

Izo cleared his throat before speaking, ''Naruto-san as I said I would have the message of your arrival sent to the Kage of Kumo and he has promised to send an group of his best shinobi to accompany you back to their Village. This scroll here is your proof that you are who you say you are.''he said handing the scroll to Naruto.

Naruto spoke, '''Thank you Damiyo-sama, we really appreciate all that you have done for all of us.''he said gesturing to Hitomi, Mito and Mikoto. Izo just waved off his compliment before getting a serious look in his eyes. ''Also, I will be heading to Konoha today at a later time, so there won't be no need to worry about them for now on.''Izo said gaining looks of gratitude from them all.

Naruto smiled before speaking, ''Thank you and I do hope we see each other gain Iro-sama.''he said in a formal manner.

''To yourself as well Naruto-dono and you to Mito-dono.''he said getting a small blush of embarrassment from mito since she wasn't used to this kind of thing and hid behind Naruto's leg. Naruto smiled at this before nodding at Izo before turning to Mikoto.

He smiled before he was on the receiving end of a bone crushing hug and would down right admit even though he could feel her 'pillows' smooshed against his chest. Mikoto would have surely snapped his spine in half if Zangetsu wasn't in the way. Though he swore he could hear a sound that sounded like a pained groan from inside his head.

He shook his head before returning it, Mito got one as well poor little girl didn't have the same protection...

After this he surprisingly got a peck on the cheek from Mikoto before she whispered a few words into his ear.

''Be safe, Naruto-kun and protect that little angel of sister of yours.''she said before backing away. Though they never saw the jealous glint that appeared in Mito's eyes.

Naruto just gave a cheeky smile before rubbing his head in a oh so familiar manner from a certain red head...

He turned to the last person and his eyes softened before placing a hand on Hitomi's shoulder and giving it a reassuring squeeze, since he had seen the emotions running through her eyes he knew she was very hesitant to leave him and go into the world alone.

''remember Hitomi-chan, you have 'that' way to reach me so when your in danger use it. Don't fret about what I'm doing use it when your in a death-like situation and need the help, alright?''he said gaining a small nod from the woman before she too pecked him on the other cheek before she kneeled down to Mito's level.

''Mito, do me a favor...protect this lump when he gets in over his head, because sometimes he always does and although hes very strong, he will need someone their to help him. Can you do that for me?''she said.

Mito's eyes lit up and smiled, ''Of course I can! Naruto-kun here will always have me to help him when he needs it!''she said pumping her fist into the air. Finishing it off with the ''Dattebayo!''

This struck a cord into naruto that was no Just like his kaa-san would do. She always had a phrase when she promised something and it made his heart warm seeing Mito become more and more like Kushina everyday.

This made Mikoto's eyes glaze over in remembrance, as well remembering her time with Kushina as they grew up and smiled softly at the little red head.

Naruto shook his head before ruffling Mito's head making her face go into the signature pout with the blush as well. Naruto just smirked and waved off before jumping into the forests followed by a grinning Mito as she too waved to the people behind her.

After they had left Hitomi too had given one last hug to her kaa-san, before bowing to the Damiyo then jumping into the forests as well to go on her long journey. After this Iro's eyes narrowed remembering Konoha and snapped his fingers, second later a samurai landed beside him. ''Captain get me4 battalion's of my personal Samurai and 21 battalion of Fire Monk's and 6 of my Elite Fire Guardians we will need them.''he said with a commanding tone as he strolled back through the separating crowd.

The samurai behind his helmet was gaping at what his leader just said and with little hesitance asked, ''If I may be so bold your majesty, but what for? Are we going into battle?''he said a little wary of the answer.

Izo just kept walking as he spoke to his soldier, ''In a way if it comes down to it, then yes we will. But right now we are all heading to Konohagakure and remind them all who is truly the Leader of Hi-no Kuni!''he said before looking at his samurai.

''Now get moving soldier and rally the army!''he said, this got a quick nod from the man before he disappeared in a burst of speed. Izo then turned around and kept walking. As he did so he kept thinking of what he could do.

That's when he grinned, remembering a certain country running low on Mission's as were a few other countries as well...

Hi-no Kuni Border-Entering Kaminari no Kuni Border

They had sped up fast to get to the other border, so this way they could get their as fast as they could. Although naruto could go much faster he was keeping his pace down so Mito could follow him. After all this was her first time out of Konoha or Hi-no Kuni after all.

Right now they were taking a break from jumping through tree, through tree and just started walking to rest for a little bit. As they did so naruto could sense Mito's gaze on him again and sighed while mentally thinking of why she was?

Was it because he wasn't carrying her like he used to? Was it because he wasn't playing with her like he usually did.

Or

His eyes widen dramatically, did she remember the kiss that happened this morning?...

He gulped audibly and wondered if she was mad or at the least confused, because sure as hell he was!

''Naruto-kun?''Mito said

Naruto blinked and looked at Mito, that's when he saw her curious eyes something that he was nervous about for some reason. He gulped before speaking, ''Yes, Mito-chan what is it?''he said gently.

Mito looked a bit hesitant before looking at the ground as she spoke softly, ''W-well I was wondering...could you...carry me like you used to when I was little?''she said cutely

Naruto blinked before chuckling seems he was worried about nothing, ''Sure Mito-chan, just hang on..tight!''he said before appearing behind her shocking her of his speed and grabbing her sides and lifting her till she was on his shoulder with her hands on his head. She blinked as she realized how fast he did that. She secretly wished she was that fast as well...

but she shrugged before she circled her arms around his head laying her head in his soft and yet somehow mane-like hair. She fingered with a few strands of spiky hair jutting from his head, she always liked how Naruto had spiky hair it made him more defined in her opinion more Unique if she had to say. Though she can't remember the last time she was on his shoulders like this. She mentally thought about it and remembered it during the time when she was just a toddler, she had just gotten out of her first day in the academy and when some bullies and their parents came to hurt her.

Naruto came upon them scene and she remembered that day for the rest of her life. He was like a force to be reckoned with a god that had been angered, she watched strangely when he decimated and beat the parents into a bloody pulp before threatening the kids before ordering them to drags their sorry excuses for parents away before they die.

That's when she had cried in his arms before he soothed her and gave her a ride on his shoulders that day. That was also the day she decided her favorite spot in the world was on his shoulder's watching the sun go down.

She shook her head of the thoughts when another thought came to her attention and decided to speak, ''A-ano...Naruto-kun?''she said.

Naruto who at the moment was focusing on the road and let Mito play with his hair 'hummed' a response signaling he was listening to her.

''Well, I was wondering well more like always been curious of something...''she said, making Naruto wonder what she was thinking about.

''Yes, what is it?''he said

''Well, ever since you went off to fight Ia and came back I've always been curious about your weapon. Its nothing like anything I've ever seen before or read about in Kaa-san's journals about all sword's classes. Your's is not classified in any of them and only comes close to the class category of one of The Legendary Seven Swordsman's weapons and its called the Kubikiribōchō (The "Decapitating Carving Knife") wielded by Momochi Zabuza.''she said

naruto raised an eyebrow in surprise, One for her being the first besides Yugao that has ever asked about his weapon and was curious as to what it was, and two of Mito's information on weaponry with swords. He mentally cried anime tears and praising Mito saying 'She is the number one student any teacher would give their left leg for!', he smiled before speaking, ''Wow, good job Mito-chan you really did your homework and yes your correct my weapon is close in category to that weapon, and like his its sentiment, but its much different then the blade itself.''he said.

Mito being the curious girl she was, ''Like what? And what do you mean by sentiment?''she said with a adorable thoughtful expression on her face. Naruto just smiled and answered her. ''Nah, more like the blade has a mind of its own if you will and has its very own name, but I'm sure you already know that when you eavesdrop on me, when you think I don't know it''he said with a shit eating grin.

This made her blush knowing she was caught on that one, so she closed her eyes sticked out her tongue and bomped her head a little. If Naruto had seen that though he would have swore that is was probably the cutest thing he ever saw...

''Though, My swords name...is Zangetsu...he is my partner in battle...we fight as one...we know each others abilities...and weaknesses...We fight as one...and...die as one...''he said, speaking the words he knew from his year's of training with his inner spirit.

This made Mito stare at Naruto in awe...to think he cared so much for his weapon like that. Yeah, she loved her weapon to death, but the words naruto spoke...they made her feel a tremor go through her body that held so much power...and wisdom that it actually made her feel so small in comparison. She looked at her weapon and tightened her grip on the handle making a silent promise to be more in touch with her katana then just using it as a weapon...

Unknown to the both of them except a certain Goddess Mito's Katana glowed a bright red...

That's when naruto's trained senses picked up rustling of leafs and the sound of footsteps hitting treetops. So he unnoticeably shifted until he was in a position to defend himself.

''So...your Naruto...Konoha's Ex-Anbu-Soutaicho...or...should I say...'Shinigami?' ''Said a voice from within the forest.

Naruto tensed himself, for some reason whoever this person was...he was... strong he could feel it. And with Mito with him he couldn't go all out. He could feel her nervous and shaking body, He knew she was scared after all the training he put her through this was the first time she was ever in this kind of Situation. He relaxed himself as he calmed his breathing...

That's when he felt that itch in the back of his mind get stronger...much stronger then it usually was...

He grabbed his head in pain as he looked around the area for the enemy. That's when he saw the flash of movement, if only barely before drawing Zangetsu...

CLANG!

Steel met steel, the sparks flew as the ground cracked under the pressure. Naruto then jumping back from where he was, before looking to make sure Mito was ok. When he saw her quivering his mind snapped at attention to end this quick. So when he looked back to see his opponent wasn't he in shock to see...

A man that wore something striking similar to what he first wore when he became Megami's Avatar. He looked at the man's all around appearance and see's the clothing more of a opposite to his, it was white on the outside with it black on the inside. He also wore black socks with waraji. He then looks at the mans face only to see a white helmet...thing on the left side of his head. It had what looked like a horn and oddly shaped grooves going down the bottom. When he looked at the mans eyes he saw green eyes with cat slit pupil's. He also saw that his skin was a pale color, deathly pale, but the man didn't look sick at all. Hell the man didn't show a single emotion on his face!

That's when he saw the teal lines descend from his eyes, he also had messy black hair and a thin yet muscular frame. He looked to see the man holding out what looked to be a katana, it was the normal length of any other Katana and it had a green handle and white guard. But he knew never to judge a book by its cover and could actually feel the power coming of both this strange man and his Katana. He warily unveiled his Zanpakuto.

Now he spoke,''Now, excuse me, but...who are you...and what do you want with me..''naruto said with a certain edge at his tone. The man just looked on at him impassively before closing his eyes, ''Why I'm here isn't important for you will not survive till today...''he said before disappearing with a static left where he stood.

Naruto only had a split second to reflexively shunpo or Mito would have been slashed by that mans attack. He looked at Mito's now trembling body and knew he had to end this quick. He glared at the man as his eyes took on a bright blue. Zangetsu started to tremble in his hands since he hadn't had a good fight for a long time.

He then stretched out his senses and to his relief felt four strong chakra signatures coming his way, but they weren't as strong his though, but the last one though had bigger reserves then anyone except for mito...

he cut out of his musing's when he had to dodge yet again, from the mans attack before putting Zangetsu infront of him blocking another attacking. But the pressure from the mans swing added with the mans strength alone! Made a crater where he stood, Naruto trembled using everything he had to push the man back before he swung at him which to normal speeds looked like a blur...

But to the man it seemed in slow motion and just bent his back dodging the swing! Naruto was frowning now he couldn't fight at full strength if Mito was with him...she would get hurt!

He could only pray those chakra signatures were who he thinks they are, he looked at the man as he lowered Zangetsu just a bit, but still at the ready to defend once again.

''Let me ask this at least, What is your name?'' naruto said still hearing the whimpers coming from Mito's quivering body.

The man just closed his eyes once more like he was in thought before speaking, ''My name...I don't see how it is important to someone who is about to die, but I shall at least give you that much information before I strike you down...My name is Ulquiorra Cifer, and I am the person that will end your existence from this world.''he said.

Naruto just narrowed his eyes as his reiatsu started coming off him forming a protective field around Mito as well as signaling those shinobi to hurry up. He looked at the newly revealed Ulquiorra and growled, ''Very well, my name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, and I doubt you will kill me''he said hoping to at least buy sometime.

Kami's Realm

Megami was scowling at the predicament that was happening with her Avatar, she honestly didn't expect for them to find him so soon, and right now she knew naruto wasn't strong enough to handle this person, well not with Mito with him...

For this was a battle between beings not of that realm anymore, and she knew Naruto was holding back much more since Mito was with him. When she looked at Kami she also saw her frowning at the predicament Naruto was in. She knew who this man was and knew where he came from. The man was one of a few that served under that man. The one who thinks he can cross into God's and Goddesses territory...

The fool...

he will get his soon enough...

When she shook her head of the thoughts and looked back at the fighting she could see Naruto reacting as fast as he could holding back the man. She knew why he was buying time, the Kumo shinobi that was assigned to take them to kumo would be able to at least take Mito away from harms way.

Thats when the true battle would begin...

Back with Naruto

Ulquiorra just shook his head before appearing beside naruto bringing down his sword, reacting quickly Naruto brought Zangetsu up and blocked the strike and then thrusting his left hand into the mans stomach releasing a burst of Spiritual energy he called out ''Hadō #1. Shō (Thrust)''he stated making Ulquiorra fly back a few feet smashing into a few tree's.

Naruto then quickly checked on Mito and saw her scared and was in a shocked-induced fear state. He quickly shook her out of her stupor till she looked at Naruto's face. He stated seriously yet softly as to not make her worried. ''Mito-chan, I sense the Kumo shinobi on their way and I know I always told you to never use unless absolutely necessary, but I need you to use Kyuubi's chakra and use all your speed to get to their location while I fight this man. Can you do this?''he said

Mito was about to answer him until she saw Ulquiorra behind naruto she widened her eyes as the man brought his katana down at naruto's body. She was about to scream for him to get out of the way, until she watched in a flash of steel.

Naruto blocked the attack with Zangetsu...

He looked back at her only for him to sigh in relief, when he see's four figures jump from the tree's. He quickly acts and grabs Mito and her Katana and appears infront of the group shocking them all.

He quickly scans them over and see's the youngest looking from them all being a boy with short spiky white hair. He was dark-skinned and had dark eyes with lines curving upwards. He wears a dark Kumo ninja attire with a overlong shirt with a hood, he had red bandage arm guards and Kumogakure shin guards, finishing his attire was a black clothes Kumogakure headband tied around his forehead.

The next one was a spiky haired red haired woman with her hair going past her shoulders. She too was dark-skinned and had piercing amber eyes. She wore long short sleeved dress as her ninja attire. Completing this was Kumogakure flak jacket , two simple earrings, boots with white soles and lastly wears her Kumogakure headband like a bandana. She also carried a long sword strapped to her back.

The next one was a tall woman almost as tall as he was, she had short blonde hair with an asymmetrical cut, which was shorter in the back and longer in the front, blue eyes that almost had the same shade as his own, she also had the body that rivaled Tsunade of the Sennin. She wore a very low cut outfit with mesh armor underneath, a short skirt and red hand guards, high boots and what appears to be a modified Kumogakure flak jacket that covers her stomach only, she also apparently has a sword strapped horizontally to her lower back.

The finally person was a woman with long light blonde hair that went down her lower back, she had it tied in a big ponytail as well. She wore a Kumogakure headband tied around her forehead, she also wore the standard kumo anbu uniform with the black pant's and shirt tight against her body. She also had a Kunai punch on her left thigh and wore fingerless purple gloves.

When naruto was quickly done analyzing them he fished out a the scroll given to him by Izo and spoke, ''Look, I know why your here and I can honestly say I'm so relieved you are please I need you to take Mito with you from a far enough distance this scroll here will identify me and her the ones you are supposed to meet up with. I don't have time to explain so just go!''he said although trembling gently placed Mito in the arms of the long blonde haired one and handed the scroll to the short blonde haired one, after this he gave them a glare that would freeze hell itself.

''And also protect her with your life!''he said before he twirled around blocking the a strike that was about to slice him through the middle. He quickly roundhouse kicked the guy and chased after him, ignoring the desperate and worried cry from Mito, it sadden and broke him that he left her with them, but he trusted the Raikage's subordinates to defend her. And he didn't want her seeing him fight like he was about to now...

With the Kumo shinobi they just stood shocked still while Mito was struggling in the hold of the long blonde haired woman who looked deep in thought at the moment.

The dark-skinned boy was nervously looking at where Naruto stood before looking at his shocked teammates and spoke, ''W-was...t-that...''he said.

''yes, that was no doubt the very same man that left Konoha and marked as a missing-nin in their book and was also the very same man...that is marked as one of the most dangerous shinobi in the world. Now I know why raikage-sama was so serious about this secure and retrieve mission.''said Samui

Karui just kept looking on where the man jumped off into, she didn't even see the man block that strike from the mysterious attacker, but whoever it was to get an Ex-Anbu-sotaicho worried must be one strong person...

If only she knew how right she was...

Within Yugito's mind she was having a mental conversation with her tenant.

'Nibi, there was something wrong I sensed a different energy being used around here, would you know what this is?' she asked the oddly silent Nibi

Said Two-tailed Bijuu was replaying what she had just seen and knew directly since her powers were connected to the Goddess of Death Megami that the man they had just seen was someone she had blessed in some way...she just didn't know what! She just answered Yugito's question with a simple answer,

'Just watch kitten, if I'm right about my assumption your about to see something amazing and completely out of this world.''said the Nibi ending it with her usual purr. This made Yugito blink in surprise was that man really that strong?

As if reading her thoughts 'Yes kitten, he is much more then he appears to be, Hell the one your holding is nothing but a child yet I can smell my big sister Kyuubi in her.'

This got a wide eyed look from her she then glanced down to see the still struggling Mito in her arm's, she then pat the girl on the head, this made the girl snap her gaze up at her, ''Please let me go, I need to go help naruto-kun!''she said, Yugito raised an eyebrow at her worried tone and looked at her teammates.

''What do you guys think? Should we go help him, or stay out of his way, and let him handle it?''she said, this got exchanged looks from the others before Samui decided.

''We can't interfere in a fight like this, for some reason I have a feeling it's gonna be go beyond our level, but that doesn't mean we can't go watch and make sure he doesn't need help after the fight is over.''she said with her eyes glancing back at the forest that by now had powerful shockwaves shaking the area.

Karui and Omoi looked at each other and shrugged before nodding as well...

''Very well then lets go and see if the truth of this man's strength is whats said to be true.''said Yugito with a little excitement in her voice. Nibi sensed this and giggled perversely,

'You just wanna soak up that hunk of man's body and have fantasies of riding him till you ho-'

'NIBI!' Mentally screamed a blushing Yugito, Nibi just giggled at her containers reaction and knew the now best way to tease her.

''Then lets go!''said Samui with that the four with a worried to death mito in the arms of Yugito rushed off to at least try and help naruto with his current opponent.

10 Minutes ago with Naruto and Ulquiorra

Naruto appeared out of thin air to see the man dusting of his clothes as he stood there like he wasn't even affected from the last hit. Naruto frowned before speaking, ''I don't know what you have against me, but you have asked for a fight you certainly will not want again...that is...if you survive this first encounter.''he said before appearing behind the slightly shocked Ulquiorra, That's when Naruto tried to stab him.

But Ulquiorra reacted faster and in-turn blocked the blunt with his katana, Naruto then spun the other way and backhanded the man across the face making him skid a few feet back.

While Ulquiorra was apparently trying to regain his bearing's Naruto was conversing with Zangetsu.

'Zangetsu-san, we need to think up a plan, I know this guy has more power then he truly shows, but then again so do we. But I must conserve and not show my true power yet'

'Hmm, lets see how he fights play it out a little longer, and if he gets serious so shall we, till then try and find out how he fights. Till then naruto I'm gonna go try and block whatever is trying to get out' said Zangetsu before he faded into the back of his mind.

Naruto mentally nodded before looking at Ulquiorra who just blinked and looked back at him with curious eyes.

And in a split second they both disappeared leaving shockwaves blowing in the area. Each clash of the blades created a crater, each hit left tree's crushed or the ground flattened. Each time they collided they made the forests and ground itself uproot.

Ulquiorra appeared behind Naruto as they were in the air and aimed his index finger at him and calmly stated, 'Bala' he stated before a shot of a shaped bullet hurtled toward at Naruto, though he calmly showed the back of his hand and stated 'Bakudō # 8. Seki (Repulse) ' that's when a orb the size of Naruto's head grew and blew back the bala at Ulquiorra.

Though he only swatted the bala away before, appearing above Naruto sword drawn about to decapitate him. Naruto ducked under the blow and swung Zangetsu upward only for him to miss. He quickly shunpoed before Ulquiorra crushed the ground he was at under his foot. Naruto then quickly leaned his head to the right before a katana appeared a second later. He reacted quickly Grabbing the offending arm then kicked the now revealed Ulquiorra, this kick made the man crash into a couple of tree's as well as create a trench in the ground.

''Hm, looks like adding physical energy with my attacks does more damage.''he said mumbled before he jumped back before Ulquiorra appeared once more. They stared down one another brandishing their weapons at each other, that's when Ulquiorra closed his eyes once more before speaking.

''You, are...most definitely...a...curious one''he muttered before disappearing faster then before, Naruto widened his eyes. That's when a slash made its way across his chest appeared, blood spurt out as Ulquiorra appeared behind him, holding his Katana with a thin line of blood dripping from the end. He looked over his shoulder and said, ''Show...show me why...You are called The Reaper...The living God of Death...''he muttered, before he kicked Naruto in the back making Naruto fly unnaturally fast hitting tree's before crashing into the ground making a crater.

Ulquiorra appeared above naruto and before naruto could make a comeback, Ulquiorra raised his index finger pointing straight at him and said, 'Cero' before a green shaped attack shot out. It went toward naruto's prone form.

Naruto's eyes widened and shunpoed away from the area, good thing to before an atomic explosion erupted from where he last was. Naruto appeared a few yards away with a shredded attire and bleeding profusely from the chest and arm.

'If I was a second late I would have been killed, and He's moving much faster then before, add in the fact he using something similar to Shunpo, makes it all the harder for me...I guess there's no reason to hold back anymore...'he mentally thought before jumping away from where he stood, that's when Ulquiorra appeared.

''I see,your much faster...then you were before. I guess I'll get serious then...''Naruto said and with that he stabbed Zangetsu into the ground and crossed his arms over his chest. That's when a blue spiritual hue of energy started surrounding him. Ulquiorra raised a slightly curious eyebrow.

'Wonder what he plans to do now...' he thought as the wind start circling around Naruto and the tree's started swaying back and forth, and that's when The Kumo shinobi appeared a short ways from the battlefield.

Present-With The Kumo Shinobi

''Holy shit!, did you see that? That Naruto guy and the bucket wearing dude are fast!And that explosion, I bet even the neighboring countries felt that!'' said a nervous Omoi. Karui just nodded dumbly with a silent agreement appeared in the eyes of Samui and Yugito, as they were mentally shocked at the speed and power that was happening infront of them.

They had just gotten there when they were blew back from a shockwave of wind as the two titan's clashed. They had gotten themselves situated around a few tree's so they could watch without being in Naruto's way...or close to being killed.

Though Mito had watched the battle with awe and shock. Never had she known that Naruto since he had raised her showed such power before and the techniques he used wasn't like Ninjutsu, but it was similar in a way. She had watched him fully utilize Zangetsu as him and the man fought at speeds that weren't meant for humans, and couldn't even comprehend.

That's when she saw naruto's hurt form, she was starting to tear up while watching his blood run down his injured body. That is until she saw his action of stabbing Zangetsu into the ground and placing himself in that stance. That's when she heard kyuubi's voice,

'Mito-chan, what your seeing now...is something Naruto has kept from the world for as long as you were born. No one knows of what he really is except me and I'm taking a wild guess that my little sister Nibi does as well' said Kyuubi, she was watching from outside Mito's the battle that was taking on, and couldn't be more shocked. She knew Naruto was strong and faster then even his father...

But at the speeds he was going at now just made all the speed he showed to Mito look slow in comparison!

Mito heard what Kyuubi said and was curious of what she meant, Naruto was hiding something? Sure she always wondered about Naruto and knew he was holding something back, but she didn't know what it exactly was.

As if knowing her thoughts, 'Your about to find out what it exactly was Naruto had been keeping secret from everyone if only a small bit, but you will see...Naruto's true power being used...I don't want you to even blink I will channel chakra to your eyes so this way you will be able to watch the fight since I'm sure...its gonna go beyond mortal measures.' Kyuubi said, before a small amount her chakra channeled into Mito's eyes. They changed from the violet orbs to a crimson with a black slit in the middle.

The same secretly happened with Yugito as she too wanted to watch was gonna happen...

They all unintentionally got ready, but for what...they didn't know, but knew somehow...it was gonna be big...

Very big...

With Naruto and Ulquiorra

The spiritual blue energy outlining Naruto's body was getting more wild and chaotic, it had tendrils, for the energy lashing out smacking the ground cracking it or tearing tree's. Though No one could still see any difference in his stance, they could see a slight curious expression on Ulquiorra's face. It had been only 3 minutes since Naruto entered the stance, but it felt like an eternity to everyone their. The shaking of the area got worse. Cracks and tremors appeared in the ground, the tree's grew uprooted while the energy around Naruto got even worse.

Ulquiorra though was taking all this in stride and knew even though he didn't show any kind of emotion, he was a bit curious and a small amount of excitement rush through his body.

Kami's Realm

''So...he's gonna release it? Bout damn time that thing has been on him for so long!''said Megami.

''Yeah, but what is it exactly? Only you know what it is since you are the only being connected to his power in this dimension. So do you have idea what hes gonna do?''said Kami as she watched on with a interested face.

Megami only grinned which unnerved Kami a bit before she spoke, ''Naruto-kun has found something was only limiting his power, which mean's he found the 'limiter' I put on him so he wouldn't alarm others that are spiritually aware and wouldn't go out to find him, like a certain group we know of. Anyway he only found a temporary way to release the limiter, but even that is enough to help turn the tides of this battle. Even now with Naruto's current skill he won't match up to that man so he will need to fight seriously if hes gonna have a chance to beat him.''said Megami with a serious look on her face.

Kami's eyes widened at this and stared at the scene they were watching with anxiety mixed with anticipation, she spoke while doing this. ''And your happy about him temporary taking it off, why?''she said.

Megami only grinned much more then before as she stared lovingly at Naruto's form, ''For this way you my sister will see the power he has been holding back, even when he used Bankai even then I'll admit it was impressive for my avatar to reach such a stage the power behind it along with his true abilities and...True appearance were locked away into this limiter.''she said with a slight regret in the tone.

Kami snapped her neck looking at her sister way and spoke, ''What do you mean? All the power hes been using now is only a scratch to whats been sealed? And what do you mean his appearance? Megami...what has the limiter actually sealed away from him?''she said a bit nervous at the end.

Megami just gave her a sideway glance before looking back at Naruto's form, ''That limiter,was my strongest one Kami-chan... but it did something unexpected it sealed much more then it was supposed to. You see the power and speed hes been using at this moment was his alone from the Physical human body, all the training hes done in speed and my techniques was only part of his power. What you have seen is only a scratch on the surface of what naruto really is. As for appearance well...''she said this with a grin coming up her face and slight pink blush coming up as well.

This made Kami gape in surprise, naruto was only fighting with Human limits, He fought this man at set limits for Human's. That's when her eyes grew as wide as they possibly could, if that was true...how powerful was naruto when he temporary removed the Limiter? That's when she saw the pink blush on Megami's face and remembered it also sealed part of his appearance as well, and from what she knew megami never blushed.

Well except when they saw naruto's first time reaching Bankai...

That will be forever ingrained in her mind for the rest of her immortal days...

She only had one more question, ''Um, what will happen when he does release it?''said kami

megami just closed her eyes and spoke, ''When the Limiter gets released naruto's true abilities come out, his power,speed, hell even his spiritual energy will dramatically increase dramatically. This though will only be enough to at least bring out a draw between them.''she said.

Kami only nodded before looking at Naruto's now glowing form in wonder...

With Naruto & Ulquiorra

Ulquiorra now stood still waiting for what his opponent was doing, even now he could feel the rise of his spiritual energy, and his reiatsu was going going up higher as well. Though he did feel a bit of fluctuating irregularly. That's when he was shaken out of his thoughts when Naruto uncrossed his arm's to unveil his pure concentrated face.

Ulquiorra saw the look in his eyes when he did this, and it inwardly surprised him. Naruto's eyes were nothing more then bright blue nothing more then that you couldn't see a pupil, iris anything except a bright blue of where his eyes used to be. That's when he knew Naruto was ready to unleash whatever it was, so he got ready keeping his sword straight and gazing down on his opponent.

Naruto was gritting his teeth while focusing as hard as he could, That's when he felt it. He shot his arms out to his sides and yelled, ''Limiter Kai!'' he yelled before he erupted in a flash of light, this temporary blinded Ulquiorra as well as the audience. But that didn't mess with their hearing so when they heard a explosion of Gigantic proportions erupt from where naruto stood it shook them to the core.

Hell every village from Lightning Country to Hi-no Kuni could see the bright light...

the sky itself was lit up by the explosion. The clouds parted or disappeared from the bright light. Though someone could hear the distant voice of a girl,

Mito before the explosion saw the light erupt from naruto and yelled as it took him in, ''Naruto-kun!''she said before the light blinded them all...

When the light started dissipating Ulquiorra was the first one to see what happened afterwards. He was infront of a Giant crater beneath his feet. When he raised his head to look for Naruto he see's smoke covering where he stood although he could see it already clearing up. So when everyone was able to get their sight back weren't they all in shock when the smoke fully cleared showing a different Naruto.

The figured showed the same height Naruto was just a few inches taller making him 5'9. He wore the Shinigami attire except a few key pieces for one instead of socks or waraji for footwear were Black Anbu Boot's, upper torso was also showed his muscular chest and sick-pack. He had mesh over this finishing the customized design was a black haiori with tear's end at the bottom, across his chest was a red rosary strap.

He also changed physically his hair had grown noticeably longer and less spiky, more of a tamed. The spikes fell down with it almost covering his eyes, it also reached past his neckline and to the shoulder blades. His eyes changed from the vibrant sapphire they were to a Icy blue that showed a Maelstrom of power within that no one could control. His facial features were more defined with his face more angular and eye more narrow like that of his father.

His arm's now visible showed rock hard muscles that were covered from his former attire. Lastly in his right hand was Zangetsu glowing bright blue.

Ulquiorra's eyes were now wide in shock now his suspicions were confirmed, This man...was a shinigami...

Second Later he had blocked a strike from Naruto pushing him a few feet. That's when he saw the ferocity in his eyes knowing the man was gonna try and end it quickly. He pushed back and they separated. Naruto then quickly threw Zangetsu up before grabbing the end of the bandage, and with the shock of Ulquiorra was actually spinning the weapon at fast speeds. If that wasn't enough Naruto was much faster then he was before.

So with he used 'Sonido' and Naruto using 'Shunpo' That's when the battle began.

CLANG!

Steel met steel once more, Naruto appeared above Ulquiorra and swung Zangetsu almost slicing the mans right arm off. If it wasn't for the man blocking the attack with his own katana. They disappeared once more before Ulquiorra appeared in the air above the now appearing Naruto and said, ''Cero'' before a the green blast of spiritual energy blasted headed its way to naruto.

Naruto turned in time and raised his right arm and stated ''Hadō #33 Sōkatsui (Blue Fire, Crash Down)'' he said blasting a blue spiritual energy attack counteracting the Cero. This resulted in a massive explosion in the air, making the two Opponents fly back a bit.

With that Naruto appeared out of the smoke, he spinned around blocking a slash at his back, before gathered his spiritual energy into Zangetsu and pushing harder. This resulted in a visible blue blade-like attack coming off Zangetsu heading for him. Ulquiorra though cut down the attack only for him to be get grabbed by the head and slammed into the ground making a crater.

Naruto inwardly didn't use such vicious tactics, but had to beat this person quickly. That's when he was punched in the stomach before back-handed away from where he stood. When he tried to stand up he was slammed back down from Ulquiorra's foot.

When he looked up his eyes widened, Ulquiorra didn't have a scratch on him! He quickly shunpoed before where he laid was Ulquiorra's foot and a small crater. When he appeared a few yards away from Ulquiorra he got in stance and disappeared, then reappeared infront of Ulquiorra then his swung downward which Ulquiorra blocked once again.

Naruto then pulled back spinned Zangetsu again before letting it go at fast speeds at Ulquiorra where if the pale man didn't dodge it, he would have been stabbed through the chest. After this Ulquiorra appeared infront of Naruto and tried to swing his sword down...

Only for his wrist to be stopped by naruto's hand and having Naruto's other hand placed infront of his face, he then stated ''Eat this, ''Hadō #63. Raikōhō(Thunder Roar Sear)'' Naruto said, That's when yellow electrical and spiritual energy gathered at the base of naruto's palm and released it into Ulquiorra's face...

With the Kumo Shinobi

''Sweet kami,...this...is unreal...''said Karui, as her eyes were wide glued on the fight before them she had long since given up trying to catch up when they vanished and appeared somewhere else in the area. She only keeps her attention on when their visible, even then she sees them do things that are either strange to her or down right impossible. I mean when do you see someone be that fast? Or not die from the hits either were getting?

Omoi just sucked on his sucker nervously, ''if they keep fighting like this then they'll get attention from neighboring villages and that will lead to the Damiyo knowing then he'll spread the news to the other damiyo's, then-''he said, but was cut off when karui punched him in the head, ''Baka! Don't over exaggerate everything!''she said.

Samui though was keeping her sharp keen blue eyes on the battle before her, She knew the man they were told to meet up with was strong hell stronger then a kage, but what she was seeing now blew that out of proportions...

Even an army of kage's wouldn't match up to this...

The speed used surpassed the rumors she heard about the Legendary Hiraishin no Jutsu, the strength surpassed of Tsunade of the Sennin's own and the techniques looked to be stronger then any Ninjutsu used before, even if they were strange...

Yugito and Mito with both their tenants were completely shocked, The speed, power and abilities both used were otherworldly. It was never recorded in history that someone had used those kind of abilities. But the change to naruto was a big shock to Mito she always remembered her brother's appearance through and through, but now he looked different, he looked almost like their Tou-san.

But...Naruto was different, he wasn't the fun-loving joking brother she knew. He was now a deadly warrior using tactics that would kill a normal human in a second. A shinobi though would survive some hits, but even the toughest of them all wouldn't last that long in this kind of fight.

'You got that right, what your seeing now is a fight that surpasses mortal understanding. Yes, some human's might survive some hit's, but that's to an extent. Mito-chan, what your seeing now is another side of naruto. Something you weren't meant to see yet, This is the side of him when he's deadly serious about something.' Kyuubi said.

Mito kept her eyes fully on naruto and remembered her words, and could see it was true. Naruto was very different then before, he was always looking for a vital area to attack and end his opponent and if the pale man hadn't blocked the attacks she was sure the man would have died long ago.

She only hoped that Naruto made it out okay...

Kami's Realm

In the realm of Kami, the two goddess couldn't take their eyes of the fight even if the two were moving slow in their eyes. It was an interesting battle, Megami's Avatar against a Being as Ulquiorra. It showed the full development of Naruto's abilities and skill with using Megami's very own power.

Though Kami and Megami blushed a real dark shade of red when they saw his transformation. And mentally agreed on one thing...

Naruto had a body built for a God the way he was going now!

Megami spoke while watching her Avatar, ''That's what happens when he releases the Limiter if only for a little bit, His true capabilities with being my Avatar comes out, This is basically the true Naruto kami-chan, everything that was part Shinigami was sealed except for the minor things. The power behind most of his attacks before were locked away.''she said pulling

Kami just looked at her before looking at Naruto, she honestly would express naruto interested her badly, ''I see...by curiousty though...has he ever released Bankai in this state?''she said. Megami just looked at her with cold eyes which unnerved her a bit...

''No, and if he does...let's hope it doesn't come to that...''she said in a tone of finality and...sadness?

Kami just blinked before looking back at the fight, slightly praying she could meet Naruto herself one day...

Back with Naruto & Ulquiorra

This resulted in blowing the man back into the demolished forests. Naruto breathed out a sigh and placing Zangetsu on his shoulders holding the handle with his right hand, ''Well I think that did it...''he said, with that he turned around and began to walk away.

''Where...do you think your going?''said a voice.

Naruto looked back only to get blasted by a Supercharged Cero blasting him into the forests before it resulted in a nuclear explosion. This rocked the shook the whole area and pretty sure half a 5 mile radius.

Mito's eyes widen in shock when this happened, but before she could say anything,

'Don't worry Mito-chan...I can sense Naruto-kun is ok, no need to worry...'

This made her slightly relaxed, but couldn't help but be worried for Naruto.

Back in the destroyed Crater, Ulquiorra appeared atop it looking down in the smoking middle, There lay Naruto's struggling form. Naruto had at the last second shielded himself by surrounding himself in a shell of condensed Spiritual energy, but even then he had numerous injuries. Two broken rib's, he could feel that, A nasty burn on his back three bloody gashes among his chest from when he landed. And Lastly his face had blood dripping down from his head and over his face.

Naruto struggled himself, before he heard Ulquiorra speak. ''I see, this is your limit...I expected more from you, but I guess...my expectations for you were to high. But know this...when you die...so to...will your...sibling...''after that was said, naruto's mind snapped at attention and stood up ignoring the pain in his body.

He glared into the green slitted eyes of his opponent, ''Don;t you fucking dare touch her!''Naruto said, Ulquiorra only shook his head before speaking, ''You are in no position, to tell me what to do, now lie down and die, like the filthy human you are...''he said in a monotone voice. With that Ulquiorra turned away and was walking away.

Naruto glared at the ground thinking on what he could do, before he remembered the one thing he could do...

'That's a last resort, but what other choice do I have? But can I even achieve it with the limiter off? Though I don't have a choice in the matter, Zangetsu you ready partner?'he mentally thought

'Always Naruto, but be ready the thing within your mind I've been trying to hold back may find this as a chance to come out when you use this form. So please do your best to end this quickly..'Zangetsu said through Naruto's inner world.

Naruto nodded faintly before he slowly stood up, before releasing a burst of his Reiatsu. This got the reaction for Ulquiorra turned around with a curious expression on his face. ''Well it would seem you have a bit more fight left in you...Then let us see what you can do...Foolish Shinigami.''he said at the end.

Naruto just looked down at the ground his hair shadowing his eyes. He raised his right hand holding Zangetsu and swung it to his forefront and placed his left hand onto his right forearm. This action made Ulquiorra a bit more curious as to what the man was gonna do.

That's when Blue spiritual energy started coming off Naruto, the flowing end of Naruto's Zangetsu started to swirl around his right arm, before it completely wrapped around his arm and the ground around him cracked. When naruto raised his head up Ulquiorra saw his eyes changed. They showed a glowing blue in the center with it also outlining his pupil.

Naruto spoke, ''Now I see, you weren't going all out on me...I see now your no human I can tell that much through this whole fight those kind of attacks would kill a person, but you...you don't have a scratch on you, and whether or not you have super hard skin or something I don't care. What I do care about is you trying to hurt Mito-chan...and that's something I won't allow...''he said with a scowl form on his face.

Ulquiorra raised an eyebrow and spoke, ''You speak as if you have a way to stop, but from what I can see your buying time...what is it that you have up your sleeve?''he said.

Naruto just glared at the expressionless man and said, ''I have one way to take you down or at least...a way to make you retreat, Its something I haven't used in a fight before only practice...Plus I never used this form with my limiter off, but you never know until you try.'' Naruto said.

''And what would that be? Whatever is you have though won't save you, I've been toying with you all this time even with your so called Limiter, what is it that could make you even think is strong enough even beat me?''he said with a little curiosity in his tone.

Naruto just grinned weakly as blood came down his head, ''This is what I meant...BAN-...''he said as the wind around them completely stopped and the anticipation of the hidden crowd held in their breath. ''KAI!'' he yelled at the end, Zangetsu then glowed blue hiding the blade itself, blue lightning crackled around the growing spiritual blade, it finally erupted with a blue beam of energy shot off like a beam toward Ulquiorra the man himself only had a little time to dodge the attack, but did get a little cut on his left arm.

His eyes widened when he felt a little blood go down his left arm gripping to the ground, 'He actually broke through my?, This is surprising and did he say Ban-kai? This fight might have gotten a bit more challenging.' Ulquiorra said looking at his bleeding arm.

When he looked at the sight of what the spiritual blade attack did, he saw a catastrophic site, A trench about 5 foot deep and 3 feet in width went on where tree's used to be. It stretched on for miles and was pretty sure, it would scar the land itself. When he looked back a blue explosion of spiritual energy erupted like a volcano and it reached far into the sky.

The sight could even be seen from the oncoming Raikage and his brother Killer Bee...

The light lit up the sky illuminating it for miles upon miles...

The Kumo Shinobi had to hold onto where they stood for the shockwave almost blew them away. They had watched one minute naruto was getting beat, then saying a word then this...

Though within Yugito and Mito Nibi and Kyuubi were in stunned silence, and were having thoughts upon what Naruto's few words were before the explosion...

Though one thought came together in both their minds and the shock on their faces appeared.

'Did he say...Ban-kai?' they thought similar regardless of the different mind they were in.

When the light faded all that their was in its place was smoke, but you could tell a figure stood within from its shadowy outline.

Kami's Realm

''He released it, Please...Please Naruto-kun end it...quick!'' she said desperately holding hers hands against her chest. Kami looked at her sister in worry before speaking, ''Megami-chan, whats wrong? Hows him going ban-kai bad?''she said worried for her sister.

Megami just looked at her with tears coming down her face, ''because...there's something within naruto-kun that has been getting stronger, how it has been is by when Naruto's uses his shinigami power the entity which lives within him gets stronger. Now when he just released Bankai he has a good chance of losing control...and that part of him...comes out..''she said as more tears cam down her beautiful face.

Kami just looked at her with worry before bringing her into a hug as they watched what was going on, ''Tell me Megami...what is it that lives within Naruto? Is it that bad you would be so worried about him?''she said.

''Yes kami-chan it is, For you see the being within him is the manifestation of all the hate, rage, regret, Sadness, anger, and blood-thirst that has built up over the year's. Plus it was created even before he grew up, the being I speak of was created from the remaining youki that resided in him from kyuubi-chans attack all those years ago. What I speak of kami-chan...is that Naruto-kun...has a inner hollow...''she said before breaking down in her shocked sister's arms.

With Naruto

Within the dissipating smoke the figure could be seen more clearly. Ulquiorra though felt a small spike of energy he was quite familiar with, but threw it aside for now since he was more curious as to what this living shinigami could do...

When the smoke finally cleared away within the middle of the crater stood a newly transformed Naruto. His former attire did a complete 180. He now wore a tattered cloak over his half revealed upper torso. It was together in the middle of his chest and abs and the flowing ends flowed in the remaining wind. The cloak itself was black on the outside white in the middle and deep crimson red on the inside. He wore the standard Shinigami Hakama with the white belt tied around his waist. There was also what seemed to be like bandages wrapped around the lower end of his abs, and finishing it off was the standard footwear.

He was holding a black katana that was all pure black in sight with the guard being the design of a swastika, the blade was pure black and handle black as well with red diamond shapes within the handle. Ending it was a small chain hanging from the hilt.

''Tensa Zangetsu...'' Naruto said, holding the Zanpakuto in his right hand tightly. Ulquiorra quirks an eyebrow at the newly transformed Naruto and speaks, ''What is this...Is this your...Bankai?''he said with a questioning tone.

Naruto just looks at him before disappearing, and before Ulquiorra could defend himself. He had multiple cuts and slashes appearing among his body cutting his clothes and leaving small cuts on his body where they only bled a little, Naruto appeared behind him and in astonishingly turns around and tries to stabbed the shocked Ulquiorra.

Only for the man to quickly spin around and actually stop the offending blade with one hand. That shocked naruto and before he could do anything he had a hand protruding into his chest. He slowly looked down and saw the pale skin, he looked back up and saw Ulquiorra's surprised yet bored gaze.

''Yes, you are quite strong, I'll admit that, you even broke through my Enhanced Hierro. I'm quite amazed, but I can still go much faster then you...This is your limit...''he said in a bored tone, before he ripped his hand out of Naruto's chest showing a hole...

He coughed up blood before he fell to his knee's. He could believe it...one second...he had used Bankai a second later he used all the strength he could muster to make a decent cut, next thing he knew...he was stopped by from stabbing the man in the back with one hand.

Then he goes and takes stabs him in the chest leaving nothing, but a hole.

'That's because your weak...'

Naruto's eyes widened and looked around as best as he could to look for the voice.

'Who said...that?'

'I did fool, I can see your having trouble, I'm gonna take over for a little while to save your pathetic ass.' And before Naruto could question the voice again he lost consciousness, but the last thing he saw was Mito running at his bleeding body, he could only utter a few words as his eyesight went black,

''Mito...-chan...run...now''he said before the blackness enveloped him...

Mito was at his body in a instant when he lost consciousness, ''Naruto-kun! Wake up! Please...Please wake up!''she said pounding on his chest doing everything she could. That's when she felt a cold chill going down her body and hesitantly looked up to see Ulquiorra's green slitted eyes gazing down on her trembling form.

''You...your his sibling are you not...no matter the case...that boy is dead there will be no bringing him back...''he said, only to get a katana aimed at him from a pissed Mito. Kyuubi's chakra swirling around her changing her features with the whisker marks on her face getting more feral. Her violet orbs going to a crimson with a slit, and claw's growing from her hands. The chakra enveloped around her body and sword as she stood over naruto's 'dead' body while tear's fell from her eyes.

''I'll kill you, for killing Naruto-kun!''she yelled with a half demonic voice. This change made Ulquiorra raise an eyebrow, before catching the lade that would have lopped off his head if it wasn't for his great speed, he shook his head before pushing the blade making her stumble back a bit.

''Do what you want, but like I said there will be no bringing him back...now die'''he said and appeared above Mito's body and she then turned around, she buried her head into Naruto's chest, Time seem to slow as Ulquiorra closed in on Mito, even the now coming Kumo shinobi were slowed down, Mito's emotions ran free and couldn't help, but remember the times when Naruto helped her when she was in trouble, the times when he protected her from the worlds troubles, the times when he was their for her when she needed support.

She freely let the tears fall, she felt so weak...not able to help him when he needed it. When he fought this opponent on his won without anyone to help him, even before there wasn't many people that able to help Naruto, it was always him saving his friends or her. There was no one to help him...

He was alone...

With a desperate cry she let out her despair and anguish, ''NARUTO-KUN!'' she yelled, with her emotions coming to the forefront crying on Naruto's chest.

With Naruto's mind, you could see Naruto's body floating, but a slight twitch to his eyes were enough to whisper, ''Mito-chan...''

Time seemed to revert back to normal and when the offending katana was a mere inch from Mito's head, it was stopped...

By one blood covered hand...

Ulquiorra raised and eyebrow and looked up only for his eyes to widen in shock something that rarely happens.

The Kumo shinobi stopped as well a foot away from them, they stood shocked still seeing right infront of them something that was impossible...

The once thought Dead Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, had his right hand holding back the almost death blow over Mito's head. They couldn't see his face, but knew something was happening, and from the shocked face from the pale man it was either good...

or bad...

Mito waited for the blow to come down on her, only to feel a rush of wind and then nothing...

No pain...

No blood...

No nothing...

'Kit. L-look up...'

She did so slowly and saw that the offending weapon was stopped by blood covered arm, she followed it to see naruto's body, her eyes widened when she saw a scowl on his face.

''I told you, you were weak Naruto Guess I'll have to save you and show you...how to use a Bankai, but first I'm gonna show...this fool what happens when you mess with our loved ones...''said a now grinning Naruto, Mito looked at his face only to be shocked when she saw his now different eyes, the whites were now black and the where the blue was a Evil yellow. She also saw white...particles adding onto the left side of his face covering his left eye.

The now awake 'Naruto' looked in her direction and she saw his eyes soften just a bit, before they locked with Ulquiorra's own shocked ones.

''I'm gonna murder you, for trying to hurt her...prepare to die!''he said before grabbing Mito and pushing her away and stood up, he grabbed Zangetsu still holding onto the Katana. He then grinned an insane grin. He glared into Ulquiorra's eyes and said.

''I hope your ready to die, for you crossed the line trying to kill her!''he said before appearing above Ulquiorra.

'He's faster then before!' the arrancar thought before jumping back. But he felt a hand on his shoulder when he looked back he saw Naruto's face with half of it covered by the 'demonic' mask.

Ulquiorra's eyes widened at the speed, Naruto grinned at him before speaking, ''Take this Getsuga Tensho (Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer)'' he yelled before a black and red aura surrounded the blade, he swung diagonally letting a crescent shaped attack shoot forward at Ulquiorra in high-speeds. The man quickly used Sonido away a few yards from the attack only to be stopped from 'Narutos' hand on his shoulder with his face twisted in a crazy smile.

''Don't blink...HAHAHA!'' he said before unleashing another Getsuga Tensho onto him this cornered him and before he or anyone else knew it. They reached him and exploded in a straight line of black and red.

'Naruto' just grinned as more of the mask appeared on his face, making him even more menacing. He looked around the area and grinned even more, he raised Zangetsu into the air, second later a bleeding Ulquiorra was their with his sword stopped by 'naruto's own. Before he could do anything else Naruto grabbed his arm and swung him down into the ground making yet another crater.

He raised his sword into the air and cackled, ''This was fun and all, but I'm bored so DIE!'' he said with a glee tone.

He quickly brought his sword down, only to hit solid ground. He scowled and looked behind him to see Ulquiorra once more with his chest bleeding much more from the combined Getsuga Tensho, his clothes were torn and bloody.

Naruto cackled and before Ulquiorra had time to catch a break he was slammed into the ground face fist. He felt a foot slammed him into the ground deeper. He looked up as best he could to see 'Narutos' grinning face with Zangetsu in a downward Position aimed at his head.

''I see...how very...hollow-like...you aren't so different from us...after all''he said, Naruto scowled at him and was about to end his life only to feel a pair of arms wrap around his body.

He looked down and saw...

Earlier with Mito

Mito couldn't believe it, first she thought Naruto was dead,but even as the death blow was about to come down on her, now she was seeing him fighting once more, but with a lot more ferocity in each attack...

The way he cackled insanely...

The way he grinned seeing each attack land made his 'Demonic' looking mask and glowing Yellow eyes made her feel scared...

But not as much scared for Naruto's own safety...

This wasn't the loving brother she knew...

This wasn't the Naruto she knew...

She steadily got up, and from ignoring ran to naruto's body standing over the frame of Ulquiorra about to deal a death blow...

Kami's Realm

''Oh no, he's lost control...kami-chan...we need to help him!'' Megami said with tears going down her eyes. Kami just looked at her sadly while thinking up a way to fix the situation, that is until she saw Mito's running form. She looked back at the trajectory and her eyes widened.

''No, Mito...she'll be killed!''she whispered sadly, Megami shot her head up to see Mito a foot away from Naruto, her eyes glowed a ethereal purple before smiling softly.

''No, there is no way Naruto would kill her in normal form or when hes like that. She's to important to him to kill her, he'd rather die then let that happen. But, I think...the only one to be able to bring him back is that girl...''she muttered with her eyes on Mito's form.

A spirit beside Kami was crying tear's watching the scene, she had red silky hair with fair skin, she had violet eyes similar to Mito's own though they were red and puffy from what looked like crying. She wore a long white kimono with no footwear.

This woman was none other than, Kushina Uzumaki, and she was watching the scene in despair.

Kami looked at her sadly bringing her into a hug which the woman melted into it, Kami tried to soothe the womans tears, but she couldn't even stop her own...

They were all worried with what was about to happen...

Back with Naruto

He looked down to see...

Mito, having her arms wrapped around his waist crying into him. He felt his will waver, but scowled and was about to yell at her only to stop when he heard her words,

''Please...Please...Come back Naruto-kun...Come back Please...''she said, but was heard perfectly clear even if her face was buried into his back.

'Naruto' eyed her as more of the white 'demonic' looking mask came upon his face.

''Please...come...back...This isn't you Naruto-kun...come back...COME BACK TO ME, NARUTO-KUN!''She yelled, before falling to her knee's clutching his bloody hakama crying her heart out.

This snapped The real naruto awake within his mind,

'Mito-chans...crying...I have to...wake...UP!'

'naruto' on the outside was about to pull her off when suddenly...

His right hand went to the mask and his yellow eyes widened in horror.

''No...No...you go back! Go back and let me handle this!''he said struggling with Mito's grip still on him, he swung his sword wildly as his right hand was pulling harder and harder on the mask.

'No...its time you went back...and I got back control...' said Naruto using everything he had to gain control back over his body.

''But, can't you see? I can kill him let me do it! Your weak!''he yelled. But the pulling got much more harder,

'I don't care...Mito is crying and I will be by her side...NOW GET BACK IN HERE!' Naruto yelled, this got the resulted action.

The mask was starting to crack, Ulquiorra watched from where he was shocked at what was happening before he used sonido to get a few yards away.

''No!, No! Stay back in! No! No! NOOOOOOOOO!''he yelled before the mask was fully torn off letting the the darkness that covered his face fade into nothingness. Naruto's eyes then changed back to the striking blue, but they showed how tired he was. He was breathing heavily while looking at the white broken pieces of the mask being to fade away...

He scowled at this before he looked tiredly down at Mito's crying form. She probably didn't hear any of this since it was mulled over with her crying. He raised his right arm while his left was holding Zangetsu-in-hand. He then turned around quickly and fell to one knee, but he brought his arm around Mito's surprised form and brought her into his body letting her calm down.

Mito herself was taken back with the back of Naruto's hakama was pulled out of her grasp, but she felt a strong yet warm hand on the back of her head pull her in. She didn't know what it was so had yet to open her eyes, but that was soon washed away when she felt a a muscled chest. She slowly opened her eyes to see bloody torso and torn up black outfit infront of her.

That's when she heard it, His voice,

''Hehe, hey...Mito-chan...why are you crying?''Naruto said weakly, Mito's head shot up to see Naruto's warm and caring eyes she knew staring back into her own violet eyes. Tear's glistened in her violet eyes, Naruto smiled softly at her before raising his head to see Ulquiorra a few yards away from him. With a thoughtful expression on his face.

He scowled darkly at the man, but only to flinch at his wounds, That's when he heard a slight tearing sound and looked back to see Ulquiorra walking into a dark yet misty portal with his back to him. He was about to talk, but was beaten to it.

''You...are stronger then I thought, I am mildly impressed with your skill, but I do hope...the next time we meet...your stronger then this...'' Ulquiorra said, before his body disappeared from sight when the 'portal' closed on him.

Silence then under take the war-torn battlefield. The Kumo shinobi stood their warily before Yugito rushed over to Naruto's body and Mito's crying form in his arm. She stopped a few steps away from them to watch what would happen next.

Naruto then looked down at Mito and hugged her tighter as he fell consciousness about to leave them, he spoke a few words that only she would hear.

''Mito-chan...thank you...you helped me gain control...over myself...thank you...''he said before he started to fall, Mito quickly realized this and tried to hold him back up, but only to fail when he slipped out of her grasp and fall face-first into the ground.

''Naruto-kun!''Mito said, trying her best to wake him, but she suddenly heard two loud crashes a few yards away, but when she looked up she saw two dark-skinned muscled men in different attires, but both had a frown on their face.

She suddenly felt the adrenaline leave her, and felt the drain of using Kyuubi's chakra. She suddenly without warning fell beside Naruto's body. Naruto's body somehow knew this and had his arm wrapped around her, like he was protecting her.

Yugito looked and saw who the new visitors were and gasped, ''Raikage-sama? Killer Bee-sensei!''she said.

'Raikage just grunted before he hefted Naruto's body onto his shoulder. ''We can talk later Yugito, right now we have to get these two back at Kumo and get them medical attention, I'm sure whatever kind of battle happened it will bring attention to many more, and they will be closing in fast.''he said.

Yugito nodded as the one named Killer Bee picked Mito up and carried her in a bridal carry.

Raikage, looked at his subordinates, ''We talk later, now move! We need to hurry back at Kumo!''he ordered before jumping into the forests followed by Killer Bee, before the others followed with thoughts of the battle they had seen.

Kami's Realm

''Oh thank goodness, thank you...thank you Mito-chan, you saved him...''whispered Megami as she watched the whole thing as did Kami and Kushina. They were all shocked at how things went, but smiled at the end when naruto gained control over his body again.

''That's my Musume! She can do anything, even bringing back her strong brother back from where ever his mind was, Dattebane!''she said pumping her fist into the air, this made kami and Megami giggle a bit.

''That's right Kushina-chan, Mito is a very strong individual as are you. Especially when she's sees naruto in danger, she'll jump to defend him when hes at his weakest.''Kami said.

Kushina just grinned, ''Yeah, but could you two start explaining why I've been brought here? Minato still needs to be tortured after whats happened with Mito and naruto.''she said with a sadistic yet angry gleam in her eyes.

They both flinched at that knowing the 'torture' Minato was going through would make even the most evil demons go cry for their mommy, if they agreed on one thing it was Kushina was scary when pissed off...

''Well...'' Kami started...

Konoha's Front Gate

The 'Immortal' Chunin Guards Izumo and Kotetsu were gaping in shock and a little fear.

Why?

Well it couldn't be the Fire Damiyo standing before them with 6 of his Elite Fire Guardian's along with some of his personal army behind him,

could it?

Kotetsu shockingly spoke, ''U-um, Damiyo-sama what are...y-you doing h-here''he said.

Izo just kept glaring at Konoha before speaking, ''I'm here to...give Konoha a 'personal' wake up call...''he said as his men marched through the guards and into Konoha...

End

(A/N: Yeah, I made it shorter,hope that was enough if not then...I'll try making it shorter next chap.

Also what was Ulquiorra doing there? And who is he working for? (cookie to anyone to answer right :3, Also yes, I made the fight long, well I was in the mood for a good fight :D,

Now questions of who the mysterious people kami mentioned in the story, who are these people she talked about? Are they good or evil? Will they become a threat yet another Threat to Naruto?

Also from a few reviews I'm gonna say this right now...I have bad, no horrible grammar I admit this and will probably never get any better, but you know what? I do my best to correct what I can and fix what I see is wrong. Even now I proofread my stories and fix what I can.

Also translation's, I suck at this I really do and need help finding a site that will read the Japanese kanji in either Hiragana, or Kata. If someone would give me directions this would proof most helpful!

That's all I'm gonna say on that,

Till then guys this was Chapter 2 of Naruto :The Missing Anbu Commander!

TDKN- TheDemonKingNaruto is out!
