"Hokage-sama, it appears there has been an attack. We found Danzo-sama dead in his home this morning, his house was damaged heavily inside."
"Do we have any clue as to who did it?"
"All evidence currently points to an assassination by his old ROOT organization."
"I see. Investigate and see what comes up. Report to me if you find anything." Said Minato.
Looks like they pulled it off. Good job guys.

"Lighting style: Wave of destruction!" Yelled Sasuke as a large bolt of lightning shot out of his hands, tearing apart the ground as it made contact.
"Collaboration technique: Typhoon vortex jutsu!" Yelled Naruto as he jumped away from the lightning and formed a clone, the clone then formed a wind style: Rasengan while the real Naruto said "Water style: Tearing Torrent!" as a large wave of water formed in front of him before combining with the Rasengan and turning into a massive cyclone that crashed right through Sasuke's lightning. Right before the attack hit, Sasuke jumped out of the way. He landed and rolled across the ground before he ran through some hand seals and said "Fire style: Grand fireball jutsu!" as a large ball of fire came from his mouth and shot right at Naruto. "Water style: Rasengan!" Said Naruto as he formed a rasengan and jumped head first at the massive fire ball. When the Rasengan hit the fireball it exploded out, sending a massive column of water though the fireball and right at Sasuke. Sasuke ran through some hand seals before shouting "Chidori!" as lightning covered his hand and he ran at the column of water, stabbing the chidori at it. The lightning travelled up the water and into Naruto's body, blowing him backwards and into a tree. He looked up just in time to see Sasuke coming down at him with an axe kick. He quickly rolled to the side, avoiding the the kick, as he launched a punch towards Sasuke's ribs. Sasuke flipped back out of the way and was met with a barrage of punches and kicks coming from Naruto. The two engaged in a taijutsu battle for a few minutes until Sasuke saw an opening and kicked Naruto in the side. The kick slid Naruto back a few feet but he held on tight to Sasuke's leg, as he used the kick's momentum to flip Sasuke and drive him into the ground.
"Dammit I think that kick broke some ribs." Said Naruto as he held his side.
"Yea and I think you broke a few of mine with that body slam." Said Sasuke.
Naruto then coated his hand in green chakra as he started healing his ribs, when he was done he turned to Sasuke and healed his as well.
"Well that was fun. I think I'm gonna go hang out with Sakura a bit now." Said Sasuke as he stood back up.
"So you and Sakura are dating now?" Said Naruto as he also stood up.
"Yea, she's a nice girl once you get to know her."
"Well have fun with that, I may go hang out with Ino-chan myself."
"Seeya" Said Sasuke as both boys walked away.

Naruto continued his walk home until he bumped into Ino. "Hey Ino-chan what's up?"
"I was actually on my way to see you Naru-kun." Said Ino as she smiled a little. "What about you?"
"I was going home to take a shower, then I was gonna come find you."
"Well isn't that convenient. What did you have in mind Naru-kun?"
"I don't know, what do you want to do Ino-chan?"
"How about a picnic?"
"Sounds perfect to me. I'm happy with anything as long as I'm with you." Said Naruto as Ino smiled.
"Aww that was sweet Naru-kun. I love you."
"I love you too Ino-chan. Let's go get ready." He said as they started walking back to his house. When they got there he went to take a shower while Ino gathered some supplies for a picnic. When Naruto got out of the shower he walked down stairs and grabbed in as they disappeared in a flash. They reappeared atop the Hokage mountain. Ino started setting up their picnic while Naruto just sat back and watched. She had just finished when suddenly everything went dark and he found himself in the sewer-like area of the Kyuubi.
"Hello Kit." Said Kurama.
"You know you have a knack for picking bad times to talk right?"
"Yea I guess I do. I just decided that I was ready to talk again."
"I'm listening."
"As I said before, I hate Madara Uchiha, as well as his partners. I told you that if you killed Danzo then I would allow you to use some of my powers. See this will not only help you but me as well. Since I am stuck in this prison, then I can help you and kill Madara through you."
"How exactly can you help me?"
"Have you ever noticed how fast your wounds heal? Well I can make them heal nearly instantly. With my chakra you will gain an affinity for fire style jutsu. You can actually partially release me without us both dying, but for that you would need help. Gyuki's jinchuriki should be able to help you with that. I believe he is a shinobi of Kumogakure. And all I ask of you in return is that you use these powers to kill Madara. What do you say?"
"So I agree to kill Madara and you pump more chakra into me all the time?"
"In a nutshell yes."
"I can do that. If he is behind the attack on the leaf then I will enjoy it."
"Oh, Kit, by the way. If you ever so much as look at me with that damned eye of yours on, I'll eat you." Said the Kyuubi as the sewer faded away into the real world. Ino was just sitting down on the blanket, so Naruto did the same. They ate lunch and sat around for the rest of the day, talking about everything under the sun. They stayed until after they had watched the sun set, and then Naruto walked Ino home. Once they reached her door, he kissed her goodnight and said "Goodnight Ino-chan, I love you."
"I love you too Naru-kun." she said as he disappeared in a red flash. He reappeared back at his house, where he headed up stairs and went to bed.
The next morning Naruto woke up and went down stairs for breakfast like normal. Once they finished eating Naruto said "Dad, how is our village's relationship with Kumo?"
"We are neutral to each other, why?"
"Well, Kurama told me I needed to talk to a Kumo nin about some training."
"Kurama?"
"The Kyuubi."
"You talk to him?"
"Yes, he isn't as bad as everyone thinks. He was forced into the attack on the leaf. That's why he said I should talk to the 8 tails jinchuriki. He wants to kill Madara Uchiha for controlling him."
"8 tails Jinchuriki? Wait… did you say Madara Uchiha?"
"Yes that's what Kurama said. Madara controlled him twice with his sharingan."
"I see. Madara was supposed to have died years ago at the hands of the the 1st Hokage though… Anyways, do you know the name of the 8 tails' jinchuriki?"
"No but let me ask Kurama." Said Naruto as he spoke to Kurama in his mind. "Kurama, can you hear me?"
"Yes Kit I can hear you. I believe they call the jinchuriki Killer Bee."
"Thanks."
"He said that the jinchuriki's name is Killer Bee."
"Oh yea I remember now, the Raikage's brother. I will send a letter to request a meeting. Who knows, maybe it could even lead to an alliance with them."
"Thanks Dad."
"Don't thank me, all I'm doing is writing a letter. Now hurry and get ready, Itachi wants to see you today."
"Alrighty I'll see you in a few minutes!" Said Naruto as he ran off up the stairs wondering what Itachi would want with him.
He finished his shower and got dressed quickly before disappearing in a flash of red light.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"So Itachi are you sure about this?" Asked Minato.
"Yes Hokage-sama, I think it would be for the best. I really don't have any other use for it." Said Itachi.
"I suppose you're right, but still, that would make twice that you have given away one of your family's most powerful eyes."
"Yes you are right, but as I said, I have no need for it."
"If you insist. He should be here any minute."
And right on cue there was a red flash and Naruto stood in front of Minato's desk beside Itachi.
"Hey Dad, Itachi."
"Hello Naruto-kun."
"So my dad said you wanted to speak with me?"
"Yes, I was wondering if you would be interested in having Shishui's other sharingan?"
"I couldn't possibly ask you for that Itachi, you did say it was one of the most powerful eyes in your clan and I already have one of them."
"Don't worry about it Naruto-kun, I have no better use for it than to give it to you."
"I don't know Itachi it just wouldn't feel right to take so much without giving you anything."
"Well, look at it this way; if I give you the eyes, it makes you stronger, and if you are stronger than you can help me stay alive. So I'll trade you the eye for the gift of life, sound fair?"
"Well… I guess I'll take it then." Said Naruto with a small grin.
"Well this is interesting, my son is going to be the first non-Uchiha to have both sharingan eyes." Minato thought.
"Well Naruto, if you're ready we can have Tsunade begin the procedure now." Said Minato.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto sat up in bed and looked around the room with his one good eye, and suddenly felt as if he had been in this situation before, but at the same time it felt different.
Hearing the commotion across the room, Ino woke up in her chair and yelled "Naruto-kun!" as she leapt clear across the room and glomped onto him.
"Ino-chan… what happened?"
"You had another surgery Naru-kun. Lady Tsunade says it went well again and you should…" Said Ino before stopping mid sentence in shock. "Naruto-kun your eye…"
Naruto was now worried as he said "What is it Ino-chan?"
"Your eye is… blue again? Just like it used to before you got the first sharingan."
"Blue? Oh man I hope it didn't break!" Said Naruto as he quickly channeled some chakra towards his eye. Everything instantly became clearer, and Ino confirmed by saying "No Naru-kun, your sharingan is still there."
Naruto then released a breath he didn't know he had been holding as Tsunade walked in the door.
"Well well it looks like you're up already. You know whats going on right?" Said Tsunade as she sat down beside Naruto's bed."
"Umm yea… I got another eye transplant, and somehow my right eye is blue again."
"Hmm? It turned blue? Does the sharingan still work?"
"Yea I already tried it."
"Well then I wonder what could be the cause of that? Anyways you should be fine to uncover the left one now, since you've been out for 2 days."
"Okay." Said Naruto as he started to unwrap the bandages that were over his left eye.
Once he got it unwrapped he thought of playing another joke but remembered what Tsunade did last time after he recovered a bit. So instead he acted normal for once and just opened his eye.
"Kit I think your eye changed colors because you got both of the same eyes and your own DNA 'formatted' them to fit." Said Kurama within Naruto's mind.
"Naruto-kun! The left one is blue too!" Shouted Ino as she finally saw the new eye.
"Yea, Kurama said that my DNA kind of 'formatted' the eyes to fit me." Naruto said.
"Well I suppose that would make sense, since you now have a matching pair." Said Tsunade as she thought about all that from a medical point of view.
"So am I free to go Aunt Tsunade?"
"Yes but take it easy for a while, and give it some more time to adjust."
"Okay then"
"See you later." Said Tsunade as he rolled out of bed and walked towards the door.
Naruto made it about halfway to the door as Ino once again blushed and he felt that odd déjà vu feeling again before turning back to his bed to get dressed.
Once he was clothed again and Ino had stopped the flow of blood from her nose the pair started walking towards the Hokage tower so Naruto could get the feeling back in his legs.

Naruto finally arrived at Minato's office several minutes later after stopping by Ichiraku Ramen for some lunch. His dad was glad to see he was back up now and shocked to see his son with blue eyes again where they used to be 1 black 1 blue. (Well they actually used to be blue, then one was black, and now they're blue again. Confusing right?)
"Naruto-kun this one is blue too!" Yelled Ino as she performed the Flying Glomp Jutsu on him again.
"Yea I wonder why they turned back to blue now rather than black?" Minato pondered out loud.
"Well, Kurama says that he thinks my DNA 'formatted' the eyes to fit in, since I have the matching set now."
"I suppose that makes sense." Said Minato.
"Yea, as much as a demon fox telling you about DNA morphing transplanted eyes can make." Said Jiraiya as he climbed through the window and everyone laughed.
"Well, it looks like with the new eyes that you won't need a seal to use them." Said Minato.
"Yea I suppose you're right, we can remove the one on the left eye now." Said Jiraiya as he turned to Naruto.
"Go ahead Uncle Jiraiya." Said Naruto as Jiraiya did some hand seals and held his palm up to Naruto's right eye.
"Seal: Release." Said Jiraiya as the seal marks on Naruto's eye started to glow before receding into nothingness.
"Okay now test them out Naruto." Said Minato.
Naruto then proceeded to channel some chakra to his eyes as they transformed from blue to red with 3 tomoe in each eye. After a second, he channeled more chakra to his eyes and the tomoe started spinning rapidly before they fused together into his mangekyo, which was now also different. Instead of the four cornered sawblade, it now looked similar to Shisui's but as if the area between the 'blades' had been 'warped' into the center, and his eye was now black with red harpoon like 'blades'.
"Naruto… your mangekyo is different now as well… we should see what Itachi thinks of this." Said Minato as he disappeared in a yellow flash. A few minutes later he reappeared with Itachi in tow. Itachi looked at Naruto's eyes and was shocked. It was almost as if… No it couldn't be… He had only barely read about this very briefly in his clan's records. The last person to reach this level with their sharingan was Madara Uchiha.
Minato noticed the look on Itachi's normally stoic face and was now worried that this was something bad. "What's wrong Itachi?"
"I think that Naruto may have unlocked the most powerful version of the sharingan. We know very little of it, since only one Uchiha ever achieved this level, Madara. It was said that if one unlocked the Mangekyo and then transplanted the eyes of a close relative that his Mangekyo would become more powerful and gain eternal light. I believe Naruto-kun has achieved the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan."
Everyone in the room was shocked at this information, and Jiraiya was the first to speak.
"How though? Naruto isn't even an Uchiha, so he wasn't closely related to Shisui?"
"Like I said, we know very little about the EMS. It may have something to do with the fact that he has Uzumaki blood in him, since we know that the Uchiha and Uzumaki are distant relatives from the Rikudo Sennin."
"I see, that could explain it I guess." Said Minato
Naruto still didn't quite understand what was going on, nor did Ino. All he knew was that he had some super rare powerful version of the sharingan that only one other person ever had.
"I don't quite get it."
"Well Naruto, due to your mother's blood in you, it would seem that your sharingan reacted to the implant as it would have if say Itachi implanted Sasuke's Mangekyo. It's called the EMS." Said Minato, trying to make it simpler for his son.
"Okay I think I get it now… Because the Uzumaki and Uchiha both descend from the Rikudo Sennin, when I received the second eye it reacted to our 'shared' bloodline and changed."
"Yes that's the simple version of things." Said Itachi. "I need you to come to the Uchiha Compound with me Naruto-kun. We have a tablet of secrets that one can only read with the activation of certain levels of their sharingan. I would like for you to read the part of the tablet about the EMS."
"Okay then that's fine with me." Said Naruto.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Later, at the Naka Shrine.
Itachi had sneaked Naruto into the shrine so he could read the tablet here, since no one in their clan so far except the creator of the tablet had been able to read the final piece. After a while they reached a dimly lit room at the end of a large tunnel. The pair then went and knelt in front of a large stone tablet. Itachi gazed at the stone, though he could only read ½ of the writing. The rest was simply gibberish to him. Naruto started at the top and read it all, until he finally reached the spot where Itachi said he could no longer read. Naruto started at this point reading aloud to Itachi. They learned the secrets of the EMS; the perfect susano'o, the ability to use all of the various Mangekyo abilities, and the renewed light, among other things. After a minute Naruto suddenly stopped and said "Okay I can't read any more, it's like it switches to a different language after this."
"Hmm… what else could be further than the EMS that he couldn't read the hole tablet?" Thought Itachi.
"Okay, thank you Naruto-kun. You have shed some light on one of the biggest mysteries of my clan, and I am very grateful for that." Said Itachi as he bowed to Naruto slightly.
