"Sir what exactly are you going to do with all this cash" asked a mercenary.

"All of this is going to Yagura-sama, it's to help him in the civil war in Kiri" said Gato

"I still don't get why he started the bloodline purge I mean he was such a nice guy and then all of a sudden he's cold and heartless wonder what happened." replied the mercenary.

"Who cares Yagura-sama is rewarding me big by doing this." replied Gato.

End of Memory!

Naruto stopped clutching his head, and regained awareness of his surrounding, he heard people cheering, and he turned around to see the villagers rejoicing, with Gato dead they no longer had to worry about being ruled by tyrant. However, from what Naruto had learned from Gato's memory, this Yagura person seemed to have a hand in Gato's rain. He looked over at Zabuza and noticed his headband; he was a Kiri nuke-nin (missing nin).

"You there, Zabuza right?" he asked.

"Yeah, what do you want?" 'He looks familiar but, I can't put my finger on it' Zabuza thought to himself.

"What do you know of a man named Yagura?"

This caused Zabuza's eyes to widen a bit

"Why do you want to know?" he asked not liking where this is going

"From the memories I gained from Gato, this Yagura person had a hand in Gato's tyranny…" Naruto explained, feeling a little weird with telling someone he could steal people memories by eati-I mean consuming them.

"Yagura is the Yondaime Mizukage, he started a bloodline purge three years ago, he's already slaughtered 85% of bloodline users in Kiri, I became a nuke-nin because I made an assassination attempt on him…" he told Naruto.

"Is there anything else?" he asked.

"Yes…he's the Sanbi's Jinchuuriki…" he said, leaving Naruto wide-eyed

'He's a Jinchuuriki like me… this makes things more difficult… Kurama? What do you think?' thought Naruto.

"Isobu's Jinchuuriki huh? And a Kage no less… I remember now, Isobu was one of the three pacifists of the bijuu, he would always try to avoid a fight, so I know he's not influencing Yagura… maybe he's under a Genjutsu?" thought Kurama. Over the years, Naruto managed to contact kyuubi, sure Kurama acted like an asshole, the first few months, but he came to accept being sealed up within the whiskered Gaki. Though he knew about Naruto's abilities and didn't have to worry about his host being weak. Naruto promised to only use his chakra under dire conditions. Few months later, Naruto was able to gain Kurama's trust; he told Naruto about his parents, needless to say Naruto was a little pissed when he found out his father sealed Kyuubi within him and made his life hell, but then he felt relieved that his parents loved him even before his birth. His mother Kushina, Konoha's Red Habanero (Red Death) came from Uzushiogakure before it turned to ruins under the third shinobi war. This was why Naruto was in Wave in the first place to find his mother's home and learn about his clan.

"Hey kid you okay, you're staring into space" called out Zabuza

"Huh, what, oh sorry… I was just thinking, you know the way back to kiri, can you lead me there I think I can help Yagura…" the moment those words left his mouth, Zabuza picked him up by the collar

"WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO HELP HIM? THAT BASTARD'S KILLED SO MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE!" he yelled gaining everyone's attention.

"It's not what you think... I believe Yagura's under a powerful Genjutsu" Naruto Replied

"Oh yeah, and how could you be so sure?" he asked, more like demanded.

"Because I have an over-sized fox in my gut, that knows the bijuu better than anyone and he knows that the Sanbi would never influence his host like that" he replied.

Zabuza began to ponder, Yagura never acted like he did before the purge it happened like if he was possessed, he and everyone thought that Sanbi might have been the cause or if he had finally snapped. Then the words 'over-sized fox' processed through his brain.

"YOU'RE A JINCHUURIKI!" he yelled.

*Sigh*

"Yes, I'm the Kyuubi no Kitsune's Jinchuuriki" he replied in a deadpan voice.

Everyone bug-eyed especially team seven.

'Wait a minute; the Kyuubi's host was… THAT'S NARUTO!' mentally yelled Kakashi with his one visible eye the size of a dinner plate.

"Wait… if Yagura's really under a Genjutsu then why hasn't he tried getting out of it?" asked one shocked Zabuza.

"Not unless it's the same one that made Kyuubi attack Konoha all those years ago" he replied

Now, everyone's eyes where at the point of literally popping out of their sockets.

"So what're you planning?"

"What I'm going to do… I'm heading over to Kiri, I'll join the rebels in an attempt to get close to him, then when I'm close I'll destroy the Genjutsu" he said

"And how are you going to do that?"

Naruto smirked, looked at Zabuza and flared his fully matured Sharingan.

That did it. Kakashi and Sasuke fainted.

"HOW THE HELL DO YOU HAVE THE SHARINGAN!" yelled Zabuza, knowing that all Uchiha have black hair and eyes. Naruto just snickered, "I can't go around reveling all my secrets now can I"

"Fine, be that way…" grumbled Zabuza

Naruto turned around to see Tazuna walk up to him

"Kid you have no Idea how much this means to us, we can never thank you enough for freeing us from that bastard." he said, with everyone nodding their heads in agreement.

"Think nothing of it, I was just passing through… you guys should be lucky I have a good guy complex" he smiled showing his famous fox-like grin causing many of the female population to blush crimson red.

Kakashi then wakes up along with Sasuke, enough to hear their conversation.

"Can we get the name of our hero?" asked one of the civilians.

Naruto did his trade mark grin again, "Naruto… Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze!"

This caused Zabuza's heart to stop for exactly 10 seconds…

"N-N-Namikaze... Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze… The Child of Blacklight!" he stammered

All eyes were on Naruto thinking the same thing, 'Child of Blacklight?"

Kakashi was about to ask, when Zabuza opened a bingo book and read out loud…

Everyone was shocked to the core, at what seemed like a miniature Kage in front of them. Naruto was thinking, 'I felt like I cheated with all those people I consumed, meh whatever at least I trained to use them, unlike some people' as he shot a glance to Sasuke.

Kakashi finally spoke, "Naruto is it really you?"

Naruto was silent for a bit until he looked like something clicked in his mind, "you're… I'm sorry who are you?"

Everyone Facepalmed.

"C'mon whiskers don't you recognize me?" he asked again

Naruto noticed his gravity defining hair, "Inu-nii" he said little shocked.

Inu or Kakashi was one of the few people that didn't hold a grudge against Naruto for what happened, he was stationed to guard Naruto during his time at Konoha, besides him only, Weasel or Itachi, Sarutobi, and the Icharaku's where the only ones who he thought as a family.

"Naruto where've you been all these years, Hokage-sama sent anbu to look for you, for nearly a year what happened!" he asked everyone paying attention, liking the drama so far.

"Inu-nii, you know why I can't come back, everyone sees me as Kyuubi, and after what I did in that alley the council and the rest of the village, would be shouting for my execution." He retorted

Kakashi couldn't find a comeback he knew how everyone was back at the village.

"Where will you go then?"

"After I deal with the situation in Kiri, I'll settle there I guess, I can start over again and maybe start a clan there."

"I see well, Hokage-sama will be a little disappointed since you won't be in the village anymore. Heh, the Icharaku's have been wanting their number one customer to come back ya know."

Naruto pondered for a bit, "They really do miss me don't they… Ayame, Teuchi, Sarutobi-jiji, and Itachi."

Sasuke perked up upon hearing his brother's name; he scowled and turned away.

Kakashi nodded.

*sigh*

"Alright you've convinced me, I'll give Konoha another chance, and if things go south I'm heading to Kiri."

Kakashi nodded in understanding.

"Alright so we stay here a bit until, the bridge is finished then from here I go with Zabuza and his apprentice and help the rebellion afterwards, I'll come back to Konoha" he said gaining a nod from Kakashi then it him.

"Hey Kakashi, does Konoha have a peace treaty with Kiri?"

"No we cut off by the third Mizukage during the second shinobi war, why?"

"If things go right, I just might be able to get one between the two." he stated getting a surprised look from the team seven.

"Now we gonna stand here all day or what?" Naruto said out load

"He's right… BRING OUT THE BOOZE!" yelled out a random civilian

"Hey Tazuna before I forget, here's the pass code for Gato's bank account." said Naruto, gaining tears of joy from the villagers

Oh yeah tonight would be a night to celebrate, but the week after would be that of war.
