A/N: Thanks again for the reviews I got! We have a long chapter here. Things are starting to move forward for Sasuke and Naruto, hehe. Let's just say Naruto's a real bad ass in this chapter! Okie dokie! Read! Go! Bam!

Warning: Cursing and two unexpected killings (you have been warned)

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Haou Airen

There was a light tapping against a pale cheek the next day. The hits were barely a brush but soon turned much harsher. Sasuke sprang up from his laying position and looked around. Sweat clung to his face and clothes, his face was flushed red. His stomach still felt a little queezy. Basically he felt like crap. Utter crap. He swiped over his face and cringed when he felt all the excess moisture that accumulated there.

"Sasuke," A familiar voice called out to him, "about time you woke up, you scared the shit out of me."

Sasuke turned towards the voice and couldn't help but slightly back away from it, "Why are you backing away? Do I smell that bad?" The voice chuckled.

"Get out." Sasuke whispered slowly.

"What did you say?" A hand lightly brushed over his arm, he jumped back further until he felt what seemed like his head board hit his back.

"I said get out!" He screamed louder, "I don't want you here anymore Naruto!" Obsidian eyes finally landed on blue.

The blonde pouted lightly, "What do mean you don't want me here anymore. I can't live without your ramen teme."

"I'm not fucking around Naruto! I know what you did!"

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

Sasuke calmed down a bit. Maybe he was doing the wrong thing right now. He needed to take a different approach about the situation. Sasuke quickly jumped out of his bed and ran towards his living room. With speed like a agile cat, he grabbed at his house phone and immediately fumbled with the buttons to call a number that every citizen knew. Once his hand stopped shaking, he finally got to the 9-1- before he was tackled to the ground. Naruto grabbed at his wrist and pinned them beside his head, he secured his weight evenly on the Uchiha so there was no escape. Sasuke winced a little from the impact, then looked up towards the blonde.

"What were you about to do Sasuke." Naruto asked with an impassive face.

Sasuke's chest started to rise and fall quickly, "N-nothing."

"It didn't look like nothing to me."

"Well don't think," He struggled a little at his restraints, "Let go of me." He seethed quietly.

"That I cannot do," Naruto smiled a little bit, "unless you tell me who you were about to call."

Sasuke growled deep in his throat, "If you must know I was about to call the police! I know what you did!" He yelled into Naruto's face, spit flying out as well.

Naruto ignored the spray of moisture, "And what did I do Sasuke."

"You killed him….you killed Suigetsu."

Silence. Then laughter. Loud laughter. "You think I (a little snort) killed (a chuckle) that man?" He threw his head back and laughed again.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed, "Don't give me that crap, the reporter said that one of his many injuries was a fractured wrist which you did yesterday! I heard the crack!"

Naruto rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Yes I did squeeze his wrist hard but I didn't break it. I'm not that cruel. And two that's all I did. I wasn't the one who snapped his neck! I'm not that fucking crazy to kill a man!" His voice became cold.

"You told me not to follow you yesterday when you went to the bathroom. That's a perfect time to kill somebody!"

Naruto rolled his eyes, "Stop talking stupid! Do I look like a killer to you?"

"Yes."

"Stop thinking so much into things!"

"Give me a good reason why I shouldn't!"

Naruto couldn't win. He knew it. Why did Sasuke have to be so stubborn? The blonde looked deep into Sasuke's eyes, "If you must know, the real reason why I wanted to go by myself was because I wanted my shoulder to bleed again. I purposely touched it to make the wound open up again."

"That makes no since what so ever. Why would you want that?" Sasuke asked with a glare. A smirk tugged at Naruto's lips

He leaned down and whispered towards his ear, "I like it when you touch me. Every time you have to change my bandage your fingers lightly graze against my chest. Did you know that one of my sensitive spots is my chest," He gave a slow lick to his ear, "Sasuke."

Sasuke blushed tremendously, "That doesn't explain anything."

Naruto pulled back some and smiled, "I was hoping my shoulder would bleed again so it would give you a reason to touch me."

"Hn."

"Aww, lookey here…it's bleeding again."

"You did this on purpose didn't you?"

"Maybe." Naruto's face turned serious, his eyes becoming a deep blue of sincerity, "Sasuke, listen to me when I say this." The raven's eyes darted to his pinned hands. Naruto caught the gesture and pulled his hands away, "Even though we met two days ago I can't help but feel the need to watch over you, protect you. As I said before I never hurt any of my friends. You mean a lot to me. I may seem scary at times but that's only in my nature. I've been through a lot of shit in the past 21 years of my life. I may hurt people but I would never stoop as low as to kill somebody. It was a tragedy of what happened to Suigetsu. But you have to believe me. I did not kill him!"

Sasuke really wanted to find a signal, a gesture to pin Naruto to all the stuff that happened since he came into his life. But sadly he couldn't. The blondes' words seemed true in his ears. Maybe he did think too much into things? Sasuke realized his mistake and immediately felt bad for all the things he thought and said about the blonde.

Sasuke turned his head to the side when he felt his face heat up again, "Sentimental bastard."

Naruto chuckled a bit and finally got off of him, he reached out a hand and helped Sasuke stand up,

"Stay right there while I get some more bandages to stop the bleeding again, but I'll make sure not to touch anywhere on your chest." Sasuke called over his back, while walking back to his room.

"Yeah, yeah." As soon as Sasuke disappeared around the corner Naruto's once smile soon turned cold, a slight tinting of red forming in his eyes.

"Do you think they have ramen flavored ice cream?" Naruto exclaimed brightly, while his blue eyes skimmed over the different flavors of ice cream in the case in front of him.

They were currently at an ice cream parlor deciding on what to get. Since classes were cancelled till further notice Naruto insisted Sasuke take him out and show him around town. Sasuke asked why he didn't know the area since he was here, but Naruto brushed him off. He was still hiding something. But he kept avoiding the question. Sasuke gave up. The interrogation would have to wait.

The girl behind the case giggled when she looked over the blonde's childish antics. Naruto looked over her face as well and winked at her, making her blush. Sasuke felt sick to his stomach. Was he really flirting with her? Right in front of him? Sasuke furrowed his eyebrows. 'What the hell am I thinking? It's not like we're together.'

"Don't you get enough of eating it all the time? Why would you want ice cream in that flavor?" Sasuke stated with a glare.

"Because it would be epic!" He beamed proudly.

"Hn. Epic failure."

"What was that?"

"Nothing, nothing at all. Now pick something edible or we're leaving." Sasuke said while pointing at the case, "We're already holding up the line."

"Cruel bastard," Naruto mumbled, he gave one more look over the case till he found what he wanted, "Then give me a banana split with no nuts, ten cherries on top, I want vanilla ice cream on the right, strawberry ice cream on the left, and coffee ice cream in the middle, only two glop's of whipped cream, and I want white fudge instead of chocolate drizzled all around it..….please."

"What kind of concoction is that? It's not even a banana split anymore!" Sasuke said in awe.

"Yes it is, I'm still getting a banana with it." Naruto said with a shrug of his shoulders, his orange shirt bunching up around his shoulders. Before they came to get ice cream they stopped to get Naruto some more clothes. And of course he chose a orange shirt, a pair of blue jean shorts, and flip flops. Weird combination but somehow the color went well agaisnt his tanned skin. Sasuke threw those thoughts away and glared at the blonde.

"Do you think that she will really fix that shi-"

"Here you go sir, one banana split with no nuts, seven cherries on top, vanilla ice cream on the right, strawberry on the left, and coffee ice cream in the middle, only two sprays of whipped cream, and white fudge instead of chocolate drizzled all around it."

Naruto thanked the girl while he carefully took his sundae from her hand, he turned to Sasuke and smirked, "What was that you said about her not fixing it?"

Sasuke blushed a little, "Hn." His eyes roamed over the case before he decided on a banana split as well but the normal way.

Since the parlor was a little crowded they opted to sit outside where it was a minimal crowd. Plus, it was a good breezy day. They sat opposite of each other, with Naruto facing the street and Sasuke with a view of the shop.

"How's your ice cream dobe." Sasuke said after scooping some ice cream into his mouth.

"It's very good teme. Just the way I like it."

Sasuke couldn't help but admire Naruto's face. Especially when the wind blew his blonde hair making them fan out around his visage. The way he ate his ice cream. The way he licked the extra remnants away from his pink lips. The three mysterious scars that were on his cheeks. Naruto was strange, but beautiful. And he knew it.

"Am I that sexy to look at?" Naruto replied while smiling.

Sasuke scowled, "Don't get ahead or yourself moron."

"I'm not duck butt."

"What did you just call me?"

"Oh nothing."

"Hn."

They went back to eating their ice cream until something peculiar caught naruto's eye. He couldn't help but peer at the three men across the street that were staring at him. They looked like ordinary people to the eye but Naruto knew better. They were eyeing him down. Waiting for him to move.

"So they found me, huh?" He whispered to himself, he slowly put his spoon down and stood up. The three guys across the street moved as well, slowly making their way across the street. Naruto frowned a bit. Were they planning to do something out in the open?

"Naruto, what's wrong?" Sasuke asked while wiping his lips on a napkin. Naruto just looked at him and did the next best thing he knew.

He reached down, grabbed his flip flop, pulled his arm back, and threw it as far as he could. Many bystanders that were around them looked in awe. Sasuke shook his head and reclined further in the wooden chair.

"Oh-Darn-Clumsy-Me-I'll-Be-Right-Back."

He gave a small smile then ran the way he threw his shoe.

"If you start bleeding again don't expect me to patch you up." Naruto waved his hand in the air and turned at a corner, out of Sasuke's eye sight.

Sasuke shook his head and went back to his ice cream oblivious to three other figures following after the blonde.

Once Naruto deemed it was safe enough away from the wandering eyes of people, he stopped in a small alley. The ground was thick with grime and mud, the buildings on both sides of him looked worn out and patched up, he could even see small rats scurrying away. They were smart. Something was about to go down. Naruto couldn't wait. It had been a long time since he'd been in some real action. But there was no way Sasuke could find out. Naruto didn't lie when he said that he wanted to protect him. And if that meant keeping him out of his loop and stopping anybody that hurt or aggravated him in anyway, Naruto was ready. Adrenaline started to pump in his veins. It was time.

One guy materialized in front of him, he leaned against the wall and propped his left leg up against it, "I see you've been hiding." He said while looking over Naruto's form. The blonde couldn't quite get the picture of his face because he was leaning too far into the shadows. It didn't matter though. He would be dead soon.

"Is that what you call it? Maybe you weren't looking hard enough." Naruto replied back while placing his hands behind his back, interlocking his fingers together.

"If you weren't out shopping for clothes and getting ice cream, maybe you could have spotted us sooner, right Nagato?" Another person appeared at his right side.

'So they've been following me for that long huh?'

"So if you were following me around for so long, why didn't you make a move?"

"We like to lay low in the shadows, you know, work out the best plan for attack?" The one known as Nagato said, he still stood at his position along the wall. Was he scared?

"And the best plan involved watching me from across the street," Naruto looked over his attire, and couldn't help but smirk, "while wearing the colors of the Akatsuki organization. Yeah, that was smart."

A sharp grab around the neck had him face first to the brick wall followed by a strong metallic flavor in his mouth, "What the fuck would you know about our organization?"

'So that's where the last one was hiding.' Oh, it's a girl...who cares.'

"If you haven't noticed who I am then you must be dumb as fuck. I know everything."

A snort filled his ear, "Oh we know who you are," The girl rolled her eyes, "The one known as the oh so great and powerful, Kyuubi-sama." Naruto was pressed harder into the wall, more blood filling into his mouth.

He chuckled a bit, "That is what they call me isn't it."

"I'm getting tired of your bullshit! We want some answers and we're not leaving until we get it."

The blonde chuckled again, "Well it's a small world because I wanted to ask a couple of questions myself but it seems you guys have other things in mind."

"You know we have other methods to get what we want," The guy to his right said while stepping a little closer.

"And what might that be Yahiko-san?"

The guy stammered a bit. How did he know his name when he never said it? He straightened up further and gave Naruto a look of arrogance. "We know what you're looking for and we know where he is."

"Yahiko!" He looked towards Nagato, "What?"

"Our orders were to interrogate and then kill. We can't give out too much information and blow our cover."

"Tch. Why should we care? He's going to die anyw-"

The movement was quick. So quick that nobody knew he even moved. Yahiko was now in the hands of the blonde. His original holder lying on the ground. Naruto grabbed at the collar of his shirt and pulled her higher up the wall.

Spots danced in front of Yahiko's eyes. What just happened? Hee blinked a couple of times to clear his view then looked down upon a very pissed Naruto.

"You better tell me where he is or you'll definitely regret it." Naruto said deep in his throat. He was starting to lose his patience.

Yahiko still thought he had the advantage so he continued to speak, "Or you'll what? Why don't you go back to that pale looking fellow and cry on his fucking shoulder? That is…if he's still alive."

Naruto hung his head lower until his blonde hair covered his eyes. First they insult him, and now Sasuke. Were they crazy? Silence. Then laughter. Pure evil laughter. "Do you know what happens to people who look into my eyes when they change color (1)?"

The air started to thicken and Yahiko couldn't figure out why his body started to tremble. But Nagato knew. He knew what was coming. And he knew what was about to happen.

The once stationary Nagato started to move farther away from Naruto and his soon to be dead comrade.

"And what's that!"

Naruto took that moment to raise his head and those once blue orbs were now tainted with red, he gave a wicked smile. "Well instead of telling you why don't I show you. I'm sure you're going to love it."

"Yahiko get away from him!"

It was too late. A horrible crack echoed through the alley followed by the sound of a body hitting the ground. A now dead body. Naruto smiled again. This was what he'd been waiting for all day. He was going to make sure it wasn't in vain.

"You son of a bitch!" Nagato yelled, but continued to keep his distance from the monster in front of him. He wanted to run away so bad but his legs wouldn't move. His eyes went to the other person that was with him, "Don't just stand there Konan! Kill him!"

"Bu-But Nagato he just kil- killed him in like five seconds. What am I supposed to do!"

"Yes, Konan," blue eyes appeared before the one known as Konan, "What are you going to do?" She had a look of horror on her now white face and it only made Naruto happier. He loved to see that expression. Konan started to back up but tripped over what seemed to be nothing, Naruto chuckled a little.

"Now, now you don't have to be afraid of little ol' me. Just answer my question and I might let you live. But choose wisely. You don't want to end up like my good friend Yahiko….do you?"

Konan looked over to his lifeless friend then back at the blonde. Slowly she started to stand up but it was on shaky legs. She really didn't want to die right now.

"They tricked you. He's not he-here anymore, or rather he wasn't here in the first pal-pal-place."

"Konan! Shut the hell up!" Nagato growled from afar.

"Well what else am I supposed to say!" She growled back, without taking his eyes off of the blonde.

Naruto rolled his eyes at their childish banter. "And why would they pull a stunt like that Konan?" He asked while letting the girls name roll off his lips slowly.

"That man knew that you would bring the five Heavenly Kings with you. They are the strongest group of men right next to you, that is. Your people are known to kill on the spot without even batting an eyelash and the Akatsuki didn't want any unnecessary bloodshed to appear."

"Is that so?" Naruto murmured while rubbing at his chin, stubble pieces grinding on his fingers. He really needed a shave. Maybe Sasuke had a razor back home. "Konan!"

"Yes!"

"One final question. How did you guys find me so quickly?"

She looked towards Nagato for a little bit. Once she realized that she wouldn't get any help he spoke,"One is a spy."

"Konan! Shut up!"

"I figured as much," The blonde rubbed at the back of his neck, "Konan!"

"W-what is it Kyuubi-sama."

Naruto smirked. The kid was really scared. He loved it, "Since you answered my questions respectively I'll spare you. But go. Tell your so called boss that he'll regret ever messing with me. And if any harm shall come to the person I'm looking for, then there will be a war."

"Yes Kyuubi-sama!" Konan sent one final glance at Nagato then took off away from the alley. Yep. Nagato knew he was fucked now.

"Nagato-san I knew I seen your face somewhere." Naruto said while slowly stepping up to him. He kept his arm interlocked behind his back.

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

"I think you do. Do you know how bad my shoulder hurt two days ago? I was passed out for hours because of the poison that was on the blade."

"What are you talking about!"

"I'm not dumb. The Akatsuki are well-known for their powerful poisons that they create. And you so happened to have some of it on the knife that went through my shoulder."

"You should have been dead! I made sure to drench the whole blade in it!"

"You'll have to try much harder my friend, my immune system is pretty good." Naruto was evem closer now, just a few inches away. "By the way, if your still alive go on and talk to Sasori for me and tell him to perfect it some more before lackeys like you go around willingly stabbing people!"

"You son of a bitch! I'll kill you!" Nagato grabbed at the hidden knife in his pocket and secured it tightly in his hands. Adrenaline rushed into his veins as he stepped towards Naruto and began to swing it wildly.

With every swing that Nagato made, Naruto dodged it perfectly and soon Nagato was on the ground. Naruto threw his weight down on his midsection and placed the knife at his throat. How he stole the knife from him. He didn't even know.

"You'll never get away with this! More powerful men will come and they'll kill you! And maybe he'll be there as well to deliver the finishing blow!"

Naruto shrugged, "I highly doubt that. The fucker didn't have the balls to follow me over here. He waited till I was gone to make his move. What a fucking coward. But it's okay. You will pay the price in his place. As I always say," He took that moment to shove the blade deep into Nagato's throat, a light spray of blood flew on his face and shirt, "A life for a life."

Naruto climbed off of him as soon as his chest stopped moving. He frowned a bit about the mess on his shirt. Sasuke was going to kill him.

"Fuck!"

A shadow hovered over the Uchiha when he scooped up the last bit of his ice cream. He immediately knew who it was. "What took you so long…..dobe…..."

"It took me longer then I thought to find it…..what?"

"Where the hell is your shirt?" He couldn't help but roam his eyes over the tan chest in front of him.

"Uh….somebody stole it?"

"Somebody stole it."

"…sure…let's go with that!"

"Are you doing this just to get attention," Sasuke's eyes darted to the many other eyes staring at the blonde. "Or is it to tease me?"

Naruto leaned down close to his ear, "It's a little of both. I like the attention you give me."

Sasuke stood up abruptly and walked away, "Hn." He heard the blonde chuckle as he jogged up behind him.

They were almost to Sasuke's apartment when something caught Sasuke's eye, "What happened to your flip-flop."

Naruto looked down and noticed only one foot had a beige flip-flop attached to it, "Uh….I lost that too?"

"Dobe."

"Naruto," Sasuke called while placing a grape into his mouth. They were currently seated in his living room watching a movie. Actually, it was more like Naruto was watching the movie while Sasuke ocasionally gazed. He wanted to do something. And that was get to the unsolvable mystery of Naruto.

"Yes, teme."

"Did you live in Japan all of your life?" Naruto stiffened for an instance but Sasuke saw it, and it just perked his interest even more. "I mean since your mother is Japanese, which must mean that your father met her over here."

"I guess you could say that." He replied soon after.

"What do you mean?"

"My father indeed met my mother in Japan. But we never stayed over here for too long. Things happened and my father and I were forced to leave."

"Forced to leave?"

"Many people disapproved of the marriage between my mother and father. You could almost call their act of love, trivial in the eyes of their superiors."

Sasuke leaned up further in his chair, "Superiors? You almost make it seem like they were part of some kind of mafia."

"And what if they were? Would that make a difference?" Naruto said seriously.

Sasuke eyed him curiously, "Hn. Give me a break. The mafia? Like those people really exist." Sasuke placed his now empty bowl on the table beside the couch, he reached for the remote and started flipping through channels. The movie was about to go off anyway.

"You have no idea." Naruto mumbled while standing up, "I'm going to take a shower."

"And what are you going to change into? Most of your clothes are dirty and you lost your shirt remember."

"I'll just have to walk around in a towel now, wont I?"

Sasuke snorted, "Do whatever you want." Naruto smiled and walked in the direction to the bathroom. Once the sound of water filled Sasuke's ear he went back to watching TV. There was nothing else to watch so he turned on the news. They were going over the weather for the upcoming days until a headline report cut them off.

Earlier today around three o'clock the bodies of two young men were found dead in an abandoned alley. One was seriously stabbed to death at the neck, while the other appeared to have had a broken neck. Was this a cincidence for one of the bodies to have had the same injuries as the other did yesterday? Or are we dealing with an upcoming serial killer? As of right now the police do not know but are doing their very best to get to the bottom of this tragedy. The police do a have one piece of evidence that was found at the crime scene, The clipped switched to a picture of the evidence. Sasuke's eyes widened with horror at what popped up on the screen , this orange shirt, which was covered with blood, was found in a nearby garbage bin just a few feet away from the crime scene. The police are happy for even this little piece of evidence to give them some kind of lead. Once again, if anybody knows anything that might have happened do not be afraid to contact the nearest police station.

"It couldn't be," Sasuke whispered to himself, his eyes took a quick glance towards the bathroom door, "That couldn't be his shirt. He wouldn't do that. He told me he would never kill anyone."

But everything made since. All the pieces fell back to the blonde. How could Sasuke be so dumb? Who else would it be? That was definitely Naruto's shirt, the shirt that he supposedly lost.

"I let a mass murderer in my house." Tears started to well-up in his eyes, "I let the lying bastard in my house! I'm going to be killed!"

A sharp knock on his door sent him flying on the ground. Sasuke slowly made his way back on now shaky limbs. Maybe it was Tenten? She'd been taking martial art classes since she was a baby, maybe she could help him? He gave a small smile out of triumph, rubbed at his burning eyes, then quickly made his way to the door.

"Tenten I'm so glad you're here, you've got to-oof!"

A sharp impact to his stomach immediately had him to the ground struggling for breath. He coughed, wheezed, did whatever it took to bring air back into his lungs.

"Otani! How many times do we have to tell you to stick to the plan! I would have laughed if a bullet went through your skull just now!" Voices filled Sasuke's ear, but he couldn't lift his head to look up. The pain was still residing in his stomach. He felt like he was going to pass out.

"Sorry Kiba, I couldn't help myself." The one known as Otani replied while stepping further into Sasuke's apartment. He nodded at the different types of electronics he saw. Electronics that he could probably steal.

"Whatever." Two more stepped into the apartment as well, scanning each and everything that their eyes could see.

"Are you sure he's in here? This isn't the type of space he would normally choose to hide out in, although it's not too shabby." This one's voice was more feminine, almost like a girl's.

"It makes me want to draw it," Another one mumbled from afar.

"Do you doubt my nose power Haku, or should I go grab akamaru out of the car? I'm positive he's in here, although it was a little hard sniffing him out. There was another scent that clung around him."

"Are you talking about him?" All eyes landed on Sasuke who at that time was able to lift his head and miraculously crawl up onto all fours. As he further looked up, a pale hand appeared at his eyes. He followed along the defined arm and came upon a boy with red hair, and a strange tattoo that said love on his forehead.

"Please forgive him, the little pup is still in training." He replied in a monotonous tone.

"Whats that supposed to mean Gaara?" Otani spat while looking at the contents of Sasuke's fridge.

Sasuke looked over the five that stood in his apartment. They all wore black, almost like they could be robbers. Well, wasn't this going great! First he houses a serial killer and now he's being robbed! But they didn't attempt to take anything; they just stood around and gazed at his apartment. Except the other one, he was now in the mist of looking through his movie collection. Sasuke looked back at the outstretched hand in front of him but smacked it away and scooted back closer to a wall, he slowly started to stand up still clenching at his stomach. Gaara sighed and crossed his arms over his chest, he reclined against the wall.

"You scared another one Gaara." Kiba chuckled.

"No, if we just stuck to my plan then he wouldn't be scared of me, but somebody just had to ruin it." Gaara sent glares towards Otani, but he just shrugged it off and continued to scan over the movie cases.

"Well, my plan would have worked to, you know."

"Sai, we were not trying the traveling salesmen skit again. You remember what happened last time, don't you?" The feminine one replied. Haku smiled a little at Sasuke but he ignored her and finally managed to stand up on two feet.

"But it was fun."

They were crazy! All of them! What were they doing in his apartment? Why weren't they stealing anything?

And then it clicked. "You're looking for Naruto, aren't you?" Sasuke asked still holding his stomach.

The five of them looked at him with wide eyes, almost like what he just said was taboo.

"What was that?" Otani asked while rounding up to him. Sasuke didn't back down. He had to stay strong. Show them that he wasn't scared…even though he was.

"You're looking for Naruto, right. He's in-" The next thing he knew, he was on the ground but this time holding at his nose, it was starting to bleed profoundly.

"Fuck!" He cried out.

"Don't you dare say Kyuub-sama's name in vain!" Otani placed his foot on the ravens back to hold him in place. "Do you know how many years it takes for someone to even say his name out loud?"

"That's exactly why you have to be one of my most privileged friends to call me by my real name. Or be part of my elite group," All eyes turned towards the blonde that was slowly making his way towards them, "The Five Heavenly Kings (2)."

"Naruto." Gaara nodded.

"Naruto" Kiba waved.

"Naruto." Haku smiled.

"Naruto." Sai gave a fake smile.

"Kyuubi-sama!"

Otani bowed deeply to the floor, his head nearly touching the ground.

'What the hell was going on'

(1) I'm playing off the fact that in the manga, whoever see's Hakurons dragon tattoo on his face dies, so I have it that whoever see's Naruto's red eyes dies

(2) I couldn't think of another name to call them so I borrowed it from the manga

Things are starting to pick up but Who are these so called Heavenly Kings? Who is the boss that Naruto was refering to? What's going to happen to Sasuke? Keep these questions in mind.

Review Please and Thank You!

Important note: My other story My Uzumaki should be posted later on tonight or early tomorrow morning. I have to work tonight so it depends on how I feel. Lets hope I do! Yay!
