For all of those who have asked questions, this chapter is for you.

Naruto is not mine.

Kingdom Hearts is not mine, either.

Hinata could barely contain herself. Her mind was flooded with questions. What were those black creatures Haku told her about? Why was Naruto's cloak blue when he arrived? What did he mean by it was his mission in life to find someone to love? And where did he get those strange-looking weapons? Finally, she could not take it any longer.

"Naruto...?"

"Hm? What is it Hinata?"

"Would you mind if I asked you a few questions?"

"Not at all."

"What did you mean by it was your m-mission in life to find someone to l-love?"

"Well, would you like the short answer or the long answer?"

"Whichever."

"Alright then," He cleared his throat, "Long ago, the world was united and filled with warm light. People loved the light, and eventually began fighting over it. Then, Darkness made it's way into people's hearts. Darkness consumed the hearts and light of the people, and in a flash it spread...The world disappeared into the Darkness. But a glimmer of light remained in the hearts of the children...Children gathered their glimmers of light and recreated the world. The recreated world however, was no longer united...It was divided into several smaller worlds. Because the true light was still hidden deep within the darkness..."

And so, Naruto told the story of a boy named Sora. He retold how the fourteen-year-old encountered and heroically battled thousands of Heartless, Nobodies and the mysterious Organization XIII. He retold even parts of the story that Sora himself had forgotten, "And so they came upon the threatening castle, Castle Oblivion." He then told about Sora's later life, how he went into retirement and lived at Disney Kingdom Castle, with his wife, Lady Kiari, and his life-long friend, General Riku. "It was then, that Sora felt it, in his old, weary bones, he felt something he would always fear. Darkness was rising. And this time, it would be far beyond his reach. So he came to this world, searching for a worthy successor, and then he came upon the apartment of a small boy, the apartment of a boy who had a heart that shone with a light so close to that of his own that he could not but help and made this boy his successor. Whene he found him, he gave him a mission, find your Riku, find your Kairi, and defeat the darkness. That boy stands before you today, in a black robe, and the Keyblade in his heart."

There was silence for a brief second then Sasuke broke it saying, "You made all of that up."

Naruto turned to him and gave him a foxy smile. "Maybe, maybe not. But you won't ever really know, now will you?"

At this time, the sun was already beginning to set. Kakashi ordered them to set up camp. As they placed down some sleeping rolls, Hinata asked another question. "What were those round w-weapons you threw a Tazuna the first day?"

Naruto pulled out a scroll from his robe. It suddenly poofed out of existence to reveal two round weapons with spikes protruding from it at regular intervals. "These?"

Hinata nodded.

"These are Axel Chakram, replicas of Axel's weapons created by the New Organization."

"What's the new organization?" Haku asked.

"Didn't I tell you?"

"N-no." Hinata answered for Haku.

"The New Organization, lead by Squall Leonhart. Is the second generation of Organization XIII. Unlike their predecessors, however, the New Organization has more pure motives. Instead of trying to open Kingdom Hearts, they have tried to keep it closed. Due to some of the usefulness of Organization XIII's weapons, some have been recreated to arm some of the members with relatively easy-to-use weapons. The Axel Chakram are one of these."

"What about those n-needle things that you threw at Zabuza when you first f-fought him?"

"Larxene needles, same idea. Now if you don't mind, I'd like to get some shut eye."

"You're making it up." Sauske said.

"Sure." Haku said, ignoring the Uchiha and pulling the covers over himself. "Goodnight."

"Night." Naruto said.

"G-goodnight."

Four pairs of eyes watched the small group. Each one was dressed in the New Organization's black robe. "Do you think you will be able to train him?" Sora asked.

"I trained you, didn't I?" The third figure spoke, he had a long blade by his side, held there by two criss-crossing belts.

"What about the girl?" Kiari asked.

"So you've chosen her then?" the fourth figure asked, in a feminine voice.

"If Naruto will have her."

"Then as soon as you think she is ready."

"Well that time is still far off for her." Sora said, leaning on his ebony cane, "But Naruto needs this training, the Heartless have already surfaced in this world, it is only a matter of time. Time we don't have."

The man with the large blade turned to him, "I realize the gravity of this situation, Sora. But training is not something one can rush. You know this as well as I do."

The woman next to the man with the blade cut in, "And we don't know how much control they have over the Heartless, for all we know, it's nothing more than a trial run with Shadows, nothing more."

Sora stopped and thought about this. Finally he spoke, "I suppose it could be. But we cannot take any chances."

The man sighed. "Very well, I will watch him, and train him when the opportunity arises."

"As will I." The woman said.

"Thank you my friends. It is very much appreciated."

"What about Riku's boy?" The man asked. "Should I train him as well?"

"No, Riku told me to not interfere with him. Riku probably needs him to be at his wit's end before making his move."

"Is that why he locked himself in the library?"

Sora chuckled. "No, he did that just to be mysterious."

Somewhere, in another world, Riku sat at a table, reading a small book. "Are you sure this is accurate?" He asked.

"As accurate as it could be." a voice said.

"Hm." He had spent nearly two nights like this, reading all of the small manuscripts written by Disney Castle's chronicler, Jiminy Cricket.

As small green insect jumped up onto the table, wearing a top hat, waist coat, and carrying a small umbrella. "What are we looking for again?"

"The 'Keyblade War', and the 'Nature of Keyblades' books."

"Why are you looking for those?"

"For a reason."

"What reason?"

Riku smiled, "A reason."

Jiminy sighed, that was all he'd ever get out of him.

Darkness. He liked the Darkness. His two reptilian yellow eyes scanned his bedchamber. It needed something. He put that thought out of his mind and pulled out a giant stone-bound book. A tome. He opened it, carefully, letting the cover down, as to not make much noise. No need for someone to run in, all worried for his safety. He flipped the ancient pages, briefly scanning the pages. Then he came to one he had not seen before. He read the title. On Keyblades. His eyes grew slightly with curiosity. "What's this?"

Darkness. He feared the Darkness. He was surrounded by it. He couldn't feel the floor. There was no ceiling. As far as he could reach, there were no walls in any direction. He put his hand in front of his face. He couldn't see it. There was nothing. Then a water drop echoed in this...room? Was that what this is? A room? Then a voice said, echoing off unseen walls. "Ku, ku, ku. You are mine now, Sasuke."

The Uchiha sat up. He looked around. Forest, stars, his teammates. He sighed, it was just a dream. He grabbed his sheets, pulled them over his head, and went back to sleep.

The sun was up, bright and early, as was Naruto and co. They walked down the path until their eyes met a sight the have longed to see, Konohagakure, in all of it shining beauty. Naruto turned to Sasuke. "I bet I could make it to the gates first."

Sasuke looked at him, then sighed, ignoring the challenge.

"Alright, I guess I win, another thing I can beat the "Great Uchiha heir" at." The words Great Uchiha heir, were dripping with sarcasm.

Sasuke desperately tried to stop himself from taking up the challenge.

"Of course, what do you expect, he is a selfish spoiled brat who has everything handed to him on a silver platter, in fact the only thing you probably had to work for is your eyes."

Kakashi suddenly snapped his attention form his book and the two boys. Eyes? Did Naruto know something he didn't?

Sasuke looked shocked. "How did you know about that?"

Naruto smiled. "I didn't."

Sasuke glared at him, his eyes demanded an explanation.

"It's called a bluff, moron. Get used to them, many ninjas use them frequently."

"Nobody calls me a moron!"

"I call anybody that I can beat what I want."

"I can lick you any day of the week!"

"Cannot."

"Can too."

"Cannot."

"Can too."

"Cannot."

"Can too."

"Cannot."

"Can too."

"Cannot."

"Can too."

"If you could, then race me."

"Here to the gate?"

"We're at the gates."

"Here to the Hokage tower then?"

"You're on!"

The two of them suddenly got into a crouch, then with a burst of speed, flew forward.

Kakashi sighed.

Haku looked over to Hinata. "Are they always like that?"

"S-sometimes."

Sandaime Hokage smiled, he was finally done with today's paperwork, now all he had to do was get each painstakingly perfect pile to it's home, Suddenly, a dark-blue blur jumped through the window. The figure, which happened to be Sasuke, landed on a three-foot stack of papers which slid forward. Sasuke started waving his arms, to catch his balance, but failed to do so, and landed on his back. His arm, unfortunately for him knocked over the Hokage's ink well. The black liquid began to seep over a newly-done stack, making any previously legible handwriting unrecognizable. The Hokage stared in horror, as Sasuke's second arm flailed into his emergency ink wells, creating a bigger mess.

"Oh, yeah!" Sasuke said. "Let's see what Naruto says after he gets here."

Suddenly he felt a suffocating killer intent. He slowly tuned and saw the Hokage, glaring daggers at him. He suddenly wished he hadn't turned around.

Naruto bashed through the door, and what he saw surprised him. Sasuke beat him here. Then he saw the Hokage nearly whip the boy like a slave driver as he began picking up papers. "Maybe I'll let him have this one." he thought. He silently closed the door behind and headed back to his apartment.

Kakashi walked into the Hokage's office to a seemingly calm Hokage. "Ah, Kakashi. I heard you had gotten back."

"Yes, Hokage-sama, I have come to report."

Kakashi went on to explain his mission to the Hokage, and he sat silently through it all. "When Zabuza died, he then left Haku, his protege, in our care."

"Hm," The Hokage said, well then this is easily an A-rank mission. You will all get the appropriate pay, and it will show up on their records."

"Thank you Hokage-sama."

"Before you go, I have two more things to tell you."

Kakashi stood, waiting.

"First, Naruto get some extra money for bringing in Haku, congratulate him. Second, Sasuke has," He paused, "volunteered his services. Don't expect him around for trainning any time soon. And bring in Haku, I want to talk to him."

Kakashi noticed the look in the Hokage's eye when he said 'volunteered'and wisely decided no to press the matter. "I'll send him in."

Kakashi turned and left. When the door closed, it revealed and bound and gaged Sasuke. "Yes, 'volunteered' is the perfect word."

Haku had finished his talk with the Hokage, who gave him the proverbial seal of approval and then wrote down a note to give to a man at a small apartment building. When he gave the note, his face turned red. "What the F#%$!? Another one!? What the H3((!" In the midst of his obscenities, he grabbed a room key and threw at the boy. "One of these F#%$ing days, I'm gonna wind up in a F#%$ing homeless shelter."

Hku wasted no time getting up the stairs, not wanting to listen to more of the foul words that poured from the landlord's mouth. "What did he mean by another one?" He thought. He walked down a hallway. He looked for his room number 108. He couldn't find it. He found 107, and 109, but he couldn't find 108. Finally he decided to ask one of his neighbors. He knocked on door 107 and nearly dropped his keys when he saw who opened the door. "Naruto?"

The robed boy mirrored Haku's expression "Haku? What are you doing here?"

"Well, apparently I'm your new neighbor."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes."

"No way!"

"Way."

"This is awesome!"

"There's one problem."

"What?"

"I can't find my room." He handed Naruto the keys.

"Oh, right, this one. Come on, I'll show you."

Naruto took him to the column between 109 and 107 and showed him a door on the column's side, just out of view from where Haku was looking. "Everyone asks about this room." Naruto said. Opening the door for him. "Well, it's good to have a new friendly face to live near."

"Same here." Haku said.

The next day, Naruto and Hinata met in the usual training spot, waiting for their Sensei and Sasuke to arrive. When the latter did not, the two teammates grew slightly worried. Suddenly, their sensei appeared. "Sorry I'm late, I got lost on the road of life."

"That's a load of bull." Naruto said.

"Be that as it may, I have a surprise for the both of you."

Their interest perked, they gave him their full attention.

"I'd like to introduce you to the latest addition to team seven," He stepped to the side to reveal a boy, clad in some newly bought clothing and a Konoha headband on his head. "Haku!"

Their mouths dropped.

"Just remember to thank the Hokage next time you see him, he pulled a lot of strings for this one."

"Alright!" Naruto yelled.

"Yes, yes. Now. Since Sasuke has inexplicably volunteered to help the Hokage for a while, I gonna train you guys. Hinata, since your chakra reserves are still kind of small, I want you to stand on that tree over there. Haku, to get a better view on your skills, I want you to spar with Naruto."

The two boys looked at each other. Then in a flash, they jumped away from each other, weapons out, ready to attack.

Kakashi sighed.

Sasuke sighed. He was signing papers in the Hokage's name. His hand ached. His fingers were black from the ink. His head had several bumps on it from when Sarutobi caught him lagging. There was one thought that kept Sasuke from becoming too depressed, however. The score was one to one.

There you go, the Explanations chapter. Hopefully I covered all of your questions, on that note, I don't ever answer questions directly. Never expect one. The story should take care of it.

Well, Cya!

P.S.

Sorry it's a short chapter
