So yeah, the stage is set for the restoration of the Uzumaki clan, so much work to do. For now some training.

Naruto, Hinata and Neji had just joined the newly created Akuzura and are well on the way to restore the Uzumaki clan.

Akatsuki Base, Necragakure. (The previous base was taken over therefore the newest base is in Necragakure.)

Naruto first trains with Nagato AKA Pain.

Naruto, and Pain (Note: I'm going to call Nagato, Pain whenever he uses the Deva Path's body, for other paths it will say so.)

"Now my clan member we shall show this world that pain is not something to have, but that's in good time, for now I shall train you and make you much stronger so we can crush whomever may oppose us." Pain said.

"Okay Nagato." Naruto replied.

"You are in my clan so our chakra is alike Naruto, you should be compatible to learn some of my techniques."

"This technique is called the Heavenly Subjugation of the Omnipresent God."

"That's going to be a lot to say when I use it." Naruto said in irony.

"Don't worry, in short it's called the Shinra Tensei or Almighty Push."

"That's easier to say." Naruto laughs, Pain simply smirks, he didn't simile often mostly because he was in a lot of, well, pain.

"Allow me to demonstrate." Pain holds up his arm his palm open.

"Almighty Push!" Pain's attack literally trashes the rock he was aiming at, there was no resistance the attack sent the rock flying into the nearby wall as if it weighed nothing.

"Wow." Naruto was in shock that the attack was so powerful.

"Now you try, you simply launch your wind chakra like a you're throwing a rope out in front of you."

"Okay." Naruto gathers his wind chakra in his hand and then releases it the attack wasn't close to hitting the rock it merely crashed into the ground and didn't do much else.

"Aww man." Naruto said, his first try was an epic fail.

"No worries, it takes long to learn this technique without the Rinnegan I possess."

"Try again, we need as much practice as possible." Pain said hoping Naruto could master the jutsu in time for any wars.

Naruto tried again and again, continuing and promising to master the jutsu.

"Naruto." Hinata was always impressed by Naruto's perseverance and ability to keep trying.

"Hinata shall we begin?" Hikari said to Hinata, Neji was by her side.

In another room the 3 Hyuga trained.

Neji, Hinata and Hikari all fought with incredible control and power using the gentle fist technique.

Hikari decides she wanted to teach them some new techniques, perhaps some more powerful ninjutsu.

"Okay I want you both to learn a new technique I learned this from the Hidden Shadow Village, it's quite a strong technique and if you make good use of it the gentle fist will be close to unstoppable."

"Okay Hikari." Hinata seemed eager to learn a new technique like Naruto was.

"Hmm." Neji still didn't trust her.

"This technique is called the Shadow Movement jutsu technique it's a teleport jutsu."

"This technique turns the users body into a shadow and then the user can move through objects and travel on flat surfaces without any mass, then reappear at will. Think about it if you use this technique along with the gentle fist, you could strike the opponent in chakra spots with ease and completely overwhelm them."

"Although I chose not to learn this technique, but Yukiko can teach you."

"Hey!" Yukiko and Sidra came into the room.

"Yukiko can you teach them the shadow movement jutsu?" Hikari asked.

"Are you sure, that jutsu takes awhile to master?"

"I'm willing." Hinata says.

"Not me." Says Neji. "I'll train with Hikari and Sidra, I won't waste my time learning a jutsu that I can't do."

"Fine." Sidra, Hikari and Neji leave to another room leaving Yukiko with Hinata.

"Okay Hinata, I'll demonstrate the jutsu." Yukiko's body turns purple and she phases into the floor literally, a large shadow ran through the floor and then the ceiling, finally Yukiko emerged from the shadow.

"Wow." Hinata was impressed by this. 'I have to learn this jutsu.'

That night.

"Naruto..." A voice said in terrifying demonic tone.

"Huh?" Naruto looked around he was in the chamber of the Nine-tails.

"What do you want?" Naruto said in an annoyed voice.

"Naruto, you used to be a useless boy in thought that the leaf was a good home, but now I know you see things differently."

"Oh really, I haven't given up on the leaf yet!"

"Maybe, but you are foolish, the leaf is poison, you're gone for days now and yet they don't look for you."

"That's doesn't mean anything!"

"Also the leaf is under Danzo's control now."

"Wait what?!" Naruto was in shock to hear this.

"It's true, I heard it from the other tailed beasts, the one-tail told me."

"We have to recover the leaf!"

"No, destroy the leaf, destroy it, and then you can re-make it in your image."

"But destroying the leaf, I don't know."

"Think about it, then talk to me."

Naruto found himself still in bed, he woke up from that nightmare, he went back to sleep and decided to deal with it later.

The next day

Naruto's push was improving, he had worked almost all night and he was improving, he could hit the rock now, but he didn't have much power.

Hinata was actually making progress too, her shadow movement was starting to come together, but she still had some more work ahead of her.

Meanwhile, the leaf village outskirts.

Anbu walked by looking for something. Behind a tree was Sakura, Kakashi, Tsunade and Jiraiya.

"Ugh we've been running for days when do we make our move?" Jiraiya said tired of running.

Tsunade nails Jiraiya in the face with her fist, it was a really dumb question.

"Jiraiya!, we don't stand much of a chance against 1000 Anbu not to mention Naruto, Hinata, and Neji are dead."

Sakura was upset by this mention, her teammate, and 2 of her friends were dead. "Naruto..." She said depressed.

Kakashi put his hand to Sakura's shoulder. "We need to move on, don't mourn Naruto during a war."

From a cliff far away Sasuke looked at the village taken over by Danzo.

"Well now Naruto's dead and the village is under that bastard Danzo's control, this is one surprise after another."

"So Sasuke what are we going to do?" Suigestsu asked.

"I have to kill the next most important person in my life. It's the only way for me to awaken my mangekyou sharingan."

"Watch out Sakura, and you too Itachi." Sasuke said his eyes glowing a bright red.

XXXXXX

"How foolish the leaf falling to Danzo, this is pathetic, oh well it's now easier to destroy the leaf." Orochimaru stood from afar.

"And I will get you too, Sasuke."

Middle of the night Sasuke finds Sakura, Kakashi, Tsunade and Jiraiya alone near a fire conversing.

Sasuke generates his Chidori the volts of lightning catching Kakashi's attention.

"Look out!" Kakashi says seconds later Sasuke smashes down where Sakura was the attack creates a giant crater and smoke blows around making the 4 ninjas cover their eyes.

In mere seconds Sasuke was up again Sharingan activated and staring at Sakura with the face of a madman his grin was like a demon staring at Sakura.

"Sasuke?!" Sakura said completely surprised at seeing Sasuke at this time.

"Why are you here Sasuke?" Kakashi asked.

Sasuke swung at Sakura with his katana barely slashing off Sakura's hair.

"I'm going to kill." Sasuke said in his deeper voice.

"Sasuke this is not the ninja way." Kakashi said.

"HehehehahahahahHAHAHA!" Sasuke laughed like a maniac he was crazy.

"Do you really think you're my sensei anymore?, you're history Kakashi, and you Sakura you will die!"

"I'm itching to kill you!" Sasuke's arm turns into a hundred bolted energy fist, thunderclouds surrounded the area as he held his arm up.

"Kirin!" Sasuke yells as the lightning strikes his arm, Sasuke blasts his arm at the ground vaporizing everything within 20 meters of himself.

"No Sasuke!" Sakura grabs Sasuke's arm and attempts to stop the attack, but Sasuke breaks through the attempt and smashes the ground anyway.

Bright light covered the area and exploded with a huge cloud of smoke.

Sasuke took a look around the bodies of Kakashi, Tsunade and Jiraiya were nowhere to be seen. Sakura was next to him, she was burned and fried, the pink hair had been turned a burned brown, her eyes closed and she showed no evidence of life.

Sasuke drops a slight tear and he mourns Sakura's death for 10 minutes before looking up at the moon.

"Ah, urgh." Sasuke's eyes turned different the pattern shifted and they burned with black fire.

Sasuke's mangekyou sharingan was awake.

"Itachi, I got this power and now you die." Sasuke left with only one more look at Sakura.

Sasuke left, but eyes looked on just behind a tree. "Sakura Haruno is dead, and by her teammate no less." Zetsu said before phasing through the floor.

Akatsuki Base

Zetsu phases through the ground in front of Naruto and Pain.

"Leader, Naruto it seems that Sakura Haruno has been killed."

Naruto was in shock, after things seemed to well now this.

"How?" Naruto asked.

"It was Sasuke." "He killed Sakura most likely on a chance to unlock his Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Sasuke." Naruto said in anger.

"Why?"

Pain spoke next "We will mourn this death in other time this is another reason to train harder my clanmate."

Naruto nodded in agreement.

Naruto held his arm up his palm at full power and the rock he aimed at smashed into pieces no resistance and no lag Naruto had perfected the technique.

Back at the murder site.

Sakura's body glowed a green light and in that light all the burns and flesh wounds healed in an instant. Sakura's eyes turned wide open. Tsunade and Jiraiya came they looked like they just fought a war. "It worked." Tsunade said tiredly.

It was a special jutsu one that can make the target dead for a limited time and then revive fully healed, however only those in the Senju clan can use it and they require massive amounts of chakra sometimes the chakra has to be from others to gain enough to work.

"Thank you lady Tsunade." Sakura said to her mentor.

"Sasuke." Sakura said worried of her teammate who attempted to kill her.

"Don't worry Sasuke got what he came for, the mangekyou sharingan, now he's going to find and try to kill his brother." Kakashi stated.

XXXXXX

"So Sasuke's coming for me?" Itachi said.

"Yes, the mangekyou sharingan in him has been awakened." Zetsu replied

"The time has come to tell him the truth, and to take what need." Itachi said walking off.

XXXXXX

Tobi, Pain and Konan in a room.

"So project endless Tsukuyomi only has 2 more tailed beasts needed. The one-tail and the nine-tails, right Pain?"

Pain wished Tobi had not brought that up, he wasn't sure to have Naruto killed.

"Tell Sidra, Hikari, Yukiko, Naruto, Hinata and Neji to capture the one-tail."

"Then, I will deal with the nine-tails myself."

"However I think that Sidra or Hinata may try to get into the way."

"What are you suggesting Madara?" Pain said looking at where this was going.

"We'll have to kill our newest members."

"Hmm." Pain and Konan had other thoughts they didn't think killing other members was a means of achieveing peace.

"Don't tell me you grew soft on Naruto, though he may be an uzumaki he is a jinchuuriki and he must be harvested for the bijuu." Tobi said in suspicion of Pain.

"Is there a way for him to live from the extraction?"

"Normally yes, but the nine-tails is subborn the host will die if it's forced out."

"I'm not sure about this." Konan said. "You too Konan?" Tobi said he wasn't amused.

"He will be the last to be harvested that's my final offer."
