Sorry for the late update. I was REALLY bored, and I couldn't think of ideas. I will most likely have another chapter up on Sunday. I already got another review! Just to tell all of you readers, you will be receiving updates really slowly now, so you can say boo now. I usually update on the weekends, so expect slightly slow updates from me. I am not one of those crazy awesome "everyday updating writers." I have seen one though, and he was a f****** good author. That was during the winter time though, so it could have been his "Winter Vacation." As I said, I got a new review, so I am especially putting this story up, to honor the nice, kind person that sent a review. (Laugh) I am really doing this just for another review; otherwise, you would be receiving a chapter during next weekend. Just remember one thing, guys, MY SPRING BREAK IS OVER! That means less updating, less words in my chapters, less chapters, and most likely, fewer reviews. Have a nice time reading the story! Disclaimer: I don't Naruto, and I never will! I only own my OC's...and my story. P.S.- The XxXxXxXxXxX means a change in location. Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or the characters in Naruto. I only own my OCs.

Chapter 2: Tsuchikage
Naruto was leaning in on his chair, awaiting the new S-rank mission.
Meanwhile, the young Uchiha was just about to know his new sensei, and who was in his team.
XxXxXxXxXxX
Sasuke sat up in his seat unusually, hoping that his sensei; and his teammates weren't weak or drawbacks in his quest; nay, ambition to kill Itachi and restore his clan.
'Who is my sensei going to be?'
Iruka started to announce the teams.
"Team 7 will be Uchiha Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura."
Iruka quickly read the note and thought of an excuse.
"What about our third member, Iruka-sensei?" Sakura asked.
Of course, she didn't care about the third member, all she cared about was "her precious" Sasuke.
"Your third member will meet you up with your sensei a bit later. He is a new kid."
'Stupid new kid slows down my training to defeat Itachi!' Sasuke thought.
'What is the council thinking? To have an ANBU member act as part of the squad Sasuke is in? The council must have gone crazy!' Iruka thought.
While Iruka was thinking, the Sandaime was in a heavy situation.
XxXxXxXxXxX
"So what is this S-rank mission, Hokage-sama?"
"Well Kitsune, we have a non-ANBU mission for you, so you can take off your mask, and I will be referring to you in code-name form. (Not ANBU form, just code-name form. Like Tenzo. His code-name was Yamato.) Your code-name for this mission will be.... I don't have a code-name for you yet!" the old Kage looked away, "You will have to be referred to by your real name. I know you don't want to, but you have to for this mission."
Naruto removed his mask and sat down.
"Naruto, you will have to do something that is really crazy, yet an S-rank mission. Do you accept?"
Sarutobi knew that Naruto could not turn down an S-rank mission, so he did it on purpose so Naruto would accept before he gave the briefing.
"Of course, Hokage-sama, I accept."
Sarutobi gave him the briefing, and let's just say that Naruto wasn't really happy.
"What the hell? I have to baby-sit some ******* kids?"
'Well, at least he showed emotion in the ******* part of his talking. Maybe he is getting somewhere.'
XxXxXxXxXxX
Kakashi had read the note he had received.
'What the **** is the Hokage thinking if he puts....him on a Genin team? These are not hard-core killers, this is the next generation of ninja! How dare he put Sasuke Uchiha with a hard-boiled killer!' Kakashi thought.
XxXxXxXxXxX
'There must have been some specific reason Hokage-sama put....the boy....on the Uchiha's team. Otherwise it will lead to just pain, blood, destruction, and who knows what more?'
Ibiki had been thinking about what the Hokage had done. He had met Kitsune many times, but he was never able to cure him like he could to Inu (Dog) and Inu had been cured after a few months. Ibiki had worked with this kid for about a year, and he was never able to crack the inner shell he had within him.
'He was just something else,' Ibiki thought.
XxXxXxXxXxX
"What is Sarutobi thinking? He put my very best student; one better than the Uchiha could ever be, on the Uchiha's team! That blasted ******* piece of junk!" Danzo said aloud.
"Master, maybe I may be of some use now that the boy is gone?" the boy asked.
"Yes, you may be the very next. But you will have to wait. My old student is already falling into the old Sarutobi's hands. That is not something I am proud about. At all!" Danzo said.
XxXxXxXxXxX
Kakashi had went to area where his Genin team was supposed to meet.
On the roof.
There, a new generation would emerge.
Either hard-boiled killers.
Or nice, kind elite Shinobi.
It all depended on the Jounin of Konohagakure no Sato. The Hidden Leaf Village....
"Hey look, Sasuke-kun! It's our sensei!" Sakura screamed.
".....," Sasuke said nothing.
'Sasuke is the emo avenger of the group.
Sakura is probably the fan-girl/dead-weight of the group.
And Uzumaki Naruto, who isn't here is probably the strongest, quickest, and most experienced of them all, including myself.'
Of course, Kakashi had done many mission, yet he had not come close to "The Weapon's" record of missions. Over ten-thousand missions. And this boy was less than twenty years old. Imagine what would happen if this atrocity continued. Konoha would be the strongest of them all, but with a great price. The price would be a man; a human sacrifice. A Jinchuuriki, the art of human sacrifice.
"Aren't you supposed to teach us?" Sasuke asked.
"Yes, but we are waiting on our third student if you haven't noticed," Kakashi replied.
'That fag of a third student. I'll kill him once he gets here! Then our sensei will have to focus all of the attention on me!' Sasuke thought.
Naruto arrived in the middle of the field, while Sasuke charged at him, ready to do a Katon Jutsu.
"You aren't that good you know. You wouldn't stand up to me! So stop your stupid act of your stupid mind, and start to fight me!" Sasuke said.
"You don't have a chance defeating a god, so you will come no closer to defeating me," Naruto said.
"Why don't you fight? Too scared that you will lose against me?" Sasuke said.
"You stood no chance against Itachi, so you will have no chance against me."
"YOU!!!!!" Sasuke said.
Sasuke charged towards Naruto, yet Naruto pushed him away with just a finger.
"Don't even try to attack me. You'll stand no chance at all."
"Don't underestimate me!" Sasuke screamed.
Kakashi appeared in the middle of them both, ready to stop the fight.
"That is enough you two, no fighting in this squad."
'He could murder us all, yet I wouldn't be able to stop him. I hope the Hokage said to obey the Jounin sensei's orders or I am completely toast, along with my students,' Kakashi thought.
"You should take the boy somewhere where I can't touch him, and he can't disturb me. Otherwise he is toast," Naruto said in the ANBU hand signs to Kakashi.
"Now, we....never mind."
'Naruto would never do a teamwork exercise,' Kakashi thought.
"Tell me your name, likes, dislikes, dreams, and hobbies."
"Ok, my name is Sakura Haruno, my dreams are," she stared at Sasuke dreamily, "My likes are," again she stared at Sasuke, "My dislikes are the dumb boys at the academy, now Genin, and my hobbies are...," Sakura finished by looking at Sasuke dreamily.
"You, emo-boy, you are next."
"One, I am not emo, two, I have no likes, I dislike a lot, I have no hobbies other than training, and I have a dream; no ambition, to kill a certain man."
"Blond-boy, you're next."
'That would show if he had emotions. I hope the Genin didn't catch on to that,' Kakashi thought.
Of course, they didn't. Sakura was staring at Sasuke, and Sasuke was brooding.
"I have no likes, dislikes, dreams, or hobbies."
'That was short. He is a bit strange,' Sakura thought.
Of course, Sasuke payed no attention to it.
"Team, we will be having some D-ranked missions starting tomorrow, so get ready to do yard work, chase dogs and cats, organize papers and watch a bird or a bunch of kids."
As usual, Sasuke said nothing, but Sakura said, "Wow! Sasuke-kun! Tomorrow will be the first time we take a mission...together!"
Sakura was hoping that he would respond in some way other than grunting. Sadly, for Sakura, all Sasuke did, was grunt.
"Team 7 is dismissed."
The three went their separate ways and began to go home, for Sakura; go train, for Sasuke; or go to the ANBU headquarters, for Naruto.
----Next Day-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The three Genin, or should I say tow Genin and one ANBU had finished about seventy-four D-rank missions in the first three days.
'How are we going to fare in the Chuunin Exams with...the boy..in my squad? How many D-rank missions will we finish? I guess we'll take a C-rank,' Kakashi thought.
"Hey, Sasuke-kun, do you want to go to the park?" Sakura asked.
"NO!" the emo avenger replied.
"Why not?"
"NO!"
'Just great, I have two guys who don't talk in my squad. I wonder how well Ino-pig is faring,' Sakura thought.
Kakashi told the squad to stay put, and he also told them that he was going to get a C-rank mission for them.
Kakashi was walking down the street, but right then, a man jumped in front of him. If you could call it jumping. Itachi Uchiha, the killer of the Uchiha Clan, was right before his eyes. And he had no back-up.
'This would be one of the times I would gladly have Naruto on my team,' Kakashi thought as he made a Kage Bunshin to give his squad orders, while he was fending off Itachi Uchiha.
"Hatake Kakashi, once ANBU leader, defeated by the one and only "Golden Fox" of Konoha. This is our first time meeting, correct?" Itachi asked.
"Yes, but why are you here, Itachi? Have you nothing to do other than kill Konoha citizens?" Kakashi asked.
"I do have other matters to attend to, such as my little brother. I need to kill him, the last of the Uchiha in Konoha, and I also need to kill Uzumaki Naruto, the Kyuubi-host."
"You'll never get your hands on either one of them while I am their Jounin-sensei!" Kakashi said while getting into a Taijutsu stance.
"You are the sensei, eh? I think Uzumaki is stronger than you, being Kitsune, and the "Golden Fox" of Konoha."
"I think not! Otherwise, I wouldn't be the sensei of someone who is stronger than me, would I?"
"You probably would, I bet that Naruto is there to protect Sasuke. Alas, even I cannot take him on even grounds with out the Mangekyou Sharingan."
'WHAT?' Kakashi thought.
"How can you, an S-rank criminal in almost all of the major five Shinobi Villages, not be able to take down a mere boy? This is impossible!"
Naruto arrived on scene, from Kakashi's orders, leaving Sasuke and Sakura to get back-up. The missing-nin's name was not told, due to Sasuke's avenger attitude.
"I must be going now, I have to leave."
Itachi Uchiha left the area, unnoticed by the Konohagakure citizens.
"What kind of people are these citizens? They don't notice when an S-rank criminal comes, yet they notice when a little boy drops his Popsicle!" Kakashi said.
Kakashi continued the way to the Hokage tower, telling a Kage Bunshin to give Team 7 their original orders. Kakashi came into the Hokage's room, ready to ask for a new mission. But apparently, there was no Hokage there! Once more, Kakashi made a Kage Bunshin to give the original orders when he found Itachi; Kitsune would come, and the other two would get back-up.
XxXxXxXxXxX
'I'm getting sick of our sensei! First, he tells us he found a missing-nin, and he wants back-up, then he says he took care of it. Now he says to get back-up due to the Hokage missing!' Sasuke thought.
'What kind of sensei is this guy?' Sakura thought.
XxXxXxXxXxX
Kakashi felt immense chakra levels from the roof of the Hokage tower. It was a five-man invasion! Orochimaru, and four of his henchmen were standing on the roof fighting, and nobody noticed anything!
'I need to help Hokage-sama!' Kakashi thought.
Next he saw dead bodies near the area of the fight.
'What has happened here?'
Naruto arrived on scene, again.
'How is he standing on his head?' Kakashi thought, 'Of course! It is a new chakra exercise that he made. He does train a ton. Now back to the matter at hand...,'
"Naruto, I need you to help me fight Orochimaru and his henchmen, while the rest of Team 7 gets back-up!"
"..," was Naruto's response.
"I'll take that that is a yes," Kakashi said.
The two of them slowly reached the roof of the Hokage's Tower, only to find the Hokage fighting with Orochimaru.
"WTF are the Jounin doing? DO THEY NOT NOTICE THE HOKAGE FIGHTING ON THE ROOF?" Kakashi said.
"....," once again, no response.
"Hokage-sama, are you fine?" Kakashi asked.
"Who pummeled you into this state?" Naruto asked, almost sounding concerned.
Orochimaru stood on the other side of the roof, wearing his signature clothes, making him a weirdo.
"I did! What are you going to do, Kyuubi? Pummel me into the same state he is in? I think not! I am one of the Sannin for a reason!"
"Yeah right!" a voice came from behind Kakashi, which was Sarutobi Asuma, "You are just a weakling that was with the two Sannin in their team, so they called you a Sannin. You probably couldn't beat the Sandaime in his prime!"
"NO! Asuma! You must not!" the Sandaime said.
'…..weird. What are they talking about?' Kakashi thought.
"What are you going to do?" Kakashi said.
"One of two things. I may preform the Shiki Fuuin in Father's place, or use a Jutsu to make the Sandaime younger," Asuma said, calling his father in strange tenses.
"Why don't you just make him younger? That would be great! We could kill Orochimaru!" Kakashi said.
"...the price," Naruto said.
"The price is his life!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said.
"It is worth it, father."
"NO! I will do the Shiki Fuuin, the Death Reaper Seal by myself! I need no help!" Hiruzen said.
"...you will," Naruto said, "need us."
"We may be the distraction, and you may preform the Jutsu." Kakashi said.
"NO! I will not let you!"
"If you stop me, I will have you banished from Konoha. This is my word. The Hokage's word. You may NOT disobey the Hokage, as you may to your father," the Sandaime said.
"How did this start?" Kakashi asked.
"I'll explain while dying...no...fighting."
XxXxXxXxXxX
"Has the Jounin fell for the Genjutsu?" asked the first Jounin.
"Yes, he has been so caught up in what was happening that he never noticed he was in a Genjutsu."
"What is the mission, sir?" the second Jounin asked.
"First, I will give background information on the village and it's Shinobi. We have here Hatake Kakashi, who would have spoiled the whole plan if not for Tsuchikage-sama here, so now, part one of the plan is success. Hatake Kakashi could, as you all know, kill all of the Jounin in this unit before dying at the hand of Tsuchikage-sama. He is recognized as a Kage Level ninja, even though he is not. No one facing him has lived since he obtained the Sharingan, and we don't know how that happened. We have been in the village for a week, so you should know about it a lot now. We obtained the information from one of our scouts, the fourth Jounin," the third Jounin said.
"Why are we to be referred as, "First Jounin," or "Second Jounin?" the fourth Jounin said.
"So we are not found out about. There have been rumors...," the third Jounin said.
"They are not rumors. There is a second "Yellow Flash" even though it has been reported that he doesn't know...that jutsu," interrupted the Tsuchikage.
"So our mission is to...dispose of the trash."
'Why would the Tsuchikage come here to start a supposed war?' Naruto thought as he hid in the bushes using Hitoshirezu Dousei no Jutsu (Unseen Movements Technique).
'Are they trying to start a war? I am going to contact Hokage-sama.'
"I thought I heard something," the first Jounin said.
"Well, I heard nothing! So get back to spying!" the Tsuchikage said.
"Yes, Tsuchikage-sama."
'This will lead to war, but if that boy is gone, we can handle war!' the Tsuchikage thought.
XxXxXxXxXxX
Trapped.
That was what the real Tsuchikage was.
Down in the basement of a house.
Which was really an estate.
"Why the f*** did this have to happen to me? WHY? WHY AM I, THE TSUCHIKAGE STUCK IN A BASEMENT DUE TO SOME OF MY SUBORDINATES WANTING TO DEAFEAT A MAN WHO LOOKS LIKE THE YELLOW FLASH? ALL I CARE ABOUT IS MY VILLAGE! THEY MUST NOT GET IN A ONE-WAY WAR! WHY AM I SCREAMING ALL OF THIS?" the real Tsuchikage said. (The real Tsuchikage will be called Tsuchikage, while the fake one will be called, "Tsuchikage.")
XxXxXxXxXxX
Naruto reached the Hokage's room, and walked right in. No one would talk to that "monster" as they put it.
"Hokage-sama, the Tsuchikage and a few Jounin have come to Konoha and they are hiding in the bushes. The have trapped Inu (Dog) in a Genjutsu, which is the Tsuchikage's doing, herself."
"From my sources, the Tsuchikage is a guy. They haven't had a new Tsuchikage since Konoha no Kîroi Senko (Konoha's Yellow Flash) killed the Tsuchikage and was replaced, by a young man."
XxXxXxXxXxX
"If you aren't ready to kill the man, tell me now, so I can kill you," the Tsuchikage said.
THESE UPDATES WILL BE MUCH SLOWER NOW! I got in trouble, so now I can only write at some times. Hope you like the chapter!
