-----------------

Naruto sat in front of his fire, smoking a cigarette slowly, inhaling deeply, and thinking about what had happened sense he had escaped the Akatsuki base 6 months ago. In that time, everything he thought he knew (well okay, not everything) had been completely trashed and discarded like it was nothing. In that time, he had been dragged into a plot of unimaginable proportions, trained till he couldn't even walk for two days, gotten himself in the bingo book listed as an A-class mercenary-nin, and started playing the guitar (which had become a great passion of his). Naruto thought back to the begging of the second month sense he had escaped.

----flash back: 1 month sense Naruto's escape-----

Naruto sat in a clearing, smoking a cigarette, and thinking about how he could train his body further, for half way threw last month, he had realized that, even though he was at sanin level, he would lose a fight with the other sanin, for they had many more Ninjutsu, Tiejutsu, Genjutsu, speed and various other tricks that they could use. Not to mention that all the members of Akatsuki elite where also sanin level, and they worked in pairs. He also had to find a way to beat Itachi's sharing an, for he had learned, it could predict his movements and counter them, not to mention copy his Jutsu. Naruto growled slightly in frustration, before muttering to himself.

"if only he weren't so damn fast." it was about five seconds after that, that he realized what he just said, and the power behind it. Standing up, he paced back and forth thinking aloud to himself (a habit he had somehow developed) about various ways to get faster. He was already as fast as an ANDU division leader, but Itachi was way faster than that.

"Think…think…" he kept muttering to himself. After about five minutes of this, he stopped, and if he hadn't lost the ability to do so from Smileys torture

, he would be grinning wildly.

"Weights! If I where weights for long enough, I would greatly increase my speed quickly…shit…I have no money to even buy good enough weights to use…wait…maybe Kyuubi-sensai has a way." naruto was about to try and contact the Fox, when said fox's voice sounded in his head.

"about time you figured it out kit, I was starting to worry that the dead brained old you had come back. And yes, I do have a way to get waights. But this is more like you creating waights, more spicificly gravity seals. With gravity seals, your whole body will feel the weight, not just the area you put weights on. Now, I need you to do exactly as I say…"

It was about 10 hours later that Naruto was finally done. He sat there in the middle of a clearing, his shirt off, and a large seal on his bare chest. It was made with a special kind of ink that Kyuubi had taught him how to make, a mixture of blood, ink, and charka from the person who is getting the seal (in this case, Naruto). The seal itself was to complex for anyone who sees it to describe. Naruto sat perfectly still, and his eyes closed, his breathing deep. Suddenly Kyuubi's voice rang out in his head, the fox saying only two words, but loudly and clearly.

"now kit!!"

Naruto's eyes flashed open suddenly, and he started going threw hands seals quicker than most ANBU could. This went on for close to 10 minutes before Naruto shouted out in a loud voice.

"SEAL!!" then he slammed his hand onto his chest, right on the middle of his seal. As soon as he did that, he fell right onto his back, and left a Naruto sized indent on the ground. Naruto couldn't move anything on his body, but his arms and hands, and that alone was very hard. Grumbling slightly, he contacted the fox in his body.

"What the fuck, Kyuubi!!??" the only response he got was loud barking laughter echoing in his mind. After about 15 minutes, Kyuubi could talk, but he was still laughing as he did.

"Oh…(laugh)…oh my kami…(wheeze, laugh)…that was so…(laugh)…funny…(wheeze, laugh)…" it was clear that he was having trouble breathing, so Naruto waited and gave him a chance to calm down. It took 10 minutes for the fox to stop laughing, then another 10 for him to be able to breath enough to talk, and even then when ever the fox looked at Naruto, who was still stuck to the ground, he started laughing again, only to stop and grip his now aching side. After about 50 minutes of this, he could finally talk to Naruto, but he had a weird fox like grin on his face, which he projected in Naruto's mind. Naruto growled slightly, before speaking.

"why cant I move, how much weight did you make me add?" he asked Kyuubi, who grinned wider before voicing his response.

"350 pounds…" he replied, and struggled not to start laughing again. Naruto frowned deeply, then took a deep breath, before unleashing his fury onto the fox inside him.

"WHAT THE HELL KYUUBI!!! WHAT IF A NINJA COMES, AND DICIDES TO KILL ME!? WHAT THEN, HUH!!? AND EVEN THEN, I STILL HAVE A LOT OF TRAINING TO DO!!!" Kyuubi didn't even wince the least bit, but grinned, before sitting down in his cage. He thought for a moment, before replying to Naruto.

"Chillaxe kit, I have a way you can solve both problems. You said you could move your arms, right?" Naruto tried, and could move his arms a lot easier than he could anything else. Giving a curt yes to the fox, he waited for what the fox had to say, thinking about what could he ever do to fix this. Soon, he was answered by the fox, who had, for once, thought up something before hand.

"okay kit, I want you to form a Kage Bunshin, then send it off into the tree's, and tell it to look at something, and memorize what it is. Let me know when you have done that" Naruto had no idea what the fox was up to, but he did it anyway. Forming a Kage Bunshin, Naruto sent it off into the tree's. once he had done everything Kyuubi asked, he waited for the fox to tell him what to do next.

"good, now release the Jutsu and dispel the clone." Kyuubi said, leaving Naruto utterly confused. But once Naruto had dispelled the clone, it all became clear, as he was suddenly sent images of a little chip monk that he knew for sure he had not seen. Then it hit him, his clone had memorized that, and when he dispelled it, the information went back to him. But…that had never done that before…because his clones where destroyed. It only worked when they where dispelled.

Inside Naruto's head, Kyuubi grinned at his kit, who had figured out what he was talking about. Soon enough, a voice rang in his head.

"Kyuubi, that's brilliant, if I make enough clones using the Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu you taught me, I can make several groups go learn different things, then after a day of training, I dispel them all, and I get all there knowledge. But… I don't have anything to give them, and I don't think I can make as many as I want, which is like…1500... Well, I know I can make around 200. That should be good right?" Naruto asked Kyuubi, who smirked wider. When Naruto sensed that Kyuubi had an idea, he shuddered, but grew excited as well.

"Well kit, I could lend you some of my charka so you can make that many, but there are several things that I want you to study as you train. More Tiejutsu, Ninjutsu, Kenjutsu, Trap making, Strategy, Stealth, and Sealing. That should be all the things--"


"--no--" Naruto said, cutting him off. Kyuubi wondered what Naruto was thinking, as they can think without the other being heard. He sat there, and waited for Naruto to speak. Naruto, however, had just thought of something, and that something, if left untrained, could put all training he could do to waste. But if he did train in it, he could take out opponents without even trying.

'if I train in that…I could take down opponents without trying…it would be so easy, plus make things funnier to watch there confused faces…I never thought of it as a real ninja art...not till I meet Itachi, who is a master at it.' Naruto thought to himself, getting more and more excited as he thought. Eventually, he spoke his thoughts out loud to Kyuubi.

"make 250 extra clones, and make 50 of them the guards. The other 200, make them train in Genjutsu till they can cast them without hand seals. And can dispel them without trying, like it's a second nature. Then use 100 of the other 200 to start trying to create new technique's, and use one to find out my element preference, though I have a feeling its going to be wind or fire or maybe water. Also, use the left over 100 to study any and all weapons arts out there, from puppets to senbon. Find out how to counter anything, and how you recognize anything. That okay Kyuubi-sensai?" Naruto asked the fox, who was smirking more and more. His kit had just discovered one of the most useful ninja arts, the art of illusion. This boy was smart indeed.

"its fine by me, I was hoping you'd find the use of Genjutsu. Now, I'll feed you some of my chakra, so get ready…" Kyuubi said, as he funneled some chakra into the boy. Naruto felt it building up, and made the hand sign for his Jutsu. When he finally thought he had enough, he screamed out.

"Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!!" and just like that, 1750 clones appeared, and all of them sat down right away, and waited. Naruto conversed with the fox for a second, then went threw another set of seals, before once again calling out.

"demonic summoning: demon's gift!" according to Kyuubi, this Jutsu would only work if the demon gave you permission to use what you were summoning, and sense Kyuubi gave him permission, he figured it work. What Naruto didn't bet on, was a weird rift like thing opening in the sky right above him, and dumping out a huge amount of scrolls, covering Naruto completely, and hurting him quite a bit. The clones quickly went a grabbed a scroll or two, till there where no more scrolls covering Naruto. Then they all went of, and started to train.

It took Naruto 5 hours of strain and work to stand up, and when he did, it was almost sundown, he had about an hour left, so he just started running laps around the huge clearing they where in, that was by now filled with a great deal of people who where all doing something and all looked alike, manly his clones. After an hour of running, his muscles ached, and Naruto moved, rather slowly, to his camp. Once he was there, he dispelled all of the clones, and immediately passed out from mental strain.

Two days later, he woke up with a head ache, but with a whole lot more knowledge than he ever thought he'd need. Naruto, for the first time in along time, grinned just slightly. This was the SHIT!!

---End flashback---

Naruto smiled, he had come a very long way in those two months of training, but also during it, he discovered that, even though he could take on the sanin's and more than likely win, he still wouldn't come out of that fight without at least one limb missing. He was defiantly strong enough to beat them, but he lacked the experience he needed to beat them. But that could be made up, that's for sure. But for now, he had something he had to do, he would do it, but would not enjoy it.

Standing up, he put out his cigarette, and started walking. His outfit had changed sense he realized that even though it looked wicked, it got in the way a lot. He now wore a black sleeveless hoddie with a black Jonin jacket, his swords still strapped to his back. On his forearms he had cloths that covered the majority of the length, and fingerless gloves. He had on a pair of Tripp pants that were black (if you don't know what this is, google it and go to images to see it, I love these pants). He had on combat boots, and had the hood of his hoddie up, with a Genjutsu he had made that covered all his face, no matter what angle or light was on it. All that ever showed where his eyes.

Walking down the road for about 15 minutes, he came to the gates of the place that thought he was dead. He growled slightly, as he didn't want to risk them finding out it was him yet. Two Chunin guards approached him cautiously, but Naruto looked at them once, and they both feel to the ground, whimpering and shaking. Grinning to himself, Naruto walked into the village and towards the Hokage tower.

----back at the gates----

Four ANBU members jumped down in front of the still traumatized Chunin. They managed to get one of them to talk, and when he could talk enough to tell them, they asked what happened. What the Chunin said scared them.

"I…it was horrible…he came..oh god…(sob)…I'm so sorry…" the Chunin stammered, crying openly, pure terror on his face. The ANBU captin shook him, and asked him who came, and what he did. The Chunin shook even more.

"I…it was…that one…one mercenary nin…(sob)…the A-ranked one…th…(shudder, loud sob)…the Dream Maker…he…he made me see…(sob)…horrible things…oh god…oh my god…one look…and (sob) and I couldn't even move…th…then...then the images came…(sob)…death…torture

…I saw and did it all…oh my god…" after that the Chunin couldn't talk anymore cause he was sobbing so hard. The ANBU sighed, and called for a medic team over his radio to pick the two up. Then he called for two more teams of ANBU to back him up, the Dream Maker had entered the village. After giving the teams a description of the Dream Maker that the other Chunin had managed to stammer out, they went after him.

----back with Naruto---

Naruto was walking down the street, and even though he was getting some odd looks, nothing had happened so far. But, as soon as he thought that, he sensed ANBU all around him, and after another 5 minutes of walking, during which 10 more ANBU arrived, the ANBU finally decided to make a move. They all jumped down around Naruto, and called out for him to stop. Naruto sighed, then stopped turning around to face the ANBU who had told him to stop. Naruto looked at him, noted the Owl mask, and the white clock that signified him as a captin. Along with him, that made 5 captains present, along with ten regular members.

"what's up Owl-san, did I do something wrong?" Naruto asked, his voice causing most of the ANBU members eyes to widen in surprise. His voice meant that he had just finished puberty, placing him about 13 to 14 years old. The Owl ANBU shook of his surprise, and spoke once again.

"I'm sry kid, but you're going to have to come with us for questioning." Owl said, causing Naruto to sigh. Naruto then moved his hand to one of his breast pockets, making all of the ANBU stiffen in expectation of an attack. But Naruto pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. Sticking one in his mouth, he lit it, and took a deep drag. Blowing it out, he looked at the Owl ANBU, then his eyes narrowed suddenly.

"Catch me first." he said, looking dead serious at the ANBU. At the same time, he was forming a Jutsu that he had created during his training. The Jutsu created a bubble of wind that surrounded the foot, and pushed against the ground with it. Sense wind cause's very little (if any) friction on most surfaces, opting instead to slide over the top, it made his speed shoot up. a lot.

"we will if we must boy, now come… you have no chance against 15 ANBU, even if you are the A-class ninja codenamed: Dream Maker." Owl said, his patience growling slightly then. Naruto grinned slightly, then reached into his pocket, making all the ANBU tense again. Instead of a weapon of some sort, he pulled out a white small device, that none of them have ever seen before. Grabbing what the ANBU recognized as headphones, he connected them to the device, then looked at the ANBU again.

"Dream Maker huh?…well…it has a nice ring to it. I like the fact I've made a name for myself." Naruto said, looking at the ANBU. Pushing the play button on the device, Naruto tensed, making all the ANBU go on guard. Turning suddenly, he got ready to run. The Owl ANBU saw this, and shouted out loudly.

"GET HIM!!"

---a minute earlier---

Team 7 had just rounded a corner, on there way to the Hokage's office for a mission, when they saw ahead of them a large group of ANBU black-ops. Kakashi's eye's narrowed slightly, as only a-class or higher would get that many ANBU on them. Approaching cautiously, he looked back at his team, who had already drawn there weapons and were along side him. Nothing much had changed about them, and the hole in the team created by Naruto had yet to be filled. But he suspected that was cause neither he nor team sevens remaining members wanted it to be filled. They where about ten feet outside the circle, ready to back up the ANBU if needed, when suddenly they heard an ANBU shout out.

"GET HIM!!"

----with Naruto, after shout----

(A/N READ THIS!!! Okay guys, at this point, the coolest song to listen to, is down with the sickness by disturbed. It fits this perfectly.)

Naruto jumped up high, over the ANBU in the circle, but two of the quicker ANBU jumped up on either side of him. They got ready to strike him down, but Naruto saw. Using his Jutsu on his feat, he used an air blow to twist suddenly, and go a little higher. The ANBU fell right under where he was now.

Naruto twisted again, kicking on ANBU in the head, sending him straight down, before twisting more, and kicking the other in the chin, sending him up and away. Twisting more, he righted out, landing right outside the circle. Four more ANBU where there. Shooting forward, Naruto jumped, kicking one ANBU in the side of the face, sending him spiraling. Turning to the others, he quickly formed hand seals, finishing, before calling out.

"Futon no Hyoton: hyouketsu okeru basho!! Large globes of water shot out of Naruto's mouth, hitting the other 3 ANBU, and 1 second after getting hit, the ANBU froze in place, turning into ice like statues. Naruto turned, and shot off towards the Hokage tower. He was getting closer, when an ANBU unit jumped down in front of him. Now Naruto knew that ANBU units had 5 members, a captin and 4 regular ANBU.

Before Naruto could think more about this, one ANBU threw 5 kunai at him. Naruto brought out his hand, and caught them all, but before he could throw them back, a voice rang out.

"Katon: Karyu Endan" Naruto looked forward just in time to see the ANBU captin shoot the fire dragon out of his mouth. It was too close to dodge, so the ANBU were certain they got him. They waited for the smoke to clear, but when it did, all they saw was a chard log. The ANBU captin gasped loudly, before speaking.

"Kawarimi!?" before they could say anything else, another voice called out, making them turn and see the one they where hunting on top of a building. They turned just in time to see a giant dragon of fire, much larger than any of them had ever seen before, come out of his mouth.

"Katon Ryuuka no Jutsu!!" Naruto called out, watching all of the ANBU scatter to avoid it. As soon as they all lost sight of him, he jumped off the building.

As soon as the smoke cleared, the ANBU team looked around, trying to find the Dream Maker. As they looked, they started to become more and more cautious. They could almost see clearly by now, but still no sign. Suddenly, a strange mist started to appear in the area.

'Kirigakure no Jutsu' Naruto thought to himself, watching the mist roll in. as soon as it was thick enough so no one else could see, he took out a cloth with a blank forehead protector on it, and covered his eyes, raising his other sense's. he could sense the chakra of his pray, and made his way to the closest one.

The ANBU who was closest to Naruto didn't even notice him coming. Said ANBU was trying to pear through the mist when suddenly he heard a soft voice behind him before all went dark.

"Tanuki Neiri no Jutsu" Naruto watched as the ANBU was forced into a deep sleep at just his touch. He had learned the original version of this technique from Kyuubi, then modified it to fit his needs. Looking around, he headed to the next ANBU, and knocked him out with a chop to the neck. He then made his way to the next ANBU who had started to notice the lack of noise from his comrades. Naruto walked right up behind him, but the mist still hid him. Naruto took off his headband, reviling his eyes. Walking up to the ANBU, Naruto tapped him on the shoulder, making him turn around quickly, and Naruto looked him in the eyes, making him drop to the ground, a powerful Genjutsu on him.

Naruto put the headband back on, then looked at the last ANBU. Grinning, he got ready to dispatch him. He would make sure to take them out like fresh academy students.

---Hokage's office 5 minutes later: team seven is receiving there mission---

"your mission will be to guard a man as he travels. He is taking something along that is vary valuable, so much so that enemy ninja might attack, so its B-ranked." the third told team seven. "you will be joined by Hana Inuzuka in this mission. Also joining you is a mercenary nin who will be guarding the actual valuables himself."

All of team seven plus Hana scoffed at this. A merc nin? The merc wouldn't last in a real fight, there useless and weak. Kakashi was about to voice this, when he was cut off by the door opening, and in walked…

---street, 5 minutes earlier---

The ANBU captin looked around cautiously. He wouldn't be taken down by this punk, no way in hell. He was an ANBU captin, he would not lose. Not now, not ever! He would find this kid, and beat him do-

"Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu" Naruto called out, pulling the ANBU down into the ground. Dispelling the clone that had done the deed, he got rid of the mist, then knelt down in front of the ANBU captin, and flicked him on the head. The ANBU captin growled, as Naruto raced off to the tower.

---Present time: Hokage's office---

Team seven and Hana looked to see who walked in, and the second team seven saw, they where in front of the Hokage weapons drawn. The figure looked at them, then spoke.

"Yo, I'm the merc, call me dream. Lets try not to kill each other." Naruto said, smirking in his head. This was going to be fun… lots and lots of fun.

…

…

…

…lots of fun..

…

…

…this was gonna suck!!
