Me: Hello once again my dear readers Snagiyo here to show to you the third installment of my Crimson Arts story.

Naruto: About time to. Do you realize how long it takes you to update these damn stories of yours.

Me: O.K. O.K. I kind of deserve that remark, but it not as easy as it looks making these stories.

Naruto: Yeah, yeah whatever just make sure that you don't disappoint the readers.

Me: As if I would ever try to do that. Oh btw thanks to those of you who sent me a review. I enjoy all the compliments. Also to those who want Sakura dead...I'll see what I can do. Also if theres any one who knows where I can get some of the Japanese names for the jutsus, it would greatly be appreciated because I'm not to sure on how to spell or say a lot of them.

Naruto: Didn't you mention something about a special scene in this chapter.

Me: Oh yeah, well thats for me to know and the audience to read and find out. I hope you like it.

Naruto: Snagiyo does not own me or any of the other Naruto characters, only his own characters and some of his own jutsus.

Me: (sniff) (sniff) it's not fair, it's just not fair, curse you cruel world.

CH 3: A New Face and a Proposition.

We now see ourselves in the room of one Uzamaki Naruto. It was a simple looking little home all except a few holes in the wall, some broke windows. Although the electricity still worked, there were a few chairs, a table in the kitchen, and some couches, and a bed...otherwise it was a somewhat decent living place.

Hinata was the first of the three to enter into the apartment followed by Naruto and Temari who were still snickering about today's earlier event with Sakura and Lee. The two women sat at the couch while Naruto sat in one of the living room chairs.

"Man, I still can't believe it of all the people" Temari said still snickering.

"Yeah I know Sakura and Lee hahahaha" laughs Naruto

"Well at least it seems that she gave up on Sasuke...finally" Hinata says muttering the last part.

"True, At least that gets rid of two annoyances" Temari says finally calm enough to speak normally.

"Annoyance one being Sakuras constant bragging and asking Teme on a date." Hinata stats.

"Annoyance two Lee continuously yelling at the top of his lungs 'FLAMES OF YOUTH', and asking Sakura to date him" Stats Naruto.

Everyone nodded at the statements made and then there was a slight silence then the wind mistress broke the silence.

"You know a lot of people thought the same thing of us"

The Hyuga Heir and blond jinchuuriki turn to face Temari both with smiles on their faces as they all remembered how this strange relationship came to be.

Flashback no jutsu.

Naruto along with his temporary team placement, which consisted of teammates Hinata Hyuga, Shino Auburame, and Kurenai Yuhi as sensei. They were given a mission to help escort a carrier to Suna and protect him from bandits, thieves, and the like.

"So how much longer till we get to Suna" asked Hinata

"Soon it should be just a few miles ahead" answered Kurenai

"Well hopefully we'll get there soon, cause so far we haven't seen a single bandit, thief, or missing nin all fu-" Naruto quickly change what he was about to say when he heard a low growl from Hinata who didn't care to much for foul language. "Uhhh flipping day" He sighed in relief when Hinata gave a thankful nod and looked back to the path.

Hinata changed a lot over the years. She hardly ever stuttered anymore and stood up for herself more often, and her self confidence has went though the roof since she started getting help from Naruto and the others.

They've all been traveling for a while now and they just pass through the border to Wind country. Now they were traveling in heat and sand with no trees or forests in site.

"Jeez how do they survive in this environment" Asked the blonde to no one in particular

"Stop complaining, jeez, besides Suna is only a mile or so away, I can smell it, and oddly the smell of a raccoon?" said a somewhat confused Kiba.

Naruto thought for a moment "Raccoon? Oh shit, that could only mean" his thought were interrupted by a giant wave of sand heading straight for him

Along with a shout of "YO UZUMAKI" which came from the top of the wave.

Unfortunately for our blonde haired hero everyone but him was able to doge the wave while he was still standing there.

"Ah shit, it official now I really hate desserts" stated Naruto as the wave of sand collapsed on top of him.

Flashback no jutsu Kai

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

We refind our friends in the small apartment of one Naruto Uzumaki. the two blondes a one Hyuga are currently having a good laugh at the event of their flashback.

"Man do you remember how long it took us to dig me out of there" chuckled Naruto

"Yeah" chuckled the two women, but the laughing stopped when they heard a knock at the door. They then heard a voice.

"Excuse me, but is this the Uzumaki residence" asked the voice. The three occupants in the room didn't recognize the voice so they waited to see if the voice would say anything else. "I'm looking for a Naruto Uzumaki, I'm here to speak for a friend of mine, and I'm not a villager so you don't need to worry about a mob." the voice said again

"The doors open" Naruto said, but for a precaution he hid some clones around the room, as he still wasn't sure of a threat.

The door opened to reveal a boy about their age maybe a year or two older. He had short flat brown hair and brown eyes, he wore a black long sleeve with a black coat over it, he wore a pair of blue baggy pants with many pockets, and a kunai and shuriken pouch on each leg, and black combat boots. On his back were two swords, the handles of both blades were both black and red, with gold on the end, the sheaths were also black and red with a dragon design on them, they were placed diagonally right on his back. He then had another weapon, they couldn't tell what it was from the purple cloth that covered it entirely, it went diagonally left.

"So I take it you the spiky blonde guy is Naruto Uzumaki" said the person.

"And if I am?" Naruto questioned

"Well if you were said Blonde then I would say that my friend would like to talk to you face to face. I would also like to note that you two have more in common then you think" the person said while he rested his left elbow in his right hand, and tapped his cheek with his index.

Naruto seemed to get what he was saying while the two girls thought nothing of it.

"Oh by the way the clones aren't needed since as I said I am of no threat to you, and won't be unless provoked." Said the person nonchalantly.

The three were shocked to find that he could detect the clones so easily. "Now then back to what I was saying before, My friend would like me to escort you to an old abandoned warehouse, which happens to be at an old hangout of yours. You're quite well known around there."

Naruto nodded as he knew where it was he was talking about. So far he has sensed no hostility or lies come from this guy, but he was still on guard just in case the guy tried something.

"Ahh I can't believe how rude I'm being I should have introduced myself first. Maybe knowing my name will help with your trust my name is Duko Sokema.(1) Now shall we go Uzumaki-san, you can bring your friends if you want." Said the now addressed Duko.

"Very well then, but know that if I feel that I or my friends are threatened then I won't hesitate to defend them or me." Naruto said.

"Very well Uzumaki-san" Duko said and led Naruto the girls to the place for the meeting.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

They have been walking for a few hours now and they have yet to reach their destination.

"Oh, for kami's sake are w anywhere close to this dump yet" complained an agitated Temari.

"Yes we're very close, Just be patient, trust me my friend will keep plenty entertained" Duko said with a smile.

"Hey kit, something's not righthere." Kyubii told Naruto through their mental link. "What do you mean" "well for one thing theres a strong scent of snakes around here, but I can't tell if it belongs to Orochimaru, so be careful, I don't want us dieing just yet." "Right" Thought Naruto not liking the sound of meeting the Hebi-teme yet."Besides I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you little vixens yet, hehehe." laughed the Kyubii perversely. Naruto's eye started to twitch quite violently at that comment ,but let it slide...for now at least.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Well here we are" Duko said when they finally got to the warehouse. It looked like any other abandoned warehouse so I won't go into detail. Duko went to knock at the door which opened afterwards, duh, "After you my kind sir and madams" Duko said gesturing them in first.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

When they stepped in the door slammed shut and the entire warehouse was pitch black. then they heard a booming voice with a small hiss "Well hello my guesssstsss...and" Kyubii suddenly stood full alert " OH SHIT KIT GET" "WELCOME TO HELL!" And the entire room was set ablaze with fire. Demons rose fourth from the ground. Humans in cages and strapped to rocks whaling in pure anguish. And finally from the flames rose a being of pure black fire, crimson blood-shot eyes, green slime dripped from his disgusting yellow teeth. And the other demons started to gather around the beast readying their weapons flames and steel. Then the great beast spoke "NOW YOU PATHETIC VERMIN PREPARE TO BE...ENTERTAINED!! NOW EVERYONE ELECTRIC SLIDE" The best then do the electric slide. "NOW THE CHICKEN DANCE!!" They all did the Chicken dance. "AND FINALLY GIA, LEE FINISH US UP."

"YOSH LETS GO LEE"

"YOSH GIA-SENSEI LET US SPREAD OUR FLAMES OF YOUTH"

"LEE"

"GIA-SENSEI"

"LEE"

"GIA-SENSEI"

And cue creepy sunset scene.

"THANK YOU YOU'VE BEEN AN AWESOME CROWD PEACE OUT!!" And with that the beast, the demons, the flames, the people in total agony disappeared.

Wee now see our friends with a mixture of expressions. They ranged from pure horror to disgust, from shock to annoyance, and finally all out...ummm I don't even know how to describe the others.

All and all there was only one phrase that could clearly describe the event that just happened "WHAT IN MOTHER FUCKIN HELL WAS THAT?"

Then they heard something else the sound of what appeared to be...laughing?

"HAAAAAAAAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA OH MAN YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN YOUR FACES THAT WAS FUCKIN HILARIOUS HAHAHAHA."

The group look over to see a boy who was what looked like maybe nineteen who was laughing as if his laugh was depending on it.

The guy had short spiky black hair, you couldn't see his eyes from the sunglasses he wore. He wore a dark red sleeveless shirt that was covered by a black trench coat with red snake designs going down both arms, and a golden twin-headed dragon going up the back and the heads showing at the shoulders, he also had an amulet around his neck. It was a black orb with a second red orb inside it with snakes wrapped all around it. He wore black ANBU pants, he had boots with steel embedded around the frame.

"HAHAHA, OH MAN, HAHAHA, HAHA...uhhh...ha...ha...erm...uhhh...hehheh" the man's laughing stopped as soon as he felt the killing intent pouring from the three shinobi. Especially one spiky haired blonde.

the next sent a chill down the mans very core. "HACHIBI NO HACHIMATA!! JUST WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!! AND IN A CONTAINER NO LESS!!" Bellowed the Kyubii possessed Naruto.

The voice that was heard was from the man who said in a hiss. "Well now is that any way to greet an old friend, besides even you have to admit that that was funny, man I wish I could have seen your face outside of that cage."

The two girls looked at the Kyubii possessed Naruto and asked in unison. "You know this lunatic?"

KyuNaru(this is what I'm calling Naruto when possessed) sighed and nodded "Unfortunately I do he is one of the Bijuu Hachibi no Hachimata the eight-headed snake(is that right?) but I don't know the kid"

Then the guy finally stopped laughing and stood up and stared straight at Naruto and the girls and did something no one had expected, along with making a certain super perv proud. "You don't know me." The group looked at him and nodded "Well then...ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MY SELF!!" The man proclaimed doing weird dances and poses. While watching this Naruto's eye was twitching up a storm and said "no way in fucking hell, no, please no, for the love of kami-sama, ANYTHING BUT THAT." Panicked the blonde.

"I AM KNOWN THROUGH OUT ALL THE ELEMENTAL NATIONS! MEN ACROSS THE SHINOBI WORLD HAVE BEEN KNOW TO RUN IN TERROR OF MY VERY PRESENCE! I HAVE MADE WOMEN ALL ACROSS THE NATIONS FAINT FROM THE PLEASURE OF MY ULTIMATE CHARM AND GOOD LOOKS! I HAVE BEATEN ARMIES OF MORE THAN A THOUSAND SHINOBI WITHOUT BLINKING AN EYE! I AM KNOWN BY MANY AS THE CRIMSON FANG, THE DEVIL'S SERPENT, BUT MY MOST FAMOUS NAME OF ALL THE SNAKE DANCER!! SNAGIYO SUMARA(2)!!" Bellowed the man striking a killer pose.

Everything was silent...more silence...more silence...and more silence...and then three sounds were heard.

THUD

THUD

THUD

Everyone looked to see Naruto, Hinata, and Temari all passed out on the ground.

"Huh, I think we might have went a liiiiiittle bit overboard on them." Said the now proclaimed Snagiyo.

"Jeez, ya think?" Duko said sarcastically.

"And what do you mean we? You were the one who used that comedy of hell jutsu on them"

"True, but you were the one who brought them here without telling them about it." Said Snagiyo

"...This is true." Said Duko

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Me: Well there you have it the third installment of Crimson Arts. I hope it was enjoyable.

Naruto: Kinda dull in my opinion. And uhhh, ya mind telling us why your in the story.

Me: Well, I was getting to that so (1) The name Duko Sokema I completely made up the name, I think, so if it doesn't sound very Japanese like, thats why.(2) the reason for me being in here is well because, Snagiyo Sumara, for me, is just an alter ego, so whenever I put me in here its not me its the actual Snagiyo character that I made. So please don't be upset with me.

Naruto: I guess thats acceptable, but still. Oh heres a question, was it just me or did you seem to make Garra look like one of those surfer guys.

Me: Ummm in all honesty I wasn't even trying to do that it just ended up like that. Well now I'm blabbing way to much so I'll just leave with this. Please review so I can upload another chapter to this.

Ja Ne

Naruto: Oh and before you leave the story could you probably tell us how to set up a poll?
