YukiKitsune95- thanks for the review I'm glad your enjoying it. Personally I enjoy stories were Naruto gets along with the Uchihas. As for your question, yes the third did know about the attack but I changed it in my fic so only a certain few knew about it and not all the Uchiha's were killed.
tensa-zangetsu102- um I thought I had said before but I'll say it again, no matter how long the gaps between my updates are I'm never going to abandon this story. My summer brake has stated so hopefully until I go on holiday I'll b posting regularly.
"Im glad that you could both make it here on such short notice" said Sarutobi from behind his desk. In front of him were his two students, the toad sage and self-claimed pervert Jaraiya and the Slug princess Tsunade. He had called them in to inform them on the news about Naruto.
"As soon as I heard it was about Naruto-kun I got here as quick as I could" said Tsunade slightly worried that what her sensei was about to say would be bad. The last thing she needed right no was another person deer to her gone.
" Have either of you caught wind of what happened to the Uchiha's three days ago?" Asked Sarutobi.
"Yeah I heard that a group of leaf non sabotaged the Uchiha meeting killing most of the elders. No one knows who done it or why if I heard right" spoke Jiraiya, thanks to his spy network he was always up to date with the latest news of the ninja world.
"Yes that is mostly correct except I know one of the ninja who took part in the attack. He was accompanied by two other ninja who we still need to figure out" replied Sarutobi to his student whilst the other sat there listening intently as to wanting to miss a single detail. Sarutobi continued "I'm guessing the pair of you wish to know who the ninja was am I right?"
He got a pair of nods in return so continued on "well the description I received from Tagiro was this,'It was a young boy with blonde spikey hair that I have only ever seen in Minato, his eyes were blue and filled with no emotion, the ones of killer. But what made him stand out the most was the three whisker like scars on each cheek.' I don't think I need to say much more" said the Hokage he was still upset with the fact that it was him.
"N-no...it can't be him" said Tsunade in complete state of shock from the news she had just received. Jiraiya was in a similar state but got over quicker than his fellow comrade.
"Why tough? I thought it would be Minato and Kushina if anyone" answered Jiraiya over his own shock.
"Yes that is what I thought, it certainly is perplexing" replied the Hokage "do either of you know o anyone whom Naruto considered his fiends. That may help us come closer in who the other ninja were"
"W-why Naruto-kun?" Stuttered Tsuande completely out of it. The shock hit her hard.
"Poor Tsunade" whispered Jiraiya before answering the Hokages question "no I don't Tsumi took away all possible friends his age and I don't know of any one older who could be. Just asking but were is Naruto just now?"
"That's why I called the pair of you here, after the attack Naruto and the other two ninja left the village without a trace. This is were you come in, you two shall lead a search team to go and find them. Kakashi will be joining you. Understood?"
"Yes Sarutobi-sensei" replied Jiraiya getting up "you coming Tsuande?"
"Huh? Oh yeah" she said also standing up "thank you Sensei I will be leaving now" and with that the pair left out then door leaving Sarutobi once again to himself.
'What was that Baka thinking?" Thought Tsuande as she and Jiraiya made their way to the gate to meet Kakashi.
After a short walk the pair reached the gate and not long after Kakashi arrived only five minutes late.
"OK you all set?" Asked Jiraiya to Kakashi.
"Yes Jiraiya-sama. Is Tsuande-sama alright?"
" Yeah she'll be fine once she's over the shock" he replied looking over to Tsunade.
"Yeah I don't blame her really, it was a huge shock when I found out too. "
Not much was said as the three elite ninja left the village in search of the young blonde they had all come to love.
Naruto and co had stopped in a small town for the night and were just preparing to leave once more. Itachi and said to them they would have little time to rest until they had crossed the border. Where they were heading was still a complete mystery to all but Itachi .
That were about a days worth of traveling away from the border between the land of fire and the land of lightning. They were all packed and ready to head out. Itachi payed the inn keeper and they were on their way to the border.
They had been traveling for about two hours when they had decides to stop and have something to eat. For Naruto time to train. They had finished their meal and Itachi was sparing of against Naruto both using their swords.
"Naruto I have to admit you have improved a considerable amount since the last time we fought" aid Itachi dodging a blow that most likely would of cut his head clean off.
"Thanks Itachi-niisan" replied Naruto aiming another swipe of his sword towards itachi's arm only for said ninja to dodge and come round with a kick connecting with Naruto's jaw. The young blonde was sent back a few feet hitting the ground hard as he landed. He stood up, wiped the blood from his mouth and charged back at Itachi, his sword by his side. The pair varied on like this for another half hour until Naruto was hardly able to stand.
Itachi allowed Naruto to rest while he trained with Sasuke. Once the Uchiha's had finished their trading and Naruto was fully rested they headed out again closing in on the border.
Back with the konoha search party, Kakashi has summoned his pack of dogs and sent them of to try and find Naruto's trail whilst he and the two sanins headed to the next town to see if any one had seen the young boy they were looking for.
They had arrived at the town and all three had split up. Jiraiya was currently in a bar listening in on a conversation between two civilians behind him.
"Did you seen those ninja who stayed here? It rare enough as it is to see one pass by but to have three actually stay, our little towns starting to attract attention!"
"Oh I heard about that, was't it only a couple of days ago?"
"Yeah and apparently they stayed in that hotel that Tsubana-chans family own."
'Oh well this is very interesting, now all I need to do now is find this Tsubana and see if it was Naruto who was here' thought Jiraiya leaving the bar. It was getting late so he decided to head back to their hotel room and inform the others of what he had found.
He entered his hotel room and found Kakashi and Tsunade already there. He went and sat down next to them and informed them of what he had found.
"I managed to over here a couple of civilians talking about three ninja who stayed here to too long ago, my hunch is that it was Naruto but let's find Tsubana's hotel tomorrow just to make sure then we will head out" said Jiraiya. None of the others had found anything useful so that was pretty much the entire conversation. Non one had anything left to say so all three ninja headed off to their rooms to get some shut eye.
Next day
The three Leaf ninja woke pretty early not wanting to miss any chances they had at finding Naruto. It had only been half an hour since they had woken but they were all ready and packed to head out. They we setting out in hopes of finding Tsubana's hotel and getting information that could lead them to Naruto.
"Alright, I will take this part of the town and Kakashi and Tsunade you split the other side alright?" said Jiraiya before leaving the two to head out and do his own search.
Kakashi and Tsunade headed out in the opposite direction to look around the other half of the town. It wasn't exactly a big place so searching it wouldn't be that hard especially with three people.
Tsunade had just entered a small Inn and saw a young girl behind a desk. She had dark brown hair tied back in a pleat and was fairly tall. When she saw Tsunade enter she smiled as she walked over to her desk.
"Hello, how may i help you?" The young girl asked still smiling.
"Have you had any ninja staying here recently?" asked Tsunade leaning on the desk looking completely serious unlike the young one in front of her.
"Yes as a matter of fact we did just the other day, they didn't stay very long but it was enough to be the talk of the town. Ninja don't often stay here so it was pretty special."
"Hmm i'm sure it was, now can you remember what any of them looked like?" asked Tsunade not in the mood for chitchat all she wanted was Naruto back. That was all she could think about during the night and about why he did it.
Yes i can remember a bit, well it is very rare to see someone like him so its kind of hard to forget" she said looking as if lost in thought.
"Like what?" Asked Tsunade paying more attention now.
"Well let's see, ah yes the first one was the oldest of the group and had black hair. He was wearing a black cloak and had a katana on his back. The second one looked similar to the first but had more of a dark blue look to his hair and wore white shorts and a blue top with a red and white fan on the back. Strange get up if you ask me but never mind that. The third was a strange one, you don't see many people with blonde hair like that here in the fire country and the scars on his cheeks are something I had never seen on anybody before, they looked like cat whiskers." Said the young girl. "Just saying but I never caught your name, mine is Tsubana"
'Naruto was accompanied by an Uchiha? Why would he do that to his own clan? This just gets more and more confusing the more we find out' thought Tsunade, she was taken from her thoughts when she heard Tsubana speaking to her.
"Huh, oh my name? My name is Tsunade Senju" she said as she walked out of he hotel.
"Oh it was nice to meet you Tsunade!" Shouted Tsubanna to the leaving sanin. "Tsunade, Tsunade where have I heard that name before?"
Kakahi let out a sigh. He had had no luck so far in finding the girl. 'Hope the others are having better luck tan I am he thought'
He had checked almost all the hotels in the area. He was currently walking down the street to the next one when he saw Tsunade ahead of him. Seeing her he decided to catch up and see if she had found anything.
"Tsunade-sama" said kakahsi as he approached the sanin.
"Oh kakashi what is you want?" She asked turning around to face him.
"I came to see if our and found anything" he said back.
"Yes as a matter of fact I have. I was just heading back to the hotel to meet the both of you but I might as well tell you seeming as you are here" said Tsunade as they carried on walking down the street.
"It turns out that it was Naruto who stayed here only a few days ago. I also found out that one of the other two ninja that are accompanying him are an Uchiha. If we move quick enough we may have a chance of catching up to them"
"Wait there did you say an Uchiha? Why would one of their own turn against them?" Asked Kakashi as hey approached the hotel they were staying in.
"That's what I'm wondering it just doesn't add up" The pair arrived at the hotel and saw Jiraiya walking up towards them.
"So did either of you find anything?"
Tsunade explained about what she found to Jiraiya as they packed and got ready to leave.
It didn't make long for them to get ready and arrive at the gate to leave the town.
"If we're all ready then lets head out!" Shouted Jiraiya as all three ninja jumped off into the tress.
And done. So howd you like the chapter? The leafs nins are starting to find out who the two mystery ninja who are accompanying naruto are and now said blonde nin has a search team after him.
I'm starting a new story but this will remain as my main project.
