A/N: some disturbing things are going to happen. The Seven will fight some battles. You will see Naruto at his current state. Have fun reading. I don't own Naruto.

Previously on Naruto The Legendary Swordsman

Kushimaru said, "Naruto-kun what you have there is called a saber. The saber is used to train and fight against opponents in the sport of fencing. This sport is a style we use heavily for my style. You jab, stab, slash and so much more. There are three types of sword fighting for this sport.

You have the Foil. A light thrusting weapon that targets the torso, including the back, but not the arms. Hits are scored only with the tip; hits with the side of the blade do not count. Only a single hit can be scored by either fencer at one time. If both fencers hit at the same time, the referee uses the rules of "right of way" to determine which fencer gets the touch.

The second is Saber. The Saber is a light cutting and thrusting weapon that targets the entire body above the waist, except for the hands. The saber is primarily used to slash, so hits with the side of the blade as well as the tip are valid.

Finally you have the Épée. Épée is a heavy thrusting weapon that targets heavy the entire body. All hits must be with the tip and not the sides of the blade. Épée allows simultaneous hits by both fencer.

I will teach you how to fence and fight. The sword you have there is able to change forms. We will practice along with the practice of sewing kit that you opened."

The final gift Naruto got was from Mangetsu. The present was small and compact. Naruto opened it up to see an advancement for seals. Not only that but it also had a scroll of summoning. Naruto noticed it was a chakra scroll from the classes by Mangetsu. He put chakra into the scroll to see a painting of the Seven with Naruto that said Happy Birthday. There were pockets that you put his new weapons.

Naruto was so happy about his gifts. Even as he marveled at his new gifts and weapons his headaches started to get worse. He felt this was good to be true. He doesn't know what it is but something is going to happen.

All of a sudden a burst of smoke filled the room. Everyone went into mass hysteria. The Seven were looking for Naruto. Naruto on the other hand was met by two swords at his neck. The one said, "Naruto Uzumaki, you will be coming with us."

Chapter Six: A Birthday to Remember pt 2: The Death of an Innocent

Naruto felt the cold blade on his neck. He heard the cold dark voice of the man who wanted him. He started to sweat as he hasn't been in this situation in a long time. This time though he calmed himself down as Ameyuri had taught him and tried to break some of the tension. He said, "Come on guys would you really do this a kid's birthday?" The tension broke somewhat. Yet with Naruto those few seconds were all he needed.

He did a back flip breaking away from the cold blades. The mysterious guy swung his blade as if he wanted to behead the blonde haired boy. Luckily for Naruto the shark training came into fruition. He duck and kicked the guy in the gut. The guy bent over as Naruto kicked him in the head. This caused the man go down with an oof. The gave Naruto the ability to run. As he ran the mysterious ninja started to corner him. He started to ride the walls yet they followed him. When he reached the ceiling he was totally surrounded.

They said, "Uzumaki, you are surrounded. You are to come with us immediately. Now you can do this the easy way and surrender peacefully. Or we could do this the hard way and you will be hurt and have a lot of broken bones. Your choice." Naruto pretended to make a choice. Naruto then smirked as he said, "Why are you guys so heated? Is it that a little kid beat up one of your own? You guys need to take a chill pill."

Naruto unleashed his chakra and made the air ice cold. The air made the mysterious ninjas' feel frozen. This gave Naruto the ability to jump down and delay their time to catch him.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX With the Seven XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ameyuri was able to dissapate the smoke bomb. There were roughly thirty masked ninja. The Seven always came prepared. They put chakra on a seal that was on the inside of their wrist. With a puff of smoke their swords appeared. Ameyuri said, "Ok guys, I don't know what they want but take them all out except one so we can interrogate him. They split up and started to attack.

XXXXXXXXXXXX Ameyuri XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ameyuri pulled out his twin lightning fangs. He put one of his sword in a reverse kunai positon and the other was in a striking position. He said to his opponents, "I don't know what you want but I will tell you this. You won't make it out here alive."

He came at the striking the first one on the chest with the kunai style sword. The person flew back. With the momentum Ameyuri hit the other one with a kick to the chest of the other guy. He pushed off of the guy's chest as if it was spring board and slashed at the guys neck. The attack missed but it did create some spacing for Ameyuri.

He realized that it is going to take more than just slashing attacks to beat these guys. He smirked he loved using his fangs. He poured some of his chakra into the swords. He clashed them together causing a spark. With the spark it caused an electric charge line go in between the two swords. He said, "Well guys you see these babies right here. They conduct high amount of voltage. Let's say about thirty to forty volts.

One shock is going to send you away, far away. So let's begin, shall we?" With that Ameyuri flicked the electric charge whip at the one on the right. The guy tried to protect himself with his shield only to realize that the metal didn't repel the electricty. The voltage coursed through the poor man's body. After Ameyuri finished with the guy, the guy started to smoke.

Ameyuri smirked as he went after the other five who were stunned at what happened to their leader. Ameyuri flung the line whip at the others. They dodge the assault just barely. It was just a ploy as another Ameyuri came to the scene and did a spinning kick in the air into their faces. The original Ameyuri gave the Mizu Bushin the other fang sword. The electric connection broke only for the electricty power up the sword. The two Ameyuris came at them and struck the one on the left in the head and the heart. They went after the other ones who tried to used a substitution. Instead of substituting he was caught by an lightning bolt from the Mizu Bushin. The voltage was coursing through his body. It was hitting every nerve in his body and made the pain intensify. The guy screamed in pain until the bushin stabbed him in the back of the head.

The man dropped to the ground lifeless. As the others were trying to survived they felt a surge of lightning released from Ameyuri. As soon as they heard the crackle of the lightning, the lightning took a shape. A dragon burst out with lightning all around. Ameyuri said, "Now you die, Raiton: Shuurai no Rairyuu (Lightning Style: Lightning Strike of the Lightning Dragon)!"

As he said this the lightning dragon that formed from his two fangs came and struck every member of the mysterious ninjas. It was so powerful that it turned the ninjas to dust. Ameyuri sighed as he said, "That was easy. Too easy if you ask me." Ameyuri saw something shine in the dust. He scrunched down and picked it up. He dusted it off to see a symbol.

Ameyuri's eyes went wide in surprise. It was Konoha forehead protector. Why would they attack an ally? Ameyuri's eyes then narrowed as he realized what or who they are after but why?

He started to run as he looked for Naruto. He said to himself, "Where is Naruto?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Kushimaru XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kushimaru was surrounded by five guys. He smirked as this was a daily fight for him. He pulled out his needle sword. He said, "why hello gentlemen how are you today? We have a house special today from our best chef, Kushimaru. Our special for today is five types of death. One will be sliced into thirteen pieces. The other will have his organs on the floor. The other will bleed out all over the floor. The other will be paralyzed then killed. The final one well thats a surprise."

He started his assault starting with the first one. The first strike was targeted for the arm missed only for him to spin under him and slash right above the knee. The top of his knee was slashed off. The man screamed in pain as he was starting to fall. Kushimaru, then went under the man's arm grabbed it and sliced it at the elbow. He then proceeded to cut the rest of the arm from the shoulder. He was so skilled that he even cut off the poor man's hands.

He did the same to the other arm. He left the man with one full leg, a half of a leg, a torso, a bottom and a head. He went back to his assault and cut the final piece of the first leg. He did it to the other leg and cut it in two. He then cut the man from the bottom leaving him as a torso. Then he finally beheaded the guy.

He said, "Come on guys I thought group in numbers always trumped individually. O well if you're going to stand around then you might as well stann side to side. You forced me to pull out my sword now stop being little bitches and fight me like a man."

After he said that he executed the the third type by doing a special attack. He pulled out a single sewing needle. He said, "Hijutsu: Nubari Ishuu! (Secret Art: Swarms of Sewing Needles)" With this Kushimaru changed from one man to what looked liked over hundred. They started to attack the man in what felt like the Eight Trigrams of the Hyugas.

Kushimaru started it off by saying:

Two Needles (two needles lodged in the mysterious ninja's right arm), Four Needles (Two needles lodged in his left arm, two lodged in his left shoulder) Eight Needles ( two needles lodged in his right shoulder, three needles lodged in his right thigh, and three in his legs) 16 needles (three needles lodged in his left thigh, three in his legs, one in both of his knees, two in his left biceps, two in the left triceps, and two in his left kidney) Thirty Two Needles (Two needles in the right biceps, two in the triceps, four more in the left biceps, four in the biceps, two in his right kidney, six needles at the ribs on the right, six at the ribs on the left side, four in the right peck, and four in the left peck) Sixty Four Needles (four in the clavicle, five in his right wrist, five in his left wrist, ten in his left foot, ten in the right foot, three in his right thumb, two in his right pointer finger, three on his right middle finger, two in his right, two in his right pinky finger, three in his left thumb, two on his left pointer, three on his left middle finger, two in his left ring finger, two in his left pinky finger, two lodged deep into the sternum, one deep in the liver, one in the pancreas, one in the head and one in the stomach).

The guy screamed in pain. Kushimaru just held his hand out. The guy looked closely at the man's hand to see a faint blue chakra string is going through it. The man's eyes went wide as he tried to stop it. Kushimaru said, "Too late". He pulled his hand back releasing the needles from the man. The man exploded as the needles took all his chakra from his body.

Kushimaru twirled his sword and said, "Next"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Zabuza XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Zabuza's opponents were pretty much done as he killed them with a swipe of the head cleaver. Right now though he was looking for Naruto. He was searching everywhere. He saw Ameyuri and asked him, "Have you seen Gaki?"

Ameyuri shook his head. He said, "We got to find him. He is the one they want." As they searched the perimeter, they killed some of the squads that were barricading them from finding them. Zabuza threw his blade at the members killing them instantly. As they kept going Zabuza had a question.

"Ame who are these people? What do they want with Naruto? He's just a seven year old."

Ame explained as much as he could, "These guys are from Konoha. From what I have gathered they are the 'Ne' division. The rumor is they don't work for the Hokage but someone named Danzo. They are supposedly the true ninjas that void their emotions. They are like drones and only follow orders."

Zabuza's eyes went wide. To void all emotions seems almost impossible. He said, "What do they want with Naruto though? He's the exact opposite of their beliefs."

"Zabuza, remember what Naruto is. He is the son of the Yon, he is the jinchuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune and he is talented in the art of fuinjutsu. Imagine if uses all that power as a drone. He will kill everyone and anyone without a bat of an eye. Now also imagine that kind of power with the manipulation of Danzo. It is a recipe for disaster."

Zabuza realized how bad that can be. His determination to find the boy has went into overdrive. The boy is like family. He is the little brother he never had. He is for damned sure that Root will not take the boy away and make him a drone. Root better watch themselves they got a pissed off Zabuza on their tails.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Mangetsu XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Mangetsu shook his head as his opponents. They thought that they could use seals against him in battle. He smirked as he pulled out his signature sword, the Hiramekarei. He said, "ok guys you want to play games. Ok we'll play games. The first one to get struck by this sword dies." He swung at the members of the newly named Root. They blocked with their ninjato. Mangetsu pushed them off as he whirled around and hit one of them in the chest. The person disappeared in smoke. The person came from behind and almost struck Mangetsu.

Mangetsu rolled out of the way and threw a kunai at the member. The member dodge the attack easily. He did not notice however the seal tag on the kunai. It exploded in the man's face. This gave Mangetsu the ability to get up and kick the man in the face. He used the momentum to jump up in the air, do a backflip and throw weapons at the rest of the members.

The kunais landed in front of the Root ninja. The kunai started to glow and exploded in their faces. They covered their eyes only to hear a big heavy weapon come at them. They ducked the attack and came with a kunai to the chest of Mangetsu. He backflipped and got out of the way. He sent a piece of paper at them. It was sound breaking noise. It caused the members of Root to go down on their knees and holding their heads.

Mangetsu's sword started to transforming into a raging tidal wave. He swung the sword with a tidal wave flowing through. The Root members jumped back all except one. That one got caught into the sea of man eating fish. The sword started to drain the water and the man into the sword. There was no trace of the person as the forehead protector was on the ground.

Mangetsu said, "Now boys do you really want to mess with this. The sword has the ability make a water tornado the sucks a person into the sword. The person's chakra is also absorbed into the sword's chakra. So who 's next?"

No one moved as Mangetsu scared the hell out of them. He came at them with blinding speed. He struck the member of the Root team on the right. They tried to defend but it was of no use. He struck the person right through the chest. Instead of blood coming out, the person's body became like water. He did a diagnal cut across the upper part of the torso. He then touched the body and it became water.

He said, "That is its other ability. Instead of cutting a person, the sword turns them into water. Once again the water gets absorbed into the sword. It becomes even stronger chakra. Now lets play the game where I kill you. You have approximately five seconds to leave or face my beautiful swords wrath."

He counted his fingers to five. Since no one left, he shrugged and went after them. One by one they fell to the almighty Mangetsu. He sighed as he pulled out his water bottle. He drank to keep his body stable. He looked at the forehead protector and frowned. He needed to find Naruto quick.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Naruto XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Naruto ran far away. He was cutting corners as he did when he first met the Seven. He didn't want to fight them as he knew he wouldn't be able to fight them and survive. He ran as fast as he could. He saw that they were hot on his case so he made it to the front of the hotel hoping there will be people there. He was unfortunately wrong about that. He did however saw an advantage up on the ledge. He put chakra onto his feet. He ran up into the ledge and waited for them to get here.

He pulled out the kunais that he was given for his birthday. His heart was pumping as fast as it could. The sweat was dripping down his burning face. His hands shook. The reason is if everything goes right, he will have killed someone at the age of seven. Just the thought of killing at the tender age of seven, made acid grow into his stomach. He just had to wait.

The one Root member that came was tall and brute. He grunted as he could not find where Naruto went. He separated from the group as getting a seven year old should not be a problem. He grunted out in his deep dark voice, "Uzumaki, get out here. I'm done playing around with you. Either you come out right now or I will find you and make sure your body will be in pieces."

Naruto's heart thumped as each word escaped the Root member's mouth. He made a decision that will change his life forever. He got up the nerve to get up. He slowly and quietly made it to the end of the ledge. He did not make a noise as he decide to jump. He jumped all the way from the ledge. He put both of his hands onto the kunai. A tear fell as this is the end of his innocence.

He lodged the kunai deep into the skull of the Root member (Think of Ezio from Assassin's Creed Brotherhood). When the Root member's body hit the floor it made a sound that alerted the rest of the members where Naruto is. He heard them say where he was. He tried to run until hit into someone. It was Maria.

She held his mouth shut. She whispered, "Naruto-kun, be quiet. Look I want you to run as fast as possible. I'm going to hold them off just long enough for you to get away. Follow the roads outside. This might be the last time I see you ok? I want you to be strong and become a great ninja. I want you to be an even greater person ok. Promise me, you won't kill or any of that because you like it. Do it to save your family and friends."

Naruto shook his head. He saw her have a tear going down her pretty face. She hugged him tight and told him to leave. He hated how weak is that he could not even protect her. He hoped she survived. He could only hope.

Maria tried to stop them. The real reason she stopped being a ninja was because she barely has any chakra left. If she does any chakra based jutsu she will die. She said to herself, "If I'm going to die a ninja, I will do it protecting my friend. Suiton: Suiryudan no Jutsu (Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet)." She used her ultimate attack. It formed as a dragon and hit the Root members.

They were able to survive the attack with kawirmiri. She fell to the ground dead. They disrespectively stepped on her dead body. Naruto turned around to look to see if she survived. He saw her die and it was all his fault. His anger grew. His arms shook back and forth. Tears came down freely. His chakra bursted as his rage and anger grew. He closed his deep blue eyes. In a moment, the Root members surrounded him.

They started to make comments about how easy she was to beat and that if he didn't give up he will be just like her. They put there swords around his neck. Naruto started to speak quickly that they could not understand. Naruto's chakra finally blew up. He opened his eyes and then it happened...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX Ameyuri XXXXXXXXXXXX

Ameyuri and the rest of the Seven felt the chakra burst. They ran as fast as they could to get to Naruto. When they finally reached Naruto, they saw Naruto on the ground with his bangs covering his eyes. Naruto has a kunai in his hands. The Root members were on the floor dead. Naruto said, "Nisans (older brothers) I think it's time for me to learn how to fight."

Author's note: Done! Hardest chapter to write. I dont know if I got Naruto they way I wanted him to be. I hope you like this chapter. Maria is the replacement of Haku in a way. So I do hope that you understand Naruto is extremely shaken up. The Doujutsu will show itself. You should worry about those headaches.

Now onto the poll Yugito and Mei are in first with 38. Fem. Kyu is in second with 37. Third is Haku. The fourth is my girl Anko. Fifth is Yuugao. Mei and Yugito are pretty much in. Now one asked why is Mikoto not in the choices is because she is already in.

If you have a question just ask me. Review, review and review. Ja for now
