Okay, there have a lot of ideas running in my mind with this story. A bit too many. So, I believe a vote ought to help.

Question 1

Should I make an armor for Naruto?

(A) Yes

(B) No

Question 2

I have a sword lined up. They will be getting a C-rank soon after they get back. Should they go on the Mission to Wave Country? Or should I switch it to the Waterfall Village, and ignore Wave Country altogether?

(A) Switch to Waterfall Village

(B) Keep it to Wave Country

(C) Some other mission that is going to be upgraded (Give details in a review/PM)

That is all for now. Enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 5

Sarutobi ended up in his office, no one but his double in there. The one sitting in the chair nodded, and transformed back into Naruto, and got back up. "No one seems to have noticed, Lord Hokage."

"I see. However, how was the Paperwork?" Sarutobi inquired.

"Actually, somewhat easy." Naruto replied, almost causing Sarutobi to gape.

"Easy? That paperwork is the only thing that no Kage has ever defeated!"

"Well, I got 82 mission reports done and filed away, had 2 other Shadow Clones do the Paperwork, and still had time to give out a few pieces of advice, as per your schedule. I walked straight down the street as you, and they didn't look twice. By the way, I'll be giving you a few pieces of advice with the Village Security. These may be peace times, but I have a feeling that's going to end soon." Naruto replied.

"Well then, you will have the pay transferred to your account. This B-rank would easily be considered a test run for your term as Hokage one day." Sarutobi replied. "I will have the paperwork for this mission myself. Also, know that the Next Council Meeting will involve you. I've already got you instated as Kushina's Heir, and therefore the head of the Uzumaki Clan."

"I must thank you, Lord Hokage." The clone bowed.

"Also, when you dispel, you should know that you have more help on the way, regarding the council. Just be careful with the information. However, I do have one question. How did Sasuke learn of the truth?"

"That would be the boss's fault. He helped him out, by getting rid of the arrogance, and helping Sasuke talk to his mother, who is currently a Ghost in the Uchiha Clan."

"I see. So, he found out from his mother?" A nod. "Then I can't do anything. The cover story was so the masses don't panic. The Elders are idiotic fools, and you know Danzou was planning something else regarding it."

"That I do, and we've already found out how to get over it."

"One last thing: If I get a mission that requires a Ninja to head towards Takigakure, I'll be sending your team. They are already familiar with one of the residents." Sarutobi stated, earning a nod.

"Also, I asked Hiashi Hyuuga to keep tabs on the people going in and out of Tower., and making note of those who had suspicions of me being an impostor, and who didn't. Check with him for the results. No one openly admitted that I was making a scene, and Kurenai didn't even tense when she saw me." Naruto stated.

"I will do just that. Remember, you still have 2 days off. Make the best of it." Sarutobi stated. "You are dismissed."

"Thank you." Naruto then left through the window, only to vanish from visible sight before he hit the ground.

-Waterfall 13-

Naruto was trying to climb the Waterfall, and had just made it with 2 Shadow clones, before the original tensed, yet didn't lose concentration, and managed to get up all the way. Sasuke was also there, but didn't make it completely.

All of Naruto's Shadow Clones then dispersed, and since he was sitting at the base of a tree with Hinata next to him, he didn't have to worry about much. "What's up?"

"The Youki Clone I made to sub for Jiji just dispelled. All I can say is, I pity him with the paperwork he has to do daily. Sure, I can do so easily, but when you've got Shadow Clones, and a near limitless supply of Chakra, you kind of have an advantage with the near endless paperwork." Naruto stated. Hinata just giggled.

Sasuke then dragged himself towards Naruto and Hinata. "Damn, Sasuke. Chakra Exhaustion?" He just nodded, and passed out. Hinata laid her head on Naruto's shoulder, while he placed his head on her head. They both passed out themselves.

-Sasuke's dream-

Sasuke found himself in a Pure White area. No ground, no sky. Nothing but endless white. "Where am I?"

Summoner of the Dragon Clan. You bear the The 3 Elements of the Tri-Element Blast.

"Who are you? And what do you mean?"

Do not ask me any questions, for they will not be answered by me. Find the Blade of Prophecy. It will speak of your prophecy, should you be able to use it. Do not be afraid of it. If you see it, you will know it. The last one to have it was a Namikaze. Find it, and if it allows it, use it. No one but he who wields the 3 Elements can use it.

"Namikaze... Naruto should know what it is." Sasuke said.

Beware of the taint hatred brings. Nothing good ever comes of it. Farewell, summoner.

Sasuke then found himself having one of his usual dreams.

-a few hours later, same area-

Sasuke, Naruto, and Hinata woke up to find Jiraiya and Kakashi sitting in front of them talking. Sasuke was the first to speak. "Where were you two?"

"Meeting." Jiraiya stated.

"Can't say." Kakashi replied.

"I think I know where you were, Kakashi-sensei." Naruto added, before turning his head to Jiraiya. "You mind releasing the Seal now? I finished the Waterfall Climbing exercise before I passed out."

Jiraiya then got up and walked over to him. Naruto made the Reaper Death Seal appear, and Jiraiya released the Five-Pronged Seal. Naruto then nodded his thanks.

"Try it out, and see how easy it is for you." Jiraiya stated, pointing at the Waterfall. Naruto just walked up it like it was child's play. "This is easy." He then tried to sit down on it. To his surprise, he still didn't fall. "Sweet." He got back up, after relishing in the water pounding his back, and jumped off to meet them. "Looks like it worked the way we hoped."

"It worked better than you think, Naruto."

'Looks like we can talk again, huh?'

"That's what happened after the seal was released. That's a useful way to use the Five-Pronged Seal. Disrupting the connection between the Bijuu and the Host. It's dangerous for a Jinchuuriki, for the simple fact that disrupting the connection means shooting their control all to hell."

"Looks like the connection is back up." Hinata added in.

Naruto looked at Hinata. "Yeah, it still works. That's a relief."

Kakashi, Sasuke, and Jiraiya nodded. They had long gotten used to it. "Well, now that we're done here, I think we can leave training and do a C-rank once our time off is finally over." Kakashi stated. "Remember, tomorrow is our last day off. Try and relax tomorrow."

They all nodded, but Sasuke grabbed Naruto's arm before he could leave. "There's something I think you could figure out for me, and I doubt I could find it on my own."

Naruto looked at him in surprise. "You seem to be relying on me a lot lately."

"Considering the fact that what I need found was last in the hands of a Namikaze, and you're the last one, I figured you'd at least know of it." Sasuke stated.

"What do you mean?" Naruto said, interested in what was going on.

"While I was out of, some weird voice was telling me a few things. I know it wasn't a dream, because I don't dream crazy shit like that." Sasuke admitted, before explaining the contents of it. "After that, it became a somewhat normal dream for me. I know that you've been going through your father's stuff, but I was wondering if you had already seen it."

Naruto's eyes narrowed for a second, but then widened in realization. 'Could it be...? That small rock that looks like a sword?'

"It very well could be. Get it, and see if it works."

"Sasuke, wait here for a second. Hinata, talk to your father about the events regarding the Hokage today. If he asks why, say it was a request from me, and I wanted a professional opinion. He should understand then." They both nodded, and Naruto left in his Fire Shunshin.

Sasuke and Hinata blinked a few times. Hinata shook it off first, though. "I'm heading out. See you later, Sasuke." she ran off.

Naruto came back 2 minutes later, with a strange rock in his hand. "I'm not completely sure, but I think this is what you're looking for." He showed the rock really did look like a miniature sword. The Blade itself, though made completely of rock and strangely blunt, was about 7 inches, adding another 6 inches for the hilt and handle. There were strange carvings in the blade itself.

Sasuke just stared at it. 'This feels like...' He reached for it slowly, though Naruto was watching. The moment he touched the handle, there was a flash, and Sasuke found himself standing in front of a large sword. I'm not talking "6 Feet long" large. I'm talking 8 story tall, with another 10 or so feet buried.

The blade in front of him, though big, radiated power. Sasuke found himself subconsciously activating his Sharingan, even though he never used it before. The Blade itself was a Golden Yellow, but seemed to emit a few small bolts of lightning. There was about 10 feet between the Blade and Handle. (A/N: I call this area the hilt.) This area seemed to have streaks of Fire, a few areas coated in Ice, and a few bolts of Lightning etched into the design. The handle itself was another 10 Feet.

Sasuke then heard a voice, before a smaller version of the sword in front of him appeared closer. He noticed, and looked up at the bigger sword, before nodding. He grabbed the hilt, and started pulling. It was slowly coming out, and within a few seconds, he had it held above his hand. The Giant Sword in front of him started to dissolve.

'Sasuke Uchiha. Summoner of Dragons. Wielder of a Purified Version of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. Right the wrongs of your clan as it should be, and never give in to the darkness. Our power is now yours. The power of Fire, Ice and Lightning is yours to use as you see fit.'

"I understand. I still stand by my decision to help Naruto whenever, and wherever I can. Anyone who doesn't like it, can kiss my Uchiha Ass." Sasuke replied, and then noticed something. "Wait, Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan?"

'Yes. The Eternal Mangekyo is similar to the Mangekyo Sharingan, but one major difference. You don't go blind from overuse. Your reserves are not high enough to use any Mangekyo Jutsu more than once, but give it time, and you can use them more. One last thing. Your Sharingan will not affect the Bijuu the same as Madara's will. You, and you alone, can break his spells on the Bijuu. Know when to use it, and you will know what you can use with it later on.'

"I understand. For the time being, the Mangekyo Sharingan and above is off limits. I will wait until it is needed, before I go any further. I thank you for this."

'You are welcome, Uchiha. Know that you will not be affected by the curse, as long as you hold true to your word and help the Kyuubi.'

"I have no intentions on going back on that. Madara must pay. How he pays, even if I am not allow to come up with it, I want to see it be done. I don't even have to do it myself, as long as I know he gets his just due, I won't have any complaints."

'Know that he has the cursed version of the Eternal Mangekyo. When he is finally dead, the curse will be lifted.'

"I thank you for the advice, and the heads up." Sasuke stated. "And the sword?"

'It is yours. There was once an armor to go with it, but that armor is long gone. Channel your Chakra to it. From there, it will do it's job. Only you can bring out its potential. Only you can use it in its true form.'

Sasuke glowed, and found himself still gripping the rock sword, Naruto still holding onto it. Sasuke then noticed what happened. He looked straight into Naruto's eyes. "Naruto, it seems this is it. And I know what it's supposed to do now."

"What it's supposed to do?" Naruto asked.

"It's supposed to be a weapon for the wielder of Fire, Ice, and Lightning. Only he can use it. Apparently, even though I never managed Ice before, the sword believes I have it." Sasuke told him.

Naruto let go of it, and let Sasuke handle it. Sasuke just channeled Chakra to it, causing it to be surrounded by flames. It then turned into the sword that he pulled out of the ground when he touched the rock in the first place. "Yeah, this is the one. The Blade of Prophecy... No, the Sword of the Berserker Dragons." He then noticed he stopped the flow of Chakra, and it stayed that way. He sent a little more Chakra to the Blade, and it turned back into a small Stone. The same way it was before. "Send it to the Blade, it changes form. It doesn't need a constant flow of Chakra to stay active."

"Just like my Transformation." Naruto replied. "Use it once, and I don't have to keep using Chakra to keep it up. It's like Shape-shifting." Sasuke nodded in agreement.

"That'd be about right." Sasuke stated. He was about to pocket it before he realized it was Naruto's property. Naruto beat him to it, though.

"Keep it." This confused Sasuke a bit. "I can't use it myself, but you can. That reason alone is good enough for you to have it. Just don't lose it."

"I don't plan on it." He put it in his Tool pouch. "Thanks."

"I hope that's the last you need to ask of me for a while. I have to spend some time with my fiance, you know?" Naruto said.

"Yeah, I know. I wasn't really hoping to ask for anything for a few months, but you know how things go. When you want something..."

"The opposite tends to happen." Naruto finished for him. "Make sure you learn to use it properly. No weapon is powerful if the wielder cannot use it properly."

"Ain't that the truth." Sasuke stated. "Oh yeah. When I... learned of the sword, my Sharingan activated, and went straight to the Third level. I was told it was a purified version, but I'm not all too sure. In any case, I have no intentions of using anything from the second level or above for a while. Reserves, and safety precaution. The usual."

Naruto nodded. "If you don't mind, I'm going to see Hinata. Later, Sasuke." Naruto then used the Fire Shunshin to leave.

'I wonder how much my mother knows about the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan...' Sasuke thought before leaving himself.

-2 days later-

Team 7 was in the Mission Room. Sarutobi and Iruka were both in there. "So, Kakashi. I have yet to find one for your team. The C-ranks that have come in all rely on stealth and information gathering. This is not your team's specialty, and as such... Iruka, pass me the B-ranks. I believe there is something there that can help."

"Lord Hokage, are you serious?" Iruka nearly shouted.

"Completely. They will need the experience for what is coming. I am already aware of the situation at hand regarding this team. I'm almost tempted to get Jiraiya to return and train them himself for that same reason." Sarutobi replied, surprising Iruka. He then got the mission rack. After a few quick glances he found one that would seem somewhat useful.

"This should do nicely." Sarutobi stated, before tossing it to Kakashi. "That is your next mission. Be aware that killing is involved. And if any of you freeze up, Kakashi, you are to get them out of there."

"I don't think that will be necessary, Lord Hokage." Naruto stated, confusing Iruka. "We will be just fine with the abilities we have, as there is more to what we can do than even you've seen. Especially when it comes to me and Hinata."

"You may not realize it, but a Hyuuga Elder is dead because of me." Hinata stated, with a sickeningly sweet smile. "No one insults Naruto like he did, and the others found that out really quickly."

"You really brought her out of her shell, Naruto." Iruka stated. "I'm impressed. But this begs the question: What do you mean about more than we've seen? Is it stuff you've been working on?"

"Some of it, yeah. Kakashi-sensei will be able to report them if he sees them in action, but remember that the majority of the ideas are not mine. Just the way it's used is my idea, and even then, I might not be the first to think of it." Naruto stated. "Anyway, I figure that some things will help out. What do we we have to do, Kakashi-sensei?"

"It's a back-up request. Team 8 has requested it due to unexplainable circumstances. It says they will explain when we get there. Although, it seems that it would be helpful for a Shaman of Sorts to come along." Kakashi stated, reading over the scroll itself.

"No need for that." Naruto stated. "We got it covered."

"South Gate. 1 hour. Don't be late." Kakashi stated. "I have to pick something up. I'll head there directly after I get it."

"It better not be one of those books." Naruto stated.

"No, I've basically given up reading Icha Icha during missions, or training. I'd only do that on down time now. This? This is serious. I would've waited, had it been a new Icha Icha."

Naruto nodded. 'Finally got some sense into him.'

Hinata and Sasuke also nodded. "See you then." They all left in a Shunshin.

-South Gate, 1 hour later-

Team 7 was ready to go. "Alright team, let's move out." Kakashi stated, before they went through the trees to a small port town. It didn't take them long, as they were Tree Hopping, though even for Ninja it was fast. They got there in half the expected time.

They found Team 8 resting at a Campfire, on the outskirts of a rundown village. Kiba was the first to notice them. "Looks like Naruto's here. That means Sasuke and Hinata are here as well."

"They sent Team 7?" Kurenai asked. "I could've sworn they would've sent a higher ranking team."

"It was probably an attempt to conserve forces. All four of them are radiating a power my Beetles do not recognize." This confused Kurenai.

Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata and Kakashi landed right in front of them. "We have been sent to help you out." Kakashi stated.

"Kakashi, I could've sworn I made it a B-rank request."

"Well, none of the C-ranks there were to specifications to our specialties, so you could say he upped it a rank for us." Kakashi stated. "Alright, so what's the current situation?"

"Some kind of Undead menace." Sakura stated. "I only caught a glimpse of it, but it looked to me like a Giant Humanoid Chicken."

Naruto was about to ask something, but then thought someone else could let him know a lot quicker. 'Kyuubi, any ideas on this?'

"Yes, but I'd have to find out more about it. If it appears, I'll let you know. Just tell them that if it comes back, to let us handle it."

"Sakura, I may have an idea on it, but I'd have to see it myself. In any case, if it shows up again, let me know. I'll be taking care of it." Naruto told her.

"Why you?"

"Because I'm the one with the best shot at taking it down." Naruto stated.

"You think it's a demon of some kind?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah." Naruto then heard something else. "If there have been zombies attacking in the area, then the possibilities of what it is are narrowed down immensely."

"Come to think of it, there just so happens to be zombies here." Kiba stated.

"That brings it down to 4." Naruto stated, basically repeating the Kyuubi's words. "Anything else that's strange?"

"There is the fact it seems like the Zombies are being controlled."

"Doesn't help much. 3 left, though." Naruto stated. "From there, the only differences are looks. However, now I'm not the only one that can handle it. Sasuke, did you bring it?"

"Yeah, but I don't have much practice with it."

"Odds are likely this will get you some Practical Experience with it. It should help out against these guys. If not the leader, than the grunts." he paused. "I am somewhat familiar with Zombies. Disconnect their heads from their bodies, the how is irrelevant, Burn them, or get them with some kind of Holy energy, and they're dead for good. Most effective are Fire and Holy, but beheading them still works for the majority of them."

They all nodded. "Pounding them senseless won't work, will it?" Sakura asked.

Naruto looked at her. "What did you have in mind?"

"Random pounding."

"No, that won't work. If you can manage to get the head off of it's shoulders, and with your strength, it could work. Aside from that, nothing." Naruto explained. "Anymore questions?" They all shook their heads. "Alright then. My only guess is it will attack at night. That will only make them more powerful. But for what I intend to do, it won't help the thing. No questions on that."

Kurenai nodded at this. "We have about 2 hours until sundown. The village they've been around is not that far away. We've been using this area as a camp for resting. It seems like there's no end to them. They always start off the night with the same amount as before."

"It's their leader's doing. I have to take care of him, though. Fire is off the list of kill shots for it. However, something else is put on the list that makes me perfect to take the thing out."

"You mean..." Kurenai's eyes widened.

"Yes, Kurenai-sensei. He's already agreed to help out. We've also got a plethora of moves to use against it." Naruto replied, confusing the Genin of Team 8. Everyone else knew already.

After the Sun went down, they made their way to the village silently. From there, Naruto counted the numbers, and summoned his Omegabuster. 'Time for the Omegabuster to make it's debut.'

Kakashi noticed it out. 'So, the first weapon of the Yondaime. What can it do?'

Naruto's eyes then went from cerulean to red with slits. Kurenai, Kakashi, and Hinata knew what this meant, while Sasuke and Shino had an idea. The others were a little confused, but didn't comment on it.

The Zombies got up, and started moving around. "You guys handle the Zombies. I'm heading for the River."

"Why the river?" Sasuke asked.

"Because that's where the flow of Youki is coming from. That also means that's where the true target is."

Kakashi nodded. "I'll leave it to you, Naruto."

"Thanks, but I wasn't asking for permission. I'm the only one that can kill the thing off for good. Not even a Lightning Blade can do anything to it."

"Kit, it's a low B-class."

'Noted. I may need to go One-tail Cloak. Hopefully my body can handle it for a while. If I find that I need it, then I'll let you know.'

"Just don't get cocky with this, and fire my youki through the Omegabuster, not your own Chakra. Also, avoid any other weapons on the thing. It won't do you any good."

'Roger that.'

Naruto then jumped up over to the roofs and kept going over to the river, while the rest of his team charged straight into the Zombies and tore them apart. Team 8 started helping, using Naruto's advice. Sakura got a lot of headshots with her fist, knocking off a 2 or 3 heads with one punch. (A/N: She really has been taking her training seriously, hasn't she?)

The moment Naruto reached the river bank, there was a massive splash, and something came out of the river directly in front of Naruto.

"You are fools to oppose me!" The being bellowed.

"They were fools because they didn't know they were dealing with a B-class Demon here."

The being looked at Naruto with interest. Naruto took this moment to pick up its form. The top half of the torso, just above the waist was more of a Human than anything else. He had claws for fingers, and the head itself looked similar to a lion. From the waist down, it looked similar to a chicken's rear end, feathers and all. The feet were exactly like that of a chicken, aside from the fact there were 5 claws instead of 3. There was also a pair of wings flapping behind him, keeping him above the river.

"I am not a B-class Demon, but an A-class! You dare insult my skills you worthless human?"

"Sorry to break it to you, but in the eyes of a Bijuu, you are nothing but a B-class, if that!" Naruto retorted.

"There are no Bijuu in this area, and there has been none for years!"

"That's where you're wrong." Naruto stated. "My eyes are normally a deep cerulean. Now that they are blood red, and resemble a fox, what does that tell you?"

The demon's eyes widened. "No... YOU LIE!" He charged, pulling out a sword, which Naruto dodged quickly.

'Damn! This guy is fast!'

"Augment your speed like we practiced!"

'I know that! That's the only reason I was able to dodge!'

"You are a quick one. Much too quick for a Human."

"I don't fall under the Human Category, nor do I fall under Demon or Hanyou. Yet I can use the powers of all of them." Naruto told him, pointing his arm at the thing, and fired.

This caught the demon off guard, and he lost a wing, falling to the ground. "The hell?"

Naruto ran towards him, only to find that some feathers were shot towards him from the still intact wing.

The others were still facing off with the Zombies.

"I thought he said there would not be that much harm if we got rid of their heads!" Kiba shouted.

"Try destroying them completely!" Sasuke shouted back, right before about half of them fell down limp.

Kakashi and Kurenai looked towards Naruto's position, and had the same thought. 'He's using the Kyuubi's Chakra. When he did that, he knocked out some of the Zombies. Almost half of them.'

Kakashi then figured something else out. "Sasuke, head towards Naruto's position and find out what he just did with the Chakra!"

"Right!" Sasuke then left, pulling out the rock blade in his pouch, before turning it into the Sword of the Berserker Dragons. He landed next to Naruto, and noticed that the thing only had one wing. "What did you just do to him?"

"I just shot off a wing. I take it something happened?"

"Half of the Zombies fell down right after a small burst of Kyuubi's Youki appeared."

"That means... Sasuke, tell the others to hold the Zombies off, while I get the other wing. When the rest of them fall down, converge on my position, and ready yourselves for the final assault on the Chicken!"

"Got it!" Sasuke went back to Kakashi, relayed the message, causing a wide eye. "Everyone! Stop the kill shots, just hold them back! They'll fall on their own soon enough!" Hinata nodded, as did Team 8.

Naruto was now charging towards the Demon Chicken, a Katana in hand. The Chicken dodged it, now noticing the threat he posed. 'This is not good. He can actually use Youki! I have no choice. Time to turn it up a notch!'

"Consider yourself lucky that you're forcing me to fight seriously. No human has ever done that." The chicken stated, before covering itself in a cloak of Youki.

"That is going to be trouble."

'I can see that. Screw the cloak. You're taking this fight.'

"Kakashi is not going to like that idea."

'If he asks, tell him I said it was my idea in the first place. I won't be able to handle him like that.'

"Alright, but remember. It was your idea." Naruto then switched places in the consciousness. When the eyes opened up, they looked the same, but gave off a different feel.

On the other side of town, Hinata tensed up. 'No... he's outmatched.' "Kakashi-sensei, no matter what happens, do NOT go towards Naruto's position!"

"What? Why not?" Sasuke questioned as he beheaded another Zombie.

"He's gone for the Reverse Body Swap. His fight is no longer his." Hinata replied, causing Kakashi's eye to widen.

Kurenai was a little confused. "Hinata, what the hell are you talking about?"

"Naruto's found himself outmatched, so he performed a tag-out situation. You should know, full well, who he tagged out with." Hinata replied. "Do not go over there, for your own safety!"

Kurenai's eyes widened. "Kakashi!"

"Don't look at me! I didn't teach him how to do that! At least I was warned about this! Hinata! Bring out a Kitsune, and have them help him out!" Kakashi ordered.

"I don't know how much good it will do, but alright!" She jumped back. "Summoning Jutsu!" A 3 tailed Kitsune, the size of a horse was suddenly there. "What's up?"

"Lord Kyuubi and his host have switched positions and is currently taking on some other demon. We can't interfere without losses, so we need someone to either watch over them, or help them out."

"Sorry, I'd only hold him back. I'd be better off watching over them."

"That's good enough! Just make sure he survives!" Hinata shouted, before attacking another Zombie.

The Kitsune jumped over towards a building, and started running along the walls before reaching Naruto's position.

Kyuubi looked at the Incoming Kitsune. "Take care of the wing!"

"Roger Lord Kyuubi!"

The chicken turned around too late. His wing was cut off by a tail swipe. "You're getting on my nerves, boy!"

"You're no longer dealing with a Human in a Human's body. Now you're dealing with a Kitsune, and a Bijuu in a human's body. Out numbered, outmatched, and shit out of luck!"

The chicken was actually scared, though he didn't let on. "You think you've won this?"

Kyuubi surround Naruto's body with a Fox Cloak with one tail. "You're out of your league. You're up against a Kyuubi level demon in a Human's body, and a Sanbi level Kitsune. Youki shot!" Kyuubi fired a blast of Youki, and just barely missed. The other Kitsune launched a Fireball from a tail. "Fox Fire!"

That one was a direct hit. "Charge Shot! Fire!" The Chicken screamed. "Combo!"

"Right!" The Kitsune called out.

"Phoenix Fox Flare!"

"Fox Inferno!"

The two attacks hit the Chicken, and roasted it. Kyuubi and the Kitsune walked up to the burnt chicken. "What do you know? He turned into fried Chicken." Kyuubi stated.

"I don't know. Looks more like a turkey to me."

"Thanks for the help." Kyuubi stated, before releasing the cloak. "I only get so much reign in his body."

"I understand your situation, Lord Kyuubi. Why didn't your host summon one of us? Or a Phoenix for that matter?"

"Because he can't rely on you guys all the time. There are other reasons, such as keeping his abilities a secret. That is what he's supposed to be doing as a Ninja." Kyuubi replied.

Team 8 and the rest of Team 7 appeared right then and there.

Kakashi looked at Kyuubi. "Alright, what did you do to Naruto?" He had a ninjato in his hand.

"Kakashi, before you say anything on why I'm doing this, it was his idea. It's better for this to happen, then to bring out one of the bigger guns. They would have destroyed the entire area. I hope you know that."

"In case you forgot, he wasn't there at the meeting." Hinata replied. "I already knew that you both switched out, and figured that he found he was outclassed."

"Trust the fiance to find out what happened before she even gets the memo from the source." Kyuubi stated. "We've got about 30 seconds until the Tag-out is reversed. If the Hokage needs to know anything about what happened, just say that things got out of hand, and Naruto was forced to use my Chakra to fight, which is kind of true."

"But it wasn't enough, was it?" Hinata asked. "That's why he did the Tag-out in the first place."

"Correct again, Hinata. You're learning how we both think highly quickly."

"I try." Hinata replied with a smile. Kyuubi blinked and the eyes were back to the usual deep Cerulean. "Naruto, you really shouldn't do that. You scared Kurenai-sensei half to death with the Tag-out."

Naruto then fell to his knee. "No... choice... Must... rest..." He passed out, and Hinata caught him. She looked at Sasuke and Kakashi. "Get rid of the bodies of all Zombies. Fire Jutsu to burn them or Earth Jutsu to send them 10 feet under." She looked at Team 8. "Sakura, have you been studying anything under the Medical Jutsu area?"

"Yeah, and I can tell he's only exhausted." Sakura replied. "What did he do to put him in this state?"

"The Tag-out is a dangerous move for him. When he does so, he no longer has control over his own body. That's not the problem, though. If the one in control of the body does more than the body itself can handle, it will tire out quickly. If the body can't go on, the Tag-out is force canceled, and the body will pass out, and maybe get a few aches. He'd be fine after a good rest, but that's all that's really needed." Hinata explained.

"Then why use it? I mean, if it does that, then shouldn't it be labeled as Forbidden?" Kurenai asked.

"It would be, if it were known by Ninja." Hinata stated. "It's something he came up with on his own. As such, only he can do so and still stay sane afterwards. The Tag-out is a Jinchuuriki specific move. I wouldn't be able to use it myself. I only know of it, so I can warn others to stay back." She picked Naruto up, and put him on her back. "Let's head back to the camp, and head back to the village after we're done."

They went back to the campsite to rest up. Kakashi and Sasuke came back later on, to find them resting up. Kurenai was keeping watch, and let them know what was going on. They both sat down and fell asleep.

The son rose 7 hours later, and Naruto woke up then and there. He found the Sasuke was the only one awake at that point.

"How long was I out?"

"Almost 8 hours. I got here 7 hours ago, after Kakashi-sensei and I took care of the bodies."

"And the Fried Chicken?" Naruto asked.

"Toasted." Sasuke stated. "In fact, we have some still here."

"I always wondered what Demonic Chicken tastes like fried." Naruto stated, before Sasuke tossed him the leg. He took a bite out of it. "A lot better than I expected, apparently." He finished it off quickly. "Thanks, Sasuke."

"Thank Kyuubi. He's the one that toasted him. Evenly cooked, I might add."

"Noted."

It didn't take long for everyone else to wake up. Hinata was first, though, and she actually cuddled with Naruto until the others woke up. Once they were all ready, Naruto closed his eyes and tried sensing anyone else in the area. Finding nothing but small animals, he gave the go to head back.

Sasuke walked next to Sakura, and they talked quite a bit. Naruto, Hinata and Kiba talked as well, although Kiba tried making advances, only for Hinata to blatantly ignore them. They were 4 hours from the South Gate when he got right in front of her.

"Why?" Kiba asked.

"Why what?" Hinata asked.

"You're no longer in that old shyness shell of yours, so why won't you go out with me?" Kiba asked, completely annoyed.

"Oh, so that's what you were trying to do?" Hinata asked, feigning ignorance. "Sorry Kiba, but you snooze, you lose. I'm already engaged. Not taking anyone else, you know. There's no need to."

"You're WHAT?"

"She's engaged, Kiba. Didn't you hear her the first time?" Naruto asked, completely annoyed. "I know you've been trying to ask her out, very subtle by the way, but you're already too late. A month too late. No official marriage, but it was arranged before we were even born. We didn't find out about it until a month ago, as her father hadn't spoken of it until then, or since. It's now at my estate, which once belonged to my parents, both of which are dead. I'm the heir to 2 clans, and I'm the last known for both, though I bear my mother's surname only."

"Why not bear your father's surname? Isn't that how it's supposed to be?" Kiba asked, completely confused. "And how the hell to you become the Heir to 2 Clans from being an Orphan all your life?"

"I've always been the heir, but I didn't know about either Clan, or my heritage until a little over a month before Graduation." Naruto told him. "Since then, my goals have changed. Hokage is not the main priority any longer. It's still high up there, but I have another goal up there, should I not make it there. If I have to resign from the Konoha Shinobi forces, then I will, and then I'll be doing something else, out of the village. And I'd never come back. If exiled, I'd follow the back-up."

"Why would you be exiled?" Sakura asked.

"You didn't follow him around the village every other day during the academy, Sakura." Hinata stated, shocking her and Kiba. "You haven't seen the Hell he's been put through for something he couldn't control, due to circumstances within 3 hours of his birth. And you never will now about it. You'll never feel the pain he's had to go through. The pure hatred of every civilian, and at least 40% of the shinobi force which was directed at him."

"Well, he was a prankster." Kiba stated.

"This went far before he even entered the academy. That's what I saw during the first year he was in our class. He even told me that it was going on when he was 3." Hinata spat out like it was sewage. "Maybe even beforehand. I know why he was hated, and I don't hate him for that. In fact, it made my respect for him grow 20 fold. His parents? I couldn't care less who they are."

"Probably because they're below you." Kurenai stated. "Didn't I tell you not to get that sense of superiority?"

"This isn't a superiority complex, Kurenai-sensei." Hinata told her. "In fact, I know they're a lot better than the Hyuuga Clan. Especially me. It's not the parents that make the child. It's the child that makes the parents. He's been doing his parents proud already, as that's one of his goals now."

"Kurenai, are you aware of Kakashi-sensei's Jounin Sensei?" Naruto asked.

"Why?"

"Yes or no?"

"Only bits and pieces. I would figure it was the Yondaime."

"That would correct, Kurenai." Kakashi stated, lazily. "You ever wonder why Naruto and my sensei look so much alike?"

Kurenai stopped in her tracks, and looked directly at Naruto. She was figuring out every possibility, but they all point to one thing. "No... You couldn't be... He never married..."

"Oh, they were married." Naruto told her. "And I believe you also know who my mother is, since she's the only Uzumaki to stay in Konohagakure for 2 years before my birth. They were both my parents."

Kurenai was about to faint. "Please... No more talking." She gripped her head. "This is too much information for me to handle."

"Sure, why not?" Naruto stated. "Oh look, we're here." True to Naruto's word, they were approaching the gates.

"Team 8 and Team 7 returning from our mission." Kakashi stated.

"Alright. You know the drill, I guess." Kakashi and Kurenai nodded.

Both teams, Genin included, came up to the Hokage's office for the report.

"Lord Hokage, we have a bit of somewhat disturbing news on the situation down there." Kakashi stated.

"Yes? What is it, Kakashi?"

"I believe it would be better if Naruto explained it." Kakashi stated, prompting Naruto to step forward.

"Lord Hokage, It wasn't the living that needed to be taken care of. They were Undead. What's more is, they were headed by a B-class demon that claimed to be A-class. I kind of told the others to leave the demon to me." Naruto stated, before explaining what happened between him and the Demon Chicken, as they called him. He left out the part of the Tag-out. "Did you know they make great fried chicken?" He added offhandedly.

"No, I did not. Now, can you continue?"

"Actually, that was the last of it. We stayed back to rest up, and then we came back. Nothing else happened on the Mission." Naruto stated.

"You are hiding something, Naruto." Sarutobi stated.

"The only reason I haven't said anything on that, is because it isn't relevant to the mission." Naruto said, earning a nod, although, Hinata did have a slight blush on her cheeks. No one noticed, though.

"Very well, you are all dismissed. Naruto, I would like to talk to you further before you leave." naruto nodded, and everyone else left.

"Alright, I know you left something out, and now I want to know what it is."

"Actually, I left 2 things out. One I left out due to some that aren't aware of my tenant being present. The other was personal. The personal one was irrelevant to the mission, while the other one was."

"Leave the personal one alone. What is the other one?" He asked, after activating the privacy seal.

"There is something Kyuubi and I came up with. It's called the Tag-out. Basically, I allow him to perform a partial possession with my body. The only noticeable change is in the voice, which becomes his, and the eyes, which also become the same as his. The is not to say the body is altered. Quite the opposite. No other physical changes are made. However, the Jutsu repertoire is not only expanded, but so is the power of the Jutsu. However, there is a massive drawback."

"Drawback?" Sarutobi stated.

"Since there are no real physical changes, the body can only handle so much before it breaks down. In another sense, it allows the Kyuubi to have full reign with my body, but whatever it does, though it may not affect him normally, if the body itself is not up to snuff with the actions, the results can be disastrous. The body is likely to pass out after the Tag-out is complete. There is a time limit for it, as well. Mainly as a safety feature. The limit itself is 20 minutes. However, if I run out of Chakra myself beforehand, it will automatically reverse it, and I will pass out. I'm not likely to wake for several hours afterwards."

"Any other side effects that I should know of?" Sarutobi asked.

"There are a few, but they aren't permanent. My feelings are amplified when that happens. This doesn't just go for Anger, hatred, and the like. This also applies to things such as love, lust, happiness, everything. There are 2 main requirements for it, and that's why I haven't mentioned it until now."

"Requirements?"

"The first one is that one must have another being with their own soul within them. Therefore, a Jinchuuriki is able to perform it. I would not suggest an Unstable Jinchuuriki to learn it, as it could backfire." Naruto explained.

"And the second?"

"The second is a somewhat good relationship with the other being, and a mutual agreement beforehand. This is not the case with many Jinchuuriki, and that is why it has rarely showed itself. Nevermind the fact that I'm the first Kyuubi Jinchuuriki to know of it." Naruto stated.

"And this would be a bad idea to use in a lost case against multiple opponents?"

"Basically. If it's one on one, then it's a somewhat good idea, but only as a Last Resort. I wouldn't want to use it if it isn't necessary. That also leads to what happened while I was unconscious after that little event. That is the personal event that I left out. Both of us were watching from my mindscape, and I couldn't do anything to stop it."

"Now, I'm curious."

"I'd rather not say." Naruto blushed a bit. "It's not really decent, and it seems that me doing that affected Hinata somehow. I'm not completely sure, but it hasn't happened before. My body was not completely aware of it, but both Kyuubi and myself are."

"Don't tell me that you..."

"No, it didn't go that far." Naruto stated. "If it did, I could never forgive myself. Regardless of the fact I couldn't do a thing about it. Luckily she snapped out of it before it did, and she then passed out on top of me. Somehow, she managed to get my pants back in order while we were both out of it. I just hope she doesn't remember that event."

"As do I. Anything else I should know about this?"

"Nothing as of now. And Danzou's Trial?"

"In 4 days. He is not aware of it, but the next council meeting, which you are to be a part of, taking the place of the Uzumaki Clan seat, is at that same day, and that's when we shall bring it all to light. There should be a representative there, but I doubt there is anyone that you can trust for that."

"There was once an Uzumaki Clan seat?"

"Yes, your mother was in that seat before you were born." Sarutobi stated. "The council will be furious, without a doubt."

"Well, they don't have much say on it. And given the fact that the Uzumaki clan had a seat on the council years ago, but was unable to be filled, it was probably forgotten about. Due to this, they will argue, but they can't say anything once that particular piece of info is brought up. However, we will have to bring up the matter of my mother." Naruto stated.

"I am aware of that. Do you wish for your father's identity to be revealed, as well?"

"Then they would place me under the CRA. However, I did some reading on the laws, and it clearly states that I can choose whether or not to allow it to take place. Due to this, I'm not going to go for it. The CRA may be placed upon my children, but only if their mother, myself, and they agree to it. It will have to be a consensus of the 3, and it cannot be with someone they do not love genuinely. That's why myself and their mother will be involved in their decision. I will not allow arranged marriages without my children's consent."

"I see. And what lead to this decision?"

"I tend to have some kind of ability to know what a person truly feels in their heart. I don't know how it came to be, or if something else is involved. Whatever the case, I will not allow my children to marry if the person does not love them for them, and not their name, or whatever. I want no attempts for political grab. Also, make a note that my mother just so happened to be the Heiress to Whirlpool country, which was just north of Wave Country. That essentially means I'm royalty."

"Will you be willing to abide by those same conditions?" Sarutobi asked.

"That is debatable. Hinata must first agree, and they must love me for me. If no others come before my 17th birthday, then there will be no others to come, and nothing else can happen. This is so there is no grab for political power. Should I choose this route, there is already one other in line for it, and it can strengthen ties between our village and Takigakure."

"The Jinchuuriki that appeared at the Summons Meeting, correct?" Naruto nodded at this. "We should inform them if you do choose this route."

"It would be better if I went there in person first. I already have the Chakra signature of her Bijuu, and therefore, can find her easily. If I can't, then Kyuubi can. Either way, I can find her. Until then her admittance into this is to be kept secret. She already has Hinata's approval, so you know." Naruto stated.

"I understand the circumstances." Sarutobi stated.

"Then I will take my leave, Lord Hokage." Naruto stated, before walking out the door. Sarutobi then smirked, before releasing the Privacy seals. 'Naruto, you may be playing a dangerous game, but it's not the most dangerous one you've played. Of that, I am certain.' He thought as he got back to the paperwork.

-Naruto's estate-

Naruto found himself at his table with Hinata. "Naruto, there's something you should know about what happened on the mission."

"Which part?"

"When you were out of it. I don't know what came over me, or even possessed me to do that, but..."

"I understand, Hinata." This froze her in place. "I was watching the entire thing from my mindscape. I'm glad you stopped before you went too far, but still... That was cutting it close, don't you think?"

She was knocked out of her stupor, and managed a nod. "Although, now I have some questions regarding that particular event. Try to answer as honestly as you can."

She nodded. "Well, you say you don't know what came over you. Did you want to do that before any of this, but held it back due to respect, or something?" She gave a hesitant nod. "Did the feeling of wanting to do that increase after I did the Tag-out?"

Hinata then froze again. 'It... It did increase when that happened... But then that means...'

"That's why I did that, isn't it?" Hinata asked.

"If it increased after that, then the longer you're around me while in that state, the harder it is for your will to hold it back. It also means that you were exposed to the Emotion enhancement part of it. For example, if I was thinking like that, and wanted to do so, but held back due to respect for you, which is highly likely, then not only would I have a harder time not doing that... I might just jump you. I'm still not aware of the exact level of amplification for it, though. That's what troubles me."

"You mean to say that if we're both like that, and you perform the Tag-out..."

"Then we'd basically be screw each other so hard, and nothing will stop us. And if it happens in here, no one will know of it." Naruto stated.

Hinata took that moment to be a little bold. "Would you like to find out for sure?"

"Please tell me you're not still under the effects of it." Naruto asked.

"No, but it did get me a little bolder." Hinata replied.

"I don't think that's a good idea. Not yet, at least." Naruto told her. Then a thought occurred. "I wonder if Tsunade's back in the village."

Hinata found the topic change somewhat disheartening, but needed. "I don't know... should we check it out?"

"Let's find out tomorrow." Naruto suggested. "I'll be meditating in the Garden outside the waterfall. You can take the usual bed. I don't think I can trust myself not to do that after what just happened. I figure it best to let it blow over, you know?"

She nodded in agreement. "Also, there is to be a Council Meeting in a few days. I'll have to attend the meeting as the Uzumaki Clan head."

"We're not an official clan yet."

"Considering the fact there's already a seat for the Uzumaki Clan, I'm just filling it in."

"And if you can't make it?" Hinata asked.

"Then I'd have a Youki Clone ready for it, and after the meeting it will leave, make another one, seal it, and dispel. That way I can be there and on a mission at the same time. The first time, though, I'd be going in person, as my mother's heritage is going to be revealed. It will allow me to take the spot. I believe I could make a copy of my birth certificate, and show it to the Council. Then there is nothing they can do about it."

"but wouldn't they know of your father as well?"

"I'm afraid so. No one will see me as me after that, though. It will also give them some grounds to place me under the CRA. Because of this, I'll bring the official laws regarding the CRA. You said Fu could join in should I go for it. Am I to assume this has yet to change?"

"No, it's still in place. But don't you think we should go to her village in person first?"

"I had the same thought." Naruto stated. "If something does happen, Jiji will want us on the team, as we already know a local ninja."

"That's good for us. We have an advantage in localization." Hinata added.

-North Gate-

Someone was walking up to the Village Gate. "State your name and business."

"Of course. My name is...

00000x00000

EVIL CLIFFHANGER NO JUTSU!

Sorry, I just had to do that.

In regards to what truly happened between Hinata and Naruto, it was a simple BJ, but she was able to stop before going any further. She did get one shot from him, though. She did swallow it all, for those extreme perverts out there.

In any case, who is the surprise visitor? Why are they there?

Find out next time, on Naruto: Chakra Sage!

On an unrelated note, I was just killing off zombies before typing up the Zombie mission. That's kind of why I put it there.
