But there is still a chance that Chizuru and Sayo might be in as well. Unknown for now. But I have some writing to do. Also sorry about the last chapter, it was rushed a bit. My Laptop was going and I just got her back. I'll try to catch up in updates.

The Storm in the Nightmare

"So that's why Negi was in a life or death struggle with a pair of sharks. Thought so." Naruto said amused.

"Yea... but we messed it up somehow." Ku said.

"No you didn't. You didn't mess up. You found out how not to help Negi and Asuna. But you need only one way to make it work." Naruto said in a wise tone. "But... let them handle it. This is not something that can be handled by outsiders. Only Negi, Asuna and maybe one other can help this little problem." Naruto said looking at Ayaka. Naruto smiled when she got it. "Anyway, I'll be at the beach if you need me girls." He waved goodbye to them.

(With Negi)

Negi was down in the dumps right now. Asuna was still mad at him. And would sooner feed him to the dogs then save him from them.

"Look brother. What an awesome sunset. A nice view from a relaxing place like this." Kamo said aloud.

"This isn't a relaxing place not with Asuna still mad at me!" Negi said in a childish manner. Crying a bit too.

"Don't worry about it. Like master Naruto said, she'll forgive you sooner or later." Kamo tried to make Negi feel better.

"It's the later part I'm worried about." Negi said in a depressed tone.

"Negi-sensei?"

Negi looked behind him to see Yue and Nodoka in their swimsuits.

"Sensei are you all right?" Nodoka asked.

"Have you made up with Asuna yet?" Yue asked him.

"Oh... Yue Nodoka."

"Why are you fighting with her in the first place?" Yue was wondering why from the start.

"Well... you see." Negi told them why Asuna was so pissed at him.

(Back with Naruto)

Naruto was currently getting a tan. He was setting in a long chair with nothing but his swim shorts. He was decked out with sun glasses and even a drink with a small umbrella in it. Hell Kyuubi still in her fox form was also decked out the same. Sun glasses and small umbrella drink too.

"Ah~~~ this is the life." Naruto said out loud.

"Yea you said it."

"A tan... hot sun... cold drink."

"Yea you said it."

"Let's not forget the girls in bikinis."

"Yea you said it."

"To think that Negi's and Asuna's little disagreement lead to this." Naruto commented.

"Yea you said it." Kyu said again.

"Your not even listing to me are you?"

"Yea you said it."

"Thought so."

Naruto heard a shutter from a camera. Knowing full well that Kasumi was nearby. Well... can't let her searching go to waste.

"Well. I'm going for a swim. Maybe I should go skinny dipping?"

Naruto heard a sound that sound like gashing water. And whispers. He just shrugged. Knowing that it was his fan club. And the camera shutter was Kasumi adding yet another picture to her collection of Naruto shirtless photos. Then Naruto got an evil idea.

"Hey Kyu, you think I should work out before taking a swim? Getting nice and sweaty in this hot son. I might have to take off my shorts." Naruto said aloud.

Kyu sensed what he was up too and played along. She gave a yip as if to say yes.

"Good fox." One of the girls whispered.

"Yea your right. I mean I don't want to get a cramp in the water, almost drown and need mouth to mouth." Naruto had an evil smirk hidden from the others.

The girls behind the tree line tried to keep from yelling out.

The he... accidently... dropped something. "Oh... what are you doing out of my pocket?" Naruto said playfully.

And when he bent over. Kasumi dropped her camera right before she could take a photo. And the moment was lost forever in time. And all the girls had a full blown blush. And Kasumi missed it. She would forever curse the day she missed that moment in history.

"Kasumi he's bending down again." One of her peepers... I mean friends told her. And this time she didn't miss the shot.

But before Naruto could do what he said he would Setsuna and Konoka came up to him. Both blushing. It was hard to tell who was blushing more. Or was it Naruto's abs doing it. They soon left and Kasumi thought she knew where. She lost the girls following her and followed Naruto, Konoka and Setsuna.

Naruto fell behind Konoka and Setsuna. He was thinking about his nightmare. And what it meant. He's had so many dreams that came true. And only a handful was good. The rest that came true ended up with heartbreak and loss of life. But he would ponder that later. He had caught up with Setsuna and Konoka when Kamo had said the nifty title for the group of heroes.

'Negi and Naruto's Marry Men'

"Sorry Kamo... that title has been denied." Naruto said with a smile.

"What! That's a great title." Kamo protested.

"No it's not. Your weren't thinking when you made it. Otherwise you'd know why it's a horrible title. I have a better one." Naruto went to the picture of the heroes and erased 'Merry Men' and put... "Now that's a title!" The new title was.

'Naruto and Negi's extremely sexy women'

As soon as Naruto finished it Setsuna slammed his face in with a mallet. "CHANGE IT!"

"Alright! Alright!" Naruto erased the 'sexy part and changed it... again. The 3rd title was now...

'Naruto and Negi's Guardian Women Corps'

"How's that?" Naruto asked.

"Better... much better." Kamo got on his shoulder.

Naruto and Kamo were knocked out by a mysterious assailant. Setsuna put away a mallet that just happen to have a Naruto size face print on it with a smaller face print of Kamo. Nothing out of the ordinary.

The day carried on with little to no Negi misshapes. Naruto was having a nice dream. He was eating an endless bowl of ramen. Being made by Chachamaru and being hugged by... Negi?

"Who what?" Negi had crawled into bed with Naruto hugging him. He remembered what Asuna said about his little problem about sleeping alone. Kids...

He heard a knock on the window glass door. It was Asuna. In her school issue swim suit. Naruto had an idea on what she wanted. So he did would any loving older brother would do for their younger brother in this type of situation. He kicked Negi out of the bed and pretend to be asleep. Laughed a bit when he witness what Asuna had planned. The whole jump kick thing scared the crap out of Negi. But it was a good laugh none the less.

(Time skip)

Eva was having fun beating up... I mean training Negi. Chachamaru and Chachazero were helping. Naruto was off to the side watching Negi getting his butt handed to him. Sipping tea while doing it. Kyu was on his shoulder. She had a stop watch in her paw. She clicked it when Negi had Eva's foot on his face.

"12 seconds Eva..." She said. The camera did a 180. Naruto was really upside down using chakra to cling to the roof nearby. Now how he was sipping tea upside down? Don't ask.

"So... how long before Eva admits that she's doing this for the fun of hurting Negi?" Naruto asked Kyu.

"Never..." She stated flatly.

"I agree." Naruto smiled. "Besides this is good for both of them." He stated.

"How is it good for both of them?" Kyu asked.

"Negi gets training in and Eva has someone to beat on. A side from me." Naruto and Kyu laughed. They stopped when Eva fell over on Chacha.

"Lots like you tried me out boya." She walked over slowly to Negi.

"Now remembered what I said Chibipire. No hickeys." Naruto said pulling out an orange book.

Then Eva went in for the kill. Naruto chuckled.

"Ah~~~ another fine training session wouldn't you say Chibipire?" Naruto asked with his normal nick name for Eva. Watching Negi leave moving like he's drunk.

"Hump."

"Ah don't be like that." Kyu said with her cute fox face that no female can resist.

"The boys more trouble then he's worth." Eva said annoyed.

"Yea... maybe. But you lost the bet. So you have to train him." Naruto said reading his book.

"Why don't you train him? You seem like the type to train little kids like him." Eva asked.

"He's by default a prodigy."

"So..."

"Well... when I was his age I was a drop out. The loser, dead last whatever you want to call it. I was never considered a prodigy until~ I think I was 16. And even then not much of one by my day's standers." He kept reading.

"So... that's no excuse to not train him." She argued.

"He'd die in the stuff I can train him in."

"And he can't when I train him?"

"He could. But he has a shot on living with your training. Honestly I can only train him in 3 things." Naruto thought hard. "And only when I say he's ready."

Eva was curious. "Why only 3 things?"

"Well. He has no chakra so I can't teach him normal jutsu. He only has the spiritual part of chakra. While ninjas, swordsmen and women, samurai and all them have only the physical part of chakra. The things I can teach him only really need energy to manipulate. But he is not ready for it." Naruto explained.

"When did you start to sound so smart?" Eva toyed.

"When I'm around pretty girls." Naruto said without missing a beat.

"Yea... I know, I am pretty." Eva tried to sound sexy.

"Hm? You say something?"

*SLAP*

She stormed away.

"I guess that's a yes?" Naruto said with an Eva sized hand print on his face.

The next day at class Naruto watch as Negi tried to teach in his state. He was kinda funny. He was more like on auto pilot. When the bell rang Negi tried to walk out. Only to hit the wall. Then the door frame. Naruto had a smile. Trying not to laugh at the kid. But hey... it was kinda funny.

"Don't worry girls... Negi is fine." He walked out as well.

But he knew the girls would not let this go unchecked.

Asuna was following Negi. "Why is he so tried from just a few hours training?"

"So he's training with Eva?"

"He staggers in morning training too."

"I must find out why Negi-sensei is in such a state."

"Hm~~?"

Asuna looked around her to see Ku, Yue, Nodoka, Kaede, Ayaka and Kasumi.

"What are you all doing here?" She whispered.

"Trying to find out why Negi looks like he does." Kasumi answered.

"Negi looks like me when I go through Naruto-sensei's training." Kaede said to them.

"Naruto-sensei trains you?" Ayaka asked surprised.

"Yea. Brutal training." She shivered.

"Hey... he's meeting up with Eva and Naruto-sensei." Ku said to them.

"You know... only training for about 3 hour each day... and being that worn out. You don't think..." Kasumi started.

"Think what?" Asuna asked.

"You know that. Stuff that is top secret that I can't say out loud." Kasumi smiled.

"HEY!"

"Quiet!" Asuna covered the mouth of Ayaka. Before she gave away their location.

"Asuna~~~ were coming too!" Konoka yelled with Setsuna following.

"Besides. Naruto would never let Eva take advantage of Negi." Asuna defended.

"But then again... Naruto-sensei is an open pervert." Kaede said aloud. With their imaginations running wild they followed Eva, Negi and Naruto to Eva's place.

"There're going inside to train because of the rain?" Yue asked.

"No... Not in an enclosed space like that?" Asuna said voicing her opinion.

"I told you... there're doing that." Kasumi said.

"Will you knock that off! Negi-sensei would never anything like that with that girl!" Ayaka yelled.

"Will you cut that out!" Asuna told Kasumi. "We don't need you pissing Ayaka off with your stupid theories!" Asuna told her.

"What? It's free press." Ayaka said leading the way to Eva's place.

When inside... the place was empty. The spilt up to find Naruto, Negi and Eva.

"Hey~ check this out!" Konoka yelled to the others. Everyone found her in a separate room. "I think I found Naruto's room." Konoka said in her normal manner.

"What makes you think that Konoka?" Asuna asked.

"Look." Konoka held up a picture of 3 kids and a man. The man had his hands on the two boy's heads and an eye smile while his face was covered by a mask. One boy had black hair and a expressionless face. The other looked like a younger Naruto with a scowl on his face while the 3rd kid was a little girl with pink hair. She looked all happy. "Doesn't the blond look like Naruto? He's so cute!" Konoka said hugging the photo to her chest.

"Hey hey look at this! I think I found Naruto's parents." Kasumi said snooping around.

"And how do you know that?"

"Well... look." She showed them a picture of 2 people. One was a tall spiky blond haired man. He had a grin on his face that looked like Naruto's. And a red haired woman. Her hair went down to the back of her knees. She was holding her stomach. She was obviously pregnant. On the bottom it said

Minato and Kushina Namikaze. 10 months pregnant.

"10 mouths? I thought that it was 9 mouths." Asuna questioned.

"Maybe he was just born late." Kaede said aloud.

"Hey guys down here!" They heard a yelled.

When everyone cleared out Asuna saw something out of the corner of her eye. It was a book. But not like other books it was different. It looked somewhat old. The book's title was 'The Last Generation of Jinjuriki.' She didn't know what that meant. But...

"Hey Asuna... come on." Konoka yelled to her friend.

"Coming." She said leaving the room leaving the book on the table.

Mean while a pair of girls found a wounded dog in the rain.

The girls found themselves in a massive place. They did some snooping and heard voices that sounded like Negi, Eva, Naruto and Chachamaru. They were around the corner listening.

"... more yes?"

"B-but... I can't." The voice of Negi was heard.

"Man chibipire... you just can't give the kid a break can you? You're going to suck that dry at this rate." Naruto's voice was heard.

"Are you offering yourself then?" Eva voice sounded almost... "You can last longer than any other man."

"I'm busy with Chacha right now. Oh yea right their Chacha." Naruto sounded a little bit too relaxed.

"Is this to your liking Naruto...?" Chacha's voice came to their ears.

"Oh yea... you sure do know how to please." Naruto voiced his approval.

"Brother... help me... please." Negi sounded desperate.

"Well. There is one thing I can help you with." They heard some rustling of a bag. "Here take this." They heard Naruto toss something.

"What's this?" Negi asked.

"It's a pill of sorts. I'm not supposed to give it to kids... but Eva is tireless so yea. Take it see how you feel." Naruto said before... "Man Chachamaru, are you sure this wasn't in your programming?"

They heard a small crunch. "Hey... I feel it working already."

"See boya. Already nice and perky. Now... back to business." Eva's voice sounded soft yet forceful.

"Ow. Not so hard."

"Go easy on the kid Eva. He doesn't have limitless stamina like me you know." Naruto said cheerily. "Oh man can you go a little deeper Chacha?"

"Yes... of course Naruto."

Back behind the wall. All the girls blushing mad. But Ayaka was just mad. So was Asuna. Then...

"HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO!" Both Asuna and Ayaka started. Before they fell at the scene before them.

Eva had her teeth in Negi's arm while Naruto was getting a massage from Chachamaru. He was laying face down on a table. "Should I add heating to my hands to increase the sensation Naruto?" Chacha asked.

"Yea please do." Naruto said. Before looking up.

"What are you guys doing here?" Eva asked.

After a small explanation about what's going on and how the days go on in the villa. Naruto was just happy to know that the girls didn't kill him. Seeing as he would be the first to be hit. By Asuna no less. Naruto was just happily sticking to the roof. Watching the girls going around being teenage girls. And annoying Eva. Man he loved the face of Eva was making when annoyed.

"So what about you Naruto. Are you a mage like Negi?" Kasumi asked.

"No... I'm a Ninja. Like Kaede but I use old school techniques." Naruto said reading the book.

Looking up. Or down as it were, he saw Yue, Nodoka, Konoka and the rest trying to use little wands and do magic. He laughed to himself until a rock hit him causing him to fall on the table.

"Ow..." He looked at the culprit. Who looked back with the cutest fox face ever. He sighed to himself. Getting the picture. "Setsuna, Kaede, Konoka, Ku." He called the names of his partners. Kyu had explained to him how he even had partners. But that's later. "Follow me please."

Everyone looked at Naruto's retreating form. He turned back. "Coming?"

"Hey Setsuna. Maybe he's going to ask you to (Mumble Mumble)." Kasumi whispered the last words to Setsuna's ear. Earning a massive punch to the head by Asuna thanks to her anti-pervert hearing ears. None the less the girls followed Naruto. When at a secluded place.

"Now then. I think it's time that I train for what's to come. There is a man that... towers my own power." Naruto said somewhat hesitantly. All of the girls looked shocked at first. Then scared. They know how powerful Naruto is. Or at least what they've seen. "I must train you for if he comes for you." He looked at them all.

"Konoka, I'm not that good at the stuff you can do. But Kyu is."

"Kyu?" She looked somewhat confused.

He pointed to his shoulder. "My name is Kyu. But at one point in time I was once known as Kyuubi the Nine tailed Fox. I can help you with healing and protecting magic. Its not too much different from chakra. All it really is to being like us is just half of chakra. Follow me Konoka." Konoka followed the cute fox a bit away from Naruto and the other 3.

"Now. I can help you 3 with your area of expertise. Ku I don't have a form when it comes to hand to hand. But I can condition you to fight at a higher level then you are at right now." He smiled and Ku looked excited.

"Kaede I'll be upping your training as is." Kaede shuttered a bit.

"Setsuna. You said you use seals to help your swordsmanship. Well, there I can help you the most." He smiled that made her blush. "My clan, the Uzumaki clan, from where I come from were seal masters in their time."

All of them looked at him for a second. "Were?" Kaede asked.

"Yes, the Uzumaki clan are all but extinct. I am the last." Naruto's face fell.

"What happen to them?" Setsuna asked.

Naruto sighed. "They were too powerful. And the thing that follows power over anything else is fear. They were killed off by two villages that feared them. They used their overwhelming numbers to kill and destroy the Uzumaki clan. My mother was the last. But enough of that. The Uzumaki clan were 2nd to none in terms of seals." He pulled out a small scroll. "Now, what do you think is in here?" He asked. No one answered. "And that is the beauty of seals. If you have them, your enemy will never know what to expect until its staring them right in the face." He released the contents of the scroll. And it was an entire training arena. "And I can help you with your swordsmanship a bit as well. Or at least help you fight faster. Now then... let's play." He gave a very EVIL smile. One loud gulp was heard from the 3.

(Time skip that night)

Naruto was watching Negi train. The boy had a day off so to speak in terms of being train to death. But I guess he had the hard working thing going. That's good for the boy his age. Young and strong. Two things good going for the kid. If he is a bit naive at times. Then he pulled off something that intrigued him. Negi had wind and lighting elements. One being his prime. The other he had fought many times before. Then he thought about it. "Hm~~. I wonder." Naruto saw Asuna come and berate him for his training when he should be asleep.

"Your keeping your distance again?" Kyu stated more than asked.

"I'm not supposed to be in this time Kyu. The less I interfere the better." Naruto said reading his book still.

"You're turning emo on my Naruto." Kyu chuckled.

"Hey now. Let's not go that far. I'm not emo. I'm just letting this kids find the answers to their own problems."

"And this guy that knows your name and past?" Kyu asked. Wondering what he's going to do with this guy.

"He... is my problem. And I'll fix it myself. If he truly is from my past. Then it is up to me to fix it. No one else could anyway. He is on a level above my own. It'll take everything I've got to bring him down. And I will." He watched Negi and Asuna talking about Negi's past.

He did a fancy thing on the ground. A seal array. From here he couldn't tell what from this angle but since he could hear what their saying then he figured something about memories or something. He saw Eva and Nodoka off to the side. Then he saw Eva play Nodoka, she stood no chance. Naruto decided to watch about Negi's past from Nodoka's book. But Kyu stopped him.

"Are you going to share your past with them?"

"You know I must. They must know about me in order to understand what danger they are in just by being near me." Naruto said jumping next to the girls that had joined Eva and Nodoka. But before that he heard Kyu say. "You've forgotten... haven't you?" He didn't know what that meant but placed it in the back of his mind for now.

Naruto saw Negi's past. Or at least the past he blames himself for. Trying to get in trouble to get his hero father to save him. Even going so far as jumping into a river and trying to drown himself to get his father to help him. He surprised a sad laugh. Life moved on for the little guy. Then, when demons came for his village. Destroyed it and petrified everyone in it. How his father came, mush to Naruto's surprise, and saved Negi. Only ones from the village that escape the fate of being petrified were him, his sister, who was a looker, and the little girl Anya. Then the last words to him before Nagi left. To Naruto it looked like a page from his story. He thought it was interesting to say the least. He and Negi has somewhat similar upbringing. Baring a few things here and there. But Naruto thought something was weird. Where was his mother in all this? Did she just up and leave? Or did she die. Sometime during the whole 'invasion of privacy' thing Konoka put her head on his shoulder. But it was nice so he didn't complain.

"What are you some kind of moron!"

Naruto's thoughts were destroyed by Asuna's yell. She yelled at Negi for blaming himself for the whole village burning to the ground.

"Leave it to me. I'll defiantly find you're... UWAAH!" Asuna Negi and Kamo just saw all of the girls behind him. Obviously they had listened in on Negi's story. All of them were crying except Chachamaru. And Chachazero.

"Negi/Negi-sensei!" The girls yelled.

"Now girls, don't go pushing him over the edge now." Naruto said voicing his concern. Just an opinion of course.

Soon all the girls proclaimed that they'll help him find his father. Naruto just laughed at the shocked face Negi gave trying to convince them otherwise.

"Don't bother Negi. They made up their minds. You can't change it so easily." He told him. Laughing wholeheartedly at Negi's attempt to call them off this journey they decided they would do for Negi. Even Eva had a tear in her eye. Then the girls decided to party again in celebration of them taking this new quest on. Again Naruto laughed. But then Naruto stopped. He remembered something.

"Hey Negi..." Naruto landed next to the boy.

"Yea?"

"Follow me will you. I have something for you." The two boys walked away for a bit. And hadn't been seen for hours.

(Days later by the villa's time)

"See ya!" The girls were leaving.

"It's really pouring out." Konoka looked up to the dark raining sky.

"Yea, and we have only 1 umbrella." Negi told them.

"No we don't stick near me Konoka. I'll keep you dry." Naruto smirked.

"Oh you." She bopped over the head with a small mallet.

"How are you going to do that Naruto-se... Naruto?" Setsuna was still getting over calling Naruto Naruto-sensei.

"Basic water manipulation. Beside, wet fox small horror able.

*HISS*

Kyu hissed like a cat and made 3 nice cut marks on Naruto's face.

"Ow ow ow ow! Stupid fox." He muttered. "Anyway, check it." Naruto started to use water manipulation. And bam instant umbrella.

"I'm going to walk the girls to their dorms. Don't want anything happening to them on the way do with Chibipire?" Naruto grinned. She saw that Eva wanted nothing more than to slash his throat open.

Almost their to the dorms. Naruto, Kamo, Negi, Asuna, Setsuna, and Konoka were talking.

"Hm?" Naruto sensed something.

"What is it master?" Kamo asked.

"No... it's nothing." Naruto told him.

"I need to train harder." Negi said with determination.

"Ha-ha, that's the spirit Negi. Train so hard you can't lose." Naruto ruffled Negi's hair.

"Bye, see you all later!" Negi ran off.

"There he goes again. Training so hard he passes out." Asuna commented. "Normal boys his age are running off with kids his age."

"True. But the only people around Negi-sensei are older girls or just older than him." Setsuna said looking at the retreating form of Negi.

"Speaking of which, Negi speaks to all of us politely other than Kamo and you Naruto." Konoka said aloud.

"Yes, that is true." Kamo said.

"But the thing you must realize is that Negi isn't a normal boy. Born into the world he was, Negi was born without the right to have a normal childhood. It's just the way things are." Naruto told them.

"That's unfair!" Asuna yelled a bit. "He should be able to run around and goof off."

"Again, I agree. But in this world, the world we know. No one is born normal. Whether you have powers or not, if you know of this world you give up your right at a normal life. Trying to ignore it, or hid it form them like Konoka's father did leave them defenseless to whatever is after them Asuna." He remembered his own childhood. Or lack thereof. "It's just how it is. Everything has a price." He sighed.

"Sounds like you speck from experience Naruto." Setsuna said to him.

"I do." He said without hesitating.

"What about your story Naruto? We don't know much about you." Asuna said wondering.

Naruto thought about it. "My story... is a long one. One I'll tell you about later. For now, you girls take care and be safe. You hear?" Naruto waved them off.

"Bye Naruto, see you later!" Konoka yelled.

Naruto walk away, allowing the rain to fall on him. But kept the water shield up for Kamo and Kyu.

"What is your story Master?" Kamo asked.

"A very long one. I'll tell our entire little group about it later. Including you Kamo, for now, let's let it be." Naruto told him and Kamo nodded.

"Naruto, about what we felt earlier. I think something has penetrated the barrier." Kyu told him.

"I know, I felt it too. Kamo, I want you to go back to Asuna. I'll try to handle this without alerting the others. It's not a great threat to me, but it can be to Negi and the girls. Got it?"

"Got it! I'm all over it Naruto." Kamo hoped off and started running.

"Are you sure that you can handle it alone Naruto? I mean, you've been getting weaker, not strong since the Kyoto trip. And your power has been... for the lack of a better word, weaker now. Your healing ability has lessened, you speed has dropped. Your physical power is shot to hell. Hell even your stamina is lower than normal." Kyu voiced her concern.

"I know, I know. Don't remind me. I'm getting weaker every day. I'd thought I'd get stronger as time progress. I guess I was wrong?" Naruto was wondering the same thing.

"No, you should have gotten at least most of your power back now. Not reverse. So what the heck is going on?" Kyu had more questions than answers right now.

"I don't know Kyu. I just don't know."

"Don't you?"

"What was that?" Naruto asked.

"What was what Naruto?" Kyu looked at Naruto with worry in her eyes.

"I'm getting stronger..."

"Who's there!" Naruto yelled. Not seeing of feeling anyone in the area other than them.

"... as you grow weaker..."

"Come out now!" Naruto yelled.

"Naruto, no one's here." Kyu had an idea what Naruto was hearing.

"... its only... a matter... of time."

Naruto no longer felt the voice.

Meanwhile Ayaka had her own problems with Kotarou as her new roommate. As the boy was rude and an ass sometimes. That and Ayaka thought he looked familiar, but couldn't put her figure on it.

"What's the situation?" A strong voice came from nowhere.

"We found them. That guy that retaliated near the school campus." One voice from a slime form said.

"Maybe the spell worked? Now he's talking causally with the ladies." Another told the voice.

"It's a temporary memory loss."

"Good, let's eliminate them from here."

"The boy's powers are limited. He is no problem."

"Follow our plan, and don't let the demon king find you. Or that vampire."

"Roger, it's all good."

"Now... let it, begin."

All around the campus. Naruto and Negi's friends were being captured. The first were Nodoka, Yue, Ku, and Kazumi. While in the bath house the 3 slimes captured them. At Ayaka dorm room, an old man knocked Ayaka out with a flower. In the dorm halls, the slimes sisters captured Setsuna, using Konoka's form to lower her guard.

"!" Naruto felt Setsuna's voice in his head before she went silent. Like something had happened to her. "I'm too late. It's happening now."

Negi also felt a disturbance and left Konoka and Asuna to check it out. Not knowing that something was outside the window.

Kaede was walking to the store when she felt someone behind her. Too late she realized that the person was a threat. The she saw black.

Mana was doing her rounds around campus. She felt something going down at the dorms.

"Hello young lady."

She turned to the voice. "Wha." Then darkness.

"MANA!" Naruto came in a flash. "YOU!" Naruto looked at the hooded man with nothing but rage.

"Hello Naruto. It's nice to see you again."

"I wish I could say the same. Now put Mana down nice and easy and I won't hurt you... too much." Naruto threatened the man.
"Always had a way with words Naruto. But that is what was so special about you. Could always inspire with words and spirit opposed to fear and power. But I have something for you. This is not the only girl I took form you. I'd suggest that you find that dear boy Negi." The man stated to disappear. Naruto tried to stop him. "Before all of your weak little girlfriends die." He vanished in darkness.

"DAMMIT!" Naruto cursed.

"Not now Naruto, you need to find Negi, he is at Ayaka's dorm room right now." Kyu told him.

"Right." He vanished in a flash. And appeared next to Negi. He was facing an old man who was holding Chizuru and Ayaka. Both were passed out. "Hey Negi, what's up?"

"Naruto!"

"Ah... your here too. I thought you'd be here a little sooner." The old man looked at Naruto. "The legends speak truly of you and your power. To appear and disappear at will."

"Really, did the legends tell of how I kick the ass of those that harm the people dear to me?" Naruto was about ready to do such a thing.

"Yes... they did. But if you do now, you'll never find the other that I have captured." Naruto sneered, and then smiled.

"What happened to your face their old man? Looks like someone got slapped for his trouble. I would say I feel sorry for you, but something tells me that you earned it." Naruto smiled.

So did the old man. "And the legends speak about your humor in the face of danger. Even I'm starting to believe you're him. But enough of that. Come and find me at the great tree plaza. And don't call for anyone else's aid. Come yourselves." The old man disappeared in water.

"Man that almost looks cool. Well, Negi I'm going on ahead. I'll see you there. Get mini dog boy their some help. And see if he will help." Naruto vanished in a flash.

Naruto come onto the scene just as Asuna kicked the old man in the face. "Ouch." He said aloud.

"NARUTO!" The group yelled in relief.

"Yo." He gave his 2 figure wave.

"Ah, I'd thought you'd be here first. After all, he told me you'd be here quicker than little Negi." The old man said.

"Now then... who's this we?" Naruto asked.

"It's me." The hooded man was behind Naruto.

'Crap.' Naruto was hit with one massive punch. And he crashed into the stands.

"I'm not surprised about your weakening power Naruto."

"NARUTO!" This time it was out of concern.

"Man that hurt." Naruto got up.

"Considering how this world is. It is to be expected. Kitsukage... my dear old friend." You could see the man's smile.

Asuna and Konoka's eyes widened. Kitsukage?

"You know so much about me. How come I know nothing of you?" Naruto asked wiping away some blood.

"You know a lot about me. Once you know my name, you'll know." He smiled again.

"Why are you doing this?" Konoka asked the man.

"I have my own reasons. I wish to see how Negi has grown from that time." The old man said.

"And I... love to mess with Naruto's heart. Hurting the ones he loves and cares for. That has been my job and life's goal... for the last 10,000 years." He smiled. Naruto's eyes widened but the girls looked confused.

"Naruto's not 10,000 years old." Konoka said.

"Oh... you didn't tell them Naruto? Not surprising. Considering what you are. What we are. Monsters... abominations... freaks of nature. Something that shouldn't even breathe with the humans that now life here."

"Shut up!"

"Oh... did I strike a chord?" The man walked to the bubble group and grabbed Kaede. Then placed his sword to her throat. "Interfere in this little fight between Negi and the old man Naruto. And she dies." The hooded man threatened.

"Errr!" Naruto's fist was clenched.

"I'd prefer not to harm Negi's friends. But if it would keep Naruto out of this fight. So be it."

"Fine, I won't interfere. As long as you don't interfere, whoever you are." Naruto looked at the hooded man. All he did was smile.

"I won't." He pushed Kaede back into the bubble. "My fight is with you. Will have it out after the kids are done playing... my old friend." Naruto was really getting pissed off with the guys smirk.

The old man walked up. Naruto knew why. He had felt a mass of energy behind him from Negi.

"Not bad at all." He held out his hand, and stopped the attack Negi launched. Naruto saw a necklace around Asuna's neck glow a bit. Naruto's eyes narrowed. He had felt this before when around Asuna. It made his...

'Did that old man cancel the attack with Asuna's power?'

"He blocked it." Negi assumed.

Kotarou looked at Naruto. "Alright, he's here. Now I can fight you!"

Naruto shuck his head no. "Maybe another time pip squeak. Focus on the task at hand."

"Now that Naruto is here we can win this fight no problem." Negi cheered.

"Sorry kid. But I need to save my strength to fight cape man over there. You need to fight the old man. I'll watch." Naruto told Negi.

"But, but..."

"No buts Negi. Besides, we don't need his help to beat that guy. Let's just kick his butt so I can fight blonde here." Kotarou was excited.

Naruto had a sad smile. He only hoped that it'll be that easy. But none the less, he kept an eye on the hooded man.

"Who are you! Why are you doing this!" Negi asked the old man.

"I just want to know your abilities. Nothing more. Defeat me and I'll return this friends of your back to you." The old man said.

"Ha! That's all piece of cake!" Kotarou yelled. Happy that he's going to fight someone.

Naruto saw Negi thinking. Almost like he thought it was his fault or something. "Alright, I'll go first, Kotarou cover me." Negi said getting into his stance.

Then Negi and Kotarou got into a small verbal fight about who will fight the old man first. This was ticking off Naruto.

"Boys..."

The boys were still fighting.

"Boys..."

They were still fighting.

"BOYS!"

"WHAT!" They both yelled still in the heat of the augment.

"Look here for a moment." Naruto pointed to his right hands middle and index finger. Then said fingers made contact with their heads.

"Ow!" They both held their head at the sting of pain. "You might want to pay attention to the 3 slime sister's kids." Naruto jumped away to watch the fight take place. Although his eyes were trained on Negi and the slime sisters fight. He was watching the hooded man. Making sure that he didn't interfere.

"Alright Negi, take a break. Close combat is your weak point after all." Kotarou said with a grin.

"Shut up. I'll have you know that I've been training for this." Negi retaliated. "If I recall correctly, you don't hit girls. Right Kotarou?"

"That's right, I don't. But... as long as their slimy..." Kotarou punched them. "They're fair game!"

Kotarou punched on and it hit another one. Negi got ready by enhancing himself with his magic before engaging the 3 slime sister. When the slime sister wrapped around his arm he hit her in the face knocking her off balance then knocked her away from him. When Kotarou asked what how he learned to fight and Negi told him. He laughed a bit. The 3 slime sisters attacked again, but Negi and Kotarou's own skill was too much for them, and again they were knocked back.

"Not bad." Naruto said to himself. These kids had more talent then he gave them credit for.

Again Negi and Kotarou showed their skill when the slime sisters attack again.

"Go brother!" Kamo told Negi from his head.

Naruto thought that Kamo must have some short of super glue magic going for him to stay on Negi's head for so long.

"He, your pretty tough for soft creatures. But, your opponent..." Kotarou spilt into 3. "...is me!"

Negi then brought out a mini star wand and fired 1 light arrow.

'Why only 1?'

The old man blocked it with one hand. But Negi then got behind him. He held up a small bottle. "We've won." He stated.

'Is it really that easy?' Naruto thought.

"Demon Sealing Bottle!"

The bottle started its magic and started to suck in the old man. But... the necklace on Asuna stated glowing again then she screamed in pain.

"ASUNA!"

The bottle's magic was canceled. Naruto's eyes narrowed.

"Well, it seems the experiment was successful. Works completely against magic spells." The old man tightened his gloves. "Well now... it's about time I got serious. There's no way that it can end that easily for you... Negi Springfield." The old man told the young man. "I have placed up a barrier. No matter what we do, no one will feel or hear it." He got behind Negi. And with one massive punch he almost hit Negi and Kotarou but they dodged.

"Finally! The old man is getting serious!" Kotarou smiled as the old guy fired off more demon fist punches.

When the boys got some breathing room they retaliated. But both attacks were again canceled. When Asuna's necklace glowed again.

"Negi, Kotarou, he is using Asuna's powers to cancel out your magic. Don't bother with that, fight hand to hand." Naruto told them.

"Clever of you demon king." The old man said. "Yes... Asuna a normal mundane girl. Or is she? But for some reason or another she has the power to cancel out all forms of magic. This makes her very dangerous to anyone. Mage, demon or otherwise." The old man explained. "Now then, now that you can't use your magic. If you're a man... then FIGHT LIKE ONE!" He tried to punch them but they dodged.

Naruto watched the battle unfold. Kyu still on his shoulder. "Naruto, you think Asuna's power is affecting you?"

"No... I don't think so... If that were the case I wouldn't have gotten back so of my power at all. No something else has happened to me. Or still is." He told her. He knew something else was wrong, and Asuna's powers or not he needed to find out what.

The battle had been tipped for the worse. Negi and Kotarou had been on the receiving end of all of the old guy's attacks. He was now serious.

"Boy oh boy. Is that all you got?" He sounded disappointed. "Your attacks are powerful... but they didn't even faze me Negi." Again he was disappointed.

They attacked again to no affect. Kotarou was knocked back almost too Naruto.

"Or maybe... Negi... you're not giving your best effort." He taunted.

"What! I am giving my best!" He told the old demon.

"Oh really?" He sounded unconvinced.

Naruto noticed that the girls were up to something. You could always count on them to be up to something.

"What... or why do you fight?" He asked.

"Why do I fight?" Negi was confused.

"Yes. Take Kotarou for example. He fights, because he enjoys it. And solely for the propose of getting stronger." He explained to Negi. "And you? Maybe for your companions? How disappointing Negi. Such a disappointing reason to fight." He said. "A person's reason for fighting must be for oneself. Fight for oneself, love only oneself. That is the only way to be strong." he continued. "'Anger', 'hatred', 'vengeance'. All of those reasons make a person stronger. And helps them fight at their best capabilities. Or simply just to get stronger like Kotarou. If you fight for others... you will be weak. And never be strong."

"I fight..."

"Because of the guilt of putting these girls in danger?" He finished Negi's sentence. "So you can protect them when you put them in danger?"

Negi was shaken.

"Or maybe... just maybe..." He looked Negi in the eye. "You wish to... run away... form the memories on that day in the snow?" He had an evil like smile and look in his eye.

"How... how did you know about that?" He asked.

"Well then... how's this... strike you instead?" He took off his hat. And his head changed. Lighting and thunder lit up the night sky. Negi... on the other hand was having flashbacks. On that day that took almost everything from him.

"Yes... it is I Negi... whom you seek... of all the demons summoned that day... I alone came from the higher ranks. I'm also the one who purified your uncle, his friends, your village, and nearly you and your sister. And even that old magic user. Although, he did get his licks in." He put his hat back on.

Naruto saw the look in Negi's eyes.

"Well? Now do you have reason enough to fight?" He asked putting his hat back on.

Negi... needed no other convincing. He dashed in front of the old man, with speed that rivaled that of Jonin level ninja. With a magic enhanced punch he sent the old demon flying. He didn't let up as he continued his attacks. With another magic enhanced punch, elbow and kick. Then another punch to his face.

"He has gone berserk." Naruto said aloud.

"Much like you... just not at your level of power, speed or even anger. But he is but a child. Hopefully, he'll never be on your level of anger." Kyu said.

"Yes... let us hope he never become what I am."

"YES YES! THIS IS THE POWER OF THE THOUSAND MASTER'S SON!" He yelled. Being pummeled like he is. "This is how the thousand master's son should be. So my talent, power. It would be a pleasure to see such talent fully grown." He started to change into his demon form. "And yet... seeing such talent suddenly halted. Shall, in itself, be pleasure as well."

He was fully changed . And charging his petrifaction beam.

Negi was in his path, he could not change his course. He was doomed.

"Negi..." Kotarou was amazed by Negi's power. "Negi, you can't keep fighting like this!" Kotarou rushed in to help. Then at the last minute. He saved him from the beam.

When he saved him. He had a little blood running down his face. "You..." He raised his hand. "IDIOT!" He punched him, hard.

Naruto sighed in relief. "Kotarou hit him again will you." He told dog boy.

"Gladly!" He hit Negi again. Making a second bump on his head.

"And just one more time..." Naruto said again.

"No problem!" He did it again.

"Ow! Kotarou, Naruto!" Negi yelled.

"I see... is that all there is to your power...?"

"Hey! Shut up old man!" Naruto yelled.

"Hm?" He looked up at Naruto. Only to get a rock flick to the head.

"Negi, never fight like that again! To fight for oneself is NOT the way to be strong. It is for these too weak to do anything else. You too Kotarou. Back at Kyoto, you wanted to know the secret to true strength?" He said to the boys. "It is to protect those that you love. That you care for. That is the way to true strength."

"You're a broken record Naruto. You say that all the time. And yet it has not served you has it. That is why all of those close to you are now died. You family... your friends... everyone you've loved is gone." The hooded man said to them.

"Don't listen to him Negi, Kotarou. When you fight for the people you care about, you grow stronger... not weaker." Naruto said back.

"Right." Negi said. "Let's take him together." He told Kotarou.

"Right. Let's beat this guy. Let's see if what that big brother said is true." Kotarou gave a thumps up.

"Oh? You think the 2 of you can defeat me? I'd like to see you try." The demon smiled. But then he noticed that the girls were up to something.

Naruto saw this as well and smiled. The tables were about to be turned. When the girls were released from their bubble prison they spring into action. Konoka freed Setsuna, Ku freed Chizuru. Nodoka and Yue got the demon bottle and Kasumi took off Asuna's necklace. Making magic useful again.

"1, 2 now Nodoka!"

"Demon Sealing Bottle!" Nodoka yelled.

"Oh great, not the bottle again!" One of them yelled.

"We are the bad guys." The smart one of the 3 said.

Then they were sealed in again.

"Negi, Kotarou, go for it!" Naruto yelled.

"Right, Kotarou can you buy me some time. I have a plan." Negi asked Kotarou.

"Sure, no prob." Kotarou got in his battle stance. "Now old man, you can't protect yourself... from our magic!" Kotarou charged him with copies of himself.

But it was not enough. "Get lost Kotarou, I am after..." He hit the real Kotarou. "Negi alone." he charged his beam once more. Then he looked down, only to see Kotarou again.

"You shouldn't look away from the enemy. Old man." Kotarou did a clawed uppercut to the old man.

Then Negi moved in. He charged an elbow thrust and it hit the old man. He started his chanting, for a powerful spell. "Lighting Ax!" The spell it its mark.

But it still was not enough. "That won't be enough to defeat me Negi!"

"I didn't think it would." Negi said from behind him. "But I prepared."

He looked behind himself to see Negi. And he saw...

"Take this! Rasengan!" A magic charged Rasengan hit dead center of the demons chest.

'So... Naruto has taught his family's Jutsu to this runt? Why?'

"HAAAAAAAAA!" pushed more power into his Rasengan.

"ERRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

The demon started to spin upward, only to meet Negi there with another Rasengan. Then he hit the ground when Negi's second Rasengan hit him. The rain continued even harder than normal.

"Well... that was unexpected."

Negi landed next to the old man. "That... was powerful Negi... where did you learn that last trick of yours? It was almost as strong as the Lighing Ax that you used." He asked, starting to disappear.

"Naruto taught me. Although, it's far from even being as strong as it could be. I just barely got it to that point."

"Hehe, then I'd hate to see it at full power. Well... anyway..."

"You usefulness has ended."

His eyes widened. Before.

"AHHHH!" He screamed as he was destroyed. The hooded man had killed him. But he didn't stop there, he did a spin kick and hit Negi and Kotarou to the girls.

"Bind!" He said as all of the girls as well as Negi and Kotarou were on the ground being held by an unknown force.

Naruto jump down to face him. It was his turn to fight.

"Don't worry, they are unharmed. I just did that so they did not interfere. Not that doing so would change what will happen this night... Naruto... it has been far too long. 10,000 years in fact. Since the last time me and you faced off."

"Who are you!" Konoka yelled.

"I am an old friend of Naruto's. Me and Naruto... come from a time before magic was even a fantasy. isn't that right Naruto?" He asked. his old 'friend'.

"Kyu... go help the girls. I'll handle this." She nodded as she left his shoulder.

"As long as the girls don't interfere I won't hurt any of them. All I am interested is... hurting you Naruto." He had an insane and very EVIL laugh.

"You know my name. But I don't know yours? So... how about it? Care to tell me your name?" He pulled out a tri-kunai.

"Fair enough." He raised his head so show his eyes to Naruto.

Naruto's blood ran cold. He would remember those eyes to the day he dies.

"Like I said Naruto... We are old friends you and I." His voice sounded different. And yet, all too coldly familiar.

"I thought I had killed you..." Naruto was beyond angry.

"Almost Naruto... almost." He removed his hood. To reveal... his face. "Well... how do I look?"

"Like shit."

"Aw~~~ I'm hurt Naruto." He had mock sadness. "Is that anyway to great an old friend?"

"Old friend? No. You? Yes." He said looking at the man that he thought he had killed... 10,000 years ago.

"Hehe. You haven't changed." He said.

"No... I haven't. Neither have you... Kabuto." Naruto said with a sneer.

(Play Orochimaru theme song)

"Come now why such a look? You had thought you killed me oh so long ago. I told you Naruto. I have surpassed my old master beyond what he was able to do 1000 fold." Kabuto said with one of his smiles.

"Maybe so. Maybe you have. But what do you seek now? Immortality just like him? Or is it something else?" Naruto asked. Getting into his stance. Similar to his father's when he was alive.

"Immortality? Why search for something you already have? Unlike you Naruto I have been awake these last 10,000 years. What I am after is a little different." He smiled. One of that of a snake that looked at its next meal.

The rain didn't let up. As if it was crying for the victims of Kabuto's past.

"Oh? And what could that be?" Naruto asked, ready to kill this mistake.

"Oh... I am looking for a power that will bring back the Juubi into this world." Naruto eyes widened. "Then when I seal it inside me. I will cast Madara's old 'Moon's Eye' plan." He smiled at Naruto's shocked face.

"But... you need the..."

"The what? The Sharingan and the Rinnegan? Oh Naruto..." He closed his eyes. And opened them again. "Like I said. Why do you need it...? If you already have it...?" One eye... the Mangekyō Sharingan, the other... the Rinnegan. "When you killed Madara Uchiha, I picked up what was left of his body. Used technology of today and not too long ago..." He pointed to his eyes.

"Errrr!"

"What's the matter Naruto? Saddened that you failed to kill me?"

"No... because I'm going to fix that little mistake. Right here! Right now!" Naruto charged at Kabuto.

"Fool. Almighty Push!" Naruto was sent flying. "Why fight... when you can have others do it for you!" Kabuto did a lot of hand signs. "Summoning Jutsu: Reanimation!" Kabuto hit the ground. And in front of him... 5 coffins came from the ground.

"NO~~~!" Naruto didn't want to fight anyone he brought back.

"It's been a while since I last used this jutsu." Kabuto smiled.

The 5 coffins opened. And 5 figures came out from them.

"Can't you leave the died alone Kabuto! Let them rest in peace!"

"Why? Bring the dead back to life is fun. On top of that. It is so much fun when I force old friends fight long gone died friends." Kabuto laughed.

The girls were lost.

"There is an ability to bring back the dead? Is that even possible?" Mana asked.

"Yes... there is." Kyu answered her question. "Only Kabuto knows it. And it doesn't bring them back to the way they were before. They come back, minds intact, but... They are slaves to the one that summoned them." She took a breath. "If ordered. Fathers would kill sons. Mothers their daughters. Friends would kill friends. It is a forbidden jutsu." She looked sadly at Naruto. Forced to face, old friends. "But, Kabuto likes doing this. Forcing people to fight to the death against their own loved ones. On top of all this is that the body is near imposable to destroy." Kyu said from Konoka's head. All of them looked at Naruto worriedly.

"We need to help Naruto!" Kaede was about ready to move.

"NO!" Kyu stopped her. "The people that Kabuto brought back to life are stronger than all of you. Only Naruto has a chance at winning."

"So. All we do is watch and eat popcorn!" Kotarou yelled at the fox.

"Yes." She hung her head low.

All of them were worried even more now. Chizuru was lost. Magic... people back from the dead? She felt the sudden urge to say. 'I need a drink'.

"Well... it's been a long time... Naruto." The first one said.

"I'd never thought we'd meet again my friend." The second one smiled at him.

"This saddens me greatly." The 3rd one came to light.

"To think... that we'd fight like this." A female voice was next.

"At last... a rematch... Naruto." The last one smiled.

Naruto looked at them. His heart was heavy. "Yes... this saddens me too. Kakashi-sensei, Yamoto-sensei, Sakura, Sai, Sasuke." He looked at his old friends and teachers. The rain was far colder than ever before.

"Enough of the reunion... kill Naruto would you?" Kabuto ordered.

Naruto tossed his tri-kunai in the air. Then it exploded into many more tri-kunai that fall all over the area.

"Cheery Blossom Blast!" Sakura attack first. But her fist missed Naruto.

Naruto had a tri-kunai drew and was away from all of them. Then Sakura's right arm fell off and became dust. Sakura looked at it.

"Alright!" Kotarou yelled when he saw that. Only for hi face to fall when it grew back.

"I'm surprised at you Naruto. You would harm your old friends so heartlessly." Kabuto smirked.

"My friends... are dead. They only look like them." He told him.

"Does that make it easier for you to do what you need to?"

"Don't get distracted Naruto. Lighting Blade!" Kakashi was behind Naruto with his Lighting Blade aimed at his heart.

Naruto flashed away again.

"Secret wood style Jutsu: Spear!"

A spear made out of wood launched at Naruto.

Naruto did a spin to dodge it.

"Ninja art: Super Beast Scroll!" Sai make ink beast to attack Naruto. Naruto just used his tri-kunai to destroy them.

Then Sasuke appeared right behind him. "You let your guard down Naruto. Chidori: True Spear!" Sasuke's Chidori was aimed at Naruto's heart.

Naruto got away in a flash at the last second. When he landed on the ground Sakura was on him trying to hit him but Naruto used his speed to dodge her attacks. He did a back flip then kicked her with both feet to knock her away. Then Sai came in and attacked him with his small blade. Naruto used his tri-kunai to block and attack back. After a few quick slashes at each other Naruto's speed won and he cut right through Sai's little blade. Then gave him one charka punch to the face. Yamoto was next as he tried to use his wood jutsu to trap Naruto. Naruto fought out of the trap wood jutsu and hit Yamoto in the face. Sending him flying. Kakashi used this to get in close to Naruto and trying his Lighting Blade again. Naruto at the last possible mili-second grabbed Kakashi's arm. And then pulled him in to a Rasengan. Sasuke tried to use his long sword to kill Naruto, he was having the most fun, Naruto blocked it at the hilt. Then grabbed Sasuke's arm tossed him into the air and then hit him with a Rasengan.

"Now then, time to end this!"

Naruto flashed to Sakura first. Grabbed her by the shirt. "Rasengan! One down."

Next up was Sai. Grabbed him by the shirt and... "Rasengan! 2 down."

Yamoto was next. Grabbed him by the shirt. "Rasengan! 3 down."

Kakashi was just about to get up when. "Rasengan! 1 to go."

Sasuke had no time to recover when. "Last one Sasuke. Rasengan! And that's the last one."

Naruto jumped away. Charged up his next Rasengan. "Let's end this!" Naruto rushed to the fallen group. They were all down in a circle. "Massive Rasengan!" Naruto hit them all with one big Rasengan.

*Huff* *huff*

"Is it over?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke got up. "Don't be naive Naruto. Sai!" Sasuke ordered Sai to attack first.

"You can't win like this Sasuke!"

Sai attacked Hand to hand. Naruto blocked then did one more hit and he was knocked back. "Fire Style: Dragon Blaze jutsu!" The fire dragon hit Sai dead on his body was vaporized.

"Sakura, Yamoto!"

Sakura did her hand to hand with Tsunade like strength. When she attack down he jump a bit and hit her. Her head hit the ground was now in an odd shape. Yamoto tried to the same but with one punch to the face he was launched into the air. Naruto kicked him down on top of Sakura then Naruto did a Grand Rasengan to him and Sakura. Vaporizing both bodies.

"Not bad Naruto... Kakashi!"

Kakashi charged Naruto next. "Lighting Blade!"

"Grand Rasengan!"

Both Jutsu's collided with each other. Naruto soon got the upper hand and over powered Kakashi, destroying his body.

"Chidori!" Sasuke aimed his Chidori right at Naruto's heart. He was too close for Naruto to a Rasengan.

Naruto had his Sharingan focused on Sasuke's hand. He grabbed Sasuke's wrist. But he didn't stop it, he used the momentum to throw Sasuke into a wall.

"I always wanted to do that." Naruto said out loud.

"Amaterasu!" Sasuke yelled at black fire raced to Naruto.

"Amaterasu!" Naruto fired his own. Both sides tried desperately to gain the upper hand.

Naruto gained the upper hand and his Amaterasu over powered Sasuke's.

"I'm not finished yet!" Sasuke, while on fire, charged at Naruto. He had closed his eye because of the tear like blood coming from it.

"AH~~~~~ CHIDORI!"

Naruto dodged in a flash. "Good bye Sasuke. Rasengan!" Naruto hit Sasuke with a Rasengan to the back. Sasuke was sent flying to the other end of the little, now destroyed, area.

*Huff* *Huff* Naruto was out of breath. Much more so because of the power he had to make his jutsu.

"Susanoo!" A giant skeleton like man came from Sasuke. "You will lose to me Naruto~~!" Sasuke screamed. Naruto watched impassively at the scene in front of him. "DIE~~~~!" Sasuke brought down Susanoo's blade.

Right before it hit. He vanished.

"Where'd you go!"

"Right here." Naruto said behind him. Naruto calmly stabbed Sasuke in the back with a tri-kunai. Then he flashed away from Sasuke and out of Susanoo's reach.

"Amaterasu explosion!" Naruto's tri-kunai exploded in black fire. Destroying Susanoo and Sasuke's undead like body.

(End Orochimaru theme song "fight theme")

*Huff* *Huff* Naruto fell to his knees. His one eye bleeding almost uncontrollable.

"You did good Naruto." Kabuto said from behind Naruto.

*Stab*

Naruto's eyes widen as he felt the same sword pierce him as it did the Kyoto trip.

"Naruto!" The girls yelled in shock.

"You managed to beat them... surprising considering your level of power right now." He pulled his sword out of Naruto. Naruto held his wound as he got back up.

Kabuto just turned Naruto around and cut him across the chest. "Almighty Push!" Naruto was sent flying. Kabuto meeting him before he could hit a wall. Then he continued to attack him. Making large gashes all over Naruto. Naruto was now on the wet ground. The rain had not let up yet. Naruto started to crawl. "The reapers calling Naruto... time to answer." Kabuto kicked him in the stomach. He was now on his back. "Every mortal has to answer." He booted Naruto's stomach making his spit out some blood. "We are all going to miss you very, very much Naruto." He said mockingly to Naruto. "Time to die Naruto."

"AH~~" Naruto grabbed White Kyuubi's Talon from his left elbow seal, and he cut Kabuto's knee. Then he hoped up and cut across his chest before kicking him away from him so he could rest a bit.

"Still a bit a fight left in you I see. Almighty Push!" Naruto landed on the stage near the group of concerned on lookers.

Naruto got up in time to block Kabuto's first attack. But then his sword was knocked out of his hands. Then...

*Slash*

"Ah~~~!" Naruto's right eye was cut. Naruto staggered to his right in pain. Then Kabuto kicked him off stage. He fell to the ground almost motionless. The only sign that he was alive was his chest going up and down slightly.

Naruto could barley move. His right eye... gone. And all he saw was red in his left eye because of all hi blood in it.

"You put up a good fight Naruto but..." A snake came from Kabuto's sleeve. Its mouth opened and the blade of a sword came out. "... farewell... Naruto." The snake attacked.

"NO!" Kabuto was push and set off balance. Making the snake miss Naruto's head. By an inch.

"I won't let you harm Naruto anymore!" Setsuna drew her sword. Ready to protect Naruto if needed. Mana and Kaede jumped next to her along with Ku, Asuna, Negi and Kotarou. All of the fighters. Konoka along with the others in the group were next to Naruto. Helping him up. A bit slow for Naruto, due to his injuries. And no one had their card with them. Chizuru was still a bit lost but she got the fact that this was a life or death struggle. And Naruto's life hangs in the balance right now.

"Well... that a surprise." Kabuto said to himself. "I didn't think that you all had such strong feelings for Naruto. Considering everyone around him... dies." Kabuto remarked. He smirked. An evil smirk.

"Leave this place. Or we will make you leave!" Setsuna threatened.

"I see... well, I'll go for now. If you so wish... but... this... come at a price." He smiled.

All of the others were confused, and Naruto was too injured to think. Until he realized that a price from someone like Kabuto was a high one. "Get away from him! Everyone!"

"Too late Naruto! Curse Mark Jutsu!" A snake came from Kabuto's sleeve. And it came for...

"Ow!"

"No!" Naruto screamed as he was too slow to stop the snake from biting Konoka's neck.

"Konoka!"Everyone screamed.

"Hahahahaha!" Kabuto gave a very Orochimaru like laugh.

"No. I will not let this happen again!" Naruto dug into his wounds to get blood from the, he tore open the fabric of her night shirt to see a Heaven Curse seal. He smeared the blood in a pattern on Konoka's curse seal. "Ninja art: Evil Sealing Jutsu!" Naruto stopped the curse seal from spreading any further than it already has.

"Hahahaha... we will meet again Naruto... and when we do... YOU DIE!" Kabuto sank into the ground. Gone. "Hahahaha."

"Naruto... it hurts." Konoka said before passing out.

"NO~~~~~~~~!" Naruto screamed in anguish to the heavens. That cried at Naruto's pain... still.
