After a dinner made by the world's best chef, now know as Koturo, Naruto went upstairs to relax. He found Kyuubi curled up into a ball next to his futon. Naruto plopped down on the floor and layed on his back.
Kyuubi looked up and said, "Is something troubling you kit?" Naruto looked at the fox sighed and said, "I thought you were asleep."
Kyuubi looked amused by this and said, "I do not need to sleep kit. Nor eat, but sometimes it is a nice comfort. Now, what is it that has you so troubled?"
Naruto sat up and brought his arms to rest on his knees. "It's just Hinata.." Naruto said in a hushed voice. A look of suprise spread acr""oss Kyuubis face and he said, "What do you meen?"
"Ever since my fight with Pain, I've started to realize how strong and beautiful Hinata was. She was the only one nice to me when the rest of the village wanted me dead. She's always been there for me... and I didn't see it until now. I love her but I know she doesn't feel the same..." Narutos voice trailed off.
Kyuubi couldn't but laughing and said, "Hahahaha! Then I have news for you kit!" Naruto looked at the fox in confusion. "You see, she-" His voice was interupted by an explosion.
"What was that!?" Naruto yelled getting to his feet. "I do not know, but it did not sound good."
They ran down the stairs and found an unconciuos Hinata under a pile of ruble. "Hinata!" Naruto yelled as he ran over to the girl, picking her up in his arms. "N-Naruto..kun..?" Hinata said barely able to keep her eyes open.
"Who did this?" Kyuubi asked her. Hinata's arm lifted and pointed towards two cloaked figures.
The one on the left was slightly shorter then Naruto, had red hair, and possesed the Rinnegan. The one on the right was taller then Naruto, had black hair, and possesed the Mangekyo Sharingon.
Under his breath Naruto whispered, "Itachi Uchiha.." then turned to the one on the left with the same hushed said, "Nagato."
Both Itachi and Nagato's eyes went wide. Nagato stepped closer and said, "Naruto! Thank god you're here! You need to beat us now!" A sense of urgency in his voice. Naruto looked at the two men and said, "What the hell!? I thought you were dead!"
Itachi stepped forward adn said, "We are. We are currently under a jutsu know as the reannimation justu. Only this one is different. We have no control over our bodies and th eeffects of this jutsu literaly brings someone back to life. They can breathe, eat, sleep, and even die again of old age."
Naruto looked at itachi and said, "Then how do I release the jutsu?"
This time Nagato spoke, "It is much like my jutsu you face before. But ther is two ways to stop this one. The first being to kill us, the second being to free us from it." "And how do I free you from it?" Naruto asked.
"You need to wear them down, make them weak. Then hit them with an enormous amount of chakra. Luckily for you, you have me." Kyuubi said looking over to the pair before them. Naruto smiled and said, "Who's first?"
