KG: Hmmm I guess I should say Happy New Year to everyone, but that was three days ago and I don't think it matters anymore. I might be wrong, but I guess it's okay. Oh and since we're not dead then my duel with Yugi Muto has been postponed until the next end of the world prediction. Shame too. I really wanted to finish that fight. Meh.

Naruto: Well it's whatever man. So tell us more about this Tv show of yours.

KG: Hey in case you forgot, but the world was hollering that they were going to die. I doubt anyone was watching Tv. Well, hehe, except for me.

Samui: Ummm alright then. How about you do this story?

KG: Yeah yeah, we're getting to that okay? I would just like to have an engaging conversation with everyone.

Ayane: Okay, about what?

KG: Ummm, well. Oh I know, let's have a cream soda drinking contest!

Rachel: Really? I mean how many sodas does that Refrigerator of yours hold?

KG: More than enough for this thing. Alright then, we each take a cream soda and drink and then entire bottle has to be drunk to count. Whoever wins, has to do what the others say for one week.

Ayane: I like to sound of that. I like cream soda in general.

Naruto: Bring it on!

Samui: Sorry, not my kind of thing. I'll...keep the count.

KG: Very well. Rachel, what are you going to do?

Rachel: Well, Rikku and I have some things to do.

Rikku: We do?

Rachel: YES WE DO! (Runs out)

KG: Umm alright then (pops up a table) Come on lightweights. Let me do this and then we'll get started.

Naruto and Ayane: Bring it on!


Naruto groaned while he hazily opened his eyes. He looked up to see a ceiling in front of him. He was about to lean up before he felt a sharp pain in his body. That's right, he had passed out only moments after that Rachel woman had left the roof they were on.

"You alright kit?" Kyuubi asked while Naruto closed his eyes. He placed a hand on his forehead and found his temperature to be normal.

"Yeah I'm fine. But what was that Kyuubi? It made me pass out," Naruto said in his thoughts and Kyuubi sat down in a mat that was shared by him and Nibi as he stroked his wife's light blue hair. Nibi purred before she opened her eyes.

"It was the demon energy Naruto-kun. As you get closer to that 'Dark Dragon Blade' you are going to be more influenced to its power. Right now, you should look in a mirror at your new features. It's a shame, but they are permanent to a complete fault," Nibi said while Kyuubi and Naruto felt a small sense of dread. Naruto immediately took her suggestion and leaned up, much to his body's discomfort, and found a mirror. Naruto widened his eyes as he looked at his arms. They were more toned than before. So were his legs. His, formerly, completely black shirt had little strips of red on them and the most notable feature was his whiskers. They weren't as defined as when he used Kyuubi's chakra, but they were still more noticeable. Naruto sighed as he graved his fingers over them and twitched. Yep, his whiskers were more sensitive than ever now.

"Oh well this is just great," Naruto said to himself before he heard the door next to him creak. He immediately had his guard up before he noticed Ryu walk through the door with a small bowl of water. He was still in his ninja outfit before he glanced at Naruto.

"You're up," he said and Naruto nodded. They had a small awkward silence for a little bit before Naruto made his way over to the bed. He looked outside and the sight sort of unnerved him. It was still night so he had probably only been out for a good hour or so. He had seen Vigoor's military men in the streets in their gear and their weapons at the ready for anything. Naruto even noticed them using shields. Not that he couldn't easily take those out, but he still made it a note.

"How long was I out?' Naruto asked while Ryu looked at the clock on the wall.

"An hour and thirty minutes," Ryu said while Naruto nodded his head tiredly. It was then that he noticed Ryu drop an item into his hands. It was blue and in a vase of some kind with small beads over it.

"What's this?" he asked and Ryu turned around before tossing Naruto's kodachi to him. The blonde caught them and strapped them to his waist. He took a count of everything while Ryu responded.

"That is a Spiritual Elixir. I should help heal you of anything. They're quite common among ninja," Ryu said while Naruto uncorked the top. He looked at the blue liquid in the bottle before shrugging his shoulders and downed it. He felt it go down his throat before his eye's twitched. He coughed and wiped his mouth.

"Man that's bitter," Naruto said and Ryu nodded his head before Naruto felt himself renewed. He felt like none of those injuries even happened just then. Now if Konoha had something like this as well then they could be awesome.

"Thanks Ryu. Sorry for holding us back," Naruto apologized and Ryu just settled for opening the door and turned his head.

"It's nothing. Things happen. Are you fine to continue?" Ryu asked while Naruto grinned with a nod of his head before he looked down the window.

"Yeah, but what about them?" Naruto asked while Ryu saw the enforcers. He lightly glared, but didn't say anything before he signaled for Naruto to follow him. The blonde did so and the two quickly left the room. They ran down the stairs and Naruto noticed that they were still in Han's Bar because of the destruction in the place as well as the fiend's body in the ground dead.

"Say Ryu, di you think it would be possible for you to teach me the Flying Swallow?" Naruto asked while Ryu continued down the stairs. He contemplated Naruto's request before stopping just at the edge of the door. He ruffled through some of his pouches and pulled out a scroll before handing it to Naruto.

"If you wish to improve yourself then take all that applies here and use it," Ryu said while Naruto nodded. He took the scroll into his hands and pocketed it away since now wasn't the time to be reading it. Ryu slightly opened the door while he took out a kunai. He used the reflection to show both him and Naruto who was outside. Naruto saw three guys and all not too hard to fight, but they were unaware of the two ninjas and their presence.

"We don't need unnecessary attention so let's get rid of them," Naruto said and Ryu agreed. The latter threw a shuriken directly at one's throat killing him instantly which seemed to really get a rise out of the others before they looked around franticly. Naruto snorted at their pathetic display. Obviously not trained to go after shinobi.

The blonde threw a kunai and aimed it at one person's skull and watched him fall to the ground also. Soon the last person had more than enough information to know where the shots were coming from and turned around, but the last thing he saw was Ryu with his sword before his head popped off and he fell to the ground. Ryu sheathed his sword back and beckoned for Naruto to join him.

Seeing the coast was clear, Naruto and Ryu ran through the streets of Vigoor, taking care to to not be seen. The two continued to run through the maze-like Vigoor streets and came up to a large gate area. Naruto walked up to it and grabbed the handle bars while Ryu watched.

"Locked. It says that these can't be opened right now. Do they open at some other time?" Naruto asked, but Ryu wasn't sure. He only had the map of Vigoor that he got from Ayane to go on.

"I'm not sure, but we'd better leave them alone for right now. Come on, Muramasa has a shop near here. We should be able get there and then head into the cathedral," Ryu said while Naruto raised an eye.

"Umm what's a cathedral?" Naruto asked and Ryu sighed. Yup, it was so like them when they went to Naruto's world. So many questions and not enough time to answer them.

"Sorry I'll have to save that explanation for another time. It's not really an easy answer and it will only lead to more questions so let's just go," Ryu said and Naruto agreed. The two quickly came up to a large door and watched as it opened allowing them through. The two tumbled through and came up to a small descending flight of stairs. Naruto began to walk them before the two heard gunshots. Naruto dodged to the right while Ryu jumped into the air. Both could see two Vigoorians with their guns locked and loaded while aiming at their faces. Naruto snorted and held up his hand and opened his sleeves.

"Sen'eijashu," Naruto shouted as five snakes came from his sleeves and sot forward. The men rolled to the side while Naruto unzipped his jacket. Mikata slithered from his embrace and quickly slithered towards the enemies before she bit one in the neck sending him to the floor from her neurotoxin before Naruto and Ryu disabled the other. Both then hit the streets, but it didn't take them long to find Muramasa's shop.

"Wow he's even here. I didn't think he had his own shop in Vigoor," Naruto said while Ryu shrugged his shoulders.

"You also didn't think he had one in your world too," Ryu said while Naruto snorted. Nibi and Kyuubi chuckled despite themselves while Naruto opened the door.

"Hardy har har," Naruto responded while the two saw the old blacksmith behind a counter. Naruto widened his eyes and dropped his jaw.

"How did you get here so fast?!" Naruto nearly shouted while Ryu closed the door. Muramasa chuckled and placed his hands on the counter.

"Oh my. Well if it isn't Ryu and Naruto. It took you both long enough to get here. What can I do for you?" Muramasa asked sort of ignoring Naruto's question while the blonde didn't really persist in answering. He figured that if Muramasa could teleport the both of them from Konoha to the Land of Iron then he could teleport from the Mugen Tenshin Village to his Vigoor shop.

"We'd like some information," Ryu answered while Naruto took the time to look around the shop. He could see everything. Swords, knives, daggers, helmets and even some staffs. He noticed the kunai on the walls and held up his own. He noticed that his was a bit smaller than theirs which was something he was sort of proud of. These seemed to heavy to be thrown, but then again if you did throw them for practice then they could make your throwing more accurate and precise. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad. He then noticed some scrolls on the walls as he read them off. They seemed to be scrolls for jutsu that this world used.

"Art of the Hurricane, Art of the Ice Storm, Art of Divine Life and Art of Inazuma. Wow this is quite a bit of stuff. I wonder if I could learn this. Ryu said that this applies to one's ki so maybe the same applies to chakra," Naruto thought to himself while Ryu and Muramasa continued to talk.

With Platoon 13

Samui, Sasuke and Shikamaru were currently on a ship along with Jiraiya towards the Land of Iron. They had been out for two days this time and on the third they would arrive back into the cold country that Shikamaru absolutely hated. It was currently nighttime with Naruto's fiancee, Samui, looking out at the moon.

She sighed and brushed a hand through her blonde hair. She wondered how Naruto was doing on his mission. Hopefully he was staying out of trouble and still doing a good job like she knew he could.

"What are you doing out here?" Sasuke asked leaning against the railing. Samui shrugged her shoulders before turning her head to see Shikamaru sleeping soundly. She lightly shook her head at the act while Sasuke shrugged his shoulders.

"Nothing much. Just thinking," she said and Sasuke nodded while snorting.

"Yeah because traveling with a sannin itself isn't much to think about," Sasuke told her and Samui glared at Sasuke while Sasuke glared back, but neither said anything.

"So tell me, what are you going to do?" Samui asked while Sasuke looked confused showing Samui that she was to clarify.

"I had heard from Mikoto-san that you were thinking of going after Itachi. What do you plan on doing?" Samui asked and Sasuke's response was to remain silent. He did so for quite a long time which was what Samui had noticed for a while now before Sasuke responded.

"Hn. I don't know yet. Why should it matter what I do?" Sasuke asked before he walked off. Samui glared silently at Sasuke, but didn't say anything. She would have to watch him at that little revenge attitude of his.

Samui watched Sasuke leave the deck of the ship before she turned her head slightly to the right.

"Did you get all that?" she asked to Jiraiya who opened one eye showing that he was fully paying attention to the conversation that had been going on. He nodded his head before closing his eyes while Samui continued to look up at the sky. Her blue eyes sparkled in the moonlight while she looked at her left hand to see the small white ring on it.

"I guess it's time that I got honest with myself," Samui said smiling while she closed her eyes.

With Kin and Tayuya

Kin yawned as the sun slightly beamed into her and Tayuya's room. Slightly, because it was still misty outside and hardly as visible as they would've liked. She and Tayuya had managed through a very tough and violent negotiation to get a small time apartment in the shopping district of Kiri. Both being able to pass as civilians then they weren't subjected to shinobi surveillance, but that didn't stop the Mizukage's forces from trying anyway. She peered out the window to see a few Kiri shinobi running around on the rooftops while she stood to her feet. She heard the shower running and figured that Tayuya was inside while she yawned.

Both she and Tayuya had to get jobs to at least avoid suspicion. Luckily for them a tea shop was hiring and they were right up its alley. Naturally Kin had to deal with Tayuya and her bickering about such a weak job, but Kin complained that it was for the good of the network that they did. Kin watched Tayuya come out with a towel wrapped around her body while Tayuya took out some clothes that she bought from a civilian clothes store. Tayuya wore a red short sleeved T-shirt with dark blue cargo pants while Kin went into the washroom.

"We can't blow our cover can we?" Tayuya asked rubbing her wet hair striking a conversation with her friend. Kin started to brush her teeth in the mirror.

"That's right. That's why we're going to go get jobs. Just try to control your temper Tayuya," Kin said before Tayuya heard the show in the bathroom start. She merely snorted at that comment on her personality and settled for putting on her shinobi sandals before she took her flute with her as well. Also one or two shuriken and kunai. Just to be safe.

"Yeah well when you're ready we'll go and get that job. Hopefully we'll be alright for the time being," Tayuya said, but she was sure that Kin didn't hear her from the water running. She groaned and walked down the stairs before entering the kitchen. Tayuya started to cook some eggs, slice some apples and make toast with tea for Kin and coffee for herself. She sat down on a wooden chair and pulled up to the table while setting dishes down. -What? You don't think Tayuya was capable of this shit? She knew what she was doing and how to do it. Sure she normally didn't have to worry about this 'housewife' style shit, but she could do it if it was necessary.

Sooner or later, Kin came down the stairs wearing dark shirt and dark shorts with her hair combed and brushed. She wore the same shinobi sandals as Tayuya and said redhead noticed that her friend had three well hidden senbon in her pouch.

"Expecting something?" Tayuya asked while Kin shrugged her shoulders. The two ex-Oto kunoichi sat down and ate their food peacefully and just chatted the morning away.

After breakfast, Kin and Tayuya entered the Tea shop to see an old man helping his customers. The place seemed to be packed full of people who were talking about the regular stuff. Kin and Tayuya noticed a few Kiri shinobi and it did make them tense, but they tried to get over it as Kin tapped the old man's shoulder.

"Oh my and who might you two be?" he asked and Kin tried to give her best smile while Tayuya snorted.

"Umm we're here about the job. Can we get one?" she asked and the man gave an elderly smile while he set his tray down. He took his crutch and motioned for them to follow him as he opened a door to the back room. Kin and Tayuya followed inside while he seated himself.

"Thank you. You are the first two people to come here and I appreciate it. An old man's time really does way on his bones. Do either of you have serving ability?" he asked and Kin raised her hand. She had only done a serving job with her damn adoptive parents as she had served them food at one point. The abusive assholes.

"Alright then. Now what about you?" he asked turning to Tayuya. The redhead network spy sighed while she rummaged through her clothes and pulled out her flute. She showcased it to the man while he paid attention to it. He knew what she was trying to tell him even though she didn't say anything. He just wordlessly nodded his head and took up one apron. He handed it to Kin and the girl strapped it to her waist while he pointed to a platform for Tayuya.

"Why do you have a platform?" Tayuya asked and the old man smiled.

"My granddaughter loved to sing, but now she's too busy with her shinobi duties. I'm just glad that she's able to live her life the way she wants to," he said as Kin and Tayuya glanced at each other before the latter stood to her feet.

"Oh wait," he said and Tayuya stopped. She turned around to see him hand her a small dress. Tayuya's eyebrows twitched while Kin snickered. Tayuya eyed the black dress that would go down to her ankles. It held straps for her arms while she growled. Kin motioned for her to take it while Tayuya snorted. She took the dress and stomped off shouting obscenities while Kin thanked the man for their chance which he waved off.

Kin watched as he entered the public room and cleared his throat to speak. She wondered what he was about to say.

"Eh, now we have a special addition to our tea shop. Everyone give a hand to our new worker and player for your entertainment, Tayuya Tsuchi," he said while Kin smiled. Tayuya only took Kin's last name since it was best to pass off as sisters than for Tayuya to have to come up with some retarded name herself. Once the man announced her name, Tayuya came from the back in the black strapped dress while most people clapped. A few young guys whistled while the females chuckled.

"Kill...kill...kill...kill...kill...kill. KILL THEM ALL!I'm gonna fuckin' kill every single last fucktard that I see in this shitfaced place and then I'm gonna fuck that old man up his ass with a kunai for subjecting me to this shit. I should've gone back to Orochimaru instead of this shit. Damn it all to fuckin' hell!" Tayuya shouted mentally before she stepped on the platform.

"Miss Tsuchi, will you please help me deliver this food?" the man asked while Kin nodded her head. She went into the back to go collect the tea and food that the man had know been making since the two ladies decided to help out.

"Umm I've never performed for anyone. So just sit down and enjoy the music!" Tayuya said/almost shouted while no one seemed put off by her attitude while Tayuya held up her flute to her lips.

(Still Alive by Lisa Miskovsky)

Tayuya played the music and people sighed while they continued to eat and drink their tea while listening to Tayuya play her wind instrument. Kin smiled and gave Tayuya a thumbs up while the redhead rolled her eyes.

With Pakura and Maki

The two females stood atop a building and looked around. Right now they were in Taki. Somewhere near Kumo or its edge anyway. Pakura dropped to the ground while Maki followed. They looked left and right to make sure that they were in the clear.

"Alright Maki, you can go off for a bit. I'm going to go into the village for a bit. Stay alert and contact me if you notice anything understood?" Pakura asked and Maki nodded with a mock salute before she ran off into the woods near Taki for a bit. Pakura watched her leave and sighed before walking into Taki, discreetly of course.

Maki, in the meantime, took a small box from a scroll she was carrying. She opened it and smiled as she smelt the warm essence of Dango inside. She quickly took one stick and blissfully grinned from the sweet taste.

"I said NO! Now get lost you demon bitch!" Maki widened her eyes to the words that some of the people used before she stop near a tree. She peered behind it to see one man kick a girl about her age away from a shop near them. Soon other people gathered around and started doing the same thing. Maki noticed the mop of green hair she had as well as the dark skin. She glared hard at the people. It was the same as...Gaara?

"Is she one as well?" Maki wondered before she watched the girl leave while people seemed so damn good about themselves. The bastards.

Maki watched as the girl cursed and walked in her direction. She turned her head from the tree and watched as the girl continued forward.

"Umm, want one?" Maki asked suddenly making the teenager turn around. She saw Maki holding out her box of twenty or so dango sticks while the girl looked at her incredulously.

"You're offering food to the demon bitch?" she asked with a roll of her eyes. Maki snorted and shrugged her shoulders. She just took one and handed it to her. The girl merely looked at it and glared back at Maki while the ex-Suna kunoichi sighed.

"You don't know how to eat?" Maki joked while the girl snorted. She took the stick into her hands and looked at it or inspected it like it was some type of poison. Maki inwardly groaned and took one in her hands before eating it easily while placing the stick back into the box. It was only then did she notice the girl eat the food and a very happy smile come across her face.

"I-I'm sorry," she said while Maki waved her off. She held up another one and smiled.

"Want another?" she asked and the girl easily nodded while Maki smiled.

"Then tell me your name," Maki said while the girl seemed confused. No one had really cared to know her name. Either this girl wasn't from around here or she was just really different from others. Hopefully it was both. After all, it was always 'demon bitch' this and 'demon whore' that. She could probably came up with a whole new dictionary on their use of the word 'demon' alone.

"You're not going to try and hit me with something?" she asked while Maki smiled.

"If you're thinking that I'm like those faggots then I'd be insulted. Come on and try me," Maki said while the girl shrugged her shoulders.

"Fine I guess. I'm Fu. Does that satisfy you?" the girl named Fu asked while Maki nodded her head.

"Sure does. Now then, here you go," Maki said and Fu nodded her head as she took another one. Maki leaned against a tree and Fu sat next to her sort of feeling comforted by the fact that someone was actually spending time with her.

"Are you a jinchuuriki?" Maki asked bluntly. Fu widened her eyes to before Maki noticed her trembled and mentally smacked herself in the head.

"Oh yeah, very subtle Maki. Yep, oh that's a good one. Why don't you just hand over Spy Network while you're at it," Maki said mentally while Fu sighed.

"Yeah I am. Is that it? Let me guess. You're going to call me a bitch too? Spite me? Yeah, I expect it. Let me save you the trouble and breath and just leave," Fu said getting up, but to her surprise Maki stood up first and shook her head.

"No, I mean Suna has a jinchuuriki. That's originally where I'm from. He was/is still treated the same way. I'm sorry I didn't mean to say anything," Maki said while Fu seemed excited by that. She just closed her eyes and leaned back down.

"Oh, I guess we all can't help, but be curious," Fu said and Maki nodded shamefully. She knew she hadn't done much for Gaara as she had been told to avoid him as well, but when she became a genin she started doing better. There had been some things that she would do for Gaara that were probably better left unmentioned.

"I see. Well do you have any friends?

"No,"

Maki smacked herself again. She was just riding herself into the ground today. Oh god, this was going to take some getting used to. Both for her and for Fu.

"Umm alright then. Want me to be your friend?" Maki asked with a shrug of her shoulders. Fu turned to her rather surprised and Maki could tell that she looked like spy material, but she didn't want to divulge information without Pakura knowing or even without their spy network leader, Naruto, knowing.

"Why?" Fu asked curious as this was the first time something like this has ever happened. Maki merely gave an even smile and shrugged her shoulders.

"Do I need a reason to be friends with you?" she asked and Fu looked forward. She didn't respond to that question as she was sure that she didn't need to. Maki noted the small silence between them and groaned as she stood to her feet.

"Alright then, as your friend. I'm taking you to meet Pakura-sensei. Hopefully, she's done with what she needs to do and we've checked into a hotel," Maki said while Fu lowered her gaze to the ground. She sighed and lost her smile while Maki glanced towards her.

"What's wrong?" Maki asked while Fu spoke.

"I'm not allowed in the motel, hotels or any place. I just have this shack out on the woods," Fu said while Maki raised an eyebrow.

"Huh? But don't you know about the shelter that was used by Konoha in the Great Shinobi War?" Maki asked and Fu seemed even more lost than she already was if that was possible.

"Umm no?" Fu said uncertain about where this was going.

"Oh right here then," Maki said pulling out a map. Fu looked at the spot with the X on it. It seemed like it was right near a ravine that divided Taki, Kumo and Kusa from each other.

"Umm so what's there?" Fu asked intrigued while Maki stated evenly.

"There is supposed to be a nice supply house there and its been abandoned so you could live there and I could inform Pakura-sensei about where I'm going. Yeah, that works. Follow me," Maki said walking off, but she turned around to see Fu just looking at her questioningly. Maki shook her head and grabbed Fu's hand.

"I said follow me," Maki said as she dragged the Nanabi jinchuuriki through the trees. Fu just let herself get dragged along before she felt something that she hadn't felt before. Freedom.

With Pakura

The tall ex-Suna kunoichi continued to walk through the entire settlement of Taki. She could just see people talking and walking casually not really paying attention to her appearance, which was something she was glad for. No one seemed to be wary of her, but she could tell that a few shinobi were looking at her rather intently. It didn't unnerve her, but she was mostly fine with it.

"That's right. We're going to do it now. I've contacted them and they'll be taking that bitch out of our hair as soon as possible," someone said and Pakura glanced to her right to see three or four shinobi talking amongst themselves in a reclusive tea shop.

"Well looks like I found something of interest," Pakura said to herself before she walked over and sat herself down just at a table opposite from them. She made sure to keep herself unnoticeable to the others and just drank her tea while carefully listening in.

"I swear I'm tired of that damn girl destroying our village with just her face. She makes me sick. It's no wonder that she's an orphan. Who'd want her?" they continued to talk away while Pakura narrowed her eyes. She crept an even glare at the wall in front of her, but if you looked closely then you could see that her hands were straining to break the cup in her hands.

"Yeah, our village leader is too soft on her. I swear. So what if she holds the Nanabi. I bet the Nanabi took over that dumb girl's soul a long time ago," he said before Pakura noticed the other reprimand him for speaking about their village's weapon which he just snorted and said that no one would care about such a girl.

Pakura didn't move immediately. Mainly because if she did then they might've known that she was listening. So Pakura subjected herself to siting in the shop drinking and eating for about half an hour before a poof came next to her. Luckily it wasn't loud so no one seemed to notice it. Pakura looked underneath the table and noticed Gaia staring at her before she flicked her tongue and spoke.

"Pakura-san, nice to meet you. Now then, Maki-san has sent you this scroll. Please accept it," Gaia said and Pakura took the scroll into her hands while Gaia poofed out. Pakura unfurled the scroll and read the notice. Maki exclaiming how her lunch tasted, where she was, finding and becoming friends with the Nanabi jinchuuriki...wait, what?

"That girl. I tell her to go and relax and she does this. I should've expect this. She takes after me of course," Pakura said mentally with a grin on her face before she found a reason to leave and did so. She quickly left the shop before hearing something about a a group called Akatsuki. Pakura narrowed her eyes before sending off a message of her own.

In Konoha

Anko, Kyoko, Kurenai, Hana and Kureha were all sitting around Yugao who was slightly depressed. Her fiancee Hayate had died in the invasion from Oto and Suna against Kumo and Konoha. She had requested to take time off her anbu duties as she just couldn't focus on that at the moment.

"Yugao are you going to be alright?" Hana asked, but Yugao didn't really respond as she looked at the village from where she was standing which was on top of the Hokage Mansion. She sighed and turned around.

"Yeah I'll be fine, but I might request to leave the anbu for a bit and become just a regular jonin. I don't think I'll be taking any missions for a bit. Hokage-sama has granted me some time off and I'm grateful for that," Yugao answered.

"It makes me feel so angry that Orochimaru did this. I just wish that I could have done something in that forest. Kyoko, why couldn't you take him down?" Anko asked while Kyoko folded her arms.

"I tried dammit! Why do you think the Raikage and even the Hokage couldn't do it?!" Kyoko asked and everyone turned silent. Kyoko sighed and brushed her hair lightly while apologizing. They then watched Kureha walk up to Yugao and grab her hands. She smiled and closed her eyes.

"I see you deeply cared for Hayate-san. It is a shame of what happened to you, but don't let it get you down. I know that even if he's gone, his spirit still cares about you and doesn't wish for you to be unhappy. Be happy and live your life the way Hayate-san would want you to Yugao-san." Kureha said while the other ladies smiled. Yugao closed her eyes while the wind started to blow. Everyone else remained silent allowing her the time to take that in. Kurenai only smiled as she could only wonder how devastated she'd be if her son had died in the invasion.

"Thank you, Kureha-san. I'm ready to go back now. Also, Kurenai speaking of loved ones. Where is your son, Naruto? I haven't seen him around for two days," Yugao said and everyone noticed Kurenai glance at Kureha who rubbed the back of her head with a small smile.

"Ahhh Naruto-kun. He has gone to help Ryu-kun in his mission," Kureha said while Yugao raised an eyebrow. She had never seen this man before, but had heard from the Hokage about these different people from some other world forming an alliance with Konoha. It all sounded weird in her opinion.

"I see. Well that's fine I guess," Yugao said and Kurenai smiled with a nod before Anko looked at the time. She sighed and grumbled which got a rise out of the other women.

"What's wrong?" Kurenai asked while Anko snorted.

"Dancing practice for Naruto and Samui's wedding. I heard from Hokage-sama that they will be married as soon as Naruto returns to the village from his mission. And I'm happy for Otouto, really. But still-," Anko trailed off with a shudder of her voice while the others raised their eyebrows.

"It's such a wonderful time. Marriage that is. Why are you scared?" Kureha asked while Anko shook her head.

"Let's just say that Konoha's number one Copy Ninja isn't able to copy dancing moves. I'm not looking forward to being with him for the next two hours," Anko said getting a chuckle from everyone as they wondered about Kakashi and his dancing or even if he had done dancing at all.

Back with Naruto and Ryu

Ryu and Muramasa just finished talking with each other which had been for about an hour or so which gave Naruto more than enough time to read through several scrolls of techniques from Muramasa's collection and test them out in the back. Evidently Muramasa had a training room in the back of his shop and allowed Naruto to use it. Ryu had asked Naruto how he would train without attracting noise to them where Naruto just held up a fuinjutsu paper. He said it was a Silence seal and all noise inside wouldn't be getting outside unless it was overloaded which the two accepted. So Naruto had spammed the Kage Bunshin technique for about a good hour training in the techniques and also trying to learn the flying swallow, but that wasn't working out for him very well at the moment.

"Come on, Naruto, we're leaving," Ryu said and Naruto nodded just putting the finishing touches on his kodachi. Writing a few well placed seals on them both.

"Got it Ryu. Let's get moving to that cathedral. Whatever that is anyway," Naruto said getting an elderly laugh from Muramasa before a poof came next to him. Naruto grumbled, but realized that Ryu was in a hurry.

"You go on ahead Ryu. I'll be right with you," Naruto said and Ryu nodded as he left the shop while Naruto knelt down.

"Gaia, hey girl. How's it going?" Naruto asked before he felt Mikata untangle from his waist. She poked her head out and gave Gaia a hello while Gaia returned it with a smile on her face.

"Good day, or night Naruto-sama. I have a scroll for you from Pakura-san in Taki. She had written something of vital importance to you," Gaia said while Naruto glared. He unzipped his jacket and allowed Mikata to slither out and spend some time with Gaia since the two were best friends while the son of Kurenai unfurled the scroll.

"To Leader-sama,

Naruto-san, Maki and I have arrived in Takigakure since we had been a little less conspicuous in Kusagakure. Upon arrival I have learned that Takigakure has the Nanabi jinchuuriki in its possession. They treat her like any other jinchuuriki and it seems that some have decided to end her life. So they called a group known as Akatsuki. I have also been informed by Gaia that Maki has also come into contact with her and made friends with her. She had made her way towards the shelter near the Taki location. I'm heading there as well. Your orders please.

Spy Network, Pakura,"

Naruto narrowed his eyes and sighed. He didn't know that Taki had a jinchuuriki and she was female. Now that was nice. He really wouldn't mind meeting her and he definitely wasn't expecting Maki to actually befriend her, but it was something Naruto could encourage. Mainly because he was a jinchuuriki and he knew no one had the want to be alone. Then there was Akatsuki. Jiraiya had told him about them. Yeah Naruto knew and it was more than likely what they wanted seeing as how Taki wanted to give their jinchuuriki to them. Naruto quickly wrote in the note before he turned back to see what he smiled it. Mikata and Gaia had been sleeping while intertwining themselves from the long day.

"Muramasa-oji, can you watch them for me?" Naruto asked and Muramasa nodded with a smile while he used a blanket to wrap them over.

"Also tell Gaia-chan to deliver this to Pakura-san when she wakes up alright?" Naruto asked and Muramasa nodded before he shooed Naruto out of the shop letting the sleeping snakes have their rest.

With Rachel

The blonde demon hunter sighed as she turned left and right through the Vigoor streets. Not a person in sight and she preferred it that way. She definitely wasn't used to seeing Ninja patrol the streets, but then again stranger things have happened to her.

Rachel quickly made her way to the cathedral and tried the door, but found it to be locked. She cursed at the top of her breath before she placed a hand on her hip. It needed a key, obviously. Oh hey, a rhyme.

"Tch, this is getting me nowhere. I guess I'll go around the back," Rachel said as she was sure that she could smash through the walls without too much noise and get away with it. The blonde haired beauty continued to run until she got to her desired location next to a wall of the cathedral.

"I can feel the dark energy around this place. Now then, if I tread carefully, then I should be able to-," Rachel trailed off before she heard a roar. Soon she was surrounded by three more fiendish monsters before she smiled. She took the large War Hammer from her back and grinned.

"I think I'll call you guys Gahrula Fiends. And you are, specifically called, Gallas. Yeah, that works for me don't you think?" Rachel asked only to get a roar for a response. She watched as the Gallas charged at her while Rachel twirled out of the way. She quickly jumped into the air as the fiends roared at her. They looked up before she slammed her hammer into one of their faces keeping them dead. She turned to the other and watched it growl at her before Rachel growled back, rather cutely one might add.

"Bring it on," she said and the Galla charged her again before she heard a yell.

"Rasengan," Naruto shouted as he slammed his blue sphere into the fiend before sending it crashing into a wall. Rachel widened her eyes to the sight while Naruto dropped to the ground.

"Hmm I try to find Ryu and I get stuck with you. Crazy world," Naruto said before Rachel narrowed her eyes. She saw the blonde was a little...different. Cuter she might be able to say, but he was too young to be her type.

"You have a real knack for getting in people's way," Rachel said while Naruto smirked. He then looked at the red dinosaur fiend and turned his head.

"So what's the story on these guys?" Naruto asked. The fiend roared one more before Rachel smiled.

"Simple kid. It's a human turned fiend from Doku. It's all his fault I know. Once you've become a fiend there is no escape except death. Pitiful fools," Rachel said while Naruto glared. So these were people before they were fiends. He watched as the fiend looked at him...studied him...observed the way he moved.

"Kit, what are you thinking?" Kyuubi asked and Naruto was about to respond before he saw Rachel scale the wall and hop over with a wink before she disappeared. If that blonde brat was as strong as she thought then he wouldn't need her help to kill the thing.

Naruto snorted and turned back to see the fiend advancing on him. Naruto looked at it and closed his eyes. The fiend glared dangerously at him and almost charged him before it saw Naruto's smile. The blonde just continued and the creature seemed...confused by it. Rachel had said fiends had no souls, just tools to be used for the Vigoor Emperor. Maybe, Naruto didn't want to believe that.

"Umm Naruto-kun, you're taking a huge risk aren't you?" Nibi asked while Naruto slowly dropped his kodachi. He placed them to the ground and he noticed the Galla stop growling. He and the fiend stood in front of each other and it roared in his face.

"It's not fair is it? You didn't ask for this. You were probably just minding your own business and doing what you wanted until you were turned to this. I know what it's like to have something put on you that you probably didn't ask for. You're...just following your master's will aren't you? You don't want to, but you can't help it right?" Naruto asked and the creature just growled slowly. Naruto sat down on the ground and to his surprise the creature did the same. It sat on its hind legs and rested it stomach to the floor while it place its head on the ground. It watched Naruto raise his hand over it and tensed. It growled and Naruto pulled his hand back. He smiled and nodded.

"Got it. Personal space right?" Naruto asked. He knew he didn't have the luxury of time, but he felt like this fiend was different. The ones he saw earlier weren't anything like this. Naruto reached into his pouch and the fiend growled. It barred it's teeth at him, but seemed to calm down from Naruto's smile.

"Are you hungry?" Naruto asked as he took out a clothe. He unfurled it and showed the fiend a large array of rice balls.

"Kaa-chan makes the best rice balls you know. Just the right gentle touch that I love. Samui-chan makes them too. I wonder if Ayane-chan would do it as well," Naruto pondered before he took one and held it in the air. The fiend looked at it and licked its teeth before taking it and eating it. It purred or growled lowly before Naruto held up his hand again. The fiend narrowed its eyes before it slightly moved its head and rested it on Naruto's lap. Naruto smiled and rubbed his hand over the rough scales of its body.

"Kit, that had to have been the most stupid, the most insane, the most ballsiest thing that your ass has even done in the history of your life! It would've eaten you alive!" Kyuubi said while Nibi smiled.

"Oh Kurama stop it. It's cute. Just listen to him rumble. I could feel a malicious energy over it. Hehe, It reminds me of a summon if not anything else. Heck, if that dominatrix lady is a demon hunter then Naruto could be a fiend tamer," Nibi said while Naruto widened his eyes.

"Fiend Tamer Naruto. Not bad. Almost as good as the Ice Fox of Konoha. He's still cool. I can't believe he just forgot that I rasengan-ed him in the back," Naruto said mentally before he stopped. He had something to do and took them both out of the pleasant time they were having.

"Sorry buddy, but I have to go. Trust me I don't want to," Naruto said collecting his weapons and things before the Galla growled. It quickly moved under Naruto's legs and hoisted the blonde into the air with a yelp. Naruto gulped before he saw the fiend snort. He smiled and nodded.

"Wanna help?" Naruto asked and the fiend bucked its head. The blonde gave a big grin and smirked.

"Alright then. Let's go...Tenka!" Naruto said and the fiend slammed into the wall that Rachel had scaled over and ran into the cathedral.

No far from where the two united human and fiend combo were. Ryu glared down from where he was standing and folded his arms. Never in his life had he knew something like that to happen. A fiend enjoying its time with a human like it always could. He just wasn't used to seeing that.

"Even in the trying times. Two hearts can meld together to form a partnership that others might not be able to understand. Uzumaki Naruto, you might just change the world," Ryu said before he dashed off towards the front of the cathedral.

With Naruto and Tenka

Naruto continued to ride Tenka into the heart of the cathedral. He saw the room was devoid of pews, but held a ceremonial tomb in the front of the room. Up top were the chandeliers and the amazing centerpieces that could be seen up top. Naruto rubbed Tenka's throat getting a groan from the crimson colored fiend.

"Nice work dattebayo. Now then, how to go about this," Naruto said before he heard the doors unlock. The blonde turned his head fast only to see Ryu come through. Naruto widened his eyes to the sight while Tenka growled.

"Umm...hey Ryu," Naruto said sheepishly while he rubbed the back of his head. He then smiled and shook his head.

"No Tenka, this is a friend. Got it? Friend," Naruto pronounced and the Galla fiend seemed to understand his new friend's words while Naruto jumped off.

"Naruto, you know what he is right?" Ryu asked and Naruto smiled while patting the Galla on the head.

"Yeah, he's someone who didn't chose this life and is helping me. Sorry Ryu, but I can't kill him. If I did then it would justify what the people of Konoha did to me. I just can't do that. Not to Tenka," Naruto said while Ryu thought over the name. Tenka is kanji for 'ignition'. What kind of name was that?

"Naruto, I won't try to sway your opinion and I'm even aware of the summons that your world has. However...a fiend? Are you sure?" Ryu asked and Naruto smiled before he felt Tenka lick his cheek.

"Damn right dattebayo," Naruto said while Ryu sighed. He could tell that somewhere in his mind this was a bad idea, but the blonde seemed sure of himself.

"Alright then, but he's large and so we're going to need to-,"

"Tenka, go and hide. If you see any Vigoor men try to come into this cathedral then take them out. Got it?" Naruto asked and Tenka ran through the room and quickly vanished from behind the front doors.

"Alright Ryu, let's go," Naruto said and Ryu agreed before they continued their trek. They raced up the stairs to the side and before long they made it to the roof incapacitating soldiers and other things that happened to get in their way.

"Hey Ryu, I found this statue. Do you think this goes somewhere?" Naruto asked while Ryu looked at it. He shook his head head that he wasn't sure and Naruto looked down. He narrowed his eyes and then closed them. Ryu watched him for a bit before he noticed Naruto open them fast. They were changed to slits and Naruto knelt on one knee.

"What are you doing?" Ryu asked, but Naruto couldn't answer at the moment. He stuck out his tongue and took in the heat traces. Something was downstairs. Well, lower than the cathedral at the moment. There was something below it.

"Hmm Ryu, come on. We've got something down there," Naruto said and Ryu watched as the blonde jumped off. He slammed into the ground coming back to the center of the room while Ryu followed him. Naruto placed the statue on an indentation mark. Naruto smirked and watched as the tomb slide back. The blonde raised an eyebrow and watched as the tomb slide back. He turned back to Ryu and smiled.

"Am I good or what?" he asked, but Ryu ignored him and jumped through as did Naruto. The two walked down for a little bit before they heard something behind them. Naruto and Ryu turned around only to see a large boulder coming for them. Naruto cursed and started to run with Ryu not far behind him. The two just continued to run through the mysterious halls of the underground tunnel. The two ninja continued their stride before Naruto got fed up. The blonde stopped and turned around while holding out one hand.

"Rasengan," Naruto shouted as he slammed the technique into the boulder smashing it to pieces. Naruto smirked and massaged his wrist while Ryu nodded in approval. Naruto and Ryu continued to walk for a little while before they came to a very large underground cavern. A descending formation was made for them to walk while Naruto snorted.

"Even in my world we have religion, but come on Ryu. What is with your world and its customs?" Naruto asked while Ryu didn't even decide to answer that. He just kept quiet and continued down while Naruto did the same.

"Hey Ryu, would you mind telling me about Murai-san?" Naruto asked while Ryu glanced to his side. He saw Naruto looking at him with an even stare, but didn't comment on it. Like the answers he was about to give would decide something for them both.

"Do you suspect something?" Ryu asked and Naruto sighed as he ruffled his blonde hair.

"Well I don't know him so I don't want to insult you, but Mikata said that she could smell betrayal leaking from his body. It's something that she as a summon is able to do. Like I said I didn't want to assume without any proper evidence of anything. You know what it's like. We're ninja. We're the paranoid type with good reason," Naruto said and Ryu nodded.

"I do agree with you on that. Very well. I shall tell you everything that I know," Ryu said and Naruto nodded with a word of thanks and Ryu began to tell the small things which led into the big things.

With Platoon 13, two days later

Thanks to Muramasa's directions, Jiraiya and his team had made it to the Land of Iron. One thing Shikamaru had noticed was that it was still cold, which was something that he wasn't happy about. Samui and Sasuke didn't really care at all.

"Alright brats. Let's go and get this done. If we're lucky then this place isn't secured anymore and shinobi are allowed here at this time. That means remain discreet, be smart, and don't do anything that will draw attention to yourself," Jiraiya said while everyone glanced at each other. Shikamaru shrugged his shoulders while Sasuke snorted. Samui remained impassive as was her nature before they watched Jiraiya snicker.

"Heh heh heh, this place has some real good girls. I wonder if I should come here more often. Here, take this money and rent us a hotel or something," Jiraiya said before skipping off to go and be with some girls. Samui sighed and shook her head. If there was one thing she was happy about then it was that even with him being trained by the perverted sannin, that Naruto didn't end up this way. Or even if he did then it was that he directed all of that towards Samui and to a much smaller degree, Ayane, if he had to.

"Alright you two let's get going. Like Jiraiya-sama said we're going to rent out a hotel. Let's get going," Samui said and the other two agreed with her. She walked them over to a hotel and turned to Shikamaru.

"Shikamaru, you have been here the longest so you will go to Mifune-sama. He is acquainted with Naruto-kun apparently and should be able to give us a ride. Kami knows his sensei might not get his job from him today," Samui said and everyone else agreed before Sasuke placed the hotel room and Shikamaru walked off mumbling about 'troublesome things' and the like.

Samui took a separate room from the others while Sasuke took the other over with the guys. The Uchiha narrowed his eyes as he thought about his brother. Him leaving him and his mother to go through all the trouble with the council and all that shit. How he mercilessly killed their clan, but then there was his mother telling him that he couldn't kill Itachi. She just really didn't want him to.

"Kaa-san," Sasuke said to himself before he heard something behind the door.

"This is the last place that our spy reported seeing the Kyuubi jinchuuriki. Look alive Konan," the person said before the voice made Sasuke tremble. His hand clutched the bag while he tried to stay calm.

Unknown to him, Samui was under the same thing. She pushed her ear to the door and glared. She knew these people were talking about Naruto and she knew he had been to the Land of Iron at least three times in his life.

"Itachi, make sure that this is the place. We don't need any attention to ourselves. Besides, the Kyuubi jinchuuriki's fiancée is behind this door," Konan said while Samui glared hard. She steadily raced for her tanto before she heard a door burst open.

"ITACHI!" Sasuke shouted while Itachi closed his eyes. Konan turned around and evenly glared.

"Itachi, who is this? I thought you massacred the entire Uchiha clan. He looks just like you," Konan said not really caring, but had a little curiosity in her voice. Itachi didn't even have to turn around to know that Sasuke was sneering at him. Without breaking a stride, Itachi responded.

"He's...my younger brother," Itachi said before he turned around and responded again. "It's nice to see you again Sasuke. How is mother doing since I left?" Itachi asked while Sasuke glared at the ground. He was pissed off, complete off the wall angry and yet for some reason he wasn't charging off like some fool that he might've been. Losing your cool and rushing into a fight is the complete mark of an amateur and his mother trained him better than that.

"For Kaa-chan and the clan. I will apprehend you Itachi. Even with what mother told me, I have hated you, I have despised you and I have wished for your death, but it's not about what I want. It's about what Konoha needs," Sasuke said with his sharingan flaring and if Itachi didn't have such an even stare then Itachi would've smiled while Sasuke's left arm cackled.

"Chidori," Sasuke shouted before he slammed the technique into the wall. He ran for Itachi scarring the wall along the way while he roared. Konan noticed Itachi not doing anything as Sasuke neared him. The only think Samui heard was an explosion before she grabbed her tanto and opened the door. She saw a large hole in the wall while Sasuke glared at Itachi with his wrist caught by Itachi's hand. Konan turned to see Samui walking out and turned.

"Where is the Kyuubi jinchuuriki?" she asked not missing a beat. Samui took in the situation and knew that Shikamaru should be on his way back and if he had been doing his job then Jiraiya would be back as well.

"You don't need to know," Samui said as she and Konan exchanged cold glares. Itachi and Sasuke just continued to stare at each other before Itachi noticed Sasuke smile. The young Uchiha closed his eyes and...exploded. Itachi jumped back in neutral surprise and skidded across the ground. He soon dodged three kunai that came flying at him before he noticed Sasuke behind him. The younger heir to the Uchiha clan sent a sweeping kick to Itachi's feet, but the older Uchiha jumped into the air and avoided it until Sasuke twirled and stood on his hands before kicking Itachi into the ceiling. Itachi grunted while Sasuke punched him away. He huffed slightly, but didn't let up as he did a handsign and ended in the tiger seal.

"Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu," Sasuke shouted as he sent a blazing fire words Itachi was made it explode into the wall. Samui wanted to assist Sasuke, but Konan was barring her path so that made it a little difficult.

"Why are you looking for Naruto anyway?" Samui asked though she had more than a good idea. There was no real reason to look for Naruto at all other than that he was the Kyuubi jinchuuriki and, possibly, for being the son of Kurenai Yuhi, but that was all she had.

"It is not of your concern," Konan said while Samui shook her head and folded her arms.

"When dealing with my fiancee I make it my business," Samui said before they turned around to see Itachi vanishing in a number of crows. He appeared behind Itachi and tried to backhand him only for Sasuke to backflip back He appeared near Samui while Konan turned to Itachi.

"Should we incapacitate them?" Konan asked while Itachi glared at them both.

"If we must," he said before they felt another presence. One that they had felt earlier, but had conveniently ignored.

"Kagemane success. Now then, what's up with the meeting?" Shikamaru asked with both his shadows connected to Itachi and Konan.

"Took you long enough asshole," Sasuke said while Shikamaru snorted. Save your teammates and they chew your head off. If that was it then screw it all.

"What a drag," Shikamaru said before Konan turned her head.

"Resistance is futile. You will submit now," Konan said while Shikamaru kept a tight hold on their bodies. He wasn't letting them get away, but it seemed that Shikamaru failed to notice a piece of paper floating towards him. Samui glared at it and so did Sasuke before they turned back to the two Akatsuki members. A piece of Konan's hand was gone. Samui then quickly shouted.

"Shikamaru dodge it!" Samui ordered and Shikamaru dispelled his technique and jumped back allowing the two Akatsuki members to go free while an explosion happened near him. Shikamaru rolled to side before everyone engaged each other until they appeared in a new room. They were inside...something before they heard a cackle.

"It's been quite a long time. You really have grown into a beautiful woman," Jiraiya said coming from the wall while Konan glared at him. She turned to her former sensei and nodded.

"Even with everything it is still good to see you...Jiraiya-sensei," Konan answered while Platoon 13 looked left and right in slight surprise.

"You guys did good Samui. Now then, tell me what you're doing in the Land of Iron," Jiraiya said while Konan turned around. She patted Itachi's shoulder signaling that they were leaving and he agreed before Itachi ran out taking one more look at Sasuke while Konan vanished in a paper shunshin.

"Jiraiya-sama, who were those people?" Samui asked and Jiraiya sighed remembering Konan's face.

"Those are the people who are after those like Naruto," Jiraiya said and Samui nodded while Sasuke and Shikamaru wondered what he meant by that.

"Do we go after them?" Sasuke asked while Shikamaru faulted. No way was he going to go after some S-rank criminals all for Sasuke's revenge, but that wasn't what was one Sasuke's mind at the moment.

"No we're not. You three and Naruto might be strong, but you can't fight them yet. Come on, I've secured a boat ride," Jiraiya said before Shikamaru raised his hand.

"No need for that Jiraiya-sama. It was troublesome, but thanks to Naruto's connection with Mifune-sama then he's given us a ride to the Land of Qin," Shikamaru said while Jiraiya nodded. He took out his notepad and started writing in it before he held a thought.

"Now that I think about Naruto, the only people he has in his spy network are those Suna siblings and those two girls from Oto. I certainly did tell him quality over quantity, but I think he's moving a little slower than I wanted," Jiraiya thought to himself before Samui tapped him knocking the sannin out of his stupor.

"Ready to go?" she asked and Jiraiya nodded though it was a hesitant one.

With Maki and Fu

Maki twisted an old doorknob handle and opened the door to the shelter. It was right behind a noisy waterfall so it wouldn't give them away at all. Fu followed her and they flipped the light switch which surprisingly worked and the lights flicked on. Yep, dusty. Lots and lots of dust were around the place, but that was to be expected.

"Well I guess this is my first tim being here. Are you sure you didn't know about this?" Maki asked while Fu shook her head. She really hadn't and if she had known then she would've moved in right here inspite of the dust in the place.

"I sure as all hell didn't know about this. It's not a bad place if you fixed it up," Fu stated and Maki agreed with her on that.

"Well then, shall we get started. From what I see there is a kitchen, a living room, and probably an upstairs with more rooms. We've got lots of stuff to do," Maki said and Fu shrugged her shoulders. She could stay out late and no one would care. Besides, it's not like she had anyone waiting at home for her anyway.

"Good point. But seriously, are we really friends?" Fu asked while Maki smiled. She nodded her head before finding some cleaning supplies.

"That's right. Now let's get to work Fu-san," Maki said and Fu eagerly nodded as she was happy that she had just had her first real comrade and friend.

Maki and Fu didn't get far to cleaning the house before they heard the door open. Both girls tensed before they heard coughing.

"Maki, you in here?" Pakura asked/shouted before Maki smiled.

"Upstairs Pakura-sensei," she shouted while Fu turned to her. Maki gave her a knowing smile that this person wouldn't judge her either and Fu simply took her word for it and waited for the Hero of Suna to arrive.

Pakura came up the stairs while coughing at most of the intruding dust before she saw Maki and Fu come out of two individual rooms. They glanced at each other before Pakura took in Fu's appearance. Slim, trying to stay healthy, a bit of malnutrition, but that could be corrected. Messy hair and very dirty.

"Nice to meet you," Pakura said holding out her hand and Fu grabbed it shaking it up and down.

"Maki informed me about you. I'm Pakura and first issue of business is to get you to a bath," Pakura said while Fu blushed in embarrassment before she walked off to go and take a bath near the waterfall they just passed. Meanwhile Pakura turned to Maki.

"We have to get her out of Taki," Pakura said while Maki turned to her, a little more anxious than the last time.

"Why? I know Taki hates her, but she's from this village. I don't think-," Maki was interrupted by Pakura's talk.

"It seems that an organization called Akatsuki is coming to take her and from what I hear about them then more than likely she will die if she goes with them," Pakura said while Maki turned to her.

"Then what do we do?" Maki asked while Pakura sighed. She brushed a hand with her hair and shook her head.

"I don't know yet. But I just know that we'll have to think of something fast. I don't know where Akatsuki is or how long it will take them to get to Taki. So more than likely we'll have to-," Pakura stopped as a poof came next to her. It was Gaia. Maki knelt down and handed the scroll to Pakura.

"From Naruto-sama. Please continue in your endeavors," Gaia said before poofing out to go back to Mikata and fall asleep until she was called. Pakura unfurled the scroll and read down it. It talked of how Naruto was pleased with Maki for not letting the network distract her from normal life. Happy she actually met the Nanabi jinchuuriki and, learning of her life, asked for Pakura to have her join, but not to force her if she didn't want to, but inform her of what Akatsuki was and their intentions. Pakura smirked and folded her arms.

"Well it seems that he thinks highly of you," Pakura snorted while Maki shrugged her shoulders. She was just doing her job as a member and as a friend.

"Well let's clean this place up and get to talking with Fu-san," Pakura said and Maki completely agreed with her.

In Taki

Two Akatsuki members approached with three smirking chunin as they took them to Fu's current place of residence.

"This is where the bitch lives. She should be here by now so take her out of our hair," one of them said as the two Akatsuki members smiled.

"Zetsu, open the door buddy and let's catch her," a sharkman said while Zetsu kicked the door down. They could say that they were surprised to find the house empty, but also run down and...deserted.

"Hehe even humans can be demons to their own kind," Kisame said and Zetsu nodded his head though the three chunin didn't know what he was talking about.

"Then Kisame shall we wait here?" Zetsu asked and Kisame nodded while placing Samehada down near the door. The three Taki chunin bowed and left the men alone hoping that the bitch would get what she deserved.

In Kiri, three days later

Kin and her new boss worked tirelessly to seat people into the tea shop. Tayuya's flute playing had really brought in quite a number of people and most people could see that she was very beautiful, for a fourteen year old. Tayuya still hated the dresses to death, but she didn't really complain since they were generating a very good source of income. Granted a few people leered at her and Tayuya really wanted to beat the shit out of some of them, but she didn't, until today.

Tayuya kept playing as normal and just ended a song before bowing and stepping off the platform and began to walk towards the kitchen until she felt her arm pulled. Tayuya glared and turned around only to notice what she assumed to be a chunin level Kiri shinobi with a grin on his face.

"Ne Ojou-chan, wanna have some tea with me?" He asked and Tayuya's response was to swat her hand away. She just kept walking before she felt her shoulders grabbed.

"I'm gonna warn you once. Get your mother fucking hands off me," Tayuya replied while the man only smiled. Kin who had been serving people food and drinks looked up and cursed.

"Oh shit," She said while Tayuya tried to walk away, but the man didn't let her. She growled and gritted her teeth before he slipped his arms down.

"Come on, don't be like that. I promise that I want is tea with the lovely singer," he said before he sent a thumbs up to his buddies. Obviously this guy was a little on the fuck-up side since mostly everyone knew that Tayuya was fourteen. Then again maybe disgusting faggots like that in the world existed.

"Hands. Off," Tayuya warned once more while the shop owner and Kin gulped. People could feel Tayuya's rising KI before the man gave another smirk.

"Or what? You wouldn't hit an officer of Yagura-sama would you?" He asked and his only response was a chuckle before Tayuya kneed him in the groin. All of the men winced and touched their spots subconsciously while the chunin went to the ground.

"I don't give a fuck who your boss is! DON'T TOUCH ME YOU SON OF A MOTHERFUCKING BITCH!" Tayuya shouted before she slammed the man in the stomach with her fist sending him flying out of the shop and into a wall making it crack from the sheer pressure. Kin widened her eyes while most people dropped their jaws. Tayuya stomped out and picked the man up by his collar.

"And the next time you put your hands on me I'll take you to your 'Yagura-sama' as well and I'll fuck him up too. Got it bastard?!" Tayuya asked in the middle of the street while Kin sighed.

"So much for subtle," she said with a small smirk before people gulped. They all immediately bowed low and spoke.

"Hello our Mizukage, Yagura-sama," they said and Tayuya widened her eyes before turning her head to see someone about her height with a Kage hat over his head. Yagura looked down at his beaten up chunin and looked back at Tayuya.

"So, who exactly were you going to 'fuck up' miss," Yagura asked while Tayuya lowered her eyes to the ground.

"Son of a bitch. Kami, you just love fucking my life over don't you?" Tayuya asked wondering just how much trouble she was in.


KG: Okay and done with that. Whew, that was something else I think. Hmm I really wasn't thinking about making Naruto a fiend tamer, but it really seemed like a good idea. I just felt that if Naruto could even make a being out of pure chakra a.k.a Kyuubi, be friends with him then I'd really thought it'd be cool if Naruto could do the same thing with fiends. Sort of like it was inspired by How To Train Your Dragon sort of thing. Also, I like Galla fiends. They were an ass to fight, but for some reason I liked them more than any other fiend. Also in the next or one after that, Naruto and Samui will be fully married. Also if you want to know what a Galla fiend looks like then go to the Ninja Gaiden Wiki page and look for Galla under the fiend's archive. It's interesting. Also I WIN! HAHAHAH!

Ayane: Can't...drink...another...bottle!

Naruto: Ugggh too much cream soda! (Falls down). Umm yeah sure whatever. You have your show to do.

KG: Sigh, fine fine. Let's just do this shit already. (I take chair) alright then people, what is this show called?

People: KYUUBIGOKU'S LIFE COUNSELING!

KG: Stupid shit! Ahem, now then. Our first guest happens to someone who very much liked or not so liked. He's been in three or four games and is an amazing shooter. He works for the U.S Government and the Division of Security Operations. Everyone please welcome our very own, Leon S. Kennedy!

(Leon appears)

Leon: Hi, yeah whatever. (Sits down)

KG: So tell us Leon, why do you need life counseling?

Leon: Because it's required for my profession for some reason. We all need to do it now so I just want to get this over with. I don't feel like letting myself out to a 19-year old.

KG: Ouch. And I don't really feel like listening. I just got this show because I can't do my challenges, but whatever. Look we'll just agree to disagree alright?

Leon: Fair enough.

KG: Now then, tell me. What is on your mind?

Leon:...Ada.

KG: Ahhh yes, the woman who never seems to be able to stay dead for more than 30 minutes. Okay, so tell me why do you like Ada?

Leon: Who said I like her?

KG: Well you haven't, but almost every Resident Evil game that you've been in hints towards it. Plus the fact that she saves your ass and then fucks it up later.

Leon: That's her.

Naruto: Wow, this guy is pegged.

Samui: Too pegged.

Ayane: Pegged to a tee.

KG: Now then would you like to confront Ada?

Leon: About what?

KG: About your relationship?

Leon: No, no I wouldn't.

KG: Well too fuckin' bad. This is my Tv show and I need some shit to happen so without further intros. You know her, you love her. She's the smexy woman in red, the double-crosser woman. The woman with the plan. She probably doesn't know what she wants in her life. Everyone please welcome Ada...Kennedy?

Leon: Kennedy?

(Ada arrives)

Ada: That's right. Ada Kennedy, you ungrateful ass. See? (Shows ring)

Leon: A-Ada, you-

Ada: I thought about it the last time we met. It's obvious that you're never going to leave me alone so I guess I'll just have to put up with it. Does this satisfy you?

Leon: Wait, you save me then you try to kill me. You save me again and then still try to kill me. You save me AGAIN and now you want to marry me?

Ada: In a nutshell, that's right handsome.

KG: Hmm, and Leon how does that make you feel?

Leon:...I can't feel my legs.

Ada: I'd better not feel mine after the ceremony handsome. (Winks)

KG: (Twitch)

Naruto: Hmm lucky bastard.

Samui & Ayane: What's that supposed to mean?

Naruto: I mean, he's going to get some and I won't for another chapter or two? How is this fair?

Samui: Is that all that matters to you?

Naruto: Oh of course not. I genuinely care about you Samui-chan. You too Ayane-chan. I love you both.

Ayane: That's right you do cause I'm still gonna kick your ass for that kiss.

Naruto: But you loved it.

Ayane: Doesn't mean I was prepared for it!

Samui: Oh and Naruto, if you do bring Tenka back with you then you'd better find him a place to stay cause I'll accept Mikata, but that fiend will need to go somewhere.

Ayane: Wait, you're keeping it?

Naruto: I'm not going to kill it.

KG: Can we save your conversation for later?

Them: Sorry.

Leon: Ada I don't know what to say.

Ada: You'd better say yes. I just got dragged out here by this guy's producers. I swear almost put me at risk. So come on and say yes or I won't save you anymore.

Leon: You make a valid point there. How do I know you won't run off again?

Ada: You don't. (Winks)

KG: Oh brother. The personalities of these people.

Leon: (Smirks) Fine Ada. Yep, you're my wife. Let's go. Thank you KyuubiGoku.

KG: Umm you're welcome? Did I even do anything?

Ada: Alright Leon, now that we're married we have to meet up later, make plans, invite friends, get the cake, buy a house, and find the-

Leon: Oh son of a-

KG: Hehehe, yep and it starts.

(Ada walks off)

(I grab Leon)

KG: Okay be real with me man. Did you give her a ring?

Leon: I don't even know where she is most of the time. How could I send her a ring?

KG: It's not yours?

Leon: Nope.

KG: So you just stole some dude's ring that he got for Ada and she thinks that you got it when you didn't and you're going to marry her with it?

Leon: Got a problem with that?

KG:...Naw dude. Go, be happy. Make little assassin children. See ya.

(Leon leaves)

KG: That's all folks. Our next person to arrive is...naw never mind. Not gonna say it. Just be prepared. Now then (Ahem). Stay Breezy, protect what's important to you, review, send cream soda and...RESPECT DA CREAM BEYOTCH! Bye bye.

(Somewhere else)

Person: Ada...Ada Wong my love where are you? I divorced my wife and left my job for you to pay for that 10k ring. Ada, my woman in red, where are you?!
