So yeah… I just had to write what was on my mind, and since I only have three hours to write before I go to bed, I am sure I could finish this chapter off before I do so. So yeah, enjoy I guess.

1: Is Naruto going to get a summoning contract?

A: Yep. I just have to decide on what it will be, however, he won't get it until later on.

2: Will Sasuke be as arrogant as ever?

A: Maybe, I still have a chapter or two to decide before I introduce him.

3: Can I have madara meet Naruto and train him in taijutsu?

A: Nope. In this fic, while it would be awesome to have a legendary shinobi train Naruto, It kind of ruins the point of him achieving his own strength at a somewhat fast pace. Now by legendary shinobi, I mean the likes of Minato, Jiraiya and the like. So I could have Gai and all help train Naruto in certain aspects but not as a permanent training source.

4: Did the Uchiha clan live since Minato is the hokage?

A: Wait and see.

5: What are the pairings?

A: I have no clue whatsoever. But I do have an idea as to who I want Naruto to be paired with, but we shall see later on.

6: When will the next chapter be out?

A: Right now.

7: Will Naruto ever have teammates?

A: No, I don't want Naruto to have teammates within this story, however, he will team up with other characters when I have him on missions or something. But for most of his ninja activities he will be alone.

8: What happened to Sakura?

A: She was on a squad that had failed the genin exam. As such, she isn't within the story.

"Speaking"

"Thinking"

"Summons/ bijuu speaking"

"Summons/ bijuu thinking"

"Fire release: Great fireball technique"

Don't own Naruto

Ten minutes…. TEN FUCKING MINUTES!

That's the amount of time it took for him to feel the urge to kill a member of the Inuzuka clan. The stupid mutt hadn't shut his mouth through the entire ten minutes of travel the squad had completed.

Now, what exactly was Naruto worked up about? I mean surely Kiba wasn't talking about anything revolving a civilian bred ninja like him right?

"Hey Dobe! Where's ya bag ya baka? Did you accidently drop it in the bin along with your trash? Oh right, never mind you must live in the trash, after all, you are just a Dobe. Unlike me, an alpha male who just reeks of awesomeness. Right Hinata?" Asked Kiba as he and the rest of team 8 jumped across branch after branch in a diamond formation with Naruto taking the lead, much to Kiba's earlier protests.

Hearing her name being mentioned, the Hyuga heiress could only release an irritated sigh. Turning her head slightly towards the right were Kiba was, Hinata could only send the "alpha" a small glare.

"Kiba-san, focus on the mission. This is our first C-rank and I don't want to get distracted and lose the opportunity of completing the mission set by our hokage." Replied Hinata as she activated her byakugan to send the point across.

However, even she knew the Inuzuka wouldn't shut up as he only turned his attention towards the back of Naruto's head as he jabbed a thumb towards his chest.

"See Dobe?! Even Hinata-chan admits I'm an alpha of the highest calibre! See let me see her byakugan as proof!" Shouted the teen, while also getting a supportive bark from the ninken laying on top of Kiba's brown shaggy hair.

Naruto simply held his twitching to a minimum as he continued to move towards the designated area, which by his calculations would only be three minutes away from his current position.

Looking around his surroundings. Naruto couldn't help but narrow his eyes as he gazed along the tree tops and forest floors as he and team 8 jumped from branch to branch.

It wasn't a moment later did Naruto suddenly stop on the next branch with his hand held out to stop. However, much to his internal Irritation, team 8 simply chose to ignore him and continue jumping with Kurenai's order as she decided to actually contribute to the mission.

Watching as his "team" continued on forwards, Naruto sent a look towards one of the tree's ahead of him with a weird marking stabbed into the base of the tree.

Narrowing his eyes once more, Naruto pulled a small notebook out before copying the marking before focusing on the marking that he drew down within his small notebook.

Gazing at the sketch, Naruto couldn't help but stare into the book before turning his attention back towards the tree, however, the little nagging at the back of his head began to ring louder as he shifted his head to and from his sketch to the tree before finally releasing a sigh.

But, no matter what, Naruto could only narrow his eyes further as he stared towards the marking image that was in his now little notebook that he kept around to document on different things, something that his sensei Yamato thought was a good idea when he talked to him about it.

"Something's wrong here… This isn't a natural mark… Could it be… Fuinjutsu? No… I haven't gotten enough information yet… But this does cause for concern. If there is a fuinjutsu marking around the area that a supposed bandit camp is… We might not be dealing with only bandits. And from the look of the marking, it seems that there is a high chance of a ninja being involved who is either really good at fuinjutsu, or Kenjutsu as the marking seemed to be cut into the oak tree base…. Dammit Kurenai! A fucking Jonin but obviously not very observant… I have to get this news to my team…" Muttered Naruto with a slight sigh as he flipped his notebook closed before pushing himself forwards onto the branch ahead of him as he then began to jump across the tree tops via tree branches.

Narrowing his eyes, Naruto began to send his view in every direction as he continued to jump across the tree branches, his six sense, or as he liked to call it, his "shinobi sense" just burned within the back of his skull as he spotted a few more similar markings along the base of trees near the forest floor.

It was two minutes later did Naruto know for a fact that the markings were not just for show as team 8 hadn't returned from completing the bandit clearing mission, which normally only took two or so minutes as when compared to shinobi, bandits, well the regular kind, were like five year olds who couldn't hit all that hard.

Landing on another branch, Naruto snapped his eyes towards the next tree branch he was about to jump onto before sending his eyes towards the base of the branch were, much to his "surprise" was another marking… But what worried him was the small backpack that was left on the branch.

And that backpack happened to be Hinata's from what he remembered.

Looking back towards the marking once more, Naruto moved his hands into a cross sign before supplying his chakra into the technique.

"Kage bunshin no jutsu" Mumbled Naruto as he summoned a single shadow clone besides him with a small pant. He knew for a fact that his kage bunshin's chakra supply was nothing over a mid-level genin. But that would be enough for him.

Turning his head slightly towards the clone, Naruto nodded his head, getting a small nod from his clone as he jumped onto the next branch… Where it then widened its eyes as a wave of chakra injected itself into the clone before paralysing him, causing the clone to fall towards the ground with a small thud, a thud which dispelled the clone, returning all the memories the clone had went through.

It was safe to say that Naruto had no intention of going through the marked trees.

However, that caused him to widen his eyes in shock as an image flashed through his head. An image that could only make Naruto grit his teeth as he thought back to the possibilities to where his team had disappeared to.

And the first that popped up in his head was the simple image of his "team" walking past the now identified seal and falling victim towards its effects.

"This is not a C-rank mission. Fuinjutsu is one of the hardest to grasp ninja techniques. And there is no possible way simple "bandits" could have this kind of knowledge. They defiantly have a missing ninja among them… This isn't good… What's worse is that my team is now probably taken hostage… Yea, this mission is well above C-rank… And I don't have the leisure of returning to Konoha and asking for back up… FUCKING HELL! Why didn't the jonin pick up the unusual markings… But then again… She was only recently promoted… And for that reason I think the fourth was on drugs by giving her three important and highly "respectable" clan heirs… Ok, no time to get back up. My best bet would be to find out where my team are held and free them before retreating and calling for backup… But that brings the original problem back of the bandits attacking regular civilians… Dammit…" Thought Naruto with a small glare as he looked towards the markings once more before reviewing what he got from his clone.

"So, from what I get from the seal, it's a scentless poison that is inhaled. Which then paralyse the victim till they drop. It's also directs itself into the user's lungs to restrict breathing and making the user tire quicker along with making them sluggish before complete paralysis takes place… The poison is also injected by a forceful wave of chakra which makes dodging it all but impossible… Ok… Guess I'm going to need to create another clone to check the ground and see if it's safe." Muttered Naruto as he raised his hands once more to create another Kage bunshin, much to his slight irritation as he felt his chakra once again drop to 50% before releasing a sigh.

Giving a nod, Naruto watched as his clone jumped down towards the forest floor, only to get caught in a trap. However, before it expelled itself, it saw the original give a short shake of his head, allowing the clone to hold its form before it suddenly began to hear the voices of what appeared to be a group of men. If the tone and depth of the voice said anything.

However, as instructed, Naruto watched as the clone got dragged off with the small army of men, much to the clone's irritation as it sent a final look towards its creator.

Shaking his head slightly with a small grin at how his clone reacted, Naruto dropped down towards the ground before following the slight dragging marks that appeared across the floor as he watched the large group disappear over the forests horizon.

Keeping an eye out for more fuinjutsu markings that he could come across either by accident or on purpose, Naruto began to pursue the group with constant awareness as he followed a fair distance behind as he once more caught sight of the men who had "captured" his clone.

It didn't take long however for Naruto to come upon the sight of what appeared to be the bandit camp as he once again took to hiding within the tree tops as he then sent his gaze down towards the large amount of hostages that were all grouped together in the centre in what appeared to be a fuinjutsu barrier.

How exactly did the bandits capture so many people without the shinobi of konoha noticing he had no clue, but he did know that this wasn't a regular C-rank mission anymore…

No…. This was a B-rank hostage + elimination mission… And that wasn't taking into the account of the possible ninja's within the area who had helped the bandits.

Shaking his head. Naruto returned his focus to the bandit camp itself and narrowed his eyes as he captured the two likely shinobi's, due to both their garb and slashed headbands, but there was also the chance of there being more of them in the area.

Mentally capturing the two within his mind, Naruto then began to count down the list of enemies before mentally wanting to cry as he finished his total count, that being from what he could currently see over 23 bandits with 2 shinobi, most likely chunin rank from both appearance and body structure.

Shutting his eyes slightly, Naruto moved his head towards the centre of the camp, his head going through multiple scenarios of ways to help those who were captured…

Most thoughts ended with him probably dying at the hands of the bandit/shinobi group.

Looking towards those captured, who he noticed were awake but bound by both the wrists and ankles, Naruto easily found his squad within the edge of the barrier fuin attempting in vain to destroy the barrier that kept them caged. However, instead of the barrier causing them damage, it only seemed to resist the pounding of fists from those within.

However, that also came upon the attention of Naruto as he looked towards the slightly transparent white barrier with a narrowed stare.

"I can't hear those within talking… So the barrier also makes it impossible for those outside of the technique to hear what is being spoken of within. It also seems to nullify the chakra of the user as he was sure Kurenai would have probably used a small genjutsu to make a bandit help them escape from the barrier… Ok… From what I can see, if I were to smudge the outer fuinjutsu strokes, the barrier should collapse on itself and allow those captured to escape, however, I don't know if those caught within the technique will be able to use their chakra instantly. If they can it means that I have three other genin and one jonin joining in on the fight, something that will make our chances of living all the higher… But how should I approach this?" Thought Naruto to himself as he shut his eyes in concentration as he went through scenarios of possible outcomes.

"Ok… My options here are limited with the time frame of being able to initiate the plan is also incredibly slim, but not only that, I also have the disadvantage of not knowing exactly what I'm going up against. Something that could possibly kill either me or a hostage later on… Shit… Ok first off… The dumbest of the possible options being a frontal assault. Perks, surprise advantage. Negatives, I will be spotted and be instantly attacked once the few precious seconds of surprise wears off…. Joy… Option two however is just to stealth it and somehow free both the hostages and attack the enemy simultaneously. Something that even I know is impossible without being able to use the Kage bunshin no jutsu on a somewhat large scale. The most I could manage would be about 2 which can be actually useful and the clones would only have about two minutes with the chakra they store which would be ¼ of my entire chakra amount each, which also brought my own levels down to ½ my actual amount… Well… Seems like option three works as the other two aren't the best for the situation." Thought Naruto with a small grin as he raised his hands up once more, summoning over ten kage bunshin who had literally ten seconds before they dispelled themselves due to lack of chakra supply.

Giving a quick nod, the clones all jumped into the air, making the enemy down below widen their eyes in shock as they watched the clones all throw multiple explosive kunai down towards the bandit camp, something that made everyone widen their eyes in shock for a moment before a cold chill began to run up each and every spine that was outside of the barrier.

It was too bad that they didn't focus more on the kunai as the moment they landed they began to glow. And anything glowing in the shinobi universe isn't normally a good thing.

Looking down towards the clearing once more, Naruto raised his hands up into a release seal before releasing a small breath of air.

"…. Kai!" Shouted Naruto as he pumped chakra into his numerous clones as they also reflected the release handsign's before sending a small bit of their chakra into the kunai thrown, causing the clearing to light up in a bright shine before a massive explosion rang through the clearing.

Looking from his perch, Naruto narrowed his mind at the smoke for a moment before clapping his hands together.

"Wind Release: Gale Palm!" Shouted Naruto as a strong blast of air pushed all the smoke away from the clearing, revealing a bloody sight of multiple dead bandits and chunks of body parts all scattered around the area.

Turning his attention towards the centre of the clearing. Naruto couldn't help but release a small sigh as he gave the clone that had been captured a thumbs up as he spotted him, along with the rest of team 8, sending a good amount of chakra into the now damaged fuinjutsu barrier, which had managed to take on the onslaught of the multiple explosion kunai barrage.

The clone seeing his boss nod once more, gave his own nod before disappearing in a small poof of smoke before allowing the once strong and transparent barrier crumble into pieces around their bodies, much to the captured civilian's amazement.

Shaking his head slightly, Naruto began to scout the area as he walked around the clearing, something that instantly drew the attention of those who had been held captive not even a few moments ago.

However, before anyone could mutter a word, it seemed the sensei of team 8 opened her mouth.

Walking toward black haired child, Kurenai couldn't help but look slightly disgusted as she watched the child walk around the bloodied clearing without a speck of emotion showing upon his face, something that worried her slightly as a genin by all rights should not be blankly staring around the clearing like a curious child.

But, just as she was going to speak, Naruto suddenly turned towards her and gave a mighty shove, shocking all their present. But before anyone could comment, a small earth spear shot out of the ground and stabbed right through his right shoulder, causing Naruto to give a mighty scream of pain as the earth spear went straight through his shoulder.

Kurenai could only widen her eyes at this, along with her genin as they quickly began to form a diamond position around the now injured Naruto, the civilians however seemed to take this as their chance of leaving, thus leaving the now once slightly rowdy clearing dead silent as team 8 began to search their surroundings with a serious expression.

Turning her head slightly, Kurenai took a small look towards hinata before nodding her head, which in turn gained a separate nod from the Hyuga heiress.

"Byakugan!" Shouted Hinata as she activated her eyes and began to look for the concealed enemy Nin, something that she easily found now hiding slightly within the trees.

"Kurenai-sensei! There's two of them within the trees directly ahead of you!" Shouted Hinata, her focus slowly drifting towards the one they were protecting as she watched him snap the earth spear that was created from the ground in half before ripping it out of his now damaged shoulder.

Giving a small glare directly in front of her, Kurenai quickly sped through some handsign's before lifting her right hand towards her mouth in a perfect "O" shape.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball!" Shouted Kurenai as she blew a fireball towards the tree's ahead of her, watching as the two previously hidden nin jump from both sides of the tree with a psychotic grin upon their faces.

However, just as one of Nin were about to open their mouths, a sudden scream rang throughout the clearing.

Turning his head, the ninja who was just about to begin talking could only widen his eyes in pure shock as he watched a black wire wrapped around his partners neck before the now captured nin began to scream in pain as he spazzed upon the tree branch he sat.

However, because of the small distraction, the man didn't see the black haired, red eyed woman appear behind him with a kunai pointed towards his neck.

And with a small bit of arm movement, Kurenai watched as the Nin dropped down from the tree with blood pooling out from his throat.

Turning her head back towards her team, Kurenai couldn't help but widen her eyes in slight fear as she watched Naruto drop down in a thud, his wound now bleeding profoundly.

"Naruto!" was the last thing Naruto heard before he felt his consciousness slip.

Yea, ok not my best work. I know that, but I was really slacking and this was the first thing that popped up on my computer screen and because of that, I decided to finish this chapter off, I know I'm terrible for not writing up the next Uzumaki devil chapter, this time for sure I will begin writing for it. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the chapter, even if a little under par that usual, and I hope to get some reviews from you all.
