Naruto doesn't cry

by Mnarutodbz

Naruto is adopted by Dante. A few years later he returns. What kind of surprises will he have for the people of Konoha. No yoai. Harem.

11. Chapter 10: The missing people part 2

Mnarutodbz "Hello people, I am back with a new chapter of Naruto doesn't cry!"

Vergil "It became time."

Mnarutodbz "Stop with the whining! Everyone is whining about that but I can't help it because I am busy!"

Vergil "Tsk…alright."

Dante "So is it time for the reviews?"

Mnarutodbz "Indeed but Vergil is the one who will introduce the reviews."

Vergil looked startled "Why me?"

Mnarutodbz "Because you're popular…even more popular than Dante and Naruto."

Dante "It's because of his looks."

Mnarutodbz "You wish because you two are twins so his looks are your looks."

Dante "I don't see any other way that he is cool."

Mnarutodbz "What about his calm attitude or the way he handles with certain situations?"

Dante "Stop it already…now you're going to lecture me that I have to be more like him instead of a hyper-active brat but at least I have one thing working for me…"

Mnarutodbz "And that is?"

Dante "I saved the world more times than him."

Mnarutodbz seems to think and finally says "Fair enough…let's go to the reviews."

The weird kid "Another good chapter as usual. I have a few questions. For Naruto: I know this happens later in the anime, but have you started training to make the Rasenshuriken yet?

For the author: Because of the bond with Itachi, will Naruto have a demonic version of the sharingan?

For Kushina: since that other person wouldn't let you have any, I made you and Naruto pizza flavored Ramen. Enjoy *Gives them ramen, then runs away from the blast zone."

Naruto "The Rasenwhat?"

Mnarutodbz "The rasenshuriken. It's a technique you develop later. It's the rasengan combined with the nature element of wind."

Naruto "Ah yes…well I haven't started yet. I told Jiraiya I wouldn't develop it yet because I don't want to rely on a technique I just developed."

Mnarutodbz "As for my question…Naruto wouldn't have a demonic sharingan…but there will be some other effects…which ones? Read the coming chapter" Laughs evilly MUAHAHAHAHA

Kushina "Thank you!" and she stuffs her face with pizza flavored ramen. Naruto looks at it with a disgusted look on his face and says "You even have worse table manners than me…"

Kushina stops eating and glares at Naruto "What did you say?"

Naruto looks startled and says "Me? I didn't say anything."

Kushina erupts with the power of a volcano and she screamed "I'M NOT DEAF!" Nuclear blast zone…censured because of the strong language, needless violence and some other crap…on the other hand…use your imagination :P

Mnarutodbz "Next…review. It's a long one so I am going to answer the questions one by one."

SuperNarutoLover "Hi! Here I am again. I have read your update...nice chapter. It was good to see that you wrote about Naruto's famous luck when it comes to gambling.

I would have loved to see the chunin exams but this is good although it's a filler. Here I have some questions for the cast:

Naruto: I loved your idea with the shennin goroshi on Jiraiya and Blitz...only why in the world would you perform a dangerous technique on Itachi like that...DON'T HURT ITACHI!

Naruto "I had to…or else he would be dead."

Itachi: What is going to happen to you next? What do you feel right now? Did some...other things change? Oh wait sorry, my mind is going the wrong way.

Itachi "Do I want to know what she means?"

Mnarutodbz starts to shake his head.

Jiraiya: Dirty...dirty...dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty SUPER PERVERT!

Jiraiya laughs out loud "Thank you! Finally someone recognizes me!"

Tsunade: Buy a leash for Jiraiya.

Tsunade "Tried it but he used substitution jutsu on me every time."

Sasuke: What happened to you with the curse seal? Are you going all emo again...or are you going gay? In the original series it was a little bit of both so...

Sasuke "No one can stop the power of the emo!"

Mnarutodbz "Stop it or else I will take away your Tokio Hotel cd's…and by the way you will be neither of it…or perhaps you might become one of the two…or both."

Vergil: I like your humor! I laughted my ass of with your remark when Dante told you that you were harsh on Trish.

Vergil "The truth is there to be told."

Dante "Jackass."

Dante: Please don't enter bars. Your luck with cards is almost as bad as your luck with women and since you can find both on bars I would recommend you to stay away from them.

Dante "Yet another one who mocks me…"

Anko *gives some dango*: Here. Because you're so cool! And don't worry about what other people say...you are not a seductive nymphomaniac!

Anko "Thanks…and of course I am not a seductive nymphomaniac…and those who say otherwise will get their balls removed after I had my way with them…oops…did I say that last part out loud?"

Mnarutodbz nods "Anyway…you're not like that in this story so I will forget about it this time."

That was it. Please update quicker in the future although I read the saiyans new adventure as well.

jaa ne"

Mnarutodbz "Okay…next review."

Flamefoxvixen "very good, and im going to be posting my next chapter sometime this month so keep an eye out for it!

anywho, onto my questions, Naruto, i know why puppy eyes work, i use it myself on occasions to get what i what. But a warning though, it doesnt work on everyone so be careful. Vergil you never answered my request for an autograph from you! -cries and looks hurt-

Okay Dante, you seem bored towards the end of this chapter dun ask me why cause I'm not sure it just seemed that way for me. And Itachi, i feel bad for you but I'm so happy that you're not going to die because of the cancer! yes i do know what you were sick with. ;) anyway, bye bye for now from the friendly kitsune!"

Naruto "I know that puppy eyes don't always work…I tried it on Trish once and it made her hit even harder…"

Vergil sighs and gives her a piece of paper "Here…am I finally done?"

Itachi "Uhm…thank you."

Mnarutodbz "Okay those where the questions from our friendly flamefoxvixen. NEXT"

AngelDevilSpiritReaper "Cool Story! So I got some things to say to a few of ya

Naruto: Man you are so damn lucky about getting laid by multiple girls. And also try keeping yourself on a low profile. You picked up some of your mom's attitudes, your dad's looks, and your uncle Tony's styles, likes and his crazy hardheaded attitudes. Although I gotta hand it to you, you are a bit more mature than Dante.

Naruto "Thanks."

Dante: Hey Tony! I see your still... well nothing changed. So when are you going to train Kushina to control her Devil blood?

Dante "Well I did promise that I would and I am a man of my word…unless you're a demon of course…than it's another story."

Vergil: Nice job on being the proctor! the bald guy is way much worse to be a proctor.

Vergil "Thank you…it was a very…different experience."

Kushina: I can't wait to see your very own Devil Trigger and to have your very own Devil Arm.

Kushina "I can't wait myself! BELIEVE IT!"

Mnarutodbz looks disturbed "What…the…bloody…hell…"

Kushina blushes "Sorry…bad habit."

Kyuubi: So you're trying to help Naruto make his own Harem good luck and try to solve the problem about his pheromones.

Kyuubi smirks "Hard to tell…this fox always have some tricks on her sleeves."

Itachi: Hey so you're not part of the akatsuki anymore...cool and awwww the cool part is you didn't die the awww part is who's going to replace you?

Itachi "Akatsuki? What's Akatsuki?"

Mnarutodbz "An evil organization that will appear later…and just for the record…Itachi was never part of it from the beginning."

So that is all my questions...for now

Nice meeting you guys. I got to reap some souls now some guys challenged me in getting more souls so bye!

Mnarutodbz "And those are the reviews I've selected to put in this review section."

Dante "But why aren't you covering all reviews?"

Mnarutodbz "Well I covered some reviews and I am already at 1.371 words right now…I don't want this section to be too long in comparison with the chapter."

Dante "I see…but what if they have something important to ask you?"

Mnarutodbz shrugs "If it's something important they can always PM me on fanfiction…easy as that."

Vergil sighs "Shall we start with the new chapter? This is getting boring."

Mnarutodbz "I agree but first the disclaimer…Vergil would you do the honors?"

Vergil nods and says:

Disclaimer: Mnarutodbz doesn't own Naruto, Devil may cry nor any characters used in this FANFICTION!

Ouzuki town was covered with the darkness of the night and yet it didn't sleep. Especially around this time people noticed that Ouzuki town mostly lives on entertainment. The bars were loud and the ringing of machines was heard in the many casino's that Ouzuki town has.

Naruto, Dante and Vergil were standing on a roof that had a good view over the alley. They were waiting for the moment the contact person from the Order of Light appeared for the appointment he had with the informant they took care of earlier this day.

Naruto whispered to Vergil "Will he show up?"

Vergil "I don't see why not. He had an appointment and that informant left town without the opportunity to warn him."

Dante "I just wish he showed up…I'm getting really bored."

Naruto "If you stayed in Konoha you would be even more bored so stop complaining and be happy that Vergil took you on this mission."

Dante "Yeah yeah yeah."

Vergil "Be quiet…both of you. Someone is coming."

The three people looked down and they saw a man. He was covered in a white suit and he had a mask on. He looked around and walked further into the alley. He whispered something, apparently the name of the informant.

Naruto looked at Vergil, who nodded when he saw that Naruto looked at him. They jumped from the roof and almost silently the landed on their feet. The man in the white suit looked around but he couldn't find anything. He probably decided to leave and turned around to exit the alley but he stopped in his footsteps when he saw Dante, Naruto and Vergil.

He looked around to make a run for it but before he could formulate a plan Vergil already pinned him to the wall and he was holding Yamato against his neck. Vergil smirked and said "It's time for a conversation."

The man looked at Vergil and said "You…you are that brother from Dante…I have nothing to say to you."

Dante said "When Vergil wants to talk to you, you better listen…it's good for your health."

The masked man chuckled and said "I'm a loyal follower of the Order of Light…I do not fear death."

Vergil started to grin, something that didn't happen often and something that predicts a terrible fate for someone in the presence of Vergil. Vergil said "Perhaps that's true but there are so many ways to die. Some are painless…others…well…let's just say that they don't fear death anymore…at that point they welcome it."

The masked man said "Go to hell!"

Suddenly an ethereal sword appeared and pierced the hand of the masked man, who started to scream. Vergil said "Been there, done that. Let us try this again."

The masked man said "Screw you."

Vergil suddenly looked very serious. With his free hand he grabbed the ethereal sword and wiggled it up and down. The man screamed in agony and Dante said "That looks painful. You should better talk to Vergil. Now he is just torturing your hand…it won't take long before he goes to other limbs."

Vergil said "So…are you willing to answer some questions now?"

The man grunted and he was breathing heavily and he nodded. Vergil said "Good. First question…what is the reason that you are here?"

The masked man said "I had an appointment with an informant who gives us information about suitable candidates."

Vergil "Suitable candidates for what?"

The masked man said "The Order of Light is a big organization but the demons are growing in numbers as well. We are preparing ourselves for the war that will come sooner or later and for that we need warriors."

Naruto "But why are they taking children?"

Vergil "Don't you understand? Children are easier to influence. They want to make killing machines out of them, machines who carry out missions without thinking…and kill everyone who gets in their way…human and demon alike."

Naruto snorted "Pathetic scum."

Vergil "Where is the camp of The Order of Light?"

The masked man said "Just a few miles to the east from here…but you won't get in…it's heavily guarded."

Vergil "That is our concern…now for my final question. Who is in control of this…operation?"

The masked man gasped and remained quiet. Vergil simply shrugged and got ready to grab the ethereal sword again but the masked man almost screamed out "No please…I'll tell you. It's Cold."

Vergil suddenly looked interested "Cold? I thought he worked alone."

The masked man started to shake his head "Not anymore. Crimson convinced him to join us some time ago."

Vergil "That's all we need to know." And suddenly he knocked the masked man out with the hilt of Yamato. Vergil said "That would prevent him to warn the Order of Light for the time being."

Dante "Indeed…but do we have a plan to infiltrate that base? I mean that guy said it is heavily guarded."

Vergil "I do have a plan. That man is masked so he could be anyone…the only thing we need now is the thing he needs to take back to the base."

Dante "You mean a child? But where do you want to take one? I mean it isn't our style."

Vergil "I'm not going to abduct a child."

Dante "So what's your plan than? I mean they know all of us, including Naruto."

Vergil started to shake his head and said "Use your brain for once. They THINK they know Naruto but actually…they don't know anything about him."

Dante looked strange but Naruto said "I understand now! That's a great plan Vergil."

Dante "I really don't get it."

Vergil rolled with his eyes and said "What a surprise. I'll explain this slowly. They know that Naruto exist, that is true…but the only description they have of him is that he has blond hair and azure blue eyes and that he is short for his age…but I am taking a silver haired, taller boy with me…can you follow me to this part?:"

Dante's face cleared up and said "I get it! Undo the metamorphosis!"

Vergil nodded "Indeed."

Dante "Good plan but what is my role in this plan of yours?"

Vergil "After we enter the base you will try to thin out their defensive line and find a good position for yourself"

Dante smirked "My kind of gig."

Vergil "Don't get overconfident. I you are found out we are too."

Naruto "But what do we do when we are inside the camp?"

Vergil "I'll explain…"

And Vergil whispered to Naruto and Dante…

Later that night in Konoha

Sasuke was sleeping. He looked peaceful but a close observation would tell people that he wasn't enjoying a quiet sleep. He was sweating and he was turning his head a few times. Just a minute later he immediately sat up with his eyes wide open.

He placed his hand on his head and said "That dream again…this is the third time in a row." He suddenly looked to the wall. He thought he heard someone grunting. Sasuke thought That's coming from Itachi's room…

Sasuke stood up and sneaked his way towards Itachi's room. He saw that Itachi wasn't having a good night sleep as well. He was sweating and sometimes a grunt escaped from his mouth. He was talking softly now but Sasuke didn't understand. Itachi said "Why do they use children…it makes no sense. They are supposed to be the good guys."

Sasuke looked at his brother and thought Did he leave the hospital too soon or is he just having a bad dream?

In the meantime Itachi was still whispering "Follow the plan…don't lose your temper…"

At the same time with Naruto

Vergil, who was wearing the suit of the masked man, was dragging Naruto along as a prisoner. Suddenly Naruto looked up with a surprised look on his face and Vergil said "Is something the matter Naruto?"

Naruto said "No…I thought I heard someone saying that I shouldn't lose my temper and that I should follow your plan."

Vergil "Perhaps your subconscious."

Naruto started to shake his head "No…it never bothered me before and if it was it never spoke out loud."

Vergil shrugged and said "We are getting near the camp. You remember everything we talked about?"

Naruto nodded. He and Vergil reached the gate of the camp and the guard said "Ah Eziël, you're back. It took you longer this time."

With a twisted voice Vergil said "This one is a runner."

The guard laughed and said "You shouldn't be running at your old age. Bring him immediately to Cold. He is at quarters."

Vergil nodded and the gate opened. Vergil looked around and saw a big tent in the middle of the camp. He looked further and saw a few young children who were training with sticks while another group of children were working.

Naruto grinded his teeth and Vergil said "Don't do anything foolish."

Vergil dragged Naruto with him to the tent and when they entered they saw a man. Naruto looked very surprised. He thought that the leader of the operation would be a big, bulky man with a scary face but the man they were facing now is quite different. He had a kind face and two clear grey eyes looked at them. Only an observer could see that those eyes reflected the pain the man endured. He was slim and he had medium long blond hair. There was a big red scar on his face and he was wearing a black robe with a white cross on it.

When the man looked at Vergil an angry expression came on his face and he said "You brought another one Eziël? You know I hate this operation right?"

Vergil said "Orders are orders, I can't help it."

Cold said "Damn the Order…if I didn't need them for my purpose I would…never mind. Bring him with the others."

Vergil "That would be a problem sir. This one is feisty."

Cold "Then lock him up with that woman we captured earlier. One day with her and he would beg us to fight for the Order."

Vergil nodded and left the tent together with Naruto. Vergil said "I don't know what that woman is Cold was talking about but do you think you can handle it?"

Naruto vaguely nodded and they were walking to the only building made out of stone. The guard stopped Vergil and said "Where do you think you are going?"

Vergil "Cold's orders. This is a feisty kid and I have to lock him up with the woman."

The guard started to shake his head "Poor kid. Alright proceed."

Vergil brought Naruto into the building and Vergil whispered "I'll sneak around and when it's time to take action I'll get you out of here…it's up to you to stay alive until I do."

Naruto whispered back "I know…just don't take too long."

Vergil nodded they kept on walking until they came to a sealed room. They saw a woman with blond hair sitting in the corner. She was bound by steel chains and she looked angry at Vergil and Naruto.

Vergil got the keys which were hanging on the wall and unlocked the door and pushed Naruto in and locked the door behind him. Vergil put the keys back and left the building.

Naruto was looking at the woman who was glaring at him. Naruto said "Take it easy…I'm a prisoner just like you."

The woman said "You're nothing like me…if I wasn't bound by these chains and this idiotic collar you would see how different we really are."

Naruto was looking at the woman's neck and he saw a very strange collar. He said "What does that collar do?"

The woman said "Forget about it…you wouldn't believe me anyway."

Naruto "Try me…I'm someone who thinks outside of the box."

The woman said "In my home village people call me a monster and for a good reason…because in a way I am."

Naruto "You are monster? You look like a regular woman to me."

The woman said "Anyway I have a monster inside me…the two tailed monster cat."

Naruto suddenly looked serious "So you're a jinchuuriki."

The woman looked surprised and said "Where did you hear the phrase? Most people don't even know that word….they usually use the word freak or…"

Naruto finished "monster, demon and stuff like that…I know."

The woman said "How do you…?"

Naruto smirked "It takes one to know one…"

The woman said "You're one as well…which one?"

Naruto "The nine-tailed fox."

The woman nodded "I've heard it is a vile beast."

Naruto chuckled "She isn't so bad as soon as you get to know her…now…let's see what I can do about your shackles."

Naruto walked towards the woman's chains and he was looking at it. Eventually he took the chain at a certain point and pulled it apart. Naruto smiled and said "Always look for the weakest link…my name is Naruto by the way."

The woman was rubbing her wrist and she said "Yugito. I'm so glad that I am free from those chains. Now it's time to remove this annoying collar."

Naruto "What does that collar do?"

Yugito "It's prohibiting me from using the power of the tailed beast."

Naruto nodded and with a simple pull he removed the collar. Naruto said "Only just wait for the right moment to get out…I wasn't captured and that guy that put me here is a good guy. We are trying to free the children the Order of Light abducted."

Yugito nodded "I see…as ninja's?"

Naruto started to shake his head "No…actually I'm the only one who is a ninja. The other two are demon hunters by profession…too bad that there are only human demons around here."

Yugito grinded her teeth "They deserve death just like regular demons."

Naruto nodded "In some cases…yes. But remember that there are always guys who joined them because they are blinded by past experiences. Not everyone is necessarily evil."

Yugito "I'll think about that when the time comes."

Naruto smirked "That will be soon if I'm not mistaking."

In the camp, the watchtower

There were two guards in the watchtower. They're brothers called Towo and Tawo. They were especially selected for this operation because they always done a good job.

Tawo was talking to his brother and he said "These new machines to operate the defense system of the camp the Order placed is really complicated."

Towo, the more optimistic part of the duo, smiled and said "We have to go along with the times brother. This state of the art defense system is necessary to optimize the security of the camp. We only have to operate it when the sensors aren't responding."

Tawo pulled an insulted face and said "I prefer the old method, when guards sound the alarm when they suspect trouble. These machines makes the instincts of guards obsolete."

Towo "But it surely makes our job easier."

Tawo "I have to agree but…don't you have the feeling something is a little…off tonight."

Towo shrugged "A little bit but if that's the case the alarm system would have triggered already."

Tawo "And now you have proven my point. There are always ways to go around the defense mechanism."

Towo "You're always so pessimistic. Perhaps you would feel better if you had something to eat…that's probably the reason why you feel like that there is something off tonight…you're just hungry."

Tawo "I'm telling you brother…something is going to happen."

Towo shrugged and decided to change the subject "At least I am hungry…I'm going to get something to eat. Do you want something as well?"

Tawo "Just bring some dango."

Towo walked out of the room, but suddenly Tawo thought he heard something. Tawo said "Towo? Are you still there?"

There was no response although Towo should still hear him. Tawo rushed towards the door and opened it. He saw that Tawo was unconscious and a man dressed in a red trench coat was standing next to him.

Tawo's eyes widened and he turned around to run to the machines but before he could reach it he felt a hard blow to the back of his head and everything turned black.

Dante, who was standing next to Tawo's unconscious body said "You both looked tired so I decided to relieve you two of your duties…but you don't mind that I tie you both up in case you two wake up and want to go back to work again. I don't need workaholics right now."

Dante dragged Tawo and Towo's bodies to the corner of the room and tied them together. He worked towards the machine and he looked at it. He said "I really hate machines…let's see."

The machine had a lot of buttons but Dante saw one button with a kanji for off on it and he pushed it. The screen said to insert a code. Dante pushed a few buttons and the screen said "Inserted wrong code, fill in the right code within ten seconds." And the screen showed a timer that was counting down.

Dante said "Dammit…this is why I hate machines." He got Rebellion from his back and hit the machine. The machine was totally destroyed.

With Vergil

Vergil looked around the camp and saw where the abducted children were held. He found it strange that the children were separated in two groups. He saw someone walking with a white coat and he decided to follow him.

The man in the white coat walked towards a certain building, but he didn't go in from the front but went into the alley next to the building. Vergil smirked and thought This is perfect.

He increased his pace and followed the man in the white coat. Before the man could open the door Vergil reached him already. The man in the coat looked surprised and said "Eziël? What are you doing here? You know this building is off limits."

Vergil, who used his regular voice, said "I wonder why."

The eyes of the man widened and said "Who are you? You aren't Eziël!"

Vergil nodded "Indeed…although his uniform served my purpose."

The man in the white coat said "What happened to him?"

Vergil "I knocked him out when he went to Ouzuki town to abduct another child."

The man said "So you know what we are doing here?"

Vergil "I understand the big picture…but there are still some uncertainties. Why is the group of abducted children divided into two groups?"

The man said "I can't say…I simply can't."

Vergil smirked "That's what that Eziël said but after some…persuasion he was happy to tell me everything."

The man said "I can't…the Order took my family hostage and they will kill them if I tell you anything."

Vergil looked at the man, who looked quite desperate at the moment and Vergil said "If you tell me everything I will find and free your family."

The man looked at Vergil with hope in his eyes and he said "You promise?"

Vergil nodded and the man said "Then follow me. I'll show you what's going on here."

The man opened the door and Vergil followed him. They came into a long hallway that went into the ground and Vergil asked "So why did they abduct your family?"

The man said "I'm a scientist with a good reputation and the Order said they needed my expertise."

Vergil nodded and he said "And what do you know about the leader of this operation Cold? I heard about him before but I only heard good things."

The man nodded and said "Well…I only know he doesn't want to be here and I suspect that he is being forced or deceived one way or another."

Vergil "It sounds like you don't have much contact with him."

The man said "I don't…the Order forbid me to tell him what's going on in this building."

The two entered a big steel door and the man placed his hand to a scanner. Vergil looked surprised and said "I thought that technology wasn't supposed to exist here."

The man said "The Order placed these machines, just like the machine that activates the defense system."

The door opened and Vergil saw a big laboratory and the man pointed to a rack with vials in them and said "This is the potion we have to use of the Order to change the children."

Vergil "In to what?"

The man looked at Vergil and said "Cold hearted assassins. That's why the group of children are divided. One group got the potion already and the others didn't."

Vergil "But why are they using children? I had the theory the children are being influenced by the order but if they can use a potion for that they have the option to choose adults."

The man said "We first used this potion on adult homeless people but the effects were…not in the best interest of the Order. The men became bloodthirsty and uncontrollable and then the Order got the idea to use children. The potion had a different effect. The children got much stronger but more controllable."

Vergil "And you designed the potion?"

The man nodded and Vergil asked "How?"

The man turned around and hit a switch. The lights went on in rooms that were connected to the laboratory and Vergil saw two captured demons. The man said "The first demon is very aggressive and strong and that one is the main ingredient for the potion. The second demon can influence the ones around him if the victim has his blood on him…but strangely enough it only works on children."

Vergil "I understand…but what if the children grow up?"

The man shrugged "I don't know…the Order only told me to do this if I want to see my family alive again."

Vergil "Those monsters…"

Suddenly Vergil opened the door of the first room and he looked at the bound demon. He got Yamato and cut his head off and he did the same with the second demon. Vergil returned to the man and asked "Do you have an antidote for the potion?"

The man nodded and said "I made a supply in secret. I am partly responsible for this situation and I decided that if I got my family back, I would track down the infected children and give them the antidote."

Vergil nodded "Good. Do you have any idea where they captured your family?"

The man said "Although I don't know the exact location, the man who gives me orders told me several times that they would immediately know when I mess up and kill my family, what indicates that they must be nearby."

Vergil nodded and said "Take the antidote and inject it to the children that are injected with the potion and take them out of here."

The man nodded and asked "What are you going to do?"

Vergil "I'm going to free someone and then I am going to destroy this camp."

The man said "But there is a defense system. Even if you avoid the triggers, the guards can activate it manually."

Vergil said "I have a companion who probably took care of it right now."

The man got the antidotes and followed Vergil, who was on his way out…

Somewhere else in the camp

A guard who was guarding the tent where the children were at saw the man in the white coat, which was following Eziël. The guard said "Hey Eziël what's…"

Before the guard could finish his sentence he was hit by Vergil's fist and he fell unconscious. Vergil said to the man in the coat "Go in there and work as fast as you can."

The man smiled and said "Don't worry…the children are tied up when it's sleeping time."

Vergil nodded and said "I'm going to the prison of the camp. If something goes wrong you know where I am."

The man nodded and Vergil turned around.

Vergil walked to the prison and the guard in front of the prison said "Eziël, you're back again?"

Vergil nodded and said "The boss wants to see the child I brought in earlier."

The guard said "So soon?"

Vergil nodded and the guard said "That's strange, most of the time Cold doesn't want to receive anyone around this time."

Vergil said "I'm just following orders. It's annoying but it has to be done."

The guard looked suspiciously at Vergil and said "You find it annoying?"

Vergil nodded "That's what I said."

The hand of the guard went to his sword and said "You're not Eziël! Eziël loves his work and he would never say that his tasks are annoying…even if they are."

Vergil "Too bad you found out…"

The guard released his sword from his sheath and raised up his sword to strike at Vergil but Vergil disappeared and appeared behind the guard and Vergil hit him in the neck.

Vergil entered the prison. On his way there he took off the helmet and soon the white suit disappeared. He went to the cell where Naruto was.

Naruto looked at Vergil and said "Is it time?"

Vergil nodded and got the keys and opened the cell. Naruto and Yugito walked out of the cell and Vergil raised his eyebrows in surprise. Naruto said "She's a jinchuuriki who was caught by the Order of Light…she will aid us in our escape and then she will return to her village."

Vergil nodded. Naruto and Yugito followed him outside and Vergil picked up the sword from the guard he knocked out and tossed it at Yugito, who caught it.

Naruto asked "You know where the children are?"

Vergil nodded and said "It will be taken care of by someone else."

Naruto nodded. If Vergil said it would be taken care of by someone else then it would be alright."

Vergil "Let's go…you go to the tent with the children."

Naruto nodded and said "And you?"

Vergil glared at Cold's tent and said "I have to unravel on more mystery."

Somewhere else in the camp

Cold was taking a stroll in the camp. He loved to walk in the night, sorting things out when he was walking. Suddenly a strange feeling came over him. He looked around but he didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

He shrugged and thought Must be my imagination…

He continued his walk. He went to the supply building because he wanted to bring something to drink back to his tent. He opened the door and suddenly took a step backwards. The room was filled by unconscious people…all the guards to be precise.

He immediately ran to the watchtower and screamed "ACTIVATE THE DEFENSE SYSTEM!"

No one replied and Cold thought it was strange. He went up and entered the room. He saw Towo and Tawo unconscious and tied up. He grinded his teeth and said "I have to do everything myself." And Cold turned around and ran to his tent where his trusted sword was.

He opened the tent and he startled. He saw someone sitting behind his desk, observing his sword. Cold immediately knew what was going on and he said "So you are the one that infiltrated this camp."

Vergil nodded and said "And I was very surprised to see you here Cold."

Cold looked at the man and said "Do I know you?"

Vergil "Yes, although I was wearing a blue robe with a hood. It was around a year ago, in earth country."

Cold seemed to think and suddenly he said "Slayer…you are Slayer aren't you?"

Vergil nodded and said "It's Vergil now. I never thought you would go to the Order of Light."

Cold looked serious and said "It's complicated."

Vergil looked surprised "Complicated? If innocent children are the victims of the Order it isn't complicated anymore."

Cold "The fight against the forces of evil must be won by us…with all needs necessary."

Vergil looked thoughtful "The forces of evil…don't you understand it Cold? You ARE a force of evil now. Maybe your intentions are pure but you have lost your cause."

Cold "No I am not…I'm training these children to become the best demon hunters there are."

Vergil smirked "It seems you are not fully aware of the situation…the Order isn't training simple demon hunters…they are also training ultimate assassins…that's why they haven't told you about the potion."

Cold "What potion?"

Vergil "The Order blackmailed a scientist to create a potion that would make people stronger than average people and controllable for the Order alone…and they used demons to get that."

Cold "No…it can't be…the Order fights demons."

Vergil "It is! I've seen it myself. And what were you thinking when you agreed to this? You know that only 4% of the normal humans are capable of become decent demon hunters? Most of those children wouldn't even become 30 years old. There is a big difference between them and you…the reason, the will, your motivation."

Cold glared at Vergil and said "What do you know about me?"

Vergil "I know that Cold appeared 5 years ago. A few months earlier a family was killed by demons. The farm was destroyed, the cattle destroyed and the family was killed and for the most part devoured. The only one who survived the massacre was a man who was away at the moment. The man was called…"

Cold "You're wrong…that man died as well…he was killed with his family."

Vergil nodded "And how would the parents of those children react to the fact that their children disappeared? Have you ever thought about that?"

Cold "Like I said…the cause transcends the lives of others."

Vergil "Perhaps your cause. My cause is to protect mankind with the power I've attained and now you are a threat to my cause…"

Cold's eyes widened and said "So…you're going to kill me now?"

Vergil glared at Cold and said "I don't kill…I punish." And he threw Cold's sword towards him and said "You will have your chance."

Cold immediately caught his sword and rushed towards Vergil, who was still sitting behind his desk. He raised his sword and swung it down. The sword obliterated the desk but Vergil already jumped away. Vergil slowly unsheathed Yamato and said "It's time to do this. We won't get interrupted because my brother already took care of your guards."

Cold "Your brother?"

Vergil "You heard about him. He's called Dante. A bit hyper-active and annoying at times but he has his purposes."

Cold looked shocked but suddenly he smirked "I wouldn't count on that. It's true he took care of the guards but before I got here I made a small detour and alarmed the fighters. They are on their way to the children."

Vergil "I'm not too concerned. I'm sure Dante and my other accomplice would take care of him."

Cold "That silver haired brat that came here earlier is your accomplice?"

Vergil "Yes and he is a lot stronger than you might think. And they have the help of your other prisoner. That woman."

Cold "You fool! She's a demon! The Order said it to me!"

Vergil "No…she isn't. I would know that and she isn't a demon. Now, are we going to talk all night or are you ready to fight?"

With Naruto

Naruto and Yugito freed the children who weren't given the potion. They were ready to free the other children when Dante joined them.

Naruto said "Have you taken out the guards Dante?"

Dante nodded and said "They're all tied up in the supply room. Are these all the children? By the way, I believe this is yours." And he tossed Repent to Naruto.

Naruto started to shake his head "No…the others ones are in that tent and someone is giving them some sort of antidote…"

Dante nodded again and he saw Yugito and asked "Who is that?"

Naruto "That's Yugito…she is also a jinchuuriki."

Dante "Alright…let's get to it."

Naruto turned around and said to Yugito "Would you mind if you take care of the children while I and Dante go into that tent?"

Yugito started to shake her head and said "I don't mind."

Naruto and Dante went into the tent and saw a man in a white coat who was giving children injections. The man quickly turned around and said "Are you with that other man?"

Naruto nodded and said "We're just checking up on you."

The man said "I just need to inject 6 children before…"

Suddenly the three people heard noises outside. Naruto said "Dante…you took out the guards right?"

Dante nodded "I'm sure of it."

Naruto said to the man in the white coat "Just inject the remaining children with the antidote while I and Dante protect this tent."

The man nodded and Naruto and Dante went outside. They saw a group of man who were holding swords. Dante said "Darn…I haven't seen these people."

Naruto "Perhaps they are the ones who act when the camp is attacked. Are you ready to go?"

Dante smirked "I'm always ready for a spicy tango."

Naruto said "Okay…then let's go." And he took Repent from his back while Dante got Rebellion. Naruto shouted to the children "Stay behind Yugito. You will be back with your parents in no time."

Dante and Naruto rushed towards the group and started the battle. Although the group was trained in the art of sword fighting, it wasn't enough to stop Dante and Naruto.

Naruto parried an attack from one opponent and someone else saw his chance and tried to stab Naruto from the side. With his free hand, Naruto diverted the attack towards an enemy and before the man could free his sword from his comrade's body, Naruto cut off his arm.

Dante was fighting three guys at once, parrying every strike that was aimed at him. While the three guys were fighting with all of their skills and might, Dante said "Come on…that's it. You really should work on your teamwork…come on work harder…yes…oh, close one."

One of them got mad and with a mighty swing he tried to decapitate Dante. Dante ducked and because of the momentum the man couldn't stop and accidently decapitated one of his teammates.

Dante looked at the man and said "Look what you've done…that's no way to treat your teammates. Remember, always keep your cool while you are in a duel."

The man grinded with his teeth and said "You miserable bastard…I'll kill you!"

Dante smirked and said "That's the spirit…come on."

2 guys tried to take out Yugito to recapture the children. Although she had more trouble than Naruto and Dante, she was able to fend the two enemies off. She suddenly threw the sword into the chest of the man and she started to make hand signs and said Lightning style: False darkness and suddenly a spear of lightning pierced the chest of the other enemy.

In the end only two remained alive, one of them was the one whose arm got cut off. They saw how quickly the rest got defeated and while the other one supported the other, they ran away as fast as their legs could take them.

The man in the white coat took a glance outside and what he saw shocked him. A lot of the fighters were dead and he looked at Naruto and he thought He is so young and yet…he killed those people without any hesitation…exactly the kind of child the Order wants to create.

Naruto's voice returned the man back to reality. Naruto asked "Is the rest ready?"

The man nodded and said "Yes, although they are a bit dazed at the moment…a side effect of the antidote."

Naruto nodded and said "Let's collect Vergil…"

Suddenly all of the people heard the sound of a horn and Naruto rushed to the watchtower. He saw a pretty big group of people, all dressed in the armor of the Order of Light. Naruto yelled to Dante "Dante…get Yugito, that doctor and the children out of here. I will collect Vergil."

Dante "What's the rush?"

Naruto "An army of soldiers from the Order of Light…around thirty of them!"

Dante nodded and he turned around and said "You heard him…let's move!"

The group left and Naruto rushed towards the tent of Cold…

With Vergil

Cold fell down and his sword fell a few meters away from him. He looked up at Vergil and said "Make it quick."

Vergil pointed his sword at Cold's chest with a cold expression in his eyes. Suddenly the tent opened and Vergil heard Naruto's voice saying "Vergil, it's time to go…there is an army coming…all in white armors with red crosses on them."

Vergil got Yamato and sheathed it and he said "You're lucky Cold. Perhaps you can see this as a second chance. I advise you take it and maybe one day I can look at you without getting sick."

And suddenly he and Naruto disappeared.

The army arrived ten minutes later and one of them said "Lord Cold? Are you alright?"

Cold slowly got up and said "Aside from a few scratches and bruises I'm fine."

The man asked "Who were the ones that infiltrated here?"

Cold said "That's not important. I need to go to the masters."

The man said "They are not available right now."

Cold grabbed the man by the collar and said "You're forgetting that I'm not a soldier that simply follows orders!"

The man said "Sorry…forgot about that. I'll send a group of scouts after the fugitives."

Cold said "Don't bother. Even if your scouts find them, they won't live long enough to give you a message."

And Cold walked out of the tent, leaving a stunned soldier behind.

In the nearby forest

The group was walking in a pretty fast pace. Vergil suddenly gave the order to stop and everyone did. Vergil looked behind him and said "We're not being followed…that's good. Dante, can you borrow me your map."

Dante looked surprised but then he said "Sure."

Vergil looked at the map and pointed towards something and asked "Do you know what this is Dante?"

Dante nodded "It's an old refuge. There was a crisis in the past and fugitives from Ouzuki town build it."

Vergil seemed to think and then nodded "You take care of the children…I'll have to check something out. We'll meet at Ouzuki town." And he looked at the man in the white coat. Vergil suddenly disappeared.

Naruto looked at Dante "What's that all about?"

Dante shrugged "He's a strange guy but if we don't do what he says he's going to have one of his periods so let's just move on."

Naruto "What if he needs help?"

Dante looked amused at Naruto and said "Don't worry about him…Vergil is a big boy."

Dante turned to the children "Alright troops…move out and follow the nice woman."

It took another hour before the group reached Ouzuki town. When they reached it they saw the man who contacted Vergil for this mission. The man looked to the group and soon he found the one he was looking for.

A small child ran away from the group and rushed at the man. Dante walked towards the man and said "I didn't suspect you would be here."

The man smirked and said "Well…I had no choice. My boss told me to pick her up. She is going to live with us for a while."

Dante "Why not her…" Dante stopped his sentence when he saw the sad look on the man's face.

Suddenly the man looked at the end of the street. Dante started to look in the same direction and he saw Vergil walking towards them, while he was leading a woman and a small child with him.

The man in the white coat started to run towards them and suddenly Dante understood why Vergil had to leave them. The man in the white coat was probably blackmailed to work for the Order of Light.

Vergil joined up with Dante and his contact person and Vergil said "We've succeeded the mission."

The man nodded and from the inside of his pocket he got a check and handed it to Vergil. Vergil nodded and said "This mission was more dangerous than the last. Next time, if something like this occurs, I expect more money."

The man nodded "I understand and I think my boss will understand it too. With this check my boss also sends his gratitude. He also wanted me to ask who the culprits were."

Vergil said "The Order of Light."

The man nodded and said "Just as we suspected. I will tell him…they won't be able to continue these kind of operations any longer."

Vergil "Let's hope so."

30 minutes later

Naruto was watching at the rising sun. Dante sat next to him and he said "You're awfully quiet."

Naruto "I'm just thinking."

Dante "About the Order of Light?"

Naruto "Among other things. When we were fighting…I obviously heard a voice that someone was trying to stab me from the side."

Dante "Perhaps your instincts."

Naruto started to shake his head "No…it wasn't my voice I heard. It sounded a lot like…Itachi."

Dante looked at Naruto "Don't tell me you're falling in love with your teacher…then you can better have that Yugito person."

Naruto "No…it's not like that…I simply heard it."

Dante looked more serious "Perhaps…it was him. Perhaps it's an effect of that technique you used. You should contact Itachi when you reach Konoha again."

Naruto "Perhaps I should."

Suddenly both of them heard footsteps behind them. It was Yugito. She was still in the village because she needed some clothes because her usual clothes were nothing more than rags. Yugito said "Well…I'm going back to my home village. I just wanted to thank both of you for rescuing me."

Naruto "Don't worry about it…just take care when you are back. Perhaps I will see you in the future."

Yugito smirked "Perhaps. Anyway I will tell the Raikage what happened here and knowing him…well let's just say the Order of Light wouldn't see you as their most frightful enemies anymore."

Dante "Good…it became time the Order gets a good spanking."

Yugito grinded her teeth "I'm happy when the time comes."

Naruto got up and stretched out his hand "Have a good journey home and watch out."

Yugito took Naruto's hand and said "I will…you guys too."

And Yugito turned around and left. Naruto turned to Dante and said "Shall we leave as well?"

Dante nodded and said "You still need to prepare for the chunin exams and don't forget to turn back to the form people know or else you'll get into trouble."

Naruto laughed and turned back and he said "First we have to find Vergil. Who knows what he will do to us when we forget about him."

They started to walk towards Vergil and Naruto said "Hey Vergil…it's time to go."

Vergil looked back and nodded. He walked towards a villager and he said "There are a few bodies in the old refuge…"

The villager nodded and said "Don't worry…we'll bury them."

Vergil nodded and left together with Naruto and Dante, while they were waved off by some happy villagers.

In the headquarters of The Order of Light

Cold was standing in a dark room. The leaders resided here. A dark ominous voice spoke "You want something Cold?"

Cold nodded and he said "I heard many disturbing things while I was leading the last project."

The voice said "What disturbing things?"

Cold said "Someone told me that the Order kidnapped a scientist and that scientist created potions to make the abducted children some sort of super assassins."

The voice remained silent and then it said "That is correct."

Cold startled and said "Why wasn't I informed about this?"

The voice said "It wasn't relevant. We needed those children to turn the balance into our favor. We must win the coming war against the demons."

Cold said "If I knew that this would happen I would never agree to lead the project."

The voice said "That's why we didn't tell you. Now that you are here…tell us…who is responsible for the escape of our future prospects?"

Cold "I only say the one called Slayer who calls himself Vergil now. He mentioned something about his brother and he brought in a child with silver hair that was with him as well."

The voice hissed and said "So they meddled in our cause again. Vergil's brother is Dante."

Cold "You mean THE Dante? The one who killed more demons than your entire elite faction?"

The voice said "That is correct. He and Vergil are untouchable right now because they live in Konoha right now. Starting a feud against Konoha would severely weaken us…or even destroy us. Is that all you wanted to ask?"

Cold's eyes became thin lines and he said "Yes…I know enough now." And he turned around and left the room.

Another voice spoke "Will he remain loyal to us?"

The voice who spoke to Cold said "I doubt it but it doesn't matter. As soon as he fulfilled his purpose we will get rid of him."

Another, high shrieked voice said "What are we going to do against Dante and Vergil? They are a thorn in our side."

The main voice said "We can't do anything against them…for the time being. But perhaps we can use their extraordinary capabilities to our advantage."

The next morning in Konoha

Itachi woke up. He sat up and thought What a strange dream…I dreamed about Vergil, Dante and another blond woman…very strange indeed.

Itachi got up, got dressed and went downstairs. Sasuke was already up and he said "It became time you woke up…it's 7 o'clock already."

Itachi mumbled "Sorry…didn't sleep well."

Sasuke nodded and said "I know…you were grunting in your sleep so I checked up on you and you didn't look peaceful to say the least."

Itachi looked thoughtful and said "Do you mind if you train by yourself today? I have a strange feeling Naruto is coming back today."

Sasuke looked up "Sure but why do you think that?"

Itachi "Just a feeling."

Sasuke stretched himself out and said "It became time he came back…this village is getting boring without him."

Itachi nodded and he said "He is quite lively yes."

Sasuke "I'm still wondering…what's up with you and Naruto? I mean…I know something is up."

Itachi sighed and he said "I would love to explain but…it isn't my secret to tell. It's Naruto's."

Sasuke sighed "I really should ask him myself…because the only thing I know is that Naruto is somehow connected to your new secret."

Itachi smiled "You should but for now you should train or else I'm increasing the difficulty of your training."

Sasuke suddenly started to shutter and rushed out of the house. Itachi stretched out his body but suddenly a hard sound was heard. He looks at his clothes and saw that it was torn. Itachi thought Darn…and I love these clothes…perhaps it's time to get some new clothes.

And Itachi walked out of the door.

With Naruto

Naruto, Dante and Vergil finally returned to Konoha. Naruto said "After a mission I love the sight of these gates."

Dante smiled and said "I always had the same feeling when I returned to my office."

Vergil just stood there and said "Let's keep moving."

The group went to the Namikaze estate and Kushina was waiting for them. Naruto looked surprised and he said "Why is my mother waiting outside? I left a note so I don't think that's the reason."

Dante "Perhaps she prepared some dinner for you."

Naruto started to shake his head "No…or else I would have smelled it by now."

Vergil "You will find out when we reach the front door so stop this useless speculating."

Dante sighed and the group kept on walking. Naruto said "Hi mom…what are you waiting for?"

Kushina "I was waiting for you to return."

Naruto "Why?"

Kushina sighed and said "Itachi is waiting for you in the living room. I told him that you were still away but he said "Do you mind if I wait in the living room? They will be back soon."

Naruto looked surprised "He really said that?"

Kushina nodded and she said "You should see him…it looked urgent."

Naruto nodded and went inside of the house. He saw Itachi although Naruto barely recognized him. His physique changed a bit and he was wearing a new set of clothes! He was wearing black pant and sandals, a plain grey shirt and a black vest with a pattern of a crow on the back.

Naruto looked stunned and he said "Itachi?"

Itachi nodded and he saw that Naruto was looking at his clothes and Itachi explained "My old uniform started to tear so I bought some new clothes."

Naruto nodded and he asked "So why did you want to see me?"

Itachi smiled and answered "Actually for two things. This question might sound strange but I need to know…on your mission last night…did you meet a blond woman that is a jinchuuriki?"

Naruto looked surprised and he said "Yes that's right…how do you know about her?"

Itachi "Last night…I had a strange dream. It was like I was being dragged into a camp like a prisoner…but it wasn't me because I couldn't move my limbs."

Naruto "Now that's strange…so it was you who said that I had to look out for the guy who was attacking me from the side?"

Itachi seemed to think and he said "Yes that's right."

Naruto seemed to think "Perhaps this is an effect of the technique I used…the book we read about the technique did mention something like a connection."

Itachi nodded and he said "We will figure it out in time."

Naruto smiled "Indeed…so what is your next question?"

Itachi "It's about Sasuke…he is getting suspicious."

Naruto sighed and he said "We that's understandable. You two live together so he must know when something is different and he will figure it out eventually."

Itachi "Indeed and I'm running out of excuses."

Naruto shrugged and he said "Then why don't you tell him the truth?"

Itachi "I would have done so but I wanted your permission first…"

Naruto "Very considerate of you. You should tell him. How is Sasuke by the way? Is he still bothered by…" and Naruto pointed towards his neck where Sasuke had the curse seal.

Itachi said "Not too much…only sometimes in training he looked distracted…like he is listening to something. But the protective seal is holding out."

Naruto smiled and he said "Good. You should ask him what he is listening to when that happens."

Itachi "Perhaps I will. You on the other hand should continue your training as well. It won't be long before the final phase of the chunin exams take place."

Naruto smiled "Don't worry…I'll be fine. I've been training well and my mother has a book downstairs that show some good strategies when fighting a Byakugan wielder and Jiraiya also has some good strategies."

Itachi nodded "That's good. Then I will be on my way."

Naruto put his hand up and said "Take care."

Itachi nodded and he was ready to leave the house but he suddenly bumped against Dante. Dante looked surprised and he said "Well well…from model ninja to badass in just a few days. Naruto should perform that technique on other people as well."

Itachi looked at Dante and he said "How have you been Dante?"

Dante smirked "Still…it didn't affect your character. I'm alright. How are you?"

Itachi "I'm alright…I just needed to discuss something with Naruto."

Dante nodded and Itachi suddenly said "What's underneath this floor?"

Dante suddenly looked serious and he asked "Why do you ask?"

Itachi "Nothing in particular…I just hear a buzzing sound and it looks like it's coming from beneath the ground."

Dante relaxed and he said "That's just the vault of the house where Naruto's father held his most prized possessions."

Itachi nodded and he left the house, while Dante kept looking at him with a suspicious glare in his eyes.

Dante walked to the living room and dropped on the sofa. Suddenly he said "Your sensei is sensing devil arms."

Naruto suddenly looked interested and he said "He is sensing devil arms? I thought only demons and devils were capable of that."

Dante "Well…he explains it as a buzzing sound but I'm sure he is sensing them. It's either that or Agni and Rudra are fitting again."

Naruto chuckled because he know that Dante's devil arms, Agni and Rudra, drove him insane something…especially when they were talking about food.

Dante asked "What was his reason to visit you?"

Naruto "He dreamed about our mission last night and it was indeed his voice that warned me from the guy that wanted to attack me from the side."

Dante nodded and he said "Probably an effect of the technique you used. Just keep a close eye on him. It isn't the first time that someone taste a little bit of power and get drunk because of it."

Naruto started to shake his head "I think Itachi isn't the kind of person who would let that happen."

Dante "Power can even ruin the most noble of characters."

With Sasuke

Sasuke was training in an open field. He was busy with some certain jutsu. While he was busy he suddenly heard someone saying softly "Sasuke."

Sasuke suddenly stopped and looked around. He saw nothing more than grass that gracefully moved because of the wind.

Sasuke started to shake his head and he wanted to concentrate on the jutsu again but once again he heard the voice again "Sassssuuukkkeee."

Sasuke looked around again and he said "Who's there?"

Suddenly it looked like it went darker and just for a second he saw himself…only it wasn't himself. It looked precisely like him and it was dressed like him but his expression was completely different. It was a mixture of insanity, evil and uncontrollable bloodlust. As soon as the image appeared it started to disappear.

Sasuke got a strange feeling in his stomach and his curse mark was throbbing and a dark laugh filled the area…

The next day

Jiraiya fell down on his knees. A few sweat drops fell on the floor. Jiraiya was panting and he said "Let's take a break."

Naruto smiled and said "But I still have enough energy to go another round."

Jiraiya laughed and he said "The youth these days…you are forgetting that I am an old man."

Naruto "Yeah right…fine…let's take a break so you can take care of those rusty bones of yours."

Jiraiya sat down and Naruto sat next to him. Naruto was looking in front of him and he said "Jiraiya…may I ask you something?"

Jiraiya looked at Naruto and said "Sure…"

Naruto "My father…what kind of man was he?"

Jiraiya "You should know already…your mother could tell you a lot more than me."

Naruto "I know but I asked her once and suddenly she looked very sad and an awkward silence appeared between us."

Jiraiya "She misses him and that's understandable. Well…what is the best way to describe your father…he was a very calm person, unlike your mother. One thing, he did have a lot of guts and he was extremely stubborn. No matter how big a task was, he took it and wouldn't rest until it was complete. Take that rasengan you've learned…it took him four years to complete that. But the one thing that made him a great man is that he followed his heart."

Naruto nodded and he said "I think I understand."

Jiraiya smiled "I see him when I look at you. You really look a lot like him…although your hairstyle is different…but you have the temper of your mother."

Naruto sighed "I know…Kakashi told me that a lot of times. "

Jiraiya laughed "Of course…although you may not be aware of it…Kakashi looks out for you mother, even if you are here."

Naruto suddenly looked interested "Why?"

Jiraiya shrugged and he said "Who knows? Perhaps he sees it as his responsibility since your father died. That's also the reason why he looked out for you before Dante took you away from Konoha."

Naruto nodded "I see…well thanks for the information…let's continue training…I want to be somewhere tonight."

Jiraiya looked at Naruto "Another date with that pretty girlfriend of yours?"

Naruto laughed "No not a date with Haku…I want to find out something."

Later that day

Itachi joined Sasuke on his training session today. The day before they barely saw or spoke to each other. Before the training started Itachi said "Sasuke…I need to speak to you…about Naruto."

Sasuke nodded and he said "You're finally going to tell me what's going on?"

Itachi nodded "Well…this might sound weird but…Naruto…isn't completely human."

Sasuke looked strange and he said "Not completely human?"

Itachi nodded "Naruto is half devil."

Sasuke "Half devil? You mean that he is a half breed of the things we are fighting?"

Itachi started to shake his head and he said "No…those are demons. Devils are a higher form of demons…you can compare them as Neanderthals and humans. Devils are smarter, stronger and they have much more potential than demons."

Sasuke "I knew something was strange with him but this….I would have never suspected it."

Itachi nodded "I know…I found it strange as well. But to continue…for quite some time now I've been seriously sick. I went to a doctor in Tanzuku town and he said that it was terminal."

Sasuke "WHAT!"

Itachi gave Sasuke a sign to be quiet and he said "Before I ended up in the hospital I was with Naruto to check up on his training…and I collapsed because of my illness. Naruto performed some sort of technique on me that was very dangerous. My illness is gone but next to that some others things started to happen…that's the reason why I needed to see Naruto a couple of times."

Sasuke "But why didn't you tell me something about your illness!"

Itachi smiled "Perhaps…I wanted to prevent you from worrying."

Sasuke "So is that technique that Naruto performed the reason why you are suddenly…"

Itachi nodded "Yes…that's the reason my body changed. During that technique my blood mixed with some devil blood and the devil blood is modifying my body. But we still don't know what other effects it has."

Itachi remained silent after that so that Sasuke could process the information he just heard and he said "Well…it's good you told me. I should thank Naruto when I see him again."

Itachi nodded and Sasuke continued "You're all I got in this world and losing you…well…"

Itachi nodded again and he said "I feel the same way."

At night

It was quiet in Konoha. The shops closed a long time ago and most people were already sleeping. Konoha was bathing in the light of the full moon that stood high in the sky.

Somewhere, on a roof, looked over the town. His mind took him somewhere in the past. He looked up at the moon and the wind softly played with his hair. It was a very peaceful night indeed.

In this silence the boy suddenly heard a voice "Are you thinking about the next round of the chunin exams Gaara?"

Gaara looked back and he saw Naruto. Gaara said "No…I'm thinking about myself."

Naruto sat down next to Gaara and he said "In what way?"

Gaara "Since recently I only thought that my purpose for living was killing others to prove my existence…only since I met you I'm starting to doubt my vision."

Naruto smiled "That's a good thing. It's harder to live with something than eliminating it, but the result is way more satisfying."

Gaara "What is your purpose? What makes you choose this ninja path filled with dangers and enemies?"

Naruto shrugged "There are a lot of reasons…somehow…deep inside…I feel like I belong here…between the humans and demons…to make a difference, to save lives."

Gaara "Than your purpose has a flaw…that means you must kill humans as well."

Naruto "If it's necessary to save other innocent lives I will. Some people won't find redemption until they are dead. I only kill when someone or something deserves it…not to prove my existence or because I enjoy it."

Gaara got a thoughtful look on his face "Perhaps…your purpose isn't so bad."

Naruto nodded and both Naruto and Gaara looked at the moon. Suddenly, without a reason, Gaara said "The sand and sound village will attack Konoha during the chunin exams."

Naruto suddenly looked surprised at Gaara and he said "Really? Why?"

Gaara "Because my father said so. Our village isn't as rich and prospering as Konoha and together with the Sound Village they believe that they can conquer Konoha by surprise and that they can increase the prosperity of the village by getting more ninja missions."

Naruto nodded and he said "And why are you telling me this? I am a ninja from Konoha you know."

Gaara nodded and he said "I don't…exactly know…I said it without thinking."

Naruto "Perhaps something inside of you knows that it is wrong. Do you know when it will start?"

Gaara started to shake his head and he said "I don't know…I only know my part…transform fully into the Shukaku and wreak havoc."

Naruto nodded and he said "Perhaps…I can talk to the Hokage and tell him about this….perhaps we can save a lot of lives now that we know this."

Gaara nodded and suddenly Naruto looked the other way and he said "Something is coming."

One minute later Dosu suddenly appeared. He saw Gaara and Naruto together and Dosu said "So…that Uzumaki kid and Gaara together…that's good. Now I can eliminate both of you."

Naruto "Why? You can have your chance during the chunin exams."

Dosu chuckled and he said "I want to fight Sasuke and eliminating both of you increases my chances."

Gaara growled and he said "I don't know why…but the full moon always make my blood boil. Does he fall under the category that should be killed?"

Naruto nodded "As far as I know he is a puppet that follows Orochimaru's orders…and that he is trying to kill us outside of the ring makes him beyond saving…so be my guest to satisfy your bloodlust."

Suddenly sand appeared and it developed Gaara until he became a small Shukaku. A huge claw of sand appeared and it rushed its way towards Dosu, whose eyes became wider when he saw the terrifying scene. The sand devoured Dosu completely.

Gaara returned back to his original form and Naruto whistled "Very impressive. Oh by the way…the main reason that I came here is because a friend of my maybe found a reason to cure your little problem with the Shukaku."

Gaara turned around and he said "Really?"

Naruto nodded "He and another friend only translated the first part of the text but that text is certainly about Shukaku. I'll let you know when they find something to cure that insomnia of yours."

And Naruto let himself fall of the roof. Gaara rushed to the edge and looked down but Naruto was gone.

A little bit away Baki and Kabuto were talking. Kabuto said "So that's Gaara's true form."

Baki nodded "The miniature version…yes."

Kabuto "What about that blond kid? Can he pose a problem to our plans with Gaara?"

Baki started to shake his head "Gaara is a pure killing machine, who would eliminate someone without a second thought."

Kabuto smiled "Than that's good. Orochimaru is very interested in that kid…perhaps we can capture him alive during the assault on Konoha."

Baki "What you people from the sound village want is your business…as long as you keep your end of the deal. Did you bring the plans?"

Kabuto handed Baki a scroll and he said "Here…everything that you need to know is written in this scroll. Now we only need to take care of one matter."

Baki "And that is?"

Kabuto "To take down the fly that is spying on us."

Suddenly a dark shadow jumped away and Kabuto said "Should I take care of him?"

Baki said "No…I will…to prove our loyalty to the plan." And suddenly Baki disappeared.

Kabuto smiled and he wanted to turn around but suddenly he heard a familiar voice "Really…I'm surprised that you humans never fall out of character."

Kabuto said "What are you doing here Orion?"

Orion chuckled and he said "I still haven't figured out how this human world works so I followed you people here."

Kabuto shrugged "That is your business."

Orion suddenly looked serious and he said "I foresee some hard fights in the future…not only against humans but also against other forces…we must be ready."

Kabuto "What other forces?"

Orion "You will find out in time…did you find anything out about that child that caught Orochimaru's interest?"

Kabuto started to shake his head "He's like a ghost…no records, no past and no traces."

Orion chuckled "These are the things that make life interesting. I think I will go to my home base and ask around there. I will return shortly."

And suddenly Orion caught flame and disappeared. Kabuto growled and said "That guy really bugs me."

Somewhere else in Konoha

In the training field someone was training. It was Neji. He was sharpening his gentle fist style on a wooden puppet. Suddenly he heard a noise behind him and he saw Gai.

Gai looked at Neji and he said "You're still up I see."

Neji nodded and he said "Yes."

Neji returned to his training and during the training he said "How's Lee?"

Gai sighed and he said "It doesn't look good…the doctors say that there is little chance that he will recover completely."

Neji "He should've been more careful."

Gai nodded and he said "I know…that is also the reason why I am here. Be very careful when you are fighting that Naruto."

Neji stopped his training and looked at Gai and he said "You think I can't beat him?"

Gai "I am simply saying you should be careful. He played around with Kiba and he didn't look too pleased with you when you tried to kill Hinata."

Neji "Beating Kiba isn't a big accomplishment…I could've done the same."

Gai shrugged and he said "Just be careful…since the moment I saw Naruto I knew he isn't the average fighter."

Neji went back to training and he said "I will beat him…it's my destiny."

Gai sighed because he knew that there was no way to convince Neji of Naruto's abilities and he said "I really hope so…I have a feeling you need to go all out if you want to beat him."

And Gai turned around and left, leaving a thinking Neji behind…

Flash forward

The village of Konoha was full of life. Finally the day of the chunin exams arrived. Everyone went to the stadium and they were ready to see some great fights and speculating who would win.

While the group of finalists were presented, some people were taking bets in a room specially designed for this purpose.

Some people were talking. One said "I think I'm going to bet 500 on that Hyuuga kid. That kid is a genius."

Another one said "Yeah really and the kid he is fighting is unknown so that means that he isn't much!"

The third one said "Indeed…I'm placing 2000 on Hyuuga and the rest of my money goes to Sasuke Uchiha. He's come a long way and I think he will be just as good as his older brother, Itachi."

Three men and three women entered the room. The first one in a red outfit said "I bet 1000 on Naruto Uzumaki."

The second one in a blue, similar outfit said "I place 75.000 on Uzumaki."

The third man said "Yo mister bookmaker…500 on Uzumaki"

The first woman, who was dressed in leather said "1000 on Uzumaki."

The other two women placed the same bets. One of the men who were talking before said "You people made the biggest mistake of your life! There is no way that Uzumaki kid is going to beat that Hyuuga!"

The man in the red outfit (you people probably figured out its Dante) said "I feel lucky today."

Kushina said "And I bet on him because he is my son."

The man laughed and he said "He could even be the son of the fourth hokage if I care (AN: Sarcastic remark for the ones who doesn't figure it out), he doesn't stand a chance…he will be a loser in this match."

Before anyone could react, Kushina punched the man in the face and he flew right into the wall and Kushina cried out "No one talks about my son like that bastard!"

The rest of the men looked terrified and one was even so scared that he put all of his money on Naruto. The group left the room while the rest tried to wake up the unconscious man.

The group went to the stands and they saw Maya sitting there. It was Haku who said "Hi Maya…are you here to cheer for Naruto as well?"

Maya nodded and she said "You got it…so you are here to cheer for your boyfriend…that's good. From all the conversation I heard he's going to need it."

Dante shrugged "Nah…he's ready to take him on."

Vergil "As long as he doesn't play with him too long just like he did with that child that looked like a dog. People who are driven in corners can make strange decisions."

With Naruto

Naruto was standing in the middle of the stadium. He was standing between Ino and Sasuke. Naruto said "I really don't like it to stand here. I hate to be the center of attention."

Ino "Somehow I like it…I certainly don't mind it…what about you Sasuke?"

Sasuke shrugged and he said "It has to be done. I wonder where your opponent is Ino. I don't see him here."

Ino looked around and she said "You're right…he isn't here."

Naruto shrugged and with a sly smile he said "Too bad Ino…that means you earn an easy victory. I wonder what happened to that guy."

Sasuke wanted to give a remark but the proctor said "Participants…walk towards the opening from the left of you. The first two combatants are Neji Hyuuga and Naruto Uzumaki. You will be announced when everything is in place."

All participants nodded and they started to walk towards the opening in the wall. They went up the stairs and eventually they ended up at a balcony with a good view on the battlefield.

Naruto glared to the side and he saw Neji. Neji looked right at him and Naruto looked back with a dangerous light in his eyes. Neji started to shudder and moved his gaze away.

With the third Hokage

There was a special place for the important people. It was a small balcony, specially reserved for the Hokage and the Kazekage. They were looking around in the stadium and the Kazekage said "Lord Hokage…I have a proposal for you."

The Hokage looked at the Kazekage and said "What is it?"

The Kazekage smiled "What do you think about making Gaara and Sasuke the main event for this part of the finals. It's a very anticipated matchup."

The Hokage seemed to think and he said "I don't see why not…the prodigy of you village against the prodigy of my village."

The Kazekage nodded and he said "Indeed…although I heard that someone else is promising as well. My daughter Temari told me about a blond kid called Naruto or something."

The Hokage smiled. He could clearly see that the Kazekage was trying to pry information out of him and he said "Well your daughter is right…Naruto is very promising indeed."

The Kazekage looked like he wanted to continue on the subject but suddenly he looked in front of him, probably because the proctor was ready to announce the first match. The Hokage looked suspiciously at the Kazekage.

In the meantime the proctor was ready to announce the first match when one of the Hokage's bodyguards appeared and whispered something in his ear. The proctor nodded and he started "I have a public announcement…the match between Gaara of the Sand and Sasuke Uchiha will be the last match of the first round."

Some people cheered and some people started to boo but the proctor already continued "And now it's time to resume the chunin exams. The first matchup is Neji Hyuuga versus Naruto Uzumaki!"

Neji turned around and took the stairs. Naruto took of his trench coat. Ino was surprised because she never saw Naruto without his trench coat. It's the first time that she saw that Naruto was pretty muscular. And while Naruto buckled Repent on his back he said "Take care of my coat will you? I don't need it this match."

Ino nodded "Sure."

Naruto suddenly jumped from the balcony and landed in the arena on his feet. Naruto slowly walked to the center and waited for Neji to arrive.

Dante, who was watching from the stands suddenly said "Uh oh."

Haku looked at Dante and she asked "Uh oh? Why uh oh?"

Kakashi and Itachi, who joined them a little while ago suddenly looked interested at Dante.

Dante "Naruto took off his coat."

Haku "Yeah so? Perhaps it gets in his way in this fight."

Dante started to shake his head and he said "You don't get it….when Naruto takes off his coat it means that he is about to get serious…trust me….you don't want to see that."

Vergil "Actually…I would like to see that. I hope he rips that guy's head off."

Dante gave Vergil a disapproving look and Vergil said "He deserves it…he wanted to kill that girl, his niece on top of that, in the preliminary rounds while she wasn't able to defend herself anymore."

Dante shrugged "Well he deserves a beating but not that his head gets pulled off."

Kakashi said "I'm getting a little bit excited…perhaps I will see Naruto on full force today. What do you say Itachi?"

Itachi started to shake his head and he said "I think Naruto will only as much force as he needs to eliminate Neji from the competition."

Dante "Just watch and see…they are about to begin."

The proctor stood between Neji and Naruto and he said "You people know the rules…when someone is unable to move or gives up the match is over. When I feel if someone is in mortal danger I will step in and declare a winner. Understood."

Naruto said with a deeper voice than normal "We know the rules…just start the match."

The proctor nodded and he jumped back and said "Begin."

Both Neji and Naruto got into fighting positions. Suddenly, without a warning, Naruto disappeared and appeared behind Neji and he was ready to strike. Neji held is arm up to block the attack and Naruto hit the arm with full force.

Neji suddenly pulled a painful face and he jumped away. He was looking at his arm and he thought That was a lot of power...my entire arm is numb.

Naruto rushed towards Neji and he tried to kick him but Neji just avoided the kick. Naruto attacked him again, assuring that Neji didn't get any breathing space. Neji did his best to avoid Naruto's attacks although he had a hard time doing so…even with his Byakugan.

Finally he was able to get some distance between him and Naruto. Neji thought I feel that my arm is recovering…I just need to make sure that I hit him right.

Naruto rushed towards Neji again and cocked his fist back to hit Neji full in the face but just before he could launch the attack Neji was able to kick him in the midsection. He tried to follow up with a hit to eliminate one of Naruto's arms but Naruto just avoided the attack and he grabbed Neji's arm and threw him away.

Neji landed on his feet and he was looking at Naruto, trying to figure out what his next attack was. Naruto said "I'm not letting you hit me with your fists. I watched your match against Hinata and I analyzed your gentle fist style. You're not simply trying to punch me…you're trying to block my chakra points."

Neji said "You've got a good theory but…I will hit you eventually and you will lose. It's your destiny to lose from me here today."

Naruto spit on the ground and he said "That's what destiny means to me. I create my own destiny."

Neji "You fool…you cannot fight destiny."

Naruto "If you really believe that you should consider how weak you are. People who are hiding behind a fixed destiny are cowards who don't have the strength to make one themselves."

Neji closed his eyes and he said "And what if your destiny lies in someone else his hands?"

Naruto looked strange and Neji removed his forehead protector and a kind of mark was on his forehead. Neji said "This mark on my forehead ensures the Hyuuga clan that I will remain loyal to them to no end. I can't do anything wrong or else they are going to activate this seal. So this is my destiny…serving the Hyuuga clan until the day that I die. Tell me now that you can't fight destiny."

Naruto closed his eyes and he said "Like I said…you are weak. You're only a slave because you let yourself be enslaved. You always have a choice but you simply accepted your enslavement. If I believed in this destiny crap as you do I would have killed myself a long time ago but I fought against my destiny, made my own one and became stronger because of it. That's why you can't win this fight. At the start of this match I was angry at you because you tried to kill your own family…but now I'm not angry with you anymore…I pity you now."

Neji put on his forehead protector again and he said "So this is how you see me…as a weakling. Let's see if I can change your opinion."

Naruto got Repent off his back and he said "You can't change my mind on the battlefield…you must do that outside…on your own."

Suddenly Naruto started to swing with his sword and although it looked like he hit nothing but air, Neji was trying his best to dodge something invisible. Behind Neji there was a tree and without anyone seeing it, the tree was cut in half and the upper part fell down with a bang.

Neji suddenly saw a chance with dazzling speed he rushed towards Naruto and he kicked him under the chin. Naruto was send flying but he landed on his face. He was rubbing his chin and suddenly he looked more serious and he said "Okay…enough with holding back. It's time to get serious."

At the stands

Both Itachi and Kakashi were looking at the match with their Sharingan and suddenly Kakashi said "Wait…Itachi…are you seeing this?"

Itachi nodded and he said "I can barely believe it!"

Vergil looked more interested and he said "It became time Naruto started to get serious."

Haku saw Dante, Vergil, Kakashi and Itachi looking more interested and she asked "What's the matter with you guys?"

Itachi said "Naruto was kicked under the chin and when he got up his chakra intensified…"

Kakashi finished Itachi's sentence "To the point that our sharingan's only see Naruto and Neji like they are standing in a very thick mist. Naruto's chakra is almost concealing everything."

Haku suddenly looked more interested to the match as well, like she could see how more intense this fight became…

At the Hokage stand

The Hokage was looking at the match and with his instincts he could feel how much chakra Naruto was emitting. The Hokage thought This chakra…it's powerful…dense…it doesn't feel human…is this Naruto's true power?

The Kazekage was looking at Naruto as well and he thought So much power! And this feeling…it's so intriguing…so delightful…

In the battlefield

Neji was looking around. All that he could see was chakra. Neji thought What kind of power is this? Am I under some sort of genjutsu? No…the Byakugan is immune for almost every kind of genjutsu…so…so this is Naruto's true power?

Neji could hear Naruto's voice "I hope you're ready Neji…because I'm ready to finish this fight."

Suddenly Naruto started to make hand signs and his chakra became even more intensifying and in his mind Naruto cried out Devil art: Gilgamesh stream.

Suddenly Neji saw that wind started to come together and vaguely he saw that the wind formed some kind of humanoid creature with four arms. Every hand was holding a blade made out of wind. The humanoid creature started to spin around, faster and faster until it looked like a tornado with swords sticking out of it and it was heading straight to Neji!

Neji ran away from the tornado. He passed two lonely trees. He looked back to see if that jutsu was still following him. He saw that the blade made out of wind cut through the trees like knives through butter.

Neji jumped on the wall and used his chakra control to run up the wall. He turned around and looked down. Huge holes appeared in the wall but the tornado suddenly jumped up. There was no way for Neji to avoid the technique and suddenly he started to spin around and he cried out Rotation!

When the tornado hit the barrier Neji created it disappeared. Although Neji avoided the attack, it took a big chunk out of his chakra. Neji jumped down and he was panting. Suddenly Naruto stretched out his arm and a blue swirling ball appeared in it. Neji's eyes widened because he saw that Naruto used the same technique on Kiba so he knew what kind of damage that thing could do.

Naruto rushed towards Neji and Neji started to spin around again. The blue barrier appeared and Naruto jumped up and when he came down he pushed the ball into the barrier and he cried out Rasengan!

Neji's Rotation and Naruto's Rasengan were in a deadlock but suddenly Naruto chakra became visible and the blue swirling ball turned into a black ball and it went straight through the barrier. Neji immediately stopped his rotation and jumped up to avoid the impact of the rasengan into his body. But when the rasengan hit the ground a huge explosion occurred and the shock was enough to damage Neji's body and clothes while Naruto, strangely enough, remained intact.

Neji fell down and rolled a few feet until he came to a complete stop. He thought Damn I need to get up but I can't.

The proctor could clearly see that Neji wasn't in any condition to get up and he said "Winner of this match: Naruto Uzumaki."

First it remained silent. Almost no one could believe that Naruto was able to defeat Neji but suddenly they burst out in cheers. One man, the man who was so afraid of Kushina that he placed all his bet money on Naruto, looked like he became crazy.

Naruto looked around and he smiled. He walked towards Neji and he said "Try to consider you way of life and destiny and maybe one day I can see you as a equal…or even a friend. You can do because you've earned the title of a genius."

Naruto turned around and left the battlefield while medics entered the field to lift Neji on a stretcher. Naruto walked up to the balcony and got his coat. Ino and Sasuke congratulated him and Naruto said "I'm going to the normal stands or else my mom wouldn't forgive me. I wish both of you good luck with your matches."

Sasuke said "I'm joining you. I'm up last so I've got time."

Naruto nodded and he walked towards the exit of the balcony, but he needed to get past Gaara to get there and he said to Gaara "Good luck on your match Gaara."

Gaara looked at Naruto with a stoic expression on his face and he said "Thanks."

And Naruto went away, leaving a shocked Temari and Kankuro behind. They didn't have the slightest idea what was going on between Gaara and Naruto.

A little bit later Naruto arrived on the stands and his mother, Haku and Maya congratulated him. Dante placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder and he said "Well done. It was a good match. What do you say Vergil?"

Vergil nodded and he said "It was a good battle."

Kakashi and Itachi congratulated Naruto as well and Itachi said "For a minute I was afraid you would kill him."

Naruto made a gesture and he said "That would be a waste. Maybe Neji learns something from this match and perhaps he will be a better person in the future."

Kakashi "Only time will tell. Let's see the rest of the matches."

(AN: I will only write the results…because most of them are storyline fights and I don't want this chapter to become much longer…you'll thank me at the end of the chapter )

Match 2 result: Sai vs. Shino, winner: Shino

Match 3 result: Temari vs. Shikamaru, winner: Temari because Shikamaru forfeited the match because he's a lazy bastard.

Match 4: Dosu vs. Ino, winner: Ino because Dosu forfeited the match by not showing up (probably because he's dead and Orochimaru didn't wanted to resurrect his lazy ass because he is a side character.)

The proctor suddenly said "Now we will commence with the final match…Gaara of the Sand versus Sasuke Uchiha!

Sasuke was ready to move to the arena and Naruto said "Sasuke…wait up…you remember what we talked about?"

Sasuke turned around and he nodded. He moved to the center of the arena and he was standing in front of Gaara. The proctor explained the rules once again and then he stepped back. Gaara said "Are you ready for this Sasuke Uchiha?"

Sasuke looked serious and got into a fighting position. The crowd was looking at the two but suddenly they had a strange feeling. They felt extremely sleepy and they couldn't keep their eyes open. Soon most of the people fell asleep, except a few ninja who were smart enough to dispel the genjutsu.

Temari and Kankuro suddenly appeared in the middle of the arena and they said "Gaara…the operation is starting…are you ready to begin?"

Gaara "Yes…but I have another plan."

Kankuro "What do you mean?"

Gaara "I'm done with this needless operation…it will only take the lives of innocent people."

Temari "To improve our own country…our home! Are you serious about betraying our leader…our father?"

Gaara glared at Temari "Our father? He sees me just like the rest of the villagers…like some monster…like a weapon. I've decided I had enough of it. Now you can either stand by me or against me. What is it going to be?"

Kankuro seemed to be struggling but Temari said "I only took this mission because we're a team and I'm not going to leave you now."

Kankuro sighed and he sighed "I'm not going to leave my family and the odds are in Gaara's favor."

Gaara, Temari, Kankuro and Sasuke heard an explosion and suddenly they saw a black barrier that was surrounding the balcony where the Hokage's were at. Naruto joined them and said "Hey guys…we have a problem."

Sasuke "Yeah I know…the Hokage is unreachable for us now."

Naruto started to shake his head "That's not all of our problems…before that my mother tried to help the Hokage and now she is trapped in there!"

With Kushina

Kushina was just in time to reach the Hokage before the barrier went up. She was standing next to the Hokage, who looked very surprised. He said "Kushina! What are you doing here?"

Kushina smirked "I can't leave an old geezer like you alone now can I?"

Orochimaru "Well well…the late miss Namikaze…what an honor…I didn't suspect you would be in here but…the more the merrier."

Kushina "I will make you swallow those words you filthy snakes."

Orochimaru wiggled his finger in front of him and he said "That isn't the way you should speak…it isn't appropriate…and I have exactly the people who can teach you some etiquette."

Suddenly Orochimaru slammed both his hands on the ground and coffins started to arise from the ground. The third Hokage startled and immediately knew what was going on. Two coffins were already raised and the third was on its way. The Hokage made a hand seal and stopped the third coffin from rising.

The coffins opened and the first and second Hokage stepped out of the coffins. The first Hokage looked around and said "Saru?"

The second Hokage said "Saru…you've grown old."

The third Hokage said "I couldn't stop him…I'm so sorry."

The first Hokage turned around and he saw Orochimaru and he said "So this one brought us back from the dead. Does that mean we have to fight you Saru?"

Orochimaru stepped in and he said "That's enough reminiscing…time to kick things off." And he got two special kunai and placed them INSIDE the heads of the Hokage.

Kushina grinded with her teeth and she said "You monster!"

Orochimaru laughed out loud and he said "No…especially for you I've invited some real monsters Kushina!"

And suddenly some demons appeared out of nowhere. Both Kushina and the third Hokage took a step backwards and the third Hokage said "We're outclassed and outmatched. This is going to be tricky."

Kushina "Tricky…TRICKY! We're going to need a miracle to get out of this alive!"

Both deceased Hokages and the demons were ready to attack while Orochimaru laughed like a madman. One of the demons who was ready to attack, suddenly lunged towards Kushina. Kushina was ready to fend off the demon but suddenly a bright, golden light covered the area and everyone needed to shield their eyes.

With Kakashi

Kakashi, Itachi and Gai were fighting off a lot of enemy ninja. A lot of them were unconscious on the ground. Suddenly Itachi saw that something happening inside the barrier. He saw a bright golden light.

Itachi said "Kakashi…are you seeing this?"

Kakashi "Yes…I wonder what's going on."

Itachi "Me too. Perhaps Dante and Vergil can penetrate that barrier….I think the Hokage needs their help."

Kakashi "They are busy at the moment…they are busy in the city after they brought the ladies to the hospital to take care of the wounded."

Gai "Then we must fight twice…no three times as fast to help the Hokage as soon as we can."

Itachi "You know that fights can't be done faster than possible right?"

Kakashi "Don't go into a discussion with him…he will drive you insane. Trust me, I speak from personal experience."

Gai looked and saw a group coming their way. Gai said "There comes the next load!"

With Naruto, Gaara, Temari and Kankuro

The four people were fighting enemy ninja as well. Naruto suddenly said "Gaara…do you think you and your siblings can take the rest from here?"

Gaara "I think so…why?"

Naruto "I'm going to see what's going on inside the barrier…that bright light made me curious."

Temari "Go for it!"

Naruto turned around and ran away. Naruto encountered a few ninja on his way but Repent took care of them without too much trouble. Finally he reached the roof. A few ANBU were standing in front of the barrier. Naruto looked inside and he saw everyone that were inside and he couldn't believe his eyes….

With Kushina

Kushina was finally able to open her eyes again. Although everything was a bit blurry in the beginning, her sight started to recover quickly. Someone was standing in front of her. His back was turned towards Kushina.

Kushina stood up and she observed the person closely and she stuttered "I..I…Is…"

The man said "You requested a miracle right Kushina?"

---

Mnarutodbz "And I've decided to stop this chapter here."

Kushina "WHY! It was finally getting interesting and I have a big part in this chapter."

Mnarutodbz "Be happy…this means you will also play a big part in the next chapter."

Kushina cried out "But I want to find out who that guy is!"

Mnarutodbz "You will find out soon enough…and so do the readers…if they want to review."

Kushina's eyes widened and she said "Alright…the writer said so….please review so that we can continue with the story!"
