Around Eight In The Morning

A teenager, around the age of sixteen awoke from his slumber and let out a yawn, his long spiky blond hair with red streaks that looked as if it could go down to his waist was a complete and utter mess. His greenish blue eyes glazed over, giving of the feeling that the person was either 'broken' -as some may put it- in some way or could not see, in Uzumaki Naruto's case it was that he couldn't see.

The blond had awoken from a peaceful nights sleep and decided to prepare for the day, getting out of his bed he went over to his wardrobe and pulled out one of his many matching clothing sets and while doing so he couldn't help but become lost in his thoughts.

It had been three years since the blind blond had left Ero-Sennin and a lot of things had changed since then. Sure personality wise the boy hadn't changed to much, he was still the same old hyperactive ramen loving knucklehead but now he had the qualities of a great leader, how couldn't he? He was the leader of a team within Amegakure and the Akatsuki called Yūgure, how did that happen? One day around two years ago Nagato had bought up some important things concerning Amegakure and the fact that it was pretty much closed off to the rest of the world excluding missions, Ame didn't have any proper alliances with any other villages -small or big-, and it wouldn't end well if an S-Rank missing nin from... well anywhere came to form some kind of alliance between any village!

Originally Naruto had suggested that there should be a team within the Akatsuki simply to solve this problem but it had ended up as something much bigger. The blind blond had ended up finding two people to join this team, a girl a couple of years older then him called Fū and a man named Tobi who was somewhere in between the age of twenty and thirty. Both had their own tragic past and Naruto had offered them a place to belong and a little while after the team known as Yūgure was formed. Not only had the group been able to form alliances between Amegakure and other smaller villages, they had also accomplished many A -and sometimes S- rank missions, all three of Yūgure had great strength as well as great teamwork.

The Kyuubi's Jinchuriki let out a sigh as he went to put his shirt on. Shouts of "GET THE HELL BACK HERE TOBI! I'LL MAKE YOU REGRET MESSING WITH MY PUPPETS!" and "EHHHHH~ BUT SASORI-SEMPAI! TOBI IS A GOOD BOY!" The team of three may go by the name of Yūgure but in Amegakure they were also known as something else, 'The Demon Pranksters'.

It was actually quite the fitting title for the three, Fu, Tobi and the blind blond would always prank people in their spare time, it was so much FUN! The three were a lot alike, the most notable of their similarities was their extreme love of ramen and pranks! Naruto had been extremely happy when he had discovered that little fact.

The blind blond took off a hair tie that was around his arm and went to put his hair up into a low ponytail. Yes, so many things had changed, from what everyone had said the blind blond had apparently changed a lot not only in appearance but also in fighting ability. The blind blond had trained extremely hard during the last thee years, so much so that if he wanted to he could probably fight Nagato, the only known Rinnegan user, leader of Amegakure and Akatsuki and also... Naruto's relative! When Naruto had started to train with Itachi, the Sharingan user had wanted to find out what chakra element the blind blond had and that had been an even where a lot of things had been revealed.

Naruto smirked at remembering what had happened, Itachi-Sensei had given him a piece of chakra paper and told him to channel chakra through it, the results had been unexpected. It had turned out that the blind blond had an extremely -that was an understatement- high wind affinity, his affinity for wind had been so high that it shouldn't have even been possible. But that hadn't been the end of it! The blind blond had decided to ask Kurama -the kyuubi- why he had such a high affinity for wind, could it have been because of his ability to bend? Had his bending enhanced his chakra?

As it had turned out, no, that hadn't been the case and the nine tailed fox had known why, it had turned out that Naruto had inherited his mother, Uzumaki Kushina's special chakra, her chakra had not only had the ability to form chains but it could also be used for enhancing ones elemental affinity, and that was what had appeared to have happened. So at that time Kurama had decided that the blind blond should know about his parents, both mother and father, Uzumaki Kushina, the red death and Kurama's former Jinchuriki and Namikaze Minato, the yellow flash and fourth Hokage.

At the time Naruto had been shocked, but the fox still had a couple more things to reveal, the fact that Nagato was also an Uzumaki and that Naruto should have been expecting his hair to start to have some red in it, as a sign of his Uzumaki blood fully 'awakening'. Naruto didn't mind though, he had never given a shit about his appearance anyway.

Well anyway, the blind blond had also completely mastered earthbending to the extent that could also bend both metal and sand, he was pretty good with his wind affinity and chakra chains and he had also been working on the sensor ability Itachi-Sensei had claimed he had. Oh the wonders of the shadow clone jutsu, the blond had known that the user would regain all the clones memories ever since Itachi-Sensei had taught it to him back before he had killed his clan...

Speaking of which, Itachi had told him the truth about the incident and the blind blond had wanted to actually kill Danzo, and that was saying something. Even after all the things the villagers of Konoha had done to him he didn't want to kill anyone, Danzo was pretty much the only person he had ever wanted to kill. Heck! The blond didn't even want to harm Orochi-pedo as much as he wanted to harm Danzo!

Pushing the thoughts of murdering an old war hawk away Naruto put on a head band and even if he couldn't see it he could tell that it had the Amegakure symbol on it, and so -now properly prepared for the day- he opened his room's door and walked down a wide hallway barefoot. Because everyone here knew about his disability and unique ability the blind blond no longer had to wear -those horrible, evil- shoes, that was good because the Jinchuriki was able to 'see' more clearly without them.

The blind blond made his way down the hallway of the tower that all of the Akatsuki lived in, intent on going to the Kitchen to make himself some ramen, perhaps he would also make some ramen for Tobi if he hadn't already eaten breakfast... He could already tell that the other male member of Yūgure was in the kitchen, hiding in a... cupboard?

'Oh, he must be hiding from Sasori...'

Naruto sighed, ever since the blind blond had arrived in Ame the Akatsuki members had all become official Ame ninja -but the other villages did not know this- and Nagato had officially become the leader of the rain village, after that the village had become a lot less gloomy.

The Akatsuki members all lived together on the top floor of the largest tower located in the centre of the village, all of the members had their own room, there was a big kitchen and public bathing area.

Naruto pinched the bridge of his nose as he felt Sasori enter the kitchen, this wouldn't end well for Tobi... Sometimes he wondered how all the members of the Akatsuki put up with each other without going insane. Although, it was quite possible that they had lost it long ago...

"Oh well, time to go save Tobi and make some ramen~"

Finished! Naruto seem to overpowered? I'll try not to make him as strong as The Sage Of Six Paths in strength and plus, in this he has worked for his strength! *mumbles* unlike in the latest manga chapters... Sure! There are a lot of things happening in the manga but still... I can still remember when Naruto first learnt kage bunshin...

I had stated in the last chapters AN that I would Write the events of the three year timeskip and I intend to do it sometime!

the name for Naruto's group?

Akatsuki means Dawn (I think) and so I thought I would call the team something that means the opposite

Yūgure means Dusk, well that's what google translate says. Correct me if I'm wrong?

Alright! I don't intend to make any type of outfit for the members of Yūgure but I have no idea as to what Naruto would wear. *doom* Clothing has always been out of my range of knowledge... Anyone got any suggestions?

Thank you all for the reviews! They are greatly appreciated and are my greatest sorce of motivation and inspiration... Please review! Constructive criticism is welcome and I will also answer any questions one may have about the story!
