Chapter Five: Sounds within the Cloud

Well the voting is going well and it seems like more people want him to become a Sensei but a few have made good arguments about him getting a little wiser and or more experienced before he takes on a team. Well see after this chapter what people think.

Naruto stood in a tree his eyes watching over an academy. He still wasn't sure if he wanted to be a Sensei. Sure it sounded cool but was he ready? Could he do it? would it be safe to do so since Akatsuki were still on his ass. Especially since the four, five, and seven had all been captured. They would be making their move on him, Bee, Gaara, Yugito or Karin really soon here. He figured now that Gaara had the Shukaku under his thumb he would be fine. But Karin was still very new when it came to her Bijuu powers. Making her the ideal target.

"Uzumaki-san," Naruto turned to see a Kumo Jonin looking up at him.

"Hey J-san," Naruto replied.

"Raikage-sama wants to see you," J said before he turned and walked away. Naruto made the ram sign the vanished in a swirl of his red water.

Gaara stood on the roof on the Kazekage's tower as a strange white bird flew overhead. A figure landed on the roof and spoke "Infiltration complete," the figure stopped when he noticed Gaara standing before him.

"Found me already eh?" he asked.

"There are no birds like that in these deserts," Gaara replied as his sand started to flow out of his gourd. The man jumped back and threw a clay spider at the Kazekage. Gaara did nothing as his sand protected him from harm. The spider blew up and the sand moved away showing the blonde man was on the bird once more. Gaara's eyes slowly followed him. Deidara assume the red head was waiting for him to make his move.

"Well I don't want to keep him waiting," Deidara said as he made five clay birds and sent them at the san wielder. Just like the first time the sand blocked the explosion. 'I don't remember anyone saying his sand was black and gold… that's seems like something they should have told me,' Deidara slowed seeing Gaara still hadn't moved.

"Not going to attack?" Deidara asked.

"I did," Gaara replied. Deidara's eyes widened when he felt something starting to squeeze him. he looked to see all the black on his cloak was coated in his black sand.

"Shit!" Deidara roared as he ripped off his cloak just in time to survive as the sand crushed in. Deidara let out a sigh of relief.

"Futon: Kazekiri No Jutsu," Deidara looked to see the wing of his bird was sliced up and a figure appeared on the body.

"Puppet Art: Senbon Hell!" the figure's mouth opened and senbons shot out.

"Fuck!" Deidara growled as he failed to dodge the senbons and crashed into the Kazekage's tower. He looked up only to see black and gold sand encase him 'SHIT! I can't move!'

"Sabaku Kyo," Deidara struggled with all his might but couldn't break free.

"Sabbaku Soso," Gaara clenched his fists and blood erupted from the sand. Just like that Akatsuki was down one member.

Gaara turned his eyes on the entrance to the village. He could see a figure moving away from the gates at quiet a clip. He figured it was the blonde's partner… fleeing now that he or she was alone.

Tsunade sat behind her desk with clenched fists. She was both furious and happy. She was pissed that Naruto wouldn't come home but she understood why and was happy he had found somewhere he was happy. She wanted to have him back… to be able to name him as her successor and to watch him grow up into a fine young man. But it seemed she would never have that.

"Hokage-sama," a voice asked. Tsunade looked up to see Kakashi stepping in.

"What is it Kakashi?" Tsunade asked.

"Here," Kakashi handed her a scroll with the Uzumaki swirl on it. Tsunade didn't hesitate to grab it and open it. She knew it was from Naruto.

Hey Baa-chan

I'm happy here in Kumo so don't beat yourself up. I've mastered my burden and even found something worth fighting for again. I met the two and eight tails containers and they both are cool. Me and Yugito, the two-tails, get food just about every other day. She's really cool and we have a lot in common. Bee he's the eight-tails, is awesome even if he raps all the time. he kicks ass and fights like a monster. Great training. Then there is Karui… she's a real firecracker like Sakura… I can't hang out with her to long… it remind me of you guys and that hurts. And I'm forgetting about Omoi… I swear I found the one person weirder than me… his obsession with candy is kinda creepy… was I that bad with ramen? Oh sorry I'm rambling here… Thanks for the letter… I hope I can visit sometime.

The Number One Knuckleheaded Kumogakure Shinobi Uzumaki Naruto

Tsunade slowly closed the scroll and wiped away a tear. She missed the blonde so much. "Thanks Kakashi," Tsunade smiled. Kakashi gave a bow and left.

Naruto stood alone in a field he was sick of being followed. "Come out," Naruto growled. As commanded four figures shot out of the trees and surrounded him.

"Uzumaki Naruto," the first spoke.

"You four eh? I thought you guys were dead," Naruto said as he looked at the sound for.

"Danzo found us on the brink and brought us back," Kidomaru said. Naruto took a second to look over the four. They all look almost exactly the same as they did all those years ago. Only now they all wore black pants with black undershirts and white shits with a demonic version of the Konoha Leaf.

"You are aware that I'll kill all four of you like nothing right?" Naruto asked.

"I think not," they said in unison and they all did the last thing Naruto ever thought would happen. Tayuya's eyes became Sharingans, Kidomaru's eyes became Byakugans, Jirobo's right arm grew and Sakon summoned a wolf.

"Dojutsus, Akimichi clan jutsus, and a summoning jutsus… this is just wrong," Naruto said as he watched Tayuya and Kidomaru jump back taking their position at range while Jirobo and Sakon charged in. Naruto rather skillfully dodged the two but knew he was at a partial disadvantage. He didn't have his armor on nor did he have his Shinikiba. All he had was his fists, two kunai and a small spool of Ninja wire.

His opponents on the other hand were geared to the teeth. Naruto flipped backwards activating his chakra cloak as he did. His body and clothes became gold with black accenting it. All he needed now was his weapon and these four wouldn't last two seconds dojutsus or not. Naruto looked to see he was surrounded by five now that Ukon and Sakon separated.

"Katon: Ryuka No Jutsu," Kidomaru spoke spewing fire at Naruto.

"Futon: Daitoppa," Tayuya's chest swelled causing Naruto to have a bit of blood draw from his nose before the wind mixed with the fire.

"Raiton: Kangekiha," Sakon shot forth a wave of lighting.

"Doton: Doryo Dango," Jirobo lifted a truly massive rock from the ground and threw it at Naruto.

"Suiton: Teppodama," Ukon spoke adding in a burst of water.

"Collaboration Jutsu: Five Element Death Jutsu," all five spoke at once. Naruto's eyes widened when the five jutsu converged on him. Ukon quickly fused back with his brother so they could do the next step.

"Shishienji!" the four called out trapping Naruto within as the jutsu went off. The explosion was so massive that the walls of the barrier jutsu were pushed out and the four were nearly knocked back.

"I don't care who the fuck you are. Nobody could have survived that," Tayuya said. She spoke to see as the dust settled there sat Naruto bleeding heavily and panting. It had taken his entire cloak to counter the explosion but he still wound up getting burnt up a bit.

"Well fuck that hurt," Naruto said as he slowly stood up. Tayuya's face reddened slightly seeing Naruto's lack of clothes as now he was only clad in a charred hakama.

"How the fuck did you survive that shithead?" Tayuya asked willing her flush to go down.

"The same way I survive everything. Pure dumb luck," Naruto said as he felt something coming his way.

"Well we'll just have to crush you again," Jirobo said as the barrier came down. Naruto looked at the four he was not only lacking his armor and weapon... but now he was injured. Just great.

"I'm hungry," Jirobo said.

"Come get some fatty," Naruto smirked. Raged flashed into Jirobo's eyes and he charged forward/

"Jirobo you dumbass!" Tyauya yelled. Naruto side stepped his wild grab and hooked him into a headlock.

"One down," Naruto said as he gave a jerk and Jirobo's body went limp. Dropping the orange haired man Naruto turned his attention to the other 'three'.

"So who-" Naruto narrowly dodged an arrow that was aimed at right between his eyes.

"Close," Kidomaru grinned. Naruto kept his eyes peeled on Kidomaru. That was when he heard a low growl. Spinning around he saw the wolf that Sakon had summoned.

"Shit!" Naruto shouted as the wolf lunged and sunk it's teeth into his shoulder. With a scream of pain Naruto grabbed the wolf and crushed it's neck forcing it to disperse.

Naruto jerked forward and hit the ground as an arrow pierced straight through his good shoulder. Slowly working his way up again Naruto grabbed the arrow and pulled it out with a loud groan.

"You can't take another one," Kidomaru laughed as he notched another arrow.

"Neither can you!" Naruto shouted as he spun and threw the arrow with all his might.

"Shi-" was all Kidomaru was able to say before the arrow stuck into his eye and dropped him. Tayuya pulled out her flute and readied to play.

"No music thanks," Naruto said as he shot towards Tayuya.

"No choice," She smiled before Naruto vanished.

"What?" Tayuya looked around.

"Behind you!" Sakon screamed trying to get her attention. Tayuya turned around and sure enough there was Naruto. Before she could react he stole away her flute and crushed it.

"Chakra's back," Naruto smiled as his golden form over took him once more. He clenched his fist smashed the former sound kunoichi in the face knocking her out.

"Fuck this," Sakon said as he turned and froze. He wanted to run but now he was doomed. He got to watch as a pair of elongated claws sunk into his heart and removed it from his chest. The other set shot forward and sunk into Ukon's head killing him as well.

"Yugito-chan!" Naruto smiled happily as the woman wiped her nails off. Naruto's smile faded when he saw her face.

"What in the hell did you think you were doing?" Yugito asked. She moved toward him and grabbed his shoulders. "You could've gotten killed!" Yugito said as she gripped his shoulders.

"I'm sorry Yugito-chan… I didn't mean to worry you," Naruto said before he felt her slap him.

"Don't ever do that again," Yugito said as she pulled him into a hug.

"I won't," Naruto replied. 'I didn't know she cared that much,' Naruto thought as they heard a groan.

"She's still alive," Yugito said as Tayuya slowly came too.

"I left her alive so I can ask her a few things," Naruto said as he walked over to the recovering girl. Tayuya slowly looked up to see Naruto standing just before her.

"Great… so what will it be? Torture? Rape? Or a slow agonizing death?" Tayuya asked. Naruto's face went red at the mentioning of rape.

"I would never touch a woman so. I simply want to ask you some things," Naruto replied.

"Can't tell ya," Tayuya said.

"She's probably got a seal stopping her from spilling secrets," Yugito said. As if to confirm what Yugito said Tayuya lifted up her shirt showing her stomach which held a seal.

"Great and I still suck at Fuinjutsu," Naruto said. The three turned their attentions when they heard a cough. Naruto looked in surprise seeing it was Kidomaru laying there with an arrow in his eye still.

"You're still alive?" Tayuya asked in shock.

"I used my Nenkin No Yoroi in my eyes just before the arrow hit… I'll never be able to have a left eye again… the cords were cut in order to preserve my life," Kidomaru said as he ripped the arrow and what was left of his eye out.

"That's gross," Naruto said.

"What not going to end me?" Kidomaru asked.

"I wanted to know why you attacked me in the first place," Naruto said.

"We wanted our freedom. Even if it was for a short while," Kidomaru replied.

"Freedom from whom?" Naruto asked.

"Can't say," Kidomaru replied.

"Naruto look at their seals maybe you can break them," Yugito said.

"I guess it won't hurt to look," Naruto said as he walked over to Tayuya and looked at the seal on her stomach. Naruto looked at the seal rubbing his chin as he looked it over. It was masterfully done and very complex.

"I don't think I can… but Jiraiya might be able to," Naruto said as he looked to Kidomaru.

"So what then?" Kidomaru asked.

"Well answer this. Do you still want me dead?" Naruto asked.

"I just want my freedom," the both answered.

"Good answer," Naruto laughed. He then bit his thumb and ran through a few hand signs. "Summoning Jutsu," with a puff of smoke a medium sized yellow toad appeared.

"Hey Gamaraito," Naruto smiled.

"What's up Naruto?" Gamaraito asked.

"Mind sending a message to Jiraiya? When he has a chance come to Kumo," Naruto said.

"Got it," Raito said as he vanished in a pillar of light.

"So you're going to get our seals off, interrogate us then kill us?" Kidomaru asked.

"Nope. If you tell us everything you'll be free. Kumo, Suna, Kiri, Iwa, Konoha. Where every you want to go you can go," Naruto said before he dropped to his knees still weakened from the fight.

"Naruto," Yugito said as she held him stand.

"Follow us… don't try to run or Yugito-chan here will hunt you down," Naruto said. The two former sound nin nodded and followed the two back to Kumo.

~Back in Konoha~

"Sir," a man knelt before Danzo.

"They failed… I am aware," Danzo said as he rubbed his chin. I guess I'll just have to kill Naruto myself," he added.

"Is that so?" Danzo turned to the man and his eye widened seeing who it was. There before him was Sasuke Uchiha.

"I don't think I can allow you to kill Naruto," Sasuke said as his eyes started to spin.

"You think you can beat me?" Danzo asked.

"Let's see what you've got Old man," Sasuke said.

~Kumo~

For the second time in a few months Jiraiya found himself inspecting a seal. "This was made by a very skilled Funijutsuist. I would assume Danzo," Jiraiya said as he like Naruto rubbed his chin while inspecting the seal.

"Can you break it?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah… it's strong but sloppy… Danzo must have only been observing rather than doing it himself," Jiraiya replied as he pulled out a brush and ink set.

"What do you need?" Tayuya asked.

"For you both to strip down your upper halves yes I mean your bra too. I need full skin constant with this counterseal," Jiraiya said with a surprising amount of seriousness. Naruto rolled his eyes thinking Jiraiya was trying to be a pervert.

"You grab anything an I'll kick you so hard you'll become woman," Tayuya said.

"There are two things in this world I don't joke about," Jiraiya said still with his serious face. "My research and Funijutsu counterseals. Both require my full attention when being done or it can be fatal," Jiraiya then dipped the tip of his brush into the ink and started to write on Tayuya's naked chest.

Naruto watched in surprise as Jiraiya covered the girls chest, shoulders, neck, stomach, arms and back with a massively intricate seal. Without a word he moved to Kidomaru and did the same except he only did two of his six arms.

Once the two were fully inked up Jiraiya rubbed his hands together and place a hand on both of their stomachs. "Fuinjutsu: Tearing Seal," Jiraiya spoke as the ink started to glow red and both of the ex-oto nin started to scream in pain. The pain was so intense their bodies completely seized up they couldn't even buckle over in pain.

"KAI!" Jiraiya shouted as he pulled his hands back and the ink along with the seals came off their bodies and became a pair of floating ink wells. After a second both wells burst into flames and were no more.

"There… the seals… are gone," Jiraiya replied while panting. Naruto smiled and helped Jiraiya over to a chair so he could rest.

"Ok you two can put your shirts back on," Naruto said. The two obeyed and redressed.

"Are we really free?" Kidomaru asked.

"After you answer my questions," Naruto replied quickly. The two nodded. If this got them their freedom they would gladly sell out Danzo.

"Ok what do you want to know?" Kidomaru asked.

"Everything from how you survived and why you came after me," Naruto said.

"Ok well I don't know how I survived I simply woke up in a cell with the others nearby. After a week in that cell and man came to us. He looked like he could barely walk and his face was covered in bandages. He called himself Danzo and said we were not a part of root," Kidomaru said.

"He then picked me and Kidomaru out and started to experiment on us saying we were more unique then the others. That was when he put the Sharingan in my head and the Byakugan in Kidomaru's head. He seemed to take a special interest in the fact that we could activate and deactivate them," Tayuya explained.

"After that he started our training… after he sealed us and told us if we disobeyed he'd activate the seals. And those hurt like fuck," Kidomaru said.

"I'm finding it hard to believe he just put dojutsu's into your heads," Naruto said as he crossed his arms.

"You think we understand it much better?" Tayuya asked. "We wake up, get tortured and trained for three years then he sends us at you,"

"Whatever just finish up," Naruto said.

"Well after he 'trained' us we became his special task force. He would send us out of the village to assassinate people he wanted gone. You were one of them," Kidomaru said.

"I guess that makes since. I won't go back to Konoha so he wants me gone so he can seal the fox into someone else and have the Jinchuriki back in Konoha," Naruto said while nodding his head.

"Not possible," Jiraiya said quickly.

"Eh?" Naruto looked to Jiraiya.

"So far only an Uzumaki can contain the Nine-tailed Fox," Jiraiya said. "Like Mito-sama, Kushina and yourself," Naruto nodded then looked back at the two.

"Well the Raikage said I could hold up my end of the bargain so you two are free," Naruto said. Tayuya looked to Kidomaru whom shrugged then nodded.

"I kind of wanted to stay here… this place seems peaceful," Tayuya said.

"That's up to the Raikage," Naruto replied.

"Can you get us a meeting with him?" Kidomaru asked.

"I suppose," Naruto said rubbing his chin once more. The two weren't sure if Kumo would be better or worse but it was worth a shot.

"Do you guys still want to be Shinobi?" Naruto asked.

"I'm sick of fighting… I just want to live," Tayuya said solemnly.

"I'm just sick of being forced to fight… fighting for my home would be different," Kidomaru said.

"Well let's go see if Raikage-sama will see you," Naruto said as he led the two out of the room followed by Jiraiya.

"I see you around Gaki," Jiraiya said as he took his leave once they were out of the building.
