"Rasengan!" Naruto yelled as he charged as Sasuke. "Kit, lower the chakra input. the Hag said to retrieve him, not kill him," the Kyuubi said mid air.
"Chidori!" exclaimed Sasuke who was hell-bent on power from the curse seal.
When both of the jutsu collided, everything was at a standstill, until a large dome of blinding energy. After the energy faded, one figure was on the ground surrounded by blood. While the other was standing on the first; the standing figure was Sasuke Uchiha. Who thought a single thing before he passed out, 'I beat dobe, wait who is that red-head walking here?"
The person walking to the bodies was tall with and had three diagonal scars. Donned in a black cloak with flowing straight red-hair and a katana on his back, he walked to the blonde teen floating in the water he just spoke, "Pitiful Uchiha. Even with that 'Great Sharingan" he couldn't tell that his opponent was holding back."
The man picked up Naruto, put him on his shoulders and left, 'Finally found you, nephew. Time to take you time,' the man thought. The kid felt much lighter than the man thought before, assuming he was probably malnourished. Even then, he had potential and great raw power. It was time the kid learned how to use it.

Tsunade could barely drink from the results of the Retrieval Team. Neji and Chouji in critical condition on the edge of death, Kiba severely injured as well, Shikamaru a broken finger, but the worst of which...Naruto was nowhere to be found.
The Senju yelled at Shizune, who was outside talking to the Clan Heads, to come in the room. "Where is my little brother?!"
Kakashi's head hung low as his tone was grave, "Forgive me, Hokage-sama. We could not recover him. There was a large pool of blood in the area where we found Sasuke, but no wounds on Sasuke's body indicating it was his. We have to assume...Naruto's gone," the silver haired Jounin struggled out.
Tsunade's expression filled with one of anguish and pain as Shizune rushed to her, trying to comfort her as tears poured from her eyes. Before the aide could make a movement to help her superior, Tsunade put her arm up, "I want every available shinobi searching. NOW!"
Both Kakashi and Shizune nodded as they went off to carry out the orders, leaving Tsunade alone in the office. Her head crashed on the desk with her arms on her forehead. Droplets streamed down her cheeks and nose as her silent cries were audible in the dead quiet of the room, "Why did I have to lose you too..."

Naruto's eyes fluttered open as he attempted to get up only to have a surge of agony spark throughout his spine and chest. He looked down to see a heavy wrapping of gauze and bandages, slightly bloody. He looked across his arms and peeled off some of the bandages to see a cut slowly closing, 'That teme...he could've killed me.'
"You stupid brat. You lowered the power of your jutsu too much. He pierced your lung, and you would have been dead if it wasn't for me," the Kyuubi spoke menacingly.
'Gee thanks for the help, furball. Didn't know you cared.'
"Shut your mouth, you pathetic human. I don't care about your life, but if you are weak then it makes me look bad."
'Aww you do care!"
The Kyuubi roared at Naruto within his mind, but Naruto cut the connection as he slowly got up. Naruto got out of the tent, much to his body's displeasure. He continued to a small campfire which had a tall red-head with three diagonal scars going down the right side of his face almost slashing his eye.
Naruto sat down a few feet away from him, next to the fire and saw that the man's eyes were closed. Before Naruto could speak, the red-haired stranger simply hushed him. This continued until eventually, after ten minutes of sitting quietly, the blonde's brash attitude took over and he said, "Who are you and why did you save me?!"
The man just remained quiet.
"ANSWER ME!" Finally the man answered, "My name is Kenshin Uzumaki, I am a Survivor of the Whirlpool Massacre, Veteran of the Third Great Shinobi War, and your uncle. In the next three months, I will train you in the Arts of the Uzumaki Clan."
Thoughts rushed throughout Naruto's head. He had family. He wasn't alone. He shouldn't have been alone. He should've had help. He should've been loved. Where was this person when he needed him? Where was he when the village mistreated him for years on end?
Pain. Suffering. Hate. Kill. These words resonated through Naruto's mind as crimson chakra began to bubble. It quickly escaped his skin and encased his body, wrapping around it like translucent armour as Naruto's features became beast-like. With his teeth now fangs, fingers now claws, eyes now bloody red slits, the boy's roar shook the forest as birds escaped the trees, "RAAAAAAH!"
