-KONOHA-

Cat, Bear and Ape along with 5 Jonin were in the middle of escorting 1 (barely) injured Uchiha Sasuke to the I&T Department. Until they were stopped by random civilians, the Civilian Council, Homura, and Koharu.

"What do you ANBU think you are doing? asked/screeched Mebuki Haruno, a Civilian Council member. "Under the authority of the Civilian Council, you are to release custody of Uchiha-sama to us." With that a very stupid Jonin walked picked up Sasuke and almost gave him to the crowd. Almost, until Tsunade and Kakashi shushined to the district scene.

"Kazana, may I 'request' to be informed of what you are doing" "I am give Sasuke-san to the Council as requested. They are my superiors." Just then Cat hit a nerve on his neck. Everyone except Tsunade was aghast, until Cat reached into his pouch and brought out a blank ANBU mask with the word 'Root'.

"Tell me Cat. Where does the Civilian Council fall under the Shinobi Authority Branch?" "No where Hokage-sama. THe only council that is related to Shinobi matters is the SHINOBI COUNCIL. Also the Elders have no power under the Hokage's command. They are just advisers." explained correctly knowledged ANBU.

"You hear that?" rhetorically asked the young/oldish Fire Shadow, "Now, under my authority, you are to leave!"

-KENSHIN'S CAMP-

Naruto was in the process of running 2 miles, 50 push ups, 50 pull ups, 65 crunches, 115 jumping jacks, and 45 squats in order to get suited to his new seal movements. Every time he was suited to the seals movement burden Kenshin would increase them.

'Kyuubi, thank you so much for the gift of stamina from being sealed into me.' "Kit, I gave you healing not stamina, it probably ties with your Family Bloodlines" 'BLOODLINES THAT IS SO COOL!' "Focus, your Uncle is calling you."

"Yo Naruto, you seem used to you seals. So we can test them out. Come at me with intent to kill." 'Great now he sounds like Kakashi-sensei'

Naruto dashed forward attempting to punch. Even though his seals were still activated, he never felt so agile. The punch was about to connect until Kenshin's right hand caught Naruto's left hand in a claw-like manner. As soon as he applied pressure to his wrist and joints, he couldn't feel them anymore. It was as if, they didn't exist.

"I never said start." Kenshin simply informed to Naruto while regained control of his hand while Kenshin tapped on his palm. 'This guy is like Kakashi and I fell for the same fight crap again.'

They both took 30 steps back, "START!" But unlike Kakashi, he didn't disappear. He ran forward just like Naruto and made a half-tiger hand seal. Just then, Naruto felt freedom in his movements, his seal was deactivated for the fight. Still, Kenshin wasn't afraid of a little speed increase, he charged. Somehow to Kenshin's surprise, Naruto was actually connecting blows with him bot not effectively. His taijutsu was barbaric and his stance was even worse. He was taking notes on how to improve his skills. 'So, I'll teach him the Guardian and Warrior Dragon Fang Styles, emotion control due to his brash nature, and get him adjusted to his speed.'

10 minutes later, the two were still fight, both 30 feet away from each other. Again they both ran, but this time, Kenshin slid under Naruto's legs, pushed himself up with his arm, and held his neck by his index finger and thumb.

"If you want to keep your body for thrashing out of control for the next hour, I suggest you back down Naruto." Naruto did just that. "Good, that wasn't to see just your improvement, but also you skills. Now I can properly train you. So you better brace yourself for hell." 'More like a quarter hell, wait until he gets training from Kushina and Kyuubi.'

-KONOHA-

Tsunade was peacefully crying until she heard fireworks and laughter. She looked outside and saw disgust; the village was honoring Sasuke for killing the "Demon." It was out of her control now, the only way she could stop it was by creating earth fissures to destroy most-all of the village. Then Jiraya, Shizuen, Asuma, Kakashi, Kurenai, Gai, Anko, Ibiki, Ayame, Teichi, Team 8, Team 10, and Team 11 (Lee, Neji, and Tenten) joined the room and grieved for the loss. To the villagea burden was gone. But really, Konoha's #1 Unpredictable Shinobi was gone. But to Tsunade, missing. But none of them could do anything about it.

[THE NEXT DAY]

The was looking through the interrogation file results of Sasuke, who was currently hospitalized. For the prevention of paperwork, Inoichi just invad... er I mean examined his mind. It wasn't the actions that mystified her, it was the brutal way he killed Naruto. Just as she was on the verge of tears (again), a red-haired man walked infront of Sasuke. Tsunade got a sketch of the picture.

'Could it be... Kenshin is alive?!'
