2 Days had passed since Team 6 and 8 encountered the Demon of the Hidden Mist Zabuza Momochi. And they were all shaken up by that incident, it showed to them that they were all weak. All except Naruto. He was the one that had fought and killed him. None of them could believe it but when the evidence was right there how could they deny it. Zabuza's dead body was there on the ground.
Tazuna was very grateful to him. He had thanked and apologised to him for ever doubting him. Kiba was the only one unhappy. He wasn't happy that Naruto had taken all the glory for himself but if he defeated Zabuza he wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
After that they made their way to Tazunas home. Where they had met his daughter and his nephew. Except for Hinata none of them cared about his edgy personality and paid him no mind.
Now they were all in the forest training. Their sensei might not be in the same mission as them but they had left them scrolls on what to do work while on mission.
Sasuke and Satsuki were practising on their fire style Jutsus. Kiba was practising his combo moves with his dog Akamaru. While Shino was meditating while his insects buzzed around him.
Hinata was having trouble practising her Taijutsu alone so Naruto offered his help which nearly made Hinata faint but Naruto paid no mind to it and they started training together.
As they traded blows it became more and more clear to Naruto. "Hinata, what is your Chakra affinity?" he asked.
"I-I-I d-don't know i n-never checked it" she replied while stuttering.
"I see so it makes sense. Your movements are stiff they are more typical for Lighting style users which contradicts the Gentle Fists Earth Style nature" stated Naruto while Hinata simply stared at him in awe.
"But what can I do to improve then?" asked Hinata, surprisingly not stuttering. "I think that you should make the Gentle Fist adapt to you, not the other way around. Since there is a big difference in the way Lighting Style and Earth Style Taijutsu users fight" he answered.
"I guess that makes sense, so what affinity do you have?" asked Hinata, her stuttering habit seemingly gone.
"I have all 5 affinities but my strongest one is Lighting," said Naruto with a calm expression.
This news left all the other participants speechless. Having 2 to 3 affinities is hard enough but to have them all at the age of 12 was nearly impossible.

The Uzumaki Storage Temple was a relatively new monument that was built 19 years ago after the end of the 3 Great Ninja War. It was built in honour of the now nearly extinct Uzumaki island nation of Whirlpool Country was destroyed by a combined attack of Kumo Iwa and Kiri.
But after the war had ended their allies Konoha had taken the time to build a Temple in their honour. The Temple was built inside the Borders of Fire Country not on the island since it was considered too dangerous. Minor things that were left behind by the clan were collected and brought here.
And for over 19 years they were kept there without disturbance. Guards surrounded the place 24/7. But now 5 figures stood in the middle of the Temple.
''What the hell happened here?'' came the voice of the female of the group.
''I don't know,'' replied one of the figures, his voice filled with disbelief. They were standing in the middle of the Temple or rather what remained of it.
The Temple was in ruins. Walls were missing smoke,fire and blood filled the area. Giving the impression of a war zone. ''We should look for survivors'' said one of the Jonin. He was Kakashi Hatake of Konoha and with him were Asuma Sarutobi, Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi and the recently instated Jonin Yamato.
They were on a special mission. They were sent by the Hokage to chase after the traitor Shisui Uchiha. Shisui's betrayal had damaged the reputation of the Uchiha Clan and the task of capturing the now rogue shinobi fell into the hands of the Elite Jounin instead of The Police Force.
As they looked for survivors within the temple, Kakashi came across them immediately. He gave him water that he had on him helping him to be at least able to talk. ''Please talk to me, what happened here?''
''S-S-Shisui U-u-uchiha'' were the last words he could muster before his heart stopped. He was dead.
''Shisui'' Kakashi said the name as if it was venom.
—XxX—
4 Hours had passed and team 6 and 8 had gone to rest. All except for Naruto and Hinata who were still training. She was beginning to create her new style of Taijutsu.
''Naruto-kun c-can we please take a break?'' asked Hinata who was having a hard time breathing. ''Sure why not'' replied Naruto who looked perfectly fine.
She simply fell down on her back on the ground too tired to even move. She then looked at Naruto who had a serious look on his face, he was looking around. ''Is something wrong'' she asked but didn't receive an answer. She then got up and activated her Byakugan. ''3 People Northwest, but it looks like they are old people most likely civilians escaping Gato'' she stated, visibly calm down.
They made their way towards them. They were greeted with the sight of 3 people arguing beside a campfire. One was a tired looking old man. He had pinkish red hair that coverd his eyes. Beside him was a tall woman who had long,straight, dark brown hair and brown eyes. She looked the same age as the old man but there was denying her beauty.
In front of them was a girl the same height as Naruto and Hinata. She was the one shouting and complaining. She was a tall and well-endowed young woman, with long, light-green hair and blue thing they all had in common was their outfits , they all had black uniforms with different symbols on them. ''You old bastards it's all your fault that we are even stuck here in the first place''
The older figures seemed to pay her no mind. The older woman than smiled at her ''Cat can you please shut up otherwise i might have to kill you''
''You wanna go old hag''
''What did you just call me?'' replied the older woman the smile still on her face. However their arguing was interrupted when the man that clearly looked annoyed said ''Shut up both of you we have visitors'' looking at Naruto and Hinata.
They both stopped and looked at them. Naruto looked like he didn't care while Hinata clearly had a worried expression on her face. That old woman really creeped her out.
''Who are you?'' asked the old man. ''We're Konoha Ninja, we're here on a mission'' replied Naruto since Hinata was too scared to say anything. ''I see, well we are about to eat, do you want to join us?'' asked the brown haired woman with a smile on her face, never wavering.
Naruto looked at their lunch, and they were cooking 3 rabbits. ''It doesn't look like you have enough for all of us''. The old man simply smiled at him before taking out a small wooden arrow from behind him. He proceeded to fire an arrow to his left without even looking at it. All they heard was when the arrow landed. Not 1 but 2 rabbits were stabbed right through one another. ''There's your lunch''.
—XxX—
After taking a look around the temple looking for survivors the Team from Konoha had regrouped. Apart from Kakashi had not been able to find any survivors. But they knew what had happened. Shisui Uchiha had attacked.
"What should we do now? We don't have any idea where he's heading" asked Kurenai.
"Don't worry my summoning is chasing after him" stated Kakashi.
"Where is he going?" asked Asuma.
"He's going to the ruins of whirlpool country" stated Kakashi.
"What? What reason would he have to go there, that place is ruined? "asked Kurenai who was confused.
"Well his wife Fubuki is an Uzumaki so there definitely could be something he is going for on the island" said Yamato who up to this point was relatively quiet.
"Come on, you are not suggesting that Fubuki is also a traitor are you? She is Kushina Sensei's cousin and only living relative, she would never betray Konoha" Replied Kurenai her voice filled with rage that Yamato would even suggest that.
Kurenai, Asuma and Raidō Namiashi were students under Kushina Uzumaki before she got pregnant. Kurenai especially formed a close bond with her. And Fubuki Uzumaki was a cousin of Kushina that survived. She fell in love and married Shisui Uchiha. So Kureani would never blame her for the actions of her husband.
"Enough we don't have time for this, Kakashi, what is the shortest route we could take?" said Guy in a serious tone that took back Kurenai and Yamato. Guy was usually always goofing around, never serious about anything so they had never seen this side of him.
"The Royal Road is the route that takes us to the port that goes to the Uzushiogakure, so we have to take that," replied Kakashi.
"Well then let's go"

For Minato, as usual, it was a boring and tiring day. He was in his office doing paperwork. His use of the shadow Clone Jutsu was criticised by the Shinobi and Civilian Councils so he could no longer rely on that for support. He had to do all the paperwork on his.
But his mind wasn't at the paperwork. His mind was preoccupied with the 3 Team currently out on missions. First there was the Genin Team. They were gone for 3 days with no news about their mission. Then there was the Jonin team that had been sent to chase after Shisui Uchiha. So many things were happening all at once.
Then suddenly he was taken out of his thoughts as the door of his office was knocked on. He told them to enter and to his surprise the door opened to reveal Sosuke Aizen.
Minato was familiar with Aizen. He was an old friend of Izukita, his brother. He was one of his captains in the Anbu Black Ops and a big part of the White Room.
"It's been a long time Aizen, what can i do for you"
Aizen entered the room with a smile present on his face. He took a glance around the office "Your office is still the same after 4 years, you're not a man of progress are you Minato" he said as he made his way to the nearby couch before sitting down.
Minato cracked a smile. "Your right the office is still the same, it hasn't changed at all but it's not me that is against progress but the old generation that is still stubbornly holding on to political power" said Minato.
"One more reason why we of the Anbu like to make our work in the Shadows where we are not restrained by the power of those old fools" replied Sosuke, his smile never wavering.
"Why did you come here?"
"I wanted to let you know that I have sent a squadron of Anbu to escort back Team 6 and 8 from their mission on the Land of Waves."
"Why?"
"It seems that the client has lied to us about the rank of the mission. Strange lights and the destruction of a nearby field has alarmed some of the villagers living in the area. It seems that the businessman known as Gato has been involved in criminal activities there trying to establish his own wealth. So i have declared him an enemy of Konoha, he will be killed at first sight and his wealth confiscated"
"As for teams sent there I learned of some interesting news as well. Naruto Uzumaki, your newly legitimised son has defeated Rouge Jonin of Kiri Zabuza Momochi. Some big nations are considering putting bounty on his head"
Minato was speechless and he couldn't say anything. Aizen knew this much about the state of his own teams and he had acted on his own. Sure he had acted without his orders but he had done so in the interest of Konoha plus he technically hadn't stepped his own boundaries. He was part of a special unit of Anbu Black Ops.
His group is a Secret Special Force that consists of Anbu's who have formally resigned themselves from the actual command structure of the organisation, but still operate on its behalf.
Unlike ordinary Anbu's, members of this group are allowed the freedom to disregard any orders they choose and can move and act as they please without repercussion, meaning they can take on missions that are normally forbidden or would otherwise require clearance and Sosuke Aizen was their Head Captain, the order was first created by Izukita Namikaze.
"I see, how long will it take for them to return here to Konoha?" asked Minato.
"If they want to participate in the eradication of Gato and his mercenaries most likely after 2 days. But if they choose to come home now they can make their journey back by tomorrow."
"I see do you need anything else Sosuke"
"No, I don't have anything," he said as he got up.
—XxX—
Shisui Uchiha's betrayal of Konoha had shocked everyone, especially those who personally knew the man. Kushina Uzumaki knew that his wife would be devastated by the news, so she went to stay with her. Minato had told her that he was going to talk with Naruto and as much as she wanted to apologise to him she didn't have the courage to face him after making his life hell.
So she instead went to her cousin Fubuki Uzumaki (Shisui's Wife). Fubuki was a fairly tall woman with short red hair. She wore a completely tight black uniform from neck to knees where she also had a kunai pouch.
Kushina had come, made lunch for her and tried to console her for an hour but wasn't getting any replies. From Fubuki's state she knew why. She had bags under her eyes most likely from the lack of had told Kushina about the baby 9 months ago so she knew why Fubuki was like this.
"Fubuki, trust me you should get some rest, don't beat yourself over this,nothing is your fault and as for the baby i am sure you will have another, and be a great mother" said Kushina in a relaxed tone.
Fubuki's teeth clenched, her knuckles so tight that they started to drip blood. She angrily turned her head towards Kushina who was taken back by the sudden look in Fubuki's face.
"And what do you know about being a good mother, if you were one you wouldn't have abandoned your own son to the streets"
It took Kushina a moment to recover. "How dare you say that to me, don't forget Fubuki that i am the one that saved you, if it wasn't for me you would have rotten on the streets of some random village as a beggar"
Kushina loved Fubuki as her own daughter but she wasn't about to have her pride wounded like that.
"Like your son did?" was the only thing Fubuki said as a reply.
Kushina didn't say anything else. She took whatever she had brought with and slammed the door on her way out.
—XxX—
Team 8 were back on their way to Konoha. Unlike team 6 they decided that they were not an attacking team but rather a scouting team so they didn't want to participate in the attack of Gato by the Anbu who had arrived to escort them.
Hinata in particular was very happy. She had a very successful mission. She had gained experience outside of Konoha, had spent time with Nartuto like she had always wanted to and had trained with him, getting stronger in the process. All in all it had been a very good mission.
Shino was in deep thoughts. He was recalling a conversation he had with Naruto back in the Land of Wave, he had asked him for advice. Shino wanted to add some Fuinjutsu seals to his reservoir but didn't know what to do. Menma and Narumi Uzumaki were both people with huge egos that he had a negative opinion of.
Kushina Uzumaki was a woman he had never talked to while the Hokage was a man busy with running of the village, he wouldn't have time to waste with him. So logically Naruto was the only one he could talk about Fuinjutsu.
Naruto had suggested the idea that he create a special unit of bugs that he covers with restraining seals. The moment the bugs made contact with the enemy they would completely restrain that part of the body, a very deadly combination but it would no doubt be very costly, since he had to buy the seals.
Kiba was going last of the group. Ever since the fight with Zabuza he was always in a bad mood. He was really pissed. Back in the academy Naruto was an average student nowhere near the top of the class. Kiba on the other hand was at the top of the class along with his best friend Menma.
But this mission hadn't gone the way he thought it would. He wasn't the hero of the mission. Naruto had made him see reality the hard way. He was far superior to him. He had spent the entire time punching trees and worst of all he had to watch while he took his crush Hinata Hyuga right in front of him.
Team 8 right now were being escorted by a team of 4 Anbu Black Ops. Though only one of them was walking alongside them. It looked to be a female Anbu. She had blonde hair that went down to her neck, her face was covered by a tiger mask. She wore the regular Anbu uniform except that her vest was white not grey like the usual Anbu.
"Um excuse me miss Anbu i have a question" asked Hinata while not stuttering she still had her shy voice.
"Yes, what is it?" she replied in a blank voice.
"You guys seemed to know who Naruto is, can i know how" Hinata's question got the attention of her 2 teammates.
"Well it's true we do know Naruto personally"
"How?" Kiba asked impatiently.
"We were assigned to look over him back when was a child, so if there was trouble we would have to interfere so we do know him" the tiger mask Anbu said.
She was lying of course but she knew how to do it perfectly. This was the difference between the Anbu of Hokage & The Root and the Anbu lead by Sosuke Aizen. They were called Operation Black Sword. And unlike the regular Anbu they didn't discard their emotions instead they learned how to manipulate them to their advantage.
So lying, deceiving, manipulating were normal things for the members of the operation.
"I see so you guys protected him while he grew up, that's good" said Hinata, a relieved smile appearing on her face as she continued her walk towards the village.
—XxX—
It was 5 in the morning in the Land of Waves, the sun had started to rise. Team 8 had left to head home but team 6 had decided to stay back, they wanted to participate in the attack that the Anbu Black Ops were going to carry against Gato. The tyrant that had been terrorising The Land of Waves.
They were on top of a hill overlooking Gato's base of was located near the port. Gato had heard of Zabuza's death so he had bought every mercenary he could find in the nearby area. He planned an attack on the newly built bridge.
"Shall we go?" asked Sasuke.
"Yes we'll go in now, don't forget your mission is to raid the base of its wealth, if you are forced to fight then so be it but if you can avoid fighting" stated the captain of the Anbu that were going to make the attack on tha base.
There were 15 Anbu's surrounding Team 6.
"Let's go" said the captain as they all charged down the hill.
It was 5 in the morning so no one was expecting a surprise attack in fact most of Gato's mercenaries were asleep.
Explosion erupted with smoke and rubble covering up the entire port.
"What the hell is going on?" shouted one of the guards.
"We're under attack alarm everyon–" he wasn't able to finish the sentence as he took a kunai to his neck.
Naruto, Sasuke and Satsuki made their way towards the main building of the port. Which they entered without any problems, the diversion that they had created had gotten everyone's attention.
They entered the building which seemed to be a huge warehouse. But they were met with at least 10 mercenaries that saw the door open and charged at them.
"Die" was the collective roar of the men.
But they were all cut down, Naruto with his sword, Satsuki had her Shuriken, while Sasuke had strangled a few with invisible wire strings.
Naruto looked around the warehouse when he was able to locate Gato. The business man was in the second level of the warehouse, in his office cowering underneath the table.
Team 6 made their way towards him.
"Get up" commanded Naruto.
Gato got up slowly, he was shaking in fear.
"Hey Sasuke, isn't that the guy that came to our house a few months ago asking for an Uchiha to protect him?" asked Satsuki.
"Yeah but dad told him to get lost" confirmed Sasuke.
"Y-y-yeah p-please let me live a-and i-i-ill give you a-a-anything you want i'll give you money, jewls a-anything" Gato shouted, who believed he could get out of his current situation.
"Anything?" asked Naruto who was clearly amused.
"Anything I swear," pleaded Gato.
"An interesting proposition but what can you offer to someone who desires nothing of this world?" replied Naruto a wicked smile plastered on his face.
Gato didn't have time to be afraid as with one swift movement of his hand Naruto slashed off Gatos head. His two teammates didn't say anything, they understood why Naruto did it. They weren't afraid of seeing death. Without saying any words they all split up to loot the base.
—XxX—
The Jonin of Konoha had been travelling for almost a full night now but even with their speed it would still take them a couple more hours to reach the port that would take them to the land of Whirlpools.
The team was moving in relative silence, but the silence was quickly broken when a lot of Shuriken came flying their way.
"Take cover," ordered Kakashi.
They all dodged the Shuriken. Taking a closer look from where the shurikens had come from they were able to spot their target.
"Shisui Uchiha, i wasn't expecting to catch up to you this soon, but it doesn't matter" as Kakashi finished his line, a kunai came from behind right to Shisui's neck.
"You're coming back with us" said Kakashi who appeared from behind him, the one in front of Shisui disappearing.
"You're as impressive as ever Kakashi Hatake, but impressive is not good enough" stated Shiusi never actually turning back to look at him.
Kakashi's one visible eye widened before he jumped away as Shiui's body exploded.
"An exploding clone he really tricked us" gasped Kurenai.
She was however quickly silenced as she was punched in the gut by Shisui who appeared in front of her. Immediately Asuma was behind him aiming his Chakra Blades covers with his wind affinity at Shisui's unprotected back.
"You dropped your guard"
"No you did," said Shiusi, turning one eye that had 3 Tomoe towards Asuma, who was completely stuck.
Shiusi didn't have time to celebrate his victory however as he was kicked in the face by Guy who came running and shouting about the Flames of Youth.
"Alright, then let's start our youthful battle then Shisui-san you are a more than worthy opponent to test my Flames of Youth '' stated Guy, his usual smile spotted in his face.
Shisui quickly composed himself once more, wiping off a bit of blood from his 's kick was powerful, it wasn't something serious but it was still a powerful kick nonetheless.
Guy was also joined by Kakashi who had a Kunai in his head.
"This isn't going to be easy huh" asked Shisui, particularly no one.
"Why did you leave Shisui?" asked Kakashi in a serious tone.
"I could take my time and explain it to you but even then you wouldn't be able to understand me Kakashi, so I won't even bother" stated Shisui as his eyes morphed into the Mangekyou Sharingan with the Susanoo following after.
"Let's do this" Shisui was cut short though as the tree he was standing on grew spikes that quickly made their way towards.
He quickly made the necessary hand seal for the Body Flicker Jutsu appearing a few metres away from the fight.
Kakashi used the momentary distraction to get behind him. His famous lightning Jutsu in hand. "Chidori"
Chidori hower wan't able to penetrate the Susanoo's defences.
"Yamato now," shouted Kakashi. He had made a plan with Yamato he would serve as a distraction and Yamato would be the main attacker. But Yamato's attack didn't come.
Kakashi turned around to see and he was shocked Yamato wasn't preparing an attack.
He was unconscious. And a tall man with blue skin and shark-like features and a sword wrapped up in bandages walked from behind him. He wore a black cloak with red clouds on it.
Everyone there stopped and looked at him.
"Kisame Hoshigaki, formerly of the Blood Mist Village, what are you doing here?" asked Kakashi. On the outside he was calm but on the inside his mind was racing, they hadn't thought of a possibility that Kisame Hoshigaki would appear.
"What can't I simply go for a walk?" answered Kisame with a smile on his face, he liked the sense of suspension that had taken over the battlefield.
Kakashi had been so distracted by Kisame's arrival he had even seen that he was punched hard in the gut. His blood made the mask's colour turn red before he fell unconscious on the ground.
"Hehe and why did you do that" chuckled Kisame
"What do you want"
"I came here to give you an offer the leader of my organisation wanted to give to you" replied Kisame
"And what organisation is that"
"I work for the Akatsuki, and our goal is world domination so are you interested in joining us"
"Fine i accept"
"Huh well that was easier than expected, so may I ask why?"
"I am a misting nin, even though i am strong if the 5 great nations send Ninjas equipped with seals that can nullify my powers i would be screwed, but being part of your organisation would give me a certain layer of protection"
"Hehe you're an interesting one Shisui Uchiha"
"Well i am heading to the ruins of Uzushiogakure if you are interested then follow me"
"What about them?" asked Kisame while pointing at the downed Jonin of Konoha.
"Forget about them," said Shisui as he jumped away in the direction of Uzushiogakure with Kisame following behind him.
