Welcome minions.
I think I received the best criticism ever. The guy went through every chapter and left a review of everything he didn't like, to the point that it sounded like he was complaining. But I liked one in particular...
Gh Critic01
I am so fucking proud of myself for reaching the end of this trainwreck. As far as good content goes, you have some decent ideas and originality, but your execution sucked. Surprisingly, only Sasuke and Nami had any depth of personality at all, because the rest of your characters fall flat in the face of scrutiny. I am ashamed of you and your education in literature, and now I have to bleach my eyes of this monstrosity. Farewell, and hopefully you'll make the right choices in the future.
Silver:
Hmm, dude go outside, be gentle the sun could be harmful on your pale skin. Bring an Umbrella,wear a jacket. Just step outside smell the air, pick some roses find something nice and write about it.
I've answered some of the unanswered question from earlier on in the story, and it took some time but I finally know in what direction I want to take this story!
Before it was drifting through, and putting ideas here and there but now the whole thing is solid and I can honestly say you are all in for a treat!
My usual story's don't go over 40 chapters, and that was my original end plot but I've extended that a little due to the various measures that are going to be taken later.
Enough talk.
Oh yeah. Check out my other story's,
The golden Phoenix! A dark Naruto story for those who love the evil none loving Naruto.
And A perfect nightmare.
Lets start.
I don't own Naruto.
"If you weren't such a bitch sometimes, I'll actually be happy I rescued you all those years ago." Kurotashi said taking a sip of saké.
Anko licked her lips. Taking a gulp of her sake. She looked around, they were in a jounin lounge. It was Saturday, so it was packed. Males looking around for sluts, sluts looking around for men. Lonely jounin bathing in their own sorrows, regular clients stood on their stools, drinking all types of drinks.
This was so different from konoha. This didn't feel like home, but it was what she had left. She looked back over at kurotsuchi.
"Why did you do it anyways? It's not like you've asked for anything in return." Kurotsuchi leaned back on her chair. She looked at the purple hair jounin.
"Do I have too? That's what it's like in konoha? You do something expecting something in return?" Anko looked back at the jounin, a dead serious look before breaking into a fit of laughter, kurotsuchi smirked.
"No for real, why did you do it?" Anko said after recovering.
"Big things have small beginnings. While what I did for you was small it will eventually lead to something huge, maybe big."
Anko nodded, after the last couple of years, she was already familiar with her weird friends speaking pattern.
"Does it have something to do with Konoha?" Kurotsuchi shook her head.
"Not necessarily."
"But it does have something to do with Konoha.. Or more like someone or something in Konoha." Kurotsuchi shrugged her shoulders.
"You could say that." Anko nodded.
"Am I a pawn or a queen." Kurotsuchi stood quiet thinking about the chess reference, while she was much more than a pawn, a queen will be too high.
"Your more of a king." Anko nodded.
"And your queen just so happen to be?" Anko inquired. Kurotsuchi smiled.
"You sure have a lot of questions to ask.. Home sick?" Kurotsuchi asked, a hidden threat behind her words.
Anko shook her head. "No, I just never had someone do something for me without a reason... I was a pawn before.. And I refused to become one again, you never know maybe I'll end up agreeing with you."
Kurotsuchi looked into her friend eyes, a hidden fire boiling in them, she smiled.
"Maybe you will. But I can assure you, I am not using you." Kurotsuchi smiled. Anko nodded. Her instinct reacted quicker then her mind as she easily dodged a bottle directed at her head.
"What makes you think you can come in here?! Konoha scum." Anko eyes widen...
Flashback.
"You want your turn with her?"
Flashback end.
"Your that guy, you was with that guy that day." Anko said her head low, her bangs covering her eyes.. A deadly silence came over the place, before kurotsuchi looked at the black marks spreading over her friends neck.
"Interesting" she said to herself, still sitting down taking another sip of her sake.
"Yeah you bitch! I was there!" The guy said a shit eating grin spread over his face. "What you thought we died? We're jounins a little substitution and acting and bang."
Anko didn't speak. Just listened, the other jounins in the club just stood away, obviously not planning to stop the fight.
"It's a pity really, your tongue is so long.. We had fun with that. We didn't bother trying to fuck you afraid to catch something from your Konoha snatch." The guy kept talking, taking her silence as a sign of fear.
Bang.
He got knocked against the wall so hard he almost passed out, not before feeling a sharp knee to the jaw, a jab to his rib, an elbow to the head. Before being held up with one hand..
Kurotsuchi smiled looking at the scene, Anko was reeking of chakra, she looked at the marks and noticed it started to spread to her face.
Anko wasn't done driving a knee to his stomach making him cough up blood.
"What was that? I couldn't really here you." Anko said in his ear. The jounin smiled a little.
"I said, you have a long tongu-" before his jaw got broken with a leg sweep.
"What was that?" Anko said once again. The jounin held his jaw. Whimpering in pain.
"Go ahead, say it again." Anko asked. "Oh, you're not gonna talk?" Before punching him in the face, before another one. She kept that up until she was just pounding away, every punch sinking the officer more and more into the wall.
"That's enough Anko." Kurotsuchi said, holding the purple haired girl arm. Anko snarled, before getting up. Walking back to her table and sitting down taking another gulp of saké.
"Kurotsuchi-sama the Tsuchikage wishes to speak to you, you as well Anko-San." A Anbu said, before looking around, his gaze lingering on the pounded body of the jounin.
"Let's go Anko." Kurotsuchi said already walking out the door, Anko nodded walking after her.
"What happened here?" The Anbu asked. Everyone just shrugged their shoulders. The Anbu nodded before shaking his head and leaving.
"That was some weird power you have there." Kurotsuchi said. Anko nodded.
"What was it?"
"Something only the queen should ask me." Anko said. Kurotsuchi smiled already aware that Anko figured out that she herself was not the queen.
"Come on. The old man will probably have a fit if we get there late."
Anko nodded.
"So your asking us to help you invade the leaf village?! Are you mad, they've been are ally for almost 30 years. Why would we risk that?" The fourth Kazekage said.
"You and me both know your alliance is nothing more than a front. They've been taking your missions for the last decade because your damiyo thinks your village is unfit and weak. When was the last time Suna was giving any credit for anything? This could be your chance."
The fourth Kazekage narrowed his eyes.
"Your deal will leave us in ruins, you want out soldier but have offered none of yours. You're a new village you can't possibly think we can take down a super power like Konoha! What are your real intentions? To weaken us while you stay strong!" The Kazekage yelled.
"But you have something they don't.." The sound kage said.
"What exactly is that?"
"A jinchuuriki who can transform into his tail beast."
"Did you forget the fourth Hokage is still there. He defeated the nine tails and placed it inside his daughter, not only that he survived... What makes you think he won't stop the one tails."
"He'll have his hands full with me." The Kazekage shook his head.
"You talk like if you actually stand a chance against a ninja like the fourth."
Orochimaru cursed. This guy was putting up more of a fight then he thought, he couldn't fail here, his plan is perfect.
"You doubt my skills?"
"You have shown me nothing that proves me wrong, all you've shown is greed and stupidity."
"Are you sure?" It was too late the kuzanagi sword was already impaled through the Kazekage chest.
"I was careless." The Kazekage said coughing up blood, before hitting a button under his desk, no help came.
"Yeah , don't bother with that my men already took care of your guards." The sound kage said taking off his mask.
"Orochimaru." The fourth said.
"Ku,ku,ku. I wasn't planning on killing you so early, but plans change. So do me a favor and die already." Before yanking the blade out the fourth body.
A Anbu walked in.
"Orochimaru-sama, the place has been cleared." The Anbu said taking off his mask to show a pale skinned kid with two diamonds on his four head.
"Very good, Kimimaru." Orochimaru said walking over to the fourth and ripping his face off. "Be a dear and get rid of this body for me." Kimimaru nodded and grabbed the body and walked out.
Orochimaru smiled. 'Soon Konoha , very soon." He said as a small leaf grew from his finger.
"Get the fuck off me!" Naruto said before he got dropped on the floor.
"Calm yourself Naruto." Naruto eyes narrowed.
"Wait! Nanashi? Why the hell did you kidnap me! I would've followed you if you wanted me to -" before Nanashi put his hand over his mouth again.
"Be quiet you idiot!" Nanashi said, they stood still for a minute, before the sound of approaching footsteps came closer.
"You said you heard it come from over here? Where? I don't see nothing? Or feel anything."
Naruto narrowed his eyes Iwa nin. He looked around at the rocky terrain, the smell of sea in the air.
"I have a feeling we ain't exactly in Konoha anymore." Naruto murmured. Nanashi cursed.
"Who's there?!" The man yelled. Show yourself.
Nanashi pressed Naruto against the tree and Mouthed him a quite don't move. Nanashi walked out.
"You! Who are you?!" The Iwa nin said.
"A wandering merchant. I mean no harm." The Iwa nin seemed skeptical.
"Remove your mask." The Iwa nin said.
"That wouldn't be such a good idea." Nanashi said.
"I said remove your mask, before I spike my chakra and this thing will be full of ninjas." Nanashi nodded.
Reaching for his mask. The Iwa made one mistake, looked into the eyes.
He seemed to contort and expand before completely vanishing.
Naruto eyes were wide, what was that.
"I thought I told you not to move." Nanashi said. Naruto ignored him.
"Where are we?" Naruto said. Nanashi was acting weird. Nanashi didn't reply.
"Grab my shoulder and don't let go. It's too dangerous to walk." Naruto complied.
"Okay , but I want some damn answers." Before they were gone.
They appeared in a cave, the only light coming from a hole about 1,000 feet high. Naruto could hear water running but that was pretty much it.
"Wait here." He heard Nanashi say before hearing him walk off. Naruto narrowed his eyes, where were they, underground obviously but where underground?
Before the place was illuminated in a flash.
"Whoaa." The walls were full of gold that made the place bright, there was all types of diamonds and rubies and gems lying around.
"What is this?" Naruto said. The water he heard run was actually a lake.
"This place got created by the first Uzukage he called it, skyfall. It was here that was he gained complete control of the Tama. It was here where I myself came to train my Tama... And it is here where you would learn the truth about it." Nanashi said walking over the water and taking a seat in the middle of the pond.
"What do you mean gain full control? How did you find this place anyways? Not exactly something you run into."
Nanashi nodded.
"I was brought here."
"Brought here?"
"Yup by the Tama itself." Naruto looked confused.
"Huh? Your eyes brought you here?"
"Yes. Enough question it's time for you to listen."
"Listen to what?" Naruto said.
"Listen to Himitsu, the first Uzukage."
Naruto sweet dropped. "We really should hae cat scanned for shinobis these days. I think you lost it Sensei. That guy been dead for decades." Nanashi nodded.
"That's why I brought you here. Only here can its spirit be reached."
Naruto looked curious.
"How?"
Nanashi took his mask off. This was the first time Naruto has seen his Sensei face, he looked pretty normal, wait till he told Sasuke. Then his breathed hitch, he thought his Tama was weird but Nanashis was on a different level! They looked like a starless galaxy, almost looked like the northern lights got sculpted into them.
"These are the eyes Naruto... These are the eyes that every Uzumaki that has gained the Tama wanted. These are the eyes of someone in full control of their Tama." Naruto stood wide eyed.
"Your afraid? Good. You should be these eyes are nothing more then a curse. Now stand back."
Naruto did as he was told jumping a couple of feets back. Nanashi closed his eyes before touching the water at first nothing happened before unimaginable amounts of chakra began to spin around him.. Naruto closed his eyes and when he opened them we looking at the most beautiful woman. Her hair silky red ran down her body, she wore a white gown, creamy skin and if possible her eyes looked more powerful than Nanashi even though they had the same design.
"Hey there Naruto-kun." The woman said. "My name is Himitsu, I am the first Uzukage."
Naruto stood shock, their clan greatest warrior was a girl.
"Himitsu-sama! It's a honor to be in your presence." Naruto said a deep bow. He heard the sweetest giggle ever.
"Ain't you a little gentlemen." Naruto blushed at his kage mocking.
"Tell me Naruto-kun how did you find me?"
Naruto raised a eyebrow, "Nanashi didn't tell you?"
"Nanashi he's still around?" The kage asked confused.
"Yeah he brought me here, he said something about you'll tell me the truth behind the Tama."
"Truth huh? That lazy bastard, he could've told you himself... I don't sense the Tama in you though." The kage said. Naruto nodded.
"Yeah, that's because the nine tail fox inside me locked it, or stopped it, or blocked it. What ever it was it did." Naruto said.
"Why in the world will it do that?" Naruto shrug.
"It said something about it isn't a great a power as I think. And then it trailed off." The kage narrowed her eyes before walking forward. She wasn't wearing any shoes Naruto noticed.
"But you indeed have the Tama?" The Kage asked. Naruto felt power like never, it was almost suffocating. This was the strongest amount of chakra he ever felt and he had the kyuibi inside him, we'll half of it.. But still!
"Yeah, I activated it when I was 11, but I wasn't able to use it again till now, and I still can't use it at will, I have to be under a lot of stress or fear. But enough! I want to know about this curse."
The kage smiled. "Your just like him."
"Like who?" Naruto seemed confused.
"Ikiro-kun. Same fire in your eyes. But I only got a bit of time left anyways. The Tama is a selfish power, it gives but it takes even more."
Naruto looked confused.
"What I mean is, every single time you use those eyes of yours, your KI is sent out of whack." Himitsu smiled looking at the lost Naruto.
"It's your KI, ying and yang. Ying is your spiritual balance, this is the one that fuels your Tama. While yang is your physical energy, this powers the things you need to live like chakra. But your Tama was drawing out your ying chakra quicker then your yang can match causing an unbalance."
Naruto nodded. "This doesn't seem like to much of a curse more of a hindrance."
Himitsu nodded. "That's what I thought as well until I realized something. My movements became dull, my body felt numb after every time I used it.. The Tama is not your regular kekkei genkai... It tints your body... Causing an adverse effect on your mind."
"Still not a curse." Naruto said. Himitsu nodded.
"Tell me Naruto-kun, what will you sacrifice to save your family?"
"Everything." Naruto said. Himitsu smiled at the fire in his eyes.
"Then you wouldn't mind killing each one of them.." Naruto went wide eyed.
"Why would I do such a thing?!" Himitsu smiled. Before looking Naruto in the eyes. He felt it immediately, the vast amount of greed, hate, anger.
"Simple, because it'll want you too."
Naruto stood shock.
'It brought me here..'
"Nanashi said earlier that the Tama brought him here."
Himitsu nodded.
"The Tama it's a sentiment power, it affects the way you think, your mind, your body, it constantly feeds chakra to the elements around you before sucking it back... It's because the Tama is a being. A living weapon, capable of making you do things you never thought you'll ever do..."
"Then you fight back!"
"You can't. Because the second you activated them. Your fate was already decided. What you think brought you here? Only people the Tama wants is allowed in here. That person that brought you here was not Nanashi, but the Tama manifesting itself through him."
Naruto stood shock. And all this time he thought he had control.. He's been played.
"So what is our curse."
Himitsu smiled solemnly.
"Not ours Naruto, yours, you are probably the last Uzumaki With the Tama."
"Not true Nanashi-Sensei." Himitsu looked confused.
"You don't know?" Naruto shook his head.
"I swear this guy is a lazy bastard. But that's a complete different story Naruto. Your curse Naruto is something I hope doesn't develop for many years.. Your curse is death."
And just like that they were back in the gold filled cave.
"Nanashi stood on the water looking at Naruto his mask back on.
"Let's go." Nanashi said.
"Who are you? I mean, which one are you? I mean, dammit. Are you the Tama talking or my Sensei?" Nanashi walked towards him.
"I've answered enough questions today." Before grabbing Naruto and disappearing.
"You know Minato when I agreed to come on this mission with you, I had in mind a more logical approach."
Minato smirked looking over at the village of Iwa from his place on the mountain.
"Relax shikaku, we'll be fine." The lazy Nara sighed.
"Your a double S class criminal, wanted for killing more then half of Iwa shinobi during the war, they have a kill on sight order in placed for you and anyone related or knows you... Which in this situation is me." Minato nodded.
"They're still angry about that? My goodness talk about holding a grudge." Minato said scratching his head. Shilaku shook his head.
"So what exactly is the game plan?"
"I don't know. That's why I brought you." Minato said no signs of joking in his voice.
"I'm going back home." Shikaku said turning around.
"Can't do that. We're more then 4 days away from Konoha. There is about ten border patrol camps. Walking around any possible roads is suicide. We only made it this far because I left a hiraishin mark during the last war." Minato said looking over at the village.
"And you didn't think it was better to actually think of a game plan before walking into a village, that may I add doesn't really consider you a friend." Shikaku said. Minato nodded.
"I did have a game plan, bring Shikaku, he'll figure something out."
Shikaku sighed taking a seat.
"What are we here for?"
"Not to long ago, I got word from one of my spy's that Iwa did indeed still have some prisoners from when they raided uzu."
"So you want to break them out. Take them back to Konoha and hopefully impress kushina enough that she'll agree to go on a date with you." Minato nodded.
"Okay, only one problem. How do you plan to travel with such a large group when you said you only got here because of a old mark you left. 2, how in the world will we find where they are. And 3, why the fuck will you bring me, when I ain't a combat specialist."
"That's easy, I'll simply mark them with my seal before teleporting them away to a safe place, about four miles away from any border patrol. And we don't need strength, we need brains. Now tell me what you got?"
Shikaku smiled, "Still the same Minato. Well since you like being brash, here's the plan. You will throw a kunai into that tower you see right there. Once done, you will enter the village start a giant uproar, don't kill no one just try to draw the attention of the shinobi's and hopefully the Tsuchikage." Minato nodded.
"What will you do?" Shikaku nodded.
"How many prisoners did your spy say they have?" Minato rubbed his chin.
"He didn't give a clear number but around 17 people." Shikaku nodded.
"Give me 20 seals." Minato handed him a scroll. "Okay. Leave the rest to me. Lets call this mission, 'Sore o fakku.'"
Minato smirked. "Fuck it? Such a fitting title. See you on the other side." There was a flash and he was gone.
"Troublesome." Shikaku murmured before sinking into his shadow and sliding away.
"What?!" Kushina yelled.
"Now, now Kushina-chan it's not as bad as you think." Jiraiya said trying to calm down the red head.
"Your telling me! That Tsunade isn't coming back to Konoha because of bad memories?!" Jiraiya nodded. Kushina sighed she kind of missed the old hag.
"So your Hokage now huh?" Kushina said not a least bit surprise Minato will do something so stupid. "He really doesn't think things through."
"Never does never will. Like the time we went to Moon country for a piece treaty and refused the offer they made because they didn't agree to his plan of opening a ramen shop." Kushina smiled remembering she accompanied him on that trip.
"Or the time he went to the hospital in only his underwear because Nami and Naruto wanted to come out early. Hahaha, the doctors had to give him a gown because he refused to leave the hospital." Kushina said. Jiraiya nodded.
"You know Kushina that kid is still head over heels in love with you." Kushina smiled faulted a little.
"Yeah so what of it?" Kushina said.
"You should give him a chance."
"Already did."
"You know what I mean." Jiraiya retorted. Kushina said.
"Yeah, like you gave Tsunade?" Jiraiya lips perched.
"It's different."
"What's so different about it? Me and Minato are friends now, and it'll be awhile before that changes in any way." Kushina said before walking out.
Jiraiya sighed. Walking over to the window. Looking back at the paperwork.
"Your one lucky son of a bitch Minato. This is so going to cut into my research." Jiraiya said with fake tears coming out of his eyes.
"You called me Jiraiya-sama?"
"Yes, yes I did Danzou. I need your help with a little dirty work." Jiraiya said not looking back at the man.
Danzou smirked.
"How can I help?"
"I have recently ran into a dirty spy, I promised kimmy I'll go myself but things change. I need your root squad to kill this man, he has very valuable information that I need and I'm sure you could get it."
Danzou thought it over. "Why my ninjas? No faith in your enlisted shinobi's."
Jiraiya shook his head. "Far from it. It's just if the mission fails I can't have him trace it back to Konoha. Think of it as more if a deal. You get me the information, your squad get some play time."
"Fine. They'll leave immediately." Danzou said turning around and walking out.
Jiraiya took that minute to finally turn around.
'You have to many hidden tricks. That you think are hidden.' Jiraiya said.
"Stupid paper work."
Kisame smirked. They were now knee-deep in shit in yugakure. Literally. They were on a recon mission trying to find out the location of a secret of ninja said to have escaped.
"Wouldn't it have been better to just wait for him on the border ask him to join, and if he doesn't, we knock him out and take him anyways." Kisame said a little frustration in his voice. "This smell is fucking killing me!"
As usual Itachi stayed quiet.
"Get ready." Just in time a slick silver head man jumped out of the tree line, before he fell over unconscious landing on Kisame shoulder causing Kisame to slump over into the shitty swamp.
"Let's go Kisame, leader-sama wouldn't want us to waste time. We're still trying to stay a secret."
Shikaku sighed as he heard a giant boom.
"Never did learn how to control his power." Shikaku said shaking his head.
He was now under Iwa for a village that didn't see much rain, they had huge sewers.. Maybe they used this place as a source of evacuation if they got invaded, which in that case will mean..
"Fuck." Before turning sharply into a dark corner. Just in time too.
"Okay everybody keep in line. We're under attack by an unknown enemy, I need everyone to stay calm." A Iwa spec op said. The people we're in complete terror. There was reports of a yellower hair man launching Jutsu after Jutsu.
"Are we gonna be okay?" Asked a middle-aged woman, a kid clinging to get leg.
"Everything is under control, the Tsuchikage is heading to face the man now."
"Thanks Kami! We're saved." Was heard and everyone cheered.
"Coming through! Make way! Coming thru! Prisoners at hand! Watch yourself."
Shikaku sighed thanking god they didn't have any sensors with them. Then he heard it. 'Prisoners?' He thought. Poking his head out. They were a group of about 9 they seemed to be malnourished, and pale from lack of day light. Red hair, check, green eyes check.. Shikaku sighed.
'They're surrounded by freaking Anbu. It's times like this I really hate my job.' He thought to himself. Before playing his hands together and closed his eyes. Before snapping them open.
'Yup, no use. Guess we're just gonna have to do it the old-fashioned way." Before stepping out.
"Umm, I know it's troublesome but do you mind freeing my friends?" Shikaku said out loud. Immediately being surrounded by every single Anbu in the group. He smirked.
"So it's Konoha scum! Haven't you had enough after the last war." The Anbu said. Shikaku smirked.
"Funny. I was just about to ask you the same thing." That was it, they all tried to reach for their weapons but realized they couldn't move.
"Kage-kubishibari no Jutsu complete."
"What is this?!" One of the captured ninja yelled.
"This? To troublesome to explain fully. It's a shadow that strangles you." Before they all passed out.
Shikaku began to walk towards the group of prisoners. Amazed that they didn't show a single ounce of fear, must be a Uzumaki pride thing.
"I'm here in behalf of the Hokage to rescue you all. So if you'll please just place these seals on your arm we could get going." The group did it no questions asked.
"You trust me already?" All the Uzumaki shook their heads.
"No but Taiga is a sensor and if he would've felt any kind of lie in your voice his chakra would've spiked." A woman said pointing at a red-haired, green-eyed teen. Shikaku nodded.
"We'll see you soon." Shikaku said channeling chakra into the seals, and the group disappeared. He sighed.
"Why didn't you go with them?" Shikaku shrugged his shoulders.
"So this is where you've been Anko?"
Minato cursed dodging another freaking stone.
"I swear to god, when I get out this place-"
"If you get out this place." He was interrupted. He looked at the short blacked haired girl. Her pink eyes looking back at him.
"Yeah that!" Minato yelled avoiding another stone.
"Surrender or die." Kurotsuchi said. Minato smiled from behind his mask.
"You must be pretty strong if your Kage sent you to take care of me." Kurotsuchi shook her head.
"I wasn't. I was on a date with my friend when you decided to mess it up." She said rather calmly.
"Oh, I'm very sorry." Minato said. Before easily dodging a right hand.
"I knew I couldn't count on you Akatsuchi." Kurotsuchi said.
"I'm sorry kuro-sama but he's fast!" The big bodied man said. 'He dodged that less than a second before it connected.' He thought to himself.
"It doesn't matter anyways. I'll take it from here watch my back." Kurotsuchi said. Before jumping forward.
Minato smiled. Iwa had some good talent he thought. Easily batting away a fist, kicking away a leg sweep, and tilting his head to avoid a kunai. Kurotsuchi jumped back.
"Impressive speed you got there." She complimented.
"Thank you. Your not so bad yourself. You'll be great a great match for my daughter." Minato said.
"If you don't mind me asking. Who are? Your obviously just a distraction. You haven't destroyed or killed any shinobi's. you've stood in the same spot dodging and not retaliating. So this must mean your here with someone." Kurotsuchi explained.
Minato nodded.
"So where is the old man anyways? I thought his shrewd ass will be here by now." Minato asked. Kurotsuchi smiled.
"Right there." She said.
"Dust release: detachment of the primaries world technique."
Minato cursed realizing the predicament he was in before the cube exploded.
"What took you so long old man. Your back gave out again?" Kurotsuchi asked.
"You kids have no respect now a day." The old man said, before sighing.
"No damage. Nothing stolen. No one injured. No signs of entrance. What the hell was this guy doing here?" Onoki said to himself. Kurotsuchi shrugged.
"I gotta go meet Anko. I told her help evacuate the citizens. See you gramps." Before the girl disappeared. Onoki lips thinned taking a look at where the man was. Narrowing his eyes.
"Let's go Akatsuchi my back is killing me." The old kage said before being lifted into the hefty guys shoulders and jumping away.
Kurotsuchi arrived underground to kind it badly ruined. Some of the rocks fell off the walls and there was craters from an apparent fight. And in the middle of it all, was an unconscious Anko.
She ran towards the girl and sighed when she found a pulse. The purple haired ninja groaned.
"Anko listen to me! What happened?" She said holding her friends hand up. The purple haired ninja struggled but managed to catch a breath.
"Konoha." Before passing out.
"What the hell does that mean?! Anko wake up! Come on! Ugh!" Before picking the girl up and leaving towards the hospital.
"You look like you've seen better days." Minato said looking at the beat up Shikaku. "Tough opponent?"
Shikaku nodded. "You found the group?"
"Yeah I just sent them back with my clone." Shikaku nodded.
"So your mission doesn't end here?" Shikaku asked. Minato removed his mask and shook his head, before handing Shikaku a hiraishin seal.
"Thanks old pal." Before Shikaku disappeared.
Minato sighed falling on his back looking at the star filled sky.
"The things you do for love." Before disappearing in a yellow flash.
"Sir, everyone is accounted for, the only people missing were the 9 Uzumakis. According to the people a man came easily defeated the Anbu guards before he handed them something that made them disappear. He stayed behind and fought the ex Konoha woman and while the fight was hard fought. They said he out witted her and won, before he disappeared."
The Anbu said briefing the leader of the village.
"Why will they be interested in them? None of them had any strange abilities according to our IT department." Onoki said. Before sighing as Kurotsuchi barged in.
"How many times I've told you not to do that?!" Onoki said pissed off.
"No time. I spoke to Anko and I think I know who did this!"
"And who may I say was this person?"
"Not person, but persons. There were two. One serving as a distraction, the one you killed, and the other in charge of retrieving what ever they came to get. Anko didn't say much but she did say one word. Konoha."
Onoki eyes widen. People disappearing in a blink of an eye, a man takes on a village by himself... It can't be.
"I want Anbu patrolling the village! Look for any kind of DNA prints where the guy I killed was at. And most of all, send word to Konoha to send me a list of missions going near or into our borders."
"Hai." Before the Anbu left.
"You think you know who it was?"
Onoki shook his head. "No. But if I'm right we might have just missed the opportunity of a life time."
"Start talking Sensei." Naruto said stopping just as they entered the land of fire. Nanashi ignored him and continued to jump trees, before stopping.
"We should get going, your mother will be angry if you're not home in time for dinner." Nanashi said, Naruto didn't budge.
"Himitsu said something I didn't like. Apparently you've been hiding more then just your face for all these years. Who are you?! Are you even a Uzumaki!" Nanashi didn't look back at the boy.
"Why do you ask question that do not concern you?" Nanashi asked. Naruto didn't reply. Nanashi nodded.
"Let's go." Nanashi said. Naruto didn't budge.
"What happened to your family? Why do you have the Tama if your not a Uzumaki? Who are you?!" Naruto yelled. Nanashi stopped once again.
"Tell me Naruto, why exactly do you want to know?" Naruto took a minute.
"I need to know! I need to know why I'm cursed to be a danger! I need to see what you did wrong and what I could do right.." Nanashi nodded.
"Fine, I'll tell you."
flashback.
"Kaasan! No!" A 10 year old Nanashi yelled looking at the bleeding woman on the floor, her throat was slit, and her eyes gouged from her face. Nanashi stared in horror looking up at the man who did this, a Uzu Anbu.
"Your mom has something that belongs to the village of Uzu. Sad really to think that such a promising ninja like her will even consider going rogue... her husband was nothing more but a merchant." The Anbu said kicking a second body a man that appeared to be in his mid thirties. He fell on his knees.
"Now its your turn." Nanashi didn't move lifting his head exposing his throat.
"Do it you coward." The anbu laughed.
"Me a coward? You're an interesting kid."
flashback end.
"My mom was your grandfather sister. But she was different from all of them. Your clan was a family of élite warriors. They trained day to night, went to battle, all chasing the legendary eyes of Himitsu.. she was an outcast, she didn't like fighting, she thought power only brought problems.. she saw this herself when she saw her brother run himself to the floor training. She was a gentle woman, but then she got pregnant with me... with a merchant no noble clan, and the Uzukage thought it was unfit of an Uzumaki to be with anything less but noble so she ordered her to abort me.. she refused. The clan turned her back on her, she had her baby alone, she was kicked out the clan mansion, she lived with my father a asshole that only cared about selling money, he wasn't so bad he provided for us but besides that he wasn't much of a father. Your grandfather finally did it, he gained the Tama.. he quickly gained control of the clan and invited my mom back to live with them.. kaasan wasn't stupid she knew her brother meant well but not everyone shared his views.. so she refused."
flashback.
"Why not? Come on, you'll have food every day, your kid will get to grow up with the rest of the kids, he isn't a full Uzumaki so attaining the Tama will never happe but at lease he'll have the training, the pride, matter of fact I'll train him myself! Make him stronger then any one else." Kitako said smiling at his sister.
"You always where a dreamer Kitako-niisan. But we're fine, we have food on the table every night, and I think Nanashi should decide if he wants to be a ninja or not. Plus the Uzukage was clear on how he felt about me."
"Yes but father was never the most understanding guy. Don't worry he'll kick the bucket soon and I'll be the Uzukage and everything will be good again."
"Your being hard headed."
"Your being close minded Jamie."
"I'm fine."
flashback end.
"A month later we were banished from the village. Kasaan never gave a straight answer but I think it had something to do with grandpa being grandpa."
"So you are a Uzumaki." Nanashi shook his head.
"No I am not." Nanashi said. Naruto listened.
"There was a reason your aunt didn't return. You see Naruto, your aunt, she wasn't asked to leave, she was kicked, they ask her to have an abortion they forced her too.. grandpa was a rough man, way to strong, blinded by the power of the Tama he took an innocent unborn baby's life.. that day she awakened her Tama, everyone in the room was killed."
"Your not making any fucking sense! Who the fuck are you then? If your indeed not an Uzumaki that means your adopted." Nanashi ignored him.
"Your aunt ran away, a couple of days later, she came back with a kid in her hands and a man to her left. The mans wife died giving birth to the kid and he was traveling to Uzu to get the kid treated your mom found him and they came to an agreement, she would take the kid as her own, if he agreed to help her. That kid was me. When she went back to the village, no one questioned if it was hers because they didn't know, but your aunt was so protective of the kid they couldn't do anything but accept it. We lived together for many years and when I was ten, it happened. The Uzukage ordered my mother death for treason and going rogue, even if it was for three days.
flashback.
"Me a coward? You're an interesting kid." The Anbu said sliding his Anbu blade out, and made a slash. Nothing.
"Your a brave kid Nanashi." Nanashi opened his eyes to see Kitako standing over the dead body of the Anbu. "Now hurry up and go, there's more coming and they wont stop till your dead. But first do you trust me?" Nanashi stood amazed, at the smiling face of Kitako giving a small nod.
"This might hurt a little, but your mom would've wanted you to have them anyways. Open both your eyes wide." Kitako said grabbing the two eyeballs from the Anbu pants, "Bite down on this." He said giving him a cloth. Nanashi nodded doing as told. Kitako sighed before ripping the kids eye out before placing the other ones in.
"Use them wisely." Before Kitako touched his shoulder and he sunk into the air and disappeared. 'You'll never forgive me for that jamie hehehe, but you can't deny he's gonna need them.'
flashback end.
"Does Kaasan know?" Naruto said wiping a tear. Nanashi nodded.
"She was my fiancé at one time... Now let's go." Nanashi said grabbing Naruto shoulder and transporting them to the backyard of the Uzumaki estate." Nanashi fell on one knee breathing heavy.
"Nanashi-sensei! Your okay?" Naruto said helping his teacher up. Nanashi nodded.
"Just chakra drained." Nanashi lied. "Tell Kushina I'm going to sleep, I don't want to be bothered." Naruto nodded.
'There's two sides to every story, a kid plagued by darkness. But I understand. My mom grandfather curse was his cold heart, my grandfather curse was failure, Nanashi mom curse was losing everything, and Nanashi curse is darkness... so what will my curse be?'
Longer chapter for you twerps. This is my favorite chapter, so many sequences happening, and dialogue, plus some new information revealed we finally unmask Nanashi, Minato is out on a mission, Jiraiya the hokage, Kushina looking for Tsunade, and my girl waiting for me so piece out folks.
