"I see you are worried Hokage-dono." Onoki said, smiling as he looked up at the screen, man he hated kicking a man when he was down, unless it was Minato then it was okay. Minato ignored the old man, before turning back to the screen. Mei was actually a little sad, not because she cared particularly about the little Hyuga princess but because she lost her last boyfriend in a similar way.

"I wonder what happens next." The Raikage said as he looked upon the screen. Minato sighed as he pressed his hand against the armrest of his chair and sat up to look at the monitors.

"Guard, get me Kushina-san, also I want the head of the Hyuga clan to come as well, tell them is of immediate importance." There was a puff of smoke signaling the hidden Anbu departure.

"I thought we were not allowed to have guards in the room, if I would've known I was in a room filled with Konoha Anbu, I wouldn't have been so relaxed. This could be looked at as a possible assassination attempt." Onoki said, but he didn't seem to worried as he was still laying down looking up at the ceiling monitor.

"I hate to admit it but I agree Hokage-Dono. A kage that does not play by his own rules isn't to be trusted." Mei added, taking the situation more seriously then the old man as she sat up, and gave Minato a small glare.

"Shit your asses down, like if we didn't all know we were surrounded." The raikage said as he stood up and walked over to a random spot on the wall.

"You there get me a coffee, these exams are beginning to bore me, and I will hate to fall asleep." The Anbu released his clothing jutsu and bowed his head.

"Of course Raikage-dono." Before he disappeared. Mei smiled.

"Of course but it still doesn't change the fact that we are in hostile territory surrounded by enemies." The Raikage snorted.

"So I guess that sword guy on the roof next to your monitor is just a decoration?" The Raikage said smirking. Mei sweetdropped, before scratching her head and smiling.

"Well like I said, we are still in enemy territory. Ao you could come out now." Mei said as she looked at her jounin.

"Sorry Mei-sama, I tried my best to conceal myself, it was getting kind of boring up there."

'Myself, boring, propose.' Mei eye began to twitch. "Ao shut up or I'll melt you." She said smiling causing the men in the room to look at her as if she was crazy, except for Minato who was still looking at the monitor.

A knock on the door broke the awkwardness as Kushina and Hiashi Hyuga walked in.

"Hokage-sama I was summoned, if its because of the death of my daughter and the embarrassment that it has bestowed upon the village do not worry, my other daughter Hanabi will be a much better heir." Hiashi choked out.

"Jeez, and I thought we were bloody in the mist." Ao said as he looked at the Hyuga more specifically his eyes.

"I will suggest you keep both of your eyes off of me, Mist shinobi." Mei didn't miss the emphasis on 'eyes'. She was about to ask what she meant but was cut off.

"That is not the reason I called you here Hiashi, death is a part of the exam and your daughter was just another casualty." Minato said coldly, Hiahsi nodded.

"Forgive me Hokage-sama, I was not in the right to second guess you like that. But can I ask you a question? If not for my daughter, why was I called here?" Minato looked at the monitor.

"Kushina tell me, what exactly is Naruto carrying?" Kushina looked at him strangely before looking at the screen. "A scroll, he usually carries all his tools in it." Minato nodded.

"I thought he was using the Namikaze seals Nami gave him to carry weapons?" Minato said. Kushina eyes widened.

"You can't be serious! We got to stop him! He's not ready!" Minato nodded.

"I agree, but we can't interfere with the exams, especially since the Kages I have invited have already lost a lot more genins then we have. I am a fare leader, and like Mei said earlier I must read by example. Anyways, the reason I called you both here is because I need you two for when Naruto finishes his plan. From my understanding what that kid did was suck the knowledge out of Hinata head, so that means..."

"You can't be serious!" Hiashi said.


Ame group

"Are you sure he loved this girl? Its been like thirty minutes and still no blood has been spilled." Blood said sighing, as he kicked Kiba in the head when he felt him stir.

"You will kill him too if you keep hitting him like that everytime he moves." Sorrow said as she sat on a rock. Blood shrugged.

"What does it matter, he's out for the count, and this whole team is eliminated. All we have to do is make sure they don't wake up for the remainder of the exam." Blood said. Sorrow sighed.

"Can you not go a day without talking about killing someone? You make it sound so easy too, from what I've seen from the group from Konoha is that they will find us, what then? Do we kill all of them?" Sorrow asked.

"If we have too." Morn cut in not letting Blood reply. "Look the convoys finally coming." Morn said as he stood up and stretched. Before easily avoiding a blast of green flames that engulfed the whole area, including the bodies of team 8.

"Man he rather burn them all then let us take them, I like this guy." Blood said as he was beginning to free fall from the sky after avoiding the fire.

"Shut up Morn and look closely, the fire isn't harming them at all, but its basically burning the rock around them." Sorrow said as she sucked her teeth as she brushed her slightly scathed cloak.

"The man of the hour finally comes to save the day." Morn said as he watched the blonde head kid walk towards the body of Hinata.

Naruto hands clenched with every step that he took, looking over at the bodies of Shino and Kiba.

"Hinata-chan." Naruto said as he finally came to a stop, right over the unmoving body of Hinata, her eyes open and removed of all emotions, the once lavender eyes, no a pale white. He noticed the track suit he gave her was unmarked which meant there wasn't much of a fight. He slowly dropped to one knee and brushed his hands down her cheeks before he closed her eyes and laid her down straight. He closed his eyes, as he was beginning to feel a thumping in his chest, before his heart began to race, he could feel it pumping rapidly as his mine began to accept the reality of the situation. Then it hit him. Before his eyes snapped open and the Sekai glowed brightly.

"Who killed her?" Naruto whispered. Silver chakra began to pour out of his body.

"That was my boy Morn work? You like it? Don't worry we were gentle with her, she didn't feel a thing." Blood said as he bit his thumb, blood began out to leak out of the wound before it morphed into a spear. "Catch." Before he threw it at blinding speed.

"Morn you say?" Before he looked up, the spear disappeared into thin air.

Sorrow frowned, stopping that spear with just a glance. It looked almost like the technique he used during his fight with his sister.

"That's the move, a little toned down but that's the move." Sorrow said. Morn nodded.

"Blood you go in first." He turned his head to look at the red head and his eyes widen, blood was looking straight at Naruto.

"I can't move." Blood said. Sorrow frowned before she looked at Naruto and saw he was still looking straight at blood, the chakra around him beginning to become visible.

"Are you the one that did that to my friends over there?" Naruto asked as his eyes began to swirl. "And your name is blood, such a fitting name." Before he began to raise his palm. "My turm this technique is kind of new. Please bleed, blood."

"Tsuki no kaze(WINDS OF THE MOON.)

"BLOOD MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" Sorrow yelled her eyes allowing her to see what Blood couldn't.

"To late." Before Blood eyes widen. Half a second later Sorrow had to look away as a fountain of blood began to pour from the red head. before his whole body collapse into small square pieces.

"Sorrow get whats left of blood. We are leaving we could not possibly beat him here, we are at a disadvantage. I'll cover us." Morn raised his hands.

"Till we meet again Naruto. SHINRA TENSEI!" The move obliterated the earth. Naruto didn't bother moving. When the dust cleared Naruto was still where he was at the clearing around his untouched. The rest, a giant crater, Naruto stood on the only piece of land that wasn't sunken in, it looked like an island in the wake of destruction.

Naruto didn't bother looking around as he could already tell the Ame team was gone.

"I am impressed jailor, you managed to stay in control and finally test out the technique you perfected in wave. I didn't think you had it in you, that technique was impressive."

"Impressed? I guess that as much as I could ever expect from you right? I just cut a guy into a thousand pieces, in a fraction of a second, not only that I managed to compress the wind around him to the point that he couldn't move! Come on Bastard fox you got to admit that was pretty cool!" Naruto yelled.

""HAHAHA, and then when you asked, then you was like 'Morn you say? Please bleed, blood! HAHAHA I almost pissed my pants man, you ever thought about going into the acting business?"

'Thank you! Thank you. But now let's get serious, I used a lot more chakra then I wanted in that last technique, and especially the strain from keeping the Zaga fire under control. I do have a question fox.'

The Kyuubi snorted. "Let me guess? How exactly does that technique the kid use on Hinata work?' Naruto nodded. "Very well because you managed to surpise and entertain me, I will explain, but I promise you wont like it. The technique is more of an power given to those who have fathers eyes, father called it Humans Path, it grants the wielder the ability to read someones mind by sucking out their soul, by doing this he gains all information and experience of the person, at the cost of the persons life.'

"I see so even if I were to use that thing, theres no guarantee she will remember me." Naruto thought frowning.

"Even I do not know the answer to that question, that is an answer better suited for my other half. I'm sure she will still have some memories probably from early childhood, it all depend on how good the person that performed the technique is. He could've gone back a couple of weeks, or he could've gone back a couple of years to the earlier memory of you and took that much, who knows." Naruto eyes widen, this was the first time the fox ever addressed his other self.

"I rather have her alive, even if she doesn't remember me."

"You guys sure took your time to get here. Sakura I told you to get them and go get the others and I will meet up with you in three days, why are you all here?" Naruto said not bothering to look back.

"You did but you aren't in charge Nami is, and plus the others will get here shortly." Sakura said looking down at the ground, it didn't take much to realize what happened to Hinata.

"Naruto I know how much she meant to you but you have to let her go, lets get Kiba and Shino and head back to the Konoha side of the test." Nami said holding up Sasuke, who was looking at Naruto. The curse mark pulsing in his neck.

"Don't worry, I'm going to revive her using the gift Asura left me. The scroll of creations and life. Step back."

"You can't be serious Naruto, Nanashi said if you use that scroll you will be-" Naruto cut Sasuke off giving his rival a smirk.

"What you're worried for me?" Before he grabbed the scroll of his back and opened it. A triangular prism seal was in the middle, names going around the triangle, all signifying a name that has been brought back to life. Placing Hinata over the scroll he activated his sekai, he grabbed his blade and sliced his hand open letting the blood drop over Hinata head.

"I Uzumaki Naruto, second child of Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato, swear by to the god of death that in return for the life of this girl, my soul is his to command, after death." The scroll began to glow before Naruto chakra began to leak from his body and sink into Hinata's. It took about 3 minutes before the scroll stopped shinning and Naruto fell to one knee.

Nami, Sasuke and Sakura rushed to Naruto side and couldn't believe there eyes. Hinata was looking straight up at Narutp before her eyes shifted to them.

"Sasuke, Sakura, Nami. What happened? What are we doing here? Are we late for the academy? And who's that guy next to you?" Naruto smiled before whispering to the group that he'll explain later.

"I still have somebody else to talk to. I'll meet you in the Konoha section in 2 days." With that he grabbed his scroll swung it around his body and jumped away.

"Did Naruto just bring someone back from the dead?" Sakura asked. Sasuke nodded.

"At a price it seems, Hinata doesn't remember Naruto but she does us. This must be a side effect of the technique. Let's go, Pick Hinata up and wake up Kiba and Shino. We have teams to take out." Sasuke said before grabbing his neck.


Naruto sighed as he walked pass the last stone and entered the sandy shores of Suna.

"Where exactly are you going?"

Naruto frowned. "It is time to put my plans into effect, I will begin to avenge my clan but first I have a friend that I need to talk to first.'

"That mist girl you wouldn't take your eyes off?"

Naruto nodded.

"Yes, before I left Land of waves I made Tazuna an offer he couldn't refuse, I told him about letting Zabuza use the land of wave as a home and recruit missing nins, judging by the scroll Haku gave me when she gave me a hug today it tells me Zabuza has kept his promise, and acting as leader until I return."

"What about Konoha?"

"Like I said, the words Hokage and Naruto don't go in the same sentence. This village is not home, and now that Hinata no longer remembers me, I have no reason to not push forward with my plans. I will rebuild my village, avenge my people, and anyone who stands in the way of that will be cut down. Friend or foe."

"Nami will hate you. Minato will be forced to put you as a missing nin. Kushina-"

"Nami will grow up to be the next Hokage, Minato will not do that, I know that for sure. My mom won't allow it.
