Team 7 was now called Team Carnage and their symbol is Carnage and his name.
Vince had been training Lincoln, Laney, Naruto and Sakura in all fields over the course of 4 months. He taught them everything and more. Natsumi was released from the Seal and given some freedom and placed on Team Carnage. Naruto now can access numerous abilities from Carnage. Team Carnage now had power and energy levels far more powerful and stronger than all the most powerful Shinobi and Kunoichi in the world combined together 750 million times over. Sakura now has an extremely rare Kekkei Genkai called Flower Style and she has the ability to sprout glowing pink Butterfly Wings and has plant powers and has fairy friends that can control fire, lightning, water and wind.
Later Team Carnage was called in to the Hokage's office and he had a mission for them. They were given an escort mission.
Vince: So who is it that we are escorting?
?: That would be me.
They saw Shibuki, the Leader of The Hidden Waterfall Village.
Shibuki: My name is Shibuki and I am the Feudal Lord of The Hidden Waterfall Village.
Vince: Pleasure to meet you Shibuki. We are Team Carnage. I'm Vince Pusateri.
Lincoln: I'm Lincoln Loud.
Laney: I'm his little sister Laney Loud.
Naruto: I'm Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze.
Natsumi: I'm Natsumi the 9-Tailed Kitsune.
Sakura: And I'm Sakura Uzumaki Namikaze.
Shibuki: It's a pleasure to meet you all. Your mission is to escort me back to the Hidden Waterfall. You all can come in to the village and see it if you'd like.
Vince: Thank you Shibuki.
Lord Third: Shibuki was here in the village to discuss alliance treaties and mission funneling.
Lincoln: That's interesting.
Vince: All right lets go. Just so you know Shibuki I have been made leader of the team until our sensei Kakashi Hatake is back in the corps.
Shibuki: That's understandable.
They went to the gate and were off. They arrived at the Hidden Waterfall entrance in 2 hours and went behind the waterfall. They dove into the pools and emerged in the village. It was a true secluded village completely covered by a giant tree in the middle of a lake.
Sakura: Wow! So this is the Hidden Waterfall.
Naruto: It's a true secluded village.
Lincoln: It's amazing. From what I remember there are 9 True Secluded Villages in the 5 Great Nations.
Natsumi: That's right Lincoln.
They got to shore and decided walked around the village. Naruto's stomach growled.
Carnage: (Chuckles) We're hungry.
Naruto: Yeah.
Vince: Lets go find a ramen stand.
They found one and ordered some ramen.
Vince: (Slurp) (Gulp) Ah. That's good ramen.
Ramen Stand owner: Thanks kid. Most people write us off because we're a minor village and all.
Vince: I can believe it.
But the Hidden Waterfall was a village full of bias-motivated morons.
Crashing was heard.
Manager: GET OUT AND STAY OUT!
They saw a girl with mint green hair and white clothes run out of a shop.
Lincoln: What was that about?
They saw the ramen stand owner look at the girl with hate in his eyes. This was a look they know all too well.
Vince: (Whispering) That girl is a Jinchuriki, Naruto.
Naruto: (Whispering) Yeah bro. I know.
Natsumi: (Whispering) That girl has my sister Chomei inside her. I can feel it.
Sakura: (Whispering) We have to help her and see if we can get her out of here.
Lincoln: (Whispering) Yeah.
Ramen Stand Owner: Oh nothing that girl is a genin and she's been trouble.
They could tell that he's lying. After paying for their lunch they searched for the girl.
Carnage: That girl went into the big tree. I sense her.
Vince: I feel it too. Lets go.
They ran to the tree and looked around for her in the base. They saw her crying.
Naruto: Hey are you all right?
?: What do you want?
Vince: We saw your treatment and no one should ever be treated like that and from the looks of things you've had it bad as all Jinchuriki had.
The girl was shocked.
?: How did you know I was a Jinchuriki?
Naruto: I too am a Jinchuriki like you.
?: What number are you?
Naruto held up 9 fingers.
Naruto: Number 9 plus a bonus.
Fu: It's a pleasure to meet another Jinchuriki. I'm Fu the 7-Tails Jinchuriki.
Vince: Pleasure to meet you Fu. We're Team Carnage. I'm Vince Pusateri.
Lincoln: I'm Lincoln Loud.
Laney: I'm Laney Loud his little sister.
Naruto: I'm Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze.
Natsumi: I'm Natsumi the 9-Tailed Kitsune.
Sakura: And I'm Sakura Uzumaki Namikaze. We're from the Leaf.
Fu: Oh wow. That village huh?
Vince: Yep. I take it that you've had a bad life here in the Hidden Waterfall.
Fu revealed her background and it was horrifying.
Sakura: Fu that is awful.
Lincoln: I can't believe that people are just that consumed by their own hate, fear, ignorance and stupidity.
Laney: And people like that deserve to be destroyed.
Vince: Yeah. We have to get you out of here. It's not safe for you to be here anymore.
Fu: But where will I go?
Naruto: The Leaf Village. Everyone now respects me after my heritage was revealed.
Lincoln: We won't let anything happen to you Fu.
Laney: Yeah.
Fu: Thank you all. But how am I gonna get out? They'll try to take me back the minute I walk out.
Vince: First we'll tell Shibuki and then formulate a plan.
In Shibuki's office Team Carnage told him everything. He accepted and Naruto made a Shadow Clone that looks like Fu and it ran to the Northeast and the Waterfall ANBU chased after it.
Team Carnage and Fu ran towards the Leaf and they got there in 20 minutes.
Vince: We made it.
Lincoln: We sure did.
Carnage: I'm glad that Fu is out of that dump.
Naruto: You said it Carnage.
Fu: Naruto who said that?
Naruto: Oh that's Carnage.
Carnage revealed himself as a blob coming from Naruto's shoulder.
Carnage: Pleasure to meet you Fu. I am Carnage and I am what's called a Symbiote. A living costume if you will.
Fu: That is so cool.
Vince: Yeah. Lets go to the Hokage and file our report.
They did so and Fu was made a member of Team Carnage. She severed her ties to the Waterfall by slashing through the Waterfall Symbol on her headband.
Fu was never gonna be a Waterfall Ninja again.
After some more training was done 2 weeks later they were called in to the Hokage's office for another mission.
Naruto: So Team 8 has called in for back up?
Lord Third: Yes. Kurenai, Kiba, Hinata and Shino were given an escort mission to look after a bridge builder named Tazuna in the Land of Waves. Unfortunately he lied about the mission perameters because the Land of Waves is now poverty-stricken because of the ruthless mob boss Gato. He hired rogue ninjas to kill Tazuna too as it was reported by Kurenai. They had a run in with the Demon Brothers, Gozu & Meizu from the Mist and we suspect that there are more Rogue Ninjas under Gato's employ.
Vince: And Team Carnage will answer. Lets go guys.
10 minutes later they were off. Team Carnage spread their wings and they were off. They arrived in the Land of Waves 20 minutes later and found Kurenai fighting Zabuza in a thick fog.
Vince: Zabuza Momochi the Demon of The Mist.
Sakura: I had a feeling that he would follow after the Demon Brothers.
Lincoln: Me too.
Fu: And he trapped Kurenai in the Water Prison Jutsu.
Lincoln: Not for long.
Lincoln fired a blast of lightning and it hit Zabuza head on and he screamed in excruciating pain as he was electrocuted.
Zabuza disintegrated into a pile of ashes in 2 seconds and his jutsu vanished.
Carnage: Whoa! That was amazing.
Naruto: It sure was Carnage.
Vince: Nice shot Lincoln.
Lincoln: Thanks Vince. Zabuza is dead.
Laney: I can feel it. His energy signal is gone. But I sense another Chakra signal over in those bushes over there.
Vince: I got this.
Vince fired a ball of crystal and it went into the bushes and out of them came Haku Yuki encased in a ball of blue crystal.
Vince: Haku Yuki. Lets land.
They did so and landed by Kiba, Hinata and Shino.
Naruto: Are you all okay?
Kiba: Yeah. We are thanks to all of you.
Hinata: Naruto!
Naruto: Hey Hinata. I'm glad you're all okay.
Shino: Thanks Naruto.
Kiba: Man Lincoln that was amazing. You killed Zabuza like he was nothing.
Lincoln: Aw it was nothing.
Kiba: Hey where's Sasuke?
Shino: Sasuke was removed from the Shinobi program because of his mental instability.
Kiba: Whoa! I had no idea he was that damaged.
Laney: He's worse than ever Kiba. He thinks he's so entitled to everything that he deserves everything handed to him on a silver platter. He even demanded that Naruto hand over Natsumi so he can have the power of the Jinchuriki.
Kiba: What!?
Naruto: I was made the 9-Tails Jinchuriki.
Kiba and Hinata gasped while Shino was still.
Kiba: I knew there was a reason behind your bad treatment at the hands of the villagers Naruto.
Hinata: I've actually known about you being the 9-Tails Jinchuriki Naruto. My Byakugan saw a red-orange chakra inside you and I knew that it was the 9-Tails.
Natsumi: Actually Hinata. My name is really Natsumi. 9-Tails is a title.
They saw Natsumi and were floored.
Kiba: The 9-Tails is a beautiful girl!?
Natsumi: Yes. It's shocking to everyone.
Kurenai: I remember that Kushina-sensei told me that you and her were very close. Like sisters.
Natsumi: That's right Kurenai. Kushina was like a sister to me until that rogue Uchiha took her away from me.
Kurenai: I'm so sorry Natsumi.
Shino: The Uchiha have caused nothing but pure trouble and chaos over the centuries and they are a clan that needs to be forever eliminated.
Vince: I can't argue with that Shino.
Tazuna: I agree with you too Vince. I've heard alot about the Uchiha and the kind of trouble that they have caused.
Naruto: Yes. The only exception in the Uchiha is Mikoto Uchiha, my mom's best friend and sister. She hated the Uchiha for their evil ways and never wanted to be an Uchiha in the first place.
Kurenai: I know. Mikoto was a great kunoichi and I agree with her.
Naruto: I know. But Mikoto is still alive. I can sense her.
Sakura: I sense her too. I've known her since I was 4 and she is a much better mother than my former parents ever were.
Kurenai: That's for sure. Sakura I'm so sorry about your former parents. I'm glad they got what they deserved.
Sakura: It's all right Kurenai-sensei. But thank you.
Kiba: That must've been awful for you.
Sakura: It was at first but I got my justice when they were executed.
Vince: That's true. The Haruno's are now extinct and they were the primary cause of all of Naruto's pain and suffering.
Naruto: That's right.
Shino: I've always knew that Mebuki and Kizashi were harboring some really dark tendencies and agendas and they poisoned most of the Leaf Village with lies and deception.
Kiba: Those monsters!
Tazuna: I can't believe that they would cause all that corruption.
Vince: Yeah. Lets head to your house and rest for a bit Tazuna. We'll go after Gato when we're ready.
Kurenai: Okay.
Later at Tazuna's house Team Carnage and Team 8 were resting and eating Tsunami's awesome food and Inari was with them after Naruto talked to him. Vince, Naruto and Laney went to the Mist and they rescued Pakura and stopped the Bloodline Holocaust. Yagura was with them and so was a kunoichi named Suiren who was presumably killed during an event called the Tragedy of Yosuga Pass 6 years ago.
Sakura nursed her back to health and Suiren decided to become a Leaf Shinobi. At Gato's mansion they all destroyed the place and killed all of Gato's men and even Gato himself. They all found lots of scrolls on jutsu and lots of weapons and more. They also found numerous Summoning Scrolls and scrolls on Kekkei Genkai Jutsu and all the money that Gato stole. They even freed all his prisoners. After the bridge was completed Team Carnage, Team 8, Pakura, Yagura, and Suiren were hailed as heroes for saving them. In the Leaf they all filed their report and Pakura, Yagura and Suiren were made official shinobi of the Leaf. Tsunami and Inari now live in the Leaf too.
After 2 months it was time for the Chunin Exams.
