I don't own Naruto or any of its characters, I'm just a fan I enjoyed the anime but I love the fanfics even more, they made me fall for the whole franchise.

Chapter 86

"He said that did he? I told Hiruzen that he should leave the boy under my care. I would……" Danzo paused in the middle of giving his iconic speech when Jiraiya of the Sanin raised a hand to tell him to stop.

"If you were left in charge of Naruto's care we would be in a worse position than the one we find ourselves in now." The Sanin spoke matter of factly while Danzō revealed none of his irritation at the grizzly of a man for interrupting him.

The two men were located in a room With Kakashi Hatake, Yamato 'Senju', and two of Danzo's chosen Investigation members sporting plain white porcelain masks. Jiraiya gave the masks a long look before pointing at the member of Root with auburn-coloured hair.

"The Hokage has ordered you to destroy and or change the design of your Root masks. Naruto cannot find out that the masks he found in whirlpool are in any way connected to Konoha." Danzo raised an unimpressed eyebrow at that little tidbit of information given by Jiraiya which came straight from Hiruzen Sarutobi himself.

"Remove your masks." Jiraiya ordered as he stared down the emotionless Root agents not willing to have a dick-measuring competition with Danzō. His Godson was lashing out or at least that is what the third Hokage was calling it but the old man's answer was more lies and secrets. Jiraiya had no ideas of his own, the most obvious was to tell the blonde the truth and hope for forgiveness but Jiraiya could not bring himself to have that conversation and he thought he never would.

"Is this a joke?" Danzō asked in a dangerously low voice. "He is a child and a member of the Konoha Shinobi program. We care not what he thinks, feels, or wants." Danzō spoke harshly, his cane tapping the floorboard once. "I will not have my actions be dictated by the feelings of one child, no matter his status." Jiraiya's jaw tightened and he walked forward to stand In front of the two Root operatives while he ignored Danzō Shimura's existence.

"Remove your masks or I will remove them myself." The white-haired Sanin said threateningly not looking at Danzo but at the two Root members he was ordering to remove their facial accessories.

"Fū, Terume, Take them off." Danzō spoke emotionlessly though he was inwardly fuming at the thought of being undermined in front of his subordinates. The two Members bowed at the hip to their 'true' Kage before straightening and removing their masks simultaneously.

On the right was the Auburn-haired male named Fū of the Yamanaka Clan. Fū's appearance was that of a regular Konoha Anbu, with a white cloak and plain white porcelain mask With the mask removed he was shown to be a young man with amber eyes. He wore a short black jacket with red straps on the shoulders like all members of Root which shows allegiance to the organisation.

The Yamanaka with questionable alliances wore a red short kimono under the jacket with a black sash, a pair of black gloves, dark-colored pants, and regular shinobi sandals.

On the left was Torume Aburama, a fairly tall and lean-built man. He had fair skin and short spiky dull black hair. After removing the mask, except for a small area around his nose and mouth, his features are hidden under a mask with shades on his eyes.

The glasses were built into the mask obscuring his eyes like other members of the Aburame clan. Terume was heavily clothed like other Aburame clan members. He wore a short black jacket with red straps over the shoulders. He wore a high-collared, all-black outfit with a red sash around his waist and carried several pouches with him while wearing a pair of black gloves.

"Fū Yamanaka and Torume Aburama." Jiraiya said knowing who the two members were after a quick meeting with the copy Nin who sat comfortably on a chair and beta'd one of his new novels. The silver-haired Jōnin was full of exciting ideas and ideas for 'love' scenes to share with the Sanin.

"Destroy those things." Jiraiya said with a final look at the two Root members before walking out of the room, not interested in Danzō Shimura.

"Well then." Kakashi jumped off his seat with a snap of the unreleased book shutting before walking forward and standing next to Fū. Yamato stood from the chair he sat on to stand next to Terume and they all stared forward waiting to hear Danzō's plans on how to snuff out the elusive Crime Lord of Konoha.

Kakashi had his assignment and so did Yamato, Both Jōnin had already served under Danzō before at one point or another in their lives so they understood that the man was a perfectionist and would talk your ear out if you did anything differently.

"I want to know every detail of this investigation." Danzō spoke and his root subordinates stood straighter while Kakashi slouched comically at the thought of the long speech about to follow.

"Hiruzen has gone senile and delusional, I am the only one able to fix his mistakes………." Danzō began and Kakashi's hand twitched toward his favorite work of art.

««««««"»»»»»»

The two Konoha Genin lovers moved as one as they fought against the Jinchuriki of the one-tailed Tanuki. The three Chūnin hopefuls were located close to the faux lake of the arena locked in a deadly battle for survival.

The crowd cheered and chanted for their favorite contestants, Those who did not bet on them were feeling a bit down but watching people beat each other up always lightened one's mood.

Hinata jumped and performed a downward sword strike while applying all her force to the strike. Gaara's crazed yellow eyes looked panicked as he shot his sand arm at her from a distance. The Jinchuriki was being pushed back by the two highly skilled Genins from Konoha, so it began fighting somewhat smarter as it used all its advantages in the terrain.

"Water style: Katana Slash!" The Hyūga Heiress exclaimed cutting down the sand arm with a crescent-ranged attack of sharpened water. She jumped to the left to dodge Gaara's other morphed arm and that was when Naruto jumped in as he dashed toward Gaara in a mad sprint while he held a fast rotating ball of Chakra called the Rasengan.

"Rasengan!" Naruto exclaimed.

"RAAAASSEEENGAAAAAAANN!!" Some members of the crowd chorused along with the blonde.

Gaara growled while his deformed mouth leaked saliva, he shot his arm forward and the clawed appendage stretched toward Naruto with great speed and force behind it. The blonde raised the hand holding the famed Jutsu and placed it in front of him to meet the razor-sharp hand coming his way while continuing his advances.

Their attacks met in the middle with Naruto's technique gaining ground as it broke apart Gaara's sand arm and blasted grains of sand everywhere while he kept on his mad dash to reach him only much slower due to the force pushing him back.

The deranged boy grinned menacingly when his other arm finished reforming itself. He immediately sent it towards the blonde, Ready to punch him with the big fist his sand formed.

"Eight Trigrams: Vaccum palm!" Gaara's approaching arm got knocked off target by Hinata's technique and Naruto did a spin to the side to find himself opposite the sand arm that shot forward without him pushing it back. The blonde picked up his speed and ran toward Gaara with his A-Rank jutsu still in hand.

"HEEIIIYAAYAYYAYAYAaaa!!!!" The crazy boy screamed and stepped his right foot down.

"Left!" Hinata called out and Naruto twirled to the left, A second later a sand spike sprouted in the Uzumaki's previous location. Naruto didn't even slow down. "Right! left! front flip! left left! right! left!" Naruto listened while acting in the same breath and because of that, he can one day say he did something that cool.

Gaara watching Naruto spin and twirl away from every one of his attacks growled when the blond was 7 feet away from him. He brought both his arms up high before bringing them down on the ground with great force.

"Come back!" Naruto stopped immediately and jumped back as he summoned a clone and sent him on a collision course with the sand Tsunami coming toward him.

Boom!!!

"Hime!" Naruto called out and Hinata dashed passed him with a gust of wind blowing his hair forward. The swordswoman began performing her new technique, while Naruto got into a sprinter running position with his Rasengan fading away.

"Attacking Eight Trigrams: four streams square formation!" Hinata unleashed small streams of Chakra with every swing of her blade with the thin lines of Chakra slicing a square-like opening in the center of the sand Tsunami.

Hinata's hair blew forward when a gust of wind followed after her lover who held another Rasengan in his right hand. Naruto jumped diagonally to the ground while spinning like a screw to go through the opening she created and reached Gaarain seconds.

"RASENGAN!" The crowd chorused just as Naruto did after leaving the sand Tsunami behind him.

Naruto shot his arm forward and the blue ball of spinning Chakra made contact with Gaara's chest which was also covered in a thick layer of sand. Naruto still spinning had his ball of chakra cause more damage to the Auburn-haired boy.

Hinata turned on her heel and sprinted left toward a tall tree and ran up its surface to reach its peak.

"REEIIIIYAAAAAAAAAAA!" Gaara cried out in pain when the Rasengan grated away all his sand armor and reached his flesh. The Auburn-haired boy began spinning like a fan before getting blasted off a couple of meters bouncing off the ground, consistently toward the lake. Naruto stopped in his tracks and four clones appeared before disappearing like illusions.

Gaara spun in the air but his durability was nothing to scoff at due to his status as a jinchuriki so after regaining his balance he twisted and landed on all four, his wounds already beginning to heal. He used his deformed sand arms to slow down his momentum and created trenches with his claws in the process.

"U!" Gaara received a kick to his Chin that raised him in the air. "Zu!" Another kick to the back to raise him further up. "Ma!" Another Kick and Gaara got restless with his crazed mind reminding him of what happened the last time he let the blonde send him skyward. "Ki!"

Boom!!!

Gaara was sent flying by the explosion, and this time he was ready for the Hyūga Heiress as he had the sand surrounding his entire body in sand spikes. "Hinata!!" Naruto exclaimed the Name of his new combination attack and Hinata who was swan diving toward Gaara feet first, began spinning rapidly to form her clan jutsu.

"Eight Trigrams: Palm revolving heaven!" Hinata's dome of Chakra made contact with Gaara and Grinned away at his sand spikes before meeting him and blasting him toward the waters below.

There was a splash before a four-point barrier covered the whole area of the lake in its yellow hue. Hinata landed on the barrier with an elegant last twirl and her technique faded, her Katana being nowhere in sight.

Naruto jumped on the barrier before running to Hinata with a grin on his face, he got right behind her with their bodies touching and placed His right cheek against her left one. The blonde's arm snaked around her waist with his palm resting flat on her stomach and he moved in.

Hinata got a big kiss on the cheek a second later and he made her happy by saying. "I'm proud of you." In a whisper.

Hinata raised her left hand and placed her palm on his left cheek to caress them with love and affection as she said. "That's a good boy." In a whisper with a beautiful smile forming on her face and a big grin forming on her Naruto-Kun's whiskered face which she could tell because of how far his cheek stretched.

Gaara came out of the waters with an exaggerated panic as his hands smacked the lake in a poor attempt to swim, he was born in a desert after all. The added features Gaara sported looked muddy with some parts dropping down in the lake revealing his normal appearance.

The Jinchuriki pushed himself up to stand on the lake surface and look up at the Two Genin above him.

The crowd cheered.

««««««"»»»»»

"Sasuke-Kun has always been introverted, even more so than Itachi-Kun was as a child." Mikoto Uchiha said softly to Izumi Uchiha who nodded as she listened. She too knew that Sasuke was a very introverted individual. The Raven-haired Genin would rather not say anything about what bothered him personally and would instead swiftly try to resolve it the quickest way possible when it became a problem later.

"When he was a toddler he wouldn't let anybody touch him outside his immediate family members. He would push and shove my face away every time I tried to hold him b-but when Itachi held him he would give a joyous laugh." Izumi spoke sadly, the thought of Sasuke falling to the curse of the Uchiha Clan made her feel sorry for Mikoto, as a mother having to go through that.

"I do not know how I did not notice before. He sleeps at home every day, and eats breakfast and dinner at my table, so how, could I have not noticed my son changing." Mikoto asked with a voice that came out as a whispered cry. It got drowned in the commotion going on in the arena but Izumi picked up on her words.

"Itachi-Kun once told me Sasuke-Kun only lets his true emotions out when Naruto-Kun is involved." Izumi said taking Mikoto's hand in her own and giving it a reassuring squeeze. "I-I think who we saw today is the real Sasuke-Kun." Izumi spoke truthfully, She knew the words were not what Mikoto wanted to hear let alone Itachi but she thought of herself as an honest person and wanted to be honest with the woman who accepted her into her family.

"Maybe you are right, I will go talk to him." Mikoto said before standing from her seat and walking away in search of her wayward secondborn. Izumi watched the woman go before looking down and rubbing her stomach soothingly.

"You will not fall for that curse will you?" She asked.

««««««"»»»»»»

Shisui Uchiha sighed for the hundredth time today, feeling like he was missing out on something great but he had his assignment that got more and more annoying by the hour.

"The both of you sit here and think about what you've done." Shisui berated the two teenagers he caught stealing from a stand selling apples. The Uchiha barely turned to give them his back before the kids tried to make a run for it. They barely took a step before they were seated once more by the fast Shinobi.

'A street cop.' Shisui sighed again after tying the two boys up with Ninja wires. "Try to escape now." He said with some cheer because he low-key liked catching bad guys. The Policeman turned around and looked at his surroundings.

Shisui was located in the market district of Konohagaru, it was busy today with tourists and locals alike buying whatever items gained their interest from locale products to foreign goods.

There were clothes, fabrics, cooked foods, raw ingredients, and foreign goods being sold including some knockoff Naruto Uzumaki action figurines without the Original toy's amazing features. Shisui was antsy to know how the blonde menace was doing in the exams, There was a time when Shisui thought he heard the blonde's name being chanted, but he chalked it up to his imagination.

'I'm sure those two will put on a great show, they never give up.' Shisui thought with his mood brightening somewhat at the thought of his two little brother figures duking it out. The Uchiha Jōnin was far from the stadium and could not tell what was going on therefore he planned on getting the recorded images of the fights.

'It would have been much easier with my old post……' Shisui's face became dreamy at the thought of his old title. "Investigator Shisui Uchiha….." Shisui sighed it out like a nice breeze in the sea, really exaggerating his lip movements to sound it out.

"Thieves Thieves!!" Shisui shook his head and groaned before running toward the civilian male crying out for assistance. Reaching the black-haired male with brown eyes, as well as creases on his forehead, nose, and under his eyes so fast the victim almost fell back when the Jōnin police were in his face.

"Which way did they go?" Shisui asked quickly and the panicked man pointed toward a crowd. "What did they take?" He inquired again using the term they because the man cried 'thieves'.

"My money!!" The civilian shouted at the Uchiha and Shisui cleaned his ear with a finger.

"Anything specific about them?" The Uchiha asked and the civilian gulped a little.

"Well…. One is the honorable grandson." The man said softly all of a sudden feeling like he was committing a grave error.

"Okay." Shisui simply said before running off in the direction of the crowd and squeezing in.

The victim raised his hand as if to call back the police officer but the man was already gone, The hand dropped while the 'victim' walked up to his stand and placed his elbows on its flat surface to bend his arms and raise them to support his face.

"The Hokage is going to send his Anbu to 'take care of me' so I don't stain his great Clan name." The man's shoulders began to shake as he started sobbing quietly.

"B-but M-maybe it was not the honorable grandson, what if I was caught by a random genjutsu that missed its target." The civilian thought with horror when he thought that just might be the case, Konohagaru is a Hidden village after all.

"Police-San! Police-San!!" The civilian ran into the crowd a minute later with tear stains on his face.

"I WAAAANT TO DROP ALL CHARGES!!" He screamed shocking some people next to him.

«««««««"»»»»»»»

"Ha ha hahaha ha ha….!!!" Konohamaru ran as fast as he could while laughing his small head off. Next to him was who appeared to be the Diamyō of Wind Country's son laughing along.

"Man that was awesome!" The boy said as he balled his fists and swung his bent arms down in excitement. "Come on, let's go buy that toy." The Heir to Wind Country said even more eagerly to his new friend Konohamaru Sarutobi while they turned into another street.

Konohamaru grinned as he ran and did jumps and flips over obstacles because that is what Ninjas do. Spotting a bin in his way, Konohamaru jumped on top of it and performed a tiger tail flip to land back on the floor with a roll and continue his run.

Crash!!!

Konohamaru skidded to a stop at the sound of the ruckus and looked behind him only to find his new friend eating the pavement. The academy student snickered, pointed at the boy who was about to cry, and finally laughed in hysteria at his friend's predicament.

"Hahahahahaha….HAAAA…HAHAHA!!" The boy is a civilian and Konohamaru was all too happy to encourage him to do everything he did. The grandson of one Sarutobi Hiruzen turned on his heel and prepared to run but stepped on his scarf and slipped.

"Aghhhhh!" He screamed before he too met the pavement with a smack. He quickly got on his butt and looked at his friend and sniffed. The heir to Wind Country pointed and began laughing in hysteria, still leaking tears.

"You fell harder than me Yaru!" Konohamaru was now in tears because of the painful fall but he too pointed at his friend and began laughing in return. Both naughty boys were unwilling to admit their pain even though their tears made it obvious.

A few minutes of crying and laughing later the two boys dusted themselves off and began running once more toward their destination. Konohamaru and 'Yaru' had become fast friends because of the unique character trait they shared with their hero The Great Naruto-Sama.

They liked being menaces to society.

"I'm telling you yoh, He painted the whole Monument and defeated a bunch of Shinobi! All when he was still in the academy. I was there!!" Konohamaru lied about being at the scene because saying that would give his story more credentials.

"Uncle Asuma even got caught in a trap, he was stuck to the pavement for three hours straight yoh!" This time Konohamaru smirked because he had proof, Digging inside his ninja pouch he pulled out a photo that had been circulating and showed Yaru.

"Woah cool!" The boy said while he grabbed the photo from Konohamaru and began examining it intently. There were 8 other Shinobi in the photo also stuck to the ground with glue and showered in powder.

"Yoh! Don't mess it up, that is a family hair- heirloom I'm keeping for my grandkids." Konohamaru said with a panicked expression when the heir to Wind Country tried to fold the photo up.

"Ay! You two come over here." Konohamaru and Yaru turned to see who was calling them and they grimaced at the sight of the adult but Konohamaru showed horror at the sight of the uniform the man wore and the badge on his shoulder.

"RUN YOH!" Konohamaru said as he turned around and began running away. "It's the red and blue!" The honorable grandson shouted out before knocking into someone and falling on his butt. "Ouch yoh!" The academy student whined while rubbing his sore nose.

"Ko-Konohamaru what do we do?" Yaru asked in fear as he shook in his boots. He is a foreigner and the thought of getting caught stealing in a foreign village made him fearful of the consequences.

"Do you know who I am? I can have you sleeping outside and penniless by this time next week!" Konohamaru threatened, trying to use his status to get out of trouble like he usually did.

"You are under arrest for suspicion of stealing, Please come quietly, everything you say and do from now on can and will be used against you in a court of law." The officer recited and Konohamaru blinked.

"Wait what?" The Sarutobi questioned.

««««««"»»»»»»

Hiruzen Sarutobi watched intently as Naruto Uzumaki pulled out a scroll and brush before taking a sit on the barrier surface. The blonde began scribbling something none of them were privy to except the Hyūga Heiress and Hiruzen's right hand balled into a tight fist.

'It was her all along, not the Yamanaka.' Hiruzen wanted to pull out his pipe to perform his calming ritual because he was absolutely furious. He could not let Naruto leave the village, he was too valuable to the village, not just as a Jinchuriki but as a Fuinjutsu practitioner as well.

"What is he doing Hiruzen?!" Rasa's panicked voice questioned and Hiruzen looked at the man from the corner of his eyes. Rasa had been jumpy and absent-minded throughout the Exam finals and With every minute that passed he became even more so, Hiruzen found it suspicious.

"I do not know Kazekage-Dono." The third replied evenly, he too was curious as to what the blonde planned on doing with the fuinjutsu formula he was writing down but if the third took the Talk Anywhere You Are tag into account then the possibilities were endless.

"What are you plotting Hiruzen, why have the boy act at defecting the village?." The Raikage asked and Hiruzen looked to the man with a smile that he hoped fooled him.

"The boy just wanted to cause some controversy before revealing his invention Raikage-Dono." Hiruzen lied but A narrowed his eyes in suspicion. "You know what they say, all publicity is good publicity." The Hokage finished and the Raikage nodded though it was obvious he was still suspicious and didn't take Hiruzen's words at face value.

"Don't tell me you don't know! If that boy is doing anything suspicious to my Jinchuriki's seal I will hold you responsible." The Kazekage began to threaten but the Raikage scoffed and Rasa looked to the dark-skinned man with furious eyes. Hiruzen refrained from talking, still quite occupied with his thoughts and plotting.

"Namikaze can do whatever he wants." A said and folded his muscular arms. "Entering 'Your son' in these exams left him at the mercy of every other contender to have entered, too bad one of those contenders is an Uzumaki." A finished and Onoki smirked at the Kazekage while the man growled at the truth being thrown back in his face.

"He seems to have finished." Onoki informed and they all looked to the feed showcasing the Uzumaki stand back up.

'I can't let him leave the village, The child of prophecy needs to be on Konoha's side or we are doomed.' Hiruzen thought with finality, all he could do now was hope his plan worked. The Sarutobi clan head left it up to the new generation to convince Naruto to stay and if they failed Hiruzen would have to take extreme measures.

'If it comes down to it I will have to break my promise Shisui, and have you use your gift one more time for the sake of the village.' Hiruzen Sarutobi thought with a sad look making it to his visage.

«««««««"»»»»»»»

'What is that brat doing!?' Orochimaru thought with some worry, the plan needed Gaara to cause chaos so that Konohagaru's forces could be stretched thin. Add in the Suna Shinobi and that chaos will only amplify tenfold, and placing his experiments in the mix will have Konoha at a disadvantage. Sky country joining will be the final nail in securing his victory.

'After all the planning and preparations I did, I could not postpone the invasion because of unexpected inconveniences.' The Snake Sanin was giddy, the Invasion would be starting in a few minutes. He did not expect a Five Kage Summit or a 9 man free for all but he had a month to prepare for all of that and he did.

The Sanin watched the feed with extra attention trying to peak at what the Uzumaki wrote. The boy was conversing with the Hyūga Heiress and Orochimaru hated that the feed was silent. The Sanin looked to Itachi Uchiha and felt his heartbeat increase at the prospect of getting his hands on the man's eyes.

'Sakura-Chan might not be able to awaken the Sharingan but implanting the dojutsu into her might be all it takes for her body to copy and replicate it.' Orochimaru shivered in glee and excitement at the thought of the perfect body and how it would be his in a few years.

'Oh, the joys of science.' Orochimaru wanted Sakura Haruno no matter what, the girl was the key to all he ever wanted to know and learn. He used to think it was the Uchiha but the girl's existence proved him otherwise, Orochimaru had faith that Kimimaru had completed his mission without a hitch. The next thing for him to do is capture Itachi with the help of Guren.

'The icing on the cake.' The Sanin grinned despite himself.

«««««««"»»»»»»»

Located in a giant bunker in an unknown location Shinnō, the leader of Sky country stood facing his man. He had his arms folded behind his back with his chest out and posture stiff.

Shinnō was all smiles today and so were his brainwashed victims turned Sky Ninjas.

"GET READY! Today counts as the beginning of the Leaf Village downfall!" Shinnō bellowed with a big grin on his face, all his soldiers were eager for revenge they had no part of.

"The hypocrisy of the Leaf village will be revealed today and so will its judgment be done. No matter how much those pests fight back, no matter how long this war lasts, we, SKY COUNTRY! will be triumph and only then will we be able to wash away our sins by bathing in the blood of our enemies!!" A bit graphic but the platoon of 300 Sky Shinobi cheered with a boom and optimistic optimism.

"Ready the One tail battery, ready the epicenter of Shinobi warfare! Make haste for the taste of victory is nai in our grasp!!! Ready The fliers!" Shinnō turned around and rubbed his hands with a dastardly smile forming on his visage.

"I will piss on every one one of their graves." He whispered devilishly.

«««««««"»»»»»»»

Baki stood in front of a door and knocked on it twice before grabbing the handle and turning. He stepped inside when he pushed the door open and spotted Temari located on a sit next to the bed occupying Kankurō who was now awake and bandaged up.

"Temari Your assignment began 5 minutes ago, Get to it." The Jōnin commander of the Suna forces jumped straight to business which made Temari turn to face him and growl.

"What are you talking about Baki-Sensei, we are outmatched, what is the point of continuing with the plan…" Temari growled out in a whisper and Baki frowned with his eyes narrowing. Kankuro squeezed the hand in his grasp a little and gained Temari's attention before speaking.

"You have your mission big sis." Temari's head turned around so fast you would think she would snap it just to look at Kankuro like he was stupid.

"They have a wood-style user Kankurō!" Temari shouted at her brother in disbelief. "I saw Jiraiya there as well, and Kakashi Hatake, and Itachi Uchiha!" Temari was starting to make an ugly face as she got angrier at the stupidity her life had become ever since her father decided it would be a good idea to turn his youngest into a jinchuriki.

"Go Temari-Chan." Kankurō said softly and with a smile on his face. Temari looked at him for a long minute before sighing in defeat. She looked to Baki and growled.

"When I become Kazekage I'm degrading you to Genin." She threatened as she stood from her seat and walked toward the door, even knocking Baki with her shoulder in the process.

"Good luck Temari-Sama…" Baki grumbled and sighed hoping it wouldn't be the case when she became Hokage. The hat was only passed on to members of the Kazekage bloodline and as the firstborn, Temari Kazekage was next in line for the position.

"Baki Sensei what do I have to do?" Kankurō asked and Baki wished he had an answer. A wood-style user meant Gaara was not an entity they could count on for too long. At the maximum, he could give them a thirty-minute show but after that, he could be subdued.

"You head to our messenger in the market district and tell her to tell the first platoon to start causing chaos at the entrance then rendezvous with the sound five to coordinate with them." Baki dictated and Kankurō stood up trying to hide his pain in the process but the kid was a good soldier so Baki would respect his decision to stay active.

The door closed and Baki rubbed his throat a few times before turning on his heel and opening the door to step outside the infirmary room. Baki walked away heading toward his own assignment and left Kankurō in the room to get battle-ready because they were the big storm coming to cause a disaster.

«««««««"»»»»»»»

"Naruto-Kunnnnn……" Hinata stressed out the name and stared at the blonde putting out some very suspicious emotions. The blonde blinked though Hinata wouldn't know that, What she did know was that he was now second-guessing whatever it was he planned on doing.

"Oh, Hime. Haha, you see the thing is... I-I just wanted to do a little experiment." Hinata narrowed her eyes at the bad attempt of a lie and Naruto began feeling fear with his emotions telling her he was about to tell the truth.

"I was going to force Gaara to go full-tailed beast mode….."He whispered and Hinata's eyes widened in shock before looking at the blonde like he was crazy.

"It would be just for a second…" Naruto said quickly before kicking an imaginary pebble or something and continuing. "I really want to fight a tailed beast, Hime!! Please let me, please!" The blonde began begging going so far as to get on his knees and giving Hinata his ultimate baby blue eyes attack, she barely blinked.

"No." Hinata said with finality and some disbelief. She couldn't believe she was having this conversation, it was not something she ever expected to do in her life.

"I said No Naruto-Kun." Hinata asserted when the blonde scooted closer to her, still on his knees, and hugged her waist while giving her his best puppy dog eyes. The Hyūga heiresse's eyes narrowed even further and her hands twitched, Naruto grimaced.

"Fine…. Why can't a man ever have anything?" Naruto mumbled in defeat and Hinata sighed in exasperation.

"I feel like I'm raising a child." Hinata mumbled and then looked back to the pouting blonde. "Just please find a way to hold him still so I can get a clean hit, please." Hinata begged wishing to finish the exams before her lover had any more great ideas. Naruto nodded in discouragement as he stood and tore apart his fuinjutsu scripts.

'I should have known better when he said he had 'a great plan'.'Hinata thought with a sigh. She looked below to find Gaara still on the water's surface and throwing a tantrum, luckily The barrier was soundproof so his inhuman screeching couldn't be heard.

««««««"»»»»»»

"You don't want to press charges?" Shisui asked bewildered, The civilian merchant had found them before they could return to the market district and informed him of his conclusion.

"Sir, I'm pretty sure a random Genjutsu striking you is not a plausible scenario." The Policeman tried to explain to the civilian but he would hear none of it as he sweated profusely looking like he would start asking for forgiveness from the two boys.

"I'm sorry honorable grandson for the misunderstanding, You know how those Genjutsus just float around in the air and strike you unexpectedly." The man did apologize and Konohamaru blinked before finally catching on and nodding.

"Yoh it happened to me once too!" The boy exclaimed quickly, clearly lying. "Right Yaru?" Konohamaru said knocking his friend's shoulder and the boy nodded vigorously in acceptance of the lie.

"You can let these fine boys go now officer-San." The civilian said and Shisui sighed in defeat before untying the two boys. "Go ahead young men and let's keep this story to ourselves okay." The man said with a sweat running down his brow and when the two boys nodded he smiled in relief. "Thank you." He finished before turning around and walking away while wiping his brow.

"Run!" Konohamaru shouted before turning around to do just that but stepped on his scarf and slipped and ate the pavement.

"Hahahahahaha!!!!" Yaru laughed in hysteria while pointing at Konohamaru with Shisui smacking his forehead in exasperation. The Uchiha turned around and walked away from the crying and laughing boys.

'Back to the basic life of your average Konoha police officer.' The Uchiha sighed just as he turned a corner and saw someone run past said corner with great speed. Shisui would have let it slide but he could tell the person was young and injured by how he held his arm as he ran.

"Was he attacked?" Shisui asked himself and ran after the boy to lend his aid if need be.

««««««"»»»»»»

located in a dark room in an unknown location, 5 individuals stood ready to strike fear in the hearts of their enemies. They were Orochimaru's Elite team of Shinobi after Guren, Kimimaru, And Kabuto, they were also the most sadistic of the bunch. Each member with a dark past of their own and each with a grudge against the Leaf Village for one thing or another.

"Fucking asshole, you make your twin suck you off?" A female voice maid a sailor at sea blush in a random location. "Or do you take turns taking it down the ass?" She continued and a random sailor at sea turned crimson. "I wouldn't be surprised if one of you already fell pregnant because your bitching around has to have a reasonable fucking explanation." Ouch, that was cold but the group was used to their foul-mouthed companion and only had mild reactions.

"I don't think you can kiss anybody with that mouth of yours." Another voice spoke up, this one a male ending his sentence with an amused chuckle.

"What did you say bitch!" A distinctly different voice sounded indicating another male was speaking with a growl in his voice.

"Fuck, is that the best you got faggot? This flute has many more uses than just sounding deadly., I can fucking prove it too" The female countered unbothered by the insult thrown at her.

"We know you fuck that stick bitch." Another voice quite familiar to the last but a little deeper spoke calmly.

"With how small all your dicks are, I'd rather fuck something with more length." That hurt every male in the darkroom as they all felt a little ashamed of themselves. "Don't worry I'll put in word to Orochimaru-Sama to help you all with that." She finished with smug knowing she won that little battle of insults before looking to the door that got knocked four times in five-second intervals.

"Don't you all fucking die before my flute makes you sing a high note." The female told the people she was making fun of and went to open the door.

"Oh look a faggot with makeup." She said in greeting while staring at the new arrivals sweating form that was breathing heavily. "Can we begin?" She asked eagerly.
