I don't own Naruto

Bee jumped into the fight as Gobi had retreated to allow Bee to fight. The Stone Golem was taken by surprise. Jirayia and Tsunade had been fighting this one.

"What are these things? My attack has no affect." Bee said.

"Golems have a weakness we just haven't found it yet. And with these being made of stone and earth, earth based justus won't work." Jirayia said. Demi, Jack, and Ryska were fight one of the larger ones. Naruto and the other genin were fighting a smaller one, and Kakashi and the Sensis were fighting the last one. Kahani was trying to find the weakness and Eric was fighting off the little creatures that came to attack.

"Ryska, is there anyway to kill these things?" Kakashi shouted.

"Stone golems are the hardest to defeat..You literally have to bust the heads open and destroy the paper that is controlling them." Ryska said. Rengoku and the slayers were helping Naruto. Ryska was worried. She could unleash a soul bomb but the nins woukd also be hurt. Suddenly a small golem appeared behind her ready to strike.

"Ryska, behind you!" Jack called. Ryska turned to counter but another figure was already there. They wore a long white cloak with a high collar and was very well built.

"Seems like you have some trouble, Ryska. Mind if i cut in?" The man said. Ryska smiled.

"Be my guest." Ryska told the man. The man smiled and reared his fist back and punched the sword that he had used to stop the blade of the golem. The golem shattered. Ryska then turned to face the bigger golem but it had stopped moving. She then saw Kahani in lion form dragging a man. The golems dispersed as the magic keeping them alive was interrupted. Kahani dropped the man in the middle of the group. Ryska walked forward and grabbed the man.

"Who ordered you to use those Golems?" Ryska asked, ice in her voice. The man smirked.

"My master is the one who ordered me..So you think you can scare me? Hahahahaha! My master will save me." the man said. Ryska knew she could drag out the information but she had a better idea.

"Anko, you were an information retrieval expert, weren't you? Perhaps you would like to get the information we need?" Ryska said, a smile on her face. Anko licked her lips.

"Yeah, it's been awhile since I have asked for some info." Anko said, a glint in her eye. The man suddenly felt very, very afraid. Anko's eyes held a world of pain for the man as she drug him off. Those who knew Anko shuddered at the sound of her laughing. Ryska turned to the man in the white cloak.

"What?" He asked. Ryska glared at him.

"You're late. You were supposed to be here last week." Ryska chided. The man grinned.

"Well, I kinda got involved with some bandits. I forgot to send a message." The man said. Ryska shook her head. The nins had come around to meet the man. He was taller than Ryska by a foot. His black hair framed his face. He was broad shouldered. Naruto spoke.

"Ryska who is this?" Naruto asked, amazed by the man's strength. Ryska smiled.

"Naruto, meet..."

The Infinity Castle

Muzan smiled as Hidan told him about Konan. He would have to wait awhile to let the dust settle but soon he would have his reward.

"Lord Muzan, we can't find those damn demon slayers. They disappeared with the red light district in that stanking place. I want to tear them apart." Akaza said. Muzan glared at him.

"The spies haven't found anything. The rats are running for now. Too bad they were able to kill Upper Six but we will replace them. Those slayers will die at our hands." Mizan said. Akaza growled.

"My, my, Akaza. You must learn patience. If you spent more time around women you would learn it. Their manners, their taste, their screams of agony. So delicious." Douma said. Akaza glared at Douma.

"Only a coward hurts women." Akaza said coldly. Douma giggled. Muzan snapped his fingers.

"Biwa, send these two back. I have plans for this morning." Muzan said. Biwa plucked the strings sending the two away. Muzan smiled at Hidan.

"Now, my pet, let me hear the screams of agony!" Muzan said his eyes glowing. Hidan's face was full of tears. He now knew that he had been abandoned by Jashin and Pain. He could only whimper as Muzan took the lead rope and led him deeper into the castle. Mizan smiled as he held the whimpers. A true gift. Muzan thought as he led Hidan into his "special" room. Muzan would sleep well tonight.

Konoha

Danzo stood in front of the Hokage. The Damiyo's party had left and Damzo had overseen the cleanup of the celebrations. He wanted to use his "persuasion" to have the Hokage step down and appoint him Hokage. As he went to activate his asset, a nin burst in the room.

"Lord Hokage!" The nin said

"What is it? You burst into my office like so!" Setsui said.

"A message from the scouts. Two wanted S class nins reported to be headed this way!" The nin said. Setsui barked orders.

"Close the gates. No one in or out without permission, papers, and all cargo is to be searched. Cat, Double the guards on the walls, place traps and seals, and have all available nins report to duty." Setsui said. He knew that those nins would be trouble. Danzo smirked and spoke.

"It seems that my advice is needed. Hokage, we need..." Danzo began.

"Did i ask for you input, Danzo? I did not. You are to remain in your current position as a backup nin." Setsui said coldly. Danzo looked angry.

"Cat, issue these orders. All citizens and back up nins are to remain in their homes. Supplies will be sent to the homes via ANBU. Anyone caught outside after 6pm will be arrested." Setsui said. Danzo growled.

"Are you upset? You seem to be happy when you heard they were coming here. Dragon, take Danzo to the holding cells. He is to remain there until I give the order to release him." Setsui said. Dragon slapped a seal on Danzo, sealing away his Chakra. Danzo had no choice as he was led away. He was placed in a cell. How could this happen to me! I am supposed to be the next Hokage! I will get out of this jail cell and becoming a missing nin if i must! Danzo thought. Suddenly, the lights in the cell went off. Danzo stared into the dark. The nightmares were infrequent so he knew it wasn't one. He tried to access his assets but couldn't. The cells prevent chakra use. Interesting. Danzo thought. Danzo was suddenly blinded as super bright lights flooded his cell.

"So you finally got put here. Hmph, you're the reason Anko left. If i had proof, I'd say you are behind the banishment." Ibiki said. Danzo was afraid now. Ibiki had considered Anko like a little sister and he had been pissed when she left. Danzo was helpless without chakra. Ibiki laughed as he left. Danzo shuddered. He would bide his time and beocme stronger.

Setsui smiled. His plan to imprison Danzo worked..The ANBU had been told to act like that. He could hold him for a week without suspicion.

"Karbe, you have done well. You and Tetra are a great pair. Go home." The Hokage said. Karbe biwed and left

"Cat, take a unit and search the Shimura home. Bring everything to me. Let no one know what you are doing." Setsui said. Lets see what you are planning old man.

The mountains north of the Nations

A man stared at the Nations. He would take them as his. He would be the ruler of all. It would take years but he would become the ruler of the east and after all the east has fallen, he would seek out the Mythical Sword of Souls and become immortal. He laughed a cold heartless laugh. Soon, the world would biw to him.

West

"Naruto meet Hiko Seijuro, master of the Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryū Style." Ryska said. The nin were quiet..The Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryūstyle was legendary and to meet the master of it was incredible. Guy was awestruck.

"Its an honor to meet you sir." Naruto said. Hiko smiled.

.

"So you are the nins from the east. I thought that most were gone by now. But then again it has been years since i heard anything from over the wall." Hiki said. Ryska shook her head.

"Hiko, where's Kenshin and the others?" Ryska asked.

"They will be here..Karou wanted to help with some of the injured in the village. Megumi is helping her. So they should be here tomorrow." Hiko said. Ruska nodded.

"Well then. I suppose you want a drink?" Ryska said softly. Hiko looked sheepish.

"Yeah, but..." Hiko said. Suddenly he saw a man he easily recognized.

"Jirayia!!!!! How's it going?" Hiko said as the Toad Sage came close.

"Hiko! I was going to look you up but with everything going on...Lets get a drink." Jirayia said dragging him off. Tsunade glared after them..

"Let them blow off some steam. Besides, you could always join them." Ryska said. Tsunade stomped off to admonish Jirayia for leaving her behind. Ryska smiled. Suddenly an ice cold chill ran down her spine.. She knew that a great danger was to come and would have to train the nins even harder. Words that she had heard years ago came back to her.

These rings are for them. Once they have been found and their powers awakened, they will become the warriors to prevent the darkness from overtaking the world, Soul Queen. Only you can unlock the box and let the rings find the masters. Once on, they like you, and anyone they give a ring to, will become immune to all manner of weapons, disease, and aging. They, like you, will be immortal. Remember, they must accept the rings without any persuasion from outside forces as you have done. but remember it is as you have done only on the brink of death can they truly access these powers.

Ryska stared into the clearing. The poem lined up with the children. She had always carried the box with her and now the poem came to mind. If this is the case, let them be children for a time longer. Ryska said as she watched the camp. The sun had set. Tanjiro called Naruto over.

"Naruto, now that the battle is over and the sun had gone down, let me introduce my little sister." Tanjiro said, opening the box. A girl of about 14 came out. She had a bamboo muzzle, black hair with orange ends, and pink eyes.

"Little sister?" Naruto asked

"Yes this is Nezuko. She was turned into a demon. I'm trying to turn her back or at least let her be in the sun." Tanjiro said. Nezuko smiled at Naruto.

"Kit, I think I can help. The ine who turned this girl is not a demon like us. Those monsters eat humans and are the scum of the worlds. But this child has it in her to be as great as her brother." Kyuubi said.

"Tanjiro, Kyuubi said he can help your sister." Naruto said. Tanjiro looked dumbfounded.

"Kyuubi?" Tanjiro said.

"Oh right, I forgot. See, Kyuubi is a demon but not like the one who hurt your sister. He's a Chakra Demon." Naruto said.

"Where is he?" Tanjiro said.

"Inside me."

"Really. Wow. I have met good demons. Kurama, Hiei, Sesshomaru, and the others. I know Muzan is a monster. I just want to stop him. My family died becaise if him. If i can restore Nezuko to her human self or even allow her to be in sunlight, I'll stop at nothing to help her." Tanjiro said. Naruto laid his hand on Tanjiro's shoulder.

"I know what its like to lose your home. I never really have a close family until I joined the academy and my team. Sure we had spats and stuff but we are family." Naruto said.

."Mhmmm." Nekuzo agreed. Naruto then had an idea.

"Hey, Sakura, Tenten, Ino, Hinata! Come here. Tanjiro wants you to meet his little sister." Naruto called out. The girls walked over. Naruto told them the story. As soon as the girls saw Nekuzo, they began to talk to her. Nekuzo reached up and patted Naruto's head.

"She likes you. I'm glad." Tanjiro daid. Naruro then had an idea.

"Hey, there might be a way for you guys to meet Kyuubi. I'm going to have to practice it, but if it works, Kyuubi can talk to you guys and maybe tell us how he can help." Naruto said. Tanjiro spoke.

"And how will you do that?" Tanjiro asked. Naruto smiled and spoke some words.

"Shadow Clone Justu."
