Konohagakure no Sato (almost nine years later)
~Hyuuga Clan Compound~


On the western most prodigous side of the Village of Konoha is the Hyuuga District. At the main compound in the middle of the district lives the head family.

Today was Naruto's typical routine to head from the Takeda district to the Hyuuga main house. Since he was four years old he been training in chakra control. He was with his usual peers, Hyuuga Hinata, the sole heiress to the Hyuuga clan, seven year old Hanabi her sister and Hyuuga Neji, who was a year older then the two. Neji was in the branch family, his father, Hiziashi was Branch family head. The three others, not of the Hyuuga, are Takeda Kaoru, her little seven year old sister Suzuko and her older brother (Neji's age) Takeda Takimaru. The lessons Naruto took, were four hours a day and at the end of the session Naruto will spar with Takimaru or Neji.

THUD

A large thud was heard though out the dojo. As Neji did a sweep kick, knocking him to the ground. Neji, usually in his smug tone, cockily said, "See told you can't beat me." Of course Naruto got up in strong defiance of Neji's badgering. "I will beat you yet Neji!"

"Okay that is enough for your morning training session." Hiashi said. `Those five are growing at good pace for eight and nine year olds, especially Naruto... Arashi-san you should be proud of him, he just like you.' The door to the dojo opened revealing the one person Naruto like seeing, his 'nee-chan'. The past eight years Naruto and Rin had grown a sister and brother relationship. Naruto saw as the way she treated him like loving and protective older sister. "Hiya, Rin-neechan." "Have good time training Naruto-kun." Naruto nodded. "But I will one of this days I will bet Neji-nii-san." Naruto always thought of the others as siblings. Rin smiled at him, she was happy that he grew up with people who cared, even thou it is the Hyuugas, this clan was supposed to be cold and unfeeling. "So Rin-neechan, wha' we doin' today?" Naruto asked. "We are going to meet the Hokage." Naruto liked visiting the 'old man'. "Torisumi-sama, could I speak with you for a moment?" Rin face faulted, she was for respect and all, but he acted like he just met her. He looked little more serious than usually. "Naruto-kun could you meet me outside, I have to talk to Hiashi-sama."

"Sure." Naruto left with Hinata in tow.

Hiashi and Rin went into the his study to discuss something. "Rin-san as you are well aware of Naruto's and my precious daughter Hinata's birthdays are coming in a quite a few months. To bond them until the proper age of sixteen, so they can get married." Rin was less than shock, she was shightly overtly shock. "Why would you do that, you know Naruto see Hinata as a little sister and besides wouldn't it damage your clans image, considing his 'condition'." Hiashi smiled, he know she was seeing if he would put the clan first or his daughter's happiness. `Arashi-san you taught your students well in questioning others true motives, even their comrades.' Hiashi thought. In this world of shinobi it was good to question somethings at times. Hiashi spoke, "Just thought that Naruto will be a great husband to her thats all." Rin could tell he wasn't lieing. "While if that is what they want to I guess, but never know if Naruto or Hinata will either fall for each other or for someone esle or even both." "Both?" "The Clan Resortation Act... remember the Nidaime Hokage put it into law, before he dead." Hiashi nodded, he remember some of the law. The law allowed the sole male survivor of a clan to have multiple wives.

"Well better go, me and Naruto are to see the Hokage." Hiashi nodded, "... oh yeah, Hiashi-san I thing so to, even if his almost nine, I'll talk to Kenshin and Kakashi and decide. Good day." Rin bowed respectfully to Hiashi and left.

~Hokage's Tower~

Rin and Naruto made their way to the Hokage Tower. They sat for a few minutes in the waiting room. When the Hokage secretary a young brown haired woman came out telling them, they can come in. Naruto noticed the glare that was sent by the secretary, but he just ignored it he was use to seeing this glares at him. Naruto was taking out of thoughts, when he heard Rin voice, "Good morning, Hokage-sama, how are feeling today?"
"Good morning to you to Rin-san... Good morning Naruto-san." Hokage said with a big smile at the boy. "Hiya, old man." Naruto laughed. It ended when he was bopped on the head by Rin yelling something about respect for people of authority. Rin regained her composer, asked, "Hokage-sama, what is it that you like to see us about?" "We should wait for..." as soon he said that in a swirl of leaves appeared the blonde-haired, silver-eyes of Kenshin. After begin tackled by Naruto into a hug, they waited for an hour/half for Kakashi, the last of the Guardians. In puff of smoke, Kakashi revealed himself. Rin and Naruto yelled in unison, "YOU'RE LATE!!!" "Sorry I'm late, but a black cat crossed my path..." Kakashi could never come up with any good excuses. "LAIR!!!" the same two yelled again. Sarutobi spoke, "Now that everyone is here lets get to business... as you three know in four weeks the resigeration for the ninja academy. As that Naruto will need to learn a couple of jutsu. Naruto are you excited to go to the academy." "Naruto?" Rin looked worried. Naruto was sulked down, then he yelled in a brooming voice that amazing for a eight-year-old, "Of coarse I'm excited! I will be the greatest ninja ever." Naruto was taught will in speaking by Rin and Kenshin. Everyone was smiling. Saying at that moment Naruto was excited was an understatment, he was running around the room with arms in the air with glee. "Glad you are happy Naruto." said Sarutobi. "No worries I will be the greatest and I will be the next Hokage. Believe it!" Naruto decladed.

Everyone just smiled at his antics.

"Naruto will you please go into the hallway." Naruto nodded and left the room. Sarutobi spoke, "I was wondering how was Naruto's training session this morning, Rin-san?"
"Hiashi-san told me it went well. Why you ask?"
"Kenshin-san are you teaching your sister Kaoru, a couple of jutsu for the acceptence exam into the academy?" Kenshin nodded in response. "Okay Rin-san tell Hiashi-san that Naruto will train with Kenshin in the two jutsus for the exam. I think he can learn... Kenshin-san I want you to teach him the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, I think he can learn that, if you don't have a problem with that." "No, no problem Hokage-sama, I teach him." Kenshin liked Naruto and saw him as another little brother. Kakashi finally spoke, "Hokage-sama, should we tell him of his parents, especially about his 'condition' along with the fact his the son of the Fourth and remaining Kazuma clan member?" Everyone else stared at him that didn't cross their mind that one of these days they will needing to tell him. The only thing is that, who was going to tell him, dredful silence consumed the room, Rin broke it, "I'll tell him about it, but not about his 'condition'. I don't think his is ready yet." Sarutobi nodded and spoke, "I will being the topic of given Naruto, his true name of Kazuma and rightful set as clan head when he's sixteen, later today." The three guardians looked at each other and got up to leave and saw eager awaiting Naruto, who happy to see Rin. "Naruto-kun lets go home." "But I want to go training with Ken-nii-san." Naruto said with a pout. "Yes, but we need to discuss something." "Oh okay... but later can get some ramen." Naruto did puppy-dog face, which got her very time. "Sure." Rin said trying to smile. Naruto comsumtion of ramen always broke her in the bank, even thou they went to Ichiraku Ramen the cheapest ramen place in Konoha, but they did had very good ramen. Rin shot a glare at Kenshin that yelled 'I blame you', because it was him Naruto discovered the greatness in Ramen. They departed their separate ways.

~Rin's Apartment~
(Takeda District)

"Naruto, please sit down on the couch." Naruto did as he was told. "I'm in trouble, Rin-neechaaaan." he said, stretching the 'chan'. Naruto tried to look innocence, in hope to get out of whatever trouble he might be in. Rin smiled at him reassuringly, "No, sweetie... you not." Rin sat next to him and put her arm around him. "Naruto-kun, I believe that you are old enough to known about your parents and who they was."

"M-My parents."

"Yes, you see... your father was my gennin sensei..." "My dad was a ninja, was he great?" Naruto said with excitment. Rin nodded, "In matter in fact he was so great of a shinobi, he was the Yondaime Hokage..." Naruto eyes was wide with amazement, "... Naruto there is something I need to tell you..." she had to tell him about his 'condition', "... Naruto-kun, you see, almost nine-years-ago... on the day of your birth... a demon fox attacked the village and a lot of people fought it, including the Yondaime... you see we could not kill it, so we sealed it... in a newly born infant... that infant... that infant was you, Naruto." Rin's became somewhat ragged, she was crying. The first time in a really long time she started to cry. Naruto was silence, his head led on her crest. `So that was way all the villagers give me though glares' Naruto thought. Naruto got out of Rin's embrace and ran into his bedroom slamming the door. Rin looked at him at him as he retreated in his room, she place her head in hands and allowed the tears to flow out. After she was dry out of tears. She walked up to his door and knocked on it, all she got was silence. This made her very worried, she knocked again and silence. She tried to open the door, but it was knocked. She did the teleportation jutsu in the room (A/N: they moved from her place to the Takeda District). She looked around and saw his bedroom window open, she ran to it and yelled his name, "NARUTO!" She jumped from the second-story window to the ground with worried look she begin to run trying to find him. She stopped when she saw Ainaomi, the second daughter of Takahaishi, just like her brother was only fourteen in the ANBU. Kenshin was with her to. She stop near him. Kenshin knew something was up, because of the look of grief and guilt was all he needed, then it stuck him like a bolt of lightning, "Rin-chan please don't tell me you've told him about it." Rin nodded. "Rin-san where did he go?" Ainaomi asked. Rin spoke raggedly, "I-I don't know." the tears began to flow again. Kenshin having none of it walked up shaked her by her arms. Rin looked up at him with sadness, "Rin-chan, right now we need to find Naruto... where is his favorite place to be." Rin thought for a moment, then it came to her... the park.

"The Takeda Cherry Blossom Park." she said. "Ainaomi... " "Right ahead of you brother." The three sprung off to the park. The park was not what you will call small or regular. It was whether a large place, it was six-miles in width and five-miles length. The place almost covered half of the district.

~The sakura park~
(Takeda District)

A eight-year-old Naruto ran though the forest-like park. It was all clear to him now. Why the cold glares. Why the hurtful tunes towards him and Rin-neechan. He thought, `That's why... why they called me a monster...and why they hate neechan too... its my fault' Naruto continued to run. He ran until he hit, what could described as a wall of flesh. He fall hard on the ground. He looked up to see a sinister looking man, he crazed look in his black eyes and was wearing a standard shinobi atire, except he had foregin head band. Naruto got up and try to run, but he was grabbed by the hair and thrown into a tree knocking the breath out of him and into unconsciousness.

(Naruto's mindscape)

Naruto found himself in eerie looking room with a large cage. He was in an ankle length of water. 'Where I am?' his voice echoed thoughout the room.

"Hey Brat!" echoed the blooming voice. Naruto spun around to see gaint red, montrous eyes staring at him. "You m-must be the d-demon." Naruto said.

"Yes brat, I am Kyuubi no Kitsune. I'll make this short right now you are about to die. Frankly, I don't want to die, so I am going to give you my chakra. You'll survival means my farthur existence." "Why should I-" Naruto was cut off by Kyuubi, "Shut up! And live!!!!!" The demon fox pushed his charka into Naruto and back to reality.


Naruto woke bring beaten close to death. The assassin after having a little fun beating up Naruto, decided it was time to end his life. He was about to unshealth his katana, when he noticed a red glow started to engulf the boy. From middle of boy's crest a red demonic chakra arm shoot out. Pinning the wannabe assassin to the tree, slowly crushing him. The boy stood up and lifted his head, the assassin instead of seeing sapphire blue eyes was replaced with blood crismon eyes with slits, the whisker marks darkened and he had fangs and claws. As the assassin let out an unearthly scream as he was being crushed.

"NARUTO!!!!" said boy wrapped to person who called him. Kenshin had a blue chakra aura around his right hand rushing towards him. "Kami Ookami Fuujin Fourteen... SEAL!!!" (Divine Wolf Seal #14) Was all that Naruto heard before everything went black.

(back in Naruto's mindscape)

Naruto once again stood in front of the cage, but something was aid to it. In front of the veritical jail bars were horizontal bars that came from the walls to a massive plake in the middle, it had 'kanji' engraved down it, it read 'Kuchiyose Ninjutsu: Bloodlust Fuujin' at the end of the kanji was a cresant moon with 'kanji' for wolf. Which made him think of the Takeda clan insignia. Kyuubi spoke in mild tone, "If your wondering brat what the seal is for. Its to control my bloodlust that I have for this village. That friend of yours must have feared me, put me in my place. Damn I HATE THE TAKEDAS!!!" Kyuubi roared out. Naruto was knocked out of his mindscape as he regained consiousness.


~Konoha Shinobi Hospital~

Naruto woke up to see a white celing above him. He recognised it as the celing of hospital, he never spent time in this place not as one of its tetants, but he went to work with Rin here sometimes, he liked most of the nurses and medics, they were quite nice to him. He looked to his left to see Rin sitting in a chair reading a book. She looked from her book to see him up and complete joy spead across her face with a grin to match. She engulfed Naruto into a hug, she being to lightly cry tears of joy. Rin in her sister-serious voice, "Don't you ever do that again Naruto... I was worried sick about you. I am sorry telling you about your condition that way. It was wrong of me." This time Naruto gave her a hug. "Its okay Rin-neechan, it wasn't your fault. Its mine that is why the villagers-" Naruto was cut off with Rin's index on his lips. "No, Naruto-kun it was no one fault. You had no control over the demon or what happened almost nine years." Naruto hugged her again, saying, "I love you, Rin-neechan." "I love you too."

Naruto heard some people come in. He looked to see the Hokage, Takahaishi, Kenshin, Kakashi, Hiashi, and a few others he was not familiar with. Kenshin spoke first, "How are you feeling Naruto?" Naruto launched on to Kenshin his favorite 'nii-san'. "So I am forgiving for placing the seal on you." "Huh, oh you had to do what thought was right, right. I can't hate you." Kenshin smiled, he was so understanding at this age. Naruto heard a 'hmphf' and 'yeah right' coming from Kyuubi. "Can y'all give moment with me and Naruto, please." They nodded and left the room. He sat Naruto on the bed, brought the chair to the bed. He gave Naruto a letter, "Naruto this letter is from your father."

Naruto took it and begin to read it.

~

Naruto began to cry he had family and they loved him. Kenshin could do nothing but watch. "Ken-niisan, I want to become strong, so I won't be afraid and prove this village wrong about me." He nodded and spoke, "We will begin tomorrow at ten o'clock for ninja exceptence exam... but Naruto you keep the secret of the nine-tails as that a secret. Do you understand." Naruto nodded.


~Takeda Clan Main Compound Courtyard~


The next morning, Naruto and his friend Kaoru and another girl with platinum blonde hair, who introduced herself as Yamanaka Ino. The two girls looked at Naruto's bandaged wrapped head with curiousity. When they asked about it he just said that he fell yesterday. Kaoru just called him clumsy and Ino just nodded to her newly inquired friend.

Kenshin gave out his instructions, "Okay now you three will start learning a simple excerise that will help with you in the Ninja Exceptence Exam. The two jutsus you will learn in this month will gave you good points in the class." He each handed them a leaf, "... okay you will have to balance this leaf on the tip of your finger by its stem using your chakra. When we are done with that you all spar, you will be tested on your taijutsu skills." They begin to do the excerise and just like he thought none of them can do it.

After about three weeks the soon-to-be ninjas get it right. Kenshin decide to teach them the simiplest jutsu. The Bunshin no Jutsu. "Okay y'all three its time to learn the jutsu I'm going to you first off... Ino your father had already prepared you a second jutsu, correct?"

"H-Hai Kenshin-sensei. He taught me the replacement jutsu." Kenshin nodded. "Kaoru and Naruto, I will be teaching you two of jutsus, now." They both groned. Ino looked sadden at the blonde-hair boy, `I hope Naruto does not hate me for only get to learn only one while he have to learn two in two days.' Ino sighed heavyily. She have grown to like him in the three weeks they spent training for the exceptence exam. "Okay you three watch me carefully..." they did as he did the hand signs slowly for memorization and said, "Bunshin no Jutsu" when he said that two illusions of himself appeared on each side. So they did it. Ino and Kaoru got the hang of it after their second or third try, but Naruto's was absolutely pathetic. It was just coming out wrong, Kenshin thought Hyuugas training in chakra control would be good. `Maybe its the nine-tails chakra...' he pondered.

"Okay I think you two girls got it for now. Ino go practice on the training log... Kaoru and Naruto I'll teach you the Konoha Shushin no Jutsu." "N-Naruto-kun... you get it right." Ino shurreded out. "Thanks, Ino-chan." He said. Ino blushed and ran to the training log. "Okay watch..." Kenshin went though the hand signs and they both got it on their first try, which impressed Kenshin to a great extent. Kaoru and Naruto practiced on the Bunshin Jutsu, she continued to get better while Naruto got worst at it. Kenshin told him to came back tomorrow and he show him clone techinque that he will get.

~Takeda Training Field~

The next day Naruto came to the forest where Kenshin told him to meet him. "Hey, Naruto good to see you made it." Kenshin worried he would not show, when Naruto said he might give up. "Naruto, the jutsu I am going to teach you is Jounin level technique..." "Really. yesyesyesyesyesyes... I am going to beat everyone asses..." Naruto continued to run around and jump and down with glee. "Naruto..." "yesyesyesyes...hehehe" "NARUTO! Sit down!" Naruto 'eeped' and did what he was told. "I am going to teach you the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu..." Kenshin said with a smile. "But, Ken-sensei, if I can't learn the Bunshin than how I am going to do Kage Bunshin." "Because, do to your abnormally large amount of chakra, so I think this jutsu would work for you." Kenshin saw the doubtfullness in Naruto eyes, so he expoiled it, "You could always give up and never surpass your father..." he knew Naruto wants to surpass his father, Kenshin being to walk away. Naruto yelled,"Okay I do it! I will surpass my father... I will surpass all the Hokages... I will get this jutsu... because I don't give up and I will become Hokage someday!" Kenshin nodded and did the single hand sign of Kage Bunshin no Jutsu and two soild clones appeared next to him on either side of him, as he proceded to walk towards the big grining Naruto. "Naruto-kun take advise from me..." getting his attention, "... when you do become a ninja fight to protect the people you love and hold cherish... Naruto who do you cherish?" Kenshin asked. "Just like my father... I will protect this village, I don't care how this village treated me... my father died protecting this village and I will to." Kenshin smiled at young Naruto declaration, `Arashi-sama you will be proud of him... Naruto-kun, when the time has come you will be a spendid Hokage.'

It was early evening and Naruto had successfully created three soild shadow clones. Kenshin smiled, "Okay Naruto, go home and get enough rest and eat a good meal in the morning you going to need it... but before we go home how about some Ichiraku ramen." He disspelled the clones and yelled happly as they when to Ichiraku ramen. Naruto eat seven bowls of miso ramen in under an hour. He went to bed as soon he got home and Kenshin was yelled at and punched by an angry Rin, saying something about ruining his dinner.

~Rin's Apartment~

Rin walked in Naruto's room, bright and early the next morning. She sat on the edge of the bed his bed to watch him sleep. She noticed the Bloodlust Seal on his forehead, it had a cresant moon with what looked like vines spread out of either side of the moon. She remembered the sight heated arguement she had with Kenshin...

(Flashback)

"How could you?!" yelled Rin. She tried to slap the man in front of her, but he caught her hand. She was angry at him for placing that powerful of a seal on him and angry at herself for telling Naruto who he was. She blamed herself for it. She was so messed up inside. "Rin-chan, I had to protect him from doing something he will regret... he might have been using his red chakra but he was fully consious... he would have remembered it. I wasn't going to put that on him."

She looked up at him then broke down in tears. She cried in his Jounin vest. It was bascially all she could do right now was cry. Her old nick name, that she tried to get rid of still stuck with her even after almost nine years... the cry-baby ninja.

(End of Flashback)

Naruto started to wake up, which brought Rin out of her thoughts. "Good morning, Naruto-kun. Its time to wake up, today is your first day at the academy." "YAY!!!" Naruto almost screamed almost destroying Rin's hearing. Rin yelled, "Do you have to be so loud!!!" She proceeded in run after him, to whrack him across the head for yelling so early in the morning (it was 5:50 am in the morning). After ten minutes of trying to kill each other. Naruto finally was in new clothes, which was an orange stock cap that covered his entired head including the seal. He had a orange t-shirt with the leaf logo that was red, black shorts with blue ninja sandals. He also had medical tape wrapped around his lower legs and ankles. "Naruto are you ready?" "Yeah yeah I'm ready." Naruto said. "Well don't you look hand-..." Rin left eye twitched,
"... where did you get those gogoles?" Rin asked irratated. "Hn. Oi Ken-niisan gave them to me few days ago." Naruto smiled sheepishly. Rin only thought, `I am going to kill Kenshin-kun... What a minute where the hell did 'kun'.' That was going to have to wait she will wait until she dropped Naruto off at the academy, then kill him. Rin was broke out of her thoughts, when Naruto spoke, "Rin-neechan, is everything okay?" "Yes, you better eat, so we can get going." Naruto ate at the speed of sound and then they was off to the academy.

~Ookamigakure no Sato~
(Village Hidden amongst the Wolves) (Two weeks eariliar)

A tall young man in his late teens stood across the present Sandaime Ookamikage, the black-haired man in an old-style traditional samurai black kimono looked worried to say the least. The worried look arcoss the village's leader face was the young man caused for concern, not in all his years as a wolf shinobi did he see this expression. The third might have been fair and just ruler over the village. He was always claim, so see the look of concern on his face was strange to say. The dark-haried man spoke,"What is wrong Ookamikage-sama?"
"The letter that my son in Konoha sent me..." "And you never seemed to be concern about it before, so what is worrisome about it now?" the young man seemed to be having a hard time compreheneding. The Ookamikage smiled, "Takahaishi wrote saying that the nine-tailed fox boy had the 'Bloodlust Seal' placed on him..." the young man stood there shocked, "... my eldest grandson did it. The thing was that the wannabe assassin was one of our missing shinobi. They want somebody to come pick him up." "Are you sure we can trust them, they cou-" he was interrupted by the old man. "Byakuya-san, I can understand your concern, this day and age we shinobi villages are highly suspicious of one another, but the alliance my clan created between the wolf, leaf and cloud villages is strong and complete." "But there was Iwagakure no Sato." Byakuya stated, but that war just strenghtened the alliance between the three nations, because of the leaders. "Enough of the past..." the old Takeda wrote something down in a scroll, "...have Kuchiki Rukia and Ishida Uryuu handle the mission." "R-Rukia..." the said girl was Byakuya's adopted sister. "You have a problem with that?" asked the Ookamikage. "N-No of coarse not, my lord." Byakuya bowed. "Oh yeah, have Rukia came here, please." Byakuya bowed again and left the room to get the two special Jounins.

(back in Konohagakure no Sato; two weeks later)
~Konoha's North gate~

A purple-haired, hazle pupiless eyed woman, she wearing a regular chuunin vest with fish net shirt underneath and light tan skirt and next to her was another kunoichi that had black hair with crimson eyes, she wore the traditional chuunin entire, blue long sheeved shirt with blue pants and green chuunin vest. The purple-haired kunoichi let out bore sigh, "Kuso, I hate guard duty." The other kunoichi nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I rather watch Naruto-kun get in the academy." "Oh yeah he's taking ninja acceptence exams today." The black haired kunoichi nodded. "Anko-san, we got vistors." the kunoichi said, pointing to two people. Anko look the two over, one was female with black hair that when to the begining of her back, she had midnight blue eyes. She wore forest camo pants that folded up right above the ankles and had fishnet shirt with long sheeves and a dark pine green ninja vest and she had black ninja shoes, she wore a foreign headband on her right bicep and kunai holster on her thigh. The one to her right would not seem to be a male, he had a feminine looking face, navy blue hair. He was slightly taller then his counterpart. He wore a shinobi outfit which consisted a blue-grayish long sheeved shirt and gray pants along with his kunai holster tied to his right thigh. He had his headband tied on his forehead. Anko looked at their headbands and noticed that on the finely polised metal was 'kanji' for wolf. Anko smirked at two, "Halt, who are you and what is your purpose here?" she asked examing the two shinobi. The female bow and politely responded, " My name is Rukia, Kuchiki Rukia, and this my counterpart Ishida Uryuu." The man called Uryuu bowed his head, "It is a pleasure to met two beautiful women such as yourself." The two women had a shade of pink cross their faces at the man's flattering. Not only that he called them women instead of kunoichis. The other kunoichi let out a sigh of fustration and muttered. "Kuso hentai." she cleared her thoat regaining the attention of kunoichi guards, "we are here on the behalf of our Ookamikage and to speak with your Hokage." said the irrate kunoichi. "I will escort you to the Hokage Tower." said the black haired kunoichi. The three was off to the Hokage Tower, living a extremely bored Anko behind, `Damn Kurenai living me here on this god damn guard duty.' she screamed in her head.

~Konohagakure Ninja Academy~

A very excited and slightly nervous Uzumaki Naruto worked along side his 'sister' Rin though the streets of Konoha. He let a nervous gulp, when he and Rin came into view of the academy. This didn't go unnoticed by Rin, "There is no reason you sould be nervous Naruto-kun, I am sure everything is going to be fine." "A-Are you sure, nee-chan." "Yep, I'm positive." Rin smiled and gave him a wink and thumbs up, which in return made him smile.

They both walked up two the gate leading into the academy courtyard. They was about to walk into the gate, when someone called out to them. "Ah, Rin-san, Naruto-san, you made it." The said two shifted it their gaze to the Hokage. "Hokage-sama. Good morning." said Rin. "Hi ya, old man." said Naruto. The two of them noticed that the old man Hokage was not alone. Next to them was two others. One was a female about the Hokage's height, she had dark hair, was done in a high braided ponytail and hazel honey color eyes that gave off warming atmosphere about her. She appeared to be in her late thirties, she was wearing light tan traditional robes with tan high heels. She stood to the Hokage's left. To the Hokage's right was a man wearing simaliar robes to the Hokage, but instead of red and white, it was white with green. He stood a little taller than the Hokage. He had black hair that was spiked going backwards and black eyes. He appeared to be in his late thirties as well. "Rin-san. Naruto-san I would you like to meet Miyahara Etsuko..." he pointed to the woman, "...and Mizumaki Dairoku." It finally stuck Rin, she quickly bowed her head, except Naruto, who just looked at the two old people strangely. "Um... Rin-neechan are these two people surpose to be important or something?" Naruto said nonchalantly. Rin just stared at him. Rin bursted, "Of course, Naruto, these two are the advisors to the Hokage!" Naruto just shruggled his shoulders. "Its quiet all right Rin-san, we didn't espect him to known us." said Etsuko. Rin nodded and spoke, "So Hokage-sama, I was wondering if you got through to the others of the counsel to give Naruto his proper name." "Hmm. you are correct Rin-san, Naruto will be allowed the name Kazuma once he become a genin. He will keep the Uzumaki until then, he will only decide if he keep will keep Uzumaki as part of his name." "Isn't that great Naru-" Rin finally realized that said boy was not there. "Naruto-kun, where are you?" Rin looked around rapidly, until she spotted him, appearantly during her little chat with the Hokage and the elders he saw his with friend with platinum blonde hair, Ino and decide to sneak off to converse with her.

Before she could run over to Naruto and bop him over the head for scaring her half to death, she was stopped by the Dairoku's voice, "Rin-san, considering the time you and Naruto might want to hurry on inside, the exam will begin soon." Rin quickly looked at her watch it only six minutes to the exam, she quickly bowed and grab Naruto and Ino by their collars, it seemed to her that Ino's parents was already inside, rushed them to the registration room. After she done with Naruto's registration forms, she was actually about to do Ino's, when the little girl simply said, "Father already did it." She let out a sigh of relief and decided to escort them to their classroom.

As she and the two children (she basically dragged there with her) entered the room. "Sorry, their- I-Iruka-san you teaching now?" The said man nodded yes, "Hai Rin-chan, so this two are Yamanaka Ino and Kazuma Naruto, correct." Rin nodded yes, when she catched what he named Naruto. She quickly pulled him aside and whispered, "Iruka-san, why does Naruto-kun have Kazuma in his name?" Iruka just shrugged his shoulders. "Nevermind then..." said Rin. "Bye, Naruto-kun, Ino-chan and good luck."

"Okay, you two... grab a sit and we can get started on the entrance exam." The two kids grabbed sits and Ino was happy that she got a sit by her best friend, Kaoru and sat behind her admiration.

Ino was so busy just staring at his blonde locks that she didn't even noticed her teacher pass out sheets of paper to the students until he spoke, "Listen up kids, this is the first part of the exam it will test your general knowledge, we don't suspect you pass with flying colors, but just do your best... you may begin."

After an hour of answering questions on the first part of the entrance exam was finally over. Many sighed relief when it was done with. Now it was time for them to show what they got. They went into the courtyard to do the ninja techinques. "Okay, children this is the ninjutsu part of the exam. You can do one or two types of jutsu. First up Aburame Shino..." A boy with a big light blue jacket and tan shorts walked up. He did two of the simple jutsu, Henge and Replacement. As the test went on a lot of the students did the same type of jutsu. Hinata and Ino did a Bunshin and Replacement, which impressed Iruka. Kaoru did Bunshin and Shushin, which really impressed Iruka. Once he got to Naruto, he said "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" at first Iruka thought he did not hear him right, until he noticed a solid clone standing next to Naruto, not only him but everyone was shock and picking their jaws off the ground. Iruka was the most the shock actually since he known that the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu was a Jounin level he so was busy gulking at the that technique, he didn't even bother to noticed the Shushin no Jutsu that Naruto did. "Very, very impressive Naruto-san." said boy grinned from ear to ear. "Um... okay to continue Uchiha Sasuke." At first the Uchiha did a simple Henge no Jutsu, but Iruka even further as he to did a Jounin level jutsu: 'Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu', which was expected of a Uchiha. This techinque placed Uchiha Sauske first in his class and Kazuma Naruto second.

During the exam many of the females of the class started to get interested in these two boys. When they was back in class everyone was quiet, hell even Naruto was quiet. It was broken by the of their sensei, "Okay class, I would like to congratulate you on passing and tomorrow you begin on your way to genin, but just passing this exam doesn't mean you're out of the hard stuff, because it gets harder after this..." much of the class groaned as they realized what they got themselves into, Iruka smiled brightly at them, "... but don't worry I am sure that you will do great and with hard work and dedication, you all will make it. Now came down and get your books and scrolls for I will be your teacher for the next three years." Iruka smiled at his groaning class, as scared chuunin thought, `Not even a week yet... but at least I have a class full of talent. Especially that blonde kid and the Uchiha.'

At the end of the day Naruto was talking with his three friends as they walk out of the academy building with smiling faces. Outside was the parents of Hinata, Ino, and Kaoru. Hinata's father was first that Naruto recoginized, "Hiashi-tousan, what up?" Hiashi smiled, he didn't mind being called 'tousan' he knew Naruto saw him and Takahashi as fathers. "Oh, hiya Takahashi-tousan." "Hello, Naruto-san, judging by that smile of yours you in the academy." said Hiashi. The boy nodded. Naruto was telling them about him making a Kage Bunshin. Haishi, Takahashi and Inoshi was amazed by Naruto's abilities. "Inoshi-sama, Hiashi-sama, Takahashi-sama good afternoon." said a feminine voice. The three said men turned to see the familiar sight of the short chocolate hair female with brown eyes. Inoshi spoke first, "Rin-chan its good to see you."
"Rin-neechan!" yelled Naruto as he latched on her waist. "So how your first day Naruto-kun?" "It was great, believe it." Rin smiled "So I take it that your children made it." The three very proud fathers nodded their heads yes in respond. "Well, excuse me. Naruot-kun and I must go get a few things." Rin bowed and left with Naruto.

~Streets of Konohagakure~

Naruto and Rin walked to a few places in the village that will allow them into their shops. So they did most of their shopping in the Takeda or Hyuuga Districts. They however found themselves in front of the most best place to buy ninja weaponary and gear; the Hachisuka Ninja Surplus Store.

As they walked, Naruto dumbfounded by all the weaponary from shuriken and senbon neddles to swords and different types of spears. Naruto then noticed a very cute girl, she wore a pink chinese shirt with blue jeans and she had chocolate brown hair that was tied in two buns and brown eyes, she appeared to be around his age. The girl was placing kunais on the shelves. Naruto found out that Rin even known this girl, since she called by name. "Hello, Tenten-san." The girl looked to see Rin and a boy that she didn't recognized. "Oh hey Rin-san." Naruto decided to introduced himself, "H-Hello I'm N-Naruto." he said blushing and Tenten blushed seeing him do it. "Well, it seems my little girl Tenten is going to be a little heartbreaker. Hahaha!!!" the deep voice came from a old man with brown hair and deep blue eyes and he seemed to be Tenten's father. The embrassed girl stomped her foot and demanded he stop embrassing her in front of 'cute boys', which in turned caused her to blushed deeper red from head to toe as she realized she said 'cute boys' instead of 'boys'. This caused the giant of a man to chuckle even more at his nine year old daughters' suspense. He patted her head and told to go help her mother and sister in the kitchen. "So, Rin-san how can I help you?" asked the old man. "Well, I just need things for a beginner in the academy. You know, kunai holster, a small supply of shuriken and kunai." The man looked at the young boy. "So you must be Naruto. Correct." "H-Hai, I'm Kazuma Naruto, sir" Naruto respectfully bowed his head. Rin's eyes sadden a little bit, when she found out earliar that day what Naruto's last name will be from now on and how opened to assassination attempts he'll be. "My name is Hachisuka Tenoshi... so lets get that stuff you'll most diffently need."

As the three went though all that was in the store. Tenoshi decided to ask the question of all questions. "So Naruto-kun what is your goal once you become a ninja?" Naruto responded with loud voice, "I am going to the next great Hokage someday, believe it." yelled Naruto. The old man smiled, "Thats great goal to reach for and its going to hard." "I know, but I am Yondaime's son and I can do anything." The two got what they needed and left the store. Tenoshi stared at the picture of the Fourth and simply smiled. `Well Arashi-san it seems that Naruto plans to surpass you. That's good it will be sad if he just when though his ninja career without a goal.' His thoughts was interupted by the form of his two twin daughters. Tenten looked around the store as in the search of something. Her father saw this of course and decide to have some fun. "Don't worry Tenten your crush will be back some other time." This made her blushed madly at that. "I don't have a crush!" the little girl yelled as stomped to the back of the store. This caused Tenoshi burst into laughter and his other daughter to wonder in confussion to what just happened, so she just shrugged her shoulders and left the front of the store.

~Hokage Tower~

The old gray haired leader of hidden leaf village sat his giant oak desk. He was pondering over what he just heard about a seriously evil man that use to be part of the village. He stared up from his desk at the black haired wolf kunoichi in front of him. He spoke in sullen voice, "Miss Kuchiki was it?..." she nodded, "...are you sure Ta-I mean Ookamikage is correct about Orochimaru and this unknown organization?"

"Hai, Hokage-sama. As I said our intellengence network believes this 'Hidden Sound Village' as they call themselves is indeed Orochimaru's hideout and that they might try something against this village as well other Hidden Leaf allied shinobi villages." said Rukia. "The organization is different story, we hardly known anything about them." she continued. The Hokage's glance shifted from the kunoichi to the man that was standing in the corner of the room in a black cloak with a red kibuki-play smiling face mask. "Kenshin-san, I want you to keep an eye on this disturbing development..." Kenshin nodded, "...oh take Ainaomi and Itachi with you as well."

"Hai, Hokage-sama. I will do it right a way." Kenshin said before he disappeared in a swirl of leaves. Hokage turned his attention back to the kunoichi. "Tell your Ookamikage thank you for the intellengence report and everything esle." Rukia bowed her head in respect gave a simple "Hai, Hokage-sama." and then left the room.

Sarutobi sat there in utter silence with much worry to him about his old student ambitions. He knew Orochimaru was crazy, hell everyone knew that, but what was he planning to do against Konoha's to the two most powerful of the village's clans. The only problem he had was to figure out which of the clans Orochimaru was planning to attack. He rubbed his temples, he really to old for this shit anymore.

~Somewhere in Konoha~
(That same night)

As everyone slept, few people was planning something monstrous that will alter a few people futures. A tall man about six foot one leaned against a tree in the middle of the forest. He wore a simple Leaf shinobi outfit, he wore his hitate on his forehead, but the metal part was to the left instead of the middle. As he casualy smoked his cigratte, two other people joined him both wearing the uniforms of the ANBU black ops. Both of them had hawk masks on, the only difference was colored marking on them. Both men took off their masks revealing oxny black hair and black eyes diffently the traits of the Uchiha, first both men activated their sharingans to make sure the man who they were to meet wasn't someone else using a henge. When confirmed they bowed respectfully to him, they spoke in unison, "Senma-sama." He shifted his silver eyes towards the men, "Sanzo-san, Shushi-san there is no reason to be so formal I am not like master, you know." The two men nodded. "Senma, did you get any word from master." "Yes, Sanzo-san, I most certianly did."

Took the liberty in telling the other two men his plan. Senma finished up with, "One part is that which one of you will kill Itachi, he will become quite troublesome." Shushi sadden, he know what had to be done, "Senma-sama, I'll do it, after all I am his friend so he won't suspect anything."

"Shushi and I will take care of the clan before he goes to Itachi." said Sanzo.

Senma nodded, "Very well then, I accept that. You may leave now." The two men nodded and vanished. He looked at the full moon and listened to the howls of wolves and wonder if they knew what they were planning. As he was about to walk away, he turned around and discharged a kunai. As the kunai sliced through the bushes, a shadowly figure jumped out. He stood across from Senma. Senma took in the image that the full moon light given him; long black silky hair; lavender emotionless eyes; headband over the forehead consealing a forbidden mark. Yep, he was from Hyuuga branch family.

Senma laughed, "So what is a little branch member of the Hyuuga family. Hmm, Hizaishi."

"I was out for a walk, when I heard about bunch of rats speaking." Hizaishi applied in venomous tone. Senma laughed again, "Go home Hyuuga or you'll die along with that boy of yours." This of course caused the Hyuuga go into blind rage, no one made a threats towards his son and live through it. In speeds that will impress anyone not related to Hyuuga, raced towards the traitorous Takeda. With the his Byagukan activated. he rushed towards him. Hizaishi was aiming for the chakra chords surrounding his heart, he planned to make one shot, one kill blow. With extreme burst of chakra Hizaishi placed his plam of his hand where the heart is located.

He connected. The two just stood there for a monment. The Takeda was trumbling not in fear, but in laughter. The man bursted out in laughing and then gave the Hyuuga a left upper cut making him fly a few yards back. As the Hyuuga tried to get back up, he looked up at the man, "B-But how, how the hell did you survive that? I know I stuck the right spot." Senma laughed at the bewilded Hyuuga. "You irrogent old fool you never heard of steel skin." Hizaishi's eyes widen, he heard rumors of steel skin, but he always that it was a myth. "Judging by yours eyes you probably thought it was some sort of myth created by Hidden Wolf Village. Well its not, it is very real." He said as he placed his hands in the ram handsign. "I can't fool around with you any longer, I have many preperations to deal with. Caged Bird Seal- Release!"

Hizaishi let out an unearthly scream as his brain was begin turned into jello. It stopped for second as he lied on the ground coughing up blood. Senma appeared over him, in a sickening voice, "Don't worry Hizaishi, I will make Neji's death alot less painful. If I can help it." Senma said as he pulled out a small glass cylinder with some liquid, more likely poison. He kneeled down and placed the liquid to Hizaishi's mouth covered his mouth and noise forcing Hizaishi to sollow the poison. All he can say before he died, "Neji, my boy, I'm sorry." For the first time tears begin to flow out of his eyes as he looked up at midnight sky and then slowly it when black.

Senma got up and walked away. He looked up again at the full moon, `Hmm, the next great moon of the princess will be red as blood. That will be great night for death.'

~Konohagakure Ninja Academy~

Neji worked in the doors of the academy with his head low. His father didn't came home last night to say goodnight. His cousin, Hinata, was alongside him. She was worried, her cousin never acted like this. She was kinda scared to ask him what was wrong, but she was getting tried of this pitiful look on his face. She looked up to her cousin, he was one of her inspirations. She took deep breath and asked, "Neji-kun, what wrong? You been like this since we left the compound." He sighed, "Tou-san didn't say good night to me or come home last night." Hinata was surpised the least, she knew that her uncle was one the bodyguards that watched Naruto, but also knew he will always come home and tell Neji good night.

That's when he noticed Naruto walking towards them, "Hey, Hinata-chan, Neji. How are you guys this morning." "Hi, N-Naruto-kun." Hinata said blushing slightly. "Hello, Naruto. Naruto do you know what time my father got off guarding." Naruto shrugged his shoulders, "You might want to ask Kakashi-niisan or Rin-neechan. Their talking with Iruka-sensei." Naruto said pointing to his guardians. Neji nodded and said his goodbyes to Naruto and Hinata. He walked over to the guardians and wait patiencely for them to finish. Naruto looked at his friend beside him strangely, "Wats wrong with him, Hinata-chan?" Hinata just sighed and lead Naruto by the collar into the class.

"... so do you understand, what I am talking about Rin-san, Kakashi-san." The said persons nodded their heads yes. Rin rubbed her left temple and Kakashi looked well casual. The young boy that has been waiting patiently was finally able to speak, "Rin-sama, Kakashi-sama, may I ask you a question?" Rin looked at him, "N-Neji-san aren't you surposed to be in class now." "H-Hai, but father never showed up last night. I was just wondering if you knew where he went?" Rin bented down to eye level and in sweet sounding voice, "I am sure the Hokage asked him to do something." "I firgured that might be it but I'm just having a bad feelin something terrorable might have happened."
"How 'bout this Neji-san I go see where your father is and at lunch I came tell you that he is alright, alright." Kakashi said reassuringly. "A-Are you sure?" asked Neji. "Positive, I'm off today so there is no problem." "See Neji. Now I will take you to your classroom." said Rin. "Thank you." Neji said as he bowed his head.

As Kakashi was leaving the building, he noticed a few people He automatically recongized them as the Hokage, Hiashi and his friend Kenshin in his ANBU uniform. Kenshin noticed Kakashi walking out of the building and made a detour to him as the two old men walked on. Kenshin greeted the copy-nin, "Kakashi-san, greetings." Kakashi just nodded his response. "So whats wrong Kenshin-san." asked Kakashi.

Kenshin let out mournful sigh, "About an hour ago, Hyuuga Hizaishi's body was found... he was murdered." Kakashi's eye almost poped of his head. "Do you or anyone knows who did it?" "No, but the person must be of this village to have the knowledge of Caged Bird Seal. Whats wrong with you, Kakashi?" asked Kenshin, looked at his masked friend. Even with the mask that basically covered most of his face. Kenshin was still able to see his emotions in his exposed right eye. The emotions of regret and sadness, something he have not seen in a while... a long while. "I shorta of made a promise to Neji that everything was alright and nothing to worry about." answered Kakashi. That poor kid, he might be a Hyuuga, but he was still a child. "Might as well go in." said Kenshin as walked inside the academy followed closely by Kakashi.

As the two jounin walked towards Neji's classroom. They must be outside for a little while, because of the look of shock and disbelief on Neji's face, told them that he knew. The boy sulked down and stopped trembling. He felt to his knees. He wanted to believe that this was just a bad dream, but the feeling of sadness and pain rushing though his body made it imposible for him not to accept it. His father was dead.

(one month later)

It been one full month since Neji's dad's death and still no one was brought to justice for the murder. To him it was tradegy, his father was an icon to him, his hero, everything to a young boy. His father was all he had left in his life, he never knew his mother she died when he was around two or something.

He sat on the bench in the academy courtyard looking up at the sky. Thinking. He was doing this alot, but he was brought out of his thoughts, by sweet voice, "Neji-san, kaa-san said you left w-without lunch." the lavendered eye girl holding out a bento lunch box. She was not alone, her blue eye friend, Naruto was with her. "Hinata-chan, thank you. Naruto-san, its good to see you." "You're welcome." "Some Neji. So do you want to spar after school." asked Naruto. Neji never blamed Naruto for his father's death, Naruto was one of his sparring partners and friend/rivals. Neji just shook his head no. "Today is Kaoru's birthday and I need to get her present. So I'll be busy, Naruto." said Neji.

Naruto on the other hand totally forgot about his friend's nineth birthday. "Oh man I forgot about today!" Naruto said panicking. As Naruto panicked about not getting Kaoru a present, Neji and Hinata finished their lunches. Neji gave his thanks and bowed to Hinata. Hinata bowed back in her respect of her cousin. As Neji walked off back to class, she just looked at her friend, she just sighed and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and dragged him off kicking and screaming to Iruka's class.

In class, a boy with oxny black hair with black eyes stared at the short blonde hair with silver eyes, Takeda Kaoru. He was considered the most popular boy in the class so far. He was igoring his fan club of girls as walked up to Kaoru. Unlike the girls with the espection of Hinata, she didn't really noticed the Uchiha. He noticed that she was reading a plant growth book and was really in to it. `So she like plants, well at less I know what to get her birthday present is.' Sasuke thought as he cleared his thoat as was about to speak, "Um. Kaoru-san..." the girl heard him and looked up from the plant book. "Huh, Oh. Sasuke-san. Yes, what can I do for you?" "Um. why didn't you invite me to your birthday party." said Sasuke, `Good Sasuke sound selfless that will moooooost diffently NOT get you to her party.'

"Oh I forgot." said Kaoru as she pulled out slap of paper. "I ran out of invites the other day and finally made one for you, well here." Sasuke took the slap of paper. "Thanks."

"Oh and Sasuke-san no flowers or books or ninja gear. It have to be unique." said Kaoru grinning wildly at him, totally ignoring the glares from his fan club. As soon as she said Sasuke faced sinked low, he was a that very moment thinking of what kind flower to give. He had to be unique. Before he could say anything else, Hinata dragged Naruto into the classroom, of course the class thought this pretty funny. But that was soon shot down as right behind them was their teacher. "Okay class settled down. Please take your history books and turned to the reign of the Shodaime Hokage." said Iruka. The kids groaned as they did what they was told. Iruka smiled at his students agony.

~Uchiha District entrance~
(later that night)

Sasuke was walking from the Takeda district, he had a every good time at the party. He was slightly mad that his father was only there to arrange a political marriage with him and Kaoru, even thou he knows about the relationship between his brother Itachi and Ainoami, Kaoru's big sister. As he thought about it, he wouldn't mind marrying someone like Kaoru, she alot better than those annoying fangirls that he seemed to aquired a few weeks ago. He was so in his train of thought that he didn't notice the buildings lights were all off. Sasuke finally looked at his surroundings and was spooked a little. "Its far to early for the shops to be closed." Sasuke said, as he looked at his watch. He walked a little faster towards the main house of the Uchiha district. Once he turned down the street that his home is on, he was stopped by a grazzily sight. Bodies. Bodies of his fellow clan members. Men. Women. Even several of his cousin that is his age were dead. He was getting really scared. He did the one thing he could think of. He ran. He ran straight to his home with his eyes closed, so he couldn't see the dead bodies on ground. Bad idea. Since he had his eyes closed he couldn't see where he was going. He ran into a wall of flesh, he shook his head and looked up to see red menacing eyes of the Sharingan. He reconigzed the person, "Sanzo-san, what hap-" Sasuke was interrupted by a knee to the stomach and then Sanzo grabbed him flung Sasuke to two pair of bodies. As Sasuke was sitting up he noticed that he was in something warm and wet. He gulped and slowly looked at his hands. Blood. He slowly turned his head to his the faces of his mother and father. Thats when he felt a sharp pain in his left arm. He let out a scream of pain. Sanzo has stabbed him with his sword. Sasuke head faulted as Sanzo pulled out his sword, "Why-Why you did this Sanzo-san? Why?!" Sanzo smirked, "Because I was told to and to become powerful than any ninja on this planet." He said as he lifted his sword another striking bow to Sasuke's head. He looked up at his cousin's face. He closed his eyes and wait for death to claim him.

Ching

Sasuke heard the sound of metal hitting metal. He opened his eyes to see that Sanzo sword was knocked out of his hands. Without hesiatation he turned the left of him to see none other than his brother. "Itachi-niisan." Sasuke said with glee and he smirked at the traitor, Sanzo, "You in for it now." "Shut up you brat." Sanzo went to kick him only to be flown back by a kick from Itachi. Sanzo landed on the ground clinching his now brused rib cage. "Sasuke, are you hurt?" Sasuke was holding his arm trying to stop the bleeding. "That bastard stabbed me!" Sasuke said. The two brothers heard laughter from the roof top. Both of them looked up to see Senma Takeda. "Well, well. This is sure a disappointment I was really hoping that Shushi-san did his job, by the look of it he failed. So did you Sanzo."

"Master please..."

"SHURIKEN KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!" Senma yelled as one hundred and eighty shurikens appeared and went straight towards Sanzo. The shurikens hit ground creating a cloud of dust. Once the cloud settled, Sasuke saw a more horrific sight. Sanzo's body was inpaled by the majority of the shurikens, from head to tow was shuriken. Sasuke passed out on the ground from the blood lost and his mind couldn't comphened the glore. "Sasuke..." Itachi yelled as he saw his brother go down.

"Tsk, tsk, how upset this make me." said Senma as he literally floated to the ground. "I thought giving powers beyond their Sharingan, would be worth them doing this... Itachi-san I would like it if you'll join me. I know someone that will give you power beyond your wildest dream." Itachi's glaced all that was around him, his sight rested on his dead mother and father and his unconscious brother, then his thoughts went to the girl he is in love with... Ainaomi. `Noooooo...' Itachi closed his eyes and faced the traitorous Takeda. He opened his eyes to reveal his Sharingan, but not just any Sharingan. Senma got a good look in Itachi's eyes, it wasn't just any Sharingan where there was only surpposed to be three commas was a large pinwheel. Senma knew what it was. "T-Thats the Mangekyou Sharingan, But how was you able to achieve that." Senma shuttered, then he smirked. "You think that will work against me, Itachi-san. I know how to fight the Sharingan." he said as he pulled out his sword. "Roar, Slicing Wind" he muttered. His sword glowed a bight white light and changed into a whip that had what appeared to be shurikens attached to one another. "What the hell is that?!" Itachi said never seeing something like this before. Without saying anything Senma with slight motion of his wrist lash his steel whip at him. It was so fast it wrapped around Itachi's left arm before he could move. Like a fisherman that caught something he was bring him in. Itachi quickly anchored himself in the ground and grabbed it with his left hand and they started to play a game of tag-a-war. Due to all the blood that was caming out his left arm, he lost his grip and proceeded to go though a series of hand signs with his good hand. "Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu." This made Senma to move out of the way, making his sword to recoil from Itachi's weakened left arm. As Senma thrown two kunais at Itachi. He quickly brought up his right arm to block the kunais, which entered his elbow and hand, now making his right arm useless. `Damn it. now what to do? I can't believe he got me so easy.' Itachi was brought out of his thoughts, but laughter.

"So, Itachi prepared to give up and join me or you rather die." Senma said as he smiled at the disabled Uchiha. Itachi took another look at his dead parents and his unconscious brother. He couldn't betray his parent's memories or his little brother. He was brought out of his thoughts by Senma's snickering. "Think about Itachi, I will even spare your brother's life and don't worry, Ainaomi is still alive, along with your unborn child." His eyes went big, noone know about their relationship or that fact Ainaomi is week and half pregnant for that matter. "H-How did you know?" he managed to shuttered out. Senma laughted again. "I knew I can use it as leverage to make you submit. To be seriously honest with you. I set up your stupid cousins..." "W-Why?" Senma smiled. "... because master asked to see if you'll join him." Senma said this as he transformed his sword again. "Well? What-" He was interuppted by a large explosion that erupted next to him.

Itachi closed eyes to avoid some of the debris. He heard his name be called by a very familiar and sweet voice. He opened to see the teary eyes of a woman, he was so in love with. "Ainaomi..." Itachi was able to say before for he pass out. "Itachi!" she screamed out. She quickly checked out his vitals, to her relief he was all right. She turned to see the cloud of dust to settle and she saw the silhouettes of to men. They was intangled in a sword deadlock. Apparently, Senma's blade was in shock of the sudden blast that it reinverted back to its original state. "Hmm. It seems that you found their bodies... " Senma said as he looked in the, not silver eyes, but green demonic irises, where the white was surposed to be was replaced with blood crimson red. His facial appearance changed as well. He had red colored markings on his face, along with fangs and his hands was claw like. "You...traitor." Senma decided to be one step up. He pushed out of the sword deadlock. He moved a few feet away from his now demonic cousin. He to began to change to a demonaoid as well. He had the same facial features by the markings on his face was diffent. "Might as well fight this the right way. How 'bout it, Kenshin!!!" Senma roared as he rushed towards his cousin. Kenshin leaped up in the air to avoid the traitor. He began to do the hands sign and ended with boar, "Fire Style: Flower of the Phoenix." Six balls of flames hit the ground encircling Senma and stopping him in his tracks. "Damn it" Senma cussed. "Fire Style: Fire Dragon Assualt" massive plume of fire in shape of a dragon came from Kenshin's mouth, as he was still in the air and hit the ground with enough force that it knocked down two buildings on either side of the street. This, of course, caused more debris, smoke and flames from the two fire jutsu, along with ash and dust to fill the air. Kenshin dropped to ground, "Senma !!!!!!!!!!!!" He yelled out as he returned to normal. There in front of him was the still body of his traitorous cousin. He was smoking, but the body started to chumble to ground. This however sent alarm bells ringing in Kenshin's head. `Earth clone jutsu or was it...' "... Blood Shadow Clone." the voice appeared behind him and out of instinct he did a back spin kick for his head. But he was on the receiving end of an axe kick into the ground. "Hmm, pathetic..." his glaze went to the two unconscous Uchiha and their for now 'protector'. He smirked at the fourteen year old girl, as she went into her dual-blade battle stance. "It ends here Senma..."`How can I beat him, he defeated brother so easy.' this was one of the thoughts that plagued her mind. Senma's smile grew bigger, "We'll see about that." Ainaomi narrowed her eyes for a second in flash he was gone. She being to panic and she started to look around fanaticly for him. He appeared next to her and did a spin kick. She duck and countered with one the blades slashing upwards. He was on her side this time and it was to late for her counter the punch to her rib cage. She fell to the ground a few feet away. She dropped one of the swords and clinched her now brusied rib cage. She can tell that she had two broken ribs. Senma rushed her and threw series of punches as she desperately tried to block him. He was so fast, even faster then Itachi. Senma decided to give blow that would devestate her. He recoiled his right fist and enforced it with it his chakra. At the last minute she noticed this movement, but her reaction time was just to slow. His punch connected with her stomach and she few back into a building down the street.

He was about to do an attack, when he sensed something. ANBU. Lots of them. He counted about the entire force was caming to this spot. He took a look at the moon he was right. Red. Red as the blood that flow inside him. `It was a great night for death' He left the survivors to live in hatred and vengefulness. He disappeared in the dark void of the night.

The Hokage, along with ANBU and other Jounin and Chuunin shinobi entered to the half destroyed district. One thought acrossed their minds 'Kami-sama, what kind of mad man would do such a thing?'

"Find the one's that are at less to be able to live and get the died to morge of the hospital." announced the Hokage hoping that someone of the Uchiha clan is still alive at least. "Hokage-sama only four people are still alive and the rest is died!" yelled ninja.

~Konoha Shinobi Hospital~

Ainaomi slowy opened her eyes. "Ainaomi" she heard her name. "Ainaomi, can you hear me?" That voice, she was trying to figure who it was. Then it hit her she remembered that voice.
"I-Itachi." the figure was blury. "Someone get a nurse." "Itachi-kun, is that you?" Itachi at her with soft eyes. "Yes, its me baby." Her eyes went big.`Baby...' "My baby!" she yelled as she shot up. Tears began to flow from her eyes as she remember the punch she received in the stomach. "Ainaomi-san..." she looked at the person in the room and then at the brown hair woman that was next to him. Totally ignoring her brother, "Rin-san, my baby. I am week-n-half pregnant. Do I still have it." Rin head stunk down. She spoke softly, "I-I don' know,
Ainaomi-san." Ainaomi closed her eyes trying to hold back the tears.

"Ainaomi-san." said the doctor as he walked in the room. "Doctor, my baby, do I still have it?" The doctor sat on the stool in front of the bed. "Doctor!" she yelled again, getting the old man's attention. He let out a heavy breath. "I am very sorry to inform of this Ainaomi-hime, but the baby was lost." She being to cry, even coughing it up. Itachi sat next to her and brought her into his arms as cried. "It will be alright, Ai-chan." he said patting the back of her long blonde hair.

"N-No it won't, I-I failed you." she managed to speak out under the tears. "No, no you you didn't fail me or anyone else." "B-But the baby. I-I wasn't f-fast e-enough t-to bl-lock it." he brought up her chin and wrapped the tears from her face. "I still love you, Ainaomi." he said reassurinly, "... and nothing will change that." She felt her heart burst as she latched on to him and cried in the crock of his neck.

After the sad moment, they was walking down they already checked on Sasuke he was doing alright exsecpt for his arm which was in a sling. The two lovers walked in front of Kenshin and Rin as they walked down the hall to one of the rooms in the I.C.U. sector of the hospital. The four walked into a room that was occupated by few people. There was a woman with long black hair laying in the bed with thousands of tubes caming in and out of her. His seven-year-old sister, Suzuko lying on the bedside of her mother. Kaoru sleeping in a chair. Takimaru in the corner of the room with a dead look on his face, he still had some blood on his shirt. He wasn't hurt.The doctor that was watching over their mother walked over to Kenshin and the two men went outside into the hall.

"Hows my mother, Doctor Kazekura?" The doctor let out heavy sigh, "I-I don't know how to tell you Kenshin-dono." said Dr. Kazekura. "Just tell me, doc." The old man nodded, "W-We can't stop the internal bleeding. We tried everything. There was some serious damage to all of her internal organs. Honestly I don't know how she'd last this long." "So you'll saying that you can't do anything." said Kenshin, who trying his best from striking something.

"Hai, Kenshin-dono. We believe she have hour in half of life left in her." said Dr. Kazekura. He turned around and walked down the hall to do his other rounds. Kenshin peared into the room of his mother. He saw that she was up and chatting softly with his siblings, while Rin and Itachi stood off to the side.

Kenshin was about to walk in, when he heard a familiar voice, "Kenshin-san..."
