[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

I do not own Naruto

Rasengan86…Why the heck Arashi hasn't yet? Remember he hasn't technically learned it yet. He's still working on the ability to do so. Yep and yep…and do remember Sacrifice has many meaning not just giving up one's self.

Chapter 44

With Time things always happen. Although he is the master of it, due to his hundreds of split personalities, nothing ever comes out the same way twice….

Arashi watched as Naruto worked hard on his meditation. After having had the discussion with him on the seals, it was time for the Father and son to work on his limit. The young man's determination had greatly increased his ability and he had made strides in controlling the aspects of his body down to the cellular level.

Although with the Fox in him, he has never needed to do. Things that came down to that part of his body, the Kyuubi did by habit, because Naruto and the Fox did share the same body. But to use the Hiriashin, Naruto needed to be able to control his own body down to the smallest detail.

“Naruto…think you can do a run to show me how much you have improved?”

Nodding his head, the youth leaps up and stretches his legs for a moment. Starting to do a light run as before, Arashi smiles as the marks of his passing with each step, become lighter and lighter…

It is to the point, where Naruto is lightly skimming the grass tips in the yard…

“You can stop now Naruto.” Arashi yelled.

Puzzled as he had only run about half the yard, the youth does so and approaches with a curious expression. Grinning Arashi gestures for him to sit down.

“You have definitely improved, in fact done so more then what I expected Naruto. Now we are going to have to alter your meditation a little bit.”

“What do you mean?”

“Chakra, can help you alter your perception of mass correct?”

“Yes. But usually with the added benefit of weights.” Naruto replies. “By making the bodies heavier, we use chakra to move normally, never realizing that in doing so, our bodies are getting used to the weight. And by the time we take them off and dispel the chakra, it feels like we are considerably faster.”

“Well Naruto, what I am about to do is to help you learn the Hiriashin. As you meditate now, see if you can push your chakra into the same kind of equal points on your body. Eventually you will know you have succeeded when you see this happening…”

Turning to look at his father, Naruto watches as Arashi quietly and with ease slips into what has become habit. The yellow chakra radiating off his skin, becomes a warm light around the older man. One that Naruto can't help but reach out to touch.

Playfully, as if with a will of its own, the chakra gives him a little shock that causes him to back up some. Giving a growl of annoyance as a little bit of a chuckle emanates from his father's lips; Naruto just out right tackles Arashi in what could only be a wrestling match.

As this is going on, two ANBU smile and look at one another. Normally not allowed to show emotions, the Wolf and the Hawk had taken in their spare time to guarding the newly reformed Uzamaki-Kazama clan. Well despite being only two people if you could call it that…

They had noticed that slowly, the father and the son were coming together and admittedly it was a little too quick in their opinion. But it seems to be working out thanks to their housekeeper. Observing the red headed woman come out, the two are startled as a messenger bird is released from within her grasp.

Suspicious now all of a sudden, because of the incident the other day with the Yamanakas, Wolf looks at Hawk who nods his head. The ANBU had been told to watch for any movement that is considered unusual by a woman.

The housekeeper releasing a messenger bird of some sort was indeed unusual…

The youth wasn't going anywhere at the moment, therefore Wolf could watch both the father and the son, until Hawk returned. The bird had been seen flying towards the town…

Stealthily and with calm control, Hawk followed the flyer. His feet were moving faster then most ninjas as he leapt from tree to building and back to tree again. The ANBU were the masters of Stealth as not even a sound fell or a leaf moved from where they had passed.

The bird flying true, the ANBU watched in puzzlement as it flew towards a series of buildings that belonged to one of the council members.

“Why is the bird flying to the ROOT headquarters?”

Elsewhere in the Sound Village…

Sasuke prowled around like a caged tiger. His frustrations mounting with each and every passing minute, the dark haired youth, was now aware of the power flowing through his body.

The curse mark had faded and according to Kabuto, that usually only happened when Orichamaru had won and taken over. But unlike before, the silver haired nin was puzzled. It was obvious by his cold stance and demeanor, that this was the younger of the Uchiha brothers.

So why did the curse seal finally disappear?

It took a training session to find out what had happened.

No longer able to maintain a source of origin with Orichamaru's death, the seals had faded deep within the youth's blood. Others that the Snake Sannin had bitten still maintained their seals. But they seemed weaker according to the question Kabuto had asked.

Like the power from them was being drawn elsewhere….

Thoughtful to the point he didn't like where this was heading…Kabuto had shaken his head in denial. But reports concerning the remaining sealed member in Konoha had confirmed her gleeful running in to report to the Hokage the condition of her seal.

It was a kept secret that one of Konoha's elite ninjas was Orichamaru's first apprentice, while he had lived there.

Still, thinking back to that fight…that fight where without a conscious thought, Sasuke had powered up. No marks had appeared on his body or anything. He just immediately went to level two and nearly killed every single last ninja in the room in record time.

This had surprised all as the Uchiha had a hint of a smile on his face…and that is what frightened them. For the young man never smiled unless he had found something he really liked…

And Kabuto knowing full well, the youth's desires had warned his other masters accordingly.

Surprisingly, his Akatsuki masters were amused. Especially Itachi…

He had refused to kill his closest friend in the Kyuubi vessel…does he honestly think he can kill me now?

As much as Kabuto would like to laugh and agree with his statement…something filled the Missing medic ninja with dread. Because usually, when either Uchiha smiles or is amused…these days…

Death is sure to follow…

With the Kyuubi….

Deep inside his cage, the Kyuubi thinks over what he had told his jailers. In his sleep Naruto could learn from the Fox demon a series of intricate seals that would need to be done at a speed unlike any other.

Of course they had both asked about what these seals would do and the Kyuubi had simply stated this…

It would take back what was given…

Startled for a moment, in confusion Naruto looked to his father, who was startled by this surprising notion.

“So Fox are you telling me you can take back that essence you had given them?” Arashi had stated calmly. “You would take back the cursed gift?”

Yes you have stated so yourself have you not? I am a demon and I feel they have had it enough…despite what I am mortal I do have some sense of honor. The Fox grumbled. Besides I need you to help me, if I am to do it…get your son learning your…whatsit technique and soon. The seals I will instruct him to do the force the demonic essence out of Uchihas blood will require speed.

A speed that so far only you, Hokage have been able to surpass…

Okay another chapter to add to the revise memo…

I am not to sure about this one…

Heh but anyway questions you think you may ask…

Why is the bird heading out to ROOT headquarters?

There is a rumor going around concerning the fore mentioned place and it is a theory I agree with as plausible. That someone else besides Anko had the seal…I will give you three guesses and the first two don't count.
