Chapter 2

Sasuke had stopped by the ramen stand, it was a unspoken promise to Naruto that ever year for the memorial held by his closest friends, he ordered the pork ramen and started to eat when he noticed the man beside him tense all of a sudden.

Sasuke raised his eyebrow slightly, that was odd that a fellow ninja even though they might be from another village would tense up all of a sudden, he had noticed the man’s odd hair color but what consider him was the large fox sitting by the man.

Sasuke took in what the man was wearing to try to figure out what village he was from, the man was wearing a black Jounin vest, black shirt, sandals, a very worn and patched tan, orange and black massager bag was strapped across the man’s chest and shoulder, the bag had a few pockets that held scrolls in them.

But the focus of his main consider was the large red fox laying at the man’s feet…the fox had nine tails and he knew that only one fox had that many tails but it was said to have died when Naruto had died that fateful day so long ago.

Kyuubi looked at the Uchiha brat and had chuckled him his mind slightly, like an overprotective pet, he growled slightly which earn him a soft nudge in his ribs.

“Quiet Namo I’m trying to have at least one peaceful meal without you growling at everybody”

Sasuke had chuckled slightly, Sasuke just past it off as an overprotective pet.

“It seems that your pet is overprotective of you Mr.?” asked Sasuke now looking at the red haired man and had long since finished off his bowl of ramen.

Naruto blinked slightly, Shit, thanks to Kyuubi he had drawn attention to himself.

“Rei Nuzamaki, and my pet is Namo and you are?” asked Naruto now looking at Sasuke.

“Sasuke Uchiha, pleasure to meet you Mr.Nuzamaki, so where are you headed?” asked Sasuke, he noticed that the man was a travel and a shinobi.

“I was heading to the Hokage Tower, there is a scroll I have to deliver to the Lady Hokage but my stomach got the better of me”

Sasuke had chuckled abit. “I was on my way there now so you can follow me, I would of gone much sooner but I had to pay tribute to an old friend”

“Oh? May I ask you who? If it’s not any trouble that is” said Naruto, he was wondering if this had any relation of him being ‘dead’ as well as why Sasuke was now in the village acting like nothing happen, like he never left to go to avenge his clan and kill his brother.

“I don’t mind” said Sasuke now getting up to pay for both of their ramen, even though Naruto offered to pay for his own, he would of liked to ate more than just one after being gone for so long but didn’t for fear of eating his normal fifteen or so bowls and didn’t want to draw any more attention to himself.

“To answer your question before we left, it was to pay respect to a fellow comrade by the name of Naruto Uzamaki, he was on a mission to bring me back from the snake sannin by the name of Orochimaru but he died in battle”

Naruto blinked slightly, he never thought that Sasuke would do something like that for him, his old self wanted to jump right out and hug the poor boy and tell him that he was alive and tell everyone but shaking his head mentality, it wasn’t time yet, there was a mission to be done.

“So, how did you escape from Orochimaru? Surely he would not let someone like you go so easy”

Sasuke would than shrug. “I don’t know, all he said that he had no further use of me, I blacked out and woke in a Konoha hospital and was filled in and pardon with a year of supervision”

Naruto than shrugged, something was not adding up but what was Orochimaru’s plan?

After getting past all the security in the tower, it was Naruto’s turn, #Shizune, Tsunade’s sectary was standing there with her to learn what was going on, they never saw the symbol that was on the man’s headband and was consider about the fox who was now laying down by the man’s feet swaying it’s nine tails back and forth.

Before Tsunade could ask this man who he was, he spoke.

“Lady Tsunade…if you may…I rather discuss this in private, without your sectary and the hidden Anbu in this room that are blended in with the walls and such.”

Tsunade was abit dumbfound, how could he have know about the hidden Anbu in the room?, with a sigh she dismissed the Anbu and Shizune, once they had left she looked at the man sitting in front of her.

“First off…let’s start with your name than work our way to why you have come here” said Tsunade looking at the man and was wondering about him…he was giving off the senesce of clam and power that she couldn’t place but have yet felt before.

“ My name is Rei Nuzamaki, and my pet is Namo, We come from the Nuzamaki clan of the hidden whirlpool, sadly I am the last person of my clan able to have a pact with kitsune sprits”

Tsunade would just nod…so maybe this fox wasn’t the demon sprit Kyuubi, besides the man who called himself Rei seemed to have him under control.

“I thought the Whirlpool village was wiped out during the last great ninja war, that no one in the village was left alive, since we haven’t heard from them since.”

Naruto would just nod abit. “The Whirlpool Village was wiped out and we are slowily rebuilding I manage to convince the Whirlpool’s leader to come out of hiding long enough to make sure the village will start to get on it’s feet”

Tsunade would nod slightly, this was good, maybe once the village gets up and running they could become allies in the future, she than looked at Rei. “Alright than…that leaves the question of why you wanted this meeting in private.”

Rei glanced around slightly and made sure no one was listing in to what was about to say, moving to his bag he pulled out a sealed scroll than handed it to Tsunade who opened it after biting her finger and transferring her charka to disarm the seal.

As she read through the contents of the scroll her eyes widen, looking from the scroll to Rei and back to the scroll.

“But…but this is impossible! How could you have gotten your hands on this sort of information?! We tried for years to get someone into Orochimaru’s base without them being found out”


Naruto than grinned slightly. “I have my ways Lady Hokage…but as for now, as a Shinobi of the hidden whirlpool, I offer my service of knowledge and seals to bring down Orochimaru once and for all”
