Authors Notes: I decided to change Naruto trench coat color from black to orange with black flames at the ends similar to the Yondaime's coat. I also want to make a correction about Helena's father' name its Fame Douglas not Shane Douglas sorry about that.

 

 

 

 

Tokyo Japan

 

 

 

The three leaf ninjas were in one of Donovan's personal limousine's as an escort to take them to their destination which they were surprise that it was Donovan's mansion the, the people in charge of the tournament told them that the rest of the competitors were heading their as well. This was a perfect opportunity to find out more about the master of DOATEC since they knew much already thanks to Tsunade but it was also a good opportunity to gather some information concerning the snake sanin Orochimaru well at least that was what Sakura's was thinking anyway, because Naruto and Sasuke were only thinking in finding out more about their opponents in the tournament. Naruto already meet Tina who he was thinking about he couldn't help but blush she was a bomb shell indeed he try not to have a nose bleed as he focused on the tournament more than the mission he was given. Sasuke meet the young apprentice of the deceased Xing Yi Quan master Gen Fu Eliot and he already became acquainted with him, another fighter he meet was the dragon Jann Lee who he saw as a worthy opponent and looking forward to fight in the tournament next to the super ninja Ryu Hayabusa.

 

After an hour of traveling and watching the beautiful city of Tokyo they arrived at Donovan's mansion and the three were very shock at the sight of the mansion. The mansion was huge it was as big as a building it had a taste of modern European culture with Japanese culture it was an impressive sight. The only word that came to the leaf ninjas minds was wow without continuing to admire the great achievement of arquitecture they went inside. When they enter they were more in awe the mansion was bigger inside than on the outside, the butler greeted them and show them to them to the main hall. As they arrived at the main hall they saw a group of people present Naruto immediately saw Tina who was arguing with her father the same man that chase them back at the ship, Sasuke saw Eliot and Jann Lee Eliot was trying to make a conversation with the dragon but it was no good Jann Lee just say small words like yeah or okay so he wasn't much of a talker Sakura recognize Lisa and Helena she had her blue bow tied around her blond hair into a ponytail style and she was wearing her usual uniform(AN the first costume in DOA4) and Lisa with a red mini skirt a red jacket and a pair of black high heels she also saw Christie wearing a black leather jacket and black leather pants she was only glaring at Helena while the opera singer was just ignoring her killer glare. The three leaf ninjas also recognize the two male fighters who advanced the preliminaries with them the Tae Won Do master Tenchi and the Spanish martial artist Felipe, also present in the hall was the girls that watch the preliminaries and a few guys including a bald dark skin guy in his early twenties wearing sunglasses(AN Zack is wearing the first costume in DOA4) and another man wearing an army camouflage uniform with dark green eyes he had an expression that means business.

 

The three ninjas went to them and they were greeted by their new friends and rivals while Felipe was just looking around the mansion.

 

Felipe whistle” vaya vaya el senor Donovan tiene mucho dinero”

 

Helena who knows spanish just shook her head” no its blood money made from the hands of corruption”

 

“Really looks like you have issues with him?”

 

“You have no idea” Helena said in a serious tone

 

“I see by the way the name is Felipe De la Cruz what's yours?”

 

“It's Helena”

 

“Senorita Helena its an honor to meet you”

 

Helena gave a small smile and nodded” I'm pleased to meet you too Felipe”

 

Naruto watch with a smile at the two looks like it was the start of a beautiful friendship or the beginning of a great rivalry, suddenly Tina got in front of him.

 

“Hey there Naruto?”

 

Naruto blush” oh Tinachan hi”

 

After hearing the term Tinachan Tina's father Bass was glaring at Naruto whom he notice it and back away a little he didn't wanted to make a scene so he would back off, however Tina was acting like nothing happened she was ignoring her father.

 

“Hey Tina is this the one you told me about?” Lisa said while staring at Naruto

 

“Yup it's him”

 

“Hi Naruto I'm Lisa nice to meet you I already know you're friend Sakura”

 

“Thanks Lisa I really like meeting the competition” Naruto said with his fox grin

 

“At least we know some friendly competition” Sakura said

 

Another girl came to them” hello my name is Kokoro I'm looking forward to fighting you in the tournament”

 

(Talk about positive attitude) Sasuke thought with a smirk

 

“Same with me my name is Hitomi and you guys better not hold back on me or you will be beaten” she said with a smile

 

“Me too I'm Lei Fang and don't hold back or you will regret it”

 

“Who said anything about holding back I won't be holding back” Naruto said

 

“The same goes with me” Sasuke said

 

Sakura sweat dropped seeing her two teammate's confidence (looks like I will have to lecture them later)

 

Jann Lee just shook his head and Lei Fang notice it” what's wrong with you Mr. serious?”

 

“Nothing” Jann Lee replies in a gloomy tone

 

“Why do you sound gloomy all of the sudden oh I get it you're still down that I beat you in the third tournament aren't you?” Lei Fang said with a smirk

 

“And I defeated you in the fourth tournament”

 

Lei Fang pouted and turn her back to him in a sign to ignore him while Jann Lee just look normal like it didn't bother him Sakura saw the little display and went next to Lisa.

 

“Are they always like this?”

 

“Oh yeah always but that's their way of hiding it you know they are totally in denial” Lisa whisper the last part making Sakura giggle

 

“I guess love is blind” Tenchi said

 

“Not quite if you know that there's a sudden attraction to someone then you will know about those feeling its quite simple like science” Lisa said

 

“Its that simple to you Lisa then you will immediately know when you find that special someone” Tenchi said

 

“Yeah and it seems that I might just found him” Lisa said as she wink at him making the Tae Won Do master blush crimson

 

Tenchi was still blushing he didn't know what to say so he decided to stay quiet while Lisa giggle looks like this tournament was going to be more interesting than the last one.

 

(Oh the shy type huh don't worry Tenchi I will fixed you up) Lisa thought as she giggle to herself

 

“Sorry for keeping you all waiting”

 

The group turned to see a man in his early forties wearing a black suit the leaf ninjas recognize him as the man they meet at the ship. Everyone was paying attention to what he was about to say, Chrstie didn't care she only focus on her task she took a quick glance at Helena before looking back at the man with the business suit. Bayman was crackling his knuckles and his neck he didn't care about the competition there was only one thing in his mind and it was his mission at hand to eliminate Victor Donovan.

 

“Welcome on behalf of master Donovan I welcome you all to his mansion unfortunately the master can't come to greet you personally because he's always busy” he cough a little

 

(As always he's not showing up because a lot of people wants him death) Lisa thought as she look at Helena then at Bayman and there was also Hayate but they weren't present the same with Hayabusa and Ayane

 

“Hum it seems that they are people missing?” the man said as he looked at the group” it doesn't matter they will show up at the quarter finals ceremony tonight at the DOA dome”

 

“Um…. hey man how about you talk to your boss and tell him to give me some money I do need it” the black bald man said

 

“Zack that's not going to work” Tina said

 

“Well of course you will get the money when you win the tournament you will get the prize money”

 

“I was talking about a finance aid” Zack said in a low voice (I really need the money my poor little island I have to rebuild it)

 

Tina sweat dropped (looks like he wants to rebuild his island again I do admit it's a nice place to spend a vacation)

 

“Now you all are welcome to assist the welcome party held at the ballroom there will be music refreshments all that entertainment so feel free to go the announcement to see who will fight who will be held at the DOA dome tonight after the party we will escort you there those who want to assist the party follow me”

 

“Well might as well have some fun before the big event” Naruto said

 

Sakura nodded while Sasuke smirk they left along with the others except for Christie and Bayman looks like they weren't the type to like parties. When they arrived at the ballroom there was some techno music playing and lots of people dancing there was also a bar near the dance floor, Naruto was really amazed at the sight of the place no doubt that Donovan had money to spend. Felipe invite Helena to a drink and she kindly accepted Kokoro Hitomi went to the dance floor they wanted to show some of their moves to the crowd, Lei Fang shockingly ask Jann Lee to dance but he nervously decline her invitation which made her upset she blew him off and join Kokoro and Hitomi in the dance floor. Lisa ask Tenchi to dance with her and he didn't hesitate although he couldn't erased the blush from his cheeks, Zack shook his head the music was out of rhythm the DJ wasn't making a good job so he went towards him and give him some money to leave the place he then took his place put his headphones and started playing some techno music.

 

“AL RIGHT HERE'S YOUR NEW DJ ZACK WITH SOME OF MY OWN STYLE REMIX NOW SHAKE YOUR THING AND GET DOWN ON THE DANCE FLOOR”

 

Tina smirk looks like when it comes to making good techno music Zack was the king she look at Naruto who was still looking at the dance floor she took his hands and drag him to the dance floor.

 

“Tinachan what are you doing?”

 

“Dance with me” was her only reply

 

“But…but I don't know how to dance”

 

“Its al right just follow my movements”

 

Naruto nodded as they arrived at the crowded dance floor Tina began to move her body to the rhythm of the music and Naruto copy her moves, in a couple of minutes Naruto got the hang of it and started dancing like a pro along with Tina who was smiling and enjoying herself. The crowd were checking their moves and they were impressed pretty soon they became the center of attention the crowd form a circle and the two were doing a dance off. Naruto was really enjoying himself he actually like dancing with the blond bombshell they were happy and just enjoying the moment.

 

Sasuke and Sakura couldn't believe what they were seeing their teammate and friend was actually dancing like he was the king of all dancing and he was dancing with a hot woman for them it was something that you don't see everyday. Eliot was next to them he was quiet and he was staring at the dance floor however Sakura notice that he was staring at the three girls Lei Fang, Hitomi and Kokoro.

 

“I can't believe Naruto is dancing and with a woman” Sasuke said

 

Sakura raise an eyebrow” does it shock you that much Sasukekun?”

 

“Yeah he's Naruto”

 

Sakura giggle” well even someone like Naruto has his chance every once in a while”

 

Sasuke smirk he then saw that Eliot was still next to him

 

“What about you Eliot aren't you going to dance?”

 

Eliot blush he then shook his head quickly” no….I was never a good dancer”

 

“Is that so?” Sakura said she then smirk” because it seems to me that you're more interested in being with one of the girls which one is it Hitomi, Lei Fang or Kokoro?”

 

Eliot blush from Sakura's comment after hearing Kokoro's name which made Sakura's smirk grew wider(I knew it looks like Eliot has a small crush on Kokoro)

 

“Come on Eliot talk to her dance with her” Sakura said encouraging him

 

Eliot blush again” I…I….I can't I'm sorry I have to go” he then left

 

Sakura sighed” looks like he's shy he has to do something about that”

 

Sasuke was going to say something when he something caught his eye in the dance floor he saw that Naruto was in a tight spot when he was between Bass and Tina, apparently Bass wasn't happy that his only daughter was dancing with some guy and he was very upset. Tina was more upset with him she was sick of always being bother by her father he just couldn't understand that she wasn't a little girl anymore and she hated the fact that he was so overprotective of her.

 

Naruto was getting nervous he didn't wanted to cause a scene in the dance floor he was about to leave until took his hand.

 

“I'm sorry Naruto looks like our dance its over because of a certain someone” Tina said as she glare at her father

 

“I am not someone I'm your father and I am not going to let you dance with this twerp”

 

A small vein pop on the back of Naruto's head(twerp why I should beat him up just for that)

 

“JUST LEAVE ME ALONE DADDY” Tina shouted in frustration while leaving

 

Bass just ignore her demand and follow her out of the large room Naruto got back to Sasuke and Sakura.

 

“Naruto what was that all about?” Sakura said

 

“Naruto gave sheepish grin” overprotective father poor Tinachan”

 

“So daddy doesn't want you to date his daughter?” Sasuke said

 

Naruto blush deep” NO I am not dating her”

 

“Then you are bigger idiot than I thought any man would sold his soul to be with that kind of a woman” Sasuke said

 

Naruto sweat dropped” Sasuke you sound like you're an expert on the subject when you're NOT”

 

“Hn” was the Uchiha's only reply

 

Naruto sighed” I wonder if Kasumichan is here?”

 

Both Sasuke and Sakura eyes widened at his comment

 

“Naruto what did you just said?” Sakura said

 

“Oh I guess I didn't tell you guys I met Kasumi back at the ship”

 

“Kasumi you mean Kasumi from the Mugen Tenshin clan?” Sasuke said

 

“Hum I don't know if it was her, well she was wearing an outfit that made her look like a ninja”

 

“So its her?” Sakura said

 

“Well she told me that she like dressing up like a ninja so I don't know if she really is the one”

 

Sasuke and Sakura sweat dropped at his comment they couldn't believe what they just heard.

 

“Naruto you're such an idiot think about it if her name is Kasumi and she was wearing ninja clothing than its obvious she's the one from the Mugen Tenshin clan” Sasuke said

 

Naruto look dumbfounded” yeah I guess you're right”

 

Sasuke sighed” anyway I think we should take this opportunity to investigate this mansion we may find Donovan or even find out anything about Orochimaru”

 

“Yeah I agree” Naruto said

 

“Wait a minute you guys realize that this place must be crawling with security guards we get caught before the tournament even begins our mission may fail” Sakura said

 

“You're right Sakurachan but we wont get caught were ninjas you know” Naruto said with his fox grin

 

“We'll be fine Sakura” Sasuke said

 

“Maybe I should go with you guys?”

 

“Its okay Sakurachan the two us can take care of this just stay here and enjoy the party we'll be back before you know it”

 

Sakura sighed” fine but if you guys don't come back in two hours I'll come looking for you remember that we are in Donovan's mansion you two might ran into trouble”

 

The two ninjas nodded and left to the restrooms while Sakura decided to go to the dance floor and dance with her new friends and rivals in the upcoming tournament.

 

Naruto and Sasuke enter the men's room they look sideways making sure that there wasn't anyone in the room.

 

“You ready?” Sasuke said

 

“I'm always ready”

 

The both made the same hand seal

 

TRANSFORM

 

A cloud of smoke appeared and when it vanish Naruto and Sasuke's appearance were replace by two men wearing shades and suits they turn into one of Donovan'a agents from the tournament. They left the restroom and left the dance room, they walk a few steps in the large mansion before seeing two different paths.

 

“Well looks like we'll have to split up” the transform Sasuke said

 

“Obviously I'll see you later Sasuke” Naruto said as he took the left path of the mansion

 

Sasuke nodded and took the opposite path that his teammate took he walk normally without haste since he was in disguise as one of Donovan's men, as he walks trough the halls of the mansion he look at the highly decorations every painting sculpture and furniture look extremely valuable he even thought that Donovan had more money than all of the five Kages considering that Tsunade still has lots of paying debts to make she was not rich even if she was the Hokage. He then reach a long set of stairs and without thinking he climb them, as he was climbing he got the feeling that he was being watch and he was right someone was following him.

 

He thought that whoever the person that it was following him was very skillful because he barely sent him this person was doing everything in his grasp to hide his presence in order to not be detected by him. Sasuke remain calm he continue climbing the stairs while keeping his guard up expecting his follower to attack him, after he climb the stairs he took the only door on the top floor when he open it he was in a top roof like a castle. The roof itself was as large as the mansion he took a few steps as he look at the designs of the edges they were carved in gold, without letting his guard down from his spy he stare at the highly decorated edges.

 

“That's a good disguise but I can tell who you really are”

 

Sasuke remain calm there was no need to keep his transformation jutsu any longer his spy have figure out already, he drop his jutsu and reach for Kusanagi without sheeting it he wanted to make sure who his follower was.

 

“So you finally decided to talk I was beginning to think when you were gonna act so how about you show you're face I won't bite” he grin a little

 

“So you knew I was following you that's quite impressive”

 

Suddenly a figure landed in front of him, Sasuke took a close look at his stalker she seems to be around seventeen he saw her purple hair with a dark blue headband around her head, he wasn't surprised by her hair color since Sakura had pink hair so seeing a girl with purple hair was nothing out of the ordinary for him. She was wearing a purple ninja uniform with black boots with long black fingerless gloves and she had pink eyes, for a moment Sasuke was in awe he couldn't help but feel attractive to her she was a rare beauty in his eyes. He snapped from his rare dreaming and gaze in the kunoichi who has been stalking him his hand still holding Kusanagi.

 

“You are a ninja it doesn't surprise me with the way you were hiding you're presence it was kind of hard for me to sense you and the fact that you saw trough my transformation jutsu you are skill”

 

“Same to you, you knew I was following you right away that takes lots of concentration and skill no doubt about it I don't need to see you're headband you are definitely a ninja from Konoha”

 

Sasuke smirk in amusement” and you must be a ninja from the Mugen Tenshin clan I saw you watching us in the preliminaries back at the ship”

 

Ayane look amazed but she kept a serious expression” I'm not exactly from the Mugen Tenshin clan but I am dedicated to aid them”

 

“Then you're from the Hajimon clan?”

 

Now the kunoichi couldn't help but grin” my you get around quickly”

 

“Yes I know quite a lot about the Mugen Tenshin clan and the Hayabusa clan and tell me you are here to destroy DOATEC and Donovan am I right?”

 

The purple hair kunoichi was eyeing him carefully she took an attack stance and reach for her pocket picking a few kunais” you know too much already will you tell me why have you come here are you here to participate in the tournament?”

 

“Yes me and my friends have come to compete in the tournament” Sasuke said coolly

 

“I want to know your true purpose for being here and I want to know it NOW”

 

“I will tell you but first answer me this, is Hayate competing in the tournament too?”

 

Hearing Hayate's name she immediately threw her kunais at him, Sasuke drew Kusanagi and block them with ease she charge at him and threw her leg grabbing his neck and sending the Uchiha into the ground his body then turn into a bunch of snakes which shock her she was too slow to see Sasuke standing behind her pointing Kusanagi at her neck. She slowly turn her gaze to him she look straight into his black eyes she had to admit that he was handsome she has never gaze at such a handsome face from a ninja she has considered Hayate and Hayabusa to be handsome but this ninja was more handsome, she immediately dispelled those thoughts from her head as she continue to be at the mercy of the Uchiha.

 

“Don't try anything stupid I didn't came here to fight you or Hayate” Sasuke said in a calm tone” however if I end up facing you guys in the tournament I will fight you”

 

“Why are you here I don't think you're here to destroy DOATEC?”

 

“No I believe that's Hayate's purpose isn't it?”

 

The kunoichi nodded” yes and I will help him do it and if you get in our way I will kill you”

 

“Fair enough” Sasuke said as he let her go

 

The kunoichi was surprised at first but she remain calm” you could have killed me if you wanted to why did you let me go?”

 

“I told you I'm not here to fight you as an enemy it's the other way around”

 

“What do you mean?”

 

“I might tell you but not now you will eventually find out”

 

The kunoichi stood quiet before walking out from the Uchiha she turn to look back at him” if you're not going to tell me then at least tell me you're name?”

 

“It's Sasuke how about telling me yours?”

 

She gaze into his black eyes” its Ayane” she turn her back and vanish

 

(Ayane huh that's one out now if I meet the other two although I have a good feeling who they are) Sasuke thought as he left the roof and headed back to the stairs

 

Ayane was hiding in one of the corners of the roof she saw the Uchiha leaving( he's strong he's someone I wouldn't want to face in the tournament) she then vanish

 

 

In another part of the mansion Naruto was in another passage of the large mansion he was getting irritated that he hasn't found anything yet.

 

(This mansion is so big it might take us forever to find Donovan)

 

He sighed as he took another turn in the passage he finally enter a large garden with a beautiful fountain that's when he found Kasumi sitting in the border of the fountain she had a sad expression on her face. Naruto wanted to talk to her so he drop his transformation jutsu returning to his original form he slowly approach the young kunoichi, he was caught off guard as Kasumi reacted and reach for her short katana on her back she turn to see the stranger that was approaching her.

 

Once she saw that it was Naruto she sighed and sheathed her katana back in her hostler” Narutosan I'm sorry I thought you were an attacker”

 

“Its okay Kasumichan I didn't mean to startle you why are you here?”

 

“I wanted to get some fresh air the sun is very beautiful don't you think?”

 

“Yeah I guess, Kasumichan do you mind if I sit next to you?”

 

“No of course not go ahead”

 

“Thanks”

 

Naruto seated next to her but for some reason Kasumi was acting a little shy and embarrassed after that they stood quiet for a little until Naruto broke the short silence.

 

“Kasumichan I know the truth about you” Naruto said in a serious tone

 

Kasumi gasp she look afraid but she try to remain calm she was about to get up and leave until Naruto caught her hand stopping her in her tracks, for a moment she gaze into his ocean eyes she try not to blush but somehow she could feel her cheeks turning red.

 

“Narutosan I…..Im sorry for lying to you”

 

“Its al right you had every right to do it I mean you don't even know me so I understand why you did it?”

 

Kasumi shook her head” no you don't understand Narutosan I have to my life is very dangerous I always have to run for my life and fight to survive its been like this for a while now”

 

“Kasumichan I know you are a ninja the life of a ninja it's always dangerous you always risk your life and you may die on any mission you take”

 

The kunoichi shook her head again” no I am no longer a ninja”

 

“What do you mean you are a ninja from the Mugen Tenshin clan right?”

 

Kasumi looked away from the blond ninja making him worry he touch her shoulder and gently force her to meet his eyes she saw the seriousness and concern reflected in them.

 

“What happened Kasumichan?” Naruto said worry

 

Kasumi looked sad but somehow deep in her heart she felt like she could trust Naruto there was something about him even if he was a ninja he was more kind and gentle that any regular ninja it reminded her of her brother.

 

She gave him a sad smile before speaking” okay Narutosan I will tell you, you know I'm from the Mugen Tenshin clan my family and I we are the descendants of the founders of the clan making us the leaders of the clan we were like any other ninja clan always loyal and dedicated to our jobs and missions”

 

Naruto nodded as he continue to listen to her story

 

Kasumi looked to the sunny sky” then one day the council of the clan made a decision to make me the heir of the clan I was unsure of this decision and in truth I wanted my older brother Hayate to be the heir and not me”

 

Naruto gasp” what Hayate the leader of the clan its your brother?”

 

Kasumi nodded” yes I know I was skill and confident in my strength but I didn't wanted to be the leader of the clan, then on a rainy night he came Ragu a ninja from our clan betray us and wanted to steal a secret scroll containing a powerful technique pass from generation to generation to the heir of the clan Hayate and Ayane my stepsister confronted him but he was too strong a lot of our ninjas were killed by him then my brother fought him and in the end he lost to Ragu luckily he didn't got his hands on the scroll but my brother ended up very injured”

 

Naruto stood quiet as he continue to listen to every word the kunoichi was telling him

 

“My brother was going to be al right but I…..I couldn't stand and do nothing I decided to take matters in my own hands I was going to go after Ragu and avenge my clan for his treachery however the council warn me not to go after him as the heir of the clan it was my duty to stay in the village attend the clan's duties but I….I didn't listen I left my village and from that moment I became a traitor to the clan and runaway shinobi”

 

“You mean a missing nin?” Naruto said shock

 

Kasumi nodded as small tears were formed around her brown eyes” yes I found out that Ragu enter the Dead or Alive tournament in order to test his strength I enter the tournament and I was able to defeat him I won the battle but I lost the war since I was consider a traitor in the clan I couldn't return to my village, then a couple of months later I found out that Hayate was attack and capture by DOATEC he was used in one of their experiments and he lost his memory I was so worry for him thank goodness that he got his memory back in the second tournament I was also relief that the council didn't punish him they didn't consider his justification for losing his memory as an act of treason so he was chosen to be the new leader of the clan and he was given the task to send ninja assassins after me for betraying them”

 

Naruto clench his fist in anger” he…..he wants….to kill you?”

 

“Please Narutosan my brother is good and kind he really doesn't want to kill me he just doesn't have a choice”

 

“Of course he has a choice he can choose not to kill you why would he do that to you his own sister?” Naruto said upset

 

“He can't disobey the order of the council if he does he will be consider a traitor too and I don't want that he knows he has to obey he knows me too well that's why he's obeying the rules but I know what deep inside of him he doesn't want to kill me”

 

Naruto looked back at her” so this is your life Kasumichan?”

 

Kasumi nodded a the tears fell from her eyes” yes Narutosan this is the life of a runaway shinobi to run and fight for the rest of your life I will continue to run to survive but I….I am so tired of running over and over again I don't think I can go on anymore I….I” Kasumi began to sob silently she cover her face

 

Kasumi continue to sob until she felt a pair of arms embracing her she felt safe and happy she looked up to see Naruto holding her with sad smile on his face.

 

“I'm sorry Kasumichan you have suffer a lot its okay”

 

“But it's my fault for running away from the village so I deserve it”

 

“No Kasumichan it wasn't your fault you wanted to restore your clan's honor and Hayate's too so don't you ever think that it was your fault” Naruto said as he release the embrace

 

Kasumi smile” thank you Narutosan I am feeling better now”

 

Naruto smile” Kasumichan don't worry because” he then gave her a thumbs up with a big smile” I will save you from your fate as a runaway shinobi that's a promise believe it and I never back down from my word because that's my ninja way”

 

Kasumi was shock she couldn't believe that he was willing to do that just for her even if it was impossible to achieve but somehow she believe him his words were so full of courage and determination.

 

She smile as she try not to cry again” thank you Narutosan thank you very much I don't care if you don't fulfilled it”

 

“Now wait a minute I meant it I will save you from being a missing ninja just you wait I don't know how I will do it but I will do it”

 

Kasumi smiled again” thank you Narutosan I will never forget your kindness”

 

“Of course Kasumichan you are my friend I will do anything for my friends” Naruto said while giving his fox grin

 

Kasumi blink confuse” friends since when we are friends?”

 

Naruto sweat dropped while falling down anime style” we are friends since we talk to each other”

 

Kasumi laugh” I was just kidding Narutosan of course we are friends thank you”

 

“Naruto”

 

Naruto looked behind him and saw Sasuke in the distance” I'm over here Sasuke” he wave his hand to his teammate

 

“There you are Naruto find anything?” Sasuke said

 

“No I didn't this mansion is pretty big its going to be hard to search for clues in this place”

 

“My thoughts exactly I think we should give a rest to the investigation we will have plenty of chances during the tournament so let's get back to the party we don't want to make Sakura upset for coming late”

 

“Yeah oh Sasuke wait let me introduce you to Kasumichan from the Mugen Tenshin clan she's right here” Naruto said ponting behind him

 

Sasuke raise an eyebrow” where is she?”

 

Naruto looked back and saw that the kunoichi was gone the only thing visible was a couple of cherry blossoms swirling in the air.

 

“She's gone”

 

“Anyway lets get back we will surely see her at the tournament or even at the announcement tonight” Sasuke said

 

Naruto nodded and the two ninjas left the garden a far away from the garden and the mansion stood Kasumi smiling at the leaving figure of Naruto.

 

(Thank you Narutosan I have found another important person in my life) Kasumi thought as she vanish in a swirl of cherry blossoms

 

 

Near the entrance to the mansion Christie was going to leave she didn't like dance parties unless she had a job to kill someone in that kind of a place. She was always dedicated to her job a client gives her a target she kills and she gets pay just like that, she never had a problem with a target until now. She had failed to kill one person in the past it was none other than Helena Douglas she has failed in the past two tournaments and she wasn't any happy about it not to mention that Donovan the person who hired her to kill her was very upset with her failures. He has given her a final chance to kill her and a chance to get her handsome reward, she has vow that this tournament she will kill the formal opera singer once and for all and this time failure is not an option.

 

Once she reach the entrance she was met by a familiar figure she knew this man in the past it was Bayman the formal assassin now the avenger to kill Donovan he was glaring at her but she didn't care at all. She decided to ignore him and walk out of the mansion before Bayman got close enough to make her face him with a similar glare.

 

“What the hell do you want?” Christie said in a dark tone

 

Bayman kept his glare on her” don't get in my way again I know you're his new client but be warn I will killed him and if you get in my way you will share his fate too”

 

Christie snorted” whatever you can do what you like I don't care, you can kill Donovan I won't stop you but only after he has pay me”

 

Bayman stood quiet he turn the other way” money is the only thing that you cared it's nothing more than ambition”

 

“I didn't ask for your opinion now get lost” she left the mansion and went to her black jaguar and speed off into the sundown

 

Bayman just snorted before going into the mansion

 

 

Hours later in the Dead or Alive dome the all of the competitors were present including the ones that didn't show up at the party. One of them was a man in his early thirties with hair and black eyes he was wearing a white long shirt with black pants and shoes(Brad Wongs first costume from DOA 4) he had on the back of his pants a small gourd it look like it might have water in it but with the way he was moving back in forth like he was drunk it wasn't water but rather sake. There was another besides Bayman that was wearing army fatigue's(Leon's first costume from DOA 4). Finally there two men wearing ninja clothing one had short brown and brown eyes(Hayate's wearing the first costume from DOA4) the second had his face covered with a mask wearing black leather uniform(Hayabusa's wearing the first costume from DOA 4 the ninja gaiden costume).

 

They were all standing in the middle of the dome which was in a circular ring with the words written in the middle of the ring DOA 5, the whole dome was crowded with thousands of people during the years the Dead or Alive tournament have become a famous spectacular event and the people were begging for the tournament to return once again, most of the people come to the tournament for betting on the fighters or for meeting their favorite fighters so they can cheer for them. Naruto felt like he was a famous celebrity looking at all the people gather he was surprise to see a lot of people with sings that said “Go Tina” or “Tina rules” they were even some that read” Will you marry me Tina?”. He blinks in surprise it seems that the blond bombshell was very famous he chuckle a little and continue to stare at the big crowd.

 

(Soon they will be cheering for me) Naruto thought

 

As the fighters were standing in the ring the tension was growing between competitors Ayane was glaring at Kasumi and she was trying to ignore her she didn't wanted to face her again at least not yet while Christie was doing the same thing to Helena and the opera singer was just pretending that she wasn't there. Sasuke was gave a long glance at the two male ninjas he knew who they were, they were the strong competition in the tournament along with Jan Lee he grin in amusement this tournament was definitely interesting in the eyes of the Uchiha. As the crowd continue to cheer another man wearing a suit came to the ring with a microphone he went in front of the fighters and face the roaring crowd.

 

“Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the fifth Dead or Alive tournament”

 

The crowd cheers louder

 

“This year we have a few newcomers to prove they can be the best fighters in the tournament and we also have our veterans of the tournament they have already prove they are the strongest in their generation, now before we begin to the selection for the first round we will announce the rules for this years tournament first you can use submissions to your opponent making him/her give up the fight second, fighters who posses weapons are NOT allowed to use them on their opponent those who uses weapons will be disqualified from the tournament immediately third fighters will fight their opponent according to the schedule set up by our computer meaning that the fighters will fight according to the time and place they were assign by the computer if the fighters fight out of their schedule they will both be disqualified and finally, if it comes down to it depending on the fight you may result to kill your opponent”

 

That last rule made quite a shocking expression on the fighters and the crowd Christie grin she is planning to kill Helena so she doesn't care of the rule the same with Ayane who just smirk in satisfaction she was going to enjoy killing the traitor kunoichi. Others like Hitomi, Lei Fang, Eliot, Kokoro, Helena, Lisa, Tina, Bass, Zack, Tenchi and Felipe were shock at the rule since they have never taken a life before. Hayate, Hayabusa, Kasumi, Ayane, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura weren't shock at all they were ninjas and they have already kill people many times in the past so it was a normal thing in the life of a ninja. Jann Lee although he look calm and serious he has always fought for defending himself and others who couldn't defend themselves but he has never killed someone before. The ninjas from the Mugen Tenshin clan knew that this tournament was going to be different from the previous ones and this new rule proves it.

 

“Now that we have announce the rules we will begin with selection for the first round of the quarterfinals we have gather all of the fighters names into our main computer it will select the names randomly so none of you will know who you will fight until the results comes, the names will be appearing at the large screen in front of the dome now pay attention its time to see who will fight in the first round”

 

All of the fighters look to the screen and the large screen started flashing names in a very fast matter(yes I got this from Naruto the Chunin exams arc) suddenly the screen stop flashing and the names were shown.

 

“Here it is the first round of the quarterfinals”

 

The fighters were surprised at the results they were read as follow:

 

Naruto vs. Zack

 

Eliot vs. Kokoro

 

Sasuke vs. Brad Wong

 

Felipe vs. Lei Fang

 

Jann Lee vs. Tenchi

 

Chrisite vs. Leon

 

Sakura vs. La Mariposa

 

Kasumi vs. Hitomi

 

Hayate vs. Bass

 

Hayabusa vs. Bayman

 

Helena vs. Ayane

 

(La Mariposa who's that?) Sakura thought she didn't know that Lisa was gazing at her with a smirk on her face

 

(Oh no I'm fighting Kokoro that can't be I…I don't know if I will be able to fight her)

 

(Great I'm fighting that ninja he's a real pain in the ass) Bass thought

 

(I'm fighting that ninja like I care I only came here to kill Donovan)

 

“Well there you have it folks the first round of the quarterfinals”

 

“HEY WAIT A MINUTE WHAT ABOUT ME”

 

Everybody looked at Tina who was upset” what about me I'm in this tournament too or have you forgotten about me?”

 

“Well of course we haven't forgotten about you Miss Armstrong since there is no opponent for you in the first round because as a result from our computer you automatically advance to the next round”

 

“WHAT” Tina shouted

 

The fighters sweat dropped at the fact that Tina didn't have to fight anyone in order to advance.

 

“You are giving me too much credit I should be fighting someone I feel like I'm chop liver”

 

“We are terribly sorry Miss Armstrong but don't worry we assure you that you will fight in the next round”

 

Tina sighed” fine I won't be a sour puss”

 

“Tina you're too perfect to fight in the first round you deserve it” Bass said

 

Tina ignored her fathers comment and just focus on the crowd cheering her name.

 

“Now folks let's hear it for the competitors of the tournament and now we will announce the first match of the first round it will be Naruto vs. Zack”

 

“Al right I get to fight first” Naruto cheered

 

“The first match will be held tomorrow at noon at Tokyo park so gentlemen prepare yourselves”

 

“Yeah I am ready” Naruto said

 

“I'm ready to get down” Zack said

 

The crowd continues to cheer the fighters have been gather the matches have been set the first match have been announced and tomorrow DOA5 will begin.

 

In a dark room a mysterious stranger was watching the announcement by a camera he was only focusing on the fighters.

 

“Everything is going according to plan this tournament will bring me the power I desire”
