Hey Guys , here's the latest chapter of Child Of The Prophecy . Sorry for the wait :)

In the forest near the Iron Gravel Village , team 7 had just battled several waves of enemy shinobi . A recent battle had just occurred where Naruto and Sasuke fought Kazuya , Nagara and Shiji , 3 powerful shinobi who could use explosion release with their "Ninja Art" Jutsu . In the midst of the battle Sasuke and Naruto were met with a life-threatening attack but amazingly rescued by an unknown power that Naruto had unleashed , granting him enough power to defeat his foes .

…

Naruto stood over the lifeless bodies of Shiji and Nagara , with a crimson aura of chakra flowing around him . His clothes were slightly torn and worn out and any damage that his body suffered such as scratches, marks and wounds had all been healed up , thanks to the Kyuubi's chakra .

"Naruto , are you okay ?" Asked Kakashi in a shocked and surprised tone . Naruto didn't respond , all he did was stare at the two bodies before looking up at the sky .

Sasuke began to regain consciousness and opened his eyes , trying to gain his composure . "Damn … What happened ?" He asked softly before being answered with silence . " Hey , what's going –" He stopped in the middle of his sentence as he looked up at Naruto who was covered in a crimson aura .

"What the - ?" He asked . "What happened to Naruto ?" , looking at his sensei .

"I – I don't know ." Kakashi responded .

Naruto quickly looked down again before turning around and facing his comrades .

"Ah !... Naruto's eye's are – " He paused , trying to understand what was happening . " Okay enough of this bull , I demand to know what happened while I was knocked out and who defeated those men ! It couldn't have been Naruto ! There's no way he could –" But before he could continue , Naruto appeared almost instantaneously in front of Sasuke .

'Ah !... That speed ! How'd he get to me so fast , I didn't see him move ! What's with the red chakra around him ? And those purple eyes , what the hell is going on !?' He asked himself .

Naruto glared at Sasuke for a while , afterwards his chakra aura faded away and his eyes reverted to their sky blue color , back to normal . "Kakashi sensei " He said in a weak manner ," I want to –" He couldn't finish his sentence because the strain on what had happened had taken it's toll on him as he immediately fainted .

"Naruto !" Sakura shouted as she caught him and slowly put him down .

"What now sensei ?" Sakura asked Kakashi , who didn't respond but rather kept a very concerned look on his face .

Kakashi kept quite for a while , in the meantime Sasuke stood up with great difficulty having exhausted his chakra reserves . He then began walking a few meters away from his team and sat on a nearby rock .

He looked at Naruto with jealousy on his face and even envied him, and thus hatred began surging in his heart . This was the 2nd time he was upstaged by Naruto , who defeated opponents that not even he could take down .

'Damn him ! Every single time ! Where the hell does he get this kind of power !?' Sasuke asked himself angrily . He felt weak , pitiful, useless and most of all he felt like trash that needed to be thrown out .If he couldn't defeat such opponents then how could he possibly hope to take down Itachi .

He cursed himself for being weak , unable to do anything . Then Kakashi stood up and looked at Naruto . " This wasn't an easy decision ." He said . " What do you mean sensei ?" Sakura asked him with Naruto on her lap resting peacefully after having fainted . " We'll have to resume the mission ." He said . " What !?" Sakura asked , " But sensei Naruto is –" She was cut short by Kakashi ." I know Sakura , but the Leaf Village is 5 hours away while the Iron Gravel village is 30 minutes away . Perhaps they can assist us . "

"Can we just get going ." Sasuke said in a cold and impatient manner . 'Why's he so impatient ?' Sakura asked herself .

'Hn . So he's definitely jealous of Naruto's power , but I understand his reasons . What puzzles me most are those purple eyes of his . Where'd they come from ? ' kakashi asked himself .

' I wonder if now is the right time to tell him about Naruto's eyes …' Sakura thought to herself .

"Let's get going . We'll collect our luggage from the bush we hid them ." Kakashi ordered calmly , eventualy Sasuke and Sakura carried Naruto to the point where they hid their luggage when Kakashi first alerted them about enemy presence .

They collected their luggage , while Kakashi decided to carry Naruto , Sakura and Sasuke would carry his luggage . The journey to the village was long but they managed to reach the entrance.

The 25m long gate was made of a shiny metal with metallic bars placed between it , it was a gate that had a rail , so it could be pushed backwards and forwards . The village walls were 10m high but had metallic spikes that were 10 inches high . Although it seemed stupid to outsiders , the spikes were infused with chakra that would extend as chakra spikes and impale any enemy shinobi that tried to jump the wall . The success rate of the villages defenses was 98% , meaning their defenses were spot on .

"Well look who it is ." A voice came from behind team 7 while they were standing at the gate .

They turned around to see 5" long man with darkish peach skin . His eye brows were black but his hair was blonde . He was wearing a black sleeveless vest and a chain around his neck . He wore black gloves with small spikes on the knuckles of the gloves . He was wearing grey shinobi pants with bandages at the bottom and shinobi shoes .

" No way ! You're alive !?" Kakashi's eye widened with great shock .
