The long awaited Third Book in the "No" Series is here! Sadly I won't be able to post a chapter as often as I did for the other two books. But I will post as soon as I can. Again, Sorry for the long wait and the short chapter. I hope you like it.

I do not own Naruto or its characters! And I don't make any money off of this!

Chapter 1:

"Obaa-chan!" Naruto yelled as he slammed the door open. He blinked as he saw the stressed out expression on Tsunade's face. "Obaa-chan?" he paused then walked over to Tsunade. "Hokage-sama?"

Tsunade looked up. "Oh, Naruto... I didn't see you there."

"Is everything alright?" Naruto asked.

Tsunade sighed. "No." Her eyes found Naruto's. "There is something I have to tell you and your team. Summon them for me."

"Ok," Naruto said. He closed his eyes and entered his mind. Through the hallway he went until he reached the door he needed. He entered the room and paused before another door. 'He better not be busy with Itachi.' Naruto opened it. "Kurama."

"Yes Kit?"

"I need you to bring Itachi and Sasuke to Hokage Tower," Naruto said. "Tsunade needs us."

"It must be bad if you called her Tsunade instead of old hag."

"She called me Naruto and didn't even yell at me when I called her Obaa-chan."

"That is bad. Ok, I'll get the Uchihas."

"Thanks." Kurama disappeared. Naruto closed his eyes again and open then to see that Shizune, Sakura, Kakashi, and Ibiki had entered the room. Naruto gave them his greetings before he stood to wait for his team. The rest of Team Kitsune walked into the room, a look of concern on each of their faces, though they each tried to hide it. Everyone turned their attention towards Tsunade.

"Kabuto has escaped," Tsunade said bluntly.

"What?" all of Team Kitsune exclaimed. Sasuke and Itachi looked at each other since that wasn't an Uchiha thing to do. They put their masks back up as their lovers flipped.

"What the hell happened?" Kurama yelled. "Weren't you supposed to watch him?" He glared at Ibiki.

"Yeah!" Naruto agreed. "How could you let that bastard escape?"

"It seems he was able to use Sage Jutsu," Tsunade said. "He waited until no one was near him before he took in enough nature Chakra to break out. He killed two Anbu, three Jonin, and a Chunin on his way out. We held the funeral for them a week ago."

"Why didn't you send us a notice or something?" Naruto asked. "I could have teleported here then went after him using my speed. You know that I'm the fastest ninja you have!"

"We didn't know until he was gone for more than five hours," Tsunade said. "That was the next switch of guards."

"So he broke out while they were switching guards?" Sasuke asked.

"Yes," Tsunade said. "The Chunin was delivering food to them." She slammed her hand on her desk, nearly cracking it in two. "The kid had just become a chunin."

"Do you have any leads where Kabuto might go?" Itachi asked.

"All we know is that he still wants Naruto," Tsunade said. "I fear he may start a group like Akatsuki."

Naruto grinned. "Even if he does, he has Team Kitsune against him."

"I know," Tsunade said. "You are the… Gaki?" Naruto had fallen to his knees, clenching his stomach.

"Kurama!" Itachi called. Kurama was also hunched over.

"I-it's time, Kit," Kurama said.

"Time?" Tsunade asked. "Time for what?"

Both Naruto and Kurama looked up at Tsunade. "The merger." The two finally lost consciousness.

If you noticed, this picks up where both the first and second book end. You do not have to read the second book in order to read this one.
