By The Un-Wanted Angel & Beta'd By: EagleTsubasa

Welcome everyone: EagleTsubasa to the wonderful story.
Treat my beta nicely :) Don't forget to thank her in your reviews too!

I am back, I am back, yes, I am back! It's wonderful to see I've been getting reviews in my absence. I'm so sorry to have put you through this, but I'm recovering from writer's block, not to mention I graduated high school and will be moving on to collage in three months. And I got a job to worry about, plus on top of everything, my lap-top crashed and I had to get a new one. Yes, yes, excuses, what "Coming-back-author" doesn't have any? Well, I've always thought about you guys and I've tried to write everyday if I could. But I gotta' thank Eagle Tsubasa for helping me. There is a little treat for you guys at the end of this chapter, I think I'll start doing that from now on, just for humor's sake.

You all have been so loyal and helpful. I want to thank you all. I hope to have another chapter up soon.

Also, I would like to post A WARNING: There is rude language, talk and actions of violence and blood. So, if you can't handle any of that, then I would suggest you read as much and if you can't handle then that's okay. There is still a present waiting for you at the end for trying :)

ENJOY! :D

CHAPTER 23

"Alright, wait for the signal" A snicker came from the blonde, molding his clay. Standing next to him was a raven-haired man, eyeing Sasuke Uchiha. Knowing at any moment, things might get awkward for the two. He cracked his knuckles, narrowing his red eyes.

Sasuke gasped, turning around to look on the rims of the stadium, but he saw nothing.

"Yo, Sasuke. You okay?" Naruto asked him. Sasuke nodded.

"Yeah, I'm fine, Naruto." Sasuke's eyes narrowed, he could smell the familiar scent of peach blossoms. He growled, biting his lip.

From the shadows, Itachi Uchiha leaned against a wall watching Sasuke. He sighed, snapping his fingers. In a moment's second there was an explosion; dust and debris went flying every where.

Minato stood up, alarmed.

"Sir, what's going on?" Kakashi asked.

Minato narrowed his eyes. Naruto and everyone were trying to flea the area when one by one members of the Atkatsuki landed on the ground, startling ANBU members. Naruto gasped seeing he recognized one member.

"Itachi?" He asked.

Sasuke snarled, charging towards the older brother, only to be annihilated ten feet from Itachi.

"Well, isn't this a fun day? Wait a minute." Kisame, a fish-like human thought for a moment. "Don't tell me it's a Genin games?"

"That's not what it's called, idiot!" A scream came.

In a yellow 'flash' Minato Namikaze stood in front of the Atkatsuki.

"Ah, it's the ever might Hokage himself." Dedaria chirped. "It's an honor, blondie."

"Oh, look in the mirror. What are you all doing here?" Minato growled, his eyes trying to look for his son, but he hadn't spotted him. The Akatsuki became a criminal organisation comprising S-rank missing-nin and is the most wanted group in all of the shinobi world. Minato had to hand it to them, it took guts to pull a stunt like this.

Dedaria shrugged. "I dunno," Then he sniffed the air. "We're on a hunt, fox-hunting."

Minato's eyes widened

"Well, do you know where we can find the jailer for the nine-tails, hmm?" Dedaria circled around the Hokage. Minato rolled his eyes.

"He's long dead, the sealing didn't work."

Dedaria let out a loud laugh, "That's too funny. We've been searching a long time for any tailed beasts, you know? It's funny, one day we're told by Itachi himself-"

Minato turned to glare at Itachi, who sorrily gazed on watching his younger brother struggle to stand up after the blow.

"And now here you stand telling us he's not alive?" Dedaria challenged.

"Dedaria!"

The blonde turned swiftly around, seeing Pain.

"Enough."

Dedaria scoffed, shrugging. "Well, we would have been on our way if you'd just hand the keeper over. But it looks like we're going at this the hard way."

Minato's eyes narrowed. "I've told you, the nine-tails jailor is dead along with the Kyuubi. I'm willing to let you all leave quietly."

"You know, this is pretty interesting." The blonde looked over at Naruto, his cloudy-grey eyes shining bright in the sunlight.

"Never met a blind Genin.

Dedaria smirked, molding clay behind his back and Naruto gasped, racing towards his father.

Hinata gasped "Naruto!"

Minato turned swiftly, appalled. There came Naruto running closer to the two.

"Don't hurt him!" He screamed, fangs showing and his whiskers darkening. Dedaria smirked, he loved a challenge. Without thinking many ANBU members started in the battle, Genins too joined in, but their moves were no match for members of the Atakatski's who might have used shadow-clones. Sasuke however stood up and began charging for Itachi, using the Chidori, missing every shot.

"Sasuke-"

"YOU KILLED THEM!" Sasuke screamed. "YOU KILLED THEM ALL!"

"Sasuke, please, listen to me!"

"NO!"

While The Uchiha's had their quarrel, Minato tried shielding Naruto as much as he could.

"Tou-san! Let me go!" Naruto demanded.

"And have you killed?! Not likely. I thought you ran out of chakra!" Minato asked, still covering his son while his clones fought off any enemies.

Not receiving an answer, Minato's eyes winded.

"Are you forcing Chakra?! Naruto, baby, that's dangerous-"

"Stop calling me baby! I'm twelve, almost thirteen, that's almost an adult!" Naruto screamed. Minato couldn't believe the two of them were having a family fight during a time like this.

"Just stay put-"

"NO!" Naruto screamed. "I don't need your help!"

With that, he ran off from his father.

"NARUTO!"

Naruto felt crushed, he managed to kick a few puppets from Sasori's collection out of the way. He couldn't believe that his father wouldn't trust him during a fight. He wondered if any of the battles were rigged because of his father being Hokage.

Flipping in a three-circle style in the air, he landed on Fish-face, earning a curse.

Kakashi was near by and caught sight of Itachi, the only one who didn't use shadow clones, fighting with Sasuke.

"Why?! Why, Itachi?!" Sasuke screamed. "Why did you kill our family?!"

Itachi sighed, taking two fingers and harshly poking Sasuke in the forehead, sending him flying.

"I was ordered to!"

With that Sasuke felt imprisoned on the dirt as his older brother stood above him.

Itachi wasn't an emotional man, but he had a lingering sadness on his face. "Because. . . I was ordered to."

Sasuke growled. "You killed your own family BECAUSE YOU WERE ORDERED TO?!"

Itachi's knuckled cracked. "Kill me if you want, knowing how much you hate me, I'd rather be dead." He knelt in front of Sasuke, giving him full access. Sasuke waited forever for a moment like this. He reached in his pocket, fetching a kunai, ready to stab it right in Itachi's head when a rumbling ceased all fighting.

Shaddow clones vanished and weapons were lowered.

"What the hell is that?" Someone asked.

"What's going on?"

Naruto stopped fighting.

Minato looked up.

"Tobi?!" Dedaria asked. The Akatsuki all gazed up, as a matter of fact Tobi was standing on a rather large sphere. Slowly reaching p, he took of his orange mask.

Kakashi, Minato and Itachi's eyes all widened.

"It can't be." Itachi muttered.

"What? Who is that?" Sasuke asked.

Naruto stopped fighting when he noticed a large blue sphere in on the ground, someone was standing on top.

"Tobi, get the fuck down! No one cares about your little-"

Daderia stopped talking when a dagger came out of the sphere, striking hi min the lower abdoman.

"Ah! You bastard!"

Lowering his face up, most could see it wasn't Tobi, but rather Obito Uchiha.

Kakashi stood, star-struck at what he saw.

"O-Obito?" He asked.

Obito growled. "You let her die, asshole!"

Naruto went running to his sensei, his eyes were killing him because of the forced Chakra.

"You let her die, now you're going to pay-"

"No!" Naruto screamed. "Don't hurt my sensei!"

"Naruto!" Minato screamed.

"Get out of my, brat!" Obito raised his arm, a dagger coming forward to Naruto, as the blonde held out his arm (his childish mind, thinking it would save his teacher) He closed his eyes tightly, awaiting the pain. When it never came, he slowly opened his eyes, ans gasped.

There stood his father in front of him. The dagger went right trough him.

Silence dawned across the field as Minato when to turn around, he fell in the process in a pool of blood.

"PAPA!" Naruto shrieked.

OMAKE THEATER!

"You pervert" Minato narrowed his eyes looking at Jiraya's long, disgusting list of sexual toys and condoms. But the pervert just smiled.

"It's notes, for my next book." The ex-teacher stuttered. Minato didn't care.

"Just make sure my baby doesn't EVER see that list." Jiraya nodded, looking around. "Can I put this someplace? I have no room on my lap."

"Just. . . put it on my desk, I can make sure no one sees it." Minato sighed. Jiraya did just that then went back to writing, happily. Naruto came in, Minato smiled at his bubbly precious-pride and joy.

"Naruto, I have a list of groceries we need, can you please pick them up?"

Naruto nodded, looking at the large stack of papers next to the single paper, he grabbed the single paper and waved goodbye. Minato smiled sweetly, going back to his writing.

Before long, Jiraya stretched, yawning.

"I'm gonna' head home, Minato."

Minato smiled and went to say goodbye when Jariya gave him a puzzled look.

"Tomatos. . . Onions. . . Carrots? Where's my list?"

Minato's eyes widened.

"NARUTO!"

MEANWHILE...

"Uh? Excuse me, miss?" Naruto flagged down a employee at the store. "Can you help me find these for me and my Tou-san's supper?" He smiled, holding up Jiraya's list of naughty delights.

I'm so sorry to have put you through this, but I'm recovering from writer's block, not to mention I graduated high school and will be moving on to collage in three months. And I got a job to worry about, plus on top of everything, my lap-top crashed and I had to get a new one. Yes, yes, excuses, what "Coming-back-author" doesn't have any? Well, I've always thought about you guys and I've tried to write everyday if I could. But I gotta' thank Eagle Tsubasa for helping me.
