CHAPTER 7

The Hyuuga clan was an incredibly old clan; being able to be traced directly down to the Sage of six paths brother, Homura Otsutsuki, the first notable bearer of the byakugan. It was believed that there was an almighty being that birthed the first notable bearers of chakra and that she got too powerful for her own good, forcing her own sons to take her down and seal her up into a vessel no one was sure of. The fact remained that Homura was the lesser known and less appreciated person who aided in this mythical feat, but the Hyuuga recognized him as their progenitor and from the 'silent brother' generations of skills and techniques patented to the Hyuuga clan were formed and passed down, refined but never deviating from the original technique. This was to preserve purity in the clan, not only of blood but of knowledge; every child born with the Hyuuga blood and the byakugan was taught that ancient traditions were the reason they had survived for so long and thrived so well. It was best to merely abide by what was set down in stone than go out and develop something on shaky ground.

There had been Hyuuga that had tried to revolt against this system, saying that it was too tight fisted with no margin of space for mistakes but they had been subdued effectively. Though there were only a small hand full of Hyuuga that broke away from norm and carved out a different path for themselves.

The first notable was Mari Hyuuga. She was a main branch princess that had derived no pleasure or joy from seeing sadness; she couldn't make full use of her clans patented stoic expression when she sees those in need and cannot help but lend a helping hand. Hyuuga were greatly discouraged from becoming medics and doctors, saying that the full potential of their doujutsu was only used to defend the clan and the family as ninja. Mari had revolted against this system the moment she had helped take Tsume Inuzuka to the hospital after she had sustained a broken leg during her personal training in the woods. She and the Inuzuka clan head were just six years old at the time. Watching the doctors tend to the pained Inuzuka had done something to her; it had opened her mind to a world of lending aid without bringing violence. She was the first ever Hyuuga to become a doctor and at such a young age. She was fourteen years old when she had graduated the senior medic school and became a doctor, the youngest ever to be recorded.

The next notable was her son, Hyuuga Naruto. He had strived to help by healing and defending. Thus his dream of becoming a ninja. The ancient clan had a set standard and way in which they did their business from cooking to tending to children. The first notable blonde Hyuuga had carved his own path, a different path than the one his

Clan wanted for him, and made a name for himself as the second youngest person to be placed in the bingo books. He was a twelve year old chunin when he had been told Iwa had placed him as a B rank ninja. The boy had shown so much prodigious skill and brains that the moment he had defected Konoha for some unclear reasons three main villages had stamped him as an S rank missing ninja right off the bat, with the highest bounty ever recorded. Kakashi of the sharingan had even said that Naruto had gotten stronger than him the moment he had acquired the porcupine summons when he was fourteen. He had reached a level of skill most would say rivalled the first ever Konoha missing ninja, Madara Uchiha.

The Hyuuga clan head had seen the intelligent spark in Naruto's light blue byakugan eyes the moment he was born, and he would say it was like looking into the future where this same child would only be making a steady progress upwards. With only two uncompleted missions and this was only because he had to drag his team mates out of the line of fire and tend to them; he was the sort of person younger clan members and non-clan members strived to meet. Nagato and Obito had even surmised that since he had Uchiha and Hyuuga genes flowing through him and that he had already unlocked his unique doujutsu ultimate form, the only thing limiting him was the cage bird seal on his forehead. Naruto and his partner would be the perfect asset for when they were campaigning for peace, Nagato would always think.

Zetsu read through all the records the Hyuuga had on Naruto, written down from the moment he opened his eyes to the moment Naruto had killed seven of the twelve fire guardians, a feat people would only dream of. The clan had primarily set the seal on his forehead as a way of slowing down his rapidly developing progress and so that he wouldn't pass on his 'strange coloured' byakugan, purifying the clan once more. Black Zetsu looked fixedly down on the short, detailed file the clan had on Naruto; the blonde young man was very good at keeping his secrets. Quite frankly if he wasn't who he was he wouldn't have a clue who Naruto was.

Since the moment his true mistress had been sealed up Zetsu had been observing the world from the shadows and influencing everyone towards the path he had set. Madara had piqued his interest long before when he was able to control the Kyuubi with relative ease, just like when Hogoromo Otsutsuki, the sage of six paths, was able to do for all of the beasts at the same time. Zetsu had acknowledged the man's strength and let it slip to him through mysterious means on how to unlock the rinnegan without attaining the sage's chakra directly. Obito was the next to gain his interest and he had quickly turned the boy from the path of light to a depressing darkness that had washed over his heart like a curtain. Yoruichi came next as the third Uchiha he could influence but so far he couldn't find how to, he chose to keep her close in case he would ever need her. The plant man would have thought that it was only Uchiha that were able to do mind bending abilities with their eyes but that had changed the moment he had witness Naruto take down a camp of C rank missing ninja far off in the edge of lightning country. This wouldn't have been unusual if not the fact that half of the battle between the thirteen year old boy and the full grown ninja was like watching a puppet show; the boy had used his eyes to control their limbs for the briefest of moments, forcing them to stab themselves or slit their friends with quick, decisive motions. The other times he had merely moved to quickly and made too many mature physical decisions for them to keep up with.

His curiosity about the boy had him searching all over for who he was and how he was so skilled; no Hyuuga was ever know to be able to control a person with a glance, the mind control only lasted a maximum of three seconds but for the boy it was more than enough time. It turned out that Orochimaru was right; he had said that if Naruto was infused with even a little Uchiha DNA his byakugan would transform into the perfect combination of the sharingan and the byakugan, seeing as Naruto already had some Uchiha DNA with him the infused on wouldn't be rejected. Even though the Hyuuga clan weren't interested in his deep ancestry, rather on containing him for as long and as hard as possible, so in addition to branding Mari he had also been branded when he was three.

The cage bird seal was an ancient, traditional seal the Hyuuga had created centuries ago to prevent their precious doujutsu from leaving the clan and to bestow punishment to defectors, but there was also an added side effect; it put a strain on the eyes and limited their seeing range. Naruto had never caused direct harm to his own clan so they couldn't find a reason to kill him with the seal, this was why the clan elders went behind the clan head back and had been sending main branch Hyuuga with tracking teams to find and kill the boy. They had been less than successful; Naruto knew plenty of ways to kill a person from incredibly far ranges, even though they can see the attack coming. It was one thing to catch him and it was another to lose sight of what you were doing in favour of looking him in the eyes and gloating. The byakugan reduced his mind control to a second but that was also more than enough.

For every traditional and ancient seal in history there was a counter seal, like the eight tails containment seal on the Kumo's jinchuriki ever since the first one. The hunter ninja slash spy slinked through the Hyuuga records, reading through Naruto's file. The blonde Hyuuga was fascinating in more ways than he could ever imagine. Zetsu could see it now; Madara having a complete sharin-byakugan in both of his eyes and a rinnegan on his forehead so he can finally unseal Zetsus mother form her prison. The problem lay in the fact that the first bearer of the incomplete sharin-byakugan (which was technically still a byakugan. I'll interchange the names) wasn't just going to give him his eyes. No matter, he would have Tobi retrieve the eyes after they had been completed. Or he could wait a few more years when Naruto and Yoruichi got their shit together and finally had sex; the sexual tension between them was so high it was nauseating. He would take the complete sharin-byakugan from the child's eyes. He shook his head; he didn't want to wait anymore, who knows how long they duo would keep dancing around each other. He was already so close to his goal, he couldn't spare the time to wait for them to have a child together. Though the potential fire Naruto's ghost fire to be even more powerful and being there to witness its effects was mouth-watering to think about.

Right now he had to focus on finding the counter seal. He snapped closed the file and traced his fingers over the dusty tomes that lined the walls, going from the very bottom to the to the ceiling. The clan had meticulously arranged all of their records in alphabetical order so all he had to do was to find 'C', then 'cage' or 'counter'. He smirked invisibly when he found the cage bird seal administration instructions scroll. It was dusty and old from disuse because the old clan seal master had already crammed every content in the seal to the extent he didn't need it to be present anymore. According to the scroll there were three ways to remove the cage bird seal: the death of the bearer, somehow attaining chakra from Homura Otsutsuki's great, great, great, great grandson, or getting blood from the same seal master that drew the seal.

Zetsu snorted when he read this; he didn't want to kill Naruto, it was a child's dream to get the chakra from a dusty old corpse, but the last requirement he could do. He placed the seal instruction scroll back and embedded Naruto's file to his memory before he went to the 'M' section for a map and also remembered the scrolls contents.

The clan seal master had his own quarters in the main branch general house that was well protected in case the branch members ever came after him, something that wasn't impossible to think about seeing as he wasn't too well liked by the branch members. In all honesty if black Zetsu wasn't who he would have found it hard to gain entrance into the man's quarters. He slithered out of the ground like a phantom and covered the man's mouth and eyes with a cloth soaked in chloroform just as his eyes snapped open to see who had entered his room at such an hour. When the struggling stopped the hunter ninja drew a small line from the old man's vein in his right wrist, making sure to get all of the blood into a beaker, he then put a stopper on top when it filled a bit more than half before he disappeared into the ground again, as if he was never there.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Gentle leaves crunched under their feet as the Konoha duo idly walked the last mile to Waterfall, which was covered at the front by a large forest. Yoruichi had her left arm out of its sleeve and lazily propped it out near her budding chest, hanging her wrist out like she didn't have a care in the world. Naruto though chose to keep both of his arms in his robe, his bandaged fingers just poking at the bottom of the sleeves. They always preferred to travel in silence, taking time to look around and appreciate the nature around them. Make no mistake, they did speak with each other but both had acknowledged that they were horrible at conversations; they always seemed to swerve back to training even if they were talking about family, so from a silent agreement they chose not to talk unless they required to.

Yoruichi looked at her older and much taller partner from the corner of her eyes and quirked up the side of her lips; she was bored and her favourite passed time was silent flirting. She knew Naruto was aware of what she was always doing but he preferred to feign ignorance or lightly show his frustration. She slipped beside him a little, not gaining his attention but enough for top of her head to just brush his nose, a gentle breathe escaped her small red lips and Naruto looked down at her, surprised how close she was to him, and that he wasn't even aware of it. The Uchiha waggled her eyebrow at him, which would look awkward if she did it to anyone else but the Hyuuga was already used to how she associated with him, only him. He rolled his eyes and she lightly poked his side with her hanging left hand, he took a small step away from her but she merely smirked a bit wider and slid up to his side again. He groaned quietly at this and looked down at her pointedly, but she again waggled her eyebrows and added a wink.

Naruto looked down at her blankly, not needing to look in front of him, and he stepped away again. As he predicted she shuffled up to his side again and jabbed his arm with her left pointer and middle fingers. A slow smirk came to his face as he looked into her sharingan eyes with his deactivated byakugan and he walked a bit faster, she followed suit and her face summarily met a tree. His low chuckles sounded like music to her ears. She huffed and hurried up to meet him and punch his shoulder with her right hand, making sure not to do it strong enough to break something but enough to convey her playful anger. He rolled his eyes again and nudged her a bit with his left elbow, a light dusting of red crossed her cheeks and over her nose; this was the first time in six years that he had made teasing contact with her in the two years they had been partnered. A small squiggly smile crossed her face and added to her light blush, Naruto looked at her dazed look with some amusement in his eyes; he didn't expect this sort of reaction from her. Her normally coordinated mind was ablaze of emotions and memories that flitted across and around her brain, she frantically tried to remember what her mother told her to do when Naruto, by some sort of miracle, teased her back, silently but she would take what she would get. She gulped silently and perspiration built on her forehead, Naruto looked even more amused at this. She slinked even closer to him and brushed the tips of her right fingers over his left fingers, making sure to send a shaky and flushed smile at him. He smiled at her lightly and brushed her fingers back, she felt woozy.

Yoruichi began taking in quiet deep breaths, her mouth hidden behind her nose high collar but their straw hats had been sealed in a storage scroll she brought with her. She had to stop and put her hand on a tree to hold herself up; this was the first time she had ever felt strong (positive) emotions towards a person and it felt like her heart was on fire but at the same time it had been dunked in a bucket of ice at how cool he was taking it.

She hurried back to him and smiled wider at him, a bit shaky at the edges but a genuine smile nonetheless. He returned a slow smile back and pulled her to him with a hand on her right shoulder before she could collide with a tree again. She coughed into her left fist and licked her ruby red lips, staring intently at his pale white lips; he pulled her out of the way from another tree again, 'focus Yoruichi! It's just a guy!' she thanked him with her eyes and kept her glance at their path. Though she did slowly reach over with her right hand and take his own hand, playing with his fingers, and he didn't pull it away. They were now walking embarrassingly close and she wasn't even aware of it. Her heart felt like huge drums at the moment, pumping scorching hot blood throughout her body; the blush already present on her face deepened a bit around her nose and her cheeks.

Naruto pushed her to a tree and she instinctively covered them up in a three layered B rank genjutsu just as a Waterfall team flew past them, probably on their way to a mission. The duo stayed where they were, staring into each-other's eyes. Yoruichi licked her lips and her eyes turned hooded but Naruto merely smiled lightly and bopped her nose with his finger, he pulled out of the genjutsu and broke it. She huffed in frustration and punched his shoulder again, adding more blows when he laughed at how red her face was. She crossed her arms and raised her nose into the air, walking forward with hurried steps away from him. Naruto snorted out his amusement and caught up to her, poking her side with his left hand and smirked when she used her hips to push him away.

Two years of working together gave you a sort of sixth sense of what the other was thinking. So without even looking at Naruto, Yoruichi froze and prepared a fistful of shuriken in her sleeved right hand. Naruto's byakugan blazed on sealessly as he stared forward but he waved for her to calm down a full minute later, "border patrol,"

She put on her serious face as she too looked forward, but without the far sight of the byakugan she was only able to see a small chakra signature. The Konoha duo stealthily leaped into the trees and hopped as close as they could to Waterfalls guard post, only a stone throw away from the waterfall that granted people entry into the village. The looked through the leaves at the formation the ninja took, noticing how tight they patrolled around but also noted how bored and tired they were. On instinct phantom Naruto's appeared all over, going through various actions on how to gain entry into Waterfall, the Hyuuga furrowed his eyebrows and caught some phantom Yoruichi's as well. The added person took him half a second longer to decide but so far it wasn't fatal.

"What's the plan, senpai?" the Uchiha murmured as her eyes flicked to him,

"I have two," he started, choosing to run her in on them, "either we go in with a bang or we travel underground until we get to the genjutsu negating waterfall, take out the two guards there and we're in."

"The last sounds better,"

"I know," how Waterfall was set up was that there was a huge body of water before the first waterfall that merely symbolized the main entry into the village and a smaller second waterfall far inside that cancelled any form of genjutsu. The shinobi would usually cover any guest's eyes with cloth so that the path through the labyrinth after the second waterfall would remain hidden, but Naruto was fairly confident he would be able to detect chakra footprint leading mainly to the village, he just had to look well. "Are you ready?"

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The streets were emptying as she pelted down. The people saw her haste and assumed it was another ninja beating, which hadn't happened in years but they left that fact out and closed up shop so they wouldn't be incriminated.

"Help! Somebody help me!" Fuu yelled as she barrelled through the streets, the people there merely spared her with mildly harsh glares before they slammed their doors shut on her. The mint haired girl ran up to a door and banged hastily on it, a child peaked through the window at her but he parent pulled the curious boy back, telling him not to look at what was going to happen. Sweat built on the seven tails jinchuriki as she spotted some black birds fluttering in an alley to her far right; the people got it all wrong, it wasn't another ninja beating. She began hyperventilating and running full tilt towards the leader's office, maybe Shibuki would believe her.

The usually confident girl knew she was grossly outmatched even before the confrontation had fully escalated. She had been in one of Waterfalls training grounds perfecting a technique her beast told her of before she heard a polite cough behind her as well as a tap on her shoulder. In her annoyance she swivelled around to yell at the culprit and maybe even punch him or her but her fist had been easily caught in Yoruichi's palm. Fuu swallowed thickly as she looked into the sharingan eyes of the Uchiha missing ninja and kicked away, ready to engage the female jounin in a battle until she looked over Yoruichi's shoulder and spied a pair of byakugan eyes and blonde hair. She knew she could try and hold off one S rank ninja until the commotion attracted back up but two? The seven tailed beetle holder leaped over the duo and they just watched her run off in a random direction, when she looked over her shoulder she briefly saw them look at each other before they both exploded into a murder of crows.

Fuu leaped sideways away from a brown quill that would have run through her left foot and used the subsequent quills as a sort of foot hold to get onto higher ground, but her plan failed when an the world seemed to spin together and all the colour mixed, she made a misstep and ran into a particularly sturdy wall. She gasped for breathe and shook her head, looking around frantically for the two S rank ninja. The wall she had collided into, which she used to hold herself up, began to breath and she hesitantly looked up. She swallowed thickly when she was met with Naruto's light blue byakugan; the older ninja made a quick motion with his head, snapping it to the left and she unconsciously followed suit, bashing her head against the real wall that was to her right. He caught her when she was about to crumble to the ground bonelessly by her limp left arm, preventing her face from meeting the ground.

A murder of crows flocked around him and combined behind the unconscious girl, forming his Uchiha partner. The world stopped warping around them to reveal that they hadn't even left the training ground; Fuu was in Naruto's grasp and very well unconscious from the quick neck motion and Yoruichi's neck chop to a small cluster of veins directly above her main tenketsu, located at the junction between her neck and her back. The blonde boy swiftly hefted the jinchuriki onto his shoulder and rolled his eyes when his Uchiha partner glared icily at the knocked out girl, "let's go before they notice anything,"

"Too late," a deep, weathered voice said from behind him, he looked over his shoulder with his deactivated byakugan eyes and lightly furrowed his eyebrows,

"Hyuuga Naruto, missing ninja of Konohagakure no Sato. Uchiha Yoruichi, also a missing ninja from Konoha. My day just keeps getting better and better," another person drawled, a male and very sarcastic.

Naruto turned around with a swish of his robe and Yoruichi prepared a fist full of shuriken. He looked at both carefully until, "wouldn't it be wise if one of you five ninja went to warn your leader?" Four of the ninja that had been hidden from sight, looking over Fuu took a step back in surprise at how he knew without looking but remembered he had the byakugan, a doujutsu that allowed the bearer to be able to see almost 360 degrees around him. They weren't aware of the fact that his eyes hadn't been activated throughout and that he was a sensor.

"The fact still remains you're both going down!" a girl with midnight black hair and rigid features yelled and powered through a few hand seals, Naruto started up his own too a second after her with only one hand and they both yelled their attacks, "Water release: Drilling water bullet!"

"Water release: Drilling water bullets," they both fired bullets at each other that negated each other, he hopped up a bit when two arms exploded from the ground and threw a kunai at the person, killing him with a clean head strike. He leaped back as Yoruichi blurred forward with her tanto flying in her hand behind her, she slashed the black haired girls throat and caught a thrown shuriken before she threw it back, impaling the throwers forehead. Naruto tapped the ground and a barrage of brown quills peppered another ninja, paralyzing him so the he could watch, immobile, as Naruto lifted the last ninja into the air with his free hand encircling the man's neck. The man was frantically kicking and moving until Naruto closed his fist and the victim went limp in his hand. He dropped the unconscious Waterfall ninja.

The Uchiha girl looked around with bored eyes and both sighed when the detected more ninja coming. Naruto's byakugan flared to life and rubbed his face with his free hand. Yoruichi shook her head, "the chunin exams were hosted here,"

"I assumed they would be back in Konoha by now,"

Just then teams' seven to nine dropped in front of the Konoha duo. Yoruichi got into a very relaxed posture, her tanto was pointed straight down like she didn't expect much. It was Neji that first spoke, "Na-Naruto-san!"

The blonde Hyuuga ignored him and stared fixedly at his half-sister, Mito Uzumaki. The fiery red haired nine tails jinchuriki was glaring harsh death at her half-brother, in a beginnings humming bird fighting stance, "you've grown, Mito-chan,"

"I don't know why you did it, nii-san, but we're taking you back to Konoha!" news of his exploits didn't fly over her head; she was very much aware of everything her brother had done throughout the shinobi world. She grit her teeth angrily when he brother blinked boredly at her, though she did see a small twinkle in his eyes.

Naruto leaped away towards the teams when a shadow shot out from the darkness behind the duo, "nice try…Shikamaru," Naruto said, and as he leaped to the presently still genin team he cracked his knee against Kiba's neck, throwing the boy away. As they watched the dog boy being easily disposed of snapped them out of their daze. Neji stretched forward with a blazing finger to jab the older Hyuugas ribs but Naruto leaned away and grabbed the limb, throwing him in the way of Chouji's 'Giant meat tank'. He kicked the bouncing genin away and used the same raised leg to plant three decisive kicks on Rock lee's chest, smirking invisibly at the sheer speed the genin made use of. He used his leg to push the dazed spandex wearing genin out of the way of a brutal 'Fang over fang'. He leaped away as the attack smashed in front of him and spun aside when Neji flew to him, tripping the prodigy with his foot and but the Hyuuga around and threw a palm strike to the offending leg, but Naruto slide his leg out of the line of fire and leaped away again from another 'fang over fang'.

Sai grabbed his red haired team mate before she could charge at her brother recklessly, "we can't take him on head first, we need a plan," he watched as Yoruichi deflected most of the kunai barrage Tenten had thrown at her from her summoning scroll, the Uchiha jumped over the rest and belched out small balls of fire from her mouth after a short set of hand seals. Tenten, Shino, Hinata, Ino and Shikamaru were forced to scatter as the fireball flew at them and smashed into the ground,

"I do have a plan; beat my nii-san and take him back to Konoha," she shook the ROOT shinobi's hand off,

Naruto matched palm strike for palm strike with Neji, going faster and faster but he was using only one hand to counter/block both of the younger Hyuugas deadly attacks. The strikes and blocks went faster and faster, blurring their hands as they met until Naruto stepped aside and planted his knee into Neji's stomach, blood exploded from his mouth as this happened and Sakura gasped. Naruto allowed the younger boy to slide off his leg limply onto the ground, but he wavered on his knees. Naruto looked down at the boy with his critical eyes, "you have certainly improved Neji," a little blood dribbled from the corners of the kneeling boy's mouth, Neji closed his eyes. The other genin watched the scene tensely. Neji was one of Naruto's more unsuccessful stalkers; he had always been caught but Naruto didn't particularly mind. Naruto cracked his left foot against Neji's temple and the boy fell to his side, unconscious.

"Neji-kun!" Tenten screamed when she looked at the other boys fight, distracting her from seeing Yoruichi flicker into sight behind her and bring the butt of her tanto down on her neck, knocking her out as well.

The blonde Hyuuga was immediately forced to defend against a massive 'Partial Body enlargement technique' spinning aside as the massive arm smashed into the ground and leaping over it as it moved to punch him. His byakugan eyes widened as a bone shattering punch met his cheek and blasted clear him across the training ground, he flipped twice and skidded to a stop, massaging his sore cheek and looking at Mito, impressed at how hard and fast she could hit. His healing chakra healed the bruise beneath the skin but a light purple bruise spread on his cheek. The girl held up her hands in a signature hand seal and dozens of Mito shadow clones exploded into sight, "Multiple shadow clone jutsu!"

Naruto bent under fists and slipped away from rage filled kicks, until his byakugan detected the real Mito. All motion moved to a crawl as his eyes analysed his sister, taking everything around him at once. The mirage like Naruto's blinked around him in numerous moves, attacking her and maiming her, all with him still having an unconscious Fuu on his shoulder. He looked through all of this in the blink of an eye and picked one; he bite his thumb and slammed it on the ground, "Summoning jutsu: Quill blood forest," and lethal brown quills impaled most of the clones, the others latched onto the quills and dived at him, he punched his fist through one and used the chakra burst to block him from view.

When the Mito clones leaped into the smoke and found no one they began looking around them frantically, the brown quills had risen up close to the sky, looking like a sort of twisted black and brown forest. The clones began perspiring as eerie smoke wafted through, barely passing their knees. Then one by one the clones began disappearing; being sucked into the ground, pale arms pulling them into the darkness of the quill forest. Screams echoed around her and the real Mito looked around frantically, running through the forest and panting as fear washed through her very being. She shook with terror as she watched a clone being caught by a flexible quill and dragged into the shadows, her screams reverberating around.

"Guys!" she called to her team mates and the other teams, not even comprehend that she could make more clones; she was that scared. She was looking at everything around her at one in a small circle of land that was free from brown quills, she was so distracted she didn't sense Naruto literally melting out from the side of thick brown quill and when she turned around sharply to look at him, noticing he wasn't holding Fuu anymore, he poked her shoulders and sun to her back, poking the middle of her spine. Her mouth flew open in shock at his action and willed her arms to move but they remained unresponsive, "it was nice seeing you. Get stronger, Mito-chan, you're going to need it," and he walked past her frozen body, set in time in a rigid humming bird stance.

"Get back here! Get back here you coward!" he ignored her and walked through the quill forest, the mud quills bending in after him.

His senses told him that the other genin that had been trapped in his 'Ninja art: Quill blood forest," had been promptly incapacitated by his mud clones and Yoruichi. He found Fuu propped up on a few mud quills and he hefted her up again on his shoulder, speeding back the way he went with his Uchiha partner at his side. His still activated byakugan warned him of incoming Waterfall shinobi, his eyes conveyed his message to his partner and she nodded, flipping through a few hand seals as the quills around them slid into the ground, "Wind release: Wind dragons," he chest puffed up with air and she blew the attack toward the general direction of the Waterfall shinobi. Dozens of wind dragons began pouring out of her mouth and flying through the air to their targets. The attack distracted the ninja enough seeing as even if they dodged the wind dragons stubbornly followed them; Naruto and Yoruichi ran full tilt towards the exit of Waterfall village. Naruto jumped and landed between two guards, he kicked on in the gut and palm struck the other, throwing them apart and Yoruichi leaped over him and brought her sharp weapon down on another ninja's shoulder, Spartan kicking the bleeding ninja to his incoming comrades behind Naruto.

The Hyuuga ran through the one handed jutsu he knew in his head and settled on one, "Water release: Great water wall," he began spewing out waves and waves of water that rose up in the air and blocked the attacking ninja, allowing him to turn around and dash through the genjutsu negating waterfall with the Uchiha girl. He detected his water wall give in from the insistent attack. He looked at his partner and she nodded, he stretched his right hand to her and she stretched her left, both stopped to watch the ninja on their way. They flew through a few sets of hand seals with their joined hands and just as they finished they began another set, shorter this time, "Wind release: Great breakthrough,"

"Fire release: Giant fire ball,"

"Combination jutsu: Fiery wind spikes!" they both shouted, Naruto blew out a huge gust of wind and Yoruichi blew a ball of fire. The attacks mixed and numerous gas spikes shot out of the mixture, killing and nailing a few ninja to the wall while the original mixture smashed directly in front of the remaining, blasting them away from them.

Both S rank missing ninja took their time to look at the carnage they had caused before they ran out of Waterfalls entrance.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

A month later

The Konoha duo looked down at the lifeless body of the former seven tails holder; the tailed beast had already been unsealed but it took a week of constant supply of chakra and concentration to remove the monster, add in another few days for them to transfer the beast to the Gedo statue all the way in Rain. It was understandable that they were tired.

Yoruichi yawned widely and stretched her arms over her head, making sure to thrust her budding breasts towards Naruto since they weren't in their Akatsuki robes. She sauntered up to him and ran her fingers up his bandaged arms, tracing his leanly muscled arms slowly. He looked down at her with a raised eyebrow; she was getting braver and braver by the day, last time he checked she almost had heart palpations when he nudged her back before they infiltrated Waterfall. She deactivated her sharingan, a rare sight only he was allowed to see, and smirked lightly up at him. She bit the corner of her bottom lip when her hands got to his shoulders, when he didn't pull away from her she went on and circled her arms around him.

"What do you want for dinner, Naruto-senpai?" she asked innocently,

"Uhm…"

She smiled a bit wider at his response, a growing blush spread across her face as she pushed her breasts to him, "just say the word," Mikoto, her mother, had told her that it was all in the eyes, the voice and the posture. She fist pumped her mental self and did a happy dance with her.

He blinked down at her and pushed her against a wall, bringing his face painfully close to her own. His arms went around her hips and she instinctively put her right leg around his leg to hold herself up despite the wall, her breathing was getting heavier and her heart was pulsing painfully in her chest as the older jounin rubbed his nose against her own, a desperate breathe escaped her lips and she gasped as he pushed his pelvis against hers. He had effectively turned the tables on her and she had no regrets seeing as she couldn't muster up even the slightest resistance.

Naruto trailed his lips lightly against her neck, painfully slowly, planting feather like kisses up her throat. Her chest was heaving in deep breathes and her hands squeezed his neck to her more, then just as his mouth wafted over her cheek and to the corner of her lips, her eyes closed and her lips puckered in desperation, seeking out his own lips but she frowned when he turned rigid. She opened her eyes and growled when she saw she was holding onto a log of wood, "senpai!"

His amused laughs echoed around the hide out, dodging the log of wood he threw at him.

Jutsu list

Summoning jutsu: Mud quill blood forest: this is an A rank summoning jutsu where Naruto summons a huge porcupine summons with high earth affinity. The summons stays underground and answers solely to Naruto's commands. The summons is able to control his quills so they can bend and move individually like snakes but still keep their integrity. This technique is different from Naruto's brown quill underground attacks because this attack makes use of a living creature that resides underground instead of pure chakra. Depending on how this technique is used it is able to confuse, scare, cloud and terrify the victim with the mist that flows at knee length and the sheer creepiness of the quill trees. Most that have witnessed this jutsu and lived have believed that they were in an incredibly strong genjutsu.

Combination jutsu: Fiery wind spikes: an A rank jutsu Naruto and Yoruichi created from combining their fire and wind attacks, but they had learnt to also combine their hands to form hand seals. This attack creates a huge ball of gas that sporadically shoots out gas spikes that burn a victim from within, leaving just a pin sized mark on the outside. The main ball of gas then impacts on the original target. It is very hard to dodge or counter with how the spikes shoot out in different direction but never towards the senders. The Konoha duos method of combining jutsu is different because if they had used separate hand seals and blew their attacks together it would have just created a much bigger and hotter ball of fire. And this jutsu allows Naruto to do it one handed, seeing as he had Fuu on his shoulder.

So? What do you all think?

Mito is stubborn to get Naruto back to Konoha because she wants to show everyone there that he isn't as perfect as he seems, by having him publically and formally face his crimes. She doesn't really care about Sasuke; he can jump off a cliff for all she cared, her mind is solely on getting stronger and retrieving Naruto, whether by herself or with her team. Think of her as a sort of more reckless canon Naruto but add in the fact that Kushina was there to train her in Uzumaki and Namikaze fighting styles, Kakashi would have to train her seriously or he would lose his manhood, Jiriaya would have to get his shit together and train her as well (or maybe he's already training her. (¬_¬) It's a surprise) and lastly she has all of Kushina's friends looking after her wellbeing. So she didn't have a bad childhood by any stretch of the imagination or she was not limited in her training, it just rubbed her the wrong way that Naruto was so perfect. Trust me when I say this, your all just beginning to see her strength. Just think about it, canon Naruto showed prodigious strength when he mastered an A rank jutsu in an hour but not even Kakashi taught him anything until a long while later, limiting him to shadow clones for a long time. Mito is the same but she is better raised and connected.

Naruto's perfect chakra control alone allows him to split most super complicated hand seals in half or even do it with only one hand. He can't copy jutsu; he can read the jutsu from the persons mind about a second after it begins, like he can read any other persons mind, maybe except some Hyuuga and Uchiha. He knows a lot of jutsu because he remembers them, like Orochimaru or any other good ninja does, nothing special. Next chapter we should see what happens to Naruto after his cage bird seal is removed, maybe he'll even get some Uchiha DNA into him. There are a lot of maybes going on here XD

The Konoha duos mission isn't to kill the jinchuriki, but when you unseal a tailed beast from the container the container dies form the loss.
