In Wind Country 2 Years Later

All around lay the bodies of around half a dosen men, all dressed in Wind country ninja attire. There was one man left among them, on the desert sands. He was on the ground slowly dying. One of the three men whom all attacked his squad, walked over to him. He struggled to get up, but couldn't. The person who walked to him had on a jacket/ cloak on, with red clouds on it. Instead of a full cloak, it was cut in the front, and back, showing the persons legs, then were cut on the sides, one on each of his legs. (AN/ think of altair's uniform in assassins creed, but different in some ways.)

He also was wearing tight black fingerless arm straps that coverred each of his arms entirely, coverring up his hands, and acting as fingerless gloves as a bonus. the sleaves of the cloak were cut just below his shoulders for the arm bands to show. The inside of his jacket was red. To top it off he was wearing black ninja sandals, a hood that coverred his whole face in a shadow.

When this person reached the dying man, he grabbed him by his collar, and drew him closer to his face, so the man's upper half of his body was sitting upright.

'All I can see is the blackness of the shadow that his shadow is casting... almost as if there is no one there to look at...' The man, who normally would have pissed himself by now, had already come to terms with his death. The black and red clad man kept staring at the man's eyes, and could not bring himself to look away.

'His eyes... they show... peace. He is truly at peace.' the stronger of the two thought, yet asked an unexpected question " Do you fear death?" said the voice, in a semi-deep rumble yet the dying man could tell it was a young voice. He answerred his question in a weak, quiet voice. "I used to, but now, I have learned to accept it, as it will come eventually anyway. But before you end my story... may I see your face, and tell everyone in whatever place I end up in that I was killed by a strong man."

The man sat in contemplation for a few moments, then pulled off his hood. There, was a black hunter-nin like mask, with 1 red slashes going through each eye. He slowly started to pull it away from his face. In it's stead was a boy around 14 or 15, with dark refined marks on his cheeks, two small, sharp fanged teeth barely sticking out of his mouth, golden, blonde hair, which in it, had many red streaks through. He also had shining saphire eyes, with the majority of the two eyes having streaks of silver in them, and in the light they were in right now, looked as if they were shining. They showed many things in them. Sadness, anger, hatered, happyness, and a small bit of regret.

"My name... is Sono Yasumubi Shinigami ( A/N combo of peaceful and ending,the peaceful ending death god)...Kazama Namikaze Naruto." The man closed his eyes and waited for the comforting warmth of the afterlife. He looked up after a few seconds, and was asked one last question. "What did you mean by "your story"?" Naruto asked confused.

"It is my life, my story... and you will end it..." he was beginning to lose consiosness, but continued "and my story will be told by the gods, to their children. I am glad it was to be ended by someone like you." Naruto sat, in a daze, yet his facial expressions betrayed no hint of emotion.

'I killed this man's whole group, and he doesn't hate me... he doesn't resent me... he understands the way of life a shinobi must live. He was wise, yet so young. Maybe in his early twenties. I must give him his last wish... even if my heart is saying something else completely...' he was brought out of his thoughts as Kisame was coughing rather loudly to tell Naruto to hurry up.

"thank you, you have tought me a valubale lesson.I will end it quickly." The man nodded and closed his eyes. Naruto gently let him go, to keep him sitting up. Under his cloak, right on his spine was his katana. he clicked the lock on the sheath, and slowly pulled it out. His last words to the man were "goodbye, Tabono Uresaki." The man's eyes widenned a little before closing again. At that moment, naruto brought his sword down in a graceful slash, cutting his left jugular just enough to kill him, without damaging his body too much.

'He wasn't suprised I knew his name without asking for it. He didn't ask about my powers. What do you think Kyuubi?' Naruto thought, flicking the blood from his sword and re-sheathing it.

"I don't know kit, but he didn't seem to care. He was different than many others... and wise too. Learn something from his sacrafice."

Naruto had already absorbed 2 tails of chakra from Kyuubi, and was well on his way to the 3rd. It gave him some... unique abilities.

--Flashback about 1 year ago--

It was Naruto's 14th birthday. It was also the first one away from Konoha. The first one away from the hate filled glares, and the brutal beatings. He no longer had to worry about anything else, and was very glad about it. A few days ago, Kyuubi told him that he had some very important news to give him, but it would have to wait.

The news that he heard shocked him It was around 9:30 p.m. when Kisame, Naruto,and Itachi were sitting in a camp fire about a days travel from their Head Quarters when Kyuubi finally decided to finally spill it.

"Okay brat, on your 14th birthday, which is about to be in 30 minutes, give or take a few, you will gain your first tail of chakra. It will affect your appearence slightly, and give you tremendous power."

'Wait, wait wait... are you kidding me?! I can't absorb your chakra! That will give people even the more reason to call me demon! If I absorb it into my system, that would make me part demon right? I thought this would come later on!? Not so soon!'

'This kid learns way too fast... He also has too many problems that he hasn't gotten over yet. Damn that acursed villlage.'

"Kit, for one, A year ago when you were doing your first stages of training, I explained everything, but you weren't paying attension. 2nd, only certain people in Konoha treated you badly because of me. You have no enemies here. Your two senseis know what you are, and they don't hate you. Only small minded fools would ever call you a demon. Okay? you are a kid who has lived a hard life, and don't complain about it. That is why I like you. That is why I'm helping you. Don't make me regret everything that I've done and was planning on doing. So stop whining or I'll eat you." He demanded.

Naruto's mood lightenned as he chuckled a little bit, 'Yeah right like you're in any position to even be able to think about eating me. You can't even hurt me, let alone touch me.'

Kyuubi snickerred, "Oh I can't?"

The next thing Naruto knew, he was on the ground holding his head in pain. Kisame jumped up in concern, while Itachi 's face showed a veeeery small hint of worry, but it went back to it's normal state when the blonde sat back up and started cursing profanities at the air.

The shark man sat back down as well, then asked a stupid question, "Naruto, are you okay?"

"Yeah, me and Kyuubi had an arguement and he sent a shockwave of chakra to my head and it hurt...alot."

"It's nothing like you'll be feeling soon though." Kyuubi warned him.

Said blonde proceeded to explain to them that it was his 14th birthday in about 26 minutes, and Kyuubi wanted them to put up a small barrier around the area, as not to destroy the landscape and have enemies coming from all directions from the surge of chakra. After about 15 minutes of explaining and trying to get the two out of their shock, Naruto was already becoming excited and anxious about these new powers Kyuubi was telling him about.

"Hey, brat, since you are well on your way to becoming the new Kitsune boss, and partner of keeper of hell, you are going to gain some interesting abilities. You will become part of the "Reaper Organization". It is a group of the strongest demons, Shinigami, and Demi-gods. They all try to bring peace to the world. Without peace, you all would have destroyed yourself. After all, the 9 Bijuu were formed to keepthe peace, as Gods cannot step foot onto the worlds they have created. Remember the lesson I taught you about it, or were you still not paying attension at the time?"

'I remeber Kyuubi... and that's why soon, I have to find a way to stop Akatsuki and Orochimaru. To bring peace... man, you nag alot.' Kyuubi chose to ignore this comment as the time of "transendance" was nearing.

By then, The two oldest of the group started placing seals on the ground, about 100 feet away, in the forest. Kyuubi kept on explaining the powers that he would soon obtain. "Now, as to the powers you will soon be gaining... Well,since you are to help keep the peace, you will have powers that allow you to do just that. The first of significence, is a sort of kekkei genkai in your eyes. They will be able to see into the soul of someone, see if their intentions are good or bad, and read their memories. It will be weak when you first get it, but the more you practice with it, and the more chakra you absorb from me, it will become stronger. When you first get it, you probably won't be able to read people's souls, but you will be able to see a few minutes into their memories.

"The next thing, is by absorbing me, you will gain a great affinity over fire, and with training, you will be able to command fire at will. I have no Idea what your Half demon side will bring you... You will also be able to use light, and darkness, to an extent. Not much though, as that is reserved for the Gods and Demons, and you probably will not get it until your 6th tail of chakra. And there are many other abilities that MIGHTcome with the absorbtion, but now, we must get to the other two humans, because you are about to absorb my chakra, I can already feel it..."

With that, Naruto ran over to his senseis and screamed, "It's happenning! Cmon!" Naruto saw a huge array on the ground, that coverred about 40 feet in diameter, and ran to it.

"Dammit kid! We're not finished yet!" yelled Kisame.

"Well Kyuubi says you better improvise because It's hapeni-" He abruptly stopped, when he felt a sudden warmth flood his body,and then it started to burn. He felt as if thousands upon thousands of tiny little needles descended upon him, and with every strike, poison was let into his body, burning him alive.

"GGGGGGRRRRRAAAAAYYYYYYYHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" The blonde let out a blood curdling scream, hunching over in pain. Kisame cursed, and started the incomplete barrier seals, when Itachi began to pump chakra into it, to keep it stable. They finished just in time, as red flames started to engulf the boy, then blue ones.They fought, and neither of them seemed to be winning. They took the shape of a human, and a demon. the two watched them fighting for what seemed to be hours, until another scream was heard from Naruto, and the barrier began to crack.

"Damn it! The pressure is destroying the barrier from the inside! Itachi, let up just enough chakra, to make a sun-roof!"

"Already on it Kisame." was all he said in reply.

Suddenly, the two fighting chakras charged each other, head on. When They met, silver light exploded from Naruto's body, Going up through the hole in the top of the barrier. it shot upwards, like a tower, then exploding into a bright flash, lighting up the night sky. The barrier started to crack,as Naruto's screaming died down a little. Finally, it exploded from all of the pressure.

Suprisingly, ithe silver chakra that hit them like a wave, didn't feel menacing, like the red chakra did. It felt comforting, and it even recharged both of the mens chakra coils.

Just as suddenly as the chakra came, it was gone, and after the two's eyes adjusted to the light change, they saw what a slightly different looking Naruto asleep on the ground.

"Damn, did you feel that chakra?" Kisame blurted out.

"Yes... it was... interesting."

--End flashback--

He got up and walked over to Kisame and Itachi.

" He had no part in the rebelion, he and his squad were a nuetral party, going to retreave the stolen scrolls from a group of rebels, in hopes to stop the civil war."

He continued, "What I saw in his memories were that the scrolls were east here about 15 miles, and the squad of ninja consists of about 7 people, all mid-chuunin and higher."

This made Kisame smile. In this civil war of Wind country, he got to kill as many people as he wanted, without getting in troube with their leader.

"Lets go then." The second tallest of them spoke.

The other two nodded, and they all took off east.

"So those guys were easy for you eh? you showed nice work there." Kisame asked his pupil.

"No actually. What I said to that man was true. They were a good match. a whole group of jounins... it took alot out of me. I am only grateful I have so much stamina and chakra now. But I am still not invincible." The last part was a mantra Kyuubi made him say over and over when he gained his first tail of chakra.

They continued to run for several more minutes.

When they arrived at the camp,there were 5 people sitting in a circle, drinking water and socializing. The other two were in a tent about 30 feet away working out some sexual relations rather noisily.

"Kisame, this is where you come in at. Brute force. Give Samehada a nice meal if you like." Offerred Itachi.

The shark man grinned, and accepted the offer, as it came on rare occasions. "Sure okay, I get 4 people, and the rest are to you two."

Kisame was a bit... insane, when it came to fighting. Naruto guessed it was just his shark-like traits.

"Ready... go." orderred Naruto. He still wasn't as strong as Kisame or Itachi, but he was closer than what was expeted of him. Leaader had assigned him as captain of this mission though, as a test.

Kisame utterly ignored stealth and charged the men and women sitting down. "AAAHHAAHAHAHAAAA!!" He gave a hearty laugh, and before they could even react two men had there heads cleaved off.

Naruto jumped high into the air, throwing three shuriken that were caught by a woman who was planning on returning them. Naruto smirked, as he was falling back down. The projectiles had explosive seals on them. The explosion disturbed the two people in the tent. As they were coming out, Kisame finished the other two people.

A man with long black hair came out of the tent, followed by a woman with short brown hair. They were both naked as the day that they were born.

"What the hell are you doi-" He paused as he felt searing pain in his chest, courtesy of Itachi's kunai.

Naruto sighed, "I don't like fighting women when it's unnecisary. Itachi..."

The Kunai burried into the mans chest morphed into a liquid like substance, moving further into his body, and began to control it.

"I'm already doing it, Naruto-kun." The "corpse" replied. The woman screamed.

The "man" performed handselas only fast enough for Naruto and Kisame to see. He released a Katon: Goukyaou no jutsu on the poor woman.

The man dropped dead once more, as the substance in his chest exploded. The weasle man rose from the sand sighing, "I still can't pefect the jutsu yet."

"Oooh, did I hear a hint of sadness in there Itachi-sensei?" Naruto joked. All the other man had to reply with was a 'hmmm' and the cold shoulder.

"Well, we should pick up the scrolls and be on our way back to the Leader." His sensei's agreed.

'He probably wants them to find a way to draw out more jinchuuriki. I need to stop him soon. But how am I supposed to get stronger!?'

"I have a proposal."explainedKyuubi.

'What might that be?'

"Ask the Uchiha to put you into the world of tsukyomi, and teach you the concepts of jutsu, so in the real world, you can practice them with Kage bunshin. And stop being so afraid to kill people all the time. After all, isn't your name suposed to be Yasumubi Shinigami?"

'Hmmm... I'll ask him. And thanks for the advice.'

"Anytime kit."

They rumaged through the camp, and found what they were looking for, unsuprisingly, in the camp that smelled of sex.

"Ugh, it smells in here." Kisame complained.

Once they had the scrolls they needed, they began walking out of the campsite.

Naruto was hesitant to ask the question that has been nagging him all day long.

"Itachi-sensei, can I... can I go see Gaara?"

The other man's brow furrowed slightly, before returning to normal.

"Naruto, you know we can't stop off anywhere. We must complete our mission. Leader would be furious if he found out."

The blonde frowned in his hood. Not that Itachi or Kisame could see, because it was so dark inside.Normally, Itachi could see his face, but he began practising fighting without his Sharingan. "To hell with Leader. He hasn't evwen told us what he wants with these scrolls."

"I dislike his orders as much as you, Naruto-kun. But we must obey them until you are strong enough to help us in our quest."

Naruto growlled. He was beginning to become angry with his sensei. He did not like taking orders from Leader. It was two god damn years since he has seen one of his only true friends, and some mysterious asshole was not about to stop him from seeing him. "I'm sorry Itachi-sensei, Kisame-sensei, but I have to go at least warn him about Leaders plans for him. I'll meet up with you at the border of wind and river countries. Later." With that he shunshined away.

"That damn kid is so wreckless." Kisame snarled.

"It's no use stopping him. He's warning a friend. Lets go."

--1 hour later--

The gaurds of Sunagakure were doing their jobs very well, as they did everyday. So it's only likely that one spotted a hooded man slowly approaching the gates.

"Hey, someone's coming!" someone yelled out. Naruto had flipped his cloak/ jacket around, so the black coat and red clouds were inside, unvisible. It was now a blood red peice of attire.

When he was only 20 feet away from the gates, an elite ninja of the village appeared in front of him. "Halt, state your business here." he demanded.

"I wish to see the Kazekage, Gaara." after that statement the mans eyes widenned.

"How do you know that Gaara is the Kazekage? That information has been kept top secret, only known by other kages. Are you a spy? Answer me!"

"Now, now, don't lose your temper. If I was a spy, do you seriously think I could take down a kage? That would be suicidal. Tell him I have information on the Akatsuki organization that he needs." Naruto couldn't help but smirk as the mans eyes widenned once more.

He nodded, and left, only to be back around 15 seconds later, orderring the gaurds to open the gates.

"I will escort you, sir." Naruto nodded in agreement.

Along the way, he was checking out the city. It was amazing how all of the buildings were created from sand, and mud. It was amazing. When they arrived at the Kage tower, the man nodded once more, before disappearing in a Suna shunshine.

The doors openned wide, accepting Naruto into the building. There, he saw Gaara, at his desk, starring through a hole in the wall that was used as a window.

"I thought I felt you... Naruto-kun." He said, looking at the blonde. The gaurds began leaving the room, after being waved away by their Kage.

Naruto proceeded to take his hood off. "You sound like Itachi-sensei."

"So it is true then, that you have joined Akatsuki." His face twisted in concern as he studied the new look of his only friend.

"Yes, it is. I am becoming so much stronger there. But soon it is time to end my alleagence with them. my sensei's agree with me. Our leader is becoming to powerful. To fascinated with his work. He is very dangerous. Sure we have protection from our enemies, food, water, a place to sleep; But for how long? I believe once he has what he needs he will betray us. I need to escape, until I can absorb all of Kyuubi's chakra, and then I will face him."

The last statement intrigued gaara,"So, how many tails have you absorbed?"

"In about 14 days, it'll be 3 tails. Speaking of Bijuu, can you sleep yet?"

"Yes, Jiraiya fixed my seal. The leaf are helping us in this civil war, so if you are looking to not recieve any attension, I would stear clear of the battle fields."

"Okay. So why did this war start anyway?"

"Many feel that I am a demon still, and cannot accept my promotion to Kazekage."

"I see... I promise you I will do everything I can to stop this war. But there is something you must know about Akatsuki." He paused as gaara gave him the "go-ahead".

"Soon they will come after you. They want the Shukaku inside of you. Be careful, okay?" Gaara nodded. "I have to go now, though. It's been nice seeing you again, Gaara."

"You as well, Naruto-kun. I will not tell of your presence here."

"Thanks. Oh, and tell Temari and Kankuro I said hi."

"I will do that."

"Later, Gaara." He gave his last goodbye, as he began to dissapear in a whirlwind of air.

--With Itachi and Kisame 2 hours later--

"Where is that brat? He'd better hurry up. We're nearing the border." Kisame exclaimed as he began to see a small treeline come into view.

"He'll be there. He has more promise than you give him credit for." replied his partner.

"Tch. I bet you 20,000 ryo that he will be there 1 hour later than us."

"I'll accept. I bet he'll be there before us."

"HA! Okay."

When they neared the border, Kisame's eyes twitched in annoyance as he spotted a hooded figure, with the akatsuki emblem all around him.

"How did you kn-", Kisame stopped in mid sentence, finally realizing his mistake. "when did you activate the sharingan!?"

"A while ago. I hope you are prepared to pay what you owe." Itachi gave a slight smirk.

Kisame growled deeply, as they neared Naruto.

"Well, it took you guys long enough. what's your problem Kisame-sensei?"

"Nothing." He replied in an annoyed way.

"You sure are grumpy today Kisame-sensei."

"Shut up or you'll regret it."

Naruto began reading his memories, yet he could only look near 15 seconds ago, due to Kisame's overall strength.

"Lose a bet eh? Sorry I couldn't come later, but I didn't want to dissapoint Itachi-sensei."

Realization dawned upon him too late. "You planned all of this didn't you!?" the shark man's eyes were now the size of baseballs.

"It is possible..." He said, as he began running again.

"DAMN IT!!" Kisame screamed, following suit.

Naruto decided not to laugh, as karma woould turn around on him as well.

--With Sasuke--

"Give me more power." The raven haired man demanded.

"Now, now sasuke-kun, you don't want to overstrain that wonderful body of yours." Orochimaru replied menacingly.

"I need more power! I am an avenger!"

"Kukukukuku. Okay Sasuke-kun. I have a new jutsu for you to learn..."
