Naruto woke up to someone knocking on his door, sighing as he recognized the chakra signature and went the door, knowing the person was here on the Homage's orders. He opened it to see Yugao in her ANBU uniform.

"Naruto-kun, Hokage-sama has called for yours and Yugito-chan's presence."

Nodding he waved her in the while he went to the other room to get his sister.

After a few yells and a loud crash, out came a very irked and wet Yugito dragging an beat up Naruto by his foot causing Yugao to sweat-drop.

"Damn idiot waking me up like that." Yugito muttered while Naruto got up as if nothing happened.

"Next time wake up." Naruto retorted.

"Or wha-"

"Excuse me but we really need to get going." Yugao said with a hint of urgency, grabbing both of their shoulders and disappearing in a cloud of smoke.

Hokage Office/ Ten Minutes Later

"I'll make this it brief, two days ago, Team Eight and Team Seven received a C-ranked mission to escort a bridge-builder to the Wave Country. Supposedly, the only dangers were supposed to be bandits and thieves...however, they were intercepted by two Chunin-ranked Missing-nin known as The Demon Brothers from The Village Hidden in the Mist on the way there, bumping the mission up to at least a B-rank. Both teams were able to fend them off rather easily, however..." Sarutobi said letting the information sink in.

"Upon reaching Wave Country itself, they were intercepted by two Jounin level Missing-nin from Mist by the names of Zabuza Momochi, as well as Raiga Kurosuki, both former shinbone of Kiri, one of the Seven Swordsman.." he stopped when he saw Naruto tense up a little bit, "We don't know the specifics, but shortly after dusk yesterday, a message was delivered by summoned carrier pigeon that stated that both teams been defeated, although apparently, all of them survived, and Kakashi was able to fend off Zabuza as was Kurenai was able to hold off Raiga til everyone got to safety. We aren't exactly sure what's going on now, but we do know that they asked for reinforcements in the letter...and I am sending you four as those reinforcements."

"Also Kakashi confirmed that their employer is Gato of "Gato's Shipping and Co." and has an army of almost 3000 under his command and stationed them off in 5 camps to intercept any oncoming oppression to Gato according to the bridge builder Tazuna."

"I'm issuing two missions that will be classified as an A-ranked and an S-ranked mission. The A-ranked mission is to make sure that bridge is finished. The S-ranked will be to liberate the country." Sarutobi ordered while stressing the word liberate, which everyone in the room understood. "Do you want these missions?"

"When do we leave Hokage-sama?" Yamato asked calmly while Naruto mentally was coming to realization of something. If Hinata is on the mission and they ran into Zabuza, then that meant she ran into.."

...oh boy...

"You will leave in two hours. You all are dismissed" the Hokage said interupting his thoughts.

The Hokage sighed, pulling out a bottle of sake knowing this was going to be tough. He had just sent Naruto on two high level missions against a small army of mercenaries and a high probability of more missing-nin beside Zabuza and Raiga.

In short the missions at least ANBU level and was practically suicidal for mere Genins.

But then again Naruto and Yugito were no mere Genins.

...He just hope nothing got out of hand and they don't force his hand.

"Shouldn't you not be drinking, Old Man? I mean it's bad for someone your age." A voice behind him said with a hint of concern. The Hokage looked behind him at the windowsil with a sad smile.

"I only drink nowadays due to stress." Sarutobi said drinking from the glass he poured. "Ever since Naruto-kun has returned, the council have been breathing down my neck. The civilian still think he is the Kyuubi incarnate and now that he has a little bite to go with his bark they are still trying to push for his execution." he sighed pouring another glass. "The good side is that he has enough supporters from the shinobi council and him keeping both clans separate gives him two votes on the council so unless its unanimous, they can't do anything to him politically as of yet."

"But knowing some of the more pigheaded bastards on the council or more importantly that one eyed bastard and your old teammates, they'll still try to look through every loophole and try to pull something on him. Perhaps even going as far as reaching out to the Daimyo." the figure responded with disgust in his voice.

"Actually they pulled a stunt like that with the Uchiha. Ever since Naruto beat him and Kakashi wanted to disband the group..."

Flashback

"YOU WHAT!" Kakashi yelled.

"Kakashi Hatake you are hereby ordered to continue on as Jonin sensei to team seven consisting of Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno and Sai. However it is the council's decision that all your team missions will go through us and not the Hokage. It is also our decision after reviewing your report that you will not act as leader of the team, but instead only as teacher. When it comes to missions you are not to be involved and Sasuke Uchiha will be in charge of all team operations." Homura said.

Kakashi was about to interject, but the Hokage subtly raised his hand stopping Kakashi, his face showing it got worse.

"Training will also be determined by Sasuke Uchiha and if any reports of you missing, being late to, or object to the training you will immediately lose your position as well as placed under arrest for treason. This is neither up to discussion nor debate this is the council's decision and will not change. This decision is for both of you Sasuke Uchiha is in charge and if we find out that either disrupted our decision the consequences will hold." Koharu said and the two elders started leaving.

Kakashi's fists were tightening enough to make his knuckles white. The usually calm and aloof shinobi was going over the deep end and he was ready to kill something...or specifically someone.

After the two elders left Sasuke turned to him.

"Well Kakashi-san, training will start at seven sharp we'll have a mission ready for us by noon. Remember don't be late otherwise suffer the consequences." Sasuke said haughtily as him, Sakura, and Sai left.

Kakashi destroyed the closest thing to him which had been a very expensive looking chair. This however didn't come even close to subsiding his rage and he was thinking of 465 ways to kill Sasuke without it coming back to him

Perhaps a cyanide pie or an accidental "training" exercise.

"My apologies Hokage-sama I will replace it." Kakashi said straightening up. His anger quelled a little remembering where he was.

"I was expecting a lot more damage do not worry about it. Now I will tell you, know this is forced and there is nothing that even I can do about it. I've been told that they are to also be admitted into the Chuunin exams as well without any objections." The Hokage said pulling out a bottle and a cup. Kakashi knew the Hokage gave up drinking years ago, for him to have willingly broken his vow to never touch the stuff again means he too is in the same situation as him. "They've also demanded that Sasuke be taught by Cloud as well as strip Naruto of his rank as Genin and executed but that was easily denied when Hiashi defended him and even going as far as giving him support of the entire Hyuuga clan."

Cloud who was leaning against the wall in a corner shook his head with a dark look at the gall of the council while trying to figure out a way to get the upper hand. The council in his opinion held too much power and needed a serious reality check. A thought crossed his mind and he started to head to the door.

"Where are you going?" Sarutobi asked.

"To go see a friend about the council problem." he replied and with that he left, leaving a curious cyclops and a wary old monkey."

Flashback End

"Are you sure you can trust him?" Jaraiya asked while Sarutobi looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Not that I doubt him but I just don't know him, the woman, and the brat that hangs with them as well. Yugito Nii went missing 17 years ago and even so, she would be a woman in her 30's, not the same age as the brat."

"I understand your concerns Jaraiya so thats why I'm sending you to assist them in Wave and you can find out the answers from your grandson."

Jaraiya nodded and was about to jump out the window when a thought cross his mind.

"You know Hime is going to kill you and level half of Konoha when she finds out her grandson is still alive." He grinned as he watched his old sensei start to pale and had a look as if he was about to have a heart attack. "Just wanted to give you a heads up that I sent her a letter via toad" he said then jumped out the window jumping on the rooftops, ignoring Sarutobi drinking the rest of the sake bottle in one sitting.

"I'm getting too old for this shit" he grumbled then shivered and for a second he thought he saw a pair of hate filled brown eyes staring at him but just thought it was the sake playing tricks on him.

A blond woman stared in disbelief at the slot machine as it announced she'd won the grand prize, money pouring out of the slots like rivers. Her apprentice was squealing in joy as she twirled a startled well groomed pig around like a toddler.

'This isn't good!' the woman predicted, 'Why do I feel like killing Sarutobi-sensei and leveling half of Konoha?'

She shook her head and collected her winnings, only to blink as a machine she passed began spewing out more money.

'Okay, now I KNOW something's going on!'

With Team 11- Village West Gate, Two Hours Later

"It'll take us about two days passing through Hi no Kuni until we reach the border, then another two to reach Wave so we'll make stops at whatever town we come across." Anko said as she and Yamato started to walk away.

"Does it have to take four days or can we get there as quick as possible?" Naruto asked pulling out a scroll and tossing it to his sister. The Jonins looked at him curiously. "Honestly I don't want to travel four or five days if I don't have to."

"That's just the projected time. If we can get there faster then that's all the better." Anko said with a shrug. Naruto nodded.

"We can do it in a few hours so whenever you're ready." Naruto said walking past her. Anko started laughing.

"I don't know what you think, but there is no way to cross the amount of land required in a few hours." Anko said still laughing. "In fact if you were able to do it I'd strip for you." Anko said laughing, while Yugito snickered.

"Nice offer but I'll pass. Are you ready?" Naruto said crossing his arms. Anko nodded still laughing. Naruto bit his thumb and did a few hand seals.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" Naruto yelled and three foxes the size of horses, one crimson red and the other two brown, appeared and bowed. Anko stopped laughing and blinked.

"WHAT THE HELL?" Anko yelled pointing at the foxes while they blinked at her. Naruto ignored her question and grabbed her waist and jumped onto the red fox placing her behind him as he sat down. Yamato just shook his head and got on the one behind the one Yugito was sitting on.

"Hang on or you'll fall off." Naruto said casually. Anko was curious and grabbed Naruto's sides. "Jinsoku, Hayaku can you guarantee my teammates safe passage? We need to avoid the enemy camps at all cost and make it the teams location." Naruto commanded.

"As you wish Naruto-sama." they both chorused while the crimson fox snorted while sniffing the air. Before Anko could blink the air around her nearly pushed her off. She instinctively held onto Naruto tighter letting out a squealing scream.

"Well she we Yamato-sensei?" Yugito said while her fox pulled off as fast as Naruto's. A second later the fox he was on pulled off, not wanting to be left behind and displeasing his master.

She had to close her eyes as the wind was too strong. She held on to the blond and was marveling how his body felt against her. As if something deep down in her was telling her that she belongs to him. Those thoughts were halted when she heard the blond male's voice.

"If you wanted to hold onto me sensei all you had to do was ask" Naruto chuckled, unaffected by the speed they were going or the feel of Anko's chest on his back. Then the fox came to a complete stop and Naruto ducked a smack to the back his head from his other passenger.

"Don't ever do that again!" Anko yelled jumping off the fox. Naruto looked at her with a amused grin while hopping off the fox. They had appeared right in front of the cliff that showed the borders of Wave country after three hours of leaving Konoha.

"You were the one that said it would take days. I was just proving you wrong." Naruto calmly said pulling out something from his pocket that looked like a steaks wrapped in aluminum foil.

"Yeah, and it's supposed to! Next time you have a sure fire way that disproves me tell me in advance before I make a bet with you!" Anko yelled. Yugito and Yamato sweat dropped at the Hebi jonin's exasperation. Naruto just shrugged and held out a piece of meat to his foxes. The foxes ate them easily and thanked Naruto.

"Where's the fun in that?" Naruto asked walking to the cliff with his fox following behind. Naruto held out a scroll to them. "I'm the most unpredictable ninja in the Elemental Nations so you should have known better. And besides I'd rather get done with this mission so we free these people from that shithead Gato, Anko-sensei." Naruto said seamlessly.

Anko huffed and stood beside Naruto while she eyed Yamato who was fighting back chuckles. "And why are you so calm and relaxed about the riding" she asked the former ANBU captain.

"When you've been in ANBU since you were six, and been around Naruto as long as I have, nothing seems to surprised you anymore" gaining a confused look from Anko.

"We should get moving guys. The longer we wait, the chances are higher that they might get killed" Yugito commented jumping of the cliff and started jumping through the trees. Seconds later the group followed.

The team moved onto the main town of Wave. which would most likely contain Gato. But first they had to reunite with Kakashi and Kurenai, along with their team. They figured that they can sneak through the forest on the outer edges of the town, and make their way towards Tazuna's house, which is ten miles north of the village. They set out immediately.

Yugito repressed a forlorn scowl at the state of the town. It took them an hour to finally reach the town and now they've been leaping from rooftop to rooftop for several minutes going towards Tazuna's house with the help of the horse size crimson red fox that shrunk to the size of a bloodhound lead them.

Gouki, who was currently leading both of them to where he smelled Hinata, gave him a backwards glance as well, but just as quickly as it was there, it was gone, replaced with slightly widened eyes and a vacant gaze.

Suddenly, Gouki was going much faster than he had been, "Kit, I'm picking up more scents from where I initially smelled the white eyed girl. A lot more. We should probably hurry."

Yamato's brow furrowed slightly. The report said both teams were injured, then there was the possibility that they wouldn't be able to defend themselves from even the worst of bandits. They really didn't have to waste, they increased their speed

After a few more minutes of leaping from roof to roof, the fox finally came to a stop. He didn't even need to point out to everyone where Kurenai and Kakashi was.

There were a clump of one hundred bandits, surrounding a ramshackle house supported by stilts over water. It wasn't large, nor was it small, but it certainly looked to be in disrepair. The bandits were apparently doing everything they could to bash in the front door of the house, and were succeeding. Over seeing all of this stood a man who look like a shinobi.

He had green hair expanding in wild directions with his headband covering his forehead, he wore a white and blue jumpsuit and wore blue shinobi styled sandals. He carried an umbrella on his back and wielded a sword in his right hand a purple colored, metallic looking hilt with an activated energy blade. The sword itself is yellow colored and has a thin blade of three feet long and nine inches wide. Its blade was crackling with electrical energy.

He was Aoi Rokusho an A-ranked Jonin level Leaf Missing-nin, and holder of the Nidaime Hokage's legendary sword the Raijin.

Before he could pull out a Kunai, Naruto put his hand over him to signal him to stop.

"You two stay here. I'll take out the cannon fodder while Yugito will take out Aoi" Naruto muttered.

"Yeah right like-" Anko started but was cut off when a sheath Katana appeared in Naruto's and he stared at her hotly.

"Don't get so cocky." he stated before he looked over at Yugito, who nodded and they both disappeared.

A second later, Anko and Yamato were barely able to see a blur or the crescent slashes that appeared around all of the thugs and bandits but as quickly as they appeared it was all over.

They both appeared and were standing in front of Aoi and Naruto flicked the blade slowly sheathed the blade halfway before slamming the rest of it in, and to everyone's amazement, shock, and horror all of the bandits seemed to fall to the ground as their bodies sprayed out blood and either fell to the deck or into the water, the blood and bodies covering the footprints embedded in the floorboards. Naruto caught his breath and simply walked to the door while Yugito walked towards Aoi.

"Who the hell are you two?" Aoi yelled, still in shock from seeing all the bandits get killed at the same time...by two brats.

"Naruto can I borrow a sword for a second?" Yugito asked.

"Hello." Aoi yelled again not liking to be ignored.

Naruto sighed as he unsealed a broadsword and tossed it to the Nibi container who caught it with ease and gave it a few practice swings and settling in a stance, not even sparing Aoi a glance. "Just make sure you don't break this like you did the last three. Though not even I can break that one."

"Hellooo" Aoi yelled again starting to get pissed.

"Oh come on are you going to hang that over my head. I said I was sorry and Ichigo's are grew back. See no one lost."

"Silly bitch do you not know who the fuck I am Aoi ROKUSHO BITCH!" he roared charging the blond girl think of a quick kill, only to intercept the blade with her not budging her position.

"Aoi Rokusho an A-ranked Jonin level Leaf Missing-nin, and holder of the Nidaime Hokage's legendary sword the Raijin." Yugito said with a bored look while Aoi smirked who was shrugging to get the upper hand in this struggle between swordsmen.

"Quite impressive girl that you know who I am. It's rare for a Genin from Konoha to even remotely know my name. Now if you're smart you'll get out of my way so I can kill the old man." He said trying to push Yugito back but the blonde wouldn't move or budge.

"Not going to happen. But if it's a fight you want then so be it, but a fair warning. I'll spare your life if you hand over the Raijin."

"Never! With this blade I'm invincible!" he spoke pumping more chakra into the blade making it start to crackle with electricity "Well then lets see what you got?" he said with Yugito smirking.

"Gladly." Was all she said as she broke the struggle and the fight was on.

"Naruto! We have to help her she won't be able to beat him" Yamato said landing next to the boy while Anko was getting ready to jump in.

"Do not worry about her. Yugi-nee is a big girl and can take care of herself." he said while knocking on the door not looking at either of them "Trust me she is very skilled with the blade". After a few more knocks the door was opened by Kurenai, and behind her was a relieved old man.

"Tsunami! The reinforcements are here!" the man had turned and yelled over his shoulder, and allowed the Leaf-nins into his house not noticing the dead bandits on his porch.

"I'm glad you're here. Come we need your assistance." Kurenai said with urgency in her voice. The two Jonin reluctantly followed, not before glancing back at the stalemate and after Naruto yelled " If he's not dead in 60 seconds I'm taking the Rajin." and he closed the door to check the injured.

Aoi made the first move by trying to take a swipe at Yugito's mid section only for it to blocked then followed with a stab. The nuke nin dodged it and tried to slash at the blonds feet. But Yugito jumped over it and sent a downward slash which was also blocked. They kept trading blow for blow while Anko, Yamato, and Kurenai were watching from the window with awe.

Aoi was surprised at how strong this bitch was. He would say the blond was at Jounin level with ANBU level charka and that was something that he has never seen before but that didn't mean the girl was stronger since he had the Raijin blade and that would surly help him win..Right?

Right?

Yugito sent a side swipe which Aoi saw coming and blocked it with his own and used his opponents sword to glide down and try to slice the girl from top to bottom but Yugito was no fool. She jumped over Aoi and took a swipe at the Missing ninja from Konoha only to see him disappear in a puff of smoke.

Earth release: Earth dragon bullet" Aoi shouted as a mass of Earth stood up and took the form of a dragon that proceeded to shoot earth spikes at Yugito who just smirked. Yugito held her blade behind her back and focused her power into the blade. When she felt that it was ready and saw that the projectiles were about to blow threw her, Yugito announced his next move.

"Uzumaki Kenjutsu Art: Blade beam" she shouted as he sent a foreword slash threw thin air. As that happened great wind's picked up as a mass of an visible slash seemed to appear and tore right threw the earth spikes and hit Aoi dead on and sent him flying backwards and landing on his ass. He then heard what sounded like crackling lightning. He look to see Yugito holding a dark blue blade made of…Lightning? As she ran towards him with the strange blade he heard her say "Lightning Style: Ixion's Horn"

Aoi stood up and tried to prepare to use a substitution until he noticed that he couldn't mold any of his chakra. He then looked down and saw that his legs were being held by a shadow clone. He then looked at Yugito who was very close to him now. Time seemed to slow down as Yugito saw that his lips moved and even though it was the heat of battle, she knew what he was saying

"Good job kid. You beat me fair and square. It was an honor." he then saw the man smile which Yugito returned and mouthed six words.

"Thank you, May you soul Rest."

Time then resumed as Yugito slammed her attack right through Aoi's heart, killing him instantly and painless. After all that was done, Yugito removed the sword from the man's heart and cut off his head as proof of her kill. Meanwhile the others that were in the house were shocked beyond reasoning.

Yamato, Kurenai, and Anko looked like they were proud of the way she fought and killed the man with her honor still intact.

Hinata, Shino, and Akamaru looked at Yugito like she was one of the greatest being on the planet.

Tazuna looked at Yugito with respect and was glad to see that the girl was willing to kill someone just to protect him.

Kakashi, Sai and Kiba was still knocked out from the earlier encounter so he didn't see.

Naruto just smirked while checking Kakashi's wounds before muttering "Told ya"

Sakura and Sasuke however had two completely different reactions, Fear and Rage. Sakura looked at Yugito like she was a true demon like her mother made her out to be.(Sakura's mother does not know about Nibi, but she thinks they are all demons) She saw the way she fought and saw that there was plenty of other ways to defeat the man without taking his life like knocking him unconscious or taking out his arms anything, now she felt that the only way for her to feel safe was to help Sasuke defeat the blonde whore and she will start by learning everything there is to know about Yugito Uzumaki...through her puppy.

Sasuke however was completely and utterly pissed. Why? Because this blonde haired bitch from some unknown loser clan was levels beyond him in power, Power that he felt was rightfully his. It was bad enough that the dobe had surpassed him in power, but now his whore of a sister has too.

'How dare you hold back on me you two. I'm the one who should wield such power not either of you you. I'm an Uchiha, an Elite, an Avenger. I will learn your secrets Naruto and Yugito, One way or another I will learn them.' Thought the Uchiha as he watched Yugito dig through the mans belongings.

As it turns out Aoi had about 200,000 ryo and a couple of scrolls on Jutsu and sealing scrolls which she'll open later but now the question to her was what to do with the Raijin.

'Well the victor goes the spoil.' she thought before she picked the sword up and walked into the house. 'Maybe I'll just gamble the money away'

The blond woman sneezed, cursing this apparent cold that had been plaguing her for well over a week now, only to look up in alarm as the slot reels landed on triple sevens, coins spraying out of the machine, littering at her feet as her apprentice began scooping up as much as she could.

"HIEEE!" the medic cheered, racing back and forth between the counter as she went "If you keep this streak up we're likely to pay off half your debts within the week Tsunade-sama!"

"Baka! Don't just scoop it up Shizune!" Tsunade yelled, cursing as she tried to make her way through he crowd, who'd swooped in to congratulate her and sneak off with some of the earnings. 'This is seriously bad! If I don't get out of here soon-!'

Her elbow caught some doddering old fart with a walker in the spine as he hobbled past, earning a yelp as he straightened up, only to blink and rub his back in wonder.

"I...I can walk!" he cheered, tears running down his aged face as he began to kick his heels for joy "I can move again! I feel like I'm thirty!"

Tsunade rolled her eyes, only to blink as she was suddenly beset upon by a horde of old fogies that were offering her their life's savings in exchange for her 'miracle treatment'.

"Yo Tsunade-san."

Hearing her name caught her attention so she turned her head and stared over at an orange and dark red toad sitting on top of a slot machine, his front feet resting on an envelope with her name on it in Jaraiya's surprisingly neat handwriting.

"What does he want?" Tsunade asked, and the toad shrugged his amphibian shoulders as he said "Don't know ma'am but boy was he upset about something. Kept ranting about killing the old monkey and gutting the council with wooden spoons and that mess" he said surprising both woman.

'Probably got banned out of the hot springs again' she thought with a irritated sigh as she took the the letter as the toad disappeared in a puff of smoke, not wanting to witness the same type of reaction again.

She opened the letter as as she continued to read, her eyes got wider as well as her face got paler.

Tsunade dropped the letter and shouted, "WHAT!" that could be heard around the world.

Konoha

"WHAT!"

The Hokage fell out of his chair when the scream echoed through his office, "It feels as if someone just walked over my grave" he shivered.

Wave Country/Tazuna's House

"WHAT!"

"Anko did you hear something?" Kurenai asked.

"Yes...I wonder what it was?" Anko wondered.

Rice Country

"WHAT!"

"Did Kabuto find out that Orochimaru-sama was straight?" a raven-haired kunochi asked a red-haired kunochi.

"The Snake-ass bandit straight? Don't make me fucking laugh." the red-head replied.

Kiri

"WHAT!"

"Hmm...looks like someone found out something interesting." a red headed woman mused.

Amegakure

"WHAT!"

"What?" Kakuzu asked.

"Did you say something?" Zetsu asked.

"No, HIDAN STOP STABBING YOURSELF YOU'RE GETTING BLOOD ON THE NEW CARPET!" Kakuzu yelled at his partner.

"FUCK YOU!" Hidan yelled back.

"Idiots." Pein sighed.

Somewhere in the Fire Country Capital

"WHAT!"

"Uh-oh" Aerith said in a sing song voice.

"Looks like shit is about to hit the fan" Cloud smirked before going into a fit of laughter.

I'll keep this short...I'm Back
