The Spartan

Here the next chapter and sorry for the long wait!

---

Everybody face went ghostly pale and their mouth hung wide open, seeing the beast that not sixteen years before had tried to rip their village apart.

"What the hell did you do," yelled a historical Jiraiya shaking his fist at the two men.

Itachi ignoring him and looked to his partner, "Kisame we need the woman and kids. Without them we're dead," he ordered getting the Konoha ninja to look over at the woman who was checking the three girls in her arms.

The shark man nodded and quickly moved to go and grab them.

High above them Kyuubi eyes widened and for a moment flashed blue. "Get away from them," it yelled out in a booming voice catching the Konoha ninja off guard. The fox tail then shot out from the portal and swung out at the man.

Kisame looked just in time to see it "Damn!" he yelled before being smack straight into the Hokage monument with enough force to make him bounces off it like rubber ball.

Kyuubi burst in to smoke and Naruto came falling down, landing a few yards away from Itachi and without skipping a beat charged forward with his sword and shield ready to kill him.

Itachi having no time to grab the woman and kids, pulled his sword out and got ready to battle again.

"Lord Hokage! What do we do?" spoke one of the anbu.

She looked over to Jiraiya, both had the same thoughts going through their heads, "Move everyone back!" The first priority is the safety of any civilians caught out here. Once they're safe we will regroup and plane on how to deal with this!" she ordered, they nodded and quickly moved out to help people escape the area.

Naruto zig zagged dodging a spray of small fire balls from Itachi. Getting in close the blond took a swipe with his short sword to the man midsection trying to cut him in half. Itachileap back throwing a folly of shrunken at him. Naruto raised his shield and deflected the blade easily. Naruto then moved in again staying close to the man not letting him get to far away from him.

Itachi knew he couldn't keep fighting like this with the blond. Changing his sharingan to his Mangekyou sharingan, he then locked swords with him and looked into the blond eyes and casts tsukuyomi on him. However, the blond was untruly unaffected by the genjutsu. "How," he spoke with disbelief never having that happen to him before.

Naruto smirked "Kyuubi told me all about your eyes. So I went and found special armor to counter act your ability," he answered with a smirk. It was true after one day of training with Kyuubi. He found that his bronze arm couldn't handle ninjutsuattacks; he knew he needed armor that could stop or at least weaken some of these attacks. So being in the underworld, he went to The River of Styx and to the nymphs and got magical armor and weapons from them.

Naruto push his sword's down on the now very weary man, "So don't bother trying anything sneaky as it won't work," he kicked the Uchiha in the gut and sending him cart wheeling back into a wall.

In the role, Itachi quickly formed a hand seal and vanished in a plume of smoke just as he hit the wall. Hiding in the shadow, trying to think of a way to bring the blond down or get away. "With that helmet on I can use genjutsu and that shield and other part of armor my attacks aren't very effective. 'I need to remove them somehow or get around them, but there aren't too many openings and he guards them well. He thought watch the angry blond as he looked around.

"All I need is one chance, one opening!" Itachi mumbled to himself moving to attack!

Naruto looked around, knowing the man was close by. Suddenly he spun around just in time to block a sword strike by Itachi. Naruto brought his shield forward hitting the man squire in the head, knocking him into the building Itachi puffed away in to smoke showing he was just a clone. Naruto frowned seeing this.

"Is this your best sneaking around in the shadows, waiting to strike me when I'm not looking?" he yelled out before bringing his fist back and this time focusing some chakra into, slamming it strait into the ground. The earth all around him broke apart and heaved up in an earthquake, ripping the building apart all around him and forcing the real Itachi out of hiding and into the open. Naruto was on the man in an instant not letting him have time to get away or think. He took a swipe with his sword aiming to cut the man in half, but Itachi managed to block his attack. Naruto then slammed him with his shield smacking him into the ground hard.

Itachi in a daze he looked up just in time to see the blond large foot coming down at his face. He quickly rolled out of the way just missing his head being smashed in. He then quickly sunshine to a roof and made several hand seals ending with tiger seal, he took a deep breath before blowing out a stream of fire that quickly took the form of a large dragon heading strait for the Naruto.

Naruto realized he was better off not getting hit by that and quickly rolling out of the way at the last second. It exploded, sending chunks of burning earth everywhere and burying the blond Spartan.

The blond Spartan pushed the burning rocks off him and looked around for the man it. Itachi soon appeared behind him and tried to grab for blonds helmet hoping to pull it off. 'If I can get his helmet off, I can knock him out with tsukuyomi,' he thought.

Naruto, however, was wise to his plan and managed to grab hold him by the arm and yanked him down and brought his own head back and head butt Itachi in the face with hid helmet, breaking Itachi nose and causing him to stagger back in pain.

Naruto then pulled himself out of the rubble and leaving his shield on the ground, move to the man and grabbed him by the throat squeezing his trachea close, causing him to gag in more pain. Naruto with great ease picked the man up off the ground and ready his sword. "This was fun, but it time to end it this," he answered getting ready run the man through. Naruto was suddenly kicked in the side forcing him dropping Itachi and sent him skidding a few yards back.

Kisame landed on the ground next to Itachi after drop kicking the blond "You OK?" he asked looking over at the badly beat up Itachi.

"No, we need to hurry up. It's only a matter of time before Konoha move in to stop this battle," he spoke.

Kisame nodded and looked back at Naruto and grinned "Alright you stand back I'll deal with him," he spoke taking Samehada off his back, the chakra eating sword hissed to life.

"No! We need to work together. Otherwise, we won't be able to take him down," the man answered fixing his nose and reading himself to fight.

The sword men waved him off. "Fine kill joy!" he spoke before focusing on Naruto. "Well come on blonde let's play."

Naruto reach down and pick up his shield and smirked "Good your back! That just means I won't have to go looking for you fish face!"

Kisame smirked before charging forward and smashing his sword into the blond shield. "Well I'm happy you feel that way. To bad for you this battle won't last long," he spoke as spark started to fly from Samehada scales ground against the blond shield as he pushed down pinning him in place.

Itachi appeared behind Naruto bring his sword forward aiming for the opening in his armor. Naruto move his body dogging the weapon by a hair. Grabbing the man by the arm and hold him in place. He smirked and looked back at Kisame. "Yeah you're right. It is too bad this won't last long." he answered push with greater force knocking the shark man back before tossing Itachi at him.

"Is that the best you can do fish face!" he taunted the mist ninja.

Kisame who had caught the Uchiha growled at the insulted and dropped the man and charged forward again.

Back with Tsunade and Jiraiya the two watched as a wave of explosion, a mix of fire and water, rip throw the village tearing up everything in their path.

'Damn it! At this rate the village will be torn apart!' thought Tsunade biting her lower lip. It was then that the elder council appeared.

"What's going on Tsunade?" spoke Hiruzen in his battle rob.

It was Jiraiya that spoke "Well, it would seem that Minato and Kushina son wasn't as dead as we all thought." the man answered.

Their eyes widen "Is he attacking the village?" question Koharu.

"No it the Akatsuki they are after him, but he isn't making it easy for them." Tsunade commented.

It was then an anbu appeared she looked back at him. "Mamma, the people are cleared and all ninja are waiting for your orders," he answered.

She nodded "Keep them back for now we'll wait until those three tire themselves out then move in." she ordered. "Now the woman and three children with her did you get her?" she asked the man nodded.

"Yes mama." he then motioned for the two anbu who had the woman and hers and Naruto children.

Tsunade walked over to her the woman who showed little fear of her. The Hokage looked at the three children then the woman. The two blonds with whisker marks on their cheeks are they yours." she ask wondering if she was the blonde's wife or something.

When she spoke in Greek they were a little surprise.

"Great!" Tsunade groaned. "The one person we can talk to. Speak a foreign language." the rubbed her temples, wondering what to do. She didn't dare have anyone touch her with the blond out there on a rampage. 'The last thing we need is him coming after us,' she thought.

"Tsunade we need to do something to stop them from wrecking the village." spoke Homura. Not liking seeing the village being destroyed.

"We have two S-rank ninja here and a jinchuuriki who has the nine tails in him, fighting it out to the death! I'm not sending people in the middle of that, at lest not yet." she spoke sternly. "We'll wait beside." she turned and watched the row of explosion get farther away, heading for the village wall. "They're heading out of the village. Our biggest concern now is to keep the public safe." she answered.

"She's right." spoke Hiruzen looking over at them "We can fix the village, but we can't fix the dead." he answered.

"What of the Kyuubi container? We can't just let him get captured." spoke Danzo.

There was an explosion and they turned and watch as a black, red, and blue figure of Kisame hurdling strait into the wall with Naruto following. "Yeah." began Jiraiya, "I'm not sure we have to worry too much about that happening." he finished scratching the back of his head.

Back with the Naruto, The blond delivered a right hook to Kisame face drilling him strait through the thick wall surrounding the village and out the other side. He then turned back to block a sword strike from Itachi. Naruto then kicked him in the gut and sent him falling back to the ground below, before he ran down the wall after him. Itachi landed on his feet, before doing several back flips just in time as the blond came crashing down right where he had been, leaving a deep crater.

"You're looking tried, maybe you should just give up and let me kill you." spoke Naruto as he stood back up and looked at the now to worn-out man.

Itachi knew the blond was right he was at his limits worse part was the blond didn't even seem winded, he needs to get out of here, 'but how the blond won't give me the slightest chance to get away,' he thought.

Naruto spun around and ducked as Kisame appeared swing his monstrous sword at him. Naruto then move in and grabbed hold of the man by the arm and flipped him over before snapping the shark man's arm in five places. The rogue mist ninja let out a groan as he rolled away and got back up, Samehada healed its master arm back to normal again.

The rogue mist ninja let out a growl. He didn't like getting his ass handed to him apishly by some smug blond. The problem was the blond hasn't used the fox chakra or chakra, so his sword can't absorb it and drain him, "Hey why don't you fight with the fox chakra and make this fight more interesting or maybe you just can handle it's power," he taunted trying to trick him to weld the demon power.

The blond look at him with amusement. "As you been experiencing, I don't need the fox power to deal with a couple of weakling like you." he answered making the sword man furious with rage.

"That's it I'm sick of this no more playing around!" the man spat "Come on Samehada." he yelled raising his sword up above his head erupting in a plume of smoke. When it cleared a Kisame and Samehada fused shark like form stood there. "Itachi!" he looked at the man

"You go ahead and get going I'll be right behind you after I cut this punks legs off and drag him back with me," he spoke.

Itachi nodded not going to argue with him and sunshine away. Naruto growled seeing the Uchiha run away. He looked back at the man now monster and frowned not intimidated in the least by him. "Bring it on Guppy," he spat at him.

Kisame gave a true shark grin "Oh I well." he formed a hand seal and let loose a torrent of water.

Everyone around watch as a massive dome of water formed taking up half the village and towering twice the height as the wall surrounding the village.

Naruto looked around in dismay at finding himself under an ocean of water in a full suit of armor. 'Great leave it to a shark man to spit out a small sea.' he thought looking around for the monster.

He appeared in front of the blond with a loud chuckle "You're not so cocky now," he spoke swimming around him.

Naruto frowned and quickly thought about how to deal with this, 'Should probably make a run for the edge of this thing." he thought 'But chances are, this attack well somehow not let me. So I'll have to fight and kill him. Not an easy task given that I at a disadvantage.' he thought. It was then he got an idea and undid his red cloak and waited for the shark man to attack.

Kisame shoots forward at the Spartan aiming to get some pay back for earlier. However, just as he reaches him the blond bolted up and over him. And he went strait into the red cloak. Naruto then sank back-down like a lead weight on top the shark man and wrap the red cloak around his head and held on.

"Dame you," the shark man yelled flaying around trying to get free.

"Naruto aim for his gills," Kyuubi told him.

Nodding the blond started punching Kisame in the gills! The shark man froze up the pain stunning him before trying much hard to get free. Naruto kept up the assault hitting him over and over again blood started felling the water around them. Naruto then let go and kicked him hard sending like a torpedo in the opposite-direction. Naruto then swam to the edge of the dome of water and managed to get a breath of air. He then tried to escape only to have Kisame grab him by the leg and pull him back and this time to the center of the dome of water.

"You're the first person ever to be able to get to the edge of my dome. But this is the last time anyone ever will." he growled. Rocketing toward Naruto and started a rampage of attacks on the blond. Hitting him and darting away before the blond could get a hold of him before coming back and doing it again and again.

"Running out air aren't you Blondie," Kisame boasted as he came in and hit the blond again.

Naruto groaned as his lungs started to burn begging for air. Fighting the urge to breathe in Naruto thought for a moment as to what to do and then another idea came to him. He quickly began to spin around as fast as he could creating a whirlpool that quickly became huge pulling everything even Kisame into it.

Everyone watched the dome of water begin to spine around and take on the form of a water spout. It spun around moving about ripping up trees and house as it went. Until finally it exploited and both Naruto and Kisame went pocking to the Hokage monument smashing into one of the tunnels where the civilians were taking refuge in.

Coughing Konohamaru got to his feet "What hit me?" he mumbled rubbing his head. His teammates Udon, Moegi, and Ebisu their jounin sensei were next to him. They had been helping to protect the people in the tunnels and bunkers when an explosion happen knocking them of their feet. "Are you guys, all right?" he asked looking at them.

But before anyone could answer the sounds of people thrashing around got them all to turn and look to find a battered and bloody Naruto with Kisame, who had transformed back to normal, by the throat and pinning him to the wall of the tunnel. They watch as Naruto took his sword and ran it through the blue man's gut.

"I'm going to gut you like fish," Naruto spat at the man as he got read to yank the blade up. But his eyes suddenly widen and he let go of his sword, turned around and reaching out just in time as Itachi appeared with his ninjato at the ready.

The Uchiha ended up stabbing Naruto through the hand, the blond Spartan palm stopping the sword at the pommel, stopping the tip of the sword just an inch away from his eye. Using chakra Itachi stuck on to the blonds back his right foot on Naruto shoulder and his left foot on his waist.

"Kisame you alright?" the Uchiha asked looking at his partner.

"Yeah I will be." the man reach for Naruto sword. However, the blond kneed him in the crutch before pulling back and slamming him harder against the wall stopping him.

Naruto then looked at Itachi his eye flashed red showing he was tapping into Kyuubi chakra. "You both are going to die here." he spoke ripping his hand free of the sword before quickly grabbing Itachi hand and redirecting the man sword at Kisame stabbing him through the head.

His arm fell limp at his side and he slumped dead.

Naruto then head butted Itachi back through the hole in the tunnel made by him and Kisame. And after quickly ripping his sword free of the corps Naruto chased after him.

The Ebisu walked over and looked at Kisame dead body. It quickly turned to water! 'A water clone! So where is the real one' he wondered looking around worriedly.

While Ebisu was pondering that, Udon, Moegi, and Konohamaru popping their head out the hole in the tunnel. "That was awesome." spoke Konohamaru his teammates nodding dumbly in agreement.

Naruto landed yards from where Itachi had landed the man was slowly pushing himself up. Like a predator going in for the kill, the blond moved in, his sword ready to deliver the death blow. Just as he reached him though an invisible force knocked him back in a building! It was then two new Akatsuki landed next to Itachi.

One wore a strange mask with a spiral pattern running to his right eye. The other was a man with gray eyes that had circles in circle to the pulp.

"Itachi where's Kisame?" question Pain in a calm cold tone.

Itachi spate out blood before answering, "He's." he couldn't finish as Kisame sword Samehada appeared popped up out of the ground next to them. And a very injured Kisame popped out of the swords mouth. "I'm fine barley!" he answered holding his gut that was dripping with blood. He had swatch place with a clone when Itachi appeared distracting the blond.

"It would seem the Kyuubi jinchuuriki is far more powerful, then we thought?" spoke the Tobi helping Itachi and Kisame.

"It would seem that way." Pain looked over at the hole he launched the blond through.

Naruto pulled himself out of the rubble and growled he stepped out of the building and looked at the men seeing Kisame alive. He growled as he thought he had killed the man. He soon smirked "I have to admit, you guys are proving to be a problem to kill. But that's fine just mean more fun for me!" he spoke in Greek.

Before anymore fighting could continue. Tobi sensing the Konoha ninja forces coming. "It is time for use to get going." he spoke.

"I don't think so." roared Naruto charging the men, he wasn't about to let them get away.

Pain step forward and sent a gravity blast at the blond hard. Sending him flying across the village and back into the Hokage moment. "Alright get us out of here. We can't afford to lose anyone!" he ordered turning back to them. He could see that they needed more help in bringing down the blond.

Tobi nodded and pulled himself and everyone into a portal and disappeared.

Tsunade Jiraiya and an arm of anbu appeared just after the three got away.

"They got away" spoke Tsunade looking around.

"Must them of scared them off." commented Jiraiya.

She looked at him like he was dumb. "I highly doubt we scared them off."

"I wasn't talking about us" he answered, just as Naruto landed near them.

The anbu got ready to fight him; He was cut up blood and bruised. He didn't even notice them or just didn't care, they didn't know. They watch as he spat out a mouth full blood before growling and punch a wood telephone pole snapping it in half. Everyone got very weary seeing that, even in the state he was in, he was still very strong.

"Dame it they got away!" Naruto grumbled. He staggers at this point before finally falling over.

"You overdid it Naruto." spoke Kyuubi.

Naruto smirked a little "Yeah, but it was fun." he thought passing out

"Indeed." she smiled.

Tsunade Jiraiya and everyone else stared down at the blond Spartan with a mixture of awe and fear. "Alright," Tsunadespoke, "Let's get him to the hospital." she ordered.

Many looked at her like she was crazy, "Hokage you think that is wises? He's the Kyuubi, he might attack us." spoke a ninja.

It was then Naruto mother and his and her children ran to his side. The woman looked the blond over and saying his name over trying to get him to awake up.

"First off," She looks away from the woman and to everyone there. "He is not the fox, but he does seem able to control it. Second he's the fourth son and a citizen of this village and we all will remember that understand!" She spoke coldly to them all. "Now hurry up." she ordered again, they quickly did as they were told and picked up the blond and took him to the hospital.

The next day Naruto mother sat in a chair looking out a window, the three young children sleeping soundly in the bed in the room with her. After Naruto had collapsed after his battle, the here people took him away and brought her to this strange building, where they looked her and the children over, before finally bringing them here to this room and left them. They brought food and water to them though none talk to her. She was wondering what was going to happen to them? She didn't think they had any planned to harm them, but she knew that could change very quickly.

She sighed and looked around the room was amazing with all the thing these people had, The short dark haired woman wearing dark brown and gray cloth, tried to show her how everything worked, she got the basic idea of everything.

The sounds of commotion outside her door grabbed her attention. Looking at the door, she tried to listen and watch as the shadows and yelling filled the hallway outside. She wondered what was happening, but there was little she could do to find out as they had guards outside her door keeping anyone from coming in and her form leaving.

Outside Tsunade, Jiraiya with Shuizune, Sakura and Hiruzen and a few anbu were trying, in vain, to keep a very angry and determined wheel chaired bound Kushina back, with her was six children. Two tall teenage redhead and several increasingly shorter brunettes, who were also trying hard to slow the woman down!

"Kushina please listen to reason, this isn't the best time at the moment and please let go of that anbu," spoke Hiruzen trying to get her to stop.

"Hiruzen! You of all people need to get the hell out of my way!" she yelled throwing the poor mask ninja at him.

"Mother!" spoke the male and oldest of the two redheads. "Please calm down if you push yourself too hard." he spoke getting in front of her.

"Jen take you brother and sisters and go home. Now!" she ordered him.

"No! I'm and we're not going anywhere without your mom." spoke the redhead.

The rest of her kids moved in front of her. They didn't want her to get hurt doing something stupid.

"Fine, then move out of my way. I want to see him." she yelled pushing passed. Only to be stopped again by Tsunade and Jiraiya.

"Listen." the fifth began sternly "You can't see him at the moment, but once you can I will have you brought here." Kushina gave her a death glare, thinking fast knowing if she couldn't calm the redhead down more people were going to get hurt. "He has kids!" she spoke causing the woman to stop with widen eyes.

"Where?!" she questioned turning around.

"With whom we believe to be their mother. We're not sure yet as she doesn't speak our language.' However, if you promise to not to do anything rash you can see them," she offered.

Kushina sat back in her wheelchair her hand gripping her arm rest hard. "Fine." She bitterly agreed.

Inoichi walked out of Naruto room at that moment, getting everyone attention "Were you able to get anything." Tsunade asked the man.

"Yes, but not a lot. I know how to speak their language. However, not much else as the blond and fox wouldn't let me. He also gave me a very long and detailed threat on how or anyone else touched his mother or hers and his children, would die!" He explained the last part very gravely.

"So she is his mother." Tsunade spoke thoughtfully; she noticed Kushina looked down sadly. "Alright." she looked to the other door, where Naruto's mother and children were being kept. "Let's go talk to her and find out how this all happened." She spoke headed for the door.

Kushina looked back to her kid and told them to wait out here. They protested at first, but soon agreed to stay and wait for her.

Naruto's mother watched as the door open and a small group of people came into the room the two she saw before the blond woman and long white haired man and another older man the there was a tall man with blond hair done up in a pony tail then a red headed woman done setting in a chair with wheels on it.

The blond man came up to her first and spoke to her surprise in her language. "Hello I'm Inoichi, you are Naruto mother am I right?"

"I am. Where is my son, is he alright?" she asked him.

"Yes he is fine. He looked over to the sleeping kids are they his children?" he asked.

"The twins are his, the other is mine and his father." she answered

He nodded "My leader wants to ask you a few questions now." he spoke motioning to Tsunade. She gave a nod of her head and looked to the other woman.

For the next few hours they asked her questions about how Naruto came to be in their world, finding out it was the fox that had brought him there; they were a little shocked to find that out not knowing how the fox was able to pull it off or what else it could do. She told them how the Akatsuki and brought her there and how Naruto had fought them. It was all an amazing tale to hear.

Kushina rolled over to the children and looked them over. "Who is their mother?" she spoke looking at the woman.

Inoichi translated what she said before translating back her response. She was the daughter to one office on my husband's friends. They meet during a celebration." she smiled "It's a yearly thing with many of the women in Sparta, where they would all fight trying to get him to take one of them to the celebrations. She fought off fifty other girls to get to be with him." she looked down sadly at this point "When he left, we all thought it was a miracle that she got pregnant by him and she was very happy to have his children."

"She was killed trying to protect them from those men."

Everyone looked down a little sad by this.

"What's going to happen to us?" she questioned looking to Tsunade.

"Nothing will happen to any of you. You'll have to stay here however. It's only until argument for you to stay in another place can be made." she answered.

She nodded and looked back to the children with a smile.

Tsunade soon excused herself from the room before heading into room with a viewing window to the room Naruto was in. Inside were Jiraiya and Hiruzen, Homura, and Koharu all waiting for her. "How does the seal look." she spoke, looking at Jiraiya.

The man looked at her "Well it looks fine a little weakened, but that due to over time and him tapping into the fox power, but it fine." He answered looking back at the passed out blond covered almost, head to toe with bandages. "So how is his condition? It must be pretty bad after facing down most of the Akatsuki?"

"Actually he's doing very well given his injuries." She answered sitting down and crossing her legs. "He's healing quickly, thanks to the fox. However, I'm utterly amazed given his vast amount of injuries most life-threatening.' That he was still able to keep fighting like that. Most would have been paralyzed by the pain alone, but the way he fought it didn't even look like he was even fazed at all."

They all nodded.

"What is the plan with him and his family?" asked Homura.

She looked at the three old ninjas "I plan to have them set up with a home within the village and once the blond wakes up I'll try to convince him to join the ninja ranks or at least the village." she answered.

"And if he refuses." asked Koharu.

"Then nothing I won't risk making him an enemy as I doubt we could control him."

"What about using..."

"The blond clearly showed as well as his mom that would not work. She would sacrifice herself and the children than be used as a tool to control him or as a shield!" Hiruzen told them. "It would prove fatal to try!"

"He is right. I won't allow anyone to try it. He's clearly shown that even someone of Itachi strength and skill is little match for him. I don't want to see what havoc he can bring down on a village." she answered firmly showing that it wasn't up for argument.

"What about villagers I doubt they'll do anything rash. However, they may not welcome them with open arms." Hiruzen stated.

"I know and I have spread word to everyone on the consequences of such actions." She answered she wasn't going to let what-happen with the third happen again.

"What about other village they will be sending people to investigate." spoke Koharu.

"I have increased sectary, thankful no one got hurt in the battle and though there a lot of property damages it's nothing that can't be fixed quickly." she answered looking at the blond Spartan. "All we can do now is wait and hope for the best." she finished.
