Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto… Unfortunately…(sob)…

You all already know the key, so just stick with it.

"Were almost to the next town, Ryuu, well be there in about 5 minutes." Naruto said, looking to his right slightly, towards the red head who was accompanying him on this journey to her village.

It had been two day's since they had left the hotel they had been staying in, two day's since they had last seen Lee, Kaien or Lira. Said group of ninja's had just smiled at the two, before hopping off into the distance. About an hour after that had happened, Naruto and Ryuu had left the hotel as well, after fully stocking up on their supplies.

"Good, I can't stand walking forever. But I have to deal with it, as if we jumped, we would attract to much attention to ourselves, and that might attract that red eyed bastard Itachi to come after us." Ryuu said, looking ahead, a slight smile gracing her lips. Naruto grinned at her, before nodding his agreement towards her statement. He couldn't stand walking forever, but with Ryuu here, it wasn't so bad, nope, not so bad at all.

They came over the next hill, and saw the town they were headed for down in the valley in front of them. Ryuu jumped into the air, yelling her joy, before rushing towards the town.

Or would have if not for one thing, Naruto had grabbed the back of her trench coat, causing her to stop abruptly.

Naruto started to tilt when he felt her weight pull against his arm. Apparently he had misjudged how much strength he would need to pull her back, and not topple forward at her weight. He had not used enough strength, and therefore, was sent crashing into her back, after being yanked forward, this of course, sent them both off balance… and tumbling down the hill.

Naruto just kept rolling down the hill, and as much as he didn't want to admit it, he was having fun. And judging by the laughter from somewhere near him, so was Ryuu. Naruto allowed himself to laugh slightly, which soon turned into a full-blown laugh as he increased his speed slightly.

But his laughter stooped abruptly as he and Ryuu were sent flying off a ledge, landing hard on the ground, well at least Naruto landed hard, as Ryuu was lucky enough to land on something soft.

Naruto groaned out loud, rubbing his head, eye's shut tight. His stomach was doing flip-flops from the ride, but he also felt a weight on his stomach. Opening his eyes, he blinked a few times, trying to regain his vision.

Ryuu moaned out loud, and rubbed her leg, which she had hit hard during the roll down the hill. Her head was spinning as she tried to get her bearings. She had landed on something, something soft, yet strangely firm. Opening her eyes from where they had been screwed shut tightly, she blinked a few time's trying to figure out what exactly she had landed on.

Both regained their eyesight at the same time, and looked to see what both were trying to find out. Naruto looked and saw Ryuu on top of him, looking at him with her big eyes. Ryuu turned to see Naruto under her, making her eye's widen when she realized just what it was she had landed on.

Both blinked, looking at each other.

Then… both screamed, and jumped up, looking away to stop the other from seeing there flushed faces. Naruto was fine now, as all that had happened during the roll was he hitting his head. Turning towards the village, he was about to start walking again, but was stopped by a yelp of pain and surprise from his red haired friend.

Ryuu had jumped up quickly, therefore she had completely forgotten about her injured leg, which as soon as weight was applied to it, screamed at her in protest. Yelping, Ryuu swayed forward, speeding towards the ground. She shut her eyes, and prepared for impact.

But instead she felt Naruto's Arms wrap around her, holding her up.

"Are you okay?" Naruto asked her, to which her received a nod. Smiling a bit, he looked at her again, and then his eye's darted to her leg. Looking back up at her in concern, he asked,

"Can you walk?"

"I…I think so…" Ryuu replied, looking at Naruto. Naruto nodded, and pulled away from her, before gesturing for her to follow him. He was about to turn towards the town when he heard another yell, and saw her falling…again.

So he did what his instincts told him to…He caught her, again.

They both looked at each other, staring deep into each other's eyes. Ryuu started to lean in closer, as did Naruto. They were closing in, and Ryuu closed her eyes, as did Naruto. Closer …closer…a bit closer and…

"S-class Missing-Nin Uzumaki Naruto, You are hereby placed under arrest for crimes against the Leaf village, come quietly, and you will not be harmed. Do you understand?" A voice said, causing both Naruto and Ryuu's eye's to snap open, and turn to where the source of the noise had come from. Both of their eyes's widened at what they saw.

There in front of him, where two squads of ANBU Black Op's, as well as one extra Captain, Brining the total count of captains up to three. Naruto jumped in front of Ryuu, unsheathing his blades in a quick motion. Looking at his opponents quietly, Naruto specking a light voice to Ryuu.

"Ryuu, go into the village, don't worry about me, okay, just go…no no… do not argue, go now Ryuu." Naruto said, silencing her protest. Seeing she was still a bit reluctant to leave, Naruto growled under his breath, before turning to face her.

"Go NOW!!" Naruto said, startling her. Ryuu nodded quickly, before she turned and started to hobble her way towards the town on her injured leg. The ANBU, however, were not going to allow her to escape.

"Bear, Owl, stop her." The lead captain said to two regular ANBU, who both nodded slightly, before disappearing. Naruto growled at this, as he slammed both his swords into the ground in front of him. Naruto reached up, and tore off his now 350 pound trench coat, throwing it to the side. It flew towards the ground, crashing with a BOOM, before leavening a very deep crater.

"Oh no you do NOT!!" Naruto said, grabbing his swords from the ground, before he to disappeared. The ANBU were slightly startled at this, but soon looked for the blond boy. They were saved the trouble when Naruto's voice spoke to them.

"Looking for me?" He said, making all ANBU turn to where they had heard his voice. What they saw shocked them greatly.

Naruto stood over two Motionless ANBU bodies, both of which were slowly leaking blood, but there forms were still breathing, but slightly. An ANBU from the ranks yelled in range, and charged towards the blonde boy, followed by three other ANBU to follow, Katana's drawn. The ANBU captain shouted out in shock to them, ordering them to stop, but his orders where unheard. Naruto smirked as he saw the ANBU approach him. To most Ninja, regardless of rank, they seemed to move insanely fast, but to Naruto, it was as if they were new Genin.

"Fool's." Naruto said, disappearing again. The ANBU charging him, stopped, and looked around in shock, but where unable to find the boy. One ANBU, wearing a cat mask, said something out loud.

"We…were he go?"

They looked around the area again, but still found nothing. Suddenly, all four ANBU stiffened up, and found them selves unable to move. Then, a voice was heard from inside the group, a voice that sent chills down everyone's spines.

"Looking for me?" Naruto asked them, standing in the middle of the group, his swords resting on his shoulder's. The ANBU Tried to move, but none of them could. They were frozen in their place, by something that they did not recognize. Suddenly, the cat ANBU gasped in surprise.

'No…no way… this, this felling, is it… is it his killing intent? I have felt this before, but never like this… what is he?' the cat ANBU thought, still frozen in place by the killing intent they had felt from this boy. Naruto caught the movement the ANBU in the cat mask had made, causing Naruto to chuckle.

"Ahh, so kitty cat, you figured it out, aye? Yes, this is my Killing intent, well some of it. But enough talk, lets Party." Naruto said, swinging both his swords down, disabling all four ANBU in one swipe. Naruto looked down at the fallen ANBU, before smirking. So he was certainly much stronger than when he lived in Konoha, as he had just taken down six ANBU without so much as a sweat.

Naruto's face shot up, when he felt three large Chakra signatures from behind him. Turning around, he found the three Captains had fully powered themselves up, so Naruto knew they would not underestimate him this time. Normal ANBU he could do, but Captain's, three none the less, well he didn't know if he could take them alone, but he had no choice. Plus the other ANBU who had not yet been attacked, so Naruto had to worry about them too.

"Hawk, Tiger, with me, the rest of you, gather the wounded and get lost, understood?" The lead captain said, receiving a reply of hai's from the remaining ANBU, who all just disappeared, only to reappear surrounding Naruto.

Naruto looked at them all, before he himself disappeared, reappearing in front of the three captains' in front of him. Two where wearing black cloaks, one was wearing a white one. Naruto frowned at this, as ANBU with white coats where the Best of the best of the best of the… well you get the idea. One of the black-cloaked ANBU had on a Tiger mask, the other one had on a Hawk mask. Naruto turned his attention to the leader, who was wearing a white wolf mask, and had an odd looking sword strapped to his back. Naruto felt a sense of familiarity when he looked at the Wolf… wait Wolf… the White Wolf, that's who this was… And the white wolf was…!

Naruto's eye's widened in shock when he realized just who this ANBU was. However, the Ninja in the Hawk mask saw this, and mistook it for regret on taking on three ANBU captains, so he dicided to voice his thoughts.

"Well well well, Chibi, regretting your decision to stay?" Naruto snorted when he heard this, looking up at the captains, he let his eye's wander across all of them, as he spoke.

"Hardly, just cant wait to have a good fight… just that there is someone here I didn't expect to see again… isn't that right… Kakashi?" Naruto asked, his gaze settling on the Wolf masked ANBU. Said ANBU looked down at his former student, and he smiled at him, it was even visible behind hi mask. This shocked the other ANBU Captains, seeing the Copy Nin smile at an enemy Missing Nin.

"Good job, Naruto, I see you have improved far past what level you were at when you staid in Konoha, however, I am here to bring you back." Kakashi said, taking off his mask. Naruto Smirked when he saw this, before he looked at the other Captains again, before his gaze settled back on his former teacher.

"So Naruto what will it be, will you com…" Kakashi was saying, but was cut off when Naruto laughed out loud, before settling his gaze back on Kakashi.

"I will tell you what I told Itachi's bastard friends when they captured me…"Naruto said, lifting up, and taking off the rest of his weighted clothing, manly his vest, leavening him bare chest, his scare's exposed for the ANBU to see. Kakashi gasped in shock when he saw his ex-students heavily scar covered body.

"And, what did you tell them, Hum?" Tiger asked Naruto, Who grinned back at him, before reaching into his pocket for something. Naruto stopped when he saw all the ANBU captains tense up. He sighed, and pulled out what he had wanted.

It was a solder pill, which he popped into his mouth.

"I told them…well basically, to shove their offer up their ass..." Naruto said looking up at the ANBU, he grinned at them.

"Well then lets get started." Naruto said, grinning madly at them.

All four Ninja disappeared from sight.

Ryuu watched the battle from on top of the watchtower of the town, very concerned about her blonde haired friend. He was no doubt strong, but was he strong enough to take on three captains?

"Naruto…be careful…"Ryuu whispered, looking at the blurs that appeared every once in a while out on the field.

Naruto Breathed heavily, as he had been fighting for hours now. It was now about 6:00 AM, as they had fought through out the night. Now it was down to just Naruto and Kakashi, Nether of them had drawn their swords yet.

Kakashi eyed his former student warily. Naruto was far better than he had thought he would be, and it also seemed like his fighting changed every minute. He also didn't know how good Naruto was with those swords, but he now didn't have a choice but to use the Fang.

"Oie, Kakashi, I think it is about time we take out the metal, do you agree? After all, I know that the sword on your back is the White Fang, (A/N: I don't know if that is the real name for it, so if you know tell me please, back to the story.) which you of course had repaired, so lets find out how good you really are, hum?" Naruto said, putting his hands on the hilts of his swords. Kakashi grinned darkly, and drew his sword, then put it into an upright position. Naruto grinned at him, and unsheathed his blades as well. They were about to start when Naruto reached into his pack, and pulled out what looked like soldier pills. Kakashi groaned when he saw them, as they were in fact solider pills, but Kakashi did not know that they were pill's strong enough to fully restore any Ninja with up to a Kage level Chakra capacity, and bring it back in strength.

"Kakashi, take one, it's a Mega pill, and you will see what it dose when you take it." Naruto said, throwing a pill to Kakashi, before taking the last one, and plopping it into his own Mouth, Kakashi doing the same. When they both were back at full power, Naruto looked at Kakashi, and smiled.

"Kakashi, I may be Naruto, but I am not the Naruto you knew, so stop holding back, come at me with everything you got, I will do the same… oh and put your mask back on, too!" Naruto said, looking over at Kakashi, who looked at him oddly, before complying with what Naruto had said. After securing the Mask on his face, Kakashi turned to look at Naruto, who smiled, before forming an odd hand seal. Kakashi tried to copy it only to find he couldn't.

"Surprised, Kakashi? This hand seal is the demon lion seal, so only people with Demon Lion DNA can do it, yup, that's right, I am part demon. Anyway, this is what it dose." Naruto said, before he slammed his hand onto his chest, and screaming out loud.

"Shadow Reaper!!!"

FLASHBACK

Naruto stood there panting, exited and happy. He had done it, he had managed to start the first stage of the transformation, and it had taken him 2 day's to master, which Oni-Sensei said was incredible.

"Good Naruto, now you will be able to enter the Shadow Reaper state's at anytime, and you will be in control. Be warned, it will only be about a fourth as powerful as the true form, but it is a start." Oni said, causing Naruto to smile.

END FLASHBACK

There was a bright flash, but Kakashi did not cover up his eyes. But when he saw Naruto in front of him, he was shocked at what he saw, shocked at the boy in front of him.

Naruto looked exactly like he did when he fought Itachi, but this mask was not forming the insane grin the last one had adorned. This one had a calm and cool face, which showed no emotion.

"Now lets Kakashi." Naruto said, his voice slightly deeper, before he disappeared from Kakashi sight. Kakashi eye's widened in surprise before he jumped into the air, barely dogging the swipe Naruto had sent at him.

Twisting downward, Kakashi sent a swipe at Naruto's head, only to see the blonde raise one blade to block, brining the other at a side swipe towards Kakashi's head, cutting clean through, only to see him turn into a log.

Naruto ducked, barley avoiding the Fang aimed at his head. Brining one sword up, he swiped at Kakashi's legs, only to have Kakashi jump over them, and hit one blade out of his grasp with the Fang, before landing again, and swiping at Where Naruto had been.

Naruto jumped up, barely over the attacking sword, and landed on the blade, kicking its wilder in the chin, sending him flying backwards, only to recover and charge him again. Kakashi saw an opening, and sent a clash at Naruto's midsection, and was pleased to see Naruto block by stabbing his remaining blade down, blocking Kakashi's attack. Naruto whirled up, and brought his blade up to slash Kakashi across the face, but found the sword stuck where he had stabbed it into the ground.

"Shit!" Naruto said, Ducking under a kick aimed at his head, only to find his neck level with the incoming blade of the Fang. Thinking fast, Naruto put his hands on the bottom of the hilt of his still stuck sword, and pulled himself up, pushing off the hilt of the blade to flip over Kakashi, landing beside his other blade, which Naruto promptly picked up.

"Well, Naruto, you still only have one sword…" Kakashi said, to which Naruto smiled at him, unnerving him slightly. Naruto looked back at him from behind the mask of bone, before speaking.

"One is all I need."

Naruto then disappeared, reappearing behind Kakashi, slashing at his former sensei's side, only to see the White Wolf drop to the ground in a pushup position. Naruto used the momentum of the previous attack, and swung it around, aiming at Kakashi's prone figure.

Kakashi saw the incoming attack, but only barely. He used his hands, and paused himself hard off the ground, only barely jumping the blade. Landing back in a pushup position, he saw an opportunity Naruto would not see coming. Reaching out, he grabbed the hilt of Naruto's stuck sword, and pulled himself over onto the other side of it.

Clang!!

Naruto's own blade had just saved Kakashi's life, and Kakashi swiftly slashed the Fang in an upward arc behind his back, hearing the sound of metal tearing flesh, followed by the sound of blood hitting the ground.

Smirking, Kakashi turned around to look at the student he was sure would not get up again, but was very shocked at what he saw.

Naruto had caught the blade with his hand, which was badly cut, dripping blood. Kakashi saw a flash, and jumped backwards, just barely dogging Naruto's incoming blade. Looking up, he saw Naruto looking at him, his mask not hiding his grin.

"Almost got me Kakashi." Naruto said, pulling his second blade free from the earth. Kakashi swore loudly, and got ready for the fight again, and was glad he did, as shortly after that, He jumped back a bit to doge an attack, only to trip on something, and fall backward onto his back.

Naruto smirked at his chance, and slashed at Kakashi's prone form. Kakashi pulled his legs back, and crouched, just barely dogging the blow that would have killed him. Seeing two more flashes of metal, he saw Naruto cutting with his left at his head, and his right at his waist. It was a kill move, designed to be mostly unavoidable, unless your opponent had great skills… Which Kakashi had.

Jumping up, Kakashi twisted in midair, and Watched as One blade past above him, another under him, but he didn't doge it completely, and there was proof of that, as the tip of Kakashi's nose started to bleed.

"Ohh, that was very good Kakashi. But you need to do better!" Naruto said, attacking one again, this time with two diagonal slashes, making an X. Kakashi jumped over Naruto, and landed behind him. Both Kakashi and Naruto saw it, the opening.

Kakashi quickly twirled his blade to where it was pointing behind him, and shoved it back.

Naruto twirled both blades downward, and underneath his shoulder, and then thrust them back.

SSSLLLAAASSSHHH!!!!

Both Fighter's stood there for a moment, both just trying to register what had just happened. Both Ninja knew they had hit the other, but…

Naruto looked down, and saw the Fang sticking out of his chest, where blood was also spewing out. It looked like it hit his heart, it looked like he lost.

Kakashi looked down, and saw one of Naruto's swords sticking out of the lower left part of his stomach, and the other had torn a hole in his chest, making a gape in the body outline. It looked fatal, it looked like he lost.

"Arggghhhhh." Kakashi said, falling forward, sliding painfully off the sword, only to fall onto the ground, knocked out because of blood lose. His wounds poured blood freely, turning the ground red around it.

Naruto whipped his blades, clearing them of blood, before reaching behind his back, and pulling out the still lodged Fang in his chest, and screaming in pain.

"AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Naruto screamed out, holding the gaping whole in his stomach, trying to stop the blood. Turning back to his fallen teacher, he smiled slightly, and then laid the Fang beside him.

"Thank you Kakashi." Naruto said, and turned to leave…

SLASH!!! SLASH!!!

Naruto stumbled and looked at his shoulder, seeing a large cut going down, barely missing severing his arm. Looking down again, he saw the Fang sticking out of the side of his Stomach.

RIIPPP!!!

Naruto screamed in pain as he felt the blade be ripped sideways out of his stomach. Looking behind him, He saw Kakashi, barely standing, but holding the fang. Kakashi smiled, before he fell to the ground once more, this time not moving.

Naruto gurgled, coughing up blood, and made his way towards the town. Getting there, he headed towards the one place he knew Ryuu would be. The Inn.

Walking in, he was greeted with a hushed silence, mainly because many of the people in the room were shocked at what they saw In front of them. Naruto walked a bit farther, before spotting her red hair in the crowd. Walking up to her, he looked into her horrified eye's, which were now pouring out tears.

"Ry...uu…don't…cr..y…ugghhh." Naruto said, wiping away her tear, before falling forward, and knocking them both over, and onto the floor.

"NNNNNNNAAAAAARRRRRRRUUUUUTTTTTTOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

Kakashi groaned and opened his eyes, and took in his surroundings, and noticed he was in a hospital. Looking around, he saw one person sitting in a chair in the far corner. All he could do was whisper her name.

"R…rin?"

Naruto opened his eye's slowly, blinking a few time's, getting used to the light very quickly. Looking around, he noticed he was in an Inn, but he didn't know how or why he was there. Then it hit him, he was flooded with memories of his fight, and of Ryuu seeing him like that. Naruto wondered where she was right Now.

"NARUTO!!"

Speak of the devil.

Ryuu ran forward and pulled him into a hug, holding him tight, not wanting to lose him again. Naruto was a bit shocked, but quickly returned the hug, pulling her closer. He felt dampness on his shoulders, and he knew she was crying. Pulling back to look at her, he wiped away her tears.

"Why are you crying?" Naruto asked her, Ryuu responded by throwing her arms around him again, and talking into his ears. Her voice was soft, but firm and full of concern.

"I thought I lost you, I thought you were going to die, I was scared of what would happen to you, I didn't know what to do, I didn't want you to go, don't go Naruto! Please don't go…!" Ryuu said, whispering into his ear. Naruto griped her tightly, holding her close to him, before leaning down and whispering in her ear.

"I wont leave you, okay, don't ever think I would do that." Naruto said, looking at the girl in his arms, a girl he had just meet, but who he already cared for greatly. She nodded and only cried harder, and held him tighter.

They stayed there the whole night.

Hey guys, how did you like the new chapter? R&R!! R&R!! R&R!! Or I won't update!!!
