-flashback-

"Hebi-Nee-chan!" yelled a young blonde boy, who would have been no more then 6 years old. running to woulds a girl who was in her middle to late teens. who wore her purple hair up in a spiked bun, long coat and mesh shirt and short orange mini skirt. her once small smile grew wide at the sight of the young boy running towards her. but it quickly turned to a frown at seeing the scared look on his face, looking behind him, and she saw a mob of civilians running after him.

"Come Ototo." she said grabbing his hand and vanishing from the spot to the roof across the street.

"Thank you, Nee-chan!" said the young Naruto as he looked to Anko with a bright smile.

"think nothing of it, Little bro." she said with the only real smile she has shown since her sensei had betrayed the village just a few years ago.

being labled as outcasts they formed a bond between them that was just as close as siblings, well for anko anyway.

"Nee-chan, Once i Become Hokage. I will make you my Wife. Believe It!" said the young boy with the most toothy grin he could make.

"Haha, by the time you become Hokage, I would be old and ugly. Naru-chan." said said with a small laugh.

"Nuh-Uh! Nee-chan will always be beautiful, and pretty, and... and... AH! Sexy!" was the child's reply which made Anko blush at the boy's behavior.

"Where did you learn that word Mister?" Anko Chimed as naruto looked down at his feet, after looking out for the kid for a year or so, Anko learned when naruto showed when he did something he was allowed to. "well?"

"I-i Looked and Inu-Nii's boy when he was sleeping." said naruto as he started to cry alittle.

"sigh- its alright Naru-chan, just dont read that book again, it is very very bad... until you are older." said Anko as she muttered the last part.

"How old?"

"Older then me."

"AAAAwwwwee!" naruto whine as he started to pout.

"cheer up kid, and i will treat you to dango and ramen." was all she got to say before naruto grabbed her hand and tried to lead her to the ramen stand before coming to a dead stop. "what's the matter Naru-chan?"

"Nee-chan... we are still on the roof." didnt look back towards Anko.

-SMACK!-

was heard by naruto as he looked back to anko, who hand a red welt on her forehead as gave a strain smile.

"that we are Ototo, that we are."

-end past flashback but still flashback to Ribenji whispering to Anko-

"Once i Become Hokage; I will make you my Wife, Believe It" Ribenji whishpered into anko's ear as he continued. "but for now, dear nee-chan. sleeep."

"ANKO!" yelled Yugo as she rushed forward drawing her blade to strike Ribenji as he whispered a silent message into Anko's ear causing her eyes to widen as he nicked her cheek with a clawed finger.

leaving her to fall to her knees in shock, as Ribenji to clash blades with Yugo. as the went to the forest floor, with Hana fallowing after them to help her friend. leaving Kurenia to jump beside Anko.

"Anko, are you hurt?"

"It's him, Nai-chan...it's him." said the still stunned Anko, who had a spaced out look.

"Who, Anko. who is it?" shouted Kurenai in worry.

"It's..." was all she was able to say before blacking out from the shock.

-end all flashbacks!-

"ANKO!" shouted the frantic Kurenai as she quickly cheek for a pulse but found it to very shallow. thinking quickly she picked up her friend and to let the others know. "HANA! ANKO HAS BEEN POISONED I MUST GET HER BACK FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT!"

with that Kurenai quickly headed toward Konoha as fast as her legs could carry her.

-with Ribenji and the Ladies.-

"so close." said Ribenji as he ducked beniethe the slash from Yugao and a claw swipe from Hana. "try again little ladies."

"Damn It! Stay still so we can kill you." shouted the Inuzuka getting irrated by the masked man's behavior.

"i would stay still on one condission." said Ribenji with a flat tone which made the two stop for a momment.

"and what would that be." asked the Anbu.

"a lover's kiss from the both of you. then after you both are free to kill me." that did not sit well with them.

"I refruse." was the reply of Yugao as she took notice of Ribenji's shoulders fall abit.

"I am sorry, If i insulted you, but i know of you old lover, he was a great man, one of the best swordsmen i have ever met." said Ribenji as he gave a court bow to her, which caused her to freeze just a moment.

"H-How did you know him." she asked looking at the masked man.

"I ment him little close to three years ago, during when Konoha had the Chunin Exams. but I will be Honored if you would be incline to a dual." he said as he lifting his hand to his mask and slowly taking off his helm letting his long red hair flow in the wind and covered his face. this shocked Yugao and Hana seeing that color of red hair once again after close to 20 years.

"K-Kushina-sensei?" was the question that came from both women as the seen the red hair slowly fall down showing the face of a man.

"No, I am Bankotsu Uzumaki; Leader of the Nana No Gutai, elder brother to Kushina Uzumaki, and Uncle to Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze!" said Bankotsu as he took a Nice-Guy pose, which caused the two women to sweat drop at his additude. "Oh, Come on! that was my best work."

they could not believe the man that was hunched over drawing circles in the dirt with a rain cloud above his head, the childish behavoir did not say anything about being a leader or even being mature enough to be called the older brother to their sensei.

"How old are you?" asked the Inuzuka as she looked at the man how looked no older then 25 years of age.

"I am 45 years." said bankotsu with a straight face as he took in the looks from the two.

"but you look..."

"to be in my mid 20s? its a rare blood line in the uzumaki that allow us to age slower then normal... i being the best example, since normally one would look to be in their late 20s or mid 30s."

"Bullshit." said hana as she could smell the lies the seemed to roll off of bankotsu.

"damn it, Yuki was right i do suck at acting. -sigh- fine, but first lets do a little one on one, then if you win i will answer all questions and such, but if i win i will get one favor... from the both of you, sound good?" he asked with wide smile. "Oh and I bankotsu uzumaki give you my word that i will not try anything that would hurt you."

"why should we believe you?" asked yugao.

"tell me. if an Uzumaki gives his/her word. what happens?"

"they will uphold it til the end." said hana with out even thinking about it.

"And i have given my word as an Uzumaki."

"fine, Who first?" asked Hana looking to her friend.

"how about Puppy-chan?" asked Bankotsu with a wink and air kiss motion with his lips.

blushing at his forwardness, the shinobi side of her was telling her to take the bastard down with out mercy, the Animal part of her was telling her to take him as a mate; with her own internal battle going on, she did take notice of him sealing his cannon arm leaving the clawed gaunlets.

"taijutsu, Puppy-chan. now Ladies first." taking a intercepting form, while doing the come here motion, with a wink. "do not hold back Puppy-chan, i dont want to win with being called unfair, so use the nin-dogs."

"Grrr, boys!" she called the three Haimaru brothers. "FANG OVER FANG; TIMES TWO!"

with four spinning drill attacks coming from the front, the back, and both sides; Bankotsu see them slowly spinning in mid-air, as he move forward and took the Haimaru brothers out first, as the nin-dogs hit the ground after being hit in the neck, knocking them out.

Hana came to a stop as she seen him just blur out of slight, only to see a moment later the Haimaru brothers hitting the ground where Bankotsu once stood.

"Bastard!" she growled out, only to feel gloved hands on her wrists.

"you move fast, for a normal shinobi... lets see if you can handle my turbo spin." said bankotsu as he brought his hand up to her chest along with her wrists. at first it was a slow spin that began to build up speeds until it matched her tunnel fang. then it started to build up even more speed until she and Bankotsu were lifting high into the air.

"Uzumaki style; Rakka No Sora! (falling skies)" he said as he force himself and Hana into a flip sending them head first into the ground below.

"uugh." gunted Hana as she slowly to pick herself up, only to feel the hand of her enemy on her neck, looking up, with brown eyes meeting yellow, she felt the grip on her neck lose, to shift the grip to her chin, she blushed thinking her was going to do what she thought he was going to, only to be slightly disappointed when he kissed her forehead.

"you fought well puppy-chan, but please remember this lesson, I know your brother did not. Dattabayo." Bankotsu whispered into her ear as his clawed hand nicked her neck sending in a nerotoxin like he did with anko.

"Naru...kun?" was all she ask as she looked at the mans face closely only to see that if she change the eye color and added the whisker markings it would be the little boy she use to watch over growing up. her answer was a small smile, and even smaller nod when the blackness took hold of her.

setting her down by as tree he barely had time to douge a kunai aimed at his head.

"Woah! watch it you almosted hit Puppy-chan." said Bankotsu as he looked back at the kunai seeing that it held a few red hairs against the tree, causing his shoulders to sag. "I really should get a haircut."

looking back to Yugao who was up in the tree looking down at him with her sword drawn and ready to fight.

"I take it you wanna go all out?" he asked only to get a nod. "fine, but first i must ask you something."

"and that is?" asked Yugao looking down at the man infront of her.

"well you see i have three blades, and i just want to know which you want to try." he said as he showed the two blades on his hips and the one on his arm.

"which do you use the most."

"-sigh- damn i used them all but each is different, you see the one on my left hip, while it may look like a thin and narrow blade, it actually uses my chakra to widen to the size of a large Zanbato, my Hadoken(actual translate: wave blade, but my translate: Wide Fan Blade); a blade which uses my fire chakra to make it such a wide blade. my one on my right is different, while it may look the same now, it actual transforms into a staff but it has two forms to it, the first is a scythe and the other is a drill like lance, which is i named it; Soren(spear scythe); while the scythe uses wind chakra, the lance part uses lightning chakra." he said showing the two hip weapons. but raised his left arm to that shot a small double edge wide blade. "this on the other hand is Hanketsuken(judgement sword), the only blade that i have that uses all three of my Elemental chakra, which i have Lightning, wind, and fire base chakra types."

seeing the wicked wicked looking blade that rose up from the his wide gaunlet, yugao could not help but feel giddy by the prospect of up coming duel, this behavior was due to her sensei's teaching. but these blades he could use, the possiblities; a wide chakra energy blade, a chakra energy scythe, or even the elemental arm blade.

"so which will you pick?" he asked.

"all of them." was the cold reply as a wicked smile graced her stonic face.

"Very well, SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" said bankotsu as two other clones puffed into existince, tossing the two clone his hip weapons, as they too a few practice swings with the blades.

clone1 swung the Hadoken a few times which Yugao could see the red flames turn blue, while the blade grew in size from the 20 inchs long and 10 inches wide to 40 inches long and 15 inches wide.

"yeah, that should be good enough." said clone1 wide a smirk much like the orignal.

clone2 swung the Soren, but seeing the weapon change from a scythe to a lance was amazing to see, the wind blade from the scythe was a ghostly blue. but with it changed into the lance, she was truly amazed to see the drill like lance that when it was thrusted forward it made a lightning based drill that would tare through anything. which it did when the clone stabbed the lance into the boulder which turned to grevale.

but when she saw bankotsu swing his arm blade as she saw the three elements combine into a destructive force. the speed in which he shifted between the three types of elements and kenjutsu styles was truly a work of art.

from the forms he was practicing she could tell it just like watching her sensei practice her forms all over again. (from here i be refer to the clone as the weapons Hadoken and Soren. while using Bankotsu for the orignal.)

"Now, that i am all limbered up, let go wild." was all the warring she got as she ducked a stabbing from Hadoken, dodged a jab form lance part of Soren, and blocked the vertical slash from Bonkotsu. "Impressive... you would have been split in two if you hadnt blocked that one."

Yugao said nothing as she was struggeling to hold her ground agains the man infront of her. which was no easy feat since he was using his whole arm for the attack while she used only her hands and wrists, and those were being over powered by him.

"now lets see if you can truly keep up." he said as he blurred out of slight, which only gave Yugao only a few split seconds to block, dodge, and/or duck the continious attacks from three weapons. "dip, dodge, duck, dive, and dodge. little neko-chan!"

this brought back of a memory of when she was guarding Naruto when he was 5, his favorite game... Dodgeball.

-flashback-

"Come on, Neko-nee. i wanna play and get better at the game." whine the 5 year old boy.

"why do you want to play that game everytime?" asked Yugao with a small smile behind her mask knowing that answer already.

"Because i wanna be better then Sasuke-teme, and it will help me become a better ninja!" cheered the younge boy with a wide toothy grin.

"haha, and pray tell, who would it help be a better ninja?"

"it will help dodging Jutsus and weapons that the bad guys use against you. of course!" the smile was innocent but also the statement had merit.

"very well Naruto-kun." she said with a smile as she picked up the five of red rubber balls. "Naruto-kun, i what i am going to teach you will help you in the long run ok?"

"HAI!" said the young boy with eyes the sparkelled bright as the bluest sea.

"good." she said in a tone the sent a shiver of fear down his back. as she perpared to throw the balls at naruto. "Now there are Five D's to always remember, naruto-kun."

"DIP" she thrown the ball a little to fast as it hit naruto's shoulder and spun him around a few times, just enough so that when he got his barrings he seen her get ready to do so again.

"DODGE!" this time the ball got him in the chest knocking the air out of him, after regaining his lost breath. he seein the next ball coming.

"DUCK!" being in ducking position didnt soften the blow done by the ball, as it hit the one place where no man should ever be hit. with a gasp naruto held the wounded goods, when he landed to see the fourth ball coming toward his feet.

"DIVE!" being pain for the last ball, slowed his reaction time as the ball, hit his right leg and spun him around in a spinning top like fashion while he was seeing stars he could hear her last comand.

"DODGE!" being disoriented didnt help his sence of judgement as he took the last ball to the face.

"Neko-chan is a little to rough at this game." said the completely disoriented blonde child.

-end of flashback-

every single one of his attacks were done so that she would have to fallow the 5D's from the three weapon users, but what happend next caught her by surpise as she was able to put the three of them into a blocking position with a smirk she couldnt help but show them which was also returned much to confusion, until she heard the soft humming that grew intence until it was blarring behind her. slowly turning her head she saw Bankotsu standing behind her with his cannon arm pointed to back of her head.

"You cheated." she said in disappointment.

"im a Shinobi, not a Samurai. there is no honor in battle just what the end result that truly matters." said bankotsu with a cocky smirk.

bring up the last moment yugao had with naruto, before he was assigned to team 7.

-Flashback- (last one)

"Nekko-Nee! I did it, i finally did it!" yelled naruto as displayed his headband proudly on his head.

"Excellent, Naruto-kun!" said Yugao with joy as she couldnt be more proud in the boy before her.

"Lets spar!" said the cheerful naruto as took off to the training field that Naruto used growing up, with his sister figures, Hebi-chan, Nai-chan, Puppy-chan, and Neko-chan. "come on i only have an hour before my sensei shows up."

"Ok naruto-kun." she said fallowing the blonde boy.

-traing field.-

after beating naruto in sparring match a few time she could help but giggle at the pouting look he had on his face.

"Redo!"

"fine, Naruto-kun. but this is the last one ok?" resceving a nod from the boy, she got into a stand with a kunai in hand much like the boy infront of her did.

after a few swing with the blades naruto and yugao where in a deadlock with their blade blocking the other.

"looks like a draw uh, Neko-nee-chan?" said the young boy with a grin.

"I dont thinks so naruto-kun." said a voice from behind him as he turned to look only to see the one he was fighting was a shadowclone while the real yugao had her Kunai at the base at the back of his head.

"You cheated!"

"Naruto-kun, we are shinobi, we are not Samurai. there is no Honor in battle just the end result that truly matter to shinobi." said yugao as she withdrew her kunai as put it back in the pouch on her hip.

"Still say you cheated." was all he said with a pout earning a small giggle form Yugao.

-end flashback-

"Naruto-kun?" she asked looking to the red hair man with some hope in her eyes.

"more or less." said Bankotsu with a shrugg of his shoulders, only to be tackled by the now crying Anbu captian, who was now hugging herself into his chest. to which he hugged back letting the grown woman let out the pent up emotions out.

"N-naruto-kun, your alive. that means you can come back to the village." said Yugao with hope and joy in her voice. but noticed the look on his face that said otherwise.

"I am sorry, Neko-chan. but i can not and will not go back to a village that would damn my existence just so they could use myself as a damn weapon." said Bankotsu as he glared at the ground not looking up at yugao to see her flinch. "Neko-chan, i want you to kept me being alive secret, give Baa-chan this message. 'a promise of a kage is above all else a promise of a live time.' she will know what that means."

"but, what did you do that the others? they treated you like a brother!" she yelled back remembering what he did to them.

"simple just a nuero toxic tranquizer, it will be out of their system in a week." he said seeing yugao face fault to the ground.

"and you think poisoning them was not going to far!?" she demanded only to see the sheepish smile on his face much like how he had when he was younger after a payback prank, which lead her to ask in a deadpan tone. "this is payback isnt it?"

"huh-uh." was her reply causing her to facepalm, which resulted in cracking her mask just a bit. "hey, come on. Anko-nee, deserved it after she threw that damn Kunai at me during the Chunin exams, and Puppy-chan deserved hers after i was dumped in bitch piss and being chased by haimaru brothers, while she laughed her ass off."

"oh, yeah forgot about that one. but what about Nai-chan?" she looked him.

"i didnt do anything to her. after all some one had to drag those two back to teh village, and since Nai-chan took anko, that would leave you with Puppy-chan." he said as his clone gave his weapons back and he placed his helm on. "but i must be going, after all i got a country and village to run."

"take care of yourself, naruto-kun." she said as she watched him float up into the air but before he took off he turned to her.

"remember to inform Baa-chan of my message, and remember all those that still have the TRUE Will Of Fire. have them come to Uzuteikoku. and farewell Neko-chan." he said blasting off into direction of his homeland.
