Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto just this story

Team Kakashi are returning from a C-Rank mission for Naruto it was lame a kind of mission Genin could do and yes even though he technically is a Genin he's only really one by technicality Baa-Chan should just promote him he's easily Chūnin or maybe even Jōnin level but no he has to stay at a Genin whilst all his friends are Chūnin or Jōnin Baa-Chan can be so mean.

Naruto groans "Man this sux what they hell did we have to do this mission for it's for rookies why was we requested there wasn't even any action."

Sakura sighs "Give it a rest Naruto I agree with you but complaining about it won't solve anything besides I'm glad we didn't fight unlike you I don't enjoy fighting all the time."

Naruto just rolls his eyes "Whatever Sakura-Chan it still stinks."

Sai gives them that fake smile "What's the matter dickless to boring for you."

Naruto goes to attack him before Sakura grabs hold of him "It's not worth it Naruto let it go."

Sai then speaks again "Listen to ugly she knows what she's talking about."

This time it's Naruto holding Sakura back from attacking her teammate. "Sakura-Chan ignore the freak we all know he's an emotionless arsehole who can't even talk properly kick his ass later."

Kakashi looks back and sighs After all this time and they still hate Sai I guess Yamato was right putting Sai on this team was the wrong mov... He stops his train of thought We're not alone "Guys were being watched prepare yourselves."

Naruto and Sakura pull out Kunai's whilst Sai pulls out his sword just then from all directions Oto Ninja's attack.

There heavily outnumbered there are at least 60 Ota ninjas compared to Team Kakashi. Naruto is surrounded by over 15 of them and he does some handsigns "Tajuu Kage Bunshin No Jutsu" 15 clones appear and immediately start attacking them.

Naruto looks around Kakashi is dealing with at least 20 in his case he should be fine Sai has 10 on him he looks at Sakura and she has 15 on her Sakura-Chan He starts to make his way over to her when out of nowhere he's kicked in the face and he collides with a tree it hardly stops him though but when he stands up he sees Kabuto.

Kabuto smiles "Well if it isn't Naruto-Kun what a pleasant surprise I've been ordered by Orochimaru to end you."

Naruto smirks "Like you could do that I'll kick your ass four eyes."

Kabuto pushes his glasses up "Now now Naruto-Kun no need for insults what are you five."

Naruto smirks "Well let's go then give me your best shot."

Naruto and Kabuto charge at each other and start fighting. Naruto's clones are fighting hard but they are only clones still they've taken out at least eight Oto ninja's.

Meanwhile, Sai's also doing well with his ROOT training he's stronger than the Oto nin's as is quite obvious.

Kakashi is also easily beating his 20 ninjas. Sakura is doing well also "Tsutenkyaku" She manages to catch seven Oto ninja's unaware with that move "Sakura Fubuki No Jutsu" With this technique she ends up taking out the rest of her enemies she looks over her shoulder and sees Naruto and Kabuto fighting "Naruto."

She rushes over to help but is intercepted by the Oto ninja's who have just finished the rest of Naruto's clones.

Kakashi heard Sakura's shouts and looks over his shoulder Kabuto, dammit I have to help Naruto and Sakura's not looking so good after using those attacks Sai's OK just have to finish off these idiots who do they think there messing with.

Naruto's finding it hard to beat Kabuto he's already been cut several times by Kabuto's Chakura No Meso (Chakra Scalpel)

Use me brat I'll show this prick who's boss.

Naruto doesn't answer he just nods he looks behind him Oh this sux right at the edge of a cliff crap he's smiling he planned this. Naruto starts to change as a red mist cloud starts to form around Naruto.

Kabuto stops smiling Oh no Naruto-Kun I can't let you do that Master Orochimaru gave me something just in case this happens. Kabuto rushes forward and slaps the seal on Naruto's chest Gogyō Fūin (Five Elements Seal) stopping him from transforming.

Naruto looks shocked 'Shit what did he do hey furball what did he do.'

Don't know brat I can't help you, you are on your own.

Naruto snarls 'Dammit.'

Naruto's about to attack when he's kicked in the face knocking him back right to the edge Naruto manages to stop himself from falling That was close.

Kyuubi shouts in Naruto's head Lookout

Naruto looks up just in time to see Kabuto kick him in the chest he's now on his knees he looks up and seems to look into Sakura's eyes as she looks back at him Sakura-Chan She sees Naruto get tossed off the cliff "NARUTO NO."

Kabuto smiles "Oh well poor Naruto-Kun such as shame well my job is done here, well seems I'm the last one standing bye bye."

Sakura was about to hit him with Tsutenkyaku but he vanished before she connected she then looks over the edge "NARUTO."

Kakashi and Sai rush over Kakashi sees that Sakura is crying "Sakura what happened where's Naruto."

Sakura just points over the cliff "Kabuto tossed him off the cliff after he did something to Naruto."

Kakashi sighs "Dammit come on we have to get back to inform The Hokage."

Sakura nods Sai looks over the cliff That's a long way down. He then catches up to Kakashi and Sakura but there's no talking at all.

Two hours later they arrive in Konoha and go straight to the Hokage tower. Tsunade hears the knock and informs them to come in she smiles when she sees Team Kakashi but notices there not smiling then she notices there's no Naruto "Where's the brat."

Sakura's too shocked to speak so Kakashi does well he is the leader after all "Lady Tsunade we were attacked at the end of the mission by Kabuto and 60 Oto ninja's they overwhelmed us Naruto fought against Kabuto, Sakura says he placed something over Naruto then." He sighs "I didn't see it but Sakura did Kabuto tossed Naruto over a cliff."

Tsunade is shocked No that can't be the brat he's supposed to surpass me not die "Sakura what did you see what Kabuto did to him."

Sakura nods "Yes, Milady Naruto was using that weird red cloak thing when Kabuto placed something on him and the red stuff vanished then Kabuto kept attacking Naruto knocking him closer to the edge I think he was the target all along."

Tsunade nods "I see, OK get some rest dismissed."

Team Kakashi leave the room and Tsunade opens up her draw and pulls a bottle of Sake out "Dammit Brat your not supposed to die."

Outside Team Kakashi has split up Sakura is still crying as she walks home and at first doesn't hear her name being called "Hey forehead are you deaf." Ino stops next to her and sees she's crying Ino's also with Asuma, Shikamaru and Choji Ino looks at Sakura "What's happened."

Sakura looks up "It's Naruto we were ambushed Kabuto tossed him off a cliff he's dead."

Asuma looks at his team there all shocked just then there also joined by Team 8.

Kurenai looks at Asuma "What's wrong why is Sakura crying."

Asuma sighs "Naruto and his team were ambushed by Kabuto apparently Kabuto tossed Naruto off a cliff."

Kurenai is shocked as is the rest of team 8 especially Hinata who's crying Naruto-Kun no you can't die.

Kiba looks at her and puts a hand on her shoulder. Ino is comforting Sakura she tells the others she's going to take Sakura home she doesn't wait for a reply from them she just leaves with Sakura.

Shikamaru sighs "This is troublesome for Naruto to die I can't believe it."

Hinata looks up "He's not dead not Naruto-Kun he's not dead."

Asuma sighs "Kurenai take your team home It's a shock to us all."

Meanwhile, miles away at the bottom of the cliff, Naruto is lying in water it's not deep though he's in a bad way a leg broke an arm also internal bleeding who knows.

Kyuubi shouts Naruto wake up.

Naruto slowly opens his eyes and immediately curses "Man this hurts I feel like my bodies broken."

Not quite brat how your alive is anyone's guess but you're fucked up that's for sure.

Naruto nods 'Can you heal me.'

No, whatever that bastard did to you has stopped the flow of my power I'm surprised I'm even talking to you from what I can tell you're right leg is broken as is your right arm your left shoulder is dislocated you have internal bleeding by all rights you should be dead.

Naruto smirks but then coughs up some blood 'You know me furball I'm too stubborn to die so what do I do how do I get out of here.'

Well it's obvious to get yourself up and climb that mountain.

Naruto looks up 'Kind of hurt like hell here furball how am I expected to climb up a cliff on one leg and a shoulder that's dislocated.'

Not my problem but if you die I die sucks for you because I'll just return in a few years but you'll still be dead.

Naruto curses 'Damn you furball.' Naruto tries to sit up and manages it but cries out in pain "Damn this hurts." He then lifts up his t-shirt "That doesn't look good." As soon as he says that he coughs up more blood "Hell no I am not going out like this."

Naruto looks around and manages to crawl over to the cliff and somehow pulls himself up "OK step 1 completed now for the hard part man I can't even see the top how far did I fall oh well I can't hang around I have to get back." Naruto reaches up with his dislocated shoulder "Shit that hurts."

Naruto then starts to slowly make his way up the cliff but because of his injuries it will be slow going I hope Sakura-Chan's OK if those bastards hurt her I'll kill them.

Big words brat get your ass up there.

Naruto scoffs 'Shut it furball I'm going as fast as I can as you can see I'm not exactly in perfect condition.'

Several hours later and Naruto's still climbing up but it's getting dark he won't be able to keep up for much longer. Hey, brat there's a ledge above you looks like you can rest there for the night.

Naruto nods 'What time frame are we looking at injury wise.'

I'd say three days tops any longer and your dead.

Naruto finally reaches the ledge and sits down 'Man that sucks.'
