Hello! This is your humble servant, TheShadowFox66! Thank you all for the excellent feedback and encouragement. I know my chapters a bit on the short side, but they will get longer. In the mean time, I'm trying to make a few decisions that are going to be coming up so I need yall's help with some things. First, should I have a FemHaku or not? Second, if I do have a FemHaku, should she die or live? I could really go either way with these two issues, so I guess I get to appeal to the masses! Poll will be on my profile. Any way, here is the latest chapter. Keep those reviews coming.

As Kira was picking up our favorite blonde loudmouth, Saratobi Sasuke was almost literally crapping himself. Never in his life had the aging Hokage seen such a display of raw power. He proceeded to press a button on his desk.

"Yes, Hokage-sama?"

"Please send me Anbu Squad 7. I have a special assignment for them."

"Yes sir."

Tomorrow was sure to be interesting.

As Kira neared the Tower, she sensed four high jonin chakra levels approaching her at high speeds. 'Great. Exactly what I need, more casualties.' She thought as she found somewhere to place her host. She promptly entered her tiajutsu stance, the likes of which no one in Kohona had ever encountered. She stood legs slightly wider than shoulder length, bent slightly at the knees and ankles. Her pinky and ring fingers closed as if she was making a fist, index and middle fingers extended and thumb cocked. Left arm curled to her chest, right arm extended in a downward angle, precisely 45 degrees bellow parallel. At that point, all for of her masked threats.

"We have been ordered to place you under our custody and take you in for questioning. You have not been seen at any of our checkpoints nor at our gates, thus you must have infiltrated in some way shape or form and are therefore considered a security threat. Come peacefully or be taken by force."

"You can try." Was all that the redhead said.

'You had your chance' a young Hatake Kakashi thought as he prepared for the battle at hand. Using his Sharingan, he selected a justu that he was positive to render his opponent virtually useless. How wrong he was. Flashing through a set of twelve hand seals he exclaimed, "Art Of Sealing: Chakra Destabilization!"

"Chakra Sealing Technique?" Kira questioned.

"Exactly. This jutsu renders all other jutsu useless until said jutsu is released." Kakashi stated rather smugly.

"Glad I had no intention of using any then." The redhead replied with a malicious glint in her eyes that made a chill travel up the young Anbu Captain's spine. This would be the battle that would lead to Kakashi's early retirement from the Anbu and the naming of Uchiha Itachi as his successor.

Each of the four Anbu decided to surround the young vixen, electing that no mater how skilled or talented she was, even with her extra furry appendages, which the failed to count, there was no possible way to dodge or block from four different, especially against four high level fighters, two of which having the Sharingan. Simultaneously, all four charged in with a synchronization that came from years of combat at each others side. The Captain went for a knee level scythe kick, one of the others went for a standard head kick. Another went for a punch to the ribs, while the final Anbu went for an axe kick aimed to split her vertically. Kira proceeded to intercept the scythe kick by stomping the captains shin bones into oblivion. She caught the head kick and slammed the off balance Anbu into its poor counterpart, there by nullifying the threat posed by each combatant. Her next move was simply side step the falling Shinobi. Before the Anbu could recover, the redhead hit him right in the face, shattering his porcelain mask, revealing one Uchiha Itachi. Each settled into their basic stance. Each sizing up their opponent. "Why are you here?" the young Uchiha asked.

"I am going to the Hokage. I have a rather important topic to discuss with him."

"Then we have no reason to confront you. You are headed to the exact place we planed on taking you. I apologize for Hatake-san's presentation. Her should have stated our reasons before needlessly endangering himself and his men. Would you mind checking into the Anbu headquarters when you arrive at the tower? It would save everyone a lot of paperwork and a large headache. When they ask were we are, tell them Hatake-san hurt himself and is being escorted to the hospital. The will provide roam and board for you, because of the Hokage's interest in you we have been asked to keep a close eye on you."

"Understood." Kira confirmed as she walked over to the place she had set Naruto.

"Why do you have that boy? Don't you think he's lived a hard enough life as it is?" Itachi questioned.

"I have no intention of harming him in any way, if that's what you are implying." Kira deadpanned.

"Good. He deserves a better life than fate has dealt him."

'Maybe not everyone besides Iruka, the old man in the ramen stand and his daughter are as hopeless as I thought.' Kira thought as she gathered up the blond and continued on her way to the tower.
