*Coughs violently *

Anyone still here?

…

…

Oh look! A tumbleweed!

So… I just lost my job and since this was mostly written so I figured I would put some touches on it and put it up. See who reads it.

It's not up to my usual length but this is just me saying I'm still here.

This is after a time skip the kids are all grown up and 16 while Naruto is 19, and the summons are 27. We won't be back talking to the regular Konoha gang for who knows how long.

I own didley squat. (In case you didn't have my childhood that means I own nothing.)

-7 years later-

Roars of rage rang out throughout a field as fire raged through as the trees turned to ash. Six blurred figures raced through the field as their speed and dress made them ridiculous. One a blue, another red like the fire racing behind them, brown, yellow, blue-white and a black, they all ran like hell as bickering calls came back and forth between them.

"I told you not to wake it up Nagako!" the red blur called out.

"Hey! Not my fault that thing was sensitive to cold! Its not like I was the one to hurl fireballs at her after her eye popped open." the white blur now called Nagako yelled back.

"Hey! Call me paranoid but that freaked me out. Its not like we weren't trained to react violently to threats to each other. That thing was clearly pissed at you for waking it up. It was trying to breathe fire on you!" was yelled back as a very loud and angry roar came behind them.

"Oh come on! I thought she was farther back than that!" the brown blur yelled as they all began sprinting forward away from the large beast following them.

The leader and black blur called them to attention, "Alright it looks like she's catching up, and were far enough out so that nothing we do can catch the nest in the cross fire. Time to put her down. Remember nothing lethal, just put her down, only lethal if completely necessary." Was called out as the blurs split two directions, brown, yellow, and red split right and blue, black and white went left.

"Hai hai Nii-chan!" were the yelled replies.

"Yuma! Give us a battlefield!"

"YOSH!" the brown figure said as her companions jumped away from her. Stopping she held a stance and started raising a fist as her chakra spiked. Smiling as she raised her fist she yelled out, "Doton: Battlescape!" smashing her fist down the earth was sundered. Spires rose and fell as the earth buckled under her fists might. Earthquakes held nothing on this little girl. Trees were toppled and hills were flattened ravines and fissures opened and closed when her fist met the earth.

The large creature following them was hit by and proceeded to smash through countless spikes of earth and roared in rage as the mortals that invaded her nest fought back. It was a monstrous creature. Over 100 feet long with fire red scales, wings and spikes along its back. A creature out of myth and legend. They had found what they had been looking for the past half a year.

They had found a dragon.

And now it was chasing them with every intention to bring them all to an extra crispy end.

The roar and presence alone had cemented its place as one of the top scariest things they had fought so long as they were with their brother figure. The scariest thing had brought nightmares to all of them. They had barely won/survived against that… thing.

Barreling through the spikes the massive dragon tore after the first group going after the only unmoving figure on the battlefield. More and more spikes rose to join their shattered brethren all moving at the brown haired girls will. Needless to say they were all smashed through as if they weren't there at all. Not until the dragon was about to snap her jaws around Yuma was she unceremoniously picked up by the yellow blur as they ran like hell away from the monster behind them.

"Damn she's strong!" Yuma yelled out as they ran.

Just as the massive jaws closed the red figure was by her side and retracted her arms so her fists were by her stomach and her elbows behind her. Fire blazed along her arms as she yelled out her attack. "Katon: Hellfire fists!" shooting her arms forward the flames took a darker look and shot from her hands at the dragons face. The dragon's head snapped to the side as if slapped by a physical force. Bringing her head around to the newest ant that dared attack her she roared and fire came gushing out as if pushed by a geyser.

Eyes widening the red blur shot to the side doing everything she could to run away as fast as she could from the fountain of flames that was coming at her.

"Suiton: Grand water dragon!" was yelled out as a bluish dragon like thing formed out of nowhere and headed towards the dragon flame shooting after the red figure.

"Woo… not doing that again. Thanks for the save Miliko." The red figure said with a rather large smile to the blue figure.

"Just please be careful Kyoko-chan." Miliko said with a small blush and a small smile on her face.

"Oi! If you two are done flirting with each other would you please help me out?!" yelled the yellow blur as the dragon had once again started chasing her and Yuma who was now running on her own feet.

A small figure burst to the side and with a fist reared back and nailed the dragon on the side of its head. Normally a small figure going against a larger figure would lose… badly. But this was the ninja world where even as a human they could deal out a large amount of power given by the audible CRACK that rang out while the dragon's head snapped to the side. Its momentum lost it tumbled showcasing its larger body as it was turned sideways by the force of the punch and its larger body went rolling along the ground almost crushing the black figure beneath it.

Though if anything that just showed its resilience as almost immediately it got up, roared and shot towards the black figure with vengeance clear in its eyes. Trees were uprooted and crushed underfoot of the giant flying lizard as the black figure ran for his life.

The other five figures were chasing the lizard to get to their leader as each one held him close to their hearts. After all he was their precious older brother/sensei.

'This is ridiculous! I knew it was going to be strong but not THAT resilient! To take a full blown Yang powered punch and not even be phased by the damage. Those scales are impressive. I'm just glad I managed to crack one on my hit' the black figure thought while shaking his hand out. And indeed there was a single scale cracked on the side of the dragon's head. About 5 feet below the white horn that was held on its head.

He could feel the large intake of breath before he heard it and the intense heat was very apparent. He was going to be cooked alive if he didn't move his ass. Charging his feet with Yang chakra he shot forward with a gunshot sound as he broke the sound barrier.

The flames that came from the dragon's gullet were impressive to say the least. All five girls had to shield their faces from the light of it. And they could feel the heat where they stood a good hundred feet behind the dragon's front. Stopping and bringing their arms up the girls could only hope their friend got out in time as they doubted even their nii-chan could get out of that alive without running like hell was after him. Although with that much heat and fire it would kind of look like that wouldn't it?

The roar continued for almost a minute before the dragons jaws snapped shut and they all saw her slowly turn her head around glaring murderously at the five girls standing not 50 yards behind her. Great and bright ruby eyes with slits for pupils glared at each of them. Each differently dressed girl in turn before ever so slowly they saw the great dragon turn and face them. They had to admit. It was an imposing sight. A great Dragon with scales harder than just about every kind of armor they had come across, the agility and speed to easily keep up with them, and flames hotter than any jutsu they knew easily spewing out of her mouth.

It was terrifying. Simply terrifying.

They were so excited it was funny.

A whispered shout of "Level 2" across the wind had them all grinning like the maniacs they grew up to be around their beloved and missed Mana-baa.

The Kyoko suddenly laughed and caught fire. Around her the clothing she wore burnt off with new clothing showing around her at the same time. She ended up wearing a red cloak with a large round and pointed hat all patterned red with stripes of orange and white mixing in as if her clothing was on fire. She started carrying a broomstick with a red gemstone on the end glittering madly. She was the Flame Witch after all.

Miliko had water surround her shielding her from view before the rather small amount of water settled down showing an open blue trench coat with wave patterns along the bottom. She had a long katana hilt hanging from her side and was wearing 3'' heels. Drawing the blade with both hands showed it to have a wave pattern along the blade with a blue gem softly pulsing on the end of the hilt. The Shy Queen of Tides was here.

Yuma had the ground itself clamped around her before she walked casually forward breaking its grip and casuing it to crumble to the ground. She was now wearing brown samurai armor with a large sledgehammer attached to her back. The sledgehammer was 6 feet long with a leather wrapped around the shaft and a granite crystal glowing on the bottom. Grabbing the hammer with one hand she lifted it off her back as if it was a feather. Setting the hammer down in front of her there was an audible 'thud' as it met the earth the sound proving its weight. She was the Lady of Peaks.

Mutsumi glowed yellow before the cackle of electricity could be heard. She flashed yellow before her appearance changed. She was now wearing a pair of yellow shorts and a T-shirt with two-wicked looking daggers were on her sides. The leather loops holding the hilt of the daggers as the edges looked as if merely looking at them would cut your eye. Both daggers had yellow topaz gems sparking on the ends of the handles. The Visage of Thunder had shown itself.

Nagako was briefly surrounded by a sudden blizzard showing her ice affinity. The blizzard left her standing above her sister students as she was wearing 4'' heels. She was wearing a light blue kimono with a sparkling white and blue tiara proudly displaying a diamond on her head. Her katana from her back was drawn showing a sparkling but not completely see through blade with a diamond on the hilt with a white tassel hanging from a white clothed hilt. She was known as the Heiress of the Tundra.

They were all known as the Elemental Students. Always learning something new and something interesting to the five of them as their teacher and leader The Scholar taught them.

Within seconds of the transformation each girl went through every girl broke from around each other and started circling the mighty creature at speeds that left the mighty creature's eyes narrowing. Roaring the beast rose up and jumped its back two legs forcing it into the air before leathery wings snapped open and gale force winds ripped around the area stopping the girls to take shelter and also tearing a few of the weaker trees up. Roaring again the dragon's maw opened and out spilled molten flames that looked far more solid than just regular fire. As if it was it was molten rock or metal in liquid form superheated to such a level that it stayed in its liquid form. Needless to say every girl ran like hell from the molten payload spilling around the area as more and more fire poured from the dragon.

Once far enough from the lava filled area surrounding where their target had flown off the girls stopped and stared up at the monstrous creature in size and power. Its scales harder than any armor, its speed for its size was ridiculous so you would have to have high chuunin speed just to stay away from it, its breathe was only an invitation to being burned live and the only weak spot they could find were the eyes and the fabric that made up the wings of the creature. It was truly a terrifying beast to face off against. Even if they had no agenda apart from knocking it out to run away safely without it following them back down south towards the civilian populated cities. They would be killed without blinking if they had to fight that far south. But first they had to get it to grounded. They stood no chance against it while it was in the sky.

As if answering a call the shortest figure among the group was spotted in the sky above the flying creature. No more than a speck of shadow above the beast. With their hands folded together to slam both fists into the mighty creatures back. None of them heard the call but seeing the dragon's reptilian eyes widen and its wings beat harder they knew their friend was right above the beast and had just called out his attack. Recalling just how tough their opponent was their shock was multiplied at seeing the back of their foe arch as if to get away from something. They heard the ringing gunshot sounds a second later showing just how far up they were. With a roar the dragon started to lose altitude its wings flapping trying to get back up in the air but with the synchronization of the wing beats messed up because of the damage it did more harm then good merely turning it this way and that. Seeing the arch and hearing more gunshot sounds signaled the use of more than one hit to the back as their short and precious friend hammered the beasts back. Slowly they fell as more and more roars were released from their foe in pain and rage at the tiny mortal perched on its back.

It was less than fifty feet in the air that they saw the small shadow jump off its back into the air and twist before slamming his foot one way and shooting himself in the opposite direction as if he had hit a hard surface and not air.

The sound of the beast hitting the ground sent shockwaves through the landscape toppling any leftover trees three miles out and sending lava flying everywhere.

After a minute of silence and no roars splitting the land the group of girls gathered in a clearing of the rubble looked to the sky and started looking for their friend.

Minutes after not finding anything they heard someone clear their throat behind them. Looking back in shock at being snuck up on they saw the last of the large group looking at them in a little bit of confusion.

"What took so long? Seriously I trained you way better than this to not find me after a few minutes. I wasn't even hiding!" he said staring at the sheepish looking girls.

That didn't stop them from retorting though. "OI! Its not like were made for stealth being small and have unconscious chakra concealment!" Kyoko shouted at pointing a finger at him. Her other hand was held back by a glowing red Miliko as she tried to hold her friend back.

"Well I guess then I'll just have to set up some stealth and tracking training for you all then if you have such trouble finding me hehehe." He said chuckling evilly at the end with a smirk looking at their pale faces and Kyoko's finger drooping and poor Miliko hiding and shaking behind Kyoko.

Two miles out a tall figure wearing black cloaks with red clouds patterns finished watching the group and barely withheld a shiver at what he saw. His orange swirled mask hiding his facial expressions from the world as he watched his target laugh amidst his girls. While the girls he was confident he could take he was no fool. After his skirmish with the figure in black and his trump card rendered null after barely a minute of fighting he was having a hard time believing this was all they could do.

Shivering at the amount of power he saw in each of them he decided they were far enough away that he could retreat without them knowing. He had almost been spotted by the black figure more than a few times when he was tracking them and he knew it. And while he should be able to fight most of them off he knew better than to assume anything about him and anyone associated with him. It was dangerous to assume anything about your opponents. He had after all destroyed Kakuzu along with all 5 hearts all at once when they were trying to recruit him. And it was better to not speak about what happened to Hidan. They never were able to recover the ring that had been on his finger.

"Naruto Uzumaki Senju… I have my eyes on you." Was whispered before reality seemed to bend around him swirling and sucking him into where his eyehole on his mask was. The last sight he saw was the now named Naruto looking up and his two different colored eyes staring at where he was for the last briefest of moments before he was gone.

Yo, just a segue way into what's coming next. Naruto and his girls have trained for years and now at the level they are at believe they are ready to learn the world's secrets.
