Several years of peace have reigned in the Villages of the Shinobi as Naruto has successfully become a Jounin of Konoha. Being one of the most powerful ninja in the village, he has earned himself the name of Nine-Tail Jounin of Konoha. His presence is feared among many villages and he now has the valued existence he once wanted. His usual accomplice in missions is another Jounin Uchiha Sasuke aka Genius Ninja Sasuke. Together they have repelled attacks and diverted invasions, single handedly. They are Konoha's living weapons. Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, has sent them on countless missions, but disturbing reports show a strong presence in the South. Tsunade immediately summons Naruto and Sasuke.

Tsunade: Uzumaki Naruto... Uchiha Sasuke.... We have an A rank mission for you.

Naruto: It's been A rank ever since, Tsu-chan... Get to the scoop already, my ramen is getting cold.

Tsunade: Naruto, this is a serious task... but in your case I guess we'll have to make it an A+ rank mission.

Naruto: A plus!? Let's get it on!

Sasuke: Naruto, calm down... We still don't know what the mission is...

Tsunade: There have been reports of a powerful Shinobi reaking havok all across the southern villages. Even reports that he has even slain some of the best Jounin's of the Sand Village.

Sasuke: Hmm, he seems very good.

Naruto: The best in Sand, is saying a lot...

Tsunade: They sent in a representative to request you two, and I thought you might want to say Hi........Welcome back to Konoha Gaara.

Gaara: Ahh.... Uzumaki Naruto....

Naruto: *stern look and silence*

Gaara: Dou****e? Did you not expect to see me again?

Naruto: Hahaha! Nothing's wrong... Just been a long time.

Sasuke: Gaara.....

Gaara: Uchiha...

Naruto: Alright, what's the scoop?

Gaara: Temari.... the Wind Master Jounin of the Sand... .also... my comrade, was slain yesterday at dawn by a unknown Shinobi prowling through the night.

Tsunade: All villages have reported that their Jounins are in check, and are either guarding their village or on missions to find this Ninja.

Naruto: So... it can't be one of the villages?

Gaara: Not possible...a witness says he wears a red sash with wild brown hair... No head protector with a seal on it. He is a renegade Shinobi.

Naruto: Leave it to me and Sasuke!

Sasuke: Hmm....

Naruto and Sasuke both exit the office and walk outside. It has turned to night and they both think to each other.

Naruto: Sasuke, every village has been hit severely except ours.... you think we're next?

Sasuke: I suspect so... considering our orders were to find the Shinobi.... not to go anywhere in particular.

Naruto: We'll stake out in the village for now, and wait. Then we'll go search the roads for him.

Sasuke: Agreed....I've got Chidori ready and waiting for him.

Naruto: I've got Rasengan, set to go...

Suddenly a shadow drops from the trees and the eyes of the shadow shine from the moonlight. Naruto and Sasuke both get ready to intercept the intruder. But what comes from the shadows, is not what they were expecting.

Kakashi: Hello!

Sasuke: Kakashi-sensei!

Naruto: Hoi! What are you doing jumping out of trees late at night!

Kakashi: I'm on the same mission as both of you, except... I've been looking around other Villages, and sources say that the Lethal Shinobi is somewhere here.

Sasuke: I see..

Kakashi: I've gathered that he wears a red sash with wild brown hair and a traditional Shinobi Gi.

Sasuke: We know this already.... You're always late..

Kakashi: That's my style....

Naruto: Anyway.......

Kakashi: Right, his weapon is a Crescent Blade.

Naruto: Crescent Blade?

Kakashi: Yes, he wears it on his right arm, and it has abominable range.

Naruto: Hmm... a keep away Shinobi.

Kakashi: He is lethal from close range too.

Sasuke: I suspected as much.... a Shinobi can't rely on distance, he must be able to successfully eliminate his target from anywhere in the room.

All of a sudden the leaves begin to shake as the wind is still.

Naruto: Come out now!!

The lethal shinobi lands in front of Kakashi, as Kakashi back flips and lands next to Naruto. The shinobi comes out of the shadows and reveals himself.

??????: The legendary weapons of Konoha... Uzumaki Naruto aka Nine-Tail Jounin.... and Uchiha Sasuke.. aka the Genius Ninja Jounin.

Naruto: Nan desu ka!!?

Hiryu: My name is Hiryu... Shinobi of the Sanada clan...

Kakashi: Sanada.... a very old and extinct...... non existent clan... How are we supposed to believe you descend from them?

Hiryu: I cannot tell you how you're supposed to believe.... I can only tell you why.... 30 years ago, The demon Nine-Tails Kyubi destroyed our village. And Uchiha Itachi was a part of it.

Kakashi: Huh!?

Hiryu: When Kyubi destroyed our village, it disappeared and appeared again only to be sealed with this Nine-Tail Jounin of yours. I'm here to kill Kyubi and it's host... as well as the last descendant of the Uchiha clan.

All of a sudden Hiryu makes a unorthodox seal with his hand with the index and middle finger up and the rest of his hand closed.

Hiryu: Hmmm........................KUCHIYOSE NO JUTSU!

Hiryu then summons a metallic armored looking Tiger. As the tiger comes alive, he then attacks Naruto. Naruto dodges and hits the tiger with a shuriken, but the shuriken bounces off. They regroup as Naruto is shocked.

Naruto: Hoi, Ero! How did he use the summoning technique without performing the seal!?

Kakashi: The sanada clan was famous for this... They are very old in tradition and use very unorthodox Jutsus. They mentally perform the seals and then use their extra Chakura to perform the Jutsu...

Naruto: Amazing..... I wanna learn that...

Kakashi: You'll need the seal thats on his head...

Naruto: Hmmm?

Kakashi: His seal allows his Chakra to flow within his mind and read the seals he's performing mentally.

Naruto: Thats so much easier!!

Kakashi: It takes more than 20 years to master Mental Seals... they aren't the same as hand seals!

Naruto: err......................BAH!

Sasuke: Let's stop talking about how he does things, and think of a way to kill him... doing it OUR way!

Naruto: Now your talking!
