The day was cool and sultry as the shadows flitted playfully beneath Naruto’s sneakered feet, tumbling in waves and spurts in marbled patterns over the concrete as flocks of birds flew overhead. Tilting his head back so his dark glass covered eyes reflected the lazy tufts of clouds floating above, the boy grinned as he watched the white cotton fly by in the sky. It was a cool spring day, with the leaves green as the grass and the breeze going anywhere and everywhere.

A cool breeze danced with his hair as he entered a small coffee shop. It was nothing short of a few tables, a small stage with a stool and microphone upon it and a counter with a menu overhead telling different flavor and ways of the caffeinated substance. Though it was Saturday afternoon, the little shop was full to its capacity as a woman with long jet-black hair and emerald green eyes waltzed onstage and sat down on the small stool, grabbing the microphone from where it laid on the floor.

Since there were no more seats, Naruto just leaned against the wall near the door as he waited for Sakura to finish. She glanced around as if looking for someone but when her gaze landed on him, she smiled a little, then frowned, probably because he was wearing his favorite shades today. He gave her a big smile in return.

“Okay, now since there’s no doubt that you came to see me, which song should I sing?” she spoke into the mike. Different songs from different genre’s were shouted as nearly the whole café ~mostly guys~ wanted her to pick there song. Sakura got angry at some of the choices but didn’t lose her temper. She couldn’t mess up the beautiful thing she had going could she?

She smiled even though it was strained “Alright! Alright! Those were some good choices but I can only pick one and somebody shouted out (1) ‘Unbreakable’” she sighed and began singing. Naruto closed his eyes and let Sakura’s voice wash over him, calming him. All the years they had knew each other, he had no idea Sakura could sing like that until they had started coming here a few weeks ago. She was that good.

He opened his eyes and scanned the room. There in the far right corner was him. Naruto pushed himself of the wall and walked over to the table grabbing a seat from the table a couple had just left from and seated himself across from the man. The man glanced at him, then back to Sakura sipping his coffee.

“She sings well doesn’t she?” The man nodded in agreement and set his drink down getting up leaving the table. Naruto watched him leave from behind his shades. He glanced behind him without twisting his whole body around to see where the man went. He saw him head to these (2) bald, bulky, black clad men in the back. He reached inside his jacket and pulled out a murky colored liquid in a small vial. He watched as the man looked at him before resuming talking to the men. He unscrewed the vial and poured the liquid into the man’s drink.

He screwed it back and put it in his jacket as the man, accompanied by the bulky men returned to the table. “Sir, we’re going to have to ask you to leave the table,” said baldy#1. Naruto nodded and stood up. “It was nice sitting with you,” he said to the man. The man just dismissed him as if he was nothing and sipped his coffee. Naruto just walked away… By that time Sakura was finished singing and was bowing as the people clapped.

Now that Sakura had finished singing. Most of the people that were there had cleared out. Naruto stood against the wall again looked at his watch. ‘5…4…3…2…1’ The man from earlier suddenly spasmed and fell out of his chair, startling everyone in the café. White foam leaked from his mouth as he screamed in pain. A few seconds later, the man had gone completely still and quiet.

A nearby woman put two fingers on his neck and felt for a pulse “He’s dead” she confirmed. Baldy man#2 looked to where Naruto was standing but he was gone, so was the girl.

The sunny blonde couldn’t help it anymore, he could barely contain his laughter in the café but now that his mission was over, he couldn’t take it anymore. “D-id you have fun Sa-ku-ra-chan!” he sang between laughs. Emerald eyes gave him a cold glare as she scowled. “Shut-up dobe,” as they got further from the small café, Sakura disappeared in a puff of smoke and in her place stood a boy with jet-black hair and obsidian eyes that seemed to reach into oblivion.

“Sasuke-teme!”

Sasuke just ignored the loudmouth blonde and brushed off his black cargo shorts and black no-sleeve shirt. “I don’t understand why Sakura could not do that,” he stated sourly. Naruto pulled off his sunglasses revealing deep blue eyes. ‘Like the sun and the sky’ thought Sasuke.

He put them in the pocket of his orange button down shirt Naruto glanced at Sasuke ‘How does he stay so pale and he shows so much skin’ he thought. “Because Sasu-chan Sakura is on tour with Ino and that old hag won’t call Sakura across the country just because you don’t want to be the distraction,” Sasuke glared and punched him to the ground. Naruto glared at him from the ground as Sasuke ruffled his hair “Never let your guard down in front of an enemy, dobe” he smirked and continued walking.

‘Goddamn smug bastard!!!’

Once arriving to their destination Naruto and Sasuke Naruto gave a timid knock while Sasuke stood behind him annoyed “Why are you knocking? This is our room!” he snapped. Naruto gave an involuntary shudder “After what happened with the old hag and the old pervert, I will never be the same!” he cried. Growing impatient Sasuke shoved Naruto out the way and opened the hotel door with his key.

They walked in and Naruto immediately went to the silver cell phone on the nightstand. Flipping it open he speed-dialed a number, few seconds later a sleep filled voice answered.

“Been slacking of again, old hag,” stated Naruto. Sasuke could hear a loud ‘Shut-it brat!’ on the other end of the phone from where he laid on one of two beds in the room. And, of course Naruto had to respond by ‘I’m not brat, you hag’ then some more yelling on Tsunade’s part, but before the over-hyper blonde could respond Sasuke rose up and snatched the phone from his grasp.

“Kinnemoto Tsume is pronounced dead,” he stated. Naruto glared and crossed his arms over his chest, pouting that his fight had been interrupted, but a light bulb lit up as that mischievous fox-like grin spread across his face. Getting up, he prepared to charge as Sasuke stood with his back to him still relaying the mission to Tsunade. Holding his hands in the usual seal he whispered as he charged toward the assuming unexpectant boy.

“Kage Bushin no Jutsu!” Five clones appeared and three of them leaped up to tackle the raven-haired bishounen while the others went straight on. At the last minute, Sasuke leaped sideways, causing the ones in the air to crash into one another and disappear in a poof of smoke. The remaining Naruto’s leapt after him in the ridiculously large room, throwing punches and kicks at random, causing things around them to crash.

Sasuke not to be out-done by the loudmouth. Attacked back with the cell phone still to his ear, half-listening to what Tsunade was saying. “Fine, we’ll be back by within three days,” He flipped the phone shut and threw it towards the bed near Naruto. As the phone past him, Naruto glanced back at it, giving Sasuke a quick opportunity. He ran toward him and Naruto’s eyes held surprise as Sasuke delivered a round-house kick to his abdomen, causing him to fly back a few feet, hitting the nightstand which caused the lamp and electric clock to fall.

A series of knocks at the door soon followed. Naruto grunted and stood to open the door after Sasuke just ignored it. Jerking open the door he came face to face with a boy about his age with shaggy brown hair and cinnamon brown eyes dressed in standard hotel uniform attire. “What?!” he snapped in English after five minutes of the boy’s staring. “Ummm…w-we h-h-heard crashes and I came to see if everything was fine,” he said trying to look past Naruto at the room without trying to get caught.

Naruto was about to tell the boy to piss off but Sasuke appeared next to him and answered “Were fine, we were just a little ‘busy’ at the moment and you know how rough these type of things can get,” said Sasuke in fluent English. The boy nodded and just walked away. Naruto gently closed the door. His eyes narrowed into fox-slits as confusion settled on his face. “What was that all about?” he asked mostly himself.

Sasuke just smirked and flopped down on the bed “Nothing you’ll never understand,”

“Hey what’s that suppose to mean!?”


“Exactly how is sounded,”


“You want a piece of me Sasuke-chan!?”


If you were outside that door…or within a 1000-foot radius of it. You would have heard crashes, grunts and other sounds emitting from inside. People who walked by would have thought they were fighting or something but if you really want to find out, go knock yourselves but be prepared they’ll it deny like hell.

Naruto’s POV


It is now almost noon in eastern time, so that would mean we should arrive at around five o’clock in (3) New York. Stretching like a cat, I yawned lazily as Sasuke and I are waiting for our plane to return us back to Fire Country territory. Here’s the story of why were not within our boundaries: A man named Kinnemoto,Tsume had been causing some serious trouble within Konoha territory, ambushing travelers for valuables and revealing ninjutsu within civilian eyes.

He was last spotted in Earth Country, so here we are.

Times have changed now. The five major shinobi nations are not as long ago and the age of the ninja is now extinct. Soon after the Chunuin exam, people of the world started to fear ninja’s and their power as soon as they caught wind of Orochimaru and the Akatsuki plans. It seemed that rebelling and killing ninjas amongst them was the only solution, thus Fire, Earth, Water, Lightning, and Wind Country crumbled.

After satisfied that they had killed every ninja, amongst the rubble of the fallen villages they began to build a new country, with different states and all that. It was much like Konoha but different, bigger. It no longer had the feeling or the sight of home. Everything was grey, silver, or black. It was as if these people have no appreciation for life but as a ninja I can’t say anything.

All ninja’s were forced into hiding, including Orochimaru and Akatsuki. So instead of quitting and leaving these people defenseless, the hag and other remaining Konoha ninja’s set up a reinforcement team and continued to do what we had to do but under three rules...

Rule#1: If a civilian (non- ninja) is present we cannot use ninjutsu. If seen, that civilian is to be killed immediately.


Rule#2: We still are able to go on missions but we have to hide our identities in case of rogue ninjas’ unless they will be able to hold our real identities against us.


Rule#3: You must have a cover life. No remaining ninja’s can just be a ninja.


Soon after other remaining ninjas’ from hidden villages began to follow our example. Though just because all the hidden villages followed Konoha’s example didn’t mean we were all allies. Rogue ninja’s are still loose but if there weren’t we wouldn’t really have jobs now would we?

Things, people and dreams have changed as have our lives.

I know some of you are confused. Let me explain it’s like what Naruto said, people became afraid and or jealous of the incredible powers ninjas have. So they decided to drive them out and kill them, its kind of like that Advanced Bloodline War Haku talked about in the manga, only they weren’t just killing clans with Bloodlines, they were killing any ninja they could get their hands on. Anyway after they were satisfied that they had killed every ninja they started rebuilding cities from the rubble of the villages.


To me the whole country of ninja thing when Kakashi explained it on Episode 6 I think, to me it looked kind of like America, so I based the cities and stuff the people made off of cities in America. So basically the shinobi nation is now America.
