A few hours later

Storm's POV

I see a guy with orange hair, a Akatsuki cloak and a purple ripple pattern in his eyes pass me with 5 others. I watch them unnoticeably and I disappear into the shadows, following them.

Naruto's POV

I stand in Grandma Tsunade's office with Sakura, Sai and Captain Yamato, but no sign of Storm.

"It's not like Storm to be late, what's keeping her?" Sakura asks.

"She's taking care of the guy who killed Jiraiya." Grandma Tsunade says to us and my eyes widen.

"What?" I ask and she nods.

"Storm works best alone on missions, so don't go after her, she specifically told me not to and she gave me her word she'd come back alive, so don't go after her Naruto." Grandma Tsunade says and Sai's eyes widen slightly.

I growl. "Pervy Sage was my teacher, I have a right to go after her and help." I say and Grandma Tsunade's eyes show a bit of sadness in them.

"She told me not to send anyone after her because she didn't want to watch their backs on this mission, she executes her missions perfectly when she does them alone Naruto, just the other day I told her to go take out Deidara who faked his death, but she came back saying someone else took him out before she could, and then a few months ago, I told her to go capture some rouges and take them to Lord Raikage, every single solo mission she has done, she always came back with out a scratch, not even a spec of dust." Grandma Tsunade says and all our eyes widen. "She is fully capable of doing this alone, she could easily become ANBU if she wanted, she could even bring Sasuke back by force, but she won't do either because she's looking out for you guys and she wants you Naruto to bring Sasuke back and prove that you can become Hokage." 

"No way, you mean our Storm, can do all that? But she's always quiet or mad, but lately." Sakura says trailing off.

"Lately she's been more calm, even tempered, want to know why?" Grandma Tsunade asks and Sakura nods.

"It's because it's been storming lately, m'lady, Storm is my student, the reason why she's even tempered now is because it has been storming, when it rains she's at peace, I noticed this through out the time I was training her." Kakashi-Sensei says behind us with a closed eyed smile. "She has a personal connection to storms, she can sense them with out even having to know that there are clouds in the sky." 

"Wait, what? So her name and actual storms are related?" I ask and Kakashi-Sensei nods.

"Alright, back to your mission, Storm from my experience, doesn't like being talked about, with out permission, she can be more mysterious than Kakashi over there, that is, when she wants to be. Your mission to escort

Storm's POV

I follow the six quietly when a kunai get's thrown at me, my shadows catch it and place it in a tree with out the six noticing.

"Come out, I feel chakra following us." The ring leader, I guess says to me in a calm tone.

"Well shit." I say and my shadows disappear. I look at the six, looking at each one closely and they can tell my storm blue eyes are analyzing their every move.

"Your Karma. I don't understand why you have come, we haven't done anything wrong, we are simply creating peace." The leader says to me confused.

I laugh dryly. "Killing innocent, killing Jiraiya, my teammate Naruto's Sensei, your Jutsu teacher, Yahiko, or Nagato should I say." I say and my hair blocks a barrage of kunai. "Wild Lion's Mane Jutsu." I say as my hair hardens around me as weapons try hitting me.

"Wait, that Jutsu, that's the same as Jiraiya's." Nagato says to me.

"I picked up a year ago, really useful might I add." I say and my hair retracts after the weapon attack is over. "If that's all you got then that's pathetic." I say and that makes them mad.

It drizzles and I close my eyes as the rain hits me and I dodge all their attacks effortlessly.

"She's dodging all of them, just who is she?" I hear a woman ask but she's not anywhere close by, I can hear her through the piercings on the six bodies in front of me.

I smirk to myself and I land a kick on their leaders head, he stabs me in the leg with one of those piercings. "You fell for it." I say and kick him in the chin as I jump back, making him fly into the other 5. I bend down on my good leg and place my hands in the tiger seal, making a barrier surround me. "White Shadow Barrier." I say and it forms around the first barrier, stopping anything and I mean, anything, coming for me.

I use the piercing stick to listen to the conversation Nagato and that woman are having. "I can hear you two." I say and hear the woman gasp while Nagato growls. "Any plan you come up with now, will be transmitted into me from this stick you had one of the bodies stab my leg with." I say with a smirk.

"Yes, but it could go the other way too, I know what your thinking." Nagato says and I can feel his smirk.

"Good thing I trust my instincts and not a plan." I say back. "You see, I'm gonna be the next Alpha on Mt. Okami, I don't do plans and I trust my instincts, like every Alpha of Mt. Okami." I say and place my hands together to make the serpent hand sign and my hair starts to levitate behind me as my Alpha Sage Mode activates, black liner appears around my eyes, making my eyes look kind of like Gaara's but Storm Blue, my hair grows twice as long and turns black and black wolf ears and a tail appears with brown tips on them. "Mt. Okami, Alpha Sage Mode, complete." I say and my barriers go down, I immediately block a punch coming for me with my hand and kick the big guy in the gut, sending him flying back. I beat them up for a while before they're forced to retreat, I get rid of the stick in my leg and I smash it with a punch. 

My Alpha Sage mode disappears and I fall on one knee, breathing heavily while my leg bleeds badly. "What a pain, literally." I mutter and sense someone watching me, I grab a kunai and throw it, Sasuke and his new team I'm assuming, jumps down. I try controlling my breathing, but fail since I'm low on chakra after activating my Alpha Sage mode with out time to gather as much nature energy as I needed.

"What happened to you, you look like crap Storm." Sasuke says with a arrogant smirk.

I make the ram seal and my hand glows green, I put on my leg and it starts healing. "Sasuke, I assume your going after your brother now." I say, keeping my self physically and mentally calm. Once my wound is finished healing, I stand up and immediately dodge a big guy coming for me, but not with as much ease as before. "Damn it." I say and hold my arms up in front of me as Kunai hit, I turn into a substitution and appear in the shadows, Sauske immediately see's me.

"Still hiding in the shadows, how pitiful for someone as strong as you." Sasuke says and I roll my eyes, knowing better not to attack. "What not going to attack? Oh I get it, your to weak right now, I bet you don't even have the strength to stand." Sasuke says with a smirk.

I take a sharp in take of breath and activate my One Thousand Healings. "Storm's Seal Release." I say while placing my hands together, my hair levitates behind me and purple marks like Tsunade's appear and chakra flows into my body. "You still know every button to push, don't you Sasuke?" I ask and punch him in an instant, he flies back and the red head freaks out and attempts to hit me. "The one thing I hate being called, is weak, if anything I'm stronger than the Sanin when they work together. I have mastered every Jutsu that was thrown my way, for instance, the Rasengan, Naruto's Jutsu and Chidori, Kakashi's Jutsu, when I use them both, they turn into this." I say and form the Rasengan in my hand and Chidori as well. "It's called the Lightning Sphere." I say as lightning forms into a perfect sphere like the Rasengan and a blue cover forms around it.

Sasuke's eyes widen slightly as he looks at it. 

"This is my own Jutsu, this happened when I attempted to learn the Rasengan with Naruto, I did, but then it turned into this when I was experimenting with this, wait, damn I'm stupid, you guys are technically my enemies, but at the moment, I don't feel like fighting, even though I am supposed to bring Sasuke back to the Leaf when I get the chance, now is one and Tsunade will probably kill me if I don't take it. Damn it, to much stuff going on and so much stuff looming over my head." I say with a scowl and jump back multiple times, dodging Sasuke's sword strokes, I hit a tree and duck just in time to dodge another sword stroke.

"Why can't I hit you, I've gotten stronger so why can I not hit you?" Sasuke asks me angry.

"Because Sasuke, I've analyzed all of your moves, your fighting styles, your Jutsu, the way you mold your chakra and how you use it, I did that when I found you in Orochimaru's hide out." I say and Sasuke tch's. "I'm passing up this chance, because I don't have enough chakra to fight right now, I could give a rats ass on what Tsunade will think, I'm not getting myself killed when I said I wouldn't die on this mission." I say and do some hand signs, I poof to a house in the middle of the woods, scaring Sakura, Naruto and Yamato. "What are you guys doing here?" I ask them confused.

"A mission, to help escort Lady Hotaru to her clans hidden village." Sai says to me.

"Oh, shit, I forgot about the contract between the Hidden leaf and Tsuchigumo. Hotaru hates me, which is why I shouldn't be here." I say and Naruto looks me over. "Don't say anything, I know I look like crap, I need to gather some chakra, my target retreated and I was forced to retreat from lack of chakra." I say and the four nod. I jump back into a tree and sit there with my hands making the tiger sign. The four go on their way and I gather chakra.

Once I gather enough, I remember something. "Shit, Utakata." I say and run in the shadows, I watch as the four do their mission and I see Utakata leave, I follow him and then dodge bubbles. "Relax, it's just me Utakata." I say and he looks at me.

"Storm?" He asks and I nod. 

"Yeah, well, now I know why my target left his base and retreated." I say and Utakata looks at me confused. "My target is Nagato, former student of Jiraiya, the Toad Sage, he killed Jiraiya and has killed many innocent, he's the leader of the Akatsuki, the sooner I finish my mission, the sooner I can pick off the Akatsuki and get rid of their organization." I say and Utakata nods.

"I see, do you need any help?" He asks.

I shake my head. "Stay out of it, he wants your chakra beast, its safer if you stay near Hotaru." I say and he nods. "I'll be keeping and out in the shadows." I say and Utakata leaves, I sit up against a tree and gather some shadows and make shadow dogs, they follow Team Kakashi and Hotaru.

"Well then, seems we've caught you Karma or should I say Storm Senju Nara."
