"What do you mean he's gone Sasuke!"

Sasuke narrowed his eyes,"What do you think I mean."

Tsunade sighed,"Screw it, bring out the sake."

She popped open the bottle and drunk it straight from the glass before clumsily wiping her mouth using her sleeve.

"Sasuuuu, ggeett Shizuneeee." Tsunade slurred, setting the bottle down, but ended up spilling it over the table,"Whoops, hhaaahaaa.."

"My lad- Oh no!" Shizune gasped in horror before rushing over to help Tsunade stand from her chair,"Let's get you home."

"Buuuuttt weesshh needdsh toooshhh partyissh!" Tsunade woozed around.

"No, we have to get you to bed, and Sasuke, you are dismissed."

"Okay."

Naruto was heading towards a special place to meditate so he could rest his heart and mind.

He sat down, legs crossed and eyes closed shut.

The wind carried on the sound of bristling leaves and crackling twigs. His sharp nose twitched as he sniffed the air.

'Ah. Kaiyu.'

"Yes?" Naruto asked, still continuing his meditation. The little brown fox curled up next to him, nestled in the grass.

"Why indeed it is, make short work of them will you please?" Naruto smirked, knowing that Ichi, Tatsu and Irken will tear them to pieces.

Irken nodded, while the other two got ready to pounce on their dinner. Within minutes the Konoha shinobi were disposed of and the hungry foxes were satisfied with their

"Thank you Naruto-san." The foxes kneeled before him then left with a smoke trail. Naruto sighed and picked up a bone."Looks like I need to move again." he groaned."Why can't Konoha leave me alone?"

As he looked to the sky he saw a crow with red eyes fly across the trees. Naruto held onto the handle of the katana, when a man with a familiar cloak arrived with a partner.

"Uchiha Itachi."
