Kakashi hummed as he flipped his page of his book with a singular finger while Tazuna was to the right of him. Sasuke was to the far left with a look of boredom etched into his face, seemingly annoyed that there was no encounters with bandits. Sakura was to the far right looking back and forth from the woods on eather side of them. Then there was Naruto, who was in the front with his hands behind his head.

"So do you guys really think there is going to be bandits? I'm kinda bored."
Naruto said with a tone that told the four that he was indeed bored. Kakashi gave a small hum before he shrugged his shoulders, "The odds are always the same for every escort mission."

Naruto gave a small look behind him before looking forward. "You said your from wave country, Tazuna?" Naruto gave him a question making him stumble slightly from the question. "Yes I am, why do you ask?" Naruto gave a small turn and pointed towards his headband on his forehead and paused slightly so he could see.

"Do you happen to know where the land of whirlpools are? I'm looking for Uzushiogakure." Tazuna and Kakashi stopped hearing the location.
"You are a Uzumaki aren't you." Sakura and Sasuke looked curiously at Naruto then back to the older man curiously. Naruto nodded his head in confirmation.

"The land of whirlpools isn't far from the land of waves, but it is impossible to breach the never ending tides..." Tazuna stated making him look up slightly quickly before looking towards Kakashi with pleading eyes.
"Can we go! After the mission?" Sakura looked at Naruto's eyes and saw that he was genuinely wanting this... I mean, It is his heritage and where his family began.

"Didn't You hear Tazuna, no one has been able to get on that island since the second war ended. The whirlpools created there was from a massive sealing jutsu, I am afraid that it will last forever."

"But don't you think Naruto will be able to? He is a Uzumaki after all."

"Even if that is possible Sakura, Naruto would need some sort of jutsu to release it."

Naruto frowned as he heard that and nodded slowly before turning around and continued to walk, his head hanging low. Tazuna gave the boy a long look as he began to walk as well before sighing. "I have a scroll, I found it when I was rummaging through my grandfather's things... though I can't read it... perhaps it is that jutsu?"

Naruto looked behind him briefly and nodded slowly, he turned his head back foward to see a puddle a little bit ahead of them... he gave it a curious glance cause it was the first puddle he has seen since they left the village.

As they passed the puddle... a few seconds passed... before a chain came out of the puddle and wrapped it's self around the nearest thing, which was Kakashi. The four others watched with surprise as the silver haired male seemed to be sliced into pieces by the jagged metal.

Tazuna gulped as two figures were revealed from the genjutsu of the puddle. "Now, who is next?" The oldest one seemed to ask before their head was turned quickly as Naruto appeared in front of him kicking his head to the left. "That would be me." His eyes glowed like a blue dagger.

Naruto hit the oldest of the demon brothers on the shoulder pushing him back, and since they were linked the youngest went after his designated target, Tazuna. Sasuke, who was looking for a opening to attacked found one and kicked the man on the leg, tripping him before bringing his foot down onto the man's stomach.

But before that the man disappeared into a log and behind Sakura, who had a Kunai out and twisted around to throw the blade at the man's forehead, but he was able to grab her hair and point his gauntlet at her throat.

Naruto who was able to see what was happening gritted his teeth before he felt a pulsing sensation in his right arm... he winced as he felt it again before he tried to dodge... the blade grazing his right arm and cutting off a bit of his bandages.

"If you try something again this little girl will die!" The youngest brother stated to all of them. Narutos arm pulsed once more at that and his eyes turned a pure purple before his bandages were thrown off and he disappeared in a burst of speed and was behind the one holding Sakura. "Put her down or I will rip you apart, limb by limb!" Naruto voice was much more inhumane then it should be which made the man's nerves become shot and let go of Sakura, who turned around and got to see what was happening.

Naruto's arm having scales all around it up to his shoulder... and it seemed that more scales began to form around his face as well. "You little brat!" The older of the two yelled... but before he could do anything else he was knocked to the ground by Kakashi who was looking boredly at his book.

"Y-you, but how?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, shame on you not seeing my substitution jutsu." Kakashi wagged his finger before looking towards Sasuke, "Tie them up." The Uchiha nodded and grabbed rope from his pouch as Kakashi went over towards Naruto who appeared to be shaking with rage as his claws began to draw blood from the other brother.

"Naruto you can let go now, he passed out." His eyes began to slowly dim which seemed to show he was calming down.. he let the unconscious man fall to the ground in a heap while Sakura put her hand to her mouth. "Naruto-kun... your arm." He winced hearing that before she grabbed his hand and he flinched feeling the contact.

He backed away quickly to a tree, his back hitting it. "Don't... I'm a monster..." Sakura shook her head as she came slowly closer to the blond. "You are not... don't say something like that." She wrapped her arms around him and hugged the scared teen. He felt his eyes tear up and hugged the pinkette while Tazuna gave the boy a sad look, he must of dealt with some serious outrage by people around him... perhaps that was why he covered his arm.

He looked over towards Kakashi as he walked over towards him "You and I need to talk." Tazuna sighed and nodded grimly.

...

Meanwhile, in a nearby tree, the third of the party watched everything unfold and jump away quickly with one thought in mind. "I must tell my lady" as they jumped quickly from tree to tree.
