" WHAT" Lee said and Shikamaru replied.

" It took you guys a while to get here so I did some small numbers, if it was the second theory, two or three people were taken with us," Shikamaru said.

" Any ideas of who," Hinata asked and Shikamaru said and before he could answer a knock rang through the room.

Quickly deactivating the sound portion of the barrier -thanks to exposure to seals because of Naruto and Tenten- Lee stood up.

" What".

" May I come in" the voice of the Hokage called out and Lee relaxed.

" I would not suggest that Hokage Sama." Lee replied and another voice rang out.

" Naruto has frog summons, Hinata you have lions, Shikamaru has deers, Lee you never like the idea of having summons" Tsunade called out and everyone gasped.

After all, that was something only someone from their timeline would now.

Lee sprung to the door and opened it, Shikamaru stole Naruto from Hinata's arms and hid in the shadow with Hinata quickly rushed past Lee and hugged Tsunade. The woman instantly hugged the girl back and stood up.

" What's going on," She asked.

" Looks like the same jutsu always shows up when you come back to the village for Naruto," Hinata said quickly coming up with an explanation that would tell Tsunade what was going on but keep the others who were still all in the hallway in the dark.

" Naruto" She gasped and Hinata nodded. Quickly Lee got some blood from Tsunade and entered the room, probably editing the main seal, instantly doing the same with the Hokage.

Without a second thought Tsunade entered the room and went to the bedroom where Shikamaru was with Naruto.

" You have one more person to get blood from Lee, " The Hokage said.

Lee looked confused before and Anbu dropped from the floor. This Anbu was strangely dressed in all black with red outlines and a pure black mask.

" Hinata san, Lee san it has been a while since I have seen you well. Is Naruto still insisting on calling me senpai?" The Anbu said and Lee could feel a slight teasing glint before the words caught up to him.

Hinata squealed and Lee jumped the man. Itachi is back! And Alive!

" Crow. It's been a long time" Shikamaru's familiar drawl before looking at the man up and down.

Everyone in the room paused before Shikamaru nodded and Lee instantly got a few drops of blood to edit the seal.

" Everything has been so troublesome this week. Hell, nevermind week this year" Shikamaru groaned and several people held back laughter.

" Gomen Shikamaru-kun. I know you have enough with Naruto, I don't mean to trouble you" Itachi now taking the name of Crow said.

" I had to stop him from infiltrating the freaking Akatsuki." Shikamaru deadpanned and Hokage- sama and Crow choked.

" I am so sorry" Crow said but amusement ticked his voice.

" I wouldn't have it any other way, troublesome blond" Shikamaru said and the group laughed.

" Was it Danzo?" The Hokage asked and Shikamaru took a glance at the rest of the two teams with pursed lips.

" Shikamaru I will personally make sure that none of them interfere with this. You and Itachi will lead"

" Yes it was, his chakra was keyed into the wards at the time of the attacks. He wants Naruto in Root, He's had those bastards stalking him daily, but we thought we had more time before he would react" Shikamaru sighed.

Everyone stiffened at the killer intent that radiates off of Itachi.

" Wait Danzo wants Naruto in Root!" Kakashi said and the Hokage sighed.

" Kakashi you will do nothing" before Kakashi could rebut Hokage's turn.

" Crow, my only requirement is his head, Shikamaru, you will be back up. Get revenge Crow for everything that this place has done to you" The Hokage snarled, before walking into the room

" It's times like this that we remember that he is the god of shinobi instead of the professor." Shikamaru states, as if commenting on the sky.

"So am I going to keep calling you crow?" Shikamaru asked and Itachi looked up and then to the other teams.

" I think it would be best," Crow said and Shikamaru nodded.

" Lets-" Shikamaru is cut off by a blur of yellow and black.

Naruto was practically a koala hugging the Anbu.

" Hello Naruto," Crow said, completely unbothered.

Naruto said something that was muffled and no one could understand. No one except Itachi.

" Yes I am aware," He replied.

" Naruto Uzumaki, get your ass back in here!" Tsunade yelled.

" I just went through trauma, let me live" Naruto called out and Shikamaru snorted.

" How about therapy" Shikamaru snarked and everyone saw the blond stiffen.

" I am never doing that again"

" Didn't you just get attacked in your apartment?" Itachi asked.

Naruto separated himself from the Uchiha and everyone saw the red rimmed eyes and slightly blotchy face.

"We all can't be you senpai, funny how you are talking to me about therapy, Mr. I ran away" Naruto replied and Crow showed no visible reactions.

" First stop calling me senpai, second at least I got away Mr. I got dragged by the ears" The Anbu replied.

" Both of you please do this old man a service and get help" The Hokage said, stepping out of the room.

" No" both deadpanned.

" Oh my god there's two now" Lee chuckled.

" Kill me," Shikamaru said.

" You love me" the blond said and Shikamaru sighed.

" I love you so much I'm about to get someone's head on your behalf" He sniped and Naruto winced.

" No one is Killing Danzo" Naruto said and everyone stiffened.

" If you think, even for a second that I am not killing that bastard for this then you don't know me" Shikamaru snarled.

" Shikamaru!" Naruto snarled. Everyone stilled, Naruto was many things, even before the big change but never truly angry.

" I don't like the bastard, especially now since I know he can get through my seals which means that you three are in danger! But he is still needed! Think about it Shika... Half our plans revolve around the guy!" 

" I'm sorry can someone explain what is going on!"
