Capítulo 840: 17
Chapter 16: One Bad Little Boy
"Kit have I ever mentioned that you're my favorite container ever?" The Kyuubi stated with a grin. Ever since it had found out what Naruto had planned for his would-be assassin's execution he was all smiles.
Naruto rolled his eyes once again as he made his way towards the Raikage Tower, 'I'm pretty sure that I'm your only container. And seriously, this is why you think I'm great? Not because I took you out of that musty cage, not because I gave you free reign to run roughshod over my mindscape village, and not because I let you see what I see, feel what I feel, and all the nine yards. No, the reason you think I'm awesome is because of my preferred method of execution.'
A vulpine grin that Naruto could just feel inside of his head pulled across the demon lord's lips, "Exactly." The Kyuubi chuckled upon hearing Naruto scoff, "And you would think that you were my only container wouldn't you?"
Naruto let a look of surprise cross over his face as he almost stopped walking, 'Wait, what? You're saying you've had a jinchuuriki before? Who was it? Were they better than me? And is the fact that only I'm killing the bastard that tried to kill me really a good reason to label me as the best?' He asked the last question almost mockingly.
Kyuubi sighed, "The first one simply kept me locked up for the most part and never really did anything at all, not even really tried to get any semblance of control, I was just pretty much ignored for the most part. The second one was much the same, she never really willingly tried to come into contact with me and thus my prison, A.K.A. the mindscape in which I am kept, fell into a disheveled state, in other words it deteriorated into the sewer that you first met me in."
Naruto nodded to what appeared to the people in the streets to be himself as he thought on his prisoner's words, 'True, true… I can see how that would already put me leaps and bounds ahead of them.'
Kyuubi continued, "Both of them also held the ability to restrain my power. My first jinchuuriki had very close ties to the Shodaime Hokage and with his ability to restrain the biju with his Mokuton he ended up passing off some of the ability to reign me in to that person's already impressive skills. Did you know that my first container sealed me into their own body? I'll tell you those damn mind chains were a real pain in my ass too. The next one was much the same, like I said, only more with the mind chains, and then there was you. Of course I was never used that much, why do you think that Gaara had so many tricks with his biju and you don't? Because every jinchuuriki that Shukaku was sealed in actually used it, it had to develop tricks and add-ons to survive. I was never really used, therefore all I taught you was the Imari, because I never had to come up with anything else. I'm just glad that you had enough imagination to come up with your own stuff."
'And then there was me…' Naruto repeated in his head, 'What about me?'
Naruto saw the Raikage Tower coming in sight as he continued listening on to the Kyuubi, "You didn't chain me down to anything. As a matter of fact even after you realized that I was the one that had nearly eradicated your home years ago you still treated me levelly. You not only actually let me see the outside world, you took it upon yourself to renovate the dreary sewer I had been in up to that point. And you have little to no problem giving into your natural bloodlust that comes with the territory of possessing me, even if you do only venture to that damned Forest of Death to indulge me."
Naruto rolled his eyes, 'Well I can't exactly go around killing random people whenever I want now can I? You'd better love me for what I'm about to do then, because this is going to suck for this guy.' Naruto saw his team standing outside of the tower, two with angry looks on their faces, and the other with a simple bored look on it with a senbon for added effect. Naruto grinned as he walked up, "So I assume the old man had some dealings to work out with Kumo's brass. How's everybody feeling today?"
Kotetsu glared down at the shorter chunin, "You're so lucky that beating the crap out of you would get me thrown in jail kid. You're a right bastard you know that?"
Naruto waved it off, "Hey, I'll bet the alcohol burned the hangover right out of you didn't it? Now you're fit for service today, and you're going to see something cool in a bit. Well, not so much cool as terrifying."
Izumo looked at the boy who was being very cryptic as to why they were there, "What are you talking about Naruto?"
Naruto chuckled, "I was attacked by an assassin last night. The Raikage's going to let me publicly execute him today."
Genma looked at the stunned faces of his older team members, "Naruto I should have known you were so chipper about something today. No wonder you wanted us to come. What are you going to do to the guy?"
Naruto walked up to Genma and whispered in his ear. The tokubetsu jounin looked at the boy and shook his head, "You're crazy kid, I swear."
Naruto grinned up at him, "Being crazy is the only thing that's kept me from going insane." With that, Naruto walked inside the tower and left his team on the outside to ponder amongst themselves.

A sat at his desk with the now recovered, for the most part, Team Samui standing in front of him. The girl that was the team's namesake stood straight and composed, "Team Samui reporting for a mission Raikage-sama."
A looked at the group of chunin. Karui still had a few bruises on her face, Omoi still had the telltale signs of a broken jaw, and Samui herself, while not showing any signs of outside trauma, still showed her own injuries by the way that she made no real sudden movements, probably due to the soreness of her ribs.
Sighing as he saw the expectant faces of the ninja A spoke, "Denied." He then steeled himself for the shitstorm to come.
"What!" Karui, predictably, was the first one to explode, "What do you mean we can't take any missions? Why? What did we do?"
A rolled his eyes, "If you want to take a D-ranked mission feel free, but I'm not sending you on a mission where there is implied combat. Not in the condition that you're all in, or did you think that I wouldn't find out about your little challenge to Uzumaki? It's kind of hard to hide the existence of the battle when said battle ends up putting you in the hospital."
All of the team had the decency to look sheepish. Before the conversation could continue, the Raikage's secretary knocked on the door and upon hearing a booming 'enter' made her way into the room, "Raikage-sama, you have a Naruto Uzumaki here that says you told him to show up today."
A nodded to the woman, "Go ahead and send him in." His secretary left to fetch Naruto while he turned his attention back to his team of chunin, "Speak of the devil, he's here."
Samui voiced a question, "Raikage-sama, why is Naruto-san coming to see you today?"
A decided to inform his ninja on what the boy was doing there, seeing as how he had somewhat established some sort of relationship with them, "Uzumaki was attacked last night by one of our ninja in his hotel room. Instead of attempting to deal with the man himself he avoided international incident and came directly to me. I have ordered the man be executed, and Uzumaki has asked to perform the service."
Karui gave Naruto a somewhat appalled look, "You volunteered to perform an execution?"
Naruto shrugged, "It was either kill him last night and get into some village relation nightmare scandal, or kill him today. No one tries to assassinate Naruto Uzumaki for personal reasons and lives. If it was a mission I'd still be pissed off about it, but I would have understood, you've gotta do what you've gotta do. This guy was simply related to the guy that tried to kidnap the Hyuuga Heiress a bunch of years ago, had a gripe against Konoha ever since, and decided to try and put down their jinchuuriki to cripple our strength. Personal revenge against me is fine, you just better make sure that you finish me off when you try it or else you'll have hell to pay."
Karui looked at the boy that had just broken into an entire explanation over her question, "Did you know that you are extremely mentally unbalanced? What kind of kid just up and opts to execute people like that?"
Naruto raised an eyebrow, "In the last year alone I've met a kid who's entire life mission is to kill his older brother who killed his entire clan when he was no older than we are now, a kid that had suppressed aggression issues that he took out on his younger female cousin, a kid that randomly crushed people with sand and called the demon inside of him 'mother', and a kid that walks around outdoors in broad daylight in green spandex, a bowl-cut haircut, and routinely shouts at the top of his lungs about youth while hugging and crying a man that looks like his father only with bigger eyebrows." Naruto put a small smile on his face, "Compared to most of the people I've met I'd say that I'm not that bad at all. If you'd met me six months ago, then you would say that I'm fucking strange, stranger than now so yeah… don't talk to me about weird or unbalanced, little miss 'my sensei routinely breaks into rhyme for no reason whatsoever'." Naruto finished while winking at the girl and clicking his tongue at her.
Karui blushed at way that Naruto had just addressed her while Samui eye twitched faintly at her side. Naruto turned to face A with a smile on his face, "So where's my late night unwanted visitor? I hope you guys didn't break him too badly over the night because I need him fully receptive to pain for what I have planned for him."
A was curious at what exactly a small boy could come up with to kill a prisoner in a public display, "What exactly do you have planned as far as the execution itself goes?" Naruto walked over and whispered his idea in A's ear. A pulled away from him, "What kind of kid comes up with that kind of thing?"
Naruto again shrugged, "All I need is something to hide my identity while I do it, because I don't need people from your village hating me for killing one of its ninja, even if it was warranted." Naruto looked around the office blankly, "You wouldn't happen to have a cloak or something that could cover my appearance would you?"
A made a face and noticed the team that was standing in his office, "Alright, if you kids want a mission I have one for you. Go get Uzumaki here something to cover his identity with before the execution in a bit."
Naruto stood gaping at A. Naruto wasn't dumb, he was well aware of the majority of things that went on around him and by listening to the 'mission' that had just been assigned to a team with two women he had come to a conclusion that he confirmed when he looked over at Team Samui's lone male member looking downtrodden, 'Did he just fucking give them free reign to play dress up with me?'
Naruto opened his mouth to dispute how he didn't need any help, that just a really long cloak would be adequate, when Samui laid a hand on his shoulder and spoke, "Of course Raikage-sama, we'll complete this mission to the best of our ability."
Naruto was then pulled out of the room by Samui and surprisingly even Karui by his hands. Turning back, he saw the smirking face of the Raikage and began cursing him out under his breath as the deep seated chuckles came from the massive man.

(Two Hours Later)
Arriving back in the tower, Naruto's eyes were well hidden by his new apparel that his female companions so readily picked out for him. Omoi was simply standing in the background with an amused look on his face. Naruto stood in front of the Raikage while the women stood back with satisfied looks on their faces. Samui because she got to see what the new guy looked like underneath his shirt by 'accident', and Karui because she had just spent the last two hours more or less ordering around the guy that had thrashed her soundly the other day.
Naruto's new look was a sleeveless hooded gray vest that draped far enough over his face to cover all of his features, except for his mouth, in shadow, his pants were black and taped off at the ankles, he kept the black bracers on his forearms, and had black shinobi sandals on his feet.
Naruto smirked as he formed a cross symbol with his fingers, "One last touch to my identity, Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Jutsu)." A clone of Naruto sprang into existence and promptly transformed into what he wore when he came to Kumogakure in the first place, "Go and find Genma, Kotetsu, and Izumo and stay with them until the execution is over, then leave the area and dispel so I can change and catch up with them."
His Kage Bunshin nodded and left the room to find his team while the original turned back to A with a toothy grin, shadow covering the rest of his face, "Now where's my victim for the day? Kyuubi's getting testy."
XxX
Naruto sat meditating in his hotel room after carrying out the execution of Kenta Marechiyo. The reason he needed to steady his mind this time? Random happenings of an unexpected nature occurring around his person.
Not to say that the happenings in question were unwanted. No not in the least, they were very welcome as far as he was concerned. But that didn't make them any less strange. The first was what had happened with his Kage Bunshin after he had it leave the premises of the execution site.
(Flashback – Roughly ten minutes after the execution)
'Naruto' had wasted no time in leaving the immediate area after his creator's little show. Dispelling in front of the Kumo shinobi might have blown his cover, which could lead to some ill will from them and maybe even retaliation somewhere down the line at a later time from angry nationalists that might have been thinking that Konoha was trying to push around some political weight that it didn't have.
Clone Naruto went as far as he could, heading into the residential area of the village where he was positive that no one would see him dispel. In an alley he figured that he was as well concealed as he was going to be when a shadow blocked the alley entrance.
Sighing to himself the clone focused to see that Samui and Karui had followed him to the alley, "What are you guys doing here? I need to dispel before boss gets caught, people can't realize that I was the one that did all of that yet."
Samui looked down for a moment before steeling herself somewhat and walking closer to the clone, "So anything that you know, Naruto will learn after you dispel?" She asked, getting a nod in response, "Well then, when does he leave Kumo?"
The clone thought about it for a moment, "I have no clue. I was never told how long we would be staying so your guess is as good as mine. Why do you want to know? And where is Omoi, did you guys ditch him?"
Karui walked up, "Omoi said he didn't need to be here for what we wanted to say to you. Say, if you don't have anything to do while you're still in the village why don't you come and find one of us? We can do something with you."
Clone Naruto blinked, 'Are they hitting on me? Sweet! Boss himself never even gets hit on and I'm just his freaking clone and two girls are trying it!' Giving the girls a million-dollar smile he gave them an answer, "Sure thing girls, and if you want to talk to me while I'm still here then you know where to find me right?"
Both girls nodded as Karui gave him a smile, "That's great! I guess we'll see you around then?"
'Naruto' nodded, "Sure thing. You two shouldn't be that hard to find right? I'll see you girls later."
Karui waved to him and left the alley. Samui lagged behind however, waiting until her teammate was out of sight before turning back to Naruto, "Naruto-san."
The clone held up his hand to stop her, "Samui I'm sorry, but I can't take the –san stuff. You don't have to use any honorifics with me. Just call me Naruto, it's alright, I won't mind."
Samui nodded and took a breath, looking somewhat nervous, a sharp contrast to what Naruto had come to expect from her personality. Quickly moving up close to him she planted a kiss on his cheek, "I hope to see you soon Naruto-kun."
As he watched the girl sway her hips somewhat as she left him in the alley a stupid grin rolled onto his face. Chuckling to himself, Naruto-clone dispelled himself.
(End Flashback)
Yeah… he didn't see that coming. How the hell was he going to work that one out in the end? Who knows? But the ride down promised to be super-fun if he would have his way with it.
That seemed like enough to fill his day with suggestive thoughts of potential situations, and the silence that he was receiving from his inner fuzzy was much appreciated, he didn't need any perverted jokes or lewd suggestions from the Kyuubi today thank you. Unfortunately, or very fortunately in the view of the certain others (Naruto included himself in this line of thinking), his day didn't end like that.
(Flashback – A few hours ago)
Naruto had hustled back to his hotel room after receiving his clone's memories and changed back into the clothes that he had come to Kumo with. Couldn't be seen in the new stuff after going through all of the trouble of hiding the fact that it was you in the first place right?
After washing the blood off of his body and changing a knock came at his door. Grabbing his sword and walking to answer it he opened it to find the smiling face of one Yugito Nii. This confused Naruto, as he hadn't really interacted with the girl at all since he had been in the village, save for the few minutes when they first met, "Hi there Yugito, how are you doing? Can I help you?"
Yugito nodded and Naruto motioned for her to enter the room. Yugito took a seat on one of the beds in the room and patted the spot next to her for Naruto to sit on. Naruto raised an eyebrow at the girl's cavalier attitude, but acquiesced to Yugito's silent request. Looking the girl over as he sat down now that he had time to let his eyes wander, he would agree with his earlier thought that Yugito was about four or so more years older than him, which begged the question, what was she doing here talking to him.
He didn't sense any hostile intent coming from her so she wasn't here to fight, or challenge him or anything. And with two girls from the village seemingly interested in him as it was, there was no way that another one was right? Especially one that was this hot and older than him.
Naruto looked up into Yugito's eyes to get a bead on why she was there and just decided to come out with it and ask, "So Yugito, what brings you here?"
Yugito smiled at him pleasantly again, "Well I just want to get to know you a bit Naruto-kun."
Naruto almost gulped nervously, 'Naruto-kun? I had to force Samui to stop calling me –san and Yugito's calling me –kun right off the bat?' Getting himself under control he cleared his throat, "Well what do you want to know? I'll answer what I can, but I don't see why you would want to know anything about me."
Yugito shook her head, "You just don't recognize the fact that you're interesting to people do you? You're a respectably strong ninja even among chunin and jounin from the way your team treats you and you're only thirteen years old. You're a jinchuuriki like me and Kirabi, and you don't seem utterly insane like he is."
Naruto gave her a questioning look, "Speaking of which, you don't have any quirks on that kind of level do you? Because here there's Kirabi, and then in Konoha I've got two people that I know that can match his crazy, and all of these people seem to want to talk to me for some reason, it's like I attract eccentric people."
Yugito giggled, "No I don't have anything quirky like that Naruto-kun, and Kirabi is okay in doses, you just have to get used to him." She looked at him softly, "I kind of want to know what makes you tick. You're a very good ninja, but you seem like such a nice person. Your diplomat doesn't seem to like you though from what Raikage-sama told me."
Naruto nodded, "Yeah most of Konoha's old fogies don't really see me in a good light. It's okay, if they really have a problem with me then they're all free to try and do something about it. I won't be their doormat or scapegoat though. I promised to protect Konoha itself, not necessarily the assholes in it, so in case anyone tries to pull any bullcrap on me they can get the same thing that guy got today."
Yugito looked at him curiously, "That was you? Who am I kidding, it makes sense. Who else is that short and allowed to carry out executions? So he tried to kill you?" She got a nod in response, "Have people in Konoha tried?"
Naruto nodded, "Yeah, but not for a long time. I guess the stupid civilians got sick of getting their asses kicked by a kid and smartened up. You're right I am a nice guy, until you try to kill me, then I'm a complete bastard as Kenta Marechiyo could attest to, if I hadn't cleaved him into five segments."
Yugito nodded, "True, so tell me then. What makes Naruto Uzumaki tick?"
(End Flashback)
Naruto and Yugito just spent the afternoon talking to one another. Yugito was actually a sweet girl that could relate on some level with Naruto, at first she wasn't trusted much either, but when Kirabi earned the people's trust by proxy his reputation trickled down to her somewhat as she also had gone through much for her village. She told Naruto that eventually his village would love him the way they loved Kirabi if he could just prove his skill and loyalty to them the way he did.
Naruto heard the heartfelt way she spoke to him and didn't have the heart to tell the girl the reason that they would probably never fully trust him and that he would eternally be walking on eggshells around them. He was now forever linked to the Kyuubi, the thing that had come within a hair of destroying the entire village of Konoha. The only way that he would be able to earn their full respect would be if he somehow defeated an enemy that was terrorizing the village and killing countless villagers single-handedly when no one else could stop them but him or something, you know, a one-in-a-million kind of scenario that only happens in manga and stuff.
As they both noticed the sun starting to set, Yugito stood up and thanked Naruto for taking the time to speak to her. She also told him that if he wanted to find her for any reason at all she would always be free for a cutie like him. He had to fight down a blush on that one, and had to stem blood flow to another place as he watched her leave the room and walk down the hall, because much like Samui she certainly made a show of it for him.
Naruto couldn't believe it. The only interaction with these girls that he had so far up to this point had been crashing the Raikage's office, kicking two of their asses with the other watching from a distance, and being arrested and hauled to the aforementioned Raikage's office.
'How the fuck do those interactions get hot women like that to like me? I didn't do anything, was I really that bad-ass? I was just being me.' Naruto was thinking to himself, 'Dude I can't even get a girl being a nice guy, albeit pretty dumb guy, back in Konoha for years, and here I just acted like a borderline psychopath and three girls just now showed interest in me. I guess that pretty boy Sasuke had it right after all, the more fucked up you seem the more women seem to flock to you.'
"Kit if you really start thinking like that, the next time you come in here I'll chase you and eat you…" Naruto heard from inside of his head. Kyuubi never really liked the Uchiha clan that much, even back before Naruto even met Sasuke, but it refused to elaborate on exactly why. After running through most of the interaction that he had with the boy Naruto just figured that it was his personality, it was certainly abrasive enough, "Just go with it. Whatever happens will happen. You're leaving soon anyway, you won't have to deal with it again for a while after this so go and spend some time with them, maybe you'll like one. And you really need to ditch all of these males that you're hanging around anyway."
Naruto sweat-dropped, 'You mean my team?'
Kyuubi grinned to itself, "Yeah… Kit your team is a sausage-fest, go and find those girls tomorrow or I'll sing for the entire day out loud."
Naruto's jaw dropped in horror, 'Oh come on! Why would you do that? I didn't even piss you off! You haven't done anything like that in years, why now?'
"Well your real memories were sealed up until a few months ago so the inside joke would have been lost on you. And you have pissed me off like that since then, but I've been very lenient."
A pale hue covered Naruto's face, 'You're kidding right? You wouldn't do that to me would you? We're friends-, well not really friends, but you get the point… right?'
"Hey kit do you like Wings?"
'Wings?'
"Love take me down to the streets!
Love take me down to the streets!
'Cause when you don't get fed at home…
You gotta give the dog his bone…
Take our lovin' to the streets!"
Several hours later Genma found Naruto lying on the hotel room floor frothing at the mouth mumbling lowly, "That's not Wings…"
XxX
(One Week Later)
Despite not being trusted enough by Homura to actually protect him during this trip, Naruto found that there was plenty for him to do in a foreign village. On the first day he simply found Yugito and trained with her for the day. The girl was at first surprised that the boy was able to keep up with her, but remembered that he was no slouch and that the Kyuubi could pick up his slack if need be.
Yugito even took it upon herself to teach him a lightning jutsu or two when he stated that the ones that he knew were very specialized. Naruto would have tried teaching her some wind maneuvers in return, but Yugito's elements were lightning and fire, and that made it hard for her to learn those techniques, she appreciated the effort though and said she'd keep trying to learn them.
The second day he was quickly found by Kirabi and was forced to follow the man around Kumo all day running errands with the man. Errands consisted mostly of standing by while the man stood on top of the Raikage Tower while he tried rapping to the masses, he even introduced Naruto but thankfully left out the Mr. 9 stuff.
After that Naruto saw firsthand how beloved Kirabi actually was. There were kids coming up to him, some asking for his autograph, some asking him to do a rap (Naruto cringed when he actually went through with the request), hell there were kids trying to rap to him. It made him wonder if things could ever be like that for him, he smiled when he realized that it was getting there, slowly, but it was. For better or worse he already had his own chibi-brigade that followed him around whenever he was in town so that was step one it seems.
The next part was when Kirabi went to his team's houses to tell them that he had a mission away from Kumo for a while so training was put off. He learned that Omoi and Karui were related, he kind of didn't see that coming, they seemed too different to him. Their parents were dead so he could relate with them like that, though he wisely didn't bring that up, that would have been stupid. He simply played the straight man to Kirabi's over the top B.S. that he could tell was working on Karui's nerves.
Upon departing from their house, Naruto probably had his moment of the day when Kirabi actually broke into Samui's home when she didn't answer the door. While Kirabi was roaming the house looking for the girl, Naruto simply stood in a hallway waiting for the eccentric man to give up so they could go. While he was standing there he was graced with the sight of Samui emerging from her bathroom after a shower, clad in only a towel, and that was enough for Naruto's mind to get to work. Strangely enough, Naruto didn't get the beating for that, Kirabi did. Naruto dragged the man out of the house in pieces while apologizing and explaining to Samui who just looked at him with a blush on her face.
After dragging Kirabi to the curb outside of her house he even offered her a massage as an apology, somewhat jokingly, mostly just to see what she would do, he was either expecting a stuttering decline to his offer or a rage-filled chase with her still clad in a towel which would have been great. After a slightly shocked look she smirked at him and invited him inside, yep… good day to be the kid.
The next day Naruto decided that seeing Samui would have been somewhat detrimental to his health after basically seeing her naked the day before so he simply stayed in the hotel room. Izumo and Kotetsu eventually made their way to the room and ended up playing poker with Naruto. The end result was Naruto taking all of their money, plus I.O.U.s from both men in the amount of their mission paychecks, another good day to be the kid.
Karui and Omoi found Naruto the next day after training him and dragged him out of his house to show him Kumo so that he knew what he would want to do next time instead of just training and staying in his room. Running into their teammate Samui later on they decided to make a day of it and ended up seeing a movie. Naruto didn't really care about the movie as he ended up spending the majority of it working on his growing flirting skills. Mostly with Samui, but also with Karui when he was certain that he wouldn't be hit for it.
The end of that day saw him sitting on the roof of his hotel listening to Yugito play her shamisen for him, as she had asked if she could a few days before and Naruto agreed, wanting to hear someone else besides him play an instrument and also thankful that her innate musical talents came in the form of a more pleasant instrument to relax to, unlike him and his apparent skill with drums.
That marked his last day in Kumo as negotiations on this end of the table had ended and Konoha had to leave and receive word on the results while simultaneously preparing for a representative from Kumo to come in the near future.
XxX
After hunting down all of the people that he had ended up getting on good terms with during his stay in Kumo and saying goodbye, Naruto and his team set out for home, with Homura once again in a carriage that was steered by Genma.
Kotetsu yawned as he kept in pace with the carriage rolling down the paths, "Man, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I miss gate duty."
Naruto snickered to himself, "Well you do tend to feel fondness for things that you do well, I guess you would miss that job huh?"
Kotetsu glared at the blonde boy, "Hey, don't knock gate duty. It's a steady, easy job, your friends can come and talk to you when they want to, you get the gossip from all of the good missions firsthand and before anyone else, and the people watching is amazing."
Izumo looked over at Naruto, "So Naruto, are you going to try and join Anbu? From what I've heard and from what I've seen you might not be too bad at it."
Naruto held back the urge to roll his eyes, 'Baa-chan won't let me do it. Oh well, it's not like I need to jump back into the direct murdering of people yet, as long as I keep getting strong enough for those Akatsuki losers then I'll be fine. Whatever happens, happens, just like the fox says.' Turning to answer his partner's question he smiles, "I'm in no rush. I'm only thirteen, unless you want another Itachi-esque prodigy to rise up so you can say you worked with me when I get famous."
Izumo and Kotetsu snorted with laughter and even Genma cracked a smile from his place on the carriage, "Whatever you say kid."
Naruto grinned to himself, 'Yeah… things will get hectic enough all on their own. I'm in no real rush…'
