Let us begin shall we?

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Kan'u had just gotten out of her school. She wanted to go visit Koukin and see how he was doing. She was unable to see him the past few days since Naruto was attacked by Ryofu. She finally came to his house and saw him going in. She whistled at him to get his attention'

"Koukin over here." She waved. Koukin looked back and saw a very happy Kan'u He waved back and she ran over and hugged him. Koukin was happy to see Kan'u after a few days. He bowed his head in greeting her. She giggled and asked for entrance which was granted willingly.

"I love your house Koukin. It is rather spacious for one such as you." She comment as she ran her finger through the curtains.

"Thank you Kan'u. So what brings you here?" Koukin asked.

"Do I need a reason to see you Koukin?" She blushed. She hid the real reason for her visit today. "I wanted just to visit you."

"Oh.....Hey have you heard from Hakufu yet. She, Ryomou and Naruto got out and they want to talk to us. I am heading over to Ryomou's right now."

"Would you mind if I accompanied you Koukin?" She held her hand out for added persuasion. Koukin nodded and took her hand in.

"I would like that very much Kan'u." He let go of her hand and they walked back out. All the while Kan'u would not stop staring at Koukin. She really wanted to tell him how she felt about him. It was killing her inside knowing Koukin never knew how he felt about him. A confession entered her mind. "Koukin.....if only I could tell you why I came over to see you...ever since I saw you injured when Ryofu attacked Naruto I was afraid of losing you back then. I wanted to tell you I wanted to be around you. But I can never have the courage to tell you exactly how I felt. For now I am content with just admiring you from afar."

"Kan'u have you heard anything from Naruto since the tournament. I heard about his victory over Toutaku."

"Yes...evidently he is known around here as the fox of Nanyo."

"Yeah.....Also he has found others like him. Two girls who claim to be from where Naruto was and suffer amnesia as well."

"Oh? I would like to meet them. Maybe they may have some things about Naruto that he has yet to know himself."

"I hope for his sake...Here you go in first." He opened the passenger seat of his pimped out two door Mazda Rx-7. "Your such a gentleman Koukin. Thank you." She tried her best to hide her red face as she entered the car. Koukin had already caught her face as red as a tomato. A thought had entered his mind as well. "Kan'u Unchou.....when are you gonna ask me out...I know about your feelings but I want YOU to say them. Jeez I am beginning to think she is just teasing me." He went in to the driver seat and they were on their way to Ryomou's to find out what was to become of blond boy. At Ryomou's Hakufu had placed herself on Naruto's lap as he had a shadow clone teach his Rasengan to Ukitsu who had snuck in without Ryomou noticing. Ryomou was going to kill her for breaking and entering but Naruto spared her life and she was able to live for another day. Naruto had tried to have her gather chi energy. The only problem was that Ukitsu was unable to as she lacked the ability to use chi power. This saddened her. The Naruto then had an idea.

"Maybe you can use chakra Ukitsu."

"Really....how do I do that?"

"It's the force of energy from deep within you. You need to be able to feel it. It's the combination of your life energy and he energy of your spirit."

"Okay how do I gather it?"

"Try making a hand sign. Like this." He put his hands together to form the ram hand sign. He closed his eyes and swirling chakra was forming around him. It intensified every time he shouted. He broke his concentration and relaxed himself. "Now you try."

"Here goes." She copied Naruto's ram hand sign and began to focus on gathering the energy around her.

"You need to be able to feel for it. It should just come to you. Focus on the life energy inside you and then combine it with the energy around you. Then poof you have produced chakra."

"Okay...Here I go...HAAAAAAA!" She closed her eyes and concentrated on the noises around her. She could here the birds singing around her. She could her people talking in the distance. She focused on the energy around as best she could. Then she felt a sensation deep inside her. She concentrated on that and a blue aura was seen around her. She concentrated on that more and next thing Naruto saw was a sphere of blue energy streaks emanating from Ukitsu. She gave out a loud yell and made the energy start to rotate around her. She kept her focus and the energy began to rotate faster and faster. Naruto clapped his hands in approval of Ukitsu new acquired energy source.

"That's good for now. Very good Ukitsu you have now gained the use to chakra. Now we can start training on Rasengan."

"YAY!?!?!?! Thank you master Naruto. I knew you were a great master."

"Eheheh well I did learn from some of the best." As he said the comment he saw the real Naruto get up and walk over to Ukitsu and patted her head. Hakufu stood next to and sighed at the way he should compassion to others. Ukitsu bowed at Naruto and resumed her training with chakra. The clone poofed away leaving Naruto with Ukitsu trying to further control her chakra and Hakufu leading him away back to the patio and sitting next to him.

"Naruto you think you can teach me how to use chakra?"

"Well the thing is you wield chi power. Ukitsu doesn't and I still don't know about how well chakra reacts to chi. All I know is that the results are usually catastrophic."

"Oh....well at least you can show me how to use Rasengan."

"I will. When I get Ukitsu up to speed on her chakra control I will start training you two."

"yay...thanks darling." She gave him a bear hug causing him to choke on his own breath. Hakufu seeing this immediately let him go and just took his hand in hers.

"You know I never fought you before Naruto....Maybe when you want to we can do a little sparring."

"Yeah....maybe we can....how about now?"

"Not right now Naruto we still have to get your dilemma figured out. I already called Koukin. He is on his way here. Also I called the hotel where Sakura and Hinata were staying and they will be here shortly." Ryomou spoke from the inside. Hakufu was a bit disappointed about this but let it go.

"Okay....well maybe next time Hakufu."

"Okay sweety." They got up and Naruto turned over to Ukitsu who was getting used to wielding chakra. "Hey Ukitsu. that's good enough for today we gotta get inside."

"Okay master Naruto I am coming." She broke concentration and ran inside the house with Hakufu and Naruto following in toe. When they went inside Naruto Ukitsu and Hakufu sat on either side of Naruto as he sat and looked at Ryomou who had her eyes closed.

"What are you thinking about sensei."

"Naruto......I normally would not even THINK about this but.....Naruto do you have HER number?"

"What....you mean R-"

"Don't say it.....The mere mention of her name makes my blood boil."

"I do sensei. Why do you ask?"

"Call her....Tell her to come over here and explain the plan of hers exactly." Ryomou shuddered at the notion of Ryofu coming into her house. Naruto took out his phone and dialed Ryofu's number.

"Hey Ryofu it's me..........Naruto............Yeah Ryomou wants yo to get over here and explain that suggestion you mentioned to me and two days ago............yeah I'll be here..........I am not alone I have Hakufu, Ryomou and Ukitsu too............yeah..........see you then.......I.......I hate it when you say that............yeah well....You know what just get over here." He hung up and just pouted to himself. Hakufu looked at him questioningly.

"What did she say to you Naruto?"

"She is on her way right now....She should be here in about 5 or 10 minutes." As if to prove him wrong a knocking was heard from the outside. Ryomou shouted at the door "IT'S OPEN YOU CAN ENTER." He sighed when he saw Koukin and Kan'u walk in. Kan'u and Koukin walked over to Ryomou and greeted her.

"Nice to see you again Ryomou....Naruto nice to see you again as well." She turned and waved at him. Naruto smiled and waved back at her.

"Nice to see you too Kan'u...Koukin nice to see you."

"Likewise Naruto...now what is it that you wanted to talk to us about?" Koukin asked getting straight to the point. Ryomou turned her attention and cleared her throat.

"We are gonna discuss a plan to get Naruto back to his world and get his memories back." she nodded.

"I see....okay then lets get started then."

"not yet....we are still waiting for someone to get there."

"Who Ryomou?"

"Me of course." They all turned around to see Ryofu leaning against the door. Koukin and Kan'u immediately took a fighting stance and were ready to defend themselves. Ryofu just raised her hand. "Hey I am not here to start a fight now. I just wanted to talk."

"What makes you think we will allow you to speak around us bitch?"

"Kan'u I called her over...She is here to help us." Naruto stood up to defend Ryofu. Kan'u and Koukin turned around and raised in eyebrow at him.

"Yeah so drop the protective sister act I am just here to help you guys. So are we all here?"

"No Ryofu we need to wait for Sakura and Hinata." Naruto stated, Ryofu nodded and forced her way to where Naruto was sitting. She placed herself right on top of Naruto earning an evil glare from Hakufu. She immediately Stood and stomped her foot in protest.

"Excuse me Missy what are you doing on top of Naruto?"

"I am just showing some love to my man...Jealous?"

"HE IS MY BOYFRIEND YOU BITCH! GET OFF OF HIM OR I'LL KNOCK YOUR TEETH OUT!"

"Well well...aren't we protective...Naruto is she really your girlfriend?"

"Uhhhhh Well....It's a long story Ryofu....a REALLY long story."

"So I take that as a no then?"

"HE IS MYYYY BOYFRIEND SO GET THE HELL OFF OF HIM RYOFU!" Hakufu tried to pry her off of Naruto. Ryofu would not budge at all.

"Get....off.....of.....him.....you......slut."

"Naruto sweety pie did you hear a voice?"

"Hakufu is trying to pry you off of me.....actually I am inclined to ask you to also..your kinda choking the life out of me." Ryofu saw that he was kinda turning blue. "Oh....well let me loosen my grip a bit."

"RYOFUUUUUUUU!" Hakufu was in between Naruto and Ryofu and separated them. She then grabbed Naruto and pulled him toward. Ryomou just sighed at the one sided cat fight.

"Ryofu look what you started now..You just can't control yourself can you?" Kan'u glared and Ryofu as well. "Shameless as always you lewd woman."

"Oh please keep talking you two at least I got mine...I don't see you showing your affection to pretty boy over there." Ryofu motioned over to Koukin who looked at Kan'u. She turned and blushed away. "Um......well..Your wrong..it's not like that Ryofu." Koukin nodded as if to agree with her. "Yeah Ryofu it's not that way at all." He waved his hands from left to right. Ryofu just sighed at Kan'u. Ryomou was about to cuss her out but the door flung opened and in came Sakura and Hinata.

"Hello?" They both said in unison. They all looked at the two and waved at them. Hinata saw Naruto and blushed bright red. "Ummm......H-h-h-h-hello N-N-N-N-Naruto."

"Hey Hinata hey Sakura." Naruto greeted Sakura waved at Naruto. "Hey Naruto." When she looked over at Koukin she just struck with a feeling. She did not know what came over her. a thought entered her mind.

"Oh......my.......wow....what's this feeling.......wow...he's......wow........I.......wow....just wow......who is he?" Sakura went to Koukin and asked about the boy.

"Ummm....I don't think we have met....I am Sakura...Sakura Haruno.....what's yours?"

"Koukin....Koukin Shuuryu." She sighed and went tomato red. "Koukin........wow.......Oh Koukin......I think cupid just hit my heart.......wow......I could just stare at you forever."
Kan'u saw how Sakura was looking at Koukin and stamped her spear to the ground making her snap out of her daze. "Excuse me Sakura....what are you staring at?"

"Oh......uhhh...nothing....I am sorry I just dozed off for a second..anyway Hinata let's join in." Hinata went and took her place next to Ryofu who was just staring at Hakufu clinging to Naruto. Ryomou clapped her hands and got everyone's attention.

"Now that we are done with our petty arguments lets get down to why we are all here...Ryofu.....take the floor." She motioned Ryofu to stand up and get in front of her audience. She cleared her throat. "Okay...we all know that we need to find out how we are gonna get Blondie and his friends back to their world right?" They all nodded in unison.

"And we all know that Naruto and this Itachi guy is the key to figuring out how we do that right?" They nodded again in unison.

"Good....so the way I see it what I suggest that we do is find him and get him to get you three back home. We have to scour all of Tokyo to search for this guy. I think as need to split into cells and search each district."

"Good idea but we don't know what he looks like." Naruto stated, Ryofu just shook her head and smirked. "You don't babe but they do." She pointed at Sakura and Hinata.

"We were with him a good while so I remember his face." Sakura was in agreement with Ryofu's deduction. Hinata also nodded and raised her hand. "Umm Ryofu....how are we going to find him?"

"My dear Hinata I am glad you asked. We are going to split up into two groups. I, you, Naruto, Ryomou and Ukitsu will take the downtown and shopping district. Sakura,Koukin, Kan'u and Hakufu are gonna scout out uptown and the financial district. Do you get it?"

"Y-y-y-yes Ryofu....I understand."

"Then we are all in agreement in this right?" As Ryofu spoke Hakufu raised her hand. "I want to be in Naruto's group please."

"Hakufu as much as I want to grant your request there is a reason why I wanted this arrangement. You see each team needs a powerhouse. You are a strong toushi so you are an asset to your team. Naruto is also as strong as you are if not stronger so he can help us if need be, and besides I want to spend time with loverboy and you would just distract him." She giggled earning a spiteful look from Hakufu. "Grrrr.....you just want to rape him.....I am warning you if you lay one finger on him I will ram this fist straight through your fake tits."

"I'd like to see you try....but let's leave that for another time right now we need to move...I have my cell..Kan'u you have yours as well. Call me if you find him."

"Hmph....who died and made you leader?"

"Do you really want to start with this...Jeez is it cause I swing both ways?"

"You are not fit to be leader...I think that this should be left to Naruto to decide." Ryofu turned to Naruto and winked at him. "Well Naruto....you like my plan right?"

"I think it's a solid one but I also think we need to stop talking and get going." He put his fist into his palm. Ryofu just giggled. "I love that about you..always eager to work hard....God I'm so hot for you." She ran her tongue across her lips, Hinata and Hakufu stomped their feet at the same time. "YOU CAN'T SAY THAT TO NARUTO." Hinata and Hakufu turned to each other. Ryofu just had a look of a slight look of surprise and satisfaction."Hinata.....well well...." She looked hard at her. Hinata just turned away and hid her face. Ryofu had a thought enter her mind. "Hinata also has a thing for Blondie.....looks like this just got interesting....I have to step up my game. I just got some competition for his chastity." She smirked at the prospect of having to fight two girls for Naruto. Ryomou got up and clapped he hands again to gain the attention.

"Alright we can argue about who likes who later, Right now we have to get going. every second we spend is a second Itachi slips away from us." They all nodded and each split into their respective teams. They got out of the house. Koukin had Sakura and Hakufu enter his car while Kan'u had entered in the passenger side. Ryofu had her car parked outside. "Okay then..you guys ready to kick ass?"

"Let's do it." Naruto raised his fist on enthusiasm. Hinata nodded and blushed at a pumped up Naruto. Ryomou just smirked. "Let's get to it." Ryofu opened the driver side and got in. "Who calls shotgun?" Naruto was the first to respond. "ME ME ME ME ME ME ME!" Ryofu giggled again. "Easy killer. Get in here. You guys c'mon in, Daylights burning." Hinata ,Ukitsu, and Ryomou got in and Naruto's team sped off to downtown Tokyo.

Elsewhere

Itachi, Kaku and Toutaku are waiting at a park. Toutaku had heard everything about Naruto and was fully aware of the fox demon inside of him. He even took it upon himself to ask if he knew anything about someone else with his eyes, Kaku was equally interested.

"So Itachi....I was wondering.....Do you have anyone else who has those eyes like you?" Toutaku asked

"That is none of your business."

"Oh.....well I think you should be more respectful when you talk." Itachi just stared at him. "You should be aware of how you speak Toutaku..I don't need to show any amount of honor to you or the woman....I could just as easily have you kill yourself with just a stare from my eyes."

"Really.....like you can do that." Just then he saw darkness envelope him. He saw himself kneeling on his knees. He then saw Itachi with a katana in his hand. He gasped as he could not move to save himself. When Itachi thrusted the blade into Toutaku he gave out a loud yell and held his head. He opened his eyes and saw he was back at the park. Kaku was shocked and scared beyond belief. He stared at Itachi who just looked back at them both. "You have no idea of the power of the Sharingan." He just gritted and thought about what just happened.

"Was that genjutsu magic?.....he must be like Saji Genpou...she uses genjutsu magic as well.....but she doesn't use those eyes."

"What are you Itachi Uchiha?" He asked as Itachi just activated his Mangekyo Sharingan. "I am just a man who has been through hell. So they decided to send me back." Kaku went over and held Toutaku. Kaku also wondered about Itachi's eyes. "His eyes.....what exactly are they capable of? The Sharingan must be a powerful eye technique..I have never heard of eyes and can cast genjutsu magic the way he did."

"Toutaku...he will be here soon...we must prepare for when he finally gets here. When I obtain the power of the nine tailed fox you will receive what is coming to you. A part time membership to Akatsuki and complete and absolute power."

"This Akatsuki..what exactly is their purpose for using the nine tailed fox."

"The time will come when you will be aware of leaders true purpose...For now we must ready ourselves..Chances are he will not be alone."

"Right....this time I will have my revenge on that worthless insect." Kaku cracked her knuckles. Toutaku just snickered to himself.

"When he gets here he's as good as mine...This'll teach you to mess with the devil of the west."

To Kan'u's team

Kan'u and her group scoured the entire district. They had no luck searching uptown and were now scouring the financial area for any sign of the Uchiha. She dialed up her cell and phoned Naruto. Naruto picked up and answered promptly

"Hello?"

"Naruto is it I Kan'u...how are you doing at your end?" She asked.

"Not good...downtown is clean. We are gonna search the shopping area..you?"

"Nothing at uptown. We have just begun our search and are going to scour the park in the financial district.

"You think he might have just vanished without a trace?"

"I do not know Naruto. In any case we will meet you there if nothing turns up."

"Okay. Call me if you get anything at all."

"Understood Naruto...Good bye." She hung up. Sakura approached Kan'u and patter her shoulder. "Who did you call Kan'u?"

"Naruto..he has had no luck at his end.....I think we should keep searching until we at least have a lead."

"Got it. Koukin anything." She turned to him. He just shook his head. "Nothing Sakura...and Hakufu has yet to find any clue too."

"Damn....Kan'u what do we do?"

"We can't give up now. Naruto would not give up so easily. We must press on for his sake." Sakura and Koukin nodded. Hakufu raised her fist in excitement.

"Yeah.....Naruto is counting on us to pull through.....Fear not sweety it's Hakufu to the rescue." She laughed triumphantly. Kan'u, Koukin and Sakura just had a sweat drop from the back of their heads.

"Koukin is she always like this?"

"Yes...unfortunately."

"Koukin you must be embarrassed about her." Kan'u sighed

"You have no idea Kan'u.....You have no idea." they just kept on with their search.

To Naruto's team

Naruto and Hinata had just got done with the southern part of the shopping area. Naruto had praised Hinata for using her Byakugan and she blushed at his appraisal. Ryomou ahd Ukitsu met up with Naruto and Hinata. Ryofu was spotted and also met with the rest of the group.

"Anything on your side guys?" Ryofu asked

"Nothing..and I even used Byakugan." Ryofu looked at Hinata questioningly. "Byaku what now?"

"My Byakugan. I can seen through objects and see chakra inside people." She stated. This made Ryofu hatch a scheme "Hey Hinata use that Byakugan over here." She pointed to Naruto's direction. She obliged and activated her eyes. "Byakugan." She had vein surround her eyes and only saw Naruto's chakra network and then Ryofu. She gasped at the fact the Ryofu had no chakra network but a different flow of energy flowing inside her. She deactivated and asked Ryofu about her strange energy network. "Ryofu you have no chakra Network.....how is that possible?"

"I don't use chakra like loverboy and you honey. Me and Ryomou use chi energy."

"What about Ukitsu?"

"I can't use chi...but use those eyes on me this time." Hinata nodded and reactivated her Byakugan and saw that Ukitsu indeed possessed a chakra network. "Ukitsu you have a network...are you a shinobi?"

"Nope...master Naruto taught me how to use this chakra so he can show me his Rasenthingy!" She gave a peace sign.

"OH.....good then..Let's end our search here and head somewhere else."

"Hey guys..I got a call from Kan'u. She has had no luck at all and wants us to meet her group at a park near them. I say we head over there anyway this place is a dead end." Ryofu just wrapped her arms around Hinata and whispered in her ear. "So did you see anything interesting about Naruto?"

"What?"

"You know...I mean did you see down there?"

"I can only see the chakra network Ryofu. It's a complicated form of X-ray vision."

"Damn....." She cursed herself on the inside "Damn it. I figured maybe I would find out how big Naruto was...oh well I will find out soon as I get a chance." Naruto patted Ryofu's shoulder. She looked at him with eyes half closed.

"What is it love?"

"Let's get going to the park guys...he's not here."

"Okay sweety." She pecked him on the cheek walked over to where she parked the car.

"Okay guys let's get going." Hinata was feeling disturbed about how open Ryofu was with Naruto. "Why does she have to be like that around him...I don't think he likes it when she does that...wait....why am I acting this way?......could it be that I care about Naruto....why am I acting like this?.....someone tell me why."

"Hey x-ray girl get in already we are gonna leave you behind."

"Oh....uuuhhh coming." She ran over to the rest and they sped off to the park.

To the park

Naruto and his group finally made it to the park and found themselves near a fountain view. Ryofu had feeling of foreboding deep inside her gut.

"Guys...do you ever get a feeling like something bad is about to happen.

"Yes Ryofu....I think I should check this place out." Hinata closed her eyes. "BYAKUGAN." She scanned the area and found no trace of a chakra network.

"It's clear...but I can't shake this feeling like we are not here alone." Ryofu closed her eyes and felt a strong presence somewhere near her."Guys...I can sense something near us....." She opened he eyes to see Naruto, Ryomou,Ukitsu and Hinata with a look of shock. Ryofu was confused about why they were staring like that.

"Guys...whats with the look?" She turned her attention to where they were staring and her eyes were caught seeing three figures approaching saw one of then had a long trench coat with red clouds She quickly took out her cell and called Kan'u. Ryofu got an answer from the other side.

"Kan'u?"

"Yes Ryofu what do you want?" She sounded a little angry.

"I think....we found him....get you ass over here right now....."

"We are on our way....don't move."

"Easy for you to say." She hung up to see the man and the two figures now in full view. She saw and grew angry as the other two figures were Toutaku and Kaku. The other figure she did not know. Naruto just stared at Toutaku and Kaku furiously. He was trying to see who was the other man next to them

"Hey....who are you?"

"Naruto Uzumaki...I am saddened...You do not recognize me?"

"How do you know me?"

"My guess is that you must suffer from amnesia."

"ANSWER ME...WHO ARE YOU?" Naruto saw the eyes of the man had and he had another flash episode. He saw himself back at the scene with the man who was going to stab him. he saw the eyes that matched the man's eye. When he came to he saw the man's eyes and just uttered the only thing he could associate those eyes with.

"Sasuke....is that you Sasuke."

"What makes you think I'm Sasuke?"

"Then who are you?" He almost hesitated to ask.

" I....am Sasuke's older brother.....Itachi of the famous Uchiha of the leaf village." He activated his Mangekyo Sharingan."And I have come here for you Naruto...You are going to come with me."
