With a snap of his fingers Geno watched as Naruto, who was looking over at himself with surprised eyes, fazed out of the dimensional gap. When the boy was gone completely Geno slowly fell to one knee and held his stomach area as he let out a stress filled groan.

"Huh." He grunted. "I never thought that would take a lot out of me."

After taking a minute to re-cooperate Geno slowly stood back up and put his hood and scarf back over his head and mouth. With a wave of his hand Geno watched as a single television screen appeared out from the darkness and floated in front of him.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground Geno shoved his hands in his coat pockets and watched the television screen. On the monitor was the boy he just sent away. He was in a park, alone, with nothing more than the clothes on his back. Clothes mind you, that still has his blood and a large hole where Sasuke shoved an electric covered hand through.

"Well. I wonder how long it'll take for me to bail him out?"

An hour later of watching Naruto trying to figure out what to do in his new timeline Geno got bored. And a bored Geno is a dangerous Geno. The skeleton took his right hand out of his coat pocket and flicked it. Another TV appeared showing the timeline Naruto had came from. The TV screen is showing a bloody armed Sasuke slowly making his way to the Land of Sound. What really ground his bones is that the little fucker is sadistically grinning at the fact he got the fabled Mangekyo Sharingan out of killing his friend.

Chuckling Geno slowly got to his feet and with another wave of his hand he dismissed the other television.

Sasuke Uchiha. That spoilt little brat doesn't realise he doomed his own timeline with his stunt. If Geno's honest here he would let that timeline end with humanity's destruction. The skeleton saw it all before in other timelines. With Naruto dying there is nothing stopping the return of the Ten-Tails. Without Naruto there is nothing to stop everyone getting trapped in chakra sucking cocoons, and turning into White Zetsus.

Naruto cannot return because that timeline's death god would claim him the second he sets foot there. So it is off limits.

However. That timeline is not off limits to Geno. Which means he can go there and give that Uchiha piece of shit a piece of his mind. Or rather, he can let the people who actually cared for Naruto in Konoha to give the Uchiha brat a taste of his own medicine.

Letting out a throat grumbling chuckle Geno snapped his fingers and teleported out of the dimensional gap. He has a punk little kid to punish.

X.X.X.X

Limping through the trees to his destination is Sasuke Uchiha. A dark haired, dark eyed boy who's wearing a navy blue short-sleeved shirt with a high collar and white shorts. Despite the near defeat he had suffered Sasuke is happy. No, he is not happy, he is more than happy. He is downright ecstatic! With the death of Naruto, he has finally cut away all his ties to Konohagakure. Now his past is finally behind him; he has nothing to keep him there. But that is not the reason why he is filled with so much happiness. His Sharingan has finally become the Mangekyo Sharingan the eyes that his brother used to kill their clan.

Sasuke clenched and unclenched his fists as his dark eyes changed to the red coloured mature Sharingan and then to the styled Mangekyo Sharingan eyes.. "With these eyes, I am now one step closer to fulfilling my ambition!" He monologued to himself, a demented grin spreading across his face.

The grin was wiped off his face when he suddenly froze mid-step. Blinking Sasuke looked down at himself and tried to move. He came to the grim realization that he cannot. His limbs are motionless almost as if they were being held in place by an unseen force.

"Well well well." Sasuke tried to look behind him when he heard an unfamiliar voice. "What do we have here? Heh heh heh heh. It seems I have found a wannabe avenger."

Sasuke growled dangerously as his head turned and twisted trying his damn best to look behind him. "Who are you?! Do you know who I am you filthy pissant?!"

"Yeah. I know who ya' are ya little shit." Sasuke growled angrily at the insult. Then he grunted in confusion when he suddenly got lifted off the ground against his will. Then he finally saw who dared to stop him from getting power.

He is wearing a thick hooded black coat, thick enough for it to be a winter's coat, thick trousers that matched the colours and a pair of black shoes. His hood is worn up and has a tattered red scarf wrapped loosely around this shoulder and neck concealing the lower half of his face from the Uchiha. He has one hand in his coat pocket and the other is held out, pointing directly at the captive Uchiha.

If Sasuke was using his mind rationally instead of thrashing about like a little boy not getting his way, he would have noticed the hand the hooded teen is holding out is skeletal.
"An' truth be told I don't give. A flyin'. Fuck." Geno said. "And as for who I am? Well, ya don't need to know that." He added conclusively with a shrug of his shoulders. With his hand still held out in front of him Geno walked in the opposite direction Sasuke is going and made the bound and immobile Uchiha float after him against his will.

And because Geno is walking in front of him Sasuke isn't able to use his Mangekyo Sharingan on him. Not that he would be able to use it anyway. Sasuke has no experience on using his new and upgraded sharingan nor does he know of any techniques that're included with it. Plus even if he did, he wouldn't be able to use them on Geno because he isn't facing him.

Not to mention he can't use substitution or any of his other techniques because he is unable to move his hands.

"What do you think you're doing!?" Demanded a raging Sasuke. "Release me! Right now!"

Geno let out a loud snort as if Sasuke had said something hilarious. "What? So ya' can go to that wannabe immortal Orochimaru?" Geno laughed out loud at this which caused Sasuke to threateningly growl at him. "No. Ya see, even though this has to benefit to me whatsoever." Then without warning whatsoever Geno brought his arm down. The change of the gravitational pull had made Sasuke fall to the ground face first. The pre-teen let out a muffled scream of anger as he was dragged across the ground. Then the skeleton raised his hand and Sasuke was floating in the air again, with a dirtied face and a bloody nose. "I'm goin' to bring ya' back to Konoha. I'm preeeetty sure that everyone else back in the Village Hidden by Leaves will by dyin' to see ya' home again, no worse for wear."

Hearing that a now desperate Sasuke tried to use his mutated sharingan to try and force his escape.

"Oh. Before I forget."

Suddenly a de-hooded Geno is in front of an alarmed Sasuke. The Uchiha was not expecting to see his captor is in fact an eye glowing skeleton under his hood. Before the Uchiha knew what was going on Geno took his remaining hand out of his coat pocket and gouged Sasuke's eyes out of their sockets.

"AAAAHHHHHHH!" The eyeless Sasuke screamed out. His screams of agony shocked the birds off their branches and could be heard for miles.

His fingers bloody Geno looked at the eyes for a brief moment before dropping them on the ground and crushing them under his heel. Afterwards he burned them until there was nothing left.

"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" Now that he is blinded Sasuke has nothing to rely on except for his hearing.

"Oh put a sock in it ya loud mouthed bastard." Sasuke's mouth was then stuffed with an actual sock, followed by a tape taping his mouth shut to ensure he doesn't spit the piece of clothing out. Creation Of All Things is a really useful technique. "'An eye for an eye' as people say. But in this case' ya paid with two eyes." He leaned forward until his mouth is next to Sasuke's head. "After all; you deserve it for killing me." Geno growled angrily into Sasuke ear causing him to pause his struggling in shocked disbelief before he growled in angered rage.

"Yhur Narhuo!?" He tried to yell out, then he remembered seeing Naruto's skull staring right at him before he plucked his eyes out.

Now that his identity is revealed Geno can now speak as he normally would. "Yeah, you little shit. I'm Naruto. But I go by 'Geno' now. Anyway, getting you to Konoha should take us about five seconds. I just knoooow Grandma-Tsunade is dying to get her hands on you."

Geno continued walking in the direction to Konohagakure with the now blinded Sasuke floating after him. But as Geno and Sasuke moved along the dirt path, the air in front of them rippled like water before it split in two; like a human sized hole in the air. Geno and an unwilling Sasuke vanished as they made their way into it with the hole sealing itself up behind them.

X.X.X.X

There is an air of depression within the boundaries of Konohagakure. The mission to retrieve a deserting Sasuke had ended in failure. The teams had suffered minor to major injures; one Choji was near death when he had been recovered. Neji had suffered severe injures. Shikamaru had just a self-inflected dislocated finger. Both Kiba and Akamaru had non-threatening injures.

There was only one person who hadn't been recovered as of yet, Naruto Uzumaki.
Their condition would have been much worse' if it weren't for the timely intervention of Gaara and his siblings Temari and Kankuro and Rock lee. But despite the aid, the recovery team had suffered injures and were worried Naruto is going to be in a similar condition as them.

Tsunade, Shizune, and several medical-ninjas' were on field. Given the state of the retrieval team upon arrival it had been a wise decision on Tsunade's end.

The moment of truth came when, nearly two hours later, they saw a slowly walking Kakashi with a seemingly unconscious Naruto in his arms. They were at first relieved. But as the experienced Jonin approached everyone noticed something was wrong.

Tsunade had a sinking feeling in her stomach as the grey haired man came closer. He looked completely devastated. Defeated even. And Naruto's, the boy that wormed his way into her heart, is seemingly unconscious. But he wasn't breathing and there is a lot of dried blood on his chest where his heart should be.

Tsunade's eyes were wide with disbelief and grief as the realization settled in.

"No..." Refusing to believe what is in front of her Tsunade ran to meet Kakashi in the middle. Hoping beyond hope that Naruto is okay and not what she think he is.
"Lady Tsunade!" Shizune quickly ran after her.

Upon reaching Kakashi, Tsunade saw the one she came to see as a grandson is unhealthily pale. His upper chest is completely covered in blood that is mixed with water. And where his heart should be is a fist sized hole.

Tsunade stared at Naruto's body with grief. No! Not again! She thought he would be the one to break the damn curse on the necklace! Instead, it claimed another person close to her!
With gritted teeth Tsunade tore her eyes away from the deceased boy and gave Kakashi a hard stare. "Report, Jonin Kakashi."

"I reached the Valley of the End too late, Lord Hokage." Kakashi began. His tone flat. He sounds as if he had simply given up on the world, now that the last link to his mentor is gone. "From what I could see...Naruto and Sasuke had engaged in combat, and, Naruto...had fallen in his attempt to bring Sasuke back by force. Sasuke on the other hand was long gone by the time I got there, and the rain washed away his scent and trail. I was unable to track him."

Tsunade clenched her hands into fists until her knuckles went white. Inhaling through her teeth the Hokage told Kakashi to bring the body to the hospital and to give her a written report detailing what he had seen at the Valley of the end. The Jonin nodded affirmatively and slowly made his way past the woman and ignored everyone that is staring.

Those who had gotten to know Naruto were stunned and in complete shock when they saw his body carried by a depressed Kakashi. No one took it harder than Sakura herself; she felt horrible for this. The promise that Naruto made to her had gotten himself killed.

Of course being the lovestruck person she is Sakura refused to believe Sasuke had done this murder entirely of his own will. She thought he had been pressured into killing Naruto.
Then to the alarm of everyone in the vicinity a rift suddenly opened up behind the gate to the Hidden village. Kakashi is a good distance away from it, so he didn't see it. Casually walking out of it is Geno, his hood and scarf is still down allowing everyone see his skull and his blood covered skeletal hands. Following out after him is the floating and gagged Sasuke who still has blood running from his closed eye-sockets.

"See! I told you getting here would take about 5 seconds." Geno said with fake enthusiasm; he looks completely laid back and uncaring.

"ILL KIR YUH!" Sasuke tried to yell; the sock in his mouth muffled his voice. If he could he would sooo make Geno burn for the transgressions done against him! This pissant took his eyes. He brought him back to the very place he intended on defecting! Stopped him from getting the more power and the training he needed to defeat and kill his brother Itachi!

"You sound like a broken record Sasuke." Geno chuckled, though there was no amusement in it. He slowly brought his arm down bringing Sasuke down to the ground. Geno ignored the pained grunt the duck-butt haired teen let out as he added, "Plus even if you were to try ya won't be able to. You have no eyes."

At first the ninja and kunoichi at the gate thought there is an illusion around the skeleton to hide his true features from them. However, when they tried to dispel it, they quickly came to the realization that the skeleton is actually a skeleton. Not an illusion.

"What are you?"

Geno looked at the person that spoke. Tsunade Senju. The Fifth Hokage of Konohagakure. The woman had a hard look on her face as she glared at the gagged and bloody-eyes Sasuke, although her watery eyes betrayed her.

"Well." Geno looked himself over. "From what I remember I'm a Revenant." He said. Everyone could hear the words coming from Geno. But they didn't see his mouth moving.

Tsunade narrowed her eyes. "And what, prey tell, is a Revenant?" She asked as eyes followed the skeleton as he got down on one knee and wiped his fingers against the ground to wipe the blood off them.

Geno chuckled as he stood back up and put his left hand in his front coat pocket. He didn't see the harm in telling Tsunade a small part of what he is. Or to mind fuck a certain pink haired girl.

"A Revenant is a person who came back to life to do a specific purpose. Of course each person resurrected has a different reason. Be it vengeance. Revenge. Tormentation. Or keeping a promise to someone." He said, as he reached his last words he looked directly at Sakura who's blood drained from her face at the implication.

But the skeleton couldn't be him! He is much, much taller! Not to mention she saw the body just minutes ago!

"Now." Geno looked down at the eyeless Sasuke and raised his right hand. Sasuke was lifted up against his will until his feet were dangling from the ground. "I believe this little murderer is yours." He said as he looked up to Tsunade. With a jerk of his wrist Sasuke was sent into the arms of a random jonin.

Sasuke had long at this point given up on trying to escape. He didn't struggle when he felt himself get grabbed. He didn't struggle when he felt the pressure on his arms and legs vanish. He just lay there and let it happen.

Seeing Naruto's murderer now in their gasp Tsunade was quick to act. She pointed at the man holding Sasuke and said commandingly, "You! Lock the brat up and get his chakra sealed. He won't be getting away from his punishment." The ninja nodded and rushed to take Sasuke to his cell. "And clean him up too!" She quickly added when the man took to the roofs.

Seeing Sakura slowly making her way over to him Geno turned his head to look at her. She had a desperate look on her face. Her eyes searching.

"Are you Naruto?" She asked, the pink haired girl had a suspicion but she needed to confirm it. Her question to Geno had brought her looks of disbelief from others.

Geno is amused. He tiled his head to the side. "I believe you already know the answer to that question Sakura." This reply had made Sakura stare at him with a gaping mouth and disbelieving eyes. He put his remaining hand into his coat pocket and looked over his shoulder. Without a word Geno turned around and walked away.
"Wait! Where are you going?"

Without stopping his stride he replied. "Away."

"You can't just go!" The pink haired girl is staring at Geno's back with a look of desperation. Looking like she is about to run after him.

"I can and I will."

Having enough Tsunade yelled, "Sakura enough!" As the girl turned to look at the buxom woman, the Hokage couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the distressful look on the girls face.
"Lady Tsunade, you don't understand-"

"And what don't I understand?" The woman interrupted with a deep frown.

Sakura's desperate look, quickly bled to one of impatience. She pointed at the still walking Geno, who finally stopped mid-stride when she yelled with exasperation and fierceness.

"That's Naruto!"

Her outburst had given Sakura looks of disbelief and pity. However those who thought Naruto is the Nine-Tails in human form were looking at Geno's back with suspicion in their eyes, and found he is putting his hood up over his head while adjusting his scarf so the bottom half of his face is concealed.

Tsunade opened her mouth; but before she could she anything she was interrupted by a chuckling Geno and found he had turned halfway to look at them from over his shoulder. With his hood covering his head and scarf covering the bottom half of his face she felt a chill run down her spine. For some reason him having his hood and scarf covering his head and face made him more scary looking.

Sakura didn't care for this however and took a step forward. "It is isn't it? You're Naruto."
Geno didn't say anything for a short while. He merely gazed at the assembled crowd from under his hood, which has grown bigger within the past few minutes. He saw the majority of the crowd is made up of ninjas, ranking Chunin and up. He could see a large group of ANBU taking to the rooftops, thinking they'd remain unseen to everyone but him.

The atmosphere started to grow tense the more the silence dragged on. And just when it was about to reach its breaking point Geno spoke. Figuratively putting everyone on the edge of their seat.

"Hmm. Well. I don't wanna toot my own horn, but, uh, yeah, Naruto is my name; but I haven't gone by that name for a long, long time." He shrugged as if it were no big deal. Which to him it wasn't. "But yeah. I'm Naruto."

It was here that Geno heard a vaguely familiar stammering voice. "W-w-w-hat happened to you?"
Looking in the direction the voice came from Geno saw it came from Hinata. Poor, poor timid Hinata.

Geno took his hands out of his coat pockets to, unknowingly for everyone else, mockingly look at them. "Well. I'm pretty sure I died. Getting your heart and a large part of your lung liquidized tends to do that." He answered as he shoved his hands back inside his coat pockets, while making sure to put a lot of emphasis on his last word.

Suddenly at the unspoken signal of Tsunade several ANBU ranked ninja appeared, surrounding Geno and completely blocking off any escape route for him. Not that will stop him anyway.

"Really? You are seriously going to do this?" He asked as he looked directly at Tsunade. Her expression is blank but her eyes conveyed everything. "You know what? Fine. I get it. You're the Hokage; you're meant to make the hard choices. Even if it goes against your morals."

He didn't blame her at all for doing this. Tsunade is the leader. She alone is responsible for the safety of Konohagakure no Sato. It is her responsibility to protect it from inside and outside threats. And to her Geno is an unknown that is claiming to be a boy who has recently died. A Jinchuuriki.

He also showed a power never been seen before and has brutalised a defecting shinobi. Sasuke may be a little shit but even he cannot deny that the Sharingan is an asset. Despite his eyes getting plucked out he can still birth more babies. So the Uchiha still has a use to Konoha there.

Geno shrugged and straightened his back and just like that his entire demeanour changed. Going from laid back to serious and alert. "But if you think I'm going to just let you do this without repercussions? You are sorely mistaken."

"Naruto! No one has to get hurt." Sakura told him, hoping to make him see sense.

Geno took her words into consideration. "...You're right. No one has to get hurt." He replied in acknowledgement. "So that's why I am going to take the initiative."

Turning his wrist around so his fingers is facing the sky, Geno flicked his digits and suddenly, all of the ANBU surrounding Geno were incapacitated; their bodies had sunk into the earth like quicksand against their will leaving only their heads above ground. Second Tsunade commanded everyone to capture Geno; they responded and attempted to subdue the skeleton with sheer numbers alone. Third a rift opened up behind Geno who held his hand out in front of him and made everyone freeze in mid-run before sharply motioning the limb downwards and making everyone in the area slam to the ground as the gravity worked against them.

Lastly Geno leapt back into the rift which sealed itself the second the skeleton was completely through.

X.X.X.X

Geno felt his feet touch solid ground upon entering the dimensional gap. He closed the rift with a snap of his fingers and turned to face the television screen that is still displaying the world he had been to.

He dismissed the T.V and brought out the other one that is overlooking the time line he had placed the kid who had died. As he did this he put his hood and scarf back over his head and mouth.

"Now. Let's see how long you have until those pesky supernatural beings finally take notice of you."
