They were in their apartment, sleeping. Naruto was still awake, thinking about how Furious Orochimaru will be. He honestly wasn't really worried though. He was happy he learned a new trick. And he can be more useful during fights. His tail and ears went away and me laid back and smiled.

"I wonder how impressed Kakashi will be...?" Naruto mumbled and fell asleep.

In the early morning Tsunade and Jirayah woke up. Soon after Shizune did too. Naruto remained asleep. And Jirayah had to wake him.

"Come on Naruto wake up." Jirayah shook him.

"Five more minutes mom..." he mumbled.

Naruto instantly shot up after saying that and braced himself for pain but soon realised she was dead, and Jirayah was the one shaking him. Naruto calmed down and held his hand on his chest, breathing with relief.

"I'm up." Naruto stretched and rubbed his eyes.

"That was certainly something." Tsunade said.

Naruto looked at her and stood. He coughed and felt a little sick. Naruto groaned and reached into his bag and took some medicine. He packed everything and was ready to head back home.

"Lets go. The village needs you." Jirayah said and they walked out.

They walked out of the town and towards the hidden leaf. Naruto was happy skipping and climbing into trees to burn off his excitment. He walked along the path a bit ahead of the others, smiling. Tsunade grew confused.

"Where is his tail?" She asked.

"He can summon and get rid of them willingly. Its a side effect of having the Nine tails." Jirayah spoke.

"So he is the Jinchuriki?" She asked looking at him.

"Yeah. Try not to yell or get aggressive towards him. Also try to avoid calling him monster or freak...it is a triggering subject. He also was raised badly by Kushina." Jirayah explained.

"Kushina?" Tsunade said in disbelief. "Isn't she the nicest woman like, ever?" Tsunade asked.

"She was. After she lost Minato she became an alcoholic and began beating Naruto, taking her anger out on him. She would beat his stomach everyday not letting the bruises heal. Those whisker like marks wasn't there at birth you know...She carved that into his face." Jirayah looked at Naruto with a sad expression.

"Oh my god." She gasped softly. "That's awful." She said.

"He has also been living in fear, but he hides it. Kakashi fills me in on everything. Naruto is being bothered by Orochimaru and was even marked by the curse mark. But it's gone. I think Orochimaru removed it. I heard word from Kakashi he marked Sasuke instead but Naruto carved the mark out of Sasuke's neck with a Kunai. I heard he was swallowed whole by a snake but was able to cuthos way out. This all happened during the exams." Jirayah stated.

Tsunade looked at Naruto with shocked eyes.

"Recently he was kidnapped by the Akatsuki. Two of them. They wanted him as a slave until they coukd get the demon out and kill him." Jirayah said.

"Poor boy. How is he still, happy?" She asked.

"He got himself guts. He looks up even when he is down. I admire that factor of him. He is able to push events behind him." Jirayah smiled softly.

They walked out into an open field, sticking to the path they were on. Naruto looked around and let the nice breeze blow him into the grass. Naruto chuckled and stood and continued walking. He looked around and felt a little bit watched. He suddenly stopped and looked around. His face tubing serious instantly.

Jirayah and Tsunade felt the feeling too. Shizune set her pig down and she looked around ready to defend Tsunade. Just then a cloud of smoke formed in front of Naruto and Naruto gasped and back flipped away from it, now in front of Jirayah, Shizune, and Tsunade. The cloud fully vanished and Jirayah growled. Tsunade narrowed her eyes. And Naruto grew nervou but his it under his bravery.

There stood Orochimaru, and Kabuto. Orochimaru's eyes set themselves on Noruto and Orochimaru pretended to be sad.

"Naruto you failed me...im hurt." He said pretending to have hurt feelings.

"What's he talking about?" Jirayah asked Naruto.

"Nothing. I don't know what he means." Naruto lied.

"I do have to say I'm not happy. You were to make her not become the Hokage." Orochimaru sighed.

"I didn't do anything. She chose this on her own." Naruto growled.

"Looks like I'm going to place my mark." He smirked licking his fangs.

Naruto knew what he ment and snapped. He charged forwards, without thinking. A clone formed and quickly made the Rasengan.

"Naruto wait!" Jirayah dashed after him.

"Stupid kid!" Tsunade dashed forwards as well.

Naruto dodged the touch and blade of Kabuto and slammed his Rasengan into Kabuto and sent him flying backwards.

"YOUR NEXT YOU SNAKE!" Naruto hissed. He made another one but Orochimaru dodged and kicked Naruto back.

Tsunade caught Naruto and Jirayah blasted fire at Orochimaru. Orochimaru got out of the way. And with his good Hand he bit it and drew blood. He then drew a line on a weird mark on his other arm and summoned a huge snake.

Tsunade summoned Katsuyu and Jirayah summoned Cheif toad. The creature Orochimaru summoned was Manda, a giant snake. Naruto stood beside Tsunade and they all eyed Orochimaru. Soon they began to fight an intense battle. A massive battle between the three Legendary Sanin.
