Naruto pov (still in young body)

I groaned as the light woke me up, I don't know how long I slept for but, I am so rested at the moment.

I sat up looking around my room looking at my dresser table I saw a pile of plates of food.

There were three bowls and six plates, upon closer inspection I could see three days worth of food.

Sighing I stood. Clearly I've slept for a little too long, and dangerously too if ninja leaving me food didn't wake me.

I ran my hand through my now yellow hair and went towards the bathroom to shower taking my shirt off on the way.

In the shower I avoided looking at my scars they were just another thing that I have to make me a freak a monster.

I left the bathroom and dressed into my Naruto sized clothes including kiyoshis jacket. And a pair of knee length shorts, some of my scars were still visable but it wasn't too bad so it didn't matter

I placed my hand on the ground and summoned a fox sized Kurama who ran off to hunt.

Running a hand through my hair I went into the kitchen opened the fridge and began eating an apple.

munching on my apple I looked outside where I could see my team sparring against each other in a battle royal and a crow pecking on the window annoyed.

Taking another bite I did a double take... crow taking a closer look at it I went over and plucked the letter from it.

Itachi and shisui had finally sent contact., I opened the letter and sighed happily

YO NARU-CHAN!, its shisui!

Its been ages since we've spoken, I am so sorry we left the way we did, it was an order as I'm sure you know or figured out.

You better keep training otouto cause I'm with itachi in a group of s rank criminals as I'm sure you found out when u saw itachi, that means I'm getting really strong and if you want to keep being the captain of our team you had better keep being stronger than us.

I am so sorry we left sasuke to you he must be so distraught. Hopefully if he hates us he will be really loyal to the village and he won't be the last uchiha assassinated on the villages orders.

On a side note itachi and I are going strong and he's passed on your message of keeping the white forehead protector, which is silly because you know I would never part with it.

I miss you otouto don't beat yourself up and keep taking care of yourself and sasuke we're counting on you captain

-shisui.

i held in tears as I read the first message from shisui I had had in two years, I smiled and grabbed the other letter which was from itachi.

Captain,

thank you for keeping an eye on sasuke, he needs to be taken care of even if he won't admit it.

I miss you a lot and it really annoys me to take orders from someone else other than you or the crackpot danzo.

Sorry I was getting off track, you better be taking care of yourself naru chan, I know that the first year was tough on you but you didn't have to solo mission so much your name ended up in the bingo book next to the fourth hokage!.

at that I frowned and grabbed the paper at the back and stared and then stared some more, there I was white ninja pants black anbu garb and white forehead protector and all crouching with glowing red eyes and as is looked over the page I paled, there were two pictures on it, one of my naru persona and one of my young naruto side, the book said they weren't sure which one I really was which was a relief but still.

Glancing it over I sighed

I smiled at the mention of our mission to get the future telling orb and continued reading itachis letter.

You need to stay healthy to be our captain, you need to keep training naru, shi-kun and I have gotten a lot stronger since joining so you have to keep up.

we miss you and we await your reply excitedly

- Itachi

I was grateful for the messages and quickly wrote reply to them letting them know who was in our team currently and how things have been going before handing them to the crow summons.

Zabuza walked inside as I grabbed some ramen from the fridge to heat up.

"taicho!, you're finally awake!, I was getting worried" he said neutrally I smiled at him " its fine zabuza I was just wiped after holding that genjutsu for so long.

He nodded and I went outside to train upping my gravity seals by 50 kilograms as I did so now have a total of 950 kilograms added.

I would spend the next two weeks training myself and my team brutally with kurama turning nine in the process.
