"Okay today I'm going to teach you guys how to climb a tree," Kakashi said.

"But sensei, didn't we learn that when we where in the academy," Sakura said.

"Yes but I would be teaching you how to climb one with no hands."

"...WHAT?!"

////////////

Sasuke thought he was going to go deaf when Sakura screeched in his ear. He shook her off his arm and walked to the other side of Naruto. They both glared at the pink banshee.

"Kakashi-sensei that's impossible, there is no way we can climb a tree with no hands," Sakura said glaring at Naruto.

"Are you sure? Let's see."

He started to control his chakra to the soles of his feet. He started walking towards a tree then stopped right in front of it. He puts his foot on it and started walking up. Sakura gasped so hard that Naruto and Sasuke thought she lost a lung.

Kakashi continued to walk up the tree until he was upside-down on one of it's branches.

"Kakashi-sensei, how will this help us in becoming stronger," Sakura asked.

"You see by controlling your chakra to the soles of your feet. By doing this you will have to use a small amount of chakra but it has to be exact. This could be difficult for even the most skilled of ninjas. Plus it'll help you develop your stamina in needing to control your chakra properly. A ninja will usually be using their chakra during battle while constantly moving, which is very difficult. That is why this tree climbing exercise you will gain chakra stamina."

"*sigh* The Academy really should've already taught them how to control chakra when they were at least 8 years old," Madara says as he pinches the bridge of his nose.

Everyone else agreed.

Kakashi jumped off of the branch and landed ten feet away from his students. He threw a kunais in front of each and everyone of them.

"I want you to use these kunais to mark how high you get up the tree; then use that mark as your goal and try to surpass it."

Naruto puts the bunny down then grabs the kunai. All of them soon started their tree climbing training.

Naruto and Sasuke were having trouble with getting over thirteen feet up the tree, but Sakura on the other hand managed to nearly reach the top.

"Wow this is easy," she bragged.

The three males, if you can even call Naruto that, looked up at the pink headed girl. Naruto and Sasuke looked unimpressed.

"Nice job Sakura, you can take a break and help me guard Tazuna while Naruto and Sasuke keep training," Kakashi said.

"Okay," she said deflated as she wished for Sasuke to congratulate her.

Once Naruto couldn't sense Kakashi or Sakura anywhere near them, he and Sasuke thought the same thing.

'Baka.'

Naruto grabbed the bunny and walked all the way to the top of the tree, same goes for Sasuke. Both of them just sat at the top of the trees looking at the view.

"Meditate?"Sasuke asked.

"Hn."

"Hn."

Sasuke walked down the tree; once he touched the ground, he sat down and started meditating. Even though he already knew how to control his chakra, he was meditating to work on controlling his chakra in multiple regions of his body. Naruto wanted him, Hinata, and Sai to work on meditation in controlling chakra since controlling it requires mental energy, body energy, and spiritual energy working together.

Sasuke started breathing slowly as well as his heart as he continued. He listened to the sound of nature and the beating of his heart.

Naruto was impressed on how fast he manage to focused​ his chakra in his body. Soon he put his attention off Sasuke and towards the out skirts of the Wave country. He sensed something, something familiar.

He took one last glance at Sasuke before he hid his chakra and left with the bunny. He jumped up a tree and started jumping from branch to branch.

"Kit, what's wrong," Kurama asked.

"I sense something, something familiar," Naru said.

"Like what," Marada asked.

Naruto couldn't answer him until he got a good look of who it was. He had a hunch on who it is, but he thinks he might be wrong. But once Naruto focused on who it was, he knew his hunch was correct.

"Uchiha."

All the Uchihas' started wondering who it is, but then it clicks in.

"Itachi?" Mikoto questioned hoping to see another one of her babies.

"I'm sorry Mikoto, I can't completely tell you if it's Itachi."

"Then who else could it be?" Fugaku questioned.

"Obito Uchiha."

"WHAT?! I thought he died during a mission years ago," Sabaru said.

"No, he's been alive all these years," Madara said.

"But, how?"

"Madara saved the kid a few minutes after boulders fell on him. It took a while for him to heal but he was able to keep the kid alive long enough."

Everyone looked at Marada as if he grew four extra heads, six legs, five arms, and a tail.

"Hn."

Naruto hid behind a bush waiting for the mysterious Uchiha to come out. As they come closer, Naruto senses nine other people.

'Well this is going to be fun," he thought.

Once the mystery group was in sight Naruto wrapped them in chakra infused vines, which wrapped their legs, arms, waist, and necks, holding them down unable to move.

"WHAT THE HELL?"

"What is this, Zetsu?"

"This isn't me, it's someone else," said the man Naruto thinks is Zetsu.

He couldn't really see any of their faces since they were wearing black cloaks that had red clouds on them with big straw hats on that farmers would use.

Soon all of them heard rustling in the bushes.

"HEY COME ON OUT COWARD," the same man that yelled 'What the hell' said.

Their eyes were all on the bush Naruto was in. They waited until a white bunny came out.

"Is this some kind of joke?"

"I don't know, but if it is, it's not funny."

Out of no where a certain blonde in a yellow kimono was standing right next to the bunny.

"HEY KID, DO YOU THINK THIS IS A JOKE, UNTIE US NOW!"

The blond didn't say anything, he only stood there.

"HEY, I'M TALKING TO YOU. ARE YOU DEAF?!"

"Hidan calm down, she's just a kid," another said.

Soon a huge gust of wind came and blew the straw hats off their heads. It revealed each and every one of the ten people. And Naruto could easily identify every one of them as Members of Akatsuki and who they are.

Deidara, rogue of the Village hidden in the Stone, Iwakure.

Kisame Hoshigaki, rogue of the Village hidden in the Mist, Kirigakure.

Hidan, rogue of the Village hidden in the Hot Water, Yugakure.

Kakuzu, rogue of the Village hidden in the Waterfall, Takigakure.

Yuhiko, Konan, and Nagato aka Pein, rogues of the Village hidden in the Rain, Amegakure.

Sasori, rogue of the Village hidden in the Sand, Sunagakure.

Zetsu, another member of the Akatsuki but he has no village to come from.

And lastly, the only person he thought to meet on a later note. The person he wanted answers from. The only one possible of killing their whole clan.

Itachi Uchiha, rogue of the Village hidden in the Leaf, Konohagakure.

In Naruto's mind scape Mikoto was in her husbands arms, crying after a quick view of her eldest son.

"Excuse me," the only woman in the group called. She had short, straight blue hair, grey eyes (a/n: amber in the anime) with lavender eye shadow, and a labret piercing. She has worn a large light blue paper flower in her hair. She wore the Akatsuki cloak and her Akatsuki ring on her right middle finger, the kanji on it meaning "white" (白, byaku, haku). She also wore orange nail polish. Instead of the standard sandals and leg-warmers, she wore a pair of blue pants that also functioned as her shoes, with white high heels, inverting the organisation's standard colour scheme. Her name was Konan.

Naruto raised an eyebrow at the woman.

"Can you please tell us why we're tied up like this," Konan asked.

"Actually there is, but I can't tell you the reason," Naruto said just before he slammed his book closed. "Now can you answer my question, why are you here?"

All of them looked at each other and said nothing.

But right when one of them was about to speak someone was calling Naruto's name.

"Naruto?"

Naruto recognized the voice, it was Sasuke. He immediately untied the ropes off the Akatsuki members except one.

"I'll use you as an excuse and if any of you want him back, you will meet me here in two weeks."

"Why two weeks?!"

"You'll know later on. Now leave."

~With Sasuke~

Sasuke noticed that Naruto was gone for about an hour and he was starting to worry.

He slowly starts to get up. He was still focusing on his chakra control and one wrong move could cause damage or in worst case scenario, death. So now he slowly starts to bring the flow to its normal pace.

He senses a small amount of chakra coming from the forest farthest away from him. He follows the chakra as he starts to hear yelling and mumbled voices.

"Naruto?" He called.

He kept walking towards the voice until he saw Naruto alone with the white bunny beside his foot and his back towards him.

"Naruto?"

Said blonde turned around to reveal a black bunny in his arms.

"Sorry, I had some business to take care of."

Sasuke crossed him arms and leaned on the tree next to him, "With a rabbit?"

Naruto pulled the black hare in front of his face in a cute manner and moved one of his little arms, "Yes."

A dust of pink spread to Sasuke's cheeks.

"Whatever, so what are you going to name the balls for fur?" He asked.

"I'll name the white one Kukiko, and the black one...Itachi."
