Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I could have. But then the others would've interfered. Now onto more serious matters, we three are going to destroy Akatsuki. With or without your help. Don't think of youserlf as to important. I just thought that you may be willing to lend us aid, you know, by killing Itachi. If you don't do it, Machi-chan, Sho-kun, or myself are more than willing. I just it polite to offer you the choice, since you've been working so hard and for so long. What would you do if Itachi was killed by one us while you were still playing around? This is just an offer you needn't take it. And, even if you want to, you must first prove yourself worthy. Depending on how well you do in the upcoming chuunin exam, we will decide if you are good enough. After watching you earlier, I already have my doubts, but, at the very least you can use this offer as motivation. Then throw it in our faces by saying 'No', I don't really care. But by not accepting the offer, you give up numerous opportunities of killing your big bro that will be offered, and when he is kiled by someone other than you because you passed it up, your life as an avenger will be over. Failure, think about it. That word walks hand in hand with you decision. We'll meet again, after the exams, have fun until then... Oh, I trust you can find your back." Heikaze's words were all serious, but also half mocking. Everyone knew od Sasuke Uchiha and his goal of revenge. Yet, Heikaze mocked him by threatening to steal his life's goal. The chance Sasuke would stand still and listen to this young kid lecture him was unlikely, but Heikaze didn't give him a chance to do anything. For as a gust of wind blew through the area, Heikaze, Machi, and Sho were gone.

Outside of the village, Heikaze stopped to let Sho off. He was in Konoha for far to long, ANBU was sure to be on to him by now. He would have to flee the Country of Fire, at least until things died down.

Heikaze then brought Machi back to Konoha. Reappearing out of a gust of wind in the middle of teh street, they were walking along at a leisurely pace, hand in hand, in the direction of a ramen shop. Heikaze hadn't forgotten...

"Ahh! What's the idea sneaking up on people like that!" Naruto jumped at the other boy, who was also apparently in his squad. He turned back to Erald.
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto, and I'm going to become Hokage some day!" He let a huge grin cover his face. Hopefully they'd be able to find their sensei and get to training before the Chuunin Exams started.

He heard a familiar voice from behind him a bit. Turning to see the familiar Jounin with witch he had been originally assigned to before this huge squad switch.

"Kakashi-sensei! Oh these are my new squad members. I think that one is Erald and... umm." He stared at the other kid standing beside him. "I don't know who he is," he thought for a moment, but turned back to Kakashi after a minute.
"Hey Kakashi! I'm having trouble finding our new sensei. I was wondering if you knew where she was. I think her name was Xinrie Arath, or something." He loooked at his old sensei, still reading his book.

He looked at the girl puzzled. "Mind link? Strange, I've yet to hear about that ability. Very well then." He turned to the Hokage. "If you need me I will be in the training arena with Crys here. I leave the rest in Anbu hands." He bowed slightly and turned to leave. "You coming Crys?"

Minato noticed that Shadar was still laying unconscious at his feet and scooped him up only to throw him at Naruto, he didn't want to hurt him because he was in the way. "Listen Uchiha, I don't know how Itachi missed you but you need to check your eyes again, I am the real thing. ((Check earlier posts please.)) And I warned Kakashi about using his Sharingan, what makes you feel that you are exempt from this rule?" Not making eye contact with Kakorata, the hokage turned missing nin threw a kunai at him. "I know your kekei genkai's weaknesses and you won't be able to use your clans abilities on me unless I allow it."

"But you didn't tell us what you want with Naruto. Why did you attack us now?" Yumiko yelled.
