Nobody saw much of Naruto for the next few weeks. He would show up to team training but other then that he was hardly seen. Kurenai had gone to Higashi a few times only to be told that he had just left. She, Hinata and Shino had tried to follow him several times but he always gave them the slip.

They would have asked a villager if they knew where he was but the only answer they ever got was harsh glares and a few murmurs about stupid demon brats, so they stopped trying.

Team 8 were currently in the Hokage office, Sarutobi looking at them with a worried expression on his aged face. They had been called because of something that had happened during their mission to Wave that they didn't know about until now.

Apparently one of The Silent had witnessed the battle at the bridge when Naruto had massacred Gato and his men. The Silent were a neutral people that worked for all the daimyos in the Elemental Nations as scouts for the bingo book. They would travel around the Nations observing ninja and whenever they found someone of note they would send their information to be printed in the monthly updates.

The reason that they were called The Silent was because no one had ever actually seen one. Nobody knew what they looked like and nobody would know they were there until the bingo book came out. They were both feared and respected by all the Shinobi villages for their skills.

The problem was that The Silent that had been witness at the bridge had thought Naruto impressive enough to add him in the latest update. Shortly after they had arrived Sarutobi had taken out the book and showed it to them.

At seeing the entry in the book Naruto had just laughed.

Name: Uzumaki Naruto

Age: 12

Alias: The True Horror of Konoha

Village: Konoha

Rank: Gennin

Status: Active

Skill Level: High B

Uzumaki showed great power and skill with an unknown Jutsu and is believed to be able to use a, until now, thought impossible ability to physically transform his body. It is unknown if this is by the use of a new bloodline or Jutsu. He is also able to perform the Shadow Clone Jutsu to a degree far beyond what was believed to be possible.

During observation he was seen making a thousand Shadow Clones and transforming them into an army of 'demons', which he named as the "Parade of a Thousand Demons". The result of this was the complete slaughter of 984 bandits that were in the employ of one Gato, from Gato shipping company and the man himself. At one point just before the battle he was also seen stopping a Chidori from the famed Hatake Kakashi with his bare hands and suffering no ill effects.

After the incident he was seen removing the heads of all the bandits and put them on pikes surrounding the village and claimed it as under his protection.

It is believed that due to his actions observed during and after the incident that his mental state should be in question as he appeared to be enjoying himself while he killed. This was deduced from the laughter that was heard.

In conclusion, Uzumaki Naruto has proven himself dangerous and is believed to have no regard for human life. It is advised for anyone under Jonnin level not to engage until more information has been gained.
