Everything was hectic. Kakashi would go from doctor to doctor and nurse to nurse, in search of anyone who had information, Sasuke spun his sharingan to life and grasped any kind of memories, or anything they could use. Sakura tried a more gentler approach but still it was in vain as they could find nothing.

So they went to the room and tried to fucking trace where the blonde could have gone. All they could find though was, footprints going around the room. Nothing else was there and so they concluded that he had flashed somewhere.

Now that wouldn't be a problem but with Naruto, he went as far as to block all chakra signatures from being traced, and so when they had thought they found something it seemed to disintegrate in their faces.

Team 7 was an absolute mess the next day, bags were prominent under their eyes and contrasted against their now pale face. Their eyes blown full wide and seemed to be on hyper drive as they fussed over where the blonde could have gone.

Kakashi continually blamed himself over and over and over. No matter how much times people would say it wasn't his fault he would mention why and walk away.

Hiruzen sent out his top ANBU in search of the boy he failed to protect for his childhood. However he would have to call them back before they had gotten to far since there was no one to protect and take mission for the village.

It had been a week since Naruto had gone missing, team 7 had begun their training as a 3 man squad and steered clear of the topic of Naruto,

Sasuke was versing Shino in the last round while Sakura was up against Yoru, once found out she blushed and looked really reluctant, and they were given scrolls every two days of new Justus for them to master. Kakashi has taken a liking to the hidden scrolls he found in the off limits section, and so took his time looking through them and finding the perfect scrolls in search of what could match his students.

Just because they didn't talk about their other team mate doesn't mean he didn't plague their minds, at nights they would cry theirselves to sleep as a dark feeling crept into their hearts and made them feel incomplete as they continued to meet without their blonde.

Sakura sighed and looked in the mirror while pursing her lips, after Naruto had left she had taken a real insecurity towards her own figure, she gazed at her body with distaste as she found herself in a mirror.

Sasuke took up to becoming more anti-social, he would not talk unless he was spoken to, and he was a lot more awkward with his conversations while a thick air hung around him.

Kakashi just hated himself, everything about himself, from his head to his toes, his mentality to his spirit. Everything was a problem to himself,

To put it simply team 7 was no longer the same with out their blonde holding them together.

Everyone would stare at them with pity as they walked the streets of their village and so they decided to only stay indoors and only go outside to train.

They have hoped and prayed for their blonde to come back, but to no avail, cause as the weeks progressed and training became more relentless, still no sign that the blonde had shown up. That seemed to have dampened their moods even more, to face the fact that their blonde would most likely not be around anymore, it hurt them to even think like that and they cried out to the goods who were listening for Naruto to come back.

Hiruzen sighed and placed the palms of his hands onto his face as he thought over the information he had just received.

News of a new signature had popped up, a teenager with a black fox mask with white marking on it. His clothing was conpletely black with white katanas strapped to his back, he was not a threat at the moment and, Hiruzen could only hope that the boy would not try to attack the leaf.

"What would you like us to do Hokage-sama" one ANBU spoke up. Hiruzen looked out the window behind him as he spoke.

"We will do no action, for now he seems to have taken up on taking out the rogues in the area that are much to dangerous for me to send my ninja out to eliminate. For now he is doing us a much needed favour and I pray to kami that we do not upset him, because I believe that the leaf is doomed if he is our enemy." Hiruzen stated. All ANBU pursed their lips and flashed away from their leader and back tot heir assignments they were given.

The sight before him was horrifying, though he stared upon it with blank blue eyes. The mask he wore dripped with blood before he disappeared with a blue flash.

In his place laid the remnants of the monsters that lurked in the shadows of when the protectors could not see. He attacked when they could not and saved them, even though they had caused him great pain.

The blonde halted in front of another blonde man and tore off his mask as cerulean met cerulean, two figures stood facing each other and from another's perspective, you could mistaken them as twins, but as a red head walked up tot he two, you could see where you had been wrong.

"Let's get to work shall we" the older blonde stated, the younger one smiled as he stared at the man who looked like himself and nodded.

"We shall, dad" Naruto stated and took his mother's hand as they flashed away in a mix of colours.

Yellow, red, and blue.

All that was left was the silence of the night and the whispers of the forest' creatures of the nights.
