The moon hung high in the sky; as the Kyuubi shattered the part of a seal, Naruto was already in the six-tails mode...and yet he could feel that this foreign chakra was not enough to turn him into the Nine-tailed Fox.

One could see the destroyed packets of instant ramen on the floor. He was on his way home with a bunch of Ramen to last for a week before he was attacked mid-way by an orange-masked man who merely looked at him before his anger went out of control...

...

Kyuubi roared, as shinobis tried to chain the uncontrollable beast back in the chakra sealing chains before it was too late. The Nine-tailed fox is coming! The seal is breaking up!

Naruto swiped a shinobi down with his left hand killing him in an instant while slamming another on his right side and tossing him through the air. He grabbed the heavy chains with both hands, yanking the rest away from his body to the sides.

The beast roared again and condensed chakra in his mouth into a tail beast bomb. Its jaws were open wide; ready for an attack...

The loud alarm kept on ringing as a massive swarm of shinobi started moving in, using their weapons and Jutsus to keep Naruto out of their grasp...

Naruto roared once again and fired the blast of chakra in his mouth onto the Hokage mountain, creating an explosion that was not only capable of vaporizing almost everything in the blast area but also blowing the whole village apart.

Hokage stood on the roof of his tower watching the battle with a sigh, then turned around...and disappeared. As long as Ghost is in the village, nothing will be able to touch or harm the village in any way.

The blast exploded in mid-air, blasting a huge crater while destroying many homes once there. The smoke from the destroyed area rose to the moon...where Ghost stood unharmed tanking the entire blast without even flinching.

He gently put the flute in his arm to his lips...

...

Naruto's chakra rosed even higher as the beast grew one more tail...

"Damnit", One of the shinobis roared, "We can't let the beast break free!"

They started trying to chain the monster once again but the boy kicked them aside with ease all with but one single strike.

One shinobi after another trembled by Kyuubi's aura alone; it was too fast, too powerful, and simply out of their reach...

"Hang on, my friend", said one of them, "I am sure..."

An eerie yet sweet melody rang in the air at that exact moment; as the shinobi turned around to face the source of that sound they all felt a shiver down their spine.

The dark fog began rising out of the ground, the moon turned red... and as the fog grew bigger and thicker so did the fear...

"What is this?" A ninja asked himself, as he tried to take a step back. It was as if there was an invisible force holding him back. Then as the fog grew even thicker, he felt as if his mind was being sucked inside of it.

A single droplet fell and he woke up with both Kyuubi and Ghost gone...

Whether it is Obito, Konoha's Anbu, Root agents, or Konoha Shinobi, they all had the same face of being stunned.

"What... the... hell...?!"

...

Hokage watched everything from his tower. The explosion had destroyed several buildings but was unable to kill anyone since it exploded in an abandoned area. He sighed as he switch the picture with Ghost hugging the boy...

Naruto struggled in Ghost's grasp while unable to move or mobilize his chakra in any way, as the assassin let his chakra enter Naruto's body.

Even in the despair of utter silence, the once foul beast could detect his incoming presence. Fear struck the mightiest of the tailed beasts, as Ghost's emotions drew forth until his figure took form completely before the mighty beast.

Its eyes fixate on the man's physique. Anger filled the nine-tailed fox, he was the most feared being in existence, yet here was this man. Without fear, he was practically asking to be slaughtered.

Kurama charged forward from inside the cage. As it rushed forward, Ghost's eyes glittered bringing fear upon the beast for some reason. As the fox's head slammed onto the bars, its hand reached out from the cage; something gave way within the beast's chest, causing it to fall immediately. The fox howled out in pain, using his left paw's claws to scrape the wet terrain.

"You are that brat with Kushina from that time... what is it that you seek demon? Why have you come here..?!" Kyubi managed, though his tone seemed to be painful.

"Get rid of your chakra from the kid's body"

"And why do you think I will comply with your request"

"It wasn't a request Kyubi", Ghost put his finger up upon the cage's seal. The characters on the seal began to morph and somehow caused the beast to write in pain.

"Don't forget who I am, chakra spawn", Ghost said as his body began to tremble ever so slightly. He was beginning to lose control over the beast's seal, a testament to the powerful seal that is keeping the nine-tail.

However, before he was kicked out entirely of this plane, the mighty beast retracted its chakra back from Naruto's body.

Soon, the dark red Chakra coat faded, and Naruto's young body retreated from the seven-tailed animal state.

Ghost sighed as he picked up his little body and blurred out of sight.

...

Obito entered the Kamui space with a bewildered face, he still didn't understand how Ghost took Naruto away, he was right there, with his Sharingan open, typically speaking there is no way for Ghost to take Naruto away from his prying eyes unless he could use the teleportation Jutsu, but what he knows about Ghost is that he knows no such thing, the only space-time Jutsu Ghost knows is that phasing one that he uses.

"How did he do that...?!...", Obito was very angry, he had a clear plan in his mind, he wanted to see Ghost die to subdue Nine Tail like Namikaze Minato back then!

According to him, even if he did succeed in subduing the Nine Tail while still alive. Ghost would be extremely tired and it would be easy to finish him off.

The result? He magically created pitch-black fog as a distraction and disappeared thoroughly like magic. Just like that.

His plan today has completely failed! Ghost, who he thought would die today was not only alive but also out of his sight...

...

He wasn't the only one who was angry, the root agents and Danzo were angry as well. Danzo finally had a chance to kill Naruto and obtain the tail beast for himself, and yet, that thorn appeared out of nowhere and took his prize possession away...

Ghost is without control, God knows when his fangs will bite them.

...

When Hokage and the rest came to the hospital they found Naruto lying on the bed in bandages, and Ghost was gone out of sight. Shisui looked at Hokage and bowed his head.

"Where is he?", Danzo asked feeling annoyed. That Ghost, he should have killed that boy when he was just a kid back then, what was he thinking bringing him up till he became this strong?

Now, he is not just strong, he is independent and certainly, a wild card that can bite him anytime.

"He never said. He just ordered me to protect and accompany Naruto tonight, he will take over me once he is back", Shisui said while still bowing.

"We will take over. Leave", Danzo said with a frown

...

On the edge of the pristine island, Terumi Mei looked from a distant hazy moon between the mist and sighed.

"Terumi sama", A voice came and woke her from her dreams. She turns back to see a shark-skinned man grinning at her, "You called"

"Yes Kisame, you said earlier that you killed Fuguki senpai to protect us. Right?"

Terumi Mei stared at Hoshigaki Kisame. She has been having doubts about Kisame for some time now. Kisame's speed of growth in status is too unreal, he started as an aide of Fuguki senpai, and now he has taken over Mist Shinobi Anbu. A position that is arguably the second most important position in the entire village.

"Terumi sama. You are not doubting me, are you?", Kisame grinned with his shark face.

"Yes. I am", she said directly, looking into his eyes.

"Well then, I can ask the same of you. You let Ghost from Konoha come to our Village. Let him sniff around, and destroy our prison. Terumi sama. Are you the traitor instead..?!", Kisame, with his toothy grin asked Mei.

Mei smirked, "Is this your best attempt at diverting the conversation? Well, let's not dwell on it any longer, I am quite confident that you are the spy working for the fourth Mizukage by now..."

Kisame looked at into her eyes, "Is there nothing I can do to convince you otherwise..."

"No..!", Mei stared at Kisame, who was staring at her too. And suddenly, she quickly formed the hand signs and spit a thick volume of lava. Kisame was not any slower either.

"Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique"

"Water Release: Water Tsunami"

A large amount of lava swept toward Kisame overwhelmingly. Kisame spits a huge load of water, and two tsunamis tackle each other, changing the entire terrain in just one move.

Kisame cursed inwardly as Mei came from underground. Pulling out the big shark-like sword Samehada on his shoulder, and lightly stroking it towards the incoming Lava, it was quickly sucked away by Samehada!

However! Such a short time was enough for Mist rebels to come and encircled him

Kisame cursed, they were waiting for an ambush...

"Kisame, you really betrayed us", Ao said as he came and stand beside Mei.

"It's you. I knew it, you told her against me. We shouldn't have rescued you that time", Kisame said. He is not afraid of these guys. Even if he is not strong enough to beat them all, he is definitely strong enough to escape them all.

Kisame looked at the large number of Mist rebels who surrounded him, his body was ready to react to anything they could throw at him.

At this moment, the space around him twisted in a whirlpool, and an orange-masked person suddenly appeared, resting a hand on Kisame's shoulder.

"Don't resist, I will take over", Uchiha Obito's voice came over.

However, he now uses the voice of Uchiha Madara. Kisame heard the familiar voice and heaved a sigh of relief. They have a chance to victory now...

However! At this moment, Obito's face turned to the side.

"Tobi chan, an unknown Chakra is heading here at an extremely fast pace", White Zetsu struck on Obito's body said in a panic, "Run"

With the sound of breaking wind, a figure was splitting the water.

"This is?", Uchiha Obito's pupils shrank suddenly! This ungodly speed could only be his.

Wearing a skeleton mask, holding a black sword, and wearing a hooded black cloak, Ghost suddenly appears in a blur..!!

"I told you. Tonight you shall witness a hunt you have never seen before", Ghost said while releasing a catastrophic all-crushing aura; It flows as an invincible blade, sucking the winds around him and distorting the gravity's strength that created a small crater beneath his feet, making the calm water into restless waves behind him.

The whole island trembled under the impact of this demonic presence.
