Naruto, kikashi, yamoto, shikaku, sakura, sai, and shikimaru are all sitting around a camp fire in a field with tents near by. The light shines upon their faces with ominous glow. They all look shocked as they stare at naruto.

Kakashi: "So that is the story of pain. A very interesting story indeed. When this is over you will definately have to write about this."
Shikaku: "Indeed. What you have learned in the last day may be some of the most important information we have ever gotten thus far not only on danzou but also on akatsuki."
Naruto: "But what about the vision I had of my father?"
Shikimaru: "It is possible that pain was trying to inflitrate your mind to force you to not release the seal."
Yamoto: "That is very unlikely. Only someone who understands the seal could regress it as far back as it has become. If not for that than you would surely have been killed had you broken the seal naruto. I guess you can thank your father for saving your life."

Kakashi has a flash back to the fourth hokage teaching him the rasengan in the field for the first time.

Kakashi: "All I know is your father would be very proud of you for what you have done today and Im sure dead or not he will always be with you."
Sai is reading through a book then stops and pulls out some meat from a bag.
Sai: "Anyone hungry? I hear its a common traditions for people to sit in front of a camp fire together and tell ghost stories or sing songs."
Naruto: "....."

Sakura hits Sai over the head.
Sakura: "Now is not the time to joke about ghosts during times like these."
Shikaku gets a concerned look and looks at shikimaru who nods in agreement.
Shikaku: "So what should we do about Danzou? If what you say is correct and then there is sufficient evidence to prove danzou has committed treason."
Kakashi: "Do you think we could get a private audience with the daimyo?"
Shikaku: "Unlikely. Danzou is already making efforts to tighten down any efforts to stop any dissent to his becoming hokage."

Naruto: "What if we forced our way in with a distraction. We might then be able to get into see the Daimyo."
Shikimaru: "Its possible but very unwise. Since the attack the security around konoha has become increasingly tight. Sure many of them are not in good shape since the attack but it would be unwise to make any forced effort."

A figure emerges from the shadows and heads towards the fire. Its Neji and Guy. The others are surprised when they see them appear.

Guy: "We could not help but over hear your conversation. We may have some good news to inform you about. Anbu is searching for you and requesting that you head to the council chambers tomorrow morning."
Naruto: "What for?"
Neji: "They want to hear what information you have gathered thus far on akatsuki."
Shikaku: "Than I guess we do not need to force the daimyo to listen to us. I guess the fate of the village is in your hands now Naruto. Maybe you can do what I could not and convince the daimyo not to make danzou hokage."
Naruto: "I will try my best."

Team Samui is sitting on a rock overlooking the village along with an anbu black ops ninja nearby looking on at the village.

Karui: "All this was done by one ninja?!"
Omoi: "Must have been one hell of a battle. How many people faught in this battle?"
Samui: "Actually there was several ninja that did this but its kind of complicated since there is a lot of wierd things that happened during this fight."
Omoi: "What kind of wierd things?"
Samui: "Its too long and difficult to explain. The good thing is the fight is over and now akatsuki may have lost not only their strongest fighters but also their leader."
Karui: "Does that mean we can leave now? There is nothing much to do here and I doubt there will be any cute rich guys to date."
Omoi: "Maybe if you actually spent more than just a few minutes staring at the village from a distance and showing some skin you may get lucky."
Karui gets angry and gets ready to charge at Omoi.
Samui: "Cool it you two. We will be leaving this village soon. Besides I just got a request from the Daimyo of the fire country. He has asked that we accept an assignment on our trip back home."
Omoi looks at samui with a curious eye while looking down at the village.
Omoi: "What kind of assignment?"

The council chamber is shown from the outside. Inside many of the people in the room are sitting intently looking at Naruto. Two of the council members are shocked. One of them has a concerned look while another is look at danzou. Danzou is visably shaken while wearing a hokage outfit. The daimyo is looking at naruto with obvious interest.

Daimyo: "So that is how akatsuki was formed? The ambitions of children threatened by war. I had expected there would be something greater but this is interesting."

Danzou: "Are you seriously gonna take this story as being true. It is barely accurate."

One of the elders looks at danzou with a stern look.

Elder: "So this whole attack could have been avoided long ago. Is that not true danzou?"
Danzou: "I made the best decisions I could at that time. If had more resources than maybe I could have stopped akatsuki before this happened."
Daimyo: "What is in the past is in the past. There is nothing that can be done about this now except to use what information we have now. While your actions have indeed been questionable danzou. I can not fault you for trying to eliminate akatsuki even if it meant making an alliance as unwise as what you made."

Danzou smiles and Shikaku gets noticeably upset.

Shikaku: "But he was responcible for provoking the wrath of akatsuki. If not for that than akatsuki could very well have been our allies."
Elder looks sternly at Shikaku. Kakashi puts his hand on shikaku's shoulder and shakes his head.
Daimyo: "The matter of Danzou's actions in the past is done. The more important issue now is dealing with akatsuki in its present form. To that end I am reccomending that Naruto present this information at the meeting of hokages."
Danzou gets upset and looks at naruto with an angry look.
Danzou: "The words of mere genin are meaningless during a time like this. Allow me to present the evidence. Besides this boy is in mortal danger with akatsuki now more than ever attempting to capture him."

Naruto gets indignant and stands up looking at danzou in anger.

Naruto: "I can defend myself just find Danzou. Have you forgotten it was I who defeated Pain?"
Kakashi: "Easy naruto. As much as I hate to say it but I have to agree with Danzou this time. Naruto is not safe alone. If I may I would like to volunteer as his bodyguard and protector."

One of the elders whispers something into the Daimyo's ear and he raises an eyebrow.

Daimyo: "That will be unnecessary kakashi. Apparently the cloud village has already sent a group to inform us concerning the meeting of hokages. It is therefore my decision that you naruto shall accompany this group back to the cloud village where you will attend the meeting of hokages."

A knock sounds at the door and a masked anbu black ops ninja goes over and opens the door.
Daimyo: "With that out of the way. Naruto let me now introduce you to your new bodyguards enroute to the cloud village and your future bodyguards, Team Samui."
Team Samui looks stands in the door way. They are smiling and looking at everyone in the room. Samui looks at naruto with a serious expression.
Samui: "Pack your things and say your good byes naruto. We leave at sunset tonight."
