The unknown prodigy

The battles of the sound four and the retrieval team!

Then

None of them bothered to address the elephant in the room, they knew that Naruto wasn't just bringing her because she's his girlfriend. They've seen the girl fight, they fought by her side, she was strong enough to defeat an S-rank nin with Neji and Naruto. They trusted her.

"Alright, now that everyone is here, let's move out" The highest ranking nin there ordered, all of them blasting off at the order with Naruto at the lead.

————————————————————

Far away, four people stood around a coffin looking thing, an aura of malice and power coming off the box.

"You think they'll come after us?" The biggest our of the four asked the girl of the group, the man looked annoyed because this was taking to long.

The girl scoffed "of course they are, he's the son of a Hokage, they won't just let us take him because he wants to defect" She said in an annoyed tone, she wondered if the kid even knew what she was.

" We have a little bit left, but they'll probably catch up in no time, good thing we're right on track" The big guy said as he stared to the side, red eyes staring right back at him.

Now

Naruto jumped from tree to tree towards a certain direction, his teammates following right behind him as they wondered if they would even be able to catch up.

"How is Naruto sure we're going the right way?" Choji asked out loud, hoping that any of them would answer his question. He wasn't aware of what most of Naruto's abilities were.

Neji stepped on a tree and jumped again before he spoke up "Naruto's chakra sensing is kind of like how a dog can smell your scent from where you've been." He explained as he landed on another tree before jumping again.

    "Every person has a specific chakra signature, one that you personally have that's different from others. And it just so happens that Naruto has been able to sense traces of it along the way" Neji explained one of the many abilities that Naruto had come to possess. One of the many wonders that Naruto has come to reveal about himself.

       Naruto suddenly stopped at a clearing, the rest of the group dropping down beside him as they examined the area. They noticed a coffin, one that was oozing purple malignant energy laid in the middle of the field.

      "He was here, but it's intertwined with several other energies. Shit! It proves Uncle's theory about others being with him true" Naruto deduced as he gave a frustrated sigh, he really didn't want there to be any other complications.

       Rava walked up next to him and scanned the area " should be at least four others, there's at least four pairs of footprints on the ground" She said while looking at the almost a half a dozen pairs of footprints making Naruto nod.

        "The thing that bothers me though, is that there aren't four, there are six signatures. And five going that way." Naruto revealed while pointing in the direction of the valley of the end, the place where the first Hokage and Madara Uchiha had their final battle.

     "And there is one more that lingers here-" Naruto was cut off when his eyes widened as he pushed Rava and Shikamaru out of the way.

     Before they could ask, Naruto crossed his arms to block a massive punch from a large shinobi with a rope tied around his waist.

     "Guess I was right huh?" Naruto asked with a grin before he vanished and appeared next to Rava, sword in hand as he dug it out of the ground, making the giant man stumble a bit.
