4 months later.

4 months had passed since the meeting between Nao and Jiraya, during that time both were extremely busy.

Jiraya returned to Konoha and tried to talk to Naruto but the boy wouldn't even glance at him, he ignored him as if his sole existence was something that he didn't wanted to acknowledge.He knew that the boy was still too shocked and needed time so he just stayed in the village and helped the Hokage who had a little problem with a certain Anko.

Anko had returned to Konoha before Jiraya and started to act differently.Usually she was a happy woman who was always smiling no matter what happened, she did beat up all those who insulted her but now it was even worse.After what happened with Shougo she began to understand that the village really held no love for her.Her friends, Kurenai Yuuhi and Yugao Uzuki were starting to seriously worry for her, she appeared to be even more cruel than usual but something stunned them.She was acting like a maiden in love, sometime she would be randomly talking about a certain guy named Nao and how he was her hero.She even calmed him Nao-Sama which was a huge surprise to her two friends who were trying to know what happened while she was away.

Jiraya had talked to Anko and naturally discovered that Anko had already encountered Nao, he talked about him with her since she was pretty happy about it.She also told him about Shougo but he wasn't really surprised about that, after all the Hokage had already received a report about a certain Chunin disappearing from the village.Said Chunin tried to steal a few scrolls from the Hokage tower but had to flee after he was discovered by the boy that Jiraya was so concerned about.

While all that happened, things were happening somewhere else.In the bingo book, a book that counted all the important and dangerous ninja of the elemental nations a new face appeared.It wasn't actually a face but a cloaked figure with glowing Yellow eyes.

Name:Unknown

Nickname:The forest devil

Appearence:Few people could see him clearly since most died quickly after their encounter with him, but some still made a rapid description.The man has a black cloak that cover his entire body but his yellow eyes are still visible, while his face cannot be seen.He seems to be around 5'4 and his body is clearly athletic and slim.Some people also reported that the man could actually be a kid, his voice being way too acute to be the one of an adult, however the fact that he already killed more ninjas than most people in the bingo book prove that he is indeed an adult.

Age: approximatively 20 but many says that he's no older than 12.

Rank: B but due to his bounty it will soon change to A

Bounty:

Iwa: 6 000 000 ryo ( assasination of many ninjas from Iwa)

Kumo: 8 000 000 ryo (Assasination of many ninjas from Kumo plus a rich merchant from the Lightning country)

Kusa: 10 000 000 ryo ( Theft of important documents and jutsu scrolls, plus the slaughter of a whole squad of chunin from Kusa)

Abilities:

The forest devil seem to be pretty experienced in using all the affinities but most usually he uses Katon jutsus.There are also rumours about him being able to use the Mokuton but these are just rumors.

The forest devil possess great speed that can rival a Sannin, being able to disappear from sight without being sensed.He seems to be experienced in Bukijutsu and kenjutsu but his level only reach Chunin rank.His use of Genjutsu is unknown but believed to be atleast at the level of a chunin.

Warning:Only Jonin level ninja are allowed to approach this man.The devil of the forest is always in the forests of Fire country and as such those forests should be avoided.He's extremely cruel and seems to get a sick enjoyment in torturing people.Although his bounties are high, he's to be captured and not killed.

Nao had become feared in Fire country as he usually attacked merchants and squads of ninja.Konoha didn't really cared about him since he never attacked their ninjas or merchants.

However the council was interested in this individual and thus asked Jiraya about him.The only answer they got was.

"I know that guy.I met him a few months ago.He should be coming here soon, i saw a lot of potential in him and asked him to become a ninja of Konoha."

The council was annoyed by the lack of details but they still enjoyed the fact that Jiraya had tried to recruit such a talent.They could only wait and hope that the man would accept their offer.

Talking about him, Nao was currently in the forest of Konoha, walking towards the village with a huge smile on his face.During those months he didn't really changed except for the little scar he had on his nose.He got it from a Kumo nin who shot a kunai enhance with raiton at him.It had caused him a huge amount of pain but it wasn't that bad, because that gave him new ideas of ways to 'play' with his preys.

'Finally, Konoha!I don't think i'm gonna become an official ninja of the village but maybe i could be hired by those dumbass, that will give me a certain freedom and will allow me to get more money.Even in this world money hold a huge place in society.'Thought Nao as he rubbed his scar and smirked evilly.

'Things are gonna get interesting!'

*Gasp*

"Y-YOU....YOU CAME HERE?!"

He turned around and his eyes widened a little when he saw the figure standing behind him.

"Hello.....How are you?"
