So, a few months ago I was reading this great Naruto fanfic. I was sure that it was written by IA Seldon, on ff.net, but I checked and its not on his list. So, the hunt is on.

First things first, Naruto was pretty much assumed dead by Konoha. Sent on a mission or something, presumed dead, etc. He assembled this band of kids around him and they were all either abandoned/monsters/etc. It was pretty well written and damn cool. Eventually, Konoha was attacked and he decided at long last, to go lend a hand.

A notable part was some sort of demonic standard (in other words, it was like a flag/pole-sign...just look it up) forged by one of the kids. Also, they forced some mutations onto some horses to get to Konoha in time.

There were 3 chapters, but it was well over 20-30k.

If anybody could find it for me, I would really appreciate it!

 

Oh, I know something like this.

The Nine Broken Mirrors? It doesn't have that standard thing, but it's pretty good.

I'll go find a link.

Edit: Here ya go.

Ah, thanks for the link, but its not the story that I'm looking for.

I might as well read it anyway though, since you bothered to dig up the link!
