No POV

Naruto and Gaara found their way to Temari and Kankuro, who were already back at the compound, and made their way over. Quickly entering the building, they made their presence known and waited to be greeted by the elder siblings.

Before the siblings saw it, Naruto took his hand from Gaara's head and moved back a bit to allow the slight sense of privacy. And finally, the sand siblings ushered Gaara into the main room and they all took a seat as well as Naruto.

Temari looked nervous and Kankuro looked prepared for anything. And Gaara, after a few minutes, said, "Temari, Kankuro, Naruto is very powerful. And last night, he did something that has changed my views on a few things." He paused to take in the looks on their faces, they were both fearful and glancing at Naruto as well, so he continued. "He modified my seal to allow me to control when i talk to my tailed beast. So that, now, i can sleep. And for the first time since i was born, i slept last night."

Kankuro looked shocked and Temari also did, but she also had a developing smile. Gaara decided to continue once more, "And because I was able to sleep for the first time, peacefully, i am now able to see how much the two of you care for me." Once again, he paused, not knowing how to say the next parr of his statement, until he finally found the words and said, "I'm sorry for all that i've put you through."

They both gasped as Gaara finished, all but completely forgetting Naruto's presence. And after a few minutes, Temari said, "Gaara, does this mean you won't kill me if i hug you?"

Gaara nodded slowly, still not used to the ides of being hugged. But Temari took this chance and pounced on top of Gaara, giving him a huge hug and not letting go. And Kankuro sat back, smiling.

Gaara knew this was the ideal reaction, so he turned his head to Naruto and gave a slight nod with a slight smile. Naruto did the same, then turned his attention back to the siblings. He then cleared his throat, allowing Temari to pull back from her hold on her brother. Both Kankuro and Temari gave him a slight glare, then remembered that he's the one who helped their brother, so they stopped glaring and prepared to say their thanks. Only to be interrupted by Naruto saying, "No need to thank me. Seeing a fellow jinchuriki in so much pain, i had to do something. Which is why i decided a few years ago that on my birthday, this year, i would leave Konoha and find the other jinchuriki and save them from whatever hell they are living. My birthday is in 7 days as of midnight. I already spoke with Gaara about all of this before i fixed his seal, and he told me that he would definitely want to go with me. As we discussed it more today, he said he'd want to bring the two of you along as well. If you want, i wouldn't mind it. I see that you truly care about your brother, and because of that, i doubt you would betray him as most people would."

Temari and Kankuro looked hesitant for a moment, took one look at Gaara, then nodded. Kankuro then said, "If you both will have us, we would be more than willing to join you in your journey. And if your as powerful as Gaara says, then i have no doubt we will be protected and able to keep training even after becoming missing-nin."

Temari nodded at that and said, "Besides, someone needs to take care of this little red head. Even if he has threatened to kill us an uncountable number of times, we're still his older siblings. That counts for something at least."

Gaara let himself give a smile as he hugged Temari and said, "Thank you for never abandoning me.".
Kankuro looked shocked by the reaction Gaara had, but softened his gaze in contentment. Happy that they were able to be this happy with each other for once.

Naruto then stood and said, "Well, i'll see you all later. I must go test Sakura to see if she'd be willing to go along with us. Then i must test Sasuke. I hope they both pass. I don't want to hurt either of the people i consider family." Naruto then left the building, on his way to Ino's house to get Sakura.

TIME SKIP

As Naruto Arrived at Ino's house, he noticed that it was around 3 in the afternoon already. So he hurried inside and made himself known to the people in the house. Quickly, Ino's father, Inoichi, came out from the back of the flower shop and said, "Uzumaki! Why are you here?" He seemed to be hiding his anger better than usual, but not enough to fully hide from Naruto.

Naruto just responded, "Sakura told me to get her after I was done with what i was doing. We're hanging out for a bit. Do you mind calling her down?"

Inoichi scowled as he yelled, "Sakura! Uzumaki is here! Says you're gonna hang out!"

Naruto then heard a bit of rustling come from above, and soon, Sakura was running down the stairs. As she got to Naruto, she said, "Yeah. Me, him, and Sasuke are going to hang out for a bit. Bye Mr. Yamanaka." The male just nodded in response as Naruto and Sakura left the flower shop.

Outside, Naruto said, "How much chakra have you been able to replenish Sakura?"

Sakura responded, "Almost half."

Naruto nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll discuss something with you first so your reserves are at a higher level when we start training today."

Sakura nodded, wanting to question what it was about, but knowing that questioning her sensei was no something she should do. So they continued to walk until they were alone on the street. Then he grabbed her arm and shunshined them both to the forest of death. Naruto let go of her arm again as they walked inside. He then lead her to a spot clear of the giant creatures of the forest.

Taking a seat on the ground, he pointed to the place across from himself, signaling for her to sit there. So, she sat in a meditative position and looked to Naruto in wait. He took a breathe before saying, "Alright, I believe we are close enough now, that telling you this won't result in immediate resentment or hatred."

She nodded and said, "I couldn't hate you sensei."

Naruto smiled and said, "I hope so." Then he nodded to himself and continued, "So, there's no easy way to say this. I'm the jinchuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune. On the night of the attack, the fourth Hokage couldn't kill it, so he instead sealed it within me."

Her mouth dropped open in pure shock as she stared at Naruto and said, "I-I'm glad you were a-able to finally tell me."

Naruto nodded and said, "Take your time. It's not something easily understood. Most of the village hates me for it anyways."

This seemed to clear her mind as she scowled and ask, "Why do you think that?"

He frowned and said, "Because they've made that fact very clear with all of their abuse." He then looked back up into her eyes and said, "A-anyways, what's you view on this?"

She frowned, her eyes sadden, and said, "I'm sad that you were abused, but I'm glad you told me. I feel like we're closer now."

Naruto smiled and said, "In that case, I have a few more secrets to tell you about."

She braced herself, knowing it was probably something even more shocking. And his next words proved her right. "I'm the son of the Yondaime Hokage and his wife. Their names were Minato Namikaze, a dead clan, and Kushina Uzumaki, another dead clan. Making me a dual clan heir."

She nodded trying to process the information without yelling. He's practically royalty, but he's abused? What the hell is wrong with Konoha?!

Naruto then continued as her features smooth out again, taking it as a sign that she was finished processing the information. Then he said, "Because of my experiences of being abused, I was able to start talking to the nine tails very early on. He's who taught me. And at one point a few years ago, we had a conversation that started a plan. This plan is, on my 13th birthday, I'm leaving Konoha to find the other jinchurki and save them from whatever they're going through now. Jinchurki nowadays are treated like the beasts they contain, so I wish to save them. I may even create my own hidden village with them and whomever comes along."

Sakura's jaw dropped at this. And with all of this information, all she could think was, Out of everyone we know, he chose to tell me. He wants me to come along. Naruto watched as she processed this information.

She then said, "And you want me to be one of the nonjinchuriki that you bring with you. Why?"

Naruto smiled at her and said, "Because, your my student. The person I have chosen to teach first. And one of the few people I consider to be an equivalent to family."

She smiled and said, "Then, I'll go."

Naruto then asked, "What about your family here? Won't you miss them?"

She smirked and said, "Nah. Dad's a merchant so he's never home. When he is, it's only to debate with me on the newest marriage contract he tried to make me sign. And my mom is a council member, so she's not really around either. And when she is, she's either there to tell me who to like, remind me to hate you, or just to do paperwork. The woman is the reason I have another me in my head that I call 'Cha'."

Naruto nodded and said, "Well alright. For the next hour, we're going to be working on your genjutsu ability. After that's finished, I'm going to go to Sasuke and talk to him about all of this. I want him with as too, as he is just as much family as you. And he has been for a lot longer."

Sakura nodded as she stood, prepared for the extended hour to begin. So Naruto cast the jutsu and the training began.

Time Skip

An hour later, Naruto released the jutsu and said, "Practice whatever you want to for the next hour, then go home. But do it outside of the forest. I don't want to endanger you." Getting a nod, he shunshined them to the forest exit and said, "Alright, I'll see you tomorrow at the same time." Then he shunshined back to the Uchiha compound.

Once there, he walked over to the mansion and knocked on the door. It took a few minutes before the door opened, revealing Sasuke with a scowl on his face. But that scowl quickly cleared to a happy expression, the switched to sad in the next moment. So Naruto asked, "Hey Sasuke, may I come in?"

Sasuke hesitated, then nodded and opened the door the rest of the way. Then he shuffled towards a larger room. Naruto walked in and shut the door behind him, walked in the same direction Sasuke had walked to. Turning a corner, he saw the Uchiha sitting on a couch, looking in his direction.

So, with a small smile, Naruto moved to the seat next to him and said, "Its a nice place."

Sasuke nodded before asking, "Why are you here Naruto?"

Naruto frowned before saying, "A few reasons. The first one I'll address is that I'm worried for you. I know you don't like hearing it, but your family to me. And because I don't have a real one, I treasure you more than I do anyone else. I don't like seeing you in so much pain and want to do something to help."

Sasuke gave a sad smile and asked, "You really treasure me that much?"

Naruto nodded and asked, "So is there anything I can do to help?"

Sasuke thought for a moment before saying, "I don't think I'll ever stop loving you like I do Naruto. So, maybe,  for the moment, could you hold me as if it could be more?"

Naruto nodded and opened his arms, allowing Sasuke to wrap himself around him in a hug. Then Naruto started rubbing Sasuke's back and said, "Sasuke, you are truly one of my most precious people. Don't ever think otherwise."

Sasuke nodded into Naruto's shoulder before saying, "Can you tell me why else you came while like this?"

Naruto chuckled a little and replied, "It'd be too awkward."

Sasuke nodded again as he pulled away, sitting back in his previous spot. Then he asked, "So why else did you come?"

Naruto smiled a small smile before saying, "Well, I wanted to tell you a secret about me. I still have some secrets even though I revealed my abilities on the first, I haven't revealed everything about myself."

Sasuke nodded and asked, "So what is it?"

Naruto sighed and said, "I'm the jinchuriki for the Nine Tailed Fox."

Sasuke's jaw dropped for a moment, before he picked it up and smiled. "Well that explains your fast healing and that strange chakra from the land of waves."

Naruto nodded and said, "Well your reacting faster than Sakura did. Alright, well, the villagers never got the memo that you can't kill a demon made of chakra so easily, so they think I'm the reincarnation of the nine tails and not his container. Leading them to abuse me emotionally, physically, and," he sighed, holding in tears, "sexually."

Sasuke's eyes widened to the size of saucers as he said, "I-I can't believe they would- But your still only- They did that to a- How are you even able to- Imma kill them. Tell me who and I'll slaughter 'em."

Naruto shook his head and said, "There's too many people and most wear things to cover their faces. It's just a useless thing to try and do. Especially since they make up about half the village's population."

Sasuke's jaw dropped even more as he tried to find words but couldn't. He then hugged Naruto tightly and said, "I'm so sorry. I never knew. I would have helped you or at least tried."

Naruto nodded and let a tear fall onto Sasuke's shoulder as he said, "I know, but it doesn't matter now. I plan to leave the village on my birthday. I've been planning to do so for a few years."

Sasuke pulled away and looked saddened. So Naruto added, "I started my plan because jinchuriki are now treated horrible everywhere. I want to save the others from their hells and maybe create a village. I also plan on taking my most precious people along. Meaning I want to take you with me Sasuke. You and Sakura. Will you agree to this?"

Sasuke didn't even think about his answer as he replied, "Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! But doesn't that mean that neither me nor Sakura will be able to become chunin?"

Naruto shook his head and said, "If I can get you strong enough before the last day, you two can take the chunin test privately, as long as an anbu or ex-anbu recommends it. I already started teaching Sakura today because she asked me last night. So if you go to training ground 44 tomorrow morning, we can continue training together. Though, I should warn you, I already made her a long stronger than she was before. I use a jutsu that makes a single out feel like a 100 days, so her training advanced drastically because of this. You may be behind when we get started, so don't feel too bad about it. I'm sure you'll catch up to her very quickly with that sharingan of yours."

Sasuke nodded in response and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Naruto smiled and said, "Yes. A few things actually." He took a breathe before saying, "I'm the son of the fourth hokage and his wife. Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki."

Sasuke gaped and said, "So, your practically royalty, completely overpowered, have been traumatised, and still have a kind heart. I think you managed to make me fall for you more."

Naruto sighed and said, "Not intentionally Sasuke. And I don't want you to be hurt by what I'm going to say next. But you probably will be, so don't run away if you feel like you'll cry."

Sasuke nodded, knowing he wouldn't like the next secret. Then Naruto said, "I'm falling for Gaara."

Sasuke felt the need to go and hide in a dark corner as he felt the world crashing in on him, but he didn't move. He stayed stock still as a few tears left his eyes. Naruto quickly hugged him and started rubbing his back, saying, "It's okay."

Sasuke soon gathered himself, pulled away, and asked, "Do you plan on bringing him too?"

Naruto nodded and said, "I would have brought him anyways though, because he carries the one tails."

Sasuke then understood, so he said, "I never stood a chance of winning you against someone who could understand you so much more than I could."

Naruto smiled and said, "Your understanding of me is what made is close. But his made us closer. And I can already tell that he likes me back. He blushes as much as you do. But I'm not going to ask him out right away because I haven't fully fallen for him yet, and asking someone out too soon is fatal to the relationship."

Sasuke nodded in response and said, "Alright. Now is that all you wanted to tell me? It's getting dark so you should be getting back to Gaara and his siblings."

Naruto nodded and said, "Yes, it is. Remember, meet at training ground 44 tomorrow morning at 10. Oh, and make sure to call me sensei when we're there. Don't tell anyone I'm training you though, as it would not bode well for them to find out and spread it around the village."

Sasuke nodded again, so Naruto stood and began walking towards the door and said, "See you then."

Sasuke replied, "See yah." And he was off.

Naruto walked through the compound and walked towards the place Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara were at. He soon entered to find them sitting in the room, talking. Walking a bit closer, he could hear, "-like him. I don't know what to do about it though. And I'm not even sure if he likes me back. Aparently, the last person to confess their feelings to him, the person Naruto is closest to, ended up heartbroken because Naruto didn't like him back."

Temari replied, "Well, if you like him, tell him. But not right away. That's like begging to get your your heart broken. Wait a few days, then tell him and ask him if he feels the same. If he does, then we'll be happy for you Gaara."

Naruto chose that moment to make his presence known as he said, "Hello guys. Both Sasuke and Sakura passed their tests with flying colors and have agreed to come with."

Gaara smiled at Naruto and said, "I'm glad they agreed."

Naruto then said, "It's getting late. We should go get some sleep. Gotta wake up early tomorrow to train Sasuke and Sakura."

Gaara nodded and said, "Alright. I'll see you two tomorrow. Goodnight Temari, Kankuro."

The red head then gave both of his siblings a quick hug before leaving. Naruto followed him out and they both walked to the place they were staying at.

When they got inside, Naruto said, "Wanna sleep like we did last night?"

Gaara blushed, remembering what he did when he woke up, then nodded. So they headed to the room the slept in the night before, and got onto the bed. Then, Naruto moved around so Gaara could lay his back against his front. Gaara moved into position as well and said, "Well, goodnight Naruto."

Naruto smiled and said, "Goodnight Gaara."

Then they both started to fall asleep, listening to each other breath, ending day 8.
