Day 9 (Part 2)
No POV
"Hokage-sama, do you have a mission for me?" The blonde asked after arriving the the presence of the Hokage.
"Yes, i would like you to go to the village hidden in the sand and escort their ninja here for the chunin exam that is coming soon. They need to arrive safely. One of them is their jinchuriki, you keep an eye on him and make sure he won't be a danger to us." On the inside, Naruto was both excited to meet another jinchuriki, but also extremely angry at what the Hokage was saying. But on the outside, he had a completely blank expression and nodded, showing he accepted the mission. "Okay, good. You should be gone for 5 Days, so pack your things."
"Hokage-sama, it will only take me 1." Naruto said as he bowed and shunshined out.
All Sarutobi could do was lean back in his chair and sigh, Why did he hide himself for so long?
Outside the hokage tower
"Naruto! Hey!" Yelled an annoying voice as it approached.
Naruto knew exactly who it was, long before they yelled. It was Sakura. "What Sakura?"
Sakura was surprised he didn't even look at her before saying this, but she continued, on a personal mission. "C-Can you please, ma-Maybe. Uh. CAN YOU PLEASE TRAIN ME NARUTO!"
As Naruto recovered from the banshee's screeching, he thought it over. He then decided that it was okay with him, since it would only be 8 Days of training."Sure, first lesson, quit the damn screaming. You'll make someone go deaf. Second, meet tomorrow at training ground 44. 10 Am. No earlier or later. Don't go inside until i'm there. I have a mission today so we can't start until tomorrow. Don't tell the others or they'll try to do the same and i refuse to take on anyone else as a student. But call me sensei when we are alone. Got it?" Naruto finished his orders and watched as Sakura seemed to finish processing all the information.
"Alright! Naru-Yes, sensei." She said smiling, happy that such a strong person was going to be her teacher.
Since Naruto had shown his true abilities, Sakura has been punishing herself for always being so mean to someone like him. For always being such a bitch towards him. And through this thinking, she realized how useless she truly was and decided to ask for him to train her.
Naruto, after getting his reply, turned away from the girl and started walking towards the village gate, already having his supplies for the mission. As he walked he thought of a plan for what to do with Sakura. She's a genjutsu type. We should focus on that with her. But we need to strengthen everything else as well. Maybe we should teach her the medical ninjutsu. That's always a helpful one. Yeah, that's a good idea. We should also use that jutsu where a single day feels like years. Since she'll only have the next 8 Days to get stronger. Agreed. Thanks Kurama. Now, lets go meet that other jinchuriki.
Outside of Konoha
Naruto was walking along the path, then he decided to use his speed and quickly was at Sunagakure.
He walked to the gate and let his presence be known. He continued to wear his masked and showed the person at the gate, his note from the hokage permitting him to enter the village and escort their genin to the testing site in Konohagakure.
Once his entry was confirmed, he entered and stuck to the shadows. Making his way to the Kazekage tower. As he arrived, he was asked to remove his mask. But, being a mission, his Hokage wouldn't permit it, so he stated his business and was let through to see the Kazekage.
He soon entered the office and spoke to the leader of Suna, "I am here to escort your children to Konohagakure for the chunin exams. When shall we leave?" Naruto asked, with a stable and polite tone.
The kazekage seemed shocked at the size of the boy claiming to be the anbu that would escort his jinchuriki. "Show me the document." After being asked this, Naruto easily slipped the paper to the Kazekage and allowed him to examine him. He knew his size was not of the average anbu, but it didn't bother him. "Alright, you can take them as soon as they are read-" As he finished, the door burst open and in came a girl with blonde hair and a fan.
"Temari! You shouldn't just burst into my office! Your going to participate in the chinin exams! Learn some respect for your Kazekage!" The Kazekage yelled. Naruto could see that this was just a show to the anbu that he ruled with an iron fist, because Temari, as she was previously called, looked completely bewildered at the surprise berating from her father. Then she noticed my presence and understood.
"Yes father, i apologize. Is this our escort?" She pointed at Naruto.
"Yes. This is. Bring him to your brothers and finish your preparations so he can escort you away." He stated, giving his daughter a look of apology for yelling at her.
She then nodded and began her departure. Naruto followed, quietly behind her. She seemed to not be able to sense his chakra, because she periodically looked back to make sure he was still following.
Soon, they made it to a home near the back of the village. It was tall and spacious and well built. "Can you tell me your name?" She asked, seemingly trying to strike up a conversation.
Naruto just said, "Kitsune. That's my anbu name and all you are permitted to know about me."
Temari seemed angered at his bluntness on the topic, but soon, it contorted into confusion at the realization at how young Naruto's voice sounded. "You seem young."
"You are not permitted to know my age either." Naruto said, knowing what she was about to ask. "All i can say is i passes all the test and am a full anbu even though i am, as you said, young."
She looked annoyed with the answer, but pleased that he at least replied. Women are so fickle. Not all. Some, yes. Temari finally opened the door to her abode and lead Naruto inside. She then shouted, "Kankuro! Gaara! Our escort is here!!"
Naruto heard a groan of annoyance come from above and watched as a boy with lots of make up on came down. "Temari, you know you can't boss him around. He'll get mad again."
Naruto noticed the fear in the boy's voice and watched a red head walk down the stares. Eyes of seefoam. Skin of the paling color. Dark rings circling his eyes to show his complete lack of sleep. And a tattoo on his forehead that read, "Love" Which he clearly never knew what it meant. That must be the jinchuriki. He's cute. Naruto watched the boy approach him.
"I am Kitsune. I will be your escort. Are you ready to depart?" Naruto stated, showing no emotion or urgency whatsoever.
"Yes, we are. Lets go." The boy named Gaara, stated. Naruto took his cue and left the home with the three siblings following behind him. The one who looks most like his father is the one his father doesn't like hmmm? Interesting. Says a lot about who the Kazekage is as a person. All it says is he originally planned for his son to be hailed a hero as your father did for you, and ultimately failed. I just wonder how similar the two of you truly are. With this, all of them left the sand village as it got dark.
Naruto saw how sleepy the older siblings were getting and stated, " If the two of you would like, you can take a nap while i carry you. It would very easy. We cannot risk stopping because i need to be back at the village by morning."
The siblings looked aprehensive, wondering if the small boy would be able to carry either of them, nevermind both. But then Gaara interrupted. "Kitsune, how do you expect to cover a 2 Day trip in a single night?"
The older siblings then realized his point and held tired questioning looks on their faces. Naruto simply answered, "Easily. But if you would like to know, i'll need to carry all of you. That includes you, Gaara."
The older ones gasped at Naruto's directness towards their highly dangerous little brother, then looked to watch for the boy's reaction. "F-Fine." Gaara said. Slightly stuttering nearly unnoticeably. The siblings were even more shocked at this reply, and stared as he walked towards Naruto and allowed his extended arm to wrap around him. "You two, hurry up." Gaara stated after already being in his escort's grip. He didn't understand why he agreed to it, but it was already getting to him, having never felt such cold skin.
"Y-Yes!" They said as they ran over and took their place in the boy's other arm.
Naruto quickly adjusted them and then took off at his normal speed. Albeit, a little slower than earlier in the day, but not by much. They definitely didn't notice a drop in speed seeing as they never saw his normal speed.
When Naruto noticed that the speed what sucking the air out of the normal ones, he created a passage of air that would flow into both of their lungs.
Soon, he arrived back at Konohagakure and logged his re-entry into the books at the gate. "We're here." He said as he placed down the siblings. Gaara looked like he just went on the best ride of his life. While Temari and Kankuro fell to the ground, feeling as if it were still moving beneath their feet.
Naruto then stated, "We have to alert the Hokage to your arrival, so follow me please." Naruto then started walking off, not much caring if any of the three fell behind. He felt all 3 Chakra's behind him though, so he continued walking, not looking back.
Once he arrived at the tower, he walked in and headed to the office prepared to allow the guests in. So when he heard the come in, he opened the door, revealing the old man in the chair to the three sand siblings. "Hokage-sama, here are Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara."
All three walked in, and Naruto followed after closing the door. "Kitsune, you may remove your mask and introduce yourself to these people. You will be in charge of them while they are in town."
Naruto was shocked by this. "Hokage-sama, the apartment i live in is not suited for these three in the least. Where shall i keep them during their stay?" Naruto decided not to take off his mask until the hokage said where they would be going.
"Bring them to the old Uchiha grounds. You must also stay there while they are here. I have already spoken to Sasuke Uchiha and he agreed most enthusiastically in letting you stay there. But not in the mansion part because that is his own home." Naruto was happy to hear he would be able to stay with his brother during all of this. So he took off his mask.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I am 12 Years old." He stated addressing the siblings, then he turned back to the Hokage. "Hokage-sama, am i permitted to tell them those 2 secret? Since we already know theirs?"
Gaara's head turned to Naruto quickly, then it turned to the Hokage, wondering what this secret could be, and promising if Naruto wasn't permitted, he would assassinate the Hokage. "Yes. Tell them."
"Alright. I am the jinchuriki of the 9 Tailed fox. The rest of the village either does not know that i am, or believes me to be it's reincarnation. I am also the son of Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, the 4th Hokage and his wife. Making me the heir to those clans. But again, the village does not know." Naruto finished. Saddened by the looks on the older siblings faces.
Temari held fear, and Kankuro held contempt. But one look at Gaara and his mood cheered up with ease. He showed admiration, excitement, and a tiny spark of true happiness. "Alright you three, follow me. Would you like food before we go to the clan area? We don't have anything from the sand village for cuisine, but we have the best Ramen." Naruto didn't give his stupid grin, but he did side smile, pointed directly at Gaara.
Quickly Gaara agreed, but washed the excitement out of his voice so his siblings wouldn't believe he'd gone soft.
"Alright, follow me. It's a place called Ichiraku Ramen." He then lead the sand siblings out of the tower and into the streets. The majority of people were asleep or in stores, so no one noticed their presence.
As soon as they all arrived at Ichiraku's, Naruto put on a fake looking a strained smile, and walked in. "Teuchi! Ayame! We have guests from the sand village!" Naruto shouted, loud but not loud enough for people outside the shop to hear.
Gaara didn't like this mask Naruto was putting on. It seemed totally different from what he had seen early. It seemed totally fake. Gaara didn't like it.
"Naruto, keep your voice down," Said a man with squinted eyes as he walked into the main area of the restaurant. "What would you and your friends like, Naruto?"
"We'll all have miso ramen." Naruto continued to present the mask, even as he ate. And when he finished, he asked for another one and another one. By the time the sand siblings finished one each, Naruto had finished 8. "Alright, i'm done now. Do you guys want more?"
They all shook their heads, though they did like the food. "Alright, then lets get going." Naruto gave the old man, probably Teuchi, the money, and started his way out of the shop and into the street. He quickly dropped his fake smile and fake eye glint as hr exited.
He spotted people leaving a restaurant across the street and started to walk faster, seemingly trying to get away from them.
"Okay, we're almost there everyone. Let's slit into pairs for the houses." Naruto said.
Immediately Gaara said, "I'll take the house with Naruto. Temari, Kankuro, you two take one together as well."
Naruto was pleased about this. He had to discuss his plan with the boy, and if he was alone with him of his own choice, it would be that much easier. "Okay Gaara. You come with me, Temari and Kankuro, you take that place over there." Naruto then started leading Gaara to a bigger than most others, but still small, home.
As he walked in, he performed silent jutsu's all through the house as he gave a tour to Gaara. Making sure anything spoken in any room would be completely silent and unseen to the outside world. Anyone outside would see us sleeping. And Gaara made sure to lock all the windows and doors, so no one would disturb his fellow jinchuriki that he had so many questions for.
"Naruto-san, i would like to talk to you about somethings," Gaara said as they finished the tour and sat in the kitchen.
"Alright Gaara-kun. What would you like to ask me?" Naruto asked. Happy to answer any questions the boy had.
"Does your biju make it so you can never sleep?" Gaara asked.
"No. It's the villagers that do that." Naruto said, deciding to be completely open to the boy with as many things as he was able without hurting himself mentally.
"So your villagers abuse you as well?" Gaara asked, saddened by the thought the such a beautiful boy would be abused just like he was.
"Yes. And they do worse than just normal abuse." Naruto said, turning his head down. He knew he wouldn't be able to go into detail, so he added, "How about we meet each other's biju? Kurama says he wants to meet you." No I Didn't. Just go with it. I can't tell them anything about my abuse without wanting to harm myself. Please? Alright Kit. Send him in. Naruto smiled and left his mind scape, just in time for Gaara to do the same.
Within a few more seconds, Kurama, Gaara, Naruto, and Shukaku, were all in the same space. "Shukaku, It's been a long time. I hope your treating your jinchuriki right." Kurama boomed.
"Like i would ever treat a human as anything more than trash." Shukaku boomed back. "Kurama, are you actually treating a jinchuriki nicely?"
"Yes i am. He needs all the help he van get after what those villagers do to him. They think he's the reincarnation of me because no one told the idiots that I cannot die so easily. Or stay dead for long." Kurama growled. Naruto, was flinching at the mention at what the villagers do. And Gaara was just staring at the seen in wonder.
Then Gaara remembered, "Kurama-san, what did you want to talk to me about?"
"He's so respectful. You should treat him better Shukaku. Now Gaara, my Kit over here had been through a lot more than you have. He bas no parents, the villagers beat him in fear and disgust, he does have one person who loves him, and one person who looks up to him, but that is only because he showed his abilities to them on the first. The villagers have also abused him sexually for a very long time." As Kurama finished this statement, Gaara stared at Naruto with sad and shocked eyes. Not wanting to think that this boy, this beautiful boy, had suffered even more than he did. Naruto nearly collapsed on the ground crying, but instead only let a few tears fall. Tears that were not missed by Gaara's watchful eyes. Gaara ran over and hugged Naruto.
"Why doesn't he just leave his village then?" Gaara asked, knowing he thought about it a countless number of times.
"Well, that's something he wanted to discuss with you actually. A few years ago, we came up with an idea. This idea is to go and find all of the jinchuriki after he turned 13 and become rogue nin with them. You're the first one he found, so would you like to join use when we run away 8 Days from midnight?" Kurama asked.
"You would really take me with you? You would help me escape the life I live in the sand?" Gaara asked, happy and shocked at the opportunity that had just popped out of no where.
"Yes. We would." Said Naruto as he collected himself again. "I have shadow clones in every hidden village, and spread out through territories, trying to find the remaining jinchuriki I don't already know about. A total of 49 Of them. My 50th helped me with a mission after making sure his territory didn't have any jinchuriki."
"Wow. I'll come with you. Where ever you go." Gaara said before he could even think about the words coming out of his mouth. He then blushed as he thought about what he had just said, knowing he sounded like one of the fangirls that always go after other people his age.
"Kurama, you can send us back to reality now. Keep talking to Shukaku as long as you want though." Naruto said, as he prepared to be sent back.
"If me and this guy stay in the same space for too long, we fight. So i'm heading back with you." Kurama said as he sent everyone back to their designated places.
"Gaara, I have a way of allowing you to sleep without being taken over by Shukaku. Kurama taught me it. Let's go to a room with less pointy edges." Naruto said as he stood up and began walking, already having seen the look of happiness in the boy's eyes.
When they arrived at the correct room, Naruto cast a jutsu on the place that would lock everything inside until Naruto undid the jutsu. He then brought Gaara over to the center of the room, "This will hurt, Gaara. But it will be worth it in the end."
Naruto then made a slew of fast hand signs, only to put his hands down on Gaara's head afterwards. Gaara screamed in immense pain as his eyes rolled up in his head. His seal started to crawl around his body and a seal started to crawl from Naruto's hands, being sent down his face, and to the actual seal on the boy. The seal's mingled and turned into something new. A 9 pronged seal with 5 Rings. But it was so tiny, and inside of his belly button, it was unseeable. Naruto then released his hands from the boy's head and fell onto the ground. Only to quickly pull himself up to catch the exhausted boy. The moment Gaara's head hit Naruto's arms, Gaara said, "Thank you, Naruto." Then he passed out.
Naruto picked up the boy, undid the room's jutsu, and walked out, carrying the boy to the beds that were already laid out for them. "You are truly beautiful Gaara. And so strong. I may just fall for you someday soon."
And with that, Naruto passed out, ending day 9.
