"Put me down!"

"No."

"Just you wait, once my hands are free I'm going to kick your ass then Rasengan all of the-"

Naruto gasped as he felt his butt being cupped by the others hand. "What the-!"

"It was getting in my way."

'How did I get myself in this mess?'

Xxxxx Flashback xxxxX

It's has been four days straight, nonstop training since Naruto arrived at Mount Myoboku. He struggled endlessly with his balanced and concentration, especially when his stomach growled. It seemed that no matter how much he trained, he never gotten that much muscle, even when he ate, no access body fat was gained, his body was so slim and has curves that would surely put Temari, Ino, and Sakura to shame.

This was one of the reasons he wears the orange suit, to distract peers from his feminine body, which embarrassed him right now since the toads keep staring at after he had taken off the top. Revealing his upper body, he would lose his concentration from the remarks and thus caused Naruto to lose his balance.

"Can't I be alone for once?" remarked Naruto, slamming some of the toad's heads with his fist.

Even though he has tried showing his body to females, it had only backfired by girls glaring at him while it had only gain the attention of males in Konoha. It was only when he accidentally kissed Sasuke that Naruto found out that he was attracted to the same sex, in which he would lick his lips hoping to taste them again.

Sasuke.

He is the whole reason he is training and putting up with every task that was given to him. He will bring him back and hopefully everything will return to normal like the old times. He clearly knew it will never going to happen, but that didn't stop him from trying.

"Naruto, you should rest." said the Head Toad Sage, Fukasaku.

"That's okay, but I need to practice more if I planned to get stronger." said Naruto, sitting once more down under a clover leaf.

"Alright, but don't over do yourself." said the toad as he leaped away along with the others of his kind.

'Finally some silence' thought Naruto gaining his concentration again, but as soon as his chakra was build up, thunder rang through out the forest scaring the blond as he jumped a few inches off the ground. Wrapping its arms around his legs, bringing them closer to his chest, he cradles himself a little, whimpering.

This was a secret that nobody knew. Naruto hates and is terribly afraid of thunder. It was difficult to explain, but every since he can remember, every time there was rain he just stood still petrified until the clashing that made him wrapped himself into a ball. To this day it still has the same effect.

Covering his head between his arms and legs, thunder erupted close by along with lightning striking right next to him. This caused Naruto to shiver. Standing up, he sends all his chakra to his feet to dash away. With the rain hitting his clothes, it made it cling to his skin, but it was the thunder that rang through his ears that made him go faster. Not finding any shelter, his eyes started to become blurry from the tears that threaten to come out, as his breathing became heavily with every step that he took. In the distance a tree root was stuck out from the ground, not paying attention where he stepped, Naruto trip over it and stumble down.

'I'm scared...I'm scared' Was the only thought that processed through his mind, as he didn't dare to rise up only clutching the dirt tight under his palm. His whole is body trembling at the amount of fear running through his body.

It was only the sound of approaching steps that dared Naruto to look up at the upcoming figure from the shadows of the so called forest. If he remembers exactly, the Great Toad Sage said it was difficult to find this place by foot unless one knows the secret route to it.

Naruto's eyes widen as he took in to see a black robe and red clouds imprinted on it, causing him to back away. Akatsuki. As his eyes traveled north did he notice medium length spiky orange hair, that clang to a headband that had a scratched across the symbol, while piercing light purple ripple like eyes stare directly at him, though what scared and confused him most what the amount of concern display in them. It seemed also that everywhere in his face seemed to be covered by metal piercings.

"You're still scared of thunder." asked Pein, though it sounded more like a statement.

Crawling backwards, but his back came to an uproot stop as it hit a tree. Naruto stayed away from the person not trusting his voice to reply back. Pein soon unzipped his cloak only to step forward as he covered Naruto with it, putting it over him that the top of his head as well since it fitted him big.

"What are you doing?" questioned Naruto shakily, finally finding his voice, but instead of his question being answered, he felt himself being lifted up and thrown over a shoulder. Like a sack, stuttering at what just happened, Naruto was about to remark at the treatment before a blinding light surrounded him. Slowly opening his eyes, he blinks at their area before rubbing his eyes and staring. There were several metallic skyscrapers and power lines everywhere, overall it was highly industrialized. Amegakure.

That was how he got in this kind of situation, recalling the past events, and the rain wasn't helping much either. At least he had the cloak to keep him warm and dry from it. Though even if Pein was the enemy, he made Naruto feel safe somehow, probably by the way he was holding him, so protective. Naruto then had the sudden urge to do something in return, questioning over how he should get the attention of the other he decided to poke Pein in the back of his head.

"What?" replied the Akatsuki's leader.

"Can you piggyback ride me instead? I'm feeling kind of dizzy being on your shoulder."

Pein stopped on his track to lowered Naruto down while he leans down shifting his back to the boy. Naruto climbed the rogue's back as he pulls on the cloak to loom over Pein's head to block the rain. Pein just smirked at the action that Naruto displayed,

'So you haven't completely forgotten.' thought Pein.

Naruto soon felt his eyes get heavy, which in matter of minutes he was deep slumber, something that hadn't happen in a long time. The rain long forgotten along with the booming sounds of thunder from afar. He felt secure and comfortable right where he was unknowingly to himself.

'Aniki!' cried a boy of age three with messy blond hair, eyes blue as ocean with tears dripping out of them. His chubby hands cupping his face while his pajamas got stained, consisting of a short black boxer with an over sized white turtle neck shirt that covered all of his body except his feet. The boy was in the middle of a room while scattered toys laid everywhere, some broken into parts other looked used and rusted, but to the child those toys were his greatest treasure especially the stuffed orange fox that laid on his lap.

The door opened slowly which caused the room to be illuminated, but the coming light was too bright for the boy to see clearly. Only the silhouette of a person can be distinguished, but somehow the child knew who it was. The shadow ruffled the child's hair while crouching in front of him.

'What's wrong Naru-chan?' asked the unknown person. Distinctly recognize as a male by the owners voice.

'It's too dark outside and loud bangs keep scaring me.' answered the boy between sobs as he started to hiccup.

'Don't worry Naru. It's just a little boy playing with the lights, and bouncing a ball, you'll see, soon his parents would ground him and everything will be over. So, don't cry Naru. Everything will be okay, I promised.'

'Aniki, can I sleep with you?'

'Sure. Anything for you Naru-chan.'

Naruto slowly started to open his eyes which were meet by red dim lights, he could feel that he was in a bed, but the whole where, how, when, and why haven't been grasped yet. Once Naruto realized what was happening, he bolted out of the bed which caused him for his feet to give up and landed butt down on the floor. "Great. At least no one saw that." said Naruto as he rubbed his rear end.

The room seemed to be decorated with such a warmth, blue walls with dim lights dangling in every corner, a small TV located on top of small table, a king size bed with two night stands on opposite sides each with a lava lamp filled with azure chakra, the floor covered in white carpet all over. On the couch, off the opposite side of the bed stood a fox looking stuff animal on the far end which caught the attention of Naruto instantly.

"Why do you seem familiar?" asked Naruto waking over to it, sitting beside it as his hands ran through its fur. Just then the door opened revealing a blue hair woman with some kind of paper flower on it; she also wore the Akatsuki robe, meaning she's an enemy. She seemed to be deep thought, but cast it aside as she brought a bowl of soup, ramen filled the air instantly which made Naruto perked up.

"I see that you have woken Shuhan." said the women bowing a little, careful not to spill any contents of the soup.

"Who are you?" asked Naruto getting up from his place to be in defense mode moving his hands to the kunai pouch on his back.

"So you truly have forgotten."

"Answer the question!" growled Naruto. 'What she meant by that?'

"I apologize my lord, my name is Konan." said the women placing the trait in the nightstand.

"Konan, where exactly am I." stated Naruto, he wasn't going to be nice to the enemy that was going to extract the Kyuubi from him and in the process killing him.

"You're in your room located in the Akatsuki Hideout which is underground of the rain village, ruled by Pein, the men who brought you here." said Konan.

"Hold on a sec! My room?" by this point Naruto stared at Konan as if she just grew two heads. What does she mean by his room? He's room is in an apartment in Konoha, not here! "Explain!"

"I'm sorry Shuhan, but Pein made his orders clear, not to tell you nothing until further orders." said Konan.

"Great! Is there anyone that doesn't listen to him?" screamed Naruto in frustration letting himself fall on the bed. Seeing she wasn't going to attack him anytime soon, besides, he wasn't to keen on fighting with females.

"Itachi, Sasori, Deidara, and Kisame are under your command, but they aren't here right now, you should talk to them when they're back."

"Uchiha Itachi!" bolted Naruto to look at Konan to see if she was bluffing, but she only nodded. "No wonder he never did anything to me."

"Pein gave you those members because they are the strongest, he wanted you to be in well hands while he isn't watching you." stated Konan.

"Okay hold on. What I'm a saying? How did I get followers! You talk as if I was once part of this organization, and there is no way in hell that bastard gave me those guys, so I suggest you stop with all this whole bullcrap scheme, and start spilling the truth." said Naruto pulling two kunais out of his pouch and getting in a fighting stance.

Receiving no answer, Naruto dash toward her about to strike, but his whole body was slammed against the wall suddenly, dropping his weapons as an outcome. Screaming out an excruciating pain sound as his air was sucked out of his body. Konan turn to see Pein standing on the door looking pissed; she knew that what Naruto said did not sit well with him.

'Rejection.' thought Konan.

Slowly, Pein walked forward toward Naruto lifting his chin to meet each other in the eyes, blue with silver. He leaned closer to the blond so their headbands touch each other. Naruto could practically feel the heat radiating from the other. He only glares at Pein; he wasn't going to show any signs of weakness to the bastard.

"You think all that was a lie? Otouto."
