I'll be putting authors notes at the bottom and I'm going to be changing a few things as I felt that I was using too much of Nightmares original story. I hope I keep you guys liking the story.

Original idea came from Nightmares Around Winter and Fox Boss. Don't own DB/DBZ or Naruto.

Speech: "Kamahamaha"

Thought: 'Kamahamaha"

Biju speech: "Kamahamaha"

Biju thought: 'Kamahamaha"

The sun was starting to lower in the sky over Konohagakure no Sato and people were preparing for the festival celebrating the defeat of the dreaded Kyuubi no Kitsan, the mightiest of the biju, at the hands of the Yondaime Hokage. For the kunoichi and majority of the civilian female population this was also the time to celebrate the birth of their savior's children. For the male civilians this was also a time for the 'fox hunt'.

"Oji-chan, can we go to the festival?" Asked a boy that was no more than ten years old. He had lightly tanned skin, spiky red hair with black tips that dropped to his shoulder blades as well as covering his dark violet colored eyes and whisker like marks on his cheeks. He was wearing a blue short sleeved t-shirt, black pants and black shoes. He was walking down the street tugging on the sleeve of an elderly man's shirt.

The man in question was short, obviously showing signs of his advanced age. He had a wrinkled face that had a smile his face, bushy white mustache and black eyes. He was wearing a chinese martial arts uniform, which consists of a sleeveless orange jacket over a long sleeved black shirt and black pants. He also was wearing a green hat wearing and a pair of simple black shoes.

"I don't see why not, Naruto-kun." The old man said to the young boy as he pushed the boy towards a local park that had a group of children playing, "I'll be back in a bit, there is something that I have to handle first."

The young boy gave the older man a wide smile, showing of a set of sharpened canine. The smile made the boy look very fox like, "Ok, oji-chan, I'll see you later!" He exclaimed as he took off towards the park.

The older man gave a sad smile as he shook his head at the boy's bright attitude. He could tell that the child hurt more than he let on. The old man sighed as he turned around and made his way towards the Hokage Tower.

-With Naruto-

Naruto stopped running after he had gotten a good distant from his oji-chan. He looked around him and sighed as he shook his head, 'Just more of the same.' He thought.

The reason for his thought was that most of the male portion of the village had almost irrational hatred for him. He doesn't even know why they hate him, but they usual call him demon when they chase him. The boy kicked a metal can that was lying on the ground as he thought about why the civilians treated him the way they did. It seemed that he had used more force than he meant to 'cause the can soared through the air and impacted against the back of a man's head.

A nervous sweatdrop formed on the back of the boy's head as a large bump formed on the man's head. The man that was hit by the can was sitting at a small sake stand, "Head pains before I've even took one sip," the man said as he held the cup and look, "this stuff must be fantastic!"

The man sitting next to the one that was hit gave a frustrated sigh at his companion's idiotic behavior, "Someone attacked you, moron."

"Oh, then I guess I'll just have to play a game of patty-cake with them!" He exclaimed as he stood up and the boy gulped nervously as he saw how tall the man was. The man was a giant standing at a mighty 6"10". He was bald, had fair skin and had a thin, black handle bar mustache. He had a muscular build and he was wearing yellow samurai that had black markings on the spaudlers. He grabbed a large kanabo that was made out of dark-grey steel and had a large ring on the handle end. The giant man held the mace by the ring and began to swing it lazily as he looked for the person that hit him.

Naruto gulped as he took a step backwards. He wasn't focused on his surroundings and backed into the body of a person. He turned his head around and saw that the person was a male civilian that was holding a bottle to his lips. The boy's eyes widened as he watched the man give a startled yelp before shouting in rage.

"You little shit!" The male civilian roared before he backhanded the red haired boy, sending him to the ground.

At the abuse directed at the child three things happened: A hidden ANBU rushed to the scene to make sure that the child wasn't hit again. The bald samurai, welding his mace like weapon rushed forward screaming 'YEAH!'. And the man sitting at the sake stand had a sudden case of face to counter as he groaned in frustration.

Naruto watched wide eyed, oblivious to the stinging sensation in his left cheek as he watched the samurai use his weapon to send the civilian man soaring through the sky and off into the horizon. "Wow." Was all that the boy could manage to utter as he stared up at the giant man that towered over him.

A kunoichi ANBU shunshined in front of the two males. She had spiky, shoulder length silver hair and fair skin judging by what could be seen of her shoulders. Her face was hidden by the porcelain mask that she was wearing. The mask was made to look like a dog and she was wearing the stranded ANBU gear.

"Inu-nee-san!" Naruto shouted as he jumped to his feet and started towards the ANBU.

The silver haired ANBU glanced down at the red haired boy as he ran up to her. The woman placed a hand on his head as he hide behind her. Inu looked towards the samurai and spoken in an emotionless voice that one had from working in ANBU, "Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to drop your weapon and come quietly with me."

"Hey, Vegeta, it's a dog faced lady!" The giant man exclaimed, totally ignoring the ANBU's request as he looked back towards the man that was sitting at the sake stand. A sweatdrop formed on the woman's head at the stupid behavior of the giant man.

The man at the stand growled lightly in irritation as he stood up and walked towards the small group of people before stopping next to the large man. When compared next to the giant man, Vegeta wouldn't seem that imposing duo to his height, but the aura that surrounded him spoke volumes about how deadly this man was. The short man was about five foot four inches tall, had spiky black hair that was giving a constant 'fuck off' to the law of gravity and had a widow's peak. He had tanned skin, black eyes and a decently muscled frame. He was dressed in white samurai armor that had yellow spaulders. On his waist was a katana in a black sheath along with a wakizashi and a tachi sheath on his back. The man had on a scowl on his face as he glared at his companion.

"What did I say about causing unwarranted trouble?" Vegeta asked the larger man who only responded by grinning back at him.

"But I had to make sure that I am the undisputed patty cake champion."

"God damn it, Nappa!" The black haired man exclaimed as he threw his hand up in the air in frustration, "Who told you such a stupid thing?!" He demanded.

Nappa took a thought fully pose, which made him look almost smart, almost, "I don't know, Vegeta," the giant man then grinned widely, "maybe the dog faced lady can help use figure that out!"

The ANBU looked between the two men standing before her and looked down at the child that was hiding behind her leg. She doesn't get paid enough to deal with idiots like the bald man. She knelt down and patted Naruto on the head, "You can go on and play, Naru-kun, I'll deal with this two."

The spiky haired boy was hesitant to leave the ANBU, not only because he was afraid that she would get hurt because of the two samurai but also because of the drunken mods that would be roaming around the village later. The ANBU seemed to have picked up on his emotions, because she gave him a reassuring hug before she stood up and faced the two men, who had stopped arguing, talking, whatever it is that they do and were looking at the ANBU and boy.

"Aww, isn't that adorable, Vegeta?" Nappa asked the shorter man. The black haired samurai gave a grunt in response as he turned around and headed back towards the sake stand. The bald giant quickly fallowed as he ran his mouth while the spiky haired man's left eye brow had a sudden spasm.

"You go and play, Naru-kun." The ANBU said as she lightly pushed him away.

The red haired boy grinned at the ANBU, "Ok, Inu-nee-chan!" He replied before taking off.

Naruto ran into the park and looked around for anyone that would look like they would want to hang out. He saw a group of kids that were around his age standing near a pond. As he got closer he heard one boy yell out, "That is so cool!" Naruto noticed that a girl seemed to be standing on the surface of the water. She had long sun-kissed blond hair that was tied into twin pigtails that reached down to her shoulder blades, tan skin, and cerulean blue eyes. She was wearing a white t-shirt that had a orange uzumaki swirl on it, blue shorts and blue ninja sandals. She had a look of concentration was on her face.

The blond haired girl smirked at the group of people as she concentrated her chakra at the soles of her feet. Her smirk turned into a wide smile as she saw a red haired boy walk up towards the group of kids, "Naruto-kun!" She yelled out as she kicked off from the water surface and jumped towards the shore.

The red haired boy smiled a wide smile as he recognized the girl. He gave a small bow in a show of respect, "Narumi-sama, it has been a while since we last seen each other." Naruto said as he rose up from the bow and snickered a bit as he saw the girl's reaction to the title he used.

Narumi pouted cutely and crossed her arms over her chest, "I told you not to call me that." She said in a slightly miffed tone of voice.

Nauto smiled at the girl, "Well you are the daughter of the Yondaime Hokage," Naruto responded as he shrugged his shoulders. He glanced at one of the boys and his smile lessened a bit as he saw the looks that they were giving him, 'Just like the rest of the men.' He thought.

Narumi shook her head, "I don't care about those stupid titles, dattebayo!" She exclaimed before she smiled widely at the red haired boy.

"It doesn't change the fact that you are still the daughter of the Yondaime." The boy said as he shrugged his shoulders. He noticed that two girls were approaching them and his smiled widened.

"NARUTO-KUN!" One of the girls yelled out as she ran up and tackled him at blinding speed. The red haired boy grunted as the girl hit him full force and he fell onto his butt. The girl had black hair that was tied into a single braid that dropped to her shoulder blades, black eyes and eyebrows that he thought were rather cute on her. She was wearing a light green martial artist shirt and black pants. Naruto tried to speak, but he found that all the air in his lungs was leaving him from the force of the girls hug.

"Stop it, Lei," the other girl exclaimed as she grabbed the girl now known as Lei off of the red head, "can't you see you're hurting him." The girl in question had brown hair that she had up in two buns as well as chocolate brown eyes and fair skin. She was wearing a red t-shirt and blue shorts.

Naruto took a few lung full breaths as he rubbed his chest were Lei had given him a bear hug, "Thanks, Tenten-chan." He said as he gave the brown haired girl a wide grin that caused her cheeks to turn a light pink.

-At the Hokage Tower-

A person sitting behind the desk was a woman that had sun-kissed blonde hair that reached down to her shoulders and shined in the sunlight that beamed in from the big window, lightly tanned skin that had no blemish on it, bright blue eyes that had a kind look to them whenever she gazed upon her village, sensual curves that would cause any man and woman to drool and large d-cup breast that seemed to defy gravity. Minako Namikaze inwardly sighed as she finished overlooking a piece of paper that was from the Civilian Council. She took a stamp and pressed denied on it. The idiots had the gall to try and cut founding for the ninja program and use the money to build a new shopping mail, after they tear down on of the kunoichi training fields. She took a glance at the bane of all Kage and her right eyebrow twitched heavily. It seemed that the stack of paperwork had doubled! The kage was halfway to using a Futon jutsu to turn the cursed stack of paper into confetti when a knock came from the office's main door.

"Come in." The blonde kage said, relieved that she had an excuse to stop doing the paper work that she hated so much.

"Hokage-sama, there is someone here to see you." The secretary said.

"Bring them in." The kage replied as she interlaced her fingers and propped her elbows up on her desk. A moment later a elderly man walked into the room and stopped a foot or so from her desk before bowing respectfully.

"Greetings, Hokage-sama." Son Gohan said before rising up to meet the woman's gaze.

"And to you too, Gohan-san." The blonde women replied with a kind smile, but her eyes spoke worry as she looked at the old man before her, "May I ask why you have come to me today? Shouldn't you be celebrating Naruto-kun's birthday?"

Gohan took a set in the chair in front of the hokage's desk and sighed lightly as a downcast expression formed on his face.

This caused the Yondaime to become more concerned, had the kind old man turned out to be just like the rest of the men of this village, or has he finally caved in to the Civilian Council's demands that he hand over the boy? When the aged man spoke she was needless to say stunned.

"I wish to take Naruto away from this village for a few years." Gohan spoke as he raised his head to face the kage.

The expression on Minako's face changed from concern to shock and then to outrage, in less than a second, "And why would I let you take my only son away from his home?" She spoke in a low tone that held a good amount of rage, but there was also a small amount of resentment in her tone.

At the outburst from the village leader, Gohan's normally kind expression turned to one of barely confined rage. Had it not been for the kage before him he might have let loose all his anger and rage, "The dammed villagers are a plague to the young child!" The older man seethed, "If it hadn't been for me finding him two years ago after he had been thrown out of the orphanage he would have starved!"

Minako flinched at the martial arts master's words and looked down at her desk as tears began to form in her eyes.

Gohan's expression softened a bit as he gazed at the woman, "I know you did what you thought was best, and from a logical stand point I could see that you might have been right to think that if you were to have the fact that Naruto is your son hidden would protect him from your enemies," the old man said as he leaned back into his chair, "but that doesn't mean that he should suffer at the hands of this village while your hands are tied in regards to helping him."

The Yondaime sighed, "Does he wish to leave?"

Gohan nodded, "Reluctantly, the men of the village have yet to let go of their hate. It's only a matter of time before something happens."

The Hokage ran a hand through her blonde hair and sighed. The old man was right, she knew that, but it didn't mean that she enjoyed it. After a few seconds pause Minako spoke, "Very well, but I wish for him to return in five years."

The martial arts master grinned, "I think that can be arranged."

-Back with Naruto-

The red haired boy was hiding under a up turned cart as he gasped for breath. All he did was agree to a simple game of hide and seek, but it seemed that Kami had decided to play a dick move on him and threw in a group of drunken civilians. He silently cursed Kami, and all other deities for that matter for the problems he faced.

"Where d-did the demon ch-child go?!" Exclaimed on drunk that had a little too much to drink.

Another one called out, "Hey, kid, we were only messing around. So come on out and have a laugh with us."

Naruto mentally snorted at the man's attempt to coax him out of his hiding spot. They must be really drunk if they think he was going to fall for something like that, especially after they called him 'demon brat' and 'devil child'. The red haired boy gave a small sigh of relief and closed his eyes when he heard the men begin to leave. After a few minutes of waiting, the red haired child climbed out of his hiding spot and began to make his way back to where he had last seen his friends.

"There he is!" A male voice shout out not far behind Naruto. Not even taking a look behind him, the red haired child took off running down the street. The boy took pride in the fact that he was in good physical condition for his age, but he was still only a child and he soon found himself running out of breath as he heard the shouts of the drunken mob drawing closer.

It seemed that fate wasn't on the kids side this day as he wasn't paying attention to where his feet were placed and he tripped on chunk of wood and went sprawling onto the ground. Naruto gave a small cry of pain as he skinned his right knee, but he went to get back up, but he was pinned down by one of the men that had finally caught up to him.

"Thought you could get away, did you, you little demon?" The man asked in a deranged voice as he proceeded to bind Naruto's arms and legs with some rough rope. Soon the rest of the mob caught up to the two and quickly set about hauling the child away.

-time skip- (don't want to write about a child being brutally butchered, that just makes me sad)

Gohan sighed as he ran a hand through his white hair. Many thoughts ran through his mind at the moment. Most of them involved him unleashing his full might on the men of this village. How could a group of people be so filled with rage and grief that they would blindly attack a defenseless child? The aged man glanced at the sleeping form of his adopted grandchild.

Naruto lay on a hospital bed with a white blanket covering him up to his shoulders. His chest was rising and falling in a relaxed manner. A few seconds passed and the child's eyes slowly opened his eyes. A low groan escaped Naruto's lips as he slowly rose into a sitting position, "Oji-chan, how did I get here?" Naruto asked the old man.

Gohan sighed as he stood from the chair that he was sitting in and walked towards the hospital bed, "I'm glad to see that you're awake," he replied, "and to answer your question it was the Hokage that brought you here."

Naruto looked down at his own lap at his oji-chan's answer. The boy's eyebrows knitted together as he tried to understand why he was hated by the men of the village. The child was pulled from his own thoughts when the door to the hall opened and a nurse walked in holding a clipboard.

"Ok, he should be asleep for a few days at the least." She said before looking up from her clipboard and looked at the two men before shaking her head as an amused smile formed on her lips, "I see someone has made a speedy recovery." The woman quickly went about her work, checking the red haired child for any lingering injuries. When the nurse was finished she patted Naruto on the head, causing the boy to have a embarrassed blush, "I see you are in perfect health, Naruto-kun." She said as she turned to face the old man, "After your done spending time with the boy, you are going to have to fill out some paper work." She said in a business-like tone of voice. The nurse then left the room.

Once the nurse had left Gohan turned to his adopted grandchild and spoke, "Do you remember what happened?" The old man asked. There was a silence that lasted for about a minute before the red haired boy spoke.

"I can't really remember what happened, Oji-chan." Naruto said as he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly and gave a wide grin. Gohan didn't say anything, but he could tell that the child wasn't telling him the truth. It seemed that despite the progress that he had made with the child he still didn't fully trust Gohan, and this recent attack must have pushed the child back into his old ways before.

"Ok, but if you need someone to talk to, I'm here for you." The old man said in a kind voice as he placed a comforting hand on the child's shoulder. Naruto gave the old man a hesitant smile before he looked back down at his lap. Gohan frowned lightly at the way Naruto was acting.

"Well," the old man said, "since we didn't get to celebrate your birthday yet, how about you open your birthday gift."

At the mention of a gift Naruto's eyes widened and a large grin formed on his face, the troubled thoughts that had been plaguing him forgotten for at lest the moment, "Really Oji-chan? I can have my present now?" The child beamed, but then he titled his head to the side in confusion, "But you don't have anything with you?"

Gohan smiled at the boy, "I want you to close your eyes for a second." The red haired child did as he was told and soon began to get giddy with excitement. The old man fished out something from his pocket and put it into Naruto's hand, "Ok, you can open your eyes know."

The red haired boy slowly opened his eyes and looked down at his open palm. He quirked an eyebrow at what he saw. Sitting in his palm was a small dark red cylinder. The boy casted a questioning look at the old man, 'Ok, I think he might be finialy starting to lose it.' Naruto thought to himself.

Gohan had a wide grin on his face as he watched his surrogate grandson, "This is a very special item given to me by my sensei." Naruto was perplexed by what the elderly man had said, "Ok, nyoi-bo extend." Suddenly, the small object started to glow a bright red and the small cylinder object quickly grew to the size of a quarterstaff.

Naruto cried in shock tossed the red staff arcoss the room, "What the hell?!"

Gohan laughed as he stood up and walked over to were the staff lay, "It's called nyoi-bo, a magical staff given to me by my sensei, Muten Roshi. The staff is indestructible and can extend to unreal lengths." He placed the staff in Naruto's lap, "It's my second greatest treasure."

The red haired boy blinked in shock at what the old man said before he smiled lightly as tears formed in his eyes, "Thanks, Oji-chan."

And it's done.

Ok guys, I know I've been gone for a while, but that kinda happens when you get a near full time job. I'll try and keep the story uptodate at a much more reasonable time frame.
