Three's Company

A/N: I adopted this story from Astronomical Apparatus11. The first three chapters will be the same but after that the story will be fashioned to suit my style of story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto; if I did Danzo would have died long ago

Hidden village of the sand

Sabaku no Gaara was just 8 years old when he committed his first kill. He had just murdered his uncle Yashamaru after an assassin who turned out to be his own uncle attempted to kill him. He was in utter shock when his uncle who he thought cared for him, told him in fact how he hated the fact Gaara's mother, his sister, had to die for the likes of him. Needless to say, Gaara took it pretty hard when he learned his father, the Kazekage had sent Yashamaru to kill Gaara because of all the danger he held. Why was little Gaara so dangerous? Well, it just so seems he held the one-tailed Shukaku of the nine- tailed beasts ever since he was born. The Shukaku was sealed into him at a young age. His mother was a sacrifice. Before see died she wished that he would destroy the village and avenge her death.

"Why does everyone hate me?" Gaara cried. "Why am I a monster?"

all of a sudden he heard a voice filled with revenge and bloodlust:

"KUKUKU. KILL THEM ALL GAARA"

"Who is that speaking to me?" Gaara asked.

"I am the one-tailed demon Shukaku. You must kill these people. Feed my bloodlust Gaara."

"No"

"Kill"

"No"

"KILL THEM"

"NOOOOOOO". Gaara screamed as he ran away from everything and hid behind a jar in an alleyway.

"I am tired of living like this. No one cares about me here. I am tired of them calling me a monster. I must run away." Said Gaara

"My sister Temari. My brother Kankuro. Even they are afraid of me. And my own father wants to kill me… I will run… I will run away to somewhere far away from here."

So Gaara went to the place he lived. He was put in his own house on the outskirts of the village. He packed some clothes, money and a picture of his brother, sister and himself when he was a baby. He then picked up his gourd and one bag and fled from the village. He ran for hours and hours and hours.

"I will find a new home… I am never going back to that village."

Hidden village of the leaf

Uzumaki Naruto was 8 years old when he was chased by the villagers of the hidden leaf village. All he wanted to do was attend the festival celebrated because today was not only his birthday, but the day his hero and in his eyes the greatest Hokage; the Yondaime sacrificed his life in order to save the village from the Kyubbi- the greatest and strongest of the nine-tailed demons. Little did Naruto know, he was the one who held the Kyubbi that destroyed many of the villager's friends and families. As he ran he ended up in the forest. The pursuit for him soon ended as the villagers thought that he would die in the forest and that he would never return. Little did they know, Naruto knew the forest like the back of his hand. He journeyed the forests on the outskirts of Konoha when he wanted to find refuge from the constant glares, threats and stares of the villagers.

As he was catching his breath he noticed a patch of red sticking out from the green grass.

"What is that?" Naruto asked himself.

As he approached, he figured out that it was indeed a person. He had red hair, an olive green top over a pale green shirt, and blue jeans with olive green leg warmers and a huge gourd on his back and a big bag in his arms. He was unconscious. Naruto gently shook him awake.

The unconscious kid slowly opened his eyes to see a yellow-haired kid with a worried look on his face.

"Hey are you ok?" Naruto asked the kid

The kid was a little worried that Naruto might hurt him but eventually spoke.

"Yes….yes I am ok…..who are you?"

"I am Uzumaki Naruto. What is your name?"

"Sabaku no Gaara. Where am I?"

"You are in the hidden leaf village."

"oh." Gaara replied. 'Finally. I am finally free.' Gaara thought.

"Are you lost Gaara?" Naruto asked 'I've never seen this kid before... He must be from somewhere else.'

Gaara was a little skeptical with letting this kid know exactly where he came from and decided to keep some things to himself.

"Yes. I am trying to find a new village to stay. I needed to get away from my old village."

"Why?" Naruto asked

"I-I don't remember exactly." Gaara lied.

"Well ok… hey I know how about we go to the Hokage and see if you can live with me? I got my own apartment and he's really a nice guy for an old man." Naruto suggested.

"o-ok." Gaara said

So Naruto and Gaara went on their way to the Hokage to see if the 'old man' (as Naruto called him.)would accept gaara into the hidden leaf village.

On their way to the Hokage tower, a bunch of villagers seen the two and immediately began alerting the others. "There's that demon kid. Get him!"

The villagers started running after Naruto and Gaara.

"Run!" Naruto Shouted.

As he ran, he soon noticed that Gaara had not run away but faced the villagers.

Gaara lifted his hand up. The cork that held the contents popped off and a great amount of sand exited his gourd. As soon as it emptied, the sand formed into the shape of a hammer and knocked all the running villagers out.

Needless to say, Naruto was amazed that all the villagers were knocked out in such a swift and easy blow.

"Wow" Naruto gawked.

Then, 4 ANBU (randomfact#1. ANBU STANDS FOR: ANsatsu Senjutsu TokushuBUtai) and an old man dressed in red and white robes landed in front of Naruto and Gaara. As Gaara was about to attack them to, Naruto stopped him.

"Wait Gaara don't attack!"

"Why?" asked Gaara.

"Because that is the old man I've been telling you about."

"The...Hokage?" Gaara asked as his sand went back into his gourd.

"Yeah." Naruto said.

As the ANBU squad checked up on the villagers, the said person, Sarutobi, the Sandaime looked at both Gaara.

"So this must be the Kazekage's son. It seems he thinks his son has died. Its amazing to know he is still alive." Sandaime mused.

"Naruto, Gaara. Why don't you come with me into my office? Let's have a chat shall we?" asked the Sandaime.

"How….how do you know my name?"

"Why you are the Kazekage of the sand's son. How could I not know your name?"

Gaara and Naruto jaws both dropped but for different reasons of course. Naruto, at the fact that his father was a Kazekage. Gaara, because he has been found.

"Oh no. he's going to take me back to that horrible village I...I don't want to go back there."

As if Sarutobi was reading his mind, he said, "You do not have anything to worry about Gaara, it seems as if your father thinks you are dead and has given up the search for you. You are safe here in Konoha."

Gaara, now relieved that he was safe, agreed to go with the Hokage along with Naruto so that they can talk.

As the three reached the office, they saw a raven-haired kid about Naruto and Gaara's age. He had a black long sleeve shirt with white pants. His face was one that looked like he had been scared out of his wits. Next to him was a cat masked ANBU guard

"Hokage-sama. There has been a problem at the Uchiha household." The ANBU stated hurriedly.

"What?" the Sandaime said

"It was a massacre. Every Uchiha except for this little one has been killed."

Gaara, Naruto, and Sarutobi himself was shocked "when did this happen?" the Sandaime asked the boy.

"wh-when I-I was…was coming ho-home from sc-school." the boy said.

Naruto who seen the boy suddenly spoke up. "Hey I know you! Your Sasuke right?"

"h-hai"

"Go and investigate the grounds further." Sarutobi told the guard.

"Hai Hokage-sama"

"Tell me what happen if you can Sasuke." Sarutobi asked.

"H-hai"

After Sasuke told them the story of how his brother Itachi who was one of the greatest up and coming prodigies killed everyone and told him it was to measure his container and to get strong and seek him, he then fell asleep. The Sandaime then decided to have the three of them live under one roof to support each other.

"Naruto, Gaara. I have decided to let you and Sasuke live under one roof together. This way, you all can support and get to know each other better. What do you say?"

Naruto and Gaara both agreed and told Sasuke the good news.

'I truly hope you three will bond. Tomorrow is truly going to be a crazy day'
