Author's Note: Okay, I'm trying my first multi-chapter story here. Let's hope that I don't mess up. There shouldn't be that many spoilers, since I mostly jump around the story.
This story is about how other people close to Naruto feel about him using the Kyuubi's (think that's the demon's name) charka and becoming more like the demon. I'm starting with Iruka because he's Naruto's father figure, my favorite character, and he's just not in enough stories. (Note: No pairings in this story)
Disclaimer: I shudder to think at what I would do if I owned Naruto. But if I did there would be more Iruka.
Iruka's POV: (thinking about Naruto, which is why I use 'you' a lot)
Naruto, you are using the charka of the demon sealed inside you saying that now he wants to help you because of you die he goes too. You also are telling me how I shouldn't worry because you're in control and can handle it.
I'm sorry, but I just can't believe it. I thought you would do so much better. I loved you like a son, but to see you become more and more like my parent's murder is too much to take.
I guess that it would be wrong of me to ask you to give up an advantage just because I don't like it. As Kakashi enjoys reminding me, I'm not your teacher anymore. I guess I'm more that guy who buys you ramen.
I just don't trust it. I just can't seem to believe that Kyuubi is just going to give up and help you now. It just seems so naïve to think that Kyuubi had this big change of heart, when I saw him rip my parents to shreds.
You also aren't helping your image with the villagers. They weren't too keen on having just Naruto be Hokage, let alone the Kyuubi that almost destroyed our village.
It may just be that I'm being overprotective of you again, but I just don't want to see you break down and become something I know that you aren't because you were tricked.
How much more of Kyuubi will you absorb before the smiling, fun loving, lonely prankster I know and cared about existent is wiped out.
I never thought that I could be afraid of the huddled scared and beaten up little boy I found in an alley and gave instant ramen to. You were so sad and alone. I saw so much of myself in you, and I guess that because of that I wanted more than anything to see you succeed on your own.
For someone whose favorite saying is 'faith' I'm not being very believing, am I. For the first time in my life I really don't know how I feel, or what to believe, and I guess that it scares me a little. When you were still my student, I could protect you. I could chase off the school bullies and villagers and then treat you to some ramen.
Maybe I'm just having a hard time letting go. I just really don't want to lose another person that I care about, no, another family member to that monster. I hope that I'm making the right choice in letting you decide and letting you come to me.
Please Naruto, just be safe, and be careful.
A/N: Well I like to believe that it went well, even though it seemed kinda short to me. Why do I always write stuff in such a short way! I am also sorry if it seemed that the story jumped around a bit, but in I believe that a lot of things would be going though his head that weren't in any real order.
When Naruto started to learn how to control the demon's charka, I could help but think how the other characters would react to it. I also have a hard time believing that Kyuubi is going to give up his freedom and power to Naruto without having some kind of evil plan in the works.
So, please tell me what you think about it. Maybe vote on what character you would want to see next, or tell me if I should just stick to one shots, or whatever.
