Naruto:
The Sandman comes
The village of Konoah, from afar it looks like a dull normal village. Within these gates however is a whole new story. The Leaf Village Ninja Academy, for instance. At this very school Uzumaki Naruto was trained. He will soon become the focus of this story. But first you must know his past…
-----13 years ago—Konoah Leaf Village, Land Of Fire------
The beast's cries echoed through the night as it charged at the village. Several Jonin where making futile attempts to stop it. One Medical Nin Wrapped up a broken leg, before being thrown against a tree, killed instantly. The man whose leg he patched up leapt up and ran for cover, or tried to, before he was crushed by the monster's paw.
Hatake Kakashi watched from afar. The 13- year-old boy didn't know what was happening until he heard the crash.
"The Fox!" he cried. He had heard tales of the ancient Nine Tailed Fox Demon. But never thought he'd see it. Kakashi was already a Jonin but he had been asleep the whole attack. The fox let out a cry and demolished another wave of ninja. A cloth covered Kakashi's right eye. Behind the cloth was his Sharingan eye, which he gained at the loss of his comrade.
Umino Iruka ran for the fox. It's tale slamming right next to him. Iruka kicked off the small hill he was on and flew at the fox's tail. He dug his kunai as hard as he could into the fur. He could feel the warm blood on his hands. The fox snarled and it's tail lashed away, another flying at him. Iruka did a backhand spring and pulled out his giant shuriken, he had been saving this for the right moment. He threw it as hard as he could at the beast. It's eyes locked on him and the shuriken cut through it's chest. The monster screamed and charged forward. There was then a loud: THOOM!!! A giant toad appeared before the fox. On top of the toad was the 4th Hokage. Iruka stared at him, as did the other ninja.
The man performed a series of hand signs, and then yelled something. There was a bright light and the demon was gone. As was the toad and the Hokage…
------PRESENT DAY---Konoah Leaf Village---Ichiraku Ramen joint----
Uzumaki Naruto held out his hands and greeted the new bowl of steaming hot ramen with delight. Today had been a slow day for the squad. He broke his chopsticks and devoured the steaming hot ramen.
"Hey idiot" Came the familiar voice of Kiba. He sat down, Shikamaru, and Akamaru looked at Naruto. Naruto gave the dog a stern look.
"Hey you're the idiot" Naruto laughed as he nodded towards Shikamaru. "You won't ask out Temari!" He hissed. Shikamaru blushed and looked away. Ever since Shikamaru had fought the sand village woman he had always acted differently. Well, as different as Shikamaru could be. The fight between Gaara and Sasuke began 3 days from today. The Hokage had to be rushed to his office for some reason. Kiba was about to speak when his eye suddenly caught something. It looked as if he saw death itself.
"It's him" Whispered Kiba. Shikamaru leaned over some more to see. Naruto's blue eyes darted to the side.
"Gaara"
