Author's Note: Finally I am doing a Naruto story. And yes I will still be continuing Chances. It's just that this relationship got my attention. The reason why I chose Naruto and Fem Gaara was because of three reasons. One I was really inspired when I saw this fic which name I don't know. In the fic Naruto is with Hinata and he has a harem and he meets Gaara at a young age and they fall in love. Please minna tell me the name of the fic. I need to know because that was the best harem fanfiction I've read.

The second reason I found this pairing by accident when someone just gave me and I was deeply impressed at what people wrote for this pairing and if you're wondering her name will still be Gaara and not Gaia. The third and final reason is that I love the weird and impossible to be like my favorite pairing: Naruto x Tayuya, Naruto x Temari, Naruto x Anko and Naruto x Ino. So this is right up my alley of weird stories and I am proud to make weird stories about absurd pairings. This doesn't mean I love Naruto and Hinata. It's just I like to think of the many possibilities.

I hope people enjoy this story because Naruto fanfics are my passion to make it my best works. SO enjoy and I would like to thank CodeDxD for his incredible review and to one of my acquaintances, AP Edwards, for inspiring me to do stories in Naruto and doing weird pairings. Please check out his stories as well.

I don't own Naruto and if I did I would have made Itachi just a bad villain instead of the caring brother. Anyways hope you guys enjoy the story and see you later!

Beginnings

The Third Hokage had just entered the hospital and had looked distraught because he heard the news from his personal ANBU that the son he was supposed to protect was in the hospital for the umpteenth time and he was just eight.

He instantly arrived at the reception office and the nurse at the desk was surprised, "Hokage-sama!" The old hokage asked the nurse, "Where is he?"

The head nurse knew what he was talking about, "He just got out of the operating room and he needs his rest-" The hokage then suddenly shouted, "Just tell me where he is!" He instantly coughed and said, "I apologize for my rude behavior. But please I want to see him."

The nurse gave out and said, "He's in Room 233" He then said, "Thank you" The hokage then Shunshined out to the room in where his surrogate but not really surrogate grandson where was.

When he arrived inside Naruto's room the doctor and the nurse that was in the room were surprised and then bowed to him by together saying, "Hokage-sama!"

The old hokage was sad to see Naruto like this. The poor blonde was still asleep but was really malnourished, pale, weak and really sleepy. The hokage asked the doctor what had happened because all that his personal anbu were that Naruto was really hurt and that he was already in the hospital.

The doctor then responded, "When he came here with the dog masked anbu. He was in grave condition almost to the point of dying, his injuries were just too much for an eight year old child to have and not die from. Some of our nurses and doctors did not want to treat the boy and they were the best we had so we had to make due. If you're asking about his injuries, he had several broken ribs, two severe concussions, internal bleeding, malnutrition, his right femur was cracked and his hips were broken. All I have to say is hokage we were giving up because there were too many injuries but-"

The hokage then snapped up to his attention as when he was hearing the doctor's words all he thought was that, I'm sorry Minato and Kushina. I've made your boy suffer through all this. His thought process was stopped when he heard the doctor say but. The doctor then continued, "-there was this red chakra that coiled around the boy and healed most of his injuries which made our healing of the boy faster and that's all what happened."

Sarutobi sighed as he thought suddenly, Wait! Red chakra! The Kyuubi must have saved him and that means that Minato's seal is still working and that means we are still safe.

He then asked, "May I be alone with the boy." The doctor nodded as he exited slowly and quietly out the room leaving Naruto and him alone.

He then saw the blonde, who was still asleep and smiled a bit as he thought, I'm so sorry, Naruto. I just wanted you to have a normal life like your parents wanted.

Sometimes he regretted making the decision that announced Naruto as the Kyuubi's jinchuriki as he was just trying to have the boy be a hero instead of an object of the village's hatred. God knows how long he has executed the ones who have tried to squeal about Naruto to the younger generation.

He didn't know what to do anymore he then thought; Maybe I should have told to everyone that he was Minato's son. But, it would probably lead more villagers to say that they would finish the job and avenge the Yondaime. Humans are so foolish.

He didn't notice as a voice called to him, "Hey Jiji!" The old hokage fell out of his seat and looked at the origin on where he heard the voice. He then saw the blonde who was at a moment asleep, smiling at him and the old hokage almost said, "Min-" He then thought, By Kami! Take away the whiskers and he really looks like his father.

Naruto looked confused as he tilted his head side wards and asked, "Jiji, are you ok? You look out of it."

This snapped the old hokage back as he said, "I'm ok Naruto." He then stood up as he brushed the dirt from his robes, "-How are you, Naruto."

Naruto then stood on the top of his bed as he placed on his trademark grin and said loudly, "I'm fine! I'm feeling better now."

The hokage then frowned as he knew the boy's mask that hid his real feelings. So he said, "Naruto can you do me a favor." Naruto then answered, "What is it?"

Sarutobi then smiled and asked, "Could you please remove the mask that you are wearing and just answer me truthfully, please." Naruto was shocked as jiji found out his secret that he hid his emotions.

Naruto stuttered, "H-Ho-How di-did y- you know?" Sarutobi then answered, "Oh, please Naruto. I am called the professor. Now would you please answer the question to how are you really."

Naruto then dropped his head down which signaled his defeat, "Hai, hai." He then said after dropping his mask and talking in a sad tone, "Fine, you win jiji. If you want to know, I'm not ok. I remember being attacked and a lot of people calling me a monster and then nothing jiji."

The old hokage sighed again as he heard what Naruto had said and then Naruto continued, "Jiji can I ask you this." Sarutobi then responded to saying, "Yes, what is it Naruto."

Naruto then said, "Why am I a monster?" Sarutobi then quickly responded, "No, you are not! Don't ever say that you are a monster, Naruto." His voice then began to get more depressed, "It's just the villagers can't see you for who you are and what you are holding."

Naruto then said, "Wait! So what am I holding?" Sarutobi after hearing that he face palmed himself and thought, Baka! Shit! I revealed something I shouldn't have. Have to make my escape.

The old hokage was going to escape but was stopped when Naruto unleashed his most powerful attack a child shinobi would use. He used the Puppy Dog Eyes jutsu on the old man in the hopes to get him to answer.

Sarutobi had a hard time, I must resist! He then sighed in defeat as he could not beat the infamous jutsu and said, "Ok, Naruto you win."

The blonde boy celebrated over his victory against the jiji. He was then stopped by the doctor who healed him who shouted, "BE QUIET!" This made Naruto stop and go back to his hospital bed.

Sarutobi coughed loudly to make his presence known to Naruto who immediately looked to where he was. He then continued, "Naruto, you must promise me to keep this secret with your own life and know that I am giving you the responsibility to share this secret with someone you feel like can keep it and doesn't judge you. Do you understand?"

Naruto was confused on what he heard as he was trying to fit the bits and pieces he had just heard. "Secret, responsi-what, share, judge?" Sarutobi sighed again and said, "Just to make it short this is a high ranking s class secret and who ever says it to anyone is dead but you have the power to tell it to anyone. Just be sure that they won't call you monster."

Naruto then said, "Ok, jiji now tell me, please! Please! Please!" Sarutobi then said, "Ok, Naruto listen carefully."

Sarutobi started, "Naruto, 8 years ago the Kyuubi attacked this village causing destruction and death. The Yondaime Hokage faced the beast and died protecting the village and killing the beast- " Naruto interrupted, "I know that but what does that-" He stopped when the old hokage released a small amount of killing aura to make Naruto quiet again.

Sarutobi coughed again and continued, "Naruto, that's the one that everyone in the younger generation of shinobis know. I'm going to tell you the real version. What really happened was that the Yondaime Hokage couldn't kill the Kyuubi so he decided to seal the beast."

Naruto instantly thought, No! Sarutobi said, "But to seal the bijuu you have to have a newborn baby to contain the chakra because the chakra coils have not been used." Naruto then cogged up the gears in his head and came up with a conclusion, "No! Then that means-"

Sarutobi sighed and said, "Naruto, the Yondaime Hokage sealed the Kyubbi in you, making you the jinchuriki and that is the reason why you are being hated by the village because they think that you killed the beloved Yondaime Hokage."

Naruto swallowed all that in and said, "So am I a monster. Like what everyone says." Naruto then heard his jiji say, "No you are not. It's just because these villagers misunderstand how important you are. And it's my fault-"

Naruto asked, "What do you mean jiji." Sarutobi then explained, "I told the entire village about what you hold within you."

Naruto then became depressed as he learned that the constant abuse and beatings were just because of this and it was one of his precious people. Sarutobi then said, "I understand if you are angry at me, Naruto. But please understand that I was just trying to make the village understand that you are a hero. Instead you were cast out and abused for something that is not you. You are not the Kyuubi, you are his jailor. If you are angry at me, I don't mind. I guess this is penance for my ignorance towards you."

Naruto who was controlling his emotions as hard as he could and clenched his fist that signaled the anger that was in him right now, "I am angry, jiji. I'm angry at you, this village even Yondaime-sama."

Sarutobi's head bowed down as he was apologizing for the things he had done. Naruto continued, "But what good is it?" Sarutobi was now shocked at what the boy just said.

Naruto then explained, "Being angry over things like this won't get me anywhere. It won't let them apologize. All I have to do now is get over this hatred and now focus on something else." He looked at his window as he saw the sun was going to set, "I'll focus on becoming stronger for everyone and to prove that I'm not the Kyuubi."

Sarutobi was happy at Naruto's conviction. Naruto then faced his jiji and said with a true smile, "How can I be angry at one of my precious people like you jiji. You helped me and were one of the few that actually said happy birthday to me, gave me a gift and cared for me. Why would I get angry at you, I'm grateful to what you did for me."

Sarutobi was shedding tears as he then stood up and said, "If you'll excuse me Naruto. I have to go now to do my duties." Naruto then nodded and said, "Hai, jiji, I'll see you again."

Sarutobi exited the room quietly as he wiped the tears from his eyes as he thought, He'll make you proud, Minato-kun and Kushina-chan.

Naruto heard jiji's footsteps as he knew he felt Sarutobi leave the hallway. Naruto relaxed as he gave out a sigh as he said, "At least I know now what was the problem. Now-" He then began to think, "-how do I become stronger to protect everyone I care for."

Naruto suddenly felt something grab him as he was at his hospital room and the next moment he was in a sewer as he saw a red cage and a beast's shadow that called out to him, "Yo kit. You're here finally."

Naruto's eyes widened as he realized what he was talking to, "You're- you're the-" The beast then answered, "That is right boy, I am the Kyuubi no Yoko. I am the reason why you are hated for. I am the one who is jailed within you."

Naruto stood up as he also noticed that he was on water, "What do you want?" Kyuubi then answered, "Easy, I'm just here to talk to my warden for the first time in eight years."

Naruto then looked around and asked, "Where am I-" The Kyuubi interrupted him by saying, "The answer to that puny human is that we are in your mindset as this could be the only way for you and me to communicate unless I get to talk to you outside this mindscape."

Naruto then said, "Ok. How-" Kyuubi again interrupted him,"Do I know what you're going to say next." He smiled as Naruto gained an angry tick as a result and shouted, "Urusai! Baka no kitsune! Stop saying what I'm going to say next." The fox sweat dropped as he thought, Is he really this much of an idiot?

The fox then got closer to Naruto and he could see how big the fox really was and his aura. The fox then made a grin and said, "The reason why, baka no ningen. Is that you and I are linked. I'm able to hear your thoughts, see your memories and control your body through your uncontrollable rage."

Naruto was horrified, "Then that means you-" Kyuubi just smiled as he waved his tails, "Know everything you ever did. Due to your memories but I can't see what you see, hear what you hear, or smell what you smell because even if we are linked I can't really know what's going on because of this damn seal. So I just see what happened in the past."

Naruto bowed his head down as he asked, "So you remember-" The fox just said again, "As I told you baka, I remember the time you tried to kill yourself several times because you were so boo-hoo sad and I was the reason why you were still alive."

Naruto then said, "Sorry." As the fox kept on ranting, "Or how about that time when you- Wait did you just say sorry."

Naruto then explained, "I'm sorry for being like that. I didn't realize I was hurting someone else." The fox just laughed as he then said, "Kit. I haven't had a good laugh like that for a while. You really are an idiot!"

Naruto gained several more angry ticks as the bijuu just kept on laughing, "Yeah, yeah, I get it! But I have to ask why you saved me." The fox stopped laughing and then placed his hand outside the cage as he said, "It's because of this." The fox then hit the seal which was holding the cage in place

"If it weren't for this, I would already have escaped from this prison but there is another reason why I can't let you die." Naruto asked, "Why?" The fox then answered, "Remember how I already told you that we are linked."

Naruto then nodded, "Now from what you heard from that old man is that I was sealed by the Yondaime Hokage. But kit I'm too strong even for the Shiki Fujin so he came up with a clever idea that if I was placed here and tried to escape. I would die and I don't like that to happen. He also knew that when you got older, I would try to escape. So he linked us meaning if you die, I die. Understand now kit."

Naruto then nodded then blatantly said, "So make me stronger, fox." The fox was seething as he came closer to Naruto to the point that he was staring at Naruto, "You've got some guts kit to do this to me, the most powerful being in the universe. Maybe I'll just grab you from outside the cage and rip you to shreds."

Naruto then said, "You always call me an idiot, fox. But you're an idiot as well." Kyuubi was already mad and then proceeded to grab Naruto and his hand was gonna get the blonde.

But the blonde said something first, "I die then you die." The fox stopped and chuckled, "You're interesting kit, now please explain."

Naruto then explained, "I just realized from my goal just happens to be like yours. I want to be stronger to protect my precious people and you don't want to die. So I have to be stronger for you not to die because you're one of my precious people."

Kyuubi then said, "And why am I the reason why I am one of the people you care about." Naruto then said, "Even though you are the reason why most people hate me. What can I do? You're stuck with me until the day I die so I decided just to suck it up and become friends with you."

The Kyuubi just laughed and rolled all over. This continued for about a few minutes, "Ha! You are really interesting, Naruto. Very well I'll make you powerful just give me time and all I need is two favors."

Naruto quickly responded, "Ok! Name it, Kyuubi!"

The bijuu then said, "I want to be able to see what you see so could you tear off a bit of the seal." Naruto then shouted, "Wait! Wouldn't that kill me?!" The bijuu retorted to saying, "Urusai! God, you're louder than anything I've ever met. And yes that would kill you by removing the entire seal so I'm just asking you to remove a tiny bit of the seal."

Naruto then said, "Ok!" Naruto then proceeded to walk towards where the seal was and ripped off a little bit of the seal and suddenly red chakra went around him as he was wondering, "What's this?"

The fox then said, "Ah! That's the best. That boy is about 1/12th of my power that is around you." Naruto then said, "This is awesome!" The fox then said, "Well I am awesome and now on to the second favor."

Naruto said, "I'm listening." The fox then replied, "I want you to change the image of this mindset. I don't like this dank and dark sewer. Change it to something better like a forest or something."

Naruto was going to ask something, "The reason why this image of your mind is like this is because of your suppressed depressions that have caused this to be like this."

Naruto then asked, "So how am I gonna fix it." The fox then said, "Just think of something like green or a forest. Just think good kit and let it become the image of this mindscape."

Naruto thought hard and thought of everything nice and sweet that he's seen and then he opened his eyes and smiled. What Naruto made was a beautiful flat land of grass next to a lake with a waterfall next to it and there were animals.

He then saw the Kyuubi who was happy and pouncing on the small animals, "Nice, Kit. You'll get my answer tomorrow. Now rest."

Naruto was then in his hospital bed and he saw that it was night as he decided to sleep.

"Thanks Kyuubi" He then heard a voice call out to him before he fell asleep, "The name's Kurama, kit."
