A great evil has arisen from ancient times to destroy the world. What does Kyuubi have to do with it? What?! Kyuubi is one of Its' two sons. The other is the demon in Gaara?

Oh shit, we're screwed.

How will Naruto and Gaara stand up to this thing?

What has happened to Naruto since the end of the Chuunin Exams? Naruto's peers have discovered that the Nine Tailed Fox Demon – Kyuubi – resided inside of his belly, and after a week of everyone avoiding him, Naruto left Konoha Village. He had left all that he owned to Iruka. The last image of him in everyone's minds was of Konahamaru sobbing loudly and Naruto running off into the sunset. (Just like in a faerie tale. -) Konoha never truly was the same. Gaara and his siblings moved into his (Naruto's) old house and have lived there for the past ten years.

And on with the story...

Chapter One

Naruto's ears twitched and he looked up. He could sense a storm approaching and quickly at that. Ever since he and Kyuubi fused nine and a half years ago, his senses had improved drastically. He could hear a pin being dropped onto carpet at five hundred miles away and see a fox cub being brought into the cruel world at five hundred miles away as well. Even more drastic was his hearing. He could hear a caterpillar crawling at its slowest at three thousand miles – all the way to North America. When he first discovered his hearing, he thought someone was shooting at him with a 'silencer'. After Kyuubi told him what it was, he promptly fainted and was out for two days. This was not a normal storm. It was approaching too fast to even be a F6 tornado (which he could create quite easily).
/ Kyuubi, ya sense that? I sense that something really bad is comin'. Do ya know what it is? / His tail was wagging at the thought of a worthy adversary. He had faced against Uchiha Itachi a few times before and Naruto could beat him while eating Ramen.
Yes, I do. I also think it is dangerous, Naruto-san. I have absolutely no clue what it could be. Why? Do you plan on playing with it? It just might be a challenge. Kyuubi smirked. Even though Naruto was twenty-two, he still loved fighting as much – maybe even more – than eating Ramen.
"Alright Kyuubi. We're goin' back to Konoha. That is where the storm is heading." Naruto jumped down from his perch in the tree house he had created. His black silk cloak floated around his body for a moment after he landed. He leaned down and pulled on his black silk outfit he 'borrowed' off of a traveler that had mouthed off to him. Naruto still had the stomach and bladder in jars in the home and the bones were made into armor and furniture. His pants were also black silk and had no pockets. His shirt was a black tank top with sleeves that appeared to be ripped off. (Just think of Hiei's outfit.) His boots had silver shuriken lodged into the heels of the boots to add friction for when he launched into the air. His cloak was weighed down with the weight and amount of 'toys' he stored in it. He tucked several shuriken and knives into his boots, just in case he got bored on the trip back to his birthplace. Kyuubi had taught Naruto everything he knew, but stayed around because he "refuses to die a sissy death".
1 HOUR LATER

Naruto stood at the front gates of Konoha Village. 'It has been so long since I last saw these doors. I wonder if anything is the same.' Naruto then pushed open the gates that had always kept him in – then left him out – of the world he had lived in almost his whole life. Naruto looked around to see any changes and noted / Nothing has changed since I last saw this place. I wonder if that stupid old fogey is still Hokage...Hopefully not. He creeped me out. I hope he dropped dead and if that didn't kill him, slipped on a bar of soap and fell from atop that big ol' monument of the Hokages. /What in the world have you been smoking? No more shiny objects for you. Just joshin' ya. / Naruto heard footsteps approaching him from behind. ( He had the hood pulled up over his head, shadowing his face) Naruto slowly turned around, just to be faced with someone he really didn't want to see right now. Naruto sighed heavily.
"Hello again, Sakura. How have you been over the years?"
