Once, when Orochimaru ordered the Sound Five to retrieve his next vessel, he warned them of the Kyuubi's container. He instructs them to capture Uzumaki alongside Uchiha if possible, but that the Sharingan is the main priority of the mission and that they may kill the Kyuubi's container if he interferes. He tells them this with a quiver of anticipation that is not entirely due to the prospect of the Sharingan.
When Tayuya sees this demon boy, she is even less impressed than she was with that fucking Uchiha fag and has no damn idea why Orochimaru is horny for this brat too. He's a too fucking short, too fucking loud, and too fucking fucking bright brat and there is no fucking way he could possibly be a ninja. No wonder Konoha is so damn weak. She doesn't believe for a second his claims of retrieving his 'teammate', and she doesn't give two shits about some gay ass promise he made. She knows that, demon or no, this brat won't be able to beat Uchiha and Orochimaru will get his new body.
Naruto just thought she was a bitch and didn't care what she had to say.
-----------------------------------------------
Once, Temari saw two demons clash. One, she had known for years. The other, she knew nothing about. She saw what her brother could have been, and she was sad. She knew what the other could have been, and she was terrified.
The thought that this Uzumaki Naruto could have, and to the best of her knowledge could still, become like Garaa frightens her to her core. It keeps her up at night. Despite all her visits to Konoha, she has never been able to look Naruto square in the eye.
The memory of that day, and the fear it still inspires, stops her every time.
Naruto just thinks that she's shy.
-----------------------------------------------
Once, Tenten saw the strongest fighter she knew, the genius of his year, be defeated by the 'dead-last' of the academy. She saw Naruto beaten, broken on the ground. All his tenketsu sealed and his spirit broken. The fight was over. Then he got up.
Later, she asked Neji about what happened. He confided in her that somehow, Naruto had a second charka focal point. Later still, she asked her parents about Naruto, and how he could be so powerful. Is he part of a clan? Does he have a bloodline?
She is told that Uzumaki Naruto is not to be discussed. The subject is closed. And being the good, model Kunoichi that she is, she follows orders.
Naruto just thinks she's quiet.
-----------------------------------------------
Once, Ino was angry with Naruto. He had pranked her, or said something unflattering about her, she doesn't even really remember. But she wanted to pay him back. After putting some thought into it, Ino had the idea to use her Shintensen no Jutsu to take control of his body. She'd figure out what to do with him once she had control.
Unfortunately, when she entered Naruto's body, instead of finding herself in control, she found herself in a sewer. Unfortunately, she found herself looking up at a gigantic cage with enormous red eyes and colossal claws behind the bars. And unfortunately, she didn't know how far those claws could reach.
Naruto thinks that it's a shame Ino won't wake up from her coma.
-----------------------------------------------
Once, shortly after her Byakugan had first activated, Hinata looked at one of the boys in her class. She saw that Naruto had something inside of him, something other than what most people had. As she learned about Konoha's history, she eventually made the connection.
Hinata also saw how people treated Naruto. She saw how they yelled at him and whispered about him. She saw how they ignored him and how they hit him. She saw how they abused him, how they used him. She saw all of this. But she also saw how he always got back up. She also saw how he never lashed out. She saw his pain, and she saw through his mask.
Hinata saw the truth long ago. It's why she respects Naruto so much.
Naruto still just thinks she's nice, but kinda weird.
-----------------------------------------------
Once, Naruto told Sakura the truth. He had hoped that she would understand him, or at least not hate him like the villagers. He was wrong.
Sakura blamed Naruto for everything. She blamed him for Asuma's death. She blamed him for every failure and difficulty their team had ever had. And most of all, she blamed him for Sasuke's defection. She called him 'monster', and 'demon', and every horrible, terrible, painful name that every villager had ever called him in his life.
She told him that if he really wanted to prove that he wasn't a demon, that if he wanted to redeem himself, than he would go and bring Sasuke home. So Naruto left for the Village Hidden in the Sound. He tried as hard as he could and to his credit, he made it through the entire village, all the way to Sasuke. But he didn't make it back.
Sakura never forgave herself for the price it cost her to realize the truth about Sasuke.
Naruto thinks it would have been nice if she had realized it sooner.

Author's Notes: Just too clear up a few things. Each of these are a separate idea, just a bunch of little drabbles. Also worth mentioning is that I don't feel this way about all of these characters. I actually like Ino, and I think that the loud blond (Naruto) and the other loud blond (Ino) make for an interesting (and occasionally amusing) concept for a pairing. I just couldn't think of any other way to involve her in this story concept. I know that Tenten has little to no backstory in the canon, I used that leeway to work her into the story. Does anyone know anything about her parents? Because I don't.
I may continue this with other groups of characters. I got this idea because I was thinking of the girls Naruto is most often paired with, and I started thinking about how they would react to the knowledge that he is the Kyuubi's container. I may write additional chapters for the guys, maybe one for the adults. I dunno, but drop me a line and let me know what you think.
