Moon Lit
Chapter one: Daku Sen
"What is it that you want?" The Third asked.
"Naruto. Let me teach him for 16 years away from the village." A voice answered.
"You know that is not possible. He was only born a week ago." Hokage said.
"You know as well as I that won't be a problem. I promise to return him after the 16 years are up."
"No."
"Do you really want him to be brought up hated by him own village?"
He sighed. "You can be very stubborn, just like your brother."
"I know. That's probable why he made such a fine hokage." The figure said smiling.
"He is currently at my house. To make this work we'll have to most likely fake his death saying that his body couldn't take housing a demon."
She bowed, "Thank you Hokage-sama!" she walked to the door and had almost left but he stopped her.
"I expect him to be back in the village for his 16th birthday, Miko."
She nodded, "Ok," smiled and left to collect her nephew.

It was midnight when there was a knock at his office doors.
"Come in." he said.
A tall red head walked in shortly followed by a blond teen all in black.
"I see you kept your promise Miko." He said smiling slightly.
"Yes. This is Naruto, if you are wondering. He knows about himself being the vessel of the demon and accepts it. Although he wants to legally change his name." She said.
"Aunt," he said glaring at the old man sitting in the chair.
It was then that the Hokage realized that Naruto no longer had the whisker marks on his cheeks.
"They have fully fused, if you are wondering why he has no whisker marks."
"Oh," he said. He turned to Naruto, "Naruto."
Naruto flinched slightly, "I want to be called Daku Sen."
He raised and eye brow, "Why?" he asked.
"For any who might recognize us I'd rather not have them glare and point. This way they won't know who I really am. And anyway I hear that a team needs a member because their other one died on a mislabeled mission and they wish to pass the up coming chunin exam so they will need another member. Also you wish to see how strong I've really gotten under Aunt's teaching." Naruto said, his face held no emotion.
"Well, yes. Team 7 needs a replacement after their original member, Newa, died." Hokage said thinking, 'Can this kid read fricken minds?'
"Well I must leave you here now, Daku. Don't get in trouble!" She added the 'don't get in trouble' realizing that if she didn't that would be the first thing he would do.
"Fine, fine, whatever, just leave already." Daku said waving his hand slightly shooing her away.
"Ok!" She said playfully. She knew he loved her and would miss her.
As she walked past him she gave a quick pull on his waist length braided hair, she also gave him a 'good-bye/good-luck' kiss on the fore head before leaving.
"So," Daku asked, "Is this team 7's second or third try at becoming chunins?"
"Second," the Hokage said looking back at the teen left in his office.
"So, when do I meet them?" the teen asked.
"Tomorrow at the bridge at 6:00 am, their teacher is usually late but I told him not to be tomorrow, also you team member's names are Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura, and your teacher's name is Kakashi." He said.
"Ok!" Daku said as he left.

The next day at the bridge Sasuke was staring at the water aimlessly wondering why they had to be meeting today.
'Unless we get a new member, which would totally screw this team up even more having to get used to their stupid antics, this is SO annoying!' He thought.
"Sasuke-kun, do you have any idea why we are meeting here?" Sakura asked walking up to him.
They heard a 'thump' before Sasuke could answer her question.
"God! That was so annoying, having to find this bridge!" someone said.
They turned to see a boy about 16 or 17 in all black, black strap up boots, black paints, black shirt, black trench coat and a black fingerless gloves. He had long blond hair in a low braid; he also had on black eye liner, like Gaara's.
The first words that popped into Sasuke and Sakura's heads were 'Goth?'
"Um… excuse me but, are you meeting someone here?" Sakura asked.
The boy nodded.
"Who?" She asked.
He glared at the ground he was sitting on and said though gritted teeth, "My new teacher."
"Oh," she said, "If you don't mind me asking; who was your old teacher?"
"I don't mind," he said, "My old teacher was my aunt."
"Oh, what made you switch teachers then?"
"Will you stop condescending to me?" He asked getting up.
"Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" She exclaimed apologizing about a thousand times, blushing.
"Will you shut up?" Sasuke asked.
"S-sorry Sasuke-kun!"
"Why did you switch teachers again?" Sakura asked turning back to our temporarily forgotten blond Goth.
"I was given back." He said as if it happened every day.
"What do you mean 'given back'?" The girl asked.
"Nothing," he mumbled turning away.
Shortly after there was a 'poof' signaling that Kakashi had sown up.
"Sasuke, Sakura, I now that you're wondering why you're here today and—what is that look for?" he asked stopping in mid sentence.
"Y-you're on time, f-for once." Sakura stuttered pointing a shaky finger at Kakashi.
"Yeah, Hokage's." he said looking around for something.
"What are you looking for?" Sasuke asked.
"Our new team member." He said still looking around.
"WHAT!" Sakura yelled.
Sasuke couldn't believe it either. 'We are getting a new team member?' the Uchiha thought.
"Yes, we're getting a new team member. Their name is"—he paused for a second getting out a folder—"Daku Sen." He continued ignoring his team's confused looks, "It says that he last trained under a Uzumaki Miko." His eyes widened.
'What the HELL!' he thought 'Uzumaki Miko is the Fourth's sister! What is a kid doing training under her?'
"Kakashi-sensei, who is 'Uzumaki Miko'?" Sakura asked more confused than ever.
He looked at his female student. Then said, "She is possibly one of the strongest nins ever and is the Fourth's only living relative after his son died 16 years ago."
"Wasn't his son the thing that they sealed the Kyuubi in?" Sakura asked.
"Yes," Kakashi answered, "But remember, he died because his body couldn't tack the immense power of the nine tails."
A loud laughter broke thought the momentary silence.
They turned to see the Goth hunched over and almost crying.
"You think that is funny?" Kakashi's voice sounded irritated. "Have you no respect for the dead?"
The boy only continued to laugh.
'If…if only they knew the truth!' he thought at he continued to laugh. 'Gaara would find this so funny!'
"If you don't stop laughing I will make you." Kakashi's voice now sounded dangerous.
"HAHA!" he stopped laughing to look over his shoulder at them. Then started laughing harder, "He died? Ha!" He found it funny how he was 'dead' yet standing right in front of them.
"Are you say that it is funny the poor kid died?" Kakashi asked, his voice sounded like the grim reaper.
"K-kinda." Daku managed to say though giggles.
"So it is funny that my sensei's only child died a horrible death?"
He stopped laughing long enough to give him a slightly disbelieving look, "So you the one they were talking about? The prodigy that had become a chunin by the age of 7 or something?"
Kakashi couldn't take it any more in less than 5 minuets this Goth bad mouthed his sensei and showed that he had no respect for the dead. He drew his hand back into a fist and lunged for the kid.
Daku, noticing that Kakashi was attacking abruptly stopped his laughing fit and went into a fighting stance.
Within seconds Daku had grabbed Kakashi's write and tossed him to he ground with relative ease, and was now sitting on his new sensei's back, his (Kakashi's) arm wrenched up on his back, causing a lot of pain to the copy ninja.
"Tsk-tsk-tsk, Kakashi-san, you of all people should know blind rage never wins the battle." Daku said playfully waging a finger above the nin's head.
"OH MY GOD!" Sakura yelled, the way that Kakashi was pinned down looked like the way Sasuke was when he charged Kakashi-sensei when they where younger. (N/A you know how Sasuke was pinned down in the first book or 4th or 5th episode)
Sasuke's eyes widened. Never had Kakashi been taken down that easily.
All four heard an aggravated scream, but only one recognized it.
'SHIT!' Daku thought as this eyes widened in fear and horror.
'Seems like some thing does get to this boy!' Kakashi thought as he felt the blond tense up.
Sasuke was thinking the same thing and would have attacked if Sakura hadn't stopped him muttering something along the lines of, "Don't he's to strong."
Within seconds Daku was sent flying into the nearest tree.
Standing next to Kakashi was a woman in ninja attire, red hair, and she was glaring daggers at the boy.
"Sorry, he's an idiot." She said offering Kakashi he hand.
Ha took it and got up.
"You know him?" he asked pointing at Daku.
"Sadly"—sigh—"Yes. I know the stupid idiot."
"I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WHERE GOING!" he yelled, a bit of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
"WELL HOW AM I 'SUPOS TO GO IF I HAVE TO CONSTENTLY WATCH OVER YOU! EH!" She yelled back.
Kakashi then recognized her voice, "Uzumaki Miko?" He asked eyes a little wide in shock.
She sighed again, "Yes."
"Then," He pointed to the glaring Goth, "That is Daku Sen?"
