Naruto looked at his new mother and she smiled down at him warmly. He went back into his head and thought about how he had aquired this kind person as his family.

FLASHBACK

"Naruto, Naruto come here please," the Sandaime called to a six year old Naruto.

"Yeah old man?" he asked innocently.

"Im sending you away for a while Ok?"

"What? WHY?! Why should I go away? Aren't I supposed to become a shinobi?" the young boy cried.

"Yes. You will be a shinobi one day, but for now I have to send you away." Sarutobi said with a sad smile. "Let's have you meet your new guardian. Ok?"

Naruto looked sadly at the old man, but nodded.

The Sandaime nodded and opened the door, and let in a woman of about 22.

"Hola, nino. That means 'Hello little boy.' My name is Maria Gandale. I will be your guardian for the next few years. Ok?" said the woman.

To Naruto, she looked kind enough, with long, dark hair and lightly tanned skin, she smiled at him with warm brown eyes. Naruto looked at her and smiled shyly.

FLASHBACK END

Naruto looked at his new mother. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.

TIME SKIP: 6 YEARS!!!

"Oi! Juan! Wait up!" yelled a twelve year old boy. He had blonde hair and blue eyes and was dressed in red and black. His name was origionaly Naruto, but the people of the spanish village they lived in had taken to calling him Gabrielle.

"No way tonto! I ain't gonna wait for you! Your brothers gang is on our tail!" yelled the blonde's best friend Juan.

"We are only running cause we didn't show up at the meeting! They are gonna drag us to Leo!" Gabrielle (An: gonna call him Gabrielle while in Spain, and Naruto when in Japan. Gabrielle sounds out to be Gay-Bree-L) shouted back at him.

The boys were running from Gabrielle's older brother Leo's gang. They were big in the streets and the two were a part of the gang and had been since they were 7. Yesterday had been a huge day for the younger members as it was the day they were assigned an older mentor from the higher-ups of the gang in order to learn the tricks of the gang.

"Oi! Idiotos! Stop and just come get your punishment already! I think Leo would go a little easier on you if you come quietly!" Yelled Michelle. (An: sound out Me-Kel) Michelle was Leo's best friend and had been since they were both children dreaming of this gang. "Gabrielle! You know Leo wouldn't find this very honorable to run from your responsibilites like this!" he also knew how to push all of Gabrielle's buttons.

Gabrielle stopped dead in his tracks. He admired his older brother so much. He always wanted to be like him, to be a leader and have faithful followers.

Michelle put his hand on Gabrielle's shoulder and then put him into an arm lock.

"Ah! OUCH! OUCH! OUCH! Michelle! Im coming of my own free will! There's no need to do that!" cried Gabrielle.

"Sorry shorty. Leo ordered whoever caught you two to incapacitate you and bring you to him. He is NOT happy." said Michelle while smiling.

"Ah! You lied to me! You said he'd be easier on the punishment! Ah! Damnit! Juan don't leave me alone! Take it like a man!" Gabrielle gried to his friend.

"No way Idioto! You got caught! Your problemo ton-" he was cut off as he slammed into someone.

"Nice try nino. No running away for you." said Paco, one of the largest and strongest members of the group as he pinned Juan, twisted his hands behind his back and tied them together painfully.

They were then duct taped over the mouth and dragged before Gabrielle's older brother Leo.

"Well well well... look who decided to show up. What happened little bro? I was looking forward to assigning your mentor. But that can't happen if you aren't here." Leo growled, displeased with his younger sibling.

Gabrielle looked down submissively. He hadn't ment to upset his brother. He never wanted to. Tears pricked at the corners of his eyes in shame.

"Im sorry Leo. We didn't mean to. We just slept in and forgot to set our alarms. We really didn't mean it. I don't know about Juan, but I am sorry I made you angry." Gabrielle said with his head still down.

Leo looked towards Juan who also had his head down.

He nodded to his best friends and closest advisors to let the two boys down and they immediately fell to the ground sitting on their knees.

"Alright. I've decided your punishments. You will be rookies for a whole extra year. Maybe then you will learn to be on time." he said softly, but with command and power behind his words.

It was the worst punishment imaginable. To be rookies for a whole extra year was somthing that was humiliating beyond belife. Gabrielle chocked back a shocked sob and kept his head down because he knew that this was necissary. Leo had always been hardest on Gabrielle and Juan because they were one day to be the leader and advisor of the gang. They were supposed to succeed Leo and Michelle, and so they needed to be fully trained and the best in the gang. To do that, they needed to be on time for anything.

"We understand." the two boys said in unison.

"Dissmised..." Leo said, and the boys got up, bowed low, and left, all of the other guys looking pitiyingly at their retreating backs.

'It's for the best...' Leo thought sadly before turning his thoughts to another matter.

***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

That night, Gabrielle sat in his bed. He thought over the events of the day and sighed to himself.

'I really messed up. Badly.' he thought to himself.

He turned towards the window and saw Juan on his bed, staring at the moon.

"Mi amigo, do you think we are cut out for this? I mean, how could we try and be in the Kings de Barcelona, if we aren't on time for somthing that helps us to continue on this path?" Juan questioned his best friend.

"Si. We just need to practice and work at it. Leo belives in us. He would have kicked us out if he didn't. When I joined this gang, he took me aside and said, 'Gabrielle Gandale, I will not go easy on you because you are my brother, in fact, I will work you harder than anyone. I will work you to the bone because you are my brother. Don't ever forget that.' I still keep those words close to me. I will work hard for my brother." Gabrielle said.

"Si. You're right. I won't give up ever." Juan said at his friends imitation of his older brother.

The boys shared a quick smile. But then, as they were about to close their eyes for a long nights sleep, a loud crash was heard, the boys jumeped out of bed, but they were easily over powered, a knife was stuck into Juan's leg and he screamed.

"Shit. Quick, make the target sleep and we'll leave." said one of the people who had broken in.

The other one nodded and made a few signs with his hands before touching the blonde's forehead. Said blonde fell limp into the arms of his captor, and was gatered up like a rag doll before they jumped back out the window.

Juan could only watch as his best friend was taken away.

"No...no... NO! AYUDAME! AYUDAME! AYUDAME! GABRIELLE! LEO AYUDAME!" cried Juan in helplessness as the door was thrown open to reveal Michelle and Paco burst in.

Michelle was the first to see the blood.

"FUCK! Paco, go get Leo, somthing went down!" ordered Michelle.

Paco ran to do just that as people came into the room. One of the gang members ran back out to get the medics of the gang.

As the room filled up, they heard a commanding voice at the back of the crowd.

"MOVE! Get out of the way!" shouted Leo. He spotted Juan and crouched next to him. "Juan, what happened? Who hurt you? Where is Gabrielle?!"

"Leo, Leo Im so sorry! Gabrielle! He and I were sitting and talking when two people jumped in through the window! We tried to fight them but they overtook us and then they stuck the knife into my leg! I screamed and the one who stabbed me told his partner to 'sleep the target' and he made some weird signs and touched Gabrielle's forehead and then he just collapsed! He fell asleep! Oh god, Leo, they took him! They took him damnit! I feel so useless! I couldn't save him Leo! I couldn't save my best friend! How will I keep our promise! How will I-" Juan was cut off by a sharp slap to the face.

"Juan, thinking about how useless you are won't bring him back. We will find and save him Juan. He will come home! I swear it!" said Leo.

A chocked sob came from the door. Leo looked up and saw his mother, Maria, crying.

"Mama, don't cry. I will bring him home!" Leo swore again.

"No. Leo. You don't get it. They had every right to take him away. I had promised to return him to his home land after six years of living away. But then... I saw how happy he was... how happy we all were with him there.... When they came to take him away from me, I refused. I told them that thay couldn't have him. That he belonged here. They came three more times and each time I told them no. But then, that last time, they said that if I refused, then they'd use force. Oh, god, this is all my fault." she sobbed into her hands.

Leo sat by his mother and held her tight as medics came in for Juan. "Don't worry mami. I will get him back. They don't know who they're messing with. I swear on my name of Leonardo Junito Cortez Gandale that I will bring him home."

The gang sat in anger and silence for the rest of the night.
