A Wolf's Journey

Hey guys welcome to the re-write of Naruto Returns. So to explain I'm gonna start things off a little differently. It begins with Naruto being younger when he turns into a demon. The story will build up from there. Oh and when I gave you guys a choice for the paring sorry but I'm gonna have to remove that. Why cause I really want it to be . Sorry for the misleading info. Well without futher hesitation the story will commence.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto (rather own beyblade so I could bring back the old beyblade cause its better than the new one)

Everything was ok in the village hidden in the leaves. After the devastating attack on Konoha by the Kyuubi the village was back on it's feet. But not everything was ok with one person. For one Uzumaki Naruto everything was awful.

Sure after 11 years of this you would think that one woulld get used to it but you don't. Naruto was different though. Even though he had masked his emotions with the mask of the "dobe", he was in reality a smart person who cared about protecting his loved ones. Naruto birthday was tomorrow so he would have to hide all day.

He would make sure that he would visit the hokage or jiji as he liked to call him and the Ichiraku's before then oh and Iruka too. Naruto knew he could defend himself against the attacks but chose not to. Why cause it would only lead to more problems. After a while he found out why the villagers hated him so. On his seventh birthday he herd some folks talking about how the Yondaime sealed the Kyuubi to the form of a small boy. After some thinking he knew they were wrong.

If the Yondaime sealed the Kyuubi in him then he wasn;t the demon just the jailer. But he didn't let it bother him because he knew if he was in that position he would do whats best for the village. After some more thinking he soon found out that the Yondaime Minato Namikaze was also his father. He thought if you took away the whisker marks you would have a child version of him.

The hokage knew that Naruto masked his emotions. When Naruto approched him with his findings he though it would be better for him to know the truth so he explained everything. Naruto was pretty surprised after it. Not only did he figure out who his family was but also that they cared for him so much even though they did what they had to.

Soon enough Naruto began to train in secret while he played the role of the dobe for the villagers. He soon went to sleep waiting for the following day.

The Next Day

Naruto had already went outside the village to hide. He knew that the mobs wouldn't look here so he was safe. The only person that had found him was the inu masked anbu that gave him breakfast and mad sure he was alright before leaving. After a while Naruto began to meditate and soon found himself in a sewer. As he continued to walk he began hearing sobs.

AS he reached the light at the end of the tunnel all he could see was a giant cage will a paper with the kanji for seal on it. As he locked inside he could see a beautiful girl that was around his age. She was wearing a red kimono with sandals. She had crimson red long hair but after an overview he was completely sure that he had never seen someone so beautiful. But he noticed she was crying and he hated seeing people cry and he did the only thing he could do.

He walked into the cage and pulled her into a hug. H then noticed as she opened her eyes that she had 9 red tails, a pair of red fox ears on top of her head, and majestic green eyes. As she could see the person hugging her she began to speak.

"Na...Naruto-kun?"

But before he could respond she pulled him onto a hug and began to repeat over and over that she was so sorry. He began to console her gently on an effort to calm her down. As she relaxed a bit he began to ask her something.

"Um...why are you apologizing you have nothing to apologize to me for." he said with a small smile.

*sniff* "yes I do it's all my fault that the villagers hate you."

She soon began to explain that she was sealed into him by his father adn that she used to be seaked inside his mother. She continued to explain that on the day he was born a man in an orange mask cam and extracted her out of Kushina (she told him his mother's name). But bfore she could do anything she was placed in a powerful genjutsu that cause her to unleashed rage everywhere.

When she finally broke it she realized that she had been sealed into him at the cost of his parents lives. She then began to say that she saw everything that has happened to him through out his life until now. Then she began to tear up again as she began to mutter that she was sorry.

Naruto just calmed her down before saying "hey it's ok I don't balme you if anyone's should be sorry it's the villagers that are blind from there fury. I understand that it wasn't your fault so don't apologize." he told er before goving her a smile at the end.

Kyuubi was dumbfounded. Here she was explaining to him why the villagers hate him and he's not mad. Hell she would have burnt this village down if they had done that to her but instead Naruto decided to bear through it. He's not mad? I thought he would be but here he is just comforting me. You are different aren't you Naru-kun?

She was broken out of her thoughts by Naruto's voice. "umm kyu-chan do you have a name besides kyuubi?"

She flushed at the added suffix to her name before replwing. "A..Akane my name is Akane."

"Akane huh? Well then Akane-chan it is." he said happily.

Akane was beyond happy. Naruto had accepted her with no hate. Naruto really felt drawn to her as he held her. He felt something deeper but couldn't figure out what it was. Akane realized that she had grown some feelings for the person in front of her. Naruto asked "Akane-chan is there a way for me to change the way this place looks?"

He soon found out that the place he was in was his mindscape as the only logical explanation "Yes just think of what you want to change and it should happen."

Akane then began so see the place change. It turned into a giant forest. She and Naruto were in a clearing where she could she a lake and a decent sized house.

"So how do you like it?"

Akane could only hug him to death while repeatedly saying thank you. She also saw that the seal change into the form of two bracelets that she wore. One on each hand. Soon they began to talk some more about their interest mostly Akane's since she knew everything about Naruto. Naruto soon found out that Akane loved animals, her favorite food was dango, she loved the stars, and some other cute quirks about her.

Soon Akane fell asleep in Naruto's arms. Naruto smiled as he gently picked her up and carryed her into the house, Making way into her new room he laid her down gently into the bed. He tucked her in with a chibi Naruto plushie that was seemingly there and kissed her forehead. He said goodnight before exiting out of his mindscape.

Outside Naruto's Mind

Naruto awoke to see it was already night fall. He made his way to his apartment. As he entered he wuickly changed before falling into his bed. As he drifted into sleep he found himself in his mindscape again but more specifically Akane's room.

He saw her with a few tears in her eyes before he wiped them away.

"Naru-kun can...can you stay with me tonight?" she asked shyly.

He could smile as he made his way to her bed. As he got comfortable he noticed that Akane began to quickly snuggle into his chest before falling asleep. He blushed slightly before he wrapped his arms around her. To him this felt right like it was th perfect thing to do. Soon both went to sleep.

Ok so how was that for a new chapter. I'm gonna have Naruto graduate from the academy at 15 with the rest of the rookie 9. Most of the abilities Naruto will have are the ones from Naruto Returns. Other than that I don't really know yet. So if any one is interested in writing the lemon parts of the story please PM me. I hope you like the decisions that were made for the story. Anyway remember to R&R
