Naruto Kumo Nin

by Dark Hunter006

My father is Dendou, a ninja from Kumo. My mother is Kushina, a ninja from Whirlpool. When these two came together, they unraveled a war which had been years in the making. A strange group are after Yugito and I, and I don't know why everyone at Whirlpool was killed off. Strange things are happening and I am revolving around it. Please R & R !

1. The First Meeting

(A/N) So this is my revised version of the first time I did Naruto Kumo Nin. The story is pretty much the same but I did make changes to how it is going to be. I noticed when I was writing the jutsu's that I made them appear differently so now all jutsu's are the Japanese names except one. I like it better as the way I came up with it. Some of you may already know the name of it, but those who haven't read it, I can't tell you yet.

Bold is the Jutsu. Bold and Italics is the biju. Now to the story

Chapter 1 – The First Meeting

Yugito Nii the long blonde haired Jinchuuriki slowly opened her purplish orbs to the world she had left behind when she had fallen asleep. As she lifted up her head from her pillow, her eyes quickly scanned the room taking in everything, including the headband that was sitting on her table. She had set it there before she had gone to bed, and it had never moved. It was still on top of the journal she always wrote in every day.

The day before had been Yugito's gennin exam making her a full fledge ninja. She had set the headband, a ninja's trademark, on the journal so she could see it when she woke up. She had three people on her team to begin with but now she was down to two. It was only Hu and her left after a knifing accident had killed the other teammate.

She quickly ran a hand through her long blonde hair before finding her usual white wrapping next to her bed. She took it off her end table and began to wrap it around her hair before it felt tight and secure. Happily jumping out of bed she grabbed her headband and placed it to her forehead and tied it around her head.

Today was a new day, she was a gennin and she would find a way to make the team she was in work. A normal squad was supposed to have three members and a sensei, so she was one member short. She opened her drawer to pull out her black pants which she quickly put on. Going in order she opened the next drawer and grabbed a black short sleeve shirt that she pulled over her head.

She took one quick look around to see if she missed anything before she pulled the chair at the table out to sit down. She slowly grabbed a pen, and the journal laying on the table, before opening up the book. She quickly flipped through a few pages before she came across some pages stuck together. She was afraid she might rip the pages, so she tried to open it up slowly. The first thing she noticed was small writing in the upper right hand corner.

She moved the journal closer to her face to see two letters in the tab of the paper. The letters said P.S. with an arrow pointing down to the middle of the page.

Dear sweetheart,

If you have gotten this far in your journal that I have left for you than perhaps I should tell you what really happened to you when you were two years old. I am sure there have been people who have given you strange looks and you don't have a clue who these people are or what they want.

When you were two years old your father found an ancient pot that he believed harbored something incredibly powerful in it. Your father opened it to discover what was inside but was taken as its host.

Your father begged with this creature inside of him to go to someone else and it kept saying no, until one day it finally asked who. Your father said you were to be the new host of this creature but it had one side effect. A life had to be taken in order to be able to move from body to body, the life being your father.

Before your father died he told me that he wanted you to be the host so he could protect you from any harm. Your father loved you very much, he didn't hate you like I know it may seem.

One night this creature came out and started to devastate the village as you. The beast inside you was controlling your body and attacking people. The beast inside was angry that it was kept like a prisoner and you were so young, it was so easy to control you.

I begged on my knees with this thing to stop attacking and just protect my daughter, you. I told it I would give it anything it needed as long as it stayed hidden until the right time or until you asked for it by name.

It was that day I had made a deal with the two tailed beast, she is the Nibi, and she is in you. The only thing she had asked for was revenge against the one who had put her in the pot in the first place.

I know that this is a big burden that we have place upon you but you are our only daughter and we cannot lose you even if we are already lost to this world. We believe that you are made for someone and something important and can't be lost yet.

The Nibi will give you strength as well as guidance so talk to her, learn from her so you can grow strong, and beautiful like I know you will. You are my angel and you always will be. Be safe in the world to come Yugito Nii.

Love,

Your mother

Yugito felt a few tears roll down her cheeks as she kept reading the paper in front of her. She was the reason that her father was dead. Her father had died because he wanted to protect her from the world and whatever was coming. "Why would you leave me like this" she said softly wiping away a few stray tears that continued to fall.

She had been through the journal time and time again because it was originally her mothers. She took a slow deep breath as she flipped past a few more pages. She finally came to a blank page before she started to write.

I don't really know what emotion to even feel right now. Every emotion I have is like pulling in an opposite direction. Just when one thing sounds like the rational choice it all changes. I now know the fate of my father but I don't know what happened to my mother and I can't even imagine. Maybe my grandfather the Raikage might know what happened to me, and them.

What is even more disconcerting than what happened to my mom is I have a tailed beast in me. I have only heard my grandfather talk about it in whispers. When you get the idea that someone is keeping secrets you get pretty good at snooping around.

I know if it was anything I really wasn't supposed to know he could have easily found me out. Maybe I just never knew enough to really ever be a problem but now I do know things.

Yugito Nii

Yugito closed her eyes for another moment as she let a few tears fall down her face. She knew now that she was sharing a body so she wasn't alone so to speak. 'Nibi are you there' Yugito asked in her mind. She felt another touch her mind and it made her jerk her eyes open before she heard a voice answer back in her head.

'I am here child' she said in Yugito's mind. The voice she had heard was different, it sounded more animal like, more feral and wild. Somewhere in the mix though, she had thought she had heard her own voice in the feral sound. 'I am in you, child, and have been since you were two years old. I listened to your mother only because she said she would help me with what I wanted.' Yugito took in a deep breath and tried to slow down her heartbeat that she knew was speeding up. She wasn't completely crazy for talking to someone else in her mind, was she?

'In my mother's journal she said that you wanted revenge against the one who put you in the pot so long ago. Nibi who was it who put you in the pot anyway.'

'It is someone that would kill you faster than you can say his name if you challenged him right now.'

'You aren't going to give me a name of this crazy person are you?' Yugito felt Nibi let out a kind of dark laugh in her head. It wasn't evil by any means but it wasn't a laugh that was a fun laugh. When the Nibi didn't answer back she figured the conversation was finished, so she turned toward the door. She was hungry and was going to go get breakfast; after all it was seven in the morning.

Yugito stepped outside her apartment and closed her front door before she took in the fresh mountain air. It was cool temperatures like it always was in Kumo. Not too much sun but enough to get the feeling of being free. She let her body take in every scent for a moment before she headed down her stairs, first to breakfast then her grandfathers. As she came down the last step she turned the corner to start going down the street but was quickly thrown to the ground.

Her body rolled a few feet away before she looked up to see someone standing in front of her. She had thought whoever it was, was going to hit her again but they were faced the other direction. She couldn't see their face but she noticed they had two swords on their back, not to mention the medium length red hair, it was hard to miss.

She saw the red haired figure move from a punch and then she heard a sound that was like someone falling to the ground. She quickly wiped the dirt off her face before she stood up and saw the man in front of her. His eyes were green but they were a piercing green. His hair covered his ears and was as she saw before, red. She noticed one strap across his chest that kept both his swords in place on his back.

The rest of his clothes were black, blacker than night. She wanted to take a step back from this stranger but her body wouldn't move. She couldn't feel her legs at all, they were frozen in place. She wasn't scared of him because he saved her from whoever had hit her. She understood what her mother meant when she said people staring and looking at her weird. Although she had seen weird looks before, it had never escalated to violence of any kind.

Yugito felt her body tighten as she noticed something about him that caught her attention now, he wasn't a Kumo Nin. The hiate across his forehead had a different mark on it. He was from somewhere else. "Who are you" She said trying to judge his reaction so she could figure him out. He didn't answer right away but instead asked a question of his own.

"Are you ok" he asked. She stared at him for a moment. He was deliberately dodging her question so she couldn't figure him out. This wasn't going to be as easy as she would have liked. She was about to ask another question but he spoke again apparently not done asking his question. "Yugito Nii."

She quickly shook her head trying to collect her thoughts. This man knew her and she knew nothing about him. How could he possibly know who she was? "How do you know who I am, you're not even from this village. Did you come to kill us all?" No sarcasm was in her voice when she asked and he could easily see that.

"I shadowed the man who hit you and I heard him talking to himself. He mentioned your name and I figured that's who he was going to go find. I stepped in after he hit you to make sure he didn't keep going." She nodded her head before she started to figure out what the heck was going on.

"And I appreciate what you did but who are you. Why are you here in Kumo? And even more than that, what do you want with me." Naruto didn't respond to her question and that was starting to really bug her. She didn't like get ignored and she was going to say something back but she noticed a group of ninja appear next to the red haired figure.

They all had Katana's on their backs and kept their faces covered. One man who clearly was leading them drew his sword and pointed it towards the red figures neck. "I don't know how you got in here but I can promise you won't live long" he said before he swiped with his sword. The red haired man ducked before he drew his own sword blocking the next strike down. By the time he could react the four others had already drawn their swords and were swiping as well.

The red haired figure quickly skidded back before he drew his second sword clashing with the man right next to him. Out of the corner of his eye he could see all the blades converging on his stomach. Reacting swiftly he added chakra to his feet and vaulted himself over the five ninja. He stopped suddenly when a white haired man with a small goatee stood in front of him. The ninja behind noticed who was there also and bowed to the ground with their sword also on the ground.

"Raikage" the leader had started. The white haired man stuck his hand in front silencing the man.

"So your Naruto Uzumaki" the Raikage asked the red haired figure.

"You know who I am" Naruto asked his face showing no emotion what so ever. He was in front of the village leader this is what he wanted from the beginning. The Raikage folded his arms across his large chest before he nodded his head at Naruto.

"I know of you Naruto. I know because you gave the forbidden scroll back to Konoha after someone took it away. A task that even Konoha couldn't do by itself. Now what do you want Naruto." Naruto quickly spun his swords and the commanding ninja quickly stood up to react but stopped when he noticed Naruto putting his swords into the sheaths still on his back.

"All I want is to talk Raikage."

"So talk" the Raikage said as if it was the most natural thing in the world to just talk out loud. Naruto let out a low groan before he turned to Yugito who was staring at him from the corner she had been in. She was peeking his interest not just because she was like him but she knew something, some secret and she was good at hiding it.

"Can we talk in private Raikage?" The Raikage slowly looked toward Yugito and motioned for her to follow them to his office in the tower. As they walked up the stairs both guards held their swords out toward Naruto blocking his path. The Raikage paused to see how Naruto would react to the guards and folded his arms across his chest. With a quick flash of red the two guards that were standing at the door were on the ground with Naruto Uzumaki was standing over them. Naruto cocked his head slightly to the side as he glared up at the Raikage who only smirked back.

The Raikage slowly opened the door and walked in leaving the two Jinchuuriki to walk through the door. The Raikage quickly sat in his chair on the other side of the table and stared at Naruto for a long moment. "How old are you Naruto Uzumaki you look pretty young." Naruto paused waiting to see if the Raikage would ask anything else. When he didn't Naruto answered truthfully.

"I am 14 years old Raikage. Now I have a question for you if you don't mind." The Raikage wasn't used to being spoken to so directly and sat up for a moment before he relaxed and set his gaze on Naruto. The red haired boy in front of him was definitely interesting and had no fear of fighting. Even more than that he had taken out the guards in a flash of red, he figured it was something strong.

"Depending on what the question is" he said.

"You seem to know about me Raikage, what do you know." The Raikage stared at him a long moment but finally crossed his fingers together and placed them over his mouth. He looked over at Yugito who was still looking over at Naruto trying to figure him out.

For the life of her she couldn't figure him out at all. She was definitely attracted to his looks, but she couldn't let that cloud her judgment. The man in front of her was not a Kumo ninja and she had to figure out who he was. She had more than one reason to do that now. She couldn't figure out why she was also chosen to take part in this private talk about whatever it was. She was Yugito Nii 14 year old Nibi container and she was confused.

"What I know about you Naruto is you are the host of the nine tails Kyuubi. I know you got the forbidden scroll after it was stolen from Konoha. I also heard you have been by yourself for a couple years after the man you were traveling with died. Now why did you ask that question, what is it about you that I need to know?"

"Forgive me Raikage but I have another question before I answer your questions. Do you know what happened to Whirlpool?" The Raikage unfolded his fingers and laid them flat on his desk. His eyes veered to Yugito Nii his granddaughter than back to Naruto Uzumaki the stranger who was in his village.

"Whirlpool you say. Now that village I have not heard about in a long while. The village was destroyed from the inside out by its own people. They fought over Fujinjutsu and over time nothing was left. I heard a rumor about Whirlpool though. I had heard there were survivors and by the fact that you are here it seems like the rumor was correct." Naruto nodded his head at the Raikage but turned back toward Yugito to stare at her for a moment.

"You're a tailed beast" Yugito asked Naruto. He looked at her and let out another low groan.

"And so are you Yugito" he said. She stared at him with a cold almost unforgiving stare. There was no way that someone who didn't even know her was going to start saying trash like that to her face. She wasn't going to let something like that slide so easily.

"Look here asshole I don't know who you think you are but you don't even know me, and how can you just say something like that so outright" she yelled at him. He paused and stared back at her before he responded.

"It's not an outrageous statement if it's true. My senses are even greater now that I have the Kyuubi mixed with me. You can't hide who you are Yugito Nii."

"Ok you two I think we are getting off topic. Now tell me Naruto why you asked me about what I know about Whirlpool" the Raikage said butting in.

"As you can see from my headband I was born in Whirlpool and so was my mother Kushina Uzumaki" Naruto started. He stopped for a moment to take in the Raikage's expression as well as Yugito's. They both wanted him to get on with the story. "I would have been born in Konoha had there not been problems with the host before my mother Mito Uzumaki. My mother was going to go to Konoha to avoid the war but because she had special chakra suited for being a host, she was chosen for Mito's replacement.

With her as the new host she stayed in Whirlpool and that is where I was born. My mother was the one who gave me the Kyuubi because I would have died. It was only because of the healing powers of the Kyuubi that I even lived in the first place. In order for me to survive she gave me what was inside her and it killed her because of it. My father and mother are both dead."

"Your father" the Raikage asked. Naruto only nodded his head for a moment as he let the information sink in. His father was the reason he had entered into Kumo in the first place. His father was his only hope in the subject of joining them.

"I am the son of Dendou and Kushina Uzumaki" he said. He stared at the Raikage and Yugito both waiting for a reaction. He could see Yugito twist her head slightly and turn to look at her grandfather. His reaction was a little bit more aggressive then hers. He quickly slammed his fist down on the table in front of him making both of the Jinchuuriki jump.

"How dare you come into this village and start spouting lies about your father. Dendou was a Kumo Nin and he never had a son. Nothing would ever even possess him to do something like that. As far as I was concerned he wasn't even seeing anyone" the Raikage yelled. As he kept talking it got calmer.

"I know who my father was because of a journal that was left by someone who survived all of the madness of the wars. And what you know about Whirlpool's history is wrong" Naruto stated before his eyes shifted to red with black slits. Naruto's aura changed as well. His presence in the room was now darker. The Raikage growled before he grabbed Naruto by the neck slamming him to the ground in a hard crash.

"Let Naruto Go" Naruto growled under the pressure of the Raikage holding him down. The Raikage slowly let his grip go but kicked him across the room making him crash into the door. "Do you even know who I am A" Naruto growled again.

"From the sound of things you are the Kyuubi, although I am not sure how that is possible. You are taking over Naruto somehow and now you got me intrigued. Does your host know you are controlling him?"

"Yes." Naruto's eyes shifted back to their usual green color before he turned to look at Yugito. "Tell him your secret too Yugito Nii." Naruto's voice was dark and at the point of rage but he didn't make a move or even raise his voice anymore. "She, your granddaughter found a journal as well."

"Yes I know about the journal it was left over from her mother's. It was also so she could feel like she was still talking to her daughter." Yugito took a step forward and rested her hands against the table as she stared at her grandfather long and hard.

"You knew all along what the journal was about. You even knew what happened to my father and what happened to my mother, not to mention all of the history I don't know. You hid my parents' death from me" Yugito said. She started slow and calm but sped up and got louder. "He is dead that is what happened, the damn pot the Nibi was put into, you knew all along."

"It was a secret that was not supposed to be passed to you. You Yugito Nii were never supposed to find out. Over the years you heard this and that but it was never enough for you to put two and two together. You must have found the page that your mother wrote for you about what really happened. Despite what I told her she still wanted you to know what happened. I thought you would never find out so I never removed the page, besides it would look raise suspicion. Instead I put the pages together so you couldn't easily find the truth."

"MY PARENTS ARE DEAD AND YOU ARE GOING TO KEEP WHY THEY ARE DEAD A SECRET" she yelled. A few tears rolled down her face but she kept looking at her grandfather so she could figure out the truth. "How did my mother die?" As much as a tough person he could be, for the moment the Raikage's face was gentle.

"Your mother died during a mission. The mission was supposed to be recon, gain information and come back. Someone betrayed her though and gave her away. They found her and killed her, successfully ending that mission. I sent her because she was good at what she did, but she was betrayed."

"Who can I trust if you lie to me grandfather, no one here even can be trusted. We try to survive but for what. What is the purpose of trying to live a normal life of Jinchuuriki if we are always lied to or put in the dark?" The Raikage didn't answer his granddaughter but turned his attention at Naruto who was looking at Yugito and him. This really was getting screwed up with all kind of lies.

"You did this to my granddaughter Naruto. If you wouldn't have put into her head the whole dark part of being a Jinchuuriki she wouldn't have said anything." Naruto took in a deep breath and looked at Yugito's purplish eyes one more time. He could see the sadness mixed in with the anger and pain. She had learned the news that made her feel all of those emotions, and he could see the struggle in her eyes.

"I didn't do anything or say anything to your granddaughter about being and Jinchuuriki. Until I told you what and who I was she never even knew who or what I am. Who is Dendou, he was my father and he died protecting my family. He died protecting my mother and me, all because the war the one man started" Naruto said.

"One man" the Raikage asked sitting back down in the chair behind the desk he had hit just a few minutes before. The truth seemed to get more twisted as they continued to learn.

"The person who destroyed Whirlpool was a man named Karm. Karm believed that all Fujinjutsu users needed to be wiped from existence, because they were so powerful and could do so much wrong. He gave that speech time and time again and people began to revolt against him and what he believed in. On the other hand some people started to believe in what he was speaking and decided to help him.

It wasn't too long before the whole village was in complete chaos and disarray. People died daily and it only got worse over time and time. My father was pierced through the heart with both of the swords that are on my back. They were left for whoever was the survivor of the complete and utter destruction of Whirlpool. The survivor was obviously me and I took the swords and left Whirlpool."

He stared at Naruto for a moment before he asked the question that was circling in his mind. "Naruto, how did you survive for so long by yourself? You were only a baby when your mother was killed and your father was killed before that. If you were the only survivor no one else could have taken care of you."

"And normally you would have been right but a man named Seiji was traveling through the Whirlpool village and he found a baby crying on the ground. The baby had red hair and eyes that kept shifting back and forth between red with black slits and the green eyes. Seiji took care of me and became my sort of pseudo father. He taught me to fight and how to survive. He couldn't just leave a poor baby all alone by themselves that is why he took me. The swords that had pierced my father were nearby and Seiji grabbed those too.

I traveled with Seiji for years all over the world. Some villages we stopped in some we just left alone. We were traveling I don't remember where to but someone had the Forbidden scroll. We knew that they had stolen it so we stole it back and trained in it before we went to Konoha. When we got there we told them that someone had stolen it and we returned it to them. Of course we kind of left out the part of training in the scroll before we returned it.

As to my father you said there was no way he would ever have children but he did. The only thing I know about my father was his name was Dendou and he originally was a Kumo Nin. I also know he went to Whirlpool where he met my mother and he stayed. I don't think that was really his plan but he did anyway."

"Your father was a great man who was also a great fighter. He always seemed to catch woman's hearts without even trying. When the man said he was going to help you with something, he was genuine and did help you. He was kind but liked to be by himself from time to time. Your father also had a special bloodline. He had a bloodline which I have never seen anywhere else. I honestly don't really know where he got the bloodline in the first place but it was unique.

I saw him stop a fight in the village and he expelled what was like this blue liquid. I know that makes it sounds like water but it wasn't that kind of blue. The color was kind of an off blue but it slithered around the two people fighting and pulled them apart and dropped them to the ground. When your father walked away the ooze, liquid whatever it was went away. The two boys ran opposite directions and we never saw them fight again. I would say that it was a technique but I have never seen anything like it.

Now I have a question for you. Why did the Kyuubi take control of your body?" Naruto looked at him for a moment. He was still trying to process all the information about his dad. It was a lot to take in and it was making him crazy. And this weird bloodline that his father had, did that mean that he had it. Naruto quickly took in another deep breath and looked down to the ground before he looked back up toward the Raikage.

"In order for me to answer that question Raikage there is more of my history that you must know. I have met Karm before, so I know who he is. He found me and Seiji traveling one time and told us that he was a survivor of the Whirlpool massacre. He had the headband to prove he had been Whirlpool so we didn't give much thought to that. Karm traveled with us for a while and he helped people. Seiji was kind of a saint and so we would help people in the smaller villages for not much of a price. He was nice but we couldn't do things for free.

We noticed one day though that Karm was getting a little bit greedy with his pricing when he was helping people. When we went to go ask him about it he snapped at us both and Seiji told me to get back. Seiji said he should have never trusted Karm in the first place, and any normal person would have sensed his evil intentions. Seiji and Karm eventually fought and the battle raged on for a while. I was about nine years old at the time and so I hid. The battle I was watching was way beyond what I was capable of.

Karm seemed to have the upper hand but Seiji used a jutsu that is incredibly dangerous to pull off. The technique was one that we learned in the Forbidden scroll and it really is that dangerous. Seiji pushed his body past what it was capable of and the stress brought him tumbling to the ground. Karm had said that he claimed victory that day. Seiji died as a result of the jutsu that he used, or more because he pushed himself so hard to protect me. I was nine years old without a real mother or father. The pseudo father figure I had been looking up to was now dead and I didn't have anything left.

I left the village I was in and I begged the Kyuubi to help me. I made a deal with him because I wanted to kill and utterly destroy Karm with all of my being. The Kyuubi could feel the anger and rage in me, and I think that is one of the reasons he decided to help me in the first place. Because of all the hate and anger I felt the Kyuubi said yes to make me stronger but I wasn't expecting all of the pain that came with what happened next."

"What did happen next" Yugito asked now intrigued at the whole conversation. She had a new level of sadness for Naruto now. She was learning his history and it was breaking her heart to hear what he had been going through. Yes her story had been sad but he lost both his father and his mother, not mention everyone else that he cared about. He truly had gone through devastation and back, and it seemed like there was no end.

"The Kyuubi made me stronger by mixing our souls I guess you could say together. My spirit or my beings is…" He paused for a moment trying to think of the best word to describe it. "I guess the only way to describe it would be a two headed spirit. One head represents me and the other represents the Kyuubi. The Kyuubi and I are more combined and so I get greater strength, speed, senses, and a better healing ability. The whole process took about a week and it was excruciatingly painful. I thought I might lose my mind some times because of how painful it was.

The Kyuubi was able to take over my body when my eyes changed to red with black slits. He used to only take over during the night but I stopped him one time before he got me into trouble. He was angry at something and he was killing innocent people. I told him that although he was angry we needed to stay alive. I finally got him to believe as I did but he promised me that when the time came he would take over.

Another thing I got because of the Kyuubi is red chakra. Usually chakra is blue but even without being in a Kyuubi state my chakra is red. I think that is because of the deal that I made with the Kyuubi. I wasn't just the host for the Kyuubi anymore, our souls were entwined. I have a question for you Raikage. You told me that my father was a great man and from what you're telling me he seemed honorable, why would he leave."

"That is a question I have asked myself again and again. Your father went missing after a mission and I just figured he turned his back on Kumo but I don't know anymore. If he went to Whirlpool for supplies or something why did he stay there? Did Dendou believe he was being chased or is it simply that he fell for your mother who was still living in Whirlpool" the Raikage asked. He wasn't really sure about anything anymore. The truth and what they were all learning seemed to only get more confusing.

Naruto shook his head before he tried to clear his thoughts enough to focus on the topic at hand. Why had his father left the village, or just disappeared period. What had been so important he had left everything else behind? Was his mother really that important to his father that he would forget about everyone and everything? "Let me get this straight. My father goes on a mission and just disappears after it is completed and then he just forfeits his life at Kumo and starts a life in Whirlpool."

"Something like that yes but the mission that Dendou went on was never complete. Whatever had happened to him made him not finish the mission. The more I think about what really happened the more I wonder if he really betrayed us. I wonder if someone was following him and this was a way to keep us safe. Just like everyone in Kumo he loved his village. I heard him brag about it a few times." Naruto slowly rubbed his eyes and looked at the ground for a moment.

His head was starting to hurt from thinking so much. Everything used to seem so black and white and then it became grey. It was the color that left unanswered questions, about what really happened in the past. Yugito, him, his father they all had secret pasts buried in some kind of mystery. It was suspenseful to see it all unravel and fall apart. Nothing really seemed to make sense anymore. His life used to be about revenge and getting powerful but now what.

"What can I do for you Naruto" The Raikage suddenly asked when it was quiet for a moment. They were all looking at each other waiting for another person to start talking.

"What I want you can't give me Raikage. My only request now is that I join the ranks of the Kumo Nin." Naruto said finally. He broke the uncomfortable silence with that comment. He thought for a moment that the Raikage would yell and scream but he started to laugh. Yugito over in the corner looked puzzled as well. No one told a joke that was funny but here he was, her grandfather laughing.

"I had a feeling that you would ask that question as soon as you mentioned that your father was Dendou. I told you before that Dendou had a powerful bloodline. That bloodline may also have been given to you. You very well could be the rebirth of Dendou. The liquid like bloodline could be yours Naruto. I have a feeling only time will tell the truth though. As to your request about becoming a Kumo ninja I accept. I would be very happy to have a ninja of your capability at our disposal. We are a member short on one of our teams, and Yugito just happens to be part of the group."

Naruto bowed his head and looked at Yugito to see her expression. She had an emotionless expression on her face. Naruto looked back to the Raikage and bowed one more time. "Thank you Raikage" he said as he walked out of the room and back down the stairs leaving Yugito, and her grandfather alone.

Yugito slowly put her hands on her hips like she was going to say something but remained silent until the Raikage turned back around. He laughed a soft laugh but turned away from her again. "He must interest you a lot" he finally said in the silence.

"I didn't say anything at all" she said turning to face him now. Her eyes held a little bit of frustration but she tried to let her emotions go before they got worse. She knew what happened when she got angry and even more than that, she now knew why. The Nibi in her increased her anger and any other emotion she was having. The Nibi was an emotion amplifier. At the very least she did that sometimes.

"I know you didn't say anything child. The reason I stated what I said was because of the way you were looking at him. You want to understand him but you can't." Yugito was about to say something but the Raikage tossed a Kumo headband toward her. The Raikage turned back away to look outside at the partly cloudy day. "Naruto is already part of your group but in order for you to be able to actually have a good sturdy relationship he stays with you."

"But why would you…"she started. He slowly turned back around and stuck his hand out cutting her off.

"I saw the way you looked at him Yugito. What I just told you was also not a question it was an order." She held her breath for a moment before she bowed her head and walked out the door and out of the tower.

As she walked down the steps she saw Naruto the red haired Jinchuuriki looking around at everything. Her eyes had followed him so well but then he just disappeared. She looked around another moment but felt someone breathe down her neck. Knowing right away who it was she brought her right elbow back to hit him in the head. Instead of ducking like she thought he was going to, he grabbed onto her arm.

"Testing me" he asked with no emotion in his voice. She sweep her left leg to knock him on the ground but he pinned her foot down before he swept her legs. She thought she was going to hit the ground hard but he kicked his leg out to catch her before she hit it. With a swift motion he grabbed her arm and pulled her back up to a standing position.

"How did you do that" she asked him with a smirk on her face. She really had no idea how he could pull off a move like that. There was no way that he could possibly be that skilled in fighting. Maybe for that moment she had fought the Kyuubi. She thought about it again but realized the Kyuubi would have let her fall, so that thought went away.

"I already told you about my senses, speed, and strength" Naruto said starting to walk away. She quickly caught his arm but this time it was a gentle touch, not another test. "What do you want" Naruto asked in the Kyuubi's voice. She easily could tell it wasn't Naruto. The Kyuubi's voice was dark and scary with no humanity at all.

"I want to know what you taught Naruto and how you taught him. The move he pulled off was amazing. I also know you won't hurt me as him" she said. She never saw anything but a flash of red that pinned her down on the ground. She felt his hand tight on her throat and his dark and scaring voice coming from the handsome body.

"Don't confuse me with Naruto Yugito Nii. I am not compassionate like him so I will think nothing of killing you. He might on the other hand go against it, since you seem to intrigue him. Don't you dare for one minute forget who you are talking too though? I am the Kyuubi, the nine tailed demon fox, and king of the demons."

She only nodded her head and the Kyuubi took a step back as Naruto's eyes changed back to the green color that she was starting to really like. He stuck his hand out and pulled her back up and waited instead of leaving. He could see the Kumo headband in her hand and she quickly handed it to him.

"The Raikage said that was for you and he also said that you were to stay with me so would could have a good relationship. You staying with me consist of you staying at my apartment. And by the way I never thanked you for saving me from whoever hit me when I left my apartment. That was the first person who had ever actually hit me and it kind of surprised me" she said. She had hoped that he would be paying attention the whole time and he had been.

He was silent for another moment but finally took his whirlpool headband off and put on the new Kumo headband he had just been given. He turned back toward her so she could see how it looked. She gave him a simple smile so he understood that it fit him. He nodded his head at her approval before he turned away from her again. "The Kyuubi doesn't trust you one bit" he said quietly.

"He told you that" she asked in sadness. A demon fox didn't trust her. She didn't really blame him because she didn't believe a lot of people. She didn't even trust her grandfather right now. Her grandfather had lied to her about her tailed beast.

"I can feel his emotions and his anger. You could say it is a little bit of both of ours. I know you don't have a reason to go against me but the Kyuubi thinks you do."

"I won't betray you Naruto" she said softly. She ran her hands through her long blonde hair and just simply smiled. "You saved me Naruto and I can't go against that. You're not a bad person you have just gone through a lot of bad stuff."

"If it wasn't for the Kyuubi I would have died so long ago when the world came crashing down." He was silent for another moment but finally spoke in a quiet voice. "Yugito you have to promise me something." She began to wonder what kind of thing he needed her to promise. What could be so important she had to promise? She nodded her head and he continued. "Karm is dangerous and I have a lived for nothing but revenge. When we run into Karm I need you and whoever the other team member is to stay away from him.

Karm is far stronger than any of us and you don't need to risk your lives for my problem. That bastard will pay for everything he ever did to me and every person he ever hurt. That death toll does not need to involve you as well." She stood still for a moment as she took in everything that he had just told her. Of course if she was in his space she would have lived for nothing but revenge. On the other hand why was he worried about her? Did a part of her feel worried for him. She didn't even know him. What was going on with her?

Regardless of whatever she was feeling, she felt herself answer his question. "I promise Naruto." Oh she sounded so pathetic like she would run to his beck and call. Why did she feel so attached to him? She was grateful that he had saved her but she was starting to wonder if it was for another reason too. Of course she had found him very attractive and a little on the darker side. Maybe that's why she was attracted to him, because he was a bad boy.

"Who is this other member of the group" Naruto asked leaning against the wall they were near. It kind of surprised her that he was even still sticking around. She had figured that as soon as he knew what was going on he would run off. He didn't strike her as someone who could settle down in one place knowing his history. He had been on the run for a while. She knew that would shake the senses of any person. She decided since he was curious she would answer him anyway though.

"His name is Hu and he was at the academy with me. The two of us have known each other for a really long time and I think that is one of the reasons they put us together. After the accident with the other member, our team kind of broke apart. If you wouldn't have showed up who knows where the group would have been. Our sensei didn't really want just a two person cell." She noticed his reaction to the answer as he readjusted. She figured whatever she said had got to him in some way. She was about to ask him what happened but he spoke again.

"You love him don't you" he asked. She looked wide eyed at Naruto for a moment. Oh he thought she was in love with Hu because they had known each other for a while. She started to laugh in her head but decided she better answer him.

Yugito's POV

I couldn't help but laugh at his confusion even if I understood it. Hu and I had been at the academy together, we had a history. Even though the two of us were close I definitely was not in love with Hu. The thought of Hu even touching me in an intimate way was enough to make me want to gag. I didn't have my eyes on Hu anyway; I had my eyes on Naruto. I couldn't lie to myself anymore. I was intrigued by Naruto and I couldn't completely figure out why. There was a connection between us but I couldn't understand why it was there. Was the connection merely us both being Jinchuuriki and was it something more.

I had been looking at Naruto the whole time I was thinking about Hu and I could see Naruto turn his head in confusion. He didn't understand why I was looking at him like I was, and that made the blush start to run across my cheeks.

Naruto's POV

I don't know what I said or did but she started staring at me. I could see her face start to redden when she figured I knew she was staring. What was her deal? I mean what, did I say to her. Does she think staring at me is really going to help? She should know by now that I don't really trust other people. The only person I ever really trusted was Seiji and he is dead because he protected me. That memory that picture in my head made me turn away from her gaze. Every time something important was happening I would always think about what he did for me as a pseudo father. Dendou my real father wasn't there so someone else had to be.

I couldn't seem to understand what I was supposed to do now that I was in Kumo. My whole plan of going to Kumo was because I knew that I could go there. My father had lived here, so I figured why, couldn't I. Although it probably never looked like it I was tired of running from everyone including life. I was tired of revenge. The whole Idea of revenge and having your life revolve around it was tiring. I wanted to just live. I wanted Karm to stop being such an influence on my life. I wanted him to stop controlling my life.

Normal POV

She could see that something was bugging him when he turned his body to look somewhere else. For a moment she thought that she had made him uncomfortable but this seemed different. He seemed like he was lost in his own thoughts not because of her. She didn't know if she was supposed to talk to him or leave him alone. She started to choose the latter but he turned back around to face her. He held her eyes for a moment before he zipped in a flash of red to stand at her back. Her breathe caught itself tight in her chest as she took an unconscious step away from him. "You can feel the Kyuubi in me can't you" Naruto questioned Yugito quietly. She didn't answer him right away but felt her body start to slowly pulse a dark violet purple. As the waves started to emanate from her body Naruto strongly gripped her shoulders and turned her around to face his direction.

Naruto could tell that she was in pain because her body was starting to cringe after each wave that continued to shoot outward. Slowly losing control of her knees Yugito's form slammed into the dirt kicking up a little bit of dust around them on impact. Yugito let out a low scream that only Naruto seemed to pick up on. Her head kept drooping forward, and was only a foot or so from the cold hard unforgiving ground.

Yugito's eyes flashed a purplish color for a moment before she crashed her head farther to the ground. Naruto's body grabbed on to her before she could fall to the ground in complete exhaustion. Naruto knew that the pushy Nibi inside Yugito could feel the power emanating from him. If Nibi wanted revenge on whoever put her in the pot power would help her get that. Naruto knew what was happening to Yugito, and he also knew that this simply wasn't just the Nibi taking over, she was changing. As Naruto went to pull her back up he felt her push his body away from hers. The strength he felt though pushed him back a few feet and he skidded across the ground. His eyes quickly darted back up to hers but he saw something different, they were full purple like she was completely possessed.

"Nibi" Naruto asked. He knew right away who it was but he needed to be completely sure. When an evil smirk appeared across her beautiful face he knew he had hit the nail on the head. He had guessed right the Nibi had taken over Yugito's body for a moment. All Naruto saw was a blur of purple as Yugito's body landed in front of him.

"Where is the Kyuubi" he heard Yugito say. This voice wasn't her usual voice though this was the Nibi. This was the vengeful tailed beast that had been locked up. Naruto didn't answer though as his eyes shifted to the Kyuubi's red with black slits down the center. "Kyuubi" the Nibi Yugito said again.

"What are you doing controlling Yugito Nibi" he asked. Anger was slightly noticeable in his voice. The Kyuubi swiftly grabbed the Nibi by her shoulders trying to hold her still but elegantly used to arms to knock him away.

"I want your power Kyuubi. I want the deal that you made with your little red haired holder" the Nibi yelled as she slammed her whole body into the Kyuubi. Naruto's body crashed to the ground before he rolled and slammed into a rock. "I have been imprisoned in that pot for a very long time and I will not let that man do it again. In order for me to make sure that never happens again I need power. What greater power is there than stealing from one's enemies?"

The Kyuubi laughed an evil laugh for a moment before he stood up and flashed his red eyes. His body vanished in a red flash as he landed behind the Nibi. The Nibi, who recognized the biju signature behind her, thrust her leg backwards to catch him off balance. The Kyuubi moved to the side slightly to dodge her kick before he brought his hands around the back of the Nibi's neck and slammed her down to the ground. The slight shock of being hit hard knocked her out of her Nibi state. Yugito turned over so her back was on the ground as she stared up at red eyes with black slits.

She knew right away who it was so she didn't make a move to get up until he let her. With a satisfied grin the Kyuubi disappeared as Naruto's eyes shifted back to green. She noticed the change in his eyes and in him as he stuck his hand out and pulled her up. She released his hand and let her body relax a moment before she turned back to Naruto who had already turned away. "You know the Nibi took over you right" Naruto asked surprising Yugito.

"She did what?" Yugito asked. Had she really just been taken over by her beast inside of her? She was starting to wonder if that was the sharp pain that she felt through her body. She knew that she had been fighting the pain but not much after that.

"The Nibi took over your body as the Kyuubi first took over mine. The Nib is trying to make you like me, more of a mix or fusion. The Nibi wants power to destroy her enemy and doesn't care about the cost. She is not going to take your feelings into consideration though. You Yugito Nii are becoming like me because this is what the Nibi decrees. She is the one calling the shots right now, not you, and not me." Yugito's voice and posture became more aggressive and a smirk appeared on Naruto's face.

"WHY THE HELL, WOULD SHE DO THAT? DOES SHE REALLY THINK SHE CAN JUST TAKE OVER MY BODY LIKE THAT? I WILL NOT LET HER DO THAT AGAIN" Yugito yelled with rage. "She took the sanctity of my own body from me when I became her host." Yugito's voice started to get lower as her body crashed to the ground. This time it was not because of physical pain that she was on the ground. Naruto again sat next to her and just tried to study her face as she looked like she was ready to cry. Yugito closed her eyes but Naruto still noticed the few tears starting to roll down her face. "My mother wrote in the journal that my father was the first host of the Nibi. She told me that my father died in making me a host." She paused for a moment as more tears started to fall down her face.

"My mother wrote that she and my father wanted me to survive. They believed that I was meant for someone and something special. I can't take it anymore Naruto. I just can't." As the tears started to fall even more she leaned into Naruto who wrapped his arms gently around her body. As she kept falling he pulled her even closer to him and kissed the top of her head. Naruto closed his own eyes and tried to focus on the Kyuubi that was part of his soul. The two headed soul he now had.

When Naruto felt the dark presence in his mind he knew that he had found the Kyuubi in his soul. The room he was in was pure black except for the Kyuubi's red eyes with black slits that seemed to cover the length of the room. Naruto had seen those eyes a thousand times and held no fear. 'Kyuubi the Nib really hurt her. I know that the Nibi wants revenge on whoever sealed her in the pot but look at what Yugito will lose. She still has her grandfather and village. When I made the deal with you I had nothing left to lose, and to this day I have never regretted my decision, but the Nibi isn't thinking this through' Naruto said to the Kyuubi, his other half in his mindscape.

'The Nibi believes that she is in the right by making Yugito like you. The Nibi does not care about anything except her own desires. I know that she made a deal with Yugito's mother but it was still based around revenge and what she wanted' the Kyuubi said back in his mindscape.

'What is happening to us Kyuubi? Are we starting to go soft because of this Yugito Nii who is wrapped up in my arms?'

'You have seen other Jinchuuriki before Naruto, but not one you think is so beautiful. You may have only known her for a few hours but you can feel the connection starting to grow between the two of you. You know that she can feel it too. I don't think you're so stupid as to not know the ways between two lovers.' Naruto's face became flushed as he stared at the Kyuubi's dark eyes. The Kyuubi let out a chuckle before he decided to continue. 'You are intrigued by her, at the same time she is intrigued by you. She may have not come across another Jinchuuriki before, which in and out of itself could cause this. You've have gotten use to toying with people's emotions over the years; why not toy with hers as well.'

For a reason unknown to himself Naruto couldn't in good conscious be that mean to Yugito after everything she had lost. In some ways she was just like him and that scared him more than he was willing to admit. He let a low growl escape his lips at the Kyuubi before he opened up his eyes to see Yugito still snugged up in his shoulders. He wondered what exactly she had gone through that had made her the way she was. Yugito's was becoming exactly like Naruto used to be, full of anger. 'There is a way' the Kyuubi said to Naruto in his head. 'Put your forehead against hers and you can float through memories that she has had. I can only do this because she is becoming like you. Don't think that you have mind reading powers now though'. Naruto did as he was told and put his forehead against hers before he felt like his entire being was getting pulled away from his body. Naruto let out a loud scream in his mind but stopped when he looked at what was around him.

Yugito's memories – Naruto's POV

I was having a hard time figuring out where I was because it looked so different than where I had just been. I moved my head to the right and then to the left before I heard a whimpering sound from behind me. I turned my body to see a young girl with blonde hair a little past her shoulders. She was sitting on the ground in a ball starting to cry. It took me a moment but I noticed the girl was Yugito. In knew that I was in Yugito's memories but I was used to seeing the older version of her, this version just looked so fragile. I figured because it was her memories I couldn't do anything about the crying girl. It was kind of a saddening thought watching a girl cry and not being able to do anything about it. I hated to see girls cry.
I was about to yell at her memories to help the crying girl on the ground but a young boy with short black hair walked next to her. As I was trying to figure out who the boy next to her was I saw him lightly rub her back with gentle circles. I was starting to get slightly jealous even if it was a memory. As I kept watching I saw another person walk by who was sending a dark glare toward Yugito.

I saw Yugito's features when she saw the expression on the person who had just walked past her. I saw her younger body almost cringe and tighten. "Hey Yugito don't pay any attention" the boy next to her said. I was starting to wonder if the boy in front of me was the younger version of the other group member. I couldn't think of what his name but even more I didn't care. They really did have a connection or at least he did with her. As I studied her for another minute though, I began to notice something that the boy next to her wouldn't be able to catch. There were purplish waves that were rolling off her body. I could see how vibrant the color purple was coming from her, but I couldn't figure out why that was happening.

I thought maybe she was angry but I couldn't figure out if it was because the boy was touching her or something else. I started to laugh at myself when I finally put two and two together. She was getting angry at the stares she was getting, and that was fueling her anger as well as the Nibi's. The Nibi was taking in her anger as well fueling her already insane rage for being sealed in a pot. I knew the Kyuubi in me would hate being sealed in a pot too though. As I closed my eyes to think I could notice behind my closed eye lids that the memory was changing to a different one.

I was now standing in a classroom which I figured had to be their academy. Again I noticed the long blonde haired girl in the back of the class. As I looked around to get familiar with all the faces I noticed another boy staring at her. This boy was different than the one that was sitting next to her in the last memory. Instead of a gentle nature in that kids eyes I saw nothing but hatred. I now knew that this kid knew who she was and what she was, but she still hadn't. The Nibi had never talked to her or left her any clues about her presence In Yugito's body.

I felt bad for Yugito because she never knew why people were looking at her the way they were. I could see she kept looking out of the corner of her eyes to see if he was still looking. He never stopped staring at her. Maybe the kid was afraid that she was going to do something to hurt her. Whatever the reason was I was just glad that she could start to put fear in people's hearts instead of the other way around.

The scenery around me shifted again but I was outside like the first memory. I could tell though that this memory was when she was older. She looked a little more mature than her last two memories. I could see a few trees around us but most of the scenery was yellow golden grass. The grass was about ankle height so it wasn't very tall but it looked like a wheat field. I knew it was not that because it was just grass but it wasn't very pretty. As I looked around I noticed that I didn't see anybody around me. There was no Yugito in the scenery even though this was her memory.

I took a deep breath in and as I let it out I heard a deafening scream which left me in a fighting stance. The scream for some reason shook my body to the core but I couldn't figure out why. I didn't understand why I was getting so defensive when it was just a memory, something that had already happened. I noticed a purplish figure slid to the side to dodge an attack. As I looked closer I recognized the figure which was Yugito as well as the cloak form of the Nibi. Something had triggered the Nibi's anger to come out but Yugito had no memory of being controlled like that. I was beginning to remember that Yugito had told me that on a mission her other teammate had died. The other member had been knifed killing them on the spot.

I knew the tailed beasts inside were born from anger and hatred. She must have felt so much of both with watching her team member die that she went Nibi. I felt something that seemed totally bazar but I knew it was very possible. I sensed Yugito behind me even though I was watching her in front of me. I felt her energy that was in turmoil right at the moment. "I didn't want you to see this Naruto. This was one part of my history I never wanted you to know about" Yugito said from behind me.

I felt her comforting hand scrape across my lower back as she came right next to me. I hadn't realized we were that close yet. I didn't say anything about her touch but started in on my own thoughts. "Well I am here watching your memory of what happened. You went Nibi after watching your comrade die at the hands of whom" I asked her. It took her a moment for her to answer but she did in a calm voice.

"Just another village." Her answer was kind of cryptic but I decided not to pursue farther into the answer. If she wanted me to know the answer to that question she would eventually tell me, at least I hoped that was the case. I wasn't when I actually started to care about her history but it made me a little nervous. "What are you doing here anyway Naruto? Why are you looking through my memories?" I figured she was going to ask me that so I decided I might as well as answer her.

"I wanted to understand why you are the way that you are. I started to notice that you had a lot more anger so I wanted to know what pushed you over the edge. I understand now though. Over the years you have had looks after looks from people and you never knew why. You know why they were looking at you weird. I can feel the Nibi's anger flowing into you it's making you have turmoil in your body." I didn't know if she wanted to hear that but I thought it was important for her to know.

"You did that for me" she asked with confusion and tenderness in her voice. It was kind of a funny combo to hear but I knew she was still having conflict in her emotions and the things she did.

"Yugito you have to decide to do something for you or you will be controlled by the Nibi again. She has great power and natural instinct and she is not afraid to use either one. The Kyuubi took over me a few times before I finally figured out what I wanted. Knowing that let me ask you what you want most Yugito." I could tell that question hit her hard because she just stared at me for a second. I wasn't sure if she was thinking about it or if she was confused again.

I stared at her for a moment longer before I felt something push against my mind that was kicking me out of her mind. As I looked longer I figured out, it was her who was pushing against my mind. The Jinchuuriki Yugito Nii was trying to get into my mind and there was no way I was letting her do that. As I pushed back I felt this tremendous power which broke my concentration sending my mind spinning into oblivion.

Naruto's memories- Yugito's POV

I had succeeded in breaking Naruto's concentration sending my mind and his into his memories that he was hiding from me. It was a weird feeling to be looking at his memories when we were both looking at it. He wasn't next to me at the moment but I knew that somewhere he was looking at his memories. The surrounding area that I was looking at changed from a wall of black to something different.

I could see a house in front of me with a big yard all around it. The house looked pretty nice but I noticed something that kind of caught me off guard. I knew that I was in Naruto's memories but I wasn't ready to see the younger version of him. Coming out of the house was the young Naruto followed by an older man who I guessed was Seiji. I knew that Seiji was like his father figure so it was reasonable that they were in a house together. It was all starting to make sense to me until I saw a woman come out of the house beckoning both of them in the house.

Seiji's wife was the first thought that went through my head by why, would they have left her by herself then. It didn't make any sense to me to have left the mother figure of Naruto if there was no reason. As I was deep in my thoughts I heard a scream which I swear made my ears start to bleed. This sound was like the terrifying sound of blood, death, and despair. I figured that this was the answer to my question I was having. The reason that Seiji and Naruto had left was because Seiji's wife was now dead, something had killed her. Even on their watch the woman had died. As I stood there for a moment longer that thought kept going through my head. That whole scene must have driven him to madness to see her die knowing he couldn't do anything to help her.

The scenery changed again and this time I was in a forest with plenty of trees and shrubs. I looked around to see what I could notice but I couldn't see anything. I focused for another minute though before I saw the small red headed Naruto in a tree watching the fight from a far. I remember Naruto had talked about not being on par when Seiji and Karm had fought, so I figured that is why he was in the tree away from the fight. I turned back to Karm and Seiji and saw the weirdest, creepiest thing I have ever seen. Seiji's hair was beginning to turn to a red color which I thought was bazar but the color didn't stop. I noticed his hair getting progressively darker and finally it stopped when it was a dark blood red color. I saw his now oily black eyes look toward Naruto to make sure he was far enough away.

I kept trying to figure out what kind of jutsu could do this to somebody and the only thing I remember he told my grandpa and I was it was forbidden. He said he and Seiji had stolen the scroll back from whoever had taken it and then studied it before giving it back to Konoha.

I looked back at Naruto one more time just so I could try to see what he was thinking. I could see anger and regret in his face at the fight between the two men that he was watching. One with oily black eyes and blood red hair the other with a scar down his left eye from his forehead to his jaw. I knew he just had gotten the scar because I saw Seiji slash at him throwing him back a little ways. I continued to watch fight and continued to be surprised and shocked. The grace and elegance, which both men were showing, kept me on my toes as I watched the battle unravel.

Just as the final movements of the battle started the scenery faded to black before I saw Naruto standing next to me. This was the Naruto that was my age. I couldn't figure out why he was staring into the black abyss but he said something that broke me from my thoughts. "This was my memory of when I became the mix I am now" he said as he continued to stare at the darkness. It was kind of an eerie feeling to look at the pitch black darkness that was covering this whole scenery.

I wasn't sure what exactly I was looking at but I knew that Naruto knew exactly what it was. I saw his hands clench together as fists before I saw a few drops of blood trickle to the ground with a splattering sound. My body moved by itself and grabbed his hands before I ran my hands across his. At the motion my hands were making I could tell that he was starting to relax slightly. I could feel his tense body against mine but something happened which kind of surprised me. I saw red in my mind followed by some cold blooded eyes that shot toward me slamming me into the back of Naruto's mind.

As I struggled to stand and regain my senses I felt another pulse from whatever was pushing me slam me even farther. I went to react to whomever or whatever was doing this but I saw red eyes with black slits. These were the cold blooded Kyuubi eyes that were pushing me out of Naruto's mind. I tried to fight back by releasing my own Nibi power but I crashed into my own mind destroying any intimate connection that I had with Naruto's mind. The darkness that I saw made me wonder what really happened and as I faded away I thought of what I saw.

Normal POV

Yugito's eyes darted up to Naruto who was trying to look around. He had also been thrown out of his mind. Naruto knew what had happened but he wasn't sure why it had happened in the first place. He had been fighting against the Kyuubi the whole time but had lost the battle that he had. Yugito asked a question that kind of threw him from the mindset that he was in.

"Naruto what happened while we were in your memories. I saw the Kyuubi's eyes slam against me but when I tried to fight back I had no power. The Kyuubi's power, against my own, was overwhelming" she said. He decided that he better answer her before she started to make assumptions about what happened while they were in there. He was about to say something but she beat him to the punch. "Why were your hands bleeding in your mindscape?"

"Yugito I fought off the Kyuubi from completely obliterating your mind. When you kept invading my mind the Kyuubi was trying to force you out of it, but I kept him at bay. When you touched my hand you released the hold I had unleashing his anger on you. That was the reason that you got kicked out of my mind. I tightened my hands so much that it bled. You freaked out when you saw the blood and tried to pull me away."

"I did not freak out" she almost yelled back. "Naruto I have to ask why did the Kyuubi kick me out in the first place and why did he have so much power against me when I used my Nibi powers against him."

"When you forced yourself into my mind it was easier because you could root yourself into your own mind. You were stronger in your mind; the Kyuubi is stronger in my mind. The Kyuubi didn't want you to see what happened when I first became what I am. Yugito you need to know this though, because the Kyuubi tried to kill you. When he first took over my body what did he say to you."

"When the Kyuubi took over you last time he said that he would have no problem killing me because he wasn't you. He told me that you were intrigued by me so that is why we had a connection in the first place. You still didn't answer my question though Naruto what did the Kyuubi hide from me, what am I not supposed to know." Yugito gave him a kind of curious look but she began to wince when she felt the pain hit her like a ton of bricks. As she tried to grip the dirt she let out a loud scream of rage as the Nibi tried to rip through her body again. 'I will not let her take over my body again.' She yelled in her mind before she let out one louder scream of rage.

Her body crashed to the ground but Naruto already had a hold of her as he put her head in his lap. She could feel the pressure of his leg against her head and knew that he had a hold of her. It was a comforting feeling to know that someone was therefore you. She had no idea how long he would be there for her but he was there for her now.

"What happened with Seiji's wife Naruto" Yugito said softly. She still had her eyes closed as she waited for her answer. As she waited for the answer she could feel his body tense up to the question. She wasn't sure why he had to be so tense but then it hit here. Of course he was tense because he was experiencing the memory of Seiji's wife dying in front of their faces.

"We went back into the house just like she asked us too but that is where everything started to go wrong. She had called us in because there was food on the table. She started to walk outside because she forgot something but then a big wave of energy just hit her so hard. Her body smashed into the house and she just collapsed to the floor. Seiji and I tried to see who did this but no one was there. We were too far away to be able to do anything to help her. One moment his wife was there and the next she was crispy and burnt on the ground. That was a sad day that I will never forget. Emotions and moments like that are burned into your memory forever. There are some people who will tell you that they don't have emotions, and they have taught themselves how to get rid of them. That right there is bull shit because you can't get rid of that. I have seen sad things in my life but I have also seen love and understanding. Everything that I have been through makes me who I am. If one of those things doesn't happen then I am not the same as right now.

If my mother had never given me the Kyuubi I would be dead right now. If Seiji's wife was still alive we would be happy and at home. I never would have become who I am and I never would have come to Kumo. Most importantly I would not have become as strong as I have become now. I would not hold so much hate and anger in my soul. If I was at home with Seiji I would not have to balance my emotions of the Kyuubi and me. Having a twin headed soul is harder than it looks."

Yugito just stood there for a moment. She thought for a moment that she had just seen into Naruto and who he really was. Again she realized she was staring but it didn't matter to her this time. She looked into his green eyes that started to shift to red with black down the center. She knew right away who that was, but she didn't know why. She knew Naruto obviously knew what was happening too, she just didn't know if he deliberately let this happen.

"You really care for my host Naruto don't you Nibi container. I can see the look at him. I can also see the fear you hold though, and for good reason." the Kyuubi said obviously taking over Naruto.

"You unleashed your anger on me Kyuubi. You kicked me and Naruto out of his mind now why did you do that. To answer your question I really care for Naruto and it's not really any of your business. Naruto is his own person who should be rid of you" Yugito said calmly. She really felt like she was going to lose her temper to the Kyuubi but she held it in.

"You know what happens when Naruto is rid of me Yugito he dies. I am pretty sure that you don't want that to happen because of how you feel about it. It may not be that strong but it's obvious to anyone that it's there. The reason I kicked you out is some things are none of your concern. The black abyss you and Naruto both looked into was the memory that was hid from you."

"WHAT HAPPENED" she screamed. She was through with dealing with this Kyuubi. He had just said that some things were not her concern, but if dealt with Naruto than it was. That wasn't just her emotion talking either, that was directly from the Raikage.

"I TRIED TO KILL NARUTO YUGITO, IS THAT WHAT YOU WANTED TO KNOW. HE ALMOST DIED BECAUSE OF WHAT I DID WHEN HE FIRST BECAME WHAT HE IS. NARUTO NEW ALL OF THAT BUT HE KEPT IT FROM YOU SO YOU WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT HIM. HE CARES FOR YOU MORE THAN YOU KNOW AND HE CARES FOR YOUR FEELINGS. YOU MAKE HIM DIFFERENT THAN I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME."

"Don't you dare, make it sound like Naruto this is my fault you puffed up fox. I have seen his heart and it is pure at the bottom. You tried to kill Naruto and me so does that make you happy Kyuubi. You tailed beast's make life horrible because of what you and the monster inside me do." She was furious that they were having this conversation, but she wasn't ready for his next comment.

"You are easy to control for the Nibi because you are a monster Yugito. You have the monster qualities in you and so your battle to be good will never get easier. Naruto had people to raise him differently, but you are nothing." A few tears fell down her face before she grabbed Naruto's clothes and pulled him close.

"Listen up Kyuubi I am not a monster and your stupid tricks don't work on me. I know the truth about who I am, so your lies are not going to make a difference."

"You really think so Yugito. Naruto must have never told you about the time that he let me take control of him."

"No you took over him. He told you after you were done that you couldn't take over anymore."

"Naruto was a villain too Yugito. After I took control and killed people yes he did stop me from killing more that time. After the deaths of those people he couldn't handle the pain anymore and had me take over so he didn't have to feel pain." She paused for a second trying to process the information that she was getting. Naruto purposely had let the Kyuubi take over so he didn't have to deal with the pain of losing people that the beast inside of him had killed.

She didn't know what kind of pain he had to be feeling when it happened but she didn't think that it made him a bad person. She knew deep down that he was a good person and so was she. The two beasts inside them were the monsters that caused the problems and killed people, not the other way around.

"Kyuubi no matter what you say to me about Naruto it won't matter. I trust Naruto but I don't trust you one bit. Those kind of cheap tricks are not going to work on me Kyuubi so give up." She was starting to feel her own pain and anger with the situation. If what the Kyuubi had said was true it was going to be a big blow to both of their prides.

The Kyuubi didn't say anything as his eyes shifted back to Naruto's green eyes. Those were the eyes that she knew and the ones that she could trust. When it looked like Naruto finally had regained his consciousness she thought that he would say something to her about what happened. She knew that Naruto knew that the Kyuubi had taken over and so had just revealed details he wanted to keep secret from her. She didn't think that he didn't trust her, it was just his past was a big secret full of mysteries and confusion.

"Naruto why didn't you tell me what really happened. Why did you not tell me that you let the Kyuubi take control after he killed innocent people? You do trust me Naruto don't you" she asked confused now. Naruto let a low growl escape his lips. He wanted to be away from this situation. He didn't want to talk about trust with Yugito, but a part of him felt like he owed her an answer.

"Yugito what I didn't tell you was something that I didn't want you to know about. That part of my past was supposed to remain a secret that no one knew about. I let him take control because I was scared and discouraged. I had no idea how I was going to defeat Karm and regain whatever pride I still had. Every person I had met was dead. Every person who was my rock that kept me going buried in the hill side. My life was on the ropes Yugito; I didn't know what to do.

The Kyuubi didn't have emotions so I gave myself over so he could help me overcome the fear, hatred, and revenge that I was feeling. What I didn't know was that the Kyuubi still had rage from what happened to my mother. He carried his own hatred about what happened that day. My own anger had started to diminish but he was the one that brought it back up, he became my rock that day" he said.

Yugito just watched as he told his story. She could see that he was trying to entwine all of his emotions in the story so she could really understand what happened. Being a Jinchuuriki she figured she was probably the only person who could understand what he was going through. "Naruto" she said quietly. He didn't turn his attention to her but she knew that he was listening. "I understand that you were lost and you didn't want to feel that way anymore, but I feel like both of us have connected in a way that I have never felt with someone else."

Naruto continued to stare off into the distance as Yugito walked over close to where he was. She heard him say something under his breath but for a moment she wasn't sure she had heard him say anything at all.

Slowly she walked in front of him and leaned into his chest wrapping her arms around his waist. He was a little thrown back for her to be so open but he pulled her in close and kissed the top of her head. He brought his face close to her ear and whispered. 'Thank You'. Her body shivered at his cold breath that was so close to her. He happily smirked satisfied with the reaction that he got from her.

"Naruto" she said quietly. As she waited for him to respond she could feel his heartbeat while she was rested on his chest.

"Hmm" he finally responded.

"When the Kyuubi took over, he said he tried to kill you when you first became a mix."

"My body started to reject the full powers of the Kyuubi when we tried to mix. In order for me to still be alive the Kyuubi added some of his own power for my body in order for it not to reject it. I think the rejection happened because I was almost dead at birth. In both instances the Kyuubi saved my life and so somewhere along the line we had to agree.

As to the Kyuubi trying to kill you the only reason you are still alive is because of me." She stared at him for a moment as she tried to figure out what to do. Why had the Kyuubi even tried to kill her in the first place, and how had he saved her. "The Kyuubi didn't much like that you just dove into my mind so I had to protect you with my own power. The Kyuubi was only giving you a warning. If the Kyuubi's full power was unleashed no matter how much I tried to help both of us would have been gone. I owe him a lot, my life in fact."

Now she felt even worse because of everything that he had gone through in his life. Again she felt like all the pain she had experienced was nothing compared to the emotions and anger he had to feel as he watched everyone die. She didn't understand how someone could live through that but she figured the Kyuubi had plenty of rage in him to build back Naruto's anger.

"Naruto I finally understand what kind of things that you had to go through in your life. The truth is Naruto that I would have done the same thing that you did. I would have let the Nibi take over me because I couldn't handle the pain of knowing that I killed people. Innocent people would have died at my hand and that would have made me feel even worse than you could know." He laughed a gentle laugh which was kind of weird coming from an uptight person. To Yugito's ears it was a nice little ring but no one else would feel secure with a laugh like that. People would have thought that his laugh was sadistic and evil, but she knew he had broken through even just for a moment.

"Yugito you are more like me than you know. You are tough and I just realized how tough you really are." She thought he was going to say something else to her but her pain brought her to her knees. It was like the same pain that she had before, it tore through her body and she knew the Nibi was trying to take control again. Naruto got down to one knee and lifted her chin up with his right hand. He was trying to make her focus on just him. "Yugito she is trying to take over again. If you want to get rid of the Nibi, than, you can't let her win the struggle for your body."

He could see her fight a little harder for her body back. She let out a loud growl before her body collapsed to the ground. Naruto slowly turned her body over to see that she was completely out cold. He softly picked up her body bridal style to take her to her apartment. As he turned to leave he saw a boy that looked around his age staring at him. He had short black hair and had one katana on his back.

"Where are you taking her" the kid asked him. He had his hand on his katana, and he was about to draw it. Naruto was starting to realize who the person in front of him was, it was Hu.

"You must be Hu" Naruto said. Hu slowly pulled back but kept his eyes on both of them. "My name is Naruto and I was with Yugito. She collapsed because of pain. I was going to take her back to her apartment so she could rest." Hu drew his sword in a quick flash and charged toward Naruto. Naruto knowing where this was going to go vanished in red lightning with Yugito still in his arms.

"You hurt her you monster, and now I am going to kill you" Hu yelled. Naruto set Yugito on the ground a few feet away before he drew both of his katana's off his back. "I will never forgive you for what you did."

"Hu calm down, I didn't do anything to Yugito. I am the new team member for you and Yugito. She told me what happened when your other teammate died. I am here to take their place. As to Yugito she is out cold because of pain." Hu paid no attention to Naruto's excuses and rushed him again. Naruto who easily saw the attack blocked with both his katana's before he pushed Hu backwards. "Hu this is pointless, you can't beat me if that is your goal." Hu again didn't listen as he slashed at Naruto. Naruto quickly ducked before he kicked Hu in the leg successfully knocking him to the ground.

Hu kipped up and brought his sword around to Naruto's right side. Naruto again vanished in red lightning before he held his sword to Hu's neck. Hu was about to twirl around and attack Naruto again but he was tackled to the ground. When he whipped around to see who had attacked him he saw purplish eyes. The usually calm purplish eyes he loved to see were aggressive and full of rage.

Yugito grabbed Hu by his shirt and pulled him to a standing position. As a frustrated growl escaped her lips she kneed him hard in the groin area, before using her enhanced strength and tossing him. As Hu landed with a big thud he turned to see both of them standing near each other. He figured something happened with them but he wouldn't accept it. "LEAVE NARUTO ALONE" Yugito yelled as her eyes started to soften to the usual purplish. Hu picked his sword off the ground before he went through a few hand seals. With the jutsu he just had performed he tried attacking again.

Naruto could feel what Hu had just done and vanished as he drove his fist through Hu. He had to admit that felt pretty damn good. The clone vanished as the other Hu went for a now charging Naruto. As Hu went to slash again Yugito using her quick movements jumped in between Naruto and the sword. The force of Hu's attack sent her flying to the ground in a loud crash. Her body skidded a few feet before she noticed the large gash on her chest.

Please Review!

So I am trying to update all of my earlier chapters and fix any big mistakes that I made starting with this chapter. I cut a lot out of this chapter and added a lot and I'm happy how it turned out. I wanted it to flow better, and now I feel like it does.
