Narufan4ev: Hello! If you've read any of my other work and wondering why I deleted them it's simply because… none of them had real endings!! (nervous laughter)
Yuki: WHAT?!? You deleted my story!!? I was the star!!
Narufan4ev: Ya well deal! I'm ashamed with myself as it is!!
Naruto: Sweet this stories all about me!! And I'm a… keeper of the forest? What does that even mean?
Narufan4ev: Well, you are like the people who protect and take care of the forest!

Disclaimer: I own nothing except a computer, a key board, and Microsoft Word! So DON'T SUE ME!!!
It was a normal day in the forest of Konoha. Animals were frolicking, nests were being made, angry protestors yelling at a line of construction workers coming towards the forest with big heavy machinery. Yep, normal day. At least normal since three days ago when it was announced that half of the forest would be cut down to make room for the new mall's parking lot. Of course the Keepers of the Forest didn't like this one bit. For gosh sake they've lived their whole lives protecting this forest and by God they weren't going to give it up this easily!
"Get away from this forest you horrible people!" yelled a protestor which was encouraged with cheers.
"You kill this forest, you kill life!!" another person yelled followed by 'Ya's and 'Speak it's from the other people. The construction workers were scowling at them and yelling get out of the way but not one person moved.
"Listen, we're just trying to do our jobs, now MOVE!" the construction workers yelled. In response the there was more yelling and protests. This continued late in tonight until the construction workers had to leave and go home. This was followed with cheers from the protestors until one stepped out and walked in front of them with a serious expression on his face. He flipped his long red hair over his shoulders as his face broke out into a fox-ish grin and his red eyes gleamed with mischief.
"Great job today! We managed to drive them out for a third night in a row!" Kyuubi yelled cheerfully to the crowd who began cheering. Kyuubi cut them off with a raise of his hand. "However, we must not let our guard down! They will probably bring more tomorrow. We must stay strong! But tonight we celebrate!!"
After he finished the crowd broke off into their own little circles. As the crowd dispersed three people walked up to Kyuubi. Well, two walked and one flung himself at Kyuubi who caught him in a fierce hug which the other returned.
"Kyuubi!" the small blond boy squealed while clutching his brother.
"Naruto," Kyuubi said back with a small smile as he set the younger boy down and ruffled his hair. He turned to face the other two. "Status?"
A woman stepped forward. Two long pig tails with flowers braided in were resting on her shoulders. She was tall and wearing a simple dress with v-neck that sowed off her humongous…(cough) well you get the point. She began to speak, "I have gathered enough herbs for medication to last us years. Without this forest where would Konoha get all of its medication! I mean seriously!"
"I know!" the man next to her agreed. He turned back to Kyuubi, his brown hair swaying freely. He, out of habit, lightly scratched the scar on his nose as he began to speak. "We also gathered plenty of food. Enough to last us months to come!"
"Good work Tsunade, Iruka. These construction workers have no idea who they are dealing with," Kyuubi said with a smirk. "We've lived on these grounds for years. We know the land far better then any other random individual!"
The two left after a nod of their heads. After they had joined their own circles Kyuubi turned to Naruto with a smile that was reserved for him only.
"So did you help them too today?" Kyuubi asked kindly. Naruto just pouted.
"Ya but it was boring!!" Naruto said childishly. "I want to be out with the protesters like you!!"
"No way," Kyuubi said simply much to the annoyance of Naruto.
"Why not?!" Naruto yelled pouting, crossing his arms, and stomping his foot. "I'm 15 years old!"
"Well, ya act like a five-year-old," Kyuubi said with a smirk as he saw his brothers attempt at a glare. "My answer is still no. You'll get yourself hurt."
"I-I hate you!" Naruto yelled as he turned on his heel and ran off into the woods. The older boy just sighed and waved off the looks people were giving him. He headed back to his rather large (like a house) tent that he and Naruto shared ever since their parents died in a horrible accident.
"Gosh Naruto," Kyuubi sighed and sat down on his futon which was next to a small fire place. He sat there and waited for his foolish brother.
Narufan4ev: Well, there's the prologue!! Tell me if you liked it!
Kyuubi: God Naruto is so childish! I can't believe I have to deal with hime!
Naruto: Hey!!
Narufan4ev: Meh he won't stay like that forever. It's just 'cause ya baby him all the time!
Naruto: SEE!!
Narufan4ev: See it's called tough love! You gotta let him pick himself up! If he gets a broken leg you gotta let him feel the pain!
Naruto: Wait wha-?!?
Kyuubi: Oh I see! I'll try and use that sometime! Thanks!!
Narufan4ev: YAY!! We all learned something today! And guess what? I'm setting a date for chapter updates!!! The next chapter will be put up on February 2, 2008!! So keep an eye open!
