Chapter 1: The Meeting

"Through out the decades I have learned numerous things,

the one thing that stands out the most is that

no mater what people say or do others still fear the unknown."

Ryuu

Three figures walked along the dirt path heading towards the largest village in the heart of Fire Country, Konohagakure no Sato the village hidden within the leaves. The tallest among the three figures was male. Standing around the six foot one mark with spiky black hair that was just touching his shoulders and dark blue eyes which would make some people believe that they were black.

Not much else could be told about the man for he was wearing a cape that covered

him from the shoulders down to his ankles. The two persons following the first were clearly female by the way that there capes had distinct bumps where their breasts were located.

The woman on his right seemed to have hair that was as blue as the sky which she had done up in a long ponytail reaching nearly half the length of her body. Her eyes seemed to be the color of the deepest red imaginable something a person could get lost in forever.

The woman on the man's left also seemed to posses red eyes only hers were more in like with that of a blazing fire full of fury, and passion which only seemed to highlight her silver grey hair all the more.

The three walked through the double solid oak doors of the main gate in and out of the village only to attract the attention of the two guards on duty at the time. Kamizuki Izumo and Hagane Kotetsu.

"You three there state your business in Konoha" Izumo said.

The three people stopped and approached the two guards.

"We are here on business. We have come to seek and audience with your Hokage in order to set up possible trade routes that will benefit us as well as Konoha." The black haired man replied.

"Do people who come to do business usually dress in attire that makes them look conspicuous and a threat to the village" Kotetsu pointed out.

"Ha ha ha perhaps your right our attire does look a little out of the norm so what would you have us do so that we may enter the village" the man said in an amused tone.

" We shall call for a group of anbu to conduct a search once they clear you then you may enter the village" explained Izumo.

"That's fine by me but I suggest you call for a few female anbu to search my companions because I will not let some male feel them up" the man said in a slightly lower tone of voice.

The two guards nodded and signalled for a squad of anbu.

Just then five figures seemed to materialize out of thin air. Each member was wearing a different mask. An Itachi (Itachi), an Inu (Kakashi) , a Neko (Yugao), an Inoshishi (boar), and a Hebi (Anko).

"What seems to the problem here Kotetsu, Izumo?" questioned the weasel masked man.

"These three here wish to enter the village and speak with the hokage about business, however they seemed a bit suspicious so we flagged them down" Kotetsu replied.

"They have all agreed to be searched, and pending results will be allowed to proceed into the village" Izumo added.

"Very well we will proceed with a search. If you three will please remove your cloaks we shall begin" Inu jested.

The black haired man nodded and looked back at his companions.

"Rei, Jo if you will please" he asked.

The woman nodded and removed there cloaks. Rei was first she lifted her cloak up over her head pulling her long ponytail through.

All of the shinobi from Konoha were some what surprised to see such a woman. Rei was

approximately five foot eight with pale skin that seemed to highlight her deep red eyes and blue hair.

The best way to describe her was that she was the perfect hourglass figure. Her large

breasts tapered into a thin waist line and back out again to nice curvy hips. The woman seemed to have just the right amount of fat in just the right places not to much and not too little.

She was wearing a black kimono that covered her firm round c-cup breasts and reached down to the middle of her thighs with tight black lycra shorts underneath. Black open toed sandals wrapped up and around her ankles giving them strength and stability.

Itachi and Inu weren't fazed in the slightest by her beauty. Inoshishi on the other hand was leering at the woman. He stepped forward to begin the search. The black haired man stepped in front of him.

"I will only allow the female members of your squad to search my companions, I will not let some animal of a man to feel them up" he said.

Inoshishi looked over to Itachi and Inu who nodded. Inoshishi backed off even though he was a little peeved that he wasn't able to feel up the hot piece of ass in front of him.

Neko stepped forward and the black haired man stepped out of the way to allow her to search Rei.

"Stretch your arms above you head" she said. Rei complied.

Neko then walked around behind Rei and began to frisk her.

"State you name please" Neko questioned. "Rei" she replied "Your whole name" Neko asked again "That is my whole name its simply Rei" she responded.

Neko made her way down Rei's body even combing through her hair to make sure there were no hidden weapons.

"What's your reason for coming to Konoha?" Neko asked.

"We are simply here to conduct business with the hokage nothing more nothing less" Rei answer her question.

"Where do you come from?"

"We just came from Ame but as far as home is we are always traveling we have no permanent home" Rei replied with a hint of sadness.

Neko concluded her search and found nothing out of the ordinary on Rei. Neko nodded to Itachi and moved away.

Next up was Jo she removed her cloak showing the anbu another rare find hidden

under a cloak. Jo was the same height as Rei but a lot more tanned then her. She also seemed to have a more muscular frame. Her muscles were well defined but her body still maintained an air of feminine charm.

Her smaller B-cup breasts were hidden under a sleeveless shirt that went half way down her toned stomach. Jo also seemed to be wearing a tight pair of the same shorts Rei was wearing under her kimono only nothing covering them up. Her foot ware consisted of solid black boots that had a deep tread and looked to be capped with metal.

However what caught the anbu's attention was a tattoo on her left arm. The tattoo spanned from just below her elbow all the way up and looked like in continued across her shoulder under her shirt.

It was Hebi's turn to search.

"Alright do the same thing your little friend did over there" she said with a little harsher tone. Jo complied and did what she was asked.

The procedure was exactly the same as with Rei. Jo answered all the questions with similar answer to Rei that is until Hebi asked her about her tattoo.

"Well we're waiting where did you get such a tattoo" Hebi asked getting impatient about how long it was taking her to answer.

Jo looked over to the black haired man. The black haired man sighed "You might as well tell them the truth Jo-chan its not like there going hurt you for it" Jo nodded

"I got this Tattoo from my lover, when we made love for the first time he put this on my arm as a commemoration of our bonding" she explained. Hebi quickly finished the rest of the search and stepped away.

Inoshishi stepped up to the blacked haired man "Alright its your turn big guy" he said with a hint of haughtiness in his voice from being denied the ability to search the two dazzling

women.

"I wouldn't touch me if I were you, you run the risk of getting electrocuted by my body" he said in a serious tone.

"Tch yea right like someone could get electrocuted just by touching someone. Hurry up and take of you cloak so we can search you" Inoshishi said getting a little angry.

"And if I refuse?" the black haired man asked.

The other four anbu moved there hands ever so slightly towards their weapons in case it got ugly.

"Enough of this" Inoshishi said as he went to rip the cloak right off the man.

"AHHHHHHHH" Inoshishi screamed in pain as electricity coursed through and around his body before he fell to the ground.

Just then the other four anbu drew there weapons towards the black haired man

"Rei, Jo stand down. Its alright" the man said quickly before things escalated.

"What did you do to Inoshishi" Itachi asked in a cool calm voice.

"I told you didn't I. Anyone who touches my body will be electrocuted. Not to Worry though he isn't dead. With his size I would imagine he will be up and about in a day or so" the black haired man answered.

"Then if you will please slowly remove your cloak so that we may at least visually inspect you" Itachi asked

"As you wish" the man nodded. The four anbu backed up slightly to give the man some room.

The black haired man then slowly removed is cloak to show then what was underneath.

All four of anbu were on high alert again buy what they saw. The man was obviously well built. Besides his six foot one height his tanned body was covered in lean well defined muscles.

Everywhere someone would look it was as if someone had chiselled this man out of stone, from his washboard abs to lean solid arm muscles. His body just seemed to ooze confidence and sexuality.

Some of the women who were walking by caught glimpses of the man and blushed

furiously and turned away. Being a shinobi village a lot of shinobi kept in extremely good shape but this guy seemed to put a lot of them to shame.

Once they got by his physique his choice of clothes seemed rather odd. All he had on was a open black vest similar to that of a jounin. The ones with lots of pockets, and silky black pants that went all the way down over his feet covering them up.

The black haired man had six swords strapped to his body. Two at his waist one on each side, two on his back that he could reach over his shoulders for, and two strapped to his lower back that he could draw with each hand. This got the anbu nervous. The other two had no weapons of any kind seen or hidden. This man seemed to be armed to the teeth.

"Sir if you would please remove all your weaponry for everyone's safety" Itachi said.

"I'm afraid I cant do that anbu-san but its not for any of the reasons you may think" he replied.

"You will have to remove them in order to gain access in this village" Inu commented.

"Inform your Hokage someone wishes to speak to him and have him come here" the black haired man said in almost a demanding tone.

"I'm afraid we cant do that and if you don't hand over your weapons now we will have to detain you" Itachi said in his usual monotone voice.

Neko and Inu were moving closer to Rei and Jo to arrest them.

In a flash the black haired man had drawn two of his swords one at Inu's throat and the other on Neko's. Itachi and Hebi in and instant had their swords drawn at Rei and Jo's necks.

"Stand down now" Itachi said.

The blacked haired man suddenly had a tattoo appear on the back of his right hand and slowly crawled up his arm to his shoulder and across half his chest.

"Get the Hokage here now I'll talk to him and only him" the black haired man said showing signs of anger.

Itachi wanting to defuse this situation as quickly and effortlessly as possible looked towards the two gate guards.

"Go inform the Hokage of this and tell him to come here immediately".

The guards nodded and Izumo vanished in a puff of smoke to retrieve the hokage.

The Hokage was sitting in his office talking with a little blonde haired boy no more then seven years old.

"So Naruto how was your day at the academy?"

"It was sooo boring ji-chan, all we did was read from some boring old book" Naruto said swing his legs back and forth from the seat of his chair.

"ha ha ha well Naruto even the best ninjas have to read all the boring books" the Hokage said in an amused tone.

"I know I know it's just I wish they would liven up there lectures or something. I mean the teachers could do more then just stand in front of the class and read from some book" Naruto said in an annoyed tone.

"There there Naruto I'm sure things will become better"

"I sure hope so ji-chan" Naruto said looking all around the room.

"I have an idea that will make you happy. Just let me finish up this paperwork and I'll treat you to some ramen alright" the aged Hokage said.

"YAHOO RAMEN!" Naruto shouted happy to get his most favourite food in the whole world.

All of a sudden Izumo barged into the Hokage's office. "Hokage-sama! Your presence is required at the main gate" Izumo practically yelled out.

"Calm down Izumo, what seems to be the problem" The aged man asked.

Izumo then explained the whole situation as quickly as he could without leaving out any of the details.

"I see, well then I suppose I should look into this matter. Naruto you run along now and get some ramen, tell Teuchi and Ayame to send the bill to me alright, I'll join you if I can" The old man said smiling down upon the boy.

"Sure thing ji-chan. See you later" Naruto said bounding out the door for his free ramen meal.

"Alright lets go have a look at the situation shall we" the Hokage said. Izumo nodded and they both disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

When the hokage arrived at the scene it had only seemed to have worsened. There

were now an extra 5 anbu surrounding the area while the original five were still froze in their original spots.

Inu and Neko with blades at their throats. Itachi and Hebi with blades at Rei and Joe's throats and Inoshishi on the ground.

"Alright who are you and what do you want to talk with me about that warrants the possible execution of two of my ninja or perhaps yours" The Hokage asked in a calm manner so as not to provoke any actions.

"Hokage-san my name is Ryuu I have come to Konoha because I have important news that I will explain to you and you only" The black haired man now known as Ryuu said.

The hokage looked at Ryuu trying to judge his character but it was proving to be difficult.

"How am I to trust you Ryuu-san when you are holding two of my ninjas at the points of blades?" questioned the aged Hokage.

It was Ryuu's turn to size up the hokage at this moment. Ryuu smirked

"Hmm perhaps your right Hokage. In order to be trusted one should first show trust to them. Very well." Ryuu lowered his swords and resheathed them.

Inu and Neko moved away quickly. Ryuu then looked towards Sarutobi it was his move now. Sarutobi decided to trust this man for now.

"Lower your weapons" he commanded. They did so without questioning.

"If we perhaps could go someplace where no other ears can listen to us I'll tell you all you want to know" Ryuu suggested.

Sarutobi nodded "Yes we can talk in my office no one shall disturb us there. Follow me" The hokage turned on his heel and began to walk to the center of the village where the Hokage tower was located. Flanked Itachi, Inu, Neko, and Hebi while the other five looked after Inoshishi disappearing from sight.

Ryuu followed the group with Rei and Jo close behind.

People were watching with interest and awe. Not everyday you see the hokage and

anbu walking down the main road of the village especially not with someone following behind.

People were whispering to each other on who the strange man and two women were. Some said foreign dignitaries, other said rouge ninja. There was one thing that was known for sure was that these people were important to be escorted by the Hokage himself and four anbu. Whether it for good or bad reasons.

After walking through the village and up the tower the group now stood outside the doors of the hokage's office.

"I can handle it from here anbu you are dismissed, return to duty" Sarutobi said.

"But Hokage-sama what if there's a problem?" questioned Hebi.

"Don't worry if anything were to happen I think I should be able to handle it myself. I am the Hokage after all" Sarutobi said with a half smile. Hebi nodded and vanished with the others.

"Now Ryuu-san if you will please step into my office" The old man said showing Ryuu in.

"Thank you Hokage-san and just Ryuu is fine" Ryuu said.

Sarutobi walked into his office and walked around to his desk that overlooked the village. Sarutobi then let out a loud sigh releasing some of the tension that he had built up knowing this was going to be a long day.

"Now then Ryuu what is it that you wished to talk with me about?" the hokage questioned.

"Are you sure this room is one hundred percent secure?" Ryuu asked.

The hokage then did a few hand seals and a small hum was heard then vanished. "It is now" Sarutobi confirmed.

"What I am about to tell you Hokage-san never leaves this room. Am I clear?" Ryuu said looking at the seated man.

"I cannot guarantee anything it all depends on the nature of the information you are providing me" Sarutobi said in a serious tone.

"Do whatever is necessary then" Ryuu replied.

Ryuu then took off all the swords on his body as well as his vest. The Hokage was looking at him with slight curiosity. Was this man going to strip down nude in front of him? He didn't swing that way. Now maybe if it was his two companions that's a different story.

The hokage was brought out of his little perverted musings when he felt Ryuu's chakra rising. Sarutobi prepared for an attack just in case.

Ryuu continued to raise his level of chakra until a tattoo formed on his body. The same tattoo from when he engaged the anbu at the gate. That wasn't the end of it however, Ryuu's hair grew longer all the way down his back and turned silver white in colour. His eyes changed from the dark blue to silver. Sarutobi just sat there looking at the man transform before his eyes.

"This is what I wanted to show you Hokage-san" Ryuu said presenting himself.

"That's an interesting transformation you have there Ryuu, but what am I looking at?" questioned the old man.

Ha ha ha I guess you haven't that much experience dealing with our kind after all" Ryuu

said.

"Your kind?" asked the confused Hokage.

"Jin-chu-ur-i-ki" Ryuu said.

Sarutobi's eyes widened with that word. "You mean to tell me that you have a demon sealed inside of you?" Sarutobi asked.

"But of course Hokage-san what do you think this tattoo is. This is the seal of the demon I carry with me always" Ryuu said smirking.

He knew that he had surprised the Hokage with that bit of information. Sarutobi tried to keep his composer with this new information. There were so many questioned to be asked.

"Well I guess my first question is who are you really?" Sarutobi asked.

"I told you before Hokage-san my name is Ryuu. What you see is what you get" Ryuu replied.

"I suppose my next question is which of the tailed beasts do you have sealed inside you" the old man asked.

"I don't not contain one of the nine tailed beasts that you know of. I posses a demon that was before the tailed demons. It has no name yet has power on the scale of the strongest bijuu." he casually answered.

"So your saying there are other demons and others may be in a similar position to yourself?" Sarutobi asked looking at Ryuu.

"Well I only know of five including myself those are the only ones outside of the nine tailed beasts that posses any power" Ryuu responded.

"Alright, I don't suppose the lovely ladies behind you are two out of the four others you mentioned" Sarutobi said looking at Rei and Jo.

Ryuu let out a little chuckle. "No Hokage-san these two are my loyal companions from a different time. I have no clue as to where the other four are it has been a long time since I have seen them"

Sarutobi looked the man up and down. He would of thought the man to be at the oldest only thirty, yet Ryuu seemed to talk like he was far older then that.

"Just how old are you Ryuu?" the Hokage asked curiously.

"Hmmm I'm not sure myself Hokage-san I stopped counting my age after fifty, that was before your Shodai's time so I guess you could put my age at one hundred plus" Ryuu said with a cheeky grin.

Sarutobi could feel a headache coming on from all this seemingly impossible information.

"So am I to assume that Rei and Jo are also over one hundred years old"

"Possibly, I did not meat them until later however they are both older then you for sure even though they only look to be in their twenties" Ryuu responded.

"I will assume you posses these powers from the demon inside of you and some how managed to transfer them over to others at your will. What other powers have you obtained from your tenant?" The Hokage questioned.

"Well I'm a walking talking bolt of lightning in a sense" Ryuu said.

The hokage raised an eyebrow at him. "You seen what happened to the anbu. When someone touches me that does not posses a specific seal that I have created they will get electrocuted. Nothing too serious to a person who is in fair shape but a child or elderly person might end up dieing." Ryuu explained.

"Can't you just turn it off?"

"If I only could Hokage-san the electrical output is at a minimum now if I were to fight it would only get higher, that's why I have these two with me. Rei and Jo run interference so as nobody gets hurt as a result from merely brushing up against me" Ryuu said in a sadder tone.

"But on the up side I also have a rapid regenerative abilities. Go ahead throw a kunai at my chest" Ryuu said sticking out his chest as a potential target

"I will take your word for it Ryuu." The Hokage said opting to pass throwing a kunai at the man.

"Well I suppose that gives me a little on the background of who you are, but the question

still remains what are you doing in Konoha and at a time like this?" Sarutobi questioned.

Ryuu looked straight into the eyes of the aged man "I have come to train the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune" Sarutobi didn't even flinch.

"I'm afraid your mistaken the Kyuubi was defeated seven years ago by the fourth Hokage."

"Don't try to fool me Hokage-san I know the Kyuubi is sealed away in someone in this village. I can feel the presence of a demon sealed away in a being and the strength of the demon tells me it is fairly strong. Since only the Kyuubi has ever been reported inside the fire countries borders it would be safe to assume it's the Kyuubi" Ryuu said.

"What would you do if this supposed Jinchuuriki does exist in this village?. You say you simply want to train it, but I have to consider you might want to kill it or even possibly kidnap it to another village to use against Konoha" The Hokage said weighing the options carefully.

"Your concern is warranted Hokage-san, however I know better then most the pain it is to be a Jinchuuriki. Born into a life of hate and hardship usually having to survive on their own. That's no life Hokage. I have done my best to help a few others over the years. The Jinchuuriki here would only be seven years old. A hard life for someone all alone.

"You sound as if that if the Jinchuuriki did exist it would have no family" Sarutobi said.

"I know from experience any family they may have had would have been killed by others or simply abandoned their child thinking they were a demon. Now are you going to allow me to look after him or her or keep on playing this game of a Jinchuuriki not existing in Konoha?" Ryuu said in serious tone.

The old Hokage closed his eyes. Sarutobi knew all too well of the Jinchuuriki of

Konoha. Uzumaki Naruto. The boy was so hated in the village and the blonde had no idea why that was. Both his parents had passed on and was all alone in the world. As the Hokage he knew all to well the dangers that Naruto faced everyday, and could do very little in his power to look after him properly.

Ryuu seemed like the real deal and it would benefit Naruto greatly to have a few more friends in the world. The Hokage had made his decision. Sarutobi snapped open his eyes and looked at Ryuu.

"Ryuu I have decided to allow you to meet the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune. His name is Uzumaki Naruto a seven year old boy filled with energy to the brim. I do have a few conditions however"

"Name them Hokage-san."

"Fist I want you to get to know Naruto and him to know the three of you. Don't simply force yourself onto him and tell him that your training is the right way or anything like that."

"Understandable, and don't worry about the three of us forcing anything on the boy. It will be one hundred percent his decision on whether he accepts us or not, I will respect his opinion and never do anything to undermine him" Ryuu said.

"Secondly, you will most likely need to meet with our council and find a place for you to stay. I could provide the latter to you shortly." Sarutobi said.

"Don't worry about a place Hokage-san I'm sure we can find some place suitable as for the council do whatever you must. Is there anything else hokage-san?" Ryuu asked.

"I don't need to tell you that this is strictly classified so don't tell anyone about this not even Naruto. When you want to find the boy the easiest place to find him is to go to a ramen stand called Ichiraku's Ramen. Naruto eats there all the time." The Hokage said.

Ryuu nodded and transformed back to his normal black hair and blue eyes.

Ryuu grabbed his equipment and began to walk out the door.

The hokage turned to look out the window and sighed. He was hoping that he had done the right thing in telling a stranger all about Naruto.

Ryuu, Rei, and Jo made there way out of the tower and walked along the main road. By this time it was already getting dark. The talk with the Hokage had taken up quite a bit of time.

Once again people were staring at them. Ryuu of course stood out among the female populace while Rei and Joe stood out among the males.

"Ryuu-sama what shall we do now?" Rei questioned

"Well I'm a little hungry, so I imagine the two of you are hungry as well so how about some ramen" Ryuu suggested. Both women nodded and followed the man.

It didn't take long at all for Ryuu to sniff out a ramen stand, and what a coincidence it was Ichiraku's Ramen.

Ryuu smirked and walked towards the stand. He pushed back the flaps and sat down on a

stool next to a blonde haired little boy. Rei and Jo sat in the empty stools to Ryuu's left. A brown haired girl in her teens greeted them.

"Welcome to Ichiraku's ramen my name is Ayame how may I help you" she said with a smile.

"I would like some miso pork ramen and a glass of water please beautiful" Ryuu said.

"Beef for me please" Rei said.

"I'll take a shrimp ramen with all the toppings" Jo blurted out.

Ayame blushed a little at the beautiful comment made by the fairly handsome man.

"Your orders will be done shortly" Ayame spoke then disappeared into the back.

Ayame soon returned with all threes meals and they began to eat. Ayame then began

talking to the blonde haired boy.

"So Naruto how are you coming along at the academy so far?" the waitress asked.

"It's going great Ayame-neechan. The old man got me a set of practice kunai and shuriken for my birthday last year to use in the academy there so cool" Naruto said with enthusiasm.

"Excuse me beautiful, may I have another bowl" Ryuu interrupted holding up his bowl.

"Certainly" Ayame said smiling at the black haired man "Me too Ayame" Naruto yelled holding out his bowl. Ayame looked at Naruto.

"Naruto your already at your ten bowl limit. I'm afraid that's all you can get" she said looking a little sad.

"Aww but I'm still hungry Ayame-neechan" Naruto complained.

Ryuu decided to interrupt again "If money is the problem I'll pay for the boys meal so let him fill his little tummy."

"Eh really thanks mister. You heard the man Ayame keep bringing me ramen until I cant walk no more" Naruto said putting on a goofy grin.

Ayame looked at the stranger "Excuse me sir, are you really sure you want to buy this

boys meal he can eat quite a lot of ramen" Ayame said a little concerned for the man's wallet

"Do not worry my dear I will be able to handle the bill no matter how much he eats, and while you keep bringing him ramen you might want to do the same for me I have quite the appetite tonight." Ryuu said giving a little smirk towards her.

"Hai, right away" Ayame said and shuffled to the back once again.

"I can't thank you enough mister no one has every treat me to an all you can eat ramen meal before" Naruto said with a bright smile.

"No problem gaki, my name is Ryuu, these here are my companions Rei and Jo" Ryuu said pointing to each woman while they nodded at their name being called.

"I'm Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto" He said puffing out his chest.

Ayame brought both Ryuu and Naruto three bowls of ramen to get started. "Hope you enjoy"

Ayame said.

"You bet Ayame-neechan. The old man makes the best ramen in the entire world,

no the universe" Naruto said with enthusiasm.

"I heard that Naruto" and old man from the kitchen section yelled out. Both the males dug into there food with gusto.

"So Naruto I over heard your going to an academy. What sort of academy is it?" Ryuu questioned.

Naruto looked over to Ryuu from his bowl and slurped up some noodles. "The ninja academy of course, I'm going to become the Hokage one day and surpass even ji-chan and the fourth Hokage"

"Sounds like a lot of work" Ryuu said "It is. A lot of the kids in my class come from the different clans around the village so they have had there parents teaching them things even before they went to the academy" Naruto said a little sad.

"Well what about your parents didn't they help teach you anything?" Ryuu asked.

Naruto looked at the black haired man and then lowered his head. "I don't have any parents they died when I was born I have been by myself since then." Naruto said.

"I'm sorry I didn't know" Ryuu said quietly.

Naruto shook his head "Its alright I get by alright by myself" Naruto said putting on his smile.

Ryuu nodded and continued with there meals. Ayame could not believe her eyes. She always thought that Naruto was some sort of ramen maniac for consuming the amount of ramen he did all the time, but to find two such people was simple a one in a million chance maybe more.

After Rei and Jo ate a second bowl each they stood up and waited outside to allow other customers to use the stools, but Ryuu kept eating matching Naruto bowl for bowl at this point.

Finally they both were satisfied after twenty-one bowls of ramen each. Ayame handed the bill to Ryuu and he just laughed. "Ha ha ha you guys are charging way less then what you should for such great ramen. I have been to places that charge double this and the meals weren't even half as good" Ryuu commented.

"I flattered you like my cooking so much your welcome to come back here anytime Ryuu-san" and old man said coming from the back.

"I certainly will….."

"Teuchi my name is Teuchi" the ramen maker said.

"You can call me Ryuu Teuchi-san" Ryuu said "Only if you call me Teuchi" he said "Deal" Ryuu said smirking. "Now for this bill" Ryuu said reaching into his vest pocket.

Ryuu then proceeded to pull put a large wad of bills. Ryuu threw down enough money to cover triple the cost of the meal. "Keep the change" He said.

Ayame and Teuchi looked down at the cash and couldn't believe it. "Ryuu we cant keep this amount of money" Ayame said.

"Why not?" Ryuu asked

"Well its way too much its triple what the bill was" Teuchi commented.

"Consider it a tip for excellent service and the continuation of this fine establishment" Ryuu said smiling at the owners.

"Hai. Thank you so much" Ayame said as her and Teuchi bowed to the man.

"Don't mention it" Ryuu said walking out of the stand. Naruto right behind him.

"See you Ayame-neechan, old man".

Naruto headed down the road towards his little apartment when he heard Ryuu shout out towards him.

"Hey Naruto do you want to hang out some more"

Naruto looked back at the trio wondering why they were following him. He had seen people like this before they would be all nice and friendly with him to only hurt him worst later. He just couldn't help himself though. He had very few friends only the third hokage, Ayame and Teuchi. Naruto ran up to them and began to talk.

"It's getting late you guys are welcome to come over to my place and hang out there" Naruto said hoping they might come over.

"We would love to Naruto, right ladies"

"Hai" "Hai Ryuu-sama" Rei and Jo answered.

"Then its settled Naruto lead the way." Ryuu said with enthusiasm.

Naruto was really excited now. Nobody but the old man had every come visit him at his apartment. Although he still had his doubts whether they were truly friend or foe.

Naruto led the three to his small single room apartment located just a few roads over from the ramen stand. Nobody talked on the walk back to Naruto's apartment, instead just enjoying the cool air the evening brought upon them.

"Well this is it" Naruto said looking up at the building full of apartments.

Naruto began the walk up the stairs and Ryuu and the girls followed him. Naruto was situated on the fourth floor at the far end.

Ryuu noticed that the section of the building where Naruto was looked a lot rougher and run down then the rest of the building. He was brought out of thought when he heard Naruto's keys jingling.

Naruto unlocked his door and stepped in turned on a light. Rei and Jo were first to enter. Ryuu stood at the door and gave the surrounding area a glance and walked in closing the door.

Naruto was fumbling around clearing up seats for his house guests. Ramen containers and other old pieces of garbage were scattered around the apartment making it a little smelly and sickening.

Rei and Jo held their hand up to the mouth and nose in an attempt to try and not breath in anything in the blonds home.

"Naruto don't worry so much about cleaning right now just relax and have a seat yourself" Ryuu said.

"But what about you guys you need someplace to sit down" Naruto prompted.

"We will be fine right here" Ryuu replied and plopped down on the floor Indian style. Rei and Jo simple walked over to him and each sat/straddled on of his legs, throwing their arms around him.

"See Naruto no problem here" Ryuu said with a smirk.

Naruto nodded his head looking at the two women, and noticing certain things about each of them.

"What are you looking at" Jo said catching Naruto eyeing her up.

"I….uh…..um…..nothing" Naruto stuttered trying to give a response.

"Now now Jo-chan be nice to Naruto. He invited us over to his place at least we can be gracious guests." Ryuu said.

"Naruto-kun mind if I borrow your kitchen for awhile" Rei asked.

"Uh sure I guess. Sorry about the mess I don't usually have people come over to visit so I don't clean the place too often" Naruto said a little embarrassed.

"That's not a problem Naruto although it may not look like it Rei-chan here is dirt's worst enemy. When we stay in a town or village its Rei's job to do the cooking and cleaning at where ever we stay. She will have your apartment cleaned up in no time. Right Rei-chan?" Ryuu asked looking at her

"Hai Ryuu-sama" Rei said bowing.

Rei then got up off of Ryuu's lap and went towards the kitchen.

"You know you really don't have to clean up my place I live alone so its alright" Naruto

said in a sad tone.

"What happened to your parents Naruto?" Ryuu asked.

"Jiji said that my parents were ninjas and they died during the attack with the Kyubii. I have been on my own since then" Naruto explained.

"Must have been hard on you all this time" Ryuu said attempting to console the boy.

"It's alright I never knew them. I haven't even seen a picture of them." Naruto said.

Just then Rei walked back towards where the group was sitting carrying a tray with

cups of tea.

"I hope you don't mind Naruto I borrowed your stove to make some tea." Rei said

smiling at the boy.

"Tea? Where did you get the tea from I don't keep any in the apartment." Naruto asked.

"Ryuu-sama likes different types so I always carry different tea leaves on me just in case" Rei replied.

Naruto wondered where she kept it with such few clothes on.

Rei set the tray down on the table and everyone grabbed a cup. Naruto looked hesitantly at the cup wondering if it was poisoned. The other three were already sipping the hot liquid.

Jo looked over to Naruto seeing him just staring into his full cup.

"What's the matter don't you like tea?" She questioned.

"No it not that I like tea just fine, its just that…" Naruto trailed off.

"Ah I think I know what the problem is" Ryuu said.

Ryuu then whispered into Jo's ear and she nodded. She sat up and moved over towards Naruto.

"Naruto let me see your cup" Jo said holding out her hand.

"Yea, sure" Naruto said a little confused.

Jo brought the cup up to her lips and took a sip of the liquid and handed it back to Naruto.

"There you go squirt. Better now?" she asked.

Naruto was speechless.

"I figured you were sceptical on people you barely met before serving you tea. So I asked Jo-chan to take a sip of your drink to prove we are not trying to poison you or anything" Ryuu explained. Naruto had a small smile on his lips.

"Now that all that's settled why don't you give Rei's tea a taste." Ryuu said.

Naruto nodded his head and drank down the whole cup. "This is great, I haven't tasted any tea as good as this before" Naruto praised.

"Well thank you Naruto, I always try to keep fresh tea leaves with me to maximize the flavour" She said.

Everyone drank there tea in silence from then on. Once everyone was finished Rei gathered up the cups and brought them into the kitchen. Finally Ryuu spoke up again.

"Naruto I know this is kind of sudden but I was wondering if we could stay here with you while we are in the village" The man asked.

Naruto was really surprised, shocked was a better word. These people who he just met today wanted to stay at his place. He didn't understand this. His apartment wasn't the greatest. Hell it wasn't even average, and where were they going to sleep? The bed was barely big enough for him to sleep in.

"Why" the only thing to escape his lips was that one word. "What did you say Naruto?" Ryuu asked.

"Why do want to stay here?" Naruto asked again. There was a brief silence between everyone in the room.

Finally Ryuu spoke up. "Naruto the information I'm about to tell you I trust with you to not spread around to other people alright" Naruto nodded

"Alright, I have a condition Naruto. It's a condition that makes it so that I cant touch anyone around me. I know you have seen me touch Rei-chan and Jo-chan here but there a special case that I don't want to go into right now. I grew up with out a mother and father just like you are right now. My whole life I wasn't able to play with the other children because they would get hurt. All the parents told them that I was a monster and should stay away from me. I talked to the hokage today, and know some what of your situation. You seem to be very similar to me and I want to give you the support that I never had." Ryuu explained to the boy.

Naruto was again speechless. He was wondering what to do in a situation like this. A man that has been treated like him and then wanting to help him out.

"How am I supposed to trust you? If what you said is true then you know that a lot of

people have tried many things to hurt me in different ways" Naruto said.

"I know that you have no reason to trust us Naruto, but we really do wish to lend our support to you. All I can give to you is my word." Ryuu said then bowing to the little boy.

Naruto was unsure, but he really believed he could trust them. If they really wanted to hurt or even kill him they had several opportunities to do so already.

"I guess you can stay here but where is everyone going to sleep my bed is barley big enough for me to sleep in" Naruto sad scratching his cheek.

"That's alright Naruto we can manage on the floor." Ryuu said.

The evening went by fast for the group as they talked about various everyday things.

"Well this has a fun evening but I should be getting to sleep I have to be at the academy tomorrow." Naruto said letting out a yawn.

Naruto went over to the bathroom and closed the door.

"Rei-chan, Jo-chan you two can rest up tonight I'm going to keep watch tonight to make sure no one disturbs us" Ryuu said.

The two women nodded and stood up stretching out the kinks in their muscles. Naruto swung open the door of the bathroom and walked into the room wearing his pyjamas and night cap.

"Well I'm off to sleep. Goodnight all" Naruto said yawning again. "Good night Naruto" Ryuu answered.

Naruto walked into his room and crawled under the covers. "Well I guess I'm off to work then" Ryuu chuckled

He brought Rei and Jo in close and gave them both a soft kiss on the lips and left.

"Well Jo-chan I guess we better get some rest as well" Rei said softly. "Hai" Jo nodded. They both headed towards Naruto's room.

Outside Naruto's apartment Ryuu was sitting down Indian style on the roof. To anyone that could see the roof they would simple see a shadow illuminated but the moon. On closer inspection Ryuu was simply sitting with his eyes closed almost as if he was sleeping.

"Come on out Hebi-san I know your there" Ryuu said in a monotone voice. There was no sound or signal of any kind to confirm a response.

"Hebi-san you might as well come out since were both doing the same job" Ryuu said again.

Still no one answered. "Alright Hebi-san you leave me no choice" Ryuu sighed.

Ryuu built up a little energy around himself and fired a small bolt of lighting to his left. Hebi jumped out of the way to avoid the hit revealing herself in the process.

"Hey what the hell do you think your doing?" Hebi said in an angry tone.

"Glad you decided to respond this time Hebi-san I was beginning to feel a bit crazy talking to myself" Ryuu said opening his eyes showing off their silver colour.

"I'm supposed to stay hidden in the shadows and strike with surprise" Hebi answered in an annoyed tone.

"Like I said before Hebi-san we are both doing the same job so no need to get so upset" Ryuu said in a lazy tone.

"I don't know what your talking about I am simply patrolling" Hebi played it off.

"That's why you have been following Naruto since we left the ramen stand and have been sitting out here this whole time" Ryuu said.

Hebi didn't say anything for several moments trying to come up with a reasonable excuse but she couldn't.

"Alright fine that's what I'm doing. I was assigned to guard Naruto in case someone decided to attack the boy in his sleep" Hebi said defeated knowing she was caught.

"Ha ha ha no need to feel so down Hebi-san your doing a fine job, however even an ant

couldn't slip past the detection area I have set up."

"So you're a Ninja then?" Questioned Hebi.

"Hmmmm I wouldn't say ninja per say but lets just drop that subject for now you will find out in a few days who and what I really am." Ryuu said shrugging it off

"Fine, but what's your intention with the boy. If I find out you hurt him I swear I'll" she said but was cut off

"You will what? Hebi-san. In case you have forgotten I'm also here to help the boy. The only reason I called you out in the open is so that we could have a friendly chat about Naruto" Ryuu said getting defensive.

"Well what do you want to talk about concerning him?" Hebi questioned.

"Nothing in particular I just wanted to hear other peoples opinions of him" Ryuu said.

"What's there to tell the blonde brat has a lot of energy even more so then the average child his age. He takes constant beatings for reasons that are unknown. I don't understand how he can't hate the villagers but he doesn't. He is a lot stronger then a lot of us for the kind of crap he has to deal with on a daily basis." Hebi said her voice filled with venom.

" I see, What about the academy? How is he doing in that?" Ryuu questioned.

"I'm not to sure about that. Hokage-sama only asks us to guard him at night in case they try to attack Naruto when he is asleep. During the day no one is stupid enough to try and hurt him in broad daylight. I imagine they try and impede his progress at every turn though."

"Hmph typical. Same any place I go" Ryuu muttered.

"What was that?" hebi asked missing what Ryuu said.

"Never mind just thinking back. Still its pathetic that the villagers and even some of this villages ninja try and hurt the boy." Ryuu exclaimed.

"He's a good kid isn't he" Ryuu said looking off in the distance.

Hebi paused for a moment then spoke up "Yea he is. It's not right that people treat him the way they do"

"Because of the Kyuubi" Ryuu said.

"How did you?" Hebi said staring at the man.

Ryuu started to chuckle. "It's not like it's a grand secret in Konoha anymore not after all the people started to call him monster and demon." He said.

Hebi accepted that answer. "Why don't you sit down and relax, between us out here and Rei and Jo inside nobody is going to get in" Ryuu said patting the spot next to him.

"Thank you but no I'm on duty and as such I must remain alert at all times" Hebi replied.

"Suit yourself" Ryuu said in a defeated sigh.

Ryuu went make into his meditating position with his eyes closed. The night was quiet. Hebi kept looking towards Ryuu and wondering what he was doing. She knew that people meditated for various reasons, but it just seemed so weird standing next to someone when they seem to be dead.

"Hey, how far out can you sense?" Hebi curiously asked.

"Depends" Ryuu answered.

"Depends on what?" Hebi asked again.

"Depends on how big the object I'm sensing for is, how fare out I actually want to send the field and if there is anything obstructing the field. Right now I can sense everything within one hundred fifty yards from the size of an ant to the size of a three hundred pound person" Ryuu explained.

Hebi was impressed but at the same time cautious. This person was obviously quite powerful if he could do what he says he is doing. She didn't know his true intentions but obviously the Hokage accepted them after the little incident at the gate.

"That's quite a trick you have there" Hebi said

Back inside Naruto was tossing and turning. He woke up with the sudden urge to go to

the bathroom. Drinking that tea later in the evening had forced his bladder to throw off his sleep.

The boy got up off his bed not bothering to turn on his light. Naruto didn't get more then two steps and he tripped over an object landing in a softer object. Naruto never remembered owning such a soft object. He brought his hands up to feel what his face landed in getting a soft moan in response.

"What do you think your doing you little brat" a female voice said from behind him.

Naruto jumped up immediately and looked around. The light suddenly flicked on to revile Jo and Rei laying on the floor next to his bed. It suddenly clicked into Naruto's mind what he tripped over and fell into, or more like who.

Naruto looked down to see Rei smiling up at him. Naruto jumped back to his bed.

"I'm sorry I wasn't expecting you to be sleeping in here please don't do anything it was an accident" Naruto said bowing down.

"It alright Naruto you did nothing wrong, it surprised all of us." Rei said in a gentle voice.

"Why were you getting up in the first place?" Jo questioned

"Ah, well I needed to go to the bathroom" Naruto said scratching his cheek. With that he took of towards the bathroom to do his business.

"The kid got a good feel on that one" Jo said looking down towards Rei. Rei chuckled a bit

"Now now Jo-chan he's only seven years old women are probably the furthest thing from his mind right now"

"Hmph coming from the woman who moaned from just that little touch" Jo countered.

Rei had the decency to blush slightly.

Naruto returned from the bathroom and looked at the two women. He really didn't notice until now just how pretty they were, a lot prettier then the women he saw in the shops and on the streets of the village.

"Naruto are you all right?" Rei asked the boy. Naruto snapped out of his daydreaming.

"Yea I'm fine" he replied.

Naruto then crawled back into his small bed.

"Try and remember that we are sleeping down here next time" Jo said.

"Hai I'll remember from now on" Naruto said and pulled the covers over top of him thinking about the women in his room.

Naruto woke up the next morning feeling better then he had in a long time. He looked down on the floor and seen that Rei and Jo were no longer there. Figuring that there were already up he got dressed and ready for a day at the academy.

"Morning Naruto" Ryuu said giving him a wave.

Ryuu had changed his attire from the previous day. He now wore a long black trench coat that almost touched the ground. He seemed to have a large scroll easily bigger then Naruto was. Underneath he was wearing his black vest once again along with his black pants and black sandals.

"Good morning Naruto" Rei said smiling. Jo just nodded towards the blonde.

"Good morning everyone" Naruto greeted them.

"Breakfast is all ready Naruto help yourself" Rei said.

"Breakfast?" Naruto questioned.

"Yea you know breakfast, something you eat in the morning to give you energy for the start of your day."

Naruto was surprised no one had ever cooked him breakfast before. He usually just had a cup of ramen and was off. Naruto sat down at his little kitchen table and saw a huge meal. Naruto seen a big bowl of rice, grilled salmon, a bowl of miso soup and side dishes consisting of pickled radish and natto. Naruto looked around and only saw dishes for himself.

"What about the three of you aren't you going to eat?" Naruto asked looking at the three of them.

"Don't worry Naruto we have been up and have already eaten, where do you think the food came from" Ryuu said smiling.

"You better hurry and eat up Naruto or you will be late for the academy" Rei pointed out.

"Hai, itadakimasu" He said and started digging into the great breakfast before him.

"Naruto how come you don't have any supplies for the academy?" Rei asked.

Naruto stopped eating for a second and lowered his head. "I can't afford the supplies. Everytime I got to buy any the store owners always give me a price way to high, then if I did bring that much they just make the price even higher." Naruto said in a sad tone.

"What about the Hokage surely he gives you a few supplies every now and then right?" Jo asked.

"Sometimes Jiji buys me stuff but it usually gets stolen or confiscated by the teachers." Naruto answered still looking down at his feet.

Jo began to shake as she bit her bottom lip to stop from cursing and yelling out. Ryuu seen this and moved behind her putting his hands on her shoulders.

"Easy Jo-chan" he said in a calming tone. Ryuu moved over to the table and grabbed a small pencil and ripped off a piece of paper from an old paper bag.

"Naruto I want you to tell me everything that you need for school alright. We will go pick it up for you that way nobody will over charge us and you won't get left behind in your classes" Ryuu gently told the boy.

Naruto looked at the black haired man like he was out of his mind. "Don't give me that look Naruto we simple want to repay your kindness for letting us stay here for awhile." Ryuu casually said.

"Why are you doing all of this for me?" Naruto asked. "Doing all of what Naruto?" Rei questioned.

"This, paying for my ramen, cleaning my apartment, making a great breakfast, and now offering to buy my school supplies" Naruto said his voice trembling a bit.

Ryuu approached him and bent down on one knee next to the boy. "Naruto there are a lot of things that I haven't told you about myself, Rei, and Jo. I also know you really have no reason to trust us, but I'm asking you to. I'm asking you Uzumaki Naruto to trust us in that what ever we may do it is to help you in every way shape and form and be patient enough with us to tell you everything at our own pace" Ryuu said staring right into the bright blue eyes of the boy.

Naruto just sat there staring into the older mans darker blue eyes. "Hai, I understand. I'm sorry for not believing in you." Naruto said smiling.

Ryuu smiled and stood up. "That's a good boy now hurry up and eat or your going to be late to the academy" He said.

After Naruto was finished his meal he headed out to the academy. Ryuu, Rei and Jo accompanied him along the way. Besides his little outburst at the beginning of breakfast Naruto was having a really good day. He had great sleep , an awesome breakfast and now was on his way to the academy with a few people who were fast becoming special people to him. He still wondered why these three people took such an interest in him. All the people he knew were always so mean. Not that he was complaining or any thing it just seemed out of the ordinary. He figured that it was one of the things that Ryuu wasn't telling him.

"Hey Ryuu you will tell me about everything your keeping secret from me at some point? Naruto asked getting a bit curious.

Ryuu looked down at the blonde boy and smiled again. "Of course I will Naruto at the right time and place little by little I will tell you everything you just have too be patient alright" Ryuu said.

Naruto nodded his head seeming pleased with the answer. When the group reached

the academy Ryuu decided to speak up.

"Naruto what time do you get out for the day?" he questioned

"Around three. Why?" The blonde wondered.

"Just wondering when we should come to pick you up so we can go out for ramen" Ryuu replied.

"What? Seriously? We can go out for ramen after?" the blonde said getting excited.

"Of course Naruto I promise you, and I always keep a promise" Ryuu said giving the boy a thumbs up.

Naruto nodded to excited to say anything and then ran into the building.

"Ha ha ha that boy certainly has a lot of energy" Ryuu said amused. Rei and Jo let a small smile grace their lips.

"Well then ladies I guess we should go and do a bit of shopping while where out and about" The black haired man said while smiling.

"Hai Ryuu-sama" they both said in sync.

With that Ryuu snaked and arm around each of the women and began walking down the main road. "Hmmm I wonder where we should head off to first" Ryuu's voice echoed well walking down the street.

In the hokage office Sarutobi deactivated his crystal ball that he uses to keep an eye on the village from time to time. He was concerned about the newcomers to the village and Naruto's safety. He picked up a file which contained a report from Hebi the night before and shoved it away in his desk with a small smile.

Unknown to him Ryuu also had a small smile after the hokage cancelled his viewing technique.

A/N: Finally got my first chapter done. Please be gentle its my first crack at a fan fiction. I uploaded this chapter because I wanted to put something on my profile other then a little blurb. Rest assured I will be posting more chapters. Please don't leave too many comments about my spelling and grammar as I know I am terrible at both :P I have went over it the best I could since I am currently without a beta. I warn people now who are reading because I labelled this story a harem fic. This will be a harem fic but it will be an uber slow build up of character structure. I plan on having like 100k before Naruto gets into it seriously. That's not to say there wont be lemons just not Naruto ones so soon :P. Ok I have had my ranting time. EnjoyJ
