A/N: So…this is my first fic so I know its not gunna be spectacular but it should be ok, most likely I'm gunna try and update one or every two weeks; but ya'll know stuff comes up so I'll get it to ya'll as fast as I can…also this is gunna be naruhina (cause its like the best pairing ever! I really like them to be together [I only read fic's that have them as a pairing fyi…, and if Kishimoto does not put them together I'm gunna track him down and force him to make a revised form to fit us naruhina-fans!!!) Also there will be an OCxOC…This is gunna be focused on those two pairings mainly but I will tell other pairings as the fic progresses...

Small warning this is rated T for mild cursing

…And if anyone knows a good translators let me know I got a few jutsu I need translated and some names…on a related note, I may need some (about 1 or 2) beta's anyone want the job???

A little more background on this is…like many other naruto fic's this happens after the training with Jiraiya, but for now in the prologue its about a year into naruto's journey while in the land of grass, naruto meets a young shinobi of about 16 named Kusa Ookami (fyi the village didnt see much point in giving him a real last name like his parents so just wolf as the last name) who seems to have been banished from hidden in grass because he is the holder for the 4 tailed ookami demon, and they thought him a threat to the village so they banished him (also his seal is stronger than gaara's so he's not insane, he can control a small amount of the wolfs chakra, and like the kyubi the wolf heals the holder)…this story will be a bit AU for some of normals in naruto and also remember this is MY fic and I can do what I want, but I am open to suggestions…and keep in mind this has not been BETAed yet cause i havent found anyone so it may have some stuff wrong.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto; if I did do you think I would be writing this…? But I digress, I do own the character Kusa

…Anyways on with the story!!!

Simple Design

Prologue: The Number One Unpredictable and The Razor

To say it was a nice day would be an understatement. The sun was high in the sky beating down on the ocean of grass with all of its glory. Yet a mild breeze that passed by gave a cooling aura that would make a person want to drop everything sit in the grass and take nap, and that exactly what a young man of about 16 was doing.

Sitting in the shade of an old oak tree was a young shinobi napping after a very strenuous early morning sparing session, in other words his training partner and self-proclaimed nii-chan pulled him out of his bed at six in the morning to test his skills thus far. Their sparing ended at about nine and his nii-chan went to get some breakfast ramen and their perverted sensei. Shortly after his nii-chan left he found an old tree to sit under and resume the best dream he had ever had, which he was having before being forced to spar in the wee-hours of the morning.

The appearance of this shinobi was like many in his field of work. He has black/brown hair that was semi-long and some-what curly at some parts; it goes to the lower half of his neck in the back and just covering his forehead in the front. His eyes are a deep brown that made the bark on a pine tree pale; his canines are a bit larger than most others thanks to his 'guest'. He is about 6'0 foot in height and somewhere near 180 lbs.

His clothing is simple, a pair of black with green trim shinobi pants that go to his ankle and are a bit baggy, standard black shinobi sandals, a black t-shirt with the kanji for 'Tenchu' in green on the front, over the t-shirt a forest-green vest, on both arms are green arm guards that go up three-fourths of the way to the elbow.

On his right thigh was a kunai and shuriken holder, on his left hip a normal shinobi pouch (filled with spare kunai, explosive tags, a small bag of soldier pills, minor medical bandages, and three flash bombs), and last but not least his prized shinobi katana (only about 3-4 foot long); on the sheath was the plate for hidden in grass (he has yet to remove it) the grip of the katana is green with black intersects and the sheath is jet black. [A/N: he wears it slung over his shoulder with a strap and on his back like an ANBU

Still trying to get to the good part of the dream (I.e. the part where he fights off the evil shinobi and wins the girls heart to a point where she says she'll love him forever and bear his children)[A/N: me thinks jiraiya is rubbing off on him ehehe, is interrupted by the sound of yelling. 'Ugh…it must be naruto yelling at jiraiya-sama again' thought Kusa

"I told you already gaki!" screamed Jiraiya with force that may have rivaled Iruka, "I'm not teaching you that jutsu! Its way to dangerous at your current level!"

"Nani?! There's nothing wrong with my level, ero-sennin!" yelled naruto before earning a bonk on the head for his 'nickname' for Jiraiya, "ite! Just teach me the damn jutsu its not that bad!"

Kusa stares at the two before saying " oy, what are you two fighting about this time?"

Naruto was the first to answer, "Ero-sennin wouldn't teach me the katon jutsu he used on those guys that we fought a week ago" explained naruto pointing at Jiraiya before pouting and glaring at him.

"I'm telling you, naruto, that jutsu is to hard for you to use right now" said Jiraiya before going and standing in the shade of the tree Kusa was under.

Kusa stared at Jiraiya for a moment, then sighing and saying " Jiraiya-sama you may want to reconsider, remember what naruto did last time you wouldn't teach him a jutsu" at this Jiraiya clutched his chest remembering that last time he refused to teach naruto a jutsu, causing Naruto to burned his 'research' notes. Kusa had to admit seeing one of the legendary sannin (and a grown man at that) crying over a pile of ashes was funny as hell.

"He wouldn't dare!" said jiraiya holding onto his note in his robe and glaring at Naruto, who only smirked in which made Jiraiya shudder.

Naruto pulled a few pages of note from his shinobi pack and fanned them out " looking for these, ero-sennin?" asked Naruto before pulling out a lighter from his pocket, "just teach me the jutsu and you can have them back".

Kusa could only smirk and shakes his head as his nii-chan shook the note in front of the sannin.

Jiraiya was shocked to find a group of 'i-o-u' notes from where his note had been, Jiraiya thought a minute only to reply with "I still cant teach the jutsu to you, naruto you have the chakra but not the chakra control, I can teach you a smaller more basic version of it if you like" Jiraiya had a small glimmer of sadness in his eyes that Kusa could see and deducted the toad hermit was right.

Naruto was still pouting but reluctantly handed over the notes and nodded to Jiraiya, who smiled and ruffled Naruto's hair.

The former grass shinobi smirked at the two; they really did look like grandfather and grandson, then offered "oy, naruto, maybe you can get that little hyuga girl to help with your chakra control when you get back" Naruto looked confused which only made Kusa laugh and shake his head.

o0o0o0o0o0o

In one of the many konoha training grounds a 13 year old clan heiress sneezed and thought 'who's talking about me? maybe naruto-kun is…' At that thought the byakugan heiresses face turned a deep crimson red, even the thought of naruto specking about her made her blush even more if he were right in front of her, her teammates seen this and stared at her.

Both Shino and Kiba thought at the same time 'she must be thinking of naruto...'

o0o0o0o0o0o

The young shinobi keep laughing for nearly an entire two minutes at how thick headed his friend was. Naruto had told and showed, kusa, pictures of his friends in konoha and mentioned how his friend, hinata, would always blush and stutter around him and at times faint if he even so much a bump her by accident. Naruto did admit he thought it was cute when she stuttered, unlike most who could have thought it odd or a show of weakness, and Kusa never let the leaf shinobi forget it.

"Eh? Nii-san your weird sometimes you know that." said Naruto as he stared blankly at Kusa.

Before Naruto could blink Kusa was in front of him and with two fingers poking Naruto in the forehead. "One to talk bro, your so hopeless you couldn't see what was in front of you" Naruto scowled at this and play punched Kusa in the gut.

"Anyways to that question this morning, give up on that sakura girl, even after that sasuke kid ran off to the hebi-teme and she still cares for him you have no chance bro" said the former grass shinobi with a sad face.

-Flashback-

Just after the first hour of sparring the ware was showing on Kusa's face. He may have a demon sealed to him but that doesn't mean he has the monstrous stamina that his nii-chan has. For some reason Naruto raised his hand up to stop, Kusa looked at him funny before Naruto blurted out

"oy, oy nii-san! You know that girl I like, sakura, maybe I got a chance when I get back cause sasuke's gone now!" said an optimistic Naruto.

Kusa looked at Naruto for a moment before saying "hmm, what brought this up?"

Naruto looked at the ground and scratched the back of his head sheepishly before answering, "I kind of had a dream about her last night"

Kusa smirked then said, " that so , dunno I'll think it over and get back to yah okay bro…"

-End flashback-

"Ano, I know it's just really hard to get over yah know?" said Naruto with a small pout, and looked down. Kusa nodded, he really hated seeing the blond energy-ball like this.

Kusa stared at Naruto for a moment before turning his head and adding "oy, nii-chan how 'bout later after training we go get you some ramen" at the word ramen Naruto glomped Kusa, saying such things as 'arigatou nii-san!' and 'you're the best nii-san ever!'

Kusa pulled Naruto off of himself before looking out over the sea of green, while thinking of the first time that they meet and the past two months he joined Jiraiya and Naruto on their training mission.

-Flashback-

In a small town sitting not far from the village hidden in grass, was a young man eating at the local ramen shop.

Sitting there trying enjoying his miso ramen, it was the only thing keeping his mind off of just not a week ago being banished from hidden in grass. He knew why he was banished and thought it was down right idiotic, he had the four-tail ookami demon sealed within him, he was told his father was killed before he was born and his mother giving birth to him, he still fresh out of the womb they had the spirit of the ookami infused with his being. Apparently they were trying to make a super shinobi. The seal put on him was strong so his psyche would not break. So he grew up with no one, parents would tell their children to stay away and hate the boy. They only saw him as the ookami not as himself. It didn't mater to him he didn't care about being alone as long as they let him become a shinobi so he could get a little respect and one day reach the ANBU class and become a captain. They thought he was getting strong to fast and banished him so he would not pose a future threat. So unfortunately being banished he could not get the respect he wanted.[A/N: I know that's a little over played in some fic's but its all I had for right now…

He was slightly interrupted by the sound of an orange clad boy sitting down next to him, who said "oy, oy mister! Can I get a bowl of pork ramen right here?" Kusa looked back down at his ramen and ate a little more.

Then the blond poked Kusa in the side and spoke " oy, what's wrong? You look kind of sad"Kusa looked over and stared at the boy oddly before specking.

"I…I just got banished from my village a week ago" said Kusa with a sad smile, and then turned back to his ramen.

"Nani?! What did you do?" asked the hyper boy, Kusa couldn't tell if he should share the story or not. Not really seeing the harm in it he decided maybe he could vent with this kid.

"I…exist," said Kusa with a face void of any emotion, then the boy looked at him not understanding. Kusa sighed before saying " I'm the container for the four tail ookami, I was allowed to grow but I was shunned by most of everyone in the village and I became a ninja but was thought to much of a liability so I was banished…"

Hearing this two fists slammed on the counter. One of the fist belonged to the orange clad boy and the other that seemed to be his caretaker, he had a large scroll on his back. Kusa looked at both of them seeing anger on both faces. Reluctantly he looked at them with a sad face and asked "what's wrong?" Both looked up surprised much like one would look if hit in the stomach.

The boy was the first to answer, "We're one in the same Nii-san" sad coated the words the boy spoke.

Kusa looked up a little surprised "what do you mean kid?" not sure he heard what he heard.

The boy looked at his caretaker who only nodded. Then the boy started " I'm the container for the kyubi no kitsume, just like you I was shunned by my village but as time progressed I was accepted by a few people" the boys face was full of many emotions ranging from sad to anger to joy. The boy spoke again "to those few people that did accepted me I promised to protect them with my life, did you ever have anyone like that ever?"

"no, I was shunned by each and every person I came into contact with but it didn't matter to me" said the shinobi as he was about to get up and leave and then said "if its one thing I have to myself its my name, its Kusa Ookami, it was a pleasure to meet you"Kusa then bowed and walked out.

The blond then turned to his caretaker and said "ero-sennin can he come with us it would be good to have a sparring partner and we can keep him from the akatski" the boy looked at his sensei with pleading eyes.

The white haired man thought it over for a moment before saying "yes it would be best to keep akatski from getting another piece to their plan, and he could keep you off of my back for some times, go get him" At this there was a yellow and orange blur making its way to the former grass shinobi who only turned slightly to see what it was.

The blur turned into the orange boy who said " oy, Kusa-nii-san! My sensei says that you can come with us if you like because you've got not other place to be!" to say Kusa was surprised would a major understatement.

"are you serious? Why?" Kusa looked at the boy with pleading eyes then a very skeptical look. Remembered how people would give him something only to take it away the second he got it.

The blond looked oddly at the older boy and stated "we're the same nii-san, I know you don't want to be alone really; and plus there's an organization called akatski that is trying to get all of the demons sealed to humans to use for their on reasons" the boy looked up " and if you come with us your not gunna be alone anymore and we can help you, heck you can even join the village if we ask baa-chan nicely." The blond then had a big smile on his face that Kusa could tell was a true smile and he could trust this child.

"I guess your right i dont want to be alone anymore... and I guess I'll travel with you now…nii-chan" Kusa looked at the boy with a smile, the only true smile he had in his entire life. "but ano who's baa-chan?" asked the banished nin

"eh? Baa-chan is what a call her but she's the hokage of Konohagakure" said blankly like it was common knowledge.

"you…call your kage baa-chan…and she doesn't punish you?" asked Kusa not believing what he was hearing. A show of such disrespect could get some shinobi put to their death.

" na she like family to me, and she thinks of me like a little brother, although I do have to dodge flying paper weights, fists, and desks." Stated the blond while rubbing his head remembering the time he go hit with her fist sending him threw the wall. "anyways my names uzumaki naruto future hokage! come on I'll introduce you to ero-sennin and we can have more ramen!" said the enthusiastic blond pulling the other nin along.

-End Flashback-

'looks like this is gunna be a entertaining year and a half' Thought the young shinobi as he looked at his nii-chan and their sensei talking about the jutsu.

o0o0o0o0o0o

A/N: so how was it? Any good? R&R tell me how I did…if some of you are asking about the name of the prologue its simple, naruto is the unpredictable(well der) and the razor is Kusa's nickname because he uses his katana with his taijutsu.

And to some of you are asking "why did Kusa trust them that easy and go with them?", well think about it if your shunned all of your life and someone truly wants you around and wants to help you; your gunna jump at that and never want to have it go away…so that's the main reason, also shinobi are trained to read emotions and can tell lies from truth...like he did

Next chapter preview: Ok so in the next chapter naruto, jiraiya, and kusa return to konoha, naruto gets to meet with most of his friends and he introduces kusa to them, we meet my next OC, hinata has a secret that she's hiding about her training lets see how naruto takes it...and we see the fate of Kusa in konoha!!! Stay tuned!
