Chapter One :

A strange encounter.


"Hey, hey, weird plant mister are you a stalker?" Naruto babbled with a grin wiping away the sweat on his forehead

Behind the five year old White Zetsu and Black Zetsu glanced at each other before White Zetsu spoke up "How did you know we were here?"

"You've been following me around silly plant man" Naruto grinned turning around to stare at them as if there was nothing wrong with how they looked, he seemed to observe them in interest "You two are cool!" he finally declared

"Thank you?" White Zetsu wasn't sure if this kid was sane or not, "How did you know we were following you?" Black Zetsu asked

"Hah? Oh, I sensed you" Naruto easily answered, "It was kinda hard though, even Inu-san and the others couldn't sense you! That's why I think you're awesome, since even the Anbu can't sense you. Heck, even I had a hard time! If it wasn't for Kyuu, I wouldn't have even known you were following me!" he seemed giddy as he stood on the ball of his feet doing air motions

"Kyuu?" White Zetsu mumbled "I don't know, but are all jinchuriki this weird?"

What Black Zetsu said seemed to have changed Naruto's mood as he smirked at the two, no trace of his childish innocence could be seen as he observed them with another level of interest through his slit blue eyes "Ara, how do you know I'm a jinchuriki? It's not exactly common knowledge for outsiders from what Kyuu told me" the look he gave them would have unnerved most but they were used to worse

"Wait, you know you're a jinchurki?" White Zetsu asked

"Yeah!" Naruto chirped bobbling his head in an exaggerated nod

"I don't believe you" Black Zetsu bluntly said

"Humans who have tailed beasts sealed inside them," Naruto shortly explained before jabbing a thumb at himself "Ore-sama," he started referring to himself with a wink "Thinks that from the moment you have a jinchuriki inside you, you're no longer human. You've exceeded human beings"

"Oh? Then what are you?" White Zetsu asked

"I'm Kami-sama!" Naruto childishly proclaimed "I'm just not at my full level yet, so I'm training!" he explained

"Oh" both Zetsu said "Well uh, good luck?" White Zetsu offered, "A god complex? He reminds me of.." Black Zetsu trailed off

"You two are cool, tell you what I'll make you two my loyal servants!" Naruto cheekily offered

"Huh?" White Zetsu was once again dumbfounded

Naruto nodded once again smirking with his slit blue eyes confirming the two Zetsu's theory that the kid is bipolar "Because you two have been following me around I decided you could make yourself useful and teach me a thing or two" he arrogantly said

"Why should we?" Black Zetsu shot back

"Because there could only be one reason that you're following Ore-sama" Naruto answered pointing at his stomach "You need Kyuu, right?"

"You're smart for a kid" Black Zetsu acknowledged

Cheekily smirking Naruto shook his head "It was Kyuu that told me that part" he informed, he wouldn't take credit from his strategist after all "But Kyuu has a question!" he exclaimed bringing up one finger for emphasize

"Question?" White Zetsu said giving the kid permission to ask

"Are you two with the man who released Kyuu from Kushina Uzumaki five years ago on the tenth of October?" Naruto asked

"Yes," Black Zetsu answered ignoring the look White Zetsu sent him "What are you going to do about it?" he asked

"Oya, so you two have a hand in Ore-sama being an orphan." if it was possible the slit in his eyes became more profound "As payment you have to train Ore-sama!" and he was back to being childish

"Why should we?" White Zetsu asked

"Because if you don't Ore-sama will tell Inu-san about you and Inu-san will tell Hokage-jii or Ore-sama will bite his tongue or Ore-sama will cry!" Naruto listed off, his cheeky smile still in place

"If we help you train, you'll have to do whatever we ask" Black Zetsu said

"Deal!" Naruto chirped doing a victory dance consisting of spinning around, jumping up and down, and giving them the victory sign. He finally paused after a bit "Well Ore-sama has to go, the funeral of Kuma-san must have ended and Inu-san is probably going to my house, I'll be back here tomorrow plant-nii and plant-jii!" he waved before bolting away

"Which one of us is nii?" Black Zetsu wondered aloud, "Are you sure this is a good idea?" White Zetsu asked, "Yeah, just don't tell Obito or he might throw a hissy fit."
