CHAPTER ONE

At an office an old lady sleeps with books and papers laying all about, Sake bottles empty , in the middle of the night she hears a voice "Hey Baa-chan".

She jumps up with tears in her eyes knowing that nobodies there. She whispers "Where are you Gaki , It's been so long".

The old lady looks again at the letter as she has so many times before explaining his disappearance and the sacrifice he had made to save his important friends.

How long has he been gone 5-8-10 years?

------------Back before he left

Naruto was sitting on top of the Hokage' s monument just past dark , thinking , dreading the walk home.

He knew all the names by heart and he had thought after a time it would stop but it never did no matter what he'd done for the village.

But he looked up with a a smile and said "Maybe some day".

He stood up to make his way home but he could not move nor could he talk.

A dark figured stood before him with glaring grey eyes.

Naruto could not make out any features of the man and it looked like he could almost see threw him.

Naruto was scared , he'd never seen anything like it!

The man told him he had 2 weeks and he would be back to get him and not to say anything to his important friends or anyone else.

The man pointed toward the village and Naruto was able to turn his head to see on top of nearly every house was a shadow of a ninja- poised ready to strike.

Naruto was told if he made a fuss that alot of people would die this night.

The shadowman released him with a warning to be quiet and Naruto nodded with understanding and then they were out of sight.

Naruto ran home as fast as he could slamming and locking the door behind him. He sat on the bed thinking about what the shadowman had told him. The shadowman had told that everytime he used the demon's power that it disrupted his villages invisibilty seal and they could not allow it and that he must come with them so that they could "fix it" where it would not happen again and that they would not take no for an answer. That was the reason for the show of ninja's on the rooftops of the village to make sure he would go with them. he also told him not to say a word to anybody about it or he would take action against the villagers and his friends. the shadowman said he would be back in 2 weeks on the way back from another mission and to be at the same exact spot.

Naruto was thinking out loud "What do i do . I can't put my friends or the rest of the village in danger. Most of the villagers hate me anyway but it is my way of the ninja to protect them and my friends , what few i have. Well it might be for the best anyway , seems like my being here just attracts trouble. Also he didnt seem like he wanted to hurt me just protect his village."

Naruto went over to where he had pictures of his friends and said " I'll do it for them."

(was Naruto ever wrong)
