Just to clear up some confusion, the pairing is NOT Naru/Ten. The main characters are Naruto and Tenten, but they aren't in a pairing together. (eww...Naru/Ten... Tenten belongs to Neji)

Chapter 2: First Contact
Konoha, 7 years after the sealing
A blond-haired, blue-eyed boy scurried through the maze of alleyways, to escape the mob of drunk villagers and shinobi, who were intent on killing him, the one they called "the demon who killed their beloved Yondaime Hokage". Those mobs must have been insane: what had he done?
Meanwhile, a brown-haired, brown-eyed girl, with her hair in buns leapt across rooftops and ducked into alleyways to run-away from the shinobi who had heard that Sealmasters Shinji-sama and Rina-sama were sacrificed from the use of the Shiki Fuuin, to seal the Jyuubi no Ryuu into the child.
Naruto zig-zagged his way through the piles of junk, until he crashed into a brunette with brown eyes, who was running towards him and tripped into him.
"Ow... Are you alright?"asked Naruto, helping the girl up. "I'm Naruto, what's your name?"
"Thank you Naruto-san. My name is Tenten," she replied timidly. She suddenly hugged him really hard and whimpered, "Please save me from those shinobi, who are hunting me down!"
"Finally we have the demons cornered," spoke out the leaders of both mobs. "We have been waiting for a very long time to kill you both. It's just our luck that tonight we can kill both demons and become the heroes of this village!" spoke up a villager, waving around a kitchen knife. The mobs cheered at this statement.
Naruto and Tenten huddled near the wall of the building, while waiting for the torture that befell them from the approaching people, as there was no way out.
"Kit, use my power,"echoed a voice in Naruto's mind as he was flooded with a demonic ruby chakra.
"Here, cub, take some of my chakra. I will answer your questions later," spoke a voice in Tenten's mind, as she was flooded with a demonic emerald chakra.
"Aaaaaaaaaah!" screamed the two children as the ruby chakra took to a shape of a fox, with a forked tail, and the emerald chakra took to a shape of a dragon, with its wings spread and a forked tail. Naruto's appearance changed, with his whisker marks darkening, his eyes turning red with a slitted pupil, his canines becoming longer and sharper and his nails becoming claws. Tenten's appearance changed, with her nails turning into dragon-like talons, her canines turning into sharp pointed teeth, her hair released from its buns and flowing out into pigtails near the top of her head to look like dragon horns and her eyes turning a reptilian yellowish-green with a slit for a pupil.
" Fear our wrath for the hatred towards our containers," they hissed, and the mobs suddenly knew that these were the demons talking. Some of the villagers suddenly screamed as they were impaled by raw ruby chakra. Emerald chakra acted as a scythe, which swept through the mob, killing most of the peoples and destroying the Haruno clan residence. Ruby chakra formed spears and whips, which took out the rest of the mobs, by stabbing them in fatal areas, or just them dying from the exposure to raw demonic chakra.
A wild chakra surge erupted from the back alleys and dumps area. It alerted Sarutobi and the ANBU to investigate. When they arrived at the scene (doesn't that sound like a freaking police movie?), Naruto and Tenten were slumped on the ground, with a wisp of demonic emerald and ruby chakra lingering, before disappearing into their hosts' bodies.
"Go see if there are any survivors. Disperse!," Sarutobi instructed the ANBU as they all looked with wide eyes at the destruction. "Hai Sarutobi-sama," they chorused, and spread out to search for survivors.
One ANBU, Ryuu, did not go to search for survivors; instead, he cautiously approached the two unconscious children and were about to strangle them, until emerald and ruby chakra came out of them, burned his hands and slowly the children's eyes opened. They both had slitted eyes, Naruto with a red iris, and Tenten with a yellowish-green iris. "Do not dare to kill our containers just to kill us," they spoke in a low monotone in unison. "We might be the highest ranked demons, but we still have our demon honour that says that we must let an innocent child live."Inu began to sweat as he realised that it was not the children talking, but the Kyuubi and Jyuubi contained within them.
"Ryuu! For attempting to murder two innocent children, you are to be stripped of your rank and title as ANBU, and sent back to Chuunin!" thundered Sarutobi.
"But they are the demons who killed Minato-sensei, Rina-sama and Shinji-sama!" cried out Ryuu, clenching his fists in anger.
"How dare you speak of them like that! They are HEROES! They saved Konoha from the rampages of two demons, one the King of the Bijuu, the Jyuubi no Ryuu and the other, the second in command, the Kyuubi no Kitsune!" roared Sarutobi, leaking a lot of killer intent. Seeing Ryuu leaking some of his own killer intent and about to retort, Sarutobi continued, about to kill Ryuu, "If they weren't used as the containers of the Kyuubi and the Jyuubi, then Konoha would have been destroyed, as no other parent were willing to give up their child to be the great sacrifice! If Minato-san, Shinji-san and Rina-san hadn't sacrificed their own children, we wouldn't be here today, and possibly the Elemental Countries would possibly be devoid of life!"
"Huh? Naruto is sensei's son and Tenten is Shinji-sama and Rina-sama's daughter?" asked Ryuu, with wide eyes and thinking so hard that his brains might burst from blood pressure due to the overload of information.
"Yes, you baka. Can't anyone tell that Minato is Naruto's father? It's really quite obvious: you just add whisker marks to the only other person with blond hair and blue eyes like Naruto, and I don't mean the Yamanakas because they have platinum blond hair," muttered Sarutobi, ranting about how dumb some of the people in this village are. "Ryuu! Since you're still only a Chuunin, you are not allowed to be here so please leave the site immediately!" called Sarutobi, as Ryuu took off his mask and scurried away.
'I'm getting too old for this shit now', thought Sarutobi. 'Must read my Icha Icha later. I don't know how Minato did the paperwork, and there's got to be even more paperwork from the damage from these two'.Sarutobi's inner looked very dejected and depressed.
"Any survivors?" he asked the ANBU captain, who was bowing in front him to report. "No sir, but the Haruno residence can be saved, and some of the Harunos perished because they joined the mobs. The rest of them are at the End of Kyuubi and Jyuubi festival" the ANBU replied. "Good work ANBU. You may go now. Disperse!" said Sarutobi, waving his hand in dismissal. He picked up Naruto and Tenten, which the demonic chakras allowed, and leaf-shushined to his office. Lying them down on the sofa, he sat in his armchair and waited for them to wake up.
