A/N: Hey all! Danasca here with a new chapter! Sorry this took so long but I've been away at camp anyway thanks to all who subscribed to this story and to answer your question shadow-the black queen, the Kyuubi will play an important role in Naruto's life. Well let's start this new chapter. Please leave ideas and what not.
I do NOT own Naruto
Naruto was sleeping peacefully, completely unaware of the two boys smiling mischievously at each other. Yoku lifted his hand with three fingers up and slowly counted down.
3…

As soon as the last finger went down Doku proceeded to grab Naruto, sleeping bag and all, and threw him out of the tent while screaming "GOOD MORNING NARUTO!" Before Naruto knew what had happened he found himself face first in the ashes of last night's fire.
Spluttering the blonde quickly stood up and yelled "What the hell was that for?". Doku grinned at him and said "To get you up of course, if you're gonna be living with me and Yoku, you gotta get up at the same time we do," Yoku appeared with a smirk and a bow in hand. "Which means you get up before dawn everyday," he stated in a matter of fact tone.
Naruto was horrified and he made no attempts to hide it. 'Before dawn? Everyday?' sighing he hung his head in defeat. "Fine but can I ask why so early?" Naruto asked with a small glare.
Yoku shouldered a quiver of arrows before saying "Two reasons: One to give us enough time to hunt for breakfast, and two, to get ready in time for the academy," With that he jogged off into the forest and was soon lost to the foliage. Doku shrugged and tossed a 4 inch long survival knife at Naruto's feet.
Startled Naruto picked up the knife and looked at Doku just in time to catch a sheath where he could strap it onto his arm or leg and sheath his new knife. "To answer why I gave you that it's because of two things. One that knife is good for hunting, skinning and other things," Doku explained, "Two you're gonna need something to defend yourself with until we get enough money for real shinobi tools," Naruto frowned, but nodded in understanding.
"So what do we do until Yoku gets back?" Naruto inquired. "Well first off do you know how to gut, clean and skin an animal?" asked Doku. Naruto nodded his head. "Then you can get started on making a fire. Just grab some dead leaves and branches. I'm gonna go take a quick dip in the lake to get clean," Doku informed.
With that Doku left leaving Naruto to his task and thoughts. 'I can't believe it' Naruto thought. "Neither can I kit, but its better that that cardboard bow you were staying in," said the Kyuubi. Naruto mentally nodded in agreement.
When Naruto was four he had been thrown out of the orphanage. Shortly after Naruto had been nearly killed by a mob. That was the first time Naruto had been attacked by a mob.
-Flashback-
A three-year-old Naruto was lying on the ground, beaten, broken and covered with cuts and blood. Only two thoughts went through the kid's head, why had he been attacked and called a monster? And was he going to die? Not long after that the boy slipped into unconsciousness.
Soon Naruto found himself lying down in some shallow and filthy water. Sitting up he found himself in what appeared to be a sewer with numerous pipes protruding from the walls. What caught the blonde's immediate attention though was the giant ornate cage. The bars were huge and spaced out far enough that it would be no problem for him to slip through them. In the cent of the cage was a piece of paper with the kanji for seal on it.
Curious the small boy walked forward to investigate. Suddenly he came face to face with a giant red eye with a slit black pupil. Naruto froze, because as soon he came face to face with the eye he felt it. The emitting from the cage was incredible! There was a sense of malice floating in the air that made it hard to breathe. Suddenly the eye widened and the poor blonde was hit with powerful amount of killer intent. It took all of Naruto's willpower not to pass out in fear at the presence before him. Instead he just sat down in the water with a look of utter terror.
Suddenly the room was filled with laughter, not a dark and menacing laugh but a laugh filled with amusement, the kind of laugh a prankster would have after pulling a prank. "HAHA! Nice job kit! You passed my test," boomed a loud voice. Naruto just let out an intelligent "Huh?" while the eye just shone with mirth. Immediately the landscape around the two shifted into that of a forest clearing with a large lake nearby. Naruto stared with a confused and apprehensive look at the fox that stood in front of him. It had reddish brown fur with red fox eyes and nine tails waving behind it. The fox seemed to have an amused smirk on its face.
"My test kit, you passed," Naruto just sat there with his head tilted to the side in a questioning manner. "I mean if you're going to be my container then I want to make sure you're tough. Most people would have fainted and others would have died, when I stare at them like that. Only a handful of people have been able to do what you did, and even fewer to actually be unaffected," chuckled the Kyuubi. Naruto scratched his head and asked, "What do you mean by container?"
Suddenly the fox got a serious look on his face. "Tell me Naruto, what do you know about the fight between the fourth hokage and the Nine tailed fox?" scratching his head Naruto responded "Well a big monster called the Kyuubi came and attacked the village. Then the fourth came ad did some awesome jutsu that killed it, but the fourth died too," stated the young blonde. "You are somewhat right Naruto but not completely. The fourth could not kill me so instead he sealed me into a newborn baby," the fox said in a serious tone. Curious the blonde asked "Wait you mean you're the Kyuubi? You don't look evil to me," stated the three year old.
The fox smiled sadly at the boy. "Yes I am the Kyuubi, but I did not mean to attack the Leaf," said the fox "All I seem to remember is going through the forest when I locked eyes with a man named Madara Uchiha," he growled out the last name, his tails thrashing behind him in anger, "Those damn eyes of his caused me to attack your village, and what is worse is that this is not the first time he has bent me to his will," for a while the fox sat there in apparent fury, killing intent pouring out of him. Naruto unconsciously took a few steps back from the angry fox in fear.
After a while the fox sighed "I apologize if I have startled you Naruto, but you had to know why I attacked the village before I told you the most important part of my tale," Naruto waved his hands dismissively and gave the fox a big grin "Don't worry I'm not mad at you, it's not your fault," The fox just smiled sadly 'Poor kid, his life has been hell and yet he still smiles, damn those villagers! Naruto I am truly sorry, but I will make up for it' "Naruto listen carefully to what I am about to tell you" the blonde stared at the fox curious as to what it was he had to tell him "Naruto, YOU are the child that I was sealed into, You are my container," he waited for the news to sink into the blonde.
For what seemed like an eternity Naruto sat there dumbfounded. He realized why the villagers were so mean to him now, why they scorned and hurt him. 'So I really am a monster? But why me? Maybe the villagers are right' while he was thinking this he was completely unaware of the fox growling in anger. Without warning Naruto found himself pinned to the ground with an angry fox staring directly at him. "Don't you EVER think that again!" snarled the fox. Bewildered Naruto just stared at the fox, his mouth agape. "You are not a demon and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! You are Naruto Uzumaki, container of the nine tailed fox and I REFUSE to have a vessel that thinks otherwise," the nine tailed demon snapped. Naruto nodded to afraid to say anything. "Naruto am I a monster?" the fox asked intently.
A bit taken aback at this Naruto hesitated. All his life he had been told that demons were evil. That they were monsters filled with malice and hatred. Yet after meeting the supposed worst of the worst. He couldn't call Kyuubi a monster, maybe a little scary at times but not a monster. Naruto shook his head. "No you're not a monster. You can be a little scary, but not a monster," stated the kid.
At this the fox rolled off Naruto laughing. He composed himself and regarded the young blonde with kind eyes "Good, now don't you ever let those villagers get you down and if they do, get up, spit in their eye and run like hell!," stated the fox. Naruto giggled at this and agreed. From that day Kyuubi had taught Naruto how to survive, how to hunt, steal, and read. Kyuubi also taught Naruto how to get back at the villagers, and it was in the glorious ways of pranking
-End Flashback-
Naruto finished collecting wood and started the fire. 'Should we tell Jiji about this?' Naruto asked his tenant "He'll find out anyway, besides you need to tell him that living at that apartment he gave just wasn't working out," stated the fox. It was true. Even though he had been given an apartment, Naruto rarely stayed in it due to the villagers' constant break-ins and attacks. That and he was overpriced on his rent and bills and he was forced to pay up for all the damage the villagers caused out of his own pocket. Naruto hadn't stayed in the apartment for little over a year, figuring he'd move back when he became a ninja.
Sighing, Naruto sat down next to the fire and waited for his friends to come back. Not long after Yoku appeared carrying two freshly killed rabbits by their hind legs. "Hey Naruto, where's Doku?" greeted the grey eyed boy. "He said he went to take a dip in the lake, so is that breakfast?" the blonde asked pointing at the rabbits. Nodding Yoku tossed him a rabbit and started cleaning the other one.
Wielding his new knife Naruto proceeded to gut and skin his own rabbit. Soon there were two rabbits roasting on spits in the fire. "Mmm something smells good!" a voice exclaimed. A wet haired Doku soon appeared out of the bushes.
The boys ate their meals and prepared for their first day of school. Naruto was wearing a white T-shirt with an orange swirl on the front and tan cargo pants. Doku was wearing a simple red T-shirt with forest-camo pants and Yoku wore a black shirt and loose jeans. "All right boys time to start our career as kick ass shinobi! So lets go!" Doku exclaimed with his fist in the air and dashing off towards the village. Naruto followed excitedly while Yoku just palmed his face and followed slowly after.
About an hour later we find our heroes in a dead end alley. "Say it," said Yoku. Doku grumbled. "I can't hear you," sang Yoku. Growling, Doku slumped his head and said "I don't know where the academy is," Naruto sweat dropped at this and proceeded to follow Yoku, with a depressed Yoku at the rear. Minutes later the boys found themselves staring at their classroom door.
"Ok so who wants to go in first?" asked Yoku. "You go first Doku," said Naruto. "No way! What if the teacher is mad at us for being late?" Doku argued. "Well we ave to go in sooner or later," stated an annoyed Yoku "So one of you open the door," "Why don't you do it then?" challenged Naruto. They argued for a bit before the twins caught each other's eyes and nodded at the same time, as if agreeing on something. Naruto, oblivious to do this, suddenly found himself thrown into the classroom. Thus began our heroes' first day of school.
