Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto...whatever

Brief summary of last chapter: 6 month yr old Naruto was kidnapped by Orochimaru, who fled to places unknown, and being hunted down by the ANBU police squad. Enjoy!! :)


A light rainstorm showered down upon Naruto and his kidnapper.

Orochimaru ran as far as he could until he reached a metal fence. He pushed Naruto under the hole he made, the toy's he stole, and then he slithered under the opening himself, and into the outskirts of Konoha. Naruto still cried, as he dashed through the trees. He made it far enough so Naruto's screams couldn't be heard, stopped, and looked down.

"You cry a lot don't you"? He asked softly. "No worries, I'll break you of that bad habit". He said, and gave a sideways smile. Then looked behind him. "That's not good". He dropped the toys and leaned his back against a tree, and slide down.

"Ssh", he prompted, rocking Naruto until he fell back to sleep. Then when Naruto had stopped crying and the little drizzle of rain had stop, he registered the opportunity to move. He rose to his feet, grabbed the boy's toys, and slowly walked into the distance.


ANBU members made the trip across town, and now settled in on a nice comfortable sofa. One was asking the questions, and the others were investigating the residence.

"When did you say your boy was kidnapped"? The ANBU detective asked, feet placed firmly on the wooden floor with a notepad and pen at hand, starring at Yondaime and Kushina on the sofa across from him.

"It had to be around 3:00, 3:05 or something. "Yondaime answered with a hand around his wives shoulder as she cried into his side, obviously in no condition to answer any type of questions. The detective looked at his watch, which read: 3:32. "What does that matter, just go out and find my son".

"Were there any strange activities happening between this time? Did you hear, or see anything at all"? The man asked, completely ignoring Yondaime's request, and darted his eye's back and forth between the two of them.

"He was crying like he always does, I woke up, went to his room and he was gone". Yondaime explained. "I didn't hear, or see anyone".

"The win-dow was o-opened", Kushina muffled in his side, trying to fight back her sobs.

"Yes", Yondaime continued. "The window was open when we went in his room". He said and squeezed his wife tighter as her cries became more violent, and loud. The detective looked at her, while he asked...

"Are you sure you didn't leave the window up"?

"What has that to do with anything"? Yondaime asked. "Even if the window was up when we left the room, he couldn't possibly have gotten to it. He can't even walk yet, let alone tall enough to reach it".

"Are you sure you didn't leave the window up", he repeated. Yondaime narrowed his eye's at the man for such an irrelevant question.

"Yes I'm sure", answered Yondaime angrily.

One of the other ANBU members came from down the stairs and walked next to the detective.

"We can't seem to find anything, hair, finger print, nothing at all for a DNA sample". The officer said.

"I see. Did you check every inch of the house", asked the detective.

"Yes sir". The detective picked himself up from the couch, and looked down at the grieving parents.

"If we find anything, we'll let you know. An if you discover anything yourselves call us immediately, and ask for detective Komaru". He said, walked by his officer, and stopped. "Keep an eye on the parents. I'm not as so much "buying" their alibi", the detective whispered, and commenced his walk when his comrade provided a nod of assurance.

"Wait", Kushina yelled. Everyone stopped. "Here, take this", she leaned over and gave the detective a picture of Naruto from her gowns pocket.

"Yes, I feel this would be of some use...Thank you". Then he walked out.


When baby Naruto awoke the next morning, he found himself on a bed enclosed within four white walls, a big wooden oak dresser, a small TV, and the three toy's Orochimaru swiped from his toy bin. Naruto examined the place for a bit and then realized he was hungry. Like any other baby, he cried. And cried! And cried!! Until finally Orochimaru came bursting through the door.

He had with him a silver platter underneath a bowl. He walked over to him, sat down, picked Naruto up, and tried feeding him. Naruto put the food in his mouth, tasted it, and spat it out. Then resumed crying again.

"Why'd you just spit it out if you were hungry"? Orochimaru inquired to the crying baby. "What baby doesn't eat smashed peas? Spoil brat wants to live in luxury. I brought the sliver platter, what more do you want"?

Naruto kept crying.

"Apparently you aren't hungry; otherwise you would've opened your mouth and told me what you wanted". Orochimaru smirked. Then he tried again, but there was no change in results.

"Fine, you don't want to eat. Cry yourself to sleep then". He said, threw Naruto on the bed, and stormed out holding his ears, leaving the food.

Orochimaru went in his room and slammed the door. He grabbed the remote, clicked the button, and watched as the TV blinked to life. Naruto cried louder, and Orochimaru turned up the volume, but the cries grew louder and louder each second.

"Shut up"!! Orochimaru yelled as he pounded on the wall. "Damnit what do you want"? He asked himself. He thought about it a minute, which was hard to do while trying to block Naruto out. Then he finally came up with something. 'Babies eat from those damn bottles don't they'?

Orochimaru dropped the remote on the floor, ran down the stairs, into the kitchen, and opened the cabinet, which revealed three rows of bottles with children's name on them. Snatching the one that read: Naruto's! and he hurriedly ran back up the stairs, bursted through the door again, and emptied the bowl into the bottle, and gave it to the boy, who stopped crying, and reached for it with unsteady fingers. Naruto had it in his shaking hands, laid back and put the nipple in his mouth.

"Damn baby".




That morning, detective Komaru and one of his fellow officers approached Naruto's house, knocked on the door, and waited as the door flung open. And there stood Yondaime, with the most disgusted look on his face. Instead of sadness and sorrow, he showed anger and infuriation.

"Did you find Naruto"? Yondaime asked, with as much kindness he could muster up.

"No. My officer and I came by today to be aware if you noticed anything in the area amiss". His officer was no more than twenty-three, twenty-four perhaps.

"We haven't found anything, and if you didn't find my son, don't bother me with such nonsense". Yondaime said, animosity lacing his words.

"Sir", the commanding officer began in a nice and gentle tone. "Please understand we're going to do all that we can go get your son back to you safely, but we-"

"It doesn't look like your doing a damn thing", Yondaime yelled, interrupting the man. "You're wasting my time sitting here babbling on about nothing"!

Komaru stepped in. "Sir please, if were going to have any luck capturing your son's kidnapper, we're going to need you to cooperate with us"...He then brought out his notepad and pen. "Now are you a hundred percent positive you didn't see anything"?

"Yes damn it! How many more times do I need to tell you until you get it through your head"! Yondaime's face went beyond disgusted; he had the expression of death. The young officer sighed.

"You have to listen, and pay attention to any orders we give you, otherwise there will be little hope for you sons return, and even more, his survival". Yondaime cooled down a little before kindly informing them of some very useful information.

"Wait", Yondaime said. "That night, when I was walking to Naruto's room to check up on him, it did sound like his cries were getting further away".

"Can you recall in which directions were your boy's cries heard"? Komaru asked.

"Uh... It sounded like it was coming from down the street". Yondaime informed as Komaru quickly jotted the notes in his pad.

"We'll take a look. And if you can think of anything else that could be of some useful information, just contact us. Ask for Officer Yun if I'm not available at the time". Yondaime nodded. "Right. Let's go".

As the two men walked down the street, they searched for any signs that could give them guidance on this investigation. "Are the parents still suspects"? Yun asked. "It doesn't seem like he'd hurt his own son. He portrays the image of loving him very much".

"Do you hear yourself when you talk? It doesn't seem--he portrays. Anyone can seem like something there not, simple to do. Example, Halloween, ghost and ghouls. Next day, average people. And anyone can portray a different attitude around different people. So don't be swayed by such obvious distinctions". Komaru said in a pale manner.

Yun felt devastated. Here he was trying to convince his captain of Yondaime's loving behavior, and Komaru turns it around in his face like it was the simplest observation in the world.

They finally made it to the end of the street. "Well we didn't find anything the entire way down here". Yun exclaimed sadly. "We have to get more clues don't we"?..."Captain". Yun called..."Captain did you hear me"?

Komaru was starring at the fence with intensity; he was in his own world. He was in his head, thinking. 'This is quaint. How could we have come this far and found nothing? Komaru asked himself.

'No! There's something here, I can feel it'. He examined it more thoroughly. He pushed at it, pulled it, until he seen the bottom. The grass growing on the concrete around the fence seemed to have been moved, as well as specs of dirt scattered on the ground.

'That dirt only surrounds this one patch of grass'. Komaru thought to himself. He bent down and pulled the grass, surprised it came up with such ease. And was faced with a hole going under the fence.

"What is it"? Yun asked dumb-founded.

"This here was the kidnappers escape route. But what I'm wondering is, are we dealing with a child or an adult kidnapper. There is no way a normal sized human-being could fit through this".

"Maybe whoever it is, is really skinny", Yun suggested.

"Yes...maybe. Nonetheless we're going to check this out".


Naruto was fast asleep, Orochimaru finally had a chance to lay back and relax. He went to his room, grabbed the remote from the floor, and jumped on the bed. And as soon as he was comfortable.

"Whaa"! Naruto cried, and Orochimaru winced.

"You little fuck"!


Komaru, and Yun made it to the outskirts of Konoha, and into the forestry area where Orochimaru made his escape. Komaru calculated the light shower that happened last night, and was beheld with some very interesting results.

"Sir, what are we looking for exactly"? Yun asked.

"Look". Komaru pointed about ten feet ahead. There we're foot prints embedded within the soil. "If we follow this, perhaps we can have some kind of lead as to where Naruto has been taken".

"Yeah! Good idea captain"! Yun yelled proudly. They followed the trail for as long as it could've taken them--that wasn't far. They came to a halt when the tracks ended about thirty yards in the forest. "That's it"? Yun inquired.

"They must've known they were leaving a trail". Komaru concluded, and glanced at another print in the ground. Far from the size of a foot, but of a body. "Yes, they had to have had stopped here, waited until the slight rains from last night passed over, and continued on...Clever".

"Or they used this path as a distraction to elude us away from their actually escape route. Yeah that could be it, couldn't it"? Yun said with uncertainties.

"No. This had to be their route-"

"But the trail ends here, where could they have possibly gone"?

"Did you not hear me the first time? They waited for the rain to clear so they wouldn't leave tracks behind. They must've noticed." Komaru explained for the second time. "Yun", he called. "One-hundred yards from this point, what location do you think I'd stumble upon"?

"Um...If my guess is correct, it would be The Sound Village".

"I see. Then that's my next destination". Komaru said. Yun clutched his arm and pulled him back.

"You mean our next destination".

"Not this time. Stay back and alert me if anything goes wrong, or the parents find anything. Got it"?! Komaru asked firmly. Yun released his arm.

"I understand", the officer said sadly. "Just hurry and find him okay"? Komaru nodded.

"Of course".

End of chapter 2


:)(:

Okay. First the names. Komaru and Yun, it's obvious I made them up, but with no description at all. Imagine how you think they'd look. Komaru voice- Just think of a serious detective, and if you watch "Deathnote"...imagine "L's" voice when he's thinking...and for Yun imagine matsuda's voice. That's how it is. And for those who don't watch Deathnote--L's voice is questioning, and Matsuda's is light with very little base. Anyhow...

I promised a longer story, it's longer, but still not that long. Although it's my first chapter story, so in any case the chapters maybe short at times, but as I get more into the story you'll begin to see a difference...hopefully! Besides, Naruto hasn't even grown up yet, so be patient if you will :) And sorry for any miss spellings in this chapter.

No pity reviews...Thank you and please review
