A/N Cliffhangers! Fun to use, but awful to read!

Naruto: NO! I THOUGHT YOU WERE JOKING ABOUT THE MOTTO!

Silameara: Hehe… Moving on!

Naruto: Uhg. What happens now that I've been arrested?

Silameara: Read, if you want to find out!

Naruto: But I'm a part of the story! I can't read it, or see it from other character's points of views!

Silameara: TOO BAD! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Naruto: You're crazier than Sasuke!

Silameara: The Disclaimer for not owning Naruto was in the first chapter, but I'm bad with Japanese names and copied them from some manga and other anime. I do not own "The Wallflower." Aww… Nor do I own any of its characters, such as Ranmaru, Yukinojo, and Sunako. (I may use more of the names as the story goes on).

Naruto: Copy-cat.

Chapter Two: A Change in Life (For the Worse)

Naruto followed the ANBU member through Konoha; he had no choice, really. She had grabbed him by the hair and was dragging him along as such. A few villagers looked at the scene and smiled. Some even laughed. One actually threw a stone, which hit Naruto in the back of the head. The ANBU member (who had a Bird mask, I don't care what actual character had it, this is a totally made-up character) did nothing to stop it, and soon all the villagers were shouting angrily at Naruto and throwing stones and kunai. By the time he and the bird-masked woman were at the Hokage tower, he had a bleeding shoulder, blood trickling down from his lips, multiple bruises, and worst of all, a broken heart.

"So, is this little boy really the container of the Kyuubi?" the Fifth Hokage asked.

"Yes," was the reply.

"Container? Kyuubi?" Naruto gasped.

"Why yes. You're the container holding the Kyuubi, as the Fourth Hokage was never able to kill it. Instead of killing you, like we should have, Konoha has let you live," the Fifth explained, brushing his long black bangs out of his light brown eyes. Of course, his actual name was Ranmaru Itsumo (Yes, I know Itsumo means 'always'). "After learning that you can do a bunshin with only half a percent of your actual chakra, I almost made the decision to kill you."

Naruto gulped; he could feel sweat form due to nervousness.

"However," Ranmaru continued, "In the end, we've decided to make use of the fact that you have the powers of a demon. You'll be a trump card for Konoha, someone only used in wars and extremely difficult missions."

"B-b-but I haven't even graduated the academy! And what do you mean by a bunshin with a half percent of my chakra?" Naruto asked, unsure about this and what was going to happen to him.

"Sunako-chan, please answer its questions," the Fifth said.

The ANBU member (who was apparently called Sunako) responded with, "Iruka has a scroll with ninety-nine and a half percent of your chakra sealed up inside it. The scroll is made with flesh of some of Konoha's enemies, so it doesn't end up being destroyed by all that power. And what does it matter if you haven't graduated the academy yet? You're a demon, you don't need to! After all, you're going to get your power back momentarily, making you stronger than all the ANBU put together."

Flesh? Naruto glared at her. "If you do, what makes you think I'd be obedient as Akamaru?"

"You'll find out," Ranmaru replied. "Sunako, take him away."

"Come on, demon brat," Sunako ordered, not seeming to care if she was in an ANBU mask or not. The Hokage, however, noticed this.

"Sunako, please take off your mask if you're going to talk."

Sunako nodded and removed the bird mask, revealing brown eyes and black hair that fell a few inches past her shoulders (Wow! She's like Haku, only she's actually a girl!)

"Like I said before, come on, demon brat." The words didn't seem to fit her kind look. However, Naruto obeyed out of fear of what an ANBU member could do to an academy student that struggled to get average grades.

It isn't fair. I didn't destroy the village, Kyuubi did! Naruto thought, annoyed and frightened at the same time. He was so involved in his thoughts that he didn't notice that he was being dragged towards ANBU headquarters. He only realized this when Sunako took him inside. A few other people without masks on were standing there, as if waiting.

"So you brought it, Sunako-chan?" a man asked, nodding his head in the direction of Naruto.

Suddenly, Naruto felt rage pulse through him. "I have a name, you know. I'm not an 'it.' "

"Shut up," Sunako ordered, and slapped him. Naruto, who hadn't been expecting it, fell to the ground (Combined with the fact that she's an ANBU, that must have hurt; yes I know slapping doesn't usually get people to fall to the ground).

"So, are the preparations done?" Sunako asked.

Preparations? Naruto thought, his stomach giving a lurch. Oh, please don't bring out some sort of dagger or another weapon used for killing…

"Yes, everything is set up. This way," the man answered, leading them through a hall. After a while, he stopped and did a hand seal. "Release," he murmured, and A large square of bricks vanished, revealing bars.

What the heck is happening here? Naruto thought. Is that where they keep poisons and weapons or something?

Sunako stepped forward, still grasping Naruto firmly by the arm. "Alright, where's the switch to open it?"

"Here," the second ANBU member replied, pressing a button on the wall. The bars slid upwards, and Sunako pulled Naruto inside.

"What's going on?" Naruto asked, hardly able to make himself heard as fear seemed to squeeze his throat.

Sunako simply lifted him up and clipped some chains hanging off the ceiling around his wrists (after removing the handcuffs, of course). "You can take care of the rest, Yukinojo-kun."

"Hai," the man (apparently Yukinojo) replied. He had light brown hair and green eyes.

"Can someone please tell me what's going on?" Naruto asked sheepishly as Sunako left.

Giving no indication that he had heard, Yukinojo clipped some more chains around Naruto's ankles. These are heavy… What are they made of, titanium? Maybe I should try to escape… Naruto thought, slightly annoyed now.

"Don't even think about trying to escape," Yukinojo said simply, as if reading Naruto's mind. "Those chains are stronger than titanium."

Worse than I thought, Naruto thought.

Yukinojo suddenly reached upwards and pulled something down from the ceiling- a rather low ceiling. As he pulled it towards Naruto (a strong cord slid out of the ceiling as he did so, attached to the thing), Naruto could see that it was a sort of mask (it looked like the kind of thing Sasuke had over his mouth in the hospital in episode something where Kabuto came close to killing him, but Kakashi rescued Sasuke, just in case you pictured something else). Yukinojo took a few strings attached to the sides of the mask and tied it firmly around Naruto's mouth. Where does the cord lead to? It's hollow, like some kind of tube… Should I even breath? He managed to hold his breath for quite awhile, while Yukinojo simply stood and watched, as if waiting.

Finally, Naruto took a deep breath, his lungs aching from lack of air. A few moments after he started breathing, however, he felt weak with exhaustion. "What's happening?" he asked Yukinojo. Poison… I should have known.

"That special gas you're breathing in will neutralize almost all of your chakra, leaving you with just enough to live," Yukinojo explained.

So what happens now? Am I just going to stay here? Despite the fact that he shouldn't have even cared about the fact, knowing the vulnerable position he was in, he couldn't help think, How boring.

Finally, Yukinojo put a collar-like thing around Naruto's neck. "A chakra control device. Any chakra you somehow manage to use, even in your weakened state, will vanish at the touch of this button," he added to his many explanations, and motioned towards a switch.

"So what am I supposed to do?" Naruto spat. "Sit here and do nothing the rest of my life?" His voice was quieted slightly because of the mask covering his mouth and nose, but nonetheless he was still heard.

"Yes, as a matter of fact, at least until a war or something of that sort," Yukinojo replied, walking away, and pressing the button that had raised the bars. The bars lowered once more.

Just great, Naruto thought. I'm stuck in here as if I actually did some sort of criminal action! And the wounds I got on the way to the Hokage's tower still hurt!

A/N The next chapter is what happened in the point of view of the academy students, Iruka, and Mizuki.

Naruto: Not fair. I want to know what happens, too, but I'm going to be stuck in a heavily guarded cell!

Silameara: To those who are saying, "Konoha has a jail, so why is Naruto in the ANBU headquarters?" ANBU headquarters is definitely harder to escape from, and since everyone classifies Naruto as a demon, if you were them, wouldn't that make sense?

Naruto: Aren't you supposed to be responding to reviews now?

Silameara: Oh yeah! Forgot about that! Sorry. Okay, first off, there's Vincent Nuramashi. Yes, I update as soon as I finish the chapters, so the updates will probably come pretty fast (for now, at least). I'm like Sasori, in a way. I don't like keeping people waiting.

Naruto: And?

Silameara: Next, there's Avatarofrage. For one thing, it isn't 5 percent of his power he has, it's a HALF OF A PERCENT. Sorry to those who it wasn't made clear to. And I mean both Naruto's chakra and Kyuubi's chakra. Finally, yes I will update soon.

Naruto: AND?

Silameara: I know, I know! Finally, there's wolvknight. Thanks, you really like the story? And for the last time, YES I WILL UPDATE SOON! -glares- Everyone who reviewed told me to update soon!

Naruto: Isn't that a good thing? It means they like the story. Dim-wit.

Silameara: HEY! THAT'S MY LINE! Wait… A good thing that they say that?… Oh…

Naruto: WELL WHO KNEW? -sighs- Are you seriously the one writing this? It seems like you must have had help, with brains like yours.

Silameara: HOW DARE YOU! I haven't had any help writing this! There a tons of crazy smart people in the world! Wait… That didn't sound right…

Naruto: Baka.
