Hello reader out there. I had to get another chapter out. I finished this chapter today for your enjoyment and hope you enjoy. Tell me any suggestions for the story.

*I do not own Naruto or any of the Characters*

Chapter 2: New Information

Naruto's Pov:

The first thing I knew when I woke up, is that every part of my body hurt. I felt as if I just got crushed by one of those big people who don't like the F word (1). I opened my eyes, but everything was blurry. When my vision cleared, I looked around and saw that I was in a room. And not just any room. This was the old man's office. I remember what it looks like from when he first brought me in here, after he found me and gave me my apartment. He lets me come here sometimes so he can take me to ramen. But how did I get here?

The last thing that I remember was being chased and attacked by those stupid villagers. They just came out of nowhere and pulled out a bunch of different weapons, and then they chased me into the end of an alleyway. After that, they just started cutting me with knives and broken sake bottles. It was the first time out of all the attacks that I felt like I was going to die. Then a silver haired ninja came out of nowhere, and knocked out all the villagers. After that I passed out.

'He was probably one of the old man's "special ninja",'I thought to myself, but I forgot what he called them. It sounded like he said AMBU (2) when he mentioned them. Either way, I will have to thank the silver haired AMBU later, whoever he was. Usually it's only Snake-neesan (3) that helps me with the villagers, so it's nice to know someone else cares.

My focus shifted and I realized someone was standing over me. I looked up and saw the old man's face, and I smiled. 'He must have brought me here to help me from the idiots outside.' I thought. He probably would've taken me to a hospital, but they won't treat any injuries that I get and just sneer at me.
I was knocked out of my thoughts when the old man spoke to me.

Sandaime Pov:

"Naruto-kun, how are you feeling" I asked

"I'm doing ok, but my arms and chest hurt" Naruto-kun responded

"yes, you will be sore for awhile after what some of the villagers did to you, but you will heal quickly" I told him sadly, as no child should have to deal with what my almost grandson has to go through.

"That's good" He told me "I was really scared, they just kept screaming and hurting me, but then a silver haired AMBU saved me. Usually they don't help me, even if I feel them when they're nearby. I'm gonna have to thank the nice ninja when I see him next."

I was stunned. I was angered that my ANBU did nothing the help Naruto, but more surprised to hear that Naruto can sense them, as ANBU are trained to be the best at staying hidden. Sensors were extremely rare, and have a valuable ability for any ninja. Perhaps Naruto had inherited it, as several Uzamaki have had the sensor ability.

"Yes, that ninja had to leave the village after he saved you, so I can relay your thanks to him. But Naruto-kun, how long have you been able to sense other ninja?" I inquired.

"Well... after I was kicked out of the orphanage, I started feeling a weird tingling coming from some people. When I didn't see anyone when I felt it, I looked where it was coming from and would sometimes see the masks of those AMBU guys" Naruto-kun said.

"First off" I told him kindly," It's pronounced A'N'BU, with an N. And second, your ability is quite rare, and is very beneficial to have as a ninja. You are able to sense chakra from other people, making it harder for them to hide from you."

He looked at me with a confused expression. "What does beneficial and chakra mean?" The whiskered blond asked

"It means that it is a great skill and trump card to have against other ninja, and chakra is the energy that all ninja have to make and use jutsu" I told him.

"Oh... like those weird red eyes those people have, who helped the villagers find me when I lived on the streets? I'm sensing their 'chakra' when they're coming?" He asked innocently.

My eyes widened at the new piece of information. Clearly my esteemed police was not only not doing its job, but was helping in the villagers hurt Naruto. 'I suppose I will have to talk to my police force when I return from my trip.' I thought to myself. I quickly recalled what I was planning on doing with Naruto: taking him with me to Suna.

"Naruto-kun, I will make sure you are taken care of and will punish those who hurt you accordingly, and I will explain chakra and your abilities later, but right now I have a question for you."

"What is it old man?" He asked.

I smiled at the nickname from the blond child.

"I have to leave on a trip to Suna in a few days on a diplomatic mission and-"

"But where will I stay. My apartment was attacked again last night and Snake-neesan told me that she will be gone for the next week. And you just said that the other ninja left today. Where will I stay!" He cried out, obviously terrified of being left with no protection while I was away.

I knew of his connection with Mitarashi and how she helped him from an attack several months ago. After that, Naruto and her became close and now he sees her as a sister, even coming to her home and sleeping over on nights where villagers tried to attack his apartment. 'Maybe Anko-san can be a potential teacher for Naruto-kun' I thought to myself. I put those thoughts away for future planning, and refocused on the task at hand.

" Naruto" I began. "Let me finish. Yes, I am leaving the village for a few days. And I decided to ask you if you would like to come with me?"

Naruto's Pov

My eyes widened at the old man's question. Go on a trip outside of the village! Go to a new place and see new things! And maybe even make some friends!

"I would love to!" I exclaimed.

No amount of soreness stopped me from running and jumping around the office in happiness. I could not wait to go to this Suna place the old man is talking about.

"Thank you so much jiji!"

Maybe I can find some cool skills and learn some 'jutsu' to become a ninja while we're there. He mentioned my sensing skill and how it was rare. I always wanted to be a ninja, and now I have a way to achieve it. I just hope I don't end up like those pale or red eyed people who act all high and mighty. I want to become a strong ninja without cheating and make new friends. I want prove to everyone that I can become a great ninja, maybe even Hokage like jiji!

I won't take this for granted. The old man always told me that a chace would come my way. In Suna, I can find what I am looking for.

No one's pov:

The Sandaime's eyes widened at the new name given to him by the little boy who was bouncing around the office of the Hokage tower. The whiskered blond stopped moving for a moment before running back to the Sandaime with determination in his eyes. Naruto looked and asked with a big smile.

"When do we leave?"

((End Chapter 2))

I did say I would update as often as I could. This chapter is mainly to build up some backstory before the trip to Suna. In later chapters, there will be polls on decision on the story including pairings.

(1) the Akimichi. They hate the word FAT

(2) He is 6, so he will mispronounce some words

(3) Anko Mitarashi: i feel she would be a good character in Naruto's life, despite her love of torture

Please leave a comment and on the story. I'm looking for a cover for the story, so I anyone has artwork skills, I would love a picture of Naruto and Gaara as kids.
