Anyways please Read, Review, and I really hope all of you will enjoy the story.

Through out the night the crocodile kept watch even long after his summoner had fallen asleep. Eventually he remembered something very important that he had to do in order to make sure his summoner would be safe. In annoyance he summoned other crocodiles to help keep watch for any possible dangers that might try to harm their summoner, while he left to take care of a very important task that needed to be done. The other crocodiles kept a constant watch over their summoner almost daring anyone or anything to just try harming their summoner.

When morning came Zen stretched with a yawn, only for his crocodile friend to rise up out of the water with a large fish in its jaws. The crocodile walked over to Zen and dropped the very dead fish onto his lap. The other crocodiles seemed to take this as their hint to leave, and they all vanished in puffs of smoke to return to the summoning world. Zen sighed as he looked down at the fish on his lap.

"Yum, fish for breakfast...again. Thanks." Zen said very slowly as he stared at the dead fish with distaste. He was sick of eating fish. He been eating fish for the past few days and was honestly sick of it.

"Just eat it, brat. You need your strength for the day. After all, you are going to be rather busy, seeing how you need to gain approval to join the academy from the Hokage, find a place to live, get some new clothes to blend in, locate the jinchuriki and befriend it." The crocodile said with a glare as he listed what needed to be done. "Also when you speak with the Hokage, you will show him respect."

"Got it...busy day trying to blend in a village, where no one has ever seen or heard of me before. Easier said than done. Also don't be my fowl mouth, disrespectful, quick temper self, am I right?" Zen said only for the crocodile to grin evilly.

"Exactly...I think your finally learning how to use that brain of yours, instead of just using it to grow that messy fur out of the top part of your head."The crocodile said making Zen's eye twitch in irritation.

"It's called hair, and it's not fur! Lastly I do have have a brain, and know how to use it!" Zen snapped as he lifted the fish off his lap to set it down on a rock as he pulled out a kunai from his backpack to clean the fish. Besides grabbing a large stick to use to cook the fish over the fire. The crocodile rolled his eyes at this as Zen started up his small campfire again.

"Sure you do Zen, sure you do. Look I managed to slip in some documents into the hokage's office last night. So Konoha now has a record of you, being one of there orphans, true most of the information in those documents are fake. However those documents do have some very true facts about you inside them. By the way it wasn't easy slipping those records in but I managed to do it." The crocodile said in a smug tone.

"Wait a minute...How did you even get any documents in the first place in order to pull that off?" Zen asked with narrowed eyes as he started cleaning and cooking his fish.

"Your mother gave them to me, for safe keeping before we left. Since she knew you would screw something up, somehow. She did it to give you some kind of a background so you can't be tracked back to her, and it's there to cover your ass in the long run, should any type of suspicion comes up." The crocodile answered with a huff.

"And you were going to tell me all this, when!?" He snapped as he glared at his crocodile.

"I just told you, so why are you getting all bitchy on me, all of a sudden?" His crocodile asked in irritation.

"Never mind...Fang." Zen said sighing. "Thanks, for helping me out."

"Tch...No problem brat. I really hate to say this but in a lot of respects, you're a lot like your old man." Fang said calmly.

"My old man, huh?" Zen asked softly with a sad exspression. "Hey Fang, you knew him...what was he like?"

"Your old man, was a very powerful man, maybe even dangerous depending on how you looked at him. He was only loyal to the people he cared about. He self taught himself how to be a ninja, by asking rougue ninjas for training by giving them useful information in return or sending hunter nins off their trail by false information. Never once stepped foot inside a ninja academy, so he had no loyality or ties to any of ninja villages. Picked up all kinds of jutsus from rougue ninjas including a few different forms of the clone jutsus. Anyways he caught our attention, and earn our trust after he saved one of us from becoming someone's dinner. He eventually became our summoner which was latter passed to you, when he died. In all honesty, he was more respectful to his elders, wasn't a foul mouth brat, wasn't as reckless as you are, and never had a quick temper." Fang said calmly as Zen sent him a dirty look. "Truth hurts. Doesn't it, pipsqueak?"

"Who are you calling a pipsqueak, you walking skin purse on legs!" Zen snapped in anger as he pointed the blood cover kunai at Fang. Fang's eyes widen and then narrowed in rage at what was said.

"I'm a what?!" Fang snarled as he glared at Zen as he gave a threatening growl.

"A walking skin purse on legs!" Zen snarled back.

"Why you disrespectful little brat! I should eat you, here and now!" Fang hollered in rage as he bared his fangs.

"Just try it, scaley! I promise, I'll give you indigestion for the rest of your miserable life, besides the lovely fact that I would haunt you forever!" Zen snapped in rage. The two glared at each other as they were both growling as they seemed to be waiting for one of them to make the first move. The fish that was cooking was ignored and it was starting to burn.

"Your fish is burning." Fang said with a evil smirk as he smelt burnt fish.

"What?" Zen asked blinking. Before he turned to check on his fish, only to yell as he moved his fish quickly off the fire. "Damn it! I hate over cooked fish especially burnt fish. Fuck."

"Well brat, whose fault was that?" Fang asked smugly in amusement.

"Shut up, Fang!" Zen snapped at Fang before his face became serious as well as distant.

"Now what's wrong with you?" Fang asked as he snorted while watching his summoner.

"Fang, how did my father die? Mother never told me, and wont answer my questions about my old man." Zen asked softly.

Fang frowned at that as he closed his eyes as memories replayed in his mind before they opened to stare at him. Of all the questions Zen could have asked Fang wasn't fully prepared for this question. However he would answer it to the best of his ability and reveal what he could until Zen was much older to understand everything. "He was killed by the snake summoner. The snake summoner's name is Orochimaru, he is a sennin who was originally from this village. However Orochimaru eventually betrayed his village and is now seens a S rank rougue ninja, and is a very dangerous man. I wont tell you how your old man died exactly, not until you reach Chunin. Besides the boss has a very old score to settle with Manda for what happened."

Zen's eyes harden at this as they gained a deadly glint in them. "Orochimaru, huh?"

"That's right." Fang said softly as he watched Zen in concern as he also felt Zen's rage radiating from his body.

"Well, the old bastard hasn't seen just how dangerous I can be, and when I find him...I'm going to make him wish that he was never born." Zen said in deadly tone. Fang's eyes widen at this before they clearly showed his irritation and annoyance. Fang very quick spun around using his tail to smack Zen, very hard across the back of his head making him yell in pain. Zen held his head in pain as the hot fish landed on his lap. He ignored the pain of the hot fish on his lap since his head hurt more then the pain of hot food landing on his lap. "Ow! What the fuck, Fang?!"

"Are you an idiot!? Ororchimaru would skin you alive, pipsqueak! You're not strong enough to deal with someone at that level. Hell, your father was able to keep up with someone at a kage level, and yet Orochimaru was able to slaughter him. Not even your forbidden arts and voodoo abilities, that your father never could fully master, will be a match for Orochimaru! So do not engage him! Do you hear me!?" Fang yelled in rage as well as in a deadly tone.

"Fine, I'll avoid Orochimaru at all costs. At least until I'm at a level, where I know I can easily kill the old bastard." Zen grumbled.

"Why do I bother?!" Fang asked as he stared up at the sky to see if the answer was up their or something. "Call me if you need me, brat. Also remember to smile, be polite, respectful, don't cause any problems and above all you must control your temper!" Fang snapped before vanishing in a puff of a smoke. Zen shook his head as he began eating his over cooked, and slightly over burnt fish with a grimance. Once he was done eating, he fully put out the fire before he stood up as he brushed himself down.

"This is going to be rather long day. I really hope that I don't mess this up or else Fang and the others will personally kill me." Zen grumbled as he grabbed his backpack and started walking into the main part of the village. No one paid that much attention to him as he was walking. He ignored them for the most part as well. This gave him the chance to get use to the village, and check the place out without causing a scene or drawing attention to himself. Also it gave him time to figure out how he should talk to the Hokage and convince him he was a good enough to join the academy.

While he was walking around he was startled by a seven year old boy with blond hair, whisker like markings on his face with percing blue eyes, while wearing way too much orange, had suddenly ran pass him. The boy had almost literally crashed into Zen when he ran pass him. Zen had insteantly noticed how the boy appeared to be in panic state of mind, as he watched how the boy hid around a corner to hide from something or someone. Zen blinked in confusion at this.

What the hell was that all about? He wondered as he looked away from the boy's hiding place to continue on his way. This doesn't concern me, I need to stay focus on my own problems for now at least.

"Hey kid, did you see the demon run by here?" A man asked growling with three other adults standing behind him. Zen blinked at them as he was pulled out of his own thoughts. Before he could answer, the heavy stench of alcohol hit his nose. Zen's body tensed slightly at this as he relised the horrible smell was coming from these men, besides sensing the dark aura that they possessed. It clearly showed they were up to nothing good. Zen hated dealing with drunks more than anything. He would honesty choose his own mother, than dealing with a group of idiots who were drunk, and that was honesty saying a lot. Especially if anyone knew Zen's mother personally, they would honesty swear she makes this Orochimaru guy, seem as harmless as a new born crocodile.

"A demon huh?" He asked slowly as he crossed his arms. He had a weird feeling wash over him at that very moment. The blond hair boy that he just saw, might be the Jinchuriki or these guys were so drunk they were seeinging things. At the moment it didn't really matter to Zen, since he had no patience for drunks, and hated them more than anything. This was due to the lovely fact that his mother, was a rather violent drunk who always took her frustrations out on him. Than again his mother was always cruel and violent. Being drunk seemed to only increase her evil and make her even more violent besides dangerous.

"Well, have you seen the demon?" One of the other drunks demanded as Zen had to calm his temper and regain his focus on the situation.

"What kind of idiots are you guys?! Hahaha! The only demons I see, are you lousy drunks." He laughed only to have the closest drunk grab him by the collar of his shirt, and yank him off the ground. Meanwhile the blond hair boy known as Naruto, was watching all this from his hiding place in concern and was startled at how this person was in a way protecting him.

"Listen kid, we aren't in any mood for your shit, did you see the demon or not!?" He snarled. Zen's eyes narrowed as he glared with hate filled eyes as they narrowed dangerously at the group of drunks infront of him. Zen then kicked outwards which caused him to break free insteantly from the drunk who was holding him just as he jumped back to put some distance between them. He than quickly bit down into his thumb viciously to draw blood. "Summoning jutsu!" He yelled slamming his hand to the ground in front of him. Insteantly two large crocodiles appeared roaring in rage as they hissed angrily.

The drunks insteantly moved back in fear from the two deadly reptiles before them. Naruto's blue eyes widen with a look of surprise and disbelief as he continued watching. "What the hell is your problem, kid!?" A drunk yelled in fear.

"My problem is that I can't stand drunks, and neither can my crocodiles! I suggest you idiots run away, and stay the hell away from me or else you idiots can become crocodile chow, for all I care. It's your move and I do hope you choose wisely!" Zen hissed in a deadly tone as he glared at them with burning hate filed eyes. The crocodiles snarled as their jaws snapped in warning.

The four drunks insteantly paled at the sight of the crocodiles as they opened their wide jaws, to show that they were very serious about eating them. They hissed and snapped their jaws while growling. "You can't attack us!" The drunk leader of the groups said with a smirk. "We are civillians, and ninjas can't attack us!" He laughed looking brave as he took a half step foreward.

Zen smirked before he let out a truely evil sounding laugh, that honesty made their hair stand on end as fear gripped their hearts tightly. Naruto gulped in fear as he continued watching this. "Oh but I can, for you see...I'm not a ninja you pathedic fools. I am very much a civilian just like you idiots are. Only I been training like crazy, so I can hopefully enter the academy. Since i'm not a ninja or even an academy student yet, I'm in the safe zone to kick your asses without too much of a problem or getting into serious trouble! Anyways I gave you fools a chance to run away, now face the consequences! Mawahahaa! It's dinner time boys!" Zen laughed evilly as the two crocodiles licked their jaws and lundged at the drunks. The idiots screamed as they began tripping over their feet as the crocodiles snapped their jaws but did not chase after them.

Zen watched them run in amusement as they were screaming words that no one could understand. Words were blended together as they were speaking way to fast to hear or understand properly because of their fear besides the fact they were also drunk. The crocodiles seemed to calm down and were watching in amusement with sly grins on their faces. They turned to face their summoner.

"Heehee...thanks guys." Zen said with light laugh as he rubbed the two crocodiles on their heads, once the drunks had disappeared from sight. The two crocodiles then busted out laughing.

"No problem." The crocodile on the left laughed.

"That was fun, lets do it again!"The other crocodile said laughing.

"We'll see...you two better go now. Also don't tell Fang, what happened." Zen said grinning like a evil Cheshire cat.

"Latter Zen, and no promises." The two said as they vanished in puffs of smoke. Zen sighed at this.

"Evil crocs..." Zen grumbled as Naruto was starring wide eyed at the boy, who had not given away his hiding place to those guys. Zen sensing someone watching him glanced back over to Naruto who just came out from his hiding place. Zen then turned to face him as he gave him a friendly grin. "See ya around. Also let's just keep this between us, okay?" He said with a wink before quickly dashing away not waiting for Naruto's response.

Naruto just blinked in confusion at what just happened. Naruto had no idea who that boy was and didn't reconise him at all. He also didn't know know what to make of him. However the boy was pretty cool, on how he summoned those crocodiles to scare those drunks away. Who was that guy? Naruto wondered just as Iruka appeared behind him silently. Naruto was so lost in his own thoughts that he never even noticed his sensei who approached him.

"Oh Naruto, I found you." Iruka said slowly in a creepy voice making Naruto's face drain of color. Just as Iruka's hand landed on his shoulder softly and then gripped his shoulder tightly.

Zen continued on his way to the Hokage's tower without a care. He had put some distance between the spot where he encountered the drunks, and where he currently was now. He slowed his running so that he was now walking calmly to the Hokage's tower. However he almost jumped out of his skin, when a scream was heard in the direction he just came from. Zen paused in mid step and looked behind him in concern.

Should I go back and see if he's okay? He wondered as he debated about it. Nah, I'm sure he's fine...he's survived this long in this crazy village, I'm sure he can handle it just a little longer. Besides it's none of my concern. With that in mind he headed straight for the Hokage's tower, and went inside the building.
