Recap:

" Your free now."

" Yes. But, I will not leave you yet. I have a request to train you by Aito."

" I don't have a choice."

" No, you don't. ...You aren't that dence, huh?"

" You don't have a body yet, huh?"

" Quiet, newborn. Now go find a lake. You smell of human. It reeks."

" How can you smell?"

He didn't get an answer. Walking from the nest of leaves, he thought of his new life. He had lost his way but a new path is his Gain.


The hardened expression on the teens face softened as he heard the words that seemed to come from the heavens.

"Take a break. You can stop. There is nothing else I can teach you until Aito says I don't have to hold back. You now have four months."

It had been two years since his training began and he had gone through a remarkable change. He was no longer the boy of Konoha's demise and nothing more. Now, he was his own person. He was now a Demon. Kyuubi was a slave driver but it was worth it.

"I'm not ready yet...to see him-I mean."

"No, Naruto. Your not."

Over the years, they had gotten closer. It was that or have the blond turn into a hermit and isolate him self forever.

"Are you going to do it now? Lock them away?"

"Yes I'm afraid so. But in two months I'll come for you. For the first two months, you have that time to get the Leaves to find you. Try and deal. You have been through worse than this. It pains me too, Naruto. Bear with me, son."

Some might say, their relationship resemble that of father and son. The fox spirt continued.

"Bear with me. Pain will be felt. Tears will be shed. Feelings will be pushed away. But, you need to remember. It doesn't matter how much pain you've went through; it matters of how you got through it. I may lock them away but, you will always live by these words. Now, meditate and make your memories-good and bad-flow in spirals through your head. It will be over soon. When you wake, you will be in the pile of leaves we started in."

"Yes, Father."

The blond felt wind swirl around him; lifting him up. Fire shooting outwards under him. The flames lasted for days around him. When the eyes lids lefted they stared at the trees around him. The last thoughts in his mind slowly disappearing.

'He will lock away my Memories'


In this village of leaves, a young demon stayed awake; staring at the new moon before his eyes. Shadows moved along the walls.

"The walls have ears. Don't trust your isolation. You will be haunted. They will hear your tears hit the floor as blood spalts against your face. Such is the life of a Demon, a ninja. Not even your tears can quiet insane screams...Aito. ... Is it time already?"

"How's life killin ya?"

"Slowly. Now, answer the question."

"Kyuu was right. Ya neva did learn manners did ya?"

" What? ANSWER MY DAMN QUESTION, please."

" Yes you're ready. Are ya bipoler?"

" No. it's just these fucking memories. They're giving me a headache."

" ...Ya's wanted to know which one of my parents was human?"

" You trust me now?"

" ...Yea. It was my mother. She was a civilen but, she knew how to fight with a kitchen knife, I tells ya that."

" If born from the father, she will bear strong heirs. If born from the mother, weak heirs will be beared."

" Ya's wanted to know how strong I was? But, I can tell ya's this: that saying is full of shit."

" No. I wanted to know how hard you worked to get to where you are today. You've worked hard. I can tell by the emotions you give off in your voice. When are we leaving, Aito?"

"Three days. So how's this village been killin ya?"

" It's always the Same."
