As Naruto slept he was having dreams of Liono fighting with the sword of omens and Naruto saw how he used it in many different battles.
When Naruto awoke he found himself in a stone room with a small window with bars on it and a single steel door on the far side of the room and he was on a stone bed. He set up and found a cup with water in it and he quickly drank it making himself cough.
The guards outside the door hearing the cough sent a signal to the Kazekage.
10 minutes later the door to the cell Naruto was in opened and Naruto saw Baki walk in along with a man in Kage robes and a hat but his face was hidden and Naruto thinking quickly bowed to the Kazekage.
The Kazekage said "I see you are quick to recognize a superior.....Baki here has told me you claim to have been the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune. Is this correct."
Naruto said "Yes."
The Kazekage said "What is your name boy."
Naruto said "Naruto Uzumaki."
The Kazekage eyes got wide a moment and said "I see.....how exactly did you lose the Kyuubi."
Naruto said "I...I had a sword and a claw looking glove when I was found."
The Kazekage said "Yes, we are holding it until I determine what to do with you."
Naruto bit his lip and said "It's what did it to me sir. The sword is called the sword of Omens and it's sort of a clan relic. The clan it belong to has died out but the sword chose me to restart the clan and it claimed that it can't be used by anyone who is not pure of heart so it said it killed the Kyuubi to make me pure."
The Kazekage said "Are you saying the sword is sentient."
Naruto said "No sir. The last lord of the Thundercats....that's the name of the clan the sword belong to. He said his clan was fighting some great evil and they used a jutsu similar to how the Yondaime sealed the Kyuubi into me but they sealed the evil away but all the members of his clan had their souls sealed in their weapons until someone came along who passed their test to restart their clan....For some reason I was selected and I've been slowly changing."
The Kazekage asked "What do you mean by changing."
Naruto looked at his hands and said "My hands are becoming clawed, I can see perfectly at night, I can talk to felines like the Inuzuka clan in Konoha can with dogs. My reflexes and speed are also increasing and I notice I'm about 3 inches taller then I was yesterday."
The Kazekage said "So your eyes have not always been slitted."
Naruto blinked and said "Their slitted now....no, they never been slitted before....are they still blue...is my hair still blond."
The Kazekage said "It's got some red in it now."
Naruto frowned and said "I see..."
The Kazekage asked "So why are you trying to get to the mountains of lightning country."
Naruto said "The sword....it showed me the ancient home of the Thundercats...I thought if there was any place I could find out if the Kyuubi was really gone then that is where I should start looking."
The Kazekage looked at Naruto and said "I tell you what Naruto. I have a proposition for you. You see, my youngest son, Gaara, is a Jinchuuriki like you were."
Naruto eyes got wide as the Kazekage said "But unfortunately the demon inside him has taken over him and now kills my people without a care in the world for it's own sick twisted pleasure."
Naruto saw Baki shoot a glare at the Kazekage back with a little fear on his face and the Kazekage said "It is a terrible thing for me to see my son body being used by the demon killing people for his own sick twisted fun but I can't bring myself to kill him to free his soul. It's been several years now since the demon took control and has killed several hundred of my people."
Naruto bit his lip and said "Are you sure the demon has taken control."
The Kazekage said "Yes. On every full moon he transforms into a 100 ft tall sand demon and my people have to hide in shelters to keep from being killed by it. If you would be willing to see if your sword could stop the demon like it did for you then I would be willing to let Baki here take you to the border like he requested so you could continue your journey. Would you try and save him for me." in a pleading voice.
Naruto took a deep breath and saw the worry on Baki face and said "I can try." causing Baki to close his eyes and the Kazekage said "Excellent. He is currently outside the walls of the village, Baki here can take you to where he is. Please, do your best to end my sons suffering." as he turned and shot a glare at Baki who said "I understand Kazekage-sama." and the Kazekage nods and leaves the room.
Naruto frowns and stood up and Baki said "Follow me." as he walked out of the room and after Naruto walked out he was handed his sword and glove and he slipped them on and thought "I think he's lying."
They walked through the village in silence for several minutes and Naruto asked "Is he really a demon like the Kazekage claimed."
Baki said "He has killed people like the Kazekage claimed and has taken the form of Shukaku on the nights of the full moon."
Naruto thought "But you avoided the question I asked if he really was the demon."
A few minutes later after leaving the village walls Baki stood on top of a sand dune and said "he's just at the corner of the village walls over there. I will let you take it from here." as he shushined away.
Naruto frowned and looked around and thought "There are ANBU looking guys on the wall watching me....looks like I don't have a choice." as he began to head toward where Gaara was.
When he got on the last sand dune he saw a boy about his age with red hair sitting in the shade of the village walls and he was mumbling to himself.
Naruto frowned and said "HEY." causing Gaara to look at him.
Gaara saw the sword on Naruto arm and asked "Have you come to prove my existence."
Naruto asked "What do you mean."
Gaara said "Why are you here."
Naruto rubbed his head and said "The Kazekage sent me here."
Gaara frowned and said "Then you have been sent to kill me. DIE." as he raised his hand and sand shot out from around Gaara at Naruto who went wide eyed and jumped back and rolled away as wave after wave of sand shot at him from Gaara.
Naruto frowned and grabbed the sword of omens and said "I don't want to hurt you."
Gaara said "You will prove my existence...mother wants your blood." as he sent more sand attacks at Naruto.
Naruto jumped back and said "Thunder...thunder....thunder.....Thundercats....HOOO." as the sword grew from a foot long to 3 foot long and the eye shoots into the sky several miles high showing a cougar head encased in red.
Naruto jumps back as a claw of sand shoots out where he was a moment before and he turns the eye toward Gaara and thought "Please work." as an energy beam shot out of the eye at Gaara who auto defense came up to block it but he screamed as he was slammed into the wall behind him as the blast burned a hole in the sand and hit Gaara in the shoulder.
Gaara said "Blood.....MY BLOOD...." as he quickly goes through hand signs and said "Force sleep no jutsu." as he falls asleep the sand begins to form around him and soon the form of Shukaku is seen standing over Naruto and Naruto thought "Shit."
Shukaku screams "Yes, I'm finally free and I see someone I want to kill." as he bends down and opens his mouth right in front of Naruto wind picks up around Naruto as Shukaku begins to inhale and Naruto screams as he is sucked inside of Shukaku body and down into his stomach.
Shukaku said "Now I shall crush you and drink your blood."
Naruto hearing this became scared when he heard the voice of Liono say "Call on the eye of Thundera again Naruto."
Naruto held the sword in front of him and screamed "Thunder....Thunder...THUNDER....THUNDERCATS....HOOOOOOO...." as he closed his eyes.
On the wall of the village the Kazekage frowned as he saw Naruto get swallowed and thought "Looks like the boy failed, not like I expected him to succeed anyways.....what's that." as a red glow could be seen coming from the stomach of Shukaku.
Naruto finding hes not dead yet looks up and saw the red eye beam shooting at the roof around him and he screams "HOOO...HOOO...HOOO...HOOO." and each time he screams it the beam blast further and further into the roof and finally burst through the wall of sand up through the body of Shukaku and when it gets to the neck of Shukaku it blows the head completely off the demons shoulders and Gaara who was on top begins to scream as the beam hits him and Naruto continues to screams "HOOO." over and over again as the sand falls around him and the beam keeps hitting Gaara and soon the beam shoots past him into the air as Gaara body falls to the sand below and Naruto find himself falling beside Gaara.
The sword of Omens reverts back to normal now that the danger has past and Naruto pants looking at the passed out form of Gaara when he hears a female shout of "Brother." as he turns and sees a blond hair girl just a few years older then him runs over to where Gaara is and she stops a moment and gently moves her hand toward Gaara and when she touches him her eyes go wide and she said "Please be OK brother." as she checks him and finds he is OK but then she notices the black marks under his eyes fading and Naruto coughs and the girl pulls a kunai out and she demanded "Who are you and why did you attack my brother."
Naruto started to say something when Baki said "Stand down Temari, the Kazekage ordered him to.....how is he."
Temari frowns as she hears this and she said "He appears to be just out but....the marks under his eyes are disappearing."
Baki moves next to Gaara and raises his shirt and said "The seal....it's destroyed."
Temari eyes got wide and Naruto said "So he's like me now."
Baki started to say something and the Kazekage who walked up said "If so then kill Gaara. He's no further use to me." making Naruto wide eyed.
Temari stood up quickly in front of Gaara body and said "But father he's..." as the Kazekage slapped her across the face knocking her to the ground.
Naruto quickly pulled out the sword of omens and got in between Temari and the Kazekage and the Kazekage said "You actually threatening me boy."
Naruto said "I won't let you kill Gaara or slap her again. I don't care if you are their father asshole."
The Kazekage went to strike Naruto when the eye of Thundera glowed and a shield appeared in front of Naruto stopping the Kazekage strike.
The Kazekage tried a few more times but couldn't hit Naruto and he said "Baki, I order you to kill them all."
Naruto looked at Baki who frowned and before he had a chance to say anything a roar was heard as a wall of flames appeared around Naruto, Gaara, and Temari and the flames began to form the shape of the Nibi no Neko who growled.
The Kazekage and Baki both jumped back and Nibi said "I heard you call my lord, what is your command." as she looked at Naruto.
Naruto who gulped and thought "He never said anything about being lord of DEMON cats." said "I won't let them hurt the girl or the boy anymore. If anyone tries to kill them."
The Kazekage glared at Naruto and then at Temari who was holding her face and looking at her father with hatred in her eyes and the Kazekage said "As of this moment I only have one child and he's a son. I hereby disown and banish both of you. Take them and leave these lands boy and never return or I will kill you all. I will also inform the Hokage as to where his missing ninja is so he can send the hunters after you as well as inform him about your attack on my person."
Nibi growled and said "Threaten my lord again mortal and I will destroy your village and feast on your child's bones in front of you before I eat you."
The Kazekage shushined away and Baki looked at them and said quietly "Please take care of them both Naruto." as he shushined away.
After they were gone Naruto turned to Nibi and said "Why are you here."
Nibi said "I heard your call for help and came running. We need to move quickly though because I knocked my vessel out when I came here....would you like me to carry you 3."
Naruto looked at Temari who looked scared and Naruto asked "Do you want to come with me....at least until you find someplace you want to stay."
Temari asked in a scared voice "Are you going to hurt Gaara or me."
Naruto said "No...Gaara attacked me before I could talk to him so I had no choice but to defend myself.....for what it's worth I'm sorry."
Temari bit her lip and said "Father....He won't wait long. He probably already has Dust ready to kill us the moment we leave."
Naruto said "Please take us out of here."
Nibi said "Then get on my back and hold on." as the flames left her body and showed regular fur.
Naruto walked over toward Gaara but Temari shook her head and grabbed him and Nibi laid down and they climbed on her back before Nibi took off running across the desert.
