A/N Lucky for you people, this is a very boring summer for me. Which means that I'm writing a lot of chapters. Oh yeah. I also wanted to say, that this fanfiction is a romance and humor, but so far, I haven't really done much of either. This is because while I'm writing the academy chapters, I'm setting the story up for the plot. After I finish them, and I should within the next two, we shall start going towards the actual story. And if I could, I'd also put in adventure as a theme. ^-^

Regular speech

Thoughts

Big ominous voices... such as the nine tailed fox.

About halfway through the third year, an event occurred that would forever effect the lives of everyonet in the world. It all led down to one human boy.

Naruto was minding his own business, walking down the street towards the academy, when an elderly man with a striped cane walked by and attempted to push him down. "Eh! You lil demon!"

Naruto, who was slightly amused, simply walked around the old man.

The next day, during class, a ninja with a mask that covered most of his face opened the door."Lord Hokage requests a meeting with young Naruto Uzumaki."

Iruka looked up at Naruto confused. Naruto was simply staring at the man looking very confused himself. All of a sudden he jumped up excitedly. "Yes! I don't have to take the test! Bye Hinata-Chan! Later Sasuke!"

He climbed down the steps, as Iruka and the man spoke. When Naruto got to the bottom, the man asked him to follow.

As they were leaving the classroom Iruka shouted after them. "Naruto! You'll have to make up the test!"

Naruto: ...

Once the two left the building, they started to walk. After a minute Naruto looked up at the man confused. "Isn't the Hokage office that way?" He said, pointing at the opposite direction they were going. "This is the path towards the gate."

The ninja continued walking but said "The Hokage asked to meet him at the gate. He didn't say why. But it seemed urgent."

Naruto smiled. "Maybe he's going to promote me to genin early cuz I'm so strong!"

Once they got to the gate, no one was there. The man turned to Naruto, pulled down his mask, and smiled. Naruto's only thought was "Thats a really big mole..." Before he was knocked out by the mysterious man and taken into the forest.

As the students were released by Iruka, he stopped Sasuke and Hinata.

"Could one of you stop by Naruto's house and give him this test to do.

Sasuke thought "It's barely an apartment... Much less a house..."

Hinata responded. "Yes Iruka-Sensei!" And she took the test.

When the two got to Naruto's apartment, they found it empty. Confused, the two headed towards the Hokage tower.

When they asked the Hokage about where Naruto went after they spoke, the Hokage said he had no idea what they were talking about. Once the two children relayed to them what happened earlier that day, he looked very worried. "Kakashi!" All of a sudden a ninja seemed to appear out of the walls.

"Please gather all of the jonin and chunin available, and have them search the woods, village, and beyond for Naruto. We simply can't let enemy nations have him. And also, you should summon the fanged vengeance hounds."

The man named Kakashi nodded and dissapeared.

Hinata was scared. "What happened to Naruto-Kun?!"

What scared Sasuke even more than the fact that Naruto was missing, was the fact that Hinata just now yelled. And it was at the Hokage.

The Hokage spoke calmly. "It would seem that a enemy ninja has taken Naruto for reasons unknown"

The two children looked at each other. Sasuke was the first to speak. "What can we do to help?"

The Hokage looked at the two and sighed. "This is a very dangerous situation. I simply can't allow two cadets to be endangered, no matter how advanced they are.

"B-But Hokage-sama! We can fight! We can-"

"That is enough! Even if I were too allow cadets to help, or even genin, I can't allow the Hyuga heiress, and our sole remaining Uchiha to fall into enemy hands. My answer is no. I think it would be best if you two went home."

Hinata looked angry, and Sasuke thoughtful.

As the two left Sasuke came up with an idea. "Hinata. No doubt they're watching us right now... What we need to do is..." He started to whisper even quieter.

"Go home, get somewhere where you know they can't see you. Make a bushin. Have it go back to lord Hokage, and dissapear when it gets to the tower. Hopefully they'll follow the bushins and leave us alone. Meet back at the gate. And also, use a henge to look like another Hyuga you know."

Hinata took it all in silently, and nodded. They both separated and followed the plan. They met at the gate. Sasuke looking like a dangerous looking man, Hinata like a middle aged Hyuga woman.

They both dropped the henge and quickly left the village.

"Hinata. Is anyone trailing us?"

Hinata activated the Byakugan and looked around. "N-No... but I see a d-dog jumping like a n-ninja. It seems to know where it's going..."

"A dog? Maybe you need to get you eyes checked Hinata... I'm pretty sure... What the hell?!"

With that, big bark bull, the largest of Kakashi's ninja dogs passed them.

"H-He seems to be going the same way as the s-smaller dog..."

Sasuke composed himself and calmly said "Perhaps we should follow them. Maybe they'll lead us to Naruto."

Hinata nodded. After about five minutes Hinata gasped, and fell.

Sasuke stopped and had to go back quickly to catch Hinata before she hit the ground.

"What is it?! What happened?!"

Hinata started to cry. "N-Naruto-Kun... ahead... O-O-One mile..." She said, pointing. The she passed out. Putting the girl on his shoulders, he quickly started to jump in the direction Hinata had indicated.

When Naruto woke up, he was surprised to find he was tied to a tree in the middle of the woods. "Hey! What the hell is this?!"

Naruto looked around, but saw no one. He felt a bump on his head and tried to remember what happened. "That's right... The mole guy got me... But what does he want with me?!"

A few minutes later, he heard rustling. "Hey! I'm over here!" he shouted, hoping he would be rescued.

The man that had kidnapped him came into view. He did indeed have a rather large mole on his lower left cheek.

"Alright you demon! You'll pay for what you did!"

Naruto was more than a little confused. "What did I do?"

This seemed to make the man angrier. "Yesterday, my grandfather was walking down the street, when you pushed him down and stole his wallet! That wallet had his prized lucky dollar! He became so upset, that he is now sick in bed.!"

Now Naruto was very confused. "Lucky... dollar? And what grandfather? I didn't push anyone down!"

The man walked over to Naruto and kicked in the gut. Hard. "You little liar! You think I'd believe anything you say?!"

All of a sudden Naruto remembered something. Wincing in pain he spoke. "D-Did this grandfather of yours look... Old? And have a striped cane?"

The man gave Naruto a rather evil smile. "So you admit it, eh?"

Naruto shook his head quickly. "No !No! I think you may have the wrong info, becau-"

This time he was slapped. "Shut up you stupid demon fox. Even if what you say is true, You killed my father eleven years ago!"

Naruto was even more confused now. And he was starting to get scared. "N-No offense sir, but I'm only eleven years old, and unless I murdered someone when I was a baby, I don't think you have the right guy. So maybe you should just let me go an-"

This time the man drove the point of a kunai knife into the top of Naruto's hand. "I think you should be quiet and stop lying. I will make you pay nine tailed fox!"

Nine tailed fox? And with that thought in his mind, he started to scream.

Many hours later, ninja started to look for Naruto.

In order to make sure they couldn't be found out, the man put a sound barrier around Naruto and himself, and a genjustu that made people turn the opposite way within coming two miles of the spot they were at. It did not affect Ninja dogs, and since Sasuke and Hinata were following them, they were safe.

The dogs were soon falling into traps. This showed Sasuke what to dodge and be on the lookout for, but it meant that there would be no help from the tough looking summons.

After Hinata feinted and Sasuke knew the approximate location Naruto was at, it took him about two minutes to get there. Once there, he saw Naruto, blood dripping from several deep cuts all over his body. He had no shirt or jacket on, and his stomach was riddled with bruises and cuts.

"What the hell is"

All of a sudden a kunai knife shot from the side. Sasuke managed to dodge it just in time. The man jumped down from a tree.

"Who the hell are you?! Why did you take Naruto?!" shouted Sasuke.

The man looked at him with calculating eyes. "This boy... He is Sasuke Uchiha. I should be wary of the him... " That is none of your concern. Leave, and I won't harm you or the girl.

Sasuke smirked. "You think I'm afraid of you? A guy who betrayed his village... Simply to torture an innocent child?!"

The man stared at Sasuke. "I did not betray the village. Nor did I torture an innocent young child. He is a demon who must pay for what he has done! And if you're going to get in the way, so be it." The man's chakra spiked, and he charged Sasuke.

Sasuke did a few seals. "Katon! Fireball justu! Blaze of glory!" A huge firball shot from Sasuke's mouth. When it disappeared, the man was gone. "Where the hell..." Suddenly he was pulled downwards. He heard a laugh from below.

"Nice try little Uchiha. Earth style! Groundhog decapitation technique!"

Sasuke was pulled down, until only his head remained above ground. The pressure made it so he couldn't move.

The man started to walk towards Hinata.

"Don't touch her!" yelled Sasuke.

The man laughed. "Or what? You'll yell at me again?" The man's chakra spiked again. "I could kill you anytime I want you brat! But I want to keep Konoha's strongest clan alive. As I said before, I'm not a traitor."

Sasuke was very confused at this point. "The village won't let you back in after what you've done!"

The man looked at him for a moment then spoke. "Perhaps the Hokage won't... But many in the village will thank me. Eventually, I'll be welcomed back. Now be silent or I will kill your friend here." "The sound barrier is wearing off It took up too much chakra..."

He started to walk back towards Hinata. "The byakugan would fetch a rather large amount on the black market..."

"YOU! STAY AWAY FROM HINATA-CHAN! OR I'LL KILL YOU!"

The man wirled around to see Naruto, very much awake, and very much healed. He still had cuts, but they were all closed and hardly visible. The most terrifying aspect was the red aura around him. And his slit crimson red eyes.

The man fell backwards. "Th-the demon!"

Naruto closed his eyes and pushed. He easily broke free of the rope binding him and charged the man. Just as he was about to slash him, a voice was heard from behind.

"N-N-Naruto-Kun?" Behind Naruto was a very scared looking Hinata.

Naruto saw the fear in her eyes, and immediately calmed down. As the red chakra dissapted around him Naruto started to fall and close his eyes.

"Naruto-Kun!"

"There they are!"

"Someone get the man!"

"Isn't that the Uchiha boy? What's he doing here?"

"Hey! It's princess Hyuga!"

As many different voices were heard, Naruto fell asleep.

Naruto opened his eyes. He appeared to be in a sewer. He looked around. "Hinata-Chan? Sasuke?"

His voice echoed. He started to walk. After about ten feet, he felt a wave of horrible chakra. "What is this feeling?!"

All of a sudden a roar so loud, it knocked Naruto off his feet sounded further down the room. "What the hell is that?!"

Naruto slowly walked towards where the roar had come from. At the end off the hallway was a massive room. At the end of the room was a giant gate bigger the the Hokage monument cliff side itself.

Naruto glimpsed two giant red eyes from within the gate. "Wha- What is this?"

A dark ominous voice sounded from within the cage. "Kid... Come closer..."

Naruto slowly inched his way towards the gate. When he got there he could see the creature more clearly.

"A furry cat monster? Where the hell am I?!"

"A little closer boy..."

Naruto obeyed. All of a sudden, a giant claw came down and almost hit him. "GAHH!"

"This gate. It has a very powerful seal... It is very perplexing..."

Naruto stared up and down the creature. All of a sudden he noticed the things waving around behind the creature. "One... two... three..."

Naruto backed up quickly. "Y-You're the Nine tailed fox!"

"How smart of you to notice. Now why have you come here? What do you want?!"

Naruto glanced around nervously. "I-I don't know how I came here. Or where this even is. Or how your even alive! The fourth killed you!"

The fox cackled. "Most would be able to sense that they're within their own mind... But you seem not to know how to use your's..."

Naruto grew a tick mark. "You stupid fox! I can use my mind! And what the hell do you mean 'in their own mind' ?!"

To say that the Kyuubi was surprised was a bit of an understatement. "This boy just yelled at me..." "Kid! I am the Nine Tailed Fox! I am chakra itself. I cannot killed so easily! The fourth sealed me into a baby and trapped in this confounded room!"

All of a sudden, the past eleven years of torture made sense. "Y-Your'e sealed... Inside of me!"

The fox laughed. "Stupid little boy. Never found out why no one likes him. And now it makes sense!"

Tears stung at Naruto's eyes.

But then he smiled. "People like me! Lord third! Hinata-Chan! Sasuke! They- They're all my friends. And now that I know it was you and not me that made people angry, I can finally be happy!"

The fox took this in without a word. After a moment he laughed again. "The people you seek to protect will still hate you. The fact that you know this doesn't change a thing! They think that you, the boy attacked and killed the villager's. If they knew the truth about me, they might think of me as a victim..."

"Huh? What does that mea-"

"Enough. Wake up now boy! GO!"

Shuddering Naruto woke up, to find himself in a hospital room. "I have... The nine tailed fox sealed in me..."

I'll leave it at that for now! Thanks again to those who take time to review! ^-^
