Ok I felt kind of bad I didn't update for a while so I made the chapter a little longer then the others, And I know I said this story would follow the manga, I met the large events but with my own twist, them being magical creatures and all, so here is chapter four,
to tell you all the truth I accualy done with this chapter months ago but didn't relize it, meaning if forgot the story till my friend mentioned it today opps.
Don't own Naruto.
Chapter four:
Kyuubi held Naruto the next morning as Shukaku carried Gaara. They stood at the gates as the sand demon left.
"Be back soon, these two need each other" growled Kyuubi to Shukaku who just waved him off.
"Yeah, Yeah" Kyuubi sighed as Naruto waved wildly at his friend who just gave a simple wave back.
As Shukaku vanished Kyuubi noticed the sad look in his eyes.
"Hey cheer up Kit, it will be fine," the boy still looked sad "tell you what, I know this little place in the village your mother loved to go to, it sells ramen. Let's go get some."
Naruto nodded as the two headed to the ramen stand; Kyuubi not realizing what he had just done.
Ichiraku ramen was run by an old man and his daughter. He smiled a little nervously as Kyuubi entered but he shrugged it off, he was used to serving to demons and elves. It was who was with Kyuubi that caught him off guard; a little boy with bright blue eyes and even bright hair. He wore a simple shirt and pants, the shirt slightly too big for him. He had whisker marks on his face much like the Kyuubi.
"Hello Lord Kyuubi, what can I get for you and your friend?" he asked the demon lord.
Kyuubi looked at the menu, knowing Naruto didn't know all the different flavors.
"My Grandson and I will have a pork ramen" he finally said as Naruto stared around in amazement.
The old man did a double take,
"Grandson" he blinked rabidly trying to wrap his mind around it.
"Yes, Grandson" Kyuubi's eyes narrowed to see how the human would react. So far the people in the village didn't seem to like him; he saw that as he walked the stares the boy received and the glares from demons, and a few elves.
"Alright then" the Old man said nervously and returned to making the ramen. The ramen was served quickly and when Naruto took a bite, his eyes widened. The shop owners and Kyuubi watched him in interest till he grinned and shouted
"This is the best thing I ever had!" he shouted and began to eat faster.
The three stared at him in shock before the old man smiled, the kid was alright.
"Lord Kyuubi" a soft voice spoke and the fox demon turned.
Standing at the entrance was a female Dark elf, he two sons standing beside her. She had long black hair, and dark eyes, her skin pale. Her oldest son had cold black eyes and black hair in a ponytail. Her five year old son had black hair much like a chickens butt and bright black eyes.
"Hello Lady Mikoto, Itachi, and Sasuke" he said smiling.
The three entered and ordered. Mikoto turned to him and said
"Who is the little one?" she asked. Both noticed Sasuke also looking at the bright blonde boy wolfing down the ramen.
"He is Naruto, my grandson."
Mikoto looked startled before smiling.
"That's nice, Hello Naruto" she waved at the boy as he looked at her. He waved back and said
"I love ramen, it's the best, hi lady"
Mikoto laughed at the boy and said
"My name is Mikoto, these are my sons, Itachi and Sasuke" she pointed to the two.
Naruto who had stopped eating looked at the two boys. The oldest, nine year old Itachi had on a strange head band and just nodded to the boy. Sasuke, who seemed to be at his age, gave an almost shy wave.
"Hi I am Naruto"
"Hn" Itachi said finishing his ramen
"Hi" said Sasuke looking at the strange boy.
Naruto zoned in on the headband and said
"Itachi-san what is that on your forehead"
Itachi lifted his hand to his head subconsciously before saying
"I am a ninja, it's my headband"
Naruto turned to Kyuubi
"Grandpa Kyuubi what is a ninja."
"A person training in the art of fight and protecting" was the demons response.
Naruto nodded and said
"Could I be a ninja?"
The fox lord seemed to think about before nodded and said
"I don't see why not, Sasuke is going to be enrolled in the academy soon as well right" he turned to the dark elf.
Mikoto nodded with a smile
"Yes next year" she replied.
Kyuubi stood and paid for his and Naruto's [four] bowls of ramen. Naruto stood as well recognizing the signal.
"It was nice speaking with you again; please give my regards to your husband." He said bowing her head
Mikoto nodded her head as well and said
"I will, it was nice to meet you Naruto, maybe we will see more of each other" she smiled
"Yeah" Naruto smiled back and waved at the two boys, Sasuke the only one waving back.
Kyuubi grabbed the boys hand and lead him away, back to the temple on the Hokage Mountain. As the walked under it, Kyuubi stopped and pointed to one of the faces.
"Do you know who that is Naruto"
He looked at the fourth head his grandfather was pointing to. He looked back at Kyuubi and shook his head in a negative.
"No"
"That Naruto is your Father, the fourth Hokage."
Naruto looked up in Awe at the statue and asked
"What's A Hokage?"
"The best and strongest ninja in the village, they are in charge of keeping everyone in the village safe"
Naruto still didn't take his eyes of the mountain
"And was my dad a good Hokage"
"One of the best" Kyuubi said wondering where the boy was going with this.
Naruto's grin was ear to ear as he looked at the fox demon and said
"Grandpa Kyuubi, I am going to be Hokage" he gave a thumb up to the shocked Kyuubi.
Shukaku wrapped the head dress tighter around Gaara as the wind whipped around, the Suna gates were up head and he wasn't sure what their reaction would be. He passed the guards who stared at him. Most of the inhabitants in Suna were Jackals, a few coyotes, some humans and other random Demons. He passed the Kazekage building; he scowled seeing the Kazekage himself staring down at him from the building. He was so distracted by the man he didn't see the other person who saw the boy in his arms, because the cloth covering him had slipped.
Shukaku carried a sleeping Gaara up the steps to his temple. He found it ironic that every time he has entered a village with Gaara, the boy was always asleep. Unlike his fire counterpart he kept servants in his home, they made the house seem less lonely sense the death of his daughter and son. He placed a sleeping Gaara on small chair where the boy curled into a tighter ball and stayed asleep.
He went and found one of the jackal servants in his home to find out exactly what happened to Gaara.
Gaara awoke a little later to see a tan dog with pointed ears balancing a tray on its head. There was a glass of water and a plate of fruit. He blinked as the animal slid the tray in his lap and walked away.
He bit into the fruit as he looked around. It was nothing like the temple in Konoha. The floor was mats much like the temple but the walls were a desert like brown with wide colored tails painted on the walls in blues, reds and gold.
"So your awake, don't see the point its night." He heard the voice of Shukaku and turned to him.
The man was in a louse sleeping kimono, he had one hand tucked in the sleeve and hanging over the opening showing his chest.
"Sleep well" he asked the five year old who nodded mouth full of fruit. "Come with me, I have a room picked out for you why we stay here"
The boy nodded and followed the demon to the room. The room had a soft looking futon laid on the floor and it was obvious just an extra room. Gaara made his way to the bedding and collapsed on it. The soft cotton lulled him back into a state of sleep quite quickly.
Shukaku looked surprised, he guessed Gaara was more tired then he thought. He gave a laugh and headed to his own room. He didn't have much luck in finding out about Gaara as he didn't know much about the boy, maybe tomorrow he could coax something things out of him.
It was around midnight when Shukaku left his room dressed, his sword drawn, he realized he had made a mistake walking through the village with Gaara like that. He could hear the angry villagers and ninja outside his house; calling out for the boy in his care.
He looked at the Jackal guards and growled out an order.
"Guard the perimeter and the boys room, no one but me gets in." he then stepped outside the house.
He glared at the people, the humans shaking a bit.
"What are you doing here?" he growled looking rather threatening.
One brave ninja walked forward, he was a coyote demon.
"You have the half child with you, the Kazekage ordered its banishment, and you bring it back into the village."
"Half demon, uhhh so who are its parents" the sand demon asked
"Lady Karura gave birth to him and died in child labor"
Shukaku's eyes glowed red, if Karura had this boy that meant he was the son of the Kazekage, which meant Gaara was his grandson. Shukaku growled, his demonic Chakra rising making the people back away.
"Come anywhere near my grandson and I will kill you all. It seems you were misinformed, if lady Karura, my daughter had this child, then your Kazekage is the father,"
The villagers whispered in one another and Shukaku used this moment of calm distraction
"Get away from my Temple now" he stated while signaling to the guards.
The Jackals growled at the people backing them away from the temple while Shukaku stared smugly when a Kunai flashed passed his head. Some ninja who had been lying in wait jumped forward and through shuriken and Kunai at the temple, through the windows, and at him. Shukaku growled and with a wave of his hand, sand flung at the people knocking them over, but more took their place. Shukaku cursed and went back inside and to Gaara's room.
The little boy was sitting up wide eyed, a few kunai had gotten into his room and he was staring at the door. The moment he saw Shukaku he ran to him. Shukaku picked up the boy and held him close.
"Its ok Gaara, I will protect you" now that he focused on it he could smell the little bit of demon in the boy's blood.
Shukaku held Gaara's head to his shoulder and with a signal to the servants and guards vanished in a swirl of sand. The sand lord reappeared outside the village gates and began to run, at demonic speed.
"Keep your eyes closed and Head down Gaara" he told the boy who nodded, to scare to speak.
Shukaku sighed in relief as the gates of Konoha came view. He frowned and jumped over the now closed gates and made his way to the home of the Kyuubi. He knocked on the door and waited. After a few moments Kyuubi opened it and looked shocked. He let the demon in
"What happened?" he asked leading the man to a room, Naruto was sleeping on the futon in the room.
Kyuubi laid down a futon and Shukaku put Gaara down. The boy shook and he said
"Sleep Gaara your safe." The boy looked at Naruto and walked over to the boy and snuggled up next to him and closed his eyes to sleep.
Once the two demons were out of the room Shukaku finally answered Kyuubi's question.
"The village turned on him, they demanded his death, the death of my grandson." Sand whirled at his feet.
Kyuubi may have been shocked at the fact Gaara was Shukaku's grandson but he didn't show it, instead he put a comforting hand on the blonde and said
"You and Gaara are welcomed here."
Shukaku nodded and vanished into the night, he needed to kills something.
