Existence

Chapter Four: The Perception between Good and Evil


BOOM!

The sounds of explosions rocked the residents of Juuban district to their feet. Everyone was panicking as they saw a giant bird in the sky, a man on its back wearing a black coat emblazoned with red clouds.

The blonde member of Akatsuki looked down below, as smoke filled the air that he had bombed on. A smirk was released from the man.

"I can't believe that you managed to survive for more than twenty thousand years, vessels of the Kyuubi and Ichibi! That means that the other bijuu took form of their respective hosts!"

As the dust cleared, Deidara saw the damage that he had done below, was non existent, standing before the bomber of Akatsuki, was gigantic dome of sand that surrounded the area.

"Heh, now this is more like it! I've missed this kind of fight for more than twenty thousand years!"

Releasing another set of bombs from his satchel, Deidara threw them down, in the form of two sparrows.

As he put his hands together for a ram seal, the birds that were dropped 'popped' to life by a plume of smoke as it began flapping its wings and going down barrier of sand.

Deidara smirked…

Inside:

"Damn it… And already they're on the move." Naruto cursed his luck, people that worked in organizations tend to be quicker, that and the fact that he didn't have any idea the position of the other jinchuuriki. He cursed his luck again. Seeing Gaara concentrating on his barrier of sand was tough to watch, the scouts were thankfully unhurt and fully operational.

With an experience of leading, Gaara commanded the members of the Senshi, "You girls get out of here. You all stand no chance against one of the Akatsuki, thankfully he's the only one who saw us, I'm going to create a small hole on the side, use that gap to get out of here quickly and run to a safer place, we can't guarantee your safety here."

With that, the girls turned to each other and nodded, they seemed to agree for the most part. Naruto nodded as he transformed with his battle outfit.

Donning the porcelain fox mask, Naruto said, "Let the bloodbath begin."

With that, the small hole appeared that the senshi could crawl out of.

As soon as they were gone, two birds appeared right beside the two vessels, the two of them immediately jumped sideways.

BOOM!

The explosion missed them, with a sudden form of a seal; Naruto looked up at the giant bird blocking out the light of the sun in front him and shouted.

"Kage Shuriken no Jutsu (Shadow Shuriken Skill)!"

Naruto held out the scroll, from his back pocket, quickly unfurling it and smashing his hand above the a character with the word, "Star"

A resounding sound of a pop was heard. A large Shuriken popped from the cloud of smoke, its buzzing sound was heard as it was thrown straight to the gigantic bird. Deidara manoeuvred the bird out of the path of the buzzing death by doing a wheelbarrow to the side…

Only to be met with a second one.

Deidara jumped, the spinning blade of death missed him when Deidara jumped. He looked down at the blonde below, and saw the blonde staring up at him, Deidara smirked, as long as he had the advantage of flight, the nine tails jinchuuriki who was dangerous in close quarters could never touch him, but his smirk did not last as soon as he heard another whirling buzz of death, this time from behind him.

With a quick turn and a swooping manoeuvre he dodged another gigantic shuriken, Deidara's eyes widened when he saw a shadow clone from behind him, who had grabbed the first shuriken and threw it back at the blonde. Deidara cursed his luck. He had forgotten how crafty the nine tails was. The blonde purposely threw the first shuriken slower and then threw the second one faster when he released it, catching up to the first and then hurling it back at Deidara.

The shuriken went past the bomber and impaled itself on the ground, right in front of Sailor Moon who was sweating bullets and turned pale, her legs almost giving out of how much close it was in tearing her in two.

"T-That was dangerous!" Sailor Moon shouted, the girls looked at the battle, it was nothing that they had ever seen before, a wave of sand rushed upwards, trying to get a hold of the one who was flying on top of a large bird, Ami was fascinated.

"You won't get away…" Gaara mentioned, not a hint of emotion in his voice.

As the new Ichibi, Gaara regained the ability to use sand at its most refined. The sand that he had from his gourd expanded over the flying clay raptor. As it was about to crash down, Deidara had sped off his clay bird dodging the avalanche of sand down on him.

Deidara countered by unleashing four set of small birds with four wings, deploying them at a faster rate and sought out the two Jinchuuriki. Gaara instantly knew this as he applied his sand to a protective orb; he didn't have time to cover Naruto as he was pretty far away, but Gaara had put his faith on the blonde.

Naruto cursed, the homing clay birds were fast, very fast and independent in direction, they didn't chase him down like blind animals. No, they had battle formations, and moved in perfect precision that Naruto began scaling up a building so that he could get to Deidara's level.

The speedy birds followed, gaining in on the blonde, Gaara had managed to fend off the attacks with his shield and sand, Naruto only cursed. Their abilities were far too different, unlike Gaara who had a rock solid defence, Naruto only had pure, speed and unrivalled offense, he cursed his luck as he was almost met with a white clay bird descending towards him as he went up. Naruto jumped and rolled in mid-air, landing past the speedy bird that came past him.

Deidara smirked, he just had an idea on how to deal with this brat. Grabbing another set of clay from his satchels, Deidara grinned.

The blonde Akatsuki member then threw around seven clay birds into the air, all having a pair of four wings.

Naruto looked on in surprise as the birds suddenly grew in number, at first, there were four, but now, eleven were heading his way, Naruto stopped from his climb up the tall building and put his hands together in a seal.

Outside of battle, the girls looked on in awe…

"Wow, do you think we could do that?" Asked Sailor Jupiter, pointing to the blonde who had scaled the building with ease, if that would be the result of their training then she was sure as hell, the suffering will be all worth it.

"That's like one of those superheroes from that American Comics, Grasshopper Man!" Pointed Sailor Venus

Sailor Mercury pointed out,

"It's Spider-man, Sailor Venus, and the only people with the grasshopper themed superheroes are us, Kamen Rider, remember?"

"Aren't all of you disturbed about the fact that the one riding the giant clay bird is spewing clay from the mouth of his hands?" Sailor Mars asked, all of them looked sick all of a sudden…

The birds kept chasing the blonde in high bursts of speed. Gaara was trying to assist the blonde but the moment he uses his sand to protect Naruto, it was leaving him vulnerable to attack, and unlike Naruto, he wasn't as mobile.

Forming a giant hand made of sand, Gaara compressed it to a point that it looked like a spear, with a deformed blade tip, he aimed the spear directly at the enemy.

"Saikou Zetai Kougeki: Shukaku no Yari! (Supreme Absolute Offense: Spear of Shukaku)"

Gaara then held the spear with his hand, and threw the said spear straight to Deidara, the resulting speed brought about a sonic boom as almost visible rings of vibrations and wind flew straight at the bird.

Without warning, the gigantic raptor was shot down in a display of exploding sand, the resulting shockwave threw off Deidara from his ride and sent careening across the sky.

The blonde Akatsuki member cursed as he flew back, quickly grabbing one of his spare birds on his satchel, Deidara stabilized his trajectory when he deployed another bird, as it used the said impact as a force and looped upwards regaining its flight.

Gaara frowned, after that much and Deidara still stood up. They weren't S-class ninjas for nothing.

While Deidara was busy stabilizing himself, Naruto was frantically dodging the relentless clay birds coming at him. In annoyance, the blonde leaped from the building arching his back and back flipping downwards, applying chakra to Naruto's feet, he cushioned his fall and stepped back, the row of birds seemed to straighten, Naruto needed to time this jutsu perfectly.

Putting his hands together, he created a set of seals.

The birds were getting faster, and he needed to stop it.

The said projectiles got closer,

And closer…

And closer…

With a perfect sync, Naruto finished his seal on the Boar seal and shouted,

"Doton: Doryuuheki! (Earth Release: Earth Wall formation)"

A sudden eruption of a large wall made of stone intercepted the birds causing explosions at its front, eleven in total.

Naruto sighed in relief as he looked back at Deidara with a frown on his face.

Deidara seemed amused at what the boy just did,

'He didn't even touch the ground with his hands or spat out the mud... I've never seen a ninja do it before… Did he master the earth element to a degree that he can bend the earth to its will?'

It was then that Naruto raised his right hand forward and what seemed like a bubble formed in front of the Kyuubi incarnate, it began to disorient the view around it, going into what seemed like a spiral.

The circumference of the said bubble was pitch black Naruto then stepped into it, vanishing without a trace as the bubble seemed to pop.

"Send this message to Madara for me, Deidara…"

Deidara instantly panicked the sudden disappearance of the blonde meant one thing…

It was at that instant, that Naruto appeared above Deidara, in his hand was a blue sphere of chakra ready and headed straight for Deidara's abdomen.

"I'll send all of you bastards back to hell! Rasengan! (Spiraling Sphere)"

The said ball of energy collided with Deidara's torso,

The chaotic chakra contained in the small orb began to disorient as the outer shell of the third stage was disrupted with the collision, the burst of energy sent the target in a burst of wind as strong as a forceful storm in an orb the size of a human being, sending the man spiralling down to the ground, the bird shattered from the force of the attack,

"HOLY SMOKES! WHAT AN ATTACK!" Sailor Moon shouted.

Sailor Jupiter nodded in a daze, drooling at the possibility of learning such a move. It was indeed a powerful attack.

Sailor Venus had hearts in her eyes, "Ah! Naruto-sama… You were so cool!"

Naruto landed on his feet, as he stood up, he heard someone speak,

"Ah, that was a pretty dirty move, yeah…"

Naruto turned his head around slowly, seeing Deidara suddenly standing on top of a building, completely unharmed, the one below changed into a huge lump of molding clay.

"I didn't expect the jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Yoko to have become this skilled. Yeah…" Deidara mentioned.

"As expected of an Akatsuki Member, the timing is always near perfect." Gaara mentioned already on Naruto's side.

Deidara smirked, "I only wanted to test you, yeah, Madara mentioned not to engage any of you until we're complete, yeah."

Naruto frowned, It was bad enough that they were discovered, but to be seen with girls that they associated with… It was a danger sign.

"Don't worry, yeah. I wouldn't want to get this show on the road immediately; I want to have more fun from the only remaining shinobi left in this world. It was fun while it lasted, but I need to report back to the big boss man. Yeah."

With a flick of his hands, Deidara vanished in a plume of smoke, a smile on the bomber's face ever present.

"Be prepared to face us, Jinchuuriki… We are not what we were back then… Yeah."

Naruto removed his mask; a look of seriousness overcame him looking at the place where Deidara left.

The girls had arrived, looking at the battle that just took place,

"You guys were awesome!" Usagi shouted, running towards the two.

"Wow… I've never seen such a fight… It was as if it came from a manga." Said Rei looking up, Naruto only transformed back to his clothing in a plume of smoke as did Gaara.

"Let's go… Class is about to start. I need to think." The blonde mentioned, not looking back at the girls, his right hand in his pocket. Dispelling the giant earth wall before he left, he wordlessly walked towards school.

Gaara mentioned,

"Forgive Naruto; the gravity of the situation has brought upon a large amount of stress on him. Please understand."

The girls seem to nod in understanding. It seemed there was more to Naruto than just a carefree teenager.

Azabu Juuban Highschool:

As soon as the bell rang for lunch, Naruto's head was cradled on his desk, his friend, Gaara was simply sitting and reading a book, he was about to go to the roof for some fresh air, but not before hearing a very intriguing set of information coming from one of his classmates.

"Hey guys! You heard about the new hip-hop sensation?" Asked one

"Oh, you mean Killer Bee? Yeah, his lyrics sucks but the rhythms are so cool that it makes up for the words!" Said another.

Naruto and Gaara were listening closely.

"Oh yeah, I heard that he made three new hit singles, 'Pimp Slap yo' Mama', 'Killer Bee's Eight Tales', and 'My bro's an Asshole'"

Naruto snorted at that.

"Hey, I heard he's about to have an underground concert in Shinjuku, want to go!?"

"Hell yeah, I'll go! The ladies love a man with the bling." Said the other, grabbing his shirt with his thumbs and pulling it forward emphasizing his pop culture preference.

Naruto looked at Gaara and nodded, the both of them stood up and went outside.

"Wow, those two act like they've known each other for sometime." Mentioned Usagi

"Of course they did, Usagi, they are the same people with experience in fighting off a threat in their time." Ami mentioned.

Minako had a thoughtful look on her face, "I just don't understand what's so cool about this entire hip hop. I prefer someone like Bonnie Pink, Kane wo Narashite (Ring a Bell) was pretty good!"

"Minako, we all have our taste, like how I much prefer RYTHEM. They have very good voices and are mellow, Harmonia and Houki Gumo (Comet Cloud) was excellent." Ami replied

Usagi shouted, "Bah! I like Ichirin no Hana (Lone Flower) and OVER by High and Mighty Colour!"

Usagi then raised her hand in an 'I love you' sign and nodding her head.

Both girls looked at Usagi with sweatdrops on their respective heads and Ami said, "Wow Usagi, I never put you as exactly the one who listens to Rock and Roll. I always pit Makoto in those things, but you?"

"What? I like listening to adrenalin pumping music especially when you're trying to wake up! Besides, my brother loves it too!"

Ami said, "Hai, Hai, we get it Usagi, we're just surprised you listen to Music that was mostly meant for men."

Usagi had a question marks popping from her head but decided to dismiss it. People learn something new everyday, she guessed.

Naruto and Gaara came back moments later both seemed unfazed, the three girls then asked the two,

"Where did you guys go?"

Naruto shrugged, "Discussed something about locating the other jinchuuriki, we just located the next one, the only problem is, how do we get close to the guy without causing such a public out roar?"

Ami seemed to think about this for a moment until she suggested, "How about doing an infiltration? You guys are good at that aren't you?"

Naruto looked at Gaara and Gaara looked back at the blonde before shrugging, "Well, the person we're talking about is a rowdy man; he's practically a man of his own freedom, if he wished he'd be banging heads just because he wants to."

"Wow, so he's a carefree violent man?" Asked Usagi

Naruto looked sideways and said, "Let's just say he just does what he wants, I remember this guy was the reason the summit of the Five Leaders took place. Unlike reports suggested, he didn't die; he just joined a band of roaming Enka Nins. But it was enough to set his brother like a lit match."

"Tch… I never want to talk to him again. You were lucky you're a post mortem Kage." Gaara mentioned

"And you were lucky you get to live out your dream, now stuff it." Naruto countered.

"You're still bitter you didn't get to live out your dream? Get over it." Gaara commented.

"I will if you stop whining about that Five Kage's summit! I was jealous! You got to meet the Mizukage!"

"Fine, fine, we forget the whole thing." Gaara sighed in exasperation. Naruto can be such a child at times.

Ami asked, "So who is this person anyway?"

"Well…" Naruto and Gaara were unsure at first, until they whispered to the three

Silence… Then…

"EEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHH!?"

Naruto motioned for them to keep quiet.

"Shh! Not so loud! Now you know why we're in such a dilemma!" Said Naruto, Gaara nodded.

"But him? Oh, come on, Naruto, you're pulling our leg here!" Usagi mentioned

"I'm afraid we aren't joking." Mentioned Gaara

"As much as I hate to admit it, but he's one of us. Gaara, if we ever get to meet him, restrain yourself. Even I got annoyed about his antics."

The three girls looked on in confusion,

Naruto replied, "It's like this, you know about what those guys heard earlier on right? Well, this guy has a tendency to rap even in civilized conversations. It's not bad the first few seconds, but it gets pretty irritating after some time. Gaara, an example please?"

"No."

"Why not?" Asked Naruto

"It's retarded and stupid. Besides, why do I have to give the example?"

"Because I gave the explanation, now do it! I'm the leader here!" Naruto mentioned, Gaara sighed as he shook his head, one of these days…

"Hachibi, sting like a bee."

"You're right Gaara-san that is a pretty retarded rhyme." Usagi mentioned

Ami nodded, "I couldn't agree more."

"Hey guys! Check this out! Killer Bee's having a radio talk show in Nippon, you got to hear this!" Said one of the boys holding out a pocket sized radio

"So Mister Killer Bee… How long have you been in this industry?"

"Yo', I've been in the industry, since I had been free, dawg."

"So you mean since you were independent from your family?"

"That **** be true, My bro was like a bad case of flu."

Naruto commented sarcastically, "Wow, I never knew he could rhyme so bad…"

Gaara merely kept palming his face reminding himself, "He's still one of us; he's still one of us; he's still one of us. Urge. Rising. Must. Not. Kill."

The interview continued on for several minutes more, with more of Killer bee's badly worded rhythm and the interviewer's frustration of translating Killer Bee's sentences to more coherent ones.

"So you and your brother had an apparent dislike with each other?"

"He's like a chain, like lookin' inside my brain!"

"… "

"…"

"Ah yes, before this session ends, what would you like to say, Mister Killer Bee?"

"Yo', all you Jinchuuriki a poppin' down, I know you're out there, come meet me in Shinjuku town!"

"That idiot…" Gaara muttered, meanwhile, Naruto grinned and said, "This might make it easier for us than we thought… Gaara, we're going to Shinjuku."

Ami meanwhile, held her head, "I think my IQ just dropped!"

"Oh come off it, Ami, pretty soon he's going to be hanging around here." Said Naruto with a grin, Gaara groaned, "Why did it have to be him?"

Later that afternoon:

"Well looks like we won't be training you for this day, we have a bull to wrestle down so… Meet you all back tomorrow or Saturday!"

To that, Naruto and Gaara vanished in a plume of smoke. Leaving behind three fazed high schoolers.

"Aw… No time to ogle at Naruto-sama for today…" Minako tilted her head down, while Ami and Usagi cheered her up.

"You know Minako, that attitude of yours is unhealthy." Ami mentioned

Usagi muttered, "Yeah it's completely dangerous…"

But she said that in a low voice that only Ami could hear.

Shinjuku District:

Naruto and Gaara looked around the scene of Shinjuku District, the said place was large and sprawling. The two masked ninjas scoured the rooftops jumping from one to another in a speed that couldn't be caught by the naked eye.

It wasn't hard to track down the large black man standing in the crowd, they landed on a farther side and walked casually, once they met the man, it was a simple "Yo." From Naruto that got the attention of the black man.

"Pretty damn bold statement you made back there, Killer Bee, what brought your brain to do so?"

"Doing it was not easy feat, Now c'mon, I'll explain while we eat!"

To this, Gaara groaned, while Naruto shook his head.

This was going to be a long, long, day.

Three days later:

In the days that Naruto was gone, the sailor senshi had encountered several youma and some two aliens that had a problem with some tree. Usagi scoffed at the duo as being tree huggers and all and after a resolving understanding between the two factions, the pair left off to some place far, far away.

Hopefully for good…

Now, she was with a date with her precious Mamo-chan, the moonlight knight thing was over so he was back as the same Tuxedo Kamen. She never did wonder just how Mamoru, an orphan and a middle class citizen, manage to fight with them while wearing an expensive suit.

Many didn't know either, but they didn't question it anymore than they question just where did Naruto and his friend come from.

It was then that the said pair arrived from Shinjuku, looking worse for wear, while carrying an unconscious bulky black man on their shoulders.

"Damn Eight Tails host always doing what he wants, Good thing we fought in the forest so no collateral damage to the people and to the buildings were done. But to use his menacing ball blast and stomping the ground for a small earthquake? That's overkill!" Naruto mentioned, Gaara just remained silent.0

"Where are we going to haul this guy's ass anyway? My apartment's too small!" Naruto rambled on, Gaara mentioned, "No."

It was then that Killer Bee groaned, waking up from unconsciousness looking to his side, he saw that the two jinchuuriki were supporting him.

"Yo, looks like ya' win, but your victories were only paper thin!"

Naruto rolled his eyes, "Oh please, you couldn't even touch me with your deadly clothesline. The only time I almost got killed was because of your eight sword style." Naruto mentioned.

Gaara scoffed, "So much for the hierarchy of the tails. Even if I'm the Ichibi, you were stupid enough to walk on the wasteland I created."

"Shut up, you hear? If you weren't so versatile, I'd kick your rear!"

Gaara sighed, he looked to the blonde and said, "Is it going to be like this, everyday?"

Naruto chuckled, "We're just here to assist Mr. Big shot here back to his feet, and explain the situation."

"So why are there only the two of you? I thought I got my message to all the jinchuuriki got through!"

Naruto replied

"Don't ask us Bee, we just happened to hear your broadcast. Did you encounter the rest?"

"Yes, Kyuubi. I happened to have met Yugito Nii!"

Naruto and Gaara then sat the beaten man down on the park bench, and asked,

"Really? Where'd you meet her?"

"Odaiba, bout' a few days ago. She was looking for a job; I had to let her go!"

Naruto then sighed, another long winded conversation with Killer Bee's raps, whoopdee freakin' doo.

"So she's in Odaiba? What's she doing there?"

"That hot woman is Modeling! In that city were monsters were trampling!"

Gaara was now massaging his temples, being the new Ichibi didn't mean you had absolute control of your urges now, and honestly? He'd much listen to the old Shukaku's voice of murdering everyone he wants, why? It would save him from this kind of suffering, being with Killer Bee, who was as bad as his brother, Raikage.

"You don't say? And here I am just being a good ole' bouncer in a humble little club. Man, I really need to expand my horizons." Naruto asked amused

"And what are you good at besides fighting anyway?" Asked Gaara

"Well I did inherit most of Jiraiya's works, maybe I should try ghost writing again…" Naruto thought amused

"You've ghost written before?"

Naruto nodded as he explained how he had written for Jiraiya's last book, Icha Icha Tactics.

"Best damn book I would say, Always got me through the day!" Killer Bee grinned, as he now stood up, the effect of his regeneration triggering.

"Naruto?" The red head asked

The blonde looked around and asked the Neo-One tail, "What?"

"I am now your fan." Said Gaara with a smirk on his face, the blonde slouched and asked, "Huh? You read MY work?"

Gaara nodded

Naruto laughed sheepishly, but then quickly remembered what they were here for, "I forgot the reason why we really came here. Bee, we need your help."

The large man looked at Naruto and then back to Gaara with a questioning look, Naruto continued, "Akatsuki is still running. They won't rest until all of us are down. They are gathering members as we speak and it looks like Madara has the right funds to come after us. Bee, I know that you're living your dream right now, but understand that these guys will take it away fro…"

"Say no more, little bro, Killer Bee will never let you go solo."

Naruto smiled, it seemed Bee was willing partake in this battle. Now they have three, Killer Bee then grabbed a paper from his pocket and scribbled something on it. He handed it to Naruto who said, "Call me when there's trouble, I'll be there on the double!"

Naruto then grinned, grabbing a small paper with his own, he began to draw intricate lines on the paper as he said.

"Then this will be a seal that will trigger when there's a sudden overwhelming level of stress, it will open up a small hole in Time and Space and will instantly summon me where ever this seal is. If the Akatsuki decide to come after you, I can immediately bail you out, or bring in reinforcements."

The blonde then handed over the seal to the Neo-Eight tails and smiled, "You lettin' me keep my dream?"

"Yep. It's your life, live your dream, I won't stop you from doing what you want."

With that, Naruto and Gaara vanished in cloud of smoke.

Killer Bee grinned, now to get to that Shinjuku underground concert.

With Usagi:

It seemed whatever date that Mamoru and Usagi had, were wasted when a cute pink haired girl, having the same hairstyle as Usagi suddenly fell from the sky and pointed a gun at her.

"Don't try to move. If you do anything suspicious, I'll kill you." She said in monotone, Usagi who was on all fours, had a gun pointing at her forehead, of course Mamoru thought it was a toy, after all, how could a little girl carry an iron clad pistol with a magazine?

"If you value your life, you will hand over the Ginzuisho."

The girl said icily.

Usagi was panicking.

"G-Ginzuisho? I-I don't know what you're talking about!"

Then, the little girl pulled the trigger ran off.

"Usako!" Mamoru yelled, quickly running off to the side of his girlfriend, Usagi was clearly knocked out with a flower and suction on her forehead.

"Knew it was a toy."

The voice said, and Naruto instantly appeared to the duo, his battle attire still on. Mamoru wasn't sure, but Naruto smelled like iron and blood.

"Oh don't worry about Usagi, Mamoru, I'll get her back to her home safe. Don't worry, I'm not interested in her, just as her teacher, I'm more concerned in her well being. We'll talk about this later." Said Naruto, as he grabbed Usagi and carried her on his back, and vanished in a cloud of smoke.

Mamoru seemed confused, and… Was that a gaping hole on the back of his haori?

Usagi:

Wind, it was the rustling wind that startled her, and the soothing wind was all that she felt and its whistling sound was all that she heard, when she woke up, and all senses coming back together, she was immediately greeted by a familiar voice,

"I see you're awake. I never thought a girl like that could be capable of pulling a prank that hilarious!" Said the male blonde

"It was NOT funny! I thought I was shot!" Usagi defended herself

Naruto snorted, "Like a girl like her could carry a cast iron firearm and withstand the recoil, that's absolutely impossible!"

It was then that Naruto had jumped down to the front of her house, "She knows about the Ginzuisho, I have… What does it mean?" Asked Usagi

Naruto had a bewildered look on his face and asked, "What's this Ginzuisho anyway?"

"Come on, I'll explain inside my room, I'm concerned how this will affect my future…"

Naruto shrugged, Usagi thinking this deeply was something new… Well, even he had the same moments in judgement since he was young… But that was twenty thousand years ago.

Now, being the new Kyuubi, he was wiser, and the experiences that taught him changed him forever.

With a sudden henge, Naruto changed from his tattered battle attire, to that of him wearing a white bonnet, pure white jacket over a black t-shirt underneath, and khaki pants held by belt with a silver buckler, his accessory was a rubber wrist band on his right hand.

"Thanks to going to Shinjuku, I was able to get accustomed to the dress codes of the modern era, I was getting tired of wearing that uniform anyway." Naruto mentioned, Usagi looked on in wonder, would he be willing to teach that?

"Now, let's discuss this over hot tea, and introduce me to the family will ya, Usagi?"

Naruto grinned, as did Usagi, Naruto's smiles were indeed infectious.

Once inside, Usagi introduced him to family, a friendly handshake with the father, who seemed to squeeze his hand tightly.

A friendly chat with Usagi's little brother Shingo and a few jokes to come around, and a warm greeting from the mother of the rabbit girl.

"Naruto-san, are you perhaps Usagi's boyfriend?"

Naruto chuckled at that, with Usagi suddenly running down from her room and pointed accusingly at Shingo who looked in wonder,

"Shingo, you messed up my room again!"

The three members of the Tsukino Usagi looked in wonder as well as their guest, Naruto then answered,

"To answer your question, no, Tsukino-san, I am Usagi's friend and classmate."

The father however, looked suspicious on the blonde male.

Naruto then noticed the small girl creeping behind Shingo.

Usagi noticed as well.

"W-what is she doing here!?" The blonde dango head pointed to the little pink haired girl, Naruto was curious as well.

"Oh, your cousin Usagi would be staying with us for a while." The mother replied, Naruto seemed to scratch his head at this

"D-Don't be fooled by that little devil!" Usagi shouted, to this the little girl shouted,

"Wah! Cousin Usagi is being mean to me!"

Naruto smirked, oh, someone who could play the little girl card well, eh? Ah, a great prankster was about to be born in this child, yes sir!

"Stupid Usagi, are getting even stupider?" Shingo asked, looking at his big sister snidely, "Our cousin spent the new year here! Don't you remember?"

It was then her mother had stepped out from the living room to grab a photo album, once they saw the Photos, Naruto said to the dumpling head,

"Hmmm… Well they're authentic enough… Usagi, did you hit your head or something?"

"No! I swear I don't remember any of this!" Usagi answered, Naruto raised an eyebrow, he looked outside the window and said, "Hey Usagi, I'm still new to this town, mind accompanying me outside? I'd like a tour of this place."

"Huh?"

"Just come on, Usagi, you have to guide me." Naruto said as he got up and said to Usagi's folks,

"It was a pleasure knowing all of you, but I'm afraid I have to go, I need to settle down on my new apartment."

He then went outside, Usagi followed, with a bewildered expression,

"I thought you wanted to know more about the Ginzuisho." Said Usagi, Naruto replied,

"True, but then that girl, that pink haired one, it bothers me that she can forge memories and those photos so well… I noticed it when you were confused about the events last year."

Naruto then put his hand on his chin, thinking.

"Usagi… You're going to Rei's place tomorrow aren't you? Would you mind for me to be there? Gaara would be looking for a job tomorrow and I'm interested in this case. I may be able to find something worthwhile…"

Naruto then walked outside and said to her, "Be careful Usagi, events like this contribute to a much larger circumstance it would do well if you try to be careful, I'm going home and see if I can get any rest, I just came back from Shinjuku and fought off a bull, I need my rest before going to Odaiba and go hunting for another of my comrades."
