Author: Sorry about last chapter, but it was necessary. It's one of the few things that set off a chain reaction, leading to ...well, you'll find out soon enough. About the title, well, you'll figure out what it means after you read the fic, hopefully... Oh and thank you to all that reviewed, why you ask, because you all pawn rock country.

On another note, I've been thinking about creating a story in the Zelda sections. I have two ideas.

One would be like a future fanfiction, way after wind waker. It would include things from the two games on the N64 and the wind waker. Possibly the new one coming out for game cube if im not already to far into it.

The other one would go through the game's on the N64 and the wind waker ( possibly the new one for game cube.) But not with the original story, but MY version of the story's. which means all hell would break lose.

So tell me what you think and if you would read these story's. The second one would take awhile because I've only finished the wind waker. Of course if I work on these fanfic's they would take longer to update, since my main project is this fic.

Naru/Hinata 24

Naru/Tenten 2

Naru/Ayame ( the ramen stand waitress ) 2

Naru/Temari 4

Naru/ (Female) Haku 7

Naru/ ( Female) Kyuubi 11

Screw it all and go with a Naruto harem. 31

note: Tayuya was dropped form the votes.

enjoy the fic

Burning passion, Enkou!

"I know one thing..."Naruto said, as he glanced one more time at the two, before he turned back

towards the figure.

"... and that is your not taking either of them.." He stated, as he went into a basic taijustu stance.

" Without a fight."

The cloud-nin sighed, as he watched Naruto go into a basic fighting stance. " Oh well, I almost feel bad for the kid." The cloud-nin then charged at Naruto, of course he was holding back, seeing how this was only a child he was fighting. When he reached Naruto, he swung his fist upward towards the gut, trying to finish this quickly. Naruto dashed right and tried to deliver a kick to the head.

The cloud-nin jumped out of the way and threw a wave of kunai at Naruto. Naruto jumped into the air, as the cloud-nin threw a second wave of kunai at him. Naruto countered with his own mixture wave of kunai and shuriken. The cloud-nin then jumped towards Naruto, who was still in the air, and slashed him with a kunai. The cloud-nin wore a smirk on his face, which soon disappeared when he saw the remains of a log.

" Kawarimi no jutsu ?" the cloud-nin thought, as he formed a few quick seals and whispered to himself. A second later throwing towards the ground a couple small crackling balls, which glowed a bright yellow. When Naruto noticed these from his hiding place, he could only think of one thing.

" Oh sh-."

The ground exploded in a bright flash of yellow, as electricity ripped through the ground, creating a few small craters. The cloud-nin, who had been watching this, quickly spun around. Only to get his in the face by a chakra enhanced punch, sending him flying into a nearby tree. Naruto continued to sore in the air, until he reached a tree and jumped off of it to another tree. There he jumped upward, did a few flips and landed on the ground. The local squirrels in the area held up cards with numbers on them from a tree branch. Two held up tens, while the third one held up a 8.5. Naruto glared at the squirrel.

Squirrel. "What? I've seen better." it stated.

Naruto turned his attention back towards the cloud-nin, just in time to deflect a wave of kunai. The cloud-nin rushed forward with a katana in his hand. " katana rein !" he yells, as he begins to stable Naruto at incredible speeds. The cloud-nin stopped and watched, as Naruto fell slowly backwards, only to be shocked when he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

" Shit! Kage bunshin." The cloud-nin thought, as a big ass wave of needle's came at him from all directions. He quickly formed some seals, as he held his hand upward, holding a small crackling ball. An explosion once again ranged through the forest, while the cloud-nin formed more seals. He quickly threw what looked like rings towards a group of trees ,high in the air, like shurekins. Piercing through the tree's easily and continuing onward. The cloud-nin smiled, as a few leave's fell down from the tree.

Naruto on the other hand, just got the shit scared out of him. He shaked a bit, still continuing to hold his hands and feet in place between the two tree's. He looked down to see that the shurekin had slightly grazed him, as they passed by. Any lower and he would have been neutered right about now. He focused chakra into his left hand and foot, allowing him to bounce off the tree towards another one. The cloud-nin jumped towards the tree's and threw another wave at Naruto, while he continued to follow Naruto andrun along the tree's...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hiashi was running on the roof tops, looking frantically for Hinata and Hanabi. He had assembled all the branch house members and were now looking all over kohonah for them. Well actually his wife assembled the house members. When he reached the mansion, he found he crying in the arm's of his sister-in-law ( Neji's mother ), when he tried to com her down, he was beaten severely with a frying pan, as she yelled at him to go find them. Personally, he was glad the other's decided to wait outside, he defiantly wouldn't them to see him get the shit beat out of him with a cooking utensil.

Back to the search, other clans were helping as well, searching every nock and cranny for the two. Each using their own unique way of finding them. Which lead to their being swarms of bug's, packs of dog's, birds, people, clones, (etc) hell, even shadow's were searching. He only hoped to be able to find them, if not for their sake,then for his own.

Hiashi snapped out of his thought's, as he heard some one call out to him. He turned in the direction of the voice to see Anko running on another building.

" Hiashi, have you seen Naruto!" Anko yelled.

" No...I haven't! " He yelled back. He just noticed how strange that was. Many people had been coming up to him, asking if he knew were Hinata and Hanabi might have gone, but not once had he seen Naruto. He was now starting to worry about him as well.

" I starting to get worried! If you see him, keep him with you alright! " Anko yelled, as she disappeared, searching for Naruto. Hiashi was now starting to think of what could have happened. First his daughters, now Naruto.He could only ask himself one question at this point

" What the hell is going on?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto continued to jump from branch to branch, dodging shurekin every few seconds. The man seemed to have a lot of chakra, since he had no problem wasting so much of it. Naruto had been hit a couple of time's, nothing vital, but it still hurt like hell. He could only hope to lead the nin as far away from Hinata and her sister as he could, praying that his luck would hold out.

The cloud-nin, on the other hand, was get impatient. He had been fighting Naruto for 15 minutes now and was growing tired of this little game. He formed more shurekin and, with chakra, made them hover above his hand in a circle. The shurekin started to spin rapidly on their own, before spinning clockwise together, forming a large electrical ring. Using more chakra, the cloud-nin flung the ring towards Naruto at high speeds.

Naruto was busy trying to think of a way to stall for time, sheerly someone mosthave heard those explosion's and was coming to check it out, or better, had alerted the Anbu. If Naruto could just hold out a while longer, then maybe the nin could be stopped. Naruto had just jumped off another branch when he felt a violet vibration under him. He looked down in time to see a bigger version of the nin's chakra shurekin, pass under him, just grazing his sandle's. If it weren't for the crisis at hand, Naruto probably would have shit himself. Naruto continued to dodge the giant ring shurekin for a couple of minute's, until the nin switched tactic's.

The cloud-nin formed some seals, as he again whispered something under his breath. His finger tips started to glow purple, as he formed his hand in the shape of a gun. He aimed at Naruto and shot a burst of chakra at him, just missing him as he jumped off the branch. Of course Naruto took notice of this. When he reached the tree branch, he used chakra and jumped towards another, making sure he was behind a tree. The cloud-nin stayed on his pervious branch and continued to aim at Naruto. He missed and hit a tree's bark, because Naruto had hidden behind it and missed when Naruto was in the open, only hitting a branch. The cloud-nin took careful aim this time and shot at the branch Naruto just landed on, causing him to jump and throw a rain of shuriken at the cloud-nin. The cloud-nin deflected the shuriken, a second later showing a shocked expression, as a wave of needle's hit him from behind.

Naruto was surprised when he saw a puff of smoke and a log, or what was left of it, fall towards the ground. Naruto turned just in time to get slashed by the cloud-nin, who flew by and bounced off a tree, back towards him. The cloud-nin continued to bounce off the trees in a pinball like style, as he slashed Naruto every time he could. After a minute of two, the cloud-nin gave one final hard slash that sent Naruto flying downwards, through a tree, and into another open area. The cloud-nin then threw some small crackling balls towards Naruto. Naruto rolled to the side, missing the explosion. Naruto had got on one knee and was about to stand up, when the cloud-nin came out of no where and slashed right through him with his kunai.

Naruto grinned, as he disappeared in a puff of smoke. The cloud-nin was slashed from behind, sending him to the ground. He got on his knee's and looked up in time to see Naruto, bouncing off the tree's and heading towards him. Naruto then preceded to do what the cloud-nin had done to him, bouncing off the walls, slashing the nin, when ever he could.

Of course since this was the could-nin's technique, he had a counter measure for it. He started to form seals, not paying any attention to Naruto. When the seals where done, he let out a scream, as the ground below them cracked and sent a huge amount of electricity upwards. Naruto was struck hard by this technique and was sent to the ground. Naruto tried to get up, but fell back to the ground. He was exhausted, I mean come on, an eight year old lasted this long against a shinobi that is not only three time's his age, maybe more, but also more experienced. All Naruto could do was watch, as the cloud-nin walked up towards him.

"Well, that was a fun and all, but I have things to do. Now it's time to end this." The cloud-nin said, as he drew his katana. Personally, he was glad this was going to be over. The kid managed to give him a decent fight and that...frighted him. He only hoped to kill the kid quickly and get those two out of the forest. Good thing they were so far out, or else people might have noticed the explosion's from earlier. He positioned it right above Naruto's neck and lifted it upwards. Preparing to swing. Naruto closed his eye's waiting for the blow.

" No, it can't end... like this. If I die, he'll take them. I can't let him take them. I...won't let him take them. I swear that he won't leave with them. I swear on my life that he won't leave here with them. I'll protect both of them, I'll protect...

...Hinata."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto felt something strange coursing through him, as he felt like his soul was being ripped from his body. He opened his eye's quickly to see that he was no longer in an open area, but what looked like a sewer. Naruto looked at his reflection in the water, with his face widening in shock.

All his injuries were gone and his cloths looked brand new, not a single tare on them. He couldn't believe it, how the hell did all of this happen? As Naruto thought about what was going on, he heard faint laughter coming from one of the many tunnels surrounding him. He started to head towards the voice, making sure to watch his step, so that he won't slip and fall. To his amazement, he found a large cage at the very end of the tunnel. He slowly approached it , careful of what might inside.

Suddenly, to big red eye's appeared, as Naruto stumbled backwards. The creature ginned, as it laughed at him. Naruto just glared at the creature.

"Shut up." The creature stopped all of a sudden, just staring at Naruto. A few seconds had past of just staring at one another, until...

"WHAT RIGHT DO YOU HAVE TO COMMAND ME, MORTAL!" the creature yelled, for what he could tell was female, as Naruto just glared at it.

" Whatever..." Now the creature's defiantly pissed. It reaches it's paw out and tries to swipe Naruto. Off course Naruto naturally jumps to his sense's and avoids it, barely... Bringing out some kunai and prepared for what was next. The creature hesitated a bit, a freakin eight year old was able to dodge her attack. The creature looks into Naruto's eye's and notices something flicker in them, something she hasn't seen in years...

"Interesting kid." thought the creature, as she grins again. " Tell me child, what is your name?" She had a feeling of who he was, but one could never be to careful. Other creatures had a tendency to screw up and some how end up within her 'domain'. Which was fun for her since she would always just kill or eat them, depending on her mood.

" Who want's to know?" Naruto asks, narrowing his eye's.

" Child, do you know who I am? "

" Err...no."

" I am the great Kyuubi! " Kyuubi said proudly, waiting for Naruto to coward in fear of her. Only to have a reality check when she was hit with a rock. " Oww! What the fuck?" she asked.

" Liar! " Naruto yelled, as he pointed at her. " Every one know's that the fourth sealed the Kyuubi in a fish!" Kyuubi sweat dropped

" What the hell? A fish! Why couldn't they come up with something more creative?" Kyuubi thought, as she looked at Naruto. "Look kid, just tell me your name."

" Why the hell should I?"

"If you tell me your name and your who I think you are then I'll give you something." replied the Kyuubi, as she watched Naruto think it over. Taking in the pro's and con's of telling her his name.

"Alright, deal. My name is Uzumaki Naruto. " the Kyuubi sighed, yep it was him, her carrier. Damn it, she was in the mood to eat something to...

" So what's the gift? " Naruto asked in a hyper tone of voice, bouncing up and down in anticipation. Kyuubi sighed, while thinking of having to put up with an eight year old.

" First of all, Naruto-kun, I need to tell you a few things. So SETTLE DOWN!" She yelled, as Naruto stopped. " That's better, first off the fourth did NOT seal the Kyuubi inside of a fish, but within something else, a child." Naruto nodded for her to continue. " Now the only way that I, the Kyuubi, could be sealed into a child is if it was only a few hour's old. As luck would have it only one child was born on that day. I was sealed using the forbidden technique, into the child as soon as possible, but the technique also cost the fourths life. Thus no one herd his final wishes, that was eight years ago..." The Kyuubi stopped for a moment before continuing on. "The boy grew up, barring the demon as a burden, being harassed by his own people. Some even tried to kill this child, in spit of the fact that he was so young."

"But, who was the child?" asked Naruto.

" Tell me Naruto-kun. what was the official date that I was 'defeated'. "

" That's easy, October tenth."

" Now tell me, when is your birthday?"

" Weird question, but it's October te-." There it hit Naruto like a ton of bricks. " N..No."

" Yes, you are that child." the Kyuubi replied, as Naruto thought about his past, remembering all the suffering, all the pain, all the hatred. How the villager's shunned him, always coming up with an excuse, any excuse just to hit him. How they looked at him with disgust, wishing for even the littlest of harm to happen to him. Naruto continued to look through his memories, remembering all that had happened, he stopped all of a sudden. He had found one memory that made all the other's disappear, never to resurface. Kyuubi noticed the glint returning once again in Naruto's eye, as he looked at her.

" Kyuubi, you said that you had a gift for me." stated Naruto, as he watched the Kyuubi, never once shifting his glaze.

"Hai, I did, but-"

"Will it help me become stronger?" Naruto asked, cutting her off. She slowly nodded. " Then I accept. I don't care what the consequence's are, so I ask you Kyuubi, led me your strength." Kyuubi sighed, as she made her tail's move towards him, all nine rapping around him. A second later he was lifted into the air, coming face to face with the Kyuubi. Her eye's glowed brightly, as a surge of energy swept through the tails and towards Naruto, causing him to scream in pain. His body glowed bright red, as he felt his soul being returned to his body.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The third sighed, as he more people and/or birds came and told him that they hadn't found Hinata, Hanabi, or Naruto yet. He hadn't known about Naruto until half an hour ago, when his mother personally beat thecrap out of the anbu guarding his door and confronted him. He was in deep shit now, not only was their Hinata's and Hanabi's mother, but Naruto's mother to deal with now. In his very long life span, he had learned along time ago never to piss off a women, unless he wanted to be torture with a slow and painfully death, or castrated, meaning the use of a heated rusty butter knife and no she won't take it off with just one quick slash, she'll use H-A-N-D-S-A-W motion. But that is depending on the women, mind you.

He glanced out his window and over Kohonah. Those two were now being searched for frantically by the other clans. Hell, even the Uchiha's helped look, still being the stuck up bastards that they truly are through the whole thing. He felt horrible at the thought of what was going to happen after this. He knew that somehow people were going to blame this on Naruto, one way or another.

The Hokage snapped out of hi thought's when he felt a large surge of energy coming from the forest. He looked in the direction of the power source to see a huge light coming from the forest. The Third remembered were he felt this energy and he knew that something, beyond what he had originally thought, was wrong. Just then ,a man bursted through the door, panting and gasping for breath. The Hokage turned to face him.

" Report!" order the third, as the man looked up at him.

" We've... found... them ."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The cloud-nin couldn't believe what he was seeing, what he was feeling. A child have this much power would be impossible, but here he was, releasing enough chakra to match jounin level. He looked downwards towards his pant's, yep, he defiantly pissed them. He continued to watch, as the light faded, reveling the boy.

He no longer wore a orange hoodie and pant's, oh hell no, He was wearing something completely different. He wore ( from bottom to top ) black boot's and black pant's. He wore a blood red long sleeved jacket, with a high collar ( higher than Shino's ) that was made to expose his mouth, showing white bandages, which were rapped around the child's mouth ( think how Zabuza ware's them around his.) . The jacket had a zipper ( the zipper started at th top and goes downward ) which was zipped half way down his chest, exposing a dark red shirt. The jacket was big on the child and moved in the light breeze going by. The cloud-nin wasn't even able to see the child's hands until he lifted them into a taijutsu stance, more advance then his pervious one. His hands were covered from about half way up his arm to down his hands in pitch black bandage's ( the tips of his fingers being exposed ), which were covered with seals and letter's that glowed a dark purple, all the letters were from a different language that he couldn't understand. He looked up at the child's face, not only was his blond hair now blood red, but his eye's had also turned red and were covered with veins. His pupils had split, giving him two pupils for each eye instead of one and were slit...like a fox's. The most noticeable part, however, was the dark red fox ears now on his head and the single fox tail behind him.

The child looked directly into the cloud-nin's eye's, striking fear with in him. A second later speaking in a thunderous voice that could make any man bow before him.

"It's time to finish this." stated Naruto, as he charged forward...

( A/N: Now I could be a total bastard and stop the chapter at this point, but then again, you'd miss a really kickass battle, especially since some very interesting things are about to happen. So, I'll continue the battle that was meant for next chapter, well some of it...)

..And delivered a punch to the gut, sending the cloud-nin upwards. Naruto jumped upwards towards the cloud-nin and delivered a kick to his head, sending him towards the ground, while forming three seals.

" Inferuno juujika !" Naruto yelled, as he shot a HUGE stream of fire toward the cloud-nin, erupting into four fiery explosions when it landed.

The cloud-nin was still in shock, as he hid behind a tree, just barely doing a kawarimi in time. He was barely able to keep up with the child, he couldn't even see him move. He started to act frantically, forming some seals as quickly as possible and threw a wave of ring shurekin at Naruto.

Naruto just stood their, as the shurekin continued towards him. At the lasst moment he spun around to face the shuriken and had his hands preform a seal, creating a wall of fire to appear before him, stopping the shuriken. The cloud-nin rushed behind Naruto and tried to slash him with his katana, but Naruto, amazingly stopped ( caught ) the blade with his hand, as the katana melted for reason's unknown to the cloud-nin. Naruto then jumped backwards into the air and after reaching a certain height, he some how was able to shoot flame from his feet as he did a kicking motion sending him straight down towards the cloud-nin. The could-nin avoided Naruto, as he tried to hit the cloud-nin and instead hitting the ground, creating a small crater.

Naruto made a seal and did a sweeping motion with his hand, throwing fireballs like he would throw shuriken, as he yelled. "Faia mari ! " The cloud-nin retaliated with his ring shurikens, canceling the fireballs. Naruto did three more seals, as he reached both of his hands backwards. ( think how Goku dose it in dragon ball Z and you'll have the right idea. ) His tail then moved towards his hands, detaching from his body and curling into a ball. Naruto did some swirling motion's, as the ball started to not only spin rapidly, but turned into a fireball. He threw it at the cloud-nin as he yelled. " Kitsune supiritto ! " The cloud-nin managed to dodge it while jumping to another tree, only to watch it come back towards him. He continued to dodge the fire ball while forming some seals and making his giant ring shurekin once again. He spun around in mid air and pushed the shurekin into the fireball. The two just pushed against each other for a few seconds, trying to over power one another, before erupting into a huge explosion. Sending him backwards towards the ground. Just as the cloud-nin stood up, Naruto hit him struck him with a kunai. He showed a surprise expression when the cloud-nin was replaced with a log.

Naruto soon feet pain in his body, as the cloud-nin started to bounce of the tree's and strike him when he passed by like last time. After a few moments of this, Naruto gathered energy into his body and released it with a ear shattering scream. While a flaming barrier shot outwards, ripping the ground apart, as it grew in size. The cloud-nin managed to escape with his life, has he now stood at the opposite side of the battle field. He watched as Naruto just laughed for a few moments, before reaching, under his coat.

" What the hell are you doing! " yelled/ asked the cloud-nin, as he watched Naruto laugh some more.

" Just calling on a friend." Naruto stated, as he started to preform a series of hand seals.

" Kuchiyose no jutsu! " Naruto yelled, as he slammed his hand on the ground, causing the battlefield to be covered my a blast of smoke.

" You summoned me, Sarutobi ?" asked the white ape, as he looked downwards ( the Hokage is short, so of course he looked downwards.) On to see a human child, he did not recognize the clothing, but his smell...

" Naruto, what is this? " asked the white ape.

" I don't have time to explain Emna. Just please, help me in this fight." Emna raised an eyebrow, as he looked over at the cloud-nin, who was preparing to attack. Emna sighed, as he nodded.

" For now, at lest." Emna replied, as he started to form some seals. " Henge!" he yelled, as he toke the shape of a staff, Naruto showed a confused expression( If you could tell, probably not.).

"I can't use staff's." Naruto stated.

" Just grab on to the staff and I'll do all the maneuvering." Naruto slowly nodded, as he toke the staff and got into a battle stance. The cloud-nin could only think of one thing, as he watched Naruto.

" I'm going...to die."

Please Read and review, andtell me what you think about the two fic's I was talking about earlier and if you would be interested in reading them, I might just make them, especially the second one...hehe 'Rubs hands evilly'. Of course this will remain my main project. Until next chapter...later.
