"Hey, kid!! Shukaku's taking your glory for destroying the people you hate! Do you want my power now?"

"Of course I do. This village is mine to destroy." Naruto felt his body being taken over by Kyuubi until his and Kyuubi's mind was completely in sync. In seconds, he tore through the streets of Konoha, destroying people left and right, and anyone who came in contact with him combusted into flames. He caught sight of Lee and Tenten and tore through them before they could react. They were left dying in a pool of their blood. He heard the sound of small bugs being combusted on him and saw Shino above him.

"Naruto, stop what you're doing and help us out." Although he knew that Shino never talked about him, he still felt like he needed to wipe out the entire village. He sent a wave of red chakra at Shino, but as soon as it hit him, he scattered into a cloud of bugs.

"Bug Bunshin. I hate that." Naruto unleashed a wave of strong chakra that devastated everything that was in front of him. He heard the sounds of explosions getting closer, which meant two things to him: one, his chakra tails were destroying anything that was attempting to attack him from behind, and two, Gaara and his demon were getting closer to him with their waves of destruction. He turned and saw some dark blue hair poking out of its hiding spot. "Hinata, get out of here!!" The hair came out of its spot and showed itself to Naruto. "You're not Hinata. You're her sister, Hanabi." At that instant, one of Shukaku's arms grabbed the small girl and pulled her towards him.

"Hyuuga Hanabi. I've found you." Gaara's voice was half sinister, half calm. The young Hyuuga looked at him with awe. Naruto and Gaara were staring at each other, not knowing what to do to the other. They were both responsible for the destruction of the Hidden Leaf village in a span of 6 minutes. They stood towards each other, neither one moving, analyzing the damage that took place in the village. Naruto saw puffs of sand stained with the blood of the villagers and destroyed buildings. Gaara saw fire, and the bodies of people littered in the streets, burning to crisps. The two walked to each other until they were less than a foot away from each other. They stared into each other's eyes for a good two minutes until Naruto let his lips curl into a smile.

"Thanks for helping me out with this." He extended his hand to the carrier of Shukaku. Gaara extended his hand and shook Naruto's hand.

"You're welcome, but my mission was to capture and rape the Hyuuga daughters." He suddenly felt his hand being crushed bit by bit. The sand reacted and stabbed into Naruto's hand.

"Do whatever you want to that girl you have, but you will not touch my Hinata!! Do you understand me!!?" At the mention of her name, she came out of her hiding spot and looked at the two standing together.

"Okay, I won't touch her. I see how much she means to you."

"Na… Naruto-kun?" Hinata slowly started walking towards Naruto with their stuff in her hands. "Should we leave now?" Naruto looked at her and smiled. His body returned to normal, and Gaara let go of Hanabi.

"I think we should leave here. There's nothing else for us here." Naruto started walking off to the entrance, followed by Hinata.

"Naruto." At the mention of his name, he looked at Gaara. "You are my first friend, besides Shukaku. I have nowhere to go. I will go with you as well."

"Big sister!!" Hanabi's voice squeaked out of her, even though she was 14 years old. "I'm not staying here! I'm going with you all wherever you may go." The four of them left the destroyed village; ready for whatever the world holds for them.
