I do not own Naruto and I don't plan to in the future. I do, though, own this fanfiction and original characters in it.

"Speech"
'Thought'
Flashback
"Umu speech"
"Kyūbi speech"

So here is the rest of Chapter thirteen, it's not as long as I originally planned because I decided to put the rest in the next chapter fourteen. Most of chapter fourteen is written but not typed so it should be up within a week.

Thirteenth Unmei: The Offer

Naruto sat in his mind, in front of him were the two most powerful demons in the world and he wore the biggest grin in the world. "That bastard deserved that. He was so annoying, all that bark, but no bite. He got what was coming to him."

Umu sat in front of Naruto to his right, he wore the same grin as Naruto, but slightly more sadistic. "That felt great. It's been so long since I've done that technique, but god is it draining. Too bad you didn't let me kill him."

"I didn't want him dead, only scared shitless."

"Well, you got what you wanted. After that technique, his face was all like 'My balls are going to get torn off,'" Kyūbi laughed hysterically, trying to mimic Gatou's face.

"Well, whatever happened made me fain so I think that I be here for a while. So, what do you two say for a little training? I want to practice those techniques from the scroll." Naruto stood up and began doing some stretches.

"I'm too tired," Umu waved off the idea and lied down.

"Well since I really didn't do anything, I'm up for it," Kyūbi jumped up and began doing his own warm up routine.

"That's right just leave the old demon out," Umu complained undignified.

"You said you're tired," Naruto and Kyūbi defended in unison.

"Screw you. I feeling rejuvenated already," Umu retorted as he got up and did his own warm up.

(With everybody else)

Haku watched as Kiiori lifted up Naruto and place him on his shoulders. "Will he be alright?" She asked with concern over her new found friend.

"He'll be fine." Kiiori told her, hoping to calm her down. Haku doubted him a little but when she looked at Hinata and saw that she wasn't worried, she decided that Kiiori was probably right. On the other hand there was Sakura who was obsessing over Sasuke, even though he wasn't in that bad of a condition.

"For now, we'll go to Tazuna's house and rest and wait for Naruto to wake up. Anyone who is able will help Tazuna finish the bridge. Kakashi explained as he led the group back to Tazuna's. When they got there the found out that Inari had banded up the villagers to chase out the remaining mercenaries that had worked for Gatou. For the Next couple of days everybody was tense around each other, but nothing bad happened in fear of Naruto having another outbreak.

Naruto, amazingly, did not wake up for several days. This made his team a little worried that maybe he had suffered some psychological damage. Kakashi on the other hand did not let Sasuke train until Naruto woke up. This mad Sasuke utterly pissed since he was already mad because he couldn't bet Haku, so he wanted to train. So Sasuke spent his day helping at the bridge and then just trying to wake up Naruto with his death glares. It was about five days after the battle that Naruto woke up.

"Finally," Sasuke sighed, and he stopped leaning against the wall and left the room.

After Sasuke left Hinata came in. "How are you feeling?" She asked sweetly.

"Hungry," Naruto responded, and on cue his stomach growled.

Hinata giggled at Naruto's stomach. "I'll go ask Tsunami to go make you some food," she said before she left the room.

"Thanks."

"Naruto!" Inari yelled as he tackled the already sore boy. "You've been sleeping forever. I want you to show me some of those moves that you did. That Haku girl showed me some but they were too hard."

"Hey, what makes you think mine will be any easier? I am a demon you know," Naruto flashed his eyes to scare the boy, but had no results.

"Whatever just hurry up," Inari said as he got up and left the room.

"I'll come out after I eat," Naruto shouted at his retreating form.

Then he heard a knock at the door and Haku's voice. "May I come in?" She asked politely.

"Sure."

"How are you feeling?" She asked when she came in and sat in front of Naruto.

"Pretty good."

She smiled in relief. "That's good. I wanted to ask you what you meant when you said you were like me."

"Straight to the point aren't we." Naruto laughed as he rubbed the back of his head in typically fashion.

"I'm sorry if it's too soon but I wanted to know." Haku apologized with a look of shame.

"It's okay. You deserve to know really since I saw your past without your permission." Naruto denied.

"You saw my past." Haku said in shock.

"Yeah, but only certain parts, I don't know how it happened. It was when I snapped and went all crazy like. When I had pinned you down and looked into your eyes I went into a trance and saw your past. It was truly an accident and I don't know how it happened. But after I saw your past it made me realize that you were like me. All my life I have had no parents, no friends, or anyone who really care for me everyday. My whole village hates me beside a choice few. They saved me from my despair. I couldn't bear to kill or hurt anyone that was like me, someone you had grown up with the same pain as me, someone who only wanted to be acknowledged for who they are not what they are." Naruto explained with his eyes showing the sincerity of his words.

"Thank you," Haku said with her eyes on the verge of tears. She was moved by how kind Naruto words were. "What happened to you at your village?" She asked innocently. "I mean why do the villagers hate you?"

"Well do you know the story of Kyūbi attacking Konoha?" Naruto asked and Haku nodded. "Well that makes this easier. According to the story our 4th Hokage was able to kill the demon at the cost of his life, but that is far from the truth."

"What really happened?"

"Well, the 4th in fact defeated the demon along with another. The truth is the Kyūbi did not attack out village. It was a shape shifting demon named Umu that attacked in the form of the Kyūbi. The 4th was able to get the help of Kyūbi to defeat the other demon."

"How'd he do that?"

"Well, Kyūbi and Umu were enemies and though both hated Konoha Kyūbi did not want Umu to be the one to destroy it. So, the there fought each other and in the end the 4th sealed them into a newborn child."

"How do you know all this, I mean you would have been a baby when this happened, right?" Haku asked right before it dawned on her. "Oh, you were the child the demons were sealed into."

"Yeah, my whole village thinks that I'm the reincarnation of the Kyūbi, they don't even know about Umu. They treat me like a murderer," Naruto said with a bit of malice.

"It must have been tough growing up." Haku sympathized with Naruto.

"Yeah, but I survived," He said cheerfully. "Oh, can you not talk about this in front of the others?" Naruto asked with a serious look.

"Yeah, but why?" Haku asked confused.

"No one but Kakashi and Kiiori know. I have never told anyone but you."

"Why? I mean they're your friends, they'll understand,"

"I'm not sure about that," Naruto said softly with doubt weakening in his voice. "Imagine if you were to go back to your home village and make friends. Then imagine what would happened if you told them about your bloodline." After he said this Haku understood his doubt. It didn't matter how much people say that they will understand, it only matter how they would react to what they were told. In Haku's case everybody in her village hated her bloodline and killed all the people that had it, even the children her aged despised it. She realized that in Naruto village it must be similar; surely many of the children had lost people in their families due to the battle, and they surely hated the demons.

"I won't tell anyone," Haku assured Naruto with a compassionated voice.

"Thanks," Naruto sighed in relief. "I don't know who life was harder, yours or mine." Naruto joked trying to change the atmosphere.

"Hello?" Kiiori called from the outside the room.

"Come in sensei." Naruto said and Kiiori came in along with some others.

"Yo," Kakashi waved as he followed Kiiori.

"Hello," Tsuki and Zabuza said together.

"Whoa! Look at this, the most visitors in a lifetime," Naruto joked.

"Just wanted to tell you that the missions over and we'll be leaving tomorrow." Kiiori told Naruto.

"That's fine and all, but what's with the crowd?" Naruto asked confused.

"Well, we just wanted to thank you becoming Haku's friend." Zabuza admitted.

"It's no problem, in fact, why don't you guys come back with us back to Konoha," Naruto smiled at his genius.

"What?!" Everybody else in the room choked.

"What? I think it's a great idea. Konoha get some good ninja and you guys get to stop running around. Perfect for both sides." Naruto explained.

"That not the problem, brat. The last thing you knew we were enemies, but now your offering to make us your allies. How do you know that we aren't waiting for the right time to kill you guys?" Tsuki objected.

"Well, the right time would have been when I was asleep." Naruto smirked. Everybody knew he was right. Naruto might not be able to even hit any of them normally, but if he snapped again it would surely enable him to defeat them, thus not making fighting worth the risk.

"Naruto, it's not that simple," Kakashi chided.

"Actually, know that I think about it, it seems like a good idea," Kiiori concurred with Naruto.

"Well, we'll have to talk about this in private," Tsuki stated and she got up and Haku and Zabuza followed.

Once Kakashi was sure they were out of hearing range he spoke again. "Kiiori, you only agree because you got a thing for Tsuki."

"I'm appalled that you think I would put my own interests before the villages, though I'm not saying I don't get a benefit," Kiiori acted with fake disgust.

"Yeah, whatever, but seriously what's our plan. Do we really want to bring them back? I think we should ask the whole team," Kakashi got them back on topic.

"Good idea, I'll go get everyone," Naruto agreed and he got up and left the room. It took him about ten minutes to find everybody because Sasuke was out in the forest training. Needless to say Sasuke wasn't happy that his training was interrupted, but he came because Naruto said Kakashi wanted him there.

After everyone was there Kiiori spoke. "Okay, what we're all are here for. You all know that we are leaving tomorrow and when we were talking to Zabuza and his group, Naruto had the idea to invite them to become ninja of Konoha. I think it is a good idea, but Kakashi isn't so sure yet."

"Yes, I don't know how much we can rely on them, I can tell Haku is trustworthy but Tsuki and Zabuza are wary, so I believe we should have a vote," Kakashi explained, pointing out his reason for disagreeing. "I vote not to bring them."

"I vote take them," Kiiori said.

"I'm with him," Naruto pointed to Kiiori.

"I don't know how much we can trust them, but Naruto-kun thinks it a good idea, I'll agree with him," Hinata said.

"I'm with Kakashi-sensei, I don't think we can trust them enough to fight for us," Sakura said.

Everyone looked at Sasuke for his decision but Kakashi spoke before he could say anything. "If he doesn't think they should come it ends in a tie and in that case we won't bring them, because being unable to decide is the same as not deciding at all. So what do you say Sasuke?"

"Personally, I could care less what happens to them, but I would only want them to come if they can make me stronger." Sasuke spoke without any emotion, showing no interest in the matter.

"So we decided that they can come if they want." Kiiori finished up the discussion.

"Good, now I'm gonna go eat, I'm starving," Naruto sighed and left the room. When he got down to the Kitchen he saw Tsunami standing there waiting for him.

"I made you a bowl of ramen for you," she said sweetly.

"Thanks, I'm so hungry after not eating for five days," Naruto said before he sat down and ate in less than a minute. "You didn't happen to make any extra?" he asked nervously.

"Yes, Hinata-chan gave me a heads up," Tsunami said as she poured him another bowl.

"Thanks."

After eating, Naruto went outside to play with Inari. Outside he saw Inari trying to talk to Sasuke, but had no luck. Sakura, Hinata, and Haku were all talking to each other. Tsuki and Kiiori were talking to each other and seemed to be getting along well. Zabuza and Tazuna were talking to each other about something that seemed important. Kakashi was doing what he always did with his free time, read Icha Icha Paradise.

"Hey, Inari, let me show you some cool moves," Naruto said to get the boys attention. Inari immediately left Sasuke and ran up to Naruto.

"Are you gonna show me some awesome move?" Inari asked with excitement flowing from his voice.

"Well, I'll show you some moves that are simple moves for now, but next time I'll show you awesome stuff."

"First off is the henge…" Naruto trailed off into a description about the technique and showed him a normal one. For the rest of the day Naruto showed Inari basic academy level techniques that the bow could practice. He also showed him how to throw shuriken and kunai. When it got dark they all went inside and ate dinner. After dinner they all went to bed early so they could have enough energy for a long day's trip back to Konoha.

The next day everybody was up bright and early to get there thing together and leave. Most of there things were already packed except for toiletries and a pair of clothes for that day. After everybody was done changing and packed they met outside. Inari, Tazuna, and Tsunami had also woken up to see off there new friends.

"Everybody ready?" Kakashi asked and got affirmatives from everybody.

"Good, now what have you decided?" Kiiori asked Zabuza.

"We discussed it and decide it would be best if only Haku went with you," Zabuza informed them.

"We know that she hasn't had the best life since she been with us and we want he to have a fresh start, plus we've had a job offer here." Tsuki said with a sense of regret.

"That's good," Kiiori said optimistically.

After everyone said their goodbyes, some more teary than others, they set off to Konoha.

Hello again, after an extremely insight review from a reader I realized something, this story must undergo (I think undergo is one word) a revision. Hopefully it won't deter reader's, but some things will change (Naruto's and Hinata's relationship will go at a consideralbly slower pace. Just fair warning for fans of that pairing). Also if you reader's could give any feedback for this revision I would be deeply grateful. When the revision is done, the story will be updated all at once, either by replacing the chapters or creating a new title and deleting the old one, but it will probably be the former. Thanks for reading and please give your thoughts.
