Disclaimer: Naruto doesn't belong to me. DX

Naruto was in Chiyo's house continuing with his training in medical spells. Naruto was healing a little boy's broken arm at the moment as a test of his skill to Chiyo. Naruto left the others in the care of Aoi and Takashi to help them with their training. It surprised them all when they heard that Kakashi and Iruka have been training as well without their knowledge. Apparently they have read books on chakra and its uses and got it like that! Kyuubi has also been helping them giving them advice and showing them some spells.

"There you go little guy! Be more careful when climbing these trees all right!"

The boy nodded happily as he moved his newly healed arm around. He grinned as Naruto ruffled his hair. The boy's mother quickly took him and gave the money to Chiyo while glaring at Naruto in disgust. The boy waved goodbye happily as he was dragged out.

"When we get home you will scrub that things touch from your body!"

Naruto frowned as he heard the mother's words. He sighed sadly as he placed both hands on the table leaning heavily on them.

Chiyo glared at the woman's retreating back before looking at the money in disgust. She light it on fire in her hand watching as it turned to dust.

"Grandma! What are you doing?" shouted Naruto in surprise.

"Just setting this money that disgusting thing touched. I don't want that ignorant woman's money anyway." She dropped the little pile of ash into a trash bin before going to the back of the house. Naruto followed her.

"Grandma I know that you needed that money. Those villagers have been refusing your business lately making you tight on money," Naruto said with sadness.

"Don't worry about me those idiots will be at my door soon begging me to treat whatever illness or broken bone they have. Besides, I received a letter from Jiraiya telling me about your little quest you will be going on soon."

Naruto looked at her in surprise as she was busy crushing herbs.

"I guess that explains all those soldier, blood, and chakra pills you have been making lately. Oh! And all that medicine you have been making as well."

Chiyo turned around and looked at Naruto who had his head bowed. She walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder giving it a squeeze. Naruto looked up and looked into her gentle eyes.

"Naruto there is no need to hide these things from me because either way I would have found out. You know I support you in any decision you make because I trust in your judgment and ability. Don't ever doubt my loyalty to you. Now what I want to know is if you have told Kyuubi about your little quest and the danger that is sprinkled in it."

Naruto shook his head no making Chiyo sigh.

"Why not?"

"I'm afraid if I do he will lock me up in the house and never let me out of his sight," he said.

"Hm that is true that temperamental fox can be such a worry wart when it comes to you. No doubt that he would have you locked and chained to the house preventing you from even thinking about escape, but Naruto don't you think when he finds out he will be very angry and disappointed that you didn't tell him?"

"I wish I could tell him Grandma, but if I do he will flip out and lock me in the house or he will demand that I let him go with me and I can't have that. There are already people that I wish wouldn't are going with me and I don't want another life to be added to this deadly fight."

"All right, but when you leave I want you to let me tell Kyuubi. It would be best that he knows when he can't stop you."

Naruto smiled and nodded. He hugged Chiyo and stayed like that for a while. When they pulled away Chiyo had some unshed tears in her eyes.

"Who would have thought that my little cry baby Naruto would grow up to be a man with a strong will and determination."

Naruto smiled more as Chiyo spoke those words. Chiyo sighed and wiped two stay tears away before pulling a box from the shelf behind her.

"Today you have proved that my training really was for nothing. You healed a little boy's broken arm, stopped a man from bleeding to death, and helped me deliver a baby the day before; Naruto you make me proud. Now take this as a gift for completing your training and to help you in your future battles. Also these are for Sakura and the girls. Tell them that they were the few of the great ones who I have had the pleasure of training. Now go before it gets dark."

Naruto nodded and pulled her into another hug breathing in her scent one more time before going. She wiped away the few tears from his eyes. He gave her one last smile before leaving. Chiyo watched him leave with a smile.

'Tsubaki you raised a fine boy. Who would have thought that when you said he was destined for greatness it would mean he will save the world.'

Kyuubi was growing suspicious of his little brother's behavior. Now he might act childish and stupid at times, but he was far from stupid. He at first thought it wasn't anything when his little brother started teaching the newcomers how to use chakra, but as soon as they took the training to other levels he started to question his motives. He grew more suspicious when he found out that he and Aoi had a fight. Now Naruto always comes to him with his problems, but this time didn't tell him a thing about the cause of the fight. Also the day that they were going to Jiraiya's he wanted to come, but Naruto told him not to that he and Jiraiya were planning something for Chiyo's birthday and he would just ruin the surprise. Kyuubi didn't fight him on that knowing that he isn't that great at keeping secrets. He grew even more suspicious when Aoi and Takashi started spending more time over here even to the point of sleeping over for a whole week! Now he's not one to pry in his little brothers business, but he was growing really worried about him. Today he was going to get some answers to his questions!

Kyuubi looked up from his work to see Naruto coming back from Chiyo's house. Naruto pulled the reins on Aki making her stop next to Kyuubi. Naruto jumped of Aki and onto Kyuubi making him grunt form his weight.

"What's up with you?" he questioned with a smile on his face.

"I COMPLETED MY MEDICAL TRAINING!" shouted Naruto excitedly.

"WHAT? That's great!"

Kyuubi spun around with Naruto in his arms as they both released woops of joy.

"DO I HEAR YOUTHFUL CELEBRATING GOING ON?"

The brothers cringed as the green blur ran towards them. The blur stopped in front of them revealing the man they dreaded ever inviting to their house to instruct Lee. Might Guy.

"What are you celebrating my youthful friends?" Guy shouted.

"Uh, my completion of my medical training," said the blond.

"That's great!"

Guy pulled Naruto into a youth filled bone crushing hug. Naruto squirmed in the hug not being able to breath.

"Guy you might want to release him before he passes out," said Kakashi as he slowly approached them with the others going at a much faster pace.

Guy quickly let go of Naruto who took a much needed gulp of air. Kyuubi patted his brother's back feeling sorry for him.

"Great you're all here to hear the youthful news! Naruto-kun has finished medical training!"

Everyone shouted congratulations to Naruto.

"We should all celebrate!" shouted Sakura.

"Yes it'll be a great feast!" shouted Ino.

"I-I c-can make a cake," said Hinata.

"I guess I can prepare a-"

"NO! This time we will cook you just sit down and have fun Naru!" Said Sakura as she and the girls ran into the house to get started on the feast.

The boys all entered the house to have some fun while the girls all prepared the feast.

Orochimaru glared at the house that was below the hill he stood on he looked at Kabuto who shifted nervously from his kneeling on the ground.

"You mean to tell me they have five dragons and they are preventing us from getting near them?"

"Y-yes lord Orochimaru that would explain why you were repelled back when you tried to go near the house and why your snakes have failed to kill him."

Kabuto flinched as Orochimaru punched a nearby tree with great force that it fell down knocking another tree down with the force of its fall.

He hissed in anger as he glared down at the house with the celebrating group inside. "They just bought themselves more time, but rest assured that we will get you young light warrior." A snake slithered up his arm and hissed in agreement.

They were all happily celebrating Naruto's success. They ate until their stomachs were about to burst and some even ate past that. They were all still at the kitchen table just chatting and exchanging stories. Naruto was laughing at the story Ino told about the day Kiba went to school with dog shit on his jacket. Kyuubi seeing as Naruto was relaxed and having fun decided now was a good time to ask his questions.

"So Naruto I've noticed that lately you have been acting strange." Kyuubi looked at him from the corner of his eye to see him stiffen then relax once more.

"Oh, how?"

"Well you have been training a lot lately and for what I don't know, you have been giving them more than just chakra lessons, you didn't tell me about your fight with Aoi, and you three have been whispering about something a lot as well that when I enter the room you stop talking about whatever it is you were talking about."

"oh, well that's nothing to worry about Nii-san we're are just training because we have nothing better to do really and they wanted to know more than just how to control chakra so I said ok, I didn't tell you about our little fight because I didn't want to come to you with my problems any more since I'm a teen and can take care of my own problems now and the whispering it's something private that's why we can't tell you," Naruto said all this without stuttering or giving away his lies.

Kyuubi narrowed his eyes at him, he could tell he's lying even if Naruto doesn't know it. The chatter slowed down as they all turned to look at the two brothers.

"Naruto I want to know what you are hiding from me and I want to know it now!"

"It's nothing for you to worry about! So just drop it!"

"No I won't until you tell me what it is!"

"Well I'm not going to tell you so you should just drop it!"

They both looked into each other's eyes with irritation for the other. Kyuubi's eyes hardened more as he looked into his brothers icy blue eyes.

"Fine if you won't tell me then you will stay locked up here until you tell me what is going on."

"You can't lock me in here!"

"and why can't I?"

"B-because you can't!"

"Until you give me a good reason you will stay in here on lock down do you understand me?"

Naruto glared at Kyuubi. Kyuubi made a grab for Naruto's arm. Naruto moved out of his reach and dashed out of the kitchen. Kyuubi chased after him, but he was already out the door with his bag. Kyuubi ran towards the door and looked through the dark trying to see Naruto's bright head of hair.

"Naruto! Naruto come back here!"

Angry Kyuubi punched the door and went back inside. They watched as Kyuubi quickly ran into his room. A moment later he came out with a jacket on and a lantern. He ran out the door slamming it shut. It was silent for a few minutes before Takashi walked to the door and opened it.

"Takashi where do you think you're going? You know it's dangerous out there at night!" said Aoi.

"I'm going out there to find Naruto. It's more dangerous for him to be out there."

Aoi's eyes widened as realization hit her.

"Fuck! I almost forgot! I'm going with you!"

Takashi nodded as they were both about to walk out Sasuke stepped out with them as well as Kiba, Kakashi, and Gaara.

"We're coming with you," said Gaara.

Takashi not having time to argue let them he turned back to the others.

"The rest of you stay here in case Naruto or Kyuubi returns."

They nodded and watched them leave with worry in their eyes.

"Be careful, all of you." Sakura whispered a prayer for their safe return.

Naruto POV

I don't know why I just ran out of the house like that, but I just felt like I had to. If only Kyuubi didn't keep asking me those question then we would have still been having fun and celebrating. I sighed as I stopped catching my breath. I looked up at the star covered sky. I took a deep breath of the cool night air in hopes to calm the fire within me. I exhaled loudly as I pushed my hair back. I looked at my bag that I was holding in my hand. I don't know why I brought it with me I just did when I saw it by the door. I would see the shape of the boxes Grandma Chiyo gave to me.

I looked behind me to where I believed where the house was. I sighed and decided to head back home and apologize for my actions. As I was about to take a step forward I heard a twig snap. My senses were on high alert for any danger. I looked around the forest trying to hear any thing else.

"Hello? Any one there?"

Not getting an answer back I turned back to the path home until I came face to face with a pair of slitted eyes.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

End of NPOV

"Naruto! Naruto! Where are you! Come on answer me!"

Kyuubi bit his bottom lip in worry as he has yet to see or hear of Naruto. It also didn't help that it was a really dark night tonight with the moon barely giving off any light. He kept moving forward hoping that he will find Naruto.

"Kyuubi!"

He turned around hearing someone call his name.

"Kyuubi where are you?"

"Ya where are you ya shitty fox?"

Kyuubi scowled as he identified who the last voice was.

"I'm over here!"

Kyuubi waited for a few minutes until the group made it before him. He looked at all of them with question and irritation.

"We came to help look for Naru-chan! And we won't go back until we find him!" Aoi crossed her arms in front of her chest.

Kyuubi sighed and rubbed his eyes.

"Fine! But you will stick close to me and no stupid stuff! Got that?"

"Yes sir!"

Kyuubi rolled his eyes at Aoi before turning back to his task.

Naruto fell to the ground clutching his shirt as his hear thumped in his chest wildly. He looked up at the grinning face and glared at it.

"What the fuck is your problem Yuki? You could have given me a heart attack!"

Yuki chuckled at Naruto's expression. She then stopped and looked at him with question.

"Sorry, but I just couldn't pass up the chance to scare you and it was fun! Now I want to know why you are here at this time of night when you know it's dangerous."

"W-well I got into an argument with Kyuubi and just stormed out of the house," Naruto mumbled.

Yuki still able to pick up on what he was saying sighed.

"What about?"

"About my behavior lately. He's getting suspicious Yuki and I don't want him to find out about this whole thing."

Yuki looked at him then looked up at the stars.

"Well he was bound to grow suspicious of you and ask questions. What you need to decide is whether or not you should tell him, but for now how about we go to the cave I have something to show you!"

Naruto's curiosity was peaked with the excitement laced in Yuki's voice at what she was going to show him.

"He's left the safety of his house Orochimaru-sama," said Kabuto, "He ran into the forest unarmed."

"Hm? Did he now? I guess this is our chance to get this job done. Then we will go after him." A huge smirk appeared on his face as they walked into the darkness of the forest.

"I was going to show you this in the morning, but since you're here I thought I might as well show you!" shouted Yuki over the sound of the water.

Yuki jumped from rock to rock and looking at Naruto to make sure he was doing fine. Naruto was faring better than in other times. He was quickly climbing up without slipping on the rocks

'Must be all that training he has been doing lately.'

Naruto and Yuki finally made it to the mouth of the cave. Yuki led them through the darkness of the cave to the room filled of glowing water stones. Naruto looked at Yuki waiting for her to show him what she needed to.

"Uh, Yuki why are we in the water stone room?"

"Because this is where it is!"

"Where what is?"

Yuki sighed and shook her head.

"Just shut up and watch."

Naruto watched Yuki as she ran to the other side of the room. Yuki lowered her head like a bull ready to charge. With a chakra fueled push she ran towards the opposite wall and slammed through the wall.

"YUKI! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?" he asked worried for what she did.

"Yep! Just a little dizzy. Come on in already!"

Naruto stepped over pieces of rock to get to the room on the other side of the wall. As soon as he stepped through his eyes widened. In front of him was a reservoir of water that glowed and reflected of the rock walls.

"Cool huh?" said Yuki as she sat next to him.

Naruto just nodded his head as he got down on his knees and crawled over to the edge of the water to see his reflection.

"You found it little one! You found the Seeing Water!"

"Arigato Kaede-san for your help," said Kyuubi.

A brown vixen stood before them in front of her burrow. She gave Kyuubi a kind smile.

"I'm sorry I couldn't help you more Kyuubi-kun. Right now I'm having my own problem. Yuki hasn't returned home yet and I was expecting her back a while ago. If she's not here she must have run across Naruto-chan," said Kaede.

"That is possible Yuki does have that weird sense of hers that tells here when Naruto is in the forest," said Aoi.

"Then I suggest you look for Yuki and if you do find her tell her to get her furry ass home or I will personally rip her tail off."

Kyuubi grinned at Keade.

"Don't worry I'll make sure that she gets the message. Thank you again for your help. Have a good night!"

"Good night! And be aware of your surroundings Kyuubi-kun!"

Kyuubi and the others kept searching for Naruto.

"So all we have to do is find Yuki…HOW are we going to do that?" shouted Kiba.

"We will go where Yuki and Naruto always go to. The waterfall!" said Aoi.

They all nodded as Kyuubi led them to the waterfall. Unknown to them someone else was already there waiting for its prey to come out.

"Yuki! You did it! You found the water!"joy was on his face as he looked into the water.

"Uh, I did?"

"Yes! You did!"

In his excitement Naruto was about to put his hand in the water when the voice yelled at him.

"NO! If you touch it you will contaminate it! Then it won't work!"

"Then how am I supposed to get some of the water?"

"Use your chakra."

Naruto made and oh face. He looked through his bag for something to put the water in. Naruto's hands brushed something cold and smooth.

'What's this?'

Naruto pulled the object out. It was clear glass circular flask. Naruto looked at it before deciding to use it. Naruto concentrated on his chakra as he used it to pull out some of the water. Beads of sweat gathered on his fore head for it needed tremendous concentration. Once Naruto had it close enough he had it go into the flask. Naruto sighed in relief as he closed the flask.

"Got it."

"Great! Now let's go! I needed to be home like hours ago! I hope Ka-san isn't mad." Yuki walked out of the hole she created with Naruto behind her.

Naruto turned around as soon as he heard a noise. He saw as the wall repaired itself with the rocks all going back into their original position.

"That's so COOL!"

"Come on Naru! We have to get on home!"

"Oh right!"

Naruto ran after Yuki. They were both climbing down the rocks when out of ho where a huge purple snake head smashed into the rocks next to them.

"HOLY SHIT!"

"Naruto jump for it!"

Naruto pushed off the rocks in time just as the snake made a second attempt. Naruto fell into the water with huge splash. The water from the fall was hitting him hard making him go deeper into the water. He struggled as he was losing air. He finally got out of the way of the falling water. Once he broke through the surface he took a big gasp of air. Naruto turned around to see Yuki shooting water balls at the snake.

"Yuki move!"

Yuki moved out of the way just as the snake's tail smashed where she stood a few seconds ago. The snake turned its slitted sea green eyes to him. Naruto tried to swim away fast, but got knocked out of the water by the snake's tail.

"Naruto!"

Naruto groaned in pain as he hit his head on the ground. The snake wrapped its tail around his body lifting him up to his level. Naruto struggled in his grip. Naruto's face scrunched up in pain as it tightened its hold.

"You will make a tasty treat, blondie."

Naruto's eyes widened in fright as the snake opened its mouth ready to devour him.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

The snake screamed in pain as fire burned its body. His tail released the hold he had on him making him fall.

"AAAAAAAAAAh!"

"Got ya!"

Kyuubi caught Naruto in midair. They landed safely a few feet away from the thrashing snake. The snake seemed to have remembered about the water around it. It submerged its burning body in the water. The others ran towards Naruto to see if he was all right.

"Naruto!"

Aoi ran up to him and hugged him, then smacked him upside the head.

"Ow! What was that for?"

"For being a complete idiot and running out here at night when you know it's dangerous!"

Naruto smiled apologetically as he rubbed the bump on his head.

"Move!" he shouted as the snake returned with another attack.

"YOU WILL PAY FOR BURNING MY BODY!" shouted the enraged snake.

The snake opened its mouth letting out smoke further impairing their sight. They coughed as they all got lungful's of the smoke. Kyuubi held Naruto close making sure that he didn't lose him.

'Fuck I can't see!' Kyuubi tried to see through the smoke to see where the others and the snake were.

"Young one move!" Naruto snapped his eyes opened as he grabbed hold of Kyuubi and moved out of the way of the snakes snapping mouth.

'I've had enough of this!' Naruto sucked in the little air he could and blew it out in a mighty chakra powered blow sending the smoke away. The others sighed in relief at having the smoke gone.

The sound of amused chuckles and clapping filled the air. They all turned to look where they were coming from. Right there in front of the ruined fall stood a man so pale that it made the moon look colorful.

"Good job young light, but now this is the part where I'll kill you!"

With snake like speed Orochimaru moved towards Naruto with his sword drawn. Naruto wasn't fast enough to move in time as Orochimaru thrust his sword.

"Naruto!"

I know you must hate me for the cliffhanger right there! :D

I hope I did a good job on writing that scene! I really tried to make as best as I could.
