Where do I Belong? Chapter 14: Informed, a naruto fanfic

AN: Hey everyone. Thank you for all the reviews and I'm sorry that I've been much to busy to update. I am also considering cutting this story short. Like I will finish it and give all the characters closure but I don't know if I want to make this story as long as I had originally planned. I'm still debating it in my mind. Anyways for now, hopefully you'll enjoy the latest installment

(End of last chapter)

After finishing off in the shower Naruto and Sakura sat on their bed. That's when Sakura had and angry look on her face, "NARUTO! I don't remember giving you permission to make love to me from behind!"

"Hehe" chuckled Naruto while rubbing the back of his neck.

Sakura may not have thought it was proper, but it wasn't the last time it happened.

That aside the two lovers snuggled in each other's embrace. Finally having no more worries or insecurities threatening their relationship.

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

It was early in the morning and Naruto awoke with great seriousness. His blood ran cold as a shiver crawled down his spine. He crept out of bed slowly so he would not wake Sakura up. He turned to look at her snore cutely 'god you're so fucking beautiful' he thought.

He went to his closet and extracted his Azura cloak. He put it on warily for he knew that this morning was going to be complicated, if not dangerous. He slung the cloak over his shoulders and Hiraishined out of his nice apartment. Right before he left he whispered quietly enough so that Sakura wouldn't wake "I'll be back Sakura. They can't make me leave you"

In an instant he was on the street walking towards the big gates of Konoha. As he walked through the city district he found Gaara sitting on the swing outside of the academy. He too was in his Azura cloak.

"I was waiting for you" spoke the red-haired demon vessel. "I knew I'd find you up and about now".

Naruto turned to Gaara looking hard because it was still too early for the sun to be seen.

"They're here. They're waiting outside of the gate"

Gaara nodded in silent agreement, "it has been two months you know. I guess time flies when… you're in love" Gaara had trouble finishing the sentence, the concept of love still new to him. However he could not deny or lie to himself, he loved Hinata dearly. Naruto helped pull Gaara out of his insanity, Hinata helped pull him out of his loneliness, which was what caused his insanity in the first place.

"Yeah" laughed Naruto softly, "love does manage to speed the up clock no?"

"Lets get going" said Gaara, "we can't keep them waiting for too long"

"Yeah" was all that Naruto said.

The two Azura members stepped up to the giant gates and in front of the city they'd grown to love. They saw the Jounins that were on guard and told them to step aside. The Jounins knew better then to argue with Naruto and Gaara. They were legends in the ninja world, even the name Sannin held no light to the name Azura, more importantly to the term Jinchuuriki.

As Naruto stepped out in front of the gates, the crisp snow making a crushing sound under his boots, he paused. He turned around to look at the four Jounin that had followed him. "It'd be wise if you were to stay inside of Konoha… for your own safety".

One Jounin answered "No Uzumaki-san, it is our duty, as well as yours, to make sure that our city is guarded"

"Suit your self" answered Gaara in his old monotone voice "we're about to meet some dangerous people".

Right after Gaara finished his sentence snow started to swirl fiercely as the wind howled blowing both Gaara and Naruto's hoods off. The Jounins shivered in the cold as Naruto and Gaara just narrowed their eyes and stood still, like stone, in the face of the vicious wind brushing past their faces and causing their hair to waver in motion as it would flow by the two Jinchuuriki.

In the distance, barley visible, Naruto made out two clocked figures slowly walking towards them. As they got closer the signatures of their chakra grew larger and larger.

"Their power is unbelievable" muttered one of the Jounins in absolute fear.

"Are they human?" asked another

"Just as human as Naruto and I are" chuckled Gaara in spite of himself

When the two cloaked figures arrived, their Azura uniforms were easily distinguished. One had navy blue lining, and the other had dark, purple lining.

As the two sets of Azura members stared each other down, the snow itself halted. The two foreign shinobi removed their hoods and let their long and full hair cascade down to their shoulders.

"THEY'RE JUST WOMEN!" shouted one Jounin incredibly.

"Watch your tongue. You don't know whom you speak of!" spoke Naruto in a vicious tone to the ignorant Jounin.

"In fact" continued Gaara, "I suggest you retreat to Konoha before you say some more stupid things and end up losing your life in the process".

The four Jounins listened to Gaara and retreated back within the borders of Konoha.

Naruto and Gaara now turned their attention to the two Azura members.

"I didn't think that you two would be here" spoke Naruto calmly "I was expecting Vegito".

"He's caught up on an important assignment at the moment" spoke the first woman. Her dark blue hair blowing gently in the soft winds that began to stir once again.

"So he sent Kiara and myself to get the story straight from you Naruto. You as well Gaara" finished the second woman as her bright blonde hair waved in a similar manner.

"Wouldn't know how to explain it to you Yugito" sighed Naruto, "Gaara and I, we can't leave this place. It's our home"

Kiara then spoke "Vasto and Narya already informed us about your decision; we're just here to… change your mind"

Naruto sighed once again as he looked at Kiara. She looked exactly like Princess Koyuki, whom he'd saved in Snow country when he was younger; except Kiara had even more radiance and beauty. However in Naruto's mind Sakura was, without a doubt, the most beautiful woman in the world.

"I… we're sorry Kiara. We can't come back; the people here are the most important people in our lives. They're the people we love…" finished Naruto with a frown

"And what do you have to say about this Gaara?" asked Yugito in a demanding way.

"All I have to say is that I've found someone whom I can't go to sleep without. Taking her away from me would be worse then returning control of my mind back into the hands of my inner demon" stated Gaara in a very sharp tone.

Both Kiara and Yugito frowned.

"You really love her… don't you Naruto" exclaimed Kiara, "she broke your heart a year ago and you still found it in you to love her again. To care about her even more then you care about us"

"I-It isn't like that. Sakura… she never broke my heart intentionally, it was just bad timing on my part and choosing to assume the worst when I saw the situation" Naruto held his forehead as though he was frustrated, "if she had intentionally broken my heart, I wouldn't have come back to her. I came back because she loves me as much as I love her. She told me once that'd she'd throw away her life to be with me for an extra five minutes when we were facing Kakuzu. That's when Gaara came into the picture. And Kiara-chan you know Gaara and I love all you like family, we really do"

Then Yugito spoke up "ok I can see why Naruto stayed, but you Gaara, why are you staying? You lived in Suna and threw away your Kazekage status to become part of Azura. What makes Konoha more important then being Kazekage, more important then your fellow Jinchuuriki?"

"She does" was Gaara's response, "I felt a bond when I was in Azura. One that I'm very grateful for and value very highly… but what I feel when I'm with her… I just can't lose that feeling. I'd throw away anything for her, my own life included. Naruto told me to fight for the people I cared for, and I did against Deidara; but no one ever inspired me to protect the things I cherish as much as she has… and that's because I cherish her above all things"

Yugito was speechless "I-I'm so sorry, but we can't-"

"Let them be" interrupted Kiara with a sad look on her face while almost coming to tears, "I'm happy for you Naruto, and you as well Gaara. I hope the love you find holds you over for the rest of your lives"

As Kiara finished speaking she turned around to hide any weakness, because even though they were sent to force Naruto and Gaara back (and the two women were on par with Naruto and Gaara's ability for they to were Jinchuuriki) she couldn't bear to fight, or possibly hurt them. The Azura were like family they knew each others pain so well that they could relate to each other on an intimate level. She knew how much she sought to be loved and she couldn't take what she knew to be such a great feeling away from two men who were as brothers to her.

Naruto frowned for he knew why Kiara was sad. It was no secret that Kiara was in love with Vegito. They'd known each other longer then Naruto had known Sakura. They, along with Raiden had been through so much together that them bonding was inevitable. However, Vegito wouldn't allow himself to return Kiara's feelings. He didn't shun her like Sasuke used to shun Sakura, he gave her compliments and was always there for her, but when things got personal and when it was just Vegito and herself he'd always push her away because he could look into the memories of his father, the Yondaime Dakukage, and feel the pain his father felt when his wife (Vegito's mother) passed away. That was

why he never allowed himself to get close when it came to love.

Thinking of this made Naruto even more depressed. He knew that conflict with Vegito was inevitable. He didn't want to fight Vegito; this wasn't due to fear, because Naruto Uzumaki feared no man (he feared Sakura some times, but no man none the less). He didn't want to fight Vegito because Vegito was a very good friend. He would get catatonic when it came to love, but when it came to friendship, he was as good a friend as you could get. Naruto looked back into his memories and recalled times he had with Azura.

Flash back 14 months ago

Naruto had just Hiraishined himself to Iwikagure and was now looking around. He was on a beach. It was a little chilly, yet the weather was much milder then in Konoha. There wasn't any snow during winter here. He credited that to the fact that they were near a large body of water, mainly the ocean, and that would keep weather conditions milder all year round. Anyone who thought Naruto to be an idiot was sadly mistaken for he knew his shit.

He got up with his backpack full of his stuff (though the few valuables and thousands of Ramen packets were sealed in scrolls so they'd be easier to carry round). Then he was brutally interrupted by the cruel and remorseless taunting of the Kyuubi.

'HAHAHA FOOL! YOU HAVE NO WHERE TO GO ANYMORE. THE ONES IN YOUR PATHETIC, PUTRID VILLAGE HATE YOU. EVEN THE PINK-HAIRED WHORE YOU LOVE TURNED HER BACK ON YOU. AND SO YOU ARE CURSED BY YOUR FUCKING FATHER WHO DARED SEAL ME IN YOUR INSIGNIFIGANT SELF', howled the Kyuubi deep within Naruto's mind.

"SHUT UP, WHY WON'T YOU EVER SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU OVER-SIZED URBAN RAT!" yelled Naruto out loud for a long time. There was no one there for it was about 5 in the morning on a dark beach in Iwikagure. He yelled with his hearts content because he was hurt, frustrated and just needed to let go for his sanity's sake

"It gets pretty hard when the tenant bothers you all the time doesn't it?" spoke a voice which Naruto could not recognize.

Naruto turned in the direction of the voice and looked at him. The sun was just creeping up so his face became visible. He had dark black hair that gave of a red tint when the sunlight hit it. His hair was spiky but in a neat sort of way (his hair was shaped in the exact same way as Hitsugaya Tōshirō, from Bleach, except as mentioned above, it was a different color). His eyes where black, except the outline of his pupil was grey, almost silver in color. The bags under his eyes where half as long as Itachi's, but they didn't make him look cold or evil. In fact his face looked friendly and in a weird way this boy seemed to understand Naruto perfectly.

"W-what did you say?" asked Naruto in a bewildered tone 'does he know about Kyuubi? FUCK! I wanted to get away from people who knew about the damn demon' he thought to himself.

"I said that it isn't easy when it always threatens you, or reminds you that it will always be there. When it speaks of how alone you are. I don't know you very well, but I promise you that you aren't alone" spoke the mysterious raven-haired boy.

Naruto looked at him once again. The foreign teenager had a very strong presence, yet he could feel something else lurking within him. He felt a link between his inner turmoil and that of this boy.

"You're like me aren't you?" questioned Naruto

"Well I don't know, I think my hair looks a little cooler then yours, and I'm not really into the whole orange thing, but hey, to each his own right?" joked the teen in spite of the situation.

Naruto couldn't help but chuckle, "if you think this is bad, you should meet my friend Lee. He's got the whole green spandex thing going, and I'm not even going to start talking about his hair"

Both boys started laughing hysterically at poor Lee's expense.

"Vegito! Where the fuck did you go?" spoke another foreign voice. This voice had a more serious edge to it, "Kiara is going nuts! Why do you always gotta pull this shit by getting up at 5 in the fucking morning?"

"Actually its 6 now I think Raiden" answered the boy whose name Naruto figured to be Vegito.

The so-called Raiden found his way over to Vegito and Naruto as he heard the response.

Raiden reminded Naruto of Sasuke. He had a very "Uchiha" kind of look. His hair was spiked and he had bangs falling over his forehead protector. (His hair is a mix between partially Vegeta's DBZ for the way it's spiked up though hot to that extreme extent and partially Sasuke for the way the bangs hang over his forehead protector)

His hair was colored Blonde (it looked almost dark yellow google it, the first one that comes up is the color) and in between every spike there was black hair (his hair resembles Zapdos' wings). His eyes were black as night. The same onyx tone that Sasuke's were. He however also seemed to be a good guy. A little more broody then Vegito yet his eyes where sincere ones.

"Who's your friend?" asked Raiden

"Uhhmm" Vegito chimed "never got your name, how rude of me"

"Naruto" was all said Blonde spoke.

"Well Naruto it's nice to meet you?" spoke the Raven-haired boy "I'm Vegito, and my friend with the pineapple up his ass is Raiden"

"Asshole" responded the irritated Raiden, "don't mind the douche bag" Raiden told Naruto as he sighed.

"Ah you know I'm kidding" laughed Vegito; "by the way, he's one of us" he finished in a serious tone.

"Wow!" exclaimed Raiden in a rare slip of his cool collected self, "you're right I could feel the presence inside of him"

"Whew I thought that was just me" said Naruto "there seems to be some link between us eh"

"Yeah there is" answered Raiden.

"Where do you live?" asked Vegito

Naruto then began to inform the two of his situation and why he left. He didn't care that they'd just met, he felt as though he'd known these guys all his life.

"Well you can stay with us, I don't think Kiara would mind" pondered Vegito.

"Are you sure?" asked Naruto, "We just met"

"Hey you're a Jinchuuriki like us. I know how it feels to be lonely. And as long as you know Raiden, myself, and eventually Kiara; you'll never feel lonely again"

And so Naruto moved in with Vegito, Raiden, and Kiara. Though this was to Kiara's discontent, another male in the home wasn't going to be a good thing.

6 months later

Azura had formed itself and they were comfortable with each other. The day was sunny and the temperature warm at noon. Summer was amazing in Iwikagure.

The 10 members of the group were on the beach enjoying the warm sun.

Narya had let Vasto run lotion on her exposed back after he begged for about an hour. However he was sent flying into the water after his hands wandered from her back to her ass.

Shujinko was playing Shogi with Kai on the beach while Yugito was commentating, much to Kai's anger because he was losing and Yugito held no blows when describing his bad choice of moves.

Raiden had fallen asleep which lead to him being put under sand and resembling Kakashi's decapitation technique he'd used on Naruto during his first bell test.

Naruto, Vegito and Kiara were building a sand castle. It looked pretty good and they were satisfied with it until Gaara spoke up.

"Nice castle" he snickered.

Vegito, Naruto and Kiara turned to look at him. They then put on the biggest anime-style shocked face ever, with the big white eyes and the anime sweat drop down the side of their face. The reason was that Gaara was sitting in his own GIANT SANDCASTLE. It was actually the size of a real CASTLE. The on difference being that Gaara's throne was at the top so everyone could see him. He sat with one leg crossed over the other. He had a smug smirk on and was even wearing a crown made of sand which lay tilted on his head.

However the next thing he knew Gaara was being washed away by a giant water jutsu done by Kiara, which also destroyed his magnificent castle.

"SHANNARO!" Kiara yelled as she formed the thumbs up sign.

Everyone started laughing, even Gaara. Then the laughing stopped.

"Oh god you guys HELP!" screamed Kiara

She was bent over Vasto and she was giving him mouth to mouth. He seemed very still

"What happened?" asked Kai

"I punched him into the water for caressing my bum. He must've passed so I went in looking r him and I found him not moving" she said in between breaths while continuously pressing her lips to his and giving him mouth to mouth. "I've been doing this for 5 minutes and he still hasn't come to!"

She continued to breath into his mouth. Everyone was serious, and then Naruto laughed but not out load for he looked down at Vasto and realized that Vasto had also made the thumbs up sign while he was receiving CPR. Narya didn't notice and kept pressing her mouth to his.

The rest of the group saw this and couldn't help but start laughing. Vasto was faking for the sake of his life, because when Narya found out he'd get beat so bad he'd wish he had died.

End Flash back

Naruto laughed at the memories. He really loved his friends in Azura. He would find a way to make sure that they remained a part of his life as much as Sakura did.

"Naruto, Gaara" spoke Yugito "There is something else more serious I have to inform you of. It's the reason that Vegito sent us instead of coming himself"

"What is it?" responded Naruto.

"Vegito informed us of a rising army. A conflict greater then the two shinobi wars put together is on its way. It is being controlled by Akatsuki. They were created by the slaves that Orochimaru had. They've all gone into their level two curse seals and are permanently stuck that way. They wear the suits of the immortals (if you've seen the movie 300, they're dressed like the immortals in that film, the black ninja suits along with the silver armor). Their army is monstrous"

"How monstrous?" asked Gaara.

"Vegito said they number 500 thousand. And they plan to attack in three months" said Kiara calmly

"Impossible" chided Naruto. "First of all, how did they stay out of politics and the media? Surely there would be news among the councils of the Elemental countries. Secondly, how did they grow to be that big, that population is large enough to its own country? Konoha doesn't even have one thousand ninja"

"To answer your second question, we can thank Orochimaru and Zetsu for the number of their army. Zetsu is like a plant, and plants reproduce pollen on a mass scale. Orochimaru experimented with his DNA and found a way to reproduce Curse Seal clones at a mass rate though there were no more resources to go above 500 thousand. That was the benefit of Orochimaru rejoining for Akatsuki. They literally have a monopoly over all of war" spoke Kiara. "And now to answer as to how they've stayed hidden. They've been in fire country all along. In the south west quadrant. They haven't even been bothered at all"

Gaara responded furiously "There is an ANBU division responsible for checking those areas. Why haven't they notified anyone?"

"Gaara…" Naruto responded because he'd been struck by the horrible truth, "the division responsible for that quadrant is… Root… Danzo's division of ANBU. He's… he's been in on it all along. It's all coming together. The last time Orochimaru attacked Konoha at the Chuunin was because Danzo kept the Village's media in check and allowed them to have cover."

Everyone was quiet

Naruto then spoke again, "Akatsuki realized that they couldn't extract the Tailed demons and Winged Gods from us… so they made a new plan which involved Orochimaru's science?"

"We have to inform the other Nations. We have to fight together or we will all die" spoke Gaara.

"Look Kiara, Yugito. The business between Vegito, Gaara, and myself is going to have to be put on hold because now there are greater dangers to be concerned with. Please tell him that we will take care of this when the time comes" said Naruto a little worried himself.

"I understand Naruto. Be careful and I hope we see each other soon" said Kiara

"Take care you two" said Yugito right after.

And with that the two of the three beautiful, yet deadly, women of Azura disappeared into the night.

Naruto turned to Gaara, "We have to go see Tsunade, and especially Danzo!"

The two Jinchuuriki males turned around and headed straight for Hokage Tower.

AN: Ayaaa sorry for the wait my friends. I have been SOOOOO busy. Anyways I hope you liked this chapter. I used some themes from the movie 300. I also hope you enjoyed my OC bits and Naruto's flashbacks with Azura. Next chapter I plan to make it a SasuIno, not a lemon though. I want to show that their relationship isn't just so that I could have them paired up. I want it to have some meaning. Also in this fic I've grown to like Sasuke (nowhere near as much as Naruto so don't worry lol) because I've made him really OC and he isn't much of an asshole. Anyways Read and Review. Till next update SAYANORA!
