With Optimus

He was racing through the trees close to the border of fire country to wind country, only to stop when he thought for a moment to throw off anyone that was chasing him, once he felt the security seals went off knowing soon they will come after him, so he transforms into his Cybertronian form and forces his chakra to his Pedes and jumped over the border and some couple of yards away. once Lending he created a large dust cloud covering him, from Helm to Pedes (A/N if any of you guys don't know what am I talking about pedes and helm are transformers body parts that I'm going to use in the story) as he began to study the surrounding of the landscape to be surprise, he had heard about wind country being a vast of sand for miles.

He let out a sigh he was about to proceed by foot but only to stop and think, won't people freak out to see a giant foot prints, that's no ordinary human could make besides the Akimichi clan. And what business dose the Akimichi clan have within wind country, that could rise red flag for war and he couldn't have that. So, he looked throughout his memories to see himself transforming into his vehicle mode but that is a big problem on itself since this world is not, advance in technology for that as he digs deeper within his memory banks, to remember when he was an archivist finding out that most cybertronians have locked away alternate forms.

So, he believes he could unlock these alternate forms he pictures something that would protect, its family that's stand with pride as soon he pictured it. Optimus saw, it clearly it was an image of a lion he felt the familiarly of his body transforming, once finished he let out a mighty roar that shakes the ground. As he stops roaring he felt a little dizzy his body, has to adjust to his new changes he believes now that he became a triple changer it was a rare thing in Cybertron, has he noticed something he could see clearly hear sharper feel the wind passed his mighty mane that when he remembered he was on a mission to help others and protect this planet from the Decepticons and the others just like them he started running too Suna.

As Optimus continued running he could see the village for a couple of miles away, "It won't be long now." Optimus thought excitement as he continued his trek towards the village.

And that village just happened to have a young sand jinchuuriki.

Back in The Hidden Leaf Village

In the Village Hidden in the Leaves, Minato Namikaze order his ANBU to find his son as he told Kakashi and the other Jounin, he quickly told them that Naruto ran away, shocking them, and to hurry and find him. The Jounin left and Minato prayed that Naruto was still okay.

Tsume used her hounds to follow Naruto's scent only to come up empty as the scent died at the border of fire country where he disappeared. The hounds began to whimper as they smelled something else and whatever it had scared them. Tsume noted that whatever the scent was it started to disappear as well. She wouldn't admit but the mysterious scent got her shivering a little in fear.

But the Jounin knew one thing.

Whatever that scent was, it had Naruto.

It wasn't long that the few people receive letters from Naruto their truly heart broken by the news. None more so than Little Hinata as she overheard the conversation, as she went to see if Naruto was with Hiruzen, she hope that this was a cruel joke that someone is playing on her boy she was wrong after hearing the news for Hiruzen, she fainted on the ground.

The moment she woke up, she broke down into tears and hugged Hiruzen, crying out Naruto's name. After she calmed down, she went and told the others who care for Naruto, causing shock, sadness, and anger. Shock that Naruto ran away, sadness that someone took him, and anger to the Namikaze family.

Each one of them who cared for Naruto who received the letter from him, where he hid his journals where he writes the day's events how is Siblings treated then had his parents to prove that he was right.

Enough was enough.

So, on the day when Hikari, Mito and Menma went to the Academy, Hiruzen marched right to the Estate with a scowl on his face. While holding Naruto Journals and Mito diary He walked up to the front door and knocked on it repeatedly. The door opened, showing it was tear eyes Kushina Uzumaki.

"Old Man?" Kushina asked in a surpried tone. "What are you doing here?"

"Hello Kushina." Hiruzen said, in an emotionless voice, surprising and confusing her more.

"Here I wanted to give you these, there Naruto Journals." Hiruzen hand over Naruto Journals and Mito diary to Kushina. Hiruzan was about to walk away before he looked over his shoulder and told her to read them she'll find out what happened to Naruto.

Kushina open daughter's diary up and opened up a page, begin to read she had looks of horror on her faces as she dropped the book and covered her mouth.

Inside the diary were all the things that Mito and Menma had done over the years. Her daughter and son were...they were a bunch of...lying little brats! She couldn't believe it but here it was before her eyes! Everything that they said Naruto had done was really them and they have been bullying him! Naruto...he was the real good child. He was innocent all along...

Meanwhile with Optimus

It was early morning before Optimus reach the village as he near the village he changes back to his human form and show all of paper work to the guards and let him in, as he walks into the village he heard children screaming.

"Run Gaara's coming!", the group of kids screamed and ran away as fast as their little legs could carry them.

"W-Wait," said a little voice that seemed to come from the source that they were running away from. "I just want to play," the voice was soft, but Optimus could still hear it due to his keen Audio receptors.

'Well this is different,' he thought as he listened to the scene at the entrance of the alley way with a frown. 'Kids just usually walk away or ignore the kid they don't want to play with, not run away from them as a hungry scraplets was on their tail.'

The sparklings were so focused on running away that they dropped the ball that they were playing with, the ball bounced a few times before rolling Optimus way.

The Autobot took a 'look' at the kid, 'He's skinny and seemed really tired and sad. All in all, I don't see why those kids were running away from him, he isn't scary at all. If anything, they were running away from his big gray cloud of depression and sadness.' Optimus picked up the ball and walked over to him. The little boy heard someone coming and started to stare up at him.

"Here you go little one." Optimus said and held the ball out to him. He didn't move Optimus looked concern "What wrong little one?"

"Why?", he whispered. His voice sounded really small and soft, as if he couldn't believe that someone actually talked to him. From the boy heartbeat seemed to prove from his Audio receptors and scanner as well.

"Why what little one?" Optimus asked, puzzled. 'Doesn't he want to play? he thought. "Why aren't you running away from me? Everyone else does it." His voice seemed to sound really desperate. 'Is my answer that important?' He didn't seem to have any muscle on him, just like me how I was treated in my old life. "I'm not afraid of you little one and all I see is a little boy when needs a friend and I will be your friend."

Gaara smiles and Tears came down his face and jump into Optimus arms and cry his heart out, knowing that he finally had a friend that will play with him. "it is all right little one I know how it feels to be all alone, it's almost unbearable isn't it? The feeling of being all alone, I know that feeling. I've been there, in that dark and lonely place. But now there are others, and soon you have people who really care for you Gaara."

Gaara looked up from the man's shirt and saw the man neon blue eyes we're telling him nothing but the truth and with no lies or deception but kind and gentle truth. "Come little one let's play." Optimus said while still holding the ball Gaara was hesitant to grab the ball. "…I do…but…," Gaara said shyly. His heart beat was rising.

'So, he does want to play, but he is scared of telling me something,' "But?", he pushed. "No one would play with me before", he shuffled his feet. Optimus looked at Gaara "I'll play with you, what do you want to play?"

"…I don't know…never played anything before.", he said. 'Well no wonder he was depressed. He doesn't know how to have any fun,' he thought and huffed 'This is sad no youngling or sparkling should be alone with no friends or anyone to play with.' "If you don't know then I'll pick the game.," Optimus said, trying to remember a human game that Raphael told once that had to do with a ball. There is basketball, soccer and football deciding that soccer was the best besides the ball was round he told Gaara about all the rules to play soccer and created two goals posted, it wasn't long that both of them were playing and having fun until the sun went down Gaara was relentless to go back home, but Optimus convince him otherwise that he will be here tomorrow waiting for him.

Earlier when the two were playing

ANBU Hawk didn't like this mission at all. Simply watch Gaara and determine if he was a threat or not and report to the Kazekage about his activites was the easy part. But, like the other ANBU that have watched the jinchuuriki he couldn't help but be scared. The kid was clearly unstable and could snap any second at anyone. Everyone in the village knew to stay away from him, and the village didn't have a lot of vistors besides merchants so it was easy for the civilians to giude those visitors away from Gaara, or at least warn them.

'Has no one warned the young man of Gaara!,'he mentally shouted in his mind and hoped that someone, anyone would just come by and call him over just so he wouldn't blow his cover in order to save his from an angry jinchuuriki. 'Of course, he had to pick the number one person to not piss off!' he started to tense, ready to rush in if the sand started to act. what shocked him the most that this mysterious man was playing with Garra and Garra was playing with him.

'NO WAY!, 'Hawk mentally screamed in his head. 'how is this guy not even dead shouldn't the Sand have attacked him hard like it did many others. 'I must tell the Fourth about this,' he decided and waited until he could report to the kazekage. Observing what Gaara and the strange man would do next.

"see this is fun right, kid, "he bent down to his height. "What's your name?"

he didn't know him? So, that's why he didn't run off. If he told him who he was will he turn and run away like all the others? 'I can only hope…,' he thought as he closed his eyes, not wanting to see his new friend look at him in fear and run away.

Gaara." He waited, waited to hear the footsteps of the man he just played with, running away. But, they never came. He cracked his eyes open just to make sure he didn't disappear. Hoping, hoping that…

"Nice to meet you Gaara, my name's is Optimus"

"...You stayed?"

He cocked his head. "Do you want me to go?"

"N-no, but-"

"Then I'm staying. No child should be left behind that's what I believe and I see that you are special just like me. " His voice held so much authority behind it that Gaara knew that the conversation was over. "Anyways, see you tomorrow, meet you right here at the same spot, okay? When the sun rises." With that he stood up and started to walk away.

He will get to see him again. That thought alone made a smile appear on his face as he nodded furiously and started to run home. He couldn't wait for tomorrow.

As Optimus felt so Garra made to his home he made his way to a hotel check that a room under his name and went up to the balcony I looked up at the stars, "With the All Spark lost among the Stars, we cannot return life to our planet. And fate has yielded its reward: a new worlds to call... home. We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight... but watching over them in secret... waiting... protecting. I have witnessed their generosity their courage and kinds, and though we are worlds apart, like us, there's more to them than meets the eye. I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars: We are here... we are waiting."
