Chapter One : The Uzumaki Ward & The Demon Of The Blood Sand

Konohagakure

The night was silent beside the band of crickets playing a show outside the hyuga compound. Naruto uzumaki was falling alseep and Hinata Hyuga laid beside him enjoying moments like this one that seemed like only a dream nearly a month of days that felt like a wild dream of ups and downs that she thought she could only imagine. The boy who she had crushed on since six years old was not just closer to her in distance but in relationship as well her father not only allowed her to help Naruto out of his rut but also allow the young jinchurki to live with the estate with her. It wasn't a few weeks she want to do again but she would without a second thought to it.

Hiashi Hyuga, hinata father and the hyuga clan head was in a long meeting with other clan head's in the village discussing the topic of one blond uzumaki jinchurki who has been living with his clan. Much of the room weren't fond of the child after his years of pranks on almost everyone in the village and few found the idea the hyuga clan will offer to house and raise the boy was too good to be true.

Tsume Inuzuka head of her own clan openly claim that hiashi was making a power play with the jinchurki "you think cause your the biggest and the richest clan of konoha you have a right to the boy, it's dog shit no one should have influence over the kid like it was agreed on the night after the nine tail attack" she said staring a hole into hiashi forehead.

Another clan head said it seemed like this was a power move for them and tsume nodded "i say the boy moves back to his apartment tomorrow before the hyuga make him a branch slave"

The hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi listens to the bickering over the boy he looked at as a grandson ever patient. Hiashi drew the line insulting his clan tradition and began to return tsume aggression in his civil upper class words. Hiruzen wondered if he brought up naruto as a topic if they fight like genin in the chunin exam or if the night was just bad for everyone. The old warhawk danzo then said the inuzuka are just worried over one clan having a influence then the best option was to place the boy in the root causing hiruzen and hiashi to cringe

"I'll rather rip the boy's heart out and let him die it's kinder" fugaku uchicha said

Shikaku stroke his black goatee "a kid who comes from where he does should not be put in the darkest corner of the village he's a kid with a dream and a struggle and just a kid, i seen how some of you wanted to place the boy in danzo hands but your handing over a super weapon to a man who has a army of his own i say hiashi will raise a fine young man for our village it's far more of a win than handing naruto over to the darkest part of the anbu."

Danzo defended the root as necessary as shinobi or the academy but Hiruzen put his foot down and bannished the idea of naruto and the root being one in the same.

There was still fighting among the clan heads and finnally the elderly kage patient wore too thin and snapped "shut up all of you… i'm sorry but if we stay at this we'll walk away with more problems than we started with this must be a bad night for you to all act like children but i will not postpone this meeting topic for a later day cause somehow i suspect it will become a bad day again on this… now i know you all have strong opinions about where the boy should live but i will put my foot down and dicide for all of you understood?" the hokage asked not a word was said, the fifty some clan heads all sat infornt of the hokage waiting on his words. "I say the hyuga will take naruto uzumaki on as a ward, i entrust much to you hiashi i know you have your own reasons to raise a great shinobi for konoha."

It took twenty minutes for the meeting to abjuern afterwards bith hiruzen and jiraiya met in the hokage office

"You said you wanted a word sarutobi sensei" the old sage asked

He wore a red robe had white hair long as his spine and a headband with the konji for oil

Sarutobi puffed off his pipe and exhaled "jiraiya as you know i was once retired and until the death of Minato Namikaze i was, well cutting to the chase jiraiya i want you to become the fifth…" hiruzen seen jiraiya face and knew the man will not budge on his opinion of the hokage office

"Sensei, if that's all we have to discuss, I think I might start designing the boy's seal before I have to."

"Fine i was pulling that straws asking you i need to talk with you about the coming months the fire lord asked that we put our defferance with the stone aside for a alliance with iwagakure as the fire lord's daughter and the earth lord son are to marry war between our nations should soon be a thing of the pass i imainge that Onoki isn't pleased that his feadual lord is ordering him to make peace and friend with the village that killed his son's and i don't blame him i wouldn't want to make freinds with the nine tail after the death of my wife. I know you have thought about stone ninja after the second and thrid wars but you must see how having four great nations signed a peace treaty will affact Kumoagakure ability to wage the war they been building up for what have you heard of both the stone cloud and him have they been interracting with each other?"

Jiraiya sighed "well sensei i know kumo and iwa had a falling out after the two tail jinchurki blew up a bridge the stone was using to invade the waterfall during the third war but since then my spies haven't reported much more than minor conflicts with their ninja on missions. But that snake bastard he started a village the sound village and report show the new land of fangs village yamagakure is tying close bonds with the sound even a non agression pact in a fortnight i dare say that orochimaru have his hand in both village for what i don't know maybe he want a army to stop konoha from hunting him down or attack the village when the time is right"

Sarutobi thought about what the toad sage had said "well let's move on to the next thing i need you to do is bring tsunade back to the village soon as possible for the boy's shake we need to siphon the nine tails chakra before naruto deteriorate further into the foxs hands then you reseal the boy and hopefully all will be fine for a time aleast with the tailed beast, paper work will need to be signed for the boy to become the ward of the hyuga clan" he slip the paper cross the desk after taking it out of the drawer of the oak hokage desk.

Jiraiya pulled out the pen from his pocket where he keep his notebook and signed the paperwork "there now hiashi will be the new father figure for the uzumaki, this is the best thing for him not some old prev who is off in other lands every other week" the hokage nodded his head "yes hiashi likes the boy now better keep him away from old prevs like the two of us" the two men laughed.

Hyuga compound

Naruto tossed and turned in his sleep causing Hinata to wake up many times she placed his right hand into her's. Hinata whispered "I'm here again, I'll never leave your side, I promise you my hero" into his ear. She wrapped her right hand around his left and held it tight but not too tight as it might cause him disconfort

Naruto watched the nine tail rampage, the seal breaking on his mothers after his birth and the beast exscaping out into the world he'd seen this dream before hinata placed herself into his life. As the leaf shinobi looked to be in the darkest hour of the fight, the fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze. In Naruto's dream he was floating above the fox head. The fourth stood across a forest ontop of a huge toad with a pipe and a sword the size of the toad.

"BOY, EVER WONDERED WHO SEALED ME INSIDE YOU? OR WHO YOUR FATHER IS YOU STAIN OF SHIT IN MY LIFE?"

The uzumaki boy said nothing but thought to himself 'what does both of these things have to do with each other? I saw the end to this dream the fourth hokage seals you way aftered being mortally wounded by you'

Then the fox laughed as naruto watch the huge toad clash into the giant fox the amphinbian blade stopped by the left paw of the nine tail fox.

"CAUSE YOU FOOLISH BOY THE MAN WHO FUCKED YOUR MOTHER AND SUMMONED THAT TOAD ARE THE SAME MAN"

Naruto felt the waight of the world crush his shoulders like ants under a person's shoe.

"He…he is my father?" the uzumaki said aloud, making Hinata wonder what his dream was about. Did the fox torment know no bonds?

When the hokage leaped from the toad into the air weaving hand seals the moonlight shone on his yellow blond hair just the same as the hair that sits atop naruto's own head.

"My…my own dad put this burden on me, i feel so angry i could just lose control"

The fox felt like it grew ten sizes he felt the beast anger and hate flow into his mind

Naruto opened his eyes to find himself in the middle of a sewer with water pass his ankles

"YOU CAN BELIEVE ME SOME TRUTHS HURT WORSE THAN LIES SO LET ME OUT NARUTO… UNDO THE SEAL UNLEASH THE RAW POWER OF THE NINE TAIL FOX OUT ONTO THE WORLD FREE THE GIRL OF NEEDING TO PROTECT YOU FROM GREAT ODDS I'LL KILL HER PAINLESSLY CAUSE I LIKE HER TENACIOUS ADDTUE TOWARDS ME IS A LITTLE ADIRERABLE IT REMINDS ME OF AN OLD FRIEND A DEEPER FRIENDSHIP THAN YOU AND THE HYUGA HAVE I MEAN YEARS OF LIFE LONG LOVE A BOND YOU ONLY THINK YOU HAVE INSECT AND UNLESS THEY ARE MADE OF PURE CHAKRA THEY DIE AND LEAVE YOU ALONE IN THIS CREUL WORLD REMBER THAT CAUSE YOUR FATHER KNEW THAT LESSON IN THE END. " Naruto got up and smiled "thank you fur ball, i now know who my father and mother are, and i won't be unsealing you today or any other day for that matter, hinata is in my life why would i throw her away cause my father gave me a burden to bear?"

The red eyes in the black darkness climbed four stories, nine tails roared in rage tht echoed throughout the space they were in. "VILE HUMAN SCUM MARK MY WORDS NARUTO YOU WILL ACCESS MY POWER AND I WILL BREAK FREE AGAIN THEN I'LL KILL EVERY HYUGA EVERY SHINOBI AND EVERY VILLAGER IN THE LEAF EVERY HUMAN ON THE CONTINENT WILL BE CRUSHED BY MY FOOT I SWEAR!"

Naruto shot up like cold water was dumped on his face his left hand in hinata's plams

"H..how are you Naruto? Was it a bad dream?"

The uzumaki studied hinata looking for a signed that the fox hurt her while he was sleeping, no she was alright "yeah i guess, thank you you know for being here with me even though you can be harmed" the bluenette placed her top on hand on his cheek and sat up right next to him "it's a pleasure to sleep next to you naruto, i don't mean to pry but you said something about your father"

She saw the look of uncertainty in his blue eyes she asked who the fox said it was the blond looked her in her lavender eyes

"The fourth hokage, Minato Namikaze"

Her eyes wided like they soon explode out her skull she asked if he believed the fox

And as he said he didn't know the fox laughed "some truths hurt worse than a lie"

Hinata who didn't hear it from inside naruto wrapped her arms around for a hug and said "i guess there's a resemblance between you two if iruka sensei transfromation was as correct as he say it is, do you want to wait for my father to return or speak to him tommorow?" Naruto laid his head down and Hinata rested hers on his chest, her arms now around his arm and the two fell asleep.

Another week passed and the two kid returned to class much to the surpise of many naruto stopped seeking the attention of most classmates even sakura haruno a pink hair girl who was known to been liked by him through she didn't seem to notice too much from watching sasuke uchicha known as the best student of the class and the crush or just about every girl he meet. Naruto asked Hinata to keep his father a secret and she gave her word.

Sunagakure

The hidden sand village was the last great village to from and have a long bloodly history kazekage's being assassinated or dissapearing from the village the last of the kazekage clan stood four memeber Rasa the fourth kazekage his oldest tamari his sons konkuro and Gaara. The village loved Rasa and his two children and hatefully feared his youngest gaara for the demon Rasa sealed inside him shukaku the one tail dog of the desert. Rasa can remeber the days when his youngest was still like other children even though the child had been in the prison of shukaku since birth. Before he was five gaara was a boy who loved to play with his slibings and love his uncle who was tasked with raising the boy shikuku pluaged his dreams with nightmares but until the day gaara was counsidered a threat to the village safety and was set to be elimatied by his own uncle. Now gaara barely sleeps kills on a whim and is feared by even his own fleash and blood since that day four more attempts have been made each ending like the first.

Rasa often thought about new way's to kill the boy. Rasa once thought it had to be done by his own hands but could not find it inside him to take the life of his son. Gaara, like his father thought about when more assassins will come to kill him will they be leaf stone or sand ninja, the young boy also thought just as often about killing his father believe it a deadly game of cat and mouse. He remebered the last words of his once beloved uncle, the man who was the closest to his mother "the order came from the kazekage himself Gaara". Sometime shikuku will replay the memory of the night where his unlce was ordered to kill him for fun sometimes he'll just make gaara murder people for it.

The sun and her clear blue sky shined down onto the sandy streets of the village gaara was given plenty of room by the people, none dared say what was in their head around the boy who was always one or two steps from homocide. The red head knew they thought him a monster and if he wasn't around they openly ask why the kazekage doesn't kill the child and be done with it gaara also wondered this before but shikuku told him it was cause his father was weak and could not do it himself. It was most likey true gaara fought him before and was all but crushed by his father in fact gaara neck was wrapped by the gold grain Rasa used for combat if his father wanted to he could have killed him there. He didn't see the point in wondering why if his father wished to make that choice in this deadly game then gaara would not play the game and win. Gaara believed it would be fun to kill his father by his own hand or sand but by the time Gaara has built up enough straigth to fight and win his father either had him killed or has killed him himself so like his father three attempts before he'll get outside help to win the game.

Gaara looked around the street and saw the fear in a childs eyes, her brown pupils shaked in fear gaara could feel the one tail revel in it like a pig in shit. She backed behind her father fruit to hide form his blueish green eyes staring a hole of fear into her heart. Shikuku began to whisper into his head "bring me blood bring me blood" gaara walked through the market street of the village center merchants calling out their wares and people speaking loudly over each other where drowned outed by the one's tails homocidial rhetoric. The boy looked around for something to kill for the demon. None of the people were worthy of being killed by gaara none then suddenly gaara felt pain in his feet a stinging burn senseation caused by fire ants gaara sand crushed his attackers and he followed the ants back to their nest a small network of holes on the side of a bar in a alleyway "they may not be human but i'll be killing a whole lot" the one tail host put out his hand and the sand slowly began to turn like a wrollpull of sand as gaara cleatch his hand into a fist the turning sand began to harden ants fled out the tunnels in drove and in a second gaara crushed the conalie into a tight ball of sand the surviviors were then picked off by the sand one by one gaara revel in the pain as some fought back biting and stinging his feet before the sand crushed them an sicken laugh was heard from the ally. The laughing grew alouder and louder by the second til it began to slow down and draw to a final sigh. People returned to their beussinss when gaara emerge from the back alley as if nothing had happened. Soon the kazekage graud jumped into the street blocking gaaras way. The red head ordered them to move "Gaara sama your father has order us to bring you back to the estate he demands your attendance now "

The kazekage clan lived in the middle of the village in an old small castle made of mud bricks like much of the older village is made up of. The two graud brought gaara outside of the kazekage office a large room for people meeting with the kage to wait in local artist filled the room with statues of prior kazekage's or other ninja who earn great reconizion form the village like chiyo or her grandson sarsori or the red sand konkuro puppetter sensei. When gaara was young he dreamed of being one of these great sand shinobi or even the kazekage himself, now gaara only dreams of being rid of the man who wished him death.

Gaara found no one but his fathers right hand Baki, the commander of the sand shinobi under Rasa himself as he was a kage. Baki had his sand jonin vest and covered the top of his head and right side of his face with a white cloth. Gaara wondered what was underneath the wrapping burns or an injured eye Baki didn't say. Rather he found, gaara's question to be prying or tough for him to speak about it gaara could only guess. "Kazekage sama is in a meeting with a man name Gato i'm ordered to make you don't run off to i don't know kill some child who look you in the eyes." gaara looked as if baki was completely boring him to a point this was half true gaara was imagining the scare the older shinobi was hiding. After ten minute a short man in a black suit and dark shades fairly long gray hair and pencil muustache, following him of both side where two common street thugs armed with katanas and smuggness like they were on top the world gaara wanted to kill them and was about to before his father asked for him to enter the kazekage office.

Rasa wore an emotionless expression his figures interlocked and his elbows rested on his desk "where have you been this last month? I heard you weren't that the academy why"

Gaara copied his father face "the academy is boring they want us to stop before we cause real harm, it bores me to death so for my health i look for fights with street thugs like the two who where just in here only thing is most people now are to craven to die like a man"

Rasa expression change when he was blinking into one of both frustation and relief "well least you won't lie like your brother would just to see a civilan girl, from now you be trained by the same ninja who over views your slibings training and should i hear your skipping any plan training no matter how boring you'll face me for punishment understood?"

The tone in which the statement was said made with the undertone of a threat

"So you're ordering me yet i'm not a shinobi only your son" rasa tossed over a sand forehead protector over to his son. Gaara stared blankly that the sand syblom carved into the metal

"So if I'm now a weapon of the village will you stop trying to kill me? Father"

Rasa stared coldly that the jinchuki "you were always a weapon of the village the only reason my father was brought here was for you to do your job, should you prove a powerful asset to Suna i'll concider letting you live out your day's but the blood shed must stop or least slow down the people call for your head son one day they may not ask me any more."

Gaara left to his room a room farthest from his familys bedrooms. Inside was a bed with a red blanket and one pillow atop and a half empty closet filled with five black shirts. Gaara took off the white slash he laid down on the bed and stared into the ceiling above.

'They may not have a choice in how i die but i think they should respect that i have a choice in their deaths' the homocidal genin thought to himself.
