I don't own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto does. Joshua is my character. My story will mostly be about Joshua at first, but we will work our way into the first season of Naruto; however I'm changing things with the second season. The only thing I will be picking up in the second season is there are nine tail demons and the Akatsuki will be coming after the tail demons.

Demons' pact

I had always been in his shadow ever since he found me near death and brought me back into the world of the living. He told me it was my will to live that made it possible. It took me a couple of months recover from my injuries. Some of the people my master lives with didn't like the idea of a little kid hanging around him. I would frown and glare at them, but my master would just smirk. He didn't laugh or smile much at first. What these people didn't know was my master would smile in my presence. He made sure I understood the bases of justu. Then my training became hard and fast. One of the lessons I learn was how to fight against his Sharingan. It was hard at first. His eyes could see about every move I would do. I realized I had my own blood limit and it helped. I knew about my blood limit from my father. It was my mother's blood limit that caught both of us off guard. I was about to shout some thing out and well I blasted a rock to dust. My master chuckled and patted my head. I just put my hands over my mouth and blushed.

As time went by, I was being trained for something, but I didn't know what. I did the lessons my master gave me, and then there were things I would do on my own. Seals, curses and summons. It took a lot of time, but when I finally summoned something, it happened to be a snake of all the creatures out there. I frowned; however, I realized it had to do with my mother's side. I hated the Hidden Village of the Sound. They had taken the last of my identity, but now it wasn't the time to be choosey.

The snake looked up at me and frowned. Strange that a child can call me. It hissed at me.

I felt like turning up my nose at that comment. "Well, I'm not all that normal." I then brought out a live mouse.

The golden eyes of the snake eyed the mouse. I see you know at least to be generous. You know in time I may ask for something much larger. I held the mouse in front of the snake's mouth.

"I know that. Nevertheless, there will be a time when you will be only eating my enemies."

The snake snatched up the mouse. In a few moments, it had eaten the mouse whole. So you say. Its tongue darted out. Do you have a name? A village you need to protect?

I looked at the snake for a moment. "Joshua is the only name I have at this time. As for a village, I haven't found one I want to protect. All I have is what you see at this time, but I am not weak and I will find my place in this world. After all, I learned how to summon you on my own." I crossed my arms and looked into those golden eyes.

The fork tongue darted out again. A low chuckled filled the air. I watched the red and black snake come closer to me. It started to climb up my leg. I took a deep breath as the snake climb up my body. I felt the fork tongue in my ear and the snake's grip tightening. I tried not to shiver, but it was hard not too.

I can feel your chakra. It's very strong. Naga is my name. That was all I received as warning as the snake nipped me in the neck. At first I thought Naga was going to poison me but then a fuzzy feeling came though my thoughts. Now Joshua you can summon me when you want. For now I must go. A puff of smoke was all was left of Naga's presence. I didn't know if I should tell my master what he just managed to pull off. My neck was on fire before my arm felt the same way.

I gasped as I looked down at my arm. There was an image of a snake wrapped around his wrist. -Gods, how am I going to hide that from my master?- I pulled my sleeve down to hide the mark on his wrist. After taking a breath, I headed back to where I was staying with my master. I pulled the hood over my head and walked into the cave. Keeping my head down low, I made my way down the man made tunnel.

Kisame, Deidara and Sasori were talking about a mission. "Looked who finally showed up." Kisame looked at down at me with a glare.

"And your problem is?" I glared up at the ex-mist ninja.

He growled in return. "Itachi has been looking for you for an hour."

Not good. "I was training outside and didn't want to cause any damage."

Deidara frowned at this. "Itachi doesn't like it when you go out on your own. I don't know why he took a kid in like you, but that is none of my business. You had better get to your room and talk to him before he does something that we all will regret later."

I hurried past the group as I didn't want to hear anything from Sasori. Out of the three, he creep me out the most. Soon I came to the room I shared with my master. The door opened before I could even touch it.

"What have I told you about going out without telling me?" I was looking up at my master. He was an ex-leaf ninja. From what I learn about him, he was one of the strongest yet unstable ninja around. The one thing that didn't make sense to me was what everyone said he did. He almost wiped out his entire clan out except for one person. That was what everyone was lead to believe. I held that thought though when my master hit my head with his finger.

"You have to remain hidden. No one can find out that you exist."

I remained still as I listened to my master. As much as I wanted to do something, I didn't know if I would be strong enough yet. Naga believed I was strong. He wouldn't have bitten me if I was weak. I was pulled into the room and tossed on the bed. Then I looked up at my master. His eyes had turned red, signaling the activation of the Sharigan. "Master Itachi." My voice was calm yet had no strength to it.

I felt his hand on my cheek. He pulled me close. "You are about the only thing I have cared for in years. Don't make me kill you for a mistake that can be avoided." His eyes turn black once again. "Do I make myself clear?" I lay down on the bed and nodded my head. "Good. I have to go but I'll be back in a couple of weeks. You may train but only at night."

With that my master, then left the room, and I was alone. I closed my eyes and wondered why my master wanted to keep me in the shadows. I knew in time I might have to run for my life but this wasn't the time yet to do so. I had still to learn some seals and how to break curses. One that I knew was the strongest. One that had destroyed my mother in the end. I had to learn how to free people from it before I left this place of shadows. Would time be on my side or would it kill me in the end?

I did train at night. Later on, I summoned Naga to feed him a mouse. We learned how to move together and feel each other's charka. I almost fell asleep outside once, but Naga woke me up in time. I had gotten my own food and water as I didn't want any help from the others. My master would think I was weak if I asked for anyone's help. It was just I didn't like being alone. Maybe that was why I try summoning. Naga was a snake, but he became a good friend. He was impress with my skills with seals. He told me not many people had my skills at my age. I told him why I was training so hard and why I had learned to summon. He didn't take at well at first.

You know who you are talking about. He hissed at me.

I nodded my head. "I know the man is dangerous. I was four when he took my mother's body as his own."

Naga wrapped round my leg and slid up into my lap. I chose you for you inner strenght. As for going after that man...

I rubbed his nose. "I won't go after him until I have the power or a means to dispose of him. I know he changes bodies. It's one of his forbidden seals. It's just hard to wait, but I must for now."

Naga tickled my finger with his forked tongue. For someone so young to be so wise. It's rare. Most run head long to their deaths...

-Or tricked into their deaths too.- I sighed and said my goodbyes to Naga before heaving back to the cave. The sun was coming up behind me. I looked at the shadow that was growing under me. -One day this shadow will behind me and the monsters will be all dead.- The darkness of the cave wrapped around the me as I entered it.

Ah I promise to get to our main characters by chapter three Joshua's history is at lease one more chapter long.
