CHAPTER 3

OOC-Hey everyone, I know I know, Naruto shouldn't have used the word "Love" so hastily, I got ya lol. I may tie in the Sand Siblings
"I Hate You"…it beaded around in Naruto's head like a drum, on a constant rhythm; he just laid there in bead staring up at his ceiling. She was angry she couldn't of meant those words…

"Yes She Could" Kyubbi's voice echoed through out Naruto's head.

"Shut Up Bastard Fox" Naruto said coldly.

Slowly Naruto slipped out of consciousness and he found himself in a long dark corridor, an annoying tap….tap…tap kept up at his hearing. Naruto opened his eyes to stare at the dark ceiling, pulling himself out of the water soaked floor he stood up the water coming up to his ankles. He knew immediately where he was, so he began to walk, he walked until his legs were soar and he then turned left into a large room with an enormous cage. A single scroll slapped on the middle of the gate binding it together. Two large red eyes stared out from inside the cage as Naruto came into the middle of the room. Kyuubi stared at him with his fierce eyes as he then spoke.

"Think about it Naruto, she has always ignored you, and has always tried to 'befriend' Sasuke." Naruto flinched at the mention of Sasuke's name.

"I know that, but she isn't that type of person she knows I tried my best." Naruto said coldly to the fox demon.

"You are so naïve. You actually think that she still thinks you're her friend. HAHAhaha! Your nothing but a hideous…demon to her" Kyuubi said coldly a feral grin appearing on his shadowy face.

Naruto sunk at Kyuubi's words. He slowly thought back to all the times he had been shot down my Sakura just for her to go and ask Sasuke out.

"She is just like the rest of the village, they all hate you. They despise you, they loath your existence." Kyuubi said grinning evilly.

"SHUT UP BASTAD FOX!" Naruto screamed

"Brat, I'm wondering if your old enough yet?" Kyuubi said to himself in thought.

"What are you talking about bastard fox" Naruto said scowling at the fox demon. Kyuubi then looked back and smirked,

"Fine, its time to go into a little vision quest, I'm going to show you everything that this village has done to you and then you shall decide what happens from there." Kyuubi said coldly.

Naruto had to blink hard a couple of times to realize what the fox had said.

"What did you say?" Naruto said coldly

" Im going to help you, but at the same time I'm going to make you gain some common sense so you will stop acting so childish. Now we shall begin our…teachings." Kyuubi's voice echoed throughout his skull as suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his temples, slowly a large white light overcame his senses and he was now in a pitch black room with a figure about the same size as him with mid back length red hair. His eyes glowed with a crimson tinge, he wore black pants with a blood red fox head on the right leg along with a black shirt with likewise a blood red fox head on the chest of his shirt.

"So what do you want to show me?" Naruto asked hesitantly.

"Because I want you to butch up, we shall start with the bad things" Kyuubi said with a harsh tone.

Slowly the black then blew away with a gust of wind into the mission assignment room in Konoha. Naruto remembered this immediately, he slowly watched himself with Kakashi, asking him to train him but Kakashi threw him away to Ebishi like trash. Naruto gritted his teeth ferociously as the seen slowly blew away to the training grounds after a team training when he asked Sakura out. She rejected him and then turned to ask Sakura, Naruto clenched his fist as Kyuubi quickly flicked through all the bad times in Naruto's life caused by the Villagers. After a little while the room then went black again as Kyuubi and Naruto stood their.

"You know your right, I don't know why I protec…." Naruto started but was soon cut off.

"Im not done yet kit, now to go through the good times" Kyuubi stated

Naruto was about to speak when a gust of wind again blew the shadows away to reveal the night he protected Iruka and Iruka gave him his Headband. The scene then slowly changed to where Jiraiya and him were sharing a Popsicle together out in the sun. The scene switched again to a memory Naruto was unfamiliar with. Naruto lay on the ground with Tsunade over him as Orochimaru with a sword sticking out of his mouth lunged at him, Tsunade quickly getting in the way. Naruto slowly watched all his good memories trickling by, those of Haku while he was still alive, he then noticed a lot of them had Hinata in them, her hiding or blushing playing with her fingers. She really did love him; sensing his emotions Kyuubi turned to Naruto and laughed a little.

"Finally notice kit?" Kyuubi said with a little laugh.

Naruto began to continually go through his good memories as suddenly Kyuubi sensed something; he quickly took control of Naruto's consciousness quickly.

During Naruto's Quest

"Naruto Is Late Again, stupid bastard, why does that prick have to be on our team?" Sakura said harshly as she annoyingly tapped her foot on the wooden plank.

"He's later then I am" Kakashi said surprising Sakura as he appeared on the top wooden post, sitting there reading his book. He closed it and look down to Sakura; he gave her a slight smile.

"We shall talk after training ok?" Kakashi said gently, suddenly two Anbu members poofed out of thing air(literally), then crouched down but then stood looking up at Kakashi.

"Hatake, Kakashi? Leader of genin team 7 correct?" One of the Anbu members asked.

"Hai" Kakashi said questionably.

"One of your Team members, Uzuimaki Naruto. He has fell into a coma, currently he is in the hospital, Hokage-sama doesn't know how long he could be there." The Anbu member spoke with some sadness in his voice. Sakura twitched at the sense.

"Good Riddens" she said hostilly.

If Sakura and Kakashi could have seen the Anbu members faces, they would have back up, because the expression hidden behind those wooden masks were of anger.

"How Dare You, He and his team risked his life to go after a traitor of Konoha, and he brought him back. He completed his mission along with bringing his team back alive, one person's life is nothing compared to five. Kakashi looked at the Anbu members a bit taken aback but quickly regained his senses.

"arigoto, for the information" Kakashi said, the Anbu members turned to look back at him then disappeared in a puff of smoke again. Sakura felt a little bad, she now just realized Sasuke had tried to kill all of them, and 1 life is better than five, no. She didn't care she hated Naruto.

At The Hospital

"Jiraiya what do you think is happening?" Tsunade asked.

"I'm not sure, but hell be fine, he always is" Jiraiya said. He rested his hand on Tsunade's shoulder as he looked at Naruto, all the monitors beeping. Suddenly the heart rate flickered and Naruto leaned forward sitting up, he turned his head facing at the two beside him as his eye lids raised his red eyes stared hostilely at the two Sannins.

"Why is it not the one who can cure everything, and the one who trained my captor. Interesting how that works isn't it, now we all sit in a room speaking to each other." Kyuubi's voice sent a shiver down both their spines.

"KYUUBI?" both of the Sannin's gasped. Tsunade was the first to speak after a moment or two of waiting.

"What do you want, what have you done with.." She was quickly cut off with Kyuubi's voice.

"Silence. I came here to tell you two one thing." Kyuubi hissed.

"And that is?" Jiraiya asked

"That I am showing Naruto the real Konoha, those of his friends and those who aren't, I am teaching him to learn. I am opening his eyes to Konoha, and when we are done he will be different on what he wants to be. So after he is done, he will be stronger, quicker, and smarter. I am showing him his memories in this phase, so for now I bid you adue" Kyuubi said quickly as suddenly Naruto's body fell back onto the pillow and the heart rate went back to a coma induced one.

"Jiraiya, what if he tries to manipulate Naruto to his own means" Tsunade asked quickly turning to Jiraiya with tears forming in her eyes.

"We will have to stand by him" Jiraiya said sternly, Tsunade slowly turned to Naruto's limp body, she leaned down kissing him on the forehead, and slowly the turned and left the room.

Back In Naruto's Mind

"No Kit, NO, NO, NO, NO… You have to be quicker, you cant give yourself away, you have to execute so you can escape before the target hits the ground. Before you leave here you will be perfect. Or you will not leave." Kyuubi said as he stood before Naruto who now lay on the ground bleeding and breathing heavily.

"Bastard Fox" Naruto said harshly. Naruto wanted to do this, he needed to do this.

A Week Later

"HOKAGE-SAMA!" A Jounin roared bursting in through her office doors. Two visitors stared at him surprised as they stared at him.

"You better have a good reason for coming in here and disturbing my guests Gokai" Tsunade said blatantly annoyed.

"Its Naruto, he's gone, he's not in the hospital Tsunade-Sama" the Jounin said quickly.

"Dispatch the Anbu's, I want him found NOW!" Tsunade bellowed, The Jounin bowed and then disappeared in a puff of smoke. The Anbu's quickly dispersed about the city in search for Naruto.

Across Town

"Ahh, Good Sakura, your getting better" Kakashi said with a slight smile,

"sensei? Should I hate Naruto?" Sakura asked. Kakashi was taking aback by the question, he wasn't sure what he could answer.

"He did his job Sakura, he brought back his entire team, for that we can be grateful." Kakashi said, Sakura started but suddenly the both sensed something. Kakashi quickly moved in front of Sakura drawing a Kunai and blocking two of them that had been sent flying towards them. Suddenly Kakashi felt someone behind him and a foot connected with the side of his skull.

"Always too slow Kakashi" Naruto said. His clothing had changed dramatically; he now wore black pants and shirt with a red fox head on them. His eyes now a pale blue, he stared down at Kakashi who quickly recovered landing in a crouched position.

"Naruto?" Kakashi said, he quickly ignored what he was about to say when Naruto rushed him, Kakashi pulled out a Shuriken and quickly hurled it but Naruto spun around the Shuriken and attacked Kakashi with his Kunai. Kakashi blocked it with his Kunai but then he ducked down and as he went to swing his leg, Naruto leaped up.

"Stupid" Kakashi said as he then drove his leg straight up his foot connecting with Naruto's jaw. Suddenly Naruto disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Nani" Kakashi said but then realized what the clone had done, he suddenly heard the snapping of rope as then a dozen kunai's quickly flew towards him, with rapid speed he ducked under one and blocked four others but he couldn't dodge the last seven all hit within non vital areas but still hit. Naruto slowly walked out from behind one of the tree's. He walked up slowly watching Kakashi, and then he broke out into a run and quickly leaped up spinning around and connecting the back of his heel with Kakashi's jaw. Kakashi flew to the side landing head first into the trunk of a tree. Naruto then saw the block's of wood hitting the tree trunks, he slowly looked around looking for Kakashi.

"You always thought I had less talent than that Uuchia moron"
