Max stared at the screen of his PC and smiled to himself. Despite the constant bickering of Kyubi demanding him to show out more of the Naruto series, Max continued to gather his info on the Internet.
" Quiet you big furry fur ball. I'm trying to figure out a way to make this Naruto NOT like the one in the series. I also found out something really really weird after talking with my friends last night. " said Max then he took a bite from his Burger.
Kyubi growled again but this time kept his temper in check and asked " Then how am I going to help you if I don't watch what happens? " nope, getting on the human's bad side is a definite no no...especially after witnessing that dreadful purple dinosaur...God that was worse than the last one. At least those things don't sing crappy songs...
Flash back
" I demand to watch the series. " said the Kyubi and bared his sharp teeth.
" Nope, not after I did my research."
" Series THEN research."
" Research first or else."
" Or else what ? "
Max popped open his VCD and played Barney...
" I LOVE YOU, YOU LOVE ME, WE'RE A HAPPY FAMILY..."
" NOOOOO STOOPPP ! I MEAN, RESEARCH FIRST ! JUST STOP IT WITH THE INFERNAL NOISE! AAHHHH "
" Good, now who's a good foxy..."
End of Flash Back.

Max Knight and his Knights of the Square Table presents...A Naruto Self Insert Fic.
Unexpected Events
Chapter 3 : The Winds of Change
-
Some hours after that, Max relaxed on his bean bag chair and drank his soda while going through his printed notes while he lets Kyubi watches the episode where Naruto asked the Kyubi for some chakra to summon Gamabunta.
" Hmm...so if I can help make Naruto graduate in his first try, therefore not wasting his time in the academy and meet up with that pink haired Sakura, and that prat Sasuke. Okay, Primary Objective set, make Naruto aware about Kyubi and me then make him graduate. Secondary objective, make him a great fighter without anyone's notice. Third, avoid the villagers that hate him. Boy that's a hard one but with One and Two completed, Third might not be a problem. " mused Max, he turned towards Kyubi and noticed that he wasn't angry at all at the way Naruto reacted to himself.
" Oy Kyubi, shouldn't you be like angry right now ? " asked Max.
" Hmm...after what you told me and what I gathered about this Naruto kid, I'm actually tempted to make him spread terror upon those damn villagers of this stupid village. However, my powers are limited here with the seal placed on the cage and I'm feeling my chakra being sucked to merge with his own. As times go by he will have that amount of chakra he had in the series enough to pull a Kaga Bunshin. " said Kyubi.
" Wow, that's the most I heard you say besides bitching at me. So what you propose? " asked Max.
Kyubi glared at Max but continued talking knowing that Max will not be afraid " Well, you could like in your plan to train the boy to expend his chakra reserve to better suit my chakra and his. It will make him more easier to do jutsus, plus he will be more in control with my chakra in him."
" Okay, so we wait ? "
" We wait..."
" Fine, you did your part. Now let's continue this...here's episode 42..."

One month later...
In Gaara's mind...
All was quiet except for Shukaku's breathing and Peter's typing on his PC. It showed a design of a very familiar female figure with burning red hair tied to a pigtail and wearing a tank top with Japanese High School Gym shorts. Beside him was a bunch of papers of sketches on the figure doing many different stances of martial arts and poses of her in many outfits range from wearing Kung Fu Black slacks to a cute Chinese waitress. Then along the side was a Frankenstein like table with many electric cables tied to it. There was a white sheet of clothing over the figure and every few seconds, lightning could be seen surging through the cylinder tubes around the place.
" Almost done my dear...and I shall be the only one in the world to ever be with you..." said Peter in a sinister way while rubbing his hands together.
" What are you doing human ? Why do I feel my powers being drained...what are you doing ? " asked Shukaku with four major cables hooked on his cage.
" Ah...Shukaku my pet..."
" I'm not your PET HUMAN ! Now release me ! "
" Remember my yellow friend in the shorts ? "
" ..."
" Fine, I'm borrowing your powers to create a new life form."
" WHAT ? AS IF ONE HUMAN IS NOT ENOUGH ? I HAVE TO SETTLE FOR TWO ? "
" Hey, I hate being here all alone except for your sorry ass okay ? " said Peter, he was taking some powers from Shukaku for a reason. Firstly, to create his new life form. Secondly, while doing this he prevented Shukaku from invading Gaara's young mind from ever giving him nightmares. "It's all for a good cause. " said Peter to himself and continued to type on his keyboard.
" Just a few more to go on her personality and then a power surge should wake her up...any moment now..."
" This...is going to hurt..." said Shukaku as he started to feel the build up power from the cable slowing taking away his powers. Not that he was afraid of losing them, he could regain the powers after sometime but the cables would take away any gathered energy from him to fill that thing on the table...whatever it is, it's going to be as powerful as a half demon.
" Done, now all I have to do is connect them up and boom, instant Nyanichuan Girl in my arms. " said Peter as he waltz around the cables to the table singing a happy tune.
" The red wire goes into the red thing, the white wire goes into the white thing, the yellow wire connects into the yellow socket...and they all connected to Shukaku...yehaaa sing it with me man. "
" Whatever human..." growled the large sand demon.
" Yeahoo, this is gonna be better than Christmas...hell it's better than all my Christmas presents combine! " yelled Peter as he pushed the last button and slammed the switch on. Then he put on his goggles and stared in amazement as lightning and electricity made way into the clothed figure strapped down on the table.
" The ancient masters promised impossibilities and performed nothing. We shall penetrate into the recesses of nature. We shall ascend into the Heavens. We shall command the thunders of Heaven,mimic the earthquake and even mock the invisible world with its own shadows. " Peter started to say words out of a movie that was printed in his mind as he started the process of bring life to the figure.
( A/N : Guess the movie guys. )
" What the hell are you saying? " yelled Shukaku.
" It makes me more dramatic no ? "
" Just what is that thing made of anyway ? "
" Sand...minerals and other things...like sugar, spice and everything nice in MY book. " snickered Peter to his own joke.
" Why I ever bothered to ask ? " said Shukaku to himself while Peter ignored him.
" Yes...yes...Contact power up is in 59...65...and going up...78...89..98..99..100 ! " yelled Peter as he pulled another lever to release two surge of raw energy to the figure.
" RAISSEE... RAAAIIISSSEEE ! "
Sparks and energy gave way through the whole hall way and Shukaku had to cover his own eyes as the final switch was pulled. Finally a large explosion made its entrance and all was quiet except the beeping on Peter's computer.
" Well ? " asked Shukaku clearly impatient of the tension or the room.
" Hush, I myself am not sure if this could work." said Peter.
" YOU MEAN YOU WASTED ALL THAT ENERGY AND SAID IT WAS A FLUKE ? YOU KNOW WHAT THAT AMOUNT OF ENERGY COULD DO TO A NORMAL HUMAN ? ONE COULD BE A B-CLASS DEMON WITH THAT KIND OF POWER ! " yelled Shukaku.
" Heh, well if it failed, it means you're weak." said Peter as he neared the clothed and now smoking figure. He unveiled the cloth and stared at the red headed beauty strapped onto the table.
Her eyes shut and facial expressions null of any kind of feelings. Her skin was cold and her lips a pouting pink. Her eyelashes were purple and her breasts almost too big for her age. She looks about the age of 16-17 and her waist, a very slim 22 with her arms and lithe fingers by her side. Her slender pale legs went miles away on her bare foot and Peter was soon reaching out for her chest.
She wasn't breathing.
" NOOO ! THIS CANNOT BE ! " Peter screamed even louder than Shukaku in the Sponge bob incident.
" LIVE ! LIVE ! I COMMAND YOU ! BREATHE ! " he yelled above his lungs.
Shukaku laughed out loudly but a metallic chair thrown at him paused him for a while.
" But...but I did it accordingly to the book..." said Peter as her traced his palm upon the cold face of his creation.
" What book, you have books on how to create living objects in your world ? " asked Shukaku.
" Well...sort of...you see there's this cartoon series see...this guy created three girls using Sugar, spice and everything nice...then there's another one using a Barbie doll and electricity and some diagrams...then there's one where a guy creates something with a corpse..." then he sighed. " Maybe man is not meant to play God...I'm, tired I need some sleep. "
Peter went to sleep with a sad heart.
Next day he was woken due to a soft erotic moan.
" Damn it Shukaku, that's sick. " said Peter as he turned his blanket over himself.
" What ? I didn't make that sound. However we have company..." said Shukaku.
" Huh ? " then Peter turned around and stared wide eyed and slack jawed at the sight in front of him.
" Um...can you please get these off me ? " said a feminine voice. It belonged to the figure on the table. She was staring back at him with large watery confused eyes. They were blue in color and she was talking to him.
Peter pinched himself and was happy at the pain he received. He ran towards the girl and stared at her with a silly grin while saying " Alive...it's alive...IT'S AALLLLLLLIIIVVVVEEEEE ! " thunder cracked all around the background as a Transylvanian organ made a very creepy yet familiar music. You know, the one where Frankenstein created the Monster ?
" Hey, cut it out and let me off this thing, it's kinda...tight." said the girl as she blushed when her breasts was rubbing the leather straps. It wasn't THAT big but considering her small frame, her breasts were rather big. Oh well, she's a healthy girl.
" Um...sure, hold still." said Peter as he un-strapped the girl from the table and helped her on her feet.
" So...where are we and who are you ? " asked the girl.
" Oh, I'm Peter but my friends call me Wolfen Man Unleashed or Sir Randomark to my fellow Knights." said Peter with a bit of pride.
" Um...what should I call you then ? "
For starters you could call me Master... thought Peter but settled for the title of Peter.
" So Peter, where are we and...who am I ? " asked the girl suddenly feeling somewhat self conscious of herself.
" You're in the mind of a poor little boy named Gaara, and this..." gestured to Shukaku " Is Shukaku the Sand Demon...who was sealed in the boy forcibly by his Father."
" What ? How ? Why ? When ? " asked the girl " And why can't I remember anything from my past ? " She started to feel weak and almost fell down if not for Peter to catch her.
She stared back at him with teary eyes " I can't remember who I am and my name...I don't know what am I..."
Peter was dumb struck at that. He started to feel guilt and shame for his selfishness in creating a being just for his own needs ( I'm not telling what needs ) and letting her being self loathing.
" Well...there's something I need to tell you..."
A few hours later...
" WHAT ! You frigging created me with SAND ? And expect me to belief this crap? Oops...sorry I don't know what came to me..." she blushed at the language and sat down and took a large gulp of tea.
" Well...that's basically it. So...wanna see some anime ? "
" Sure...nothing else better to do here..." then she sent and icy glare to Peter who tensed up.
" What I do ? "
" WHAT YOU DID ? You created me out of your selfish and sick needs for God knows what and now you ask me WHAT YOU DO ? "
Peter did the only thing he could think of and went into a stance. His knees sliding down to the floor as his sucked in a large amount of air into his abdomen, he inhaled and let both arms by his side with battle aura flaring around him. ( Peter : When did I have my own battle aura ? )
At this Ranko went into her own stance by automatic reflex. She was puzzled by her strange act but prepared for anything Peter could throw at her.
" FINAL SAOTOME TECHNIQUE : CROUCH OF THE MIGHTY WHITE TIGER ! " Peter yelled then started to bow his head down to a 90 degrees angle and started mumbling " Sorry sorry sorry...Please forgive me."
Ranko sweat dropped for the first time in her life and burst out laughing.
Well, it's a start... thought Peter.

Neji's mind...
Glen was snickering at the computer screen. He was getting high marks on Alien VS Predator 2 Online and was enjoying himself for all he cares.
" Booyah ! No homework, no teachers, no bullies, no parents nagging to clean up my room, no worries...and most of all...UNLIMITED SUPPLY OF CHEEESSEEE ! "
Then suddenly his screen showed that an Alien Drone killed him.
" Damn you, I'll get you for this. " shouted the young teen and started blasting his way over the Multiplayer game.
Neji was still sleeping as his mother sang a lullaby.

In Haku's mind...
Daniel was playing his unfinished game of Mortal Kombat and smiled as he unlocked his final character of Deception.
" Finally, the last costume of Sub Zero...now all I have to do is design this outfit to suit my host. Wonder how my friends are going to do to their hosts...Hmm...maybe I'll make him do Ice Blasts...yeah I know, Ice blades and Ice Clones too.."
Four Months Later...
As Daniel mused on his ideas, Haku's parents watched on as their child said his first word..." Lin Kuei."
Daniel smiled as he heard this " It's time...let the show begin."
-
Two years later...
The four individuals were living different lives as they grew older.
Naruto was given cold shoulders and glares at everything he did. The only ones that noticed this were Max and Kyubi who was gnashing his fangs to sink them in the guardian's neck. Max just waited for the right time as he clenched his fists. He needed to wait until Naruto was ready to accept the truth even though he was tempted to comfort Naruto on those cold nights were the poor little boy cried himself to sleep. The villagers acted as though he was trash and picked on him wherever he went. No one played with him and the caretaker came only once a week to clean up the small apartment. Even then she just left two-dozen packs of ramen and left it there for Naruto to cook it himself.
" That's the most sickest thing I've ever seen. How can one survive with just Ramen ? " yelled Max. He almost felt sorry eating his bowls of cereal.
Kyubi glared at the leaving caretaker and paced along the iron bars of the sealed cage " Just give me ten seconds...no five seconds is all I need to rip that bitch's heart out ! " growled the Demon Lord.
" Don't worry Kyubi, when the time comes...we'll show then what our boy can do." said Max.
" I hope you're right human." said the demon fox and went to a corner to rest. Since the start of the first year, Kyubi and Max started to open up to each other and knew each other's methods on dealing with opponents.
Max stared at the scene as Naruto waited for the water to boil, and watch on as Naruto accidentally burned himself from the droplets of the hot water. He winced as the boy cried out and the whole thing fell on his feet and knees as his grip weakened.
" And here I thought Harry Potter was worse..." sighed Max and watched on as the wounds started to heal by themselves albeit slowly with Kyubi's Chakra. The cage was slowly absorbing Kyubi's chakra as days passed to keep the poor boy alive from his harsh treatment from every villagers.

In Gaara's head...
Peter was staring at the scene in front of him as Gaara played with the sands Shukaku possessed. He could create shapes and different things with it. The couple, Peter and Ranko promised to help raise Gaara to a better child, different from the canon. Ranko was heart broken when she saw the Gaara in the anime and wanted to change this Gaara before he turns out to be like the one in the Canon series.
" Peter, we should make our appearance before that thing happens. " said the young red head as she pouted.
" Hmm...yeah but now is not the time...he needs to understand his position before we can bring it down to him." said Peter. Eh, must be those motherly instincts showing themselves...hmm...wonder if I could take her mind out of that... thought Peter as an idea popped into his mind.
" Say Ranko...let me show you some 'Other' hidden files..." said Peter.
" Um...okay..." replied Ranko and followed her creator to the desktop Mac.
Few hours later...
" Ranko...I didn't expect you to be so...um...controlling." said Peter resting his head on a pillow. He was with Ranko under some sheets on a bed he created. Both were breathing quite hardly and their clothes were sprawled everywhere.
" Um...well...I didn't know I had it in me." replied the young girl and blushed again as the memory of the previous hours still hang in her head.
" So...wanna do it again ? " asked Peter.
" Yeah, this time you be on top. " then she blushed again.
" I think I created a monster." sighed Peter as they went on making passionate love to each other.
Shukaku was banging his head against the bars of the sealed cage that Peter conjured and also another wall so that Peter would not look at the demon. Hey why would you let anyone see you while doing the deed ?
" What a waste of my chakra..." grumbled the sand demon as he heard Ranko gave another shout of pleasure as pure ecstasy ripped through her body from across the room. He started slamming his head on the ground again as he chanted his mantra " WHAT A WASTE! "
That day Gaara had his first nose bleed.
-
In the Hidden Village of the Snow... ( A/N : I guess that's where Haku was born. )
Haku's parents were having fun playing with their small bundle of joy and watched him play with his toys. Even though they were puzzled about the words young Haku said two years ago they didn't think much of it. They still love their son very much.
" Haku dear, it's time of bed. Come on I'll tell you a bed time story." said his Mother.
" Yes mommy ! " said young Haku and they went back to the bed room where Haku slept.
" What story so you wish to listen to this time sweetie? " asked his caring mother.
" Um...I wanna hear the story of the Ninjas." said Haku happily.
His mother's features tensed as the word 'Ninja' came out of her son's little mouth.
" Haku-chan...where did you hear about Ninjas ? "
" Um...I get dreams about a guy doing cool things with water and he kept saying that he's a Ninja of the Lin Kuei clan. So..um...what about them ? Daddy said you could tell me about them." said Haku in his cute voice blinking at his mother.
Yukina stared at her son as she heard this " Haku-chan, promise me you won't tell anyone about this okay ? This will be our little secret together."
Haku gave a nod.
" Alright...I'm not sure if you're old enough for this but since you are the last heir of your Great Grandfather...I must tell you this." said Yukina.
" Tell me what ? "
" Your Great Grandfather was a very powerful Ninja and fought bravely in the Great War, after he died everyone feared our clan since we had a very rare Bloodline Limit. Now I will not tell you more about this but you will have to discover it yourself. The thing is, not all Ninjas are good as your Great Grandfather. There are many bad ones out there that kill for a living. Well, Ninjas are assassins basically but these Rouge Ninjas steal and rob villagers of their possessions and kill just for fun." she paused and looked at her son, he was angry as he heard this " Haku, promise me that you will not kill for fun."
Haku nodded his head and said " Of course mom, I won't, I will protect you from harm."
Yukina was proud at her sons reply, he was unlike any other three year old, he was more knowledgeable and could absorb things like a sponge. His words rang true and honestly that she felt safe for him " That's good Haku-chan, however, if the time comes, kill. If not run, run like the devil is behind you and never look back." said Yukina in a very serious voice.
Haku shuddered but nodded weakly.
" Now, sleep and rest my dear Haku...tomorrow will be a big day." she kissed him on the cheek and sang a lullaby.
After that, Yukina left Haku's room and went to the living room where her husband Yamamoto was sitting there sipping some tea.
" Honey, did you know about Haku's knowledge of Ninjas ? " asked Yukina.
Her husband nodded " I do not know how he knew about the Warriors of the night but we must leave this place immediately if the others are to know about his ...growing Bloodline limit. I would be forced to kill both of you since I'm the son of our village elder." Yukina frowned but Yamamoto hugged her " But...I will commit Seppuku after that, I will join you...and little Haku."
Yukina hugged him back and sighed. Her husband was a very traditional man. He would take honor to the next level even to fulfill even the slightest of tasks given to him by his father or his honor. She wouldn't be surprise if he would kill her and her son right here right now if his father ordered.
Yamamoto saw the sad look on his wife's face and kissed her on the cheek " Don't worry Yukina-chan...I'll talk to my father and request to go to the Village of the Mist. I'll say that it's for the good of Haku's schoolings and a more suitable environment."
Haku's mother showed a brief moment of happiness in her eyes and hugged him back " But...what if your father disagrees? What will you do then? "
Yamamoto clenched his teeth as her words hit a sensitive spot in his heart. He was brought up to be a man of honor, his father trained him to be the next Elder of the village and it was his duty to take up the responsibility to uphold the law and forbid personal feelings with certain affairs. He sighed and answered " I am not sure Yukina-chan...pray that it will not happen then."
Yukina knew that it was the best answer from her husband and they went back to their own room.

In the Hyuuga Branch house...
Neji woke up from a dream about giant aliens and huge human like monsters turning invisible with some device on its arm.
" Weird...yawn I guess it can't be helped I must be ready for daddy's training tomorrow." and went back to sleep.
Next day...
" Neji, you are now a member of the Hyuuga Branch family. In order to protect your counter part, your cousin Hinata. You must be trained to be her bodyguard and get her out of harms way. You will be trained to be the best, however you will get your seal like every other Branch house members, you know the meaning of this ? " asked Neji's father Hyuuga Hizashi.
" Yes father...I understand I will do my best to fulfill my duty. I will began my training and receive the Jyuuken Taijutsu today for I am Hyuuga Neji, a member of the Hyuuga Branch house." Neji recited the oath and bowed to his father, he was excited to learn the family fighting style and show off to his cousin next year. Even though he never met his cousin before, he was very sure he will be a good and strong bodyguard for her.
Hizashi sighed sadly and proudly at Neji's excitement. He felt sorry for young Neji's future You will be strong Neji...stronger than any Hyuuga. I will teach you and train you to be better than any of the Branch house. You should be the heir of the Hyuuga main family.
" All right Neji, start doing warm ups and do 30 laps around the Branch house main court yard." barked Hizashi to his son.
Neji didn't flinch at the tone his father was giving him, instead he yelled a loud " HAI ! " and started the laps around the court yard.
Hizashi watched on as his son did his third lap and smiled at Neji " You will be a great Ninja one day."
In Neji's mind...
Glen yawned as Neji did his laps around the compound.
" Well, looks like I have my work cut out for me...now I need to make sure Neji won't be the prick he is like in the canon." said Glen to himself and started to doze off.

Back in the leaf...
Naruto was sleeping in his apartment, all was quiet in the house, nothing moved, not even a mouse. Suddenly a black shadow appeared over the small form of the boy. The figure was holding a Kunai and was approaching him with hatred in his eyes.
Fortunately his guardian angle was wide-awake at the time. He was watching the whole thing with Kyubi and tried to wake the boy up...but how ?
" Kyubi, we really need to do someting about this don't we ? " asked Max as he stared at the shining Kunai closing in.
" Hmmph, how can I do anything? I'm sealed in this cage remember? " replied the Demon Fox, although he sounded anoyed he was actually worried that if the Kunai did kill Naruto, he would die as well.
" Hey there must be someting we can do..." yelled Max in frustration; he hated to feel helpless as his host was facing death. In fact Max could swear he was looking at death right now.
" Maybe you could...but it's risky." growled Kyubi at last.
Max turned towards the Demon with hope in his voice " What ? WHAT WAY ! Tell me quick before we die ! "
" It's risky and you might get stuck..."
" Well, it's gotta be better than cold death right ? Besides, why should you care ? "
" Fine, I'll tell you this. There is a way to help the kid. You'll have to merge your spirit and soul with him, once it is done you'll have control over him as long as he's asleep. The only risky part is that he'll never wake up and you'll take his place as Naruto."
" But...what about his soul and spirit ? "
" He'll turn up here, and if he doesn't wish to go back...you'll be stuck as Naru Max. "
Max didn't say anything for a few seconds then finally told the Kyubi that he'll do it.
" But what if you're stuck? " asked Kyubi.
" Heh, it would be nice to walk under the Sun again wouldn't it ? " said Max cockily " So...how do I merge ? " at that Kyubi used it's chakra and wrapped Max with one of his tail and all Max felt was a tug at his naval and everything turned black.
A soft glow was wrapped around the three year old Naruto and he grew a little in size as Max's spirit and soul was fused with the original Naruto. He had become Naru Max.
Naru Max opened his eyes and turned sharply to the left just as the Kunai struck his pillow. He stood up and glared at the shocked assailant.
" So...trying to kill me while I'm sleeping eh ? Well fat chance you moron. " said Naru Max as he leaped out from his bed and pulled the blanket over the intruder.
Naru Max noticed something strange in him as he tried to find something to defend himself. He was indeed shorter than his normal height but as he look at his reflection in the mirror he noticed that his Blonde hair had black streaks in them and the tips on his hair was also black. Also the fact that he was a little bit taller than the real Naruto amazed him.
The assailant tore through the blanket and slashed it to shreds and glared at the Kyubi's host " You demon spawn, you killed my sister and my wife ! Now you shall die ! " he yelled and sprung at the boy.
Naru Max made a fake handseal movement and shouted out loud " Katon : Goukakyuu No jutsu ! "
The attacker was frozen in his spot as he saw the handseals and heard the words out of the young boy's mouth. He braced himself for the flames but nothing happened, he cursed for being tricked " DAMN YOU ! How dare you trick me ? "
" Sucker, you fell for it." said Naru Max as he ran to the kitchen and found what he was looking for. He took the left over sake bottle by the last caretaker, who was a drunk and beat Naruto just for fun last night. Then he ran towards the drawer for a lighter and waited for the attacker to rush in.
" Now you're going to pay for it." said the attacker, what he got himself into was big mistake as he took the first step in the kitchen.
" From here on it's original, Katon : Goukakyuu no Jutsu revised ! " said Naru Max and drank the spicy sake then took aim at the incoming attacker and spat the whole liquid with the lighter lit brightly a few inches in front of him.
The alcohol combined with the fire became a great flaming ball of fire, just like it's names sake, the Grand Fireball jutsu.
The mask and clothes of the assailant caught fire and he was screaming out loud as the hot burning fire was eating away his rather think fabric. Alcohol along with fire isn't a pretty combo.
" Urrggh, damn sake tastes awful, I need a Bud." said Naru Max.
The attacker ran out of the apartment screaming his lungs out as people came out of their own house looking at a flaming human torch.
Naru Max smirked at that and locked his door.
Inside Naru Max's head...
Naruto woke up at the screams from the attacker that was being transferred through the PC's speakers. He was awed at the scene in front of him. There was a large bed and a stove filled with food. Then there was this strange looking device that was showing what looked like his own bedroom. It was as if looking through somebody's eyes.
" Hey kid," growled a voice.
Naruto turned at the voice and was shocked as he saw the Kyubi in the caged seal.
" What..what are you ? " asked Naruto in his cute voice filled with not fear but curiosity.
" Hmm...you are not afraid of me ? " asked Kyubi.
" No...hey you're just a huge pile of fur, what's so scary about that? " yelled Naruto as he pointed his finger at the now angry Kyubi.
" How...how DARE YOU ! HOW DARE YOU SHOW SUCH DISRESPECT TO ME, THE GREAT KYUBI NO KITSUNE ! DEMON LORD OF THE UNDERWORLD! " roared the Demon from his cage.
Naruto would be called stupid not to be shocked at the news. Here he was, standing in front of a ten feet tall Fox that claimed to be the demon Fox that nearly destroyed Konoha. Suddenly all the pieces started to fit together as he remembered what the attacker yelled at him ( well it's actually Naru Max ) and then stared in shock at the whole thing.
" You're...you're in me aren't you ?"
" You seemed to be a lot smarter than you were in the series." said Kyubi.
" Huh ? "
" Nevermind that, even though I would like that idiot to get a feel of being stranded alone in your apartment, this just won't do. Listen brat, that other brat that has your body is needed here...So, you need to get back to your own body before his own soul merges with your body completely. You are only three years in your age and your chakra hasn't merged with mine completely yet...and...wait you don't understand what I'm saying right ? "
Naruto shook his head.
" Figures. Anyway, you must get back to your body understand? "
" Uh huh, but how ? " asked Naruto.
" Come near me and think of your body back... think of your bed." said the Kyubi then unleashed one of his tails and wrapped the boy in chakra.
Naruto was enveloped in a flash and soon Max stood in his previous place and fell on his back side rather painfully.
" Damn, I swear that's what was just like what J.K. Rowling described what a Port Key felt like." said Max.
" J.K what ? Uh, never mind. I need rest from pulling that stunt, I still need to figure out about some things." answered the Kyubi.
" Huh? I thought you could do that anytime you want."
" No...Actually I never thought that it was possible to let both your souls merge with each other to perform that stunt and I wasted a lot of chakra just to force you two to merge with each other. I am sure however that if you both did it together, you'll be able to do that without my help."
Max stared slack jawed at the Kyubi.
" What ? "
" That's the second time you said something without swearing or growling out loud." said Max.
" Shut up Human ! "
" Now that's the Kyubi I now."
-
Haku and his family was able to move to the Hidden Village of the Mist that week and he was happy to be able to see the scenery along the journey.
Deep inside his mind...
Daniel smirked to himself " Looks like the plan is working, I knew playing MK Deception and Deadly Alliance was a good idea. Wonder how the others are doing. Maybe I'll check them out tonight. "

Gaara was having a weird time controlling his sands today; they seemed rather tensed whenever his father was around. He was sad when his sister and brother was taken away from him. But he now lived with his uncle Yashamaru and he was a good guy to be with. He taught Gaara many things about friendship and how to take care of himself if he's away doing missions.
At this time Yashamaru was going shopping and left him all alone to play in his room with his teddy bear.
" Hey Sand, what will you become today ? Why did you act that way towards daddy? He was sad...why sand...why ? " asked Gaara to the dancing sand in front of him. Suddenly the sand started to move to form a man in his early twenties, about 6'5 and bushy hair standing there looking at him with a smirk.
" Wha...what is this ? " asked Gaara.
" Hey kid. What's up ?" said Peter.
" Um...I'm Sabaku no Gaara, what's yours ? "
" Call me Peter."
" Um...who are you ? "
" I'm your... conscience."
" Conscience? What's that ? "
" Um...I'm the voice in your head that tells you what is right and what is wrong."
" Hmm...okay, wanna play with my Teddy ? "
" Uh, not right now okay kid ? I'm just testing this trick out and found out that it works. Heh anyway I'll talk to you later..." then, just as he was starting to disappear into sand " Hey Gaara, remember that no matter what, you're not alone. I'll be here with you always."
Gaara gave a nod and played with his Teddy.

Naruto was scared when he woke up that day. There were people around his apartment, including a guy with a huge burnt scar on his face.
" You demon spawn, you're the cause of my mother's death, for that you shall pay ! " shouted a man on the right.
" Yeah, kill the devil ! "
" Feed him to the vultures! "
" Pull out his heart and see if it's black like the devil he is ! "
" You burned my face ! "
Then they tied him up and gagged him. They took him towards an abandoned cottage and sealed the doors so that no one can notice the killing.
Naruto was scared beyond anything and cried as they hit him again and again with sticks, fists and kicks. Then some one took a heated metal and burned his hands, it was the same guy that attacked him few nights before.
" Hah, not so tough now huh ? " laughed the man.
Naruto cried but no one cared, he tried to fight the pain but it was too much for him to stand. Even with Kyubi's chakra slowly healing him, it still hurts like hell.
A woman took a cup and threw it to his head, it hit home and blood flowed down Naruto's eyebrow.
Inside his head...
Max was clenching his fists as he witnesses this.
" Kyubi, can't we do anything for him ? I mean can't I fuse with him again ? At least with my height I could out run them or at least fight them off just don't let them hurt him like this. I know, use your chakra and blast them away ! " yelled max.
Kyubi growled in annoyance " You idiotic human, with that much demonic chakra around Naruto's small frame he'll become part demon ! His body isn't developed yet to handle that much strain."
" Why not let ME do it? I'll merge with him and you can lend me your chakra, at least I'm developed enough. " said Max.
" I can do that...but I need you to promise me one thing." said the Kyubi.
" Name it."
" Let me watch that story about the Spirit Detective first."
Max sweat dropped but agreed " Sure sure, just do your thing already."
Kyubi sighed and wrapped his tail around Max's body as the boy felt the familiar tug against his naval.
-
Outside, Naruto was cuddled up in a ball until the soft glow emitted from his as he started to grow a few inches in height.
The former attacker from a week ago started to sweat as he remembered the time when Naruto did this " Watch out ! He's going to attack! "
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out as red chakra surrounded the boy and healed the wounds on his body.
" You guys...are soooo busted." said Naru Max as he glared at the villagers " You're all gonna pay for what you did to him...and you're gonna pay double ! " he yelled as his aura flared all around him burning the fabrics on the floor and the curtains on the window.
The villagers started to panic and wanted to run out of the house but with lightning fast speed, Naru Max was teleported with the help of Kyubi's chakra and stood there blocking the door towards the outside world.
" You are all going to feel pain...more pain than you will ever dreamed of." Naru Max said this as his eyes glowed a sickly green and lifted his arms towards the now terrified villagers.
A smirk formed around his mouth and he let out five words in a whisper " Shishi HouKo Dan."
What followed next was a huge explosion that shook the entire neighborhood. Anbu squads and Jounins rushed to the area and started to search for the threat to the village.
" Was it an attack ? " asked a Jounin.
" No...maybe sabotage? " said an Anbu member.
" Either way, spread out and look for spies, Anbu team follow my lead. Takahashi, go get the Hokage and call for some Medics." said an Anbu Squad leader.
Back in the Hokage tower...
Sandaime was shocked when the boy changed shape and size then burned with an evil aura. He was about to send help when the boy started changing forms. Then an even bigger shock when he wiped the whole cottage down with just one swipe of his hands. And what was that jutsu he heard Naruto chanting ?
" Shishi Houko Dan ? This is strange...Naruto what have you done ? " sighed the old man as he covered his crystal ball and prepared to go to the scene of the crime.
The backlash from the technique was so strong that Naru Max was knocked unconscious together with the villagers. The only thing different was that he was unharmed save for the small bump in his head from the roof and other small scratches from the shrapnel. The medic nin that found him was surprised at this but suddenly he when he didn't feel the familiar beating of the heart he started to rush Naruto back to the hospital
Max found himself back in his head with Naruto and Kyubi.
Naruto was crying his eyes out as Max appeared.
" Kyubi ! What's happening here! Why isn't he back in his body ?" asked Max as he slumped down on his bed.
" He...doesn't want to...his will to live is gone." said Kyubi.
" No...this can't be happening." said Max as he heard this.
" I'm afraid he is. The beatings he had endure was so traumatizing to his young mind that he has given up the will to live on." said Kyubi.
Max stared at the young sobbing boy in front of him and tried hard to belive that this was the same boy who gave hope to others, who changed the destiny of many, who touched the hearts of everyone who came to know him as Naruto, who gave it his all to all his battles and never backs down from any of his promises...and the one who dreamed to become the greatest Hokage ever.
The young boy was sobbing and Max hugged him. Max ushered him to his bed and draped his blanket over Naruto and felt how weak and vulnerable he was. He was so fragile and skinny, and it pained Max to see him like this. He conjured up a warm glass of milk and let Naruto drink it slowly.
Then he activated his PC and a slow and soft music filled the hallway as Max sang along with it to the small boy in his arms.
" Come stop your crying, it will be alright. Just take my hand and hold it tight..." as he sang Naruto held his hands tightly and gazed at him with tear filled eyes.
" I will protect you from all around you...I will be here don't you cry..." Naruto stopped crying and listened on as the strong voice of Phil Collins started singing.
" For one so small, you seem so strong. My arms will hold you keep you safe and warm." Naruto snuggled along with Max in his blanket.
" This bond between us can't be broken I'll be here don't you cry."
As the chorus goes on Max sang along with the song " Cause we'll be in your heart, yes we'll be in your heart. From this day on now and forever more..."
Naruto sang along " You'll be in my heart, no matter what they say...you'll be in my heart ... always."
Then they let the song ran along as the time goes by...
Why can't they understand, the way we feel ?
They just don't trust what they can't explain.
I know we're different but, deep inside us,
We're not that different at all.
Kyubi was quiet the whole time, as the music seemed to affect him also.
The two boys sing together with the song " And you'll be in my heart. Yes, you'll be in my heart, from this day on, now and forever more..."
Don't listen to them 'Cause what do they know.
We need each other, to have, to hold.
They'll see in time ...I know
Max stared at Naruto and wiped away his tears, he smiled at him and said in his face " When destiny calls you, you must be strong. I may not be with you, but you've got to hold on. They'll see in time, I know. We'll show them together "
Cause you'll be in my heart, believe me, you'll be in my heart. From this day on, now and forever more ...
" Ohh you'll be in my heart, no matter what they say...I'll be here always...always..." Naruto nodded and stood up looking at Max and Kyubi with tears of happiness in his eyes.
" I'll be with you..." mouthed Max and watched on as Kyubi wrapped his tail around Naruto who embraced it. This made Kyubi flinched but let it slide.
(Soon all was back to normal as the music continued on playing until the scene fades.)
I'll be there for you always... always and always... just look over your shoulder...just look over your shoulder...just look over your shoulder...I'll be there, always.

In the hospital...
Sandaime sighed in relief as Naruto's heartbeat was detected. The only strange thing was that all his hair turned white and his breathing started to calm down.
" I'm so sorry for letting you endure that Naruto...I will make sure that you're father's wishes to make you a great Shinobi will come true..." said the Hokage to Naruto and left the room. No one knew about this and all thought that Naruto was dead, save for the Hokage's trusted Anbu team and the medic who brought Naruto in.
The medic felt sorry as he heard what the villagers did to Naruto. He was one of the ones whose family was already dead before the village was attacked by the Kyubi and knew that the boy was not to be blamed. He knew the feeling of losing ones parents and knew of the pain they felt. He also felt anger and shame towards his fellow villagers and friends for being this idiotic to judge a person.
Next day, Naruto woke up to see that the medic that brought him in adopted him.
" Hello and good morning Naruto-kun...I'm Minamino Shuichi, and I will be adopting you as my son." said a man with long red hair flowing behind him.
