Chapter 2: The Tankui of the Sand
I am a monster, I live to kill, I live to bring suffering on others, I am a demon, I love only myself.
Gaara of the Sand
Naruto walked to a play ground outside the hotel they were staying at. His thoughts going through the information he just heard. He had Kyuubi sealed within him, that's why everyone glared at him where ever he went, but Feneris-san said he could teach him how to use Kyuubi's power. So that wasn't too bad, was it?
Naruto was snapped out of his thoughts as he approached the strangely empty playground, empty except for a boy about his age with red hair, a teddy bear, and that looked like he hadn't slept in years.
"Hi." Naruto greeted cheerfully.
The red haired boy just glared at Naruto
"I'm Naruto, future Hokage of the hidden leaf village." Naruto persisted
"I am Gaara, carrier of the Tankui demon Shukaku." Was Gaara's response.
"Really! My sensei says I have the fox demon Kyuubi sealed in me, maybe sensei can also teach you to use Shukaku's power."
"I'd be happy to." Was Feneris's answer as he walked up to the sand box. "If you want to come with us, meet us at entrance of the village at dusk."
Gaara's room
Gaara sorted trough his thoughts as well as a six year old psychotic, insomniac could. Did he trust that man? His father merely saw him as a weapon, and his older siblings were scared of him, along with the entire population of the hidden sand village. But this man promised to teach him how to control Shukaku, if it was true he could finally face the demon the made his life a living hell.
Throwing caution to the deserts winds, Gaara grabbed his gourd and a few necessities and waked out to meet Feneris and Naruto.
"Feneris-sensei! Are you sure Gaara will come!" complained a bored Naruto.
"Yes I'm sure Naruto." Was Feneris's calm reply "Gaara will come."
Just then they both saw Gaara walk down the street towards them.
"I've made up my mind, I'm coming with you." Was Gaara's answer.
"Good now lets get out of here." Was Feneris's answer.
Hokage Tower: Village Hidden in the Leaves.
"What do you mean Naruto is gone!" The third roared at a jonin with spiky silver hair and his forehead protector pulled down over his left eye.
"He has disappeared," was the jonin's response. "His apartment is empty, and he left you this note."
The hokage took the messily written note and read.
Hey old man. I have gone training for a few years, so I can become hokage when I get back.
Naruto
"Kakashi."
"Yes Hokage-sama"
"Check with the gatekeepers to see if they have seen Naruto leave. Oh and I'm coming with you."
When Kakashi and the 3rd arrived at the gates, both chunin guards were drunk, really drunk.
"What is the meaning of this!" Kakashi roared at the unfortunate chunins.
"Hey Kakashi…" one of the guards slurred out, "we just having a little party, hic cause the hic demon is now hic gone."
"What! When did this happen!" the hokage yelled.
"Oh about 9:00 this night," the other guard slurred "damn demon brat left with some brown haired guy in a green cloak going towards wind country."
"You are a disgrace to the Hidden Villages of the Leaf," was the Hokage's reply, "both of you will have you ninja status revoked, and are now being charged with negligence of your duties. Kakashi meet me in my office."
With a poof both the 3rd and Kakashi repapered in the Hokage's office.
"Kakashi I have a mission for you, this is S-ranked due to the Kyuubi factor, Find Naruto and make sure he is safe and bring him back, oh and take this." The Hokage said handing Kakashi a scroll, "Use this jutsu to walk through the hidden villages safely."
Kakashi unrolled the scroll and read.
Polymorph Jutsu: Ninjutsu Technique
Seals: Hawk, Fox, Badger
This jutsu is used to change the physical appearance of a being, unlike the transformation jutsu this is not an illusion and can lead to horrific results if used incorrectly.
Kakashi put the scroll in a pocket in his vest, bowed to the hokage and left the room.
Deserts of Wind Country
The small group stopped when the hidden sand village was out of sight. Feneris could see his apprentices were out of breath, Naruto seemed to have lots of endurance, which was probably enhanced by the presence of Kyuubi. Gaara however didn't seem to have such endurance and was gasping for breath. Feneris had to admit that without his magic aiding him he was even winded.
"Feneris-sensei can we stop here, I'm exhausted." Naruto gasped.
"I'm afraid we can't," was Feneris's answer "if we are still in wind country when the morning comes we run the risk of being found. However I have a spell that can get us to the coast quickly."
"Spell?" Naruto quizzically asked
"It's something that's like a jutsu but it draws from sources other then your chakra"
"Oh"
"Now put these on." Feneris instructed tossing both boys a pair of goggles and a scarf. "You'll need them trust me."
When Naruto and Gaara had put the goggles on and wrapped the scarf over their noses and mouth, Feneris grabbed his staff and made a few quick gestures with his had then muttered
"Sandstorm Traveler"
A low rumble echoed across the dessert, then tsunami of sand cleared one of the dunes.
5 minutes and 700 km later
Naruto climbed out of a pile of sand and shook sand out of his hair, followed shortly by Feneris then Gaara.
"That was awesome!" Naruto exclaimed "what was that ?"
"That was my Sandstorm Traveler spell, it uses a sandstorm to cover hundreds of kilometres in minutes" Feneris explained.
"Where are we." Was all Gaara had to say.
"At a coastal village, where we can hopefully find a boat to Water country." Was the answer.
"The village was actually a port city with an impressive harbour, so it didn't take Feneris long to find a ship going to Water country. As the ship slipped through the waves, Feneris opened the room door to find Naruto snoozing like a rock, and Gaara wide awake.
"Hey Gaara, why aren't you sleeping?" Feneris asked.
"I can't sleep, or else Shukaku will devour my emotions and take over." Was Gaara's response.
"Well I can probably fix that. Can you please show me your seal."
"I have no seal on me."
"No seal! Well no wonder Shukaku can take over, well take of your shirt and lie down."
Gaara took of his shirt and lay on the bed while Feneris took a bottle of red liquid and a paint brush out of his pack.
"What's in the bottle?" Gaara asked
"Blood, I need the power found in it to make the seal function," was Feneris's answer
Feneris stated painting a seal around Gaara's naval, when it was done it looked like a four arrows pointing towards his naval, with runes circling the entire construction.
"There done! You can go to sleep now Gaara" Feneris said as Gaara fell to sleep immediately.
Gaara's Dream
Gaara stood in the middle of a dessert then the sand rose up in front of him to form the great tankui youkai Shukaku.
With a savage laugh he charged at Gaara only to have great black chains shoot out of the sand and drag him down
"What! No! Damn that Elf to Hell," Was all Shukaku managed to say before he was dragged under.
Gaara smiled for the first time in years, he could now sleep without fear of Shukaku.
End Dream
While Gaara was sleeping peacefully. Feneris moved up to Naruto, making sure he was deep in sleep he pulled up Naruto's shirt to reveal his seal, Feneris then moved his hand over a part of the seal wiping it clean, he then quickly replaced it with a straight line made of runes. Satisfied he then pulled Naruto's shirt back down then forced some psion out through his "third eye" and entered Naruto's mind.
Naruto's mind
Feneris stared down a hallway of locked doors. "A basic mental defence, interesting." Was all Feneris thought as he strode down the hallway.
Soon he found what he was looking for, an iron door locked and bolted. Pulling back the bolt he slipped through the door.
The room was full of leaking pipes with a great gate at the end, two red eyes glared out at him between the bars.
"What do you want mortal!" Kyuubi Roared
"Your salvation." As he raised his hand and muttered "Pacify" under his breath.
A bright blue light engulfed Kyuubi. When it was gone Kyuubi had turned into a man in his late 20s with red hair, and nine fox tails sprouting from spine wearing a suit of samurai armour
"The madness it has left my mind, yet I have committed terrible acts while under its influence." Kyuubi stated.
"And I am offering you atonement for your acts." Feneris said
"How can I be atoned for my acts when I am trapped in this boy's body." yelled Kyuubi
"Easy, this boy is the son of your old friend, the fourth Hokage it would help put the soul of your old friend to rest if you taught this boy the secrets of his clan as well as everything you know."
"Yes, I will do that, that shall be my first act of atonement, thank you O' druid" Kyuubi replied.
"Any time." Was Feneris's response as he left Naruto's mind
"Well I've got that done and over with" he thought as he climbed into his bunk and slipped into the sleep like trance all his kind were capable of. As the ship continued on its voyage to Water country.
