Shioon's POV

Two weeks passed the same way. Something he had noticed was that someome was always watching them. Whoever it was had enough skill to hide their presence. However Shioon's intuned senses allowed him to notice. Neither he nor Ill as he requested to be called were able to identify the person.

They kept their practices to basic fighting techniques. This included first level techniques from EOTL. The Tiger would have been proud of him. If they weren't enemies that was.

In the afternoons after class he and Naruto worked on their jutsu. They both struggled with basic jutsu. Too much chakra was their issue. Ill didn't have the same problem. Once he had gotten down how to control it he could do jutsu just as well as ki.

The basic jutsu he struggled with because his ki overflow. It was only thanks to the the Black Heaven and Earth power distribution technique that it didn't over take him. The inner fire could potentially kill him. Depending on the situation it could kill anyone near him as well.

So he practiced every day. Slowly together both he and Naruto grew better. They could hold a transformation. They could even make a clones. If they tried to make more than one the second would turn out poorly.

As they were heading to their apartments one night a voice called from behind them," Boys hold up."

They turned to see a brown haired man in a jounin flak jacket walking towards them. He wore the leaf head band like a bandana. The most intriguing thing was the sword across his back.

Naruto stood slightly in front of Shioon. His blue eyes were ice cold like nothing he had ever seen before. In the time he had known Naruto the blond smiled and was friendly. This was the first time he had not been that way.

The jounin stopped noticing the protective stance. He held out his hands away from his body. Trying to show that he meant no harm. Naruto's eyes narrowed but didn't move.

With a sigh the said," My name is Hayate Gekko. I have been watching you train and I think I can help you. If you would allow me to."

The two boys exchanged glances. Shioon didn't mind the extra training. It was Naruto he was worried about. It was obvious that the other didn't trust the adult.

Naruto asked suspicion in his eyes," How do you plan on helping us?"

Hayate said," I have seen how you both struggle. I think chakra control exercises will help."

Both boys exchanged glances. Chakra control something they had been trying to research. The ninja library wasn't available to them. It wouldn't be until they were genin.

At the rate they were going they wouldn't pass the genin exam. To pass they had to make at least three clones. While they could pass the transformation jutsu. They could not pass the final exam.

Naruto asked him never taking his eyes from the jounin," What do you think Shioon? I don't mind learning from him but its up to you."

There was still something left unsaid in the blond's eyes. They weren't really friends. They just did school work together. Though it did seem to lighten the others mood whenever they did. From what Shioon had seen he was the closest thing Naruto had to a friend.

It was something Shioon was familiar with. He never had a friend before he went to Hogwarts. Having grown up without friends and a partially insane teacher he didn't know how to react. Ron would have told Naruto to act like a lion. To take the offer without any concessions. Hermione would have seen him as an authority figure. This meant they must be right.

Shioon wasn't sure however. Umbridge, Fudge and so many others were prime examples of why you shouldn't trust based on blind assumptions. Yet his instincts had no problem trusting this man to a point.

He whispered to Naruto," It can't hurt to try. I mean we only have a week left before the exam. We have to pass."

Naruto still had reservations. It was clear in his blue eyes. Still he nodded.

Then he turned to Hayate and said," Okay. When and where?"

A smile broke out across the man's face. Before he could reply however a harsh cough errupted from his chest. Both boy's stepped forward. They might not know the man but that didn't mean they would leave him if he was hurt. The brown haired man waived them off.

He said once the coughing had calmed somewhat," I'm okay. It's normal for me. How about we meet in the afternoon? After your classes let out."

Both boys nodded. That was when they usually went to train. Training them at the same time would just make it easier.

Hayate inquired after a moments thought," How about I treat you both to something to eat? You both look like you could use some food. Especially after training. My treat."

They shared a grin. Neither would turn down a free meal. That and so far the only place Shioon had gone to eat was the ramen stand.

Hayate followed them to the ramen stand. The old man greeted warmly," Naruto, Shioon welcome back. The usual boy's?"

That's when he noticed the jounin behind them. His eyes searched the jounin before nodding.

He greeted less warmly but polite enough," Hayate. It's been a long time since you ate at my stand."

Hayate said looking sheepish," I have been on a lot of long term missions. With any luck I should be around for awhile. I have agreed to teach these two in preparation for their exams next week. Treating them to dinner is a bonus."

The old man had Naruto's and Shioon's bowls out first. It wasn't until their third bowl that Hayate's finally came. The old man's obvious favouritism was encouraging.

By the time they were finished they had about broke Hayate's spare cash. It would teach him not to let two growing teenagers have free reign. That would only hurt his wallet.

On the way back to their apartments Shioon asked," Hey you want to come over tomorrow? Ill wouldn't mind having you come over. We could play some games. Take a break from only doing training."

Naruto's blue eyes searched his for a long moment. Then the fake smile appeared on his face as he said," Yeah let's."

Before Shioon could say anything on it they had reached their respective apartments. Naruto hurried into his leaving him behind. He was beginning to realize they were a lot alike. Naruto was an orphan just like him. Unlike him however he didn't have someone who took him in. Even if the Dursley's hated and absurd him.

Naruto had spent his entire life alone. Now Shioon was holding out a hand in friendship. Maybe he would trust him.

When he opened the door to his apartment. Ill was in the living room a scroll on his lap. The blond looked up and smiled.

He greeted," Shioon, welcome home. Did you eat already?"

Shioon said with a smile," Hey Ill. Yeah I ate with Naruto and a jounin from the village. He has offered to help us train in preparation for genin exam."

His brother in all but blood set aside the scroll. He asked concern lacing his tone," Are you sure that's wise? We still don't know anything about this village. If we end up leaving that might mean bad blood."

Shioon's shoulders slumped. If he made friends with Naruto and then left. He would be leaving the blond all alone again. Abandoning him just as every one else had.

Somehow he knew he wouldn't be able to do it. If they became friends he would not be able to leave. Once someone had his friendship it was until they broke it. No one had broken his friendship before. While friends didn't stay together forever he didn't think he would be able to leave Naruto. Especially knowing the other had no one.

He said," I think that it would help. I won't pass the exam next week without learning this. Ill what have you found out about Naruto?"

The other's face became hard as stone at the question. Something he had found out hurt him. Not physically but mentally. It was like when they had first met. When he found out why the elders all hated him.

Ill said waving him over to their chairs," You are going to sit down for this. I was incredibly pissed when I found out."

With a raised eyebrow he did as he was asked. He chose his favorite chair which was by the window. Ill for a long moment was silent. Stewing over what he had learned.

Then stated," As there are guardians and Heavenly Ways Masters in our world there is something similar here. They are Bijuu. Tailed demons that are known for nearly destroying villages. From what I understand the only way to control them is to seal them. Twelve years ago the Nine Tailed fox appeared. It attacked this village. The previous Hokage gave his life to seal it in a newborn child."

That's when all the clues clicked in his mind. Naruto was that newborn child. The adults hated him for having the demon in him.

He felt for the blond. His master had abandoned him when he first received his guardian mark. The same mark that was hidden by a black wrist band. Despite it being a different world he didn't want to take the chance of the mark being recognized. Guardians were thought of as being evil. Not that he blamed those who thought that way.

Shioon had done some research on the guardians. Guardian's activation was what made them dangerous. While a vessel could use the ki from the guardian without an activation it couldn't access the other things. Abilities, ki techniques, others only spoken about in legend.

The activation was different for each guardian. There wasn't a clear definition on what it was or how to go about it. One thing was clear. Ninety percent of those who had gone through the activation went insane. Not knowing what caused the activation made it hard to predict why they went insane.

Those with the mark of the guardian were killed for that exact reason. That way there wasn't a chance that their insanity could go any further. To stop it before they became too powerful. This begged the question however. Why didn't Yoochun kill him? A question he would likely never get an answer to.

Shioon said looking out the window," I am going to try and be his friend. I know better than anyone what it is like to be alone. To have no one that cares about you."

Ill bowed his head as he responded," As you wish Gaju nim."

Shioon looked at him sharply as he snapped," Don't call me that. I never wanted the position. The only reason why I took it was to get the Murim off my back. I never wanted this..."

It was true. He hated the fame. No matter where he went he seemed to attract attention. Few things bothered him as much as fame did. Still he tried to work through it.

Ill said raising his hands in a sign of peace," Be calm, Shioon. I didn't mean anything by it. I forget sometimes that you weren't raised in Murim. You act like one of us most of the time. Except for your heart. That's all you. No Murim taint in your heart."

Murim taint. That was right. He wouldnt kill someone. Or allow someone to be killed for him. He once even stopped his own teacher from killing a man for him.

He said standing up," I'm going to bed. We have an early start again tomorrow."

Ill responded with a slightly worried," Shioon..."

Shioon ignored him however. Instead going to his room. His sleep was not as restful as he would have liked. It was full of memories best left in the past.

Chun's POV

He had been out of country when he received the signal. A meeting of the strongest of Murim was to be had. It had taken him almost a month to return to Korea. In the airport he had seen three of the other guardians. It seemed he wasn't the only forbidden person to be called. For many generations the guardians had been a no touch point. No one wanted anything to do with them.

For the first time since he destroyed Shioon's ki center he made his way to the Alliance building. He knew Kang Sung was in charge of the alliance now. Despite that he still didn't trust the elders not to pull something.

Cautiously he and the others made their way inside. Members of the Alliance stiffened at seeing them. A few ran off to gather the elders. No one however made a move to attack them.

Less than five minutes later Kang Sung, the elders of the Sunwoo clan, and a few others stood in the lobby. Their eyes searching each of the guardians. Chun knew what they were searching for. The fifth guardian. Every one knew he was alive and out there somewhere. No one knew who the fifth guardian was however.

Kang Sung said waving towards the elevator," Let us take this discussion somewhere more private."

With increasing apprehension Chun was the first to enter. Somehow he knew this wasn't going to end well.
