Disclaimer i do not own naruto

Chapter 5

Naruto nocked on Shintaro's door there was a shout to go through the side door. Naruto walked around to the side of the house and passed the barrier. He shivered and kept walking he continued until he saw mina throwing kunai at a dummy.

She hit the target about sixty percent of the time and the bullseye ten percent of the time. He watched her for anhour before saying he was going to exlore the forest. She hm and ignored him concentrating on her targets. Naruto left her alone leaving the yard and entering the makai forest.

Naruto saw that this forest was indeed different from his current home. The trees were purple with red leaves, the grass was pink and mauve, the fruits were a variety of color from green to blue and other colors as well kyuubi told him not to eat any fruit that were grey unless he was sick for it was medicine.

He walked for hours noting the animal here and there. He walked until he found Sintaro's training ground. He watched as Shintaro and Kenshin spared. One would move in attack then retreat and this contiued until Shintaro had Kenshin on the ground with his arms twisted behind his back and a knee on the middle of the spinal colum.

Shintaro released his son and told him ways to improve his technique. They both looked up as naruto approached them. Shintaro smiled at the look on Naruto's face. It showed fascination and awe. He waited till naruto was beside Kenshin to greet him. "hello naruto did you bring the blades."

Naruto nodded and pulled up his shirt to reveal the sheathed dagger like blades. Shintaro smiled " okay remove them from the sheaths."

Naruto obeyed and ubsheathed them, they looked like two ornamental daggers each with its own gaurdian. Kenshins eyes got wide as he saw the blades his father had never been able to sell. The daggers grew to a zanbato and a katana revealing the dragon and fox swords.

Shintaro's smile widend "have you named them yet?" Naruto shook his head but as he looked at the blades he got an ide for their names. He held up the fox blade" this one i'll call fire flower.and the other blizard dancer"

Shintaro nodded his aproval then looked seriuos."okay first naruto do you know anything about your chakra affinity?" seeing naruto's puzzled look he said" okay here" he handed naruto a black peice of paper.

Naruto looked from the paper to Shintaro who told him to add chakra to it. He nodded and followed kyuubi's instruction to think of a thin layer of power and put a little into the card. Naruto started as the paper split in half the ripped itself into four pieces. The first piece shrivled, the second became covered in water, the third burst into flames and the last crumbled out of his hands.

Kenshin and Shintaro stared in disbeleif at the paper then at naruto. Naruto got a nervous look on his face and asked in a quiet careful voice that made the two flinch "did i do something wrong". They both shook their heads the shintaro set about explaining what had happened.

"Naruto that peice of paper is a way to indicate the type of chakra you can use and what jutsus would work best with you. It seems you have five different ones."

Naruto was puzzled until kyuubi told him it was rare to have more than three even in the demon realm. he nodded while Kenshin looked at him in awe. No one had five types unless they were extremly adaptable.

Shintaro began by telling him what each sigh meant." okay naruto your main chakra affinity is wind because it split the paper in half, the next is lightning because the paper shrivled, after that comes water because it became was covered in water, the fourth is fire becuse of the flames, and the last is earth because it crumbled."

Naruto was wide eyed at the many different jutsus he could think of to use this information with.He listened as shintaro began to talk about his blades." okay naruto these blades were made by special forges that enable the blade to store or harness chakra so you can use jutsus with the blade or store extra chakra. Each blade has a special type of jutsu the user the fox blade is a fire type and the dragon is a ice type."

Naruto took all the information in and smiled as he listened to the type of training they were going to do. He was becoming more and more excited as shintaro talked of techniques and such.

The next day naruto began training to change the shape and size of the blades instantly so that they could look like any number of items the most fun were as the chopsticks he used to hold up his hair while fighting all he had to do was reach up and grab one. Months passed in a blur as he learned to control his chakra and change form at will.in no time it would be the day he had to go back, he would be ready then.

Time skip 2 years later

Naruto smiled as he walked through the forest stopping to pick a fruit everyonce and again for him to study later. He loved to explore the forest and find new things. He was eight now a little taller around 5'3 his body was lightly muscled from all the training he did while living in the forest and learning with the minata family and kyuubi. It had been fun so far learning things from kenjutsu to sewing, and cooking. Each one had taught him something they even introduced him to their friends and family going so far as to say he was one of theirs.He smiled at his memories of this morning, Mina had hit kenshin over the head after he commented about how naruto was attracting to much attention form everyone he had been joking but mina still hit him over the head and said he was just jealous. Kenshin was like an older brother depenadble and funny but a bit of a pervert.

He came to his favorite clearing that reminded him of the one he had played in with Itachi and the others except there was a waterfall in this one. He smiled his eyes sparkling as he thought of a great idea. He quickly stripped and ran to the top of the waterfall. He smiled up at the sky the sun reflecting off his tan nude body then he dived into the waterfall his ears and tails melting back into his body so he looked human even his long blond gold hair sparkled with his joy. He splashed into the pond below and swam to the top after touching the bottom. The water flowed off of his body in rivlets making it seem as if a celestial maiden had come to earth.

He didn't sense the intruder until they were to close to do anything but defend. Naruto whirled around and crouched in the water his hair covering his form he saw a stranger looking at him with a weird expression on his face. He looked around sixteen or seventeen his form wiry like that of a dancer. His hair a mixture of black and white with streaks of silver. He was around 5'11 wearing a white duster( think the 4th's coat ) with a yin-yang symbol surrounded by nine tiger claws, underneathe were black shinobi pants and a white shirt that was open at the throat a string on both sides left untied, he wore a face mask of black hiding his lower face completely. His strange eyes were a mixture as well now that naruto looked closer his crystal blue eyes starring into a mix of orange green and silver.

The man starred at him for what seemed like a life time until naruto couldn't take it anymore. "excuse me but can you please stop staring at me."

The man blinked and smiled behind his black face mask. He bowed slightly from his neck eyes still on naruto. "I did not mean to be rude and stare it is just that you are...hm how to say this." he looked thoughtful for a second the grinned" You look as my sister would say damn hot young lady"

Nauto gasped as he caught the last words. He barred his teeth in a snarl as he heard kyuubi chuckle and say "well he is right you do look like a beautifl woman kit" Naruto growled and stepped out of the water letting his hair fall back over his shoulder.

He smiled when he saw the man's expression change to shock as he saw naruto's well shaped young penis, his expression quickly changed as he looked over naruto again his eyes turning a liquid silver as naruto felt intense waves of lust coming off the man.

Okay he though to himself that hadn't worked now what. The man stepped forward his coat flaring open a bit. Naruto stared as he saw a black tail tipped in white flash before the coat closed. He held up a hand" Excuse me but what do you think you are going to do to me?" asked naruto in an increlious way.

The man froze and lifted a white eyebrow the black lowering to give him a curious look. His eyebrows both lifted in surprise as he got naruto's meaning. He laughed and said voice coming out in a pur " i mean no harm i just want to get a little closer thats all."

Naruto looked doubt full but stepped out of the water and went to his clothes he put on tan pants with a white shirt (think pirate shirt) and a green sash tying it around his waist. He put on brown leather boots supple and soft tying the strings up the back of the boots and then he sat down. He gestured for the man to sit in front of him.

The man had not moved an inch while naruto dressed but sat where naruto indicated. He repositioned his duster showing that he had two tails his ears which had previously been hidden. Each tail was a mixture of white and black, the ears were each a solid color one white going opposite of his black eyebrow. It was like a blending even his eyes reflected this.

Naruto raised his hair away from his neck and clothes it fell in waves from his hands like living silk holding his blanket of hair he used his wind chakra to discetely dry his hair faster. He moved his hands through his hair and watched the stranger to see if he would speak first. When the man said nothing but continued to stare naruto pinned him with a crystal blue glare. "Will you at least tell me who you are"

Naruto could sense the man's amusement at his question and was about to rise when the man said in his purring voice "my name is Ryuta you may call me ryu, now may i ask yours little one."

Naruto thought of not answering but decided to after he thought for a moment but decided not to give his full name " My names Naruto."

Ryu stood and knelt in front of a wary naruto. He sat back on his heels and asked " how old are you naruto-kun."

Naruto shrugged and answered truthfully "i'm eight."

Ryu put his face close to naruto's and inhaled. He sat back closing his eyes. The scent of arousal drifting off of him was getting to naruto. Kyuubi told naruto "Kit breathe through your mouth it will lessen the effects of his scent."

Naruto followed kyuubi's direction inching away from ryu as he sat there eyes closed. Naruto asked kyuubi"What is happening kyuubi-san why am i aroused at just his scent." Kyuubi paced in his cage thinking when he realised the reason he shouted" "Kit run he's a cat demon in mateing heat, run now before he opens his eyes"

Naruto's eyes went wide before he jumped up and ran into the forest closest to him. He ran as fast as his feet could carry him, jumping over stumps and logs,running under bushes and laying false scent trails, and surpressing his own scent as kyuubi had taught him. He ran for over an hour until he was at the gate into the human realm at Shintaro's house he ran through the portal at top speed until he reached home.

"Kyuubi-san why the hell did we have to run?" Kyuubi spoke in a monotone explaining that the cat demons were very notorious for being sexualy frustrated when in mating heat going after what ever is near. They put out a strong scent that attracks their pray and keeps them aroused too. They only give their victims a five minute chance to escape before they hunted them down and fucked them until the heat was over which took two weeks at tghe shortest times. Most of their victims areopposite sex but you get what you can. I told you to run because you are still to much of a kit to take that and survive.

Naruto gulped and headed deeper into his cave going into his bed room. He pushed aside the blue silk curtain and recalled his ears and tails. He steached his claws reaching for the high ceiling.mHe put his samples on the table near some knives scaples and tubes he had bought when he was 7. He threw his weapons except for his blades blizard and flame. He carried them into his bathing chamber and proceeded to wash the outside scents off his body.

(In the Demon realm)

Ryu opened his eyes and scented the air for his young pray. He fought his instincts to go after Naruto but sat in place waiting for the mateing heat to pass. He was glad that he was a nine tailed tiger the more power a cat demon had the better their control over their body and mateing heat.

He knew that even though he liked he boy's scent that he was to young to mate with but that didn't mean he couldn't keep an eye on him till he was. He walked to the water and pulls down his mask his face is slightly darker than naruto's own. He looked at his sharp features and knew that many would find him irresistable but thats why he wore the mask to many other cats had kept trying to attack and screw him even when not in mateing heat.

He sighed as he drank he was tired of other cat demons thats why he decided to travel more. He scented the air still puzzled by naruto's scent it was as if it was only half there. He sat back away from the edge again in thought. He smiled and decided to track the youngling. He ran following naruto's scent he came upon one spot where the scent spilt into different trails. He chuckled thinking to himself"This kids got skills to bad i got more".

He followed the trail that led to the village it was as if there were only the faintfest hints of a scent. He reached a house near the edge of the woods and found that the kids scent was every where along with that of wolves and others. He wondered if the kid was a wolf pup then dismissed the idea the kids scent smelled of fur and silk not trees and fur. He followed the freashest trail and found a gate to the human realm.

Now he was even more intrigued about the kid. He jumped through the gate and came out in another forest. He walked around following the scent until he reached a cave there was a small jutsu on the entrance that he recognized as a warning to animals. The scent changed after it entered the cave. He walked into the cave and couldn't help but gap. The caved was covered in heating seals and had pillows every where all of warm colors, that wasn't all there were book shelves filled with scrolls and books, there were seals to keep them from getting damp or ruined.

By the walls were tables all in a row, each had something on them. The first table held differnt plants and a journal, the next held dried plants and a bowl with a grinder, the last table held pugnent scents that he did not want to describe. He shook his head and continued until he reached a silk blue curtain there were scrolls all across the bed covered in the same material as the curtain, there across from the bed stood another table with plants scaples knives and pieces of paper randomly strewn over it.

He heard a splash and followed the sound passing more chambers with silk coverings for a doorway each a differnt color. He kept walking until he came to a light blue curtain where he heard splashing. He pushed aside the curtain and walked into a softly glowing room it held hundreds of floral scents. He walked around a large jutting piece of rock. The first thing he saw was a cascade of gold hair with streaks of red and red-orange the next thing he noticed were the ears attop the head they were just as golden with red tips and last of all were the golden tails colored the same as the ears.

He was shocked that he hadn't known the kid was in fact a demon fox. He stepped on a flower petal causing the relaxing naruto to spring up and draw his sword blizzard. He turned to stare at his intruder and found it was the same demon from earlier. Naruto starred at Ryu his cerulean eyes slitted and narrowed in anger and frustration. He couldn't understand how the demon had tracked him a two tailed demon should not have been able to track his faint scent.

He stepped out of the water holding his sword in his left hand as he placed his a towel around his waist with his right. He aimed at the taller man's chest growling when suddenly Ryu bagan to laugh. Naruto puzzled scented the air and found no trace of the mateing scent from earlier, he relaxed slightly and pointed his sword at the ground. He returned his gaze to ryu's face and realized that he had completely missed the fact that ryu's mask was gone.

Naruto took a second to look at his sharp handsome face before he asked " now how did you find me i left like fifty different trails no two tailed demon should be able to track me."

Ryu stopped his laughter and grinned down at naruto's disgruntled face " who said i'm a two tailed demon" with that he removed his duster and showed naruto his nine tails

Naruto cursed then said politely " can you tell me why you followed me."

Ryu looked thoughtful and smiled " simple i'm bored and you seem interesting."

Naruto knew from kyuubi's descrpitons of the demons and their realm that the cat demons were almost always bored and restless. He sighed then put blizzard back into it's sheath and walked around ryu knowing he would follow him. He walked to a red curtain and went inside. Ryu followed and was amazed to see the room full of clothes and mirrors along the walls. He watched as naruto chose a red pair of boxers, a light blue sweater that seemed to big for him as it slid slightly off his thin shoulders revealing a glimps of flesh before it moved to cover it again, a pair of black shorts baggy enough that he could fit several weapons along his thighs, and a pair of blue ninja sandles to complete his outfit.

Naruto diregarded ryu's presence and dropped the towel changing quickly then turning to strap on his dagger sheathes. He walked past Ryu again this time going past a brown curtain. He walked to the stove and turned the burner on he gathered the food from a cbinet that had seals for heat, cold,freshness,and to keep animals and bugs out. He washed the rice in a natural basin and put it on to boil then he chopped up pea pods, a couple of slabs of beef, bamboo shoots, as well as carrots and onions. He grabbed an frying pan from another cabinet. He added a little vegitable oil and some seasonning, he waited a few minutes then began to fry the food completely ignoring Ryu for the moment as he prepared dinner.

The scents wafting to Ryu from the stove had his stomache growling and he knew it would be good. He was slobbering by the time the food was done but he sat in his chair at the table and waited. He didn't have to wait to long because once the food was done naruto served him a large bowl of rice and a seperate one of the stir fry with a little dish of soy sauce and a cup of water.

They ate in silence and enjoyed the quiet. Naruto was calculating the time before kyuubi would tell him his real name. He had promised naruto his real name when he turned nine, naruto couldn't wait. He looked over at his companion and wondered what next.

--

30 minutes later

Naruto sat across from Ryu in the living room reading a book while Ryu explored. Naruto didn't mind for he knew that he would too if it had been another's home. He finally called Ryu," Ryu-san can you please tell me what you plan to do now that you've found me?"

Ryu stopped his exploring and looked at naruto" First i have some questions for you naruto." Naruto nodded he knew this was coming. "First question ...may i stay with you?"

Naruto was stunned by the question but nodded his assent after a quick yes from kyuubi.

"okay next question what are you?" He stepped close to naruto as he asked this sniffing the air around him.

Naruto explained that he was the carrier of the demon kyuubi after kyuubi told him it was okay. Ryu nodded and said as if to himself" thats why i smelled two different scents"

Naruto waited for Ryu's next question but it never came as a trap wire around the are he met the konoha ninja was tripped meaning he would have company there soon. He looked at Ryu and said" sorry can we continue this conversation later i have to leave, you can stay in the room behind the green curtain but stay out of mine there are surprised for intruders there."

With that naruto raced behind a curtain the color of pine trees and was gone. Ryu just shrugged and went to the bathing chamber for a bath he had seen clothes he could fit in naruto's wardrobe so he probable wouldn't mind. He whistled as he left the room.

(With naruto)

He raced through the tunnel using his demonic speed to make a thirty minute walk in just under four minutes. He recalled his demonic features his claws ,ears ,tails ,and fangs all melted back into his body. He ran over to the pond splashing his face just as four ANBU appeared in the clearing.

The leader itachi removed his mask first followed by the others. Keiji waved to naruto " hey kid long time no see. "

Naruto laughed and ran at him keiji had just enough time to brace himself before naruto pushed into his gut hugging him " hey kei-kun were ya been i've been working on my kunai throwing wanna see." Naruto's mask was firmly in place his bubly blue eye sparkling with mischeif.

Keiji shook his head remembering the last incident he couldn't sit down for a full week. Naruto let go of him and hugged Itachi, then shinichi and stuck his tounge out at anko before giving her a hug too. They had an understanding after corresponding for two years. He stepped away from them and took a simi-serious face his brows furrowing slightly.

He turned to Itachi and spoke in a wary voice" why are you here"

He looked from one to the other slowly backing away till he was near the forest by the cave. They flinched at the scared look on his face but none moved to comfort him. Itachi spoke in an emotionless voice as he said" Naruto uzumaki the hokage here bye requests that you live in the village till the time as you go to the academy."

Naruto's gaze became horrified as Itachi continued to speak. " you have tweny four hours before we return for you" Naruto shook his head backing away from them and then he turned and ran. Itachi pointed to shinichi and said "follow him we'll head back now."

Shinichi nodded and slipped into the shadows after naruto. He had trouble keeping up with naruto he silently wondered how he moved so fast through the dense forest. He was glad his kikai bugs could keep track of each other otherwise he would have lost naruto after the first five minute.

Naruto stopped at a glade near his main cave he plunged his head in the river in front of him. He let the rushing water wash away his tears. He lifted his head and talked to kyuubi"Kyuubi-san what am i going to do i'm not ready to go back to being hated by everyone i see its not fair that hokage-jiji did this to me."'Kyuubi sighed and wrapped his tails around naruto hugging him to his chest. He rubbed naruto's sensitive ears and made soothing noise until he stopped crying. "Kit youare stronger than they think you are and will do just fine just remember that you have shintaro and his family as well as the others in Hiroshima, buck up kit if they mess with you to much you could always kill them" Naruto smiled through his tears and stared at kyuubi's face twining his claws in kyuubi's blood red hair " Hai kyuubi-sama thank you" Naruto hugged kyuubi and returned to the real world.

He wasn't surprised to see his demonic features were out because while in his mind whatever form he held there would transmit to his outer body. He felt something on his shoulder. He pulled a female kikai bug off his shoulder and quickly felt out with his senses to locate the owner. He felt shinichi about half a mile away and closing fast.

Naruto laid the kikai bug on a rock after infusing it with his chakra so it would stay. He reclaimed his human form and ran to his cave activating the seals to keep others away. He ran into his room forgetting that Ryu was still there. He put his face in his pillow and slept dreaming of his past.

Ryu felt naruto return and found him in his room sleep he smelled salt water coming from naruto and knew he had cried. He sat on naruto's bed and stroked his hair "hey kit if you can hear me wake up i wish to ask you something."

Naruto woke thanks to kyuubi's prompting. He felt a hand in his hair and relaxed into the touch. He turned to make sure it was Ryu and not someone else. Ryu looked into his crystal like eyes seeing the pain and saddness reflected there.

"What happened to you naruto" His voice pitched soothingly at naruto keeping him calm. Naruto needed to talk to someone beside kyuubi and so he spoke of his life in the village when he ended his story by telling him they wanted him to return to the place of his torment Ryu was seething with a cold hatred for the villagers.

He looked down at the child who had suffered so much and yet still smiled he made his decision. "Naruto you said that you contain kyuubi is that correct." Naruto nodded" then will you allow me to join kyuubi within his cage"

Naruto looked shocked "are you sure you might be trapped in there forever too."

Ryu shook his head and smiled wider "No nartuo there is a great difference you see i'll go there voluntarily and you can summon me when you need me as well."

Naruto nodded and asked kyuubi if he was okay with having a roommate. kyuubi agreed because even with naruto he was still a bit lonely not being able to talk with others of his kind even though he wont admit it out loud.

Naruto gave the okay Ryu told him to remove his shirt and release a small amount of chakra.Naruto did so and kyuubi's seal showed through his skin around his belly button. Naruto was surprised when Ryu licked over his left nipple.

Ryu was going to enjoy even this small part of the ceremony even if it wasn't what he really wanted to lick it would do. He kept licking until naruto became aroused then he sank his fangs into naruto right around his nipple pushing his chakra into the wound to make the demonic mark. Naruto felt the bite through the pleasure and screamed a bit as the foreign chakra entered his system. He was panting by the time Ryu was done and his seal placed on naruto's body.

Naruto looked down at the mark surprised to see the same symbol that was on ryu's duster on his chest. Ryu looked at his symbol and licked his lips, now naruto repeat after me."Naruto nodded

"What was once one is now two"

"What was once one is now two"

"Myself i offer to you"

"Myslef i offer to you"

"Linked now till the end of time"

"Linked now till the end of time"

"This i do so pledge to you"

"This i do so pledge to you"

"I offer my allegience and spirit"

"I offer my allegience and spirit"

"thus our bond eternaly linked"

"thus our bond is eternaly linked"

"so i will it so shall it be done"

"So i will it so it shall be done"

Naruto stared as Ryu became a tiger black and white then he disappeared. Naruto looked down at the symbol to see it glowing then become the colors of Ryu's hair. He quickly went into his mind to make sure that ryu was there.

He entered the cage and found that there were now more books and weapons were on the walls as well as carpets to keep the feet warm. He walked around noticing changes here and there. He finally found them kyuubi in his red harem outfit with a red sash added and he saw that ryu wore black harem pants with a white vest with his symbol on back. They were arguing about something.

They turned as the object of their discussion walked into the room. Each wanted to say he had a claim but neither were willing to recognize the other. Kyuubi said he had prior claim since he knew him first but Ryu argued that he was the first to touch naruto out of a dream.

Naruto walked up to them stopping their heated disscussion mid words just by being there. They glanced at each other and nodded so it was settled they would share since they both cared fo rthe young kit. Naruto ran over and hugged kyuubi first then Ryu.

Ryu was glade that naruto's outfit had more cloth to cover his body or else something might have happened. He smiled a true smile at them and then he said" Thank you both for being with me even though i cant let you out often Ryu i'll try okay" Ryu nodded then naruto turned to kyuubi" Kyuubi-san i'll figure a way to set you free and give you a body kay" He nodded as well.

Naruto looked sad "now all i have to do is say goodbye to the others."

Kyuubi and Ryu looked at each other moving up oneither side of naruto hugging him then kyuubi pushed naruto back to the entrance."You better go kit the others will want a few hours with you." "I agree naruto you should make sure they know where you are going in case something happens"

Naruto nodded and left the cage once again. He activated the seals to preserve his home for long periods of time and then closed the portals to all the places he had traveled to while away from konoha so that nothing can come through while he was gone.

He grabbed some of his clothes, all the food, and a bag of money tucking them into a scroll before leaving his home for what he knew would be a while. He took one last glance at his home before he left to hiroshima.

(with shinichi)

Damn how could my kikai bug have gotten a rock and naruto mixed up( okay side note by the time he arrived the chakra naruto placed in the rock had already dissipated and left the bug confused). He lept from tree to tree heading in the general direction naruto had run.

He landed a few hours later outside of the a small Town called Hiroshima. He began searching for naruto starting with the nearest food place which happened to be Quisine palace. He walked in looking to see if naruto was in the resturant though he doubted it he would have gone somewhere special. He caught the flash of gold hair out of the corner of his eye. He turned to see a picture on the wall he stared as he saw a smiling naruto with a group of people all laughing.

On his right was a big brown man with gray eyes and beside him was a shapely woman with red-gold hair and gray hair as if mother nature couldn't decided. On naruto's right were a boy and girl they both looked like the two on the left making it them their children. He looked closely at the words beneathe the picture it said "Here is our champion the little angelic demon that out ate jininji making a new record of eating onehundred and twenty bowls in one sitting Naruto uzumaki.

Shinichi was stunned at the fact that the people called narut a demonic angel as if they knew he was the barer of the nine tailed demon fox kyuubi no kitsune. Shinichi grabbed the nearest waitress she was lovely with with brown hair and maroon eyes he pointed at the picture and said loud enough that she would hear but no one else " Has naruto come in today."

She nodded and a sad smile showed on her face "Yeah he was here a little while ago to say goodbye to everyon. Heh he even promised to drop by again when he could."

Shinichi was panicking slightly even though he didn't show it as he looked around at all the customers wh wore the same face as the waitress. He watched as the people nearest him raised their glasses and cried out" TO our cute little angel may he have a good life without us."

Shinichi was happy that naruto had made so many friends out side of konoha, but sad that he had to take him back.He looked back at the waitress to and asked " Do you know where he went."

She sniffed and said" Yeah he'll be in front of minata's house so he can say godbye to everyone at his early birthday barty since we wont see him on his real one."

He nodded his glasses reflecting her image back at her "may i stay here until then ma'am"

She nodded then smiled a little "on the condition that you eat the uzumaki special that we're serving today in honor of naruto."

He noded and waited till she came back with a bowl of ramen with huge uzumaki spirals as well as red onion and other things like blue juice. He looked at it then lowered his collar and began to eat waiting for his chance to take naruto back but dredding the confrontation that was sure to come.

(with naruto)

He hugged mina and the others and had them all sit in the living roo he had decided thatt they had a right to know what he truely was and how he came to be as he was.

They listened as naruto told them about his life in konoha and all that had happened to him and why. Long before he was finished mina and Lunair were crying and when he finished even shintaro and kenshin were pale with rage and greif.

Shintaro asked to meet kyuubi and Ryu so he could thank them for going with naruto. Naruto nodded and rubbed his seal on his upper left chest and beside him appeared Ryu in human form next he switched places with kyuubi so they could talk.

Shintaro watched as naruto's hair became blood red his eyes going from blue to red then the true gold of kyuubi's eyes. His wife and daughter where the first to introduce themselves then kenshin and last him.

He looked over the two demons and could tell from their eyes that they did indeed care for his adoptive son. He nodded and bowed formally surprising everyone but his wife. "thank you for caring for the son of my heart though he is not blood he is a part of our family."

The others nodded and bowed to. Kyuubi smiled naruto's smile and bowed as well" thank you for helping the kit in his time of need and being the family he never had for that you will have my and the kits alleigence as well as the cat's there too. Pointing at Ryu who bowed as well. "For know i would let you be with the kit for as long as possible so to you i bid fare well " he smirked as Ryu vanished and he switched back with naruto.

Naruto stayed with them for the rest of the day until midnight then the party began. They danced and partied till the stroke of three then the whole town went silent as naruto told them how much he had enjoyed the past two years and hoped to return someday so as to see everyone then he opened a small scroll and out poped a portrait with every person naruto had ever met in the town and himself below were the words i'll never foget my one true home.

everyone cheered as he handed the portrait to the town leader to put where they choose and the he showed them the smaller copy he had for himself. They whistled and cheered louder as Lunair uncovered a table stacked high with gifts from everyone. Naruto' tears flowed from his blue eyes as he grinned full out making everyone in the crowd smile too. He acepted their gifts and said that he had to leave now.

He starred straight at shinichi as he said this. Shinichi landed beside naruto and said "are you ready to return"

Naruto shook his head " no but i will go so as not to cause hokage-jiji any trouble."

He bid a final farewell to everyone and stepped into shinichi's arms. They disapeared from the stage leaving a crowd of people praying for his safe return, No one saw a pair of silvery eyes glinting from the shadows following or noticed that when naruto vanished so to did they

(Outside of konoha three hours later)

Naruto walked beside shinichi depressed that he had to leave his new family behind to return to a place of torture to him.

Shinichi glanced down at naruto's sad face and pulled a scroll out of his pocket later if anyone asked he would deny it but for now he hoped it was enough. "naruto"

"..."

"Naruto will you please look at me"

Naruto looked up to see a scroll in shinichi's hand. He looked from the scroll to shinichi and back "shi-san is this for me"

Shinichi nodded giving naruto the scroll " its a late birthday gift but it might come in useful to you"

Naruto opened the scroll to see a face mask like the one ryu had worn before and a pouch of kunai and shuriken. He smiled up at shinichi and hugged him "Thank you shi-san"

shinichi smiled behind his collar " no problem you'll be starting training soon enough."

Naruto looked confused and said " i thought i couldn't start school for another year."

Shinichi laughed " who said anything about school kid we as a team and under the hokage's orders are going to train you in ANBU head quarters until you start school."

Naruto gave shinichi a hopeful look " can i go back and visit the others soon."

Shinichi shook his head "no not yet we need to train you to defend yourself first and for the rest of this year and next you will be training with other anbu under the code name " Kitsune"

Naruto laughed to himself looks like this would be fun after all least he can learn some things from them. Naruto placed the mask on hiding his lower face. He twisted his hair into a pnytail and put two chop sticks in his hair one had a fox design the other a dragon design.

Shinichi did a double take at naruto with the mask on and his hair so long no one would recognize him as the five year old who fled the village some years ago. He chuckled to himself thinking not many people would be able to tell he was male fromhis looks.

Naruto glanced down at himself the pulled out a mirror from his pocket to make sure he fixed his hair right. He was unsurprised to see he looked like a girl with his long hair and femmin appearence even his body looked like a young girls soft and supple. He decided at that moment he would tell no one if he was male or female until he entered school maybe not even then.

While he pondered this with encouragement from his two tenants they arrived in front of the gates to konoha. They were huge as naruto remebered as he walked closer and closer to them.

Shinichi steered them to the sign in point as a man looked over the papers shinichi handed him he smiled leaf head band catching the light. When they were finished they stepped to the gate.

The gates opened a sun blinded naruto but reveded as he looked upon...
