Naruto

Summary: Life has been peaceful in the hidden leaf village, along with the other grate nations. In fact, it seemed as if nothing could go wrong. But, suddenly, when the Kages of the five grate nations all receive a threat from an unknown enemy who apparently is apparently planning on attack the Hidden leaf village…with a new Tailed Beast that can only be sealed away within a person whose chakra is compatible with its own. The person? Sai.

Chapter 3

Walking towards the village gates, Tsunade looks back at Sai and his mother who both where dead silent, with them, two ANBU and a few other ninjas to act as body guards. Walking up next to her Yamato sighs heavily. She looks up at the man and could see a look of worry on his face. She knew that he was worried over Sai, he had been placed with the responsibility to keep an eye on him since he first joined team seven. He had grown to see the teen as a son, she felt a pang of guilt In her stomach.

"He's strong Yamato. Don't worry." she tries to comfort the man, who then looks down at her.

"Oh, I know hes strong…...physically. but at this age, to take on such a heavy burden, emotionally, even if he was trained to not feel, but even so…" he trials off and looks over at the teen who was now having a conversation with his mother. A small smile on his face as she laughed at something he said. "hes just a kid…can he really take the hate that people will feel towards him?" he asks, the blond haired woman frowns and looks back ahead of herself. The man had a point, accepting Naruto was one thing, accepting Sai, would be a whole different story.

"Perhaps you two aren't giving him enough credit. He has good friends that will look out for him, sure, they'll be there to look out for him. yes, the village won't be happy with the outcome. Yes, they're will heavy backlash at not only him, but you as well Tsunade. But, we just have to make sure that it doesn't get so bad to the point where Sai will grow to hate this place." Kakashi explains, not once looking up from the book he was reading, the other two merely stared at him as he spoke. Everything he was saying was true, even so, the risk was high. What if it didn't work? Even if Sai's mother had ensured that it would, the doubt was still there.

"Sai!" jumping slightly, the said teen looks up and sees Naruto land in front of him. "Where the hell are you going? And who's the lady?" he asks, tilting his head and looking at the woman beside his teammate, suddenly an ANBU was standing in front of them, the blond stares at him.

"I'll have to ask you to leave Naruto Uzumaki." The ANBU states, this causes the blond to look at him with confusion, Sakura then lands next to him.

"What's going on?' she asks, she looks up and frowns a bit. "Why are the ANBU here?" frowning Sai looks away and meets his mother's gaze.

"Perhaps…we should keep going…" he mumbles, the woman nods as he continues to walk, she follows him slowly while looking back at the other two teens for a moment, she then smiles and stops walking, looking right at Naruto.

"Promise me…Kurama, that you'll keep an eye on him for me…" she says simply, causing the blond haired teen to stare at her with confusion and slight shock, how did she know about Kurama? He jumps slightly hearing Kurama sit up.

"H-he says you have his word…" he responds, his tone so full of confusion, smiling she nods and bows before walking back up next to Sai and smiling up at him. Naruto and Sakura watch with confusion as they walk away with the said ANBU, Kakashi, Yamato, and Tsunade to the village gates.

Naruto blinks, what in the hell was that about? Why where they headed to the village gates? And who was that woman who was able to speak with Kurama even though Naruto had never seen that woman once in his life? Why was Sai with them? and why in the hell did he look so…scared? Upset? All these questions with no answers, and he was determined to get to the bottom of things, even if he had to force the response out of them.

"You shouldn't be so quick to let your temper get the better of you, Kit." Kurama sates, causing the teen to startle slightly.

"What?" he asks, the demon huffs.

"That woman, is not an enemy, if anything, she's a friend. A good friend to you and a few other people in the village…. she's even more important to that friend of yours." He explains, yawning a bit and stretching his limbs out. "Would you and Sakura listen to a story I have? It will probably answer a lot of questions you have about what is currently going on. And it could help potentially stop a war or attack." He explains, hearing that, Naruto gets a shocked look and looks at Sakura, he grabs her wrist and he takes off running to the training grounds.

Sai stares up at what appeared to be a temple, it was an odd place to have near the village, he watches as Tsunade makes a few hand signs before placing her hand on the stone, he blinks and watches it rattle then open slowly. He watches as Tsunade walks in along with the ANBU, he remained frozen in his spot, he didn't know why he suddenly felt nervous, this was unusual for him, he noticed how Yamato was giving him a sympathetic stare along with Kakashi who sighs and puts his book away, he walks over and with a soft tone tells the teen's mother to go inside, once she was gone, the man places his hands on the teen's shoulders. Sai looks up at him.

"Deep breathes….in and out slowly. You'll be okay." He explains, the teen stares at him with confusion, what was he talking about? Why was he telling him that? "Sai, I need you to listen to me alright? You need to relax. breath." Nodding slowly, he takes deep, slow breathes. He hadn't even noticed when he had started to hyperventilate, and he didn't even know why either. nodding Kakashi, pets his head gently. "There you go, relax…. we'll be here with you the whole time…." The copy ninja explains as he runs his hand through his hair and slowly removes the teen's headband, the teen's now long bangs fall over his forehead, he looks up at his sensei and gulps, his form shaking a bit.

The white haired man couldn't help but get a sad look, he knew that the teen was feel fear right now, the poor thing couldn't put a name to it, or probably didn't even notice that he was freaking out. The man then walks behind him and gently nudges him forward and leads him into the temple, once inside the teen stops walking once again and steps back until his back was pressed up against Kakashi's chest, frowning the man looks up and could see a large circle with a sealing jutsu painted on the ground. In the middle of the circle was an open spot, probably for him to sit and finish painting the rest of the jutsu on his body. he braces himself feeling Sai try to step back again, he frowns and places his hands on his shoulders again.

"Come on. We don't got all day." One of the ANBU states, Yamato then glares at him. "We don't, and he picked the worse time to get cold fee-"

"Keep talking and see how far that gets you." Yamato warns, Tsunade sighs as she watches them, her eyes then land on Sai who looked like he was about ready to run out of there, good thing the door had closed and she was the only one who could open it. she watches as the teen's mother walks up and holds his hands, whispering something to him, probably words of comfort. She could see him nod slightly, before she smiles and cups his face, and kisses his forehead. She watches as the teen held her wrist that where still cupping his face. "Lady Hokage…. can we really do this to him….?" he asks, staring at the boy with sadness the woman huffs.

"It has to be done…... and even then, he agreed to it…... there is no going back now." she states and watches as the teen's mother leads him to the middle of the room, he sits down, legs crossed and his hands resting on his lap. he looks up seeing Tsunade's feet in front of him. he flinches a bit when she draws a character meaning demon on his forehead then she kneels down and begins to write out the rest of the jutsu on his arms chest and back. "Try to relax… it will be over before you know it…..." she mumbles, feeling his form shake slightly. the teen nods, not saying a word to her. "There, done." She explains, wiping her hands clean before standing up.

Letting out a heavy sigh, he nods slowly as she turns and heads to the door. He was to stay here in this temple until the attack happened. And that could be any day now, frowning he hangs his head low as Tsunade leads his mother out, Yamato walks over and kneels in front of him, the teen meets his gaze. "Yes?"

"Don't worry. we'll be back for you. and when all of this is over, we'll make sure nothing happens to you." with that, he and Kakashi head out, leaving the teen alone with the two ANBU standing outside of th stone doors. He sighs heavily and stares at the ground. This was going to be a long night indeed.

"WHAT!?" Naruto screams causing Sakura to flinch and punch the top of his head, causing him to yelp in pain and fall to the ground. Sitting in front of them was a medium sized Kurama watching as the female ninja punched his vessel. "Ouch! dang, Sakura was that really necessary!?"

"Then don't go yelling like that out of nowhere! Geez…... anyway…. sorry about that Kurama." The Fox nods in understanding, he knew just how annoyingly loud Naruto could get. He watches as the teen rubs his head then looks at him.

"Wait…... okay…. So, that woman was IS his mother?" the fox nods.

"Yes, she goes by the name of Takumi. Their clan name lost ages ago, I can't even remember it." the states, staring at the teen who sighs, he then looks at Sakura. "I can't say as to why he was with her now. but she's always been around in the village. But there is one way to identify them, and that is from they- "

"Painting right?" Naruto cuts in, Sakura glares at him, he then scoots away from her, not wanting to get hit again.

"No. that's just a skill he has. People from his clan can be identified by their voices. They have a unique blood line trait that allows them to 'Tame' any living thing." He says, making air quotes with his tails, this causes the two ninja to look at him with confusion. "Singing. They sing. A particular song. The first half of the lyrics are always the same. But, depending on the person, what they are like, what speaks about themselves, determines the second part of the song. They have to make up the second part." He explains, Sakura then blinks.

"Tame? So, if Takumi where to sing that song…. She could tame you?" she asks, the fox's ears tilt back as he shakes his head. he lays down and yawns. The teens then sit there and let all of the information given to them sink in. who would have known that Sai even came from a clan, and not like he himself knew, after all, he had told them that he was an orphan who was later taken in by Danzo. The fact that by singing some song he was able to tame a beast like Kurama was pretty amazing.

But, if only the first half of the song was always the same, what would happen if they didn't have a second half? What if they used the lyrics of someone else's song? Kurama chuckles lightly, causing the two to look over at the red colored Fox who was now staring at them.

"The song only works if one; they have made their own lyrics for the second part, and two; so long as their heart wills it." he tells them by this point, Naruto looked completely confused. "But, that is about all I know…I don't know why they left the village, I don't know anything about that idiot who thinks he can just come here and threaten everyone." Kurama states, letting out a low growl, Sakura had to agree with him. he knew just about as much as they did about that unknown man.

"But….why was Sai leaving with her….? And do Captain Yamato and Kakashi-sensei know about that guy?" Naruto asks, his tone low, soft but serious, this causes Sakura to frown and look down at her hands, that was true. Did they know something about all of this? She just hoped that Sai would be alright and that Yamato and Kakashi would explain everything to them soon.
