Chapter 3: Pain and a Stupid Plan

Naruto and Yukino both sat with their backs against a tree in training ground 7. Once they had made it back to the gates, there were more people so they decided to take their conversation somewhere more private.

They sat there in silence, both giving each other time to organize their thoughts. It was then that Naruto decided to begin what would be a very life changing conversation for the both of them.

"So why do the villagers look at you with hatred?" Asked Naruto. He had to leave later that day so might as well begun their conversation.

Yukino took another moment to organize her past and then begun. "Well it all started with the day I was born. I come from a very important clan in Konoha. The Yukinoshita clan has a very special kekkei genkai. Those from the Yukinoshita clan posses the power of golden flames. These golden flames are said to have power equal to the Amaterasu flames once mastered."

"Wow, that sounds like an amazing ability. Why do people hate you then? They should be worshipping you, right?" asked Naruto with a very confused expression. If the village worshipped the Uchiha and Hyuuga clans, why was Yukino hate?

Yukino looked at Naruto and smiled sadly. "It's because I didn't inherit the golden flames. Instead I was born with the ability of demonic flames. That's why everyone in the village looks at me with hatred. They think I only bring misfortune…"

Naruto was seething at what the villagers did to Yukino. It was the same thing that they had done to him. They hated her for something out of her control. Something that she had no voice in. She didn't choose to be like this. How could they condemn her to hell on Earth like this?

"What about your parents? Surely they helped you right?" Asked Naruto. But one look in her eyes and he new he would hate the answer. He had never been so disgusted at someone as he was at the moment.

Yukino looked at Naruto in the eyes and he could see tears gathering. "That's the worst part," she began." They hate me just as much as the village. They think of me as nothing but a mistake." And two tear streaks went down her face.

Naruto's blood was boiling in anger. All of the pain she had repressed for so many years had finally come out. The dam she built for herself had broken and now all the pain could be seen. He wrapped his arms around her and gave her a shoulder to cry on. The old man was there when he needed a shoulder to cry in as a kid. Now it was his turn to give someone else that luxury.

She laid her head on his shoulder and let all her tears stain his jacket. Her sobs could be heard all over the clearing. Once she had calmed down enough that she could talk. She continued her story without moving away from the embrace.

"They always scolded me for not obtaining the golden flames. They called me a cursed child that needed to disappear. And they always compared me to my older sister…" said Yukino.

Her older sister, Haruno Yukinoshita…

While she was known as the worthless trash in the clan, her older sister Haruno was known as the prodigy of the clan. She possessed the strongest affinity to the golden flames to ever appear in a Yukinoshita. She had even taken the kekkei genkai to a whole other level when she learned to control it at will, not needing any hand-signs to summon the flames.

Yukino looked up to her sister when she was younger but later grew to hate her. Well she didn't hate her, but she hated everything she had. Haruno had the praise and love of their parents and the ability to use the golden flames. She was everything that Yukino was denied. She was perfect in her eyes…

"You shouldn't care about what other people think Yukino. The only thing that matters is that those who care about you know the real you," said Naruto. From what he'd heard, Yukino's life was as bad as his. Sure, he didn't have parents or anyone to take care of him but he found that better then to have your own parents hate you. They had both been given the short stick from life but that made them strong. And he was going to make her see that.

Yukino looked up into Naruto's eyes and said, "But there's no one that cares about me. I have no friends and my family hates me."

That shocked Naruto. He once felt like that to. He felt alone in the world. But then he met Iruka-sensei and later on team 7. From then it was all going great until the Sasuke retrieval mission. But he still had his friends and his sensei's. But Yukino never had anyone. Not a single friend who cared…

That was something he needed to change.

Naruto looked directly into Yukino's eyes with so much determination. He hadn't felt this determined since his fight with Gaara. "Then I'll be your friend," he spoke. "I'll be there for you when no one else is!"

Yukino's eyes widened when she heard that statement. How long had she waited for someone that was willing to become her friend? It felt like centuries but in reality it had only been 13 years. Ever since she had been born.

Naruto knew that stating that wouldn't be enough to make her believe it. So he would tell her what none of his friends knew about him. "Now it's my turn to tell you my secret. Do you remember how they taught us in the academy that the Yondaime killed the kyuubi?" Asked Naruto.

Yukino gained a confused expression. What did the kyuubi'a death have to do with any of this? "Yes I remember." She answered him.

Naruto continued, "Well that was a lie. The Kyuubi is a mass amount of chakra with a conscious and can't be killed. So the Yondaime used a fuinjutsu to seal it inside a newborn baby. And that baby was me."

Yukino couldn't believe it. One of the villages most iconic moments was a lie. Well not all of it but most of it.

"Most of the older generation knew of this and there hate began. They only thought of me as the demon that killed many of their loved ones. But it was quite the opposite. I was the container that kept them all alive. Without me, they would all be dead," finished Naruto.

"But why wasn't I aware of this?" Asked Yukino with confusion. She should've known about him or at least heard of him before.

Naruto gained a sad smile and said, "Its because the Sandaime made a law that prohibited any of the old generation to speak of my status as a jinchuuriki. He had hoped that it would give me a chance at a normal life but the hatred the older generation had for me was passed onto the new generation."

They really were the same. Both were nothing but scape goats for the villagers hatred. But now they would become strong because of that hatred. Together…

"Hey I have a great idea!" Naruto exclaimed with his foxy smile. "I'm leaving the village on a training trip today."

That made Yukino's heart stop. Her first friend was going to leave only minutes after they even became friends! She was going to be alone for who knows how long.

Seeing the sadness in her eyes, Naruto told her the rest of his plan. "Why don't you come with me? You say no one cares about you in the village anyway, right? No one will notice that your gone."

That threw her for another loop. Leave with him? Her parents wouldn't allow that. Even if they didn't care for her, they did enjoy making her suffer. "I can't Naruto. My parents wouldn't let me."

A grin appeared on his face. It was the same grin that he used when he was pranking or planning something devious. "They don't have to know."

Yukino was about to go with his plan but then remembered. "But I would have to go get my clothes and that would cause suspicion."

Naruto thought about it for a while and then remembered. "Don't worry about that. I was planning on going clothes shopping once we made it out of the village."

Yukino stared at him for a short time before making her decision. His plan was so stupid and crazy that it might actually work. "Alright then, let's go," she said with the first true smile to appear on her face for a long time.

Chapter End

So it's come to my attention that the way this whole series of stories I have planned was going to end badly if I didn't change something. So I did. Now the way I'm taking this series is crazy. Probably the craziest thing I've seen for a fanfiction series in a while. But no spoilers. Anyway I'm gonna ask something huge here. Ready? Ok. If anyone out there wants to help me write this story just leave a review or pm me. The story will continue regardless but I would appreciate someone to write it with me.

Anyway, if anyone is interested in beta reading this story leave a review or pm me. Now onto questions.
