A Double Life

By Divinesent

This story started out with Naruto POV and is going into 3rd Person. Don't like it? Too bad. Only one person has any say in the outline of this story, and he says to do what I want to.

I Do Not Own Naruto or anything copyrighted I mention

"Talking"

(Thought)

"Demon Talking"

(Demon Thinking)

---Flashback---

(A/N)

After a quick thanks to ChaosDriver for the story, we may begin….

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Na…"

"Naruto………."

Naruto stirred, the emotionless voice he had come to know all these years clearly distinguishable bouncing off the cave walls.

"Naruto, wake up!"

Still Naruto only stirred, Gaara easily became annoyed with his brother's actions.

----------------------------------------------Flashback-------------------------------------------------

"Gaara lets stop here for tonight"

"Why?" "I know you are capable of longer travel than this Naruto"

"Because… its peaceful here…"

--------------------------------------------End Flashback----------------------------------------------

Even after three years of using this cave as a base camp, he couldn't help but feel foreign in its gentle atmosphere. Reaching out with his sand he picks up Naruto without waking him, easily cradling him. Suddenly he channels his chakra in to the sand forcing it left, throwing him against the cave wall.

Naruto never seemed to get use to the fact that he usually woke by this method,

Though he no longer woke up angry, it still irked him.

"Gaara!"

Naruto's antics had always amused Gaara on some level, even through despair it seem to warm him a little.

"Nani?"

Naruto signs, he knew there was no reason to fight with Gaara, after all before Sand fell he was known as 'The Log' for his ability to sleep through even the worst sandstorms.

"Never mind, what's for breakfast today?"

"Not Ramen if that's what your thinking"

"No, not ramen, we had it yesterday morning" "Maybe some eggs?"

"Where are we going to get those?"

Gaara had a very good point; they had already eaten all the local bird eggs, and well the birds themselves too.

(Hum… maybe we should risk a trip into town for some supplies)

"You know Kit, we should be going back sometime soon, the longer the wait the harder it will be on you two."

(I know, but we need to plan ahead, not jump into the past and possibly mess up)

Gaara walked to the cave mouth keeping his eyes focused for anything out of the ordinary, unlike most he never seemed to let down his guard. Even over the three years of seemingly peaceful planning.

"Naruto… I sense Itachi near by, and he seems to have what's left of Akatsuki with him…"

"It seems we are going to have to leave, right now…"

(Do you and Kyuubi have everything ready for us to leave?)

"I believe so, but we can talk with Naruto and Kyuubi-san to confirm"

"Naruto, are you and the Kyuubi ready for our trip?"

After a short nod from Naruto both men, forged as brothers by time and their pasts, hugged. Even though this feeling still was unnatural to Gaara, he welcomed it still.

Their trip to the past would land them in different places, one in Sand, the other in Leaf.

Saying the last good byes both men summon their vast demonic/human chakra.

Right as Itachi burst into the clearing, a blinding light emitted from the cave, shooting out into the dark of the dawn. With the light can two screams, easily distinguishable as Jutsu. The blinding light faded, and in its place was nothing, no cave, no trees… just a giant crater. Itachi and his group halted, it seems they just lost their prey…
