wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

"Land!" Kagome shouted, jumping off the boat as they landed.

"So, this is 'Fire Country', right?" Sango inquired.

"Yes and Konoha is close, let's head out!" Feto exclaimed, "To Konohagakure!"

"A name that really rolls off the tongue!" Shippo said, not wanting to be left out.

A few miles east…

Another boat was landing, and out stepped a woman with fans. Any Inuyasha fan would recognize her as Kagura.

"So this is the Outer Continent…" She mused, "So fragile…so vulnerable…too peaceful!" She looked up to the boat, "Lord Naraku! Why do we want to come here, again?"

"Because…" A voice from the boat said, "There are a powerful demon and 3 jewel shards here."

"Oh, right." Kagura replied, "But we need to know our way around…"

"Not a problem." Naraku responded, "Seek out the one we've heard so much about…Orochimaru!"

A few hours later…

They stood before the gates of Konoha, as Mora and Feto stood before them.

"Now, there are a few rules around here…" Mora explained, "But the only one we need to tell you about is…do not mention the Kyuubi! When talking about it, use the word Naruto. Mentioning the Kyuubi is punishable by law!"

"Strict." Inuyasha said, "Now let's find it quick."

The minute they stepped inside, though, they were immediately distracted.

"Exotic food, TV, new stuff to see!" Shippo yelled excitedly, "Can we sightsee for a bit! I'll hide my tail! Please?"

"It couldn't hurt…" Kagome said, "What do you think, guys?"

Everyone except Inuyasha agreed, but he was outvoted.

A little later, at Ichariku's…

"So…this 'Ramen'…it's tasty?" Miroku asked.

"You bet! I had it at Kagome's once and it was delicious!" Inuyasha told him, after ordering 5 miso ramens, one for each of them.

Unbeknownst to them, their intended target was sitting next to Inuyasha. Seeing a fellow ramen-lover, Naruto induced a challenge.

"So, you like ramen, too?" He said to Inuyasha, "I bet I can eat more Ramen than you…Hey! You have dog ears!" He exclaimed, pulling on them.

"Hey! Cut that out you brat! I'm an Outsider, for your information!" Inuyasha yelled, "Now, back to that challenge, you're on!"

"Loser pays for the ramen!" Naruto said in his usual obnoxious voice, fascinated with a challenge from a "Super-Foreigner".

Now, needless to say, Naruto was the bigger ramen-lover, having eaten at least 3 servings each meal for his whole life. Kagome had to clean out the moneybag to pay the bill.

"He…he's not human!" Shippo exclaimed, "He's a force of nature…of gluttony!"

"Hey!" Naruto exclaimed, "I'm not gluttonous! I'm just really hungry!"

"Well, let me just say, if your parents knew what you were doing…" Sango started to say, but stopped at the look Naruto gave her, "You…don't have parents, do you?"

"No, and I never did! So don't ask!"

"Who takes care of you, than?"

"Three people…Me, myself and I!" The conversation ended there.

"Judging from that headband, you're a ninja." Miroku observed.

"Well…anyway…good stomach!" Said a very full Inuyasha, "What's your name?"

Naruto gave his foxy grin, and gave his usual response. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto! Remember it!"

The group went silent. It registered that their target had been found.

Naruto noticed as their looks changed from casual to pure loathing, and sensed a bad event approaching.

"You!" Inuyasha yelled, grabbing Naruto.

He then ran out of the building, and jumped clear out of the village! His friends following.

"Real subtle…" Kagome whispered as they approached the clearing where Inuyasha was.

"Hey! What's the big idea?" Naruto yelled, "Why did you kidnap me?"

"Because I know what you are, Kyuubi!" Inuyasha yelled, Naruto was stunned…"I came here to kill you! I was hired by two people out of your influence!"

"Influence?" Naruto was still stunned, but it looked like another struggle for his life. Of course, this would be the first non-ninja he ever faced.

"We're here to free these people from you, vile demon!" Miroku yelled.

"You killed all those people, and then attempt to be Hokage! You don't deserve to live!" Sango yelled.

"Look, the Kyuubi is just sealed within me!"

"That's what you've told everyone!" Kagome yelled at him.

"Enough talk! Let's kill it!" Inuyasha charged forward and Naruto, seeing no other way out, did likewise.

In the village, there was one witness to see Naruto get taken away. It was Rock Lee.

"Oh my God! I've got to tell the others!" He yelled as he ran off.
