Naruto Uzumaki is not mine, believe it!

A Never Ending Gaki Story

Chapter 3

Naruto fell backwards in panic. The three figures had startled him so much his heart had skipped several beats and he crashed to the ground only able to stare at his awaiting doom. "DAAADDYYY!" he screamed, tears streaming down his dirty cheeks. He waited for the claw like weapons to pierce his skin but it didn't come, instead there came a…

"AWWW!" cooed a muffled women's voice. "We can't hurt a face like that!"

Naruto looked up and saw through tear filled eyes the three figures standing over him, blocking out the sun. The one in the middle had it's hands in front of the two other figures on each side, stopping them from going any further. Up close Naruto found them even more horrifying. They had long black cloaks that where ripped at the bottom and their claw like weapons were even more sharp and blood stained when Naruto saw them at eye level. Also all three of the figures had long black hair with spiky masks that covered their faces. A symbol of a music note was engraved on the mask's forehead. Oh god, those things look like they're going to EAT me! Naruto trembled in fear and the figure in the middle of the trio crouched down to Naruto's level on the ground and reached out both of the claw like hands at him. This is it! Naruto thought and cringed.

The sound ninja picked him up. Naruto was so shocked he barely noticed the other two figures of the ninja trio slap their hands to their faces and shake their heads in a 'Here we go again' kind of way. "Aw, aren't you so cuuute . How old are you? What's your name? Why the heck are you in a place like this?" the woman's voice spoke. And squeezed him closer, rocking him back and forth.

Naruto blinked and blinked again, still in utter shock until the questions finally reached his brain and he noticed what was going on. He pushed the ninja away and jumped back a couple of paces. "Hey, don't call me cute! Eight-year-old boys don't like being called cute, that's a baby thing now stay away!" he stepped back a few paces and swallowed, staring up at the three ninja.

The woman ninja lifted her claw hand to her mask and took it off, receiving yet another shake of the heads from the other two ninja behind her. She had longer hair then it looked when she took the mask off; the front came to her shoulders and the back went down to her to her elbows. She had dark brown eyes and a long scar ran across her right cheek. "Hello Mr. Eight years old, I'm Shio and I'm asking why the heck is a cute widdle thing like you, in an big ugly place like this!" she put her hands on her hips.

"I fell." He stated. Naruto had felt like he'd better answer her, though he didn't want to talk to strangers, and they were sound ninja to! The hidden leaf wasn't on very good terms with the sound village but Naruto didn't have a clue why.

"And where did you fall from exactly?" came a muffled raspy voice making Naruto jump a bit. The voice had come from the ninja on the right of Shio.

"Uh, I fell down a hill over there." He pointed to the tall hill that was at the other end of the canyon.

For some reason, this made the three sound ninja tense up and Shio walked a bit closer. "You mean to say your from the hidden leaf village?" she asked. There was a tinge of urgency in her voice that Naruto didn't like and when Shio noticed this she smiled sweetly, "Of course you don't have to say where your from, we might have just been able to get you home, that's all."

Before Naruto could answer, three kunai came spiraling out of the grass towards the sound ninja. They quickly dashed out of the way and got their claw weapons ready. Suddenly six ANBU members appeared in front of them, their own weapons ready. "Please step aside, we only want the kid."

"Hmph, so that's why you've infested this area, your looking for Mr. Eight years old here." Shio said and looked back at Naruto who was standing behind the group, he seemed interested in something to their right. Quite transfixed actually.

The ANBU inched a bit closer, their weapons still at the ready. "We don't want to fight, we've only come to retrieve the little kid." One of the ANBU stated and they walked alittle closer. Though one of them stood deathly still and tapped the closest ANBU on the shoulder. The ANBU turned to his frozen friend and followed his gaze…

There came a low angry growl. Each and every one of the ninja standing in that area slowly turned their heads to the nine tailed demon fox that's teeth were just inches from everyone's heads.

At some point someone must have mentioned the word run because the next thing Naruto knew everyone was gone and he was tearing through the grass, a giant demon roaring behind him.

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

Shio burst through the tall grass, following her were her companions Gin and Kin. No way was she going to be that fox thing's lunch. Suddenly she thought of the little kid. If the ANBU were sent to bring that kid back to the hidden leaf village, Mr. Eight year old would probably be the son of someone very important, like some high and all mighty clan member or possibly even the Yondaime himself! She came to a halt and grabbed on to her teammate's cloaks as the zoomed by, pulling them back so hard they could have torn through the tough material and kept going. "Hold it!" she hissed. "Get the kid!"

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

Ah crap, I'm fired. The ANBU captain thought as he ran to get away from the chasing demon. He and his troops had just abandoned the son of the highest man in their village. They had just left the eight-year-old in a demon and sound ninja infested canyon. Yep, he sure was fired.

CRUNCH

But he and his ANBU troops never made it back to the village to get fired, ah what a shame…

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

"RAAAAAAAH"

Was all Naruto heard as he tore through the grass as fast as his legs could carry him, suddenly they didn't need to carry him. He had been scooped up by one of the sound ninja and before he could even try to resist he heard Shio speak, I'll wake you up when we get there. Then he was falling into darkness.

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

"Hunny your eyes are blood shot, you need sleep!" Mrs. Uzumaki said as she looked into her husband's tired eyes.

The Yondaime looked to his wife and smiled giddily, "I like grapes." He giggled and got up, walked over to the kitchen and pulled open the fridge.

When Mrs. Uzumaki came into the kitchen she found her husband attempting to shove himself into the fridge. That was the final straw. She marched over to the walking zombie and whacked him over the head. When she was satisfied that he was finally asleep (more like unconscious) she dragged him to bed. As she was shutting the door of the bedroom she heard the Yondaime mumble something in his sleep…

"Your all fired."
