Just to those flamers, yes I changed the kind of animals the Bijuu are.

If you don't like it, leave.

Oh and I don't own Naruto. (Sigh)

Living Legend chapter 3: In Pursuit

Last Chapter

Smiling and shaking his head slightly, Syoran started walking with Naruto right behind

In the village of Konoha, many great shinobi have been born and raised. The most famous are the three legendary sannin and the Yondaime Hokage. Unfortunately, many had either ran away or gone crazy. At this time there was one of them skipping along the road…

"HE WHAT!" yelled Kakashi.

"KOW DARE HE!" screamed Sasuke (AN: Sasuke was saved from Orochimaru and now Orochimaru is dead. All of the rookie 9 and Guy's team are chunnin or jounin.)

The rookie 9 and Gai's team had been called to the Hokage's office and informed about Naruto. It was good that they had a cool, calm leader to stop their outrage. (side note: rookie 9 are 16 while Guy's team is 17)

"SHUT THE HELL UP!"Tsunade bellowed. And shut up they did. However, someone had not spoken.

Iruka stood in silence staring blankly at a wall. While the teenagers were still murmuring amongst themselves, only Jiraiya, Tsunade, and the senseis noticed Iruka's silence.

"Iruka…are you all right?" asked Tsunade with a soft expression.

Iruka replied with two words.

"Let's go."

WITH NARUTO and SYORAN

"Ok, we're here," said Syoran. They were in a clearing with 9 people, 3 of which were…

"GAARA!" screamed Naruto. Gaara sighed. "Hello Naruto. You don't have to scream you know."

Ignoring the comment Naruto continued, "Kankuro! And…What's your name again?"Naruto asked with a fishlike expression.

Kankuro sniggered while Temari proceeded to berate Naruto for not remembering her.

"Hi!" interrupted a blonde girl who had a strangely large chest. "I'm Ana!" "Naruto, I should explain. Here we have all the Jinchuuriki," said Syoran. Naruto's jaw dropped. "WHAT!?" yelled Naruto. "Shut up." replied Syoran, "Everyone! Introduce yourselves! Say your names likes and dislikes, and your dreams if you want. And add anything that makes you unique"

Gaara stepped up. (Gaara looks the same as he does after the time skip) "Sabaku no Gaara. I am the container of the Ichibi no Tanuki (one-tailed raccoon). Likes: none, dislikes: many, and my dream is to protect those close to me with my own power." At his words Temari and Kankuro had expressions of happiness and pride.

The girl who had interrupted earlier stood up. She was about 5'5 with a good figure, brown hair, and a face with soft features. She had a small seal in the shape of a falcon on her right shoulder reaching down her arm. She then began to speak.

"I'm Takamaru Ana. My likes are training and friends who I can trust. I dislike those who hate others without just cause. My dream is to grow strong, and help those who are weak. And this is my partner, Nibi no taka (two-tailed falcon)."Naruto jumped as a falcon the size of a large dos appeared in a flash of yellow chakra.

"Calm down Naruto." Syoran said calmly. "That is a special technique I have taught the Jinchuuriki, and that I will teach you too."At this, Naruto got an excited look, but was silent at Gaara's glare.

As Ana sat down, a bald slightly big boy, who was around 5'9 with a friendly expression stood up. "My name's Shiron, no last name, and I am the container of the Sanbi no buta (three-tailed pig). I like eating and friends. I dislike liars and cheaters. My dream is to own my own restraint some day." (Hey, they can't all be heroes to the people.)

Afterwards, a boy as tall as Shiron, but a bit skinnier and had green hair sat up. "I am Kuraitoru Hiro. My bijuu is the Yonbi no hebi (Four-tailed Sanke). My likes are resting, sleeping, and eating. My dislikes are people who disturb the things I like. My drea, which is almost impossible now is to live a normal life."

Next to Hiro, a girl with the same features, except for longer hair and softer features stood up. "My name is Kuraitoru Kira, Jinchuuriki of the Gobi no sakuna (five-tailed fish), and as Hiro forgot to mention, we are twins. I like to organize things, keep things effective, and to always stay efficient. I dislike lazy people," at this she glared at Hiro, "and people who are misjudging. I dream to one day live as a librarian."

Next a short boy with purple hair, almost scaly skin, and a prankster's grin stood up. "Hey, I'm Hachuu Toji, container of the Rokubi no eki (six-tailed lizard), and I like pranks and my friends! I dislike few things other than people who reject others without a second chance. I dream to one day be famous for my pranks."

Next a beautiful girl with black hair and dark eyes stood at her height of 5'6. "My name is Ookami Kira, and my bijuu is the famed Nanabi no urufu (seven-tailed wolf). I like many things, and dislike just as much. I dream to one day fulfill my purpose in life, whatever it may be."

Lastly Syoran stood up. "We are all the same, disliked and shamed in our villages, and chased out physically or emotionally. Now we must stand as 1, as the Jinchuuriki. Plus, those two." Syoran finished pointing at a fuming Temari and Kankuro.

Naruto stood shocked. Here were people like him, and not only being shunned and being Jinchuuriki. They were all unique and very possibly, friends.

As Naruto stood up shakily, and was about to speak, Syoran raised his hand.

With a grimace he said, "we've waited too long. They're here."
