"wow…"

Naruto managed that single word, when he first looked at his sword, or should I say swords. The sword of the previous Demon of the Mist Had split in two straight down the middle. They had also turned pitch Black, and had the image of a blue flame running up the side of both blades.

"Damn, Naruto. That was… well… cool…" Lee said, looking at the swords Naruto was now inspecting closely with his eyes. Lee leaned in closer to get a better look when…

"I do agree with you boy, that is a nice sword!" Said a voice from behind them. Turning around, they saw two squads of Missing-Nin looking at them. But that was not what worried them. Leading the ANBU, was none other than Itachi and Kisame. This was bad…really bad.

Naruto jumped up, and through two smoke bombs, even though he knew they wouldn't work. Turning to lee, he looked at him with hard eyes, and said one thing.

"GO!!"

Lee nodded in replied, and turned to leave, barley dogging past the missing Nin at the front of the cave. Naruto knew he was out classed, but that wouldn't stop him from trying. Grabbing his swords, he charged the group of Missing-nin at incredible speeds, swinging at the first one, who was a lower ranking one, and cut him cleanly in half.

Naruto didn't even realize it was his first kill. He was too preoccupied with the fight to care. Charging them again, he cut down two more, before he felt a sharp pain on the back of his neck, then he saw only darkness, but not before he heard two words.

"Brats good."

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

Naruto groaned, looking up, and opening his eyes. That was his first mistake, as pain flooded to his head. Blinking several time's, he soon regained his eye sight, and looked around at his surroundings. He noticed he was shirtless, and had very thin pants on. Turning back to his surroundings he inspected the room he was in.

It was a plain white cell, and a single door in one corner. He was chained to the wall, with what he noted where exceptionally strong chakra chains. After about a minute of struggling, he gave up, knowing it was pointless. Looking around, he noticed the door open, and in walked a missing Nin he had never seen before. When the Nin noticed he was awake, he grinned at the chained boy, and walked up to him.

"Well well well, look who's awake. I got good news and really bad news. What do you want to hear first?" The Nin asked, looking at Naruto. Naruto stared back, and scowled at the Nin, who just grinned his toothy grin again.

"Fine I will start with the good news first. For you, the good news is that you have merged with your demon so well that we can't extract it. This pissed leader of fairly well. So he came up with another thing, and he is giving you a choice." The Nin said, looking at the chained boy.

"Oh really, well then, what are the choice's?" Naruto asked the Nin, not hiding the sarcasm in his voice. The Nin smirked at him, before speaking again.

"You can join us, and gain power beyond your imagination, or…" The Nin said, but was cut off when Naruto roared, and spit in the Ninja's face. The Ninja just wiped it away, before looking at Naruto again.

"I WILL NEVER HELP YOU HEARTLESS BASTARDS!!" Naruto yelled at the Nin, who just sighed, and turned around, before turning back, glove's now on his hands.

"Well then you take choice two, which is, I… 'Persuade'…you to join us. I personally was hoping that you would pick the second one. It is much more fun, for me." The Nin said, before rushing forward, and punching Naruto hard in the gut. Naruto coughed up blood, then looked at the Nin, and said 4 words.

"That all you got?"

The Nin smirked in replied, before turning around, and picking something up. When he turned back around, he was holding something in his hands. Something long, leathery, and barbed, with a black like liquid running down the barbs.

"Hardly, this whip was made just for you. The poison on the barb will make you fell that you are burning up from the inside out, but thanks to Kyuubi it wont kill you. I am sure you will enjoy it." The Nin said, cackling evilly, before whipping Naruto across the chest, electing a Scream from the boy.

Then he did it again, and again, and again. It went on like this till Naruto's chest was nothing put raw skin, dripping with blood. Naruto kept on screaming, the pain of the poison's was killing him, it hurt so bad, and he knew with the amount in him, it would take even Kyuubi a while to get rid of it all.

The Nin, seeing the boy screaming out, grinned, and walked up to the boy, before looking at his pain-ridden face. Leaning down he whispered into his ear.

"I will ask again, will you join us. Just say yes and this will all stop." The Nin said. Naruto looked up at him, and spit at him in the face again. This time, it was a bunch of blood instead of saliva. It splattered the Ninja's face.

"GO TO HELL YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!" Naruto yelled. The Nin growled out angrily, before steeping back, and flicking the whip again, this time cutting right across Naruto's left eye, cutting it up. Naruto screamed in pain, as blood flowed from his now disabled eye.

Out of his other eye, he could see his tormentor leavening the room. But before he left, he turned back to Naruto, and grinned, before saying something to Naruto.

"Oh by the way, because of the poison in the whips barb's, the wounds will leave permanent scares. Just to let you know, well goodnight, see you in the morning." The Nin said, cackling evilly, before turning and leavening Naruto screaming in pain, for two hours, before he passed out because of the pain.

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

Naruto awoke in his mindscape, and realized quickly he needed to talk to the fuzz ball. Running towards the cage, he realized that all the physical pain he had felt during his 'session' he could fell a bit of it in his mind as well, but not half as much.

Arriving at the cage, he looked up to see a worried Kyuubi, which scared him as well, as Kyuubi was never worried.

"Kyuubi, can you get rid of the scare's?" Naruto asked. Kyuubi looked down at his young vessel, and at that moment, felt a stab of sorrow.

"No, what that Nin said was true, I can repair the damage, but the poison is preventing me to get rid of the scare's. But good news is that I can repair your eye, so it will still be useable in the future" Kyuubi replied, to which Naruto fell to his knees, and looked at the ground. He hoped Lee would come for him soon, if at all. He didn't know if he could take this much longer.

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

Naruto awoke to a burning feeling on his right for arm, causing him to scream out in pain... Looking down, he saw a bluish liquid running over his arm. It was a kind of acid, and it was burning off his flesh. Naruto screamed in pain, and just barely heard the Nin who was with him yesterday say something.

"Lets get started."

A Month Later

The boy lay there, chained to the wall, his skin cover in scare's, no part of his body had been missed in the intense torture he had gone through over the past month. He had been whipped, stabbed, put through mental trauma time and time again, dunked in acid, and many other things.

Now Naruto just lay there, slack against the chains. He had to give up every thing that had made him human in order to survive what he had been put through. His eye's now were just cold and lifeless, no emotion left in them, except pain and sorrow… hate and anger… fear and despair.

Hearing the door open, Naruto looked up to see a new ninja come in. When the Ninja stepped into the light, Naruto's eyes widened slightly in surprise, which was the first emotion he had felt in a while.

It was Lee.

"Oh my god…" Were the words that came out of Lee's mouth when he saw the shape Naruto was in, and he almost vomited at the sight of his best friend.

"Fuck, Naruto hold on, we are here to get you out." Lee said, Unchaining Naruto from the wall. Naruto looked at him in confusion, before whispering something.

"We?"

"Long story, I'll tell you everything that has happened since you were captured. My friends are getting your things as we speak. Just hold on." Lee replied to the blonde boy.

"Thank you." Was all Naruto said before he past out. Lee grinned and ran out of the area. He was to meet his friends in a town not to far from here, were they would meet up before running off out of the country.

"Just hold on…"

5 hours later: Village

Lee burst into the door of the inn, still caring his hurt friend in his arms. He looked around and saw he was the last one to arrive. There were 3 other's in the room, Two girls and one boy.

One of the girls was a long, red haired girl about the same age as Naruto. She had deep, stormy blue eyes, and was about Naruto's height. She wore a black trench coat that was closed so all that you could see was the trench coat, and her head. On her back, was what appeared to be an enlarged katana, thicker and larger than most, stuck firmly in the sheath. (A/N: Think Ichigo's Sword from Bleach, it looks like that.)

The other girl was Black haired, pulled into a ponytail that went down her back, Green eye's, and wasn't much taller than Naruto. She also wore a black trench coat, closed. On her back was a staff, with crescent moon like blades on each end of the staff.

The boy in the room was the tallest one there, Brown, short hair, and Brown eye's. He also wore a black clock, covering his body. On his back, was what appeared to be a rather large staff, with a sickle at both ends of it.

Upon hearing someone come storming into the room, they all reached for their weapons, but stopped upon seeing Lee, and he was holding a Boy in his arms. The boy's body was obstructed from there view, but they got the felling he was injured. That theory was confirmed when Lee yelled out to the red hair girl.

Lee looked at the red haired girl, who was staring at him in shock. Running over to the bed, he laid Naruto down on it, before turning back to the red haired girl.

"Please, you have to help him, he is going to die if you don't!!" Lee screamed at her. She nodded, and bent down next to Naruto, before moving a hand over his most critical wounds, and forming a blue light around her hands.

She was like this for five minutes, moving her hand above his most critical wounds, before she sighed, and turned back to Lee.

"He will be okay, but the scare's on his body will never fade, and I can't do anything about it. Sorry Lee." The girl said. Lee smiled at her, before looking back at Naruto.

"It's Okay, Ryuu, I'm just glad he is okay." Lee replied, looking at Ryuu, and grinning. Turning to the others, he got two nods from them, indicating that they were safe here for a while. Sighing, he scratched the back of his head, then left the room, followed by the other two unnamed Nin, leavening Ryuu behind with Naruto.

"So this is the Naruto we have heard so much about… huh, he's kind cute." Ryuu said to herself, before blushing, and turning around to leave the room. Naruto wasn't expected to get up for another two day's.

Two Days Later

Naruto groaned, and opened his eyes slowly, before sitting up. That was a mistake, as he felt an intense pain on his stomach. Crying out in pain, he lay back down, and looked at the ceiling. He was like that till he heard the door to the room he was in open. Turning his head, he saw two people. Lee and another red haired girl he had never seen before.

"Naruto!! Your awake!!" Lee exclaimed, running over to Naruto, before looking him in the eyes. Grinning, he looked Naruto up and down, before saying six words.

"Damn man, you look like shit!"

This caused Naruto to smile a bit. Even if he was drained of almost all of his emotions during his torture, he still had a bit of humanity left in him. Turning his head to the person next to Lee, he looked her in the eyes.

"Who is she?" Naruto asked Lee. Lee looked at Ryuu, before turning back to Naruto.

"That's Ryuu, she was the one who saved your life, you should be thankful to her Naruto." Lee said. Naruto looked back at Ryuu, before smiling a bit, and then attempted to sit up. Both Ryuu and Lee jumped in surprise, moving forward to push him back down, but stopped when he glared at them.

"I'm fine now, thanks to you, Fur ball didn't have to help heal me till now, I should be able to walk." Naruto said, standing up, wincing at the pain. Both Ryuu and Lee looked at him; Before Lee nodded, and turned around. Grabbing something, he turned back to his fellow Missing-Nin and put it on the bed.

"Here is everything we could get back from them. Sorry, we couldn't find the contacts, but we got everything else, even your swords." Lee said, laying Naruto's cloths on the bed. Naruto nodded, and stood up. Lee turned and left the room, leavening just Ryuu and Naruto in the room.

Naruto went over to his cloths, and removed the clock he had been wearing when he slept. Looking down, he examined what his body now looked like. He knew the scars would always be there, so he wanted to see the damage.

He had scares crisscrossing his body, a bare red colored patch of skin covered his right shoulder and left forearm that was from where that Bastard had poured the acid on him. He was about to continue his observations when a voice broke him out of his thoughts.

"What…what did they do to you in there? When Lee came back holding you, you looked so bad, covered in scares, and your entire shoulder was dripping blood, there was no skin. What did they do?" Ryuu asked, her voice soft, full of concern. Naruto turned to look at her, before turning back, and putting on his cloths. Ryuu was about to leave when Naruto spoke.

"They whipped me, poured acid on me, many other things, but I lived through it all, and I will get them. I swear it, I will get those bastard's." Naruto said, strapping his sword on his back, and turned to leave the room, but stopped next to the girl who had saved his life.

"Thank you." Was all Naruto said, before walking out of the room, leaving Ryuu to her thoughts. He walked down the hall; towards the room he could hear Lee's voice coming out of. Turning at the door, he opened it, and looked at the faces of the people in the room, before saying one thing.

"Sup."

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

Ryuu was confused. Three weeks ago, she didn't even know how hard a life as a Ninja could be, Three weeks ago, she had just been the Shinobi of the Village hidden in the tree's, a very small village, and was training to be a medic.

Then, she had received a mission to help a Missing-Nin rescue his friend from a group of high ranked missing-Nin. Sure she was a Jounin, but still, she wasn't sure then that she was ready for this mission, but had taken it anyway.

It had gone smoothly, and the enemy didn't even know they were there. Then, when they were at the hotel, the boy named Lee burst into the room, holding what appeared to her as road kill. She was shocked when she found out it was the Missing-Nin they were supposed to rescue.

She had never seen the affects of torture before then, so it shocked her, as did the Ninja who was there target. She had expected a much larger man, who was a symbol of strength, a symbol of power. She was not expecting this boy, who was about her age. Sure, she knew that some one that age could be insanely strong, for example that Lee kid, but this boy looked like he couldn't hurt a fly.

Now she was standing in a room, confused over this, this boy. He might have looked weak, but the second he had said anything to her, his voice was cold, and emotionless, as were his eyes. He had been put through hell, and had beaten it. But it left him scared, and hurt.

Turning, she left the room, and went down the hall, to the other room. Opening the door, she found everyone but that boy who was plaguing her thoughts.

"Where is your friend?" She asked Lee. He sighed, and looked at the ground, before looking back up at her.

"He said he was going to go get something. That was all he said, before he left, now I don't know where he is, or if he is coming bac…" Lee was saying, but was cut of when an explosion rocked the building. Looking out the window in the room, he saw two figures down the street, both with black clocks with red clouds. Jumping up, he looked at his companions.

"There here, they followed us." Lee said, running out of the room. The others followed him, out the room, and out the hotel. Running towards the two S-class Missing-Nin, what they saw when they got there, shocked them.

Standing there was Itachi, With a Katana. But that wasn't what shocked them. Itachi was holding the Katana, after having thrust it through Naruto's stomach. Pulling it out, Itachi whipped it back, clearing it of all of Naruto's blood.

Naruto dropped to his knees, gasping and holding the wound, before looking up at Itachi, who just smirked back. Itachi turned around, to face Lee and the others. Lee growled, dropped his weights, and charged, only to get smacked into a building by Itachi.

Ryuu and the other's stared in shock, before joining the fight, only to get beaten down. Naruto watched on hopelessly, he couldn't do anything, he couldn't help them, and he couldn't…

'Get up.'

Naruto heard a voice in his head. It wasn't Kyuubi; it was not dark enough to be Kyuubi. It was slightly more mature, but also something Naruto recognized from somewhere.

'Get up off your feet, help your friends.'

'I cant, I'm to wounded to help them.' Naruto replied. His friend where getting there ass's kicked, and he couldn't do anything to help them.

'And that's stopping you. Pathetic, what happened to the blonde boy that would sacrifice himself to help his friend, huh. Your just a weakling.' The voice said. Naruto felt a pulse on his back, a pulse from his swords.

'Now get up and help your friend. Get up and fight, or are you a pathetic weakling?'

'Who are you?'

'You think you are good enough to know my name? You are a weakling, a nobody, you wont even get up to help your friends.'

'That's not true, I want to help them. But I…'

'You cant, or you wont. If you want to know my name, help them.'

'I…I will help them.'

Around Naruto, a silver chakra had started to gather, swirling around his body. Itachi stopped, and looked at the boy who he had stabbed. The boy was gathering an insane amount of chakra, and it was still going up.

'Yes, go help them. Help your friends.'

'I will help them, I will help them.'

'Yes, save them. Go, help them, go.'

'I will, and one thing, what is your name?'

'My name is…'

"SHADOW REAPER!!" Naruto screamed out, standing up. There was a flash and everyone present shielded his or her eyes.

When the light faded, everyone turned to look at Naruto, who had moved to the top of a house to the right. Lee said two words when he saw his best friend.

"Holy Shit!"

There was Naruto, squatting down, looking at them. He had his two swords in his hand, had one a pitch-black trench coat with the hood up. Strands of his blonde hair could be seen from under the hood. But what shocked them most was what covered his face.

It looked like a mask made of bone, but the bone was black, the eyeholes were white, showing Naruto's eyes underneath, said eye's were now stormy light blue. The mask had an Insane like grin on it in white, making the mask look dark and evil. The nose was pointed, and on the forehead of the mask was the mark for 'Shadow Reaper'.

Naruto stood up to full length, still on top of the house. His Glove's bnow had the same bone like armor on them, but this armor was white, and the way it was laid out made it look like it was a skeleton arm.

"Ha…ha…hahahah….AHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Naruto suddenly laughed into the air. Still chuckling he looked down at his two opponents, Itachi and Kisame. Jumping down of the house, he leaned back a bit, and looked at them, before speaking.

"Well well, what have we here, hum? Two children who lost there way, well, how about we play a little game? Yes yes yes, a game, Hehehe, that sounds FUN!!" Naruto said, his voice dark, full of malice, but in a childish tone, making it sound like he thought life was just a game.

"Children!? I will show you CHILDREN!!" Kisame roared, charging forward at Naruto. Unsheathing his sword, Kisame swung down at Naruto at incredible speeds. Naruto had yet to move.

BOOM!!

Dust rose up from where Naruto stood. The ground cracked under Kisame's Chakra eating sword. Kisame looked up from the ground, and smirked. That smirk died when he heard Naruto's voice.

"Now that's not very nice, not nice at all. I didn't say go yet. You broke the rules, so now you must be…Hehehe… punished." Naruto said. Everyone looked around to try and find Naruto. Kisame lifted his sword back into a defensive position, before looking around, peering through the dust. He could hear Naruto's Laugh through the dust, and when it cleared he saw nothing.

"What's wrong, who you looking for? Hehehe." Naruto said, and everyone looked at where he or she heard the voice, and all where shocked at what they saw.

There stood Naruto, Standing on top of Kisame's sword, crouched and looking at Kisame. Kisame gasped, and jumped back, allowing Naruto to jump off the sword, back flipping in a very acrobatic way. Landing on the ground, Naruto bowed, and then looked up, cackling evilly.

"Hehehehehe, this is a fun game, don't you think so. Oh that's right you need to be punished… hehehehehe…!" Naruto said, before disappearing. Kisame looked around, trying to locate this Blonde Haired clown. Suddenly he felt a pain in his stomach. He was pushed up into the air by the force of the blow, about two feet up.

"Hehehehehe, this is your punishment, Hehehe." Naruto said, cackling evilly again. He continued to his Kisame into the air, raising him up into the air a bit more after each hit. Then when Kisame was about 5 feet in the air, Naruto hit him hard, sending him into the air about fifteen feet, before jumping up, and delivering a hard kick to his head, sending him hurtling into the side of a building, and through the wall.

"Hehehe… that is not quite enough… Hehehe…. What else, hum? I know, lets do this." Naruto said to himself again, before forming a rasengan. When it was complete, he cackled again, before forming a hand seal with his free hand. Suddenly, there was a black fire surrounding the rasengan. Cackling again, Naruto tossed the Chakra ball into the air, watching it go into the air, only to fall back towards the ground. But before it could reach the ground, he pulled his leg up and behind his back.

"Rasengan Shot!!" Naruto said, and then kicked the ball of Chakra at Kisame. It shot forward at an incredible speed, slamming into Kisame, pushing him back through the building, only to continue on through two more house's, before Kisame laid still, having been knocked out from the force of the hit.

"Hehehehehe… that was the rasengan shot. I formed the rasengan, and put some of my Chakra infused flames around it, so that the Flame would sustain the Ball. Then I just kicked it at him. Hehehehehe, he deserved it, he broke the rules, and you can't do that hehehehehe…. No you cant…." Naruto said, eyeing Itachi evilly. Itachi looked at the boy who he was sent to recapture, and felt something he had not felt in a long long time.

Fear, total unbridled fear. Turning to where Kisame lay, he ran towards his partner, intent on escaping from this insane blonde. But as he was getting closer, Naruto suddenly appeared in front of him, kicking him in the chin, sending him flying back. Landing, Naruto looked at Itachi, and put on a sad voice.

"Ahhhhh, where are you going… were playing a game. I thought we where having fun. Wait, your getting up again, so you were having fun too!! Hehehehehe good, lets keep playing, I like this game." Naruto said, and disappeared again. Appearing in front of Itachi, he sent a kick at Itachi's head. Itachi ducked under the kick, feeling the kick move a few hairs on his head.

'Fast!!!' Itachi thought, sending a kick at Naruto's unguarded form. Naruto saw it coming, and twisted his body in mid air, swinging under Itachi, and sent a swipe with one of his swords at his opponent's legs. Itachi jumped over the swipe, and jumped back, and started to form hand signs, but was stopped when he felt a pair of hands grab his, holding them still.

"Hehehe, no no no no. None of that Itachi-Chan. That's cheating. I'll let it slide this time… hehehehehe, but next time, you will be… hehehehehe… punished!" Naruto said, sending a kick to Itachi's side. A crack was heard, indicating Naruto broke at least one rib. Itachi was thrown to the side, coming to a stop next to Kisame's body. Struggling up, He grabbed his partner's body, formed a hand seal, and disappeared, just as Naruto sent a kick at His head. Naruto landed, and looked at the spot where Itachi just was, before pouting.

"Hum, were did they go. They're breaking the rules. Darn it, I was having fun playing with them." Naruto said. Looking around, his eye's settled on his friends, before he grinned evilly again. Turning he started towards them. " Well at least you guy's can still play with me… hehehehehe… lets play a game."

Naruto disappeared, only to reappear behind Lee, kicking him in the head. Ryuu shouted out in surprise.

Naruto… Stop, we are your friends, not the enemy. Stop it Naru… ugghhh." Ryuu cried out, as Naruto hit her in the stomach. She dropped to the ground, before looking up at him, tears in her eye. Naruto cackled evilly, but was cut off when Lee kicked him in the side.

"Ohh good you still want to play… hehehehehe…" Naruto said, not even affected by Lee's kick. Grabbing lee's foot, as it was still at his side, he swung him around, and through him into a building. Walking over to lee's form, he posed his sword's to run Lee through.

"Hehehehehe… I win… hehehehehe…!" Naruto said, and raised his sword over his head. He was about to bring it down on lee when something made him stop. That something was Ryuu wrapping her arms around him.

"Naruto, please stop this, we are your friends, stop this please. Please stop hurting your friends." She said, her tears soaking his cloths on his back. Naruto felt himself settle down, as his Mask receded into his face. His eye's turned back to normal. Naruto looked down at Lee's battered form, as his eye's started to water.

"What… have I done…?" Naruto asked, before he collapsed onto the ground, blood coming out of the wound cause by Itachi, as when he transformed, he didn't have access to Kyuubi, so it couldn't heal him.

"NARUTO!!" Ryuu yelled out, as she bent down to check on him. She found him in a near critical condition. Turning to her other fellow Nin, she yelled to them.

"Get him into the hotel." She said, to which they nodded, and brought him inside. She went over to Lee, and found him sleeping, snoring lightly. Looking around, she found he had a broken wrist, and a broken leg. Picking him up, she hauled him inside, thinking one thought as she did.

'This is all my fault.'

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

Naruto sat up, and looked around. He was in his mindscape. Getting up, he dicided to pay Kyuubi a visit. Coming to the Fox's cage, he looked up at the Kyuubi, before nodding at him.

"Kit, there is someone you should talk to." Kyuubi said, motioning to behind Naruto. Naruto turned around, and nearly fell down from shock. There in front of him, was… well… Him, and behind his clone self, was another person, hidden in the light.

The Naruto in front of him was dressed just like him, but he had on the mask, and armor that Naruto did when he transformed. They both looked at each other, before the other Naruto spoke.

"DO you want to play a game? Hehehehehe." The clone said, inching forward. Naruto tensed up, and got ready for a fight, but was cut of by the voice of the other figure.

"Not now Kage, We have much to talk to him about." The voice said, as the figure stepped forward. Naruto observed the figure in front of him. It looked like an old man, waist long white hair, a long beard, and a Cain. He wore a white robe, and was wearing sandals.

"Hello Naruto, how are you?" The figure asked, his voice soft and caring. Naruto growled, and charged at the old man, pulling his swords out.

Clang!!

Naruto looked at the old man, who had pulled a sword out of the Cain he had, and blocked his swords with one hand. Naruto jumped back, and looked at the old man.

"Who the hell are you, and why are you in my mind?" Naruto asked, still holding his swords. The old man sighed, and put his sword away, before sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"Please put your swords away young one, we are not your enemy's. When you have done that, I shall tell you who we are." The old man said. Naruto looked at him suspiciously, but put his swords away, before walking slightly closer. Looking at the old man, he growled.

"Now who are you?" Naruto asked again, to which the old man smiled slightly.

"Well my young fighter, we are… well you." The old guy said. Naruto looked at him in confusion, before saying one word.

"What?"

"Let me start at the beginning. Every since you had Kyuubi sealed inside of you, his Chakra has been effecting you. It started with your whisker marks and masterful skill at pranking people. Now though, it has changed you drastically. When you made that deal with Kyuubi, when you sealed him in the gloves, you got a large amount of his Chakra. Now…" The old guy was saying, but was cut off by Naruto's cry.

"AHHHHH, he is right, I sealed you in the glove's, what the hell are you doing here?" Naruto asked the Kyuubi, who just growled, before answering.

"When you sealed me, I left a small amount of Chakra inside your mind, so right now, all I'm doing is projecting myself in your head, nothing more, no shut up and listen to the old man." Kyuubi said, shutting Naruto up. The old man chuckled, before continuing.

"Anyway, because of this Chakra, You have changed into, basically, a third fox demon, and for reason's unknown, another third Lion demon. The last third is still human, and should remain as such for the rest of your life. Naruto, your basically 66.6 percent demon." The old man said. Naruto looked at him, looked at Kage, then looked at Kyuubi, before doing on thing.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! What the hell is going on? Why is this happening, what is…!"? Naruto was screaming, but was cut off when the old guy hit him in the head.

"Baka, be quite. Now, you should know that because of the Kyuubi, you are part fox demon, but you have no idea why you are part Lion demon, do you Naruto?" The old guy asked Naruto, who shook his head.

"Well it turns out that, on your mother's side, several thousand generations ago, one human and one lion demon had a relationship, and thus, demon blood for Lion demons have been passed down through the generations, all the way until you. The Lion demon part of you, is me, and my name is… Hehehe… not for you two know, so you will just call me Oni-Sensei. The other person, the one you just had a run in with, when you used some of his power in your recent fight, is the Fox demon part of you, which is why every thing you were doing was a game.

"So now that you know that, you can call on use only in times of emergency. Depending on the situation, one of use will emerge to help you. Now you should be going about now. Bye, have a nice sleep." Oni said, forcing Naruto out of the mindscape, and into dreamland.

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

Naruto groaned and sat up, before looking around, taking in his surroundings. He was about to get up, when he remembered what had happened yesterday. Jumping out of bed, he ran out the door and into the other room, yanked the door open, and ran inside to find Lee lying on the bed, the others gathered around him.

Walking up to his friend, he looked down at him. He felt bad, really bad, about what happened. Kneeling down, he looked at the floor, before speaking to his other companions.

"It's all my fault, if I had better control this wouldn't have happened." Naruto said, still not looking up. He felt horrible, absolutely horrible. He was brought out of his thoughts when he heard Ryuu speak.

"Its not your fault, Naruto… its… its my fault!" Ryuu said, turning and running out the door. Naruto stood up, and looked at where she had been standing. He didn't understand how she thought it was her fault, and it showed on her face. The boy, whose name was Kaien, noticed this, and spoke up.

"Two years ago, Ryuu was just starting as a chunin. She had a mission, as team leader, and it was the first mission as team leader. Everything was going fine, but then… then something went wrong." Kaien was saying, as Naruto looked at him, as he continued speaking. " Some Missing-Nin attacked them, and out of the 7 Genin and her that had started the mission, only 3 Genin and her made it out, one of which was seriously wounded. That Genin died later that night, in her arms. She never got over his death, or what happened after. The Missing-Nin attacked them again. She was down, as was one of the Genin, and she felt so hopeless. The last Genin was a boy who would do anything for his friends.

"This boy, he looked at her, grinned, then charged the Missing-Nin, taking down many of them, before he died. Then right when the remaining Missing-Nin where going to attack, an ANBU patrol from our village arrived, and saved them. Ryuu, however, blamed herself for it all. She kept muttering how it was her fault, how she could do nothing, how if she didn't heal the Genin who saved their lives, he would still be alive, and nobody would have died. I knew it wasn't true; they would have all died if she hadn't healed that boy. But now, she is confused as to if she should heal someone or let them be. What just happened, she most likely blame's herself for you hurting Lee, cause if you weren't healed, and couldn't fight, then you might not have gone crazy insane clown like on us. That is why she said it was her fault."

Naruto looked at Kaien, then looked at the door again, before nodding, and following after her. He knew where she was, she was on the roof, he could fell her Chakra from there, even if he didn't know how he was doing it, he just knew she was there.

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

Ryuu stood there, crying silently, looking over the railing on the roof. She hurt so much; she felt it was her fault that she had let it happen again. She had let people get hurt again cause she had made a decision that had led to a friend of hers, if he was her friend after what she did, hurting her other friend. And it was all her fault.

Open my eyes
I try to see but I'm blinded by the white light
I can't remember how
I can't remember why
I'm lying here tonight

And I can't stand the pain
and I can't make it go away
No I can't stand the pain

She heard the roof door open, but didn't turn to see who it was. She somehow knew it was he, the boy who she had healed, the boy who she felt she had lost any opportunity to make him her friend. Naruto.

Naruto walked up to her, and stood next to her, looking out over the town they were staying in. He glanced at her, glanced at her crying form, and winced. He didn't know why he winced, but he did, just cause she was crying, and he hated it.

How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I've got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

" You know, back in my village, were me and Lee came from, to most people, it would seem like a caring, loving place… to most people. However, to Lee, and me we knew what it was really like, me much more than Lee. You see, ever since I was born, I have known nothing but hate, and abuse." Naruto said, not looking at the girl next to him. Ryuu was looking at him, shocked at what he had just said, shocked at what she had just heard, but also confused, utterly direly confused.

Everybody's screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I'm slipping off the edge
I'm hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again

So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can't explain what happened
And I can't erase the things that I've done
No I can't

"On my first birthday, when I was still in the orphanage, somebody broke both my arms and my left rib. I was just a child, I couldn't even walk yet, much less defend myself. On my second birthday, I was stabbed twice, and beaten to within an inch of my life. This went on till I finally ran away from the orphanage.

"When I was five, I got my own apartment. I was happy for one of the few times of my life, I felt safe and protected in the apartment… but then… two weeks later I came home after I had eaten dinner at the only place that didn't hate me, nor overly price my food, only to find everything I owned completely destroyed. I had nothing left in my apartment, they had tagged my wall's, floor, with words saying 'die demon' and 'no one wants you here demon'. It took me a week just to get my apartment cleaned, I had no money, and I slept on the floor. I got beaten on my birthday, which had become a day to fear for me. Back then; I didn't understand why everyone hated me. When I was 8, I started to do something to relive my pain and hate. I started cutting myself. It soon became a habit for whenever I hurt, and I did it right up till when Lee and me left the village.

"I always thought I did something wrong, I thought it was my fault, but it wasn't, and I realized that eventually. But today, today was my fault. Not yours, not Lee's, not Kaien's, it was my fault, so don't blame yourself… don't burden yourself, please don't… it was not your fault…" Naruto was telling her, looking her in the face now, looking her in the eye's, her beautiful stormy blue eye's, that were tear up from her pain, and her memory's. He was going to continue, but she cut him off.

How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I've got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

"Baka, it was my fault, it was all my fault. If I had not healed you so much, if I had left you there, you would still be asleep and Lee would be all right. Its my fault." Ryuu said, turning her gaze to the ground. Naruto put his hand under her chin and brought her face up to view him. He stared into her eye's, taking in her pain, and her sadness.

"Don't say that, it was not your fault. If you didn't heal me, Itachi would have killed you, and the others, so do not say it was your fault. It wasn't… okay, it was not your fault." Naruto said, still looking her in the eye, said blue eyes were starting to tear up.

"But it was my fault, I just, I fell so useless. I cant do anything right. It was my fault Lee and you got hurt, and it was my fault then too." Ryuu said, looking at him, tears streaming down her face. Naruto growled at her, his voice rising slightly as her spoke to her again.

"It was not your fault now, and it wasn't your fault then! That boy, the Genin who you healed, he sacrificed his life for you and your teammate! He made a decision then and I would have done the same thing!" Naruto said to her, his pain and hurt sounding clearly in his voice. He wanted her pain to stop, he wanted her tears to dry, and he wanted her to be happy.

"It was my fault, he died because of what I did! It was my fault, so don't act like you know what happened to me!!" Ryuu said, and turned to leave, tears streaming down her face. But she was stopped when Naruto grabbed her wrist, stooping her in her tracks.

"STOP RUNNING AWAY!!" Naruto said, trying to make her understand. Understand that it was not her fault, it was never her fault, and her pain, anger, hurt, was so unnecessary. She turned around to look at him, tears still flowing, much more freely than before.

"WHY DO YOU CARE!!??" Ryuu yelled at him, looking him in the eye's, the eye's that were guarded, showed no emotion no matter how hard you stared into them. But what she saw wasn't the cold wall that was usually there, she saw hurt, pain, and an overwhelming need to understand. And the look in his eye's stopped her dead in her tracks.

"WHY DO I CARE? I CARE BECAUSE YOU ARE MY FRIEND, AND YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND! IT WAS NOT YOUR FAULT, IT NEVER WAS! THAT GENIN WHO GAVE UP HIS LIFE SO YOU COULD LIVE, THINK ABOUT HOW HE FEEL'S RIGHT NOW, HOW HE FEELS EVER TIME HE BLAMES HIMSELF…SO PLEASE…Please Ryuu, understand what everyone but you know. It was not your fault then, and it is not your fault now, it's my fault that Lee was hurt, and that you were hurt. I feel so bad about doing that, but I feel even worse when I see you cry, and blaming yourself. So please… please see that it wasn't your fault, Ryuu." Naruto said, looking the red haired girl in the eyes, his voice begging her to stop blaming herself for what happened then, and what happened now.

Ryuu looked at the boy in front of her, the boy who told her to realize that it wasn't her fault when Lee was hurt, and it wasn't her fault when the Genin boy died. He wanted her to stop blaming herself for those incidents, wanted her to stop crying. But these thoughts, only caused her to cry harder, to let all the pain she had been keeping bottled up inside her flow out of her, and it felt good.

Ryuu then did the only thing she could think of at that time, she threw herself towards the blonde haired boy, and wrapped her arms around him, crying into his shoulder. Crying harder than she ever had in her life, all because this boy had helped her realize, helped her understand that what she had been haunted by for so long, had not even been her fault.

Naruto however, was shocked. This girl, Ryuu, had jumped on him, and hugged him, crying into his shoulder. Then, Naruto realized what was happening, one thing was he was being hugged by this red head that he had meet not to long ago, and the second was that she had thrown him off balance. He was falling backwards.

Naruto hit the ground hard; well he would have, if the wall for the upper part of the hotel hadn't stopped him. Ryuu hadn't even noticed the change in altitude, she just kept crying into his shoulder.

Naruto smiled down at her, and wrapped his arms around her, then slid onto the ground, till he was sitting down, holding Ryuu in his arms. He held her as she let out all her bottled up pain and hurt, held her as she cried on him, as she held him close to her, as she cried from realizing that it was not her fault, and she liked it.

I made my mistakes
I've got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

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

Kaien, Lee and the other girl, who's name was Lira, stood there, in the door way, looking at the two Ninja as they sat there, one crying into the other, as said other held her close, and let her cry out her pain and sorrow.

"Lets leave them alone for now." Lira said, to which the others nodded, and all three went inside.

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

It had been about half an hour sense Naruto had sat down, and Ryuu was finally settling down. Naruto looked down at the girl who was previously crying into his arms, and smiled.

"You doing better now?" Naruto asked her, smiling slightly at the red haired girl in his arms. Ryuu looked up at him, wiped her eyes, and nodded with a small smile, but never broke her gaze into his eyes. She had gotten lost in them, in their blue depths, and boy was she enjoying it. But she knew it couldn't last.

"Yes…" Ryuu whispered, before standing up, getting off of him. When they parted, Ryuu felt somewhat empty, somewhat incomplete. And it hurt her to be like that. Unknown to her Naruto was felling that too, and he was just as confused about it as well.

"I'm glad I could help, now we should go back inside now." Naruto said, and turned towards the door. But he was stopped when Ryuu said something.

"Naruto…?" She said, barely louder than a whisper. Naruto turned around to look at her, and made a noise equal to a 'huh'. Ryuu giggled at this, before walking up to him, and kissing him on the cheek. Pulling back, she leaned up to his ear, and whispered into it.

"Thank you." And with that she ran to the door, and back downstairs', leaving a very shocked Naruto, standing there, with his hand on his cheek, right were she had kissed him.

'What was that about?' Naruto thought to himself. When she had kissed him, he had felt his heart beat faster than ever before, he had felt his stomach do a flip, and had felt like he had eaten butterflies. Shaking his head, he dicided he would ask Lee and Kaien about it later, before turning and going back inside.

Reaching his room, he went inside, expecting to see everybody, but instead he saw only Lee and Kaien, no one else. Turning to Lee, he was about to ask where the girls went, when Lee spoke up, cutting him off.

"The girls are in the other room. Lira was dragged there when Ryuu came in, blushing like mad, and dragged her out of the room, without so much as a word… so… Naruto what did you two do on the roof, hum?" Lee asked, causing Naruto to blush. Naruto then remembered his feelings earlier on the roof, and now was as good a time as any to ask about it. Turning to Lee, he looked his friend in the eye.

"Lee, what dose it mean when I get this funny feeling when I'm near Ryuu. I feel like there are butterflies in my stomach, and stuff like that. What's it mean?" Naruto asked Lee, who only grinned wider, before looking at Kaien, who was also grinning. Then both jumped up, and started dancing around Naruto singing something.

"Naruto, oh Naruto, your in love!" Kaien said.

"Oh how sweet this is!" Lee said right after.

"Romance thy name is Naruto." Kaien said.

"When can we expect the wedding, my friend?" Lee said.

"Then the Kids!!" Kaien said.

"Ah yes the Kids." Lee replied, both still dancing around Naruto, who was just shocked at this time.

"HAHAHA OUR LITTLE NARUTO HAS GROWN UP!!!" Both boy's said at the same time. By now Naruto had gotten over his shock, and had grabbed two pillows from the bed, then brought them down onto the two dancing ninja.

"Ahh Naruto, Violence is not the answer!!" Lee said, raising his arms in defense. Kaien laughed at his Friends plight.

"Nope Violence is the solution, besides we all now that…!" Kaien said before stopping to defend himself from Naruto's onslaught. Then Both Lee and Kaien jumped to each other, put there arms on each other's Shoulders, and yelled out in one voice.

"… That drug's are the answer!!" Then they dove to the side to avoid the pillows thrown at them. Kaien got up and looked at Lee, before looking back at Naruto.

"Naruto, this wont do, Attacking us with pillow's, that is violent, and not good for a husband, Ryuu would be vary mad at you right no…AHHHH!!" Kaien was saying, but received a pillow to the face from Naruto. Lee however picked up where his fallen friend left off.

"He is right you know. This is not good for the future husband of Ryuu. Ahh I can just see it now, its dusk, the sunlight is fading, and Naruto is out in front of Ryuu's window. Then he starts to sing, 'Ryuu oh sweet Ryuu, were art thou my sweet Ryuu'… and then he will jump up on her window…AGGHHH!!!" Lee shouted out, receiving a pillow to his gut, followed by one to his face. He falls to the floor, and Naruto is fuming. Looking at his fallen comrades, he glares at them, before glairing at Lee.

"That's not even how it goes dumbass." Naruto growled, making the two fallen Ninja laugh harder. Lee looked at Kaien, before looking back at Naruto.

"Ahh, a feisty fox for his dear Ryuu-Chan, aye Kaien?" Lee asked, rolling to avoid another pillow. Kaien laughed out loud, before replying.

"Oh yes, feisty indeed. And as we all know, Ryuu likes them…" Kaien said, dogging another pillow, before both him and Lee replied in Singsong voice.

"Rough, tough, and always ready to FUC…!" They were saying, but where cut off when Lira's voice was heard over the noise.

"Fuck is going on here, looks like another great Ninja War!!" She exclaimed, looking at the boys, two of whom were rolling on the ground. Naruto looked behind the girl, but there was no sign of Ryuu. His hope dropped a bit, but his thoughts were cut when Lee started to Speak.

"Our little Naruto-Kun has grown up, he is in lo…UGGGHHH!" Lee was cut off as Naruto dove, his hand covering Lee's mouth. Smiling back up at Lira, He grinned, and looked back down at Lee.

"Anyway, Lira, what are you doing here?" Naruto asked, looking at her, before looking back at lee, who was struggling to get out of his friends grasp.

"Ahh right, anyway, we have dicided that we will split up into two groups and head to our destination, the Village hidden trees. And so, I have dicided the groups, and they will be… Kaien, Lee, and me make up group one, that means that Naruto and Ryuu will be make up group two. It takes about a month of travel to get to the village, and we will leave in 3 days." Lira said, before turning around, the smile on her face growing. She had dicided to give Naruto and Ryuu some alone time. Walking back to her room, she heard only one thing from the room she just left.

"WHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!??????????" It was Naruto.

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

Ryuu stood back on top of the roof she was on earlier, thinking about the blonde haired boy who was there with her earlier as well. She was confused, and this boy had caused it. Whenever she was close to him, she got all tingly, and she didn't know why, till she had asked Lira. And her friend had said one thing.

Love.

She had said Ryuu was in love with this blonde haired kid, and Ryuu was shocked at that. She couldn't have fallen in love with him that quick, right. Well even if she did love him, she was almost completely sure he didn't love her, no way he did. Oh well, maybe with time he could learn to love her.

She had heard Lira talking about splitting into two groups, and to be frank, she was slightly scared and worried, not to mention anxious and exited about the idea, but she had given her support to it eventually. She would get more time to be with Naruto, so she would enjoy it.

Ryuu looked up at the Sky, orange from the setting sun, and smiled. Naruto, he came into my life, flip-flopped it, and then dicided to stay there, and to her own surprise she liked it. Maybe they would end up together eventually, but she had no way to know.

Time would tell, yes time would tell.
