Author's Note: Oh my fricking god. I just did chapter 2 a while back and I found out that there were so many people that followed and favorite this story and for that you have my thanks for enjoying what I have made.
Also I wanted to know about this story being in the godlike Naruto community and anti-drama. Although I am flattered at this I kinda don't like it because sure he has the ultimate shield but I'm not making him overpowered. Just stronger than the original Naruto in part 1 of the series. He'll have the same intelligence and the same taijutsu that he had.
Another thing is that I want anyone to check out my story Taboo because I am going to update it at probably the same time as this story. Sorry for anyone that is reading Chances and expects for me to make the chapter like I used to do. It's just that it is hard to transition the story. I do apologize for it but don't worry I will not leave it incomplete.
So anyways enjoy the story
Naruto then had his signature smile as he walked throughout Suna at night with his new friend, Gaara, as they were just simply talking.
They then decided to just sit down at a park near the playground and sat at a bench together.
Naruto then said, "So what happened and why were you there at that alley." Gaara seemed tense as she didn't want to talk about it as her fists tightened. Naruto seeing this was going to say something different, "Well, Suna is great and-"
Gaara then suddenly spoke, "The sand-" Naruto said, "What?" She then continued, "The sand scared everyone." She was starting to cry again and Naruto said, "It's alright. I'm here to help you. If you don't want to continue then stop and just look at the stars."
He then pointed to Suna's night sky as there were many stars in the sky. She also looked at it and was amazed. He then saw her look as she looked like a kid in a candy store, "First time seeing the stars."
She then looked back at him as she nodded and then looked at the stars again. He then said, "They're pretty aren't they."She nodded again as her attention was to looking at the stars.
Naruto then said, "I always look at them every night." Gaara then looked at him as Naruto continued, "Back in Konoha where I'm from. Every night when I have a bad day when the villagers chase me, I always go back to where my apartment is and spend my night watching the stars from my roof."
Gaara was shocked at what she had just heard; He also is the same like me. But he looks so nice maybe he did something bad there.
Gaara then said, "When I was at the playground and I found some kids playing. I said I wanted to play with them and they said yes. I was so happy to play with them and then-" She was going to cry again but Naruto touched her hand and gave a smile. Gaara then continued, "-I missed the ball so I tried to catch it and then the sand just followed where I touched and I got the ball. When I looked back I saw everyone afraid and then they started calling me monster and I hid in the alley so I wouldn't disturb anyone."
Naruto then thought, No wonder she has the same eyes like me. Kurama, can I ask you something. Kurama then answered, "What is it, kit?" Naruto asked, Is Gaara the same like me. You know a jinchuu-whata. Kurama then said, "Of course she is brat, I can practically smell Shukaku in her."
Naruto then said, "Shukaku, who's that?" Kurama then said, "He's the youngest out of the bijuus. He is also the one tail and the craziest out of all of us. That girl has it rough."
Naruto then got out of his thoughts and spoke to Gaara, "So where do you live?" Gaara then said, "Huh." Naruto explained, "I mean where do you live so that I can walk you there."
Gaara said as she pointed at the large mansion, "That's where I live." Naruto jaw was open in disbelief. This mansion was the same size as the Hokage mansion and Naruto stuttered, "Ga-Ga- Gaara i-is tha-that your house?" Gaara nodded and then left the bench and told Naruto, "Come on aren't you supposed to walk with me to my house."
Naruto then snapped out of his nervousness and immediately went to Gaara's side and started walking to Gaara's house.
They soon arrived and Naruto said, "Um- since I- guess that we're here. Uh- bye bye." Naruto started to run but suddenly sand got his ankles and pulled him to where Gaara was and then he was upside down facing Gaara as she said, "No, you're staying."
Naruto was thinking of a good excuse so that he could go back to Jiji and this was probably not a good spot for him. So he said, "Well I better get going." Gaara just said, "Why?" He then said, "Because Jiji is probably looking for me." Gaara then said, "Who's that?" Naruto said, "He's Jiji and he's probably sick and-"
"Naruto-kun is that you." Naruto looked to where the voice came from and he saw Jiji with the guy Naruto met earlier in the office. Naruto's sweat dropped and almost cried as his only escape was now gone. Kurama just laughed, "Ha! The kit is going to be a good whipped mate." Naruto then said, "What do you mean by whipped mate, fox!?"
Gaara then said, "What are you doing, Naruto?" Naruto got snapped from his talk with Kurama, "Oh, um, I was just thinking of something."
The man who Naruto remembered said, "Gaara, if you may, can you drop Uzumaki." Gaara then released Naruto from her sand grip and Naruto fell on his head, "Hai, Kazekage-sama." Gaara then proceeded to enter the house and the Kazekage just frowned as he thought, I'm sorry Gaara for what I have done to you. I hope that I can do the best to make you better.
The Kazekage then saw Naruto get up and said, "Ok, Naruto you may get inside." The Kazekage then went inside the mansion and leaving Naruto and Sarutobi. Naruto then asked, "Ne jiji why are we here?"
Sarutobi then answered, "Well, Naruto-kun, when I was talking to the Kazekage about stuff. He decided that I would stay the night at his house and that he called a few shinobi to look for you. I then followed him to his house and I saw you being hung upside down with his daughter."
Naruto was slack jawed again as he shouted, "GAARA IS THE DUDE'S DAUGHTER!" Sarutobi who was nursing his ears said, "Yes Naruto-kun. Gaara is the kazekage's daughter." Naruto instantly thought, The Kazekage looks like a nice guy then why did Gaara feel angry when she saw him.
Sarutobi then asked, "So how did you meet Gaara, Naruto-kun?" Naruto answered, "I found her all alone and crying, Jiji." Naruto then continued after taking a breath, "When I left you at that office, I decided to look around this place. I was looking for ramen here."
Sarutobi sighed as he thought, I have to get Naruto off of that ramen and get him to eat something more nutritious. If he keeps this up he'll be like a midget by the time he hits puberty.
Naruto continued, "After finding out that there was no ramen-" Naruto stopped as he wiped a tear of his eye due to his food of the gods not being here. Meanwhile, Sarutobi celebrated, Yes! Thank Kami for that. Maybe I should have Naruto come here more often.
Naruto said, "-I found some other kids to play with at the playground here." Sarutobi smiled, At least Naruto can have a normal childhood here and play with other kids.
Naruto then said, "Anyway, after the kids left. I decided to go back but then I saw Gaara crying and I decided to go near her and after that we talked and we became friends. I then said that I would walk her home so I followed her here and can I ask you something, Jiji."
Sarutobi then said, "What is it?" Naruto explained, "When I saw Gaara look at her father. She just looked exactly like me when I'm with the bullies back home." Sarutobi then said, "I don't know, Naruto-kun. But let's go inside now, it's pretty dark."
Naruto nodded as he followed Jiji inside the house. The house looked normal and then he saw the Kazekage at the living room and two more kids come out and be where he was. One was a girl with four ponytails and the other one was a buy with makeup.
Naruto then approached the two and asked, "What are your names, ponytails and makeup guy." There was silence as the boy wearing makeup was seething and the first one to break the silence was the girl as she started laughing followed by the two kages.
The boy then said, "Who are you calling makeup boy, midget?! And this isn't makeup, this is face paint." Naruto then said, "Oh yeah! Then what is your face paint for." The boy then said, "It's for intimidating people when in battle." Naruto said, "More like make them laugh to death."
As Naruto kept on laughing and makeup boy was still angry. It then changed when the Kazekage suddenly said, "Kankuro, Temari, be quiet!" This stopped Naruto from laughing as he saw the two kids say, "Yes, otou-san."
Naruto then thought, So these are Gaara's siblings. Interesting, so this is Gaara's family.
Suddenly Gaara came out and Naruto saw in her sibling's eyes, fear. The girl known as Temari then said, "How are you, Gaara?" Gaara just said, "I'm fine sister. I just came here to ask something to the Kazekage."
The kazekage then said, "What is it that you want, Gaara?" Gaara replied, "I want someone to be with me in my room." The kazekage then said, "Sure as long as you don't make too much noise." Gaara then said in a monotone voice, "Understood."
Naruto in the meantime was in deep thought; I don't get this family at all. Gaara is angry and wants to be away from her family. Her siblings are scared of her and her father doesn't even look like he cares for Gaara. Is that why she is like me.
Naruto's thoughts vanished when he felt someone pull him. He then saw Gaara who said, "You are going to sleep with me tonight in my room." This caused the poor blond to be brain dead as Temari and Kankurou were red over what Gaara had just said.
Naruto then snapped back to reality as he stuttered over the fact that this was his first time being in a girl's room and tried to escape. "Um Gaara, I think I'm going to be with Jiji."
Gaara then bluntly said, "No. You are staying with me, tonight." A flustered Naruto was trying his best to say something but then his feet were pulled and he was being dragged by Gaara's sand to her room.
The blonde boy was trying his hardest to escape, "Kurama, help!" Kurama was just laughing at the boy's misery, "I'm sorry kit. But this is too priceless for me. So I'm not helping you now. You're on your own kit."
Naruto cursed Kurama and was holding the doorframe to get out but Gaara's sand is still pulling him towards her room. Naruto called out to Jiji, "Jiji help me." Sarutobi was just drinking tea as he saw Naruto being pulled by the kazekage's daughter. It almost looked like to him with Minato and Kushina.
The wise hokage said, "Ok, Naruto." Naruto's eyes were filled with joy until, "You can stay with Gaara." Naruto lost his grip as he said, "Damn you, jiji."
The Kazekage just simply watched everything happened as Temari and Kankurou were shocked by Gaara's sudden change of behavior. He then shifted his eyes to Sarutobi as he was still drinking his tea, "You seem rather calm about this." Sarutobi answered, "They just reminded me of a couple I saw back then."
In the room, Naruto was uncomfortable as he saw Gaara on her bed and staring at him. The air was filled with suspense until, "Are you coming here, Naruto." Naruto snapped from his thoughts and looked at Gaara who again said, "Its night and I would like for you to sleep with me."
Naruto then said, "I- um-" Naruto was interrupted when sand came out and grabbed Naruto and placed him near Gaara on the bed.
Gaara then said, "It's ok. I just want a friend to be with me but if you don't want then-" Naruto interrupted, "I'll sleep with you." He then began to blush a bit.
Meanwhile, Temari and Kankurou were listening at the door and when their father saw what they were doing he asked, "What are you doing, Temari, Kankurou?"
Kankurou then said, "We're here because we want to keep Gaara safe." Temari then said, "Also that blonde guy might take advantage of Gaara." The Kazekage sweat dropped and said, "Uzumaki-san looks like a good boy and he means no harm to Gaara."
Temari then said, "But he looks like a nice guy but I bet you he's a bad person on the inside." Temari and Kankurou heard Gaara say, "Stop moving, Naruto. It hurts." They started to blush as they heard Naruto said, "I'm sorry Gaara but it's too tight."
Kankurou started to nosebleed and Temari became red from both anger and from what she heard. She then punched Kankurou at the top of his head causing a bump on his head as he angrily said, "What the hell are you doing?!" Temari said, "What are you doing?! You are getting a nosebleed off of your sister. You're a pervert."
Kankurou said, "Oh yeah, I bet the reason that you're blushing right now is because you're just imagining Naruto and Gaara having-" He was interrupted when Temari pulled out her fan and blasted him to the wall, knocking him out in the process.
Temari then angrily stomped her way to the bedroom as the Kazekage just sweat dropped from the performance of his children and Sarutobi just thought, You'd be so proud, Minato and Kushina for getting a redhead like you. The lines of your blood run deep indeed, Minato.
A certain white haired pervert sneezed as he thought, Why do I have a feeling of giving the greatest thank you present to someone. Never mind got to focus on the women.
Back to the bedroom of Gaara, there was a certain blonde who just stopped struggling and gave in. He was now face to face with Gaara in a bed.
Gaara smiled and said, "Thank you Naruto." Naruto smiled as his blush was gone, "You're welcome, Gaara and good night." Gaara then began to fall asleep which was a rare thing because Shukaku would make her not sleep but for some reason the beast was quiet tonight.
The next morning, Naruto woke up and discovered that Gaara was gone and he decided to leave the bedroom of Gaara and went to the living room where he saw Temari and Kankurou. He gave a smile as the two of them suddenly became red and left the living room. The Kazekage simply sighed at this and didn't even mind talking to his two kids about what happened last night.
Naruto then approached the kazekage as he asked, "Where's Gaara?" The Kazekage said, "She's out with my ex wife's brother, Yashamaru." Naruto smiled, "Thanks kazekage-sama. I have to go." Naruto was going to run until he was stopped by the Kazekage as he said, "Wait, Uzumaki. I have to ask you something."
Naruto then said, "Go for it." The kazekage bluntly said, "How was my daughter last night? Did she keep you awake?" That made Sarutobi spit out his tea and Naruto was confused why Jiji did that. He then said, "Gaara was fine and she was very nice to me and she let me slept."
The kazekage nodded as he allowed Naruto to go and the blonde boy just ran out of the door. The kazekage just sighed as he looked at Sarutobi who was recovering from what the innocent blonde boy had just said.
Naruto was walking around Suna as he found Gaara outside the mansion on the roof and then ran back inside and was on the roof. He then found Gaara with a guy who had brown hair and Gaara seemed happy.
Naruto said, "Hey, Gaara!" Gaara then looked to where Naruto was, "Good morning, Naruto. You slept well." Gaara nodded and then the guy who was next to him said, "Hi, Naruto my name is Yashamaru." Naruto said, "Hello Yashamaru. May I ask why Gaara is with you?"
Yashamaru said, "I am here to be simply be with my nephew who I promised my sister to take care of." Naruto then said, "I know I may this is rude but I want to know what happened to your sister and the kazekage's ex wife who is also your sister."
Gaara then said, "She died giving birth to me, the monster." Yashamaru said, "Gaara stop it. You are not the Ichibi!"
Yashamaru gained his composure and spoke to Naruto, "I'm sorry Naruto but as you can see. This is a very touching subject for Gaara." Naruto nodded as he said, "I understand-" He then went to Gaara and said, "-But let's play Gaara" He then smiled as Gaara then had a smile as well and nodded and the two children played.
Yashamaru was smiling from this scene until he was summoned and he told to Gaara, "Gaara, I have to go and have fun with Naruto." Gaara nodded as Yashamaru shunshined to the Kazekage's office.
In the next moment he was in the Kazekage's office with the suna leader and the hokage in the office. He immediately bowed to the two kages and said, "Kazekage-sama, you have summoned me."
The Kazekage then stood up and said, "Yes Yashamaru. I have a mission for you to do tonight. This will be an S class mission." Yashamaru said, "Hai, what is it?!" The kazekage then said, "I want you to assassinate my daughter, Gaara."
Yashamaru was shocked as Sarutobi stopped moving. The kazekage however had an uncaring look on his face. Yashamaru then recovered from his shock and said, "Ok. Hahaha! Nice joke there. Now seriously what's the real S class mission?"
The kazekage bluntly said, "What joke?! I'm serious about you killing Gaara." Sarutobi who also recovered was going to say something but Yashamaru spoke first, "Why?! Gaara has been good all year and he hasn't killed anyone."
The kazekage then said, "The reason is that I want to test Gaara's control of the beast. Another thing is that this needs to happen before the council begins to send assassins every time to kill her."
Yashamaru then thought about it and Sarutobi said, "Kazekage-sama, don't you think-" Yashamaru suddenly said, "Understood. When should I do it, Kazekage-sama?" Sarutobi said, "Yashamaru-san, don't you think-" The kazekage said, "Tonight, it's your plan."
Yashamaru then shunshined out of the office as the kazekage sat down and Sarutobi said as he sighed, "Is this your only plan." The kazekage had a frown on his face as he said, "I wish there was another."
It was already nightfall and Gaara was at the roof and relaxing. She enjoyed playing with Naruto in the afternoon and retired for the night as she was tired and was amazed how Naruto had so much energy. Naruto then went around Suna to grab a bite.
She was just looking at the stars again and then a kunai flew right past her head. She then said, "Sabaku Kyu." The sand then turned into a coffin but before Gaara could crush his attacker she saw sandy blonde hair.
She stopped her attack and released the sand, "Yashamaru, why?! I could've killed you." Yashamaru shouted, "Why?!" He started laughing, "Because I've wanted to kill you since the day you killed my sister."
Gaara immediately stopped and started backing away, "No, I didn't mean to-" Yashamaru interrupted, "Shut up!" Gaara went to the ground and curled into a ball as she was starting to cry.
Even though this hurt Yashamaru so much to lie to Gaara. He had to do it, it was a mission. Yashamaru then continued, "Do you know why my sister or your mother, name you Gaara?" Gaara didn't lift his head as she continued to cry and Yashamaru continued, "Your name comes from the phrase, 'Ware o aisuru shura'. The reason is because she hated this village to her very soul because of what they did to her and decided to make it into her son."
Yashamaru then got several kunai with explosive tags, "Nobody will ever love you Gaara, for who you are. Even someone like Naruto will never talk to you again; once he learns about the Ichibi. He will never play with you.
That made Gaara cry more, to learn that if Naruto learned about more about her. The fun that the two had would be gone and that made Gaara's tears get out uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, Yashamaru was torn to complete the mission or tell Gaara the truth and console her. No! Control yourself. This is for Gaara's sake. This is my lesson to him about physical and emotional pain and also about love. I have to do this!
Yashamaru with new conviction said, "Now do us all a favor and die, Gaara." The kunais then went straight for Gaara and the sand did not protect her. Gaara then thought, Please let me die!
It lasted for an eternity for death to happen and Gaara realized that nothing hit him and he opened his eyes and stopped crying and said, "N-Naruto?!"
The blonde had been hit in the chest by the kunai as he protected Gaara from the kunai. Yashamaru said, "Na-" He was interrupted when the same blonde who was bleeding and then hit Yashamaru at the jaw sending Yashamaru to the wall.
Naruto then went to Gaara and said, "Gaara, are you alright?" Gaara looked at Naruto and tried to get away while saying, "Go away! I am a monster!" Naruto wouldn't let go and then said, "You are not a monster."
Gaara was even using her sand to get away from Naruto but it wouldn't work. Gaara then said, "Why?! Why are you doing-" She was stopped when Naruto hugged her and it felt like all of her worries and sadness just vanished as she was in the arms of Naruto.
(AN: Cue the no music like what I did in Chances.) Naruto then said as he wiped the eyes of Gaara, "You know I'm kind of tired of doing that so my promise to you is that you are never going to cry, when I'm alive."
Gaara then said, "Naruto, that is the most pointless promise that someone has given me. But-" She then wrapped her arms around Naruto and smiled as the blonde had a faint blush on his cheeks, "-Thank you so much for that."
Naruto then said, "You're welcome." Yashamaru then got out of the wall; Man that kid has a nice kick, and then stood up only to find Naruto angrily staring at him. Naruto said, "Hey teme, why did you do that to Gaara?"
Yashamaru grimaced, Shit! This wan't supposed to happen. What do I do now? I have no orders to attack Naruto and I have to still continue this for Gaara. Yashamaru then said, "Naruto-kun, may you please move out of the way so that I can finish the job I should have done a long time ago."
Naruto said, "No I am not leaving here because I am protecting my friend." Gaara was surprised, "I-I- am- your- friend." Naruto then said to Gaara, "Of course, I'm your friend, Gaara."
Yashamaru then laughed, "HA! You can't be friends with a monster, Naruto-" Yashamaru stopped when he felt an unnatural number of killing intent just pour on him from Naruto who said, "You're no better than the villagers back in Konoha."
The red aura around Naruto intensified as it alerted every shinobi in Suna to appear around the area. The kazekage and the hokage were also watching from on top of the next building and a jonin appeared right in front of them.
"Kazekage-sama, how do we approach this?" The Kazekage then said, "Stand your ground and wait. I wil give the order to attack. Now stand down." The jonin responded, "Hai!" as he vanished all the shinobi immediately surrounded the perimeter and waited for their kage's order.
Meanwhile, Naruto was seething and then he said, "You're gonna pay for what you did to Gaara." Yashamaru was stuttering because of the killing aura that Naruto was making, "Why?"
Naruto then said, "Because a monster protects a monster." Naruto's body was then filled with the steel skin(AN: He looks like Greed in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood when he is in full form) throughout his entire body and then started to attack at Yashamaru.
Sarutobi then said, "Naruto."
Thanks for reading and remember I am not making naruto godlike and there will be drama but not that much. Another thing is that for anyone who is reading my story. Take a chance to look at my passion project, Taboo. Because that is one that I am planning really hard to do.
Another thing is that I would like to thank Natsumi Kioya and ashira23 for their reviews.
Happy new year and i'll see you guys again!
