Chapter 6:

Sakura Haruno found herself accompanying aone of the delegations who would be travelling to Konoha to go through war talks and agreements. Sakura found herself under the piercing eyes of the Godaime Kazekage as they approached the border between the land of fire and the land of wind. Accompanying the delegation of the kage, were his wife, Matsuri Sabaku, Kankuro Sabaku, a figure hidden under a sand coloured cloak (though Sakura did detect red hair when the wind blew in to the persons face), Suna Jounin Baki, and the Kazekage's son, Miso Sabaku, her number one fan.

The little boy was adorable. Long blood red hair that framed his sunkissed skin, delecate aquamarine eyes flared, divided by a cute cutton nose. His eyes were slightly dark rimmed, and he (unlike his father who had none) had whisker thin eyebrows above his eyes. Miso wored black shinobi sandles, a pair of cream white shinobi pants and a sandy coloured t-shirt with a cute image of a racoon stitched on the front. At his sides he held two genie-like bottle made out of sand, probably where he got his emergency supply.

Miso held on to Sakura's back, seeing as she was apparently the best person in the delegation to talk about medical ninjutsu. The child was obsessed with it, just as bad as he was obsessed with sandcastles, sand angels and having his own pet racoon. "Ne, ne, Sakura-san. Can you show me more healing jutsu? Would Hokage-sama teach me her Genisis rebirth technique?". Sakura looked pleadingly to Gaara and Matsuri both of who just innocently wistled on the wagon bound for Konoha.

"Sakura-san?" Miso began again. "Any news from Koni-wa?" he asked mis-pronouncing Konoha. "Did anything happen? Is there a new missing nin?".

Sakura sighed. "You sure are a persistant lil' guy. Just like your dad, only he did it silently and killed whatever he was persuing as soon as he could" she told him. Gaara smirked as Miso looked up at his father. "Sugoi" the small boy said as he turned to Sakura again. Sakura was beginning to get tied from walking with the child on her back. Kankuro smirked from his place as the wgon driver. "Getting a lil' much for you Haruno?" he asked snidely. The pink haired medic growled something which only Miso heared.

He turned to his father with a confused expression. "Tou-sama? What is a 'Bloody S.O.B. ennuch wannabe'?". Kankuro froze as Sakura turned to glare at both him and Miso. If the 'ennuch wannabe' was any clue, Kankuro decided he needed to guard his family jewels more carefully with the medic here.

Matsuri growled as Gaara remained impassive. Baki roared in laughter from where he stod at the side of the wagon. The robed figure remained silent as the grave, knowing of this woman's temperment from legends and rumours spreed throughout the elemental nations and wishing not to be on the receiving end of that.

Sakura growled. "Seriously. I wish you were more like Haku. Naruto got off easy when he had him" he murmered under her breathe. "Sakura-san? Who is Haku? and what do you mean by Naruto?".

"STOP LISTENING IN ON ME OR I'LL GIVE YOU FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE IN BEING AN ENNUCH, NEVER MIND YOU BEING FIVE YEARS OLD!" she screeched at the child, almost needing someone to hold her down before she castrate one of the people she was ment to be keeping safe. However Miso had been loud enough for Gaara to hear with his excellent hearing. The others were just laughing.

As they reached the shade of fire country Gaara ordered they rest. When Baki opposed this, a single glance from the Kazekage silenced him. If the kazekage wanted to rest, then the kazekage will rest, no opposition from any of his subbordinates. Kankuro and Baki settled down to a game of poker, whilst cloacked man went to search around the area in which they rested. Miso and his mother remained on the wagon as the sandy haired woman began to read a story to her little angel.

Gaara made his way to where Sakura sat. "What did you mean by Haku and Naruto?" he asked her dangerously. Sakura froze, but did not face him. "Oh nobody. Ya know Iruka's kid Naruto, and his friend Haku. Yeah, that's right". Gaara stat next to her. "I can tell you're lying. You ment Naruto Uzumaki didn't you? Who is Haku?" he asked. Sakura continued to just sit there with a medical book in her hands. "Kazkage-sama, this is not the time to be speaking of such things". She began to get up and leave but Gaara's sand grabbed her arm. Sakura remained silent but did nothing not wanting to alert the others.

"I'll ask this once and only once" he commanded dangerously "Do you know where Naruto Uzumaki is?". Sakura looked down shamefully. She was about to tell a foreigner about the secret they had been trying to keep under wraps. 'Well Gaara is the kage of an ally village maybe it'd be okay. So long as he doesn't tell Tsunde-sama I opened by big mouth'.

"Tsunade-sama wanted him back, the council to. We retrieved him, but he insists he hates us. He spat in Tsunade-sama's face" Gaara's eyes widened slightly and his pupils narrowed. "Haku is a nickname. A middle name infact. We call him Chibinaru not to confuse him with his father. Naruto is Chibinaru's father. Naruto's a daddy. Their both in Konoha currently. It was supposed to be kept secret. The allies were only to know once they were in Konoha's walls. We're trying to get Naruto to rejoin. But for him to leave he must fight and win all the fights Tsunade-sama has aranged for him".

Gaara's sand retreated and he stood up abruptly. "Matsuri, Kankuro, Baki, Aka-san, Miso. We leave for Konoha now" he ordered sand shunshin-ing on to the wagon once again as the cloaked figure returned and the others looked up with confusion. "Hurry up!" he ordered.

Currently Naruto was playing babysitter to Haku and his two new friends, sending death glares to any of the Konoha twelve who approached him, and sending silent warnings to women who pointed out that Haku looked cute for their own safety. It was difficult dealing with a five year old who could send you in to a coma should you even attempt to call him cute when he doesn't want you to comment.

Obito and Naru hadn't left Haku's side since they had all met a couple of days ago, except for dinner. In that time the young child had taught his two new friends how to use Oiroke no jutsu and two Kawaiiton jutsus. Naruto did nothing to stop him, figuring the village could do with a bit of chaos from the special Hentai jutsu.

Far from the quartet of oiroke users, stood a pale eyed kunoichi looking down at Naruto from one of the buildings. Next to her stod her cousin, Neji. Both had activated byakugans scanning and keeping an eye on the blonde rogue. "Naruto-kun looks good with his hair in a top knot" Hinata commented half heartedly. Neji repressed the urge to sigh. For ten years Hinata had begun making waves in the clan of Hyuga. First was the abollition of the cage bird seal, replacing it instead with a seal on the hand which could only be used by the head Hyuga and the person that held the seal. All members of the Hyuga were required to wear this, marking them as equals, and taking away the threat that the main branch family held over the cadet brach.

Secondly was the introduction of ninjutsu, genjutsu, medical training and weapons training in the Hyuga clan. Hinata had made a case that the lack of these and the sole reliance of the Jyuuken was making the clan weak. A quick demonstration where a couple of Jounin from the village beat the Hyuga's jyuuken. Needless to say the Jyuuken lost it's importance in the Hyuuga ranks as it became known only as the clans common taijutsu.

Next came that males could marry out of the family, on the grounds that it was only women who had the ability to pass on the Byakugan. It was usable by both genders but a male could not pass on the Byakugan. It was a women's duty to pass on the Byakugan. The women of the Hyuga clan were told that their husbands were to marry in to their clan so as not to lose the fabled bloodline.

Fourthly was the addition of a summoning contract introduced in to the clan and given only to those of any rank who showed unto the head of the clan the "strength of their will and the strength of their hearts" as Hinata put it. The summoning contracts was one with sharks, a little gift Hinata was able to wrangle out of Kisame before she took his sword in rage and rammed it right up his butt using Kakashi's legendary taijutsu technique, cutting the fish man in half down the middle and giving her the right to the sword, which now hung in the "Relic's Shrine" in the Hyuga compound.

Neji smiled at the irony. Hinata said that all this was done because Naruto was her encouragement and she wanted him to see her great achivements for the clan when she said he would return. Neji distinctly remembered Naruto saying that he would change the way the Hyuga was run for the better when he became Hokage. It was ironic that he did nothing but encourage someone to grow a backbone and change the clan themselves, so in an odd way, Naruto fufilled his promise to change their clan.

Now Hinata had reverted back the way when she was a young girl, and the stuttering returned whenever Naruto was around. As Shikamaru would say, troublesome.

The two Hyuga's had been asigned to keep an eye on Naruto incase he was attacked by any villagers wanting to get back at him for letting out Kyubi. From what Naruto had told Haku, and from what Neji lip read from that conversation, Kyubi himself was coming to Konoha to witness the fights. Neji couldn't wait to see what was going to happen when the demon fox arrived. Would it attack? Would it just walk right through? and who was the red head who looked like the yondaime who was currently strangling Naruto?

"Naruto!" Hinata exclaimed as she and Neji lept from their places on the roof. It took a total of five seconds before they saw that the red headed man was using a wrestling move on Naruto. Naruto lay on his stomach on the floor, the red head sitting on his back, pulling Naruto's right leg back, threatning to break it. Haku was watching laughing and pointing at his father.

"Say, your sorry!" the red head demanded.

"Kyu-ouch! Hery stop that-ow! Kyu, come on forgive me?" Naruto begged.

"Auntie Kyu Kyu. Leave tou-san alone" Haku told the person he called 'Auntie Kyu Kyu'. Neji and Hinata looked at each other with confused looks. Neji shrugged as the red head finally got off Naruto. "What have I told you about calling me that? Don't call me AUNTIE!".

"But you look so lady-like" Chibinaru quipped. 'Auntie Kyu Kyu lunged at chibinaru and would have hurt him had Naruto not grabbed him by the legs and began pulling him away from the child.

"Naruto" Neji called.

The three turned to look at Neji and Hinata. "What the hell is going on here? We thought you were being attacked. And who is this man?". The red head growled. "Can it kid. Can't you see we're having a family reunion? Beat it! Scram! Shoo!" he said brushing his hand away from himself as if brushing away crumbs. "Who the hell are you?" Neji demanded. It was then that Kakashi and Iruka showed up with Shizune and Anko right behind them. "Neji, who is this, and why was he attacking Naruto?" Kakashi asked pulling out a kunai.

"I was attacking him, because genius here got caught by you people. He's such an idiot. And does he evn bother to send me a message by mail or Kyubi-P? Noooo. I have to hurry on over to Konoha, leaving my precious farm in the hands of a party animal, all to save his sorry ass" the man shouted, "So excuse me if I can't attack my god-son's father".

Neji's face drew blank. "Your god-son's father? Wait you mean, Chibinaru is your god-son? How do you know the Uzumakis?" Neji demanded dropping in to a battle stance. The red head rolled his eyes. "People in this village want all the details, can I just give a cliffnotes version? Well tough shit anyway".

Hinata felt a famillier force around the red head. Kakashi, Iruka, Shizune and Anko also knew this feeling but couldn't place it, the memory of this aura was lost in the vaults of their (Perverted-Kakashi, Medicine full-Shizune, Schooling-Iruka, Psychotic-Anko) minds.

"I know Haku because I was there when he was born. He still has my chakra running through him. And I was there when Naruto was born. I also spent Eighteen Fing years sealed up inside that guys gut. The only good thing about it is that I got a good suply of ramen. Yes ladies and Gentlemen. I am the ex-king of demons, and ex-demon, Kyubi no Kitsune of the great Bijuu, now who are mostly extinct as pure demons, me especially!".

Sakura collapsed on the sofa outside Tsunade's office as the Kazekage talked with the Hokage. She expected a tougne lashing from her master when this was over. Sakura winced as the door slammed open. Fortunately for her it was the door in to the reception office. There in the doorway stood Kakashi, Shizune, Iruka, Anko, Chibinaru, Naru, Obito, Naruto and a red haire man who looked strikingly like the Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

"Sakura get the Hokage now" Kakashi said firmly and forcefully. The red head was bound up as Sakura looked at him. She couldn't help but blush at his handsome features. "Yo" the red head told her as Anko dragged him along by a rope made of a snake, a python to be exact.

Sakura banged on the door to the Hokage's office. "Come in" her master called. Kakashi and the others pushed passed Sakura follwed by Naruto and the children. Sakura followed only to meet with the Kazekage, his wife, son, brother, sister, brother-in-law, ex-sensei, guard, Hiashi Hyuga, Homura, Koharu, Tsume Inuzuka, Shibi Aburame, Ino and Sai, Chouza Akimichi and Konohamaru Sarutobi.

"Ya know it's really getting cramped in here" Tsume commented.

"LEAVE AUNTIE KYU KYU ALONE YOU PSYCHO SNAKE BITCH!" Haku demanded ramming his small fists in to Anko's legs.

"DON'T CALL MY KAA-SAN A PSYCHO SNAKE BITCH!" Naru defended.

"SHE'S HURTING MY AUNTIE KYU KYU!"

"DAMN IT HAKU! IT'S UNCLE KYU KYU. GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL. I KNOW IT'S NOT AS THICK AS YOUR FATHERS".

"THAT WAS UNCALLED FOR KYU"

"AHH, GO SCREW A POCKY STICK"

"DON'T SWEAR INFRONT OF CHILDREN!"

"WHY ARE WE YELLING?" Miso asked joining in. Everyone turned to look at the little child who's face broke out in to a cheeky grin. Naruto ans Kyubi looked down at Miso with curious eyes. "Oh shit it's Shukaku as a kid, only this time he has red hair. What happened Shukaku, get shrunk by messing with my stuff again?" Kyubi asked the child.

"Hey, I'm not Shukaku. I'm Miso!"

"Who's the kids parents? He thinks he's a ramen flavour?" Naruto asked around the room. "No my name is Miso. Who are you?" Miso demanded. Kyubi looked at Naruto and shrugged. "Hn, Haku looks has some resemblence to me when I was a kid so it's probably the same with the kid of the Shukaku's jinchurikki".

"Probably" Naruto agreed.

Tsunade looked at Naruto, well she didn't look at Naruto she kept her head down and her eyes under her forehead. She had not forgotten the look he had given her when he had spat in her face, the look of pure rage and anger. She doubted he would forgive her. But now was not the time.

"Kakashi why have you come in to my office with this man?" she asked.

"This is no man, Hokage-sama" Kakashi told her.

"Of course I am".

"If he isn't a man then is he a woman?"

"No a demon"

"What?"

"This man is the Kyubi no Kitsune".

0000000000000000000000000000000000000

"These people are very anti-social" Kyubi stated as he sat back to back with Naruto on a prison chair, both bond by chains and various other means of escape prevention. "No wonder Orochimaru wanted to get rid of these people. They were rivals in the art of anti-socialism". Beneth their feet was a drawn chakra supressor, the two men were growing tired with every ounce of chakra they tried to use.

"You're telling me. I don't even know why I'm tied up. And what's happening to Chibinaru?" Naruto asked Sasuke who stod guard over the duo. Sasuke sneered at Naruto and walked over to him. "You really are a dobe" the dark haired Uchiha gloated. "Putting a child in the care of a demon".

"Ex-demon, thank you very much" Kyubi quipped.

Sasuke ignored him or tried to anyway. "I wonder who will win our little battle next month Naruto-kun?"

"A MONTH? That scheming old bitch! When I get my hands on her I'll..."

"You'll what dobe?" Sasuke asked. "Kill her? Beat the hell out of her?". Sasuke took pleasure in goading Naruto to lose his cool. "When we have our battle, it'll be intresting to see who will be victorious". Naruto raised a blonde eyebrow at the bastard who stood before him. "What do you mean shit-face?" the blonde asked. Naruto had to hand it to him, the Uchiha knew how to keep his cool.

Sasuke smirked and stepped away from Naruto. "Well, your furry little friend..."

"Who you calling furry little, duck-butt head?" Kyubi demanded struggling against his chains.

"...as I was saying, you no longer have his power to rely on any more Naruto. It's all just you. I want to know how strong you are now".

"You gonna rely on your hicky from the paedophile?" Naruto asked shooting a smirk at Sasuke. The dark haired Uchiha grinned before dropping to eye level. "I no longer have the curse seal any more dobe. Just like you no longer have the power of the king of bijuu. It's intresting about them actually. Ichibi through to shichibi were either returned to some of their containers, reviving them, or they were destroyed if there were no jinchurikki body waiting for them. Hachibi remains a jinchurikki, but Kyubi, the king of all bijuu is now a humble farmer, trapped in a clone. I must admit that blood clone jutsu you created is really suprising".

"How do you know what it's called?" Naruto demaded struggling against his bonds. Sasuke smirked. "Ino. Remember she was in your head. She learned about a couple of your jutsu. Fuuton: World Shaking, Fuuton: Boom Bubble, spiral twister, winds of protection, healing winds, Diamond storm, Kohenkyu, Fox leaf arrow head, Fox tail inferno, dragon wheel, spirit strike, amythest wind, rice cord madala, talismen sheild, Fox seal, kosengeki, touhakken, Bonhitsusen and the one you used against Chouji" Sasuke said ticking his fingers as he listed each one. "Interesting, Ino was very descriptive of these, but I can't copy them by just listening. And I still don't know the fabled rasengan. So I'll be having loads of fun at our battle, just don't forget any jutsu".

"Why did you waste time just listing my jutsus teme?" Naruto scowled. "Isn't it bad enough I'm in this hellhole you call a home, but you have to be all high and mighty by coming in to my personal space and pissing me off?".

Sasuke turned and threw a smirk at the two. "Have fun, the Kazekage and Hokage should be along any minute for you" he said.

The door closed and Kyubi screamed.

"I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him" the red head cried. "He knew all about your jutsus. Kill that Ino girl when you fight her. Make her pay, that damn bitch. Doesn't she know better than to tell the Uchiha. Kid when you fight him take out those eyes of his. I forever regret giving my second vessel the Sharingan!".

It was true. Centuries ago the Kyubi had been trapped in a couple of vessels, giving each one a bloodline limit. Amoung them were the Sharingan, the Byakugan and the Dead bone pulse. Naruto had been his ninth jinchurikki, having killed all of his other vessels long after they had pro-created. He hated them all. The descendents of most of them to. Excpet for probably the Hyugas and Chibinaru.

Naruto growled.

"If Haku is hurt in any way, I'm going to pull an Itachi on a grand scale, and the village hidden in the leaves will be nothing more than a sentence in an old history book" Naruto exclaimed. Kyubi nodded, suddenly realisation dawned on him. "Naruto. Why haven't you used flash step to get out of here?" the red head asked. Naruto furrowed his brow deeply. He looked right in to Kyubi's eyes and said "I've been trying to but it's like I've suddenly become like Rock Lee. I can't use my chakra".

"You don't think they've put a seal on you?"

"If they had then someone has to be maintaining it and something must be hiding it. I can't use any of my jutsu. Not even my chakra control exercises. Walking on water was a flump, I could grasp the tree, my punches and strong enough, I don't even want to try walking on air. It's like I haven't even got any chakra".

Kyubi scowled. "This is bad. Do you think they intend to keep you here and use that seal to cause you to lose your fights so they'll have you in the palm of their hands".

"I don't think they put it one Haku. He can use his kawaii ton jutsu and the hentai jutsus with no problems. I think they didn't know he could use chakra".

The door opened as Naruto finished he turned to scowl but came face to face with his old friends and fellow jinchurikki. Gaara of the sand. Kazekage of Wind countries hidden shinobi village, Sunagakure no sato. Next to him stod his clocked guard and Tsunade. At his legs was a child clinging on to his legs. Naruto was given a minute before he got the wind knocked out of him by Chibinaru who had headbutted his stomach. "TOU-SAN. AUNTIE KYU KYU" the child cried.

"WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT CALLING ME THAT?"

Haku simply dug his face in to his father's stomach. Already Naruto could feel the shirt getting damp from the child's tears. "Haku. Shhsshh" Naruto spoke. He planted his chin ontop of Haku's head as if he were hugging the child. He probably would be had he not been tied up. Kyubi rolled his eyes at the scene. "Someone please get me a barf bag" he said to the other four others in the room. "Hey, old hag, you got a barf bag I could use? This mushy stuff is putting me to an early grave".

Tsunade's features grew darker and she sneered at the red headed man. "You wish. I have half a mind to tie you up in the middle of the square right now and let the villagers have their way with you" she said maliciously. Kyubi narrowed his eyes at her as she walked up face to face with the prisoner. "Demon" she called him.

Kyubi snorted. "Tsu-babe, I haven't been a demon in nearly a decade. I'm all man now. As powerful as three kage's, but all man. Maybe you'd like to see how much of a man I am" he said to her. Tsunade recoiled bacwards. "Are you...flirting with me?" she asked him. Naruto and Haku snickered from where they sat. "And what if I am?" Kyubi asked as slyly as only a fox can. Tsunade responded by punching him in the face sending him flying in to the wall behind them. "Then I would have to do something like that" she said cracking her knuckles meceningly.

Naruto's attention returned to Haku who began pulling on the hem of the red jacket Naruto always wore. "Tou-san. Everyone's being mean to me" the little child said as tears began to swell up in his eyes. "Obito-teme and Naru-teme say Auntie Kyu Kyu is a demon and Naru-teme is bllying me because I called his kaa-san a bitch when she hurt Auntie Kyu Kyu. Now people are talking and saying mean things about Auntie Kyu Kyu".

"Let 'em say it. I have nothing to hide. They can all go screw pockey sticks for all I care" Kyubi exclaimed as Tsunade dragged his chair back in to the centre of the interogation room.

Haku however continued to tear up. "But it's upsetting" he sniffed.

"Tsunade let me out of here. I'm gonna do an Itachi on a gran scale".

"Not on my watch you're not demon" Tsunade growled. Haku clung on to his father. "Tou-san, obaa-chan is hurting auntie Kyu Kyu". Tsunade froze before pouncing on Haku. "Ooohh, you called be baa-chan. Come on Haku-chan, granny's gonna teach you how to drink sake". She picked up Haku before turning away.

"Don't even think about it. I'm supposed to teach him how to drink when he's old enough" Kyubi demanded struggling.

Tsunade however ignored him. Her face displayed a look of euphoria, as if she had been drugged with pure tranquility. Her eyes sparkled and she had a skip in her step. At that moment she forgot what Naruto had done to her to spend time with her now appointed surrogate grandson. "Is she even listening to me?" Kyubi asked. Naruto shook his head. "Let him go Hokage. He's my son, leave him be" Naruto tried to order the old woman. "Shit she has that look". Naruto was refering to the look women got when Haku said something cute either to them or about them in their pressence. "She'll be out of it for a couple of hours".

Suddenly Naruto noticed another person in the room. "G-gaara?" Naruto asked his old friend. The red red flashed a small smile before the child infront of him, the child who had been at the meeting, pounced on Naruto. "Ne, ne. You're Naruto-otooji? You're hair isn't as messy as the photo's. Tou-san said you liked orange. Why aren't you wearing orange? Do you wanna go get ramen? I love ramen. I know lots and lots of jutsu. Do you know any jutsu? Do..." the child was cut off by his father. "Miso that is enough. You're not giving him enough time to answer any of your questions. Take a deep breathe, and speak slowly and clearly" the kazekage told his son as he kneeled down, putting a comforting hand on the child's back.

Naruto raised a blonde eyebrow. "Miso?" he asked, profoundly confused by the sand child's name. Gaara looked up at Naruto with a sparkle in his eye. "Teuchi-san said it was your favourite flavour of ramen. I believed that you obtained your attitude from being named after ramen so I have named my son accordingly. I see Umino Naruto and your son, share in these qualities. I believe I was right".

Tsunade, Kyubi and Naruto heared this and sweatdropped. It was the curse of the Ramen-related name. Hyperactive, loud, boistrous and somewhat annoying. It was probably worse as Gaara and his village probably encouraged it. "Hey, Naruto-otooji, can me an Haku-itoko go play? Huh, tou-san, hakufu, Haku-chan. Pllllleeeeaaaassssseeee?" Miso asked. Naruto looked at Gaara. "What is it with him calling me uncle and Haku his cousin?". Gaara shook his head. "I have no idea. Then again I don't understand a lot about Miso. I blame kage-ship".

"Is there even such a word?"

"There is now".

Naruto turned to Tsunade. "That's another reason why I don't wanna be Hokage. I'd never have any time for just me and Haku". Tsunade growled at him. "Listen pest, it's mostly paperwork anyway". Naruto scoffed at her. Tsunade glowered at him. "Even after all these years you still haven't figured it out?" he asked her. "Pitiful". Tsunade, for the moment, forgot about the shamefullness she had been feeling since she had first re-encountered Naruto and retorted in to his face. "Well if your so high and mighty, mind telling me how to solve that problem?" she asked.

All Naruto replied with was two simple words. "Shadow Clones". Tsunade smacked her face and began to storm off. But before she could open the door Naruto called out to her. "Hey, ol' Hag!". Tsunade hoped that Naruto would give her a smile and say it was good to see her again, and to say he missed her. She turned around with a smile on her face. "Yes" she asked expectedly. "Care to put down Haku-chan. I don't think he can take the mental trauma of people being punched eight ways from monday".

Tsunade noticed the little boy still in her arms, who incidently was nearly falling asleep in her 'girls'. She blushed a little red before patting Haku on the back and placing him down on the floor where Miso grapsed on to him. "Come on Haku-chan. We gotta go. I know this place near Auntie Tema's place, it sell all these wicked mangas. There's one about an orange haired guy, whose a shinigami, and another about a magical girl with super cards". The blonde haired child was dragged out by the red haired one at break neck speed.

Naruto turned to Gaara and gave him a smile. "That reminds me of me and you. Only the blonde was happy and the red head was unsure". Gaara nodded before creating a chair out of his sand and sitting on it. "Now it is in reverse" the kazekage noted to his old friend.

"So, how's Shukaku these days? Still yelling?" Kyubi asked about his fellow ex-demon lord. Gaara turned to the fellow red head before speaking once again. "He is silent for the most part. I still despise the fact that he in within me again. But I am sure it was needed to stop Akatsuki and anyone else for sharing my fate". He returned his gaze towards Naruto. "So you are to participate in this tournement within one months time?" Gaara asked.

"They blackmailed me"

"How?" the other two asked.

"My summons the toads. I forgot I had them-"

"Idiot"

"-and they're using that as an advantage. Kyubi you know all about Haku and toads. I can't tell him that. I can't let him know. It would be a disaster" Naruto admitted. Kyubi nodded whilst Gaara looked confused. "Naruto. What is it with Haku and toads?". The blonde motioned for Gaara to lean in closer. The kazekage complied and the blonde whispered in his ear. "Ohh" Gaara exclaimed.

Okay chapter 6 is done and up. Chapter seven will focus on the month before the tournament.

I hope you all liked my explaination about how and why Naruto can't leave the hidden leaf. His chakra is messed up by a seal and he's annoyed about it.

I added the Sasuke bit to give Naruto a reason in later chapters to either take Sasuke out before his fights with the others or to not use all of his jutsu just so Sasuke could steal them.

Miso is supposed to be the anti-Gaara and a subversion of a neo-Naruto.

I will not reveal why Haku and Toads don't mix (yet). But rest assured it will be very climactic (or anti-claimatic depending on what I decide it it, currently I have three choices).

Read and Review please.

Thanks to all the others who have commented about my contest. I hope to read those fics soon.
