Ok, hopefully this chapter is better then the last!

I don't own anybody or anything on Naruto, lets leave it at that.

Kabuto's Roll As A Dad

Chapter 3

With one swift movement Kyuubi punched Kabuto in the stomach, he coughed up blood and went flying backwards. "DIE!" Kyuubi roared and started flinging quick punches at his head.

There was nothing he could do, everything he tried Kyuubi was able to stop him. He had never been very good at close combat. It went on for who knows how long. Kyuubi bashing Kabuto's brains out with hits from every direction until Kyuubi threw Kabuto to the side, landing with a splash in the water.

"Don't you dare hurt him anymore!" Naruto threatened inside Kyuubi's head.

"Humph, and what do you plan to do about it!? Besides, I thought you hated him. Wasn't he your enemy a second ago?" Kyuubi replied as he walked closer to Kabuto, who was lying face up in the lake's surface, bleeding badly.

"He was, and still could be but, things have changed."

"Like I give a damn." He replied and lifted his fist, readying the final blow.

"I, won't let you!" Naruto reported and Kyuubi felt his body becoming numb.

He cringed and looked to the side, suddenly he was falling backwards and was back into his prison. "Damn-you-gaki…"

Kabuto opened his eyes and looked up at Naruto. His blue eyes were back to normal but he still had Kyuubi's chakra around him. "Naruto I'm sorry." He said weakly. Naruto nodded then walked towards Sasuke's wet drifting corpse and heaved it onto his shoulder. He walked back to Kabuto who still lay bleeding in the water. "I'm sorry, I really am." He said again as Naruto bent down beside him.

"I know, its ok." He picked up Kabuto and swung him over his other shoulder. "I'm taking you back to Konoha so Tsunade can deal with you though."

Kabuto's eyes widened surprise and quickly turned to icy fear. "W-What…? Oh god no! SHE'LL BEAT ME TO A FRIGGEN PULP! EVEN MORE THEN KYUUBI DID!" he screamed and tried to get himself off of Naruto, but since he had Kyuubi's power out his strength was just the same, he held tight. "No please Naruto! Don't take me there! NOOOOOOoooooooo!!"

Naruto jumped into the trees, they were off.

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

Tsunade sat peacefully at her desk, enjoying a nice hard cup of brandy when Shizune burst through the doors, panting. "Tsunade Sama, Naruto and the others are back!" she huffed and collapsed in the doorway holding her chest. Tsunade shot up, spilling her brandy over the desk and running out the door, leaving Shizune laying on the ground gasping for air. "Jeez, thanks for the help, Tsunade Sama!"

Tsunade ran down to Konoha's main gates and met a very injured but happy crew. Medic ninjas were already at their assistance and were healing their wounds as best they could. She looked around, Chouji was unconscious and looked quite dead from what she could see, Neji wasn't any better either, Shikamaru and Kiba didn't look to bad but they definitely needed touching up, and the sand siblings stood with Lee beside them. That's when she saw Naruto. His clothes were torn up and drenched with blood but by the looks of it he was unharmed, though she noticed a light red chakra fluttering around him. Draped over his shoulders he held an unmoving Sasuke and a struggling, beaten up Kabuto. "Give Kiba and Shikamaru proper attention NOW, and get Neji and Chouji to emergency immediately!" she ordered and ran over to help Naruto, Kakashi and Sakura at her side.

Kakashi whacked Kabuto hard over the head, calming him down a bit, or more like stunning him, then took him from Naruto. Tsunade and Sakura quickly put Sasuke gently on the ground and knew instantly it was too late for him. Naruto looked to Sasuke and then to Sakura, tears had started to flow down her cheeks. Kyuubi's chakura slowly started to die down. "I'm sorry Sakura Chan, there was nothing I could do, if I didn't he would have killed me too." He said and saw her shake her head, trying her best to put on a happy smile towards him.

"No Naruto, its ok, you kept your promise and brought him back to me. I'm glad your ok, and thank you." With that she got up and walked off, wiping tears from her eyes.

Tsunade sat on the ground next to Sasuke, she looked up towards Naruto. "Come on Naruto, lets get you to the hospital." She said and stood up.

Naruto nodded and looked at Kabuto, who was currently tied tightly up with Kakashi's piercing wire. He looked back at Tsunade. "Please don't be harsh on him, he saved my life from Orochimaru. I don't think he's our enemy anymore." He said and started walking slowly to the hospital, leaving Tsunade standing there, a blank looked on her face as she stared at Kabuto who was sulking on the ground before her and Kakashi.

----------O.o----------

Three days went by which quickly turned into a week and then a month. Sakura had started to act happier around people as she moved on from Sasuke's death, Chouji and Neji had recovered fully and had gone back to they're old ways, like eating potato chips with Shikamaru and rambling on about "destiny" and "chosen fates". Kabuto had been beaten into shape by Tsunade, in which she had punished him by reducing his ninja rank to academy student, just to embarrass him. He had quickly moved back to Jonin level however by doing various smaller missions for the village, ANBU supervised him twenty four seven until Tsunade decided he was trust worthy enough to let him settle down in the village.

Naruto stood at the front door of his apartment, fiddling with his keys and cursing as his groceries ripped through the bag and thudded to the floor. "Damn eggs better not be cracked!" he muttered to himself as he unlocked the door and turned on the light. He was about to walk in when he heard somebody call his name. He turned to look who was making such a racket and found Kabuto running down the hall, waving a couple white papers above his head excitedly.

"NARUTO! NARUTO!"

"Yeah, what?" he asked curiously as Kabuto came to a halt beside him, trying to catch his breath.

"I just had another meeting with Tsunade and she finally trusts me now! You won't believe what it says on these papers Naruto!" he said, waving the papers in Naruto's face.

He couldn't take it anymore, he had to know! "WHAT?!" he snatched the papers from Kabuto's gripped and looked at them excitedly, just as Kabuto spoke…

Naruto, I'm your new dad!" he said enthusiastically. The piece of paper was a certificate for adoption.

Naruto looked at it blankly, for twelve years he had always wanted a dad and finally he had a dad, no matter how weird Kabuto was, he still had a dad! There was only one problem though. He looked up to Kabuto, his mouth agape. "Aren't you like, two or three years older then me?" he asked and looked back at the papers, not able to believe what he just heard.

"Well, I guess you can just call me an older brother but those papers say that I'm your new daddy! Isn't that great? YIPPEE, I'M REALLY A DAD!"

Naruto didn't know what to say, he only stared with his mouth open at Kabuto, in the doorway. Kabuto started to rub the back of his neck, grinning. With that, Naruto happily tackled his newly acquired parent to the hallway floor.

The rookie nine all had a celebration party for Naruto and Kabuto at Ichiraku's and ate Ramen all night long. The next day, Naruto woke up to a clean house. One of the reasons why Orochimaru had always liked Kabuto was because he was a clean freak and kept his hide out spick and span. So Kabuto couldn't stand mess, which was Naruto's middle name. He yawned and stepped out of bed, his feet instantly slipping into his slippers which were neatly beside his bed and went to the kitchen for a glass of water, taking it out of a cold organized refrigerator with newly bought fruits and vegetables, which Naruto was really lacking. He went into the bathroom and stepped into a sparkling shower. He was surprised that there wasn't anymore rust stains on his showerhead and found that the room had a nicer aroma inside it. "I have one awesome dad." He thought and noticed that the water even looked better coming out of the tap of the white sink he had always thought was dark brown. A knock came from the bathroom door and Naruto opened it revealing Kabuto who smiled and waved. He was dressed in a pink frilly apron, a gray feather duster in his right hand and a spatula in his other.

"I made breakfast, son!" he said giddily and grinned.

Though the food was inedible Naruto enjoyed the thought of having somebody else do the chores around the house, even if Kabuto couldn't cook. Naruto was going on a small mission with Sakura and Lee for the day and was getting ready to leave when Kabuto stopped him on his way out. "Wait Naruto, you forgot your lunch!" he said and handed him a paper bag.

Naruto took at it worriedly. "Its not leftovers from breakfast is it?" he asked as he sniffed the bag.

Kabuto whacked him over the head. "Of course not! Why would I want to kill my own son, baka. Well anyway, have a good day! And don't talk to strangers!" he added.

"I'm not going to answer to that!" Naruto replied sarcastically and ran off to meet Sakura and Lee who were waiting by Konoha's front gates, Kabuto waving him goodbye with a handkerchief.

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

A ninja in dirty black and torn clothes walked in through Konoha's gates, his long strait black cape fluttering behind him as he past the gate guards who let him pass as he showed them his ID, he was just somebody else passing through. He walked by a pink hared shinobi who was waving and calling for somebody to get his butt over there. Next to her stood a shinobi wearing green spandex with thick black eyebrows who was waving his hands in the air and yelling for his friend to use the springtime of youth and hurry up. The man turned his head to a young ninja in orange as he ran up to greet his fellow shinobi friends. The man had only one thought in mind. "Prey."
