Chapter 5
"Demon!"
"I knew we couldn't trust him here!" Naruto looked around him. "What did I do? I didn't even harm you people!"
"Get him! He destroyed the village! He destroyed everything!"
Naruto looked up and saw his Chichiue standing over him getting kunai blades thrown at him. People running past him with swords in their hands. With a bright light coming at his Chichiue. Chichiue! Watch out!
--
Startled from his dream Naruto flung himself out of his bed.
Naruto looked outside the window and sighed. "I wonder if everyone is okay…" Reverting back to his fox form he looked at his palms.
Naruto? What is it kit? Did something happen?Naruto looked around the rom thinking his Chichiue was somewhere there. His Chichiue's voice startled him, or rather his Chichiue's voice sounded startled.
No Chichiue, it was just a bad dream…Naruto thought liking the comfort of his Chichiue's voice. I'm fine now…
It was more like a bad memory… Naruto didn't know what his Chichiue was talking about.
Chichiue?
Hearing his Chichiue sigh he decided not to pursue the matter, You should get some sleep Kit. Tomorrow is another day worth seeing.
Hai Chichiue! Smiling Naruto climbed back into the sheets and tried to fall asleep. He remembered that his father would always tell him that before he would go to bed. Feeling like his father's arms were wrapped around him Naruto fell into sleep remembering when he was a kit.
--Flashbacku!
A small Naruto of the age of three was sleeping in his bed struggling to keep to sleep. The wind outside was frightening him. He would usually sleep with his Chichiue or Gaara-nii. But his Chichiue decided that he needed to learn to sleep by himself. Hearing another gust of wind blow the tree branches against the stone Naruto was fed up he was too scared.
Bawling hoping that someone would come and rescue him from the vicious wind outside. But nobody came. Naruto was now really scared. What if the wind ate them all up!
"CHICHIUE!" He screamed at the top of his lungs. Hearing a thump above him Naruto was getting more scared then before. What if some monster ate Chichiue? What if it's coming after me next!
Hearing the patter of someone running down from his father's chambers Naruto hid under his bed leaving the sheets all messed up, muttering as quietly as possible, "Don't eat me scary monster. Don't eat me scary monster."
Hearing his door slam open he heard someone run into the room lighting it up with flame. Naruto peeked out from under his bed and saw feet.
"Naruto?" Searching around the room the monster was frantically trying to find the young Kyuubi. The monster knows my name! It's going to eat me!
"Naruto? Where are you! Oh god no… Naruto where are you!"
Naruto peeked out from under his bed again seeing not a monster but his father looking everywhere. "Chichiue?"
Kyuubi looked down on the floor and saw a tuft of blonde hair. Kyuubi bent down on the floor kneeling by the bed. "Naruto?"
Naruto climbed out from his hiding spot with tears in his eyes. "Chichiue! I'm so scared, I thought a monster ate you and was coming after me!"
Kyuubi hugged his son close to him. "Naruto don't ever scare me like that again! I thought that you were kidnapped by some humans. Thank god you're okay…"
"Did you eat the monster Chichiue?" Kyuubi knew what his son was talking about. Kyuubi told Naruto about humans, that they were truly monsters. "Yes I did my son, now you need to go to sleep. Carrying Naruto to his bed Kyuubi settled him down and rubbed his nose against Naruto's as a good night kiss.
Getting up Kyuubi felt a tug on his night garments. Looking down he saw Naruto with his bottom lip sticking out. Sighing Kyuubi laid down next to him. "I stay here for a little while. You should get some sleep Naruto, tomorrow is another day worth seeing." Naruto smiled and cuddled up next to him. Falling asleep almost immediately. Dimming the fires Kyuubi started drifting off to sleep as well. Oh well one more night wouldn't hurt. But that landing sure did hurt my head…
--End Flashbaku!
Naruto sighed as he woke up from yet another dream. This time it was morning nearly sunrise. About the time he would usually get up for training. Stretching his muscles he got out from the futon that was laid out for him last night. Sasuke taught him how to take one out and how to put it back away, since he wasn't really that used to sleeping on the floor.
"I have to admit that sleeping on the floor was the greatest sleep of my life. I guess I'm returning to my animal instincts." He said sheepishly to no one in particular. Since Naruto was the only one the room. "Gotta work hard today!" Hearing a growling Naruto looked down and patted his belly. "There, there not without having breakfast first!"
Jumping up from the floor Naruto ran out from his bedroom, and outside into the courtyard as Sasuke called it. It was perfect for Naruto to practice in.
Naruto smelled the faint smell of meat cooking. Also of eggs being cooked. "Blegh. If Dei ever heard that I ate eggs he'd be pecking at me for years."
"Who's Dei?" Asked someone from behind him. Naruto turned around but saw no one there. Genuinely freaked out Naruto ran to where the smell of food was coming from. Entering through the door Naruto saw Sasuke cooking.
Sasuke turned around at the sound of the door sliding open. "Ah there you are Naruto; I didn't know when you were going to get up so I decided to start breakfast. Naruto saw a whole assortment. Smaller portions then what he'd usually see but then again it was just the two of them and not hundreds of people.
"Dig in…" Sasuke was sitting down waiting for Naruto to eat the food.
Naruto took anything with meat and fruit. I'm actually sorry to say but this stuff is better then what they give us at home. It's all cooked and stuff.
Sasuke stared and then took his portions of the breakfast. Naruto looked up from his plate and saw a beautiful woman hugging Sasuke. An man sitting on Sasuke's right and a young adult sitting on the left of Sasuke. Blinking they were all gone but their presence was still there.
"Um.. Sasuke, is this place haunted?" Sasuke looked up with a questioning face.
"How so?"
"Well I just saw a man sitting right there, another guy sitting there, and a woman was hugging you!"
Sasuke gave off a look that looked like 'what the hell are you talking about?'
"It's true! The first man was wearing a kimono and was drinking a cup of something the woman was telling you how cute and handsome you are. And the boy with the long hair was telling her that she was embarrassing you."
Sasuke was really wondering what had gotten to the boys head. Naruto looked around the room and saw a picture hanging up in the other room. Standing up Naruto went into the room and left Sasuke to wonder what he was doing. When Naruto stopped he saw a picture of the three people he saw and a younger boy they were all smiling.
Another picture was hanging standing up of the two boys and the younger one was sitting in the older ones lap. They were smiling. Looking around he saw many pictures of people who he didn't see but they were all so happy. The young boy was surrounded by many others and the older by many that seemed to be in his age group.
Looking closely at the older boy Naruto realized something. "Itachi nii-san…?"
"How do you know his name?" Naruto turned around and looked at Sasuke.
"You know him too?" Sasuke nodded. "He was my older brother. My nii-san." Naruto looked shocked.
"Itachi-nii was your brother! Where is he now I haven't seen him in forever!" Sasuke looked down at the floor. As Naruto ran around the house trying to find him.
"He's dead… Along with the rest of them. They all died 6 years ago."
Naruto was stunned. So the ghosts were all of them? He thought while looking at the large picture with the hundreds of people on it.
"My brother was a prodigy amongst us Uchiha. My father was the heir so when Itachi was born he was given the title of heir to the Uchiha family. My brother wasn't interested in that sort of thing, he.." Getting cut off by Naruto.
"He wanted to see great things in his life. He wanted to travel around everywhere, see sights and study my kind."
"He never told me he met an animal god…"
"Yup he was very nice to me, he'd give me fruit and he'd play with me for a little bit until he had to go home. Come to think of it he always wore those really strange masks and stuff when he came to find me."
"Well, I need to go out and train! I always do that after a great breakfast. Thanks by the way!" Naruto ran out of the Main house leaving Sasuke by himself studying the picture of his Nii-san and himself.
--
Naruto wandered around in the forest behind the Uchiha estate. I wonder what I can do right now. Naruto took out his Kunai blades and checked them first.
"Wow, Chichiue's kunai are really sharp and well taken care of." Searching inside his mind seeing if he could contact his father he saw it was all fuzzy. "Chichiue must be asleep."
"Now to get on practicing." placing his hands in the symbol of a ram and duplicating himself into about 20 people. (1) All of them having a mind of their own.
"Well boys, come at me with all you got!" All of the duplications came after him with full force. Naruto dodging everyone of their attacks. Kunai blades coming at him, dodging them with almost perfect speed only one of them hitting him. But he turned into a log and slashed the duplicate that threw it at him. After they were all gone Naruto looked at his clothes. Cuts and blood seeping through them. "Damn… I need to go change..." Watching as the cuts healed up almost instantly.
--
Once Naruto got back to the main house he saw it was about Noon time. And he smelled the smell of lunch. Naruto went into the dining room against o see Sasuke preparing lunch again for Naruto. "You don't need to do that you know… I can cook." As much as people thought he couldn't because he was a prince. He could in fact cook wonderful meals. The head chef once taught him how to cook and then it just became a habit of learning.
Sasuke looked at Naruto and went back to cooking like he didn't hear Naruto's words. Naruto sat down infuriated that Sasuke paid no heed to his words. "You're my guest so I should cook for you."
Naruto took out the Kunai blades and went to sit outside to sharpen them until lunch was ready. Looking at them again, studying their texture. Naruto studied them for a minute, these weapons were used by my Chichiue… They're in such good condition it's as if he's never used them.
I've used them only once in my life Kit…
Jumping almost a foot in the air Naruto looked around and then sighed. Chichiue, you scared me. I thought you were asleep…
I was… But then your constant thinking woke me up… Hearing his Father chuckle Naruto growled and looked at Sasuke who was wondering what the heck was going on with the Kyuubi.
Chichiue, you're making Sasuke look at me strangely…
That isn't me Kit. It's all you… Chuckling once again making Naruto blush.
Growling again getting the same look from Sasuke…You're lucky that I'm not there Chichiue. Or I would have pounced on you minutes ago.
I wish you were here Kit. He heard his father sight to him
What's wrong Chichiue?
Everyone is in an uproar. Especially Orochimaru, he is demanding to know where you are.
Have you told him anything? Naruto said worriedly.
Nah, I keep telling him that if he was your mate he should be able to sense where you are.
You're right Chichiue… you said that Kaa-san would be able to sense you from three countries over.
That's right, Naruko could do that…
Chichiue, do you miss Kaa-san?
Of course I do… I miss her everyday. Just like I'm missing you right now…
Thanks Chichiue, but Sasuke says that it is time for Lunch. I talk to you later… and please don't tell Orochimaru where I'm at. He'd kill everyone if he knew I was here amongst the humans. Naruto was really scared about his Chichiue. He gave him practically all of his Chakra which left him defenseless. Orochimaru could easily defeat him. His father was risking his life to keep Naruto safe. Also to keep Sasuke safe.
I know my son… I'll keep him delayed until you come back. He's going to come bursting through that door in 5, 4, 3, 2… Naruto could feel his father flinch either that or a headache coming on.
"Naruto are you going to eat luch?" Naruto nodded and went back into the house to eat.
-- In the Animal Kingdom!
Kyuubi sat up in his bed looking at his hands…What have I done to leave my son there with the humans?
"Are you listening to me Your Majesty?"
"Oh… Um sorry Orochimaru-san. I was in my own little world for a second there." He said sheepishly.
"What I was saying is that the Eternal Mating Ceremony is in 2 months from now. And if Naruto is gone for that long then you would be breaking your promise… My father is expected to show up in that amount of time to witness it."
"I know Orochimaru-san… But if Naruto ran away then there is nothing I can do. I'm nearly bedridden right now and I can hardly even sit up like this."
Hearing someone knock at the door Kyuubi allowed entrance. Seeing Gaara coming through the door Kyuubi smiled. "Gaara, what honor do I have to see you today?"
Gaara looked at his father and then at the floor. "Neji says that you need to come to the nest of the all seeing as soon as possible. So he sent Kakashi-sensei and I here to help you over there."
"Well isn't that nice. Excuse me then Orochimaru-san… I will have to talk to you later…" Orochimaru bowed to Kyuubi and left the room. Kyuubi sat upright in his bedroom and watched as Kakashi came over and moved the sheets away from Kyuubi. Helping him stand up. Kyuubi then stood on shi feet and started walking towards the door with the help of his adopted son.
-- The nest!
Dei looked out the window seeing a nest outside of birds. That was where all the children were born if they were bird. The snakes were born in an underground cavern . And any mammal based god they were born according to gender in the wings of the nest.
Sighing as the king came into the room Dei straightened his composure and helped Kyuubi to the bed.
"Your majesty? You wouldn't happen to know where Naruto is would you?"
"No chicky…" That was Dei's nickname from Kyuubi. Always has been. "Naruto isn't here…"
"Did he run away again? I'll get him if you want…"
"No he is fine… He just wanted to get away from everything for a while. You know before the ceremony…"
"Right…"
"Which reminds me chicky… You're turning 21 this year aren't you?" Dei blushed and nodded. "That's kind of why I wanted to talk to Naruto."
Dei was the only one in the castle besides Kyuubi who called the prince by his name.
"So who is the lucky guy you're going to mate with? Sasori-sama?" Dei blushed even more and turned around. "Why would you say that Kyuubi-sama?"
"Because I know that you've had a crush on him for years and years now. And I saw that display with you and Sasori a couple days ago… " Dei blushed and turned around to face him. "But what if Sasori-danna doesn't want to be my mate?"
"Then I'll make him…" Kyuubi said with his foxy grin…
"Kyuubi-sama…" Dei said shaking his head. "Get well soon my king…" Dei said kissing him on the cheek. It was a common ritual amongst friends. Once you are done talking you wish your best to them and then kiss them either on the cheek if you are a good friend or on the lips if you are have strong emotional feelings towards that person.
"As to you chicky…Break a wing during your heat!" Kyuubi said kissing him on the cheek as well. Dei rushed out of the room as Neji came in for his check up.
TBC…
Short chapter I know. But hey at least you got to see Dei and the rest and learn more about the age difference between Sasuke and Naruto. A 4 year difference. Not very bad.
Dei is so cute! I love that name for him. Chicky it suits him! Kyuu-sama is awesome! I love him!
According to the zodiac hand signs, the hand symbol that Naruto uses for his Kage Bunshin-no jutsu is the symbol for "Ram"
