A/N: I know there were a lot of complaints about the length of chapter2, but I wanted to hurry and get the second chapter out, let everyone get a little bit of a hint of where I was going with the story. So I apologize for the length of the last chapter, but I hope this one makes up for it. Please review =)
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any other anime/manga I use an element from. If I did, I'd be rich, I wouldn't be writing this, and I wouldn't be going to school. But…I don't…sad day….=(

So'unga placed his hand on Naruto's head and everything went black. Slowly he regained his sight. He appeared to be in Konoha again. He was standing in the middle of the Merchant District but no one was there which was very odd. It was in the middle of the day and the Merchant District was always busy, even at night. He proceeded to walk through the streets, headed in no general direction. It wasn't just the Merchant District, it was the entire village. No one was there. He decided to head to the Hokage building to see if the Sandaime was there or not. He finally arrived at the Hokage building to notice it was empty as well. He slowly walked to the Hokage's office to find it completely black. He couldn't see anything, but he heard something. Suddenly the lights flashed on to reveal a man holding the Sandaime against him with a tonto to his throat. The man was dressed in all black, about 5'10" with a mask on. "Take another step, and the old man dies" the man declared. Naruto struggled with what to do. He wasn't prepared for a situation like this, he didn't have any strong jutsu, and he wasn't physically strong. "Let jiji go you bastard!" Naruto yelled.
The man laughed and pressed the tonto closer to the Sandaime's neck, drawing a thin sliver of blood that trickled down. Naruto was really scared now. He didn't know what to do and he didn't want his jiji to get hurt. "Okay, Okay. Don't hurt him." Naruto bargained and backed up a little. "Good kid. Go back to playing with toys and don't mess with grown up stuff." The man taunted. Now naruto was mad. He hated to be taunted and told he wasn't old enough for grown up things. Add to the fact the man was hurting his jiji, and his anger was reaching a boiling point. "Okay I think I know what to do. Yuki I don't know if you can hear me, but please, if you can, lend me some of your power. Help me save jiji." At first, nothing happened and Naruto thought it was a lost cause. Then, slowly, red chakra started to leak out and surround him. The man was a little nervous about this. This kid who looked to be just a 4 year old was leaking RED chakra. That wasn't normal and he didn't like it. By now the red chakra had fully surrounded Naruto, his whisker marks grew darker and more defined, his canine's grew to look like fangs, and his claws grew longer and sharper, while his hair grew a little and gained a few black streaks. Naruto looked up "You will not hurt jiji! I will save him, I will not be helpless, you will die for this!" Naruto declared in a demonic voice. The man was now scared shitless. He dropped the tonto and pushed the Sandaime away from him and turned to jump out of the window, only to find Naruto in front of him, midair, swinging his claws with the intent to kill. Naruto slashed through the man's midsection, cutting him in half in a shower of blood and gore.
Naruto ran to check on the Sandaime, just to find that it wasn't the real Sandaime. The world faded black again, just to find himself back in the field. So'unga stood there clapping. "You pass the first test young Uzumaki. You didn't hesitate for a second to kill the man who threatened your "family" and insulted you. Not only did you not hesitate, but you killed him in such a way that it showed true power. But don't think that means you pass the second test already, it just means I am impressed with your powers at such a young age. Congratulations, but now, for the second test, you must face me!" So'unga said with an eager face. Naruto didn't look as eager. In fact, he was a little scared. Okay, he was more than a little scared, he was terrified. Killing a man who seemed to have no skill at all was no problem. Killing a demon with such power that a demon lord would use his sword was an entirely different story. But he was determined to pass his test and use him as his own. "Then let's do this! I'm going to pass your test and I will use your power!"
So'unga grinned. "I like your attitude kid. I hope you do pass my test, but that doesn't mean I'm going to go easy on you kid. Now the rules for this test. There are no rules! Are you ready?" So'unga asked. Naruto was far from ready, but he didn't have much choice if he wanted to pass the test. "Yuki, please, I need all your help in this. I need to pass this test" Naruto thought. "Ya! I'm ready to kick your ass and use you!" He declared. So'unga chuckled "Good, then let us begin!" So'unga launched off the ground at a high speed and charged at Naruto. Naruto pumped up the youki he felt coursing through his body and drew his fist back and slammed it into So'unga as he got into range. So'unga tumbled backwards, not expecting the super powered punch. "Not bad you'll have to do better than that!"
So'unga landed on his feet and jumped at Naruto, slashing at him with his claws, cutting him across the cheek. A thin cut appeared with blood trickling from it. Naruto's eyes widened, not expecting such an attack. Naruto lashed out in surprise, the youki on his arm extending off of his arm and taking the shape of a fist and hit So'unga, making him tumble backwards again. "What is with that youki? How can it just change direction and shape like that? Is Naruto even in control of it? By the look on his face I'd have to say he doesn't know what's going on." Naruto ran at So'unga as he was recovering and swung his leg, the youki reaching further and hitting So'unga, but So'unga was prepared this time and blocked, sliding back a few feet. So'unga struck out at Naruto, hitting him, but the youki aura burned So'unga's hand. The burn quickly healed due to So'unga's high speed regeneration but it still hurt. "How can his youki burn me? It would burn a normal human, but my body is accustomed to youki! What is this?" So'unga thought. So'unga snapped his fingers and his sword appeared in a flash.
He darted towards Naruto, intending on finishing the test. The kid had already proven he was more than strong enough to wield him. So'unga slashed at Naruto, cutting through his youki and stopped the blade short of cutting his throat. "Yield Uzumaki, and I shall spare you." So'unga ordered. Naruto was shocked and disappointed. He wanted to win! For awhile he thought he was going to. He was winning for most of the fight as far as he could tell. But then in the span of two seconds, he lost. "I yield, So'unga." Naruto declared as he bowed his head low. "You pass, young Uzumaki. You have shown you are more than strong enough to wield me. You are but the age of 4 and you can hold your own against me for most of the fight. I don't know what kind of power you have that you can use such youki that it has a mind of its own, but it is most powerful and as such, you are powerful to be able to use it. I grant you permission to wield me. As you grow stronger, I will teach you how to wield me. I can speak to you without you entering this place, and as such you may speak to me the same way, all you must do is speak to me through your thoughts." So'unga told him. Naruto was beyond shocked. He had passed? But he lost the fight! He wasn't going to argue of course, it meant he could wield So'unga. "Thank you, So'unga. I will train stronger to wield you more successfully. I will train, and train, to protect the ones I love, and to crush the ones I hate." Naruto declared. "Good, now wake up, and show all the power of So'unga, make them fear the legend of So'unga again!" So'unga exclaimed. Then, for about the fifth time in the span of twenty-four hours, everything went black.
Naruto woke up in the cave, laying on the stone slab. The tentacle was no longer on his arm, and So'unga was laying next to him. "Now how do I carry So'unga without having to carry it around in my hand all day." "Put me on your back and I'll do the rest." Naruto jumped, surprised, then he remembered what So'unga said about speaking through thoughts. He put So'unga on his back and he felt youki coming from the sword and then it shrunk a little and "glued" itself to his back. He let go and the sword just stayed there. "Awesome! Thank you So'unga." Naruto thought to So'unga. "Ya ya don't mention it kid." So'unga said. Naruto Proceeded to look for a way out. After searching for a good hour or so, he finally found the exit. He followed the path until he finally found sunlight. He raced to the end of the path and found he was in the middle of the forest. He raced back to the village as fast as he could, wanting to talk to the Sandaime. He raced through the streets, ignoring the hateful and fearful glares he was receiving. He finally arrived at the hokage building, he ran through till he got to the hokage's office. He didn't bother knocking on the door, he just barged in and looked at the Sandaime. "Jiji, we need to talk." The Sandaime looked up from his paperwork. "Naruto. What is it you want to talk about?" That's when he noticed the sword on Naruto's back. "And where did you get that sword?"
