"Could you repeat that?"

"I'm going to spirit you away."

Naruto stared blankly at the strange not-quite-human man standing in front of him, "Why?"

Rihan smiled at him, "Because I want to show you what it means to be free. Free from hatred, free from rules, free from village walls. I'll admit, this is usually something a tengu would do, but I like you, kid. So I'll make an exception. Will you come with me?"

Naruto fidgeted under Rihan's intense gaze, "If I say no, are 'ya gonna leave withou' me?"

Rihan tilted his head to one side and stayed silent for a moment before finally nodding, "I will. I dislike staying in one place for so long. Not when it doesn't feel like home."

Naruto nodded, and then stayed silent. Rihan waited patiently for the boy's answer, not moving from where he quietly stood.

"I'll go."

Rihan smiled and held out his hand for Naruto to take, "It'll change your entire life."

"I know."

"We might not come back."

"I know."

"You can't be Hokage if you go."

Naruto paused, looking frightened for a moment. Then Naruto's lips spread out into a thin line and he gained a determined look on his face, "I'll go. Spirit me away, Rihan."

Naruto took Rihan's hand, and the two of them disappeared into the black shadows of Rihan's Fear.

Usually something a tengu would do - My research has told me that the term 'spirited away' was coined for instances where people would disappear for a while and then reappear in odd places, such as high up in trees or in attics. This instances were usually attributed to tengu.
