It was known as a night of terror. In one night, an entire village was decimated. Everyone in Konoha was massacred, with the exception of a group of people outside the gates. There was not a mark on them. They seemed to die peacefully. This was not so for the rest of the populace. All were killed in the most horrific ways possible. One such victim was a pink-haired kunoichi. There was practically nothing left of her body, just her head.

Reports say that it was the Kyuubi, looking for revenge on those who harmed his container. However, many believe only Kami could do such damage on such a level. I believe it was the Kyuubi, just like I believe that they deserved it. They killed one of my precious people. May he rest in peace.

Shukaku agrees with me for once. He contacted Kyuubi; Kyuubi got his revenge, especially on the pink-haired banshee. And those who were found unharmed? Those were my precious person's precious people.Excerpt from Kazekage Gaara's Journal

Yes, I changed the story. I felt it needed to be spread out some. It seemed too fast to just show a one-year gap in time with a flimsy little line. Besides, it's my story. I get to do what I want. So there!

Thanks go out to Kage Bijuu for being the only one so far to actually review. Congratulations! You get a Naruto plushie… as soon as I can figure out how to send one over the internet.

On a side note, I am gathering my ideas and research in preparation of a new story. This one will be many chapters long, not sure how many yet. While spending another sleepless night reading both Yu-Gi-Oh and Naruto fanfiction, an idea suddenly struck me (in the form of my notebook falling on my head). What if Naruto were to gather the bijuu? What if they left the Elemental Countries? What if some of them were Yu-Gi-Oh characters? What if they went to Egypt to serve Pharaoh Atem?

As you can see, this may take a while to sort out. Until then… Peace Love Abstinence!
