Fox Demon Chronicles Part One: The Uzamaki Clan is Born

A Truce Between Enemies

Bold is Kyuubi

Italics is thought

Bold Italics is me talking.

Naruto jumped out of the way of the shuriken and stood up, ready to make multiple hand signs.

"Hello Naruto." Said the silhouetted figure, as the form of the Kazekage stepped out of the shadow.

Naruto grabbed a kunai from his pouch and got ready for battle. "What are you doing here?" he asked the Kazekage.

"Relax Naruto. I have come to ask for your help. Some spies from my village have gathered information that the village hidden in the mist is preparing to attack the Sand village in about a week. We have word that they will have about 250 ninja. I need your help and the help of the leaf village to help defeat the mist ninja."

"Why should we help you?" Naruto asked.

"Because if the sand village cannot defeat them, then they will come to destroy the leaf village as well." Gaara said with a triumphant look on his face.

Naruto was puzzled. "Why ask me then? Why not ask the Hokage?"

"I am not sure that I will be allowed near the Hokage's tower without being attacked on sight. I needed for you to understand why I am here and hopefully escort me to the Hokage's tower so that I may explain my proposition for a truce between the sand village and the leaf village."

"Sure, I'll take you to the tower so you aren't killed on sight. But, if you try anything funny, I will kill you immediately."

Sakura walked in from outside and noticed 4 shuriken in the door. She was very confused and when she saw Gaara, she got out a kunai knife and got ready to kill him. "What's going on here? And why are there shuriken in the door?" She yelled.

"Oh yeah." Gaara said and with a hand sign, turned the shuriken back into sand and drew them into his gourd.

"Oh don't worry Sakura. He's on our side. I'm sure of it." Naruto reassured her.

Sakura put her kunai away in her pouch. She was still on her toes though. "So why are you here Gaara?"

"There is no time Sakura." Naruto answered. "We need to go to see the Hokage now. You will learn more about this there."

Naruto ran out the door, closely followed by Sakura and Gaara. While on the way there, the three ninja were attacked by some of the chunnin that protected the Hokage's tower. Naruto thought that they were done for, seeing as how they were still only chunnin as well, but suddenly a swift flash of navy blue and grey appeared in front of them.

"Go! Now! I have been informed of the situation. I will hold them off as long as I can." Said a familiar voice. It was Kakashi sensei. He made a multitude of hand signs and about 100 clones appeared. They all took on someone and did their best to render the chunnin guards unconscious.

Once the reached the tower, Gaara used his sand to make a platform that raised them to the top floor and they climbed through the Hokage's window. They saw Tsunade sitting at here desk doing paper work while drinking sake. When she heard the three enter, she practically threw the sake in her drawer under the desk and she turned around to see who it was.

"NARUTO!" She yelled when she realized that it was nobody that important.

"There is no time Lady Tsunade! We have an issue." Naruto interrupted.

Naruto and Gaara explained the mist's plan to attack to the Hokage. After they got finished, Sakura was stunned and Tsunade was silent. After she came to the decision to make a truce with the sand village, she called in Shizune and told her to gather all the available ninja in the village and head to the sand village.

"Now let's go to war!" Said the Hokage.

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

Both, the sand village and the leaf village ninja were gathered in the sand village and waiting for the mist ninja to attack. They had just gotten their about 1 day ago. Everyone there had a place to be during the war and there were traps set up around the entire village. Near each of those traps was a team of 5 ninja. Two for the genjutsu and three to set off the traps when they came.

"Naruto." Said a voice from behind the boy.

"Yes, Sakura?" He answered.

"Please be careful." She said, putting her arms around him. Naruto wrapped his arms around her waist as well.

"Okay. I promise."

Suddenly, an explosion came from just outside of the northern wall of the village. Everyone got ready for battle. Over the horizon, the ninja could see the shadowed figures our ninja coming their way. The ninja ran towards each other and clashed.

Naruto took on a mist ninja that greatly resembled Zabuza. He called himself Zanimaru. Naruto ran at him and slit his throat easily. Zanimaru was on the ground squirming, but he suddenly stopped. When his hand moved from his neck, he turned into water. Naruto saw a giant sword swinging at him from the corner of his eye. He mad some hand signs and disappeared while leaving behind a log. Naruto jumped down from out of a tree and used his Rasengan to slash through Zanimaru. He turned into a log and Naruto heard his voice in the forest.

"Hahaha…That was very entertaining Naruto Uzamaki. We shall meet again and you will DIE!"

Naruto jumped away into the trees and followed his comrades into battle. He saw Shikamaru fighting three mist ninja at the same time and decided to help. Naruto formed a Rasengan in his hand and ran towards one of the ninja and ripped through his spine. The ball of chakra in his hand was still flowing but it was covered in blood. Naruto ran towards the other two ninja with a kunai in his left hand and a ball of chakra in the right. His Rasengan ripped a hole through one of the ninja's chest and his left hand slit the throat of the last ninja.

"Thanks for the help Naruto." Shikamaru said and ran off to fight more mist ninja.

"Hey Kyuubi. Think I can borrow some chakra?" Naruto mentally asked the demon.

"Alright kit. About how many tails worth?" The fox demon asked.

"Only about three."

Just after thinking this, Naruto became engulfed in the fox's red chakra. His fingernails grew, his teeth became fangs, and his whiskers grew long. He ran on all fours and his speed and strength grew three-fold. He ran at a group of about twenty mist ninja holding a purple Rasengan in each hand. In about ten seconds, blood was everywhere and the ninja were missing appendages left and right.

Naruto was so preoccupied, that he didn't notice that a mist ninja behind him threw four kunai at him. All of them hit his back and he roared in pain. He shot a burst of chakra and the kunai flew out of him and his wounds began to heal. He turned to the ninja and blasted an air bullet towards him. The ball of air ripped straight through the ninja and he fell out of the tree and hit the ground with a thud.

Naruto ran through the forest and found Gaara fighting twenty mist ninja. Naruto went to help him but just before he could reach him, Gaara was stabbed from all directions by kunai. He fell on the ground and stopped breathing. Naruto was infuriated by this and let out a yell. When he yelled, a wave of red chakra blasted through the forest and rent the flesh from all of the mist ninja. Naruto grabbed Gaara's body and ran towards the leaf village.

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

When he finally got to the leaf village, he ran to the hospital.

"Help him now! Please! He needs treatment!" Naruto yelled at the nurses. Ten medical ninja took Gaara to a room and began to operate. Naruto waited outside for hours. The medical ninja came out and told Naruto of the operation's success.

Naruto waited next to Gaara's bed for hours until he finally woke up.

"How are you feeling, Gaara?" Naruto asked his friend.

"What happened?" Gaara asked, rubbing his head.

"You were outnumbered 1-20 and you were hit from every side by kunai. They must have been too fast for your sand." Naruto explained to him.

Suddenly, someone burst through the door. It was Shizune. She lunged herself at Gaara and embraced him.

"You're okay. Oh thank Kami, you're okay." Shizune was crying in Gaara's arms. He was stoking her hair with one hand and holding her close to himself with the other.

Naruto got a very confused look on his face. He had noticed that Gaara welcomed her and hugged her back. "What am I missing here?" He asked the two.

"Well…" began Shizune, looking to Gaara for assistance. "We have been seeing each other for quite a while now and we are getting kinda serious." Gaara stated. Naruto just gave him a foxy grin.

"Well I'm gonna leave you two alone now. Is that okay?" asked Naruto getting up from his chair and heading toward the door.

"Yeah. I'm fine." Gaara said without taking his eyes off of Shizune.

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

Naruto was just arriving at his apartment. He walked through the doorway and smelled an extremely delectable fragrance. He saw Sakura in the kitchen cooking. He walked up behind her and kissed her on the cheek. She gasped.

"Oh. Sorry Sakura. Didn't mean to scare you." Naruto said from her side.

"I'm so glad that you're home, Naruto." Said Sakura as she turned around and pulled him into a deep kiss. Then the doorbell rang. Naruto went to answer it and saw Gaara and Shizune standing in the doorway.

"Hey Gaara. Shizune. Please come in. Is something wrong?" Naruto asked while making an arm gesture toward the inside of the house.

"No but Shizune and I have some important news for you and Sakura." Gaara said in a most cheerful way.

"Sakura." Naruto shouted. "I think that your presence is needed."

Sakura walked through the kitchen doorway and smiled from cheek to cheek when she saw Shizune and Gaara on the couch. "You two?" She inquired happily.

"Yeah. And we are planning to get married soon. We would like you two to attend the wedding." Said Shizune.

Naruto thought about this idea. Not so much about weather or not to attend, but what his friend Gaara would look like in a tuxedo and how he would react to the occasion. With this in thought, Naruto agreed and then burst into laughter.

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

It was had only been about four months since Gaara and Shizune had gotten married and now Shizune had already gotten pregnant. Naruto had proposed to Sakura and they were wed only a few weeks after. Sakura had gotten pregnant recently.

Sorry that this one took so long. There have been many reasons for me not writing but mostly, I haven't had much time at all. I have a great idea for this next part ,however, and I plan to be very frequently posting writing the next few chapters.

R&R ;)
