AN: I'm going to try to put this right after the third chapter to make up for taking so long. I really need some sleep so it's hard to load, but I'll still try. Also, if I can, even though I put this story for fun, I was depressed one day and when I saw the reviews, I was VERRY HAPPY (: THANKS! I'll try to put down the names of the people who reviewed.

Disclaimer: After I lost my gun, I tried to chase one down with a chainsaw, but they got away in time, but they can't sue me because I was wearing a mask so too bad : I am dangerous. Just in case, I don't own anything, but I am trying to make something to prevent lawers. I charm maybe... (grumbles and directs camera to fic)

chapter 4

2 days later...

"Where in the seven hells am I?"

I said out loud to myself. This only reminded me of the fact that I was alone in a forest during the night and completly lost. When I left 2 days ago, Inari told me the directions to the other villages, but after a few hours of back tracking and turning around again, Kuro had no idea of where he was so he decided to walk in a random direction and hope it was to somewhere safe.

He sighed and started to walk randomly to whatever direction until he heard a sound of metal clashing. He wanted to ask people who might know where he is besides, he might die out here anyway. When he got closer to the sound, he saw people fighting against each other. He considered stepping out in case this is a personal fight, but he noticed that it was 9 adults with banages aganist 2 adults with 5 teens. Also with SHARP and POINTY weapons and- hold it, was one of the kids spitting out fire! He nearly dropped his pocky, but he noticed that one of the the teens was going to be attacked from the back so he damned his hate of backstabbing people (literally and figuratively mind you) and rushed towards the clueless teen.

-----------------Naruto's POV------------------

'Ah crap. Damn it, we just almost back to Konoha, but these idiots had to come and ruin our day. (sighs) Well I guess since I was pretty annoyed by this whole week of getting lost again and it takes a lot of energy pretending to be a smiling, happy idiot so I guess I'll take it out on these guys.'

'Are you sure it wasn't just you being an idiot, your mask must be rubbing off on you?'

'Aw shut it Kyuu.'

As Naruto beat the crap out of the sound nins and Kyuubi laughed an evil laugh(after all, Kyuubi is a demon) at him, his friends and teacher sweapdropped when they saw Naruto rush into the battle.

'Hm, these sound nin must be at least low jonin.' Naruto thought as pretended to miss a punch as he directed his foot to kick the nin in the face, he stopped for a moment when he saw the others fighting their own opponents while he just finished his.

He thought that there was supposed to be 9 sound nins that were here, but he only saw 7 of them, the last two might be stronger than the others since he couldn't sense them. When he by chance noticed a blur somewhere in the trees going after Sakura that was already busy in a fight so he stopped him by throwing a punch to the face. The sound nin got angry and used a Katon justu against me which got me burnt a bit on my leg which made me slower, but I was fast enough to stab a kunai in his chest which probably punctured the lung so it means he's going to die pretty soon. As Naruto took out his kunai, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong so he didn't notice that someone was going to attack him from behind, however, there were other indiviuals that noticed this attack too late.

"Naruto! WATCH OUT!"

yelled out Kakashi and Gai, but Naruto's leg was still injured enough to slow him down to only see who it was, but not enough time to to block to the might be fatal injury.

When Naruto saw the blade rushing towards him fast, he couldn't bring up his weapon in time and this might take Kyuubi a while to heal which will allow the time for the sound nin to finish him off. He braced himself for the pain the attack will make, but he didn't feel any pain instead, he saw something black rush in front of him and he felt something splat on his face a little. It was blood, the stranger looked to be the same age as him, and he was currently holding the enemy's blade with his hands, but it managed to pierce his shoulder a bit which caused the blood to hit Naruto's face. The stranger was currently struggling against the enemy which made the stranger growl slightly and said

"Hey, would you mind helping me because I don't think being sliced into sushi is the greatest thing in the world."

he couldn't tell whether he was being scarastic or something else, but he pushed the thought away as he made a kage bushin to knock out the sound nin while he took a closer look at the other teen which seemed to be relieved that the sound nin wasn't in his face anymore. He was going to offer the teen if he wanted to get healed, but then suddenly, the teen narrowed his eyes and pushed Naruto off to the side.

-----------Kuro's POV---------

'Ouch,

Ouch,

Ouch!'

'shoulder bleeding, pocky almost dropping, but blond kid saved.' was currently Kuro's thoughts as a clone of the blonde appeared and knocked the adult out.

'The frick- what's going on here?' was his thoughts before he noticed that someone was coming in behind the blonde, that man who was coming in from behind is angry had his fist out, and it had a slight glow to it. Something in Kuro told that it was dangerous so he reacted and pushed the blonde away, but it hit his chest of where his heart is and it HURT.

He coughed out blood as he fell down on one knee, holding on to where his heart is, and heard someone yell for help. He cursed inwardly as he noticed that he dropped his pocky. When he looked up from his spot, he saw a patch of spiky, yellow hair and sky, blue eyes which reminded me of Inari request as he asked one question before fainting.

"Hey, are you Uzumaki Naruto?"

The last thing I heard was a shocked gasp and a voice which said something I will very soon forget.

'Restoration commencing. Heart recovery at 5.'

to be continued...

AN: I love pocky, too, but not as much as Kuro-Chan(hah!) Normally, he probably wouldn't act this way, but he can't resist helping children or kids his own age even if he gets hurt, something to do with his childhood. Also, I want to ask this.(ahem)

Should I write another fanfic for Tales of Symphonia? It has Kuro in it, but a slightly different life/ way of living. The game is okay, but what got me hooked on it is when I read fanfics on it because it's really funny. You can check on my favorite's list on it even if some are selfinserts. Selfinserts sometimes may suck, but I think these are great and better then mine. So should I or should I not? I might try to draw some of the characters out, but I don't know how to show them, but when I do, I'll tell you.
