"Talking"

'Thinking, also how Naruto talks to Kyuubi'

'Kyuubi speak'


Chap.4 Gathering the players.

"When the darkness consumes your soul, what do you do?"

"You embrace it like a lover and let it take over. You don't want to fight what is imminent, it will only weaken you. It is only in the darkest of times that we truly see that light that we are searching for."

"But…what if you never find that light?"

"There's always a light, the better question would be, which one will you choose? While the sun is beautiful, the moon is just the same."

"But the sun is brighter then the moon."

"Yes, but the moon shows us the true evils hidden in the shadows, what the sun is afraid to acknowledge, to see, and even the moon can block out the sun."

"Don't you miss the sun?"

"You don't miss what you've never known."


"What is this?" Naruto held up in his hand to Sin's face, holding the object still for the boy to see.

"A pawn?" Sin guessed, not too familiar with the piece before him.

Naruto nodded his head in approval to the boys answer, putting the white pawn down onto the black and white checkered board. It retook is position, ready for battle, be it slaying another piece in battle or losing its life to one.

"Make a move" Naruto said, sitting back in his chair before the game board.

Sin looked at the pieces before moving his white pawn into action. Naruto picked one of his own black pawns and moved it as well.

Sin looked down and moved another piece, while Naruto quickly moved another.

Sin took his queen and moved it into action. Naruto said nothing as he moving another pawn.

Sin moved his queen, taking a pawn. He smirked as he placed the piece off the field. Naruto just moved another pawn. He hadn't even touched any other the other pieces on his side.

Sin moved his queen into position to check the king, "Check" he said proudly.

Naruto just calmly reached over and took him out with a bishop with out bating an eye at his action.

Sin retaliated by taking out another of Naruto's pawns, while Naruto used another bishop to take his knight.

It was very frustrating to see he was losing, so Sin moved his bishop to position.

"Check" he said once more. Naruto used a pawn to take him out.

The game got very competitive between the two, or at least to Sin.

"Check"

This time it wasn't Sin saying the word, it was Naruto. He watched as the young boy saw that no matter what move he made, he was going to lose, so Sin just knocked his king over. Acknowledging his defeat.

"Tell me what you did wrong." Naruto said, looking at the boy.

Sin thought over his answer, not sure what to say, "I lost my best pieces?" he said, hoping that that was the answer.

"Wrong, you misused your pieces and lost them, just because a pawn is weak, doesn't mean that it doesn't have its uses. Also, its stupid to just bring out your best piece right off the bat, you have no patience when it comes to strategy, something I suggest you work on greatly." Naruto said, his eyes narrowed in disapproval.

Sin felt shame, but knew it was something he would have to learn if he was going to help Naruto. He might be a pawn, but he could become better.

"Pawn, Brook, Knight, Basilisk, Queen, and finally King." Naruto said, startling the boy out of his thoughts.

He tossed Sin a white pawn piece. "You are a pawn to me; see about changing that, I need someone strong enough to protect a king." Then Naruto turned and left the room.

Sin looked at the playing piece in his hand, seeing something on the bottom he turned it over and saw, carved into the bottom the number one.

He looked over at the bored and saw the pieces there. He has a ways to go.


Time later found them out on the streets that night, carrying baskets of food that Naruto had had Sin go out and buy. They were nearly overflowing with things, from apples, to bread and cookies.

Sin grunted as he hefted the basket he was carrying up, trying to get a better grip on it with out dropping it. His master didn't seem to be having in trouble with his all, but when you have inhuman strength, he figured that could help a great deal.

He didn't question master as much as he would like to, but he soon got his answer as they made it to an alleyway that was full of children in rags and shivering in the cold. The kids inside tried to blend into the walls to avoid unwanted, negative, attention from the stranger that had walked into their 'home'.

Of course that fact that they were wearing their masks and cloaks probable didn't help at all.

But master said nothing as he put his baskets down and started to hand food stuffs to the children, who didn't seem sure what to do with it. The first child got an apple and seemed confused to be holding one, the others looked at him, seeing if he would eat it. After some sniffing and hesitation, the child took a bite, and upon discovering that it tasted good and he wasn't dead or poisoned from it, proceeded to devour the whole thing. The others soon did the same with the food they had in their hands. In the other basket, blankets were just about overflowing from it.

Naruto reached in and started to hand out to the others, making sure that everyone had one, before he packed up his things and grabbed the baskets and left. Leaving at least twenty children to gap after the stranger who had just fed them and given them blankets. Sin ran to catch up with Naruto who had gotten a head start on him.

"Buy more food, and purchase clothing. If you need to guess on the sizes do so." That was all master said to me for the night. But I did what he asked without question.


Over the next few weeks, we made nightly visits to the orphans, as I later found out, in the alley. Over time, more and more of them began to show up, and we would end up bring more and more food for them, plus clothing, leading us to make many trips back and forth to the house.

But the children began to trust Naruto, and called him Mr. Fox. Bowing to him when he would arrive baring the gifts, even if they tried to refuse the gifts out of gratitude he would place them in their hands or laps with out a word.

It was during one visit that, when we had gotten there, we had discovered that others had beaten us to it. Some older teenage boys were picking on the kids, demanding to know who had given it to them and ripping their things and stepping on the food that they had saved. They smacked a child who had tried to stop them from smashing his food.

The teen laughed as he kicked the kid on the side, then spat on his face. He went on with his rampage, destroying the children's things. His friends laughed as the kids started to cry, all they had was being destroyed before their eyes.

Sin looked over at his master. He saw that he was standing there, and then he looked at Sin and nodded his head toward the children as he set the overflowing baskets down and motioned Sin to watch them and comfort the children.

Sin nodded as he placed the baskets off to the side and then went to towards the nearest child to check on his well being. Seeing that this child was fine he moved onto the next, leaving master to his own devices.

Naruto walked up to the first teen he met and tapped him on the shoulder. Before the boy could do anything, Naruto has swung out his leg, knocking the teen off of his feet to smack into the ground. His friends laughed as the teen rose up and spat up the dirt, his eyes said that he was ready to kill the one who had done that.

Naruto's voice stopped him.

"Why did you do that?" he asked, his eyes faintly glowing behind the mask.

The boy ignored the feeling in his gut telling him to run, no fucking little kid was going to embarrass him like that.

"Because I fucking felt like it. That's why, got a problem with that?" he snarled at Naruto.

Naruto just shook his head, as if he was dealing with a child, instead of the teenager before him. You would think he would be scared to have a 15 year old boy, who was much taller then him, challenging him. But if he could take on adults, this child would be nothing compared to that.

"Yes, I do. Your stupidity does not amuse, so I am going to warn you only once. Hmm, a warning seems to kind." He suddenly snapped his fingers, "I got it. You all have 15 seconds to run. Then I will hunt each of you down and proceed to beat the crap out of each and every one of you. If any of you are lucky, you will still retain full use of your body parts and will still have all your limbs attached when I am done. You may start running now." Naruto turned his back on him as he went to help the child up from the ground, dusting to boy off and checking to see if he was seriously injured.

The teen sputtered at Naruto's words, shocked that he had the nerve to say such things at all.

"Who the hell do you think you are you little piece of shit!" he yelled before charging after Naruto. He pulled out a knife and raised it ready to strike, his friends cheered him on.

Naruto turned at the last second, driving a kick into the boy's stomach which sent him flying into his gang of friends. He grabbed his stomach from the blow; he thought that some of his ribs were broken.

Naruto set the boy down next to the injured. Sin was wrapping some of their wounds with cloth and giving out new blankets to them. Naruto rubbed the boy's hair and then turned back towards the group in the alley.

"Sin, keep everyone here, I have matters to attend to and wish to discuss something with the children. But first, these annoyances must be dealt with."

With that said, Naruto walked over to the 'leader' of the group, who held his stomach. Naruto grabbed his arm and with a snap of his wrist broke it. His friends flinched at the sound and began to back away from the freaky kid.

"Where do you think your going?" they gasped and whirled to see another fox boy, his arms crossed over his chest.

"I am not done with you assholes yet." He grabbed the now whimpering boy neck and slowly tightened his hand around his throat around his neck, making him gasp and with his free hand, scratch at the hand around his throat. At the last moment Naruto dropped him to the floor. He wheezed, now that he could breathe and looked up in fright at Naruto.

Naruto looked over at the group of scared teens. "15 seconds. Go."

Naruto smirked as the teens ran out of the alley as fast as they could. He waved to children, before jumping onto the roof to track his prey.

Screams of horror could be heard that night as the boys were beaten. People heard later on that all the boys couldn't, or wouldn't speak of what had happened to them. They had all been in ICU for days and many thought they would never recover. But they worried most over the leader of the teens, he was always smiling, and some thought that his eyes sometimes glowed red.


The children huddled together for warmth and comfort from each other.

"Doesn't he scare you?" one asked.

Sin looked over at the boy; a black eye was slowly forming on his face.

"Sometimes, but he doesn't hurt me. Plus I know that if he gives his word on something he keeps it. He said he wouldn't hurt me, and he hasn't. Look how he protected you guys, if he didn't want to bother with you guys he wouldn't have given you guys that stuff that he has." Sin replied.

"What does he want to talk to us about?" another boy asked.

"Hmm…I have an idea, but let's wait to hear what he has to say." Was all Sin would tell them.

Later on Naruto appeared from the darkness, the same as when he left. He walked over the boys and stood before them.

"How would you guys like to never have to go hungry again? Never have to worry about being beaten or hurt by others?" he looked from one boy to the other, seeing how his words affected them.

"Never have scars, be healthy and happy?" he asked.

Many of the children looked from one to the other, not sure what to say to this.

"If you don't believe me, don't worry, I have proof of my words." He waved Sin over and motioned for him to take off his mask.

Some gasped at the sight, they knew Sin and this boy seemed completely different from the one they knew, he looked stronger, healthier, and most of all scar less. Many commented on the fact that this was a completely different person.

"All he says is true; he saved me and healed me. Now he's given me a better life, I don't know what I would have done without him." Sin said, looking into their eyes to show him the truth of his words.

"I'm not going to pressure you into choosing what you want. Just know that what I offer is food, power, protection and a home. All I ask in return is loyalty and that you join me in my dream." Naruto said.

"What's you dream?" a boy from the back of the group asked.

Naruto looked at him through his mask and smiled. Some would have thought that smile insane, if they had seen it.

"Destroy Konoha" he said simply.

The children gasped and opened their eyes wide in fright.

"Why would you do that!" one yelled.

"There's no way that is possible!" another said.

"What has this place ever done for you!?" Naruto roared, angered by their defense of this place.

"Why would you defend this place!? It has done nothing but harm and abandoned you has it not!? All I know of Konoha is that it's a place that only causes harm and sadness. So don't you dare defend this place to me when not twenty minutes ago you were all being attacked, tell me, who was protecting you then? Not the good righteous citizens of Konoha, that for hell is sure!" Naruto growled that last out as he started to pace, being agitated by what they had said.

The boys looked down, thinking over what had been told them. None of them could really recall any good memories of this place. Life at the adoption place hadn't been good, forcing the older ones onto the streets when they were older. So why were they defending it?

"I can offer you a way better life then this place ever has, all you have to do is take what I offer and embrace your new life." Naruto said, holding his hand out to the child he had help earlier.

He smiled behind his mask as the child took his hand.


The children found their home to be in the woods. There were bunk beds, training grounds and a place for them to eat at. Overall it was a nice little place to live for them and they didn't have any complaints, especially since they had brand new outfits. All of them hand accepted what he had to offer, and had taken his glowing hand, healing and granting them power.

Naruto looked around at the grounds and watched as the children put what little things that had away.

"Sin, know that you are in charge for them. Of course I will come to train them from time to time, but overall you are the one who will teach them all they need to know. What I teach you, you will in turn teach them. Understood?" he asked.

Sin bowed to Naruto. "Yes master"
