Sorry to have to tell you guys this, but my sister is coming home from college, so my non-school Internet use shall be limited. IMPORTANT: Since some reviewers have showed…displeasure at the admittedly cheesy name of my fic, I'm holding a vote for the village's name and my fic's new name. The choices are:

Itamigakure- The Village Hidden in Pain

Kagegakure- The Village Hidden in Shadows

Shinigakure- The Village Hidden in Death

Namigakure- The Village Hidden in Waves

Onigakure- The Village Hidden by Demons

Please note that since Naruto isn't one of the five main kages, his name will be based off of the village, i.e., Shinikage (Death Shadow), except in the case of Kagegakure where I'll probably just call him the Onikage (Demon Shadow) because its cooler than Namikage (Wave Shadow). I will still use Namikage for Namigakure, however. Oh, and feel free to suggest other names. Anyway, Onward!

"Himaru-sensei!" A certain blond yelled out, making his voice ring across the sky as he and a several dozen clones landed on the island, and with cargo. "I got some people!"

"Don't yell, Naruto, I'm right here," Himaru said as he approached the giddy blond. "I see you've collected quite a few villagers, even some adults, very good." When no response came from Naruto or any of the several people, Himaru started chuckling before turning around to observe the handiwork himself. "Haku's done quite a job, wouldn't you say?" Naruto just nodded dumbly as he beheld the massive fortress-like wall of ice surrounding their island.

"How the Hell did he do this!?"

"Remember the clones you left behind?"

"Yeah, why?" Himaru reached into one of his many pockets and pulled out a small, navy-blue pill.

"There's a way to condense them into pills of your hanyou chakra. These pills, when ingested by someone with a bloodline, magnifies said ability to incredible levels." Just as he finished speaking, the sound of puking came from the distance, and Himaru blushed slightly and offered a sheepish grin. "But it has effects similar to dug withdrawals on the body." Naruto was in mid-step toward the direction of the puking, but then remembrance flashed across his bestial features.

"Um, what do you want me to do with all these people, Himaru-sensei? They're sort of creeped out, and I think I help calm them down, but what I want to go check up on Haku…" The tension of the decision was visibly racking Naruto's brain.

"I-I am fine, Naruto-kun." A very wobbly and even paler than usual Haku approached them, Zabuza at his side looking all too amused.

"Yeah, Haku's fine. I can't say I expected to have to hold his hair up as he hurled in a bucket until he was around twenty or so, but he's fine."

"'He'!?" Several of the people in Naruto's little entourage shouted. Luckily, Haku was too sick to be angry as he promptly fell forward into the sand and began snoozing.

"Hehe, I should give one of those pills to Sasuke," Naruto schemed with an almost sadistic grin. Himaru 'ahemed' to re-attain his student's attention before turning his focus on the new villagers.

"I don't suppose our future leader here, Naruto, remembered to tell you why he brought you here?" To the older ninja's surprise, a small chorus of 'yes' rippled across the crowd.

"Ha! See, I don't always forget things!" Himaru smiled at his student and patted Naruto's head, though at the boy's increased height it was a bit of a challenge.

"Good job, Naruto. You'll be a fine kage. Now, for introductions."

"That one's Yishen, he's Jin, she's Hana…" Naruto began as he started pointing and listing people one by one.

"Hold-you already know all their names?" Naruto grinned at his sensei.

"Yep. Learned 'em while we stopped to tell them about the village." Naruto's face darkened slightly. "Some people jumped ship, though…"

"That's okay, Naruto. We don't want to rob Wave of its entire population." Himaru patted the blond's shoulder. "Now, back to introductions."

"What are you guys doing?" A small gang of boys all jumped as Naruto showed himself among their hiding spot underneath the trees. "The work's that way. Houses ain't going to build themselves." The guessed 'leader' of the group took a step toward Naruto and smiled.

"Oh, it's just you, Naruto-sama. We were just having some fun."

"Stop calling me 'sama', it makes me itchy. And what exactly are you doing?" The boy smirked.

"Just having some fun with the dobe." Naruto's eye twitched before he was instantly in the middle of the group. Another boy, black-haired and smaller than them, looked up at Naruto from the ground, his clothes dirtied and his body bruised. But what really set Naruto off, was his eyes. He was blind.

"What…the Hell…" Not the brightest stars in the sky, none of the boys noticed Naruto's dangerous tone. Though they did notice his fists in their faces. Once the bullies were not so neatly piled up, Naruto turned back to the still unmoving blind boy.

"You're name's Toku, right? Are you okay?"

"N-Naruto-sama?" Toku mumbled, barely recognizing his savior's voice. Toku felt himself be grabbed by the sides and limply thrown onto something hard and muscular; a back.

"Don't worry, I'll get Sakura-chan to patch you up." Toku barely felt the wind run through his hair before Naruto stopped, the soft squelch of sand coming to his ears.

'H-how is he so fa-AAGGGHHHHHHH!' Naruto broke off into a (at least for a normal person) mind-bendingly fast run.

"Sakura-chaaan!" The pink-haired kunoichi looked up from the stones she was stacking.

"What is it Naru- Oh my, lord! What happened to him?" Toku felt himself be shifted into a small pair of arms, but his head was spinning a little too much for him to tell anything else before unconsciousness finally claimed him.

I'm sorry this is so insultingly short, but oh well, it was more for a way to post the vote than anything else. You guys have until the update after the next one to cast your votes, so roughly two weeks, give or take. By the way, Toku is important. Just look up the definition of his name to get a hint. I know OCs are evil, but I figure I did an okay job with Himaru, so why not? Please read, review and VOTE!
