...i feel kinda old...


"What do you mean I can't fight?!" Full of rage, the man slammed his fists on the large oak table.

"You just moved here, and from an enemy territory above all. It can't be helped that we don't trust your intentions." One of the elders shot back.

The room was silent and everyone was starring at the man in the middle class clothes with his head down, starring at the hands folded in his lap.

"I just want to help protect my new home, that's all." He mumbled.

The elders sitting at the top o f the table just starred at the Hokage to see what he had to say of this little ordeal. He just shrugged in response to their curious stares.

After a long silent pause, the 4th finally spoke. "You know as well as anyone else that we need powerful shinobi to fight off the Kyuubi. And at this point we're desperate...But technically you are an enemy of ours..."

"I'll give you anything, anything you want. To prove that I really am loyal to this country. Just name it." The man's pleading eyes looked up to stare into those of the Hokage "Please. Just let me protect my home."

All eyes were on the Hokage and the man. No one moved a muscle, in anticipation of what words were going to come out of the 4th's mouth.

"You're most prized possession." An elder said simply. The Hokage closed his eyes and nodded in agreement.

The man squinted his eyes, knowing what he had to give up.


Rain started to pour as the man left the Hokage's building. With every step he took, thunder would roar, tree's would crack, screams would echo, and life would turn to death.

The Kyuubi was nearing the town and the shinobi were doing anything they could to stop it from gaining another inch.

Full of determination, he turned his walk into a run and soon enough he was jumping from limb to limb to get to the battle.

"Oh my god." He was struck by a sudden burst of fear. Half of the forest was completely gone. And standing in the middle of the chaos stood the great 9 tailed demon fox. The Kyuubi was currently being held back by about 30 different techniques of all sorts while others were actually attacking. There were wounded ninja scattered everywhere with pools of blood surrounding them. Some of them were getting up from the blood stained ground and still insisted on fighting.

"Hold it here until the Fourth arrives!"

"Don't let it get any closer to the village!"

The Kyuubi swung its tail at a group of shinobi that jumped to attack. Like a baseball, the men hit the tail and flew backwards and skidded to a stop right in front of the newest member of the battle.

Determined to fight for the severely wounded man, he took a single step toward the great beast. But one step is all he got in.

"Daichi!" Said man turned around to face a very pissed off woman. "Don't you dare take another step."

"...Suzume...I...I'm sorry..." He said cringing a little bit as if expecting some sort of beating as punishment. Instead she walked up to him, intertwined her fingers in his and whispered to him.

"What do you say we kick this demon fox's ass and get our daughter back?" She smiled her heart melting smile.

"Alright." He couldn't help but smile too. As long as she was there beside him, nothing would seem impossible. Together they had the strength to take anything on.

Hands held tightly together, the two were ready to take on the Kyuubi.
