Chapter 1: A New Life

"Blah" speech

'blah' thoughts

"blah" demon/kyuubi

Naruto jumped onto a cliff with Itachi right behind him. After 5 days of travel, they had finally arrived at the secret "clubhouse" as Naruto called it. There was a strange man waiting for them there. He had weird stuff in his face.

"Hello Itachi. I've been expecting you." The strange man stuck his hand out. Itachi shook it and smiled.

"Hello Pein-sama. I have some news that you might want to know concerning the young boy that's with me." Itachi whispered. Pein looked at him quizzically and gestured them to come closer.

"Kai!" Pein stood in front of a boulder that was "literally indestructible" quoted from Pein himself. The boulder disappeared and there was a huge hole in the middle of the cliff. The 3 walked inside. It was like a house. There were hallways, bathrooms, kitchens, library archives, a meeting room, bedrooms, training rooms and a huge empty room that had a huge stone…guy in it. The thing was doing a seal and it had 9 eyes that were closed. Pein, Itachi, and Naruto walked into the meeting room. A whole bunch of people were there. Most of them looked like creeps.

"Naruto, you'll have to wait outside O.K.?" Itachi more or less ordered him instead of asking.

"Ok Itachi-san." Naruto sat in one of the chairs and waited.

In the meeting room…

"Well lets welcome our new addition to the Akatsuki." Pein turned his head toward Itachi. "He also has some news about a boy that was brought in with him. He is waiting in the other room right now.

"Thank you Pein-sama. Now about the boy, he is the jinchiruki of the Kyuubi. I know of your plans to get all of the tailed beasts but I have a…better idea."

"The 9 tails yeah?" A blonde with a creepy grin on his face asked. The 2 mouths on his 2 palms licked his fingertips.

"Yeah, well I was thinking, why don't we get the child's favor? Then, we would have absolute control over him. If you try to harness the Kyuubi's power via the stone statue, there is a risk that the Kyuubi would run rampage. Again."

"So what are you trying to say Itachi?" A blue fish guy with a huge sword asked.

"I'm saying, Kisame, is that we train the boy to be immensely powerful so he can harness the Kyuubi's chakra himself. Not to mention he will be extremely deadly if we can max out his abilities to use his own natural affinity for wind and the fox's affinity for fire."

"Are there any risks to your "plan"?" Pein was now intreseted in were Itachi was going. If the Akatsuki could get onto the boy's good side and train him, then they would have the Kyuubi under control completely without any risks. The only problem is if Naruto refuses his offer.

"I don't think so Pein-sama. Naruto is completely trustful of me if we can make him powerful enough."

"Good. Meeting is now dismissed. Itachi, I want you to come with me and I'll show you to your rooms."

Naruto looked up and saw Pein and Itachi exit out of the meeting room. Both of them were smiling like crazy.

"Well Naruto-kun, your in the group, but we need to train you first. Do you accept this? You'll get much stronger." Pein stuck out his hand like he did with Itachi.

"Yeah!" Naruto jumped up in the air and grapped Pein's hand and yanked it till it almost fell off.

"Good. Now I'll show you to your rooms and there's someone else I want you to meet."

The 2 of them got their respective rooms. They walked through numerous hallways until they reached another bedroom door. Pein knocked on it.

"Miki are you in there?" Pein knocked.

"Daddy!" A little girl, about the same age as Naruto opened the door and tackled Pein down with a bear hug. Pein lifted her up and set her down onto the floor.

"I want you to meet Naruto-kun. He's going to be here for a long time."

"Hi, I'm Akira Miki!" The girl smiled at him. She had a sandy blonde hair. She was about only 4 ft at the time, and had sea green eyes.

"Uzumaki Naruto." Naruto grinned. He had a first friend and a new life.

Meanwhile in Konoha…

"Hokage-sama, Uzumaki Naruto is gone." A chunin ninja reported.

"What?! What do you mean gone?" The Sandaime basically hollered at the ninja.

"What's the problem? It's just the dem-," he didn't even finish his sentence before a fist slammed into his face and knocked him back a few feet.

"You don't understand anything do you? He was just a human being. He wasn't the demon himself! The demon was his prisoner, and he was the jailor. The 2 aspects aren't the same fool!" The Hokage was furious. "I want 3 ANBU teams to follow me. I'm going to search."

'Where are you Naruto?' The Sandaime thought before leaving for the search.
