Sorry! I lied didn't I? It's been more than a week and haven't updated. I'm sorry been but I went to a party last weekend instead of coming here where I have computer. Well anyways don't skip down to the story because this is important. I'm gonna take this opportunity to answer reviews make an announcement…well actually the announcement will be at the end of this chapter but anyways…I got a review about how Tenten wouldn't have gave Naruto a rare weapon well you see I wasn't clear about that I rushed. Naruto bought it you see Tenten had originally made it for her but decided to sell it to Naruto. She doesn't know why she did but doesn't regret it. Next to someone who said it was sexist to assume Kurenai would need protecting and no one else. I didn't mean it like that I'm sorry if it came off like that. It's just if I started dating one of my friends sisters which most of the sisters know how to fight trust me they'd still do that. They would tell me to take care of her and I would probably do the same to them so I'm sorry if I came off on the wrong foot. Another thing I am an anime freak. Well really Naruto freak I've watched all episodes that come out on sub version. I know Kakashi past and one guy posted how it would take longer for Kakashi to open up to Kurenai. That's true but I have a treat for you guys at the end because your right that is true but the reason why I did it cause this story is supposed to be focused on Naruto and Sasuke so I didn't want to have to go into all those details but look at the bottom after the chapter and you won't be mad. Alright let's get started im done now.

Chapter 3: A true bond

Naruto Hatake stood at the ready in front of his best friend Sasuke. Naruto stared Sasuke down trying to think on how to take him down. Naruto knew Sasuke would have some sort of plan so he needed to get one going to. He countered Sasuke's attacks already but Sasuke did to. That was the problem all his plans had a way to backfire. All well, he decided. Guess that'll work. Naruto smirked confidently as he reached for his Black Strife chakra blade strapped to his back. As always when his hand touched it he saw her… Tenten. Naruto hated how she had that effect on him he was supposed to focus. But he knew that it would always be like that. Tenten and him trained together know a lot more then he trained with Sasuke. She had become one of his closest friends. Naruto knew that he had to protect her and pay her back from letting him buy this blade. Most people will kill to have it. Naruto cared about her more than he wanted to let on. He wished he could tell her that but because of his…Fox problem. He really couldn't. If he hurt her he couldn't forgive himself. He cared for her too much.

Naruto shook his head and forced himself to focus. However to no avail. He was pretty angry. Why him exactly? Why did he have to pay such a price? He had met the Ninetails when he was ten one year ago… Naruto huffed and puffed as he stared Tenten down. Tenten was breathing hard to. They both were having a pretty extreme sparring match. Tenten reached into her pouch and grabbed…another scroll?! Naruto groaned how much of those stupid weapon scrolls did she have. And also considering she could mix her Fire style with them…well that was even worse. Tenten smirked. "Don't tell me your going to back out now Naruto?" she said with a triumphant smirk. "Do my scrolls scare you?" Naruto glared at her. He was exhausted but he wouldn't back out. He could still beat her she was playing into his hands and she didn't even have a clue! However all those scrolls where a nuisance it made it hard to get close to her. Only a fool wouldn't be scared of those scrolls! Naruto smirked back then giving her a famous Hattake eye smile said. "Oh Tenten." He taunted knowing he would regret it. "There nothing to be scared of when your too slow to hit me." Tenten's eyes narrowed. She glared at Naruto. "You're going to regret that!" she shouted. She jumped high in the air and twirled her scrolls around her. "Rising Twin Dragon Flame Bombs!" Naruto's eyes widened maybe he had gone too far. He knew she hated it when she missed. She never missed. Well except for him and Sasuke. She hated that him and Sasuke where too fast for her weapons. This is why she went to his father… He knew his dad had taught her how to infuse elemental chakra with her weapons. But he had no idea that she could add it to all those weapons at once. If she was serious that is. Which Naruto figured she probably was. Tenten didn't bluff. But a guy could dream.

Naruto readied himself wondering how this justu worked. Would it ruin his plan? He hoped not. Tenten bite her thumb and ran blood along the scrolls. "Naruto!" she shouted. "Time to show you how slow I really am!" There was a poof of smoke. Then the smoke started to glow. Suddenly kunai, shrikun, swords, and any other weapon that was sharp was sent flying at Naruto. However unlike her usual weapons these weapons were aflame! You got to be kidding me! He thought, This is what dad had her working on?! He jumped high in the air dodging the first set of weapons. At least he thought. BOOM! The weapons exploded on impact Flames shooting straight at Naruto. Naruto thought fast and formed some handsigns. His plan could still work she was still throwing weapons which is what he needed. Tenten smirked as she saw Naruto desperately dodging the weapons and flames. Thanks Kakashi-sensei. She thought with a smirk. She threw more as Naruto dodged and…BOOM! Naruto cried out as flames engulfed him. Tenten smirked. She had done it- Poof! Her eyes widened as smoke hit her face. She coughed as Naruto emerged from the smoke his eyes shining in determination. He grabbed her and drew his chakra blade. Naruto smirked at Tenten's expression. He had done it!

Naruto gripped her and with a burst of chakra he took her and him to the ground. Naruto placed his blade to her throat as he pinned her down. "Got you." He said with a smirk. Tenten glared at him for a second then sighed. "Fine you win." Naruto smiled and pulled her up. "How'd you do that?" she asked with a curious expression. Naruto smirked. "It was simple really." He said. "The Naruto you've been throwing weapons at was a shadow clone. As you were surrounded by smoke when you began that attack I waited for the weapons to get close and then made a clone and transformed one of your weapons. I waited for a good moment which was when you thought you got me then used the substitution technique and replaced myself with one of your weapons. Then…well you know the rest." Tenten eyes widened then narrowed. "Dang I thought I would get you this time." She said. Naruto gave a chuckle. "You almost did and you've gotten me before." He pointed out. "You really almost had me can't believe you and dad made a justu like that. Tenten smiled. "Yeah well it was secret training Naruto." She said playfully. Naruto frowned as she laughed at him. "Yeah, yeah." He said. She smiled. "Man I'm tired." She said. Naruto smirked. "Don't tell me that you're tired already?" He teased. She glared at him. "Shut up." She said. He laughed. "Actually I could use a nap to." He said with a yawn. She turned to glare at him. "What?" Naruto asked innocently. "I lost a lot of chakra fighting you." He said. She sighed. "Yeah." She agreed. "We did probably go too far." Naruto nodded and walked towards a shady tree and sat down leaning against the tree. Tenten followed and sat down next to him. They sat in silence. Naruto tried to think of something to say. Tenten suddenly leaned against Naruto. Naruto's eyes widened he turned his head to see Tenten with her eyes closed and her head on his shoulder. "You don't mind do you?" She asked with a yawn. "I don't feel like leaning on the tree." Naruto smiled. "Sure." He said. She smiled then leaned into him and soon fell into a peaceful sleep.

Naruto stared at her. She looked so…peaceful. He smiled as he leaned back and closed his eyes. "I'll always be there for you to lean on Tenten." He muttered before falling asleep. Naruto awoke up in a hallway. He jumped up looking around. He was in some sort of sewer like place. "How'd I get here?" He muttered. He suddenly felt a pulling sensation in his stomach. It was like it was telling him to go somewhere. He slowly began to walk down one of the long hallways. He soon reached a room and saw…Tenten and him at the tree. It was some sort of image like a… memory. What a pity the Jinchuriki of the Nine Tails falling for such a pitiful creature. Naruto's eyes widened as he looked up and saw a giant fox with a pair of dark red eyes sitting in a giant cage. The fox was enormous and had orange fur. The fox appeared to be glaring. Which coming from a giant fox was pretty imitating. On the cage there was a large paper that read "Seal". "What-"Don't speak Naruto. I have something important to tell you. Let me introduce myself. I am the Great Kyubi. "How do you know my name?" Naruto asked his eyes narrowing. "And what is the Kyubi?" The fox smirked. Your so called family has kept you in the dark for a long time Naruto. I am the reason the village glares at you I am the Nine tails that attacked the village ten years ago. The fox said this with a smirk. Naruto's eyes widened and immediately looked to where the fox's tails would be and saw nine whole tails. Naruto couldn't believe it. "Where am I?" he asked. "What does you attacking the village have to do with me?" The nine tails laughed. Well Naruto if you would listen maybe I'll tell you. Where you are… I guess you can say it's your mind. As to me attacking the village it's simple really. You see ten years ago the fourth Hokage fought me and knew there was no way to defeat me. So he sealed me into a newborn child. That child was YOU! Naruto eyes widened. His heart shattered as the Nine tails laughed. "Your saying this entire time that dad and mom wouldn't tell me what I was even though I always wondered why the villagers hated me." At each word Naruto could feel his heart snapping. That's right Naruto your parents lied to you. And now you know about me I want to tell you something. Naruto looked up at the Nine tails. Naruto suddenly felt rage hit him like never before. His parents had lied to him all this time! The village had hated him for something he didn't do! He felt betrayal rage and pain all at once. Naruto I will let you use my power right now. Take your revenge on the village. Make them feel the pain you felt all those years. All you have to do is peel this paper off and break the Seal. I will let you have all my power. I will let you destroy all those who caused you pain. YOU WILL BE INVICIABLE. Naruto looked up at the paper that said "Seal". Naruto felt rage like never before. The fox was right it was time to pay the Leaf back for all that pain from all those years. They wanted to hate him he'd give them a reason to.

Naruto walked towards the cage. He would do this. He would show the Leaf the same pain he had. "Dobe." A familiar voice said. Naruto recognized the voice immediately and turned to see Sasuke! Not just Sasuke… It was everyone he knew and loved. His father, mother, The third, Sasuke, Pervy Sage, and…Tenten. Tenten was smiling at him. The smile that filled his heart with warmth. Without thinking he reached for his Strife blade and pulled it free and stared down at the Black blade. Suddenly all the memories of his friends and family hit him like boulders fighting back all the pain he ever felt. He saw himself training with his father and mother. He saw Sasuke and him training and smiling. He saw Tenten and him talking and training. She would laugh when Naruto would do something stupid(Which usually happened a lot) and hug him. The images faded with Tenten's smiling face. "Don't forget the past Naruto." A voice said. "Don't forget you have people who love you. Your father was protecting you from the truth. That way you could have a normal childhood. Don't resent him. Your father and mother are great people." Naruto looked around but saw no one. It can't be. That Chakra… The nine tails muttered. Naruto turned to face the Nine tails and knew what to do. "Thank you whoever you are." Naruto said to the black then turned back to the Nine Tails. "Kyubi I won't attack the village. I will earn their respect and protect them all." The Nine Tails eyes narrowed. YOU FOOL! He bellowed After everything they did! All the pain they caused you! Your parents lied to you! Who can you trust if you can't trust them!? Naruto smiled. "I know." He said. "I know they did it to protect me. I might be mad but I can understand and besides… Their bonds that are true. I can't hurt them and you won't convince me to. Sasuke, Tenten, and my parents helped fill in the hole that was in my heart. They saved me." The Nine tails stared at him for a moment. Then he smirked. Well Naruto you are a fool… and you will learn to regret it. Suddenly everything vanished… Naruto awoke with Tenten still on his shoulder her eyes closed her breathing slow and steady. Naruto leaned down and kissed her forehead. "I promise Tenten I will pay you and everyone back." He said. "Thank you." Naruto felt at peace for the first time in his life.

End of chapter

Well I know that was shorter then most. Ill pay you back next chapter. One thing to those who were mad that I made it to easy for Kakashi and Kurenai to get together. Well I can make another story if you want about what happened after that night when they got Naruto this will be more family and romance to be honest but all well review and let me know if that's what you want. One more thing let me know if weapons fighting is Kinjustu or Funjustu cause I read on The Naruto enclycopedia it said Tenten was a master of Funjustu so I assumed that was weapons but part of me is nagging at my brain so help me out well later guys.
