"Speaking"

'Thinking'

Chap. 2

Operation Initiate Into Society is a go.

"Naruto, what are the rules?" Danzo asked before taking Naruto out ROOT's compound. They were standing in front of the steal door front enterence/exit as Danzo tested Naruto about what he was supposed to do.

"Smile, look happy, be friendly, don't talk about training, agree with everyone." He said, forcing his face into a natural looking smile that has his eyes twinkling with it.

"Good." Danzo led Naruto out the door and to the playground to meet the other kids his age and convince Sarutobi that he wasn't taking Danzo's training.

People on the street kept looking at Naruto with nearly concealed anger, something Naruto, if he had been normal still, should have reacted to. But he kept smiling.

That's where Danzo saw his first problem. Naruto didn't change his facial expression, not once. He drew his charge to the side of the road and told him to feel the energies in the air.

"There's a small amount of KI, is that what you mean?" He asked, face shifting into a look of curiosity. It was perfect. You could even see the twinkle in his eyes, that little spark that anyone with a childlike mind has. A mind he had gotten rid of but was able to mimic perfectly. Now, if only he could show fear…

"It's the expression of 'fear' that you have to show. I'll have to instruct you on it later. For now, just stay behind me and pretend to hide from everyone. Understand?" Danzo said, leaving no room for disagreement. Not that Naruto would, anyways. Of course, that also meant Naruto didn't feel the need to answer. "Now, let's go." And they walked back to the busy streets.

"It's the demon brat!"

"Why isn't that thing dead yet?"

"Shouldn't have been created."

"Look, it's being protected."

"No, he's protecting us from it."

With each comment, Naruto stood closer to Danzo, successfully making everyone think he's scared like a normal child would be.

...Progress.

And then they arrived at the park.

"It's time to play, Naruto. Go to kids your age and remember your job." Danzo said in his normal cold voice. Naruto answered with a quick 'Hai' before walking off to play with the kids, slowly adding energy into his step as he went until he was basically bouncing as he walked. Danzo nodded in approval before leaving Naruto to his mission.

"Kiba, go on. Play!" Tsume said, prying her son off of her.

"NOOO! BACK HOME!" He screams. Last time he went to 'play', his sister started throwing weapons at him. It wasn't his fault! Really! How was he, a seven year old, supposed to know not to touch a girl there! It just wasn't fair! And who cares if she was scolded for it afterwards! That scared his little mind!

However, Tsume had no sympathy for her little pup.

"GO!" She shouted, scaring him more then the thought of getting chased by his sister again. He quickly dropped her leg and ran off to the trees.

'Girls are scary… is that what cooties do?' Kiba thought as he ran. 'Must be. Only girls have cooties.' He decided.

And then he crashed into something.

"OOOWW!" Kiba yelled, tears filling his eyes. The boy in front of him blinked, looking down at him. He was completely unaffected by the crash.

And then he pouted and began to cry, the tears falling in slow motion down his cheeks and to the ground. He let out a little whimper before dropping to the ground himself, holding his arm - what Kiba crashed into - close to his side. Kiba automatically stopped his tears, moving to help the younger-looking boy.

"I'm sorry." He said. Naruto looked up at him with teary eyes.

"I-It's fine." He said with a shaky voice. Kiba couldn't think of a good way to apologize accept -

"Do you want to play wit' me and my friends?" Naruto's eyes brightened up and he wiped the wetness from his eyes.

"Can I? Really?" Kiba nodded, causing Naruto to grin in happiness. "Yay!" He cheered. Kiba giggled a little before motioning for Naruto to follow him and running off into the trees. Naruto's smile dropped for half a second and his eyes lost all of their light. This was harder than he thought. But his still has a mission to complete.

With all his features returning to that of an excited little boy, Naruto followed his new little 'friend'.

His mission was going well. Let's just hope it stays that way.

Omake

Danzo got a great idea to make Naruto able to mimic the expression of almost concealed fear. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a book, and showed Naruto one page that was book-marked. On the cover was a little boy cowering away from three shadows. Naruto studied if for a moment before moving his facial muscles into the correct position. Danzo smirked.

"Perfect. Thank god for manga!"
