What if Naruto had a hidden power that came to be when he fought Mizuki, a bloodline he never knew of? Then he would be known as the Kaze no Arashi, the Wind Storm!

Chapter 39:

The Happiness, The Sadness: The Beginning Of The Dawn!

Yura looked out toward the sand, a dazed look on his eyes as he saw Sasori approach from a distance wearing the cloak of the Akatsuki. One of the guards looked scared, shaking in what was going on.

Akatsuki? They aren't supposed to be here yet based off of Jiraiya-sama's information! What the hell is going on? Did Jiraiya-sama lie to us? The guard thought, panicking as Yura pulled out a kunai, staring expressionlessly at the guard, approaching him slowly. The guard looked over his shoulder to Yura, not seeing the kunai in his hand, just seeing the emotionless face that held a goatee and black hair. "Captain Yura, what are you doing! The Akatsuki are here! Why are you just...?"

"Stop," Yura whispered into the guard's ear, the guard still shaking in fear, eyes wide with what was happening to him, "it'll all be over soon..."

The guard couldn't yell as he felt crimson life flood from the shell that was his body, falling down near the area Sasori was approaching. Yura grew a serious expression as he approached the other guards, forming hand signs. Wind Release: Vacuum Wave! He inhaled the air around him and released it in a breath, waves of deadly air leaving his lungs, tearing the surprised guards apart until none were left. Deidara saw the guards were gone and approached Sasori on his giant clay bird, his artistic creation. He smiled slightly in anticipation, eager to fight the newly instated Kazekage, Gaara of the Desert.

"I'll be going ahead, attacking the village from the air. Bet you can't wait to see my art in action, hmmm, Master Sasori."

Sasori smiled from under his puppet. "You know me all to well, Deidara..."

Deidara smiled with a little chuckle as he took off. Shukaku's host, Gaara of the Sand, the Fifth Kazekage... show me your art!

Uzumaki Naruto looked at the young lady that went through the trees and went right outside the trees, allowing him to get a good look at her. He looked at her cute face, noticing the exotic mint-green hair that was cut short, reminding him slightly of Sakura, the orange hair clip that was held in her hair, and the matching orange eyes that almost made Naruto freak out with happiness. After all, it was still his favorite color. He just didn't have any clean orange pants today. She wore her Takigakure head band on her arm, reminding him of Shikamaru, a short sleeveless white midriff shirt that showed off her toned stomach and fishnet armor underneath the shirt that extended out a bit of the shirt, showing Naruto she trained quite a bit, a white short skirt cover fishnet shorts that she wore, and long white armlets reminded Naruto of Ino since she wore those as well when he last saw her.

Naruto smiled at her, getting her attention as she still was in a stance where he could tell she was cautious of him and why he was here. That and why did he want anything to do with her as nobody in the village really cared for her other than Shibuki and she still didn't really care for him either. Naruto saw a bench and sat at it, tapping it as a sign of him wanting her to come over here.

"I just want to introduce ourselves. I've heard about you from Shibuki and I can tell that we've had a similar life." Fu scowled slightly at the mention of Shibuki telling this boy about her life, though from the sound of this guy, they seem to know each other well. Well, she had heard of a boy with whisker marks, an Uchiha, Hatake Kakashi, and some pink-haired kunoichi team from Konohagakure that helped out Shibuki and the village a while back. Naruto even took off his conical hat, setting it down on the ground by his feet, revealing to her his full handsome face. His cheeks bore the whisker marks that first caught her eyes, spiky, blond hair that hung down his forehead protector, his deep, cerulean eyes that seemed like oceans in themselves, and his signature grin that made Fu's cheeks slightly flush. This caused her to shake her face a bit, making Naruto think she was a little embarrassed being with someone for the first time in a while. He chuckled as silent as he could, allowing Fu not to hear.

"I'll start then," Naruto said, his clenched fist hitting his chest. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto, a chunin of Konohagakure, the Village Hidden in the Leaves. What I like is training, my precious people like my senseis over the years, my teammates, my friends, ojii-san, obaa-san, and ramen, especially when its bought for me." He smiled, remembering Iruka paying for his ramen back in the day. "What I dislike is the three minutes I have to wait before I can eat my ramen and anybody that tries to attack my friends and my village." Fu had a sweat dropped expression on her face, thinking almost the only thing he talked about other than people important to him was ramen. "And my dream..." This got her attention, hoping it was something other than being a ramen chef. "...is to surpass all of the Hokage, present and past, and have the people of Konohagakure acknowledge my existence." This got Fu wide eyed, surprised at what this young man said to her. "Hmm... My hobbies were pranks back when I was a kid..." He has a childish smile on his face at remembering all the pranks he did, chuckling a bit at some. "...but it seems nowadays its all about training. Now, how about you?"

Fu shook her head, looking at Naruto, telling him she was ready to introduce herself. "I'm Fu, a kunoichi of Takigakure. What I like is training. What I dislike is the villagers of Takigakure... no I hate all of humanity... for they have put me through hell..." This made Naruto frown, the way she talked reminded him of himself, Gaara, and Sasuke. "My dream is something more of what I hope would happen, that I would have a life... Some happiness to take away my sadness, something to calm me when I get angry... Not like that will happen anyway... My hobby is just training... that is all."

Naruto frowned at what this village did to her, his fists clenched tightly as a scowl went over his face, anger beginning to fill his body. Fu looked over, gasping at the look on the chunin's face. She didn't know that he would react like that. She frowned, think that anger was for her. She sighed sadly, tears about to fall as she thought it was over. It seems I'll never find happiness after all... She got up from the bench, getting Naruto's attention, stopping his anger. "I'm sorry... See you..."

Right as she was about to take off, Naruto gripped her arm, stopping her from leaving. "I should have told you what I really was from the beginning..." Naruto muttered just loud enough for her to hear, causing her eyes to widen, thinking about what he really was. "I'm Uzumaki Naruto, jinchuriki of the Kyuubi, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox..." This made the girl gasp, tears coming down her cheeks in finally seeing someone that was like her. "I have faced something similar to what you have faced, no friends, no family... Just the faces of laughing, scared, angry villagers filling your mind with hateful names, spiteful names, names that just tear you apart... But I found happiness in my senseis, the former Hokage, my teammates and it grew... Soon, I became friends with another jinchuriki from the Sand Village..., some of my classmates in the Ninja Academy..., the present Hokage,... that pervy sage I have for a teacher..." Naruto chuckled at his mention of Jiraiya. Over time, my sadness became happiness and I want that for you..." Fu gapsed when Naruto pulled her, turned her to face him, a true smile on his lips as he let go of her, extending his arms out. "I want you to feel that happness and let go of the anger and the sadness... Will you allow me to help turn that sadness into happiness, Fu-chan...?"

Fu gasped, tears streaming down from her orange pools to her cheeks, as she ran into him, knocking him over as she just kept gripping at him, crying and repeatedly saying, "Yes...," into his chunin jacket. He chuckled and smiled as he held Fu in an embrace, happy to have found a new friend, someone he could make happy.

Now, all I have to do is talk to Shibuki and Ero-sennin to allow me to take her with me... Hopefully, it's a yes...

Deidara smiled at what Gaara did and his art, the jinchuriki wrapped in the tail of his clay bird. "It seems not having to kill you has harder than I expected..., but in the end, my job is done... The mission has been accomplished..."

Kankuro scowled at the leaving Deidara, racing after him. Gaara...

Some of the Sand shinobi tried to stop him to no avail, preparing to issue documents to Knohagakure to issue teams to help recover their jinchuriki, but more importantly, their Kazekage.

Kankuro raced following the clay bird as he noticed it landed a little distance outside of the village. He kept running, even faster as he looked to see all the guard brutally killed, crimson life staining their corpses. Kankuro was freaked out, looking at the destruction. This is insane... Then, he remembered Gaara, scowling again, as he raced forward, seeing another Akatsuki with the one that captured Gaara. Kankuro growled, taking out his scrolls, unleashing his puppets and yelling at them, "Halt!"

Sasori and Deidara turned around to see the glaring Kankuro and his three puppets. "Give Gaara back to me, or you'll be dead on the ground."

Sasori laughed, "Deidara..., go on ahead of me... I'll take care of this puppet master..."

Deidara hopped on his bird, "Hmm, alright then, Master Sasori... Don't take too long with the boy..."

"Like I'll let you go as you please!" Kankuro made Crow launch forward, ready to strike only to be surprised as a tail popped from Sasori's cloak, making his hat drop from his head.

"I don't like making people wait, so I'll deal with you in the quickest way possible..." Sasori spoke deeply, wanting to get this over with.

Tsunade sighed at the paperwork on her desk... Oh, how much she hated this stuff... I just wish something more important would come up that would allow me not having to do...

"Hokage-sama!" Yurika charged in, her short brown hair swaying as she moved and handed her that message. "It seems that the Kazekage has been kidnapped by Akatsuki!"

Tsunade sighed once again. I just had to think... "Alright, call down Hatake Kakashi and Sakura Haruno to report to Suna. They'll probably run into Temari after all. I'll call in Gai's team as reinforcements."

Yurika saluted Tsunade, "Right on it, Tsunade-sama!"

Tsunade sighed and thought to herself, her fingers massaging the bridge of her nose.. When will I ever have a relaxing day...

"You want me to do what, Naruto?"

Naruto sighed and had a tick mark on his forehead. "I want you to make papers that will allow you to transfer Fu-chan to Konohagakure, Shibuki-san!" He gripped Fu, causing her to blush at all the attention she was getting as she wasn't used to it.

"Do you really think I would just do it? Give me a reason I should do it, Naruto... Shibuki said from his desk, making Naruto scowl at the leader of Takigakure.

"Do I need to give you a reason! You," Naruto pointed angrily at Shibuki, "should know what she goes through in this village! You should know what is best for her! And that is moving to Konohagakure!"

"Calm down, Naruto." Jiraiya spoke up, getting everyone's attention, making Fu realise that the fabled Gama Sennin Jiraiya was before her. "Shibuki, I believe that Naruto is right. After what you have told me and Naruto of her condition in the village, you know she would be better to travel with Naruto and I until we reach Konohagakure where we can figure out where she will live and such. Don't you think that would be the right thing to do...?"

"But the village, the council will...

Fu suddenly bowed, shocking everyone, in front of Shibuki's desk. "Please, Shibuki-san, let me go with these two... Let me find happiness... Please, just let me have a life!"

Tears kept falling from her eyes as Naruto helped her up, embracing her tightly, letting her cry into his vest once again. Shibuki sighed and smiled lightly at the two, knowing that they already were growing a bond.

They will be inseparable... Shibuki thought, smiling sadly. "Alright, I'll do it now and tell the council tomorrow so they can't do anything with you already gone..."

Naruto and Fu smiled as Naruto rushed and embraced Shibuki. "Ah, I knew you would do that, Shibuki-san! That's why I love you!"

Shibuki had a tick mark on his forehead as he screamed, "Naruto, get off of me!"

Fu and Jiraiya broke out laughing, knowing that this was the beginning of something great.

"So," Hatake Kakashi said, looking at the body of the Kazekage that rested on Sakura's lap and Chiyo approached Gaara, looking determined as Sakura let out a few tears, shaking her head sadly, knowing how hard this would affect Naruto when he heard about it. Kakashi knew as well as he sighed, looking sadly at the body of Gaara. Temari began to cry, having Sakura and Ten-Ten comfort he as Chiyo put her hands on the already dead Gaara's chest, her jutsu starting.

Sakura gasped in realization, "Lady Chiyo, that jutsu is...!"

Chiyo looked over to Sakura, her eyes showing that she had a smile on her face.

Neji had his Byakugan activated. This flow of chakra...

"What is she doing...?" Lee asked, wondering why this old lady was doing something to the dead jinchruiki.

Sakura looked determined at Lee, "She is going to bring Gaara back to life!"

This shocked everyone as Chiyo just kept the jutsu up. Could she really do that...?

Kakashi looked at Chiyo's hands. A jutsu like this must carry a risk as big as the reward.

Chiyo flinched a bit at noticing what was going on with the jutsu, her eyes widening. Not enough chakra...

As if noticing it, Temari rose up and put her hands out, getting Chiyo's attension. "If it's to get my brother back to me, then I'll help you out by giving you some of my chakra."

Sakura went down to Chiyo and did the same. "Yes, Chiyo-sama! Allow me to help as well, even though I have not much chakra. I use as much as I can to help. She chuckled sadly, "I'd hate to see Naruto's reaction to Gaara becoming Kazekage without being able to see his face. I can't imagine how Naruto would feel with Gaara gone."

Chiyo nodded, allowing them to help. "Temari, Sakura, I can tell that you will become very strong kunoichi. Temari, keep supporting your brothers and the village. I know you'll become a splendid Suna kunoichi." Temari smiled, nodded, tears coming out of her eyes. "Sakura, I can tell you that not many have that drive that you have. I haven't seen one as strong as yours since your masters. I know you're going to be an even greater kunoichi than Tsunade." Sakura nodded with tears threatening to come out. "I know that this Naruto is a great friend of Gaara and he sounds like he'll become a great shinobi himself, maybe even Hokage. I know that Suna and Konoha will flourish together. I know it from both of its shinobi now. Tell Naruto about what I have said."

"I'll send a letter to him by my shinobi hound, Pakkun, right now." Kakashi said, starting to write the letter and summon Pakkun.

Chiyo stopped her jutsu as Gaara started to come to and some of the Suna shinobi started to surround them. Sakura cried a little as she approached Kakashi, who was about finished with his letter.

"Kakashi-sensei," Sakura's voice got his attention, "can I use your pen and some paper? I want to write Naruto something as well..."

Kakashi eye-smiled at her, handing her the ink, pen and a blank sheet of paper. "Go on ahead, Sakura..."

Sakura smiled sadly at him, wiping her tears away, grabbing the stuff from him as she sat on the ground, chuckling at the fan-girls arguing over who got to see Gaara, but Temari rushed in, yelling at them to back off him. Then, she started to write until she finished. She sighed at her letter and smiled at its contents after proof-reading it, happy to find no errors. She handed them to Kakashi, who gave them to Pakkun, who immediately rushed toward Naruto and Jiraiya's scent.

It had been a day since Naruto, Fu and Jiraiya had left Takigakure, with Naruto and Fu growing attached to each other. Naruto began to her most of his life in Konoha, not noticing how whenever he talked happily about his female teammate, Sakura, Fu started to frown or even scowl a bit. They had set up camp so to speak at a little village when Jiraiya went outside of the inn, ready to conduct some research while Naruto talked to Fu. He chuckled perversely until he noticed Pakkun dashing toward him.

His eyes grew serious, his face serious as well as he stopped almost giggling at what he was about to do. This must be serious if Kakashi sent one of his ninja dogs directly to me...

He noticed that there were two letters attached to Pakkun and he reached and grabbed them as Pakkun just told him to read the letters. Pakkun disappeared as Jiraiya saw one letter was written by Kakashi and the other was by Naruto's pink-haired teammate, Sakura. Jiraiya chuckled at what reaction Fu and Naruto would make when he announced Sakura sent a letter for his student. He opened the letter from Kakashi and read the contents as he began to curse and scowl at the contents until Kakashi wrote that he wanted a new Ichi-Ichi as a p.s., making Jiraiya lightly chuckle but suddenly, his face grew a saddened expression.

He sighed as he went back up to the room where Naruto and Fu were located, opening up the door.

"Ero-sennin, why are yo-"

"Here," Jiraiya said, tossing a letter at his student, causing Naruto to grow a confused expression, "it's a letter from that Sakura chick that you're teammates with." He silently chuckled as he saw Fu's slightly enraged expression and Naruto's happy expression until he left the room, growing a sad expression as he went on his way, going out of the inn.

Naruto began to read as his expression became from total bliss to total saddness and anger. Fu tried to peak at the letter and, then, noticed Naruto's expression as he crumbled up the paper angrily, not even reading it all, and tossed it into a waste bin, almost knocking over the bin as he went toward the door.

"Naruto...," Fu said as Naruto turned slightly to Fu, his eyes showing pain and anguish and hatred.

"I need to be alone..." Naruto muttered loud enough for Fu to hear him and, then, he took off...
