CHAPTER 3
Sanctuary
The dark was their home, it was their kingdom, while in their domain not a soul could do them harm. Or that is what they thought, but for the first time since the founding of the Bat Tribes their peace was threatened, by a small child no less, albeit a small HUMAN child.
They flew quickly to reach the rock formation that Kage had told them the boy had appeared at. It was odd to the Lord of the Bats, Kage had insisted that the child had appeared out of nothingness, but surely that couldn't be so, could it?
"We have almost arrived, what should we do when we get there Yami-sama?"
"Nothing, Yoru, you and Kage do nothing, I will go and speak to the ningen alone."
"Why, Yami-sama? Is there nothing we can do?"
"I see, you have forgotten Kage, the reason we Bats live outside the world of man. Humans fear us because they cannot look past our appearances, the boy need not be frightened more than necessary."
"But YOU forget Yami-sama , humans cannot see in this darkness, he wont be able to fear our faces if he can't see them"
"Agreed, but do YOU want to deal with a frightened child?"
"..."
"Thought not"

The darkness surrounded him but he had never felt more at peace. He was out of the village, he was able to take revenge for someone he cared for, although he didn't LIKE killing nor the smell of blood on his hand, and he had even managed to make a new friend in this odd bat called Kuro.
"And there was this one time that I drugged Kage's food, you shoulda seen him HA he couldn't even fly straight! And then there was this other time whe-"
"Kuro, is this the human Kage spoke of... and only now do I realize that was a dumb question."
"YEP YEP, this is Uzumaki Naruto, he comes from Konoha, and he said he had a request for you but I couldn't get him to talk about it."
"Really? Well ningen, I shall hear your request but first you must answer a few questions"
"I will tell you anything you need to know, I have nothing to hide Bat-sama... also please call me Naruto, I may be human but I do have a name."
*deep raspy wheezy chuckle* "yes I see, forgive me but its not too often we have visitors, it seems I've forgotten my manners"
"all is forgiven, and I ask yours for trespassing in your domain"
"So long as you are not here to cause trouble you have no need to ask, now if I may ask my questions?"
"I believe it would be easier if I were to tell you a bit of a story, rather than you trying to ask the right questions"
"Very well, but I may still have more questions after you are done"
"Hai... but, umm, before that, my curiosity has gotten the better of me, I always thought boss summons where big, and while you may be large judging by your voice, you are no bigger than a man, why is that?"
"A curious and insightful one, you may very well be a bat yourself young Naruto. I sound small because I am, at the moment. You see unless fighting someone of great size bats often stay in a smaller form, its quite useful and we don't have to eat nearly as much to survive, now, I believe you had a tale to tell us?"
"Hai, Yami-sama, you see..."
He told them everything, about Kyuubi's attack, about the sealing, about the villagers and their abuse, the beating and torture(physical and mental), being starved, hated, alone, ignored, and finally why and how he had come to be here in the Eien no dōkutsu.
"So what is it you want here Naruto-kun, I will do my best to help you, but you must understand, this cave is hardly human friendly, it doesn't matter how bat-like that human is."
"I would like to stay here, to train with your kind, to make this my home, and to become strong enough to protect all those precious to me, will you allow it?"
"Yes, but you will be shown no special treatment, understand? So long as you are here you are part of our Tribe, the only help you will get outside of training is Kuro helping you find your way around"
"Not that I'm complaining, but why me?"
"Because you wouldn't complain, now, lets go get you settled in, shall we?"
Chap end
its short but I need help with chap 4, I have a poll up to see what you guys think
the poll is to figure out how I should go about explaining Naruto's training
Options: time skip
training breakdown
or a training arch
I know, last minute BLAH BLAH BLAH but I didn't exactly think about it till now
character summary- Uzumaki Naruto
current age- 5
abilities- advanced intelligence, Kyuubi chakra enhancement, enhanced senses
personality- due to his upbringing and Kyuubi's influence, Naruto grew up fast, at the age of five he already has teenage level maturity, he acts as an odd combination of regality and playfulness/ joker-ness... best way to describe it would be by combining different characters from other things, example- Sesshōmaru and Shippō from Inuyasha, a less assholish Vegeta and Goku from DBZ, or Byakuya Kuchiki and Kon from bleach.
This may be a harem, I'm not sure yet so if you want to give your input that would be appreciated
If you have any suggestions for my story I'd like to hear them... I have no real set path for this story, not even a basic outline, I'm kinda just pulling shit out my ass as I go along, so ideas could be of use but I don't guarantee I'll use them
