I don´t own Naruto

A/N: Sorry for the long update, but had trouble with this chapter, the next chapter will be the last filler before the chuunin exams, i don´t like to make chapters too long so on with the story.

Chapter 3 Haunted castle

Hinata wasn´t happy, on his first mission outside the village Naruto got a girlfriend (in her mind), who is a beautiful, strong and confident kunoichi with a strong kekei genkai, if only she could be as her, she was currently observing them on a training ground meditating and Naruto had to go for his second mission outside the village.

But when she was going to return home, Haku intercepted her.

"Hi Hyuga-san, can I help you?"Asked the older girl

"A-Ano, I-I" Hinata stuttered

Haku narrowed her eyes "Do you plan to hurt him like the rest of the village?"

Hinatas eyes widened in shock "No!, I wo-would never hurt Na-Naruto-kun"

"So you must be that girlfriend he talks so much about?" Haku commented jockingly

"WHAT?"

Haku giggles "Don´t worry, I was just kidding"

Hinata began fidgeting

"So what are you doing here Hyuga-san?" Asked Haku curiously

"I-I, wa-was..." What could she tell her?

"If you tell him how do you feel I don't think he will hurt you Hyuga-san"

Hinata's eyes widened

"It was good to meet you, my name is Haku"

"Hyu-Hyuga Hinata"Said the younger girl, making a light bow wich Haku mirrored.

"You should join us on our training, Naruto-sama said the more the merrier" And with that she left the training grounds, leaving a dumbfounded Hinata on it.

This began the friendship of Hinata and Haku.

Team 7 was expecting their second C-ranked mission from the Hokage. After he sorted them he took one and gave it to Kakashi.

"Ok, team seven your mission is to find and retrieve a child by the name Takeshi, his photo is in the file, he got lost near the outskirts of his hometown in the Land of Neck, I wish you luck" Said the aged Hokage

And with a chorus of "Hai, Hokage-sama" they exited the office.

Neck Country

Kakashi sent his dogs to find some clue about the boy, but when they return they found one was missing, is hard to forget a giant bulldog.

"Ok Pakkun, I suppose Bull found the boy but ound him in bad condition, guide us"

The pug nodded and began sniffing for bull´s scent, once he found it he guided them to it and they found a castle, a creepy one, at least to Naruto.

"G-Guys do you think th-there could be gh-ghosts" Said the blonde

"Why? Afraid dobe?"

"Don´t be stupid Naruto-baka"

"Mah, Naruto, ghosts don´t exist, now let´s go inside and look for Takeshi"

Team 7 opened the doors, they creaked eerily giving Naruto more goosebumps. When they entered Kakashi saw the state of the castle, too good for being abandoned, he summoned another dog, a fast looking one.

"Ok guys, we are going to separate in 2 groups and look around, if you find anything come here, Naruto and Sasuke you go with Pero, Sakura come with me" ordered Kakashi in his serious mode.

And with that all of them parted way.

Naruto was really scared, the castle was really creepy, and he didn´t wanted to be here.

When they were walking in the hall he could swear the armors were following them, and after a while he got his confirmation when they attacked them, he swiftly evaded them, they where really slow and noisy compared to Haku, then again only Zabuza was quieter than her, she even detects ANBU agents all the time, Sasuke threw some kunai at them, they penetrated the armor, but they didn't draw blood, seeing this Naruto unsealed his sword, using its weigh he rapidly cut them in half, after that he armors melted.

After this encounter with the armors they ran to the principal room.

Sakura and Kakashi entered a library and after some exploring she found a scroll that grabbed her attention, and when she read it she stared with terror.

"All my life I protected them, the ones that cursed me with this demon, the ones that shunned me and ignored me, and when I finally find some happiness they take it from me, now that they took my light from me I will make them pay forever, because the demon they gave has power enough to curse this land and make them feel my despair, this is the life of a Jinchuuriki"

"What the hell is this?" she tought

"Seems like the history of the last owner of the castle" Answered her Sensei.

Then they felt the bookstands surrounding them and Sakura screamed , Kakashi took her hand and dragged her fastly to exit the library, when they heard a shout, a child's shout and went in the direction of it.

Kakashi and Sakura got to where both the boy and bull where, but the walls became flesh when they tried to get near, "Summon", they ran quickly to the principal room, he had to find the contract to dismiss the summon before his students got hurt.

When they got to the room he saw Naruto's group there and he sighed in relief, Naruto was really freaked out, muttering something about ghosts and with his sword ready to swing.

"Naruto calm down, this is a summon, like my dogs, just bigger, we need to find the contract to dismiss the creature"Said Kakashi to the blond, making him calm somewhat.

"My name is Shiromari and you will meet the hate of my master"

After Shiromari said that, he began making the principal room walls and floor flesh and tried to eat them, Team 7 was having trouble evading the attacks of shiromari, but then he stopped.

After he stopped his attack a man in an old armor appeared in the room, he pointed to Naruto and signaled him to follow.

"A ghost!" Shouted Naruto

"I think he wants us to follow him" Said Sakura

"No just Naruto, but we still need to see he is fine" Said Kakashi

Team 7 followed the man until he went to a heavy looking door. The door opens itself. When they entered the room they saw the summoning contract, Kakashi was going to pick a kunai from his holder when he saw the man signal to Naruto to sign the contract.

"Naruto he wants you to sign the scroll, open it and sign it with some blood on the next available space" ordered Kakashi.

Naruto gulps but followed Kakashi´s instructions.

"Since my past master deems you worthy me and my family will serve you, but if you are like those fools that shun jinchuuriki I WILL EAT YOU, go outside after I go back my prisoners will not follow me back home" Declared the summon

All the members of team 7 quickly went out of the castle, once they were out of it Shiromari disappeared in a cloud of smoke, leaving Bull and Takeshi on the floor.

On the road to Konoha

"Naruto, I think you should not use the summoning" Said Sakura frightened that Naruto had the scroll with him.

"Why Sakura-chan?" Asked the blonde

"When we were looking on the library, I found a scroll, it said that the past master of Shiromari had a demon inside of him, I don´t think that summoning can be good"

"Shut up Sakura" Said Naruto coldly and shifted his position in the formation to make point, trying to defuse the situation Kakashi just permited it.

Sakura was shocked from what Naruto had told her, didn´t he had a crush with her?, Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

"Kakashi-sensei, is that possible, placing a demon inside a person?" Asked Sasuke

"Yes it is, those people are called jinchuuriki, unfortunately sealing a demon on a person is the only way to kill it, but many jinchuuriki are shunned by their people because they think of them as demons in human flesh, that makes most jinchuuriki to end releasing the demon they were imprisoning and being the first ones to be killed by it, the life of a jinchuriki is never easy"

"But why people fear them so much?"

"All of them gain skills from their prisoner, for example, the jinchuurikis of Shukaku always get the ability to bend sand, but they lose their capacity to sleep"

Sasuke and Sakura where impressed, still Sakura didn´t think it was a fair exchange, Sasuke on the other hand wanted to investigate the sealing procedures.

"Still, why did the past master of Shiromari gave Naruto his summoning contract?"Asked Sakura

"He deemed Naruto worthy, I don't know the values of this summoning contract, so I can't tell you exactly why"

Kakashi seemingly didn´t reacted but internally he was disappointed, it seems that Sakura´s past commentary was going to make Naruto clam from his teammates in his status as jinchuuriki.

Hokage´s Office, Konoha

Kakashi and Naruto finished explaining the Hokage what happened on the Land of Neck. He saw that this mission deeply perturbed Naruto, because the past owner of the contract was a jinchuuriki, and he lost the most important person to him, at the hands of the people he protected from the demon he imprisoned, so he decided to do something drastic, something he didn´t wanted to do until he was a jounin. He dismissed Kakashi and asked Naruto to stay.

"Naruto, what I´m going to tell you is a secret even more important than you having the Kyubi sealed, you can´t tell no one about this" Began Sarutobi

"Yes jiji" Answered the confused blonde

"The truth is that Konoha has a very strict protocol when a jinchuuriki is involved, it involves keeping the identity of the jinchuuriki a complete secret, unfortunately someone got word of your identity as a jinchuuriki and passed the word, by the time we go the culprit the damage was done and I had to make the law you already know" Sarutobi paused "So nobody noticed that you are the third jinchuuriki of the kyubi living here on Konoha"

"WHAT?"

"The Uzumaki clan, from who you are the last survivor, is the only one that can resist the influence of the fox on a dialy basis, believe me some villages tried to capture it before your clan got it" Satated the Hokage as a matter of fact.

"But who was the past jinchuuriki?"

"Your mother, when she was giving birth to you someone attacked the safe place the Yondaime placed for her, somehow took your mother from him and released the Kyubi on Konoha, we still don´t know who did it" While he was explaining this he got to his safe and got a photo of Kushina "She was Uzumaki Kushina, I don´t know how but she convinced your father to take her name instead of she taking his, hehe, she wanted to rebuild the Uzumaki clan here on Konoha"He gives the photo to the blonde "your apartment was hers when she was single, so you are living were she lived"

"Thank you jiji" the blonde said while staring at the face in the photo with tears.

"You should talk with your summons, maybe you could convince them to be a clan summoning contract, oh and the swirl inside our leaf symbol is the Uzumaki swirl, your clan gave us permission to use it on our headbands" Said the old hokage before dismissig the blonde.

A/N: So here is the chapter, the next one will introduce Naruto´s new summons. Oh and Haku told Naruto about Hinata observing them(stalking), since she didn't talked to them Naruto asked Haku to talk to her and see what she wanted, he recognizes that Haku is very smart and she would know what to do.
