CHAPTER THREE: Capture

"Naruto. . . I have heard that name before," Tyler said, pondering at the answer.

Naruto knew it was too good to be true. 'Now they are going to leave me behind and avoid me' he thought.

"Isn't he from that anime and magna 'Naruto' that your sister watches Robert?" Tyler asked.

"Anime and magna?" Naruto asked while cocking an eyebrow.

"I knew this kid looked familiar!" Robert said excitedly. "You are Uzumaki Naruto, Konoha's number 1 most unpredictable and loudmouth ninja, container of Kyuubi no Kitsune and hero of Konoha," he finished.

"Kyuubi? But I thought by the Fourth Hokage," Naruto said quietly.

"From what I can remember from my sister's constant babble about you, the Fourth couldn't kill the Fox so he sacrificed himself in order to seal it," Robert explained.

"So that means," Naruto started with tears coming into his eyes.

"Nope," Tyler interrupted, "let Robert finish."

"Thanks Tyler. Anyway the seal on your stomach keeps you and Kyuubi separate but it allows you to gain access to his chakra. Also because he has so much of it you have a high chakra reserve and Kyuubi's healing ability."

Naruto stood quietly, still not quite believing he was not the Fox.

Robert saw the doubt in his face and sighed. "Look, let me put it another way" he started. Naruto looked up with curiosity. "If you were Kyuubi you would have turned this little village into a smoldering crater by now; but you didn't, meaning that you and Kyuubi are two different entities," he said calmly.

'He must be right,' Naruto thought happily. "Thanks for telling me, but there is still one more question I have," he said.

"Huh?" Robert asked.

"How come no one told me before?" Naruto questioned.

"That I have no idea, sorry." Robert stated matter of factly.

"It's okay, I would have expect-"he started to say but was interrupted by Tyler and Robert's motion sensors going off. Six targets were behind them and another five were in front of them about 10 meters away. Their instincts aroused Tyler stood up and stepped in between Naruto and the unknown targets. Robert turned around to face the six behind while grabbing the hilt of his claymore and taking it out of the holster. He raised it, ready to defend his partner and Naruto. (A/N: Robert assumed a fencing saber stance.)

"What's going on?" Naruto asked, a bit worried.

"We've got company. Five in front of me and six in front of Robert," Tyler answered.

"How do you know that?" Naruto questioned.

"We have a device in our armor called a motion sensor. It allows us to detect any motion within a 360 degree radius; very helpful for preventing an ambush," Tyler explained.

"If you people were in the mob that attacked Naruto, I'll be sure to tear you in half," Robert said to the approaching targets. For extra emphasis he lifted his left hand and punched the wall next to him. Boom! His hand left a crater about 2 feet in diameter and 3 inches deep. "Literally," he finished his threat.

Both Tyler and Naruto were stunned and thought 'better not piss him off really bad, he could kill me'.

The eleven red dots on their sensors flashed for a few seconds and then returned to the original glow, indicating the so-called 'enemy' seemed to be surprised a four year old had that much strength.

One of the dots started to walk toward Tyler. A deep voice came from the shadows and said "We mean you no harm. The Hokage just wishes to speak with you."

Tyler turned on his comm microphone and turned off his outer speakers.

Static "What do you think Robert?" asked Tyler.

Robert repeated Tyler's motions and replied,

Static "We don't have much of a choice. If we start a fight here in such close quarters one-on-one we would have a shot; but since it's eleven against two and we have the kid we wouldn't stand much of a chance."

Static "What about Naruto?" Tyler asked.

Static "He can't hold his own against ninjas yet. He doesn't go to the academy for another two years, so we would be 'babysitting' him in a fight," said Robert.

Static "Man this sucks ass, what should we do?" Tyler questioned.

Static "We do what they say for right now. If these people were with the mob attacking Naruto then we will try to make an escape later."

Static "Understood. Over and out," Tyler stated and shut off his comm link.

Robert also turned off his comm mike and reactivated his outer speakers. "Alright, we'll come along with you for now," he told the voice. As he spoke he holstered the claymore.

A gray-haired man approached them from the shadows. He was wearing a weird looking uniform with a dog mask covering his face.

Tyler and Robert heard Naruto breathe a deep sigh of relief. "Its okay Robert and Tyler," he said. "They are ANBU ninjas; old man Hokage's body guards and 'cops' that enforce the important laws. We are safe with them," he explained.

Robert and Tyler were still unsure. Robert didn't know too much about the ANBU except they were elite Jounin. The only Jounin Robert knew would be a threat was Kakashi because of his speed.

The other red dots also came out of the shadows after Naruto's explanation. All of them were also wearing the same uniform but each of them had on a different mask. Robert figured it was to tell each other apart and he began to make mental notes concerning each one.

Three of the ninjas approached the manhole cover that Naruto, Robert and Tyler had come through. "Okay you three go up," one of them said.

Tyler went first, followed closely by Naruto and then Robert. Once they were once again above ground the other ANBU ninjas appeared in puffs of smoke.

"Ok," The ANBU with the dog mask said in a lazy voice, " please follow us to the Hokage's office, Raven please tell Hokage-sama that we found them and they are fine."

"Hai!" said the man wearing a bird face mask before disappearing in a puff of smoke. (A/N: I wasn't sure if ANBU agents use code names or not but with the face masks I sort of figured they do.)

"Please be so kind as to follow me," the dog masked ANBU said.

Along their route everyone they encountered gave Naruto usual hated glares.

'Now I understand their looks, but why won't they understand that if it wasn't for me they would be in the belly of a demon,' Naruto thought to himself.

A voice suddenly shouted out, "Because some humans are arrogant and to thick headed!"

'Who said that?' Naruto questioned looking from side to side. The voice had sounded strangely close by but he couldn't tell who had said it.

"Who do you think Kit?" the voice replied sarcastically.

'Kyuubi?' Naruto questioned.

"BINGO! Give the kit a prize!" Kyuubi said.

Naruto growled at the Fox in hatred.

"Naruto, are you okay?" Tyler asked him.

"Uhh. . ." he replied. He couldn't tell him verbally Kyuubi was talking to him so he patted his stomach trying to indicate it was the Fox.

Tyler understood the gesture perfectly and reached into his utility belt. He pulled out an ear piece and handed it to Naruto. Naruto looked at it and then questionably at Tyler. Robert pointed silently to the ear piece and then to his ear. Naruto nodded and put it in his ear.

Static "Was it Kyuubi? Nod your head for yes and shake it side to side for no," Robert told him through the ear piece.

Naruto's eyes opened widely in surprise and then slowly nodded his head.

Static "Okay, don't tell me now what he said. Wait until we get to the Hokage; I bet he may have a few questions for him, understand?" Robert told him.

Naruto nodded silently again.

Static "Good, now please give the ear piece back to Tyler. I think it is his only one," Robert said matter-of-factly.

Naruto nodded while removing the ear piece and stealthily handed it back to Tyler. Several minutes later they reached the Hokage tower. In front of the main entrance stood the Hokage himself.

"Aahhh," Tyler screamed in surprise to see him there. Tyler then vanished from everyone's sight. "Damn," he continued, "don't scare me like that!"

Everyone heard him but couldn't see him; they started looking all around each other.

"Hey Tyler, where in the hell are you?" Robert asked worriedly.

"What do you mean where am I? I'm right in front of you dude," he replied.

"I don't think so, if you were I would be able to see you idiot!" Robert stated.

"I'M RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR F#$ING FACE!" Tyler shouted.

"Really? If you say so, stand still for a minute." Robert told him. He then turned to Naruto and said, "Naruto, see if he's there."

Naruto looked at Robert as if he was insane. "What? Why me?" he yelled.

Robert looked straight into Naruto's eyes. Even with Robert's visor in the down position Naruto still got a cold chill running down his spine. (A/N: Imagine Kakashi's cold stare but a lot worse.) "Cause I said so," Robert said sternly with a small growl at the end.

"Y-y-yes sirrr," Naruto stammered. He was already close to where Tyler had been so he reached out his hand and waved it in front of himself. His hand struck something hard. He reached out and felt what he believed to be Tyler's armor.

"HOLY SHIT! You are invisible Tyler!" he yelled.

"Realllllyyyy? COOL! I can pull some awesome pranks with this!" he said with a smirk.

"Can I join you? I can think of some pretty good ones," Naruto told him grinning in such a way that made the ANBU and the Hokage turn ghost white with fear.

Robert slapped his own forehead and looked up toward the sky. "Oh no," he groaned. He had a sudden flashback to the last time Tyler pulled a prank. He had gotten suspended from the school for two weeks; with this new ability of his he would be nearly unstoppable.

"Hey," Tyler questioned, "how do I get back to normal?"

"That's a really good question dude," Robert replied.

"Try thinking about being visible again," suggested the Hokage.

"Okay, I'll give it a shot," Tyler said. He concentrated hard on wanting to be visible again and slowly but surely he started to turn transparent then visible. He started touching his arms and asked, "Can you see me now?"

Naruto and Robert nodded in ascension.

The Hokage smiled warmly at the three and said, "Well now that is settled, please step inside my office. The rest of you can go for now, oh, except you Kakashi."

"Hai," replied the dog face masked man.

Damn that took awhile the next chapter is going to be a long one the explination on how Tyler and Robert got into narutos world is coming up. plz R&R
