"Yo." Talking

'Hmm...' Thinking

"Baka" Monster/Celestial Beast talking

Unknown Place

Waka jumped up from his lying position… 'Bad idea' he groaned loudly as his muscles ached from being frozen, "Awake I see." He looked over to the other side of the fire to see that cloaked stranger again; he stiffened and reached for his flute.

"Don't bother; your weapons have been removed while I was healing you." He said, Waka then noticed that Amaterasu was next to him asleep while the cloaked stranger was petting her.

"Took me forever to find out where the ark of yamato as hidden… to think it was the shrine lake…" The stranger said before lowering his hood, "My name is Naruto Uzumaki, Hyo Kyuubi No Okami."

Waka was shocked, and then his eyes rolled back… Waka feinted

Near 4000 years ago.

Amaterasu always thought humans were interesting… that was until she met him a boy no older than four was out in these woods; she was puzzled why was a cub this far away from home? Don't his parents know he's here?

She smelt salt and water… he was crying? She leaned in closer to listen.

"Why… why am I tormented…? I- I've never hurt anyone, so w-why? Why, am I destined to be alone? No father, no mother, no friends?"

She saw something in the boy's hand, a tanto she recognized, her eyes widened and she leapt to stop him.

Naruto was confused and angry, he just wanted to end his pain, that all he wanted. But now even the animals refuse to let me die.

"WHY!" he snarled, but then he just broke down crying…

"I don't want to be here, I want to have family, friends… a life…"

The white and red wolf walked up to him and sat by him looking at him questionably, he smiled and then petted her.

Something was calming him, lulling him to sleep he then realized and let a smile claim him, the legends were true... a hollow sound echoed though the woods... the legendary wolf lullaby singing in the wind, the howls where of sadness and kindness, slowly he started feeling tired "Thank you, Okami-Tenshi." Was all he said before he fell asleep while Amaterasu curled up around him to keep him warm, maybe just maybe he could learn to live once more, the wolfs would allow him to be himself… him and the wolf lullaby.

Just a small scene, pieces like this will be posted around every few chapters looking into Naruto's past.
