One's greatest treasure is not wealth, but the happiness from having friends and family.
One's greatest pain is not from being poor, but from losing a loved one.

"Iron, crystal, silver, gold, bronze, and gemstones. You've somewhat mastered the basics, meaning it's time for you to move onto adding in the different Affinity's into them. With these, you'll be able to make steel. With this you'll be able to stretch your abilities even further. You'll become powerful, once you master this. We're going to start out with adding Wind Chakra into your needles..", Jubi's voice started.
Naruto barely paid any attention, only picking up the more important sets of words that came out. Kimimaro was forced into meditating, in order for him to fully learn some technique Jubi created. Naruto himself is barely moving into adding the different Elements into his Kekkai Gekkai. In the end, he knew, it will make him even stronger. He'll be powerful, and very hard to be beat. Jubi said it'll be easier to master than working with mastering the minerals, since all he has to do it master the element itself before he moves onto adding them into his techniques.
"I want you to create a total of thousand Shadow Clones, and a leaf in half.", Jubi said, showing him a leaf. She placed it gently her palm, and it cut straight in half.
"I am a master of all the Chakra Elements, and so I can easily complete these practices to master the Element. Shadow Clones will help you master it quicker, as I've already explained, you gain the experience, memories, and knowledge of each of your Shadow Clones when their dispelled. Good luck.", Jubi grinned, as Naruto obeyed her orders.
After making sure every one of them had a leaf, she left.

A week passed, before Naruto was finally able to cut the leaf. It took another week for him to be able to do it without even thinking, and it took an extra day to learn every single thing Jubi knew about Wind Chakra.
Finally, Jubi moved him on.
"Now, the wussies usually use a Waterfall, but we, are going to use this boulder.", Jubi grinned, patting the large boulder that sat next her.
"Excuse me?", Naruto gaped.
"Once your able to cut this boulder in one clean-cut, using only Wind Chakra, we'll move on.", Jubi snickered, giving him a wave.
Naruto groaned, and placed two hands on the boulder and started his practicing.
-o-0-o-0-o-
Jubi watched in approval, as the boulder cut right in half.
"Good job, Naruto.", she grinned, throwing him a pebble.
"Now, do it to that small pebble.", she stated, Naruto shrugged.
Putting it on his palm, he channeled Wind Chakra through it. It then broke into multiple pieces.
"Control.", Jubi giggled, "This should take a day or two..", she murmured, as Naruto groaned.
She tossed him a sack of pebbles, "Get to work!", she grinned.
Naruto complied, sitting criss-cross on the ground as he got to work.

It took Naruto a total of three weeks and four days, for Naruto to master Wind Chakra.
"Now that we have that covered. We're going to work with adding Wind Chakra into your needles, kunai, shurikun, and over flying weapons you have.", Jubi stated, grinning.
"By doing so, it'll not only make the weapons fly faster but they'll be able to right through multiple boulders, depending how much Chakra you're able to add.", Naruto nodded.
"Correct.", Jubi smirked, "You're going to start with adding Wind Chakra into your needles, then onto everything else on any order you wish.", she stated.
"There is just one minor setback... for this, you'll be using a set of handseals.", Jubi stated, "Well, at least when your just starting to do it. With enough training, you won't have to use any handseals.
"It's not a setback, my attacks just have to speed up, and if I can master it quickly I don't have to use handseals..", Naruto sighed.
"Exactly why I named it a MINOR setback.", she glared, huffing, "Listen to more than the choice words of yours.", she said.
"Yeah, yeah...", Naruto returned, smirking.

"Naruto-sama?", Kimimaro asked, as he entered the training arena. It was midnight, and Kimimaro himself was about to go to sleep.
"What is it, Kimimaro?", Naruto asked, glaring at the scrolls of each handseal in front of him.
"Why are you training so hard? What is your.. ambition? I know it's not my place to ask, but...", Kimimaro muttered, fiddling his fingers.
"It's fine.", Naruto laughed, "I want to be stronger, so when the war comes around I can help end it as quickly as possible. I don't want..", he paused, he swallowed as if he was swallowing something thick, "I don't want my sister to be hurt, I don't want her to become like any other mature Ninja out there. Too aware of the world, and it's murders. I gave my innocence the moment I met Jubi, I don't want hers to be lost. She's too good for this world, and in order to keep her safe from the power-hungry Leaf Council of Konohagakure, I have to destroy it. She may hate me for it, though.", he murmured, bitterness seeping through his tone and eyes.
Kimimaro spoke, "It sounds as if you gave up everything for her, aren't you happy?", he asked, "Not for her, but for yourself?", he asked, albeit frowning.
"I'm happy to be with Jubi, to have Jashin, to have Kakuzu and Hidan, and to have you. My over loyal partner.", Naruto grinned, "I not only want to get stronger, but I need to become stronger. Not only for my sister, but for Jubi. I owe them both. Saya may be the only thing tying me to any moral, Jubi is like a second mother to me.", he said.
"I'll help you.", Kimimaro stated, "I do not fully understand your feelings.. but from what I can, I feel as if I owe you. I'll help you, but getting stronger and doing anything you tell of me.", he said.
Naruto smiled, a soft, bitter, almost broken smile.
"Do me a favor Kimimaro, when I leave this realm, when I go to Hell with Jubi...", he paused, "Watch over my sister, keep her safe.", he whispered.
"I promise to keep her safe. I promise to always listen to your orders.", Kimimaro whispered back, looking down.

Saya looked out of the empty window frame, in the rented, two-room, hotel room. She couldn't help but feel a little sad, as she always does when she sees a Full Moon.
A Full Moon reminds her of wolves, and wolves remind her of her brother's love for wolves, which reminds her of ten, which reminds of her the Jubi, which reminds her that the 'Sign of the End of the World' is sealed inside her brother, which reminds her-.. Well, the list goes on and on.
"Saya?", Jiraiya called, entering the room with a frown, "I said the ramen got here.", he stated.
"What's wrong?", he asked, moving over to sit next to her.
"Ero-sensei... do you think Naruto will ever return?", Saya whispered.
"Naruto... I can't say much, but I can say he cares about you. He kept Kakashi alive, for ya.", Jiraiya attempted to cheer her up.
He failed.
"Not about his personality, or his actions. He's always been cold, and I know he barely has any morals at all. I feel as if the Jubi has something to do with that, why else would a kid, younger than twelve, start killing civilians? I meant about him returning to Konoha. ", Saya sighed.
"He could return. If it was for any reason, I know it would be for you.", Jiraiya said.
"I miss him.", Saya whispered, tears starting to roll down her cheeks.
"It's okay..", Jiraiya whispered, wanting to comfort her. It's not his best quality.
Saya turned and hugged Jiraiya tightly, "Ero-sensei, promise me that you'll never leave me. I don't want to lose anyone else.", she whispered.
"I promise.", Jiraiya returned, giving his pupil a smile.
Saya broke down in heavy sobs.
She finally let everything loose.
The pain of her brother's and Sasuke's betrayal the hurt from knowing her brother is a monster, the sadness from missing her parents, the want to have a somewhat normal life, the pain knowing she can't go back in time and change everything..
She feels like a weak little girl, as Jiraiya runs his fingers through her hair, soothing her just slightly.
"It'll be okay, Saya.", Jiraiya's voice whispered, "One day, you'll find your own happiness.", his whispers barely reached Saya's ears in her sobs that soaked the Sannin's clothes.

Sasuke stared up at the dark sky, feeling rather bitter. He hated the Full Moon the most. Some would find that unreasonable, but he could still remember the Full Moon's reflection against the pools of blood at the Uchiha Compound.
One day, he would kill his brother who killed his whole clan, merely to test himself.
One day, he'll have Itachi's blood sprayed across his hands and clothes.

Jubi hummed to herself, watching as Naruto and Kimimaro trained.
Kimimaro gained a new fire, and is training even harder. From meditating, he's now practicing the set of Liquid Bone Justu she created. He's working hard, but from her guesses, he'll barely master it by this year ends. She knows he can do it, and she knew he needed a push, something to really inspire it. He found it, though she doesn't know what.
She also notices how attached Kimimaro is to Naruto, some would say it's like a lost puppy clinging to its new owner. She would see it's like a young child looking up to his older brother, despite the fact Kimimaro is older. Kimimaro sees Naruto as a big brother, someone who is stronger than the rest, someone who will always come out on top... Kimimaro sees Naruto as a God, with a capital G.
Naruto himself seems to have gained more of an attachment to Kimimaro, and Jubi hopes it's another attachment to some moral. She knew he needed it, even she has a moral. He barely has one at all.
Jubi smiled to herself, knowing that these two will one day be unbeatable together. Even though she can't understand it, she knows they both will earn something from each other.
Kimimaro shall give Naruto more moral, more attachments and bonds. Naruto shall give Kimimaro something that he never had, someone to actually care for him and hopefully teach him that he doesn't need to cling to anyone.
What a complicated life, for the small group.
Authors Note:
I've finally given out the full reason why Naruto really cares so much for Saya. I feel kinda sappy after writing this chapter... and it's 2:08 AM. I think I'll go get some sleep after finishing up this note, and writing a tiny bit of the next chappie.
SO MUCH BONDING! I did put a lot of sappiness into this chapter, and mostly to add into the drama later on when- *coughcough*, woopsie, that 's a secret.
You have to remember, as mentioned before, Saya never really had much of a father of Minato other than the few times she got from him. She may have been a 'Daddy's Little Girl', but she never was around him that much growing up. She had her mother and Naruto. Later on, I'll include flashbacks more into their childhood that I never included merely to increase the drama.
I'm attempting to keep some humor in this story, since the whole story is very dark themed, if you can't tell yet. I always add in these little crack scenes, hoping that it will keep the mood light later on.
