Save Me From Darkness Chapter 6

Yo Peeps, GMG here with chapter 6 of SMFD. I apologize again for the long wait like with my other stories. I am in all truth using a hotel computer to do this right now. As I'm typing, I'm waiting for my iPod to update my fanfic app's stories so I can see what my last chapter was… Yep I have no freaking clue what I've typed beforehand. This is due to my shot memory… Maybe it was a bad idea to have 280 stories, 243 of which need daily updates. If I remember correctly, I was still typing flashbacks. Also, this chapter will have a Sasuke flashback due to a complaint about how I didn't go much into his kindness towards Naruto or something like that. Now… I have something amusing (to me at least) to do. Another author, KyuubiGoku, has done this, so I thought it'd be fun to try.

GateMasterGreen: New Chapter! WOOOO! I AM READY!

Tyson Graywall (OC, GateMaster): Calm down, will you?

GMG: … hehehe nope

TG: Figures. At least Vizar(OC) isn't causing trouble.

VC: What about me? *checks watch* Aren't we supposed to be messing with Naruto's life right now?

NU: Yeah, but why are you messing with my life like this?

All: Because it's fun.

NU: *sweatdrops* Ok?

Konan: I at least get a shot in this chapter.

Anko: You do?

Konan: Yep. You and Kurenai got the last chapter and Haku got the first.

Kurenai: True…

GMG: WE MUST START NOW!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own it, I swear. PLEASE NO SUE ME!

Flashback…

Uchiha District

Naruto walked along the roads of the Uchiha District, his small feet pattering against the ground. The Uchiha Clan weren't cruel to him like the villagers, something he was happy for. He gazed at the ground, lost in thought about the villagers hate. His focus elsewhere, he bumped into someone. He looked up to see a boy around his age, in a blue shirt and white shorts. The boy had raven colored hair, and onyx eyes.

Naruto apologized. "I'm sorry for bumping into you, I was a bit unfocused." The other boy smiled and brushed it off. Holding out his hand, he introduced himself.

"Name's Sauke Uchiha, what's yours?"

Naruto smiled slightly, but replied. "Naruto Uzumaki." He shook the hand offered.

Sasuke nodded at his new friend and grinned. "Would you like to play ninja?"

"Yeah!"

The two boys ran off, playing together, a form in the shadows watching them with a smile. Itachi was happy his brother had helped the young vessel.

Flashback 2…

Amegakure No Sato (The Village Hidden in Rain)

Two figures stood watching as rain continued to pelt the village, as it always had. The first, a man with orange hair, looked at the sight impassively, but his thoughts were focused on a piece of recent information. The second, a woman with blue hair, waited for his reaction. She had asked that they call off their plans to extract the bijuu due to a piece of information concerning the kyuubi vessel.

The man broke the silence. "Are you sure about this Konan?"

The woman nodded. "Hai. We tested your blood, Nagato, and it says that you are of Uzumaki blood. If we extract the bijuu, we'd have to kill the only other Uzumaki we know of. If we stop, perhaps we can find a new way to bring peace."

Nagato sighed before smiling. "Yes, I have one last chance at family and I will not let it slip away as it has before." He glanced at Konan, but returned his focus to the village. "Konan, I need you to check on him and report back with his condition."

The blue haired woman bowed. "Right way Nagato." With that, she left.

A Few Weeks Later, Konohagakure No Sato (The Village Hidden In Leaves)

Konan glanced around at the village, watching as people walked along. She had managed to sneak in, now she just had to find young Naruto and report back to Nagato. She walked up to a small ramen stand and sat down, glancing at the menu. A young woman walked over and took her order. She gazed at the chef who had walked out soon after, a bowl in his hands.

He smiled at her. "Here you go. Welcome to Ichiraku's and enjoy." He turned to head back to the kitchen, but a voice stopped him.

"I am looking for a Naruto Uzumaki. Would you perhaps be able to tell me where I can find him?"

Teuchi's eyes narrowed. "Why are you looking for him?"

She looked at him impassively. "I was ordered to check up on him. I have no further interest beyond that. Now I ask again, do you know where I can find him?"

Sighing, he replied. "Yes, but if you hurt him, ninja or not I will find you." She nodded. "He is most likely at the top of the Hokage Monument."

Finishing her bowl, she paid him and left. Glancing at the faces on the mountain, she walked towards them.

A few moments later…

Konan walked across the top of the monument, but stopped upon seeing a figure sitting on the edge. Silently, she made her way over to where they sat, only to hear crying. The figure was a small blonde crying his eyes out. Konan's heart wrenched at the sight and she approached him. Sitting beside the boy, she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him into a hug. The blonde stiffened at the contact, but soon melted into the embrace, crying in her arms as she comforted him. Once he had calmed down, she spoke.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

His blue eyes stared up at her, still red from crying. "The villagers are always so mean. They call me demon and kick me out of their shops. I don't even know why they do. I never hurt them."

Konan patted his head and gave him a sad smile. "Yes, people do hate without reason at times. You just have to learn to deal with it. I have to leave soon, but we'll meet again. My name is Konan. What's yours?"

The blonde smiled slightly. "Naruto Uzumaki, future Hokage."

She kissed his forehead, but let him go and stood up. She bid him farewell and left.

"Until we meet again, Naruto-kun."

Later in Ame…

"WHAT?! I'll kill those villagers for harming family!"

Konan panicked, trying to calm Nagato down. "Stop Nagato, even though they hate him, there are those he holds precious to him. There are those who care for him!"

Nagato calmed down and sighed. "Fine. We'll help him when the time comes. Let's go Konan."

With that, he walked back into the tower.

Chapter End.

That's all. I would appreciate a BetaReader if at all possible. GMG, Signing Off!
