It's good to know I'm not the only one who likes disgaea.

Now, I thank you all who still love this story, so I'm gonna cut to the chase.

I don't own Naruto, nor will I ever. That's just the way of life.

Naruto kept a steady gaze against the two Suna nin in front of him. You might be wondering how he knew they were from Suna. Well, if you were there and still didn't know it, you might need glasses to see the headbands with the mark on them. Before they could say anything, Naruto said, "I know you're there, come down from the tree."

There was a rustle before Sasuke Uchiha came off of the branch he was sitting on. "How did you know it was me, dobe?"

"No not you Uchiha. Go back up the tree or something." Naruto waved his hand and mumbled, enraging the Uchiha. "I meant the tanuki. Come on out... Ichibi." Temari and Kankuro's eyes widened as right beside Naruto appeared a red-haired girl via sand shunshin. She had blue eyes with no pupil, black lines around the eyes, and the kanji for 'Love' on the left side of her forehead. She wore black shorts that reached mid-thigh, a black shirt with mesh underneath, and had a white cloth around her waist while a brown sash kept a gourd on her back. Her hair reached her mid-back and she had two bangs on either side of her head.

"Kankuro. You are disgrace to Suna for your actions. You will stop right now, especially if you want to live." said the girl, her voice low and strange. It was like she was in pain.

"B-but Gaia..."

"No buts." She turned her attention to Naruto, who returned his sword to his back. "Forgive my siblings. We are here for the chunin exams held here. I am Sabaku no Gaia. These are Temari and Kankuro."

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki. The kids behind me are the Konohamaru corps, and the girl is Sakura Haruno. The guy with the duck-ass on his head is Sasuke. Nice to meet you."

"You called me Ichibi. Who are you?" Naruto simply brought both hands up and stuck out nine of his fingers. Gaia's eyes widened a bit, but she nodded and murmured, "I see. It was nice meeting you, Uzumaki-san. I shall see you soon. Kankuro, Temari. We're leaving."

With that, the sand trio left, but not before Naruto mumbled, "See ya soon... Gaia." Naruto turned to the kids and Sakura, who were slowly coming out of their shock. "Well... Are we gonna continue the game or not?"

As soon as he said that, the three kids started running with grins on their faces. Sakura looked at the direction the Suna nin before another smile graced her lips and she went after the kids alongside Naruto. Sasuke just glared at Naruto's retreating form before stomping his way to his house. None of them noticed Akyo stay behind and begin to sniff the air. "That better not be the place I think it is." she said worriedly as she began running towards a certain place in Konoha.

As she was half-way there, three nin dogs suddenly appeared and ran alongside her. "Ah, Akyo-san. How is alpha doing?" one of them asked. They noticed that she seemed larger, and stronger.

Akyo smirked, something that confused the three dogs. "Embermaru, Ashamaru, Cindermaru. (Not sure if that's their names, but it's from 'NILF', by EroSlackerMicha. Perverted stuff.) I have good news for all of you. Naruto-kun no longer needs his status as alpha unknown, you can talk your hearts out about the new Uzumaki Naruto! He became much stronger, so he can take on the competition now."she said, sounding very proud.

"Are you sure? I thought you said Naruto-san wasn't ready." one of them said. Naruto was strong, but how strong could someone become with just one mission?

"Yup! He can take on even my own brother in a close draw, which is an accomplishment in itself. We shadow fox aren't made for fighting, so we use our powers for distractions. Shishi is the only one to be an expert in battle rather than only using deception in the history of shadow-fox." she explained.

Finally, she reached where she was heading to find a store and kids going to buy candy. Across the street was none other than Shishi, his eyes shining a dull yellow and his teeth shown with his smirk. He looked like a little kid about to steal something. And knowing Shishi, that's exactly what he was gonna do. Before the demon could take a step forward, he heard a familiar bark say, "RESTRAIN HIM!" and he was hit by three furry figures. It was a good thing he was in an alley, or the other villagers would've wondered what the three nin-dogs were doing tackling a blond teen.

He looked down to see three dogs, two restraining his arms while the other his legs, and Akyo sitting on his chest. "Uh, hi nee-chan! Sooo... nice day right?" he asked, trying to sound professional. Or at the very least, a bit innocent.

"Save the crap, Shishi. I know you wanted that stuff, and there's no way I'm letting you get any." said the fox on top of his chest. He just laughed nervously before melting into a bool of darkness.

"You'll never take me alive!" they heard his voice. He sounded like he was in a cave because of the echo. Akyo just sighed and thanked the three nin-dogs before repeating the same action of her brother. The three dogs simply shrugged and began spreading the news to every dog on the street. The true alpha was taking his rightful title.

Naruto chuckled as he heard two of the Inuzuka dogs speaking. "Did you hear? Naruto-sama is taking the alpha title! Awesome!"

"Yeah. the kid was strong enough to begin with, but now he's almost three times stronger. I wonder if any of the Inuzuka ladies will want to be part of his pack."

Having heard enough, Naruto disappeared via shunshin and appeared in front of his family compound. (I'm a bit lazy at describing it, so think of it as being pretty kick ass with two hot springs, large rooms, a dojo, and it has a very homey feeling and lots of red flames on the white walls.) Naruto slumped on the bed of the master bedroom. The covers were red with multiple orange swirls adorning it. He smiled and closed his eyes, feeling happier than ever. He took out a scroll from his pocket and looked at it, before sitting up and opening it to release its contents.

He first took the scroll that had a yellow lightning-bolt on it, and he knew immediately it was from his father. He always had a hunch that he was his father, but being told that his suspicions were true was still a surprise. He tried opening it, but found that it wouldn't. He turned it over and found a blood-seal on it keeping it closed. He slapped his forehead, calling himself an idiot. Of course his father would've placed a blood-seal, he was a seal-master. He bit his thumb and ran the blood across the seal. It sucked in the blood before the scroll loosened, making the scroll open before his very eyes. He read it and found it was a letter addressed to him.

Dear Naruto,

My boy, my son. I'm so sorry I have to do this, but as I write this letter the Kyuubi is rampaging towards Konoha. I'm so sorry, but I have no choice but to seal the demon inside of you.

I understand if you hate me forever, but hopefully the village will see you as the hero you truly are.

And not only that, but I will place a seal on your back that will absorb the Kyuubi's chakra until you are around thirteen. This seal was to be given to you either way, so here's the good thing.

I am giving you the Hiraishin (Sp?). However, you wont need a seal for this one, though it helps if your enemy isn't in sight. Send chakra to the small of your back and will your body foreword. That'll teleport you to the location you wish. This is the first and last gift I will be able to give, and for that I am sorry.

If you're anything like me and your mother, I hope you become one of the greatest shinobi of all time. My only regret is that I can never see you grow up to see the most awesome man on earth.

Love you, Minato Namikaze, Konoha's Yellow Flash, and your father.

Naruto smiled at the letter, his eyes watering. 'I'll never hate you dad. You gave me someone who loves me. And I love her back.' He was slightly glad that Kyuubi's light breathing was heard, meaning she was asleep. He sighed and opened the other scroll that had a red swirl on it. He opened it and read it.

Dear Naruto-kun,

How are you my little baby? I hope you're alright. Minato-kun said you look alot like him. I can already feel my strength leaving me. It sure was one heck of a struggle getting you out.

Doctors say that I wont live through the night because of the blood-loss and fatigue. Even now I'm trying to stay awake.

I'm so sorry I wont be there for you. Your father and I have been looking foreword to raising you and training you.

Minato-kun took you and told me everything would be alright, but I saw the sadness in his eyes. I know I wont make it. Please make us proud, and know that we will always love you. We loved you before you were even born.

In the seal below I'm giving you the one thing that always helped me, not only in battles but also with your father. Use it wisely, and take care my baby.

Yours truly, Kushina Uzumaki-Namikaze, Red Reaper, and your mommy.

Naruto looked at the bottom of the note and saw that there was a blood-seal, as well as small smudges indicating his mother was crying when she wrote this. His own tears streaked down his cheeks as he reread both notes, memorizing them to heart. He bit his thumb and placed it on the seal, making it glow a slight red. In a puff of smoke, something appeared on Naruto's hand. He looked up and his eyes widened.

In his hand was a large sword of about five feet with a red side, silver designs on the red, and a handle that seemed to belong to a bicycle of some sorts (It's Red Queen!). He revved it up a bit, impressed by the power he felt. He smirked as he placed it over his left shoulder and walked out, intending on getting some training done. That is, until Shishi in his human form came busting into the door and seemed to be quite content on whatever he did.

Not long after, a panting Akyo, also in her human form, stumbled inside and glared at her brother. "No way... am I gonna... let you... get any... of that... crap." she said between gasps.

"What was he trying to get?" asked Naruto. Akyo whispered into Naruto's ear and his eyes widened. "Woah. That does sound dangerous."

Akyo simply nodded and looked at the bed to see that Shishi had turned himself into a five-year-old and was sleeping, also sucking his thumb. "It's strange how he's disgusting one minute, then cute the next." Naruto simply nodded and walked out, leaving Akyo to wait with her brother.

(Some Hotel)

Sitting on a chair next to the window, Gaia stared out to the village, her thoughts on someone. She always wanted blood, nothing more. Yet here she was, thinking about this one blond boy and... not wanting to kill him. It confused her.

She never was interested in boys. In fact, she was never interested in anybody. So why couldn't she stop thinking about him? Was it because he contained the Kyuubi? Did she fear him? She sat on a chair, her gourd leaning against her leg. 'Mother' was still craving for Naruto's blood, but seemed to be slightly quieter. Temari came into the room and noticed how Gaia seemed distracted. She probably would've asked what was wrong, but years of living with Gaia told her to not ask unless she wants you to know.

"Temari." came the red-head's voice. Temari was slightly surprised she even wanted to talk. "What does it mean... when you think of someone, yet you don't wish to kill him?"

Oh boy. I see some nice crap goin' on!

Review please! Reviews make me happy. When I'm happy, I write more. When I write more, I update sooner. When I update sooner, you guys read more. It's a nice cycle where everyone's happy!

And I changed Gaara's name so I don't confuse myself.
