Naruto woke up late that day. Very late. He had an odd dream last night. Was it a dream? It seemed so real. Danzo was there and Naruto was angry. Why would Danzo be there? It must have been a dream, Naruto concluded.

When Naruto sat up in bed he noticed he was one of seven other people that were still there. He began to panic. Why did he wake up so late? Why didn't anyone wake him up? Seeing as there was only guys left in the tent, he hurriedly changed there and ran out as fast as he could to his work sight.

In Naruto's hurry to get to where he needed to go, it didn't strike him odd when he saw Danzo staring at him as he ran by. Their eyes locked for a brief moment only to be ripped away as Naruto continued to run.

"What took so long? You should have been here hours ago." Ten Ten commented irritably when Naruto showed up.

"Sorry." Naruto said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. "I overslept. I promise it won't happen again."

"Likely story." Neji muttered under his breath as he sat a beam upright to be hammered into the ground. Naruto shot him a look but grabbed a hammer to start helping. The day before, they had finished cutting all the wood they needed so now they were starting on the first house.


A couple hours had passed, no more than two, when it was time for lunch. The group walked away but Naruto had stayed behind. "Aren't you coming?" Choji asked.

Naruto shrugged. "I'll stay here and work since I was late. I'm not that hungry anyway."

"Suit yourself." Shikamaru said. The group turned and proceeded to the dining hall once more.

Naruto returned to working on the house. He was, actually, really late and he wanted to get a good amount of work done since he felt a bit guilty that they had to pull extra weight since he wasn't there.

As Naruto worked, his thoughts drifted to the odd dream he had last night. He couldn't for the life of him remember more than Danzo's face and an unyielding anger. He wondered what Danzo had done in his dream, not that he wasn't a prick in real life, which made him so angry. Naruto let those thoughts occupy his mind as he worked.

"Naruto!" He heard a newly familiar voice call. Naruto looked up and saw his parents walking toward him, his mother had a plate of food in her hand. "We had a feeling you were just guilty for showing up late. Take a break and eat something." His father said, sitting to the right of him while his mother, the left. Naruto sat down with them.

"We've been worried about you. You've been acting odd, ya k-" It happened in a flash. A shinobi in a mask snuck up behind them and stabbed Minato and Kushina in the back, disappearing before you could even count how many stripes were on said mask. Naruto's parents fell forward and onto the ground.

"NO!" Naruto yelled standing abruptly, food falling from his lap. He was stuck in place as his mind contemplated going after the bad guy or running to the aid of his parents. The bad guy disappearing was what made up Naruto's mind and he knelt down beside his parents. "Don't be dead. I just met you guys, there's still so much to talk about. Dad, we were supposed to battle, remember? Mom, I wanted to ask how you and Dad fell in love. Please don't be dead. PLEASE DON'T BE DEAD!" Red chakra started to leak from Naruto, taking the form of the kyuubi. "I'll kill whoever did this. I'LL KILL THEM!" Two tails, three, four. It happened so fast that it could've beaten any record of times before.

Naruto was on all fours with a snarl as his skin started to peel to show the red underneath and when his appearance changed to that of the day he had accidently hurt Sakura, he let out a blood curdling roar.


"I wonder if Naruto is going to show up to eat." Ino asked offhandedly.

"I don't know, he seemed pretty adamant about-" Shikamaru didn't finish his sentence. Anyone who was in the dining hall didn't finish their sentence. All was silenced by that blood curdling roar. That so dreadfully familiar roar.

Kushina, Kakashi and Minato were the first ones up and out of the tent. Many soon followed suit. It was a horror show when they arrived. The house that had just started being built was destroyed, along with some nearby tents and trees. Naruto was on a rampage. Kakashi thought quickly. "Kushina, you bind him and I'll suppress it with this," He held up the slip of paper that said, "Suppress" on it that Jiraiya had given him. "Sakura, be on standby when it's over. He's going to be severely wounded and in need of immediate medical attention. Now!"

Kushina, Kakashi and Sakura sprang into action as the villagers who were brave enough to come, watched on in fear. "Naruto!" Kushina called to her rampaging son. Naruto looked over at her and immediately began to charge at her. Though he was fast, she was faster. The chains erupted from her body and wrapped around Naruto who fell to the ground, struggling to break free. Kakashi jumped from where he waiting, to in front of Naruto and stuck the seal onto his head. The kyuubi's power began to suppress immediately. Naruto yelled in pain as the cloak began to dissipate. The ears and the tail slowly disappeared, leaving behind a Naruto with red skin and white eyes. Sakura waited at his side until it was done.

Kushina let the chains disappear and she, along with her husband who was waiting for it to be over, ran to their son. Sakura had started to heal him instantly, and slowly but surely, it was disappearing but Sakura was still worried. "There's something wrong." She said.

"What is it?" Kakashi asked.

Sakura stared at Naruto's discontent face for a few seconds longer then stopped healing him. She placed two fingers on his forehead and said, "Release." Naruto's face relaxed and Sakura went back to healing him.

"He was under genjustu? But who would do that?" Kushina asked.

"I might know who did this but we can't talk about it here." Minato said. Once there were only small patches of red left on Naruto's skin, he was put on a stretcher and taken to the infirmary tent.

"There's nothing more to see!" Sakura snapped to the villagers, all of whom were still there, still staring.
