Chapter 2 has been fixed, thanks to those who let me know that I mistaken ch 1 and 2 were the same

Last time, Naruto was taken to Kumo, were he recovered from his fall. After which, he was told by both Darui and C that he would be seeing the Raikage once he's gotten a little more stronger.

Next day

It's been a whole day since Naruto had talked to Darui and C. During that time, Naruto was thinking about what was going to happen to him. He also thought about how worried the 3rd is, as well as Ayame and Teuchi.

Also at that time, he saw a couple of other nurses checking up on him, making sure that he was alright. Naruto had to be honest with himself, thinking on how nice these people are since he didn't see or wasn't given any hostility towards him.

Not only were the nurses nice to him, he also got a nice couple of meals, which he couldn't be happier. For lunch, he had fruit (apple and orange slices), peanut butter sandwich, and millk. For dinner, he gotten rice and curry with water. All in all, Naruto was able to have a stuff stomach, which for the 1st time ever, he had actually gotten to eat so much in one day.

After he gotten the meals and rest some more, he felt like a new person. The next morning, Darui and C came back and told him that he was going to see the Raikage later today. Naruto was kinda scared since he doesn't know what kind of person the Raikage is. As he thought about it, he couldn't help but wish that the 3rd hokage was with him for support. Soon after, Darui and C left to give Naruto some more privacy since he was given some new clothes to wear.

Once Naruto had changed his hospital gown to his new clothing (shirt, shorts, and shinobi sandals), he walked outside his hospital room to see Darui and C waiting for him. Both of them told Naruto to follow them since they didn't want him to get lost.

Outside, Naruto got to see where and what kind of village he was in, he was surprise to see this. All around him, Naruto saw nothing but mountain ranges which he saw housing and other building-like structures built into them. Naruto continue to follow Darui and C (which Darui walked in front, while C walked behind them), he saw all the people walking around, which he noted that their skin was darker than what he normally saw people. He also noted that there wasn't many tree around the village.

For a couple of minutes, the 3 finally made it to Raikage tower, which Naruto saw that it was built inside the tallest mountain. Once they went inside, Naruto was amazed on how it was built. He saw many shinobi and other personal walking around the building, actively busy. Darui led Naruto to the stares where all 3 walked up to the top floor where the Raikage's office was located.

Outside the office, the Raikage's personal secretary was filing some documents when she saw Darui and C coming up the stairs with a young boy with whisker marks on both his cheeks. She realized that it was Naruto, the jinchuriki of Kyuubi no Yoko.

Darui told Mabui that they were here to see the Raikage, which she went to announce their arrival to him. Naruto was now looking nervous since he was wondering on what the Raikage would be like. He had many thoughts running through his mind, but hope that the Raikage was like the 3rd Hokage.

Naruto's thought stopped when Mabui said that they were allowed to enter, which they all went in. Naruto tried not to look nervous, but he couldn't help but be a little intimated by this moment.

Once inside, Naruto looked around to see that the office was circular and had opened windows that could see around the village behind it. His attention was quickly focus as he saw what probably the biggest, muscular person he has ever seen.

In front of him, was a tall, from what he can tell as the Raikage was sitting down, dark skin man with a large muscular body. He had blond hair that was combed back and a small moustache and beard. His face was distinguished with pronounced cheekbones and tear troughs under his eye and a prominent crease across his forehead. He wore the traditional robes and hat of a kage, but with no shirt on, to display his hulky body. He had gold bangle bracelets on each wrist and wore a gold belt around his waist with a boar's face engraved in the center.

As Naruto was taking it all in, the Raikage was also looking at Naruto too. Even though Naruto was young, the Raikage saw the similarities to Konoha no Kiirio Senko (Konoha's Yellow Flash), the Yondaime Hokage, mostly of the blond spiky hair, blue eyes and skin color. But of course, he also saw the similarities of his mother, the former jinchuriki of Kyuubi, Kushina Uzumaki. When A heard that the boy's name was Naruto Uzumaki, he was able to figure out that he was Kushina's son, but now seeing him in front of him, he knew that the Minato and Kushina had gotten married.

Once they met, the Raikage decided to break the ice and play by ear since he doesn't know how much Naruto knows of his past.

"Hello young one." A said politely

Naruto also greeted the Raikage with respect since he knew that unlike the old man, the way the Raikage hold himself, he knew that he needs to be at his best behavior here. Once they greeted each other, A continues to speak.

"You gave my men quite the scare, especially in the condition that they found you. I hope you thanked them for saving your life." Said A

Naruto nodded in agreement saying that he did thank both Darui and C. It was then that the Raikage decided to ask Naruto a question.

"Even though I know that they saved you from death… I can't help but wonder something…" which got Naruto attention, "… why were you inside a raging river in the 1st place?" asked A

Naruto, of course, knew why he was in the river, but he just doesn't know why the villagers hated him so much and give him beatings. The Raikage asked Naruto on why he was in it, which he told him since it would be bad if he lied to the Raikage. After Naruto finished explaining, the Raikage only had a serious look, while Darui and C had a painful look on their face on what Naruto's been through.

The Raikgae waited for a bit for the tension that Naruto was going through as he could see in Naruto's face the look of fear and loneliness. It was then that the Raikage broke the silence.

"Do you want to know why the people in your village despise you?"

Naruto eyes widen when he heard that the Raikge knows on why the villagers hate him so much.

"I'm pretty sure that the old monkey, the 3rd hokage, has told you about the Kyuubi attacking Konoha."

Naruto nodded as he remembered on what the old man told him before. He remembered that 5 years ago, that the Kyuubi came to Konoha and started to destroy everything in its path. Many shinobi and civilians were killed in the process, but it wasn't until the legendary Yondaime Hokage had killed the fox, but it cost him his life in the process.

It was then that the Raikage began to fill Naruto with some facts.

"Now look here kid. The kyuubi can't not be killed, in fact none of the bijus can't be killed…" stated the Raikage, which Naruto was beginning to wonder on what is a biju, but stopped as the Raikage continued, "… instead of killing it, the 4th could only seal it away so it couldn't destroy all of Konoha. He sealed it inside a little baby."

Naruto never heard of this, but he wondered if it was true, then why he doesn't know about it, plus what does this story had to do with him. It was then that Naruto heard the Raikage give him some other facts.

"Listen Naruto… when did the Kyuubi attack?" question Raikage

"October 10" answered Naruto

"What day were you born?" The Raikage asked again

"October 10" answered Naruto

"Do you see where I'm going… if the Kyuubi attack on the same day your born, and the 4th could only seal away into a young baby… what do you think happened?" question Raikage

It was then that Naruto began to see the gaps of what he was being told. He can start seeing things more thoroughly, all the beatings, especially the harsh treatment on his birthday, on why everyone calls him "Demon". Just before he can say it, he heard the Raikage speak up.

"That's right… the 4th sealed the Kyuubi into you. You are the Jinchuriki of Kyuubi no Yoko" stated the Raikage

Naruto just had a look of shock and fear since he doesn't know on what to think. Instinct quickly took over, which he 1st just slowly back away, then just started to run away, like he needed to get away from everyone.

Darui, C, and Mabui were about to stop him, but A told them stop. A carefully looked at Naruto expressions before he ran away. Once Naruto ran away, Darui, C, and Mabui looked at the Raikage on why he let Naruto go.

"Let the boy go for now… he has just been told something that opened his eyes and realized on what he has been lied to, especially one that was never explained to. Let him be alone for now. I already have our anbu watching the boy so he doesn't go anywhere we don't want him to go or get in trouble." A explained.

The others could understand, since for a small child, news this big and heavy must be hard to endure, especially when everyone else knew and you didn't.

With Naruto

Naruto ran outside the Raikage Mountain, trying to go anywhere to be alone. He ran for about half an hour until he made it to a secluded spot. In that half hour, Naruto he ran towards the other half of the village in Kumo, not even noticing it himself.

The anbu that were keeping an eye on him, were amazed on how an ordinary child was able to run so far, in such a short of time. But to their surprise, Naruto ran towards an area where Killer Bee sometimes hangs around.

Naruto ran towards an open lake that had a lot of grass terrain, with a few bushes and trees around the area. Naruto just stopped at the edge of the lake, which he then fell on his knees from exhaustion.

As he rested and got his breath to catch up to him, he looked at the lake, where the water's reflections showed his face. He looked at the water, which then remembered all what all the people of konoha said about it.

"Get away you demon…!" said one person, "Don't go near him, it's the demon." Whispered another, "Hey it's the freak!" Another yelled out

Naruto looked at the reflection to see himself, but then from all the comments that Konoha said, he then saw the reflection of Kyuubi as himself. He thought with tears coming out of his eyes, "Is this why everyone in Konoha hate me? Is this why they always beat me? Am… Am I really the Ky-…"

Naruto thoughts were interrupted when he heard someone say, "Hey squirt… whats with all the huffing and trembling."

Naruto looked behind him, away from the water's reflection while also rubbing the tears of his face, to see a huge person behind him. It was a dark skin man with a muscular body, similar to the Raikage. He had a white beard and hair. He had a tattoo on his right shoulder that says, "iron" and on his left cheek, had a tattoo of a bull's horn. He wore a oval-shaped sunglasses and a white colored forehead protector. He also wore a white colored one-strap-over-one shoulder flak jacket of a jonin with a red rope tied around his waist, white hand bands, and a white scarf around his neck and carried seven swords on his back.

Before Naruto could say anything, the older man looked at him for a moment before saying, "Oh… so you're the kid who has the nine-o."

"huh…" Naruto said in confusion

"I said you have nine-o… the Kyuubi no yoko." Stated the older man

"H-how do you know!" surprised Naruto, since he didn't know if everyone in Kumo knows this or not that he is the Kyuubi.

"Cause like you, I have one as well." Said the older man

"You have one as well." Surprised Naruto

"Let me introduce me self… I float like a butterfly… and sting like a bee… I Killer Bee, the Eight-tail beast… word!" rapped Killer Bee

Killer Bee was actually surprised when he saw Naruto, since the Hachibi told him when he saw him that he is the jinchuriki of Kyuubi. In honesty, Killer Bee didn't want to see Naruto yet, since he figured he be put as a babysitter, and decided to leave that task to Yugito, since she was also the jinchuriki of Nibi.

"Your what?" asked Naruto

"I'm Killer Bee, and like you I hold one as well, old eight-o." said Killer Bee

"How do you know I have the Kyuubi?" asked Naruto

"Cause eight-o said you have nine-o." Answered Killer B

"Are you saying that you are the 8 tails, like I'm the 9." Said Naruto

Killer Bee then just scoffed when Naruto said that, which he replied, "No… I'm Killer Bee… eight-o is my partner… like you are you and nine-o is nine-o."

Naruto was confused since he didn't get what Killer Bee was saying since he educationally speaking, Naruto was barely taught any reading, writing and math skills, so he barely understands anything complex like what he was being told.

Killer Bee could see the confusion which he started to explained that he and Naruto were, in simple terms for Naruto to understand, just the jails that hold the jailers. It took Naruto a bit of time to understand that Kyuubi was Kyuubi and he was himself. Killer Bee can see that Naruto was now better, since he saw Naruto look at his reflection on the water, before splashing the image away to see the water calm down again to see his reflection again. Killer Bee guessed that Naruto 1st imagined himself before breaking the image to see his own reflection.

Naruto thanked Killer Bee on telling him this since he barely understand on what was going on with himself, after all Naruto is just 5 years old who was supposed to start learning how to read and write, not know complicated stuff like this.

After a while of looking over the lake, Naruto asked Killer Bee on some things, like how can he be so cheerful when he has a biju inside him? Or how can he be so strong knowing this?

Naturally, Killer Bee said it in a rap tone, but Naruto was able to understand some of it, which he found out that his brother, the Raikage, had faith in him along with some of his friends. Naruto was envies of him since Killer B has friends which he explained why. For Naruto, the only people that ever showed him kindness was the 3rd Hokage, Ayumi and Teuchi of the Ramen stand, while the 3rd was the only one to have faith in him. All the other children just stayed away from him because he heard their parents telling them to.

Killer B can understand that, since when he became a jinchuriki for the Hachibi, he had the same thing, except not as severe as Naruto, since he, even though he was left all alone some of the time, no one has ever given him a beating or the stuff that Naruto went through.

As they talked, Naruto actually felt better since he had someone who actually understands on what he went through. After a while, Killer Bee suggested that they go to his brother since he was pretty sure that he still wants to talk to Naruto, which he nodded.
