I don't own jack shit for Naruto. This chapter, I'm gonna piss someone off here in a moment with this, but I'm gonna bring Guren and Mei(before being Mizukage) into Konoha. Guren, because in the fight she said Naruto wouldn't understand about the shit going down, that rubbed my fur the wrong way. Mei, because i want to mess with 'er, she's a bit of a lovable bitch. With that in mind, Mei's gonna interact with Naruto along with Guren.

Incoming headache that's my writin'.

"Sup" speech of demon

Naruto had gotten back to his den with minimal trouble from the 'authorities'. He felt strange though, like he was being watched by someone else than the forest-folk as he called them. He was almost there when a crystal burst out of the ground and he released the henge with a growl as he went into his initial jinchuuriki form. "Alright, you've found me! Now, come out here so I can kick your ass! I already told you, I ain't going back to Konoha! They hate me for being alive and for my tenant! Leave me be!"

Out of the woods came a chuckling woman with fair skin, red lipstick, dark eyes, and light blue hair that was in a pony tail resembling, in Naruto's personal opinion, a palm tree. She wore a kimono missing the right sleeve that had a fluffy collar, a red turtle neck and she wore brown gloves. She looked at Naruto with interest before lunging at him just to be held against a tree by the throat.

The moment she saw his eyes she froze, 'Those eyes...What on Earth is he? I've never seen so much pain before, and especially in one so young...What did he mean tenant?Is he the...' As these thoughts pass through her mind, Naruto was deciding whether or not to kill the woman who desecrated his sanctuary. The woman was broken from her musings by a rough, yet still his, voice, "Why do you people...Take pleasure in the lives and suffering of my kind? We've done nothing to you unless provoked, and yet you people never leave us any peace!"

He began to tear up and the woman had a look of shock as he let her go and began to cry into her shoulder. "I don't even know you, and yet I'm so open to a complete stranger, a stranger that has desecrated my safe haven from people and their stupid, arrogant, and pointless blame-games." She looked to him in fear of what she'd done, she'd brought forth a boy who'd suffered more than her. For reason's she didn't even know, she left him where he was.

His voice returned to normal, but he didn't lose the tone of hate in it as he spoke, "Who the hell are you and what are you doing in my forest?!" He looked into her eyes with a fire burning that scared her to places she never knew existed. "I said, 'who the hell are you and what are you doing in my forest?'!"

She spoke, shakily but still spoke, "I'm G-Guren, I-I hadn't heard that t-this was your hom-me? Why are you here kid? Don't you have parents looking for you?" His body tensed up considerably and that made her intern tense, in case he lashed out at her. "I've never had the blessing that was family, I've been on my own for my whole life. Even at that damnable orphanage, I was an outcast, I never knew why until a week or two ago. Now, why are you, Guren-san," She winced at his aggressive and sarcastic tone in the -san, "out here in the forest in which I reside?"

"I-I was looking around for a jinchuuriki, I was told that I could find it here? Do you happen to know anything about it?" By now Naruto had stepped away from her and glared at her with suspicion and his hard glare started to make her uncomfortable until he spoke again with a calmed tone, but not a dropped guard, "Why do you need the Kyuubi jinchuuriki? He's not someone you know, I've known him my entire life. Now, why are you looking for me?!" At that, Guren looked stunned. Had she heard right? This kid, this violent brat, was the Kyuubi jinchuuriki?

Breaking herself out of her stupor, she began to try and reason with him, "I was assigned a mission to find and to capture or detain the Kyuubi jinchuuriki until my superiors got here. But it looks like, you found me...What's your name kid? I didn't catch it?" She put on a smile that looked real to anyone who saw it, except Naruto. He'd seen plenty of fake smiles to know what they looked like.

"You're being honest, but I don't trust you. How do I know you aren't just trying to lure me back to Konoha and the people who forced me into this place?" He held a glare at her, he was trying to stall her until his friends came and could vouch for her not being a Konoha shinobi. Until then, he would keep her talking and in the woods, so to speak.

Guren on the other hand was uneasy, she hadn't been told that he was so young or that he was so suspicious of strangers and untrusting of people in general. "I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt, that I'm not aligned with Konoha. I'm-" "That means you're either a nukenin, which you clearly aren't considering you wear no hitae-ate, or a mercenary shinobi." Guren was taken aback at his observation of her. He looked no older than ten or twelve years-old and he didn't look that intelligent. He wasn't too bright, that was clear, but he wasn't a complete dunce either.

"You're right, I'm not a legitimate shinobi, but I don't need to be. I am at least jonin level, and I've a kekkai genkai. I am a ninja of Otogakure, the Village Hidden in the Sound. The Otokage, requested that a jinchuuriki be brought to him, by any means necessary. Now, will you come quietly, or will I have to take you by force?" She found herself unconfident on her likelihood of completing her mission. This kid, had caught her and put her against a tree, knocking the wind out of her in one move.

"First off, who's the Otokage? And second off, what makes you think I'm going to go with you at all?" His determined face put her off and made her unsure of her abilities to survive even more. "The first question I can't answer, it's disclosed information of my shinobi village, you understand I hope?" She was rewarded with an affirmative nod and continued, "The second question, i can take you down easy kid." She was given a look that didn't believe her, and honestly she didn't blame the boy. Her voice was shaking slightly, along with that she was sweating profusely.

'What does she have to gain? And who has the gall to ask for a jinchuuriki?' He glared and bared his teeth then snarled at Guren. She took a tentative step back, causing Naruto to smirk as he got down on all fours. He gave her a mischievous and, in her case, dangerous grin before he started gathering chakra into his upcoming attack. "I'm gonna warn you lady...I haven't perfected this technique and also another thing to know, you don't mess with jinchuuriki, it'll come right back to BITE YOU IN THE ASS! TSURGA!" And with that, Naruto started to make a drilling motion that went flying at Guren. When she saw this, she got a look of horror at what she had unleashed on herself, to combat the half-assed Tsuga technique she created a small but sturdy wall of crystal.

"Ha, phew, that technique and you had me worried kid. But, nothing breaks my crystal-" Suddenly, she heard a glass-like surface cracking, when she looked she saw that his Tsuga replica had started to break her crystal wall. A look of terror appeared on her once calm and collected face, 'How can he do this? He's not even using his Bijuu's chakra, what the hell is he? He isn't normal, he's got something powering his already strong chakra. What is it?!' Guren was confused, scared, and most of all, angry, as she thought these things.

'Well, I can officially say that this technique, although still in the experimental stages is powerful. When I get stronger, this technique may be strong enough to damage adamantine...Maybe, but, now's not the time to speculate. Now's the time to kick this lady's ass!' Naruto's thoughts were very...Comical, had the situation been less serious, they could've been a barrel of laughs. But the situation was too serious for comedic banter and taunts.

Unbeknownst to the two combatants, they had an audience. This audience, comprised of Kiba, Akamaru, Choji, Shikamaru, and two stowaways named Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino. The group was stunned at what they were watching, there before them was their friend, the dead last, the class clown, was kicking the living shit out of a woman who'd said that she was at the least a jonin in power. This really put what they knew about him into perspective, Kiba and Akamaru weren't even angry that Naruto made his own version of Tsuga that instead of using just hand to hand qualities, used any weapons or objects available on the person to inflict damage. The stowaways were starting to rethink their choice of crush and were also kind of scared of Naruto now.

As the battle continued, Naruto began to notice that; one, they had an audience and two, they were destroying the forest. With this in mind, he made a call that would change the views he was given, "STOP! Not here, we fight in Konoha, you'll have an advantage and we won't hurt any true innocents...The forest-folk will be unharmed and we will have an actual shinobi battle." When he said this, the onlookers were shocked until it hit Shikamaru, "Ah, shit! He noticed us and now thinks we turned our backs on him by telling that woman where he was. I don't blame him for being suspicious, but damn! We now have someone who thinks we're no different than the villagers!"

This proclamation brought the two star struck girls out of whatever...'Trip' they were on, "What do you mean Shikamaru? He's had a great life, he was always smil-" At this point, Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba, and Akamaru all glared daggers from hell at Sakura for assuming things and being so biased about it, after the initial shock that the two girls were there passed. "And what would you know about that?! Huh, Sakura?! You've been a part of his suffering, he was so kind to you, to all of us! And what did we do, what did we do?! We hurt him! He's been abused, ignored, called names, and much more pain than anyone our age should suffer from villagers and shinobi, ALIKE!" The boys had yelled this at Sakura at once and then realized that the two combatants got a good look at them and then left. Naruto cast one last look at the girls then glared at the boys for letting others know of his safe haven, his sanctuary.

"Oh no, we fucked up bad...We're screwed, aren't we?" The question was rhetorical, but Choji was given an answer in the form of a question, "What do you mean, Choji? I get he's strong and all, but he can't be that strong...right?" She was given looks of solemnity and secrets that not even then would be given freely.

"You clearly weren't *growl* here for *whine* that part Ino-san, because you didn't *whining* hear that Guren woman say what he was...It's better that *sad growl* way anyways..." Akamaru had spoken and it was the first time for Ino or Sakura to hear him do such, under different circumstances they would have gone into a 'kawai coma' from it, but given the circumstances...They looked very confused. Before anymore questions could be asked Kiba spoke his peace and turn, "Let's face it, we're not gonna be able to live this down...We fucked up too badly, he'll probably never let us forget, never let it go, or both...We're horrible, he thinks we showed that Guren woman where he resided and given how he saw us and how it all added up with not just now, but his history, he feels betrayed. I don't blame him either, in a way, we are to blame for letting ourselves get followed!" He added extra venom to the word followed and gave the girls looks that would've killed them had looks the ability to kill.

"we now...can't do anything, but wait for this battle... to pass over and wait for an opening... to apologize to him for screwing him over...intentional or not..." The boys were finishing the others' sentences for each other. This got the girls to look over their lives and how they help Naruto suffer. The kids went to try and stop any collateral damage or crossfire casualties to happen.

Konoha was calm until the poor district erupted in screams and crystals. The shinobi went to find out what was going on, only to be blocked by the kids that had been in the clearing not ten minutes earlier. When questioned, the boys all gave looks that were tear-filled, with hurt and shame evident in their eyes that shut them up.

Inside the district the screams were loudest and they didn't end, they kept growing in intensity. The screams were only of those who had hurt Naruto, never were they animals or people who hadn't done anything wrong in action or inaction, Naruto made sure of it. As the battle comensed and continued, Naruto started to say the lyrics to one of his favorite songs, Not Gonna Die by Skillet. "Death surrounds, my heart beat's slowing down, i won't take this world's abuse! I won't give up, I refuse!" He was pushing himself with that song and the will and wish to protect the innocent of Konoha with his very existence. Guren saw the look in his eyes, the look where he won't lose, one way or another.

This boy, no, this young man, scared her. He actually scared her, she wasn't easy to shake or frighten, but this young man scared her out of her wits. She found it miraculous that she could fight or even think properly against him. He threw himself into her and began to use Tsurga again, and damn, did it hurt!

"OOWW! What the hell?! You can't seriously want to protect this village?! They abused you, you're fighting me within the village! Why do you look like you want to protect them?!" His behavior was baffling to say the least, he was fighting for them, but he was killing them in the process. It made no sense to her, until it her, he wasn't going for all of the civilians or shinobi nearby. He was protecting the ones he saw as truly innocent along with protecting the animals from her attacks, so, she avoided any animals as much as possible. She didn't want to kill him when he decided to get in the way of the attack and she didn't want to get herself killed for hurting any of them causing him to loose any restraint. He was needed alive for the otokage and she wanted to stay alive, so she avoided the animals at all costs if there were any.

And she then found herself at the end of a clawed hand with one of her crystals in the other as a make-shift kunai. She conceded, realizing she was beat and left the village. Screw what the Otokage did to her for her failure, she would rather go through any of his experiments than face the Kyuubi jinchuuriki's wrath...
