Naruto walks along a dirt path. It's been about a year since he left The Hidden Leaf Village. He did have people chase after him, but thanks to being little and use to sneaking around. They where not that hard to dodge. Narutos destination is Sungakure.
Naruto read about it in a scroll. Apparently it has another container for a Bijuu. "Why are we going to Sungakure. In the scroll it doesn't sound to great?" Naruto asked.
"There is a person like you there. He has a Bijju in him." The Kyuubi replied. Ok it was actually The Kyuubi who told Naruto about the other Bijju, but that arrealavent.
"Like me huh. Sounds like we could be friends then. If he's like me. Then he must be hated to. Right?" Naruto asked the demon inside him.
"Yes. People hate Jinchuuriki. They are all treated horribly." The Kyuubi replied.
"I guess that makes sense, but there must be one liked person out there that's a. Jinchuuriki?" Naruto basically asking if he said it right. He's intelligent for his age, but he's still 7.
"I guess. Somewhere out there." The Kyuubi replied.
-Thousands of meters away-
A man rapping to himself sneezes. "Hey squid bro. Someone must be talking to me yo." He rapped horribly.
"Bee." A sighed voice from in his head said.
-Back to Naruto-
Naruto travels through the sand pulling his heavy backpack behind him. "How much longer?" Naruto questioned.
"It's almost nightfall. You should rest. Even if you are a Uzamaki. You still tire easily due to your age." The Kyuubi. Naruto sighed in relief and quickly set up a tent. Some enough. Night was upon him.
"Hey Kyuubi. Are we friends?" Naruto asked.
"Friends? Don't make me laugh." The Kyuubi laughed any way. Naruto looked down to the ground.
"Then why are you helping me?" Naruto asked. The Kyuubi paused a second. Yeah sure the brat has grown on him in the past year, but he wasn't gonna let him know that.
"I simply do not want my container perceived as weak or stupid. If you die. I die." The Kyuubi said. Naruto smiled.
"Well thanks anyway." Naruto smirked at The Kyuubi stumbling over his words to tell him it's weird to thank a demon. Especially one that's the reason he's hated and the reason his parents are dead, but Naruto knew this...yet he couldn't hate one of the only things that's helped him survive for so long.
-The next day-
Naruto quickly set back off to walking. He was all energized and ready to get to his destination and it made him happy to know that he would be there soon...until The Kyuubi spoke. "At this paste we'll be there in two days." The Kyuubi said. Narutos face grew cold as he anime fell.
"I've already been walking for two days!" Naruto yelled in frustration.
"Not my fault your slow." The Kyuubi replied.
-Two days later-
Naruto is crawling on his face. He looks as dry as a dead plant. He slowly crawls over a sand dunes, eyeing the Sand Villages Gate.
"F-finally." Narutos dry voice said crawling closer and closer. He shifted his weak body against the gate and knocked. "Hello!" Naruto yelled. Two figures flashed in front of him. He couldn't track there movements unsurprisingly.
"Who are you? State your buisness." One man said.
"Koto. He's a child. He needs our help." A womans voice said. The woman stepped forward, but was stopped.
"It could be a trick from an enemy village Syrian." The man replied with a concerned expression.
"Look at him. Theres no way someone could do that to a child. Even if they where trying to trick us." Koto responded. The man sighed.
"Fine, but I'll get him. You stay here. I don't want my fiance getting stabbed." Koto said walking up to Naruto hesitantly. Naruto fell over causing the man to instinctively grab him.
"See I told you. Should we tell the Kazekage?" Syrian asked.
"We will eventually. Let's get him something to drink first." Koto responded. The two figures flashed away.
-1 hour later-
Naruti awoke in a strange bed. With a strange ceiling. He heard a board squeak beside him. Naruto jumped up now on the bed in a messy taijutsu stance. "Your stance sucks kid." A familiar voice said.
Naruto looked at the man sitting beside him. It was definitely the guy from the gate. He looked to be in his mid twenties. No visible scars. Brown hair and eyes. Well built guy, but no super muscular, and from what Narutos seen. Not someone who he can fight. Naruto sits on the bed.
"What's your name?" The man asked.
"Naruto. Yours?" Naruto asked back. Koto was a little shocked that the seven year old could talk with such a clear voice.
"Koto. What are you doing all the way out here by yourself. It's a myrical you survived." Koto said.
"I...uh...got lost." Naruto responded.
"Sure." Koto said.
"Hey. Weren't there two of you?" Naruto asked.
"Yes. Syrian will be back soon. She went to see the Kazekage." Koto responded. Naruto stepped out of bed. He looked at the apartment around him. It was nice. Definitely not the best, but good. Then there was a knock on the door. Koto answered. Syrian walked in.
"The Kazekage said, 'It didn't matter what we did with him. Keep him, or give him to the nearby orphanage'." Syrian repeated the words of The Kazekage. Koto sighed already knowing where this was going.
"I'm guessing you want to keep him?" Koto asked.
"I mean well if you insist we can keep him." Syrian kind of answered Kotos answer before walking up to Naruto and picking him up. Syrian had brown hair and eyes like Koto. Probably a common hair color here. She has a slim body, but you could tell there was muscle. Another person Naruto couldn't fight.
"Will you please put me down. I'm not a baby." Naruto said. Syrian a little suprised by the seven year olds ability to talk do clearly put him down.
"Syrian we can't adopt him. We have more important things coming up. Like our wedding, and I was hoping we'd always..have our first child the normal way." Koto said the last part blushing.
"Please! I promise I'll take real good care of him. I'll clean up after him and I'll make sure to feed him."Syrian begged. Naruto deadpanned.
"Does she think I'm a pet?" Naruto questioned. Koto however sighed.
"Fine." He gave in causing Syrian to cheer in happiness. Naruto just sighed.
"Well I guess that gives me a place to stay and company. Plus. I'm only here to learn the Jutsus then I'm leaving this village. Hopefully the villages Jinchuuriki on toe. Naruto got wrapped in a hug.
"I can't wait for us to bond." The group hug was soon joined by Koto.
"Maybe this won't be so bad." Naruto said giving into the embraces.
-Two years later-
Naruto was in a field training with his 'parents'. Naruto came along way in the past two years. He's what some people would say. The definition of prodigy. Naruto had very good chakra control already at a very young age. Naruto also could use multiple low ranking jutsu. He was probably the speed of a Chuunin. That was very hard to achieve.
"Naruto get knocked back by Koto. Koto then goes in for a kick witch Naruto barely dodges. Naruto jumps and goes for a round kick. His leg is caught and hes slammed into the ground. Koto goes to stomp on Naruto. Naruto rolls out of the way. Naruto kicks the back of Kotos legs with a chakra infused kick.
Koto falls to his knees. Naruto capitalizes on it. While Koto is falling he brings his other leg up connecting with Kotos chin. Naruto quickly gets up to see Koto getting up. "Good job Naruto. I like your strategy." Koto said.
"Startegy. What strategy?" Naruto said innocently. Koto smiled.
"I'm bigger and stronger. So that leaves you on the disadvantage side of the fight. So you go for different weak spots. Like my joints and head." Koto said. Naruto sighed in defeat.
"Man. Your to good." Naruto said in a defeated tone.
"Boys! Time to eat!" Syrian yelled from a now house.
"So how'd I do today?" Naruto asked.
"You did good...son." Koto said walking away.
"Son..he called me son. That's the first time he's done that." Naruto thought as tears threatened to break out of his eye, but where pushed away.
"Hurry up Naruto." Koto said.
"Coming...dad." Naruto said happily running to the door leading inside. Koto and him smiling the whole time and through the rest of the night and till morning.
-The next day-
Naruto and Syrian are walking out of a little shop. Naruto glances towards this villages academy. They tried to enroll Narutk, but nobody had any records on him They couldn't find any either so they just decided to do it themselves.
The two walk a little longer until they meet with Koto who is walking out of another shop. They soon reach there home.
"Hey Naruto. We both have a mission today so we won't be able to train you." Naruto grew a sad look.
"You promised you would start my sword training." Naruto said sadly. Syrian raised his chin.
"As soon as we get back. I promise we'll start." Syrian promised. Naruto smiled. His 'mother' never broke her promises so he knew it would happen. Koto walks down the stairs in his full shinobi attire.
"Ready?" Koto asked.
"Yes. We...love you Naruto. Don't do anything stupid." Syrian said getting up and walking to the door.
"Love you to!" Naruto shouted waving them by. "Now what to do? What do you think Kyuubi?" Naruto asked the brooding demon.
"You could start learning from that Forbidden Scroll." The Kyuubi suggested. Naruto shrugged.
"Why not. You know I'm lucky Koto and Syrian don't like getting in people's business. It was super easy avoiding the conversations about a the scrolls I have." Naruto thought. Naruto picked up the scroll and looked at the first Jutsu.
"The Shadow Clone Jutsu huh. Seems easy." The Kyuubi said smiling.
"Yes! I'll have it done in no time!" Naruto yelled.
-4 hours later-
Naruto does a handsighn and yells. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Nothing appears. The Kyuubi laughs.
"You suck." The Kyuubi said.
"Yeah. Yeah. Whatever." Naruti said. "Hey. When are Koto and Syrian gonna get home?" Naruto questioned putting his stuff up and walking downstairs.
"They mentioned it wouldn't take long." Naruto said worried. He then heard a knock at the door. Naruto went and opened up. He saw a shinobi of the sand.
"Are you Naruto Uzamaki?" The man asked.
"Yeah. Why?" Naruto asked. The man reached behind him and pulled out a sheathed sword. Naruto instantly recognized it.
"M-mothers sword. Why do you have it?" Naruto questioned. The man looked at Naruto sadly.
"The owner of this sword has fallen. Along with her partner have fallen. Koto Oui and Syrian Oui have died in battle."
The words made Narutos world freeze. Everything froze. Everything except Narutos now heart beating faster and faster. Tears slowly fell from his eyes. Naruto fell to his knees. "No...It can't be. This isn't how it's suppost to go. This is suppost to be my new beginning." Naruti said now on his hands and knees. Tears coming out in a more rapid paste. His heart beating in toe.
"I'm sorry. They where ambushed by enemy shinobi. This and two more things are left of there bodies." The man then pulls out two headbands soaked in blood. Naruto slowly got back to his feet. He slowly grabbed the headbands and sword.
"When are there funerals?" Narutos asked.
"In four days. I'm sorry for your loss. Would you like me to summon someone for you?" The man asked.
"No." Naruto said shutting the door. Naruto fell against the door slowly sitting down with his back against the door. Naruto sat there in silence. Not to speak for the rest of the night. His heart however, was screaming in agony.
-Three days later-
Naruto is sitting on a roof top when he notices a red haired boy walking up to him.
"Hello. Would you like to play. You look sad." The boy asked. Naruto smiled.
"Of course. What's your name?" Naruto asked.
"Gaara. What's yours?" The boy said happily.
"Naruto...Naruto Oui Uzamaki." Naruto said looking into the sky smiling.
"Nice to meet you. What do you want to play?" Gaara asked. Naruto just looked at him.
"Hey Gaara. Wants to be friends?" Naruto asked. Gaara smiled, but was also a bit suprised.
"Yes, but don't you know who I am?" Gaara asked. Naruto again smiled.
"If course. You have Shukaku. The Sand Spirit in you. That makes me want to be your friend even more." Naruto said. Gaara was shocked.
"Why?" Gaara asked.
"I'm just like you. I also have a demon in me. We are just alike. I was abused. Just like you." Naruto said. Gaara was confused.
"I thought I was the only one." Gaara said.
"Nope. In fact theres seven other people like us out there somewhere. So how about you come with me. I'll help you become strong and we can go find more friends." Naruto asked. Gaara hesitated, but then smiled.
"Ok." Gaara said. Naruto held out his hand. His mothers sword now on his back and bothe parents headbands on his neck.
-Next day-
Naruto stares down at two graves. He sighs and looks up. "Mom. Dad. I always had secrets from you. My past kept me from truly opening up to you guys. I mean I love you guys, but didn't fully trust you. I regret that now. I always doubted your love. I doubted that you truely meant it when you called me son. I regret that now. One day. We'll meet again. You guys and my other parents. We'll all be one big family."
Naruto picked up his bag of scrolls. He had them on one shoulder with his mothers katana on the other.
"Are you ok?" Gaara questioned. Naruto stopped and held out his hand.
"Yes thanks. Now hold tight." Narutos said before flashing away with Gaara.
-A couple of months later-
Naruto and Gaara are walking down a path. They are talking about how to further progress Gaaras training when they are stopped by a group of bandits. Naruto and Gaara stare at them.
"Give us the blonde or die." One man said. Gaara mad at the threat on Narutos life started moving the sand around them, but was stopped by Naruto putting his hand on Gaaras.
"No." Naruto said.
"Then die."One man charged at Naruto, but ended up knocked by a figure. The man looks up to see a man with three sword on his back.
"Say. What are a group of grown man beating up two defenseless little kids. So shameful." The man said. The man seemed to be six foot and four inches. He had black hair with brown eyes. He seemed to be in his early twenties. No more than 22. Strong jaw line with a black tank top to show his no jacked, but muscular body.
"Who are you? Stop interfering in our business!" Another brute yelled.
"Sorry, but when it comes to kids. I can't let any harm come towards them." The man said in a very serious tone. He unsheathed his sword with his right hand an pointed it towards the man and looked him in the eyes. The man went pale.
"S-sorry. We'll leave." The man said. The rest soon followed. He looked at Naruto and Gaara.
"So hey. Wheres your parents?" The man asked.
"Just us." Naruto said. The man looked at them.
"My name Shijo Kabera. What's yours?" The man held out his hand. Naruto took it.
"Naruto Oui Uzamaki. We're trying to start our own village. Want to help?" Naruto asked. The man thought then answered.
"Sure why not." He said.
