DISCLAIMER: DON'T OWN NARUTO SO LIVE WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(dang disclaimers)

I opened my eyes and I was surprised to see a worried looking sandaime staring at me.

"naruto are you ok?", he smiled

'naruto' I thought subconciously a tear started to slide down my face. The hokage saw this and worried.

"Sandaime-sama", sandaime looked towards me giving me his whole undivided attention. "I need to talk to you alone", I said which caught the sandaime and the
medic-nins who were hiding surprised.

"Alright", he referred to me then he faced the medic-nins "leave us you will receive your pay at the mission center", the hokage gestured the medic-nins towards the
door. "What is it naruto?", the hokage's face grew serious he knew naruto would never call him sandaime-sama or even hokage at that not even his real name instead
naruto always referred to him as jii-san or oldman.

"I'm not naruto", I said seriously as I felt the last of the medic-nins leave

"What are you talking about?", about the hokage's face grew grim

"I meant that I'm kyuubi and naruto gave me his life", I said as I bowed my head in shame or guilt I could not tell

"kyuubi then what happened?", sandaime asked

I proceeded to explain everything to sandaime.

"...... and so naruto gave me his life to live so I could do good deeds to make up for my bad ones and avoid oblivion", I finished

"I see then I'll sign you up in the academy", sandaime said as he stood up

"what do you mean academy?", I asked beffudled(is there even such a word?)

"You said you had to do good deeds right why not be a ninja doing errands for others is a good deed no?", sandaime smiled

"yeah I guess", I said giving sandaime a grin which was a lot like naruto's TM grin

"then get ready term starts in the next 5 months", sandaime left thinking 'the future seems to be bright not only for konoha but for all'

I sat there pondering on what I should do then I thought about something. 'guess I have to start somewhere' I thought

after a week of recuperating in the hospital I went on my way to see the hokage. The hokage tower was as tall as ever. I entered the tower the attendant who was
smiling upon seeing me suddenly frowned.

"How may I help you?", she asked as nicely as possible

"I wish to see the hokage", I said calmly

"I'm sorry but you need to have an appointment the hokage is very busy these days", the attendant replied. From what I could see or read in her eyes she was
planning on denying anything I asked for.

"Naruto", the hokage walked in

"jii-san", I replied with a grin

"Well naruto seems like you've got nothin' to do as well", the hokage said heartily

"nope not a thing since I finished work this early", I said looking around calmly

"work? you have work?", sandaime asked

"yeah I work at ichiraku's", I said as if it was nothing

"I didn't know that", the hokage said scratching his head(did that rhyme or what?)

"didn't you ever wonder how I ever got so many free ramen coupons", I said while my eyes were like this -_-

"I think we have a lot to talk about so let's go to my office ne?", the oldman said

We walked on for what seemed like ours but I knew better. The hokage tower was annoyingly built high and old man had to make me climb the stairs with him. If I
didn't know any better I'd say the oldman's training was walking up these god damn stairs. I had nothing better to do so I looked around. The walls were a nice
beige color and every now and then there were pictures of shinobi one I noticed was a picture with kakashi and the yondaime in it. the yondaime was in the
background smiling nervously as he looked at kakashi at his right staring in a way that said that he didn't care at another guy to his left who was throwing kakashi a
death glare and in the middle was a serene looking girl smiling a smile that could silence a war. It was very disturbing how the guy to the yondaime's left reminded me
of naruto.

"That was Uchiha Obito", sandaime spoke

I was staring at the picture for quite a while now I didn't even notice that I stopped walking. The sandaime noticed I was concentrating more on the one called Uchiha
Obito. He had short messy black hair he wore goggles on his head he also wore a black shirt and white shorts. We continued walking again after I was finished
scanning the picture. We finally reached the hokage's office.

"So naruto what have you come here to talk about?", the sandaime asked as he gestured me towards a seat

"come now hokage-sama you can call me by my real name", I said as I sat down

"alright then kyuubi what do you need?", the sandaime asked

"do you remember that girl with the ones that attacked me?", I asked

"ofcourse I do", sandaime asnwered as he wondered where this may lead to

"I wish to pay her a visit", I finished then an awkward silence filled the room

"You do know that this is the girl who accompanied the two men who were the cause of you losing you're best friend, you scared so much that seeing you might
cause her to snap completely and we can't leave you alone with this girl since you might kill her", sandaime said all this in the span of 5 seconds

"uh.... yeah", I said stunned at the oldman's vocal skills

"alright here", the oldman signed a document and stamped it then handed it to me.

"what's this for?", I asked as I examined the paper

"It's a permit to visit someone at the asylum near the south gate that's where she's being kept", the sandaime said

"okay thanks oldman", I said as I left (dammit those damn stairs again)

I finally reached the south gate where the asylum was. It was a big gray building nothing fancy just depressing. I entered the asylum and went straight to the service
counter.

The clerk took one look at me cocked an eyebrow and said, "How may I help you?"

"I'm here to visit someone", I said handing her the document the sandaime gave me

She read the paper then surveyed me closely then said, "follow me please"

I followed her and saw there were no guards or other people.

"mi-"

"we're short of staff", the lady cut me off

"why?", I asked

"few nins care to guard this place and most medic-nins are more at home at a hospital rather than an asylum", she said stiffly. "here we are", she gestured me towards
a door

"thank you", I bowed but as I straightened up she disappeared. Creepy. I opened the door and entered the room was like those of a crazy person's alright the walls
were cushioned and in the corner ws the girl I was looking for. She looked like a total mess, she was nothing like my assailant a month ago her brownish black hair
was messy and she had eye bags that meant she couldn't sleep well and they were also bloodshot I couldn't tell if it was from crying or lack of sleep or both. She
wore a straight jacket and from what I could see she was crying.

"hello there", I said gently as I approached her

"you...", her face went white when she saw me

"yeah it's me", I said I smiled as I crouched beside her

"stay away from me", she said pleadingly as she pushed herself deeper into the walls wishing she could just go through them

"listen it's alright now I won't hurt you", I said kindly

"please just leave me", the girl said

"I'm sorry but I can't", I said looking away. I sat down beside her and then silence filled the room a few minutes passed by.

"why didn't you kill us?", the girl asked stuttering

"Cause my conscience told me not to", I smiled at her but she just looked away

"I'm sorry", she started to cry. "I'm sorry I'm sorry...", she kept saying I'm sorry again and again

Suddenly something in my memory gave me a kick in the head and I remembered a girl she had long curtain like hair but it was blacker than the night she wore a
snow white kimono and she kept saying, "I'm sorry master I'm sorry master". I felt saddened by the memory I knew who the girl was there was not a moment that I
didn't think of her since I met her. Back in reality I suddenly hugged the girl who was with my assailants a month ago. She looked surprised or shocked to say the
least, honestly so was I.

"I'm sorry...", I started, "for making you go through so much" a tear started to fall from my face

------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------

I was surprised the demon who me and my allies attecked a month ago was hugging me. I was scared so much I thought I was going to die or I hoped he'd just kill
me quick. I withdrew into my mind and saw the nightmares returning the crimson eyes, the bloody boy, the terrifying atmosphere from the red chakra, everything it
was all coming back. I started to cry I secluded myself in my mind and then I heard him say the last thing I thought I'd ever hear from him.

"I'm sorry..", then he paused, "for making you go through so much"

I tried not to listen but I heard it then I felt something... warmth, caring and maybe even love. When I felt it the walls I made around me to keep me safe here in my
mind started to crumble and I saw no... reexperienced every single bad memory I had but strangely there was no pain. I opened my eyes to face him and I saw him
crying. I suddenly asked unable to control myself.

"Why are you crying?", I asked shakily

"It's just that you reminded me of someone I loved a long time ago", the boy said then suddenly something clicked in my mind and I suspected he knew he messed up
as well.

"I guess you already know who I am", the boy let me go and sat beside me again. "I'm kyuubi", he admitted, "the boy who was the original owner of this body and
one of my closest friends died", he stated and more tears ran down his face.

I don't know how I don't know why I don't know what I was or was not thinking but I said something which took us both a minute to register.

"hold me again", I said

"what?", he asked

"hold me like you did a while ago", I buried my head into my knees and I couldn't bear to look at him I didn't know if I felt stupid for asking a demon to hold me or
stupid like a girl who asked her crush for a kiss but I knew one thing when he let me go I felt scared and cold not because I knew it was really the legendary fox
demon kyuubi who was with me right now but because he let me go.

He held me again and said, "I guess you're not afraid of me anymore"

"no", I rested my head on his chest but the sudden change in position made me fall on top of him which made me realise our age difference he looked around 7 and I
was 13.

"hehe I guess not", he chuckled softly

"I feel safe in your arms", I confessed with no reservations as a blush stained my cheeks

"where did that come from?", he asked amused

"I dunno myself", I said as I was in complete bliss I closed my eyes and let the warmth flow through my body

------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------

I looked at her she was beautiful really after you got through the messy long hair, bloodshot eyes and dirt and grime that covered her light complectioned skin to me
she was beautiful and I wondered if my wife in heaven would forgive me for thinking like this. I sighed a bit and thought I'd let her enjoy the hug and rest for a while.
fifteen minutes later.

"ahem!ahem!", a cough resounded through the cell which awakened me from my nap

"I hope I'm not disturbing anything", it was the oldman I suddenly scrambled to my feet the girl went to her corner again and hid what I thought was a blush(o_O).

"nope your not interrupting anything anyway can you arrange for her release", I asked the oldman

the sandaime cocked an eyebrow and said, "sure but we have to monitor her behavior to see if she is mentally healthy"

"fine if you have to but she's got my approval", I gave the oldman a cheeky grin and a thumbs up.

"heh so I guess you're leaving", the oldman asked amused

"yup sure am", I said as I dusted myself of dirt. "but gimme a sec first would ya?", I asked the hokage

"sure just don't do anything weird", the sandaime walked off laughing

"dammit old man!", I shouted after him. I turned towards the girl and smiled. "didn't quite catch your name", I said

"hikari. yamato, hikari", she said

"well nice to meet you hikari my names kyuubi but for now I'm Naruto. Uzumaki, Naruto", I said with a grin. "I'll keep visiting you till you can get out and maybe we
can do lunch ciao", I ran out and met up with the oldman thinking that I just made a friend.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------

"I'll be looking forward to that kyuubi-kun no naruto-kun", I smiled as I saw the retreating form of the boy whom I've just developed feelings for.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------

The months past by quickly and here I am a day before the start of my term at the ninja academy. I yawned as I walked over towards my house. Today's workout
was a bit lighter than the usual just to keep me in check. The sealing orb is sure a handy relic for times like these sadly I'm only at double the gravity sure I went three
times but that was only for like 2 hours so I could get a feel of it but it sure wasn't like going double gravity. The first time I used the gravity bind was around two
weeks after I got out of the hospital I immediately used my power to visit my personal storehouse in pocket dimensions and picked it up. The sealing orb was a
black orb which was once used to seal my powers but I took it and put it into my storage I never thought I'd get it out ofstorage ever again but I made a few mods
and now it's the perfect training tool it allows me to control the gravity applied to my body and its ability to drain my energy is useful as well in chakra control since it
drains my chakra at different amounts. Going double the gravity was no big deal it was like having a kid or two strapped to your body so I quickly mastered it but the
third was like hell.The first time I went three times I thought I was going to die. I guess I easily handled the double gravity because of the changes made to the body
to house my soul. I did my usual 50 laps around konoha and did 500 push-ups and sit-ups everyday to get used to the weight while I excercised.

As I was saying I was walking home but I guess I should visit naruto first. I had a grave made for him but ofcourse only with the help of the hokage. Evryday I would
visit his grave before practice there I meditated and reminisced the 7 years we were together but mostly the first 2 years were like really annoying I could bearly sleep
with him crying all the time. As I reached my destination the place where shinobi monument where naruto's grave was I spotted trouble with a capital T.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------

"Hey forehead stop going around Sasuke", a girl sneered at me

"yeah", another chimed in

there were around five girls in all and a couple of punks who liked to make fun of me. I was just going to meet Ino and I thought taking the shortcut near the shinobi
monument would be good turns out these idiots picking on me now were hanging out here and now here I am surrounded, outnumbered, and backed into a corner
or tree for a better description with no way out and now I was being beat up this was just not my day.

"help!", I screamed , "help sasuke"

"sasuke won't come for someone like you", punk A sneered

"yep we can beat you up as much as we want hehe", said punk B

"sasuke help", I kept yelling again and again.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------

I was walking home and then I heard someone scream my name. Definitely a girl I thought, better hide. I jumped into a bush and looked around and I saw that
annoying Sakura girl screaming my name and calling out to me for help while there were a couple of guys holding her to the tree and five girls three of them taking
turns slapping her. This is none of my business I thought I better just leave but then hey I could use the practice so I got ready to jump in and kick some ass and then
someone who was the last person I expected and ever wanted to see appeared.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------------------------

"hey wattya doin?", I asked as if clueless

"who are you?", a girl with glasses asked

"I'm the guy who sneaked hot sauce into the valentines chocolate you gave sasuke", I fell over laughing as I remembered the look on sasuke's face as he tasted the
chocolate after naruto took my plan of a practical joke and put hot sauce in one of the chocolates given to sasuke and it so happened it was the chocolate of the girl I
was talking to right now.

"SO IT WAS YOU!!", she stormed and told her friends a couple of commands which went like leave forehead alone and beat the living daylights out of that chump
anyway I wasn't listening cause I was too busy laughing.

They stomped on me which was quite easy considering I was laughing my ass off on the ground. After around ten minutes of kicking me around like a soccer ball they
got tired and left.

"Well that was amusing", I muttered as I stood up

"hey naruto are you alright?", a worried looking sakura greeted me as I looked her way

"yeah just a couple of bruises don't worry I'll live", I grinned and folded my hands behind my head and started for naruto's grave.

"did you just save me?", sakura blurted out and she seemed shocked in asking

"it depends on how ya look at it so I guess it's your call bye", I waved her off

"that was just weird", sakura and sasuke sweatdropped simultaneously

I arrived at naruto's grave around dinner time.

"come out I know you're there you didn't even make an effort to hide yourself", I spoke

"I knew you'd visit again", the oldman stepped out of the shadows. "you just can't let it go can you? I guess it'll have to take more than five months for your wounds to
heal", sandaime walked towards the spot beside me.

"It'll take me forever for that wound to heal, I owe naruto as much as konoha owes its shinobi for their survival. If it weren't for naruto I wouldn't be here or down
there", I looked down

"So tomorrows the big day", the sandaime changed the topic

"yeah, want to talk about it over a bowl of hot ramen?", I asked grinning

"sure", the sandaime smiled

"you're paying", I said quickly

"huh but what about those free ramen coupons you kept bragging about?", the hokage asked dumbfounded

"Oh those? I used them all up for lunch", I simply explained

"but...", oldman was trying to make an excuse so he wouldn't have to pay

"yosh free dinner here I come!", I shouted running to ichiraku's with a fist in the air not giving the hokage time to make an excuse.


======================================================================== =============

that's the end of this chapter took me a while to update because we were moving to a new house and we didn't have internet for a couple of days.
