----------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------
 
Naruto was a little nervous. I mean this is Itachi we're talking about! Kyuubi however assured him that with his new power Itachi would be the one in trouble. They continued to train, each getting impatient.
 
Garaa stopped and motioned or Naruto to do the same thing. What is it Garaa? I'm getting hungry. Let's get going. Naruto sweatdropped not expecting that. Err… But at that moment Itachi and Kisame made their entrance. You two aren't going anywhere. “Kisame said.” Itachi stared at them. Nauto-kun…Garaa-kun. Garaa-kun? (I got that part from another fanfic. I just liked it. TY) We would like you to come with us.
 
Not a chance in hell! Naruto started to yell. Kisame started to chuckle. It doesn't matter what you say little demons. We are not demons! “Naruto yelled.” Well your new appearance says other wise. Itss very ugly I might add.
 
You're calling us ugly?! Have you looked in a mirror?! Kisame growled and launched himself at the two of them.
 
Garaa was quick to react and said, “Subako Kyuu” [desert coffin.] Kisame dodged and landed beside Itachi. A bit hasty. No matter, we are also in a rush. Itachi looked at Garaa who in return looked at him in the eye. Mangekyou Sharingan! Naruto started to yell. “Garaa don't look!” It was too late.
 
They waited for a few moments until…thump* Itachi was now unconscious. The worst part was that cuts all over his body now started to show. Kisame grew worried. What the hell did you do!? Garaa stared before answering.
 
He tried to get in my mind. Unlucky for him though the Shukaku and me and have merged. Merged? Yes. However the Shukaku is still there and, well…(at this Garaa smiled evilly) he went in a demons mind and got punished.
 
Eh? Kyuubi why didn't you tell me that Sharingan won't work on me? I forgot. Forgot?! Yes well anyways it will no longer be able to copy any of your moves either since demon moves can't be copied. But I'm not a demon. No, but you now have demon chakra mixed with your own. Err…ok.
 
Kisame was starting to go frantic. If the Shukaku brat is this strong just imagine Kyuubi.
He quickly grabbed Itachi and ran. Oh no you don't! Garaa threw sand at him while Naruto performed some hand seals.
 
I don't want to deal with them ever again! I hope this ends it, “Naruto thought.” Naruto summoned a lot of chakra. Katon Karyuu Endan! [fire dragon blast] A huge dragon came out of Naruto's mouth heading towards Kisame.
 
Oh shit! Kisame jumped into the air while doing hand seals. Just before they were hit he vanished. Shit! Teleportation technique! Naruto's dragon roared in the sky before disappearing.
Everyone in town heard it but were warned earlier that Garaa and Naruto were training so didn't think much of it. However a certain group of ninja's that Naruto had no intention of seeing just happened to see and hear the dragon.
 
 
(In the forest 10 min away)
 
The group was staring wide eyed. Susuke was thinking hard. That dragon…that power…ITACHI! Sasuke was about to take off running but Kakashi caught his arm.
I don't think that was your brother.
 
How can you be certain? That attack was for him. Jiraiya started to speak. We need to hurry. If we go fast we should get there in 3 min. If we walk…10 min. Do you think that was Naruto-kun? “Neji asked.”
 
Sasuke smirked. I doubt he performed that powerful attack. Ano sa…bu..but if it is Nar…Naruto-kun we should hurry. They all nodded. (save for Susuke)
 
 
(With Naruto and Garaa)
 
They were getting ready to leave when Naruto let out a low growl. Garaa knew who was coming and was very annoyed. Damn it! I did not want them here! Let's run. Garaa shrugged.
 
Both leaped off but could tell they were being chased. Naruto was a little tired from using all those powerful jutsus during practice and the fight. Garaa felt the same way. They knew all they need was some time to rest but time was not something they have.
 
They only made it to the bridge when there was a distinct yell. STOP! They both stopped but didn't turn around. Behind them stood the group of shinobi's. Oi Dobe! Ever so slowly Naruto turned around. Everyone could feel the killing intent. Uchiha Sasuke.
 
 
(Team 2)
 
Damn this is so boring. “Kiba complained.” Tenten and Ino were getting annoyed as well. Shino you couldn't really tell. They had been searching with no luck. Pakun had just arrived. Tsunade-sama's orders. Ok every. Kurenai started. Kakashi and Jiraiya are pretty sure they found him. Hokage-sama said we could go back home. She will call us if help is needed anymore.
 
Copying his lazy student Asuma said, “How troublesome.”
 
 
Uchiha Sasuke. They stared at each other for a long time before Jiraiya interrupted.
Oi Naruto! What the hell were you thinking! I made the best choice I've ever made before. Hinata, Neji, Shikamaru, and Lee were very shocked to see Naruto and Garaa together. Especially the way they were now.
 
Naruto-kun we learned about your…your past. Well it is kind of obvious. Naruto retorted. Hinata continued. Naruto-kun we still like you and…and know that your not the Kyuubi! Even though…though you have fox features.
 
Naruto lightened up. Heh. Thanks Hinata-chan! But I cannot return. I hate that village. Besides just look at us!
 
Neji took this time to speak. Naruto, you yourself said that fate could be changed. Are you just going to give up?
 
Naruto don't let the power of youth go out! We want you home! Everyone sweatdropped at Lee.
 
Garaa was getting a little annoyed. It's his own choice to leave. Besides, you who treat him like shit have no right to say you want him back.
 
Ne ne. Can't we just talk things out? Kakashi said in a lazy drawl.
 
Garaa we're both low on chakra. We could probably beat Ero-sennin but then we would be too tired for the rest. What do you propose Naruto? Sigh* Comply for now but once we're healed we escape. Agreed. We still have quit a lot of gold left as well.
 
Pretty soon we can use Henge anyways. Ok. Damn I want to kill Susuke-teme! Relax. Someday maybe, but for now no. Kit he's right just keep under control. Shukaku and I want to teach you two a very useful technique. Unfortunately we need a high cliff.
 
They have one near sand village. I don't want to go but I would like to sneak in for 10 min and tell my siblings I'm ok. Naruto smiled mentally.
 
What's taking them so long? “Jiraiya thought.” Hope they don't try to esc…We agree. Huh?
 
Naruto continued. Let's go to Tazuna's house and we'll talk. Fine.
 
(At Tazuna's house)
 
Inari, Tsunami and Tazuna respected their privacy by leaving the room.
 
Garaa and Naruto sat next to each staring at the now smaller group. Shikamaru and Lee were sent back to deliver a message. Lee because he was fast and Shikamaru didn't want to be in a troublesome situation.
 
So ero-sennin, what did you want to talk about? You damn brat its Jiraiya! Naruto only smiled showing his fangs.
 
Naruto why did you leave? It's simple. Nobody wants me. Now that's not true Naruto. Kakashi started but Naruto gave him a glare. Kakashi you don't even deserve to be my sensei. You taught me nothing.
 
All you ever cared about was that bastard. He pointed at Sasuke who glared.
 
Kakashi sighed. I admit I haven't been the best teacher and I'm ready to make up for it.
 
I have a better sensei now. The fur ball is teaching me some new tricks. I heard that!
 
Jaraiya suddenly grew serious. Is that why you look like that? Naruto's tail twitched in annoyance. No. Kyuubi and I have fused. I now have Kyuubi's power added to my own. The same happened to Garaa.
 
Sasuke's eye twitched. That dobe just got a whole shit load of power!
 
Nar…Naruto-kun are you ok? Are you hu..hurt anywhere? Umm nope.
 
Garaa smirked. It was obvious this girl liked Naruto. It still wouldn't stop Naruto from leaving. He's dealed with as much hate as I.
 
Naruto, Tsunade wants to see you. Naruto turned to Jaraiya. I know, but I can't. Why not? Damn it! Look at me! Nobody would want me back there! Especially Sasuke and Sakura!
 
Sasuke stood up. Naruto I… He never got farther than that because Naruto got up and left to his room.
 
Garaa got up to follow. Hold it kid. Garaa turned to the sannin. What about you? How did you end up with Naruto? None of your business. “Garaa snarled.” Damn brat! No respect.
 
 
Garaa found Naruto facing a wall when he walked in the room.
 
Hey Garaa. Garaa was a little taken back but replied with hello. Sigh*
 
Heheh. Garaa looked at the blond curiously. I wonder how Susuke-bastard will feel when he finds out that we defeated ITACHI! Garaa rolled his eyes.
 
We should leave tomorrow night. Hai. Although we're fast healers our new form still needs adjusting and getting used too. Hn.
 
Oi fox! What's this new move were you talking about? It is called Akuma Hishou no jutsu [demonic flight.] (Made it up myself kickass!) You can make up your own wings from chakra. It's best if you think about the colors you want now.
 
Garaa got interested. We can make any color we want? That's right brat but I want you to add a little yellow in your wings to match the color of your new chakra.
 
Kit you should do a bit of red as well. The two boys were confused but thought it best not to argue. I want dark black feathery wings with yellow tips. That sounds cool Garaa. What about you Naruto? Hmmm…how about…
 
 
(With Jaraiya)
 
They're pretty quiet in there. Jaraiya muttered. I'm sure Naruto will be back to normal in a few days. “Said Kakashi cheerfully.” Neji decided to speak. But will it really matter?
 
All heads turned to him. Explain.
 
Sigh* We all know that Naruto was never liked when he was younger. (And he still isn't liked) Tsunade-sama just told us that the adults blame him and act as if he is Kyuubi. His new form doesn't exactly mean he'll get a warm welcome back. The same goes for Garaa.
 
Do…do you think the ho…hokage can do anything? “stuttered Hinata.” A hokage can't change people's opinions. Besides, what if a mob forms? No. I think Naruto and Garaa should come with me and train.
 
Why can't the dobe just use henge? “Sasuke asked stating the obvious.” They all mentally slapped themselves for not thinking of that.
 
Kakashi spoke. If we do convince Naruto to come willingly, what about Garaa? Jaraiya seemed to think for a while before getting up. I'm not sure…but I need to talk to them BOTH.
 
 
(Garaa and Naruto's room)
 
I'm gonna have white feathery wings with red tips but also have sky blue lines in them. Garaa nodded in acceptance. He started to speak out loud. You should get some sleep if you want your chakra back.
 
Naruto grinned. It usually only takes a few hours but that's fine. You should too. Garaa glared. You know I can't.
 
Eh? But Shukaku and you merged. He can't take control. Shukaku is this true?! Sigh* Yep. And you didn't tell me why…? Cuz I like being a jerk. Heheh. I can finally…sleep?
 
Naruto grinned at the comical look Garaa had on his face. (last night they both talked all night and didn't know he could sleep.)
 
 
(Jaraiya POV)
 
Hmm. Now how should I go about this? Jaraiya was standing outside their door. What the hell. It's now or never.
 
I knocked silently but got no answer. Slowly pushing open the door I had to stifle a laugh. Naruto was sleeping with his body all over the place and Garaa was sleeping curled up in a ball. (Like a cat) And they were rather…close. (No its not gonna be GaraaNaru. Jaraiya is just a perv!) Quickly closing the door and heading back to the others. This can wait till morning.
 
(Next day)
 
Yawn* Naruto got up and stretched. Damn. I haven't slept that well in ages. Naruto snorted when he saw Garaa curled up in a ball. Getting up and still stretching he made his way to the kitchen.
 
Unfortunately for him the others were there as well. Susuke and Naruto glared daggers at each other before Naruto took a plate full of eggs, toast, and bacon. With a thanks to Tsunami, Naruto went outside to look at the ocean. (Which was like 4 feet away!)
 
As Naruto sat down he felt a familiar presence. Hey ero-sennin. Its Jaraiya damn it! Naruto snorted. Jaraiya sat down. Can you tell me what really happened? Why would it matter? The villagers hate me and our team is screwed up. Naruto I think Sasuke is sorry. Naruto snorted. SASUKE? SORRY? I don't think so. Well what about Sakura? Naruto's tail twitched. Piff. She only cares about her beloved Sasuke. Hmm. Well what about Hinata?
 
Eh? What about her. This kid is so dense. Both Jaraiya and Kyuubi thought the same thing. Baka! What the hell!? Why are you yelling at me? Guh never mind.
 
So where's Garaa. Naruto actually grinned. Enjoying sleeping for the first time. He had the Shukaku sealed in him right? Yea…? I heard his father sealed it in him. Naruto looked up. If you want to talk about it, talk to Garaa. It is kind of personal. I see.
 
Why are you so up tight around the others but alone with me your fine? Naruto gave a true smile. It wasn't one of those fakes that he uses. Because your one of my precious people. Smiling Jaraiya ruffled Naruto's hair and went inside.
 
(Garaa's room)
 
Garaa was just getting up. He had never felt this way before. Since he couldn't sleep his muscles were sore and was always tired. Garaa had never felt so relaxed.
 
Noticing Naruto wasn't here he got up and stretched. A knock at the door startled Garaa. Opening the door with a scowl he looked to see who was there. It was the white haired man, Jaraiya.
 
What do you want? Damn brat is so rude. I came to talk. Naruto is not here. I'm not here for Naruto. I'm here to talk to you. Garaa raised an invisible eyebrow. No one had ever wanted to talk to him.
 
I will not help you change Naruto's mind. Once again I'm not here about Naruto. Just you. No one has ever tried to talk to you before huh? Garaa shook his head before cursing himself for telling him that.
 
Jaraiya smiled. Follow me. Gaara's tailed moved back and forth with annoyance (Just love the tails ^_^) at being given an order but followed anyways.
 
 
(In Konoha)
 
Tsunda was growing impatient and worried. Shikamaru and Lee had just told her the news. She dismissed them and told Sakura and Gai that the letters were no longer needed. It didn't surprise her that Naruto and Garaa were together.
 
Mental note to self: Threatened Kazekage into telling her what happened with Garaa.
 
Sigh* Naruto please come back.
 
 
(With Garaa and Jaraiya)
 
Garaa was a little nervous. No one had ever wanted to talk to HIM.
 
So Garaa, you came from the sand village didn't you? Hai. How was it like there? Garaa glared. How do think. That damn village drove me out. Now I'm getting somewhere. Jaraiya thought.
 
They drove you out because you merged with Shukaku huh? Garaa glanced at him. They would've done it sooner or later. Poor kid. Surely someone tried to help you. They… They tried. My siblings. They would have been thrown out if they help the `town demon.'
 
Ne what about your gourd? Garaa growled angrily and Jaraiya was a little nervous. I didn't exactly have time to pack. Uh huh. So you were driven out and Naruto ran away. Seems that way. You two could still become missing-nin, regardless of Naruto's letter.
 
Garaa looked up tp see where he was going with this. OI brat! He has a point. Its better to have some allies instead of huge amounts of missing-nin on your ass. But won't Naruto and I gain all of your power? Yes but it will take a long time. Since you have merged with us you two are now hanyou. (half demon) You will now live for a very long time. You could still die in battle but now your practically immortal! I see.
 
Garaa looked up. Are you proposing we just go with you and everything will be fine? No. I'm saying you and Naruto travel with me and train. Hn. It is up to Naruto. Garaa turned to leave. Why don't you just use henge? Shukaku said we need to get used to our new bodies.
 
He gave his simple answer and just stared into the ocean looking at his reflection.
 
(With Naruto)
 
Naruto walked back outside to see Garaa and ero-sennin together. Getting an evil idea Naruto ran full speed at Garaa. Garaa, sensing movement, looked around and saw Naruto running at him. Remembering the last time Garaa side stepped and let Naruto miss him and fall into the water.
 
Jaraiya started to laugh. Ne shut up ero-sennin! Garaa! Jump in! Garaa just stared. Why? To go swimming! I don't swim. He turned to leave but felt a hand push him. Since he didn't have his sand shield activated Garaa fell in with a splash.
 
(flashback)
 
During practice Shukaku start to talk. Oi Brat! What is it Shukaku? Now that you don't have your gourd anymore you have to use the dragon sign to make it active.
 
(end flashback)
 
Naruto started to laugh while Garaa gave the two of them a death glare. Eh Naruto? Yea ero-sennin? Jaraiya leaned down. We saw the fire dragon in the sky. Naruto's face darkened. Ya. Jaraiya just smiled. It was for Itachi huh?
 
Naruto smiled knowing where this was going. Yea! We kicked his ass! Hehehe. Naruto then proceeded to teach Garaa how to swim since he had never done it before.
 
(Kakashi and others)
 
Do..you think Jaraiya-sama will con..convince Naruto to come back? Kakashi smiled. I'm sure he'll come around. Besides, with that new look girls will want to hug him to death with those ears and tails. Hinata blushed.
 
She imagined herself petting his long fluffy tail. Neji frowned at Kakashi knowing that Kakashi knew Hinata had a crush on Naruto.
 
Sasuke was busy thinking. This will be all my fault if the dobe leaves. (Not that he would admit it out loud.) Since Kyuubi merged with Naruto and is teaching him new techniques maybe he'll teach them to me as well! I must get stronger and kill Itachi!
 
They started to watch Naruto and Garaa play in the water. Garaa even smiled a few times.
 
(Naruto and Garaa)
 
Jaraiya was laughing at the two. Especially Garaa. He just knew that no one had ever done this with him. Unknown to him the two boys and their demons were talking. Kit you should go with the old man. What! But you said I should run away! Correction, you ran away. Think about it. You can learn more jutsu's from this guy. Kyuubi added hoping Naruto would take the bait.
 
Maybe, but first we have to go to sand country so Garaa can see his brother and sister! And learn that new move. Garaa added. Naruto you should see Tsunade. If you decide to stay that is fine.
 
Sorry Garaa, but your not getting rid of me that easy. I'm leaving for sure! But I guess we should see her so we don't have missing-nin attack us.
 
Both stopped their splashing and conversation as they got out of the water. Both shook themselves dry but didn't refuse the towel given to them. Damn I really don't want to go but I must.
 
Ne ero-sennin? What? We'll come with you. At that moment they could've sworn they heard a cheer.
 
(inside house)
 
Everyone stared at a blushing Hinata who had just screamed for joy when they were eavesdropping on Naruto.
 
 
Another ch done. I really don't know where I'm going with this. First Naruto leaves then comes back. I can for sure tell you he won't e staying but oh well.
 
Just review and let me know how you felt. Don't sue me if its bad. My first fic.
