Chapter 4

On with the story

The sun rose into the sky, its light illuminating all in its gaze, its rays warming all and signaling the start of the day. The sun bore down on many places across the globe and people started there daily routine, but for one village, today would be a special day. That village of-course was Gaia, the village hidden in the trees. Today would go down in the history of Gaia as the day its citizens would leave the village and reveal themselves to the world. Today for the first time, three rookie shinobi from Gaia would be leaving the village to participate in the Chunin exams.

 

The three genin walked casually through the clearing, the citizens of the village watched as the three made their way to the edge of the clearing. Some villagers sat in the nearby trees, some just hunched over on the grass, but the three genin were the center of attention. The three made it to the edge and stopped in front of the mother tree, and those underneath. In front off the three stood a figure, tall and strong, his posture firm but relaxed, serious but playful. In front of them stood the leader of the village, Naruto Kitsune, the first Chikage.

 

Naruto wore the official uniform of the Chikage, a green and white robe covering his whole body and a triangular green and white hat with a golden tree on the front, the symbol of their village. Of-course his uniform was modified to fit his tails and ears. On the sides of Naruto stood Midnight and Sasuke, warmly smiling at the three young genin. And behind them set Kyuubi, watching over everyone. Naruto gave the three a warm smile before beginning to speak.

 

“Today is a very special day in Gaia, today we send our shinobi out into the world not only to show off our power, but for peace and understanding. We have lived with each other, cut off from the world but there must be room for change. Today we will begin to explore the world and learn new things. We will learn from other cultures and they will do the same. These three brave souls will represent us and we will learn from there experiences. Wish them luck as they go out into an unknown and harsh world. With any luck we may be able to teach others of our ways and they too may learn to live in harmony as we do.” Naruto said while looking out at the crowd. His attention then focused on the genin. “Kenshi, Yin, Yang, make us proud.”

 

As Naruto ended his speech there was a wave of cheers and yipps of approval. Naruto watched the interaction between his children. Kenshi stood in the middle with Yin and Yang at his sides. He wore tight black cargo pants and a black vest with nothing under it. He wore his village headband proudly across his forehead. The metal was painted white and a golden tree was carved into the middle. His long knee length black hair hung freely and his tails swayed with excitement, a small smile gracing his muzzle.

 

To his side Yin and Yang watched him. They each wore identical clothing. They wore tight black cargo pants with silver swirl designs. They had a small silver t-shirt tucked into their pants with a black vest. At the edges of the vest and pants was silver fur. They also wore their long black knee length hair down, and there three tails swung freely behind them. They both wore there headband around there necks. They looked exactly the same but they were easily separated by their unique smells. Yang was the first to speak, looking over to Kenshi.

 

“I know that smile; I'm guessing your thinking about more than just making peace right Kenshi-kun.” He said while nudging Kenshi with his elbow.

 

“Well of-course, we are going to Konoha for the Chunin exams after all, and you know Kenshi-kun, just dieing to test his strength on a “worthy opponent.” Yin said mockingly.

 

Kenshi face turned emotionless and he knocked Yang's hand away with his tail.

 

“We aregoing to Konoha to make piece, I wasn't thinking about how much fighting we'll be doing.”

 

Yin giggled and looked at Kenshi knowingly, “What ever you say Kenshi-kun.” Yang giggled as well but they both stopped when they saw the heated glare from Kenshi. After he was done glaring, they all focused there attention on the figure that appeared in front of them in a puff of smoke.

 

A seven tailed demon appeared in front of them, his brown tails swinging powerfully behind him. His height rivaled Naruto's but he was much more muscular. Even though he had a huge form, he stood casually in front of Naruto, and the two began to speak.

 

“Naki-kun it's nice to see you. Are you ready for the trip?”

 

“Yes Naruto-kun, the Konoha hokage, Tsunade is expecting us and we will be able to leave at any time.”

 

“Good then you may leave at once. As you know you will be their sensei until they return to Gaia. Keep them safe.” Naruto said while looking at the three.

 

“I will protect them with my life Naruto-kun.”Naki said while turning around and looking down at the three. Without a word they all disappeared from the clearing towards Konoha where the Chunin exams would be held.

 

“Do you think they will be alright Naru-kun? I'm not worried about the exams but how do you think the villagers will react to them. You know how they treated you.” Sasuke said worriedly.

 

Naruto looked down on him with a smile. “That's why Naki-kun is with them. He is very powerful, one of our best. If anything happens he will protect them.”

 

Sasuke continued to look in the team's direction, “I hope your right.”

 

The four travel the three-hundred miles to Konoha at high speed. They flew through the elements at a constant speed no human could ever dream of moving. No words were said on there journey. They were all nervous about what they would see; they could feel each others nervousness. The only knowledge they had of the outside world were stories told to them by Naruto, Sasuke, Midnight, and Kyuubi.

 

They were told of Naruto and Sasuke's childhood, and the many adventures that Kyuubi had in her many thousands of years on earth. There opinion of humans was that of disgust and hate, but they were told to give humans a chance. Though they would hide it once they got to Konoha, they would still hate humans unless they were given a reason not to. Even Naki had the same opinion and he had interactions with humans on many occasions. All of them, even Naki remembered the pain in Naruto's voice as he told them stories of his childhood. And they all remembered the pain in Kyuubi's voice as she told them of the loss of her children, and how she was trapped in Naruto's body. Each of there minds wandered to that night when Kyuubi told her story.

 

Flashback

The entire village sat in front of Kyuubi. It was a full moon that night and for some reason Kyuubi was in pain. Not physical pain but emotional. The village watched as Naruto cradled a crying 10 foot fox in his lap. It was a weird site but no one said a thing, sensing the pain. Naruto sat whispering into Kyuubi's ear, the villagers chose not to listen in with there advanced ears. After a while Kyuubi sat up and Naruto whipped the tears from her eyes with his tail. The whole village watched sadly at the scene. Each person feeling Kyuubi's pain as if it was there own. One of the villagers got up, a little girl, and walked up to Naruto and Kyuubi.

 

“Kyuubi-Chan what's wrong, why were you crying.” The child said with tears streaming down her face. Kyuubi grabbed the child with her tail and held her close.

 

“Today is the anniversary of a very sad day in my life.” Kyuubi said, sadly.

 

“What happened?” the girl said. Kyuubi looked from the girl, to the village, then to Naruto who nodded.

 

Kyuubi pulled the girl closer and choked out, “I'll show you.” Instantly an image began to form in all of the villagers' minds.

 

There was in image of a huge forest, similar to Gaia. It was a sunny day and many sounds could be heard. Birds sung, water rushed, the sound of leafs rustled as predators stalked their prey. It wasn't paradise, just home. And deep inside the forest a fox sat. It stood 10 feet tall, fiery red fur, and nine-tails swinging behind it. The fox was Kyuubi. And around Kyuubi were little baby foxes. They played, yipped, ran, and slept, feeling safe under the watchful eye of their mother. As Kyuubi watched over her young, there was a blinding flash of light and her world started to spin. When Kyuubi came to, she was in an entirely different place.

 

This land was barren and dark. It was a waste land. She took in her surroundings and realized that she had been summoned. She recognized the seals placed around where she sat, the seals were written in human blood, in front of her stood many figures in hooded black robes. One approached her and began to speak.

 

“Kyuubi, we have summoned you and now you will do our bidding. You will destroy our enemies and anyone who stand in our way.”

 

Kyuubi looked down at the humans with a glare. “I have no interest in human matters. I am the great nine tailed fox Kyuubi and I take orders from no one.”

 

The figure in front of her looked up and revealed his face. He had a pale and snake like face with a sadistic smile running across his lips.

 

“Kukukukuku, you should reconsider Kyuubi, if you do not follow my commands you might regret it.”

 

Kyuubi looked down at the man with a smile. “I'm in a good mood so I'll let you live, but if you ever summon me again, I will kill you.” With that said Kyuubi was engulfed in flames and teleported back to her children. The last thing she saw before she teleported was that man's smiling face.

 

Kyuubi teleported close to her original position and began to walk back to her children. As she approached her clearing, the smell of blood invaded her nose. Not just the normal blood she would smell from the death of prey, but human blood and the blood of her kits. Suddenly Kyuubi took of towards the smell, and when she got there she stopped and stared at the scene.

 

If front of her was a battle field. Blood and bodies were everywhere. She slowly walked into the area the recognized the bodies of her children. Little baby foxes were scattered across the area, none alive. They were all covered in blood; most of them had limbs missing. She slowly trotted to the closest kit to her and nudged its small body, there was no response. She then picked it up with her tail as if trying to wake it, but when she let go, it dropped with a small “thump”. Tears began to form in her eyes but were replaced by blinding rage. She finally focused on the many dead human bodies in the area. She checked them all and remembered their scent, but even that wasn't necessary because each had one thing in common, the leaf headband on there foreheads. She had had some encounters with the leaf village but never like this. The only thought in her mind was “revenge.” And without a second thought she grew into her full fox form and made her way towards Konoha where she would destroy much and later be sealed into Naruto's body.

 

She remembered arriving at Konoha and attacking it with ruthless fury. She remembered the many she killed and the satisfying destruction she caused. She remembered the anger she felt in her heart for those humans, those cursed humans. But she also remembered one man, which is the main reason she chose to raise Naruto. She remembered fighting a giant toad with a man on top. The man fought hard to protect the people, and she saw something inside this man, something rare. As they fought, she remembered the look of sadness and defeat on his face, but then a look of determination. He began creating a seal on top of the toads back, but as he made his seal, the man spoke to her.

 

“Kyuubi, I do not know why you attacked us but I can feel that you are in much pain. Even so I cannot allow you to hurt those that I love so I must defeat you, but I ask one favor of you. You are a very powerful and wise being and I know you would not attack us so viciously without reason. Seeing these qualities in you I ask that if Naruto, my child cannot find acceptance, that you raise him and protect him as your own. I am not so blind that I cannot see what kind of future he will have when the villagers find out that you are sealed inside him. That is my final wish.”

 

Kyuubi looked at the man on top of the giant toad and saw into his soul, and she saw something that few humans possessed, goodness. So as the man finished his justu and as her world began to grow dark, she would remember that goodness and fulfill the man's request if she saw the need, but even though she saw the goodness inside that man, her hate for humans would never leave her. And she would spend eight yours mourning her children before she could have the chance to raise another.

 

Back in her clearing, Kyuubi finished her story and that night was filled with remembrance and mourning for her lost children. The villages bond grew, but so did their hate for humans.

 

End Flashback

Tears trickled down the faces of the four demons as they approached Konoha. They had traveled only a few hours but that memory had taken their minds off of time. As they came closer to the village, they wiped there tears away, and tucked away their hate.

 

 

Well that's the end of that chapter

Author notes

Hey I'm back. I know it's been a while but I had some problems. It seems this story was disabled for its content so I had to change some things but at least I'm going to start writing again.
