Well hello there again my few readers. Again I'm sorry for taking so long on writing this chapter. I've been pretty busy lately, but I've decided to just show you what i've written so far. Its not much, but i hope it will hold you guys over for a while. I'll try to finish up the chapter as soon as i can. Also i decide to combine the first two together seeing as people stop reading my story after those two.

Remember I don't own Naruto or Soul Caliber. Enjoy

The cold nights were the worst. Every time the sun would set the temperature would follow right behind it. With a worn out jacket and scarf being the only things shielding him from the cold, Naruto was stuck in his own personal Winter Wonder hell. As his arms rubbed his shoulders roughly determined to get even the slightest bit of warmth, he made his best attempts to sleep.

Trying all he could to ignore his surroundings. The random noises that made their way into his ear. The dark shadows hiding anything that could want him for a late night snack. The sad crescent moon bearing down on him, showing him that misery really does love company.

He ate what ever he could find, which of course meant either it was already dead or that it had more than four legs. At this very moment one of the things that he had just eaten over two hours ago, was currently trying to crawl its way up his throat.

One more hour and forty sneezes later, the six year old had finally had it. He felt a horrible uneasiness as he walked over to one part of the forest he completely hated. Usually after waking up in the middle of basically nowhere, curiosity gets the better of you and you start looking around.

A few days after burying the first dead guy in front of him, he had found another.

He was starting to see a pattern.

But he didn't bury this one or even touch it. The body was a little decomposed and had been picked at by random animals at the forest. But...his clothes were in pretty good condition, minus the big hole in the chest and the missing sleeve.

Naruto stood over the dead body, trying to keep his dinner from crawling out. Just as he was going to reach over an touch it, a rat pocked its little head out from the bleeding chest and upon seeing Naruto, quickly ran off. With that sight embedded in his head forever Naruto abruptly backed away and turned to walk off. After a few feet away from the body, the child was ambushed by a freezing cold breeze. With the feeling of hypothermia starting to set in, Naruto turned back to the body.

The following morning, our little grave digger woke up snuggling a fairly warm jacket.
