i dont own naruto. i just love the stories!

He stood on top of the mountain face, looking down at the village. It had recovered well in the three years after the attack. But the scars were still there. He mournfully recalled that dreadful night.

*flashback start*

"Its here! Kyuubi is here! Get all civilians to the shel-" KA-BOOM!

*flashback end*

He shook his head. So many dead, so many lives ruined. Many brave shinobi died to stop Kyuubi. In the end, it had to be sealed. Even now, he could see the baby, only three years old. The hatred for the boy could be felt by a dead man in the deepest pits of Hell, yet none could speak of it. He sighed. At least the Third made the law to prevent the hatred for being spread to the younger generations. In hindsight, this was a move with mixed results. The hatred will still infect the younger folk. He grunted in frustration. Now he will need to help the boy. But helping him meant that the boy would follow the same training that he took. That means finding someone to bring him back. Geez, demons were unpredictable.

In his mind, two shapes appeared of equal size. One was blue, the other green. The green one spoke in the deep voice of a bass "What troubles you so, warrior?"

The man replied "Many things trouble me. I have much responsibility. Many burdens to shoulder."

The blue whispered in a gentle motherly tone "Is it the boy?"

"No. The boy will be fine. It's the thing to hold him back that worries me."

Both shapes shifted. The green asked "What do you mean?"

"The training involving Kyuubi." The green flinched when it realized the problem.

"Yes," said the green "that is a problem." Suddenly, the blue froze, causing both the man and the green to jump

"What is it? Another vision?" the green asked.

"Y-y-y-yes." the blue stammered.

"And?" demanded the green.

"I was given the answer to your problem," the blue spoke "but what do you mean 'the thing to hold him back'?"

"If he is to succeed in the training, someone must be chosen to be the one to prevent him from releasing the seal that Yondaime used," the man explained "When the training is undertaken, the person is often opposite of the trainee."

"Opposite in what?" the blue inquired.

"Almost everything," rumbled the green "Personality, abilities, gender, etc. Now, what was your vision? What did you see?"

"I saw a patch of sunlight and a fox. The fox was loud, proud, strong, and had a large appetite for ramen. I assume this is the boy, correct?" the blue described. The man nodded. "The patch of sunlight was quiet, shy, and doubtful, but had a strong liking for the fox."

"Well," said the man "that is interesting, but before we continue, could you please take a shape? I can't see where your eyes are and I would hate to be looking at something else"

Both shapes began to take form. Both were serpentine with legs, 2 mighty wings spread from their backs, a whip-like tail appearing behind the hind legs. The green formed a muscular chest and neck before connecting to a hydra-like head with spikes covering the head/neck connection. The blue was thin, but had the grace of a flying bird with the power to remove a mountain from its roots. The head was spiked but less prominently than the green, with softer ridges than the greens. The green was male, the blue female. Their names were Terrafirma and Chronos.

Chronos stretched and curled up cat-like, blinking her sapphire eyes at the man slowly "Better?" she asked.

"Much." A chair appeared behind the man and he sat down facing the two majestic beasts. "Please continue. The fox part I understand but the sunlight is confusing."

"Well then, the sunlight shifted and took on a feminine form, with long black hair with blue hues, and the eyes…"

"The eyes?" questioned Terrafirma.

"Her eyes were as captivating as…well, I'm not sure." Chronos sighed, "They drew my eyes slowly and they were naturally captivating."

"Anything else?" the man asked.

"She also had a kekkei genkai," finished Chronos

"Well that narrows down the field," muttered the man.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

The man jolted out of his mind state to see half a dozen jounin standing in a circle around him. He glanced quickly at the faces of the jounin. 'Shit, ANBU Black Ops' thought the man. He shrugged.

"Nothing from what I can tell. Is there a problem?"

"You have no head band. Who are you and what is your name?"

"I am a man with absolutely no reason to answer you but will and my name is…not important."

"That's it! Arrest him!" yelled the shortest ANBU.

"Now I have no intention of getting arrested," replied the man. He released a small amount of killing intent as he stood up.

The men backed off a few feet. Whoever or whatever this man was, he was strong and not to be taken lightly.

"And now I say to you 'Adieu'," the man bowed in a flourish and suddenly vanished.

The ANBU stood in shock 30 seconds as realization sunk in. None of them had seen the man perform hand seals and his eyes did not change at all. Who, or what, was that man?

High above the squad, the man laughed quietly. None of them knew that he had jumped to his airship waiting high above.

"Soon, Naruto, soon your training will be passed on to me," he murmured as he revved the engines to full power and shot towards the mountains "In the mean time, I look forward to your growth till then."

Nine years later

The man sat at the edge of the roof, watching the first rounds of the third test of the chuunin exam. As he watched, Terrafirma and Chronos appeared in his mind, watching through his eyes.

"The boy, Naruto, when is his match? I grow weary of watching these pathetic weaklings," growled Terrafirma.

"Patience, Terrafirma, patience," soothed the man "his match is starting right now."

The dragons grew quiet, mainly to hear what was happening.

As they watched, Naruto fell under the devastating barrage of Neji's 8 trigrams 64 palms. "Well, he is done fighting for now. Let's go," spoke Terrafirma and he vanished.

"What is he doing?" asked Chronos.

"He is getting back up," replied the man and as he spoke, Neji asked Naruto a question.

"It is pointless to get back up. Why keep fighting? Answer me, Naruto!"

The man grew silent. Chronos even paused to hear Naruto's answer.

"Because someone called me a failure," replied Naruto between breaths "RRRAAAAAAAGH!"

The man chuckled as Chronos jumped and started to clean her claws to calm herself. "Well, I never thought I would see the day when the very creature whose speed is said to rival the power of time was scared of the kid that had Kyuubi in his belly button."

"Shut up or I'll fully appear and lick you," she growled menacingly. A dragon's tongue was barbed and could skin a full grown deer in one swipe.

They continued to watch as the clash drew to a close.

"Well, that was entertaining."

"The fight or my scare?"

"The fight. Naruto has a power that his father had…" He stopped and stared into the crowd.

"What? What?" Chronos appeared on his shoulder and failed to follow his line of sight. "Wha'cha see? Girl flash ya?"

The man laughed and playfully punched her, not hard enough to harm her but just enough to knock her off balance. "Girl, yes. Flashing, no. I found our keeper for Naruto."

"Really? Where?"

"Currently knocked out and healing from the preliminaries. Now, I suggest that we get as far from the arena as possible."

"Why? Afraid of gennin now?"

"No, just no desire to watch the battle for the village."

Chronos got the hint and grew so that he could sit on her for the flight. His previous method of flight was currently sitting at the bottom of the ocean. He ticked off the leader of a large army. They had blimps and really good aim.

Flying away, they passed two shinobi, who were on their way to the arena for the exams. Neither saw the dragon and her rider, for they flew up above the clouds and hid their chakra.

They would not return for some time.

Many things would change in that time.
