"TRATORS!" yelled Naruto as he fell down a chasm. Naruto was pissed, he had just finished his mission to bring Sasuke back to Konoha like he promised Sakura, but instead of a hero's welcome he got a surprise. Tired and losing blood he had carried Sasuke back, and for what? A quick death for the demon brat. He remebered the crowed that was waiting at the gates and Sakura's reaction to the sight of her teammates, no, her Sasuke.

-Start FlashBack-

"Naruto! You did it your brought Sasuke-" She had started before she saw Naruto's and Sasuke's mangled bodies. "-What have you done to Sasuke Demon?"

"What do you mean-" *Smack* Naruto was cut of when Sakura slapped his. Naruto coughed up blood and truned his head to face Sakura eye to eye. "Sakura, Why?"

"I asked you to bring back Sasuke, not beat him up and try to kill him!" Naruto recoiled from her voice. "I hate you Naruto! You are nothing more than a demon!" Naruto was about to reply when several ANBU and medical nin came up. In seconds Sasuke as taken by the medical nin and Naruto was tried in ninja wire. He cried out when one of the ANBU kicked him, hitting his still healing chest where Sasuke's chidori pierced him.

He fell to the ground with a gasp. "Get up scum." Said the one that had a bear shaped mask that all ANBU were. Naruto looked at them and gave them a "what the fuck" look. "I said get up!" The ANBU shouted at Naruto before raising a foot and slamming it onto Naruto's right leg. CRUNCH

"AAH!" Naruto screamed as he felt his bones in his lower leg broke. 'What is going on with everybody? Why are they attacking me?' He thought as another ANBU grabbed him by the hair and hauled him up. This one had a cat mask with three red stripes. One vertical and two horizontal.

"Let's go, the council and the fifth kage wants to see you"

'Why' Naruto asked himself as the walls speed by. If one saw Naruto before the mission to get Sasuke one would have seen a blond hair, blue eyed boy. A boy that was short for his age, 11 years old and 4.37 feet tall. Malnourished and mistreated. The host to the nine tailed fox.

-FlashBack-

Naruto looked towards the gates. Several ANBU ninja were standing around, with a large part of the village ninja force on the ground, out cold. Several of the citizens looked like they weren't aware what was happening, a few were on the ground as well. Naruto's blood ran cold when he saw Teuchi and his daugter, Ayame, on the ground as well.

Naruto quickly saw that they were under a genjutsu, but that made him afraid. Something was wrong and as the group got closer he saw signs of a fight. But why was there signs? Unless someone had betrayed the village but who?

-EndFlashBack-

Now he was covered in blood. His skin, what remained of it, was purple and black from all the bruses he had. Most of his skin was cut off or torn off leaving only muscle. His hair was burned to the scalp and only a few patches remained. His arms and legs were broken, and he had a open scar where he was hit. He had a black eye for his left and right eye lid was torn off. He also was now the former host to the nine tailed fox. 'Why did they lie to me about everything? Why wasn't it enough to denied me the right to exist?'

Naruto's body landed in water and as he sunk into the deep he saw the last of the sun being blocked by blood before he knew no more. If his eye remained open for even a second he would have seen a shadow come over him. A hand reached into the water and grabbed him.

"What happened to you boy?" Murmmered the man as he looked over the boys many injuries. Frowning, he lifted Naruto up, careful not to hurt the boy anymore then the boy was. However, was he lifted Naruto, he could tell the boy had little time left before death came to claim. He turned around and gave a quick start at the sight of an Dark cloaked figure.

The cloaked grunted and the man sighed. He knew that it was the best greeting he was going to get. After all, the person was not much of an conversationalist. He was usually dead silent but at times he was talkative.

"The boy...he is almost dead... Let me do my job and reap his soul... it will ease his suffering..." Spoke the figure slowly and at a quiet tone. The man shook his head. "Why not? It is my duty and my right. You know this better than anyone so why do you stop me?"

"Because this boy has much to live for. He has spent most of his life without a true home and family to call his own. Because I wish for him to have a second chance of life. Because of the fact that he was betrayed by those he swore to protect. Tell me is that not enough for him?"

The figure reached up and pulled back his hood. An aged face with many lines stared at the man and boy. Brown eyes that were dark by one that had seen much and knows that there is much more to see. His hair was dark with streaks of gray and white. In all he looked like he was about 65, but both of them knew he was far older than that.

"Thats not enough. You know that the master has tasked me with this job and I will carry out my duty. Even you cannot stop me. Now, you can either do this the easy way or the hard way."

The Figure's right hand shot out from the confineds of his sleeve and shadows gathered around it. In seconds a weapon formed from the darkness. It was a beatiful in its form. It was a sythe; black metal was predomiate thoughout it but the blade its self was gray with a sliver trim. The figure spun his weapon and looked at the man. "What say you?"

The man gently placed Naruto down to the side. Standing tall he spoke up with his backed turned. "So, you think you can challange me to a fight and think you can win? Foolish brat." The air suddendly became heavily as a sword formed in his hands.

Both rised their respective weapons and were about to charge at each other before both of them froze when a gust of wind carrying a soft breeze brush agasint their skin. Both of their eyes widened before the figure's eyes widen.

"...Fine..." He spoke slowly with an sound of defeat to his voice. Both of them had their weapons dissappear and he nodded towards Naruto. "What are you going to do with him? He has lost too much blood-"

"I will give him some of mine."

"-ARE YOU NUTS!? He is a human and I thought you more than anyone wouldn't do something like that after those years so long ago. It has been forbidden."

"I know."

"Then why... don't answer me. I don't want to know anymore. Now if you do not mind, I'm going back to work. See you later."

"Later."

The figure left and the man once more stood over Naruto. Sighing, he picks him up and starts off once more. 'What am I to do with you boy?' He thought as both dissappeared like they never were there.

After they left all was as it was before Naruto fell expect for the blood trails and foot prints. A minute,then another passed till a hour went by. Then several lights shone in the darkness. "Over here," shouted one, "I've found something!"

The group surrounded the one who shouted. "What did you find, Kakashi?"

Kakashi spoke in anger, "There's blood all around here, but theres no body. the demon must have survied the fall and dragged himself ashore. But here the trail stops."

"Hiashi, use your byakugan and try to find it."

Hiashi nodded and activated his dojutsu. "Byakugan." He looked as far as his ability allowed. "Nothing, it is as if he dissappeared from reality."

"The Hokage is not't going to like hearing this"

'Where am I?' Thought Naruto as he looked around with blurry eyes. He was in a bed unlike any other. It was soft yet firm and Naruto could feel that it was by far the best bed he will ever be in his life. A simple sheet covered his body and as Naruto sat up it fell away, showing his body covered in bandages.

"Your up." Naruto turned towards the voice. A man sat next to a window looking out. It was nighttime and Naruto opened his mouth to speak, but the man spoke up first. "Its late, you should go back to sleep."

Naruto tried to speak but a sudden wave of dizziness washed over him. Lying back down he quickly fell asleep. The man smiled and stood up. Walking towards Naruto he checked that he was really asleep. He then changed and cleaned the boys bandages. Grasping a chart next to the bed, he quickly wrote down something.

Setting it down, he quietly stepped out into the hallway. Upon closing the door he went down the hall towards the study where he heard several voices talking. He tapped on the door trice and opened it. Inside was several figures, two females and a male. The man spoke up first. "Ah, brother, how is our guest?"

"Fine, he tried to get up a little while ago but I put him to sleep."

"Ah, good. I hope that his near death exprence is not't too damaging and he lives."

"Hm" The two stare at each other. "I must be off, I have several more people to see tonight and I mustn't be late. I will be seeing you soon brother. Ladies." He tipped his head and headed out the door. The women and the man remaining looked at each other.

"Thank you for taking care of my son," said one of the women.

The other woman spoke, "If I may so inquire-"

"You may"

"-Why did you do so? I mean, out of several hundreds of peaople why did you save him?"

"That anwser is a long and complex. I did it because he needs some one to be a part of his life that cares for him, not trying to be rude my dear." "None taken." "But because that he needs to be part of something without being judged and no child should have to go though what he did."

The man stopped and looked at the clock. "Dear me is that the time? I sory my dears, I didn't mean to keep you here for so long."

"Thats alright, Jupiter and Neptune are fighting right now and I need a break from all the insanity. Well, we must be off. Thank you again."

"Your very welcome." The women stood up and gave the man short nods and dissappear in flashes of light. The man sighs and leaves the study. He goes down the hall towards the room where Naruto is resting. Walking towards him he stands looking down. Taking his hand, he carefully moves the sheet to cover the boy better. He then brushes Narutos hair back before exiting the room.

He then walks towards door; grabs his keys and coat, and leaves. After locking the door he looks up towards the night sky. Forming a small smile, he starts to walk to the nearby park for some fresh air. As he goes he sees the sights of the city and its lights. A drunk swadded back and forth down the sidewalk in front of him before collasping. Frowning when seeing the drunk was in the street, the man lifts him up and places him next to a street light before moving on.

The park was dark and emtpy when he arrived. The hour was still late, about 2 o'clock in the morning. A kitten was shivering by a large tree and the man came over.

"Hey there little one," he spoke softly not to scare the poor thing, "why you out here all alone?" The man then spotted the kittens mother, dead. Frowning, he picked the kitten up and took a closer look at the kitten. It was an orange kitten with red stripes that seem to him a fire pattern. He could also tell it was only a few weeks old. He didn't see a collar on either of the cats, but by the looksof their bodies they were most likely strays.

"Hey, you want to come with me? I think a young boy would enjoy having a pet and partner right now."

"Meow"

"Alright then lets go then."

"Sir, we were unable to find the body. It seems that someone took the demon's body away and we are unable to find the path they took." A man said as he and the rest of the seach party bowed towards the desk of the kage. They were frustrated, after all they were all high level ninja and yet they could not find a dead body or a dieing one. A man covered in shadows spoke up, his tone fullof malice and anger.

"Find him. If word comes out about his death is reached by Iwa or Kuno... Well you all will be on the front lines. Suna wouldn't try to betray us do to their failed coup. And all the minor nations where he went shouldn't know. After all, they will lead us to far greater heights after we take over them." The group shudders at the shadow mans words.

"Understood, Lord Hokage." The group left and close the doors behind them. As the light cast by the hallway fell acrose his face, one could see an evil smile.
