A/N: I know that I made the army of Konoha about 4, 500 ninja and that they lost a lot in the previous war. Most of you won't believe that Konoha has that many ninja or even that large of a village. I know even I believe that their population is low when looking at the anime and stuff. However I did a lot of thinking about it and here are my reasons.

1. Konoha is one of the five largest shinobi villages in the Naruto world, most likely the biggest.

2. Look at some of the latest episodes of Shippuden, specifically episode 55 right in the beginning. The starting of the episode shows Konoha from a high view point. You can see the large faces' of the Hokage and compare it to the size of the buildings that can be seen over the LARGE trees of Konoha. Also take a good look at the view; you can't even see the wall that is supposed to surround Konoha.

3. They have been through 3 shinobi wars which most likely caused baby booms like any big war (why most of your parents were born)

4. They are most likely allowed to live in Fire country because the daimyo need a military service, causing the majority of the population to join the academy and become a shinobi, especially during times of war.

5. Because they have to work for the Daimyo and also other countries they'd have to spread a large portion of their forces across the nation.

The only reason why we don't see this in the anime that much is because they have had almost 16 years of relative peace between the 5 great nations and allied countries, so there wasn't a need for many people to join the military. This allowed for more shops and businesses to pop up and take up most of the background. And the reason why you don't see them in the streets that much is because they are ninja; they are supposed to be hiding. These reasons are also why losing 500 soldiers in a battle was so disastrous, because the army gathered to face the Kyubi was probably about 2500 ninja (the other 2500 out on missions or were genin) and losing 1/5 of the soldiers in a battle would probably mean there are issues with skill. I'm telling you all this because there is no way I could wrap your mind around this with my story because you would believe that I'm just making it sound big to go along with my story. I just wanted to relate it to the actual story, to try and make you think about how good Kishi is at telling us everything but at the same time nothing. That and I don't want something I thought about for a while to go unnoticed :P

Oh all my OCs are going to be important at some point in my story. I just showed the majority of them in the last chapter so that you could get a little background on them. I will re-introduce them later on slowly so that it won't be that hard to remember their names. I just thought it would be nice for when you read the later chapters and you notice one of the OC you will be think, "Ohhhhhh that's right, I remember him", or something along those lines.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, but neither does Bill Gates so I can live with it for now.

Chapter 3: Happy Birthday

(In an abandoned underground part of Konoha)

"Have you been keeping track of it?" Danzo said sitting behind a desk looking through papers.

"Of course Danzo-sama. The demon has not left our sight since we got him kicked out of the orphanage." A man dressed in ANBU gear said.

"And the Hokage?" Danzo questioned.

"Is swamped with paperwork to last till the New Year, and has no knowledge of the beast's present living conditions."

"Excellent." Danzo said with a small smile."Make sure it stays that way till the celebration."

"Hai Danzo-sama." the man said and bowed. He then did a quick seal and disappeared from the room.

(Streets of Konoha)

Naruto was almost 3 years old now and alone. His clothing was intact, although messy, because he had gotten them from a dumpster when his previous cloths became torn. Right now, he was walking in the part of town that was considered the red light district, but he didn't know what that was. The only reason why he was in this part of town was, because there weren't as many people looking at him with hate. Yes there were still people looking at him every now and then, but the majority of them were looking through the windows, signs, women, were too drunk to even notice, or a combination of all.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

His stomach was grumbling and he put two hands over it to quiet it down. Not eating since yesterday morning can do that to you. It was the afternoon now, and his little scrawny legs were carrying him around town to try, and find food. Walking for a couple of minutes, he noticed something shiny on the ground. Quickly he ran to the object, and crouched down to get a better look. It was a 100 ryo coin. Not like he could read the number, but he had seen people put them into machines and get food before. He picked up the coin and began to analyse it in fascination and a slight bit of hope.

Naruto was still crouched down on the street where he found the coin, which was in front of a bookstore's door. The door to said store opened, and out came a happy customer, who's one eye was entranced on the book's orange cover. Its gold outline and holographic cover suggested that it was special. "It costed me this month's salary, but the extra chapter and full coloured pictures for Icha Icha: Mother Daughter Love, is worth every penny." the silver haired man said.

Unfortunately his mind was too preoccupied to notice the yellow blob that was in front of him. He walked right into it and tripped, hitting the floor face first. "Argh, what the hell did I hit?" the masked man thought as he propped his upper body with his left hand and rubbed his head with his right hand. "Wait! Where's my book?" he thought while looking at his now empty right hand.

He looked in front of him in hope of finding his book. Seeing his book lying open, halfway submerged, in a puddle caused an imaginary bolt of lightning to appear through his chest.

A heavy wooden cart came and two of its wheels ran over the book breaking its spine. "Cabbages, get your Cabbages." the cart owner advertised, as two more bolts went through the broken man's chest.

A man with a hatai-ate on his forehead, a thin beard from his side-burns to his goatee, and a cigarette in his mouth, walked towards the shop, stepping on the book when passing it. One more bolt went through the shocked man's chest.

"No smoking? Damn." the goatee man said looking at the sign on the door. He then took out his cigarette and tossed it over his shoulder. The cigarette flew in the air and landed on the broken book, setting it aflame. The man on the ground watched as his precious book burned and a single tear ran down his face, because the other one was covered.

"Why? What did I ever do to disserve this?" the man mentally questioned. A dog then walked up to the burning book, sniffed it, and then peed on the book, putting out the fire. The man sobbing became a lightning bolt pincushion after that.

Naruto, during all this time, was rubbing his head trying not to cry because he'd usually get hit harder when he did. Noticing the distracted man who was looking at some stepped on book, he decided to use this opportunity to take his prize, and get out of there. When the dog came to pee on the book, Naruto had almost rounded the corner, but not before the man on the floor noticed him.

"You god damn demon! Why would you do such a horrible thing to me!" the Cyclops screamed, while what could be seen of his head turned an angry red. He then shook himself out of his trauma and began to chase the boy. The man ran into the street, the child went into, and could not see him anywhere. That didn't matter to him though as he was so infuriated he didn't stop to think, and ran down the street in hope of finding his target.

Naruto popped his head out of a garbage can, that was just at the entrance of the street, when he heard the sound of running disappear. He got out of the trashcan and dust himself off, luckily the can was empty at the time. He began his trek in the opposite direction, hoping to get as far away from that man as possible.

He kept on walking, even walking out of the red light district, until he saw a vending machine outside a market shop. Quickly, he ran to the machine, in hopes of satisfying his grumbling stomach. Naruto popped in the coin and waited for food to come out. A minute goes by, and he gets impatient looking through the glass at the junk food treasure chest.

He starts smashing his fists on the buttons, but stops when he heard some mechanical noises. Watching through the glass now, he saw a chocolate bar slowly come forward as the metal spring started to rotate. The bar was nearing the end of the tray and when there was nothing else to give it support it fell, but then got stuck in the spring and refused to come down.

"You stupid thing! Give my food!" Naruto yelled. He started whacking and kicking the machine in hopes the bar would fall down. The beating to the machine caused a lot of noise that caught someone's ear.

"Hey brat! Keep it down! I'm trying to drink my tea in peace." a woman with purple hair tied up at the back into a spiky ponytail shouted, from a tea shop patio next door.

"This stupid thing won't give me food when I give it my shiny thing." Naruto reasoned crossing his arms and putting on a pout. The woman got out of her chair and walked towards Naruto. She put both hands on her hips and examined Naruto from head to toe. Looking at the machine now, she noticed the hanging chocolate bar. Closing her eyes, she relaxed her face as she sighed.

"Ok brat, I'll help you out this one time, but don't tell anyone I did this. Okay?" The woman said. Naruto nodded vigorously. The woman then stuck her arm in the bottom opening of the machine.

She then whispered to herself, "Sen'eijashu." A single snake came out of her sleeve, went into the machine, and she took her arm out. The snake was now trapped in the machine and looked at its master through the glass. Watching her point to a chocolate bar two feet above his head he understood, and slithered up the racks to the bar knocking it down. With his job complete the Snake disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

Naruto's face lit up, and he stuck his arm inside the machine, retrieving the delicious treat. He held it in his hands, almost not believing it was really there. "Well aren't you going to say thank you?" the woman asked.

Naruto looked at the lady to his left and questioned, "What's a thank you?"

"You don't know what arigato means?" the woman questioned, and Naruto shook his head. "It's something you say to someone when they do something good for you or be nice to you. It's to tell them you like what they did for you." the snake summoner said, dumbing down her words so the child could understand.

Naruto looked back at the chocolate bar for a few seconds and then back up at the woman with a big smile. "Arigato nee-chan."

"Nee-chan? I've never been called nee-chan like that before... I kind of like the sound of it." the woman said with a smile. She was taken out of her happy musing when she noticed the boy's shadow. Quickly she looked up at the sky and noticed the sun had moved considerably. "Shit!" the woman exclaimed, then looked back at Naruto. "Sorry kid but I have to go. Enjoy the chocolate bar." She ruffled Naruto's hair and leapt off.

Naruto waved to the retreating image of the woman until she was out of sight. He tried opening the wrapper with his hands, but gave up and bit on the end till the chocolate bar was free. The bar was devoured in less than 10 sec, giving something to fill up his bottomless pit. He then looked up at the sky, and noticed that it would get dark soon, with a scared expression on his face. He didn't like staying out at night, that's when the people who beat him usually come out. He then quickly decided to go back to the red light district and find the alley that he took shelter in. He ran as fast as he could, and got there a little under one hour.

The dead end alley he was in was surrounded by unused buildings, so no one really came to this part of the city. There was a broken window that led to the basement of one of the buildings. He had fallen down there one day, and set up a staircase of boxes to get out the same way. Quickly, he went into the basement of that building, and walked to a couple of boxes that had some ragged cloth covering them. He had found them being throw out by people one day, and brought them here to make a comfy bed. Yawning he went under the thin sheet, but thanks to Konoha's generally warm weather, he wasn't cold.

Hours later. (I think this is the part where I earn my rated M)

It was now 3 a.m. and Naruto woke up to the sound of a door being forcibly opened. Slapping himself lightly a couple of times, to wake himself up, he was able to register that the sound came from the floor above him, and that there was still a lot of noise going on there. Slowly he got out from his sheets and carefully made his way towards the stairs to find out what was going on. The noises started to get louder and more frequent as he made his way up the stairs. He pushed the door open slightly and stuck his head out a little to see what was going on.

Two men with black hair were pulling a woman wearing a yukata inside the building against her will. "Please! Don't do this! Why are you doing this to me!?" the woman screamed, while kicking and wiggling to try and break free.

"A woman as fine as you, should always be shown a good time in Konoha. Especially when you are new in town." the man said as he licked her face, causing the woman to shiver. The two men then began to grope her and undo the bow holding her yukata closed.

"No! Stop it please! I don't want this! I don't want this!" the woman cried out as tears began to roll down her face.

"Oh come on. If you don't, and keep on fighting it, then you'll never get wet down here." The man said as he rubbed his hand over the woman's private area, through her undergarments.

"Stop this! This isn't right! I'll tell the police, and they'll put you in jail!" the woman yelled.

The two men then began to laugh. "You don't get it do you... We are the police." the man said, as both men's eyes turned red with two tomoe in them. The man then pulled out his erect three inched penis and shoved it to the woman's face. The woman closed her mouth, denying entry. "Oh come on now. I don't think you'll like it if I force it in. Why not be a good girl an.."

"Leave her alone!" Naruto interrupted. The two men stopped what they were doing to look at the source of the noise, only to find a little kid.

"How much did you see?" one of the men demanded.

"It doesn't matter now. Just seeing this is enough." the other man said.

They both release the woman from their grasp, and ran to Naruto as fast as they could. Quickly Naruto pulled the door closed. He then took the broken piece of wood that was once supposed to steady people walking down the stairs, and jammed it through the opening of the door handle and frame. Naruto then made his way down the stairs, as the men began to struggle with opening the door.

"Stand back." one of the men announced and went through a set of hand seals. "Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu!" the man said. A moment later, a fireball escaped from his mouth and shattered the door, causing parts of the building to start burning. The two men ran down the stairs into the basement and watched as Naruto was making his way up a staircase of boxes. Not thinking clearly, they both rushed to him trying to catch him, but when he made it through the small window, they were too big to fit through it. The woman had already made her way out when the two men came back up the first floor. They rushed out the door and could see with their increased vision a blond boy running down the street.

The woman watched as the two men ran after her savoir. She ran as fast as she could to the Hokage tower to report what happened. If she were to ever see the boy again she promised she would do something to show her thanks.

6 hours later.

"hah hah hah." Naruto breathed in deeply to try and get his breath back. "They... don't.. like.. to... stop... but they're.. gone now." Naruto said still bent over with his hands on his knees, so he could take in air. He fell, with a sigh, on the ground. The two men hadn't stop chasing him until he made it out of Konoha's walls, and into the forest. He was so tired, he decided to rest here.

(Hyuuga Hiashi's office)

7 am (3 hours in the past)

"Are you positive of this information Genrou-sama?" Hiashi questioned the only other person in the room.

"Of course. It comes from one of the spies we have in his division." Genrou stated.

"Then he is breaking the agreement we had originally set up. Well it's meaningless now. We too were just using them to fulfill our desires." Hiashi stated.

"What are you going to do about this Hiashi-sama? We cannot just let this happen." the elder asked.

"Rest assured that I will not let such a thing happen. We have worked and waited too long for this chance to let it slip from our hands now." Hiashi affirmed.

"Then what shall you we do? Whatever you need to complete the task, I give you my full support." Genrou said.

"Arigato, Genrou-sama but it is not needed. I have a plan to intercept this dilemma." Hiashi said with a calm tone.

"I trust your leadership and know you will not disappoint us." Genrou said with a bow.

"Arigato, Genrou-sama. Your faith in me is not mislead, and I will make sure to keep it that way." Hiashi stated.

Genrou nodded and put his hand in a seal to disarm the sound proofing jutsu. The two men then walked out of the room. Hiashi waited by the door as Genrou made his way out of the house. "Hizashi where is Hitomi at this hour?" Hiashi questioned his brother who was guarding the door to the office while he was inside.

"She is cooking something in the kitchen in preparation for the picnic she is having, with your daughters, this morning." Hizashi stated calmly.

"Thank you Hizashi. I do not think I will need you're services today. Please go home and spend the day with your son." Hiashi said.

Hizashi went down on one knee, with his head down, and one arm on his knee. "Arigato Hiashi-sama, but if you require my services at any time, you need only ask." Hizashi said to his brother.

"I'll take note of that." Hiashi said. Hizashi nodded his head and made his way towards his home.

Following the scent of cooking food, Hiashi made his way to the kitchen. He was just wandering around the complex because he had nothing to do for the time being. It was too early for any meetings, and he didn't feel like doing paper work at the moment.

"Otto-sama, why are you here?" Hitomi asked as her husband came into the kitchen. Hiashi looked around the room and noticed the bento being filled on the counter, and smelled some sort of broth that was cooking in a pot.

"I was having a small stroll and this just happened to be one of the places in my path." Hiashi said.

"Oh... well I've been cooking for a while now. Is there anything you would like to eat?" Hitomi questioned.

Hiashi shook his head, "No, that is fine. I don..."

"Ding!" went the egg timer that was over the stove.

"Oh, they're finished." Hitomi said as she walked to the stove, opened it and took out a batch of cookies. They were all in cute shapes because she knew her daughter would like it that way.

"I have been informed that you will be going on a picnic today with Hinata and Hanabi." Hiashi said calmly.

"Yes I am. If you are not too busy, you are welcomed to come as well." Hitomi offered.

"My schedule will be quite full within an hour. I'm afraid I cannot join you." Hiashi stated.

"I understand." Hitomi said disheartedly. She really wanted him to spend more time with the children.

"Well then, I'll leave you to your preparations. I hope you all enjoy yourselves." Hiashi said as he made his way out the kitchen.

"Thank you Hiashi-sama." Hitomi said with a slight bow. While she was bowing she noticed Hiashi take one of the cookies she had made on his way out. "Why did he take a cookie? He normally doesn't eat sweat things." Hitomi thought.

Hiashi continued on his way to the sleeping courters. He was walking towards his bed room when one of the doors in the hallway opened and out came his daughter.

"O-o-otou-san... Ohayo gozaimasu." Hinata said while bowing to the clan head.

Hiashi examined his shy daughter from head to toe. She was wearing a yukata that was Blue at the top and blended the way down to the white bottom. It was covered in white snowflakes which were lined with shimmering thread, which made them look like they were drawn in pure silver. The sleeves were long, going a little past her wrist, and the obi (sash around the waist) was a deep indigo, the same colour as her hair, tied in a bow on her back.

Her hair was short but framed her face, not as long as her mother's did though. It was even held together by lavender ribbons the same way her mother did. She didn't have the headband that covered the forehead like her mother because she was from the main branch and was supposed to show that above her brow was clear.

"I've seen that somewhere before..." Hiashi said to himself looking at the yukata and started to think in his head.

"I-it was one of k-k-kaa-san's older ones. She m-made it for me." Hinata answered her father's unasked question.

"Well you look like a grow woman should be." Hiashi tried to compliment. "I hope you have a nice time with your mother."

"A-a-arigato otou-san." Hinata thanked.

Hiashi nodded and began to make his way to the bedroom, popping the small cookie in his mouth.

Hinata stared at her father going down the hall, until she snapped herself out, and remembered why she left her room in the first place. Walking as fast as her legs could take her, she made it to the Kitchen.

Hitomi was placing two warm bowls into a special container, when she noticed her daughter coming into the kitchen. "Are you ready to go soon sunshine?" Hitomi asked.

"H-h-hai kaa-san." Hinata replied with a hand to her mouth.

She knew her daughter was shy but that was normal for kids her age. The stuttering seemed to happen less frequently then when she first began to talk regularly, but whenever she talk to her father it was as if it never changed. She could notice when her daughter had just spoken to her father because she would always stutter for a bit before calming down and speaking normally.

Hitomi smiled warmly at her daughter and Hinata visibly relaxed, lowering her hand from her face. "Alright, just wait here while I go get Hanabi." Hitomi said and Hinata nodded. Hitomi then walked up to her daughter, bent down, and gave her a peck on the cheek.

"You look so cute in your yukata Hinata." Hitomi complimented receiving the cute pink blush from her daughter that she loved. "Well there are some advantages to having a shy daughter. She just looks so cute when she blushes."

"Arigato kaa-san." Hinata whispered to her mother's retreating form.

A few minutes later, Hitomi came back to the kitchen with Hanabi sleeping in a sling in front of her, and was carrying two backpacks in her hands. She then walked over to the prepared food on the counter, and put the containers and her bento box inside the large backpack. The toddler backpack that was in the shape of a panda's head was used to carry the smaller bento box.

Putting on their respective packs, they began to make their way to the front door, but were halted by a single woman who seemed to refuse to move. "Kimyou-san, would you please move out of the way? We wish to go out on a picnic today, and it just isn't as fun if you have it in the hallway." Hitomi asked.

Kimyou stared at Hitomi with a slight glare and both hands on her hips. "Hitomi-sama, does Hiashi-sama know you are taking his two daughters off the premises?" Kimyou questioned.

"I don't know? Does he?" Hitomi quizzed looking at her eldest daughter. Hinata looked up at her mother and nodded, and then grabbed a part of her mother's yukata and stood behind her slightly on the right side. "Well there you go. Now may you please continue on with your duties and step aside?" Hitomi politely asked.

Kimyou's mouth became a frown and she continued to question, "And who will be guarding you on this little outing?"

"You know that whoever comes with me will just get in my way if there is an attacker." Hitomi declared. Hitomi then began to concentrate chakra to her left hand and foot. She lifted up her left hand and made a swiping motion to the left. Kimyou made an intercepting motion with her right hand and particles of energy could be seen in the air.

"Your petty tricks don't work on me Hitowhaaaa!" Kimyou exclaimed as her left foot involuntarily moved behind her to the right, as if she was a door swinging open. She looked down at her foot and then noticed Hitomi's now outstretched left foot, parallel to hers.

"Thank you for moving out of the way Kimyou-san. You are always a prime example of how a lady should act." Hitomi complimented with a tone that sounded genuine, but was lined with sarcasm. Hitomi then cut of the chakra to her left foot, grabbed Hinata's hand that was gripped to her yukata and lead her out the Hyuuga compound.

A few minutes later.

"Kaa-san, does Kimyou-san not like you?" Hinata asked as they were walking hand in hand down the streets of Konoha.

"I don't believe she does." Hitomi confirmed with a pleasant voice.

"Why?" Hinata inquired.

Hitomi thought for a moment then answered, "Because she wanted to be the mother of amazing children."

"Who?" Hinata questioned.

"You and Hanabi of course." Hitomi said with a smile.

"But you're my mommy. How could she be my mommy?" Hinata quizzed.

"Well it's a little more complicated than that. I'll tell you when you're older, ok?" Hitomi said.

Hinata stopped her questioning at that and would wait for her mother to tell her. They continued to walk down the street and once again Hinata was looking at the interactions of her mother and the people they passed. They all seemed to know her and were all happy to see her. "Kaa-san is amazing. Everyone loves her. I wish I could be like that." Hinata thought with a bit of pride for her mother.

They continued walking through the streets, making their way passed the east gate, and all the way to the training fields. They walked all the way to training ground 7 were the memorial stone was. Hinata tugged on her mother's cloths to get her attention. "What is it dear?" Hitomi asked.

"Why are we here kaa-san?" Hinata asked.

"I wanted to see some friends before it got busy here." Hitomi answered with a voice a little higher than a whisper and a look on her face that showed she was reminiscing about something.

"Where are they? Are they coming?" Hinata wondered.

Hitomi shook her head, "They're not with us anymore. They passed on." Hinata tilted her head to the left, not really understanding what her mom just said. Hitomi laughed slightly from the look her daughter was giving her, then bent done to her level. Raising her right hand to her chest she continued to explain. "They are not her with me but they are right here in my heart." Hitomi said, and then put a hand on Hinata's chest. "Just like when I'm not with you, I will always be in your heart." Hinata was about to question what her mother just said when Hanabi woke up and began to cry.

Hitomi took Hanabi out of the sling and began to rock her back in forth trying to calm the baby down. Hinata watched in fascination while her right hand played with her hair that was tied up in a ribbon. The baby was still crying when a strong wind blew, and Hinata's ribbon fell out of her hair. Floating in the wind, the ribbon entered the forest, close to the clearing, and Hinata chased after it. Hitomi wasn't able to move because she was still trying to calm down Hanabi, but she turned on her Byakugan to keep an eye on her. She watched Hinata go into the forest but noticed someone else there as well.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Back in the forest with Naruto)

Small amounts of light permeated through the canopy onto a little sleeping boy. The wind rustled his golden hair. A lavender ribbon fell on top of his nose and a small part dangled off, tickling his nose. "Achooo!" Naruto sneezed, sitting up now, and noticed something falling down to his lap. "What's this?" He then heard a rustling of bushes to his left and a moment later a little girl with strange eyes came out.

She slowly closed the distance between them while wringing her wrists. "G-gomen, b-b-ut could I have my ribbon back?" Hinata asked as she pointed to the thing on Naruto's lap, a foot away from him now.

Naruto looked curiously at the ribbon, picked it up close to his face, and then offered it to Hinata. "What does it do?" Naruto questioned.

"I-I use it to hold my h-hair like my mother does." Hinata said as she took the ribbon, and began to tie it back on her hair.

Naruto then looked at her funny and asked, "What's a moth..." He was stopped from asking his question when a small, white furred, animal ran behind Hinata and disappeared into a bush.

"IIIIiiiieee!" Naruto never got to finish his question because Hinata jumped forward, enveloping him in a hug around his neck, from the sudden scare.

Naruto panicked and started to wiggle his way out of the girl's grip. However she denied letting go and his attempts became futile. "What are yo..." Naruto stopped what he was saying when he felt his shoulder getting wet and heard the sound of crying. "Why are you crying?"

"I-I-I'm s-s-sc-scared." Hinata said through her fright and stutter.

Naruto didn't know what to do. His arms were sticking out from under the girl's arms, not knowing where to go. He then heard the bushes shake again and the girl's grip got tighter.

Naruto saw a bigger girl that had the same eyes as the one hugging him, stick her upper body out from the bushes. She then put her arms in a loop opening it and closing it, but kept the shape of the loop. Naruto got the idea and enclosed his arms around the girl in front of him.

Hinata stopped trembling and began to slowly stop crying. Hitomi came from out the bushes with Hanabi, while Hinata started to sniff up stopping her crying. "Hinata-chan are you alright?" Her mother asked. Hinata nodded her head from Naruto's shoulder, still hugging him. "Then are you still hugging your hero because you want to say thank you?" Hitomi asked.

Hinata now noticing what she was doing jerked away from Naruto, releasing her hold on him. "G-gomen, I didn't know I was hugging you." Hinata apologized with a blush, embarrassed she did that to someone she didn't even know.

"What was that?" Naruto question looking at the bigger girl.

"What?" Hitomi inquired. Naruto then began to make the same hand gesture the woman was making not too long ago. "Ooh... That was a hug. You don't know what a hug is?" Hitomi asked. Naruto shook his head and Hitomi mentally frowned. "A hug is a way to show affection to someone you like, or to say thank you." She then bent down to Naruto and put him in a one armed hug, because she didn't want to squish Hanabi in the sling. "Arigato, for helping my Hinata-chan."

Naruto didn't know why but he felt very warm when he got the hug, he liked it. His stomach then grumbled. The bigger girl then laughed and then asked, "What's your name?"

"Naruto... Uzumaki Naruto." he said.

Hitomi already knew who it was but she didn't want to be questioned on how she knew, also it introduced him to Hinata. "Well Naruto-chan, I'm Hyuuga Hitomi, this is Hanabi, and the one who was hugging you was Hinata. They are both my daughters." Looking at her daughter, she asked for permission, "Hinata-chan would you mind Naruto-chan joining us on our picnic?" Hinata shook her head, indicating it was alright. Hitomi then looked at Naruto. "Well then, would you like to have something to eat Naruto-chan?"

Naruto nodded his head vigorously and they all walked to the memorial stone. When they arrived, Hitomi removed her backpack and took out a blanket for all of them to sit on. She then took out her bento, and then saw the container underneath it. "I wonder." she thought. Taking out one of the containers, she opened it and notice Naruto's nose twitch. "Yep, definatly his son."

Following the smell Naruto went over to Hitomi, as Hinata took out her bento. "What's that?" Naruto questioned.

Hitomi put on a smirk, "Beef ramen. Would you like to have some?" As expected, Naruto nodded his head so fast that it looked like it would fly off. Hitomi took out two chop sticks and handed them to Naruto, and then put the bowl in front of him. Naruto had a stick in each hand, and tried to scoop the soup with them. Hitomi giggled at Naruto's attempt to use the chop sticks. "Naruto-chan, take a look at Hinata-chan, and how she eats." Hitomi suggested pointing to Hinata. Said girl was blushing now from the increased attention.

"How do I do that?" Naruto questioned.

"Here." Hitomi said leaning towards Naruto, taking his chopsticks, and positioning his hand correctly to hold the sticks. "The bottom stick doesn't move, you just use the top stick to grab the food." Naruto nodded to confirm he understood and tried once more to eat the delicious ramen. A couple of min. went by and Naruto was getting better and better using the chopsticks. "Well when you really want something, you will put more effort in learning how to get it." Hitomi mused.

Hanabi then cried again, grabbing Hitomi's attention. "Oh are you hungry too Hanabi-chan?" she said in a baby voice. She lowered the left side of her yukata to expose her breast and positioned her child to feed from it.

Naruto finished his bowl of ramen and drank the broth. "This is better than that chocolate bar." Naruto declared.

"Well I'm glad you like my cooking." Hitomi said.

Naruto looked in her direction and noticed the baby was on Hitomi's chest for the first time that day. Apperently, his attention was so consumed by being able to eat the ramen; he hadn't notice when the baby cried. "What's she doing?" Naruto asked pointing at Hanabi.

"She is eating." Hitomi answered.

"She's eating you!?" Naruto asked with a surprised expression on his face.

Hitomi giggled, and shook her head, "No, she's drinking the milk my body makes. It's her food. Babies her age can't eat anything solid, so they have to eat things that don't need to be chewed."

At the mention of food Naruto's stomach grumbled again. Hinata heard the grumble and saw Naruto rubbing his stomach. Hinata went into her mother's backpack and grabbed the other container. She opened it, held it in her hands, and offered it to Naruto with her head down, eyes closed shut. "P-please, have some more." Hinata posed.

Naruto slowly took the bowl from Hinata's hands. "Ahhh, um... Arigato Hinata-chan." Naruto thanked after remembering his little lesson yesterday.

Hitomi was surprised by Hinata's offer, but smiled with pride that Hinata was breaking her shyness.

"So Naruto why were you sleeping in the forest?" Hitomi asked making Hinata wonder what her mother was talking about.

"I was chased by bad guys for a long time and I got sleepy." Naruto answered.

Hitomi frowned at the answer, but continued, "Does the Hokage know?"

"What's a Hokage?" Naruto quizzed.

Hitomi looked at him curiously but answered anyways, "The man who protects everyone in this village. He wears a white robe and a red hat. He's pretty old and ha...

"You mean jijii?" Naruto asked. Hitomi giggled and Hinata looked at her mother not understanding what was so funny.

Yes, um... jijii." Hitomi answered.

"I didn't see him for a long time. I think he's busy." Naruto said.

"Well he is an important man, but you can go see him at the Hokage tower." Hitomi said.

"Where's that?" Naruto questioned.

Hitomi thought that it might be hard to give directions to a 3 year old and answered, "It's the round building in the center of the village, and ha..."

"You mean the big red one?" Naruto interrupted.

"Yes." Hitomi removed Hanabi from herself and then put her yukata back on her shoulder. She then went to her backpack and took out some money. "Here Naruto. When you go see the Hokage, tell him lunch is on Hitomi-oba-san." Hitomi put the large amount of bills in his pocket. "Remember to see him as soon as possible." Naruto nodded.

Hitomi knew that the clan wouldn't like it if they found out that she was mingling with what they called a demon. She couldn't go to the Hokage and talk about Naruto either because they would ask or find out if they didn't. This was the only thing she could do for him now. "Hinata-chan would you like to play with your new friend?" Hitomi asked.

"Friend?" Naruto questioned with hope in his eyes looking back and forth between Hitomi and Hinata.

"Is he Hinata-chan?" Hitomi asked with smile on her face. Her daughter didn't have any friends being kept inside the complex so much. The kids who played with her only did because their parents asked them to.

"I would like that. I-if Naruto-san wants to be." Hinata said while poking her fingers together.

Naruto nodded his head vigorously. He then ran over to Hinata, grabbing her hand, and ran to the clearing, pulling Hinata from behind.

Hitomi giggled at Naruto's antics and the cute expression on her daughter's face. She then averted her attention to the memorial stone. Walking up to it, she found the names of her two friends and teammates. "Haji-kun... Minato-kun..." Hitomi said as she brushed her finger over their names. "I miss you both so much." A single tear came out from her left eye, and trickled down her face. She wiped it away and put on a smile, at Naruto's amazed expression of how Hinata found him so fast. The two were playing hide and seek after Hinata explained the rules.

"Wow Hinata-chan, how do you find me so easily? Even those guys with the masks have problems finding me." Naruto praised.

Hinata wasn't able to find him for a long time so she had to revert to using her eyes. "It's n-nothing really Naruto-kun. It was really hard to find you and I had to use my eyes." Naruto looked curiously at her not understanding what she was saying. He kept on thinking that everyone used their eyes to find something.

Hitomi walked over and put an arm around Hinata's shoulder. "So it's Naruto-kun now?" Hitomi said implying something else.

"W-well we are f-friends now. I-is that alright?" Hinata asked looking at Naruto, hiding her mouth with the sleeve of her yukata.

"Sure." Naruto said with his big smile, causing his eyes to close. His smile left his face when he heard someone land on the ground behind them.

An ANBU had landed near them and was staring at Naruto, "I can't believe those idiots lost track of such a dangerous thing. Don't they understand what..." He then noticed the other people in the area. "Hyuuga-sama, what are you doing here?" the ANBU asked.

"I came here to respect the dead before it became a little too crowded here." Hitomi answered. "Why are you here ANBU-san?"

"I'm here to bring..." He tilted his head to Naruto. "Back to the village."

Not really trusting the man but having no power to do anything about it Hitomi stalled, "Alright but first allow him to retrieve his belongings." The ANBU nodded and put his attention towards Naruto who was staring at him.

Hitomi came back with Hinata's panda backpack and put it on Naruto's shoulders. Naruto was about to protest when Hitomi whispered something in his ear, "Don't worry about it, it's a gift from me and Hinata-chan. There's some food inside, and remember to meet jijii as fast as possible." Naruto nodded and began to walk with the ANBU back to the village.

When they were out of sight, Hinata walked over to her mother, and tugged on her yukata. "K-kaa-san why did you give him my bag?" Hinata questioned.

"He still looked a little hungry so I put my bento inside it. Is it alright that I gave him your backpack?" Hitomi asked, a moment later Hinata nodded with a smile. "What do you think of him?"

"I-I think he's very nice." Hinata said and then smiled warmly. "And he has a nice smile."

"Well of course, he's a hero." Hitomi stated.

"Is he really a hero?" Hinata asked in awe.

"Yep, a true born here." Hitomi said.

"K-kaa-san, could he come to my birthday party?" Hinata questioned with hope.

"Well we will have to ask him first, but I'm sure he would love to come." Hitomi said. Hinata put on a big smile, now actually looking forward to her birthday. "Come on Hinata-chan we should get back home." Hitomi said extending her hand out for Hinata. Grasping her hand, Hinata walked back home with her mother and sister, hoping for the days to fly bye so she could meet Naruto-kun again.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Hokage Office)

"And Naruto is alright now?" Sarutobi questioned. When he had gotten to work, that morning, he was informed of the fire last night and went to investigate, but the building was burnt ablaze. He sent a number of ANBU in search of Naruto, and had just now been told that he was found.

"Hai Hokage-sama. He is within the safety of the village now." an ANBU told the Hokage.

"Thank you. You are excused now." the Hokage said. The ANBU nodded his head and disappeared from the room. Sarutobi took out his pipe and then lit it. "I swear that kid is gonna be the death of me." Sarutobi thought as he began to massage the bridge of his nose. "I'm still a little busy with the paper work and the festival preparation, but I'll have to make sure I see him on his birthday. I haven't seen him for four months."

He was taken out of his thoughts when he heard a knock at the door. "Enter." the Third commanded. Anko walked into the room and handed the Hokage a folder full of sheets. "Done with your mission already?"

"Well it wasn't really that hard. Couldn't you give me something a little higher jijii? Maybe something further from the village?" Anko questioned.

"Anko you know the harder missions require a jounin ranked shinobi." The Hokage answered.

"That's a load of bull and you know it. I can whip the floor with most of the jounin in this village." Anko countered.

"I know, but the council is a little too... thick headed to understand that, and finding your old sensei is a little dangerous at this point in time." Sarutobi said.

"How much longer do I have to do this before they trust me?" Anko posed.

"Well don't look at all the bad things. There are some positives, like being able to enjoy the festival in five days. Isn't there someone you would like to go with?" Sarutobi questioned.

Anko blushed a little. "That's none of yo..."

She did get too finished because the doors blasted open and a man walked through. "Hokage-sama I have to talk to..." The man stopped in his tracks when he saw the woman and the Hokage were having a conversation. "Gomen, Hokage-sama. I didn't know you were busy." Iruka apologized with a bow.

"That's alright Iruka we were just talking about you." Sarutobi said causing Anko's flush to grow darker. "Do you think Anko would look better in a traditional autumn style kimono or a violet kimono for the festival coming up?"

Iruka blushed and was caught by surprise. "Wha-what, I mean... Maybe the..or the..."

He didn't get to finish because Anko locked her right arm with his and began to drag him out of the room. "What the hell are you saying jijii! Mind your own god damn business!"

Sarutobi chuckled at the two people leaving his office, and began to look forward to this year's festival.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Apartment in Konoha, 5 days later. Oct 10th)

It was midnight now and Kurenai hadn't left her apartment all week. She sat on the sofa for another sleepless night. She was reading a book that she had started some nights ago, when her hand began to tremble. Frowning at what her hand was doing, she placed a bookmark in her book, closed it, and placed it on the coffee table in front of her. She then walked to the kitchen while favouring her left hand.

Taking out a glass, she filled it with warm water, and placed it back on the counter. She then reached into her pocket and grabbed a little black square box, the same thickness and width of a deck of cards, and slid off its cover, to reveal small white pills. Retrieving the glass of water, she placed one of the pills into it, causing the water to turn red. She then took a sip of the liquid and her hand almost instantly stopped trembling. She walked back to the living room, grabbing her book, and took a seat, with the glass in her hand. This was how she spent some of her nights, so that she wouldn't have to think about some horrible memories she had.

8 a.m.

Kurenai was still reading her book when she heard a knock at her door. Once again she put her bookmark inside and closed the book that was the size of an encyclopaedia. Her mind busy thinking of other things, she forgot to check who was on the other side of the door and began to unlock the door.

She cracked the door open and looked through the door. "Yes? Whose the... Hitomi-sama!" Kurenai said in surprise. "W-what are you doing here?"

"What do you mean 'What am I doing here.' You haven't left your apartment in a week. I got worried, and Hinata was wondering what happened to you. What's going on with you Kurenai-chan?" Hitomi asked. She then pushed the door open and walked inside, and removed the messenger bag she was carrying.

"I... I just don't know. It's almost been 3 years since they.. they..." She said with tears in her eyes, she then looked at Hitomi with her tear stained face and was ringing her wrist. "I-I'm sorry. I-it's all my f-fault. If I wasn..."

She never got to finish because Hitomi's palm made contact with her face, causing it to move 45 degrees to the right. The sudden pain from the strike stopped Kurenai's apology, but the tears were still flowing down her face.

"Don't you ever say that. It wasn't your fault and you know it! If it was you, I would have killed you myself on that day." Hitomi then enveloped her in a hug, placed Kurenai's head to her chest, and began to cry herself.

"It wasn't your fault. He did it to protect you. Haji-chan wouldn't want you to blame yourself. I know it's painful to lose the ones you love. I loved them too. Shinzo, Hajimaru, Takeshi." She then adjusted her head looking directly at Kurenai, and put two hands on her face so that she would face her, while wiping the tears with her thumbs.

"But we're still alive and I still love you Kurenai-chan. Don't you ever forget that."

Hitomi release the Kurenai from her grasp, but Kurenai still looked depressed and lowered her head. "But I'm a monster... How could you care for something like me?" Kurenai debated in a sadden voice.

"Kurenai-chan, just look in the mirror. Could a monster really shed tears like you are now? Would a monster care if someone died? Would a monster even consider people more important than themselves?" Hitomi countered, and brushed the hair away from Kurenai's face. "You're not a monster Kurenai. You are every bit as human as me."

"Arigato Hitomi-sama." Kurenai said with a calm voice.

"What did I tell you about calling me sama?" Hitomi questioned.

"Gomen. Hitomi-oba-san." Kurenai said with a slight smile.

"That's better. Now get ready." Hitomi then walked over to the messenger bag she had brought and thrown it at Kurenai.

"What's this?" Kurenai asked surprised.

"Hinata-chan wanted her big sister to join us at the festival this afternoon, so I got you a kimono." Hitomi said.

Kurenai looked shocked, "But Hito..."

"No buts. You need to get out of this place and get some fresh air. Don't make me bring Hinata-chan here and give you her cute puppy face." Hitomi said with a finger shaking at Kurenai. The 16 year old teen nodded her head and accepted. "Perfect. We'll see you at the entrance to the Hyuuga compound in 3 hours." Hitomi declared happily.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Streets of Konoha)

After the little embarrassing act that happened in the Hokage office, Iruka asked Anko if she would like to go to the festival with him... as friends, just as friends! Well at least that is what Iruka said but in reality he was just too embarrassed to ask her on an official date.

Although, this didn't stop Anko from thinking that it could be a date. She was actually looking forward to this day and even buying a new kimono. The kimono was an indigo colour, with violet maple leaves, and black trees on the bottom part of her kimono.

They had been out since the beginning of the afternoon, but they hadn't talked much. They were both nervous and blushing most of the time.

Right now though it was silent because of a different reason. It was 6 p.m. and they were in a giant crowd in front of the Hokage monument. Anko didn't really want to just stand around and listen to the Hokage give a speech to the ones who died 3 years ago, but was still paying attention, because she was still shy to look Iruka in the face. She heard crying coming from all over, but what surprised her was that Iruka was crying with a sadden expression on his face.

Noticing Anko looking at him, Iruka quickly raised his arms up to start wiping his tears. He never got to though because Anko had grabbed his arms. "Don't you dare dry them. If you miss your parents you should let them run free so that when they look at you from where they are, they will know you miss them. The only thing you should get rid of is that pathetic look that's on your face. You really want to disgrace their sacrifice by being sad because they're gone. You should be proud that you had parents who cared enough to protect you from something so awful, and show it." Anko said and released his arms.

Tears still flowing down his eyes, Iruka put on a smile and put his attention back to the Hokage to let him finish his speech.

It was now 8pm, and they were walking together down the lit up street with the many food stalls. Both of them hadn't talked much during the entire event. They were still both nervous and blushing most of the time. That's why Anko was a little surprised when Iruka slipped his hand in hers. "I was wondering when you would gather your stones and actually try something." Anko said putting on a smirk

To flustered to hear what she was implying he said, "I-I'm sorry, It wasn't right to..."

Iruka stopped what he was saying, when Anko grasped his hand a little tighter, stopping his hand from leaving. "I don't mind. I... I actually like you a bit." Anko said with a blush near the end.

"R-really!?" Iruka asked surprised.

"What's that supposed to mean!? A girl like me can't possibly like a boy like you!?" Anko retorted with a little anger.

Iruka raised his free hand in defence, "N-no that's not what I mean. It's just... It's just..."

"Spit it out already!" Anko demanded.

"ILIKEYOUTOO!" Iruka blurted out, losing the pink blush and upgrading to red.

"... O-oh... well good." Anko said with a blush but looked away not wanting him to see it.

They were now both walking in silence again but still holding hands. After a couple more minutes of walking, Iruka regretted this because he was now being dragged by Anko, "Look a dango stand!"

Anko ran to the stand as fast as she could, but stopped dead in her tracks, when she saw a crowed further down the street. She could hear the angry shouts the sound of crying. Carefully walking forward to get a better look, she saw a yellow head of hair in the in the middle of the crowd. She ran towards the crowd but noticed that Iruka had let go of her hand. "What are you doing!? We have to help him!" Anko pleaded.

Seeing Anko's worried face, Iruka couldn't even face her and turned his head away to the floor. Anko almost not believing that someone she cared for would actually allow something like this happen began to shed tears. Quickly looking away from the man in front of her, she made her way to the crowd.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Orphanage)

It was now 9 o'clock and the Hokage had just finished the speech and introductions for the day. He was now free and decided to visit Naruto. Although what he heard when he got there shocked him.

"What do you mean he's not here!?" Sarutobi exclaimed, holding one of the caretakers to the orphanage by the collar.

"I-I d-d-don't k-know!? H-he j-j-just one d-d-day di-disapeared." the caretaker said, lieing through his teeth.

The Hokage then through the man to one of the ANBU that came with him. "Take him to Ibiki to extract the information, and everyone else working in the orphanage. I want two ANBU to stay here though to take care of the children though." The Hokage ordered and many of the ANBU began to move. "Tenzo, I know your captain is on a mission in snow country, so I want you to lead a team of ANBU into the village and discretely find Naruto. I don't want something to happen on a day of celebration and mourning."

The bear masked ANBU nodded and disappeared with his cat masked companion. "Please let him be alright. I couldn't face the Hokage monument if I failed Minato." Sarutobi thought.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Streets of Konoha, an hour before)

For the past couple of days, Naruto had tried going to the Hokage tower, but every time he would get close, one of those masked guys would stop him. He was still carrying the panda shaped backpack, but the bento that was inside, was empty now. His cloths were a little dirtier now because he had to find a new place to sleep, but they weren't as clean as the place he used to retire too.

He had noticed for the last couple of days that there were many lights being set up and a lot more people were in the village. Today though, the lights were on, and there was a large aroma coming from the many food stalls. Curious as to what was going on, Naruto decided to explore the city. The lights and stalls looked beautiful and colourful to the birthday boy. Everyone looked happy, playing games and eating tasty treats. Although they weren't all so distracted to give him nastier glares than usual, but that didn't put a damper to his spirits... much.

After a while of walking on the streets, Naruto smelled the same heavenly smell his nose was blessed to sample five days ago. To his right was a ramen bar. Quickly he ran up to the busy store and sat on one of the stools.

"Hello there, how may I help you little boy?" a middle aged man asked.

"Can I have some ramen?" Naruto asked with his mouth open and about to drool.

"Well do you have any money?" the man asked.

Naruto rummaged through his pockets, and produced the money Hitomi had given him. "How much does this give me?" Naruto questioned presenting the large wad of bills to the man in front of him.

The man's eyes almost left his sockets at the amount of money, you could buy a small house with the cash he had. Calming himself down, the man answered, "Well you won't need to use that much, but you can eat as much as you want. I'll charge you once you are full. Does that sound good to you?" Naruto nodded his head like a paint shaker and the man smiled at the boy's enthusiasm to eat his ramen. "Well then what flavour do you want?"

"There's more than one?" Naruto quizzed with a surprised look on his face.

"Of course. I wouldn't be the world's best ramen maker if I didn't have more than one flavour." The man said.

"Can I have them all?" Naruto asked.

"I'll tell you what, we'll start from the beginning of the list and work our way down. I don't think you can go through the whole list in just one meal." the man said totally unaware of Naruto's appetite.

Naruto then began to put the money back until someone grabbed his arm, stopping it from entering the pocket. "Where did a demon like you get all this money? Have you been killing unsuspecting villagers for everything they had?" A man said, his mouth was drenched in the same smell as those guys who walked funny at night and threw up everywhere. Naruto could see 10 other guys standing behind him. "Monsters like you don't need money anyways." The man then lifted Naruto's hand out and took his money.

"Hey that's mine!" Naruto protested.

The man's response was to roughly pull Naruto off the stool, causing him to fall on his back hard, spit on his face, and then kick him exceptionally hard, breaking a rib and sending him to the middle of the street. Naruto gasped for air do to the sudden loss of breath. "A piece of shit like you has no right to say anything. It was your fault they all died! It was your fault everyone's lives are ruined!" Another man shouted punching Naruto in the face and getting attention of the other people around.

The ten men began to beat on the small child. Many people on the street were watching, but some even decide to join. Naruto was now in the fetal position to try and protect his body as much as possible, sticking his back up. The only reason why he hadn't died yet was that the 50 or more people trying to beat him were all fighting for a chance to get a hit, and the bento box on his back was taking most of the damage.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(On the roof of a building in Konoha.)

Tenzo had divided the ANBU assigned to him into teams of two to search for Naruto. He was jumping along the roof tops with the cat masked ANBU, until he heard some noise to his right. Raising his arm up in a sign to halt, he gestured towards the noise and the woman with him nodded.

They leapt off towards the noise, until they saw what the source of the noise was. They stopped on a roof, within the shadows, and looked a little more closely at the crowd. When they saw the yellow hair within the middle of the crowd the cat masked woman instinctively rushed forward.

Although she wasn't able to go because Tenzo had grasped her arm halting her. "Yugao, go back to the Hokage and tell him where he is." Tenzo ordered.

She then looked at him, "But.."

"No buts. You know your techniques aren't for subduing and we can't have a blood bath. I am the more suitable choice. You're also the fastest, now please inform the Hokage." Tenzo interrupted. Yugao nodded and an after image of herself was left for a second before disappearing.

Tenzo then rushed towards the floor but not before noticing a woman in a purple kimono running towards the crowd.

A man who was on another roof, turned back into the shadows after watching Tenzo fall towards the crowd.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Back a couple of minutes in time with Naruto) (pretty much before Tenzo and Anko notice what is happening to Naruto)

"It hurts. Stop it, it hurts. Please stop it." Naruto cried out with his head under his arms for protection. Naruto was covered in blood from the many cuts on his body, and there was a small pool of it on the ground. There was so much, it was hard to believe that a small child could produce that much. Through it all though he was repeating the same thing over and over again, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry. I don't know what I did, but I'm sorry. It hurts. Please stop. I'm sorry."

"Leave him alone! He didn't do anything! What's wrong with all of you!" the old man from the ramen stand shouted to the angry crowd. He tried pushing his way through the crowd but one of the angry members of the mob turned around and punched the hold man right under the jaw, knocking him out.

"Shut up! Don't you understand he's a demon." the man said as he spat on the unconscious man's face. A 7 year old girl with brown hair ran up to the unconscious man put her body over him in order to protect him from anyone else who wanted to try something.

"Fucking bag is getting in the way!" a man stated as he took out two kunai and stabbed the bag, trying to rip through. He was able to pierce through the bento box inside, causing Naruto to start bleeding as 1/8 of the kunai went into his back, but he wasn't able to rip the bag because it was stuck in the wood box. Taking out two more kunai, he cut the straps of the now bloody bag, and tossed it away. At this point Naruto was crying from all the pain and letting out every tear he held in freely. He raised his head from under his arms and shouted, "Someone please help me. Help me please!"

The villagers who were watching just turned their heads away from Naruto's face to lose eye contact. "Shut the hell up you fucking demon." A man said as he punched the top of Naruto's head, making his face hit the floor and going unconscious.

"It's time to end this piece of shit's life." a man said taking out a kunai, not even thinking what would happen when he wrapped an explosion note around it. Being too far away from Naruto, Anko and Tenzo watched in horror as the man's arm swung down towards Naruto's back, over the heart.

The arm was stopped dead in its tracks by a blast of red chakra. The blast sent the man, and others around a 5 feet radius of Naruto, flying backwards to be caught by people in the mob.

"DID YOU SEE THAT!? THE DEMON IS COMING FREE! KILL IT!!" One of the men shouted. The people raced after towards the center, but stopped dead in their tracks at the sight of the two people who popped up on either side of the child.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Again a couple minutes before Naruto was attacked but in another part of town)

"How do you like your takoyaki Hinata-chan?" Kurenai asked wearing the red kimono Hitomi gave her.

"It's delicious." Hinata whispered, while being carried in her mother's arms. They hadn't brought Hanabi because it was too loud and it would just bother her.

"That's not fair Hinata-chan. Your mommy is too busy carrying you to eat any." Hitomi faked wined, with a pout. Hinata looked at her mother thinking she was actually sad, and then back at the takoyaki. She picked one of the timbit sized treats, and slipped it in her mother's mouth. "You're so kind Hinata-chan." Hitomi said with a smile after eating the treat, and cuddled her face with her daughter's.

Her smile faded when she felt a wave of killing intent a distance away. Looking of in the direction of the source, her eyes began to bulge. She then slowly handed Hinata to Kurenai while still looking in the same direction. "Kurenai, I know you felt that and you want to go see what's going on but please I need you to watch over Hinata-chan for me."

Kurenai nodded in understanding, and Hitomi then turned to Hinata with a smile. "You be a good girl now ok Hinata-chan? Don't make too much trouble for your nee-chan." Hitomi said petting her daughters head. She then leapt off as fast as she could towards the disturbance.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Where we left Naruto last)

"What the hell are you doing!?Step away from the demon and let us kill it!" A man protested to Anko and Tenzo. Other people in the crowd were doing the same thing.

Tenzo began to go through some hand seals, "By order of the Sandaime Hokage you are all underar...!"

"What the fuck are you piece of shits doing to a little boy!? Even if you die and go to hell, it won't make up for your sins!" Anko said and then thrusted both her arms out. "Sen'eijashu!" 8 snakes came out of her sleeves in total, and each wrapped around one of the mob members. She then went through a couple of hand signs, "Doton: Nebukai Hebi!" (Earth Style: Deep Rooted Snake) The snakes dug their head and tail into the ground, while still constricting their targets, and turned into stone, effectively holding the attackers.

At the same time Tenzo released his jutsu, "Mokuton: Shichuhaji no Jutsu!" (Wood Style: Four Pillar Grasp Technique) Four pillars came out of the ground and branches sprouted from them, grabbing the closest person to them constricting them to the post. Each pillar constricted two men.

"Cheh, not bad but there are still too many of them!" Anko stated.

"If you can get us some space I can make a wall to protect him!" Tenzo said over the roar of the crowd.

Nodding her head, Anko bit her thumb and swiped it over a tattoo on her left arm. "Kochiyose no Jutsu!" (Summoning Technique) A large snake was summoned, that layed in a circle around Naruto, making a barrier for the mob. Anko and Tenzo both jumped behind the large snake, who's height (not the length) was as tall as Anko herself. The snake then expanded outwards, pushing the mob further back.

During this time Tenzo began to finish his seals, "Mokuton: Moku Jodomu!" (Wood Style: Wood Locking Dome) The snake disappeared in a puff of smoke, and when it cleared the mob could only see a wooden dome in front of them. Infuriated the mob began to attack the wall.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Inside the dome)

"Yeah great defence." Anko said sarcastically. "How are we supposed to see in here?"

Tenzo was kneeling on the ground with his hands in the snake seal, trying to keep the barrier active. "I'm a little.. busy at the moment." Tenzo said struggling to say the words.

"Useless." Anko said. She then closed her eyes and put one hand in a dragon sign and the other in a snake sign and mixed them together. "I hate doing this." She thought. "Uwabami Kankaku" (Python Sense) concentrating chakra to certain parts of her sense, she opened her eyes, but in the darkness you couldn't see them. With her new sense she was able to "see" in the dark cave. Tenzo could hear a hissing sound coming from Anko.

"Oh my god." Anko whispered as she saw the condition Naruto was in. Running up to him, she could sense his heart was still beating, and breath was coming out his mouth. "Hang in there! Don't die on me brat!" Anko yelled with tears in her eyes. She then ripped her right sleeve from the shoulder off, cutting it in half, and then wrapped it around his arms, to cover the bleeding. She did the same thing with her left sleeve but covered his legs this time. Taking out a kunai, she ripped the bottom part of her Kimono off, around mid thigh, and wrapped it around his body, to cover the cuts on his back.

While she was doing this, the ground was vibrating tremendously, Tenzo was breathing heavily. If this kept up, he would pass out from chakra exhaustion.

(Outside the dome.)

The mob was still beating on the dome, they even set it on fire but it wouldn't burn down. The 11 men who started all of this moved everyone close to the dome, and prepared Kunai with explosion notes on them. At once, they all threw one kunai at the dome, causing a large explosion. When the smoke cleared, the dome was still intact, but with many large indents.

"Stupid piece of shit won't go down!" One of the men shouted. He then took out 4 metal wires that had 7 explosion tags on each wire. Tying shuriken on each wire, he throws them around the dome and they became embedded on the wood. Still holding the end of all 4 wires, he put his hand in a seal. "Ka..."

He never got to finish because he suddenly fell unconscious. "What just hap..." Another man fell down. Members of the mob kept on falling one by one. A woman on a roof, kneeling on one leg whispered to herself, "Karamuhakke Rokujuyon Sho" (Entwining of the Eight Trigrams 64 Palms)

One of the attackers sensed where the killing intent was coming from and pointed at the roof, "Over there! Get 'im!" Many of the members of the mob looked at the direction of the finger and threw kunai, shuriken, bricks, and anything else they had in their hands all at once in that direction.

The projectiles were almost at their intended target when they swatted away by a spinning black pole that was gold at the tips. "Cease at once! You are all under arrest! If you decide to attack we shall take necessary measures to stop you!" the Sandaime Hokage ordered. The Hokage had 15 ANBU with him at the time.

Majority of the attackers did not comply and either fought back or ran away. The Hokage made a hand motion to attack and the ANBU began their assault on the criminals. The Sandaime then looked at the dome covered in explosion notes, as it unlocked itself and revealed Tenzo unconscious on the ground and Anko on the ground, focused on Naruto who was in her arms. He could see that Naruto was covered in something but there was blood still leaking through.

A moment later he was at Anko's side, and could see Tenzo being picked up by Yugao. Sarutobi looked at the tear stained face of Anko, then bent down, and looked into her slitted brown eyes. "Anko, you need to take him to the hospital! Anko listen to me!" the Hokage ordered putting one hand on her shoulder, and shaking the women, to get her to snap back into reality. "I need you to get him there as fast as you can! Do you understand me!?" Anko looked at the Hokage and nodded her head. She got up and ran as fast as she could to the hospital.

"He just had to check something out and be late." The Hokage thought to himself.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Hospital)

Anko had deactivated her jutsu, so that she could use more energy in running. Although, she couldn't move at top speed because she was afraid something might happen to Naruto. She burst through the doors of the hospital, grabbing everyone's attention from within. "Help! I need Help! He's gonna die if he doesn't get any treatment!" Anko pleaded, cradling Naruto, and covered in blood. One of the doctors in the room ran up to Anko to see what happened, but stopped when he saw the child's face.

"Get that filthy demon child out of her before he does something to harm the patients. He can die on the streets for all I care." The doctor said turning around, and walking away, showing his back to them.

Anko became infuriated and appeared right behind the man with a kunai to his throat, "You treat this kid, or I kill you."

If the man could look into Anko's eyes he would have done what she said but he wasn't, "Kill me if you want, but if you do it's not gonna help that demon get medical attention." the man stated.

Anko understood the man was right, and lowered her kunai. The man put on a smirk of victory but was soon replaced by pain, as a foot connected between his legs. "I'll be sure to come back and remove those for you, kisama (bastard)." Anko said to the now limp man on the floor. She then looked around the room and noticed that everyone was looking away from her, trying to ignore her. The patients in the lobby were even recoiling in their seats. "What's wrong with all of you!? He's a three year old kid! Why won't you help him!?" Anko questioned. Most of the doctors were now leaving the room, as were the nurses. "What the fuck is wro..."

"What's going on here?" A man asked as he was running into the room. "I heard a lot of noise. Is something wrong?"

"Please, I need your help. This boy needs to be treated." Anko pleaded.

The man looked at the child in the woman's arms and instantly recognized who it was. "Naruto!? What happened to you?" the man questioned.

"You know him?" Anko asked with hope.

"I'm his personal physician, Kenkoo Daichi." Daichi answered. "Quickly, follow me."

Anko nodded her head and was lead by Daichi to the infirmary.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Back in the streets of Konoha where the fight was.)

They had rounded up everyone they could, who were apart of the attack. Some were still being chased down, but they had managed to capture 63 people, apparently the mob grew as time went on. They were now being hulled off to the temporary prison in the Hokage tower, to be questioned before being sent to the prison.

Ichiraku Teuchi had to be taken to the hospital and so did Tenzo. Sarutobi was sitting on a bench, rubbing the bridge of his nose, trying to straighten everything out in his mind. "How did I let something like this happen? How could I let it escalade so far?" he thought. He then looked at his right and saw Hitomi kneeling on the ground in front of something. He walked over to her, from behind and saw her looking at a bag that was in the shape of a panda's head that had many holes in it. The only problem with it was that instead of it being black and white, it was black and red. It was drenched in Naruto's blood.

Hitomi was looking at the bag with tears in her eyes, and a look on her face that looked like her soul left her. "A 3 year old child. They did this to a 3 year old child. A kind, innocent child. Not just anyone's child. Mi..."

"Hitomi. That's not to be talked about." the Hokage stated.

Hitomi leaned forward and gripped the bag, still facing away from the Hokage. "5 days ago I met him at the memorial stone after he was chased by some bad men." Hitomi said, the Hokage frowned at the information, because it was different then the report he received. "I gave him Hinata-chan's bag, food, enough money to buy a house with, and where to find you. But I should have done more. If I just had watched over him, or led him to your office myself, then this ne..."

"Hitomi, this isn't your fault. If it's anyone's fault, it's mine. I was supposed to watch over him and make sure he was alright not you. I feel ashamed for failing Minato." Sarutobi said with a sadden voice. His face then turned serious. "Now I have to go find those traitors, who have been telling me fabrications all this time."

Hitomi looked at him curiously, "What do you mean?"

"I haven't seen Naruto for 4 months, but I have been given reports of his present condition on a daily basis. From what I saw at the orphanage, and what you just told me, I know I've been lied too." the Hokage said. His face then became was filled with shame, and he diverted his face away from Hitomi, "I should have just checked on him myself."

"Take me with you. I want to know what kind of person would do such a thing to someone who saved their lives." Hitomi demanded.

"You know you can't do that. Your clan wouldn't like to hear about you defending Naruto. You should get out of here fast. I'm sure your daughter is worried about you too." the Hokage argued. "Just leave it to me. I will personally see to it." Hitomi nodded her head in understanding, and ran away from the scene, while carrying the bloody bag.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Basement of the Hokage Tower)

Ibiki had just gotten out of cell and let out a sigh. That was the 12th person he had interrogated. The Hokage had promoted him to tokubetsu jounin (special jounin) so that he could join the ANBU's interrogation squad. He was known for his ability to acquire information and this department just seemed to suit him best. Within a couple of years, he would become head of the interrogation squad if he kept up with his unique method. He was becoming well known as a torturer.

He was about to go to the next room, until he saw the Hokage walking towards him. "Hokage-sama, what are you doing here? I thought you would be looking for the rest of the offenders."

"There are some questions I want answered. I'd like to watch you interrogate one of the ninja who were captured. Did you receive the information I sent you." the Hokage said.

"Of course Hokage-sama." Ibiki said with a bow. He then gestured for the Third to go into a room between two cells. Ibiki then walked into one of the cells, and saw a man who was chained to a wall with his arms stretched out as far away from each other as possible. He was given a poison that paralyzed his body from the neck down so that he wouldn't try anything funny. There was a one way window in the room, so that the Hokage could watch what was going on.

"Let me out of here! I didn't do anything wrong! Why do you defend that awful demon? He killed so many of the villagers." The man argued, trying to wiggle free from his chains.

Ibiki wasn't even paying attention to the man. Ibiki just stood there calmly, looking at the clipboard he had to find out what information he had on the man. The man was a high level chuunin. He wasn't in the battle with the Kyubi because he was a genin at the time, but he lost friends in that battle. This was the first ninja he was interrogating out of all the captives.

He was looking to his right, were a table with the captive's items that he had on him were laid out, and was thinking. Walking to the table, Ibiki picked up a large sum of cash. "Chuunin don't make nearly as much money as this, let alone carry it around with them..." Ibiki said and looked at the man chained up. "Where did you get it?"

"I took it back from that awful demon who stole it." the man stated.

"So then it was originally your money?" Ibiki questioned.

The man put on a slightly worried look, "..Well no. But he sto..."

"So then you stool it from the child." Ibiki stated writing down something on the clipboard.

"But he stole it from other people in the first place." the man countered.

"Do you have proof? Do you know who he stole it from?" Ibiki questioned.

"Well.. no." the man said with a defeated voice.

"I have reports saying that the money was voluntarily given to him, meaning you stole from a 3 year old child." Ibiki calmly said, checking off something else on his clipboard.

The man got agitated every time Ibiki wrote something on the clip board. He was already angry being locked up and that calm look on Ibiki's face as he wrote things down, just made him madder, "That's bullshit and you know i..."

"You still haven't answered my question. Where did you get the money?" Ibiki questioned.

"What do you mean? I just told you where I go.."

"No you told me where you got the extra money." Ibiki said, he was looking at the amount of money Hitomi received and the amount that 10 other men had. He had already subtracted the amount of money that was in his hand and the money Naruto had, and it was the same as the 10 men, give or take a couple of dollars. "If you think I haven't talked to your buddies, and they haven't already sold you out, then I hope you enjoy your time in prison." Ibiki bluffed making his way towards the door.

The man gritted his teeth and his eyes moved to the bottom right corner in thought. "...Wait!" The man shouted as Ibiki touched the door handle. "We got the money from this guy."

Ibiki turned around and questioned, "What guy?"

"I-I don't know, he hid his face and the mask he was wearing made his voice sound weird..." He said and Ibiki turned his attention back to the door. "B-but he gave us the money to attack the demon!"

"Why?" Ibiki quizzed.

"I-I don't know, but he said not to kill the demon, just ruff him up for a couple of hours." the man said.

"But you all went a little further than that and almost killed him. Correct?" Ibiki asked.

"It's a fucking demon! Why shouldn't we kill it!" the man exclaimed.

"If he is a demon as you say he is, then why does the Hokage protect him so?" Ibiki questioned.

"Because that fucking demon is using the Hokage as a puppet! It's using its powers to control him, and the Hokage can't see that." the man debated.

"And you aren't affected by this?" Ibiki asked.

"Like I'd ever let a fucking demon take control of me!" the man argued.

"I see." Ibiki said and opened the door.

"Wait! Where are you going?" the man quickly asked, with worry in his voice.

"I said if you think I haven't talked to your friends, and they haven't already sold you out, that you should enjoy your time in prison." Ibiki stated.

"But that's why I told you everything I knew." the man said.

"Well I haven't seen your friends yet. You are the first, so you were right to think that I haven't talked to them yet, but thank you for the information." Ibiki said and walked out the door. "Stupid maggot. If the Hokage, the strongest ninja in our village, could be controlled, then what chance would you have... Baka."

(Hospital)

Anko was sitting in the waiting room. She was hunched over, her hands clasped together, and her right leg shaking up and down. Daichi had given her his white coat that doctors wore, to cover her ripped blood stained kimono. She looked up for the thousandth time hoping that the red light over the door would turn green, but at the same time a part of her didn't want it to, for fear of what she might hear next. She had been sitting there for 6 hours, so it was almost 4 a.m. in the morning.

She had carried Naruto to a stretcher and Daichi had rounded up some nurses to help him and they took him to the operation room.

There was no one in the room, just the occasional nurse walking bye. That's why she jumped slightly when a hand was put on her shoulder.

"Gomen Anko, I didn't mean to scare you." Sarutobi apologized. He had finished watching the interrogations when they started to become repetitive.

"It's alright. I'm just a little out of it." Anko said in a low voice.

"You're worried about him aren't you?" Sarutobi asked, but sounded more like a statement. Anko nodded and the Hokage sat down on the chair next to her. "Is it because he reminds you of you?"

Anko let out a low chuckle at that, which confused Sarutobi. "You can't even compare him to me." Anko stated. "I may have been mistreated, but I was never hated like that. My suffering is nothing compared to his, and he's only 3 years old... I met him a couple of days ago, but I didn't know who it was then. If I had just paid attention or if I.."

"It wasn't your fault Anko. If it was anyone's fault it was mine, don't blame yourself." Sarutobi said.

"How could they do that to him though? He's just a child. Even when I brought him to the hospital, no one would help him, because they all think he's a demon. If it wasn't for Daichi, he'd probably be dead now." Anko said sadly, and then gripped the armrests. "I feel like showing them what a real monster is."

The seal on Anko's neck began to react and spread. "Anko, control your emotions." the Hokage ordered. Anko put her left hand over the seal because of the slight pain. She then grabbed her necklace with her right hand, and stabbed the seal with the fang on the pendant. The seal reverted back to its inactive form. "Are you alright?" the Hokage asked.

Anko nodded, "They've been less and less frequent. If it keeps up it will probably only react if I want it too or if that bastard comes back."

The Hokage nodded to that and they both sat in silence, waiting to hear how Naruto was doing. A couple of minutes later the door cracked open and Daichi came out of the room. Anko and Sarutobi both jumped out of their seats.

Daichi put his arms up in defence, indicating to the two worried people to not rush him. "We were able to stabilize him and disinfect his injuries. His body should be fine physically but he's not waking up... I believe his mind is protecting itself from the pain and shut off until the body is mended. Until it does we won't know if there has been any mental trauma, but for someone to go through something like that he's lucky to be alive."

The Hokage nodded to Daichi and then turned to Anko who was beginning to tear in her eyes. "Anko, you should go and get some rest. Don't worry about Naruto; I'll make sure to put my most trusted men with him. You can see him when you wake up if you'd like." The Hokage said.

"Jijii... can I ask for a favour?" Anko said looking disheartently at the floor.

"Of course Anko." Sarutobi said seriously.

"Can I be one of the people to guard him?" Anko requested

Sarutobi smiled warmly at her and put a hand on her shoulder. "Of course you can. When you wake up tomorrow, come to the Hokage tower and I'll tell you when your shift starts."

"Arigato Hokage-sama." Anko said in a happier voice then she has since the incident. She then took off the coat, and left the room, leaving the Hokage and Daichi alone.

The Sandaime turned to the doctor and asked his question, "Is he going to have any brain damage or will his little friend help him?"

"I do not think the boy will have any mental damage or anything that will handicap him. When he came into the hospital, parts of his spine were cracked, probably broken before coming here, and now there is nothing wrong with them. Other parts of his body are doing the same thing. The only thing noticeable is that not all the cuts will be completely healed." Daich informed Sarutobi.

His then looked like something left a bad taste in his mouth. "They will leave scars once they do, making his arms, legs, and back covered in them. He was able to protect his face and the front part of his upper body, but if you were to look at the scars when he grows up, it would look like he went through a war zone. I believe his friend is more worried about internal damage then appearance, and put most of the energy there. I suggest you get Jiraiya-sama to check the seal to make sure there are no damages." Daichi posed.

"I would but he said he wanted to investigate something that looked suspicious. He's most likely going to be delayed by 2 weeks or a month. Till then take his physical, and update me on his condition whenever you find something new." the Third ordered.

"Hai Hokage-sama." Daichi said with a bow.

(Hyuuga compound)

"Well is he still alive?" Hiashi asked calmly, not caring either way.

"Hai Hiashi-sama. He was taken to the hospital and is still alive. I even watched from afar and saw his heart was beating steadily." A man said in front of Hiashi kneeling.

"And what of Danzo's ANBU who was shadowing the demon before the fight?" Hiashi inquired.

"He left as soon as he noticed there were too many people." the man said, taking off his mask and showing his white eyes.

"Excellent, you did nicely. You may retire to your house to rest now." Hiashi said. The man nodded his head and left the room. "If you think I could be fooled so easily Danzo-sama then you will be pleasantly surprised tonight."

"I see... so the enemies of my enemy are now each other's enemies... does this mean they are my enemy because theyaretheenemyofmyenemy,andallhisenemiesarenowenemiesmakingmeanenemyofhisenemies,sinceI'mhisenemy?... (They are the enemy of my enemy, and all his enemies are now enemies making me an enemy of his enemies, since I'm his enemy?)." he quickly mumbled.

"Well no matter, I'll see how Hiashi's plan works out for now. If it goes against what I want I'll just change it." a spiralled masked man said.

"Riiiight." a man said whose head was split in two shades, white and black. He then began to whisper to himself, "What did he say? How should I know? You think it's important? If it was I think he would say it in a language we could understand."

"Zetsu, I need you to keep tabs on Hiashi while I go out. Can you do it?" the man asked.

"Hai. Hai." the two voices mingled at once somehow.

"Perfect. Well then I'm off, I need to go back to work." the man said and then disappeared.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

A/N: Ok again this lasted a little longer then what I expected, but at least it's not as long as the last one. I'm sorry for going back and forward between the times, it even confused me for a bit when I was writing it, but I think I sort of indicated at what point in time each scene is in.

Originally this was supposed to show up to Hinata's birthday and a little further than that, but when I was making a list of all the scenes I would have to write I decided to cut it down. (Well at least I know what to write for the next 2-3 chapters).

It was just a coincidence that I noticed Kakashi had a mission this year, if you don't believe me look it up. I thought I'd give him some lame excuse like wanting to mourn for his dead sensei on this day but this worked out better. (I downloaded Naruto the first movie again after so many years for a possible idea I had for the story and noticed that he saved princess Koyuki 10 years ago meaning Naruto was either 2-3 at the time.)

As you noticed I made a couple of new moves, but please note that I do not treat these moves like magic and there will be an explanation for how they work and for some, how they were able to come up with it. It's not like I taught a genin Doton: Yomi Numa within a month's time when it wasn't even their element and had no elemental training before hand. (Although I still love the story Team 8, it is pretty much one of my favorites and one of the reasons to why I wrote this. I just have issues with the fact Naruto can do water, thunder, and earth moves without any kind of training on how to manipulate his chakra that way. It's not like he has a doujutsu to see chakra and already had elemental training with a different element.) -- I'm going to get my ass kicked for bad mouthing Team 8 aren't I.

If you don't agree with the fact that Naruto is three and knows how to communicate with people at this level well be mad. I don't really know how many words a three year old should know because I'm not three, so I just talked to my three year old cousin in Persian, then translated the words and used those words plus words from the Naruto world to make up Naruto and Hinata's vocabulary.

Japanese words

I think most of you know this but Otou-san means father and Okaa-san means mother, and kids will shorten them by taking out the O making it sound more informal.

Also konnichiwa means hello or good afternoon, ohayo gozaimasu means good morning, konbanwa means good evening and oyasumi nasai means good night.

Jutsu list (for jutsu I made up and ones that you don't see that often.)

Doton: Nebukai Hebi - Earth Style: Deep Rooted Snake: requires a serpent to use. When a serpent has coiled itself around something, its head and tail will dig into the earth but still be coiled around the object it has captured and turn to stone, effectively sticking it to the ground.

Mokuton: Shichuhaji no Jutsu - Wood Style: Four Pillar Grasp Technique: Four pillars of wood come out of the ground, they then grow branches out from the pillars in a shape that somewhat resembles a hand. Each post can produce up to 2 hands.

Mokuton: Moku Jodomu - Wood Style: Wood Locking Dome: Like Mokuton: Moku Joheki (Wood Style: Wood Locking Wall) but two of them and back to back. It's the jutsu Tenzo (Yamato is the name he was given by Tsunade when he joined team 7) used to protect himself from projectiles of wood, rocks and other stuff Naruto blasted when he let out 4 tails.

Uwabami Kankaku - Python Sense: Ok this I want to keep secret for now until it comes up later on. I will give hints. If you think it just gives her eyes like a snake, well you're an idiot because I would have called it something like hebigan if it did. It gives the user special traits as you can guess, but this is not something hereditary, or an experiment. The rest you will just have to guess, but if you look up stuff on wiki you could probably guess what it does. Oh one more hint Uwabami means Python but it also means boa and anaconda, I just chose python cause it sounded better :P

Karamuhakke Rokujuyon Sho - Entwining of the Eight Trigrams 64 Palms: Another move I'd like to keep secret, but give hints too. She used a weaker version of this move earlier in the chapter against Kimyou and she was able to use it from roof when people were on the ground so you know it is a close to mid range attack. I will give an explanation of how this works later on but if I tell it to you now then it won't feel special anymore. Also please remember that the people in the mob were weak so it is not an ultimate move that can kill any at once or something like that.

Notes:

1. In the beginning of this story there were 3 people that Naruto saw, but I didn't mention their names. Although I'm sure you probably already figured it out, here is a list of who they are: the crying man was Kakashi, the guy with the cigarette was Asuma, and you know who the last one was.

2 Takoyaki is a treat in Japan. They are octopus dumplings. Look it up on Google for a picture.
