Forest Village

The small village protected by the forest was peaceful today. Children were playing with each other while their parents were working on their daily task. It was a peaceful village unknown to everyone who lives in the Village of Konoha, Suna, Rain, Sound, etc. why do you ask? Well, this particular village was created by the forest itself. People who got lost ended up living in the village that the forest created and thus made a small population of human beings that lived there. Okay, so our story starts here.

One of the huts inside the village was being swarmed by kids around 5 to 6 years old. They were waiting for their teacher to teach and play with them. Each kid was shouting their teacher's name with excitement. A minute later, the door of the hut opened and revealed their teacher.

"Naru-sensei!" Every kid shouted and jumped at their blond teacher resulting for them to scattered on the floor.

A warm laugh filled the place and then the kids joined laughing. It has been 10 years since their Naru-sensei came to their place and they were happy that someone like Naru-sensei decided to stay with them and teach them his learning's from his old village.

"What a way to greet your sensei this morning!" their Naru-sensei said after laughing.

"Naru-sensei, what are we going to do today?" a boy with blond hair asked.

Naru-sensei smiled at the said boy and fondled the boy's hair. Amongst his students the said boy was like a son to him maybe because the said boy was an orphan that reminded Naru-sensei about his past.

"Well, we are going to visit the forest's sacred lake and clean it then make our wish today." Naru-sensei said and slowly rises from the ground.

"Will it really make our wish come true?" a girl asked.

"Why yes, if each one of you will be good to your parents this year then the lake will definitely grant your wish whatever it is." Naru-sensei said and glanced at the boy who asked him a question a while ago.

"Okay! Everyone meet me at the center of the village after 10 minutes after you tell your parents where we are going." Naru-sensei said and smiled at the kids before they dash out of his house.

After the kids left except the blond boy, Naru-sensei walked towards him and kneeled down in front of the boy.

"What's wrong, Tsuna (1)?" he asked.

"Will the lake really grant my wish?" the boy named Tsuna asked.

Naru-sensei smiled and placed his hand on Tsuna's head, "What is your wish, Tsuna?" he asked.

Tsuna looked at him then quickly bow his head. Naru-sensei smiled when he saw the boy grip his shorts a habit of his when the said boy was nervous. Before Naru-sensei could speak again Tsuna told him what his wish was.

"What did you say, Tsuna?" he asked since the boy whispered his wish.

"I want Naru-sensei to become my father." Tsuna said in a clearer voice.

Naru-sensei was completely shock to what Tsuna said. He never would have guessed that the boy would want him to be his father.

"Can't you?" he heard Tsuna asked.

Naru-sensei smiled and slowly reaches out for Tsuna to hug the boy. He was really happy that the boy wanted him to become his father.

"I'll be very happy to have you as my son." He said and then released Tsuna from his grasp and looked at the said boy.

"Really?" Tsuna asked with a disbelieving look, "Will you really become my father?" the boy once again ask.

Naru-sensei grinned and teased his soon-to-become son, "Don't you want me to be your dad?" he asked.

"You're serious!" Tsuna shouted in a cheerful tone, "Yes! I have a father!" he was jumping up and down that made Naru-sensei laugh because of the boy's act.

"Okay! Stop!" Naru-sensei said as he held Tsuna's shoulder to stop the boy from jumping. "After our trip to the lake I'll bring you to our Village Leader and Kira (2) to ask them to make you my legal son, okay?" he said.

"Yes! Chichiue (3)!" Tsuna shouted and held Naru-sensei's hand as they went out of Naru-sensei's house.

Forest Lake

The kids were picking up dry leaves and some branches around the lake and placed them at one place where Tsuna was standing. He looked at his Chichiue, Naru-sensei, who was at the left side of the lake helping some kids pull a log from the lake. He sighs and pokes the dry leaves with a stick when he heard one of his friend call his name.

Tsuna ran towards a group of boys and asked them what the problem is. He saw them nervously glancing behind the bushes and heard a small whimper behind it. He glanced at Naru-sensei and saw him looking towards them, with a blink of an eye, he saw his Chichiue in front of them.

"What's up guys?" his Chichiue ask and glanced behind the bushes.

Tsuna saw his Chichiue's lips form a smile. He was confused and was about to ask his Chichiue what was behind the bushes when they heard a small blast occurred.

In one swift movement Tsuna and his other classmates were carried by his Chichiue's Kage Bunshin (4) up on the trees while he saw his Chichiue looking around the place.

Naruto scanned the place as his shadow clones secure all of his students up on the trees. It seems like someone has entered the forest and was walking towards the lake.

"What do we have here?" he heard someone say.

"It seems like I'm not the only one who is lost." Then the owner of the voice came out of the shadows.

Naruto became serious and point his kunai at the said person. No one could have known the place since the forest has some sort of magic that makes intruders get lost in their way and ends up dead.

"Who are you?" he ask and checked the intruder and saw his forehead protector, "What's a Mist Ninja doing here?" he asked again.

"My, my, it seems like you know some things about the ninja world." The mist ninja sneered and looks up, "I guess you must be some sort of teacher to have many students with you here." The ninja said and looks at Naruto.

"Leave now or I'll kill you myself!" Naruto warned and silently ordered his Bunshin's to take the kids back to the village for safety.

The ninja seriously looked at Naruto, "You're no ordinary teacher if you could use such a technique like that." He said, "Tell me where your village is then I could-" before the ninja could finish his sentence, Naruto had already killed him in a blink of an eye.

"H-h-h-o-o-o-w-w?" the Mist Ninja asks after coughing blood.

Naruto calmly took out his hand from the Ninja's chest before answering, "Because you were annoying." He said and did some hand seals.

After he finished performing his hand seals the ninja's body was swallow up by a dark red flame. Naruto just watched the scene without showing any emotions. He had long enough killed his emotions when it comes to fighting with enemies to protect someone dear to him.

"But you still didn't kill your emotion when it comes to love right?"

Naruto closed his eyes and smiled tiredly at no one.

"You know the answer, Kyuubi." He said to no one in particular but to his mind.

"And that is why you left Konoha…" Kyuubi said.

"I'm such a coward, huh?" Naruto chuckle and looks at the burning body in front of him.

"Don't you think 10 years is enough?" Kyuubi asked, "Are you still thinking about them?"

"Sometimes…" Naruto answered truthfully and turns his back to the burning body.

"Kit, I think you are strong enough to face them." Kyuubi explained, "You are strong enough to face them with a stoic face." He said.

"Are you saying I'm like him now that I have a stoic face?" he chuckled at what Kyuubi said.

"I'm saying that you are not the same Naruto they have once known." Kyuubi reason out, "And now that you have Tsuna with you, I think that-"

"Oh, so you were awake when Tsuna told me that he wants me as his father?" Naruto asked as he walks back to his village.

"Kit, come on." Kyuubi almost whine but he was a demon and demons don't whine. "You can't hide forever, you know." He said.

"They haven't found me for 10 years now and you say they'll find me now?" Naruto asked incredulously.

"It's because of the forest's magic!" Kyuubi snarled, "But it is getting weaker." He said.

"What do you mean?" Naruto stopped on his tracks.

"How come that Mist Ninja didn't get lost?" Kyuubi asked.

"He was just lucky that-"

"The forest doesn't let any evil souls pass through its barrier Naruto and you know it." Kyuubi said.

"So what are you saying exactly?" Naruto was getting annoyed at Kyuubi, "Go back to Konoha and leave everyone here who is almost my family from people like that Mist Ninja?" he asked.

"I'm saying that you tell the Village Leader what is happening and convince him and the other villagers to come with you to Konoha." Kyuubi answered.

"Not Konoha." Naruto said, "Maybe Gaara might-"

"Naruto!" Kyuubi shouted, "You are going back to Konoha and that's final!"

"As if you could force-"

A big blast occurred before Naruto could finish what he was saying. He felt a chill run all over his body and then without even thinking twice he teleported back to his village.

"I think that's your answer." Kyuubi answered.

Forest Village

The village was on fire when Naruto arrived. He saw some of his clones fighting the intruders while some were helping the villagers escape as well as protect them. Naruto looked around to see if Tsuna was alright, he sigh when he saw his son behind one of his clone while fighting one Ninja.

Naruto threw his kunai at the ninja and ran towards his clone and Tsuna. He hugged Tsuna tightly while the boy cried.

"It's okay," he whispered, "Chichiue's here now." He said and looks at his clone. "How many?" he asked.

"Too many for you to handle." His clone answered, "We have to escape." His clone said.

Naruto bit his lower lip as if he was against what his clone said. After all, this village was like a home to him now and to leave it like this was unfair.

"Still, we have to stop them…" Naruto said and glanced down at Tsuna, "Otherwise, they'll come after us."

"Where are the other villagers?" he asked.

"Most of them are being guided by your other clones." His clone said and blocks some shurikens that come their way.

Naruto nods and carries Tsuna. "Did someone died?" he asked.

"Just 5 villagers." His clone said and took Tsuna from Naruto.

"Chichiue!" Tsuna shouted when his clone took him.

"Don't worry Tsuna, Chichiue will be fine." He said and caresses Tsuna's hair. "I just have to make sure that you and the others leave this place safely." He said and turned his back. "You know where to bring them, right?" he asked his clone.

"Yes." He heard his clone answered and then ran to where the others were.

Naruto scanned the place that was his home for 10 years and now it was destroyed because of some ninja's. Naruto sighs and closed his eyes to cover the unpleasant scene in front of him.

"What do you want Kit?" Kyuubi asked when he sensed his Kit's anger rising.

Naruto opened his eyes and saw that most of the ninja's were 20 feet away from him. Most of them were grinning like maniacs which made Naruto's anger explode.

"Look at what we have here!!!" one ninja said while acting silly, "A villager who is brave enough to face us!" after saying that laughter filled the place.

"Make sure no one escapes, Kyuubi." Naruto whispered.

"Alright Kit." Kyuubi said and grinned.

A massive chakra went out of Naruto's body making the other ninja's step back. Before they could even register what was happening they were already trap inside of the chakra barrier that came out of Naruto's body.

"Who are y-y-you?" one of the ninja's asked.

Naruto coolly looks at the ninja that asked him who he was and place his hand on his temple and brush off his hair.

"I'm disappointed that no one ever remembered who I was after the incident between Konoha and Akatsuki." Naruto said calmly.

"No way!" another ninja said, "You can't be-"

Naruto appeared in front of that ninja and smirked evilly towards the shaking ninja.

"Cat got your tongue?" Naruto asked.

Before the ninja could get away from Naruto he was already sliced in half when he turned around to run. The other ninja's were shouting and tried to escape but they were pushed back by the barrier surrounding the place.

Naruto side turns and glance at the other ninja's calmly. He slowly walked towards them and raised his blood covered hand.

"It's no use…" he told them as he slowly reached them, "Once my barrier surrounds the place, no one can escape." He licks the blood on his hand and grimace. "His blood is tainted." Naruto said and looks at the other ninja's and smirk.

"You guys are that scared?" he asked, "You guys pissed your pants!" Naruto laughs. "What is happening to the ninja world?!" he chuckled and sighs, "Just because you guys thought that Akatsuki is gone doesn't mean that you've got the right to attack other villages like this one."

The ninja's fell on their knees and asked Naruto to set them free and that they'll never attack his village again. Naruto glares at them and squats before them. The ninja's looks up to him hopefully but they shivered when they met Naruto's cold stare.

"You should have thought about that before attacking my home." Naruto said.

The next thing that happened was all the ninja's that attack the village, were cut into halves and their blood covered the ground.

Naruto slowly turns his back and released the barrier that surrounds the place.

"The fire will destroy the village." Kyuubi said.

"I know…" Naruto said as he took off his gloves that were covered with blood and also his long-sleeved shirt leaving him with his sleeveless shirt.

"So…" Kyuubi teased.

"Shut it Kyuubi." Naruto snarled and teleported to where his clones and the villagers were.

Naruto appeared in front of his clone and nodded his head as a greeting. He took Tsuna from his arms when he saw his son sleeping.

"Naruto-san!" he heard the Village Leader call out his name.

Naruto told his clone to guard the villagers before he faced the Village Leader.

"What is going to happen now, Naruto-san?" Naruto could sense the grief and worry from the Village Leader and pats his Village Leader's shoulder.

"Don't worry, Hizen-sama (5)." Naruto said, "We could…" he gulps and continued, "go to my old village and ask the Hokage to let you all live there." He said.

"Hokage? Konoha?" The Village Leader asked, "But we are around 40 or so, will the Hokage really accept us, Naruto-san?"

Naruto nods and smiles, "I'm sure she will, after all…" Naruto looks at the road towards Konoha, "She sees me as her grandson." He said.

"Naru-sensei…" Naruto looks down and saw his entire students look at him.

"Yes?" he kneels down and gave them a warm smile.

"Will those guys come after us?" one girl asked.

Naruto sincerely pats her head and looks at the villagers who were also waiting for his answer. He smiled at them also.

"I'll protect you all if that ever happens." He said which made the entire villagers sigh in relief.

"Chichiue…" he heard Tsuna murmured and smiled when his son snuggled in his shoulder.

"I heard from your clone that you want Tsuna to be your son?" the Village Leader asked.

"Yes..." Naruto said and glanced at Kira who was helping some injured lady walk.

"You don't have to worry about it…" the Village Leader said and pats Naruto's shoulder, "Kira and his wife would be happy if you adopt Tsuna." He said, "After all, they wanted to find someone who'll make Tsuna happy."

Naruto smiled and thanked the Village Leader before walking in front accompanied by his students to lead the way to Konoha.

"Are you ready, Kit?" Kyuubi asked.

"In your dreams Kyuubi." Naruto whispered and ignored the Kyuubi's chuckle.

"Don't worry Kit," Kyuubi said, "They are the ones who'll regret ever hurting you…" he said.

"Oh really?" Naruto couldn't help but sound sarcastic, "And what makes you say that?" he asked.

"Hey! I've lived my life for almost a hundred or more!" Kyuubi snarled, "Just act cold towards them. That should be easy for you, right?" he asked.

"Yeah…" Naruto lazily answered.

"So are you excited?" Kyuubi teased.

"Ecstatic." Naruto grimly answered.

"You're no fun!" Kyuubi sneered.

"I'll take that as a compliment." Naruto sighs and saw the bridge connecting to the borders of Konoha.

"We're almost there everyone." He said and glanced at the villagers. "We'll rest when the moon rises."

"Kit, if I were you, you should take off the barrier that hides you and the villager." Kyuubi said, "You're exhausting yourself."

Naruto knew that Kyuubi was right, but he knew also that the fire would alert Tsunade since their village was just 9 hours of travel towards the village of Konoha. He didn't want any Konoha Ninja's to see or sense them.

Konoha

Tsunade stared at Kakashi and Captain Yamato when they came back from checking a particular place this morning.

"It seems like a small village was attacked by some Mist Ninja." Kakashi reported.

"I see," Tsunade sighs, "Were there any survivors?" she asked.

"That's the weird thing, Tsunade-sama…" Captain Yamato said.

Tsunade looks at him with a confused look, "What do you mean, Yamato?"

"We saw no survivors but we saw the corpses of the Mist Ninja's and 5 villagers." Captain Yamato answered.

"We think that someone had protected the other villagers and were hiding right now for safety." Kakashi said.

"I see…" Tsunade said and sighs, "You two may go, and I'll call some Anbu troops to investigate this matter."

"It might be best if you call Kiba for this matter, Tsunade-sama." Kakashi suggest.

"I know Kakashi…" Tsunade said and glanced at Shizune after Kakashi and Captain Yamato walked out of her office.

"Shizune, call Kiba, Neji and Hinata." She said, "I'll have them and their teams investigate this matter."

"Hai Tsunade-sama." Shizune said and went out of her office.

Night Time

Naruto was leaning against the tree while his other clones were guarding the small area where they were resting. The children have already fall asleep while some villagers stayed up and asked Naruto to rest but he decline. Tsuna was looking at his Chichiue worriedly, he knew that his Chichiue was exhausted but he still kept his clones to protect them.

"Tsuna…" Tsuna flinched when he heard his Chichiue called out his name. He glanced and saw his Chichiue smiling at him.

"Don't worry. I'll rest when we arrive at Konoha." Naruto said and placed his hand on top of Tsuna's head and carefully caressed his son's hair.

"Chichiue…" Tsuna whispered and his eyes began to fall pulling him to sleep.

Naruto smiled and then looks at the moon above them.

"You worry too much Kit." Kyuubi said.

"Can you blame me?" he asked tiredly.

"I guess not…" Kyuubi said.

Naruto sighs and wished that morning wouldn't come fast.
