"Mine's Naruto," the blonde said reaching out his hand. The girl looked at it for a second before she smiled and took it. When she did Naruto got up with a smile on his face. "Want to hang out?" He asked looking at her.

When he asked this the girl seemed a little shocked but nodded nonetheless. "Alright cool, what do you want to do first?" Naruto asked looking at the female in front of him. She was quite for a moment before she looked at him and smiled.

"Let's just walk around town and then if we find something fun to do how about we do that." The green haired female that Naruto now knew as Fuu suggested looking at him.

"Yeah sounds great," Naruto said looking at her. The girl in front of him nodded when he said this and the two walked off the docks with the fox following closely behind the two of them.

As the two walked down the streets Naruto smiled as he followed alongside Fuu. However as he did he noticed something rather odd it was just an overall strange feeling he was getting it was familiar and for whatever reason he didn't like it.

As the two walked down the street the blonde noticed that Fuu had been quite so far which meant that she too also felt whatever this feeling was. Naruto being the curious young child he was looked around and saw that everyone was staring at him like they used to. Their eyes were all filled with hate and disgust like before.

He stayed silent for a couple more minutes and just listened and he heard what he had heard all his life they were all whispering behind his back. He then paid extra close attention to what they were saying. However when he did he noticed some key differences in what they were saying some differences that made it very clear that they weren't talking about him.

"There she goes again," He heard a female voice say.

"Yeah, what a freak. It's no wonder her parents left her when she was a baby," He heard another female respond.

"That stupid bitch has no place hanging out with that young man and corrupting his innocence," He heard a man say. It then became quite clear to him that they weren't talking about him. They were talking about the female that he was with, they were talking about Fuu. He then looked around once again to look at the people that he was passing.

He then noticed that their stares weren't directed at him. In fact, they seemed to almost completely ignore him and go straight to Fuu. Naruto then looked at Fuu as they stopped in front of a house. It looked a lot like the apartment that the Hokage had given him back in Konoha. "This is my home," Fuu said looking at the blonde in front of her.

A moment of silence fell behind them before Fuu finally spoke up again. "I know it's not much to look at, but it's a place to call my home," Fuu said looking at him.

"I think it looks nice," Naruto said looking at her. When he said this it brought a smile to the young females face. "Would you like to come inside?" Fuu asked looking at him. When she asked this Naruto smiled and nodded.

"Yeah that sounds nice," Naruto said as he looked at her. Fuu then walked forward and unlocked the door. She then went in with Naruto following close behind her. Naruto then turned around to look for Kitsune but when he did he found that no one was there. He looked around for a second before he heard Fuu's voice call out to him.

"Naruto are you okay?" Fuu asked looking at him. Naruto shrugged off the thought not being able to find Kitsune and turned around to look at Fuu shutting the door behind him. However if he had spent just a bit more time looking he would have found that the fox he had come to know as Kitsune was just on the side of the house.

It sat down and looked at it's now fully healed paw before it let out a sigh. "You're one interesting kid. Not many people would help a wild animal. I guess my apology is good enough and from what I can tell it's been accepted. I took you to the land of water and gave you a new life and stayed with you until you found a new friend. I consider that good enough of an apology for biting you." The fox that Naruto knew as Kitsune said.

He then placed his paw on the ground and some light blue chakra gather around it before a complex design spread across the ground. "Naruto huh? Well, your kind hearted, strong, and most importantly you seem to care for you friends. You meet almost all of the qualifications to become our new summon master the only one you're missing is being an actual ninja. However time can also change people let's see if you're still the same as you are right now in a few years or so." The fox said before he slowly walked over the design and disappeared in a puff of smoke as well as the design also disappearing.

However, Naruto was still currently inside the house looking at how neatly kept everything inside was. "Wow, Fuu this place is awesome. Your parents must be amazing at keeping this place clean," Naruto said looking at her however when he said this he saw Fuu's face become slightly more pale.

"I don't live with my parents," The green haired female said looking at him.

"Really then is it your grandparents or maybe you live with your aunt and uncle," Naruto said looking at her however when he said this she once again nodded her head.

"I live here all by myself," She said looking at him.

"Really?" Naruto then became a little regretful as he started to realize just how similar the two of them were. 'She's all alone just like I was. Why is that? Does every village just have someone that they hate for no reason?' Naruto thought to himself as he looked at her.

"W-what do I have something on my face?" Fuu asked starting to feel around for anything that felt a little unusual. Naruto then blushed slightly as he realized that he had been staring at her this entire time.

"N-no it's fine. I was just lost in thought was all," Naruto said looking at the female in front of her.

"Oh okay then," Fuu said as she sat down on the couch. Naruto then smiled and took the seat behind her. When he did a few moments of silence passed however this silence was much more solid thick than the others were. It was so thick in fact that a not even a well-trained ninja could cut through it. After a minute had passed it like before was Fuu that broke the silence.

"You noticed it didn't you?" She asked looking at him.

"Noticed what?" Naruto asked looking at the female that was beside him.

"You know the stares. . . the stares that the villagers were giving me when we were walking through town earlier today." Fuu said avoiding eye contact. Naruto tensed up as she said this but then relaxed and looked at the ground in front of him from where he was sitting.

"Yeah I did," Naruto said looking at her.

"What did you think about it?" Fuu asked now looking at him slightly worried. Naruto was quite for a moment before he finally spoke up.

"I think that they need to mind their own business. I mean what does it matter what you're doing with me. It really bugged me and frankly, they need to just back off," Naruto said looking at her. When he said this it brought a smile to the young girls face. It was once again silent for a moment before Fuu looked at him.

"D-Do you really mean that?" She asked looking at him.

"Yeah of course I do. Like I just said wh-" Naruto didn't get to finish his sentence as he felt two arms wrap around him and embrace his figure tightly. When he felt this he tensed up he wasn't used to such contact the only one that he ever really had contact with was the third Hokage and he never really hugged him. He was unsure of what do right now, but he eventually relaxed his muscles and wrapped his arms around her and held her close to him.

After a moment of hugging Naruto once again heard Fuu's voice. "You're the first person to have ever said that to me. I-I really appreciate it Naruto." Fuu said looking at him. It was then quite for a moment and Fuu finally separated from him. "If there's ever anything I can do for you just let me know," Fuu said looking at him.

Naruto was quite for a moment before he gave it some thought and realized something. He didn't have anywhere to live. This entire time of being here and traveling he never once thought about where he was going to live when he did finally find somewhere where the people didn't treat him like crap. "W-well I don't exactly have anywhere to stay right now. So could you maybe help me find somewhere to stay?" Naruto asked looking at her.

When he asked this the green haired female smiled and almost instantly said, "YOU CAN LIVE HERE WITH ME!" Fuu yelled out much louder than she had meant to. "I-I means that's only if you want too, of course," She said looking at him. Naruto then smiled when he heard this.

"Yeah that sounds great," Naruto said looking at her. When he said this Fuu smiled and looked at him.

"Great now all we need to do is go and tell Shibuki that you'll be staying here with me. Since it'd be pretty awkward if you were to be accused of breaking and entering when you live here too." Fuu said looking at him. Naruto nodded when he heard this and followed behind her as she left the building. As the two were walking down the streets Fuu noticed something rather odd.

"Hey, Naruto where are your parents?" Fuu asked looking at him. When she asked this a moment of silence fell upon them but passed as soon as it came.

"Well the thing is I don't really have any parents I came here all by myself," Naruto said looking at her. However as soon as he said this Fuu felt regret almost immediately she knows the pain of not having parents and how difficult it can be to talk about.

"O-Oh I'm so sorry if I brought up some bad memories." Fuu said looking at him.

"It's okay there's really no need to apologize. I mean I never had any parents or parental figures so it's hard for me to really get mad about something that I wouldn't know anything about at someone who knew nothing about it. It just seems really silly," Naruto said looking at her. When he said this Fuu smiled and continued to walk down the street.

When they once again arrived at the massive tree in the middle of the village the two entered and Naruto once again noticed that the girl from behind the counter never left. "Oh hello nice to see you again Naruto." She said looking at the blonde however when her eyes fell upon Fuu her smile faded. "I guess I should have known you'd come back here today," She said looking at Fuu.

The two went silent at this comment and walked up the stairs. Once they reached the top Naruto knocked on the door in front of him and Fuu. When he did he heard a muffled voice say "Come in," When the two heard this they walked into the room.

"Ahh Naruto and Fuu what can I do for the two of you?" The male asked looking at the two of them.

"Well, I wanted to know if it was okay if Naruto came to live with me?" Fuu asked looking at the teen in front of her. The teen then took a pose that suggested that he was thinking.

He then looked at the blonde in front of him. "Are you okay with living with Fuu Naruto? If you are then I can start on the paperwork right now and once I get it finished then you'll be able to live with Fuu." The teen said looking at the young figure in front of him. When Naruto heard this he smiled and nodded his head.

"Yeah I'd like to live with Fuu. We have so much in common and I'm sure we'll get along great," Naruto said looking at the teen figure in front of him. The male then thought about it for a moment before he nodded and pulled out a new stack of paperwork. It wasn't very much maybe five papers total.

"Alright well if you two could wait just a moment while I get everything set up then you'll be good to go," Shibuki said looking at them. The two then nodded and walked over to the side of the room and watched as he began to work on some paper. They watched as he began to slowly move the papers aside one by one.

When he got to the last paper he looked at the two young figures that were in front of him and smiled. "Alright well now all I need you two to do is sign this paper and then the two of you will legally be allowed to live together," The male said looking at the two young figures in front of him. However when he said this a figure wearing a black cloak with a cat shaped mask walked into the room.

"Who are you?" Shibuki asked looking at the strange figure in front of him. The man said nothing as he slowly walked forward and looked at the two small figures in front of him. "Danzo said to obtain the one with spiky blonde hair and blue eyes." The male said as he reached for Naruto.

"Woah buddy I don't know who you are, but you can't just come here and kidnap citizens that belong to my village." Shibuki said looking at him. However as soon ad the masked figure looked at him Shibuki quickly hid behind a small the chair that was in front of his desk and began to push the panic button that was on the back of his chair.

"You can't just take Naruto," Fuu said looking at the tall figure in front of her.

"I can and will for I have been instructed to take him by any means that I find suitable for dealing with this situation." The man said looking at the small figure in front of him. The door to Shibuki's office then suddenly flew open. When the masked figure heard this he dashed forward and grabbed Naruto. The strange figure then jumped out of the window of Shibuki's office.

When he did the three ninjas that had burst in ran over to Shibuki that was at the moment still cowering behind his chair. "Lord Shibuki are you alright?" One of them asked as he began to examine the man in front of him for cuts and bruises. "I'm fine to make sure Fuu alright then sends out a search party to find whoever that man was and get Naruto back," Shibuki said.

However when he did the ninja began to look around for Fuu they were surprised not to see her in the room. They looked around before they sighed and left the room. "We'll worry about Fuu later right now we have to make sure that no harm has come to Naruto," The male said before leaving the room when he did Shibuki sighed and got up before looking out the window.

He saw no sign that the ninja had even been there other than the shattered pieces of glass on the ground. He then sighed and walked over to his desk and clenched his still racing heart. "I really don't think all this excitement suits me," He said as he looked at the small stack of paperwork that was on his desk. "I hope Naruto's okay," Shibuki said aloud as he began to once again do his paperwork.

With Naruto

The young blonde was trying to yell at his current capture, but he had made sure this wasn't possible. He did this by stuffing a large ball of cloth inside the young blondes mouth then making sure he couldn't spit that ball out by wrapping another piece of cloth around his mouth. He also used a rather short rope to tie his hands.

However, the male that was carrying the young blonde suddenly stopped. He then placed the young blonde in front of a fireplace. When he did he saw another figure wearing a black cloak and like the other had a car mask on it. "What are you doing? We weren't supposed to get him until tomorrow." A female voice said behind the mask.

"I know but come on the villages security was so bad all I did was practically walk in and take him. Not to mention that they're probably too worried about that Shibuki fellow to have even followed me. I'd say that all in all I did a good job and we can now return one day early than what we were supposed to," The male said looking at the female figure in front of him.

"Alright whatever but if we get in trouble again, this time, you're taking the blame and not me," The female said looking at the male in front of her. The male nodded when he heard this and looked at the young blonde that at the moment was currently trying to escape. He then sighed and stood on the end of the rope that wasn't wrapped around the blonde's hands.

"Kid just give up you're coming with us whether you like it or not," The male said looking at him. When he said this Naruto sighed and stopped struggling. The two adults that were in front of Naruto then began to talk to one another. However as he sat there looking at them he heard a rather odd noise. He looked around and saw bush however he then saw a shade of green that didn't match the rest of the bushes green color.

Naruto smiled when he saw this knowing only one person that hair could belong to and soon enough his suspicion were confirmed as he saw a set of orange eyes and a rather familiar face. She then made a gesture that meant she wanted him to come over to her. However, Naruto knew that trying to go over there would prove to be pointless. So he just moved to the side and pointed at the ropes.

When Fuu saw this she grew a little depressed however she then heard what sounded like footsteps in the distance. She then smiled and disappeared much to Naruto's distress. She then followed the sound she had heard and was happy when she saw a familiar face with long blonde hair that came down to the back of her knees wearing a Takigakure headband. She then ran up to them and smiled.

"Thank goodness you are here you need to . . ." Fuu didn't get to finish her sentence as the blonde interrupted her.

"Fuu what are you doing here? You shouldn't be this far away from the village it's dangerous," She said looking at her, however, she quickly remembered why she was out here in the first place. "Never mind that we need to find someone who came to the village today. His name is Naruto he has blonde hair and blue eyes so keep a look out for him he was kidnapped for unknown reasons," The taller blonde said looking at her.

"That's what I wanted to tell you. I know where Naruto is, I followed the people that took him away out here." The green haired female said looking up at the girl that was currently in front of her.

"What? Really? Then show me where they are that way I can gather my team and we can beat them up." The female said looking down at the child in front of her. When she did Fuu nodded and walked over to the bush she had just left however when she got close to the bush she had been in she got quite and pointed to it. "They're just behind that bush," she said looking at her.

The tall blonde then nodded and walked past the bush making herself known to her two enemies. When the two finally took notice of her they rose up off the ground and looked at her. "Who are you and what do you want?" The male of the two asked looking at her.

"I am a Shinobi of Takigakure and I have come to reclaim the citizen that you have stolen," She said looking at the two members in front of her. When the two heard this they got closer together and completely hid Naruto from view.

"I'm afraid we can not do that miss. We are very sorry that you wasted the trip here. So if you don't mind please leave," The female said looking at her.

"Well, I'm afraid that I can not do that so how about you just hand him ov-" The girl was silenced as she felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck. As soon as she felt this pain she knew what it meant and she could do nothing about it. She just sighed as she felt her body slowly fall towards the ground and watched as her vision faded to black.

The third member that had been hidden until then stepped forward and looked at the two in front of him. "I think we should leave if one of them knows our location it's only a matter of time before the others figure out our location as well," The male said looking at them. The two then nodded and the male walked over to Naruto.

Fuu's brain went into overdrive thinking more than it ever had before. She wasn't sure what to do in this situation she was about to lose her first real friend. The first person besides Shibuki that treated her like a human being and not some freak, the only person that asked if she wanted to be friends the first person who wanted to be in her life.

She wasn't sure what to do in the least so she did the first thing that came to her mind. She stepped out of the bush she had been hiding in and yelled "WAIT!" she, of course, had not thought this through all the way so when the three of them turned towards her she was frozen in fear.

"Seems as if we have found another one," The male who had just recently shown up said stepping forward.

"Daichi I don't think that's a good idea. The girl in front of us is Fuu she is the jinchūriki of Takigakure. Killing her would almost be as if we are asking for war and we can not afford a war with our organizations trying to stay hidden within our village," The female said looking at the male that was in front of her. When he heard this he turned to her.

"Really now? Well, I guess you do make a good point we can't afford a war at the moment. Then again we can not afford to just let her leave now that she knows we have Naruto." The male said looking at her. He was then quite for a moment before he looked over at the female once again. "What condition does Naruto need to be returned in again?" He asked looking at her.

"He just needs to be returned alive. Why do you ask Daichi?" The female said looking at him.

"Well if she came all the way out here just to find him then he's obviously important to her right. From the way he was treated before then roughing him up should be no problem. Not to mention I'm sure that she will get the picture to not follow us." He said looking at her. When he said this she nodded and got behind Fuu before she pinned her down to the ground and forced her head into a passion where she was looking straight in front of her.

The leader of the three which she had come to know was named Daichi then brought Naruto in front of her and looked at her. "Listen if you don't stop following us then bad things are going to happen. Things like this," The male said as he drew his kunai from his holster and brought it to Naruto's throat.

'This is the second time in one day I've had a kunai to my throat what give," Naruto thought as he felt the blade sink into his throat slightly.

"Now do understand you to need to stop following us?" He asked looking at her.

"Y-yes I understand I'll stop following you," Fuu said looking at the male that was currently holding a blade to Naruto's throat.

"Hmm I don't think you do," The male said as he brought the blade down to Naruto's side. He then slowly brought the blade into his side. The sudden pain caused Naruto to wince and even let out a slight screech at the new source of pain to enter his body.

"P-PLEASE STOP!" Fuu said looking at the male in front of her. Naruto's eyes started to slowly open as the pain subsided, however, this was short-lived as the male began to twist the Kunai into the wound causing Naruto to scream out slightly. Fuu once again found herself at a loss of what it was she was supposed to do but for whatever reason even though she had never been in this situation before she felt angry at what they were doing.

"Do you understand now? If you continue to follow us his pain will only grow. I know for a fact that neither one of us want that so how about you just turn around and go back to the village." Daichi said looking at Fuu. He then took the blade out of his wound and slammed it into his knee. Fuu felt her body suddenly heat up with anger as she saw him do that and something inside of her just snapped.

"I SAID STOP IT!" Fuu said as she suddenly felt a lot stronger than she had been before. She suddenly turned around to where she was facing the female that was holding her. She then jumped up and moved her body to where her feet were at her captures chest. She then kicked her opponent with all the foce she had which sent both her and her opponent back.

This caused the girl to let out a pained scream. When she did she let out the scream much louder than intended and this, of course, caused the surrounding ninja to hear. When a certain male that Naruto had met in the morning heard the scream in wasted no time in rushing over to where the scream had come from. "Who could be all the way out here? I know we had a visitor earlier today, but this is ridiculous. I just hope that if it's the people that took Naruto that Naruto is alright," The male thought as he dashed through the trees.

However when he got there he came across an unexpected situation. There were three confirmed enemies however each one of them was on the ground and covered in blood. He then saw Fuu looking rather closely at a wound on Naruto's side. "Naruto is it alright? It doesn't hurt does it?" Fuu asked as she reached out for the wound that was on his side.

"Yeah it's fine Fuu it doesn't hurt anymore," Naruto said looking at her.

"Well then how about the one on your leg is it alright? Are you able to stand up?" Fuu asked as she looked at him.

"It hurts a little bit but I'm sure the pain will go away," Naruto said looking at the female in front of him. When he said this Fuu let out a sigh and looked at him with a smile.

"That's good well let's go home Naruto," Fuu said as she got up. When she did she offered Naruto a hand up and he took it with a smile.

"W-what happened here?" The male asked as he looked at the two in front of him.

"You should have seen it Fuu was awesome she kicked all of their butts and they were all freaked out saying something about seal or something like that, but it was just awesome man you really should have seen its firs-" Naruto began and his little rant would have continued if the half-drunken man hadn't put a stop to it.

"Alright, alright that's enough I get the idea," He then took a rather large drink of a bottle of Sake that he had with him and looked at the two in front of him. "Well, you two I was supposed to make sure Naruto was safe and other than a few minor injuries he looks to be just fine so let's head back to the village," The man said watching as the two of them walked by.

The two children then nodded and walked away. The elderly man then heard some rustling and looked to his side to see the girl he had met up with earlier that day. When she came to she looked around and spotted the man. "W-where are the kids?" She asked looking at him.

"They're on their way back to town," The male said looking at her. It wasn't until just now that she noticed the bodies on the ground.

"What happened?" She asked looking at him. The elderly man then sighed and offered her a hand up knowing exactly what had happened.

"I'll explain when we get to Shibuki's office. He's gonna need to hear this too." He said as he helped her up. When she got up she dusted herself off and the two began to move through the trees. As they did they passed over Naruto and Fuu. When the too saw two blurs pass over them they both got a little nervous.

"Let's speed up just a little bit," Fuu suggested looking at Naruto.

"Y-yeah sounds good," Naruto said as the two of them started to run towards the village. As they got there Fuu sighed and looked at Naruto.

"Now let's go make sure that Shibuki is alright," She said looking at him to which she received a nod. However as the two were walking Naruto had a rather strange thought.

"Hey umm Fuu why do we need to go check on Shibuki. I mean I know he leads the village and all, but you were there when the other ninja came into the room so you should know whether or not he is alright," Naruto said looking at her.

"I didn't wait to see if he was okay. When I saw them take you away my first reaction was to run after you," Fuu said looking at the blonde.

"Oh okay well . . . Thanks," Naruto said looking at her. When he did Fuu looked at him a little confused.

"For what I really didn't do anything?" Naruto asked looking at her.

"Didn't do anything? YOU SAVED MY LIFE FUU! You did something for me that I'm not sure anyone else would have," Naruto said looking at her.

"O-oh well, in that case, you're welcome," Fuu said looking at him as the two once again reached the huge tree that was in the middle of the town. When the two arrived in the office Shibuki looked at them with a serious expression on his face.

"Naruto, Fuu I need to talk to the two of you," Shibuki said looking at the two of them. When he said this the two that were also in the room with him left and shut the door behind them. "Please sit down Naruto, I have something to tell you about what you saw tonight," When he said this Naruto nodded and got a seat Fuu, however, became nervous and stood there for a moment before she also took a seat.

"Well Naruto about what you saw tonight about what happened with Fuu," Shibuki started, however, came to pause seeing that Fuu was nervous and also shaking. "No first off Naruto I want to tell you some things first so that you better understand the situation," Shibuki said looking at them.

"Oh okay well what is it?" The blonde asked looking at him.

"First off what I am about to tell you should not change what you think of Fuu in any way. I want you to try and think of her the same way you did before I told you this and if you do think of her differently then I want you to promise that you will remain her friend," Shibuki said looking at the blonde in front of him.

"Of course, I'd always be Fuu's friend she's a great person," Naruto said looking at the teen figure in front of him.

"Alright well, that's good to hear. Now I have something else I would like to tell you before I continue any further. Naruto if you put a tiger inside a cage what happens to the cage?" Shibuki asked looking at the blonde in front of him. When he asked this Naruto was quite trying to think of a possible answer. Upon his silence, Shibuki smiled and looked at him. "That's right Naruto nothing happens. Now sometimes the tiger is able to escape the cage and some bad things happen however does this make it the cages fault that the tiger escaped?" Shibuki asked looking at the blonde in front of him.

"I don't think it would. I mean blaming a cage for something that the tiger did just seems a little stupid if you ask me," Naruto said looking at the male in front of him.

"Exactly now Naruto about what you saw tonight what happened with Fuu is similar to the cage and the tiger situation I just explained." Shibuki said looking at the blonde in front of him.

"Alright but how so?" Naruto asked looking at the teen figure in front of him.

"Well, Naruto you see Fuu is what is called a Jinchuuriki. Do you know what that is Naruto?" Shibuki asked looking at the young male in front of him. When he nodded Shibuki sighed and looked at him. "Well, Naruto a Jinchuuriki is what someone is called when they have one of the tailed beasts sealed inside of them." Shibuki said looking at them.

"S-so Fuu has a tailed beast sealed inside of her?" Naruto asked looking at the teen in front of him. When the male nodded Fuu slowly lowered her head. She knew what she was and she also knew that is was because of this thing inside of her that almost no one in the entire village liked her. She had expected him to be afraid of her or for him to hate her like the others, however, she didn't expect what came out of his mouth next.

"And you think this would make me think differently of Fuu because?" He asked looking at Shibuki. The two were surprised but happy at what they had just heard.

"I guess you really aren't like the others huh Naruto?" The male said looking at the young blonde in front of him.

"Well yeah I guess so," Naruto said looking at them.

"Well that's all I really had to tell the two of you so the two of can go to your home," Shibuki said looking at the two of them. When he said this the two of them smiled and headed home. When the two got there Naruto had just thought of something that he hadn't until just now.

"Hey umm Fuu where am I going to sleep?" Naruto asked looking at the female in front of him.

"With me in my bed, of course," She said looking at him.

"With you?" Naruto asked a bit confused. He may not have known much and boys and girls, but some of what he did know were what was and wasn't supposed to be normal and from what he knew a girl and a boy sleeping together wasn't normal. "Umm isn't that a little weird?" Naruto asked looking at the green haired female in front of him.

She looked confused for a moment before she actually began to think about. "No, I don't think it's weird. I mean girls sleep with other girls all the time at these things called sleepovers so what's wrong with a boy and a girl doing the same thing?" Fuu said looking at the blonde in front of her. Naruto then thought about it and couldn't really come up with an answer.

"I guess you're right," Naruto said as he followed Fuu up the set of steps that was inside the apartment. The two then looked at the bed that was in front of her and each crawled into one side of the bed each being back to back. However, neither one of them could sleep they were both too caught up in their own mind to sleep.

'I can't believe how close I was to losing my new friend. To make matters even worse, I had to use that demons power to save him. I want to help him, but I don't want him to be afraid of me. What could I do to make sure that no one ever hurts him like that again?' Fuu thought however after she had put some thought into it, she had come up with an answer. 'I'll become a ninja of takigakure if I did that then no one would mess with Naruto again because they would know that I could save him.' she thought as she let out a tired yawn at the end.

'I can't believe how weak I am. Fuu had to come in and save me because of how weak I was. I left konohagakure because of was tired of being a burden to everyone. I don't want Fuu to spend her entire life protecting me because I'm too weak to do it myself. I could always become a ninja of Takigakure. If I did that then Fuu wouldn't have to protect me as much as she does now.' Naruto thought to himself with a small smile gracing his face as heard Fuu yawn.

The two of them could feel their sleep winning the battle and before the two drifted off into the lands of dreams they both had the exact same thought. 'I want to become a ninja so I can protect my new friend,' after the two had thought this the two slowly drifted off to sleep.
