Chapter 2

"Lord Hokage" yelled an ANBU as he appeared within the room

"What is it Dog" asked the Hokage

"Its Naruto we cant find him anywhere"

"What!" Yelled Sarutobi "Dog, Snake, Weasel, and Inu I order you four to look everywhere for Naruto. Dont come back till you find him"

"Yes Lord Hokage" the ANBU answered and disappeared.

Naruto where are you?

____

"Look what I found" said as a voice. The person bend down to look at Narutos body and saw that he had cuts bruises all over him. Then saw the monster and demon carved into him. Who would do this to a boy? Then picked him up and disappeared.

___

We cant find Naruto anywhere.

"Who's going to tell Lord Hokage?" Asked Inu as he looked at dog,weasel and snake.

"Let's fight one another to see?" Said Snake as she smiled sadistically

"Play, rock paper?" Asked Inu

Then weasel said "I will do it, you bunch of scaredy cats" and he headed to Hokages office.

"I hope you have good news" said Sarutobi coldly.

Weasel bowed "Sir we cant find him anywhere. Its like he disappeared."

"What did I tell you four"

"N-not to come back unless we find him" stammered Inu

"And did you find him? No. Ibiki take them T&I for disobeying me"

"Yes hokage-sama" said a bald man beside him. He walked to the four ANBU and whispered "why did you disobey him? You know how much he loves that boy as his own grandchild"

After they left Sarutobi looked out the window. Naruto my boy where are you? Are you safe? I should've helped you out more. Shouldn't have to listen to the council. Its corrupted and they all hate you. I should've been more stricter and show them why I am the homage and they are the council. The council...

"Crow" yelled out Sarutobi

An ANBU appeared "lord hokage"

"Summon the council. Both ninja and citizen council. Tell then they better be there in 30 minutes or else."

Crow shivered at the tone of Sarutobis voice "Yes Hokage" then disappeared.

Naruto-kun they will pay and I will make them. Please be safe wherever you are. Kami help him and keep him safe.

___

Naruto starts waking up. He opens his eyes to see a shadow of a person.

"Looks like you are awake boy" said the shadow

Naruto sat up "Sorry, if I caused any trouble I will leave right now"

"Why is there words carved into your abdomen?" It asked

Naruto looked down and saw 'demon' 'monster' he started tearing up but managed to calm himself down. He looked at the shadow "Because they can't tell the difference between a Kunai and a scroll. I have kurama I mean ninetails inside me. Yet they think I'm a demon. I am not and neither is Kurama. Hes not a monster either hes just like the rest of us. He can think and feel just like we humans can."

After Naruto finished speaking there was an awkward pause then the shadow spoke "So you think the villagers are monsters?"

Naruto shook his head "No, they are only blinded by hate and lost of their loved ones. I dont hate them. When Kurama took over my body to prevent them from killing me I made him promise not to kill or even hurt them. I still love my village and everyone of the people that hurt me. Theres good in everyone. Ya know"

A chuckle sounded out within the room. "You sound just like Hashirama Senju. He couldn't hate people either. Always believe there was good in people. Boy do you want power?"

Naruto looked at the shadow. Power what use is it? You can force people to acknowledge you. What good is that. They will only know for my power. Love me for power. Power leads to arrogance and that leads to death and war. Indeed. But you can get power and use it to protect the people you love. Yes I can. When I meet my precious people I want to protect then all no matter what. I will also protect this village. Kit,you sure are selfless huh?

Naruto looked at the shadow and said "Yes I want power. But for the people I want to protect. I want to protect the village even if they hurt me. Yes theres corruption within it but maybe we can change it. I can also use the power to set Kurama free so he can be with his brother and sisters. Also I could help out my other fellow jinchurikis let them know theres people that love them. We are not tools for war. We are just people. Like the rest. Maybe not as human though."

The shadow shifted closer. "Why do you say that?"

"I was born human yes. But after Kurama was put within me I am not so much anymore. I will die when he leaves me and he will wait 4 years to reform. But I'm also not a monster. I'm just a person. Not human not monster."

"Haha boy. What do you think about me teaching you?"

Naruto looked at the shadow "But I dont know who you are?"

"You may call me Madara Uchiha." The shadow said as it came to light.
