AN: So I was trying to decide
what to do next with Conversations, finish up Dreams…finish the Tale of the
Bijou, or maybe another bedtime story. When an idea hit me! Chibi-Naru .With
that in mind, one of my reviewers ‘JNottle’ had requested some interaction between Naruto/Elders
and Danzo… possibly Tsunade also. I can’t think of a way of doing that without
totally going AU on this... (Yeah I know I have, but I can pretend I haven’t?)
So Instead, since I introduced the fact that Naruto was raised by Danzo at Root
and later by Sandaime and the Elders, let’s take a look at what that was like…
Oh at one point I use a song in this, which you can thank a friend of ‘Absentminded Dreamer 1310’ by the name of ‘The Satan
E.T.’ for. She wrote it in a review and I just had to use it. I originally
meant to use it in Dreams III, but this works so much better…
Now to
understand, Kyubi is watching the childhood memories, what I tell you is
actually from someone else’s POV, I felt it portrayed it better than Kyubi
watching the clouded memories, if you saw the way others suppress- I mean-
remember them as.
Oh,
and the chapter is a longer than usual, since it has been so long since I
posted…

Ch 16 – Childhood Memories…
Deep
in the sewer mindscape of one Uzumaki Naruto, a giant fearsome Bijou known as
Kyūbi no Yōkō, the most terrifying creature to torment the
Elemental Nations was currently in a position that would ruin his image
forever. What was he doing you ask? Laughing so hard he was hyperventilating,
tears streaming from his evil glowing red eyes. How did this happen?
Well,
after Naruto had his little tête-à-tête with Danzo in the NE headquarters,
Kyubi had decided he needed to research these memories. Naruto had from his
earlier years in Root, and his interaction as a child with the Sandaime Hokage
and his two crony friends. To say that what he found when he went looking was
not what he was expecting, would be an understatement. Currently he was
watching a memory of Naruto at age 1 and ½ years old, during one of his stays
away from NE in the care of the Hokage. Shall we see what has made the nine
tailed demon fix loose his dignity… I though you would never ask…
* §§ *
The NE ANBU was never as
grateful as he was at this moment, when he got to hand the child off to his
counterpart, Sandaime’s personal ANBU. After the hellish few months that NE had
had, since the boy had learned to walk, no forget that the boy went from
crawling straight to running; it would be a relief to have the child out of
their hands for a month. As he turned to leave, even with all the emotional
control that this officer had received from Danzo-sama, he couldn’t help the
smirk that had formed underneath his mask.
See, only about a half hour
ago the little blond child had gotten into the kitchen and had eaten about a ¼
pound of raw sugar. Having seen this and reported it to Danzo-sama, it was
universally decided that the boy should be taken to the Hokage’s tower a day
early. That will teach the Hokage to
derail Danzo-sama’s plans. Let him deal with a sugar high Jinchuuriki.
The ANBU in the Inu mask looked at the child who stared
at him innocently and couldn’t shake the feeling that the NE peon who was
leaving was laughing at him. “Dooggiee?” The soft voice came to him. Looking
down two wide innocent blue eyes looked at him, a slight sparkle appearing in
his left eye. Normally this would make someone go ‘Awwh…’, but this ANBU had
known the child’s father. He barely controlled the shudder from the chill of
DOOM he felt.
**
“And what is this, Inu-san?” The voice of the old man
asked, looking up from his desk where he was meeting with his old teammates,
Koharu and Homaru. Both turned to see an ANBU officer walking in with a small
child in black shorts and white t-shirt in his arms. The child was giggling
softly.
“Danzo-sama sent Naru-chan
early, Sir.” The Inu answered,
quickly handing the child to Koharu who held her hands out eagerly, eager to be
free of the squirming brat.
As Koharu made cooing
noises, Homaru narrowed his eyes. “That is rare Sarutobi, why would Danzo send
him early, especially when today is the last day before the Grass delegation
leaves?”
Putting his pipe down, after
being glared at by Koharu, he responded. “Who knows, but I am glad to have him
sooner.”
“Down! Down!” Naruto started
chanting, wiggling in the old woman’s arms.
“Naru-chan, have you started
to talk?” Homaru asked looking at the little boy.
“Down!” Naruto shouted this
time.
Just as Koharu was about to
put him down, Naruto wiggled out of her arms and jumped to the floor and took
off running. Right before he made it out the door, Inu grabbed him and picked him up by the seat of his pants. The boy
giggled as if he just found a new fun game to play, 'Or perhaps one he has played before?' The ANBU thought, his earlier
fear returning.
“Naru-chan, you can run?”
The two old men shared a look of horror as they realized that the boy was fully
mobile, while Koharu was busy moving to take the boy back from Inu in her excitement.
“Koharu, why don’t we let Inu take the boy for a bit, we need to
finish up here and meet with the Grass delegation. We can catch up with
Naru-chan later. We do have him for a whole month.”
Nodding, Koharu handed the
boy back to the teenage ANBU officer who was staring at the giggling, wiggling
child whose eyes were getting wider and wilder looking with every moment.
Bowing he took the boy out of the room, looking at him, he really felt as if
this afternoon was going to be horrid.
**
“… So as you can see these
trade agreements… will make it…” Everyone turned to look outside the conference
room to the sounds of muted shrieks, screams and bangs.
“Forgive me for asking
Hokage-sama, but is something going on outside we should be concerned about?”
the Grass delegate asked.
In the preceding moments the
noises had been getting louder and louder, and everyone was curious as to what
was happening outside. Signaling to one of his ANBU guards, they moved forward
to open the door to see what was happening outside. Shortly after the door
opened a small blur shot into the room running around it.
The people in the room could
only watch in complete shock as a small blond toddler ran naked through the
room laughing hysterically. The only item that could be considered clothes on
the child was a single sandal that was on his little left foot. It was a
testament to the child’s sure footedness that he wasn’t
tripping from running with only one shoe.
Unable to react, the whole
room continued to watch as the child ran around the table naked, only to see
him suddenly turn and shoot under the table as an Inu masked ANBU ran into the room. The ANBU officer was in a
disheveled appearance, and even with his mask you could feel the stress coming
off of him. Suddenly out of nowhere, the laughing child shot out from
under the desk trying to escape the room. The ANBU officer jumped to grab the
child only to land on his face, missing him by a few inches.
“Sorry Hokage-sama.” The
ANBU said getting up before running out of the room to chase after the cheerful
little blond boy.
Dead silence reined in the
room, followed by a few snickers. Suddenly the Hokage cleared his throat.
“Tora, since we now know what is happening outside; perhaps you
should close the door?” Waiting till the ANBU collected himself
and closed the door, he turned to the group at the table. “Well it seems my
godson who is visiting me this month is playing. Perhaps we should just ignore
the noises from outside?”
Everyone laughed, and the
Hyuga and Uchiha clan leaders shared an amused look. Finally the Uchiha turned
to the Hokage and said, “It appears Hokage-sama that someone has given the boy
too much sugar.”
Homaru, Koharu and Sarutobi
froze shared a look and than in unison hissed, “Danzo!”
**
Despite the fact that the
old man walked with a cane, lacked an arm and an eye, his gait was down right
cheerful as he walked through the Hokage tower. Word had reached him that
his little blond gaki had streaked the entire tower during his current sugar
high and had run most of the tower staff ragged trying to catch him. He snorted
a small laugh, stopped to make sure no one heard him, and continued on in a
more sedate walk, trying to control the urge to whistle a jaunty tune.
Reaching the Hokage’s
office, he met the guard who was staring at him with suppressed KI, and waited
to be announced.
“Danzo-sama is here to see
you.’ The guard called into the office.
“Send him in.” came the soft
reply.
Danzo walked in, and used
every bit of his training to not laugh out loud. Sarutobi was sitting at his
desk a look of sheer exhaustion on his face. Homaru in a chair watching Danzo
with angry eyes, and Koharu was on the couch holding a
sleeping innocent Naruto. What truly amused him were two ANBU officers who
looked completely wrecked on the floor watching the child, their bodies tensed
to jump up at any moment.
“Danzo.” Sarutobi’s voice
quiet yet strong, “What possessed you to send Naruto-kun here early and hyped
up on sugar?”
Danzo put on his most
affronted expression. “I had no idea when I sent him over, Hokage-sama. I had
mentioned this morning to Naruto-kun that he was going to visit you tomorrow,
and he was so happy I thought to send him early. It wasn’t till recently
that I found out he had gotten into the kitchen and eaten a ¼ pound of sugar. I
am truly sorry, but it was only for one day, my ANBU has to deal with all the
time, and he is a very energetic boy. Why do you think I asked if we could
start his training?”
Everyone froze as Naruto
made a small sound and twitch in his sleep. Fear in everyone. When he settled
down, Sarutobi and Homaru looked at the old war-hawk.
“We shall see how the rest
of the month goes, if he is as energetic as you claim, perhaps we should allow
him some small taijutsu training? Just for exercise and to keep him out of
trouble?”
Danzo chuckled in his head, Operation Sugar – Success!
* §§ *
Kyubi
was staring at the images in front of him intently. Something about that
particular ANBU was ticking at his senses. 'Where do we know her from?' He thought to himself. Oh well, at least
now he knew where the perverted nursery rhyme came from.
* §§ *
Koharu walked through the
hallways to meet up with Danzo. Together they would meet up with Homaru and Sarutobi
to discuss the possibility of placing Naruto-kun into an apartment while
attending the Academy. She fought to keep the smirk off her face. Danzo was not
happy to realize that his particular training was not suited to the boy, but it
was for the best, Naruto had to be in the public eye, not hidden away in ANBU.
Seeing him waiting for her
up ahead, she tilted her head in his direction before they moved forward. She
made no attempts to talk as years of working with him allowed her to sense he
was still angered at the decisions made. She was unsure why; Naruto was barely
five years old. The earliest he would be allowed to attend the Academy was next
year.
“Well at least today should
be calm. I hear the gaki is playing quietly with his ANBU guards.” Danzo
finally said into the silence.
“Ah.” Koharu murmured.
Yesterday had been quite busy, and as such Naruto was rather passive from all
the excitement. Yet, even as those words were murmured, she couldn’t help but
remember the old saying, ‘Be careful what you wish for.’
**
The Karasu masked ANBU could only stare in horror at the boy on the
ground talking with the Hebi masked
ANBU. A small part of his mind kept mentioning that this would be amusing as
hell, but the rest was too horrified at what was happening. He shared a
glance with the Tora and Inu masked ANBU, who seemed to share his
concern and humor. 'This will not end
well.'
**
“…So we are agreed.”
Sarutobi said as the four walked down the hallway of the top level of the
Tower.
Koharu and Homaru nodded in
agreement, Danzo after a moment also nodded as well.
“So if this is done, how
about we go tell Naruto-kun.” Koharu asked.
As the others nodded and
walked on, Koharu smiled softly. She enjoyed having Naruto-kun around, as he
filled a small part of her that wanted grandchildren. Unfortunately all her
children were grown up and only one was in a relationship; perhaps she might
get grandchildren of her own someday.
As they got closer to
Naruto’s playroom in the tower, they heard the sounds of a child humming.
Smiling all three watched as she opened the door to look inside. Three ANBU
were stationed around the room, and one sat on the floor playing toy ninjas
with Naruto, who was humming a soft children’s rhyme. Somehow none of the elders
who had just walked in the room felt the tension that invaded the three
standing male ANBU.
This team was picked as
Naruto’s main guard unit as they were some of the youngest ANBU in service, and
Sarutobi thought they would be best for caring/guarding a child.
“Naruto-kun what are you
humming?” Koharu asked moving in to kneel next to the boy.
“A song.” The boy said not
looking up, so engrossed in his toys.
“What song?” she asked
smiling.
“One Hebi-chan taught me.” he said, looking up.
“Oh, will you sing it for
us?” she asked smiling, as the other six in the room watched the three on the
floor.
“Kay.” Naruto looked up and
sang, not realizing what would happen when they heard his song.
Sticks and stones may break my bones,
but whips and chains excite me.
So tie me up and throw me down,
and show me that you like me! (1)
Everyone froze in the room.
A soft guilty laugh escaped the Hebi
masked Ninja. Suddenly the four elders unfroze and began to glare at the
kunoichi, who stood slowly and backed away.
“Anko…” four voices growled
out.
While the little blond boy
watched in innocence, no one noticed that two pair of eyes watched in hidden
amusement. Behind the Inu mask, a
mismatched pair of eyes glimmered with hidden amusement, watching the humor
unfold. A soft glance to the side showed the Karasu mask was also watching, a pair of Sharingan eyes capturing
the moment forever.
* §§ *
Kyubi
glared at the newest image in front of him. At last he knew who to make pay.
Thirteen years of eating that salted crap, and he finally knew who to make
suffer for the indignity. Did his vessel eat healthy, no… Did his vessel eat
delicious food, no…? His vessel ate Ramen, and it is this fools fault!
* §§ *
Naruto held the hand and
toddled along with the man beside him. He had been told to stay with the
strange man who chewed on the metal stick. Not wanting to get in trouble like
he did the other day, Naruto had been well behaved, for a three year old. When
his tummy had grumbled the man had looked at him and asked if he was hungry.
“Vewwy hungwy!” he had
replied.
The man had smiled and asked
what he wanted to eat, and Naruto couldn’t think of anything. The man had
decided to take him out to eat at a place he liked to go to. He held on tightly
to the hand as they walked through the village. The child couldn’t help but
look at all the people. Strangely they looked at him funny. He didn’t know what
it was, but he didn’t like it. It seemed almost like they all knew about the
trouble he caused yesterday and were mad at him.
“Here we are, gaki.” the man
said coming to stop in front of a stand. Naruto took a sniff and his mouth
watered at the smell coming from the place in front of him. Something about the
smell called to him. He tugged on the hand he was holding, and waited till he
could see his face.
“What is it gaki?”
“Fwood?” he asked hoping
that he was going to get that heavenly smell.
“Yeah gaki. Welcome to the
best Ramen stand in Konoha. Ichikaru Ramen!”
With that the man picked the
boy up and walked into the stand to sit at the bar. He placed the boy on the
stool, and made some adjustments to the seat so he could see the counter.
A young girl was sitting on the end of the counter watching them.
“Hi!” she chirped. “Did you
want to order something?”
“Hello Ayame-chan? Helping
your father out today?” the metal chewing man asked. Grabbing the stuff Naruto
had grabbed away from him, he continued on. “Naru-chan and I are here for
lunch. Do you have a small bowl of a good ramen for a toddler for him and a
Seafood Ramen for me?”
“Sure Genma-san.” the girl
said. She jumped down on the inside of the Ramen stand and ran to the back
where her father was.
A few moments later she
returned and climbed back onto the counter. The eight year old girl watched the
little boy leaning on the counter try and grab at all the chopsticks. Sighing
she moved over to be closer to him.
“Hey kid, want to play a bit
with me while Dad makes your lunch?” she asked.
She caught her breath as the
cutest little boy she had ever seen looked at her. He had bright yellow hair,
tan skin and the widest blue eyes that just seemed to look right into her. His
chubby cheeks had three whisker-like marks. An urge to grab the boy and hug him
filled her.
“Thanks Ayame-chan.
Naru-chan can be a bit of a trouble maker.” Genma said, sighing softly. The
brat was always so energetic. Even after the incident years ago that had lead
to him being banned from eating sweets except on special occasions.
“Hello Naru-chan.” Ayame
cooed out at the toddler. “You can call me nee-chan,” she said.
“Nee-chan?” the toddler
asked wide eyed.
“Hai.” Ayame said with a
wide grin. She caught her breath again as the widest happiest grin in
the world was directed at her.
“Here we go, one Seafood
Ramen and one Miso Ramen,” a man said, moving forward with two bowls. Placing
the bowls down the man looked closely at the boy, causing Genma to tense
momentarily. “Well if isn’t Uzumaki Naruto. Are you old enough for Ramen?” he
asked after a moment with a wide smile.
Staring at the bowl in front
of him, Naruto turned to give a wide grin to the man and shouted out, “I’m a
big boy now!”
“Yes you are.” he man said
with a smile before ruffling the boy’s hair and motioning to Ayame to help the
boy with his food.
Just as he turned away, he
heard the words that would come to be his favorite expression from the boy for
years to come. “Morwe pwease.”
Turning back around he found
Genma-san and his daughter Ayame staring shocked at the little boy who just
managed to eat a small bowl in less than a minute. Laughing aloud, he walked
back to the counter.
“Aren’t you just like your
daddy?” he said ruffling his hair and taking the empty bowl. “I’ll go get you a
bigger bowl.”
**
“Inu, where is Naru-chan?” the Sandaime asked.
Coughing slightly, the ANBU
answered. “I believe Genma-san took him to get lunch down in the village.
Sempai is following behind with a few other ANBU."
Sarutobi nodded, and then
froze. Putting his pen down, he looked up at the young ANBU in front of him. “Inu, correct me if I am wrong, but
hasn’t Genma taken to eating at the Ramen place lately?”
“No you are correct sir, I
tried to warn him, but he said, and I quote ‘Just because his father was
obsessed with Ramen doesn’t mean he will be’.”
The Sandaime Hokage started
banging his head against the desk. Inu
watched, trying to hide his snickering. Genma was wrong, and he knew it.
Nothing got a Namikaze like Ramen, but Naru-chan was going back to NE soon, and
since the incident last year with the sugar, the tower ANBU had been planning
their revenge. They got a sugar high Naruto, they would give back a Ramen
obsessed one. Genma would never know that the ANBU had set him up.
**
Danzo watched suspiciously
as Sarutobi refused to meet his eyes. He couldn’t help but feel that the ANBU
in the tower were laughing at him from behind their mask. Hearing sounds
outside the Hokage’s office he heard Naruto’s voice. Turning he watched as the
door opened and a Tanuki masked
ANBU came in holding a bouncing toddler. Standing up he walked over to the boy
to hear happy cries of ‘Ojjisan’.
“Hello Naru-chan, how was
your visit?” he asked the boy.
“Like Jiji!” the boy
chirped.
Danzo nodded, turned and
bowed to Sarutobi before signaling one of his NE to take the boy.
“So Naruto, we should be
back in time for dinner, what do you want for your first night back?” he asked
as they started to walk out of the office.
“RAMEN!” the boy screamed
excitedly.
Danzo froze.
After a few minutes he
turned to see Sarutobi sitting at his desk trying to put on an innocent
expression. Narrowing his one eye he watched closely, and finally snarled.
“I thought we all agreed to
not let him have Ramen till he was older?”
“Well.” Sarutobi started
grabbing his pipe to load it with tobacco. “That was the plan, but one of my
Jonin thought it was a good idea to take him to Ichikaru’s for lunch the other
day.” Sighing, “I fear we will have another generation of Ramen addicted
blonds.”
“This is not funny
Sarutobi!” the war-hawk shouted, trying to block out the little boy chanting
ramen behind him. “It was embarrassing the things this boy’s father would do
for Ramen, can you imaging what he will be like, as his Mother was almost as
big a Ramen freak as the bloody Namikaze? You know it was always joked about
Ramen being Namikaze bait.”
“Danzo, you make too much of
this, what’s the worse that could happen?”
“I don’t know, how about a
label in the Bingo book. ‘S-Class Shinobi - flee on site unless you have Ramen
to offer as a bribe to let you go, or as bait for escape.’” The War-hawk
growled out.
Sarutobi took a hit form his
freshly lit pipe, “Well you know all good Shinobi have a quirk maybe that will
be his.”
Staring at the old fool, Danzo
growled and turned to leave, listening in horror to the ‘Ramen’ song Naruto was
singing. 'Damned if the old fool didn’t
do this on purpose.'
**
Inu walked into ANBU
headquarters’ to see many waiting for him. Taking off his mask, Hatake Kakashi
smiled widely.
“Operation Ramen – Success!”
Shouts went out through the
room, and the young Hatake couldn’t keep the grin off his face as he remembered
Danzo’s pissed off expression. 'It may
hurt me in the future, but it was worth it.'
* §§ *
Kyūbi
smirked. After the past week of watching Naruto’s childhood memories, it hurt
to laugh, but this was wonderful. He never felt so proud. His Naruto had driven
a top NE ANBU officer to go insane. He was so proud, only a true Kitsune could
annoy someone to death so easily.
* §§ *
Naruto watched the ANBU from
behind the couch. He was playing a game of ‘hide and destroy’ with the ANBU,
but it seems that the ANBU was getting upset. He didn’t understand why though.
It seemed fun to him. He would hide and sneak off to destroy something. When
the ANBU would show up he would take off to start again. It made no sense to
Naruto as to why he was feeling the anger off the ANBU. It wasn’t like this was
one of Jiji’s ANBU. It was one of Ojjisan’s ANBU. They never got angry, upset
or annoyed.
“You little monster, where
are you?” The ANBU Screamed in rage.
Nope, Naruto knew better
than to go out there now. He would just go back to his room and play nice. If
anyone asks, he would say he had no idea what they were talking about. Sneaking
carefully, Naruto skulked back to his room to hide.
He vaguely heard others
going to see what’s wrong.
**
A knock on his door had
Naruto looking up from the books he was reading. Ojjisan had given them to him
to work on his reading skills; they were all about Ninja basics, which he was
learning when he got to play with the other kids here.
“Naruto-kun, are you in
here?” Came the voice of his Ojjisan.
“Hai!” he called out,
knowing the old man with the cane would come in.
He looked up form his book
with as innocent an expression as possible on his face, especially when he
noticed the ANBU from earlier following.
“Naruto-kun, how long have
you been in your room?” the old man asked sitting down on the bed.
“I’ve been reading the books
you gave all day, Ojjisan.” Naruto said emphatically.
“You little lying-” The ANBU
growled out.
“That is enough.” Ojjisan
said.
“But sir-” The ANBU started.
“Even if he is guilty of
what you said, the fact that you can’t prove it, making it your word against
his means he can’t be held responsible. I am incredibly ashamed of your
behavior as well.” the old man growled out.
Naruto controlled the urge
to grin. Rules of Shinobi Conduct said, ‘If you can’t prove it, nothing
happened.’
“I understand Danzo-sama,
but if you don’t mind I would rather go back on missions than have to deal with
this child anymore.” the ANBU said after calming down.
“Partially granted, you may
be removed from watching Naruto-kun, but you will go back for training. What
type of Shinobi are you if a 5 ½ year old boy can run you ragged?”
“Yes sir.” the ANBU said
turning to leave, but not before glaring at the innocent looking blond.
The room was silent for a
moment, before Ojjisan got up and started to leave.
“Naruto-kun, while I applaud
you practicing your NINJA skills, please do not do so without advising
someone.” Ojjisan said softly.
Somewhat upset, Naruto
muttered softly, “Hai!”
Before leaving, Ojjisan said
one last thing. “I must say, excellent job of infiltration and sabotage,
Naruto-kun.”
Naruto grinned and went back
to reading. He was gonna be the best Ninja ever!
