Chapter two

            (Six days later)

            Naruto and Shikamaru walked out of the forest and found themselves on a road leading to a familiar place. Hey Kyuubi, does this place seem familiar?
            Hai kit, I think this is that place called Wave? The fox answered.
            Naruto questioned, Wave? Oh, you mean where Inari and Tazuna are?
            And the bridge where you guys fought that Mist ninja Zabuza.
            I wonder how everyone is doing.
            Why don’t you go find out?
            Naruto finished his talk with Kyuubi and continued on his way. Shikamaru decided to question Naruto. “Hey, Naruto?” The fox container turned to look at his friend. “Do you happen to know where we are at and where we are headed?”
            Naruto nodded. “Where we are now is a place called Wave. We fought a Nuke Nin from Mist here on the bridge ahead and saved the village. As for your second question; I don’t know where we are headed yet. Kyuubi and I were kind of talking about that.”
            Shikamaru nodded and looked around the area curiously. He had heard about the mission to Wave that Team 7 has from his sensei. Naruto and Shikamaru continued down the trail till they came to the bridge separating Wave form the main land. They paused at the bridge and stared up at the sign. Hey Kyu, do you see this? Naruto asked his tenant.
            The sign said “The Great Naruto Bridge; The Bridge of Heroes”.
            Heh, Seems like someone appreciates what you do as a ninja.
            Yeah, I just wish my so-called friends in Konoha felt the way they do.
            Don’t think about them too much. This is your new life and they have no place in it. Besides you still have one friend who gave up just as much if not more than you did to travel with you.
            You’re right, I won’t think about it anymore. And I am glad that Shikamaru decided to come with me. I don’t know how far I would have made it without at least one friend at my side; beside you of course.
            Kyuubi rumbled gently, soothingly, knowing how much the Rookies had hurt him. They had literally turned their back on him. When he needed their support the most, they left him alone; they abandoned him.
            Within a few minutes Naruto was once again in familiar surroundings. He explained some of the surrounding to his silent companion when a familiar voice called out.
            “Nii-san?” a familiar voice called. Naruto turned to see Inari moving quickly towards him. Naruto waved to the boy as he stopped in front of him.
            “Hey Inari,” Naruto said smiling at the boy. Naruto grunted as Inari suddenly threw himself into Naruto’s arms.
            Inari started firing off questions, “So you here for a reason? Where’s everyone else? Why are you here alone? Who’s this with you? I don’t believe he was here with you last time.”
            Naruto laughed softly and answered, “I’m just passing through, in Konoha, and I’m moving to another village or city. This is Shikamaru; he decided to travel with me. He was with his team when I was helping you guys out here.”
            Inari laughed and tugged on Naruto’s arm. “You have to stop by and stay for a while at my place. Mom and Grandpa would never forgive you if you didn’t.”

            Naruto laughed again and followed his “little brother” through the village. He could stay for a couple days; he had nowhere he needed to be. Naruto saddened at the thought, but Kyuubi’s rumbling quickly soothed him. He wouldn’t think about that now. Turning to his companion Naruto enlightened Shikamaru about the battle on the bridge as well as the training Kakashi had put his team through in order to take on a Nuke Nin and his apprentice.

            Naruto laughed as Inari filled him in on what had been going on in their village since he had last been there. Both he and Shikamaru were enjoying a wonderfully prepared dinner while Inari and Tazuna told them stories.
            After they had arrived earlier, Tsunami had invited them to stay for at least a couple of days before leaving, giving them time to see what had been going on with Naruto since he had left. After his explanation of what had happened in Konoha, Tsunami had made dinner. Naruto and Shikamaru had agreed to stay, much to Inari’s delight.
            Now, as he lay there in his temporary room, Naruto’s thoughts drifted toward his new life. He knew he couldn’t be a ninja anymore, but he had no idea what he was going to do.
            You’re going to start over, and to do that you need to find a place where ninjas don’t exist.
            I know that Kyu, but where are we going to find such a place?
            We’ll just have to keep looking until we do.
            Got any ideas on where to start?
            What about in the shadow lands?
            Shadow lands? I’ve never been there.
            I’ll show you the way, kit. We should probably leave in the morning though.
            Why?
            We don’t want Inari and his family to get in trouble with any of the other villages because of us, right?
            Would they really get into that much trouble?
            We don’t really know how the council will act; knowing that one of Konoha’s allies is housing someone they banished. Better safe than sorry.
            I guess you’re right. So we leave first thing in the morning?
            It would be best.
            Okay then. Naruto decided that before he went to sleep he would tell Shikamaru about the plans that he and Kyuubi came up with. As of this moment he made a promise that as long as Shikamaru traveled with him, he would keep no secrets from the lazy shadow ninja.

            (Early the next morning)

            Naruto woke up with the sun the next morning. He stretched and felt all of his muscles and bones pop back into their right places. Then he rolled out of bed and got dressed. He threw on a black three-quarter sleeve mesh shirt and a royal blue t-shirt over the top of that, and then he pulled on a pair of black Shinobi pants and his sandals, completing the look.
            Kyuubi rumbled in approval in his mind. Over the course of a few months he and Kyuubi had started to get along better. Kyuubi had always been there for him, he couldn’t think of a time when he didn’t have the demon. But now, as the demon’s red hot chakra pulsed through his body, Naruto was comforted. The burning was familiar and soothing.
            Naruto shook himself out of his thoughts and grabbed his pack and headed for the bedroom door. He went over to the bedroom next to his to find Shikamaru already up and packed. Ne nodded to is friend as the duo made their way downstairs. Naruto paused before changing his mind; instead they made their way to the window. Throwing open the window, Naruto took one last look at his familiar surroundings before heading out with Shikamaru behind him.

            They landed softly on the ground. Shifting his pack to a more comfortable position, Naruto started walking with Shikamaru at his side. The silence was comfortable as both of them were lost in thoughts of the past.

(Three hours later)


            Naruto paused to catch his breath. He had passed through Moon not too long ago. He had wanted to stop in one of the villages there, but had thought better of it. Better not let anyone see him, less chance of him getting caught.
            He and Shikamaru had been walking for three hours non-stop, but it wasn’t the time spent walking that made him tired, rather, it was the mountain that he was hiking. It had started to get gradually more and more steep, the higher he went. Most of the climb was spent in silence, but occasionally the two would talk about little things; training, hobbies, and the people they left behind.
            A half an hour later they reached the top. Kyuubi rumbled in Naruto’s mind and Naruto obediently turned to take in his surroundings. There, surrounded by mountains, was a small valley. Shikamaru too took in the mountains and small valley; he turned to see a compensative look on Naruto’s face. “What’s wrong, Naruto?” he asked.
            Naruto shook his head, “Nothing, I was just thinking. Wouldn’t this make a great site for a village? Like a new Hidden Village?”
            Shikamaru took in the valley with new eyes. Now that he thought about it this would be the perfect place. It was hidden well and would be easy to defend. Shikamaru nodded. “Maybe one day we’ll come back and make this thought a reality.”
            Naruto nodded, “Maybe.” Kyuubi interrupted their conversation the give some direction. The Shadow lands lie on the other side of the farthest mountain.
            This place would be perfect for a hidden village.
            What are you talking about, kit?
            Think about it Kyu, Naruto coaxed, Shikamaru and I were just talking about it; its well hidden, and completely unreachable unless you knew exactly how to get here. It’s perfect.
            Kyuubi thought for a minute, and then he said, what about your new start? I thought that you wanted to start over in a new city?
            I do, but I’m not going to stop being a ninja no matter where I live. You just can’t forget things like that. I was thinking that we’d go to the city for a few years, and once the Ninja world has forgotten about us, we’ll come back here and offer those that were forgotten a new start. You know a village for people like us; outcast’s .And Shikamaru will most likely want to be a part of it two.
            Kyuubi thought about the idea for a minute and then said, The Village Hidden in the Mountains.
            Huh?
            That’s the name we’ll give the village.
            It’s perfect. Naruto finished his mental conversation and resumed walking. He told Shikamaru about the name of the village that together they would one day make. Shikamaru nodded, they day they made the village he would still are at Naruto’s side. Naruto told Shikamaru that Kyuubi had said that they’d reach the city by nightfall if they kept moving.

            (Nightfall)

            They paused once again to catch their breath. As they stood there, both Naruto and Shikamaru once again took in their surroundings. This time instead of seeing mountains, they saw buildings. The city was lit up with bright colored lights, all the buildings had them.
            Naruto made his way down the slope and strolled into the city, his new home. He looked over at Shika to see the other boy was also looking at the sights as well. They passed many buildings in their search for a room for the night.
            A bright sign reading “Kou’s Restaurant and Lounge” caught Shika’s attention. Seeing as this was probably the best place to grab a bite to eat, he and Naruto headed for the entrance.
      He and Naruto walked through the doors into a tastefully decorated place. The walls were painted a dark blue with a black trim. The tables were made with a dark wood. Shika liked the place already, and he hadn’t even tried the food yet.
Naruto headed straight for the bar with Shika at his side. Standing behind the counter was an older man with grey-streaked brown hair and aged warm brown eyes.
“Hello,” Naruto said taking a seat.
The man gave him a warm smile as he walked over and said in a way of greeting, “Name’s Kou Akira, what can I get ya?”
Naruto smiled back and answered, “I don’t have very much, but I would like something good.”
Kou eyed the kids sitting at his bar. The first boy looked young, really young. Then he looked at he second boy, who didn’t look that much older. Kou could also tell the kids had been through a lot. The youngest boys’ bright blue eyes held a world of pain and wisdom, like he had been through the wringer too many times to count. The brown haired boy watched him with a guarded look in his eyes as well.
       Kou liked to kids right off and decided to take a chance. He looked the boys and said bluntly, “Ya’ll need a place to stay?”
      Both Shikamaru and Naruto looked shocked for a second, before they both hesitantly nodded.
      Kou’s smile grew softer as he replied, “I can offer you a roof over yer head and job if you want it.”
      Blue eyes turned weary in an instant, and he asked, tone skeptical, “Why would you help us? You don’t even know us.”
      Kou felt for the boys. He’d had a hard life and apparently trust didn’t come easy. So Kou did the only thing he could think of doing, he told the truth, “I like you kids. I can see that you’ve both been through a lot, but you have you’re your heart pure, and I admire you for that. I’ve decided to trust my instincts and take a chance on you.”
      Naruto still looked skeptical, but he agreed, “Sure, if you really want to.”
      “Good, now that’s settled. What’s yer name kid?”

      Naruto looked thoughtful for a second before he answered, “Akihiko, name’s Akihiko. And this is Kanji.”

A/N: and here’s the edited version of my chapter two. Naruto’s and Shikamaru’s new lives have begun.
