Chapter Five – In the tower

After Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke walked through their own door
leading into the tower, Sasuke forced himself to count to ten in his
head. Okay, I think I can do this now. “Naruto, Sakura.”

Both his team mates turned around and looked at him.

“We need to talk before we go any further. Just listen to
what I have to say, it's important.” Sasuke paused to make sure
they were listening. “From now on, we need to keep the truth
about Naruto's new abilities, the demon fox, and who his parents are,
secret from everyone else.”

“Hey! What a second! It's my secret to tell. Kakashi-sensei
and Iruka-sensei should be told the truth about who my parents were.
The Hokage knows anyway.” Naruto didn't understand why Sasuke
wanted it to remain a secret. He thought maybe it was part of
Sasuke's jealousy for him.

“Dobe, what your father did to you when you were a baby was
done for a reason. If he wanted everyone to know, he wouldn't have
hid your identity.”

“Oh.” I guess Sasuke's right.

“Sasuke-kun is right Naruto.” Sakura supported her
crush.

“You are going to talk to the Hokage soon, you can ask him
who should be told the truth. Another thing I want to tell you both
right now, don't trust Kabuto.”

“What! Why not you bastard!” Naruto glared at Sasuke.

Sakura hit Naruto over the head. “Don't call Sasuke-kun a
bastard!”

“Ow!” Naruto rubbed his head and then pouted at
Sakura. “But Sakura-chan, you like Kabuto too.”

Sakura turned to Sasuke. “Why don't you want us to trust
Kabuto, Sasuke-kun?”

“Because I think he's up to something. The way he approached
us before the first test was suspicious. He was too friendly.”

“How can someone be too friendly, Sasuke? That doesn't make
any sense!” Naruto was back to glaring at Sasuke.

“Just trust me. He's not what he seems. So be very careful
about what you say around him. Just make up some story about why you
look different, and we need to also think up a way that you were able
to take the seal off me.” Sasuke tried to think of what story
they could use.

“Sasuke-kun, maybe we could just tell Kabuto that we were
playing around with him.”

“What do you mean, Sakura?”

“Like it was a joke. We could say the whole snake man story
is a joke.” Sakura waited to see what Sasuke thought about it.

“That is a good idea, Sakura. I think that will work for the
seal part. But what about Naruto's appearance?”

“A henge?”

“That would only work if he was not able to tell a henge
from the real thing, Sakura.” Sasuke was stumped on what they
could use as an excuse.

“Also, would I have been under a regular henge for 12
years?” Naruto didn't think that would fly as an explanation.

“Damn!” Sasuke was getting angry that none of them
could come up with a rational explanation.

“Wait! I know!” Sakura looked excited.

“What?” Both Sasuke and Naruto asked.

“Naruto ,is there anyway for you to make yourself look like
you did before? Make it look so real that no one can tell it's a
henge?”

Sasuke and Sakura looked at Naruto hoping that he could.

“Huh? Well, maybe I could for most people, but Kakashi has
the Sharingan and the Hyuuga's have the Byakugan. So Kakashi, Hinata
and that boy that looks like Hinata will be able to see right through
it.”

“Hmm, maybe if you practice while I watch you with the
Sharingan we may be able to see if you can do it, without me being
able to see through it. But you're right about the Hyuuga's. They
will be able to see your chakra pathways and notice your chakra is
different. But maybe they won't be able to figure out why. It's worth
a chance anyway.”

“Sasuke-kun is right. Naruto try changing yourself to look
like you did before.”

“Okay.”

For an hour, Naruto kept working on a henge that Sasuke wouldn't
be able to see through. He finally got it right.

“That's it, Naruto. Just stay like that.” Sasuke felt
very tired from having to keep his Sharingan activated so long.

“That is great, Naruto!” Sakura smiled happily at
Naruto.

“Thanks!” Naruto smiled and then he noticed that
Sasuke didn't look well. “What's wrong Sasuke?”

“Nothing, using the Sharingan this long puts a huge drain on
my chakra.”

Naruto then remembered something his father had told him he could
do. “Sasuke I can help you.”

“I don't need your help, dobe.”

“Stop calling me that! I remembered that I can fill other
people's chakra pathways with chakra.” Naruto then grinned at
Sasuke. “So, you still don't need any help?”

“Sasuke-kun, let Naruto help you. You'll feel better.”

Great, he's just full of surprises. Sasuke thought
sarcastically. “Alright, go ahead.” Sasuke walked up
closer to Naruto.

Naruto activated his enhanced eyesight and then he put his hand on
Sasuke's shoulder. He then pushed some of his own chakra into
Sasuke's chakra pathways. Naruto had an enormous supply of his own
chakra and even if he hadn't, he could have used the chakra from
anything else that was around him, that had chakra in it.

Naruto's own chakra had the ability to stabilize other chakra it
came in contact with. That is why Sasuke's body could handle having
Naruto's chakra in it without any problems.

When Naruto was finished, he deactivated his enhanced eyesight and
then took his hand off of Sasuke, smiling at him. “Feel better
now?”

Sasuke did feel better. He even felt a bit stronger than he had
ever felt before. It must be his chakra making me feel this way.
“Yes.” Then Sasuke paused and said, “Thank you.”

Sasuke said thank you? What is the world coming to! Naruto
just smiled. “You're welcome, Sasuke.” Then he remembered
the scrolls. “Hey, we need to read the scrolls now, don't we?”

“Yeah! Get them out, Naruto.” Sakura went over to
Naruto and took one of the scrolls that he got out of his pouch.

Both Naruto and Sakura opened the scrolls at the same time and
read them.

“Um, it says something about a summoning here.” Sakura
was about to read more but Sasuke interrupted her.

“Throw the scrolls down now!”

The urgency in his voice caused both Sakura and Naruto to obey
without question. They hurriedly threw the scrolls away from
themselves. Then all of a sudden smoke started coming out of the
scrolls. A man appeared before them.

“It's Iruka-sensei!” Naruto was excited to see his old
teacher.

Iruka smiled at his former students. “Looks like you guys
made it. I'm proud of you.”

Sakura and Naruto smiled with fondness at Iruka. Sasuke just
looked at him with no expression on his face.

“What are you doing here, Iruka-sensei?” Naruto was
curious about why he would be the one to show up.

“Well, I told your instructor, Anko, that I wanted to be the
one to greet your team if you finished the second test correctly. I
guess I'll have to treat you to ramen in celebration later, Naruto.”

“Ramen! Hey can we go now?” Naruto danced around in
joy.

“No! Naruto stop dancing around. I said later.” Iruka
looked sternly at Naruto, but inside he was laughing at his favorite
student's behavior. I'm very glad that being in these Chuunin
Exams hasn't changed Naruto too much.

Naruto stopped dancing and looked at his former teacher.

“Now, the exams are only going to get much harder from here
on out. You will be on your own when you go up against other people.
I want all three of you to make it through this, without getting
yourselves seriously injured or killed.” He looked at Naruto
the longest as he said this.

“Don't worry, Iruka-sensei! I'm not a kid anymore, I'm a
ninja now.” Naruto raised his hand and moved his hitai-ate up
and down. “You were the one that gave me this forehead
protector, remember?”

Iruka sighed. “Yes, I remember and you are right. You are
growing up and I have faith that you will make a great chuunin in the
future.” He then smiled at Naruto. “Well, all of you have
passed this second test and you are now free to go upstairs and find
yourselves a room to rest in. Don't forget to sign in at the desk in
the next room. It's through the door behind me.”

Naruto walked up to Iruka and hugged him. “Thanks
Iruka-sensei! I'll see you later okay?”

Iruka hugged him back then released him and stepped back. “Yes,
you will see me again later. Good luck to all of you in the third
test.” He then smiled at them and watched as all three walked
through the door that lead to the center of the tower.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
After the three had signed in, they headed upstairs to find rooms
for themselves. Tomorrow afternoon at three would be the time that
the second test was officially over and after all teams that have
arrived by then, signed in, the third test would begin.

Naruto had asked one of the chuunin sitting at the sign-in desk if
the Hokage was anywhere around. The chuunin, named Kotetsu, told
Naruto that he was in the tower and when Naruto asked to see him, the
chuunin told him he would let the Hokage know that he wanted to see
him. Naruto had to be satisfied with that.

Naruto was happy that he didn't see Kabuto anywhere and had
managed to get to his room before he could run into him. Tomorrow
is the big day! But since I have to keep my secret I won't be able to
use any of my new skills. That sucks!

Naruto waited for a few hours for the Hokage to show up, but he
didn't. So Naruto decided to go find some food.

As he headed downstairs, he bumped into the red-haired Sand nin.
“Oh, sorry!”

Gaara turned to glare at the blond, but then stopped and stared at
him.

Why is he staring at me? I said I was sorry! “Hey,
Gaara wasn't it? Why are you staring at me?” Naruto glared at
him.

Shukaku is telling me that this boy has a demon in him too.
Something called the Kyuubi. He is also telling me this boy does not
really look like he appears to be. Gaara looked more closely at
the blond.

“Hey! I'm talking to you! What's wrong with you?”
Naruto was getting angry that the red head was still staring at him
and wouldn't talk.

“You are like me.”

“Huh? What do you mean I'm like you?” Naruto was
puzzled.

“You have the Kyuubi in you.”

How does he know that? “Um, I don't know what you're
talking about. What's a kyuubi?” Maybe if I play dumb he'll
go away.

“Don't lie. I know you do. I have a demon in me too.”

Say what! Oh no, he is like me. “Hey, let's go to my
room and talk about this. I don't think we should talk out here where
anyone could hear us.”

“Okay.”

Wow, this guy sure doesn't like to use too many words!
“Okay, um, follow me.” Naruto then lead the Sand nin to
his room and after they got inside, he locked his door. Then he moved
over to sit on his bed. “You can sit in that chair over there.”
He pointed to the chair.

Gaara stayed standing and just stared at Naruto.

Geez, what is up with this guy! “Um, okay. Well I
just wanted you to know, that only the people that were alive over 12
years ago and were old enough to understand, know that the Kyuubi is
sealed inside me. So I don't want this to get out to anyone else.”

“Why?”

“Why! Because a lot of the people that know about me, hate
me. They think I'm a monster. Even though I'm just the container, not
the demon itself. I don't need any more people hating me.”

Gaara thought about that. He, too, had grown up feared and hated.
Hearing people call him a monster. He was used to it by now. “Why
do you hide your true appearance. You are using a henge aren't you?”

How the heck does he know that? Naruto looked with surprise
at Gaara.

“Shukaku told me. He can tell you do not really look like
that.”

Wow, now what do I say? Naruto had no idea what he could
say that would explain why he was in a henge. He was quiet a few
moments, then decided to just tell the truth. This guy has a demon in
him too, and he must have went through the same pain growing up as I
did. I can actually see the pain in his eyes, even though he hides it
well. “Okay, can I trust you?”

Trust me? No one has ever asked me that before.

Naruto could see the question in Gaara's eyes. He doesn't know
what trust is? “Gaara, have you ever had a friend or
someone you cared a lot about?”

“No, I've never had a friend. I did think Yashamaru cared
about me. He took care of me when I was small. But then he tried to
kill me.”

Whoa! We are alike! I have friends now, but when I was younger
I was alone. The Hokage would visit me and he treated me well. But he
was too busy to visit me a lot. And some people did try to
kill me too. “You are like me, Gaara. But now I have
friends. I would fight and die if I had to, for my friends. I would
like to be your friend, if you let me.” Naruto looked at Gaara
with sincerity in his eyes.

He wants to be my friend. But it's too late now for me, isn't
it? No one ever wanted to be my friend before. Is this what he meant
by trust? I have to trust that he would be my friend. “Yes.”

“Is that a yes that I can be your friend?”

“Yes.”

“Great!” Naruto jumped up and ran to the red head and
gave him a hug.

He's touching me. The sand didn't try to stop him. Gaara
didn't hug back, but he didn't push Naruto away either.

Naruto realized his new friend wasn't hugging him back. Oh
well, maybe he just needs to get used to it. Naruto let go of
Gaara and moved back a little. He looked at Gaara's face and noticed
for the first time that the lines around the red head's eyes looked
like they were caused by tiredness, or that Gaara didn't sleep well.

“Don't you get much sleep?”

“I don't sleep.”

“Why not?” How can anyone not sleep?

“If I sleep, then Shukaku will take over completely and I
will be lost.”

“How could he do that? I can sleep, the fox can't take over
me in my sleep.”

“It must be a different kind of seal then.”

“Oh...well that is just horrible!” I wish I could
do something to help him. But I can't take his seal off. That would
kill him. It's not like the seal Sasuke had. But...what if I
separated his demon's chakra from his own. And then put up a chakra
barrier around the demon, so that it couldn't get out and take over
Gaara?

“Hey Gaara?”

“Yes?”

“I may be able to help you with your demon. So that you can
sleep.”

“Shukaku doesn't like that idea. But I do.”

Naruto laughed. “Okay, this is where you need to trust me.”

“I trust you.”

Wow! This guy is really weird! He already trusts me and he
hasn't known me that long at all. Well, I'm glad for it anyway.
“Thanks! Okay, I'm going to touch you and you need to be
patient and wait till I tell you I'm finished. Okay?”

“Okay.”

Naruto felt like laughing again at his new friend, but he didn't
want to offend him. Naruto put his right hand on Gaara's left
shoulder then Naruto activated his enhanced sight, so he could look
more deeper within Gaara. He was searching all the chakra pathways
and isolating where the demon's chakra was mixed up with the red
heads. He was also searching for where the demon was at. There would
be a larger source of demon chakra where it was located.

When Naruto finally found where the demon was sealed, he started
pushing all the demon's chakra that he had collected from Gaara's
chakra pathways to the demon. Once he was sure that all the demon's
chakra was in one place, he pushed some of his own chakra into Gaara,
so that he could build a strong barrier around the demon. Once Naruto
was sure that the barrier was too strong for the demon's chakra to
get out of it, he deactivated his enhanced eyesight and then looked
into Gaara's eyes.

“I'm finished. You can sleep now.” Naruto smiled at
Gaara.

He did it. Shukaku is very quiet now. I can barely feel his
presence. And I feel stronger. I feel good. Gaara stared into
Naruto's eyes with awe. Then he put his own hand on Naruto's, the one
that was still on his shoulder. “Thank you.”

Naruto's smile got wider. “You're welcome. That is what
friends are for you know, to help each other out.”

“Friend.” Gaara smiled.

“Yes.”

“Now tell me why you look like that?”

Naruto stopped smiling. Then sighed. “Well, it's a long
story.”
