AN:
Sorry for the delay, this is slightly smaller then I usually get out, but I
should have another chapter to you before this weekend, (or I will try) sorry I
actually had to work, and then had to take a trip…Not to mention its hard
coming up with stuff when you are feeling a little disillusion with SASUKE, I
mean NARUTO Manga… I mean the Anime episodes right now are kinda cool, but what
is up with the last 20 or so chapters of Naruto on the Manga? When is Naruto
going to take the stage, when does he get to kick but, rather then get his but
kicked? Sorry Ranting…
Well I
hope you enjoy, this is not so much about Kyubi and Naruto talking, so much as
showing their closeness and how it has really affected Naruto…
Also,
I keep getting reviews about pairings… Once again this is more about Naruto and
Kyubi and how they get along, not about finding love… I still believe he is way
to screwed up to be in serious relationship. They’re maybe dates, possible sex,
cannot guarantee Het or Yaoi as I never know were my muse will take me, but no
hard-core couples set up…
Enjoy!

CH5 – Tanuki’s Advice
After
the Gaara Rescue…
Naruto stared out at the
deserted streets of Suna. The night was quiet, as it was several hours before
sunrise. He had been staring out into the night from the rooftop of the dorms
that Suna had provided to the Konoha team upon their arrival back to the
village. Unable to sleep after the events a few days earlier, Naruto had snuck
out around midnight to think. He was pretty sure Neji and Gai had sensed him
coming up here, but they had let him be, for which he was grateful.
He knew he should talk this
over with Kyubi, but another part of him, the part ashamed, held him back. Once
again, HE had lost control. Luckily Kakashi-sensei had been able to apply the
seal to stop kyubi’s chakra from possessing him. Naruto had thought he was
finally getting his anger under control, but he had obviously not learned to
control it enough. For that past year or so, he and Kyubi had worked on controlling
his temper, so as to not allow Kyubi’s chakra to merge with his own beyond his
ability to handle. Hopefully to prevent him from going into the four-tail
stage, where neither was in control of his body.
But the sight of Gaara’s
body had triggered something in him. It had begun the moment the
news that Akutski had captured the Kazekage. Kyubi and Naruto had worked so
hard to discover and destroy certain triggers to his anger. The only ones they
had thought still existed were tied to Orochimaru and Sasuke, and that as long
as he held his temper it should be fine. But now it appears he had more
problems then he knew. “Of all people to see that,” he muttered, “this will get
back to Baa-chan,”
“Uzumaki.” a monotone voice
spoke form behind him.
Naruto twisted around to see
Gaara standing behind him.
“Gaara!? Should you be up? I
mean you were dead earlier this week.” Naruto asked jokingly, scratching the
back of his head to hide his unease.
“Uzumaki, something is
bothering you?” Gaara moved closer to lean against the ledge next to Naruto.
“Shouldn’t you be sleeping?”
Naruto asked, returning to his position.
“I have not slept for as far
back as I can remember, although Shukaku no longer resides in me, I am not
quiet ready to accept sleep that easily. It will take time to adjust,” Gaara
turned his head to look at Naruto. “what is your excuse?”
Debating on whether to
speak, and if so how honest he should be, Naruto finally shrugged, “I guess if
anyone could understand it would be you,” he muttered softly, “I lost control
of Kyubi again on this mission.”
“He took control of your
mind?” Gaara asked quietly.
“Ie, my seal prevents that,
because of the training ero-seninin gave me, when I become angry I pull on his
chakra. It starts a chain reaction in which I pull too much and then my baser
instincts take over. Unfortunately, it seems my ‘baser” instincts resonate with
Kyubi too strongly. So my body with all that chakra acts on those instincts,
and neither Kyubi nor I am in ‘control’.”
Gaara was silent, absorbing
Naruto’s words carefully. “You are one of the kindest people I know on an
instinctive level, I can not picture your ‘baser’ instincts being something to
worry and loose sleep over,” Gaara turned, “what are you not saying?”
Taking a few breathes,
Naruto braced himself, trying not to tighten his hands, or strike out at walls
as he desired. “I may appear the happy cheerful person, but I am still
Jinchuuriki. I have all the pent up rage, anger and loneliness that all of us
carry; mine is just buried much deeper. I can forgive Gaara, but I can’t
forget, and somewhere inside of me I still want to hurt the ones who hurt me.”
Gaara looked at Naruto and
then nodded. “I see, so instead of dealing with your anger, you just buried it,
and since Kyubi is the Bijou known for its rage, yours resonates with his, and
you start striking out at all that is in your path?”
Chuckling, “You always were
the smart one, Gaara.”
“Uzumaki, you are not as
stupid as you act, and as good an actor as you are, you can not hide from
someone who is like you. I always knew you had the rage and loneliness. Your
eyes when you smiled that wide grin, I could almost see you suppressing the
urge to hurt the ones who were cruel to you. Where my rage was on
the surface, yours was hidden away. I assumed that you had purposely hidden
yours, so that you could be the person you wanted to be, not what your village
tried to make you,” he sighed, “I see now, you were not conscious in your
decision to bury your negative emotions.”
“Yes and No. The problem is
that I have for the most part dealt with my childhood, but I have holes in my
memories. Some are memories I myself have suppressed until my mind is able to
deal, and I don’t think I can as yet. Others, I believe
the council may have had memory suppression seals placed on me to keep me from
going insane. But the emotions tied to those memories,” Naruto looked into the
sky. “those are still their unresolved.”
“What makes you believe
this?”
Glancing from the corner of
his eye to see his reaction. “Kyubi.”
A slight tension and then
the body relaxed. “You communicate with him?”
“Ah! It’s kind of funny, he
is known as the most terrifying of the Bijou, yet to me, he has become friend,
father figure, older brother, teacher and enemy all in one.” Naruto turned and
tensed. “Konoha would kill me if they knew he communicates with me.”
“Then you should not let
them know,” Gaara looked into the sky. “I am the last to give out information
on you and your prisoner. I myself listened to mine, and he is known as the
insane one. But do you trust him? That would worry me.”
“I did research and he has
confirmed to me, when Kyubi gives his word, it is binding, I trust on what he
gives his word on. For the most part, of everyone around me, he has been the
most honest in his dealings. Not that I don’t doubt at times, but he has not
betrayed or played me false in anyway, as yet. I know of no one who has been as
bluntly honest as he has. Even Baa-Chan and Ero-seninin are hiding information
from me. I understand they have to, but it makes it hard to trust them.”
Naruto took a breathe, “It
is not even that they are hiding things from me, but that they lie to cover it,
instead of just telling me that they can’t answer my questions. Jiji, when he
was alive, would tell me ‘When you’re older’ or ‘I promise someday to explain’.
But Baa-Chan and ero-seninin they lie, or redirect the conversation. It is as
if they think they have to protect me, but it is the wrong way to go about it.
It only adds to my anger.”
Gaara nodded his head, “Then
you must find away to get at those memories and deal with the anger. Can Kyubi
help you access them?”
Naruto smiled, he had known
instinctively Gaara could be trusted. They were the same, even if Gaara was now
free of his tenant. “Ah, he looks through the ones I sealed, and slowly opens
them to my dreams to start working on them gently, then we take it from their.
But some he thinks are better left alone, and he is not sure how to access the
ones Konoha sealed without blasting them open, which would be bad,” he sighed.
“what worries me is that Jiraiya set up triggers to drawing on Kyubi and if I
cannot get them under control it could cause problems when Sakura and I go
after Sasuke.”
“Why?”
“Sasuke, Orochimaru and the
rivalry, those trigger me faster then anything. But I promised Sakura that we
would go after him, and we are running out of time.”
“I wish I could help,
Uzumaki.”
Naruto turned and smiled at
Gaara, “Well you could.” Gaara tilted his head in questions, “Start by calling
me Naruto, instead of Uzumaki.”
For the first time in a
while, Gaara smiled.
Kyubi,
watched as the memory played. He smiled to himself. The boy Gaara was truly
strong to have stayed sane with that crazy Tanuki in him, but Kyubi couldn’t
help worry that he might spill the boy’s secrets. But just as Naruto trusted in
him to help with his memories and anger, he would trust in Naruto. If he
believed this Gaara could be trusted with their secrets, he would hope for the
best, though it went against his nature.
Besides,
he had seen from earlier memories, his boy, he could truly connect to people in
ways that forged bonds stronger then anything Kyubi had seen.
Crossing
his front paws in front of him, he decided to think on the tailed form problem.
Perhaps there was away to direct the state, so that instead of uncontrolled
destruction, the rage could be directed.
As he
thought on it, he felt the air shift, as Naruto stepped into the room.
“I see
you have decided to trust the Tanuki boy?” Kyubi growled in mock anger.
“Spying
on my memories,” Naruto asked raising one eyebrow. “he is family in a way. I
trust him to not spill secrets. Just as he can trust me to always come if he
needs me.”
Kyubi
tilted his head, “And do you truly trust me?”
Naruto
tilted his own head, “Further then I can throw you, which isn’t very far, why?”
“Well,
Kitsune’s always leave a ‘present’ for family before they leave.”
Naruto
suddenly smirked evilly at Kyubi, who returned the smirk with a wicked grin.
Naruto snuck out of Gaara’s
office smiling. Now to go meet with Sakura at Chiyo’s grave, and then they
could get out, hopefully before Gaara went to is office.
Naruto and Gaara stared at
each other at the gates of Suna.
This
is uncomfortable, he through to himself. He had never really had to say goodbye to
anyone. Jiraiya and he had left Konoha without saying good-bye, the few times
he had interacted with Gaara or anyone else he could call friends, he had just
acted as if he would see them later. I
really suck at this interaction.
Long conversations at night
when no one was around, check; Communicating without words,
check; Forming a bond for life, double-check. Saying goodbye in front of
others, bad….
“I guess this is when you
normally shake hands and part ways…I’m bad at that kinda a thing so…”
Naruto froze looking at
Gaara who had his hand outstretched. Great,
now even the ex-emo-psycho is better then I am at this.
Suddenly Naruto felt sand
grabbing and pulling his hand forward. He smiled softly. Trust Gaara to realize
that for all his bluff, Naruto was bad at touching as much as he was. To use
the gifts given by his Bijou, that made all the sense in the world. Gaara’s way
of saying, No beast resides in me, but
the mark is still their. We are still the same.
Naruto looked on as Neji
yelled at Lee about trying to copy Gai and Kakashi, truly that was a memory
that needed to be sealed. Creepy. Putting
his hands in his pocket as they all continued to walk; he felt something brush
his hand.
Pulling it out, he smiled
softly to see the small sand statue of Shukaku. “Ah, family! It almost makes me
feel bad about the going away present I left him.”
“What was that Naruto?”
Sakura asked.
Scratching the back of his
head, “Nothing Sakura-chan.” He stated running forward to catch up with her.
BACK
IN SUNA…
Gaara walked into his office
with his siblings. Temari and Kankuro had been rather clingy since the
kidnapping, not that he minded, to much. Suddenly feeling a tension in the air,
he looked up, and froze.
“Uzumaki!” he muttered
darkly.
Standing in front of him was
a traumatizing scene being played out, by what he assumed was Naruto’s Kage
Bushins. The Green wearing Sensei, Gai was his name, and his
clone student, Lee were hugging each other, tears streaming from their eyes,
while a sunset appeared in the back of them. This scene, which he once
witnessed in person, was horrifying.
Sending his sand out to
crush the clones, they suddenly turned to him.
“This is how I say goodbye to my family.” then both
clones disappeared.
Temari and Kankuro started
snickering, and Gaara allowed a small smile. “You realize this means war?” he
asked of his siblings.
“Oh yeah, we have enough to
deal with, no need for us to have had to witness that horror.” Kakuro muttered,
catching on to Gaara’s meaning.
Temari smiled and chuckled.
“We have to have it planned out for when I am next in Konoha so I can set it up
then.”
As the two started to sit
and discuss how to prank the ultimate prankster Naruto, Gaara smiled softly,
“Family.”
Tbc…this
is part 1 of 3. Next up, controlling a tailed rage…
