Naruto snuck into his own window and took a shower, he washed all the blood off of him and sat in the shower...adding to the collection of scars on his legs and arms.

After twenty new additions he watched them heal into scars and growled. He looked at the last of the blood drain and he stood stopped the shower and got dressed. In pajamas and walked downstairs to see a worried Minato.

"You were gone all day." He frowned.

"Uh...sorry?" Naruto sat down.

"Naruto. I heard about the villager. I mean you ha 've got to be kidding me!" Minato growled. "You killed a man!"

"I've almost been killed by villagers...they deserve it." Naruto hissed.

"Naruto do you hear yourself? Your sounding as if you want revenge. And you know that-"

"THAT WHAT!?" Naruto interrupted him. "THAT SASUKE DID THE SAME!? YOU AFRAID I MIGHT GO ROGUE LIKE HE DID!? HUH!? GO ON AND RUB IT IN MY FACE HOW I FAILED TO GET SASUKE BACK. HOW IM TARGETED BY A GROUP THAT WANTS ME DEAD! GO AHEAD AND BEAT! ABUSE ME! DO WHAT YOU MUST! I DON'T CARE! CALL ME A MONSTER AND A DEMON! TRY TO KILL ME! IF THAT SATISFIES YOU IT WON'T MATTER BECAUSE IF I DIE ILL DRAG YOU TO HELL WITH ME!" Naruto growled.

His was trembling and he eyes the not shocked Minato. Naruto flipped the table into the far wall and picked his dad up by the collar.

"If you compare me to Sasuke again...you'll regret it." Naruto threatened Minato's life.

Mina to slapped Naruto across the face. Naruto just looked the other way, brushing it off.

"Speak to me like that again I'll make you regret it...now clean the mess you made. Now!" Minato ordered.

"Fine." Naruto growled and picked the table up and set it down.

He noticed he shattered the picture frame of Minato and Kushina and his eyes twitched. He ran to it and made sure the photo was unharmed. Naruto placed his hand on the floor to stand and his hand got sliced open from the glass and he found another frame and lightly fixed it and put it on the table. Naruto swept the floor and threw the shards in the trash and sighed. Minato looked at the photo and frowned.

"Your grounded for a week. You won't be able to go outside. Now go to your room." Minato folded his arms.

Naruto looked at him and nodded silently. He walked to his room and shut the door gently. He sat in his bed and stared at the ground. Naruto suddenly saw his room flash red with blood for a second and his eyes shot wide open.

He looked at his hands only to see claws. Then bone, the rotting flesh handing from it and he trembled. He blinked and it vanished. He looked up and he was met with two sharingan eyes. He blinked and they were gone. He felt someome hug him...and he teared up.

"Finish what I couldn't...I should have killed you when it was easer too." Kushina smiled softly." Back when you were frail, and weak...now, you are the monsters feared you would become..." she spoke

"I-i'm no monster..." Naruto choked out.

"Your father will grow to hate you as I did..." she mumbled, smiling, her eyes shadowed by her hair.

"H-he would never" Naruto felt tears run down his face.

"Your friends will grow scared, and call you names..." she giggled.

"Stop! Please!" Naruto covered his ears.

He went wide eyed as he felt a sharp pain in his chest He looked down to see she had stabbed him in the lung. Naruto coughed up blood and gagged, spitting it out.

"...and even Kakashi, will want you dead!" Her eyes appeared and they were red.

Naruto heard Kurama chuckle. Kurama being the one behind the vicious immages. Naruto blinked and snapped the thoughts away, but pain remained. He looked down, to see he had stabbed himself. Naruto pulled it out and blood gushed. Inside of Naruto's mouth was red, coated in blood. Naruto felt liquid poor into his lungs and he started to gasp for air.

The sound slowly healed and Naruto laid on the ground. For the next few days he refused water and Food. He wouldn't let Minato in his room, and he nailed wood to the window, to prevent unwanted visitors. There he felt like he was rotting away, but he didnt come out, not wanting his dad to worry.

After a week he walked out if his room and downstairs. Naruto made himself breakfast and ate it, afterwards Shunshining out of his house and onto the stone heads.

There waiting for him was Kakashi. Kakashi stood and looked at him. Naruto was about to leave but Kakashi grabbed his hand and held Ir lightly.

"Please don't avoid me." Kakashi sighed. "You seem tense. A nice relaxing hot spring could help. Come on." Kakashi said

"Last time I went there two men tried killing me by dragging me here." Naruto said with narrowed eyes.

"That won't happen." Kakas i sighes.

Naruto shuddered and sighed. "Promise?" Naruto asked.

"Promise." Kakashi smile.

"Okay...we can go." Naruto said.

Naruto grabbed Kakashi's shoulder and shunshined in front of the hot springs to see Jirayah doing some "research"

Naruto smirked and snuck up on him. His eyes turned red and he grew claws. Kakashi watched how quicklu the nine tails chakra reacted and that concerned him. Naruto jumped and roared at Jirayah.

"AAH!" Jirayah yelped and backed away.

"Hah! Got ya!" Naruto laughed and his eyes and nails turned to normal.

"Naruto! Seriously!?" Jirayah said, angered.

Naruto laughed and walked in the hot springs with Kakasi. Jirayah groaned and followed, might as well relax. Naruto sat down and looked at his shirt. Wondering if he should take it off and get in the water, knowing they will see the scars.

Jirayah and Kakashi were already in the water. Narut took off everything and walked to the water and stepped in. Kakashi went wide eyed, his jaw dropped. Jirayah looked at the scars with concern, already knowing they were there.

"Naruto...d-do you...?" Kakashi saw them down his legs and arms.

"Do I what?" Naruto opened an eye and looked at him.

Kakashi walked to him through the water and grabbed an arm lightly and looked at it. He noticed a huge scar, right above a lung and shuddered.

"What happened?" Kakashi asked.

"It is just battle scars from training." Naruto said.

"...tell me the truth." Kakashi said.

"..." Naruto looked at him. "What happened to relaxing?"

"Kakashi...I'll tell you later. For now let's just relax." Jirayah said.

Soon Jirayah told funny stories about What happened over the years. Kakashi laughed and listened. Naruto watched him and his eyes softened. Naruto found himself staring at Kakashi. He looked at his face. And his abs. He studied the marvelous silver hair and his mind began to wander. Naruto thought about when he kissed Kakashi to shut him up and Naruto smiled to himself. He then heard Jirayah sat something emmbarassing.

"Yeah Naruto missed you. He would mumble your name in his sleep. Oh Kakashi Sensei take me in your wonderfully built arms!" Jirayah mimicked.

"!?" Naruto blushed. "Oh yeah!? You were the one talking about how much you wanted to squeeze Tsunade's breasts when you were drunk!" Naruto said.

Jirayah blushed and then giggled, thinking about it. Kakashi laughed his lungs out. "You guys kill me!" He laughed out.

Naruto smiled and chuckled lightly. After awhile the three got out, dressed and eff the springs. Naruto folded his arms behind his head walked forwards. Sakura saw them and smiled.

"Hey guys!" She smiled and walked over.

"Hey Sakura. Your a fine young woman now that I can pay attention." Jirayah smiled.

Naruto nudged him and growled. "Don't be a perv to her!" Naruto said.

"Anyways...how have you been Naruto? " Sakura asked.

"Alive. And you?" Naruto avoided that question.

"Good. Oh I came to get you two. Tsunade wants us put on a misson. It won't be hard, just a mission to make sure we can handle things." Sakura said.

"Okay." Kakashi and Naruto said in unison.

Kakashi and Jirayah walked behind the two teen, keeping a distance.

"Naruto is tormented by the nine tails. He would wake screaming, bleeding because he would dig his nails in his skin as he slept. The stress from the training was getting at him and slowly. Naruto just broke. He would talk to himself yell at himself have arguments with himself and even cut himself to take his mind of the ment a pain. He became violent. He killed 20 people over the two years." Jirayah explained. "We ran into a bad group of men. And barrel made it out. His back was scarred heavily from it. He was trying to contain himself once, and lost it. He ended uo almost killing me, twice, and that's when he totally shut his old self away..." Jirayah said.

Kakashi looked at Naruto tearing up. He wiped his tears and walked up to Naruto and wrapped an arm around him protectively as they walked past villagers. Naruto didn't like the touch but liked Kakashi being there for him and didn't say anything. They walked to the tower and inside the office....and half wa y through assigning them a mission....everything, went in a dark turn.

"TSUNADE!" Shizune ran in.

"What is it!?" She looked at her with concern.

"ITS THE HIDDEN SAND! THE KASEKAGE! GARRA! HE HAS BEEN KIDNAPPES BY THE AKATUSKI! THWY ARE CALLING FOR AID!" She said.

Naruto, at the mention of Garra's name turned around and looked shockingly at Shizune. The word of Akatuski made his blood run cold. They were a group Naruto feared the most.

"T-they took Garra!?" Naruto gasped.

His eyes then burned red and his fangs bared. The air stared to sting from the foul chakra admitting off Naruto.

"
