The Soul Of Artemis

Protective Goddess

"YOU CAN'T ! I WILL SERIOUSLY KILL YOU!" Naruto screamed as he held Gaara to his chest. Gaara didn't say a word, he kept quiet as he hugged Naruto. Naruto looked to the council who was too just trying to fix the village and wait for Jiraiya to come back to appoint a Kage.

Though they wanted to torture and lock Gaara up, for something he had no control over. Yeah Gaara injured a leaf Shinobi and everybody in the room disliked him for that, though who was the one that calmed Gaara down?

It was Naruto, and he would calm Gaara down until that seal was taking off of him.

"He's a criminal Naruto. He needs to be locked up." Shikaku said, he said what nobody else wanted to say but everybody knew it was the truth.

"He was being controlled Nara-San. He didn't do it of his own free will." Naruto said calmly, he liked everybody in the room right now, though Sakura's father might get punched in his throat.

"How would you know that?" Fugaku asked, he leaned back in his chair and spoke.

"I'm an Uzumaki, and a Namikaze. I may not know how to seal yet, but identifying a simple control based seal is as easy as breathing." The room looked at Naruto in shock. Naruto blinked calmly as he felt Gaara speak.

"I'm sleepy Artemis. Why am I sleepy?" Gaara asked quietly, and Kurama spoke while the room sat stunned wondering what their next words would asking about how he knew his heritage.

"When I had you place me in his conscience, I was able to subdue Shukaku for a little. You were really meant to be his friend, our chakra does calm him down, like natural made melatonin."

"You can sleep Mania. Would you like to sleep on Rahn?" Naruto asked and Gaara shook his head, just started sleeping on Naruto.

"So, I know of my heritage. I don't know why you all had to hide it. Though I'll say this." Naruto eyes flashed red in a protective gleam, Hiashi watched in wonder as Naruto surprised him everyday at the progression of his power.

"Gaara is not a criminal and when the pervert gets back in the village he can remove the seal and we can make Gaara a ninja." Naruto said and Hiashi hummed.

"While that makes sense, do you believe the sand village would just hand Gaara to us?" Hiashi said and Naruto nodded.

"Yes, because if he goes back to Sunagakure they will kill him for not getting the job done." Naruto said, and the door slammed open. A drunken woman with a pig and a black haired woman stormed in the room with Jiraiya following behind.

Fugaku stood up and decided that since the pervert sannin is back that he should just have him check over the sleepy teen. Naruto blinked calmly because he already knew what the Uchiha was thinking.

"Hey Uchiha-san?" Naruto asked walking over to lay Gaara on the couch. Leaving a clone so Gaara could sense Naruto's chakra. Naruto walked over and folded his arms.

"Are you the reason why Sasuke can't hang out with our group anymore? Where is he?" Naruto asked, Shino who was the closest to Sasuke said that Fugaku and Mikoto usually ushered him out saying that he was training.

Though the fact of the matter is that Sasuke was gone and the Uchiha's were glad that he was gone. Though until the issue arouse they all were trained to say the same thing.

"He's getting better so he doesn't become the clans disgrace." Naruto blinked calmly, he looked at Fugaku and immediately he spoke.

"You are lying to me. You think I wouldn't be able to tell?" Fugaku blinked, he hadn't know the wild child would be so quick on the uptake. While Naruto and Fugaku were having a staring contest, Hiashi ushered Jiraiya over to check the boy over.

"Wild child. I do not think you should add murder to your record." Tsume said calmly, she was all for the extermination of Fugaku, that man definitely pissed her off in this life and the one before it.

"If I find out Sasuke left the village because you assholes have done something to him, you better pray to kami I do not annihilate your entire clan and use your clan's blood to nourish my dying lands." Naruto said and the blonde woman just looked at Naruto.

A spit fire, just like his mother.

"Where is Neji? You seem to act crazy with out him." Naruto blinked at Fugaku and chuckled.

"I'll act crazy with it without my future husband. Neji doesn't control me. Watch yourself Fugaku...." Naruto looked over to Itachi who was quietly minding his business.

"There might be somebody in your clan that will be your downfall." Naruto left the conversation at that, he looked over towards Gaara to see Jiraiya standing up and looking to the council.

"The young teen here was being controlled. It was a seal that amplified his crazy tendencies and bloodlust. He might need therapy to see how bad it is normally, though I don't believe in locking him up. He is only thirteen." Naruto sighed calmly and walked over to Gaara.

"Thank you Jiraiya." Naruto said sweetly, he really meant it. He made the clone disappear and he ended up shaking Gaara.

"Hey Gaara, let's get some food. What are you in the mood for?" Gaara opened his teal eyes, he immediately felt so much better.

"I want to sleep. Can we eat later?" Naruto couldn't say no.

"Yeah, let's introduce you to my friends. I'm sure they are about to take a group nap soon." Naruto said as him and Garra walked out while the council along with the two loyal sannin talked about the village and what really happened during the invasion.

Naruto ended up dragging all his friends to the Hyuga clan. Everybody was down when they heard they were having a group nap. Naruto even left Gaara with Shikamaru for a little while he headed to grab Neji.

Naruto came back with Neji and took them to a room in the clan that Naruto made. Since Hiashi didn't like Naruto and Neji sleeping on the sparring room floor, Naruto made a room in the house where members of the clans could come and nap together.

Though this what the first time it was used.

The walls and floor were padded with comfy blankets, there was some couches though you majority slept on the floor. There was a closet with blankets and pillows.

Gaara looked around, he saw Kiba and Shino immediately huddle near one another. Gaara could tell they were going to date or they are already dating.

"Gaara would you like to lay with me and Shikamaru?"Choji asked, Naruto and Neji were talking in the corner about something and Gaara nodded feeling calm.

"Yes, thank you." Gaara moved to lay in the middle of them. Shikamaru looked over at Gaara and patted his hair.

"It's just something about you goddesses." Gaara opened his teal eyes as he looked into Shikamaru's darker orbs.

"You all seem to hypnotize the male population." Shikamaru said and Gaara closed his eyes while Shukaku hummed a little.

"I might've been wrong about who you would fall in love with in this life."

"Huh?" Gaara asked as he was heading closer to dream land.

"Sweet dreams." Shukaku said and Gaara drifted to sleep.
