The Son of Two Heroes

Chapter 7

"Konohamaru! Are you alright!?" Naruto yelled running to get around the corner before Sakura could really hurt the boy. As he turned it though he saw something he hadn't expected. What greeted him was Sakura standing stunned in the street. And a older boy who held Konohamaru up by the collar of his shirt. Naruto was not happy to see that. "Hey! What the fuck are you doing?"

The older boy scoffed, "this brat ran into me and I'm gonna teach him a lesson."

"Put him down. Now." Naruto commanded.

"What are you gonna do if I don't?" The guy said arrogantly.

Only then did Naruto by pure natural speed appear inside the man's guard, holding his kunai to the man's throat. "I'm not going to ask again."

"I didn't even see him move!" The older boy thought dropping the kid. Naruto disappeared and reappeared next to Sakura holding Konohamaru, who he then set down.

"Kono...run along. I'll catch up with you later." Naruto said in a no nonsense voice.

"Yes sir, big brother Naruto!" With that the youngster ran off as fast as he could.

"You two, you're here for the chunin exams right?" The blond asked.

"We are. But I'm gonna kick your ass right here for that stunt you just pulled!" The teenager reached for the bandaged item on his back. When suddenly a rock hit him in the head, thrown from behind him. When he turned to look, his eyes were met with the blood red Sharingan of Konohagakure's last Uchiha.

"A, you couldn't touch Naruto if you tried. And B, random fighting inside the village is prohibited, especially right now." The black haired boy said.

"Hey! You! Don't be trying to sneak up behind Sasuke like that!" Naruto yelled pointing behind the boy in the tree. With that a figure walked out, most notable feature being the kanji for love etched into his forehead.

"Kankuro. You're a disgrace to the village." The figure said.

"Well you see Gaara it's like thi-..."

"Shut up or I'll kill you." The redhead cut him off.

"You're all shinobi from Sunagakure, correct?" Naruto asked. "Here for the exams?"

"Yes we are." The girl answered. "Are you taking them as well?"

"Indeed." Naruto said, his eyes then narrowing as he looked at Gaara. "You, what's your name?"

"They call me Gaara of the Desert. What's your's?"

"Uzumaki Naruto."

"I hope we get to fight, you too Uchiha." And with that the three sand shinobi left.

"Guys." Naruto shook his head. "If you face him at all, especially without help, run immediately. You'll die if you don't."

"What do you mean run, Naruto?" Sasuke asked.

"I could feel his chakra the whole time. He's just like me. And since he's from Sunagakure, I'd say he's the Jinchuriki of the One Tails."

"Another Jinchuriki?" Sakura asked.

"Yes, it's likely I'll end up facing him. Either me or Sasuke, maybe even you Sakura. I'd rather both of you forfeit immediately if facing him, but I can't force you. Just make sure you're content with dying." The blond sighed.

"Kami Naruto, is it that bad?" Sasuke asked.

"S'ke you know I'd never tell you to back down from a fight, so yeah it's that bad. As your friend and teammate I'm begging you to not fight him if at all possible." Naruto was staring at the ground as they walked now.
