*ON HOLD* Tails Together(A Naruto Neglect fic.)

Chapter 4 〰Wave〰

When I woke up I quickly ate and got ready. My foxes returned and I put the camp fire out. The sun was just coming out and it was a little cold so I put my robe from the sage of six paths on. It is so warm so I love it. I started to jump from branch to branch having one thought going through my mind 'Make new friends'. Looking threw the trees I came up to a clearing and landed safely. I needed to get across the river and from the looks of it there isn't a bridge. Looking to my left I noticed a man with a small fishing boat so I asked him to take me across the river. He told me yes but only half way and I noticed he tensed at the subject of 'why' when I asked him. Apparently some men were in this town and trying to take it over by any means necessary. That pisses me off! I used a chakra technique to walk on the water and walked the rest of the way after saying thank you to the man. As I walked up the street I noticed it was strangely quiet and that creeped me out.

I had been walking in the quiet for a half and hour until I started hearing the shouts of people yelling "STOP!" And "Please spare him!" I noticed that a large group of people were surrounding a fence line and inside was three men all beating and attacking the fourth. He looked like a buff man that was tan and had dark brown hair. He was all cut up and it looked like the weapons the bad men were using were coated in what smelled like a simple poison. He would surely die if not treated right then so I ran into the crowd, quickly jumped over the fence and to the men. The crowd went silent save a few cries from what looked like the bruised and beaten mans family of a boy and women. I made my staff materialize and smacked two thugs with it. They were knocked out cold and the third man that dodged my staff was on the ground with fear in his eyes. I spoke "Tell your boss that I won't be even half this kind to him! If he or any one of his men step foot in this village I won't hesitate to strip him of everything he owns and do worse of what you did to this man! Now GO!" With that the man took his friends and ran off as fast as he could while struggling to carrying 2 large men. After the villagers recovered from their shock they all cheered and I quickly healed the man and carried him to his house that his wife and son guide me too. Once there they gave me a place to sleep after we ate and I learned the sons name was Inari. The boy told me all sorts of things but it was mostly about his grandpa... Tazuna I think, that is off building a bridge. The next morning when I left I told him I'll visit him again and left in the direction the man told me was the biggest village in the wave.

Narrative pov.

Arriving in the village Naruto noticed how quiet and cautious the people there were. Everyone seemed to be watching him intently and how if you moved to suddenly they would flinch. After walking for an hour the villagers had decided he wasn't dangerous and left without saying a word, even more weird. 'They couldn't possibly know I'm a jinchuriki.... Could they?!?!' 'Settle down kit, it's impossible for these weakling to know that.' He was glad he had Kurama with him so he didn't feel as lonely and out of place.
