N.P.O.V.

I awoke finding myself in a strange place. My wounds had been bound as I could smell food cooking which made my mouth water. I could remember being freed from my captivity by Kakashi. A range of emotions ran through me. I was happy that I was finally free of my captors but angry and sad that I had been taken away from the one person who has helped me through all of this. I already missed Sakura. I slowly made it to my feet as I remembered seeing how people walked around. Even though I never truly walked before, I stood up a bit shaky at first but I finally managed to make it towards a room where I had smelled the food cooking. Kakashi just stood there unaware that I was even in the room. I walked up to him grabbing the man by the throat hosting him a good couple of feet off the ground. A low threatening snarl escaped my lips as I could feel that Kyuubi wanted just as badly as I did to kill the man whom had freed us. Suddenly a familiar scent of cherry blossoms drifted up my nose as I could hear a young female gasping.

"Nartuo…..stop!" shouted out Sakura as she grabbed me from behind. I could feel both Kyuubi and me calming down as I gently put down Kakashi. I slowly turned my head towards Sakura surprised to see her there.

"…Sakura…?" I asked in question wondering why she was there.

"Its all right Naruto." she stated as she released me. My knees went weak as Sakura helped me over towards the table. I could tell that she wanted to ask why I would attack the one whom had freed me but, Kakashi stopped her.

"Its all right Sakura, I think I know the reason. Its because he thought that I have taken him away from you. It seems that Naruto has developed a strong bond with you. The one person whom has showed him that not all humans are bad." stated Kakashi. My stomach growled loudly forcing Sakura to burst out laughing after a couple of minutes of silence. I could feel myself blush about three shades of red. Kakashi brought over a large plate of food setting it down in front of me. I could feel my fangs lengthening at the sight of the food. "Go ahead and eat up Naruto. You need your strength." I dug into the food getting a strange look from Sakura as she pushed over silver objects towards me. "Sakura, Naruto doesn't know how to use silverware or anything else. He knows barely how to walk from studying people, this is the same way that he had learned to talk. We will have to teach him all of the basics. Reading, writing, all the things that Naruto never learned because they had kept him caged since birth." stated Kakashi.

-Naruto perhaps he can enlighten you about your parents. I know that your mother died giving birth to us.- stated Kyuubi. I swallowed the food that was in my mouth before I spoke.

"Kakashi what can you tell me about my parents?" I asked. Kakashi looked at me not surprised by my question. Kakashi told me about my mother Kushina and my father Minato. Both were kind, gentle, and loving people. Minato was a skilled and trained ninja. This word I had never heard before. Kakashi explained to me what ninja's were and what they did. I was told how my father used a special and unique technique known only to him to place Kyuubi into me. Somehow people had found out what my father did as he died trying to protect me before I was born. My mother died giving birth to me. After I was born I had been caged in fear because of what people thought. "But why is Sakura here?" I asked.

"Sakura asked me to train her to become a ninja. She wants to be able to protect herself and help others." Kakashi answered.

-Naruto what are you thinking?- asked Kyuubi.
