Naruto: Winds and Changes

Naruto sweat dropped, 'Kyuu-chan? Is something wrong with Ten-chan? She seems kind of… angry.'

Kyuubi sighed, honestly for someone so intelligent he could really be dense. 'I have no idea Naruto-kun. Maybe you should ask her,' well, she for one was not going to give him all the answers for his relationship problems, especially since none of these little girls were worthy of being with her container.

Instead she decided to focus on a different topic, 'You know you really did a good job out there. I was actually impressed with your performance.'

Naruto felt a warm energy coming from the seal that he started associating with Kyuubi feeling positive emotions towards him, a rare occurrence if there ever was one. It had only started happening sometime last week and even then only two times before, but when he did something, or said something to Kyuubi that was nice or made her proud? Sometimes an odd but not unpleasant warmth would come out from the seal. He smiled even though she could not see it, 'Thanks Kyuubi, that means a lot coming from you.'

Within her seal Kyuubi smiled for a second before it left. She closed her eyes for a moment before heaving a sigh, "Are you proud of him?"

There was a few moments of silence before the voice answered, 'Of course, he truly is his father's son…' there was a slight pause before the voice spoke again, 'and what about you?'

Kyuubi frowned, "I don't know what you mean… I'm just glad that he has not proven to be a disappointment, I would have been rather upset if all that training I gave him went to waste."

The voice gave off a laugh, "I think you do know what I mean, but I won't be the one to tell you. You'll have to figure it out on your own."

Kyuubi scowled as she listened to the voice, "Do not be so full of yourself. You know nothing about me; do not presume to lecture me on how I might feel."

However the voice had already left, leaving Kyuubi alone, much to her frustration.

Several miles outside of Konoha, Jiraiya just finished disposing of another group of shinob who were preparing a summoning seal, along with a hand full of ANBU. He knew that he would not be able to find all of the enemy shinobi and summoning seal arrays that his snake of a former teammate had placed, but every little bit they could find helped.

As he wiped the blood from a kunai he had used to slit the throat of one of the enemy ninja, he looked over at the stadium, I wonder how the gaki's doing? His battle was first so it should be finishing up soon…

"Jiraiya-sama," One of the ANBU walked up to him. "We have located another summoning seal array one mile east of here."

Sighing Jiraiya nodded, "Then let's head out, the more of these summoning seals we destroy the better off Konoha will be."

"Hai!" The ANBU all gather around Jiraiya as they took off through the trees.

A dozen miles away in a more secluded section of the forest, Gaara growled at anything and everything, especially the people who were taking his cage closer to Konoha. Had it not been for the seals on the cage that suppressed his chakra, he would have already killed everyone here so that he could find the one person who could prove his existence.

"WHERE IS HE! WHERE IS UZUMAKI! MOTHER MUST HAVE HIS BLOOD! I MUST PROVE MY EXISTANCE!"
