Lost little Jinchûriki (Naruto)

[UZUMAKI NARUTO]

Naruto wouldn't force the boy to eat if he didn't want to. He just noticed he seemed a little hungry. Maybe he wasn't a big fan of ramen like Naruto and that was alright. He had other stuff in the fridge that the boy was welcome to help himself to eat that Naruto probably wouldn't touch. He would take a few bites of his ramen sighing in content. It wasn't Ichiraku but it was close enough. That place would always be his favorite place to go to and eat. It held a lot of sentimental memories for him like the days when Team 7 had still been together. Those had been the days he thought with a smile stuffing more ramen into his mouth now. Then he heard Kokan speak to him asking him questions about Gaara's life. He would set down his chopsticks now wiping his mouth clean before looking to the boy a serious expression on his face now.

"All Jinchuriki for as long as they have existed have had a rough life Gaara and I were no exceptions. Everyone thought we were blood thirsty monsters out to get them. Hated and feared us for a good half of our lives. It wasn't until we proved ourselves through hard work and determination that we were able to get to where we are now." It was thanks to Jinchuriki like him and Killer Bee that most had begun to see them in a different light. Not as monsters but heroes who could do good in the world. Save people from danger and protect them from those that would harm them. Still he would never forget those days as a child so sad and depressed all the time. Those had made him who he was now and he liked to believe someday Kokan could be like them with determination and proper guidance.

A shinobi that had the respect and friendship of the entire village but he still wasn't sure if it could ever happen. The demon growled and churned inside of his body as if thinking about something. A fragile hand moved to be placed upon his clothed abdomen as he looked down at where his hand rested. This thing inside of him even now was thirsting blood and craving it. Staying at a positive place in his mind to ignore the beast inside as he looked back up at Naruto. This man across from him was everything that Kokan wanted to grow up and become just like him. A person that had the determination to make people see him in a different light. Maybe one day he can reach those heights but as things stand now he wasn't so sure. Finally getting his appetite back the boy ate a little more easier this time. Finally he removed the hand from his stomach as the boy looked up at the blonde warrior. One day he will show people he is a true warrior rather people like it or not. As Kokan nodded his head to nothing in particular. "One day I will show people I am not a monster but a true shinobi like you and Kazekage. Whatever training I need to control this thing I will take openly and willingly." the boy made a promise to Naruto and himself.

Naruto was sure Kokan would always have his doubts. He was only a child after all and barely a Genin. He had a long way to go to reach a level on control and power he had but with help from people like himself, Gaara, and Killer Bee he would get there. The main thing they had to instill into him was determination and the will to never give up. To make himself known to the world and to demand it's respect in return. That determination was what would show eveyone he wasn't a monster than he was a human being just like them and that he could tame and befriend his Bijuu to use it's power for the sake of good and to protect their village. He wouldn't give up until the young male had achieved this and would do his part to ensure Shukaku came around to protect the boy instead of trying to seize total control over him.

He would smile seeing him eat some more maybe he was getting through to him after all. Shukaku wouldn't make things easy he was sure but he would handle that for Kokan. Hearing him speak he smirked hearing his promise to better himself to prove himself to his village. "That's the spirit Kokan. Tomorrow we begin with the basics. Drawing out your Bijuu's chakra which'll allow you to use more advanced techniques like the multiple shadow clone jutsu I'll teach you tomorrow." Naruto would say standing up with his own bowl now having finished. He then walked to the sink dropping the bowl into it and turned around to face Kokan again.

Naruto himself knew that as did Gaara but they got through it pretty much okay. Though times were rough then and they haven't got any better since then either. The boy knew the tailed beast inside will do anything to stop Naruto from helping the boy deal with this thing growing inside of him. If Kokan doesn't be careful he would be like Gaara reborn when he was psychotic. Kokan looked across the table as his sensei explained what they would have to do to start his training. Could it be as easy as they explain it or was it all just an act to look easy? Whatever the task if he doesn't succeed then the beast will control him until he dies. The boy was still unsure inside though he was confident externally. Let just hope all of this training will work out in the end. "If possible... could we see if we can get the Kazekage to train with us? I haven't exactly met him yet but I would like to." he added with a little hope in his voice.

Naruto knew from experience how hard it could be to control a Bijuu's power. Without positive reinforcement and a strong resolve it was easy to get overwhelmed and taken over by the Bijuu's chakra when enraged or upset. His determination and strong resolve to protect his friends is what had eventually won Kurama over. It was a long and far from easy road but he believed with enough patience Kokan would get there someday. He would befriend Shukaku and win him over somehow and he would ensure he made him ready for that day with Gaara's help. "Sure I think I could arrange that. He was the former host before you so he'd know a lot more about Shukaku and his techniques then I would." He did know that Shukaku seemed to like to take over sometimes when the host fell asleep and was most vulnerable. He'd only defeated Shukaku in the end by headbutting Gaara the pain forcing the Kazekage to wake up making Shukaku lose his power. Quite the fight that had been and one he would never forget. He'd truly earned the respect of his closest friends then. Someday Kokan would do the same and finally earn the respect and trust of his fellow villagers all he needed was patience and determination. "Well I reckon we should turn in for the night. There's two bedrooms so your free to use the other. Tomorrow we can do a little training after I speak to Gaara." Naruto would move to get up now stretching a little running a hand through his hair now.

Shigematsu secretly was freaking out when Naruto told him he could arrange Gaara to be there when they trained. Being as the Kazekage used to have the Shukaku inside of him it made perfect sense to meet him. Inside the beast shook with hatred for the blonde in front of him as he remembered him knocking some sense into Gaara making him weak. The boy stood from his seat as his sensei instructed him that they needed some rest so they can be ready to train tomorrow. Turning towards Naruto he bowed towards him as he said a good night towards him. That was before he had realized he doesn't know where exactly the extra bedroom was located or which one was even his sensei.
