Five days... Five days had passed since Naruto's death, and four days since his memorial. The village continued on in its own way, trying to forget the memory of the recently murdered son of the Yondami Hokage. Believe it or not, but not everyone in the Village hated Naruto. Out of the many clans that live in Konoha, some of them never thought of the boy as a monster or a problem. But it was because of the people that did hate him spreading the word that he was a Demon, that a natural distrust spread all through out Konoha.

Out of all the Civilians in Konoha, it was the people that lived in the Red-Light-District that held an unnatural hate for the poor blonde boy. And since Naruto lived in said district, it was only a matter of time before the people got to him. The mob that had hunted him down had felt that after they avenged their family's, they would feel better. But they were sorely wrong, if anything, killing Naruto just made their lives worse.

When the Ninja clans, specifically the Uchiha-Clan, Hyuuga-Clan, Yamanaka-Clan, and the Inuzuka-Clan learned of the Red-Light-District-Civilians involvement in Naruto's murder, they strived to hunt down those responsible. Anyone involved in Naruto's demise had been tracked down and executed for child murder. But even after killing some of the ones responsible, it still didn't take away the feeling that they had failed to protect a child. The Uchiha-Police-Force, they were in Konoha to keep it safe, yet they had failed to save a single child from an angry mob.

Angry with their own failure, the Uchiha-Police-Force strived to better themselves, so as to make sure something like this never happened again. But the scar of their failure haunted them still.

Uchiha Sasuke was walking through the streets of Konoha, heading in the direction of the Graveyard. Along side him was his older brother, Uchiha Itachi. Young Sasuke had been friends with Naruto before his death, and had taken his death really hard. Naruto was one of the only people that Sasuke would consider a friend, excluding his family of course. And when Sasuke learned that Naruto was murdered, he fell into a depression.

The usually bright and playful Uchiha had suddenly become quiet and cold to anyone and everyone. His mother, Uchiha Mikoto had become worried about him. She had tried to cheer him up and help him get over it, but it didn't change the fact that his friend was gone.

In the few days since Naruto's death, Sasuke had been seen frequently appearing at the graveyard. It was the only place he felt happy, but even he himself didn't know why. When he was at Naruto's grave he felt like he was with Naruto again, like Naruto was there by his side but he just couldn't see him. He of course didn't tell anyone about this feeling, worried that they would think he had lost it. But Sasuke knew better, he knew he wasn't crazy.

Sasuke kneeled down next to Naruto's grave, placing the flowers he had on the grave stone. His eyes started to tear up when he read the words engraved onto the stone. ''Here lies Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto, Jinchūriki of the Kyuubi-no-Kitsune.'' His fingers lightly trailed acrossed the stone, tears falling from his face.

Sasuke sat down next to the grave, looking up to the sky, his eyes searching for something. It was raining lightly, the cold rain dampening his spikey black hair. "I- I miss you buddy... You were my only friend... You know that?" Sasuke asked out loud, not expecting to receive an answer. He smiled slightly, remembering the fun times he had with the blonde haired runt. "Things have been really quiet since you left..." Sasuke said quietly, his head drooping slightly.

"Y-... You were my best friend, even though you may have never known it." Sasuke admitted out loud, his smile slipping away. He hated to admit it, but he never told Naruto what he thought of him, and now he never would get that chance. Tears started to fall, as his head lowered in shame. "I-I regret never telling you that I thought of us as f-friends, I-I had thought that you already knew that we were..." Sasuke admitted sadly, angry at himself for his own lack of thought.

He sat there is silence, the rain and darkened sky painting a somber image. Minutes passed in a calm silence, as Sasuke was left to his thoughts. What Sasuke didn't know, was that there was an invisible blonde haired Kitsune laying right on top of the grave he was sitting next to. Ruto was laying on his back resting atop his own grave, his hands resting behind his head. A happy smiled graced the Kitsune's face, as he heard the Uchiha spill his heart felt thoughts out loud. He didn't know Sasuke thought of him as a friend in his living life. And now that he knew, it made his soul swell in joy. But he already had a sneaking suspicion.

Naruto's tails lay spread across his grave stone, one fell off to the side coming to rest on Sasuke's head. Sasuke would have probably jumped when he felt it, but he was too out of it to react at the moment. He just sighed lowly as the rain continued to fall lightly, and before he knew it he had dozed off.

Ruto frowned thoughtfully as he glanced down at the sleeping Uchiha. It was raining and there was a cool breeze flowing through the area, and Sasuke was only dressed in a T-shirt and shorts. If he was left out as is, Sasuke would come down sick, or even die from exposure to the elements. With that thought in mind, Naruto carefully picked Sasuke up off the ground with his tails, and lay him next to the upper half of the gravestone. The Kitsune propped Sasuke upright, letting his back rest against the stone wall. Naruto then grabbed a small blanket that he found and covered Sasuke up with it.

Naruto smiled down at Sasuke while floating a few feet above him, carefully making sure that Sasuke was fully covered by the blanket. He wouldn't stand it if his new friend got sick on his watch, he could never stand himself if that happened. Naruto frowned again, ''What if the blanket's not enough?'' He asked himself. He thought silently for a moment, before a thought came to him. Smiling softly, Naruto reached down and carefully placed his clawed finger to Sasuke's forehead, pumping a very small amount of his warm Chakra into him. Sasuke relaxed into the warm feeling of Naruto Chakra, and a small smile came to the sleeping Uchiha's face.

Naruto frowned slightly though. It seemed like he would have to keep an eye out for Sasuke in the future. Naruto wouldn't allow his friends to get hurt, whether they themselves caused it or not. He looked down at the sleeping Sasuke, if Naruto wasn't there for him, then Sasuke would have frozen to death. Naruto shook his head, he would think on this later.

Finished with his work, Naruto smiled before transforming into a little black fox looking creature that had red fur tipped paws and a tuft of black fur atop his head that was also tipped in red, around his neck was a thick coat of dark black fur, and behind him was his three fluffy black tails. He had greenish blue slitted eyes with red eyelids, and a small black nose. Once he finished his little transformation, he vanished into the forest that surrounded the Graveyard, leaving Sasuke alone at his grave. ((Author's note- Think of Zorua from Pokemon))

A few hours had passed since then, and Itachi was starting to become worried. He had left Sasuke alone at the grave for privacy. But when two hours had passed and Sasuke had yet to return, he went out to search for him. It only took the red eyed Uchiha around ten minutes before he found Sasuke sleeping atop Naruto's grave covered in a warm blanket. Itachi quickly ran over to see if he was OK, only to let out a relived sigh when he realized that Sasuke was just asleep.

But then a confused look crossed his face, ''Where did Sasuke get the blanket?''. Itachi turned his Sharingan on and his gaze swept across the Graveyard, only detecting trace amounts of Chakra in the area. Letting out another sigh, before reaching out to wake his little brother up. "Wake up little brother, it's time to head home." Itachi said calmly, a soft smile gracing his face.

Sasuke blinked slowly as he took in his surroundings, and the feeling of a warm blanket covering him. His gaze eventually locked with Itachi's. "I-Itachi-Nee-San? What are you doing here?" Sasuke asked quietly, a confused look covering his face.

Itachi simply held the gaze, giving Sasuke a smile. "I came here to find you little brother, it's cold out and I don't want you to get sick." Itachi replied.

Sasuke looked down. "O-Oh... I'm guessing you got me this blanket?" Sasuke asked as he eyed the weirdly warm fur blanket.

Itachi frowned at Sasuke's question. "No I didn't. I thought that blanket was yours."

Sasuke's face scrunched up in confused thought, he didn't remember bringing a blanket. He looked down and noticed that he wasn't on the ground either. "I-It's not mine. I don't have one, and I remember falling asleep on the ground." Sasuke answered as he went to hop off the gravestone, walking up to his older brother.

Itachi frowned again, his black eyes staring off in thought. He didn't know what to think of the situation. He shook his head, his thoughts were getting him no where. "Come on little brother, let's go home." Itachi said as he lead Sasuke out of the Graveyard. Sasuke couldn't help but glance back at the grave in thought, that weird feeling like he was being watched came back again. But as he glanced at Itachi, it seemed like he was the only one that felt it. And because of this feeling, Sasuke would be seen coming to the Graveyard every day from that point on...
