Gato was sitting in a finely furnished room in of his Water Country bases, casually sipping a glass of fine Kumogakure wine. Two men were standing at his side, one a young man with a black beanie and purple jacket, and lined markings under his eyes. The other man was a taller, older man with a kimono and bandages around his chest. These men were Zori and Waraji, Gato's personal samurai bodyguards.
Gato looked down at the black intercom on his desk, pressing the red button on it and speaking directly into the box. "Send Naruto in." He said, kicking back in his chair and taking another sip of his wine. The three men waited for a few minutes before the door opened. A boy entered the room, speaking in a slightly arrogant tone. "Ya called, dad?"
The boy was wearing a white dress shirt, a black tie loosely hanging on his neck. A black suit was draped across his shoulders, and he had a bored expression across his face. He was casually playing with a silver ring on his finger, and yawned, his black shoes tapping annoyingly on the ground. His blonde hair hung to his shoulders, cared for with the best shampoo and conditioners available. Overall, the entire ensemble was extremely expensive and not needed...which of course made it perfect for Naruto.
Gato grinned at his son, and stepped out from behind his desk and strode forward to his son. He patted Naruto's shoulder. "C'mon. You're gonna come with me on a little mission with me." Naruto nodded, and the group of four began making their way out of the base, gathering a few more thugs alongside them. They walked for a few minutes, no one making mention of Gato's heavier breathing than the rest. They soon made their way to a small village nearby, and Gato smirked at his crew. "Go nuts. Get any money or valuables you find. Kill whoever gets in the way." The group of thugs cheered, and ran into the village.
Gato smiled as he patted his son on the head. "See this, Naruto? This is Business! This village never took my warnings seriously; every time I told them to pay up or get destroyed, they refused. Gotta show 'em we mean business, or the other small village's will think they can refuse me at every turn. Gotta give them the old one-two, understood?" Naruto nodded, and Gato ruffled his hair again. Naruto gave a small smile to his dad.
The father and son watched as the village was burned, and the thugs walk out carrying dozens of valuables and a few women. Naruto raised an eyebrow seeing the women in chains, but Gato saw his questioning look. "We can sell them to make a quick buck, or keep them around base to raise moral. You'll understand when you're older." Gato smiled and patted him on the back, and Zori and Waraji approached them with a few wads of cash in their fists. Gato grinned. "You guys can keep everything you earned here. This was just a lesson for Naruto." The thugs grinned and began high-fiving each other.
The group of criminals began leaving the village, but Naruto froze and tilted his head. Naruto pointed to the tree line, and the thugs all withdrew their weapons. A small boy ran out of the trees, stumbling as he caught sight of the group. A bone seemingly extended from his palms, and he prepared himself to fight. Naruto took note of his long white hair and the two red dots on his forehead. The boy called out. "Who are you?!"
Gato watched the boy carefully. He had made use of the Kaguya in the past, and they were goddamn useful when they didn't go ****in insane. He could tell the boy was a Kaguya, and seemed to be calmer than most. Gato watched- worriedly, he would later deny,- as his son stepped forward to the older boy. The Kaguya boy tightened his muscles, obviously ready to fight or flee. Naruto smiled at the other boy.
"I'm Naruto Gato. Who are you?" Naruto said, his voice sounding refined. Gato smirked internally. The Kaguya looked strangely at Naruto, but put his weapons away. "I'm Kimimaro Kaguya..." The two boys shook hands, and Naruto smiled slightly.
"Would you like to come with me?" He asked, the perfect amount of worry placed in his voice. Kimimaro's eyes widened slightly, and he nodded. He knew nothing of why he existed. He had just watched his clan be slaughtered in a failed coup d'état, and was preparing to join them, but then this boy came, wanting his existence. Kimimaro nodded, and Naruto smiled again.
As the two boys made small talk in the back (Mainly Naruto going off about how great it was living in the base, and how rich he was, and Kimimaro nodding dutifully,) Gato smiled and began chuckling. He knew getting that Jinchuuriki was a good idea.

It had been three weeks since meeting Kimimaro, and Naruto was lounging in his room. His room was almost as nicely furnished as Gato's, hundreds of toys sitting off to the side, candy wrappers cluttering around an overfilled trash can. A few books were scattered around the room, obviously read multiple times. Naruto was lying on his bed, eating a lollipop while reading a book on business transactions. Kimimaro was reading a book Gato had obtained on refining chakra. Ever since the two boys had met, they were inseparable. When Naruto was called, Kimimaro was always a step behind.
A knock sounded the door, opening to show Waraji. "Oy. Gato wants you two." He said, before stalking off. Kimimaro and Naruto stood up, and walked quickly throughout the base. When they reached Gato's door, Naruto opened it. "Sup pops."
Gato smirked. "Naruto, Kimimaro, I have a request of you two. Something killed a lot of people in a nearby village, and it's interfering with my business. I would hire someone, but I felt like you two can do it instead. Think you can handle it?" Naruto smirked, and Kimimaro nodded calmly. Gato waved them off, and the two boys began leaving the base.
"So, what do you think it is?" Naruto asked, fixing his tie. Kimimaro stayed silent, his eyes narrowed, before he spoke. "Possibly a rogue Kaguya member who survived the extermination. That, or a rebel hoping to weaken Kiri by ruining various towns." Naruto nodded, and the two boys emerged out of the base. Around an hour of walking led them to the flaming ruins of a village.
Naruto looked distastefully at the ground. "Blood everywhere...gonna ruin my new shoes." He muttered, kicking a corpse out of the way. Kimimaro looked calmly around, a bone extending from his palm. Naruto suddenly turned and swung his arm, a metal rod extending from his sleeve with lightning crackling around it. It hit the boy who had jumped at him, who was knocked back.
The boy was wearing what appeared to be pajama's or prison uniform, with shaggy orange hair, He was a large boy, and half of his body was grey and scaly. He was laughing, and began yelling. "Kill! Ahaha!" He screamed, and launched himself at Naruto. Kimimaro darted forward, slashing with his bone knives. The boy was knocked back, bleeding from shallow cuts on his chest. He continued laughing, and shot his arm forward, extending it to an impressive amount. Naruto swung his electric rod down, sending an electrical stream traveling to the boy. The boy shuddered, falling to the ground as his body became normal. He looked fearfully around him, and began pounding the ground.
"Damnit! How? How did I escape! Please, you have to put me back, I might kill you!" The boy screamed, tears beginning to run down his face. Kimimaro stood stoically, and Naruto stepped forward calmly and grinned. "Don't worry. Me and Kimimaro can keep you under control. It's a good thing you were in this village, though. It was already destroyed by Kiri ninja a few days ago." Kimimaro looked at Naruto strangely, but stopped when Naruto winked slightly.
The boy seemed to calm down, and stood up. "Are...are you sure? You can help me?" He asked, pleading. Naruto smiled and nodded. "I..I'm Jugo. Who are you?"
Naruto grinned. "I'm Naruto Gato. This is Kimimaro. And from now on, I guess we're friends, right?" Kimimaro nodded, and Jugo made a hesitant smile. The three boys left the village, unaware of how their destiny would impact the world.
Tell me what you think, guys! Oh, Jugo and Kimimaro are two years older than Naruto, by the way.
