Zero Resistance

As the sun was setting over the forest, Temari was settling in for a potentially long night. It had taken her several hours, but she had eventually managed to find out where Naruto Uzumaki lived. She was positioned directly across from his apartment, staring through his window as he prepared himself for bed.

"He looks so...normal. There's no obvious bloodlust, no sign of any crazy powers. If the town folks weren't so serious about this, I wouldn't even be able to tell he was like Gaara." Temari muttered to herself, watching in disbelief as the supposed demon put a sleep cap with a cartoonish face onto his head. Naruto appeared to be humming to himself as he sat down on his bed, sharpening a couple of kunai right before turning in.

Now was as good a time as any. Temari removed a small fan from her pocket and began waving it around herself, using her wind chakra to summon a small cloud of smoke. Then she leaned into the cloud and whispered into it a single word. Then with a flick of her wrist the cloud dispersed in the air, turning into a light breeze that went straight through Naruto's closed window and surrounded his head.

The blonde genin looked up in confusion when he suddenly sensed a change in the air around him, but before he could do anything a word slid straight into a his mind.

RELAX.

The word echoed through his brain, bouncing around off his skull and erasing every other thought in his mind. After a mere 5 seconds, he slumped bonelessly onto his mattress. His eyes had turned glassy, his mouth hung open, and he wasn't even aware of what was going on around him.

Temari blinked.

"Okay, no way in hell is it that easy. Does he have no resistance to genjutsu at all? That's impossible, he had to have gotten some training with that, right?" But no, Naruto wasn't moving at all. He looked dead to the word, completely unresponsive to everything around him.

Temari hesitated, then summoned up a few more clouds. No kill like overkill at least.

OBEY

TRANCE

HELPLESS

Naruto didn't even flinch as the new words floated into his mind, he merely let them in and accepted them. Temari shook her head in wonder and jumped across the street, using a kunai to open up open the window so she can slip inside.

"Oi, kid. Can you hear me?"

"Yes..." Naruto mumbled out.

"Are you the town's demon container?"

"Yes..."

"Right. Okay, tell me about your life here. How were you treated growing up?" And so Naruto told her everything. How he had been ignored by everyone from the older generation and how they passed that onto their children. How the stores inflated prices for him by over double the norm. How his training had been sabotaged and he was constantly struggling to catch up to his comrades. How he constantly tried to get a girl named Sakura to acknowledge him and she responded by attacking him, verbally and physically.

"Jeez, it sounds like things were almost as bad for you as they were for Gaara. But somehow you're a lot better off than he is. Okay...even if there wasn't a mission there is no way I'd want to keep you here, you remind me way to much of Gaara for me to walk away. But what am going to do with you?"
