Naruto: Can I do the disclaimer? *Cue puppy eyes*

Me: *sigh* alright.

Naruto: aviyosefcox does not own Naruto or Naruto Shippuden.

At the young age of 7, a blonde boy and his two friends were playing in the park. They were all alone, due to different circumstances.

The blonde was an orphan, and hated by more or less the whole village. His name was Naruto. He did not know why he was hated. He just was.

His female friend was a civilian child, with bright pink hair. She was waiting for her abusive parents. Her name was Sakura.

The last friend was a black-haired boy, being ignored by his family, and overshadowed by his older brother, Itachi. His name was Sasuke.

The three had met in the park two weeks ago, and had become friends quickly. All three because of their need for attention, affection. Of course, they didn't dare tell their parents.

Sakura's parents were alcoholics, not caring about her the least, though they usually came to pick her up…at midnight. She didn't tell them about Naruto, because she had once seen them blow up only at the mentioning of his name.

Sasuke's parents were the head of the Uchiha clan and his wife. The clan head cared for naught but power, and strength, and hated the blonde boy with a passion, for reasons unknown to Sasuke. His wife simply followed, caring for her sons, with a tired sort of affection, never once doing anything else than told by her husband.

Naruto was an orphan. His parents were unknown to most, but if they knew, he would not have been treated as bad as he was. His parents were the Yondaime Hokage Minato Namikaze of Konohagakure no Sato, and Kushina Uzumaki. They died in the Kyuubi attack, 7 years ago. Kushina by birthing Naruto, having the Kyuubi extracted and protecting Naruto from Kyuubi.

Minato by sealing the terrible beast into his own son.

Whatever the circumstances, they were now playing at the park. Their movements were free, happy, and so they didn't noticed the glowing eyes of a predator in the shadows.

Quick as lightning, the predator attacked. He moved under the bushes while making a rustling noise. Naruto looked that direction and saw two glowing eyes.

The three children screamed. Naruto tried running away but that made the predator focus on Naruto.

The predator stretched its jaws wide, and clamped down on Naruto's shoulder. The young boy tried to get away, but to no avail. The predator held on tight. Naruto was in mass pain and it worsened when it injected something into Naruto.

Sakura suddenly backed away, and began running. The predator let go of Naruto and bolted after her, jaws snapping together around an arm. Naruto was unconscious, and Sasuke didn't know what to do.

Forming hand seals he called, "Fire style, Great Fireball Jutsu!" and breathed out. A decently sized fireball shot out and hit the predator, lighting up its frame, showing a huge wolf-creature, thing. It howled in agony, as the fireball sizzled his fur. releasing Sakura who was long unconscious, and attacking Sasuke.

Sasuke screamed as the predator bit his shoulder as well. "Let go! Let go!" He yelled in fear, his only two friends long gone in blissful unconsciousness, and before he followed them as well he saw the Wolf-creature. In pain wile walking away, it began to shift to a smaller form of a man but he dispersed before Sasuke could see his face.

Naruto blinked blearily as he tried to focus on his surroundings. He suddenly bolted up of the bed he was lying in…wait, bed? The blonde boy turned to see that he had indeed been lying in a bed. Everything was white and cold…hospital? 'Great, I hate hospitals.'

The door opened, and an old man with red and white robes wearing a hat with the kajin for "FIRE" came in, looking surprised to see Naruto awake.

"Ah, Naruto. How are you feeling?" He asked. Naruto blinked. "Jiji? What am I doing here? Where are Ra-chan and Ke?" He asked urgently. The old man frowned. "You and two other kids were found unconscious with grave injuries two nights ago. It looked like you were attacked by a wolf. Any reason why you ask?" He asked.

Naruto scowled in frustration. "Something that did look like a wolf attacked us! But where is Ra and Ke!" He exclaimed. The Hokage sighed. "They're in another room. Come, I'll show you." He said, and walked out. The young boy quickly followed, ignoring the fact that he was wearing nothing but a hospital robe.

"Ra! Ke! You're awake!" Naruto cheered as he saw Sasuke and Sakura looking around they were. They instantly relaxed when they heard Naruto's voice, and saw him together with an old man. Sasuke frowned. "Ah, Hokage-sama, right?" He asked. The old man nodded with a warm smile on his old wrinkle filled face.

"Indeed. Now, would you care to enlighten me about what happened that night?" He asked. Sakura shivered. "Well, we were playing, and then some wolf-thing attacked Ruto and bit him!" She exclaimed. Naruto nodded. "It hurt a lot but hurt more when it injected something into my body, but Ra began running, so it went to bite her too!" He said.

"And then, I did my fireball jutsu on it, but it got angry, and bit me too! Before I lost consciousness it started to walk away without shifting into a more humanoid figure." Sasuke explained. The Hokage looked serious. "I see. I am afraid that we know nothing about it. You three had dangerous wounds, and I am afraid they left some scars." He nodded at them.

They looked at each other. Naruto had a large bite mark over his right shoulder, stretching down to the middle of his arm. Sasuke had a similar scar on his left shoulder. Sakura had two scars going across her arm. She frowned, seeing stitches over the scars.

"You were about to loose your arm." The Hokage explained patiently.

Sakura nodded carefully. "Wh-What about our parents? Where are they?" She wondered. The Hokage's face became heavy with sorrow and regret. "Your parents were found dead in a bar yesterday. They didn't come before the died." He said.

Sasuke frowned. "What about mine?" He asked. The Hokage looked even more sorrowful. "…Dead. As a matter of fact, your whole clan was killed the night you were attacked." He explained. Sasuke was shocked. "What about Itachi-nii!" He exclaimed.

The Hokage looked slightly surprised that Sasuke cared more for his brother than his parents, but left it alone. "I am afraid that he was the one killing them all." He said trying not to look int his eyes. (I am sort of following some of the story from Naruto Shippuden involving the Uchiha clan massacre) Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "I don't care. Where is my Onii-chan?" He demanded.

The Hokage's eyes widened. "…He's gone. He left Konoha, with only one message…" He closed his eyes and gave a paper slip to Sasuke, who read it.

"Sasuke.

I have killed them all. I'm sorry, but it was needed.

I had to leave, as I did not want to be killed myself.

Stay with your friends. Maybe we'll see each other again.

If you want to know the secrets of the clan, go beneath the seventh tatami mat from the right in the Naka shrine. You may take your friends with you.

I will forever love you and be your Onii-chan.

Itachi."

The black-haired boy was surprised to find tears falling from his eyes, and his two friends giving him a strong hug. "Itachi…I love you too." He whispered, putting the slip in his pocket. The Hokage smiled sadly and retreated out of the room to let the three youngsters bond in peace.

'Why did the council have to call a meeting now of all times.'The old professor thought. He was walking down a hall to the council room. He opened the door to see only about half the council present. In the room was a round table and at the back of the room was the seats for the Hokage and his advisers. (Nobody really likes those two.) Five minutes later the rest of the council is there. (Except Fugaku (since he is dead) and Tusnade.(Obviously))

"Lets get to the point here. I am very busy today." Demanded Hiruzen.

"Hokage-sama, we would like to know what will happen to Uchiha-sama and Ms. Hanaruo." The last part dripping with venom. Called a Fat and Bald Civilian.

"I will be placing the Naruto-kun and Sakura-san into the clan as the adopted siblings of Sasuke. I fear that something bad has happened to them and I fear that separation will make it worse." Replied Hiruzen.

"Hokage-sama this is an outrage, your placing the demon with Uchiha-sama! The demon will surely corrupt Uchiha-sama!" Yelled another council member.

"ANBU! Take him away!" Demanded the elder Saratobi.

The ANBU appear to take away the councilman all the while he was screaming threats at the aged Hokage.

"We shall take a vote regarding those three." Hiruzen said.

The entairaity of the shinobi side agreed. Homaru and Komaru also agreed and Danzo of all people also agreed. (Class, we can all guess what he wants.)

"The ANBU Kakashi Hayate will bring them food once a week until they are old enough to buy it themselvs. If there is no other problems this meeting is abjured." Hiruzen replied walking out.

A few days later, the kids had accustomed themselves to live in the huge mansion by themselves. They had explored the place, and found lots of different things for different use. Sasuke now always carried with him a flute he had found, while Sakura carried a book about chakra training and uses, and Naruto had found a very nice violin, unused.

But as time went by, it soon neared full moon. They became restless, annoyed, and found themselves wanting to hunt, of all things. Sakura, reading a book she had found, came up with an idea. "Ruto, Ke! I found a jutsu that can be used to delve into ones mindscape! Maybe we can find the reason that we're so restless there?" She asked.

Sasuke came over and looked at the page, where it was lots of info.

The jutsu was quite easy, but dangerous. If one got lost in ones mindscape, one would possibly stay there forever. With the jutsu came another one, to merge mindscapes together, in other words making a mental bond it also said merging mindscapes also can add the distinctive talents or abilities to the people that merge their mindscapes.

Naruto summed up their thoughts in three words. "Let's do it!"

It was strange, the three kids thought, They appeared in a white room with three open doors. Each door represented their won minds. Naruto's was a large sewer with suffocating power. Sakura's was a field of open grass and sakura trees. Sasuke's was of the clan compound. They decided to go in Naruto's.

So far, they'd seen nothing, but they had a feeling that something was watching them. It was far from a reassuring feeling, in any case.

Naruto suddenly saw that the sewer opened into a room with a giant prison. He frowned, confused. "What's thi-!" He yelped and jumped out of the way from a giant claw. A red furred animal was barely visible behind the bars. "So you have finally come. And with friends too?" A powerful, low voice rumbled.

Naruto gaped. Sasuke trembled with silent fright. Sakura shivered.

"Who…are you?" Naruto asked cautiously. The creature laughed. "You don't know? Boy, I am the Kyuubi no kitsune." It said calmly. Naruto's eyes widened. "The Kyuubi? But, how are you here in my mindscape?" He wondered.

The Kyuubi chuckled. "You see, boy, I am sealed in you. You remember the book you read not to long ago, about seals? You have one of those with me inside it." It explained patiently.

Sasuke frowned at the large fox. "How come you're so nice? We were told you were a ravaging beast." He demanded. The fox looked at him with a smirk. "That's what the stories say. I daresay I'm quite civilized, as a matter of fact. And also, you are children. Children are the most precious of all kinds, though not all humans seem to understand that." It explained.

Sakura tilted her head sadly. The fox stuck out the tip off its tail and stroked her with it. "Don't be sad. You have a new family now." The fox soothed gently.

Naruto suddenly started. "Oh, Kyuubi! Why are you sealed in me?" He asked. The Kyuubi tilted its head. "Because I was forced to attack the village. I was under the influence of one Madara Uchiha and his mangekyou sharaingan. I A blonde man, quite similar to you, as a matter of fact, sealed me in here, to save his village." It said, frowning.

Sasuke looked at Naruto and Sakura. "Um, wasn't the reason we did this jutsu to find out why we were so restless?" He asked. The Kyuubi frowned. "You need not go any further. I know. The creature you all were bitten by is known as a werewolf. It's a lesser demon-type. By biting people with its fangs, it can make them into werewolves as well. I am afraid that you will experience the first change pretty soon. And it will hurt." It warned.

Naruto scrunched up his nose. "Well, thanks for the help Kyuubi." He smiled slightly. The Kyuubi grinned, and looked at them all. "Since you all are going to make a mental connection, I will be able to speak to you as well. And it seems to have lessened the tightness of the seal too. During your change, I will use my chakra to soothe your muscles, Naruto. If I am patient enough, I am sure I will manage to do it for you two as well. You also have the unique abilities of the other two in your bond. Like, Sasuke and Sakura, will have Naruto's advanced healing and large reserves." He nodded to them, and retreated to the back of his cage.

The three friends quickly performed the Hand seals and the mindscape they were in faded and turned to their favorite playground. In a corner was the cage fading and kyuubi shrack to a small fox with nine tails. Around his neck was a collar with a tag on the front for the kajin for "SEAL"

The three children faded out of the mindscape.

"So…we're going to turn into werewolves?" Sakura broke the silence. Naruto frowned thoughtfully. "Yeah. It might not be all bad though." He muttered. Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "Why not?" He wondered. Naruto grimaced. "Well, think about it. Werewolves are said to be very strong. They have exceptional senses, and an intimidating form." He explained. His two friends nodded thoughtfully.

Sakura looked out the window, up to the sky. "…There are clouds in front of the moon…but they're going away…ack!" She squirmed as a beam of moonlight hit her. Naruto and Sasuke grimaced as she began tossing her head from side to side. "It's starting already…Let's get it over with, NE?" Naruto suggested, and exposed his hand to the moonlight.

Sasuke sighed and followed his lead.

"Gyaah!"

Kyuubi winced as he heard the young ones screams trough the mental link. Red chakra floated trough the bars, and on the outside, Naruto was already covered with it. Kyuubi concentrated, and made the chakra reach out to the other two children as well.

Using the chakra, he got a pretty good picture of what the children looked like. Sakura had light pink fur all over, and her ears were changing. Her teeth were coughed up, and her nose pushed out into a snout, making place for all the new teeth.

Sasuke had the beginning of a tail, his ears were changed, and black fur was erupting all over him, nails changed rapidly into claws. His onyx eyes had flickered to red, with one tome in each.

Naruto was changing the fastest, and was almost done. He had blond fur, with darker orange fur between his shoulders, on his chest and his right leg. Sharp claws adorned his hands and feet, and white teeth glinted in the moonlight.

All three had a strange white patch of fur around where they were bitten. It was a half-circle, hollowed inside, like a moon. It was extremely detailed, to the point that inside the curling lines, one could see a wolf running on the surface of the moon.

It took only about 10 minutes, but for the children, it felt like hours. When they were done, they were all taller than their normal height by about 15 cm, and much more muscular. Sakura was slimmer than her two male friends, who had a more compact build.

"Ah, it's over. That's good." They started when they heard Kyuubi's voice in their heads. "K-Kyuubi? How did it go?" Naruto stammered, and blinked at his voice, which was much rougher than usual.

Kyuubi chuckled. "It went fine. Go take a look in the mirror." He suggested. The three children turned werewolves rushed into the bathroom, and stared in awe. "Wow. Can we…can we control the transformation by will?" Sasuke wondered. The Kyuubi shrugged.

"Probably. It also seems that you can change into full wolf form as well." He informed them. Sakura cheered. "That's kind of awesome! Um, do you guys think I'm pretty like this?" She asked, blushing slightly.

Naruto grinned, showing off impressive fangs. "Yeah! Your fur is really shimmering, and your physic is awesome! …Your eyes are really pretty too, they glimmer…" Sasuke chuckled. "Yeah. You're the prettiest wolf I've ever seen, Ra-chan." He said.

"Thanks. You guys are cool too. Wonder why Naruto have different color? We don't. Hey Sasuke you have blood red eyes with one thing that looks like a comma in each eye." Sakura tilted her head cutely. Sasuke was wide eyed and looked one more time. There it was two blood red eyes.

"I believe that it is of no consequence. I'm more interested in the markings around your scars." Kyuubi pondered inside his cage.

They looked in the mirror again. "Wow…it's cool. It's like a tattoo or something." Naruto gaped. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. "Wah! Kyuubi! How do we change back?" Sasuke exclaimed. The red fox frowned. "I have no idea. Think of your human selves." It sounded like a question.

The children, having no other options tried it out, and to their surprise, they lost their balance and fell. "Ouch…now I know why animals have tails." Sakura muttered, before realizing they were in human form again. But… "Ruto…Ke…we still have those tattoos." She frowned.

It was black, but other than that it was the same, around the scars. Sasuke scrunched up his face. "Well, nothing we can do about it. Be there in a minute!" He yelled. The unknown visitor sounded like he sighed. 'Wait, how do we know that?' Naruto questioned. "Superior senses." Kyuubi answered shortly.

They ran to the door and opened. A young man, around 21, with a facemask and a headband over his left eye stood there with a bag of food. "Yo. I'm Kakashi. I got your food for the week." He introduced himself. Sasuke frowned. "We can take care of that ourselves." He meant.

Kakashi chuckled. "I'm sure you can, but whatever you want, Hokage-sama have ordered me to do so, as well as check up on you." He explained. Sasuke pouted and opened the door wider. Naruto and Sakura looked curiously at the masked man.

"Why check up on us?" Sakura wondered. Kakashi shrugged. "Well, you are three seven years old living in a large place. Not to forget that Sasuke is the sole Uchiha survivor, Naruto is the Hokage's favorite, and you are an extremely gifted girl." He said.

Sakura frowned. "Gifted? I've got good chakra control and strength, but nothing else…" She muttered. Naruto shook his head. "Who cares if you're gifted or not? You're our best friend! That's it!" He declared. Sakura giggled, and Kakashi looked warmly at them, though slightly impassive.

"What are those markings around your scar Sakura?" (Remember she was bitten in the arm.) Kakashi questioned. They averted their eyes. "…Why do you care?" Sasuke glared at the silver-haired man. He didn't answer immediately…seeming to be in thought.

"…I merely wondered why you had them in such an obvious place. I have one too, see?" He took of his left glove and showed them an exact copy of theirs on the back of his hand.

Naruto gaped. "You're a werewolf!" He exclaimed. Kakashi chuckled and put on the glove again. "Yep. Let me guess you guys are too." He smiled, as was seen trough the cloth mask.

Sakura grimaced. "We were attacked one or two days before the massacre. We only changed today though. Why did you come so late anyway?" She asked. Kakashi shrugged. "I like the moon. It calms me down." He answered, and then tilted his head slightly. "How did you change back? It took me quite some time to figure out how to." He wondered. Sasuke shrugged. "It was Kyuubi's idea. He suggested we think of our human forms." He said.

Kakashi's lone eye was wide. "K-Kyuubi! You can talk to it?" He paled. Naruto waved his arms. "He's not all that bad! Someone cast a jutsu on him! Oh, and before you ask how Sasuke can talk to him, we merged our mindscapes." He explained.

Kakashi blinked. "…You can do that?" He asked. Sakura frowned. "You know, it should be impossible…" She commented. Sasuke waved his hand. "We're ninjas. We do the impossible." He shrugged.

Kakashi sweat dropped. "…Yeah. You're right I suppose. I have to go now, but I only wanted to point out one thing…you've all got grey streaks in your hair." He pointed lazily at them. Sakura frowned distastefully. "It's probably the color of our fur. Is that why your hair is grey too?" She wondered.

Kakashi shook his head. "The Hatake family had grey hair. My hair used to be darker before the wolf, but still grey." He explained, then waved and disappeared in a poof of smoke. The three children pouted after him. "Well, let's make some food! I'm starving!" Naruto claimed, and they carried the food to the kitchen.

Next morning, the three children were going out to the park, wanting to have something to do. Naruto carried with him the violin, along with a simple instructions book. Sasuke was playing his flute, randomly pressing fingers, simply to make some noise. Sakura had her nose in her book.

"Ne, Tomorrow school will start again." Sakura grumbled. Sasuke stopped playing and frowned. "And? If they ask about the tattoos or anything, we'll just lie, or not answer at all." He said. Naruto twitched. "They'll tell their parents. Parents are no good." He shivered.

Sakura and Sasuke frowned. "We know. Hey, do you think we'll find Kakashi today?" Sakura asked. Naruto grinned hugely. "I bet! He's got silver hair, that's got to stick out! Let's look for him!" He yelled, and began running. The others laughed and ran after.

Some grown-ups looked disgusted after the demon child, only to take a double take when they saw the Uchiha survivor together with it.

"No, nope, nix, not there…" Naruto mumbled to himself as he looked over the market place from one of the rooftops. Sasuke and Sakura were looking over the places the blonde couldn't see. "Hm? What might you be looking for?" An amused voice asked from behind Naruto.

"Oh, we're looking for Kaka-wolf…wait, huh?" Naruto spun around to watch said silver-haired teen chuckle. "My name is KakaSHI, not Kaka-wolf, Naruto-kun." He eye-smiled. "Oi! I'll call you whatever I want! Right, Ke, Ra?" Naruto asked. The two other children nodded fervently.

"Yeah. Would you prefer being Kaka-baka, hm?" Sasuke blew a raspberry at the older werewolf. He shook his head. "Kaka-wolf it is then. Anyway, why were you looking for me?" He asked. Naruto blinked. "We were bored. And all the other children are at the park, and then we can't be there." He explained.

Kakashi frowned slightly. "I see. What is that you have with you?" He gestured to their instruments and books. Sakura beamed. "I got a really smart book! I'm going to try tree-walking later, slowly, like the book says!" She cheered. Kakashi chuckled. "That's good, though you should be careful." He warned.

Sasuke smirked. "I got a flute. It occupies my mind, and it's relaxing." He said, and played a little. Kakashi nodded, and looked at Naruto. "I got a violin! Listen!" He cheered, and carefully began playing a small tune. Kakashi applauded them both. "It certainly is a good idea. I bet you'll be good at playing in no time…and Sakura? I think I know an …instrument…you can use…" He smirked.

Sakura looked hopeful. "Really? What?" She wondered. Kakashi shrugged. "I'll come by at the mansion later, okay? I'll bring it then. Until then, it's a secret!" He teased, and disappeared in a poof of smoke again. The three children pouted.

"Well, should we go home?" Sasuke suggested. Naruto and Sakura nodded. "Yup. This was fun. We should play Hide and Seek with Kaka-wolf more often!" Naruto declared, and jumped over the rooftops. Sakura and Sasuke laughed and followed once more.

And...Cut. The nicknames came from the original story. There will be more werewolf characters in the story. Most of the writing came from the original. I made changes to the story as it is.
