OoOoOo
Once upon a mansion lived a man to be in his late twenties with spikey blond hair and blue eyes. He wore a brown business suit with a white shirt and an orange necktie. He has on polished dress shoes that clink each time his foot touches the floor. That man is Naruto Uzumaki, who is son of a wealthy family. His father is a CEO of a architectural design company and his mother is a fashion designer. Throughout his life, he was spoiled rotten. He went to private schools, got a excellent education, and graduated with a degree in culinary arts from a private university known as University of Konoha. Later on, he became the owner of a very famous restuarant known as "Kyuubi's Ramen", where they sell ramen, dumplings, and terriyaki.
Naruto may seem like a nice gentleman when people first meet him, but on the inside he is a selfish man who wants nothing more than to fulfil his desires. He started dating girls by taking them out on dates and then breaking their hearts the next day. He did this from time to time until he got bored and started dating boys instead. People around him are starting to get furious with him for taking and breaking the hearts of their sons, daughters, girlfriends, boyfriends, etc.
Naruto had it all until one night turned his world upside down.
OoOoOo
On a stormy rainy night, everyone in the mansion are nice and warm. The servants are doing their jobs such as cleaning, working in the kitchen, and tending the gardens in the greenhouse. Naruto was reading a book by the fireplace until he heard a knock on the door. He looked at the clock to see it's two minutes after midnight.
He placed down his book and grumbled," Who would be here at this time in the morning?"
He grabbed his robe and slipped on his slippers as he made his way towards the front door. He opened the door to reveal a cloaked figure standing on his doorstep, holding a cane. Naruto curled his lip in disgust when he saw a hideous, ugly face underneath that hood.
He questioned," What is the reason for you to be on my property?"
The cloaked figure glanced up at him and responded," I'm just an old lady who got lost in the storm, and this mansion is the only place I could stay until the storm is over. Would you please let me stay? I promise I will be gone by morning."
Naruto, irritated by the hideous sight, smacked the old lady down to the ground. He yelled," Get off my property, you old hag! I don't want to see you and your hideous face ever again! Got it?"
The old lady slowly pulled herself off the wet ground, feeling indignant for the harsh treatment the blond displayed. She glanced at him with glowing blue eyes from underneath her hood and stomped her cane down, creating a flash of blinding light. Naruto shielded his eyes with his arms as he were blinded by the light. When he lowered his arms, he gasped at what he saw a beautiful woman with blond hair and large breasts covered by a green robe.
The blond woman said, "Just as I expected. You are just as selfish as everyone thought. You rejected me for being ugly and won't provide me shelter."
Naruto got down on his knees and begged," Forgive me, Milady, I didn't mean all those things I said. I'll let you in my mansion. You can stay here for as long as you want. I beg of you!"
"It's too late, Brat! If it's beauty you're concerned about, then you shall be punished."
With that, the blond woman lifted her hand while it glowed a green color. Naruto felt his body growing in all directions, and he is screamming as his body went through transformation. He could feel his bone structure expand, causing his clothes to rip, leaving him only with pants and a shirt. His jaw turned into a snout, teeth becoming sharp, and his fangernails became claws. His hair covered his entire body and his body grew out a tail as well as pointy ears.
Naruto looked down at his hands and became horrified at the sight of claws. He glanced up at the blond woman who punished him, and he asked her," Who are you? What did you just do to me?"
He almsot jumped when he realized that his voice has gone deeper with a beastly voice mixed in with his.
"My name is Tsunade, and I just cursed you by turning you into a beast. Let this be a lesson, Brat." Tsunade picked up her cane and with her magic, transformed it into a rose. She walked over to Naruto and kneeled down in front of him, holding the rose infront of him.
She told him," You have until your thirtieth birthday to find your true love, but that person will have to love you for who you really are. If you can't find true love by the time your thirtieth birthday passes, you will remain a beast forever. Here's a rose that will keep track of how much time you have left, and you have two years left."
Naruto took the rose from the woman's hands and continued to stare down at his hands.
He thought,' Two years? How am I going to find true in love in two freaking years... like THIS?'
Three servants came rushing down to see what's happening, and they gasped when they saw their master in beastly form. The pink-haired maid, who is named Sakura, questioned," What happened? Naruto-sama... master...?"
She was about to touch his shoulder when Naruto smacked her hand away and ran back in the mansion. Sakura looked towards the other maid and the butler to see that they were just as shocked as she was. The other maid, Hinata, had a look of horror on her face, expressing her fear through those lavender pupil-less eyes. The butler, Sai, had a look of fear in his onyx eyes, hoping that it's only a dream. All three servants turned their attention to Tsunade when she said," As for you, servants, you are cursed as well but there is no transformation involved."
"What will happen to us then?" Sai asked, fear dripping from his voice.
Tsunade replied," You are to remain here until the curse is broken, and you can't leave EVER. Only the master will leave if he has the guts to show his hideous face on public property. For now, this mansion is cursed!"
Thunder rumbled followed by a flash of lightning. Tsunade raised her glowing green hands and the mansion went from a nice, classy one to a dark, gloomy one. Tsunade lowered her hands and picked up a rock from the ground nearby the gardens. With the use of her magic, she turned it into a mirror and handed it to one of the servants.
Sh said," If your master wants to see what's going on outside of his mansion, he could use this mirror. All he has to do is say 'show me...' something. That is all."
She stepped away from the three servants and disappeared like dust in the wind.
In Naruto's room, he was trashing and ripping at anything he sees. He dug his claws into a portrait of himself, not wanting to reminded of his handsome face. He paced around the room, growling in distress at the thought of finding true love within two years.
He thought,' Who would ever love a beast? Me? An ugly beast? What am I going to do? I can't show up on public like this! Everyone will shun me and possibly kill me. Someone... please come for me.'
Hinata, Sakura and Sai watched that scene through the crack of the door. They never seen their master behave like this before, and it's really starting to scare them.
Hinata said," I'd never seen Naruto-sama so upset. This is... so unlike him."
Sakura nodded. "Agreed."
She took a glance down at the mirror Tsunade handed her and slid it down under the door.
Sai warned her," I don't think we should hand Naruto-sama anything fragile. It's already bad enough he's upset about his appearance."
"Shh." Sakura shushed and continued sliding the mirror under the door. The three servants jumped in fear when Naruto slammed open the door, showing his fangs.
He growled. "What's going on over here, you three? Tell me!"
Sakura gulped and held up her shaking hand holding the mirror. She stammered," Here... N-naruto-sama... Tsunade said that if...y-you want to look at what's happening outside the mansion... you could look through the mirror..."
Naruto snatched the mirror from her hands, causing her to fall back in fear. Sai embraced the pinkette in his arms and instructed his master," All you had to do is say "Show me..." and just say what you want to see."
Naruto nodded. "Sounds easy enough."
With that, he slammed the door shut. Sai pulled Sakura into a tight hug, allowing her to cry on his shoulder.
He thought,' I hope someone comes here soon.'
