Chapter 1: Wolf Pack

"For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack"

~ Rudyard Kipling

"Kage Bunshin Jutsu [Shadow Clone Jutsu]!" a young boy, 13 years old, wearing an orange jumpsuit formed hand seals to a more advanced clone technique than the low level one he failed in his Genin exams earlier that same day. Now saying that he felt disappointed would be redundant, he was downtrodden and the disparaging remarks he kept overhearing from the villagers didn't help his mood and then Mizuki-sensei had approached and told him about this Special Exam, it was simple really 'Get into the Hokage Tower, surprisingly not that hard, get the large scroll that says 'Scroll of Sealing', got it except I didn't expect jiji to come catch me in the act, boy it must be a helluva exam for the Hokage himself to get involved but he shouldn't underestimate Naruto Uzumaki someone who will be the next Hokage especially when he has the special jutsu, Oiroke Jutsu [Sexy Jutsu] and wham his head hits the floor, get to the abandoned shack in the forest and learn a Jutsu from the scroll before anyone finds me, Heh, I definitely aced this exam I learnt not one but two jutsu Dattebayo!'

Naruto scanned the scroll with his eyes, overlooking many jutsu that were just too complex for him to understand, some that might have made many drool at the thought of possessing them and as he passed through the scroll, the parchment seemed to get older and older, Naruto stopped as he came across a seal which caught his eye because the middle of the circle had a howling wolf drawn into it, curious Naruto tried to open the seal, but his chakra couldn't seem to open it, then remembering long ago the Sandaime Hokage his adoptive grandfather told him many stories of the war and explained many things especially Blood Seals, Naruto bit his thumb and smeared his blood across the seal which glowed releasing what looked like a fanged bottom jaw of a skull.

"That's it?" Naruto exclaimed in disbelief as he picked it up "What a rip-off."

As he picked it up, "Maybe I got to wear it." He placed it around his neck and soon collapsed in a heap, his sensei's Iruka Umino and Mizuki closing in on his position, not knowing that this night was going to be different and their only warning was the ominous howling of wolves echoing through the night.

.

Drip…Drip…Drip…

"Ah!" Naruto pushed himself upright coughing as he had woken face down in Knee-deep water, looking around he found himself to be in a large sewer pipe right in front of a Large cage held together by a piece of parchment with 'Seal' inscribed on it.

A pair of large crimson cat-like eyes opened on the other side of the cage, which was completely dark, "Well, well the son appears before me, going to gloat my dear jailor."

"What…Gloat…I don't what or who you are or where I am but could you point me towards the exit so that I can leave. I've got an exam to ace Dattebayo!" Naruto exclaimed not liking the creature's tone, he saw the eyes glow slightly as the glowered at him, "Don't mock me Ningen, you know damn well where you are and the fact that it's your parents fault that we are having this conversation. Your thrice damned father summoned the Shinigami to seal me into you! I had just got the first breath of fresh air in I don't know how long after escaping your mother's seal! And if it wasn't for this seal I would be thoroughly enjoying ripping into your flesh!"

Naruto's eyes widened "I don't understand…you know who my parents are?"

"As if you didn't, probably told tales of grandeur and given everything on a silver platter for being the son of heroes, spoilt brat!" Naruto fumed at that last remark and as if something snapped inside of him "SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! I TOLD YOU I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE I AM AND DON'T YOU DARE INSULT ME LIKE THAT AGAIN, I'VE HAD TO WORK TEN TIMES HARDER THAN ANYONE IN THIS DAMN VILLAGE JUST TO BE ACKNOWLEGED BY A HANDFUL. WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, TALKING AS IF YOU'VE KNOWN ME MY ENTIRE LIFE WHEN WE JUST MET FOR THE FIRST TIME!"

The eyes held a shocked look as it watched the boy blow up and as the boy panted "You really don't know?"

Naruto growled exasperatedly "What? Can't you just tell me already and be done with it."

"How about I ask you a question, what is Fox-like with Nine Tails that nearly destroyed said 'damn village'." Like a veil the darkness lifted off the cage revealing to Naruto a gigantic Nine-tailed orange furred Fox causing Naruto to step back in horror "No…Kyūbi no Yōko…but how?"

Kyūbi raised it head looking at the trembling boy "Sealed inside you by the Yondaime, 13 years ago." Naruto fell to his knees connecting the dots from the fox's previous comments "Yondaime was my father, why? Why did you lie to me jiji…" Naruto's body shook as he sobbed.

Kyūbi' eyes softened, maybe it was wrong for it to jump to conclusions with the boy clearly he was lied to, from what he said he must have it hard, Kyūbi sighed it really should have gone through the boy's memories as soon as it awakened before judging the boy and before the large fox opened its mouth, a presence was felt by both boy and demon.

Both looked in the direction of this presence, A man stood there holding his chest a large gash across it, his upper body is covered in a grey fur-lined jacket over a double-breasted vest, while his legs are covered in some kind of dark skin-tight pants with grey knee-high fur leggings covering his lower legs, and his arms are covered in some kind of gray elbow-length fur armbands that appears to end at his wrists and his hands were covered by white gloves. There are also ribbon-covered bandoleers emerging from his upper back and disappearing into his upper forearms. With fur-covered holsters, an eyepiece over his left eye, he has blue-gray eyes and wavy, shoulder-length dark brown hairs that he keeps unkempt and parted down the middle. He also has a faded goatee.

He staggered forward clutching his wound, "Shit at this rate, I'm gonna kick the bucket…again." He looked at Naruto "I saw your memories kid and I know you know the same feeling I went through, you know loneliness, but right now I need your help."

Before Naruto could speak up, Kyūbi interjected "Hollow…I haven't seen one of your kind in ages. Why should we help you?"

"Because I can give the boy my power and skills, just as long as he can keep me and Lilynette from dying, so please I'm begging you don't let my sister die." The man stumbled as he seemed to be losing strength, Naruto ran up to the man holding him up "Where's your sister I might be able to help."

The man shook his head "Lilynette is inside me, she was once a part of my power, to cure my unending loneliness, my power subconsciously separated to create my sister, if I die now then she dies as well and fade away into oblivion." He held his hand out "So will you help me Naruto."

Naruto looked uncertain till he heard Kyūbi' voice "Stop being a pansy and go for it, I'll help you for now."

Naruto nodded and clasped the man's arm "You've got my help and my trust Mister, Dattebayo!"

"The name's Starrk, Coyote Starrk and you have mine Naruto Uzumaki." As a glow emanated from the clasped hands and Kyūbi let loose it's Yōki at them, intent on helping, a smile forming on its face as it thought about Naruto's reaction once he sees what awaits him once he wakes up.

.

Iruka Umino was not having a nice night, first he had to fail his favorite student Naruto Uzumaki knowing full well such a judgment would crush his dreams, but he had to follow regulations, and now he felt perhaps Naruto was lashing out by stealing the 'Forbidden Scroll', he didn't want to believe Mizuki when he appeared and informed him of what Naruto had done. But knowing how Naruto thinks and going to the best possible place to hide, he came across the prone form of Naruto Uzumaki his clothes tattered and covered in sweat and dirt from training "He was training?"

Unknown to him Mizuki had just arrived and was not seeking to capture Naruto but sought to end the boy's life and fulfill his actual mission, and all of his planning had culminated to this point and if he had to take out Iruka in the process, well, Orochimaru would understand; Two birds One stone and all that. Mizuki reached for the large Shuriken strapped on his back intent on killing both Iruka and Naruto in one fell swoop but was interrupted by a large amount of demonic Yōki surging from the boy and another power that felt like a ton of bricks fell on their shoulders grounding both men.

They witnessed Naruto rise to his feet his eyes glowing with energy and the Yōki began to swirl around him and form a figure beside him, a naked feminine figure which almost looked like a female Naruto even a set of whisker marks on her cheeks.

Naruto panted as the energies around him lessened and took in his new features, he was 5'2" and his clothes were a tight fit for him now, his hair was longer at least shoulder-length and jaw-length bangs framing either side of his face and a Katana laid beside his feet. It sports a pewter-colored rectangular guard, with small protrusions on each corner, and a sun-like design wrapped around the hilt's collar. The hilt itself is a yellow color, and the sheath is a metallic-gold color.

He noticed his sensei's staring at him in shock, "What? Surprised I can ace a test."

"Test…What're you talking about Naruto?" Iruka asked puzzled by what he meant, Mizuki quickly picked himself up and reached for his large shuriken, Naruto spoke up again "Y'know the one I'm talking about, Mizuki-sensei told me to steal the scroll and learn a Jutsu from it to pass, guess what, I learned two instead."

Iruka' eyes widened as he turned around just in time to block a large shuriken that slammed into him and pinned him to the shack, "Naruto run away, it's a trick, make sure the scroll doesn't fall in his hands."

Before Naruto could even react, Mizuki spoke "I don't think you should do that, Naruto especially when I'm going to let you in on a secret about a law that the entire village has been hiding from you, for nearly 13 years now."

"What secret is that?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow, Starrk had told him that this was probably going to happen. Mizuki continued confidently ignoring Iruka' pleas to not tell that it is forbidden "That 13 years ago, October 10th the Yondaime defeated the Nine-tails not by killing it but by sealing it within a newborn. You understand the villagers hate now because you have the Kyūbi within you, you are the Kyūbi reincarnated." He swung his second giant shuriken at Naruto "Now die demon fox."

Naruto eyes looked clouded as his hair cast a shadow over it, he let Starrk take over for the moment as Naruto still had to attain the skills to defend himself, and "Fool" was all that left his lips as he charged forward slicing the shuriken in half and appearing behind Mizuki in a blur, "This entire village is filled with fools, hating one boy for something he sure as hell didn't ask for."

A large slash appeared across Mizuki' chest and he fell face first, unconscious without uttering a word, Iruka looked on in shock not only because Naruto exhibited impressive speed and skill but he held a chakra construct sword in his hand almost identical to the katana he possessed. Naruto dispelled the sword and walked up to Iruka and dislodged the shuriken pinning him "Naruto…" he gasped, "Naruto listen to me you are not the Kyūbi, you are my student Naruto Uzumaki…"

Naruto looked at the man's honest expression and nodded "Thanks Iruka-sensei that means a lot to me."

"Naruto close your eyes for sec." Naruto did as Iruka requested and soon felt a weight on his forehead, feeling it with his hands he felt the leaf inscribed on the metal plate; he opened his eyes shocked "You are now officially a Leaf Shinobi, Naruto."

Seeing Naruto's smile made him smile as well despite the pain, but Iruka' attention finally fell upon the naked girl lying in the clearing, "Naruto who the hell is that girl."

Naruto turned around confused by his sensei's words "What girl…"

When he finally noticed the girl his eyes widened in shock especially after he saw the whisker marks on her cheeks, "This is going to be a long night."

.

.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was looking on in shock at Naruto's appearance, he looked so much like his father now and the girl sitting beside him draped in a cloak ANBU cat covered her in she looked like a mini Kushina and even had whisker marks, Kakashi was in the same state as well till the Sandaime with the girl's and Naruto's permission took her blood sample and ordered Kakashi to have it analyzed in secrecy.

Kakashi had handed him the results, the girl was a match to the parents DNA, Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, meaning she is their daughter and the results also read she is 13 years old, conclusion the girl is Naruto Uzumaki's twin sister, 'But it's just not possible, we know that Kushina carried only one child, not twins.'

"Are these results accurate?" The wizened Hokage questioned Kakashi, a tall, fit ninja, is characterized by his tall and spiky white hair, forehead protector regularly covering his scarred left eye, and his chronically visible mask. Kakashi has always been seen with the standard Konoha Shinobi outfit along with iron plated gloves from his ANBU days. Kakashi nodded and raised four fingers "Four times actually, I monitored it personally, everything was done anonymously and to the letter, but the results were the same, she is by blood Naruto's sister."

Naruto just looked shocked and stared directly at the girl, Sarutobi turned as Iruka filled him in on what happened earning raised eyebrows from both the Hokage and Kakashi "Kyūbi's Yōki, huh."

The girl shifted under their stern, cold gazes, till she saw Naruto stand in front of her "I won't let anyone hurt my Imōto (Little Sister)."

"Nī-sama…" the girl stuttered out, surprising everyone present but the Sandaime stepped forward "Naruto if she was created with the Kyūbi's Yōki then we should really watch her closely, add the fact she possesses the very same seal on her navel as you do. We really have no idea how being close to her will affect you or your own seal."

"Yeah, I don't care and when were you going to tell me about that little problem, huh, slipped your mind did it Hokage-sama." Naruto snarled at the old man, shocking him at the drop of the affectionate title Naruto had always given him, Hiruzen tried to placate him "Now Naruto, I truly am sorry for not confiding in you the secret of the Kyūbi, but understand it wasn't exactly a pleasant thing to speak of nor did I know how to break it to you, I was hoping you'd be older than this before you hear of it, I created the law that it is forbidden to speak of your condition to the your generation in hopes of giving you a normal childhood."

"Well you know how well that turned out, don't you and even still you refuse to come clean with me." The three adults flinched at Naruto's cold tone; Hiruzen sweated a little "What're you talking about, Naruto."

"Tell me about my parents, now!" Naruto released a small amount of energy in his anger, barring the girl everyone else felt like a large weight landed on their shoulders, the Sandaime steadied himself by holding his table, and he simply gasped out "I can't tell you Naruto."

"Can't or won't, how about I tell you instead…Minato Namikaze, Yondaime Hokage,Kiiroi Senkō (Yellow Flash)…Kushina Uzumaki, heiress to the Uzumaki clan, former Jinchūriki of Kyūbi no Yōko, please correct me if I missed something." The energy they felt dissipated, Hiruzen slumped in his seat mouth gaping "How did you…"

"Kyūbi is very informative." Naruto stood up and holding his new sister's hand walked to the door, before opening the door without turning to face them he spoke "You've broken my trust Hokage-sama and about Kyūbi, in one night the demon gave me what I've dreamed of, something an entire village of humans saw fit to deny me for 13 years, for all your good intentions you too are included in them."

With that said Naruto walked out, slamming the door behind him and actually snarling at the receptionist who attempted to separate the girl from him; Inside the Hokage office, the Sandaime held his head bowed ashamed for failing Naruto, he stood up walking up to the portrait of Minato Namikaze muttering apologies he unsealed a few scrolls and handed them to Kakashi "I hope you know the way to your sensei's house, it's high time that Naruto stays in his clan home. Just give him his inheritance but warn him against using his father's last name till the time he is strong enough or at least Chūnin level. Get the girl's name as well and I'll create the necessary documents for her. After tonight things will be different."

"Hokage-sama…?" Kakashi questioned with a look, the Sandaime stood on his feet and turned around to look through his wide window overlooking the village "I… This village have failed the Yondaime Hokage and his child…I should say children now and by god, I will whip this village into shape for I will not fail Naruto now and besides Naruto's right Kyūbi in one night gave him something this village never would, a family to call his own."

Kakashi nodded in understanding and left in a puff of white smoke, on the other hand Iruka had other doubts "You sure it's the right thing to do, letting that girl be near him, for all we know it could be Kyūbi itself…"

"IRUKA…! Did you hear yourself just now, you're treating the girl the same way everyone else treats Naruto, all because she has some connection to the Nine-Tails, and it's probably why Naruto defended her we gave her the same looks he receives every day. I'm marking this as an SS-rank secret, Naruto's inheritance and the girl's birth." Sandaime still overlooking the village, now a little angered by Iruka's words and he could only imagine the village's response if this got out or the council's for that matter, he made that mistake with Naruto he won't make that mistake with the girl.

Iruka bowed his head in shame, 'The Sandaime is right and I thought I had moved on from that hatred, Naruto is just a kid and so is the girl perhaps I should give the girl the same chance I gave Naruto, God knows I kicked myself in the ass after I saw Naruto for who he really is.' "Can you really forge the documents required for the girl?"

"Not many are aware of this but I'm not known as the 'Professor' just because of my knowledge in Jutsu but also that I can create or copy documents so flawlessly that the person who had originally written the document can't make out the difference, infiltration mission in Hidden Cloud once… I had destroyed many important documents and rewritten them in complete and utter gibberish it took them an entire year to correct it." The old man chuckled and then turned around to face Iruka "I have a another idea, since Mizuki was found to be a traitor and I already have an inkling that someone's messing with the children's grades, I want you to head an investigation into the academy alongside a few ANBU namely Bear and Cat. Inform everyone that Team placements are postponed to a month and a half."

Iruka nodded to the old Hokage "Hai, Hokage-sama." and left to retire for the night.

The old Hokage sighed and spoke to himself "A month and a half would be enough time for the girl to get up to speed…well at least Naruto didn't explode on me, wonder how he'd react to Jiraiya."

The Hokage paled as he understood he was let off lightly, Jiraiya would probably have it worse…much, much worse.

Naruto and his sister ran across the rooftops avoiding the villagers, the time was easily 5:30 in the morning, Naruto leading the way to a weapon/clothing shop for Ninja named Devil May Cry, Someone who sympathized with Naruto's condition would beg to question why would he go into a shop when he's been kicked out of every one or overpriced heavily for paltry equipment and moldy food, well it's because a few years earlier he had come across this shop and found himself not treated any differently than an average customer, he knew now the adults who run the place knew who and what burden he held but they just didn't seem to care. As they entered the shop he turned to his sister "I'm sorry, I'm a terrible brother."

The girl gaped "What makes you say that, Nī-sama, till now all you've done is help."

"I didn't ask you if you have a name or not." Naruto said in a dejected tone, but was stopped from beating himself up when she hit him across the head "I didn't give it did I."

She smiled "It's Nariko, Dattebane!"

They both laughed drawing the attention of the woman who sat behind the counter "Naruto-kun, it's too early for a racket, pipe down."

"Hai Shinju-sama." replied Naruto gaining a tick mark from the now annoyed beautiful woman, she's in her mid-twenties, a curvy body, and brown eyes and long flowing brown hair, she was dressed in a white-blue kimono and held a long smoking pipe, she stared at Nariko "Who's your twin, Naruto."

"Ah, this is Nariko my sister, Nariko meet Shinju-sama." The woman began analyzing the girl Naruto claimed to be his sister, she had long flowing crimson hair which reached her heels, 5'3", well developed body for a 13 year old but not ridiculously though, her eyes were pinkish-violet in color, whisker marks on her cheeks which somehow enhanced her beauty and she was garbed in a large brown cloak and held a Katana with a crimson sheath and crescent shaped cross-guard and black color hilt.

"You're not joking are you?" The shop owner questioned Naruto earning a shake from him. Shinju sighed turning to the back door "Tatsuo, get your butt in here!"

A large muscled burly man entered the shop, dressed in a leather apron and black Shinobi pants; he had brown hair and eyes, he was tall nearly 6'9", he also held a large hammer "What is it woman, I was working in the forge…"

He noticed Naruto and the girl beside him and frowned "Naruto I know you're very lonely but a clone is no family."

"Nariko is no clone! Here see…" Naruto pinched her arm, "OW!" Nariko pinched him back, "OW! What was that for?"

"For pinching me, you dumb idiot."

"I had to prove them wrong somehow right."

"Then figure out another way, don't use me as a target, dummy." Both shopkeepers kept turning their heads following this conversation, Tatsuo held them by the back of their clothing to separate them "Alright that's enough, Point made."

Shinju was still skeptical about this but decided to drop the inquiry for Naruto's sake, because of the smile saw on the boy's face, not one of his fake mask smiles but a genuine smile, "Ok I'm gonna assume that you're here for clothes." seeing them nod, she continued "Naruto, unless Nariko here is a Shinobi then I'm afraid we can't sell to her."

"What! But you've sold me things before." Naruto stated, Tatsuo sighed "We never sold you a thing Naruto, all the stuff we gave you every time was old stock or leftover extras, and we could never charge you for that stuff."

"But I did pay for it." Naruto questioned frowning; Tatsuo replied "Every Ryō you gave us was used to open a tab for you, so when you became a Shinobi we wanted to surprise you by letting you take whatever you wanted as long as the credit lasted, and it'll last quite a while. Naruto we have a strict Shinobi only policy, so unless your sister can show me her headband…"

Naruto and Nariko looked down dejected; the shop door opened "I can vouch for her and Hokage-sama is going to allow her to be a Shinobi, so I think that can clear things up."

"You sure, Kakashi" Shinju asked eyebrow arched, Kakashi nodded "Did I mention that Naruto knows everything and I do mean everything. He and Nariko are moving into their parent's home tonight."

That statement made both store keepers look shocked, Tatsuo dropped his hammer and Shinju mumbled 'About goddamn time', Naruto turned to the Jōnin frowning "Why are you here Kakashi-san, did Hokage-sama want me watched now, afraid that the Kyūbi container might retaliate."

"Maa, Maa Naruto let's not jump to conclusions now, I just came by to show you the way to your parents place and find out your sisters name, which I did five minutes ago." Kakashi spoke in a bored tone and soon helped both Naruto and Nariko shop for clothing and was intrigued by Naruto's new clothing style, perhaps tonight had been a real eye-opener for him.

Unknown to them a 13 year old girl with brown hair gathered in a Chinese-style Chignon and brown eyes dressed in pink and brown pajamas had listened in on their conversation and began wondering who Naruto Uzumaki really was and whether what he said about Kyūbi was true or not.
