Shinobi Wolf Chronicles
I don't own Naruto or the legend of werewolves! If I did Sasuke would of never left!
Chapter One: Origin
At Ichiraku's Ramen Shop…
Normal P.O.V.
"One more bowl please!"
"Come on Naruto! You had enough bowls! I know that mission was tough but come on!" complained Sakura
"Hn, dope" said Sasuke
"Come on Sakura! Can this be my last bowl, please?" asked Naruto
"Fine…" sighed Sakura
"Yay! Thanks Sakura-Chan!" said Naruto. He then started to slurp down the ramen faster than he ever did.
"Well, I'm going to head home. Coming Sasuke?" asked Sakura
"Ya, sure." Said Sasuke getting up and walking over the Sakura
"Bye guys!" said Naruto
"Later Naruto!" said Sakura as Sasuke wrapped his arm around Sakura, making Sakura blush a little.
At Tsunade's Office…
"I see, I'll send them in 2 days. Because they just got back from a B-Ranked mission and I'm sure they are exhausted."
"Just make sure you assign this mission to THEM, it's that dire, Hokage-sama."
"You can count on it." Said Tsunade
2 days later…
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura walked down the hall and into Tsunade's office.
"Good, you're here. I have a S-Ranked mission for you three…" said Tsunade.
"Wow S-Ranked. What is it?" asked Sakura.
"A legend, born…" said Tsunade.
"What legend, that's not specific enough." Said Sasuke.
"The wolf-creature-monster…what was it…WEREWOLF! That's it, the werewolf legend. So you need to stay on your toes and avoid getting bitten." Said Tsunade.
"Werewolf! How is that even possible! Legends are supposed to be make-believe! And you count on us to NOT get bitten!" said Naruto out of nowhere.
"I'm not sure, that's what worries me…" said Tsunade with a half-shocked half-worried look on her face.
"Sounds easy enough…" said Sasuke underestimating the werewolf a bit.
"Hmph, don't get your hopes up Sasuke, they aren't that easy to defeat. Either kill them easy during the day in human form, with silver, and if you get caught in a battle… out-last them during the night." Explain Tsunade with a smirk.
"But don't get off your guard, I would hate for one of you to come back with the curse. But… if one of you do, we need to keep it from spreading it as much as possible." Said Tsunade with her smirk gone.
"DON'T WORRY BAA-CHAN! WE'LL SLAY THAT BEAST FASTER THAN U CAN SAY-" said Naruto before he was cut off by Sakura AND Tsunade punching Naruto on the head making twin bumps.
Sasuke smirk and almost laughed, but made sure no one noticed.
"Anyway…that's all the info I have except the location…Reports say the creature is at the upper rim of the Fire Country. Should take a few days to get there, a day before a full moon. You should arrive the day of it (like its day, but when it's night there's a full moon)." Said Tsunade.
"Now all I can say is…good luck! DISMISSED!" said Tsunade slamming her fist down on her desk, which gave Team 7 the signal to get going.
Near the main gate…
Shikamaru, Temari, Ino, Chouji, Kiba, Mina and Hinata were talking by the gate. Kiba noticed Team 7 walking to the gate so he yelled "Hey guys!"
Naruto waved and yelled "Hey!" Then saw Hinata and ran toward her.
Hinata was caught off guard when Naruto grabbed her and hugged her.
"N-naruto-kun!" said Hinata with a small blush.
"How's my wife doing?" Naruto said with a large grin on his face.
"Well, we were just talking about you getting assigned a S-Ranked mission." Said Hinata.
"Ya we did get assigned one. We gotta put a certain wo-" said Naruto getting cut off again by Sakura punching him in the head.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR SAKURA-CHAN?" yelled Naruto rubbing his head.
"This mission is supposed to not be explained too much! Baka!" said Sakura.
"Sakura's right, Naruto. Sorry guys we can't explain a lot about it, if we move now we can get there in not as much time. We would need it…" said Sasuke walking past Naruto, grabbing Sakura by the waist with him. This gave Sakura a small blush. "Sneaky Uchiha…"
"That's ok, we were just about to go anyway." Said Shikamaru. Then out of nowhere turned around with Temari and started making out with her. He was beat already because Kiba just started kissing Mina, making her blush a little.
"Well! Gotta fly! Bye Hinata, try not to worry to much!" said Naruto, then kissed Hinata and Team 7 was off!
On the flip side…
"Map leads into this cave…Be ready for anything, keep your torches out of the way and where you can see where your going!" said Kenzo as he started into the cave with his men following behind.
Back to Team 7, 2 days later…
"We should be at the location just over this hill. Ask around to try to pick up any info on this werewolf." Said Sasuke. "Why do I not like this feeling…something's going to happen…"
Team 7 made it up the hill and saw a small village, patches of blood on the ground and houses and men burying dead bodies, some not even bodies.
"Oh god, poor people…" said Sakura.
Naruto clutched his fist in anger. "These people don't deserve to lose love ones and friends! We must stop this, and fast!"
"Ok, let's head down and ask around." Said Sasuke already walking down the hill.
Naruto and Sakura caught up and they made their way down to the village, who's men appeared seriously tired.
"Ok, go around and ask…" said Sasuke.
Naruto's P.O.V.
"Excuse me miss! Can you give me any info on the beast who's been attacking?" I asked.
"Well for starters…" started the lady. "The creature comes out every full moon, and new moon…on the full moon it feasts on us and scares away our livestock. On the new moon it might wonder over to our village and try to communicate with us, the men would yell out of windows who it is, but it would never tell us."
"Well that's obvious! It doesn't want to get chased out of it's own village if it lives here!" said Naruto.
"That's exactly what I say… I'm sorry that's all the info I can provide you with sir…" said the lady.
"It's ok, it's good enough." Said Naruto. "Just… wow…"
Sasuke's P.O.V.
"Excuse me, can you tell me anything on the beast that has been attacking?" asked Sasuke.
"Y-your from Konoha…right? Asked the man. "Yes I am…" replied Sasuke.
"Well, I'm one of the ones who live close to the gate the beast enters…I can hear bones cracking… skin shifting, screams and groans of agony, only during the full moon though, that's when I hear doors torn open and people screaming for their lives… when dawn hits I see the beast's bloody footprints but only 'til it reaches the forests. I've seen kids, with heads bitten off and skulls missing… it's a gruesome horror show!" explained the man before he started crying. "That THING…killed my son… he was breathing heavily and missing an arm and a foot, chin only showing bone… I had to bury him like that… If you fight that thing, don't let it harm you, like it did my people and son!" finished the man.
"These people…Him personally…have been through so much! I should heed Tsunade's warning and NOT underestimate it…" thought Sasuke before thanking the man for the information.
Sakura's P.O.V.
"Excuse me, but can you tell me anything on the werewolf coming here?" asked Sakura
"Why yes I can, about a 3 months ago my husband has been said missing, he was one of the ones who survived an attack from a gray werewolf. He was in the hospital for 3 weeks, before he disappeared. The next full moon, I was stuck outside in my garden when a brown, werewolf came. I was sure I was going to die then and there, but something stopped the werewolf from killing me. I looked into it's eyes, and I saw my husband. He has a strong will, and I know a lot about legends. If one with the curse has a strong enough will, not even the full moon itself can make him/her lose control. And form the recent killings, the hunting and searching of the werewolf broke his will, so that's why he's rampaging the village! But I know where he hides out! But I'm not going to tell you until you and your friends SWEAR on your ninja names you will not kill him unless on self defense ONLY!" explained the strong lady.
"Damn! This lady knows how to be tuff!" thought Sakura. "Thanks for the info." Said Sakura with a smile and left.
Normal P.O.V. in the middle of the village…
"Ok, we're all here. I hope we all got solid information." Said Sasuke.
"I'll start." Said Naruto. "There's a difference in the werewolf's reactions on the full moon and new moon. Full moon it kills, New moon it tries to communicate with the villagers. They ask for the identity of the werewolf, but it refuses to tell." Explained Naruto.
"Ok I'll explain now." Started Sasuke. "The beast screams and groans with agony during transformation, with bones cracking and re-arranging and skin stretching. It's a savage killing machine and left some bloody remains. Footprints are left but only until it reaches the forest"
"My turn…" said Sakura. "3 months ago there was a gray werewolf, sense on man was injured during a full on assault, and 3 weeks of hospital care, he went missing. One person knows the identity of the werewolf now, which is brown, but she refuses to tell the location of where he hides unless we swear not to kill him unless for self defense. I also know that a person who was bitten and that has a strong will, won't lose control, not even under a full moon. So if one of us were to be bitten, sense we have strong wills, we don't have to worry of a bloody mess in Konoha." Explained Sakura…
