A large crocodile was swimming in the river as a eight year old boy walks along side the river bank following the same direction as the large crocodile. The boy stretched a bit as he walked. "How much futher to Konoha?" He asked in annoyance as he came to a complete stop making the crocodile suddenly swim over to the embank and pulls it's large body out of water. It's yellow eyes narrowed slightly at the boy, just as the boy turns to look directly at the crocodile. After a brief starring contest, the crocodile grins at the boy.
"We are almost there, brat. Why? Are you getting second thoughts about this?" The crocodile asks as it watches the boy in slight amusement.
"Tch...I don't like the fact that mother, is making me come here to join this village." He answered as he walks over, and sits down deside the large crocodile.
"Your mother wants you to befriend the jinchuriki of the Kyuubi, and gain his or her trust. It sounds like an easy mission, besides the fact she wants you to join the hidden leaf village, and become one of it's ninjas." The crocodile answers calmly as it watches the boy that was was sitting beside him.
"She never told me, why I have to do this." He said growling as he ran a hand through his long spikey dark brown color hair, out of a nervous habbit of his. His natural brown eyes narrow a bit as they held bitterness and annoyance in them. The boy was wearing a brown hooded cloak over a black long sleeve shirt, black pants, and black ninja style sandles. The cloak appeared to be torn in many places giving the boy a mysterious and almost haunting appearance. The boy had a large light tan color backpack on his back.
"Zen, your mother has her reasons to send you to this village. Best to just do what she says, you know how she is and what she's like." The crocodile says with a large yawn as he glances at the boy.
"Hah, I rather push the old bat off a cliff or feed her to a pack of starving wolves." Zen said grinning almost evilly as he pictured ways of how to kill off his mother. The crocodile lets out a sigh and shakes his head.
"I'll never understand you humans. Let alone you, boy." The crocodile mumbles under his breath as he shook his head slowly.
"Shouldn't I be entering the village through it's front gates, and not sneaking in through Konoha's river systems? Besides we must have spotted like thirty seven security breaches in the walls, that are very hard to detect or notice unless you know where to look, that could allow us entery into the village or slip out without anyone noticing us." Zen asked as he looks at his friend. He takes his backpack off and places it in front of him, so he can relax a bit.
"Zen, you don't have any travel papers or ties that would allow you entry had we tried the front gates. Also those security breaches we spotted most likely have some kind of trap waiting there or worse the leaf nins already know about those spots and set up some kind of alarm to go off." The crocodile said frowning. "Best way to enter their village undected, is by taking the river systems. No one in their right mind would try the water ways beause they are normaly way to deep to hold your breath for that long to reach the spot to enter the village that way. Anyways you better use that jutsu now, so you can breathe under water as you sneak in. The entery through the village is just up ahead anyways."
Zen sighed in annoyance to this as he removed his shoes as well as his cloak. He places them deep inside his backpack so they wont get wet. "Fine...Thank kami, my bag is water proof or else this would really piss me off." Zen mumbles under his breath as he slips his backpack back onto his back before he does a series of complicated hand sighns. "Forbidden Transformation Art: Water Demon. " He says bitterly.
Insteantly his bones began cracking as they began shifting under his skin in a frightening mannor. He became taller as well as skinnier almost to the point you could see his bones bone. His natural pale color skin, turned a very sickly grey color. His jaw cracked as his mouth widen as his teeth became longer and even shaper. His ears shifted as they soon resembled long fins, that you would find of a sea serpent. On the sides of his neck, gills appeared as his fingers and toes became webbed looking. Finger nails grew longer as they turned sharper to resemble claws, even toenails grew longer as well as sharper. A long grey tail had also appeared. His eyes changed dramatically in appearance they almost became reptilian looking as scales appeared around his eyes.
He stands there for a few minutes to fight off the searing pain that was shooting all over his body until it becomes a very dull ache. He looks at his crocodile who only waits there beside him. Zen then dives into the river at the same time the crocodile joins him. The gills on either the side of Zen's throat insteantly began to move, turning the water into air for him to breathe safely under water with no problem or concerns. He turned to look at his crocodile friend who snorted and starts to swim up a head of him. Making Zen follow him with ease through the water. The two swam through the water with ease, while staying completely under the surface to avoid detection. The two eventually slipped into Konoha. It wasn't easy but they managed to get in this way.
Zen sent a glare to his crocodile friend who gave him a evil grin. This was due to the fact he didn't warn Zen, that their were metal bars that he had too pry loose in order to get in through the village this way. Zen shook his head and followed the crocodile as they eventually surfaced to find themselves deep inside the forest. Zen drops the jutsu as he changes back to his normal appearance. He has to rest against his crocodile almost immediately after droping the jutsu, the pain shooting through his body makes it rather difficult to swim on his own. Also in order to keep himself above water as he waits for the pain to go away.
The crocodile floats there not at at all bothered by the fact his summoner has to rest against him. The crocodile was only way to familiar of the toll that the forbidden transformation arts, takes on a person's body. Once the pain was gone Zen was able to swim on his own, even though his crocodile stays near by incase his summoner needs him as he eventually pulls himself out of the river as he gets up onto the embankment with no problem.
Zen sighs as he looks up at the sky. It would be nightfall soon. He would have to camp out in the woods, before truly entering the village in the morning. The crocodile watches him as he sets up his small campsite from the water. Zen was very careful so that any patrolling ninjas would not spot his campsite easily. His crocodile friend watches him in silence as he leans back against a tree trunk as he sits on the ground with a tiny fire burning in front of him to fight off the cold night air and to help him dry out.
"You really don't know why your here, do you?" He asked Zen as he watches his summoner carefully as he pulls himself out of the water to keep Zen some company.
"Nope. All I was told was to join the hidden leaf village, become a leaf nin, befriend and gain the Jinchuriki's trust. That's all I was told. The old hag doesn't tell me anything or fully exsplains things to me." Zen huffs before looking at his crocodile with a suspicious look. "You know something don't you?"
"Nope. Just trying to understand why the hell we are here, is all." The crocodile huffed in annoyance.
"That makes two of us." Zen said sighing. "I don't even know who the Jinchuriki is anyways, so how the hell am I suppose to befriend and gained the jinchuriki's trust when I don't even know who that person is!?"
"Tch...Jinchurikis aren't well liked. Find the person who the village hates, and you'll find the jinchuriki. It's not that hard to figure out, Zen." The crocodile said as he watches him.
"I guess your right. However I'm doing things my way though. Mother's plans whatever those are, can honestly go straight to hell for all I care." Zen said firmly. He then smiles. "This is my freedom, from her. I plan to enjoy every moment of it."
"You never follow orders anyways, so do whatever you want. I don't know why I bother asking you, to just do what you are told to do. Seeing how you, just do whatever you want anyways. Just don't get caught, Zen. We crocodiles rather not locate another summoner." The crocodile grumbles even though their is a deep sorrowful look in his yellow eyes. The memories of their previous summoner replay in the the crocodile's mind.
"When have I ever been caught?" Zen asked grinning in evil amusement as he looks at his crocodile.
"First time for everything, brat." The crocodile warns with a low growl of warning.
"You worry to much." Zen said frowning.
"And you don't worry enough!" The crocodile snaps in anger as the irritation can now be seen in his eyes, that insteantly replaced the sorrow that shone just moments ago.
"Chill, it will be fine." Zen said waving off his crocodile's concern.
"Seriously, don't do anything reckless like you usually do, Zen Kogin." The crocodile hisses before slipping back into the river to keep watch, no longer wanting to talk to his summoner. Zen snorts and shakes his head.
"I'm not that reckless, worry wart." Zen pouts as he glares at his crocodile. The crocodile ignores him as it stays alert waiting and watching for any dangers, so he could keep his summoner safe. Zen sighed as he ran a hand through his wet hair while watching the fire burn before him.
