Chapter 1

It was dark; the sun sank down the horizon not too long ago as a very determined young boy trained hard in one of the many training grounds. The night sky still bright enough that clouds were visible, the moon peaking out ever so slightly. No sound to be heard except the wind rushing through the trees, and panting of the exhausted boy of about five years. Sweat slid down his whiskered cheeks as he lay on his back. His hair spiked yet messy, he had trained on into the night without rest. "I…will…become strong." He muttered between gasps. "Gotta…beat him." He slowly raised to his feet, bent over, hands on his knees, attempting to catch his breath. Eyes as blue as the sky full of sorrow and determination, of pain, and knowledge half lidded staring at the warn out stump littered with indentions and cuts. "I…can't…give…up!" Lunging at the stump, a battle cry resonating from his throat, he continued on.

Not too far from his location, a hungry creature stalked ever closer to its prey. So engrossed in his training was the boy, that he never sensed it. As the creature got nearer and nearer, it snapped a twig, alerting the boy of its presence. The boy turned in time to see a wolf slam into him, pinning him to the ground below. It growled hungrily before driving its jaw into his shoulder. Screaming in pain, he struggled with the wolf, beating its head in with his fist with all his might, prying at its mouth. "Help!" his cries falling on neither a villager, nor ninja, yet even if it had, no help would come anyway. Finding the strength at last he wrenched the wolf's jaw away, and ran in the direction of his apartment, yet the wolf still took chase. Closer and closer it got before halting in its tracks, fearing the villagers would see it if it went any further than the trees, yet still the boy ran for his life until finally reaching his apartment, throwing open the door, and slamming it shut.

Locking the door as best he could, he lent his back against the door, sliding to a seated position. Holding his shoulder in agony, he couldn't help but wonder why it wasn't healing as fast as it should. He could tell it was getting infected, as the pain became unbearable. His tired body, not ready for the pain passed out, letting fate decide what happens to him.

"So…once again I have to save this brat. Ugh…that's a nasty bite he's got." Came the voice of none other than Kyuubi.

The fox was about to heal the wound and destroy the infection when an idea struck. "Hm…maybe this could work to my benefit." His laughter could chill a veteran to the bone. Using his chakra, he took hold of the infection, changing it to something else, molding it to a new bloodline. As he placed the final touches, he let it loose to run it's course through the boys body. He then set to work on taking care of the wound, and after was said and done, he returned to his slumber hoping his plans would come to fruition later on. "Sleep well brat…you'll have a big surprise in the morning, oh I guarantee it. Hahahahahahahahhhhh."


The light of the sun woke him from last night's event, his eyes opened groggily, as he sat up from the floor. He noticed that everything seemed clearer than usual, as if the world had been brought into greater detail. Dismissing it as nothing, he stood and went to the bathroom to clean up, as well as take a look at that wound, though as he traced his hand across it, he noticed it was healed. "Well at least that's over." He muttered as he entered the bathroom door. Turning on the sink to find that the water wasn't working, he guessed the landlord decided today was a good day to fuck with the demon, though he didn't care. Raising his head to look himself over, he had to do a double take. String back at him was a different person completely. Gone were his usual golden locks, replaced by the white tresses that adorned his scalp now. Gone were the whisker marks from his cheeks, and his eyes weren't the usual sky blue, as they were more like ice-filled orbs. Removing his shirt to see if anything else was different about him, he gasped as his eyes fell upon a muscled torso, though not nearly a six-pac at his age, it was well on its way to be, not an ounce of baby fat left. "Ok…I…gotta go see the old man about this." With that thought in mind he dashed out of the apartment in search of the Hokage tower. He had reached his destination faster than usual, and wondered if it had anything to do with his new body.

As he entered the building, he noticed a few people staring at him, though not the usual glares he got daily, he knew those very much; these stares were of confusion and surprise. Reaching the secretary who also had the same look as the others, he asked to be let in to see the ever-aging Hokage. As he knocked, a voice asking him to come in prompted him to do so. "Ah…and who might you be little one?"

"You gotta be kidding me old man, it's me, Naruto!" This caught him off guard. This boy claimed to be someone else, though the way he said old man he certainly couldn't help but wonder if it was true.

"Naruto? What on earth…happened to you?"

Staring at the Hokage with much hope, "I don't know, I thought you would be the one to know!"

"Well I certainly can see your appearance has changed a great deal," Getting up from his chair, he made his way to Naruto, kneeling to get a closer look, "are you sure you have no clue why?" As Naruto shook his head in the negative, the Hokage took on a thoughtful expression. "What is it that you can you tell me about this?" Urging to get answers.

"Well…when I woke up, I noticed that everything seemed…clearer…I-I felt different but, better than I had in days. It…also feels like I have something inside me, something that I can control, yet don't know what." The Hokage listening not missing a word.

"Anything happened that might have caused this?" He just had to ask.

"Uh…well last night I was attack by a wolf during training, I fought hard to get away, but I only escaped with a huge bite on my shoulder, I think it got infected, I remember pain, then…nothing except waking up like this."

The Hokage sat back in thought. "I see…and this…feeling inside you, have you tried to see what it is you can control?"

"N-no…I haven't." came his reply.

"Well then…why don't we find out shall we?" Insisted the Hokage, motioning for him to try.

With a nod, Naruto closed his eyes, to find what it is, he concentrated hard to find it, and when he did, he felt a tug as he brought it out. When he opened his eyes, he could see the Hokage had backed up against his desk, eyes wide as dinner plates. You'd think he shit a brick or something. Curious as Naruto was, he looked at himself, and then tried hard not to panic as what he saw was fur…his clothes shredded and fallen to the floor. He was taller, much taller. Searching for a reflective surface he found one on the wall, and nearly jumped out of his skin at what he saw…staring back at him was now a wolf-like creature, big, and human-like. His head of a wolf, his body like a bodybuilder covered in fur, his legs as wolfish as his head. What he heard from the Hokage was barely above a whisper but his ears caught it. "W-w-werewolf…."

As Naruto resumed his human form, he slumped to the floor in a heap, obviously shaken at what he could become. With tears in his eyes he looked at his only friend and father figure. "Am…am I a monster?" His question filled with hurt and fear.

Calming down, the Hokage made his way toward Naruto, and embraced him in a hug. "Never…you could never be a monster to me." These words reassuring the boy that he wouldn't lose his only precious person. "Kyuubi…somehow I know this is your doing. Just what are you planning?"

"Listen Naruto…I think I have figured out what this may be," he said, hoping to kami that this would satisfy Naruto's curiosity, as the boy in question looked up, "I think maybe this is a sort of bloodline you've inherited, like the Uchiha's Sharingan eye for example.

"You…really think so?" Naruto asked.

The Hokage smiled at him. "Of coarse." As he set Naruto down again, he was overjoyed to see that he was excited over such news. "You know, I've been meaning to enroll you into the ninja academy, would you like that Naruto?"

He couldn't believe his ears. Not only did he find out about a bloodline he never knew about, but he is actually being given the chance to become a ninja. "Really? Y-you mean it?" When he received a nod, he couldn't hold it in, he just burst into a fit of cheers and bouncing around.

Seeing this, the Hokage couldn't help but chuckle at this display. "Well…you start tomorrow, oh and Naruto," waiting to see he got his complete attention, "What do you say we get you some new clothes…you can't go naked you know. Hehe" This caused the boy to look himself over, then blush so deep a tomato would be jealous.

"Oh man I forgot about that!"

With all that out of the way, they headed out to the shops, looking for the bare essentials needed. What will await Naruto as his journey continues? Who can say, but we can be sure it won't be boring.
