Prologue: The Hyuga incident
The Kumo-nin rushes miles away from Konoha under a moonless night. A sack containing a crying Hyuga girl rests on his back. The Kumo-nin lands on a branch to catch his breath. The Kumo-nin was completely successful in the first phase of his mission. By now the Hyuga clan, The Hokage's best ANBU, and possibly Konoha's Jinchuriki, if they still have one, are after him. All he has to do is lose the Leaf-nin and cross the border into his country, then he's home free. He wipes the sweat away from his face. Several wolves howl in the distance making him slightly nervous. The Kumo-nin completely forgot that Konoha also had the Inuzuka and Aburame clans.
"Shut it, you" The Kumo-nin growls
He doesn't mean to be harsh but, the adrenalin and emotions pumping through him are making him edgy. The Kumo-nin starts running again.
Minutes later, the Kumo-nin comes across an abnormally large wolf. A wolf demon to be exact. The wolf has a scar across his left eye, reddish/black fur, and two tails. Several other wolves, the wolf's pack and all normal wolves, surround the Kumo-nin and snarl at him. The pack doesn't normally go after humans but, the cries coming from the sack that the Kumo-nin is carrying are sending the Alpha and the pack into a killing frenzy. They all think that it's one of the Alpha's pups that's crying. The Alpha sent two pack members back to his mate to check on her.
"So, do the doggies want to play?" The Kumo-nin asks, as he draws a Kunai "Let's play, you mutts!" The Kumo-nin taunts and generates a bit of electricity from his hands.
At the end of the hour, five wolves of the twenty member pack are dead, three are injured, and the rest are tearing the Kumo-nin apart and devouring him.
The Alpha rips open the sack. Hinata freezes at the site of the wolves. Tears run down her face, but she doesn't make a sound. The Alpha lets out a reassuring chirp and picks up Hinata by her shirt with his teeth. The Alpha and the three injured head back to the den site while the rest of the pack goes back to their task of hunting their next meal.
The den site is a large cave next to a river deep within the forests of the Land of Fire. The end of the area is known as Wolf's tear.
Once at the den site, the two wolves the Alpha sent back and the Alpha's mate rush up to the Alpha. Excited barks are exchanged. The other wolves sniff Hinata. Seven pups rush up to the returning wolves. The Alpha sets Hinata on the ground and licks her. The Alpha lets out a protective snarl and a few barks to tell them that Hinata is his pup. The puppies surround her and start licking her.
"Puppies!" Hinata laughs excitedly.
As the day progresses, Hinata begins to miss her family but she does as she's always told when lost, to stay put or find an adult that she knows in a place she feels safe, and decides to stay put with the pack of wolves until she can see or hear some adults. Unfortunately hours pass and no adults show up. As hours turn to days and days turn to weeks, Hinata fades into the forests with the wolf pack.
As for Konoha, due to Hinata's abduction they stop all trade with Kumo. They then start making demands. Kumo, being the proud nation they, are goes on the defensive. The Kage start uneasy peace talks but as the months go by, the possibility of war grows. To make matters worse, Kumo's jinchuriki are stationed near Konoha. This causes Hiruzen to go back on his word and train Naruto to be a weapon. Aside from a few skirmishes between Kumo and Konoha-nin, a war doesn't erupt and the peace talks finally succeed with Kumo having to give up many of their secrets. However, Konoha also has to make sacrifices due to the peace talks. They have to give up the last person who had seen their missing Kumo-nin alive, which would be Hiashi. However, Konoha got the last laugh when Hizashi switched with his brother to sate Kumo's lust for blood.
Shortly after the end of the skirmishes, a story starts about a ghost in the forests of Konoha. A ghost that's part human and part wolf.
Chapter 1
-Present day-
Sarutobi sits in his office and looks at Kurenai, Kakashi and Asuma. It's the week before the Academy team selections and he wants to find out which of the graduating genin his current Jonin instructors would like to teach.
"Each of you have examined the graduating Genin over the course of the school year so I'm aware you have a pretty good idea as to what you want for teams." Sarutobi explains "So, who do you want for teams?" Sarutobi asks
"I'd like to reform Ino-Shika-Cho, I've worked with their parents and they worked well." Asuma answers.
"What about Naruto or Yota?"
"While yes they are good heavy hitters, I'm not sure I'm the best person to train them."
"Very well. I'll allow it. Kurenai, Kakashi what about you two." Sarutobi wonders
"I'd very much like to train sensei's son. My team will be more for frontline assault anyway. Aside from that, you and Jiraiya did teach him the shadow clone due to his reserves. I'd also like to train Yota due to the fact that he has a storm related kekkai genkai. I can train him in jutsu that's related to his bloodline. The Uchiha I'd like to train because I do have the Sharingan. Sakura, I'm sure has lots of potential. Her chakra capacity would make her an excellent genjutsu expert or a medical expert. She also has the highest scores when it comes to subjects that ninja don't normally deal with. However, I'm also aware of her crush on the Uchiha. I believe it would be best if she were put on Kurenai's team" Kakashi explains
"I'd like to have Naruto on my team actually. Naruto, like Asuma said, is a good heavy hitter and he has a sensor ability plus, his senses are heightened. Naruto, like Kakashi says has the Shadow clone which is good for what my team will specialize in but, Naruto doesn't need someone to just train him, he needs some one that has a level of maturity to meet his needs." Kurenai explains
"I can do that. Besides you can train Sakura in genjutsu." Kakashi states
"Naruto has ADHD and other emotional and mental problems due to the treatment given to him by civilian and ninja alike. He needs mental and emotional support"
"He also has the fox. Can you deal with Naruto, if the fox's power starts coming out?"
"Yes I can. I've developed a soothing Genjutsu that affects all five senses to help the body relax. It's perfect for him." Kurenai defends.
"Kurenai does have a point. Kurenai, you can have Naruto. Kakashi, you can have Yota and Sakura." Sarutobi says.
"Yes, lord Hokage." Kakashi sighs sadly.
"Thank You lord Hokage." Kurenai smiles
"Kakashi, Asuma, you two are dismissed. Kurenai, I need to speak to you privately." Sarutobi orders
The two male Jonin leave.
"Don't worry, Lord Hokage. I'll take good care of Naruto. You know that." Kurenai assures him.
"I do, however, are you aware of our near war we went to with Kumo because of the Hyuga incident?" Sarutobi asks
"Yes."
"Well when the threat of war first started, I told Naruto about his true nature."
"Lord Hokage, why would you do such a thing? You promised…." Kurenai starts shouting only to be silenced by Hiruzen.
"Yes I realized what I did was hypocritical but I had two Bijuu at our doors, literally so that if a war started they could easily take us out. Now as I was saying, after I told Naruto, at first he was heartbroken and went into a deep depression but I managed to get him out of it. With Jiraiya's and Inoichi's help, we were able to make contact with the fox and trained Naruto to utilize his Bijuu abilities. The fox was surprisingly cooperative and immediately established a mother-son bond with Naruto." Hiruzen says.
"That doesn't sound good." Kurenai says.
"Actually it is. It's how we found out that the Uchiha were behind the Kyubi attack. The Kyubi has been working with us since. However, working with the Kyubi has its draw backs."
"Explain." Kurenai demands, trying to keep an open mind and hoping for the best.
"During our interactions, we learned that Naruto is indeed half demon." Hiruzen says.
"I think maybe I should get some ANBU." Kurenai says.
"Kurenai, the fox manipulated Kushina's DNA. As a result, Naruto is biologically Kushina's and the Kyubi's."
"T…that isn't possible."
"It is if Kushina allowed it." Hiruzen points out.
"Why would they do such a thing?" Kurenai asks.
"According to the fox; Minato, Kyubi and Kushina were in love with each other so much that they altered the seal so that the three of them could be together. According to the fox, she even went through the 10 month period and the pains of labor. However, I fear that there is a darker reason behind it. Either way, you'll need to keep an eye on him. Kiba will be able to help you."
"How?"
"Kiba, Yota, and Ino are aware of Naruto being a jinchuriki. Shikamaru might know as well but I'm not sure. Either way, if they have a bad vibe about Naruto, it would be best if you listened to what they had to say." Hiruzen says.
"Alright, thanks for the advice. I'll keep that in mind." Kurenai smiles.
"One more thing, they train well together. You'll find out what I mean when you test them."
"Sure."
Once they're done talking, Kurenai leaves the office.
-Elsewhere, deep in the forests of the land of fire-
A creature leaps from tree to tree without chakra. A pack of wolves follow. Several howls are heard. The creature howls with them. Acting on instincts taught by the wolves, a feral, 15-year-old, Hyuga girl leaps out of the trees and on top of a large, old elk. She whips her back length hair back to keep some of it out of her face as she sinks her teeth and long, sharp nails into elk's neck. Blood splatters onto the girl as she rips out its throat. The pack of wolves joins in and help bring the elk down. The girl backs away as the others eat first. The old alpha gives her a piece of meat. The alpha snarls at the others as she eats the meat raw. After the gorge of flesh, the feral girl licks herself clean. The elk's blood drools from her mouth. She and the other wolves then go into an intense grooming session.
