A/N: in this fanfic, the Uchihas were never alive. In there place is the clan I made up. Landon Ookami (ME!!) is the only survivor of a disease that he is immune to.

Fur Unleashed

Nightly race, Midnight

"Ready," Lee calls out with enthusiasm. "Go!"

With that, we're off. Naruto, and me neck and neck. I look out the corner of my eye to see him forming his famous hand seal. "So you wanna' race using jutsu huh?" I start to form fake hand signs, for what I'm about to do is show my true nature to my friends. Something my father told me not to do on his deathbed.

FLASHBACK

Son, is that you?

Yes Daddy, I'm here.

You know… I love you, right?

Yes sir.

If you love your life, and me don't tell anyone about it, okay?

Yes sir.

END FLASHBACK

"Shadow clone jutsu." Five Narutos pop up, each pulling the one's in front of its arm, slinging the real one near the halfway mark. "Try and catch up now Landon! Ha Ha!" I have to do it know before I change my mind. I stop, willing the Change. My shirt rips as my muscles start to bulge. I can feel my grayish fur and tail growing, bones realigning to show more lupin-like qualities, my face stretching to form a muzzle, and my ears move to the top of my head. My eyes that were once as gray as my hair(or fur) were now an amber color. All this happened in a matter of seconds since I can control my Change better. I start to run. The wind in my fur feels exhilarating as I catch up to Naruto. He hears the clicking of my long, sharp claws on the stone path. He turns to see a huge, human-like beast closing in on him.

It's the last leg of the race and I just took the lead by growling and scaring Naruto out of his wits (which there wasn't much of anyway). I know it wasn't sportsmen-like, but the wild side of me couldn't resist. Because I'm running down wind from the others, I can smell the fear and disbelief from Kiba and Akamarru's direction. The sent of pure curiosity with the hint of confusion was coming from Lee. After I crossed the finish line, I HAD to rest because I rushed my Change. "Whoa," said Naruto, panting almost as hard as me. "What is that thing?"
