This took way too long to write, but, enjoy.
______________________________________________________________________________
It was a quiet, peaceful night in Konoha. The stars were twinkling, the sky was black as ash, and the large full moon hovered over the city as if it were going to fall any second. Deep within the town, a small, blond, six year old boy was running for his life. Behind him was a small group of five men holding rifles and Katana. Hatred and anger burned in their eyes.
The boy came to a corner in the ally way he had went through, the men in hot pursuit. The boy came to a grinding halt as he came upon a dead end. He turned to run back, but the men blocked his way.
"W-why are y-you doing this t-to m-me?" he said through his tears.
"We don't need a reason, DEMON!" shouted one of the men.
The men closed in on the child, their weapons aimed towards him. He let out a load sob as the men drew closer and closer.
'Their going to kill me!' thought the boy. 'But what did I do to them? All I did was play with one of their daughters. Why is that so bad?'
"I'll show you to try and manipulate my daughter, MONSTER!" Said one of the men.
While all this happened, two dark figures loomed over what was taking place below them.
"Don't you think we should help him?" asked one of the figures.
"no." said the other. "We need to see if he really is Minato's son."
"Yeah but…"
"We can't show sympathy, Victor. If he really is Minato's son, he should transform by mid night. What time is it?"
"11:58." The two figures smiled, revealing two mouths filled with razor sharp fangs.
Down below, things were going bad for the boy as the five men began beating him unmercifully. Two men kicked him while the other three punched him. The boy tried to scream, but the men had kicked him in the throat.
Finally, the men stopped attacking him. A man with spiked blond hair aimed his rifle at the boy who trembled with fear.
"Any last words, FREAK?!" said the man.
"Wh-why?" cried the boy.
"I don't need to tell a BEAST!" the man shouted, pulling the trigger. The sound of the gunshot echoed throughout Konoha. The boy slowly opened his eyes when he felt no pain. In front of him was a large fist covered in brown fur. The man with the rifle trembled with terror. Standing in front of him was a large beast covered in fur. The creature had a long snout like a wolf. Its legs looked like that of a dog but its arms were like humans, except for the claws.
"I'm afraid I can't let you do that." Said the creature.
Another beast landed gracefully next to the other. The new beast had black fur.
"Leena, I thought you said we couldn't help him." Said the black furred beast.
"Well, I changed my mind. Getting shot isn't fair Victor." Said Leena.
"Well, what do you suggest we do with these guys?" Victor said with a smile.
"Well, I'm pretty hungry."
The men started to back away and then ran as fast as they could. The men ran into something after running a few feet. It was Victor.
"Now that's not nice." Said Victor in an innocent voice. "Do you really want us to go hungry?"
"Wh-what the hell are you?!" asked the blond haired man.
"We're your executioners."
The men tried to scream, but it felt as if the air itself disappeared.
"Wh-who are you?" asked the boy in fear.
Leena turned to the boy and smiled sweetly, which scared the child even more. "Don't fear little one." She said. "We are friends of your father. And you will soon feel the greatness of the Lykans. And then you will have a new family that will love you and cherish your presence."
"r-really?" asked the child.
Leena nodded and smiled even more. "Yes child. The time has come. Scream your name to the heavens so they may give you our gift."
The boy didn't know what to think. For some reason, he felt comfortable around these creatures. They talked to him without calling him a 'demon' or 'monster'. They spoke to him so softly. It was like his instincts were telling him to comply. The boy stood up with shaking knees. He stared at the pearly white moon. It looked so beautiful up in the sky. He felt like he had to call to it just to make sure such beauty existed. "My name…" he began, his stomach felt queasy, but he couldn't stop. "Is Naruto Uzumaki!"
After his shout ended, Naruto felt relieved for some reason. Like a large amount of weight had been lifted off of his shoulders. But this happy feeling was soon replaced with a sharp pain in his stomach. Naruto fell to his knees, holding his stomach in pain.
"Uh oh, Victor, he's turning!" said Leena. "Help me out!"
"Coming!" shouted Victor after pinning the last man to the wall with a kunai.
Victor and Leena gathered around Naruto as his body began cracking and changing. Naruto held his hand up to his face. Up close he could see tiny blond hairs sprout from his finger tips and his nails morphing to a point.
First, his jaw line cracked and stretched and bent. His ears grew hair in the tips and began crawling up his head. His muscles stretched and tore into larger muscles. His tail bone moved and cracked, tearing through his flesh, making blood trickle down his back. Naruto's shirt stretched and tore as his body began growing. Naruto's legs snapped in unnatural ways and bent and twisted, forming into dog legs. Each of his toe nails sharpened like his finger's only his toe nails bled and curled and blackened to form wolfish claws. His teeth grew in size and quantity into sharp fangs with tore his gums, making blood stream out his mouth and down his throat.
The pain stopped for a few seconds, which Naruto took to breathe more calmly.
"I-is the pain done?" Naruto said between whimpers.
"I'm afraid not, the last part is the worst." Said Leena.
Suddenly, Naruto's skin began to burn and itch, but scratching it only made it hurt more. As Naruto's snout finished moving, small hairs began to sprout. He screamed in pain as fur burst from his body and took shape.
Finally, the pain was over. All that was left was the leftover stinging from the ordeal.
"You did it, Naruto." Said Victor. "You're now a Werewolf."
"A… were…wolf?" said Naruto between strained breaths. Naruto tried to stand, but he fell to his knees from the small pain leftover.
"Try not to stand." Said Leena. "The first time is bad for all of us."
Naruto held his head. All this happened so fast, so soon. Naruto's eyes snapped open when his hands felt something long. When his eyes opened, he saw a long, golden snout, instead of his small nose. He looked at his hands. Instead of small and pinkish, Naruto's hands were larger and were covered with golden blond fur. He had fingers, but the remaining normality of them wasn't what he was concerned about. Replacing his short finger nails were long, black, sharp nail-like claws.
Naruto examined his body, paying no attention to how flexible his head was. Every part of his body had grown and sprouted fur. And then he saw his legs. Upon seeing them, Naruto froze stiff. His normal legs and feet, which were the most beloved part of his body, the part of his body that helped him escape countless attacks, were deformed and bent into a strange shape. They were like a dog's legs, except for the paws which were stretched a little longer.
"Wh-what am I?" Naruto asked in horror.
"Your beautiful, that's what you are, Naruto-San." Said Leena with a warming smile. "You should not be afraid of what you are, but embrace it, love it, live it. You look just like your father, you know that?"
"M-my father?" Naruto looked up at Leena with tears streaming down his furry face.
"Don't cry child, your father would be proud to see you now." Leena comforted him. "But to answer your question, your father was the forth Hokage, Minato Namizake."
"He was?" Naruto asked, hope in his eyes.
"You look so much like him."
"So... what do I do now?" asked Naruto.
"Now," started Victor. "You eat, and then you come with us."
"e-eat?"
Victor smiled an evil grin. He then walked over to the man with black hair and tore him from the wall, tearing his cloths. Victor held the man up in the air. "What's your name?" demanded Victor.
"R-Rento Daze." the man stuttered.
Victor dragged Rento to Naruto, who was still panting on the ground. Victor and Leena held Rento to the ground by his limbs; Leena put her back paw over his mouth.
"Alright," said Leena. "Dig in." Rento's eyes widened, as did Naruto's.
"I-I can't!" said Naruto.
"But Naruto, didn't he try to kill you?" asked Victor.
"Yeah but…"
"But nothing!" said Leena angrily. "You're a damn Lycan! Show some back bone damnit!"
Naruto flinched at Leena.
"Look, the full moons out, I'm hungry, I'm tired, and were both going to be sore in the morning from taking a special medicine. So, I'm asking you kindly, eat this prick so we can go."
"b-but."
"Naruto." Called Victor. "Just follow your instincts. Let them guide you, please?"
Naruto closed his eyes to think. What was he to do? This wasn't the first time Rento had come after him. Now he had a chance to get back at him for all those beatings and chases. Naruto's mouth opened slowly. He crawled to the side of Rento. Rento looked at Naruto with pleading eyes.
Naruto leaned in towards Rento's stomach. Rento screamed to the top of his lungs, but made only a raspy muffled sound. Naruto was an inch away from the skin. 'I have to make a choice. Know everything about myself, or know nothing.'
Naruto bit down into Rento's flesh. Rento squirmed and screamed but could not move. As a drop of blood touched Naruto's tong, he realized something. It tastes… good. Sweet with a hint of saltiness. More blood streamed down his throat, giving him a small jolt of energy from the sensation.
Naruto then tore into Rento's flesh, chewing on the skin like gum. The flesh tasted like regular meat, under cooked, but it seemed to taste better that way. Naruto was now on top of Rento, tearing into his flesh with his claws and fangs. The taste, it was like ecstasy.
Naruto tore his way into Rento's chest, revealing his still beating heart. Rento looked down with horror before blood loss took his toll on him. Rento's eyes rolled back, his eye lashes twitched. Rento, the man responsible for so much of Naruto's pain, was dead.
Naruto placed his fur covered hand on Rento's twitching heart and ripped it out. Blood spattered over his golden fur. Naruto held the heart up to the moon, blood trickling down his arm, as if to thank it for what he did. Naruto then devoured the heart and howled to the moon.
Three hours later Naruto stood over the body's of the men that, only a few hours ago, he was afraid of. Now the tables were turned. They feared him. But, why'd he feel so bad?
He had just taken not just one life, but five. Naruto began to whimper.
Leena knelt down to Naruto's height, holding a white handkerchief. She wiped most of the blood off of his muzzle, and the tears off his face.
Naruto looked at her. For once, he had people to trust.
"There there child, I know what you're going through." She said in a comforting voice. "It's hard, killing. The blood, the flesh, it's hard on the mind. But we're Lycans, we stick together. Now come on, we have to talk to the Hokage."
"w-why?" asked Naruto through his tears.
"You'll be coming with us. We have to train you."
"R-really?"
"Of course." Victor said with a smile.
The three Werewolves walked to the Hokage's building quietly.
"So," said Sarutobi. "You decided to come now?"
"Yes, Sarutobi-Sensei." Said Leena bowing with Victor.
"Naruto?"
Naruto looked up at the Hokage.
"I wish you didn't kill those men, they may have hurt you, but that did not give you the right to kill them. They have families."
"I know…" Naruto mumbled.
"We will be taking him then?" asked Victor.
"Yes, and remember to bring him back to become a Genin." Said Sarutobi.
"Of course."
"Then Naruto, I give you my leave." Said Sarutobi. "Train hard and strengthen yourself."
"I will. Hokage-Sama."
Six years later
It was 3:45 AM in Konoha when three figures walked towards the gate. Two looked like regular Chunin. The male on the right had black hair and dark brown eyes with regular Chunin cloths. The female in the middle had brown hair and blue eyes with regular Chunin cloths. The male on the right was shorter than the other two. He had spiked, prickly blond hair. He was wearing a black T-shirt and dark blue jeans. On his neck was a studded, black leather collar. And on both wrists, he had studded bracelets.
The three walked up to the gate, stopping at the guard.
"What business do you have with Konoha?" the guard asked.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki," said the male with the blond hair. "The Hokage-Sama requested that I come to Konoha."
The guard looked at the clipboard he held, looking for a name.
"Ok, you're here but, what about them?" the guard said pointing at the other Chunin.
"My name is Leena Covoca." Said the female.
"And my name is Victor Stalof." Said the other male.
"Ok, go on through."
"Stupid meat." Mumbled Naruto.
"Huh?" said the guard.
"Have a nice day…meat." Said Naruto.
Naruto and his guardians walked through, ignoring any people up at this time. They entered the Hokage's office in less than five minutes.
"I thought you'd be here." Said the Hokage.
"Hokage-Sama!" said the three bowing.
"How has Naruto's training been going?"
"Very well, Hokage-Sama." Said Leena. "He is a Werewolf among Werewolves. We've taught him all we could; it's now up to him."
"Good. Naruto?" said the Hokage. Naruto cocked his head towards Sarutobi. "The Genin exam will be at seven. Why don't you see your old apartment?"
"Sure." Replied Naruto.
"And what are your plans?"
"He has to find people to join his pack." Said Victor.
"Oh?"
"Yes, Naruto must find people he can trust to join him."
"Why should I trust meat?" asked Naruto.
The Hokage frowned. "I wish you wouldn't call them that." He said. "You'd be surprised at how far people will go for a comrade." Naruto remained quiet. "Well then, you should prepare for your exam."
"Yes Hokage-Sama." Naruto bowed with Leena and Victor before leaving. When they got to Naruto's apartment, Leena and Victor pulled out two long boxes.
"What's this?" asked Naruto.
"We decided to give you two presents before leaving." Replied Leena.
Naruto took both gifts in hand and opened them. Inside were two sheathed Katana. One had a jaded blade; the other had a smooth one.
"They were your father's." said Leena. "They've been passed down for many generations of Werewolves. Your father gave this to us to give to you some day."
"Thanks." Said Naruto. "This means a lot to me. It really does."
"Well, we have to go." Said Victor. "We have business to attend to and such. Now be careful of the meat, alright?"
"Yes Sensei."
Before they left, Leena knelt down and hugged Naruto.
"Were gonna miss you." She said. And with that, they disappeared.
Naruto turned to his apartment and walked towards the doors. His apartment was pretty small. One room, one bathroom and a small kitchen. It was very dusty, but he had time.
After cleaning his house, Naruto looked at the clock he had in his room but it was broken. He left his apartment to go to the Genin exam.
When he entered the classroom, Naruto saw the farthest only seat available was one next to a boy with black messy hair, a dark blue T-shirt with an oversized neck, and a bored expression on his face. A crowd of girls were fighting over who would get to sit with him.
Naruto walked with his hands in his pockets, taking the empty seat. All of the women were furious with him.
"Hey!" yelled a pink haired Kunoichi. "You can't just sit next to Sasuke-Kun!" Naruto paid no attention to the girl. "Hey! Are you even listening to me!? Hey, hey!" the girl snapped her fingers in front of Naruto.
Naruto grabbed the girl's wrist, tightly squeezing it, and glared at her. The girl tried to pull her arm out of his grasp, but Naruto just tightened his grip. "Don't snap your fingers at me like I'm your dog, meat." He said angrily. Naruto released the girl's wrist. The girl pulled her hand back and held it. All the girls then walked away, the pink haired one stood in shock.
Sasuke moved his eyes slightly, staring at Naruto. "You're not from here." He deduced. Naruto ignored the Sasuke. "I see you didn't pack any weapons."
"'Sniff sniff' and you brought two shuriken, one exploding tag, four Kunai, and a smoke bomb." Naruto said turning to the front. "Just what did you think was going to happen?" Sasuke was surprised, but did not show it.
"Who are you?" asked Sasuke.
Naruto ignored him again; staring at the teacher that walked in. the man wore a Chunin vest and had a scar across his nose. "Alright everyone," he began. "My name is Umino Iruka. I say this because we have a new student with us today to take the exam." Iruka stared at Naruto. "Would you like to introduce yourself?" Naruto remained quiet. "Ok then, the exam is split in three parts. The first part is Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu. So, everyone line up."
All the ninja formed a line in front of Iruka. Naruto didn't pay attention to the performances as they were all too weak. Finally, it was his turn. Naruto walked up to Iruka with a bored look on his face.
"Ok Naruto," said Iruka. "For Ninjutsu, I want you to perform a Bunshin no Jutsu."
Naruto lazily made the appropriate hand signs and made two Bunshin clones.
"Ok, good." Iruka said, while writing down something on his clipboard. "Now show me you're Taijutsu. Try hitting that practice dummy." Iruka pointed to a padded dummy.
Naruto walked up to the dummy and delivered a few basic punches and kicks.
"Good, now show me you're Genjutsu." Said Iruka
"I'm not allowed to perform Genjutsu." Said Naruto.
"Just try a small one."
"If I do, you'll most likely commit suicide." The class, and Iruka, stared at Naruto with confusion.
"Why would I do that?" Iruka asked. Naruto just stared at him blankly.
"Ok, I'll have to fail you on the Genjutsu if you don't want to participate."
"Whatever…" said Naruto walking to his seat. The class did the same.
"Ok," started Iruka. "It looks like all of you have passed. So now all you need is your forehead protector and to be split up in three man teams." Iruka handed each student a head band. "Now… team one will consist of…" Naruto stopped paying attention when he picked up a strange smell.
It was the smell of blood. The smell almost made his mouth water. He then noticed his claws forming and quickly tucked his hands in his pockets. Sasuke noticed this action and stared at Naruto in confusion.
"Team seven will consist of… Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha,"
'Yes!' thought Inner Sakura. 'Sasuke-Kun's all mine!'
"And Naruto Uzumaki."
Sakura gulped. If she hadn't been mistaken, she was assigned with Sasuke, the boy of her dreams, and Naruto, the Ninja who had recently hurt her.
"Ok, were going to take a one and a half hour break to decide your Jonin leaders." Iruka announced.
Naruto bolted out the door, his clawed hands still in his pockets, and headed towards the smell. Naruto came upon a large, metal door. After pushing through it Naruto saw something he didn't expect. A tall, white haired Chunin was standing over a dead Chunin, holding a bloody Kunai.
The Chunin snapped his towards Naruto. He made a mad dash towards Naruto aiming his bloody Kunai.
"I don't know what he did to get killed, but it looks like I'll just have to defend myself!" Naruto said with a smile. Naruto merely sidestepped to the right, dodging the Chunin's attack. The Chunin turned around and made another attempt to stab Naruto.
Naruto jumped over the Chunin when he was close enough, and used his back as a stepping stone to jump in the direction of the door. Naruto grabbed the door handle and slammed the door shut.
"I was wondering when I was going to get my next meal." Naruto said, taking off his shirt.
"Next meal?" said the Chunin. Naruto grinned, but something was different about his teeth. They were fangs.
"This room is sound proof, I can tell. Where else would you kill someone in the morning?"
The Chunin was scared stiff. Not from Naruto's deduction, but from the changes Naruto seemed to be going under.
Naruto's bones cracked and bent, but Naruto did not mind. He looked like it was natural and non painful. As Naruto's body cracked one last time, fur burst out from his body. Naruto's pants seemed to fit fine, despite the growth in his size.
Naruto let out a stern growl and leapt at the Chunin. The Chunin screamed, but was cut off by a pair of claws tearing at his throat.
Two hours later
Naruto exited the room, clean, licking his teeth. "Hope they find the letter I left explaining this mess." He mumbled.
When Naruto came upon the classroom door, he heard the voices of his new teammates.
"Where is he?" Sakura complained. "He was supposed to be here a half hour ago!"
"Stop complaining, you're giving me a head ach." Said Sasuke.
"S-sorry Sasuke-Kun."
Naruto opened the door and walked in casually. Sakura and Sasuke were the only ones there, which means their leader was late. Sakura looked at Naruto angrily.
"Your late." she said annoyed. Naruto ignored her and sat at the nearest seat. Sasuke looked at Naruto puzzled.
"You smell like blood." He stated blandly. Naruto looked at Sasuke with a grin.
"No one's impressed, even a weakling like Haruno-meat would be able to smell it." Naruto said. Sasuke looked away to the door when it opened up. In came a tall Jonin with silver hair, a mask covering everything under eyes, and a headband slanted to cover his left eye.
"Ah, you must be team seven." Said the Jonin. "I'm Kakashi, your new leader. I'll meet you all on the roof, so don't be late." The group looked at him angrily, since he was late.
On the roof, the team sat on a pair of stairs while Kakashi leaned against the guard rail. "So," he began. "Let's introduce ourselves. Tell me your name, likes, dislikes and your dreams. How about you?" Kakashi looked at Sakura.
"I'm Sakura Haruno." She began. "What I like, uhh… I mean the person I like is…" Sakura looked at Sasuke and giggled. "Uhh, my hobby is… my dream for the future is…" she dug her head in her hands.
"And, what do you hate?" asked Kakashi.
Sakura looked at Naruto. He wasn't even paying attention to her. "Naruto!" she said, pointing at Naruto.
"Are you sure you want to be putting your hand anywhere near me?" Naruto asked maliciously. "You remember what happened last time, right?" Sakura snapped her hand back to her chest in fear.
"And you?" Kakashi looked at Sasuke.
"My name…" he began. "Is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things, and I don't particularly like anything." Sakura looked at him with a puzzled look. "What I have is not a dream, because I will make it a reality. I'm going to restore my clan. And destroy… a certain someone."
Everything was silent. 'Just as I thought' Kakashi thought.
"You're pathetic." Said Naruto. Everyone turned to him. "you're working so hard to pull off this 'tuff guy' act, when deep down, your just a scared little human."
Sasuke looked at Naruto with anger. How dare he say such things to him?
"Ah, I almost forgot," Kakashi got the groups attention. "Your next."
Naruto laid back on the steps in what looked like an uncomfortable position. "My name's Naruto Uzumaki. I like meat. I hate vegetables and my dream is to become a respectable Shinobi."
"Very good," said Kakashi. "But, why don't you tell us the truth?"
Naruto grinned, staring at the sun. "Why whatever could you mean?" he asked in an obviously fake innocent tone.
"You know what I mean." Kakashi said.
"Oh, do I have to?" Naruto said in the same tone. Kakashi stared at him blankly. "ok." Naruto said getting up. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I like the taste of flesh and blood, but the taste of a heart is better. I hate humans, their only good for food. And my dream is to recreate my clan. Happy, meat?" Naruto stared at Kakashi who stared back. Sasuke and Sakura looked at Naruto completely confused. What he had said was the strangest thing they ever heard.
"And?" Kakashi said.
"Oh yeah, I'm a Werewolf." Naruto said. Sasuke and Sakura were now in complete confusion. "Well, it looks like the humans can't believe what I'm saying. So typical of meat to do such things."
"If you're a Werewolf," Sasuke said. "Then that means you transform under the full moon."
"Pft!" Naruto looked at Sasuke. "Stupid meat. A Werewolf can transform whenever they like."
"Then prove it." Sasuke said. "Transform."
Naruto growled. "I'm not your dog; I'll do it when necessary."
"Oh, Naruto?" Kakashi called. Naruto turned to him. "Would you mind getting rid of Mizuki's fingers? Their letting off an awful stench." Naruto grinned again. He reached into his pant pocket and pulled out a large ball of cotton.
"Mizuki?" said Sakura. "You mean our teacher?"
"No." Naruto said while pulling the cotton apart. "Mizuki your deceased teacher." Sakura's eyes widened. Sasuke only flinched.
"w-what?" asked Sakura.
"He attacked me, so I killed him." Naruto said nonchalantly.
"Yeah right." Sasuke said. "Mizuki's a Chunin, you're a new Genin. There's no way you could kill him."
Naruto finished removing the cotton to reveal a severed finger with a ring on it. The same ring the students would see Mizuki wearing. Sakura and Sasuke's eyes widened even more. "He was weak." Naruto said. Naruto held the finger up to the sun to observe it. He then pushed it in his mouth and began eating it. Sakura felt as if she was going to throw up, but didn't since she did not wish to look weak in front of Sasuke.
Naruto swallowed the last piece and looked at everyone. "Well, I hope that's enough proof for you." He said. "Because if it's not, I have three more fingers to eat."
"I don't think that'll be necessary." Kakashi said. "Anyways, I want you all to meet me at training ground seven tomorrow at five AM. Oh and don't eat breakfast, you'll just puke." With that, Kakashi disappeared.
Naruto turned to the other two. "Is something wrong?" he asked.
"Your… you r-really are a… Werewolf." Said Sakura.
Naruto did not answer because he could smell cooking meat. Naruto then disappeared without a sound.
