Konoha Gakuen: Youkoden
(An AU of Shippu! Konoha Gakuen Den with slight Xover of elements from Rosario + Vampire)
Chapter 1: Enter Uzumaki Naruto: Youko
Konoha Gakuen.....
At first look, it seems like every any academy found throughout the Fire Country. And despite it's reputation for excellence, it is also known for being a low key institution and shunned attention of any kind.
Now many people may say that the Academy's social policy is typical of the many private educational institutions of it's kind, but there is an extremely important, underlying reason for this.
All of the Academy staffs and students are not humans.
Yes. What would seem like a perfectly normal school is actually an academy of youkai who live amongst the general populace disguised as normal human teenagers and are taught by instructors who are also disguised youkais themselves.
But now, the school's relatively peaceful and orderly existance is about to be shattered by the the arraival of a brand new student.
...................................................................................................
"So this is Konoha Gakuen eh? Still looks like a school of pansies to me." A figure said as he steps up to the closed gate of the academy.
The figure is blondehaired teenager with piercing blue eyes, whisker-like markings on his face, wore a headband with a swirl on his forehead and a long, black coat which had "Boss Fox" written in kanji on the back over his academy issued summer uniform. He also wore a pair of wooden getas instead of shoes and carried a bokuto (wooden sword) in his hand.
Almost nonchalantly, the blonde teenager violently kicks the academy gates wide open and walks through as if he owned the school. Startled by his rather scandalous entry, the students stops whatever they were doing and stares at the troublemaker while whispering amongst themselves.
The blonde grins to himself and basks at the attention he was getting.. This was exactly how he wanted to introduce himself to the school and this was exactly the kind of reaction he expected. The blonde takes a deep breath and shouts out.
"Listen up!!! My name is Uzumaki Naruto and wether anybody likes it or not, I'm taking over this place. If anybody has a problem with that, then they can take it up with my sword!!" He declared holding out his bokuto. His bold outburst had the desired results, shocking the academy's general populace and scaring some of them as well.
Unfortunately (or fortunately, whichever the case may be) it also left him open for scrutiny by a number of individuals.
A brooding, dark haired teenager sitting by himself on the rooftop coldly studies the enigma named Naruto and was wondering if the kid was either very brave, very stupid or even both.
A pink haired female student wearing what seemed to be a pendant with a cross shakes her head disapprovingly at the new student's antics while her blonde friend simply crosses her arms over her relatively well endowed assets and glares at the young man.
A young man with a topknot relaxing under a tree cracks an eye open and gives Naruto a calculating look before closing his eyes again, muttering something along the lines of "Troublesome". Besides him, his rather chubby friend stops eating his chips for a moment to give Naruto a look before shrugging his shoulders dismissively and goes back eating his chips.
A shaggy haired, feral looking student with triangle shaped tattoos on his cheeks and sitting on a tree branch gives Naruto a predatory grin, thinking how interesting this school year was turning out to be. Standing just behind the tree which the shaggy haired teenager sat on was a student wearing dark, circular sunglasses who regarded the new student impassively.
Standing just at the edge of a nearby soccer field was another student with a bowl shaped haircut, thick brows and beady eyes who was watching Naruto with a small frown on his face.
From his vantage point on a second floor window, a longhaired, pale eyed young man wearing an armband identifying him as the school's student council president looks on in disdain while his brown haired female companion who wore her hair in a pair of buns simply sighs at the newcomer's idiocy.
Last but not the least was another longhaired pale-eyed individual, this one a female who stares longingly at the blonde called Naruto from behind a wall with a growing blush in her pretty face.
"Is there anybody here brave enough to challenge me?" Naruto calls out, looking around at the student body who was giving him a wide berth. "Anybody at all? Didn't think so. Now then...."
"Hey you!!" A voice calls out. Naruto turns towards the source of the voice and sees a pink haired female student wearing what seemed to be a silver rosary around her neck and a platinum blonde haired bombshell.
"Now there's a couple of real lookers. I wonder if they have any boyfriends?" Naruto mused appreciatively as he watches the pair walk towards him. "Well now.... Is there anything I can do for you ladies this fine morning?" He greeted with a foxy grin.
The platinum blonde raises a delicate eyebrow at his boldness and appraises the teenager in front of her from head to toe. He wasn't bad looking at all with those hypnotic blue eyes and whisker-like marks on his face. And while he wasn't really that studly, he looked pretty fit and had an appealing, feral air about him as well as a bold, assertive personality which were Ideal qualities for a life mate.
The pink haired student wasn't as impressed as her friend. To her, Uzumaki Naruto was just another boneheaded troublemaker who does nothing but make her job as a disciplinary monitor harder then it has to be and she didn't appreciate that.
"You can start by telling me what the hell do you think you're doing making such a scene out here." The pink haired student stated crossly.
"Yeah." The platinum blonde hottie seconded though she now looked more amused then angry. "It's not a very good idea to cause a ruckus in this school."
"Before I answer that, can I have your names? It's kinda hard to talk to people who knows my name and yet I don't know a thing about them." Naruto stated then adds cheekily with a foxy grin. "Unless of course you want ME to call you Pinky Chan and Bombshell Chan. Either way works fine with me."
The pink haired student develops a tick mark on her forehead and clenches her fist tightly but manages to calm herself.
The platinum blonde however laughs airily at this and smiles at Naruto.
"Heeheehee.... You've got guts Uzumaki Naruto. I like that and I think we'll get along just fine." She said as she crosses her arms in front of her. "My name's Yamanaka Ino. Nice to meet 'ya"
Naruto then pointedly looks at Sakura who sighs and answers reluctantly. "Haruno Sakura. A disciplinary monitor of Konoha Gakuen. Now will you answer my question?"
"I guess I could." Naruto stated. "I was just introducing myself to everyone in this school and stating what my intentions were."
"That seems like a pretty lofty goal Uzumaki San." Ino commented. "I hope you're not full of it fully prepared to back up that."
"I always back my words up." Naruto said confidently. "Anybody and EVERYBODY are more then welcome to challenge that."
"And kicking the gates open like that served what purpose?" Sakura demanded.
"I had to make a point somehow." Naruto said with a shrug. "That seemed to be the best way to do it. Besides, I don't think it matters coz I'm not even a student of this school yet so your rules don't really apply to me."
But before Sakura could retort, another voice cuts in. "Correction Naruto Kun, you're not registered as a student of this school YET. But you will be one very soon."
All three looks up and sees that the window to the headmaster's office was open and a kind looking old man wearing a simple kimono smiling down at them while smoking a pipe.
Naruto's grin becomes even wider at seeing the old man. "Hey Saru Jiisan!!! Long time no see!!!" He calls out before he was interrupted by Sakura.
"How dare you treat our headmaster with such disrespect!" Sakura screams at the blonde. Ino simply takes a big step back to avoid any possible repurcussion to Naruto's rather rude attitude towards their headmaster. But the headmaster simply chuckles at this.
"Hohoho.... It's quite alright Haruno San. Me and Naruto Kun go back a long way." The headmaster said then looks at Ino. "Yamanaka San, will you please show Naruto Kun up to my office please."
"Of course Headmaster." Ino said cheerfully. A little TOO cheerfully in Sakura's opinion. The busty blonde had that look on her face again which usually meant trouble for the person she took an interest in.
Sakura also had to admit that there IS something about Naruto which intrigued her but she couldn't tell exactly what it was.
Ino looks back towards Naruto with a mischievous little smile. "Well you heard the man Naruto Kun. Let's go and keep your eyes on lil' ol' me so you won't get lost, ok?"
"I guess I can do that." Naruto answered with a foxy grin, staring appreciatively at Ino's swaying hips as she walks off for a moment before following her. Sakura simply rolls her eyes at her friend's antics and mutters to herself. "What a flirt...."
(In the Headmaster's office)
Hiruzen Sarutobi calmly refills his pipe as he waits for Naruto in his office. The boy has always been such a handful for anyone even as a young child. But what can you expect, considering who his parents were?
His father Uzumaki Arashi had been the Headmaster of this institution, untill fifteen years back when he suddenly resigned from the position and went back to the Demon World without telling anybody, forcing the then retired Sarutobi to take the Headmaster position once again.
It was not untill Six years ago when he discovered the real reason behind Arashi's resignation and that was because he got married and had to take over the throne to his his kingdom. Sarutobi got to meet the then small but incredibly feisty Naruto for the first time who even then, was a natural prankster and troublemaker just like his father.
Since then, Sarutobi kept in touch with Arashi and his family on a regular basis and followed Naruto's exploits whom he treated like his own grandson. In his last letter, Arashi had requested that his son enter Konoha Academy since the normal human school environment seemed unable to cope with Naruto's deviant nature. Though he had to admit that some of the things he managed to pull off were very amusing.
It was also rather fortunate given the recent problems his school has been experiencing. Problems which he believes that someone of Naruto's unique talents would be able to help him with.
*Knock*Knock*
"Come in." Sarutobi calls out. Opening the door, Ino steps to the side and lets Naruto enter the room.
"Thanks for showing me the way Ino San." Naruto said with a small grin. "I appreciate your help."
"It's no problem at all." Ino answered with a grin of her own. "Despite your attitude, you seem like a decent enough guy. I guess I'll be seein' you around then?"
"You better believe it." Naruto answers, his grin growing wider. Ino grin matches his as she closes the door to the office. Naruto stares at the doorway where Ino had been a few moments earlier before a polite cough gets his attention. Naruto turns and sees Sarutobi giving him a knowing smile.
"I see you're making friends already, Naruto Kun." Sarutobi comments as he stands up and embraces Naruto heartily then pulls back to study the young man in front of him. "You've grown up Naruto Kun but you're still the same juvenile brat I met years ago."
"Aww c'mon Saru Jiji, I DO try to stay away from trouble but the thing is trouble can't stay away from ME." Naruto stated.
"Oh really? Then I supposed that spraypainting scenes from the Kama Sutra on the wall of your last school or pouring quick-drying cement on the pool of the school before that qualifies as staying out of trouble?" Sarutobi asks in amusement.
Naruto said nothing and instead scratches the back of his head in embarrassment.
"In any case Naruto....." Sarutobi continued, his expression suddenly turning serious. "....As happy as I am to see you again and enroll in my school, I'm afraid that I have to ask for your assistance for a little problem I've been having."
Naruto's face also turns serious at this. "I've seen what's been happening in the news Jiji. I 've also heard a couple of rumors through the grapevine. I'll be happy to help you in any way I can. What do you want me to do?"
Sarutobi smiles at this and starts to speak.
(Hours later.... In the woods outside the academy)
Umino Iruka breaths hard as he cautiously looks from behind a tree he was hiding behind. He looked battered and bruised and sported a number of bruises and cuts which included a large gash on his side.
Only an hour before, the headmaster had assigned him and Mizuki to track down an incoming student who had stolen important documents from his office. Documents which included lists of the names and locations of monsters in the human world Of course, it only made sense that he'd be teamed with Mizuki since he was a long time colleague and the headmaster knew that he and the white-haired teacher worked well together.
He never expected Mizuki to transform into his monstrous weretiger form and savagely attack him in the middle of their mission, claiming that he will find the list himself, kill the boy who stole it and sell the list to the highest bidder. Iruka himself had to revert back to his original form of a humanoid dolphin to fight off Mizuki but he proved to be too powerful for him.
"Come out come out wherever you are Iruka." Mizuki singsonged in a mocking voice. "You know you're only delaying the inevitable so why fight it?"
Iruka winces as the ugly gash on his side throbbed painfully. Iruka knew Mizuki was right. With his injuries, he wouldn't be able to get far before the traitorous educator caught up with him. And even with a nearby water source to speed up the healing and help recover some of his strength, he still couldn't match up against him.
So preocccupied was Iruka with his thoughts that he failed to notice a shadow looming over him. "I found you Iruka." Iruka looks up at his ex colleague. The silver haired man now looked like a giant, humanoid tiger with stripes all over it's furry body."
"Why would you do this Mizuki?" Iruka asks, hoping to stall for time untill he could think of a plan or till help arrives. "Why would you turn against your own kind?"
"My own kind...." Mizuki repeated with a chuckle. "I never was one of you in the first place Iruka. As a matter of fact, I can't stand your kind."
"What are you saying? You're also a youkai like us!!" Iruka stated in confusion.
"Hehehehe!! That's where you're wrong." Mizuki said with a dark chuckle. "While I'll admit that this monstrous form has it's.... Uses.... It is just a temporary transformation. I am originally a human and I was sent here to destroy all of your kind."
"What?!?" Iruka exclaimed in shock. "Then how did you manage to get yourself hired to this school? Our background checks are extremely thorough!"
Mizuki chuckles darkly again and answers. "Since you won't live long enough to rat on me, I'll tell you how. Orochimaru sent me here and with his help, I'll wipe out your kind from the face of this world."
Iruka's eyes widens at Mizuki's revelation. Orochimaru was one of the Headmaster's legendary students along with Jiraiya and Tsunade who had vanished years ago and is considered a wanted felon for many violations and crimes against both humans and youkais alike.
"So is that what this whole thing is all about? A vendetta against youkais?" Another voice cuts in. Both Mizuki and Iruka looks up and see Naruto seated on one of the branches. In his right hand, he held a leather briefcase with a cheeky smile. "Yo! Looking for this guys?"
"You!" Mizuki snarled. "Give me that briefcase you brat and I'll let you live!!"
"No! Don't give it to him!" Iruka shouted. "If you give that to him, he'll cause a lot of pain and grief for us!!"
"Relax.... Iruka San was it?" Naruto stated. "After what I heard him say here, getting these papers are the least of his worries."
"And why is that brat?" Mizuki asks with a sneer.
Naruto gives Mizuki a vicious grin and answers. "Because the thing that you SHOULD be worried about..... Is ME!!" Quick as a flash, Naruto leaps from the branch and attacks Mizuki with his bokuto. Surprised by the somewhat reckless move by, Mizuki found himself on the defensive against the blonde's relentless attack. He was also surprised by how fast and how hard the brat could hit which was made more apparent when the bokuto cracked painfully against his cranium.
"Dammit!!!" Mizuki roared as he took a swipe at Naruto who nimbly jumps out of the way. He gives his tormentor a hate-filled glare before muttering. "No more playing around kid...." A mark appears in Mizuki's chest and spreads all over his body. In front of both Naruto and Iruka, the weretiger that is Mizuki starts to transform again, becoming bigger and even more mutated. The transformation stops and in the Mizuki weretiger's place stood a large humanoid Chimera with the head, hand/claws and muscular body of a lion, the horns and feet/hooves of a goat and a hissing snake for a tail.
"BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! This is my true power!! And with it, you youkais are done for!!!" Mizuki proclaimed.
Naruto said nothing as his eyes narrows dangerously. He charges again and attacks Mizuki with his bokuto. But his new form proves to be much stronger then his weretiger form as splinters the wooden sword and sends Naruto through the trees with a swipe of his large hands. Iruka could do nothing but watch on helplessly.
"Stop it Mizuki!!!" Iruka shouted as he struggled to get back to his feet. "You'll kill him!!"
"That's the idea!!!" Mizuki laughed as he charged towards Naruto who was getting back to his feet. He also noticed that the blonde had also transformed though it seemed to be limited to a pair of fox ears and a tail.
"So you're a hanyou eh? What makes you think you're even a match for me in this form? You'll pay for what you did to me. Now die!!!" He sneered as he strikes out with his claws. Much to Mizuki's shock, Naruto effortlessly blocks his lethal attack with one hand and looks up with a vulpine smile in his still transforming features.
"You ain't seen nothing yet buddy." Naruto said as fierce, hurricane force winds whips around him, throwing off Mizuki like a rag doll and forcing Iruka to cover himself. The violent winds subside revealing a gold furred humanoid fox with tattoo like markings all over it's body, had nine tails swishing back and forth behind him and wore Naruto's clothes. The aura Mizuki felt from the fox-like humanoid was so powerful that he found it rather difficult to breath.
Then faster then the eye could see, the fox disappears and reappears in front of Mizuki and sends him flying through several trees with a brutally powerful right cross. A battered Mizuki slowly gets back to his feet and glares at Naruto.
"That terrifying battle aura and form.... Who the hell are you brat?" Mizuki asks fearfully.
"Oh silly me. Maybe I should've introduced myself before i started kicking your sorry butt. My name is Uzumaki Naruto." He answers with a mock bow. He then looks up to Mizuki with an alarmingly wide smile which promised much pain and anguish. "Youko and the next Kyubi No Kitsune."
Author's Notes: Alright guys, here you go. A brand new story for everyone to read and enjoy. Btw, I've already pretty much figured out the monster forms of the Naruto characters, but I still want your input on the matter especially for Tsunade, Neji, Rock Lee and Kankuro. In any case, R&R please.
