Thar'n-Da S' Yin'tekai
Summary: One day while being beaten by a particularly vicious mob in a dead end ally, Naruto is saved by the most unlikely of saviors. Naruto will become the first male Ooman hunter.
Chapter 1: Pyode Amedha (Another Yautjan word/phrase for Humans)
(A/N: This s may vary first Naruto/Predator xover. I'm making this mainly because I want to make Naruto the biggest badass possible! And nothing is more badass than a Yautja! Title translates to "Strength and Honor" and if you've read any of my fics ya know this'll be NaruHina. Also takes place 5,000 years after the AVP 2010 videogame also known as AVP3 andDark the Predator protagonist is now an Elder and this is the first time in 5,000 years that the Yautja have returned to Earth. Academy Student's graduate at age 14)
Speech legend:
"I'm human."
'I am a thinking human/Yautja.'
"I'm a demon."
'I'm a thinking demon'
"I'm a Yautja."
8 year old Naruto shook with fear as he shrunk into the brick wall as best he could. Just 30 feet away was a large mob of angry villagers, nearly 20 strong, all wielding random objects such as knives, kitchen appliances, broken chair legs and cheap crude weapons. Leading the mob were 7 shinobi. 4 chunin, 2 jounin and an ANBU with a snarling bear mask.
"Come here little Hell spawn. Let me play with yer insides!" The ANBU called out in a disturbed mock sing-song voice.
Naruto could only whimper as his fear numbed body refused to move, the mob doing there best to circle him as the ones that couldn't hung back a few feet, cheering the ANBU on.
Encouraged by the crowd, the ANBU sliced a deep gash into the boy's shoulder with a kunai, setting off the other bigots who beat the boy with their arsenal of crude and cruel weapons.
(Meanwhile)
5 figures watched from rooftops of Konoha with curiosity and disgust. Invisible to all thanks to their hyper advanced technology none could see but the most minute of shimmers, like heat rising from the earth.
All the figures were freakishly tall by human standards; all easily 7 feet 8 inches in height, but the two in the front were by far the tallest. One was 8 foot 5 while the other was 9 foot 3.
They were the Yautja, or Predators as the humans call them. A alien race of skilled, brutal hunters that traverse the galaxy looking for worthy quarry. Be they sentient or beast, they hunt for sport and honor.
The 8 footer turned to the 9 footer. His invisible head cocked to the side. "Elder Dark, why are they beating the young Ooman? It makes no sense."
Dark shook his head in disgust. "I do not know Sharpclaw." For unexplained reason the Ancients declared the hunting of Oomans forbidden until further notice. Many Yautja complained but the word of the Council of Ancients is law so they had no choice but to obey. Now 5,000 years later they have returned and were shocked before they even landed.
First of all nearly ALL land was submerged under a sea ranging from just a few hundred feet to 3 miles deep, leaving only one massive super continent the Oomans called the Elemental Continent.
And second the Ooman's technology has down graded dramatically by 500 years. While they still had electricity for lights television and hospital equipment everything else was like warren sates era Japan.
Dark cycled through the different vision types of his bio-mask before setting onto the Tech Vision, allowed him to see energy signatures and sources. Sharp claw doing the same.
They were in for their third big shock. Radiating from the Oomans was a...blue energy of some kind. It looked like fire being generated and distributed by what looked like a second circulatory system.
'What is that?'Dark and Sharpclaw thought. But then they saw the boy. The boy had far more than most of the other Ooman there except for the jounin and ANBU and mixed in with it were whips of fire red energy that licked as the wounds of the boy, healing him almost as quickly as they were inflicted. And located in the stomach area, the center of this second circulatory system where this energy was generated was a dense mass of fiery red.
"It seems that what ever power that boy possesses along with this blue energy is why the boy is being beaten." Sharpclaw said through gritting teeth.
Dark gave an angry growl as he stared at the site. "Disgraceful creatures they are a mockery of their own species, I may not know what this Red Fire is but I can tell it is not apart of the boy." He turned to Sharpclaw. "Save the youngling from these fools. Make trophies out of their skulls!"
All at once the Yautja hunters let out terrifying powerful roars that echoes throughout the village.
(In the Hokage Tower)
Hiruzen Sarutobi jumped at the roars that perforated the air of Konoha. He leaped out of his chair and looked out the window with a frightened look. "No. The Kyuubi couldn't have escaped."
With a moment to spare Sarutobi dashed out of his office.
(With the mob)
The ANBU, who was just about to finish Naruto off with a katana, jumped back as he and the rest of the mob searched for the source of the roars.
"What was tha-*splish!*" One of the chunin tried to say but was cut short as his head, spine and all, was pulled from his shoulders in a grotesque shower of bile and blood, the sounds of tearing flesh, breaking bones and popping cartilage making the civilians sick to their stomachs.
The civilians in the mob all scattered and ran for there worthless lives. Believing the demon took over the boy to kill them.
The shinobi how ever stood there ground. "So the Kyuubi has finally shown itself!" The mad ANBU screamed at the now unconscious Naruto. He raised his katana and charged at the limp form as his comrades were all eviscerated one by one.
"Die fox dem…!" *CLRENCHSHH!* The ANBU didn't get to finish as a something pierced his stomach. He looked down to see a large arm with his stomach. The sound of electricity invaded his hearing as light seemed to burn and ripple around a monstrous humanoid form. As more light "burned away" more of the behemoth was revealed until the 9 foot giant was in full view.
The creature made several gentle clicking sounds as it caressed the ANBU's mask curiously…before it gripped his spine from inside and pulled it through the hole in his stomach along with his head. (If you've played AVP 2010 you know what happened.)
The mask came off as it traveled through the man's innards revealing the face of the man, frozen in a scream of horror and agony.
Dark tossed the ANBU's body away as he clipped the head to his belt. He still wore his Lords bio mask, but he has replaced his jungle hunter armor with a new heavier set of armor made with the same design as his mask, Heavy plating on his upper chest and sides, thick shoulder plating with an ancient looking plasma caster on his left shoulder. Thongs (leather belts not underwear) with the heads of small animals tied to his waist with a necklace of large fangs around his neck and arms, and a long heavy cape on his back.
Dark kneeled next to the blond Jinchuuriki cycling through his Tech, Heat and X-ray visions in search for any serious injury before picking up the poor child.
Naruto looked small in Dark's arms, any child would, but because of malnutrition Naruto was small for his age, making him look like an infant.
Sharpclaw approached his Elder. Bio mask designed to resemble a snarling reptile and decorated with scars. His lightly armored body also riddled with scars and animal skulls. "What will we do with the youngling Elder?" He asked respectfully.
While impossible to tell with the mask on, Dark had the closes thing to a contemplative look on his face as a Yautja can get. After a moment Dark turned to Sharpclaw. "We will take him with us. We will train him and make him one of us and when the time comes. He will return and make trophies out of his enemies."
Sharpclaw nodded and began typing in his wrist computer, calling the mother ship to pick them up.
"Stop right there!" A voice called out and all the Hunters turned to meet the gaze of an old Ooman in white and red robes joined by a squad of more masked Ooman.
Sarutobi didn't know what to make of these intruders. Large almost hulking things in some kind of tribal sci-fi armor.
"I don't know what or who you are but I'll be damned if you think I'll let you just take Naruto away!"
Dark titled his head to the side in curiosity. 'It seems this Ooman hold this boy in high regard.' Never the less the old man would have no say in the matter as the giant spear-like ship of the Yautja suddenly decloaked sending bright lights in every direction and nearly blinding the shinobi and the kage.
One beam of light landed on the Hunters and in an instant they were gone followed quickly by the ship as it headed for orbit.
None noticed the small lavender eyed midnight blue haired girl crying behind the corner of a building as she watched her crush getting whisked away by the frightening creatures.
(A few hours later on the Nrak'ytara (Guardian: the ships name))
Inside the medical station of the Nrak'ytara was Naruto, still unconscious and resting on an examination table. The ships closes thing to a doctor, examined Naruto's Chakra Coils, though he did not know what they were, with various x-ray devices. Intrigued by the strange energy this and apparently all Ooman are now capable of generating. He was also curious of the red wisps of energy that was drifting from the center of the network.
It seemed to be coming from an outside source that was, for lack of a better term, imprisoned within the child. While it seemed to fortify and quickly regenerate the child it leeched of his life force as it did, months of life could be lost if he were to regenerate from say…a fist sized hole in his chest.
"How is the youngling, Little Sword?" Dark asked as he entered the medical bay.
The Yautja now identified as Little Sword typed in a few commands into the computer. "Right now he's fine. Healthy and no long term damnage."
Dark nodded. "And that strange energy?"
"Ah, I was just about to get to that." Little Sword said with a tinge of excitement in his voice. "It seems that the Ooman have evolved the ability to create a natural manipulative energy. In theory they can control and create any of the 5 primal elements and mix them."
Dark eyes widened behind his mask in both surprise and excitement. One of their most favorite prey as become even more formidable, maybe even more formidable than the Serpents.
"But…" Little Sword continued. "It seems this youngling has another power sealed within him. Similar to the other but far, FAR more potent to the point where it is as corrosive as Serpent blood, the only reason this boy hasn't been reduced to a puddle, that I can think of, is the force that sealed it in the first place. It heals and fortifies his body but slowly leeches his life away."
Again Dark's eyes widened, this time in concern for the boy. "Is there anyway to suppress it?"
Little Sword nodded. "Yes. With a combination of nanobots and an infusion of our blood, we can suppress and store the excess energy away until he is strong enough to handle it while increasing his lifespan and vitality."
"Get started right away, I have a meeting." With that Dark left the room.
(Hokage tower)
Sarutobi sat in his seat, staring at the sake bottle thinking over the event that had transpired a few hours ago. He had yet to have a drink his heart still ached from the abduction of the boy he considered a second grandson "Naruto I hope you come back one day so I can apologize for being the foolish old man I am" he said to himself then a flash of bright filled the room
When he looked up he saw one of those creatures from earlier tonight. The 9 foot giant that held Naruto like an infant. Based on his size and highly decorative armor Sarutobi could only guess that this is the leader.
With speed that surprised even the Yautjan Elder because of his age, Sarutobi took a defensive stance "You are one of them the ones who took Naruto what have you done to him?"
The elder held up his claw silencing the man from asking further questions and threw a small device on his desk. He then motion from the device to the third's ear
"You want me to put that in my ear" The Professor asked, to which the giant nodded. Suspicious Sarutobi slowly pick up the strange device and put it into his ear
"Can you understand me Ooman?" Dark asked and upon seeing the shock on Sarutobi's face continued "I take that look as a yes, that device is a translator for you and you alone no one else is to use that."
Shaking off his shock Sarutobi when back to his previous question. "Now answer my question why did you take Naruto?" His steely gaze on the creature
"The child we feel has great potential and seeing how your village has treated him we believe that he would be better off with us." Was the Elder's response, which did not sit well with Sarutobi.
"But he belongs in the village! This is home, people here care for him!"
If Dark cared, he didn't show it. "I'm sure there is, but the fact remains that a large majority of this village treats this child with scorn, and dose not deserve a child with such potential."
Sarutobi fell back into his chair with a defeated sigh. 'He's right this pathetic village does not deserve a hero like Naruto but still he belongs here with us' he thought staring out over the city "I would like to propose a deal." He said suddenly.
"You are in no position to deal. We already have the boy and are ready to leave for our home world within the week." The elder responded almost shooting down Sarutobi's resolve.
Almost.
"Just hear me out. This will be beneficial to the boy as well us you and me."
Though still suspicious, Dark nodded and allowed the old Ooman to continue.
"I allow you to train Naruto for six years then bring him back for the genin exams." he stated with confidence the elder gave a clicking growled behind his mask.
"How do you know he would want to come back" The predator smirked.
"Because he always state he is going to become Hokage and surpass the Yondaime." The Sandaime replied pointing to the picture on the far wall. "May I ask what your name is?"
"I am called Dark by my clan I've lived for over 5,000 years and taken over the clan when the elder was dying and appointed me his successor." while looking at the picture of the Yondaime. "That man...he is the boy's father isn't he?"
"Ho-How did you know?" The Third asked with wide eyes.
"They are very similar in appearance." Dark answer staring at the picture "Take away the birthmarks and add 10 or 20 years and you have a carbon copy of this Yondaime."
"I guess I should be surprised." The Third sighed. "I should be more surprised that no one else has put 2 and 2 together." Seeing as they have gotten of track Sarutobi went back to his previous vendetta. "So do we have a deal with Naruto Return?"
"Yes we do, we will leave in a few days. We are currently trying to negate the power that is within him, it seems it shortens his life span when healing him" at this the Hokage's face was in complete shock. "I take it by the look you know what it is within him. I would suggest telling me so we can more easily deal with it."
Though a little apprehensive Sarutobi nodded. "That power within Naruto is the Kyuubi no Yoko, his father died sealing it within him."
"Hmm I see." Dark said calculatingly. "It will be more difficult but we can negate It, unfortunately the conscious part can not be destroyed but it can be blocked" he replied "But before I go we have one last thing to discuss. It seems we have another person who saw us tonight here is a picture" with that he pointed his right gauntlet at the wall and projected a picture of the lavender eyed girl
"Ah, Hinata Hyuuga she has quite a crush on Naruto." Sarutobi chuckled "But unfortunately she is bone crushingly shy and just can't seem to build up the courage to tell him." He continued with a sigh.
Dark adopted a contemplative stance, as if he just thought of something. "Well I think you better explain tonight's event and Naruto's tenant to her so she can know everything" Dark stated. "She might be more in love with him if she understands what he has gone through."
"Very well." The Professor replied. He wasn't sure about telling this to the girl, and potentially ruin the boy's best chance at love, but he couldn't risk them never returning him over it. "But you must not tell Naruto his heritage until he returns and only then I will give him the news when I feel he's ready."
"Very well I must take my leave" With that Dark left in a burst of light back to his ship, leaving a tiny probe behind to monitor the meeting with the girl.
Walking back to his desk Sarutobi could not help but give a somewhat dark chuckle. 'The villagers better get ready to kiss some ass.'
(3 days later. In the Nrak'ytara medical bay)
Naruto groaned as he regained consciousness. "What happened?" He mumbled with his eyes still closed. 'Now I remember.' He thought. 'I was attacked by another mob, this time with shinobi in it.' He felt the bed he was laying on. "Soft, must be in the hospital."
"Not quite." A gruff voice said from somewhere in the room.
Naruto jerked up, yanking an I.V full of glowing green fluid out of his arm in the process. He looked at the imposing form of Dark, His archaic looking armor only adding to this.
Dark raised his hand a calming gesture. "Do not be afraid, you are among friends."
Calmed but still suspicious, Naruto visibly relaxes.
"How did the negation process go, Little Sword?" Dark asked Yautjan Naruto did not notice before
"Surprisingly well Elder Dark," the medic replied while skimming through a computer. "Even better than expected, the nano machines have been able to filter and store most of the impurities and are slowly releasing it as he adapts. He as also adjusted to the blood very well and should live 3 times as long as a normal Ooman."
"Hey! Don't talk about me like I'm not here, what have you done to me!" Naruto stated rather loudly.
Dark chuckled at the boy's reaction "Naruto do you know what this power is?" Pointing to the screen, on which it had a display of an outline of Naruto's body showing both his Chakra network and the two different types flowing through it. One was blue and which flowed smoothly and effortlessly through his coils. The other was fiery red and concentrated in the center where his stomach was outlined, only coming out in erratic, fluctuating wisps.
"That blue fire is my Chakra, but what if that red stuff?" Naruto replied/asked wondering if that is why he has been beaten so many times and called a demon.
"This power is that of the Kyuubi no Yoko. It seems that the man you refer to as the Yondaime chose you to wield its chakra and power." Dark explained calmly.
Naruto's eyes widened with shock, sadness, and shame."So I really am a demon..." He said sadly, lowering his head until Dark's fist slammed onto the table roared ferociously, frightening Naruto.
"NO! You are the container not the Demon himself! You are Naruto Uzumaki of Earth!" Dark yelled causing Naruto to cringe, but then a puzzled look etched his bewhiskered face.
"Earth?" he asked. Then a side of the room started sliding down revealing a blue orb with a single large green and brown dot against a black background with a star. One word came to Naruto's mind and that was "Wow..."
"That is earth; where you and your village reside," Dark stated, smiling at the awe child-like wonder on the Jinchuuriki's face behind his mask.
"You didn't answer my question." Naruto stated. "What did you do to me?"
"K-k-k-k-k" Dark growled as he thought of what to say. "To put it simply we gave you a blood transfusion." At Naruto's confused and unsatisfied look, he continued. "It seems that when ever you are healed by the Kyuubi's "Chakra," as you call it, it shortens your lifespan depending on the severity of the wounds. To counteract this, we have infused you with out blood which increases the vitality and longevity of humans, as well as a colony of nano machines to filter and store the excess for later. According to Little Sword here." He motioned to the smaller Yautja at the computer counsels. "The combination of these will allow you to live at least 300 years longer than he average man."
This revelation blew Naruto away but he another question.
"Why don't you show me your face?" Naruto inquired looking where the figure was standing to his left.
"Before I do, I would like to ask one question," Dark replied.
"What is that?" the child asked curiously.
"Your Hokage said you want to earn his title. Why do you want to be the leader of a village that hates you for something you are not?" Dark asked with an equal amount of curiosity, indicated by the tilting of his head.
Naruto adopted a serious and somewhat stern look. "For as long as I can remember, people would call me demon, hellspawn and monster. They would beat and belittle me every chance they got. But I didn't care, I didn't care that they were the hypocrites calling me a monster when they were the ones beating a defenseless child." Naruto paused, tracing his home planet on the glass. "That's why I want to become Hokage. So I can prove them wrong, show them their sins and protect the few that are close to me." Naruto smirked and turned to the giant. "And so I can make the council kiss my ass!" Naruto's answer was full of confidence and determination and near the end mischief.
Dark stayed silent for a moment staring at Naruto as if he were analyzing the answer. Then he started to chuckle, which then soon turned in to full blown belly laughter. "Child you are truly something else. I don't think just promise me one thing,"
"Sure, what is it?" the blond replied smiling, somehow knowing these people would not hurt him.
"That you invite the clan when you make the council kiss your ass," Dark said between laughs, once he had composed himself he got to the business at hand. "Anyways I spoke with you leader and he agreed to let us train you in stealth and combat for the next six years."
"Really? You are?" Naruto asked hesitantly, almost afraid that it was just all a cruel joke. But upon receiving a nod a broad face-splitting smile appeared on Naruto's face. "YATTA! I am going to be the greatest ninja of the freaking planet!"
Dark had to fight the urge to chuckle at the boy's antics, but this was serious. "You must understand that the training you are going to go through is strenuous and brutal, even more so for an Ooman like yourself." He butted in, effectively stopping Naruto's celebration "You will need a great deal of motivation to survive and push you to the next level. Maybe this person can help?" with that, the Elder pressed a button on his gauntlet a screen appears and shows a beautiful lavender eyes girl with indigo hair in the Hokage office.
"HINATA! What are you planning to do to her?" Naruto yelled with a voice that promised pain.
Seeing the stern look on the boy's face Dark smirked, "So you care for this female, hmm?" the statement cause Naruto to blush a deep crimson.
"Um uh n… n… no s… s… she just a f…f…friend," he stuttered out hoping, Dark would buy it, but no such luck. Hearing him chuckle, Naruto's shoulders dropped in defeat "Okay, okay, I admit it I have a huge crush on her, but what the hell would she see in me? She is the heiress of the Hyuuga clan, practically a princess, while I am just a street rat demon container." Naruto's tone quickly went from embarrassed to defeated.
Dark smiled knowingly behind his mask. "Just watch the screen. This is being sent from a probe I left in the Hokage's office." as Naruto turn towards the screen.
-(Hokage Office)-
"Ahh Hiashi, Hinata. Just the two I wanted to see." the Sandaime greeted with a smile, which puzzled Hinata, who knew that he was crying about Naruto's abduction.
"Hokage-sama, what have you summoned us for?" Hiashi ask with no emotion but irritation.
"Hiashi, you can drop the act around me. I know this is not the real you," smiled Sarutobi as he watched the Hyuuga Patriarchs face soften, which in turn surprised Hinata, who never saw this side of her father.
"Thank you Hokage-sama. I hate acting like some kind of robot." Hiashi turned to Hinata kneeling to her level. "I am sorry that I have been so cold towards you Hinata, but the old traditionalists in the Hyuuga Elders would think I am weak if I showed too much emotion. So I had to mask my emotions to protect us both, even though it hurts to act this way towards you," with that he pulled Hinata into a hug, "I am so sorry Hinata. Please don't change for anything. I love you. I just want you to know that."
Hinata was taken back was this. Her father, the same man who use to call her weak and a failure, the same man who threaten of giving her title of heiress to Hanabi, "So you are proud of me, of what path I choose, Tou-san?" She asked timidly, almost fearful that the wrong words would turn Hiashi back into the stern slave driver from before. But upon feeling her father nod tears welled up in her eyes and she flung her around her father and returned the embrace.
After a few moments Sarutobi let out a quite cough to gain the pairs attention. "Okay, well if we can talk about what your daughter saw tonight," Hiashi and Hinata broke the hug and turned to a smiling Hokage, "It seems Hinata here witnessed the beating then abduction of Naruto," upon hearing his name, said girl blushed forty shades of red.
"What! Naruto has been abducted!" A rather surprised, and quite pissed, Hiashi exclaimed, who knew who the child really was.
"Yes, but not to worry. A few moments ago, I spoke with the leader and elder of the group who took him. They assured me that they would return him in six years. But during that time they are going to train him to become a skilled hunter." this made Hinata's mouth gape, but Hiashi just smirked.
"If your confidence is any indication then they must be very strong. With them training him he is going to be Hokage sooner than expected," Hiashi stated, to which Sarutobi nodded.
"So Naruto-kun is going to come back?" Hinata spoke up hopefully.
"Naruto-kun is it?" teased Hiashi causing his daughter to blush a deeper shade, making him and the third chuckle.
"You care for the boy, don't you Hinata?" Sarutobi asked which earned him a nod, "Would you go as far to say you love him?" He continued, which got a deeper blush followed by a nod from the indigo haired girl.
Realizing what she agreed to, Hinata fearfully looks up to her father but found a surprise. Instead of a disapproving look, what she saw was a smile. He was not ashamed of her choice of a possible boyfriend, "Tou-san, you are not upset with my choice?" Hinata asked hesitantly to which her father shook his head.
"I have always wanted you to get close to that boy, in hopes he will aspire you to work harder in your training so those old bastards will leave you alone," Hiashi explain, getting a smile and a hug from his eldest daughter.
"Sorry to interrupt but I think it is time to tell her Naruto's secret," Sandaime stated, to which Hiashi nodded and hoped Hinata would see past it. Looking over, he saw a look of curiosity on his daughters face.
"Well it started eight years ago with the death of the Yondaime, and the defeat of the Kyuubi," The Sandaime started to which Hinata nodded, understanding that the Fourth killed the Kyuubi "The truth is, the Kyuubi was not killed, as our records say, but it was sealed within a new born baby. And that baby was…" Sarutobi trailed off.
"Naruto-kun," Hinata finished with wide eyes.
"Yes. But, understand he is the container and not the Kyuubi it self, unlike what the village thinks and the old fools in the council" Sarutobi looked at the Hyuuga heiress to see a smile grace her lips.
"I know he isn't the Kyuubi. He is too kind a person, and takes the beating, yet still smiles even they are fake." she smiled brightly, "He pushes himself to protect this village and to better himself in the eyes of the people that belittle him, and that is why I love him."
Sarutobi smirked. If only Naruto had heard her proclamation and admittance of her love for the idiot blond, which unknown to him the probe, caught everything and was sending it to the ship.
-(On the Ship)-
Staring at the screen, Naruto held a wide eyes dumbstruck expression. "She …she loves me? But what's so important about me?" He asked himself.
Dark's mandibles twitched behind his mask in what was the Yautjan equivalent of a smirk. "Well from what I have heard from the transmission, maybe your determination and kindness. Hell maybe she goes for looks." the Elder and medic chuckled at the last statement.
"What's so funny?" An annoyed Naruto asked looking at the two before him.
"Ohh, nothing," the Predators said innocently "So, you ready to begin your training to become a predator?" receiving a nod, Dark smiled. "Good. But, before we begin I have one more question. Do you wish to protect those who hurt you tonight?"
Without missing a beat Naruto said. "Yes, but from this point on, I am dropping my mask of idiocy. I am going to show them my true self. Only one other person knows that side, and that is the old man," Naruto then closed his eyes. When he opened them, everyone could see a change in his demeanor, and the look in his eyes was that of a cold calculated hunter ready to face anything.
'Hmm we might make a Hunter out of him yet.' Dark thought, studying his face
"Now, you have to do me a favor," Naruto stated.
"Yes. What is it?" the Elder replied.
"What do you look like under that mask?" at this Dark nodded and reached up to his mask and pulled the tubes on the side, which hissed and let out compressed air. He reached up and grabbed the side and slowly lowered it.
Naruto gasped at what he saw. The creatures face was strange and scary. He had small yellow eyes with tiny black pupils. His forehead was huge, rivaling Sakura's. But the scariest part was his mouth, which looked like mutated crab with four mandibles that protruded outward, with two on the top and two on the bottom. Behind these was a small mouth with two fangs on the top and five teeth on the bottom. Covering the sides of his head was what looked like dreadlocks of hair. Only one thing went through Naruto's mind 'He's one…ugly motherfucker…'
Dark started speaking again but Naruto gave him a puzzled looked. "I can't understand you," Dark nodded, and threw a device like the one he gave to the Hokage and motioned to his ear, the boy nodded and put it in.
"Now can you understand me?" Dark asked and upon receiving a nod continued, "Good. What I was saying was we will start you training at the basic combi-stick, bio mask, 12 inch wrist blades and so forth," seeing the boy's face light up with excitement caused the elder predator to chuckle at his enthusiasm "But don't expect to be handed everything. You will have to work hard to earn your rank and upgrades in armor and weapons, understand?"
"Why would I want things handed to me? I am not like that stuck up bastard, Sasuke" Naruto replied with confidence, which the elder nodded.
'He understands the value of hard work and working to earn something,' thought Dark, "Well, we will get started tomorrow with your training, but now you must rest and allow you body to further adjust to the Yautjan blood." Naruto nodded and laid back into the medical bed and quickly fell asleep.
