Prologue

A young Jonin named Okami resides in a small, yet very well hidden village not very far from Konoha. She was assigned to protect the village for three years due to the increasing number of wolf attacks. Wolves were never this violent. They only time they attack is when there's a sudden shortage of food or they've been attacked themselves. This was very strange.

Well, those three years are almost up, and thanks to Okami, wolf attacks happen rarely now. She was just packing her things until she received a message from the village wise woman. The wise woman ordered Okami to check in with Genki, the village's lookout. Something was wrong, very wrong. And it was heading in their direction.

After she received the message, Okami was on her way to the watchtower. On her way to the tower, something bothered her. She noticed that the forest surrounding the village was eerily quiet. As if, something big went into the forest and scared off all the animals and birds. "Something's definitely up!" She said to herself. "I hope nothing happened to Genki."

When she reached the tower, the unthinkable came to be. The watchtower was destroyed and Genki was nowhere to be found. She looked closer at the damaged site and noticed two trails leading back into the forest. One was a trail of blood. She wiped her finger on the blood and sniffed it. "It's still fresh." She thought. "And it's human. Genki, I'm sorry I wasn't here earlier." She glimpsed at the other trail and was shocked. It was a trail of pawprints, and these were very large to be normal pawprints. Something else caught her eye. Near one of the pawprints, was a strand of white fur. This shocked her even more.

Suddenly, the ground started shaking. Then she heard a loud wolf cry. From afar, she could hear trees being knocked down. Something big was coming her way.

Seconds later, a giant white wolf busted through the trees. Its mouth was covered with blood. She spoke to it. "Oh, mighty white wolf god. Why have you attacked a human? Aren't you a kind and protective being?" It didn't answer, instead it just growled. Black tentacles slithered out of its neck. "Oh, no. This one is cursed!" She said. "I mustn't touch him or else I'll be cursed, too!"

It lashed one of its tentacles at Okami, though she was able to dodge it. She quickly took out a kunai and threw it directly to the wolf's eye, blinding it. It howled in pain. Then she quickly took out a kusari-gama. She threw the scythe to the mouth. It stabbed into the muzzle and the chain quickly wrapped around it. She pulled on the chain, causing the wolf to fall on its side. Okami smirked. She had set a trap, which immediately triggered when the wolf fell. Kunais and shurikens flew from the trees and into the wolf, stabbing it a hundred times.

"Pathetic human!" The wolf roared. "You may have defeated me, but you won't defeat my master!"

"Your master?" Okami asked.

"My master will liberate all wolves and destroy all you humans! You will all suffer for destroying our homes and killing most of our kind!"

After those last words, the decayed rapidly, until its skeleton was left. "That was way too easy." Okami thought. "Usually, it takes more than that to kill a god."

The ground began to shake again. Another white wolf busted through the trees. This wolf was different form the last one. This one was much bigger than the last one and it seemed to be nice. It looked at the skeleton of other white wolf, then back to Okami. It spoke to her. "My dear child, you do realize that you killed one of my pups."

Okami fell to her knees and bowed to the wolf. "I am so sorry. Please forgive me."

"It is alright. My pup was cursed and turned into a demon. You had no choice but to kill him. I will reward you for your bravery but I must also punish you for killing one of my pups. I will give you the power of my deceased pup and his duty as guardian. Wolves everywhere are turning evil. You must capture these evil wolves and purify them. You must also destroy the one who is causing all of this."

"I understand, but will I do this alone?"

"No. My two other pups will assist you. They'll be waiting for you at your village. They have disguised themselves as humans."

"Alright, I accept this responsibility."

"So be it."

The white wolf howled loudly to the sky. The skeleton of the pup began to glow brightly. Suddenly, it started moving. The skeleton ran toward Okami and bit her left arm. She didn't do anything, but grit her teeth. The skeleton began to melt into ooze, which then burned into her skin. When it was completely absorbed into her arm, her skin started to turn pale white. The wolf smirked. "It is complete! Okami of Konoha, you are the Wolf Guardian!
