Chapter 2: The Hyuuga, The Aburame, And The Kyubi
His alarm blared into his ear, announcing that it was 7am. Instinctively, Naruto's palm came slamming down on the snooze button. But before he had a chance to fall asleep again, his prisoner woke him back up. 'Wake up Kit! It's time to get our team of tasty human!'
"Shut up, you stupid fox….." Naruto growled, as he pulled the covers over his head.
'Come on Kit! We've been suffering for so long at the hands of those pitiful apes! Now it's time to get back at them!'
"Fine……" He sighed, pushing the blanket off of him. Ever since he was seven, he started to hear the Nine-Tailed Fox's voice echoing through his thoughts. At first, he freaked out every time he heard them. But after a while, he got used to listening to what he had to say. And then he started having dreams, where he is in a flooded chamber. And there would be a giant metal gate with a seal attached to it. Behind it laid the demon who attacked the city of Konoha seven years earlier, the Kyubi, waiting to be able to talk with his host.
(Flashback)
"W…who are you?!" The seven year old Naruto asked in a terrified voice. The humongous fox glanced down, and began chuckling, with it's nine large fox tails thrashed around in it's cage
"Not the sharpest kunai in the holster, are you? I'm the strongest demon in all of existence, the Nine-Tailed Fox! And you, my little Kit, are my host."
"Y…you're the demon fox who attacked the village seven years ago?" Kyubi nodded. "You're the reason I'm a orphan?! Why I have no family or friends?!" Naruto shouted in anger.
"O.K…. THAT'S not my fault. It was the forth Hokage's fault I'm inside you. I was so strong, the only way to defeat me was to seal me inside the body of a newborn. And you unfortunately, drew the short straw." Then the fox noticed Naruto's tail was shaking, and laughed. "You're scared of me, aren't you?"
"N…no! I'm not scared of a stupid fox trapped behind a cage!" Naruto denied.
"Oh really? Then why is your TAIL shaking?" The boy looked around and grabbed his tail, in hopes of stopping it from trembling. The fox only laughed harder. "I see you received a few souvenirs from the sealing! You look so CUTE!" Now he was trying to get Naruto mad.
"Shut up, you damn fox!!!" He shouted at the top of his lungs. His tail stopped trembling, his hair stood up, and send a dangerous glare at Kyubi. This impressed the demon.
"Hmm…… Looks like you adopted my temper…. Good!"
"Where am I?!"
"You're inside your own subconscious. When you sleep, I am able to bring you here and communicate with you….. It was only after you turned seven when I was able to do this."
"Why are you doing this? Why would you want to talk to me?"
"Well… since we're stuck with each other forever…. Or until you die, I might as well get to know you, Naruto Uzumaki. I see what you see, I hear what you hear. That's how it works. But this damn seal will only allow me to do that much…. For now….." He mumbled that last part. But thanks to Naruto's fox ears, he heard it.
"What do you mean "For now…"?"
"Shit…. You're just full of questions, aren't you?!" Kyubi growled in frustration. "I'll tell you when you're older….." And that's when the first dream ended.
(End Flashback)
Naruto exited his apartment and walked down the hall. People he passed started whispering, but Naruto heard them. They said stuff along the lines of "It's a ninja now…" and "We're all doomed…". But now Naruto ignored them, not interested in getting in trouble with the Hokage about "accidentally" killing some villagers in a brawl. "I can hear you, you know?" Naruto called out, and laughed when all the villagers panicked and rushed back into their apartments.
'Good one Kit! That scared them!' Kyubi chuckled in Naruto's head.
"Yeah…. I figure it's funnier to scare them, instead of killing them. Because without them, my fun will be over." Naruto informed in a tired tone.
'Too true, Kit. Too true…..' Naruto was now walking down the street, when he noticed Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Hanuro waiting for him.
"Why, if it isn't the Kyubi child?" Sakura stated in a snobby tone, as she hid behind Sasuke, who sent his usual cold glare at him. Naruto put on a smirk and laughed.
"What's up Flat Chest? How about you come out from behind you precious Sasuke and talk to my face? I promise I won't bit anything…. Well, anything below the neck, anyway." He threatened as he licked his lips. Villagers passing by stopped to see the confrontation that was building between the Kyubi child and the last Uchiha. "Oh! I almost forgot about you, Uchiha…. How have you been doing?" He asked, pretending to be interested.
"None of your damn business, Nine-Tails…." Sasuke snarled in a low voice.
"Gees…. You're freaking retarded…." Naruto chuckled. "I only have ONE tail, not nine….."
"Shut your mouth, you freak!!!" Sakura screamed. "You have the Nine-Tailed Fox inside you! So that makes you the fox yourself!"
"Awesome! A fight! I have $15 on Uzumaki!" Everybody turned and saw Kiba Inuzuka, Shikamaru Nara, Chouji Akimichi, Shino Aburame, Ino Yamanaka, and Hinata Hyuuga walking their direction.
"What's up, Inuzuka? Still obsessing over your little doggie?" Naruto asked as Kiba's dog Akamaru growled angrily. But before Kiba had a chance to counter, Shino stepped in.
"I don't it's wise to have a altercation that could escalate into a confrontation with Naruto, Kiba…." He stated in his usual emotionless tone. Kiba snickered.
"Yeah, because he'd probably go wild and kill the villagers, right?"
"No…." Shino sighed. "Because you can't beat him if this does become a actual fight…. He's among the strongest and fastest Genins, thanks to the Kyubi's chakra."
"Oh please! I can take this wimp any d…." Then, Kiba was sent skidding across the ground by a punch Naruto delivered to his face. All the Genins jumped backwards, while the villagers watched in terror. The Kyubi boy walked up to Kiba's unconscious body, smiled, and spat in his face.
"Now the Kyubi brat it attacking members of higher clans!! Get him!!!" Naruto turned and saw around 20 angry villagers charging him, carrying pitchforks.
"Here we go again…." Naruto groaned as he got onto all fours. And in a blink of a eye, he was gone. The villagers immediately stopped and looked around.
"W…where is it?! Where did it…… Ahhhhhhhh!!!!" The man screamed as a flash of red flew right in front of him, taking his hands along with it. He cried in agony as he fell to the ground, as Naruto appeared before the others, with red chakra radiating off his body and with the two bloody hands in his fangs. Naruto then spat out the hands and smiled evilly at the other 19 men.
"Who's next? Because I have only five minutes till I become a Genin." He chuckled, as he licked the villager's blood from around his mouth. The men dropped their pitchforks and fled, leaving the handless man, crying for someone to help him. The group of Genins shivered as they witnessed they brutal mauling the man was put through. Naruto laughed cruelly, turned back to the other kids and smiled with blood stained teeth. "See the rest of you "Humans" at the academy!" And disappeared.
"Wow…. That was hardcore….." Chouji gasped.
"Like I said before…." Shino reminded. "He's one of the strongest AND fastest Genins in the class."
(At The Academy)
"Good morning, and congratulations on becoming Genins….." Iruka sensei started in a proud tone. All the kids were talking among one another, happy on becoming ninjas after six years of the academy. And as usual, Naruto sat by himself, with his head on his desk.
'God…. I still have the taste of the human's blood in my mouth!' Naruto growled I his head as he spat on the floor.
'Well…. Next time just tear them off with your claws!' The Kyubi suggested.
'Thanks for the tip….' Naruto thought sarcastically. 'That would've been good advice BEFORE I bit them off!'
'Maybe….. But it wouldn't have been as funny if I did tell you….' It laughed.
"O.K class….." Iruka announced, interrupting Naruto's back and forth with his demon. "I will now call off the teams!"
'Finally….. Who are the poor souls who are stuck with me?' Naruto thought as he picked his teeth with his claws.
'I hope I get on the same team as Sasuke!' Sakura squealed in her head as she stared dreamily at the Uchiha.
'I hope my new sensei like barbeque!' Chouji thought as his stomach began rumbling.
'Man…. This is way too troublesome….' $50 on who said that.
'I hope the Hokage is logical with his team assessment.' Shino thought.
'I…. I hope I g…get to b…be on the s…same team as N…Naruto….' Hinata thought as she blushed at the blond boy.
'You are SO dead the next time we meet, Kyubi!' Kiba thought furiously as he nursed his sore cheek.
'Losers………' Take a wild guess.
"Team 7 will be Sasuke Uchiha, Kiba Inuzuka and Sakura Hanuro. Your sensei will be Kakashi Hatake.
"Yes!!! I'm on the same team as Sasuke!! In your face Ino!" Sakura cried happily. Ino only laughed.
"Yeah….. AND dog boy…. Lucky you…." Ino said sarcastically.
"Team 10 will be Shikamaru Nara, Chouji Akimichi and Ino Yamanaka. Your sensei is Asuma Sarutobi."
"What?! I have to be on the same team as fat boy and lazy ass?!" Ino asked miserably as she started banging her head on her desk.
"Great….. Now I have to listen to her all the time now….." Shikamaru sighed as he looked out the window and watched clouds roll by.
"I hope he likes barbeque….." Chouji said hopingly as he opened a bag of potato chips.
"Team 8 will be Naruto Uzumaki, Shino Aburame and Hinata Hyuuga. Your sensei will be Kurenai Yuuhi." The room stayed quiet after hearing Naruto's name being mentioned.
'So….. I have the scared Hyuuga girl and the bug user Aburame, huh?' Naruto thought as he scanned the two Genins with his eyes.
'Naruto Uzumaki? This might prove to be challenging….' Shino thought, as he looked eyes with the demon boy.
'Y…yes…. I'm on N…Naruto's team…..' Hinata thought as she blushed and looked straight down.
'Oh! You got yourself the Hyuuga heir! Good for you!'
'Why does that human interest you, Kyubi?' Naruto asked, emphasizing human. 'She's just as weak as all of the other ones. Not to mention she's the shyest human here. She runs and hides if you stare at her long enough.'
'I'll let you figure THAT on your own, Kit…..' It snickered. Naruto then realized that everybody else were leaving the classroom. He sighed and got out of his seat, and followed to meet his new sensei.
(Outside The Academy)
The team met their sensei and walked to the park. When they reached the park, Kurenai picked a spot underneath a tree and they all sat down. But Naruto, instead of sitting cross legged, squatted on his feet and hands, like a fox would. Kurenai sighed, and started. "I think we should talk about ourselves. Here…. let me start. Hello, my name is Kurenai Yuuhi. I like singing karaoke and reading. I dislike drunks and people who think I can't be a good ninja because I'm a woman. And my goal in life is to get all of you to Jonin." Kurenai finished with a smile. She looked, and saw no one volunteering to go next. So she just pointed at Shino. "Your turn. The Aburame looked up and cleared his throat.
"My name is Shino Aburame…. I like finding and categorizing new species of bugs. I dislike anybody who kills insects for no reasonable reason. And my goal in life is to learn all of my clans jutsus, and then create one of my own." He finished in a unmotivated tone.
'Well…. He's as unmotivated as all the male members of his clan…. Hopefully I can liven him up.' Then Kurenai pointed to Hinata. The shy Hyuuga blushed and spoke in a quiet voice.
"H…Hello. M…my name is H…Hinata Hyuuga. I…I like cheerful people and…" Hinata looked at Naruto, blush, and looked back. "I…I dislike bullies and p…people why c…call others w…weak or hates p…people for something t…they had no c…control over…. A…And my dream is to e…earn the attention o…of my father and the Hyuuga clan……. A…And someone else…." She finished, with a blush. Kurenai smiled when the Hyuuga mentioned Naruto's situation.
'Looks like you're right, Sarutobi……' Then lastly, she pointed to Naruto. He sighed heavily and stood up.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki….. I like ramen and scaring the crap out of the villagers who won't leave me alone…. I dislike this entire village and all it's people….. And I also recently discovered I dislike the taste of blood. My dream is….. I mean WAS, to become the Hokage…but that's not happening now. Everybody hates me too much. So…I don't know now….." He finished in a growl and sat back down. Hinata was devastated about him stating he hated everybody in the village.
'N…no…. You are wrong, N…Naruto…. I don't hate y…you….' Hinata thought sadly, wishing she had the courage to tell him that.
'O.K…. He REALLY needs some help…' Kurenai thought disappointingly. 'But I can't really blame him for feeling that way…. I mean, if I was treated even half as badly as he was……. I don't even know what I'd do…..' "Well….. That was interesting….. We will start training tomorrow…. You all can go home…. Except you, Naruto." Naruto raised a eyebrow, but stayed as Hinata and Shino left.
"What do you want, Kurenai….." Naruto asked, forgetting to call her sensei. "Are you gonna try to kill me now? Or are you gonna wait for tomorrow to have a training "accident"?"
"Actually…. I was gonna ask you if you wanted to join me for some dinner…." This caught Naruto completely off guard.
"Come again?" He asked as he cleaned out his fox ears. The Jonin smiled.
"I already have the training regiment planned, so I have the rest of the night to myself. So…. What do you say?" Naruto didn't know what to think. This is the first time anyone ever wanted him to eat with them. After a few minutes of thinking, he sighed.
"Umm….. Sure. I guess…."
"Good…." She said cheerfully. "I know a good place to go."
(At The Restaurant)
The restaurant the two visited was just a little family owned restaurant, so not many people are there at the same time. They walked in, and took a seat at a table. To Kurenai's surprise, Naruto started fidgeting when they sat down. "You are not used to eating in places like this, are you?"
"Nope….. This is the first time you humans ever allowed me to eat in a restaurant…." Kurenai frowned at the "human" comment.
"Do you truly believe you're a demon?" Kurenai asked in a curious tone.
"Nope…." Naruto answered again, only in a sarcastic voice as he dangled his fox tail in front of their faces. "I'm just a regular boy…. Just with a long, fluffy fox tail, razor sharp claws, pointy fox ears, and blood red fox eyes…. Oh! And have the spirit of the fucking Kyubi in my stomach. So…. I think I'm just like everybody else." Before Kurenai could reply, Naruto continued. "Look, I know what you're trying to do…. You brought me here to try to become my friend and try to convince me that I'm not a demon…. Sarutobi already tried that, and it didn't work. I accepted what I was when I realized what was wrong with me. I accepted the fact that I'd never be forgiven for what the fox did 14 years ago. Not even the Hokage could keep the villagers from chasing me down and beating me to a pulp. It was only after I entered the academy when they finally left me alone. But they passed their hatred onto their children. I was tortured practically every day of my life. So don't try to make me feel better about my miserable life…….." Then he got up from his seat and left his sensei there at the restaurant, before they even had a chance to order anything. Kurenai was about to call out to him, but she didn't she know he wouldn't listen to her.
'Poor kid……. He deserves better then this.' When the waiter came to the table to ask if she wanted anything, she sighed and said no. then disappeared in a puff of smoke, to go see the Hokage.
