A few days latter Mr. Hatake was finally allowed to bring his youngest son home from the hospital. The hospital had kept Tatsu for those few days to make sure he was fully healthy and that their was nothing wrong with him. Sakumo was happily smiling as he walked beside his dad as they headed home. Tatsu was silently taking in the village as his father carried him. The vllage was way bigger than what the anime, videogames and what the manga had shown.
Than again he was rather small so everything did appear larger and much bigger than himself. He had slowly come to terms with the fact, that he had died and had been fully reborn in the Naruto world as Sakumo's baby brother. True he wasn't happy about it, but what could he do? He was stuck in this new world. He only regretted he didn't know a lot about this world, like other Naruto fans did. He only knew parts and pieces of the series both from the anime, movies, and from the manga.
They soon arried at the Hatake-clan compound. The place was huge and if Tatsu had to guess the Hatake compound was most likely destroyed the night the Kyuubi attacked or little Kakashi had sold his family compound so he wouldn't be haunted by his father's death, hense the reason why Kakashi lived an apartment building. It was sad in all honesty. Tatsu slowly shifted so he could look down at Sakumo who was smiling. 'I promise Kakashi, things will be different for you as well as Naruto.' Tatsu thought with determination before he was pulled from his thoughts as his father handed him over to Sakumo.
"Summoning jutsu!" Their father said after he did a series of hand signs before he suddenly slammed his hand to the ground making a large pack of nin dogs to appear. That was when Tatsu's face had paled dramaticalll as he stared in horror at the sight of the nin dogs that his father had just summoned. How the hell did he forget that the Hatake family had a summoning contract with dogs? Why did it have to be dogs?! He was scared to death of dogs.
The nin dogs had been summoned so they could meet the youngest Hatake child, that their summoner had just brought home from the hospital. They been looking foreward to meet the pup. However everyone was completely unaware of Tatsu's fearful exspression as he stared at the nin dogs before him. Feeling his baby brother suddenly tense in his arms, Sakumo looked down to see how scared his baby brother was of their nin dogs. "Uh Dad...I think Tatsu-kun is afraid of dogs." Sakumo said softly in concern.
"He's never seen a dog before Sakumo, just give him time. You were the same way when you were a baby." Their dad said grinning as he carefully took Tatsu from Sakumo. Before he suddenly than sat on the floor of the front porch allowing the dogs to come closer to sniff the baby. Tatsu's eyes watered as images of being mauled to death by the large pack of dogs in front of him flashed through his mind. He began trembling as he tried desperately to move his body to inch backwards. However babies had almost no control over their limbs let alone their bodies much to Tatsu's horror. The largest of the nin dogs approached and suddenly sniffed the baby. Tatsu froze in horror at the sight of how close it was too him.
'Way too close! Way too close for comfort! Oh fuck...those are some wicked sharp teeth and holy shit are they long! Are they even normal size for a dog?!' Tatsu's mind wondered in fear.
"The pup smells healthy, Riku-san." The nin dog said as he stared at the trembling baby who was starring wide eyed in pure horror at him. The baby was mostly starring at his fangs in dread as well as fear.
Tatsu nearly screamed when one of the other nin dogs suddenly approached and slurped his face. Tears ran down Tatsu's face as his mind was screaming, 'They now had a taste of fleash and their now going to try and eat me when no one is looking!'
"Poor little pup, looks terrified Riku-san. Maybe you should have waited till he was tiny bit older before introducing us to him." A female nin dog said as she looked at the baby in concern as the baby seemed to hyperventilate.
"Tatsu will be fine, just give him time." Riku said unaware that his youngest son's eyes had just rolled up into his head as he passed out insteantly in his arms from the fear.
"Uh dad...I think Tatsu just passed out." Sakumo said fearfully in concern since his baby brother had just fainted in their father's arms.
"He might just be tired, Sakumo. It's been a long day for him." Riku said sighing as he carfully got up to his feet and carried his youngest son to the nursery. He carefully placed his youngest child in his crib, covered him up and left the room. Sakumo and the nin dogs did not look convinced by that. Sakumo sighed as he approached the crib and stared at his baby brother.
"Don't worry Tatsu-kun, I'll help you get over your fear of dogs. That's a promise." Sakumo said smiling in determination.
"Sakumo, it's time for training." Riku said making Sakumo leave the nursery as he went to train with his father. Tatsu slowly came around only to find himself in his crib. He growled in frustration. He knew that he fainted because of his fear of dogs. However he also knew he had to get over his fear of dogs eventually. However Nin dogs were going to be a hell of a lot worst, he could just sense it. A low growl like sound to his left made him turn his head only to see a large white wolf barring it's fangs at him from the shadows, it's glowing yellow eyes were locked on him. Tatsu stiffened as his eyes widen comically as they began to water in fear. The white wolf slowly approached his crib and began to circle it like a shark waiting to attack it's prey. It's sharp percing yellow eyes that glowed inhumanly remained locked on his tiny trembling form.
'I'm going to fucken die again, only this time it will be a hell of a lot worst!' Tatsu thought in fear as he squeezed his eyes closed. When he opened his eyes the white wolf was no where to be found. Tatsu let out a soft sigh of relief that the wolf he just saw was gone. He began trying to get control of his limbs only to give up. There wasn't much he could do until he was older. He let out a mortified cry when he relised their was going to be a hell of a lot of embarassing moments he would have to endure. Baths, diper changing, feeding and normal things that envolve a baby. True he already delt with these things but he could tell it was going to get worst. He didn't know how yet, but he knew it would get a whole lot worst and more embarrassing as time goes by.
He laid there looking up the ceiling. All he could do was take one day at a time and hope for the best. He would not allow his past life as Liam Sretaw be a burden to him. He was pulled from his thoughts as he turned his head to see the white wolf sitting there watching him intently. Tatsu than let out a scream of terror just as Riku and Sakumo rushed into the room. The white wolf had vanished seconds before the two could even see it. It was like the wolf was never there.
"Calm down Tatsu-kun. We're right here...son." Riku said as he reached into the crib and picked up his youngest who started crying loudly.
"Dad, is Tatsu-kun okay?" Sakumo asked in concern at how his baby brother was acting.
"He will be okay in time...he's most likely hungry. Let's get you, your bottle." Riku said with a warm smile as he carried the baby out of the nursery. Sakumo looked unsure before he glanced back into the nursery only to see a pair of glowing yellow eyes watching him intently from the shadows of the room. Sakumo reached up and rubbed his eyes only for the yellow eyes to have vanished completely as though they were never there.
"Dad, did you leave posion on the kunai's again!? Dad!?" Sakumo asked in a worried tone as he rushed out of the nursery after his father and baby brother. A white wolf slowly stepped out of nursery and sat there looking slightly amused but more annoyed than anything else.
"Well fox-boy...it seems things are going to get harder from here on out. You really should have removed that fear of his, before giving him his second life." The white wolf growled out in irritation just as the old man that Liam had encountered suddenly appeared as he sat down beside the wolf.
"I never knew he was afraid of dogs! Oh man, Kakashi-sensei is gonna kill me!" The old man yelled gripping his hair tightly.
"It just makes my job a hell of a lot harder...good grief who ever heard of a Hatake being afraid of dogs?!" The white wolf growled shooting the old man a very dark look. "You asked me to keep an eye on the boy, and I will. However you never mensioned he would be scared to death of dogs, you fox possessed brat!"
"I didn't know he was afraid of dogs!" The old man yelled in defense as he glared at the white wolf who snorted at him.
"You were given a list of questions to ask the brat, before giving him his second life. Did you even question him before just dropping him into this life?" The white wolf grumbled bitterly.
"I know what Kakashi-sensei gave me...it's just...half the list sort of got drenched in ramen broth and well it smeared the ink so badly that I had to do it from memory. Also of course I questioned him." The old man said looking a bit hurt he wasn't being trusted with this important mission. The white wolf stared at him with a very dark look.
"Please tell me, you at least asked the kid what type of affinity he wanted, right before dropping him head first into this new life?" The white wolf asked only to watch as the old man's face paled dramatically as his eyes widen in horror. The white wolf slapped it's paw over its eyes as he groaned. "You realy fucked this all up didn't you, fox-boy?"
"I-I'm sure it will be fine. Besides I have full belief in Tatsu-kun's abilities. It will be just fine, believe it." The old man said nervously as he jumped up to his feet. The white wolf snarled at him as he lowered his paw to glare at him.
"I knew accepting this mission was going to be a nightmare, easy mission my ass. Hey get back here fox-boy, i'm not done with you! We need to have a long chat about how to fix this fucken mess and do you at least know what type of affinity the brat will have!? For fuck's sake he better not have the water affinity mixed with lightning because that's going to be a bitch of a comination to deal with!" The white wolf snarled as he saw the old man making a fast get away as he quickly vanished into thin air. The white wolf bristled as he jumped to his feet and charged after the old man as he faded away after the old man.
Meanwhile down the hall way Tatsu was drinking the bottle silently in his dad's arms as their dad's shadow clone was trying to calm Sakumo down who was frantically questioning their dad if he left posion on the kunais again, because he was saw glowing yellow eyes from the nursery. Tatsu nearly choked on his bottle at the mension of glowing yellow eyes from the nursery. All he could see was that white wolf that had circled his crib from earlier. So he hadn't been imagining it.
"Sakumo...for the last time. You're fine. I haven't used posion on my kunais since the incident were I ended up poisoning myself right in front of you and your mother."
"But Dad, I know for a fact that I saw glowing yellow eyes fom the nursery! That's not normal!" Sakumo yelled as Riku sighed as he shifted Tatsu in his arms.
"Sakumo, enough. You're going to scare your baby brother if you keep yelling, like this." Riku's shadow clone said frowning.
"I know what I saw...why don't you believe me?" Sakumo asked softly.
"Sakumo, I do believe you. However there was an old family legend that a member of the Hatake-clan would one day summon a large white wolf with glowing yellow eyes and would than be given an ancient summoning contract with wolves. The wolves were known to be exstremely deadly in battle for their cunning, speed and viciousness. They showed no mercy to their enimies but were fiercely loyal as well as protective of their summoner and to anyone their summoner was allied with." Riku said softly.
"Dad, wasn't that scroll lost centuries ago?" Sakumo asked softly in confusion. "Also what does this have to do with what I just saw!?"
"The wolves simply took back their contract after someone killed their summoner and tried to use their contract without permission. Basically that person abused their power for an evil purpose that went against their nature of being a protector. Since that day no Hatake clan member has ever been able to summon wolves. I have a feeling the yellow eyes you saw might have belong to a wolf summon...a wolf summon that might be waiting for young Tatsu-kun here to one day summon it. I have a feeling Tatsu is destined to be a great protector of the hidden leaf village." Riku said with a small smile of pride.
"Tatsu summoning a wolf?" Sakumo asked as he tried to picture it. He than frowned as he stared at his little brother.
"Sakumo, what is it?" Riku asked him softly in concern.
"Dad, why do I only picture my baby brother screaming and running in the opposite direction in a state of sheer panic mixed with fear at what he just summoned?" Sakumo asked softly as his eye twitched in annoyance.
"Sakumo, for the last time your baby brother is not afraid of dogs." Riku snapped in irritation. Tatsu was looking confused as he kept glancing between his father and older brother.
