Now then for the disclaimer I don't own Naruto or and of the characters in the manga. If I did Naruto would be smarter and not so trusting.
Chapter 3: Okami
I didn't want to open my eyes. I wanted to believe it was all just a bad dream and I was going to wake up in my bed. The sterile smell around told me otherwise. I was in the hospital and I was not going to enjoy it at all. I wasn't sure if it was a Hatake thing or a ninja thing but I hated hospitals.
I eventually opened my eyes to see that I was in the Hatake clan hospital room. Each other the 12 ninja clans were given their own room. Each room had 10 beds but since we were a small clan we had some of the beds taken to where they would get some real use. Slowly sitting up the first thing I noticed was my chest down was bandaged. Second thing I noticed was someone had changed me in to a pair of shorts. Thirdly I noticed a small orange and yellow blob at the foot of my bed.
After my eyes readjusted I realized it was Naruko, and she had stolen my blanket. I then noticed my father passed out in the chair. He was shirtless but the shirt wasn't far and looked to be covered in blood, my blood. This caused me to jerk up which was bad because pain shot threw me and I clenched my teeth. What I did I bit my tongue.
"Fuck," I yelped as I pulled my mask down to spit the blood from my mouth. This also caused Naruko and my father to jerk awake themselves.
"Cuán what's wrong?" my father asked as he rushed over.
"I bit my tongue," I said wiping the blood from my mouth only to notice my teeth, "WHY DO I HAVE FANGS?" This caused both of them to laugh.
"Well seems your bloodline had more changes physical changes," my father said.
"Bloodline?" I asked "Physical changes? What are you talking about?"
"You have awakened a long dormant bloodline," he said sitting on the bed. "I took it as a bedtime story when I was young but turns you have it. You can turn into a wolf,"
"What about physical changes. I don't have a tail do I?" I asked twisting to turn to see but it hurt. My father laughed as he stopped me from twisting.
"No you don't," he said. "Your body has matured a little for the most part, the fangs, and your smell,"
"Matured?" then I looked at myself. I hadn't grown any taller so what was he talking about. I put my hands on my abdomen and noticed the change though. Holly shit I have muscles. "What about smell?"
"You smell like a dog," Naruko said.
"I have always smelled that way," I said confused. It was always good to know your own scent and mine was like a dog and pine trees.
"Not just a dog anymore," my father said. "You smell like a wolf and it is a semi feral smell to it,"
Everything finally became too much. I silently got up and went towards the bathroom. Naruko tried to follow me but my father stopped her. I slammed the door shut and pulled my mask down. I looked in the mirror to see the now prominent fangs when I opened my mouth. Putting my hand on the mirror I looked into my own eyes. The glow suddenly appeared and the night before flashed before my eyes.
Next thing I knew I needed to vomit. I moved to the toilet and began puking at what I had done. I had torn his throat out with my teeth and ripped his abdomen spreading his guts with my hands, well clawed paws but still. After I finished empting my stomach of the little I had I went in to the corner. All I could do was stare at my hands and do to that I didn't notice my father walk in until he grabbed my hands and pulled me into him.
"Its ok pup," he said and I started crying.
"I killed a man how is that ok?" I asked between cries.
"For a ninja it is part of life," he said calmly "Not one I expect you to have to do so young but part of life."
"But,"
"No buts," he said pushing me off his chest. I looked up to see something in his eyes, pride. "You didn't kill the man just to kill him. Hell it was not a mission order like most first kills. You killed to protect a friend from a fate that can be worse than death to a young girl. You did nothing wrong,"
"His son won't see it that way," in vomit inducing memories I had remembered what he said and drew to the conclusion that Akio was his son he spoke of.
"His father tried to force himself on a 7 year old. That is forfeit of life if there was any and as he was on Hatake land when found in the act it was our job to carry out the punishment we deem fit," he said "But don't worry about his son cause other than a few of the ninja council, ourselves, and Naruko will know who did it. The council will be informed soon that an Anbu delivered the punishment and the family will then be informed,"
"Naruko," I said sadly. She was gonna think I was some kind of monster. Why she had stayed well I was out I have no clue, maybe honor. Now that I was awake she would leave me.
"She won't do that," my father said as if he read my mind. He then helped me off the floor and out. Naruko was sitting on my bed waiting with a fox like smile as I came out.
"Thank you Cuán," she said jumping off and at me. I barely had enough time to put my arms out and my father had to stop me from tumbling back.
"Careful Naruko-chan, they may have mostly healed him but he is still hurt," she backed off just as the purple haired Anbu named Yugao Uzuki. She was a friend of my father so she often came to the house to train with him.
"The Konoha Council is calling for you Cuán-kun, and Naruko-chan senpai," she said. Calling it Konoha Council I knew it was the full council. If it wasn't it would be civilian or ninja council's. The Hokage's advisors would also be included though they could not vote.
"Let me check Cuán out and run home and change,"
"Sadly no time senpai," she said throwing a shirt at him. "We can check him out but the civilians are impatient as always and know of your tardiness. Sorry I don't have a shirt for you Cuán I just grabbed a spar out of your father's locker,"
We then walked to the front desk to check out. With some mumbled words by the nurse about ninja leaving before they should we left. Naruko followed close behind, she looked nerves so I squeezed her hand to show her I was there. When we entered the room though she quickly let go, as if she did want anyone in the chamber to see.
In the champers the room was split in two. On one side you had the Civilian Council made up of merchants and headed by the three civilian clans. On the other side was the ninja council made up of the 12 ninja clans, Jonin commander, head of the Konoha Police, and Anbu commander. There was empty seats though. The Senju seat was and Sarutobi seat empty due to them rep not being in the village, though the Hokage could vote for his Hokage chair and the Sarutobi clan. The Uzumaki clan was left out of respect for the late Uzumaki clan. If the true clan heir came to Konoha they could take the place. The Hatake chair was also empty due to my father being next to me.
Other than that there was the Nara headed by Shikaku Nara who was also the Jonin commander, giving him two votes. The Yamanaka held but Inoichi Yamanaka who was the current head of the T&I department. Choza Akimichi the head of the Akimichi clan sat next to him. Along with my clan and the Kurama head clan they made up the bottom row. The second row comprised of the Aburame clan head Shibi Aburame, Inuzuka head Tsume Inuzuka, the Sarutobi seat where Asuma Sarutobi would seat upon his return, the Hyuga clan head Hiashi Hyuga, and the Phoenix masked Anbu commander. The top was for the founding families so two of the seat were empty leaving Fugaku Uchiha the head of the Uchiha family and the Police force also giving him 2 votes.
In front of the open between the 2 councils was the Hokage in the large chair and his two official advisors on either side of him. I knew of Danzo though as my father and Tenzo took to warning me of the power hungry man. He was standing in the shadows behind the Hokage like a cobra ready to strike when the Hokage was weak.
"This meeting of last night's events can now come to order," the Hokage said slamming the gavel.
"Could we just hear the events of last night?" asked the pink haired women on the civilian side. "Not all of us were told why we were brought here,"
"Last night Miss Naruko Uzumaki was attacked on the Hatake compound grounds," said the Anbu commander. "Due to that some things came to light about the Hatake family,"
"Is that why Hatake-san has not taken his seat," said one of the civilian members.
"I could but I would rather be here for my son," he said placing his hand on my shoulder.
"Why is the boy not clothed?" ask Fugaku.
"Well we came right from the hospital so you should be happy he is not in a gown as grabbed shorts for him last night,"
"Back to the topic please," the Hokage said. The Anbu commander then stood and began to recount the events. Everyone was quite well he spoke of the attack and subsequent death of Akio's father. He then said the man was dispatched by the responding Anbu on my fathers orders.
"Why was this man not brought to the Police and brought to trial?" screeched the pink haired women.
"Well," my father stated "simply put that attack occurred on Hatake ground with the heir defending the victim and being injured himself. Also he was a Chunin and the police deal in civilian matters"
"How did you defend her and get the wounds boy?" asked Fugaku.
"I at first attacked him normally but was flung it a tree causing broken ribs on my left and the gash to my head sir," I answered much more politely they he had asked.
"The report says you suffered kunai wounds as well,"Inoichi asked.
"Yes sir,"
"How did that occur?" asked Shikaku who leaned forward as if to hear better.
"I attacked the man as a wolf sir," I said at this I saw Danzo come out of the shadows just slightly
"A wolf?" asked a civilian.
"Yes,"
"You mean summoned a wolf?" asked Tsume.
"No ma'am, I physically turned into a wolf and attacked the man. He started to stab me and my father appeared and called Anbu. The man was injured enough where he could not move and was dispatched by Anbu," as if forgetting what I had said a civilian went back to the man's death.
"Again why was the man at least not questioned?" the council women asked "The boy could have not seen what was truly going on. Maybe the girl lured him there to pay back for what his son had done earlier to her,"
At this I couldn't stop the primal growl. I felt my teeth elongate further and I bet my eyes were glowing. My nails also became clawed. I started to lunge but my father grabbed a hold of me.
"That man tried to rape her and that's what you think!" I yelled "You think she wanted that to happen,"
"Cuán you need to calm down," my father said. Closing my eyes I took a few breaths. I opened them to see all eyes on me. My father then turned to the council "As this bloodline isn't well understood at this moment please don't get him going again,"
"Well well that was more primal then any Inuzuka," Tsume said with a laugh.
"The energy he releases in that state is not normal according to my insects," Shibi said stoically. Now the whole room was up in arms and it was getting extremely loud. I looked to see that no one else seemed effected. I covered my ears to try and help but it didn't do much. I then fell to my knees and only Naruko seemed to notice so she came to try and help.
"SHUT UP!" everyone looked at me again and I looked around now realizing what I had done.
"Cuán," my father said softly kneeling down to me.
"Seems the bloodline is still working on changing a few things," the Hokage said.
"What is this damn bloodline you are talking about?" the pink haired women screeched.
"Cuán if you could change please," the Hokage said.
"You got a room so I can?" I asked "I don't need to destroy any more clothes," with a laugh he pointed me to a bathroom and I went in. I wasn't sure at first how to change. Last night was pure instinct but now I didn't have that. I sat on the floor and looked for the energy Shibi had spoken of. Finding it I let it over come me.
I opened my eyes to find myself in the form of my wolf. Walk the wall length mirror for the first real look at my form. Along with the black tips and muzzle the tip and underneath of my tail was black. My from paws up to what would be my wrists was black and then wisps and swirls of black up to my shoulders. My hind paws my toes where covered and the bottom was black, as if I had stepped in paint. From the bottom of the paw it went up the back and stopped at the hock. My silver coloring was stunning and even shinned in the light.
I scratched and yipped at the door and my father opened in. I walked back to my spot to see the stunned faces. Danzo now was out of the shadows with a smirk on his face. Tsume's wolf also came out interested in me.
"And how do we know this is not a henge?" asked one of the civilian's
"I watched the boy change it is not a henge," Hiashi said.
"I am also not picking it up with my sharingan either," Fugaku said.
"The child is very much a wolf as I am," said the wolf "can you speak child?" to this I shook my head.
"A true transformation," said the Kurama head.
"I say we test the boy to see if he has viable sperm yet and start implanting eggs," said Danzo. At this I growled as I knew why he wanted that. I was not quite 8 but I was far from stupid. I was a Hatake damn it and though I wasn't on par with the smartest Nara I was still as smart as many as them.
"I believe that growl is to be taken as a no from Cuán," the Hokage said trying not to laugh.
"Then he shall be placed in the CRA and will be married at 15 after picking his first wife when he reaches Genin," said a civilian. I growled and barred my teeth at the man. I will stay just like this if they try that shit. I thought seemingly to myself but the wolf perked up and smilled.
"Seems in this form the boy can project his thoughts, only with me seemingly at the moment," the wolf said "So you should all know he says he will stay in this form if you try to force anything like what you suggest on him."
"He doesn't have the chakra to do that?" said the same civilian.
"I think if the doujustu users would look they would see the boy isn't using any to keep this form," my father, Hiashi, and Fugaku all looked at me and shock spread across their face.
"He is right," Fugaku crudely said.
"Looks like he could even preform jutsu's in this form with training,"
"But how would the boy eat or use the bathroom?" I looked down at this. I was sitting as dog would and that did expose my manhood, or this case doghood, to all around me. Really you idiot. I maybe a human but you all can clearly see I have wolf anatomy in this form. The wolf next to me burst out laughing as what he seemed to be able to hear. "What did you he say now?"
"He would like to point out that he has the anatomy of a canine and the way he sits you can clearly see it," he said to the man. "That said he could stay in this form indefinitely,"
"I say we put it to a vote," said a civilian.
"This is not a voted discussion," the Hokage said. "This meeting was to inform the council of last night's event and welcome a new bloodline. All bloodline or low member clans have the right to refuse either option. Cuán has refused to do either option and we must respect the clan wishes. If he changes his mind he will let the council know. Last thing we need is to know the name of the bloodline," everyone looked to my father.'
"As I am not the wielder of the bloodline I believe Cuán should name the Hatake bloodline," he looked at me as he spoke. I ran in to the bathroom once more and quickly changed. I ran back out so to tell them with my own words.
"What is the name you choses boy?" asked Fugaku.
"Okami, it will be called the."
"The wolf bloodline. Simple but to the point," the Hokage said with a smile. "This meeting is officially over," with that said we went home.
Read, Review, Fav, and Follow.
A short chapter but I couldn't see putting more as it really as I feel it would be too much. Now to the Guest that reviewed KakaYugao I think I can do that. Maybe even in the next few chapters. Now the question is do you want lemons sooner with that pairing or just implied?
My big issue right now is teams, though it won't happen for a few chapters. I wat to keep Sasuke, Naruko, and Cuán on a team (with Kakashi as sensei) but that gives me the issue of Sakura. I still want her to play a part even if I don't really like her much in the first half of the cannon. I have done two other stories with the 4 man team but I almost don't want that. I could not have her on a team but be specializing in med training. She could also "train" with team 7 on her off days giving a bit of comedic relief at times. Review or message me on what you all
Until Next Time
