A/N: Hello again! Due to a people saying in reviews that eventually someone will hunt me down due to the cliff hangers in the first and second chapter. I don't know about y'all, but I have more important things to do then worry about a mob. Like in the movie Gladiator, he who controls the mob has the power(if you don't get the reference watch the movie. I swear to god it is the best movie out there). So, here are the submissions so far:
Title: The-lazy-bum, JustWriter2, and EijiOokami
Summary: JustWriter2
P.S: I have gotten wind that this chapter hasn't uploaded properly. If you can read this message, review/PM me. That way I know it's up.
Now on with the story!
Tsunade and Shizune couldn't stop staring at her face with wide open mouths. Or, more accurately, her eyes. They where now purple with cat-like slits for pupils. Then a sudden twitching caught their eyes to another feature that was completely missing. Ish. They looked up to see that Yugito now had two blonde cat ears on the top of her head.
Then Yugito, whether from fatigue or to show off, yawned while putting her hands behind her head and stretching her back. This revealed long, slender cat-like teeth and fangs.
Then a swishing brought their attention downwards. There, jutting out of Yugito's tailbone and out a flap just below the writing on the cloak, where two blonde cat tails swishing in the air.
"See Yugito." Naruto said jokingly. "It wasn't that bad. See, they aren't even ordering our execution."
"Yet. Plus, they didn't know I was the Nibi jinchuriki. Once they see what happened to you, I bet we're gonna have to bolt."
"I bet we don't. Looser buys the ramen?"
"It's so on."
"Wait." Shizune said, finally getting out of her stupor. "You mean this isn't a bloodline limit? It's happened to you too?"
"Well, not exactly but that's essentially it in a nutshell. " Naruto replied before dropping his henge.
Tsunade, who was just about to come out of her stupor, looked like she was going to have a heart attack. Shizune now went back into hers.
Now Naruto had red eyes with slits for pupils, two blonde fox ears on the top of his head, fox-like teeth, claws for fingernails, and last but not least, nine fox tails swishing in the air behind him from a similar flap in his cloak.
"N-N-Naruto?" Tsunade asked, this time getting out of her stupor first.
"The one and only."
"What happened?"
"Well, long story short, me and the Kyubi merged, just like Yugito and the Nibi."
"Okaaaaaaaaay. That's a zery short very non descriptive answer. I think I want to hear the long version." Tsunade said. "Also, I'm sure Shizune would like to know, Right?"
"Right!" answered Shizune.
"Okay, so you know how the biju are masses of living chakra?" both Tsunade and Shizune nodded. "Well, the biju do die contrary to popular belief. So in order to stay alive the biju do something similar to what Orochimaru does every 100 years. Normally the biju take possession of an animal of the same species so they can obtain a new chakra core. Then once that animal dies it becomes the 'new' biju. You following?"
"I think so." answered Tsunade hesitantly. "But that doesn't explain why you look like that."
"I was just about to get to that. You see, about three years ago was the time all the biju needed to switch. The one problem, they were trapped inside of jinchuriki. So they did the next best thing. They merged with their jinchuriki. Now, when I die, I'll become the new Kyubi. Just like Yugito here will be the new Nibi. You don't have to worry though, we'll keep our memories. We keep our current memories, along with all the other animals that became a biju before us. Naturally of course, we've picked up some features that would be harder to find on other animals, appear blatantly obvious on us. Any questions?"
"I have one." Shizune said. "How come you have claws, while Yugito doesn't? Last I checked, foxes and cats both have claws."
"
Simple really." Yugito answered. "I do." instantly Yugito's finger nails turned into cat claws. "Remember, I merged with a cat. Similarly, my claws retract and extend at will like any normal cat." Yugito's claws then retracted. "Simple really."
"Okay, new question. Why are you a Cloud ninja?"
"Let me answer that question with a question." Yugito answered startling everyone. "what would the village, or more accurately the villagers, do if they saw Naruto walk around like this?"
"I'm sure they would understa-" Tsunade tried to answer but was interrupted when Yugito gave her the 'correct' answer.
"Wrong!" she exclaimed. "what do you know of Naruto's childhood?"
"Not a lot." Tsunade admitted. "But why does it matter?"
"Yugito," Naruto said soothingly. "you don't have to do this. You know what they say, 'ignorance is bliss'. Just drop it."
"No!" Yugito shouted, while rounding on Naruto. "As Hokage, she should know!" she then turned back to Tsunade before saying "Naruto has been abused nearly his whole life. Before he became a ninja, he would constantly be beaten in a side ally whenever the opportunity was raised for the villagers once he got kicked out of the orphanage. That age, by the way, was lowered to four for a brief minute just so they could kick him out." Tsunade and Shizune gasped at this news.
"Oh, but it gets better." Yugito started. "Ever since he became a ninja, the official ninja reports have been altered so the Uchiha gets all the glory. Just so they could stop the Hokage from giving him a field promotion. Then, to hold him back even further, during the chunin exams the Leaf panel was filled with Naruto haters. This prevented him from ranking up, even if he did win the whole thing which practically guarantees a promotion. I really doubt the villagers will understand, especially with the five year break."
"I-I-I had no idea." Tsunsde stammered
"Of course you didn't. That seems so trustworthy coming from the Hokage who should know everything about their ninja!"
"N-Naruto, is this true?" Tsunade asked.
Naruto shook her head causing Tsunade to breathe a sigh of relief. That didn't last long because Naruto then said "She toned it down quite a bit." That caused her to choke on air.
Yugito then resumed her story. "Now, Jiraiya took Naruto all over the world. After seeing people who didn't abuse him in regular towns, not just towns that he saved, he didn't even want to come back to the leaf village. Then he came to Cloud. There, we jinchuriki are respected, even praised just for holding a biju. It doesn't matter what village you come from, you're still a hero. Naruto loved it there. Jiraiya wasn't going to let his godson be miserable, so he let him defect. It's way better then this village. In cloud, he could have people worship him if he wanted them. And not even out of fear! That is what cloud had to offer. Not abuse every waking moment."
"I see." said Tsunade in a monotone. "I will not argue with this decision."
"But Tsunade!" Shizune exclaimed. "He's the Leaf village's best ninja! We can't let him get away without pursuit!"
"Shizune, you didn't let me finish."
"S-sorry."
"As I was saying, I will have to mark a you a missing nin after this meeting. Do you realize that?" Naruto simply nodded. "Now, I doubt that you came here for a social call, so what is it?"
"We came here" Naruto said in a somber tone "to tell you Jiraiya's last words."
A/N: Another cliff hanger(insert very evil laugh). I still controll the mob, meaning I have the power! Because I posted early this time, I will give y'all a bit 'till the next update so peoplevan offer submissions. All challenges are still go. I look forward to the changes in the titles and summarys now ;p. Anywho, please review in general. THN out!
