Chapter 3: Introducing the Hive
Last Time
"Just relax," Naruto heard Kyuubi whisper in his head. "Wolf smells like this." He said as the scent, almost like a memory wafted to his nose. It smelt like fur, musk, the forest, and something else that Naruto couldn't quite name.
'Willing' the information over to the Queen, he set out sorting through the scents, as Kyuubi instructed him to do so, Naruto and the Queen were able to quickly find a pack of wolves.
Now
A month has passed since the Queen was born and she had already grown to a very intimidating height.
Naruto knew that she had reached her full height and was anxious to build herself a large colony.
The first two weeks had been filled with them exchanging information about many different things that was important to know.
The last two weeks had been filled with training and coming up with different ways to breed the colony. Naruto had willingly "birthed" two Defenders, two Hive Warriors, one Praetorian, one Smasher, and four Warriors. Then with the help of the surrounding wildlife four Runners were made and six Wolf Aliens, which brought the hive number up to twenty-two members including Naruto and the Queen.
They had both came to an agreement earlier that morning that the Hokage should be notified about her and the slowly growing colony.
So there Naruto sat in front of the old Hokage nervously twiddling his thumbs.
"Shouldn't you be in class right now Naruto?" the Hokage said around the wooden pipe in his mouth.
"I have something that I have to tell you about. Well, show is more like it." Naruto said as he shifted out of his seat.
Sarutobi looked down at the young blond strangely before getting up. "Sure why not."
"If it's not too much to ask, could you have an Anbu or two, preferably the captain, and an interrogator-nin or two, preferably the head." Naruto said not making eye contact with the old man.
Raising an eyebrow, Sarutobi once again gave Naruto a strange look. Nodding in consent the old Hokage summoned the requested people.
"Now will you show us whatever it is that you have been hiding?" Sarutobi asked looking down at the blond.
Naruto gave a sharp nod before turning on his heel and leading the ninjas towards his lair.
"May I ask why is it that we are going to training grounds #44?" Ibiki the head Interrogator said when it became apparent that was their destination.
"You'll see." Naruto said as he continued walking.
They arrived at the forest of death in no time at all and the older shinobi were slightly shocked at the fact a mere academy student could break into the deadly training grounds.
"Naruto-kun, do you come here often?" The Hokage asked as the young boy expertly maneuvered through the forest.
"Yes, it's one of the only places where I can feel safe." Naruto stated walking calmly through the forest. "After all there's no real hatred in a forest, just the primal instinct of survival of the fittest." he quoted as if he were told that very fact a lot throughout his short life time.
The five older Nins exchanged pointed looks at that quote; all worrying on where it was that the young blond heard it.
"Here we are." Naruto said breaking the older Nins from their thoughts. "This is the quickest way to get where we're going."
"If you don't mind me asking, where is it that we are going." The dog masked Anbu asked peering down into the slightly visible hole.
Naruto shifted nervously, "I ask that you please not attack anything that you find inside." Naruto said ignoring the question.
The older shinobi looked alarmed, "Naruto what's down there." Sarutobi asked as he felt the others tense up.
Naruto didn't answer, merely turning and jumping down the whole.
"So do we go in after him?" The Anbu captain asked looking at the hole that the young Jinchuuriki disappeared in.
"Yes, call back up. Tell them that if they don't hear word from us after five hours to gather every able body shinobi and storm the place." Sarutobi said hoping that they wouldn't need that.
"Well I'll go first." the dog masked Anbu said as he walked over to the hole and slid down.
"Me next." Ibiki said as he followed the Anbu.
Turning to the Captain of Anbu Sarutobi nodded, "Come down when my orders have been completed."
Sarutobi disappeared through the hole after seeing his head of Anbu nod his understanding. He slid down the sloping and curling tunnel for about fifteen minutes before arriving at the medium sized cave with five tunnels branching off from it, two on his left and right sides and one straight ahead.
He noted that his companions were there too waiting for the last of their group to arrive.
Finally after awhile of waiting the Anbu captain joined them.
"Okay everyone, please stay close it's easy to get lost here if you're not careful." Naruto said making his way through one of the tunnels.
He led them expertly through the tunnels making sure everyone stayed together.
"So Naruto was it, if you don't mind me asking what is it you wanted to show us?" The dog masked Anbu questioned casually.
Naruto didn't reply much to the curiosity and suspicion of the older shinobi.
Finally after what felt like hours, which was only about thirty-five minutes, they arrived into another large cavern.
It was covered in a glowing moss and had a total of eight tunnels including the one they had just came from.
That however was not what held the five shinobi's attention, for standing towards the back of the large cavern was a creature that they had never seen before.
"What the hell is that?" The other interrogator said his eyes going wide.
"This is the Queen." Naruto said motioning to her from his spot of halfway to the strange creature and the older ninjas.
"Naruto, what is she?" Sarutobi said warily not taking his eyes away from the creature.
It was huge standing about twenty feet, its body was sleek and black and it had a huge head that ended in a crest. It had a really long and powerful tail that ended in a deadly looking tip. It had two sets of arms and appeared to have no eyes on its sleek head.
"Well her race has been called Xenomorph." Naruto said as the Queen walked towards him.
The ninjas tensed not knowing what to expect, and were slightly shocked when she merely nuzzled the young blond letting out purr like hisses.
"Well then," Sarutobi began gather his wits about him, "What was the reason for bringing us down here?"
"For a business proposal." Naruto started stroking the Queen's head thoughtlessly.
"What kind of business proposal?" The Anbu captain said with suspicion in his voice.
"Well I'm sure that there are some enemy nins that may come in that are hard to interrogate. Or ones that are too dangerous to keep in jail." Naruto started walking back with the Queen to the back wall and making himself comfortable.
The other shinobi followed warily making sure to keep their distances.
"There are those that you have described." Ibiki said calmly still keeping a wary eye on the Xenomorph.
"We propose that you give those troublesome ninjas to us." Naruto motioned to himself and the Queen.
"Why, what will you do?" Inu, the dog masked Anbu, asked.
"Well I guess we can show you." the Queen let out a loud shriek after the blond finished talking.
The ninjas jumped at that not knowing what will happen next. They were surprised when four more of the creatures walked in dragging something.
They were smaller than the Queen, standing at seven feet, and did not have a crest on their heads.
Two had dragged in one body each, one was an enemy spy and the other was a wolf. While the other two carried in what looked like eggs.
"Let me go you monstrous creature!" the shinobi yelled as he twisted and turned every which way. The Xenomorph's grip however stayed true.
"These, are Warriors." Naruto said as he waved to the creatures. "And those are eggs." he pointed to the two Xenomorphs holding the eggs.
"How will this help with interrogation?" the younger interrogator-nin asked, doubt clear in his voice.
"You'll see." Naruto said as he walked away from the Queen and up to the captive.
"I need you to tell me, who sent you?" Naruto said as he stared the shinobi in the eyes.
"Where are my comrades?" the shinobi yelled out instead of answering.
"Where are you from?"
"Like I'll answer a little brat like you." Naruto's eyes narrowed at that and, as if they were reacting to the young blonde's anger, the Warriors hissed allowing their second jaw to come out and snap at the man.
The man flinched back, "Like I'm scared of some brat and his monsters." the man said confidently even as his body trembled.
"Well obviously we're going to have to do this the hard way." Naruto said looking at the Queen from over his shoulder.
The shinobi all watched as she raised her head and made clicking noises. The sound of dragging was heard, and was revealed to be another Xenomorph.
This one resembled the Warriors closely only it was bigger and bulkier. It too was dragging an enemy Nin with it.
This one had a spider like creature clamped tightly onto his face. The creature had a long spiny tail that was wrapped tightly around the guy's neck.
The first enemy shinobi gasped, "What the hell is that thing? What is it doing to my partner?" the man yelled in distress.
"That, is a Hive Warrior." Naruto said ignoring the captured ninja and looking over to his audience. "And that spidery looking creature is a Facehugger." He took a couple of steps back and motioned for the Hive Warrior to place the man with the Facehugger in-between him and the other captive.
"Oi, answer my question! What the hell did you do to him?" The capture man said as he renewed his struggles in the Warriors hold.
They all watched as the tail around the man's neck loosened and the Facehugger dropped to the ground dead.
"HA, whatever that thing was its dead now!" The captured man said as he smirked down at Naruto.
"Where am I?" the previously unconscious man said.
"Hello, are you ready to tell me where you're from?" Naruto asked with a bright smile. He took a couple of steps back as the man got to his feet.
"I'll kill you!" the man said rushing towards the blond.
The Konoha shinobi were preparing to attack the man when a long green tail stopped them. They all looked over to find the Hive Warrior watching what was happening.
"I think it wants us to just watch." Inu said as he turned back to the two. The others soon followed suit.
They were just in time to see the guy grab his chest and collapse right in front of Naruto.
"What the hell is happening to me?" the guy screamed out as he curled up into a ball.
Naruto kicked the man onto his back, watching with calm eyes as the man screamed and jerked violently.
"What the hell did you do to him you little demon!" the other guy yelled in a panicked voice.
The man convulsing on the floor gave one last loud scream before everyone heard a loud wet tearing sound.
They all watched in slight shock and morbid fascination as a baby Hive Warrior burst out of the bloody hole that was the man's chest.
"Aw aren't you precious." Naruto said as he went and picked up the bloody little creature.
The Konoha shinobi watched as Naruto took the baby first to the Queen then to one of the Warriors with the eggs. They watched as he exchanged the baby for the egg and set the egg by the body. They watched still lightly numb with shock as the Hive Warrior disappeared with the carcass and returned a little while later empty handed. They watched as the egg opened with a squelch and another Facehugger came out.
Naruto grabbed the Facehugger before it could clamp itself onto the scared man's face. "So will you tell me who sent you?"
"Tsuchikage. We were sent by the Tsuchikage." the man said his voice quivering greatly. He had turned a pasty white color and his eyes were much too wide as they focused solely on the Facehugger.
"Damn Iwagakure!" Ibiki cursed under his breath. "Why were you sent?" the scarred man demanded as he stalked over to the pasty man.
The captive held silent as his to wide eyes looked over to the head Interrogator.
"Answer the man's question." Naruto said waving the Facehugger in front of the Iwa-nin's.
The man swallowed audibly, "He wanted us to find weaknesses in Konoha's defenses so that he could attack. He said that you guys were still weak from the Kyuubi attack even though it's ten years later."
Ibiki nodded his head signaling that he was finished. Moving back to the Hokage and the other Konoha ninjas he watched what would happen next.
"I have one more question, is this an effective way of interrogating someone?" Naruto asked as he lovingly stroked the Facehugger wrapped around his hand.
"Yes most effective." The Iwa-nin said looking to pale and nodding to many times and to fast in a jerking like motion.
"Good." With that said Naruto held his arm out and allowed the Facehugger to jump from him and clamp onto the terrified shinobi.
Naruto turned away from the struggling man as the Warrior began to drag him away. "Do you need another show?" the young shinobi in training asked as he motioned to the wolf on the floor.
"No that should be fine. And I agree that the method is quite sound." Sarutobi began as he watched the last two Warriors disappear also, leaving only the Queen and the Hive Warrior. "However how do we know if they would not start attacking the villager's or ally shinobi or even our own shinobi?"
"They only attack who I say to attack. Their form of communication between the hive members is mostly telepathic. It's kind of hard to explain but it's more like the knowledge just appears in your brain without words or pictures. Though I have learned that I can send words and pictures down that link if I so please."
"Telepathic? But the Queen summoned the Warriors by screeching." Inu said curiously.
"I said mostly telepathic, they do have a 'spoken' language as well. Besides she was merely putting on a show for you guys, she really didn't need to make a sound for them to have come." Naruto said with amusement in his tone.
"Well it's settled then, I still want to talk to you about the details but I don't see a problem in what you asked." The Hokage said as they all began to follow Naruto out of the caves.
