Blue Moon Howling
A/N: Hi, do to popular demand I decided to update. Hope you like
Chapter six
Naruto slowly opened his eyes to the bright morning sun. He stared straight up at the slow moving clouds in the blue sky. His body was sore all over; he didn't want to move. He slowly got into the sitting position. Once he was sitting up he grabbed both his ribs to hold in the sore pain. The full moon had been more intense then he could have ever dreamed.
His white bangs fell over his eyes as he looked around. He stood and walked over to his sword and trench coat that he had placed there before the transformation. Even though he never fully changed his body still would grow in size tearing his shirt and pants. Naruto stared on at the quiet seen of the decimated training area. A gentle breeze blew across his face and he relaxed.
Naruto's ears perked up at the sound of footsteps behind him. He turned around and found the legendary medic-nin behind him.
"What do you want?" he asked weary from the night before.
"I would like to make a deal with you." said Tsunade. Naruto turned around fully and stared at her. Tsunades eyes widened slightly at the sight of his scared chest. "I saw that you knew the Rasengan."
"It's in the developing stage still, why do you mention it?" asked Naruto. A smile played on the Sannin's lips.
"I want to make a bet." she said. Naruto raised an eyebrow. "I watched you and I have considered going with you to Konoha to become your Hokage."
Naruto stared at her a little surprised. "Oh is that so." said Naruto.
"Yes, but only if you win the bet." she said.
Naruto smiled thinking of his luck in these sorts at the situation. "Okay, what' s the bet?" he asked.
"Simple, master the Rasengan by the end of this week." she said smiling. Naruto's face faltered slightly thinking of the bet. He gave her a confident smirk.
"Fine, deal." said Naruto.
"And to make it a little more interesting for you if you win you also get my necklace." she said taking out a crystal attached around her neck. Naruto nodded in confirmation. Tsunade walked away leaving him to train.
"So let me get this straight, you'll come back with us no matter what." said Jiraiya.
"That's correct, I only wanted to see what the kid is capable of." said Tsunade. "And if he wins I know that he will not fall pray to this curse." She said that holding up her necklace. Shizune gave a small gasp.
"Tsunade-sama you didn't say you'd give him that did you." asked the stunned young med-nin. "What if its curse follows him."
"I…I want to believe in him." said Tsunade. She started thinking of the boy as he howled in pain the night before. Yet he still continued on. "I know he'll do it."
"Your right." said Jiraiya looking up. "If he truly wants to become Hokage then he'll do it."
Naruto stood in the center of the training field panting heavily. Sweat streamed down every part of him. His white hair had fallen forward over his face making it go in messy spikes downward. He stuck his palm in front of him and braced it with his other. He started gathering chakra, and when he thought he had a sufficient amount he took his hand off his wrist and started to use it to form the necessary ball.
He got it but it was the same as always the flow was to chaotic to form it properly. He then decided to try a new method he put both of his hand together and tried to create the ball in between. He slowly started to spread his hands apart and to his immense surprise a Rasengan was forming. He studied it carefully for some reason it wouldn't get any bigger.
He definitely would have to work on this…
"The deadline is almost up aren't you supposed to see Orochimaru tomorrow?" asked the pervert.
"Yes, and hopefully Naruto will be done by then." she said. "Can I count on you in battle?"
"Do you even need to ask." said Jiraiya. "We'll be fine and if anything you'll get rid of one of Konoha's biggest threats as your first act of Hokage."
Tsunade laughed slightly at this, tomorrow was the day but for right now.
"Bring us more saki!" she shouted out to the waiter.
"Orochimaru-sama it's time." said Kabuto. Orochimaru nodded and the two headed for the designated meeting spot. Already waited there were Tsunade and her young charge.
"Have you decided?" asked the snake.
"I have." she said bluntly.
"And…what is your decision?" asked Orochimaru. Tsunades hands started to glow green with her chakra as she began to walk forward. Orochimaru gave one of his disgusting smiles as he made his way towards her as well.
Just as she brought her hands forward to his arms, they turned into a fist. Orochimaru's eyes widened as he leaned back slightly to lessen the blow as he was struck by one of her godly punches.
Orochimaru was sent flying across the field. "Orochimaru-sama!" shouted out Kabuto as he jumped to his master's side. Before he said anything Kabuto bit Orochimaru's thumb and smeared it across the tattoo on his arm. A huge poof of smoke came into view as the giant snake Manda came into view.
"Orochimaru." said Manda. "You will give me as many sacrifices as I require for later."
"Very well will these do for starters." said Orochimaru gesturing towards their opponents. Manda gave whatanyone wouldguess would be a nod. Before he could strike though Jiraiya appeared on top of Gambunta.
"Well Jiraiya when this is all done you, me and the kid are all going to have some saki." said the toad boss.
"Jiraiya how unexpected." said Orochimaru. Kabuto jumped off the perch that was Manda's head to the ground. He landed in front of Shizune before she could react he had cut her leg ligaments with his chakra scalpels. Tsunade grabbed a hold of Shizune and jumped away.
Kabuto jumped towards Tsunade, she dodged and threw a tremendous punch. Kabuto just narrowly escaped from the blow. It landed on the ground shattering it as the punch went. Kabuto stared wide-eyed at the force behind the blow.
Tsunade kept throwing blow for blow Kabuto barley escaped each hit. The Sanin could see the look of panic in his eyes as they fought. Tsunade brought her foot down only to have him grab it. She could see he used all his strength to stop the blow, but he still managed to cut the leg ligament in her foreleg. She kicked him with her other foot and sent him flying with the hit to the jaw.
She tried to stand on that leg but it was no good. To her immense surprise Kabuto was already getting up after he took a hit from her. His body was glowing with chakra as he healed himself. He took out a soldier pill and popped it into his mouth. The effect was instant as he looked fresh and ran towards her.
Tsunade didn't have enough time to concentrate on her wound to heal it, as the young silver haired med-nin descended upon her. Before either of them new what was going on a huge white wolf hybrid made its way in between them. He sank his teeth deep into Kabuto's shoulder. Both of them stood frozen in front of Tsunade.
Kabuto gave a small grunt of pain. "Ah, Naruto-kun so nice of you to join us." said Kabuto in an almost mocking way. The wolf just gave a low growl for its response. Kabuto tried to free himself but the jaw held tight, he couldn't even move his arms as the wolf had his hands securely on those.
Naruto looked over at Tsunade, and she instantly knew he was telling her to watch. The hybrid put his clawed hands together and slowly started to spread them apart. Both the med-nins present eyes widened, as the Rasengan was form in between the hands.
Naruto slammed the ball of chakra into the nin's stomach and the full effects of the Rasengan took place. Kabuto was blasted across the field on and huge ball of energy spinning wildly. He finally slammed into a boulder and crashed.
Naruto starred at him as he slowly rose. Despite the boys amazing healing abilities he was still coughing up blood and collapsed. He didn't pass out but he was unable to move.
Orochimaru evaluated the situation and immediately knew he had to run. The tactic was fairly simple as he replaced himself with a mud clone and grabbed Kabuto with his tongue and disappeared in a flash. Manda also disappeared in a poof of smoke.
"Damn." said Jiraiya. Dismissing Gambunta in an instant. He looked down at the wolf and saw the familier red chakra sweep across its neck. The beast turned back into Naruto and toeveryone's surprise a naked one.
Shizune was blushing and looking away franticly. Tsunade just busted out laughing at the situation. Naruto took off a pack no one saw he had brought with and took out his cloths. He then put them on.
Jiraiya just starred at him. "What, I didn't feel like ruining more of my cloths when I change." said Narutro honestly.
"WELL NEXT TIME WATCH WHO YOU CHANGE IN FRONT OF!" shouted a still blushing Shizune. Naruto rubbed the back of his head and gave a sheepish grin.
"Sorry." said Naruto with a smile. "Hey I win the necklace thing right?"
Tsunade smiled. And then punched the ground it cracked below Naruto and he lost his balance. Before he could react Tsunade was in front of him fist raised he closed his eyes and waited for the pain. All he felt was something warm on his forehead. He opened his eyes and saw she was kissing it. She backed away with a smile and came down to eye level with him and placed the necklace around his neck.
"Yep, it's yours now." she said kindly.
The trip back was rather uneventful, and it wasn't long before the approached the gates of Konoha. When the Anbu guard saw them coming they instantly opened the gate.
"Welcome back Jiraiya-sama, Tsunade-sama." said the Anbu. "The council is expecting you." Both the Sannin nodded and were about to be on their way when Tsunade noticed another Anbu sending a cold glare Naruto's way. As she walked past him she stopped.
"If I catch you sending another cold glare his way I'll make sure as your new Hokage to have you relieved of duty." she said the threat in an icy tone that would have frozen anyone solid.
"Well we have to go now, we'll see you later." said Jiraiya as he and Tsunade disappeared. Shizune went off towards the hospital as she said she would try to find work. Naruto on the other hand went towards his favorite ramen stand.
"Well as I live and breath Naruto great to see you." said the old man as he entered the stand. Several heads perked up at the mentionof the name. Naruto looked on and to his surprise the entire rookie nine was there including Gai's team.
"Naruto where have you been?" shouted out Kiba being the first one to walk forward.
"I had a mission." said Naruto. "We got a new Hokage."
Sasuke who was in a seat near by scuffed at this. "Why would they give a dobe like you a mission so important." said Sasuke trying to get a rise out of him. To everyone's immense surprise Naruto just turned around and looked at the sky.
"You know I've been wondering the same thing." said Naruto a little absent-mindedly. He walked over to Sasuke and patted him on the back. "Its good that your alright though." said Naruto in all sincerity. Sasuke was completely taken surprised by this. "Sorry I didn't come to visit or anything but I'm sure that Sakura did enough for both of us."
Everybody laughed at the joke all except one worried female pink haired ninja. "Why didn't you tell us you had a mission?" asked Sakura in a slightly quiet voice.
"Sorry it caught me by surprise I had to leave immediately." said Naruto. They all talked and Naruto told them all about the mission. And finally somebody asked the question they all wanted the answer to.
"So what the deal with the wolf thing?" asked Sasuke. Everyone fell quiet listening intently. Naruto sighed.
"Well to put it bluntly I'm a werewolf." said Naruto. Everyone's eyes widened.
"You mean like those monsters in movies?" said Ino slightly scared. Naruto sighed again and looked down.
"Yeah." He said quietly. Ino looked down.
"Oh sorry I just said it kinda….I didn't mean…your not a monster." said Ino. Naruto looked up and smiled at everyone.
"Thanks." said Naruto.
"How did you become one." said Sasuke with determination in his eyes. Naruto was beyond surprised at the look in his eyes.
"Sasuke!" said Naruto slamming his hand on the counter this caught everyone's attention. "I know you want to kill him but doing this to yourself is not worth it."
Everyone fell silent. "But to answer your question I was bitten when I was seven." said Naruto. "For some reason it didn't take effect on me, but when we fought Orochimaru in the forest he released it"
The mood was completely killed some were surprised at what apparently Sasuke had suggested. "Well enough of this what happened while I was gone?" asked Naruto. And once again the mood was back as they all told him their own stories. As teams Gai and eight left it was soon just team seven and ten. Both exited together.
Naruto wrapped his arms over both his teammates shoulders and slumped on them. "Hey guys were friends right." said Naruto to both his team and team ten. All of them thought about it.
"Well yeah I guess so…why?" asked Ino.
"Well I was just thinking we could all do something like this again sometime." said Naruto. "You know have team Gai and eight and we all just talk it was fun."
"Sure I just assumed we would do that stuff anyway." said Shikimaru yawning.
"Naruto….are you okay." said Sakura in a whisper to his ear.
"Yeah Sakura…why?" asked Naruto. He looked at her and she seemed hurt by something.
"Uhh…no reson." said Sakura. "he doesn't call me –chan any more." Thought Sakura sadly.
In a dark room sat a figure on a throne he was old with a beard to the ground and even though he was sitting he was leaning forward on a cane. "So you found a white-fur." said the old man in a kind voice to one of the two cloaked figures.
"Yes…but there is something different about him, we need to capture him." said the cloaked figure with red-eyes.
"Jin…we do not force others into the pack…they come because no one excepts us." said the old man. "If he is excepted there then we must leave him be."
"Elder!" said the Jin. "There is something different we must capture him…he is dangerous… I have no doubt that he will kill everyone in that village."
The elder sat back in his seat with his eyes slightly wide." Do you really believe that?" he asked. Jin nodded. "Is he so dangerous that he must be captured…then fine but don't harm him bring him here so I can see for myself."
"Elder…I know this sounds so strange but you must let me keep him in holding and study him." said Jin. The elder was once again shocked.
"Can you explain your reasoning?" asked the elder.
"He is affected in a strange way by the disease." said Jin. "He is a curiosity, I just ask that you trust me for all my years of service."
The Elder nodded. "Very well, we have struggled as a pack without an Alpha to lead us." said the Elder. "And in that time you have always done what was right for the pack."
The figure bowed and no one could see but a sick grin formed on his face under his hood. "fool the power of the Alpha will be mine." He thought
As they exited the Elders chamber the second figure spoke. "Brother why did you not tell him that he was an Alpha." she said raising her voice.
"Kira…as my sister I am trusting you to keep quiet." said Jin. Kira took a step back.
"But…the pack…" she trailed off.
"Everything that I do will be for the pack trust me." said Jin. Kira nodded. "Now go see our little brother Koda…I'm sure he's missed you."
And with that she disappeared. "Nothing will stand in my way of obtaining that power…nothing." And with that he faded into darkness.
A/N: well there you go. This is going to start getting very AV real soon. I will try to update. Oh and incase you haven't noticed I took away the time limit for Naruto. It is now based on his emotions like how control he can stay depending on how strong willed he is at the time like if he isn't tired or what not.
