Also, sorry this chapter is kinda short, but i had to cut it off so that it wasn't to big, and so tha the next xhapter was a decent length.

"Naruto, you have some explaining to do..."Sarutobi sighed. It was going to be a long afternoon.

"Umm...well, what do you want me to begin with?" Naruto asked.

"Maybe your new...appearance?" Hiashi asked, truly curious over what had happened. He had heard that demons were supposed to be particularly evil, blood hungry, beasts. Naruto, well, Naruto seemed like a goofy eight year old kid who'd had a bad life.

"Well, I got the fox ears and tails from kyuubi, but just because I got them from her doesn't make me a demon." 'Well, not a fox demon anyway.' kyuubi said. 'Kyuubi?' Naruto thought. Yes Naruto, but you not being a demon, isn't entirely true, nor is it entirely bad. You see, you have inherited fox demon blood, thus, the ears and tail. BUT, that does not mean you are a fox demon, or, entirely one anyways.

Naruto scowled slightly, trying to get what kyuubi was saying. 'So, if I'm only a half demon fox, what's the other half?' Naruto asked. 'Well. Half isn't entirely accurate either. You see Naruto, no matter what happens, you will always still be a part of your natural heritage, in your case, a human. So, normally, for a half demon, you would be half human, and half of whatever demon your parent was. kyuubi explained.

It is slightly different in your case, you see, you weren't born a half-demon, instead, you were adopted and became one. For this reason, you have fox ears and tails, to represent your heritage, so you are not truly a fox half demon, but you are a part of us. kyuubi said..Naruto thought for a moment. 'So the ears and tails just show im a part of the clan and nothing else? Naruto asked. That's correct, your fox ears still have the hearing of a human, however, the tails are functional, thus you can use them as tails. kyuubi explained. 'Ok, that explains the not being a half-demon FOX, part, but if the tails and ears are just for show, what am I half of?

'Well, this is the confusing part, sense you wouldn't be a fox demon by blood, what you will be half of will be based of your soul. kyuubi said. So, in a sense, you wont really be half of anything, because what your demon half will come from will be yourself, but, at the same time, you won't be entirely human either. Trust me on this one though kit, the less you think about it, the less it hurts your head. kyuubi said. Naruto had to agree with this, as trying to make sense of the explanation was hurting his head. 'So, how do I figure out what I'm half of? Naruto asked.

'Well, you should be able to feel a new type of Chakra within yourself, there is your blue human chakra, my red chakra which I lend you, and you should feel another chakra. Kyuubi explained. So, Naruto began to sift through his psyche, he pushed past the blue chakra, then the red, and found another chakra hidden underneath the previous two. It was a bright, luminous white.

'I found it kaa-San! Naruto shouted in his head. The kyuubi blanched slightly at the volume of her son's voice, but shrugged it off. Excellent Naruto, what you do to figure out what you take after, is force the chakra to take a shape, focus every bit of it you can find into a ball, and then concentrate on it as hard as you can, concentrate on finding it's true nature, then, when it's ready, the ball should assume the shape of whatever your demon inheritance saw in your soul. Kyuubi explained. Though, I would warn the others what your about to do and what I told you

before you do it. Kyuubi said. Naruto found that it was rather quiet and looked up (he can't see, but his eyes still move with his head, he just kind of stares past whatever he's looking at) and asked. "Why is it so quiet?"

"Well Naruto, you kind of zoned out on us there. The third said.

"You kept making these funny facial expressions like you were having a conversation. Hinata said, giggling slightly. Oh, I was talking to my kaa-san. Naruto said. Anko had a weird look on her face and said." Naruto, what do you mean? I thought I was your kaa-san? She asked. "You are, but Kyuubi is also my kaa-san, she adopted me into her family, which is why I have the ears and tails now. Naruto explained.

"So, are you a half demon?" Iruka asked, fearing for his students life if anyone found out about this. Naruto sighed, preparing to try and explain his situation. Well, I am a half-demon, but at the same time, im not a half-demon. Naruto said. "How can you be a half-demon, and not a half-demon at the same time?" Hiashi asked. If his daughter was going to be friends with a half, full, or non-demon, he wanted to know the full story.

"Well, normally, half-demons are born, not made. Naruto said. So, normally, a half demon has a human and demon or half demon parents. In my case, I had to human parents, but I was adopted into my mothers clan, which gave me my demonic half, but, I am essentially, still all human sense both my parents were human. And sense I was not born a half-demon fox, I cannot become one by just being adopted, the ears and tails just represent im part of the family, like your crest. Said Naruto, pointing at Hiashi's family crest.

But, sense I became a half-demon, from joining a demonic family, I am still a half demon, just not half of what that demon family was. So, the half-demon part of me becomes a reflection of my soul, so, technically, even though im a half demon, the demonic part is still made up of me, so im still just all Naruto. Naruto explained. Seeing the confused looks on everyone's faces, he also added. "Kaa-san also said." "The more you think about it, the more your head hurts." So, does anyone have any questions? Naruto asked.

Ano...Naruto-kun, if you aren't half-fox, what are you half of? Hinata asked. "Well, I was about to find out, but I thought I should tell you guys everything first so you didn't freak out on me or anything. Naruto said.

Naruto started to mold all his demonic chakra into a ball. I have no idea how long this will take and what will happen when im done, so you guys may want to get comfortable. Naruto said. "What are you doing anyways Naruto? Anko asked. Kyuubi said that in order to see what im half of, I need to focus my demonic chakra into a ball, then concentrate on it and force it to assume it's demonic shape, so, I guess whatever shape it forms, thats what im half of. Naruto said, still molding his chakra. Everyone got quiet so that Naruto could concentrate on what he needed to do. The Third also put up some barriers to prevent anything that happened in the room from being exposed.

An hour later, Naruto finally got all his demonic chakra into a ball, it took him a while to try and pull it up from the depths of his human chakra and kyuubi's demonic chakra and not get the Chakra's mixed. Naruto then began to focus on his chakra, willing it to take a form, he focus hard, blocking out all other distractions. The ball began to loose it's shape, it started to flex, moving left, right, up, down, every which way at once, forming into a new shape. The shape started to get more distinct. And the chakra also start to change from it's bright white, to more of a deep, majestic grey, almost black. The form finally became defined, and Naruto found himself looking at the shape of a wolf.

The Everyone's P.O.V

Naruto had been sitting on the bed with his eyes closed, and his hands in the ram form for an hour. No one had said much of anything, nor had they move much. Hiashi was wondering what would happen when the boy finally got the shape down. HE had to admit, he was curious, the boy seemed decent enough, and even if he was a half-demon, he was a half-demon based of his soul, what better judge of character could someone get than seeing a reflection of one's soul? If it was anything good, it might be nice to have Naruto in the family, possibly arrange a marriage between him and his daughter, after all, he would be strong in life, that much was certain.

Iruka was wondering how Naruto would be able to still go to school after this, he still needed an education, and of course, Iruka would miss him dearly if he wasn't at school anymore.

Anko was curious as to how Naruto and the kyuubi would play into her life. She would always be there for Naruto, that much was certain, but she considered him a son. Did he still look at her as a mother, sense the kyuubi was also his adoptive mother?

The third was busy thinking of how to cover up Naruto's new appearance, and still be able to get him to go to school. A genjutsu should work for the ears and tails, but he would have to do some serious village arrests to make a point that Naruto was a member of Konoha, and as such, shouldn't, no, WOULDN"T be segregated like that.

Hinata sat next to Naruto's bed, curious what her friend would turn out to be.(hey, she's eight, not like she's going to be contemplating much else other than that.)

Everyone's musings were cut short as Naruto began to glow, white at first, then a deep, almost blackish grey. The Chakra enveloped his whole body, a Dark grey, bushy tail replaced the three fox tails, and two canine looking ears replaced the two fox ears on his head. His canines elongated slightly, looking more fierce, and his nails grew into claws. His hair changed from the normal bright blond to a majestic grey, and grew out down to his shoulder blades. The three fox like whisker marks on his cheeks were gone. He grew slightly taller and a little more muscular, the chakra surrounding his body died down and the change was complete. Naruto opened his eyes and pronounced. "I'm half wolf."
