Ungai and Naruto were walking back to his secluded temple in the forest. Ungai in front while Naruto followed carrying a few of the monks still unconscious with his tails, and keeping his privates covered too. the three that were awake were walking behind Naruto in fear of his presence, each wearing a different color.
"hey why do I have to carry these guys huh" Naruto whined.
"because you are the ones who knocked them out" Ungai replied without looking back.
"I don't remember touching them" he pouted crossing his arms over his bare chest.
"demon you assaulted us with your tails, we felt it ourselves" one monk in grey said angrily behind him.
"really?" Naruto said with his hand on his chin
He put a tail in front his face and stared at it curiously. It was a new, but strangely natural feeling controlling his tails, just like if he wanted to move his fingers, the tails responded immediately.
But could theses things act on there own he shook his tail left and right repeatedly staring at it entranced.
"don't you wonder why master Ungai would tolerate such a thing" the red robed monk whispered to the others.
"no, the answer is obvious. Master subjugated the demon to his will, an astounding feat" a young and cheerful looking monk in blue said.
"yes truly, but I do wish we could have done something when master was in need" the one in grey said hanging his head low in shame.
"it was out of our hands, only one as experienced as master could done anything in our positions" the red one comforted him.
Now Naruto was fiddling with his ears as he heard every word spoken between the monks as if standing right next to him, they looked a lot like the ears the nine tailed fox had, so in other words any longer and he'd have bunny ears, he tried moving them up and down continuously. Up, down, up, down, up, down, up.
"besides its this demon who's really to blame" the blue monk glared at the back of Naruto's head.
Up, down, up, down, up, down, up
"yes its all that demon's fault for attacking" grey rose from shame and stared in anger along with the other monks beside him.
Up, down, up, down, up, down, up
Naruto moved on to his…paws now, nope it feels pretty much the same as when he had human feet, the new limps were quite odd when you think about it, he's only had them for an hour at the most.
Up, down, up, down, up, dow--stop twitch, twitch
The multicolor monks in the back continued to whisper degrading things of the evil monster walking in front of them, until Naruto stopped suddenly causing the group stop and look at him oddly.
"Naruto…" the blond demon said vaguely.
"what" Ungai turned and spoke for the first time in a while.
"my name is Naruto Uzumaki, remember it" Naruto repeated, then turned around glaring at the monks behind him fiercely.
"use it and never just call me 'demon' again. Do you hear me baldies" he growled bearing fangs to them. The group backed up quickly scared for being heard, but one braver one defiantly spoke up.
"w-well w-we have n-names too" red one stuttered horribly.
"Akamaru" the red monk.
"Aoi" the blue monk.
"Gureimaru" the grey monk.
Ironic, they're names matched the color they were wearing, did they do that on purpose or did the-- what did it matter, back to playing with his tails.
"uuugggghhh" Naruto heard one the people he was carrying groan.
The man opened his eyes, blinking a few times to wish away the dizziness of being unconscious, and saw that he was being held captive by the beast that attacked his master.
"AAAAAHHHH" he screamed and struggled in the tails grasp, but didn't have to for long as Naruto dropped him ungracefully to the ground almost immediately.
He crawled away backwards using his hands and feet to push himself, all the while whimpering and staring at Naruto like a deer caught in the headlights. Akamaru, Aoi, and Gureimaru helped him up and kept him from running.
"it's okay Koushoku, Master Ungai has subjugated the demon" Aoi told him.
"Naruto. you bastard" the blond told him. mmm? yellow, Another color name
"and its name is Naruto…please use it" Aoi added at the end a little quickly.
"ah yes nothing less from master Ungai" Koushoku said calming down.
They continued the way in relative silence, Naruto; amusing himself with his fuzzy limbs, Ungai walking without a word, and the three, now four monks travel in silence so not to anger the blond.
They finally made it to the temple a middle sized wooden shack. not poor, but not extravagant in any way. it had things around it identifying it as a monks temple, there were harvest fields to the side where some people were farming. in the sunlight and total quiet it looked like a very peaceful place with nothing happening.
Upon arrival the groups were bombarded with students, for a few seconds before they backed away in disgust at seeing Naruto among the fray, not only because of his breed, but also him being naked.
"what is this master, a de--" Akamaru covered the man's mouth with his hand.
"yes everyone, master has captured this de…HIM and bent him to his will. There is no need to panic master has this all under control" Gureimaru announced, hinting at not calling naruto a demon, Akamaru took his hand back from the guy's mouth.
"it is true, his name is Naruto he will stay with us for short time in exchange for doing the menial chores, giving you all more time focus on more important duties" Ungai said, some looked unsure but look from him(which was always a glare) silenced them.
"come take these men and lay them down they aren't injured so there no need to worry" a few guys took the acolytes off Naruto's han-- tails.
"tend to Naruto's needs as you would anyone else…and get him something to wear" Ungai rubbed his eyes as if trying to get rid of a migraine, he had actually done it a few times since meeting Naruto.
"I must go and…look into something" and with that left. I'm going to need insurance, I'll prepare a sealing method should this demon try anything
"here" Aoi handed him a white pair of pants and a robe.
"here" Akamaru handed him a scroll.
"here" Gureimaru handed him a bucket and mop.
"whats all this" Naruto asked
"its your clothes" Aoi said.
"the list of chores" Akamaru said
"where you start" Gureimaru said.
And wih that done, all three left Naruto to toil by himself, while they worked to become better monks.
"WHAT ALREADY, BUT WHAT ABOUT EATING FIRST" Naruto was shocked. To start slaving away first thing upon arrival.
"lunch isn't until noon, so till then work" Koushoku said while leaving.
"w-wait when's noon" Naruto asked.
"about an hour from now" Naruto stomached decided to growl at that moment.
"well I better get going. things to do" Koushoku nervously said in hurry to leave. Why, Naruto didn't know, maybe he thought Naruto would eat him given the chance.
Naruto looked around a noticed the area empty with him the only one there. He sighed these monks moved quick when leaving. he put on the clothes handed to him, and couldn't help but feel these pants were too…puffy, and the robe…oversized, like a big jacket, but he could deal with it, though something hairy was prodding him.
oops forgot to make a hole for the tails
Naruto opened the scroll containing the chores he had to do in order to get at least some sort of schedule of what to do and when to do it, he pulled the paper to look at the list. And pulled. And pulled. And pulled…and pulled again, and again, and again, and so on, and so on, and so on, the paper piled higher, and higher, and higher, till it was up to his neck.
"hmmm this…could take a while" he gulped at the amount of work he'd have to do. aww man I'll never get all this done…unless
Five monks were meditating outside, in the calm summer air. Naruto walked by them carrying grain from the fields. they were trying to find inner peace, harness their spiritual power. Naruto walked by again carrying a wet mop. It was a necessary task to protect themselves from the evils of the world. Naruto walked by once more with a giant pot. It was also to strengthen the mind from the avarice and sinful pleasures of the world. Two Naruto's walked by one carrying water, the other carrying a broom, the monks open they're eyes after Naruto(s) passed, looking each direction they went in, confused.
"so you managed to finish up each task in only twenty minutes" an elderly monk with eye brows so big and fuzzy they covered his eyes completely, Oroku; a priest, and the headman of the temple.
"impressive" he said.
"yeah, yeah now can I eat please" Naruto practically pleaded, nearly drooling.
"of course, you've earned it" the old man told him where to go.
Naruto got to what would be called the mess hall and saw children there, with a couple of adults among them, but what caught his eye was Ungai, affectionately petting a little boy's head, and even more surprising he wasn't glaring at all. In fact Naruto could see almost a ghost of a smile on the man.
"yes young one you can grow up to be a great priest one day" Ungai told the kid, the ghost of a smile becoming a little more apparent, until he felt something inhuman close by, and was frowning once again.
The children were shoved off away from them. Some looked back to stare at the strange blond demon with Ungai.
"so you like kids huh" Naruto asked rubbing the back of his head.
"indeed" Ungai nodded.
"I didn't take you for a guy like that…I thought you were just obsessed with…monk stuff"
"children, are our future" Ungai said "as a monk I have sworn an oath to celibacy, but I still do admire the miracle that is children"
"what is celibacy" Naruto asked.
"life without marriage or intercourse" he answered.
"and what is--"
"sex" Ungai deadpanned before he finished, he sighed afterwards in annoyance. And looked at Naruto. He did approve of his living here, he might as well get to the reason.
"what are your thoughts on humans" he asked out of the blue.
"huh?…well…humans are fine…I guess" he was human after all.
"don't you demons hate us"
"well I…can't speak for every demon, but I don't"
"do you think humans and demons could coexist"
Naruto thought about that one, he doesn't know what kind of demon problems this world has, but demons are demons no matter where you are.
"no…demons will end thinking they're superior no matter what, and humans will degrade demons regardless, maybe not all, but enough that's what counts" he had his hand under his chin, nodding to himself thinking that was the right thing to say. The superior thing had come from his personal meetings with the nine tailed fox.
"hm?" the monk grunted.
"in all honesty I think it would be better if demons didn't exist…not with humans at least. Monsters born with the power to destroy, that's…unbalanced in a world of…powerless humans" Naruto spoke slowly and unsurely as if fumbling with the right words to say. His voice was getting lower and he started looking at the ground.
He looks…sad, could a demon really believe it's own kind shouldn't live in the some world as humans, and even considers them evil to a certain degree, will wonders never cease
"it seems the world isn't just black and white" Ungai muttered to himself.
"what" Naruto heard him clearly but didn't understand
"demons are monsters born to destroy you say"
"…yes. They are" Naruto said still looking at the ground.
"even you"
"……yes…even me" Naruto looked down at his clawed hand and clinched them. He was still staring at the ground with an vague look on his face, Ungai couldn't place.
here comes more boring stuff, but I'll get to his eventual meeting with inuyasha and pals...maybe not specifically them, but i want to give him a solid reason other than conveniently landing near them, if anything I'll have him meet naraku first
