When the Tailed Beasts are in control and we say 'Kurama', 'Shukaku' and 'Matatabi', we mean they are talking through the bodies of 'Naruto', 'Gaara' and 'Sakura'
Chapter NINE
Now that the tailed Beasts were in control, none of the adults could act rashly as a small move could make them feel threatened, and a Jinchuriki rampage x 3 was not something Tsunade wanted to deal with right now.
To their surprise and relief, Shukaku did not leap for Kurama, the Nine tailed Demon's throat. He looked like he wanted to, but was restraining himself.
However, both the fox and the raccoon were eyeing each other suspiciously, as if expecting an attack any second. Finally, Matatabi stepped forwards. "Hello, Kurama." She said, sounding polite as always. "We mean you no threat."
Kurama nodded slowly, still glancing at Shukaku. "What is your purpose here?"
"A few...snake problems." Matatabi murmured so that no one could hear.
Kurama nodded in understanding. "Ah, I though it was something along those lines."
"So, for now, can we form a no violence policy between the three of us?" Matatabi asked. Shukaku looked ready to protest, but Matatabi glared at him and he stopped.
Kurama narrowed his eyes. "And why is that?" He asked. "As far as I remember, Shukaku over here was not very fond of his host."
Shukaku scoffed.
"I am pretty fond of mine, thank you very much." Matatabi said. "And as far as I am concerned, Kura-chan can beat the blonde boy of yours."
Kurama slowly nodded, then raised his hand even more slowly. "Very well."
Matatabi raised her own hand and they shook hands. Shukaku looked ready to argue, but grabbed Kurama's hand nonetheless.
The Tailed Beasts nodded at each other before their chakra faded. The three Jinchuriki's bodies jerked, and they all collapsed.
For a second, no one moved, then Sakura was sitting up, clutching her head.
Tsunade suspected the girl's quick recovery had something to do with her chakra control.
Said girl blinked and glanced around. Her eyes landed on Gaara, and Sakura was getting to her feet. She stumbled a couple of times but she managed to reach her brother's side. Sakura gave his shoulder a shake. Gaara's eyes fluttered open.
Second later, Naruto let out a groan and he too, sat up.
The Nine tails container smiled sheepishly. "Guess that makes us allies." He said.
The rest of the students avoided the Jinchuriki Demon twins to the best of their abilities. After all, Naruto was already very well known, and was the type of person everyone wanted to be friends with. After all, who didn't want to befriend the famous Namikaze Minato's son? Sasuke walked beside his friend, shooting the twins a glance once in a while.
Naruto didn't seem any different, apart from the fact that he was now walking a few steps in front of the Jinchuriki twins. A few students approached him and tried to warn him about the twins, but Naruto good naturally shook them off.
Neither Gaara nor Sakura were paying attention to the loud as ever blonde and the quiet as ever raven. They were both too busy wondering what was going to happen to them after Sasori found out that they had blown their cover on the first day.
After all, they were pretty sure their classmates were going to tell everyone the moment they got the chance. They could already see a few of the students from other classes and grades shuffling away from them as they approached. At least the twins were already used to it.
The only piece of reassurance they had was the fact that the children may not be smart enough to link the names 'Shukaku' and 'Matatabi' to the One and Two Tailed Demons.
They were known to be two of the most dangerous and blood thirsty Demons, especially if they were together.
Sasuke and the three Jinchuriki were the last to reach their third lesson, Ninjutsu in gym 3.
Their teacher was Iruka , who was also their homeroom teacher.
Iruka smiled and directed the twins towards a set of empty seats near the front. Sakura could smell some recent scents coming from the wooden chairs. Iruka must have moved some of the students so that he could keep an eye on them.
Sakura narrowed her eyes. She had no intentions of going on a Jinchuriki rampage. But if she did, even the famous copy-nin, no matter how strong he was, would be able to stop her. After all, if she decided to do something, Gaara would be right behind her.
Iruka started the class by explained that the ninjutsu class would be taught by a number of different teachers, since everyone had a different style and he wasn't confident in teaching someone something which was not his forte.
Iruka then asked the students if they had remembered the hand signs he had asked them to learn as homework. He walked around the class one by one as the students stumbled over the twelve basic seals
Gaara watched the blonde girl, Ino, stumble over her fingers and Iruka sighed at her, saying something about this being the fifth time.
Gaara wondered whether he or Sakura was better at ninjutsu. Yes, style wise, Sakura had the advantage as he was a Futon user while Sakura was a Katon user.
On the other hand, Sakura rarely used ninjutsu while Gaara used it as his main source of attack and defense. He had way more experience and all the ninjutsu Sakura used had been guided by Matatabi in one way or the other.
Before he knew it, Iruka was in front of him. He smiled. Before he could say anything, Gaara spoke.
"I don't need hand signs." He said.
Iruka signed and massaged his temple. "Well, just show me so that I know you know them."
Gaara narrowed his eyes. Was this guy telling him what to do?
Sakura quickly stepped forward, flashing through the hand signs for Iruka in the order of the zodiac, so fast that Iruka almost couldn't keep up with his naked eye. She finished, then turned and smiled sweetly at Gaara. "I bet I'm faster than you." She said.
That did it. Gaara gritted his teeth together and flew into the hand signs. He finished just as quickly as his twin and he glared at Iruka. "Who was faster?" He asked, eyes narrowed into a dangerous glare.
Iruka stifled a chuckle. Form all the rumors and gossips he had heard, one would expect the twins to be blood thirsty and violent. It felt nice to know that even the One Tail Jinchuriki, Sabaku no Gaara, had a bit of childishness left inside him.
He glanced at Gaara and almost snatched back his previous statement. Gaara's glare was scary. Iruka suddenly remembered that Gaara and Sakura were cousins with Akasuna no Sasori. That would explain Gaara's ability to glare as Sasori's glares were well known, easily being able to rival those of Uchiha Itachi.
He turned his attention back to the twins, who were glaring at each other. He felt himself stiffen until he saw the hint of amusement in Gaara's gaze while Sakura was barely managing to hold back a giggle.
Gaara finally broke eye contact with Sakura, blinking away the stiffness. Sakura burst into laughter. Gaara sighed and placed his hand onto Sakura's hand and ruffled her hair. Sakura instantly calmed down.
Gaara promptly ignored Iruka as he made his way back to the front of the class and formally began the class.
How was that?
