"Yes, that's right, three inner demons." Dokuja repeated. "Most people think that only tailed beasts exist. But their wrong. There is another branch of demons each one giving different colored chakra. I possess three of that branch: The Red Wolf, The Purple Dragon, and The Black Phoenix. Mostly those are the stronger of the Multicolor Demon Branch, Witch there is only six of that still exist. The Demons I have all give me different types of chakra that I can use at will."
Naruto was still listening, interested in how this was possible and wanted to learn more. Are there really other branches of demons out there? Naruto thought harder and harder, but still couldn't understand. Can one man have three demons in him at once? How is it possible that he has all of these demons in him but yet he doesn't feel any pain? Wouldn't they kill each other in his own body? Or are they in different parts of his body?
Whoa, Sakura thought, almost as desperately as Naruto. This guy has some serious issues in his life. No wonder he hid in the forest of death for this long. But how is it possible to contain such a force inside of him without being a living time bomb? It's really confusing...
"Hopefully this won't discomfort you, I really wish I didn't have to tell you."
"Don't worry about it." Kakashi replied. "I'm sure this doesn't change a thing. Right guys?" Each of them gave an evil stare at him simultaneously. Kakashi began to shake his fist at them. "Ehem, right guys??" Now each of them were replying positively at random, also afraid of getting slugged. "Well, there you have it. And now that this is settled, I also want to inform you that I will be training Sauske and Sauske alone for the finals. I have found a special trainer for you and Naruto as well. This way all of you will get more done in the time limit you have. Naruto will be training with Ebisu and you will be training with Hiyatai, and each will help you through your worst problems that were noticed in the preliminaries. They might even teach you a new jutsu. Well, that's about it for today. From here you are dismissed. I will see most of you in the finals."
Everyone stared home on a slow pace to get some more fresh air in they're blood. Also because they were tired after the new training exercise. Naruto soon parted in a different direction and Sauske soon after that. Soon, Sakura spoke up.
"So it's just you and I now, huh?" she questioned.
"If you don't count the beasts in me, yeah, sure." Dokuja replied, hating the burden on him.
"So where do you live?" Sakura asked another question.
"I live in the new house by the east gate. Lord Hokage is giving it to me for free and covering my taxes until I can get enough money to pay them myself. Another great reason on why Hokage are important."
"That's great!"
"Yes it is. That's what made me want to be Hokage someday as well."
"Really?"
"It may be tough at times, but it really benefits for the most part. I also heard Naruto has this same dream, doesn't he?"
"That's right!"
"Looks like I have some competition for the position."
"Don't worry; you'll make it there easy at this rate that Naruto is at right now! If he doesn't shape up he'll never make it."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that one. Naruto has been here longer than I have and has more experience in this village than I do. He'll be there some day. We both will."
"Well, since were talking like this, I have a few questions about those inner demons of yours."
"Lay them on me."
"How do they all get sealed in your body like this but not cause any pain? Wouldn't it be a war between them if they were in the same body at the same time?"
"That's a good question. You must be the mind of the group, aren't you?"
"I guess I am."
"Well, each demon has it's own sealing formula to keep it in a human's body. I guess these different series of seals are spread among the three beasts to keep them all in me and a few more seals to still keep them all separated and out of each others reach. Not able to fight each other, no pain inflicted on me, you get me?"
"I think so. So all these demons are still in your body but still out of each others reach so they can't fight each other?"
"That's what I'm thinking."
"All of this sealing stuff is confusing."
"That's why you ask me any questions you want. I'll try to answer to the best of my ability. However, I don't know everything about this yet so I can't answer everything, but I can try."
"Here's my house up ahead." Sakura pointed toward a small home on the right side of the road.
"I guess this is your stop then. If you need advice, curious about these multi-colored beasts in me, or just want to talk, drop by for a visit sometime." He handed Sakura a piece of paper with his address written on it.
"I'll be sure to do that."
"Okay, I better head home. I still have some errands to run tonight. I guess I'll see you tomorrow, depending if my sub sensei will train me tomorrow or not."
"Bye." Sakura said, waving her hand in the air.
"Get a good night's rest. You'll need it." Dokuja replied as he darted off home.
Such a nice guy, Sakura thought, watching him sprint into the setting sun.
