Title:A Fox Among Wolves
Chapter 10: Summer Days
Naruto was relaxing in the pool while Kyuubi was taking her after nap under her tree. It has been a week since the revelation and life for the blonde hanyou has never been better. Bella wasn't around so he took this time to relax and think about his plans for the coming months before school opens up for the season. Bella was in La Push with Jacob, keeping him company while fixing up his latest project, the Rabbit. How Jacob plans to turn the piece of junk into a working car he will never know. As much as he would like to spend some time with Seth, he needs to take care of a few things to make his life a little bit easier. His first order of business was to meet with the agent that took care of the construction of his house to add more rooms. The place was enough for his current set of friends, but he might need more space when his family grows. Sighing, Naruto lifted himself off the pool to get ready for the day. He already has an appointment with the agent to meet in Port Angeles and he doesn't want to be late for it.
Naruto was driving his 'baby' to Port Angeles at a sedate pace. He wasn't in a hurry and he was just moving at a cruising speed to kill some time. However, he was interrupted from his musings when he heard the revving of an engine behind him. Checking his mirror, he saw a silver Volvo with the driver impatiently revving his engine to push him to speed up. Smirking at the driver's antics, he slowed down even more just to irk the owner of the vehicle.
The driver of the silver Volvo wouldn't take none of that so he revved the engine one more time and passed Naruto with speeds rivaling that of a racer. Oh he didn't just do that. No one outraces Naruto Uzumaki and gets away with it. Pulling out the stops, Naruto slammed his foot on the gas and sped up to catch up with the Volvo that is trying to get away from the pursuit.
Naruto's 'baby' was more than a match for the Volvo. He sped up some more to go side by side with the offending vehicle, opendc up the passenger seat window, looked at the driver then smirked menacingly. He gave a wave and mouthed 'bye sucker' then stepped on the gas once more and left the Volvo's driver fuming.
Naruto's mood considerably brightened as he drove to the small café where he was supposed to meet with the agent. Leaving the Volvo to bite the dust with his 'baby' felt good; after all, there wasn't anyone decent in Forks to race with so having this experience left the blonde hanyou in a very good mood.
Parking at a vacant spot near the café, Naruto exited the vehicle then crossed the street to his destination. He ordered his favorite coffee blend and waited for his agent to arrive. Checking the time, he was an hour early since he sped up most of the way due to the Volvo's need to race. So he pulled out his phone and gave Bella a call.
Bella picked up almost immediately, "Hello Naruto, what's up?" Bella asked.
"I just got here in Port Angeles and I have an hour to kill before meeting up with the agent. Just calling to check up on you guys." Naruto answered.
"Aw how sweet." Bella said sarcastically over the phone. She was irked that Naruto left her with the company of Jacob and Seth; sure they were fun to be with but having no one to talk to except for a kid obsessed with video games and another with a fetish for classic cars was too much for a teenage girl to deal with.
Naruto laughed at his sister's antics "Lighten up sis. Tell you what, after I'm done with my business here in Port Angeles, I'll ring up some pizza and go there ASAP. How does that sound?"
"If you're going to get pizza then make sure that you bring more. You already know the appetite of these two" Bella informed him. Hearing Jacob and Seth yell some flavors for him to pick out, Naruto just chuckled over their endless appetite.
"Fine, I'll bring more. Tell the boys that I'll be over late this afternoon. Thanks sis."
"Welcome Naruto. Bye for now. Jacob is bugging me and Seth to help him pick out a color for his Rabbit's custom paint job. Uggggh boys and their stupid toys." Bella complained.
Naruto chuckled before ending the call. Looking at his watch, Naruto saw that he still has 40 minutes to kill so he signaled the waiter for the check, paid for it, then left to buy something to give to the boys later.
Naruto was happy. His visit to the electronic store bore some fruit. He was lucky that some new stocks came in so he was able to check out new toys for him to buy. After getting hooked with video games courtesy of Seth, Naruto was fascinated with technology and wanted to keep up with the trend. He saw a new laptop that was released so he decided to buy one. He also bought 2 more phones to give to Jacob and Seth so he can reach them easy. He could never understand why they didn't bother to get mobile phones to make it easy for others to reach them. Besides, it just didn't sit well with the hanyou that he can only talk to the kids only when they come over or he visits La Push.
Another thing that got Naruto excited is the Internet. He knew all about it from Jules' memories but he didn't have one hooked to his house. However, when the guy who manned the electronic store informed him that he can easily get access by connecting it to his phone, needless to say, Naruto was excited to get started with his new hobby. Checking his watch, he found out that he has enough time to place his new purchases in the Ferrari and go back to the café to meet the agent.
The agent was quite happy to see him since Naruto will be leaving him in-charge of the improvements of his house. This means that he will get paid for the new job. After shaking his hand and exchanged a few greetings, the agent introduced him to a beautiful lady with a very pale complexion. Her name was Esme Cullen, the designer of his home to help him with his request.
"Hi. My name is Nathan Fox. It is a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Cullen." Naruto extended his hand to Esme, which she gladly shook, noting the coldness of it but shrugged it off.
"The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Fox; and please, call me Esme." She gave him a radiant smile that made him like her more.
"Then please, call me Nathan. I don't dwell much on formalities. I love the design you made for my home and was wondering if you can add more rooms." deciding to get to the point.
"Yes, your agent told me about it and I have prepared some designs here for you to see." Esme said passing a folder containing some sketches.
Naruto took the folder and checked it out. Esme is truly an artist. Her sketches are obviously works of art and each one of the ones she made would fit well with his ideas. He was more inclined to one of the sketches that required extending the house to add 4 more rooms to the second floor, as well as adding a bunk house near the pool since the grounds were spacious enough to accommodate it.
Finalizing a few more details with the plans, the agent promised to start the improvements next week. Done with today's work, Naruto bade Esme farewell and left; thinking of how many boxes of pizza he needs to buy to satisfy a Quileute's appetite.
Naruto was annoyed. He has been waiting for 10 minutes now, standing in line to order some pizzas to bring back with him to La Push. The 3 large men in front of him were bickering back and forth, discussing what flavors they want to get. It was clear that these men were from the Quileute tribe judging from their skin tone.
"Come on Sam. Make up your mind already." The shortest of the three complained.
"Can it Paul, I'm still making up my mind what to pick for Emily, you know how she is when it comes to these things." Sam said while intently staring at the menu in front of him. The third guy just chuckled but decided not to interrupt the bickering between the two.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was getting hungry, Naruto could have just listened to their conversation; but he was in a hurry, he missed Seth. Out of annoyance, Naruto started to tap his foot on the floor repeatedly trying to gain their attention.
The shortest of the three, Paul, was getting annoyed over the tapping, frowned, and glared at Naruto "Would you mind stop tapping squirt" raising his voice a bit trying to intimidate the frowning blonde.
Naruto, who found the guy to be quite rude decided to ignore him yet still continuing to tap his foot; and just to irk the guy, he didn't even spare him a glance.
Paul lost his temper and attempted to throttle the kid but was stopped when their leader, the one named Sam, placed a hand on his shoulder "Not now Paul. Don't make a scene." Paul just growled, gave Naruto a scathing look then ignored him. Naruto, who was starting to enjoy riling up the hot-tempered brute didn't stop tapping; in fact, he was whistling a tune just to annoy him further.
After a few minutes of playing 'annoy the idiot', the threesome finally finished their orders and went to one of the tables to wait it out. Huffing, Naruto went to the counter and placed his order. He was curious of the All-Cheese flavor so he wanted to give it a shot. After paying for it, the blonde sat at the farthest table from the trio to wait for his order.
Naruto arrived at La Push in record time. Since he wants to spend some time with Seth, he floored the gas and zoomed through the highway. He arrived at a very funny scene as he opened the door to Jacob's garage. Jacob was chasing Bella around with hands dirty with grease while Seth, who looked like that he took a bath in motor oil, was laughing his ass off on the floor.
"What in the world is going on here?" Naruto shouted interrupting the trio.
Bella upon seeing Naruto, immediately dashed forward and hid behind his back, luckily enough, she didn't trip. Jacob, who saw Naruto, got a nasty grin and was about to throttle the blonde, hands outstretched planning to smear him with grease. Not wanting to dirty himself, Naruto blew a simple WIND jutsu at Jacob knocking him back a few feet and landed on his butt with a thud.
"I brought pizza!" raising the boxes he was carrying. Seth saw this and was about to grab a box when Naruto just raised it over his head and pushed Seth back with a finger. "Oh no you don't. Go wash up first before you can eat. You too Jacob. Now move both of you." He ordered.
Not wanting to annoy Naruto, both pouted and went into the house to get themselves cleaned up so they can eat. Naruto and Bella cleared up one of Jacob's work table and placed down the pizza boxes and drinks. Bella squealed when she opened the box containing the All-Cheese flavor and decided to snatch one and took a bite. She moaned at the taste. Curious about her reaction, Naruto grabbed a slice and took a bite. It was good. He gobbled up the rest and was about the take another slice when the two boys came back in, relatively clean, and helped themselves to a box of pizza each. They ate in silence until Naruto asked Jacob.
"So Jake, how's the Rabbit coming along?" Naruto inquired.
Jacob swallowed the pizza he was chewing answered "Slow going but I'm making good progress. The engine is in working order so I just need to get the seats upholstered then a new paint job." Jacob frowned and continued "I need to save up some more though since dad wouldn't give me the money for it. I'm thinking of getting a job somewhere for the rest of summer to pay for it." Jacob finished, grabbing another slice of pizza and taking a bite.
Remembering something, Naruto put down the pizza he was holding and went back out to the Ferrari, took out the 2 phones he bought for the boys and went back in. "Hey Jake, Seth, catch!" he threw the 2 boxes of phones to the kids, which they deftly caught.
Seth, who has a confused look on his face, decided to ask, "What's this bro?" shaking the box trying to determine what's inside.
"Just open it." Naruto said with a grin. Shrugging, both boys opened the box and gasped when they saw two new mobile phones. Naruto continued "Those are my gifts for you guys. Both of you are unreachable and I thought of getting you guys a mobile phone so I can reach when I need you."
Excited over their gifts, the two gave their thanks and forgot about the pizza they were eating and started tinkering with their new toys. Bella was mumbling about splurging and cost again which Naruto just chuckled resulting in Bella giving him a nasty glare.
After finishing off the pizzas, where Jacob ate 2 boxes all by himself, Seth finishing off one, and both Bella and Naruto shared the last. Both went back to what they were doing, Jacob removing the damaged seats from the Rabbit with Seth helping him out, while Bella was reading her book. Naruto, who was quite bored at that time, decided to open up his new laptop and tinkered around with it. They all peacefully did their own thing until they heard a truck stop outside. Jacob, deciding to see who it was, opened the door revealing the same guy from the pizza parlor, Sam.
"Hi Jacob. Is Billy around?" Sam asked Jacob in his deep voice.
"No. He went fishing with Charlie and Harry. They should be back tomorrow so you and your gang can come back then." Jacob answered in an annoyed tone. Sam just gave him a long look and was about to say something when another guy came in.
"Hey Jake, how your car coming along. Does it run yet?"
"None of your business, Paul" Jacob growled at him.
Paul growled "You got spunk kid. Maybe I should teach you a lesson?" advancing on Jacob.
Naruto was annoyed at all the noise decided to interrupt. "If you guys don't have any business here then leave; you're disturbing the peace." Naruto said while not bothering to look up from his work.
Paul looked around for the source and found it in the form of the kid that he met in Port Angeles. He growled "YOU!"
Naruto, who recognized Paul's voice already just raised his head and cocked his head to the left "Yes?"
"We have unfinished business brat. You need to learn to respect your elders." Paul growled menacingly.
Naruto just raised one of his eyebrows and said "Respect is earned." He stood up, placed his laptop on the work table and brushed off his pants. He walked over to Jacob and said "I need to use your bathroom Jake."
"Sure sure. First door on the right." Jake gave him the directions.
Naruto was about to walk out the door when a hand on his shoulder stopped him. Naruto just looked at the offending hand, which he found belonged to Paul "If you want to keep that hand then you better let go."
Paul, who got very angry at the kid' spunk, was about to shove him back when all of a sudden his world turned upside down.
Naruto decided to teach this young upstart a lesson. He grabbed the offending hand with both hands and yanked hard, while moving back that drove Paul to flip over, slamming his back on the floor with enough force to knock the wind out of his lungs. Naruto turned to Sam, completely ignoring what he did to Paul, and said "Next time, reign in your subordinate Sam. I don't like people I don't know touching me. Is that clear?" emphasizing his point by leaking a little bit of his youki that made everyone shudder.
Sam was shocked. No one has ever bested Paul in a fight. Sure, he was stronger than Paul but he should be able to hold out on his own again the kid. Feeling slightly intimidated by the kid who was just staring at him gave a nod without bothering to voice it out. Naruto, satisfied over Sam's acceptance, just nodded, then left for Jakes house to get to the bathroom.
When Naruto left, Sam went to Paul and pulled him up. He then turned to Jacob "Who was that kid?" he asked, curious over the blonde who can knock Paul down with a single move.
Not seeing anything wrong in answering "The KID who just knocked this guy's ass on the floor is Nathan Fox. He is Bella's friend from Phoenix, Arizona. He moved permanently to Forks when Bella came over to Charlie."
Sam nodded "How did he do that? I've never seen Paul got beat down that fast."
Jacob grinned "Why don't you ask him? He's coming back" he pointed to Naruto. Sam just shrugged, dropping the subject and left the garage.
Naruto came out of Jakes house after washing up in the bathroom. He saw the idiots leaving but didn't spare them a glance, which irked Paul again and made Sam curious. When he got to the garage, he was amused to see Jacob and Seth rolling on the floor laughing and Bella snickering while reading her book. "So, who were those goons?"
Jacob stopped laughing then scowled "Those three are the La Push Gang… Sam, their leader. I think you already know Paul since you kicked his butt" at this Seth snickered which made Naruto smile "then there's Jared. They are like the rulers of the Rez, don't know why. The elders respect them and everyone else looks up to them. I think they are just bullies. Some of the kids here at the Rez even say that they are taking drugs since they buffed up like bodybuilders in just a few months."
Naruto raised an eyebrow at this "Really now. That's interesting. Well, let's just leave them alone. If they bother you again then just ignore them. I don't think they would be just assaulting people since the Elders are keeping an eye out on their actions." Jacob nodded. He looked at Seth excitedly "So Seth, I got this new laptop and I was wondering if you can teach me to hook it up to the phone so I can surf the Web." Seth agreed so the day went on for the team of misfits."
The summer days went on without a hitch. Since Naruto's house is currently under construction, he and Kyuubi spent most of their time in La Push with Jacob and Seth. Naruto made good with his promise and started his instructions of the Shinobi arts to the two teens. The 3 boys and one fox adjourned to one of the secluded beaches in La Push to keep away from prying eyes.
"So guys, I think you already know why we're here right?" Naruto asked the boys. Seeing Jacob and Seth Nod, he decided to continue. "Since you both are adamant in learning the Shinobi arts, the first thing we need to do is to open your Chakra gates and informing you of your limitations." Naruto went into an explanation on the Chakra gates and informed them that he can only open 3 of them without damaging their bodies. Kyuubi helped a bit by giving them some information that Naruto glossed over. The teens were a bit sad at first when Naruto told them that they won't be capable of pulling out jutsus.
"Don't be sad you two. Here, let me demonstrate some of the things you can do with your 3 Chakra gates opened." He walked over to a tree at the edge of the beach and told the boys to follow. He asked Jacob to punch the tree hard enough without hurting himself.
Jacob looked at Naruto as if he was crazy but Naruto just told him to do it. Squaring his shoulders, Jacob punched the tree and was rewarded with some leaves falling from it. He now called Seth and told him to do the same but told him to wait for his signal. He touched Seth's shoulder with a finger and channeled some Youki into his arm, strengthening the muscles and bones a bit, and told him to proceed. Seth nodded, cocked his fist and punched the tree hard.
Jacob and Seth's jaws dropped at seeing what happened to the tree where Seth punched it. The trunk now sported a fist-sized hole.
"See? Even if you can't do any of the flashy techniques that me and Kyuu-chan knows, with your 3 Chakra gates open, you can enhance your bones and muscles up to ten times its strength. Your speed will increase too. The limitation is all up to you." Seeing both boys nod, excited to get their Chakra gates opened. Naruto also demonstrated tree climbing by walking up, literally; and demonstrated water walking. To his consternation, both boys became more excited so they both went back to the beach so they can get started.
"Ok, so the first thing we need to do is to open your gates. The process is painful since the opened gates will force Chakra into your bodies to prepare it. Kyuu-chan already taught me how to do it so who wants to go first." Naruto asked the boys.
Both boys winced at the prospect of pain after seeing what happened to Billy after his treatment from Naruto. Being older, Jacob took the lead and told Naruto that he will go first.
Nodding, Naruto asked Jacob to stand up and to remove his shirt. Naruto went behind Jacob and did a few seals and slammed a hand in between Jacob's shoulder blades while shouting "DEMONIC TECHNIQUE: CHAKRA REVIVAL"
Jacob's body was in pain. He screamed as he felt searing heat flow through his body. He fell to the ground, writhing in pain and waited for everything to stop. After a few minutes, the pain ebbed away, replaced by a feeling of lightness. He felt great and there was this comforting warmth that is flowing through his body, while feeling a non-existent breeze caressing his skin.
"MAN! THAT HURTS!" Jacob shouted as he stood up, shuddered, and brushed the sands off his body. "I feel great though. I feel strong and powerful for some reason. Is this normal?" he asked Naruto.
"Yep. And that is only the first gate. We will be releasing the second gate next week, and the third a week after that. I want you to sit down on that log over there and relax while I take care of Seth." Naruto instructed Jacob. Nodding, he pulled his shirt back on and went over to the log to rest.
Naruto looked at Seth, seeing his apprehensive look. "Well, Seth. Are you ready?"
Seth excitement dimmed a bit after seeing Jacob in extreme pain. When Naruto asked him if he was ready, he was afraid to experience what Jacob did but he wanted to make Naruto proud of him so he squared his shoulder, took of his shirt revealing his toned body with a hint of developing muscles which made Naruto blush, which he didn't notice, then offered his back to the blonde. "I'm ready bro! Hit me with your best shot."
Naruto who was slightly blushing upon seeing Seth's naked back repeated the same thing he did with Jacob. This time, however, Seth actually shed tears as he screamed and went through the pain. Naruto heart clenched upon seeing Seth hurt but this has to be done if they want to proceed.
After a few minutes, the process with Seth was finished, stood up, and almost fell but Naruto immediately held him until he could catch his breath. Seth, on the other hand, felt Naruto's muscles on his back and blushed. He didn't know why he was blushing and why Naruto's chest on his back is making him act like this. He just shrugged it off and thanked Naruto for the assistance.
Both teens were given some time to get their bodies used to the Chakra before Kyuubi took the role to get them started with the exercise. Naruto excused himself, saying he wants to recuperate after the procedure and told them to follow Kyuubi.
Naruto was taking a stroll, kicking up a few pebbles from the sand, his thoughts of Seth bombarding him. He wasn't sure why Seth's body made him blush; in fact, his close proximity with the kid when he held him made him complete. He thought of Seth as a brother but the blushing definitely happened and he didn't know why. Sure, he has seen lots of naked male before and seeing Jacob's more chiseled body didn't even affect him in any way. But why did Seth smaller build affected him. He was busy with his thoughts that he didn't notice Seth looking at him in the safe confused looks.
It's been two week since Naruto and Kyuubi started with the boy's training. The gang, along with a walking Billy and Charlie were having a picnic in their usual spot in Second Beach and just having fun. Naruto was busy chasing Kyuubi around the beach after the vixen destroyed the sand castle he was building. Seth and Jacob were busy trying to water walk, though the exercise is giving them some problems. Bella was making sandwiches, while the adults were deep in discussion about new fishing techniques.
Naruto finally caught up to Kyuubi and the two were rolling around in the sand trying to pin the other down. They stopped when they heard a chuckle from behind them. Naruto stopped and Kyuubi took the opportunity escape and ran to Bella to try to get some more Cinnamon rolls to eat.
Naruto turned after hearing the chuckle and saw Seth; he was trying so hard to avoid blushing. Seth was standing there, wet from failing the exercise, topless wearing only his trunks. His body was typical for his age; and Naruto could help but ogle at the forming chest and slight hint of 6-pack abs developing. The white trunks he was wearing almost gave him a nosebleed since he definitely noticed the slight bulge that he was packing underneath the shorts. Seth, who was obliviously to Naruto's ogling, just smiled and offered a hand to pull Naruto up. Graciously accepting the offered hand, while still fighting hard not to stare, Naruto thanked him and started brushing the sands off his shorts.
Oblivious to Naruto, Seth was also checking out Naruto's body. It was a swimmer's build, sporting lithe muscles, well-chiseled chest and a 6-pack. He blushed a bit then coughed. "So bro, Jake and me are going to take a break from training so you want to head over to Bella and grab something to eat?"
Naruto, who was slightly hungry from the scuffle with Kyuubi agreed "Sure Seth, let's go."
The two boys headed back to camp and saw Jacob already fighting with Kyuubi over Cinnamon rolls, which the fox is holding the boy at bay by slapping his hands with her tails when he gets too close. Seth went over to the picnic box and took out two sodas and throwing one to Naruto which he deftly caught, opened, and took a long drink. Seth helped out Bella in distributing the sandwiches.
While the group were eating and doing some small talks, Billy coughed to get Naruto attention "So kid, how's training with these brats." Getting an indignant yell from the aforementioned boys.
Naruto swallowed the sandwich he was chewing answered "They are doing good, slow, but good. We opened their last Chakra gates yesterday and they are getting accustomed to the water walking exercise. That is one of the reason why they keep sinking since the new influx of energy is giving them problems with their control. Once they master the exercise, Kyuubi will be teaching them physical enhancements to improve their strength and speed."
Billy nodded and turned to the two kids "That's great to hear you two. But you have to promise me that you aren't going to be showing off your new skills to anyone except us. It would be strange to see you two doing something that is not normally done. You can practice in private or use what you learned to protect yourselves. Is that clear?" he asked in a serious tone. Seeing the two teens nod and promised to follow his orders, he looked back to Naruto. "So kid, I've been meaning to ask you. Why didn't you do the same thing for Bella?"
Naruto nodded and decided to answer "Me and Kyuubi tried to teach Bella as well but there is something about her that is stopping us from doing so. We haven't experience this kind of thing before and the process should work but when we tried it out, something in Bella resisted our efforts. The gatekeeper mentioned that some humans have supernatural powers. Maybe her powers is to resist ours, I'm not sure."
"What do you mean? You mean my daughter is immune to everything you can dish out?" Charlie asked, confused.
"Nah. We just can't open her Chakra gates since our youki can't affect her directly. There is something invisible surrounding her, protecting her from our energies. I'm not sure what it is but I think it is a blessing. If we can't hurt her with our powers directly then you can be damn sure that others wouldn't be able to the same short of physically attacking her." Naruto confirmed.
"It's not fair you know. You, Kyuubi, Jacob, and Seth can do all these cool stuff but I'm stuck to just reading a book and seeing you guys have fun." Bella complained and pouted. They all laughed at that.
"Come on sis. You can meditate to find out more about what's protecting you. Maybe once you can consciously use it then maybe we can do something to turn it off." Naruto assured his sister while rubbing her back. Bella just pouted some more, huffed, and went back to her book.
They spent the rest of the day having fun while Seth and Naruto taking brief glances at each other's body without the other noticing it.
