Ufaaa: Im glad you like this story! And don't worry that comment didn't put me down, it just surprised me! J

Sugaryskull: Yes ! I like cuteness too, everything isn't always dark and that's what this story is about. The grey. Nothing is white and black in this story and that's why everyone will have their different opinions! And Naruto's life has ups and downs and those were one of the worse downs.

Hdlovestoeat123: You are somewhat right, look at more of the details. He's not exactly a werewolf hunter. In this chapter you will kind of understand what he wants.

Liiiw: Yes this is a sad story, but don't worry I didn't care for that review too much it just surprised me and omg the constricting list! And I like sasuke and to him that means I like hitler lol!

When we first met the family at their mansion I was a little stand offish.

"These are my other two children, Temari and Kankuro." Karura said. To my surprise, they didn't smell too much like a wolf. They kind of smelt like Menma.

"A-are you guys like me?" Menma questioned grabbing his backpack from the car.

"Yes Menma, we are just like you." The older female sibling smiled.

I looked to my side to see Garaa staring at me with a slight lean to his head. He smiled when he noticed me looking at him and pulled his mother's shirt to whisper something in her ear. Karura smiled and gave me a nudge towards Garaa, "Garaa would like to play with you."

"oh.. ok" The red-haired took off and to my amazement transformed into a light brown wolf. A shock expression took hold of my face. I had never had any other young pups around my age. I looked at Menma who was talking to the other siblings laughing at something Kankuro said.

Was this okay?

"Go on Naruto, You are safe now." Karura whispered to me.

Safe? I looked off into the distance to see Garaa excitedly waiting by the woods, he let out a howl and grabbed everyone's attention.

"Garaa wants to play with the noobies huh? Well let's see what you guys got!" Kankuro said leaping over a bush. Temari ran after him but halted turning to Menma to grab his hand. "Come on silly you too." She said,

"W-what… I'm not lot like Naruto.. I can't transform.." Menma said sadly looking at me.

"That never stopped us! You just gotta get your heart pumping, that blood is still in you and it doesn't mean you can't hunt and have fun." She said pulling him along "Let's go slow pokes!"

I started running after them transforming into a wolf. Excitement running through my veins. I could smell all sorts of animals in the woods.

Running for a while we finally caught a scent we wanted to follow. We found a huge hog and circled it like a pack.

'This is so much fun!' Menma said in my head. I looked at him and noticed his features were more animal like, the excitement of the group getting to him, and his wolf blood accelerating through his veins.

"HA HA!" Kankuro hollered leaping on top of the hog. It jolted and flung itself around like a bull, but he held on tightly with claws. Temari ran like a wolf and slashed at the ankles. Garaa was running wilding chasing another hog, his tongue out. He looked at me in anticipation. I ran after him circling around the hog, we both jumped and attacked accordingly. It was like a dance.

I felt one with myself and not like a monster.

Menma came down on top of the hog like Kankuro but in an instant, was flung off.

'Menma!'

I looked to the bushes that he was thrown into and began to worry. I ran towards him hoping he was okay. He popped out the bushes laughing shaking his hair free of leaves. He continued running wildly, determined to catch the hog.

'Come on !' he yelled grinning

I couldn't help giving him my own goofy grin, Menma was having fun. I never thought he could hunt, and feel the excitement I felt when I let the wolf blood take a hold of me. We all ran together that day. Hunting the biggest hog we could find.

I slowed to a halt when we got to the mansion. We were all panting out of breath. Kankuro was dragging the hog we caught by a rope and temari helped him pulling on another rope. Garaa, still in wolf form, walked to my side and Menma to my other side. They were both cheesing happily.

"You know you guys aren't bad. I always say the best way to break the ice is a nice hunt. That always brings us close when we get in a fight or anything." Kankuro said

"Mhm" Temari agreed

"I-I didn't know I could do that. I didn't even know that was possible!" Menma said in awe

"Yeah, we can show you a lot more you can do when you open up more to your wolf side. However you probably won't be able to turn, kankuro still tries and he looks silly." Temari said stickig her tongue out at her brother.

"Hey just you wait, right Garaa!"

We began to all laugh, but the laughter stopped when we noticed the man standing on the walk path. A judging look on his face. He was staring at Menma and I, but also Garaa?

"Bringing these beast in my home? Why has that woman disrespect me this way."

I looked at Garaa to see his ears and tail were down.

"Feeding into your desires again? Have you no shame of what you are?"

"D-dad-"

"Silence daughter! I expected more from you two."

"W-we didn't know you were home already from your trip, how was it?"

"Don't try to fool me boy. Is this what you kids do when I am away? You run wildly like animals? Didn't I teach you any self-control? How will we ever show the Hyugas we are no threat? But rather a powerful ally."

"That's enough Rasa!" Karura yelled hands on her hips

"And you, how dare you! Bringing in these despicable strays. Have you seen the news lately? There was a killing in the woods not so far from here and they are talking. If they point the finger at Garaa, then there is no way for me to protect our family, is that what you want?"

"Enough! We will speak more about this inside, not in front of the kids!"

"Don't you see that I'm trying to protect this family!"

"PROTECT US! "

Rasa and Karura walked towards the house still arguing. We were left stunned not knowing what to do.

"H-hey, ill cook this hog up and we can have a nice meal."

"Y-yeah! Come on guys don't look so down."

The siblings tried to cheer us.

"Okay!" Menma said brightly. He patted Garra and my head gently," Come on guys we had a lot of fun today let's rest and eat." He grinned

And so we did.

Later that night I found Garaa outside staring at the moon. Menma was fast asleep, but I couldn't will myself to.

"Hey." I said softly, I sat next to him to stare at the moon, trying to see what he was looking for. The cold breeze tickled my arms making goose bumps rise. I'm not sure why I sat there for so long with Garaa but I felt like he understood what I went through and i him. Menma understood me but this was different.

The feeling of being alone.

Even though we are surrounded by people that cared about us, like Menma and Temari and Kankuro. It just wasn't enough. Something always felt disconnected.

"My family was the same way." I finally whispered. " They never made me feel like a monster, but what they taught had a different meaning to me. To them it was safety but for me...it was always Don't do this, don't transform, control your anger. Control your beast. I never even knew Menma could do such things like he did today. And Temari and Kankuro. That was cool. But it was always about control. They always meant well but to keep us safe was to keep us from being who we were, and especially who I was." Garaa had made no noise or movement to let me know he was listening but for some reason I rambled on, telling him about my life. "A-and I think I was the one that killed those people… that your dad was talking about. It was me" I finally ended.

Garaa looked at me with his green eyes with no sign of emotion, "I did it too. I've killed someone too." He whispered. " sometimes… it's just really hard to control."

"But isn't it easier, since you have so many animals around and what not?"

"Yeah.. but my dad thinks I shouldn't have to feed my beast, so when I try to suffocate it in my mind it makes things worse. My sister and brother are the ones who saw this and helped me. Every time he would leave we would go out and hunt. My dad was proud of me. He thought I had finally had control over my wolf but he was wrong."

"But why? Why not let you be free and live?"

"Because. Im…im just a weapon." He looked down sadly.

"A weapon?"

"When I get older he's going to give me to the Hyuga's, where I will work alongside them. That's the deal."

I stood up angrily, what father would do that to their son? My father protected me until his last breath. He would never do such a thing as horrible as giving me nor menma up in place for protection. "THAT'S HORRIBLE!"

Garaa put his hands up to stop my outburst," N-No. This way. We are able to live here. By doing this I am protecting my family, my sister, my brother , and my parents. He's only doing this so we can live happy."

I looked at him sadly, "Garaa… that's not happiness.. You are giving your life up, who you are.. You, you, can't do that Garaa. Today..." I grabbed him by the shoulders trying to shake him out of his ideals, "Today, I felt so happy Garaa. Running around in wolf form. You guys were able to make me feel happy as a wolf. Something I haven't felt in..well ever. My father always taught me the same thing and I never understood. Why? Why cant I be accepted for being who I am? Including a wolf?"

Garaa looked down, "That's not the world we live in Naruto. I'm sorry. My mom used to tell me back then the wolves ruled the world, until the humans took over. There used to be a peace treaty but it was broken and the humans killed almost all the wolves. That's what we live in now. Wolves' making deals and humans breaking them. We are only weapons to them, or beasts that need to die. The reason your family probably died was because he didn't believe in those ideas. That's usually what happens, if you go against the humans in control, you die."

I let Garaa go and tears slid down my face.

"N-no..mom..dad.." Did the military approach his family? Asking for their cooperation?

"I'm sorry Naruto.. but it's the truth." He said walking away

I looked over to see Karura looking at me sadly. Garaa walked pass her not saying a word.

"How much of that is true…" I whispered, my fist shaking

"All of it.." She said, a tear threatening to escape her eyes.

"Is that why Menma and I are here? So, you can j-just, make us into weapons?!"

"Naruto no! I wouldn't wish that upon any of my kids, believe me. I will find a way around this. Just enjoy your time here Naruto, and try to be happy. That's all we can do in life. "

"I TRUSTED YOU!" I yelled ,"I w- I wanted to believe you! You said we were safe!"

"Naruto enough, you are only going to work yourself up. The only reason you have been roaming freely is because of Akemi. Without her you would have already been found by the military. We are protecting you guys the best we can, all we ask is for your patience. Give us time. Now go to bed, and rest."

I wanted to believe Menma and I were safe here. But It was wrong of me to believe in such foolery. I returned to my bed resting next to Menma. He had a smile on his face. I placed a hand on his head. I won't allow them to hurt Menma. And if they must use me… so be it, that will be my last resort.

IS it starting to make sense what the military do? Hiashi is part of that military and these ideas of making the wolves weapons is what they do to fight each other. To have power. Any wolves that go against them are killed. Because they are afraid of a wolf that has no control. Another thing this is building on NAruto's bond with garaaa and his family and his brother. You always have a deep connection with your family before you find a deep connection in your so. That comes later so just wait until the next chapters and you will see the bonds of hinata and him getting deeper. He is still young and you notice him hinting about these feelings for her but they have yet to fully take form.

THANKS FOR READING~ dont forget to review i like seeing you guys really into the story :)
