One week later
In a cave deep into the forest, the man from before was seen sitting in front of a fire in a lotus position. It seemed he was meditating as the air around him darkened and wisp of black air circled around him. He had his eyes closed and had thankfully had on some tattered old pants that he was wearing in his coffin, though he was still shirtless. The man breathed in and the wisp of black air formed into bats of the same air. When he breathed out, the bats changed into the black air once more.
"Hmm." He opened his eyes and stretched himself out, raising his arms to his sides and in the air to relax his muscles. Once he was done, he heard the grunting and small screams of the boy farther into the cave. "A full week of this and he's still adapting and changing?" He smirked. "Maybe he's tougher than he looks after all."
Deeper into the cave was the boy, still exposed to the elements and writhing in pain in a circle. The circle was a black dirt and formed a barrier of some sort as the boy would often thrash about. The substance would keep him inside due to it burning his flesh if he rolled over it. The boy was sweating profusely as he laid on his back. After his apparent death at the hands of those three shinobi, the man decided to inject something within the boy and take him somewhere truly secluded from civilization. After that, the boy's body began the process of changing. The man took precautions and ensured the boy would stay in place as the transformation happens. If he died, then the man would have a meal that'll last at least two or three days, but if the boy survived, then this could be a truly interesting development indeed.
The changes that had happened already were the boy's skin went from a ghastly pale to a tanned, sun kissed tone. His faded hair regained its color as it actually became spikier. The severe wounds on his body were also healed as his skin held no blemishes or even any scars, almost as if they were never there to begin with. The boy's teeth had also started to change as well. No longer were they dirty, but a pristine white with his canines growing in length into fangs. That was all the changes that were there at a glance, but what was going on inside the boy was so much more and the reason for his current state right now.
The man walked back into the deeper caves and watched the boy on the floor with interest, though it was vague at most. "This had better be worth the trouble." He started as he sat on the ground and leaned onto the walls of the cave. "I could be fucking some hot tail since I haven't gotten laid in a century, or be out there having a delicious meal right now. But noooo, I just had to find a damn Jinchuuriki first thing out the ground." He ignored the pained yelp the boy let out, unaware that something was happening to him. "Oh well. If he dies, he dies I suppo-"
He was cut off when the boy screamed loudly and black and white energy flared from his body. The man covered his eyes as the flash was blinding and couldn't believe what he was witnessing. The boy's energy was truly something else entirely, a perk for being what he was the man supposed. The energy felt dark, filled with such evil and malice that even the man was surprised that a boy held such strong emotions.
'Could it be the Bijuu inside of him?' The man thought to himself as he continued to watch what was happening in front of him.
The energy faded away and the boy laid there once more, only this time, there was something else laying next to him as well. The man went over to the boy once the energy had completely faded and saw that the boy looked the same, except his hair was now a pale white color. What laid next to him surprised the man even more. Laying there, curled up into a ball in the boy's grasp, was a little orange furred fox with nine, white tails huddled into them both for cover. The man went wide eyed as he saw the infamous nine tailed fox laying there so cutely next to the boy.
He smirked once more, letting his fangs show this time. "Interesting." He knelt down and attempted to place a hand on the boys hair when suddenly one of the tails reacted violently by slashing at his wrist with sharp precision. If it wasn't for the man's reflexes, his hand would be gone now. "Very interesting." He spoke as he was now standing a little ways away from the two. "You're going to make a fine Reign."
Hours later
The boy felt warm. Warmer than he's ever felt in his life actually. It was strange, for three years he had never felt warmth quite like this before. To him, the world was a cold place with only a moderate, luke warm touch in his friends. The boy shifted his body and could feel the same warmth shift with him. This was so comfortable to the boy that he didn't even wish to move from his current spot. It was only when he felt someone standing close to him did he begin to stir. Being a bit astute in when people were near was a good skill the boy had, especially when he was asleep. Slowly cracking one eye open, the boy saw the visage of a man standing over him.
Waking and sitting up quickly, the boy got a good look at the man in front of him and noticed how odd he looked. "Um, mister?"
The man crossed his arms and looked to the boy with a raised brow. "Bout time you woke up kid." He started in a semi-irritated tone. "I was starting to get sick of having to wait for you to wake up."
The boy looked around and noticed that he was in a cave of some sort. He then felt something soft under his hand and then noticed that he was actually laying near a furry substance. He turned and saw the fox laying there, looking towards him with a curious gaze. The boy tilted his head slightly as he had no idea where this fox came from, and the fox did the same motion as he did. The boy lifted his hand and was about to rub the fox's fur when he noticed how different his hand looked. His skin had gotten a lot more color than before. As he looked at his hand, he started to rub his skin with his other, feeling that his skin was smooth. That was when he noticed he had on no clothing whatsoever and tried in vain to cover himself up.
The man laughed at that, causing the boy to give an annoyed glare towards him. The man stopped laughing and held his side as he chuckled a bit still. "Kid, I've practically seen way more than my fair share of naked beings, and yes, that includes children. Seeing you like this does nothing for me kid."
The boy relaxed a little but still attempted to cover his lower region from the man.
"Well, now that you're awake," he started as he sat down in front of the boy, "let's cut to the chase already. My name is Azriel Zeidan, and I'm a vampire kid."
The boy looked confused as he listened to Azriel. "What's a vampire Azriel-san?"
Azriel furrowed his brow as his eye twitched. He looked to the boy with a bit of anger mixed in with disbelief. The nerve of this boy. "A vampire are powerful beings of the night kid. Beings that are far more powerful than humans. By the way, what's your name kid?"
The boy was about to answer when the fox nuzzled its way under his arm, prompting the boy to scratch it behind its ears. This earned him a satisfied yip and purr from the nine tailed fox. The boy smiled as the fox enjoyed its ear scratch as he answered Azriel. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki. It's nice to meet you."
'An Uzumaki as well?' Azriel thought to himself in surprise. 'Those human fools must've been incredibly stupid to throw someone of this much value aside like this.'
"Well then Naruto-kun." Azriel started as he stood up to look down at the boy. "For the next two years, I'm gonna be training you to become a true vampire. Be ready, because you will be put through the ringer. That much I guarantee."
Naruto looked to Azriel with curiosity before widening his eyes in excitement. Finally, there was someone who was actually willing to train him, even if it was to be this vampire nonsense. To the boy, this was going to be fantastic. To the fox though, it knew there was something that Azriel wasn't telling them, and it would find out sooner or later.
AN: Gonna end this here. Next chapter will have a timeskip to it and some insight on what some other characters are up to. Remember, this does have lemons and genderbent characters to it, just to keep you guys informed.
