Chapter 1: Contract of the Pantera

If you call Naruto Namikaze, Naruto Namikaze, he will beat you up. So, everyone calls him Naruto. Just Naruto.

He is the son of the Fourth Hokage, brother of the Nine Tails Jinchuriki, and he looks nothing like them. His skin is sun-kissed and his hair is red blood, just like his mother. The differences start with the blue tips on his hair, and green marks under his blue eyes.

Nobody bothered explaining those changes to him, not his parents, not his teachers and even fewer other kids, calling him Bastard Son.

Maybe that's from where his behavior comes from. He is violent, impulsive and very short tempered. With a love for fighting that no one can match.

Compared that to his sister, Asuna, he is a lost cause. Genius in both, ninjutsu and strategy, calmed, and respectful. He doesn't hate her. He just gets to annoyed with her. Most of the time.

He is 10 years old, and the academy is over. He was wearing a white hoodie, hiding his hair, grey cargo pants and blue sandals. He was going to his hiding spot. Where no one can annoy him and he is alone.

Entering the forest of death, he made his way towards his makeshift base when he heard a whimper. With nothing better to do, he followed the sound.

What he found was a panther of a white color, trapped in a bear trap. The panther spotted him and tried to run, only to be stopped by the trap. Naruto raised his arms "Oi, calm down." He said going closer. For some reason, the animal listened "I am getting you out."

After some struggling, he broke the panther free. It skipped out and turned to Naruto who grinned "There you go." The panther nodded and then it talked.

Wait, what?

"Thank you, child. I knew that you will come."

Naruto blinked, then his eyes widen "What the fuck!?"

The panther chuckled "Do not worry child. I was actually looking for you. Descendant of Grimmjow Jaegerjarquez."

"Who the fuck is that?" Naruto asked, he never heard that name before, and he is related to him somehow?

The panther nodded "It is understandable you don't know him. He was a warrior of great strength before the foundation of the villages. And you, Naruto, are his reincarnation, and we, Las Panteras will give you the power to become king! Do you accept?"

Naruto thought about it "Will I become stronger?"

The panther nodded "The strongest. Nobody will be able to surpass you."

Naruto grinned "Then I am in."

*2 Years Later*

Naruto starred bored at the front. He was sat alone on a corner as the class chatted. He had his Konoha headband, tied on his arm. He replaced his white hoodie for a jacket. He had it opened and was wearing nothing under. He had a sword that was held with a black belt.

As Iruka entered and gave a speech about how proud he was, and then the good part started. Team placement.

"Team 7: Asuna Namikaze, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno. Your sensei will be Kakashi Hatake."

"Team 8: Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyuga and Shino Aburame. Your sensei will be Kurenai Yuhi."

"Team 9 is still in circulation, so Team 10: Ino Yamananka, Choji Aburame and Shikamaru Nara. Your Sensei is Asuma Sarutobi."

"And Team 11: Naruto Namikaze," Naruto growled at his name "Yakumo Kurama and Hanabi Hyuga. Your sensei will be Genma Shiranui."

As the teams went to talk, Naruto stood up and was heading to the door, hands in his pockets. As he left and closed the door.

He walked some few steps before the door was open with an annoyed Hanabi Hyuga passing it "Naruto!"

He turned to her "Eh? What the fuck you want?"

Hanabi marched to him "We are a team, so Yakumo-Chan wants us to eat together. So come on!"

Naruto growled "Who the fuck are you to boss me around!? Eh!?"

Both glared each other before Yakumo Kurama went to them "C-Can we not fight?" Both turned to her making her gulp "I mean, we are a team now, so, I think we should get along." She suggested and Hanabi sighed.

"You're right Yakumo-Chan." She admitted and turned to Naruto "What you say? You're stuck with us, until one of us become chunin. Want to make the best out of it?"

Naruto groaned "Whatever." He stuffed his hands in his pockets and walked away. "Follow me."

Hanabi huffed "What a jerk!"

Yakumo chuckled "I bet he is just nervous..."

"Because?"

"Ehm... he didn't have a lot of friends, right?" Yakumo said "So maybe he isn't good at socializing."

Hanabi hummed "That makes sense... But he still is a jerk!" She said and started to follow him, and Yakumo behind her.

On the roof, Naruto was eating some rice balls when Hanabi and Yakumo arrived "What took you so long?" He asked, not really interested.

Hanabi and Yakumo sat down and took out their bentos "Nothing, Naruto." Yakumo smiled kindly at him "So, what you like to do?"

Naruto bit down on a rice ball "Not much... I like to cook I guess." He shrugged "And I like cats."

Hanabi scoffed angering Naruto "A problem with that!?"

Hanabi shook her head "I never pictured you as a cat person. That's all." she said smiling "I also like cats, but father doesn't allow them in the compound." She explained and Naruto smirked.

"I have one at my secret spot. Asuna is allergic so I can't have them in my home either."

Hanabi eyes widened and she grinned "OH! Can I meet it!?"

Naruto smirked "Her. And sure, after we are done with this shit, I can take you there."

Yakumo smiled and got into the conversation. Hanabi is lonely and she is her only friend. Maybe all of them can be together.

*Training Ground 11*

Genma Shiranui... was maybe TOO laid back for this job, all the genins agreed. He was laid against a tree, with a senbon in his mouth. And most importantly, he didn't tell them anything about himself!

He explained that there was another test, this one to become official genins. "You just have to make me use the senbon that I have in my mouth. Easy, right?" Genma explained and Naruto grinned.

"HA! Piece of cake!" He exclaimed and was about to rush to him when Hanabi stopped him.

"The hell you think you are doing idiot!?" She scolded and he growled at her.

"Winning this shit! Now don't get involved!" He jumped at him and swung a fist at him. Genma ducked and kicked him on the ribs, sending him behind him. Naruto landed on his feet and jumped to kick Genma, aiming to his stomach, but Genma jumped to avoid it.

Naruto growled and Hanabi rushed to Genma and using the gentle fist tried to disable his arms, but he placed his hands in his pockets and dodge everything, before kicking her away, bumping to Naruto.

"Oi! Watch yourself!"

"Shut up Red! Didn't you see he kicked me!?"

Yakumo sighed "We need to work together." She said and both turned to her "He is a jonin, it is impossible for us to beat him by ourselves."

Naruto growled "Just watch me!" Naruto said taking out his sword "I'll cut him in two!"

Yakumo sighed "Naruto."

"What?" He growled.

"You are the strongest of us, but you lack technique." Naruto growled but nodded and she turned to Hanabi "And Hanabi has that technique, while I have genjutsu."

"Go to the point Kurama."

Yakumo nodded "You distract him, Hanabi will immobilize him, and I'll force him to use the senbon."

Hanabi nodded "Your plan better work."

"Yeah, like hell I am going back to the academy."

Genma smiled "It seems you kids got a plan. Let's see how it goes."

Naruto smirked and rushed to him, sword in hand and swung it making Genma jump, behind him, many trees were blown away.

Genma whistled "Not bad kid. Were you trying to kill me?" Seeing Naruto smirk, he grinned "Good, keep up that attitude, Red."

As Naruto kept attacking Genma with no break, Hanabi jumped at the opportunity he was distracted, forcing Genma to grab her hands. Naruto smirked "You're mine!" He screamed before getting kicked on the face.

And then Genma saw it, a Kumo shinobi. He had three important clan members in his team... but he never expected an assassin! He threw Hanabi at Naruto, took out his senbon and threw it at the Kumo shinobi.

Yakumo yelped seeing the senbon land next to her head as the genjutsu dissipated Genma blinked as Naruto pushed Hanabi off him "Man, when they said the Kurama clan was good at Genjutsu, they weren't kidding."

Naruto sheathed his sword and Hanabi dusted her kimono. The three genins looked at him and he smirked "You pass."
