Everyone in the Council room had a look of shock on their faces knowing that Amaterasu okami. Is an heiress of the most powerful okami clan that have unique bloodline? But shocked most of the council members that a ninja of their village almost killed the heiress of the okami clan. The mask individual sighed and said in a calm but still commanding voice "do not worry we don't hold the village responsible for the actions of one man along said man is punished for his actions against the heiress of the okami clan and her friend. We the Canine Warriors will not attack your village, but if any harm comes to the heiress and her companion again, just say that this Village will no longer exist. The mask individual said in a calm and deadly tone that send chills down they're spines.
six days later…
"Amaterasu-chan, Amaterasu-chan! Wake up!"
"Hmm… Let me sleep." Amaterasu groaned as someone began shaking her.
"Ojii-san!" Naruto's voice called out. "Why is Amaterasu- chan like that? She's been sleeping for days!"
"Naruto, most people heal much slower than you do." Sarutobi's voice said. "Amaterasu is already healing faster than normal people."
"You mean we're special?" Naruto asked.
Amaterasu snatched the pillow under her head and threw it in the direction of Naruto's voice.
"Omph!" Naruto cried out.
"I can't sleep with you chatting here!" Amaterasu complained as she got up. "I swear you come here every morning just to annoy me Naru-kun!"
"That's because you're still in the hospital Ama-chan. I got well on my second day here." Naruto whined. "But it's you sixth day already and you still have to stay here. The orphanage is very boring without you."
Amaterasu sighed, understanding Naruto's feelings. Though no one had dared to treat Naruto badly at the orphanage anymore, they had the tendency to give him a wide berth, leaving him to his own devices. "Well I am trying my best to recover Naru-kun." Amaterasu said turning to the Hokage. "Hokage-sama, can I leave the hospital today? The wound is almost healed now." Amaterasu said tapping the knife wound on her chest.
"Well it just happened that I had a talk with the doctor just now. You'll most probably be allowed to leave if there are no unforeseen problems." Sarutobi said with a smile. He gave a sigh as his face changed. "But there are some things that we need to talk about. Naruto, you remember those men with the dog mask who came with us to the hospital? they should be talking to the doctor, get them here alright?"
"Alright Ojii-san!" Naruto said cheerfully as he ran out of the room.
Amaterasu observed the Hokage with a sinking feeling, something about the look on the old man's face made her weary.
"Is it about the villagers? I already said Naruto and I did nothing to provoke them and I am really sorry about hurting them, even though I don't remember summoning the dragon you told me about." Amaterasu said in a rush, finishing off her words hotly. "And they do deserve what they get for hurting me and Naru-kun!"
"Now Amaterasu, calm down. This isn't about the villagers, though I've seen to it that the people responsible are punished." Sarutobi reassured. "But the emergence of your unique abilities must be carefully cultivated… Ah Canine-san! You're here, that's good."
A man wearing a dog anbu mask wearing an Orange headband on his left bicep with the kanji of Canine Obedience on it. He looked to be in his early thirties. Walked into the room with Naruto trailing behind curiously.
"Hokage-sama, I assume this is Amaterasu okami." The masked man said while looking at Amaterasu.
Amaterasu corrected turning back to look at the Hokage anxiously. "So what is it that you want to tell me?"
The Hokage gave Naruto a look and coughed uncomfortably, then meet Amaterasu's eyes.
"Konoha is a village of ninjas, as such we look upon people with bloodline limits as the treasures of Konoha." Hokage began, though from his solemn tone, Amaterasu knew that the news was not going to be anything good. "Amaterasu, you have an unique bloodline limit, added with the fact that you are the first summoner of the thirteen gods of the Celestial Brush, the council had agreed to put you under the protection of ninjas who are capable of looking after you.
Canine-san is from a group of ninjas that have been serving the okami clan for many Generations, by the decree of the village council, from today onwards, you'll be living with him and the others in the new okami clan compound."
Naruto paled at the news while Amaterasu just stared at the Hokage in dread.
"Don't worry Amaterasu." Canine began saying. "The Canine Warriors has already agreed on this, you'll be safe."
Amaterasu looked at Naruto who was unusually quiet at the news. His eyes were downcast, staring at the floor. "No." Amaterasu said loudly, causing Naruto to look at her shock. "I am not leaving Naruto-kun behind at the orphanage. We are sworn brother and sister now, and I am not going to go somewhere else and leave him alone."
There was a light twinkling in the Hokage's eyes, though he said seriously. "I understand your concern, but unfortunately, your adoption is by the mandate of the council. It cannot be lightly put aside."
"Then I'll run away." Amaterasu said with a huff. "I am not leaving Naruto-kun behind."
There's no need of that. My lady, you're the heiress of the okami clan if you chose to wish it. Young Naruto may join your clan and we the Canine Warriors would gladly be happy to teach Naruto the ways of the warrior. "Canine-san, are you sure?" Hokage asked with a start. "
"Yes Hokage-sama, if lady okami wishes it, it shall be done." Canine told the Hokage rubbing his mask tiredly. He turned to face Amaterasu and Naruto. "Well let's get lady Amaterasu out of the hospital and I'll bring the two of you to meet the family."
"You really mean it? You're taking both of us?" Naruto asked, his eyes shining with unshed tears.
"I don't go back on my word." Canine said seriously. "Now, let's see about getting you two some new clothes…"
Naruto and Amaterasu looked at the rest of the Canine Warriors with awe in their eyes, the warrior who had an Orange headband on his left bicep with the kanji of Canine Obedience on it. Had brought the two of them home, their new home, and told the rest of the warriors that young Naruto is going to be a warrior in training and he's lady Amaterasu okami sworn brother so they must treat him like family. All the warriors bowed their heads and said in the same time "welcome Home lady Amaterasu and sir Naruto to the Okami family." Both Naruto and Amaterasu smiled as they both started to cry tears of joy as they were engulfed in a group hug. "Umm I'm sorry but we don't know you're names Amaterasu said as she looks away shyly. "It's quite alright my lady I'm Tei," the one with the Orange headband on his left bicep with the kanji of Canine Obedience on it said in a cheerful tone.
"I'm Rei" the one with the yellow headband on his left bicep with the kanji of Canine Attentiveness on it said proudly. "I'm Shin," the one with the green headband on his left bicep with the kanji of Canine Courtesy on it. Said in a lazy tone. "I'm Gi, nice to meet you two," the one with the dark blue headband on his left bicep with the kanji of Canine Knowledge on it said in cheerful tone. "I'm Chu," the one with the sky blue headband on his left bicep with the kanji of Canine Justice on it said in very happy tone. "I'm Ume" the one with the red headband on his left bicep with the kanji of Canine Loyalty on it. Said with a wave of his hand. "I'm Ko" the one with the purple headband on his left bicep with the kanji of Canine Duty on it said in a bored tone. "I'm Chi," the one with the pink headband on her left bicep with the kanji of Canine Faith on it said with a bow.
"Well my lady Amaterasu and sir Naruto, Ume be showing you two, to the bath house. Well the rest of us go and dinner ready."
Tai said as Ume came walking up to the two children and showing them to the bath house. "This is the bathhouse." Ume said pausing outside the structure in question. "You can clean up here."
"Wow! Your own bath house. This is so nice!" The boy called Naruto said excitedly, rushing inside with his new clothes.
Amaterasu, gave Ume a nod and smiled. "Thank you." as she followed after Naruto.
Ume looked as the door shut behind them and pondered. That Naruto kid is just too loud and excitable, living with him would probably be a headache for Ko and Shin, but Amaterasu on the other hand seemed the total opposite of Naruto, calm and mature. Ume wondered thoughtfully if she knew how to play MahJong…
"Tai! What are we going to do? The villagers will do anything to get Lady Amaterasu to bend to their will" Chi hissed. "And lets not forget what they almost have done to both lady Amaterasu and sir Naruto!"
Tai took off his mask and showed his face that had been scard from all his battles as a Canine Warrior and serving the okami clan for many Generations. Rubbed his eyes tiredly.
"I know Chi and we won't let these power hungry fools get their hands on our lady. We must keep her and Naruto safe. It is our Duty." Tai said as he looked at the other warriors. "We won't fail our task do you understand!" Tai yelled as everyone all said "Hai Tai- sama!"
