Shishi Attack and Secret's Revealed
Everyone started coming out of his or her rooms ready for breakfast. Since Kitsury and Kiba had left the scene in Gaara's room earlier than the others they were ready first. Kiba had his usual attire, but kept the hood down because Kitsury said she liked it that way. Kitsury had on navy blue cargo pants, a red baby-doll tee underneath a hooded vest. The vest looked like a Jounin vest, but the hood on it had fur on it like Kiba's hood. On the back sewn into the middle was a fox with its tail turning into flames. Kankurou, Lee, Tenten, Neji, Ino, Choji, Shikamaru, and Temari all came out in their normal attire. Usagi was wearing an outfit similar to Tenten's but pink in color. Naruto and Hinata then came out and much to everyone's surprise they had new outfits. Hinata was wearing an outfit similar to Sakura's, but it was purple and where the circles are there was the flame insignia that was on the hoody she use to wear. Naruto was wearing an orange shirt with flames on the bottom and navy blue cargo pants too. Overtop of this he wore a long white jacket that had flames on the bottom of it. Everyone though it looked familiar, but thought nothing of it. Last to come out was Anuki and Gaara. Anuki was wearing a black kimono that stopped right above her ankles, and a red sash to keep the kimono closed. But what shocked everyone was Gaara's outfit had changed, even his siblings were surprised. Gaara wasn't one to change very often. Gaara was wearing all black a black turtle neck with back leather pants. He now had a harness to hold his gourd and a long black leather jacket.
" Ooh, do you guys like it. I thought he looked really bad-ass in it?" Anuki questioned
" It's different." Temari said He actually looks good.
Gaara just turned and headed to go get breakfast. Anuki was hot on his trail, still finding out from the other what they thought of Gaara's new look. As they exited their hallway they noticed people starring at them or looking upset. Most views were directed towards Anuki, Kitsury, and Usagi. Naruto was the first to notice the looks and recognize it and upset him greatly.
" Stupid baka's, don't even know what they are looking down on." He whispered so the hanyou girls didn't figure out what as going on.
" What are you talking about Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked
" They're just like the villagers back home, just believe rumors and don't find out what a person is really like." He whispered to her
At that Hinata knew that he was talking about. Last night he had told her everything about how he was treated, why he wanted to be the Hokage, his whole life. She even found out he was the son to the Fourth. But everyone here was treating the hanyou ninja's the same way Konoha treated him but neither had done anything to receive so much hate in return. As they entered a restaurant a waiter came up to the group.
" I'm sorry sir, but they can't come in here." He told Gaara and motioned to the Hanyou girls, "We don't serve there kind."
Gaara was about to Sabaku no SouSou him when Anuki moved his hand down.
" No, Gaara. It's all right. We'll just go back to the room an eat room service." She said sadly
The girls then turned and headed back to the suit.
" Well if they are not eating here, neither are we, Ne Hinata." Naruto said angrily
" But sir, you and your friends are more than welcome to come in." the waiter said
At that Naruto's anger grew. No one in the group knew he could get like this. Hinata was even taken back by the rage that emitted out of his body.
" You listen herE "their kind" happens to be friends of mine. So if they don't eat here, we don't eat here. Got it!" Naruto said as his eyes turned into Kyubi's.
The waiter just nodded his head out of fright and went back into the restaurant. Naruto then turned to leave with Hinata hot on his trail, everyone else followed after the shock of Naruto's outburst wore off.
" Sorry, Hinata." Naruto said sadly
" It's Ok Naruto-kun, you just surprised me that's all." Hinata said
" Don't lie to me Hinata. I know you were scared of me back there. I slipped and let some of Kyubi's chakra out, I'll understand if you want to break up." He said
" I swear! You can say some of the stupidest things sometimes. If I was going to leave you I would of done it last night. Now stop beating yourself up about it." She said
" Ok" he answered with a smile
When everyone got back to the room the Doobutsugakure girls were nowhere to be seen.
" Where did they go?" Asked Tenten
" Look a note." Sakura said and started reading aloud
Dear Friends,
We're sorry we've caused you so much trouble. We can see we are no longer welcome at this Onsen and are leaving to go home. Wishing you all well and hope your dreams come true.
Signed: Kitsury, Usagi, and Anuki
" They left?" Kiba asked confused " They can't leave Kitsury and I were getting along so well." Akamaru wined in agreement
" YES, MY LOVELY MAIDEN AND I HAD SUCH WONDERFUL CONVERSATIONS. AND SHE LOVED HOW I TRIED MY BEST WITH PRACTICING MY TAIJUTSU." Lee stated
Neji noticed that something seemed out of place, but couldn't quiet put his finger on it.
" BYAKUAGA" he said
" What's wrong Neji?" Tenten asked
" Something's different." he said
With that he saw a piece of paper in the trash with an unusual chakra signature on it. He picked it up out of the trash and flattened it out. He started reading it aloud
Hanyou Scum,
You will leave the Onsen now and return to the depths of hell you cam from or the human you are with will pay severely!
Signed: the Shishi Clan
" They were threatened. That's why they left." Neji said
" We've got to go after them." Kiba said with Akamaru barking in agreement
" Well then lets get going!" Temari said
" I'm just going to stay here. This isn't important and just too mendokuse." Shikamaru said to the group
" Oh, you'll come or you'll be sleeping in the living room the rest of the time we are here." Temari threatened
Living room or Temari, beautiful girl in skimpy PJ's or quiet. Man I'm so whipped. Shikamaru thought
" Ok, I'll go." he said
" He's so whipped." Kankurou stated and then got hit on the head with Temari's fan
" I'm going to go brain dead from your abuse." Kankurou said
" I think you were brain dead before mom even had you." She replied
" HEY! Lets go so we can find our friends." Naruto said angrily
He then headed outside and found the girls route with Kyubi's help with seeing chakra signatures. He then started on the same route as the girls with the rest of the group following him. Gaara was the only one who was able to keep up with Naruto's speed.
" So…" Gaara started.
Naruto then looked at him with Kyubi's red slit eyes.
" You are Kyubi's container, then." He added. Naruto just nodded.
" When he attacked Konoha the Fourth, my father, couldn't kill him. So he sacrificed himself and sealed him into me." Naruto explained
" Well that explains why you have the Fourth's jacket. But, you know the others are going to find out if you keep on lashing his chakra out when you get angry." Gaara said
" I think it's time they finally know. I told Hinata last night and she doesn't care. The way the waiter made them leave, the people's stares, and now the threat with hurting us by this Shishi Clan. It's too much." Naruto said starting to get angry again
" I agree, especially since we know how it feels to be them." Gaara said
Naruto nodded. He then noticed they were getting close to the girls and slowed down. He then stopped, something was on the forest floor and it was white.
" NINJIN!" Lee shouted as he picked her up careful not to hurt her anymore
" Where are the others?" he said panicking
" Fighting the Shishi Clan, they attacked us once we were far from the Onsen. They want to kill the guardians and take Leaf and Inari to turn into killing machines." Ninjin explained and the collapsed
Sakura than came over and healed her.
" I healed up the wounds with a simple healing jutsu, She just resting now Lee. It's ok, but look after her." She said
" WITH ALL MY MIGHT AS A KONOHA NINJA!" he stated
" Let's go find Kitsury and the others." Kiba said now worried
They soon found them in a nearby clearing. There were hundreds of men lying on the ground dead, but one man was still standing. He was the leader of Shishi. Usagi was behind Anuki and Kitsury unconscious and badly beaten. Anuki and Kitsury looked like they had seen better days, but the others couldn't see Leaf or Kit anywhere. Then the Shishi leader spoke.
"We'll take these two demons now. You can't stop me. Next time you see them they'll be blood thirsty monsters only out for death and destruction." He said holding their partners up
"I WILL NOT LET YOU TAKE LEAF!" Anuki screamed
She did a number of hand seals and the yelled
"LEAF BLADE"
With that thousands of leaves appeared and started cutting the leader all over his body, but he acted like nothing was happening.
" That's all you got, pathetic. I thought hanyou's were suppose to be more powerful than demons." He said
" THAT'S IT! Leaf stand back I'm going to us that jutsu." Kitsury said
" But, you'll be drained after that." Anuki said
" Then let's hope it works." Kitsury replied
At this time Kitsury started chanting along with doing numerous hand seals. She spread her nine-tails out and each one lit up with a blue flame on the tip.
" FOX FIRE TYPOON" she screamed
The blue flames shot out from her tails and surrounded the wide-eyed leader. It then started to spin around him and burn him all over. The placed Anuki's attack had cut the fire went into them and burned his muscles. He started screaming in pain and then the jutsu stopped. Kitsury the started to fall to the ground, until...
" Got you!" Kiba said has he caught Kitsury before she hit the ground. The rest of the group came down from the trees and landed in front of Anuki, Kiba and Kitsury.
"Kiba, please…Kit, Leaf help them" Kitsury said before she collapsed from exhaustion.
" We will." Kiba said and the laid her on the ground
" AKAMARU, LET'S GO!" Kiba yelled
" NO!" Naruto and Gaara both said, "He's ours."
" So, you want power over demons, huh." Gaara said, " A fool like you wouldn't be able to control a demon properly."
"How would you know?" the Shishi leader questioned
At that Gaara's sand started to gather around him and created that Shukaku-Gaara form.
" Because I'm possessor of Shukaku." The transformed Gaara now stated
" And I'm not any better." Naruto added
The leader then looked at him and saw the feral look the boy had and saw the fox-like eyes.
" Kyubi!" the leader whispered
At that the two boys attack. Gaara's tail grabbed the two demon children and handed them to Kiba. The two boys then attacked, beating the shit out of the Shishi leader. As Gaara was about to Sabaku no Kyu him, Naruto stopped him.
" No Gaara, he's mine." Naruto said
" As you wish." Gaara said and then stopped his attack.
With that Naruto powered up a Kyubi enhanced Rasengan
"RASENGAN!" Naruto yelled
He then hurled the spinning red ball into the leaders chest, which caused him to fly off the cliff that was behind him. The two boys them calm down and returned to the group.
" Ok, lets get back to the room and check them over." Naruto said
" Yeah, and then explain to us just what was that attack and the change in your appearance." Sasuke said still stunned by the amount of chakra that Naruto emitted during the fight.
" I know, I know." Naruto said and then walked off
With that Gaara carried Anuki and created a sand clone to carry Leaf, Kiba carried Kitsury while Akamaru carried Inari, and Lee tried to carry both Usagi and Ninjin, but found he couldn't. So Hinata took Ninjin. They all returned to the Onsen a waited for the girls and their partners to wake up. The girls started to wake up once they got back to the suite. Their partners had been beaten pretty badly, but with Sakura now being training by Tsunade, she had healed them. The entire time the girls were asleep the boy that had carried them back never left their side. Worrying about if they were all right from the fight with the Shishi leader.
" Ooh, did anyone get the number on that truck." Moaned Kitsury as she woke up
" Yeah, well your lucky you're already awake from a chakra depletion that sever. Sakura said
" Nah, give me an hours rest and I'm good as new." Kitsury said smiling
" Just like Naruto." Sakura said looking over at Naruto worriedly
Naruto was sitting away from the others with Hinata by his side and looking down at the ground in deep thought.
" Did something happen with you guys while we were out?" Usagi questioned
" You could say that." Sasuke said
" He showed you his true power. Didn't he." Kitsury said, completely understanding why Naruto was acting strange.
' How did you know? You were out cold." Sasuke asked now confused
" Figured that's the only reason he acting so strangely." Kitsury said sitting up with Kiba's help.
" So you knew!" Kiba said surprised
" Un-huh." Kitsury answered
" Is this what you were talking about last night Kitsury?" he asked her. She just nodded her head and became very sad.
" So, Naruto…" Kitsury started
This caused Naruto to look up from the floor and look over at her. She could see the pain in his eyes, but also the determination that it was time to tell them.
" I think it's time they know. It went well with Hinata and we'll protect you from any of them that don't understand." Kitsury finished. Anuki, Usagi, and their partners nodded in agreement.
" Yeah, it's time. I just wanted to wait for you guys to be up so you know what happened too." Naruto said
" OK EVERYONE, GATHER ROUND IT'S STORY TIME!" Anuki shouted.
Like what Naruto was about to tell everyone was a bedtime story or something. Kitsury was about to bonk her on the head when sand came up to protect her.
" Don't hurt her." Gaara said without even looking at the two
" Ooh, Anuki's got a boyfriend now." Leaf said teasingly.
Anuki just smiled at what Gaara had done. Even though Kitsury wouldn't really hurt her. He still didn't know that.
" Yeah gather round guys cause I'm only going to tell this once. After that you can ask Hinata because I told her everything last night." Naruto said, " Ok, so we all know how Fourth saved our village." He added
" Yeah, he summoned Gamabunta and the used the Fuuin Jutsu and sacrificed himself and killed the demon." Sakura said
" Yeah, that's the bedtime story the parents tell their kids in Konoha." Inari said
" Kit Shut Up! Let Naruto finish, this is hard." Kitsury said upset that her partner interrupted the Kyubi container.
" Actually what Kit said is true, what they told us was an innocent bed time story. Here is what really happened." Naruto said as he started Kyubi's story " Orochimaru was upset at the my father for becoming the Fourth. So, when Kyubi went out of Doobutsugakure he used one of his experimental jutsu's on him to try and control him and destroy Konoha. It didn't work out like he planed though; instead of listening to him Kyubi went berserk. Unfortunately for us, Orochimaru had managed to turn Kyubi in Konoha's direction. As he got towards our village the ninja's tried to defeat it. My father knew that Fuuin Jutsu wouldn't be strong enough, so he decided that since he couldn't kill Kyubi he would contain it. He used a newborn boy from the village and sealed the Kyubi into him, while giving his own life to the Shinigami. Thus, the village was saved."
As Naruto finished his story everyone else were quiet. Hinata was by his side once the realization hit the group.
' Naruto, how do you know what happened? Even about the reason Kyubi attacked Konoha and why do you keep on calling the Fourth your father?" questioned Ino
" He's the child." Shikamaru said like it was obvious
"NANI!" everyone screamed
They all looked at Naruto waiting for him to tell them that this was one of his jokes and Shikamaru was lying, but he gave no reaction. He didn't even look up at his friends. Then they knew what Shikamaru had said was true.
" Kitsury is this what you meant about it wasn't his fault?" Kiba asked
Kitsury nodded and started crying. Kiba sat beside her and hugged her. Everyone else was still in shock. Naruto; stupid, loudmouth Naruto held the most powerful demon inside him and could access his chakra whenever he needed to.
" So you're able to access Kyubi's chakra because the Fourth, who is also your father, put him inside you." Sasuke asked trying to understand everything
Again Naruto nodded without looking up.
" So why not tell us in the first place?" Choji questioned
This time Hinata explained.
" The Third made a law after the Forth died not to tell anyone not alive during the fight. Of course it didn't help either way." She said
" What do you mean Hinata-sama?" Neji questioned
He had long suspected there was something unusual about Naruto, but never figured out what. Now the image he saw during the Chuunin Exam made sense.
" The villagers, you guys may never have seen the look they gave Naruto-kun, but I did. The hate and coldness most of them acted towards him. That's why he is so strong." Hinata said
" Thanks, Hinata-chan." Naruto said smiling up at her
Hinata then placed her hand on his shoulder and he brought his hand up on top of her.
" Ok, but why no tell us. I still don't understand." Sakura questioned
" Sakura, if one of your parents was killed by Kyubi and the others hated it for what happened. That parent would transfer the hate to Naruto because he held the Kyubi. They think he is Kyubi and not the container. The hate would transfer to each generation and Naruto would be an outcast by every generation." Hinata explained
At that everyone understood. Naruto was still the same, just more powerful than they thought. Akamaru then jumped onto Naruto's lap and started licking him.
" Ha-ha, Akamaru stop it, that tickles." Naruto laughed
Hinata giggled at Akamaru's antics for cheering people up. The then turned to Kiba and Kitsury and started barking. Kitsury, Inari and Kiba just nodded their heads in agreement.
" Well… you going to tell me what he said? I can't understand dog." Naruto asked
" He said Naruto is Naruto and Kyubi and Kyubi. There is no difference between you now than there was yesterday." Kit explained
" Thanks Akamaru." Naruto said petting his head. Naruto then started smiling.
" Ah, now there is that trade-mark Naruto smile." Ino said
Naruto now looked at everyone who was smiling at him.
"So…. You guy's don't hate me?" Naruto asked concerned again
" For something you couldn't control, No!" Tenten said
" YES, NARUTO YOU ARE A BRAVE SOUL TO HOLD THE DANGEROUS KYUBI AT BAY. YOU ARE NOW MY HERO, WELL NEXT TO GAI-SENSEI AT LEAST." Lee stated
Neji stared to open his mouth, but Naruto entered " Apology accepted."
" But how did you know what I was going to say?" Neji questioned
" After the Chuunin Exam speech, once you found out about this I knew it was coming. Also, Hinata told me it might come up too." Naruto said rubbing the back of his head grinning. Neji just smiled
" So the Fourth was your father? That's why you're wearing his jacket." Shikamaru questioned
" Yeah, Ojii-san left it to me. I received it after Tsunade Obaa-chan stared working and found it when she was cleaning up. He left a note saying to give it to me when the Hokage thought I was ready. I guess she thought I was ready. I've haven't been able to find out a lot of information about my parents. But my father's name was Arashi Saigen. The Saigen Clan was one of the most powerful clan in Konoha, but most were killed in the Kyubi attack. I don't know much about my mother except her name was Sanrin. I don't even know if I have any relatives still alive or not on her side." Naruto answered
" I think we've all underestimated you Naruto." Temari said
" But maybe, that's how you get the advantage over people. I mean you were able to change Gaara to a somewhat normal person now."
" Yeah, you owe me big time for that one." Naruto replied
With that everyone laughed. Until two people stomachs started rumbling.
" Ha-ha! Sorry that jutsu take a lot out of me." Naruto and Kitsury said at the same time "Anyone up for ramen? They asked
Again laughter was heard throughout the suite and they all left for lunch
