Naruto woke with a start, the room was cold and void of light and the images of the previous night returned to him suddenly with frightning clarity
Sakily Naruto moved out of the bed and towards the dresser and took the clothing that the Hokage had left him last night, he donned the two piece gray body suit and matching gloves 'Ugh' he thought the outfit was so unlike the orange clothing he normally wore 'I'm never gonna be noticed with this, its so dull suppose I'll just ask the old man when he gets here'
Next he slipped on the dark green cloak and staggered slightly due to its weight 'damn whats this made of, lead?' Naruto's inner voice exagereated slightly, the fact that the cloak was tripple layered and went down to his ankles crossed his mind when evaluating the reason for its weight
Naruto then lifted a pair of equally gray footpads with leather soles, slipping them on he noticed something about them 'hey the inside of these are made of metal' and indeed they were Naruto vaguely remembering what they were 'I think the leather is to mask sound and the metal is to protect the bottom of the foot'
Picking up the next articale of clothing he studdied it scrutinising each and every detail, what the blonde vampire was peering at so intently was a white cloth mask its own silver reflective eyes stared back ominously, the size of it went from the top of his forehead to the tip of his nose and covered the whole area on either side of his upper cheeks leaving the whole jaw uncovered
Tying up the string after placing it over his face Naruto opened his eyes, nothing looked particularly different when he saw throw the reflective lens except maybe the harshness of the light in the ceiling after he turned it on 'I guess it probably helps and my eyes arn't stinging anymore so I better thank the old man when he gets here'
Moving infront of the dressing mirror he appraised himself twisting this way and that to capture his full image "I guess it'll do even if it isn't orange, maybe I can ask the old man to get me a flouresent coloured cloak next time"
not expecting an answer Naruto was quite surprise when said 'Old man' replied from the bedroom doorway "-chuckle- hmm Naruto-kun I really think something that bright may be bad for you and the clothes on you at the moment look good Naruto-kun"
"Old man" Naruto exclaimed running straight into Sarutobi and hugging him at the waist "You probably have a millon questions to ask me but first you should drink" prying the too hyper to be a dead person of of himself Sarutobi made his way to the kitchen and opened the fridge, Naruto was nearly bowled over by the smell of blood all different types mixed into a collage life sustenece
He was however rudely shocked from the smells when a blood pack impacted with his nose, reacting with a speed he didn't know he possesed Naruto caught it before it even made its fall "you were in a kind of shock last night Naruto-kun so you may not remember but I told you that you will need blood to survive"
taking note of the slightly disgusted look on Naruto's face the old man continued "One of the most important things you will need to remember Naruto" the hokage's voice became serious "is that the hungrier you get the more chance you have of hurting others"
that shocked Naruto 'no I can't let that happen' looking down at the medical bag he gingerly bit down on the surface and begun to drink, the taste was exquisite and overwhelming he had tasted blood before but now, but now it changed completly like a sweetness that he couldn't get enough of, draining the whole bag Naruto felt instantly better sated and complete
seating themselves at the table Naruto innocently looked at the Hokage waiting for more of an explanation the Hokage rubbed his brow before starting the renewed conversation "I told you last night that there lives inside a vampire a thing called the beast and I meant it, it is something so terribly strong and evil that you keep it on a constant leesh or it will hurt those you wish to protect"
"the next thing you must remember is that left uncovered a vampire will burn from direct light from the sun, that ring can help you slightly but you must remember to keep yourself covered up" looking at the Old man Naruto voiced something that didn't quite add up "why is it you know so much"
"in my early days I was a vampire hunter, we drove out what vampire was left from the village and protected the townspeople from harm, much of my knowledge was handed down to me and the ring you are wearing is a memento from a particularly powerful vampire ohh she was quite powerful"
Naruto noticed a small blush appear on the old man's face and came to an instant conclusion "damn perverted old fart" Naruto muttered under his breath just loud enough for said 'fart' to hear "erm anyway onto the next subject food Vampires can't eat or drink things other then blood" "no ramen" "yes no ramen you'll just end up throwing it all up, you body can no longer handle food"
Naruto cast his eyes downward but the hokage moved on "you failed the last gennin exam the next one will be your second try am I right" Naruto nodded ashamed at failing his first try "you may as well make the best of the situation you're given, in dying you lost your chakra and the ability to make it, it will make you extremly hard to detect and now that you're changed you no longer need to breathe"
"But without chakra how will I be a ninja" Naruto's voice took on an extremly whiny note and Sarutobi chuckled then ruffled the blondes hair which was sticking up slightly due to the mask "-chuckle- Naruto-kun Vampires even the newest of them can be comparable to a jounin in terms of raw power" this made Naruto straighten his back the thought of kicking the ass of the arrogant bastards that kept calling him a loser would get a rude awakening
"Vampires can through the use of their blood increase their physical nature for a short amount of time, many also in my time could use powers which they called 'Disciplines', they divided themselves into a myrid of clans and subclans much like our own vilage except that they became they're own worst enimies which made the hunters jobs much easier"
Naruto looked at the old man for a long while before nodding showing that the infomation had finally worked its way through his head "so thats whats going to help me be a ninja even without chakra?" Sarutobi nodded then moved his discusion forward "another matter you must take heed of is your body, even if you get cut or wounded except for an initial amount of blood from the wound any cut will not bleed and you will no longer heal naturally, it is also something you will have to learn to do by yourself"
the hokage hesitated for a second not sure how to continue "there is another factor of your body though... being a vampire means you will not age or grow up, I'm sorry Naruto but you will stay this way for the rest of your life" he looked at Naruto and too his surprise was taking it rather well "sooo if I'm not going to get any older that means..."
"... I have forever to be the best and it won't matter how long I'll take, I suppose it'll suck after a while but with what I've been given it means I can protect everyone and prove my existance" Sarutobi was taken aback he had expected Naruto to curse or cry that his luck was so bad but also the reason why he was happy shocked him too
Naruto continued though "I don't think I'm going to be able to be Hokage though, I doubt they'd want a kid that can't put up with the sun as their leader" the hokage just nodded nothing could be said to the statement
lightening the mode Sarutobi changed the subject "its two weeks until this years acadamy starts up again, I want you in that time to get used to your new body and memorise the books I gave you including the ninja handbook, understood"
"Hai Hokage-sama" Naruto answered getting serious

reading an excerpt of the book Naruto lazed back in the relative darkness of the room only slightly iluminated from the ceiling lamp
Vampires exist as both myth and reality there is much debate as to how they came to exist, the first theory was that Vampire came about through an advanced bloodline that allowed them to change they're bodies significantly this theory was later disproved and thown out when tests found that vampires had absolutely no relation to each other
the second theory was a form of specialized ninjutsu or sealing technique, many forms of medical ninjutsu were capable of creating a sembalance of life in a dead body but as of yet unable to create something akin to a vampire
the act of creating a vampire was found by a now deceased vampire hunter, the act is much like a blood born disease being transmitted via ingestion, surprising enough is that by itself the blood isn't enough to cause the change, one must be drained of nearly all their blood before given the blood to change happens
the body remarkably dies in all its funcutions and for all intents and purposes the person should be unmoving as there are not even electrical signals flowing from the brain, vampires range widely in form and appearances some horibly disfigured from the transformation and others gain attributes and abilities that affect they're body or mind
Vampires themselves claim to have their own ideas for how they came about but can differ greatly, one of the most prodoment theories they have is of a mystical nature as a man named Caine had slew his brother and caused himself damnation from the god he worshiped, they the vampires also theorised that Caine created the rest of the vampire clans
flipping to a new section Naruto continued his reading
Ghouls are the product of a living creature feeding off the blood of a vampire without first being drained by said vampire, Ghouls while having many of the powers of a vampire differ in their forms of weakness Ghouls can stand in the presence of sunlight and are amost indistinguishable to any other human or animal until they begin using they're powers
the most common power of recorded Ghouls was a discipline Vampires called potence the supernatural power to exert more force into an action much like how a ninja uses chakra to strengthen the blows they inflict, Ghouls as long as they have the blood of a vampire in them stop aging and can heal their wounds just as a Vampire does
Ghouls are recorded as retainers and bodyguards to the Vampire and were often controled through an act known as a blood oath which when fed blood at three different occasions will cause Ghoul and vampire alike to become bonded and completly submisive to the maker of the bond
'scary' Naruto thought deciding not to dwell too long on the idea of forcing another to his will and flipping again to a different section this part about the clans themselves
there are or were many clans of vampires each with different specializations and weaknesses some are cataloged below
Brujah- perfect in both mind and body Brujah consider themselves scholars and warriors, though they are almost human in the actions they take all suffer a short temper that can lead many of them to attacking indescriminatly recorded infomation states most brujah had speed and power matching the disciplines clerity and potence and a charisma they call simply presence
Gangrel- Gangrel resemble much of the beast that is inside all vampires and have been known to be able to grow animal parts every time they fall victim to frenzy, most at peace in nature gangrel are capable of calling and controling animals, they can also shrug off huge amounts of damage
"ugh why do they use so many words" rubbing his eyebrow and forehead Naruto decided to put down the book which he had gone half way through of and slipped on his footpads and poured himself a glass of animal blood before walking out the door fully covered no particular destination in mind
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sun glared down upon him even under the protective clothing that left nothing uncovered Naruto walked along the streets of Konoha getting used to the feel of moving without chakra it seemed odd even without the chakra he was moving swiftly and with so much more fluidly then he did before like whatever was stopping him from advancing had disapeared.
Unknown to Naruto his thoughts weren't that far off they're mark the seal on his stomach had done its job when Naruto 'died' killing the demon trapped inside him all without even him knowing and all that was left was an extremly large corpse of a nine tailed fox and the mountain loud of chakra which with nowhere to syphon off to simply laid there like a lake of red.
Making his way down one of the many paths Naruto came upon a training field which was strangly littered with hundreds of weapons ranging from kunai and shuriken to kama and tanto blades "woo now thats overboard" walking past the piles of weapons Naruto saw a girl continuing to throw weapon after weapon into training dummies
the girl didn't look all that petite like the other kunoichi he'd seen in the accadamy, wearing a sleeveless chinese tang shirt and similar pants, she hadn't noticed him yet and Naruto's mind whirled at the tricks he could pull, creeping slowly behind her Naruto surpressed a chuckle
Tenten had a sense of forboding around her but bit it down as she threw weapon after weapon into the targets, the forboding only increased as she felt a hoarse breath next to her ear which made her jump into the air with a shriek
Naruto rolled around the ground in laughter "oh god you should have seen your face that was halarious" Tenten glared at the cloaked and masked boy "who the hell are you and why the hell did you do that just now, and stop laughing"
once Naruto recovered significantly he lifted himself off the ground and looked at the girl who was blushing a deep scarlet "heh he my Name is Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto I uhh I'm an accadamy student I failed the last exam and was out here to train" NAruto finished lamely scratching the back of his head his hood moving slightly.
Tenten looked then stared and finally slumped her shoulders in defeat "you know you look pretty suspecious with that outfit Naruto" the blonde in response looked at her blankly not fully comprehending what she meant "ohh you mean this" he said pointing at the mask
"well you see I kinda have to wear this now for special reasons" Tenten raised an eyebrow but didn't voice any interest "ehh anyway if you're using the training area I'll just go find another one" starting to walk off Tenten interupted his departure "you can stay if you want, I'd like the company anyway"
Naruto turned and grinned then frowned "I forgot to ask what your name was" the girl looked at him then smiled " I'm Tenten also an accadamy student and if all goes well this will be my last year glad to meet you Naruto"
with the introductions made they both settled down to each of their respective training
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto soon found two of his disciplines both by accident the first when he managed to get by a rebounding kunai of Tenten's and not even get cut by it displaying a skill in fortitude though the act of being hit by the kunai surprised Naruto enough that he tripped over his own feet taking with him a very large chunk of wooden log he was training with
Picking himself out of a tangled heap Naruto picked up the Kunai which had a very large somewhat comical bend to the tip
"ehh he he sorry about that" Naruto said giving the damaged weapon back to Tenten who stared at the weapon in shock before she locked gazes with Naruto's mask "just what the hell are you made of"
scratching the back of his head Naruto would look sheepish if he hadn't had most of himself covered in a mysterious looking outfit
"hmm I guess this is as good a time as any to end my training, I'll see you in class Naruto"
looking at the retreating form Naruto couldn't help but smile 'my first friend'

end chapter
Authors notes- so what do you think?
hmm alot of things in the story I had to change because it wouldn't really fit into the story like sunlight I had to give something that gave Naruto a way of going around during the day so in this vampires are a bit more resistant to sun
I also had to figure out a reason why the world wasn't swamped with Vampires, if anyone wants to know about the vampires you'll either have to listen to the explainations I give every now or then or procure a vampire the Masquerade handbook, fir this story the majority is taken from the dark ages book and some from the modern
next chapter accadamy time and new friends
