ATTENTION, LOOKING FOR QUESTIONS FOR THE Q AND A SOON, NEED QUESTIONS TO ANSWER TO, PLEASE SPAM ME, I DON'T CARE I NEED SOMETHING TO DO, PLEASE AND THANKS...WRITING IN CAPS LOCK IS FUN...WEEEEEEEEEEE!
Kiba yawned as he leaned down to put on his shoes, only instead of shoes he felt something wet and ragged. He sighed as he looked down at what was left of his shoes. He didn't need to study the bites to know that three small wolf demon pups had done this.
He groaned this was the third pair in a month. "Naruto!" Kiba yelled. Naruto ran to him, a pup hanging off of him. "Y...yes?" he asked as another pup suddenly came out of nowere and began to attack his paw. Kiba held up the remains of the shoe.
Naruto groaned inwardly. "I am sorry Kiba, I have told them not to-" Mashi pounced onto Naruto's back, he grunted. "Okay that is it!" he yelled. He barked harshly, the pups scampered away from him, they loved to play with him and challenge him but they were still afraid of him when he was angry.
He glared at them "What did I say about chewing on the shoes?" he asked them. Gin spoke in simpe demon tongue to him, it was the only language they knew at the moment, human was buried in their brain, they just were not old enough as of yet to access it.
"We sorry papa, we know we not supposed too, but at least we chewed only one?" She asked hoping that it was forgivable, Naruto sighed, he could not be angry with her. He turned to Kiba "they only chewed one this time." Kiba looked down and noted that it was true, he sighed "well, I guess that's a start." Kiba then stood and went to the closet and grabbed an extra pair he always had on hand.
Kiba left after saying good-bye to Hinata and Hime. The pups scampered about the house throughout the day, luckily they had stopped breaking stuff, mostly due to the fact that they had moved everything that could be broken to the closet for storage.
Hime and the pups played in the living room, while Naruto and Yume dropped to their pillow in complete exhuation. "Who knew pups would be so...hyper?" Yume grunted "I had somewhat of an idea, but these pups are so different from wolf pups, true we don't have to worry about food, but we have to worry about them chewing on stuff and them making their leavings in the house."
Naruto nodded and sighed "it's only going to get tougher, I have to go back to work soon, I am so sorry that I have to leave you alone with them all day, but when I get home you can rest and I will watch them okay?" Yume nodded "I know, but you don't go back to work until another few weeks right?"
Naruto nodded and gave her a lick on the muzzle "hopefully they mellow out by then" Yume smiled "it would be a dream come true." Naruto smirked "your a dream come true." Yume blushed and giggled. Naruto and Yume dozed for a bit until the pups decided to play with them.
Somewhere in the confines of a base camp, hidden in a secret forest, a group of men and one lone women stood around a table. Upon the table was a odd assortment of different objects, they were on the table just to serve the purpose of keeping a map from blowing away and to stop it from infuriatingly curl up all the time.
"What are our numbers so far?" One man asked, he was a middle aged man, but still held the vigor of youth, but he also held the wise experiance of all his years of being a ninja, he kept his cool no matter what, and thought criticlly and intelluctually about every move, as though the battlefield was a game of chess.
This made him a good general, he did not attach himself to his troops, he did not have emotions, he did what needed to be done, which is why he was made a Kumo Anbu at the age of twenty, he however had always disliked demons and the idea of them, he exspecially hated the fact that his Raikage had one, the demon the Raikage held was the very same one that had killed his father, and he would never forgive that un-godly race.
He held himself with a quiet dignified reserve as he studied the map, the wall would be hard to breach, he knew that, every village knew that, the wall of Konoha was special, it was made of a very powerful and strong binding substance, it also could be fortified by use of chakra making it even harder to penetrate.
He absently spoke the answer to the question the prophet had asked "Our numbers are around almost 700 nin, most chunin rank and Jounin, another 60 or so are special jounin and Anbu rank." The prophet pursed his lips and glanced to them, "what of their numbers?"
There was a silence as one man, another general, older then the prophet, a he had a black cane with him, but few knew that within that cane was housed a hidden sword that he was quite trained in using. He had a white beard that reminded them all of a dragons beard.
His hair was long and tied up into a top not that had an embellished hair peices holding it up. His back was arrow strait and he stood with his hands clasped behind his back. He studied them with calculating eyes. He spoke frankly. "Our numbers do out-number Konoha nin by two hundred, but...they also have allies of Kumo and Suna, that greatly outrank our own, not to mention they have many who house very strong blood-traits, the Kazekage himself could take on half an army with his sand manipulation."
The prophet pursed his lips "We are taking the fight to Konoha, their ground is made of a compact dirt, not sand, can he use that?" The older man was silent as he assesed the map "we are...unsure, most likely no, because when ever he travles he must carry sand with him, so I am guessing he probably can't use Konoha's ground for his own."
The women, Suki spoke "fret not, I have something that will work in our favor." She then took out a vile. It contained a weird purple liquid. "What is that?" the prophet asked. "A dose of this, will make a person un-able to use chakra for an entire month, it won't work on demons sadly, their healing capabilities and their abilities in all five natures are to much for this to be effective."
She stepped forward "but all we would need is someone who is an excellent shot or very good at getting close, we could make all of the Kage's unable to battle if we desire, there is only enough for three." The prophet spoke "can we make more?" Suki shook her head, "the ingrediants for this, can only be made from the secretion of a special flower species in the south, however they only bloom every five years."
The prophet nodded "very well, we will have to make do, would it work on the Raikage?" Suki frowned "we have never tested it on the jinjuriki, it could be his normal chakra would be unusable, but he is one with the demon inside of him, he could simply just use the demons power as well."
The propehet frowned, "our forces are not a match for this, I must prey to our creator, I will see if he sends answer." The prophet left them. Suki turned to the other generals "religon is not the only thing we have he forgets, science also helps greatly."
She then turned and brought out a box, it was wooden and heavy but she managed. She set it on the table, it thudded loudly. She smirked as she opened the lid slowly, all of them gatherd, curious. Inside the box lay a large rock.
"what is it?" one of the generals asked. "It looks like some sort or rock." She grinned "lift it" ONe reached in and did so, it was light, it shimmered and sparkled in the sun, casting flecks of light into their faces. "This is no rock, it is a metal, very rare, hard to find, only exists in one place, however it exists their in a large quantity."
She lifted a small dagger "this dagger was made out of it." It was a shiny dagger, a blue sheen to its blade. She spoke "do I have a volenteer?" One mad stepped forward she nicked his left hand "try to cast chakra into that hand."
The man did so then crumbled to the ground as he groaned in agony. "The metal actully reacts to iron in blood, it weakens the blade on a microscopic level, and shards will break off and go into the blood stream, this is important because it then will begin to attack the chakra producing cells in the general area."
She grinned "try using chakra and it will feel as though someone is tearing you apart from the inside out, it will last for about two days on humans anyway, but demons...demons are pure chakra energy, if they get stabbed deep enough...they won't survive longer then two days, I call it demonsbane, for it kills demons easily."
One man spoke "how do you know?" Suki smiled "would you like a demonstration?" she whistled to one of her personal aids, they brought in a shaking crate. You could hear the sound of something screeching and growling from the inside.
One of her aids wore a glove as he opened the crate and stuck his hand in, he grunted and knitted his brow in concetration as he pulled out a wild ball of fur. It was a cat, a normal looking cat. It screeched and hissed yowling. "This is a demon cat, we found a few of them not to long ago, we have been testing them, here I will show you the true power of demonsbane."
She then took the dagger and stabbed the cat deeply in the ribs, the cat went silent then slowly, a strange thing began to happen to it. The fur in the area paled and decayed falling off of the cat, the skin beneath curled and wrinkled turning an ashen gray then black as black blood and sickly green pus poured from the wound.
The cat let a strangled cry out as it slowly decayed right before their eyes. All the fur fell off of it then it's entire body turned black and it withered and dried up in front of their eyes. Untill all that remained was a sickly dried corpse. The men stared at it.
The one who had been stabbed by the dagger glanced to his hand "do not fear, only demons are affected in such ways, you will live and keep your hand, demons will not." The men gulped "they will die that fast?" Suki shook her head "they will die like that only because I had stabbed the heart, the larger the demon the slower the decay, it also depends on the wound, if it is a graze, that limb or that area will decay, but it can be possible to rehabilitate it, that is why when you strike a demon with demonsbane...you tell your men to make sure they go for the kill."
The generals nodded and bowed to her "I only have enough weapons made for one larger dagger for each, make sure they use them well." The she grinned as she turned to their base camp, in front of her tents stood in picketed rows. The sounds and smells of a war camp fresh on her nose, she breathed it in, she loved this, the smell of camp food being prepared, the sound of the blacksmith in his temporary settings hammering away at armor and weapons.
The sound of ninja sparring and getting stronger, preparing themsleves for the war, then the sound of distant chanting and praying as the prohpet hailed and praised his god. She chuckled at the thought, religon was useful it managed to bring in the feeble minded, but science was better, science would be the leading factor in this war, not religon.
Well there you have it, hope you liked, I don't have a beta anymore, well I do but I don't have the ability to send him chapters to proof read so I hope I am doing an okay job on grammer and spelling.
