Hello everyone,
So I am not sure how everyone is going to feel about what I did but it is part of the reason why Naruto is so mixed up in a sense and is so laid back. His personality is different in this chapter for many reasons so pay attention. This is more character development for the main two.

Fugaku couldn't believe his ears was Kakashi serious? There is no way his family just so happened to stumble on a rare species like Naruto.
"Whatever is going after him Fugaku is going after his life essence. It is trying to drain his life completely. If this kid really wanted to know about his past and learn about his past and how to use his powers bring him to me. But be sure to protect that kid. He is possibly the last of his kind. I will be out of town for a while so just call me if anything happens." Kakashi said before Fugaku left.
Fugaku was already driving home and he couldn't believe it still. Kakashi could train the kid to use his abilities. But would Naruto want to train to use his abilities? He might, seeing as he wants to leave. Fugaku never knows with Naruto considering he doesn't speak much about wanting to do any of the sorts. He made it clear he didn't want to continue the pack with Sasuke.
"What should I do?" Fugaku thought as he pulled into his house.
"Fu, what happened? Do you know what he is?" Mikoto asked walking to her husband as he got out of his car in the garage.
"I do, but I think we should look it up more before we let the kids know." Fugaku said.
"If you two know I definitely want to know." Itachi said in the doorway.
"Will you tell Sasuke if I tell you?" Fugaku asked his older son.
"Not if you don't want me to. Also, if it is to protect them I am willing to sacrifice not telling the two." Itachi said.
"Okay let's go to the attic we need to check out the book." Fugaku said.
"Naruto, I have the book." Sasuke said trying to wake Naruto up before his family came downstairs after finding the book gone.
Sasuke kept shaking Naruto. It was about to be dawn and Naruto has been sleeping since yesterday. Too bad for him seeing as Sasuke was restless.
"Sasuke, what do you want?" Naruto mumbled leaning up against the wall.
"I got the book we can look up what is trying to attack you and what you possibly are." Sasuke said sitting next to Naruto.
He put the book on both of their laps and flipped the first page. It started with the A creatures.
"Angels are real?" Naruto asked leaning against Sasuke.
"Yeah they are, but I don't think you will see them often." Sasuke said turning the page.
They got through the A's without Naruto asking any question that is until the B's started.
"What the hell is a banshee?" Naruto asked.
"Well as you read they are creatures that wail or shriek when a loved one is dead or someone close to them. They also are beacons of death. You are definitely not that." Sasuke said changing the page.
"Chimera," Naruto said.
"No," Sasuke said turning the page again.
They got to the D's pretty fast after that talking about things periodically. Naruto seemed fairly interested in what he was seeing and Sasuke couldn't help but feel proud that Naruto was interested in the supernatural.
"Demon," Naruto said as they landed on the page.
"I don't think you're a demon Naruto." Sasuke said softly.
"But you're not sure you said my eyes turned red and demons have red eyes, don't they?" Naruto asked looking at him.
"Demons can have black or red eyes. But I don't think you're a demon and a lot of things can have red eyes. Your abilities don't explain you being a demon read the description of the abilities and the only thing you have in common aside from the eyes is that you heal quickly. The way you described your parent's death doesn't explain how they died. If they were demons they would have lived from a fire that's for sure." Sasuke answered. "At most they would have been sent to the underworld." Sasuke said turning the pages.
"Dragons are real?" Naruto asked visibly brightening up.
"Yeah they are real; you definitely aren't a dragon though because your parents wouldn't die by fire." Sasuke said.
"That would be awesome though." Naruto said smiling.
"Yeah but I think that mixing of the species that much would be weird." Sasuke said with a chuckle making Naruto blush.
Naruto forgot for a while what Sasuke said to him last night and had to be reminded by saying that making him move over a little away from Sasuke. Sasuke noticed the sudden change and caught Naruto moving away from him along with blushing.
'Was Naruto awake?' Sasuke thought to himself staring at the blonde only to blush himself. "Why don't you look as much as you can while I distract them?" Sasuke said getting up making Naruto look at him.
"Are you sure? I may not know what I am looking for then?" Naruto asked.
"Its fine, when you find something that feels right let me knows and I will come back to you. There are names of families that are in the back from branches. You should check it out to see if you see your family line." Sasuke said getting up and leaving the room.
"Family line? Uzumaki or Namikaze?" Naruto questioned to himself.
Naruto looked at a lot of things that he found fascinating and couldn't help but smile at what he was reading.
"Griffin's are amazing creatures," Naruto said to himself with a smile.
Naruto got to the H's really fast skimming through all the pages rather quickly.
"Hellhounds?" Naruto said reading everything that they had on it.
He read how they could die, how they went into flames when they changed and that their eyes turned orange not red during their change. There healing was amazing though and barely anything could kill a hellhound.
Naruto glanced over the human page and couldn't help but laugh at it. Why was there a human page? That just made him continue on with what he was doing.
"A Kitsune? They can have up to nine tails. They are also an urban legend in Japan to be mischievous creatures that trick young woman or young men to kill them and take the person's life force. Cunning and intelligent that can trick people easily. They have a lot of different facades on who they are. They heal quickly because their life forces connect with their tails. The more tails you have the stronger you are. Foxes tend to travel with their family. They don't travel alone. They are social by nature. Only a few things can kill them. One is to slice stab one and to drink the blood out of it until it is completely drained, another way is to cut it's tails off, and another way is to cut its head off and burn the body." Naruto read out loud.
Would if he was a Kitsune? Naruto wasn't sure that was a good thing considering what he just read. Naruto did have a lot of attributes that related to the Kitsune so could he really be one? Naruto put a paper in the page to ask about it later.
Naruto just continued reading and nothing sounded familiar until he got to the creature Nagual.
"Nagual? What the hell is that?" Naruto questioned. "They can die many different ways. They are spiritual beings that have strong life forces that keep their blood from ever running out. They are people that can shapeshift into animals varying from puma to wolf. Also known as a transforming witch or shapeshifter or trickster. It heals amazingly fast and has sharp senses that can protect them. It shows their animal instincts even in human form. They are territorial people by nature and like being around select groups of people. Sometimes even have their moments of not liking people and not being able to explain it. Dreams revolve around the creature because they are linked so close to the spiritual world they may know and understand more than it seems without it being explained. They do tend to have multiple personalities." Naruto said looking at the picture to see the person as a jaguar.
"I don't get it there is a section of wereanimals why is Naguals any different?" Naruto questioned to himself.
"It's because a Nagual can change into more than one while a werewolf or other wereanimals can only change part of their features and it doesn't change the whole body. For example, a werewolf unless you're born one can't change into a wolf. Their faces tend to only change." Sasuke explained as he walked downstairs with his family.
"Okay, I get it." Naruto said changing the page.
"You read a lot while I was away." Sasuke said sitting next to Naruto.
"Yeah," Naruto said. "I skimmed over most until I read something that made me interested. I have another question." Naruto said glancing at everyone who chose spots to sit down.
"You can ask us anything and we will answer honestly." Fugaku said.
"What can kill a hellhound?" Naruto asked.
"Not much a silver bullet laced in pure unaltered silver but even that is rare to find." Fugaku answered.
"Why are Naguals so rare?" Naruto asked.
"Well most Naguals don't live in the human civilization when they find out they can transform into animals." Mikoto answered.
"So, they choose to stay as an animal?" Naruto asked.
"Yes," Mikoto said.
"What do they mean when they say that Naguals are close to the spirit world?" Naruto asked basically soaking in all the new information like a sponge.
"Technically they are the creatures that aren't connected to just the present; they can connect to the past and the future. It is an intriguing gift to have but it is also very rare. Naguals also don't know what they are until after their first change or something happens to them." Itachi explained.
"Like what?" Naruto asked looking and focusing only on Itachi.
"Naguals are creatures from the spirit world that happen to be able to change forms into an animal that doesn't automatically make them good or evil. But if you have a bad spirit it is possible for your spirit energy into a bad Nagual like in the picture." Itachi said.
"I think I found what is coming after me." Naruto said suddenly as he listened to Itachi but still went through the book.
"What is it?" Sasuke asked glancing over Naruto to look at the book.
"A salamander, they are beacons of death and suck the life force out of supernatural creatures. They smell of death when they are near death that is also when they are the hungriest. It is said that they go for the stronger supernatural creatures because they have longer life forces and one of them could give them one thousand years of long health. They initially go for Kitsune's who live as long as their tails don't get damaged or touched, a Nagual who is connected to the spirit realm, a skin walker because of the power they have, and demon's because they have barely anything that will kill them." Naruto read off the book. "This looks exactly what hit the car and what attacked us in the hallway that night. The tail is what really caught me." Naruto said showing the picture. "They also can still life force from other creatures that live long but they might have an insatiable hunger still and come back wanting more. It is said that Skin walkers will quench their hunger out of everything that is available for them to eat. Problem is that all the creatures that will give them longer lives are rare to find." Naruto said.
"That could be what is going after Naruto." Mikoto said softly to her husband.
"I saw what Naruto seen and that is definitely what is going after him." Fugaku said.
"Then it's settled, we should leave Naruto with Kakashi for a while so he can train him." Mikoto said.
"What?" Sasuke asked slightly annoyed. "You can't leave him with Kakashi." Sasuke growled.
"Naruto needs to train and learn about himself." Mikoto said softly trying to convince her youngest boy while her older boy grabbed Naruto near him to show him the back of the book where the names of the clans were.
"What is this?" Naruto asked looking up at Itachi.
"It is the names of clans. Supernatural clans see if you can find your name." Itachi said as Naruto sat next to him.
"MOM he can't go with Kakashi without me." Sasuke said.
"That's fine honey but he has to go to Kakashi well if he wants to." Mikoto said.
"Why does he have to go to Kakashi's?" Sasuke asked looking toward his father.
"Do you see any names so far?" Itachi asked Naruto.
"Is it possible that a supernatural being not be in the book?" Naruto asked as he glanced at the names looking toward the N's and the U's.
"Yeah it's possible but it is rare for someone not to be on the register of supernatural beings." Itachi said.
"But I'm not," Naruto countered.
"That's correct, but clans tend to up there register every time someone new is born. It is possible that your clan doesn't or didn't know about you because of a runaway." Itachi explained.
"But why would someone run away?" Naruto asked looking up at Itachi.
"Some people escape to be with the people they love. Some escape because their clan doesn't agree with mixing relations such as vampires and humans. Not saying we don't but that's just an example." Itachi said making Naruto blush.
Itachi was shocked and lifted an eyebrow up and decided to talk to his brother later when he had the chance.
"Itachi I don't understand if my mother ran off because she was told that she couldn't be with my father why would neither be in the book?" Naruto asked.
"Are you saying that you know your mom is the supernatural one?" Itachi asked catching everyone's attention.
"No, I just see Uzumaki's crossed out and know my mother's maiden name was Uzumaki. Curious question again what does it mean when someone is crossed out?" Naruto asked.
"When their name is crossed out it means that they died. I didn't think you were from the Uzumaki clan when I heard your name seeing as the clan was wiped out from war." Mikoto said sadly.
"Is it possible that my mother happened to be one of the people to get away?" Naruto asked.
"Naruto what are you asking?" Fugaku asked as Sasuke pulled Naruto away from Fugaku.
"My mother's father is right here but my mother is not on this list." Naruto said pointing out the name in the book.
"Your Kushina Uzumaki's boy? Impossible we heard all of you died the night you were born." Mikoto said shocked.
"You knew my mother?" Naruto asked actually shocked for once.
"Yeah she was a friend of mine. That means you are a hybrid. That would explain why you have enhanced blood the way you do. Your healing abilities alone are amazing." Mikoto said.
"What am I?" Naruto asked.
"I heard last night as I went to talk to an old friend of mine to figure out what you were seeing as you two didn't want us drinking your blood." Fugaku was saying.
"And we didn't want to get attached to your blood we ended up taking it to Kakashi to get it check out and he found out that you are..." Mikoto got cut off by Fugaku.
"A Nagual which is basically instinct and now that we know who your parents are we know that you're mixed with a Kitsune. That explains the red eyes and the amazing healing ability." Fugaku said.
"Which one was my father?" Naruto asked.
"Your father was the Nagual and that explains why you had dreams of your parents. He led you to them." Fugaku said.
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.
"You said you dreamt about them correct and that's what made you look them up?" Fugaku asked.
"Yes," Naruto said tilting his head to the side.
"What my father is trying to say Naruto is that your dad wanted you to know who you are and who your family was. He wanted to let you know that you weren't alone because he is a spiritual being he could probably sense your uneasiness from beyond the grave. It's a comfort really to know someone is looking out for you." Itachi explained.
"Yeah it is," Naruto said with a soft smile that made him look away from them all.
"Well we need to get ready for school so can you all get out." Sasuke said pushing at everyone because he wanted some alone time with Naruto before they went to school.
"At the school Kakashi is the nurse so go to him when you need to." Fugaku said as he went upstairs.
"Can I get some blood now?" Sasuke asked the moment they were all upstairs.
"Are you hungry?" Naruto asked looking at Sasuke with worry.
"I am completely famished. All the blood I was surrounded by from you yesterday made me want to rampage." Sasuke said taking off his shirt to go in his room and change. "Naruto can I ask you something?" Sasuke asked as he was in his room leaving the door open.
"What is it?" Naruto asked.
"Are you excited?" Sasuke asked.
"Kind of I like the thought of being a supernatural creature because it explains everything involving my life." Naruto said. "And I got you and your family so I'm not really worried about it." Naruto said with a smile.
"Why did you have to say something so sweet?" Sasuke asked to himself and moved to Naruto so quick the blonde didn't know what happened until Sasuke had him pinned and he was drinking his blood.
"Sasuke..." Naruto said softly rubbing Sasuke's hair.
Sasuke pulled back and was almost nervous to look at Naruto but did anyway and was in for a blush that he couldn't ignore making him lean his forehead against Naruto's.
"You heard me last night, didn't you?" Sasuke asked shocking Naruto.
"Yes," Naruto said not being able to lie.
"What do you think about what I said? Do you believe me?" Sasuke asked looking directly in Naruto's eyes.
"I don't know how I can believe you. The relationship we have all started off my blood." Naruto said.
"I can prove it to you right now." Sasuke said.
"How?" Naruto asked.
"I won't drink your blood anymore. I will drink the blood packs." Sasuke said.
"Your father said that you can't even handle them." Naruto said as Sasuke got off him.
"I don't care I will keep trying to prove to you that I do care about you more than a blood bag." Sasuke said turning to look at Naruto. "I will prove to you that I love you Naruto Uzumaki for as long as I need to prove it. I love you and it's NOT because of your blood." Sasuke said putting his forehead against Naruto's once again.
Naruto's heart was racing and he knew that Sasuke could hear it but he couldn't exactly move away from the raven.
"I need to go take a shower." Naruto said grabbing his towel and running out the room.
Sasuke just stood there and didn't know what to say. He was slightly hurt over Naruto not believing him but he could do something about that. At least he was fine for the morning getting his little bit of blood from Naruto. He knew this was going to be hell but he would do it for Naruto. He needed to prove it to Naruto. He went upstairs to look for his brother because he needed someone to talk to.
"How are you going to do that little brother?" Itachi asked as he sat at the dining room table with Sasuke.
"I have to do it to prove to him how I feel. Sorry about your car by the way." Sasuke said.
"Yeah it's no problem. I'm just glad the fairies cleaned out the car without a problem." Itachi said shaking his head.
"What would you do if you were in my position?" Sasuke asked.
"Well first I would have never set him up to find you to begin with. Then I would have just told him I like you. That simple little brother." Itachi said folding the paper.
"BUT!" Sasuke started to scream.
"SASSY I'm here, can you believe it?" Suigetsu screamed as he walked in the door.
Naruto walked upstairs just as Suigetsu ran into the kitchen.
"Why?" Naruto whispered to himself making Itachi chuckle gesturing for Naruto to come by him.
Naruto walked up to Itachi ignoring Suigetsu on top of Sasuke.
"You really don't like him." Itachi said with a soft chuckle.
"Not really, where are Mikoto and Fugaku?" Naruto asked.
"My mom is upstairs and my father went to work. I should be heading there but I am taking you two to school with mom." Itachi said.
"Why?" Naruto asked.
"Everyone is feeling slightly paranoid since the whole salamander incident that we want pairs all the time." Itachi explained.
"But Fugaku is alone. What about him?" Naruto asked worried about his father figure.
"Don't worry he will be fine. He has my cousin with him lately well since we moved here that is." Itachi said ruffling Naruto's hair giving him a gentle smile.
"The creature he won't go... after him?" Naruto asked worry clear on his face.
"My father may not look it because he has gotten older but he is strong Naruto have faith in him." Itachi said walking away to his room that happened to be on the first floor down the hall.
"ITACHI I didn't mean it like that." Naruto said about to run after the vampire before Sasuke grabbed him.
"Here you should eat breakfast." Sasuke said as he sat down in Itachi's spot.
"You're not going to eat breakfast?" Naruto asked.
"I already did and I'm fine." Sasuke said.
"Okay," Naruto said eating his toast quickly going after Itachi.
"What's up Sasuke? You're not eating off him anymore?" Suigetsu asked.
"Bastard," Naruto mumbled going to Itachi's room.
"What is it Naruto?" Itachi asked sitting on his bed.
"Why does it feel so different here?" Naruto asked.
"What do you mean?" Itachi asked.
"Well it feels like the world shifted in a sense." Naruto said.
"Naruto do you feel different here?" Itachi asked.
"Yeah, like I want to run away from it." Naruto said.
"What do you mean?" Itachi asked closing his book.
"It just feels bad being here and that I want to run away from it." Naruto explained sitting in Itachi's room.
"That's weird maybe it's because I heard there are some Uzumaki's in the area. Whatever you do don't say your last name to anyone. For now, on you're an Uchiha." Itachi declared.
"Understood," Naruto said nodding his head.
"TIME TO GO!" Mikoto screamed by the door.
They all started to walk to the living room area where she was.
"Itachi why are you here?" Mikoto asked sighing.
"Father went with Shisui so he told me to go with you." Itachi explained.
"Okay, let's go." Mikoto said looking at everyone to stop and look at Naruto. "I'm sure Itachi told you but you have to say your name is Uchiha not Uzumaki understand? If your clansmen find out that you're around then you will have to go with them. I will let you go if you want to go but I don't want anyone to force you." Mikoto said making Sasuke clench his fist at the thought of Naruto leaving.
"Let's go mom." Itachi said tapping his brother's shoulder.
"Yes let's," Mikoto said.
Naruto was behind everyone and went straight to Sasuke pulling him back.
"I won't leave." Naruto said looking Sasuke into his eyes.
Sasuke let a soft smile come onto his face as they walked out the door. Everyone was in the car and in front of the school before anyone could blink.
"Naruto, Sasuke have a good day you too Suigetsu. Be good, all your classes are together. Sasuke I put those blood packs in tomato containers for you." Mikoto said softly passing them their schedules.
"Thanks mother," Sasuke said.
"Be safe and don't go anywhere without each other." Mikoto said softly.
"I will be here after school for you two or three." Itachi said looking at Suigetsu.
"Okay," Naruto said being the first to get out.
"Naruto honey comes here." Mikoto said waving at him. "Please be careful about using your name. Remember you're an Uchiha understand?" Mikoto said softly.
"I thought I was always an Uchiha." Naruto said with a smile.
"Of course, you are now go on my boy." Mikoto said giving him a kiss on the cheek and sent him off.
"No way is he an Uchiha." A brunette said looking at Naruto from the windows with his bug friend.
"We will find out." The other said and he sent the bugs out.
Review...
Now I know Naruto was different then his usual self in this chapter compared to before but there is a reason. There is always a reason for how Naruto acts. I HOPE everyone is okay with the results. The reason I made him a Hybrid instead of just one thing is because the results were tied and I didn't want to dishonor my readers that wanted him those particular creatures. I also hope you liked the background for all the creatures I let out there. That not drinking blood part of the story is going to play a big role in the deciding factor of Sasuke and Naruto's love.
