Chapter Eight
It was after class, and anybody that had a paper that did not change went home. The rest stayed, awaiting for the hokage to come back. In the back Shikamaru turned to the blond next to him. He smirk a little at the boy's attire and looks.
"Well, a dress is a step up from pajamas. I also have a name to the face now, don't I whiskers.."
Naruto grumbled," That was one time, I happen to like this Short Kimono, and if you have my name now why don't you use it?" you could see a tint of pink gracing his cheeks.
"Since I've only called you whiskers whenever I thought about you, it seems to troublesome to call you by something different." Shikamaru said, his smirk never disappearing.
Naruto then gleamed,"Oh, I'm flattered to know that I've been on your mind." he giggled when the Nara's smirk vanished and a blush appeared on his face.
"Oh, so you recognize him, but don't remember me?" a female voice sassed. Naruto turned a his face lit up at seeing the familiar pink haired, green eyed girl.
"Sakura-chan! It's good to see you." he chirped," So, did you get you a trainer?"
Sakura smiled, she had on a mesh tank with a red tank-top under. On top of that was a camo vest with a hood, and her pants were a pair of dark tan cargo pants. Her feet were covered by black combat boots. "I'm here aren't I, by the way, thank you for the help. If it wasn't for you I probably turned out like her." she stated pointing at the platinum blond girl who was trying to gain the attention of the dark haired boy the was brooding in the corner.
Naruto giggled," So who's your trainer?"
"His name is Ibiki, he's pretty tough, and a little scary, but he's like a giant teddy bear once you get to know him. Well as long as it's not training. When he trains, he turns into a sadistic and psychotic torture machine." Sakura explained with a smile," I wouldn't have it any other way, though."
Naruto smiled at the girl, glad that he could help a future kunoichi, as well as friend. He heard a loud cough, and blushed when he realized that Kiba, Durga, and Shikamaru had their attention on him. "Sorry, um Shikamaru, Sakura this is my teammates, well more like family, Kiba and Durga. Guys this is Shikamaru, I ran into a day or two before we left, and this is Sakura, I found her in the park,and helped her out before we left as well." He watched as they were introduced and smiled slightly as Durga began to converse with Sakura. Kiba had Akamaru in his arms as he tried to chip in on the two girls. He just glanced back at Shikamaru and gave him a small smile. Shikamaru returned the smile, but then their attention was drawn to the front of the room. Hiruzen walked in, and smiled at the children as they settled down back in their seats.
"Hello, sorry to keep you waiting, you're probably wondering what those pieces of paper were for." The third said," It has come to my attention about the origins of bloodlines." This definitely got their notice,and the kids all listened intensely," One of my trusted anbu had analyzed some blood of some bloodline users and found something in common. Each sample had a trace of what's known as youkai. This is power that comes from demons. Now, most think that demons are bad monsters, most of which are not. Following his lead he found a scroll that explained where bloodlines came from. It stated that some demons had blessed some of the humans with a gift that passed on in their family, they then became the families summon. Other demons took on human form and started to create a family. Over time as they began to mix with humans, their great history was lost. Those papers were created to see if you were only blessed by the demons, or had actual demon blood in the family. The ones who had light blue papers were blessed, the purple ones are actual descendants of demons."
"Is there a reason you would want to know which ones had demonic blood, or is it just pure curiosity?" Shikamaru spoke up, surprising some of the kids.
Sarutobi smiled at the lazy boy," Yes there is a reason, along with finding this great information, the anbu also found a way for those with demonic blood to unlock their heritage, with their and their parents permission of course." This had almost everyone on the edge of their seats," I would like to talk to the parents of the students whose paper turned purple, personally." He then bowed slightly before taking his leave.
Naruto smirked," Nicely played old man," he thought as the brooding male soon left with his blond fangirl soon following. The pale eyed girl left as well, stuttering about being late to family training. All that was left was Naruto, Shikamaru, Kiba, Durga, Sakura, a big boned boy, and a silent spiky hair boy. Naruto then sighed as he looked back at his friends," As much fun as this was we have to go, we kinda need to get situated into our homes again."
Shikamaru snorted, while Sakura giggled at the blond," Ok whiskers, see ya tomorrow, as troublesome as it is, I got to go tell my parents what happened today." Soon the rest left the academy, and Naruto and Durga had walked Kiba to the Inuzuka compound. When they got to the compound, they were surprised when inside a lot of anbu, all the Inuzuka family, and the hokage were there with a welcome home sign.
The three kids smiled brightly as Tsume came up to them with gifts in hand," Welcome home gaki's! These presents are for you", she said, handing a wrapped package to each of them to Durga's surprise. " Tonight we celebrate the returning of family, so relax, tomorrow is when your life as ninja really start." and with that the three children hastily opened their gifts. Kiba's grinned widened as he saw that he had some books about medical ninjas and starters to become one. Durga eyes softened and had a small smile when her gaze found an outfit that had originated from her clan. Anko spoke softly to her," When we came back, I went back to your village and found it, it's still too big, but I'm sure it'll fit when you're a bit older." the dark girl just smiled and hugged her tightly.
It was when Naruto gasped, that everyone looked at the blonde, whose eyes were widen with tears rolling down them. In his hands, was a baby book that was a light orange with his name elegantly embroided on it in azure blue, and a key tied to it with a simple ribbon. When he looked inside he was shocked to find pictures of his parents, mostly ones of a very pregnant Kushina and Minato looking or building baby stuff, or them just talking to him while he was still an unborn child. Sometimes there was someone else, like Kakashi, was in the picture. What really got to him though, was the last picture in the book. It was of his parents who were both smiling widely as they stood in what appeared to be a baby's room.
Naruto was so absorbed in the picture, he didn't even notice that Kakashi had come over and gathered him in his arms as he cried. "Why don't we go to your new house and get you settled in?" The blonde boy just silently nodded, not protesting when his silver haired sensei had carried him. They left and swiftly made their way to Naruto's clan home. The symbol was the Uzumaki swirl, but in the middle there was a three pronged seal in the middle. They didn't really take a tour through the house, but they did stop to gaze at the nursery when they came upon it. Both looking at the room in a rueful manner as they were within their minds, one lost in the past, the other lost in wistful wishes. They then found other rooms to settle down and sleep for the rest of the evening.
When Naruto awoke again sometime early morning, he took the time to actually explore the house and paused when he found his parents room. He let the details of the room sink in when he entered. He then went over to the bedside table where he saw a haite sitting upon it. Naruto smiled slightly as his eyes saw his clan's mark on it. He then lifted it gently and tied it around his waist like a belt. Later he got ready and went to the Inuzuka's to meet with Kiba and Durga, who spent the night, then they headed off to the academy together. He was happy to spot a seat next to Shikamaru, and thus sat there as he waited for the school day to be over with. When it was over and most of the kids went home the hokage stepped into the room. Shikamaru's and the boy's, known as Shino, parent were in the room as well when he came. They just waited for him to talk.
"I'm sure you were told as to why I'm here in need of your presence." Sarutobi stated plainly. Shikamaru's dad, Shikaku, replied," You found out the origins behind the bloodlines, and that some of us had demonic blood, you wanted our permission to let our children unlock it." he summarized what his son told him.
The third nodded before he went to explain more,"Yes, the demonic form while hard to access at first is a great trump card, not only does it add to your abilities, but it gives you the advantage of surprise."
Shino's dad just said," As long as my son agrees I'm okay with it." to which Shikaku agreed with. They both looked at their child who both looked to be in deep thought.
Shikamaru sighed,"It would be a great advantage to have it as a wild card, nobody would think that we had demonic power and it could be very useful in case of something big, like war."
Shino added," Yes, and I am very curious as to what our forms would be. But I do have to ask, what are we risking if we do this?"
Naruto deemed it time to let his presence be known again," The risk is your life." Everybody looked at him. " When Durga and I got access to our forms we weren't in as much danger as Kiba was, for the simple fact that we had no human blood in us. My mother and father didn't know it, but they both were full blooded demons. Since Kiba actually had human blood, his process took longer since his body had to expel any human blood within his body so his demonic blood could take control. It was a god awful bloody mess. When were honestly worried for a while that he wouldn't have made it. Fortunately he did, so now he's no more human than me or her." Everybody had looked at the boy in shock, besides his two teammates, and he just sighed.
"I'll do it." Shikamaru stated making Naruto look at him with something close to shock, he thought he scared them off. Shino spoke up as well," As will I, I believe it is worth the risk if it will help me become a better shinobi." Naruto smiled as he saw the pride that was in the eyes of the fathers of the kids. Then Hiruzen rumbled with laughter," What a way to think my boy, alright, as it is, I would like you to follow me." He then walked out of the classroom, the group following him to hidden training ground. "I'm going to let Naruto explain how to unlock their demon side." he turned to the boy giving him a nod.
Naruto walked up slowly then sat down in a meditative pose motioning for the two boys to do the same which they did after seeing Kiba and Durga follow Naruto's command. " Now to find this power in you, you have to look deep within yourself. Along with your chakra pools, there is a core of power within your body. This power is known as youkai. You have to immerse your whole being in youkai to bring out your form."
Shikamaru nodded, but appeared to be confused about something," How will we know that we aren't immersing ourselves with chakra?"
"Youkai feels different. Think of it like this, when you use chakra, what does your chakra feel like?" Naruto asked.
"Mine feels...like a presence that's there but I can't see, like a shadow, it make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up." Shikamaru stated.
Shino also answered," I always got the feeling of being grounded to the earth."
Naruto hmmed," Okay, well think of feeling something completely more intense, Like being submerged in the shadows, or becoming one with the earth. Youkai is way more extreme, and trust me when I say you'll know it when you feel it."
The boys nodded and started to meditate. Just like with them, it took hours before they felt any kind of change. Shino was first, his form becoming that of a huge devil's flower mantis. While it was kind of creepy, Naruto thought that really fitted the Aburame. Then he took out two cloaks from one of his storage seals. When Shino turned back he wrapped him up looking up at Shibi," Get him home, the process of blood expulsion should start in an hour or so. Make sure he gets water every couple hours." The man nodded, before swiftly leaving.
Naruto turned back to Shikamaru whose father, stood watching his boy acutely. Sighing, he went up to the man, ignoring the giggles of his family by bond. He just sat down beside the man, waiting to see Shikamaru's form.
Shikaku spoke quietly," You know, he told me about you, about how to first met each other by literally running into each other," Naruto blushed slightly at that, but the man just continued," He said you never told him your name, so he referred to you as whiskers. It really shocked me that he was interested enough for him to try and become your friend. He normally never does that, but he said something that day that I'll never forget. He said, his eyes were as lonely as the sky when it was cloudless. He couldn't let you be alone, so he was determined to become your friend."
Naruto was shocked, he never thought someone would want to become his friend, sure he had Kiba and Durga, but he was just becoming used to them as family. He still wasn't use to kind gestures. As he was about to reply everybody tensed. The felt the strong presence leaking from Shikamaru, and though it was stronger than the aura Kiba,Shino, and Durga gave off, it wasn't as mighty as Naruto's was. Everybody still gasped as they took in Shikamaru's form as it trilled loudly, It was a giant black bird that seemed to have shadows for wings. Naruto knew this form, knew exactly what Shikamaru was.
Lightly he gasped not noticing the look he got from Shikaku," A...a shadow phoenix!"
A/N: Okay so this is chapter eight. Hope ya'll enjoy, oh also I'm gonna ask the reader this. I was wondering if anyone wanted to draw Naruto, Shikamaru, and Durga in their demonic forms. If you do, just pm me the link to the pic. If I think one of them fits the story the best I'll put the link up in my next chapter.
