Naruto Raised by a Wild Horse
"Speech"
'Thought'
/Kyuubi/
Yugito Nii was one of the foremost stealth and tracking ninjas among the ranks of the Hidden cloud village. Instinctively silent, her footsteps made no tracks or sounds in the mountain terrain. Her current two masters were not nearly so stealthy. Proved by the displaced stones and irritable mutterings. Her leash bearers were of the lower level of their power group. Power didn't mean much when she was bound to them by seals.
A stab of pain in her side brought her attention sharply back to her task. The taller of the two masked anonymous ninja had a sparkle of amusement in his eye and his hand clenched in a seal.
"Pay attention, Beast! We must find the prize quickly." Releasing the seal the pain in her side disappeared.
Sniffing the air and examining the area provided enough for her to locate their prey.
"Twenty meters to the west. They've stopped at a cliff and.." scenting the air deeply she continued to report. "There is fresh blood from the girl in the air."
"Quickly then while they have stopped we can corner them." The shorter ninja claimed rushing toward the cliffs. Yugito followed their lead hiding her resentment of her current keepers.
Meanwhile at the caravan escorting the Raikage.
An elderly man in green robes of moderate quality addressed the Raikage as he tended the man's minor wounds.
"My Lord, the samples are still secured. There is no need to chase after the girl now." After smearing some cream on a laceration, from a Summoned creatures claw, he found himself being lifted by the neck into the air.
Slowly the Raikage began to speak.
"We have been humiliated. I had a rabbit the size of a mountain bear summoned upon my head. I want my prize and those who would dare to so blatantly attack me, in my own country no less, to suffer greatly for what they've done." Seeing the foremost medical ninja of the village turning blue he released the man.
Falling to the ground and gasping for air the old man knelt in apology to his lord. An apology that the Raikage ignored in preference of seeking his comfortable if slightly damaged carriage.
Giving an evil look toward the leader of his village he moved to his own cart near the back of the caravan. Carefully opening a triple reinforced and sealed chest he viewed their true prize. One jar held about a liter of Hyuuga blood. The other held, floating in a chakra infused solution, two properly preserved Hyuuga eyes. Smiling the man congratulated his own foresight. The council would be displeased with the Raikage for losing the girl, but he'd be rewarded.
After all they could have bred the girl without her eyes easily. The Raikage had intended to do that himself once the girl had reached a suitable age. He'd simply felt that a blind concubine would be easier to control. The man's position was largely due to his political abilities not his ninja skills.
Content the medic sat comfortable while those around him rushed to repair the carts and wagons that were damaged in the ambush.
Back with the two Saotome girls they were finding their little princess was in some bad shape.
"Uggh, that is disgusting..." Naruto said as he looked at the now bandage less girl.
"It's bad, but..." Moving her hands imbued with green chakra over the voids that once held eyes.
"Naruto, want to help your Princess again?" Looking at the boy who nodded hesitantly she gestured for him to sit in front of her.
"We have a few moments before our pursuers arrive. Do you recall the time you went swimming and that shark got at you?" Not the most pleasant of times in wave country, but once they'd caught the shark they had a great meal.
"That hurt a lot. But my hand grew back real quick." Naruto looked at his left hand that was slightly less tan than the rest of his skin. It had indeed only taken a few moments for the missing appendage to grow back in a flash of red makai energy. Excruciatingly painful yes, but also very short time wise.
"Okay, I need you to pull up some of your makai. Let it flow into your system carefully." As Naruto pulled the energy from his seal Ranma carefully, with speed capable of throwing hundreds of punches in an instant, plucked Naruto's now tinted red eyes from his head. Placing them in the girls head in one smooth motion.
Keeping her left hand full of healing energy, and on the girls new head she turned to watch her son's eyes almost instantly reform with energy and finally flesh.
"Wow, didn't feel a thing." Blue eyes were once again his.
Suddenly three ninjas appeared blocking the entrance to the cliff's edge.
"Okay, now the fun begins."
Within the seal.
Since Naruko ,as she called herself, had arrived the area within the Kyuubi's seal had gone through some renovations. Gone was the creepy looking sewer system. Instead it was a series of springs with irrigation ways leading to one main pool. This pool was a swirling mix of energies. Currently turned red from the combination of one of the springs, and a irrigation channel from a deep ditch in front of the Kyuubi's cell door.
The couch and big screen television had been replaced by a recliner for Ranko, a day bed for the large cat, and a screen reminiscent of a movie theatre. The sound system was pretty good too.
Off to the side was a wall of shelves with dvds and a electronic entertainment system. Some titles were obvious as Naruto's first Party to exotic training attempts/with blooper reels. Of course, the Kyuubi was as vile as ever.
"I still say we should watch the one with the bath house and those chicks that thought he was so adorable when he got lost in the woman's side." Rolling her eyes Naruko typed away at her laptop connection with Jusenkyou's operating system.
Okay maybe the powerful being was just a pervert. That seems to be the trend.
To be continued.
Thought I'd get back to the two main characters for a bit. Thanks go out to Azereath for catching my 'oops' at the end. That's next chapter. -Looks sheepish.-
