Naruto's speech
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, or get any profit from writing this story. I do this for my own purpose of having fun.
A/N: I posted two chapters this week so most likely if you follow this story you should go back to chapter 8 then go to this one also I will finally go somewhere with this story ha-ha I know I drag things out to far but I really like taking it kind of slow lol
Naruto walked into the Hokage's office sporting his big usual grin at there improved demeanors from the time he was there before, but with the fangs it gave a more scary effect then a cheerful one.
Walking towards the group the young shinobi's took special interest in the way he walked and tried to take in the subtle nuances of his walk that Kiba had mentioned in there earlier conversation. That small change in focus was enough to make most of the group gasp.
They could see that his legs express an aura of a proud man who you could show the utmost respect for while giving a twin feeling of a beast, which merely lived for the hunt.
His arms – now coverless along with the rest of his body due to his kimono burning- expressed a kind man who could protect anyone he wanted, but again were set with stringy muscles reminding the group of a wolf or some ragged animal, and the claws. The claws attached to his arms, showed nothing but an animal it was still human enough to do hand signs but not enough to hold a pair of chop sticks or anything that would take skills to use.
The Chest was manly, more defined and clearly not the worst part of his transformation, Chouji was feeling a bit plump, Shikamaru could only scoff and the women, well the kunoichi were obviously surprised as well but not complaining – what girl could resist if Tsunade herself couldn't resist herself?
The whole thing was as Kiba said and more, it was terrifying to think that this was a 15 year old he looked to be near 20, but then a few looked up to his eyes and, couldn't decide. The eyes were to confusing lonely, happy, sad, optimistic, immature, childish, scared, brave, and a pacifist, anger maybe? Everything that could sum up the person and everything that contradicted his existence was in his eyes.
How could a person think while being everything and nothing?
"Sorry about no shirt it burned off during practice" Naruto said
"Its quite fine naruto did you make any head way?" Tsunade asked
"I can touch without my chakra burning what ever it is but I need Yamato's help and a lot of concentration" Naruto said
"Well its beter then nothing" she said sadly "at least it proves it's possible to control it"
"Yeah I'll have it down in no time! So what's the plan ba-chan?"
She picked up the pad of notes she had written earlier which had the schedule for all of naruto's "classes" he would be taking in with the help of his friends and thumbed through it before ripping off an identical copy and giving it to him to read himself
"I had this group come as you already know for training that they will be guiding over, and before you ask I chose your friends to be you teachers for my own reasons and I won't be saying." Tsunade said with a hint of anger
"I don't have a problem with that" 'why is she already so angry before I even ask?'
"So first off in your training you will be getting physical therapy from Gai and rock lee from 5:00-7:00am sense with the muscle growth your muscles are still to tense for you to run.
After that Hinata-Chan" Tsunade said with an extremely mocking tone as if to insinuate something while she gave a sly look Hinata's way "Hinata–Chan will be running a full diagnostic's on your body after every training from 7:00-8:00" Hinata was blushing redder then ever after having Tsunade say that to him, her crush – it was bad enough in front of her friends.
Naruto after hearing that began to squint his eyes looking like a fox and then leaned over so only she could hear "um Tsunade what does that mean?" naruto asked confused
"Hinata will explain when you get there tomorrow and you can eat during the check up" Tsunade said as she receded into her mind
'I don't want her to have a heart attack just yet, your friends might not know about your crush for naruto but that doesn't mean Kurenai didn't say anything'Tsunade thought
Scratching the back of his head he straightened himself out and look over to Hinata "Ok ha-ha no problem" I should probably ask about why she is always blushing seems like a bad fever if she passes out from it so often
"after you will be going to the Inuzuka estate to train your new sense's with Kiba and possibly Shino but that depends on your reaction with animals from 9-10:30 that training will be left entirely to him and his family I will have no say in the mater for the time being, unlike your other trainers I don't have experience with Inuzuka techniques so im leaving it up to his mother to over stay his training."
"O-ok"
"Then from 11:00-1:00 you will be with the entirety of team ten, Yamanaka Ino Nara Shikamaru, and Akamichi Chouji. They will all be working solely for your mental status" Naruto immediately gave a panicked look towards the three giving thought to what might happen with that group. Tsunade saw, understood, and let Naruto's small panic attack go as it was nothing then continued her speech
"You will be practicing strategy with Shikamaru-san, Chouji-san will be providing you with all of your meals for your new diet you will be sticking to from now on, while engaging in friendly talk, all the while Ino inspects your head, this is going to be one of your more relaxing classes as the class will be over long before that time"
Tsunade desperately stared at Naruto and still saw his worried complexion on his face and desperately tired to scrounge for all the reasons why he would be so worried, unable to think of anything serious she moved on with the monologue once more
"After that you will have more rehabilitation with Sai and Ten-ten, with his art skills I wanted him to train your for everyday life and Ten-ten can help with your physical memory for throwing kunai and that mater then finally if ready written seals until 3:00 and then from there you will work with Hinata again along with Neji where they will give you some chakra control exercises. Then finally I want Kurenai to run some genjutsu tests on you which we will start after some physiological tests"
Taking it all in naruto put a hand to his face in concentration taking it all in, trying to get more comfortable he moved to rest his hands on the chair in front of him till it started to burn once again at his touch and he moved away with another frustrated pout. Then looking up with a curious gaze he asked "what about Sakrua-Chan?"
"She will come in after your chakra control has hit a high enough level that she could be of any use" Tsunade answered
"Ok so anything else I should know?" Naruto asked looking a bit excited for the coming days
"Well actually… there is the mater of other shinobi countries and-"Tsunade started but was cut off by Naruto
"I already know Kakashi-sensei explained" looking down sad he turned his head up and looked to those around him with a sad face on "I don't need to hear it twice now I just want to know about missions"
"Well though I am surprised you still want to be a shinobi and go on missions you don't have to worry, all of the, precautions have been taken care of…" Most of the group looked up towards Naruto's head with a sad face giving Naruto a strange smell that confused him, which he merely brushed off as unimportant. I guess by preparations she means told the other villages… I guess it couldn't be helped.
"So anything else, Ba-Chan?"
"…No"
"Then can I speak to you alone"
Merely giving a nod she waved the others out who gave there small good byes. Sakura had tried to give him a hug but remembered the Youki and walked out crying. Turning back around he tried to say something to the girl but couldn't think of anything and waved good bye to the group.
"I take it she's crying because she is afraid of me Ba-Chan"
"Stop calling me that right now, try to be serious and think straight she, feels bad for you"
"Well she didn't seem too hard pressed when she first told Neji and Shikamaru my secret…"
Trying to find something to say to soothe his nerves she couldn't find anything to say but "… I don't think you came here to complain about Sakura were you."
Not taking his eyes off the ground he responded with a weak "No…"
"You do know the only reason the rest of the group wasn't crying is because you don't show them how you feel…"
"I suppose" still looking at the ground
"Friends are there for you to lean when times become too hard, why wont you open up to them"
"…"
"Are you listening?" waiting for another pause she lost her cool "ANSWER ME-"
"BECAUSE IT DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT!-" not even waiting for her to respond he went on "Why should I weight down people with there own problems it isn't right to me! Its hard enough right now just trying to talk to you about getting your help, I-"
Something was wrong naruto's chakra started going hay wire and he felt his body start to twitch as all the chakra he tried to how back in his anger and it was pouring out of him the same as when he had been possessed he instantly knew what was wrong. "T-Tsunade … Run!
By then it was too late in Tsunade's case. Acting fast Naruto ran to the window trying his hardest not to trip from his cramped muscles or pass out from the Kyubi's attempts to take over his body
When the smoke finally cleared Tsunade was practically coughing up a lung from the smoke, she was currently out of the effects of her age hiding genjutsu, and all of naruto's friends were rushing in to see what happened in the office.
Ino saw the smoke in the air and Tsunade doubled over looking sickly and instantly looked to naruto. She could see Nara and Yamanaka seals adorned on his back and instantly thought of how she didn't want to have to use them. "Naruto what did you do?!?"
Naruto stood looking away from the group of his friends holding his head "Im still talking to her please go!"
"We need you to calm down Naruto" Shikamaru said in a calm voice
Twisting his head back showing his fangs bared and his eyes a blood red he yelled in all his rage "Go away!"
"Naruto! Stop this why are you-"
"PLEASE YOU NEED TO-" Naruto's chakra instantly stopped flowing out of his body and went down to the ground holding his neck coughing out an incredible amount of blood. Everyone looked to see what happened to Naruto and instantly knew what was going on.
"Kiba-Kun please stop don't use the seal naruto It sounds like naruto is trying to warn us more then scare us"
"If he doesn't calm down I won't stop using my clans curse seal" Kiba said
"You're going to kill him Kiba!" Ino pleaded
"They put 6 seals on him for a reason this won't kill the Kyubi"
Hinata instantly slapped him across face with the chakra of her gentle style throwing the teenager to the ground releasing Naruto from the Jutsu and immediately causing him to pant showing how close he was to dieing. "HE ISN'T THAT DEMON THAT KILLED OUR FAMILY'S HE IS-"
She couldn't even finish her sentence before she herself was knocked unconscious by her colder older cousin, Neji
"This is exactly what I was talking about the other day when I made her leave the restaurant." Neji knew like he said "her secret" and he knew how she would act around him so he wasn't to surprised turning to Naruto once again he activated the curse seal on his fore head. Naruto was once again doubled over in pain, writhing, and cradling his head. Shino and Shikamaru soon followed suit which caused naruto to slow in movement and Naruto's shadow to boil. Shino's Jutsu on the other hand released the nest inserted into his abdomen which in turn made his skin "bulge" as it conformed to the nasty parasites movements. The rest of the team turned there heads trying not to see the disgusting sight. The chakra eventually faded away and the trio stopped there torturous seals. The veins on naruto's forehead disappeared, his shadow stopped boiling and the bugs receded into there nest. Walking up finally seeing that naruto was done moving Neji looked in his face and said "anything you have to say?"
"…Th-thank you" and then with a last smile he drifted off into his dreams leaving an incredibly confused group of teens.
