Naruto talking to Aidan

Aidan talking to Naruto

Dragon's Blood

My Strength within you

Naruto was walking the path home; he ideally wondered what Gai-sensei would say when he found out, that he was training under Kakashi?

Pushing open the sliding door he called out "Gai-sensei? Are you home? Lee-aniki want to train?" the house was quite, too quite for this place. Naruto crept forward, moving with caution through the room.

Pushing open the door to the back yard, Naruto made his way to Aidan cave "Aidan? Are you here?" he called out; Naruto didn't hear a response, worried he move into the cave, his blue eyes scanned the cave looking for Aidan.

Blue eyes landed on a sleeping dragon "Aidan?" rushing over to dragon, Naruto kneeled down; he put his hand on the dragon's head "Aidan! Wake up! What's wrong?" by now Naruto was really worried, Aidan never fell asleep during the day.

Two shadows loomed over the blond "Naruto" one spoke obviously male was his thick voice; Naruto looked up startled, upon looking up he saw two people, the one that had spoken to him and standing next to him was a women.

The man was very pale, more so then even Sasuke, with long thick black hair, shinning ocean gray eyes, his ears were pointed at the top, and he wore a silver colored tunic and black slacks. His companion had a soft looking face, and was equally pale, lush golden hair rolling down her back, a vagrant blue eyes, she had the same pointed ears, and she wore a leather bodice that hugged her upper body, it reveled a bit of skin, cotton legging hugged her hips, and black boots covered her feet.

Naruto got to his feet and placed himself protectively in front of the sleeping Aidan, with Kunai in hand Naruto glared at these strange people "I don't know who you are, or what you want! But if you want to live tell me what the HELL you did to Aidan!" Naruto willed his body to not move. The two beings in front of him chuckled the male one spoke "Naruto, we mean you know harm, we have done nothing to Aidan, she is going through the final stage into adult hood, tonight she will shed her baby skin, and you will come into you limit" the woman spoke next "We have been sent to guide you Naruto and teach you the ancient language so you may know what to do with you awakened limit"

Naruto growled "And why should I trust you?" the couple in front of him bowed before him, the woman spoke again "I am Malrín Hinor, I have been sent as a representative of the western woods Elves," The man spoke next "I'm Dúrvain Inthenin, I've been sent by the high council to represent the eastern mountain Elves," they both stood, Malrín spoke again "other will come, dragon keeper and they too only wish to add you" Dúrvain stepped forward "you're the first Dragon keeper in over a thousand years, twelve generation in fact, your whole line have been dragon keeper!"

Naruto took a deep breath "ok, what kind of limit are we talking about? Is it like the Sharigan or maybe the Byakugan? And second what's a dragon keeper?"

Malrín smiled "your limit is nothing like any regular ninja bloodline, your limit once it is active will allow you to use the ancient words of power and allow you to find you true name, I guess you could call it magic in a way…" Dúrvain finished her sentence "As for a dragon keep it means you are the one chosen to fight evil and protect the light as well as make sure the dragon race stays safe from danger"

Naruto looked at Aidan "so Aidan's ok she just sleeping?" the two elves nodded "And I'm going to be able to speak the ancient words and use magic at midnight?" again the elves nodded "And we will train both you and Aidan to be great warrior!" Dúrvain said happily "Where is Lee-aniki and Gai-sensei?" the two elves looked at each other for a moment and sighed "you see we were really getting annoyed by them and we told them they were bad host" Malrín began to say, Dúrvain interrupted and continued to tell the tale "They both declared they were sorry and swore as an apology to run 500 laps around Konoha…and there actually doing that" Naruto laughed full of merit and lead the two elves inside to relax until midnight.

Night was slowing creeping up over Konoha; the hours seemed to fly by, Naruto was in deep thought, the things he was told made him wonder, who were his parents? Did they die in the Kyuubi's attack? Which parent did he inherit the dragon keeper line from? Each question baffled him more and more.

Looking out the window he watched as the sun set behind the clouds, watched as the sky turned pink, red, orange, light blue, and dark blue; smiling softly, Naruto always felt calm around this time of day, laying his head on the table, the blonde felt his eyes grow heavy and sleep washed over him.

Pain, was what woke Naruto up, screaming in agony Naruto fell from the chair he was sitting at and withered around in pain; he felt as if he was burning up inside, like his own blood had poisoned him as it pumped through his veins, his lungs wouldn't fill with air, he felt light headed, air! He wanted air! The room seemed to become bright, he felt like he was staring at the sun, it was so bright! Naruto felt painful darkness overcome him as he blacked out.

Opening his eyes again, the world had returned to normal, sitting up he found himself on his bed. Naruto stretched his aching body and looked at his clock; his eyes widened "OH CRAP I'M LATE!" Naruto grabbed his kunais and gear he made a mad dash for the training fields.

Upon entering the grounds, Naruto spotted Ino and Sasuke, but no Kakashi "sorry I'm late, things happened yesterday…" Before he could finish Ino was up close and personal "What things? It better not be a girl cause let me tell you I'm the only girl for you!" she glomped unto him and hugged her arms tightly around him "Ino…I can't breath when you hug me like that!" Ino giggled "Naruto be a man! If me hugging you hurt how are you going to Hokage?" Naruto sighed know it was a losing battle

Kakashi appeared three hours later, Ino and Naruto were growling, Kakashi just chuckled at them "Sorry I'm late but I got lost on the road of life," he was greeted with team reply of "LIAR!" Naruto added his two cents to the conversation "Only an idiot could get lost on a one lane road!" Kakashi twitched at that comment. The Jonin pulled out two bells from his pocket "Your mission is to take these bells from me, if you can't do that then, it right back to the academy for all of you!" Ino spoke up "But sensei there are only two bells!" Kakashi shrugged "Well then I guess only two of you will become official genins of Konoha" Kakashi placed the bells on his belt "You have until noon to retrieve these bells or no launch for any one of you!"

Naruto blinked and mumbled to himself "this might be my only chance to get away from Ino…." Naruto smiled and looked up at Kakashi "Hey sensei since your only going to pass two of us I give up! Ino and Sasuke can have the bells; there much better ninjas then me!"

Ino growled, there was no way she'd let Naruto give up like that; not after all the trouble she went through to be on his team "Naruto if you quite I'll beat you within an inch of your life!" She grabbed hold of Naruto's collar and proceeded to strangle him before shouting "If you give up I give up, I'll go back to the fucking academy if that what it takes to not abandon my teammate!"

Sasuke felt his nerves twitch, he thought logically; he needed to move on, and maybe impress Hinata, he needed the two idiots as his team sighing he spoke up "Looks like I'm stuck with them, you can't train just one genin so yeah what they said"

Kakashi blinked, had Naruto planed this all out in second? Did he know the other two would follow him to failure? The Jonin smiled, the blond boy was a genius! He managed to make them work as a team by sacrificing himself in order for his teammates to pass; however, his teammates refused to leave the blond boy behind and decided to give up their change at becoming ninjas just to stay together!

Kakashi smile got wider "You all pass!" the bewailed faces of his new team made him go on "This test was to measure your ability to work as a team; Naruto that was a brilliant plan! Sacrificing yourself in order for you're teammates to pass and you guys refusing to leave him behind and decided to give up your chances at becoming ninjas just to stay together!"

Naruto felt like crying, he liked being called brilliant, but he really wanted to get away from Ino, talk about you backfired plan.

Ino was smiling "Naruto I should have known you'd never give up!" she hugged him again

Sasuke was blinking, to say the least he was confused, looking over at Naruto he wondered "Is Naruto really that smart?"

Kakashi spoke again gaining the groups attention "Anyway since we've got some time how about a few mission" the genins jumped for joy.

Naruto was standing outside the cave, Aidan, and the two elves beside him; the sky showed that it was late in the evening. Malrín was smiling "Naruto, Aidan in order to use magic and this limit you must be in sync with each others" Naruto nodded

Naruto removed the glove covering the mark and focused on it, Aidan seemed to be doing the some thing. Dúrvain stepped forward "Remember the word for fire, feel it in your veins the passion! The heat! Let it course through your body" Naruto's eyes closed, he felt Aidan mind right next to his own, he felt her love for him, the warmth washing over him, the ancient word fluttered in his head "brisingr!" the silver mark on his hand began to glow red, and flames shot out of his palm, Naruto's eyes widened at the scorch marking over the back yard; he sighed, Gai-sensei was so going to make him run 600 laps around Konoha for this.
