Acidic Properties
"Sarutobi!"
"Hokage-Sama!"
The screams were interrupted as a powerful wave of energy washed over them, silencing them from making another step or sound.
The green glove, bestowed upon his wrist by the Thing no, An-Sid, slowly made its way back up the bed and onto Naruto's bare arm; as the power faded and motion came back to the five bystanders, the two youngest, Fugaku and Hiashi fell to the ground, asleep, as if they had been knocked out by a strange force and no memory of what transpired, seeing that their faces were neutral, no fear being held back. However, the same could not be said about the older two.
Homura shut the door behind him and the turned to speak his mind. "Sarutobi…what the hell was that?!"
"I-I-I…I don't know." He said, stuttering as he was trying to find the right words.
"What happened to Hiashi and Fugaku?" Koharu asked.
"Obviously passed out due to the force of whatever that thing was producing." Sarutobi said as he moved closer to Naruto to check on him. He placed two fingers on his neck to check for a pulse and found it after a moment.
"What the hell is that thing Sarutobi?" Homura asked again, pushing to see if their old friend knew what it really was or not.
"All I know is that I found Naruto lying on the street late last night, he was beaten and bloody so I brought him here for a check up, know that Kyuubi would heal his wounds…but as I was checking him over…I found that glove." He said leaving out the details of fighting a creature that said it was from a different world and Kyuubi taking over for just a moment.
"I tried to take it off myself, but I had no luck, it was as if it was glued to his arm." He continued, leaving out the fact that it grew, knowing that if this didn't cause a panic that the fact that it could grow would. "He woke up for a moment and seemed like he was in a good enough mood for some questions, so I asked him if he could take off the glove…and he was able to…but…" he trailed off.
"He passed out." Koharu said, knowing that there were some gaps in his story, but she decided not to push it at the moment.
"And then the glove…moved back towards him, I was so startled at first that I couldn't move, and when you entered it seemed threatened and pushed more power out, scaring you and the youngsters, hopefully they don't remember anything about this." Sarutobi said.
"I can sense that you are lying to us Saru…but this is neither the place nor the time to push you for them, especially with these young whippersnappers knocked out and such." Homura said. "However, how are we supposed to tell them that they passed out? And if they do remember the events what will you do about it?"
"I don't know." 'I am hoping that it will be like last night, all of those Shinobi passed out and then got up after the ordeal was over and left as if it never happened. But if they do remember…I have nothing to turn them away from the truth except a faulty genjutsu…but that wouldn't work seeing as the power was so significant.' Sarutobi thought to himself as he looked at the two fallen Shinobi.
"There was a chemical spill in Naruto's room, not too serious but still…although we would have to work something out as for why you two weren't affected…" Sarutobi said.
"We weren't as far in the room as those two, and as for you…a mask…a breathing mask." Koharu said as she looked around the room. "After he leaves, we will meet you in your office." She said as the two older Nin left.
As they left, Sarutobi had barely put the sheet from Naruto's bed over his arm when a jonin came in.
"Forgive me Hokage-Sama, but I was told that a chemical had spilt in here, I was also told that you were alright but Hiashi-Sama and Fugaku-Sama had fainted. I will take these two out for now sir…uh by the way." The man said as Sarutobi nodded for him to continue. "How come you weren't affected?" he asked.
Sarutobi smiled. "I had a mask on, I wasn't affected as much as these two were; I appreciate your concern; however, once you are done please go and bring my son here and if I am not here the office." He said as the man bowed and left.
An hour later and Naruto started to come to. He opened his eyes and looked around seeing he was still in the hospital he sighed, there was nothing fun to do at the hospital, and he didn't even have his plushies either!
"Naruto-Kun, it appears that you are awake!" said boy turned to see Sarutobi smiling at him. "Do you remember what happened?" he asked the boy.
"Naruto remembers, Naruto took of glove and then Naruto fell asleep!" He said with a smile. "Then Naruto talked to Kirei Oneesan." Naruto finished as Sarutobi nodded.
"Naruto-Kun, how would you like to live in your own house?" He asked the boy.
"Will it be metal and round like last house?" Naruto asked, he like the small house, save for the smell it could have worked out for him.
"Now Naruto that was a trash can, that is where people through away trash and dead things, you don't want to live in one of those." He said as Naruto started to pout. "However, this house will be all yours, no one else will live there if you don't want them, which means no mean Matron or other kids hurting you." Sarutobi finished as Naruto looked at him with no expression and then smiled.
"Naruto says yes!" he said as he hugged the older man. "But Naruto wants to know when can Naruto move in?" he asked, shocking the old man.
'Either he knows a lot more than others give him credit for, or Kyuubi asked him to tell me.' "I have to find a safe place Naruto-Kun, and I think I have just the spot, however, can you talk to Kyu-I mean Kirei Oneesan all the time?"
"Nope. Naruto can only hear her," he took a breath and then exhaled, as if thinking how to explain it to the man. "Naruto can only talk to her when the time of sleep arrives. Then Naruto talks to her when Naruto wants or when Kirei Oneesan asks me a question."
"What kind of questions?" Sarutobi asked, careful not to sound angry.
"Kirei Oneesan asks Naruto, 'You do know that Kitsunes eat Usagis, not the other way around right?' then she makes funny faces at Naruto!" Naruto said giggling. He looked at Sarutobi's face and then laughed again.
"My word dear boy, what are you laughing at?" he asked trying not to frown, his fake smile in place, trying to figure out if Kyuubi had told Naruto to say this or not before he woke.
"See, when Naruto goes to see Kirei Oneesan, Naruto plays with Kitsune and Usagi plushy…Naruto makes Usagi hunt and eat Kitsune and then Kirei Oneesan gets funny faced!" Naruto said giggling through it all.
'So that's it…or is it…well I don't want to damage any relationships he has with the demon right now, it could prove to be disastrous later on…however, I will mark this as a needs to be questioned frequently sort of thing. But until then I will leave him with Kakashi…he can take him to get some new clothes and then bring him to my office, then I will contact Anko…she wont be paid so I don't know how she will handle this request.' Sarutobi thought.
"Wait just a moment okay Naruto-Kun?" He said rather than asked. He walked out of the room and turned down towards a small button that was in a behind a stone panel and pushed it. Instantly two Anbu arrived next to him, one with a Duck mask and the other with a Cat mask. "You two are to watch Naruto, talk to him, see if you can't get him to stop referring to him self as 'Naruto'. I need to go find Kakashi, if I am not back within the hour, one of you change and take him to get new clothes. That's an order!" He said as the two nodded and walked into the room where the seven year old was.
"Who are you two?" he asked cheerfully.
The one with the Duck mask answered him. "We have been ordered to watch you until Hokage-Sama gets back." He said.
"He told Naruto that he would be back soon." He stated as the one in the Cat mask nodded.
"He shouldn't be too long…he has to find someone and then he'll be back." She said.
"Naruto has a question!" he said rather abruptly. "Can Naruto wear your mask?" he asked Duck.
"No." he said as Naruto pouted cutely.
"Then can Naruto wear your mask?" he asked Cat, who shook her head.
"No, we aren't allowed to take them off at anytime, unless ordered to." She said as Naruto smiled.
"Then Naruto orders you to take it off and give it to Naruto!" he said as Duck grunted angrily stopping him instantly.
"Look brat, I don't like you so shut up!" he growled out as Naruto stopped talking.
Five minutes later and Naruto was smiling, scaring the two Anbu, from Duck's point of view there was nothing to smile at, and from Cat's point of view…well he was just creepy when he smiled like that, it was one of those smile that screamed out 'I am going to do something and you can't stop me!'
Finally about a half minute later as Duck started to loose his patience with him Naruto stopped. He looked around broadly then started to hum to himself. The two Anbu started to calm down and started to talk to each other quietly.
"He isn't so bad up close like this; I don't know why people hate him really." Cat said, although they forgot just how powerful little kids hearing can be, so Naruto smiled, although he really didn't know why.
"He is a monster. I mean he looks like a boy, but that is because he ate the soul of the human child and pushed himself into his soulless body, that is a demon if I ever Quack! One?" he said. He looked at Naruto who looked at his hand, which was still under the cover of the blanket.
"Did you just quack?" Cat asked.
"No! That thing must have made the sound because I don't Quack! Quack?" he said as he glared at the boy. "Look here brat, I may watch over you at the moment but don't think that means that you can do what you want!" he snarled as Naruto looked at him and then,
"PPPFBFBFBFBT!" Naruto's tongue showed itself as it made tooting noises at him, and if that wasn't enough…"How come Ducky doesn't make Ducky noises?" he asked as the man started to reach for a weapon.
"I am not a Quack!" Naruto interpreted. "THAT'S IT!" the man yelled as Cat tried to hold him back but to no avail. He grabbed Naruto's right arm and started to apply pressure as Cat tried to get him off of the boy. Again she was shrugged off, this time into the wall, making her see stars for a bit.
"YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT!" he said as he started to squeeze with all his might.
"But Naruto has no money!" he cried out as he tried to wrench his arm from the man's grasp. He finally moved his left hand, still under the blankets and grabbed the man's arm. It was a good thing that only an hour ago the glove had released the brunt of its power trying to get back to Naruto, because when Naruto grabbed the man's arm he squeezed trying to make the man's arm let go of his, only his kind of…
CRACK! The man looked at his arm and pulled away with a loud scream. He looked at Naruto and grabbed a kunai and went to shove it in his skull…when he fell down…with a kunai in his back. Naruto looked around to find the Old Man and the Silver Head there, and the Old Man looked angry.
"Naruto are you okay?" He asked as Kakashi went over to Duck and checked his pulse.
"Dead Hokage-Sama, weak back and a broken…arm?" he asked as he shook his head.
"Who attacked you first Naruto?" Sarutobi asked.
"Ducky did…Cat lady was thrown into the wall…that must have been a strong Ducky!" Naruto said as Sarutobi looked at Cat, who was just loosing the star gazer effect.
"Hokage-Sama!" she cried as she bowed. "I tried to stop him but I was of no use." She pleaded.
She went to leave after being helped up by Kakashi and walked her to the door. As she left Kakashi shut the door and turned to Sarutobi. "Well?" he asked.
"Well what?" Sarutobi asked shortly.
"Did you know that he had a broken arm?" He asked as Sarutobi shook his head.
"Naruto did you do something?" he asked the boy.
"Yes, Naruto made duck noises. Duck wasn't masking them so Naruto did, but he got mad and attacked me. He grabbed Naruto's right arm and then started to squeeze and then Naruto grabbed his arm with cursed gift and then his arm went snappy!" Naruto quickly explained. Sarutobi slapped his forehead.
"Naruto you know that Anbu wear masks of animals, that doesn't mean that they are the animals they portray or show." Kakashi stated as Naruto looked up towards the ceiling.
"SO that's why Cat didn't jump on Naruto's lap like other kitty kitties do!" He said as Sarutobi laughed.
"Anyways, Naruto; this is Hatake Kakashi…he will watch over you for the rest of the day, I have to talk to some mean old people now so I can't aid you, but I did find you a house…just uh…just try not to be so loud okay, you have a neighbor who doesn't like loud people…Anyways, Kakashi is also going to help you attain or get new clothes and food. So get changed into those replacement clothes and then you two can get underway." Sarutobi said as Naruto jumped out of bed, however as he did his left green arm did surprise Kakashi.
"He's all yours for now Kakashi, and if anyone asks about the green glove…tell them he fell in some pant." Sarutobi said as he looked at Naruto. "And do not tell ANYBODY about that glove or Kirei Oneesan." He said as Naruto nodded. The two left through the door and Sarutobi sighed, now he had to tell Homura and Koharu that the glove enabled Naruto to snap a man's arm…hopefully they wouldn't be too surprised, or angry.
END
Thanks to those who reviewed, the glove will be Naruto's weapon, and for those of you wondering just who An-Sid is…well he's an alien, hence why he said 'A world so different it looks like a dream' Things I have lined up for Naruto's weapon glove…is that it has super strength but it can only use it so many times a day, so once he uses super punches one too many times he will be left with his own strength. Yes Hiashi will remember what happened later on, Fugaku won't because he dies.
Also Naruto will have the ability to use chakra but much later on, and after that it will be only a normal amount as the rest is being snacked on by the glove.
I have a new story currently being typed up and so far I think it is pretty good. In the past I started some darker fics with Naruto and they were taken down…this one I don't think so…and by dark I mean Naruto the man slayer kind. I have his weapon already picked out and sketched out…it is actually the bankai of Naruto's weapon from BK if it gets picked but I aint telling and you wont find out because I am waiting until chapter nine or so to post it.
