Shinobi Wolf Chronicles
I don't own Naruto or the legend of werewolves!
Chapter 10: Preparations
Last Chapter…
"Ah, well that was nice. Thanks again Naruto!" said Chouji.
"Yeah you cost me a fortune…" Naruto muttered to himself.
"Eh, what was that? Couldn't understand you." Asked Chouji.
"I said no problem." Replied Naruto, sweat dropped.
"Yeah Naruto, thanks for putting up with the bill your going to get for celebrating me and Sasuke having a child." Said Sakura with a smile.
"Well anything for my friends!" said Naruto with a large grin.
Now to Chapter 10…
Normal P.O.V.
Sasuke and Sakura had just gotten home, went upstairs, and took of their clothing, not stripping of course, like undressed and putting on something to sleep in.
"God… I hope I don't have to wear that anytime soon…" said Sasuke with relief.
"Well if you don't enjoy wearing it then why do you do?" asked Sakura.
"Because, it's worth it for you." Sasuke said laying back on the back on the bed.
"Aww Sasuke, that's sweet. But if you don't like to, then don't. It doesn't bother me." Sakura said with a smile.
"Well, again… You're worth the trouble." Said Sasuke facing Sakura, who was making her way to the bed.
Sakura smiled as Sasuke got up to get into bed. Once they were in bed Sakura turned off her lamp and Sasuke and Sakura fell asleep… holding hands.
The next morning…
Sasuke woke up and went into the bathroom and washed his face. He finished doing that and went downstairs to fix him some breakfast.
He was half done when Sakura woke up and called from upstairs, "Sasuke, you down there?"
"Yeah." Replied Sasuke.
"Ok, I'll be down in a second."
When he was finished and sitting on the couch, Sakura came down in her formal clothing. "Hey Sasuke. Everything okay?" asked Sakura.
"Yeah, was hungry so I ate. Nothing the matter… except we're going to me stuck in an underground chamber all night…" said Sasuke.
"What's wrong with that?" asked Sakura.
"…With Naruto." Replied Sasuke.
"Oh god… that is an excellent point…" said Sakura. "Anyway, you should get dressed, not that I'm trying to be bossy heh-heh…"
"No it's fine, your right. I'll be right back." Replied Sasuke. He got up and went upstairs, putting on the clothing he wore when he killed Itachi. Then he came back down and sat by Sakura.
"Today's the day…" said Sakura in a sad voice.
"Yeah… I just hope they die so we can get this over with and out of they way." Replied Sasuke, then becoming lost in thought. "People are going to die protecting me… how did it lead to this? What did I do to deserve this…?"
There was a knock at the door and Sakura got up to see that it was an Anbu with silver gear. She took the gear, thanked the Anbu, and he disappeared.
"Tsunade-sama sent us some gear." Said Sakura handing Sasuke a silver incrusted chest-plate, shoulder guards with silver spikes, silver vambracers and silver weaponry.
"This seems a bit more than the others…" said Sasuke studying the equipment.
"Well, we are protecting you, and not Naruto like normally. Naruto is safer with the Akastuki gone." Said Sakura.
"Yeah but we have another problem here. There's a small army of werewolves that will attack tonight, which is a full moon by the way, so I will also transform!" grunted Sasuke. "I hate being a stupid werewolf…" crossing his arms Sasuke sighed. "But there is nothing I can do about it…"
Sakura looked at Sasuke. "Well let's look on the bright side, at least you're not of the werewolves killing people like a savage creature." Sakura said trying to cheer Sasuke up.
All Sasuke said after that was, "I wonder how Naruto's doing…"
Speaking of which, Naruto…
"What! I won't be in the battle!" complained Naruto.
"Well no Naruto, you and Sakura need to protect Sasuke at all costs. You're going to be the next Hokage that is what I'm sure of. But complaining about not being able to fight over protecting your best friend won't fix anything." Tsunade said in a steady tone. "If Sasuke is to be captured who knows what they'll do to him. I'm sure Nalakaz has something in stored for you, Sasuke, Sakura… and even me. Please Naruto, do this for the sake of the village."
"Oh all right…" sighed Naruto.
"Good. I have your equipment right here. Meet me here 1 hour before nightfall so I can get you into the chambers." Tsunade said handing the gear to Naruto.
"Right!" said Naruto.
"Dismissed."
Naruto got home to Hinata who was in her jounin uniform with all the silver stuff.
"Naruto! Your home earlier than I expected." Said Hinata.
"I won't be out there to help you tonight." Said Naruto putting his gear on the couch.
"Huh? Why?" asked Hinata.
"Because Grandma Tsunade said I am to go down into the lower chambers of Konoha with Sakura and Sasuke, in order to keep Sasuke safe." Naruto explained lounging on the couch.
"Oh I see…" replied Hinata who also sat down.
"So try not to get hurt out there okay?" asked Naruto.
"I won't." Hinata said with a smile.
"Well, I'm going to see if I can get Sasuke and Sakura out to train a bit." Said Naruto getting up.
"Oh um… Naruto… Tsunade said no one can leave the village under any circumstance unless by her orders only, so you're going to have to use the one in the village." Hinata explained.
"You mean that one in the wooden building? But that's for melee combat and Tai Jutsu!" complained Naruto.
"I know, and I don't think you need to practice any jutsu anyway." Reassured Hinata.
"Actually… I wanted to practice the Hiraishin no Jutsu with the kunai Pervy-sage gave me." Said Naruto rubbing the back of his head.
"Well I'm sure you can do that in the village." Said Hinata.
"Yeah I know. Well anyway I'm going to go get Sasuke and Sakura now. Bye Hinata!" said Naruto rushing out the door.
Naruto was walking along the streets of Konoha when he stumbled into his old Academy Sensei, Iruka.
"Oh hey Naruto!" said Iruka.
"Iruka sensei! Already wearing the silver stuff I see." Said Naruto.
"Tsunade-sama is making all Genin to jounin put it on encase of a surprise attack before nightfall. I'm surprised your not wearing anything." Said Iruka.
"Well, I have a different job than everyone else." Replied Naruto.
"Let me guess, Tsunade told you and Sakura that she's taking you into the lower chambers of Konoha to protect Sasuke." Iruka guessed, no not really.
"How did you know?" asked Naruto.
"I'm helping Shikamaru out on the Defense Force, and he was told by Tsunade, and in which told me." Explained Iruka.
"Yeah ok I see, well I need to be somewhere, bye Iruka!" said Naruto dashing off.
"Bye Naruto!" Iruka called back.
Naruto ran up the steps of the Uchiha Residence and knocked on the door.
*Knock, *Knock.
"I thought the Anbu gave us our things." Said Sasuke looking at the door.
"Maybe they forgot a few items, let me get it." Replied Sakrua getting up and going to the door. Only to find it being Naruto. "Oh, Naruto. We thought you were an Anbu for s second.
"Wow really?" asked Naruto.
"Come on in." said Sakura moving out of the way, then shutting the door when he was inside.
"I was just told from Tsunade that I'm guarding Sasuke tonight in the lower chambers." Said Naruto.
"…Don't remind me…" Sasuke said, then sighing.
"Anyway… I though sense we're going to be stuck down there and basically can't use and jutsu, that we'd get some melee training instead. I'm working on a special jutsu that my father used, the Hiraishin no Jutsu. I plan to use it to get us out of harms way if intruders make it into the chambers." Explained Naruto.
"Wow, that is a smart thing to do. And sure we'll go for some training. Get our minds off of tonight." Sakura replied, looking at Sasuke for his answer.
"If it's better than sitting around all day then I'll go." Said Sasuke getting up.
"That's not what you said for the past several days…" objected Naruto.
"Yeah well don't complain about it." Said Sasuke opening the door and walking out. Naruto followed and Sakura grabbed their weapons and dashed out the door to catch up. She tossed Sasuke his katana and weapon pouch, which he caught. They made there way to the Dojo and got to work.
Naruto set up 5 kunai in the Dojo, one in every corner of the place, and one in the very center. Lucky for Naruto there were light, medium, heavy and heavier objects he could train with.
"Hiraishin no Jutsu!" and Naruto was from the top left corner to the center.
Sasuke was making marks on a wooden dummy with his katana. He even made a hole in the very center of the face, while Sakura was practicing her aim.
Naruto swapped objects with the one in the center and again called out, "Hiraishin no Jutsu!" then he was on the top right corner, and again swapped objects. He did this several times and ported to those 5 areas many times.
"Hey Naruto." Sakura called out. "Can we go get something to eat?"
"Yeah sure! Ichiraku's is just down the street, we can go there!" Naruto called back.
So Naruto picked up his kunai and put the objects back as Sakura and Sasuke gathered their weapons and made their way to Ichiraku's.
At the strike of noon only a few minutes later, at the encampment…
All the soldier's were equipped with stretching armor and priceless weaponry, and gathered in the center of the encampment.
"Today is the day, of the night we make our move on Konoha! We brought more than half of you from nowhere and bounded you to mine, and Nalakaz Ukumiku's wills, by implanting the curse of the werewolf on you. But do not fear, because if you fear death, and do not die in this battle, if we keep those 4 alive and bring them to Nalakaz, you will never fear death. For shall we be immortal!" announced Kenzo.
"Only… The last 3 we brought in are not to awaken 'til after the battle starts. Those three plus 3 of my fastest Royals will carry them along side me, to my own destination. If you say I left you to die in battle, then I will sure you do die. I control my actions. And you are all my slaves of the curse! So I call to you… kneel before me!" called out Nalakaz.
"What! I do not kneel to anyone!" objected Kenzo turning swiftly facing Nalakaz.
"Don't deny your place in the pack, Kenzo." Nalakaz said facing Kenzo, then turned his head to the troops, lowered his head a little, shut his eyes and chanted… "Ikio Nomikalz Nin-giko KUZ-MA!"
Just after that last part of the chant, as if everyone in the area was hypnotized, everyone even Kenzo kneel and said, "We serve the Alpha, we serve the lord, we serve Alpha Lord Ukumiku. We won't fail you…"
Back with Team 7…
"Hn!"
"What Sauske?" asked Sakura.
"I just felt… as if that entire army was suddenly hypnotized…" replied Sasuke looking toward the encampment with a half-shocked look on his face.
"How is that possible?" asked Naruto.
"I don't know… but I do care. We need to be careful." Said Sasuke glaring now instead of shocked.
"You still want to go back to the dojo and train?" asked Naruto.
"No… I feel like I should warn Tsunade…" replied Sasuke. Suddenly sprinting toward the Hokage's Office.
"This must be really important to him…" said Sakura.
"Yeah… we should go to the mansion as well." Said Naruto.
At the Hokage's Office…
Sasuke rushed through the door not even thinking of knocking and said, "Tsunade! I think we have a problem."
"What is it!" said Tsunade shooting out of her chair.
"Just a moment ago, I felt something weird. Like that entire army getting ready to march on us, was suddenly hypnotized or something. I believe, that Nalakaz activated something that made the entire army under his control due to being bitten of originating from him!" explained Sasuke.
"Well, first of all what gives you that theory?" asked Tsunade with a serious face.
"Visions… I've been having visions, of this that happen if I don't change anything. We changed my latest one by that mission I suppose." Continued Sasuke.
"What was the vision?" Tsunade asked.
"Me, Naruto, and Sakura were in the middle of a battle field. Nalakaz walked up with a hooded cloak on. He said that I would soon be bound to his will like all the rest. So I'm guessing 'all the rest' refers to the army. But I do not think it's possible for that to happen to me because of the recent information we have received, about the werewolf stuff being in bloodline, not bite." Said Sasuke with a serious face also.
"All that is very accurate evidence to your theory. And no, if the legends are right, a werewolf in a bloodline cannot be bound to the will of an original whom spread the curse by bite. So you are safe from him, but not anyone else. Even YOU can spread it by biting people." Said Tsunade.
"Wait… what about when… oh no!" "Does that include in human form as well? Or only as a werewolf?" asked Sasuke, remembering when he almost went mad and after killing his brother, Karin trying to heal his eye, asking him to bite her arm.
"Hmm, I'm not sure. Why do you ask?" asked Tsunade, pulling out a book of legends.
"Um… Just wanting to make sure…" replied Sasuke hoping Tsunade wouldn't notice the lie.
"It will take some time to find it. I'll send out Anbu with the information once I have it. For now you are free to do whatever you wish." Said Tsunade reading the book.
"Thank you Tsunade-sama." Said Sasuke walking out of the office. After he shut the door he saw Sakura and Naruto panting.
"D-don't tell me… *pant… we are too late to see *pant… what you needed to say to… *pant, Tsunade-sama." Said Sakura panting heavily, same with Naruto.
"Yeah you are too late I guess, sorry I ran off like that." Said Sasuke. But just a few moments later Sasuke's eye blacked out and his mind went black for a second or two.
"Sasuke you alright?" asked Naruto.
Sasuke's mind got its thoughts back and he gained his vision again. "Yeah, just… got a little light headed for a moment."
"If you say so…" said Naruto not very convinced.
And at that very moment in Nalakaz's quarters…
"Lord Ukumiku, it is nearing sundown, what do you wish we do?" asked the Royal.
"Rally the men, we depart in 15 minutes." Said Nalakaz. Just then Nalakaz went light headed.
"You okay sire?" asked the Royal before giving the order to the others.
"Yes, yes… I'm fine. Became a little light headed is all. Give the order, Royal. And send Helsing in here…" said Nalakaz.
Okay enough of him back to Team 7… 1 hour from nightfall…
Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto walked into Tsunade's office.
"Ah good, you're here. If you are ready to move out let's do so quickly and silently." Said Tsunade.
"We are ready Hokage-sama." Replied Sakura.
"Very well. Follow me." Said Tsunade walking out of her office.
Nalakaz and his men waiting 'til dark, just a few miles away from Konoha. And Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto made it into the chambers and are awaiting daybreak to come.
Nightfall has conquered the sky, the moon rises, the battle begins.
"Move out!" shouted Nalakaz. "The battle has begun.
"Ready the defenses!" called Tsunade. "The battle, has begun."
