Chapter 15
"I take it you completed your mission?" Tsunade asks, Yamato and Kakashi were with the Fifth, Shizune, and himself. He doesn't know why Yamato and Kakashi were included in this, but he answers, "Yes, I completed it. Sasuke didn't even know what was happening."
"You gave Naruto a mission concerning Sasuke?" Kakashi asks, Yamato looks interested in this development. "Care to demonstrate what your mission was?" Tsunade asks, he glares at her and asks, "Did you get the cloths? Seriously, I don't want to be naked during your probing." "Are you sure you really need cloths?" Tsunade asks. "The Animorphs cloths vanish when they do it the first time, then if they cloth the bodies afterwards, they don't have to worry about it if they ever morph into those forms again." He says simply.
Tsunade waves and Shizune's arms hold out a set of cloths that should fit his morph. He takes them and places them on a chair as he pulls on to stand before he begins, he does want to hide that part from view. The two jonin watch him intently as he begins to morph into his latest acquired morph. He doesn't try to control it or speed it up, he just lets it happen.
Within a minute he's totally transformed and under shocked looks, he takes the cloths from the chair and begins to dress himself. In this body's voice he says to the pair, "Well? What do you think?" "But how…" Kakashi asks. "Morphing allows one to acquire DNA of other beings so that they can morph into them. This includes humans and other intelligent beings." He replies, he moves his hand through his now black hair, finding it freaky that this body now belongs to his list of morphs.
"I don't understand, why have him acquire Sasuke?" Yamato asks. "The council wants the Sharingan and to have the Bloodline Limit back under Hidden Leaf's banner. Since capturing either of the brothers aren't really an opinion and we needed to recreate the Bloodline, I went with the next best thing. To get someone to acquire one of the two remaining Uchiha so that we can get genetic material to impregnate women that volunteer to help recreate a clan that will one day activate the Sharingan. Now that Naruto has acquired Sasuke, we can begin milking sperm from our 'Sasuke.'" Tsunade says and he makes a face at the word milking, but he already knew about this.
"Then why do you need us?" Kakashi asks and he had to agree with that question. Tsunade replies, "To make sure he doesn't escape until he's given us a pint of sperm." He pales while the grow grown men wince in sympathy. "But I'm still getting my promotion once this is over, right?" He wants to be sure of that part.
Yamato and Kakashi look surprise to hear that and Tsunade takes something out of her desk and tosses it to him. "I've already marked you down as a jonin the moment you walked through the gate." Old lady Tsunade informs him. "When was he made a chuunin?" Kakashi asks. "The day before he returned to that other reality, we couldn't have a genin making alliances with powerful beings now could we? Now with Naruto a jonin, he's allowed to freely teach jutsus to his students." Tsunade informs Kakashi, the two men look startled at that, they clearly hadn't thought outside the box when it came to his association with alien species or with a technological advanced world of humans.
"I better get liquid breaks…" He growls as he takes his vest and heads out of the office with Shizune leading him to the bathroom he's going to use for the next few hours. Shizune pauses and picks up a large cabinet that contains the glass jars he's to fill up. Shizune smiles and he smiles slightly, as he takes the small cabinet into the bathroom. He sighs as he hears the door lock.
"This is going to be a long mission…" He says as he glances to 'Sasuke's' reflection. He snorts and looks around the place he's going to spend the next couple of hours arousing himself so he can do the pint of sperm that his village leader is asking him to do.
XD
He finishes telling the male members of the rookie nine as well as Neji and Lee about why he hadn't been able to leave the Hokage tower until late evening. Everyone of them winces in sympathy, though Kiba sums it up by saying, "I can't believe you can morph that prick." He shrugs as he says, "It's not like I'm going to be using it, it was my mission acquire the Teme's DNA and to fill jars with said body's sperm. Besides, I did get promoted to jonin because of how difficult a mission it is to get such samples from enemy nins."
"So, now what should we do?" Choji asks and most of the group shrugs while Shikamaru says, "Troublesome." "How about heading back to Naruto's to see if the girls are done doing whatever it was they were doing at the manor?" Kiba suggests. He rolls his eyes, he sag his shoulders as the guys race to the manor he's been living at.
He makes it there before the others, he enjoys flying about the village, though he makes sure to use his crow morph since he doesn't want to be targeted for assassination and people would notice if the crow population vanishes so he feels safer flying about as a crow then in his goshawk morph. There were times when he feels pity that none of his friends in this reality know the joys of flight, but he understands why they're not able to gain the ability to morph.
He finds that the girls were in the upper levels of the mansion, so he decides to surprise the others with his Hork-Bajir morph. Jara, Bek, two of Bek's male friends, and oddly enough, Toby had agreed to allow him to acquire them to make a unique body of a Hork-Bajir. Since most of the Hork-Bajir he acquired were male, his morph was male. He's been training in this body, seeing if he can use other jutsus while in this body. He's also gotten use to using the mouth to speak, he stumbles slightly over some words, but other wise, he speaks as well as Toby can.
He had wanted to use his Hork-Bajir morph in his battle with Sasuke, but Sasuke retreated before the fight began getting interesting. He also has a few ideas he wants to try out with this body, but he wasn't sure who to ask for help. He doesn't really trust Kakashi to do anything but give him tiny hints and he doesn't really know Yamato that well to know if Yamato would help him without trying to hinder his training. He has no idea on how to get a hold of Ero-sennin since he still can't summon toads and he doubts that he's going to have enough time for the kind of training he knows Jiraiya would put him through, the old pervert would give him the information, but then head off to do his 'research.'
He could ask his fellow nin, but he doesn't want to interrupt their training schedule, especially since they might not more then a few days before Soul and him leave this reality. A thought of asking either Tsunade or Shizune for help, but once more, they're most likely busy with the plan to resurrect the Uchiha clan using the sperm he donated while he was in his Sasuke morph. He glances at the blades on his right arm, deep in thought until he hears someone shout, "I win!"
He grins devilishly and walks onto the wall and then onto the ceiling. He keeps his eyes on the door, excitement coursing through his veins. The door opens and the guys step into the house, he does a flip in the air as he releases the chakra holding him to the ceiling. The other shout out in surprise and take defensive stances and he chuckles as he says, "You should have seen your expressions! They were priceless!" "Naruto!" Kiba says and he just nods, already he's de-morphing, making sure that the blades were the first thing to go and the tail the last thing.
"Idiot!" Neji says, but he could tell that they weren't too mad about it. "The girls are up stairs. I don't know if they're done or not though." He says. It's not long before Ino comes down the stair to glare at them all. They all then quietly head into the living room.
"Hey Naruto, what's this movie about?" Lee asks, handing him a DVD that will come back to haunt him in the coming days. "Oh, that? It's part of a trilogy. That one is only the second video in the series." He says, he's kind of surprised that he packed it since he doesn't remember picking it out of his collection. "Well then, let's watch it." Kiba says and he does so.
He never did suspect what he's about unleashed onto the village; he never thought that ninjas would end up with nightmares about a certain sci-fi movie. After all, it was only just a movie, right?
XD
He's sitting before Tsunade's desk, Tsunade's fingers were woven together and her arms were on the desk. "So you knowingly let them watch a film you knew was a 'slasher' flick? You didn't try and warn them that it before you allowed them to watch it?" The Fifth says and he nods. "I didn't think it would scar them afterwards. They seemed to be in slight shock, but I thought they'd get over it. I also really didn't expect that Shikamaru would actually let others watch it, I mean, if it scared him shitless, why would he allow others to watch it?" He says in his defence.
Tsunade closes her eyes, he has to admit that she looks exhausted, but then, hysteria that followed that one showing that occurred the next day couldn't come at a worst time. Everybody's stressed out and was kind of like a wildfire waiting to happen, it really didn't help that Sai had drawn pictures of the aliens from the movie and then thought it funny to allow them to roam about for a few minutes.
"If it helps, the first movie out of the trilogy is even worst." He says lamely. "That really doesn't help." Tsunade says and she then sighs, he watches as old lady Tsunade takes a long sip out of the sake bottle resting on the desk. "Am I going to be punished?" He asks, wondering what kind of punishment he's going to be getting. "No, but in the future, you'll give me a list and a short summary of each movie you bring back with you. I don't want something like this happening again, got that?" He nods rapidly as he promises to do that next time he arrives with a new selection of DVDs.
Within minutes, he's dismissed and he leaves the office with Soul following him. It's clear to him that Soul seems to be confused about the meeting, but it's not like they're able to communicate clearly since he doesn't know to what extent Soul understands. He notices Sai sitting in the waiting room; he guesses that Tsunade had already spoken with Shikamaru about his part in the hysteria that occurred over the last few days. Sai's wearing a fake smile, but he can tell that Sai's nervous about talking with Tsunade about his part in the hysteria.
He just looks away as he shakes his head, wondering how long it'll be before people stop jumping at every shadow and at every sound. It's understandable for most ninja, but for citizens' acting like that? It just frays everyone's nervous, it's like everyone's expecting a war to happen ever few minutes. He already knows that business was suffering because of the hysteria brought on by that stupid movie.
'I guess it's a good thing I didn't bring Predator or Predator two. But then again, taking missing nin's heads is something people know happen.' He thinks as he makes it to his old hang out spot, he remembers to help Soul get onto the stool. He smiles at the two and within minutes, his favourite Ramen is in front of him. Soul makes a face at his meal and he smiles at the little cub, he notices that Soul cocks his head at him before he digs into his meal.
It's not long before he's chatting with Ayame about the recent events. He's slightly glad that Ayame hadn't panicked on hearing about the so called 'invasion.' It's not long before he pays for his meal and heads off with Soul trotting by his side.
He sighs and decides that it's time to see just how far Soul can modify his body. He might not like it, but he's noticed that Soul's been altering his forelimbs again and he figures he might as well as try and help Soul in his pursuit of altering his body. He'd hate it if Soul harmed himself because Soul's pursuit of trying to look more human.
Once he's sure that they're alone in a training area, he glances down at the tired cub. He sighs and begins to morph into his puma morph, he notices how Soul perks at this and is watching him transform with focused eyes. Once he's done, he says to the cub, -If you're going to do this, I might as well help you get it right.-
/ Soul/
He perks as he watches his papa transform into something similar to him. He tries his hardest to remember the details since he wants to learn how to make such alterations last longer then what they have been. He wags his tail in excitement as his papa's voice erupts inside of his head and his papa says to him, -If you're going to do this, I might as well help you get it right.-
He muzzles his papa with his muzzle, happy that his papa is going to help him with his alterations. He sits and looks up at his papa, waiting for his papa to explain things. It takes his papa a few minutes before his papa begins to lecture him. –First off, you need to learn how to control your energy; it's what you've been using unconsciously. Now, you remember how Cassie and the others were doing those tree cuttings?- His papa asks and he nods, remembering that it means yes. –We're going to start on that. Now you can't do too little energy or else you'll slip off the bark, but you can't do too much or else you'll make the bark explode. Watch me and then you can give it a go.- His papa says and he nods, the tip of his tail moving as he watches his papa take a run at the tree, he watches as his papa's paws stick to the tree and how his papa makes it to the first branch, his papa sits on it and looks down at him.
-Ok, not it's your turn. Remember, better take it at a run until you got it down packed.- His papa advises. He nods and he gets up onto his feet. He pause and attempts to call on the power within him, the power he somewhat remembers from the few times he's altered his forelimbs to mimic his father's forelimbs.
He opens his eyes and runs at the tree, he climbs up about his body length up the trunk before he falls to the ground and he pants once he's on the ground. He glares at the tree; he's not going to let this faze him, not when he wants to learn how to alter his body like his father. He then does it again and again, he takes short breaks, but he continues to push himself. He wants to make his papa proud of him, he wants to prove that he's growing up.
'I am my father's son! I will make him proud of me!' He declares within his mind as he races up and down the tree under his father's watching gaze.
/ Naruto/
He catches the sleeping cub. He smiles down at the little guy, he feels bad for causing the cub to push beyond his limits, but he's also feels proud of the young being that's his charge. He caught the cub as the cub became unconscious after making it to the branch he was resting on, he was stunned at how much progress Soul made for his first training session.
-You must feel proud at the progress he made.- He says to the fox living within him. –Feh, he could do better.- The nine-tailed beast replies. –He progressed faster then I did on my first day.- He admits as he heads back to the mansion. –That's because you weren't thinking clearly, brat.- Kyuubi replies in a taunting tone. He snorts and asks, -Are you sure it wasn't because you weren't cooperating with my training?- The fox grumbles and retreats out of his mind, he raises his defences once more.
He knows he's not perfect, not by any stretch of the imagination. He does try to know what his flaws were so he can work to over come them; it was something he finally decided to do while he was walking towards what was then a strange city appearing on the horizon. He had a lot to think about while he was walking by that stretch of highway and he would like to think he's grown from that kid that tried to fill the silence by shouting anything that came to mind, from that kid who had just learnt about the demon he carries, from that child that use to be all alone, even when he was in a crowd of people.
He now has two totally different groups of people that he's come to view as precious to him, he has this odd ability that allows him to experience things no ninja has, he has opened himself up to people not of his home village and found that they still accept him, and he's now in an important position as he's the door way between different worlds, someone who could make or break some kind of alliance between two realities… He never dreamed that he would come so far and he's praying he doesn't abuse the trust he's been given. 'I guess it's like what that super hero saying says, with great power comes great responsibility. And boy do I have a lot of both.' He thinks as he makes it to the property that seems to be his.
To be continued …
