First of all I would like to thank everybody on reviewing my first fic, and I want you guys to vote on pairings… Hana, Yugito or Harem between said characters, no anonymous votes please! The gauntlets and greaves are black chromed, if anyone wonders… also they didn't "shrink" if anyone imagined that because the shifted until they fit him. Imagine the gauntlets as a pair of bear paws with about 2 centimeter long claws… the claws can get up to about an half meter and the greaves resembles a human foot more but still bestial because of the claws… Let's get on with the typing
Chapter 3 – Kiba and Akamaru
It was past noon… and Naruto hadn't gotten up yet, still sleeping on the floor in the cave. So the hokage was getting worried why Naruto hadn't done any pranks yet, so he decided that he should send a tracker out and who is better at tracking than the Inuzuka clan… so he sent an messenger bird to the Inuzuka compound and hoped that they could track Naruto and bring him back.
At the Inuzukas…
"Mom! It's a messenger bird!" A small kid screamed while a puppy was barking right next to him. "I'm coming, calm down brat… be quiet Akamaru!" Tsume said, Akamaru and Kiba both became quiet and ran into the house. Tsume held her arm up in the air and let the bird land on it, she then proceeded to take the message and let the bird fly away, as she began to read Kiba and Akamaru was back and hiding behind the front door. "Hmm" Tsume had a frown on her forehead "so the kyuubi-brat hasn't been seen yet?, well that's very troublesome indeed…" Tsume had noticed Kiba even before he decided to go back out again so she thought that maybe she could make this interesting…"Hmm, I wonder who I will send on such a fun and amazing mission…" Tsume waited "1… 2… 3!" Kiba Suddenly sprung out from the bush like his butt was on fire and screamed "MEMEMEME, MOM SEND ME OUT!" Akamaru barked seeming to agree with his partner. "Hmm, are u sure you're ready for this?" Tsume asked with a grin on her face. "YES! PLEASE MOM!" Kida was really energetic today maybe it was for the best of the clan to send him out so that he wouldn't cause any more trouble. Kiba was almost as bad as Naruto with pranks, just that Naruto did the entire village while Kiba only did pranks on the Inuzukas… "OKAY! But only if you stop screaming out every word you say…" Kiba grinned and Tsume sighed. "Sure thing mom!" still grinning… Tsume explain what he was supposed to and Kiba ran off towards the forest. "I wonder if he already had a sniff of the boy or maybe he's just running I just hope that he doesn't run right into 'the forest of death' or something… well I guess I can try and convince Hana to be successor again… *sigh*"
In the cave…
Naruto yawned so hard it seemed as though his jaw would brake… "That felt good…"Naruto looked around. "Oh yeah I'm in the cave!" Naruto stated, then he rose to his feet and began to summon. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu" *poof* And Erakk stood in front of him "are you ready to learn now?" Naruto frowned "with what? You already told me that I'm too young to learn the taijutsu style and the 'bear mimicry' what else is there that you can teach me?" "Chakra control, basic Ninjutsu, basic Genjutsu, basic taijutsu… and so on." Erakk smiled when he saw that Naruto was shocked "You guys knows those things to?" The big grey bear frowned at this "Of course we know more than 1 Jutsu, we want to help our summoners not only against other summon but with other Nins to!" "He's not the brightest light bulb I've ever seen but he's 8 so I can't really blame him…" "Let's get started…"
In the forest…
"Are we close Akamaru?" *bark * "okay let's hurry up a little" and they ran off through the forest…
About 2 hours later outside the cave…
"…Now practice this everyday" Erakk said while grinning, he knew that the boy had a lot of chakra, so his chakra control was about closer to zero than to one… so he made Naruto balancing sticks on his forehead with chakra, Erakk already knew that this was way beyond his potential but he just wanted to mess with the boy a little. Maybe he would manage to make the stick stand right, maybe it would fall down who knows? But after about 5 minutes Erakk got bored and told him to use a leaf instead… Naruto frowned a little and went to a nearby tree to take one. Then Erakk smelled it, a human and a dog was coming… and about 2 minutes later he realized they were coming towards the cave… "Naruto I'll be going for a moment because it seems a human is coming this way and it seems to be an Inuzuka because there's a dog with him. Keep practicing and call me when you can hold the leaf for about 5-6 minutes, okay? Bye!" *poof* "Wai…t…" Naruto realized his weapons were in the cave! He ran as fast as he could because he wanted the contract scroll, the greaves, and the gauntlets and of course the cave to still be secret. He tied the weapons in the biggest piece left from his upper part of orange jumpsuit, and decided he would get new clothes even if he had to steal them now and then he ran out of the cave climbed up in a tree and waited… 5 minutes later he got bored and took out the only kunai he had and started to carve in the tree, but then he slammed his head into the trunk… "Fuuuuuuuuck! I can't take the weapons and scroll back to konoha… I'll leave them in the cave!" and he ran into the cave left them behind the statue, ran back to the entrance… "fuck he's already here, hope he doesn't notice the cave…"
Naruto watched Kiba as said boy walked around the tree with Akamaru sniffing on everything. "He's an Inuzuka but he still doesn't notice me, oh shit he saw me!" Kiba walked towards the entrance but stopped right in front it. "Weird…" said Kiba while sniffing a little more. "It's like he disappeared…"Kiba started to walk away and when he was out of sight Naruto walked out of the cave, just when he was outside he heard a bark and saw Kiba running towards him. He couldn't go back now so he just stood there with grin on his face and said. "Damn I almost won…" Kiba stopped running about 3 meters from him and answered. "Won what?" Naruto grinned some more and said. "Beating an Inuzuka in hide and seek…" Kiba snorted and said. "No one wins over an Inuzuka when it comes to tracking." Kiba said with a confident smile on face. "How come you didn't see me when you were right in front of me?" Naruto said with a raised eyebrow. "I was wha… I mean… I thought that you would come out of your hiding place by yourself since I found you!" Naruto made a face that really showed the sarcasm in what he said next. "Woooow…" *clap* *clap* "you're some tracker aren't you?" Kiba began turn his face into a tomato because of embarrassment but it soon turned into anger. "Are you looking for a fight or what?!" Naruto frowned and said. "maybe you remember that it was you who found me not the other way around…" Kiba then realized he was on a mission. "oh shit… I was sent out to find you by the Hokages' orders." Naruto laughed at this. "What!" Kiba stated out load, while Naruto calmed down a little. "Well you being serious was something I didn't expect…" Kiba snorted again. "Come on, can we go back now, mom will be pissed if I'm not back before dinner." This made Naruto remember that he had to eat soon to and decided to go to ichirukas. Naruto nodded and they went off to konoha…
Back at konoha…
"We should probably report to the hokage." Kiba stated "You think?!" Naruto said after rolling his eyes, Kiba fumed as they walked on. While they were walking through the merchant district Kiba noticed the glares. Naruto looked at Kiba and saw were said kids' eyes were looking at and said. "don't worry as long as you stay away from me you won't get any more of those looks…" Kiba frowned and asked. "why do they look at you that way?" Naruto sighed and answered "I honestly don't know, it seems I've done something really bad to them but I got those looks even before I started doing pranks…" Kiba widened his eyes and said. "You do pranks?!" Naruto, who had been looking away, turned his head and looked at Kiba and said. "Of course I do, I'm the number one prankster in konoha!" Kiba pouted. "Just because I'm not allowed out of the compound often doesn't mean you're number one!" Naruto narrowed his eyes and said with a grin on his face. "What's your best prank then?" Kiba stopped to think and then said. "Once I kicked a sleeping man in the leg and ran for all I could while he ran after me!" Kiba smiled at the memory, but then Naruto interrupted and said with a big grin on his face. "Is that all?" Kiba was fuming again and replied. "What's your best then?!" Naruto was grinning so much that his fox teeth were showing. "You see I was I painted on the hokage monuments once until some ANBU came and tried to stop me but I ran away from them until I was finally out of breath and they got me and brought me to Hokage Ojii-san…" Kiba had stopped in his tracks in was making a big O with his mouth and finally just said. "Wow… hey wait for me." Kiba yelled when he saw that Naruto was 50 meter in front of him.
At the Hokages' office…
"Thank you very much for bringing Naruto back, I suppose your mom is waiting for you so you can go now." As Kiba left Sarutobi then turned his head towards the young prankster and said with a more appropriate 'Scolding voice'. "Were the hell have you been all morning, I almost sent out some ANBU to look after you since you haven't shown your face since yesterday!" Naruto looked away and said with sneer on his face. "Maybe one of those guards saw me, since I was WALKING out of the gate, it's not like I escaped…" Sarutobi looked puzzled because the guards hadn't reported anything unusual. "Maybe they were sleeping?" then Naruto interrupted and said. "Ojii-san can you seal my bed into a scroll and some other stuff to…" Sarutobi frowned and said. "Why?" No reason, I just want to see how you do it, so that I can do it myself…" As Naruto said this he made his trademark fox smile and the hokage calmed down a bit and said. "Okay, but no more running away without telling. Naruto?" Said kyuubi container looked up and said with an innocent smile. "What?" The hokage grinned and said. "You still haven't told me were you where this morning…" Naruto paled and answered trying to get a fox smile up again. "Secret…" the Hokage frowned and said. "Don't make it an order." Naruto smiled. "You can't order me around yet, I'm not a ninja you know!" Then the hokage grinned an evil smile and said. "Then you better not become a ninja because as soon as you reach Genin, you're mine!" Naruto paled at this now he was stuck at a situation he didn't exactly like… so he did what he always did he fired away the fake smile know as the 'Fox Grin'. "Well then Naruto, you sure you don't want to tell me anything before we go?" Naruto smiled and said instantly and simple. "Nope." And with that they walked out of the office and towards Narutos apartment…
At Narutos' apartment…
"Maybe we should go and buy some new stuff before we start to seal anything?" Sarutobi said with a sad smile on his face, he knew that the villagers were tormenting Naruto but even if he dispatched an ANBU, the only thing that would happen was an increase in the crowd. Even if he wanted to do something he couldn't do it himself since being a hokage was a lot of work. So all he could do was watch the results… so they walked out of the apartment and headed for the local house equipment stores and the likes and bought all they needed, Sarutobi sealed everything away in scrolls. Naruto watched this with great interest and asked he could try, while Naruto tried to seal away some cup ramen Sarutobi gave some tips and soon enough, managed to seal away all the ramen and a chair. Sarutobi smiled and patted him on the head and then they continued to seal away everything. When they were done they carried them all back to the apartment and the hokage said he could unseal the bed as training, since he had to get back to the paperwork… they said goodbye and then Sarutobi left with a Shunshin. Naruto then picked up the three scrolls they had sealed everything in 1. Ramen. 2. Bed, chair, table. 3. Clothes and other useful stuff… and ran off to the cave, he ran through the hall and down the first stair to the first level of the building and *BAM* he had run into someone, he quickly got up picked up the scrolls and started to run again when the man started shouting. "OIE, Demon boy! How about paying me for the roof you trashed and for my crushed nose huh?!" Naruto then made a fake smile and said with a little of the Kyuubis' voice. "Never…" The man paled and then realized that the boy was gone. "Kuso, I'm going to give him a big one the next time I see him…" Naruto still angered by the neighbor ran towards the forest. "I'm going to 'punch' him really hard the next time I see him" Naruto grinned at the thought of the guy getting pummel whacked, and laughed a little while he remembered something. "Erakk is going to be so pissed if I summon him without a single progress in the leaf thingy… oh well might as well wait with that until tomorrow since now I'm going to unseal the stuff, eat and then go to sleep…"
WHAT WILL NARUTO DO WHEN HE FINDS OUT ABOUT THE FOX.
WHAT WILL ERAKK DO TO PUNISH NARUTO WHEN HE FINDS OUT THAT HE HASN'T BEEN TRAINING.
WILL KIBA AND AKAMARU EVER CALME DOWN.
FIND OUT IN THE NEXT CHAPTER OF "THE BEAR CLAAAAN"!!!
(A/N) If anyone wonders why I haven't said anything about the roof thingy that happened in the first chap, then I'll tell you… I forgot. So let's say it was the roof in the closet that was destroyed and that the neighbor didn't notice it until the next morning when he was going to put on some new clothes :P [End of (A/N)]
