"Naruto-kun!" Hinata exclaimed as she saw his skin turn into fur and his size grew to the point that he can easily line up with the tips of the trees as two tails formmed.
Chrono, meanwhile, groaned as he got up to a standing position.
"Chrono!" Emerald, Nino, Jaffar, and Hinata exclaimed as they backed off from of Naruto in his new form.
"Geez. We have to settle this before the Hokage gets here." Chrono gritted.
"What do you mean?" A voice asked behind him.
Chrono grumbled as he turnned to see Sarutobi with a group of ANBU with him. One of the ANBU member was Yuugao.
"I don't know. One second, I just patted Naruto on the back, the next he's at least 20 feet high due to a lady inside his mind blasting me and him with some red stuff." Chrono replied.
"ANBU, secure the area. We have to stop Naruto." Sarutobi commanded.
ANBU responded by dispersing around the training area and prepared to use a jutsu when Chrono walked toward Naruto.
"Chrono!" Sarutobi exclaimed.
"Jaffar, Nino, Emerald. Clear this area. Hokage, you wanted to know the answer to the question I gave you yesterday." Chrono said as he stopped walking.
*Flashback.*
"That is something personal only that us four know about. If you want to know what these two scars mean, you have to pass my test. I'll give you one chance for an answer." Chrono replied.
"The question would be?" Sarutobi asked.
"Suppose there was another race besides humans and they seek to conquer. You are a part of that race and you are against their ideals as the opposite side only wants to live. Are you willing to abandon your kin, family, and friends to protect the other race?" Chrono replied.
*Flashback end*
Chrono glowwed blue before he spoke again.
"I'm not a human. I'm a dragon."
With that, everyone except for Nino, Jaffar, and Emerald gasped as Chrono's form started to change also. His wings grew in length and size as his human body grew scales and a tale before the transformation stopped, easily taller then Naruto's Kyuubi form.
"So this is what he was hiding from me. That's why he gave the questions. You are wiser then you look." Sarutobi said with a small smile.
Chrono let off a loud roar that woke the entire village up and soon enough every ninja above genin reached the site.
"Hokage-sama! Let us strike down the Kyuubi and the other demon!" One random chunin yelled out.
"I forbid it. The other ... being is helping us." Sarutobi yelled.
"Are you crazy?! Those demons will kill us!" the same chunin exclaimed before the wind got knocked out of him by Jaffar, who was beside him in a hearbeat without the majority of the ninja crowd knowing.
The energy stone Nino had glowwed as Chrono's voice spoke from it.
"Nino, get an illusion up and I can take Naruto out." Chrono replied.
"Ok Chrono." Nino replied as she started chanting.
Everyone stood back as the wind stirred around Nino and the transformed Naruto looked around as he saw visions of images passing at a rapid pass, confusing him. Chrono saw his chance and flew into Naruto and opened his maw to unleash an energy blast. The blast smacked Naruto point blank as it forced him into a daze long enough for him to revert back to his regular form. Sarutobi instantly walked up to Naruto and kneeled beside him as Chrono reverted back to his regular form.
"Naruto." Chrono muttered as he walked up to him with Emerald, Nino, Jaffar, and Hinata following him.
Naruto groaned a bit before opening an eye.
"Where am I?" Naruto asked.
"Don't worry. We're awake." Chrono assured before he looked at Sarutobi.
The look in the aged Hokage's eyes was lethal to all non fighters. Chrono took the message and walked over to Sarutobi.
"What do you want to know?" Chrono asked.
"This is better spoken in my office." Sarutobi said with no room for arguements.
Chrono understood as he looked over to Nino, Jaffar, and Emerald. The three nodded.
"We'll keep an eye over Hinata and Naruto." Nino said looking at the blonde boy.
"Take them to Naruto's apartment." Sarutobi commanded.
Nino and her group nodded as they picked up Naruto and went away with Emerald, Hinata, and Jaffar following. Chrono nodded as he followed Sarutobi by air as the aged Hokage jumped from rooftop to rooftop to the Hokage tower. Once there, Sarutobi opened the door to his office and the pair entered. Chrono stood infront of the desk as Sarutobi sat in his chair.
"So, tell me more about your unique form and what you meant by you being a dragon." Sarutobi muttered.
"Well, it started with this war and..."
Chrono then launched into the entire history of his past and the pain that he went through. His conversation then went into Elibe as he spoke about his time with Lyn and the Caelin uprising. Soon after that, Chrono dove into Nergal War with him, Eliwood, and Hector. The story ended at midnight with Chrono's escape from this execution and his appearence here. Sarutobi's mind was nearly blown out of the window after hearing Chrono's story.
"That's quite some story you have there. You being a God and sacrificing yourself to help humans out." Sarutobi muttered quietly.
"In any case, that's my story. The scar you saw on me is my only proof besides me turning into a Dragon. Nino, Jaffar, Emerald and I are strangers in this village and hearing that person's words sounds like my group won't be able to live long if it continues." Chrono muttered.
"That's an easy case. We can say that you have a Bloodline limit. I'll do the same for Naruto." Sarutobi said.
"Also one more thing. When I was in Naruto's mind, I met up with a lady that claimed that her name was Kyuubi. Why was she in Naruto?" Chrono asked.
Sarutobi sighed heavily and Chrono knew he was in for a heavy answer.
"Kyuubi was a demon. It...she attacked out village and nearly tore Konoha into pieces until the Yondaime Hokage sacrificed his life to seal her into Naruto. Ever since then, everyone treated him like he was Kyuubi." Sarutobi replied.
"That's insane." Chrono muttered.
"But it's the truth. I had to put in laws for Naruto to have a chance and grow up like the other kids in the village." Sarutobi said.
"His life won't be easier any time soon. But I'll help him live his life to the fullest." Chrono stated as he turnned and started for the door. Sarutobi stopped him with a parting sentence.
"Show him a life where people like him can live without fear."
"I'll try my best." Chrono replied as he opened the door and exited.
Chrono left the Hokage's tower and flew back to Naruto's apartment where he saw Hinata waiting outside for him.
"Chrono-kun." Hinata said shyily.
"Don't worry. Is Naruto resting up?" Chrono asked.
Hinata nodded as she stared at his wings.
"Well. It's too late for you to head back to your home. How about you stay here for the night?" Chrono asked.
"Ano...Hai." Hinata said as a blush grew a bit more.
"That's settled then. You can sleep with Nino and Emerald. Jaffar and I will sleep outside." Chrono said as he entered the apartment.
Nino, Emerald, and Jaffar walked over to him.
"What did the Marquiess say?" Emerald asked.
"He's going to cover my and Naruto's transformation as a Bloodline limit." Chrono replied.
"Ok then. Jaffar, you and I are sleeping outside tonight." Chrono muttered.
Jaffar nodded as the two men walked outside. Eventually, everyone managed to get some sleep.
*Next morning*
The sunlight hit Chrono as he woke up. He looked around and briefly saw Naruto leaving the apartment.
"Hey Naruto. Why are you up so earily?" Chrono asked.
"I have missions today." Naruto exclaimed as he walked off to the Hokage tower.
Soon afterward, the door opened again and Hinata came out of the apartment.
"Hinata, you have missions also?" Chrono mumbled again after trying to get some sleep.
"Chrono-kun. I do." Hinata replied.
"I guess I'll go with you today and teach you a bit about my skills." Chrono muttered as he looked around.
Jaffar was no where to be found and Chrono shrugged it off as him training. He stood up and stretched for a bit before Hinata started to walk with Chrono flying beside her. As the pair made their way through, various shop keepers nodded and muttered , "Chrono-dono."
"Is everyone in this village always call someone with a Bloodline 'dono'?" Chrono asked.
"I'm not sure." Hinata replied.
Chrono nodded vaguely as he launched Hinata into his world of magical knowledge and by the time they reached the Hokage Tower, Hinata memorized the basics of magic. The pair entered the tower and meet up with her team, which was a boy with a dog, a nother boy with glasses and a lady with red eyes.
"Hinata." the dog boy said.
"Kiba-kun, Shino-kun." Hinata said as she walked over to the team.
"So you must be the boy who's team beat the ANBU member. I'm Kurenai." Kurenai said.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Chrono." The dragon boy said.
"You can't be that strong. The ANBU person was weak. I can beat you easily." Kiba said before Shino placed his hand on Kiba's shoulder.
"Don't. Chrono has briefly demonstrated a portion of his true strength just by controling the elements. I won't be suprised if he knocked you out without even moving." Shino stated.
"Besides, the ANBU lady gave me a harder time then you would. Hinata, I'll see you later for your lessons." Chrono said as he left the area.
Outside of the Hokage's tower, Chrono saw Emerald passing the tower.
"Emerald. What are you doing here?" Chrono asked.
"I was just looking around for a weapon shop so I can get a sword." Emerald said smiling.
"Hmm. I guess I can kill some time. Let's check that shop there. The Ten Swords eh." Chrono muttered as he and Emerald walked into the building.
Shelfs were littered with Kunais and tags and all other weaponry as the pair entered the shop. At the counter, sat a girl with twin bun hair girl in a pink chinesse shirt.
"Hello?" Emerald asked.
"Hello. Welcome to The Ten Swords. How can I help you?" the girl asked.
"My friend here is looking for a sword." Chrono replied.
"Oh. I can help you there. My name is TenTen." TenTen said.
"I'm Chrono and Emerald is the one that wants a sword." Chrono said.
Emerald smiled as TenTen took Emerald to a section of the store. The door opened behind Chrono. He turned to see Jaffar there.
"What are you doing here Jaffar?" Chrono asked.
"Just to see the weapons." Jaffar muttered before he looked around.
Chrono sighed as he waited for the two. After twenty minutes, TenTen and Emerald came out from the section with a Katana that had an Emblem of fire in it's sheath.
"I got your payment. If you need anyone to help you out, just talk to me ok?" TenTen stated as she handed the Katana to Emerald.
Jaffar appeared back from his section of weapons and looked at Emerald.
"I'll help you with some basic stances, attacks and defense." Jaffar muttered.
"Thanks Jaffar. Where's Nino?" Emerald asked.
"Over at the hospital playing with the kids." Jaffar replied as he left the shop to pick up Nino.
"Well, let's get back to the apartment." Chrono muttered.
"Yeah. Let's go." Emerald said cheerfully as she linked arms with Chrono.
The pair left the shop and took a road toward Naruto's apartment.
"It's been awhile since we have been in a peaceful place." Emerald said.
"Yeah. I just wonder what Eliwood is doing?" Chrono muttered.
"I'm sure Ninian and Eliwood is doing fine. It's Hector and Lyn that worries me." Emerald pointed out.
"Yeah that's true. How they got together is something close to a mystery to me." Chrono laughed a bit as they reminise back on the old days.
Eventually, they made it back to Naruto's apartment where said owner of the apartment was waiting for them.
"So Naruto, ready to learn some of our style?" Chrono asked.
"Yup. I saw that Hinata girl and told her to head to the training ground." Naruto said.
"Let's get going then." Chrono said.
This schedule went on for another week until Naruto's outburst. During that time, Chrono managed to get Naruto working on his newly aquired transformation, but not without much success. Hinata excelled in the magical arts that he and Nino taught her and was making fire out of air quickly as Naruto's battle style quickly improved. The training schedule was interupted when Naruto decided he had enough of his D ranked missions.
*One week later, Hokage Tower*
"I had it with the cat! I want a real mission!" Naruto yelled as Chrono, Nino, Jaffar, Emerald and the rest of team seven closed their ears a bit.
"You just became genins just a week ago." Iruka mumbled as he pulled a scroll with a label 'D' on it.
"Well, I'm sure that Sakura and Sasuke have the same idea." Chrono pointed out as he looked at the pair.
Sakura flinched slightly as Sasuke didn't show any signs of acknowledgement.
"Well... How about we let them go on a 'C' ranked mission?" Sarutobi said sitting beside Iruka.
"Yes!" Naruto exclaimed as Kakashi looked at his team with some amusement.
"Well then, bring him in." Sarutobi said as the door behind Chrono opened.
Everyone turnned to see a man with a sake bottle in his hand and slightly drunk.
"Everyone, this is Tazuna." Sarutobi said.
"That's Master super Tazuna." Tazuna corrented in his drunken state.
"It don't matter. What's their mission?" Chrono asked.
"They are to take Tazuna back to Wave Country and protect him from any bandit attacks." Sarutobi muttered.
"Why give me a group of genins? The orange looking boy looks like he'll chicken out first." Tazuna said.
Naruto snapped as he rushed to punch Tazuna. Kakashi grabbed on Naruto's jacket and held him back.
"Naruto, you don't want to kill our client before our mission started." Kakashi sighed.
"Besides, killing your client out of a fit of anger won't look good for the future Hokage." Nino tagged on.
Nino's comment defused Naruto in a heartbeat.
"I'm also going to send Team 8 with you. They have already been briefed and will be waiting for you at the main gate. Chrono, I would like you and your group to go with them to see what a mission here means." Sarutobi said.
Only Chrono and his group caught the meaning behind the aged hokage's words as team seven and Chrono's group left.
Outside the building, Naruto went ahead to start packing his stuff as Sakura also left to pack her stuff. Nino and Emerald followed Sakura with Jaffar following Kakashi. Sasuke suddenly grabbed Chrono's wrist and pulled out a kunai and held it infront of Chrono's face.
"I want to know how you did those jutsus." Sasuke muttered angerily.
Chrono's only reply was a sudden blast of dust and wind in Sasuke's eyes as he knocked the kunai out of his hands and shoved him away.
"I won't teach you anything. I can see that you only want it to further your own ambitions." Chrono muttered before taking off into the air.
Sasuke rubbed the dust out of his eyes and looked around just to see Chrono flying away. He grunted in anger as he marched off to his house to pack his stuff.
Chrono landed at the main gate and grumbled by the recent turn of event.
"What's with that jerk Sasuke. I bet he never place a knife on a fellow villager." Chrono mumbled.
Unknown to him, Ino happened to be walking past the gate when she heard Chrono speak. She heard Chrono and stomped over to him.
"Don't call Sasuke a jerk. Baka!" Ino yelled in his face.
"Who are you?" Chrono muttered as he looked at Ino.
"It's Ino for you." Ino replied.
"I stand by what I say. If you want to change my opinion, beat me up then." Chrono replied.
Ino shifted nervously. After seeing Chrono's team easily beat an ANBU member, she took note not to cross his pass. But didn't mean that she would stop and degrade him.
"In any case, Sasuke can beat you any day." Ino bluntly stated.
"Really? Because I just beat him yesterday and just earlier. Kakashi, Sakura, and Naruto can vouch for me." Chrono retorted even though he was the main cause of Sakura going out cold, Naruto being cut up a bit and knocking Sasuke out.
"You...Sasuke? Hahahaha." Ino laughed.
"In any case, you better beat it before I send you back to your place in pieces." Chrono grumbled having enough of Ino.
Ino looked offended before marching off just as Team 7 and Team 8 came along with Tazuna.
"Are we ready?" Kakashi asked.
"As ready as we'll ever be." Kiba exclaimed as Akamaru barked.
"Naruto-kun." Hinata whispered as she stood beside Chrono.
"Jaffar, Nino, Emerald. Any trouble?" Chrono asked.
"We had no trouble. Sakura brought so much makeup I had to dump them." Emerald said as Sakura simply looked miffed before floating back to Sasuke's side.
"Hinata, Naruto. I'll teach you two along the way." Chrono said.
The said pair nodded.
"Well, we should get going then." Kurenai said with a warm smile.
Everyone nodded as Chrono flew beside the group as they left the gates of Kohona.
