Four things I forgot to mention about Naruto's and Isaribi's change in appearance

1) Their nails are sharper than normal humans, but not as sharp as Kyuubified Naruto nails, and they are black in color (for both hands and feet)

2) Their lips are a slightly darker shade of green than their skin (not the stripes)

3) They have no bellybuttons

4) Their gills are located on their necks, right below their jaw line. There are three gill slits per each side of their necks.

Also they will not be transforming to use their 'fish powers'. As they are now they have the increased strength and the hard skin that Isaribi had in her transformed state in the anima. But because the scales are smaller and finer, they are softer to the touch and Naruto's and Isaribi's sense of touch is undisturbed. Sorry if I didn't make this clear enough when writing the last chapter.

Ages:

Naruto and Isaribi: 4

Anko: 14

Yamato: 16

Kakashi: 18

Third Hokage: 62

'Thought'

"Speaking"

"Jutsus/Demon speaking"

"Fish speaking"- Sounds like shrieks/whistles and clicks, similar to whale songs

----------------------------

Previously

"Glade to see you two got out" Anko said smiling as she passed out.

And that is how the ANBU of Konoha found the three. Drawn by the explosion they found Anko lying on the beach, unconscious, and Naruto and Isaribi in the surf watching over her.

----------------------------

Now

Anko began to regain consciousness.

She could feel the soft bed and sheets surrounding her and judging by just how much she felt, she was naked under the sheets. She could feel a monitor on her wrist and hear the soft rhythmical beeping of a machine in the background, in tune with her heart.

'Ok, so I'm in a hospital.' Opening her eyes she immediately closed her eye's again, 'Yup, defiantly a hospital. Why the hell are lights always so bright in a hospital, and right above your face?'

Opening her eyes slowly this time she blinked to clear the dots from her eyes. Taking in her surroundings she noted that she was by herself in a small white room with a window off to her left. Looking out the window she recognized where she was, she was back in Konoha.

Trying to sit up, she immediately cried out in pain as her body felt like it was on fire and it seamed to be coming from the curse seal. Sitting fully up and letting the sheets fall down to her waist she placed her fight hand over the curse seal. This seamed to calm the pain as it faded away to a dull ach in a couple of minuets.

Taking a few deep breaths she regained her composure and absentmindedly brushed away a stray lock of hair that fell on her now sweaty forehead. Suddenly the door to the hospital room opened up and entered the third Hokage followed by an ANBU agent who was a little older than Anko wearing a tiger mask. Upon seeing Anko's current state of dress (she is still showing off the Mitarashi twins for the world to see) the Sarutobi just smiled while the ANBU agent turned his head, a faint trail of blood coming from the nose holes in the mask.

Coughing slightly and lightly tugging on his shirt, Sarutobi said, "Feeling better Anko?"

"Fine, thank you" Anko said cautiously, trying to find the meaning behind the Hokage's strange behavior. Then a slight breeze reminded her of her state of undress and turning red as a tomato she quickly covered her self up. "M-My apologies, Hokage-sama."

Laughing Sarutobi said, "It's ok, I'm a married man with a daughter, so it's nothing new. However, I was worried for poor tiger-san here" he said gesturing to the ANBU agent next to him.

Said ANBU agent quickly game to attention and even with his mask on, you could see the color draining from his face.

"Moving on," said Sarutobi, his voice becoming serious, "I need you to tell me what happen."

And that is how Anko spent the first couple of hours back in Konoha, telling the Hokage and his ANBU guard everything about her time with Orochimaru. Every little detail she told, even things she would normally keep her mouth shut about, this is because she was injected with truth serum before she woke up. When she was done with her tale the Hokage told her before leaving that the council will be deliberating do decide her fate, but that if all when well she would be allowed to be a Konoha nin after a probation period. After that was said, Sarutobi left but left the tiger ANBU member behind.

XxXxX

Returning to his office, Sarutobi sighed, he was getting to old for this shit. He just went over what Anko said and it filled his heard with regret. 'How many lives will that mistake I made destroy? Now three more lives have been clamed.'

Sitting down at his desk he looked down at a metical folder that was slightly burnt. It was from Amachi and it contained the data about the transformation Naruto and Isaribi went through. While the body of said mad doctor was found charred and missing a few parts due to Anko's bomb, the data he collected after the transformation was complete miraculously survived to explosion.

Opening the folder up, Sarutobi began to read…

Subject #1

Age: 4 years old

Sex: Male

Status: Container of the Kyuubi no Kitsune and first subject in Project Sea Power.

Subject #2

Age: 4 years old

Sex: Female

Status: second subject in Project Sea Power

Day 1 after transformation process

After removing the subjects from the tank and bringing him to the recovery room, the Kyuubi took control of subject #1 body. After a brief confrontation the Kyuubi transformed both subject #1 and #2 into a more perfected form of the intended results for Project Sea Power. Soon after the change was complete subject #1 once again fell unconscious. DNA was removed to from both subjects for study and the seal for the Kyuubi was examined on subject #1. It appears that it was weakened from the transformation process but is slowly repairing itself. At the rate it is repairing it will be fully repaired in four days.

Day 2

The DNA results on both the subjects have been completed. Despite their changes, both of them remain human with the change taking up the gene segments that are reserved for blood limit. It appears that as a bloodline it is hyper dominant. This means that any children that the subject have with normal people will have the same transformation. This will override all other blood limits the other parent might have in favor of the transformation. It also appears that it will not loose it's potency by breeding out of the "family" so to speak that is a problem with other bloodlines. This means that in two to three generations times we could amass an army of solders with the transformation just by using Subject #1 and #2 as breeding stock.

The one question that still bugs me is why. Why did the Kyuubi also transform Subject #2 as well as Subject #1. By talking with the Kyuubi today, who still can control subject #1 unconscious body, he said that he would not have a weak host. When I asked him about subject #2 he just laughed and said that he experiences everything that subject #1 experiences. This lead me to wonder if the Kyuubi transformed subject #2 so subject #1 could have a mate, or at least someone he could have sex with, so the Kyuubi could feel the pleasure. I'm sure this is one of the reasons but I also believe the Kyuubi just likes to mess around with and destroy people's lives.

Day 3

The results of the DNA test done yesterday about the potency and nature of the bloodline were confirmed today with more tests. The blood limit has officially been named the Mer blood limit. However after studding it, it appears that we won't be able to artificially give people this blood limit. My suggestion is that we use these two as breading stock at the earliest possible time, age 14 if my data about their physical growth is correct.

Day 4

The seal for the Kyuubi has finished healing and both subjects remain unconscious, nothing new to report. By looking back on the conversations with the Kyuubi, I have been able to surmise that the Kyuubi transformed subjects #1 and #2 to a) increase their power so the Kyuubi would have a strong vessel, b) to experience pleasure, both during the transformation and latter, and c) to screw around and mess up not only their lives but the experiment itself.

Day 5

Both subjects have awoken, but there is a complication. They appear to have reverted back to a more primitive animal mindset due to the stress placed upon them. They can communicate with each other through their own language (fish speak is what I like to call it). They also appear to know how to instinctual hunt for fish and swim. While this is a set back, it doesn't seem like these results are permanent. Given some time, their minds should reset themselves.

Day 6

A physical was done on the subjects. Their scales prove to be ten times harder than human skin, but because they are so small, their skin appears to be soft and they can feel it when the scales are touched. Their eyes operate both in and out of water perfectly with no problems and they are at least three times as strong as a normal human. They can handle Antic tempter water and near boiling temperature water, all while they are naked and in a span of a couple of minuets from each other with no negative effects upon their bodies. However, they don't like electricity and are slightly more susceptible to it than a normal human.

Day 7

The subjects seem to be able to handle pain at varying levels extremely well, but this might just be the effect for their current mindset. Both subject #1 and #2 seam to be forming a close bond with each other and I found them sleeping next to each other in their tank this morning.

Reading this information over again, Sarutobi sighed, he was getting way to old for this shit.

A knocking on the door awoke him from his thought and he said "Enter."

Coming into the room was an ANBU agent wearing a dog mask with gravity defying silver hair. Walking up to the desk the nin said, "Hokage-sama, the council is in session to decide the fate of Anko-san and the children. You are needed there."

Sighing, Sarutobi said, "Thank you Kakashi, I will be their momentarily."

Bowing slightly Kakashi turned his back on the Hokage and left the room. Sarutobi stood up, fixed his robes and disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

XxXxX

Entering the council room Sarutobi looked at all of the assembled council members. There were the clan heads, his two former team mates, and elected officials from the town. The only thing that they all shared in common was that they were all ninjas of Konoha at one time or another.

Taking his seat Sarutobi began to talk, "I have called this meeting to inform you of a series of events that have taken place over the last couple of days…" (he goes into a long explanation about how Anko blew up Orochimaru's base, that her story was verified through truth serum, and that she has the cures seal).

"There is also the condition of the two children that where found with her. Both of them were experimented upon by Orochimaru and as a result given a new aquatic blood limit that transformed them into "fish people" for lack of a better word. One of them we only know her name and age, one Mako Isaribi age 4. The other, however, is a citizen of Konoha … Uzumaki Naruto."

Upon hearing the fact that the Naruto was back the council went into an uproar. They thought that they were finally rid of the Kyuubi brat once and for all. So sure of the fact that he was dead or gone the revoked the thirds law surrounding him and the secret that he was the jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi. It is now public knowledge and even in the history books that the Kyuubi is sealed inside of him.

Almost immediately some of the counsel members began calling for his execution while the others discussed locking him up or letting him roam free. The ruckus got so bad that Sarutobi was forced to quiet them down using his killing intent.

"Now that I have your attention," he said eyeing the counsel members. "Lets discus what should happen to Anko-san, Isaribi-chan, and Naruto-kun. The cures seal can be blocked off on Anko-san but the question is will she still remain loyal to Konoha or betray it. As for Isaribi-chan and Naruto-kun, they are victims in this case and need time to recover and attempt to live normal lives."

"Hokage-sama, can you tell us more about this transformation that the children when through?" asked Hiashi Hyuuga.

This made Sarutobi mentally cringe. He wanted to avoid telling the council all the details but since they asked, by law he was forced to tell them. Passing out copies of Amachi's report Sarutobi said, "Its better if you read the medical reports done by the man who conducted the experiment in the first place."

Very quickly the council read over the report. When they were done one of the members said, "She has been corrupted by the demon as well. We can't let her live."

This comment was met with approval and disapproval from both sides. Finally having enough of the constant bickering Sarutobi said, "ENOUPH! We will not be executing two children and that is final. However the fate of Anko-san is still in question. We could execute her, put her in jail for the rest of her life, or put her on probation and then reinstate her as an active shinobi. I suggest we go with the third option. We are still low on our shinobi numbers from the Kyuubi attack and her power can be useful. From what information we were able to retrieve, she is at least high-chunin level in strength and knowledge if not more."

"I agree with Hokage-sama on this," said one council member. "We need all the ninja we can get and the two children can be used to start a new clan. Think how useful a clan that could operate underwater would be to the village."

The other council member, even those who hated Naruto, couldn't argue with this logic and agreed to what the Hokage proposed.

"And with that, this meeting is over." Said Sarutobi as he stood up and left the room.

XxXxX

Back in the hospital Anko had just fallen back to sleep and the ANBU member was sitting in a chair when the door to the room opened. In walked/crawled Naruto and Isaribi (remember they are still feral from the mental trauma) in hospital gowns. The ANBU member noticed them but decided to do nothing.

He knew who they were and he also knew that they came in with Anko. But even if he knew them he wasn't going to let his guard down. The kids bite and scratch a lot as two ANBU members found out the hard way when they retrieved them from the surf.

He watched as Isaribi made her way to Anko, curled up on her chest, and fell asleep. This seen would have made him laugh if he didn't see Naruto coming towards him. He wasn't afraid of Naruto because of the Kyuubi (he has ways around that problem) but he wasn't in the mood to get bitten by him ether. But what Naruto did do surprised him to no end.

Naruto walked/crawled right up to him curled up in his lap, where he promptly fell asleep. At first the ANBU member was nervous, but that soon passed and as he looked down at the kid he couldn't help but to think how cute he looked (he's NOT a pedophile people! Get your minds out of the gutter)

After about ten minuets of this the door opened again and in walked the Hokage. Looking at the ANBU member who didn't come to attention when he walked into the room he noticed Naruto curled up in his lap and Isaribi curled up on the seeping Anko's chest.

"My apologies, Hokage-sama," said the ANBU agent. "They came in here on their own and fell asleep and I didn't want to disturb him by standing up."

Chuckling the Hokage said, "its fine Yamato-kun (if you saw that coming then you get a cookie), I understand."

Walking over to Anko, Sarutobi gently nudged her awake. "Anko-san, the council has come to its decision," he said once she was fully awake and aware of the child on her chest. "You will be placed on a six month probation period and afterwards you will be tested to see what your ninja ran should be. The council has also decided to let Isaribi-chan and Naruto-kun live in freedom in the village."

"What will happen to them?" asked Anko.

"Well, seeing how they already feel comfortable around you, how about you take care of them. And in return you will only have a moth of probation instead of six. Sound fair?" Sarutobi said with a small smile.

"I accept, Hokage-sama"

(time skip)

It's been one year since Anko returned to Konoha with Naruto and Isaribi. To say that the villagers were unhappy with the Kyuubi brat's return would be an understatement. Within an hour after his return was made public three separate mobs had been formed and were subdued in a peaceful manner (as peaceful as ANBU agents can be). But once the villagers saw his new appearance they began to freak-out even more. Luckily for Naruto and Isaribi, whom the villagers dammed by association, there appearance unsettled the villagers so much that most of them stayed away, choosing to insult, ignore, and in other ways mentally abuse the two where they were to afraid to physically abuse.

Anko was also having a ruff time readjusting to life in the village. Because her association with Orochimaru came out she became known as the Snake Whore and was likewise shunned by the village just like Naruto and Isaribi. Some of the shinobi were nice to her, but the only ones that showed her any true kindness was her long time friend Kurenai, the third Hokage Sarutobi, and surprisingly Yamato.

After her month long probation Anko was tested by three jonins to see what rank she should be placed at. She was able to take out two of them before the third Jonin took her down. Based on her skill she was given the rank of Jonin with the possibility of joining ANBU in six months after her loyalties had been assured and skills verified through missions. Needless to say the ANBU gained a new member in six months and she was given the snake mask and placed in the same squad as Yamato (the tiger mask if you forgot already).

However, because she was in ANBU and doing missions, Anko was not always there for Naruto and Isaribi. She would help them and comfort them when she could, but when she wasn't around they were the only ones the other had (they are still just friends you perverts).

That brings us to the present day. The chunin exams are once again being held in Konoha and it is the month between the second and third exam (the month is July, just to let you know).

Kisame was sitting on the surface of one of the lakes near a training ground. All of the members of his genin cell have made it to the third exam and were currently using the time break between the second and third exam to get some training in. The three chunin hopefuls were currently working on their chakra control by seeing how long they could jump up and down on the lake surface. Not only did this work on their control but it also built their leg mussels and increased their stamina, a three for one deal in Kisame's book.

A loud splash was heard as on of his student's fall into the lake. This brought a savage laugh out of Kisame as he beheld his student, sitting in a foot of water covered in mud (they're practicing near the shore). "I think that is enough for right now. You three go get some lunch and then come back and we will try again. Only this time you will pump chakra to your legs as you jump to increase the height of your jump," he said, still chuckling.

A course of "Yes sensei" could be heard as the three mist shinobi walked off.

"And for heaves sake, if you scare any leafies make sure you have them pee their pants," he yelled at their disappearing form.

Pulling a sealing scroll from his jonin vest he unfurled in on his lap. With a puff of smoke, a sushi set appeared in Kisame's out stretched hand. Grinning savagely he began to devour his favorite meal, all the while he was still sitting on the surface of the lake.

He was almost done with his meal when he felt the water underneath him move with the presence of two objects underneath him. Glancing down he sees two sleek forms moving through the water, barley visible in the lake. As he's watching the two forms they suddenly veered up and surface their heads right in front of him.

To say that Kisame was shocked by their appearance is an understatement. Here, right before him are two kids no older than five, covered in scales, and breathing underwater with gills. The first thought that coursed Kisame's mind was 'I knew my mother was a whore, but I never thought she got around this much.'

Thus thought caused him to chuckle and break into a smile that would cause a baby to cry. But instead of being frightened Naruto and Isaribi just returned the feral grin with their own sharp teeth.

Seeing this Kisame's smile grew wider and then took two pieces of sushi and tossing it to them said, "Catch!"

Both Naruto and Isaribi opened their mouths and moved a little but up out of the water and caught the sushi in their mouths, which they quickly devoured.

"Thanks sharky-san!" said Naruto as he broke out into a foxy smile.

Chuckling at the nickname Kisame said, "The name's Hoshigaki Kisame…" but he stopped and looked down at his plate. While he was introducing himself he was reaching for another piece of sushi but he realized he just gave the last peaces to the two kids in front of him.

Sighing he got up from his sitting position and when to the shore where his bag was to get more sushi. Pulling out the second plate of sushi he turned to Naruto and Isaribi. "So, my fishy friends, you got any names?"

"Uzumaki Naruto"

"Mako Isaribi"

"Well then my little maelstrom and shark (play on what their family names mean), care to join me for some more?" he said holding out the plate of sushi.

Now Kisame isn't usually this nice with kids and is legendary for his protectiveness over his sushi, but he is curious about the two and their apparent blood limit/ mutation and he figured that the best way to observe them is to play nice.

Quickly the two came out of the water and walked over to Kisame. Naruto was wearing a pair of black shorts and a gray t-shirt with the Uzumaki spiral on the back in orange. Isaribi was wearing a pair of black shorts and a blue t-shirt with embroidery of waves on the right sleeve in white. On their feet they had on black sock like things (think what Envy wears on his feat in Fullmetal Alchemist) that aloud their enabled their webbed feet to function properly while offering some protection to the soles of their feet. (A.N: their shirts and shorts are waterproof)

Kisame took in their appearance as they came out of the water, noticing that they were completely covered in the green scales (description is in chapter 2). Quickly they sat down in front of him and looked up (he towers over them even when he is sitting). Kisame stared back for a few seconds, observing the two before he placed the plate of sushi on the ground in between the three of them.

"Hey Kisame-san! What are you doing hear? And why does your head band look different from everyone else? Why?" asked Naruto in a cheerfully hipper voice that only a five year old could make as he took a bite out of the piece of sushi in front of him.

"What is this food called? It's really good! Right Naru-kun?" asked Isaribi.

"Right you are Isi-chan! So what is it called? Come on, tell us! Please?" asked Naruto as both he and Isaribi gave Kisame puppy eyes.

"HEY! One question at a time! For starters this amazing food is called sushi. Second, I am a shinobi from Kirigakure, and I am here because of the chunin exams that my genin team is taking part in."

"So does that mean you a jonin?" asked Isaribi.

"Actually I'm ranked higher than a jonin! I'm a member of the seven swordsmen of mist!" Kisame said proudly puffing out his chest.

"That's so cool!" shouted Naruto.

"Is that your sword?" asked Isaribi pointing towards Kisame's sword covered in its usual wrappings.

"Yes it is, and NO you may not see it or touch it!" Kisame said as he glared at the two children.

"Aw, you're no fun." huffed Naruto. "When we become ninjas we will get cooler swords and not let you see them, ha!"

Raising his eyebrow Kisame said, "You two are going to become Leaf-nins?"

"Yup!" replied Naruto and Isaribi

"We start classes start tomorrow at the academy!" said a happy Isaribi.

"Yea, it's going to be so cool to be a ninja and learn all those cool attacks!" shouted an excited Naruto.

"Yes but remember being a ninja isn't all fun and games," said a grinning Kisame, but on the inside he was thinking, 'Dam it! Now Konoha will have underwater specialty ninjas. This could poise a threat. Maybe I should…'

His musings were cut off by the return of his genin team.

"Hey sensei we're back… HOLY SHIT!! SENCE WHEN DID YOU HAVE KIDS!!"

"Their not mine you fucking assholes. Just for that, laps around the surface of the lake. NOW!" Kisame shouted and seeing the predatory look in his eyes the three genin quickly took off.

Turning back to the kids, Kisame noticed that they were on the ground, laughing at the antics. Naruto was laughing so hard that he had to hold on to the side of his chest while Isaribi's gills were puffed out from laughing.

"Yes, laugh it up brats but just remember…HEY! You ate all of the SUSHI YOU BRATS!!" yield Kisame.

This caused Naruto and Isaribi to laugh even more, despite the death glare from the shark man.

Kisame was getting ready to make some more sushi out of the two kids when he heard someone enter the aria, coming towards him. Looking to his right he saw that a Konoha ANBU agent wearing a snake mask had just entered the field.

Before he could do anything Naruto called out and waved, "Nii-chan! Over here!"

"There you are Naruto, Isaribi. You two have to get ready for your first day at the academy tomorrow. So get going now and I will see you at home," said Anko in a sing song voice that warned of punishment if she wasn't listened to.

"Ok, fine, we're gone," said Naruto as he stood up and grabbed Isaribi's hand. "See ya around Kisame-san!" shouted Naruto while Isaribi called back to him and shouted "Bye!"

"Sorry if they caused you any trouble Kisame-san," said Anko as she gave him a slight bow.

"It was bearable," said Kisame. "They just surprised me. I didn't know Konoha had a blood limit like that."

"It didn't before they came along. Now if you will excuse me," said Anko in a sad voice as she disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

This left Kisame sitting in the middle of the field thinking about the snake masked ANBU agent's words. Little did he know that he was fated to meet the Naruto again in the future, only on much different circumstances.

That's it for this chapter. Next chapter: The Ninja Academy!!

Please review and tell me what you think.
