Special note for the guest basher... this' but a fanfic, okay?
As I implied, the Team 8 were trained by their parents earlier than their classmates and they're still in the Academy.
*Smashing of the 4° wall* (Writer lays on the corner bleeding)
Hitomi - Keep badmouthing my daughter and I'll hunt you!
Tsume - My pup can defend himself, but I loathe people that look down on my family!
Shibi - You are lucky that we aren't real. *Ominous buzzing*
Urgh... the bill to fix the wall... (Writer has fainted, readers get one chapter)
Tsunade was watching as the group before her interacted. It felt good to be part of a family again, even though her heart had brief pains at times. 'I'll make up to you, Naruto. Nobody should grow without knowing love.' The boy was running from Kyou as they hopped on the trees, using the tree-walking technique. Kigen was lying beside her, munching on some jerky. "Do you still feel guilty?" She looked at the gray wolf. "I can't help it. I'm the last descendant of a man considered a legend, yet I broke down where he stood strong." He sighed. "I know how you feel, as the member of a powerful clan, I should be fighting with my kindred, but I'm out here." He had a faint smile. "But I think that there is a difference. You had too much on your shoulders, while my clan let me make my own choices."
Shizune was trading stories with Roppoi, surprised at how much she was yet to find out. She would love to meet the great dragoness that ruled over the five tribes, she sounded like Senjū Hashirama. "But we have our own Madara, and he has his eyes on this land." Shizune was a little worried, having heard tales from Tsunade about the two founders of Konoha. "So you are working to block him." The black wolf nodded. "It's not only us, there are many scouts across the Elemental Nations, some rescue victims of conflicts that are still strayed, others find about critical information and some try to understand how to interact with you lot."
Kyou was chasing Naruto with all she had, intent in making him develop escape and stealth skills. 'Come on brat, try to mislead me with the Kage Bunshin!' The fox was desperate to flee the crazy wolf, having lost some fur on his tail by now. 'This is unfair!' She was much more skilled and agile than him! His only chance of relief was the spamming of KB, but they were busted out in seconds. 'So that's how the gullet of a wolf looks like...' He had already figured the memory transfer trait, as the clones were dispatched in gory ways. "Run, my prey! Run!" She nipped the leg of the last fox remaining, making him dangle from her mouth. "You lost again~ Ah, he fainted."
"Hey kit, shouldn't you be getting better at this?" Naruto looked at the pure orange fox. "I am, but I think that Auntie Kyou is pretending to be worse than she is." The Kyūbi was somewhat impressed at this insight. "I figured as much, but she's making you grow every time." The boy smiled. "And I loved to meet Grandma Tsunade and Auntie Shizune." There was a loud snort. "The Legendary Sucker and the Broken Luck Brat. If you lose against her, it will be a disaster." The larger fox honestly prayed for this situation to never arise. 'The shitstorm would be impressive, to say the least.'
Naruto woke up to the smell of roasted boar. "The princess is back." His father handed a chunk of the hind legs of the animal. "Get your energy back. You're growing after all." His whiskers trembled in a way that made Shizune squeal. "So cute!" The brunette grabbed the fox and was cuddling him. "Let him go, you're strangling him." Roppoi was trying to pry her grip on the boy.
Tsunade was about to eat her portion when she felt poking on a certain body part. "Kyou, you have five seconds to explain." The brown wolf faced the blonde, staring at her chest. "Are those real? The last time I saw guns this big was in the Tsuki clan." Tick marks popped on Tsunade's forehead, this wolf was like her perverted ex-teammate. "Grit your teeth!" She did an uppercut that sent Kyou flying to the distance. "Wow, the last time she got beaten this bad was when she groped the leader of the Tsuki clan." Kigen winced at the trees falling in the distance.
A jaguar was lying on a tree branch. "Man, this' so boring." A bobcat was on a lower branch. "Suck it up, Hanten. If you want to see your 'big sister' you better straighten up." Hanten glared at the smaller feline. "That's funny, Hasamu. I recall you complaining loudly about not being able to see your 'crush' in months." Hasamu got a stiff smile. "Wanna go?" "Sure!" They were about to fight when a shadow covered them. "Huh? / Ah?" A brown wolf crashed on them, knocking them out.
Roppoi whistled at the scene. "Wow, good shot Tsunade." The blond stared at the three victims of her outburst. "Hey, those two have horns for real?" Each feline had two pairs of horns and ears. "Yeah. The jaguar has the upper pair facing forward, so it's a male, the cat is female, the other way to tell is the tail." It was a strange style of sex dysmorphism, but she had seen weirder things. "Line them up, I'll heal them." Kyou was already getting up.
Hanten was the second to wake up, getting wary at the sight of strangers. "Wait, are you Kigen?" "Hanten? Weren't you back home?" The two males laughed. "I missed my sis, so I volunteered to be a scout." The wolf froze at that. "She's here?" "In Konoha, why?" He began sweating bullets. "Did you forget that incident?!" "Ah, I'm sure she forgot by now." Kyou decided to pipe in. "Actually no, I'm her pen-pal and she wrote quite a rant when I told her that you adopted Naruto." Now Kigen became a living waterfall. "But what did you do, exactly?" Hanten only heard some rumors about the 'incident' but only the two involved knew the details. "Better left unsaid..." The male wolf fell to his knees, trembling in fear. 'I should have never tried to investigate that noise...'
Shizune was curious. "What are talking about, Roppoi?" The black wolf was sighing. "I only saw the aftermath. Somehow he pissed up the woman so badly that she managed to bypass his bloodline defense." She recalled seeing an almost dead Kigen in the Intensive Care Unit For Terminal Idiots, DunceCare for short. "He never gave me the details either."
Naruto was clueless to what the adults were talking about.
Hinata was walking around with her friends, killing time after finishing the Academy assignments. "Hey guys, let's prank those genins." They looked at Kiba, who was smirking. "Well, it should be a good way to test our skills." She had already activated her eyes. "I'm seeing a group at the fifth block, painting fence mission. And there's a second one going there, Tora rescue mission." They rushed to the location, plotting on the way there.
The Inuzukas were hiding in the bushes. 'I've used Henge on Akamaru and myself, now we have to wait for the signal...' Shino was watching from a tree. "Did she get the cargo?" Hinata walked by with a cat on her arms. *Meow~* The disguised duo went to wreak havoc on the fence painters right when the Tora chasers were in sight. "There's the devil's cat!" Shino made his kikaichū carry away the paint cans, swapping those for ones in a different color.
The group of friends watched as hell was unleashed, holding back their smiles. Even Tora was giving his version of a laugh. But they all felt a powerful intent behind them, that sent the cat running away. 'Oh snap.' Only a few people managed to make them feel like this. "They're right behind us, right?" Akamaru let out a strangled howl, summing up what the humans felt.
Kiba, Hinata, Shino and Akamaru were cowering at the sight of their 'teachers'. 'What did they plan this time?!' 'Please, not the cassowary course!' 'The chances of survival unscathed are...' Hitomi and Tsume were smirking. "Are you ready?"
Backstory - How an Aburame, a Hyūga and an Inuzuka came together.
Aburame Shibi was tending to the hives at his clan compound when he heard a ruckus right behind the wall he was facing. 'Those Inuzuka ought to behave themselves.'
Hyūga Hitomi was facing Inuzuka Tsume. "Hey, I was going to take those cinnamon rolls!" A box of pastries was in the middle of a tug-of-war. "Tough shit, queen. You give no orders to this bitch." Two dark haired women were having a face off in the middle of the street, sending weaker people running in fear. "Aan~? Did I hear you talking smack?" One could see the sparks going off between them. "Are you deaf and blind? I bought these!" A scarred black and white dog was snarling along with his partner. "Only because you shoved me!"
The Aburame clan leader got a bit worried when the kikaichū went into overdrive, they were sensing the massive bloodlust right behind the same wall as before. 'Those recent female clan heads are a bit too trigger-happy to my taste.'
Tsume was about to unleash her clan techniques on the woman. "The mangy mutt wants to fight? Then I'll even the field!" A large griffin with the traits of the horned owl and tiger popped up. "Oh... so the sheltered birdy can't fight alone?" Hitomi was close to exploding. "Look who's talking, your entire clan depends on some doggies, without them you're all useless!" It was on, the two fierce women would slug it out.
Shibi took the care to evacuate the area, giving orders to his kin to take the larvae and eggs from there. 'If I'm not mistaken, it's those two.' He was nervous, not sure if he could withstand two scorned females.
Tsume used the Gatsūga with Kuromaru while Hitomi charged an attack that formed an ethereal lion head on her fist as the summon cloaked itself with a burning aura. 'Jūho Shoshiken!' Their attacks clashed together and exploded.
Shibi was staring at the two females and one dog passed out on the floor of his house. 'I wonder what would have happened if they weren't holding back and I didn't end up detecting them.' An entire wall section and a portion of greenery of his compound were obliterated. 'And all over a box of sweet pastry.' Then he got pensive, it would be advantageous to form bonds with them, and considering that they had children in the same age group... 'But not before settling the repair bill with them.'
Two kikaichū that were about to kick the bucket bit the cheek of each woman, leading to a resounding slap on them. They got up and locked sights, almost jumping back into a brawl. "Ladies, I would appreciate if you didn't wreck up my office." Shibi almost jumped at the feral glares. 'I would love to use the Nara catchphrase now.' He cleared his throat, having caught their attention for now. "I have been thinking of forming a bond between our clans, similar to the Ino-Shika-Chō."
One glanced at the other, considering the man's words. 'She did manage to knock me out... not bad for a stick in the mud.' 'She's not too shabby for a fleabag.' The women suddenly punched each other, making the bespectacled man sigh. 'Oh bother...' "Wipe that smug look!" "Wanna say what's in your mind?!" Tsume and Hitomi began grappling and rolling on the floor, trying to use their clan techniques on the enemy. They ended up knocking down a cabinet on Shibi's head, triggering his temper. 'Those brats...' Twin swarms drained them and pinned them to opposite walls. "I dislike being ignored." Hitomi and Tsume shared the same deadpan look. 'Nobody told you to be so plain. / You're way too passive.'
