Curse of the Werefox chapter 4: Revelations! Fox vs Wolf
I do not own Naruto, if I did, Guy and Lee would be in a coma from pissing off Tsunade.
"Rasengan!" – Human talk
Rasengan! – Demon talk
'Rasengan'! – Thought
"RASENGAN!"- Person using jutsu
Chapter Start
At the Hokage's Office, Minato was starting to get worried. He trusted that Naruto wouldn't do anything rash with his new powers, but something else was bugging him to no end.
'That night, when Jaraiya and I hit that…'werewolf' as Naruto called it…with our Rasengans, it flew quite a distance from the impact, and with where we hit it, that thing shouldn't have been able to move, it shouldn't even had been able to stand up! And yet…'
He remembered going with Jaraiya to check where the beast had landed, to see if they could catch it and keep it restrained. Unfortunately when they got there…
(Flashback no jutsu)
"Where the hell did it go!" Jaraiya exclaimed. "That thing should've been dead from where we hit it with the Rasengan, or at least crippled beyond repair!"
"I know that, Jaraiya." Minato replied, "and that's what worries me."
Two members of the Anbu Black Ops then arrived on the scene. One wore a dog mask with grey hair that seemed to defy gravity while the other wore a cat mask with long purple hair. "Yondaime-sama, are you all right?" asked the cat masked Anbu.
"I'm fine, Cat." Replied Minato. "But you two need to tell the others we're dealing with something dangerous."
"What should I tell the others?" asked Dog.
"Just tell them to keep their eyes open for any kind of wolf-like creature, Dog" replied Minato, "and tell them if they do find it, that they should notify me first. That creature seems to have regenerative properties much like Fu and Naruto. I'm ranking this creature as a Rank-A threat."
Both Anbu were surprised to say the least. Not many people or beasts were classified as A-ranked threats. The last beast to warrant such a threat was the S-class Kyuubi and Nanabi. Nevertheless, they left to complete their orders.
(End of Flashback no Jutsu)
'Hearing what Naruto told me about what the creature is and what it does makes me think we should've ranked this beast at least as a low S-rank threat. But something else comes to mind about what Naruto said", thought the Yondaime, "if a werewolf is in fact a Human transformed into a man-wolf, then…who was that thing before it transformed?"
(Meanwhile at the Academy…)
While Naruto waited for his turn to take the graduation exams, he thought of a very interesting conversation/warning from Kurama…
(Flashback no Jutsu)
Naruto had been training for a while and were taking a break for now, just talking about Naruto's progress.
Well, kit, you're progressing pretty well, at least faster than I thought possible. Then again with that Jutsu I taught you I guess it's not that much of a surprise.
"Thanks, Kurama-sensei," Naruto replied, "I'll continue to make you proud!"
HAHAHAHAHA I'm sure you will, kit, but I think there's something I should warn you about. It's about the dangers of being a were-beast.
At the mention of the word "dangers" Naruto gave his full attention to the Fox.
Now that I have your full attention, these are some of the risks of being a were-being, although they're not really risks that would necessarily hurt you, you should be aware of them. First off, until I say so: don't try to change forms during a full moon. While it's true that the moon doesn't control when you change it still affects your strength as a Were-Fox. Having a full moon might mean your power is at maximum, but it also runs the risk of you losing control to your feral instincts, and a were-being with no control over his actions or power could is dangerous not just to himself, but to those around you as well, be they friend or foe. The second is that you need to keep in control of your emotions, especially with my chakra in your system. My chakra acts upon your emotions, especially your anger, as does your Were-fox transformation. Put both together and you've got a miniaturized version of me. However, with a stong enough will, you should be able to gain control of your actions, at least if it's not a full moon out. I'm telling you this for your benefit, kit, so you don't go on a rampage and kill someone you care about. That and, well, you're not the worst container I've ever had!
(end of flashback no jutsu)
Naruto was pulled out of his thoughts by the sound of Karui's voice.
"Naruto-kun, you awake? Iruka-sensei just called your name. It's your turn to take the exam." Karui said.
"Thanks, Karui-chan" answered Naruto, "I would've hated to sleep through this exam."
As he went to the front of the class, he couldn't help but notice that both Karui and Fu were wearing their headbands on their head and right arm, respectively. 'They must've passed", Naruto reasoned 'I'm proud of them both.'
Alright, Naruto", Iruka said as Naruto got to the front of the class, "the first thing you have to do for the graduation exam is to do a henge, and if you do that 'sexy jutsu' you pulled last time we reviewed the transformation technique, you automatically fail."
"He he, nothing escapes you does it, Iruka-sensei" replied Naruto, "all right then."
"TRANSFORM!"
When the smoke cleared, in Naruto's place was the image of Minato Namikaze.
"Hm, so you respect you old man so much you've decided to become him?" asked Iruka.
"In a way." Naruto replied, dropping the henge.
"Ok Naruto, next you have to do a Kawarimi." Said Iruka.
In response, Naruto concentrated and found himself where Iruka's chair would've been, and vice versa.
"Excellent job Naruto, now all you have to do is make at least two clones of yourself to get a perfect score."
"Actually, Iruka-sensei, I have a question for you: does it have to be the regular clone technique?" Naruto asked.
"Not really. Do you have something in mind, Naruto?"
"Well, since I can't do the original clone technique, I found a different kind of clone technique that I could use." Replied Naruto. And with that he made the "clone" hand seal and said…
"SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!"
Instantly the room was filled with smoke. When the smoke cleared, it was revealed that there was a Naruto on every desk, even Sakura's, much to her dismay.
"Well, Naruto, I'm impressed. Not only can you use the Shadow Clone Jutsu, but you can make enough clones for each desk in the room. It looks like you pass, Naruto, congratulations!"
"Yeah, yeah, the baka passed." Said a very annoyed Sakura, "NOW CAN HE PLEASE GET RID OF ALL THESE CLONES? ONE NARUTO IS BAD ENOUGH!"
At that Naruto facepalmed. As he dispelled all the clones, he sighed and though, 'Oh well, Fangirls will be fangirls. At least I passed.'
As the newly appointed genin left the academy, Karui asked "Naruto-kun, Fu-san, where are you two going?"
"Well, Karui-chan, Fu-chan and I probably shouldn't stick around here too long. Villagers might cause a ruckus if they found out both Fu-chan and me passed the exam." Naruto answered. "Why don't we meet later at Ichiraku's? Say around 6:00 or something?"
Karui smiled and replied, "Sure Naruto-kun, see ya then! Just don't be late."
As they were leaving the academy grounds, Mizuki stopped them and said, "Naruto, mind if I have a word with you? I promise it won't take long."
"Um, sure Mizuki-sensei. Just give me a minute, ok?" replied Naruto. "Go on ahead, Fu-chan, I'll catch up with you and Karui-chan at Ichiraku's later, ok?"
"Ok, Naruto, just don't be late." Fu said as she kissed his cheek. "Just don't be late, ok? Catch ya later!"
As Fu walked away, Naruto asked, " you were saying, Mizuki-sensei?"
"What if I told you there was a way for you to become Jonin by next morning?" Mizuki replied.
"Really?" asked Naruto with stars on his eyes. "How!"
Mizuki smirked and thought as his eyes flashed purple for a split second, 'Just like a moth to a flame, kukukukukuku'
(Time skip)
As Iruka entered Ichiraku's, he saw Fu and Karui who were waiting for their ramen to be done.
"Karui, Fu, have either of you seen Naruto anywhere?" Iruka asked.
"Sorry, Iruka-sensei, I haven't seen Naruto-kun since he went to go talk to Mizuki-sensei." Fu replied. "He was supposed to meet us here an hour ago."
"Where could he have gone to, Iruka-sensei?" asked Karui. "It's not like Naruto-kun to pass up going to Ichiraku's."
"You're right about that, Karui, and there's really only two things that could keep him from coming here, the two of you, and training. And seeing as you're both here, I can only assume that he's out there training somehow."
"Do you think Naruto-kun's in some type of danger, Iruka-sensei?" Fu asked.
"I'm not sure, Fu, but I just have a feeling that won't go away. I'm going to go look for him, care to join me?"
"Of coarse we will! If Naruto-kun's in some type of danger, we need to help him!" Exclaimed Karui.
"Alright, then. Let's go." Iruka said
As they were searching Fu and Karui were having the same thought: 'Please be okay, Naruto-kun…'
(At training ground 107)
'Geez, where the hell is Mizuki-sensei!' Naruto thought. 'He told me to meet him here with the scroll so he could help me learn a jutsu from this scroll so I could make Jonin.'
He waited a little while longer with the scroll before he said, "doesn't look like Mizuki-sensei, will be showing up anytime soon. I'll just get started without him."
Opening the scroll, he browsed the numerous jutsu on the scroll until he found a jutsu that caught his eye.
"Say, this jutsu looks like something I could do. 'Dragon Style: 5 Dragons Jutsu'. It says here that someone needs to be compatible with all the elemental natures to be able to use this jutsu. Fortunately, with the Rinnegan, I'm able to use all the natures perfectly." Naruto said with excitement.
"Alrighty then!" Naruto said, activating his Rinnegan, "Lets get to work!"
(At the Hokage tower)
Minato was pacing, something he only did when he was either very stressed or very worried. In this case, he was both. For one, he was worried because an hour ago he learned that Naruto had stolen a very dangerous scroll from the archives: The Forbidden Scroll. It contained many of the A and S-Rank Jutsu ever created, it even had the sealing jutsu used to seal the Kyuubi and Nanabi into Naruto and Fu, respectively. He was stressed because when he told the populace the situation, they had caused a riot. Some of it was over the return of the scroll, While the majority of it called for Naruto's head.
'I swear, when those villagers get riled they're an even bigger headache than Guy is. I sure hope you're ok, Naruto.'
When Fu, Karui, and Iruka found Naruto, he was drenched in sweat from all his training. As they approached him, Iruka noticed The Forbidden Scroll was in his possession.
"Naruto, you just graduated from the academy and you're already starting trouble?" Iruka scolded. "I swear, I don't know what to do with you sometimes."
"Huh, but don't I get promoted to Jonin if I learn a jutsu from this scroll, here?" asked Naruto.
"Huh, where'd you hear that, Naruto-kun?" asked Karui.
"Is that what Mizuki-sensei wanted to talk to you about?" Fu asked.
"That's right, Fu-chan. He told me where to find the scroll and where to go once I had it." Replied Naruto.
'Mizuki told him that?' Iruka thought. Suddenly, he heard something in the trees behind him and yelled, "EVERYBODY DOWN!"
As they ducked, a fuzzy blur rushed over them. When they saw who it was that was attacking them, Naruto's eyes widened. 'That's the werewolf from before, but what's it doing here?'
Suddenly the wolf started to shrink down a bit and its fur was almost instantly shed. Naruto immediately noticed that the clouds were covering the full moon.
'I guess when the moon is covered, the transformation is undone' Naruto reasoned.
When the transformation was complete, in the werewolf's spot was none other than Mizuki!
"Drats, looks like I missed my target. Oh well at least Naruto has what I need." Mizuki said dryly.
"NARUTO, KARUI, FU, GET OUT OF HERE!" yelled Iruka.
"Give me the scroll, Naruto." Mizuki slyly said. "Iruka here will just turn you over to the Hokage."
"DON'T LISTEN TO HIM, NARUTO! HE JUST WANTS THE SCROLL!" yelled Iruka.
"Oh, Naruto…give me the scroll and I'll tell you a secret…I'll tell you why you and your green haired girlfriend are hated in this village. Kukukukuku", Mizuki said wickedly.
"NO! DON'T MIZUKI. IT'S FORBIDDEN!"
"13 years ago, the 3rd Hokage sealed the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Seven-Tailed Warrior Beetle into the two of you. BASICALLY, NARUTO AND FU, YOU ARE THE DEMONS WHO ATTACKED THIS VILLAGE! AND NOW I WILL SOON FINISH WHAT THE 3rd HOKAGE STARTED!"
'Naruto…' thought Iruka, hating to have Naruto hear this.
Suddenly, everyone present could hear Naruto laughing a small laugh, which then became a very chilling version of a Light Yagami laugh.
"WHAT'S SO FUNNY, NINE TAILS!" Mizuki demanded.
"You, that's what," Naruto replied "You're a little late to tell me that, Mizuki-teme. In fact, my father told both me and Fu-chan here. Also we both told Karui what we were when we met her. But to call us the demons themselves? You're way off on your conclusions Mizuki-teme."
Iruka sighed in relief that his pupil wouldn't be going on a rampage against anyone. Unfortunatly, it seemed Kami had other plans for them tonight…
"Well, when I'm done with you I'll go after your two sluts and deal with them as well as your teacher here! I can't have any witnesses now can I?"
Suddenly a large amount of killing intent started Radiating from Naruto. The killing intent was so strong, even the Raikage could probably feel it from Kumo.
"Five seconds…"
"What was that, Demon Brat?" Mizuki asked.
"I'M GIVING YOU 5 SECONDS TO RUN BEFORE I CATCH YOU AND KILL YOU!" Naruto exclaimed, his Rinnegan clearly visible to all. "NO ONE INSULTS KARUI-CHAN OR FU-CHAN LIKE THAT!" Red chakra started to cover him as he slowly began his first transformation.
Meanwhile, Iruka, Karui, and Fu were in where they stood. Iruka was frozen by fear, Karui and Fu in awe.
"What's happening to Naruto?" asked Iruka.
"Naruto-kun was attacked by Mizuki last night and Mizuki-teme apparently bit him making Naruto become some kind of WereFox." Replied Karui calmly.
"Why are you two so calm?!" demanded Iruka.
"Because we know Naruto-kun wouldn't hurt us, Iruka-sensei." Fu replied. "So don't worry so much. Hopefully, Mizuki-teme's the only one who should be worried."
Mizuki, having become a werewolf again because the clouds no longer covered the moon, stood his ground.
"5…4…3…" Naruto began. As he counted Naruto became more and more Kyuubi like.
"2…1…" When Naruto reached one, he was on all fours, looking just like the Kyuubi, only with Blood red Rinnegan eyes because of the Demon Chakra he was practically radiating.
0! Naruto exclaimed in a Kyubi-fied voice and charged with inhuman-like speed as did the Mizuki-wolf. Both beasts went at it, using their claws, teeth, and, in Naruto's case, tails to slash each other, each of them meant to kill the other. Neither side giving an inch as the two forces of nature went at it to the death.
As the battle progressed the area around them was demolished, bit-by-bit. Trees were ripped out of the ground by their roots or demolished completely, rocks and stones It got so bad that Iruka took Fu and Karui away from the training ground so they wouldn't get hurt. Iruka knew Naruto wouldn't willingly hurt his two girlfriends, but he still didn't want to take that chance.
'If this is what Naruto can do against a Werewolf,' Iruka thought, 'just imagine what would happen if he went all out on a normal opponent!'
Back at the former training ground, the fight continued. Thinking Naruto couldn't use jutsu in his form, Mizuki-wolf decided to use some of his own jutsu.
"FIRE STYLE: FIREBALL JUTSU!"
A large fireball was fired at Naruto, who dodged the attack with ease.
So you want a Jutsu battle, eh, teme? I'll make you regret that! Naruto-fox said, rapidly forming handsigns.
"FIRE STYLE: SEARING MIGRAINE!"
A large fire storm was blasted right at Mizuki, who immediately tried to dodge it but unfortunately was not fast enough and got serious burns on the left side of his body. Distracted by the burns on his body, he almost didn't notice Naruto rapidly going through another set of hand seals.
"LIGHTNING STYLE: FALSE DARKNESS!"
A spear of Lightning blasted from Naruto-fox's mouth, and once again, Mizuki-wolf wasn't fast enough to dodge it, taking the hit head on. His body was literally shaking from the electric current flowing through him.
Kinda "shocking" that I know all these moves, eh, teme? Naruto-fox joked.
In response, Mizuki-wolf, not completely recovered from the attacks, snarled and charged at Naruto-fox. Naruto, doging the attack, started rapidly going through another set of hand seals.
"WATER STYLE: WATER DRAGON JUTSU!"
A stream of water in the shape of a serpentine dragon erupted from a nearby stream that was surprisingly untouched from the battle and headed toward Mizuki-wolf at a fast speed. Mizuki being still partially paralyzed from Naruto's Lightning style Jutsu got hit by the Dragon bullet and got knocked back hitting a tree.
PE-YU! Now this place smells like wet dog, joked Naruto.
As Mizuki-wolf got back up, he noticed that the clouds were starting to cover the moon again, which resulted in Mizuki becoming human again. Unfortunately for Mizuki, Naruto stayed as a Mini Kyuubi.
As Mizuki looked at Naruto-fox in fear, Naruto-fox smugly spat, Well, teme it's been fun but it's time for me to end this. Oh, and thanks for getting me to steal the scroll. If you hadn't, I never would've learned this technique. I don't even know if it'll even work. How about you be my guinea pig, hm? And with that Naruto started to go through another rapid succession of hand seals.
(Start Douten theme here)
"DRAGON STYLE: 5 DRAGONS JUTSU!"
Suddenly a large pentagon appeared over Naruto's head. At the end of each point of the star, A large dragon head formed. The top dragon head was formed with fire, the top right dragon head was made of wind, the top left dragon head was made of lightning, the bottom right dragon head was made of earth, and the bottom left dragon head was made of water.
And now Mizuki-teme, ACCEPT JUDGMENT!
With that all 5 dragon heads combined at the center of the pentagram and fired a massive beam of Blood Red Chakra right at Mizuki. Mizuki, being too tired to even move, could only watch as the jutsu came closer and closer until he was hit with the devastating technique.
With Naruto's Last jutsu of the battle, the entire training ground was engulfed in a crimson blast. When the blast died down, all that remained of training ground 107 was a giant crater with a very dead Mizuki in the center of the crater, a very tired Naruto at one edge of the crater, and the Forbidden Scroll at another edge.
(end Douten Theme)
In Naruto's mind, Kurama was secretly congratulating Naruto. Well Kit, looks like you do have the will to not only control my Chakra perfectly but also the power of the Were-Fox as well. So take a good rest kit, you've earned it.
Not long after Naruto fell unconscious, Fu, Karui, and Iruka came to check on him, thinking that the battle was over. To say that Naruto's clothes were in a state of disrepair would be an understatement, as his usual Orange jumpsuit was torn beyond repair. Naruto, however, seemed to be resting peacefully in the arms of his beloved girlfriends.
As Iruka looked at Naruto, he though, 'Naruto, you never cease to amaze me. I'm sure that your father will be proud of you.'
Chapter end
WHEW! That was a really long chapter! Hope the Werefox vs Werewolf fight wasn't a disappointment. I hope you like Naruto's collection of Jutsu so far and I hope you like the Jutsu I created: Dragon Style: 5 Dragons Jutsu. In case you don't recognize the fire and lightning style jutsus Naruto used, Kakuzu in the Anime/Manga uses them both. Hope you enjoyed my first fight scene!
P.S. I don't own the Naruto OST theme Douten (heaven rising event). If you don't remember it look it up on youtube or something as it is a very cool theme. So I'd check it out if I were you. Peace out viewers!
