Chapter 3 Conformation

"Alright…basically everything you know about demons is a lie." stated Adria Namikaze as she sat across from Ino Yamanaka and Sakura Haruno.

"Ok how are we wrong?" asked Ino

"Well first off the nine demons you know of…what do you call them?" asked Adria

"The tailed beasts." answered Sakura

"Ya…the tailed beasts, well in reality they are all demon foxes." answered Adria

"That is impossible we saw the demons in different forms." stated Sakura "The one-tailed Shukaku all the way up to the nine-tailed Kyuubi."

"All fake, demon foxes using transformation Justus to take on different forms and playing their part in the great operation." said Adria

"There is only one demon fox, the Kyuubi." answered Sakura

"I hate to break your bubble but there is an entire village full of demon foxes, it was where I was born and raised." explained Adria as the two women's eyes widened "Also Kyuubi isn't even that fox's name it is a rank/chakra strength, my father has nine tail so he is a Kyuubi rank."

"What?" asked Sakura

"The tails as you call them are only really found on demon foxes and it is a sign of rank/strength." explained Adria "My Dad is a nine tail, my mom is a seven tailed and I am a four tailed."

"You have the power of a four tailed demon?" asked Ino

"Ya." answered Adria "However I am only 16 and a half give me a few years of training and I will reach at least an eight tail rank."

"I just don't understand." said Sakura

"Alright maybe I should have started way….way back at the beginning." said Adria as she took a breath "Alright see, this world the human world isn't alone. There is another the demon world which is by far older."

"That makes sense some of the summoned animals live in another world." said Sakura

"They live on a third world which is closer to this one the demon world is far older and far larger in its physical size." explained Adria 'Now on this world the five families came to be, there are different stories on how that came to be."

"Five families?" asked Ino

"Yes, each family is made out of three different demon races which share some slimier traits" said Adria

"Wait that would mean 15 different demon races." said Ino

"Ya." answered Adria

"What are the demon races?" asked Ino

"Alright the first family is the Canine family which is the original family of the demon Wolves, Jackals and Foxes." answered Adria as Ino and Sakura listened to her carefully "The second family is the only one that is still together the feline family, Lions, Tigers and Panthers."

"Next came the Reptiles which was made out of Snakes, Lizards and Turtles. After that comes the Insect family with Bees, Ants and Worms." added Adria

"Demon worms?" asked Ino

"Ya, I have been told they are freaky not that I will see them." added Adria "The last family is the great beast family made out of Horses, Apes and Bears."

"I find this really hard to believe." stated Sakura

"I could go into more detail but we don't have time. Besides History of the demon world was among my worst subjects at school." said Adria "I probably get some of the details wrong about the fox war of independentance from the Canine family or the breaking apart of the reptile family but let's just say of the originally five families only one is still together the rest broke apart in different wars."

"Wars?" asked Sakura as Adria laughed

"What did you really think humans had a monopoly on war?" asked Adria "There has been demon wars before this world even formed, in fact the last demon war is the reason you know how to use chakra."

"What are you talking about the sage of the six path taught the ninja ways after sealing away the ten tailed beast." stated Sakura

"Your partly right." corrected the 16 year old Adria "See the ninja arts that the sage of the six paths taught you came from the demon world. A group of demons taught the Sage of the six path while staying in human form. '

"Why?" asked Ino

"They need you to learn chakra to get stronger." added Adria

"An attacker doesn't normally want their enemy to get stronger." said Ino

"Not in this case.' said Adria "You have to understand what the demons want."

"What do they want?" asked Ino "Land?"

"Please….the country side in the demon world is almost void of life, room isn't an issue." stated Adria

"Then what do they want, gold or something else?" asked Sakura

"What the demons want most of all is you." answered Adria as Ino and Sakura looked at each other "The demon race want the human race.'

"Us?" asked Sakura

"Yes." answered Adria "They want the entire human race….well maybe I should be clear they want around 80% of the human race?"

"Why 80%?" asked Ino

"Because some people are too old or are undesirable to them." explained Adria as she lowered her head. "They plan to kill the undesirable."

"Why would they do that?" asked Ino

"The human race would be useless then so they plan to remove them." explained Adria "They may not need the room provided by cleaning this world but if they are going to take most of the human race might as well get the room."

"Do you want the us for slaves?" asked Sakura "Is that what your parents and you are?"

"You could see it that way, I know I do but in order to explain it better I will have to tell you what happened in the last war." answered Adria

"Go ahead." answered Ino

"Alright, see when the human race was just learning how to make fire the lizard kingdom came to believe that they where the best race and should rule over everyone. So they launched an attack on the other nations. Soon old grudges came back up as every nation began attacking the others." explained Adria "The wars went on for ages as your race kept evolving and growing. Millions of demons died in hundreds of battles, it was decided that it had to end so most of the nations joined together in peace however the lizards refused peace terms."

"So the war kept going." said Ino

"Ya….the alliance of the races began a joint march on the Lizard's main village." said Adria

"Who won?" asked Sakura

"Does anyone really win a war?" asked Adria as Sakura and Ino glared at her "Sorry, however no one won, the demon lizard race was whipped off the face of the world."

"How is that not a victory?" asked Ino

"Because they got their revenge, they released a biological weapon that is still being felt today." said Adria as she took a deep breath "They released a gas weapon that spread across our entire world, it killed millions of surviving demons. When the smoke cleared of the fifteen races that had been alive at the start of the war six of them where gone and others where close to death. For some unknown reason it hit the insects and the great beasts hard however enough demons where left alive to rebuild, that was until the side effect of the gas was discovered."

"What is that?" asked Sakura

"The gas made over 95% of the pollution infertile." said Adria

"My god." said Sakura

"It was determined that within three generations all the demon races would die out." Added Adria

"Wait if this happened just as humanity was evolving would the demons had died out by now?" asked Ino

"That would be true however in most demon races life is measured in millions of years." explained Adria as Ino and Sakura raised their eyebrow "Basically if you would live 80 years as a human it is around 80 million years as a demon."

"So it has only been about a generation." stated Ino

"This is when they came up with their plan." explained Adria "Turn humans into demons."

"Turn demons into humans?" asked Sakura as Adria nodded her head.

"Your physicality is close enough to ours to transform, the only thing needed was your race to master chakra and that is why they taught the sage of the six path how to use chakra." Answered Adria "The demons you know where left behind as spies so that they could report back to the demon world your progress until you reach the level they felt was need to transform you."

"Wait you are talking as if you're not a human." said Ino

"Please you haven't figured that out yet?" asked Adria

"You aren't human are you?" asked Sakura

"Nope, I was the first demon born from freshly transformed humans." said Adria "I am a demon fox."

"You look human." said Ino

"As a demon I can take three major forms, a human form, a fox form in which I don't look much different than a fox you would see in the woods. Then my natural form." explained Adria "I came in a human form so that I could talk to you without freaking you out."

"So this isn't your natural form?" asked Sakura

"No.' said Kushina with a smile "However I do find this form interesting, I am not allowed to take this form."

"You're a demon fox?" asked Ino again.

"Yes, I am." stated Adria "But don't worry I am not millions of years old, that would be impossible, see once a demon ages to around 20 or 21 years old their aging slows down."

"If you're a demon they why come and warn us that they are coming?" asked Sakura

"Ya, wouldn't you want your race to live?" asked Ino

"First off I was raised by formally human parents so while I identify myself as a demon I still have a soft spot for humanity. Explained Adria "However truth be told….I am not against their idea."

"You want them to round up humans and turn them into demons." said Sakura "That sounds nothing like Naruto would say."

"Well my older brother and I were raised differently." explained Adria "And while I approve the idea of turning humans into demons I feel they are going about it wrong."

"What does that mean?" asked Ino

"At the moment they want to launch an attack and round up humans, test their chakra and assign them a grade." explained Adria "Then the leaders of the demon nations meet and trade humans back and forth like they were kid trading cards. Then once that is decided they turn the humans and assimilate them into the demon world. Since humans where never exposited to the gas the lizards released they are fertile and their offspring would be pure demons."

"That is sick." stated Sakura "How could you favor that at all."

"I don't approve with how they are doing it." explained Adria as she looked toward Sakura as if she wanted her approval "I feel the demons should offer humans a choice to become a demon."

"What?" asked Ino

"I think instead of forcing humans to turn they should ask for volunteers." said Adria "If a human choices to become a demon then I am fine with it. I feel it would save the demon races and at the same time the human race would be fine. Sadly I am in the minority and the majority wants to force the change on humanity."

"And how do we stop them?" asked Ino

"The demons while stronger then a human are few in numbers and weakened from the war." explained Adria "You have numbers on your side and if you organized right you can hold them off long enough to force a peace."

"Well we know now." said Sakura

"There are more to it than that." added Adria "The demons have been spying on you for ages, using the tailed beasts as hotbeds for their spying activities. They have preselected groups of humans to be taken within the first moments of the war. We are talking about the Kages of your nations, high ranking ninjas and other officials."

"Destroy the chain of command." added Ino "A smart play, with no leader they can move in while everyone else is trying to figure out what is going on."

"That is their plan." added Adria

"I still find this highly unlikely." said Ino

"It's a great risk but I could turn back into my natural form for you." said Adria "Would you believe me then?"

"Why would it be a risk?" asked Sakura

"Because if a demon fox is in the area then they may sense my demon chakra." explained Adria

"Still it would confirm your story." stated Ino "We have to take the risk."

"Alright." said Adria as she pushed back from her chair and began taking off her shoes.

"What are you doing?" asked Ino as Adria took off her shoes and placed them on the table.

"When I turn my feet will change and while changing in clothing is uncomfortable it is doable. Shoes would be ripped apart." explained Adria as she took deep breath "Whatever you do don't move."

"Don't worry." stated Sakura as Adria smiled as she closed her eyes when they opened again her eyes where the same shade of blue only silted like Naruto's was any time the nine tailed cloak covered his body. Quickly red chakra covered Adria's body; the red chakra that covered her began to almost boil as she disappeared into the chakra. Four chakra tails shot off her body snapping behind her as the air became heavy with chakra. Then suddenly the tails mellowed down as the chakra began to pull back, first it was the tail as the chakra disappeared from the tip showing white fur around the end before turning into a deep shade of red. The changes kept coming as the chakra faded away as once pink skin was covered with red fur. The chakra faded off her arms and legs to show that starting from the wrist/knee down was black fur. Her finger nails where now claws that where at least four inches long, . Sakura took a look at Adria's feet only to see that they had changed, her big toe had moved up into a dir claw as her foot gained another joint, her toenails had turn into claws. Her cloths puffed out from the fur which had grown under her cloths, a strip of white fur came up from under her top and ran up to her face which was still covered with chakra.

"My God." said Ino as the chakra left Adria's face. Her red hair was gone replaced with red fur with black pointed fox ears. Her nose had pushed out into a muzzle with a black nose at the end. Her mouth was full of razor sharp teeth as she cracked her neck.

"So what do you think?" asked Adria

"That is what you really look like?" asked Sakura

"Ya…boy having fur with cloths on is itchy." stated Adria as she started to change back her face pulled back into a human looking nose and mouth. Her red hair grew back as he ears migrated back down to the side of her face. The tails disappeared as she returned to normal.

"Don't you where cloths in your world?" asked Ino

"We have fur." answered Adria

"So Naruto's parents are like you?" asked Sakura

"Ya, people say I look a lot like my mom." answered Adria with a smile

Well I hope you liked this chapter and the story I am building around the history of the demon nations and what their plan is. I like to think of this story as a cross between the black fox and the Animals within. Now until next time please keep reading, thanks Wilkins75.
