Chapter 8 The Plan

"So Naruto Namikaze is back with his family?" asked an older demon fox with deep brown fur as fourteen tails moved behind him. Every human live believed that nine tails was the strongest level of demon was a nine tailed in reality the average rank for a demon fox was between 7 and 10 tails however most life time members of the ruling government council were between 13 and 15 tailed. They were among the most power demons alive only the leaders of the other villages where equal to these select few demon.

"Yes, father." answered Kabo as the nine tailed fox who had spent almost twenty years residing inside Naruto walked beside his father, Malik.

"What have you learned from the humans?" asked Malik

"What you expect." said Kado as the two of them walked around the large outdoor garden. For a moment the elder fox stopped as he tossed some bread into the large pound as the ducks instantly rushed toward the spot to get the bread before it sank down and became fish food. "The humans are narrowed minded and rash. They believed Naruto to be a demon and tortured him for that."

"Is that why you sent Naruto to his pack's home instead of following protocol and having him turn at the center?" asked Malik

"There was no need to keep him away from his family." said Kado "Besides they can help him understand what is going on better then a group of doctors."

"And what of the vixen….Sakura is it?" asked Malik

"Yes….I felt that they should go through this together since they were teammates and I know for a fact Naruto wants to mate with her and I believe she wants him." said Kado "So I tried to push that forward."

"I see…." said Malik

"Did I do something wrong father?" asked Kado

"No…"laughed the elder Malik "Just next time ask before you do something like that."

"I will father." said Kado

"So any luck in giving me a grandkit?" asked Malik

"Father the only got back yesterday after a twenty years assignment every since I replaced the demon fox who was inside Kushina Namikaze." said Kado

"You took time away when the human believed you where still sealed within him." stated Malik

"Only an hour or two away." explained Kado as he looked across the garden to see Talia walk down a side exit before heading downstairs toward their living quarters. He took a deep breath as he wonder how he was going to make up for the years apart from her and his threat to her student Adria to send her brother to a different demon race.

"Besides Adria isn't that happy with me at the moment." said Kado "Besides you know it is unlikely we can have kits, the tests say we are both fertile but it hasn't happened for us yet."

"I wouldn't be so sure." said Malik 'Your mom was pregnant with you when the gas came so you may be fertile and Talia had similar situation being born only a few hours after the gas disperses."

"We have been married for ten million years and we have yet to have a kit." said Kado

"We didn't have your older brother until 11 years into our mating." said Malik as he looked toward a large stone door. Kado knew that behind that door was a path that lead to the crypt where all the members of his pack were laid to rest, his mother along with his four brothers and his only sister lied at rest.

"Don't count it out." said Malik "Some of the demons who fought in the war and add direct contact with the gas have had kits."

"Father the odds are against us, that is why we are taking the humans so our race will live." Said Kado

"Who does it hurt to try." laughed Malik

"No one." laughed Kado "So the grand council meeting is tomorrow correct?"

"Correct." said Malik "They will want to know how we plan to deal with the leak caused by little Adria."

"Like I told Jabr we have planned ahead." Said Kado

"Please reminded me son….sometimes my memory fades in my old age." Said Malik

"Father please you are only 76 million you have years in front of you." Said Kado

"Son, I have less time in front of me then I do behind me." said Malik "Please don't act like I couldn't die tonight or any day."

"Sorry Father." said Kado "It is just hard for me to think about losing you."

"Son, you are the last member of the main household of the demon foxes our ancestry can be traced to the founding 12 demon foxes who's rebellion against the wolves lead to our war and winning of independence. " said Malik "It is your duty to carry on our line."

"I know father." Answered Kado "Now as for how we plan to take care of the humans knowing, we have had a plan for this ever since Adria started showing more and more human leanings."

"I will never understand why she is so focused on humanity." said Malik

"Her parents where human." said Kado "And so is here oldest brother."

"But her younger brother has fallen in line with our line of thinking." said Malik as the father and son walked around the garden some more.

'According to Talia that may be because unlike Adria who has no demon friends Seth is friends with everyone in his class." said Kado

"Why is that?" asked Malik

"Unknown….they all make fun of humans and see them as a lower race." said Kado

"Don't you?" asked Malik as his son took a deep breath.

"I see them as a lower race but it isn't there fault." Said Kado "And if we can help them by turning them demon then we should but once they are a demon they are no different than any of us. If we divided the demon foxes up then how are we different then the wolves who treated us like second class citizens when we were under their rule."

"I see." said Malik as he placed his hand under his chin "And our people make fun of turned humans so much that it drove Adria to side with humanity over her own kind?"

"Possibly." said Kado

"That is a mistake, we need to settle this issue so we don't isolate any of the fleshly turned humans when they arrive in a few weeks." said Malik

"I thought we were going to launch our attack in just over a week?" asked Kado

"We where but some issues have a raisin." explained Malik "Don't worry it has nothing to do with Adria's mistake. One of the batches of transforming agent was mixed wrong so we have to make another one."

"I see….when do you leave for the high council meeting?" asked Kado

"Within the hour." answered Malik "I am not looking forward to sharing a room with all those old demons."

"Father you are one of those old demons." laughed Kado

In the village hidden in the leaf Ino along with Sai, Temari, Shikamaru and Choji sat around a table at the BBQ pork stand.

"So this person claimed to be Naruto's sister and his parents never died?" asked Sai

"Yes, and they want to turn humans into demons because of some war they raged millions of years ago." added Ino

"I find that hard to believe." said Choji

"I saw her turn into her demon form before my very eyes." Yelled Ino as everyone in the stand looked at her after a moment everyone looked away as they went back to their own meals and conversation.

"I am not saying you're wrong Ino, but could it have been a genjustu of some kind?" asked Choji

"It wasn't." said Ino "Besides what about the DNA….it was a sibling match to Naruto and a parentally match to Minato and Kushina Namikaze."

"Kabuto was doing a lot of experiments involving demons and Naruto near the end of the war, she could have been made by him.' said Choji

"How would he do that?" asked Sai

"I don't know….but it is more likely then fifteen demon races come after us to turn us into them." Said Choji

"Choji you are an idiot." said Ino

"It is hard to believe." said Sai as Ino glared at him "However even if you don't believe it, the very threat needs to be taken serious. Naruto and Sakura are already missing."

"That I can't explain as well." said Choji before looking at Shikamaru and Temari. "What do you two think?"

"I mean the odds that everything Adria said being true is so unlikely." said Temari

"However the fact that we don't know everything about the demons we contained within people is for sure." added Shikamaru as he took a deep breath "So is it unlikely that demons are coming to turn us into them but is it out of the realm of possibilities no."

"Thanks for taking the middle road Shikamaru." said Ino "You saw the girl and where there when they read the DNA report."

"I know…and that makes me want to believe it more then not but the average person will want more proof then just our word." said Shikamaru

"The world just got out of a war that lasted almost four years." said Temari "That means they will not want to believe that another war is coming their way."

"But it is." said Ino "Adria said it was only a week away."

"Then we better prepare." said Sai as Ino looked at him. "It never hurts to be prepared."

"Thank you." said Ino as she placed her hand on top of Sai's.

It was shortly before super when Sakura opened her eyes again, maybe it was the fact her stomach was growling or maybe it was fact her monster head ache was lifting that she forced herself to her feet. Her first stop was the attached bathroom to take care of some business. After that was done she looked at herself in the mirror, everything seemed normal her hair was the same length all her teeth where the same and her eyes hadn't become silted but she knew something was wrong.

'What is it?" asked Inner Sakura as Sakura just looked at herself, her cloths where wrinkled since she had slept in them and she looked like she needed a good night sleep.

"Nothing." answered Sakura as she ran her hands under the water before washing her face and running her hand though her hair. "Just need a long hot shower."

"Well there is a shower right there." Answered Inner Sakura only to have stomach growl almost as loud as Naruto's stomach on buy one get one free at Ichiraku's Ramen stand. "Well I guess a meal would be a good thing to have before a shower."

Sakura turned off the water as she walked out of the bathroom and headed toward the door. What greeted her was something that seemed so strange a normal looking room. The first thing she saw was a large river stone fireplace with a wooden mantel piece. Above the mantle was a large family portrait showing a large male blonde fox standing beside a female red fox with a younger female fox Sakura recognized as Adria to the older woman's right. In the middle between his parents stood a younger male black fox which looked a lot like the older male in fact without much changes they both looked a lot like Naruto. Sakura looked down to the photos that lined the mantle itself. There where photos that if you took away the fact they where foxes would be on any parent's wall. Kids first day of school, a picture of the parents and there in the center was three photos of Naruto. Slowly Sakura walked forward until she could see the photo's better. The first one was of Naruto just sitting in class when they where only ten or so, in fact Sakura could make out the herself in the background of the photo her face looking down at the school book. The next photo was of Naruto just after he had returned to the leaf from his training with Jiriaya; he was standing on top of the telephone pole just like when Sakura welcomed him back to the leaf. The final photo was clearly taken in the field during the war against the Akatsuki. Naruto held a map in his hand as he and Shikamaru looked it over, his black jonnin uniform and the rain which was falling meant that it was more than likely around the time of the second assault on the Runo Bridge between lightening and fire country which took place almost two years ago.

"So you're up." said a voice as Sakura turned her head toward the sound to see someone who she wouldn't have believed to be alive standing Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze.

"Yes." answered Sakura as she looked where she was standing, to her left was a rather large kitchen with an island in the center, out from there was a six piece table. "Hello Mrs. Namikaze."

Kushina looked at the young woman standing in her living room, she was clearly a kunoichi just by how she carried herself meant she had training in combat. Unknowingly she had her hand around her side where the average kunioichi kept her weapon pack, which meant she could always pull a weapon. Add that to the fact that she was extremely fit and the scar on her arm which probably came from a kunai.

"Hello." Answered Kushina back as she started cutting up some chicken.

"Why is she so cold?" though Sakura

"Maybe because she doesn't know us." answered Inner Sakura

"Your name is Sakura correct?" asked Kushina as Sakura stepped up onto the raised kitchen.

"Yes Sakura Haruno, I am have been your son's teammate ever since we were genin." answered Sakura as the water in a large bowel began to boil.

"I see." said Kushina as she started draining the water showing freshly cooked homemade noodles. "Can you hand me the garlic powder."

Sakura looked to see the spice rack in front of her right next to the bowl full of fruit.

"Here." answered Sakura as she looked around the kitchen; Kushina had five or six different things cooking. "Can I ask what you are cooking?"

"You know maybe you can help me." said Kushina

"Oh course." said Sakura

"This is the first meal I get to cook for my boy and I can't decide what to cook." said Kushina "Adria told me he likes Ramen but she couldn't remember anything else. Do you know what he likes?"

"Miso Ramen with roosted pork, with red bean soup on the side with freshly cooked buttered bread with iced tea to drink.' answered Sakura off the top of her head "He is also a fan of BBQ chicken and apart from peas he hates vegetables. He loves orange sherbet and spice cakes with caramel icing "

Kushina blinked as she looked at the girl.

"How could you know all that?" asked Kushina "I didn't know my teammates favorite meals when I was your age."

"I have been his teammate for a long time." answered Sakura as she looked down "Also he and I have been though a lot more than just your average teams. Our first teammate Sasuke's betrayal to the leaf, the Akatsuki attacks and then the war."

"I see." said Kushina as Sakura's stomach growled. "Take some of the fruit."

"Thanks." said Sakura as she took an apple from the bowel. "How is Naruto doing?"

"As well as can be expected." explained Kushina "Adria and Minato are with him at the moment, waiting for him to wake up."

"He is out?" asked Sakura

"Ya, when the human chakra gets consumed by demon chakra it tends to knock a person out." explained Kushina as she pulled some pork from the fridge.

"You have a really lovely home." said Sakura

"Thanks." said Kushina

"It seems strangely human." added Sakura

"Well that is partly true, we made it that way and the demons have taken some of the items from the human world." said Kushina "However they would never admit that. You do know why they sent you here?"

"Adria said they want me to marry Naruto." said Sakura as she noticed Kushina looking right at her with her own blue eyes.

"And how does that make you feel?" asked Kushina

"Fuck I am already being grilled by her?" thought Sakura as she took a deep breath.

"To be honest, when I was a kid I had a crush on someone else but over time my heart changed." Said Sakura "Naruto is more than my teammate, he is probably my best male friend and I have wanted to ask him out for a while."

"I see." said Kushina "So what would you want for supper."

'I don't want to burden you." Said Sakura

"Nonsense, I swear cooking is the only thing that is keeping my nerves good at the moment." Said Kushina as she smiled as her eyes watered "It's our first dinner as a family, it has to be perfect."

"I don't want to mess up your first dinner as a family, I'll eat in the bedroom." said Sakura "This dinner should be between your family, I am but a guest."

"No….Naruto will be confused maybe having you there will calm him down." said Kushina

"Probably." answered Sakura as Kushina turned around to work on her food "Can I ask you a question?"

"You already did…" laughed Kushina in a way which was strangely like Naruto "But feel free to ask another."

"What is going to happen to us?" asked Sakura as Kushina stopped laughing "I mean Adria explained that they are turning us into demons but never what it is like."

"Everyone's is different." explained Kushina "It started with small changes for me, extra hair, my toes turning into claws as my big toe moving to become a dir claw. With Minato it was bigger changes at first, his chakra turning and his tails forming but it all ends in the same place….a demon fox."

"I see." said Sakura

"Naruto will go though the same thing we did, however you have a different drug generation in you." said Kushina "Kado said you had fourth generation drug."

"Kado?" asked Sakura

"The Kyuubi which was sealed within my son." explained Kushina "He dropped you two off."

"I see." said Sakura "And this generation drug is different how?"

"Faster." answered Kushina "he said you have around five days while Naruto has seven or ten."

"I see." said Sakura

"And your mind may change." said Kushina

"How so?" asked Sakura

"I am not a doctor so I can't explain it but it has something to do with pleasure centers of the brain and some hormone so people like the turn and don't fight." explained Kushina

"I see." said Sakura

"Why don't you freshen up super will be in an hour." said Kushina

"Thanks but I don't have anything to change into." said Sakura

'Yes, you do." explained Kushina as she looked toward the front door to see two duffle bags "Kado brought some stuff for you and some stuff for my son."

"Did he break into my apartment or something?" asked Sakura

"Probably." answered Kushina as Sakura picked up her stuff before going to freshen up.

Well Sakura meets Kushina, I hoped you liked it. Now I would like to thank everyone who reviewed and I ask that you keep on reading. Thanks Wilkins75
