Chapter 19 A New Plan
Once again the joint meeting room of the demon nations was full as the demon races came together once again.
"So why are we hear?" asked Malik as the demon fox representative sat down in his chair.
"We are here because Queen Adeer of the Demon Ants called this meeting." stated the tiger Vachan
"We also need to hear a report about the transformation of the humans from Orochimaru." stated Val
"First let's hear from Adeer." Stated the young crowned Prince of the Demon Cats Gamba
"It will be better if I wait until we hear the report from the snakes." Stated Adeer
"Very well." stated Gamba as he looked toward Val "Is Orochimaru ready to come before us?"
The Supreme Chancellor of the demon Snakes opened the door located behind him, almost instantly an almost pure white demon snake slithered into the room a single pure black strip ran down his back splitting apart around the cobra hood that covered the back of his neck and shoulders. His amber silted eyes the same he had as a human looked out around the room.
"Good day Demon Lords." stated the former sannin Orochimaru, he had been transformed using the third generation drug but he had embraced his demon hood so much that he was among the most trusted turned humans and head of medical research for the demon snakes. "I come with good news; the brewing of the transformation agent is ahead of schedule."
"What of the humans taken from the Samurai village?" asked the President of the Grand Herd of the demon horses Achak.
"They have just been sorted and being transformed as per the chooses of your aids." stated Orochimaru "5,610 humans where taken of those 3,160 where males and 2,450 where females. Of those 341 was determined to be too old to be transformed and where removed. There was five hundred children under the age of 12."
"Why where so few humans taken, that village had over 10,000 people in it." said Caden "That is over four thousand humans unaccounted for."
"Those are because we were not ready we strike originally with only four demons and later with a force of just under a hundred." stated Val "The Samurai put up a good fight buying time for their people to escape."
"So are they being transformed?" asked Gamba
"Most are a few have had holds placed on them." stated Orochimaru "And where placed in the center holding area."
"Holds?" asked the Grand Elder of the demon Bears, Kenadia
"Those humans who have high enough chakra levels or skills to qualify to be handpicked by you and those humans who are pregnant." stated Orochimaru
"Why not turn them right away like the others?" asked Gamba
"Because of the ten women we tested the transformation on while they where pregnant in all the cases the child died and half the woman died themselves." explained Orochimaru as the other leaders nodded their heads "We have held some humans for years why not hold them until they give birth and then we have two people to turn."
"Very well." said Caden
"Orochimaru I thank you for your services you are dismissed." stated Gamba
"Actually I have a question for him." stated the Queen of the Ants Adeer as she turned to look at Orochimaru "How many humans can we turn with the supplies we have?"
"We can turn three out of the five major ninja villages but none of the smaller or none ninja villages." Stated Orochimaru
"What about cleaning an entire country?" asked Adeer "Taking over the small and large villages."
"Depending the countries maybe one of the major nation and two or three of the smaller ones." stated Orochimaru
"What are you getting too Adeer?" asked Malik
"We need to transform the humans now….we can't possibly wait any longer, just last night one of our four remaining breeder queens died." stated Malik "If we lose any more we will no longer have enough to truly carry one our race."
"There where several females taken you could turn them into breeding queens." stated Val
"Not many females humans are the special protein in their bodies that would allow them to be used as breeding queens." stated Adeer "Only one in every thousand females can be used as breeding queens."
"So what do you want us to do, we can't take out all the ninja nations in one massive attack like we planned." Stated the demon panther and one of the most feared demons in the world Padak
"We only came up with that plan so that the humans couldn't develop a plan to fight back against us before we took them." stated Adeer "The Humans know about us now so that is now pointless."
"You want us to strike now?" asked Kenadia
"Yes, we take over one of the major nations and some of the smaller nations, turn them before moving on to the next nation." stated Adeer
"Ok say we do follow your idea which nation do we start with?" asked Gamba
"We can decide that but will you carry out the attacks." asked Adeer
"I am tired of waiting we should strike sooner rather than later." stated Val
"I can't believe I am agreeing with a snake." laughed Caden
"I would like to do some more detailed planning about which area to hit first but we can agree in principle." stated Malik
"I think we should do some more planning since we are changing the plan so quickly." said Kenadia as Achak nodded his head in agreement.
"It is your call my Prince." said Padak as the panther war hero looked at his young prince.
"Vachan." said Prince Gamba
"Yes, my Prince." said the white tiger in charge of the royal guard, Vachan.
"Assemble the Army." ordered Gamba
Meanwhile in the Leaf village Tsunade was looking at the medical reports from the file Itachi had thrown her while they were in Iron Country. Sadly the medical information was spotty and seemed more like medical theory then actual data.
"Any information Lady Tsunade?" asked Shizune as she entered the room with a fresh cup of coffee and some breakfast.
"Nothing much more then what we discovered the other day.' stated Tsunade "No information on the formal of the transformation agent only that is it is activated by the introduction of live demon chakra."
"Wait how can they add chakra into another chakra network." asked Shizune "Chakra devolves extremely fast outside the body, it takes a lot of control to control it outside of the body."
"They found a way to contain it outside the body." stated Tsunade as she read the scroll "The demon chakra sets the mold and the transformation agent starts a chain reaction which transforms the human chakra into demon chakra and rewrites the very DNA of the person. In a way it is almost as if they are being reborn as a demon because once the process is done they are 100% genetically demon."
"So Naruto and Sakura are likely demon?" asked Shizune
"They will be unless we can do something." stated Tsunade "Sakura may already be out of time."
"They have been gone only four days, surly turning a human into a totally different race can't take that little of time." stated Shizune
"If Itachi's report is to believed, the first people to be turned without dying was Minato and Kushina Namikaze." stated Tsunade "Every generation of drug after that works faster and has more effect on a person's mind. The latest version turns within 48 hours."
"My God." stated Shizune
"Have you sent copies of everything to the other nations?" asked Tsunade
"Yes, I sent the fastest Hawks we have to them." answered Shizune "I didn't send them copies of Shikamaru's plan only that we are currently developing a plan or the list of people from the Leaf who may have been turned."
"Good." said Tsunade in a flat tone.
"Lady Tsunade, I think you have to talk about this." said Shizune
"About what?" asked Tsunade
"The fact that Jiriaya is on the list of people they wanted turn from the Leaf, just like you are on the list." stated Shizune
"It also says in this report that once a person reaches the age that they can't have kids or are unable to have kids they don't get turned." stated Tsunade "So Jiriaya is dead."
"It also says that those people with skills or are powerful they turn." stated Shizune "Jiriaya could still be alive. They turned Orochimaru and he died around the same time as Jiriaya."
"I know." whispered Tsunade as she tried not to think that the demons may have taken not only Sakura and Naruto who she considered her children from her but Jiriaya too.
In the demon Fox village Sakura walked up the stairs of the Namikaze compound only to see Kushina Namikaze sitting with her back to the staircase with a book in her hand.
"Morning." said Kushina as she closed her book and stood up before actually seeing who was standing there. "More changes Sakura?"
"Ya." answered Sakura as she looked at herself "It's strange I mean I know I am nude but I don't feel Nude."
"As much as I hate to say it I understand what you mean, if you don't think about it you fail to realize it." Said Kushina
"Where is everyone?" asked Sakura
"Work and training." answered Kushina "I am actually suppose to go teach some of the younger students today."
"I see." said Sakura "I really want to thank you."
"For what?" asked Kushina
"I mean I have been a guest in your house for days and haven't done anything to help." Said Sakura
"Well you can cook a meal if you want, Tuesdays is the day Minato cooks and let's just say his skills are lacking." said Kushina "Normally it is something he could make in the field."
"Well…." said Sakura as she placed her hand behind her head "I am not that good of cook."
"You can't be worst then Minato." laughed Kushina
"I wouldn't be so sure about that." said Sakura "My own mom said hospital food is better than my cooking. I one time caught an egg on fire."
"I can do it." said a new voice as a shirtless but mostly fur covered Naruto only part of his front still had pink human flesh.
"The fur under the cloths drove you up the wall didn't it?" asked Sakura
"Yes." answered Naruto "I don't know how you dealt with it as long."
"Well it wasn't easy." answered Sakura
"Well I better get going." said Kushina "Everyone should be back around four today."
"Alright." said Naruto
"Oh Sakura, Seth picked this up for you." said Kushina as she picked up a rather large book "It is full of medical information about the demons."
"Why would he do that?" asked Naruto
"He did say I could work at the hospital once I learn demon medical information." answered Sakura
"It may also help us escape." added Kushina as Naruto looked at his mother "Did you really think you and Sakura where the only ones going. We are all going even if we have to knock out Seth to bring him to the Leaf."
"Alright." said Naruto as his mother left the house and headed toward her work at the Academy. "Sakura why don't you start studying their medical stuff, while I study the map to get us out of here."
"Why?" asked Sakura
"Because when we get back to the Leaf we will need to fight back against the demons and that involves knowing everything we can about them." explained Naruto as Sakura nodded her head as she sat down on the couch and started reading the medical text book.
Back in the Leaf village it was just after lunch when Ino Yamanaka walked toward the Hokage building. The crowded around the giant red building was growing fast as word that the Hokage was going to make a speech. As she pushed her way through the crowd she finally spotted the person she wanted to see, he was dressed in black with a grey strip on his front and back. His Tanto blade was hanging on his back.
"Sai." said Ino as she moved toward her boyfriend.
"I am glad you made it Ino." said Sai as the once cold emotionless man smiled at Ino. She didn't exactly know why she loved Sai as much as she did. He had become more emotional during the years with team seven and the war but to a lot of people he seemed cold, maybe it was because Sai was a very private man and kept his feelings to only a few people and of those Ino was the most trusted. "How is Sakura's mom?"
"Not well, Sakura is the only person she really has." said Ino "She also didn't like the fact that I couldn't tell her about you know what."
"Well looks like the entire village will know about it soon." said Ino as the 5th Hokage Lady Tsunade walked out on top of the Hokage Building. It was the same spot where she had made her first public appearance as the Hokage.
"People of Konohagakure as your Hokage I am sworn to protect the people and the spirit of this village. It is with a that idea in mind that I must inform you of a new threat which has arisen to threaten not only our village but the rest of the ninja village and humanity itself." stated Tsunade though the load speakers as everyone looked at her. "An enemy we are facing is one that have been spying on us and pulling strings behind the scenes for years. We are fighting demons."
Instantly the crowed broke out into talk as everyone questioned what the Hokage was talking about.
"We have learned that a the demons we all know as the tailed beasts where faked and in fact there are demon races which populate their own world and now they are coming after us." said Tsunade "However they are not trying to kill us, instead they are trying to turn humans into demons to repopulate their world after a long war."
The talk was growing loader as people kept talking about the news.
"The demons have already taken some people including people we believed to have been killed. They were replaced with clones to make us believe they had died." stated Tsunade "Among those taken years ago was none other than my predecessor Minato Namikaze the 4th Hokage."
Instantly the crowed broke out into load talking people were stunned at the news that the forth Hokage was not only alive but taken by demons.
"The demons hoped to attack us unaware but thanks to a handful of demons including the second child of the 4th Hokage Adria Namikaze we know that they are coming and we will be able to prepare to defend our way of life." stated Tsunade
"Don't worry Naruto will save us." yelled a voice from the crowed as the entire crowed cheered as Tsunade lowered her head.
"The demons have already struck; they have taken out the Samurai village in Iron country and captured two of our ninjas Sakura Haruno and Naruto Namikaze." Stated Tsunade as the cheer died out fast people now looked afraid. "We may have lost some people before we knew who we were dealing with but now we know who we are dealing with and no matter what happens the spirit of the leaf and the will of fire will be victorious."
It was around super time as Sakura sat looking over the medical book with every turn of the page she learned more. She had started with the demon foxes and had moved on to wolves, lions, panthers and tigers. She still had the other races to go but she could see a pattern appearing. It was actually strange how slimier humans where to demons, same general organ function and placement. There were some slight differences; the bone density of a demon was slightly higher than human meaning that bones were harder to break. There where extra muscles to move tails and when it came to females, a small group of muscles that acted like a natural bra to stop their breast from jumping around too much as they run. Those where the general traits with each demon race having slight variation on each, foxes where more flexible then wolves but the cats had stronger bone density.
"Found anything?" asked Naruto
"I can see why the demons would pick to humans to turn, we are very slimier." explained Sakura as she felt Naruto move closer to her "But I haven't gotten to snakes and ants, those will probably be very different."
'Any idea on how to change us back?" whispered Naruto
'Not yet." answered Sakura "This only gives a description of the transformation but not any detail on the formula of this transformation agent without a detail study of that I can't even start to plan a way to turn us back."
"Why would we want to change back?" thought Inner Sakura "We are a sexy vixen, we have Naruto-kun and hopefully Hinata ends up something other than a vixen so we don't have to deal with her trying to go after our Naruto-kun."
"I wonder where everyone is?" asked Naruto as he looked at the clock by now they would be sitting down to eat but yet no one was home.
"I don't know." Answered Sakura as the door opened as Seth walked into the house, he was smiling.
"Seth where is everyone?" asked Naruto
'Well they aren't going to be home tonight and probably not until late tomorrow night." said Seth with a smile.
"Why?" asked Sakura
"The army is gathering and will launch an attack on the human world soon." said Seth as Naruto and Sakura looked at him "The war against the humans is about to begin."
"Who are they attacking?" asked Naruto
"One of the major villages and some of the smaller villages." stated Seth "I just wish I was old enough to go."
"Which village?" asked Sakura as Seth smiled as he noticed how much Sakura had turned so that she was more fox then human and his older brother was looking like a fox "I don't know but maybe once you both finish turning you can join them, helping turn the humans into demons."
Well I hope you liked this chapter and the conversation between demons on the council. The attack on the human world is about to begin. I would like to thank everyone who reviewed and I ask that you keep on reading. Thanks Wilkins75.
