Disclaimer: I own nothing except the idea, Naruto is owned by Masashi Kishimoto, if there are resemblances to other stories they will either be credited or it is unintentional.

Note: I'm stating this again none of team seven will be paired with each other, neither will Hinata with one of the three. That is for this fic, I may try a slash (or gender-bender that'll probably be male to female) in the future, however if I do expect it to be girls, not because I'm a pervert, but because my first fanfiction "show" was Kim Possible, my favorite 2 are Kim and Shego, and a lot of those were slash so I've read more. I've only read like 2 or 3 male slash.

Oh, more personal team/family building will be after this mission. This is more like explaining how their different, after they get back while home and on the next 4 or 5 missions they'll be in before the Chunnin exams, there will be more interaction especially, but it''

Thanks for all the reviews sent and any ideas given.

(In story author note)

The three stared at the Sasoriza boss, then the younger two looked at Naruto and Sasuke deadpanned "this is your fault Aniki, I don't know how or why, but it is."

Why was Sasuke blaming Naruto? Well there was a 100 foot tall scorpion boss in front of them, while about 30 feet smaller than the Kyuubi, it was still massive. Naruto asked indignantly "How is this my fault?" Orion, the boss watched in amusement, he had just told the three he was gonna kill them sense he didn't think they were worthy and then they stared to argue like children. Sakura watched and had to agree with Naruto, Kaka-sensei had made them practice summoning, and with their chakra size and control summoning the boss had been inevitable.

"So can I kill you know or not?" asked Orion, which got him a resounding "HANG ON" from the 2 boys, causing the boss and Sakura to both sweat drop. After a moment the 2 were done and looking at Orion, who had introduced himself when summoned, Naruto nodded. "OK then" he then shot one of his claws at the three, about to chop the three in half faster than they could react. He carefully watched them to judge them.

The three showed nothing but cold determination. Sasuke said "Not a hit on the back" and Sakura said "I'm not a coward" Naruto said "I didn't turn." This gained them the bosses respect; they were fine with death, just not a coward's death. His claw hit the ground and stopped less than half an inch away from the young trio. "Ok than, you three can be my new summoners, will you three introduce yourselves?" asked the oddly polite scorpion. After a few moments there was three shouts of "NANI?!" [What]

The boss sighed (how, fuck if I know, the same way he sweat dropped) and said "My clan, the Sasoriza, Are known to be connected to death; we deliver it swiftly and mercilessly. Our summoners must be able to deliver it, withstand it, and face it. The looks you 3 have tell me you can deliver it, the loss you've experienced tells me you can withstand it, the fact that your only concerns in death were each other and to not die as cowards tells me you can withstand it. With time I'll start to teach you collaboration jutsu, but for now get stronger on your own, I know you can even if we have just met."

And with that and a poof of smoke, Orion was gone.

When the three got back they immediately berated Kakashi, with Naruto trying to rip him apart (literally grab his head and yank up until it comes off with a bloody RIIIIIIIIP) Sasuke was trying to impale him and Sakura was trying to electrocute him. After almost three hours, a good exercise for all three, Kakashi was getting more endurance the longer he spent with the three, before they relaxed and went in for dinner.

Naruto looked at Kakashi and said "I'll need your help for the morning training tomorrow." Kakashi nodded.

The next morning the Tasatsu family was in the clearing they practiced their resistance. However there was no animal, rabbit or dear, nor a person something both Sakura and Sasuke were waiting for, both fearing and anticipating that day. They needed human blood to survive they had been told.

Naruto took a deep breath and said "O.K. we've practiced resisting, now were going to practice giving in." This got confused looks from the other three. "To explain let me ask Sasuke a question, which of us is fast?" "You" Came his confused response. "O.K., then why do I have so much trouble keeping you away from blood in resistance?"

The three looked at him in confusion, the other 2 Tasatsu were always to inwardly focused and Kakashi had never watched the whole training session. Shaking his head the blond explained "You often see me kinda bruised and battered afterwards, why? I'm physically better and you 2 can't think straight, so how am I always injured, even with our advanced healing rate?" None of the 3 had an idea.

Sighing he said "whatever come with me" and Shinobi hopped away, the other three quickly followed. After about 3 minutes going at Sakura's speed (Kakashi is only slightly slower than the boys) they all arrived at a clearing. The clearing was filled with deer and the Tasatsu family could hear Kurama laughing in the background, but shrugged it off, well Naruto did and the other 2 ignored it.

Naruto spoke after a moment "since now you've been resisting, now you're giving in. this time watch me and do what you want, don't resist, don't try for control, just do what you want and follow me."

Before the other 3 could comment he leapt away, towards the deer. None of them could see it, but his one tomeo'd red eyes were clearly visible, his teeth elongated so all his teeth were fangs, not just the canines, his marks darkened, as did his hair stripes.. As he landed his right hand leapt up, and the deer closest to him had its head cut off and the deer on the other side got grabbed on the head and base of the neck, he pulled and it literally ripped off with a wet tear.

The other 2 Tasatsu siblings froze in shock and instinctively tensed, trying to hold themselves back. Then they remembered Naruto's words and with a slight hesitation jumped forward red eyes shining with a sadistic delight, far too many fangs in mad smiles stretching across their faces, their hair stripes darkened. The three killed about 28 out of the 32 deer in the clearing, never once actually feeding, then when they were all dead in brutal ways the drank their fill out of the corpses. Kakashi watched in fascination, if he was anyone else it would be horror but he had been through a Shinobi war and 2 rampaging bijuu attacks, there were body PARTS everywhere. Heads, limbs, and torso parts, ripped off (Naruto), torn out (Sasuke), and cut up (Sakura) the whole thing took maybe 5 minutes, and only because they played with the prey, and after wards it was almost worse. It looked the same, blood and body parts everywhere, but all the bodies looked slightly like mummies, drained dry by the 3 siblings.

Kakashi jumped down as the three calmed down, the signs noticeable. Their hair calmed down, it wasn't as wild and the stripes less noticeable, their regular teeth/fang combo is back, their eyes normal, and Naruto's whiskers were back down. The younger 2 also got progressively paler and Sakura started muttering "Oh my kami" [kami-god] over and over again, interrupted by her still present growls.

After a moment Naruto, the fastest recover-er, went over to Sakura, threw his arm over her shoulder, and hugged her close, not even speaking. Kakashi soon followed suit and, kneeling, put a hand on Sasuke's closes shoulder.

Then Naruto spoke, quite, calming, brotherly, barely loud enough for the other three to hear him "It's hard isn't it? The power to kill, to kill easily and to kill for fun first and food second?" Kakashi took this as a cue as he also had something to say as well "It's horrible isn't it, not the killing, not the pain, not even how easy it becomes. But how fun it becomes." The three kid looked at him, hope and pain propionate on their faces, even Naruto's. So he continued "After a while, speeded up by your Chi Ni ueru koto, but after a while you have to cope. How do you cope? Adrenalin it's why Shinobi often become sport junkies, trying to get back that thrill. Adrenalin is fun, and it pumps when you kill, it makes killing fun."He shook his head and finished "That's OK, just don't let it consume you, this power might help you, then I say use it, anything to help my little genin to survive, just know when to and when not to."

He moved so Sasuke and Sakura were right next to each other and Naruto was close by, he raised his hands and basically gave the siblings a group hug. Sasuke said "I'll always be there, for both my brother and sister." And he gave a small, shaky smile. The Sakura, completely in tears by this point said "Thank you Naruto-aniki, Sasuke-otouto, Kakashi-ossan, thank you three so much." [ossan-uncle] Kakashi's eye went wide in surprise, then with a small eye-smile he whispered just so the three could hear it "you three are mine, and nothing will ever change that." And even he shed a few tears.

Naruto got out "it doesn't get better, but it won't get harder." And Kakashi said "I think the rest of the day off will be good."

And for the rest of the day the 4, who barely knew each other 3 weeks ago, now the closest of families, cried. They cried for their families dead, (Rin, Obito, their dads and moms) they cried for each other and all they had been through, they cried for their own innocence lost, but mostly they cried because for the first time they could, with each other, and with no judgment. By the time dinner was almost ready the family had never felt happier, to just get it all off their chests, to share and to know honest love, something none of them knew about, even Sakura's families love came with conditions, and to just be together. None of them had been happier and they would make sure nothing tore them apart.

In his cage, even Kurama shed a few tears for his own pain, the pain of his three kits, and by the end even he felt better. The Tasatsu family, comprised of a temperamental demon, a young silver haired veteran, an abused blond, an abandon raven haired boy, and an emotional pinkette. They stood tall, happy, together, and they would adapt, to blood, to drinking it and spilling it, to death and there part in it, to pain and both their cause of it and their intake of it, to stay together.

Nothing and no one would change that.

(I wanted to end it here, it's such a good place, but this is only the fourth page and I'm trying to always have at least 6 in all chapters except the first few in a new story, if this chapter takes a while to get out it's because of this, I feel like I'm making 2 separate chapters.)

For the next 4 days the family fell into a routine. In the mornings they would practice resistance, they'd break for lunch, work on their summon collaborations until about 3, take the next 3 hours for element manipulation and physical work on styles, limits, work outs, so on. Then they'd have dinner; take another 2 hours for more element manipulation and jutsu's. Finally they (*cough*Kurama*cough*) found a way for Kakashi to talk into their combined mindscape, and they 5 would talk about stories, either memories, good and bad, or make them up. The demon and veteran got along surprisingly well, actually Kurama got along with all of them on good terms, something they were all grateful for. They would do this until well into the night and drop off to sleep one by one. They would start again the next day.

With one week left until Zabuza and whatever backup he had came to meet them, the youngest 2 Tasatsu felt unusually weak, when they told this to the other three however Kurama was silent, Kakashi looked puzzled, and Naruto sighed sadly. He said "Well I guess it's time, I'll send a Suriru [thrill, excitement, bang, titillation, wallop, tingle] so you know where to meet. With that he left.

About an hour later the 2 Tasatsu kid's felt a tingle in their heads, telling them where Naruto was, they also knew to be quite. They told Kakashi and the three left. They arrived at a tree over a bunch of thug. Worried Sakura whispered "Why are we here?" Naruto answered "Know it is time to prove it, prove our name Tasatsu and the title blood drinker." The other three looked at him.

He explained "Normally I'd wait longer, but you are getting weaker, weaker because you haven't had blood, human blood, yet. This is your first true test. You must have enough resistance to maintain sense, but lose yourself enough to taunt, kill, maim, torture, and EAT your opponent… Let's get started." After a moment the other 2 nodded and the three disappeared.

They appeared like ghosts, fangs showing, red eyes bright, and weapons ready.

Naruto started laughing and taunting his victims, first calling them weak, then picking them off, slowly, one by one, draining them dry. As the others could do nothing but helplessly watch, he taunted them and their uselessness.

Sakura, the one who would have been pegged as the queasiest, of the three was laughing and torturing here victims. She would appear, stick the scythe into them in the most painful way she could while they still bled out slowly, then she'd jump back, do this to a few others, and just as you were fading, she'd appear again, and slice off each of their limbs, leaving their heads so they could scream one last time. The worst part? After she drank her first victim she stopped laughing, and started giggling, an innocent, high pitched school girl giggle. Red eyes and fangs flashing in sadistic pleasure.

Sasuke was the cleanest; he'd appear, pierce with his weapons, drag the victim away and drink simultaneously, and then jump back in for the next one.

The whole process took maybe 10 minutes, and only because they played, and Kakashi just read his smut, glancing up at his gaki's [gaki-brat] progress and noting down their techniques. When they were done he jumped down and asked "You all better now?" Naruto nodded grinning an evil smile. Sakura had a grin of a sadist who just had a fix. Sasuke smirked and nodded. All three still had red eyes and fangs.

After that the three slept for the rest of the day and Kakashi was content to let them.

The next 5 days were like the other 4. On the last day the three were told to rest. The day after Zabuza would appear and they would all be ready.

So what did ya think? As usual, read, review, give me suggestions, and thanks to all of those who have already done so. If you enjoyed it follow the story and me. Until next time, stay awesome, I'll see you then.
