The Youki Chronicles

by Wyverntooth

(Edgefic I'll finish differently later) Naruto chose a new life, the life of a fox. But what if the shinobi life catches up to him? Will he walk the streets of ninja or tread the path of a kitsune? Why not try both? He will put things in a new look on life. Rated T for safety. Might seem a bit dark at times, but Naruto's badass, so it's balanced. NaruInoTema.

Naruto was almost done tying the kunai to his fingers like when he fought Zabuza, when Anko was thrown into him. "Damn. You never said he was this strong! You don't need to use the Curse Mark if you don't want t-!" "Yes I do! If I don't, we die! I'm not letting that happen, not anytime soon or late!" Her voice was distorted by the venomous chakra the mark created and leaked into her coils. The Kyuubi jinchuuriki for one was pissed, he and Anko-chan were getting their asses handed to them and he couldn't use his ace in the hole. 'Damn it. I can't use your power Kyuubi, and I can't keeep using just my own or all of us die! Give me some advice,'

Inside of Naruto's mind, the daiyoukai kitsune was pondering on what he could do to keep his vessel and, since he was Naruto's tenant, himself as well. "I can only think to use the two tailed henge. It isn't my power, but it is your power manifested as a form you're comfortable with. That's all I can come up with, and you need to eat or run the risk of chakra exhaustion...THAT SNAKE! Go back to the carcass and eat as much as you can then come back to the fight!" Naruto had a look of stunned-stupidity, he hadn't thought of that and it was coming to bite him in the ass as it were.

'Thank you, Kyuubi! You are a genius! Gotta get something to eat, bye!' His antics never ended, even in battle. "Anko-chan," He yelled to the woman in her Cursed Form looked to him as they were at the moment at a draw with her spikes keeping Orochimaru's kusanagi out of her body. "I need to get something to eat!" The fight just stopped, had he just said that in the middle of a fight? Even Orochimaru was confused, this kid was sane right?

Upon seeing Anko's look of 'ARE YOU CRAZY' he said the only thing he could think of, "Just trust me!" With that, he ran towards the snake carcass to eat a well deserved and well required meal. The fight continued, Anko's spikes were only on her back and arms so she was limited to a very close-range set of melee.

She ran at the snake summoner, his snake sword was extended to an unearthly length and had to retract to keep her at bay in close combat. Reaching him, she started using her spikes like a chainsaw by spinning in a fashion resembling Naruto's tsurga. The effect was a 'rain storm' of blood and organs, Orochimaru's to be precise. He opened his mouth wide and pulled himself out of it with a jump before pulling his kusanagi out of his throat(No, 'e's not a sword-swallower from the circus children) then got into a kenjutsu stance.

She took a taijutsu stance as she prepared for the flood gates to swing wide with insanity, 'Okay, stay calm and stay focused. I just need to keep going until Naruto-kun gets back, please hurry Gaki.' She was thrown from her musings as the kusanagi passed by her throat. "It's quite a shame Anko-chan, you had such potential. Too bad you were inferior to some of...the others." His statement was accompanied with an under-slash, which was deflected by her spikes and he was then impaled by one of the aforementioned protrusions of bone on her arms and back.

"What do you mean 'the others'?! Are there more innocents who've suffered your torture?! ANSWER ME, YOU MOTHERFUCKER!" Her war cry was a full package, pain and grief included in the boxing fist she sent into his face. He flew back a few feet before landing on his feet, "Yes, there are many, many more. You were only given the first attempt, and I was clearly wrong in leaving you to this village. Do you want to know where the idea for the mark came from?"

His smug smirk was almost shredded from his pale face, a couple of mismatched senbon and kunai inbetween her fingers should have done it had her anger been none existent. "TELL ME NOW! OR YOUR DAYS OF EXPERIMENTING WILL BE NO MORE!" Her attitude definitely made him answer, "I got the basis for the Curse Mark, from a young man who belongs to an unnamed clan. He has an innate ability to mutate his body for offensive, defensive and survival purposes."

"So...The mark on the back of my neck, is a BASTARDIZED VERSION OF A YOUNG MAN'S KEKKAI GENKAI?! YOU MOTHERFUCKER!" She attacked him with renewed fervor, 'Hell hath no fury, like a woman scorned' took on a new meaning in those five minutes of combat. Before they could start fighting for five more, Naruto in his twin-tailed fox henge rammed Orochimaru in the stomach. He dropped the illusion with a smug smirk tugging on his lips, "Miss me...Fucker?"

His question, although rhetorical, was met with a chuckle from Anko and a glare from Orochimaru. "Well done Gaki, you got your strength back. Now," She said as thy both turned to Orochimaru, "Shall we, oh I don't know, destroy this Fucker?!" Again, a rhetorical question that was answered. It was answered with a reapplication of the henge and a yowl of concurrence. "GOOD!" They ran at him, Naruto's claws sharpened and teeth bared while Anko's spikes looked sharper than before and her sadistic grin grew into an almost evil smile that was even more intimidating with her diagonal whisker marks.

The prodigy of the Sandaime's Team 7 was unaware of what hit him the first five times, after about ten is when he retaliated. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" He Orochimaru called out, summoning a large purple cobra. The great serpent hissed before it lunged at the boxer-sized fox and cursed Snake Mistress. The two of them had to make a split second decision; jump out of the way and risk the lives of innocent forestfolk in the vicinity or stay put, get eaten and kill the creature from the inside.

The answer was obvious, "Gaki! Jump out of the way and make sure the forestfolk aren't nearby!" She received a yowl of acknowledgement as he leaped away from the obnoxiously sized serpentine summon while Anko stayed put and readied her spikes for tearing through flesh. The snake engulfed her in one swallow and was then cut from inside its throat, from which Anko jumped out of.

"What...WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" He screamed this as a statement instead of a question, "THIS SNAKE WAS RELATED TO MANDA! NOW THIS VILLAGE WILL BE NOTHING BUT RUINS AND CORPSES ONCE HE LEARNS OF WHAT YOU'VE DONE! I WANTED TO CONTROL THIS VILLAGE, NOT REMOVE IT FROM THE F-UNGH!" Naruto had run at him while he was preoccupied and ripped of the man's right arm before chewing then swallowing it. Anko took her chance and elbowed him then pulled her arm back abruptly as it was still against his chest, drawing fountains of blood before it melted into mud.

"A MUD CLONE?! DAMN IT!" Anko's scream was heard by the retreating form of Orochimaru and by the other two of Team 7. Naruto released his twin-tailed appearance and spoke sadly, "Let's get to the tower Anko-chan, we'll get him next time he shows his sorry carcass! You also need to return to normal, or you'll lose your already fragile sanity." She nodded solemnly and reverted to her normal Caucasian complexion and purple hair, her diagonal whiskers began to fade into nothing, and the spikes on her arms and back retracted into her bones in disgusting sounds of bones being broken down into the original.

"Okay...Let's go Gaki, your teammates are probably worried sick about you. Oh, before I forget, can you restore any pieces of my sanity like last time?" She was clearly exhausted, and it wasn't from the fight. She looked worn yes, but not physically. Her eyes were their original color, yet they held an insatiable bloodlust that she wasn't holding back too well. Naruto saw all these things and nodded, he had restored a piece of her sanity by using Kyuubi's chakra to heal her.

'Kyuubi, can you lend me some chakra please?' His mental voice was pleading, he didn't want to have to kill her if she went insane, "Why should I?" The large fox's apathetic attitude was expected, but unwanted as Naruto responded in the same pleading mental voice as before. 'Please, we need as many allies as possible if Konohagakure's destruction and restoration are to be a success later in life. Anko-chan is an essential friend and supporter, we need all the help we can get and that means healing her...' He left it to hang there, he knew that persuading Kyuubi would be difficult if possible to do like the last time.

"...Very well, I'll lend you some of my chakra to heal her. But, remember! I want control for a given amount of time!" Naruto looked up and nodded vigorously enough that one would think his had would fall off. 'Thank you Kyuubi!' With his mental appeasing of his tenant out of the way, Naruto placed his hands to Anko's temples and channeled a small portion of Kyuubi's chakra into her body. Kyuubi, while still inside of Naruto, was able to push some of his consciousness into Anko's psyche enough to repair the woman's scarred mind.

Her mind was a jungle on it's side, the sky was to his right and the ground was to his left. He was hopping from tree to tree and found the insanity, it manifested as people who were speaking incoherently and were laughing evilly. The overly large fox changed the scrap of his mind into the form of a fox the size of a mule with four tails and charged chakra from Anko's body into a miniaturized bijuu bomb that he fired into the ungodly mass of humanoid mental constructs of madness.

Outside of Anko's mind, her eyes' luster and playfulness began to gradually restore itself from the lack of the Curse Mark of Earth's influence. She and Naruto began their trek to the tower as well as the other contestants of the exams. Before thy got very far though, Orochimaru came out of the ground and slammed his right hand with blue flames on his fingertips into Naruto's stomach, knocking him unconscious. The Hebi Sannin then turned to mud and Anko was left with an out-of-action Naruto on her hands.

Sakura and Sasuke had retrieved a scroll of Heaven from a genin from Amegakure, and were now setting up camp anticipating the return of their beloved blond blizzard of bemusement. The pinkette was looking anxiously around for Naruto, he'd done so much for the team so far without being asking for anything in return, having him not around and acting odd was kind of unnerving for her. "Sasuke-kun," Receiving a curious 'hm' brought a small smile to hr face, he wasn't replying in a simple 'hn's that much anymore.

"Do you think, Naruto's going to be okay?" Sasuke looked to the canopy, the trees were larger than average, but they still allowed one to see the stars on clear nights. "I-I mean, h's strong and all, but...Can he and Anko-san take on a Sannin with a hope of winning?" Sasuke pondered these questions, there was no doubt that Naruto was strong and that with Anko-san's experience they would give the man a heck of a fight...'But can they win? Naruto's raw power in mortal form, Anko-san is a Tokubetsu Jonin with years of missions and gimmicks under belt, or trench coat depending on how you look at it.' He answered in the most honest voice he'd used since the day they saw the Fox Memorial Grounds, "I don't know. Anko-san and Naruto are dangerous on their own, that's a given. Naruto took Zabuza on and almost won, Anko-san's a Tokubetsu Jonin with years of experience on her shoulders...Together? I don't think Orochimaru could not survive without going all out. or at last putting an effort into it!"

Sakura nodded her agreement, Sasuke was more open ever since they became the teammates of the real Naruto. Sasuke was talking more often and being less holier-than-thou about most things now. "With Naruto's influence of people...He could change a country, maybe even the world as we know it..." She unknowingly spoke her thoughts aloud and was getting an incredulous look from Sasuke at the thought of Naruto changing the world, "...Maybe, maybe. We won't know until he makes his move after all, he is going to fix our village..."

They fell into a comfortable silence, enjoying each others' company(Yes, Sasuke's growing up from a constantly-constipated prick into a decent young man). Sasuke then had a pensive look adorning his normally stoic or scowling face, "Hey Sakura, this is going to sound like a strange question..." Sakura looked intrigued at his statement, 'What could he ask that's strange after what we've seen from our mission in Nami no Kuni?' "Shoot," The last Uchiha then looked to the skis again, he did that when he was contemplating something as his teammates had learned.

"How long have we been in the Forest of Death? How many days?" Sakura's face took on a similarly pensive look, her left hand's index finger to her chin and her eyes to the canopy in thought. "...About, um, I'd say about two or three days. Time feels almost none existent or longer with Naruto around, doesn't it?" She asked this with a slight chuckle, Sasuke returned the good-natured chuckle. "Yeah, it seems like it was only yesterday that we learned of his mask, and yet it seems so long ago as well. He has a way of directing all attention towards himself, and I doubt it's entirely intentional anymore!"

The voice of one Mitarashi Anko broke their lightened mood, "Hey, chibis I could use some help?" Her voice was aggravated, at what they didn't know, but it was at something serious. They looked to her and found Naruto riding her piggyback, deathly-pale and looking like he should be in a buried casket at the cemetery. Sakura rushed over, worried for her older brother figure/ semi-crush. "What happened?!" Her concern brought a sad smile to Anko's distraught face as she answered,

"Orochi-teme placed a seal on his-him," She made a quick save for Naruto, 'These two don't know, might as well keep it that way until their ready and Naruto-kun is.' "The seal causes all control of chakra to be sent into a constant fluctuation that doesn't allow proper use of anything that uses chakra. He could us a simple clone jutsu and he'd probably gt it right with how large his chakra reserves are, Orochi-teme always had a way to find the weakest link and screw up its strengths." Anko's knuckles were white from clenching her fists so hard.

Sasuke looked concerned for his friend, "Can you remove it? How do we remove it?!" Anko looked at him with a deadpan like h was a complete moron, "If I knew, do you think he'd be out like a light on the ground, pale as a ghost?!" She was tapping her foot with a great deal of irritation at the prodigy before her, who was now making a face of 'I'm so fucking stupid'. "I can't, you two don't have the control, the reserves, or the experience in fuinjutsu, Naruto-kun's out like a light for now and the only person I can think of who could remove the seal Orochi-teme placed isn't here right now!"

Her breathing slowed as she calmed down, it was a problem and she was venting on a pair of genin. "Okay, let's gt you three to the tower. Technically, I can't do anything to help you, so I'll meet you three there. Take care of my Gaki, got it!" Her possessive tone sent them into fervent nods, "Good, get their as quick as you can. I'll let the Hokage and other jonin know of what occurred here." With that, she was gone. Sasuke and Sakura exchanged worried glances between each other and then looked to the unconscious form of Naruto. His head was in Sakura's lap with a wet cloth over his forehead to cool his sweating face.

Timeskip, 2 hours

The two conscious genin of Team 7 were in a room with a board with text written in a riddle, the riddle spoke of Heaven in Earth as training for shinobi in a 'vice versa' manner. During the few minute they were thinking, Naruto began to wake up. "Damn...That teme's a nasty piece of work, note to self: don't let that happn again, end note. Ungh, why's it so bright outside, it should be night right about now." The blond troublemaker, Sakura and Sasuke now had three heads working to figure out the riddle.

"Naruto!" Sakura glomped him, making him grunt in pain as he landed on his ass from the unforeseen attack of affection from the pinkette. He got up after she let go and said a few things as he raised his shirt to see the seal placed over his, "I better try to take off this seal, I don't need my control any shoddier than it is on a good day..." With that said, he charged chakra into his fingertips that became visible as blue flames. He held the shirt in his mouth and pressed the glowing hand to his seal, making him gasp and groan at the pain of only half-removing the seal. "UNGH! Damn it, huh huh, my control's good enough to half-remove it. Oh well, it's better than nothing."

His shirt back to where it was before and his seal only half-handicapped, he looked to the board and then unrolled both scrolls which he threw over each other. A cloud of smoke emerged from the pair of scrolls and out of the cloud stepped one Omino Iruka. "Hey, what I miss?" His casual tone of voice was met with sweatdrops from the three genin.

"You missed me and Anko-chan fighting Orochimaru, it hurt." He was in a corner as a fox with a cloud of depression over his head, the reward for his antics was a glomp from a seemingly out-of-nowhere Yamanaka Ino. "FOXY-KUN! YOU'RE MINE!" The fox, then shifted to the twin-tailed appearance and was then being hung onto by the blonde kunoichi. She was trying not to fall off of the boxer-sized fox, but she wasn't being done any favors for Naruto as his two tails began to wag eccentrically around Ino. The tails were hitting her, making her start to slip, and Naruto's prancing around wasn't doing her any good either.

Choji with a bag of chips and Shikamaru walked into the room to find an obnoxiously sized twin-tailed fox with one Yamanaka Ino slipping on and off his back as he ran around. "Uuuhhh..." Iruka just looked to them as he said calmly, "I don't even want to know. Good job you guys," He was awarded glares from Ino and Sakura, so he rectified his mistake quickly, "And girls." Appeased, they returned to trying to catch the large vulpine.

It took a few minutes for Iruka to leave, seeing as he found it kind of amusing to see Ino being thrashed about on the fox and Sakura chasing the cat/dog-hybrid-resembling animal. While Naruto was enjoying the exercise, he was irritated at their determination to literally lash him for their pleasure.(Yes, I man it in those ways) The fox was just about at wits end with those two when an ingenious plan began to brew in his furry skull. His movements began to get a little too close for comfort to the walls, Ino being on his back left her to getting bruised or broken bones while Sakura was now holding onto a tail trying to slow him down. Sakura's safety was a clear risk that Naruto wasn't taking into account, he seemed to interested in ramming the wall!

Just before he intercepted the wall's path, he jumped off the ground and off the wall. He didn't drop right away, he seemed to stick in the air for a few second before coming down to Earth. His landing made a small crater, one that sent dust and small debris into all directions. The others had to cover their eyes so they didn't go possibly blind or get something in their eyes. The dust cloud revealed Naruto standing defensively over Ino and Sakura, like everyone was a threat. Everyone looked into his eyes and lost their breathe.

Team 8 had snuck into the room to figure out the reason behind the commotion, what they found stole their that Naruto was a boxer-sized fox with two tails slowly-swishing behind him like ribbons in the breeze. His fur was a golden-red, it looked like it shined with sunset was upon them. They made sure that there wasn't a hole in the tower's walls to figure out the unearthly light. Iruka was stunned, 'N-Naruto? What have you become?' His answer came as he looked into the soul-piercing blue eyes that could make Kami herself uneasy. His teeth were bared and looked razor sharp, they were whiter than ivory. His claws were black and sharp like kunai, his legs were muscular and lean.

He looked like he would kill anyone who came too close, after looking in his eyes...It was clear he was being defensive unconsciously. He was unaware that he was screaming in body language, 'These two are under my protection, if you want them you're coming through me first!' His stance was almost regal, he looked majestic in his own right. His paws were big enough to be a small mule's hoof and could break anyone's bones if the need or desire to arose. The most intriguing thing about him though, was the aura he carried himself in. It demanded no nonsense, respect, discipline, and forgiveness. The aura of their favorite fox was also loving, calm, playful, and determined.

He walked out of the crater he made, carrying Ino and Sakura on his back carefully. For reasons unknown to the eight shinobi watching, they wanted to clap for him. He looked strangely heroic, carrying two young girls out of a crater with a cloud of dust still heavy in the air and an air of authority and majesty. After taking a few feet out of the crater, he gently put them on the floor before jumping onto the wall then into the air...Where he hung for a minute or two.

Naruto landed in the exact same crater without a care in the world, just a mildly sated curiosity. 'So, I can remain in the air for short periods of time. Huh, guess I've got my work cut out for me.' He looked to his old teacher, his teammates and the others in the room. He then made a squeaky, whine-squawking noise in frustrated. Hinata, being innocent and unaware, asked what he was trying to say to them.

"W-what's that n-noise h-he's making? What d-does it mean, I-Iruka-sensei?" Before the chunin could answer, Shikamaru henge'd into Iruka and spoke in their teacher's voice to the dot. "And that students, is the sound of a frustrated fox!" He finished with a smirk that earned him a front row seat to see the akuma heddo no jutsu. "You're a bitch, THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE!"

Suffice to say, the other genin shut up after that. It was an effective jutsu when used properly, like when someone's students aren't listening. Naruto decided to make the girls stop faking sleep, his solution? Sleeping on top of both of them at the same time. He laid down horizontally across both of their bodies, earning 'oof's and groans of complaint at being under an overly-large fox.

"Foxy-kun...Could you, oh I don't know, get off of us?!" Her tone of voice was more of a demand than a request, she was done no favors from Naruto as he began to snore lightly. Sakura and Ino began struggling, only for Naruto to roll over and on top of the respective chest and head of the two girls. Their fur-muffled calls for help were answered with laughter from their classmates. Naruto rolled back onto their stomachs and kept snoring. Sakura had a tick mark on her forehead and on Ino's forehead there was a popped vein evident as they tried to lift the large dog-sized fox.

That's when Sakura asked, "When did the rest of you get here? Before us?" Ino answered with a sense of superiority, "Yea, it just shows how much better of a shinobi I am than you. That's why-MMPH!" Her speech of being better was stopped by one of Naruto's tails covering her face, getting a smile on Sakura's face to appear and Naruto's snoring seemed less labored. That's when everyone noticed he was actually asleep this time, that's also when Iruka saw that he 'wasn't needed' anymore. "Well, good by and good luck kids!"

Iruka disappeared in a cloud of smoke, getting irritated looks from the two downed kunoichi. Hinata then took the initiative to try to move the enlarged critter, her solution was to scratch him behind the ears and under the chin. Her award winning ministrations, in Naruto's very biased opinion, got the boxer-sized fox to get up and lay down for her to scratch his stomach. His reaction elicited a giggle from Hinata and jealous glares from the other two girls, while the ex-drop outs looked glad that he was acting so behaved around the gentle and innocent Hyuga heiress.

Not a moment after that thought crossed their minds, Naruto looked up to the walls and through deduction, the air. He got up abruptly with Hinata now on his back like he was a horse, as he leaped up to the wall and into the air. He decided to try his luck and he began to run in the air, with stellar results of staying aloft with a passenger.(If ya've seen the fight between Naruto and Menma, ya know what I'm talkin' 'bout)

He lost his 'hold' on the air and fell, landing smoothly in the same crater again, bringing with him a cloud of dust. Coming out of the cloud, Hinata looked as excited as a if she were on a date with a celebrity. (If ya think 'bout it, Naruto's become a celebrity through the Bingo Book) She was holding onto his fur with a giddy expression that made everyone who knew her think, 'THAT DOESN'T BELONG THERE!' Naruto had a look of 'OH MY GOD GET HER OFF ME!' and he wasn't disappointed, Kiba came over tentatively and took Hinata from her her new favorite 'ride'.

"Mmm, but I w-was h-having f-f-fun..." Her groan was met with a relieved sigh from the fox, after she got out of his fur she reverted to her normal timid personality. Shikamaru saw this and put it together, "Kiba, let her back on Naruto!" Hinata looked giddy, Naruto and Kiba looked terrified, Shino raised an eyebrow, and the other three looked at him like he was psychotic. Naruto started to make a leap for it, but Hinata jumped on his back quicker than he anticipated and her attitude turned more confident, "Yeah! Naruto-kun, you're mine for now!"

'She still has the polite part of her personality, she just reacts to his aura of confidence!' Shikamaru then snapped his fingers after getting out of his thinking pose, and rose his voice in the 'I am a genius!' manner. "That's it! She's not obsessed with him in the sense that we're thinking, I mean she is," Naruto didn't catch that right away, he had a furry face that asked 'huh?' as Shikamaru continued. "She's reacting to his aura of confidence and it's overpowering her timidity, that's why she's so possessive, she's trying to keep confident!" The looks of stupid-stunned was all over the others' faces, except for Hinata, she was snuggling closer to her sense of confidence.

The confidence Hinata felt was still there but in lesser amounts after they got her off Naruto's hide. They left her in close proximity to Naruto as they entered a small arena-like area. The area had only the team from Sunagakure and Takigakure to talk to, and only Fuu was a very good conversationalist. The week itself went by pretty slowly, Naruto was always in his vulpine henge. He'd been practicing the ability to run on air, Ino had been trying to smother his face a lot which confused the Bejesus out of Naruto.

Shikamaru was walking with a twin-tailed Naruto-fox, chatting it up to Hell. "I told you Naruto, people don't have 'butterfly hair'. It doesn't even make se-I stand corrected." After turning the corner, they saw Temari, who Naruto tackled. "Get...The Hell...Off me, you mangy beast!" Her attempts to get him off were useless to say the least. Naruto then abruptly got up and ran down the hallway, leaving a confused Shikamaru and a relieved Temari.

That's when an ear splitting shriek, getting everyone who heard it to widen their eyes. And then Naruto's voice rang out, "Five fucking miles I ran, and I'm still as giddy as a five year-old on an elevator!" A random employee then spoke up, "Hello little boy, how are you doing?" Naruto's response was evil in every sense of the word, "I will break your legs! I can kick things really, really Hard!" The employee then asked, "How hard exactly?"

The answer came in the sound form of metal being bent, "LIKE MY DICK HARD!" That's when a second scream, worse than the first came from Naruto's direction. Naruto spoke up again, "My favorite subject is physics because I can defy it!" Another employee voiced their concern, "This kid's crazy, let's kick his ass!" The blond whirlwind responded, "I just hovered in the air without Nike's, FUCK YOU!" And once again, a scream pierced the once calm air. Around this time, everyone decided to find out what the fuck Naruto was doing to elicit so many screams today.

Everyone who gave half a rat's ass ran for whoever's life was in danger, and they found Naruto in his twin-tails henge and a corpse that had foxnip on it. Shikamaru facefaulted, Ino and Saura looked like they would throw up, Hinata passed out from the shock, Kiba and Akamaru were covering their noses from the scent of blood, Choji put his chips away after looking green, Gaara's eyebrow twitched with irritation that he didn't think of eating his victims first, and the others were calm about it after seeing more than enough gore in life.

Anko walked on the scene, looking confused about why everyone was looking weird until she saw the corpse and the foxnip. That's when she hugged the still eating dog sized fox while saying, "Oh that's a good boy, who's a good murderer?! You found the hebi bunshin I made!" Everyone looked stunned, 'This was all a training exercise?!' While Gaara's thoughts were a little more gruesome, 'Why didn't I think of eating my victims so Mother would have more blood? Forgive me mother, please!' Gaara received no answers, just snores and sighed relieved that his 'Mother' wasn't about to punish him.

Naruto on the other hand was getting attention from Anko that was all positive. She was scratching behind his ears, rubbing his whiskers, and scratching under the chin. He was in a high heaven with food, 'What more could a fox want?!' He received no answer, but kept eating. That is until, Temari's fan met the top of his head, "WHAT THE FUCK?! YOU EAT PEOPLE?! WHERE'S YOUR HUMANITY?! THAT TAKI JINCHUURIKI, FUU, IS MORE HUMANE AND LESS BLOODTHIRSTY THAN YOU AND GAARA!" She couldn't go on, because a screech broke her words that would have come out, she then turned and saw Fuu's beetles eating her perverted teammate slowly and painfully.

"...Okay, I take it back. YOU THREE ARE THE BLOODTHIRSTIEST PEOPLE I'VE EVER MET IN MY LIFE!" She stalked back to her brothers, Kankuro gave her a wide berth while Gaara didn't seem to care. That's when it clicked for Sakura after she regained her composure, now knowing that Naruto wasn't eating a true person, "Wait a minute, Anko-san! You let him eat people?! Or clones?" Anko just looked to her, nodded, then returned to her ministrations on 'her' Gaki.

"Yep, it's how I make sure he doesn't slack off and how I intend to get Ibiki out of a job. By sicking Gaki, here, on 'em! Clever, right?" Her answer was given by Sasuke, "More like sadistic." He received a smack upside the head for his honesty, to which he grumbled something about 'unfairness' and 'evil snake ladies'. "Now, anymore pointless questions?" Getting no problems, she nodded approvingly. Naruto's consumption of the fake corpse ended abruptly, his ears were turning very which way as his head turned around frantically.

Kiba and Akamaru scented the air, turning raised eyebrows to the dog-sized fox. He began to make a gekkering at something that no one detected, that is, except the two other jinchuuriki. Fuu's chakra armor came into the world, Gaara's sand circled him, and Naruto traded in the fur coat for his initial jinchuuriki form. Before anyone could ask, a Fuma shuriken came at the Kyuubi jinchuuriki out of nowhere. Time seemed to slow down around all of them, Naruto ran at the shuriken, four legs blazing. What he did next was ingenious!

He leaped towards the flying projectile and called out, "Tsurga!" His form became nothing but a miniature cyclone that went around the offending weapon and then went through it! Everyone's eyes widened as his plan became clear, he was improvising a new jutsu. The twister of death, feet, claws and metal grabbed onto the shuriken from inside, stopped to spin it faster in the opposite direction and then resumed while guiding his new assisting weapon to its origin. Said cause of the wheel of pain, was a chunin by the name of Mizuki, who had a horrified look on his face as he was then torn up by his own weapon and target of murder.

Naruto's short assault stopped as soon as it began, but the man who suffered his wrath was worse for wear. "H-Huff-How did y-you know...Naruto! I was concealed?" Naruto quirked an eyebrow, 'That was supposed to be an assassination attempt?' He asked Kyuubi, who only answered with an 'Iunno' and what Naruto assumed was a shrug. His question was unknowingly voiced, answered by the only other teacher who was nice to him. "I-I was, *coughcough*, supposed to eradicate you...After all, hehehehe, you're the 'demon-brat'. Huff-How did you know where I was...?!"

Mizuki's feeble hopes of antagonizing Naruto were fruitless, the young man in a make-shift flak jacket had heard more than plenty of the names he was called. "The direction the shuriken came from, the scent of malevolent chakra, and also my oldest friend..." He said this while listing it down with his fingers, getting Mizuki to glare at him. "You...*Coughcough*, really are a demon! Orochimaru-sa-!" The traitorous shinobi wasn't able to finish, for as soon as he said the Sannin's name, he was punched in the stomach hard enough to knock him out.

Naruto sneered at the older man, he had always seemed too cheery and kind around him, and now he knew why. The Kitsunin then henge'd into his twin-tailed form and began to eat the chunin's hands, eliciting screams from him. He turned to the others in the arena-like room without guilt in his step, when he rached the bottom of the stairs, he released the form and as he silently cried...Said a few words that would stay with everyone for a long time, "The world of the shinobi is gruesome, bloody, and it is cruel! But in the end? We are nothing more, than the cause of it all. People come and go, lives are lost and gained. And friends always stay in one way, shape or form,"

He inhaled deeply, he was going to make history with these words, might as well make it look and sound cool. "...If you're sick of it, don't be! There's a Hell of a lot more coming..." With that, he left the room while returning to the henge without a handseal and without any fucks given from anyone.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

What do y'all think? Good, bad, somewhere in between? Please, R&R. Naruto's forms in the henge will change as he grows stronger, as Kyuubi said, "It's not my power, but it is your own manifested in a form you're comfortable with." That's all I can think of at the moment, so...SEE YA!
