Thanks for the R&R everyone.
Like always I do not own Naruto.
It appears that people are hoping for this story to be come a harem story. I'm not sure if I am taking it towards a harem. I know I do want Naruto paired with Ino. Also I don't think I going to do any gender bends like I do in my other stories. For I will ask Do anyone want Haku or Gaara as a Girl. Please let me know and if I do take it too a harem. I will put a list of girls and have people vote for who will be in it.
I have posted a poll on my profile for this story if it should be a harem or straight just Ino. I forgot to put that. I am also open for suggestions. I know I do want Naruto paired with Ino for sure. For that is one of the pairings I do like. I know we have the Hinata shippers and so on. I am trying not to do to many Gender bends even though those are my favorite to do. For I thought about adding a female Gaara but that is up for debate and fell free to let me know in the comments or if I need to add more names to the list to be voted on.
Chapter 2
"Ino before we go to some of your favorite stores. I only have few places I am able to shop." Said Naruto as he turns away from the platinum blonde girl.
Ino glares at him. "Well if you stopped pranking half the village. Maybe half the store owners would be a lot nicer to you." She scolded him.
'Yeah keep telling yourself that. Believe that's the reason you see people treating me like shit.' Naruto thought to himself as he head to one of the stores that Choji's mom owns. Chichi Akimichi stood behind the counter as she saw Naruto and Ino walk into her store.
"Hello Naruto-kun. Ino-chan." Said Chichi as she walks up to the children with a smile.
Naruto grins at the large woman before him. "Hi Chi-chan." He told her as he walks up to her for a hug.
Ino watched the two interact with each other as she fallows after her fellow blonde up to the large woman for a hug as well. "Hello Chi-mama." She told her childhood friend's mother.
"What brings you two here?" Question Chichi as she eyes them both.
"Naruto had a growth spirt and I'm going to make sure he is wearing something normal and not that orange monster he loves so much." Said Ino as she makes a face at his orange jumpsuit.
"Hey! Orange is awesome." Defended Naruto as he was now pout as he watched the large woman now laughing at him.
"Well your more then welcome to fine something here for him." Said Chichi as she went back behind the counter.
Outside of Akimichi Rose
Outside of Akimichi Rose stood Hinata as she watched from outside of the store though the window as Ino held up different color shirts to Naruto.
'Nooo…. How can Ino-san be doing this to me?' Question Hinata as she watched hew new blonde hair rival for the one, she loves.
Inside the store
Out of the corner of her eye Ino caught the sight of an indigo hair girl watching from outside of the store at here shoving shirts into Naruto's arms. "Here go try these on." She ordered him.
"Yeah fine whatever." Said Naruto as he turned away from her walking to a dressing room that Chichi set up for him
Ino moves around the store and out the open door to where Hinata doesn't see her as she sneaks up behind the shy Hyuuga heiress. "What are you doing Hinata?" Asked Ino with a smirk.
"Eep!" Escapes Hinata's lips as she spins around and faces Ino with her cheeks now a bright scarlet color that Ino has ever seen in her life. "I-I-I j-just wa-wanted to see what you and Naruto-kun are doing?"
Ino nods her head to this. "All I am doing is helping him find something new to wear. If you want to help. All you have to do is ask." She tells the shy girl.
"Ano. Why are you h-helping him?" Question Hinata feeling less nervous.
Ino stood there for a few seconds not really sure why herself about why she was helping the blonde hair misfit from their class. "I'm not sure. But you know he would look better in something better then always in that orange monster of an eyesore he is always wearing and if he truly wants to be a shinobi might as well now get him up to pare with what to wear and what not to wear." She told the indigo hair girl.
Hinata nodded her head and fallowed Ino into the store just as Naruto walked out of the dressing room with black cargo pants with a few dozen pockets and a skintight black shirt with a fishnet shirt over it. He looked at both girls with a slight grin. "What do you two think?" He asked them.
Both girls had a slight blush on their cheeks as Chichi walked up behind them. "I think that suits you quite well Naruto-kun." She told the orange loving boy as he handed him a black duster with an orange Uzumaki swirl on the back of it and a black cloth headband with the same orange swirl.
Naruto tried it on and looked himself in the mirror grinning at the look. Hinata blushed a little more as she looked around the store and saw an orange bottom-up shirt and walked over and grabbed it and came back over to him. "Here try this on over the black shirt and fishnet." She told him without the stutter. Something had come over her that she felt calm for once. Maybe just maybe she was getting over her fear and becoming a little stronger.
"Thank you, Hinata-chan.," Said Naruto as he was now grinning as he slipped off the duster and put the shirt on leaving it up button. He looked at the three standing behind him for the seal of approval about his new look as he slipped on black ninja boots.
Ino grinned at the new look. She liked it and it suited him oddly well. Hinata was liking this look as well. Chichi was happy to see that Naruto had made a couple of friends that are willing to help him.
"You look good for once Naruto." Said Ino as she grinned.
"Y-You look real-really nice Naruto-kun." Said Hinata felling a little nervous and her cheeks heating up a little more.
"I think we have your new look Naruto-kun. Come by tomorrow and I'll have several sets ready for you. For now I just have two of those jackets and three cargo pants and four of each of those shirts and I want to at lease give you two weeks' worth of clothing. I know how you with training are, so I want to make sure they hold up, so I have to add seals to the others as I have already added to these ones." Said Chichi as she smiled at the blonde hair misfit of Konoha. She has always been fair to the boy for she always had a felling that he was the son of her late teammate Kushina Uzumaki and she would do anything for her late best friend.
Naruto bowed to the large woman and smiled up at her. "Thank you, Chichi-chan., Are you going to put it on the old man's tab?" He asked her. She nodded at this and he sighed in relief for he wasn't sure he was going to have enough for everything he bought here today.
Across the Village at the Yamanaka Compound
Ino's father was standing the in the family home looking over at his wife with a nervous expression on his face.
"Inoichi what is troubling you?" Asked Usagi Yamanaka wife of Inoichi and mother of Ino.
Inoichi looked over at his wife. He slowly let out a sigh before he spoke. "It is the family curse. I am worried about it might not skip Ino-chan." He told her.
Usagi looked over at her husband with fear in her eyes. "What do you mean your not sure that it will skip Ino-chan?" She question. "Didn't it skip you?"
He nodded to this. "Yes, it did. Skip me. But it is rare to skip two or three generations. How Ino turn 10 not that long ago we should begin to start seeing signs if it will come to pass." He told his now worried wife.
"How could your great-great-great-great-great grandfather be so foolish to piss of an old Gypsy when he was a boy. To curse his family with the mark of the werecat of all things." Said Usagi as she let out a sigh. She was told the family curse the moment she married her husband and became pregnant with Ino. For there might be a chance of that curse fallowing their child. "At what age does the curse take full hold of the person?" She question him.
Ino turned and pulled an old bookstand in the living room. Flipping though a couple of pages he found what he was looking for. For his great grandfather many times over had kept a details dairy of the transformation of his children that where effected by the curse. "It states here that it will take full effect during the first full moon of their 12th year of their life. But also a strong alpha could affect it and cause the transformation to haven't quicker. But there isn't any "Alpha's" in her class and the Inuzuka heir isn't nothing more then a beta or omega at best." He told his wife trying to reassure her. "All we must do is watch for a marking to appear on his left shoulder of a cat claws."
Usagi just nodded her head to this. She was worried for her baby. She knew her class had several strong boys and only two came to mind. One being the so-called Rookie of the Year and The Dead last for that boy seem to be more then what he let on.
Later that evening
Ino had finally gotten home from her shopping trip with Naruto and Hinata. He was surprisingly not as stupid as she believed him to be. He had walked her home and then walked Hinata home for when they had finished shopping it was already late and it wouldn't look to well that two clan heiress walking alone home. So he took it upon himself to escort them both to their clan estates before making his way home.
"I'm home." Said Ino as she walked into her family home.
"Hello sweetie." Called Usagi from the kitchen as she was making dinner for her family.
"Hello Princess. Your getting home kind of late today?" Question Inoichi as he watched his daughter put her bag down and walk into the kitchen towards her parents as they had been chatting about the family curse all afternoon and evening.
She smiled at both of them. "Well yeah. I had to help Naruto find something better to wear beside that ugly monster of an orange jumpsuit he loves so much." She told them both.
Inoichi looked at his daughter a little puzzled. "What do you mean you had to help him?" He asked her.
Ino sighed. "Well yesterday after school Iruka-sensei asked me to go and check on Naruto to find out why he hadn't shown up for class for the last three day for Iruka-sensei couldn't do it himself for he has been busy with teacher meetings and after the meetings he helps out at the Hokage Tower. So how we don't live that far from Naruto he figured I would be the best bet to ask. So this morning I left a little early so I wouldn't be late and went over to Naruto's house. When he open the door after I was knocking like for five minutes he was standing there in his boxers." Said Ino as her father was turning a little red for, he was a little upset that the boy would open the door dressed only in his underwear.
His wife walked up to him and placed her gentle hand on his shoulder to calm him down before he went over the boys house to yell at him. "Go a head and tell us what else happen sweetie." Said her mother.
Ino nodded. "When he open the door that way. His boy wasn't like weak looking. He was built more muscles and his boxers seems to be a little small for him. When I asked him why he hasn't been in class for three days he looked at me in shock and told me. He had a fever and been sleeping for three days straight thinking he had only slept one day. I told him to hurry up and get dress so we wouldn't be late." She told her parents.
"Did he tell you what brought on this "fever"?" Asked Inoichi as he was now worried. For he knew Naruto has never gotten sick for the fox sealed within him had always made sure the boy was in pretty much always in prefect health even after beatings the boy would bounce back in a day or two.
Ino frowned at her father. "I was going to get to that." She told him as she kept talking. "When he came back his clothes where too thigh for him and I was shock to see he has a growth spurt and after seeing that I got lost in thought that he would need help with shopping and during that time he picked me up and ran us both to school and when we got there I hit him over the head. Oh before I forget I did ask what caused the fever and he said he got bitten by something in Training ground 44. I guess he and Kiba had a bet to go there a couple days ago and Kiba chicken out or more likely his mother threaten him, and he didn't show up and Naruto went all alone and he said he slipped and bumped into something and it bit him. What I saw and overheard from Kiba's mom during lunch was he got bit by a wolf. She didn't seem to happy about it." Said Ino as she studied her parent's faces before her.
"Well Tsume don't like haven't wild packs of wolves running around the village for about 15 years ago several children went missing by wolf attacks and her clan and several members of our clan and the Nara, Akimichi clans had gathered together and hunted down the pack that was hiding in the Forest of Death and wiped them all out." Said Inoichi as he remember his father and him being part of that hunt.
"Yes, that was a frightening time. For it was around the time the second war ended and the third war was about to begin." Said Usagi as she remember that night. For she had last her older sister to a wolf attack.
Ino looked at little shocked. "Really? There was wolf attacks like that within the village?" She asked her parents.
They both nodded her head. 'Yes, father was worried for it was drawing to much attention those that had been affect by the family curse had almost been caught during that time and blamed for the murders.' He thought to himself as the family worked hard to keep those affect caged and chained up in the basement of the main house.
"Wow that is scary to think about." Said Ino as she turned around to run up stairs to get clean up before dinner. As she turned around her father saw the marking, he feared on his daughter shoulder slowly appear. Something had trigged it to slowly being to appear now. After she was gone and out of hearing Inoichi turned to his wife with a frown marring his face.
"We have trouble." Inoichi told his wife.
Usagi looked over at her husband a little confused at first. "What do you mean?" She asked him.
"The marking is appearing." Was all Inoichi told her as she had the look of horror. So very soon they would have to tell their daughter the truth about their family curse.
Hokage Tower
Tsume Inuzuka stood before the 3rd Hokage. "Sir. We have trouble for Naruto has bite marks on his forearm from a wolf that he claims bit him three nights ago in the Forest of Death." She tells him as she frowns at him.
The 3rd Hokage looks at her with worry. "I thought your clan and the others had killed all the wolves in the Forest over 15 years ago?" He asked her as he now worried for his grandson.
"We did. We killed the pack of about 30 wolves that night." But we never found the den where the cubs were kept. So we could have missed a female with about maybe six or more cubs she was left to protect as the others hunted." Said Tsume as she felt upset and guilty.
"It is strange that they kept quiet and low key for this long." Said the 3rd Hokage as he studied the woman before him.
"Wolves are smart and can learn and adopt to anything to keep themselves and their young safe." Said Tsume as she was ready to set that whole train ground ablaze once and for all.
Sarutobi nodded his head to this. "Do you think your clan would be able this time to find the den?" He asked her.
Tsume shook her head no. "I have spent all afternoon and even until just a half hour ago there trying to track the pack that might be left. All I found is where Naruto was attack for there was some blood and his scent and the scent of the wolf and then it was gone. Like it learn to mask its scent." She told the aged man before her.
This made Sarutobi arch a brow to this. "That wolf was showing Intelligence on a human level. This could be very dangerous for those who go into that training ground. For now I will have the training ground closed off and have several Hyuuga's go with several of your clansmen to see if they can spot any tracks that your ninkin might have missed." He tells her as she nodded her head.
With Hinata
Naruto had dropped the girl off at her compound as the father was standing outside the walls waiting for her as she was late for her training and it was odd for the girl to not come right home from school. To just vanish after she finishes her clan training.
"Hinata." Said Hisashi as he narrows his eyes at the blonde hair boy walking with his daughter.
Hinata grows stiff and more nervous as she hears her father say her name and spots him waiting for her. But to her shock and surprise Naruto speaks up.
"I am sorry Hinata is coming home late Lord Hyuuga. She was with myself and Ino Yamanaka at Lady Chichi Akimichi's clothing stop aiding Ino-chan in helping me pick out proper attire of a young and up and coming shinobi like myself." Said Naruto.
This shocked all around him for he spoke in a way no one has ever heard him speak. For he has never shown any type of respect to anyone. Not even the Hokage himself has ever gotten his type of respect from the boy.
"Then you should have come straight here with Hinata and Miss Yamanaka and Informed me or her personal guard of this. For Ko has been seeking the entire village for Hinata." Said Hisashi as he glared at the boy before him.
"I am sorry for the trouble that I have cause for her and her personal guard. All I ask is to be forgiven as I didn't wish any trouble to befall my friend." Said Naruto.
'So he sees Hinata and Ino as his friend.' Thought Hisashi as he turned around to walk back into the compound before stopping and once more looking at Naruto. "Make sure you or Miss Yamanaka don't let this happen again. Come Hinata you have training to do." He said as he vanished behind, he open gates as Hinata nodded her head and turned to Naruto.
"I-I'll see you tomorrow." Said Hinata and with that she runs into her family compound and to find her father stand there just waiting and watching.
"Why did you become friends with the Yamanaka heirs and young Uzumaki?" He question his daughter.
Hinata looked up at her father. "Today at lunch I became friends with Ino-chan and after school with Naruto as Ino-chan asked me to help her with Naruto-kun's new look. She didn't like his orange jumpsuit and he needed new clothing for he had grown overnight." She told her father.
Hisashi nodded his head and continued walking. 'Minato your son looks just like you at this age. Will he grow up to be as strong as you and Kushina?' Hisashi question himself. For him and his late wife at been at Minato's and Kushina's wedding and once they had fallen the night of the Kyubi he had tried to take their son on. But he wasn't allowed but from the shadows he did as much as he could with helping the boy. He would make sure the boy had food and a roof over his head and money when he would need it. For the Hyuuga's managed several of the companies that Minato and Kushina had before they died and left to their son. Only several within the clan knew the truth and didn't see the boy as the beast but as the child cursed as they are with a seal that binds them. As he is bound to a beast they are bound to the main branch of their family.
Inside Naruto's Mindscape
The werefox virus had done some wonders to the mindscape as it changed it form a dank and dreary old sewer to a lush and beautiful forest as he worked on fixing the boys mind and making him more cunning an intelligent. Something he was going to need when he undergone his first full moon and transformation into a werefox.
The Kyubi was proud of himself for fixing the virus and making it more intelligent and cutting back on the primal menace that it would normally be. For his jailer to be behaving as a primal and mindless beast once he turn wouldn't work very well for either of them for the villagers would demand his death even more so then what they already do now. It was a wonder the boy ever made it out a live on his birthday. Even the Kyubi wasn't a miracle worker. It must have something to do with his mother's bloodline of being an Uzumaki for they have insane healing and then add in the Kyubi. The boy was almost immortal.
"You've done well with the boy." The Kyubi told the virus as the werefox stood before the great nine tail beast.
"I've only done as you have asked of me Master." Said the Werefox as it bowed to the mighty nine tails.
"The full moon is three nights from now. The boy shall be able to handle his first change?" Question the Kyubi for the beast did worry a little for his jailer for the child was still innocent even though he was forced to house him. He couldn't blame the boy for the burden that was thrust upon him just an hour after his birth.
"He shall be fine. During his first change he shall me use both. For he must become one with me. After he must face his darkness. For if he doesn't the curse could drive him mad with blood lust. Even though you have changed his hunger for more towards animals. It will not stop him from going on a killing spree. That is what has happened to other werewolves in the past. This is where you must step in and guide the child. For it is you're the one hold his true feelings and holding his anger and hatred for others within yourself." Said the werefox as he toke on a more human from as it stood on two legs and hits paws became more human.
"That shall be tricky for I know the child will be angry with me and focus all his anger and hate on me for a while." Said the Kyubi as he looked into the shadows of his cage as he saw the black hair from of his jailer sleeping with golden chains, wooden chains, and vines wrapped around him. Naruto has three bloodline that the Kyubi has sealed until he is ready for the boy to have them. But the time seems to be drawing near. For the boy will need them to face his darkness and to keep his were side at bay. This shall be a long night for the Kyubi for he was going to set to work to allow these bloodline to awaken while the child sleeps.
Naruto
Naruto had gotten home and put away what he had gotten from Chichi along with some sleeping clothes that he can change into. He had some orange basketball shorts he could put on with a black tank top. He didn't feel like wearing his sleeping clothes just yet and he needed to go over his homework he had missed the past three days.
Sitting down at his small kitchen table Naruto puts his book back down and pulls out his books and notebooks with the notes that Hinata had given him and all his homework for the week.
"Man this is going to take all night to do." Naruto whined to no one but himself.
Just then there was a knock at his door. Looking up from his notes Naruto stood up and walked over to his door.
On the other side of the door stood the 3rd Hokage along with Tsume Inuzuka and along with his personal Doctor Washu Hakubi. She looked to be about 13 years old but was in her 30's maybe older with long hot pink hair and lime green eyes. No one really knew for she stayed in what she called her chibi form. Some believed her to be part of the Uzumaki family for she was from the Hidden Whirlpool village, but she would never talk about her past. All she would say. "A lady has a right to her privacy." A leave it at that.
Naruto slowly open the door and peeks his head out to see the old man. "Hey old man." Said Naruto as he saw the others.
Sarutobi smiled. "Hello Naruto. Do you mind if we come in?" Asked Sarutobi as he stood before the two woman and looked Naruto dead in the eyes.
Naruto moved away from the door and opened it all the way. "Yeah sure. But sorry for the mess. I haven't cleaned it for a couple of days. For I have been sleeping for three days straight for I had a fever the other night." He told the old man and the two women with him.
Washu studied Naruto. "How did you feel with the fever Naruto-kun?" She asked him as she walked up to him putting her hand on his forehead.
Naruto blinked a couple of times before he answered. As he needed to think for a couple a seconds. "Well after I cleaned and bandage my bite mark. I got really dizzy and sleepy and my body felt really warm. Before I knew it. I had passed out on top of my bed and woke up three days later to Ino pounding on my door and during the time I was sleeping I some how stripped out of my clothing and grew." He told him.
For fact Naruto was no longer 4'9 but about 5'3 maybe a little talker. But Washu would need to take him to the hospital for a better checkup.
"I can see that Naruto-kun. You don't look as small as you used to be." Said Sarutobi as the young boy just glared at his grandfather figure.
"Not nice old man. Not nice at all." Said Naruto as he sat back down at the kitchen table looking at his homework that he was really wanting to get started and over and done with. "So what brings you all by?" He asks as he looks over at Tsume Inuzuka.
"I reported to the Hokage about the bite mark on your forearm and he wanted your personal doctor to look at it." Said Tsume as he looked over at Naruto's still bandage forearm.
Naruto looked down at his arm and slightly frowned. As he had forgotten about it.
"You know Naruto-kun you hurt my feelings for not coming and seeing me right away. You could have gotten really sick and I would have never known. You know where I live, and you could have come to my home. Someone would have gone and got me if I was at the hospital." Said Washu with a small pout as she was making her eyes all watery.
Naruto couldn't help but blush and look away from Washu for her antics always made him feel guilty and weird in some ways. He never knew why.
"I'm sorry Little Washu-chan." Said Naruto looking sheepishly at her as he rubbed the back of his head.
Washu grins as she walks up to Naruto pulling him into a hug barring his face into her sizable chest. "That's okay Naruto-kun. I forgive you this time." She tells him letting him go. "Now go sit down. So I can look at that bite mark on your forearm." She tells him as the others in the apartment sweat drop at her antics.
'Is she really a doctor?' Question Tsume to herself.
'Lucky little bastard. She never does that with me.' Pouted Sarutobi as he envy the young boy before him.
Elsewhere
Somewhere in the Land of Moon a man with long white hair looks over to the south to where the Land of Fire is. "Something tells me I am missing something very perverted and someone important to me is a very lucky bastard." He tells himself as he is spying on the girls at the nude beach for his latest book.
Back with Naruto
Washu pulls out a scroll and unrolls it and focuses her chakra into it as a medical bag pops out and next it a laptop computer appears with two small dolls that look like her standing on each side of it.
Tsume was a little creeped out by the dolls.
"Alright Naruto-kun put your arm on the table so I can look it over." Says Washu as she had moved his books and homework and placed a white cloth down and put on blue gloves. Naruto does as he is told as Washu removes his bandages and sees that the bite mark is fully healed, and only thing left is the teeth markings where the beast had bitten him. "Hmm." Said Washu as she looked it over and typed something on her computer and pulled a camera out of nowhere and took several pictures of it.
"Well it healed nicely, and it appears you will have scares for once in your life. Which is odd, for you have never scared before." Said Washu as she pulls out a needle and several tubes. She was going to need to take several blood samples to make sure he didn't have any infections or anything in his blood. "I need you to hold still so I can get some blood samples to make sure you don't get sick." She tells him as she cleans his arms and draws several tubes of blood.
The Kyubi watches from within the boy and pushes forth his bloodlines and hides the werefox virus from the odd Pink hair doctor. He didn't trust her as far as he could hit her with his nine tails. For her chakra felt old then his fathers. 'That damn women can be troublesome. For she isn't like all those other monkey's and I believe if anyone could find the werefox virus. She would be the one that could find it.' He thought to himself as the virus hid in his cage with him.
"There that didn't hurt to badly?" Asked Washu as she grinned at the boy before her.
Naruto just smiled at her. "Nah it was fine Little Washu." He tells her. "So can I get back to my homework or is there something else that you all needed?" He asked them.
Tsume looked at Naruto with a little worry in her eyes. "Did you see what bit you?" She asked the boy as the Hokage and Washu looked into his refrigerator in cupboards to make sure he had food to eat. All they found was Ramen. Washu frowned as well as the Hokage as he motion with his hand as a Neko ANBU appeared before him. "Neko could you go shopping for Naruto-kun and get him about two months' worth of food. For he is growing, and he is going to be eating more. So that will last him about two weeks maybe three." He tells her as he goes back to listening to Tsume and Naruto talking.
"It was dark and all I saw was glowing yellow eyes and a yip growl as it bit me and ran off as I screamed at it." Said Naruto as he looked down at his hands a little sheepishly.
Tsume nodded her head. "Thank you, Naruto." She tells him as she turns to the 3rd. "That's all I needed Lord Hokage." She tells her leader.
He needs to her. "Very well. Well Naruto-kun we will take our leave and Neko will be returning shortly with some supplies for you. If you need anything else just let me know." He tells the young boy as he nods and goes back to his homework as the others let themselves out.
"I need to get to the hospital to run all these test to see what brought on that fever on. For that is not common with him." Said Washu as she was now frowning and had a hard look on her face as she was thinking and biting her thumb as she sunk into the ground with a pink swirl.
The Hokage just nodded his head as he walked back to the Hokage tower. He didn't feel like getting there quickly. He just wanted to enjoy the cool October night air as he figured he would finish a little bit of paperwork as he knew Washu would have a report to him very soon.
Okay kits until the next time.
Naruto will have his first full moon and meet his tendent along with his new tendent. As well who will win the darkness or the light?
Please go to my profile and vote and add suggestions and I'll add it to the polls and I will close it by the 5th or 6th chapter for them I will start with pairings I think.
