Sorry for the long wait between chapter.
Thank you for the reviews for the las chapter.
Chapter 16
Choji and Sere both had an icy chill run though their bodies. Choji wrapped a blanket around himself as Ino just looked at him a little weird. 'Okay…' Thought Ino as she turned away as she went back to the training scroll, she was given to her to study while the others were out.
Asuma saw Choji wrap up and slowly raised an eyebrow to this. Kurenai fallowed his line of sight to his chubby student. "He must be catching a cold or something." She told Asuma.
Asuma shook his head and looked back at her. "No, he only gets this way when Alucard or Naruto are planning something for him." He said as he just sighed.
"What do you mean?" Asked Kurenai.
Shino walked over his sensei. "Alucard-san has been talking about creating a large cannon that he carries on his shoulder when he fires it. I believe Alucard-san has said something about the one he calls 'Police Girl' used to use one, while in battle." He told his Sensei.
Her crimson eye widens while she looked over at the poor boy. "They wouldn't allow it?" Asked Kurenai.
"Honestly, I believe it will be allowed. My father has signed off on these strange new weapon training that my whole team has been going though as well as your student Hinata as she trains with Naruto after our teams leave after we finish for the day." Said Asuma as he stood up and took his pack of cigarettes.
Shino nodded his head and turn to see Kiba sleeping on the floor next to Akamaru as they both drooled on the scroll under their heads. Shino just sighed and went to sit near Ino as she grabbed a larger scroll off the coffee table and made her way over to Kiba.
From outside of Tsunami's house. You could see birds and animals move away from the home quickly from the screams of a boy and his puppy.
"WHAT THE HELL INO!" Screamed Kiba as he rubbed his head from where she hit him at. Ino smirked down at him. "That is what you get you little mutt." She told him.
Team Alucard
Naruto and the others look ahead of them as they saw all the animals and birds rushing their way. As well they heard a loud scream. Naruto and Hinata both grinned at each other.
"Troublesome." Said Shikamaru as he let out a large yawn.
"What was that?" Asked Haku as he looked at his three makeshift teammates.
"That was Kiba screaming from Ino hitting him for doing something stupid." Said Naruto as she smiled.
"Oh." Said Haku as he didn't know what to think. 'Should I be afraid of them?' He thought to himself.
"You have taught them well Alucard." Said Father Anderson as he walked along side Alucard as they watched the children laugh and talk. "You have kept them from becoming monsters like us." He said as he turns back to look back at the children.
Alucard grinned. "I only had a small hand in their training. Some of them had their family to teach them or a father/brother figure to train them in the way of a Shinobi. But sadly, my little Naruto had no one to train her. What she knows was mostly learn on the fly and running for her life for the past 13 years. Well until she woke me and Sir Integra up." He said with a grin.
Father Anderson's eyes widen hearing what Alucard told him about Naruto. "That little blonde hair girl?" He asked as he pointed to the girl.
"Yes." Was all Alucard.
"What could a little Angel like her could be hated." Asked Anderson.
"Naruto! Come back here for a minute." Called Alucard.
Naruto looked over her right shoulder to her grandpa and smiled at Hinata and whispered to her about something and ran back to the two men. "Yeah grandpa? You need something?" She asked him.
Alucard looked down at her from under his sunglasses. "Father Anderson would like to know why you are hated and why you didn't have a clan training you as you grow up." He told her as he kept his evil smirk.
She looked down to her feet as she walked. Anderson began to feel guilty about how Alucard had told her to explain something that appeared to be very painful. But he was pulled from his thoughts as he saw her slowly raise her head to look at him.
"The day I was born my parents were attacked by some weird in a mask. He threatens to kill me to just get to my mother." Said Naruto as she held her hand up to stop him from asking any questions. But she didn't know that her makeshift team was listening as well.
"When my father took me to safety the masked man pulled the Kyubi No Kitsune out of her belly. I know what you are thinking. What his this Kyubi thing? Right?" Asked Naruto as Father Anderson just nodded his head. She just smiled at him.
"Well he is a Demon Fox made of pure chakra that was forced to attack the village and killed hundreds of villagers and shinobi alike. My father was able to save the villagers and take the fox out of the village and seal it away in a living person. But it the only ones strong enough to hold the 9-tail fox is a Uzumaki and a new born for has their chakra coils still growing and developing and it wouldn't stress their system like it would an adult just blow theirs up." Said Naruto as she looked at Father Anderson as he looked to be tearing up.
"During the sealing my mother and father both gave up their lives to stop the Kyubi from stabbing me with his claws. After I was found a law was past to not speak a word about what I holed within myself. Hell, I didn't even know about it until I was about 5 or 6 years old. I felt better after I learned my secret and the other secrets about my parents and my clan. For one of those secrets saved my life." Said Naruto with a huge smile. This was one of her true smiles that made it to her eyes.
"By My Heavenly Father God. How could they do something like that to you?" Asked Father Anderson.
"There was no one else to take my place and my momma was to weak from giving birth and have Kurama ripped out of her. She couldn't live though a resealing. But I don't blame them. I am honored they trusted me with Kurama and keeping the village and her people safe." Said Naruto as she hugged Alucard as he wrapped an arm around her and placed his other hand on her head.
"My little Vixen you have made your whole family proud. If you listen to the evening breeze you can hear your family cheering for you and telling you, they love you." Said Alucard as he kissed the top of her head. "This child is meant for great things."
Naruto's blue eyes turned crimson as she looked at Father Anderson. "You old Priest I am old then yourself, but my siblings and I have kept well-hidden for a very long time. But, when the age of shinobi came about, we wanted to come out and play like all the other demons. Unlike them we did not make summons contracts with these little humans. We just wanted to live and play and do what we wanted to. But people get greedy and figured out how to catch us and seal us away in humans to use them as weapons. Do not get me wrong. This little girl will never be used or seen as a weapon as long as I live." Said Kurama as he faded away.
"Well that was fun." Said Alucard as he let go of Naruto as she softly blushed at everyone as they stopped and looked at the others.
"Ha-ha ha-ha. I guess the fox is out of the bag." Said Naruto as she shifted her wait from foot to foot. Trying to hide her nerviness from the others.
"Why don't you wait till we are back with the others. Then explain everything." Said Shikamaru as he lazily yawned.
"That would be g-good." Said Hinata as she hugged Naruto.
"You're not scared of me?" Asked Naruto.
"Troublesome girl. Why would we fear someone who keeps us safe day in and day out?" Asked Shikamaru as he opened a lazy eye to the blonde before him.
"W-well because I have a demon within me." She told him.
"So, what? Your grandparents are vampires. So, you are having a demon within you isn't something so major or shocking at this point." He told the girl.
"Well he is a keeper." Said Father Anderson as he smirked at the two teens.
Both teens blushed brightly as they looked down to the floor. Hinata and Haku giggled behind their hands at the two young love birds.
"Troublesome. Lets just get back so we can get cleaned up and get some rest and maybe look at all the deeds and stuff we took form that little troll." Said Shikamaru as he yawned trying to cover up his blush.
"Yeah, lets go. I want this blood off me and I want to get in my soft pjs." Said Naruto.
Everyone just laughed at the blonde girl's antics.
After awhile the small group could see the lake next to Tazuna's house. "Yay, we finally made it!" Cried Naruto as she run up to the front door.
Just as she ran to the door. It slowly opens as Asuma came out of the open door to see a blood covered blonde hair blob running towards them. "What the hell?" He questioned as Naruto run up to him.
"Hey Asuma sensei. I'm going to take a shower." Said Naruto as she ran past her sensei. "Umm…okay Naruto?" He said as he watched her ran past.
"Hey Sensei." Said Shikamaru as he walked up to his sensei.
"Shikamaru!" He said surprised to the lazy Nara heir.
"Yeah its me sensei. The mission just got a little messy. But we completed the mission in flying colors." Shikamaru told Asuma as he sat down on the front steps.
Kurenai come out the open door to find the others of the rag tag makeshift team. "Was that bloody blonde blob Naruto?"
"Yes sensei. We finally made it back." Said Hinata as she bows down to her sensei.
Zabuza and the others walked out the door. Zabuza walked up to Haku and looked the boy over to make sure he was alright. To the shock of the others he pulled the boy into a hug. "I'm glade you made it back okay." He told his son.
"What happen to you guys?" Asked Ino as she looked at the others sitting outside.
Haku looked up at Zabuza. "I finally made my first kill. But I feel like crap. I didn't want to do it." He said as he looks down in shame.
Zabuza placed his hand on the boy's shoulder. "Kid don't worry about it. I am glad you are feeling that way. If you took pleasure in killing those thugs. Then I would be worried about you and I would make you give up this life style for you would become a cold-blooded killer…... like myself." He told the boy.
Tears slowly started to leak out of his eyes as Haku hugged Zabuza. Zabuza just hugged him tighter. "Its okay kiddo. Don't worry about it." He told Haku.
Hinata and Shikamaru both smile and nod their heads as they looked over to their respected Sensei's. "We both feel the same way as how Haku and Naruto feel about what happen last night. We now understand what chooses you make ever time you leave the village on missions. We also know that if we cross that line. There would be no turning back and it would be the day someone would put us down like the bandits we killed." Said Hinata and Shikamaru as they turn to look up at the house before them where they heard Naruto scream and laugh at the same time.
"Ahh…" Scream Naruto as she stepped into a cold shower. She began to laugh as she fell on her ass. "Man, I must be more tried then what I thought." She told herself as her clone walked into the bathroom with clean clothes and a large fluffy towel that she packed with her from home. "Here you go boss." Said the Clone as she puffed away.
Naruto slowly stood up as she hung her head down watching the blood slowly melt off with the warm water. Slowly she raised her hand up to her face. Her blue eyes trembled as she looked down at her right hand as blood slowly mixed with the clear water. Slowly the water turns pink from the crimson color and finally turning clear.
"Kit are you alright?" Asked Kurama as he pushed his gate open.
"I don't know. I'm scared. I don't want to become a blood thirsty killer." Said Naruto as she talked out loud. She figures everyone would know the truth soon why hide it.
"Kit don't worry about it. You would never be a cold-blooded killer. Also, you have me within you. I you never allow you down that horrible road. For you have seen Alucard, he is what you would become if you enjoyed killing people." Said Kurama as he slowly faded from Naruto's mindscape.
"I never wanted to kill anyone. The only time I told myself I would ever kill is when someone I care for or love is in danger. Or someone innocent needs protecting, and I would only kill if it was the only choose, I had." Said Naruto as she began to cry.
Warm furry arms wrapped around her. "I know kit. You are a gentle soul that was never met for this type of world. Your soul is special, you are the one our father spoke to highly about for eons. The Child of light that will give this enfural world true and ever lasting peace." Said Kurama as Naruto looked up at him. He had a soft caring smile on his lips and Naruto just hugged him tighter and cried for a while.
"Thank you Kurama. I don't know what I would do without you by my side." Said Naruto.
"I know kit. I know." Said Kurama as he slowly began to fade away and reappear back in her mindscape.
After another 20 minutes Naruto finished her shower and dried off and got dressed. Finally, she wrapped her hair in her big fluffy towel. She took her damaged and bloody clothes and put them in the bag her clone had brought for her. "What should I do with these?" She asked herself as she walked out of the bathroom and down the stairs to the others.
"About time you're done up there." Said Ino as she was brushing Haku's hair while Hinata and Shikamaru sat in clean clothes and damp hair looking at the girl with smiles.
"Sorry about that. I didn't mean to hog the bathroom to myself." Said Naruto as she blushes.
"Its okay Naruto. Tsunami had three other bathrooms for us to use." Said Hinata with a smile.
Shikamaru open his lazy left eye looked over at Naruto in her black pjs with little orange foxes all over them. He just smirked at her. Naruto softly blushed as she felt Shikamaru staring at her
She walked over where she is propped up next to the couch and sat right behind him. Kiba was on the floor napping with Akamaru next to him. Alucard and Father Anderson walked into the house from outside as they had been talking with Asuma, Kurenai, and Zabuza. He explains to them that Naruto secret was out and that the fox added his own two cents as well.
Naruto playful tapped Shikamaru with her foot on the back of his head. He leaned up a little and looked back at the smiling girl as he took her foot and began tickling her. Naruto began giggling and trying to kick him away. "Stop that!" She said between giggles.
"Not going to happen." He told her with a smirk. As he grabbed her other foot and she tried to kick herself free.
"Well it looks like you two are getting along nicely." Said Alucard with a toothy grin. The two jumped apart and Naruto used a pillow to hide behind. AS Shikamaru fell over Kiba.
"Hey! What the hell?" Yelled Kiba as he was rudely awakened.
"Settle down Kiba." Said Kurenai Sensei. Kiba nodded his head as Shikamaru sat up and held his hand out for Kiba to sit up. "I'm sorry Kiba. It was an accident." He told Kiba.
"Yeah whatever. Its fine man I don't care." Said Kiba as he took the other boy's hand and sat up.
Zabuza just laughed as he over to the couch and flopped down next to Naruto and Hinata.
"Good everyone is awake. Now listen well to what I'm about to say." Said Alucard as all eyes went to the Ancient Vampire. He looked over at Naruto and nodded his head to the girl.
Naruto sat up and nodded her head as she took a deep breath. As all eyes turned to the girl. She fidgeted in her spot as she tried to calm her nerves.
"Well to be blunt. I have the 9-tail demon Fox is sealed within me. The Fourth Hokage couldn't kill him like it was written in our history books. It was a lie the adults came up with. Before you ask why none of us where told. Well it was kept from me as well the 3rd Hokage past a law not to tell the children that where too young to remember that day or wasn't born yet." Said Naruto as she looked at everyone.
"So that explains all those hateful looks the adults gave you in the village." Said Kiba as he just laughed off what he was told.
"That also explains why my father always told me to be careful about my insects drawing too much energy from you." Said Shino.
"As well as my father told me to never mind walk you. No matter what to never do it." Said Ino as she smiles at Naruto. "But you know these doesn't change the fact that you are my team mate and friend. You know, that right?" She asked her friend/teammate.
Naruto smiled at her with tears in her eyes. "Thank you Ino that means a lot to me." She told the girl.
"Troublesome girl. You are our friend Naruto. Not the 9-tail fox. We know the difference between a sealing scroll and kunai that is sealed within it." Said Shikamaru as he placed his hand on her leg, Making Naruto blush even more.
"It makes since really. Just think about it. She has chakra levels that are Jonin or higher. Also, don't forget she is an Uzumaki and the last Uzumaki to hold that fox was Kushina Uzumaki the Red-Hot Demoness." Said Zabuza as he looked at the others in the room.
"True." Said Kurenai as she smiled at her students and the others in the room that took the news very well.
"Well enough about me and my tenanted." Said Naruto as she was shrinking behind her pillow once more.
"Sensei with the mission now over. What do we do now?" Asked Ino as she looked around the room.
"We still have to go thought all the items we took from that little troll and the bandit camps." Said Alucard as he four temporary students brought out all the scrolls, they had brought back with them. All together there was 6 large scrolls the size of the forbidden scroll. But sealed within them was thousands of scrolls with many things.
They spent the whole day until midnight going though all the scrolls along with about 100 Naruto clones aiding them to speed things up. There was a 7th large scroll but Alucard kept that one to himself for it had things no one in the room could understand very well in this day and time.
Naruto looked over at her grandfather as he watched with calculating eyes. He took items from the other scrolls when strange things appeared, or he found something that Integra would like.
All the Deeds that belong to the Land of Wave where return to their rightful owners or the kin to the former owner if they had killed during Gato's dealings in their homeland.
It had been one week since Teams 10 and 8 had came to the Land of Waves and Alucard had began to feel a strange pull to the east end of the island. So, one morning he walked up to Tazuna. "Say Tazuna what is east of this Island?" He asked.
Tazuna looked up at the tall Vampire before him. "That would be The Land of Uzu, or what is left of it." He told Alucard.
Alucard arched an eyebrow to this. "Really? I have not been there in a very long time." He said as he looked over at Naruto who was helping along side her clones to finish building the bridge.
"Naruto." Called Alucard. This made the others stop what they are doing and look over at the red clad man.
"Yeah Grandpa?" Called back Naruto as she stopped working and her clones vanished one at a time every few minutes so not to over whelm the girl. She ran over to her grandfather to see what he wanted from her. Secretly she was hoping that he would take her for some training.
"We will be heading to The Land of Whirlpools in the next two days." Said Alucard as walked off the bridge.
Asuma and Zabuza fallowed after Alucard. "Alucard-sama. Please wait." Called Asuma as he ran after the vampiric man.
Alucard stopped in his tracks and looked over his shoulder back at the two men. "Yes?" He asked.
"Alucard-sama why are you taking Naruto to the Land of Whirlpool?" Asked Asuma as Zabuza stood next to him.
"Because the Land of Whirlpools was once my ancient homeland. Well before the great earthquake that changed the landscapes once more. But it is also Naruto's clan's homeland and I want to see if my old tomb has been found." Said Alucard as he began walking once more. "Don't worry. Everyone is more than welcome to tag along. The bridge should be finished by tonight. Also, Naruto needs to rest." He said before vanishing into the shadows.
"Strange man." Said Zabuza as he turned back to head back to the bridge to talk to Naruto. He saw something in her and wanted to train her as a swordswoman as well as the Hyuuga girl.
Once the two men return to the bridge, they saw Naruto sitting under a tree. She looked a little pale. Asuma ran over to the girl. "Naruto are you okay?" He asked.
She looked up at him with a small smile. "Yeah I'm alright. The last of my clones popped at once giving me a headache and made me a little sick." She told her Sensei.
Asuma sighed in relief. "Why don't you just rest for the rest of the day. You have been working very hard lately and you need to take it easy." He told her.
"Are you sure about me taking it easy?" Asked Naruto as she looked down at her hands.
"Kid you need to rest as well." Said Zabuza as he sat down next to her. "One must know when their body needs to rest and when you need to keep moving. This is a time you need to rest and take it easy. You have been though a lot in your life and for once just think about your own need of rest and just sleep." He told her.
She looked up at Zabuza and slowly nodded her head to him. "Alright I'll rest today." She told him.
Shikamaru and the others walked over to Naruto with a picnic basket. "Hey Naruto. Are you feeling hungry?" Asked Shikamaru as he sat down next to her.
She smiled up at him. "Yeah I'm starving." She told him with a goofy smile.
I'm leaving off here. The next chapter will be the trip to the Land of Whirlpool and we will find out what are little black cloak red cloud wearing little troublemakers are up to.
