Dark Revelations
The room was buzzing with chatter as they ate the meal that was laid before them. In the central room sat a large communal table laid out with a large variety of foods.
Kushina was gushing over how awesome her baby was much to Tsunade amusement. Jiraiya was attempting to lay low while working upon the notes that he had already taken.
The kage however were in deep discussion on how this would affect the way things would go. It was clear that in that world the weapon mix had changed drastically and that even a simple civilian armed with those weapons would make a Shinobi obsolete. True there were situations that would still require the skill set but it would be much rarer than it was now. There was also the fact that this alone proves that there were forces making moves within the villages on their own volition.
Plans needed to be made and put into action in order to protect their people from the machinations.
Naruto's class mates were gathered together talking amongst themselves. Looking at the past and trying to see how things could have been if his education and training had not been sabotaged. It was a scary thought for them.
"Now that I think about it he was constantly thrown out of class for things that would not have if it had been us." Ino said holding her chin in thought. The others all looked at her while remembering their academy days. Him being asked a question that barely any of them knew and being thrown out for not being able to answer it. Him being punished for not being able to do a bun shin.
"Now that I think about it why can he not do a clone but be able to throw shadow clones around as if they are candy" asked Kiba with a look of confusion on his face. Luckily for them someone who knew the answer was sitting near them and over heard.
"It is because he is an Uzumaki" said Kushina with a slightly pained smirk as she herself had the same issue and it was infuriating that none of the teachers noticed until later.
"What do you mean?" asked Sakura as politely as she could, the woman was after all the fourths wife.
"Well the Uzumaki blood line is more passive than active." she started getting nods of understanding from some as they understood that there were such bloodlines. They tended to go unnoticed on the wider scheme of things but they existed.
"The main things that it grants is enhanced healing, improved life force, massive chakra reserves. There are a couple of others but they are much rarer within the clan. One thing it does is gives us a more flexible mind, This is due to our affinity for seals." Shikamaru nodded in understanding as it would explain Naruto's affinity for on the fly plans.
"The reason the basic clones do not work is that he could not lower his output low enough to make them work." This got a look of shock from those around them. The third having heard the chat decided to join.
"Naruto had more chakra than myself on his first day in the academy." said Hiruzen getting a wave of silence at his statement luckily a chime sounded that let them know to return to the viewing.
Chapter 5
Budapest, Lycan Den
Ildi returned to the hidden Lycan Den to submit her report to Lucien. She'd already reported over the phone that Ambrus was dead at the hands of Shǒuwèi and expected some flak from his little harem of fan girls…she had no idea. The five of them jumped her and pulled Ildi into a side room before she could even report to her immediate superior, Raze. "You are the reason Ambrus is dead bitch!" shrieked the oldest one Margit who was around 300 years old.
This got some raised eyebrows. While it was not uncommon within the elemental nations for harems to happen, it was not exactly common either. That sort of situation was usually only for the nobility at the daimios court.
It was uncommon enough for most in the room to look at a certain clan for explanation. Kiba could only silently thank kami when his mother, tsume decided to field this one.
"Pack mentality" she said getting more raised eyebrows. This caused her to explain further. "Within the pack there are different ranks, the alphas or leaders both male and female. In the case of the males they usually gain the attention of multiple females due to them being seen as being able to create strong pups." she said.
The others nodded as for a feralistic clan such a thing would make sense. Even outside of clans contract marriages were made to gain strength just not always the same kind.
"These are essentially a pack within a pack. They still answer to the pack leader but are still there own entity. Meaning they will defend from what is seen as aggression." continued Tsume.
The shinobi could see where this was going as from what had been shown they also would seek out for revenge for the harm done to their group. It would make holding together a den as it seemed to be called a tough task.
"We're going to tear you apart you little brat!" screamed another. All five of them transformed into their full lycan forms with every intention of putting the younger lycan girl down for good. A huge commotion was raised when the sounds of screaming, growling and howling ripped through the den as Ildi faced five older and stronger lycan women. Ildi really knew how to fight well using what strength she had but there simply was no way she could survive this…
This got some looks of shock from the younger generation. They knew that things could get heated within Kiba clan but this was taking it a bit far.
Raze heard the noise of a fight and rushed down there to see what idiots were fighting and to break it up. A couple of pack members informed him that Ambrus' harem had attacked Ildi so he went to go in and save the young tracker. The metal door was bolted though and Raze heard a shriek over the others that was clearly Ildi's voice. 'Damn; Ildi could be seriously hurt. It sounds like a death match in going on in there.' The big lycan decided time was of the essence and chose to force the door…
The last thing Raze expected was to see one of Ambrus' girlfriends come crashing out through the cement wall beside the metal door. He heard Ildi's angry voice growl, "You little whores should never have fucked with this bitch!" Raze looked at the one laying in the hallway (He thought her name was Katarina. It was kind of hard to tell which one it was with all the blood). The lycan woman looked more dead than alive. He heard the leader of Ambrus' harem Margit whimper, "P-please n-no more Ildi. W-we're really sorry!" Margit had already reverted back into her human form and was pleading for mercy.
This caused Tsume to nod. The girl would now be classed as an alpha due not only to her ability in tracking, a highly sought skill, but also due to her strength at what she can only assume is very young for the pack.
Tsunade however had other thoughts. The girl herself thought it would be the end of her but here she was still standing. The only thing that she could think of that would possibly be the cause was the meat that she had ate earlier as it was already stated that the kitsune blood was extremely powerful. This however just brought up more questions.
"You bitches try to KILL me and you say you're SORRY?!" roared Ildi. "I'll slaughter you all!"
Raze came in through the hole in the cement wall and saw Ildi covered in blood, claw marks and bite marks. It was painfully obvious they'd tried to kill her. He also saw that Ildi was regenerating at an incredible rate. Steam seemed to be coming from her wounds as they healed in an instant. Raze saw Margit was the only one still able to move and she was badly mangled. The woman had her left arm bent at an impossible angle and she was ripped to shreds. Ildi flexed her hands and said in a tone that would freeze hell, "I'll paint the wall with you Margit. You fucking bitch."
Margit whimpered in fear and tried to curl into a ball to protect her vitals. Raze said in a commanding growl, "Stop it right now Ildi!" as he grabbed her from behind with his tremendous strength to restrain the young tracker.
"Let go of me Raze!" raged Ildi. "I'm going to give this cunt what she's got coming to her!"
Tsunade sighed as she had just put something together. "Tsume is this why there are a high level of injuries from your clan? The ones labelled as disciplinary action?" asked the medic only to get looks of embarrassment from the Inuzuka.
"Sort of but not as extensive as this, mostly just egos clashing leading to a fight." Admitted the matriarch of the clan. While it was a known thing that the Inuzuka clan had a lot of young and brash members it was not known how the discipline was maintained within the clan so that they did not cause issues for the village. So this was revealing a lot to those within the room. Kushina however just burst out laughing seeing the sheepish look upon her friends face. This only got louder when she received a glare from the woman.
Raze found he had his hands full with the raging girl. 'Since when did she had such incredible strength?!' he thought wide eyed. Raze was really struggling to keep Ildi from slaying Margit and Ildi wasn't even transformed into her lycan state. Raze yelled, "Calm down Ildi! Lucien will deal with these five. Them trying to kill a pack mate is a serious offence!" The big lycan felt immense relief when Ildi's body finally relaxed.
Ildi hissed to the trembling Margit, "You'd better pray that Lucien doesn't let me do the punishing bitch. I'll make you begfor death!" From Raze's point of view he couldn't see that Margit was staring in fear at Ildi's red, slitted eyes that had faded back to brown when she calmed down. Raze nudged Ildi out towards the hole in the wall and the younger lycan obeyed. Outside they saw Lucien with a stern look on his face. He had already seen how bad Katarina was wrecked and he wasn't happy.
Raze said, "I need to take Ildi to Doc Singe. Ambrus' harem tried to slay her."
Lucien looked at the blood covered state his most talented tracker was in and said, "Take her to Singe while I sort this mess out. I'll talk to you to get your report later Ildi."
….
"A good pack leader" said Tsume getting a nod from her son. Letting things like that go without some form of punishment would only be a signal of weakness and a sign that would be taken by the ambitious that they could challenge for leadership.
It was something that was a major difference between the Inuzuka and the other clans. They used a birthright system where as the Inuzuka head could be challenged.
Ördögház Mansion
Soren woke up in pain and noticed several things. First; he was in an interrogation chamber in just his skivvies and restrained with chains. Second he noticed that his right hand was indeed missing and had been cauterized. He had really hoped that had just been a nightmare. Then he saw several Death Dealers were and preparing various torture instruments and he (very unfortunately for him) was well aware of exactly what they could do from torturing others in the past. Lastly he saw a very much alive Elder Marcus as well as Naruto Corvinus who was standing and talking quietly to Selene. Marcus's electric blue eyes locked with Soren's dark blue ones and the head of Kraven's guard began to shake and sweat involuntarily. "H-how are you alive Elder Marcus?! I saw you die!"
"Well some one is having a bad day" said a chuckling Jiraiya, this got a series of chuckles through out the room as that was an understatement. Just the fact that a man he thought was dead was standing in front of him alive made things bad. Minato could not help but chuckle at this as he had seen it happen before.
Marcus growled, "Funny thing about that Soren. You see Naruto, my younger brother, fooled you with an illusion as to even where I was. I was on the other side of the room while you shot holes in the wall."
Soren looked at Naruto and noticed the two brothers' eyes matched exactly. He felt a cold fear of realization creep up his spine. "B-brothers?" Soren choked out.
Naruto nodded and said, "You're going to tell us everything you know Soren." His hand ignited with blue fox fire and Soren started to shake in terror. "As amusing as all these sharp and pointy metal objects are, I think burning you alive will be far more entertaining. When I'm through with you I guarantee you'll be praying for death to take you in its cold embrace…"
"Oh, I am liking this version of the gaki!" exclaimed Anko to the amusement of those within the room. The fact that she was a well known member of the torture and interrogation department who had a reputation for sadism only made the unsaid point more pointed.
…
Soren had screamed his head off for hours and in the process and told every dark secret he knew about Kraven's dealings with Lucien over the centuries. Amelia and Marcus were shocked as he confessed to one thing after another while begging Naruto for mercy. Every vampire in the room except Selene cringed whenever Naruto made his fox fire appear. Soren soon revealed Naruto's theory that Kraven claimed all the glory in exchange for Lucien sparing his pathetic life was true. He also revealed that the Vampire-Lycan war started because of Viktor breeding the lycans as slaves.
He even admitted to playing a part in Sonja's horrible death as well as that of her unborn hybrid child with Lucien. Just out of spite Soren said to Selene, "And you are the biggest fool of all Selene! Viktor himself slaughtered your family to keep them from ever revealing the place of William's prison. He couldn't bear to kill you because you reminded him so much of Sonja. You've been loyally slaughtering lycans for years for the very man that killed your own family!"
At first there were raised eyebrows at how effective the Kitsunes methods were. This however soon changed to growls as this victor man was reminding those from konoha far to much of Danzo for their liking.
Selene's eyes turned bright blue and she hissed, "You lie! Viktor would never-"
"Kraven and I were there Selene!" yelled Soren. "Viktor tore your family apart like cattle. He gave Kraven and I high status to keep his dirtiest little secret. He wanted you to hate lycans so you would never follow in Sonja's footsteps! Viktor used you Selene and you were his willing puppet!"
Selene started to feel her world crumble…somewhere in the back of her mind she knew Soren was too terrified of Naruto to lie about such a thing…
Tsunade could not help but feel sympathy for the girl as her own world had crumbled in a similar fashion after her lovers death. It was not the same thing but it was close enough that she could relate.
…
Lycan Den
Singe was waiting for Ildi to get out of the shower so he could examine her body for injuries. The lycan girl should have been crippled and had so much blood on her that Singe needed her to wash off so he could see where to start working. She soon came out and was drying off with a towel while Singe examined her thoroughly. Seeing Ildi looked good as new the lycan scientist said, "This changes everything. Get dressed Ildi."
Raze looked puzzled, "What do you mean Singe? Is Ildi going to be okay?"
Ildi was in her panties and a tank top and Singe said, "Give me your arm Ildi." Ildi was still a bit grumpy but held out her arm only for Singe to grab her wrist, hold it down and slit her forearm with a scalpel. It was a deep cut too.
There was a shout of shock within the room at the man doing such a thing. The fact that she had a healing factor temporarily fleeing their minds. The medics however despite frowning at the way he had went about it could see why. The girl had been in a death match not long before but now she was perfectly healed. This was something that they themselves would have investigated, only in a different way. Though from what they were seeing of the medical bay that had been showing was closer to a field hospital than an actual hospital.
"What the hell motherfucker?!" screeched Ildi as she effortlessly tossed Singe off her wrist and made him bounce off the wall.
This caused the Shinobi to chuckle as it was not an unknown reaction for a shinobi to instinctually throw punches at medics. It was why when being treated most shinobi tended to get strapped down to the bed.
"Owww…." said Singe as he sat up. Seeing the girl glaring at him ferociously he said, "Look at your forearm and watch Ildi." Ildi looked at her arm and saw steam rising from the wound as it healed up in seconds. Her eyes grew wide as the pain vanished along with the wound. Singe gave her a wet wash cloth and said, "Wipe the blood off."
After Ildi cleaned her arm off of her she saw perfect, unblemished skin without the slightest scar and stared. "….W-what the hell?" she whispered.
"That's what I'd like to know." said Singe as he rubbed his head. "Your healing is almost to the point of regeneration and you threw me across the room with a flick of the wrist like I was nothing."
Her brown eyes gleamed dangerously. "You cut me open! What the hell did you expect?!"
This got murmurs of agreement from the combat squads especially Kushina, she hated needles. The medics however just huffed in irritation.
Singe sat down still rubbing his bruised noggin. "My point is; your physical strength has massively increased Ildi….You were never a weakling but having five older and stronger lycan women attack you was impossible odds. The wounds you incurred on your body were one hundred percent lethal. There is no reason on earth that you should have survived. Instead the five of them are beaten nearly todeath and you never even transformed into your lycan state when they did. Even more to the point you don't have a scratch on you so that means you were already healing from potentially lethal wounds while you were fighting them. You threw Katarina through acement wall. It will be weeks before she can regenerate from that kind of damage. Margit is the only one that's not in so much pain that she's fully coherent and she fears for her life! What happened out there on your mission Ildi? I'm trying to come up with a theory but this is beyond belief."
"That does sound like Naruto, he has only ever been down for over a day when his injuries were lethal to others." said Tsunade getting a nod of agreement from Shizune. This got wide eyes from the others as the only time that they could remember him being down that long was after the retrieval mission. If what the hokage was saying was true then that means that if anyone else had went after sasuke they would likely have died. This alone made many in the room to frown in thought about the Uchiha.
"I'd be interested in hearing about that too Ildi." said Lucien as he entered the room. "Raze said it took all his strength to hold you back and he is among our strongest. Whatever happened to you could be a huge help to us against the vampires."
Ildi sat there looking a bit confused and then said, "Maybe it was that were-fox meat I gorged myself on that Naruto gave me. Even though I was really hurt badly after I ate it I felt like new."
"Were-fox?" asked Singe in total confusion.
"Well, I call them were-foxes but Naruto told me their actually called kitsune." said Ildi as she tied her hair back in a low tail. "Huh? My hair seems so much softer."
Singe said, "Strip and transform into your lycan state."
"WHAT!" screeched out the women in the room in a fit of feminine fury. They were so mad that none of them noticed a certain sage slip out his note pad and pencil.
Ildi growled but did as she was told and the three males watched as the beautiful girl changed into her lycan form. They were all dumbfounded. She had more of a medium brown colouration now and her face and muzzle seemed to have more slender fox like features. Her eyes were slitted and red. She wasradiant. "What the fuck?" she whispered looking at her colouration and softer, sleeker fur. "Wait a minute, since when can I talk transformed?" She sounded afraid. "What happened to me Singe?" Her voice had a growling but strangely feminine tone to it.
Singe said, "I believe you've become some sort of a were-fox/lycan hybrid Ildi; but that's just a guess."
Lucien looked at the beautiful girl and said, "Tell us what happened on that mission Ildi. Naruto Corvinus may be the Father of a whole new breed of immortals."
"I swear sometimes that brat is more trouble than he is worth" groaned out Tsunade at Naruto and his habit of doing the impossible. The fact that the boys mother was glaring holes through the back of her head had been promptly ignored.
Ildi went to change back and Singe said. "Stay in that form Ildi, I want to see if there are any other major physiological differences"
The young tracker huffed. "Dirty old man! Judging by the look in your eyes I'd say you're more interested in checking me out."
Singe laughed. "Actually the fact you look like a walking wet dream is a great bonus."
Ildi growled and blushed all the way through her fur…
Some of the males in the room could not help but chuckle at the doctors comment. The glares from the women in the room promptly shut them all up however.
…
Ördögház Mansion
Selene was sitting on her bed in her room feeling shattered inside. Her very soul was crying. The tears simply would not stop. Her saviourViktor who she held on a pedestal above all others had betrayed her in the worst way possible. Marcus went so far as to absorb some of Soren's blood to see the memories and confirmed it was all true. Naruto was sitting beside Selene holding her as she sobbed quietly into his coat. Naruto kissed her forehead and she looked up at him with sadness welling up in her eyes. Selene slowly reached up and touched his cheek before she gave him a deep, intimate kiss that held all her feelings for him in that instant. 'Naruto…I can trust him more than anybody…' she thought. Selene whispered, "Naruto, please take all of my pain away."
Naruto nodded and passionately returned her kiss before he started running his hands over her breasts and hips. He slowly, gently undressed her as he kissed her body all over in places she'd never been touched that way before. She gasped in pleasure as he feasted between her legs and drove her completely over the edge. She laid there panting as he lapped up her essence and then sat up to admire her. Naruto teased her ivory skin in the low light with his hands as he admired how radiant she was in the heat of the moment. Naruto whispered, "You are so beautiful my Selene."
Naruto soon entered her for the first time and found that she was incredibly tight around him. He kissed her again as she wrapped her legs tightly around his waist and buried him to the hilt in her moist heat. She tasted his lips again and said, "You feel so good Naruto." Their kisses grew more and more passionate as they progressed and Naruto felt himself losing his mind. Every soft sound she made was like the call of siren to him. Naruto and Selene found themselves more tangled physically and emotionally with every thrust. Selene was beginning to wonder where she ended and Naruto began…
Selene was a mystery to Naruto and the more he pleased her the wilder he felt. Selene had lost herself in Naruto's lovemaking and he had to check his passion for her as he gently cared for her body and soul to make her whole again. He knew Selene needed love and caring; not mindless rutting. The slow, passionate intimacy they shared brought them both to climax after climax throughout the night. They made love until her strength had gone and she finally wrapped herself up in Naruto's arms like a warm blanket…Naruto was exhausted himself but he watched over Selene for some time before he finally joined her in the land of dreams. The happiness of the beautiful vampiress in his arms mattered far more to Naruto than any simple night of pleasure. Naruto thought sleepily of the complex puzzle that was Selene as he drifted off. He never wanted to see her so hurt and vulnerable again if he could help it…
When the sun came up Naruto awoke in the darkness of Selene's room and gently told her he had things to take care of for Marcus while the sun was up and he would return tonight. Selene was still worn out from the night of passion they shared and decided to sleep in. They kissed each other softly and the vampiress gently fell back to sleep. Naruto didn't want to leave her but he needed to talk to Lucian about the events surrounding Viktor's treachery. The idea of actually ending the war greatly appealed to Marcus and the younger generations of vampires were shocked that they started the war when they'd been told for centuries that the lycans had. Marcus asked Naruto to be the go between.
After a good shower Naruto tried to call Ildi to contact Lucien only to find she didn't pick up. He was a bit frustrated but decided to call a taxi back to Budapest where he could rent a car. He would try to call Ildi again later…
…
The room was filled with embarrassed shinobi. While they were not prudes as it was common knowledge that they might end up having to take a seduction mission that despite common belief, were also given to men. Sitting there and watching their friend having sex was not something you expected to happen. The only ones who were less than effected were Jiraiya for the obvious reason, he had always said that when he came across Naruto he had struck gold. The other was Kushina who was day dreaming of little fox pups and small children running around. Minato only took one look at his wife's face an knew what was running around her mind thus causing him to release a sigh of exasperation.
Lycan Den
After hours of testing, Ildi was back in her human form and dressed. She had explained everything in exhaustive detail to Lucien, Raze and Singe. The lycan scientist said, "Ildi, even if you can't change into a bus sized fox or do the other things Naruto Corvinus demonstrated you've still gained some incredible abilities. You are faster, stronger and your reflexes are much greater. Also, your new form is much more flexible and agile than your previous lycan state. Best of all, you are no longer allergic to silver."
"That's great and all be what the hell am I?" asked Ildi.
"You're a new form of hybrid." said Singe. "As I said; this changes everything. Our research into hybrids has completely changed overnight. We need to get in touch with this Naruto Corvinus somehow and explain what happened to you. He may have the answers we seek already."
Ildi said, "Did my phone survive when Ambrus' pack of bitches attacked? I've got Naruto's phone number. I'll call him."
All three males eyes widened. Lucien asked, "You have Naruto Corvinus's phone number?!"
The room started to chuckle at the collective shock of the group. It was not that surprising but amusing none the less. The bit that had them surprised was the changes done to the girl. All of her basics had increased along with her healing factor would make her a incredible force.
"Yeah, I made him promise to call me when he left Ördögház." said the tracker with a frown. "He probably didn't ever bother. Typical guy."
Five minutes later Ildi had her scratched up but still functional phone. When she turned it on she saw that she had one missed phone call. It was from Naruto. She silently cheered to herself and called Naruto back.
"Hello, Naruto Corvinus." answered the kitsune after the third ring.
"Naruto, it's Ildi!" said the lycan girl happily. (Lucien and the others sweat dropped at her suddenly joyous attitude). "Are you okay Naruto? I was so worried about you going to Ördögház."
"I'm fine Ildi." said Naruto. "There was no trouble that I couldn't handle. I tried to call you a while ago when I left. Have you had your phone off?"
The lycan tracker said nervously, "Actually, something kind of happened. Where are you?"
Naruto sounded perplexed. "I'm picking up a new car here in Budapest; a BMW. What something kind of happened Ildi?"
"Ummm….you know that were-fox meat you fed me?" she asked.
Naruto answered, "Yesss….what of it?"
Ildi squeaked out, "It kind of made me a were-fox too."
This caused Tsunade to sweat-drop at the girls care-free attitude at what could have been a lethal situation. The fact that the others were laughing for other reasons did not pass her by. They however did not have the medical knowledge that she did, and that was what made the situation so terrifying.
Lucien, Raze and Singe heard Naruto's voice blare through the phone, "WWHHAATT?! Tell me where you are right now Ildi! I'm coming to get you."
"It-it's okay Naruto, I'm not in danger or anything." said Ildi. "I just wanted to see you. Our doctor is really concerned about this and we were hoping you could help."
"As soon as I get the car I'm on my way." said Naruto. "Tell me where to meet you."
Ildi mouthed to Lucien, 'Should I bring him here?' Seeing Lucien nod she said, "Meet me out at the Heroes' Square in the City Park and I'll take you from there okay?"
"Where in Heroes' Square?" asked the kitsune. "It's a pretty big place."
"How about in front of the statue of Matthias Corvinus?" asked Ildi humorously.
This caused those in the room to chuckle. Even in another world Naruto could not help but come from a family of heroes. This time however he was the ancestor of them rather than the descendant.
Naruto groaned. "That's fine. I see you in an hour at the latest." answered the blonde.
Ildi smiled, "Okay, I'll see you in an hour."
"Be safe Ildi." said Naruto seriously as he ended the call.
Ending the call on her phone Ildi said happily, "Well, I'd better get going to change into some better clothes. He's going to meet me in an hour." The female tracker quickly darted off to the room she bunked in with a big smile on her face.
Lucien and Raze had shocked looks on their faces. Finally Lucien looked wide eyed at Raze and said in a strangled sounding voice, "Tell me that our resident wild child did not just go to pretty herself up for a date with a person that could potentially destroy us all!"
Raze simply sighed as he shook his head. "She's been trouble since she was little…"
Singe said, "You know; you two sound like a couple of worried old grandfathers." The glares of utter hatred he received from Lucien and Raze for that comment made the lycan scientist wisely shut up and get back to work…
The kage all sighed at this as they all had their own version of the 'wild child'. The hokage turned in unison to face one direction. The direction of one Kushina Uzumaki who was attempting and failing badly at trying to whistle in innocence. The fact that there was a grin fighting its way onto her face did not help things.
…
Budapest
Naruto quickly signed the papers and picked up the keys for the BMW he rented. 'I hope she's alright. How in the hell could eating huxian meat cause her body to change? I wonder if she can shape shift like a kitsune now? I'm more worried with how the lycans may be treating her. If they've attacked Ildi over this there will be hell to pay.' With those grim thoughts on his mind Naruto hopped in his dark silver grey BMW and headed out towards Heroes' Square. 'Stay safe Ildi.' he thought worriedly. Within a half an hour Naruto was at Heroes' Square waiting at the designated spot for the lycan girl.
This caused Tsume to start laughing. Kiba saw the looks from his friends and decided to answer the reason for the laughter.
"He already sees the girl as his, thus the territorial mind set. The thing that is amusing is that he does not even seem to realize that that is what is happening." This caused the others in the room to chuckle as this version seemed to be oblivious in his own way.
…
Heroes' Square
Ildi arrived and saw Naruto was awaiting her. The blonde was clearly worried. She waved at him and smiled before calling his name. "Naruto, over here!" said the lycan girl. She felt the weight of his electric blue eyes focus upon her before he appeared in front of her in a split second and began fussing over her.
"Are you injured in any way?" he asked quickly as he checked her over. She was in a nice bomber jacket and jeans as well as her combat boots.
Ildi smiled at his concern. "I'm fine Naruto. I'm not hurt; just….changed. You smell like you just took a shower."
"I did right after I left Ördögház." said the kitsune. "I figured you wouldn't like the smells from there."
Ildi could smell Selene's scent on Naruto's coat. '….A vampiress….and tears?' "I can still scent the place on your coat."
"Sorry." groused Naruto.
"It's okay, the others won't notice." said Ildi. "My nose is a lot better than theirs." She grabbed his arm and hugged it to her. "Come on, we have places to go!"
"Ironically this is also true" said Tsume. "Even within the clan were we all train as trackers. There are those that specialize at it, they tend to be much more sensitive to scent than the general member" explained the clan head. Who was finding it highly amusing how this was doing a better explanation about the Inuzuka than she ever could.
…
Lycan Den
Ildi was talking to Naruto as she led him to the den through the subway tunnels, "It's lousy living underground but it's very secure. I'm not going to pretend that it's a welcoming place though. If anyone gets out of line with you just glare them down….Well, try not to kill anyone anyway. I'm going to take you to see Lucien, Raze and Doc Singe. You've already met Lucian and Raze."
"Raze…? I'm not sure I know this person Ildi." said Naruto.
Ildi smiled. "Raze is great big black guy you nearly scared to death when we were tracking you. He's a good guy but you kind of rattled his cage. Try to be nice okay?"
Naruto groaned, "I hate to be nice."
The Kumo shinobi smirked at this as they were of a similar mind set. They did however have to deal with customers thus having to be nice.
The tracker giggled. "I know. It's one of the things I like about you." Naruto sweat dropped and Ildi said, "Here we are!" as she banged on a metal security door. A slot opened in the door showing a male lycan's eyes and the young tracker said, "It's Ildi. Tell Lucien I brought Naruto Corvinus with me as ordered."
"What's the password?" asked the door guard.
"Open the fucking door before I get pissed!" growled Ildi savagely.
"Password confirmed." said the guard.
Naruto looked at Ildi and said incredulously, "That is a password?!"
This got raised eyebrows from those in the room. There was however two who were looking any were but the screen, trying to hide their embarrassment.
Ildi shrugged. "Hey, it works doesn't it?" Naruto just shook his head as the door opened. The guards felt a bit frightened by Naruto's massive aura but nervously patted him down for weapons anyway despite the fact Ildi assured them Naruto didn't need weapons to kill them….of course Naruto's katana was hidden from them under an illusion anyway…
…
Soon enough Ildi was taking Naruto back to see Lucien. She wasn't bothered in the least by the Kitsunes power. Truthfully it excited her. It actually felt very warm and comforting to Ildi. Everyone else was a different story though…
"Well if anything that has remained the same" whispered Hinata though every one heard. "his aura has always been light and inviting" explained the shy girl. Getting nods of agreement from those around her.
Given lycans were prone to a pack mentality they generally bowed to those that they could sense were stronger than them. Most of the lycans were shuffling quickly out of Naruto's way or shrinking back when he got near. Lucien had already warned them not to make trouble and that this was an important guest and (unlike Kraven) he was veryworthy of their respect. Everyone did notice that Ildi seemed quite pleased being close to their guest in the den. However, there is always an idiot in every crowd. "I think you're being a bit too friendly with Ildi outsider." said a big lycan with long black hair as he stood up.
At this all of the kage could not help but groan. There was always that one idiot who had more muscles than brains. Their ego would always push them to do something that they were explicitly told not to. Tsunade just thanked the heavens that her one was sasuke and he was more trouble to missing ninja than he was to Konoha.
A could not help but sigh as his version was his brother B. Garra sighed as his mind drifted to his brother kankuro. Sarutobi and Minato groaned as the name Danzo Shimura forced itself to surface. Yes each of them had their own trouble children.
Ildi growled, "We don't have time for this. I'm taking Naruto to meet up with Lucien. Get out of the way Clause."
"I don't think so." said Clause as he blocked the way. "He isn't good enough for the likes of you Ildi. I am." Clause always liked Ildi but was afraid of Ambrus who had a claim on her. Since Ambrus was history now Clause decided to make his move on Ildi.
'Someone has a little too much testosterone for their own good.' thought Naruto. 'Are all lycans this territorial?'
The room could not help but laugh at the internal thoughts. Especially when the thought of territorial came up as Naruto had been acting territorial even if he himself had not noticed it yet.
"I'm not interested in you Clause." said Ildi with a hiss. "Now get the hell out of the way."
"Make me." said the arrogant lycan.
Naruto sent enough killing intent at Clause to make the lycan's knees buckle. "Do you really want me to make you move boy?" asked Naruto in a voice that would peel paint off the wall. His red, slitted eyes blazed and Clause almost fainted before he scurried to the side shaking.
"He gets that from you, you know" said Minato blandly to Kushina who just smiled a beaming smile, completely unrepentant.
Raze felt the killing intent and rushed out there to stop any of the lycans from messing with Naruto. When he got there he saw Naruto's eyes and Clause quivering in the floor. Raze shoved Clause out of the way with his foot and said, "Sorry about that Mister Naruto. Come this way please." Out of the corner of his eye Raze saw Ildi's eyes had changed to match Naruto's and she was smiling ferally at Clause while the long haired lycan was on the verge of pissing himself.
The kitsune eyes faded back to blue and he said nicely, "Nice to see you again Mister Raze. Please lead the way."
Soon Naruto was back in the medical lab that Doctor Singe worked in. Lucien greeted him and introduced Singe before they started talking….
Naruto's class mates could not help but sigh at the typical Naruto. He could switch from happy to terrifying as if a switch had been flipped. To be honest it was terrifying to see but it had also lead to some of his greatest moments in his ninja career.
…
"So let me get this straight." said Naruto as he looked at Singe. "You are saying that Ildi is now a lycan/kitsune hybrid just because she ate the meat of a huxian? I'll admit Shǒuwèi was fairly powerful being a five tail and all but changing a person's form? That seems a bit far-fetched to me."
Singe said, "Go ahead and strip Ildi. Show him your new form."
Ildi blushed a bit. 'This isn't how I wanted to get naked for Naruto the first time!' She started to take her coat off but Naruto stopped her.
The kitsune put his hand on top of Ildi's head and said. "Hold still a minute Ildi; I want to try something." She felt a warm sensation go through her body. A second later there was a puff of smoke and in Ildi's place stood an adorable one tailed, reddish brown coloured fox.
"Good to see that he isn't (totally) a pervert" said Tsunade with a slight smile upon her face. Those around her ignoring what she had whispered under her breath.
"What the fuck?!" screeched Ildi in a squeaky little voice seeing her point of view had completely changed.
Naruto nodded to himself. "It seems you can transform into a vixen just like a kitsune can."
"! #$%^&*" yelled Ildi in her cute little voice.
Naruto quickly shape shifted into a golden fox with one tail and patted her head with his paw. "Now, now Ildi. This is a good thing. Once you learn to do this on your own it's a wonderful reconnaissance tool. We'll have to work on your voice too."
"He is not wrong" muttered Kakashi trying very hard to ignore the stars in the kunoichi eyes.
Ildi was nose to nose with the slightly larger Naruto in their fox forms. "I thought you could only turn into a fox the size of a cement mixer." she hissed threateningly in her squeaky, cute voice with narrowed eyes.
The blonde kitsune gave a vulpine smile and chuckled. "Where would be the fun in that? I can be that size, this size or anything in between. We kitsune are about cunning and trickery. Raw power is just a tool." He put his paw on top of her head and said, "Hold still and I'll change you back."
With a poof Ildi was in her human form again and blinked before she looked down at Naruto in his fox form who was smiling up at her. Her brown eyes got stars in them and she snatched the golden kitsune from the floor before nuzzling him and saying, "Soooo cuuuute!" All the males sweat dropped at the bipolar mood swings of the girl. "You're like a stuffed animal!" squealed Ildi. "Can I keep you?"
"ABSOLUTELY NOT!" roared Raze and Lucien as one.
The room broke out into hysterical laughter at this. The fact that Naruto was being held to her chest like a plush only made it worse.
Ildi sweat dropped and said, "Are you two suddenly my Mother or something?" Both males had the decency to blush as Singe laughed at their expense…Before they silenced him with their glares again.
Naruto hopped out of Ildi's grasp still in his fox form and sniffed. He smelled a normal human and followed his nose. Eventually he found the cage where they were keeping Michael Corvin. The kitsune asked the clearly exhausted Michael, "Who are you and why are you locked up in a lycan's den? You're obviously human."
Michael answered tiredly, "I'm Michael Corvin. I'm a surgeon intern and they captured me. The one called Singe has been taking blood samples and experimenting. Are you really a talking fox or have I finally lost my mind?"
The kitsune glared at Singe and nearly made the scientist wet himself with his killing intent. "Explain. NOW." commanded Naruto.
Singe said frightened, "Michael Corvin is descended of the third, mortal Corvinus brother. He has the purest version of the Corvinus strain in his blood. Potentially we could all become hybrids to increase our power using his blood."
"That makes his my grandnephew dozens of generations removed Singe. Release him." said Naruto in a commanding tone.
Lucien's eyes widened. "What do you mean grandnephew? Are you related to-"
"Marcus and William Corvinus are my older half-brothers." said Naruto. Ildi's eyes got huge and Singe gasped. Lucien and Raze weren't doing much better. "I've stayed out of it for centuries but I've come to the conclusion that I need to play a part to end this war between cousins. Let Michael out of this cage and give him some human food for god's sake! He's not a lab animal. He looks like hell." Singe hesitated and then Naruto's eyes flashed. "THAT WASN'T A REQUEST."
Singe was now petrified but Lucien said, "Let him out. You got enough blood samples Singe." Singe shakily unlocked the door to the cage and Naruto turned into his human form and helped Michael up.
The room smiled at this as it seemed that despite how jaded he had become, he still held family in high regard. Things were going to change now as the right button had been pushed to get him directly involved.
…
An hour later Naruto and Ildi were at a restaurant feeding Michael who was basically starving. Naruto told Lucien that Michael was under his protection and there would be severe consequences if anything happened to the young man. Michael was very thankful to Naruto but was completely at a loss as to where he stood in this mess. Naruto explained to him that Michael having knowledge of the lycans was bad enough to get him killed and they needed to find a safe place for him. After some reluctance Naruto decided to make a call to his Father Alexander. 'My whole mission has been derailed by this situation. Ildi's situation is…manageable…I think. But this poor kid Michael is stuck between a rock and a hard place.' Naruto soon heard his Father pick up the phone. "Old man, it's Naruto. I need to ask a favour of you…"
"Old man?" someone said in a tone of disbelief. It was clear why as the Naruto in this was over a thousand years old. Not exactly the youngest person around.
…
The Frigate Sancta Helena
Naruto, Ildi and Michael were soon having an early dinner with Alexander Corvinus. Alexander looked at Michael and said, "Well, I've got a good grasp of your situation. You've basically been thrown into a world you didn't want to know about and can't get out of. You are very fortunate that Naruto here is such a softie deep down."
Naruto growled and Ildi covered her smile up with her hand. Alexander had been rather formal with her and knowing this was the first immortal kind of frightened Ildi but she noted Alexander Corvinus was much kinder and friendlier to Michael. Ildi also knew Naruto would protect her if it came down to it. As it was the young tracker found that she really had nothing to fear. She wondered about Naruto's relationship with his Father though. It seemed…strained to her. Naruto said they were estranged before and he seemed gruffer with his Father than others. Ildi ordinarily would have simply asked but she felt it might be a touchy subject with the two Corvinus men.
Still, Alexander was shocked when Naruto revealed his intentions. "You may have kept this war hidden old man but I've decided to end it. The problem is centuries of hatred aren't going to go away overnight. I'm trying to mediate between Marcus and Lucien but I keep getting sidetracked by factories exploding and hostile immortals trying to kill me and such…I haven't even had a chance to go after Kraven and find out where Lady Kurami Hotaru fits into this mess."
"You know I'll help you anyway I can Naruto." said Alexander gently. "All you need to do is ask. Let my people research the situation in Japan for you so you can concentrate on the lycan-vampire conflict. You've done a lot in a short time. I'm…proud of you my son."
Naruto looked taken aback and sighed. "Alright, we'll play it your way for now old man. Just promise me you'll look after Michael here. He's been dealt a really bad hand."
Alexander nodded. "I'll keep Michael Corvin safe. You have my word on that. He's family after all."
Naruto and Ildi soon departed and Naruto told Michael he'd stay in touch. Naruto was taken a bit off guard when Alexander said, "Be safe my son…and tell your brother Marcus I'm thinking of him and want this war to end as well."
"The family dynamics in one such as that would be, complicated" said Shikamaru the fact that there had been a gap before he said the word complicated made it painfully obvious that he had wanted to say something different to every one else in the room.
…
Budapest
Naruto was quietly driving his BMW back towards Heroes' Square to take Ildi home and Ildi was being quieter than normal. He was pondering the situation with Selene, with Ildi, Michael, and the whole Vampire-Lycan conflict. Ildi broke him out of his thoughts when she asked, "Can we pull over and talk a little while Naruto?"
The kitsune nodded and they pulled off the road. 'She must be worried about her kitsune abilities. I need to reassure her that I'll help her.' When they stopped Ildi unstrapped her seatbelt and planted a searing kiss on Naruto's mouth before he could even react. Naruto's brain nearly imploded. 'Ildi's kisses are like fire. They are feral and untamed…Selene's kisses are like perfect water. They are elegant and sensual…' He realized he already had his tongue rammed in Ildi's mouth as they battled for dominance. He gasped and pulled back so his lust filled, slitted red eyes were staring into Ildi's own.
"I was right." said Ildi panting. "You will be my mate Naruto. I know you have a vampiress mate but you can change her like you did me. Then we can share you."
This statement caused multiple reactions. There was a series of annoyed huffs from the female contingent as the idea of a woman voluntarily sharing their lover was against everything that they knew. The quieter and forcefully stifled giggles required no explanation to anyone.
"Share me?!" asked Naruto bringing his breathing back under control.
Ildi nodded rapidly. "Yes; you are a powerful Alpha and Alphas often have harems. She must be powerful too. Otherwise you never would have taken her as your mate. Turn her into a were-fox like you did me and we can be happy."
Naruto said, "Ildi, she may not want to become some sort of kitsune hybrid. Besides, it isn't like I can find another kitsune to feed her…What the hell am I saying? I'm not going to sacrifice one of my own kind!"
"All you have to do is let her drink some of your blood Naruto." said Ildi. "If she doesn't love you enough to change then I do! I'd be happy to share you even if she's the Alpha female."
"Ildi…." whispered Naruto. His instincts were screaming at him to take this beautiful girl as well. He knew she wanted it too. "I need time to sort this out Ildi. Selene is badly hurt emotionally and I just can't betray her by telling her I'm taking another."
The young tracker was frustrated but asked, "What hurt this woman so bad?"
"She was terribly betrayed by someone dear to her." said Naruto. "I won't go into details but she's really hurting and needs my support right now."
Ildi pressed her forehead against his and sighed …"Don't make me wait too long…"
Kushina was giggling away in a slightly manic way. It was starting to scare those around her. "ignore her, since she had found out she was pregnant she had planned out what the future would be like. Including grandchildren so she is away within her happy land." explained Minato while rubbing his head to try and mitigate the on coming migraine.
…
Ördögház Mansion
Naruto returned to the mansion at sunset after making sure Ildi was safe back at home. He was able to confirm the fact Viktor started the Vampire-Lycan War with Lucien as far as the lycans were concerned. That personally gave Naruto all the reason he needed to slay the Vampire Elder to avenge Selene and the lycans as well as the vampires that died in the pointless multi century conflict…the problem was he doubted both sides would see it as so cut and dried. At any rate, it was a start…
When Naruto got out of his BMW at Ördögház his danger instincts went off and three bullets went whizzing by. 'Oh gods! Don't hit the rental car!' thought the kitsune as he leaped clear. Seeing the BMW was undamaged he sighed in relief and turned to see who was shooting. Naruto saw the guards were fighting someone. The mangled Soren was being helped out the door by four other vampires when Soren saw Naruto much to his horror. Naruto's red eyes glowed in the darkness which reflected his sinister kitsune smile. "Oh my." said Naruto sarcastically. "I see you and your little friends are making an escape attempt Soren. How cute."
Those with interrogation experience could not help but laugh at the vampires expression upon seeing the fox. That alone showed just how effective the torture had been upon the man.
Soren screeched in fear as the kitsune appeared between him and his guards. The four would be guards were knocked out in an instant and Naruto grabbed Soren by the throat and pinned him against the wall. About that time Kahn and several Death Dealers race in and saw the situation was taken of already. Kahn asked, "Are they dead?"
Naruto shook his head and asked, "Do you want them dead?"
Kahn growled and said, "We killed three, you captured these four and Soren. That means the other three must have escaped."
"Did you lose any?" asked Naruto.
"We lost two and….Selene is dying." Naruto's mind stopped. He looked at Kahn and then at Soren who had a weak grin of victory knowing Naruto cared for the Princess.
Naruto punched Soren in the face and knocked the traitor out. "Take me to her Kahn. I'll deal with this scum later." Kahn nodded and ordered his men to bind Kraven's remaining guards and quickly led Naruto to the downed Selene.
Amelia was hovering over Selene looking distraught. She felt Naruto's massive presence and looked up. "She was shot in the side with three UV bullets and the UV poison is killing her." said the Elder.
Naruto looked at his lover and Selene said weakly "Naruto…I'm glad you're here…Hurts inside…" Kahn shook his head sadly. Selene wasn't just another Death Dealer to him. She was a friend…
The kitsune heard Ildi's voice in his head. 'All you have to do is let her drink some of your blood Naruto.' Naruto tore back his sleeve and slashed his wrist. He said desperately, "Drink."
Selene tasted Naruto's powerful blood and found it was intoxicating. In her hazy mind she felt his blood tasted like immortal life itself. She felt the power in her veins soar as she consumed the ambrosia. Her eyes turned red and slitted as Naruto watched. Selene smiled tiredly and kissed Naruto's rapidly healing wrist before she said, "So sleepy…"
Naruto sensed her body was stabilizing and sighed in relief. Selene was sleeping peacefully and Naruto said. "Thank the gods. That was too close."
Amelia was flabbergasted at Selene's condition. Selene's wounds were completely healed and the younger vampiress was sleeping peacefully. Amelia felt how much more power Selene was emitting and was awed…
"he really seems to be holding a torch for the woman" said Jiraiya getting looks of shock from those around him. "what I taught the boy for three years I have seen almost his entire emotional spectrum. Of course I would recognize such a thing" cried out the sage in offence at the looks that were being directed at him.
…
Selene woke up in her bed hours later feeling amazing. She was bursting with energy. She'd absorbed Naruto's most recent memories and realized she owed this Ildi girl her life. 'Am I different now?' she wondered. That's when she noticed something warm and fuzzy resting beside her. It was a blonde fox. He was asleep and had his tails curled around him except one which was gently lying on her arm to sense Selene's movements. The normally dead serious Death Dealer couldn't help but smile at how cute Naruto looked sleeping there. Feeling revitalized, Selene rolled onto her side to face Naruto and gently started scratching him behind his ears. Selene's smile widened when Naruto started making a noise in his sleep. 'Is he purring? He looks so adorable…"
Naruto suddenly woke up and his red fox eyes stared into Selene's smiling face. "How do you feel my angel?" he asked gently as he saw her smile.
Selene pulled the fuzzy kitsune in for a hug and said, "I feel wonderful Naruto." She nuzzled Naruto and said. "Thank you. I owe you and Ildi my life. Why are you in this form?"
Naruto gave her a vulpine smile and said, "This is my most powerful form. With my irresistible cuteness I made you smile."
The dark haired beauty hugged him more and said, "That you did Naruto. You make me feel so happy inside. I love you."
Naruto hopped up and turned into his human form. He hugged and kissed his lover and said, "I love you too my Selene."
They were both happy and content to look into each other's eyes for now…
"Well he was not wrong"said Ino getting looks "what he is irresistibly cute like that" huffed the girl getting chuckles from those around her.
