Bond between Fox and Lizard
Chapter 1
On the night of the Fourth Hokage's son's birth, the giant fox with nine tails; the Nine-Tailed Fox, suddenly appeared and starts smashing the Leaf Village. As it attacking, the Nine-Tailed Fox's raw red Chakra leaking from it and spread all over the village and beyond.
In the forest, few men starts collect the red Chakra. Nearby, the family of Iguanas sense something coming and they run away, leaving the single egg behind. The red Chakra then, found its way into a small iguana's egg before the egg starts to roll away. Soon, the egg is in the large dark hidden area. The Chakra within the egg, is extremely potent and it slowly started to mutate the egg, changing it and its occupant into something more which might take years...
(7 years later)
A long brown hair woman in her twenty, wearing a grey shirt, black skirt and boots, and white coat, is working on the blood tests. Then she pull out the recorder.
"June 10th, 3:15 pm. The blood sample from one of the Inuzuka dogs shows no infections or diseases. Just a comman cold. Need to tell the owner that his partner will..." The woman then hear her door open, "Pulse that." She stop her recorder turn towards the door, "How's the Academy?"
Heading to sit next to the woman, is seven years old blond hair boy, "Not good."
"Oh dear... Did those jerks made you leave cass again, Naruto?" Woman asked.
"No Dr. J, I can't get this Clone Jutsu right." Naruto said.
"I see. Don't worry, kiddo. You'll get it eventually. It takes time." Dr J said.
"You think so?" Naruto said.
"I know so. I'm biologist and vet after all. Now, why don't you go and find Billy. He's probably talking about 'New Life' coming again. Let's hope he didn't get arrest this time." Dr J said.
"Right." Naruto said before he left as brown hair teen girl; Hana Inuzuka enter.
"Sweet boy." Dr J said.
"Indeed. I would like to help him but my clan forbid it." Hana said.
"Shame. Those blind fools could not see how wonderful Naruto is." Dr J said.
(Meanwhile)
"Folks, I'm telling you new life is coming! The Nine-Tailed was just a start for what coming next!"
In the centre of the village, stands an elderly man with white hair and long beard. He wears a white shirt, black vest, blue pants and white and red shoes. He also wears a eyepatch over his right eye.
Naruto arrive where elder man is and sigh, "Oh, Billy..." Naruto muttered.
"New monsters will start take over sooner or later!" Billy said as he grab one of his many drawing pictures, "Like this giant moth!" He put the picture down before pick up other one, "Or this three headed serpent with big wings!"
"Don't you think you should stop?" Naruto asked.
"Stop?! STOP?! Are you crazy, Naruto?! My visions shows me all the monsters that will appear soon. We must be ready from everything!" Billy said.
Just then, Cat and Bear ANBU arrive. Bear grab Billy, "I think you had enough drinks. Come, let's get you home to bed." With that, Bear starts dragging Billy away.
"Watch out for the monster moth. Listen to me! Monster Moth!" Billy said.
As Billy being drag away while yelling, Cat lean forward to Naruto, "No offence, but you friend has so much screw loose."
"Huge Lizard!"
"Yeah, but he does make me laugh a bit." Naruto said.
"Giant Ape! Look out for the King of all!"
"Well, I'm off to have some Ramen." Naruto said.
"Don't be out too long, there's a thunderstorm coming." Cat said.
"Right." Naruto said before went off.
(A while later)
Naruto is running through the forest, "Stupid villagers..."
After Naruto had his... 128 Ramen, he was on his way home when he was chased by the villagers straight out of the village.
Now, Naruto is lost in the dark forest during thunderstorm.
"That's just prefect." Naruto muttered.
As he went deeper and deeper into the woods, Naruto noticed the trees started to get darker in a way, as their branches started to look twisted and gnarled. He also felt something emanating further into the woods. It felt ominous but somehow oddly…familiar. Finally, Naruto stumbled upon a clearing in the twisted trees and couldn't help but gasp at what he saw. In the center of the clearing is a large white…something. It kind of reminded Naruto of the eggs he'd sometimes buy for breakfast but this was much, much bigger. A big flash of lightning shows a strange figure within the egg. As his childish curiosity got the better of him, he cautiously started walking towards the egg.
As Naruto reached out a hand to touch the egg's surface, the smooth white shell suddenly lurched and cracked a bit, causing the blonde to fall backwards with a yelp. The cracks started growing bigger and Naruto's eyes went wide.
"Don't tell me it's hatching!" Naruto said.
Suddenly, with a final lurch and sharp CRACK!-ing noise, the egg completely shattered revealing the creature inside. Once the slime and eggshell cleared away, Naruto couldn't help but stare wide-eyed at the being's appearance. It appeared to be reptilian in nature, with grayish-green scales covering its body, a squared lizard's head, thrashing tail, three taloned toes on its feet, oddly human shaped four fingered hands, bright orange-ish red eyes, and dorsal fin shaped spikes running along its back.
The creature sniff around before seeing Naruto before heading towards him.
"Um, nice giant lizard thing. Good giant lizard thing." Naruto said as he attempted to back away, only to find his back hitting the trunk of a tree.
The great lizard got close to Naruto before sniffing around him before it made a growling sound that almost sounded like a dog's before opening its large mouth to reveal two rows of sharp pointed teeth and an arrow shaped tongue. Naruto closed his eyes and braced himself. But instead of pain, Naruto got a wet sticky tongue licking his entire front.
"What the...?" Naruto asked.
Then, he felt a scaled head rubbing against him and, risky a peak he cracked open one eye to see the monster rubbing its head against his body and making a purring noise not unlike a cat. Blinking both eyes open, the child could barely believe his eyes. Naruto then reaching out with a shaky hand and began stroking the beast's head.
"Cool..." Naruto said.
Suddenly, a big booming and flashing from the storm, spooks the big lizard who's running towards the other side of the area before it starts digging.
Then Cat arrive, "There you are, Naruto! Me and others were so worried when we heard the villagers chase you out."
Naruto just stare at the hole the creature dug.
"What is it?" Cat asked.
"...Nothing." Naruto said.
(Night time)
Naruto sneak through the village till he reach an bad looking apartment. After through the hallway, Naruto found the door 6, which he turn it around, showing 9 instead.
"They never have that number fix." Naruto muttered.
Then he knock on the door.
"Who's there?" Billy's voice asked from the other side of the door.
Then the door open and Billy step though with harpoon! When he see Naruto, Bill lower the harpoon.
"What's that for?!" Naruto asked.
"I was... Nevermind, come on it. I just made some tea." Billy said as he allow Naruto to enter.
Billy's place is full of harmless traps, nets and papers. Soon, Naruto and Billy have a nice cup of tea.
"So, what's the reason you visit me in the middle of the night?" Billy asked.
"I like to ask you something." Naruto asked.
"Oh, sure. What is it?" Billy asked.
Naruto then look through the pictures till he found what he believe he saw earlier, and bring it to Billy, "I would like to know about this."
"Why, that's what my vision showed! That's called Gojira." Billy said.
"Go-what-ra?" Naruto asked.
Billy chuckles, "The easy name of it is; Godzilla. It to my believe, is the King of all Monsters."
"Godzilla..." Naruto muttered.
(Few months later)
Naruto is sneaking through the village, carrying big net full of fish towards...
"Naruto?"
Naruto jump in surprise and turn to see Dr J, Billy and Hana with her dogs.
"Where are you going?" Dr J asked.
"Um, out." Naruto said.
"That path leads to the main gate. You know no one but ninjas are allow to across the walls." Hana said.
"Really? I didn't know where this path goes." Naruto lied.
"Naruto, what with the fish?" Dr J asked.
"Well... I was hungry and I went fishing." Naruto lied.
"Well, I think you've over did it." Billy said.
"I have. But I... was make sure I have enough to last me for a long time." Naruto lied.
They stare at Naruto for the moment.
"Very well, Naruto. Head home. Straight home." Hana said.
"Right. Got it." Naruto said as he went the other way.
When Naruto turn to the cornor, he peek and see, Dr J, Billy and Hana left. Then he starts heading towards the same path to the gate.
Little did Naruto know, Hana and others hide and watch him.
"We're going to follow him, right?" Billy asked.
"Yes. Whatever is going on with him, we need to keep him safe." Dr J said.
(A while later)
Naruto arrive at the area where he meet the giant lizard then head towards the hole the creature dug. Carefully, Naruto climb down the hole and then, see the tunnel.
"Where did you dug to, Godzilla?" Naruto muttered before walk through the tunnel.
A few minutes after Naruto, Hana and her dogs, Dr J and Billy climb down the hole.
"Who or what dug this tunnel?" Dr J asked as she look at the claw marks on the ground.
"Obviously the enemies." Hana said before glare at Billy who's about to say, "You say anything about those 'Monsters' you dreamed and I'll feed you to my clan's dogs."
"I did not dream them, I saw the visions of them." Billy said.
"Knock it off, you two! We need to see what little Naruto is up to." Dr J said.
"Oh, right!" Hana and Billy said.
With that, they went after Naruto.
(A while later)
Hana and others climb out of the tunnle-hole and look around, seeing they're in some kind of forest.
"I know where we are! We're in the Forest of Death." Hana said.
"Why would Naruto be doing in a place that not even some seasoned Jonin dared to go?" Dr J asked.
"Good question. Better go look for him." Hana said.
A few minutes later, one of Hana's dogs found something smelly before he bark.
"Look. One of Naruto's fish." Hana said.
Then she and others see the trail of fish.
"Naruto must have a hole on his net." Billy said.
"Let follow them." Dr J said.
With that, they follow the trail of fish. Soon, they saw a pile of fish in the clearing.
"Now, why would Naruto leaves the pile of fish around?" Hana asked as she, Dr J and Billy move closer towards the fish.
Suddenly, Hana and others but her dogs, shoot up! Soon, They're hanging upside down by the rope.
"There's your answer." Dr J said.
Suddenly, Naruto pop out of the brushes, "Now, I got yo... What the...?!"
"Naruto?" Dr J asked.
"What are you doing?! Get off of my trap!" Naruto said as he cut the rope.
Then, Naruto's 'prisoners' fall down hard. The dogs laugh like barking before they notices something moving through the trees nearby.
After untie the ropes around their ankles, Hana, Dr J and Billy turn to Naruto.
"Naruto, what's all this about?" Dr J asked.
"I set this trap to catch what I saw few month ago." Naruto said as he fixing his rope trap.
"And what do you saw?" Hana asked.
"At first, an giant egg before it hatched. What I saw after it hatched, is a giant lizard that's walks on its two legs. And it's about the size of a man." Naruto said.
"Let me guess. It's like Billy's monsters?" Dr J asked.
"Kind off." Naruto said.
Then Hana and Dr J glare at the elderly man.
"What?!" Billy asked.
"Now look what you done! You're corrupted poor Naruto. Making him believe he saw a 'monster'." Dr J said.
"But I DID saw a creature when it hatched!" Naruto said.
As Dr J and Billy arguing, Hana knee down and place her hand on Naruto's shoulder, "What you saw is either emeny's Transformation Jutsu or Genjutsu." Hana then feel nudging from the right side, "Not now, boys." Hana said, believe that was her dogs, before say to Naruto again, "Apart from the Nine-Tailed Fox who... got destroyed by the Fourth Hokage, there're no monsters." Hana feel another nudging, so Hana nudge back, "Not now, you three!"
Just then, Naruto, Hana, Dr J and Billy heard Hana's whining dogs. They turn left to see the dogs hiding under the tee, shaking like something scared them.
"Wait! If those three are over there... then who's...?" Hana and others turn around, only to see a giant squared head.
They scream as the creature let out its roar. They run as the creature stood up and give chase. It was the creature Naruto saw when it hatched; Godzilla, but its now the size of Leaf Village's wall.
"See! My vision is never wrong! New Life is starting!" Billy said.
"Shut up, Billy!" Dr J said.
"That's the one I was talking about!" Naruto said.
"But you said it was the about the size of a man!" Hana said.
"It was few months ago!" Naruto said.
"So, it grow fast! Fascinating!" Dr J said.
"Never mind that! We're close to the tower!" Hana said.
Soon, they arrive where the tower is. But Naruto trip and before he could get up, Godzilla grab him and lift him up.
"Naruto!" Others said in worry and fear.
Godzilla open its mouth and about to bite Naruto when it halt and sniff him.
"What are you waiting for? Get it over with!" Naruto asked.
Then Godzilla lick Naruto's face and made a sound that was a mix of a growl and a grunt before it put Naruto down gently.
"...You remember me." Naruto muttered.
Hana and others were shock and surprise at the display. Naruto took the step back then Godzilla took the step forward.
"Follow me! Come on, follow me!" Naruto said, as he lead Godzilla away while Hana, her dogs, Dr J and Billy sneak behind giant lizard towards the tower.
Naruto pull off his shirt and throw it to the trees and with Godzilla distracted, Naruto run pass it and through the tower door before the door slam shut! Godzilla turn and scratching at the door like a dog before curl up and lay near the door, waiting for Naruto to come out.
Inside the tower, Naruto and others walks through the hallways and up the stairs.
"See? See? I was right! We've just witness the King of all Monsters! Although, I thought it'll be bigger than that." Billy said.
"Shut up, Billy! What I want to know is why did it put Naruto down instead eating him?" Hana asked.
"Godzilla only eats fish." Billy said.
"Whatever. We need to warn Lord Hokage." Hana said.
Soon, they reach top floor. Then suddenly, Dr J had a thought.
"Naruto, didn't you say you've found this creature before it hatched?" Dr J asked, before Naruto nod, "Was there anything else there?"
"No, I was only one there." Naruto said.
"Then there's your answer. Because Naruto is the only one it saw after broke out of it's shell, it have imprinted on Naruto. Like a baby with a parent." Dr J said.
"Really?! Are you saying that it see me as its own family or something?" Naruto asked as he look out the window to see Godzilla laying by the door.
"That's my theory. This creature seem to be very intelligent. I need to do research and study it." Dr J said.
"All hail, the King of Monsters!" Billy said as he bow down.
Naruto watch Godzilla. He might finally have friend... a giant friend but friend none the less.
"You're all crazy! I'm getting Lord Hokage." Hana said as she made her way towards the hidden passage way.
Naruto quickly got in front of Hana, "But Hana, this might be my only chance to have a real friend. Can't we just give it a chance?"
Hana stare at Naruto for the while before turn towards the window...
"Alright. But only for Dr J to study that creature and then it leaves; dead or alive." Hana said before she and her dogs leaves.
Naruto watch Hana leaves before he felt a hand on his shoulder. Naruto turn to see Billy smile.
"Don't worry, little Hokage. Hana will come around eventually." Billy said.
"You think so?" Naruto asked.
"I know so." Billy said.
(Few days later)
Naruto is in the Forest of Death, facing against the tree.
"10... 9... 8..." Naruto counted.
Dr J watches from her camp, as Naruto counting.
"7... 6... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Here I come, ready or now!" Naruto said before wondering around.
Dr J watches as she pull out her recorder, "September 13th, 10:45am. Naruto Uzumaki's new friend has skills like hiding even though he's huge and heavy. The blood sample of Godzilla shows that he's some kind of mutant marine iguana. My best guess is that when the Nine-Tailed Fox attacked less than 8 years ago, its Chakra must have made its way towards the iguana egg and mutation it during those years." Dr J then head towards her table where huge picture of Godzilla, is on.
"According to Billy's 'vision', he gain his name; 'Godzilla' for he was as strong as a gorilla but as big and aquatic as a whale. Although, I haven't testing his strength. Nor his aquatic as there's no lake big enough in the Forest of Death. His intelligent is high as we tested him like solving puzzles." Dr J said before turn to seeing Naruto still looking for Godzilla, "After seeing those two together, I starts to believe that Godzilla doesn't see Naruto as his parent, more like as his brother. That means Godzilla knew that Naruto is too young to be a parent."
(2 years later)
Cheerful 9 years old Naruto is running through the village after leaving the academy, with a big smile, "Won't be long now! I'll become a ninja and have one step to become Hokage."
"Naruto!"
Naruto stop and turn to see Hana with her dogs.
"Hi Hana." Naruto said.
"I know where you're going. Don't you think Dr J study that creature long enough?" Hana asked.
"Godzilla is harmless." Naruto said.
"It's a monster!" Hana said.
"He's my friend and my brother!" Naruto said.
"You keep hiding it, you'll just betray the Village." Hana said.
"Well, maybe it might be the best for the village if we just give him a chance. He hasn't attack the Leaf Village." Naruto said.
"Yet." Hana added before say, "Look, I know you don't like to be alone again. But you can't just have that thing pretend to be your friend."
"He's not. Just give him a chance." Naruto said before he run off towards the Forest of Death.
"Naruto!" Hana called.
(Meanwhile)
A 8 years old blue hair girl; Hinata Hyuga from the Hyuga Clan, just left her house and went off, looking for the boy she had a crush on. Then a maid; Natsu Hyuga watch her by the door, before being push by the clan elder.
"Follow her. I want to know where she's going." Elder said.
"Right." Natsu said with the bow.
"And if that girl is going to see that brat... kill it." Elder said as like nearly all the villagers, he hate poor Naruto.
(Meanwhile)
Third Hokage; Hiruzen Sarutobi just place the last paper in the box, "There, finished!" Hiruzen said with a smile before he frown, "At least til tomorrow."
Just then, there's a knock on the door and Hana enter, "Lord Hokage?"
"What is it, Hana?" Hiruzen asked.
"...It's about Naruto." Hana said.
"What's wrong? Is he alright or was it his pranks again?" Third Hokage asked.
Hana sigh, "There's something in the Forest of Death." Hana said.
(Meanwhile)
Naruto arrive the camp site where Dr J and Billy are. Dr J is looking through the paper while Billy load up the barrel of fish.
"Hey, guys!" Naruto said.
"Hello, Naruto dear. How's the Academy?" Dr J said.
"Boring." Naruto said.
"Cheer up, boy. Just two more years and you'll be a great Ninja." Billy said.
"Really?" Naruto asked.
"Either that, or I gone crazy." Billy said.
"But you are crazy." Dr J said.
"I kno- Hey! I was right about Godzilla, wasn't I?!" Billy asked.
Naruto laugh for the while, "You two are the best. While nearly everyone hated me for unknown reason, you two treat me well and now, I starting to see you as my family."
Dr J and Billy were surprise.
"Really? We're like your family?" Billy asked.
"Yeah! Dr J becoming like my mother I never had. While Billy is like my funny grandfather. And of course, there's Godzilla who's like my brother." Naruto said before he look around, "Speaking of bro, where is Godzilla?"
(Meanwhile)
Hinata just enter the Forest of Death and she's now lost.
"I saw Naruto entered this forest but I lost track of him." Hinata said.
Just then, Natsu arrive, "Lady Hinata, You shouldn't be here! Don't you realize you're in the Forest of Death?"
"I saw... looking for someone." Hinata said.
"You're looking for that Uzumaki. You need to stay away from him. He's dangerous." Natsu said.
"Not as much 'dangerous' as this forest." A voice said.
Then a purple hair woman; Anko Mitarashi suddenly appear near the Hyuga pair, "This is happen to be my 'playground'."
"We mean no trouble. We were just leaving and going home. Right, Lady Hinata?" Natsu asked as she turn to see Hinata...
Only to see Hinata continue to walk through the forest.
"Lady Hinata!" Natsu said as she went after Hinata.
"Well, that girl is either brave or stupid." Anko muttered before went after the Hyugas.
A while later, Hinata is climbing the rocky hill with Natsu and Anko right behind her. When she reach the top, Hinata activate her Byakugan and look around.
"Hinata, forget that boy and come home now!" Natsu said as she stomp her foot hard.
"Boy, that was a long climb on his hill." Anko said before her eyes widen, "Wait a minute! There's no hill in the Forest of Death!"
Suddenly, the ground move, causing Hinata, Natsu and Anko to slide down the 'hill'. When they on the low ground, they turn to see the 'hill' is really a CREATURE! Hinata let out a huge scream of fear.
(Meanwhile)
Naruto, Billy and Dr J suddenly heard a scream.
"That's Hinata!" Naruto said before he went off towards to where the scream from.
When they arrive, they saw Hinata, Natsu and Anko back away slowly as creature move in.
"Godzilla! Move away! Move away!" Naruto yelled.
The creature; Godzilla turn towards Naruto before move back a bit.
Hinata, Natsu and Anko was shock.
"Naruto... you command this creature?" Hinata asked.
"Well... it's hard to explain..." Naruto said.
"Oh, someone better explain alright." Anko said.
Godzilla lean forward to his nose is just close to Anko.
Anko laugh nervously, "Just having a nice chat..."
Suddenly, the ANBU army appear out of nowhere!
"ANBU, attack Godzilla!" Cat ordered.
With that, ANBU throw thir Kunai at Godzilla.
Naruto, Billy and Dr J was shock at what happen. Then they run towards Cat.
"Hey! Stop that! He means no harm!" Billy said.
Suddenly, couple of ANBU tackle Billy to the ground while female ANBU with bird mask, grab Dr J and male ANBU with eagle mask, pick up Naruto.
"Billy, Dr J. You two are under arrest for treason and endanger lifes!" Cat said.
"Please, stop?!" Naruto asked where trying to get free.
Male ANBU with a Mantis mask made few hand signs, "Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"
A dragon made out of water appear and went on attack. A blue glow runs up Godzilla's dorsal plates and his eyes glow green before he release a green fire from her mouth and vaporizing the water dragon!
"Wow! That's must be Godzilla's signature weapon; Atomic Breath!" Billy said.
Naruto suddenly, bite Eagle's arm, causing him to release Naruto who run pass the ANBU army.
"Godzilla, run! Run away, Godzilla! Please run!" Naruto yelled, wanting his brother to escape.
Godzilla stare at Naruto before he turn and run away, out of the forest.
"Alert, Group one! Godzilla is heading your way!" Cat said through the comm-link.
(Meanwhile)
Group One are hiding behind the trees and saw Godzilla running towards them.
A male ANBU with panda mask, made few hand signs, "Earth Style: Dark Swamp!"
Godzilla shuddenly shinking to the ground like he's in quicksand! Surrounding him are huge amount of Explosive Tags! The ANBU group retreat as the papers starts to lit.
Back in the Forest of Death, Naruto saw explosion and can hear Godzilla's fainting roar.
"...Target's destroyed." Cat said after she has a report from Group One.
Naruto was horried and shock! He lost his own brother!
"NNNOOOOOOO! GODZIIIILLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAA!"
