Naruto: The God of Light

The god looked down upon the young golden one. She wished to save him from his hardships. Her advisors argued against it. "Why must the great god Amaterasu trouble herself with a mortal," they said. However, her decision was final. To bring joy into the boy's life, she would save him from the darkness of hate as a wolf once more. She smiled at the sleeping boy covered with cuts and bruises, all being slowly healed. "Your life shall finally have happiness, young one," she said in the most heavenly voice anyone could hope to hear. No one saw it, but the boy smiled in his sleep.

Naruto woke up to the sound of…barking. How odd. Was this a prank by Kiba? He grumbled out, "Kiba, I'm gonna kill you and Akamaru when I'm awake enough…" He opened his eyes to the face of a white…wolf! Naruto jumped up out of his bed and ran to the kitchen to wield a wooden spoon at the wolf. "Stay back! I'm warning you!" He waved the spoon in the air for dramatic effect, but it didn't seem to work on the wolf, which rolled on the ground, seemingly laughing at his antics. "Hey! Stop laughing at me! I get enough of that from everyone at school!" To his amazement, the fox stopped and looked at him with apologetic eyes. Had he been a girl, he would have glomped the fox while shouting, "Kawaii!!", but that's not the point.

He took the time to examine the wolf. He noticed it had streaks of red on its pure white fur. There were odd patterns of red on it, but the wolf was beautiful because of it. The wolf was an adult, standing to his waist. It looked at him with a great deal of intelligence, perhaps that of a human. He glanced at the clock. 7:00. "Crap, I'm late!!" Naruto ran to get dressed, and the wolf followed him. "Wait outside, please," Naruto asked kindly. Amaterasu kindly waited, but when Naruto came out, she yelped in pain at his orange jumpsuit. "What's the matter, boy?" Her eye twitched twice before Naruto realized his mistake. "Gomen nasai!! I didn't know you were a girl!!" Her eye stopped twitching.

He headed for the door with Amaterasu trailing right behind him. He looked confusedly at her. "Um…sorry, you can't go to the academy with me…" She whined and put her head down in sadness. 'Great, if I can't go with him, then I won't be there to make sure anything bad happens to him,' Amaterasu thought sadly. 'I can't use any of my powers, either. I can't…unless I become one of those nin-dogs!' Apparently, Naruto was thinking the same thing. "That's it! Kiba's allowed to bring Akamaru to school, because he's a nin-dog! I could just say I can use nin-dogs too!" Amaterasu jumped and barked happily, liking his idea. So, they both ran all the way to the academy.
