Ch: 2 Myth Beast

Next day

Ninja school

"All right brats, the fights helped the teachers determine at what skill level you all are at. "So now its time to wish you luck and put you all on teams." said Iruka "So the teams are ………..

"Team 7 is Haruno Sakura, Sai, and Uchiha Sasuke."

"Ya the power of love wins." Yelled Sakura

"NO this can NOT be happening, Iruka-sensei why does forehead girl get to be on Sasuke-kun's team and not me?" asked Ino "Please change me with her."

"No I can't do that Ino the teams are balanced in this way so each member can help each other." Said Iruka

All Sakura wants to help Sasuke-kun with is his virginity! Thought Ino

"Team 8 is Yumanaka Ino, Akamichi Choji, and Nara Shikamaru."

"No team 9"

"Team 10 is Hyuuga Hinata, Aburame Shino, and Inuzaka Kiba."

"Now than you will all have to whit for your teachers to come pick you up." Said Iruka

"What a minute Iruka-sensei, am I going to be on a team or what?" asked Naruto "I did beat the Rookie of the Year."

"Ha see, everyone can see that your fight was a fluke and that Sasuke-kun was holding back." The pink haired banshee said. "No one will want you on their team, either they be lead to their death trying to save you or you will kill them, you monster.

"Shut up whore, if there is a monster in the room it's your voice." said Naruto "Hell if I didn't know that you are human, I would have believed you were a banshee in human form sent here to destroy the eardrums of the living things."

"That's enough Naruto, now the thing with your team placement is that there were an odd number of students that passed." Said Iruka "But don't worry a jonin sensei has asked for you to go to his team."

"Well where is he?" asked Naruto

"What, someone is really going to get the monster on their team?" asked Sakura "Wow they must want to die really bad, and I just hope they take the monster down with them but can't get my hopes up now can I?"

"That's enough Sakura, if you don't stop now I will expel you from the ninja system." Said Iruka "Now Naruto the team has two genin who have an year of real world experience, the sensei, Ryuuzaki Ryo, wants you to find him or his team."

"Now how in hell am I supposed to do that?" questioned Naruto "I need his scent or something."

"I don't know Naruto, but he did ask me to give you this." Iruka said as he threw a black wooden box to Naruto.

"What's this?" asked Naruto

"Don't know, but he said its for your eyes only." Said Iruka as Naruto left the classroom.

In the park

Naruto see the young kids being rushed out of the park by older villagers. Sighing at the stupidity before him, he takes a seat at a swing near by and opens up the box. Inside he finds a letter that says

Dear. Uzumaki Naruto

Under this letter is some thin that will help you find me.

If you can find me or my team before the sun sets your in.

Good luck, you will need it.

Your (maybe) sensei

Ryuuzaki Ryo

P.S: your teammates are strong so don't worry about them.

Naruto looks inside the box once more, and then pulls out a lacey black panty. For a few moments he does nothing but holds the undergarment by the string and look at it with a look of shock on his face. Then he remembers that the note says that will help him find his sensei.

"Looks like I have to track him down." Said Naruto, he had recovered from the shock. Maybe going wolf will help; my snout will be many times more useful then. I bet I can even track down human scent.

Then he raised his head and lifted his arms in a "W" shape and stared to howl. Behind him the world became night and the light of a partly covered moon fell on him. Naruto's mouth elongated in to a snout, his head became more wolf-like till his earrings were seen proudly. His limbs became longer and gained more muscle, the Battle dress uniform that was very loose became like shorts the black medical tape wrapped around his feet went from his knees to top of his back paws/feet. The black shirt ripped and the loose black cape jacket, which had a picture of the full moon on the back, became like a shirt. Then black fur grew all over him and his eyes glowed yellow. (A/N: sorry but this is the last chapter I will make him transform so long)

"I wonder why this smells like a bird." Wondered Naruto as he took a whiff if the panty and ran of in the way the scent was pointing him.

One hour later

Training ground 51

(Area 51)

Naruto closed in on the scent and so he transformed back in to a kid. He did not want to scare a lady. But then again who is not going to be scared of a 7½ foot black humanoid wolf that walked on two paws. Naruto then being a master of hiding looked out of a bush to see who the panty could belong to. But what he saw startled him.

There were two people standing in the open field, one boy and one girl, they were talking. Ok nothing surprising about that but it was how they looked was what surprised him. The girl looked like she was at least 4 feet 11 inches part bird if not half. She D cups but wore a black tank top. She wore her forehead protector around her waist like a belt and a black skirt with silver wings embroiled into it; the skirt was short in the front and got longer in the back. She would have looked like a normal girl if her hands and feet were not unlike a bird's (gray, scaled, & clawed and has 5 fingers and 4 toes (4th in the back of each feet).She has silver feather coming down from her knees to the feet and same for wrist half way to the elbow. Her head has silver feathers instead of hair, and her eyes looked like a hawks.

The boy also looked different but still human-like. He was 5 feet and wore a purple long sleeved Chinese shirt with a mantis head on the right shoulder and same colored Chinese pants and ninja sandals. He had long purple hair that was tied back with his forehead protector. The weird part about him was that his eyeballs looked like a fly's; above each of his eyes(2 eyes) was a green mantis antenna that looked something like a mouth's at the tip. The antennas moved in the wind like the girls feathers. The boy turned his head around 180 to look were Naruto was hiding.

"Hey, are you going to keep hiding behind that bush or are you going to come out of there." The purple haired boy said. "Either way we don't care but can you stop looking at us like that."

"Sorry, sorry I'm out I'm out." Naruto said as he left the bush. I guess that the antennas aren't just for show.

Now as he got closer he saw that both were very pretty beautiful.

"But I want to know does this belong to you miss." He said as he held up the lacey black panty.

"My panty!" she shouted with a blush on her face. And then faster than a blink she had grabbed her underwear out of his hands. "Where did you get them?"

There was venom in her voice. Her feathers made her look many times more scary than normal. It was clear to Naruto that she will kill him if she believed that he stole them.

"A man called Ryuuzaki Ryo told me that your panty will help me find him." Naruto said frantically. "I'm supposed to find him or his team before sundown."

"That explains everything, hi we're you teammates." the boy said. "I'm Kamairi Mazurka, but call me Maz.

"Sorry about getting pissed of at you about the panties, I am Hane Hina." Said the girl now know as Hina.

"Ya sorry about looking at you funny, I know how that feels." Naruto said. "I'm Uzumaki Naruto by the way."

"You know how that feels; we don't need your sympathy kid." Hina said." I doubt that you can even fight."

"I agree with her, I don't think you know what the real world is like." Maz said. "So take my advice run along now."

"I do know." Naruto said with his head down.

"What do you know, brat?" asked Hina.

"I do know how it feels, I do know how to fight, I do know what the real world is like." Naruto said with anguish

"Oh you do, do you? Asked Hina "Then why don't you prove it, it's time to show you how hard the real world is."

At that they both went to the middle of the field. Then Naruto started it of by throwing three shurikens at Hina; she dodged them by jumping backward threw three of her own shurikens at Naruto. Naruto then took of the Chain of Echoes and spun it around like a shield that blocked the shurikens. Then Naruto stepped his up a bit and used Ninpou: Kage Bunshin and made 50 kage bunshin.

Each of the clones pulled out a kunai and rushed Hina. Hina swift kicked 5 of the clones with the talons on her feet and dispersed then two in front were sliced to ribbons by her clawed hands. Then one of the clones got behind her and stabbed her back, she saw the clone so the kunai only got her shoulder blade. She then realized close combat would not work on Naruto so she jumped in to the air and landed on a near by tree. She made fists and struck them forward, then yelled Hijutsu: Feather Cannon. The feathers on her wrist glowed before lunching themselves at the shadow clones. Soon only the real Naruto was left, but he had feathers stuck all over his body.

Naruto then pulled the chain back and wiped the bladed side at Hina so fast that she couldn't dodge it. That cost her as the chain wrapped itself around her and Naruto pulled her to have a date with the ground, hard. Then Naruto took her for a spin (bird bones (makes her light)). He was about to let her hit a tree face first if Maz had not came out of nowhere caught her. Ninpou: Doku Kiri Maz yelled; purple smoke came out of his mouth at Naruto. Then used substitution as seven kunais pierced the log was where Naruto was moments ago. The chain then pulled itself off Hina and flew to Naruto who was standing 30 feet away.

"So you decided to join the fight!" Naruto said "May I know why?"

"Other than the fact that she is my teammate and that I never again will fail to save my teammates, no matter the cost." Maz said turning to look at Naruto as he put Hina, who a little out of it from the spinning, to rest near a tree. "I told you that I also believe that you unfit for this team of misfits; we know how hard the real word is, all you got is three little marks on each cheek."

"I guess no amount of talking is going to change your minds is it?" asked Naruto

"No, its time for round two." Maz said as he got in to his taijutsu form.

Then Naruto once again raised his head and lifted his arms in a "W" shape and stared to howl. Behind him the world became night and the light of a partly covered moon fell on him. Naruto's mouth elongated in to a snout, his head became more wolf-like till his earrings were seen proudly. His limbs became longer and gained more muscle, the Battle dress uniform that was very loose became like shorts the black medical tape wrapped around his feet went from his knees to top of his back paws/feet. The black shirt ripped and the loose black cape jacket, which had a picture of the full moon on the back, became like a shirt. Then black fur grew all over him and his eyes glowed yellow.

"No this is round two." Naruto said.

Shit! That was all that Hina and Maz could think of that fit the situation.

Then Naruto kicked Maz into the air and wrapped him in chains. Naruto then also jumped into the air and spun Maz in circles. Then he pulled him back and used him to jump even higher in to the air but at the same time was let lose of the chains and was plummeted to the ground with spinning force and speed. Maz was then saved by Hina, who now recovered and also ready for round two. Then the three of them got ready to continue if they hadn't heard some yell Katon: Dragon Breath and had to jump out of the way if they didn't want to be killed. When the fire cleared a man with dragon tattoos was standing there.

"I leave you two alone for 10 minutes and you two gang up on your new teammate." The man said "10 MINUTES."

"Hey Ryo-sensei." Hina and Maz said.

"We were showing him how hard the real world is; because we doubt that the blond brat has a clue." Hina said

"Well then I guess it's then time to tell our sad life stories." Ryo said "Okay I will go first then Hina, Maz and last Naruto.

"Okay I am Ryuuzaki Ryo; I am the last living member of the Ryuuzaki clan, my ancestors' clamed to be part dragons. We were the strongest clan in mist before the Second Great Ninja War. We lost everything even our summoning contract with the dragons and without it I can not be realized as heir. My bloodline allows for me to use dragon based attacks with less charka than normal and is also a gene changer also." Ryo said. "Now, I like to eat meat, look at hot girls, and to train. I dislike fools, fan-girls and not having a steady girlfriend. My goal is to find my clan's summoning contract. Next up is you, Hina."

"Okay I am Hane Hina; I am part of the dieing Hane clan. I may look different from other people, hell I look good of someone from my clan. My bloodline is called 'Tori Tengu'; I got lucky because I could have been born with a beak like my mother or a full bird like my dad or my older brother, who gave me the right of heir to the clan just because I have the most chances of bringing new blood to the clan. My dream is to make my clan stronger, I will only stop if what I must do goes against my nindo; never betray my nakamas." Hina said "You're up Maz."

'"Okay, I'm Kamairi Mazurka, but my friends call me Maz; and yes my antennas are real. They are part of my bloodline that's known as 'Doku Konchuu. It makes me a living poison; everything from my body can be lethal but I can control it. My clan is said to be the underling of the Aburame clan but IT IS NOT. My dream is the same as Hina-hima's." Maz said "Let's hear it new kid."

"I am Uzumaki Naruto, the demon brat of Kohona. I have no known clan and I had up to now 57 assassination attempts on my life. My bloodline is called Lycanthropy, it allows me to transform into a wolf-man as you saw. At first I believed that the people of the village hidden in the leaves hated me for my bloodline. So I only used it when I was alone but the a few days I found out the real reason of my 57 assassination attempts. I am the Jinchuriki of the nine tail fox 'Kyuubi'. "Said Naruto "All of what you were told is an S class secret, tell anyone and you hang for it. But on a lighter note I will become Hokage, because I have nindo that does not let me take back promises and always protect nakamas."

At the end of his little speech the only thing on the minds of his teammates was 'Wow'.

"We are so sorry that we judged you before we found out about you." Hina said "Will you ever for give us?" `

"Ÿa Naruto, we are really sorry for that." said Maz "Lets see if we can be friends and teammates."

'Will I guess its my job to tell you that this team is a assassin team, and not just a one person kill." said Ryo "We may have to kill a village of women and children if the Hokage tells us to, but on that note we have a mission so go and pack up what you may need for a week or more and meet me at the west gate in 30 min.
