I don't own Naruto or thundercats

A 14 year old Naruto looked sadly at the graves of freshly dug graves of Zabuza and Haku and thought "If only we could have known each other somewhere else then we could have been friends."

He then turned and started back toward Tazuna house. On the way back through the woods he smelled blood and he looked around the area and he saw a cougar with its paw trapped in a bear trap and Naruto frowned and he thought "should I kill it or should I let it go...." as he walked slowly over as the cougar growled at him and he said "Easy there, I'm not going to hurt you." as he looked at the cougars eyes and slowly raised his hand.

When he was about 2 feet away he stopped and the cougar looked at him while growling for nearly a minute and then it turned back to trying to get its paw out of the trap.

Naruto slowly reached toward the trap and the cougar bit him in the arm but Naruto just took the bite and he grabbed the trap and pulled it apart and the cougar quickly jumped back once it felt itself free and it turned and ran off quickly with a limp.

Naruto smiled sadly and said "Your welcome." before he continued on his way.

After Naruto was gone the cougar stepped back out into the clearing and it walked over to where Naruto blood had fell a little before it healed from the bite and the cougar licked the blood up before it looked where Naruto had walked toward before running back the way it came.

When Naruto made it back to Tazuna it was almost dark out and Kakashi asked "So were you able to do it."

Naruto nods and Kakashi said "Good, Go ahead and eat and get some rest. Tomorrow the workers are mourning all those who died before we got there and we will continue to guard the client the day after."

Naruto asked "Will you be teaching us anything else."

Kakashi looked up from his book and said "No, I have to show Sasuke how to use his Sharingan now that he has awakened his bloodline. Sorry."

Naruto looked sad and asked "Where is Sakura-chan and Sasuke."

Kakashi said "Sakura is doing the dishes in the kitchen and Sasuke is resting. Being put in a false death like he was weaken you."

Naruto nods and walks to the plate on the table and began to eat. After that he went and took a quick shower and crawled into bed.

Several hours later Naruto was sweating heavy as he turned right and left in his sleep before he heard his name being called and bolted upright.

He looked around and thought "what was that." as he got out of bed and went downstairs to get a drink of water.

After getting a drink he was getting ready to leave the kitchen when he heard his name being called again.

He turned and asked "Whose there." as he got into a defensive formation. He heard his name again and it was coming from outside and he went to the window and looked out as he heard his name again.

Looking around the kitchen quickly he grabbed a knife and went out the back door and walked toward the woods behind the house. As he approached them he heard "Naruto....come...." as he entered the woods.

After 20 minutes of following the voice he saw that he was near a rocky terrain and he heard a growl coming from above him and flinched as he saw a cougar on the cliff above him.

Naruto looked at the cougar as it walked a path slowly down the side of the hill and he notice the limp realizing it was the one from earlier and the cougar stopped a few feet in front of Naruto and motioned with its head as it turned and started back up the path.

Naruto blinked and asked "Are you telling me to follow you."

The cougar stopped and looked at him before slowly nodding yes with its head and Naruto thought "OK, this is weird." as he began to follow the cougar.

Once they made it to the cliff the cougar was on before Naruto saw the cougar enter a small cave entrance and Naruto stopped outside the cave and waited a few moments and the cougar came back out and motioned to follow and Naruto bit his lip but got on his hands and knees and followed in the small entrance.

Once he went about 2 feet he saw the cave opened up into what looked to be a shrine he blinked and saw the cougar looking at him and Naruto asked "What is this place."

A weird noise caught Naruto attention and he looked at the alter of the shrine and he saw a tanned leather glove with 3 jewel spikes and a handle of something sticking out of the top of the glove and he slowly walked toward the glove and he picked it up and saw a little foot long sword inside of the glove and he pulled the sword out and he heard the strange noise again and a circle crest on the side of the sword glowed red a moment with the head of a cougar before turning into a slit and he looked behind him and saw the cougar that he had saved was bowing toward him.

Just then Naruto felt a great pain shoot through his body causing him to pass out.

When Naruto awoke he sat up and felt different somehow as he stood up and before Naruto could say or do anything a white light filled the center of the room and a man with red hair, a blue shirt and blue pants appeared like a hologram and he said "Hello there Naruto."

Naruto asked in a scared voice "Who are you and how do you know me."

The man said "My name is Liono, and I know your name because I have been watching you."

Naruto narrowed his eyes and asked "What are you and what do you mean watching me."

Liono said "To put it bluntly I am a ghost and I meant I have watched you to see what type of person you are."

Naruto paled and said "How did I know that you were going to say that."

Liono chuckled and said "Its pretty obvious. Anyways, the reason I am here is because your actions by helping the cougar here, even after he bit you showed that you are worthy of possessing the sword of omens."

Naruto blinked and asked "The sword of omens...whats that."

Liono said "The sword in your hand is the sword of omens. It is a powerful relic of unimaginable power that has been in my peoples hands since the beginning. The last of my kind died out several hundred years ago and the sword of omens was placed here in this shrine after my death waiting for someone who is worthy of it to claim it."

Naruto looked at the foot long sword and said "Whats so special about this sword."

Liono said "For that answer you will have to return to my peoples home we built after our home was destroyed."

Naruto said "Now hold on a moment. I'm not going anywhere until I get some answers and I can just put this sword back where I got it."

Liono laughed at this and said "You really think that you can just put it back after already being chosen by the sword of omens. Look at the seal on your stomach."

Naruto was wide eyed and quickly raised his shirt and saw the seal and it looked weird and he touched it and the seal was now ash and Naruto tried to wipe the ash off his fingers but it turned the tip of his fingers black.

Naruto looked up and Liono said "The Kyuubi is dead. The sword of omens can only be used by someone who is pure of heart. You passed out because it was purifying your body of the evil of Kyuubi."

Naruto saw the black on Liono fingers and looked at his own and asked "What is this on my fingers. Its not ash or ink."

Liono said "During the final battle with a great evil, much like the Kyuubi was sealed in you we chose to seal the evil away for all eternity but doing so sealed our souls as well. The souls of myself and each of the thundercats were bound to our weapons. Now that you have the sword of omens, my soul is connected to you changing you somewhat into a thundercat similar to what the Kyuubi did by giving you whiskers."

Naruto asked "What do you mean changing and what is a thundercat."

Liono said "The thundercats are what my people were called. I was lord of the thundercats and now you are."

Naruto blinked and said "I don't understand."

Liono seemed to think a moment and said "OK, think of the thundercats as a clan with a unique bloodline. Now you are gaining my bloodline."

Naruto eyes got wide a moment and asked "What exactly is going to happen to me."

Liono said "Your fingers will be permanently stained black like mine are as well as gaining a little bit more clawed. You will gain quicker reflexes, your eyes will become slitted, your ears a little pointier with heightened senses. You will also gain the ability to speak to and understand cats."

Naruto blinked and asked "Cats."

Liono said "Sorry about that, what I mean is any feline you will be able to communicate with, lions, tigers, cheetahs, panthers, cougars, even normal cats."

Naruto said "So I basically got Kiba bloodline but for cats instead of dogs." in a confused voice.

Liono said "I believe so but each or the other thundercats will have different abilities."

Naruto asked "Wait, what other thundercats."

Liono said "You must go to our home and find the other weapons and form your own clan. You must learn our ways. You must search for our home. Farewell Naruto, Lord of the thundercats." as he faded away.

Naruto eyes felt heavy for a moment and he passed out.

When Naruto opened his eyes again he found that he was still inside the cave and he saw daylight outside and he grabbed the claw glove and the sword of omens and he put it on his hand and thought "Was it all a dream." as he climbed out of the cave.

He then returned to Tazuna house and found Kakashi and Sasuke gone and saw Sakura on the porch with Tsunami peeling potatoes and Sakura asked "Where have you been Naruto. Kakashi-sensei was not happy when he discovered you were gone."

Naruto said "Sorry about that Sakura but I had......I had something I had to take care of." as he looked out at the sea.

Tsunami asked "Is everything alright Naruto."

Naruto blinked and asked "Where is Kakashi-sensei, I need to speak to him about something." as he looked at Sakura.

Sakura said "I don't know."

Naruto frowned and looked as his hand ands then he raised his shirt a little and looked at the seal on his stomach and thought "I need to find out if what he said is true. If the Kyuubi is dead then everything will be alright but if this sword just destroyed the seal it could cause everyone to be hurt. I need to find out about this sword." as he walked inside and grabbed his pack and a piece of paper and a pen and wrote something on it and he walked back outside and handed the letter to Tsunami and said "Something important has come up and I have to go for a little bit. Can you give this to Kakashi-sensei and only Kakashi-sensei."

Tsunami looked at the letter and said "Sure but where are you going."

Naruto looked out at the sea again and said "I have to find the cats lair." as he turned and ran back into the woods.

Sakura asked "Whats up with him. He is acting stranger then normal and whats the cats lair." as she looked at the note in Tsunami hand and said "let me read it please."

Tsunami said "Sorry Sakura. Naruto said only Kakashi. Whatever is in this letter is important to Naruto. If he wanted you to know he would have told you. Sorry." as she pocketed the letter.

Naruto ran through the woods for about 10 minutes and he stopped and thought "but where do I find the cats lair. It could be anywhere."

Just then the sword made its calling noise and Naruto looked at it in his glove and pulled it out and saw the cougar head on it again and he asked "What is it." as he brought the sword closer to his face to get a better look at it and he felt his eyes change and the guard on the sword curved as the cougar head turned into a slit eye and suddenly he was seeing a white cougar made out of stone with a black head. The picture he was seeing then zoomed out to show a valley and then a mountain range with snow on the top of it and then a rocky terrain and finally a desert before it showed the bridge that Naruto was guarding before the vision stopped and Naruto thought "what was that."

Liono appeared startling Naruto and he said "That Naruto is why the sword is called the sword of omens, it has the ability of sight beyond sight."

Naruto asked "What was that I saw though."

Liono said "That was the cats lair and how to get there, you must cross the great desert, travel through the stone plains, to the frosty mountains and then across the great valley. Cats lair is on the far side of the great valley. That is all I may tell you, farewell young lord." as he disappeared again.

Naruto blinked and thought "hmm.....the great dessert would be Suna and if I remember the geography correctly that Iruka-sensei made me memorize then the stone plain would be Iwa, the frost mountains would be Kumo but no ones ever completely crossed the mountains of Kumo....I don't think...Iwa doesn't like Konoha so they can't see my hiate." as he reached up slowly and untied his hiate and held it in his hand.

He frowned and thought "but this was Iruka-sensei.....I can't just leave it here." as he bit his lip.

He turned and began to walk through the woods and came to the graves of Haku and Zabuza and he looked at the graves and he walked to Haku grave and dug a little at the foot and placed his hiate in the ground and said "Haku, please watch this for me until I return. It's very precious to me."

A voice Naruto recognized asked "And where are you going Naruto." causing Naruto to turn and see Kakashi standing there with his arms crossed.

Naruto frowned and asked "What are you doing here Kakashi-sensei."

Kakashi held up the note Naruto had wrote and said "Explain please."

Naruto sighed as he raised his shirt and said "I....I don't know how to explain it. your going to think I am crazy or something but I'm not. Yesterday when I was coming back from the graves here I found a cougar with its paw trapped in a trap. I decided to free it and it bit me in the arm and ran off after it was free. Then last night I woke up hearing someone call my name and I followed the voice. I met the same cougar that bit me and it showed me a shrine where this was." as he held up his left arm that had the glove and the sword on it.

Kakashi frowned behind his mask and asked "What happened next."

Naruto said "I touched these and I passed out in a great pain. When I woke up I saw this....well he called himself Liono and he was a ghost of sorts. He told me how his clan called the thundercats were fighting a great evil and sealed the evil similar to what was done to Kyuubi and that it cost his clan to be sealed in each of their weapons. He was sealed to the sword here and this sword is called the sword of omens. He claimed that the sword purified Kyuubi because it can't be used by anyone unless they have a pure heart and somehow I am gaining Liono bloodline." as he held up his hand that now had a little sharper nails and the tips were black.

Kakashi walked over and looked at Naruto hand and then at the sword and glove and then the seal and was about to touch the seal when the sword made its calling noise again and Kakashi jumped back in a defensive stance and Naruto grabbed the sword and put it to his face and said "Sword of omens, give me sight beyond sight." as the guard turned again and Naruto saw Inari was being held by some mercenaries in a warehouse and Naruto saw where.

When the sword reverted to normal Naruto said "We have to hurry, some of the mercenaries have captured Inari and are holding him hostage in a warehouse." as he started to run.

Kakashi grabbed his shoulder and said "Stop." causing Naruto to look at him and ask "What, we have to hurry."

Kakashi said "Not until you tell me what that was just now. Your eyes turned red and gold and the sword changed to curve around your eyes."

Naruto said "That was sight beyond sight. It shows me things, it showed me where the cats lair is and then it just showed me Inari who was is in danger and where he is from here. Please, we must hurry."

Kakashi frowned and said "Alright, show me where." as Naruto nods and began to jump through the trees.
