The Kitsune Demon

Chapter 10 - Wood Release

The girl flinches when the boy stopped in front of her, looking up she remembers his smile and laughter when he hurt the boy. Closing her eyes she waits for her torment at the hands of the boy. Surprisingly the boy didn't touch her but said " Why didn't you stop them " Naruto asks confused by his question she stutters " W-what d-do you mean. "

Kneeling in front of her Naruto explains " Based on your eyes I can say that your part of the Hyuga clan, they teach every child there fighting techniques. When I saw them I could tell they had no former training, even with them being older and bigger you should have been able to beat them. So I ask again why didn't you stop them are you stupid. "

Flinching at his harsh words Hinata stutters her way through her answer " I-I w-was s-scared that I w-would hurt them " Naruto cranes his neck at her " You would be acting in self-defense, what's the real reason don't try to lie to me again " Glancing away the girl calms herself " They called me a freak, even though I knew I shouldn't care what they think it still hurt " Narutos eyes soften at her words sitting down across from her and smiles " I know what it's like " Looking up at Narutos words she seems surprised at his kind smile. " To be shamed for something that you had no part in. Having your whole social status deemed by if you're rich, poor a civilian, or a clan member. The Hokage will say that everyone is equal but the truth of the matter is that the strong and rich will rule and the weak and poor will fall under their influence. I want to create a place where everyone has the opportunity to be strong " Naruto clenches his fist as he thinks about the village.

Looking at Naruto the girl hesitantly places a hand on his shoulder making him unclench his fists. " Can you teach me to be strong like you, I also want to to have a place like that where there's no inner dispute among the village " Naruto shakes his head " I can't. The path I take to achieve my goal will be soaked in blood and suffering. With your strength and demeanor, it would only hamper me. " Getting up Naruto starts to walk his tail waving slowly in the air " Wait what's your name " The girl calls to him at the last second stopping Naruto looks over his shoulder " Naruto Uzumaki " Walking again Narutos hears the girl yell " I'll become strong, strong enough that you won't have to walk your path alone. I Hinata Hyuga promises you that " Naruto keeps on walking but a small smile forces its way onto his face.

Returning home Naruto quietly sneaks back into his room avoiding Kakashi, collapsing into his bed Naruto smiles thinking of the girl with no pupils. Waking Naruto gets ready for the day, walking downstairs in his usual red pants and black shirt he smells something or someone he didn't recognize. They smelled familiar almost like they were related Naruto couldn't really place his hands on it. Walking out to the back yard Naruto sees Kakashi talking to a standard looking man. Sizing him up he had spiky brown hair a somewhat squarish head and was wearing a helmet that covered the sides of his face and a standard shinobi outfit.

" Oh Naruto you're here, this is my friend Yamato. Like you, he can use Earth and Water release today he will be teaching you the basic Jutsus. " Kakashi looks like he's bored out of his mind and can't wait to leave.

" Okay, let's get started " Naruto focuses back on Yamato still unsure about the feeling he got from the man. " Now when you show you can master these two Jutsus well move one " Yamato proceeds to show Naruto two very simple Jutsus one was ' Earth Style: Mud Wall ' and the other was ' Water Style: Water Pistol '. Yamato demonstrated the two jutsus accidentally destroying the wooden targets. Rubbing the back of his head sheepily he quickly replaces them using Wood Release. Naruto watched him as thick logs emerged from the floor and settled where the originals used to be.

Taking his time Naruto plays over the image of Yamato using the two jutsus. In a few hours, Naruto was able to perform both jutsus albeit on a much smaller scale. " You learn quickly, someday you might be as strong as me " Yamato smiles at Naruto surprised at how he mastered the two jutsus.

" Can you teach me that other jutsu the one you used to summon the logs " Yamato shakes his head " You can try but wood release is extremely rare and can usually only be used when you have a certain bloodline as I do " Stepping forward Naruto slowly goes through the hand seals.

' Well I warned him, I hope he doesn't start crying ' Yamato looks at Naruto with a concerned look in his eyes. Completing the series of hand signs Naruto slams his hands on the ground. Yamatos eyes widen as the ground bulges as three longs pop up out of the ground.
