Chapter 5

On with the story

Two shinobi stood watch at the entrance to Konoha. This was a very routine and boring job, both of them were jounin but they unluckily got stuck with the duty. The guards wore the traditional jounin uniform and leaned against the wall next to the gates they guarded. One had his hands behind his head and stared up at the clouds lazily. Though the job was boring it did give him time to cloud watch, which was one of his favorite past times. As he stared at the sky he lazily cast a glance over to the very loud shinobi next to him, the noise coming from the shinobi constantly chewing potatoes chips.

 

“Do you have to chew so loud Choji?”

 

The man next to him looked over revealing the swirls on his cheeks and the huge bag of chips he had in his hand.

 

“You know I get hungry when I'm bored, plus I can't help how loud I chew Shika.” Choji said while shoving another hand full of chips into his mouth.

 

“What a drag, I can't believe we got stuck on guard duty, isn't there something else jounin could be doing.”

 

“We are only here because we are going to be having important guests visiting and lady Tsunade wants to pump up the security.”

 

Shikamaru looked over to Choji before reaching over and taking some chips.

 

“I know why we're here, but it's still troublesome.” He said before returning to his cloud watching, seeing that Shikamaru was done talking, Choji return to his sight seeing. He liked looking out into the forest than looking at the cloud. As he watched the forest he caught sight of some figure heading their way.

 

“Shika it seems we have company.”

 

Shikamaru looked out into the forest and they both were surprised by what they say. Four figures walked their way and as they got closer they could make out the figure's features. There was a small black four tailed fox with two children at his side. As they got closer they could see that the others had three fox tails. Behind the three children followed a huge man with seven fox tails swinging behind him. They were told they would have some special guests but they never expected this. The four foxes made their way in front of the gate and were stopped by Choji.

 

“Halt, please show your identification,”Choji said, while holding out his hand.

 

The man held out his hand and in a plume of blue smoke, a couple sheets of paper appeared. Choji looked over the papers before staring at the demons.

 

“Very well, the hokage is expecting you; we will escort you to her office.” Shikamaru said while leading them into the village. Shikamaru turned around and pumped his chakra into the gates which then opened for them, he and Choji led them in.

 

Behind them, Yin, and Yang spoke to each other through their thoughts.

 

“So what do you think of these shinobi yang? Yin thought.

 

“I can't say they haven't really done anything yet, though the skinny one does seem a little lazy.” Yang said while staring at Shikamaru.

 

“I'm a little nervous.”

 

“Yeah...” As they entered further into the village they began to take in their surrounding. As they looked around they noticed things that they only heard about in the stories that were told to them. Everywhere they looked there were houses and buildings made of stone. Ten story building that towered over them, people screaming and shouting, running threw the streets trying to conduct their business. They walked through the middle of the crowds heading towards the hokage tower. Yin and Yang looked took in their surroundings with a mix of many emotions. Their ears twitch frantically as they tried to decipher all the noises of the huge city. It wasn't long before they began to draw attention. People stopped and stared at the demons as they walked though. Mothers would catch sight of the party and they would grab their children. People would move out of their way. It wasn't long before they were the center of attention, and they started getting the looks.

 

The people's eyes showed their fear and hate. People stopped their business and began to whisper. The people, confused, had many questions. Why were they here? Where did they come from?

 

Slowly the streets became shrouded in silence, the people only dared to whisper. Yin, Yang, and Kenshi grew tense. They could feel the tension, the confusion, the hate. Slowly they began to speed up their travel through the streets of Konoha. Naki became weary, he had dealt with humans and they proved to be very unpredictable. He stayed close to the children as they sped up. They were close to the tower so the three decided to take to the roofs, they had drawn enough attention. Naki, Shikamaru, and Choji followed.

 

As they took to the roofs, the sound began to return to their area as they moved along, and soon the streets were back to normal. The three flew across the rooftops side by side. They didn't like this place. They all said nothing as they made their way to the tower. They soon arrived at the tower and Shika and Choji led them in. They stood next to each other as they entered. Inside the tower was very busy. People went here and their doing their various jobs. And again they became the center of attention. The room suddenly became quite as they went through. They were met with the same stares. The four were led to the hokage's office door.

 

“This is where you will meet the hokage, enjoy your stay.” Choji said before him and Shika went off.

 

Yin, Yang, Kenshi, and Naki stood in front of the hokage door. The children just stared at the door; none wanted to go in just yet.

 

“Ok, what the hell was that?” Yang said while gritting his teeth.

 

Yin looked down at the ground and nodded. “I didn't think it would be that bad. I mean it was so loud and then all of a sudden everyone just goes quiet when they see us. And the way they looked at us, the way they acted, is that what daddy went through when he was here?”

 

Kenshi was also gritting his teeth and emitting a low growl. “Those eyes, each one, there was so much hate in those eyes. At least we hide our hate, but they don't even bother. I can't imagine what father must have gone though.” Kenshi said angrily.

 

Each one looked at the ground, all of them thinking about how they felt. They never experienced that, to be hated by so many people. They could see why Kyuubi hated humans so much. They were all angry. When they ran across the roofs, they were basically running from the humans, and that didn't sit well with any of them, especially Kenshi.

 

“I am afraid of noone.”Kenshi said, his growl growing deeper. As Kenshi growled, Yin and Yang began to join him. Naki looked down on the children with sadness, they weren't ready to leave the village yet, and they weren't ready to deal with the hate he knew they would receive from the rest of world. All their life all they felt from others was love and compassion, and this change was very damaging to them, but that's why he was there. He was there to comfort and guide them, and so he would. Using his tails, he wrapped one of his tails around one of each of their tails and began to message them softly. The children began to purr and calm down. This was a very useful relaxation technique among demons. He then walked in front of them and kneeled down, facing them.

 

“You must stay calm young ones. This is what you may see from most humans but you must get used to it. These people hate us as much or even more then we hate them and they will treat you as such, but you can't give in. Just ignore them for now, and try your best to cope. You must be strong.” The three listened to their teacher but they were still upset. Kenshi was mostly angry while yin and yang were on the verge of tears. Seeing this approach wasn't working, Naki took a different approach.

 

“Attention soldiers,” he screamed. Instantly the three stood at attention. “You are ninjas now, you cannot show your pain, never show weakness in the presence of the enemy, do you understand?” He screamed, but still massaging their tails.

 

“Yes sir,” They screamed.

 

“This is you chance to prove yourselves, be strong and make me and your village proud. And remember, you'll have your chance to release some feelings when its time for the chunin exams to start.” The three smiled at this, all their pain gone. Each now had a new determination, to show their strength, not just in fighting skill but how well they adapted to the change in environment as well. Naki smiled as he felt them relax. He then let their tails go and moved to the back of them. They would lead, he was only there to protect. Each one regained their posture and Yin and Yang looked to Kenshi with a smile. Kenshi nodded at them before pushing the door open to the homage's office. They were ready.
