ANBU initiation

(AN: I ACCIDENTALLY POSTED THIS CHAPER FIRST DONT READ THIS ONE READ THE NEXT CHAPTER FIRST THAN THIS ONE)

———————————————————————

"I'm ready dragon-sama." Naruto called out as he stepped out of the dressing room. As he did instead of the orange wearing idiot there was a fox masked blond. He was wearing mat black anbu pants with bandaging around the ankles and lower thighs. His shirt was also mat black and went up his neck and into his mask, and had long sleeves that went down his arms. He also had bandaging on his arms to lessen the baggy parts. Over his shirt was a chest plate along with mat black gloves they had metal playing on the top of his hand and were spiked on his knuckles. Around his lower arms were metal arm guards. On his lower back a few inches above his waist was a tanto while he had a kunai pouch and a shurikan holster on his legs.

"Hmm good but you missing something." Dragon spoke as they stared at Naruto. "Ah yes that's it." They exclaimed as they pulled out a scroll. Channeling chakra into it out pooped a katana. "This was your mothers…" dragon started making fox stare at them intently "you probably recognize it from last night. She spilt a lot of blood with this." As they spoke dragon slowly unsheathed the blade revealing its menacing edge. "Now it's your turn." As the finished dragon sheathed the sword and tossed it to fox. "I expect great things from you fox do not disappoint either of us." As the finished dragon motioned at the sword.

Getting the message fox strapped the katana to his back. "I won't dragan-sama." Naruto stated with steel in his voice as his eyes glowed with determination.

"Good than come I already paid take this as your initiation present. Now we have your training to attend." As they finished dragon turned towards the door and motioned for fox to follow.

Walking right behind them fox thought 'don't worry dragon-sama I won't ever disappoint you or mother.' As he gripped onto his katana. Walking out of the door we were greeted with the sight of civilians and a few shinobi. They gave nods of greetings and respect to us. Seeing this fox thought 'to think all I needed to gain their respect was a physical mask not an emotional mask.'

"Roofs." Dragon spoke

Nodding fox followed dragon as they hopped onto the roofs and ran towards the hokage monument. After a bit of running two anbu joined us. Looking to them one was a turtle while the other a bear. They flew through hand signs making dragon do the same. Seeming pleased they just nodded and looked at the fox masked anbu. "What was that?" Asked fox

"Anbu hand signs you'll learn them with your clones while I work your real body. Your speed and stealth is ok but the rest of you sucks." Dragon replied bluntly

"So your the new kid huh. Haven't seen one as young as you since dog, lion, crow, and weasel." The turtle one spoke

"When did they join?" Fox asked back

"Dog was 13, crow was 11, lion was 13, and weasel was also 11." Bear answered me.

"I see." Fox spoke slowly while thinking 'hmm if I remember correctly crow used to be close to big bro but disappeared a few months before…' as his thoughts trailed off more dots appeared and some connected. 'Ok so crow goes missing and itachi goes from wanting world peace to snapping within three to four months. Also from what I remember back than the uchiha weren't exactly role models and well liked. They busted, beat, took money and imprisoned anyone for the littlest things.'

But before more lines were drawn and his mind went to far dragon spoke "dog left the anbu so we can say his name it was kakashi hatake he was the silver haired jonin from the academy. Crow is dead his name was shisui uchiha. And you already know who weasel was. Now pay attention we're here." As they finished dragon stopped at a wall below the hokage monument "This is just one of many entries to the anbu HQ." They spoke while the anbu symbol on their shoulder glowed through their shirt a bit. "Your anbu tattoo will be a identification and the key to getting in. You'll be getting that first so you can go to the facility's without a baby sitter."

Turtle and bear chuckled a little as they went a separate way while fox and dragon headed down another path. While the door closed behind them. "You'll make a clone study the layout of this place. Another few will be sent to the library to learn jutsu and fuinjutsu. The scroll containing your uzumaki heritage will be in your room. I want you to be on at the very least high chunin in everything by the chunin exam in six months."

"Yes dragon-sama it will be done." Fox replied

"Hmm now for the next month it will be training only. Than I will have you go on bandit elimination ti get you used to killing. Be warned bandits won't be the only people you kill. Some women they take are broken beyond repair." Dragon stated harshly

Swallowing the saliva in his throat fox replied with the best monotone he could "I will follow your orders dragon-sama."

Looking down at the boy who had complicated emotions swirling in his head dragon spoke "you chose this path there is no backing out. You will become a killer, heartless to your enemies weather they be man, woman, or child, shinobi, kunoichi, or an innocent bystander that just saw the wrong thing. Do you understand anbu fox."

Clenching his fists foxes eyes focused as the emotions slowly bleed out of his eyes. "Yes dragon-sama no matter the pers…target I will accomplish the mission." He replied in a dead tone.

After a few seconds dragon nodded and stopped staring into foxes eyes. "Good but keep in mind why your doing this or you'll snap." As they finished dragon continued walking with fox absentmindedly following behind

'What am I fighting for?' Fox thought to himself. 'The leaf…no what has it ever done for me.' Than looking up he asked "why do you fight dragon-sama."

"Personal, but I know what your doing the only person who can tell you what you should fight for is yourself." Dragon replied "your mother fought for her friends and loved ones."

'Friends and family huh.' Fox thought as the images of Yugao, itachi, and begrudgingly the images of the old man and sasuke popped up in his head.

"We're here." Dragon announced as they opened a door. Walking inside they saw a crocodile masked anbu sitting next to a padded table. The corners of the room were shadowed.

"Hmm good your here dragon-sama, fox. Come take a seat." Crocodile stated as they stood up and bowed to dragon. Looking at dragon as they nodded fox walked up to the table. Before he laid down crocodile added "where do you want the mark."

Looking down in thought dragons words rang in his head. '*Your mother fought for her friends and loved ones.* so she fought for her heart huh.' As this thought ran through his head fox looked at crocodile "over my heart."

Just nodding crocodile stated "alright remove your clothing from the waist up you can leave on your mask."

Meanwhile while fox was undressing dragon was off to the side as they thought. 'Same place as you Kushina. He may look like minato but his personality and skills are a carbon copy of yours.' As the shirt he wore came off it revealed a malnourished skinny stomach and frame. Fox tried to cover this up by filling his lungs with air but it didn't help much. There were also the words demon inscribed on his back. As well as a few deep scars. 'He's malnourished as well great. I'll have to get him on a healthy diet and buff him up. Than I'll have to probably go through some phycological hurdles so far he desperate for love and affection, yet to scared to go out and get it from anyone he doesn't trust. He only trusts me, Yugao, and iruka. Than there's the fact that he's insecure. He may not show it but due to all the name calling and abuse he thinks his life doesn't matter and that his life has less worth than everyone else.' Thinking all this dragon let out an internal sigh. 'Yamanaka it is now just to find a way for Naruto to trust them enough not to just bullshit his way out of it or be forced to tell the doc everything that won't help anyone.'

Back with fox he saw crocodile pause and tense up as his shirt came off. Seeing this he made up an excuse for his current situation. "I've been low on cash so I haven't been eating much."

Coming out of his stupor crocodile just nodded. 'So this is Kushina-sama's kid huh *sigh* damm the civilians.' Than speaking he tried to make some small talk. "Just lay down I'll get to work. But how much is rent where your at."

"Hmm 500 ryō a month. But that doesn't include all the bills." Fox answered

Pausing in his work he stated "that's a lot and what bills."

"Hmm really the manager said I was getting it cheep also the civilian tax is 50 ryō, electricity bill is 50 ryō, water bill is the same, and maintenance bills that very based on the damage that the civilians cause to my room." As fox finished crocodile gave a look to dragon while continuing his work.

"But wouldn't all that go under the rent. From what I can tell your paying for everything twice. Also how much is food." Dragon asked

"Hmm well ramen is about the only thing I can afford. Also sometimes they'll sell me milk or food for cheaper but it tastes weird." Naruto cluelessly responded." Making dragon give a nod to no one

'Hmm well I'll be visiting a few store owners for selling expired goods, also one apartment manager for illegal tax extortion.' Dragon thought to themselves with a nod.

After a few minutes "alright and done." Crocodile stated as he stood up. "Come over here kid look in the mirror." Crocodile added while motioning over to a mirror on the wall.

Bossing he walked over as dragon took a place next to him. As he stood in front of the mirror it and the wall behind it shimmered out of existence as a large room full of masked anbu appeared. Widening his eyes in surprise he was about to speak but was cut off. "ANBU I WELCOME YOU TO OUR NEWEST MEMBER OF TEAM RO! FOX!"

As dragon finished in a loud tone heard by all the anbu stomped the ground and cheered, welcoming their new member. Speechless fox didn't know what to do till. "Go down there and meet your new family fox." Dragon whispered into his ear.

'Family.' Fox thought as he walked down and was greeted with more cheers and applause while people patted him on the back. 'I can get used to this.' We're his thoughts.
