14 Super Strong Senpai of Team 8 (part-1)
(Naruto's apartment)
Okami opened a locked door that he didn't open for years now.
Not since grandma Airi, locked it. And took Okami to the Next Room to live with her...
Okami stood in the room, looking all around.
This is the room that started all, He took Grandma, and started living here.
Just outside this room was the place, where a Civilian killed her.
This is the room where he last held her hands.
When Okami went inside the room, It Just Contains many pictures of Grandma, Grandpa, and Dad with newborn Okami, Laughing cheering.
He smiled and wipe the dirt from the picture. When he first started to walk.
Grandpa was holding the toddler Okami.
Grandpa, the man who gave away everything for his family.
Okami closed his eyes, he remembered every detail of it. Everything, like it, only happened yesterday.
He remembered him pleading Okami to speak, looking and talking to his Coma-state Old wife, Silently crying in a Corner. He also remembers the old man's death.
Okami tears finally fell down his cheeks, as he sat on the floor looking at the pictures of Grandma, Grandpa, and Toddler Okami laughing, Taking baby steps...
They were never proud of Okami.
Mom died when he was born.
Dad died when he was a newborn.
Grandpa died when he was an Idiot, who was always staring ahead. The Old man died of only hardship.
Grandma died to save him. The Old woman died after living a life, where she had to see her son, daughter in law and husband die in front of her.
Okami cried heavily and grit his teeth.
People in the slum called him the cursed child.
They said that he only brought death and misery to the people around him.
Okami never stopped or argued with them because they were not wrong, He wishes he was never born.
If it's not for him. Everything would have been fine.
And now that it's over, now that everyone is gone, All he wants is to hold Grandma's hand.
Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad.
A perfect memory...
Ability to remember and comprehend everything in just a moment.
He is a bloody Genius. A child prodigy. He can't forget.
And because he can't forget, time can not heal him.
It's a gift and a curse.

(7 Days Later) (At Graveyard)
"Hey Mom, Hey Dad, Hey Grandma, Grandpa, You know what, I finally am Going to have a team, well it doesn't matter anyway... I bought a dozen roses for your grave today and well I'm in the grass on my knees, I Just wanna talk to you for a while, I got some things I need to say...
-------
(6 Months Back)
Once, Okami was done training for the day, he was taking a break in the training ground, where he leans on a tree.
It was then, when a Sense hits him.
"Grrrr", Inside his mind, he could hear the growling.
"What happened?"
"That bastard White Zetsu found me"
"Who?"
"No time to explain, I need to distract him and take him far from you, You are not strong enough to face that Old man, You just listen for I have a lot to say"
"..."
"They are after me because I carry a valuable seal with me... a seal passed in our generation, and contains the will of ancestor Fenrir"
"..."
"If I leave now, they will be able to find me, That's why I decided to entrust the power with you"
"Wait, I just want to be a normal Shinobi who will just earn a Lot of mon--"
"We don't have the time now, so, I will unlock the seal right now, I will cover your Chakra and spiritual leakage, No one will know"
"Wait, did you not hear what I sa--"
"RELEASE"
"wait wait WAIT WAIT"
Following that Yell inside his mind, Okami's vision changed and kept staring ahead. His muscles went limp, and mouth hanging open.
Without a movement, without an action. He just sits there, staring ahead.
But this time, his vision was seeing something, A vortex, a Dark vortex. Okami put great effort to maintain a clear mind, staring intently at the transformation in front of him.
Within the black vortex, a small, round, shiny, red object gradually came out.
Blood
That was a drop of Blood.
The Blood dropped on the ground, and something begins to grow out of the soil.
"What is going on? Where is this place?"
Then he saw a Skeleton, sitting cross-legged in front of him.
The skeleton in front of him had no eyes, but he felt like it looked like his own. It obviously didn't have any mouth but was clearly mocking its weakness.
And he saw the scenes like a movie.
Kan Korimachi... A threat one could not even comprehend. An indestructible god of war.
The Wielder of Sacred Kekkai Genkai, Noryokugan. The God sage
And sole summoner of the black wolf. Who was once Strong enough to be called Divine Wolf Fenrir.
"Heaven is where his level was"
Okami was just standing there in front of the Skeleton, watching the life of great Kan Korimachi, when the skeleton flew out towards him. Flying past his hand and embedded himself on his chest.
Agh..!!
This was a bit of a horror. With a skeleton smashing onto his chest, he cried out, and then the skeleton started to emit a fluorescent light and penetrated deep into the pores of Okami's limbs.
Suddenly, pain exploded all over his body, but the pain was not an ordinary pain, but the pain from the depths of the bone! He breathed in painfully, his body bent like shrimp, with waves of cramps.
AAAGGGHHHH
Kuuuuuuu
His whole body's bones were shattering at that moment.
This was not an illusion, this much pain is definitely not an Illusion.
The wisp of strange energy continuously repairing the broken bones, but far slower than the damage speed.
When the repair was finished, it was crushed again.
Human bones wrap around bone marrow and bone marrow nerve. Any small touch to them can bring great harm.
One can only imagine his suffering at that moment.
In his body, not a single bone wasn't shattered.
Even for others, even if their strength of thousands of times higher than his, they would have probably fainted now. But Okami couldn't.
A tragic cry came from his mouth. Tears of Pain were rolling from his eyes.
Huff*Huff
Okami breathes heavily.
Finally, It's over.
The Drop of blood appeared again.
And shot inside Okami's middle Head.
Puuhhhhhh
He sprayed the blood from his mouth. and the blood started coming out of his every pore. Eyes. Nails. Mouth. Ears.
Things started to get blurred as Okami saw all of his blood lying on the ground.
He truly wished to just close his eyes and sleep. But he couldn't.
Warm Blood. and heavy weakness overtook Okami's body. yet he couldn't pass out.
He just lied there, for what seems like ages.
And when the blood stopped coming out of him.
He saw Kan Korimachi once again.
"To the one who was chosen by the descendent of Fenrir to be my successor. You have abundant of Spiritual energy inside your body. From today onwards, You are my Rasen Clan's member"
"..."
Okami was lying there, without even a single strength to talk or reply. Or even move any part of his body.
"You are given my Body and Blood, But you have to remember. In the absence of willpower, the most complete collection of virtues and talents is wholly worthless"
"..."
"When the day comes that trees shed their leaves, the sacred man shall bring forth the clash of titans."
He couldn't understand.
His vision was getting blurred.
He was getting tired.
He wanted to sleep.
And he closed his eyes.
*Huff*Huff
With a gasp of breath, he woke up, his shirt sticking to his moist skin from the perspiration on his body.
He looked here and there and he was in the training ground where he left this Noon.
!!!
Wait, Afternoon, this is night-time
"Okami"
"Naruto?", muttered Okami though it hurts talking and even muttering.
"You bastard, I am so glad that you are alright", Naruto gave him a bear hug with some tears.
"What... Happened", he asked feeling the sting while talking.
"You were absent the whole day, so I search for you... When I found you, you were staring ahead, and not moving, I tried to shake you, But nothing happened"
"T-Then you suddenly started screaming in pain"
"..."
"You were screaming and kept on screaming"
'Wait, does that mean, that was real? No, let's think about it, Naruto recognized me so my appearance is the same as before, My Lean body structure doesn't seem to change either'
"I thought of getting Ji-Ji for you, but.. you were holding my hand so hard that I couldn't level... I thought... I thought...", Naruto started crying.
Okami barely and painfully smile.
"It's... alright, I am fine", He tried to stand up.
"I am... Fin--
!!!!
That was the moment Okami realized, he was in terrible pain. As he fell back again
"Okami", Naruto holds Okami's hand, just to support him.
'Something did change alright, Something is very wrong with my body'
"Let's go to the hospital"
"It's fine... it's fine, I just need some rest", Okami barely smile
Naruto was about to say something.
"Naruto... Please help me... get to the apartment"
Naruto reluctantly nodded. "Why are you talking like you are in pain?"
Okami barely smiled again.
-------
(Midnight)
Okami who was lying on his bed opened his eyes.
'I can't sleep... what is happening?'
After he took that trip to... god knows where. He was feeling like he is passively absorbing something every second.
But Okami could not put his finger on it.
Okami barely sits up, crossed his legs with pain. and begin to concentrate.
Before long, he was meditating, and the Energy that was being sucked by him passively... Sped up.
"The sage of the sacred Kekkai Genkai has four paths"
!!!
Okami opened his eyes. And started looking here and there.
'Who was that?'
His breathing was reckless, but he couldn't find who spoke.
Reluctantly, he went into Meditation again.
"The sage of the sacred Kekkai Genkai has four paths. Four paths, unique to the inheritor of the Sacred Blood, the Noryokugan Kekkai Genkai"
"..."
"The first path, the elemental Path"
"..."
"The second path, the Physical path"
"..."
"The third Path, Enlightenment Path"
"The fourth Path, Dimensional Path"
"..."
'That was natural energy that Grandma Airi told me about'
-------
Okami was in the hospital, for he couldn't move his body like normal.
This aroused Hokage's suspicion and he personally went to ask how it happened.
Okami told Hokage that he tried to master the Sage arts that he heard from Grandma Airi during his education.
Hokage frowned. Not Buying it.
Jiraiya was being called, and he confirmed the boy's theory.
Though he could not tell whether the boy is telling the truth or not. But the boy tried to gather Natural energy is true.
There are signs of that.
But Okami was passively absorbing the Natural energy, no matter how little.
He was given an earful from Kurenai for his stunt.
She was so harsh on him that he felt like he would die under her fierce attack.
Eventually, everything calmed.
Kurenai stopped taking missions and took care of him.
Ten-Ten came.
Lee and Team Gai came as well.
Surprisingly, Hatake Kakashi was there, reading his book while giggling pervertedly.
"..."
Okami wondered why this pervert even came to visit him in the first place.
Naruto practically lived in the hospital with him.
And, to his surprise and amusement, Naruto got a stalker.
Either her stalking ability is far too good, Or Naruto is just Naive.
Okami believes in the later.
-------
3 Months later, with the therapy and care of people, he finally was able to move like normal again.
Even though he just recovered, but he was far superior to before.
The difference was so great. Okami noticed it in one go.
He was healthier, stronger, faster, His eye-sight is better.
And he feels like, his body passive in-taking of Natural energy has grown to some degree.
Though, Just like before, his chakra can't be sensed, and he moves without a noise.
He was far superior to his past self already.
And after all this time of thinking, he found a way to the four paths.
'Elemental path, I think I know where to start'
-------
(Today)
Okami was standing in training ground 8.
He turned his head to look at the three Genins running at full speed towards the Training ground.
He turned his head to the other side, watching Kurenai sensei reading the book while leaning on the tree.
"Sensei, the genins are here"
Kurenai smiled.
