Enter the Academy (Part-1)
Okami adjusted himself in his new apartment, he was happy for Naruto didn't take the money for rent. As he helped Grandma with nearly everything, he always change her clothes, make her bath, and then feed her through spoon on a daily basis with a gentle smile on his face every single time.
Both him and grandma didn't need extra furniture anyway as one bed is sufficient for her to sleep, he sleep on the floor of the room holding her hand.
And after a week he decided he had to work now... they need the money.
-------
He readied himself and went out of the apartment but actually he turned towards.... nothing in particular.
"Please Look after Grandma, If anything happens, please call doctor right away, and don't worry of the money, i will call it off once I get back... Thank you"
He bowed towards the empty air and silently walk to find the work.
A shadow with a Poof!! of smoke came, a mask man with a orange book and silver heaven defying hair watched the kid with extreme curiosity... the boy sensed him, the boy who by norms is a civilian, sensed him... him who is a Jonin, and that too when he was suppressing his chakra levels.
'Interesting', with that the masked man vanished with poof!! of smoke and appeared near Hokage in nothing but a mere moment.
"What is it Kakashi?", asked the Old man Hokage
"There is something I need to report Lord Hokage"
-------
Okami found a job... In Library that is, here he has to take care of Books, memorize where are books and make sure to maintain decorum and silence in Library.
-------
The next day the same thing happened, it was just another ANBU and in another direction, he talked to them even though they were suppressing their chakra levels to the minimum.
This aroused the interest of ANBU Black Ops, and also of Lord Hokage's, for the boy is a very powerful Sensor, and also his chakra can't be sensed by even Yamanaka's, heck even ANBUS don't hear him walking, they always wondered, how the boy could walk so silently, even his chakra is invisible to even sensors, that guy is practically a Ghost, until unless that guy move out of that exit door, there is no way to find the boy
And to top it all off... the boy is a Born Sensor, a very powerful sensor that is...
That boy is a Natural Born Assassin...
And of course, any one who comes any way near Naruto is being thoroughly checked and only after checking Okami history and his family, did Hokage let Naruto have the tenent.
-------
Apparently, the pay was quite good in Library, and the Librarian pays him on weekly basis for the boy wouldn't be able to survive with monthly payments.
The Job was... Boring, people don't come to library so often, and he read whatever he could with that free time in his hands.
With Great Spiritual powers, the boy was granted and with what can only be called the perfect brain, he perfectly remembers everything he sees just once, he can even notice if anything is out of order just by seeing once
-------
Moving apartments turned out to be an easier than expected. Naruto, true to his word, helped Okami with the transition...
Naruto even help looking after Grandma, and keep telling her things while he was on part time work
According to Okami, the boy just never quite down, he was loud, brash, and keep going on and on about being the best Hokage ever.
On the Other Hand Okami rarely speak with anyone except that of Naruto of course, he was rather forced to talk to the boy because Naruto is like a rabbit on a steroids everyday.
The apartment itself was small and simple, traditional with wooden floors and white walls, old windows that were a pain to open and close, a small refrigerator and an ancient cooking stove that only took coals.
But for such a great price, it seemed like a palace to Okami.
He even give rent to Naruto on a fair basis and thanks naruto for taking care of Grandma in his absence...
-------
Grandma is getting better with all this medical assistance, she was able to get now...
One time, when Okami was in Library, and naruto was blabbering about Being the greatest Hokage ever, Naruto felt an Old hand on his head, He raised his head to look at the smiling grandma who was coaxing Naruto.
Naruto Blushed and grin like an Idiot, not knowing where is this feeling of warmth and family is coming from...
Things are going pretty perfectly and Grandma is able to move her hands quite often, by which she would coax Okami and Naruto everyday without fail...
She would get better... Okami couldn't contain his excitement and jumped around like a 7 Year Old Child, he was supposed to be...
He was double happy for Naruto jumped with him as well, for the first time, he wonders, is this how it feels to have a brother?
Naruto even taught Okami, how to eat ramen and the best place in the entire Konoha... The Ichiraku Ramen
He truly find the Ramen too fascinating, as he alongside naruto ate 3 bowls... but his eyes widened when he saw Naruto was on his 10th bowl of Ramen
'Just how fast does he eat?'
He smiled looking at the scene though
-------
They look after Grandma... but some mistakes are still done
After all, they were kids, nearing 7 and 6 years old, how can they take care of a old lady who was not in a position to do any motor function
Kakashi always came whenever Naruto and Okami were not there and help the old lady...
Whenever the old lady look at him, the cyclops man just smile cheerfully with his eyes in half crescent moon position...
Just Like that 1 year has been passed
-------
Everything was going perfectly till it came the destined day, the day the Kyuubi died, and the day they throw stones to him...
Okami shook his head in disappointment as he went to work...
When he came back, his eyes widened
Apparently some Drunkards managed to enter the apartment and ransacked the entire place...
He somehow stealthily made his way towards, his apartment door
And there lied grandma on the bed
He gently smiled, "Grandma, I am Home"
When he hold her hand, he panicked for she had a very high fever...
He panicked and turn around to bring the doctor
Ooofff
He slammed into one of the drunkard in front of his door...
"Sorry, I am in a bit of a hurry"
"Why you little shit... Get him, he is living in the same building as that of that Demon Brat, he must be related to the demon as well"
The hidden ANBU frowned... But his orders were clear, Protect Naruto, and no one else is his priority
So he did nothing...
As the ANBU moved again to find Naruto, who seemed to have disappeared from the apartment
"Let me go, I truly am In a hurry", said Okami
"GET HIM"
A stick hit his head as blood started coming out of it... as he fell to the ground
The stick was moved again above the head of the civilian
"DIE YOU LITTLE SHIT"
The Bat moved...
The bat hit... Grandma?
His breathing haggard, his eyes widened as he watched the smiling figure of the old woman giggling at him
She was glad that she was able to move... she finally was able to move and she protected him... her precious Grandchild
And he is finally pissed off...
"GRAANNDDDMMMAAAAA NNNNOOOOOOOOOOO NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
His iris's started to glow a light blue with energy sparks shoot off them
A portal opened up in the sky and a giant demonic looking three pronged hook with descended from the heaven into the ground below, forming a even bigger portal then the one in the sky. By now everyone, was shocked sober by these new turn of events.
Suddenly, the hook started to ascend with something monstrous attached to it. First illusion chains ran across the apartment and connected to the adjacent walls, before disappearing into nonexistence. What came next can only be described as simply nightmarish. Surrounded by chains and cloth, was a gigantic mummified demon with spiky, leather pauldron's on its shoulders, and spikes going from the back of its neck traveling up past the face whose upper part was wrapped with bloody gauze except for the single hole for the right eye could pass through, giving it a bloody Mohawk feel that went pass its face and down to the bottom of the chin. Two normal but very dead looking deep blue arms intertwine with the demons neck put together by the two hands grabbing more chains and an oval shaped amulet of a woman sat between them. Two crescent-like spiky, winged, fleshy pillars, erupted from the ground that appear to be attached via chains to the demon, the colors of blue on the outside and red on the inside with runic symbols etched inside was seen. It had no legs they could as the bottom is still submerged underground in the nether. Once done and the sky portal, with the hook, disappeared, the head shot to the heaven and let out a terrifying roar with its oversized crooked top and bottom canines.
"DIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE DDDDDDDIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE DIE DIE DIE DIE"
"Pain"
That is what every single drunkard was feeling as they clutched their heads with their hands, they screamed and screamed with no one to protect them now....
They slammed the fist frequently on the floor as they wished for someone to just end the pain they are feeling in their heads right now
That Genjutsu was sure a hella one, as every Konoha civilian inside the apartment died horribly in pain
It was most gruesome display of dying horribly under some inhuman pain...
-------
(Council room)
Sarutobi was bored out of his degrading old mind because he had to sit in yet another boring council meeting that seemed to have nothing to do with him or his shinobi.
He looked around the room specifically the civilian council. Comprised of thirty of the most annoying people in the whole nation; they were just talking about the civilian affairs and how to improve them, nothing to remotely do with the shinobi in the room, him included. Those being the heads of all the shinobi clans that made the other half of the council: the Aburame, Akimichi, Hyuga, Inuzuka, Nara, Yamanaka, and of course his own clan.
Then there were the village elders and his advisors from time to time: Homura, Koharu, and Danzo, his old teammate and former best friend. Over the years they have became more distant to each other, they still talked, but it was purely professional.
It was then little red flags danced through the wisen mans head as all of the civilian side of the council seemed to grow increasingly nervous. He picked up a few things here and there like the way that some of them kept looking from the clock to him, the nervous whispers between two or three council members and the fact that they all seemed to be sweating.
Then it hit him like a ton of bricks.
Oh, it hit him alright, and everyone involved would suffer for it.
The room suddenly became deathly quit. All eyes shot to the old Hokage so quick in silent terror as the killer intent that permeated off of the third like sweat, which in itself was so palpable a dark aura that little light shine through surrounded him. safe to say that the Hokage was not mad, he was furious. The ruler of Konoha then slowly rising from his seat, head still lowered.
"What have you done?" he asked, barely a whispered but everyone heard him perfectly.
Everyone in the room was quiet; nobody wanted to feel the full wrath of the third Hokage's ire.
Not used to this terror, a middle-aged portly man with short brown hair, brown eyes and in a regal purple Kimono from the civilian council side shakily stood up on shaky, stubby legs and stuttered out. "W-w-what d-do y-you mean lord Hokage?"
"…did you think I wouldn't have noticed? ME, THE HOKAGE; I may be old but I'm sure as hell not senile yet so. Tell. Me. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" By the end of Hiruzen's mini rant he has gone from softly emphasizing himself to a rage filled bellow. Standing at his fullest he tipped his hat so that everyone could see his eyes burning with righteous fury, leering down terror stricken ones from across the council room.
The advisors looked to their old friend in both fear and surprise. Never have they seen their calm and collective Hokage in such a state, it's quite a scary sight for them to be honest.
Finally, after a few moments that felt like they would go on forever, Koharu spoke up, trying to coast her friend back to some semblance of normalcy.
"Hiruzen-kun, what's wrong?"
When the Hokage spoke, his voice was so cold, it physically lowered the temperature in the room.
"Why are we here?" he said coolly, "Why are we all here if these aren't shinobi matters. So far we have heard nothing that justifies me being here. Not to mention your audacity for demanding my presence, you do not demand anything from me. This is not a democracy, this is a dictatorship. I am your dictator. So I ask you again and you better give me a straight answer. Why are we here?"
Nobody spoke, they were to frighten to speak, to move… to breath. It was at last he asked a simple question, a question that every civilian seem to glaze over, a question that drove the last nail into the imaginary coffin.
"What is today's Date?"
Those four words brought a sudden realization to everyone except for those who were involved, namely the civilians, in whatever they have done.
When realization hit, the shinobi clan heads and the elders head shot up, widen their eyes, before squinting and brought their killing intent down onto the squeamish civilians. Not having the strength, or mental capacity, to counter all that killing intent, a woman in her late twenties with black hair and an expensive looking black Kimono that had sakura blossoms on the bottom stood up and hysterically confessed what they did.
"WE DID WHAT YOU WERE TO CHICKEN SHIT TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE!" she screamed at the top of her head fearful, then laughed manically, "AND NOW, IT'S TOO LATE, YOU PISS ANTS! THE DEMON WILL BE PURGED FROM THIS SACRED VILLAGE AND ALL THE PEOPLE THE DIED HAS BEEN AVENGE—"
It was then a VERY pissed of Inuzuka Tsume shot to her feet practically frothing at the moth, shut the women up with a nice claw swipe to the jugular, spraying blood everywhere, some even went to her face giving her a more feral and deadly look.
"You FOOL'S! Don't you realize what you just DONE!?" She screamed at them, "You actually think that a seven year old boy, A FUCKING CHILD, is the Kyuubi? If that was true, and it is CERTAINLY as hell ISN'T, then WE'D ALL BE DEAD BY NOW!"
At those words some of the civilians eyes widen tremendously and looks of absolute horror have cross their faces at the atrocities they have committed.
Before anything else happened Nara Shikaku, with a strangely serious face plastered on his usually bored faced marched to the wooden door, "Enough of this, we don't have much time for this petty morale debate, we need to try and stop this before it's too late."
That was all it took for the clan heads, the elders, and Sarutobi himself to snap at attention realizing they have a defenseless boy to save and headed to the door, but before the Hokage pushed opened the door, he paused.
"ANBU!" he shouted
To the call of the 'god of shinobi' four snarling animal masked ninja appeared bowing next to him, awaiting their new orders.
"Make sure all of them are tried for an attempted assassination and let Anko have extra fun with them." they saluted.
With the now treasonous council taken care of, he pushed open the door, only to be stop dead in his tracks as with everyone in the room. A blood curtailing inhuman Roar filled everybody's ear drums and follow by wails of hysteria all for them to just stop completely in dead silence.
Realizing that someone must have put a silencing seal on the door, he ran at top speed with reckless abandoned toward the sounds and fearing for the worst, in hoping that his surrogate grandchild was still alive and not part of that horrible sound.

(Somewhere in Konoha)
"Hah… hah… hah…"
Naruto panted heavily, his orange jacket torn, unable to catch his breath. He was currently running away from a mob of villagers that wanted his head. Though he did not know why they abuse and starve him so he has a stunted growth at age 7, he knows that every time this year, the Kyuubi festival which is coincidentally his birthday to be exact, the attacks become more frequent and more deadly every year past....
Passing through the alley to avoid the main street seemed ideal as going through the main street only served to draw more attention to the boy. He was hoping his ANBU protectors or his jiji would save him before the crowd catches up to him. Under normal circumstances, the blonde was always protected by the Anbu, he never saw them in person except for an intervention for they lurked in the shadows, only seen when they chose. Unfortunately the Anbu were so few in number so it was so hard to notice if they were watching after him at all, and today seems to be that day.
"Die you filthy demon!" a villager seethed with malice who hurled a pitchfork at the boys exposed calves which grazed him leaving a good sized gash that was bleeding profusely.
"Ahh it hurts!" the boy cried in pain. Running now with a limp like the devil himself was on his tail, which was not far from the truth.
After a few minutes of running and evading attacks from the demon in human flesh, pun intended, the blonde he finally lost them. Naruto knew that his respite from the chaos wouldn't last long, not with the bad ninja chasing him too, but still he caught his breathe. The only good thing that has happened is the bleeding has stopped and the gash closed halfway. He still doesn't know why he heals really fast, but Hokage- jiji always called him special when he mentioned his miraculous healing factor.
"Never Run away from your House, Idiot"
A voice entered Naruto's ears, as he tried to look back but a sharp pain in the neck made him unconscious...
-------
Kakashi was in bad mood for he was searching for Naruto in the streets, when he felt a sharp chakra from the apartment, his body flickered as he saw the dead civilians in the hallway of the Apartment and the heavily crying Okami with the old lady in his arms
Kakashi's eyes grew colder he truly liked the old lady, he really liked taking care of her...
Kakashi gritted his teeth as rage boiled inside of him, as his body flickered yet again...
-------
The horrifying screams were heard from the streets, as the very very pissed Kakashi just massacred the entire Konoha's civilian horde. Let's just say, they died very very horribly
When Lord Hokage Alongside ANBU Black Ops found Naruto
They saw Kakashi carrying the unconscious Naruto in his arms, with blood covering Kakashi, whose eyes were cold, very very cold that is...
They turned their head to look at the civilians, who were murdered and died in brutal and in very horrible way, their bodies were not even in proper position to give them proper burial...
-------
It was raining heavily as Okami stared at the tombstone he made for Grandma, near Grandpa's stone, Okami closed his fists and cried silently...
Kakashi watched the burial ceremony from the shadows
-------
Naruto opened his eyes in the hospital, hoping to find no one...
!!!
He blinked as he watched the figure of a boy with only gentleness in his eyes...
Okami smiled...
"Hey Naruto, I came to pick you up"
Naruto's eyes widened as he cried and rushed to hug Okami for he finally have someone to pick him and wait for him now
-------
Naruto and Okami visited the Grave of Grandma's
As there he finally decided to become strong and rich enough to never let anyone else die like his family.
It was time to enter the academy
