The Soul Of Artemis

Artemis

Naruto walked the unfamiliar home. He still didn't talk to anybody and it doesn't seem like anybody was doing anything that was going to protect him. He had realized he was alone, and that he hasn't seen any of the children. He continued walking until he heard grunts.

He peeked inside the door and saw Neji and Hinata fighting? Though it looked like it wasn't serious. Though he could clearly tell that Neji was winning. The girl didn't even look as if she wasn't trying.

Naruto's eyes calculated back and forth and there was a male that hummed behind the child. It didn't quite scare Naruto but he turned around and saw Hiashi. He turned back around and continued to watch.

"Your eyes look calculating Naruto-kun." Naruto nodded, and spoke to the man.

"The girl isn't trying. I apologize for being blunt but I can tell." Naruto stopped, he looked at Neji. He looked bored, as if this wasn't a challenge.

"I'm unaware of why the girl is limiting her powers, I know why the boy is, because the girl isn't up to his standards, but the girl has no reason too." Hiashi was intrigued, how could he tell when somebody was holding back their chakra.

"How can you tell? You must have a real knack for chakra sensing. It might even surpass ours." Naruto blinked, he shook his head and spoke.

"You all can see chakra points, I can only feel chakra producing. If I hone in on a signature I can tell how much chakra is being produce and if they are fighting and I can feel how much chakra is being spent versus what could be spent." Naruto said and Hiashi marveled at the child.

"Who taught you that?" Hiashi was sure that there was nobody in the village that would touch Naruto with a ten foot pole let alone train him.

"The Animals. They Gather to me. They also call me Artemis." Naruto hadn't learned what that meant but he went along with his business.

"Would you like to try and spar with Neji? Maybe you can get that bored look off his face." Hiashi said and Naruto shrugged. He did a little sparring with some animals, though he could modify it to fit a human. He took off his sandals and knocked while opening the door.

"Pardon the intrusion, Neji-san and Hinata-san." Naruto said, he wasn't friendly with them so he used the only honorable honorific. Though the way he said Hinata was phrased as a question as if he didn't know if that was her name.

Hiashi followed after and Naruto, he spoke calmly.

"Hinata why don't you take a break. Neji will spar with his bride." Hinata looked clearly annoyed at that notion, though she quickly fixed her face and spoke.

"Neji is training me to be better. It's our training time." The way she said our made Naruto take a step back. He watched as her chakra suddenly mirrored that of a lion.

"I know you aren't afraid of a lion." A voice said, Naruto blinked as he listened to the daughter and father speak to one another.

"You are a fox, and even before that you are a goddess. You gather and reign over the animals. You are the boss, not some lion." Naruto knew that was true, he was the leader, people fall in line behind him.

"You show people who is in charge. Why the animals call you Artemis." That gave Naruto a sudden boost. He spoke calmly and enunciated every word.

"I'm sorry Hinata-San, though Neji-San looked bored and so I believed maybe he should spar with somebody that doesn't share the same techniques as him." Very calmly, Naruto let lose his chakra that made Hinata's eyes widened but Neji and Hiashi didn't feel a single rise.

"Are you fine with that Neji-San?" Naruto asked after he proved his point and Neji nodded. Naruto hummed a little. He wasn't sure how he would manage against somebody like Neji, though he would try.

Naruto watched as Neji got in a stance after Hiashi and Hinata gotten off the mat. Naruto nodded, and he just did what he did best. Sense the chakra. So he quickly moved as the last second to miss a palm to his heart.

"Brutal, to go after your heart so early."

Naruto blinked and dodged the hands, he hasn't been touched by those biased hands yet. He watched as the male tried to calculate just what Naruto could use, though all Naruto knew was Taijutsu.

That all the animals could teach him.

So he quickly kept dodging, and so when the male realized he wasn't getting anywhere with Taijutsu, that's when a little smirk popped up. Naruto hummed and he watched as the male calmed his breathing. Naruto felt the chakra move around his body.

"Help?" Naruto asked mentally, because there was somebody talking to him.

"Sure." The voice answered, and the minute Neji went to hit Naruto, there was a chakra wall in his way. Though he couldn't see it, it was extreme faint. He was sure Hiashi could see it.

Hiashi did indeed see the faint lines of blue cover Naruto like a blanket. No chakra seemed to access the wall which meant any Chakra based attacks wouldn't work on Naruto.

The Animals really did gift the Hyuga clan with something special.

"I'll train you with your powers gifted from the lands. You'll be a force to be reckoned with Artemis." Naruto frowned.

"My name is Naruto." Naruto said as he bowed to Neji, Neji blinked but watched Naruto walk away.

"In this life you are Naruto. In a past life you were Artemis."

Naruto only slipped back on his sandals and headed to talk with This voice about whatever this Artemis nonsense was.
