The Beast Inside (A Naruto Fanfiction) #Wattys2016

Reunion

*** Two Tails POV ***

I look around and see that I am in a cage. It is a little small, barely enough room to walk around. But there is a door that leads to a bigger cage with something else in there. I can sense its chakra, and it feels very familiar but yet I can't put a name on it.

I walk up to the door and I notice that it is slightly open. I took my paw and pushed it farther, allowing me to get out.

When I opened the door and went through I can see a figure where that chakra is from. I walk up to it and it looks familiar.

It turns around.

"Hello Matatabi, long time no see." It says.

"Hello, how do you know me?"

"You should know me. I did come from the same place you did after all." Its deep voice said.

I don't even reconise the voice.

"Are you a tailed beast too?" I ask

"Yes, if you don't remember who I am I'll give you a hint. We were best friends. A cat and a turtle."

"Isobu?"

"Yes, I see you finally remember me. I was getting a little worried that you wouldn't remember you old friend."

"Good to see you!" I shout happily now that I am with my friend again.

"Good to see you too!"

After the excitement has died down I look around.

"Where are we?" I ask

"Its a long story. Are you willing to listen to it all?" Isobu asked.

"I don't think I am going anywhere anytime soon. I have time to listen." I said with a smile forming on my face.

"We are in my jinchuuriki, Ryuza Hanshu. He was a shinobi of Suna the hidden sand village. We are both in his subconsciousness." Isobu said

"Wait, he was a shinobi of Suna? What happened?" I ask a little confused

"You know the Akatsuki right?"

"Yes, those jerks! They killed my precious Yugito!" I shouted

"Well, they attacked Suna a year ago. Hanshu was 12 then. Hanshu told the Kazekage that he would defend the village along side him, against the Akatsuki. They knew that the Akatsuki was coming because of us. When they came, we were nearly defeated. Most of our chakra has been drained. Hanshu would rather die than the have the Kazekage killed. So Hanshu told the Akatsuki members who came after them that he would go with them without any problems, if they left Gaara alone. So they took Hanshu, making him a rogue ninja. But the citizens don't know that part. They think that Hanshu was killed and I was extracted from him. Hanshu has full control of me now, I allow him to have my chakra. I trust him. It doesn't bother Hanshu that they think he is dead." Isobu started

"Tell me about his clan, his powers and his reputation." I said

"Hanshu is a member of the Ryuza clan, their specialty is the Scale Style. They can manipulate Scales. Hanshu is a master at this Jutsu. He is the best in his whole clan. Ryuza's have a bond with reptiles and some other animals. Hanshu also is the best at that too. They can summon reptiles. Not only can Hanshu do that he can also transform into reptiles and partial transform. If he wanted to he can be half turtle and half iguana. Hanshu can summon in dragons and others but he hasn't told me yet what they are. Hanshu is probably one of the more powerful members here. He can use water style and wind style. He can also use Ice style but he rarely uses it, he mostly uses scale style. He doesn't really have a personality. He can definitely kill people if needed with ease. And lastly he has the Shiakumangan." Isobu said

"Shiakumangan? What is that?" I ask

"It is a extremely rare Dojutsu. So rare that there isn't any records of it before. It allows him to basically slow down time, but he can move normal speed. Making him dodge almost any attack. For him the world slows down, for others he speeds up. So fast a untrained eye can't even see him."

"Wow he sounds powerful! So when can I meet him?" I ask

"Sometime soon, he is passed out right now from the sealing earlier." Isobu said

*** Hanshu POV ***

I can hear voices, but I can't see yet. My eyes are closed, they are still very heavy.

"Hanshu?........ Hanshu, can you hear me?........." A voice that I can't recognize asked, I can barely tell what they are saying.

I nod as my I try to force my eyes open. With a lot of effort my eyes open. I look around the room I am in. I am in the clinic that I was in after that bounty hunt. But this time Pein was in here.

"Hey...........how............feel?" I can make out of Pein's voice. My vision is barely with me and so is my hearing. But they are coming back.

After a few minutes my vision and my hearing is back but my mind is still clouded.

"Hey Pein, what did you say?" I ask, my voice is very rasp and dry.

"Hey Hanshu, how do you feel?" Pein repeats himself.

"I feel OK, my throat is very dry and I am very thirsty and hungry. My head is very clouded though."

"How long have I been out and where is everyone?" I ask

"You have been out 6-7 hours. Everyone has been outside the door waiting for you, to make sure you are ok. Do you want me to bring them in?" Pein asked

"Yeah, and while you are at it bring me a glass of water and a bowl no wait a bucket of ramen. I am starving!" I said

"Ok I'll be right back." Pein says and he left the room.

A few minutes later Pein comes back with a bucket, a glass of water and everyone behind him. He hands me the cup of water and I gulp it down. Then he hands me the bucket of ramen and I start to eat it, then I realize that there are people here too!

"Hello" I said in between bites of ramen.

"Hello." They all reply.

"How do you feel Hanshu?" They all ask. What is up with them? Why are they all talking at once?

"I am fine now that I have my food! But my head is still clouded." I said and went back to Ramen! Yummmm!

"That is normal, it will clear up soon." Pein told me as I ate another bite of ramen.

This is so good!

I suddenly feel energy and I get up and out of my bed.

As I get up the give me shocked looks.

"How are you up so fast? You should be down for another day, at the least!" Konan exclaimed.

"I just feel energized all of a sudden." I said as I started leaving the room. I can feel their stares on my back.

"I wouldn't stare at me if I were you." I warn as I feel their stares come off.

I keep walking to my room, speeding up the more I walk.

What is going on?

I finally get to my room and close my door behind me.

I sit on my bed, just resting.

Isobu? I ask

Yeah? I hear Isobu say, making me feel happy.

Is she in there? I ask

Yes. Isobu said

May I speak to her? I ask wanting to meet Matatabi.

She can't speak to you yet. But you can come in and see her. Isobu said warmly.

I concentrate on getting inside my head, but without any luck I give up.
