Zenko; Feral

Return to Society

Umino Iruka was a little off put by the sudden new addition by Hyuuga Hinata's side but Hizashi, leader of the Branch Family, explained certain things to him, "...and that's why he must remain by Hinata-sama's side at all time. Remember to warn the children to not aggravate him. He might be docile towards Hinata-sama but he is still more feral than an Inuzuka. He would not hesitate to go for the kill if he thinks that she's threatened..." He surmised, "Just think of him as a rather vicious guard dog and support animal,"

Iruka eyed the boy, the Kyuubi, with distrusting eyes. He knew not to pick on wild animal so he will ignore the boy until someone causes an incident. Chances are, like most wild animal, the other party will be the ones at fault.

Classes are boring, Naruto decided. But at least he got to stay with Hinata!

She's diligently listening to the teacher talking about...something. Luckily Naruto can read. With new material, Minato started to guide him once more while Hinata took her notes. When he poked at her stationary, she gave him a pencil and a piece of paper. Interest piqued, as he's more used to writing on the ground or with random liquids using his fingers, he took the pencil and studied how she hold hers before copying. It felt right...

When the class finally stopped for a break, Hinata looked to the side and found Naruto drawing...a seal?!

Clearly Naruto was bored in the forest. So Minato, with no other materials to teach Naruto, has started his son down the road of Fuuinjutsu. The best material for study was the most complex seal he had ever created; the Eight Trigram Seal. Naruto spent many hours studying the pattern on his belly and soon started sketching his own. Though he never activated them as Minato had warned him against it.

Hinata shakily raised her hand, "Iruka-sensei...do you know seals?"

Iruka looked at her in confusion at the sudden out of topic question, "A bit but yes?"

She picked up the paper, one of many that Naruto had somehow dug out of her school bag while she was distracted by her lesson, and showed him, "What does this do?"

It should be noted that Naruto's state was like a scholar syndrome. He stick to what he learned in the earlier years for 6 whole years, making him quite the unorthodox Seal Master. Basically he had created a whole new seal that Iruka had never seen before and the inks even moved like the pattern of an octopus!

Iruka warily grabbed hold of the rather high leveled seal and studied the thing but couldn't make head or tail. In the end he summoned an ANBU to send the suspicious seal to the Hokage who should know more considering who his student was.

Hiruzen was dumbfounded by the seal handed to him. When he found out that it was doodled by Naruto, he was even more confused. Does the boy even know what he was doing? So he ignored his papers and spent lunch studying the confusing seal, wondering exactly what it was for and if it was even safe to destroy...

It was time for Ninja portion of the class. They were going to unlock or train their chakra, picking up random leaves on the ground and place them on their temple. Uchiha Sasuke succeeded on the first try, causing the girls to coo at him and ignoring their own study. Hinata on the other hand focused to make the leaf on her head rotate clockwise as that was her chakra coil's direction. As a Hyuuga who practiced Juuken, she had been trained to train her chakra from a very young age. Naturally, due to this, she was ahead of her classmate. This was why Iruka did not watch her much...normally. Today wasn't normal...at all...

Naruto wondered what they're doing and grinned. He used his tails to sweep all the leaves into a pile and threw himself in. Hinata almost break her focus trying not to laugh at his antic. Iruka shook his head at the shenanigan. But when Naruto stood up, it was like looking at a walking bush. All the leaves that touched him had attached themselves to him and moved unnaturally. Blinking, Hinata lost her focus while Naruto tilt his head at her. He then made the leaves rotate like she was doing, looking like a moving kinetic art made of leaves.
