Chapter Two: Start on a New Life

The four men watched as the laboratory burned down to the ground before both Kakashi and Jiraiya turned to them.

"You three are now officially free from that place as you don't ever have to worry about going back there. May I suggest that you come with us so that we can have our healer check on any wounds that you may have and that so Naruto can receive care. It will be a while before he is back up to full strength again. Besides that our ruling elder has an ulterior motive for freeing you." stated Kakashi as Gaara and Sasuke looked at each other.

*What do you think?* Gaara asked Sasuke mentally.

*I don't sense any deceit and besides that both you and I know that he is right about Naruto. He has gone too long with a lot of restraint on him because of the moon cycles. I don't see any harm of hearing them out.* replied Sasuke.

*Your right. We do owe them for saving us.* added Gaara as they turned their attention back to the two older men. "All right we will go with you." Gaara replied as the two older men smiled. Jiraiya let out a long loud whistle as a huge toad the size of a house hopped over to them. Gaara and Sasuke stared at the beast with wide eyes.

"Your welcome to ride with us as it is a long journey by foot." Jiraiya stated as he and Kakashi climbed on top of the toad laying Naruto down on the toad's head where they sat. Both Sasuke and Gaara shook their heads no as they began to transform into their true forms. With their inhibitor collars off of them, they could now access all of their powers and transform into their true forms. Kakashi and Jiraiya watched in horror as they could hear and see the bones in the two teens bodies stretch, bend, and snap as they transformed before their eyes. A long spiky raccoon tail ripped out of Gaara's tail bone. The tail had many of the same markings as seen on his face as it was a light brown color much like sand. A pair of raccoon ears stretched out from the sides of Gaara's head which matched his tail. Both of his hands and feet became like paws as his nails stretched into claws. More of the markings appeared on his face down to his neck and from the wrist half way up his forearm and from his ankles half way up his lower legs. His body became much sleeker as his Caucasian skin was now the same color as his fur covered tail, ears, and paws; only it still looked like skin and not fur. All three boys were wearing the same outfit consisting of a white teeshirt and a pair of black Capri pants. They had no shoes on their feet as around their necks they wore a silver military dog tag which had their names on one side and a number on the other. Sasuke's transformation seemed much worse than Gaara's as a pair of huge clawed hand-like wings ripped out of his back. A long spiked dragon tail ripped out of his tail bone as his skin became a greyish tan and covered by translucent scales. Sasuke's nose became more bird-like as a huge black diamond shaped cross sat in the middle of his face. His eyes became black as his irises to his eyes became blood red as a strange pattern appeared in his eyes. His short spiked black hair became much longer and more wild as black ridged spikes ripped out from the base of his neck trailing down all the way to his tail. His hands and feet transformed into a bird's taloned feet as his ears stretched become longer like an elves ears. Both teens seemed to hardly feel any pain when they transformed as the transformation seemed to last only several seconds. Now both boys stood in front of two men in their truest form.

"It will be easier for us to follow you in our true forms besides that being cooped up like that we need the exercise and need to let loose." Sasuke replied in a somewhat harsh voice. Kakashi just shrugged his shoulders as Jiraiya ordered the toad to go. Sasuke stretched his wings taking to the sky as Gaara sprinted on all fours following behind the huge toad. Both seemed to keep up with the huge toad. The four of them traveled to the Land of Earth to the village known as Iwagakure or also known as the "village hidden among the rocks." Before they entered the village Jiraiya stopped the as he and Kakashi got off taking the unconscious Naruto with them. Sasuke landed when Jiraiya signaled for him to come down as both monstrous looking teens stood near the men.
