Gaara's Wolf - Thrust into the Naruto World

Chapter 13

When I woke up the next morning a human, I thought that the past few years must have been just an amazing dream. Then I realized that I wasn't laying on the fuzzy blanket in my room, but instead on furs in a wolf den.

I sat up, stretching, and looked around me. I hadn't observed my surroundings last night, I was too tired. It wasn't like a normal den. There was a corner with dirt, but the rest was covered with stone squares, like tile. The dirt corner was like a flower garden, with flowering vines spreading from it over the walls of the den. It was beautiful, like natural wall decorations.

Tatsuo walked up to the opening in the wall, calling for me to come with him. Apparently, the old wolf from yesterday wanted to train with me. Looking around, I still didn't see any other wolves. It was strange. If this was a summoning world, shouldn't there be more summons? Maybe they were in a different section.

As soon as I made it to where Gramps Wolf was, he wanted me to show him all the jutsus I could do. After that, the training got a lot harder. For the next week, I practiced copying jutsus. Eventually, I got so good that I could do the Flying Thunder God technique, even though I only saw it a few times before even coming here. It was amazing.

The 2nd week of my training, I was taught sage mode. Unluckily for me, Wolf Sage Mode can't be used by me while I'm a dog. 

Wolf Gramps doesn't know why, but I think it's to further limit what I can do to change the storyline. If I was able to do sage mode, there would be almost nothing I couldn't do. It's fine with me, though. Gramps Hokage has people working on a jutsu to turn me back into a person, so I can help more after that.

I left after the second week. I still wanted to try and save Hayate, even if it would change things. So, even though he wanted me to stay longer, Wolf Gramps let me go back to the Leaf.

Honestly, that wasn't the only reason I wanted to go back. I missed Gaara. I had been with him almost nonstop for the past couple years, and it hurt to be away from him for so long. I guess he had grown to be a precious person to me.

 I had known this would happen, though. He was already special to me before I even knew he was real. I felt bad for him because of his past, and wished that the show was real so I could help him. I couldn't wait to see him again.

When Tatsuo used the reverse summoning jutsu to bring me home, I flew straight to the apartment the Sand Siblings were staying at. Gaara was sitting on the roof, looking at the stars. I hadn't noticed how late it was. I stayed inside training most of the time at the Tsuki-Ôkami Forest. He seemed lost in thought, and jumped when I landed on his head. Taking me down, Gaara hugged me, then held me up by my underarms in front of him.

"Kira, I know you were going to train, but please stop leaving with no warning. I was worried sick, then a wolf popped up in my room saying not to worry, you were training. I didn't know what to think. And then he left before I could get any answers from him. Just, don't leave me for so long again. Shukaku almost drove me insane."

"I'm sorry," I said, hanging my head. "I didn't mean for you to worry. I promise to give you a better warning and make sure your questions are answered next time."

Gaara could see I was sorry, so he set me in his lap and went back to looking at the stars, petting me while he did. While he was busy, I put a Thunder God mark on his leg so I could get back to him whenever he needed my help. Then, I fell asleep, still worn out from my training.

I was woken up a little while later to a scream. It looked like I had made it back just in time. Gaara had just killed Dosu. But, now I was left with a problem. How was I supposed to help Hayate without alerting Baki and Gaara?

 I got up out of Gaara's lap, and stood in front of him. When he looked at me, I wagged my tail, then gestured toward some bushes with my head, before running off in their direction.

As soon as I was through the bushes, I took off into the sky, sniffing out Baki. I found them quickly, and used a camouflage jutsu to become invisible before flying over to where they were. I had to wait until after the fight, when Baki left, to do anything to help. Hayate was in bad shape, but he only died in the show because no one could find him. Baki's jutsu kept that from happening.

Luckily, I had watched people being healed in the show, and practiced copying it during the first week of training. I healed most of his wounds, but he was in a coma, most likely from blood loss.

 I had to get him to the hospital. They could fix anything I missed. I placed a mark here, so I would be able to get back to him with the nurse. Then, I took off for the hospital.

The nurse at the front desk didn't take kindly to a wolf pup coming in the hospital. She tried to send me away. Since she couldn't understand me, I 'kidnapped' her, teleporting us to Hayate. Right away, she started emergency treatment, healing the harder wounds. Leaving her to it, I flew back to Gaara, both of us falling asleep on the roof this time.
