Yokai Mates

the bridge builder

Author Notes:  just a quick FYI, that the demons will have natural abilities that suit the kind of creature they are. For example: Kitsune fire, Tengu wind, Ookami earth, Oni metal, Tanuki wood, Hakutaku wisdom, Kirin water, Onikuma rock, Satori plants, Tsuchigumo webs, and Komainu strength. They will also have all of the abilities and powers given to the characters from the series with s few changes in the usual characters (you will notice it when you see it).  Also some characters will have a few OC attacks. 

Chapter Nine: the bridge builder

The weeks seemed to fly by quickly since team seven had come together as full fledge ninja of the leaf.  Since their talk with Sakura, the pink haired konuchi had changed greatly.  She no longer fangirled over or around Sasuke.  She was much nicer towards and around Naruto.  And she didn't scream as much knowing how sensitive Naruto's hearing was.  Kakashi was happy that she was taking her job as a ninja more seriously.  That he often only showed up an hour late when the team had to gather for missions and/or training.  What surprised the group the most  is when Sakura asked Naruto why everyone besides some demons hated him (mostly the humans).  

"I have noticed that they don't do that or act that way around or towards the other demons.  Only towards or around Naruto."  Naruto knew that there were only a few beings whom knew the truth about what Naruto held within him.

*You should tell her.  Its better that she learns on down the road.* stated Kurama mentally.  Naruto looked at Kakashi nodding his head.

"Sakura......  What Naruto is about to tell you is a S class secret.  You're not allowed to let anyone know the secret that he is about to tell you." Kakashi stated as she nodded her head that she understood.  

"What do you know about of the night the nine tails attacked the village?" asked Naruto.  Sakura told them what most in the village knew.   That twelve years ago on Octobe tenth, the nine tailed fox known as Kyuubi attacked the village and that the fourth hokage fought and killed the beast.  "The truth is that the Kyuubi wasn't killed but instead sealed away.  The nine tails was forced to attack the village.  The fourth managed to fight and seal the beast away but something went wrong during the sealing process transforming the child who was going to be the beasts jailor into a Kitsune." replied Naruto.  Sakura gasped out in shock.  Kakashi explained how Naruto's parents where human as his mother was the nine tails Jinchuriki or host until the night that she gave birth to Naruto.  That's when everything happened and a strange man attacked the village using the nine tails.  Kakashi also told Sakura that the fourth hokage was also Naruto's father.  Sakura was shocked as she had no clue that Naruto had such a heavy burden.  But, now it made sense why everyone seemed to hate and despise him.

"God......  I'm so sorry Naruto.  I had no idea."

"It's alright.  Just most humans see me as Kurama rather than his holder."

"Kurama?" she asked in confusion.

"That's the nine tails true name." answered Sasuke.  "He believes that we should trust you since both Kakashi and I already know the truth about everything." 

Team Seven completed several missions together since Sakura learned the truth about Naruto.  The team became one of the strongest teams as most of the D rank missions they were given were completed with relative ease.  They even set the record for catching the supposed demon cat Tora.  Naruto talked with the damiyo's wife instructing her on the proper way to  handle and take care of the cat this way he wouldn't escape or flee so often.  As thanks they got paid double.
