INCARNATE OF OBITO UCHIHA

Chapter 12: The Last Member Of My Family

Naruto yawned and rubbed his eyes as he woke up. He stretched his arms a bit and sighed in content. Well, that was before he realized that his teammates futons were placed in a corner, neatly folded, while they were nowhere to be seen. Fearing the worst, he screamed and ran around like a headless chicken, until a soft cough snapped him out of his stupor. He looked down, only to find a white bear cub with green markings sitting in a corner, staring at him with an unimpressed look.

"Oh hey!" Naruto said as he scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "You're one of Sakura's bears right?" he tapped his chin, trying to remember the bear's name. "You're Shou -or something?"

CRUNCH!

That earned him a bite to his ass, which once again rendered him screaming around like a headless chicken, yelling curses at Sakura and her stupid summons.

Tsunami ran into the room, wondering what this entire ruckus is, and sweat dropped when she saw the scene before her. She shook her head and muttered "Nope, I'm not even going to ask. This way lays madness." She then snapped the door shut and walked away.

When Naruto finally managed to make the bear release his butt, he scowled at it and yelled "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR, YOU STUPID MAMMAL?!"

The bear scoffed and glared at him. "That was for getting my name wrong! My name is Shi, not something as stupid as Shou!"

He shot her a look of disbelief. "You attacked me just because of that?"

Shi said "Oh? Won't you be offended if someone butchered your name? Me-n-ma?"

Naruto grimaced. 

Okay, so yeah he got the point. 

He would totally hate anyone who calls him by that stupid name. Because Menma toppings are stupid. Ramen made with Naruto maki is the food of gods. However, cooking ramen with Menma toppings is just wrong. 

That's right. 

Naruto downright hated Menma toppings. He would probably throttle anyone who dares get his name wrong. Especially if they call him Menma.

"What's wrong with Shou anyway?" Naruto asked curiously "I think it's a pretty name."

"Yup. For a boy." Shi muttered, rolling her eyes.

And then Naruto remembered a tiny fact about the little bear he had once heard from Sakura. Shi is usually, a gentle and calm bear; however, she is a hard core feminist. Anyone -or anything- that dares question her feminism is in for a ride to hell -literally. And the bear is very sensitive of her feminist rights, even if they are as silly as being mistaken for a boy. 

This can be due to the fact that she has been born with two bears as triplets, and also the fact that bears are summons with male dominant hierarchy, and it makes Shi bitter. It really is a good thing that the summoners of bear contract for the past few decades has been females only, otherwise any poor male summoner having the unfortunate luck of summoning Shi would have been dead by now.

"So..." Naruto asked curiously. "Where are the others?"

"They've gone ahead. They left me here to take care of you since you have chakra exhaustion." Her paws glowed green as she placed them over him and then frowned. "Although, that can be debated since your chakra reserves seems almost full." She stared at him with piercing brown eyes, making Naruto look everywhere but at her. "I've never seen anyone recuperating that fast from chakra exhaustion."

"I must be very special then..." His comment sounded more like a question as he gulped down nervously and ducked his head under Shi's piercing glare. He didn't actually want to explain to her that his quick chakra recuperation is thanks to the nine tailed fox sealed in his gut.
