Naruto: Hidden Awakening IC (SoulxNova)

[MerelyaSoul]

As everyone gathered in Konoha to enter the Chūnin Exams being held there again. Among the many team gathered from all the hidden villages, one seemed to make everyone else very uneasy. Just arriving at the gates, there was a group of four ninja from Kumo who seemed to cast this shadow of uneasiness. It comprised of two Jōnin who were Jinchūriki, Killer B and Yugito Nii. The other two were regular Genin who were assigned with their missing member who even they wish not to be part of the same team. Within second something jumped form the trees landed on the gate and dropped a dead messenger bird at the feet of B. This was a teenager with wild blond hair, orange clothing, interesting looking necklace and almost normal looking feature. To anyone who dare to get a good look of this boy, they would see red eyes with slit pupils, fang like canines, whiskers and claw like nails. He was the final Jinchūriki, Naruto Uzumaki, and he has been in that form since the awakening of Kurama. However, the necklace the he wore had been suppressing the tailed beast within him and keeping him from becoming consumed. Jumping down and landing on all fours, he rose and handed B the message. "From the Raikage, I am to help our team succeed in becoming chūnin."

"Then you will carry out your orders, as we all do. Once you complete this exam, we will be heading to the Desert to grab our next member." Yugito Nii spoke in cold tone.

Ino was walking thought the market place wondering if she should wear clothes that wasn't purple before sighing and wondering what the other 2 members of th new ino-shika-cho trio was doing then slaped her forehead saying "Shikamaru should be ether napping or watching the clouds at this time of day and choji he'll be pigging out" sighing slightly she stops as she feels a familiure presance that she hasn't felt since she was 5 and headed towards the gates only to stop when she see's the kuro team not noticing the faint but visible form of naruto's seal glow slightly as her part of karuma's youkai/chakra started to sync up with naruto's and slowly awaken.

Naruto had taken the bird and went to a tree to bury it. He then turned around and sniffed, there was something familiar but he couldn't tell what. Jumping through the gate, this caused some people to scream as they backed away from him. The smell got stronger as he continued to sniff the air. It was then that he turned around to see a blond teen girl in purple, she was the source of the familiar scent. "Who are you?" One could mistake his tone for a growl but that because of his nature, he was actually quite curious.

[Azure Sea]

"Ino Yamanaka.....hmmmmyou seem familiure..."Ino says looking at naruto while looking him over noticing the wisker marks and then the necklace that she had given to her best friend before he vanished then starts blinking afew times.

"N...naruto?" Ino says softly as she takes a step forward before asking "Don't you remember me?"

[MerelyaSoul]

"How do you know my name?" Naruto look at her, she look familiar but he could have sworn he never been to Konoha before. Something began to hurt in head as he grabbed it with one of his clawed hand, there was something he had forgotten. Ino Yamanaka, also something familar. Now that he though about it this whole place seem very familiar. However before he noticed, a shadow appeared behind him and he felt a shock at the base of the neck. His body had stopped moving at Killer B was behind him and had gave him a special punch.

"Focus that wild mind, Lord Nine-Tails, before you forget what we are. Are you listening, Lord Eight-tails is speaking to the fox. Now the rest of your team is going ahead to rest their socks." Killer B left with the others to find their rooms to rest in.

[Azure Sea]

"Hey! i don't care who you are but he's my friend even if he's been missing and appearantly in kumo these last 10 years but i will not let you harm him" Ino says inadvertantly flaring some of her part of the 9 tail chakra as her copy of the seal becomes visble as both sides of karuma's chakra sync up and becomes balanced once again as she says "Naruto please remember me...your best friend" her voice soft near the end as she reaches out and touchs naruto's left hand with her right hand hoping he would remember her.

[MerelyaSoul]

"Best ....... friend......" Naruto began to move after a few minutes as he remembered a really fuzzy memory, of a little girl giving him a necklace. "Ino......" He falls backwards, passed out from all this as Killer B and Yugito Nii turned around.

"Seems like we may have forgotten something. Well after we are done here, you are coming with us." Yugito spoke before noticing a presence.

A old man appeared with a weird looking hat with the word fire on it. "That won't be happening. We will not be allowing you to kidnap another one of our people. Now, I will have our people make sure he is alright but I ask you to stay in the area assigned to you."

[Azure Sea]

"Hokage-Sama" Ino says bowing tot he hokage before saying "I'm going to stay by naruto's side...it's been far to long since i've seen my friend hokage-sama" as she's helps naruto up not caring for the looks the kumo nins or anyone else was giving her.

[MerelyaSoul]

The Hokage nodded as the others from Kumo vanished before he turned to Ino and the passed out Naruto. "Will you take him to the medical wing? Looks like he is in such a poor shape. It seems like after these ten long years of trying to get him back, we finally have succeeded. He must have been through allot to have forgotten this place yet he still lives with a small spark." He smiled kindly at her before turning to the others. "As members of our village, we need to take time to repair the damage done to him. Therefore I ask you all once the exams are over to not treat him so harshly."

[Azure Sea]

Ino looked at the hokage and sighed saying "I'll take him to the hospital but no one is doing anything to him without me around" as she carries naruto the best she can to the hospital so he can rest.
