Summary: Drainage City, a massive city formed from the sewage of Fume City. Inside the sewers lie a variety of mutants, demons, and other strange beings that stay there. Here is the tales of the various residents in this wondrous and strange city.

Story 1: Part 1

From Man to Mutant

A young man with tanned skin grunted as he swung a pickaxe into the rock wall before him, rocks cracking and falling to the ground only for him to kick them backwards as he readied himself for another swing. His body was young, but it had compact muscles, his skin tanned from the few times the powerful sun was able to pierce the smog. He had eyes of the brightest blue like that of the sky high above, and he had hair of bright yellow coloration, just like the sun that spiked out then downwards, reaching just the back of his neck. He wore thick jean overalls but his chest was bare, showing off his slightly golden brown body for all to see the slight 4 pack abs on his young body.

Naruto grunted as he swung his pickaxe into the wall again. Digging into the rock, he saw a slight glittering. He reached up with his oversized glove and brushed away some of the loose rock. He sighed as a small hunk of glittering ore fell but it wasn't what he was searching for. The ore he was searching for was called Mythal, a special ore that could be fashioned into powerfully hard plating. It wasn't invincible, but it would give any ship or gun emplacement considerable defense till it was destroyed. The ore itself was very soft and could be broken in 5 swings from the average man, but considering he was only 16 years old, he had a body that made him seem older, since he could break it in 3 swings. It looked like iron but had a unique shimmering look to it. He paused briefly to grab the damp towel hanging on a hook and mopped his sweat and grime stained face.

He coughed slightly at the dust, waving it away. He was about to put up the towel when he heard the loud screech of the whistle. Throwing the towel onto his shoulder, he walked out the somewhat narrow hole he had dug that lead to a bigger hole where other miners were walking out. The giant corridor was riddled with men in various outfits, while the walls had lights that shone down to light up the way with metal beams holding up the wall and ceiling. Among them, he saw his friend Kiba and waved to him.

Kiba ran up, "So found any mythal?" he asked. Naruto shook his head. "Man, the deposits are getting harder and harder to find, and the paths are now starting to reach Drainage City...." groaned the brown haired boy. Kiba was like Naruto, a young man forced to work to earn money. "How much you think we'll get paid this time?" He asked.

Kiba was a bit more muscled compared to Naruto but that was because he worked with the clearing crew that would open up more pathways to mine for the precious metal. He had spiked brown hair, and two red tattoo marks on his cheek in the shape of 2 upside down triangles.

The blonde shook his head, disheartened. "Barely enough for a cup of ramen," he said. They turned down into another corridor. This time it was man-made with metal flooring and smooth walls. They went to the left to grab cards lined up in a metal shelf, and headed to a clock machine with a small slot near the bottom. Naruto slid his card into the slot, triggering a thump then a click and he pulled his card out. The card read: "Naruto Uzumaki: start time 7:30 A.M.; end time 4:00 P.M.' They continued walking, following the other miners to get their pay.

Kiba elbowed him, "Tch. Dude you should just fish for your meal; you live like, right next to the ocean, right?" He said.

The blonde grinned toothily, "I do! Those fish are really big and fat with plenty of meat to eat. But, I like ramen better. Plus, eating those fish sometimes makes my stomach feel weird." Came the mumbling finish.

Another elbow, "Maybe you can ask your girlfriend to give you money!" Joked the dark haired boy.

This was responded by a light but sharp punch from the blonde, "Shut up!" Naruto hissed. "It's bad enough her dad hates guys like us, but he really doesn't like me!" He snapped in a low tone.

Kiba rubbed his arm, "Why? You're like the second most productive person here." He said.

Naruto rubbed his head and started, "Well it's because-oof,"

He was cut off when he bumped into a miner's backside. The man grunted, turned to look at him, then turned back around. Naruto realized he was in a line and got in it to get his pay. It was of course a slow process as, even with 5 lines, they had to pay all the miners, who numbered close to 500, and Naruto was almost at the very end.

After 50 minutes, it was finally his turn to get his pay. He walked up to the money giver, a large man with a thick wiry black beard, bald head, and a powerful body. He looked at Naruto then he turned and walked away, returning a few seconds later to drop a small sack in front of him.

Naruto grabbed it, and opened it. There was only 6 thousand yen inside. "Seriously?" He asked.

The man leaned forward, "Seriously, move on kid, I got other people to pay," he said and Naruto glowered at him before walking away. He walked to the main entrance leading toward the common area. Standing at the door to wait for Kiba. The black haired boy ran up with a sack of his own.

Kiba opened it and showed Naruto a bundle of coins, "Good haul huh?" He said.

Naruto snorted, "For you yeah, me, I just got 6,000 yen."

The black haired boy raised an eyebrow, "Why?" came the perplexed question.

The blonde gestured to walk, "You see, it's not exactly a small secret but she really likes me, and her dad doesn't like that at all, so he shafts me whenever he gets the chance... like now." He explained.

Kiba shrugged, "So what, you like her, don't you?".

Naruto rolled his eyes, "As a friend. I mean she's smart and she goes to school, me? I barely make enough to get normal stuff. I can probably get enough cup ramen to last a few days. Oh wait, I need soap..." he remembered.

Kiba scratched his head, "Don't you live like on the edge of the city near that sewage pipe? Some small house you said your parents built?" He asked.

The blue-eyed boy nodded, "Yeah, my parents built it years ago but it's starting to fall apart. I still got the shower, furnace, and oven going but the electricity is dead and I don't know how to get it back on. Also, nobody wants to go all the way out there especially since my parents set it up so that we could get electricity for free." He explained. They were walking down a street now filled with people and children playing.

His tattooed friend raised an eyebrow, "How'd they do that?" He asked.

A shrug, "No idea, but my parents said that if people found out how to do it this city would go crazy with anarchy." Kiba scratched his head.

Then he laughed, "Dude your parents were smart," was all he could say.

Naruto shrugged, "Smarter than me... look I gotta go buy some stuff, I'll see you later." He said.

Kiba gave a light farewell punch to Naruto's shoulders, "Alright man, see you." He said, and he walked off. Naruto sighed as he turned and began his walk to the local store. He walked in through the open door and came to the sight of youths around his age wearing school uniforms clamoring around the register. He remembered that the school got out at around the same time as the end of the morning shift. He scratched his head, wondering if Hinata was in this store. He was answered by a light tap on his shoulder as he turned and saw Hinata behind him smiling nervously.

Naruto looked around the other students who were still clamoring around the cashier as he walked away and she followed him. She was blushing as she nervously tapped her fingers together. "Hey Hinata." Naruto said when they were away. He looked at Hinata and was once again reminded of how stunningly beautiful she was.

She had a round face with an angular jaw, with large white eyes that were a genetic defect caused by the fumes of fume city but she wasn't blind nor were any other Hyuuga. She had a rather generously proportioned body with a large bust that belied the fact she was only 16, along with a slim waist, and wide hips that sported a sizable rump. These traits were only enhanced by the school uniform she wore, sailor skirts and white tops with blue vests. He had to admit her body had grown rapidly within the 8 years he had known her.

Hinata smiled, "Naruto-kun." She replied, "H-How was w-work?"

He shrugged, "Hard and painful as always. Look nothing against you, but I can't be seen near you thanks to your dad." He said, "Let me just get my stuff and go."

Her face turned into an angry scowl. "My idiotic father wouldn't know a good man if you put a dozen neon signs pointing toward him," she spat out with incredible venom. There was a tightness in her shoulders and her hand clenched each other so hard her knuckles turned white then she relaxed. "Do you need money? I have some extra from lunch. I don't need it." She said as she reached for her bag on her shoulder and opened it, grabbing a pouch and holding it out to Naruto.

He bit his lower lip rubbing his head, "How much is it?" He asked finally.

She looked inside, "200,000 yen." She said.

He exhaled sharply. "Damn, I can't take that, people will think I stole it from you." He said, "Look thanks but I'll be fine really." He turned but Hinata reached into the pouch and grabbed his hand, placing several yen coins into his hand. Turning red, she released him and ran off, her face red with embarrassment. "Hey wait!" But she was already gone. He sighed and looked at the money in his hand then he grabbed the pouch he got from earlier and placed the money inside.

-Several Hours Later, Edge of the City-

Naruto edged down the rocky shore, a bucket in his hand. he bucket was big; big enough to stuff his head in quite snugly. He saw the drainage pipe leading out the city, and smelt the familiar yet horribly pungent smell of fish meat normal and rotting. He could see the fish slapping against the metal railing, bloated and bulging. It was slightly creepy but it was plenty of meat to eat. After buying the soap, shampoo, toothbrush and toothpaste, all he had left was enough money for some seasoning which he bought and went home. Within 30 minutes of washing, his stomach was growling for food. He rubbed it, sadly having not eaten anything since the morning and only the bloated fish that were somehow attracted to this particular grate. So he grabbed on some pants and a shirt and began his track down to the grate. Now here he got down to the edge of the grate and began grabbing fish and putting them in the bucket. They squirmed but his hands were hard and steady and he slammed their neck on the back of his knee it would either stun them or, if he was lucky, kill them. He tossed in about 6 fish before he went up. But just as he did, he heard rapid flapping and looked. The fish were being assaulted by some kind of worm-like creature, the head of which looked like a young boy with small insect arms and a long bone body that ended oddly enough like a dick head. A few more came out and began to help the original one.

Naruto walked away. He knew it was a creature from Drainage City, a being called the Worm Master who commanded these 'worms' and would use them to hunt fish that they would then trade for money. Apparently she was quite proficient at it and earned a hefty sum, not that he knew the master personally. He never really associated with the residents of Drainage City. His parents had when he was younger, not that he knew why. He knew of one resident, Tsunade the Slug Doctor. They told him if anything was wrong to seek her out and she would help. Not that he had, he had been able to soldier through all his problems on his own. He was quite sure he could soldier on still.

-The next day, 4:00 PM-

Hinata stood at the entrance to the store looking around for Naruto but he never showed up. She ran her hands over and over again. For 30 minutes she waited before she was told to leave by the store owner. So she went home sad but understanding, 'He's probably just sick or something. He has been working hard and didn't have much money to get some healthy food... healthy... that's it! Tomorrow I'll make him a lunch! And give it to him! He'll be at work tomorrow for sure.'

-6 days later-

Hinata stood outside the doors to the mining operations where her father's workers were. She was worried Naruto had not shown up again in 6 days and her worry had grown larger and larger with each passing day. She was now afraid that something terrible might've happened to him. As she heard the loud whistle, she stepped back slightly as she waited for them to leave. Within a few minutes, men pushed the doors open and began walking forward, talking, laughing, and shouting. She scanned them all but not once did she see the blonde head of Naruto but she did see someone else.

The brown hair of Kiba, who she knew was friends with Naruto. He used to go to the same school she did, but expenses at home forced him to leave and work. "Kiba-san!" She shouted as he paused to look around, and saw her. He went up to her quickly, shoving larger men out of his way as he did.

Kiba walked up to Hinata, "Hey princess, how you doing?" He asked, grinning widely.

She fiddled her fingers a bit before asking, "U-Ummm have you seen Naruto-kun anywhere?" She asked.

His grin faded, "Uh-uh, not at all which is weird... he's usually here every day." He said. "I hope nothing happened to him. He's got enough problems as it is." He mentioned as Hinata lowered her head in embarrassment, quite aware of who one of those problems was.

She looked up after a silence, "Where does he live?" She finally asked.

Kiba turned and pointed towards a road, "he lives at the edge of the city near the ocean. A small house, you can't miss it cause that's the only building near there." Kiba said, "But be careful. His place is near those freaks in Drainage City." Hinata swallowed. She'd heard of Drainage City: a massive city formed out of the extensive sewage system of Fume City, inside its endless pipes, mutants and demons resided there as well as freaks disfigured by the chemicals and outcasts of society. There was a trade and a no-disturbance agreement active. Neither city would disturb the other and would trade for resources should each city need to.

She looked at Kiba determined. "I-I don't care, I need to know he's alright." she replied hotly.

He blinked, "Well ok then, though you should probably have your dad send some guys in though so you're safe." He said. "Listen, I gotta go, it was nice seeing you." Kiba said as he patted her shoulder and walked off.

-The Hyuuga Mansion, 5:00 PM-

Hinata sat at the dinner table, a small square table. At it was herself, her father, and her little sister. Hinata was poking her meal sourly with a fork, trying to figure out how to pose the question. But her father caught her before she could properly phrase it. "What is wrong Hinata?" He asked.

She inhaled deeply then sighed, "Father, one of your workers has gone missing." She said finally.

He looked at her, "Are you speaking of the Uzumaki boy?" He asked, a simple nod, "Why should I concern myself with that lot." He said as he raised the piece of steak to his mouth.

Hinata's hands were white with rage, "Because Father, he is among the most productive members of your working core and is widely recognized for his feats!" She snapped.

He paused, then lowered the steak and looked at his daughter with those white eyes that they now bore, "Such as?" He inquired.

Hinata had no trouble recalling these feats, "He was the first to hit a major Mythal vein that caused a huge increase in your stock and sale. He was the first onsite when an accident occurred shortly after the find and was among the first to dig out the miners trapped by said accident. He also was able to find Rezilin ore which you sold in secret to a mystery buyer for a large sum. He also-"

Hiashi held up a hand, "That's quite enough..." he said, sighing "Very well. Since you're being so melodramatic about it, I'll send a welfare check tomorrow and no, you're not allowed to go. I don't want you getting even more muddled up with this boy." He said eventually.

Hinata stood up when Hanabi looked up, "Nee-san, he's going to send someone to look, that's enough for now, isn't it?" She said.

Hinata stood there then sat down, and gave a small "Yes." She said. Her sister was right. No need to get upset over this when her father said he would send someone out. Also, she didn't have to go now, she could go any other time. For now, she just wanted to hear that Naruto was safe.

-The Next Day-

Hinata sat in a room that looked out into the city arranging flowers, her door kept just ajar as she listened for her father's men to come back. She heard the ringing of a phone and she gently put down the flowers and moved to her door. She heard the click as her father picked up the phone then waited. "Hiashi-sama." Came the voice of one of his agents.

She didn't see her father but she didn't need to, "What did you find?" He asked.

There was a pause, "This place is a mess. Most of it's been torn down and a lot of the appliances and household items are gone, most likely stolen. But this place... looks like something big came in. If the boy was here, he's more than likely dead... that or something else happened. Hold on... what's that?" There was another pause.

Hiashi waited, "Did you find something?" He asked after several seconds of silence.

A long pause, "Sir, someone outside saw something but it retreated into the ocean, perhaps a mutant. We don't know," he agent responded. "Either way, the boy is missing and we don't know where he could've gone. I say we close this as a dead end for now." as the final word.

A pause, "I'll call the mayor to have them set up a guard near the waterline. Thank you for this. Return to your homes." Hiashi said and he hung up the phone.

Hinata moved back to the flowers quickly and went back to arranging them as her father opened the door, and she turned to look at him. "What is it father?" She asked.

Hiashi looked at the flowers then at her, "I'm informing you that they searched his house and found it wrecked. He's presumed missing at the moment... I'm sorry but that's all I can do at the moment." He said and he closed the door.

Hinata was gripping a flower so tightly it was bent, green juices dripping from her hands. 'If you won't find him, I will.' She realized though that if she did, what she was planning on doing would mean the end of her life as a Hyuuga. 'Not that it's much of a life... after mother died...' she looked at the flower in her hand, her tight grip relaxing. She sighed and grabbed the scissors, cutting the damaged parts off and placing them with the rest, 'I... mother, am I strong enough to be by myself at 16?' She wondered, 'Am I strong enough to be away from all this?' Despite her fury, Hinata herself had always been a shy and hesitant girl.n school she stayed away from the other children and kept to herself.

This was because when she was much younger shortly after her mother died, she ran away from home and got lost. She ended up being found by several boys who proceeded to bully her, but then she was saved by Naruto Uzumaki. Rather, he found her, proceeded to get beaten up, then his parents came in and gave the boys an earful and took them home to their parents where their parents grounded them for several months.

But the fact was he had come to her aid, and it had deeply impacted her. Since that day she kept a close eye on Naruto and watched as he grew older and older into a handsome young man. Her childish crush developed to a feverish love but she could never tell him. All she could do was watch, but as she grew, her life became more and more complicated with her father enlisting her in the top school to take over his business when he passed. A business she had no real interest in; a life forced upon her. Not that he understood that. She sighed, then gathered her tools and went to her room to begin her preparations.

-The Following Morning-

Hinata walked down to the car, the massive suitcase in her hands rolling on the ground. "Hinata," she turned to see her father, "what is that suitcase for?" He asked, looking at her clothes: a slight blue skirt with a loose shirt, and white sneakers, "And those clothes?" He said as his eyebrow raised in suspicion.

She smiled, "I'm going to sleep over at a friend's house." She said, "This is just some clothes for changing along with some shower stuff is all." He looked at her quietly. "Also, she says she likes to play sports so I'm gonna play with her." She said, trying her best to not look guilty or nervous.

He then nodded, "Very well, it's good that you have friends to visit... excellent... Enjoy yourself." He said, and he turned and left.

Hinata gave a heavy mental sigh, 'Phew, avoided that one.' And she got into the car, the servant pulling the bag inside after her before closing the door and tapping the sides.

It pulled away. "Now where will we be going to, madam?" Asked the driver.

Hinata looked out, "The city's edge near the ocean. We're meeting up there." She said cryptically.

The driver was silent for a few seconds, "Are you sure ma'am? Why would you-"

But he was silenced by, "Do your job, or I'll tell father you were incompetent at following directions and have you fired." She snapped.

The driver swallowed, quickly realizing either way, he was out of a job. If he took her back, her father would be furious that he wasn't able to get her to her location. If he took her to where she wanted, he'd be furious that he took her to the edge of the city where she would be front page news if she was found out. He sighed, "Very well madam," and turned to a street leading toward the ocean. It was a silent 5 minute drive when they reached their destination, he stopped the car, "We're here." He said, "Where exactly are you meeting your friend?" He asked.

Hinata got out, pushing the suitcase before her. "That's for me to know and for you not to find out.eturn home and tell my father that I'm with my friends. Do not tell him where I met them, just that I rendezvoused with them and am now with them. Understand?" She ordered, a curt nod. "Good. Goodbye we might never see each other again." She said and she was heading toward the ocean.

She saw the car start up again and pull out before U-turning back down the road. She kept going, remembering what Kiba said. "A small house near the ocean. Can't miss it ,considering it's the only one there." The dirt quickly fell into jagged rock formations as she neared the ocean of which she could smell the salty breeze and hear the crashing of the waves. She remembered when she was younger, her parents had taken her and her newborn sister on a cruise on a part of the ocean that was a no fire zone. She was amazed to see the ocean a different color than the sickly green at Fume City.

She felt her arm jerk and turned to see her suitcase had caught on a rock. She sighed and went to dislodge it. She saw a sharp rock had pierced the suitcase but not enough that everything was coming out. She got her suitcase off it and continued.

Within 3 minutes of walking and taking a quick break to get a snack, she saw it. A small orange house with a red roof. She stopped then looked around and saw, as she was told, no other house or building. She felt her heart race with joy and she made a dash for the house. Her dash slowed to a halting steps before she dropped the suitcase and put her hands to her mouth in shock. From the back the house seemed fine but as she came to the side she saw it was broken open like a wrecking ball had come and smashed it for kicks. She remembered her father's agents telling him that the house was wrecked. She had thought they were lying but she could see the damage wasn't done with normal means. It looked like something giant had gone and tore through the house. And with that thought a fear grew in her heart, was Naruto alive?

She ran to the front where the front door was gone but left a arch shaped hole. She walked inside, she looked around as she did she could see she was in what looked like a living room. She sniffed and the faint odor of gas guided her to a kitchen with the sink gone, water spraying out and the mangled remains of a stove hanging against a wall. She turned away and continued exploring. Her wanderings eventually led her into the remains of a corridor. She went through it, noticing one door was untouched. She raised her hands then felt a strong pull at her conscious to leave it alone for now. She obeyed and continued walking till she came to the shattered remains of a door. She looked inside and saw a small room. It was also torn up but she could see no bed, but the remains of a bed frame,'Odd... why would a thief steal the bed but not the bed frame?' She walked inside, stepping gingerly but found her skirt getting caught up on a splinter of wood.

She pulled and her skirt ripped, revealing the bloomers underneath, but she ignored that and kept going forward. She could see toys and books scattered about, Hinata sighed as she looked around and her eyes began to put things back where they were. The books on a bookshelf, the toys scattered about but standing upright. The bed frame with a bed, and on it was... Naruto, alone yet always cheerful despite that. She sighed as she felt a tear on her eye and wiped it away as she wondered how he dealt with the crushing loneliness that he must've felt everyday.

She then heard it, a creaking, and she turned around and went to the door but paused when she heard a low growling. She returned to being inside the room and quickly went to the shattered bed frame and hid behind it. She waited, looking out with one eye as she heard the sound of soft and light steps, and the growling, then a sniffing. A pause, then she saw it, a large head poke through the door, the low lighting making it hard to make it out, but she did see a pair of large blue eyes. Her heart then stopped right then and there as the head pushed through and with it the body of a large beast. The head raised up high then sniffed and then looked in her direction.

Hinata was quite sure she was dealing with a mutant and her mind was telling her something that should be impossible. "Come out, and I won't hurt you." Came a strangely sounding voice, masculine but with some light feminine tones as well.

Hinata debated, but even as she looked into those blue eyes, the emotional part of her said, 'I have to know' and she stepped out, staring at those eyes which widened.

The creature stepped back, "Hinata? What're you doing here?" The voice now sounded completely masculine.

Hinata closed her eyes then she stepped forward, opening them. "Naruto-kun is that you?" She asked.

The creature was silent, then it lowered itself and nodded. Hinata walked up but Naruto snarled, "Don't come near me. Go home I'm... not human anymore." He said. And he moved, but Hinata stepped forward and reached out, her hands closing on a large brush like tail. He paused then turned back, his teeth bared which were dagger like though she could see a few flat molars. "Let me go, I'm a mutant and a freak, you can't be near me anymore." he warned. But she moved forward, grabbing onto his body, noticing the remains of jean pants that almost seemed glued to his lower body. She kept pulling up till she came to his chest which she embraced only to feel something pushing against her face. She blinked then backed away, as she stared then looked closer.

She saw but she couldn't believe, "Do you... have breasts?" She asked finally.

Naruto sighed, "Yes I do..." he (she?) said, 'so embarrassing and so big.' came the mental afterthought.

Hinata blinked, "You're a girl now?" she couldn't help but ask.

A low growl, "Not totally I still have my... thing... just got some extra bits now." he/she said, "I see myself as a guy. Though I'm probably an it more than anything."

He turned and saw her eyes wide with surprise, "You're a Hermaphrodite!" She said, his head cocked to the side, "A living being that is both male and female. Amazing!" She walked forward and felt the breasts only for Naruto to scoot back.

He growled, "H-hey that feels weird.these things are so big and sensitive..." he acknowledged.

Hinata frowned, "Can I see?" She asked, Naruto blushed he wasn't sure he was liking this attention but he couldn't say he hated it totally. For now he would indulge her till she was satisfied surely she would leave after that.

-The Hyuuga Mansion-

Hiashi Hyuuga sat at the living room with his younger daughter Hanabi. He read the newspaper while she watched a Super Ranger show, until he heard the door closing and the soft footsteps. He looked and saw the driver walking toward the kitchen, "Did my daughter arrive safely?" he asked.

The driver froze, "Y-Yes, my lord she did." He said, unable to hold back the shudder in his voice.

Hiashi lowered the newspaper, sensing something amiss, "And where did she meet her friends pray tell?" voice deceptively calm. No response. Hiashi stood up and went to where the driver who was shaking, sweat pouring from his face like a running faucet, "Answer the question." Hiashi demanded, his voice still calm but with a slight edge to it now.

The driver swallowed, "T-The c-city edge lord, n-near the ocean to be exact." He finally mumbled. Hiashi was silent as he closed his eyes.

He inhaled deeply, then exhaled slowly, "Did she tell you to go there or did her friends tell her to go there?" He asked.

The driver lowered his head, "S-She did." He said after several seconds.

Hiashi walked away heading for the phone on a small table. He grabbed it and hit a speed dial number. Within a ring it was picked up, "Yes, my lord?" came the voice of his agent.

Wasting no time, he gave an order, "I want you and your men to go to the Uzumaki boy's house. My daughter is there. Apprehend and bring her back here immediately. If the boy is there, do what you will with him. As for my daughter, if she refuses, you have permission to incapacitate her. Fail and the consequences will be severe." He ordered.

He was quite sure that the agent had given a curt nod, "At once my lord." The dial tone sounded.

Hiashi hung up the phone and looked at the driver, silent then said, "Take the month off. You'll receive no vacation pay in that time, but you are not fired understand?" He said. A nod. "Good, now get out of my sight." He said and the driver hurried off. Hiashi rubbed his forehead, "This girl will be the death of me." He sighed and went upstairs to his room to wait.

-The Uzumaki House-

Naruto shifted as Hinata ran her hands through his fur. "Amazing, you truly are a modern marvel" She said. Naruto was easily twice her height now, even hunched down on all fours. He still had hands that were covered in light, close setting fur that was thick, not unlike fox fur. In fact, the fur covered almost all of his body, the only exception was a small part of his face covering mainly his jaw cheeks and his forehead. His actual face was still flesh, but now he had whisker like marks on his cheeks. On the side of his head were a pair of very large ears that were able to move almost completely upright though currently they were pressed against the side of his head. His hair had grown out as well, now reaching down past his shoulders, some of it around the side of his head looking like a lion's mane. His hands were larger, now covered in golden fur, with dark highlights around the wrist and forearm. With thick, long, powerful fingers and large shining claws, his hands were pressed flat against the ground, allowing him to walk on all fours comfortably.

His feet though had changed into the the joint structure of a canine and his feet were now dog-like long claws with soft pads on the bottom of the digits. As for the breasts, they were indeed large, about as big as large pumpkins though with some sag to them. They were not covered in fur as was the middle of his stomach and the large nipples were pink and currently standing erect. She also saw his pants were now sporting a considerable bulge. She flushed as she remembered all the questions she had been asking one after another. "Is that body hard to maneuver? Which end do you pee out of now? What's it like walking on all fours? Do you still eat fish or do you more than fish?" etc. etc. some questions he answered, others he just looked away. They had been at it for at least 5 minutes.

Naruto looked at her, "Are you done? Go home now, I gotta get a few things before I'm gone for good." He said. He moved pushing her aside with a slight push of his huge limbs.

She staggered but went back beside him. When he turned away, she ran in front of him, "No! I'm going with you!" She shouted.

The new mutant blinked, "What? Are you crazy, you can't stay with me! Your father will hunt me down to find you. Plus, you can't survive out here, you're... well... pampered." He said.

The glare he got made him quail slightly to the point a soft squeak escaped his lips. "I don't care, I... I cannot bear to be in a world where you are absent please... don't do this to me." She said, her voice starting strong but now low. "Please let us go together. I will never deny you anything." She begged.

He rolled his eyes, irritated again, "Apart from leaving me alone." Naruto growled, sighing, "Look I-" he stopped, then raised his head sniffing. "Someone's here." he said, his ears tilted and swiveled, "It's those suits again." he growled.

Hinata stood, "My father's agents," she said.

Naruto gave a snort, "Good, they can take you home." he said and he began to move, but stopped when he felt Hinata jump on his back. "Let go! I'm not taking you with me!" He snapped.

But she only held tighter, "Inside! Remember, only incapacitate her, no further!" A voice shouted.

To say he was shocked was an understatement, 'What kind of parent tells his people to incapacitate his kid!' He looked at Hinata and found she was shivering. He lowered his head sighing heavily, 'I'm gonna regret this,' and he moved his head. "I'll take you to my place for now. Later, you go home, ok?" She didn't respond.

He crouched down and sprang up through the remains of his roof. He saw below men in suits. In their hands were dart guns. He landed as they turned to face him and bounded for the grate leading to the ocean. He ran in a zigzag motion as the darts fired at him. A series of darts fired in front of his path and he skidded to a halt as he lowered his head to avoid a dart."On its back! It's the heiress!" Naruto reached up with one long arm and grabbed Hinata.

He pulled her to his chest, "Hold your breath!" He said as he heard the inhale and he jumped into the ocean. He sunk down, his fur rippling and waving as darts impacted into the water, quickly losing power. He looked around, remembering that there were wild fish that would see him as a meal and more importantly Hinata. He glanced up. Even from the depths, his eyes could see the watery shadows. He waited silently, glancing up but keeping his eyes on the rest of the slightly murky water. He felt Hinata gripping him tightly and knew she was running out of air. He looked up to see the shadows were fading. He swam to the side, seeing the fish that were flopping at the grate, and he swam up and broke the surface of the water. He grunted as he grabbed the bars and pulled himself up along with 30 pounds of extra water on his fur. Hinata gasped as she inhaled deeply, Naruto looking down at her then grabbing a bar to push it forward. It fell forward and he squeezed in his bulk. Holding Hinata with one arm, he put the bar back and set her down.

She panted as she stumbled to the wall and braced on it. Eventually she looked at Naruto who was watching her quietly, "Thank you Naruto-kun." She panted, and he blushed slightly at that.

He looked down, "N-no problem... come on, I'll take you to see a doctor." He said, noting that her ankle had a cut that was bleeding freely. "Blood's dangerous here." He reached for her but she backed away.

She looked at him, "I-I can walk just show me where to go." He paused then nodded, and he jumped over her and landed in front, jerking his head to follow, and follow she did. She made a point to memorize each turn and how far before said turn.

She was amazed at the sewer they were walking on with the pathways, and in the middle was where the water flowed. There was a smell; not pungent but mildly unpleasant.

Eventually she hear voices, "And what were you doing with those demons, huh Jiraiya?" An older female voice said.

A grumble, "Just taking them here for some medicine honey, don't get like this again." a old male voice said. There was a slap followed with an "OW! That stings you know!" Naruto gave a grumble of his own.

A pause, "Naruto that you?" The female voice called.

Naruto sighed, "Yes Bacchan, it's me, I got a patient for you." He said and he walked up then turned and sat down on his rear, looking like a dog. Hinata blinked then saw a head poke out from a wall. She blinked as she saw a rather young looking woman in her 30's looking at her. She had blonde hair with large bangs that nearly reached her eyes.

The woman gave a, "Ooooh nice find," to which Naruto gave a grunt of disapproval, "Come, come, my dear." She said as Hinata sighed.

She was relieved since she hadn't expected a human down here, so she walked up, "Hello I am Hinata Hyuuga." She said, bowing when she approached, but when she did she gasped as she saw a large frog lying on its side rubbing its belly, wearing a yukata with a large white fundoshi, a pipe in one hand. "Oh g-good day sir," she said nervously.

The woman laughed, "Little girl, do not be surprised just because I don't look like a mutant," she said as her bangs wiggled and from them, two stalks appeared not unlike a slug's. "Doesn't mean I'm not." She winked at Hinata's shocked look. "I guess if it's not my darling little godson, all other mutants must seem like a culture shock huh?" She guessed.

Hinata blushed, "W-Well, N-Naruto-kun is... u-unique." Naruto looked away as the woman turned her gaze to him.

She had a raised eyebrow and an amused look, "Kun huh? This girl is a keeper if you ask me, even if she is a Hyuuga." She said.

Naruto huffed and lowered his upper body. Hinata however was surprised, "Y-You know my family?" She asked.

The woman sighed, "I'm Tsunade and that's Jiraiya, my husband." The frog raised the pipe in a salute. "Before me and my husband were mutants, I was a doctor on the surface and he, an informant for the highest bidder. But our businesses were taken over by the Hyuuga family and we were told to leave or else. We had nowhere to go so we went to Drainage City. The food eventually turned us into mutants, but what else can you expect with all that irradiated waste and water? I gained the ability to talk to and control slugs, my husband? He can talk to frogs, breathe underwater, and has an awesome tongue hm, hm, hmmm..." she chuckled, rubbing her cheek. "Ahh, love, so wonderful. Something my godson has yet to realize. Hopefully you'll help him do that." she said. "Anyway, you're free to go, my slugs have already healed you." She said.

Hinata blinked then looked down, and she turned blue and fainted on the spot. Naruto's hand shot out, catching her, "You should've told her beforehand." He said as from Hinata's ankle a large slug slid off and began crawling up the wall.

Tsunade glared, "And you need to realize when you have someone that will love you for all time." She said, "Mutant or not, even if she isn't, if she eats enough of the food, she'll turn into one. Though I've heard rumor that just being near a mutant can cause mutation. Or... maybe that's why you want her away? To not subject herself to your life? To have her be 'normal?'" She asked. Naruto looked away but it was answer enough. "Boy, let me tell you one thing. True love is something you get only once in life. ONCE! Once it comes and you give it up, you'll never get it again." She warned, "So be careful, because this girl loves you truly, and she would happily take this life to be with you." Naruto was silent as he held Hinata to his chest and went away.

She sighed, Jiraiya placed a froggy hand on his shoulder, "He's young and he's confused. Changing from a man into a mutant isn't exactly a painless or to be more accurate pleasant feeling, it's a huge shock to have a new body." he said. "Remember?" Tsunade nodded.

She held out her hand and petted the slug, "Well either way, she can't be normal anymore. The taint is already there as it is in all humans." She said as she rubbed the slug.

Jiraiya sighed, "Well, I'm off to get some ingredients." He said and he went past her and pressed a button as the wall opened and he got out and jumped into the water ,giving a large croak as he did. Tsunade sighed as she went to the back to check on her slugs.

-Drainage City, Sewer Pipes-

Naruto walked down the path heading toward a small row of pipes near the ceiling. He jumped onto them and traveled down them to reveal a sizable hole from which light was coming from. He walked inside to reveal a hovel where most of the items from his house now lay. He went to the bed and laid Hinata down and began to move about. In the wall was a refrigerator that was bound to an electrical cable keeping the machine running. On several walls were small lamps that were also rigged with electric cables with a small light switch underneath that was near the entrance. His bed, where Hinata laid, was directly in the middle of the new home. He opened it and saw nothing but fish. He sighed knowing he couldn't feed her that. He grabbed a few fishes into his mouth and closed the fridge, leaving to bargain for food.

Shortly after he left, Hinata stirred then rose from her sleep. She blinked then remembered the slug and touched down where it had been only to find smooth skin, 'D-Did a slug heal me? I thought the slugs were maneaters now.' She had heard stories of miners and even workers of other profession coming across nests of slugs only to find out the slimy creatures were able to eat human beings! She was relieved though she hadn't been attacked by one.

She saw the light and realized she was in some kind of den. As she looked around she had a good idea where she was. 'This is Naruto-kun's new home.' She realized. She got up and began to walk around to see everything. She was impressed by the fact that everything was powered by rigging the cables together. When she opened the fridge, she saw it was filled to the brim with fish, of many different kinds. But she saw these fish were unusually large and bloated. It kinda gave her the creeps, so she closed the fridge.

She barely had time to look around when she heard soft paw pads. She turned to the only entrance there was and saw Naruto walking back. In his hands was a food container, and he held it out and she took it. She opened it to reveal cooked fried rice, with some eggs and pieces of meat. "Eat, you need to regain your strength." He said and he walked to the bed, circled once then laid down watching her. Hinata saw a small plastic fork taped to the side and pulled it off and opened it to start eating. It had a wonderful aroma and an equally wonderful taste. As she stirred and ate, she realized she hadn't answered a very important question.

She looked up at Naruto who eyes were half-lidded, "How did you transform?" She asked.

His eyes opened and he sighed, "Where I lived as you saw was close to the ocean and a drainage pipe. Fish for some reason like to gather around that pipe. Big fish at that. Whenever I didn't have enough money to afford food, I ate those. When my parents were around, we only ate them on occasion, but with them gone, I didn't have much money skills and didn't know where to get a good price. So I ate those more often than not. Eventually I ate one too many. I got stomach cramps and when I did eat, nothing else would stay down. So I kept eating them, and as I ate, I eventually began to transform." He held up his hand looking at it. "It was quick but painful. Within 4 days, I was transformed, but I was much smaller originally. I just got to this size like yesterday though I'm pretty sure I'm still getting bigger. Anyway, that's about it." He said, lowering his hand.

Hinata ate, silently listening. She then looked in the fridge. "Are the fish in there the ones from the pipe?" She asked. He frowned and nodded, "Soooo, if I ate that I'd be like you?" She asked.

Naruto snarled, "Nothing is worth going through that experience!" He snapped, "Don't think it's something that can be rationalized because it can't! Nothing is worth becoming a mutant." he said.

He flushed red and lowered his head. "I-I... I'm not worth that." He said after a while. She set her meal down, walked up to up him and hugged his head. He didn't resist as his nostrils smelled her body. Even with the sewer, he could smell the scent of flowers on her ,a scent that relaxed him, making him close his eyes as a gentle rumbling emitted from his chest.

She smiled, "I think you're worth that." They were silent for about a minute before Hinata released him. She went to grab her meal and went back to him to sit down. She ate next to him before another question came to her,."What was that slug on me? I thought it was one of those man-eating ones!"

Naruto nodded, "That was a healing slug. Tsunade-baachan can talk to slugs with telepathy. That's why she has the slug stalks. She can control them too. As for how she made them, well apparently, years ago she found one slug that could make wounds close up really quick and had a special mucus that works like an anti-septic. After that, she spent many years breeding new species for newer maladies. She'll admit though she doesn't have a fix for everything but does have a quite a few. She's probably the best doctor in both cities." He explained.

Hinata gave an 'ohhhh' of understanding, then realized something, "You called her baachan... is she your grandmother?" She asked though she quite remembered her calling Naruto her 'god-son.'

The mutant shook his head, "Nah, she's my godmother. My parents knew about her since before I was even born. They used to take me down to see her either to chat or for a medical check-up. Apparently I was notorious for trying to go near the man-eating slugs. She'd say that was 'reckless but fearless.' I figure she was right." He said, a slight smile on his lips.

The heiress paused, looking down at her meal, "Do you remember?" she finally asked after a long pause.

He cocked his head, "Remember what?"

She sighed, "Remember when we first met?" She waited as he turned his head from side to side, thinking, eventually he shook his head. She smiled," I wouldn't exactly blame you considering what happened." She said. She finished eating and set the food aside. After several seconds, she began,."About 12 years ago I was heading home when I was ambushed by some students from school. They began to tease and make fun of me because of my eyes." She said pointing to her pearl like orbs. "My family has a genetic mutation that was caused due to exposure to the chemicals here. Our eyes are white instead of any other color, but we aren't blind. That being said, some of us are born with them white and some of us are born with normal eyes, only for it to turn white eventually. I was the second case." Naruto felt a strange tugging in his mind.

He had a vague vision of a little girl with dark hair crying while several boys crowded around her, laughing and jeering at her. "I was so scared and embarrassed and they were picking on me... till someone came and told them to 'Leave her alone! She might have white eyes but at least she has prettier eyes than you!' They stopped and stepped back. And..." she looked up and saw Naruto's eyes were wide with realization as he had fully remembered what happened next.

He had charged the boys only to get knocked down by a punch to the face. He had then endured a brutal stomping till his parents came with the boys' parents who gave them a strict scolding as well as a beating of their own. A bruised and bloody Naruto was taken away but before that, Hinata had grabbed his hand and tearfully told him 'sorry and thank you so much.' He had replied, 'A pretty girl like you shouldn't be bullied cause you look better than they do!' And his parents took him to Tsunade to get patched up.

Naruto lowered his head, ashamed he had forgotten this. "So from then on?" He asked. Hinata smiled and nodded, "Huuuuh..." he sighed. "You can stay for tonight, but tomorrow you really should leave." He got to his feet, stretching his hands out, back raised not unlike a cat stretching. He then then circled his bed a few times till he stopped, lowering his body, and laid his head on his hands and closed his eyes. Hinata watched as he slept, then walked forward and snuggled up as close she could, and closed her own eyes, going to sleep.

-The next day-

Hinata woke up to find her lying on the bed with Naruto utterly gone. She blinked as she sat up, rubbed her eyes, her mouth opening to yawn slightly. She rubbed her head and looked around, seeing a small package on the ground. She grabbed it and opened it, revealing some curry with some strange meat covered by the sauce. She shrugged, and grabbing the chopsticks,began to eat. She could say for sure that it wasn't the best breakfast, but if she was going to live here, she would have to adapt to the food and terrain. She heard the pipes rattle and saw Naruto walking toward her. In his mouth was a bundle of clothes. He walked up to her and opened his mouth letting it fall out. The clothes were surprisingly dry considering where they had been seconds earlier.

He shook his body and looked away, "Those belonged to my mother. They should fit you for when you wash up." He said.

Hinata swallowed and grabbed one, "Wash where? How?" She asked.

He lowered his head. "When you're ready, I'll take you to get washed." he said cryptically. "Finish eating first. It'll be a long walk back to your place." He said.

The white eyed girl looked at him. "I'm not going back."

Naruto turned, "You should."

Hinata frowned, "I don't want to." She countered.

A growl came from his throat, "What could I have that you don't?" He snarled.

She lowered her head, "Freedom." his snarl died out. "Being home is like being in a gilded cage, I'm not allowed to bring anybody to my place, I'm forced to do things I don't want to do. I'm told to make 'friends' to practice my negotiating and social skills for the sake of the company." She said, her voice deep with lament and sadness,."Wealth is a burden, not a gift. I can't do anything with the money except be molded into a tool of my father's choosing. I'd rather be poor and disassociated from my family than be rich only to become a soulless and cold person." Naruto was silent as he considered her words. He sighed, wishing he could tell her otherwise but knew that even if he did, she would still prefer to be with him than back home.

He then inhaled and made his decision. 'I'd rather she be happy than sad... I just hope I can make her happy.' He moved to her and pressed his head against her back, "You can stay but this isn't an easy life. Be ready to work for your worth."

She smiled, putting down the food and turned and hugged his large head warmly, "Thank you." She said, unaware of the mutant's crimson cheeks due to feeling her breasts.

He pulled away and huffed, "F-Finish eating, I gotta work, over there." He pointed toward a broken wall. "There's a pipe that's pouring out clean water, it could be hot or cold depends. You can use the heating stove to warm yourself up." he said, "There's a towel amongst the clothes I brought. Use that to dry off." He turned and padded toward the exit while Hinata grabbed the meal and continued eating.

-Naruto-

Naruto walked down the watery sewer passage, taking care to not step on one of the many sinkholes that littered the water filled pipe. Eventually the sound of pickaxes digging caught his ear and he increased his speed. He came to a turn, and in it was a group of people working pickaxes, shovels and hammers in hand while others had cement devices that were hanging from the ceiling to smea on the cement while steel pipes kept the ceiling from falling. There was a small bridge that led to a pathway that was straight ahead in front of Naruto..

Standing on the bridge was a large robot with long black hair, and a large black metal body, with thin arms and legs, but huge hands and feet. It had a steel jaw that contrasted it's equally large black head and beady glowing eyes. It turned to face Naruto, it's eyes flashing and blinking. "Naruto Uzumaki punching in at 7:40 A.M." it said and it turned back to the workers. Naruto walked past the robot and approached one of the tunnels in development and held up a clawed hand. The diggers parted. Naruto went in just enough that his upper body was inside, and claws outstretched, he began to stab the rock then move his hand to the side and down. He retracted his hand and then clenching it into a fist he punched the rock wall, causing it to shatter and fall down. He began to punch through the now weakened rock while the other workers worked on expanding the hole making it wider and wider.

Naruto got this job shortly after his mutation. As it turned out, the residents of Drainage City were growing daily to the point that Fume City approved of the residents expanding the pipes to accommodate the new tenants. They sent some O.S. Bots to manage the construction, short for Organic Sentience sometimes called Bio-roids, and so far, there were 6 pipeways being made, including the one Naruto was currently working on. The Bots handled everything from pay, to company orders, and even security. They were extremely powerful and could handle most threats from the sewers of Drainage City but there were rumors that they could be destroyed, but doing so destroyed the money they contained as well. As a result, nobody tried to attack them not even for money.

Naruto kept punching and carving out the hole till a loud beeping sounded from the O.S. Bot. "30 Minute Lunch Break." It shouted.

Naruto stopped his work and turned and padded away to go the lunch station that was nearby, making sure he had enough sen to pay for it. Money in Drainage City was also different, called Sen instead of Yen. The value of Sen was much lower compared to yen. A single yen was worth 3.84 Sen. When he had gone underground, he was surprised to find that he was 'rich' compared to most Drainage Dwellers. He got in the line, waiting for his turn and as he did, he remembered Hinata and decided he would get a lunch for her too.

-Much Later on, Naruto's Burrow-

Hinata sat down, reading a book she had found on the ground/ It was an old one, but was a fantasy story about a handsome prince who had turned into a hideous beast due to his own cruel heart by a beautiful enchantress posing as a ugly woman. The lunch she had gotten from Naruto was quite good and she had learned what her breakfast was: rat curry, which at first disgusted her then she realized that it was quite delicious and would eat it again as long as she imagined it to be beef instead of rat. Now she was just waiting for Naruto. She was planning on giving him a cooked meal for dinner and gave him a list of things to buy. She hoped that the city had some vendor that had some of the ingredients she had put down. She heard the rattling of the pipes and the rustling of a bag, and she looked and saw Naruto's form walking toward her, a plastic bag in his mouth. He walked up to her, set down the bag and gave a wide yawn. She looked at all his teeth curiously before he closed his mouth, "Tired, going to sleep... see you in the morning..." he mumbled, and went to the bed, circled around it twice then laid down eyes closed. He was snoring within seconds. Hinata sighed and grabbed the bag. She pulled out a 4 pound bag of rice, a vegetable that looked like potatoes and green onions, and finally wrapped up hunk of tofu. She smiled and went to the fridge, opening it and placing the foodstuff inside.

That all settled, she turned to Naruto who had shifted on his back, rear leg held up, twitching while his front paws twitched and shuddered. She walked up to him, moved past his breasts and rubbed his stomach soothingly, his twitching stopped and eventually a rumble emerged from his throat. Smiling, she walked up to his torso and nestled herself inside and closed her eyes to sleep but she barely began to drift when she smelled something and felt something poking her arm. She opened her eyes and saw Naruto's body was shuddering again.

Concerned she pushed off, and saw he was wriggling slightly, his face pained. She looked and saw a large bump in his torn pants. She went to his pants and searched desperately for a zipper. Once she found it and grabbed it, she pulled it down and then grabbed his pants and pulled them up and off. The moment she did, she got slapped in the face by something large, wet, hard and dark pink! She staggered back as she grabbed her nose which was covered in some strange, hot juice. She pulled it away and found it was quite gooey. She held it up and opened her eyes to see a clear and viscous fluid stretching from her hands. She looked back at his now bare crotch and flushed red as she saw his cock.

While she knew he still had it, she hadn't expect to see it anytime soon. It had grown with his body and while it was much larger than a normal human's, it wasn't so large that sex with a person was inconceivable... just probably very painful at first. It stood at least 2 feet long, nearly reaching his breasts. It was pink with a dark coloration, almost making it maroon in color. The head was the head of a human cock but was slightly more pointed like a dog's cock. She noted that there was a slight bulge near the base of his cock kinda like the knot of said canine's. She also saw his balls, large ones the size of basketballs and covered entirely in fur.

Hinata took a moment to get rid of the pre-cum, as she had deduced from her face and approached Naruto. She could see his cock throbbing, possibly in tune with his heartbeat. She looked at it closely and could smell the musk coming off it. The smell enough to make her drop her inhibitions and just pounce him. She theorized that if she ingested something of Naruto, she would probably turn into a female version of him. Though that was a slim chance and something Naruto wouldn't approve of. Had it been her father, she wouldn't have dared try to be like the mutant fox before her. But her desire and her love for Naruto urged her to be one with him and to be like him. She grabbed the head of his length and opened her mouth, placing her lips on his head and sucked in his juices,swallowing. It was a very sour, salty taste, unpleasant but for him, she would endure it.

She sighed, and looked at his length which was still hard and wondered what to do next. Eventually, she just decided to try and slide his pants back on but after several attempts found she could only get it to over half the body. She sighed and went around to Naruto's back and snuggled in to sleep.

-The Next Day-

Hinata woke to find a plate of rat curry in front of her, and she took it and ate it quietly. As she did, she felt her skin itch, but ignored it. She would wash up shortly after eating. She finished and found that despite the meat being rat, it felt a lot like beef. The taste was a little odd but not enough to be unappetizing. She got up and stripped off the dress she wore and feeling the itch again, scratched her stomach. She felt something weird, strands of hair on her stomach but she dismissed it and went to wash up. She was determined to cook Naruto a meal tonight.

-The day afterward-

When Hinata woke up today she found, to her shock and delight, the strands of hair were thickening, becoming fur, and unlike Naruto's rich golden, her's was a dark blue, much like her hair. Initially, Hinata was overjoyed. 'I'm becoming like Naruto-kun!' was her first thought. Then she realized that Naruto wouldn't take this news quite well. He was quite against her being here, and to find out that not only did she ingest a part of him but was transforming as a result of that, she was quite sure he'd never trust her enough to keep her around him. So she would have no choice but to hide it. 'Shouldn't be too hard.' She thought, just wearing clothes should cover this up, but she couldn't even begin to think that more transformations would occur to her, some that would prove very difficult to keep hidden

-And the day after that-.

When Hinata woke this morning, she found that mouth felt odd. When she opened her mouth and reached in, she felt her teeth had begun to change, her canines becoming larger and more pronounced. When she closed her mouth, she could feel it digging slightly into her gums, though thankfully not enough that it broke through her fleshy gum tissue. But that wasn't the only change, the fur on her stomach was becoming thicker and starting to now spread out to the rest of her body. She began to wear looser dresses to cover that up.

-The following day-

This time, she awoke to a slight pain in her buttocks and reached down to find a small nub of flesh that she could wiggle freely. More of her teeth were starting to sharpen into fangs, and the fur was starting to reach her breasts and her hips. Also, she began to start feeling weak sensations from her fur, making her sometimes twitch under her dress. She eventually had Naruto get some hot wax paper to painfully peel it off. She hoped it would be enough.

-And the Next day-

The day following that, she noticed her breasts were larger, but the weight did not increase. If anything, it decreased. A quick pat down revealed muscles that were starting to form on her body. Her bra which could fit her D-cup bust quite well was now a little tight around her bust and she could feel the straps digging into her flesh. Also, she was distressed to find fur growing back where she had waxed it off. Not only that, but it grew back in thicker quantities and now was extending to the beginning of her joints. She had a feeling that if kept pulling it out, it would come back thicker than before. For now, she would just leave it alone, and worried about covering the rest of her body.

-And the Day after that-

Hinata was beginning to get worried about her changes as now her limbs were starting to extend longer and longer. She was getting taller and lankier, her fur now at her shoulders and extending down her legs. Her bust thankfully didn't grow but it still felt tight around her chest and back. She was quite sure that Naruto was starting to note the changes as he would stare at her long before laying his head down to sleep. She was grateful that he worked all days in the week to not notice her changes. Then again, cooking for him was another distraction, though it was getting harder with her longer limbs. She just hoped she didn't change anymore tomorrow.

-Current Day-

Today her vagina was getting bigger; along with that, all her other transformations were progressing still. Her fur was now starting to branch out to her limbs, which had grown by half a foot now, her canines were now growing, and her front teeth were forming into fangs now, to the point they now meshed together quite neatly. Her breasts were now getting close to F-cups and were gaining quite a bit of perk as well. Hinata quickly realized that she would be unable to hide her mutation for much longer and she hypothesized that pretty soon her face and neck would start turning soon, and when they did, she would suffer Naruto's anger. However, she knew if she talked to him, he would be angry either way. For her, it was a lose-lose situation. She sighed as she went to the fridge to pull out a fish only to realize that there were only 2 left. She would have to tell Naruto to get some more fish.

-Naruto-

Naruto punched the rock wall but his body was on autopilot. He was thinking of Hinata. Since allowing her to stay, he found himself growing more and more attached to her. When he came home, she would have a hot meal ready for him from the fish he had and the ingredients he had brought her. The food was quite good and it reminded him of his mother. Also, he quite liked how she would flush red and poke her fingers when he said her food was delicious.

There was also the fact he would wake up with her snuggling against him. He would do his best to make sure she didn't wake up when he did, using his tail to gently set her down as he got up for work. However, he had caught her scent each time he did so and he had to admit, it was drawing a certain reaction from him that he was quite afraid of at the moment. He was being sexually drawn to her now and was having trouble containing his lustful desires. 'Though is it really lustful at this point?' He wondered. He couldn't deny he was attracted to her. He liked her cooking, found her to be overall cute, and admired that she had yet to complain once about her current situation. There was also what his godmother said about her.

He remembered it quite vividly, "Boy, let me tell you one thing. True love is something you get only once in life. ONCE! Once it comes and you give it up, you'll never get it again." He gave a growl at the words, then he breathed out from his nostrils and sighed. He pulled back and looked at the rock wall as it was carved out with the works and their hammers, chisels, and sledgehammers. When he thought about recently, he felt that Hinata was different somehow but he couldn't think how exactly. But perhaps his mind was playing tricks. He worked 7 days a week for 12 hours a day. He slotted it all to the back of his mind and went back to work.

-Naruto's Hollow, Later on-

Naruto jumped onto the pipes and headed home to smell the meal cooking he walked in eager to eat. Hinata was sitting down reading a book he saw the plate of food and approached it, Hinata looked at him and smiled "Naruto-kun we need more fish, we're running low." He nodded and walked to the plate of food laid out for him. He grabbed it and sat down to eat. As he did, he looked at Hinata who shuffled slightly. He looked away and kept eating, not wanting to make her uncomfortable. Naruto finished quickly and he walked to his bed and performed the slow circling before lying down to rest. He looked at Hinata one more time then closed his eyes to sleep.

Hinata stared at Naruto and she bit her lips, blood flowing slightly as her new fangs broke into her lips. She felt so hot, she wanted to rip off the clothes that hid her fur that was now spreading to arms and legs but she couldn't. Her new tail was now several inches long and also growing thick blue bushy fur with a white brush tip. Desires upon desires filled her mind so much that her head ached. She wanted to just go out and eat something alive and hot, to show Naruto her transforming body, to jump on his cock and mate with it till her belly was swollen with his seed and young. But she bit her lip and suppressed the desires. She went to him hesitantly, then moved so that she was behind him and rested her head against his back and falling asleep.

-Next Morning-

When Hinata woke up this time, she found she was laying on the bed and that there was a shadow over her. She sat up and found Naruto standing over her, a frown on his face. Her hand went up to push the hair from her eyes past her ears, when she felt them. Two large fur covered ears. She shuddered as she became aware of why he was still there. Tears began to form on her eyes as she waited for his angry shouting. But he didn't shout, he just sat there, looking down, "What started it?" He asked, finally.

She blushed as she began to run her hands over and over each other, "A-A few n-nights back you're pants were... bulging and you looked uncomfortable, I-I rushed to pull them off but when I did I... I..." she trailed off her face utterly crimson.

Naruto could guess from there what happened. His DNA got on her, and as a result, she was turning into him. When he first thought of it, he was furious at both her and himself. Her because she was once again throwing away normalcy for him, and at himself for his damned dreams of her he had that night. But he drifted back on his godmother's words and knew that to be angry was wrong, if anything he should be grateful that she was going so far for him even if it was somewhat involuntary. He saw her shuddering, quivering with fear at his next words. He moved rising from his back legs and began to circle around her. She closed her eyes and curled into a ball.

Hinata was surprised when she felt Naruto's fur around her body and even more so when she felt his hot rough tongue licking her cheek. She looked up and saw him licking her cheek then the back of her neck. She was confused, and he stopped and lowered his head so her cheek was against her own. His body vibrated as he gave a rumbling purr. She pulled her head back, "W-What are you doing?" She asked.

Naruto was silent, then he raised his head, "I'm sorry for how I've been acting before. I was selfish thinking of myself without considering how you actually felt. I just wanted you to have a normal life, but in this city both Drainage and Fume, normal is not exactly 'normal' to the rest of the world." He said. "I want things to be happy for both of us... if... that's ok with you?" he asked.

Tears of joy streamed from her eyes and she hugged his head tightly sobbing, "Yes! Oh yes please! Let us be happy together!" She said.

Naruto felt her breasts and he raised his head slightly, "So what are the changes so far?" he asked.

The former princess blushed, "U-umm... I-I'll show you." She said, and he understood and uncurled from her as she released him and he raised his head just enough to see her whole body. She grabbed the dress and pulled it off. Naruto saw the fur, the extended limbs, enlarged breasts, and puffy labia. He inhaled her and he could smell her hormones and sexaul juices. He felt his loins stir. He knew that if he was to truly accept her, he would have to make her his body and soul. He would have to mark her in a way that other mutants would know otherwise. But he couldn't now. He saw her looking at his pants which he knew were probably bulging slightly.

Naruto walked forward, "Later tonight." he said, "I have to go to work." He said, and he padded off. "You can eat the fish. If anything, it might speed up the process." And he was out and heading for his job, making sure to submerge himself to let the cool water kill his boner. Hinata sat there then sighed with relief and flopped onto the bed before quickly moving so she wasn't squashing her new tail. She laid there, then sat up and realizing. 'Later tonight... does that mean he'll.... Oh my god... does that mean we'll be...' She turned pink as she thought about Naruto's phallus and knew she would have to make herself presentable. With that in mind, she went to the makeshift shower to wash up.
