Naruto- Secret Sage

Adoption and new friend

The tiny amount of sage chakra had caused whatever was special about Ren to qualitatively shift forward as the amount of chakra I sensed in it grew by a large amount as the sage chakra dissolved into Ren. Alongside this increase in chakra Ren itself grew which was a bit of an issue as now my scorpion was the size of a medium sized dog on earth. It was only at that point that I learned that it was a chakra beast or even what a chakra beast was for that matter.-

I knew what chakra was since I had asked my grandmother about the weird people you occasionally saw running across the rooftops in the village. She had explained to me about ninja or shinobi depending on what you wanted to call them. How they used a type of special energy called chakra to perform amazing feats beyond what us normal folk could even begin to comprehend. My parents had been ninjas apparently and died because of the nine tails attack on the village. I had pestered my grandmother about ninjas after that as I could tell it would be VERY important information later.-

Anyways jump forward to today when these two people from ninja clans came to see me and I was playing with Ren as they talked with my Grandmother.

"Do you know if he has shown any signs of his chakra being active?" The Inuzuka woman asked seriously. 

"Not that I can tell but i was never a ninja so i wouldn't know the first thing about such things. Perhaps his parents had something to do with it?" My grandmother suggested.

"Hmm , I suppose it's possible if the mother used chakra while pregnant on a regular basis." The calm voice of the Aburame ninja said seriously.

"We have some ways to test it but we would need to separate him from the emerald scorpion first." The Inuzuka woman said calmly.

My grandmother sighed "I wish I could help since that thing makes me nervous but they are practically inseparable. Be warned though Kenzo is fiercely protective of the thing and it is of him as well so if you upset him it may attack." she warned worriedly.

"We read the report and will be careful." the Aburame said with a nod.

The pair walked over to where I was and I looked at them warily while moving in front of Ren. The woman smirked at that but held up her hands to show that she meant no harm. I didn't relax though as I could sense a large amount of chakra in both her and the man next to her. 

"Hello Kenzo. My name is Mitami Inuzuka and this is Aoi Aburame. We came after we heard about the unusual friend you have here." Mitami said introducing herself.

"I heard what you told gram gram , you can't have Ren!" I said trying to be fierce but probably looked adorable instead. Stupid child body.

Mitami chuckled at my words "Ren the scorpion huh? Not a bad name at all. You can keep Ren I promise but you need to leave it here for a little while okay?" she asked with a smile.

I looked for any signs of treachery before looking at my grandmother who nodded encouragingly at me.

"Okay , Ren stay!" I told the scorpion and under the astonished gaze of all the adults Ren settled in place on the tatami floor with a few clicks of it's mouth parts.

Mitami and Aoi exchanged excited looks before leading me outside with my grandmother following behind. The small grass covered lawn was nice and sunny and felt nice on my feet as i walked(wobbled really) across it. Mitami pulled out a green scroll that when she unrolled had a bunch of strange squiggly lines on it. To my surprise I felt her chakra move into the lines and in a puff of smoke a few items appeared out of nowhere holding my full attention.-

"Now then Kenzo could you hold this for me?" Mitami asked holding out a small glass bead that had swirling blue stuff in it.

I cautiously took the thing from the woman and immediately dropped it in surprise when i felt my chakra get pulled into it. Both of the ninjas looked excited when I did this though which made me give them a weird look.

*cough* "Don't worry about it Kenzo how about you pick it up again but hold onto it tight this time okay?" Aoi said after coughing awkwardly and fixing his expression.

I picked up the glass bead again and flinched a little when the thing started drawing in my chakra but didn't drop it again. The blue in the marble started to swirl faster and faster before the glass cracked under the surprised expressions of the two ninjas when a tiny amount of sage chakra touched it.

"It broke." I said confused as I looked at it.

Mitami took the bead back and stared at it in confusion with Aoi doing the same before they both looked at me oddly. 

"Can I go play with Ren now?" I asked bored already and they nodded so I left.

After that they spoke with my grandmother again before leaving and they didn't come back again until nearly a week later with another ninja and a bunch of animals for some reason. I got introduced to all of the animals one at a time and was surprised to see that they were all chakra beasts like Ren and might have gotten a bit greedy. I wanted all of them and like any kid threw a temper tantrum when I was told no.-

It was a small problem I had after getting reborn as I was being effected by my body in a mental capacity and couldn't think the way I used to before i died on earth. If I did I probably would have noticed that I had drawn the sort of attention I wanted to avoid on accident. You can color me surprised then to find out that I had been adopted with my grandmothers permission by Mitami and Aoi who were apparently a married couple. According to them they used to be on a squad together and ended up in a relationship at some point.-

The new house was nice though and there was even a sandy area in the yard that Ren seemed to enjoy burying itself. I found out later that Mitami had a ninken or ninja dog that was called Yokubo and was a person sized hound with soft cream colored fur and brown ears. Ren and Yokubo were not friends at all. The hound was great with me but almost downright hostile to Ren and so they never really interacted very much.-

It probably didn't help that Ren was still growing if much slower than before and had even gotten nearly as big as Yokubo by the time I was five. I ended up in trouble with my new parents a few times when I rode Ren to school since I didn't feel like walking. The teachers and other kids parents freaked out for some reason every time I did which confused me because Ren was a good scorpion, never hurt a fly. Oh right I made a new friend too, a kid with yellow hair that kept getting bullied for some reason but was actually really nice. His name was Naruto and my new parents had funny looks when I told them about him.
