New story alert!

I know that I haven't finished my first and I will, it's just that I realized that I liked the Aburame clan and I was literally pelted with this idea, seriously, some fool in my class threw this book about the study of bees at me when I waved at his girlfriend. Weird huh?

The Naruto in this story is so OOC that I canst even believe it.

Warning! Grey Kyuubi! Ah!

So, presenting…The White Hornet.

CHAPTER 1

Konohagakure no Sato that day was very peaceful and warm. The sun was shining; the parents were conversing in the park as they watched over their kids. The children squealed in joy as they played their game of 'ninja.' All was well and all were happy.

Even Naruto was happy, but he had to contain it. He was a normally calm and quiet boy but right now he allowed himself some quiet giggles. We find him deep in the forest on his knees behind a tree scribbling into a note book his jiji gave him for his sixth birthday. He wore a plain white shirt, orange shorts and blue sandals; he made sure to keep his clothes clean even though he did not have plenty of it. He bought his clothes from the traveling merchants that came into the village every October and stayed till the end of the month.

Right now he had to contain his excitement and keep his voice down. He was observing a nest of hornets. Not just any normal hornets (*cowers under desk* hornets please forgive me!) but the rarely seen Iron Hells Advocate (IHA) Hornets (not real, just roll with it). These type of wasps were only seen once and the description he read about in the library was vague but he was sure it was the IHA Hornets because of the silvery sheen they had on their stingers and the single horn-like protrusions they had on their heads, their wings hummed rapidly like it was being powered by electricity and from what he was seeing they could grow up to 3 cm long. The bigger ones were red and black and the smaller ones were green and black.

He giggled quietly and froze when the humming increased but sighed in relief when it reduced. He scribbled down the description, the size and its assumed weight. He sketched down as much as he saw, he dared not catch one; his strange healing factor may most definitely not save him if the steel-like stingers and he did not feel like experimenting, it seemed that they had a sort of deep camaraderie; that they would know when one of their own was in trouble, he was still shuddering from what he saw them do to that poor snake. 'Poor guy. I couldn't even salvage its body.' He watched in deep fascination as they flew around the flat, oval shaped nest and scoured the surrounding forest. He did not even remember that he was also in the forest.

The only warning he got before he blacked out was a violent humming of hornet wings and a merciless sting to the shoulder.

Inside the blonde, the Kyuubi tutted at the boys carelessness and flooded his hosts body with its chakra to see if there was any way to save his hosts life and in extension his own. From inside its cage he watched in mild fascination as the humming insects backed away from the blondes aerated body, seemed to have a discussion and charged. They burrowed down into the boy's body, Kyuubi shrugged tiredly and watched as the queen flew out of the nest and also burrowed into the blonde's body. He sent its vile chakra at the queen but it took the chakra easily while it was also taking the boys chakra. The fox knew the insects plan and didn't know what to think of it, 'as long as I don't die. You can stay as long as you want.' The queen crawled into the boys stomach, ate the organs there and started laying its eggs on the walls, when it finished it stuck a clawed leg into where the seal was and tried to tap into the Kyuubi's chakra, he assumed that the boys chakra alone was too 'clean.' The insect preferred eating corrupt chakra.

Somewhere in Ameagakure no Sato, Orochimaru, the snake Sannin shivered.

The queen gave a high pitched whistle and the hornets that were hovering over Naruto to protect the new nest as it was being formed and they entered the holes that covered the boy's arms, legs and shoulders. The holes didn't close up. This happened within the span of 30 minutes.

All over Konoha, Kyuubi's chakra was felt and the Hokage rallied all the available ANBU operatives and ran as fast as his old legs could carry him towards the forest Naruto was in. when they came they watched in wonder and horror as huge wasps (hornets are a kind of wasps, so don't get confused if I interchange them and hornets.) surrounded the passed out child. The hornets burrowed into the child and the vile chakra increased and pushed some of the inexperienced operatives back. Hiruzen started making the hand seals for the 'wind release: Great Breakthrough' but had to dodge a hornet that came at his neck, it was the same with his other ninja. All the insects froze before they flew into the boy, the boy's skin paled slightly and his blonde hair seemed to drain of its colour, leaving it pure white but not dazzling.

When the last hornet entered the child, the Sandaime ran over to the small child and felt for a pulse. He held his breath when he didn't feel one but released it when it thumped back to life half a minute later. "take him to the hospital and be careful not to shake him too much" he commanded his ninja'.

"Hai, Sandaime-sama!"

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The same day

"I really don't see why he is still sleeping, Hokage-sama, he is in perfect health. The only abnormalities are the occasional hornet that flies out of him and back and the fact that he doesn't have any organ in his stomach region. But if I were to predict when he'll wake up I'll say maybe today or tomorrow." Konoha's head medic said to the pacing Hokage. They were in Naruto's hospital room, watching the 7 year olds steady breathing.

"Are you sure, yu-san?"

"Positive."

"You may go and attend to your other duties." The doctor bowed and left the room silently. The Hokage stopped pacing and stood in front of the window; he looked down on the peacefully buzzing village and smiled at the stone visage of the Yondaime Hokage. "Naruto is alright, Minato-kun. Naruto is fine."

In the boy's mindscape, Naruto sat cross legged before the Kyuubi's cage with the tailed beast standing behind the bars in all its glory. The 7 year old was trying to wrap his mind around the fact that his Sandaime-jiji did not tell him why the villagers didn't like him or that he had a huge force of nature sealed in his belly. He looked up the grinning fox that had just finished its declaration on who he was and cocked his head to the side slightly.

"Why do you think the Yondaime chose me? Jiji told me that you can seal anything up into anything. Why didn't he just seal you into a rock or something?" right now, Naruto's opinion on the Yondaime has really gone down.

"Nothing can contain me fully; even now my yang half was sealed into Minato before the Shinigami took him. I believe that you were the only available orphan." The creature shrugged nonchalantly. It turned his head to the left when heard a buzzing sound. Naruto also looked over and scampered back in fear when he saw a fully grown IHA hornet buzzing over to him. This wasp looked very different from what he saw; this one was pure white, but not dazzling. Kyuubi huffed in anger; the child feared the hornets more than he feared him. The insect stopped a few inches from his face, the bug paused before it 'licked' Naruto's forehead, and the insect hovered away from him and flew down a random corridor. Naruto had to punch himself in the face so that he wouldn't follow the insect.

There was soon a buzzing that filled the room. Kyuubi used his paws to cover his ears but Naruto could make out a voice in it, the buzzing seemed to get lower in pitch and it slowed down until Naruto swore he heard a voice. He cleaned his ears with his pinkie and the buzzing lowered in pitch again.

"Hello child? Can you hear me?" the voice buzzed. "I apologise for the noise. I have no experience in association with other creatures besides my children."

Naruto looked at Kyuubi who was also hearing the voice and shrugged "no problem. Who are you?"

The voice did not answer for a minute, "I am the queen of the hornets that attacked you. We were attracted to the evil chakra we felt from you and we just couldn't resist. I hope you don't mind."

"I honestly don't know how to respond to that. Kyu-san, what do you think?"

"She can do whatever she wants as long as you don't die." He responded. He lay down and folded his arms under his head, "I'm going to take a nap." And a second later he started snoring.

"Do you mind child?" the voice asked again, it sounded nervous, like it was afraid that Naruto would kick her out. "The chakra we felt was the most evil imaginable, I do not feel like there may be one superior to it."

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki and I don't mind as long as you don't cause trouble. What is your name?"

"You do not have to worry about trouble; you will like our association. We can even call it a symbiosis. About my name, I do not have one, but you may just call me Queen. When you wake up you would be able to speak with me regularly, and a brief warning Naruto, if you get too excited I would get too excited and by extension my children would get too excited and an excited hornet is a dangerous one, not to you but to those around you."

"Thank you for the advice, queen. How would we benefit from this?"

"Our species were rarely seen because a long time ago we were hunted for our stingers and our nests. They were made into weapons and paper respectively, we are the only type of wasps that can adapt to all sorts of conditions after 'eating' chakra, but since we hid away we had to settle for animal meat. If you supply chakra to us, Kyuubi's or yours, we will be in your service. Since your chakra capacity is far larger than normal plus the foxes, we will be with you until you die, naturally of course." From the way she spoke he visualized her as the sort of person thrust into command unwillingly but she still took it because she had no option. Despite this she was soft spoken, but he did not feel like meeting her anytime soon.

"I understand, Queen. How can I wake up?"

"do not worry about that, I will handle it" she answered and when she finished speaking the white haired boy felt a hard smack to the back of his head and he sat up from his bed in the hospital rubbing at the pain. He blinked at the light passing through the window and at the shadow being cast by it; he squinted at it, "hello?"

The person jumped slightly, being interrupted from his thoughts, "Oh Naruto-kun. How are you feeling?"

"Hungry. Why didn't you tell me I had the Kyuubi sealed in me?"

The man was taken aback by the question, 'I didn't want to tell you until you became a chunin.' "You didn't need to know now; I would have told you when you were older and more mature to receive the news. I thought with the knowledge a secret you would have a normal childhood"

The now white haired boy tilted his head to the side; he made it look like he was just innocently curious "so, you kept from me the reason that everyone hates me, the reason that I don't have any friends because you thought I wasn't mature enough? I was forced to grow older because of this 'secret' that everyone older than me knows of. How did that happen anyway? Kyuubi told me it had two other hosts, Mito Uzumaki and Kushina Uzumaki, and I'm sure the villagers didn't beat them up. What other secrets about myself aren't you telling me, do you know my parents?" when the man's mouth twitched downwards, Naruto nodded calmly "I thought so. Who are or were they?"

"I can't tell you that, it's for your own protection."

The boy hummed to himself, like he was having a discussion with himself. "Can I leave?" the man nodded quietly. The white haired boy jumped off the bed and looked down at the hospital gown he was wearing, he just shrugged and walked out of the door, ignoring the pointing villagers.

That night was one to remember for all those that heard the story. Four chunin and 15 villagers had taken it upon themselves in their drunken stupor to 'finish what the Yondaime started' in the hope that when they finished 'they would be heroes of the village.' They marched to the boy's apartment and kicked down the door, only to find the boy sitting on his window looking outside up at the stars, swinging his legs idly, he paused and turned towards them and smiled. He wore his plain clothes with orange goggles over his eyes, he waved at them.

"I was wondering when you guys would come." He said before he looked back outside. "You can get on with what you want to do; I want to see how my hive would defend me."

"You won't survive what we'll do to you demon!" a chunin yelled as he swayed uncertainly on his feet from both his drinking and the fact that the boy would usually be cowering in fear, now he was not even paying attention to them. He grit his teeth in anger and charged at him with his kunai drawn but before he reached two feet to the white haired boy, a white blur shot out of the back of Naruto's neck and jammed into his forehead, the force of the blow made him summersault in place before he fell onto the ground, dead. Naruto hummed and looked behind him with a raised eyebrow.

"That was a baby hornet. It had just gotten its wings a few minutes ago." He looked at his remaining attackers, "imagine what would happen if I let loose an adult."

"You don't scare us, brat!" a random civilian from the back of the crowd shouted.

Naruto nodded and laughed quietly, "I guess that didn't scare you, let me correct that." He snapped his fingers and the door flicked shut, he turned back to look outside and sighed, 'go get them but leave one alive.' The queen nodded and gave the boy a mental pat on the shoulder. The strange thing was that the boy 'felt' it but it obviously was not a physical touch, he assumed that the queen was somehow connected with his brain. 'Tell me what you get after the experiments.' Another nod and the hornets swarmed angrily out of the holes in his collar and surrounded the attacking villagers who froze in horror and terror seeing the white wasps with steel needle like stingers. Naruto coughed in his hand, still looking out the window he said "know that I didn't bring this upon you, you did so yourselves."

The screams ensued could be heard from half way over the village; people tried knocking down the boys door but were stopped by huge wasps that tore into their hands. The Hokage came to investigate but was also blocked from entry, he urged the people to back home or visit the hospitals to treat their hands, and "I'll see what he is up to." The crowd dispersed back to their homes. The screams of pain stopped fight minutes later with a last gurgle, the door snapped back open and a shaken and pale chunin, a generic looking female, stumbled out of the of the door with it slamming back shut immediately and locking sounds came after. He didn't remember buying it for him. A nearby ANBU ninja caught her before she fell and hefted her up her on her own shoulders.

"Take her to T&I and tell Anko to interrogate her on what happened to her when she wakes up."

"Hai, Hokage-sama!" and she ran out of the building. The Sandaime looked back at the door and made to open it but a threatening hum hovered over his shoulders, promising pain unimaginable if he continued. He turned his head towards the noise and blinked at the giant hornet and shrugged.

"Tell Naruto I would like to speak to him." The hornet wavered and its humming increased. The door creaked open a little and he could make out the corner of the little boys eyes. "Hello Naruto-kun, how are you?"

"I'm fine, was there a reason you came?"

"Yes, there have been complaints of screaming in here, were you doing something bad?"

"No, I was defending myself. You can ask the lady that I let live about the details, I'm busy right now, goodbye." He said shortly before he closed his door. The Hokage sighed and turned back to his remaining ninjas' and waved them away. They left except for dog (Inu) "is there a problem, dog?"

"Yes, Hokage-sama, do you think it is wise to leave Naruto alone with those things?"

"I believe that if they had ill intentions towards him, they would have gone through with it a long time ago. But just in case, summon Shibi to my office tomorrow." The agent bowed and left, he looked back to the hornet that still hovered near his shoulder, "tell Naruto to come to my office tomorrow morning." The creature buzzed loudly and swooped onto the door, where it perched and stayed silent.

Inside the apartment, Naruto sat listening to what the queen had gathered on the IHA hornets' new abilities with their recent evolution after they had absorbed the Kyuubi's chakra. 'What did you gather?'

The queen buzzed lowly as she tended to the eggs that surrounded her, they glowed a faint blue from the little of Naruto's chakra she ingested and transferred to them. 'The chakra I took from you seemed to have 'convinced' me to stay as a permanent resident, if you want.' Naruto nodded, 'we can absorb nutrients from recently dead bodies, one of the chunin had a fire affinity so we can adapt to high temperatures but not too high. We couldn't learn their jutsu, but we absorbed what little chakra they had even though it wasn't very tasty. Our stingers can conduct chakra but not now, you have to learn how to do it, finally we won't die after just one sting, we now need about four, and it's now very strong. We may need to conduct tests on other things to confirm some of my suspicions.'

'What suspicions?'

'We turned white because the Kyuubi's chakra leached all our colour pigments out, so we're basically albino, I want to see if staying in the sun for too long will be bad for us. Our wings became thinner so our buzzing sound reduced; I want to check if how fast we can go. We normally eat flesh if there is no chakra which was most of the time until you came, we ate that chunin and adapted to his fire affinity, I want to see if we can adapt to anything else or even evolve even more. It's going to be very exciting.' The queen said as she sighed wistfully, Naruto rolled his eyes; it seemed that she like doing tests and experiments.

'Any bad side effect I and the fox's chakra have on you guys?'

'Not so far, Naruto. Because of your dual affinities for wind and water we have to breed my children separately, lucky for use your belly is deceptively spacious. Your wind chakra made our stingers sharper but your water doesn't really help much besides just storing the chakra.'

'I don't know if that is a complement or not. How is Kyu-san, is he feeling the chakra drain?'

'He is living chakra; he would not suffer from deficiency. I just need to take some of his chakra every week or so because his chakra is dense and corrupting, too much of something is unhealthy after all, and I would share it to my children when they are in need of it, believe me; it would be more than enough. I just need a handful of yours for a week so that we would familiarize ourselves with you. Since we stay in your stomach you don't need to eat, we can gather the food and give you the nutrients, and we just run on chakra. And since I am the one that separates your chakra from the Kyuubi's it helps in your chakra control and capacity, that means your belly is now your second heart, in a sense.'

Naruto smiled slightly, 'I can't believe how cool I feel right now.' The queen giggled quietly when she heard him. 'If you're in my stomach and it is spacious enough, how am I still alive?'

She shrugged, 'maybe because of the Kyuubi or your Uzumaki healing. You need to get some sleep, tomorrow we need to see how we can train because even though we will always be in you we can't always protect you.' Naruto nodded and climbed down from the window sill. He took of his goggles and swayed slightly with his eyes closed. He opened them when he thought he could stand up straight. They were blood red with a white sclera, he walked to his bed and fell down on it tiredly, and some of the hornets flew out of his shoulders and hid in the shadows in the room. 'Good night, Naruto, and don't worry about the bones; my children will handle it.'

'Good night…and thank you.'

Authors note

How was it? Too salty? I need your comments.

I would still continue 'Greatness' this is going to be like a side project or whatever if I'm having writers block on my first story.
