Uzumaki Universe1 : Beasts of PandoraChapter 2 – Getting supplies.

Naruto glared down at the human settlement from his perch several dozen yards back from the edge of the perimeter, he was sure they were mocking him, walking around, almost care free in their pants and actual shoes, those lucky bastards! He looked down at his own Geta, similar to his sensei's and snarled down at the uncomfortable wooden sandals. 'They have such Wonderful novelties and take them for granted!' Scratching one of his whisker like marks and crossed his arms.

'Damn Na'vi, if they hadn't been so bloody quick to attack these ningen, I would have had a pair of pants right now, and if Rikudo willing, a pair of boxers!' he raged mentally. The Na'vi had been attacking the settlement constantly, upping their security, and adding big giant suits of metal with those projectile weapons those humans were so fond of waving around, only it was a massive version of them. Also, there were these small metal boxes with cylinders with a glass lens on the inside of them, every time one of the Na'vi got close, or in the sight of one of those boxes, the Human attack teams came out, their noisy projectile weapons armed and ready.

Deciding to throw caution to the wind, he jumped into the shadows, and made his way to the large compound making sure to stay out of the sight of those boxes lining the wall. Hopping the perimeter wall, he ducked under a mechanized cart and crawled with it as it drove towards the main warehouse/building. As it slowed down, he saw shoed feet walk up to the large mechanical cart, in a burst of speed, he disappeared into the main hanger. Looking around, he noticed most of the humans were in breathing masks while outside, but once they went inside those strange metal rooms, and cloudy air was released. They took the masks off and walked in freely. 'The atmosphere must really have changed when Eywa took charge…and here I thought it was a nasty cough from being inside the Juubi for so long,' he thought bitterly, stalking up to the pressured room. Staying crouched in a shadowed corner, he began timing the time it took for the room to pressurize, the time for the cameras to get from point one to point two, for the patrols to come and go, he watched for an hour, hunkered there, watching in mild amusement every time a human walked past him, not even noticing him. Figuring he had timed the times down flat, he darted forward towards the metal chamber, only a shadow in the corner of the human's eyes. Reaching the chamber, he peered around, looking for a vent or some such easy entry point. He had always wondered why people made vents big enough to crawl through. Hopefully these humans were as dumb as the ones in his time.'No such luck. Oh well, I have to brave the gas I suppose!' he thought as he made his way into the chamber, closing the door behind him. There was a snap as he felt bolts locking into place and a hiss as the foreign air was pumped into the room, while the natural was forced out.

Naruto suddenly felt a bout of dizziness and nausea, putting his hand against the wall to steady himself. His eyes unfocused for a brief moment, before his vision started to clear. Shaking his head to rid himself of the dizziness, he unlocked the door, and looked both ways and up. He grinned to himself when he found a vent. No matter where you went, humans, were, idiots.

Hearing rapid movement coming running through the halls, he suddenly cursed.'There must be an alarm that triggers when the gas chamber is triggered automatically!' he screamed in frenzied thought, before jumping up unscrewing the screws that held the grate to the vent with his claws, and sliding himself in. Pulling the grate up just as the first pair of weapon wielding humans turned the corner.

He cocked his head left, trying to understand what they were saying, but no such luck. It all sounded so much like jibberish to him. So without so much as a whisper, he put the screws in backwards, and moved through the vents like a ghost, looking out every grill as they passed under him. Stopping suddenly, his head lowered as he stared out the grill. Under him was a room, filled with racks and racks of clothes! With a gleeful shout, he smashed the grate off the vent and flipped down, examining the clothes. They were mostly grey, navy or green and uniform, either white or black vests, long roomy pants. Combat boots, and suddenly, his eyes had stars in them. There, folded neatly in packets of three, were boxers.

Grabbing one of the bags Naruto did all he could not to rip it open like a maniac, and proceeded to pull out no less than half a dozen of them before shoving them into the bag. Looking around, he pulled trouser out from racks that he thought to be his size of the rack, folded them, and stuck them into the bag, keeping a pair handy for him to change into, and out of these damnable handmade rags. Savoring the feeling as he dawned the boxers and pulling on a vest. Then a tactical jacket, then the pants that were far more baggy then anything he'd worn before. And considered he'd been wearing a loin cloth for the last god knows how long, that was saying something! Just as he was about to leave, he paused, before heading right back, picking out pairs for Bi, Fu, Han, Roshi and Gaara, before his hand froze, picking out another set as sizeable as Bi and Han's clothes, remembering his surprise the last time he saw Gaara. He had no idea that the once small Kazekage could get that bloody bulky.

Next on the list, he looked at the foot wear. While not the quality of shinobi sandals, these combat boots were nearly as tough. Pulling out several pairs of varying sizes, he stuffed them in the bag. With that, he jumped back up into the vent, the only signs he'd ever been there, was a plastic wrapping, many missing clothes, and a mangled vent grate. Back tracking, he was out and over the perimeter gate with no'one the wiser, heading full speed to the first and least tailed of his "siblings".

The humans would have many more visits, where they would find various articles of equipment missing.

They never knew they had a demon in their midst.

-Done-

And I'm back Lady's and Gents! I apologise or my long, long absence, but I was plagued by a nasty case of writers block. But I shall reiterate once more, I am back! And with a plethora of new story ideas and revisions. I got three new story ideas and am revising my original ideas. You've seen the devils rise and twilight shinobi, next revision to be posted will be a newer, less hole filled Kaen Arashi. So, until my next upload, Slan!
