Well, I guess some of you may be surprised— the ones who knows me at the very least— by this new project considering my rather… tastes when it comes to this kind of stories with this character.
However— I would appreciate if you hold your tongues a little bit and way for the author notes at the end of the chapter. In those notes I will explain why I decided to write this.
Chapter 1: The Goukiri Banchou meet the Wolf
"Yare yare… These guys really needs to learn a lesson of humility, dattebayo"
In a spot between two buildings, a young human male of 16 years old stared at his attackers with a deadpan look as he let out a tired sigh.
He was a young blonde man of sixteen years-old wearing his new school uniform, which consisted in a purple jacket with white pants and matching shoes, and his fists were covered in dirty bandage. His hair was spiky and messy along with electric blue eyes and tan skin, though for some reason unknown even for him, he also sported three marks on each cheek that resembled a cat's whiskers.
Around him were several thugs from different species of predators who ambushed him as he was on his way to school. The diversity in the group was palpable since there were hyenas, dogs, lionesses and even a few hippos in the gang.
'Weird… Usually animals don't bother to stick with other species that much and tends to form gangs or packs with their same species' The blond guy thought with a hint of curiosity. His suppositions weren't wrong, it was a fact that packs and gangs with mixed members of different species were not that popular.
"Ok lad, hands us all your belongings and perhaps we will let you go unscratched!" One of the hyenas bellowed mockingly as the rest of the gangs were chuckling darkly. "Keep in mind that we'd surrounded you so you cannot escape or call a cop without suffering the consequences. Now chose carefully" The canine-like animal added and he lends his hand to the blond as he waited for the boy to surrender all his possessions to him.
There was nothing a single individual like him can do in this situation, not only he was being surrounded by different kinds of animal but they were both taller and stronger than him and even if their numbers were low, a human was no match for other species.
Survival of the fittest.
That was the unspoken law that reign in the world and every-single-one follows it whatever they do so directly or indirectly. This ancient law of the animal kingdom states that the strongest and smartest are meant to rule while the weak die in the mud as worthless piece of scum.
In a world were animals and humans lived, this meant the less suited to fight— usually the humans— are seem as weaklings by others species due their status of being one of the few races with little to no real special traits save for their wits, and even then there were other creatures with similar levels of intelligence.
Sure, the human race— also known as Homo Sapiens— are not that low in the food chain but they still lack several advantages other animals have like enhanced senses, claws and fangs, tails, etc.
"Decide at once! You either give us your possessions willingly or we'll beat you up for them!" The hyena shouted as he walked closer to the blond human until they're face to face. "Well?! What is gonna be little human?!" He snarled with an animalistic growl.
"Hmm, it's no use Amaru-kun. I bet that puny human is so scared he can't even think properly" A lionesses snickered with a mocking tone.
"Yeah, he must be shitting his pants right now!" Another hyena added.
Soon enough, all the gang member were mocking the human with several kinds of pejorative nicknames and insults as if they were looking at the lowest scum in the world. A weakling with no real strength to fight back that couldn't help but paralyze in fear.
However, their amusement was thrown out of the window as the human spoke up for the first time.
"Ne~! Could you let me alone, you guys are an eyesore and I'd rather not deal with you and go to school before my social worker realize I'm late, dattebayo"
[..‼]
Needless to say, the entire gang was taken aback by the sudden respond of the blond and stay in silence as their brains processed what he just said.
"W-What did you say, you little punk?!" The male hyena snarled angrily, barely restraining his murderous aura while he stared down at the young human male.
The differences in heights were evident. The male hyena stood at the impressive 6 ft tall… And the blond guy was only 5ft 1in tall, but it seemed like this didn't bothered the human at all.
For his part, the whiskered human was completely unfazed by the aggressive behavior of the hyena and simply sighed. "Yare yare… Not only you got an ugly face but you're also deaf, huh?" The blue-eyed human muttered in annoyance while he picks the bridge of his nose. His respond, however, made some of the gang member chuckle a bit. "Listen pal, I just want to go to school without making a ruckus. My legal tutor said this was the only school willing to accept me after being kicked out of the other seventy-two prior this one… So, will you let me alone?" He explained with a dismissive wave.
"S-Seventy-two schools expelled him!" A lioness cried out in a whisper, not believing what she just heard like her peers.
"You are a funny one, aren't you?" The apparent leader— the male hyena— growled in annoyance. "You got some balls to speak to us like that but I haven't thought you're so stupid to think some bluff could made us back down"
"It's the truth though…" The blond guy replied back with a sweatdrop.
"SILENCE!" The hyena shouted angrily while he cracked his knuckles with a dark look. "TALK IS OVER! AT FIRST WE WANTED YOUR POSSESSIONS AND WOULD LEAVE YOU WITH A FEW SCRATCHS BUT I'M SICK OF YOU!"
"Well, you could always leave this place and let me be, dattebayo"
"SHUT IT!" The leader of the gang barked as he felt how his blood was burning due his rage. "You have no room to talk here, little human! Now we're gonna beat you—"
BAM!
Before the hyena could finish his speech, he was sent backwards in the air as he felt an explosive punch impacting right on his face. The leader of the gang was completely unable to block and much less avoid the fist until it was too late and blood quickly left his mouth as several teeth flew in the air, his eyes were blank, a clear indication he was knocked out.
THUD
With a hollow noise, the body of the hyena fell on the cement floor like a lifeless corpse. The only clue they have he was alive was the sound of his breath otherwise they would think he was dead.
"He talks too much" And the one who did this was the human no less!
"The heck?!"
"What the…?!"
"I didn't see him move!"
"Me neither, it's like his very movements has the speed of sound!"
"Hey hey! Are we sure this one is even a human?!"
Naturally, the former composed and intimidating gang was now a mess when they witnessed their boss being handed by a human boy with only one punch casually aimed at his chin. A single move and yet no one was able to tell when he made such attack.
Staring at the consciousness leader on the floor, the blond guy sighed. "Yare yare… I wonder if he's alright, dattebayo" He muttered with some concern in his voice. However, that glint of concern was replaced by a steel-like glare as the young man turned his gaze to the gang. "I recommend you to leave this place and take that asshole to a hospital, but if you are still willing to fight then so be it… However, I warn you that I will not hold back even if some of you are females!" He said with a deep voice full of authority and confident that sent chills to the backs of several thugs… Oddly enough, this also aroused the female hyenas and lionesses alike since they stared at the whiskered human with blushed faces.
"D-Don't you dare to look us down, you bratty human! We will avenge our boss and kick your ass!" One of the hippopotamus declared as he took a step.
"Is that so…?"
CHILLS~
Then— a frightening feeling ran through everyone's spines. It was sudden and unexpected, but anyone could tell the temperature of the zone drops several degrees out of blue as the entire gang felt a murderous aura hundredth of times larger than the leader's.
And the source of the dreadful presence was the young male human… Who was giving them a bloodthirsty grin and they could've sworn his eyes turned red-crimson for an instant.
"Then let's dance!" The blond human bellowed viciously.
It was in that moment that the entire gang realized something terrifying. Not only was this human much stronger than they've thought initially but also a lot more battle-vicious.
They didn't trap the human, they were trapped with him.
"HN!" The blond teen suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight as a gentle breeze followed it.
In that very moment Hell fell on Earth.
"Where is him?!" One of the hippopotamus shouted in fright as he looked at all places in search for the blonde human.
"I-I don't know! He just disappeared!" A random lioness responded with a fearful look.
"Then don't stay here doing nothing! Get the others and find that motherfu—!"
"Surprise!"
In that very instant the blond guy appeared right on the large mammalian face and cocked his fist backwards as he show a frightening smirk. The poor hippopotamus's face met a high-speed punch, he was completely unable to see what hit him.
BAM!
"GAACK!"
The large thug was stamped on the wall, creating a hippo-shaped crater with his silhouette.
"TAIKI-SAN!" A random dog cried the name of his comrade.
"Heh! Well, that was a freebie…" A male voice muttered right behind the canine, which was the whiskered human.
"Huh?!" Rapidly, the dog turned his gaze to his back as he tried to defend himself but the only thing his eyes met was a foot planting itself on his face and was blew up to the other side of the back alley like a ragdoll.
"With him, I got three thugs down… Let's continue!" The blonde human shouted with a beast-like grin.
15 Second Later
"Huh, you guys actually past the 15 seconds unlike other gangs I met before" The boy had a feral grin, showing sharper-than-normal teeth, and congratulated the gang members as he passed over their bodies.
Some of the gang members were lying on the floor, others were stamped on the walls creating small craters with their figures and some were inside the garbage bins.
"J-Just who the hell are you?" A male hyena grunted as he tried miserably to stand.
The whiskered warrior just looked at the hyena with a toothy grin as he crossed his arms with some air of pride. "Well, I have several names like 'The Red Oni', 'Beastman', etc., but you can call me Uzumaki Naruto!" He answered with a toothy grin.
Several Minutes Later
Seton Private Academy, a school for animals, where all sorts of animals live together. This institute is also known for being a scared cage where constant battles between species forest a spirit of survival of the fittest in all students.
It was a school where the weak ones are usually stomped and looked down by the strong ones… And this same school was also were our protagonist attend to.
"Huh, what an interesting sight" Naruto mussed with a grin as a sweat-drop ran through his neck. In front of him, the crowd of students— the freshmen specially— were making a ruckus as they enter the schoolyard and started behaving like… Well, animals.
Looking around it was extremely easy to identify the female students from the male ones for obvious reasons. He always wondered why the males didn't look too different from their ancestors while the females were way too similar to human females but with animal traits.
In any case, Naruto could see that things were rapidly scaling worst when he saw how several carnivores mammalians were about to wreck havoc due their primal instincts telling them to assert dominance over others.
"Well shit… Where is a teacher when you need it?" The blue-eyed human wondered aloud as he began to pray for someone to stop this testosterone contest.
"HEY, BRATS!"
And lo and behold, his prayers were answered in the form of a powerful voice that caused the gust of wind attracted everyone's attention. A rather impressive feat though it wasn't something other species like lions couldn't do too… But the person we're talking about was not even a mammal.
In front of all the students was a red Tyrannosaurus Rex about the size of a camion, wearing a long-sleeved white shirt with a black tie and trousers. In this Seton Private Academy he has been called as Terano-sensei by everyone.
'Here is our teacher?!' The blonde teen thought in shock as he stared at the towering reptile.
Another funny fact about this world is that dinosaurs are still living and kicking, and they also evolved like mammals.
"All right, brats..." He said and then furiously wrinkles all the students. "Line up, or I'll eat every last one of you!" The Apex-predator growled with his menacing voice as he glared at the teens.
Obviously everyone obeyed without disobeying and they all lined up in order. Sure, they were some students (mostly young lions and tigers) whose prides were damaged but who in their right mind would discuss with a friggin DINOSAUR?!
"I wonder how strong I need to punch him to knock him out" The blonde human wondered aloud, earning several stares from his peers due his sudden statement while others simply thought he must be a mad man.
Then the Tyrannosaurus continued speaking. "Now, the headmaster would like to address all the new students. Headmaster, if you please" Then he gave the floor for Anomalocaris which at school can be called as Amano-sensei.
"Well, everyone, today is—ARGH!" Failing to finish the words, the aquatic animal suddenly fell on the ground when his aquarium broke in pieces for some reasons.
"Headmaster!"Terano-sensei screamed in shock at the fish-like animal, who was now laying in the ground motionless.
Animal Facts: If an Anomalocaris is thrown into the mainland without water they lose strength and die!
"Well, that's a bummer" The male human muttered with a deadpan look at the pathetic way this headmaster was introduced.
"W-Water! Water!" The anomalocaris shouted as he tried ask for help until he accidentally jumped hitting a wolf girl in the face.
"Ow!" The wolf girl fell on her back in pain.
"You, child... Water... Please fetch some water!" The Headmaster noticed her and began to ask for help since she was the closest being in his reach. Surely, a fine young woman like would be kind enough help him—
Unfortunately for him, the wolf girl looks very angry with an X-shaped patch on her nose.
CHOMP!
"Aaargh!" Then she bit the headmaster by running around holding it over her mouth.
"Why?!" The poor aquatic animal asked why she did this to him while everyone else just stared at the scene with huge sweatdrops, not very sure how to react.
"Don't fetch me! I asked you to fetch water!"
'Ok, even I can tell this is somewhat hilarious but come on, he is the goddamn Headmaster. With the way he looks and acts, I can't help but feel pity for him' The blonde human thought with a deadpan look.
"No! Stop!" Headmaster begged the wolf girl to leave him. "Oh, I'm done for!"
'Don't tell me we have to watch for a full hours after this school ceremony!' Naruto wondered internally as he watched the scene with comical rage.
Something tells him this is gonna be a rather bizarre start for him.
Student Cafeteria
The day after the first batch of classes had come and gone, Lunch had finally arrived and our young protagonist was met with an unusual dilemma at hands.
"… Really?"
Standing at the front of the lunch line he was kicking himself for forgetting that this school wouldn't have a typical cafeteria as he was faced with a few options such as grass or insects. With everyone behind him complaining that he was holding up the line the whiskered young man went with what he thought was the best option and left with a plate of raw meat.
He clicked the receipt and went towards the seller who is a gorilla with a vedre shirt, a white hat and a white apron.
"Yo, Gorilla-man! I'll take raw meat but I would like it to be cooked" He asked with a grin.
The seller, for his part, simply stared at the young male with a blank look. "Cook it? Why do you want it cooked?" The gorilla asked tilting his head in confusion.
"I think that should be obvious" The whiskered human replied with a twitching eyebrow but restraining his urge to shout at the seller's stupidity.
"Why? I don't know much about cats but I know you females also eat raw meat and fish" The seller questioned without noticing the effects his words would made on the teen
The respond he got? Let's just say Naruto snapped in a rather colorful manner.
GRIP!
The human, with a smile still placed on his face, simply took the metal bar next to the gorilla's face and quickly dented it in unnatural ways with his grip. Needless to say, the primate-type mammal and the few students close enough to the scene were shocked beyond words
"ARE YOU BLIND OR WHAT?! DON'T YOU SEE I'M HUMAN AND A HOT-BLOODED MALE?!" Naruto roared like a beast while the poor gorilla couldn't help but shrink in fear. Not only this dumb seller didn't know he was clearly a human but he also thought he was a girl.
"Ah… S-Sorry! My bad!"
After a few minutes his order had arrived, a cooked meat that prehistoric humans ate. Pretty simplistic but he wasn't going to refute the gorilla cooking skills. He simply thanked the scared gorilla and took the plate and decided to take a place to eat.
Spotting an unused table off in the corner Naruto quickly made his way over to it. Taking a seat the blond was about to come up with a way to eat his food without gagging when he noticed he wasn't alone.
"What the…"
Sitting on the other side of the table was a rather small girl with pinkish silver hair with wolf ears poking out of the top of her head and a fluffy and equally pink wolf tail. In her hands she held a nearly picked clean bone as she stared at the blond, surprised to see him sitting there.
[…]
Needless to say, the interaction between the two was awkward, neither of them didn't expect the appearance of the other. But soon enough, the petite girl was the first one to react… And her reaction wasn't a nice one.
"GRRRRRRRR!" Feeling threatened by the boy's sudden appearance the girl then hopped up onto the table, getting on all fours and growling at the blond.
Giving the girl a weird look, Naruto figured it would be best to just ignore her. He wouldn't pick a fight with her and it wasn't like there was another table for him to move anyway.
For her part, when the girl realized boy wasn't interested in her food she felt more relieved but—
STAAAAAAREEEEEEEEEE~!
"Hmmm…" She was still wary of his presence and couldn't help but stare at him as she got back in her chair and went back to eating.
'This is so awkward, dattebayo!' Naruto thought with a sweatdrop running through his head. However, in this kind of situation he knew what he must do so he slid his plate over to her. "Here, I'm not hungry" Naruto told her as he handed her his meal in hopes of making her feel easy with his presence.
"Agh~!" His strategy turned out to be a huge success when the petite wolf girl's face lit up and drool started flowing out of her mouth. Seeing her shoves her face into the slab of meat and messily dig into it brought a small smile on his lips.
'At least she no longer sees me as a threat' The blond thought as he closed his eyes and let out a small sigh.
"Fuuuu~ Alright then, understood!" the girl said as the sound of her getting onto the table again caught his ear. Opening his eyes, Naruto saw the girl standing proudly with her arms folded over her chest and her fluffy tail quickly wagging back and forth behind her. "I got it~! You want into my pack in exchange for that food right?!" the girl declared proudly with a toothy grin.
"Wait what?!" Naruto couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock. In what moment he said that?! This girl misunderstood his real intentions. "Hey, hey! What the heck are you talkin' about?! I didn't mean it like that 'ttebayo!"
"Okay, you're in! But of course I'm the leader!"
"ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?!"
"I am the great wolf Lanka! The proud wolf leader!" Lanka introduced herself with a very bright expression.
For a moment, Naruto face turned into one of confusion. "Hold on, you're a wolf? I thought you were dog" He said with surprise, quickly missing the point of the conversation due the fact his self-proclaimed "leader" was a wolf.
"I'M A WOLF!" The pinkette snapped back with humorous anger.
"If you say so"
Hopping of the table Lanka began o run on all fours calling back to the blond "Well, it doesn't matter right now. I'll show you around my territory right away, so come on!" However, when she noticed he wasn't following her she ran right back. "Why aren't you coming? The leaders orders are absolute you know?" Lanka asked him as she energetically moved around his chair. "Hey hey hey! Are you ignoring me?! Your leader is talking to you!"
"No"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY"NO"?!" The wolf girl cried out as she tried to assert her dominance over her obvious superior. The little girl rambling was turning annoying as she continued talking nonsense and Naruto's patience was reaching its limits—
CHOMP!
And then the wolf girl bit his leg!
"The heck is your problem, you dumb wolf?!" Naruto yelled at the petite girl.
"You're ignoring me!" Lanka snapped back with a (cute) pout.
"Well duh! I never said I wanted to form a pack with you!" Naruto replied with a deadpan look as he stopped the girl before she could bite another of his limbs by clasping a hand on top of her head. "Look, Lamish—!"
"It's Lanka!"
"Right… It's nice to hear that you want me to be in your pack. But the thing is I DON'T form packs with anyone, and I'd rather die than become the second in command!" Naruto glared at the wolf girl with an offended look. "Unless you want me to be the boss, you and I have no business to talk so piss off!"
"Agh! Are you challenging me?! I guess I will have to discipline you!" Lanka shouted in shock and rage as she prepared herself to fight. "I will show why I'm the Alpha here!" She added, showing her fangs while growling in challenge.
"…" Naurto couldn't help but stare at the young wolf girl with a blank look as his brain processed what she just said. He honestly didn't expect her to be so serious about the whole pack business, and it was even more surprising that she challenge him. However… "Pffft! Plea~se! Now that is funny, girlie! You would die if you fight me head on. Heck, surviving would be quite a feat as matter of fact" The blond human snickered, trying (and failing miserably) to conceal his laugh.
"HAH?! How dare you—?!" Lanka was gonna reply but then an idea floured in her brain. She gave Naruto a mischievous look, which unnerved him to no end, and spoke up. "Aha! I see what you're trying to do!" She said while moving closer to him… A bit too close for his tastes.
"Huh?" Naruto couldn't help but raised an eyebrow in confusion. Now what she was gonna said?
"It's obvious that you want to be my mate and form a pack with me! I mean that's obvious since you haven't laid your eyes on any female but me as matter of fact, and you choose to sit next to me and gave me your meal in an attempt to get closer to me!" Lanka explained with a proud smile at her deduction skills while holding a blush on her cheeks.
Naruto for his part…
"What?" His only respond was a dull look.
"Now then… I admit that I wasn't expecting a human of all being to propose me but you are not bad looking… And your alpha smell is rather intoxicating" In that moment Lanka, in a rather bold move, placed herself in his lap and moved her face closer to his' as she tried to appear assertive and seductive even though her shy expression was ruining her moment.
"Oi oi! What the heck are you trying to do?!"
"Don't have to play rude with me, I already accepted you as my mate! Now we can indulge ourselves in mating!" Lanka replied with a shy look. "We will have to wait a few months for me to be in heat though"
"… WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SAYING?!" At this point Naruto couldn't take more of this nonsense. He quickly took the neck of the girl's uniform to made some distance and threw her on the other end of the table.
"Hey, what was that for!" Lanka cried out as she rubs her head in slight pain.
"Woman, you just said you're gonna rape me! What the fuck did you expected?!" The blue-eyed human shot back with sharp teeth and white eyes.
It seemed like Lanka was going to make a retort but both hers and Naruto's attention was drawn by a new voice calling out to the blond.
"Excuse me"
[Huh?]
Both Naruto and Lanka turned their heads to see a teenage human girl with brown eyes and matching eyes and a rather developed body for her age. Like Lanka, she was using the female school uniform.
This girl was Hitomi, the only human student at this school aside from Naruto. She was a rather cute girl who was in Naruto's homeroom. "Can I sit here?" the girl asked as she pulled out a chair.
As a gentleman, the whiskered teen wasn't gonna blow her away since. She was being polite with them and she was rather quite. "Sure, I don't mind if yo—What the heck Lanka?!" He was gonna let her stay but in the instant the resident wolf butted in with a much different reaction.
"If you want to steal my male you'll have to fight for him, human female!" Lanka growled out as she put herself between Hitomi and Naruto.
"SINCE WHEN I'M YOUR MATE?!" Naruto asked with hilarious rage. Seriously, what's with this wolf and her antics?!
"Um, well then…" Hitomi began as she slowly backed up as Naruto desperately tried to both tell Lanka off for acting like this and convincing Hitomi to stay. "I guess I should be going!" After a few failed stutters Hitomi quickly apologized before taking off her plate running to other direction.
"Hah! Take that, you male stealer!" The wolf shouted with an air of superiority at her "victory".
"…" Naruto stared at her with dead-fish eyes as he thought how in ended up in this situation.
Hours Later
The time passed and classes finally met an end for this day, and our young protagonist was grateful for that as he walked through the streets to find the building where the students' room where.
Since Seton Private Academy was a boarding school all of the students lived in the campus dormitories, Naruto has to spend most of the afternoon figuring out where was located the goddamn residential building because some douchebag forgot to tell him its exact location and now he, with a ridiculously three meter tall pack on his bag, had to find it by him own.
"Stupid Student Council" He muttered with dismay. Closing his eyes he once more thought about what happened earlier, those events still haunt him and he couldn't help but grunt in annoyance.
Sure, he could always dismiss what happened back in the cafeteria and continue with his school life… If it wasn't for the fact that Lanka was next to him trying to convince him to form a pack, and it was worst considering she now wanted to form a pack rather than a pack.
"You shouldn't have miss the Student Council's instructions!" he silver haired wolf loudly proclaimed as she stood before the group with her arms folded over her chest and with a confident expression.
For a long few moments Naruto just stared at the wolf girl with an unreadable expression. "Why are you still following me?"
"Why? Because it's a leader's duty to take care of her packmates' well-being!" Lanka explained in an as-matter-of-fact manner, much to Naruto's dismay.
Naruto's patience finally reached its boiling point at this respond and frankly, he would've shot down the girl with one sassy remark but he kept his temper in check this time. It was clear that the girl has no ill intent at all and at least he made her forget the whole mate thing so he will let her be… For now.
True be told, the company of the girl was somewhat refreshing though he wasn't gonna said it aloud.
Letting out a tired sigh, Naruto decided to make some use of the girl. "Listen Lanka, rather than following me like a lost puppy you could at least tell me where the residential building is located" He told her with a neutral look.
"Ah, I can do that" She agreed with a dismissive shrug while still holding her usual cheerfulness. "We need to turn around though"
"… Why?" The blonde couldn't help but ask and for some reason he has the gut feeling that the answer will annoy him.
"Because we left the school grounds 30 minutes ago"
"… You got to be kidding me!" Naruto cursed his luck for missing that little detail, though... "And why didn't you tell?" He was more irritated by the fact that Lanka already knew what was happening and she didn't tell him.
Lanka simply scratched her cheek with a nervous smile as the whole weight of Naruto's glare fell on her. "W-Well, I just thought you wanted to explore the city since you mentioned this was your first time here after a long time and as a good leader takes in consideration my underlings' unfinished business—Guagh!" She couldn't finish her speech when she felt both her cheeks being pulled by Naruto, who was holding a deadpan look along with a twitching eyebrow.
"You really are a dumb wolf, aren't you?! And for the last time, I'm NOT part of your pack!"
"Owie~! Yhou dhon't havhe to be sho mean!" Lanka said between groans of pains.
"Ok, that's it. You're on your own" Naruto realized she wasn't even listening to his demands and quickly freed her from his grasp and began to walk away.
Lanka still followed him though.
'Honestly, this girl only cause troubles' Naruto huffed in annoyance, he has enough of this so he decided to walk a bit faster… And by a bit I mean he was practically running like a leopard if not for his body language.
"H-Hey, wait for me!" The petite wolf girl shouted as she ran in order to keep up with the blonde guy. It was a futile attempt because Naruto seemed to be faster than a wolf and she was left in the dust after a few minutes. And when the wolf girl realized she lost the tracks of the teen, she pouted with annoyance. "Mou~! She is way too mean! He got some nerve to abandon his leader like that!" She stomped her foot on the pavement floor several times as her tail swung erratically. Heck, she couldn't even perceive his aroma!
What she didn't realize was that Naruto was closer than she though.
"I had to thank the Old man Hanzo for teaching that scent concealing trick otherwise she would've found me" Standing on the roof of a building was no other than Naruto, sitting on his knees as he stared down where the female wolf was. "I feel a bit like an asshole for leaving her like that but she was unnerving me" He muttered with a grimace before sighing in exasperation. "Well, it can't be helped… With some luck I will not see her again" With that said, he stood up preparing to leave the area.
However, in that moment he heard the sound of someone crying… No, it was the sound of someone trying to suppress his/her tears. And when he turned his gaze to the ground he found the source, it was Lanka.
"I think… I should've never approached to him… in the first place" The lonely wolf muttered as she tried to act tough, but the tears forming in her eyes were a dead giveaway of what her real feelings were. "It's just like everyone else… No one even tries to be friends with me" She said with sniffs.
'Ugh… Dumb wolf' Naruto was many things, several of them weren't exactly good ones, but he was not an abominable person. The fact that the ever cheerful wolf girl was crying is something hard to take, even more so when he was the one who made her cry.
"Oho~! What we got here?"
'Oh fuck no!' Naruto's eyes widened when he recognized a strange figure appearing behind Lanka.
The petite wolf's ears twitched at the foreigner voice and she turned her gaze to see the person who spoke.
Behind the wolf girl was none other than the male hyena who received a humiliating defeat from Naruto before classes began... And from what the blond could tell, he was pissed off even though his dark smile masked his feelings. Not only that, he was accompanied by more thugs than Naruto thought.
"Looks like we found ourselves a nice little wolf. Don't you think, guys?" The gang member boasted as he approached the paralyzed Lanka, who was unable to move since it was surrounded by different predators and all of them not only exceeded it in size but in strength and number.
However, she did not show her fear and kept her cool as best she could by adopting a poker face. "Who are you? What do you want?" She asked with disdain.
Hearing the bold respond of their prey, the hyena couldn't help but snicker a little. "Wild little girl, aren't you?" The leader chuckled darkly as a glint of ill-intent appeared in his eyes. "True be told, I want a lot of things; a harem, respect, power… You know, the usual things a male want. However—!" In that moment the canine-like mammal held lanka by the neck and lifted her off the ground. "An interesting news brought my attention to this shitty school! I heard there is one human, a male with blond hair and whisker who got recently accepted here!" He growled as he put more pressure on his grip. "That blondy bastard had to pay for what he's done with me! Tell where is him and I might let you go girlie, otherwise I'd have to use… Other methods to bring him to me!" The hyena shouted angrily.
"Ghh! W-What do you… Want of him?!" Lanka panted as she tried to breath under the heavy grip of the tall hyena.
"That's none of you goddamn business, bitch!" The leader snapped as he threw the girl to the wall. "I merely want his location so spill it out before my temper explodes!" The male hyena bellowed with rage.
"P-Piss off!" Lanka shouted with an animalistic growl as she held her stomach while trying to stand up despite the hard hit she received.
"… The fuck did you said?" The leader of the gang muttered with a pissed off look.
"I said, piss off! I won't say anything to you, you jerks!" Lanka kept her grounds despite the clear differences between her and the canine-like predator. "Naruto-san is my packmate and I will never betray his trust on me as his leader!" She proclaimed with defiance.
To say that the gang was speechless would be an understatement, and to be fair they actually thought the girl has guts for challenging their boss' authority. Heck, even Naruto couldn't help but look at the girl in a new light… But was caught them completely off guard was the wolf girl's statement.
"A human and a wolf making a pack, you say?! How preposterous!" After staying in silence for a long minute, the leader bursts in laughs at the very prospect. "This has to be the dumbest shit I'd ever heard in my life! I didn't take that bastard to has this tastes in females!" He chuckled in humor as he wiped out a small tear running through his eye. "But I guess that make sense. A pathetic mate for an equally pathetic male!"
Lanka hissed at that comment. "How dare you to say that about him! Naruto-san is cool and I know he's thousands of times a better mate than most of you! He may look and acts mean to most people but he is a good person at heart!" She declared angrily.
"Hoh~? Now that's interesting since I heard a lot of things about this Uzumaki Naruto, who is also known as the dreadful Goukiri Banchou, and most of them are not exactly good things!" The hyena crossed his arms and looked down at the girl with a mocking smirk. "Did you know he was expelled from several schools throughout the country due his tendency to break havoc?" The hyena asked with curiosity with a huff. "That guy is more a freaking monster than a human from what I heard, it's not like that is gonna save him from the beating we will dealt to him though— But I'm curious now so tell us what do a pathetic little girl like you see in him?"
'Damn motherfucker' Naruto clenched his fists and teeth in fury at the way that jerk was talking to Lanka.
"…" Lanka was silent for a few moments and let out a brief sigh as he looked down, which made the leader's evil smile broaden but his smile disappeared when the girl looked up and looked him straight in the eyes with a fierce, protective gaze. "I admit I'm very smart or good looking, and I even admit I may lack some skills I leader needs … But when I see him, I don't see a monster like you claim but rather a lonely guy. A see a person that yearns for a person to be on his side, someone who could see him like a person and not a troublemaking beast" She said with a fiery look that actually made the leader of the gang take a step back. "Sure, he can be very mean with me but I know that deep down he is only a guy looking for people who cares for him, and I want him to know I care for him and will be there to help him no matter how dire his situation is… BECAUSE WE ARE PACKMATES!"
[…‼]
All the gang member genuinely speechless at the way the girl talked. Her determination and views were things to admire.
"It may be tough because our differences but… I think it possible! Not only for him to find friend! I want to make a pack where all kind of beings can find a home and family!" Lanka shouted with all her might.
"Dumb wolf…" Naruto, who was still in the roof, was touched by her statement. Her speech was impressive.
"Hehe…"
However, there was one person in the group that didn't have the same thoughts.
"That's… That's what you really think?" The male hyena snickered quietly as he walked forward to the girl's direction, with his hair masking his eyes. "Your babblings are amusing, I'll give you that much… But to think that you actually have such a mindset is… ANNOYING!" He bellowed as he looked at the girl with fury, and Lanka was stunned at the amount of bloodlust the glare of the hyena was letting out. "A place to call home you said?! A family you said?!" His breath became more and more unstable as he took a metal bat from one of his men. "LITTLE SHITS WITH SUCH A NAÏVE MINDSET ANNOYS ME TO NO END!"
Time seemed to run in slow motion as everyone watched the gang leader raise the bat over his head and suddenly swing it down to crush the little girl, even several of the gang members held their breath and widened their eyes to the hyena's actions.
Lanka, on the other hand, could only remain in place completely paralyzed as she watched the metal object descend and instinctively closed her eyes in anticipation of the blunt blow.
But the blow never came—
CLANK!
"W-What the—?!"
Instead, Lanka heard the frightened voice of the hyena and a thud. She opened her eyes a little to see what was happening and when she did, she couldn't help but widen them in shock when she saw Naruto standing in front of her with his arm outstretched.
(Shingeki no Kyojin OST – Eren the Coordinate)
"Yare Yare Daze… You are an annoying wolf, Lanka"
The blond boy had appeared at the last minute and blocked the blow using his own arm as a shield to protect the pink haired girl... And on impact with his limb, the bat was badly dented.
"Y-You?! What are you doing here?!" The Hyena shouted in shock as he casted aside the dented object.
Naruto simply stared back a him with an scold and let out a tired sigh. "Why do you think?" He muttered with a serious look as he stomped the ground creating a small tremor. "I'm here to defend my packmate so piss off!" He roared strong enough to create gust of winds out of his sheer voice alone.
"N-Naruto-san…!" Lanka widened her eyes when she heard him and small tears began to form in her eyes.
The blond gave her a quick look over his shoulder. "Huh, you're alright. That's good to know dattebayo" He said dismissively before turning his gaze to the gang, this time with frighteningly calm look. "Don't worry, this wouldn't take long. I'll make this bastard pay for making you cried!" He stated with a firm tone, which shocked the girl by his blunt statement as a blush adorned her cheeks.
"You motherfucker! Don't you dare to act high and mighty! We are more than you two and this time we're prepared!" The leader shouted as he pulled a tantō out of his jacket and the rest of the gang did the same, showing different kinds of blunt and bladed weapons, though they're rather rustic.
"Plea~se! If you didn't last a whole minute against me barehanded, what make you think you can take me on now?" Naruto found the sight humoristic and chuckled a little before he suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight and reappeared in front of the leader and head-butted him, sending him to the ground while he held his now bloodied snout. "JUST WHO THE HECK DO YOU THINK I AM?! I'M THE AKA ONI, THE GOUKIRI BANCHOU! UZUMAKI NARTO" The blond delinquent shouted with a death glare.
"Argh! My snout!" The hyena moaned in pain as his tried his best to stop bleeding. "Don't stay there like fucking statues and get him!" He ordered to the thugs.
The orders made the rest of the thugs snap and quickly took their weapons and charged at the blond guy, who only spared a quick glance at them without batting an eyelid
"NARUTO-SAN!" Lanka cried as she saw all the thugs literally falling into her packmate.
"Will you shut up?! These guys are just small fries!"
In that moment the ground exploded.
THOOOM!
Just before the thugs could get close to the blonde, he hit the ground with a powerful punch creating a shockwave that sent the huge group of gang members flying like flies, even Lanka was not able to stand and had to hold on to a light pole to avoid flying away and closed her eyes to avoid being blinded by the smoke screen that followed the sonic boom.
When the dust dissipated, the wolf girl watched in awe as the blond man stopped at a small 5 feet crater completely unharmed while he watched with his arms crossed as several gang members tried to recover from the violent shock. Several of them were on the ground, some had hit the buildings while others were completely unconscious on the ground.
"That's all you got? How boring" Naruto scolded with annoying.
(Shingeki no Kyojin OST – Eren the Coordinate - END)
"K-KYA!"
In that moment he shot his eyes wide open when he heard Lanka's voice and shifted his attention to the wolf girl, and right there he saw Lanka being held as a host by the leader of the gang.
"Not so tough now, huh?" The hyena has several cuts on his face and his mouth lacked a few teeth, possibly due the beating Naruto gave him prior this meeting. But despite his deplorable state, he still has a mocking smirk on his ugly face as he held Lanla by the neck of her uniform pressing a knife on her cheek. "Now who is the big shot now?!"
"Dammit!" Naruto just cursed himself for being too careless, if he didn't take so long then he could've avoid this situation.
"Hehehe…! Now listen here little human! Now I'm the master here, you heard me?! If you try anything funny I will slice this little wolf's pretty face!" The battered gang leader shouted viciously.
Naruto just clenched his teeth and growled with hatred at the hyena but kept his temper in check as he nodded.
"Good, good! Now be a good boy and stay where you are 'till I escape from here!" The hyena said as he began to take step after step backwards. "And I'll have you know, I'm gonna take this girl with me just in case you decide to chase after me! Who knows, if she is good enough I may have a good time with he— ARGH!" When the leader of the thug was about to continue with his speech, he was suddenly interrupted by the last person he saw as a threat.
CHOMP!
Animal Facts: Like several canine-like mammals in the animal kingdom, the wolves are known not only by their intelligence and strategies at hunting in large numbers but by the power of their bites.
Wolves have powerful jaws which surpass their cousins, the dogs, and it's said that a wolf's normal bite force is over 1,200 pounds when they defend themselves, though this number is usually from large wolves.
"Well, it looks like she didn't need my help" Naruto sighed in relieve as he saw how his wolf friend freed herself using her jaws. It was rather primitive but it did the trick smoothly, the fact that Lanka herself has a strong bite was something not to be underestimated.
"You fucking bitch!" The hyena held his bleeding hand tightly and glared at Lanka.
"That's what you got for pissing off a proud wolf like me! Haven't you heard that if you mess with a wolf, it will give you the fangs!" The pinkette wolf barked back at him with an air of superiority.
"Damn you…!" The leader of the thugs yelled in fury as he took the knife with his other hand and dashed forward to kill the girl, but he suddenly stopped when he felt something gripping his shoulder. "Ghiii!" He screeched as he saw Naruto looking at him with a dead glare.
"So… What was that about being the big shot here?" The blond said with a dark smirk and a menacing aura surrounding his body.
"Ahh-Ahhh!" The poor hyena was so scared that he couldn't pronounce a single word.
"JUST LEAVE THIS PLACE! YOUR FACE IS ANNOYING ME!"
BAM!
"GRUAAAAGH!"
Naruto had enough of this and punch the leader of the gang right on his face with such an unnatural strength that the hyena rocketed to the sky like a shooting sky until he was lost in the horizon. Dropping his hands back down to his sides, Naruto let out a sigh of relief that no one got hurt… Though if he was being honest he was also a bit disappointment, a fight like that wouldn't even serve as a warm up for him.
His attention was quickly diverted from them to a silver ball bouncing around his legs. "That was amazing! I didn't even know humans could be that strong!" Lanka said among other things as she happily bounced around the blond, her tail wagging in joy.
"Hehe, really?" Naruto asked with an imperceptible blush on his face but he quickly recovered his cool as he show a cocky smirk. "I mean, of course I'm strong! I'm that awesome!" Even if the fight was lame, this felt pretty good. As this went on an old thought crossed his mind. 'Huh, this reminds me of something that happened when I was a little kid' He thought with a sense of nostalgia as he gazed at the jumping wolf who tried to copy his fighting moves cheerfully. 'Now that I think about it, she kinda looks familiar…'
The Next Day
"So, I take everything is alright with you" Naruto asked Lanka as he sat down at the same table as her. Her surprise at seeing him there again was quickly overtaken by a sense of melancholy at his question.
"Yeah, those jerk didn't try anything on me… But I guess that now that they're out of picture you wouldn't want to stick with me. You don't have to be with me out of pity" Lanka's ear dropped and she turned her head to the side.
"Huh?" Naruto just stared at the girl with a conflicted look as he tried to think on his next move. True be told she had been annoying at the beginning but at this point he didn't mind her antics anymore. Plus she said she wanted to make friend with different species and made a good speech even though she didn't know he heard her. "Hey…!" Naruto began as he leaned in ever so slightly. "Is the option to join your pack still there?" the blond asked, smiling as he saw Lanka's mood turn right around.
With a surprised gasp the silver haired girl jerked her head around to stare at the blond, drool pooling out of her mouth in her excitement. Making an attempt to tamper her reaction the girl turned her head to the side as she said "I guess I can let you join" Though despite her moderately controlled voice and reduced drool she still had an excited blush covering her cheeks and her tail was still waving happily behind her.
"So, what's your name?" Lanka asked the boy.
"It's Uzumaki Naruto… I thought you already knew that" The blond told her, giving her an odd look as she climbed up onto the table. "What are you doing?" Naruto asked as she looked him in the eyes while standing on her hands and knees.
"Well you want to join my pack right?" Lanka asked. "So I have to welcome you, Naruto!" the silver furred wolf told him before reaching out to cup his cheeks and leaning in to kiss him. In his shock Naruto fell backward, resulting in his back landing on the floor as Lanka straddled his chest and licked his face.
For dogs and wolfs the act of licking an others face is a form of communication. Some of the times this action can be seen include welcoming a new member of te pack, and also when dealing with the highest ranking male. It can represent the utmost affection, as well as submission among other things. It's also a male and female wolf that become a pair will spend their whole lives together.
After thoroughly coating Naruto's face in saliva Lanka sat up on his chest, the index and middle fingers of her right hand pressed up to her lips as she. "But! I'm the leader" Lanka told the blond as Naruto resisted the urge to immediately wipe his face clean.
"Sure, whatever you say" Naruto rolled his eyes dismissively, but he still smiled at her. 'You will have your moment, Lanka, but soon enough you will learn no one controls me' He thought with a challenging smirk.

Author Notes: Well, that's all for now folks! This was the first chapter of this new fic and I hope you like it.
Now, before you can say (or rather write) I would like to say a few things beforehand. You see, at first I didn't want to write this story because I had seen several crossovers between Naruto x [Insert Series Name Here], and most crossovers didn't met my expectations even though they held some potential.
It wasn't until I had a little chat with one of my friend back in the college that I got the impulse and inspiration to write this fic. And as you can see, things are quickly getting out of hands in an spectacular way.
You can say this Naruto is different from most of his other "counterparts" in the Fanfic Omniverse, and the powers he has and will develop are also slightly different from the rest of them. Heck, he doesn't even have the same origins. This Naruto is 100% from Murenasai! Shiiton Gakuen universe… Albeit this story with has some elements from other series.
I can't say I will add some other character from the Naruto-Verse here but that doesn't mean I would not do so. If anything, they will be counterparts of this universe like our knuckleheaded protagonist… Although there is always the possibility that I could change my mind.
Without anything else to add, a bid you farewell!
