Naruto tamers ch.3

Naruto opened his eyes and saw he was in the middle of a dessert. He looked around and remembered last night's events, wondering where Renamon was. He looked down and saw a note addressed to him.

Dear Naruto,

I'm sorry I can't be with you at the moment, but it seems I've found a tamer, so you'll have to be on your own from now on, sorry. There is a town west of here that you can rest up in, after you do that, see if you can get up to the globe to the real world, where I'm sure we'll meet again. See you then!

Renamon.

He looked at the compass she had drawn in the dirt and headed to where it indicated west, stuffing the note in his pocket. He walked for half an hour before seeing the town she mentioned in the distance. He ran toward it and arrived in three minutes.

There were two guards that looked like big clunky robots outside, so he slowed down in an attempt to look friendly. When he approached, they raised their arms. "Halt! State your business here." Naruto tried to look innocent. "I'm just looking for a place to rest, and this was the closest town I could find." The guards were a bit wary, but let him through after being persuaded to do so.

"Whoa." Was the only thing he could say as he looked around at all the various digimon of various shapes and sizes. He mostly saw wolfish dinos, big wolves, and werewolves, and he even saw a wolf mech flying overhead.

"First time in garuru city?" someone asked from behind. He turned and saw one of the wolfish dinos. "Yeah, why?" he asked. "Oh nothing, It's just I've never seen someone like you; I'm gabumon by the way, but I prefer jack if you don't mind." Naruto nodded. "Naruto is the name, nice to meet you jack." Jack smiled and was about to say something when a commotion was heard nearby. Naruto looked at jack before turning to investigate.

"Viral scum! Go back to the hole you crawled out of, or go delete yourself!" was heard. Naruto frowned as he pushed though the crowd to find a blackish-gray version of the werewolves he saw earlier being beat up on by the blue ones. He looked at the black ones' eyes and saw tears and fear there.

"why?" the black wolf asked. "Why? You know why! You destroyed our families you viral scum!" said one of the blue ones. Suddenly naruto had a flashback to when he was in konoha in his younger days, seeing himself in the position of the black werewolf, the blues replaced by villagers.

He grew angry, power and a red aura gathered around him as he stepped forward. The blue werewolves let him pass, thinking he was on their side.

Oh how wrong they were.
He reached the downed werewolf and asked kindly, "What is your name?" the black digimon was confused at his gentle tone. " b-Blackweregarurumon." He answered.

Naruto turned around sharply and glared at the crowd of spectators. "Go away." He told them. None of them listened, and they all sneered. "You're protecting that scum? Fine, we'll just delete you too." Said a giant wolf in the crowd. "I don't think so." said naruto.

He got in a battle stance and was about to beat the tar out of the crowd, put it back in, then repeat the process, when a voice stopped him. "Please, don't hurt them, please…"it pleaded. He looked at its source and saw it came from Blackweregarurumon. He again saw himself in his position, asking jiji to not hurt the ignorant villagers. Naruto's eyes softened, and he nodded. He got out of his battle stance and looked at the other wolf creatures in contempt. "Be thankful I can understand his predicament, you'd be dead otherwise." He turned around and picked up the injured black werewolf and jumped away, headed for the edge of town. "Thank you." Was the only thing Blackweregarurumon could say before he passed out from his injuries.

One month later

A month had passed and naruto was getting the hang of using his body properly, from chakra control, to jutsu, his body's' natural powers inherited from kyuubi, you name it. It helped that he caught on to the shadow clone trick the first week. Then there was Blackweregarurumon, or shadow as naruto liked to call him; he was rapidly becoming naruto's best friend, right up there with the old man, baa-chan, iruka-sensei, the Ichirakus, and Garra. Both shadow and Garra could understand him in a way others couldn't, sharing the burden of carrying something they had no control over. Admittedly, holding a demon was a much bigger burden than having a computer virus in your body, but it was the same basic thing otherwise, right down to the village's treatment of them.

As their friendship grew, they got to know each other better, and thus knew each other's strengths and weaknesses.

One night something amazing happened.

The night something amazing happened.

Naruto was watching the fire and tending to it, while shadow was thinking about something he'd been wanting to know for a while.

"Hey naruto, you know how you used to be human?" he asked the red-blonde fox. Naruto had told Shadow of his previous life before he came to be here.

"Yeah."

"What did you look like?" The question wasn't all that unexpected; in fact he was surprised it took him this long to ask it. He obliged by poofing into his human visage.

Now what happened next requires a little explanation.

When naruto arrived in the digital world, the Digi-gnomes were confused as to what naruto was, he wasn't human, he wasn't an animal(though there were traces of fox in his base code), an he wasn't digimon. Now, the rules for allowing tamers didn't say anything about odd entities not being allowed, so they set about partnering up naruto and shadow since they were getting too close for them not to. It was mere coincidence that they finished their preparations just when naruto used the henge.

Back to the heroes of the story.

Naruto and shadow were surprised by the ball of light that appeared in front of the former, and naruto was wary of it until it did nothing. He grabbed it, and it morphed into a blobby looking thing with a puffed out T shape, white body and black ring around a small screen, and to top it off it had a black strap and belt clip.

Naruto had a 'WTFITS?'(1) face on, while shadow was amazed and giddy at the same time. He got a tamer! And those pricks in garuru city said he'd never get one. They said the desert would freeze over before he got a partner. Yet here he had a partner before any of them, and the dessert was as sweltering as ever.

"Uhh…what is this?" asked naruto. Shadow looked over at him. "That my friend, is a digivice, it is the physical representation of our partnership. From now on we're two parts of the same two-piece puzzle." Naruto looked at shadow and smiled. He'd hoped the wolf would get a tamer, but never imagined himself that person.

Many months passed, and the two became as close as brothers, and naruto became proficient in using the new abilities he had. An odd thing about them that often occurred is that Shadow would always go to naruto for comfort. The reason behind this, is because naruto was older than shadow for the fact that he was only twelve, whilst naruto was, at this point, sixteen, and a half-foot taller than the wolf.

On a random Wednesday afternoon, Naruto and Shadow were hanging around a couple of random caves in the middle of nowhere land napping. Too bad they didn't see the data stream coming straight for them…

OK HAI IM BACK(Dodges all manner of things thrown at him)Sorry I haven't updated in crap knows how long, but I had extreme fallout 3 addiction. Even as I write these words, my longing for it slows my mind, distracting me. I will try and get the next chapter up soon, but I'll need to watch season three again.

Till then,

John Fox.
