Naruto grimaced a bit, "Yes. Because of Orochimaru trying to place his gay ass hickey on me in The Forest of Death, Kyuubi was forced to divert at least four maybe five tails worth of her youki into my body. However the human body is not made to handle that amount when it's actually flooding your body."
Tsunade frowned, "What do you mean by that?"
"Well as you know when a human has a demon sealed inside of them they are able to utilize said demon's youki. However, when they use it the youki is doing nothing more than moving around them, it's not actually inside of their bodies when they use it, hence the shroud you see when a Jinchuuriki uses their bijuu's youki."
"I thought it had to travel through the chakra coils when you were using it," Jiraiya commented with a thoughtful frown.
"Yes, but there is more than just the chakra coils within the human body isn't there? Kyuu-chan said that when the cursed seal tried to infect me that it tried to latch onto more than just my chakra coils, but also my muscles and organs in order to gain control over me."
Naruto shrugged, "I don't really know what it was trying to do or why it would do that, all I know is that Kyuu-chan had to divert her youki into my body to stop it from spreading so I could defeat it. However the seal mutated and something happened within my body, fundamentally changing my DNA to match that of a demon's."
Tsunade blinked as she tried to process what Naruto just said, "So, you're not human? What about you're human DNA?"
Naruto flinched when she said not human but still answered her questions as Kyuubi did her best to explain, "I'm half human, half demon, hence a Hanyou. I still have all of my human DNA within me, and from what Kyuu-chan said it's the dominant gene that would get passed down if I ever decide to have kids. However my demonic DNA was added onto me because of the overflow of Kyuu-chan's youki in my body."
"And how long have you known this?" Jiraiya asked in a disgruntled voice.
'Since I woke up in the Forest of Death," Naruto said in a soft voice.
"Then why didn't you tell Sarutobi-sensei or me?"
"Because I was afraid," Naruto turned away when he spoke, not wanting to look Jiraiya or the others in the eyes. "I was afraid that if you, Ojisan or anyone else found out I was no longer human that you would hate me."
Jiraiya's eyes softened at that as he realized Naruto had only done what anybody in his position probably would have done. It was bad enough when the boy held the Kyuubi inside of him, but now he was a demon, well, half demon anyway. And if the general populace of Konoha ever found out it would easily make his life hell.
Shizune who was sitting right next to him did not really understand much other than that Naruto was at least half demon; however she knew that the boy before her was not evil in anyway. She scooted closer to him and wrapped an arm around the blond, startling him into looking at her.
"I don't think it matters Naruto-kun," She gave him a smile. "Even if you're not fully human you're still one of the kindest people I know."
Naruto looked at her for a moment before smiling. Closing his eyes he leaned into the black haired woman, "Thanks Shizune-nee-chan. That means a lot to hear someone say that."
The other two smiled at the scene before Tsunade spoke up, "I've never heard of a half demon before."
"Nor will you," Naruto said, cracking an eye open as he stayed within the comforting embrace Shizune was giving him. "According to Kyuu-chan the last Hanyou to exist in this world lived around several thousand years before she was born."
Everyone looked surprised by that information, but filed it away and decided to get back to the task at hand.
"Well since you woke up pretty late in the evening we won't be leaving until tomorrow," Jiraiya got off the wall. "I suggest you get some more sleep gaki."
"Leaving?" Naruto asked.
"That's right," Tsunade said as she stood up. "Tomorrow we'll be going back to Konoha." She favored him with a smile, "After all you won our bet."
Naruto blinked in confusion for a second before he felt something cold on his chest. Looking down he saw the Shodai's necklace sitting next to the one Haku had given him. "Huh, I guess I did, didn't I?"
"That right's, so get some rest. We'll be leaving tomorrow morning," Tsunade, Jiraiya and Shizune left with pig in tow, closing the door and leaving Naruto alone.
