Kakashi was annoyed, Naruto was being even more of a pain then usual. That morning when Naruto, Sakura, and himself had decided to see each other again catch up with each other (they had all been busy with their own 'jobs'), Naruto suddenly looked at something and yelled at whatever it was to come back, then he took off for it. He and Sakura went after him but, somehow, they lost him. They looked for several hours trying to find the blonde, but they both had stuff to do.

Kakashi finished his mission at around 10pm. And decided to check up on Naruto to make sure he was alright. To his surprise he found that Naruto was not at home. He had to now find Naruto. "I'm going to kick his freak 'n ass when I-" Just then he found Naruto. But it was obvious to Kakashi something was wrong. Naruto looked like shit. He was covered in mud, his clothes were torn and cuts covered his body. He also was also stumbling around from exhaustion. But what made it obvious to Kakashi that something was definitely wrong was the fact that the cuts weren't healing at their usual accelerated rate.

"Naruto! What happened!?" Kakashi rushed over to his former student. "Kakashi it's the kyuubi! It is trying to do something!" As if the mentioning of its name was a trigger. Behind Naruto the demon's face appeared, waves of power radiated from the image. It looked at Kakashi and grinned, "Greetings, Kakashi. Don't bother asking me anything, ask Naruto, if he can still talk when I'm through with my example of how I'm going to punish this village." Then the demons face faded as if moving back into deep shadows.

Before Kakashi could react though, the fox's hands shot from the 'shadow' that it had disappeared into and both grabbed Naruto, who seemed to be in a daze. There was a flash of blinding light, and Naruto came flying at the Copy Nin, knocking him of his feet and into a garbage can.

As Kakashi sat their thinking about how the crap had definitely hit the fan, a porn mag. Fluttered down and landed on his face. Hay! I don't have this issue yet! I'll just bring it along…oh yah, where's Naruto? Kakashi got out of the dumpster and looked around. It didn't take long for him to find his former student, as usual Naruto was in the most embarrassing situation in the group, or in this case, the two of them. He was stuffed into a garbage can about ten feet away…head first, his legs sticking out as if he was a dead body. Kakashi quickly ran over to him, pulling him out and noticed immediately something was up. Naruto was looking, to put it kindly, weird; like Kyuubi had taken its own appearance and shoved it together with Naruto. The only reason he didn't just run off screaming was the fact that as he lifted him from the garbage can Naruto's body had dwindled into that of a skinny young half-human fox. Also there was the fact that Naruto's face hadn't really changed other then he looked like he did before he left with Juriya. 'well I guess the upside of this is we can make short jokes again…if he's still sane'

Kakashi, while being incredibly lazy for a ninja, he didn't slack (as much) when something potentially dangerous was going on. This being the case he headed towards the Hokage's Tower. When he got there Sunade was upset to say the least. "WHAT DID YOU SAAAAAAAAY?!" Kakashi was seriously thinking of throwing Naruto, still unconscious mind you, at Sunada in order to distract her long enough for him to escape. He quickly discarded this notion because Sunade would probably hunt him down for throwing her 'younger brother.'

After about 5 minutes of verbally and physically abusing Kakashi. Sunade decided to assess Naruto's condition. "Well whatever Kyuubi did it isn't advanced Genjutsu of some kind." Kakashi was being looked after by Sakura who arrived sometime during Kakashi being mutilated by Sunade and sat in shock looking at Naruto. This is very understandable, considering Sunade beating the tar out of someone was a fairly common occurrence. This is further reinforced by the fact that Naruto looked like he did when they were team 7, only now he looked a little like a furry. "Well thanks for that observation Kakashi, but I don't think the Kyuubi would put advanced genjutsu on all the citizens of Konaha." Sakura stated. "Also, Naruto is around the age he was before he left physically, and there is no way of knowing of his condition mentally until he wakes up." Sunade added as she reentered the room after finishing up with Naruto who had been moved to Sunade's seldom used bedroom.

After about fifteen minutes of silence, the door opened revealing a sight that made all of them, in varying ways, burst out laughing. Well Sakura burst out laughing; Sunade tried to hide her chuckle, but failed; and Kakashi nearly chocked on his mask. What they saw was Naruto, his hair more of a mess then usual, his newly acquired ears were twitching around giving him a confused look, his eyes were half closed while his mouth was slightly open, and his new tail was dragging on the ground. What truly made hit so funny was the fact his shirt had slipped off one of his shoulders and as soon as he had opened the door his pants had slipped down around his ankles.

Because of his pants, he tripped when he came into the room and face planted into the ground with a resounding crack. As you would expect he was pretty awake after that. "Ow!" Still chuckling Sunade asked if he was alright, getting up rubbing his sore nose he replied, "Ya I'm fi-…?" His face took on an expression of confusion, "what's up with my voice?" At this point Sakura couldn't resist she got up and walked up too Naruto, who was still on the ground, and patted him on the head. "What are you talking about, midget?" "Huh? What are you talking about? I'm taller then you now!" with this he stood up, coming an inch or two short of her chest. "Wa?!" Naruto looked up too her in shock. Quickly he looked down at her feet she didn't even have her shoes on. Then he looked at his feet, he did have his shoes on! Shortly after this realization he saw his pants were missing. This caused his cheeks to turn a bright red. Swiftly searching for them he found them at the door , a foot or so away. As quickly as he could, he pulled on his pants only to see how huge they were on him.

As you would expect while pulling on the gigantic pants he was able to discover his new appendage. "WHAT THE HELL!" Naruto screamed reaching behind himself and grabbed his fluffy tail. By this time Naruto had grown nearly white from shock. Dropping his tail, he shakily reached for the top of his head and grabbed his ears, this was all he could take. "Waa…?" as he fainted he made a squeaking noise. Sunade rushed over to Naruto as Sakura and Kakashi both fell over laughing at the expressions they had seen. "Sakura! Of you and Kakashi, YOU should've known not to do something that could lead to someone going into shock!" Sunade's eyes were shooting kunai at her student. "S-sorry Sunade-sensei!" Sakura apologized, bowing repeatedly.

Little did they know that their troubles had just begun. Well, truthfully they new other bad things were going to happen but that isn't very convenient for ending a chapter now is it?
