NARUTO LIMPED DOWN THE ROAD, ON HIS WAY HOME FROM A RATHER DIFFICULT MISSION. HE HAD BROKEN HIS LEG IN A BATTLE WITH TORA THE CAT, AND THOUGH IT WAS HEALING QUICKLY, HIS LEG WAS STILL VERY TENDOR. NARUTO GRUMBLED INCOHERENTLY GETTING STRANGE LOOKS FROM TRAVELERS AND GLARES FROM THE VILLIGERS. BUT ONE LISTENED AND WENT AND TUGGED AT HIS JACKET. NARUTO TURNED QUICKER THAN PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE FOR ANY HUMAN. A CLOSER LOOK AT THE BOY AND YOU COULD SEE HE COULDN'T BE MORE THAN TWELVE YEARS OLD. "WHAT IS IT? IM IN A HURRY "SAID NARUTO. " IM SORRY FOR BOTHERING YOU MISTER, BUT I THOUGHT IF ANYONE COULD HELP HIM, YOU CAN." :HELP WHO" ASKED NARUTO, INTERESTED, " IS SOMEONE HURT" THE BOY NODDED, "WELL SORT OF, COME ON ILL SHOW YA." HE TOOK NARUTO INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE ERRIE FOREST. WHERE THERE WAS SAID TO BE A DEMON. NARUTO GASPED; IN THE CENTURE OF THE CLEARING WAS A SMALL FOX, A KIT, BLEEDIND AND GASPING FOR AIR. IT WAS SKINNY AS IF IT WERE MALNOURISHED. NARUTO COULD EVEN SEE THE RIBSPOKING OUT. COMPLETELY FORGETTING HE WAS HURT RAN OVER TO THE LITTLE KIT. CLOSER OBERSAVATION REVEALED THAT THE KITS RIGHT EYE WAS HURT AND PROBABLY DMAGED BEYOND REPAIR. "I THOUGHT YOU COULD HELP IT," SAID THE BOY," SINCE YOU SMELL LIKE A FOX, SO ITHOUGHT HE MIGHT BE YOURS." SURPRISED NARUTO LOOKED UP "WHAT ARE YOU…?" BUT THE BOY WAS GONE. NARUTO COCKED AN EYEBROW AND GRUMBLED SOMETHING BETWEEN THE LINES OF WEIRD AND FREAK DISAPPEARING LIKE THAT. HE SHRUGGED AND RETURNED TO THE WOUNDED KIT. "I CANT JUST LEAVE YOU HERE." HE TAKES OFF HIS SWEATER AND WRAPS IT AROUND THE BABY FOX. HE HEADS TO THE VET AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE, PROBABLY MAKING CHEETAHS LOOK LIKE SNAILS. WHEN THEY WERE DONE, THE KIT WAS SLEEPING PEACEFULLY AND THAT MADE NARUTO HEART FILL WITH WARMTH, ALMOST LIKE THAT OF A FATHER AND HIS LEEPNIND CHILD. FINALLY, HE ARRIVED AT HIS APARTMENT THAT WAS SURPRISLY CLEAN. AS SOON AS HE TOUCHED THE PILLOW HE FELL ASLEEP. LITTLE DID HE KNOW THAT THE LITTLE KIT WAS ACTUALLY A SOUL AND WAS BEING ABSORBED TO HIS SEAL?
INSIDE NARUTO (MINDSCAPE)
"HAHAHA, IT LOOKS LIKE MY CONTAINER HAS FOUND A DEMON FOX SPIRIT." BEHIND SOME TYPE OF CAGE, WITH A PAPER THAT SAID SEAL, STOOD THE MOST POWERFUL OF ALL DEMONS, KYUUBI NO KITSUNE. NEXT TO HIM WAS A STATUE WITH THE PICTURE OF THE LITTLE FOX THAT NATUTO HAD SAVED. "I CANT WAIT TO SEE HIS FACE WHEN HE CHANGES .HAHAHAHA, OH WELL I WELL HAVE TO WAIT, TILL THEN ILL HAVE A FOX NAP."
IN THE REAL WORLD
NARUTO HAD GROWN FOX EARS ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD AND HIS HUMAN ONES WERE GONE, AND TAILS WERE SWISHING BEHIND HIM. THEY WERE CRIMSON ORANGE AND HAD WHITE TIPS. "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH" SCREAMED NARUTO. AFTER A FEW MINUTE OF CALMING DOWN HE DECIDED TO WEAR A COAT TO HIDE HIS NEW APPEARANCE. WHEN HE GOT TO THE ACADEMY, EVERYONE GAVE HIM A LOOK AS IF TO SAY 'WHAT HAPPENED TO THE IDIOTIC ORANGE SUIT OF HIS AND WHY HE IS EARLIER AND THE MALING A RUCKS.' BUT HE WENT INSIDE EVERYONE STARTED TO LAUGH AND CALL HIM, TWIN SHINO. JUST THEN IRUKA SENSEU COMES IN AND SHOUTS "QUIET DOWN EVERYONE, NARUTO TAKE OFF THAT COAT, IT'S NOT LIKE YOU." HE SAID. BUT NARUTO SIMPLY REFUSED TO TAKE OFF THE BEING THE ANNOYING ASUKE FANGIRL WENT UP TO HIM AND LATHCHED ONTO HIS COAT. SHE THEN TUGGED AND YANKED IT OFF. IT WAS SO SUDDEN THAT NARUTO COULDNT REACT IN TIME TO STOP HER. WHEN THE JACKET FELL TO THE GROUND, ALONG WITH EVERYONE MOUTH. WHAT THEY SAW SYRPRISED THEM. BUT AT THE END ALL THE GIRLS SCREAMED AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW NARUTO IS BEING HUGGED AND PETTED. UNFORTUNATELY FOR HIM, HE COULDN'T HELP HIMSELF AND STARTED PURRING. WHICH CAUSED ALL THE GORLS TO HUG HIM UNTIL HE SAID "AIR… NEEDED FOR…ME…..TO BE….ALIVE "
