Naruto: Kitsune Tails

Part: 1

Welcome to my first try at a fanfic. This story came to me while I was laying in bed getting ready for sleep. I wrote it down on 2 pieces of paper, well, a basic overview of it. And now you see it in all of its typed glory. I want to thank Dragon Man 180 for inspiring me to use Hanyou, and the author of the very well written Team 7 for influencing me more. On another note, I want to thank NaruxHina fans who wrote their epics on fanfiction, there are just too many to count, I will name some though. The main influences are Living Among Leaves, Two Halves by Damewren, and Into the Woods by Kyuubiteaser. Oh, perhaps one of the biggest stories that I really enjoyed was a new life in a new land, all of your tales have helped me even further. Finally I want to thank Masashi Kishimoto. Without him, Naruto would never have come to be. With that, I will usher you in to the world of Naruto, my style.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any related things, except for one of those plastic shuriken

Chapter 1: Beginnings

Naruto was walking home from a day of training; it was roughly 11:00 pm. He had to make some stops along the way back, so he tried to cut through an alleyway to 

save time. As he got about halfway through, his advanced senses detected something coming toward him, using an advanced knowledge of stealth coming from 4 years of practice; he quietly used some of his power to blend in with the scenery. Suddenly he saw a figure stop directly in front of him, taking a quick rest. As quietly as possible Naruto snaked his tail around the man's neck, and before the man realized it, squeezed the man's neck hard until he crumbled, unconscious. thinking that he was a drunken villager coming after him, Naruto started to leave, but then something happened that changed his life.

Suddenly as the man fell, a bundle fell out of his arms with him. Wondering what this was, Naruto quickly went over to investigate. What he saw startled him. The bundle was actually a girl, about his age, who was unconscious. Naruto started to run, only to hit a man's leg and fall down.

Naruto thought to himself how stupid he was for not sensing the man, knowing it wouldn't have happened if he hadn't stopped to check the bundle. Now here he was, staring down another man with weird, almost milky eyes. The man quickly stepped over him towards the bundle, picking the girl up gently, then, thinking, picked Naruto up as well. Of course, not knowing who this man was, Naruto started fighting, that was, until he was silenced by a gentle strike to his neck, knocking him out.

When he woke up, Naruto noticed he was in a small chamber. When he got up, he noticed a bunch of people wearing hoods in a circle around him. He suddenly jumped up and started waving his tail menacingly. One of the people spoke. "Please, don't be alarmed. We aren't going to harm you." The man smiled gently then gestured next to him. The girl he had accidently saved was still out. Again the man spoke, 

"Please, we are grateful for what you did. You see, that girl is the heir to be head of our clan, the Hyuugas."

Naruto jumped when he heard the last name. "You people wanted me out of the village; don't think I forgot that meeting with the Hokage!" He went into a flashback of that fateful day.

3 years ago--3 years ago

Naruto was sitting in a chair in the office of the Sandaime Hokage. After about 15 minutes of very uncomfortable silence, the Hokage walked in with 2 men. "Naruto, allow me to introduce these two men. This is Fugako Uchiha, and this is Hiashi Hyuuga. They are both esteemed council members, and have come up with a solution to the Kyuubi. Naruto's ears perked up, lately he had been having visits from the beast, some pleasant, others, not so much, in his mind. He had been taught numerous techniques that would help him after he became a hanyou. That was in 5 minutes, but nobody except for the Kyuubi knew that.

The Hokage continued, "Fugako and Hiashi are also heads of their respective clans. They have proposed that you be sent on a 5 year training journey to help control your powers. They suggested that the sannin Jiraiya go with you."

Suddenly it clicked in Naruto, "You just want to send me away…" Sarutobi began to get nervous, he had never seen it from this perspective, here they were, possibly the two men who hated Naruto most, of course there was a catch.

"Listen, Naruto, I think it would be good for you, that way you could control your powers more easily."



Naruto smiled as he got a message from the Kyuubi, "Why would I need to train to keep something in that isn't even there?" He asked.

Nobody got to answer that question as the room was filled with a blinding red light. When it cleared, there was Naruto, sitting as he was before, only he looked very… different.

Present--Present

"That was also the day I transformed into this." He said while he rubbed his chin with one of his tails.

The Hyuuga finally came out with it, "Listen to me Naruto, we are in your debt, by not killing this man, he was judged and sentenced to life in a high security prison for attempted kidnapping of a noble classmen. Thanks to you, we also have my daughter back." The man pulled down his hood, revealing the man as Hiashi. "We offer you a home, we know you don't have one, we hope you will stay with us for as long as you want. Also, we can put you into the academy if you wish. You would make a good training partner for Hinata."

Naruto was speechless, this was the man who wanted him to be banned from the village 3 years ago, still, he wasn't stupid. "I accept." And with those words, began the life of a legend.

Okay guys, that was my first chapter, I know it was pretty skimpy on some parts, but I'm going to be able to devote a large amount of time into it soon, so I'll pour over every detail then. Just so you guys know, I plan on making this an internal 9 part story, so this will be like the collection area for all of them, I'm not going to post them separate cause apart they aren't that long. They will be separated by age, but you will have to guess that part.

Well, please, read, review, and recommend, I should be posting again within the week, if not; you can call me a perverted Cyclopes, because I'll probably have been helping old ladies for a while now.

Bye now, FDN
