Chapter 1

"I curse you to take the form of the demon inside. Never to walk under the sun in human form, in the shadows you must cling. Humanity must be seen within the beast for the human to re-emerge."

Naruto stared as the dark-robed figure shouted a strange incantation at him. His eyes widened even more as he was suddenly lifted into the air and a thick smoke engulfed him, blocking his vision and making him cough. As he felt himself going higher his body felt weird. As he hovered prickly, almost painful feelings ran up and down his skin. Then his whole body felt numb and then the prickly feeling spread from his skin inside until all he knew was that feeling. The feeling stopped as quickly as it had started and Naruto felt himself on the ground again.

Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi had all rushed forward when Naruto had started being lifted by an invisible force but a thick smoke had shrouded the area, keeping them from getting closer. When the smoke had cleared but both people that had been there were gone with a large golden-orange animal where Naruto had been. When it turned toward them they realized it was a large fox. "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that," the fox spoke in Naruto's voice. The three shinobi just stared in disbelief. As the fox reached with a back paw to scratch an ear it paused and looked down in horror. "What the heck?! Why am I a fox? I'm not a fox! I'm a ninja! I can't be a fox," the fox exclaimed in horror as it ran in agitated circles. "Kakashi-sensei! Help me! Change me back," it cried as it ran toward Kakashi.

Kakashi, the first one to understand the situation, sidestepped the fox and tripped it as it continued past him. It landed on the ground in a Naruto-like sprawl and looked up at Kakashi. "Naruto, I believe our target has placed a curse on you. Unfortunately I can't change you back. But when we get back to Konoha maybe the elders or Tsunade-sama can," Kakashi said in his calm and matter-of-fact style.

"Wait, you're saying that is Naruto," Sakura asked pointing at the fox sitting at Kakashi's side.

"Exactly," Kakashi said, nodding.

"This is very hard to believe," said Sasuke from where he sat on the ground.

"Well believe it! I'm a frigging fox! Now can we go back? I want to get changed back,' the fox said turning toward Konoha. It padded off and the three shinobi followed after it.
