Oookay i knot it's too soon for me to start another story while I still write Nano ninja but I felt like it. Also story of author VFSNAKE the Kitsune Predator inspired me and I recommend it as good story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto neither Alien vs. Predator

The Hunter and Prey

Prologue

Unknown location

His feet hurt like hell. His breath was short and harsh coming out in short gasps. Bleeding from long gash on his arm recently stopped and injury itself started healing and his neck was sore from hit he took there. But still he ran more and more until he couldn't run anymore.

It was close. Too close for his liking. He didn't know what it was. But he knew for sure he wanted to get as far away as possible from it. Three days after his banishment it attacked him during night and followed him from that point. He didn't know what it is but still he never given up on running.

Finally he stopped on small clearing in forest and sat under tree there not able to run anymore. 'Maybe it will kill me. Maybe I will finally have some peace in life. It would be nice to finally see my parents.' he thought as he waited on his hunter.

Something wet landed on his shoulder and when he looked on it he saw it was long droll. Looking up he came face to face with mouth full of sharp teeth opened and smaller mouth which as he accidentally found able to shoot for short distance from its mouth. Closing eyes he smiled awaiting his death and hopefully peace.

Konoha

"Well?" asked Godaime hokage of hidden leaf village. ANBU team standing before her along with Hatake Kakashi just put down their heads in shame. "We didn't found him but we assume he's dead Hokage-sama. I feel very sorry." said Kakashi on edge of tears.

Tsunade sank to her chair on edge of tears. "No, no, no, no he can't be dead, he can't. Naruto can't be dead before he will be Hokage even if he's banished. I refuse to believe Naruto is dead. What proof do you have?" she yelled in despair.

Woman in Neko ANBU mask spoke. "Hokage-sama we found traces of battle along with blood on one mile wide area. Also we found in small clearing on edge of that area this." she said while reaching to her pocket and pulling out something.

Tsunade looked up and saw Konoha head band looking like something melted away half of it along with cloth and second half with three scratches from what looked like claws of some unknown animal. Covering her face in her hands Tsunade sobbed and started uncontrollably cry.

With former Konoha nine plus team Gai

Tenten held Hinata patting her on back. Said girl was now crying almost for hour constantly when news of death of one Uzumaki Naruto reached them. Looking around she saw Ino in same condition in arms of Chouji while Kiba was punching in anger nearby tree with Shino usually unemotional Shino helping him. Shikamaru was loudly cursing along with Neji while Lee was crying almost as much as Hinata not even bothering to say something about flames of youth. Only one who were missing were Sasuke who was still in hospital and Sakura who didn't even bothered to leave hospital.

But how Tenten thought about it she came to decision it was for best. After all banishment and following death of Naruto was their entire fault. It was Sasuke's fault for leaving village and Sakura's fault for making Naruto give her that stupid promise. Promise he fulfilled even if it brought him on edge of death. But still that pink haired bitch how surprisingly Hinata of all people called her blamed Naruto for Sasuke's condition even if his condition was much worse.

And also should Sakura be here not even Hokage with her ANBU teams should be able to stop Hinata from hurting her. Not like Hokage would attempt to stop her. Everyone in Konoha knew how Tsunade saw Naruto as grandson.

Following day Tsunade announced decease of Naruto, along with his heritage and what he held. Needless to say citizens of Konoha were shocked and all Shinobi of Naruto's age with younger generations shocked beyond believes from that news. Further telling that his funeral will be in three days Tsunade retreated to her office drink another bottle of sake. Ironically Shizune didn't scold her for it but hammered herself even worse than Tsunade.

On the said funeral gathered everyone in Konoha to honor the boy they all hated and finally decided to honor dying wish of their Yondaime Hokage. Ironically it was after death of said boy.

Three years later

In coming three years everyone changed. Kakashi had almost mental breakdown after funeral and it has been only with help of Shizune that he recovered. Now they had relationship and everyone in Konoha expected when Kakashi will as her to marry him.

Tsunade finally stopped drinking and year after Naruto's death she accepted to go on date with Jiraya and married him half year later. But biggest surprise was on day of their wedding when Jiraya published second book of Tale of Gutsy Ninja: Story of demon vessel. He also swore to stop peeping in hot springs. Not like Tsunade would let him.

Kiba and Shino were dating some civilian girls and were now jounin. In fact all of Konoha nine were jounin now. Shikamaru had found also girl and it was no one else then Sabaku no Temari, sister of Kazekage of Suna Sabaku no Gaara. But biggest surprise was when Chouji and Ino announced they are betrothed which was due fact that Ino was one of biggest Uchiha fangirls. Another surprise was when Neji started dating Tenten. For said girl it was like dream come true because she had liking in him from day one on Team Gai. Finally Lee was still single but liked in one girl from Karaoke club.

Sasuke and Sakura were still single with Sakura still trying to get Uchiha's attention and to his bed. Sasuke was still obsessed with revenge and his superiority complex thinking his teammates Sakura and replacement for Naruto Sai were worthless. But now thanks to control seal connected to his eyes he now had to stay in village or get his bloodline sealed away should he run.

But one person in Konoha changed most. One Hyuuga Hinata became a little cold, strong and no more so shy. During those three years Hyuuga Elders arranged dozens of arranged marriages but she turned them all down. She always said they don't even reach to knees of one person but no one except her friends, Hokage, jounin senseis and her father knew who it was. During that time she let her hair to grow more so not they reached to her middle back. She had also figure any woman would kill for. Hence every single male in Konoha and Fire country asked her to marry him.

Unfortunately as said she turned everyone down with some of more persistent ones ending in hospital courtesy of Juuken strike to crotch. Needless to say when she sent sixth person to hospital citizens of Konoha dubbed her 'Second Konoha Ice queen' and successor of her sensei Yuuhi Kurenai. After this Hyuuga Elders gave up on all attempts to arrange marriage and just watched what will happen secretly plotting something to make her younger sister Hanabi heir of Hyuuga clan. After all what good it will be when she turns down every offer.

Hinata along with her team and team 7 was now walking to hokage's office for mission she was called for. Entering office young shinobi saw Tsunade sitting behind desk with her husband and Shizune by her sides.

"Team 7 and Team 8 reporting for duty Hokage-sama." said Kakashi. "Good. We got reports about some missing people in three towns at border of Fire Country. I sent team to investigate two weeks ago and they should be back by this time or at last sent report. What is worse from that area comes no communication. I'm sending your teams to find out what is going on there and find our team. Dissmised." briefed Tsunade team 7 & 8.

"Hai, Hokage-sama." bowed young Shinobi with their former senseis. After they left Shizune asked Tsunade. "Tsunade-sama do you think it will e fine?" "I don't know Shizune. I know you're worried about Kakashi, but have faith in him. If he's about to die on that mission I will personally drag him back to life to kill him again for breaking your hearth." assured Tsunade her assistant. 'I just hope it's just some bandits or missing nin's.' Oh how badly mistaken she was. Soon big changes will happen in Konoha and some old scars will hurt again.

AN: hope you will like my new story, I hope no one else would have it same as me because I'm writing it from my own head and I don't want to be accused from copying someone's work. Also I'm still looking for beta so if you want to help me I will gladly accept. Again I hope you will enjoy and 4th chapter of Nano Ninja should be out in # days. Xlame out.
