This is a rewrite of a new Naruto fanfic I came up with some time ago.
What would happen if, due to mob beating and an exodus from the village, Naruto not only has a family who loves him, but he also gained all the power of the nine tailed fox? Afterwards, he returns to the village a new person along with a warning. Change the way people think or die.
Sucky summery I know, but this will be the first fanfic I have put all my effort into. I am not very good with English, even though that is what I have used all my life. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
By the way, if you decide to flame me or my story,(which will probably happen anyway) I will be forced to introduce you to my pet, a ten foot tall, fire breathing, acid spewing, robot chicken of doom. X)
Now as many of you know, this is a reposting of Hart of a fox, now titled Naruto. Operation: Last Call.

October 10th, seven years after the Kyuubi attack.
The Village Hidden in the Leaves was awash in celebration and remembrance. It had been seven years since the defeat of the Kyuubi and the death of the 4th Hokage. Everyone was out in the streets watching the fireworks or paying their respect for the dead in their own way, whatever that might be. Children laughed and played in the streets as adults gathered in groups to talk and remember that fateful night seven years ago.
In a small alleyway a young child sat with his knees to his chest. The small boy looked to be no more than seven years old and was dressed in an old, raged, orange jump suit. The child was crying softly, his tears running down his dirty face and falling to the dust covered ground bellow. His blond hair was matted from mud and filth from the streets. He brought a skinny arm up and wiped away the tears and felt the small whisker like marks on each cheek. This just brought more tears from the boy as he was reminded why he would never be adopted, never be loved, or cared for.
Why can't I be normal, why can't I have a mommy or daddy that loves me like all the other kids out there, WHY?!?
The young blond cringed as his stomach growled loudly and knew he would soon have to go in search of food. He had been living on the streets for the past six months, ever since he was thrown out of the local orphanage.
At least there he had only gone hungry about every other day or so. Now he was forced to either steal his food or find something eatable in the dumpsters.
Not far away, perched on a rooftop, sat a lone figure. He wore black ninja sandals on his feet with dark grey pants. He also had on a grey flack jacket with multiple pockets, while a wolf shaped mask covered his face. The ANBU Black ops ninja ran a gloved hand threw his silver hair and pulled out his favorite book from it's pouch and began reading where he left off. The books title read: Make out Paradise vol,2, the smut novel was the ANBUs favorite thing in the world and he could hardly wait for the next issue to be released in a few weeks. But just as he was getting to the good part, the masked ninja turned his head to the street below where a dozen ninjas were walking calmly down the road, seemingly minding their own business. The masked ninja knew better.
Those damn idiots are going after the container again?!sigh If I try to stop them alone things will get out of hand fast. I better go warn the Hokage. The ninja replaced his precious book back in it's pouch and sped off across the rooftops toward the Hokage tower, all the while hoping he would make it in time.
PiftPift Across the city, at a small check point gate, a ninja fell to the ground with his hand clutching his chest and the two small holes that had been punched into his hart. His body came to rest between two other ninja that had a similar hole in their head. As his vision faded, a large shadow loomed over his fallen form and he starred at where eyes should be on the stranger and saw two brightly glowing orbs in their place, then he knew no more. The stranger raised up to his full height of ten feet and gazed down at the village.
How pathetic, is this what these humans have been doing all these years, partying while the rest of the world wallows in the ashes of its former glory? The tall figure then stepped into the light and if one looked they would see a giant creature, as would best describe him, easily ten feet tall and built like a mountain. He was dressed all in black from the black cowboy hat on his head down past the long trench coat to the black leather boots on his large feet. He then placed the old silenced pistol back in its holster inside the long trench coat and began walking down the road.
I can't believe he would live in such a rat hole as this and allow his own son to grow up in such a place. I guess the old saying is true, "Ignorance isn't a cure for stupidity".
Sarutobi, the third Hokage of the hidden leaf village, gazed out at the ongoing festivities and sighed.
Those short minded morons, if they only new the truth. It would probably scare them shitless. Sarutobi then turned his head as a masked ninja appeared in the office.
"Kakashi, what brings you here?"
The masked ninja lifted his head and fixed the Hokage with a cold stare.
"The villagers along with several leaf nin, are searching for Naruto, you know what that means right, Lord Hokage?"
Kakashi then winced at the amount of killing intent that began pouring off the aged leader. Sarutobi's hand balled into a fist and he smashed it down onto the old desk with enough force to obliterate the left side completely. He then looked back at the masked ninja and growled out his order.
"Kakashi, I have been too soft with those damn fools. It is about time I fixed that mistake. Take me to Naruto's last location. Those idiots will regret ever tampering with the legacy of the 4th."
After sending a message to Ibiki Morino to meet with them, Sarutobi and Kakashi spread across the roof tops in hope that they could get there before the mob.
Young Naruto backed up until his back came into contact with the cold concrete of the wall. He was crying in fear as he stared at the alley in front of him, that in the past minute had filled with a mob of villagers and ninja. One ninja came to the front of the mob and sneered at the young blond in front of him.
"Well, well, well, what have we hear? A little demon alone in the streets. You know, your pretty hard to find. It took us all of ten minutes to find you."
The sarcasm was so thick it was nauseating as the ninja strode up to the small blond. Naruto had crawled into a corner and was looking fearfully up at the man as he stopped right in front of him.
"Please don't hurt me, I didn't do anything wrong, please I beg you-GAH!"
Naruto doubled over as the man's foot struck his small ribs, shattering them as if they were mere twigs. As he whimpered and moaned he felt the ribs began to reset themselves while the irate ninja leaned down and screamed in his ear.
"HOW DARE YOU BEG!! WHERE WAS YOUR MERCY WHEN YOU CRUSHED MY BROTHER AND PREGNANT WIFE UNDER YOUR TAILS, HUH!?! WHERE WAS IT!! ANSER ME DEMON!!
As the man was about to strike poor Naruto again he felt something splatter on the back of his neck. He brought his hand up to feel and when his hand retracted he saw it was blood. The ninja turned around to look and his face paled at the scene. Everyone, the hole mob, had been slaughtered and the last, a young kunoichi, was suspended in the air from a large blade coming out of her chest. She coughed and then was slammed violently to the ground with a crunch. The ninja had seen this and fell to his back side in shock as a massive figure dressed all in black smashed a huge booted foot into the poor woman's back. Her head then raised up and looked at her comrade, who was on his ass, visibly shaking with fear at the sight before him and the realization that the kunoichi was still alive. However, no matter how hard he tried he could not get his muscles to move so he could help her. He then gasped in horror as blood began to gush from the poor girl's mouth. He looked up and saw that the huge figure was putting more weight onto his victim's back. His massive weight crushing the bones and organs in her body. Finally and mercifully the last bit of life faded from her eyes while her comrade looked on in horror. He flinched as the sword was violently wrenched from the corpse and placed in its holster on the back of the giant. The dark figure then took a few steps into the light and the ninja on the ground screamed at what he saw. The giant was no man, he was a great, bipedal wolf, who was dressed in clothing so dark, it seemed to suck the light right out of the world. The face, from what he could see, had light grey fur covering a large muzzle, while two holes were cut into the cowboy hat, allowing the thing's ears to move about freely. The eyes were a bright yellow, that seemed to glow with an otherworldly light. The whole creature stood over ten feet tall and was heavily muscled. The ninja on the ground grabbed a kunai that was laying at his feet and made ready to throw it at the beast. When he let the knife go, it sailed true and hit the thing in it's chest. However, the giant wolfman just looked down at the kunai and flicked it with a meaty, claw tiped finger. As it fell down to the ground, the fallen ninja could see that it did little more than wrinkle his trench coat. Fear began to rise in the man's throat as the wolf bent over toward him. He tried to back away more, only to be stopped as the giants large, paw like hand wrapped around his neck and lifted him off the ground with no effort. He began to gag as the wolf's claws dug into his skin and the grip tightened so much, that his lower jaw was simpily crushed by the preshure. Then the wolf's eyes turned down and over to where Naruto was curled up in a ball crying. The eyes then turned back to the ninja and the wolf spoke in a deep rumbling voice that sounded like hell itself.
"People like you are the reason why I exist. People like you are the reason the world is so fucked up. You have no heart, you have no honor or morals, just hatred for what you refuse to understand. Your sole is as black as the night, while you try to make yourself out as a hero. You don't even know what it means to be a hero. To protect what you love, all you know is to hurt, and for that you shall die."
With hardly an ounce of effort, the wolf's hand closed on the man's neck and with a sickening pop his head was separated from his body. As the severed head and corpse fell to the dirt, the giant wolf brought out a rag and began to clean his blood covered hand/paw. Once he was sure no more blood was to be found on his fingers, he dropped the rag to the ground and walked over to the young boy huddled in the corner crying his eyes out. He lowered himself down to one knee and gently placed a hand on Naruto's small back. The young blonde's head jerked up and gasped at the huge creature that had single handedly annihilated the whole mob that had been trying to kill him. Tears began to well up in his eyes once more, as he thought that this monster may see him as some sort of snack.
"P-please mister w-wolf, please don't e-e-eat me. I'm sure I won't taste very good."
Naruto looked into the wolfs eyes as they widened and then the creature began to smile.
"I'm not going to eat you little one. In fact, I am hear to take you away from this place. To a city where you can grow up normally, and have a good life. A place where you be respected and loved.
Naruto stared at him with disbelief, could he trust him, could he really trust this wolfman? The huge creature then leaned back to get a better look at the boy and smiled again.
"You know I have a pup just a few years older than you back home. He's has always wanted someone to play with and I'm willing to bet the both of you would be good brothers to one another. What ya say kid, would you like to come home with me and be a part of my family?"
Narutos mouth hung open as he heard this. He then took a small step forward and looked up into the now gentle eyes of the wolf.
"Does this mean that I would have a mommy and daddy like other kids?"
The wolf chuckled at the child's questions and nodded his large head, causing Naruto to jump up and grab onto the wolf's coat. He buried his head into the leather and cried this time not in fear or pain but in joy. He then felt a large, clawed, hand gently rest on his back in a protective manner. Naruto could feel the warmth of the wolf's body and he snuggled into it, happy that someone wanted him, that he was finally loved. The large wolf stood up, lowering his head and nuzzled the young blond in his arms.
"I may not have fathered you and my mate, Star Light, my not have brought you into this world, but I, Storm Cloud, swear on my life that I shall be the best father to you that I can be and I know Thunder will be happy to see you, now that he will have someone his age to play with."
Naruto listened to this and just grinned, all his life he was called a demon. He was never loved, never had anyone to talk to. Yet here was this wolfman who fought to save him and offered to adopted him and make him a part of a family. To say that young Naruto was happy was an understatement.
On a roof across the street, three ninja stood watching the seen. Ibiki was shocked at the strength of the wolf as was Kakashi. Sarutobi however, knew the power of this being, having known of the history of the world from a young age. He knew of the strange hybrids that lived half a world away, in the ruins of what was known as the United States of America. When the forth had been alive he had built a radio that picked up chatter from across the ocean and had discovered that these strange creatures had been in control of the U.S.A. along with several other planets for the past five hundred years. As Sarutobi thought back on this, Storm Cloud turned and started to walk to the mouth of the ally. Before he got there, his head snapped up and stared straight at the three ninja on the roof and narrowed his eyes. His hand reached inside his coat and brought out a small pistol with a silencer on the end, as the three ninja landed on the street in front of him.
"If you three are here to try and hurt Naruto, then you will be joining that sad bunch behind me in hell. I will not let anyone hurt my pup, you understand me?"
Kakashi and Ibiki got into a fighting stance and prepared to fight but Sarutobi's hand signaled them to relax.
"It has been a log time Storm Cloud. I had actually been expecting you much sooner."
Storm Cloud looked at the old man in front of him for a moment before lowering his weapon and speaking in a calmer voice.
"Sarutobi? You have grown much older since I last saw you. You were still fairly young twelve years ago."
The two jonin at the Hokage's side just looked on in wonder. Since when did the third carry on a conversation with something from a nightmare, for that matter, why had he been expecting this creature?
"I see that your two guards are confused as to who I am. Have you not told the people about my race or my intentions regarding Naruto as per our agreement?"
"I'm sorry old friend, but the council has flat out refused to let me inform everyone about you and they have stopped all my attempts to help Naruto. I'm afraid that I have failed both you and the child, for that I am sorry."
Storm Cloud's eyes took on a cold look as he stared at the Hokage. He knew the council had more power, but to just let them have their way like this was inexcusable.
"Sarutobi, I am surprised at you, at how you would just cow tow to a bunch of old farts that have nothing better to do than to flaunt their power over the people all day. You have grown weak old man."
The two ninja at his side began to shout out that he was not weak, that he was the strongest ninja in the village.
"SILANCE, BOTH OF YOU!! I may be weaker than I was a few years ago but I give you my word Storm Cloud, the Village Hidden in the Leaves will know of Naruto's bravery, holding all of the power of the nine tailed fox inside himself. Giving up his humanity to keep us safe from harm, he is the greatest hero in the history of this village. They will also know of your history and intentions, you have my word."
Storm Cloud closed his eyes in thought as he adjusted his grip while Naruto shifted in his sleep. He then let out a sigh and fixed his gaze back on the Hokage.
"All right, I will spare the village for now. But know this, once Naruto reaches fifteen years of age he will return to check up on you. Untill then I expect you to make it clear to these humans that if they value their lives, they will learn to accept Naruto for who he is. He will live with me and my kin and learn how to use our type of energies. He will also be given our hybrid serum, to become a kitsuine as he was meant to be. Heh, I bet it will be one hell of a surprise to the people when he returns."
The old leader sighed with relief that the boy would be taken care of and that he would become powerful just like his father wanted. He bowed his head in thanks and they all watched in wonder as Storm Cloud, with Naruto still sleeping soundly, began to transform into a grey cloud and drift into the sky. After the two had left, Sarutobie turned to his guards and sighed.
"All right you two, lets head back. We have a lot of work to do."
With that the trio speeds back to the tower to gather a meeting of the council. The time has come for me to rectify my mistakes. No longer will I bow to those short sighted fools, from now on they will have to follow my rules. The aged Hokage looked to the night sky and smiled. Grow strong Naruto, grow strong and show the world that even a demon can have a heart.
End of chapter 1
notes
Well this is my first story that I have given my all for. Just some notes for you:
1. The story will not follow the manga.
2. Yes Naruto will be uber powerful, however, he will not be able to perform super powerful jusu because he no longer uses chakra.
3. The energy that is mentioned in this chapter is similar to chakra but one who uses it cannot perform the complicated jutsu that the ninja can, therefore Naruto will not be using any jutsu at all. He will rely on his new powers and his allies to fight.
4. This will be a Naruto/Hinata fic.
5. There will be Sakura and Sasuke bashing in this fic, so if you do not like this, don't read.
6. Advice will be a great help.
7. Updates will be speratic at best, but the story will continue until finished. Patience is a virtue.
8. Instead of having the Kyuubi itself sealed inside of him, Naruto only has the power, making him a new nine tailed fox.
9. Thank you for viewing, please R/R.
