Ok, first off I'd like to apologize to any and all Naruto fans who find this as sacraligious and flame to no end about it. It's just that, well I've had this idea floating around in my head for as long as I can remember after learning about Naruto and becomeing a Narutard (if I am even worthy of the name that is). So, just drop a few reviews and I'll gage wheather I continue this or not, thank you.

Disclamer: I don't own Naruto

"Speech"

'Thought'

Chapter 1: Confusion in Konoha

Naruto sat before the Hokage, his mind to full of information and unanswered questions at the moment to even think. He looked to his left at the dog and his master, looking back at him with a bit of scepticism and confusion. Behind him stood the bug user, his face blank but other signals showing his confusion. And to his right stood the shy girl, her light violet pupil less eyes filled with concern and hope as they looked from Naruto to the Hokage.

The Hokage sat back in her seat holding her head as her mind burned with the information she had just received and her mouth just burned for the taste of Sake as the streets outside filed with villagers and ninja alike all raging and scared, asking for an answer from their beloved Hokage. This arguably had to be one of the most confusing and hardest days of he whole career. To think this all started with a simple dream...

Naruto began to stir underneath the covers of his bed and before he knew it his eyes had opened to the world around him. However this world wasn't the one he was oh so familiar with, this world was dark with a single light beside his head. 'Ugh...what time is it?' He thought to himself expecting no one to answer his own thoughts...except maybe that damn fox. He turned his head to look at the clock by his bed, it read 5:34 AM. 'Oh sonnova...' He muttered in his mind curling up attempting to return to the land of dreams but it was no use.

Not that it would have aided him anyway. For the last few weeks he had been having very odd dreams most of them dealing with the demon fox residing in his stomach. Why he had just woken up from a particularly odd dream where Kyuubi had...well he didn't quite remember but it was odd to say the least.

He groaned and rolled out of bed, landing on his feet and deciding to take a small stroll to clear his mind and hopefully get back to sleep. He exited through his bed room window and jumped down with ninjagrace to the city streets, taking to a brisk walking pace to hopefully get this cleansing of his soul through with before the villagers awoke in the early morn.

He sighed as he thought back to what had happened recently. He had come back to Konoha after a two and a half year long leave with the Ero-Sennin, Jiraiya only to be ordered on a mission to save the Kazekage, Gaara. Needless to say he had succeeded and returned to Konoha only to begin getting these weird bouts of pain in his stomach along with his warped dreams.

He shook his head and a thought struck his head that it was a tad bit warm out that night but he quickly dismissed it, Konoha could have some weird weather now and again couldn't it. He looked around and noted something else odd, the buildings seemed to have grown since yesterday but he decided to chalk it up to him being so tired, it was 5:30 in the fricking morning, he was damn entitled to some hallucinations.

He felt as if the gods hated him now because, even at 5:30 in the morning, he heard the door to a shop open and people began to walk out. He groaned to himself as he saw them out of the corner of his eye stare at him but for some reason he didn't feel hate from this stare. Well not as much, but this stare held surprise, and even more so great and terrible fear. Suddenly the villagers took off in a brisk run leaving Naruto even more confused. He shook his head and decided to think about more pleasant things hopefully ridding him of this damned insomnia and allowing him a moments peace in the process.

His mind turned to who he had seen again on his return to Konoha. He had seen Konohamaru and his corps once again but more so he had seen Sakura again in what had seemed like AGES. It was a reunion that only could be between a brother and sister. Then Kakashi came up and they had to have an almost full team 7 reunion. Hell they had even double teamed on Kakashi and beat him on the bells test thanks to Narutos perverted knowledge.

He found more of his friends hadn't changed much in the time he had been gone, in fact they say he had changed the second most. He smiled and shook his head at his latest encounter. Team 8 had been a blast to see again. Shino was his same cold and collected self with almost silence but Kiba and Akamaru! Akamaru apparently had the world biggest growth spurt because he had changed from the dog that was forever perched upon Kibas head to the dog who now carried Kiba on his back like he was a feather.

He had to smile in spite of himself at when he had seen Hinata, she plain stuttered to no end with that red blush of hers then fainted in front of him. He was still confused as to why but it certainly made an entertaining scene. His neck muscles seemed to twitch a bit when he thought of the deep red blush on her but he once again chalked it up to being up so early. He sighed comparing his friends to when he first saw them to how they looked and acted now but that train of thought ended early when he made it to his apartment, completely missing the screams of the early morning villagers while he was lost in thought.

Naruto yawned and jumped in through his window again only to find the time had become 6:30. 'Wow, a whole hour...I must have lost track of time. Might as well go train seeing as how I'm not getting back to sleep any time soon.' He thought before he realized he had to get use the bathroom first. He yawned causing his jaw to crack a bit. He rolled his neck and entered to bathroom to use the facilities. That's when he noticed, the sink was a little to tall for him.

'Seriously, who the hell is screwing with my mind. Kakashi or someone must be putting on some sort of genjutsu just to piss me off this morning.' He sighed and raised his hands to make a seal to release the jutsu but no matter how many times he tried, the sink still stayed to tall for him to reach. 'Oh damnit.' He thought as he jumped and put his hands on the sink. 'What the hell, I jumped but my feet are still on the ground...what is going...' He thought but stopped short as he looked in the mirror.

Now he was correct, he hadn't left the ground when he jumped nor had the sink suddenly grown shorter. He looked into the mirror with wide blue eyes and the only thing that stared back at him was the face of a fox, it's golden fur shining even with minuscule light of the waning light bulb and it's three golden tails swishing in the shadows behind him.

Naruto moved his head right and so did the fox, he moved his hand to wave in front of his face and the fox did the same thing, waving a paw much like Naruto had. Naruto looked at his hands only to see padded foxes paws on the ends of his golden furred wrists. Naruto did the only thing he could think of. He took in a deep breath, and screamed until the world around him spun and he fell into unconsciousness.

End Chapter 1

Well, thats it. It's incredibly short considering what I normaly write but this is kind of, you know, to test the waters. If you like review, if you don't flame, at least I'll get and accurate measurment on how this is and wheather I should continue or not. Later.
