Snow Fox

Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. If I did, I could afford a sex change by now.

Darkness faded into what appeared to be a sewer. He didn't know what happened. One second Sasuke-teme was dying, and the next Naruto was in an unfamiliar place. He felt the urge to go forward and, never one to ignore his gut, walked further into the place. Soon, he came to a large cage with a seal placed on it.

So, you have come. A dark voice said. If you wish for my power, a price shall be paid. Do you wish to avenge your friend?

"Who are you?" Naruto asked.

The only reason your still alive. The voice replied. Do you wish to survive further?

"Yes"

then accept my power and defeat your enemy.

"I accept!" Naruto said, wanting to live. Crimson energy started to pour out of the cage and wrap around him. He could tell that his body was changing into something different, but he didn't care. Right now, all that mattered was survival.

Haku watched as the blond he was fighting was enveloped in a red aura, and his hair begin to elongate, stopping at the thighs. It seemed as if he was getting shorter, if such a thing was possible, and his hands looked like they were getting thinner. Haku could tell the boy was changing, but he didn't know why, nor what that red aura would entail.

As Naruto stood, the feminine male gasped in surprise. All he could think was how beautiful the now female Konoha ninja was. 'Her' long blonde hair reached down to her knees, and her cerulean eyes looked like the ocean and the sky had twins. Her skin was a more creamy color than the tan it was before, and he could tell 'she' was well endowed for a twelve to thirteen year old, even with the orange wind breaker on. Haku almost relinquished control over his jutsu, if not for the aura and killer intent radiating from the blonde.

Naruto, on the other hand, felt nothing but raw power radiating through his/her body. He/she was still unaware of the change his/her body went through, but could tell that something was different. He/she didn't care though. All that mattered at the moment was defeating the fake hunter-nin and not dying.

"I can't," Haku said, stepping out of the mirror he was in. "I can't fight you." This feeling Haku had was something he never felt before. It was more than him not wanting to kill, as he never wished to kill anyone, but he felt the need to not only NOT hurt the girl(?) in front of him, but protect her(?).

Naruto, while not outright attacking, did not relax. The way the fake ninja stopped attacking was suspicious, and didn't want to chance this being a plan to throw him/her off guard.

When the boy reached up and took off his mask, Naruto's breath hitched. He/she was not expecting it to be the boy from the previous morning. If it wasn't for the sound of chirping birds, Naruto probably would've said something, but Haku shouted the name of his master and tried to rush over to him, but from pure reflex, Naruto stopped him.

"Zabuza-sama!" he yelled, before being stopped by the blonde. If Naruto was able to see his face, he/she would have probably seen the blush he was sporting just from touching him/her. In fact, it was almost a miracle he didn't nose bleed from the feel of his/her breasts against him. If he was a pervert, he would definitely have succumbed to the urge to pass out in a perverted stupor, but he was above such things.

The deed was done, and Zabuza was dead. Haku wept, and Kakashi felt a large crowd's presence in the mist. Soon, the missing ninja's jutsu wore off and the cyclops could see upward to fifty thugs, all armed, and one midget in an arm cast.

"So, it seems Zabuza has lost?" said Gato, the short business man. "It seems he wasn't that great after a..." He was cut short as a senbon embedded into his skull, killing him instantaneously. Haku was glaring daggers, or in this case senbon, at the now dead vilian for insulting his master like that.

Enraged at losing their meal ticket, the thugs attempted to storm the village and take everything of value, but was stopped when the villagers gathered to defend their home. After being scared off by a combined effort of the village and the remaining Konoha ninja, Kakashi and Naruto finally noticed the blonde's sex change.

Since he currently was not trying to kill them, and even made a point to help Naruto get away from the crowd with out having to deal with unnecessary questions, Haku was allowed to stay with them as they waited for Sasuke to fully recover from his near-death state. Of course, Haku was watched closely by Kakashi to make sure he didn't try anything sneaky.

What really irked Naruto, was the fact that the boy seemed to want to spend as much time around him/her as possible (he/she wasn't really taking the fact that he/she got turned into a girl very well), and refused to let him/her out of his sight for more that changing and bathroom usage. While the blonde generally liked attention, it was starting to wear on him/her.

Finally, the bridge was complete and Sasuke was ready to leave. Naruto was henge'd into his normal form to avoid questions, and Haku was hoping for a chance to at least become a citizen of Konohagakure no Sato. As they left, Haku was telling Naruto that, since he had experience pretending to be a girl, he would do his best to help her adjust to her new body. Sakura, being a girl herself, could tell that the effeminate boy had what appeared to be a crush on the newly gender bended blonde, and decided that if the two got together, than Naruto would stay out of the way of true love, namely her and Sasuke.

When they got to the village, with Naruto again assuming her disguise, was instructed by Kakashi for her and Haku to follow him to the Hokage's office. The cyclops just knew that the old man would need a drinking buddy tonight, and he felt that he himself would be happy to take up the task.
