Kyuu: Review answer time!

Omega Shenron: thanks for the correction, that'll be fixed soon.

Gardien1204: To be quite honest, I totally forgot that part. There will be a translation section at the end of the chapter for both one and two.

3ch0: Fuck off. This is my story and if you don't like it, then don't fucking review. As I see it, reviews are for constructive criticism or for telling the author what he could improve on or add.

TAKCH1: I actually read something similar in Mr. Writerwriter's fic Big Mean Machine Uzumaki. I enjoy his writing style, but it's a pity he stopped updating. Ah well.

And to everyone else that reviewed, thank you and here is the second chapter of Lords of Dragons and Foxes.


Hiruzen could feel it. Hiashi's attempt to curb his KI as he approached the tower was gradually failing and letting him know that the Hyuuga patriarch was coming to see him. He simply pulled out his pipe and gently prodded a bit of tobacco that Kaito had managed to hand him. Sarutobi had lit the pipe with a small katon jutsu when Hiashi damn near broke the door off the hinges.

"My daughter…." Hiashi managed to start.

"Is in capable hands." Hiruzen cut him off. "She will be with someone else for a few days."

"That is unacceptable."

"Hiashi-san, you knew this would happen eventually." The Sandaime puffed his pipe, feeling the mixture of herbs taking effect. Oh, it had a spice of peppermint.

"My lord, may I inquire as to who is watching over her?" Hiashi gritted out through clenched teeth.

Hiruzen opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by a tap on the window. Looking over, he was greeted with the sight of a small purple dragon covered in yellow armor with a single emerald imbedded in the top of the head. He was holding a small parcel and looked a tad disgruntled. Standing, he opened the window, allowing the dragon to flutter in and land on the desk.

"This is simply degrading. Me, one of the summons of the greatest species to ever walk the earth reduced to a messanger." The little dragon complained. "Me, Yari! I have more use than…." He sniffed the air. "Do I smell cherries?"

Hiruzen smiled as he held the bag of chocolate covered cherries teasingly in front of the little reptile. "I thank you for your delivery. What is it?"

"Scrolls with intel about some lesser known bases of Orochimaru." Yari was beginning to drool. "As well as some new coded messages from Iwa and Kumo. New cyphers used. GIMMEGIMMEGIMME!" the little dragon leapt at the bag of sweets only to be thwarted by Hiruzen plucking the bag out of his flight path.

"Thank you. Here you go," the Sandaime threw one cherry into the dragon's maw and threw the rest out the window high into the air. Paperwork was scattered everywhere as Yari chomped on the cherry in his mouth and damn near teleported to the bag, grabbing it and flying off with a shout of "Thanks, Wuth-Jul!"

Hiruzen chuckled at the gobsmacked look on Hiashi's face. "Really, Hiashi-san, did you actually think they could keep him away? He is her godfather after all."

"This…changes things." Hiashi stated slowly with a look of melancholy and acceptance in his eyes. "I assume you kept the paper work?"

"Hai. For a rainy day, as you know."

"Very well. Shall we begin?"

(insert line here)

Kaito sighed as he suppressed the urge to sneeze as he walked down a road with Hinata and Naruto. All of them had an ice cream cone after lunch. Naruto had never been allowed to have one, but the sight of Kaito picking his nails with a rather evil looking dagger told the vendor that refusing him would have been unwise. That and two dragons that were sitting on the heads of Naruto and Hinata were enough to deter a lot of people. One was an alabaster silver hawk-dragon with ruby red eyes who had been introduced as Horus to the two children. She had chosen to squat on Naruto's head, while her companion/rival Kodai, a metallic grey and yellow dragon with twin large fists, sat on Hinata's shoulder occasionally stealing a lick from her own cone and attempting to look innocent. Horus, on the other hand, nipped at Naruto's ear when he would move his head enough to almost dislodge her.

"Die, brat!"

Kaito simply dashed to where the man was trying to attack the surprised children and proceeded to kick him into a nearby fence. He motioned for the children to continue and followed behind them. This really was getting old. That was the fourth person today and Kaito was beginning to think that he should let the dragons take care of them. Otori hopped on his arm and quietly nibbled on the remainder of the cone.

Horus had looked over the young Hyuuga heiress and had informed the dragon summoner only to be overwhelmed by Kaito's killing intent. She had multiple bruises around her body and clogged chakra pathways and numerous hair line fractures from the training she had been put under. He had placed a status seal on her while telling her that she was going to get healed, but she would have to bear the pain, for the lack of a better word, for a little while longer. When she asked why, he simply smiled and said that a lot of things were going to change for her and Naruto.

"Hinata-sama!"

Kaito groaned as he turned to face the newest obstacle to their destination; one Hyuuga, main branch if the lack of a seal was anything to go by. Should he let Horus and Kodai handle this or should he?

Decisions, decisions.

"Hinata-sama, where have you been? Hiashi-sama is going to be very-"

Kaito decided to end this. "Leave her alone." He said as he discreetly unsealed a weapon on his palm.

"Back off commoner." The Hyuuga move to get by him only to meet a dagger about an inch away from his throat.

"Now I'm only going to warn you once. Let everyone in your little clan know that if they even think of trying to bring Hinata-chan back to your clan compound, I will not hesitate to send them to the hospital completely broken, mentally or physically depending on my mood or their mood." He pointed at the two dragons, who were now staring intently at the clan member they were confronting. "Just tempt them. I know how devastating they can be."

"Bah, they're just oversized lizards-"

A tick mark appeared on all three dragons' heads as a sweatdrop appeared on Kaito's.

"That are too weak to even fly-"

Cue growth spurt of tick marks and sweat drop.

"and cannot hold a candle to the Hyuuga's Jyuuken-"

"THAT'S IT! SECRET ART: WIND DRAGON ROAR!" Kodai bellowed. She took in a deep breath and breathed out, unleashing a massive gust of wind at the shocked Hyuuga. The Main house member tried to begin to block it with Kaiten, but the wind was moving at an almost impossible speed and threw him into several walls.

Obsidian black eyes watched on as the dragon settled down with a huff. "Weakling my-"

"Kodai, language. There are virgin ears around."

"It's ok, Oji-san! That crazy snake lady chased me once after I pranked her while cussing up a storm." Naruto looked thoughtful. "I wonder if she is still mad about that."

"GET BACK HERE GAKI! I WANT YOU TO FEEL THE FUN OF A SPOON, A COCONUT AND A PELICAN!"

Naruto took off like a rocket with Hinata in tow. Kaito stood there shaking his head as the dust fell long enough to reach out and pull up. In his hand was a purple haired kunoichi in a fishnet top, a very short orange skirt and a tan trenchcoat struggling to move as seals wrapped around her body to restrain her. "Really, Anko-chan, you stole my interrogation idea?"

Anko froze before getting a proper look at the man now holding her like a kitten by the scruff of her neck. "Kaito-sensei? Is that you?"

He leaned over and whispered. "In your room before you left with Orochimaru, you had the first 4 books of Icha Icha as well as pictures of Alaskan malamute puppies and Persian kittens after a bath, the ones that make you coo because of how cute they are."

Her eyes widened. Only a few people knew of her secret stashes and pictures. "Kaito-sensei!" she cried as he released the seals.

GLOMP

"Sensei! I missed you! How are you? Are you stronger? Did you get me any souveniors?" Anko cried.

She felt a tap in her shoulder. Looking down, she saw Kaito's red hair covering her cleavage, meaning his face was in the valley of 'Try to touch this and your balls are going to be your new appendix'. Kaito tapped out, 'Need. Air.'

"Oh, my apologies, sensei!" Releasing him, she blushed slightly as he took some deep breathes. "How are you?"

"Well, though I can't say the same about Naruto-itoko."

"Wait, he's your nephew?"

"Distantly, but yes. Now let's find them before anything else happens to them."

Speeding up, both chatted aimlessly about things around Konoha. When they arrived, they found Hinata holding on to Kodai as Naruto was arguing with a boy the same age with pitch black hair and obsidian eyes. "For the last time, Sasuke-teme, she is not an object and I can't hand her over."

"Dobe, that dragon can make me stronger, get out of my way so I can claim her!"

"Yeah, Naruto, hand her over!" Tweedledee and Tweedledumb, I mean Sakura and Ino were on the scene. Sakura was the one to say that, due to the fact that Ino had spotted the two older nins and backed off.

"Kodai and Horus are summons of my contract. The only way to even work with them is if I tell them to cooperate or to sign the contract yourself." Kaito spoke up from behind the dumb duo. "Both are not objects, though there are days I wonder about their preferences in mates." Anko caught the slight jab at the two dragons, who took offense and started gnawing on his head.

"Ah, Oji-san, they are chewing on your head."

"Yup."

"Are you going to stop them?"

"Nope."

"Why?"

"Cuz they'll just find some other way to annoy me. Besides….SQUIRREL!"

Both dragons looked in the direction that he was pointing in. Indeed there was a squirrel and both dragons vanished from his head to try and catch the animal while chanting/calling, "Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine."

Kaito turned to the three stooges. "Now, I believe you were leaving?"

"I want those dragons! I need their power in order to kill HIM!" Sasuke tried to look cool and awesome in his own emo way in order to convince him to hand them over.

"Who is 'HIM'?" Kaito asked. Anko leaned up and whispered in his ear as Otori followed a butterfly from her perch on his head. "Oh, him. Sorry kid, you may not get that chance."

"What? Why not?"

"Reason number A-"

"A is not a number! It's-"

"Meh, you say tomato, I say tomahto. Moving on: I intend to capture him. Reason number B…..you don't need to know."

"Bullshit! I am an Uchiha! I am an elite!"

Kaito snorted. "Yeah right. The only way you can be an elite is if you can pull something off that has never been done successfully. And there is more to the world than just you and your petty revenge. Now scurry on before you say something stupid."

"Pfft, why should I listen to a clan less loser-"

Sasuke immediately dropped to the ground as KI stronger than even Itachi's enveloped him. Looking up, he made the mistake of looking into Kaito's eyes. His normally merry brown eyes were now yellow and slitted. "My clan has contributed more to the history of the world than your pathetic clan of jutsu thieves. I warn you now, insult them or their sacrifice again in front of me or anyone else, I will make sure to FINISH. WHAT. HE. STARTED." Electricity danced on his arms as he glared at the last loyal member of the Uchiha clan. "Now get lost before I vaporize you!" He bellowed, sending Sakura and Sasuke running with a now growing wet spot on his pants. Bring his hands together, he took a deep breath and slowly let it out. Opening his eyes, he turned to the three standing behind him looking at him in awe. "What? Do I have something on my face?"

"SQUEEE!"

GLOMP

"Anko-chan, you did it again."

"Oopsey!"

"Are you going to let go?"

"Not until we get dango!" she sang happily.

Kaito sighed. "Fine."

"Yahoo!"

"You're paying."

"Ahhhh, sensei…."

"You do realize that my head is still between your breasts and that means I am currently immune to your 'Puppy Eyes' no jutsu, right?"

"Damn it!"

(insert line here)

Hiashi looked over a set of papers in his hand once again. "You are positive this will work?"

"Not 100%. After all, no plan survives contact with the enemy or life in general." Hiruzen puffed his pipe. "But given the circumstances, the only real problem I foresee is their transitions. These papers grant them immunity from that wretched thing and will allow Kaito to react accordingly. All in all, you both thought this out very well."

"She married me to get the elders off my and her own backs. If she had a choice, Hinata would more than likely sporting those brown eyes instead of the pale pearls she has now." Hiashi sighed. "I accepted this long ago….but then came Hanabi and Hitomi's coma…"

"About that, I have spoken to Kaito. He said that the effects of the incident should only have deprived her of that skill set for a time, not weaken her so much that she would slip into a coma."

Sarutobi rubbed his chin in thought. 'Is it possible they got a hold of that?' "I will look into it, but the symptoms remind me of something I have not seen since the beginning of the Third Great War. I'll put some feelers out and see what I can dig up. In the meantime, get her things ready." After Hiashi closed the door, the Sandaime grabbed a scroll and hastily wrote out a letter before biting his thumb and running through a 5 seal sequence and placing his palm onto the desk. In a poof of smoke, a lemur with a blazing red bandana wrapped around his neck appeared. "Deliver this to her. Make sure that she replies. She can't resist a challenge."

The monkey cackled lightly, "That she cannot, sir. I'll see to it at once." With a poof of smoke, the lemur reversed summoned himself back to his realm.

'The winds are changing,' Hiruzen thought as he pulled another piece of paperwork from the pile on his desk. "I can hear the hamster wheels turning in your head, Neko-chan. What is on your mind?"

"Is this change going to have reprecussons?" the hidden ANBU asked.

"If I know Kaito well, and I like to think I do, this will shake the tree down to its roots." Sarutobi replied.

(Insert line here)

Kaito cheerfully munched on a bit of dango as Anko glared balefully at him. The reason? He had eaten as much dango as an Akamichi at a barbeque sale. And he was making her pay for it!

"Sensei?"

"Yes, Anko-chan?"

"What are you doing back? Your last letter was almost 5 years ago, and you were in Iwa giving some basic sealing lessons."

Kaito looked at the two children sitting at a nearby booth, talking quietly with themselves as Horus and Kodai watched from their perches while crunching on a bit of a biscuit they had. "I felt I had my power under control. I have a limit, but it's farther than it used to be. And it was time to come home."

"I call bull, sensei." Kaito raised an eyebrow at her. "That is not the only reasons. You only go somewhere if you have 3 reasons to go there or you need something. What's the third?"

Kaito sighed. "Summoner business. The elders are asking what happened to Hitomi and are also requesting I take on an apprentice."

Anko looked shocked. "But sensei, you're not even that old! You're only 30, right?"

Kaito glared slightly at the snake wielder, "I'm 26, Anko, and I know I still have some kick in me and some years ahead of me, but something has them spooked. I have an appointment with the head elder soon, but that's not for another few months."

"I forgot that a dragon's and Uzumaki's sense of time was a tad different than everyone else's." Anko chewed on a dango stick thoughtfully before looking out of the store. "Here comes trouble."

"Oh, what kind?"

"Elder trouble. Danzou's coming in."

Kaito narrowed his eyes as the war hawk entered. The elder did a double take before nodding his head at the Uzumaki, who responded in kind. After Danzou had gotten his meal and left, Anko looked at him. "What was that all about?"

"I've got enough dirt on Danzou for over a dozen felonies and he is slippery enough to know how to combat me. We kind of have a grudging respect for each other." Kaito sipped his tea as his eyes danced around the room.

"Really?" Anko sounded skeptical.

"I respect the man, I don't respect his actions and I definitely don't respect his choices. But in the end, as long as he does not harm my precious people, I leave him alone. With the occasional scaring the crap out of his agents." Kaito made a throwing motion as he stretched and placed his arms behind his head as he sat back in his seat. You could hear some shrieks and a very loud yelp of surprise as he whistled nonchalantly. Anko just shook her head.

"Only you sensei, only you."

"And that is what makes me me." He looked thoughtful before grinning evilly. "Hey, when was the last time you pulled a prank?"

"About last month. Why?"

"Naruto, get your pranking supplies and a list of people on a piece of paper with Hinata-chan! Anko do the same!" His grin turned feral. "It's time for a pranking siege!"

(Insert line here)

A few hours later

Hiruzen was ready to bash his head into the desk in front of him. About 2 hours ago, he had entered the council chambers to finalize the budget for the year, yet it had somehow turned into an all-out 'Uchiha-sama' fest. Give Sasuke this, Give Sasuke that. But it was the last part that had caught his attention.

"Uchiha-sama has notified me today that he attempted to gain several valuable assets from a man and was flat out refused and threatened. This cannot be overlooked and this man must be punished!" the main protester, one portly merchant named Nodako.

"One moment before that, I have an announcement to make-"

"Lord Hokage, We have an emergency!" An ANBU burst into the chambers. "It's horrifying!"

"What is it Tengu?"

"Pranks are being performed everywhere! Tora has been unleashed in the dog pound and the Inuzuka compound and is beating all of the dogs; several anteaters were stolen from the zoo and placed in the Aburame compound! All of the Nara deer in the area have been rounded up and attached to sleighs with a man wearing a long beard and a red and white overcoat, all of the restaurants have had their menus replaced with selections from Ichiraku's and Omoro's; the Akamichi restaurants have had their food spiked with laxities and it was the Akamichi hour," Hiruzen paled at this. That meant the majority of the Akamichi clan was there and had been hit with the prank at full force.

Another ANBU appeared and passed on a message as the full effects were revealed even more. "The walls of the village have been covered in neon orange and indigo paint, the Uchiha district was somehow carpet bombed with balloons full of moldy dango and 3 month old ramen broth. All of the messanger hawks have been painted multicolored and the ANBU HQ…has been paint bombed." This was affirmed when another ANBU, codenamed Bear, appeared in florescent pink and green all over his uniform.

Hiruzen pinched his nose before looking up. "What of the Hyuuga clan and the Yamanaka?"

"Sir, the Yamanaka flower shop had all of their plants for sale replaced with Venus fly traps. As for the Hyuuga compound….."

At the compound

"Look at this!" Kaito exclaimed. Turning, he held what he had found up into the air. "I found a Hyuuga on a stick!"

Indeed he had. Hinata had placed the main branch of the Hyuuga on the list of people to prank. Kaito had noticed this and forbad Naruto and Anko from pranking the clan members, saying that he had a very special prank for them.

Sure enough, with a large branch from a nearby tree, a roll of duct tape and some basic time/space seals, he had a Hyuuga elder on his stick.

"Let me down, commoner! You will pay for this!" It just so happened that it was the head elder, Hideki who was on the stick.

"Blah blahblahblah blah blahblahblah!" Kaito mimicked before laughing uproariously and running off to find Neji. Two seconds later found him running with most of the main branch, which now looked like trees with leaves and twigs sticking out of various places after him, screaming, "I regret nothing!"

Neji had tried to join the chase but he was grabbed from the shadows and was later found hanging from the roof in his underwear and looked like he had seen a ghost. Tattooed on his stomach and forehead was "Fate's little bitch" and a large clown face.

Neji hated clowns.

At the council chambers

The ANBU coughed into his hand after he reported the situation at the Hyuuga compound. The looks on the councils faces was priceless. Everyone had the look of horror mixed with a little laughter. Tsume was all out laughing her ass off while Chouza looked like he needed to take a shit (probably from the Akamichi hour "Meat lovers" special), Shikaku looked annoyed that he would have to round up the deer, Inoichi was crying waterfalls, the majority of the civilians looked like Naruto had taken a huge shit right in front of them, and Hiruzen and Danzou looked amused and annoyed. Hiashi looked out the window behind the civilians to see Kaito and Anko hanging outside with straws. Looking alarmed, he ducked, barely avoiding the barrage of spit balls and one seal that transformed a civilian councilor's clothing into that of a rabid pink Chihuahua. Turning, everyone glimpsed the duo slowly being dragged upwards while saying, "We are ninjaaaaaaaaaaaa….."

"Come on, you two, pedal faster!"

"We're trying, Oji-san, but you both are too heavy!"

"Oi! Try channeling chakra to your legs!"

There was a moment of pause and both suddenly disappeared with a cry of "Oh, shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-"

Hiruzen coughed to get all of their attentions. "As I was saying, Kaito Uzumaki has returned. He is beginning a class in the Academy that all shinobi are required to attend, and will be taking over as Head of the Uzumaki clan here in Konoha."

Immediately the council was in uproar. Hiruzen let them holler and scream for a couple minutes before blasting them all with his formidable KI. "We have blood tests that confirm he is a distant uncle to our own resident Uzumaki and will not take any flak from anyone about his last name."

"Bah, their clan will never be as good as Uchiha-sama's!" Nodako exclaimed.

"Bah, his clan would actually have to do something of value to even have a chance at holding a candle to my clan." Kaito's voice was heard overhead. Everyone looked up to see Naruto, Hinata, Anko, and Kaito peeking out of a vent near the ceiling.

"His clan is elite and is one of the founding clans of Konoha!"

"What did they provide for the village?"

"Huh?"

"What did they provide the village when the village was formed? Really, Hiruzen, how did you have trouble with these asshats? He has the intelligence of a newborn."

"They-They…"

"Did nothing. The Senju had…oops! Almost spilled the lession!" Kaito placed a hand in front of his mouth and made small giggles. "Anyways, we need to go eat before we help clean up. Banzai!" All of them vanished into the duct.

"So, yeah, the Uzumaki is being reinstated and-"

"Lord Hokage, this is an outrage!" Nodako shouted.

"How so?"

"He isn't sane! They both are a menace to society and must be locked up!"

"For what crime?" Hiruzen asked. "Other than trespassing, they have done nothing wrong. And their choice to clean up after themselves is punishment enough. Now shut up and let's wrap this up."

(Insert line here)

Later that night

Naruto slumbered peacefully in his new bed, the moon peeking gently into the room. The sound of the door opening and closing quietly pierces the silence as twin orbs peer at his sleeping form. His hand pulls his night shirt up by accident as he shifts in his sleep, revealing the seal that held Kyuubi. Moving quickly, the figure poked 3 spots on the seal, causing it to glow slightly. 'Alright, Kyuubi, time to talk.'

In a random hotel in Fire Country

A lemur appeared on the night stand near where a blond head, a pig and a dark head rested. Silently, the primate dropped the letter while whispering, "Hiruzen sends his regards, Hime. Something has popped up and it may prove a challenge for you. Ja ne."

As the monkey poofed, honey brown eyes stared at the letter before reaching out and opening it with a single hand, revealing only one sentence:

Find a cure for the Twilight Tonic.

I apologize for the long wait, but with 'A' school ending, moving to my next command and other things, I have not had time to update. That and I kind of got pulled into some games.

I hate to do this to you all, but everything is going on hiatus for the next few months. For the future, when I must go on hiatus, simply look at my profile and it will be the first line at the top.
