On with the story

After a few hours of sitting and chatting, both Sarutobi and Tsume noticed Naru beginning to stir, causing them both to smile lightly. As she slowly opened her eyes, she was greeted by the face of the third Hokage, causing her to smile. "Hey Sarutobi-jiji" she softly said to not hurt her throbbing head, "Hello Naru" he softly replied as Tsume stayed at his desk.

"Jiji, who's that?" Naru softly asked, pointing at Tsume, causing her to laugh softly and Sarutobi to smile. "She's Inuzuka Tsume, and she wants to adopt you" he softly said, causing her eyes to widen, "W-what? A-adopt me?" she asked receiving a nod from both the Hokage and Tsume, "Yes Naru, if you'd like you can come live with me from now on" She said kneeling down while Naru stood up and latched onto her, crying softly out of happiness. Tsume rubbed her back comfortingly, smiling lightly, "O-of course I do" she wept out, not intending to let go anytime soon which caused the other occupants of the room to chuckle softly. "Well, we'll go to your apartment and get your things before heading home, how does that sound?" she asked receiving a nod from the younger girl. As they stood the Hokage called Tsume over, after telling Naru to wait outside the door she walked to him, "Yes Hokage-sama?" she asked as politely as possible as he had let her adopt Naru. "I want you to give this to Naru when she comes of age since you are now her legal guardian" as he said that, he handed her a letter and a box with Naru's name on it.

After Tsume and Naru walked out of the tower, they headed to her apartment, receiving glares and whispers from all the villagers causing Tsume to raise a brow as she saw Naru wasn't affected at all. As Naru walked, one villager went so far as to fling rocks at her and then tell his children to do the same which caused them to pick up their pace. Soon enough, they reached their destination and Naru placed the key in the lock, opening it quickly she walked inside. Ignoring the fact that the window was broken, showing that they had broken in. She also ignored all the writings on the wall saying 'Demon', 'Fox' and 'Killer'. As Tsume was shocked over all of this, Naru walked to the wall behind the couch, undoing a seal revealing her stash of clothes and money. After putting it all into a bag she walked up to the Inuzuka woman, "ready" she said snapping Tsume out of her thoughts. Nodding she put her hand on the blonds shoulder and walked out, deciding to head to Ichiraku's so she could eat. As they walked a group of kids walked up to Naru with the older child leading them all, causing both women to look at them curiously. The older one walked up to her before slamming her foot, causing her to bend over a bit so he could elbow the back of her head, effectively knocking her out. Tsume quickly ushered the rest of the children away before they could start beating on her.

Naru's mindscape

..Dripping. All that could be heard was dripping. And it was driving Naru crazy. As she stood she rubbed her head wincing lightly, "Ouch". She started walking through the sewers that consisted of her mindscape, a loud growling leading her to a particular room which had a large cage with a slip of paper with a kanji for seal on it. Curiously, she walked up to the cage, her gaze being met by a large pare of blood red, slitted eyes. "So kit, you finally came to see me, how nice" the large voice boomed out to her, surprising her before regaining her composure. "W-who are you?" the young blond asked, "I am the mighty Kyuubi no Youko, or, Kyuubi for short" the voice now identified as Kyuubi spoke. "But I thought the Yondaime had defeated you", "Foolish being, no mortal can defeat a demon, all he could do at best was seal me inside a new born child…" he said to be cut off by her, "Me right?" she asked receiving a nod from Kyuubi.

"So kit, as a way of me apologizing and trying to make up for everything you've gone through, I'll help you in your training" he said causing her eyes to shine, "Really?" she asked receiving yet another nod from the fox. "I'll also be giving you the fox summoning scroll, which, like the Inuzuka, will let you have a partner with you at all time. One that best suits your personality, but will also let you summon others" He finished causing her to do something which surprised him. She had walked in the cage and had latched onto his leg, nuzzling her head against it. "Thank you Kyuubi-san" she softly cooed receiving a smile from the animal.

"Don't worry about it. But since I will be giving you so much of my chakra and such, you physical appearance will change. Your canines will grow more pronounced and your nails will become claws. You will also get a tail and some fox ears. Your body will grow a bit to handle the extra chakra as well." He said as he finished his explanation. Surprised again as Naru did not move. "I'll handle it" she said softly, causing him to smile as red chakra started surrounding her before the shock of it all pushing her out of her mindscape.

Back with Tsume

Tsume watched as Naru's normal ears disappeared, being replaced by two golden yellow fox ones on the top of her head. And also as a tail emerged, her claws took shape and as did her canines. Shortly after the changes took place Naru began to stir and finally wake, causing Tsume to smile at her. "Wh-where are we?" the blond softly asked the older woman, "We're home" She said standing in front of the Inuzuka compounds.
