The Guardian of the Leaf and the Hyuuga princess

Chapter 2

Over the course of the weekend, Naruto decided that he would find a way to infiltrate the Hyuuga compound to keep an eye on Hinata even better. He first got the chance to talk to the Hokage after he received the scroll and looked it over. He told the Hokage what has been happening and that Hinata is on a very special list of people to keep safe as well as Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame since those two are two of her special friends. The hokage then had an idea for himself and decided to put those three on the same team. Naruto then thought of the way to get into the Hyuuga compound with Hinata. He waited till Hinata was on her way home before he went just a bit ahead of her and transformed into a chibi kitsune with one tail. He then laid down and pretended to be starving. When Hinata got to where the little fox was she saw it and she immediately went and picked it up and brought it to the compound, cradling it in her arms. When she got home she immediately went to the kitchen and got the little kit some food, which he happily ate, and then headed to her room with the kit in her arms. When she got there she changed and went to bed. When Naruto was sure that Hinata was asleep he snuck out and found his way to Hiashi's office where he was sitting doing some paperwork. He quickly went outside and entered the office through the window. Hiashi was surprised, but when he saw a scroll in the kits mouth he relaxed. He then began reading the scroll.

'Dear Hiashi Hyuuga,

The fox that delivered this scroll to you is not an ordinary fox. It is actually a summons. I have sent it to keep an eye on Hinata. For some odd reason I feel as though I am connected to her in a way but I do not know how. What I want you to do is allow her to keep him and make sure she has him at all times. Suggest to her the name 'Naruto' as a name for the fox since that is his name. Good luck with the plan and good night.'

Signed,

The Guardian

"hmmm, interesting. Very well, you best be finding your way to my daughters room then little one." Hiashi said to the kit that was sitting in his office.

The kit then nodded and headed on his way to Hinata's room. When he got there he went and laid right on top of the bed with Hinata keeping her warm and comfortable.

When Monday finally came around, Hinata was as happy as possible. She had permission from her father to keep the little fox and he even suggested naming it Naruto. Said fox kit was now riding on her shoulders as she walked to the academy. And now today she gets to find out who she is on a team with. The only thing that could make this day bad is if she were on a team with the king of all emos and/or the pink banshee. She really hoped she wouldn't be on a team with them. The pink banshee could easily make a person go deaf and the emo always seemed like he was trying to undress her with his eyes. Luckily nobody knew what she looked like under her jacket except for her father and Naruto.

When Hinata had arrived at the room she went and sat down in her usual seat and waited for the teacher to show up. Naruto seemed to keep an eye on the Uchiha that was in the room and the room seemed to cool off a little bit every time Sasuke decided to try staring at Hinata. Also every time he did try, he could've sworn that he saw the fox on her shoulders glaring at him.

When their instructor finally arrived it seemed to be winter as he saw Sasuke approaching Hinata. When he started to look around to locate the cause of the sudden drop in temperature he spotted the fox on Hinata's shoulders that seemed to be glaring and growling at Sasuke. Iruka finally figured that the fox is sort of protection for Hinata and that it obviously doesn't like Sasuke. It was then that he decided it was time to intervene before Sasuke lost a hand or his nuts.

"Alright everybody, go to your seats." Iruka said and Sasuke slowly turned around and went back to his seat.

"alright now that everyone is calmed down we'll start. Team 1 is…" everyone zoned out until they heard their name.

"…Team 7 is Sakura Haruno, Zaka Hanasho, and Sasuke Uchiha." At that there were three different reactions: a fangirl squeal, an indifferent look, and a look of absolute horror.

"Alright, lets focus again. Team 8 is Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyuuga, and Shino Aburame. Team 9 is still in circulation. Team 10 is Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, and Choji Akimichi. Your Jonin sensei will be here after lunch to pick you up."

With that said, Iruka left the room and all the students went to have lunch. Hinata ate her lunch with Shino and Kiba while Naruto was in her lap just enjoying the comfort. They were talking about anything they could think about when Kiba finally asked about Naruto.

"Hey, Hinata, what's with the fox?"

"A few days ago I found him injured on my way home and he was just so cute I just couldn't leave him there to die."

"True, I might be more of a dog person, but if an animal is injured it is just natural to help it."

"either way, when I brought him home I managed to sneak him in without anybody noticing but my father somehow found out about him by the next morning. My father then said I could keep him and suggested that I name him Naruto. I still don't know why my father would let me keep him but I'm not complaining."

Not too far away there was a woman with long brown hair with a redish hue watching the three new genin. She was thinking about how these three are already a great team.

After all this everyone went back into the academy to wait for their teachers. Once they were all in a man smoking a cigarette named Asuma Sarutobi walked in and called for team 10. Ino, Choji, and Shikamaru followed him out and left the rest in the room. Next a woman with long black hair with a reddish hue named Kurenai Yuhi walked in and called for team 8. Hinata with Naruto, Kiba with Akamaru, and Shino left the room following Kurenai leaving the rest of the kids and a somewhat upset Sasuke in the room.

I'm starting a vote. Should i have team 8 go to wave as backup for team 7 or not?
