Chapter 2, Kitsunes Offer

Naruto had arrived at the training ground behind the Hokage monument. He discovered it a couple of years ago, after being chased by a mob, which had been stopped by ANBU. When Naruto first found to training ground it was in disrepair. No one had been there for a long time, so Naruto claimed it as his personal training ground and fixed it up with some not-so-secret help of some ANBU.

Naruto took off his kunai and shuriken holster and the rest of his gear and did some warm up stretches before running around the training grounds for a few laps.

The shadow watched from a high branch as the blonde boy did his laps, 'Interesting' thought the shadow thought with a smirk.

===An hour later====

A tired naruto sat on the grass resting after target practice, 'I still need to get faster and better aim I only got 6 hits out of 10'

"You know if you were weights you would get faster." Naruto jumped at the voice and searched the tree line for the person it came from. "I don't know about the aiming part, maybe your focusing too hard". Continued the voice.

"Whose there! Come out and show yourself!" Naruto said as he jumped up, getting into a wobbly defensive stance with a kunai in his hand, still searching the tree line.

"Who taught you taijutsu?" said the voice still not coming out.

Naruto bristled at his request being ignored. "…..Mizuki-sensei, why?" he said after a moment.

"Because it's off, you won't get a good hit in if you continue to use that wobbly style, it's the same with your throwing style.. let me guess the Mizuki taught you that too?" the voice said in a calm, curious tone.

Naruto looked stunned at the calm voice. "umm yeah he taught me that too, how'd you know?" naruto said relaxing his stance.

The voice sighed in pity "kid I think this Mizuki guy sabotaged your training".

"What! But-I" Naruto fell back to sit on the grass. "all that hard work was for NOTHING!" he yelled as he cupped his face in his hands, then started pulling his hair in frustration. "I'm going to have to learn it all over again! Everything!, damn it all!" he yelled.

The voice slightly amused "you know I could teach you all you need to know before you meet your Jonin sensei, from what I heard he won't be back for two weeks or more plenty of time to catch you up on what you need to know and a lot of training, so you can get better"

Naruto looked up suspiciously, "and how do I know your aren't just like Mizuki-teme? You could make me worse!" the blonde stated glaring at a tree he deemed the voice to be hiding behind.

"Caution that's a good quality a ninja should have" the voice complemented "and I wouldn't do that I've got no reason to sabotage your training" the voice said.

Naruto blushed at the complement and rubbed the back of his head. "If you have no reason to sabotage me then why help me at all?" Naruto asked curiously.

The voice chuckled "your amusing, and seem talented, even if your training was sabotaged, and determined, which I admire, I would enjoy teaching a student like you".

Naruto ducted his head to hide his blush from the compliment and smiled softly. He jerked up at the soft brush on his cheek, and stared. In front of him was a cat sized redish-orange fox. "No need to be so shy young one" he heard again. He continued to stare 'I think I'm going crazy' thought the blonde; he jumped when the fox snickered. "I can assure you you're not going 'crazy'" said the voice as the foxes tails twitched. Yes you heard right 'tails' 2 of them. Naruto pinched his arm "OW! Ok, not a dream, are you-".

"Yes Im the one talking. Are you surprised?" the fox asked scratching his furry ear with his hind leg.

"well uh.. yeah a-are you a demon?" the blonde said backing away slightly.

The fox stopped then looked at the blond curiously "well yes I'm a demon, have you meet any other animals that could talk and have more than one tail? The fox asks calmly. with a tilt of his head added "are you afraid? I can assure you I'm not going to eat you" the fox chuckled "I prefer rabbits, although squirrels are tasty too, but are harder to catch" "the little nut crazed bastards" the fox muttered the last part.

Naruto sat their staring at the fox, and then chuckled at the mutter. "so you're not here to attack me?" he asked a minute later. The fox looked at him calmly "no I was just around and you calt my interest, besides I wouldn't have ask if you wanted me to train you if I was going to attack you, now would I?" he said.

The blonde gave an embarrassed laugh "I guess not…um what was your name again?" he said scratching his whiskered cheek.

The fox chuckled again "do not worry young one o havn't told you my name yet, so I believe some introductions are in order, don't you?" Naruto nodded. "the fox sat up straight and said "my name is 'Godai no Kitsune'" (AN: Element fox…. I think if I'm wrong correct me.)

Naruto sat up straighter and leaned in a little to get closer " my name is Naruto Uzumaki! Ttetbyo! (AN: did I spell that right?) the blonde said with a foxy grin.

"Well young one do you want the training?" he asked with a small smile. His only answer. Narutos grin got bigger. And that was all the answer he needed.

Another chapter done. How was that? tell me what cha think!
