Here's chapter 3 of The Kitsune Ninja. Unfortunately, Tuesday became a work day, so I'm typing this earlier on a different device. I'm liking how my story is going so far, even though I'd like to be able to write longer chapters soon. Friday will be my day off this week, so the next guarantee might be Friday if I get enough reviews to continue the plot. Details in the ending author note.

"Now that you're comfortable shifting, we can train you in using your powers to fight."
For the past few days, Naruto practiced shifting until it became almost second nature to him. His training before only focused on human skills, which means that his Kitsune skills are under par for his age. Sure he has good instincts and the Fox helping him, but he was human-taught up until now. The prospect of learning new skills excites Naruto, as it would give him an edge over normal people. Despite his affliction, he still yearns to become a Shinobi. The first thing they do is transform into their Kitsune forms. Naruto's form looks normal compared to what V looks like.
In Kitsune form, V's fur takes on an almost intangible quality, appearing as though it were made of shadows and light. The right side of his face is mostly black with a glowing green eye, while the left side of his face is mostly white with a bright silver eye. His body has constantly shifting patterns of black and white, and shadows and light drift off his fur like an aura. Nine tails sway behind him, each one with a different pattern and amount of black and white. One tail has a permanently blackened tip, and another has a permanently white tip. This is his main Kitsune form, the Tao Shift.
"Every Kitsune has its own specialties and attributes. My attributes are Light and Dark. Based on what you've told me, you'll likely have Wind and Fire attributes." V waves a tail, conjuring a shadow construct in the shape of a training dummy. Naruto quickly understands what they're going to be doing, and begins training to access at least one of his attributes.

Naruto's training is finally complete for now, with him having a good grasp on the techniques that V was able to teach him. From here, it's all up to Naruto to discover his full potential. His original purpose for leaving Konoha no longer applies, as now that he can become human, Naruto no longer has to hide under layers of clothes and bandages to go out in the village. However, he still doesn't want to return to his family yet.
"Could I stay with you?" Naruto looks at the older Kitsune pleadingly. V sighs, looking at the boy with a knowing look. "You wouldn't be able to become a Ninja without attending an academy or finding a Ninja to learn from. I may have been able to teach you the basics, but that's as far as my skill goes. The decision is yours to make, but if it makes you feel better, I'll accompany you wherever you decide to go from here."

I'm ending it here for this chapter. I want to know where you all would like Naruto and V to go next. They can either go to Wave, Mist, or Konoha. If they go to Mist first, they'll be involved in the war there. For Wave, it would be a quick removal of Gato from power. For Konoha, it would be Naruto attending the academy and V becoming his mentor to justify being included in whatever team Naruto ends up on. Also, the Uchiha stuff won't turn out the same way, so no brooding Sasuke.
Review with your choice of destinations. Be warned, I'm not that familiar with the Mist war beyond what I've read in fanfictions, so I'll be improvising a lot for that one if it's chosen.
