Oiy! Wau! I had no idea my writing would be so... popular, in only a few hours. I have decided that I will most likely post medium-length chapters, often, and update when ever I have a computer.
I have no Beta/ sub-author, so all mistakes are mine. I also found a way to fix the formatting on the computer- sorry about the messy first Chapter, it was the computers fault! And now, I have a way to bold things and Italics stuff, so way me! Wow, I love this!
OIY! And make sure to Review! i want to know what you think!
~~~~~~ Chapter 3 ~~~~ Play Time ~~~~~~~~~
Naruto sat quietly on the swing, watching the rest of the students get congratulations. After a seal disrupted his clones, Iruka and Mizuki had failed to pass him onto Genin. Even though he knew it was a set up, it still hurt to know that none of his 'friends' came to offer support. Even the voice, Kyu-sama, was quiet, and Chigatto was no where in sight.
Naruto sighed, and pressed his forehead against the rope holding up his seat. "Aw, man... what am I supposed to do now?" He whined, looking on as a group of teenagers whispered, glancing at him. They where acting as if he wouldn't notice the glares, giggle, and sneers. Naruto sighed, and sat back, adjusting his blank headband.
When he finished, he was greeted with the sight of Mizuki-"Sensei" beaming at him expectantly.
'Bingo.'
Time Skip- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Naruto bounced through the foliage energetically, a large scroll strapped to his back. This was it. This was the moment he had waited so long to get to. Be a ninja, catch a traitor- and learn some cool new moves!
He cackled with anticipation, jumping from branch to branch as fast as humanly possible. He was so close-!
He leaps down into the 'designated' clearing with a muffled 'tump!' It was empty- a fact he decided to take advantage of as soon as possible. With another maniacal laugh, he plopped down in the center, whipping out the large parchment from his back.
He curled his legs under him, and unrolled it with a flourish, to reveal...
"What the heck?!" He cried in horror at the humongous amount of writing revealed. "How am I supposed to learn all this in a few minutes?!"
He scowled in anger at the columns of words in front of him. "Fine, I'll start with the first one, then!"
He leaned closer until his nose was almost touching the paper, squinting at the name. "Shadow clone jutsu... aw, man." He sniffed unhappily, and rubbed his nose.
"Would you like some help, Naru-chan?" A familiar voice said quietly behind him. Naruto blinked, and twisted his head to peer at the new-comer.
A girl about his age was crouching next to him, blond hair coming to her shoulders, and bright blue eyes sparkling at him, with a small paw-print on her left cheek. If you saw them, you would swear they were twins.
"Chigatto?!" Naruto cried out in suprise, "What?!"
Said 'girl' beamed at him, and patted his head. "What? You honestly expected me to help you without using Blood Cut: Vixen Transformation?" She giggled at him, and plopped down next to him.
"I'm kitsune! Master of trickery and pranks! And you thought I would have you learn all those jutsu, one after another?" Chigatto whined, faking a pout. Naruto would have face planted, if it was not for the fact that was hard to do while sitting down. As it was, he sweat-dropped, soaking the collar of his new outfit.
"Yeah, kind of." He mumbled, laying the scroll in front of her. "What am I supposed to do, nee-san? It's so hard," He whined unhappily, "and I have hardly any time." He crossed his arms, and took his turn to pout at his 'sister' unhappily. Why was it that all the good moves took forever to learn?
Chigatto took pity on him. She blew a raspberry at him, and picked up the scroll to read it.
"Okay! ... Um... Multiple Shadow Replication, Exploding clones, Weapon Multiplication, Bodily Transformation, and... something that looks like a spiral ball are the first up!" She closed the scroll happily, and leapt to her feet, leaving a baffled Naruto behind. She dumped the Scroll onto the ground unceremoniously, oblivious to the muddy ground. "Right! Lets go Kitsune on it!" She cried, immediately brightening Naruto's attitude. They both let out a whoop, and gave each other a hive-five.
Positioning themselves on either side of the scroll, they spread their legs apart some, and started to riffling through hand symbols. After a few seconds of this, they both clapped their hands, and planted them on the Scroll.
Two voices rang out into the voices as a two bright lights erupted from the clearing, one red, one white.
"White Fox Style: Double Document Knowledge Transfer!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Outside of the Village ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Iruka looked up as a bright light erupted from the place he was heading. A suffocating feeling washed over him, carrying foreboding, like a smell of death.
'Naruto, what have you done now?'
Pov Change- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Back in the Clearing - - - - - - - - - - - -
He picked up the speed, sprinting rapidly through the forest as the two lights faded.
The two trouble makes were occupied at the moment. Laying spread eagle with their backs to the ground, they let out ragged gasps.
"Lets- gasp- never, ever -Wheeze!- do that again anytime soon, dattabayo." Naruto managed, though Chigatto only managed to nod mutely. There was a muffled poof, and smoke surrounded the blond teenager. A wind made itself known, and quickly dispelled it.
In a small crater where Chigatto was, a white fox was laying down, covering it's head with it's paws.
"I think I got a headache." She moaned quietly. "That's how much I love you, bro." Naruto grinned weakly at her, and pushed himself up by his elbows.
"Ehn, why did it hurt so much? I even got scratches, dattabayo!" He stumbled over to the scroll, and picked it up. "Why did we have to go through with that if we only learned six? And what was with the Body transformation- we could already do that!" He whined.
Chigatto staggered over to him, still wheezing. "If you... want to go... around, shouting -cough- 'Kitsune Jutsu!' with Kyu, be my guest." She clawed at his shoe impatiently. "Now pick me up, and put me on your shoulder I wanna nap."
Naruto laughed, and bent down to scoop her up into a hug.
"Oiy, Naruto!" Hissed Iruka from behind him, startling the two bandits from their moment. Naruto spun around with a gasp, coming face-to-face with his sensei.
"AW, man!" Naruto whined, along with a whimper from Ochigatto. "I got caught? I only just started..."
'You tried to learn a technique, Naruto?' Iruka looked down at the hyper-active blond, who was beaming up at him.
"Iruka! I'm gonna show you a great technique, and then you'll let me graduate, dattabayo!" Naruto crowed. "If i can do a technique from this scroll, I can graduate, right?!"
'Laying it on thick, kit. You know it was a lie...'
Kyuubi murmured, shaking his head.
Iruka froze. "Wh-Who told you that?!" He breathed in horror, not believing his ears.
"Misuki did! He told me about the scroll, and this... place..." He trailed off, staring at the stricken face of his teacher. Suddenly, Naruto heard a whooshing sound from behind Iruka. His Sensei slammed his palm into Naruto's chest, sending him spiraling away with a cry. He crashed into the ground as kunai zipped towards his teacher
"Iruka?" A voice purred from the brush. Mizuki landed on a branch in a show-off fashion, practically striking a pose. "I'm surprised you found out about this place." He sneered, then turned his attention to the boy. "Naruto, hand over the scroll."
"N-nani?!" Naruto cried. He shot up from his prone positioning.
When Iruka told him not to hand it to him, and he was using him, blah, blah, Naruto seriously had to stop himself from giving him a 'yeah, duh' look. It was only when Mizuki said something about a rule that he took intrest.
"A rule that was created twelve years ago, after the incident. A rule that only you, Naruto, cannot find out about. A rule not to say that you, Naruto, are holding the Nine Tailed Fox inside of you!"
Naruto's fist tightened, and his eyes dropped to the ground. He heard Iruka yell something, but he didn't catch what he said. Naruto smirked as Mizuki continued ranting.
"Don't you think it was weird everyone hated you, Naruto?" He sneered. Mizuki was sure he had the boy now. Naruto's gaze had dropped, and his hands bunched into first. Iruka, you could see, was devestated.
"That's... it?" Naruto asked quietly. He raised his gaze to meet Mizuki's eyes. Amusement, plain as day, on both Naruto's and the Kitsune's face. "All this time, I thought you were going to tell me something I didn't know, Mizuki "Sensei." " He sneered, the last word a mock. Chigatto squirmed out of his grasp, and landed a few feet away.
She went, unnoticed, to Iruka's side. It was not until she smacked him on the leg did he see her- and, by that time, it was too late. "
"White Fox Art: Sleeping Mind Erase" She said, the words ringing in the air. Iruka's legs folding under him, and he collapsed in a heap.
"What!" Mizuki cried, staring at the kitsune as it calmly walked back to it's companions side. Naruto sneered back up at him.
"Going too fast for you, Mizuki? Do you still need to grasp what I said? I already know about Kyuubi." Naruto's voice took on a gravely quality. His whisker marks thickened considerably as is spiky golden hair took on crimson highlights. "In fact, I've talked to him. And now, he wants to 'Play.' "
Mizuki let out a blood curdling howl of pain as red chakra wrapped around our young 'hero.' The man's hands came up, and started frantically clawing at his eyes. Naruto sneered, and shot up the tree after him. He clamped a hand on his shoulder with a huge, feral grin. "Don't kill yourself yet, Mizuki! I want to have the honors!" He cackled, heaving the older man off of his feet, and lobbed him into the shed. He jumped down as the dust caused from the impact cleared. He calmly strolled over to the traitor.
He looked down at his former sensei, curled up into a fetal position. He scowled down at him, displeased. "You're pathetic." He hissed down at the man. He gave a swift kick to the groin area, for good measures. He watched in disgust as the former leaf-nin lost consciousness, the red chakra fading away completely.
Naruto let out a low groan, and fell to his knees. "Ouch..." He moaned. Using the Kyuubi's chakra really took a lot out of him. Small chakra-burns made themselves known on his arms by throbbing. "My new outfit..." was whined, as the speaker visibly deflated. "It's muddy and cut and stained."
"Suck it up." Chigatto grunted from her spot next to Iruka. "I made to cover all that up after cast those three other jutsu. Hello? Transformation, The scroll thing, and Iruka, remember? Come wake him up."
Naruto sighed, and crawled over to one of the only human beings who cared for him. "Iruka... sensei..." Naruto murmured, gently pushing against his shoulder. "Come on, wake up. Wakey-wakey..." Suddenly, the blue eyes sparkled as a lightbulb appeared. "Iruka." The prankster whispered ominously. "If you don't wake up I'm gonna show everyone the picture I took during the Hokage's birthday~" He sang gleefully.
Iruka twitched, but otherwise did not respond. Chigatto groaned. "Fine, I'll carry him, then. Naruto, lend me some chakra." She waved her tail over to him with a pointed look.
"But I might...:" Naruto started, but reached to grab the tail anyway. "...pass out, I don't have much." He finished quietly.
"I'll carry you, too." Chigatto promised, mustering all the chakra she could. Thinking she had enough, she called out to it, and used the jutsu.
The clearing erupted into smoke as a small explosion of power flowed out, throwing out dust and shrapnel. Two glowing gold eyes set their gaze on the leaf village as the fumes twisted and writhed around the figure ominously.

Nikushimi: That's a wrap, ne!
Chigatto: Eh?! Who are you?!
Nikushimi: Oh! Why, I'm you! Or, who will soon be what the ningen think you are! But I won't say to much- that's for the next chapter. That should be up by... oh, maybe tomorrow, or the next day.
Chigatto: Excuse us as I go beat up my counter-part...
Nikushimi: N-Nani?! Stay away from me, you sicko!
Thanks for reading so far!
