3. Konoha's Alliance Revealed

Author's Notes: Due to the fact that my computer is not able to type out some of the Japanese names for the Black Moon Clan, I will be using their English names.

Nighttime: Tsukino Residence

Naruto's shadow clone was in a tree watching a house across the street. A shift in the tree branch he was in drew his attention to the original who landed next to him.

"Anything happen that I should know about?" The original asked looking into the house.

The clone grinned and said "Sis has really been driving mom crazy today. She keeps demanding to have the Silver Crystal and basically tore mom's room apart looking for it. And if some of the screams I heard were accurate she also tried while mom was in the bath. Oh, also, she hypnotized mom's family to make them believe that she's her cousin. Would have gotten mom too but Luna bit her. I'm guessing the pain acted the same way it would against a Genjutsu."

The original nodded at this and then rose an eyebrow.

"And how do you know that they were in the bath one of those times?"

The clone smirked and said "And I quote: Get out of the bath you little monster! This is my soak time!"

Naruto shook his head and said "She's going about this the wrong way. Constantly asking her isn't going to get her that thing."

The clone shrugged but before it could say anything, they heard screaming.

"Ah! Get off you little runt! What are you doing in my bed?"

The clone burst out laughing while the original shook his head.

"It's ten at night! Doesn't she have any common sense?"

The clone got its laughter under control and said "Not likely. If there's one thing Chibiusa is, it's stubborn."

Naruto frowned but he had to admit the clone had that fact down. He was that way too when it came to getting things done. If he didn't get something done the first time, he kept at it until he did even if it killed him.

The original sighed and said "It's going to be a long night."

The clone nodded before it dispelled itself giving the original all of its memories. Once Naruto got all the memories he shook his head again and thought 'yeah, this is going to be a long one.'

Naruto spent the rest of the night in the tree staying in a state of half sleep and half awake that all ninja are trained to enter when in the field. Thankfully, there had been no more screaming that night so Naruto was able to get some sleep.

As the sun rose, it's rays lit up Naruto's face. As soon as he felt the warmth from the sun, Naruto's eyes snapped open and he looked to the east. Smiling at the sun and the fact that it was what woke him up and not screaming, Naruto thought 'Maybe there's hope for her yet.'

Stretching out his arms, Naruto gave a small yawn before he stood up and dropped down to the ground. Landing in a crouch, Naruto took a look around noticing the differences in how the scenery looked between daylight and nighttime. Never know when you would have to know the terrain.

Standing up from his crouch, Naruto's stomach began growling. Getting an amused smile, Naruto looked down at it and said "Didn't I feed you last night before we got here?"

His stomach gave another growl in answer. Naruto chuckled and said "All right, all right, already. We'll grab something from one of the fast food joints in a minute. Yeesh."

Naruto crossed his fingers and a clone appeared. Turning to it, Naruto said "I'm going to get something to eat and look around some more. Keep an eye on Chibiusa but stay hidden. Don't let anyone know who we are. The longer we stay out of our enemy's vision the better even if it's just one more day."

The clone nodded and went into the tree. Naruto walked over to stand on the sidewalk as he pulled an envelope that had come with Pluto's note out of his book bag. Opening it, he counted the money and thought to himself 'I have enough for today and maybe tomorrow if I'm real frugal. After that I need to find some way to get money.'

Nodding to himself, Naruto put the envelope back into his bag and took off to the nearest fast food restaurant.

Hikawa Shrine: 3:00

Naruto got off the bus at the bus stop near the Hikawa Shrine. As he stepped down the driver called out "Are you sure you'll be all right by yourself?"

Naruto turned around and smiled at the old man driving and said "Yeah. I've got family coming here a little later. I'll be fine till they show up. Thanks for asking though and thank you for the ride."

The old man smiled as well and said "Your welcome." As the doors closed Naruto caught "Such a nice young man. So polite."

Naruto's smile got bigger as he thought 'You would be too if you had Kushina-sensei as a foster mother.'

Turning as the bus took off, Naruto's face gained a more serious look as he looked at the entrance of the shrine.

Looking down at his watch, he noted the time and thought 'Half an hour before show time. I better make sure I know where that door is and then get changed. I don't think it would be a good idea letting whoever's coming know who I am when things start getting a bit messy.'

As he reached the top of the stairs, Naruto received a surprise. Standing about fifteen feet away from the entrance was a shrine maiden sweeping the entrance path clear of leaves. But what surprised Naruto was the chakra he was sensing.

Naruto's eyes widened as he thought 'No way. It's barely been a full day and already I've found one of them!'

The shrine maiden looked up from where she was sweeping and when she saw him smiled and said "Hello there. Can I help you with anything?"

Naruto shook his head a couple of times to get his thoughts free from what he had been thinking before smiling as well and said "No ma'am. I simply wanted to look around the shrine a little bit."

The maiden smiled again and said "Ok. Just don't go into any of the buildings if the doors are closed. Those are private."

Naruto nodded and made his way past the maiden taking a turn to the west as he came upon the inside of the main wall.

After Naruto disappeared on the other side of the wall, Rei Hino thought to herself 'There's something strange about him. I feel some kind of strange energy from him. Those whisker marks of his sure are cute though. I wonder how he got them?'

Naruto stopped at the building that had a door facing west. Stepping into line with the door, Naruto looked at the wall. Walking over to it while looking around to make sure no one saw him, Naruto ran a hand over the wall and pushed some chakra into the section he was standing in front of. He saw a faint glow around the level where his eyes were that was rectangular shaped before it disappeared.

Nodding to himself, Naruto turned around and checked again before heading over to the building and jumped onto the roof. Making sure no one could see him from where he was, Naruto then took off his book bag and opened the top before reaching in and pulling out his mask.

A few minutes later as Naruto was finishing tying up his shoe, he sensed some more chakra presences that he recognized.

Narrowing his eyes he thought 'What are the rest of the scouts doing here? And why is Chibiusa with them?'

Glancing at his watch and noticing that he had about fifteen minutes before the mark would appear on the wall, Naruto made a quick decision and roof hopped over to where he sensed the presences.

He landed on the central building and nodded to the clone who was next to him who dispelled giving the original it's memories. Naruto sifted through them and when he was done noticed that Chibiusa's chakra signature was outside while the other five signatures were inside. Focusing chakra into one of his ears, Naruto leaned down placed his ear on the roof.

Listening in on the conversation, Naruto smirked and thought 'so she made a few fake photos huh? Not a bad idea, but I'm afraid fakes will only make a priestess more suspicious.'

After Naruto listened in on the rest of the conversation in the fire hall, he took off back to the west wall. Landing on the ground, Naruto saw the brick shape from earlier in the wall glow a bright blue before a yellow crescent moon on the front of the section appeared before it slid out and dropped to the floor.

Naruto walked over to the now revealed secret compartment and reached in. when he took the key outside he found a note.

'Don't go to the light, head to the roofs after one minute?' Naruto thought in confusion as he looked at the note before a bright light shot up into the sky behind him. Turning around, Naruto's eyes widened as he felt the crescent moon mark on his forehead appear as it reacted to his twin's distress.

'That's the moon beam! What the hell is going on over there?'

Naruto looked down back at the note and frowned. Pocketing the note, Naruto leaned down and picked up the block before sliding it back into the wall where it looked like it had never been touched.

Turning back to where he could see the light, Naruto thought 'I hope you know what your doing Pluto.'

After the minute was up, the beam faded and Naruto took to the rooftops honing in on his sister's signature.

As he got there he heard "Finally tracked you down moon brat. Wasn't easy."

Naruto frowned as he heard his mother ask who the owner of the voice was and what did she want.

'I'm going to have to talk to her about controlling that light show of hers. It led them straight to her.'

Naruto then sweat dropped as he heard the comment about the woman's tutu. Looking over the roof he was on opposite of the building the others were in, Naruto rose an eyebrow at how the threat was dressed.

'That tutu isn't the only thing out of style.' Naruto thought while twitching at the purple haired lady's choice of clothes.

Naruto then heard the woman introduce herself as Catzi of the Black Moon Clan from the Negaverse.

Frowning he thought 'Negaverse? Didn't Pluto tell Minato-sensei mom had dealt with them before? I would have thought they would have learned their lesson the first time after she defeated Beryl.'

Naruto was drawn out of his thoughts as he heard "Get back here!' Naruto saw Chibiusa shoot out of the house and take off running with the lady right after her.

Narrowing his eyes, Naruto thought 'Uh-uh. You are not getting my sister!' before taking off along the roof tops to get to her before her assailant.

As Naruto caught up to them, he saw Catzi launch a fire attack at Chibiusa. Naruto pumped as much chakra into his legs as he dared and grabbed her bridal style before leaping up onto the roof on the other side.

Catzi's head jerked up as her eyes widened and said "What?"

Naruto smirked at her expression and said "Come now, Catzi, was it? Surely you didn't think Konoha wouldn't send help to its ally did you?"

Chibiusa looked up from her position and looked at the fox mask with a crescent moon mark on the forehead wondering who it was who had saved her.

Sailor Moon landed next to him and said "Great job, but who are you and what is Konoha, and what do you mean ally?"

Naruto glanced over at his transformed mother and said as he was putting down his sister "Later. For now we have some business to take care of."

Catzi meanwhile was looking at Sailor Moon and said "Who are you? And who does your hair?"

Naruto sweat dropped at the hair comment which only got bigger as he listened to his mother's speech.

'I'm actually related to that?' Naruto thought as he finally took notice of what his mother was currently wearing. Combined with the sailor outfit and his mother's speech about beautiful protector of the moon, justice, and love, the shinobi trained blond was beginning to question how her enemies didn't die from laughter. (Before you say anything about him having seen Pluto so would know what to expect, he only knows about her. He hasn't actually met her yet.)

He was drawn out of his thoughts when Catzi said something to Sailor Moon and then launched a wall of fire at them.

The two girls screamed as the fire came at them while Naruto formed hand signs.

"Water Style: Water Bullet Jutsu!"

Shots of water came out of a slit in the mask where Naruto's mouth was and burst through the fire wall before continuing on and hit Catzi in the face hurling her to the ground.

Turning to the two girls that were by his side he said "Get a hold of yourselves! This isn't some haunted house where you can just lose yourself and scream! This is a combat situation!" He pointed at Sailor Moon and said "And your supposed to be used to this by now! How many fights have you been in, and you still freeze up? I would have thought the soldier of the moon would have had more control over herself!"

The girls looked at him like they were about to cry, but before they could start, Catzi got up and felt the bruise on their face. Getting angry, she shouted out "You ruined my face! I'm going to kill you!"

Naruto turned his head to look at her and said "Ruined? Please lady, I only made your face match your outfit."

Sailor Moon and Chibiusa snorted and began laughing while Catzi got even angrier and shouted "That does it!"

But just as she was making the motions to launch another fire attack, a rose shot across her arm and stabbed into the ground.

Naruto rose an eyebrow and thought 'A rose? What kind of throwing weapon is that? Still guess it was effective enough now who threw that?'

Naruto's eye began twitching full storm as he followed the flight path and saw a black haired man in a tuxedo with a top hat on and a white mask over his face.

Naruto slapped a hand over his mask and thought 'Please tell me that isn't my father!'

He just barely registered the conversation between Catzi, Sailor Moon, and the now introduced Tuxedo Max.

He finally couldn't take anymore and shouted out "What the hell is wrong with you people?"

Everyone looked at him and he began pointing as he started ranting "You! You are a purple cat suit tutu wearing freak who is more worried about her looks than anything else! Hello! Cat suit? Tutu? How in any way is that a way to dress? How the hell can you show yourself in public? If Kushina-sensei saw anyone wearing that she would have knocked them out with her sword and carted her off to the hospital to get that person's head checked! And you! A tuxedo and top hat during a combat situation? Give me a break! How the hell do you expect to fight in a tuxedo? No wait, a better question is how often to you rip that thing? And finally, you! You were supposed to have saved the world in a MINISKIRT? Oh yeah, sure, it's a lot more comfortable to move around in than a tuxedo, but a MINISKIRT? My god, is every hero and villain insane? If you guys showed up in Konoha dressed like that, we would have tied you up and tossed you over to Kiri! Then we'd see how you guys handled the real world wouldn't we?"

Naruto was panting a little as he finished speaking while everyone simply stared. Naruto shook his head and said "Sorry about that, but I really needed to get that off my chest. Now then, where were we?"

Naruto turned to fully face Catzi and said "Oh yeah, now I remember, I was about to kick your rear end to the next century!"

Naruto's hands went into the familiar cross shape as he called out "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

To everyone's shock, two clones appeared side by side next to the original before all three began making hand signs. Right after they finished, the clones leaned back before shouting out "Wind Style: Wind Bullet Jutsu!/Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" Right after they said their attacks, Two air bullets shot out before being joined by a fireball which combined with the wind to double in size.

Catzi's eyes widened as the fireball slammed into her. She flew out of the resulting cloud of smoke and bounced on the ground smoking. Her outfit was completely ruined with burns all over her body and her hair had an ember or two still burning in her hair.

Naruto smirked as he felt four more signatures coming up behind him.

"You girls sure took your time getting here." Naruto said not looking back.

"Whoa." Sailor Venus said as she and the rest of the Sailor Scouts looked over at where Catzi was shakily getting back up.

Catzi growled once she was standing and said "I don't know who you are, but mark my words, you will pay." She then disappeared in a swirl of fire.

Naruto shook his head and began to walk away. But before he got too far he heard one of the girls call out.

"Wait! Who are you? And why do you have the Moon Kingdom symbol on your mask?"

Naruto turned back around and looked at the group in front of him. Cocking his head to the side he said "Who am I? Well I guess for now you can call me Moon Fox. It describes me enough for right now I guess. As for the mark on my mask, Konoha is an ally to the Moon Kingdom. As I was the one they sent to help out our ally, we thought it would be appropriate to put it there."

"Ally? What do you mean? And where's Konoha? It's no place I've heard of." Mercury asked.

Naruto smirked and said "You wouldn't know where it is. After all, it's pretty well hidden right now. And as for what I mean by ally, well think about where the princess is from and you'll understand."

"Princess? Do you mean Princess Serenity?" Mars asked.

Naruto shook his head and said "I'm afraid I can't say anymore. For now just know that I'll give you girls a hand when I can."

And before they could ask anymore questions he made a hand sign and disappeared in a swirl of wind and leaves.

As the leaves landed on the ground, Jupiter shook herself from her surprise and said "Just who was that kid?"

Mercury shook her head and said "I don't know, but I really hope he stays on our side."

Ten minutes later the group of girls were walking down the stairs. The scouts had run off in order to change back and had then acted out making a big fuss of finding Chibiusa. Tuxedo Mask had run off somewhere as well but had not come back.

As the girls were walking away from the stairs they heard a shout.

"Hey Chibiusa!"

Turning around, Chibiusa's eyes widened as a blond she recognized came running down the stairs and hugged her.

'It's that kid from before. But how does he know Chibiusa?' Rei thought.

Chibiusa got over her shock and instantly wrapped her hands around the blond and returned the hug.

As the two separated Chibiusa looked at Naruto in confusion and said "Naruto? What are you doing here?"

Naruto grinned and said "Mom and Dad were worried so they asked me to come here and keep you out of trouble. They apologize for not being able to come themselves as well."

Turning to the girls he bowed and said "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Naruto Tsukino and I'm Chibiusa's twin brother."

The girls all got wide eyes and all said at the same time "Twin Brother?"

Naruto rose from his bow and said "And you must be Usagi, am I correct? Chibiusa has told me so much about you when she visited last time. I'm glad to finally meet you myself."

Usagi was looking between Naruto and Chibiusa in confusion while saying "Uh, yeah. Nice to meet you as well."

After a few minutes of talking with the rest of the girls, Usagi, Chibiusa, and Naruto began walking to Usagi's house. As they walked, Naruto tightened the straps on his book bag where inside was a mask of a fox with a crescent moon on its forehead.
