Summary: Chased out of the village at the age of 5 a boy must survive in the wild as an animal but will he survive and return, as a human? Or a monster?

All right I'm getting a lot of mixed reviews, some people want a harem and other's don't when I said Harem I meant HAREM!!! But I might change it if I get enough votes from people who just want this to be a single relationship. So here's the new poll with the old poll still.

HAREM!!!

Sakura 2 (Wow... Lot of hatred)

Ino 1

TenTen 3

Temari 3

Anko 3

Hinata 2

Hinata 1

Sakura 0

TenTen 0

Temari 0

Those are the results. Anyway here's the next chapter of the story. Enjoy and get more people to read this somehow, and to put more votes into it.


Chapter 4
Chance

Sarutob examined the boy, as the boy approached slowly. He heard the boy sniff again, Sarutobi moved closer making sure that his face came into the light. The boy froze when he saw his face, then he pounced "Old-man!" he cried. Sarutobi fell back in surprise as the boy pounced on him with inhuman speed and strength. The boy's tail was waving in the air like a dog that had found it's favorite toy again, and his face was pressed against the Sandaime's neck.

Naruto was sitting near the back of the cave wall slurping up his 2nd bowl of ramen. Sarutobi was also eating some ramen, and he had to admit ramen tasted good when there was other's to enjoy it. He looked to his right, where the scroll was currently lying, he had packed 15 ramen bowls into it, he looked at it sheepish, 'To think that a sealing technique was used as a transportaion device, how embarrasing.' He looked back at the hairy blonde, and smiled, as the boy reached for another bowl and start devouring that too. "Naruto," the boy looked up, ramen noodles trailing from his mouth, he slurped noodles swallowing quickly. He cocked his head to one side his eye's questioning. Sarutobi sighed, the put down his unfinished ramen bowl, and put his fingers together in a tent-like formation. He looked at the boy, "I would like for you to come back to Konoha earlier than what the Fourth originally planned..."

Naruto didn't respond but his tail stood straight and it was much bushier than usual and his fur was standing on end slightly. 'Konoha? Return? Hate? Hate lives there, Hate breeds there... but I want to be with others, I want to live, I need to live. Why now though? Why is he forcing me!' he then started to shake, "no..." He looked up to see the old man look at him pityingly. "Naruto, if you wish to be accepted into the village again you will have to start now... and start small..." the boy's eye's, were filled with fear, confusion, hope, and anger. Sarutobi smiled, "If this will make you any happier you will be staying with Iruka, while you stay in the village. How's that sound?" The boy looked confused slightly, "Iru-ka?" Sarutobi's smile lessened slightly. 'Ah, I see now... since he hasn't had any visitors in a long time he has been forgetting them... This is his chance to rekindle old friendships, and new ones...' Sarutobi stood up, "Come now, I will set everything up, I suppose you still know the Transformation Jutsu?" Naruto looked confused, "Like this" Sarutobi went through a few seals, then he poofed, a monkey appeared where Sarutobi stood. Naruto blinked then he leapt back hissing, his fur on end, "Oi! It's me!" Naruto blinked again then he approached cautiously.

Those signs the old man made were oddly... familiar, though he tried hard to remember he found he couldn't. Then the old man dissapeared in a white cloud and there was something else there. The smoke cleared to reveal... a monkey? Wait, monkey! Naruto leapt back hissing at the monkey. Naruto was surprised when he heard the monkey speak, after all monkey's didn't speak... or did they? He approached cautiously, watching the monkey with wary eye's. When Naruto was 3 ft from the monkey he stoppped, and sniffed, and was surprise to find that the monkey smelled just like the old man did. "Old man?" the monkey smiled then nodded, Naruto looked at him, then he saw the symbols again, in his head, and the shape of a fox appear in his head. He held up his clawed hands to his face, he then brought them together slowly hesitantly to make the first seal. He then put his hands to make the next seal and the last, then he said "Transform!" and poof.

The monkey watched as the boy made the seals, he smiled when the boy became a fox, a golden furred fox, however what might of been chilling was how close the fox resembled kyubi, one just need to give him more tails, black markings on his eye's, make him larger, murderous, and blood red fur. Bam! Instant kyubi, but this was Naruto not the demon of long ago, this was an innocent boy, made wild by time, the forest, and solitude. He returned to normal while Naruto stayed in his fox form, looking up at Sarutobi, he opened his mouth but no sound came out. Naruto, looked puzzled then tried again, all that could be heard was a gurgling sound, then he shut his mouth. Naruto looked at his paws, they looked more like hands then paws but most wouldn't pay attention to that detail, hopefully. Sarutobi sighed then he walked forward and bent down to pick up the fox. Naruto was surprisingly light, he squirmed slightly, then he seemed to get into a comfertable position, he looked up at the Sandaime, with bright blue eye's, that were slightly creased vertically. He leaned forward and licked the Sandaime's cheek, before closing his eye's nuzzling against the old man's chest before drifting off to sleep. Sarutobi smiled, then he walked out of the cave with Naruto, he then looked into the sky, and said "Maybe now, he has a chance..." and vanished.
