CHAPTER: 3 A Day To Enjoy

The third Hokage had been idly gazing out the window contemplating what to do should the boy on the table ever awaken when all of a sudden, Naruto's entire body had rocketed out of bed. Had the Hokage been anything other than the trained ninja he was, he would have fallen out of his chair.

The boy's eye's were narrowed furiously and tinted a dangerous shade of bloody red. The Hokage stood, alarmed, and not knowing what to expect.

"Naruto," he called cautiously, "is that you?"

Naruto turned his attention towards the Hokage as his eyes slowly reverted to a gentle blue, "Of course it's me. Who else would it be?" Naruto said giving a big smile toward the Hokage,"Jeez, You're getting old Grandpa-Hokage."

The old Hokage gave a simple smile and hugged Naruto warmly, giving a sigh of relief. This action shocked Naruto; while he knew the Hokage didn't hate him like the villagers did, the Hokage had never been one to show affection either. He hugged the old man back awkwardly, unfamiliar with human contact.

"Naruto are you sure you're alright" the Hokage asked pulling away and looking at Naruto's eyes once again.

"yea-" before Naruto could finish his stomach stopped him mid-sentence as it growled and Naruto gripped it tightly. It had been awhile before he ate anything. The last thing he ate was a cup of Ramen that hit in the head as he was walking home. He usually didn't have enough money to buy his own at the Ramen stand so it was usually finding something in the trash or an apple if he could find one.

"Sounds to me like you're hungry, Naruto what would you like" the old Hokage spoke laughing a little while scratching his beard.

"Ramen!" Naruto nearly shouted enthusiastically. The Kyuubi talk could wait. Ramen was much more important. Whenever there were leftovers at the Ramen stand though, Ayame, the owner's daughter, would always give him some. That's probably why he enjoyed ramen so much—because they were among the few people to show him kindness (that and the fact that ramen was delicious).

"Sure Naruto is there anything else" The Hokage said though it seemed he knew Naruto was waiting to talk about something.

"I know your really busy and all, but how long have I been out and when can I leave?" Naruto asked his birthday wouldn't be in a couple of days, and he had a feeling that the Kyuubi was going to try something on his birthday. On the day he was attacked by those thugs, there were only four more days until he turned eight, and he vaguely hoped that he had missed the occasion.

The Hokage stood up and putting his hat on his head, "You've been out for two whole days now Naruto." The Hokage headed for the door he gave a little sigh, "If your healer consents, you can leave tomorrow afternoon if you like, but come and see me after you get settled in your new apartment."

Naruto head tilted to the side "new apartment" he said in a happy questioning voice.

The Hokage laughed lightly turning to a smiling Naruto "yes Naruto your apartment the map to get there is on the table in front of the bed." And with that, The Hokage left with a small smile lighting his wrinkled face closing the door quietly behind him.

Naruto laid his head down on his pillow as he began to think about What Kyuubi said. 'The way it spoke it was like someone forced her to attack the village, but that doesn't make much since. Who or what could possibly control the Kyuubi? Then it talked about my Father. I wonder if it knows him.' Naruto began to wonder.

"I'm not an 'it.' I'm a 'she,' a SHE you stupid human" the Kyuubi spat angrily.

Naruto sat up, surprised. 'You can read my mind now?!'

"Foolish human, of course I can. Your mind is so pitifully boring and unimaginative. You have none of your fathers intellectual wit that much is certain."

'Great, so now I've got a stupid demon fox that hears everything I think! Fantastic!' Naruto laughed sarcastically as a nurse brought in a steaming bowl of ramen. She smiled pleasantly as Naruto grabbed his two chop sticks and got ready to eat the nurse left before Naruto could get started.

'I'm not an Idiot by the way,' thought Naruto as he slurped up some Ramen.

"How can you eat that stuff?" Kyuubi questioned gagging.

'Would you please stop talking to me? I don't really like you, and besides I'm trying to eat' The Kyuubi unleashed a ferocious growl followed by a wave of killer intent. Naruto shrugged it off, and resumed eating.

Something felt a bit off. When he first met Kyuubi, he was scared stiff, but now it was like the Kyuubi's blood lust had no effect over him while her threats felt more like childish pestering than dangerous intentions. Perhaps the seal was making him smarter causing this effect. Oddly enough, the Kyuubi had even grown silent which was a bigger shock than anything else.

Naruto finished his ramen with a smack of the lips and set his chopstick down. He breathed in victoriously as he crossed the room to open the window. The sun was rising steadily over the quiet village, and Naruto smiled peacefully at the sight, enjoying the cool breeze that tousled his hair.

"Tomorrow is my birthday," he murmured out loud as his smile dropped into a worried frown, "something tells me it'll be very different from all the others."

Outside the walls of Konoha five figures stared at the huge gates as they creaked open.

"Okay you all know what to do. When one of you finds the mistress give the signal. Got it?" Fu said as he glared at Jax, Lela, Fin, and Shin. The four fox cubs shimmered briefly, transforming into children dressed in ninja gear.

"Got it boss!" saluted Jax enthusiastically as the other three nodded silently.

"Alright let's move."
