(Team Kurenai)

Their battle was going mostly at a stalemate. Kiba found it easy to dodge Akuhei's attacks, but also found his own attacks were never dodged or blocked, but he still couldn't damage him while Kurenai and Hinata found it interesting how the single weapons mistress could hold them off effectively.

"Well it has been fun, but it is time to end this, Magen: Jubaku Satsu. (The demon tree bind thing she does)" Kurenai disappeared from sight while Hinata drew the nin's attention away from the plant growing at her feet, before she knew it Yoko was trapped in the grasp of a large tree restricting her movements. Just as Kurenai was going for the kill, Hinata noticed the intruding Jonin was still able to move through the genjutsu and was bending her sword with chakra to cut herself free.

"Sensei, look out!" Hinata yelled as she ran forward. The blade just missed Kurenai as her real target was the girl running forward. Seeing the blade come at her, Hinata immediately stopped on the ball of her foot before effortlessly rotating on it to duck under the blade and thrust her palm forward connecting with a Jyuken to the heart. Hinata ignored the blade as it came back by her while being curved by the chakra and sliced into her flesh on her shoulder, but nothing too bad, so it was ignored.

"Well my oversized friend, I guess you're next. Jinjū Konbi Henge: Sōtōrō" Kiba and Akamaru joined together into one large twin headed beast after seeing Kurenai and Hinata victorious. "Garōga!" The massive beast twirled in the air as it crashed into the large man. Due to the guy's slow speed Kiba didn't need to have him marked, so his ultimate attack made full contact.

"How?" coughed the man from his spot on the ground after getting beat down from the attack. "My chakra makes a shield out of my skin."

"I believe that was my doing." Stated Shino as he came out of the bushes recalling all his bugs. "My insects devoured your chakra while you were occupied in trying to fight Kiba. Sure he never injured you, but that was never the plan. He was the diversion and would deal the final blow when your chakra was drained." Hinata and Kurenai calmly walked up to them, Hinata carrying the sword, and looked at the downed man on the verge of death.

"Who were you working for?" demanded Kurenai.

"Akatsuki, we were to be a diversion so they could acquire the fox. By now it should be captured and our mission is complete." Hinata started tearing up from his statement.

"Naruto-kun, are you safe?" she asked herself when she was surprised by him jumping down in front of her.

"I'm fine Hinata-chan, Itachi and Kisame are taken care of and I think we even got Sasuke to return, but I don't exactly know how." Naruto hugged his fiancé and noticed the cut on her shoulder. "Hinata-chan, are you ok, you got cut."

"I'll be fine Naruto-kun, it just a scratch…" Hinata gave a small smile before falling completely limp in his embrace.

"Hinata-chan?" he asked while holding her up. "Hinata-chan, Hinata!" he started yelling louder and getting panicked as he lightly shook her body and slapped her face lightly. He quickly laid her down on the grass and felt for a pulse, what he found was weak and irregular frightening the hell out of him. He looked to the sword and noticed a strange sheen on the blade dulling the proper luster.

"Sakura! Get your ass over here now, I think Hinata was poisoned!" Naruto screamed into the microphone. What seemed like it took forever actually only happened in seconds as every able bodied ninja appeared on the island, even Kakashi was there supported by Lee and Sasuke. Sakura ran over to the clammy feeling girl and ran through a few analyzing jutsu before looking up with a saddened face.

"This is a very potent poison. It has already progressed through out her body and I can't contain and remove it. She needs to get to Tsunade as fast as possible and even then she may not survive. Lee! Take her to Tsunade as fast as you can go, loose the weights." Sakura ordered loudly.

"Yosh, I shall get her there in less than a day, If I can't do that I will run 500 laps around Konoha on my toes!" He exclaimed and he started removing his weights.

'Naruto-kun, she won't survive that long. You need to take her. I will give you all the chakra I can. It will be dangerous for you but it will also let the village know when you approach. Be careful, and help her.'

"Stop Lee, I will take her myself." Naruto stooped down and picked up the girl bridal style and made sure to give her head support.

"Are you insane Naruto? Lee is the fastest of us all, not even Gai is faster anymore." Screamed Ino looking at him. Suddenly all the Jonin flinched from a build up of suffocating pressure around the blonde while the rest nearly choked to death as the massive amount of demonic chakra bore down on them..

"No, I am faster." Was his almost demonic sounding voice, before his whisker marks darkened and the red hue of a fox with five tails were superimposed on his body with the flailing demonic chakra. Before they could blink, he was gone. They looked in the direction he ran and was astonished as they saw a clear and dry path through the water and signs of downed trees and branches showing his path through the forest.

"Holy shit, Akatsuki has no idea who they were after. No one is that powerful." Ino stated in amazement.

"No it is because of that power that Akatsuki wants him, it is definitely demonic." Stated Shikamaru.

"I see, that is how he beat me in the chuunin exams, I thought I saw another chakra. He contains the Kyuubi doesn't he?" asked Neji while he too was looking on in amazement. He was also surprised when eight of the ninja around him nodded in agreement.

(Konoha)

Dusk was settling in over the village as an eerie red hue illuminated the sky. The older ninja looked at the ominous sign and shivered from seeing that before. Moments later nearly all ninja were out at attention feeling the great mass of chakra coming at them.

"Tsunade-sama, you made it!" shouted one of the chuunin looking out in fear of what is coming.

"Yeah, it is time you witness your stupidity Hokage. How many times have we told you to destroy the demon, but you kept ignoring our requests. Now, we are all going to die since it is free again and coming back to finish what he was started." Shouted an older man.

"SILENCE ALL OF YOU!" she yelled making them all fear her more than the incoming danger. "The demon is not a threat, that should just be Naruto under extreme duress and he is using the fox's chakra to move faster. Do not halt his progress and you won't die since this is most likely a medical emergency. If he does ask, I'm at the hospital waiting for him." The large breasted Hokage took off running at top speed since at the rate the red cloud of chakra was approaching he may get there before she does.

The watching ninja all made a path through the crowd as the popping and crashing of trees being torn apart scared the hell out of them. They were all panicking as they caught a glimpse of the massive aura of chakra approaching, they wanted to run, but were frozen still. Suddenly a single older Anbu member had the balls to stand directly in the path through the crowd as he came close.

"You will not pass demon!" he shouted. The Anbu smiled as he saw the red chakra in front of him was no more until a sudden rush of pain hit him. He looked down and saw four deep gashes run from his abs up to his shoulder where he noticed a bloody stump where his arm should have been. "AHHHH!!!!" he screamed in agony as he clutched at his missing arm before falling to the ground screaming some more.

"Don't just stand there kill the demon." The fallen Anbu ordered as the rest of the Ninja split up and started to walk away.

"You disobeyed orders from the Hokage." One stated as he shook his head.

"This was entirely your fault." Stated another.

"Dumbass." Commented a third as he stepped over the Anbu.

Back at the hospital, Naruto jus came crashing through the doors and set Hinata down on the gurney Tsunade had waiting.

"What is wrong with Hinata?" She yelled to the blonde.

"Poison… Sakura… couldn't… heal." He panted out between chokes trying to settle down from the heavy chakra use and gain his breath back.

"I'll see what I can do, just rest, I'll come back for you." Tsunade quickly pushed the stretcher into the back of the hospital so she could get to work. Naruto smiled before the chakra faded from his body and he landed hard, face first in the cold tile floor.

Naruto woke up in a hospital bed being frantically shaken by a pink haired girl.

"Naruto! Get your ass up." She shouted

"Yeah, I'm up, where's Hinata?" he asked as he jumped to his feet.

"Um, you need to talk to Tsunade, come with me." Naruto didn't like how that sounded and dumbly followed Sakura to a back room where Tsunade was standing carrying a sad face.

"Cut the shit Tsunade, what is the deal?" he asked clearly serious.

"The deal is that the poison is very exotic, I have no idea what it is and how to stop it. Currently the poison has spread to all her organs and even into her bones and brain. Long story short, she will die in less than a day, even if we figured out how to stop it."

"So that's it? My fiancé is going to die?" He asked as tears threatened to fall.

"I'm afraid so, Hiashi is already in her room with Hanabi saying goodbye to her. He has told me that you can enter at any time." Naruto didn't say anything as he opened the door quietly and walked into the room. He could see Hiashi was trying to hold back the tears threatening to come out seeing his daughter lying in her death bed much like his late wife. Hanabi, on the other hand, clearly wasn't holding her tears back anymore as they frequented her face. She looked up at her father and saw he was standing from the chair by the bed and offered it to the new comer.

"It's fine, I'll stand." Hanabi looked to him in slight anger.

"Who the hell are you to even be here? This should be for family only."

"I am here because I love her more than you do, she is my fiancée. I was going to marry her at some point."

"Oh." She replied and turned back to Hinata's overly pale body. Even her lips seemed to not hold any color.

"Kyu-chan, is there any way to save her?"

'There might be, but unfortunately it comes with a price, a heavy price. What are you willing to give for her life?'

"You know I would give my life for her."

'I thought you would say that, that also means that you are willing to give up my life since I am connected to you, remember I die you die. So be it.'

"What are you talking about Kyu-chan?"

'I knew this day would come since you met her again, I was just hoping it wouldn't be so soon. This is the reason I demanded sex that morning, I knew something bad was about to happen and I wanted my last day of freedom to be with you. I know you love me and I you, but you love her more. I have seen it; they were only tiny differences, but she will always be your wife and I will always be the beautiful fox that comes out to help and play. Hinata will be my last gift to you my love before I set you free from your burden.'

"What do you mean Kyu-chan; I don't want either of you to die."

'I know, but I have lived 9500 good years and Hinata hasn't even lived 20. My fate was sealed the moment I was trapped inside you. You need her more than you need me. She will keep you company where I can and I will share my power with you both so you may lead a long life with your mate. When you do what I tell you to, you both will enter into the world of the Kitsune as hanyou, a half demon. You will see new things you never knew existed and have abilities like no other human, but you both will have the fox attributes I had in human form. In a way I will still be with the both of you since you two will be kitsune with a portion of my blood. If you want to save Hinata, this is the only way.' After a few moments of deadly silence passed in his mind he came to an answer.

"Fine, what do I need to do?"

'I knew that would be your answer…' Naruto broke from his chat with the demon and looked over at Hinata's father.

"Hiashi, do you trust me to do something to Hinata that will appear slightly barbaric to save her life?" The usually stoic man looked straight into his eyes.

"What will it cost?" He asked, knowing it was a huge price to pay for a life.

"It will cost Kyu-chan, and a portion of Hinata's humanity and mine, we will become hanyou." Hiashi stood and bowed his head to the floor.

"She is already yours; you may do so as you wish. I could never ask you for what you are about to do."

"I know, but just promise me that you will tell her you are proud of her and spread the word that Hinata and I have removed the demon from this world and that they have nothing left to fear." Hiashi stood and nodded in agreement.

"It shall be done." He stated. Naruto grimly walked to the hospital bed and climbed on top of the girl resting himself down on her thighs before pulling off most of the hospital gown revealing her stomach and most of her chest, all that remained covered was from the waist down and a little over half of her breasts. Taking a deep breath, Naruto took out a kunai and set it on her bare skin before removing all the wires and instruments from her body. Immediately alarms sounded from being disconnected and he put the plan into motion.

He grabbed the kunai and ran a three inch gash in Hinata's pale skin between her breasts upon her sternum and another right below her navel. The gashes bled quickly causing the thick red fluid to run everywhere while Naruto slashed the palms of his hands. Tsunade and Sakura both rushed in gasping at the sight of Naruto holding a kunai and blood being everywhere and charged forward until they could see his lips move and a quiet voice emitting from those lips.

"Goodbye Kyu-chan." Naruto thrust his bloodied hands down onto her skin covering each of her gashes with the ones on his hands and started forcing raw chakra into her near lifeless body. His blue chakra and the red from the demon intermixed and turned a lavender color as he kept pumping more chakra than any one could imagine a person having until finally the dam broke releasing the seal on the soul of the Kyuubi. Chakra literally filled the room throwing energy in every direction knocking over equipment and causing the onlookers to stumble.

They saw an ethereal body of a nine tailed fox morph into the shape of a human before it bent down and lightly kissed both Naruto and Hinata before it shifted back into a fox flying into the air where she split into two smaller foxes, one of four tails and one of five and dove into their bodies, the four tail into Hinata and the five to Naruto.

A sudden flash of pure blue and lavender exploded from their bodies throwing each of the onlookers through the wall, taking all the equipment with them. All the occupants of the room, minus Naruto and Hinata, now lay in a pile of wrecked equipment and devices completely unconscious.

About 30 minutes later Tsunade was finally coming around from the constant shaking coming from Shizune.

"Tsunade, what the hell happened here?" She looked around the area and saw all the expensive machines piled in the corner all completely destroyed.

"Where is Naruto, is he alright?" Tsunade replied as she attempted to get up.

"I guess you could say he is fine, right now he is sleeping with Hinata in his arms, and it is quite cute."

"Wait, Hinata doesn't look sick?"

"Well I'm not an expert in that species, but she looks fine." The Hokage looked at her strangely before finally being able to stand and walked into the room that was completely empty except for the one hospital bed. Looking to the bed she saw Naruto caringly holding the young Hyuuga covered with what appeared to be fur.

"What did he do?" Tsunade continued staring at them from a distance as the others finally came to and joined her in staring.

"I guess he really does love her." Hiashi stated looking at them.

"What exactly do you mean Hiashi-sama?" asked Sakura.

"For what he gave up for her life. You should ask him about it."

"Well, let's wake him then." Suggested the tiny Hyuuga joining them. The group shrugged never really thinking of that and quickly nominated Sakura to wake him. She stepped up to the bed and reached out, lightly touching Naruto's arm.

"Naruto-wake up." she urged, shaking him from his sleep. He started to stir until his eyes opened and saw the face of Hinata full of life sleeping happily. He really could only smile and kiss those soft lips of hers making her come from her slumber and deepen the gentle kiss.

"Naruto-kun, why are we in a hospital?" she asked while yawning showing the elongated fangs of her new heritage.

"Do you know how cute you look now?" Naruto asked with a smile.

"What do you mean Naruto-kun?" she finally locked her eyes on his and saw that his pupils were slitted, but still kept the brilliant blue color. "Why do your eyes look weird as well, much like Kyu-chan. By the way, where is Kyu-chan?" She watched his smile falter as he looked away.

"Well… Kyu-chan is here in a way, but we can't see her any more and she will never be joining us in the normal way."

"But why? I liked her." Hinata mentioned quietly

"I know, but we did something to allow you to live, she doesn't exist anymore. I no longer have anyone living inside me."

"Were is she? Why am I here?" She asked as tears made their way down her face.

"You were a few hours away from dying after an exotic poison ran through your system from that strange flimsy sword. As for where she is, feel your ass." She looked strangely at him and ran her hand behind her body and ran into fur, but what was really weird was she could feel the touch on the furred appendage as well as her hand. She followed the fur up further feeling the softness and the joy of the feeling she got in the appendage from the touch.

"I have a tail?"

"You should be able to feel all of them, but it feels weird when you discover another one. I think I have five which would mean you should have four. Come on and get up, you should really see your cute ears." She looked at him again and finally noticed the charcoal colored ears in the midst of his blonde hair making her smile. He helped her up, trying to keep her covered with her hospital gown, and led her past the gaping mouths of the onlookers to the remnant of a mirror still hanging on the wall.

Hinata looked in the mirror and smiled while looking at her lavender ears tipped with fur the exact color of her hair. She turned to the side and admired her four tails colored exactly the same as her ears and giggled as she stroked them caringly. She turned to her fiancé and smiled seeing his dark tails swishing behind him signifying that he liked what he was seeing.

"So what are you now?" asked Hanabi looking at the two before them. Hinata turned to Naruto as well waiting for an answer.

"Kyu-chan, the Kyuubi, merged her power and soul with ours. Basically she gave her life to save Hinata's so we could be together. I really didn't want her to go, but I need Hinata in my life, so the best way the three of us could still be together was for this union. Technically we are Kitsune Hanyou, half demons of the vulpine, and the Kyuubi does not exist anymore." Naruto guided his fiancée back to the bed where they laid down again, snuggling into each other and wrapping their tails around each other.

"We'll talk about this more later, but my vixen and I need some more sleep. This merger took a lot out of us." Naruto kissed Hinata on the nose before closing his eyes and letting sleep drag him down.

"Hinata, you really did pick a good man to marry you, I am proud of you my daughter." Hinata's eyes watered after finally hearing those words as Hiashi turned away from her.

"Thank you father, I always knew what type of man he was, I'm just glad you see it as well." Following Naruto's lead she closed her eyelids over her still pupil-less eyes following her blonde into sleep.

Over the next three days, Naruto and Hinata stayed in the hospital sleeping the entire time, of course they woke up to take care of the usual daily necessities. Finally they were rested enough to wake up fully and go about their day, but first they need to wake up. Naruto woke first and looked over to his new vixen and kissed her to wake her up. She of course woke up and was kissing him with all the love she had and finally ended it, not realizing she was now on top of him. She then buried her face in his neck and started sobbing.

"I'm sorry Naruto-kun, Kyu-chan is gone and you loved her. I'm so sorry she is gone, you should have let me die."

"Shh, it will be fine Hinata-chan." He told her while rubbing her back. "This was a choice I made and she knew it was coming, which was why she kept pushing us together. It was said that when a full blooded kitsune reached the ninth and final tail that they would receive some type of omnipotent sense.

I think she knew what was coming but didn't know when or how. If it makes you feel better, just know that she will always be with us since we are both infused with her very being. Now come on and let's find some lunch and see what we can do with these upgraded bodies." They got out of bed and found it very difficult to get properly dressed with the extra appendages but with some well placed cuts from a kunai, they managed.

As they walked down the streets of the village, they found it interesting that they didn't get even the slightest comment about their new attributes nor even a stray look. They found themselves at Ichiraku's for lunch and sat down waiting for their orders to be taken.

"Hey Naruto, what can I get you?" ask Teuchi, the owner of the restaurant.

"I'll go with 10 beef, with extra beef." He replied with a smile.

"Sure thing, and what about your foxy lady?" he asked with a smile.

"I'll have… um half of what he's having." She replied feeling very hungry at the moment.

"It'll be just a moment, so how do you two keep those tails clean, I wouldn't know how to care for a tail." The old man inquired surprising them.

"Yeah about that, do you think it is strange to have a tail?" Naruto asked.

"Nah, you two have been like that for so long that no one notices."

"Wait, but we only…" Naruto quickly silenced Hinata with a look.

"I think Kyu-chan did something to how people perceive us; maybe like a genjutsu, but either way, this is good." She caught on quickly to his explanation and agreed right as their bowls arrived. After chowing down on the food, they paid the man and left to find a training ground to see exactly what they can and can't do with the change to their bodies.

On their way to the training grounds, they noticed something following them passing through buildings and people completely unnoticed by anyone. Both thought that is was just a glare of the sun, or something, and carried on their way and settled in at the training area.

Chapter end... On to the next.
