Sakura's P.O.V
It was early morning when I heard something out of the ordinary. It sounded like a mix of a child whimpering and a dog's bark. It became clear Naruto(still weird to call a fox that) was scared of something. The sound of voices could be heard in Lady Tsunade's office and they didn't sound happy.
That was my que to get out of here and take the fox family away. I have a feeling those voices belong to the council and they don't sound happy. What I caught was "there is a fire in the forest." "stone ninja have been spotted." and "assemble all jonin ninja!"
I carefully opened the escape door that lead to the outside and ushered the fox family through with Naruto in my arms because he had froze in place. It was a good thing I acted when I did because not even four minutes after I shut the escape door the guest room doors had opened and what sounded like the council came in.
My urge to confront them was great but, that would put the foxes in danger and me in prison. Not a single person escaped when they confronted the council and they always ended up in prison to rot or get killed in front of the public. Naruto was lucky that he got free the first time. He only lived because the council tried to stay conspicuous of what they allowed to happen.
When I was far enough from the council's prying eyes I punched the ground until it cracked while muttering curses under my breath. I was in the training ground that was nearest the forest so naruto, kurama and the other two foxes could run around but, not even five minutes later a yelp was heard and then Kurama ran out running in circles and yipping frantically.
The first thing that went through my mind was "this can't be good" and with that I followed kurama into the forest with a kunai in hand. I will kill whoever dared to hurt one of the fox family
