Now with much anticipation the Naruto/Hinata cuteness begins!
Naruto had been walking for hours now mostly staying in the forest, so none of the villagers would see him. He was about to turn and head back to Tsunade's home when he felt something's chakra.
" Hey Boss." Gamakichi said
" Gamakichi what are you doing here?" Naruto asked
" Oh it's you kid. I thought you were the new Nine-tailed Boss." Gamakichi explained
" Did Ero-sennin send you here?" Naruto now asked him getting annoyed
" Nope dad did." Gamakichi told Naruto
" Why did Gamabunta send you to my realm?" Naruto asked
" The demon world found out that there is a new Kyubi, so he told me to go find him and offer any assistance we could." Gamakichi told him
" How did you know there is a new Kyubi?" Naruto asked the frog
" Well Orochi finally returned to our realm and said he was beaten by the new Kyubi. Dad told him that couldn't be true because you dad put Kyubi in you. So, he sent me to find who the new Kyubi was. He thought you were dead." Gamakichi explained
" Actually no Orochi was right. I guess he was killed by the new Kyubi and your are looking at him." Naruto said
" Very funny kid your human. Humans can't be lords. Not unless you merge." Gamakichi said
" Bingo." Naruto replied
" Orochi was actually sealed into Orochimaru, while I was battling him and Kabuto Kyubi and I had to merge to beat them. It worked and the two of them are gone, but Kyubi didn't tell me what all the Kyubi no Gappei did and so we became one and now I guess I'm the head lord." Naruto told Gamakichi
" Welp, you need anything?" Gamakichi asked
" You know how I can change to human form?" Naruto asked
" Sorry boss can't help you there. Have never needed a human form." Gamakichi said
" It's Ok." Naruto said
" Well if you need anything from us just call on us. Well come." Gamakichi told him
" You guys will still do that?" Naruto questioned
" Yeah, you signed the contract. On top of that Katsuyu, Manda, Enma, and other Kitsune's will come if needed. Those are the groups Kyubi looks after. Each lord has a certain amount of groups to watch over. Though you'll always have problems if you call on Manda, as I'm sure you seen numerous time." Gamakichi explained
" Yeah, my thrill for the day. Having to watch over the dead snakes summons." Naruto said
" Well actually he's now the Uchiha kid's summons. Since Orochimaru is now dead." Gamakichi said
" Oh Ok, HE"S WHAT!" Naruto turned to look at the frog
" Oh yeah, only the snakes have this sort of contract. Once the head dies the next in line gets to summon and that was the Uchiha. Well, I better be heading back to tell dad and the rest of the demons the news. Dad's going to have a cow over this one, but he'll be happy to know you're still alive." Gamakichi said
" Yeah, well I'll see you later and tell boss I said Hello." Naruto said as Gamakichi puffed away
Naruto finally looked to see were he had been walking to and noticed he had ended up at Konoha's biggest lake. Though a lot of it was out in the open he could tell it was close to midnight and the villagers would've been asleep by now. He just needed to worry about ninja's, but right now he didn't care. As he walked to the waters edge he sat down and looked at his reflection.
" I just wish I knew how to change myself back to looking human. This whole merger thing wouldn't be so bad if I could change back." Naruto said
It was then that he heard a noise from the trees.
Great I thought everyone was asleep. Just my luck there was still a few awake. Naruto thought and got up to leave
" You don't have to leave Kitsune-Sama I was just going to watch the moon. You can stay too I if you like. I'd like the company." The person said
Naruto turned around and saw Hinata standing there. He went back to his seat and motioned for her to sit. Not wanting to reveal who he really was to her.
" You are very polite kitsune, but why are you so sad. I can see it in your eyes." Hinata asked
Naruto proceeded to hit his reflection in the water.
" You do not like what you see? Can you tell me why?" Hinata asked, Naruto just shook his head
" I see. If you like I tell you something. Whenever the weather is like this I come to this lake. My mother, when she was alive would bring me to it if the weather was right and the moon was full. She said on those days if you made a wish it would come true. She later told me before she meet my father she wished for him to notice her. He finally did one year to the day she started the wishing. Tonight I'm hoping that will happen to me too." Hinata said, the fox looked at her questioningly and she smiled, " You don't understand. I'll tell you. I have had a person I have looked up to my entire life. Even thought he hasn't known I was there I have watched him grow into a strong man. He has helped me numerous times in my life and even helped changed my family. Though I'm sure he doesn't know he did. Just recently he came back, but was very sick. The first day back I took care of him for a little while, after that I was constantly worried about him and today he was gone again. Every time I get the courage to tell him my feelings he leaves and I lose my courage again.
She talking about me, ME! I know she watched me a lot at the academy and I cheer her on, but I didn't think I helped her that much. Actually, she's helped me more time that I have her. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't of been able to beat her cousin Neji. But should I tell her who I really am or should I just continue to play the dumb kitsune? Naruto thought
It was then that Naruto heard Hinata make her wish
" Oh Great moon on high please allow the one I love to hear my prayer and finally see the person I really am. I don't know were he is now, but if you could send him this message I would be eternally grateful." Hinata said
Ok there is no way now. I have to tell her it's really me. Maybe even though I look like this she'll still accept me. Naruto thought
" Message Received." Naruto said
" Huh?" Hinata now turned to the fox that she was sure had just spoken
" I said message received Hinata-chan and I'm sorry I didn't notice you sooner." Naruto now said looking at her
" Na-Naruto-Kun?" Hinata asked
" Please don't start stuttering again. You have a pretty voice when you don't stutter." Naruto said grinning
" Buy why do you look like a kitsune?" Hinata asked blushing from embarrassment
" Long story." Naruto said
" I have the time." Hinata said and smiled at the fox
" So where to begin?" Naruto asked her
" How about at the beginning. That always a good place to start." Hinata told him
" Yeah, well for that we have to go back to the day the Kyubi attacked our village. You see the story we were told in the academy is not entirely accurate." Naruto said
" What? Which part?" Hinata asked surprised
" The part about the Yondaime killing Kyubi. You see Kyubi was too powerful to be killed so the Yondaime had to seal it. He used the same Jutsu the old man used on Orochimaru, the Fuuin Jutsu. But because of Kyubi being so powerful he had to have something else, a container, to keep the Kyubi from coming back. The only thing that could do this was a baby since it's chakra system isn't developed yet and could take Kyubi's chakra. Also, the Yondaime didn't want to burden another family with their child being a vessel, so he used his own son that had been born earlier that day and who had also lost it's mother from his birth. I guess you could say that's where I come in. I was that boy, son of the Yondaime, and vessel of the Kyubi." Naruto said the sighing
" The Yondaime was your father, but why didn't we know about him or the Kyubi in you?" Hinata questioned
" The old man and the elders thought it best not to say anything about either. If it got out I am the Yondaime's son I'd have people out to kill me. The Kyubi was for my own protection, but look were it got me half my life I grew up with no friends and most of the village hating me." Naruto said
" But that doesn't explain why you are a kitsune? She said
" Kyubi actually, and it happened when we went after Sasuke. After I was able to get Sasuke unconscious I had to battle Orochimaru and Kabuto at the same time. I knew my power wasn't enough. Kyubi and I had come to and agreement during the battle with Akatsuki and he had taught me a number of Demonic Jutsu's one being the Kyubi no Gappei, but he left off a lot of what the jutsu did, baka kitsune. During the battle I had to use the jutsu and was able to rid the world of Orochimaru and Kabuto forever, later Kyubi told me what all the jutsu does. He actually merges with me and we become one. That's why I look like this because the merger was completed." Naruto said motioning to his reflection in the water, " I finally have become what the villager have thought I was for so long and I don't know how to turn back." Hitting the water to blur his image
" Naruto even if you are in that form I know you're still human. Even if on the outside you don't look human it's what's in here really counts." She told him while placing her hand on his heart
" Yeah, I guess you right Hinata-chan, I just wished Kyubi had told me a way I could at least look sort of human and not a Kyubi." Naruto said looking at her
It was at that moment the Kyubi Bunshin was finally activated. Hearing Naruto's request it turned him into his hanyou form before Hinata's eyes
" Naruto-kun I think you should look in the lake." She tell him
" Why it hasn't changed since the last time I looked." He replied
Hinata then grabbing all the courage she could muster takes Naruto's head and turns it towards the lake.
" See." Hinata said, " On the right night the moon does grant wishes."
" I'm back to normal." Naruto said, but then saw the black ears on top of his head and saw something moving behind him.
He then looked and saw he still had his nine-tails and fox-ears, but being half human that none was good to him. Of course he was only wearing what he had on in the hospital, which was black boxer short that had a fox and frog looking at each other like they were rivals.
" Thank you Hinata-chan." He says and embraces the girl with a hug who was now blushing because Naruto was hugging her and wearing very little.
" Na-Naruto-kun." Hinata said blushing madly
" What did I say about the stuttering Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked
" Hi, but…" she started
Naruto now recognized what he was doing and quickly let go of her.
" Hehe, well it's getting late and we should both be heading home." Naruto said rubbing the back of his head and blushing
" Hai." Hinata said
As they both started walking away Naruto turned around and yelled back at her, " Hey Hinata-chan if your not doing anything tomorrow. Would you like to go to lunch with me?"
Hinata was only able to nod her head.
" Great I'll meet you in front of the Hokage tower at noon. Bye." Naruto said and ran off
I'm going on a date with Naruto tomorrow. Did that really just happen or is all of this a dream. If this is a dream I don't ever want to wake up. Hinata thought and headed to the Hyuuga manor
At the Hyuuga manor Hiashi was still awake waiting for his daughter to return. He was growing concerned because it was now one in the morning and she had yet to return. He was relieved when he finally saw her enter the compound and walked out to meet her.
" Hinata." Hiashi said sternly, " Where have you been?"
" Ano sa, I'm sorry father, but I went to the lake and Naruto was there. He was upset and I sat to talk with him." Hinata explained
" You saw him?" Hiashi questioned knowing that he now looked like the Kyubi
" Yes, father why was no one told he was the Yondaime's son or held the Kyubi?" she now questioned him
" For everyone's safety including the boy's. So you saw him as the Kyubi." Hiashi asked
" For a while." Hinata replied
" What do you mean?" Hiashi questioned
" Oh father, mother was right the moon does grant wishes. I wished for him to recognize me and it happened and Naruto wished to be human and he turned human. Well he still had fox ears and the nine-tails, but he's still human." Hinata said
Hiashi just smiled. So much like her mother. She truly does love the Uzumaki boy.
" Well it's late let us get to bed." Hiashi said and walked away
Hinata turned and went to her room anticipating the next day and her date with Naruto.
Naruto had just gotten back to the Hokage's house he was surprised at how quickly he had retuned from being on the other side of the village. On top of that he had kept to the path he had taken before, which meant he only traveled in the forest. This normally made the journey even longer, but he had gotten back in 2 minutes. As he walked up to the house he noticed the light in the kitchen was still on.
" Someone must still be up." Naruto said, " Probably to let me in. Though I can do that myself now."
When he opened the door he was greeted by Tsunade's fist. Naruto ducked and moved behind her before she let the other one go.
" Geez, Obaa-chan don't you think I've gone though enough today." Naruto said
Tsunade now confused at where the intruder had gone heard the voice and turned around to find Naruto in his half human form standing behind her grinning.
" Naruto you back to normal." Jiraiya said, but then saw the ear and tails, " Well sort of."
" Yeah, I meet up with Hinata at the lake and I wished on the moon and I turned back to normal." Naruto explained waving his arms in the air
Tsunade and Jiraiya were grinning because of the mention of the Hyuuga heiress. It was then they heard a voice.
" Actually it was me that turned you back." The voice said as Kyubi appeared
" Kyubi your alive? I thought you were dead." Naruto asked
" Obviously the Hokage and others forgot to tell you." Kyubi said looking over at the two who looked embarrassed.
" Yeah, well you said he wouldn't change into your demon form. That freaked us all out and we totally forgot." Tsunade explained
" Indeed. Well like I said I was pretty sure it wouldn't happened. The last time a merger happened I was just a kit. So I really can't remember what all happened." Kyubi said
" WILL SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON AND WHY KYUBI IS ALIVE?" Naruto yelled
" Quiet down Kit, I'm not alive I'm a Bunshin of Kyubi left in you mindscape to explain techniques and generally to help you out. The only way I come out or hear you is if you call my name or actually try to talk to me. Since you didn't do that until you were with the girl I couldn't change you into you hanyou form." The Bunshin now said
" So then Kyubi is really gone?" Naruto asked sadly
" Yes" the Bunshin said
" So what do I have to do?" Naruto asked still upset that his friend was now gone
" Right now you need to train. With you merging with me you'll have an enormous amount of chakra now. You're going to have to learn how to control it and not drain yourself. I suggest you do the tree walking and water walking exercises. You'll still need to train in normal jutsu's, but any demonic jutsu's will come naturally to you when you need them." The Bunshin explained, " That's all I have to tell you. If you have any more questions just come into your mindscape like you always did."
With that the Kyubi Bunshin puffed away
" O…k" Naruto said
" So what happened while you were out?" Tsunade asked interested in what happened with Hinata and her little brother
" I saw Gamakichi." Naruto said
" You summoned him in you Kyubi form?" Jiraiya questioned
" No Boss had asked him to come and find the new Kyubi. Apparently when I killed Orochimaru the eight-headed demon lord Orochi was sent back because he had been in the snake-bastered. He told the other demons he was back because the new Kyubi killed his vessel. Boss didn't believe him because he knew dad had put Kyubi in me, so he sent Gamakichi to find him. He then told me that each lord has a certain group of demons to look over. Be my luck one of the group happens to be Manda's clan." Naruto said
" Who are the other?" Tsunade questioned
" Enma, Gamabunta, Katsuyu, and other Kitsune's. Which I think is rather ironic. Now I really am the boss of the frogs." Naruto said rubbing the back of his head.
Tsunade and Jiraiya's mouths were both dropped.
" Anyways it's late and I'm tired." Naruto said and walked off, " Oh and Obaa-can can I tell my friends tomorrow. Hinata didn't care, so I think it'll be alright for me to tell the others."
" Lets talk about it in the morning Naruto. How about you come by my office around 10. OK." Tsunade said
" K. Night Baa-can. Night Ero-sennin." Naruto said and walked into the darkness avoiding any question that might come up about Hinata
" Can you believe it he's the head of all the Konoha's major summons." Tsunade said as her and Jiraiya head to their rooms
" Yeah, but the question is how will the others take the news?" Jiraiya asked before he entered his room
" I don't know, but I don't want my little brother to get hurt." Tsunade says as she walks to her room, " Oh and Jiraiya, if you try the stunt you tried last night. I'll make it so every Onsen owner in Konoha knows what you do."
Tsunade then shut her door. Jiraiya just gulped and closed his door.
