'Kyuubi talking to Naruto'

Past of a Fox: Chapter 2

So finally Naruto knew. He finally knew why Kyuubi attacked the village. Naruto sighed at he ran a hand through his hair; Kyuubi's family was murdered by the people of the village. Great one answer to a question brought up another one.

Why was Kyuubi's family murdered? It couldn't have just been the fact that they were demons since Kyuubi was not known to destroy any village out of random. His power was known from challenges from other demons.

'Do not think about it so much, Naruto. Maybe it was not such a good idea to show you my memories.' Kyuubi's voice was filled with sorrow.

'No, it's alright. I would have asked sooner or later. I'm sorry for you loss, Kyuubi. Now I understand why you attacked.'

There was a slight pause before Kyuubi talked, 'You may understand why I attacked but I do not. Why did this village kill my family, Naruto? I had done nothing to this village. I left this village in peace according to my agreement to the Hokage. He betrayed me.'

'Yondaime made an agreement with you?

Kyuubi growled, 'Do think I am lying to you. He came to me saying that the village was worried that I would attack this village because I had made a den close. I only made a den because my mate was soon to give birth to my child and I did not want to stress her of moving away farther. When he came, he saw my mate and said that my family would be able to live here in peace if only I agree to not attack the village. I accept of course.'

'I am not saying you are lying. It's just I had never heard that before. I never knew there were an agreement between you two.'

Kyuubi didn't answer and Naruto decided to end it there.

"Naruto," Naruto jumped at the soft voice. It was Hinata.

"Hinata, sorry I didn't hear you come in."

Hinata crossed the room, "Are you alright? You seem dazed."

Naruto smiled grimly, "I'm alright. What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be out with the others?"

"I decided to spend the day with you."

Naruto smiled, "Thank you, Hinata"

She blushed just like she did when they are children years ago. He placed a hand on her cheek, "I love you so much Hinata…"

She placed her hand on his, "I love you too Naruto, no matter what people say."

He gently placed a kiss on her soft lips, "No matter…"

A knock on the door broke their romantic moment, "Naruto? Are you there? There's something I must talk to you about."

Naruto sighed, "Neji sure does know how to ruin moments."

Hinata giggled, "Ten-Ten says the same thing."

He grinned and to open the door, "What she sees in him is beyond me."

He opened the door to be greeted by the stern look of his second-in-command Neji Hyuuga. "Naruto I just was just informed by….Hinata."

Hinata went to Naruto's side, "Hello, Neji."

"Hinata, your father told me that you are requested back home." She nodded and placed a kiss on Naruto's cheek before heading off.

Neji walked inside, "Naruto…you better sit down for this."

"So…he's near." Naruto glanced at the map on his table. Neji had gotten word that Sasuke had been spotted a small village near Sand. According to the report, Sasuke had been there for some time from injuries.

"Yeah, the Hokage has been told but she would like to know what you would like to do."

Naruto closed his eyes, "Do the villages know?"

Neji shook his head, "No, nobody but me and the ANBU who told me knows."

Naruto signed and went to a cabinet. He opened to take out a bottle of sake and a cup. He poured a large amount and sipped the drink. Neji frowned.

"Since when did you drink?"

"I know I'm only 20 and this is a large amount of me to take but it calms me. Don't worry. It's not something I do every day. I've had this bottle for a long time and not drunk half of it."

Neji continued to frown, "What do you think we should?"

He sipped the drink again, "Every single lead we've gotten about Sasuke each had a dead end. When we interview the villages where he supposedly stayed no one knows who he is. Why should this be any different?"

"So should we disregard this?"

"No….if we do then the villages will riot."

"Why would they riot?" Neji asked.

Naruto drank the last of the sake, "Because I am the Kyuubi. They will say I just don't want to bring Sasuke back. In truth, they may be right."

"What do you mean, Naruto?"

Naruto took the map, "How much pain has he brought, Neji? Do you know that Sakura still hopes that he could come back one day? What's the point of bringing pain? I suppose it's because he's the last of the Uchiha clan and they rather have him be known from this village rather than a demon child."

Neji sighed, "What do you propose we do then, Captain?"

Naruto closed his eyes, "If we bring Sasuke back he will be put on trial for his crimes and be judged, there is no doubt about that. Gather Ten-Ten, Shikamaru, Kiba and Shino for this mission. Before you leave, send message to the KazeKage of this."

"And the Hokage, what should I tell her?"

"Tell her…that the village is not to know this not even Sakura or the rest of the ANBU force. Not till we really have captured him. Once you have captured him send word to her and tell her to announce it but also that he will stand trial for his crimes."

"And yourself, Captain?"

Naruto poured himself another glass of sake, "I will also go."

A week later…

After the tiring journey of heading toward the Sand country the team was able to locate the village were reports of Sasuke as staying in. The peaceful people looked on as the small team of ANBU from Leaf walked toward the main leader's house. Naruto kept his fox mask on as he knocked the door. An old small statue man opened the door, "Yes?"

"Sorry to disturb you sir, but are you the leader of this village?" Naruto asked.

The man nodded and Naruto lifted his masked, "I am Naruto Uzumaki, Captain of the ANBU force in the Hidden Village of Leaf. About a week ago, we had gotten reports of a man who is classed as a missing-nin staying here because on injuries, is this true?"

The man rubbed his chin, "My boy, we have had many visitors seeking help. Please describe him to me."

Naruto took out a picture, "This is him when he was about 12 years old. He couldn't look much different that this only older."

The man looked closely at the picture, "Ah yes, there is a man here that looks very much like him. Please forgive this village sir; we do not know who is a missing-nin and who is not. If a person is in need of help, we only help and not ask questions."

Naruto placed the picture back, "Do not worry, nothing will come to this village. If you please show us where he is staying we'll be on our way when we do."

The man nodded quickly and walked out. They followed him to a small hut in the back, he pointed to it. "He is in there, he should be sleeping."

Naruto thanked the man and placed his mask back. It was the cue of the team to be ready. Naruto unsheathed his Katana and walked inside, his team covering his back.

There he was. After all these years, there laid Sasuke Uchiha sleeping. Naruto's eyes ran cold as he stepped closer. He gripped the handle of his sword tightly as waves of emotions ran through him. He looked back at his team and they all had their masks up waiting for their command.

"So, you've finally found me." A weak harsh voice came. Naruto glanced towards the owner's, Sasuke Uchiha.

"Sasuke Uchiha."

Sasuke looked at him grimly, "Naruto Uzumaki, so you're an ANBU now? I'm surprised. Imagine the worst ninja of all times being in to the ANBU."

Naruto sheathed his sword, "Sasuke Uchiha, you are classed as a missing-nin of the Hidden Village of Leaf. You have betrayed the village by siding with the enemy, Orochimaru, for your own personal gain of power. You are order to come back with my team for your trial. You will come with us either voluteerly or we will use force. Do you understand?"

Sasuke coughed and smiled, "Sure, ANBU. It's not like I have the strength to fight off you." Slowly he sat up on the bed and got up.

"Tell me Naruto, what makes you think that taking me will bring Orochimaru out?"

Naruto's fists clenched, "This is your crime, Uchiha, once Orochimaru is capture who knows if your charges will be the same."

Sasuke shrugged, "Fine, whatever. Let's go back, back to Leaf."
