Hey! Sorry if I was kinda late -.-; Well, here's the next chapter! It's kinda short. Really short. Is that okay anyway, fellow readers? But you'll have to wait a while for the upcoming chapters since I'm moving to Calgary next week.
Thanks for the reviews minna!
Disclaimer: No. I don't own that sweet, adorable blue-eyed kid, or that (dare I say it?) smexy raven-haired boy.
Naruto's POV
As I awoke, I knew things weren't right. I wasn't in the palace anymore. The only thing I could see were trees. I must be in a forest. But... where were the others?
I got up slowly. I felt smaller for some reason.
I heard water somewhere nearby. At least I think it was nearby. My hearing was sharper than usual. Following the sound of the rushing water, I turned right and ran towards it. Why am I running on all fours? I asked myself. But I shrugged that thought off and kept going.
When I reached the water, I looked at my reflection. Staring back at me, with crystalline blue eyes, was... a fox.
"NANI!"
"Gah! How did this happen?" I panicked, "What happened at the palace? All I remember is a bright light... Then I... everything went black. How can I talk if I'm a fox? More importantly, where are the others?"
I started running again, to a direction that I hoped led me out of this forest. My ninja headband was now around my neck, and bothered me a little while I ran. I soon heard people talking.
"I must be close to the Hidden Leaf village!" I said. "Oh yeah! Score one for Naruto, the ninja... fox!"
You're gonna have to wait till. . . I guess the 2nd, 3rd or 4th of August for the next chapter. I hope you're patient enough until then!
Ja ne!
