Watashi no Chibi Kitsune
Summary: It seemed that Naruto was given a second chance to have a family. But will it end tragically or will it have a happy ending?
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in Naruto.
Author's Note: In this story, I decided to make Jiraiya and Tsunade as husband and wife and they lived in a dojo in Konoha. By the way, the title meant ' My Little Fox'. Anyway, enjoy.
Chapter 1
"Has the deed been done?" asked the figure in a black cloak.
There were a few shuffling sound before the second figure in a blue cloak answered.
"Hai".
"Good. Let's get out of here," answered the first one.
With that the two mysterious shinobis vanished without a trail. What they didn't know was that they were being watched.
"Hmm… This should prove to be interesting," Jiraiya said with a smirk and disappeared.
The next morning
Sakura was tapping her foot, impatiently waiting for the arrival of her 'lazy of a pervert' teacher and a certain blond haired 'kitsune'. Sasuke was leaning on the side rail of the bridge with a scowl on his face and tried desperately not to fall asleep in boredom. As the minute passed by, Sakura's tapping became louder and Sasuke's scowling became darker and he was desperately became sleepier; the noise doesn't help the situation any further.
"Would you just stop it already?"
Sakura 'humphed' in response and glared at Sasuke. Ever since she realized that Sasuke would never return her feelings, she had been cold and distant. Often, she could be seen training with Kakashi to relieve her anger. Although Sasuke never admit it, he liked the new and improved Sakura better than the previous one.
After a few minutes of glaring at each other, Sakura finally lowered her gaze and completely missed the victory smirk on Sasuke's face. Another minute passed by and finally Kakashi decided to appear. He was immediately bombarded by Sakura's scream of 'you're late'.
"Yo, sorry for coming late. I was helping a little bird that was about to be pounced by a fat cat," came the lame excuse from the famous copy-nin.
"Liar!" was the only response from the pink haired kunoichi.
"Sigh Okay. Anyway, Sarutobi-sama requested our presence so, we better go."
"B-But, what about Naruto?" came the panicked reply.
"Another sigh That, was what Sarutobi-sama wanted to discussed about."
Sasuke who had been quite through out the whole conversation, suddenly perked up in interest at hearing Naruto's name being mentioned and the seriousness in Kakashi's voice. He scowled in annoyance.
"What did the dope do now? Getting himself into trouble again?"
"Sasuke! Stop insulting Naruto like that. At least, show some concern," Sakura almost shouted out of frustration. Silence filled out the almost empty clearing.
Two shocked faces and two dropped jaws later
Sakura was walking ahead of Sasuke and Kakashi with a scowl on her face. Kakashi meanwhile was oblivious to his surrounding, only focusing on his little orange book. Sasuke was in deep thought, still shocked from today's event, though he never showed it. He quickly recovered when he saw the tower nearing.
Inside the tower
Sandaime sighed and eyed the stack of paper work wearily. He picked up the smoke pipe and began to puff. A child like giggle could be heard throughout the room and brought a smile to the Hokage's face.
"Naruto, Naruto, where are you?"
Naruto quickly popped his head out of his hiding place. Sarutobi chuckled at the cute displayed. Once again Naruto covered himself up with a blanket and would only revealed himself if he were asked.
A knock from the door, brought the Sandaime's attention and he quickly put little Naruto in his crib for his nap. He then sat himself in front of the mounted paper work, pretending to do them. Another knock sounded and he let them in. When he saw Kakashi and his team, he gave them a small smile.
"I'm still waiting for the others, so please, make yourself at home."
With that said, Kakashi resumed reading his favorite book while Sasuke continued with his inner thoughts. Meanwhile, Sakura was thinking of a way to torture Naruto for making her wait too long.
A few minutes later, a loud noise could be heard followed by string of curses. Inside, four sweat drops with two gaping mouths, one bored look and a sigh could be seen and heard. After a few seconds, a sick looking man popped his head into the room and quickly apologizes. Then after opening the door, he ushered his team in. They all bowed politely.
"I, Gekkou Hayate with my team consist of Shiranui Genma, Hagane Kotetsu and Kamizuki Izumo, reported for duty."
Sandaime nodded in approval before turning his gaze towards Genma.
"Shiranui-san, the next time I heard those dirty words coming out of your mouth, I'll make sure to tell Ibiki-san to come and discipline that mouth of yours. You remembered what happened last time, right?"
Genma visibly gulped and sweat when he remembered that horrible 'incident'.
"And besides, you shouldn't have said those words in front of the kids," the Hokage continued on while resumed with his work.
Genma blinked in confusion and he finally realized the other three occupants in the room. He gave them a sheepish grin and scratched the back of his head while trying not to appear nervous by Kakashi's death glare.
A soft sniff from the door adjoined to the other room brought everyone's attention. There stood Naruto, eyes brimming with tears while clutching a dolphin plushy. Seeing so many people in the room, he quickly latched himself onto Sandaime's leg. The Hokage chuckled while patting the blonde's head. He then picked Naruto up and faced him towards his audience. Seeing the curious faces, he decided to give them a little hint.
"Hmm… Thought you'd guys would recognize him but since none of you didn't, here's a little hint. There is only one boy, in this village, that has blond hair, blue eyes, and three whiskers on each side of his cheeks."
Finally, only one name that clicked on everyone's head and at that realization everyone's too shock to response. Seeing the 'funny' look on everyone's face, Naruto laughed while the Hokage chuchkled. The rest of the hour the Hokage was bombarded with questions and tried to answer as many as possible. Naruto meanwhile was having a day of his life because during the discussion, Sakura decided to play with the little boy while the rest were discussing or rather arguing about the responsibilities of taking of a three-year-old.
After a few hours, the Hokage rest his case and retire for the day. Who would've thought dealing with his subordinates could be tiring. 'I must be getting old'. The Hokage chuckled at his thought, stood up, said his goodbye and patted Naruto on the head before leaving the room. The rest meanwhile, retire to their assigned rooms for the night with little Naruto tucked safely in Sakura's arms.
