A Fox's Remembrance

It was a beautiful day in Konohagakure no Sato. The sky was blue, the people were out and about, the wind was blowing...and a young 10-year-old boy was running through the streets of the village. At the speed of sound.

He was very well built for his age. Lean, practical, and still developing muscles covered his lithe frame, bright green eyes shining with the reflecting light of the sun and blond, blue streaked hair was blowing in the breeze. His clothes consisted of a pair of red sneakers, blue jeans, a white V-neck, and jean vest.

This, is Uzumaki Naruto. Ever since that day three years ago, when he screwed up that exploding seal, he, somehow, had been blessed with super speed. Today, he was testing his speed. He wanted to see just how far he could push himself, and today was another milestone. A sonic boom.

He smiled. Especially when he heard all the people screaming at him for causing chaos with the blast of wind from his speed run. He grinned and chuckled. He loved hearing them complain about his speed. They could complain all they wanted, they were too slow to do anything about it. And then...an explosion. Naruto chuckled. His prank bomb went off without a hitch.

"NARUTO!" Now comes the real fun part! Naruto sped up, he knew the jonin and the anbu would be on him before too much longer. And the jonin of the leaf soon appeared in front of him, forcing Naruto to slide to a halt.

"Um...Hi guys." Naruto said with a nervous chuckle. The jonin were covered in bright orange paint, and were glaring at the 10-year-old prankster.

"You think this is funny you little prick!?" One of the jonin said to Naruto.

"Yes. Yes, I do." Naruto then waved and grinned. "Byeeeeeeeeee!" He then sped off in the opposite direction.

"After that little brat!" One of the jonin said as he and the rest of them charged after Naruto.

Naruto decided not to go too fast with these guys. After all, he wanted to have some fun with these guys first. The jonin all started gaining on Naruto, but as soon as they caught up to him, they noticed that he was running backwards.

"Running is good exercise ain't it?" He asked the surprised ninjas. The jonin that yelled at Naruto before, looked flabbergasted.

"How is he doing that?" He asked no one inparticular.

"Years of practice!" Naruto answered as he sped up again.

Naruto went back to running forward and then ran right up the side of a building before proceeding to roof hop all over the village at speeds the jonin were finding hard to keep up with. One by one, they starting running out of breath and ended up falling to the ground in a dead heep. Naruto saw this and ran back over to the panting jonin.

"Oh come on you guys! Don't give up yet." But they were all wiped out. Naruto just shook his head.

"Man. Quality of jonin just keeps going down around here." Just then the group of jonin jumped and grabbed at Naruto, dog pilling on him.

"Now we got cha ya little piece of shit!" One of them said.

"I've got his neck!" Another one said.

"I've got him around the leg!" Cried another.

"Alright guys, now let's yank him apart!"

They all pulled at what they thought was Naruto, only for them to realize too late that they were pulling on each other! They ended up being pulled in a circle and then they all fell in a heap.

Naruto was sitting on some stairs a few feet away. He watched the jonin making fools of themselves and just shrugged. Suddenly, he found a net draped over him.

"It's ok fellas, I got him." Said a jonin from behind him.

"That's what you think." Naruto said before he took off running again, dragging the jonin behind him. The other jonin tried to help their friend but they too ended up getting pulled along for the ride. Naruto turned two sharp corners and the jonin crashed into the side of a building.

Naruto shook off the net and ran off once again. But he didn't get too far before a bunch of Anbu appeared in front of him. And they were all covered in orange and pink paint.

"Um...hi guys. What's new?"

The Anbu said nothing. They just glared at Naruto. Or, at least he thought they were glaring at him. I was hard to tell through their masks.

"Umm. Scream and run?" Naruto asked with a nervous smile. The Anbu nodded.

"Alright then." And with that, Naruto sped off in the other direction as fast as he could. Unfortunately, the Anbu were right behind him!

Naruto bobbed and weaved left and right, trying desperately to shake the Anbu. Naruto was about to crank his speed to the max, when he suddenly found himself running straight towards another squad of Anbu.

"YIPE!" He cried as he slid to a stop.

The Anbu went through a series of hand signs.

"Doton: Earth Cage!" They called out as they slammed their hands on the ground. As Naruto slid to a stop, pillars of earth sprung up and surrounded him.

"Now we got ya, ya little brat!" Said one of the Anbu. Naruto growled, but he still had one last trick up his sleeve.

As the Anbu closed in, Naruto crouched down. He closed his eyes then flung them open, as he did, his green eyes glowed a bright cobalt blue, energy coursing through him as he charged up. The Anbu were a little taken aback, because whatever this energy, it wasn't Chakra. It was way more powerful, so much so it was giving them the creeps.

'I hope I got this right. Let's see if I can copy Choji's technique.'

Naruto's glowing eyes fixed on the Anbu in front of him, and then...he turned into a spinning ball of blue energy. The Anbu stepped back in surprise. Suddenly, the blue ball of energy charged forward and broke right through the earth pillars and plowed right through the Anbu.

Naruto kept charging forward at top speed. After a few seconds, he returned to normal...only for him to stumble and wobble unsteadily.

"Whoa...Dizzy. I'm dizzy." Naruto said as he tried to get his balance back. He shook his head and looked back at his handy work.

"Hah! Oh yeah! I did it!" Naruto said as he pumped his fist into the air. The Anbu shook their heads as they looked at Naruto.

"See ya suckers!" He said as charged off. All the Anbu looked to where Naruto ran and could only think one single thought...

"What. The. Hell."

Naruto was happy. He had outsmarted the jonin and the Anbu! And now, it was time to celebrate with his favorite food...RAMEN! He ran to Ichirakus and was ready to get his grub on, but when he got there...

"No." He couldn't believe what he was seeing. "No." It couldn't be. "No." It just couldn't be.

"NNNOOOOOOO!"

Ichiraku Ramen...was closed. Naruto fell to his knees in sorrow.

"You FOOLS! Why? WHY!?" As Naruto bawled his little eyes out, he heard a snickering from behind. He turned around and saw...

"You!"

A young woman with purple hair in a high ponytail, wearing a fishnet shirt, an orange shirt and a tan trench coat.

"Heh heh heh." The woman chuckled. "Hello Naru-chan! Did you miss you cute Anko-neechan!?" She asked in a teasing voice. Naruto growled.

"You're behind this aren't you?" He growled at Anko.

"What?" She said in a mock-innocent voice.

"You think I would get your favorite place to eat closed down? Why would I ever do that? Except to get back at you for calling my dango stupid!" Her voice went from innocent to angry as she spoke.

"That's because ramen is WAY better than dango! And this was just going too far you pudgy snake!"

That last comment got Anko so steaming mad she turned red in the face.

"Pudgy? PUDGY!? I'm as in shape as can be! You little half pint porcupine!" She screamed at the young blond. Naruto scoffed.

"I'd rather be a half pint than an overweight has been who's long past her prime."

"That did it," Anko said, madder than ever. "Now, I'm going to KILL YOU!"

Anko charged at Naruto and he dashed away, bobbing and weaving left and right as Anko dashed at him. Naruto made faces at Anko as he evaded her charges, eventually she had enough.

"Striking Shadow Snakes!" Snakes flew from Anko's sleeve and headed right for Naruto.

"AGH!" Naruto screamed as he dodged the snakes. Anko was impressed. From all that she had been told, Naruto was the worst student at the academy, and yet he managed to prank a bunch of jonin, the Anbu, and now was managing to evade her! Granted she wasn't being serious but still, for a ten-year-old, the kid wasn't that bad.

Naruto knew he couldn't keep this up forever, he needed a plan to get away from the 'Crazy Snake Lady'. Remembering something he saw in a movie, Naruto started jumping from point to point, building wall to building wall, and everywhere else his speed could take him until suddenly, he stopped.

The snakes rushed at their prey; mouths wide open...only to end up stopping two feet from their mark. Anko looked around and saw what Naruto did. He managed to get the snakes to tie themselves into one big knot.

"Ha! What's wrong boys? A little tied up?" Naruto asked, mocking the snakes.

"And you wonder why everyone thinks dragons are smarter than you slimy creeps." The snakes took offense to that and tried desperately to bite at Naruto, but to no avail. Anko dispelled the snakes, an annoyed but impressed look on her face.

"That all you got snake hag!?" Naruto called to Anko. "Oh, and one more thing. DANGO SUCKS SNAKE BALLS!"

Now, Anko was PISSED!

"Why you little!" She flew through some hand signs and slammed her hand on the ground.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" And from the ground came a large python that charged straight for the unprepared Naruto.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed as the large serpent swallowed him whole. Anko chuckled. The snake wouldn't digest the kid, but it would hold him until she could drop him off at the...

Suddenly, the python's eyes went wide as what looked like an explosion was occurring within its body, going from just below its head all the way to its tail before a blue ball of energy tore its way from the end of the serpent's tail! Anko was wide eyed and slack jawed with astonishment as the snake summon was dispelled from the damage it took. And then she saw the blue sphere turn into Naruto, who was sitting in a puddle of stomach acid.

"Aaahhhh! That was soooooo gross! I can't believe I overheard a bunch of older kids talking about actually liking that kind of crap!" He whined as he tried to fling the remnants of the stomach acid off of his body. He turned to look at Anko and glared at her.

"You stupid, mean, snake lady! Why would you go and do that to a little kid, huh? The only thing worse than that is your taste in dango and your face you ugly fatty!"

Anko finally snapped! She dashed right at Naruto and tackled him to the ground.

"Fatty!? FATTY!?" Anko was seeing red. "I'll show you fat!" She screams as she buries his head in between her breasts.

"How do you like that, huh? How do you like these sacks of fat, huh!? HUH!?" She screamed as she kept smothering the poor boy. Naruto struggled, but he couldn't get free, what's worse...He couldn't breathe!

Suddenly, Anko felt a sharp pain in her ear as she was yanked off of Naruto.

"Ow ow ow ow ow!" She cried as another young woman pulled on her ear.

"Anko, what the hell are you doing?" Asked a young woman with black hair and red eyes.

"Nai-chan!" Anko cried as the woman, named Kurenai, continued to yank her ear.

"He insulted my dango! And he called me fat!" Kurenai shook her head.

"She closed my favorite place to eat!" Naruto shouted as he got air back into his lungs. Kurenai looked at Anko.

"Anko," Kurenai said to her friend. "Is this true?" Anko looked a little nervous.

"Maybe..." She said. Kurenai shook her head, then looked at Naruto.

"Naruto, shouldn't you be in school right now?" She asked the young man.

"Uuuuhhhhhh..." And with that, Naruto ran as fast as his legs could carry him.

"Hey! He's getting away!" Anko shouted as she tried to break away from Kurenai to give chase only for her friend to yank her back again.

"Leave. The kid. Alone, Anko." Kurenai said in a stern and maternal voice. The snake jonin looked back to her friend.

"But Nai-chan!"

"Don't Nai-chan me, Anko. What were you even thinking trying to suffocate a ten-year-old with your breasts like that? You do realize that this is why a lot of people think you're a pedophile like you know who, right?"

Anko gave Kurenai the stink eye look.

"Don't you dare compare me to him, you bitch."

Naruto kept running. After a while he was sure he was far enough away from the two jonin that he could breathe a sigh of relief. But just as he was starting to relax, his feet got stuck in the ground.

"OOPH!" Naruto cried as he found that he was literally, stuck in place.

"What the heck?" Naruto looked at his feet, and a look of horror soon spread across his face.

"Oh no. Mega muck!" Naruto pulled on his own legs and clawed at the ground, desperately trying to free himself from the super mud that had him stuck in place.

"I told you that would stop him." Came a voice from behind him. Naruto turned and saw an Anbu with purple hair and a cat mask and a certain chunin teacher of his.

"Neko-neechan! Iruka-sensei!" Naruto said as he tried to look innocent. The neko Anbu gave Iruka the money that he had won in their little bet and then looked to Naruto.

"You should've known that you wouldn't be able to escape the two of us Naruto. What on Earth were you even thinking, trying to prank the Anbu and a bunch of jonin like that?" Naruto looked at her and Iruka.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Naruto tried to keep up his innocent act. Unfortunately, Iruka wasn't having it today.

"DON'T ACT SO CUTE AND INNOCENT NARUTO!" Iruka shouted, using his 'Big Demon Head Jutsu'.

"YOU'RE IN A LOT OF TROUBLE! YOU LITTLE BRAT!" Iruka said to Naruto. He then took some rope and tied Naruto up, Iruka then looked to Neko.

"Alright, cut him loose." Neko unsheathed her sword from back and cut Naruto's feet free. Iruka then grabed Naruto and started marching him back to the Academy.

"Let me go! Let me go you big meanie!" Naruto cried as he tried to kick his way free of Iruka's grip.

"Oh, just give it up Naruto. Honestly, would it kill you to just be a normal student who follows the rules and doesn't get into trouble?"

Naruto pretended to choke and acted like he was dying.

"Very funny Naruto." Iruka said, obviously not buying it. "And why don't you get a dang hair cut already?"

"Never!" Naruto shouted. "The day I cut my hair short is the day I hang up my sneaks!"

"Sneaks?" Iruka asked. Naruto sighed.

"My sneakers." Naruto said in a huff.

"Oh." Was all Iruka said as he dragged Naruto back to the school.

At the school, the whole class was laughing at Naruto, who was all tied up and hanging from the ceiling. Naruto glared at them.

"This is humiliating." Naruto said to no one in particular.

"Well then, maybe you'll stop acting the way you have been and behave like a regular kid." Iruka said to the hanging boy.

"Don't bet on it." Naruto said as he crossed his legs.

"Well, just for that, it's time for a pop quiz!" The whole class moaned and threw paper balls at Naruto. Which didn't do much since he dodged them all.

"Today's pop quiz will be about the first Great Shinobi War."

"Oh boy, my favorite subject!" Naruto said. That got everyone in class to look at Naruto with weird looks.

"What?" Naruto asked everyone. Iruka ignored them and started his pop quiz.

"Ok, so, who can tell me what significance the Waring States Period had for the founding of our village? And Sakura, let someone else answer this time."

Sakura chuckled sheepishly. Iruka looked around and the only other people who would have known the answer, Sasuke and Shikamaru, showed no signs of even wanting to answer. Naruto sighed.

"The Waring States Period was fought mostly between various clans that were hired to fight conflicts of waring daimyos. Two of these clans were the Senju and the Uchiha. These two clans were thought to be directly related to the founder of ninjutsu, the Rikudou Sennin. Two particular members of the clans were Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara. Despite their clans being mortal enemies, these two became secret friends and spent a lot of time together. As they grew older, they came to realize how stupid and pointless their clan's rivalry was and sought to put an end to the conflict. As adults, they succeeded in this mission, and together, founded what would come to be known as the Village Hidden in the Leaves: Konohagakure no Sato."

Now everyone was really shocked. Even Iruka was shocked into silence. Naruto looked around at everyone.

"...What?" Naruto asked.

"Naruto, how do you know all that?" Sakura asked what was on everyone's mind. Naruto scoffed.

"I read. And I also pay attention in class sometimes. Whenever the subject interests me." He answered.

Iruka was also shocked to hear Naruto show his intellect at something other than pranks.

"Well, while you were mostly right Naruto, you missed a few of the finer details. Like the fact that Madara only agreed to the peace Hashirama offered after many of his fellow clansmen surrendered to the Senju. But still, I'll give you points for the abridged version, since you were the only one to actually bother to give an answer."

The day went on same as always, except that Naruto spent the whole day hanging from the ceiling. He got tired of waiting for Iruka and tried to get out of the ropes himself, but sadly, he was having no luck at all.

"Need a little help there, you troublesome blond?" Asked the voice of one of Naruto's only friends, Shikamaru Nara. Naruto looked to see Shikamaru with their other friend Choji and Naruto's sometimes friend, Kiba.

"Hehe. I wouldn't say no, Shika." Naruto said with a chuckle.

"I might be willing to help get him down." Kiba added in. "If he tells me how he cheated and got that info for the pop quiz he caused us to take." Naruto looked hurt.

"Look kibble breath, sometimes I actually find something worth learning and I crack open a book. And if I were down there on ground level I'd hit you with my new move and teach you a lesson."

Choji looked surprised at hearing that.

"You managed to copy one of my family's jutsu? Which one?" He asked the hanging boy.

"I'll tell ya, after you get me down." Naruto said to his cubby friend.

"I'll get you down." Came a voice from the door way. The boys looked and saw Iruka walking into the classroom.

"Sorry Naruto. I got caught up with talking to Mizuki and forgot to cut you down." Iruka walked over to Naruto. He cut him down and helped him to the floor. As Naruto rubbed his arms from where the ropes were tied around him, Kiba's dog, Akamaru, jumped over to Naruto and started licking him.

"Ha ha! Ok Akamaru, that's enough. But thanks, I needed that." Naruto said as he rubbed the puppy's head. Suddenly, they heard a very familiar voice.

"Oh Naru-chan! Where are you! Come out and play! Your cute and sexy big sister Anko-neechan wants to talk to you!"

Naruto tensed up. The color drained from his face as he heard Anko's voice. He and the others ran to the window and saw Anko looking around the school yard.

"There's no use in hiding Naru-chan. I can smell you." She sniffs the air. "And you smell like ramen, sweat, and fear." She looks up and gazes at the window. Naruto and the others scattered back away from the window.

"Oh no. She's found me." Naruto said in fear. Iruka looked at his young student.

"Run." He said. "Run Naruto, run." And with that, Naruto ran for the door, only for it to slam open revealing Anko, grinning like the cat that caught the canary.

"Got ya!" She said.

"AH!" Naruto screamed as he backed away. Anko started walking slowly towards Naruto as he backed away.

"Come here my little Naru-chan." Anko said as she came closer to him. Naruto kept backing away in fear. Suddenly, a flash of memories came flooding into his head. Memories of a blue hedgehog fighting an army of robots, jumping, punching, kicking, and turning into a spinning ball and plowing through them at super speed.

Naruto's face gained a stern and serious expression. He narrowed his eyes as the glowed from green to blue. Suddenly, Naruto started spinning his whole body into a glowing ball of energy.

"Uh oh." Anko said as Naruto charged right at her at sonic speed.

"OOOPH!" Anko cried as Naruto plowed right into her and blasted her right throw the door an into the opposite wall. Afterwards, Naruto shook his head and looked at the downed form of Anko, and saw that she was knock silly with swirls in her eyes.

"Welp...So long." He said as he took off at lightning speed and ran as far away as he could. As for Iruka, Choji, Shikamaru and Kiba, they all looked at what Naruto had just done. Looks of shock and astonishment overtook them as they looked at the unconcious Anko.

"Wow...he really did manage to copy my family's jutsu." Choji said at last.

Naruto kept running, he wanted to get as far away from Anko as possible. He finally came to a stop and looked around. Seeing that he was in the shopping district, Naruto just started walking through the streets, rubbing his stomach.

"I'm so hungry!" He cried. "But with no ramen, what am I supposed to eat?"

Naruto kept walking, but as he did, he caught a whiff of something delicious in the air.

"Whoa. Something smells good." Naruto followed his nose to find the source of whatever it was he was smelling. Before too long, he came across a small stall. He walked over to it and saw a guy working on something.

"Hey mister," he said to the man. "What smells so good over here?"

The owner of the stall looked at the young boy and smiled.

"Oh, hey there kid. Well, if you must know, I've just recently revived a long lost recipie from the old world. From the time before the Rikudou Sennin. People used to call it, a 'Chili Dog'."

"A chili dog?" Naruto asked. For some odd reason, that sounded so familiar.

"Can I try one? I'm really hungry." Naruto asked him. The stall owner gave Naruto the price, and after Naruto paid, he looked at the chili dog, he sniffed it, looked at it for a second, and then took a bite.

His eyes shot open!

"YUMMY!" He shouted.

"You mean...really like?" The stall owner asked.

"Like it!? I LOVE IT! It's delicious!" Naruto exclaimed as he ate the chili dog. After finishing it, Naruto place more money on the counter.

"Hit me with two more for the road pops!" He said. And that made the stall owner happy.

"You got it kid." And after taking his two chili dogs, Naruto headed back to his apartment. After chowing down on his new favorite food, Naruto decided to hit the sack.

As he drifted off to sleep, Naruto's mind became filled with images of cities, robots, and anthropomorphic animals. A yellow two tailed fox, a red echidna, and pink hedgehog with beautiful green eyes, a black and red streaked hedgehog with red eyes that for some reason bugged the crap out of him and lastly, a blue hedgehog with green eyes.

But the strange thing was, he only saw the blue hedgehog when he looked at a reflection of himself. It was like he was the blue hedgehog. He was running around, fighting the robots, saving people, and hanging with all these animal people. And then he was carrying the pink hedgehog, and gazed into her eyes. And then he was looking at others beautiful animal girls; a brown chipmunk girl with red hair, an ubber stacked bat girl who kept snuggling up to him with her large breasts, a beautiful wolf girl with a shy look on her face, a curvy rabbit girl with robot legs and a robot arm, a purple haired mongoose, and a super curvy hedgehog girl cuddling up to him on his other side.

They all cuddled up to him and started kissing him. Then they all whispered a something to him...

"Sonic..."

And Naruto shot up awake. He looked around, feeling a strange mix of emotions.

"Who the heck is Sonic?"

Welp, that's it for this chapter. Hope you guys enjoyed this one. Now, I just want to say that Naruto is starting out as ten so that I can build up his remembering of being Sonic. Also, I will be wanted to ask you guys if I should bump up the genin age to 15 or just leave things at the canon age.

Also, I want to hear your thoughts on which Sonic characters should be reincarnated as. As you can guess, Sonic's love interests will include, but not be limited to, Amy (Sakura), Rouge(Ino), Sally, Bunnie, Breezie, Mina Mongoose, and Whisper the Wolf. I'm also adding Naruto girls who are not reincarnations to keep things even. So who would you like to see in the harem?

PM me or leave your suggestions in the reviews and let me know what you think. Keep it way past cool guys.
