Hey guys sorry for the long wait, school is my number one priority at the moment and I can't afford to slack off. That doesn't mean that I can't continue this story, it just means that I have to set aside some time every now and then to type it. Easier said then done when my work decides to make an inconsistent schedule. Finals are this week so I'm hoping to get this chapter done before the break. If not, Merry Christmas everyone!.


(Previously)

Suiton Style: Unprecedented Death!

Rather than some huge amount of water crashing into her or something, all that appeared from Hashirama's jutsu was several hundred rain droplets. Naruto sweat dropped. This is the strength of one of Konohagakure's founders?It's rather... Underwhelming to say the least.

Not even a second after the thought passed through Naruto's mind did something happen. All the water that had landed on the women's body had become a needle and had impaled her. Naruto couldn't help but stare at the gruesome sight. The woman's body was being held up by the hundreds of water needles that had impaled her. She slowly turned her head towards him and spoke in a raspy, chilling voice.

"The void lusts for you. The void will have you. You can not escape us, we will always find you. You will be ours!"

With those foreboding words, she went limp. Seconds passed before she started to disappear into nothingness. Hashirama walked over to him, obviously looking to have his questions answered.

"Boy, you and I are going to have a nice long chat about what just happened and why a former Konoha shinobi became a murderous lunatic."

Naruto gulped.


(Present)

Naruto could tell that he was in way over his head. There was no way that he could lie to the founder of the greatest hidden village in the history! Naruto knew that there really was no point in trying to lie as for one, Hashirama was already dead so there was nothing he could really do with the information and two, why would he? He's dead, he probably just wants to be done with all the bull that happens in the shinobi world.

With that in mind, he decided to come clean. He told Hashirama everything that would relate to the incident with the ghost of the Konoha Shinobi.

"Boy," sighed Hashirama, leaning back against the wall, "From what your telling me all I can deduce is that you are the container of the Kyuubi and that my little student has either failed as my successor or his hands are tied by the damn council."

"Do you mean Jiji? He's doing everything he can! Don't think that he's failed, he is the only reason that I'm still alive!" Naruto quickly defended the only one who had ever done anything for him, "He was the one who made it possible for me to survive at all and the one who help[ed me start learning how to control my chakra."

It was true. If it wasn't for the Hokage explaining it to him he would have most likely ended up dead. Hell, he wouldn't have ever met Fang!

'NARUTO!'

'Speak of the devil.' was all Naruto could think before Fang leaped from the darkness and landed between him and Hashirama. Growling, Fang bared her teeth at the previous Hokage looking a hell of a lot more fierce than Naruto had ever seen her.

'I will tear you to pieces if you think that you can hurt my kit!' Fang snarled.

"WAIT!" Naruto moved to quickly correct her, "He isn't trying to harm me, he's the one that saved me!"

Fang didn't move from her position, but she did stop growling; 'Save you from what?' She questioned.

"It was one of those spirits that have lost themselves in the sea of hatred." When she heard that she couldn't help but freeze.

'What did it say?' she asked with a slight quiver in her voice, 'WHAT DID IT SAY?!'

Naruto flinched in fear. She had never sounded so... Afraid. Seeing that her tail was beginning to twitch, he quickly recited what the spirit had said before it had disappeared.

'The void lusts for you. The void will have you. You can not escape us, we will always find you. You will be ours!' He quoted before hesitantly asking why she wanted to know.

Fang slowly rose from her protective stance giving Hashirama with a suspicious and wary look.

'Why did you help him? You could have just turned your back and acted as though you hadn't seen a thing. What are you after, what do you want from my kit?! What do you WANT!?' Fang was slightly hysterical at this point, causing Hashirama to step back in slight surprise.

Hashirama really couldn't understand how this rather peaceful and uneventful day had turned into... well, this! First he saw a ghost of a ghost of a Konoha shinobi attacking a child, then he watched as the child did things that even child prodigy's would have trouble doing. Those two things would have been more than enough for him to call it a day, but then a freaking semi-psychic fox comes out of nowhere and calls the child her kit; a human being called a baby fox! he knew now that this was no ordinary child and was in fact the container of the Kyuubi, the most powerful Bijuu.

'Is there any possibility that you could teach Naruto the art of seals?' Hashirama didn't know where it came from, or why he was even contemplating teaching the boy. He was dead for crying out loud! The term 'rest in peace' just isn't true!

"May I ask why?" Fang asked, unaware of the internal debate Hashirama was having with himself at the moment.

"I do hope that you know what you contain." Hashirama directed both his answer and question at Naruto, unintentionally being rude to Fang.

"I figured it out by accident, I have yet to talk to the Kyuubi(A/N Right? I'm not forgetting anything am I?) though."

Hashirama turned his gaze towards Fang who seemed to be his guardian... or at least the one who looked after him. Fang stared back for a few seconds before finally giving a slight nod of approval.

"Looks like your going to be a very busy person for the next few years."


(Time skip: 2 years- Naruto's Age: 8)

Naruto stared at the Hokage with a blank expression as he was briefed on what his second to last mission as an ANBU captain would be. He had been put into ANBU about two months after he had met Hashirama. Sarutobi had been forced to do this; it was either that or allow the civilian council to take control of his rights and we all know how that would've ended. Due to being a military village, if Naruto was put into a position that would make his status show that he was an active shinobi he would be under the control of the Hokage and the civilian council would have no say in what happens to him. At first Sarutobi was going to put him into the academy which normally would solve the issue, but this time the civilian council pulled the fact that since he wasn't doing any missions that would in any way benefit the village he wouldn't be considered a part of the military, and in fact wan't part of the military until he graduated from the academy.

Sarutobi, after many arguments with the council, just decided to put him in the ANBU as a recruit. By doing so he saved Naruto from living on the streets, but at the same time restricted him from contacting Fang. Of course he didn't know about Fang so he could plead ignorance on that issue.

When Naruto was told of this, he was torn. Yes, he was happy that he was going to be trained by the best of the best, but at the same time he would be unable to meet up with Fang. Now, two years later he would be able to meet up with Fang again when he finished this mission and the next. After that he would be free to meet up with her. He hadn't seen or heard from her since he was placed in ANBU. It hurt, especially when she said that she would talk to him via telepathy.

"Wolf," Hiruzen spoke, cutting through his thoughts, "Are you listening to me?"

"Hai jiji" Naruto internally laughed as he watched Hiashi's face contort with disgust at the blatant disrespect.

"Hokage-sama, is this- this child truly the strongest you have?" Hiashi asked, glaring at Naruto who was thankful for the mask covering his face. Why? Because he was sticking his tongue out and making weird faces at Hiashi.

"Wolf, stop making weird faces at our client!"

"Nani! How'd ya know jiji, you cant even see my face?!" Naruto stared at Saru-jiji(A/N As you see I have no idea what to call him) in wonder. "Boy I was the one who trained you. No matter what is covering your face I know what your doing." Hiruzen turned to Hiashi who was glaring at Naruto, "As for your question, yes he is the strongest we have to offer. He is also the only one who we allow to take missions solo for the sole fact that just his presence is enough to cause those who are weak to pass out or die."

Hiashi glared at the Hokage, "Don't take me for a fool, I don't feel anything from him!"

Hiruzen, rather than assert his authority, simply stared Hiashi and said two words.

"Show him"

Instantly Hiashi found it hard to breath as a feeling of hopelessness seemed to crush him. Dropping to his hands and knees Hiashi looked up to try and find the source of the pressure. He found his eyes being drawn towards the ANBU that had been assigned to him.

"Byakugan!" Hiashi activated his bloodline without thinking. The pressure disappeared due to him countering it with his own, but the pressure was from chakra. His bloodline lets him see the amount of chakra that a person has. The second he activated his bloodline was the second he knew that he would never underestimate the one he Had called a child.

Everything was blue as Naruto's chakra was allowed to relax and spread, though Hiashi didn't know that it was Naruto. Hiashi made the mistake of looking at Naruto himself. Giving a cry of pain he deactivated his bloodline and clutched his head in pain.

"H-How much chakra does he have?" Hiashi questioned, applying a minor healing jutsu to his eyes and head.

Hiruzen chuckled and leaned forward, "Despite his appearance, he has the chakra capacity of the eight tailed bujii."

Hiashi could only gape at the Hokage, whipping his head to look at Naruto, then back to Hiruzen.

"If that's all then you should get going. You have a peace treaty to make."

"H-Hai, Hokage-sama." Hiashi made a note to himself that from now on he was going to be siding with the Hokage in any council meetings they have.


That's a wrap. I'm so sorry for the long ass delay. I have my college class, Auto 105b, the first one that I had to take before I could go on to anymore advanced courses. On top of that I was promoted at work to the meat department and I now work anywhere between 30-50 hours a week. On top of all that, I still have High School. As you can see I am a very busy person. At least I'm ahead and am on top of things. Most my age don't even attempt to take a college class that's related to their major till they're finished with High School. Also if you're in anyway emotionally connected with Fang, then I'm sorry for what my mind came up with in the middle of writing this. Criticize me and flame me, I like it.
