The Heir to the Kitsune Clan

Intro:

Here's chapter four, it was not the easiest one to write. And I have to say it isn't the most exciting chapter, but it is a necessary one. Okay, so no one has guessed the right kitsune, or at least the one I'm thinking about. I'll give you guys one more time to guess, okay this person is a regular on the show. Think of someone who may have a personal past in the village but who's family past is known little of.

To my reviewers:

Thank you to everyone who reviewed last chapter, you are an inspiration to me and I can't wait to see what you think and want to happen. Also Sai has been guessed correctly and his sub seal has been discussed… or at least gave me some ideas. To duke please leave me an e-mail so that I can get you to work on TenTen's, if you don't then who guessed TenTen second will get to make it. As I don't know when Sai or TenTen will appear I don't know by when I will need their sub seal so I like to have them as soon as possible.

Disclaimer: Naruto does not belong to me, if he did then I'd give him longer hair.

"Naruto talking to Kyuubi in his head/or inner Hinata talking to Hinata."

Raman and Perverts – Chapter Four

Naruto and Hinata walked into Ichiraku's and took seats. "Hay Naruto-kun, who's your friend?" Ayame asked as she came to get their orders.

"Hi Ayame-chan, this is Hyuga Hinata and she's heir." Was all he said to her.

Ayame looked at her and smiled. "Nice to meet you, heir-chan." she said with a bow.

Hinata looked at the other girl and gulped at the treatment. "Nice to meet you… Could you just call me Hinata?" she asked with a slight stutter.

Ayame smiled at her. "As you wish, Hinata-sama. What can I get for you two?" she asked.

"I'll have five beef and six miso," said Naruto, looking at Hinata expectantly.

"Oh!… Umm, I'll take a bowl of shrimp please," she said in a shy voice.

"Right, I'll go tell pops," said Ayame, walking into the back to get the old man.

"Hey, Naruto-kun! Have you seen Sasuke-kun?" questioned Sakura, walking into the stand and up to him.

Naruto looked confused. "No, I haven't Sasuke-chan, why is the teme missing?" he asked her.

She looked down and sighed before answering. "Yeah, he disappeared out of the hospital. And to top it all off Lee-kun is having a really hard time." She sighed again and said. "He may not be able to be a ninja, his injuries were so bad."

Naruto seemed shocked. "That… that can't be true! Fuzzy-brow's not able to be a ninja?" he said with a sad face. Hinata looked like she was going to cry when Naruto looked over at her.

"Hey, none of that Hinata-chan! We'll find a way to heal Lee-kun, I promise!" Naruto said, pumping his fist into the air.

"Well, I'm going to go try and find Sasuke-kun, bye Naruto-kun," she said, leaving as quickly as she came.

Hinata looked a little shell shocked at the other girl's abruptness, and before Naruto could say anything Ayame and Teuchi came and brought them their orders. "Here you go, and it is a pleasure to meet you at last, Hinata-sama," said Teuchi with a smile, placing her order in front of her.

"Nice… to meet you too," she replied with a small smile to him.

"Here you go Naruto-kun," said Ayame, giving him his first bowl.

"Thanks Ayame-chan," he replied, digging into his meal.

"Hey Naruto-kun, did you hear?" questioned Teuchi from behind the bar.

Naruto looked up with a mouth full of noodles. "Hear what?" he mumbled out.

Teuchi smiled and looked around, making sure the last customer had left and no one was near the entrance before he answered. "The ink has found the snake," he said with a gleam in his eye.

Naruto swallowed his noodles and an evil gleam filled his own eye's before he replied. "Thanks for the news, Teuchi-san," was all he said as he once more dug into his food.

"Ummm, Naruto-kun?" asked Hinata, looking lost. Naruto looked over at her and just stared at her for a minute before he remembered she was his new clan heir.

He then started choking on his food, causing Hinata to pound him on the back. When he finally got his breath back he looked at her and said, while scratching the back of his head, "Gomen 'bout that, I'm still getting used to having a superior."

"Its okay Naruto-kun," she replied shyly.

"Okay, so ink is a… Hummm, I guess you could call him an undercover agent, and, well snake is THE snake." He told her with a smile. She thought about it for a minute before nodding her head at him and smiling.

…after they finished eating…

"Later old man Teuchi," yelled Naruto behind him as he and Hinata left Ichiruka. "Okay, so Hinata-chan, tomorrow meet me at the same place and same time and we can continue your training." He told her as the made her way to the Hyuga compound.

"Okay, I'll do my best Naruto-kun," she said, gathering her courage as she turned to go into the lion's den (aka Hyuga compound).

He smiled at her and said to her retreating figure. "Don't forget who you are, Hinata-chan."

She stopped and squared her shoulders before saying over her shoulder. "I won't Naruto-kun, I won't." Naruto smiled as he turned away and began to walk toward the forest once more.

Before he got very far Kakashi decided to pop up. "Yo!" he said.

Naruto gaped at him. "Umm hi, uhhh Kakashi-sensei… Can I help you?" he asked the man.

Kakashi looked down at his student and wondered what was up. Hum, I could have sworn he would immediately start begging me to train him, I wonder what has brought about this change. "Sorry, I can't train you myself but I found you a suitable sub," he said.

Ebisu came up from behind Kakashi and said simply, "Hi."

Naruto looked at him and sighed. "I guess that's okay, but you better not waste my time closet pervert," he said, causing Ebisu to get mad and Kakashi to look at the other man with a weird look.

"Well then, follow me and we will get started," Ebisu said as he turned and headed toward the hot springs.

"Alright," said Naruto following after him wondering how he could possibly get training in a hot spring. Bet he's just going to peep.

"Most likely…" Kyuubi said with a snicker.

"Don't even think about it fur ball." Naruto replied with a scowl.

"You're no fun brat." Kyuubi replied with an exaggerated sigh.

"I never claimed to be." Naruto finished rolling his eyes.

…with Hinata at compound…

As she made her way into the compound she found herself confronted by her father. She stopped and looked up at him with apprehension on her face. "Where have you been?" he questioned her in a strict voice.

She gulped and said, "Training, Otou-san."

He raised an eyebrow at her answer and asked. "And where were you training at?"

She looked down and said, "The forest." He looked skeptical at her answer and said, "Really now? Hum I would think you are in no condition to train."

She looked up at him and said, "I'm fine, Otou-san."

He began to speak but a branch family member came in and said, "They are ready, Hyuga-sama," with a bow.

Hiashi nodded his head and said to Hinata, "That is all for now Hinata, you may go." He got up and left the room, following the branch member.

Hinata let out a sigh and made her to her room, in the hall she found herself face to face with Neji. "Hello, Neji-nii-san," she said, looking at her feet.

Neji looked at her and simply hned as he walked past her. I wonder if Neji-nii-san will ever forgive me.

"Him, forgive you?! He's the one who should be begging for forgiveness!" Inner Hinata exclaimed in fury.

Her head popped up at the thought and her face got a determined look. She spun around and said, "LISTEN NEJI-NII-SAN, just because they branded you don't blame me for it!" she yelled, causing him to stop and turn in surprise. She looked at him and said, "I'm sorry for what has happened to you but I don't care anymore! Put the blame where it belongs and at least try to act civil!"

And with that she spun on her heel and marched down the hall to her room, slamming the door closed.

Neji stared at her retreating figure, a shocked expression on his face before he scowled. Its destiny that she lost and destiny that she is no longer clan heir. What right does she have to talk to me in that way?! Just more of the main family thinking their superior to the branch family, he thought to himself before he huffed off down the hall.

Inside her room Hinata was going over everything she had learned. Sighing, she decided not to think about her family but to instead concentrate on her homework. Bringing her right hand up she began attempting to make a sinbon out of her chakra.

…at the hot springs with Naruto…

"Stupid closet pervert," Naruto mumbled as he attempted to walk on water before he once again fell in. "HOT!" he yelled jumping out of the steaming water.

Just then Ebisu looked over to the hot spring's wall and noticed a white haired old man giggling pervertedly and scribbling on a notepad. "Halt! As a shinobi I can not allow you to continue such unethical things!" Ebisue yelled as he charged at the old man only to find himself knocked out. Naruto looked at the old man sitting on the rather large frog.

He sighed and asked in an annoyed voice, "Now what am I supposed to do? I've been having trouble with my chakra and you just knocked out my teacher."

He looked expectantly at the old man. "That's none of my business," said the old man going back to his peeping.

"I'll give you one more chance to make up for what you did, if you don't… Well, you won't like what I do," said Naruto with an evil gleam in his eyes.

The old man laughed and said. "What do you think you can do that would scare me?" he questioned with a laugh.

Naruto smirked and said under his breath, "Don't say I didn't warn you." He then took a deep breath and yelled. "YOU PEEPING PERVERT!"

Naruto quickly made his way up into a tree for cover as the man began to tremble as he turned around and yelled at the boy "What did you do that for!" Suddenly a deadly silence filled the air before the sound of fists beating flesh filled the air. Naruto looked on in amusement as the old man got a rather violent beating. Only once the angry women had left did Naruto get out of the tree and make his way over to the twitching old man.

"So you gonna' take the job or should I tell them about the notebook?" he questioned the man causing his eyes to widen.

The man sat up and said. "You play dirty kid, what's your name?"

Naruto raised an eyebrow. "I could say that it is impolite to ask for someone's name without first giving yours but I'm not that conceited. I'm Uzamaki Naruto and I'm going to be the next Hokage!" he said with a smirk.

The white haired man's eye's widened slightly at that before he laughed. "Alright kid, I'll train you. By the way I'm Jiraiya of the legendary three." He said with a smirk, expecting the boy to be stunned.

"That's nice, but should a senin be a pervert?" Naruto asked, causing Jiraiya to face plant.

"I'm not a pervert kid, I'm a super pervert!" Jiraiya yelled with a perverted grin on his face. Which in turn caused Naruto to face plant.

"Hehe, I think I like this guy." Kyuubi said with a chuckle.

"You would." Naruto replied in exasperation.

"Okay Ero-senin, let's get this started I'd like to be able to go to sleep by midnight. And tomorrow morning I have something I have to do, so I'll have to meet you around noon." Naruto said, causing the other man to stare at him in shock.

"What?" Naruto asked at the look Jiraiya gave him.

"What would you have that's more important then training tomorrow morning?" Jiraiya asked him.

Naruto smirked and said. "Training, what else?"

Jiraiya looked a little confused so Naruto said, "It's private training."

"O… kay, now kid, lets get to your training. If we stop at midnight we have about four hours," said Jiraiya, motioning the boy back onto the water.

Naruto sighed and said, "Not this again," as he stepped out onto the water and managed to remain standing for all of two seconds before he fell in.

"HOT!" was heard around the village as he jumped out of the water. "Stupid snake can't keep his dirty hands to himself," he mumbled under his breath causing Jiraiya to look at him with a question in his eyes. "Okay so you see, while me and my team were in the forest of death for the second part of the chunin exam a stupid snake bastard attacked us and did something to my seal." He said, figuring the old man would know about the fox sealed inside of him.

Jiraiya sputtered at the mention of the boy's seal and said, "You know?"

Naruto cocked his head and said, "How could I not know, the stupid fur ball rarely shuts up."

"I resent that remark!" Kyuubi huffed.

"No you resemble that remark." Naruto replied.

"He talks to you?" questioned the white haired man.

"I wish I could make him shut up," replied Naruto.

"O.O"

"Quit looking at me like that!" yelled Naruto at Jiraiya's stare.

"Okay, so let's see the seal. I can probably fix it," said Jiraiya. Naruto looked really excited as he took his shirt off and channeled chakra, causing the seal to show. "This is going to hurt," said Jiraiya as the finger tips of his right hand began to glow blue, right before he slammed it into the seal yelling, "Goguoukaiin!"

"Ufh." was all Naruto got out as he flew back and landed on the ground.

The end:

This one is not quite as long as the last one, but truthfully it was a lot harder to write then the last one too. Okay so I didn't show you Tsuchi or Ayame's sub seal but they couldn't very well show that in the middle of Konoha now could they? So Hinata is starting to act a little braver, and I dropped the stutter because it's really annoying to write so the shy thing will have to do. I felt this chapter was necessary to try and keep as much to the storyline as possible, for now anyway I don't plan on changing much we will see what happens in the future.

Oh, and by the way my beta has guessed correctly who the mystery kitsune is but if a reviewer guesses correctly they will get to design the sub seal. If not then I will let Atara-chan do it, and to clear things up only adopted kitsune, or those who were not born into the kitsune clan have a fox to show their rank on their seal. All others only have one thing in common, the rose, it can be huge or small, straight or twisted.

Jutsu corner:

Goguoukaiin – means Five Part Unseal, This jutsu destroys the Five Part Seal attached to Naruto's stomach - allowing him to once again control his chakra, and tap into the chakra of the Kyuubi.

From my beta Atara:
