The Heir to the Kitsune Clan
Intro:
I'm so sorry everyone! I've had this written for a while now and just haven't taken the time to type it up…I had hoped to get two chapters out before the end of the year but I just don't see that happening now. I do plan to have a second out before the end of January at the very latest though 'crosses fingers'
I'm really getting tired of these chapters…even if they are kind of necessary for the story progression, I miss the action of the fight scenes 'sigh' hopefully I can squeeze some action into the next one XD.

The new Hokage and the Kitsune Clan – chapter 15
The entire village had turned out for the funeral ceremony. Everyone was dressed all in black as they stood before the memorial erected for those who had fallen in the battle against the forces of Sound and Sand. The Hokage gave a speech about the honor of those who had given their lives for the village, and how they would be missed.
Naruto stood with Sasuke, Sakura, Hinata, Mikon, Sai, and several other unidentified people all with heads bowed as a soft rain fell from the sky. When the Hokage ended the ceremony the group made its way to the old Uchiha compound. Entering the gates Naruto watched as foxes of various sizes and tail numbers rushed about. Some carrying things others just exploring.
"Sasuke-kun you have a map of the district right?" Mikon asked.
Sasuke nodded and said "Hai, it's at my house."
Nodding Mikon said "Well then shall we take a look? It will be easier to decide were each family should live if we can see the over all lay out of the compound."
Nodding Sasuke lead them to his home and lead them to the living room were he removed a rolled up scroll from one of the shelves lining its walls. "Here." he said handing the scroll over to Mikon.
Rolling out the scroll onto the top of the coffee table the group sat around the rectangular table and looked over the scroll. Hinata pointed to a large building just to the back of the compound and said "This one looks like it might work as the new clan head residence."
Nodding the group continued discussing which houses would best fit which family.
…next morning before sunrise…
Hinata took one last look at her old room. It was now barren of all of her personal belongings all of which fit in the large back pack sitting near the door to the room. "You okay Hinata-chan?" asked Sakura who was standing beside the Kitsune heir.
With a sigh Hinata turned to look at the pink haired kunoichi who had come to be one of her closest friends. "I'll be fine. Come let us go Sakura-chan." Hinata said hosting up the back pack.
"Hai, if you're sure then." Sakura replied following the dark haired kunoichi out of the room down the hall.
"Hai, I'm sure." Hinata said not turning back as she lead the way down the hall.
Passing threw the still silent halls of the Hyuga compound Hinata steeled herself as they neared the gate and the guards there. When they saw her their eyes widened at the sight of them asked his brow furrowed in confusion.
Shaking her head Hinata passed the guards Sakura on her heals. Looking over her shoulder the Kitsune heir said "Iie, tell Hyuga-sama that I can be could at the Kitsune Clan compound. He will know where that is."
"Who?" the guard asked in confusion even as Hinata and Sakura turned the corner.
Sakura giggled and said "Did you see his face?"
Hinata smiled and said "Hai, this is only the start you know. When the new Hokage announces the Kitsune Clans acceptance…"
Sakura sighed as Hinata trailed off and said "It'll work out! It just has to."
Hinata nodded as they arrived at the old Uchiha compound and new Kitsune Clan compound.
…Later that day at the Hokage tower…
The crowed milled about wondering why the Hokage had called this village meeting so close to yesterday. Among the crowed teams nine, eight, and ten grouped together in the crowed. Looking around Ino frowned and asked "Were is Sasuke-kun?"
Shikamaru sighed and said "This is such a drag."
"What's that supposed to mean you lazy butt!" Ino yelled raising a fist in threat at the lazy genius.
Holding up his hands in his defense Shikamaru said "Nothing, nothing!"
"None of team seven is here." Chioji pointed out between munching on a bag of chips.
Before anyone could say anything else the Hokage stepped out on his balcony raising his hands for silence. As a hush fell over the crowed the aging man began to speak his voice carrying to the crowed "We of Konoha have gone threw much these past few days. And now more then ever I feel my age down to my old bones."
These words caused protests only to be silenced as he once again began to speak "And so I have chosen the fifth Hokage."
The crowed stared as a buxomly blond woman wearing Hokage robes stepped out onto the balcony beside the older Hokage. "I present to you Sannin Tsunade. May you listen to her word, even as you have listened to mine!" Sarutobi finished taking off his hat and leaving the balcony so that the new Hokage faced the village alone.
"Its been a while eh?" Tsunade said with a grin to the stunned Konoha causing the crowed to stir and clap at the appearance of one of the Sannin accepting the job of being the Godamine Hokage.
Smiling she raised her hand and said "Now I have some announcements."
The crowed grew silent as her face grew deadly serious. "These past few days have been very hectic. And as some of you will have noticed during the invasion an unexpected ally revealed itself to us." The blond said pausing to look over the murmuring crowds.
"It was due to the aid of this new ally that so many of you still have your lives and the walls of Konoha while damaged still stand." She continued.
"And so it is with open arms that we accept them as a new clan of Konoha. They have been generously given the old Uchiha compound by Uchiha Sasuke." she paused at the uproar.
She glared them into silence as she continued. "Uchiha-san has also joined one of the families of this clan, and so it is with great pride that we welcome the Kitsune clan to Konoha!"
The crowed was in an uproar as a dark haired figure in a formal kimono stepped up next to the Hokage. The crowed stared in stunned silence as the new comer spoke. "Konichiwa Konoha. Most of you have known me as the Hyuga heir until this point. This is no longer so. I have chosen instead to become the clan head of the Kitsune clan. And while for now I am merly its heir it is still with great anticipation of our future that I ask you to call me Gekkani Hinata, as I have taken the name of the current clan head who due to cretin circumstances could not be here himself. May we grow stronger together." Hinata finished bowing to the stunned crowed.
Tsunade smirked at the crowed and said "That is all." before she and Hinata turned and left the balcony.
…at a council meeting after the announcement…
"What is the meaning of this?" One of the clan heads demanded slamming his fist onto the table.
"We will not stand for this!" added Danzo with a scowled.
Tsunade glared the room into silence and said "Are you quite threw embarrassing yourselves? Because I refuse to listen to yelling and screaming."
The group scowled as Hinata spoke "Please mina, are we not to be examples for our clans? How can we expect them to get along if we can not?"
Danzo glared at her and said "Why should we get along with such filth?"
"Because they have earned a place in Konoha." the Aburame clan head said in the calm manner his clan was known for.
"Bull shit!" Danzo exclaimed. "Was it not a bastard fox that nearly destroyed us all?"
Hinata narrowed her eyes and said "Was it not one of Konoha's famed Uchiha who destroyed his entire clan? How can you judge all Kitsune by the actions of one, yet hold Uchiha Shinkirou Sasuke to such high esteem?"
This caused some to look down and other to just glare at the girl. "Enough!" Tsunade said standing continued "Take some time to gather yourselves we will hold another clan meeting tomorrow at noon. Until then dismissed."
Hinata stood and bowed before she turned and leaving the room was meet by Mikon who was waiting for her. "So how did it go?" he asked as the two began making their way from the Hokage tower and made their way towards the new Kitsune compound.
"About as well as can be expected." the heiress replied as they arrived at the compound to find the gates surrounded by curious and angry Konoha citizens.
With a sigh Hinata said "Out of the frying pan and into the skillet." before straitening her shoulders and calling out "Would you please clear a path?"
The crowed all turned to look at her as they slowly parted allowing her threw. "Arigato." she replied as she began to track threw the crowed.
The End:
So…exiting hu? Xd yeah I know some of it seems…unlikely and a little fare fetched even to me…but over all I'm happy with the chapter and hope you at least found it informative.
Side note: when I wrote this I wrote it with Hinata introducing herself as the clan head…later that night as I went to bed…I realized she's not the head yet! 'face palm's' sometimes I wonder about me Xd
Okay I think the only new term I used was this one:
Mina – everyone
Let me know If you have any questions as I'm more then happy to help! (I have dial up at my house now so I can work on stuff even when school is out XD) And please leave me a review (even if it's one of those lame 'It was good, more please' short ones those make me happy to XD (flames will be used by Sasuke to improve his jutsue)
My beta's:…Atara…well she's disappeared from fanfiction all together (not sure if or when she'll be back) and Blue (who changed her name to: Jan2.0 ) hasn't gotten to this story yet, she just finished up all of GL, and I still have to send her the new chps of S and KOV for her to catch up on…so it might take a while for her to get to this story…
