Naruto was sleeping in, after a long night up with his mate. He was having a good dream of the family he was going to have some day, when suddenly there was a pounding on the door Naruto jerked awake as memories of the past came forward, of angry villagers either drunk, sober and in groups coming after him. Naruto in his frightened state transformed and did what any young kitsune would do and started keening and only got louder when Sakura burst through the door at the sound. "What the hell where did this stupid fox come from." Sakura screamed completely confused when she saw the fox kit hunkered in the corner.
Suddenly she hit the ground, showing behind her with his arm stretched out and hand balled into a fist, he said. "Damn that felt good, come on kit breakfast is ready." And without changing back Naruto jumped into Kurama's awaiting arms. When Kurama entered the dinning room Tsunami had to fight with her desire to snatch the cuddly fox kit in his arms screaming so cute but held back seeing the looks of suspicion in Kakashi's eye and he was looking straight at Kurama and asked. "What was that thump and where are Naruto and Sakura?"
"Oh the thump was Sakura getting to know the floor better and Naruto is here." Kurama said and finished pointing to the kit he had placed on a seat Sasuke looked at the kit and took in the features of it.
Noticing the blonde, orange and red fur that even looked slightly metallic as it gleamed in the mid-morning sun and said. "But I thought the dobe was a dragon not a fox."
While he was talking Naruto transformed back and said. "Idiot I am both and who was the bigger idiot that sent the banshee to wake me up. Did she even know that pounding on someone's door will get one of two or three reactions, one the person on the other side will start screaming, two the person on the other side will attack through the door if they have a weapon sturdy enough to penetrate and three the mate of the room's occupant will flatten said person pounding on the door." Tazuna sweatdropped and hoped he didn't get one of his guards killed. He was really starting to worry when a few minutes passed and she didn't come down but was relived when she came into the dinning room with a very large lump on the back of her head.
After the awkward breakfast was over Kakashi had Sasuke and Sakura follow a kage bushin into the woods to start training when Sakura whined. "But sensei I can already get to the top. Why do I still have to do the training?"
Kakashi said. "Because out of all the teams that passed the jounin's test you have the least amount of chakra barley above the amount of a civilian and this exercise will help you get more."
"Not if she keeps up with the stupid dieting and only training an hour or two at the most." Naruto said and was attacked by Sakura which he simply grabbed the fist and bent her over his knee before spitting out. "You ever try hitting me again and I will kill you."
Later that day everyone was sitting at the dinner table eating and discussing various topics when Inari came into the room and asked. "Why do you even bother Gato will just kill you?"
Naruto said. "Gato has no real power that is why he has his army of mercenaries and they are nothing even compared to academy students Gato will pay for the injustice he has done to all of Wave."
He was going to say more but was interrupted by Inari shouting. "No your lying there is no such thing as heroes so why don't you leave and quite acting like you know the pain we feel. All of you with your happy lives could never understand."
After he finished his little rant the air seemed to leave the room as Naruto grew quite as he looked at the floor he said. "Have you ever been hated for something out of your control? No, then have you been denied service from nearly all the shops in your home village, no I didn't think so how about being hunted down like an animal by mobs of different sizes on your birthday, no I doubt that you have so before you even say what you lost think about this you still have a home, you still have your Kaa-san and your Jiji while I was alone only the leader of my village and two ramen shop owners a father and daughter duo who was the only kind faces in a sea of hateful faces."
Naruto stood up and left but they all saw his wings sprout from his back Sasuke thought "How the hell didn't he rip his shirt off or at least rip a large hole for each wing."
Tsunami was crying, Tazuna had his head down and Sakura said. "He is lying he has to be, Kakashi sensei please tell me it's not true."
Kakashi looked at her and said "Yes, he was lying. That was just a watered down and sugarcoated version. He didn't even mention the worst they did to him." Sasuke was about to ask but was cut off by Kakashi saying "I don't think you or anyone here wants to know."
"How does he smile after all that?" Asked Sakura
"He was saved by the very thing they damned him as." Answered Kurama.
"And how the hell do you know?" Yelled Sakura, Kakashi sweatdropped Sasuke gave her a look saying WTF are you that stupid and Kurama answered her question with another question asking. "Are you that stupid human do you not remember what I told the Uchiha after he attacked me?"
Sakura thought about it and then paled as she remembered what he had said.

Naruto was once again sleeping in but this time was beause he had a very intense training session that somewhere near the end turned into a game of tag which Naruto insisted was helping him with his dodging and stealth which it did but that lasted nearly all night as Naruto was just that good it was why he loved the game so much. He was once again woken up suddenly when a cry of "Inari no run away." Came from downstairs in the living room jumping up Naruto sent a kage bushin to see what is happening as he got dressed for the day he was going to show off one of his homemade suits, armored by seals and crafted from his own fur to ensure that it kept all damages to a minimum at best only bone jarring and only bone fracturing at worst. He had been working on this one for years, he thought it was great.
They were old school style shinobi suits in several different colors the one he was going to use though took the longest time as his fur wouldn't absorb the dyes and he had to channel chakra into the clothes as he dyed each piece of the suit. For the first he used no dyes leaving it his fur's natural colors, the second he made he basically dyed it red for so long it was almost black with how dark it was and the one he was putting on was deep blue from the cuffs of the pant legs to his knees where it started to lighten until it was almost white at the waist with a large and dark green sash and the top was old school black but with many white dots of various sizes and stylized on the back was a dragon and fox curled up with each other the, with the dragon being smaller than the fox.
(with the clone)
As Naruto had ordered, the clone had crept down the stairs and to where there were two voices coming from he couldn't make out what they were saying but as he got closer the bushin Naruto caught the end as he heard Tsunami saying. "If you kill him I will bite off my own tongue." And the bushin speed up thinking. "I can't let this happen not to Inari or Tsunami."
He then changed his nails into inch long claws and ran pass the samurai wannabes extending his hands just far enough to nick them on the neck four slashes each and before they knew it they were dead. The clone nodded to Tsunami and Inari as the two hugged each other happy their family didn't get any smaller and disappeared in a puff of smoke. Naruto got the memories of his bushin and smiled knowing that he saved them from more pain and headed down stairs nodded to them once more and left through the door heading for the bridge.
(at the bridge)
When Naruto arrived there was a very thick mist, Kurama and Sakura was protecting Tazuna well Kurama was protecting him, Naruto then went through some handsigns and said "Wind style: great breakthrough." Then channeling the wind chakra to his wings, giving them a strong flapping motion for a stronger burst of wind and blowing away all the mist revealing several different things that were happening, one Sasuke was trapped inside a dome made of many slabs of ice and he was looking like a porcupine with all the senbon sticking out of him. Two, was Kakashi was preparing to summon his hounds and three Gato was walking towards them. Both him and Zabuza were quite stunned, Zabuza was stunned because he was still supplying chakra to the technique but cut the flow when it was blown away. Gato was surprised that the cover Zabuza had unknowingly provided for him and his men was gone. Naruto gave the biggest shit eating grin to Gato and his men put his hands in the familiar cross shaped hand-sign and with a shout of "Kage bushin" and a large puff of smoke the bridge was crowded with hundreds of Narutos and with a battle cry and another puff of smoke Naruto and his army charged forward and tore apart Gato's army leaving the fat little pig of a man for the people of Wave. As Naruto drug Gato toward the end of the bridge where the people of Wave were gathering. Gato kept pleading for Naruto to let him go but when he offered women as a payment Naruto crushed the bone in the leg he was using to drag Gato across the blood soaked and body covered bridge getting a pained scream from the midget business tycoon and said to the people of Wave. "I give to you all the true Gato that has been bleeding you and your town dry.
Hope you like what I got so far
