Las time

Shinichi steered them to the sign in point as a man looked over the papers shinichi handed him he smiled leaf head band catching the light. When they were finished they stepped to the gate.

The gates opened a sun blinded naruto but reveded as he looked upon...

The present

Naruto blinked to adjust his eyes after being blinded by the light for a second. He looked around at the familiar buildings. He guessed they would never change from here he could still see the hokage tower. He moved forward with shinichi in a clumsy sort of walk glancing occassionaly at shinichi's feet to make it look as if he were trying to mimici him and failing.

He looked around at the shops and people all smiling and laughing he knew it was because they thought they were ride of the demon fox. He laughed to himself at the picture of them if they knew that he was in truth now a demon fox.

He snapped out of his little daydream as shinichi brought him to a large building not to far away from the hokage's tower but closer to the hokage mounment where they had the faces of all the hokages who had ruled over and protected them. He looked up at the head of the fourth and felt respect for the man and anger that he had used him like that without fully thinking of the consequences.

Shinichi led naruto to the desk and grabbed a key from the woman there she was wearing standard ANBU gear minus the mask. She had a small face with a red triangle on each cheek that was covered by brown hair that fell to her shoulders. She looked at naruto and smiled showing that she had fangs like mina and kenshin had in human form.

He was led past her and into a hallway that opened up to a huge room almost as big as his cavern home except it had a flat square ceiling instead of a natural dome. The room was like a common room with plants televisions couches and games off to the side. It looked as if there were 12 people currently in the room. He glanced over noting the flash of purple hair in a crowd of ANBU shouting at the tv.

Shinichi led him past what looked like a bath house and up three flights of steps until they were in a corridor of rooms. Shinichi stopped in front of a room that had a name plate that said kitsune on it. He looked on as shinichi opened the door and led him into a room as big as his kitchen which was about the size of ta three room apartment. It had a door off to the side for the bathroom if he didn't like to bathe with others, a room on the other side that was a bed room. He walked around noting as he did that the furniture was almost non exsistant he had a bed and a desk with a cover and thats it.

He laughed in his head as he took the key shinichi offered him. He waited as shinichi explained his room was down the corridor and to the right with the fish tag on it. Naruto nodded and followed shinichi back otu of the door. "Naruto we have to go report in to hokage-san and get your mask."

"Hai shi-san."

They left as soon as naruto locked the door, they made it to the hokage tower in twenty minutes. They bipassed the secretary and knocked on the hokage's door they herd a mufffled "come in". Shinichi opened the door to the office. Naruto laughed out loud seeing the old man balancing a bunch of papers in both hands and some pens in his mouth.

Shinichi immediately moved to help the hokage Sarutobi. He grabbrd the papers off the hokages left arm and set them on the table then did the same to the others till the hokage only had pens in his mouth which he removed himself.

"Sigh those damn papers are always piling up and i never can finish them all before more comes." He looked up to see who had helped him and noticed that it was one of the ANBU with a young blond haired girl...no not a girl a boy. His eyes widened as he took a good look at the child he had let live in the forest those 3 years ago. It seemed that forest life agreed with naruto though with the hair and mask you couldn't tell he was a boy at first glance.

Naruto looked at the old man he called oyajiji and saw that he was even older and had a tired look like he didn't get enough sleep. He looked around and concentrated on the stacks of papers all around the hokage's office. Most looked like they were days old. He turned to the hokage again "hey jiji why do you have to do all this paper work aint that the council's job?"

Saurtobi shook his head" No Naruto it's the hokage's job to see to the welfare of his people not the council's"

Naruto nodded then got straight to the point" Why did you recall me hokage sama" he let a thread of anger leak out into his voice.

The hokage nodded understanding that naruto would not have wanted to come back until he absolutely had to. "The council has been using the fact that no one knows were you as a way to declare you a threat to the village so by getting you back here we can say you were under our watch at all times."

Naruto nodded and waited for the hokage to continue." While at the ANBU head quarters you will be trained to defend yourself and whatever the others would like to teach you as well as acess to the jutsu library so you can study a bit."

Naruto held up his hand" Hokage-jiji is this because my dad was the fourth hokage?"

After naruto's question only a stunned silence was left the hokage in consternation and shinichi in surprise "how did you find out naruto if i may ask there were not many who know of your parentage."

Naruto shrugged his shoulder'sa little lift of his shoulders and said" no one but if you look at his picture you can see we have the same blue eyes and blond hair although mine changes colors and if you saw a picture of me as a kid i was a dead ringer for him."

Sarutobi nodded and said" yes thats the reason you get to join ANBU like this but it's not the only reason we need to keep you safe from the villagers till your ready."

Naruto smiled behind his mask making his crystal blue eyes sparkle with mischeif and laughter. It caught Sarutobi and shinichi off gaurd and they stared at naruto till his smile wilted and he asked "what's the matter"

The two older men both shook their heads not wanting to admit they found him cute. Sarutobi gave naruto a ANBU vest and a mask of a fox's face, when finished he sat back and said "Okay naruto starting tommorrow your training begins."

Neither new that it would be the begining of the tragedy to come.

Shinichi escorted naruto back to ANBU headquarters. He showed him where everything was from the kitchen to the laundry rooms then equipment rooms and the masonry.

Naruto was having a blast getting to run around the training feilds and common rooms. Most people didn't know about him so assumed depending on how good a look they got at him a new female ANBU trainnee because of his long golden hair and the outfit he wore tended to let a bit of flesh show before it dissapeared.

Naruto laughed silently as he thought of a new game to play while here it would help once he had to go to the academy if no one could identify him as the new trainee later on. Hey got a smirk from his two companions and a suggestion from both Kyuubi said to only talk when necessary and even then keep his voice bland and unsexed, Ryu said to wear clothes that were always a bit loose so they couldn't see his body shape.

Naruto though these were great ideas and decided that tomorrow would begin his training in the art of secrecy. He fell asleep as soon as he locked the door saying good night to Itachi who lived next door, dreaming of new pranks he would invent and his victims.

Later that night

"Wake up Naruto there is someone in the room with you"Ryu silently told him. Naruto bolted up in bed pulling flame out of his hair and changing it into a dagger before the intruder could see it. Naruto looked to see a man with red eyes and three spinning tomoes in each one. Naruto knew instantly this was no friend as the intruder lunged at him.

Naruto ducked and dogged the mans swings, his shirt was sliced by the kunai in the uchiha's hands. Naruto growled and picked up speed running circles around the man and then he dived stabbing the man in the leg before his door burst open to reveal itachi with a katana.

Itachi took in the situation in a glance and advanced on the other uchiha. The intruder backed away from itachi hiding his face. Itachi lunged and killed the man with one swift thrust of his blade. The mans blood hit naruto splashing him as he hid near the side of the bed making his form as small as possible with the dagger in his hand ready for combat.

Itachi looked at the blood soaked naruto and called out "Naruto you can come out now your safe." He waited for naruto's response.

Naruto smiled to himself sure Itachi didn't suspect that he had any skills and had gotten a lucky shot at the skilled ninja. " I-Itac-chi -s-san i-is that y-you" Naruto infused his voice with fear.

Itachi took a step closer and stopped as he realised that naruto wouldn't be able to see in the dark ad he could " Hai naruto it's me"

Naruto already knew it was him but it was better to pretend to be weak until he was sure he could trust them after all they had brought him back. " P-Prove it tell me something only tachi-san would know about me."

Itachi let a small smirk grace his face" Fine you like playing tricks on people using hair wires to put them in akward postions."

Naruto stood up and walked forward. "Yeah you're itachi-san nobody but you could figure that one out, can i turn on the light now."

Itachi sighed he didn't want to be able to identify the uchiha that did this to his young friend." Sure but close your eyes first so you have a moment to adjust to the light."

Naruto turned on the light and stared the man looked a lot like itachi from the hair to the skin and outfit it was obvious that he had been trying to frame itachi.The alarm sounded Itachi took one look at the man and ran back the way he came pulling a random mask down from the wall.

Naruto watched as itachi left feeling as if he would not see him in a long time

That night the uchiha masacare occured leaving only two uchihas alive,so far as anyone knew, the appaernt culprit Itachi and his younger brother tramatized by the apparent betrayal of his big brother. In truth Itachi was framed and the hokage sent him away on another mission to infiltrate the Akatsuki as a future advantage against them.
