When Sakura came home once more after another boring day in school, where nothing really happened other than that blond kid Naruto once tried to talk to her. This time, she had let him talk all he wanted hoping that he would run out of things to talk about, but, no he kept talking and talking and talking.

She closed the door behind her, not really caring to lock it, no one would be stupid enough to try and steal from her. As she looked around her place it wasn't really anything amazing about it, there were only the necessary things, like a table and a chair.

Sakura walked straight into the kitchen where she began to make ramen for Kyuubi. For the last two or so years had she been able to summon Kyuubi in mini vision, and at least once a week did she make him ramen in return for some knowledge. This would be the first time doing it while in Konoha and Sakura was really hoping that no one would come by.

While she waited for the ramen to finish Sakura thought back on something her mother once told her. While her father's whole family was civilian though and though, her mother's was not. Sakura's great grandmother was a ninja from the Redfox-family/Clan who all was bound to a fox from birth, kind of the same way the Inuzuka was with their ninken.

"Remember Sakura-Chan, Kyuubi is your friend," her mother's sweet voice said. It was one of those times where her mother would tell her about Sakura's great grandmother.

"You can't trust anyone, definitely not strangers none of them want you any good… The only one you can trust is foxes, well and the Hokage I suppose, anyway, no matter which fox they only want the best for you" She had said calmly hoping Sakura would understand how important it was, even though she was only 4 years old.

The Redfox clan hadn't known about Sakura, but they knew about her mother Mebuki and while they were exiled for 5 years, did the Redfox made their move. It happened while Sakura was far away from their house and wrote her name in the fox contract, even though her mother told her not to. She found it a bit odd that no one had written their name on it before but didn't linger on it for long.

So when Sakura finally made her way home to ask her mother why. When she finally made it home, was she met by her parents' dead bodies and two strangers. When they turned around and saw her they instantly went for her. Just as they were about to touch her did their very own foxes that had been there all their life attract them. Sakura understood that by having her name in the scroll would all foxes' turn on their own owner and give their loyalty to her, give their life to her. She watched as the foxes ripped their owners apart.

Shaking her head Sakura went over to the ramen and took the pot off the stove and began to fill three bowls to him, for some reason Kyuubi had a very unhealthy love for ramen. Sakura placed them on the table before beginning to make the signs for the summoning and only a couple of seconds later did the smoke come that soon disappeared and out stood Kyuubi who was only about a meter in height. She blinks at the fox he was taller than the last time, before remembering what Kyuubi said about him growing in both height and power with how powerful she was.

Minato was visiting the third Hokage when he felt the Kyuubi's Chakra, sure it was far less than for 8 years ago and someone who didn't know or wasn't on the lookout for his Chakra wouldn't know but he would never forget it. Hiruzen didn't seem to have forgotten it either from the look on his face nodding to one another they both left immediately.

Now Minato was the first to make it there and stood for a second outside Sakura's door with Kakashi and Obito right beside him, before opening the door. The first thing he saw was Sakura sitting at the table with looking assumed by something. First, he was confused before he followed her eyes and saw a fox on the floor busy eating whatever was inside the bowels. He sniffed the air while making his way over to Sakura and the smell of ramen hit him.

"Don't worry he is harmless… more or less" The young girl said softly trying not to disturb the fox and Minato saw its nine tails and knew that Sakura was talking about Kyuubi like they were old friends and maybe they were.

"I… see" He found himself saying before looking over at the third not really knowing how to deal with this. Until a thought hit him like lightning, if Sakura could befriend the Kyuubi like Killer Bi had befriended the eight-tailed.

"I make him ramen once a week and return he either tell me of his other hosts' life or teach me something new and useful" Sakura replied once more and Minato understood perfectly well that this was his time to get something out of the young girl.

"So how long has the two of you been friends?" Minato asked for nodding to the others that it was okay to leave them. He took a chair and sat down beside her just as Kyuubi jumped up on the table looking at him with anger.

"Kyuubi has always been able to talk to me all my life… It was two years ago that I began to be able to summon him" Sakura said her mother's words echoed in her head, it was the only reason she told him.

"Uzushiogakure was a powerful village, it was where the Uzumaki-clan came from, this is where both of my hosts was born," The fox said and Minto was not sure what to feel about this, about Kyuubi telling her of the dark secrets of the past.

"The Uzumaki-Clan was powerful they were known for their Fūinjutsu, even Kushina knew how and was the one to teach you forth Hokage in it" Minato was no fool and could hear the anger that came with the word Fūinjutsu since he had all but hissed it out. It was then that Minato understood that everything both Mito and Kushina lived though was known to the fox and now also Sakura.

Kyuubi left them shortly after having sent threating glances his way and was now lying on her bed. Minato kept an eye on the fox while still looking at Sakura too.

"well, I guess no harm is done by this" Minato finally said not sure if he was happy to know that she could call upon Kyuubi when she felt like it. It bugged him but he also felt like he owed the girl before him more than he will ever be able to pay for.

Sakura watched as Minato slowly stood up and got ready to leave as she saw him out, he looked at her once more before ruffling her hair and saying his goodbye. She turned around and walked straight for Kyuubi laying down and hugging him to her in a hope of sharing his heat. She fell asleep to his soft purring.
