Kyuubi

GraityTheWizard: You mean if he has a doujutsu? No, the transformation just added silver color to his eyes.

Nayeli: Their ok if done right, like in 'Cry of the Youko' but to me it's more fun to have him get irate.

Wolf In Fox's Clothing

Chapter 5: School Days Part 2

Sarutobi was borderline livid. Had he known that the 'possession' the Raikage was sending was a 9yr-old girl, he would've had half a mind to take out the men who brought her solely on the way she was chained and shackled and think of ways to tear the Raikage a new one. Unfortunately, they left her at the city gates and made themselves scarce. It took an ANBU a good half hour to pick all the locks on her.

"What's your name?" He asked, looking at her now sitting across from his desk.

"Yugito Nii.." Came the reply. It didn't take a kage to tell she was thinking he was going to treated in a similar manner there as she was in Kumo.

"It's ok, Yugito. I find the current Raikage to be a bit of greasy punk myself." He grinned when she bit back a giggle at the insult, "See? Konoha isn't like Kumo So, tell me; why did they send you?"

Yugito shrugged, "I don't know..the Raikage usually wouldn't let me outside the kage tower. He'd always say I belonged to him when I was old enough.." Sarutobi bristled at that, "Me and Nibi hate him.." She clamped a hand over her mouth at the slip, her eyes wide in fear.

The Hokage stared, "You and Nibi? As in Nibi no Nekomata?" Seeing her tense up at the question confirmed it, "I see. You're the cat's container aren't you? Think I know now why he chose to send you. The baka assumed we'd be appalled and demand you be sent back. Or do something else so he could try and demand something in compensation"

Yugito was still tensed up, "Wh-what are you going to do.?"

"Oh, I'm thinking a nice 'thank you' letter is order." He replied, "It's time one of his plans came back to bite him."

"You..you aren't sending me back?"

"Not unless you want to go back." The vigorous shaking of her head was his answer.

Meanwhile, in her own seal, Nibi was sensing something that made her quiver.

"Nibi? Are you ok?" Yugito asked, picking up on her tenants reaction.

"I ..I just sensed his presence."Nibi purred, "Kyuubi..he's near.."

Yugito blushed a tad at how the cat was acting, and the old man noticed.

"Yugito? Is something wrong?'

"Um..uh..Nibi's picking up her old crush..."

"Say what?"

"Well..Nibi has a crush on the Kyuubi no Kitsune and she's detecting him."

It took a few minutes for Sarutobi to let this sink in, "N..Nibi has a..thing for Kyuubi..?

She nodded, making the Hokage slump back into his chair.

"Hoo-boy.."

"H-Hokage-Sama? She's getting kind of antsy..she hasn't seen him in 6 years."

Sarutobi rubbed the bridge of his nose, knowing it would be either tell her or have the Nibi go nuts, "Well, that's because he's been contained as well."

"No fair!" Nibi whined.

"You mean there's someone..like me here?"

He nodded, "I'm afraid you'll have to find him. Law prevents me from telling you his name."

"'He'? It's a guy? Kami, please let kyuu-kun's container be cute!"

"Nibi! Quit it!"

"Ok, everyone gather around for taijutsu practice." Iruka called out, motioning everyone towards the training ring.

Naruto sighed when he spotted Sasuke glaring at him from the other side of the ring...again. He looked over at Kiba, "You know, this really getting tiresome."

"Ah, he just can't stand competition." The Inuzuka scoffed.

"All right you two, pipe down." Iruka said, "Ok, these'll just be basic sparring matches. Taijutsu ONLY. No weapons, nin- or genjutsu, got it?" He checked a clipboard, "First up: Chouji Akimichi and Kiba Inuzuka."

As the two got up to face each other, Hinata came up to Naruto, "Um..Naruto-kun?"

"What's up Hinata?"

"Well, Father would like you to come over after class. Mother's been wanting to meet you for a while."

Naruto felt uneasy about that. He had no idea how the Hyuugas felt about him. But the hopeful look on the girls face didn't leave him with much choice, "Ok. I'll go." He nodded before turning back to the match

The match was rather straightforward until Kiba poked fun of Chouji's size and ended up getting sat on until he gave up. Hinata went against Sakura and quickly ended it with her family's fighting style. Naruto didn't know the name of Ino's opponent, but she fared better than her friend/rival. The next two were supposed to be Shino and Shikimaru, but the Nara forfeited and sat down. A few other matches went by until..

"Next: Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki."

the fangirls immediately began yelling for Sasuke and claiming that he'd wipe the floor with Uzumaki. Sasuke gave a scowl as Naruto slid into the Strong Fist stance.

"What's your problem, Sasuke? You've been giving me the evil eye ever since I got here."

"You." He muttered before charging him.

Naruto quickly jumped out of the way, "Me? What'd I do?" He blocked a kick and shoved him away.

"How do you manage to push yourself like you do? What is your secret?" He yelled, throwing a punch at Naruto's face as hard as he can, only to have it blocked.

"It's just something I have. I can last a while so I just keep going 'till I get tired."

"Tell me! How can a parentless freak like you do something I can't?"

Naruto's eyes narrowed, "What did you call me?" He snarled.

"Real smart move, brat.." Kyuubi muttered,

"Uchiha!" Iruka snapped, "That was uncalled for!"

"This is gonna get ugly.." Kiba whispered to Shikamaru.

"You heard.." He was cut off when the blonde werewolf dashed forward and brought his foot up with surprisingly vicious force...right between Sasuke's legs..

The fangirls screamed and every guy around cringed. Sasuke let out a gurgle as he slowly went cross-eyed and sank to the ground in a heap.

"Ouch!"

"Naruto..was that really necessary?" Shino asked. Even he was wincing a bit, "I doubt even he deserved that."

Iruka sighed, "I'll take him to the nurse's office. Everyone just sit tight until I get back." He dragged the still curled up Uchiha off. After a few moments, the fangirls shock faded and they immediately gave dark looks towards Naruto.

"You BAKA! How dare you hit Sasuke-kun!" One of them screeched at him, "You should've forfeited if you knew what was good for you!"

"SHUT IT!" He roared at her, making her jump back, "The teme crossed the line, and you do NOT cross the line with Naruto Uzumaki! Got it!"

Students quickly moved aside as he walked over to a bench.

Later that day after school, Naruto was heading to Ichiraku Ramen for lunch. He had manged to settle down a bit from the match, but he was still ticked that Sasuke would go that low.

"Calm down, Kit. It's in the past now. Although I will admit, the Uchiha's expression was kind of funny."

"Yeah, but still.."

As the two talked, Yugito was racing in his direction.

"Are you sure their this way, Nibi?" She asked

"Defiantly, Kitten. I'd bet both tails on it!" By now, Nibi was hopping around like kid the night before Christmas. She could barely wait to see Kyuubi again.

Unfortunately, all 4 were too busy talking to watch where they were going..

WHAM!"

"Itai!" both yelled as they were sent sprawling to the ground, "Hey, why don't you want where you're going?"

In the seals, a different reaction was had.

"Kyuu-kun!"

"N-Nibi-Chan?

A chapter in one day, not too bad.

next time: meeting Yugito and the Hyuugas.
