I hope y'all like this chapter
Last Time
Naruto and company walked into the room to find that it hadn't changed one bit accept that there was a woman with long blond hair.
That hung in two pig tails behind her back wearing a green robe with the kajit for sucker on the back she had a grey shirt that seamed to be tight particularly in the chest area.
She wore blue shin length pants with sandal style high heals she looked like a woman that wasn't much older than twenty-five or twenty-eight.
"So how did it go?" asked Tsunade
Kakashi stepped forwards with a young man as tall as he was he was wearing a red and black long sleeve shirt with black pants that had a red stripe going down the sides.
His blond hair was spiked like it had never been combed his entire life he had three whisker marks on each cheek.
'He looks just like the fourth' thought Tsunade
***
"So you're the infamous Naruto Uzumaki" said Tsunade pulling out Naruto's papers
"Yes, ma'am" he said with a nod.
"It say's here that you've got a real nasty temper Mr. Uzumaki, is this true?" asked Tsunade glaring at his as if daring him to lie.
Naruto rubbed the back of his head as a huge cheshire grin appeared on his face
"Well, uh eh, I guess you could say I did" said Naruto.
"What do you mean, did?" asked Tsunade glaring at him darkly, Naruto suddenly had a backlash of long forgotten memories.
Of what the people of this village had done to him in the past, the more he looked at the older woman the more memories he retrieved.
His facial expression instantly changed, he now showed a mixture of hate and anger as he stared back into the dark brown eyes of the Hokage.
His own bright blue one's flashed another color for a brief moment then it wasn't seen again.
"Naruto is something wrong?" asked Tsunade with as much care as one might show a dog that had bitten them.
Naruto glared at the Hokage with malice this caused Kiba and Hinata to worry they'd seen that look many times before, each time the person ended up dead.
Naruto's glare suddenly fell as he blinked and looked around the room as if realizing where he was.
He then looked at Tsunade again she fell back into her chair her face was now chalk white as if she'd seen a ghost.
"That'll teach you to stay out of my head" said Naruto with a smirk; Kiba and Hinata both left out a low sigh threw their noses.
If Kakashi was surprised neither of them could tell as his only visible eye showed no sign of worry or anything that normally showed his emotion.
It was almost as if he had expected Naruto to do what ever it is he'd, done to the Hokage suddenly his mask seamed to curl into a slight smirk.
"What…the…hell…was…that?" panted Tsunade as sweat ran down her face
"That would be my tenant he doesn't like it very much when people try to get inside my head" said Naruto as a slight smirk appeared on his face.
Tsunade took a deep breath and composed herself
"Well Mr. Uzumaki I-"Please call me Naruto"
"Alright Naruto then, I'm going to have miss Hyuga here check your chakra network to see if you are fit enough to be a ninja" said Tsunade.
Hinata nodded and activated her Byakugan she looked Naruto over she could see that his chakra coils had become thicker then any humans she'd seen before.
Chakra raced through the coils like running water, and then she saw from the coils that were hidden behind his belly.
A red chakra slowly snake its way through his system causing his chakra paths to become wider, then Naruto fell to his knees.
He yelled in pain as he clutched his heart, this confused Hinata slightly before she realized he was having another attack.
Unsure of what to do she started to try and close his chakra points but it didn't seam to help him any only what appeared to be a temporary dulling of the pain.
Naruto's features started to change before their eyes as his whisker marks became more defined as real whiskers shot from them.
His tanned skin began to grow dark red fur, his blue eyes turned scarlet red with vertical slits for pupils, and his blonde hair was now thicker and also dark red.
His teeth had become razor sharp as his face became pointed to the point it looked like a snout, he was soon consumed by a red aura.
That had taken on the form of a fox with four tails then a fifth tail started to form until Naruto reached into his pocket and pulled out the.
Same paper seal that Jiriaya had used on him back at his cabin he placed it on his forehead the seal glowed red.
For as the chakra began to return to the seal on Naruto's belly, Naruto started to breath heavily as sweat poured off of him by the buckets.
"I'm…sorry…about…that" said Naruto now leaning against the wall, Tsunade walked over to him she took a flash light and shined it in his eyes.
She then started to grab his shoulders and placed her ear to his chest
"You seam to be just fine but what was that?" she asked after she'd finished examining him.
"That…was…my…tenant…he doesn't like to be disturbed" said Naruto breathing heavily.
As the seal finally stopped glowing he then replaced in within his pocket
"If this is all done I'd like my old headband please" said Naruto holding out his hand.
The Hokage nodded to Kakashi who pulled Naruto's headband from one of the many pockets on his vest.
He then handed it to Naruto who replaced it upon his forehead
"And one more thing" said Tsunade pulling out a camo-green vest and tossing it to Naruto.
Naruto looked at her confused as he caught the vest
"What's this for I was never made Chunin I was exiled after the Sound-Sand invasion" said Naruto.
"That was part of the agreement for if you decided to return" said Tsunade with a smirk; Naruto looked at the vest then to his teammates.
A frown appeared on his face then he threw the vest back to Tsunade, her smirk was replaced with a look of shock.
"What are you doing?" she asked
"If I'm going to be made Chunin I want to be made so the right way" said Naruto firmly.
"Alright kid, have it your way" said Tsunade making to replace the vest in her desk as if waiting for Naruto to say he changed his mind.
Much to her surprise how ever he didn't say another word and allowed her to replace the vest within her desk.
Tsunade then brought herself back to their attention
"Well now then where will you be staying?" asked Tsunade
"Well if it hasn't been torn down my old apartment will do fine but if it has then I'll just have to find anther place and get back to you" said Naruto.
"Alright Team 8 you'll have this week off to train and in your case Naruto to find a place to live" said Tsunade as all three of them nodded then walked out the door.
***
Naruto started down the street that lead to his old apartment alone, or so he thought because unbeknowneced to him a certain Hyuga heiress was hot on his heels.
A smile was on her face as she watched her long time crush make his way to his old apartment.
Naruto stood before a building that looked as if it had been through every natural disaster that has ever been known.
The paint was waterlogged and faded with age showing some of the mud brick that made up the building. The front door had a ribbon of yellow tape in front of it that read Condemned, he left out a sigh as he pushed on the rotten wood door that fell forwards showering him with a thick layer of white dust.
He walked inside to see that the place had been vandalized beyond livability; the ceiling had water stains on it along with rotten wood.
It looked also as if it had been though a fire recently as the smell of burnt wood filled his nostrils the thing that stuck out most of all was what some one had spray painted on the wall.
Behind where the entrance desk would've been
'BE GONE DEMON AND NEVER RETURN'.
He had seen these words so many times before that they had little meaning to him but this place was home.
He sighed as he made a crossed hand sign
"Shadow Clone Jutsu" he said as a single shadow clone appeared in a puff of smoke.
Naruto, then ordered the clone to walk up the now rotten stairs the clone took a single step onto the stairs before the whole thing collapsed.
"Well so much for living here" he thought as he walked out of the apartment complex he then turned to the building.
An orb of blue chakra glowed brightly in his right hand he then pressed it to the brick wall there was a loud explosion as the building was leveled in seconds.
Naruto turned to leave only to find himself surrounded by several Anbu ninja
"Hey guys don't worry the place was falling apart" said Naruto calmly.
The ninja's nodded then disappeared with out a trace, he sighed then he sat down onto the dry dirt road.
He closed his eyes, to the casual observer they would see a young man sitting in the dirt meditating, but to Naruto he was talking.
***
Naruto was sitting in a water soaked stone floor inside of a dimly lit circular room, a large cage with a ripped piece of paper that had the kajit for seal on it.
A pair of large glowing red eyes appeared from behind the bars then the head of a giant fox with bright orange fur appeared from behind the bars.
"Well, Naruto long time, no see" said Kyuubi
"Hello Kyuubi" said Naruto with a smirk
"To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?" asked Kyuubi.
"Kyuubi how fast is the seal deteriorating?" asked Naruto in a serious tone
Kyuubi sighed
"I thought that's why you came, well I'm not going to lie to you Naruto the seal is becoming weaker by the day" said Kyuubi.
"What'll happen if it finally breaks?" asked Naruto
"I'm going to give you two scenario's the one that should happen and the one that's more than likely going to happen. The one that should happen is my chakra melds with yours perfectly during which I will still exist and be able to help you at any time. The one that's more than likely going to happen with the seals rapid decay is, I will disappear from existence and you will probably become a mindless version of me" said Kyuubi.
"Isn't there anything we can do to repair the seal or to slow its decay?" asked Naruto
"Afraid not Kit, this is the way the seal was designed all we can do is sit back and hope for the best" said Kyuubi.
Naruto nodded
"Now then why don't you go and talk to that Hyuga girl who's been following you ever since you left the Hokage's office" said Kyuubi.
***
Hinata stared unsure as to what Naruto was doing, but she was sure that she shouldn't disturb him.
When suddenly his eyes popped open and he was staring right at her, she quickly hid behind a nearby telephone pole.
She chanced a glance to see that Naruto was gone; she got a confused look on her face as she wondered where he was.
"You know this by some people could be considered stocking" whispered a voice in her ear.
She jerked around so fast that she tripped herself, she braced for the fall that never came she opened her closed eyes to see Naruto had grabbed her coat.
In order to keep her from falling to the ground
"Sorry Hinata I didn't mean to startle you" said Naruto helping her to her feet.
Hinata's usually pale face was now a deep shade of red
"I-It's a-a-alright N-N-Naruto" she said in a whisper like tone.
Naruto sighed
"You know Hinata I think I told you this before, but just to remind you if you want something nobodies going to know what it is if you don't speak up" said Naruto as a small grin appeared on his face.
"S-Sorry N-Naruto" said Hinata hanging her head
Naruto stood there for a minute then an idea crossed his mind
"Hey Hinata you wanna join me for lunch?" he asked.
Hinata's heart left her body like a rocket as sparks erupted from her skin
'Naruto's asking me on a date, oh what should I do' she thought
"Uh Hinata" said Naruto waving his hand in front of the dazed Hyuga heiress.
This caused her to snap out of her thoughts
"I asked you if you wanted to join me for lunch" said Naruto again.
Hinata's unsure face actually curled into a smile
"Yes, Naruto I'd love to" she said.
"Well where too, I haven't been here for four years I can't seam to remember where any of the good eats are" said Naruto.
"Well um uh we c-c-could go t-t-to, Ichiraku Ramen" said Hinata
'Ramen, that's an odd thing to eat for a date isn't it?' thought Naruto.
"Alright then Ichiraku Ramen it is" he said cheerfully he then looked around with a confused look.
"Uh where is it?" he asked causing Hinata to giggle slightly
"I-I-Its t-this way" she said beckoning him to follow her.
Unbeknowneced to the couple they were being watched by a familiar face
'Well Naruto you sure have changed in the last four years' thought Kakashi watching the two leave for the Ramen stand.
***
Naruto and Hinata made their way to Ichiraku Ramen where they met a girl with long brown hair wearing a white hat over her hair.
Along with a white shirt and skirt topped with a full body apron
"Hinata who's your new friend?" asked the girl from behind the counter eyeing Naruto with a mischievous grin.
"H-H-He's…"
"I'm just a friend" said Naruto speaking up for Hinata
"I'll have the Missou Pork Ramen" said Naruto.
"I-I-I'll h-h-have s-s-s-s-some P-P-P-Pork R-R-R-R-Ramen" said Hinata pulling out a small wallet only to see Naruto put his hand over hers.
"I'll get this one" he said causing Hinata to blush furiously, as she put her wallet back into her jacket.
Naruto pulled out a frog wallet that seamed to be close to busting with cash, he pulled out enough to pay for the meal then they waited.
Soon the soft thud of their bowls being placed on the counter was heard then they each grabbed a set of chopsticks.
Then they began to eat, a loud slurping sound as Naruto downed his Ramen in record time.
This caught the woman's attention
"So sir what is your relationship with Hinata?" asked the woman eyeing him again.
"I told you I'm just a friend" said Naruto knowing what she was getting at
"It seems like you're more than a friend to me" said the girl again.
"Ayome!" said Hinata blushing furiously
"What's the matter Hinata got, yourself a guy at long last?" asked Ayome.
"Oh come now miss leave her alone" said Naruto in a joking voice
"What's the matter Naruto don't want anyone to know you actually like someone?" asked Ayome.
Naruto's face curled into a smile
"How did you know it was me?" he asked
"Naruto you're the only customer we've ever had other than Choji that can down an entire bowl of ramen in a few seconds" said Ayome.
Naruto laughed
"You're right I guess" said Naruto
"So is it true are you and Hinata going out?" asked Ayome.
Hinata's face turned the deepest red possible while Naruto laughed
"Well I'd like to hope we could sort of pick up where we left off" he said joyfully.
These words caused Hinata to go straight to cloud-nine as her heart exploded with shear joy
'Naruto still loves me' she thought.
***
Naruto was standing in front of the gate to Hyuga compound
"T-T-Thank y-y-y-you f-f-f-for s-s-such a-a-a g-g-g-great t-t-t-time" said Hinata her face was as red as the setting sun.
"Any time Hinata" said Naruto
He then leaned in and gave her a quick goodnight kiss, this caused her face to turn as red as it would go.
"Well goodnight Hinata" said Naruto walking away leaving Hinata with a dreamy look on her face.
***
Naruto was soon out beyond the gates of Konoha; once he was sure no one was fallowing him he fell to his knees.
Clutching his stomach and chest in pain as a red chakra started to cover his body his eyes were blood red and pupiless.
His skin was covered in black fur as five tails appeared behind him then another tail made of chakra started to form.
It soon became solid and was covered in the same black fur as his body, his blond hair had turned black his teeth had become razor sharp.
His face had elongated into a snout his ears were now pointed like that of a fox's he left out a howl that caused every tree within the area to fall to the ground and shatter into splinters.
Kakashi who'd been following Naruto since his date started watched in horror as Naruto transformed into a best the likes of which he'd never seen.
He could do nothing accept hope that Naruto was gaining control over the new form that he'd gained from the Kyuubi.
Will this new form be the form that Naruto loses himself and the Kyuubi becomes no more find out in the next exciting chapter of Heart of the Beast Z.
Sorry I couldn't resist
