A/N:
Fox-with the mask on
Naruto-with the mask off
Chicken-with the mask on
Sasuke-with the mask off
Fox groaned.
"Naruto." Kurama says.
"Hmm?" Fox mutters.
"Happy 18th birthday." Kurama says smiling.
Fox sits up. His mask sliding off his face, revealing who was under the mask. The Hero of Konoha, Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto. He sighs. "Yeah. It is. Sadly, I can't hang out with my friends...or Hinata."
Kurama sighs. "I know it's hard. Tsunade gave you a choice to tell one person. And neither you or Sasuke haven't."
"Yeah. But if I tell someone, everyone will hate that person because that person didn't tell them." Naruto plops back into the bed. "Ugh."
"Well. I'm going back to sleep. Later." Kurama says.
Naruto gets up, and notices it's the afternoon...THE AFTERNOON? He was supposed to report to Baa-chan in the morning. He quickly changes into his armor, grabs his mask, and uses Hiraishin no Jutsu.
"Dismissed." Tsunade says to Tenten. Kurenai bows and turns around when Naruto flashes into the room. Luckily he fell on his face, so Kurenai didn't get to see who fell.
A vein popped out of Tsunade's head, while Shizune smiled sheepishly. Naruto quickly put the mask on, and stood up. "You're late."
"G-Gomen, T-Tsunade-b-s-sama." Fox stutters, knowing as soon as Kurenai leaves, he's going to be pulverized.
Kurenai stared at the ANBU in the room, still trying to comprehend what the hell just happened. She sighed, shook her head, and exited out the door.
Tsunade sat up, eye twitching. "BAKA!" Tsunade grabbed, Naruto by his hair and punched him in the face. "Do you not know how close Kurenai was in finding out."
Fox backed up into the wall. He looked at Shizune for help, but she smiled sheepishly. "Gomen! I did not realize that Kurenai-sensei was in the room. Please don't kill me, dattebayo!"
An hour later, Sakura entered the room. "Shishou. The hospital ne-uh...?"
The scene in front of her was unusual. Fox was dying in the hands of her shishou and Shizune trying to stop Tsunade. The three noticed Sakura. Tsunade lets go of Fox making him fall onto the ground, and sits up straight, not even attempting to help Fox. Shizune quickly went to Fox and helped him sit up.
"Uh. Do I even want to know?" Sakura asks.
"No. What's wrong?" Tsunade asks.
"Well Chicken-san finished our training." Sakura says.
"Ok. The results?" Tsunade asked.
"Well Kiba is in the hospital..." Sakura starts.
"Why?" Tsunade demands. Please not something stupid.
"Well. Kiba made fun of Chicken-san's hair..." Sakura sighs.
"What the hell did he do that." Tsunade demands.
"Well..." Sakura starts.
"I got all day." Tsunade says. "Shizune. Heal Fox, while Sakura tells her story."
"10 minutes after Dog-san introduced us to Chicken-san..." Sakura starts.
"You 11 will be dealing with something huge. In a few days. That I can't be that specific of." Chicken says.
"Then how do we defend Konoha if we don't know what the hell we're going to fight." Tenten says.
Chicken sighs. "Let me finish explaining."
"Keep this information to yourselves and your senseis. We're dealing with something from the 4th Shinobi War. But we don't want to alarm the people of Konoha. So you 11, your senseis, few ANBU, and Tsunade-sama will defend Konoha." Chicken finishes.
"Why only a few? It took all 5 great nations to fight the 4th shinobi war. And we lost 2 of the best fighters, we had in the 4th shinobi war." Ino says.
Before Chicken could reply. "It's because we have to protect the King." Shikamaru says.
Konaha 11 look at each other and nod.
Chicken helped each ninja in their weakest points.
Kiba was his hardest, because he was stubborn.
"Just keep repeating what I taught you." Chicken says.
"I've been for the past 2 hours. This isn't helping." Kiba growls.
"Well keep doing it. It's going to help you. Stop being a stubborn dog." Chicken says.
Kiba glares. "Maybe thats why you were given the name chicken."
Chicken raises an eyebrow. "And why would that be?"
"Because your hair looks like a chicken." Kiba smirks.
Chicken's eye twitches. "Take that back. Dog breath."
Kiba glares. "No. Chicken head."
"And then they got into a very heated fist fight." Sakura says.
Tsunade's eye twitched. I have to deal with three idiots today.
"Alright. I'll check on him. Then yell at the two. Dismissed Sakura." Tsunade says rubbing her temples.
"Tsunade-sama..." Shizune starts.
"Once Fox awakens. Both of you arrive to the training grounds. I need to beat some shit out of two idiots." Tsunade growls as she leaves.
Poor Sasuke and Kiba. Shizune thinks as she heals Fox.
"YOU DO NOT MAKE FUN OF AN ANBU!" Tsunade yells at Kiba.
Kiba is baking up to the wall. "G-Gomen. H-Hokage-sama."
Chicken smirks. Serves him right.
Tsunade turns around and glares at Chicken. "WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU MAKE FUN OF HIM?!"
Chicken wipes the smirk off of his face. Maybe this is why, Naruto is scared of her sometimes. "He said my teaching wasn't helping him at all."
"It wasn't!" Kiba yells. Tsunade death-glares at him, making him whimper in fear.
"You should have taught him another way instead of calling him stubborn dog." Tsunade yells. She grabs both of their ears and pulls them to the training grounds.
"How long do we have to wait here Shizune-ne-sama?" Fox says. Shizune smiles.
"Well. Maybe not too long." Shizune answers then notices Hinata across the field. "Hinata's over there."
Fox's heart beat faster. H-Hina-Hinata-chan? "W-what?"
Shizune smiles. "I'm going to get extra medical supplies. Bye." Shizune runs away before Fox can stop her.
Damn it nee-chan. Fox looks at his girlfriend...was she crying? SHE WAS CRYING! On instinct he ran to her and almost hugged her, but he trip and fell.
Hinata yelped, and then noticed it was an ANBU. "A-ANBU-san."
Fox sat up. "Hello. I couldn't help but notice you were crying." Hinata stared at Fox. "Oh. Call me Fox."
Why does he seem so familiar? Hinata wonders. "H-Hello Fox-san."
"You wouldn't mind me asking why you were crying?" Fox asked. I bet it's because it's my birthday.
Hinata stays quiet for a while, but then finally decides to answer. "Today's my deceased boyfriend's birthday. And I miss him dearly." A tear runs down Hinata's face.
That broke his heart. "H-Hinata. Promise me you won't tell anyone."
Hinata looked up, confused. "I promise?"
"Naruto-san chose to do something during the war. But couldn't tell anyone, in result he died. But his impact in the world didn't. Hinata-sama, even though Naruto-san isn't there with you physically. He's mentally with you, in your heart, and will forever love you. So don't be sad." Fox say.
Hinata looked surprised, but smiled. "Arigatou, Fox-san. You're right. I'm going to visit his grave, then head to the academy. Arigatou again!"
Fox smiled, happily.
"That was a good speech, Naruto." Kurama says.
Fox smiles. "Arigatou, Kurama. It was from the heart."
Kurama smiles. "I can tell. Oh and Naruto."
Fox looks at Kurama, confused. "What?"
"Duck."
Fox quickly, ducks just in time. Tsunade throws Kiba to a tree. Then Tsunade throw Chicken into another tree. Fox stands up. "What the hell?"
Tsunade turns to Fox. "If you don't want to get hurt. Stay out of my way."
Fox backs away. "Hai. Hokage-sama."
Fox still sitting there, still doing the occasional laugh. While Shizune is sitting there trying to stop Tsunade.
"You won't mind me sitting here?" A voice says, making Fox jump.
Fox turns around. Kakashi-sensei? Standing there was Kakashi Hatake.
"Hai. Kakashi-sempai." Fox says sitting back down, the same time as Kakashi.
"So, why is our Hokage beating the shit out of those two?" Kakashi asks.
Fox sighs. "I actually have no clue."
Kakashi smiles. "You're not actually ANBU are you."
Fox froze. He knows. "What. I am ANBU."
"I'm hoping that Tsunade-sama wasn't the one to choose your name. Because it's stating the obvious." Kakashi states.
Fox froze, some more. "She did. What's obvious."
Kurama laughs. "He so knows who you are."
Fox glares. "How did he find out?"
Kurama laughs harder. "I'm surprise. No one else figured it out. 1) How did no one connect Fox and the blonde hair. I'm surprised that Nara kid didn't figure it out. 2) Sasuke's hair does look like a chicken. 3) Your chakara signature. I know your trying your best to hide it, but Kakashi has the sharigan. So i'm not surprised he found you out"
Fox slumps in defeat, "I guess he's the person, who i get to tell."
"You didn't even have to tell him." Kurama smiles.
"Why aren't you reading your porn?" Fox asks, leaning back.
"Do I always have to read it?" Kakashi asks.
"Don't you like praise those books?" Fox smiles.
Kakashi raises an eyebrow. "No."
Fox lies. "Don't lie to an ANBU."
Kakashi smirks. "A fake ANBU?"
Before Fox could reply, Tsunade beat him.
"Kakashi?" Tsunade asks, finally cooled off. Kakashi smiles, but doesn't answer. Tsunade looks at Fox. "Fox?"
Fox sighs. "He knows."
Tsunade lifts an eyebrow.
"How'd you find out?" Tsunade asks, while she heals Chicken and Kiba.
"Well, when they first arrived. They felt familiar. But I totally pushed it aside. When I saw them fighting in the street. I decided to investigate. I connected the Fox and blonde hair to him." Kakashi says pointing to Fox. "Then connected the chicken hair to him." Pointing to Chicken
"Quit hating on the hair." Chicken mutters.
"Shizune. Take Kiba to 5 rooms away." Tsunade orders. Shizune obidiently does it.
Kakashi walks to the door and locks it. "So what the hell is happening that you had to fake the death of 2 ninjas?"
Fox removes his mask. Kakashi studies his face. His face has more features, but the same whisker marks and beautiful blue eyes. He's starting to look like his father. "Tou-san, Kaa-san, Sasuke's parents, Ero-sensei, Neji, and your old teammate Rin are alive."
Kakashi froze. "Edo tensei?"
"No. Something. That brings them back to life. Something more advanced, it makes them look like they didn't even die." Sasuke says.
"When do they arrive?" Kakashi asks.
"Tomorrow. But Kakashi. Obito isn't too far away, from them." Tsunade says.
"The 4th shinobi war is happening again?" Kakashi asks.
Before Tsunade can reply, Naruto beats her. "No, nothing like that will happened. We don't want the world to be in fear again. They just got over that a year ago. They don't want to be reminded of that time. We're in peace right now, lets stay in peace for a lot longer."
Tsunade smiles. You've grown, Naruto "Naruto is right. The Konoha 12, their senseis, ANBU, and I will deal with them. The other Kages are ready to join in a minute notice. So if the smallest possibility that will happen, we're ready."
"Nothing we can't handle." Naruto smiles.
"Oh." Sasuke says, and digs into his pouch. He takes out 3 newly made 3-pronged kunai. "Happy Birthday Dobe."
Naruto accepts them, and puts them into his pouch. "Thanks teme."
Shizune returns with gifts. Naruto smiles, and about to open one when Kurama calls him into the mindscape.
"Naruto." Kurama says.
"Hmm?" Nartuo asks.
"They're in the forest." Kurama says.
Naruto looks at Kurama confused. "Who?"
"The people who are supposed to be here tomorrow!" Kurama yells.
Naruto pales.
"Naruto?" Shizune asks, noticing Naruto pale.
Naruto puts his mask back on. "Kage Bushin no Jutsu." Fox's clone flashes to the forest with a kunai.
"What is happening?" Tsunade demands.
"Everyone grab each other. I have no time to explain." Fox orders. Everyone grabs each other. This is going to hurt.
Everyone grabs each other and Fox uses Hiraishin no Jutsu to teleport everyone to the forest.
The 5 ninjas arrive to the forest. Fox falls onto the ground, panting.
"Oh my god. Remind me to never do that again." Fox pants.
"Why are we here, Fox?" Tsunade asks once again.
Before Fox can answer, Chicken senses something. "Tsunade-sama. Behind you."
Everyone turns around, there emerging from the forest, are the 7 dead people who are supposed to be here tomorrow. "I thought you said they'll be here tomorrow." Kakashi asks.
"Well. That didn't happen." Chicken said, getting into a fighting stance. Everyone followed after.
"They're under some sort of genjustu." Kurama informs.
"Do you have any way to remove it?" Fox asks.
Kurama thinks. "Yeah. But it's be painful for you. I'm going to be sending large amount of chakara to them, at a high speed. So bear with it."
Fox nods. "Let's get it over with."
"Tsunade-sama. They're under a genjustsu." Fox informs.
"Ok. What's the plan?" Chicken asks.
"Kurama has a plan, but I'm gonna be in pain." Fox answers.
"Let's get it over with before anyone notices I'm gone or notices them." Tsunade orders.
The last thing Fox sees is Kurama switching places with him, the darkness.
