Hello hello hello, and welcome back to Naruto: mask of the fox. I really couldn't wait to get started on this next chapter, but a few things before I begin. One even though that small contest I added in was from the previous chapter, which is now taken out, it WILL continue until someone correctly answers, or until it reaches chapter 15. Number two I started this on my phone, and might even finish it on here so I can't guarantee great quality.

Review shoutouts

At the time I begin these I only have one guest review, but if I get more I will try to get them added in. Unless I'm answering a major question that a lot of people ask(ed) then I will only use this to answer guest reviews since I can't pm them.

Guest: It has a pretty good start so far, I like it. I also liked how you used a ll cool j song, pretty awesome!

Thanks, and I honestly didn't know who sang the song its just there as a spoof (side note, new readers the scene reffered to here was removed from the first chapter and put as an omake at the end of this one.)

One more quick note, please don't repeat the singer if your trying to answer that contest as it refers to where that scene came from, not who sings it.

Alright I know I said one more note but I feel the need to do a quick key for my readers, and I know I didn't do this for Kyuubi last chapter I will from here on though

edit to after note on 4/24/14

I realized on my reread before starting the next chapter that I didn't add in the footnotes, this is the only change and is at the bottom of the page

'yo' thinking

"Yo" speaking

'Yo' Kyuubi/summons thinking

"Yo" Kyuubi/ summons talking

italics are flashbacks, the same key applies just add italics

The following Monday

Naruto was sitting in class, just waiting for it to begin as other students slowly started to enter either alone or chatting in groups. He still wore his new look, this time a black athletic shirt and shorts that had blue stripes that met up from one piece of clothing to the other. About twenty minutes before class was to start, Sasuke stormed in, heading straight for the only male blond in the class. Said blond looked at him without interest, at least until he found himself temporarily unable to move, causing him to narrow his eyes at the smirking Uchiha.

Said Uchiha was laughing on the inside, Mizuki sensei had paid well on his promise.

Flashback

Sasuke was resting on his bed in the infirmary, and Mizuki came in to stand next to him.

"Sasuke, do you want to learn a nice little genjutsu?"

"Why would I want to learn illusions?"

"Oh genjutsu aren't just illusions... they can make someone feel the pain of death or go to sleep, just about anything... even render them immobile."

Sasuke turned his head and looked up at his sensei with a smirk

flashback end

Sasuke walked in front of the blond and gave him a straight punch to the nose, just before his genjutsu wore off. Naruto's nose broke and everyone stared as he reached up to hold it. Sasuke was smirking down at him. "Had to make sure the dobe wasn't getting full of hims-" he was cut off when he felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see Iruka staring down at him in anger.

"Sasuke in the office, Naruto you can go clean up in the bathroom." Sasuke scowled and left as Naruto stood calmly and went to was up.

The boys bathroom

Naruto was in a foul mood, he had shed his shirt covered in blood from his gushing nose which the Kyuubi was already handling. "Freaking teme"

Iruka's classroom

Ino raised her hand about ten minutes into class, asking to use the bathroom. She, along with most of the students had missed the incident, but she was having... mathematical issues. 32 ounce cup of tea, 16 ounce bladder.

After Iruka nodded at her from at the chalkboard, she stood and walked out of the classroom a slight sway in her step, and heading down the hall, she had to close her eyes due to a slight migraine, causing her to walk blindly and go a few more steps more than she should have before she opened the bathroom door.

She stepped inside and opened her eyes as the door swung shut, and she instantly felt her cheeks heat up, as well as a bit of heat a lot lower. "N-naruto what are you doing in the girls room!"

Said shirtless boy turned his head toward her with a small smile and just point with his thumb at a row of urinals, making her blush further and also allowing her to see his busted nose.

"Naruto, what happened?" She said as he moved closer to him, her eyes appraising the damage.

"Sasuke locked me up and punched me. Stupid teme"

Surprisingly to him she didn't get mad, she just grabbed a paper towel and wet it in the sink, before she gently started to wipe the blood away.

"Ino? What are you-"

"Shush Naruto, just stay still"

Naruto's eyes widened. He had never heard her talk so quietly... with so much concern... It was kind of sexy too. He reached up to grasp her hand holding it back from his bloodied nose, and stared into her eyes.

Ino almost jumped in surprise. She had never looked into Naruto's eyes... never really looked in and seen that sadness... that loneliness. Ino was not a subtle girl, and when she saw something she wanted she had a tendency to take it, so she leaned forward, and going up on the tips of her toes she pressed her lips against his.(1)

His eyes widened before they returned to normal and he relaxed. He went to put his hands on her waist, but that seemed to snap her out of it and a large blush coming to her face she backed out of his grip and ran out of the bathroom, and into the girls one. 'I can't believe I kissed Naruto!' Being the main thought on her mind. 'But it was kind of... good... and it tasted like ramen. Stupid dieting.' she thought with a small smile then a grimace.

One week later

Iruka sighed, as now he had two blond haired blue eyed students that tuned him out. He ignored it for now since they were studying, but if they didn't pay attention for his lecture then by kami he'd-"

Ino had her chin in her palm and was staring out the window, she had been avoiding Naruto now for a while, and ever since that kiss she thought more and more about him, though most of the time she was trying to figure out why she was thinking about him and then things just kept getting more confusing.

Naruto's mindscape

Naruto was thinking much the same, but he was doing so in his mind, pacing in front of a titanic orange fox and splashing through the knee deep water, to distracted to channel chakra to his feet. The aforementioned titanic fox had had enough of his mutterings though.

"Enough gaki!" he commanded, the breath expelled by his words causing even more sloshing of the water. Naruto glared in his direction expectantly, wanting to know why he had been interrupted.

"Alright Boy, here is what you need to do.." rumbled the ancient demon, getting Naruto's attention since he for the life of him couldn't figure out what to act like around Ino now.

"You need to go up to her, and sniff under her tail really deeply. Then you nip her flank- that always drives the vixens wild let me tell you- and you run away from her, but don't lose her just get her to chase you, then when your alone you tackle her and mark her as your ow-"

"ENOUGH! Stupid ero-kitsune, that would get me arrested!" shouted the boy before the fox could get graphic.

"Kyuubi sat up on his haunches and did the best version of a shrug a fox could manage. "I guess your on your own then... prude" he chuckled and before the boy could retort he was thrown from his mind scape, cursing like a sailor the whole way out. Kyuubi just rolled on its back, laughing it up, his tails waving about.

Back at the academy

Iruka was three minutes into his lecture, the normal amount of time he would give the slackers to wake up. He flipped three erasers up between his fingers like kunai and threw them, two sailing towards our favorite blonds, the last at a pineapple haired boy.

Ino didn't see it coming, getting smacked in the face with it, and Shikamru 'just happened to' roll over before he was hit. But most interesting of all was Naruto's reaction, he looked pissed as hell all of a sudden, and he reacted just as the brush was inches from his face, reaching up to snatch it from the air and crushing it. He opened his eyes a few seconds later and looked around, noticing the bits of eraser in his hand, the looks he was getting, and the tic on Iruka's forehead, he put two and two and two together to get six, and at least had the decency to look sheepish.

"Naruto!" Iruka yelled.

'Oh boy...'

-omake the fight v2!-

Naruto stood their, after pointing out he was clothed, and pulled out a pair of sunglasses and MMA gloves.

Everyone was staring, but Mizuki didn't really give a damn. "Hajime!" Naruto ignored Sasuke again and unsealed a boombox, setting it down and hitting play, putting on his shades as he turned around.

Sasuke, sick of being ignored, charged at him as he was turning, a fist cocked back.

Naruto caught the punch with his left while giving the Uchiha multiple right jabs, and a rap beat started from the boombox (had to rewind) before Naruto gave him a hard right to the ribs tossing him back.

"I'm gonna knock you out! Hugh!" he disappeared in a burst of speed, appearing in the path of the flying ducks ass, punching him in the spine. "Momma said knock you out!" he jumped after the airborne Uchiha and punch him in the ribs, sending him at the ground. "I'm gonna knock you out Hugh!" he disappeared once more, appearing below the falling Uchiha, his right fist raised heroically as Sasuke landed centered on his fist, folding backwards sickeningly, and a deep booming voice sound from all around the area "FATALITY!" which scared the shit out of everyone for a second, even Iruka. Naruto let him drop and stared down at him.

Sasuke, with tears in his eyes said "I have a hawk... His name is Ronnie."

Naruto leaned down and said "WELL TELL RONNIE YOU JUST GOT KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT!"

(1) Its my story so i'm making Naruto a couple inches taller than cannon. Deal with it.

Alrighty, that should just about do it, and i'm seeing a point five increase in words from last chapter. Yeah, I hate short chapters too, but at the same time, when they pass around four thousand it gets to be a chore to read, once I get going pretty well at this I should put out 2-3k word chaps, I hope.
