Life As A Fox

Chapter 2

By: Passionate-Eyes

"Where is it?!" Naruto yelled as he frantically searched for the scroll he had forgotten, "if Tsunade found out that I lost it…brrrr…..I can already feel her punches."

'Sometimes your idiocy can be very amusing kit' the fox had replied with a chuckle.

'Now what do you want you damn fox' Naruto replied with an angry tone in his voice 'whatever it is can wait.'

'I was merely going to make a suggestion you stupid moron' and with that the fox vanished before Naruto could reply.

As he kept on his frantic search he suddenly got a strong feeling that he was being watched. But when he turned to check he was all alone. "I could've sworn tha…."

His words were cut off as a huge explosion erupted from behind him, sending him thru his window down towards the ground from the fifth floor. As he landed he felt his ribs and left leg throb in pain as he heard a cracking sound, and it wasn't just the ground that cracked.

Tsunade was suddenly surprised to hear an explosion come from the village. She completely ignored doing the paperwork on her desk to turn and see that the explosion had come from the area where Naruto lived.

"Lady Tsunade did you hear that explo..!!" Shizune was suddenly cut off as Tsunade jumped out the window and headed towards the area of the explosion.

"Please, please, don't let this feeling be right" Tsunade said to herself as she made her way to Naruto's apartment.

Hinata suddenly gasped as she heard the explosion come from the direction of her apartment. When she turned, she saw the smoke come from the building. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.

She suddenly felt something crawl up her clothing onto her shoulder. She turned to see that it was Kitsune. And out of nowhere the little fox yelled at her, "Hurry up and get us to Naruto, Hinata!!"

Naruto now barely stood up as his injured leg and broken ribs didn't heal. This came as a very big surprise because all of his injuries had always healed up only seconds after he had received them.

Naruto's instincts kicked in.

He was suddenly surrounded by a dozen shinobi, which wore the symbol of the cloud village. He took his fighting stance, even though he was still in pain from his injuries from the fall. He knew he was in for a tough fight.

The cloud nin suddenly began charging at him. The first one charged at him and swung a kick, which Naruto easily blocked. But was then hit from below as another nin had come from under the first attacker. He was sent flying as he was then grabbed and thrown forcefully from midair as two of his attackers kicked him hard towards the ground.

Naruto quickly jumped out of the way as a barrage of kunai rained on the exact spot where he had landed. He quickly rolled into a position but then released that it had been a bad idea as the pain in his leg and ribs sent him back to the ground from the intensity.

"I can't believe that this boy is the one our lord regarded as the strongest shinobi in Konoha. If he's their strongest, then the invasion will be a cake walk." Naruto heard one of them say. This one sounded very young and arrogant.

"Don't underestimate him you idiot." Responded an older sounding shinobi.

'Come on you stupid fox, do you want us to die here' Naruto had yelled inside his mind at the fox. Naruto had entered the seal and saw that the fox wasn't even conscious. 'What the fuck happened.' Naruto came out of his dreamscape with a very worried feeling.

How the hell could the fox have been knocked out cold? How is that even possible? These questions kept popping up in his head as the fight had resumed.

Hinata wasn't sure what to think but quickly did as she was told as she dashed towards her apartment. She was still a little surprised that the little fox had, not only spoken, but also yelled at her.

She arrived in only seconds to witness Naruto fighting around a dozen shinobi. She noticed that Naruto appeared to be in serious pain as with each one of his movements he winced.

Hinata immediately activated her Byakugan and rushed in to aid him.

Naruto was relieved to see Hinata charged into the fight Byakugan activated. But was a little surprised to see Kitsune riding on her shoulder.

A few of the cloud nin quickly began their attack on her. The first one charged with a kunai, which Hinata deflected and sent the nin flying towards his comrades taking some of them down. Then attacking the whole bunch with her chakra lances instantly killing the group as they pierced their entire body. She then changed her attention on the rest of the cloud nin, that were now charging at Naruto.

The next thing that occurred couldn't even be described. One second he saw Kitsune on Hinata's shoulder, the next he was standing in between the cloud nin and himself, getting bigger and bigger.

Kitsune's growing didn't stop until he was easily about the same size as Akamaru, maybe even bigger. He then charged at the last of the cloud nin. All of them were instantly killed in as a giant red blur passed through them.

Then Kitsune's attention turned towards the injured Naruto. Its gaze was full of so much bloodlust that he couldn't move as he approached.

A/N: Well here's chp two...don't know what else to say.
