Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto there would be a yaoi moment between Sasuke and Naruto every minute but sadly I don't.
Warnings: This fict is a yaoi (Boy X Boy) it also has violence and of course we can't forget all the inappropriate language. Oh and one I forgot to add last two chapters, possible OOC
A/N: Hello and Welcome!!! I know I took forever to update but the thing is that I apparently choose a bad time to begin a fan fiction but I wont bore you with my life story.

Well moving along I want to thank all of those who reviewed and well that's about it. Now ON WITH THE SHOW!!!!

Kage No Kitsune: Ch. 4 Arrival
Last time
Six cloaked, and masked, figures moved swiftly through the forest jumping from branch to branch with ease.
"Captain how much longer till we reached Konoha?" asked one of the cloaked figures.
"We should arrive within a couple of hours if we keep moving at this speed." Answered the figure at the front.
"Well then let's hurry. We have to hurry so we can fix the little problem those imposters caused." said another figure.
They all nodded in agreement and just slightly sped up.
And now…
Tsunade closed her eyes and sighed, massaging her temples feeling another headache coming on, as a chunin disappeared in puff of smoke. A few seconds and another puff of smoke later there were two ANBU standing before her. One had a bear mask with simple designs and the other with a cat mask that had more complex designs than that of the bear.
"You called for us Tsunade-sama?" asked a female voice from behind the cat mask.
"Yes. I need the two of you to go to the village gates. There will be a group of cloaked people with masks. I want you to escort them here to my office. And please be cautious of them. They are the members of the Shadow assassins" Tsunade ordered.
The eyes of both ANBU widened upon hearing that they were to escort the famous assassin group but they soon regained their composure.
"Hai!" they both answered and as they disappeared in a puff of smoke Tsunade heard a mumbled "Troublesome".
Tsunade sighed once again and leaned back in her chair thinking back to the message the two assassins, currently in the Konoha prison, had sent back with a chunin for her.
~~Flashback~~
Tsunade sat there drinking her sake, her headache mostly gone, when a chunin appeared in her office.
"Hokage-sama I have a message from the prisoners" announced the chunin
"Well what is it?" she questioned
The chunin began the message that he was asked to relay by the two assassins. "They asked me to give you some information on their captain and the group that is coming with him. They said that the two that tried to kill you were disguised as their captain and another member of their group and that we should not be alarmed of them. Also there are seven people in the group total. They said that they are positive that neither he nor the rest of the group will harm anyone.
"He also wanted me to tell you that if it was possible to have someone go out and meet them since they don't want anymore misunderstandings happening."
"Is that all they said?" Questioned the Hokage thinking 'I was going to have someone meet them even if they didn't ask'
"Hai, Hokage-Sama" nodded the chunin
"Alright" she looked down and thought for a moment. The chunin waited until his leader gave him more orders or dismissed him. Finally Tsunade raised her head and addressed the chunin "I want you to go and get both Shikamaru and Ino for me. The chunin nodded and was gone in puff of smoke.
~End Flashback~
Tsunade turned and looked out onto the village from the windows in her office. For some reason she was feeling the beginning of a massive headache coming on. The kind that only Naruto seemed capable of giving her. That saddened her; she truly missed her adoptive little brother.
________________________ (At the Konoha Gates) _______________________
The two ANBU, Ino and Shikamaru, were waiting for their 'guest' to arrive. Ino was scowling under her mask not wanting to meet the ones who were most likely the killer of one of her friends. Shikamaru only had a frown on his face because he found it too troublesome to scowl.
Suddenly both could see a group of seven people with the same description that Tsunade
had given them. They both put their guards up incase the infamous team decided to attack. When the assassin team finally came to a stop a few feet in front of them they waited for the hostile feeling that they were sure the team carried around with them. But instead of the hostile feeling the team had a very calming atmosphere about them.
The two were surprised but quickly got over it when the one in the head of the team, thee guessed this was their captain, spoke up. "Hello we are here to see your Hokage and if I'm not mistaken you are here to escort us to her correct?"
"Yes that is correct" Ino answered "Please follow us" and both she and Shikamaru began to walk into the village. The assassin team silently followed them in.
As they walked through the village, Ino in front leading them and Shikamaru in the back watching them, the villagers would stare and mumble about these strange visitors. Wondering who these new people were, why they were being escorted by ANBU.
Finally the group made it to the Hokage tower. They went up the steps and to the door that led into the Hokage's office. Ino nodded at the two ANBU on either side of the Hokage's door. Then she knocked twice and they heard the Hokage tell them to come in.
Ino opened the door, stepped inside and bowed. The others filed in and as Shikamaru went to stand next to Ino, he noticed that there was an ANBU next to the Hokage.
'Sasuke' he immediately identified the ANBU.
"We have brought the group as you requested, Hokage-sama" Ino reported to her Hokage.
Tsunade looked at the group behind the two ANBU and then back at the ANBU. "Very well you are dismissed."
The two ANBU nodded and then disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Sasuke glared at the two familiar fox and wolf masks. He knew that these two were not imposters but he still felt resentment towards them for the lie and hope the imposters had planted in him and then destroyed.
The one in the fox mask stepped forward and bowed. "It's a pleasure to finally be able to meet you Hokage-sama. I'm just upset that it had to be under these circumstances." The male voice politely greeted.
"Yes I agree." Tsunade responded also being polite. "The circumstances are rather unpleasant Kage No Kitsune-san."
The fox chuckled "Please no need to be so formal, you can just address us according to our mask. We only use our other name when we are on a job." Fox then became serious and bowed again "I would like to apologize for my incompetence. I as captain allowed those two impostors to run around freely, I should have had them disposed of earlier. Because of that you were almost killed. I deeply apologize. Please allow us to make it up to you somehow."
Tsunade blinked in surprised. She was expecting an apology, yes, but she wasn't expecting them to offer to make it up to her. She quickly composed herself and asked "Why?"
Fox looked back up at her and answered, a bit amused at the question "Contrary to popular belief we aren't heartless killers. This is business for us; we only kill when we have to. For this reason we try to avoid events such as this from happening. We would hate to lose a potential customer because a misunderstanding such as this, so please allow us to make it up to you by lending you our power and abilities in any way you see fit"
