AN: Yay I'm back and with a new chapet! Finally! Anyways, thanks a lot for the reviews and I hope you like the chappie.
Kotetsu and Izumo were stuck with watching the gate…again. Though, it was their duty to do as they were told by their superiors, they were both getting tired of doing the same thing every day…for two weeks. "Sheesh, one would think they were being punished for something. How long do they think we can take sitting on our asses all day?" Izumo grumbled as he stretched. His partner merely rolled his eyes. "Be thankful we're not doing something more tedious like chasing cats all day." Kotetsu sighed and took out the log book.
Izumo glared at his partner but said nothing. He had a good point. However, he felt different when he woke up that morning. It was weird, as if he knew something was coming but couldn't put his finger on it. He was about to as his companion about it when the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end. Out of the corner of his eye he saw his partner tense stopped in the middle of turning a page. Something's here… Kotetsu's eyes practically spoke.
"What do you think it is?" Izumo whispered from the corner of his mouth.
The other barely shrugged his shoulder. "They definitely let us know they were coming. I sense two chakra signatures. If they didn't want us to know they would've been more inconspicuous, ne?"
He nodded.
Before they could send word to any surrounding ninja they saw two figures appear out of the forest; one tall, one short. As they approached the two ninja got a good look at the strangers. The taller was a male about five foot nine with long chocolate brown hair that spiked at the very ends, swaying gently at mid-back. His forehead was protected with a hitai ate with a snowflake design with the cloth reaching to his lower back. His face was marked with red paint similar to that of Kiba, but thinner and beneath his eyes.
The shorter was a female with black hair with white-tipped hair tied at the nape of her neck. The same type of hitai ate was tied around her neck with the cloth stopping at her lower back along with her hair. Both ninja were foreign, exotic, beauties.
As they drew closer the Leaf ninja were struck by their cold eyes frozen in their tracks they only spoke up when the mysterious ninja came to a stop before them. "Identify yourselves. You are foreign; therefore we can't trust you just yet." Kotetsu spoke authoritively. The man nodded though it was the young woman that spoke. "We understand," her voice was a soothing, silky, alto, "if it is preferred we can be escorted to your Hokage."
"We first need you to state your name and business for the records." Izumo said producing the log book.
The young man stated his name first, a creamy baritone floated through the air. "Inuzuka Tro."
"Inuzuka…isn't that-?"
"Your name, miss?"
"Kira…my surrogate name is of no consequence and to be discussed only with the Fifth."
Izumo and Kotetsu looked suspicious but Tro's piercing cobalt blue eyes glared with impatience. "It would do you no good," Kira said, "if you got my partner angry. He's been a bit testy lately." Kira smiled goofily, her eyelids closing over the black iris's. Izumo frowned, Something about her seems strangely familiar... Kotetsu looked from Izumo to the strangers then sighed. "Follow me." He mumbled and took off towards the Hokage tower.
Two blurs sped through the forest, one after the other. The first a black and yellow streak, the second a red and white one. The first zigzagged through the trees, bobbing and weaving to avoid branches and such. Though on his tail, the second was beginning to slow and tire. "That's enough for one day Naruto!" called out the white-haired man. Jiraiya's voice was weary and tired as he huffed and puffed to fill his lungs with air. Naruto jumped down from the tree he was standing in with a cocky smirk slapped on his face. "What's the problem old man? Can't keep up with a little whippersnapper like me?" Naruto's scratchy, cracked voice turned smoother and deeper overnight. A short laugh and a pat on Jiraiya's back subdued his ego.
"It's all right, take a rest. With these new abilities I've been given a lot more energy." The blonde reasoned and smiled. He felt so…giddy. He wanted to play around some more just to get rid of the bubbly feeling in his stomach. Something from the corner of his eye caught his attention and he sniffed the air. A rabbit. He was getting a little hungry and Jiraiya wanted to stop for lunch for a bit. Looking over to the man who just caught his breath he turned and grinned like the fox he was. "I'm gonna get us some lunch." Before Jiraiya could say a word Naruto was off giving chase to the rabbit that was making his mouth water.
Jiraiya sat down with widened eyes. Shaking his head he closed his eyes and took a deep breath before exhaling a sigh. "I knew he'd be a handful but this is ridiculous. His attention span is that of a five year old." The elder grumbled and cracked his neck. Before he could think of something he could do for the next ten or twenty minutes he heard a rustling in the bushes. The rustling got closer and closer until Naruto's head popped out of the bushes and then his entire body.
"Hey, Ero-sennin, I got us a good haul…what're you staring at?"
Jiraiya's eyes widened for the second time before he pointed to Naruto's head. "Y-your head! Naruto, you have ears on the top of your head!"
"Don't be stupi- HOLY CHEESE ON RYE!" Naruto touched the top of his head and felt soft, furry triangular ears. "What the-?" He touched the place where his ears had original been and squeaked in surprise to find nothing there. "Pervy sage, you better have an explanation!"
Jiraiya only looked in awe at his pupil but then saw something swish from behind said pupil. "Um…Naruto…look behind you…"
At first Naruto questioned the old man's sanity until then he realized that he himself was going crazy. He saw a tail protruding out from his lower back. "DAMNIT! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!" he screeched indignantly.
"A tail, apparently. A bushy on at that." Jiraiya couldn't help but be amused.
"I know that asshole! But what's it doing on my body?!"
Jiraiya just shrugged and began to skin the rabbit Naruto acquired. Naruto sat, careful not to harm his new appendage, and took it gently in his hand. It was soft, very soft, and if he tugged it the right way it send pleasurable tingles down his spine. Remember that for later use... Naruto filed it away in his mind. As he checked out his new tail he saw that his nails had sharpened into fine points. Picking up a stick off of the ground he took it between two fingers and, with little pressure, punctured and snapped the stick in half. The blonde squirmed with glee. When he had begun to get a little antsy with his body change he closed his eyes and concentrated as hard as he could. Tingling sensations on his head, hands, and back were all he needed to confirm that his body was back to normal. He suddenly smirked. This...is so…COOL!
An: Okay, somewhat long chapter but I'll try to update real soon. Thanks again for the reviews.
