I do not own Naruto.

"Could you repeat that?"

"Why?"

"Because there is no way in hell you just said that Orochimaru and Uchiha Sasuke are alive."

"I didn't say that. I said that Orochimaru is alive and he is resurrecting other dead ninja with the help of Yakushi Kabuto and Uchiha Sasuke."

"I need a drink, no two drinks."

"What's the problem Baa-chan we just gotta kick their asses again."

"We are at war with two of the great shinobi nations and their allies, we have undead ninja threatening us, and we have no idea what is going on with the bijuu. At this point things cannot possibly get worse for us."

On the heels of that statement a nondescript ninja rushes in and says, "Kumogakure has joined into the Iwa-Mizu alliance!"

"Goddamnit anymore bad news I need to here before I can get drunk!"

"Probably."

"Shut up Naruto!"

Before Tsunade can maim the blonde demonic shinobi another nondescript ninja rushes in to say, "Hokage-sama the land of wind is considering removing the current Kazekage to join in the Iwa-Mizu alliance!"

"Fantastic! Anymore good news? Hey Naruto I don't suppose the Kyuubi is going to get loose all of a sudden? No, I got a better one all the Bijuu are marching on the village. Yeah that should round out the day nicely."

"The Kyuubi is getting loose!"

"No you twit its sarcasm! Everyone get the hell out of my office so I can get drunk damnit!" As the brave ninja rush out of the room they hear, "And someone better tell Shizune that the next person to enter this office today dies even if it's the end of the world!"

'I like her. I think I'll let her live when I have this village destroyed.'

'You're not destroying the village Kyuubi!'

'…'

'Are you pouting?'

'I am the great and mighty Kyuubi no Kitsune! I! Don't! Pout! Anyone who says otherwise is a liar and a snack. I was brooding.'

'Oh crap that's worse. Now I have a giant, furry, nine-tailed, vulpine, Sasuke in my head!'

'I can speed up the transformation and turn you into a fox right now you know.'

'I'll be good.'

'How are those brats you're supposed to be teaching doing?'

'They're pissed off that I made them spar with Lee after increasing their weights for not removing the weights to fight.'

'I'll make a demon out of you yet kit.'

'Gee thanks. That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, oh wait, no that's just you I'm feeling.'

Looking around to find where he went after fleeing the Hokage's wrath and talking with his tenant Naruto found himself watching Lee and his students. 'They look pretty bad. I think that's enough. Maybe if I'm quick we can get away before he begins a speech on the flames of youth.' "Alright that's enough! Thank you for the assistance Lee, but their training is over for the day."

"It was nothing Naruto! I enjoyed aiding in the education of three youthful ninjas about the burning flames of youth!"

Looking around for his students to see if they could get away yet or not he found the training grounds devoid of anyone besides Lee and himself. 'Traitors. Leaving me here to face him alone. I will make them pay for this crime. Ungrateful brats.'

"Naruto it seems I have kept you for too long. Your most youthful students have gone on to find other equally youthful ways to make their passionate flames of youth burn even stronger."

"Sure. I'm sure that's what they did Lee. Bye." Running at speeds only achievable when the fear of Lee or Gai is in someone Naruto rapidly escaped the spandex clad taijutsu master.

'You are running out of time for goodbyes. You have a few days at most before for turn into a full demon.'

'Well I've settled things with all my friends, but I haven't even seen Hinata in months. Even Neji won't tell me anymore then that she is caught up with some kind of family affairs and no one can see her. What the hell kind of family affairs take months damnit!'

'I can think of a few off the top of my head, but I doubt they're what it is.'

'I'm not sure I want to know what you're thinking of just yet Kyuubi.'

'Just sneak in and visit her. You are a shinobi are you not? Aren't you Uzumaki Naruto the boy who was evading Chuunin at age nine, Jounin at age ten, and ANBU at age eleven? Are you not the master prankster who defaced the most honored monument in a shinobi village in broad daylight in full view of the public with no one the wiser until you had finished?'

'Well yeah but…'

'But nothing! Sneak into the Hyuuga residence, see the vixen, say your goodbyes, and then lets get the hell out of here before you start moping about something else!'

'Was that an order?'

'Damn right it was servant. Now get to work!'

Giving a grin which is far too vulpine in nature to appear on a completely human face, Naruto takes off to sneak into the home of a clan renowned for its observational prowess. 'I don't suppose there is any sort of demonic illusion I could use to make this easier?'

'Not really. Doing it at night might help though.'

'No way. If the Hyuuga are going to be watching for intruders at all then it will be at night. After all who expects someone to sneak in at noon. Nobody that's who. Everyone expects people to sneak in at midnight with the cover of night so they keep watch heaviest then. In the day however you can stumble about half drunkenly while sneaking in and anyone who finds your trail will think its just someone who lives there disturbing things.'

'You've put far too much thought into this for someone who has neither illicit liaisons with people in the house nor intends to rob said house.'

'I had one hell of a prank planned for them, but when I graduated the academy I decided not to go through with it, and what about for a person who doesn't want to kill them?'

'If you struck during the day with the intention to kill you would miss far more than if you struck at night while they were at home asleep.'

'For a giant demon fox you know far too much about ways to kill while in a human body.'

'Thank you.'

'That wasn't a compliment. It's kind of creepy actually.'

'Just finish sneaking in before I get bored and flare my chakra to attract attention.'

'I'm right outside her window. That's pretty thoroughly snuck in I'd say.' Opening the window before carefully climbing in and closing it behind him Naruto turns around and sees two Eyes staring into his own with the byakugan active.

"Identify yourself intruder."

"Hi Hinata."

"I know who I am. Now, tell me who you are before I decide to kill you and find out later."

"It's me. Naruto. You know blonde, future-hokage, jinchuuriki for Kyuubi, and well do I really need to go on?"

"Prove it."

"Huh?"

"You are hidden beneath so much clothe that the byakugan can barely make you out. Now prove that you are Uzumaki Naruto."

"How? If I move you'll kill me, remember?"

With a strange glint in her eyes Hinata leaned forward and whispered to Naruto, "Kiss me."

"What? You just want some stranger to kiss you?"

"It's the only way to tell if you're the real Naruto or not."

"How can I kiss you with all this clothe in the way?"

"Like this." Removing the numerous layers of clothe Hinata revealed Naruto's face beneath it all before leaning in for a passionate kiss. Breaking apart Hinata said, "Nope you're not Naruto. Too bad I have to kill you. You're a pretty good kisser."

"No fair Hinata-chan! Besides since when do you make it a habit to look through the clothes of strange men that sneak into your room?"

As the two break down into laughter from their mock quarrel Hinata says, "What took you so long?"

"Well everyone said you were held up by important family business and no one could see you. Then I got a genin team to look after."

"Wait Tsunade-sama trusted you with some genin? Our dear Hokage must've cracked under the pressure. Giving a team of impressionable young genin to a man whose role-models were Kakashi and Jiraiya when it comes to teaching."

"Hey! I go and sneak past the Hyuuga clan to visit you and you repay me by taunting me."

"I'm sorry Naruto it's just so much fun to tease you."

"So what is this family business anyway?"

Blushing Hinata stutters out, "Well it's umm w-w-well it's you k-know f-f-family things."

Looking at her he just sighs. "Not really, nope, I have no clue. You look fine. Nobody is worried about anything bad happening to you. So I can't think of something that would require you to stay at home. However I've learned to just let you tell me when you're ready whenever you start blushing and stuttering. It does usually wind up being a good thing though so I can wait till you tell me."

"Thank you Naruto. Now I suspect you had some other reason for sneaking in aside from just seeing me so tell me what it is."

"You sure you don't want to talk about something else?"

With her blush completely gone and in a firm almost commanding voice Hinata said, "Yes I am sure now spill it."

"Well can I activate the privacy seals first?"

"Fine, but stop stalling."

'She knows me way too well for my own good.'

'Damn right kit. You're screwed unless you tell her the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.'

'Thanks for the vote of confidence.' "Well you see on that mission I left for after the last time we met I got captured by Akatsuki. The fox really didn't want to serve them so it made a deal with me. The deal resulted in me getting this tattoo here which is really like a seal or something. Anyway this thing wiped out Akatsuki for me, but it also started to turn me into a demon. It also made me Kyuubi's servant, but all that really means is the fox bitches at me to destroy konoha more. Also since I'm the fox's servant and vessel I'm pretty much it's second in command or something while here in the human world possibly whatever world it came from too. Anyway as you can tell from my appearance the transformation into a demon is nearing completion. It should finish in a couple days at most according to the fox, but once its done I'll be stuck in my full demon form until I figure out how to change into a human form. Because of that I'm going away from the village for awhile, probably a few years, to control my new abilities. I've told everyone else that it was a latent kekkei-genkai that some how mixed with the fox's chakra or something and I need to leave the village to learn how to control it and keep the fox from doing anything. Jiraiya knows the truth though, and he might tell Baa-chan eventually."

"Wow. Can I come along?"

"Well no. Ya see I had to get an exemption thingie that allows me to leave the village and be out of contact for long indeterminate periods of time without being labeled a missing nin. I doubt I can get Baa-chan to give you one on such short notice."

"Maybe we can get her to make it a mission?"

"Nope tried that. You need a fairly set time period for a mission, but I don't have one." At this Hinata began to pout. 'Oh crap she looks like someone killed her dog now.' "I'll be sure to come back soon Hinata, and I'll find some way to keep in touch with you ok?"

Smiling Hinata said, "Alright. I suppose I can accept that. You had better come back soon though."

"I will be back as soon as I can. I promise Hinata-chan." With those words he turned off the privacy seals and snuck out of the Hyuuga complex.

As her form shifted to one slightly smaller, younger, and more condescending the woman once disguised as Hinata said, "Perfect. Hinata's boytoy is leaving on some kind of classified mission. I wish I knew what all that coded crap he said meant. Oh well Father will be happy he is going to be gone for a few years at least. Although I can't say I blame sister for falling for him. Even if it is against clan rules he is a very good kisser." Smirking Hanabi left her sister's room and went to tell her father Hiashi what had transpired.

Walking into the Hokage's office Naruto said, "Hey Baa-chan you got whatever I need for this exemption thingie ready?"

"Yes the paper work is all filled out. You can leave anytime. You don't even need to wear your hitai-ite unless you want to."

"Thanks. I'll see you and Ero-sennin in a few years. Look after everyone for me okay?"

"Sure thing gaki. Now get out of here and go get control of your new abilities."

'So where to from here Kyuubi-sama?'

'Are you actually showing me respect?'

'You know if you don't like it I can take it back.'

'No, no a respect you is fine. Surprising but fine. Now since you are going to be a full demon shortly we're going to go train amongst full demons.'

'Huh?'

'We're going to the underworld for your training first kit.'

'How?'

'Feel around for the largest concentration of demonic energy you can find, and go towards it. It is most likely going to be a gateway to the underworld. I'll explain more once you find it. Don't wake me until then servant.'
