Chapter 2: Answers

With a huge rush of smoke, all of Naruto and Hinata's clones dispelled. Lying bloodied and beaten on the ground was the crippled form of Mizuki. The only way to tell that it was in fact Mizuki was to look at the few spots of his hair that were not covered in blood. Satisfied with a job well done, Naruto and Hinata walked over to Iruka, helped him up and slung him over their shoulders. They started to trudge back to the village in silence when Iruka spoke up.

"So I take it that you two are hiding something rather large?" He asked the young kids.

Taking his free hand and rubbing the back of his head in a nervous gesture, Naruto said "You caught us Iruka-sensei. But we won't tell you until after we tell the old man. But I promise that we will tell you what the old man says we can safely tell you after we get his permission."

"Fine, but before you two go to talk to the hokage, can you help me get to the hospital first? These wounds are not going to heal themselves."

"That's fine Iruka-sensei. Your safety takes priority."

Just then there was the whooshing of air as several members of the ANBU appeared, followed by the hokage himself.

"Ah, Naruto, just the boy I was hoping to see. Would you care to explain why you stole the scroll of sealing and why Iruka has four shuriken in his back?" asked the hokage with an edge in his voice.

"Sure thing old man," several ANBU sweat dropped upon hearing the way he referred to the hokage, "but first we have to get Iruka-sensei to the hospital and if we are going to tell you anything it will be just you, me, and Hinata with several security seals in place." Said Naruto cheerfully.

"Very well. Cat, Boar take Iruka off their hands and get him to the hospital."

"Hai, Hokage-sama." They dutifully replied.

They shifted Iruka onto their shoulders and proceeded to Shunshin away. Freed of their burden, Naruto and Hinata stretched out their backs and got a few satisfying cracks. Hiruzen's eyes widen as they, no, she did so. They shy heir to the Hyuuga clan just cracked her back in public, and in front of the Hokage no less.

Hinata, seeing his expression, giggled and said, "What you really think that I'm that shy little girl who can't stand up to anything. No, I'm so much more than that. But we will talk about that later, when there are seals in place."

Snapping out of his shocked state, the Hokage cleared his throat and said "Well we should hurry up then, I am now very curious as to what you two have to say to me."

With that they quickened their pace to the Hokage tower.

(Hokage Tower, Hokage's room, 5 minutes later)

"Alright we are here, so what is it that you-"

"Seals first, questions later old man."

Naruto and Hinata then proceeded to go quickly through several handsigns and said "Fuinjutsu: Perfect Sound Barrier" and "Fuinjutsu: Perfect Sight Barrier." The walls of the room glowed with markings as the two jutsus took effect.

The Hokage was flabbergasted. He had just watched two academy students use an A rank fuinjutsu each. "Would you care to explain how you two just used an A ranked jutsu?" The hokage asked in a dangerous voice.

"Sure, our sensei taught it to us for pretty much this exact reason." Replied Naruto.

"You two have a sensei? Who? Everybody knows that private tutoring of academy students is not allowed unless they are within the same clan. If this person is someone in the leaf village they will be severely punished."

The Hokage then noticed something that was a bit off between the two of them, something that he only noticed because he was practically interrogating them with his gaze.

"Also you two can drop the henge. I know that you two are hiding under one."

Hearing this Naruto started clapping and laughed "Wow old man, you really are worthy of the title "God of Shinobi." To be able to see through something that not even the whole Hyuuga clan's Byakugan could see through. You really are amazing old man." Naruto turned to face Hinata and asked "Well Hina-chan, are you ready for the first mask to fall?"

"Hai, Ruto-kun, I believe that we can trust the Hokage with our secrets." Answered Hinata

At this they both made a hand seal and said "Kai" before exploding in a puff of smoke. As the smoke cleared what the Hokage saw left him completely speechless. Standing in front of him were Naruto and Hinata wrapped up in a passionate kiss. But that was not what surprised him. What surprised him was how different they looked. The people kissing in front of him were not 13. They both had the bodies of 18 year olds. Naruto was wearing his Shippuden Jacket unzipped with a tight black shirt that showed off his well-defined muscles. He wore Black pants that were similar to what the ANBU wore along with the standard black ninja shoes. His hair was a little longer than his younger selves' and it made him look like a younger Minato Namikaze. He wore black ANBU gauntlets that had an orange plate instead of the standard grey. Finally, he had a Hitae-ate that had the kanji for fox on it that was secured around his forehead by a long piece of black cloth.

Looking over to Hinata, the Hokage was hard pressed to not get a nosebleed. Only years of training by being a closet pervert allowed him to accomplish this feat. Hinata was wearing dark blue pants that clung nicely to her lower body. She wore similar shoes to Naruto only that hers were white. She also wore a very low cut lavender tank top that revealed a great deal of her bust (which the hokage estimated was easily in the e cup range, pervert powers ACTIVATE!) She also had a necklace that ended in a small red fox with nine tails. To finish off her outfit, she had a Hitae-ate that also had the kanji for fox on it that was secured around her neck by a piece of lavender cloth. But an interesting thing about her is that she had a tattoo of a nine tailed fox that looked like it was laying on the top of her left breast. The fox's tails wrapped along the underside of her breast and continued to the top of her breast. They ended with the white tips of the tails near the center of her breast.

Naruto and Hinata had been kissing all this time while Hiruzen observed their new features, but they finally broke apart to get some much needed air.

Turning to the hokage, Naruto grinned and asked "Any questions?" Which elicited a giggle from Hinata.

"Just one. How?" Answered the old man.

"That's a fun one, since we get to tell you the whole story, and hopefully that will answer any other questions that might come up. Now where to begin. Ah, yes, it was eight years ago on my birthday, October 10th…"

(Flashback No Jutsu)

"GET BACK HERE YOU DEMON!"

"DIE YOU DEMON SCUM!"

"YOU'LL PAY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE YOU DEMON BASTARD!"

These shouts and similar ones followed Naruto as he raced through the streets of Konoha to try and escape the mob that was chasing him. He turned a corner into an alleyway then suddenly slammed into someone on accident. This allowed the mob to catch up. They picked him up and slammed him against the wall.

"Now that we have you we are going to make you pay for what you have done. Look you just assaulted the Hyuuga heiress and in my opinion that deserves a death sentence. Who knows, maybe the Hyuuga clan will be so grateful that they will pay me for saving her. Anyways now you DIE!"

The man pulled out a knife and was about to thrust it into Naruto's throat when suddenly his arm went limp and he dropped his knife onto his foot. He jumped back and screamed in pain, releasing Naruto. He looked up to see the Hyuuga heiress standing in front on Naruto in a rudimentary Jyuken stance.

"You'll pay for that you little bitch!"

Pulling his knife out of his foot he turned his attention onto Hinata and advanced towards her. She was frozen in fear and couldn't do anything. She turned to ask Naruto for help but he was just standing there with a glazed look in his eyes. She ran over to him and started begging him to help her, but she got no response.

(Naruto's Mindscape)

Naruto landed with a large splash into what appeared to be a sewer system. He got up and frowned at his soaked clothes before looking around.

"Where am I?" he asked himself. The last thing he remembered was the cute girl with lavender eyes saving his life and then suddenly he was here.

"You are in your mind, Kit" answered a loud and dark voice. Naruto whipped around and saw that he was standing in front of a huge cage. Inside the cage he saw a gigantic fox with nine tails that lazily flicked about.

"My mind? How is that possible? And if so, why the hell do I have a giant furball in here with me?"

"Giant furball? Is that what you think I am? I ought to destroy you, you insignificant whelp. How dare you insult me! I am the great-"

"Kyuubi no Kitsune, yah, I know who you are, but that doesn't explain why you are in my mind though. Unless you got sealed in here by someone. If that is what happened, then suddenly my life makes a whole lot more sense."

"Well the Kit is smarter than he looks, hmmph. Yes you are right, I did get sealed in here by the Yondaime Hokage, and yes I am the sole reason why your life has been miserable. Do you hate me for that? Do you hate me for making your life shit?"

"Do I hate you? Why would I hate you? My life may not be great but at least I'm not some stuck up prick who thinks that they own the world. So no, I don't hate you, in fact I am glad that you are stuck inside of me because it has taught me humility and made me stronger."

Suddenly there was a loud booming noise that repeatedly reverberated through the sewer. It took Naruto a moment to realize that that noise was actually the Kyuubi laughing.

"HAHAHAHAHA, you are funny Kit, I'll give you that. And you have spunk too. I like that. How about I make you a deal, kit. Right now in the world, that cute girl who saved your life is about to get skewered. If you remove this god forsaken seal, I'll give you the power to save her life, and I promise not to take over your body or anything like that. Demons can't break promises. All I ask for in return is that you summon me to your world every so often and as an added bonus, I'll train you to become a ninja. How does that sound? You better act quickly before the girl gets impaled!"

"That deal sounds fine to me. I just have one question."

"What's that kit?"

"What is your real name?"

"My real name? HAHAHAHA, I really like you Kit. It's Kurama. Yours?"

"Naruto."

With that Naruto jumped up to the seal, grabbed it, but then a hand grabbed his, stopping him.

"Sorry whoever you are, but I have a life I need to save." Saying this, Naruto shook the hand off and ripped the seal completely off.

(Real World)

The explosion of chakra that happened could be felt throughout Konoha. People who knew what this chakra was thought that the world was ending. But as quickly as the explosion came, it left. ANBU raced to where the epicenter of the chakra explosion was, and what they found there was a horror scene.

Bits of human bodies were everywhere, and the alleyway was drenched in blood. Amazingly, none of the surrounding buildings where harmed by the explosion. There was no evidence of who had done this since there were no survivors.

Meanwhile, at the field on top of the Yondaime's head, two people were washing their clothes in a stream, trying their best to remove all the blood that had soaked into it.

"Hey, what's your name? I would like to know the name of the cute girl that I saved."

"Ano…its Hinata, Hinata Hyuuga. Ano…are those real?"

Hinata had been watching them for some time and she needed to know if they were real. What was she referring to? Why the nine red with blond tips fox tails and the two similarly colored fox ears that Naruto now had on his body.

"Oh these? Yeah, I guess they are real, I mean I can feel stuff that they touch."

"Can I touch them?" Hinata asked shyly.

"Sure, I don't see why not…"

Hinata Eeeped with joy and pretty much tackled the boy and started rubbing his tails, not caring that both of them were currently naked. As soon as she started rubbing his tails, a deep rumbling noise came out from the base of Naruto's throat. Hearing this noise come from his throat caused him to blush deeply.

"You purr too? You're the best boy ever." Stated Hinata with joy, causing Naruto to blush even deeper. "I only wish that I could have tails like you. How did you even get them?" asked Hinata.

Naruto proceeded to tell Hinata of what happened in his mind and when he finished Hinata was looking at him with stars in her eyes.

"You made a deal with the great Kyuubi no Kitsune! But I guess if that is the only way to get tails then I will never get them." Hinata stated dejectedly.

Suddenly a voice spoke inside Naruto's head and said "Kit, tell her that there is another way for her to get tails. Ask if she is willing to be marked as your mate. That will transform her like I transformed you when I merged with you. I like this girl. She wasn't bothered at all by the slaughter that happened in front of her and she wants to have tails like you, without caring about the consequences of being seen with tails. She is definitely a keeper and that is the only reason I have brought this up to you. I will relay the drawbacks of doing this through you when you explain this to her." Said Kurama

"Hinata-chan, Kurama told me to tell you that there is another way to get tails, but it comes with drawbacks."

"There is! Please tell me about this other way!" demanded Hinata.

Naruto proceeded to explain the perks and drawbacks of being marked as a mate to a kitsune hanyou. With that done he said "I'll give you some time to-"

"I'll do it." Hinata said decisively.

"W-What?"

Hinata rolled her lavender eyes and said "I said that I'll do it. Mark me as your mate Naruto-kun. I will never meet another person like you and I want to be with you and like you forever."

"O-ok, if you say so…"

Naruto leaned down in front of Hinata and bit down into her soft flesh right above where her breast would develop. Naruto then injected a great deal of Kurama's chakra into her through the bite and stepped back. He watched in shock as a tattoo of a nine tailed fox was burned onto her skin surrounding the bite mark. Then both of their chakras exploded around them, with Naruto's being orange colored and Hinata's being lavender colored. Their bodies began to feel really weird all of a sudden and they were forced to shut their eyes. Then their chakra finally receded and they opened their eyes. They gasped at what they saw before them. They no longer saw their five year old bodies, and instead saw the bodies of their eighteen year old selves. Then their eighteen year old selves started producing what they produce best. Hormones. And lots of them. Feeling this they saw each other in a completely new light.

"Hina-chan"

"Ruto-kun"

They stepped up to each other and engaged in a very passionate kiss.

And done. That was a loooooong chapter for me and it took a while to write. (A/N about my ending notes from my future self: Not really.)

Anyways, people might complain that Hinata is very Ooc for a five year old girl. But I'm the author and this is how I made her. Remember, her shyness is just a mask, and I will explain the masks in the next chapter.

Slice N Dicer is out.
