A/N I do not own naruto masashi kishimoto does. Please do not sue me.
As Naruto fully regained consciousness and saw the newly formed bade beside him his question of hew in the world the fang was a sword was answered. Then he saw two of the people in the village who didn't treat him like crap and smiled his classic foxy grin.
"Whats up guys?" he inquired of his de facto family and was immediately was bombarded by a thousand questions he didn't know how to answer. He shrugged through the standard 'who did this to you' by Sarutobi and the classic facepalm when both Kakashi and Sarutobi remembered the date.
"We're idiots aren't we Naruto?"inquired the current hokage. It was apparent on his face that he was doing all he could to look out for the blonde haired kid but to be honest he was pushing one hundred years old, it probably wouldn't be that bad but all that damn paperwork aged him another hundred years or so, so he felt more like twice his age.
The blonde shook his head sadly as he stated "It's not your fault jiji and it's not even the fault of the Kyuubi, it's the villagers who don't understand the difference between the container and the contained." Both the hokage and the one eyed jonin were shocked at the level of maturity that the kid was displaying that they both realized, perhaps for the first time, that the child in front of them truly did have what it took to become the Hokage.
Later that evening after naruto's release from the hospital.
"geez you'd think that you could at least take it easy on me kyuubi-sensei." Asked naruto as he was once again knocked back by the now humanoid demon fox in his mindscape.
"It's not my fault if you can't even wield my tooth correctly." Remarked the fox, while simultaneously thinking to itself 'damn that was way too close how the hell is he this good already' "ready kit" he asked the blonde who was currently doubled over coughing and trying to regain his breath.
"Just a minute Fox –sensei" replied the host as he once again hoisted the sword into his odd looking starting position, "I've almost got the beginning stance down."
'to think he's come this far in the Hiten mitsurugi ryu already' the fox thought to its self 'he just might be able to master it' he licked his lips in anticipation for the first true technique that he would teach the boy the 'hi ryu sen'.
