Here is chapter three! Enjoy!


Three Years Later

Three teenagers are running through the trees in the forest. One is a girl with long, bluish-black hair that reaches her waist and has lavender pupil-less eyes. She is wearing a lavender shirt that on the left side is sleeveless, while on the right has a long sleeve that overflows her hand along with lavender capris with a strip of purple down the legs. She has on blue ninja sandals, a purple, fingerless glove on her left hand and a black clothed headband. Beside her is a guy with spiky, brown hair in a ponytail that looks like a pineapple, with brown eyes. He is wearing a black t-shirt with a Chunin vest on over it along with brown pants and blue ninja sandals. Beside him is another girl with short, pink hair that goes to her mid-neck. She is wearing a red halter top that ties behind her neck and stops right above her belly button along with a short, red miniskirt and blue ninja sandals. They talk among themselves as they jump from tree to tree.

"Man, I can't wait to get back to the village." The guy says.

"Yeah. I just want to rest for a little while." The blue haired girl says, her voice softer.

"Knowing my luck, Lady Tsunade will probably have something else for me to do." The pink haired girl says.

"Sakura, Hinata. You guys hear that?" the guy asks. They listen for a minute but they don't hear anything, not even a bird. They look at each other and nod. They each draw kunai out and land on the forest floor.

"What do you think is going on, Shikamaru?" Sakura whispers.

"I'm not sure. Just stay on your guard." He whispers back. The girls nod their heads as they walk carefully, looking around. All of a sudden three guys appear and smile as one of them says:

"Well lookie here at what we walked upon."

"Three lost, little ninja." Another says. They all have on a brown shirt, black pants, and blue ninja sandals. But one guy, has brown hair that goes to his jaw, while another one has brownish-blond hair that goes to his shoulders, and the last one has black, spiky hair that goes to his mid-neck.

"We aren't lost. We just want to get back to our village. We don't want any trouble." Shikamaru says. They smile as the black haired guy says:

"That's too bad. Cause you just walked into trouble. This is our territory. And you are not supposed to be on it."

"Sorry, we didn't know. We'll just go around." Hinata says turning around just as another guy with green hair in a ponytail with some hanging down by his face comes out in front of her saying:

"Sorry, can't let you do that." Grinning. She looks back at the others as the green haired guy says:

"Hey, Jazis. I like this one. She's pretty."

"Naw, I like the pink haired one." The brown haired guy says.

"Well, I guess that settles it. We'll take the girls." The black haired guy says. The others grin as the three teenagers lift their kunai knives to their faces and get ready to fight. The green haired guy takes two steps toward Hinata as they hear:

"Leave them alone or die." They all look up as the other guys laugh and the black haired man says:

"Are we supposed to be afraid?"

"If you are smart, you would be. But then again after watching you guys for a few minutes, it seems to me that you are all just ignorant." The voice said again. He scowls and says:

"Why don't you come down here and say that to my face."

"Are you going to leave them alone?" the voice asks.

"No." he says back. They all listen for the voice to say something else, but hear absolutely nothing.

"What I thought. All talk and no action." The black haired guy says. The green haired guy just grins and looks back towards Hinata. He lifts his left foot up and a shuriken hits him right between the eyes. He looks up and then falls over, dead. The other three notice as the brown haired one says:

"What the he-"as another shuriken right hits him right between the eyes and he falls over dead. The other two back off a little as the black haired guy says:

"W-Who are you?" suddenly a guy drops in between the other two, stabs the brownish-blond haired guy in the heart, who drops dead, and then puts his kunai blade against the black haired guys throat.

"I warned you." he says as he cuts his throat and he drops dead. As the black haired guy drops to the ground the three teenagers take in his appearance. The guy is wearing a black, muscle shirt that has fishnet to his chest, a pair of black pants and black ninja sandals. He also has on black, fingerless gloves, a katana on the left side of this waist and a holder on the right, along with a shuriken holster on his right leg. He also has a long, black jacket that stops at his knees over his shirt. He has the hood pulled up with a piece of black fabric sewed in it, which comes up to a few inches below the eyes and is fastened around his neck. He quickly wipes off his kunai and puts it up. He then looks up at the others and stares at them for a minute which makes them nervous. They quickly go back into their fighting stances as he turns around and they see written in red the word: Kitsune and the kanji for fox on his back. He quickly disappears as the teenagers relax a little and the pink haired girl thinks 'OH MY GOD! Now I know why they call them muscle shirts. I've never seen anyone with as many muscles as he has. And so uniformed. I bet he has a six pack! ' Her inner Sakura was drooling and she checked, when no one was looking, to make sure it was just her inner self.

"Come on. We need to get back to Konoha." Shikamaru says. The other two nod as they jump back up into the trees.


'Dammit, I'm running low on supplies and money. I guess I have no choice, I have to go back to Konoha.' Kitsune thinks as he runs through the trees. 'I haven't been back there in three years. I just can't let them know who I really am.' He then thinks of a memory of why he left Konoha.

Flashback

He is standing in a clearing as he rushes forward and unleashes his justsu on his enemies. But his justsu backfires as he gets thrown backwards and hits a tree back first, with the tree bending where he hit. He falls to the ground as he struggles to get his breath. He sits up as he feels his ribs moving back into place and his wounds start healing. He feels his chakra level dangerously low as two ANBU appear in the clearing in front of him. He starts to lose consciousness as he hears:

"I wonder which monster did this."

He wakes up and notices he's in a room as he hears a door open. He turns his head and sees an older man, probably in his late forties walk in. He has on a gray shirt, with light brown pants and black sandals.

"About time you woke up." He says as he sits down beside the bed.

"How long have I been out?" Kitsune asks.

"About a week. You had some pretty serious injuries when I found you." the old man says.

"Where am I?" Kitsune asks after a few seconds.

"In the Rainfall Village." He says.

"Oh." Kitsune says as the last words he heard in the clearing comes back to him. 'I've had enough. I'm fed up with being treated that way. ' Kitsune thinks as the old man asks:

"So, what happened?" Kitsune sighs as he says:

"It's a long story."

"I've got time." The old man says. Kitsune sighs again as he tells the old man his story, from the start. As soon as he was done the old man whistles and says:

"Well ,you've certainly been through a lot. Where are you from?"

"Doesn't matter. I'll never go back." Kitsune replies.

"I see. Well, don't you worry. You're secret is safe with me. Now get some rest." The old man says as he stands up and walks towards the door.

"What's your name?" Kitsune asks.

"Kenza. And yours?" he says opening the door.

"Kitsune." He says after thinking it through.

"Thank you, Kenza." He says. The old man smiles as he says:

"After you heal up I want to show you something. Up to it?"

"Sure." Kitsune says. Kenza nods his head as he walks out of the room.

End Flashback

'Kenza was the one who started me traveling. After he taught about the gravity seal, I decided to go to other villages to see if any one was willing to pass down their teachings to others. I was lucky I met some people who did.' Kitsune thinks as he stops in front of the gates of the one place he swore he would never go. Konohakgure. As he stands there he takes a quick breath and he walks towards the gates. As he gets to them a guard steps in front of him and says:

"Wait a minute, buddy. State your business in Konoha." 'So he's still a guard.' he thinks as he says:

"I'm running low on supplies and money, so I thought I could stock up at the nearest village, this one." getting looks from the other guards. The guard he is talking to looks at him suspiciously as he asks:

"How are you going to get money?"

"I figured I would offer my services to the Hokage. And any one else who needs it." Kitsune says.

"What kind of services?" he asks.

"Sorry, but I would like to talk to your Hokage first. If my services are not required here then I will leave and go some where else." Kitsune says.

"Very well. I will escort you to the Hokage Tower." He says stepping aside, wanting to be behind him incase he tried something.

"Thank you." Kitsune says as he walks into the village. 'Nothing ever changes here. Even though the middle of the village was taken out, they rebuilt it exactly like before.' He thinks as he walks towards the tower getting all kinds of looks, but then again he's had worse. The crowd in front of him separates and makes a path.
