AN: This is a rewrite of this chapter; the name and most of the chapter is the same but with a different direction of where it will go. Anything after this chapter will be 100% different; thanks for the great reviews and help for giving me ideas to rewrite these last couple chapters. The poll was tied so I had to make a difficult choice; after consideration I decided that the rewrite would help the story progress better. Thanks to all who Pm'd me with ideas on where to go with this.

Chapter 4: ANBU Won't Save You

It was a grey and rainy day in Konoha, and there was a somber attitude in the air due to the funeral that Ino and Neji received. The Konoha seven's mental trauma continued and there seemed to be no end to it in sight. One person in particular was worse than the others; that person was Sasuke Uchiha.

"Why Kami, why do you have to make my life a living hell. I make friends and you have to bring Kitsune back from the dead and make him take everything I worked for away. I just want this nightmare to end."

As the Konoha 7 was walking back to their homes, two people decided to get a little closer.

"Hey Hinata"

"Yes Kiba"

"I was wondering if you would like have lunch on the Hokage Monument, you know like a date." Kiba says with Akamaru yipping in the background

"Well we have gotten close over the past year so I guess it cannot hurt. I would like to see the sunset though, so can it be a dinner date?" Hinata says kissing Kiba's cheek

Kiba blushes and says: "Sure Hinata-hime, we can do that. Meet you at the Monument at five." He kisses Hinata in the cheek as well before both leave to get ready for tonight.

Walking back to their respective homes, both started to think back to when it all began, to when they first got together.

Flashback – One year ago

Hinata is currently sitting on Naruto's favorite stool at Ichiraku Ramen and enjoying a hot bowl of miso ramen. At this time Kiba is walking around Konoha and sees Hinata sitting all by her lonesome at Naruto's favorite Ramen stand.

"Man, Hinata has not been the same since Naruto died. She is now a strong kunoichi that strikes fear into anyone that disses her Naruto-kun. I better see how she is doing." Kiba thinks walking toward the stand and sitting next to Hinata.

"Hello welcome to Ichiraku Ramen, what can I get for you?" Ayame says

"One pork ramen please" says Kiba while Ayame scribbles the order on a piece of paper and gives it to Teuchi.

After five minutes of silence, Kiba gets the courage to talk to Hinata: "Hey Hinata, how are you doing. I noticed you were sitting on Naruto's favorite stool."

Hinata looks at Kiba with a "what the fuck" look but speaks anyway. "Doing fine Kiba, but what do you care about Naruto; you were always mean to him in the academy."

Kiba flinches at that knowing it was true but after Naruto died he saw that he was completely wrong about his view on him and prayed to Kami on an almost nightly basis hoping Naruto heard his apologies.

"*Sigh* Hinata, ever since Naruto died I have seen the injustice I gave to him; he never deserved any of what I gave to him as the villagers hated him enough for his burden." Kiba says with deep regret

Hinata looks at Kiba with worry and after Kiba thanks Ayame for his meal, she speaks up. "Apology accepted Kiba. I am happy to know that you have changed your ways, but I do not think anyone can replace my Naruto-Kun."

Kiba takes a few bites of his ramen and says: "I know that Hinata, but if you like I can try."

Hinata blushes: "Are you asking me out on a date? Really Kiba, do you even think you can get remotely close to the most unpredictable ninja that Konoha had?"

"No I cannot," Hinata bows he head in sadness but Kiba uses his pointer finger to lift her chin "but I can always hope so as he was a role model for most future ninja here in Konoha." He finishes with a peck on Hinata's cheek making Hinata go beet red.

After a few minutes and more eating of Naruto's favorite meal Hinata says with happiness, "Well, if that is the case then you pass my test and would be happy to go out with you Kiba-Kun." She pays for her meal and pecks Kiba on the cheek before leaving. Of course this leaves a blushing Kiba and a laughing Ayame and Teuchi.

"I actually got a date with Hinata? No, that cannot be I must be dreaming." Kiba pinches himself "OUCH, nope not dreaming!"

After a few minutes, Kiba pays for his meal and runs off screaming in victory for all of Konoha to hear.

Flashback end

At the Hokage Tower, Hokage Office

Sarutobi was currently sitting at his desk taking a break from paperwork and musing over the recent deaths of the Konoha 11 which is now only 7.

"I have to find out whom or what is doing these killings. It is tearing Konoha apart mentally; the villagers are in fear and do not go out at night and ninja enrollment is at an all-time low due to the fear this thing is creating. I hope Sasuke's suspicions are not true."

He decides that the paperwork can wait a while and asks for ANBU to bring the reports of the recent deaths of the Konoha 11 and the two civilians.

"ANBU, I want all the files on the Konoha 11 and the two civilian's deaths and bring them here. I want to get to the bottom of this problem before the village descends further into darkness."

"Yes sir!" an ANBU in a cat mask says

Sarutobi walks to the window overlooking Konoha and sighs deeply. He takes out his pipe, packs tobacco into it, lights it and drags deeply. "I really hope what I find out is not my greatest fear."

Time-skip 5pm Hokage Monument

Hinata and Kiba are on top of the monument sitting on a blanket with a picnic basket in-between them filled with sandwiches, snacks, and drinks. Little do they know that there is someone else watching them then the ANBU assigned to them.

"*SNIFF SNIFF* hmm so we have Kiba and Hinata on the Yondaime's head and also…dammit, two ANBU in the tree near them; no worries though, they think ANBU can save them? They thought wrong hehehe. I will return to my two little victims later." Naruto walks off the monument and proceeds to the ANBU headquarters to create as much chaos as possible.

Hinata starts to pass out food and drinks for herself and Kiba and they begin to eat in relative silence.

"Don't you think it's kinda weird having ANBU watching over us while we date. Invasion of our space if you ask me." Kiba says

Hinata giggles and replies: I know but what can you do with a killer on the loose and four of our friends already gone. It was a smart move by the Hokage if you ask me; it takes a lot of mental strain off."

"I guess your right Hinata-hime." Kiba says then kisses Hinata on the lips which turns into both tongues fighting each other. The couple breaks apart and takes deep breaths.

"Sorry" Kiba says

"I love it how Kiba thinks he loves me; I am just playing him for a fool, an act if you will. Nobody and I mean nobody replaces Naruto-kun." Hinata thinks

"Ah, young love. It is a beautiful thing." One of the ANBU watching the two thinks

"I feel like a fucking pervert." Thinks the other ANBU

Another 10 minutes goes by with conversation going between Kiba and Hinata and at one point they started to get a little frisky.

"Not here Kiba there are too many witnesses. My dad would kill me if we heard us doing the deed." Hinata says

Kiba blushes and says: "My mom is out with Hana so my home is free reign; so whadda you say?"

Before Hinata can reply the ANBU walk towards them.

"Something you need ANBU-san?" said Hinata

"Yes, you need to go to a safe location as we are needed at the ANBU HQ, something has happened there."

"OK that is fine, Hinata let's pack up and head to my place." Kiba says and Hinata nods and starts to pack up from their date; the ANBU leave for HQ.

ANBU Headquarters (HQ) – 20 minutes earlier

Naruto is currently hidden in the shadows near the entrance of the base and sees two guards only but can only fathom how many are inside. He double checks his gear:

"Machete…check, Kunai and ninja wire…check, soon to have a good time…hehe CHECK!"

Naruto pulls out two kunai and throws them which, not surprisingly, the guards dodge. This was only a distraction though as they found themselves without a head before they could react making blood spray over the door and walls of the entrance. Kitsune (Naruto) now enters ANBU HQ hell bent on destruction.

"Who the hell are you? Are you a new ANBU or something cause I have not seen you around before." Says an ANBU in a dog mask seeing Kitsune enter the base.

Kitsune cocks his head to the right, unsheathes his machete and lunges towards the ANBU. Dog dodges the blade that was going to bisect him and he backpedals and purposely trips to set off the alarm in the HQ; red light and loud horns soon permeate the walls drowning out the massive roar of ANBU running to the scene.

"More fun for me…the more the merrier!" Naruto thinks as he stabs the unsuspecting Dog in the stomach and making the machete rip downwards gutting him.

Kitsune reaches into the now gaping and heavily bleeding wound and pulls out Dog's intestines thus ending his life. He waits until the ANBU see him and he throws them in their direction; the intestines land with a *SPLECH* right in front of the group.

"Goddam son of a bitch!" Cat says

"Fuck man that is just nasty!" says Bird

The captain of the group is unaffected and screams out: "ATTACK!"

The ANBU rushes forward with a resounding battle shout unsheathing their katana. Kitsune calmly takes out two kunai and wraps ninja wire around both handles making a garrote; Kitsune sheaths his machete and rushes forward.

The first ANBU he runs into he wraps the wire around the man's hand with the katana and pulls downward making him fall to the ground face first; Kitsune stomps his head making brain matter and blood go everywhere also making a small crater in the ground. Kitsune ducks under one slash, jumps over another and backflips over another trying a back-stab. The ANBU soon finds the garrote wrapped around her neck and then blackness overcomes her as Kitsune pulls taught taking her head off making the blood fountain from her neck hole. It was at this point Kitsune is stabbed through his chest area by 10 ANBU; all missing his heart by inches.

"Hehehe that tickled; if they want to play dirty, so can I" Kitsune thinks as he slams his fists down on each katana blade breaking them all in half; the ANBU stumble backward in awe of what just happened.

Kitsune summons 50 clones of himself without using a seal; and commands them mentally to clear out the base but leave one alive, severely wounded but alive.

"Since when does this fucker know the shadow clone jutsu and how is this fucker still standing after we RAN 10 SWORDS THROUGH HIM!" Says an irate ANBU

"Hell if I know, ATTACK!" says the captain thus the battle starts again

The clones and Kitsune unsheathe their machetes and get to business systematically cutting down each ANBU making blood cover the walls, ceiling, floor and just about everywhere. 10 minutes later every ANBU is dead except the captain; body parts are strewn around the base. There is an arm here, a leg there, bisected bodies everywhere and a few missing their head; death toll is well over 200. How did the captain fair in all of this? He is missing both arms and is bleeding out but manages to hobble out of the base and tries to get the Hokage Tower before he dies. Total time to clear the base and make a red river flow through it; 20 minutes.

"Now, onto my two little victims but where can they be hiding? Hmm, come out come out wherever you are…HAHAHA!"

Kiba's home, bedroom

"Kiba, I do not want to go to the next level just yet…it just does not feel right." Hinata says pushing Kiba off her body

"Don't tell me you still love Naruto…he is dead Hinata, D-E-A-D! Now get in bed like a good bitch and fuck me!" Kiba says

A resounding slap is heard in the bedroom: "Don't you dare speak about Naruto-kun like that! He was the most charming individual in the entire village and nobody can replace him…not even you!" Hinata yells in disgust "Now, if you excuse me I am getting a shower." She walks out of the room unaware of the other person watching the interaction

"Man, Hinata has got courage…and stronger since my supposed death. What is this warm feeling in my stomach…is…is this love?"Naruto thinks but soon squashes the idea from his mind "No, nobody can love a disfigured person like me."

Kitsune climbs into the bedroom silently and feels someone bite his leg and looks down with his glowing yellow eye.

"Fucking mutt thinks I am a chew toy…bah!"

Naruto picks Akamaru up by his neck with one hand and clamps his muzzle with the other. One quick jerk is all it took to snap Akamaru's neck killing him instantly. (Before PETA sues my ass or I get nasty reviews…I do not condone and/or support animal abuse. Thank you.)

"Akamaru…NOOOOO!"

Naruto snaps his head in the direction of the voice and unsheathes his machete and advances on Kiba but is halted by him screaming GATSUGA. Kiba gets on all fours and starts to spiral hitting Naruto and slamming him into the wall and buckling it; the machete is knocked from his hands. Kiba stops his jutsu and grabs the machete intent on ending the intruder's life here and now.

"You fucked with the wrong Shinobi…" Kiba starts but now sees the mask adorned on the intruder "…No, it can't be…you died in the Chunin Exams two years ago!" Kiba drops the machete and starts to backpedal toward the wall

Kitsune gets up from his downed position and starts to advance on Kiba yet again but is halted by a new person entering.

"What is going on here…Kitsune, no you are dead…you have to be!" Hinata says entering the room distracting Kitsune

"Now's my chance!" Kiba thinks "GATSUGA!" Kiba spins once again but this time Kitsune attempts to dodge but the jutsu hits the side of his face knocking off the mask

Kiba and Hinata gasp at the horribly disfigured face of Kitsune; one yellow cat like eye, the other an empty socket, deep gashes and severe burns adorn his face. One person in particular notices the very light, almost non-existent whisker like marks on the cheeks.

"Naruto?! Kitsune is actually Naruto; how…why…this makes no sense." Hinata thinks and sees Kitsune attempt to pick up his mask as well as Kiba going for the machete "I cannot let my Naruto-kun die; he may be a serial killer and heavily disfigured but he is still the Naruto I know and love."

Hinata leaps for the machete at the same time Kiba does but Hinata wins over knocking Kiba away with a juken strike to the stomach.

"Hinata, why are you saving this…this fucking monster! He killed our friends, Hinata; does this not mean anything to you?!" Kiba says panting heavily while Kitsune adorns his mask yet again and decides to continue to watch the event unfold

"If you knew what I know about Kitsune I think you would do what I am about to do…I am truly sorry for what I am about to do but you are about to harm the one I love." Hinata picks up the machete and stabs it through Kiba's neck

Choking on his blood, Kiba looks over to Kitsune, then Hinata with glossed over eyes and says his last words: "Naruto is Kitsune?"

"Hinata…you saved me. This warm feeling again; is this what love is, something I have not had since my mother?"

Hinata takes the machete out of Kiba's neck letting his body fall to the floor in a heap; blood starts to pool around his body. Hinata goes over towards Naruto and hands him his machete which he graciously accepts; what happens next shocks Naruto/Kitsune. Hinata lifts up his mask slightly and kisses him on the lips.

"No matter what you have become…I still love you more than anyone in the world Naruto-kun. We will meet sometime again I guarantee it but do not worry, your secret is safe with me." Hinata says replacing Naruto's mask and leaving the residence

"Hinata…" Naruto thinks sheathing his machete and going back to the cottage to try and meditate on what just happened tonight.

Hokage Tower

Sarutobi decided to take a break from investigating into the manner of the deaths about an hour ago and decided to finish up paperwork; just as he was about to finish, he was interrupted by an armless ANBU barge into his office and collapsing on the floor bleeding out. Sarutobi quickly jumps from his desk to comfort the ANBU in his time of death.

"I know this is your final days in this world ANBU-san but before you go can you please tell me what happened and how you became injured?"

"Machete…cannot be killed…super strength…clones…" The ANBU tries to finish but his breaths become shorter and shorter

"What do you mean by all of this…where are the other ANBU?"

"HQ destroyed…no hope left." The ANBU takes his last breath and dies in Sarutobi's arms

"*sigh* This situation gets worse and worse; the machete and super strength I have seen before in an individual but I cannot place it for some odd reason." Sarutobi ponders "I need to take the day off tomorrow to sort out this mess." Sarutobi leaves a note on the secretary's desk saying that he will not be available tomorrow and goes back to his office to deal with the ANBU.
