The Change Of Kyuubi

Chapter 2

A/N: I got a review from a guest saying I had... Um... Bad english (I do not like to use foul language). Really, I'm not going to say I have good english, because I believe (hope) that guy is a native, but I would like for anyone to correct me if it really is bad. Give tips. I don't mind and will fix it immediately. Reviews such as this one I will simply ignore.

Thank you for reading this and I'm sorry if I have offended anyone.

After about 20 bowls of ramen each Uzumaki's had, they left the Ichiraku's and went to the hotel the Hokage had asked them to stay in and slept all the way until the fatidic moment an Anbu came into their rooms and requested their presence to the Hokage's office.

Naruto woke with a slight shake to his shoulder. Opening his eyes and controlling himself not to attack the awaker. 'Naruto, remember: no killing yet' He told himself.

"Damn you! Get out!" He heard Sayomi yell with an animalistic growl at the end. Not having any time to even blink, he ran to Sayomi's room as fast as he could, where she was holding the cat-masked Anbu by her neck. She was not used to controlling her anger... And apparently did not remember the first rule they had debated over: no killing.

"Sayomi! No!" She looked at him and he saw her eyes in a deep red colour. "No killing!" He repeated and she frowned. It clearly wasn't working. "Drop him, NOW! He yelled the last part, his own eyes turning red from the fox inside him.

For a moment, the Anbu seemed afraid of both teenagers, but as Sayomi's hold on her became lighter until she fell to the ground with a loud thud, the fear also seemed to reduce. 'Cat' looked up as soon as she reached the ground, looking at the silent conversation between the two red-eyed, fear building up and worsening her already heavy breathing.

Slowly, but steadily their eyes faded from the red to their normal colour. And, as the process was completed, Sayomi cut the heavy atmosphere with few and surprisingly warm words: "Okay! Let's go see the Hokage!"

And no one dared to waste a second thinking and followed her silently.

"Hokage-sama, Naruto and Sayomi Uzumaki are here as you requsted." The Anbu earlier hung by the neck by Sayomi was now standing straight and with her emotions incredibly well-hidden as if the body belonged to a robot. They both found it really funny and Naruto even let out a chuckle.

"Send them in, please." Tsunade answered as cold as the Anbu, but when she saw the young ninja's face she smiled in a rather mother-like way. Naruto was just like a son to her, even though he had never actually had the time to form a bond. However, behind her smile she felt also some sadness. She had lost all the boy's childhood, probably a bad one. She could have been there with him, but her selfishness and fear had blinded her...

"It's okay, Baa-chan." Naruto, surprisingly, interrupted her thoughts. Did he know what she was thinking? Snapping out of her trance, she continued, though still wondering how he knew what to say.

"Naruto, as you had been gone for 3 years, you have been considered dead by our laws and, because of that, you have lost your title as gennin and all of your belongings. Of course we can get them back for you, but we will need to make some tests, council's orders." She said. The last part wasn't exactly to her liking, but most certainly not for her to decide, unfortunately.

"What! But we-" Sayomi bursted up, only to be interrupted before she could raise any suspicion.

"Come on! Just some tests, nee-chan! It won't hurt! There won't be any needles!" Naruto said. Then he stopped. "Right?" Then he looked at Tsunade for confirmation, as if he was sure the answer would be a no.

"Well, actually..." She replied, uncertain about what would happen. She imagined the young woman in front of her would run, but instead it was Naruto who ran.

"That scaredy-cat..." Sayomi sighted. "Don't worry, Tsunade-sama, I will get him back and you will be able to run the exams." And she also ran off.

'Kids those days... Can't understand them...'

-About 4 hours of looking for Naruto later-

"Hokage-sama, the Sayomi Uzumaki is back with Naruto Uzumaki". Another Anbu came in. "Send them in..." 'Finally!'

To her surprise, Sayomi came in carrying a knocked-out Naruto, smiling as if she had just seen a unicorn. "Here he is." And she dropped him to the ground without a care in the world. It almost seemed normal…

"Thank you... But shouldn't you be a bit more careful when dropping him, you know, on the ground? And what happened to him?"

"What do you mean?" She answered, bowing her head to one side questionably.

"Nothing..." No, she would never understand them. "Well, firstly we have the ordinary tests: blood, mind, etc. Then we will have to check your chakra flow and, finally, your abilities."

"All right. But, may I ask, who will be evaluating us?" Sayomi asked, lifting her brother off the ground.

"Me (for ordinary, medical tests) , Ibiki Morino (for mental instabilities) , Sakura Haruno (for brute strength), Sasuke Uchiha..." Sayomi grinned, the grin unnoticed. "…(for genjutsu endurance), Kakashi Hatake (for ninjutsu) and Hinata Hyuuga (for your chakra-flow examinations, considering Naruto's situation). You are aware of his situation, right?"

"Yes, I am fully aware. Is it necessary for all of those examiners?"

"It is, I am afraid."

"I understand. May I leave?" She asked, already walking towards the window.

"Yes, you may. But remember to come back by 3:00PM. And, as you are Naruto's friend, I feel the need to state this clearly: not one second late."

"Yup." And she jumped out of the window. 'An Uzumaki indeed'.

Naruto had woken up a few minutes after the meeting with Tsunade. He was definitely pissed with Sayomi for knocking him out and was pouting just like a baby.

"I said: I'm sorry! It was the only way for you to come with me!" No matter what she said, he would not listen. As rock-headed as always.

They were walking down the main road of Konoha when a little brat came up to them. He had a long, blue scarf around his neck, so long it reached his feet, brown messy hair, also brown eyes and a gennin hitai-yate on his forehead. He looked a bit like Naruto when he was younger.

"Naruto!" He jumped on him and began crying loudly. 'In fact, exactly like him' Sayomi thought. "I thought you had died! I had to keep training with that huge pervert and I missed you!"

Naruto's reaction was funny, actually. He just stood there, leaving the brat hang from his neck without moving an inch, his eyes wide in surprise. "Konohamaru?" He asked.

"Yes! That's me!"

"No, no... You can't possibly be him. The Konohamaru I know is small and very bratty." He shook his head, making Konohamaru look down.

"You were also a kid when I last saw you..." He spoke lowly, moving his left foot on the process as if he was embarrassed.

"Oh, my god! It really is you! You grew!" That was enough to make the boy happy. His eternal rival had acknowledged him! Even though it took a while…

"Hey, Naruto... Who's this?" He pointed at Sayomi. "Is she your girlfriend?"

"Not again... You're not seriously asking me that again? Remember last time? You got me into some serious trouble with Sakura!"

"But, is she!?"

"NO!"

"Naruto, sorry to interrupt, but... It is 3:00PM."

"No! No-no-no! No needles!"

"Oh, come on you two… Let's go!"

'Thump'

And they both walked to the Hokage's office once again. Well, Sayomi walked. Naruto was dragged, unconscious again.

"You two..?" Konohamaru wondered, seeing the teens walk away.
