*Hello everyone! Here is the next chapter in this story! I heard from the great reviews you sent me that you are confused why I was insistent on using animals as representatives on each of the twelve kingdoms. Let's review the animals I used:

Fox

Hare

Hawk

Mouse

Dog

Falcon

Deer

Monkey

Panda

Sparrow

Armadillo

Grasshopper

I choose this list because respectably, Naruto is clever and unpredictable like a fox, Hinata is gentle and kind like a hare, Sasuke is stoic and a real hunter like a hawk, Sakura is meek and loud for attention like a mouse, Kiba is loyal and fierce for his comrades like a dog, Ino seeks information like a falcon, Shikamaru is lazy and cool like a deer, Lee is energetic and care-free like a monkey, Tenten calm and straight-going like a panda, Neji is deadly and cunning like a Sparrow, Choji is tough yet soft-hearted like an Armadillo, and finally Shino is quiet and level-headed like a grasshopper.

These are my reasons for selecting these animals so if you don't agree, then too bad. If you do like it, then you and me both win; I get to keep making more chapters and you get to enjoy the story more. Still, we will always know when the big day happens; see you there and until then, enjoy this chapter!

Previously on The King of Foxes and Queen of Hares,

Everyone looked again and noticed a pair of doors indeed. They were of a regal design and seem to have many animal pictures all over and the handles were like door knockers and huge ones at that. Then, the Rookie Ten saw the doors open to reveal ten animals looking into the room.

Starting from the far left, there was a hawk, a mouse, a dog, a falcon, a deer, a monkey, a panda, a sparrow, an armadillo and a grasshopper (couldn't find an animal to fit Shino). They then got on their feet and bowed,

{Welcome great rulers! Brothers and Sister of the King of Foxes, Naruto Uzumaki, and the Queen of Hares, Hinata Uzumaki!} They all proclaimed that left the Rookies in complete silence until this one was addressed. {And fellow royalty under the rule of the King of Kings!}

Silence reign supreme in the bedroom as the twenty souls just stayed where they are and not make a peep. Still, one of them had a good mark for a ruler,

"We're sorry; you must have the wrong people. We are just kids who don't know how to be king or queen." Tenten (1) said in pure humbleness, "And we don't know any...King of Kings. Who is he?"

{He is also known as the Fox King but since he has the skill and influence to rule above all else, he was given the title of King of Kings.} The grasshopper answered in a tone that only heard from a member of the Aburame Clan.

"King of Foxes? What kind of title is that?" Kiba voiced his own confusion yet the speaking beings didn't falter,

{Of course, we promise that everything will be explained. Please, allow us to get you properly dressed and show you the way to the Room of Thrones.} The dog said and the other animals plus insect joined him in directing the Rookies out of the bed and presented them the wardrobe available which had enough dresses for a whole village to wear; the girls couldn't be happier with all those fancy and beautiful dresses to try out and show off to the boys.

Sooner or later though, everyone including the girls were all set and were guided down a white hallway to what looks like a huge door. It has the carvings of animals plus the mantis in various ways, like to tell the many ways in which they act in their daily lives. What is on the other side? That was the question running through their heads.

"You brought us here just to look at a door? What kind of joke is this?" Kiba said impatiently that no one else could argue with. They did feel a little cheated when these talking animals took them to see a door.

{I assure you Sires.} The Panda took a turn to speak, {Your time of the moment was not wasted as we are where we said to be. Our King wanted us to take you inside.} So, the animals approached the door and opened it to reveal the throne room and the two rulers who were already sitting in there.

"Naruto!?"

"Hinata!?"

End of Chapter 3

*And there you have it! How do you think things will go once the Rookies finally become fellow rulers? Will they be able to accept their new burdens? Find out!

Sorry it is so short but it was necessary to keep the story going. I will do my best to make my chapters longer. Send me what you think and I will see if I can make it work. Have a nice day!*

1. I was going to have Sakura to say that but having character change this early in the story ruins the fun for everyone who reads it; I am still learning the ropes.
