Hello and merry Christmas you bunch of degenerates I hope your having a badass Christmas day and I'm here once again to add another chapter to my second most popular story. BTW just letting you know I have a multitude of friends who are going to help me out on my stories as consultants. Dakota my lesbian friend who is into Romance and comedy, George my next door neighbor who is into horror and gothic themes, a south Korean immigrant who was a former gang member in the 1960' and 1970's in Korea who will give me advice on a Gangster Naruto story I got in the works. But enough of that back to it.

Fox Creek: Chapter 8

Konoha hospital 8 hours after finding Tsume Inuzuka

Hiashi Hyuga was standing behind a two-way mirrorin the psychiatric ward of Konoha hospital as he looked through and felt his heart break at a sad sight. Tsume Inuzuka was restrained in a straight jacket and looking left and right searching for a unseen threat; the once proud Head of the Inuzuka clan was now reduced to a shaking broken mad woman.

Hiashi for how much he despised showing or sharing emotion loved her. She was there when his wife died, she was his closest confidant; a person he could trust to speak his mind and feelings to. What started out as a purely sexual relationship blossomed into something more; and now even when he tried to talk to her, she screamed and backed away, all the feelings and passion that was in her wild eyes now replaced by madness.

Hiashi clenched his fists as he knew who was responsible for her state and the death of her daughter Hana and their canine companions; Naruto Uzumaki. He had to bite his tongue at the council meeting as Hiruzen explained that it was the work of a possible serial killer as another report from miles outside Konoha came in of a civilian councilman Kizashi Haruno and his wife were killed in a brutal and horrific ambush.

'Damn fool of a Hokage' Hiashi thought as his fists clenched harder 'has he gone so senile that he can't see the evil that boy is. The Haruno's are most defiantly the work of a madman but can't he see that Tsume was elite jounin there's no way she could be killed that easily by someone like that' Hiashi thought. 'That Uzumaki boy must've found out of their slayings and staged the scene to throw off the authorities. Afterall no one would suspect a academy student of being capable of committing such horrible acts of violence' Hiashi thought as he went over angle in his head.

Hiashi then looked at Tsume once more and let a single tear fall 'I will kill that boy for what he did to you … my love' Hiashi thought as he walked out of the hospital back to his compound. Little did he know that 2 of his conclusions were wrong; Hiruzen did know who the killer was and Tsume and the Haruno's killer were one and the same.

3 days later. In the forest of death

Ranmaru was outside the cabin he lived in with Naruto skinning a deer to prepare for lunch. As he looked through the window he saw Naruto, Hiruzen, Inoichi, Kakashi and Danzo talking to Naruto most likely about what happened a few days ago when he was off at Moegi's birthday party. He was slightly saddened that he wasn't there to assist Naruto because he wanted to prove himself. Naruto however told him it was fine and even praised him in his laying of the landmines around the house.

He then remembered Naruto's exact words as he praised Ranmaru's handiwork 'You're learning well boy, you placed those mines perfectly. In a few more years you won't need little ol' me no more' Naruto said wiping an imaginary tear from his eye. Ranmaru then went back to skinning the deer as he awaited Naruto to be done with his meeting.

Inside the cabin

"Naruto are you sure Tsume and Hana attacked you because of kiba" Hiruzen asked the blonde boy.

"Yeah, I'm pretty damn sure, after all Kiba been having his eye on Hinata for so long that he probably wanted me gone and he'd swoop in and be Hinata's shoulder to cry on" Naruto said as he was 100 percent sure it was all Kiba's fault. After all Kiba said he couldn't understand how a princess like Hinata could love a redneck moron like him.

"What did you do to Tsume Naruto" Inoichi asked "when I tried to do a mind dive her mind was basically jello?"

"Oh that I pulled her into my mind and let the fox have fun with her" Naruto said making all the men look at him in shock.

"What do you mean" Danzo asked as he felt like he wouldn't like the answer.

"Well, me and the fox made a deal; he gives me heightened senses and raw strength and I give him a new toy every once and a while" Naruto explained as if it was no big deal.

"A new toy" Kakashi asked.

"Yeah, a toy that he can torture, rape, and play with you know" Naruto said which made all the men shiver. "All I asked that he do in return is block out the sound and don't let me see it. I'm not into that kind of thing" Naruto said.

"And how long was Tsume… with him" Hiruzen asked in curiosity.

"About 1 year. Which would be like a hour outside my mind" Naruto said which while scaring the men in the room also impressed them as the only other technique that could match it would be a genjutsu by Itachi with his sharingan.

"Ok Naruto" Kakashi spoke up "the village is still on high alert so keep clear until the heat dies down" he finished to which Naruto nodded in understanding.

"Right then understood" Naruto said as he got up "I'm going to go hunting any special requests?"

"Boar" Hiruzen said putting one of Naruto's homemade cigars in his mouth and began to smoke it.

"Quail" Inoichi said; he didn't think the boy was that big of a problem after all some of the Anbu he councils have sick minds too. Lizard collects fingers and dries them out, owl likes to bleach the skulls of her assassination targets so his hobby wasn't too outlandish. Besides he brings rare flowers from the forest to his shop for a quick buck helping him in getting orders done. The only problem he had with the boy was his light flirting with his daughter Ino who responds in kind; Inoichi has more than on one occasion caught him looking at her ass to which he quickly looks away acting like he was innocent.

"Giant Spider eggs" Danzo said as he has a taste from the eggs that Naruto gave to Sai as a gift from accompanying him on his previous mission.

"Hmm… I think I'll go with a carnivorous goat; I like mutton" Kakashi said in his usual lazy tone.

"Right then swing by tomorrow and pick up your orders" Naruto said as Inoichi, Danzo and Hiruzen vanished in a puff of smoke leaving only Kakashi." You ok Kakashi"Naruto asked in concern as Kakashi was the one who was training him and seemed to genuinely care about him.

"*sigh* I hoped that you wouldn't have to kill while inside the village but it seems that I hoped for too much" Kakashi said sounding dejected as his sensei's son no matter how much he tries can't stop killing be it for fun or for self-defense. He then felt a hand touch his shoulder and looked and saw Naruto looking at him with a genuine look of sympathy for the man.

"Don't worry Kakashi one day thing will change. After all I'm not the same bastard roaming around the country side killing folk; I'm still killing but it's for a better cause now. One day you'll come and visit me here and my kids will be happy to see their "Uncle Kashi"" Naruto said with a genuine 'I'm not going to gut you like a deer smile'.

Kakashi chuckled lightly and stood up "I'll be back tomorrow for that mutton at noon" Kakashi said before vanishing in a puff of smoke.

"Yeah, see you at 3… lazy bastard" Naruto said as he chuckled walking outside the cabin. "Ranmaru I'm going shopping get lunch ready I'll be back in 2 hours" Naruto said to the boy who just got started de- boning the deer to throw into the smoke house.

"Yes sir; happy hunting" Ranmaru said as Naruto created 3 clones and ran into the woods to get his gifts for his 4 favorite old people.

Konoha the next day

With Kiba

After the death of Hana and the institutionalization of Tsume, Kiba was kicked to the curb in his clan as a new head was installed and stripped him of his heir status. As he played with Akamaru in his new house which looked more like a shack in comparison he was angry. Angry at the world, angry at Konoha's police for not being able to find the killer and angry at Naruto Uzumaki.

Hinata had confided in Naruto that she was scared of the killer and Naruto being her night in orange flannel vowed to walk her home everyday and if he ever hears or see's the killer he'll take him out as he was sure the guy who did it was powerful and that he'd be a hell of a guy to fight,

Kiba scoffed at that; there was no way Naruto could defeat the guy who killed his sister, 4 Inuzuka dogs and mentally cripple his mother.

'I swear I'll kill that murdering motherfucker, get back my rights as heir and get Hinata to become my woman' Kiba thought darkly as he went back in to his shack.

With Sakura

Sakura Haruno was a very average girl; she had a family she loved, a boy she liked and a dream to have a family and a bright future. But now that was all stripped away, her parents were dead, the boy she liked Sasuke couldn't careless about her plight and her future looked bleak. As she made her way into the academy with a paper in her hand, she knew what she had to do. As she entered the class room form being gone for 4 days, she blocked out the sounds of the students and approached Iruka.

"Sakura? You aren't supposing to be back for another week" Iruka said as Sakura merely pushed the paper into his hands and walked out. Iruka then opened up the paper and was shocked from what it said.

'From this day forward, Sakura Haruno is hereby transferred to the Konoha police academy as a student. She is no longer required to attend Ninja academy classes and will have her academic points transferred immediately. Signed Akira Mitsubishi civilian council member and chief of the Konoha police force'. Iruka was stunnded; Sakura a police officer? With her academic grades and basic ninja training it shouldn't be more than 6 months until she's patrolling the streets.

Iruka was them bought out of his thought by a shouting Naruto to 'Hurry the fuck up and teach'. He sighed and began teaching still worrying about his former pink haired pupil.

Sakura was waling down the street back to her home as she was now focused on her new mission. had shown pity for the girl as he was close to her parents; so when he offered a spot to join the police force she took it on one condition, once she made detective she can hunt down the sick bastard who killed her parents, to which he immediately agreed as a person as sick as that doesn't deserve to run free.

Sakura entered her house as she went up stairs and flopped on her bed and looked up at the ceiling. 'No more kids stuff, no more heartless emo Sasuke, all that matters is that I bring my parents killer to justice' she said as she then reached under her bed and pulled out 2 case file copies. One of her parents and one of the Inuzuka murder and torture. 'There's no way it could be a coincidence. 2 violent killings, 50 miles apart, and with a one-day gap in between; unlikely' Sakura thought as she went over the case files again looking for something she may have over looked.

Naruto in all his ignorance has unintentionally created 3 enemies the clan head Hiashi Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka who was chasing a phantom that's right under his nose, and Sakura Haruno the brainiac girl who is determined to bring him in and lock him behind bars.

Another chapter the next one will be a time skip chapter. Hopefully you like it and please leave a comment I like to hear what y'all think about my work and it helps me become a better writer, so until next time merry Christmas and happy 2023.
