-Naruto-
.
Naruto is in the middle of switching the sugar and salt in every restaurant he can find (thank you Itachi-san for the inspiration!) when a foreboding tingle shoots down his spine. He's about to shrug it off to complete his escape, when his chakra in the wind screams and a dango stick sails past his head to embed itself in the wall beside him. Against his better judgment, Naruto freezes to see where it came from, only to be pinned by a very crazed and very scary purple-haired kunoichi.
For the first time since he was four, Naruto whimpers.

-Anko-

Anko isn't sure who the wise guy is, but whoever messed with her dango is going to pay. Anko tore out of the restaurant to follow the faint trail of chakra in the wind, to see a blond blur trying to get away. Quick as a whip, Anko whips out one of her dango sticks to skewer the brat. And somehow he dodged! The nerve of this punk!
Anko quickly gains on him, exhilarated by the chase. She tackles the brat against a wall, to see none other than Naruto, the resident troublemaker. Really, Anko should've guessed that. But a thought crosses her mind as she grins with the most toothy evil grin she can muster.
"Hey, kid, you wanna be my student?"
The kid stares for a second, blinks, and screams.
"HELL NO!"
And red chakra is everywhere.

-Naruto-
.
Naruto absolutely flies down the street, desperate to get away from the crazy fishnet lady. He doesn't know what he did to her, but he's sorry! He begs every god he's never believed in to save him from his purple-haired pursuer as he tears towards the woods and his (hopeful) escape.
"CALM DOWN! You're gonna get the old fossil on our case again!"
"EASY FOR YOU TO SAY, FURBALL! YOU'RE NOT THE ONE WITH A PSYCHO ON YOUR TAIL!"
"TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE, BRAT!"
"IS THAT WHY SHE WANTS ME AS A STUDENT?!"
"SHUT UP AND PAY ATTENTION!"
Naruto yelps as another handful of dango sticks fly past him. He ducks into an alleyway to disappear, but completely forgets to account for just how easy it is to track him by the sheer amount of chakra he's pouring out. He's about to try to find a place to hide when Pervy Sage, of all people, appears! Naruto does not need a pervert trying to touch his belly and traumatize him more, thank you very much! He's about to start screaming his lungs out at the perv when he catches a flash of purple hair just in time to leap away as far as he can.
It turns out that Naruto can leap pretty far when he's supported by Fuzzy's chakra. He's practically halfway to the monument, completely across the village from where he was.
"Stop calling me Fuzzy, you ungrateful brat! It's KURAMA!'
"SHUT UP! I'M ESCAPING!"
"Not radiating that much chakra, you're not! Shinobi are stupid, but they can track by chakra! You're practically screaming your location to the entire village!"
Naruto immediately shoves Kurama and his chakra as far down as he can, with Kurama's indignant scream echoing in his head afterwards. He takes off, weaving through alleyways and under market carts, suppressing as much chakra as he can the whole way. It's really hard; he's been putting at least a little chakra into every breath since the day he learned how to.
Naruto finds a small burrow under a tree root. He hides and transforms into a mouse to hole up in the burrow, suppressing his chakra as best as he could the whole time. The whole village is panicking from the familiar feeling of the Kyuubi's chakra pressing down on them, and Jiji is probably running all over the village to find him, but Naruto stays holed up in his little burrow for hours. Things have (somewhat) calmed down by nighttime, but Naruto doesn't feel safe getting out until the next morning. Even then he's cautious.
Naruto crawls out and shivers. He is never going anywhere near that crazy purple-haired lady ever again, if he has anything to say about it.
Unfortunately for him, Anko doesn't share the same sentiment.
