Fox In The Leaf

Friendly discussion

Everyone in the Hokage office were both tense and befuddled. Here was the Kyuubi (in their eyes) on the Hokage's desk tapping on the Hokage's hat that Hiruzen put down, with its paw like it was trying to figure it out. Around the room were an Anbu squad all with either kunai in their hands or ready to pull out their tantos and katanas.

Hiashi, who was called to pick up Hinata stood in front of her in a protective manner unsure of what to do, until he decided that it was time to leave before something happened "Hokage-sama, if you would permit, I believe it's time for me and my daughter to be on our way".

Hiruzen taking his eyes off the fox looked towards Hiashi "very well Hiashi-san you may go about your business...BUT!" turning serious, the Hokage stood from his chair and looked the Head of the Hyuga clan "You are to remain silent about this situation, should the people find out about this, there would be mass panic throughout the village...do you understand me?"

Hiashi in understanding bowed to the village leader "understood Hokage-Sama, and I will make sure that Hinata understands as well" with that Hinata bowed as well and they both left the office.

Sitting back don in his chair he looked at the fox once more couldn't help but chuckle as the fox was able to get underneath the hat and looked at the old man, and for a second he saw it again. A little blonde boy, wearing the hat looking at him with the same colored eyes saying "I'm going to be the best Hokage ever DATTEBAYO!" with the thought in his head he decided to take a "leap of faith", "Naruto-Kun? is it still you?" the fox just tilted its head not understanding what the human said but wagged its tail a bit. Depressed in realizing that the fox didn't know what he said another thought came to mind when he saw the slightly wagging tail. Pressing the button on the intercom on his desk he called his secretary

"yes Hokage-sama how may I help you?" a female voice was heard over the intercom

"Yes, please send for Inoichi Yamanaka for me please and tell him to come to my office and that it is urgent"

"yes, sir!"

One of the Anbu not getting what the Hokage was planning decided to ask "Sir, why do you want Yamanaka-sama to come here?".

Pulling out his pipe and lighting it with a small bit of fire Jutsu he turned his chair sideways and turned his to look out onto the village "I'm taking a major leap of faith in possibly getting Naruto-kun back."

~30 minutes later~

Inoichi walked into the Hokage office "Hokage-Sama what can I d….." he halted in his greeting when his eyes landed on the fox sleeping on the desk and its 2 tails twitching as it sleeps

"ah Inoichi-san, I'm glad that you got here so soon, I have a task that only you would be able to accomplish," the Hokage said as he looked at the Yamanaka jonin

Knocked out of his stupor Inoichi asks "what would that task be Hokage-sama?" while still eyeing the fox a bit

"I would like you to dive into the mind of this little fox you see before you," he said as if it was a normal request

Thinking this to be a joke Inoichi couldn't help but chuckle a bit "Sir, you must be joking, to ask me to use my clans jutsu to enter the mind of this….two….tailed fox" pausing for a second and a thought finally clicking in his head, he looks at the Hokage "Sir is that the Kyuubi?"

Hiruzen hearing this gets up and does a few hand signs and places his hand on the wall, sealing the room in a privacy seal. "What I am asking you to do is see if you can find Naruto in there and if possible bring him out"

"but Hokage-sama it's much too dangerous to do something like that! You don't even know if he is in there! His mind could have been taken over by the Kyuubi". Inoichi told the old man thinking this was a horrible idea.
