The Merciless Fox Child

Chapter 6: Secrets Unveiled

Chapter Six: Secrets Unveiled

 

Team 7 (minus naru-chan) stood at a loss of what to do. Kakashi contemplated sending them home—but decided against.

Instead, "Sasuke, Sakura, we're going to Hokage Tower, alright?"

"Uh, yes, sensei.

"Hn."

Kakashi sighed. "Off we go…" Kakashi began roof hopping while Sasuke and Sakura could barely keep up. Well, Sasuke was doing a lot better that Sakura. (HEY!) Anyway, they arrived at the scene to see two anbu chatting happily.

"Excuse me?"

Flashback

Panda, Howaitoraio, and Hyou were just standing idly chatting outside hokage tower when they saw Kitsune about to run past them.

"Hey, Cap'n!" Hyou called out.

Kitsune turned to him. :Hm? Oh, hey team. How's it going."

"Good." Said Howaitoraio stepping forward. "You?"

"Good, good. I'm about to receive a mission."

"Well, good luck. See ya."

"Catch ya late Cap'n"

Panda nodded.

"Kay, bye temperamental she-man, lazy psycho, mute panda eyes." After saying that, Kit quickly dashed into the building, narrowly dodging the weapons thrown at him. 'Whew, that was a close one. At least the villagers' torments did something good for me—I'm WAY better at dodging that anyone else in Konoha—or even the fire country! Not that I'm trying to brag—that's kinda hard to do when you're only thinking these things and the only one who would normally be hearing them is currently chasing bunnies…Yeah.'

Flashback: End

Panda, Howaitoraio, and Hyou turned around to see the new stranger—who wasn't a stranger at all! It was their late captain!

"Yo, old cap'n." said Hyou.

"I'm old, now? I'm hurt."

"Uh, sensei?"

That was when the three noticed the kids.

"Right, Sakura." He looked back at three. "Did any of you notice a kid running into the tower—perhaps with a fox?"

Sakura nodded and Sasuke 'Hn'ed.

"Only person we saw was Kitsune-taichou, but Kyuu wasn't with him."

Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura's eyes widened—Kakashi's only slightly, and Sasuke a little more. Sakura was strait out gaping. Did the girl have any control over her body?

Kakashi asked cautiously, as if stepping through a mine field, "Who is Kyuu?"

"He's cap'n's summon. You didn't know? I thought he was like famous or something."

"Famous?"

"Yeah, he's known as 'The Merciless Fox Child', cause, one, he never shows his opponents mercy. Guess it was just how he was trained. Anyway, two is that he bores the mask of a Kitsune. Third, he's only 11."

"Eleven?: said Sakura, shocked. "That's younger than us!"

"First of all, Sakura, show some respect. These three are anbu. Extremely high ranked ninja—just below sannin. Second, even I agree that eleven is too young,"

"Actually," said Hyou stepping closer, "we never said he was 11 when he joined. That;s just how old he is now."

"Then how old was he when he joined?"

"He was, at the time, six."

"SIX?" They all screamed. Kit took this moment to jump out of the Hokage's window and land right between the anbu and the rest of his genin team.

"Yo."

They almost fell out of the chairs.

Wait.

They don't have chairs… O-kay! Re-do.

They almost fell over. Kakashi and his team immediately recognized the similarities—the blond spikey hair, height, the fox wasn't here right now but had already confirmed that it had the same name and were both summons.

They realized, with emotions they could not describe, that Naruto was, indeed, an anbu.

He was not stupid.

Not naïve.

Not a gutsy idiot.

He was a genius. And he had fooled them.

Well, he did say he liked messing with people, didn't he?

But...he was not the Naruto Uzumaki they knew.

He was not Konoha's most unpredictable knucklehead ninja.

Who was he?

He was Kitsune, the Merciless Fox Chile.

An assassin.

A merciless killer.

But he was still a child.

Just not so naïve,

He must have realized when everyone thought he was just too stupid or naïve to realize.

He was not a stupid naïve child.

He was a poor, lonely child who had been forced to grow up too fast, one that had never understood love and saw things no child his age should have.

He was Naruto Uzumaki.

And all his life…

He had been alone…

But he wasn't naïve..

He knew it…

He kew how alone he was…

And he suffered…

Alone.
