Behind Innocent Eyes

Trek

Last Time:

Kurenai frowned, "What do you mean?"

XXXXXXXXXX

Danzo poured out four cups of tea and set them out on the table in front of Naruto, Guren and Hiruzen, "So, Naruto, tell us what's going on?"

"It had better be serious or I'll be pissed that you called us at 4 in the fucking morning." Guren grumbled crankily as she snatched a tea from the platter being held in the old ninja's hand.

"Why am I on a four person team with team 8 and not on team 7 trying to annoy the hell out of Kakashi?" Naruto asked bluntly, too tired to bother with tact.

Guren seemed to suddenly become alert and glared at the stunned old ninjas, "We're supposed to be keeping Naruto's 'wandering demon' issue from getting out and you twats authorized him to be moved to a fucking team where two people can either see or analyze chakra and the third can smell foxes! Are you fucking mad?!"

Sarutobi whimpered in fear as he coward behind the only slightly less scared Danzo, "I didn't authorize any team changes! Don't crystallize my nuts again!"

"What?" Naruto blinked in disbelief, "Kurenai told me Kakashi agreed to this team change so are you saying they both went behind your back?"

"Honest! I knew nothing!" Sarutobi yelped in fear as Guren placed her hands together in a hand sign. "All I know is that Kurenai came hours ago asking for a team mission ... which, I guess, did seem weird ... she never came to pick up a mission without her team before.

"She didn't want you to see Naruto." Danzo concluded with a frown, "but why?"

"They want to investigate me." Naruto said bluntly and saw everyone looking at him in concern, "I don't know what happened, but after Kurenai's sudden protective rampage she went after Kakashi when she left your office .. something happened between them and now team 8 is trying to learn as much as possible, even where I live."

Guren winced, "Is Kurama still hidden? Last I saw him he was in heat."

Naruto nodded as he rubbed his eyes tiredly, "I was able to make them think my home was Konohamaru's apartment, but that wasn't easy. You see, Kurama was at the end of his heat."

You'd think two perverted old men would be less concerned about this and just ask for details on how Naruto was handling the fox, but both Danzo And Sarutobi looked concerned, "What happened?" Sarutobi asked seriously, knowing full well that the end of the heat was the most dangerous for a few reasons. One reason, of course, being that a powerful demon capable of destroying a village was running around in a horny state that will even drive a civilian so mad that something is going to be destroyed if they are not satisfied ... or even during the satisfaction. Many clones were destroyed during the time of heat ...

"He escaped the cottage and went after my clone who was preparing Konohamaru's apartment for team 8 ... he got a hold of Konohamaru, but I checked!" Naruto said quickly reassuring the hokage that his grandson was safe, "Kurama only physically touched Konohamaru for a brief minute. He was affected by the hormones, but not poisoned. He's resting at my place for now."

Sarutobi sighed in relief, "Don't misunderstand me, Naruto, but sometimes I wish you didn't release Kurama without talking to me first."

"I get it, but I was a kid and Kurama was in a lot of pain because of the seal. I didn't think to ask if there was any issues I should know about like a yearly heat season that can drive an all powerful demon insane if not tended to every single time or if the pheromones of a demon could have adverse effects for a human who didn't grow up exposed to demon chakra. Must've slipped my mind." Naruto muttered with a large dollop of sarcasm, "To be fair you two had no issue assigning guards to help Kurama until I became a ninja." Naruto commented knowing only a few trusted ROOT agents were used, but that both Sarutobi and Danzo picked from the ROOT agents.
