What is a Hero?

Summery

What if Naruto truly meant what he said the day he became a Genin, He wants his name on the stone, what if he having met the fox years before was a true example of a trickster, One massive prank. This is the story of Naruto the kitsune ninja. Warning Naruto may seem overpowered, but then anyone with a massive fox sealed in him should be frightfully powerful, he will also be rather intelligent. I apologize in advance for any excessive fluff, and yes this will be a Naru/Hina pairing. It starts off the day before Team 7 sets out for the mission to the wave.

Chapter one

He finally had a decent mission, he was finally getting the chance to show his true power, his true might. In contrast to his reaction when Kakashi had informed him of the nature of the memorial stone he wasn't concerned about having his name added to it. In fact the thought of dying for his village for his home (no matter how much the majority of its residents hated him) struck a cord within our hero, after all shouldn't all loyal ninjas of Konoha desire to die for their village. Well he thought this is no time to ponder weather or not loyal ninjas should desire to die in battle for their village. This is time to pack for my first C class mission. "Hey brat what is so special about dying for this flee bitten hell hole" a large ominous voice rumbles from the recesses of our heroes mind. "Nothing you would understand butlicking bastard fox" replies the youth, "that was only one time you fool, is this after all the time and effort I have put into training your miserable self what I get, is this my thanks" "Fox I never said I wasn't thankful but honestly I'm not sure you a demon a creature of destruction would know about the desire to protect and preserve". "Kit you do realize that the people of this village would murder you in a heartbeat if they ever realized you were capable of such profound thought, I bet even that old man the hokage would sanction your execution if he knew how often we talk". "Listen fox I realize that why do you think I act like such a baka! Its not because I enjoy being put down I can tell you, do you actually think I would be so low as to really think that Sakura-bitch is someone I would choose to spend time with, or that Sasuke-teme is a worthy rival, or that Kakashi is a decent teacher!. Fox if you honestly think any of that then you are the baka" "Well at least I'm not to much of a coward to show not show the girl I have a crush on any affection" retorts the now visible giant fox. "leave Hinata-chan out of this, if I where to show her any affection I would be murdered by the Hyuga for trying to corrupt their heir, or Hiasha-teme would use it as an excuse to brand her with the caged bird seal" he finishes in a murmur. The fox looks at the 12 year old standing before him with a sunken look Kit if only they knew who your father was then the whole village would let you be, or perhaps its best that they don't, I'm sure there are many who would wish harm upon the Yondamies heir." Well im going to sleep wake me up if there is another assassination attempt Kyubi, though if we are lucky there will not be I could really use the sleep".

And with that the young blonde drifted off to his troubled sleep dreaming once more of the attacks he has suffered at the hands of people seeking to be heroes, if only they realized that true heroes are not made by destruction but protection.

The life of the Kyubis container sure is an interesting one especially when you are one Uzumaki Naruto.

As the birds called across Konoha Uzumaki Naruto was trying to complete the Jutsu Kyubi had showed him a few weeks before, some strange sphere thingy that Kyubi told him that Yondamie had created called the Rasengan. "KUSO!!" "bastard fox why cant I get this to work, I can get the water balloon to burst, I can then cause the rubber ball to explode like you told me to try, I can even keep it stable yet I cant get it to do the damage it should." "Perhaps Kit you Need to put much more chakra into it, after all we both know that your chakra control is only the level of a first year Academy student even though you do have more chakra than that damned raccoon so just try brute force". "ok then rotten bastard", "here goes, AHHH!" in his hand there was an orb of chakra about the size of a basket ball, wisps of chakra coming of it, Naruto then plunges it into a tree. BANG!!!! Naruto is amazed to find himself in a hole about 5 meters across and at least one deep. "whoops". "kit get out of there now before the Anbu come to investigate that explosion" after all there has not been a release of chakra that large since the time I attacked, I honestly shouldn't have decided he needed to learn that Jutsu after all if the only way he can use it is in that form he might acidently take out a house if he tries to use it in doors "kit your not to use that Jutsu until you aquire better control after all people may start asking questions if you leave big holes like that everywhere you go, and what how would you explain where you learned such a technique?" "alright fox but if I need it I'm using it" the blonde replies. "I guess I best be heading for the meeting place so we can go on our mission.

As Naruto was walking towards the village gates he heard the sound of sobbing and quickly walked towards the sound. He found Hinata on her knees tears flowing down her cheeks. Giving into the pull of his heart he walked up to her slowly and placed his arms around her from behind, all the while ignoring the catcalling and whistling of the Kyubi. While still holding her from behind he lifted her tenderly from the ground and into her ear he asked "Hinata why are you crying, what has caused you to hurt" Surprised at hearing Naruto's voice and with her thoughts going at a rapid pace Hinata replied with the truth "gomen Naruto-kun my father hit me, after complaining about my weakness" Naruto couldn't conceive why anyone would harm gentle Hinata, indeed all he wished to do at this moment was to annihilate that bastard Hiashi, Yet ever the wise one Kyubi spoke up "Kit should you assault the head of the Hyuga clan it will sign your death warrant, though you may be powerful, even you couldn't stand against the entire Shinobi force of Konoha and even if they didn't try to destroy you it would prove to them that you are much more intelligent than what you let on" "you mean to tell me you bastard-fox that I should let them harm MY Hinata. That I shouldn't destroy those who harm the people I love" "no Kit I mean that at this point it is unwise to do so" "ok fox ill do it your way" finished a disenchanted Naruto. Meanwhile Hinata had fallen asleep in his arms as he held her, so with great reluctance he took her to her sensei and departed before he was noticed.

An:

The theme of protection of others will be a big thing in this fic, self sacrifice will also be a reoccurring them. Also please excuse dialogue it isn't my best area, please read and review, though senseless flaming is not wanted, this naruto will be far more powerful and intelligent, probably what you would expect of a ninja with a very old and powerful fox as a teacher
