A Fox, a Dog and a Raven
A/N: This fic starts at the beginning of Naruto Shippuuden. Events, skills and relationships change and there will be sex in numerous chapters between character or at the very least implied sex (For those of you who don't know that means you will be told the event took place but won't get any of the juicy details!) The first couple of chapters will remain fairly close to how the first couple of episodes went but will include the few changes I made to the story and characters before the story branches off in the direction I want to take it.
One of the major changes I'm going to mention here as it is a MAJOR change is that Sasuke never left to be with Orochimaru and is still in the Leaf Village.
A/N: At this point there will more than likely be F/F, F/M, M/M and various threesomes and orgies. (Depends on what mood I'm in. * Sinister cackle *) I will notify you about what is in each chapter so if any of it offends you you don't have to read it but please keep an open mind and remember people have been doing these things for thousands of years (Yes even man on man sex has been happening for thousands of years and its not a disease, its just sex, get used to it.)
Now without any more ranting on my part and with out further ado here is my fic.
Dean: "But what about me Master?"
"Oh Dean! Of course how silly of me. Everyone meet Dean my beta writer and my gorgeous pet, He is also pretty sexy."
Dean: * Blushes *
"Some of you may know him from his stories on this site as Dean the Cuddly Fox" * Pets Dean and scritches him behind the ear. *
Dean: "Mrrr."
"Hope you enjoy the story. Please leave a review other wise you might make Dean cry."
Dean: * Yips happily and wags his tail *
It was a gorgeous day, the sun was shining brightly high in the sky and there was barely a cloud in the sky. A cool refreshing breeze swept throw the trees keeping everyone cool. Walking along a surrounded by trees two people walked steadily towards their destination.
One of the travellers was a fifty something male with long spiky hair that came halfway down his back. He had red paint on his face making a thick red line coming down his cheeks from his eyes and wore a large red robe which he wore open over his other clothes which were green and wore wooden sandels on his feet and had a large scroll strapped across his back, his name was Jiraiya.
The other was blond haired teenager by the name of Naruto who wore an orange and black track suit and had the most intense blue eyes. He had a back pack and a sword strapped across his back.
After two years they had finally made it back to the village hidden in the leaves, Konoha. With a deep breath and the feeling of nostalgia swelling in his chest Naruto steps through the gates of Konoha giving a courteous nod in the direction of the two ninja guarding the gate who after a few moments had an expression of surprise as they realised who had just walked past them.
As Naruto walked through the village memories both good and bad rushed back to him but he pushed the bad ones a side focusing on the good ones bringing a grin to his face as he remembered his childish antics and times spent with his friends. When they had reached the mid point of the village Naruto stopped suddenly causing Jiraiya to stop and give him a curious glance as Naruto dropped his back pack and sword to the ground and ran up a tall wooden pole to stand at the top and bask in the view and the memories of his home.
"Naruto!" Came a shout that snapped Naruto out of his trance. "Naruto is that really you?" Naruto looked down to where Jiraiya was and saw one of his closest friends.
"SAKURA!" Naruto yelled before leaping down to meet her. "It's so good to see you Sakura."
"You too Naruto, it's been a long time."
"It sure has!" Naruto said with a trademark grin putting both his hands behind his head. "So what's changed around here since I left?"
"Oh there's lots of things but we can talk about them later. We have so much to catch up on and I bet you've learned a load of awesome jutsu."
"Of course he has!" Jiraiya interrupted with a laugh. "He has been training with one of the Sannin you know!"
"Yeah sure have!" Naruto agreed. "Pervy Sage taught me a lot!"
"HEY! How many times do I have to tell you stop calling me that!" Jiraiya growled
"Call you what Pervy Sage?" Naruto asked with a look of innocent curiosity.
"AH...uh...Never mind..." Jiraiya gave up and Sakura giggled.
"So Sakura we'd better be go see granny Tsunade." Naruto said. "Then we'll have to totally catch up!"
"Yeah sounds great. I was just heading that way myself."
"All right! Then lets go!" Naruto cheered before grabbing his back pack and making his way to towards the Hokage building.
************(In Tsunade's office)
"Welcome back Naruto." Tsunade said sitting at her desk which as usual was piled high with paper work, Shizune stood by the desk holding Ton-ton.
"It's good to be back Granny Tsunade." Tsunade's eyebrow twitched at the name but kept her cool.
"I trust your training has had results?" Tsunade asked looking over to Jiraiya
"Of course it has, he won't be easy for anyone to beat now!" Jiraiya cheered. "In fact one day maybe he'll be as famous as me!"
"Well then Naruto, I'm going to test your skills. I've had him rest up for the last few days ready to fight you. You're opponent will be..." Tsunade was stopped mid sentence as knock was heard on the office door. "ENTER."
In walked Shikamaru followed closely by the sand ninja Temari.
"Look Shikamaru, look who it is." Sakura said pointing in Narutos direction.
"...Naruto?" Shikamaru mumbled. "Naruto it's really you!"
"Yup! Just got in this morning."
"It's good to see you again."
"You too Shikamaru. Does this mean your my opponent Shikamaru?" Naruto noticed Temari standing next to Shikamaru and leaned towards her so that his face was too close for Termari's comfort, Naruto had a look of puzzlement on his face as her looked closely at her. "Who are you again?"
"Wha...? You forgot?" Temari stuttered shocked that the blond could forget her after the attack on the village two years previously.
"Naruto!" Everyone turned to face Tsunade. "Shikamaru is not your opponent. Your opponent is over there." Tsunade pointed to the window. Naruto made his way over and opened it and looked outside to see none other than his Sensei Kakashi sitting on the roof as usual reading one of his books.
"Kakashi-Sensei!" Naruto cheered leaping out of the window to greet his old Sensei "It's great to see you again Kakashi."
"You too Naruto." Kakashi grinned through his mask closing his book and putting it away.
"Oh that's right! I've got a gift for you, I know how much you like them so I'm giving this to you." Naruto said pulling out his gift and showing it to Kakashi.
"WHHAAAAA...!" Kakashi screamed as his eyes lay upon the book that Naruto had produced.
"It's the first book that the Icha-Icha series has released in three years. I found it pretty boring but I know how much you like them." Kakashi with shaking hands gratefully accepted Narutos gift and slowly opened the book his eyes still not believing what they were seeing.
"Hang on! Does this mean your my opponent Kakashi?" Naruto exclaimed as the realisation struck him. Kakashi was pulled from his awed state and closed the book getting up and walking towards the window Naruto had jumped from.
"That's not quite right Naruto, I will be taking on you and the rest of Team 7. Sakura and Sasuke will join you in your fight." Kakashi explained.
"Sakura and Sasuke! Awesome! Where is Sasuke anyway?"
"Oh he'll probably be at home sleeping. He arrived early this morning from a mission and I told him to rest up for the fight. I'll meet you guys at training field later." With a puff of smoke Kakashi disappeared.
"He seemed to be in a hurry." Shizune said.
"I can have a pretty good guess why." Tsunade respond.
"THE BOOK!" Sakura and Naruto shouted.
"Well at least it will give us time to get Sasuke and plan a bit for the fight."
"Yeah! Lets go get that lazy Teme and kick Kakashi-sensei's butt!" Naruto shouted pumping his fist into the air.
************(Sasuke's House)
Naruto and Sakura arrived at Sasuke's house after stopping off at Narutos place to drop off his stuff. Sakura was telling Naruto about some of the changes that had happened around the village while he was gone. Some of the more note worthy ones were how Neji and Ten ten have been dating for 3 months now, Ino had started dating Choji which had surprised just about everyone in the village. Sakura herself had actually gone on a couple of dates with Lee lately and that they seemed to be hitting it off pretty well.
"Wow...I never imagined...you and Bushy Brows...or Ino with Choji!" Naruto said absently as he walked along staring off into the distance.
"Yeah...well Lee is just so sweet really. I know he has weird eyebrows but he is such a romantic and well no one saw Ino and Choji coming but they do seem happy together." Sakura explained as she knocked on the door of Sasuke's house.
"Yeah...I'm surprised she went for Choji when the object of her desires was Sasuke for so long. Do you think she got tired of chasing him?"
"Uh...well that's something else I need to tell you Naruto. Sasuke..."Suddenly the door slid open revealing a bleary eyed Sasuke. He was topless showing his well toned body and looked like he had just woken up.
"Sakura...Naruto?" The raven haired boy managed to stutter in his sleep like state.
"Hey Sasuke!" Sakura said. Naruto was slack jawed as he gazed upon Sasuke's half naked form.
'God he looks so good.' Naruto thought to himself shaking himself out of it when he realised he was staring.
"HEY Sasuke! Long time no see." Naruto chuckled trying to act natural but failing miserably but due to Sasuke's tired state he didn't seem to notice.
"Hnn...Well I guess you two should come in." Sasuke said sliding the door open wider and turning to walk into the house. They followed Sasuke into the kitchen where he poured himself a cup of coffee. "So I take it your here about our match against Kakashi?"
"Well yeah but I also wanted to catch up with you Teme." Naruto said earning a glare from Sasuke.
"I hope you're a lot better ninja now dobe, I don'#t want to have to carry you in this fight." Sasuke teased before calmly taking a drink from his mug, a smirk gracing his lips as Naruto took the bait.
"Carry ME! You Teme! I can dance circles round you! BELIEVE IT!" Naruto pumped his fist into the air.
"I wasn't talking about your dancing skills dobe." Sasuke retorted before leaving the room leaving Naruto sputtering.
"WHY YOU! GET BACK HERE I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU YET!" Naruto shouted as he stormed after Sasuke.
"Some things will never change..." Sakura said with a sigh before giggling to herself. "But then again I don't want everything to change."
***********(At the training field)
"He's late." Naruto complained as he marched back and forth impatiently as Sasuke and Sakura leant against a fence.
"Relax Dobe, this is Kakashi we're talking about here. He's always late." Sasuke said cooly.
'I may not want everything to change but Kakashi-sensei's punctuality is certainly one thing I would like to change.' Sakura thought to her self. A Puff of smoke appeared and Kakashi appeared as the smoke cleared.
"YOU'RE LATE KAKASHI-SENSEI!" Naruto shouted.
"Ah sorry sorry. I was on my way here when I had to help a little old lady with her..."
"THAT'S SUCH A LIE!" Naruto and Sakura yelled simultaneously.
"Well anyway...shall we begin?" Kakashi began making his way to the centre of the training field where 3 wooden poles stood.
"Sure is nostalgic." Sakura stated.
"Sure is." Naruto agreed.
"Of course, this was the first place that you guys..." Kakashi trailed off as the memories came flooding back.
"The first time we teamed up together." Naruto said absently as he too was lost in the memories.
A jangle of bells snapped everyone back to reality. Kakashi was holding two bells just like he had when they had first met.
"Here's the challenge. You have till sunrise to get these bells from me and you know what you have to do to get them."
"Come at you as if we intend to kill you..." Sakura began.
"...Or we'll never be able to beat you." Naruto finished. Sasuke remained silent but a subtle smile crept onto his face.
"So are you going to be reading your book this time Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked with a sarcastic tone.
"No." Kakashi reach round and put his book away. "This time I'm going to have to go all out." Kakashi lifted his bandana to reveal his sharingan eye. Sakura put on here leather gloves, Naruto took his sword off his back and attached it to his belt on his left hip and Sasuke activated his own Sharingan and grabbed the hilt of his own sword that was strapped across his lower back.
"All right lets do this!" Naruto cheered and threw several kunai at Kakashi who ducked them and threw his own. Naruto leapt into the air to dodge them but Kakashi quickly threw some more at Naruto while he was in mid air. Naruto quickly summoned a shadow clone and used it to pull him to safety. As he and the shadow clone landed the Shadow clone turned into a large shuriken but before Naruto could throw it Kakashi had grabbed his arm holding the shuriken and placed a kunai to the back of his neck.
"Impressive Naruto but you're as impatient as ever. I never said start." Everyone couldn't help but grin as another Naruto stood behind Kakashi with his own Kunai pointed at his back. "And your timing with your shadow clones has improved."
Unknown to the group they were being watched by Jiraiya, Tsunade and Shizune.
"Impressive." Was all Tsunade had to say.
"Naruto isn't the same kid that he once was." Jiraiya boasted.
"Why hasn't Naruto drawn his sword?" Shizune asked. "Is he not taking this fight seriously?"
"Oh he's taking it seriously." Jiraiya responded. "Naruto's skill with a sword is impressive but his true ability with the blade is on the draw."
"What do you mean?"
"You'll see."
"All right then..." Kakashi paused for a long moment. "Begin!" Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke confusing everyone for a moment before the readied themselves.
"Where is he?" Naruto spat annoyed that Kakashi had escaped so easily.
"I'm not sure." Sasuke replied his eyes taking in every detail of the area as he scanned it.
"I know where he is! HIIIIYAAA!" Sakura cried as she punched the ground. The ground shattered, breaking apart like it was made of brittle china that had been dropped from a great height.
"I gotta stop acting stupid in front of Sakura or she'll kill me!" Naruto sweat dropped at Sakura's insane strength, even Sasuke was impressed. He knew she'd been training under Tsunade but he didn't realise that she'd become this strong. In amongst the rubble Kakashi sat with a look of shock and wonder on his face.
"I found you Kakashi-Sensei." Sakura stated proudly as Kakashi dragged himself out of the rubble.
"Very impressive Sakura." Kakashi praised. "Now then the real test begins now."
A/N: This was a short chapter following closely to the events of the first episode, Don't worry after the next chapter the story will branch off into my version of events. I hope you like it.
