PERSON THINKING/FLASH BACK

Chapter 1, The Astral Fox!

Disclaimer; I own nothing from naruto and the few things from Inuyasha and Wagaya no Oinari Sama that I may use along with any other things from another show I may use!

The village of Konoha, one of the five great shinobi villages in the elemental countries was currently bursting with life even though it was only seven am. Tomorrow would be sixth year anniversary of the death of the nine tailed fox demon by their beloved yondiame Hokage…Minato Namikaze.

Today every one was setting up all kinds of game and food stands for the festival that was coming tomorrow to celebrate the memorable day, all except for little Naruto Uzumaki who's sixth birthday was tomorrow as well. He was watching all the happy villagers as they ran around with contempt as he looked out his apartment window with a blank expression while wearing blue pajama pants and a t-shirt. Naruto was between three foot six inches and three foot eight inches with three whisker marks on each side of his face, piercing blue eyes, and messy blond spiky hair.

"How I loath playing the part of the fool for you people," said Naruto as he continued to watch the happy villagers.

When ever Naruto was out in public he would always act like a smiling stupid idiot because on his fifth birthday he finally had enough of the villagers cold glares, ninja academy teachers discreet ways of trying to make him fail, kids his own age ignoring him, making fun, even bullying, shop owners adding a few extra dollars to what ever he bought, and the worst thing of all was that even though the adults never did more then ignore him or give him cold glares, they would some times encourage their older children to play with Naruto and when they finished playing, Naruto would come home bruised and beaten, but the other kids would usually go home in a similar condition because these were the only times Naruto would drop his mask and fight back.

He only did this because he figured that if he was truly hated and already thought of as a failure then that's what he would give them…at least until his twelfth birthday when the final exams at the ninja academy came around, because that's when he decided that he would drop his mask and show every one just how much of a prodigy he really was.

"There's no point in revealing my true abilities to you people until the final exam in six years because not only will I surprise all of you, but no matter what the grades I get now are they do not have any thing to do with where I'll be placed in the end. I'll become rookie of the year if only to see all their surprised faces as the dead last of the class beats them…..I especially cant wait to wipe of that arrogant smile of Sasuke Uchiha," said Naruto before looking over to a flower on the window sill as he held his hand a few inches away from it and watched as it slowly froze and changed into a beautiful crystallized ice flower.

Naruto just sighed as he looked at the frozen flower and said "I really need to find out just what blood line this is and what its secrets are," and with that Naruto changed into his usual orange jumpsuit with blue on the shoulders and a red spiral on the back and prepared to go to the library to see if he could find out any information about his recently discovered blood line like he's been doing for the last two months, which is when he accidentally activated it during one of his training sessions.

FLASH BACK TWO MONTHS AGO!

"Those teachers forgot to give me tonight's home work again, and like usual every one was all gaga over Sasuke just because he got few bulls eyes during kunai throwing practice," growled out Naruto as he punched a training log. Naruto was extremely angry and frustrated today from whats been going on lately that he started punching the training log hard enough to make his knuckles bleed. With each punch he became angrier and the angrier he became the colder he felt until every thing slowed down and when his fist hit the log it turned to ice and shattered.

"Wh-what j-just happened," whispered a wide eyed Naruto.

When Naruto saw his reflection in a piece of ice on the ground he couldn't help but gasp as he saw that his once sun kissed blond hair was now white/silver, his eyes were no longer piercing blue but amber with black slits, he had pointed ears, in the middle of his forehead was a purple crescent moon, and on each side of his face starting from the base of his ear to half way across his cheek were two thin purple triangular like marks (think Sesshomaru from Inuyasha). But not a moment later his hair, eyes, and ears changed back to normal along with the marks disappearing.

"What just happened," whispered Naruto as he touched his face.

END FLASH BACK!

While Naruto locked the door to his apartment and started walking down the streets to the konoha library he couldn't help but think "ever since that day two months ago I haven't been able to activate that "white haired" version of my self again……I wonder how I even did it."

Naruto walked the rest of the way to the library silently as he continued to muse about his current dilemma.

"I guess I should start researching again now that I'm here I guess," said Naruto as he looked up at the library before heading up the steps and going through the door.

When he went in side he noticed that it was completely empty and that the librarian was sleeping.

"Just the way I like it," said Naruto before heading over to the blood lines of the elemental countries section where he started browsing through ice blood line abilities where he found a book that read "Blood Lines of The Land of Water."

"Well I guess if what I have really is a bloodline then it might possibly be here," said Naruto before taking the book and sitting down at a table where he began reading.

It was about six pm and the sun was just beginning to set while Naruto walked down the steps of the library and began to walk home. There were still people out finishing up their stands for the festival tomorrow, but all the people that were still out and not at home were on the other side of the village and Naruto would soon find out that this would be a time where he would actually need some one else around.

"I still don't know what this power of mine is but at least I did come across some interesting ice based attacks that I'll try to use in my training tomorrow, not to mention that picture I found of a dog demon that looked like an older version of me when I was in that "white haired " version of my self. The book said that he was called the tai-yokai and ruled the western lands, but died in the fifteen hundreds, after receiving serious wounds in a battle with another powerful demon that he barely managed to defeat," said Naruto before smirking and saying with a small laugh "who knows, maybe I'm a descendent of his."

"More then you know," said a deep voice that made Naruto stop and look around before shrugging it off and continuing to walk home too his standard one bedroom apartment in the upper middle class area that the sandaime bought for him on his fifth birthday thinking that it would be safer for Naruto in an upper class area then a more run down section of the village. Doing that was probably one of the smartest things the Hokage could have done for Naruto too.

"Hay kid what you doing out soooo late," slurred out a drunken ninja in a jounin out fit.

"Just walking home," said Naruto as he turned around to face the drunk.

The moment the drunk saw Naruto's face he looked at naruto with contempt and anger as he said "you fox there's know one around to save you today all the anbu watching have the day of to prepare for the festival," slurred out the ninja as he walked towards Naruto with an evil smirk that started to worry Naruto.

"What are you talking about? Fox… anbu watching me? You're not making any sense…" But before Naruto could say any thing else he yelled out in surprise and pain as a kunai hit him in the shoulder.

"Run," said that familiar deep voice again that Made naruto look around franticly only to see no one but the homicidal ninja slowly walking towards him with an evil smirk and a kunai in hand.

"What are you waiting for NOW RUN!" screamed the voice and this time Naruto listened and started running after freezing the ground in front of him in hopes of slowing down the Ninja.

"Hey you get back here so I can kill you," screamed the drunken ninja before running after Naruto and slipping on the ice that he didn't notice due the darkness and his drunken state.

"You little bastard, don't think you can escape me," screamed the enraged drunken jounin before getting up and chasing after Naruto.

"Don't look back Naruto, just keep running and I'll call for help,"

Naruto was to worried about surviving the night to wonder who was talking, so he just nodded and hoped who ever was coming would be here soon.

Up in the mountains an abnormally large light golden yellow dog sized fox with brown tipped ears, brown tipped tail, brown paws, and white fur on its stomach was currently sleeping in a grassy meadow some where in fire country.

"Wake up! Naruto UZUMAKI needs your help! Kushina's son and last of the uzumaki clan needs your help!"

"What…. Kyuubi is that you?" said a deep demonic voice overlapped by a more noticeable feminine voice.

"Yes it is, but I'll explain later all you need to know is that Kushina's son is in trouble and it's your duty to protect him, so get your ass over here to konoha RIGHT NOW!"

At that the fox stood up quickly with wide eyes as she whispered "he's alive," before narrowing her eyes and saying "I'm coming Naruto," and taking off towards konoha so quickly that all you saw was a light golden almost yellow streak.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Just hang on a little longer Naruto, she'll be here soon."

"Who will be here soon?!" said naruto as he could here the ninja catching up with him. fortunatley for Naruto he was drunk which made him slower then he would normally be.

"Her names Kuugen the Astral fox and………GUARDIAN OF THE UZUMAKI CLAN!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Hold on Naruto I'm coming!" Yelled out the amber eyed astral fox as she raced towards konoha as fast as she could.
