Wrote it when I was bored, may continue it, may not.

Try to keep up, far more depressing story then I usually do.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The long pitter-patter of rain drilling into wooden shudders, pipes and the tops of buildings was both a worrying sound a calming sound to Naruto. The boy of seven, an orphan for as long as he could remember, scuttled about the dimly lit apartment he lived in, placing pots and pans to hold the water leaking from the roof.

"Ma, sure wish Oba-sama would advance me my monthly pay, these holes sure do get annoying during the rainy season." Naruto half grumbled, half joked to himself, the dingy apartment feeling large and imposing without anyone else living there. "Naw, she doesn't need to, I'd just be bothering her, not to mention that the season should be over soon. One month max." Naruto shook his head, being a bother, that was something he wouldn't allow himself to be.

After all, he was ignored for some reason, right? It was probably that. His classmates always said that he was a 'Monster bothers', and the adults always called him just 'Monster', so it made sense he was the latter. Why else would they ignore him so?

The pat pat of rain hitting the pans was a little annoying in Naruto's opinion, but he would rather put up with that then have to deal with the hours of scrubbing to get rid of the mold that would manifest itself if water were allowed to sink into the floorboards. Naruto would rather put up with that.

There was a banging from below, a low thump, followed by a muffled shriek of "You brat! Stop that, or else I swear I'll come up there and give you a beating!" The old woman's voice shrieked from below him. She was the person that allowed him the privilege of staying in her...humble...abode, the large apartment rundown after several decades of service. He was the only one who lived there other then her now, her sour attitude driving everyone else away, making Naruto's somewhat forced residence there her only source of income.

This never stopped her from making violent threats whenever Naruto did something that struck her as 'annoying', which wasn't above making a noise loud enough to be heard from below.

"G-gomen nasai, Oba-sama!" Naruto called back. "DON'T CALL ME OLD!" Her voice shrieked back. Naruto set to work, he knew better then to believe that she wouldn't follow through with her threats, like that time with that wild dog. A shiver ran down his spine as he recalled that particular insident. He still had nightmares.

Grabbing a large amount of rags, and several of his shirts, he lined the metal pots with them, muffling the sound of rain hitting the metal pots. He looked grimily as he realized he had one change of shirts now, and tomorrow was supposed to be picture day at school. Well, he never really looked that good anyways, and the public school he went to had fairly high standards; although not as high as the other school in Konoha.

Naruto checked the clock across the wall, upon seeing it was late, took towards the kitchen as the rain started to lift a little. Reaching into his cupboard, he found what he was looking for, an instant bowl of ramen. Popping the top off, and setting it into his old clunker of a microwave, Naruto took the three minutes it took to cook to examine a small book he had on his table.

Clicking on the light above, he took to slowly reading the title; his kata-reading was coming along slowly unfortunately. Slowly sounding it out, Naruto began to read.

A Guide to Shinobi: What Being a Ninja Means, and what to Expect

By now, you may ask, being a ninja is a both a great honor and privilege, and at times can be a great burden. You must ask yourself, do I have what it takes? Grueling training, long hours, and a high possibility of being killed are just some of the many problems on can face in the line of work. But the advantages to this living severely outweigh the cons.

First of all, being a ninja means that you are entitled to reach a level of ability that seem almost inhuman to some. Walking on vertical walls, disappearing in a flash, not to mention gaining both mental and physical attributes that seem impossible to a normal person. These are the physical benefits of being ninja. Financially, being a Shinobi is also a plus, as the average Genin, the lowest of the low, can make up to and is not limited to 600 000 yen in one year. A Jounin is capable of making twice that in a day of work. If this isn't enough incentive, fame is also something that follows Shinobi of all nations. The great healer, Tsunade is just an example of someone who has reached prowess in this field, noted for her amazing skills earned through training, and her will to protect those precious to her.

Naruto sighed a little, oh how he wished to be like that. Strong, rich, and famous, not some orphan, living alone in his house with the owner constantly hounding him, the entire village hating the very fact he was breathing. Feeling a sudden rush of despair, Naruto quickly stuffed these thoughts away; after all, it was the next paragraph that always made his insides squirm fairly harshly.

The part that explained how and why, he could never actually be a ninja.

You may ask yourself 'Hey! I want to be ninja! Fame, money, and skill, what more do I need to know?' Well, there are two things that keep the elite population of ninja in a tight nit group. 1) Ninja can only be women. This may be a shock to some, but it is true. Several centures ago, males stopped carrying the gene that allowed chakra coils to manifest themselves on a level needed to be Shinobi, although women retained that ability. Because of this, only women can be Shinobi, so if you are a man, or a member of the male populace, I would strongly suggest that you set this book down. The second reason it can be hard is; most of these women develop into lesbians. Yes, another shock, but its true. 97 of women who become ninja are in fact homosexual, a small 3 are straight. Scientists sadly cannot explain this phenomenon, it simply occurs. Chances are, that if your reading this as you or someone you know who has developed chakra coils, then you or her are in fact a lesbian. Many times, women who are in denial of this fact, or do not wish to be looked upon as such, actually shirk away from this line of work, choosing to ignore this most likely truth, that they in fact love women. This makes the already small population of women who can us 'chakra' even smaller.

Naruto, frankly didn't know what 'lesbian' was, but he understood the meaning of the previous paragraph. He, being a boy, could never actually be a ninja, his dream, and a fruitless one. Naruto sighed loudly as his microwave gave a loud beep. A shout of "I said stop making noise, you worthless GAKI!" Was heard from below, before Naruto dug into his meal, savoring the soothing hot broth.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

School was, not that Naruto would ever admit it, crappy. Unlike the Shinobi school that received such attention and prowess and continued funding, the normal, civilian school was sadly run down, and fairly shabby. The textbooks were exceedingly old, only depiction the main nations, and not areas such as Kusa, or even sections of Iwa, which weren't founded until much later after they were made.

"Uzumaki! Tell me, how is the primary agricultural resource sold by Iwa?" His teacher, a crumpety old man who Naruto still didn't know the name of grunted. Most just referred to him as Mr. T, the odd name originating from the fact he was from the far west, across the ocean.

"G-gomen. I couldn't find the page in m-my book, I think it was ripped out." Naruto stuttered weakly. Mr. T gave him a harsh look, before a single piece of chalk beamed the poor seven year old in the face. "BAKA!" He said coarsely, the rest of the class snickering. The shocking thing was, most of the class was about twice Naruto's size, the meaning being that most were being held back, failing the obviously far to harsh questions.

"The answer is minerals, like iron, which is the primary element used to make kunai, which we ourselves import." Mr. T said superiorly. Naruto moaned a little, rubbing the red spot on his seven-year-old forehead. "I'm sorry Mr. Uzumaki, did you want to ask a question?" Mr. T asked Naruto sarcastically. Surprisingly, Naruto responded.

"Yes, what's the difference between an import and an export?" He asked innocently, his head twisting to the side. Mr. T gave him a single look, before violently whipping his chalk-brush at his head, sending it bouncing off. "GAKI!" He shouted again. "Do any of you even pay attention to the miniscule education I'm trying to give you?! Class dismissed, I can't stand to look at any of you, get out of my sight!" He said, turning his back to the class.

Every student immediately took towards the door, save for one, Naruto. He sat there with a troubled pout on his face, before he stood, grabbed his books, and walked slowly up to Mr. T's desk. Starting timidly, Naruto attempted to apologize.

"Uh, Mr. T-sama? I-uh, well, wanted to um… apologize, I'm sorry that I'm stupid. I'll try harder next ti-" Naruto was suddenly taken aback as the elder teacher whirled violently around, fixing Naruto with a furious snarl. "I SAID GET OUT OF MY SIGHT WIT-LESS MORON!" He screeched directly into Naruto's face.

Giving a squeak, Naruto ran through the door at lightning speeds, as Mr. T grumbled about annoying, bothersome brats.

The hallways were overtly crowded as children filed out, Mr. T's early recession from the classes being almost two minutes before the bell went. Dodging and slipping through the brunt of them, Naruto found his small cubby locker, the words 'WORTHLESS IDIOT' Plastered on it with permanent paint, a small, deformed image of his face etched below it. Cracking it open and grabbing his bag, Naruto took off out the lead entrance, lost among the sea of heads.

He didn't see the three pairs of glinting, malevolent eyes watching him leave.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Naruto walked away from the streets, choosing instead to cut through the children's park. His backpack smacked painfully against him, as he ran at almost top-speed, trying to hopefully throw off anyone who might be following him.

Taking a run down an ally-way, Naruto ran past a concrete wall, before something hard smacked into his head. Falling over and skidding his knee, Naruto stood up blearily as three figures walked up, cutting off any exit. "Well, well, this is a surprise, old fox-face idiot, what a pleasure."

"Futoi-san." Naruto whispered. Futoi, a boy two years older then him, a little on the heavy set, walked up slowly, his two goons slowly marching in as the encircled him. "I didn't see you today, gaki. Shame to, because I was short cash for lunch, and I needed to 'borrow' some. Are you avoiding sweet, lovable me?" Futoi asked in a mock tone of sincerity.

"G-gomen-nasai, Futoi-san, I was late coming to school today. I can get you money tomorrow if you ne-" Naruto was quite suddenly pushed into the concrete wall, the wind knocked out of him from its force. "Shut up idiot! When I want money, you give it to me, you hear!?" The three of them closed in, looking menacing.

"G-gomen!" Naruto said vainly, only to be met with an "I said shut-UP!" and a punch to the face, knocking him down. The beating commenced, the three class bullies violently kicking and punching his curled up form, Naruto's only defense being to simply remain docile until they finished. They soon stopped, there breathing heavy as the examined the many bruises Naruto now sported.

Grabbing Naruto's collar, Futoi decided one last hit was in order. "And remember you little bitch-" He whispered coldly, his fist cocked back as he prepared to deliver one last punch. "-you don't ever come to school without giving me your money, or so help me, I kill y-" Furoi's voice however, died in his throat.

Naruto's swollen, bloody eye slowly cracked open, fixing the slightly overweight boy with a single, slitted, blood red eye. Naruto couldn't understand it, there he was, about to be smashed in the face by his tormentor, when the boy stopped, let go of his collar, and took several terrified paces backwards.

Naruto, slumping a little against the wall, holding his possibly broken arm, stared right into Futoi's own eyes. The boys looked horrified at Naruto, as Futoi uttered a single word. "Bakemono."

Pain, emotional scars, and tormented feelings welled up in Naruto as tears threatened to leak out. Grabbing his nap-sack quickly, he took off running, his injuries forgotten as tears streamed behind him.

Futoi stared, bewildered with his two bully friends, as they both simultaneously took off to tell there mothers about how the vicious monster had 'attacked' them.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The door to Naruto's apartment slammed open loudly, before being smashed shut again. Naruto, his body still roughed up, covered in mostly dirt and a bit of blood, leaned heavily against the door as a shout of "Shut up you brat!" Was heard below.

Sobs, small, the ones made by great sadness, threatened to escape his throat as Naruto slowly slid down the large doors. The sensation of misery was overwhelming to him, as he knew what would happen next. It always started when something like this happened.

The people who were actually primarily reponsible would go to there parents, who would become scared, thinking Naruto would hurt them, or there child. The parents would rally, and soon the hunt would start, the hunt for his head.

Naruto still couldn't understand it. Why they chased him so, why they hated him so much, why it was only him. No parents to defend him like the others, no friends who wouldn't abuse the friendship, and no skill or abilities to at least protect himself. He was...Really worthless.

"W-why." He whispered as his sobs continued. "Why am I so stupid? Why am I so weak? Why is everyone better then I am?! I just want...To know." Naruto finished desperately. It was almost a whisper, like on the wind, before a sudden burning sensation filled Naruto's entire body. "...as you wish..."

"G-guh!" Naruto grimaced as his hands fingernails grew to claws, his entire body enveloped in what appeared to be a red fire. The sensation intensified to a point where it was almost unbearable, before Naruto's head erupted in a splitting headache. The pain however just got worse. Grinding his teeth, Naruto tried to force himself to bear it.

His hands shaking, the only thing that Naruto could think was 'What's going on?! What's happening to me?! Am I turning into...A monster?!" Hot tears, ones born of even more overwhelming pain pooled down as the red flames began to recede, as Naruto lay on the ground of his apartment, choking sobs escaping his strained throat.

This is how a team of Chuunin found him a few minutes later.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Well, as I briefed you before, I, along with my team of ninja, were just getting back from a delivery mission. We were passing by the building, when to our surprise, a simply massive, but controlled burst of chakra caught our attention. Thinking it might be a strong but inexperienced enemy, we broke into the room that we picked it up. We found him like this." Mayaku said, indicating towards the small boy who sat in the chair opposite the famous and omnipotent Hokage, and older woman in swishing white and red robes, on her head was adorned a triangular hat with the symbol of fire on it.

"Thank you, you and your team may leave now." Sarutobi, the eldest ninja in the village indicated. Mayaku nodded, before turning away and marching out the door, leaving the Fire Shadow alone with a small blonde child, who was shaking like a leaf, terrified.

Before even saying anything, Naruto piped up before she could speak. "G-gomen Hokage-sama, I-I'm sorry, I won't bother you again." Before shakily standing up and turning to leave. "Get back here, Naruto." Sarutobi said.

Slowly and fearfully turning around, Naruto trudged back to the chair, and sitting down. "I-I'm in trouble, aren't I?" He asked meekly, as the woman stood up. Sarutobi had to admit, even being her age, with all the experience in the world of Shinobi to be a Kage, Sarutobi had to admit, she'd never seen anything like this. The boy across from her sat almost stock still, exuding an aura of sadness and fear, because of some newly added 'features'.

"Well Naruto, I'm gonna be honest, I don't think your so much in trouble, as in need of a bath." She indicated to his newly added, particularly fuzzy fox ears, and the tangled mess that was his new bush fox tail, his whole body being a little scuffed up looking. Sarutobi sighed. 'The council will have a field day with this' She thought.

"R-really?" He asked hopefully, pulling the tail in towards him and hugging it like a blanket. "Yes, but I'm first going to need an explanation from you as to how you so suddenly went through this change." Sarutobi inquired. Naruto however became tense, his clutch on the newly acquired tail tightening slightly as a troubled expression came on his face.

"W-well, I just got back from school, when suddenly I got really hot, like I was burning. It got really bad at one point, and I fell unconscious." Naruto said, which was partially the truth; he only left out several important details.

"Hhhmmmmmmm…tell me Naruto, how were you feeling before that?" Naruto bristled a little at that question; he'd been specifically trying to avoid a question like that. He did after all hate to be a bother; even to people that didn't even like him. Sarutobi waited patiently, but was only met with silence, as the small boy fidgeted in the chair, playing with the tail still.

"Something happened, didn't it Naruto?" Sarutobi sighed. It was almost funny, if it weren't so sad. Naruto was complex, his fear that if he was too big of a problem, the village would get rid of him. A fear brought forth only through many years of silent abuse, although the elder Kunoichi knew for a fact that at times it could get quite physical.

Standing up, she walked around her large mahogany desk, kneeled down in front of the quivering boy and enveloped him in a hug. Naruto literally melted into it, sobbing softly into her chest. He told her everything, how his teacher had yelled at him, the bullies, and how they'd called him a monster. By the end of it, Sarutobi had to admit, she was probably going to have one hell of a 'talk' with the teacher and students.

Whipping a stray tear off Naruto's face, she took a step back. "Well Naruto, this is quite a problem..." Sarutobi said thoughtfully as Naruto's ears drooped low. "Gomen." The boy replied mournfully, before going to leave again. "That's not what I meant Naruto." She said, shaking her head. Naruto turned back to her, hiding behind his tail yet again.

"First off, you seem to be able to use chakra now." 'Probably because of 'it'...' "Not to mention you've gained certain...Characteristics that are different from normal people." Sarutobi began to address from behind the desk again. "D-demo, but does that make me a freak?" He asked uncertainly, afraid of being wrong. Sarutobi sighed again 'Where was I when he was getting this messed up?'

"No Naruto, it doesn't make you a freak." Naruto however gave her a funny look, strongly reminding Sarutobi of a fox, the ears giving incentive. "So how can you explain any of this?" He said, indicating to the changes. "Um, well, uh, you see, it must be a-" 'Think Sarutobi, THINK!' "-New bloodline!" She said a little bit loudly.

"Wow! A bloodline! ...What's a bloodline?" Naruto said, his eyes sparkling with newfound curiosity. Sarutobi chuckled a little at his newfound enthusiasm. "Well, it's a special ability someone gets from their parents, there usually found in ninja clans." She nodded sagely.

"So does that mean that my parents used to catch on fire, grow fox eats and tails, and have the strangest appetite for Aburaage." Sarutobi's eyebrows shot to her forehead, as Naruto gave a sheepish grin. "Well Naruto...I wouldn't really know." Sarutobi admitted, giving a puff of her pipe.

A comfortable silence was made, and for a brief period Naruto was just comfortable with that. However, there were still questions that needed to be answered. "Naruto, do you actually enjoy going to school?" Sarutobi asked. Naruto gave her a quizzical look. "You're supposed to like school? Why?" Sarutobi sweat dropped.

"Well, I was just thinking, considering that you've developed the ability to use chakra...How would you like to be a ninja?" She asked. Naruto sat stock still, his eyes the size of dinner plates. Then, he began to shake, before a wail escaped his lips. Leaping at the Hokage with speed she thought not possible, knocking her over, Naruto wailed deeply into her.

Sarutobi had thought she'd upset the boy, but as he cried loudly into her chest, she realized something. They were tears of happiness. His words were muffled, but she could still hear them quite clearly. "DOMO ARIGATOU HOKAGE-SAMA! YES! YES-YES-YES-YES!" Naruto wept freely, his mind running on pure emotion.

"T-that's great Naruto...But could you get off me?" She asked sheepishly as Naruto's tear streaked face looked up. Almost like an electric rod had zapped him, Naruto sat back in the chair across the desk, his head low with embarrassment. "Gomen." He moaned a little, as Sarutobi just shook her head, sitting back down.

"That leaves only one problem." Naruto's ears perked up at this. "Problem?" He asked, not in the know. "Well, some people, who will remain nameless, happen to dislike foxes, as you may have noticed." Naruto nodded, recalling vaguely that many of the particularly nasty villagers had taken the liberty to call him 'fox-shit' when he walked by.

"Well, these people might make you a target, what with your new assets. Personally, I have no problem with this, but I think that for your own safety, that you should probably find a way to hide it." Naruto nodded, understanding what she was getting at. "Okkaaaaaayyyy...How?" He said.

Admonished, the Hokage sighed. "That...I do not know."

Silence. That was suddenly broken by a grumble. Raising an eyebrow, Naruto blushed red. "G-gomen...I haven't actually eaten today, the last thing I had was a bowel of ramen yesterday." He said, rubbing his stomach. "I...See." The Sarutobi sweat dropped.

"Well, I suppose if you can at least hide your tail, we could try and convince people that the ears are fakes." Sarutobi nodded sagely. Gaining a thoughtful pose, Naruto began to think. "AH! I have it!" He said. Concentrating hard, he forced the bushy fur that made it up to flatten as thinly as possible. Sliding it under his shirt and wrapping it around his chest, it was almost like the appendage wasn't there.

"That should do." Sarutobi said, "I guess we can get going. Do you know what you want to eat?" Naruto gained a thoughtful pose...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Thanks Oba-san!" Naruto cried happily as he dug into the Aburaage ramen he'd specifically ordered. Grinning like the fox he so embodied, Naruto dug in, gulping it down like there was no tomorrow. Sarutobi sighed; not ordering anything, as she knew the price of Naruto's meal alone would be tremendous.

Old man Teuchi grinned happily, wringing his hands, just thinking about it.

"Now Naruto, in a week, you start ninja school. You'll need to get your hands on some ninja tools, and a few books, alright?" Naruto stopped eating, giving the elder woman a quizzical look. "But...Well, I don't really have enough money for that. Could I borrow some of yours and pay you back. I promise I'll get it to you!" Naruto said exuberantly.

Sarutobi sighed, the atmosphere about her changing dramatically. "I've told you before Naruto, if I could, I'd give you a mansion to live in with a hundred servants and all the money in the world, but I can't, not after the council issued that rule." Oh god how Sarutobi hated that rule.

Apparently, the villagers had taken a notice to how Sarutobi had taken such a shine to the boy. Even going as far as to take care of him, shielding the boy when he was small from the orphanage that would have surely awaited the boy. The law had been passed on the grounds that she was showing far too much favoritism towards Naruto then anyone else, which, they pointed out, was unfair to the rest of the ninja populace.

Thus, after three days of straight feuding, Sarutobi grudged reached an agreement. She would take care of the boy until he was of an age where he could take care of himself. After that, she was forbidden to help him financially, the number of times she'd bought him a meal was already in itself pushing the boundaries.

Gulping down another bowel, Naruto raised an eyebrow at catching the Hokage's far off look. "Is something the matter?" Sarutobi looked up. "No, just wondering something. I suppose I could ask one of the teachers to supply you with some of the things you'll need, although I don't personally like it."

Finishing the bowel with a mighty slurp, the now fox eared boy stood to leave." Its alright Oba-san, I'll find a way, I usually do. Sorry to bother you for the meal, I'll pay you back later." Naruto said with a wide grin, before running off. Pushing a flap aside, Sarutobi called after him "Don't forget, I wanted a doctor to check you out later Naruto. Stop by the hospital and ask for the appointment there!" Naruto gave a wave, signifying a response.

Teuchi walked up to the stand, cleaning a bowel. "Well that was interesting. Any particular reasons he was wearing those fake fox ears though?" Teuchi asked. Sarutobi just sighed for the umpteenth time that day. "He's growing up, apparently."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Umino Iruka was generally considered someone who was level headed, and fairly good looking. Not the most beautiful Kunoichi, but she was quite fair, chocolate brown eyes, tanned skin, and physically fit, the only thing that could possibly distract from her features was a large scar running across her face, horizontally.

Standing up behind her desk, dressed in the traditional Chuunin uniform of a flake jacket, form-fitting pants, sandals and a Konoha hiate, she addressed the rowdy group of girls in front of her. 'I wonder why the Hokage asked me to give this speech to them anyways? We get new students all the time...' Iruka thought, holding up the small note that said 'Do not open until day student arrives.'

Flipping it open, she began to read aloud "Alright, listen up everyone. We have a new student coming in today. Now first off, I want you all to be kind to this person, as they are a little different then the normal people taught at our school." Iruka told them. Many heads peaked up, previously dosing.

"Everyone, I'd like to introduce you all to-" The booklet said to point to the door, which Iruka did "-Uzumaki…Naruto..." Her face literally paled as the sliding door opened, in walked a small blonde-haired boy, dressed in a white shirt, and blue shorts, with fox ears.

"Ummm... Hi." He said nervously as the entire class leaned in for a closer look.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Wow...Ya well, that was interesting. So many firsts have been achieved here today, that I can't really count them all.

And now to address the many thoughts of "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS! EVERYONES A CHICK, AND A LOT OF THEM ARE GAY! WHAT THE HELL YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD!?"...Ya, something like that. Well, this is a story that's been nagging at me for a while, and well, I thought I might do something you've never seen before (Even weirder then cutting strings) so, I slapped this together.

The reason I made every ninja aside from Naruto a woman is mostly because this is a fanfic. Can you all just imagine what kinda stories this one will spawn? Part of me actually gave thought to making the majority of them actually straight, but then I thought, 'Hey, if I'm gonna run track, might as well run the extra mile.

Also, if your worried there will be no romance, and many of you are probably panicking about how "POOR NARUTO IS SURROUNDED BY WOMEN, AND NONE OF THEM WANT HIM!" Bull-crap, I left a whole three percent for him, and I have yet to define who is gay, and who isn't. So there.

I also (Yes still ranting about this) wanted to chunk in a lot of yuri, because as I have mentioned before, there is a signifigant lack of high quality, romanticly intwined, well written, and in large quantity yuri fics out there. Most are either not really that good or interesting, or are far to short to be really that enthrawling. Frankly, I feel at least one person should stand up to the plate for this issue, it might as well be someone whose 'magnificent'.

Cue giant yaoi fan-girl group scream of "YYYOOOOUUUU BAAAAASSSTAAAAAARRRDDDD!" Hey, don't hate the author, if you don't want to read this anymore, then thats fine with me. Your free to concentrate on my other stories.

Okay, I would also like to mention that this story isn't going to be some lame ass, 'OMFG TWO CHICKS KISSING! ORGASM!' fic, I intend to have a multitude of both complex and realistic relationships, with both drama and romance. So there.

You should all know that I'm only experimenting with this, and if you want me to continue this story, just say so. If I'm absolutely flooded with comments like "NO! NONONONONONONONONONONONO! NO YURI!" Then fine, I'll discontinue this, and take it off the website. If I don't, then hey, I can do long updates of this on the side, in between cutting strings.

Now then...Lets see, what else is on my mind I wish to continue ranting about...A yes!

I understand some maybe a little upset that I'm using the cliche plot device that Naruto now has fox ears and a tail. Well, I have plans for this, so don't worry. Also, the the fangirls whom are still a little upset about this, I have decided to, in all fairness, make Naruto the most adorably sad little puddle kawaii-ness that some may vomit from the sheer cutness of it. Thats dilomacy for you.

I Implore you to leave comments and reviews, these could make or break this story. REVIEW! OR NO KAWAII NARUTO!

P.S. Just as a side note, I will explain next chapter as to why Naruto can now use chakra.
