Thread: The Fox of Konoha (Silverknight & LadyWolfie)

Naruko smiled as she finished greeting her sensei and watched his reaction. It was pretty much what she had expected of him as she ran a finger through the blonde hair she gave herself when pretending to be Naruto. With a sigh she jumped down from the roof top, Kakashi-sensei in tow. Though she hadn't expected to run into anyone so soon and almost crashed into Neji as she had been lost in thought. Stopping herself and straightening up she had to fight the rising blush in her checks. While she had originally hated Naji she had slowly grown to like him, a lot. After their battle at the Chounin exam, where she had to be quite cleaver to hide her true gender from him, it had actually been thanks to Ero-Sennin that she had even come up with an idea. Though it was a slightly perverted one, it had worked, she hoped. Though right now if he used the Byakugan on her there was no way to hide who she really was and her secret would be out. Though from the information her and Juraiya had gathered she hoped that Tsunade would let her stop pretending to be Naruto and be herself, of course she was sure she would either shock or piss off all her friends she had gained as Naruto for lying. Shaking the thought from her mind she focused on Neji, who was right in front of her at the moment. Her blushing had faded some what, but she was sure it was still present as her cheeks and ears were still burning slightly, Oh hi Neji... she started, but stopped as she realized she didn't quite sound like Naruto, but more like her feminine real voice and quickly corrected it, I-I didn't expect to run in to anyone so soon, how'd you know I was here? I suppose it went okay, as good as training with Ero-Sennin can be I suppose, sometime have to use my Sexy-no-Jutsu to get him to do anything... she with her best Naruto voice, teasing her Godfather. Of course that bit wasn't true, her godfather had no problem training her, he wasn't that bad of a pervert around her. Bringing her thoughts back to the Hyuuga boy in front of her, she remembered when she started to respect him, and even developed a crush on him. Though she never let it become more then that, as she had also developed feelings for her former Teammate and now traitor Sasuke. Him leaving had hurt her very deeply, even more then it had hurt Sakura, since it was her chest Sasuke had put a hole in, quite literally in fact. Of course she had to hide any feelings she might have for any of the Konoha guys, since as far as they knew she was a boy like them. As she doubted anyone had figured it out, she had done her best to keep her true self hidden, the only one who had seen her as Naruko was Kiba and it was dark so he never saw her face and had never brought it up again. As for Neji she had developed the crush when they had gone to save Sasuke and she realized just how cool he really was, willing to help for Naruto's sake and the village even if he might not like Sasuke. She never really could tell how Neji was feeling, though it was likely for the lack of time spent together. Shaking the thought from her head she took in his new look, he was older then before, of course she was too, and even a bit handsome, but she didn't indulge these thoughts. So, um how are you? she asked with her usual Naruto hyper-smile. I've gotta go see Grandma Tsunade, but maybe after we can catch up over some Ramen after? she added still smiling. Though she hoped that after her meeting with Tsunade she would be allowed to openly be Naruko, after all the Akaski now thought the blonde haired boy name Naruto was the jinchriki of the Nine-tailed Fox, so being him was now just as dangerous as being herself.
