The three humans all stood like statues, staring at the human-like creature before them. That thing that shocked them was the two orangish-yellow ears that sat on his blond hair and the orangish-yellow fox tails that turn black at its tips. Naruto took this time to scan the three.
There was a girl with fair skin, green eyes, and pink hair that reached down to her back. She wore a long red dress with short sleeves, the dress had small slits along the side and had white circular designs on it. She also wore green shorts and blue sandals. There were some of the headbands with a metal plate on it, she wore it as a hair band. In Naruto's eyes, she didn't seem very strong, the way she was acting.
Then there was a boy, who seemed stronger than the girl. The boy had dark eyes and black hair, that looked like a dark blue. His clothing consisted of a navy blue, short-sleeved shirt and white shorts.
The man looked very strong, maybe stronger than him. The man had spiky white hair, dark grey eyes, his left eyes were covered with the same metal headband. He had a mask that covers half his face as well. The silver-haired man wore a flat jacket, dark blue pants and a long sleeved shirt.
The first one to speak was the girl.
"W-what are you?" She stuttered out, Naruto stared at her, thinking if he should tell her or not.
" Can't tell ya," He said to them, shaking his head, imagining what Shina would do to him. The humans look at each other, confused at what was standing before them.
"Anyway, Y'all need to leave," Naruto said, his tails wagging. His ears started to twitch, flicking from left to right, his nose peeked up.
"It seems that you're lost here," You could hear the silver-haired man sigh to himself.
"I could lead the way, towards the exit," He told the humans.
"...Can we trust you?" The masked man asked. Naruto's ears stopped twitching and his tailed dropped to the ground.
"You don't have to trust me," He said frowning, his ears flattened on his head
"But know this, humans like you won't last a day in here, there are many poisonous things and creatures like me that could kill you," The pink haired girl gasped, but said nothing else. The masked man seemed unfazed, while the black haired boy tensed up.
"So, just trust me for now" Naruto continued
Along the journey toward the exit of the forest, the humans asked many questions but the blonde would always answer along the lines of "She'll be mad, I can't tell you" or "She told me not to tell you". The humans got tired of hearing the same answer.
"Who is the 'she' you are referring to every time" the black haired boy asked, when nearing the exit of the forest. Naruto ears twitched when hearing the question, he stayed silent thinking of a way to not give too much information.
"She's someone like me" He said quietly.
"Okay, I brought you here," He said, turning towards them.
"Never come back, I can't guarantee I'll be the first person you meet next time" He said while sniffing the air. The humans only stared at him, nodding. The blonde boy started to walk off, back within the forest. When the boy was out of human sight of the humans, he crouched down and closed his eyes. His body slowly turned into a fox like creature, but bigger and with more tails. The orangish- yellow fox like creature dashed deeper within the forest, going back to his home.
