Once again spoilerish, if you haven't read chapter 367. I like how this turned out... or I could just be sleepy and not care. *yawns*
And I don't know if Kushina was actually in the ANBU or not, but let's pretend she is.
----------------------------------------
A five year old with dirty clothes and blond hair waddled into the toy store grinning brightly. The store keeper eyed the boy's whisker marked checks with unease and hate, but before he could shoo the child out an elder followed.
At the sight of the red robed man, the store keeper respectfully asked, "Hokage-sama, what can I do for you?"
The village leader smiled at the blond, who was making a beeline to the stuffed animal section, "I came to get Naruto a toy." The store keeper nodded, almost feeling ashamed for what the Hokage was indirectly accusing him of.
"I want this one!" Naruto shouted as he came running back with a little fluffy red fox. The store keeper raised his eyebrows in a displeased expression.
The Sandaime's trained face concealed his worry; he bent down to the boy's level looking into those cerulean eyes. "Why a fox?" He asked.
Naruto was quiet for a moment before muttering, "She has a fox mask."
Wanting to get to the bottom of this, the Hokage wondered, "Who has a fox mask?"
"The pretty red haired lady", the boy grinned his eyes blue eyes bright.
"Red haired lady", the store keeper snorted in disbelief.
"Yeah", he continued defensively, "She sings to me at night."
"I see", the Sandaime said getting up to pay for the stuffed toy fox. If I'm not getting senile in my old age, he thought, Kushina had the fox mask while in ANBU.
Then taking the five year old's hand, he said a polite goodbye and led the boy out of the store. Naruto stuck his tongue out at the store keeper on his way out, and the Hokage pretended not to notice.
Half way down the street, Naruto asked in a hopeful tone, "Oji, do you know who she is?"
The Hokage reminded quiet.
