Thereafter, Naruto settles into life as a student of the local Konoha High School, making new friends and a few rivals along the way, including Hinata, who's the daughter of the local Hyuga Corporation's CEO and who develops a crush on the blond whisker-marked boy, and Suigetsu, a local troublemaker who seeks to get under Naruto's skin from the first time they meet. Consequently, Mizuki and his people get arrested, while Naruto learns to adjust to life in Konoha Town with help from Ino, whose life he saved during said beat-down of said gang. Not only that, but Naruto himself is a genuine former member of the Kyuushingai, with the old code-name of "Kurama the Fox," and he proceeds to wipe out Mizuki and his entire gang just when they're on the verge of burning down the Yamanaka store, the only store that's resisted paying dues to them. Only, as it turns out, Mizuki is a big fraud who's merely taking advantage of the fear generated by the stories about the Kyuushingai, in order to bully the locals and extort store-owners. Furthermore, the Nine Terrors' exploits are steeped in myth and legend due to the unreliable and widely-varying rumors and testimonies about their 365-day rampage, but they remain highly feared even two years after their mysterious disappearance. While there, he runs afoul of members of a local gang, headed by the notorious Mizuki, who is a former member of an infamous group known collectively as the "Kyuushingai" ("Nine Terrors") that spent exactly one whole year, from January 1 to December 31 two years earlier, causing much destruction and panic across the continent. Naruto shows up in Konoha Town one day, and stops at the Yamanaka family greengrocery to buy a few gifts for his mother Kushina, with whom he's going to be staying. The story instead goes for a more realistic feel in a modern setting. The story is an Alternate Universe Fic, specifically of the High School AU variety, and as such there aren't any ninja elements that are so prevalent in the series canon.

Kitsune no Ken: Fist of the Fox is a Naruto fan-fiction written by Neon Majestic ( Justice Reaper on this site), the author of Yu-Gi-Oh! Forever.
