Hidden Fox in the Hidden Leaf

Zorua, the illusion fox pokemon, a dark type that creates illusions to hide its true form and to distract and prank others. A potential master of disguise and infiltration. But what if said Zorua was a ninja? Sakushi used to be a ordinary human being, before he died as a bystander when a robbery happened. Bullet to the skull, quick death. After waking up as a Zorua in the middle of a forest, and noting the lack of any other pokemon, he decided that he probably shouldn't reveal himself. But after noticing a nearby town, he quickly gains other ideas. And then he notices the set of stone faces in the cliff. And those people are most certainly not any US presidents, but they had once held a similar job. Hokage. After getting over his shock, he decides to ignore the mental voice of reason and go "Zorua mode" and see how long he can hide in plain sight behind his illusions. How long will he last before he is forced to reveal himself? At least he doesn't have to worry about pokeballs. Cover art is ai generated by me, the fact that the shadow kid looks like the protagonist of the original series is completely coincidencedental and not intended.
