Naruto has yet to tell Kitsune his name, as Kitsune has yet to tell him his, so Kitsune calls him Kit. As the rain turned to snow, he watched a figure pass by the window, and, he thought as he made his way to the back of the class, passing by Sasuke after sticking out his tongue, he swore he smelt that of fading blood.1

Naruto smiled slightly at that memory. He recalled that was about a week after the Uchiha massacre. In fact, he thought strangely as he continued down the dirt path to Konoha, carrying an unconscious Sasuke with him, doesn't it take about a week to wash away the sent of blood so animals can't smell it, yet the aura stays.3
