AN: This is a Naruto mini-shot, set at any time Naruto speaks with Kyuubi.

Naruto was now less thrilled at the prospect of using the Kyuubi's power. "So, all I get are… tails and fur…"

"What do you want from me, a BFG?" said the fox in an annoyed, rumbling voice. "I'm a nine-tailed demon fox."

"Don't I at least get your old sword or something cool like that?"

Kyuubi did the fox equivalent of raising an eyebrow. "Do I look like a swordsman to you?"

"How about some cool jutsu?"

"Cause, you know, I'm a big fan of hand signs", the fox said, waving an enormous claw.

Naruto couldn't take it anymore. "Oh come on. I can't have some kind of cool transformation, like blood-red hair and a sweet outfit? Why not a cool bloodline limit or turning into some kind of battle god?"

Kyuubi rolled his eyes. "I don't walk around handing out magic eyeballs, being a Jinnchuriki doesn't make you a Saiyan; and how the hell am I supposed to change your clothes?"

The Jinnchuriki in question was currently in denial. "But you're the biggest, baddest demon out there and all I get is fur and tails? That's just dumb! There's got to be something you're not telling me."

'Hook…', the fox thought. Out loud: "Well, there is one way… but a puny human like you couldn't handle it."

The blond boy's azure eyes burned with determination, "Oh yeah? Try me! Bring it on, I can take it!"

'Line…', "Fine, like I care. All you have to do is add another line to a certain spot on the seal…" The demon guided Naruto through the process.

"Done!" Naruto shouted triumphantly.

'Sinker'

The Kyuubi no Kitsune was standing on the Hokage Mountain of Konoha, examining his new body. 'Blond hair is fine, but the blue eyes will have to go; too nice. Next order of business, I think someone had an idea about a sword that had a rather nice ring to it; and then a sweet new outfit. Less orange, more black and red…'

AN: Wow. This seemed a lot longer in a Word Document. Meh. Anyways. I kind of feel like Kyuubi failed at being a kitsune. I've heard they're supposed to be tricksters, yet all Kyuubi tries is "Come closer... RAWR". Yeah, subtle. This is also (obviously) a jab at too many other fics. I don't really mind if Naruto gets a new outfit, new powers, or new weapons, but why anyone would think Naruto could get a sword (or anything other than chakra) from a fox is beyond me.
