First Chapter of a new story, recovered from destruction through several acts against Nature and Technology themselves.
WILL UPDATE ONLY ONCE ONE OF MY ON-GOING STORIES IS COMPLETED.
Here We have Naruto as "Ninetails"...not the Pokemon, but the Boss Nine-tailed Fox from Okami.
I'll change the blond's "Mannerism" a little if you don't mind, just to warn you.

Ninetails reborn Chapter 1: The return of Ninetails, the nine-tailed demon.
In the Past – Time before even Legends could remember – Ark of Yamato -
Two figures were looking at each other at the end of a fierce battle, the mortally wounded one was a giant fox covered in scars, the other a pure-white wolf with red markings and an huge sword on its back shining in a divine light, the wolf was looking with a sad expression at the fallen fox, whining a little at watching the animal look in hate and defiance at the canine warrior.
"Why...why you do this to me? Is my wish to be a God that offensive?!" the battered, old fox said with a sad sigh as his body was slowly dissolving, blood and tears mixing on his face as he looked at the divine being in front of him.
"It's not that and you know it, your evil actions had to be stopped, and so your Master, I can't let you do as you please with this land," Amaterasu the Sun Goddess answered, sending her thoughts to the former Demon Lord without hiding her own sadness.
"Tch! You say that...but I don't believe you, I NEVER believed in you other gods. LOOK AT ME!" the old animal said, summoning the last of his strength to stand a last time so to better show his body covered in scars and his missing eye.
"LOOK. AT. ME! Even among Kitsunes I had been scorned! Abused! I had to kill every one of them, and even if I gained Power and Experience from that, you all had to mock me by making my power easy to take away! Why do you think I accepted Yami's offer of power? Because I am corrupted? Evil? NO! He had been the only one to listen to my prayers! You so-called Gods ignored my pleas of help!" the old Fox said in anger.
"Had we helped you, you would have grown Dependant on us, expecting us to resolve your problems for you, that is the reason why we all promised to never mingle with the affairs of mortals; your becoming a demon and THEN a Demon Lord was only the result of your own choices," the wolf-shaped goddess replied.
"I guess that you all use that excuse to justify your lack of help, don't you? By telling people that lie you others can feel free from the burden of your conscience!"
"What do you want me to do then?" the Goddess asked calmly, and yet with a touch of anger simmering in the back of her tone.
"I want you...to admit that all of this is at least partly your fault, I want to hear Amaterasu, the Mother of the Gods, say 'I am sorry!' and admit her mistakes! If you all can't accept me between your ranks as a deity, then I want to see you all be humble just once in your useless existence! To look in the eyes of demons and humans and bow your heads for your mistakes!" the fox answered.
"...I can't," was the only answer.
"Eh! Why I am not surprised I wonder...to think that I used to pretend to be a God myself...what an insult I was drawing on myself, at least we demons are honest to ourselves as well as towards others, you all are just whining kids afraid to be proven wrong...I pity you, all my anger towards you and the Gods just turned to pity...I hope you understand how sad this is. But you probably won't," that being said, the heavily wounded fox collapsed once more on the floor before disappearing completely, leaving behind a single flower that soon withered to ashes.
The only thing Amaterasu could to at that moment was looking down with a whine of her wolf body before moving towards her final enemy, the Embodiment of Darkness residing deep inside the Ark of Yamato.
What followed had been the most gruesome and difficult battle the Goddess had ever been faced with, twice drained of her power, the final time leaving her without even the smallest spark of Hope to retrieve the techniques and powers the other deities had given her.
As she looked at the imposing form of Yami towering over her now weakened body, now no more powerful than the one of a common wolf, she closed her eyes in wait for the final blow that would have killed her.
As these few seconds separating the massive clawed hand from hitting her elongated to eternities, a single thought rang in the Sun Goddess' head.
I am sorry.
As soon as those words were formed in her mind, the population of the Mortal Realm reached her, giving her back her lost power and more through their prayers, returning her to her full glory as the Goddess of the Sun, giving her the strength necessary to banish Yami once and for all.
As she and Waka moved to return to the Celestial Realm, Amaterasu looked a last time towards the Mortal Realm, a sad smile on her face as she remembered everything that had happened to bring her to her current victory.
A spark of gratitude though ignited in her heart as her last lesson had come from the most unexpected source, and with an almost disinterested-looking flick of her tail, the now once-again Powerful Goddess left a last gift to a misguided soul.
"I know you will use this properly, do not waste this second chance to be great; if the Gods really can't help the Mortals, then maybe a so-called Demon Lord will be able to protect them; now rest, one day you will return and take your rightful position as Protector of this land." the Goddesses said as the Ark moved far and far away from the Land of the Mortals.
Present Day – Chuunin Exam – Forest of Death -
"I am sorry, my boy! But I can't let you interfere with my plans. Five-pronged Seal!" a man with deadly-pale skin said while thrusting an hand covered in purple energy on the stomach of a blond boy with whisker marks, knocking him unconscious with the painful sensation of his chakra being sealed away.
"NARUTO! Damn it!" a boy with raven-coloured hair hissed angrily, watching powerless as the blond boy went thrown down from the huge tree branch they all were in.
"Do not worry, Sasuke-kun! I have not killed him, I want you to progress in this farce of an Exam until the end, here take this, it will go well with my other gift I gave you, Ufufufufufu! See you soon!" The pale man, Orochimaru of the Sannin said with a short laugh before disappearing.
"As if I needed an hickey from a mad-man...I am straight, damn...it!" Sasuke said weakly before collapsing, leaving only a scared pink-haired girl behind to take care of her fainted teammates.
Seal on the blond boy's belly -
The spirits of a blond haired man and a red-haired woman were watching in horror-filled fascination as the seal holding back a massive nine-tailed fox kept eroding, action followed by the gate of the prison itself that was getting covered in rust at a dramatic speed.
"What should we do, Minato? Why is this happening?!" the woman asked.
"I-I-I don't know! The Demon God Consuming Seal is a very delicate sealing technique, I have not used the "Normal" method to create a Jinchuuriki because for some reason the Fox had been too powerful for that...I-I even tried to split it in half but I failed...the new seal above it most have damaged the Main Matrix enough for it to collapse!" the man, Minato, answered with wide eyes.
"Then let's re-create it! You added part of us here for that reason, right?!" Kushina asked, growing more concerned at each 'whine' the metallic gate produced as the bars kept bending at strange angles.
"I don't think that you will be able, I am afraid," the Fox said as with a pained grumble it started to change.
His fur was slowly taking a golden color with each of his long tails sprouting a brush-like shape on the tip, all of them dipped in red ink with hoods and masks just below the brushes.
The central tail also had a necklace of red beads around the mask, with a last grumble of exertion a white mask with red markings, very similar to the marks of Amaterasu's divine appearance, appeared to cover his face.
"What?!" both spirits said in surprise.
"Body and power separated and now back together...it's time," droned the blond boy as he appeared in the Seal.
"So it seems, I can't wait to be back," the Fox answered as it broke free from the final restraints to move near the blond, the two seals holding back the gate burning to nothingness.
"NO! You will never hurt my baby!" Kushina yelled while moving in front of the boy.
"Why should I hurt myself? Step aside, Mortal, it's time for Ninetails to return!" the Kyuubi answered as his body erupted into cherry petals to enter the blond boy.
"Naruto!" Minato yelled in fear.
Unknown to them, inside the boy's mind memories old and new twisted, fused and completed each other until the two 'personalities' of the blond and the Ninetails became one, together and yet still separated at the same time.
"Yes? Huhuhu! Don't worry, I am fine, wonderful even! I just got a part of me back, I guess I reincarnated in two pieces, and although the other Eight 'Copies' of myself still going around are indeed a work of art...they are still copies, nothing compared to the original. And I mean myself." Naruto answered with a calm smile.
"Copies?" Kushina asked.
"Created at my Image by a man desperate enough to try everything in his power to stop an ancient evil...it seems Yami as well was just too stubborn to die, rest assured that I am in no danger, see? Perfectly healthy...even MORE Healthy than before if one has to be precise!" Naruto answered.
"Incredible...complete fusion, both merged into one without draw-backs...eh! I always knew that I was badass, this only proves it!" Minato said with a proud expression after studying the boy and the seal on his stomach.
"It all comes from MY side of the family, it's genetic Awesomeness, you just helped a little," Kushina said while waving him off.
"You wish, woman! It's the Namikaze blood flowing through his veins that makes him awesome," Minato countered.
"I take that you are no longer worried?" the boy asked with a sweat-drop.
"You seem and 'feel' fine, and I know you will do the right thing and follow your judgment as you did up until now, I just hope that "finding" your true-self has no changed you too much," Minato answered.
"I am pretty much both like I was before and yet different, just do not expect me to have people walk over me now that I am back into being Complete...it's strange though, is like, being a completely different person and at the same time being myself," he said.
"Follow your heart, it never failed you. We have to go, please be careful and do not become Evil...that's all I ask," Kushina asked while hugging the blond a last time while sobbing.
"I was given a second chance, I'll see what I can do," Naruto answered.
"Consider this, if you have been really reincarnated into our son, you are no longer who or what you used to be, you had new experiences and have a new life ahead of you, whatever wrong it had been made to you now is no more, you can once again make your choices..." Minato answered as he and Kushina finally dissolved.
"I'll see what I can do...Uh?" Naruto muttered while feeling something in his pockets that was not there before.
"A piece of paper?" he muttered while unfolding it.
"I am sorry...uhu! Better late than never, Amaterasu! I just hope that being into the body of a Mortal won't disrupt my powers, otherwise when my time will come we two WILL have a little talk, now let's see...you want me to protect these people...I hope you won't mind if I do this my way, I am still a bad-boy at heart, even if no more the Evil Demon Lord I used to be. All thanks to being reborn as a good-hearted human of course, that too your doing I can guess...tch! Stupid Goddesses taking away other peoples' fun at being Evil..." Naruto said, growing a snarl at feeling his 'old' drive to be Evil missing and substituted by his incomplete-self desire of helping others.
Good thing the two things compensated each-other, he actually shuddered to think about he, THE GREAT NINETAILS! acting like the style-less goofball he used to be before his reunion with his powers and spirit.
He had an image to maintain, damn it!
Real World – the next day -
"Well, well! What do we have here! A lonely girl with two unconscious boys, easy pick don't you think?" a girl with long hair and a forehead protector of Sound Village said with a superior smirk.
"Oh, Joy! A bad-girl-wannabe is harassing our teammate! Hoy, Sasuke-teme! Wake up! We have people that needs a lesson in manners!" Naruto said, waking up with a start before kicking the other boy awake.
"Teach them manners? I don't know if they can learn, aren't they too weak to do that?" Sasuke answered with a feral smirk, black markings already covering half his face.
"Wait a minute...let me see that," the blond said while pointing at the mark on the Uchiha's neck.
"Why should I? I feel great! There is nothing wrong in me," Sasuke said with a sneer.
"I know you do feel good, I am just curious," the blond replied.
"FINE! But then I want to maul the idiots!" the other answered with a growl-like groan.
"HOY! STOP IGNORING US!" the bandaged boy of the Sound Team said in anger, glaring at the Team of Konoha once saw the two boys continuing to ignore him, the blond apparently 'reading' the mark on the Uchiha's neck with narrowed eyes.
"Ah-ha! Here is the problem, the idiot who gave you the mark forgot a part of him inside you," Naruto said with a smirk.
"EEEEEW! Take that thing off! I don't want sick pedophiles inside my head!" Sasuke said with a grimace.
"Oh! That's easy, the mark is still fresh so it still has to 'stick'" the other answered, moving a finger around the seal on Sasuke's neck while muttering something unintelligible with narrowed eyes.
"So? Take that off, Dobe! I don't want to catch some strange illnesses from that creepy guy!" Sasuke said in annoyance.
"Another minute, almost done...voila! Better?" the former Demon Lord said while 'erasing' the part of the seals around the Mark containing the Soul Fragment before rewriting it without using a brush, thing that confused the other watching greatly.
"Yep! How did you do it?" Sasuke answered, even while still covered in markings he seemed more relaxed, more so than before the mark was even applied.
"Eh! I am an expert when it comes to drawing, a little Rejuvenation following a small exorcism and it was done!" the blond replied.
He may have been forced to take over Rao's identity for his EVIL! plans, but he had still read her collection of books in priest-related techniques whenever he had some free time...he hated to feel bored and those were the only books around, okay?!
"Don't know what you did nor I care, I just care that I now have a cool power-up and at least a Teammate that is useful!" Sasuke said, moving around his shoulders with a relieved expression.
"Fuck you too, eh!" The girl if the Konoha Team muttered.
"Such words, Sakura! I thought you loved him!" Naruto said mockingly.
"I took care of you two idiots so I pretend some recognition, even just because I was risking my life in defending you two against a full Team while you were sleeping," Sakura answered with an huff.
"FINE! Thank you for helping us, Sakura!" Sasuke said, rolling his eyes in annoyance.
"Yep, thank you, sweety!" Naruto added.
"That's better," the girl said with a superior smirk.
"That's it! I am gonna kill you three and be done with it!" the bandaged boy from Oto said with a grunt.
"Can I? You can take the one with the stupid hair-cut," Naruto said.
"HOY!" the second boy of the Oto Team yelled with a glare.
"And the girl?" Sasuke asked.
"Sakura, what a better show than a cat-fight?" the blond answered.
"...yes, that sounds good," the Uchiha answered with a nod.
"Assholes..." Sakura muttered.
"Oookay! Mummy-head, I am all yours, wanna fight?" the blond asked with a smirk.
"Get ready then! Decapitating air..." the bandaged boy was about to say when he abruptly stopped.
"Dosu?" the second male of the Team said.
"...Oh! Sorry! I forgot that I am supposed to call-out my attacks...Power Slash," Naruto said with a fake sheepish expression.
"What technique? You just moved a finger in front of you in a straight line..." the girl from Oto said with a raised eyebrow.
"Exactly," the blond boy replied.
"That can't be a technique, right?...Dosu? Come on, man! Answer meeeeeeAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" the other boy said with a smirk while grabbing Dosu's shoulder, only to scream in horror as the other started spraying blood from his chest before collapsing.
"For your information, he just fainted from both shock and pain, I held back instead of cutting him in two," Naurot explained, unconcerned at seeing the Oto girl hurry-up to patch her teammates so to stop him from dying.
"Can I go now?" Sasuke asked eagerly.
"Yes, but do not kill him, just in case their Village tries to throw a stink even when knowing the mortality rate of this Exam," Naruto replied.
"Like this is not as funny, but okay." the Uchiha said with a pained nod before disappearing with a burst of speed, catching the Oto boy in an head-lock and using that as a starting point for the beating.
"Eh! I guess it still drives him violent, maybe is part of the effects of the thing," Naruto mused.
"S-Shouldn't we stop him?" a very pale Sakura asked.
"Naah! Let him vent his stress, once done we will talk with him, he may attack us too if we get between him and his prey,"
"And if he tries to kill that boy?"
"THEN we will stop him," the blond answered.
"Oh! Okay then,"
"What was that thing you did with your finger? It left behind a small red trail and then that guy got cut," Sakura asked curious while ignoring Zaku, the Oto boy, pleading for Sasuke to stop.
"A Celestial Brush Technique, whatever that guy did to me with that glowing hand, now I can do this," the blond answered with a shrug.
"So you can do stuff with a gesture and Sasuke-kun can become super-strong, and slightly violent...what about me?" she asked.
"Probably next time," he offered with a friendly pat on her shoulder.
"That's soo unfair!" Sakura moaned with a pout as Zaku passed near her flying after being thrown by the Uchiha.
"Okay...okay...I am calm now...the rage stopped," Sasuke said panting as the flame marks on his skin returned 'inside' the seal on his neck.
"How do you feel?" Naruto asked.
"How do I feel?...calmer, light-headed and with a more clear view of life...Sakura? Stop acting like an horny whore to attract my attention and cut that hair and MAYBE, hear me well, MAYBE I might consider dating you...Naruto? That jumpsuit sucks, your dream of becoming Hokage will be impossible until the very last bigoted, narrow-sighted bastard of this Village died, and know that I know and don't care about that furry mass-murdering killing machine sealed in your stomach. That and I am actually kind of jealous about the ludicrous amount of chakra the Kyuubi gives you. Another thing, Itachi is a sick bastard with issues that should have been kept under watch by a professional psychologist while wearing a straight-jacket instead of made ANBU...that and my father was an utter megalomaniac that mistreated me my whole life by feeding me bullshit about how awesome my brother was and how much of a failure I was instead of hugging me and acting like the other fathers I saw while growing-up, all backed-up by my spine-less mother that never had the courage to act-up against the son of a bitch she married." Sasuke answered.
A full minute of silence fell in the forest at those words, immediately followed by Naruto's awed whistle and Sakura nervous coughing fit.
"Wow...feeling better now?" the blond asked.
"Sigh! Very much so, yes. I guess that thing took-out every dirty thought I ever had, never thought to be bottling-up all that to be honest," the Uchiha boy answered.
"Consider this, I removed a fragment of someone else from there, probably it was a way for the mark to slowly corrupt you, without that, I guess it just forced you to feel everything ten-folds in an instant without a proper 'guide'...sorry," Naruto answered with an embarrassed expression.
"No-no...it's okay, going momentarily crazy had a good effect instead, slowly it would have meant me snapping and doing something foolish or down-right moronic, like this at least I had to face all the problems I always shoved in the back of my mind all at once," Sasuke answered, waving the blond off.
"About the jumpsuit, it was on sale, I have not a lot of money and kind of like orange," the blond added with a blush.
"Define 'not a lot', please," Sasuke asked.
"Like in 'barely enough to eat', luckily I like Ramen, it's both delicious and cheap," the other answered.
"Kyuubi? And what about your parents?" Sakura asked.
"Orphan since birth, never knew them," the blond answered.
"Ah...sorry," the girl replied in embarrassment.
"It's okay, I don't need pity, I can take care of myself," Naruto answered with chuckle.
"Okay then, let's go towards the Tower, I don't think that girl will attack us," Sasuke said, pointing at the shaking girl with the Oto forehead protector that nodded rapidly at his words.
"Yeah, we better, it's getting dark," Sakura said.
"And...dobe?" the Uchiha said.
"Yes?"
"My door is always open if you need...if you want, that is, I am not forcing you or anything," he said, sounding almost shy.
"Thanks, and sorry about the thing about huge reserves of chakra, if it helps I have a disgusting control over it," the blond said.
"It does help actually," Sasuke muttered.
"We can train together to get stronger if you want," the blond asked.
"Do not push your luck,"
"Oh..."
"...But yes, at least we'll see if 'friends' is really something we can reach as a Team," Sasuke said with a sigh.
"Can I join?" Sakura asked.
"If you want," he answered.
"Oh! Before I forgot!" the pink haired girl said.
"Yes?" Sasuke asked, growing wide-eyed once she slapped him.
"I was acting like that because getting desperate in attracting the attention of the boy I like, call me whore again and I will show you what they taught us in the Kunoichi Classes, and it was not about flowers or tea!" She said with narrowed eyes.
"But I was not in the right state of mind to notice girls! I am working on my issues now!" the Uchiha boy said in offense.
"Why did you not pull out that strength before?" Naruto asked.
"Faced with a full Team after "fighting" a sick maniac and watched both teammates getting struck with strange techniques, discovered why my blond teammate is the pariah of the Village and watched my other Teammate beat another guy half to death with his bare hands while crying like a bitch...I HAD TO grow-up a little to withstand all this," she answered.
"Oh, all that," he said.
"Yes, all that, thank you for destroying the last remnants of my innocence as a young girl," Sakura said bitterly.
"Welcome to the world of Shinobi; I watched my Clan getting massacred by my psychotic brother and then forced to relive it through illusions," Sasuke said mockingly while presenting his hand.
"Never known my parents, shunned by everyone and without friends and holder of a giant Fox that almost eradicated the Village, nice to meet you," Naruto said with a smirk, presenting his hand as well.
"Go fuck yourselves, you two!" she answered before marching towards the Tower in the middle of the forest.
"I preferred when she was all sweet and fan-girlish," Sasuke muttered.
"Meh!" Naruto answered with a shrug.
"MOVE YOUR ASSES!" Sakura yelled from above her shoulder.
"Getting an hard-on?" the blond boy asked with a smirk.
"That's confidential, dobe." the Uchiha boy muttered while trying to adjust his pants to hide his 'reaction'.
Forest of Death – Tower – Emergency Office of the Hokage – two days later -
"Gone! The Kyuubi is fucking gone! It was true!" the Hyuuga in the office said in horror.
"CALM DOWN! Jiraiya?! Tell me that this idiot is wrong!" Hiruzen said with a disturbed tone.
"The seal...well, the seal is empty, sensei. It's now pretty much a simple tattoo," the white haired man said nervously.
"I already told you, whatever that blond bastard did, it fused the furball's chakra with mine...I think I saw that guy somewhere already, but I don't remember," Naruto said with a groan.
It was the lie he choose to use, even if he hated to call himself "furball", but it was the term his Incomplete-self used, so it had to do.
"Well, I DID teach him how to be a good Seal Master, and he had always boasted about being the most awesome one ever...I guess this does prove it," Jiraiya said with a weak smile.
"Any negative effects?" the Hokage asked.
"He had problems walking on trees, so maybe with that chakra becoming his, his control went down the drain, other than that he seems okay, Hokage-sama...even better than before actually, he seems more focused and less...sorry Naruto, an idiot," Sakura answered.
"That's okay,"
"Nothing else?" Hiruzen asked.
"Well, there is that awesome thing he does with his fingers where..." the girl started saying before giggles erupted around the office from the men in there.
"Not that, old man! I got some nice tricks, but I can show them during the Exam," the blond said with a groan.
"Sorry, sorry! What about Sasuke-san?" the Hokage asked while masterfully hiding his blush.
"Well, for one having a Cursed Seal implanted on him, he is even saner than what his Profile described before, so probably the thing and his own mental problems canceled each other," Jiraiya answered.
"Hey!" Sasuke said offended.
"Here said that he had 'A fixation for his Older Brother bordering on the sexual...'" the Hyuuga in the room said while reading from a folder.
"It was hatred, not sexual tension! I still want to see him die, but now I decided that I won't give him the satisfaction of being the ONLY thing I think about," Sasuke corrected bitterly.
"...'Repressed anger...'" the Medic-nin said while he kept reading.
"No more repressed, he had beaten-up a guy from Oto while crying about how sorry he was to not have been able to protect his mother, so I guess he took it all-out," Naruto said.
"You managed to hear him over that guy's screams?" Sakura asked.
"I have good ears," the blond replied.
"...'Fear of crows', 'Sexual attraction towards fire', 'Unhealthy interest in tomatoes'...and'Incontinence'" The Hyuuga said, closing the Profile once finished.
"I was ten and had wet the bed...I can't see why making a case out of that single incident," Sasuke muttered with a blush.
"Thank you, Hosoi, you can go now," Hiruzen said.
"Hokage-sama," the Hyuuga replied with a bow before leaving.
"Now the truth...what happened to the Cursed Seal?" Jiraiya asked with narrowed eyes.
"What happened? I felt Malicious Intent coming-out from that Seal, so I grabbed it and took it out, it ceased to exist as soon as it exited the Mark," Naruto answered with a shrug.
"Malicious intent? And you just 'took it out' of the Seal? Just like that?" Hiruzen asked.
"Kyuubi?" Naruto offered with a shrug.
"...Sigh! Yeah, probably a side-effect of the bastard beast getting absorbed, pass by Hiruzen-sensei's office once done here, boy! May as well start training you to see if the absorption gave you some nasty problems that have still to show-up, like that we should be able to resolve any problem before it turns into an issue bigger than it is," Jiraya said with a defeated sigh.
"For now join the other Genin for this part of the Exam, we will deal with everything later, like the new rounds of meetings with a counselor for Sasuke-san and a new studying of the Cursed Seal he has," Hiruzen said.
"Hai, Hokage-sama!" the three young Genin said with a bow, leaving the small room rapidly.
"Did you ever have the impression that the Idiots are the ones in charge here? I love the old man like I would with my grand-father, but he accepted everything just too fast once blamed the Kyuubi," Naruto asked.
"Idiots in charge? For some reason...no, I am not as surprised as I think I should be..." Sakura muttered in answer.
"Me too," Sasuke added.
Back in the Office -
"What do you think?" Hiruzen asked in worry.
"The kid took it very well, poor boy...he is in denial about turning into an half-human-half-Biju Hybrid..." Jiraiya muttered sadly.
"He doesn't know or accept that the Seal collapsing had changed him..." the old Hokage said, covering his face to let out a small sob.
"That Hyuuga freaking out at seeing not-human Chakra in his system sure could have been a little more discreet in calling us, poor Naruto must have been shocked at seeing an adult act like that,"
"Are you sure Minato had not planned this since the beginning?" the old man asked with a pained sigh.
"No sensei, he probably wanted the seal to slowly absorb the Fox Chakra so that in several years the Biju would have been truly dead, Orochimaru must have disturbed the Seal so much that it shoved the whole Fox in the boy's Chakra Coils in one go, it's probably thanks to the regeneration the Kyuubi gifted him with if he was able to endure the change," the Toad Sage said.
"Are you gonna stop here permanently, Jiraiya?" Hiruzen asked.
"Yes, sensei...after this close-call I can't risk him to die because I wasn't here to help him, it was a miracle he survived and I can't expect another to happen. I'll alert Tsunade, maybe by telling her this she too will come here, even just to be close to him when one day Naruto will discover the truth, he is still in denial and believe he just 'added some chakra' to his own..." The Spy Master replied with a new sigh.
While the two powerful men were drawing-out a wrong conclusion after another about the whole ordeal, up in the Heavens a certain Sun Goddess was quietly giggling to herself at seeing how Mortals were dealing with the Ninetails' return.
"You sure are taking this in stride, babe!" a small being said while jumping near her.
"Hello, Issun. To answer your question, yes, I have faith that between his old-self and his real-one's ideals, Ninetails will do great things, good ones even, he has the heart in the right place so I know he will become the right Guardian for those people, he will just need to admit that under that bad-boy attitude he is a good guy...well, that he is one now at least," she answered with a gentle smile.
"We'll see, in the meantime I'll be in your oh-so-soft-and-warm cleavage if you need something, Ammy!" Issun the Wandering Artist said while taking a dive towards the very-generous chest of the Goddess before her two fingers grabbed the back of his tiny vest, taking the microscopic young man at eye-level to glare at him.
"What did I tell you about doing that?" she asked with a growl.
"OW! Come on! It's my birthday!" Issun pleaded with big, watering eyes.
"You said the same thing yesterday AND last week as well..." she answered with narrowed eyes.
"Please?...pretty please?" he pleaded.
"Sigh! Only five minutes, then I don't want you to do this for at least few months, this means sneaking in any other part of my clothes as well!" Amaterasu answered with an annoyed huff.
"YAY! Thank you! Long live the great mother of Gods Ammy!" Issun said happily, jumping in her cleavage with a joyful weeeee! scream.
"Why I have to be the good Goddess? It's not worth it!" she muttered in defeat.
And this is one, don't know how it will go on, it's an experiment, I hope you enjoyed all the same.
See you around ^ ^.
