Hello all, and welcome to "Porcupine Stew", my scrapbook of sorts for half-baked (or half-cooked, w/e) ideas of stories I could potentially write. I will include various details about the snippets in question, so you, the reader, get a better idea of what the potential stories might end up as. Just remember to leave a review if you want to see one of these ideas fleshed out, and above all have fun reading!
Without further ado, I present to you the first idea in this soon-to-be collection:
Story Idea/Synopsis: During the process of gestation, the Kyuubi no Kitsune meddled with Uzumaki-Namikaze Naru(to/ko)'s DNA, resulting in the birth of an (potentially) superhuman Shinobi/Kunoichi. What would be the consequences down the line of such an act? What would change? What would remain the same?
Idea parameters: Most likely a Super!Naru(to/ko) ficlet, though there could be room for debate on that depending on what is changed in the gestation process (read: added bloodlines or simply bodily enhancements)
Probable pairings: Eventual Naruto/Fem!Kyuubi or eventual Fem!Naruto/Kyuubi
Potential Genres: Romance \ Adventure \ Hurt/Comfort
Reasoning: Basically the way I see it is that Naruto or Fem!Naru will teach the Kyuubi how to behave as a human over the course of the story, eventually resulting in a romance between the two. Of course, seeing as this idea follows somewhat closely to canon, at least with the idea that the Bijuu are physical manifestations of chakra, I have labeled the Kyuubi no Kitsune as an 'it' in the excerpt below, seeing as it could go either way in the possible pairings. There are a number of ways I can see myself writing out this kind of ficlet, but, as this is not a fully fleshed-out idea yet, I leave it up to the reviewers to decide if/how I continue this idea.
Potential Excerpt: Deep within the confines of the Shisho Fuin situated around one Uzumaki Kushina's navel, a great beast was hard at work. Known simply as the 'Kyuubi no Kitsune' to mankind, it was a creature of great power; power far grander than the human mind could ever hope to comprehend.
But despite its massive chakra stores, the Kyuubi was a docile being—it would only counterattack if confronted, never being the first to launch a strike. Of course, such passiveness had been documented again and again throughout the course of history, yet mankind continued to lust after it and its brethren's power, hoping to use such energies in battles against their fellows.
Regrettably, that very desire had become the reason the Bijuu were now feared; in the past humankind had attacked, hoping to subdue the creatures, only to suffer the backlash of their own actions. This was repeated, time and time again, until the Kyuubi and its fellows became more known for their destructive power than their indifference towards human affairs. But that is neither here nor there; the bijuu themselves are not the focus of this story—at least not the Ichibi through Hachibi. The Kyuubi, however, plays a vital role from beginning to end.
You see, the nine tailed beast was currently in a unique position; it was in a cognitive state and it was aware of its container's condition.
To put matters bluntly, Uzumaki Kushina was pregnant, and the Kyuubi was awake enough to know about it.
Of course, there were a myriad of ramifications to go along with such a coinciding pair of occurrences, but foremost among the lot was the fact that only someone with Uzumaki blood flowing in their veins could hope to become a container for the Kyuubi. Everyone else would die shortly after the sealing was performed due to overexerting their chakra coils, thus re-releasing the beast back into the wilderness after a varying amount of time.
Unfortunately, seeing as Kushina was the only Uzumaki left in Konoha, the Kyuubi was painfully aware of its limited choice in terms of future containers.
Hence the reason the great beast had started meddling with the process of human gestation.
After all, this way it could make its (potential) new 'home' as livable as possible while simultaneously adding a few enhancements to the embryo's genetic code. [...]
