Your Limit is Your Mind
Chapter 1: Open Your Mind (Challenge)
I do not own Naruto or any other anime reference/character I use, if I did I wouldn't need to worry about a lot of things.
This story I have considered writing for some time and has gone through various reimagining, often including the use of another anime for references. As a result this story is the something that could be influenced by numerous animes along the way.

Falling…
Falling…
Falling…
These were the words to describe what was happening to a young Uzumaki Naruto, right now. The reason being, he had just been pushed off a cliff by Jiraiya of the Sannin, accurately dubbed Ero-sennin by Naruto, after failing to get the boy to draw of the beast's chakra that lay within him. The burden given to the boy at the day of his birth, barely an hour old at the time, an event that had cost him both his parents and in some ways his childhood, a time that many of us consider the simplest times of our lives.
For Naruto having the Kyuubi, the Nine Tailed Fox sealed inside of him had never been something easy to live with, especially since he had only recently learned of the burden at the ripe age of 14. Thinking about it as he fell down the wind rushing by his head he felt oddly… free, for once in his life he was free of people glaring at him, or lying to him. The people in his life lied to him all too often and he knew it, whether by their eyes betraying them, or from the obviousness of their lies. Naruto may have come off as an idiot to his peers, but they all seemed to forget that he was an orphan, who had taught himself how to live his life. No one ever took time to get to know him in detail, be it other children or the adults he only saw him as the feral beast that destroyed their home all those years ago.
How long had it been since he had a chance to be himself in his life, instead of the fool persona he had put on to protect himself, from people who would more than likely harm him given the chance seeing him trying to get stronger. They would likely believe that the beast was trying to force him to get stronger, so he could attack the villagers, what fool these people were. Even at the age of five people feared him, forgetting that Naruto was more afraid of them on some levels, which made sense, since 5 year olds rarely have killing stares on their back when they simply walked through the street looking for food and maybe a place to sleep.
Seeing his opportunity, Naruto decided to not give Jiraiya what he wanted, the man had said he'd train him but all he had done was perv at girls while trying to teach him a skill he had been swore not to use, effectively not helping him anymore than his actual sensei, who had gone off to train his Teammate Sasuke leaving him high and dry despite knowing his opponent had no qwarms delivering heavy amounts of damage to his opponent and crippling them most likely. It seemed life liked to deal Naruto a bad hand each chance it got, whether it be his home; a rotten small apartment, his team; that used and abused him during the D-rank missions and forgetting to make sure he was even paid for his work, which most of the time he wasn't, his training that no one ever helped with despite seeing him struggle with most things. All in all Naruto just wanted to close his eyes and have it all end, just to go to sleep and not wake up in this world that seemed to hate him.
'Sorry… Iruka-sensei… guess I won't be able to see you again… forgive me Hinata-chan… I guess I'm not strong enough to keep your promise.' Naruto thought this, as the wind rushed against his face; he wondered how deep the chasm was since he had been falling a while. But that could be explained since he was in deep thought, so much so that when he closed his eyes he fell into the recesses of his mind.
XBreakX
'SPLASH' was the sound Naruto made as he fell into the water, opening his eyes he found that the place surrounding him looked to be the insides of a sewer, with all the pipes along the walls with either blue or red leaking out at some points, the walls cracking with age and strain.
"Is this… my mind?" Naruto asked himself getting to his feet and looking around. "In some ways I'm not surprised, I always feeling down in the dumps, and I guess my mind reflects it." he said with a bitter chuckle. He then spotted a small light ahead of himself and began to walk toward it only to come to a gigantic set of iron bars that were thicker than any tree he'd ever seen, even the one in the forest of death. In the middle of the bars there was a large paper tag, with the Kanji for 'Seal' on it where he presumed the lock for the cage would be.
He walked to the edge of the cage and put his hand on the bars "So this is where you are." he stated aloud as a huge scarlet eye opened with a slitted pupil, before focusing on the boy. Before anything else a huge claw shot out toward him, but Naruto did nothing but turn his head as the large clawed paw of the great fox shot past him, leaving a gash across his cheek and neck, blood trickling out a little.
"Hello Kyuubi." Naruto gazed upon the form of the fox with slight respect and trepidation; he could see why people would remember this beast with fear. Yet at the same time he had been curious about the fox for some time due to how the fox had only been seen only a few times over the last hundred years or so. Twice attacking Konoha, and any other time as it roamed the Elemental Countries, yet people talk about it like it was just a mindless beast. Naruto wanted to see if rumours in this case were false, as animals usually were intelligent and only do things for certain reasons.
"So my jailer has come to visit me at last, what do you want child?" the deep harsh voice that was Kyuubi asked as Naruto rubbed his cheek and neck of the blood slowly spilling as the cuts began to heal.
"To be honest, just wanted to see if you were like you've been described, before I meet my end at the base of this chasm," Naruto answered turning round and leaning his back against the bars as he heard the sound of banging the fox not liking what it had heard.
"WHAT, DO YOU MEAN? MEET YOUR END! EXPLAIN TO ME NOW YOU STUPID CHILD!" the fox demanded, while Naruto didn't even flinch as he sat down at the bars.
"My trainer pushed me off a cliff, and I don't really want to save myself, it's not worth it in the end. My life really isn't worth all the trouble I had so far for being your container. But oddly enough, I blame the people responsible for my upbringing, rather than you, since I don't think you're to blame in some ways, but instead I blame whatever made you attack the village all those years ago." The fox went silent hearing the boy's words in the calm voice delivered in.
"What makes you think I didn't just choose to level your puny village? We Bijuu are proud of our power so why not just destroy the proclaimed strongest village to show off?" the fox asked him trying to get a better scope of how the boy's mind worked.
"Because you are intelligent, so as proud as you may sound, there would be no point in doing that and also from what I could find you have never just attacked unless provoked by other, like those two from lightning country when Kumo tried to get a hold of you. From what I could tell, between the battle with the Shodaime Hokage and Madara Uchiha which was the last time you were seen almost a century has gone by. All of this coupled with the fact that the reports of how you had resisted capture from other villagers for so many years, leads me to believe that you are not the so called mass of chakra but a living being that inherited great power. I also believe that you have been sealed away before you were in me, correct me if I'm wrong." Naruto said referring to the fact that when he ever had free time he had snuck into libraries to read up on the history of the fox, having been curious to how the Yondaime defeated it seeing as it was one man versus a Bijuu, something only the Sandaime Raikage cold attest to doing and he fought him man to beast with his Nintaijutsu.
"Chi-no Naruto, you clearly have a good mind in your head, if you were able to figure out that secret. You are correct, in the fact that the times I attacked your village I was under the influence of another figure, that man Madara used those eyes of his to ensnare my will and control me like a puppet. It was only the intervention of the Shodaime's wife Mito, that I was taken out of the equation when she sealed me away and those two continued their battle. For the rest of her years I remained stuck inside her seal having nothing but darkness clouding my vision, the only light I saw when I was being transferred into the next vessel that woman, Kushina. Her seal was worse since I was strung around by those goddamn chains of her and my limbs pinned down making me feel more like a caged animal. At my first chance at escape I took it… only in my desperation, I ended up controlled by the damn Sharingan again, hence the second attack on Konoha. It was only when the Yondaime, and a still living Kushina trapped me in a barrier were able to seal me into you… their son." The fox said a little hesitant surprising itself as it did so.
"I… I see, so he was my father after all, the resemblance between us was so obvious, I thought I was being delusional for a time. This answers a number of questions in my mind but it also creates more for me to seek answers too," said Naruto as he laughed at the first person to answer his questions is the one with him all his life, and the one who indirectly had been at the centre of it all just as he is. "Oi Kyuubi… do you want out, before I hit the bottom and probably die?" he asked as the fox's eyes went wide hearing what it absolutely never expected to hear.
"W-What… how can you ask that Naruto? With you as you are I don't feel any grievance in lending my strength to you. We both know I am somewhat responsible for some things in your life; I have caught glimpses over the years when you were sad and lonely at the orphanage, the street or that apartment. So why would you offer me my freedom?" the fox questioned as Naruto stood up and turned round to face the fix his eyes stained with tears.
"Because… you deserve to be free, and it's only right I give it to you as your jailer… I have the choice in that matter. You are the one that has been trapped over a century, and giving my life for yours seems a good way to finish," he said smiling at the fox looking happy at his offer to the fox.
"Naruto… you are… something else. But I may have a better idea instead of us both dying in this place…" he said as Naruto tilted his head in confusion.
"What is it…?" Naruto asked curious, seeing the fox's gentle tone when it made the option.
"While I was free, I was approached by a member of the Fox contract, like the other summoned beast clans in the world. I was offered a chance to join the clan seeing as they saw me with respect of my power and the number of tails, seeing how regular kitsune having nine-tails is a great achievement meant only for the wisest and most powerful. Naturally I agreed under the terms I would choose who would know of the scrolls location but also people who would be worthy of it. Not long after that, the countries began trying to capture me for my power and as such the fox clan has gone unknown for many years now. Naruto I offer a clan that would welcome you under my words, a chance for you to get strong and find the answers to your question and make your own goal in life, one that was not chosen for you by others. What do you say?" the fox asked Naruto who let the words settle in.
"Will you remain by my side, and be my partner as we train Kyuubi, you're the first to show me respect equal to that I gave you and I feel as though I could trust you with my life. If the answer is yes then I will take that offer and forge my own path in my life!" he said holding his hand out in the cage.
Kyuubi smirked, as it lifted its claw to Naruto's hand cutting into it but the blood weaving around his arm making a series of tattoos along it. "Then with this seal our contract to the Fox clan is made, when you wake I will transport us to their realm, where we can help you grow in so many ways Naruto. And I will be at you side partner, for now until our end of days," the fox said as its fur took on a new colour, pure white as the connection between the two was made.
"Seems as though we both might change in this ordeal Kyuubi… would you like a new name, since I don't doubt Kyuubi is a title in the fox clans rather than a name?" he asked as the Kyuubi just nodded smiling down at the boy who it had no doubt would make its life very interesting now.
"Call me… Shinsei." the fox said as Naruto faded back into reality and waking from his mindscape.
XBreakX
Naruto woke from his trip to his mindscape the tattoo forming on his arm before he body felt pulled by a force and he disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Meanwhile at the top of the cliff Jiraiya's mind was going a mile a minute since he was not feeling anything right now from the blonde he had pushed over the cliff. When he had first spotted the boy he immediately saw how the boy had managed to capture both the looks of his father Minato but also the impulsive personality of his mother Kushina. Seeing the likeness of the boy he had trained had decided to train the boy in a way that would make his father strong by teaching him the summoning technique and having him sign the toad contract like Minato had.
It was best that he learned from his godfather too, since trouble was brewing with Akatsuki and Orochimaru so it was in his best interests. The problem was that the boy seemed to have no ability what so ever in the technique itself. He wondered how it was possible how the boy who could learn the Shadow Clone technique in a night, was unable to properly channel chakra into the technique. Add to the fact the boy had not even tapped into the massive reserves of the Kyuubi to help the technique.
So in a spot of utter 'genius' he came up with a plan so that the fox's chakra would be forced out the seal now that, he had taken the blocker off. With all that chakra it wouldn't matter what technique was used as the power behind it would help him to win. At no time had he considered the ramifications of overpowering a technique or the utter lacklustre control the boy seemed to have over his chakra believing that since he graduated from the academy he would have been taught how to channel it into his techniques. Sadly, the so called Great Hermit Sage had been an idiot in his plan of shoving Naruto off the cliff as a means to force the Bijuu chakra inside him.
3 minutes had passed by, with no signs of Kyuubi's chakra, or a summoned toad or his blonde haired godson. "Oh Kami, Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" Jiraiya slammed his hand to the floor summoning a toad large enough to jump into the chasm and find his godson, hopefully intact and not a smear on the floor of the chasm.
Sadly, he would find no trace of him and when he looked at the contract scroll would see that Naruto's name was now black instead of red signifying that he was no longer apart of the contract most likely meaning dead, since there was no other option in his mind. Seeing that in all likelihood Naruto was lost Jiraiya grabbed his head as the thought of having to explain to his sensei where the Kyuubi jinchuuriki had gone and what he had done… he'd rather attempt to peek at Tsunade again.
XBreakX
When Naruto felt something soft beneath his feet, he opened his eyes again to gaze at his new surrounding that seemed to be a small forest that had normal sized trees and a small lake to the side of him. Although, he was also surrounded by several small foxes all looking at him with interest and confusion. One white fox with two tails walked over to Naruto giving it a sniff before going over to lick his hand albeit tentatively.
Naruto smiling lifted his hand a petted the small fox's head before scratching behind it's ears making it yip in happiness and the pleasant feeling it was getting from the petting, to which the other foxes saw as a signal so they all walked toward Naruto happily jumping on his chest as he took time petting them, all of them yipping in excitement of the new person in their home.
"Ara… so this is where they all were. Oh who are you?" said a soft gentle voice walking through the trees. She had blonde hair tied in a small pony tail, which was the same colour as her six tails each having a white to at each end as were her ears atop her head. She had a small nose and green eyes that offered kindness from what he could tell. Her form however was something else as she stood a tall 5. 6 and wearing a purple turtleneck that, but the front of it was stretched out showing her generous bust and a pair of black pants. (1)
"Oh hello, my names Naruto, I was sent here by my friend Shinsei a nine tailed fox after he gave me this…" said Naruto as he slowly took the little foxes off him and opened his jacket leaving him in a black shirt and revealing the summoning tattoo on his arm. Seeing the tattoo, the fox woman gasped putting a hand to her mouth in surprise.
"Ara, ara, we have a summoner after so many years, the elders were beginning to lose hope we would ever have someone represent us. Please what is your name young man?" she asked waking over and crouching down in front of him, so that Naruto was now at face level.
"Um… Uzumaki Naruto, miss…" he said as she smiled putting her hand on his cheek rubbing her thumb across his whisker marks electing a small shudder from Naruto.
"Shira… Shira Kimigaya, six tailed kitsune and sensei to the kits at our school, who all appeared to have taken a liking to you it seems." She giggled seeing how the little foxes had taken to sitting on Naruto's head and shoulders now seeing as he didn't seem to mind at all. In fact he seemed very relaxed with all the little ones around and on him.
"Hmm, I didn't expect for the fox summons to have a school system, but I guess you can't always be right in your presumptions." Naruto gave a small shrug as Shira nodded and motioned for her students and Naruto to follow her.
"Well, most kitsune need to learn about their powers at a young age as well as learn how to speak and change into human forms. Usually by the end of the school year they can all take human form and can speak pretty well Naruto-kun," she said as they came out of the trees to see the small cabin that was most likely the school, as he looked round Naruto saw many door integrated into the hills surrounding the area meaning they were the dens of kitsune families most likely. (2)
"It's beautiful…" Naruto muttered seeing the place as the light shined down from above and feeling the small breeze in his hair.
"Indeed it is, Naruto." The voice of Shinsei said inside his head. "I myself, never travelled here when I was able but looking now, makes me wish I had hehe…" he could hear a small chuckle through the link the two had made.
'I could get used to a setting like this, plus the locals seems friendly,' Naruto replied mentally glancing at the foxes happily enjoying their ride on his shoulder and also the ones curled into his arms since he saw no harm in carrying a few of them as well.
"I would definitely agree with you on that Naruto, hopefully this Shira will lead you to one of the fox elders so we can explain the situation and maybe discover a way so that I can come out of the seal to help in your training," the fox told Naruto who gave a mental nod.
"You say something Naruto-kun?" asked Shira smiling down at him as he turned to her.
"Just saying it's beautiful here… more than Konoha even. Shira-san is it possible to see the elder of the place I need to speak with them over this and why I'm here?" He asked politely as the woman nodded.
"I'll take you to them if you help me with the kits here; they tend to get restless at this age after all. But they seem rather calm like that, you must have a special talent for keeping the calm Naruto-kun." Shira opened the door and Naruto saw about ten cushions on the floor which was the total number of kits he was carrying/riding on him, but he also saw a desk at the front which was most likely Shira's.
"So you only have ten students, Shira-san? I would have expected there to be more honestly" Naruto said surprised as his class had at least thirty in it and that was one of a few classes.
"Kitsune don't breed that often Naruto-kun, we are being of longevity that can live well up to a millennia so having too many children would create an influx in our population. Besides having just these ten is work enough for me, all the other kitsune have important jobs in our realm. But if you take a seat I can continue my lesson for today, you might even be able to help me out too Naruto-kun." she said as he nodded and sat on one of the cushions the kits not moving from their positions from either his head, shoulders or arms.
From their Shira proceeded to teach the young kits about transforming into human forms, for kitsune once learned became second nature in their abilities, although hiding their ears and tails required more concentration in the art. Shira had Naruto demonstrate different way in which a human could look to help them grasp the concept better, although it was still a little early for them to begin practising it, for now it was theory.
XBreakX
As the kits ran off home after licking Naruto face goodbye Shira put her hand on his shoulder giving it a gentle squeeze "If your that good with the kits I may ask the elders if you can keep coming to help Naruto-kun and thank you for this. Now let's head to see the elders," Shira said leading him out the cabin/school and locking the door behind her.
By now the day in the fox's realm had come to sunset and the two made it to the main elder's house round about when the sun was halfway gone past the horizon. The house reminded Naruto of a Shinto shrine that could be found not far outside of Konoha that had been dedicated to the fox god Inari, although after events it fell into disarray and vandalism.
As they approached the front both got a wiff of something strong and made Naruto feel slightly dizzy as it hit his nose. "Oh dear… she found it again, I'll have to hide it better now…" said Shira with a sigh as they walked through the halls of the shrine the smell getting stronger until the came out into a garden area that had a pond filled with koi fish next to a zen garden.
On the side however was a pink haired kitsune who had white tipped ears and tailed of which she had seven. Her hair was very long and had been tied at a braid at the back being fastened down at the back or it with a purple ribbon. The kitsune elder looked as young as Shira did with her green eyes looking over to the two with a slight droopy look. She was wearing a pink and white themed kimono that was sprawled out across the deck alongside several empty bottles which Shira knew was very strong sake. (3)
"Ehh… Shira-chan what are you doing here, who's the kid" the elder kitsune asked hiccupping making her large breasts jiggle in her kimono that was slightly lose, practically giving Naruto a brief glimpse of her goods making him blush. This was taken notice of by the elder "Like what you see little boy, you can touch them if you like, just be gentle with me right now…" she said in a sultry voice.
"Onee-chan, don't tease Naruto-kun, he's here from the human realm, he has the summoning tattoo, the one you gave the Kyuubi of the human world all those years ago!" Shira said as the elders eyes changed instantly hearing her younger sisters words.
"I see… so this is who it picked, speak your name boy." it seemed that all the alcohol had been purged from the kitsune's body instantly at the statement by Shira and was now in business mode.
"Uzumaki Naruto, Genin Shinobi of… Konohagakure…" Naruto replied with slight irritation mentioning the villages name now.
"Hoe…an Uzumaki that is surprising although the fact you don't have red hair is more so. Where is the Bijuu I gave the contract to?" she asked as Naruto lifted his shirt revealing the seal that held the bijuu back from the world.
"Inside of me kitsune-san, this seal ties him to me until I can figure a way to release him from this prison. Kitsune-san, I have come here seeking help and training from those who offered to let Shinsei the Kyuubi be summoned by your clan, I wish that you would do me an honour of training me so that I can become stronger so that I may find the answers I seek in life and forge myself a new path that I may walk on with freedom," Naruto said bowing down on his hands and knees respectfully as he had never done so before in his life. He could tell the moment the elder kitsune's eyes met with his that they would be able to tell any lie and wouldn't hesitate to act if she spotted a lie.
The kitsune took a moment to really get a gauge of Naruto and his words "Raise your head, Uzumaki Naruto." she said and he did so as instructed. "Never before have we of the kitsune clan had a summoner in our time as none have been worthy of our strength, intelligence and gifts of which we could bestow on other. Those many years ago I approached the Kyuubi of your world as being a nine tailed fox is the highest honour in our clan, one that which only two holds here in this realm. I had hoped by giving it access to our contract we would be able to find us a summoner but alas we have been without one until you, Naruto-kun" she said as she walked over toward him not bothering to fix her kimono.
"The fact that you have the tattoo is proof enough that you are worthy of us, and humble that you do not believe that we should obey you like a common dog. For this I shall grant your wish of training Naruto-kun. Now my name is Hitomi Kagiyama elder sister to Shira there and a seven tailed kitsune. I now welcome you to the Celestial Forest the home of the Fox clan!" Hitomi said putting her hands on the boy's blushing face. "And such a cute summoner too I think I and my sisters will have fun with you hanging around here for a while, especially with this cute whisker marks of yours" she said rubbing them making the embarrassed boy purr and Hitomi grin, "Soooo much fun."
"Onee-chan let Naruto-kun breath, your embarrassing him too much." pouted Shira to her sister seeing steam begin to come out of Naruto's ears.
"Don't be jealous imouto just admiring our new summoner, oh and Naruto-kun if you can make a clone with Kyuubi or what did you call him… ah yes Shinsei's consciousness in it that should bypass the seal allowing his mind out but not his power," Hitomi told Naruto who nodded creating a clone that then henge into a white nine tailed fox.
"It has been some time Hitomi-san, but the years have been kind it seems," Shinsei said to Hitomi who giggled. "Although speaking to you this way feels odd since I never would have expected something like this to work." Shinsei said noting on the fact the shadow clone body he was using seemed convenient but such was the way of the world.
"Hehe I do look good don't I?" Hitomi said giving a small twill making her breasts jiggle about no doubt trying to make Naruto have a nose bleed, only for Shira to grab his head and put it to her chest to hide his innocent face from her sister. She was thankful that she was the worst for doing things like this. Her other sisters were bad, just not that bad. Unfortunately Shira's chest now had Naruto in it and Naruto was given a chance to feel the warm feeling that a woman's bosom seemed to offer when pushed into them, as such he fainted.
"Onee-chan look what you did, show some restraint!" said Shira giving a small pouty glare at her sister who just put her finger into her mouth looking as innocent as possible.
"But he's so cute, I mean look at him nee-chan, besides you were the one that knocked him out laying his head against those pillows of yours. Kimi is the only other who can boast the pure softness of her breasts, and even she admits defeat to you in that field." Hitomi said pointing as Shira who blushed remembering the times of sharing the bath with all her sisters after a particular bout of social drinking.
"I feel as though we should get back on subject here Hitomi-san, you can mess with the child later. However I will warn you not to take it too far with him," said Shinsei walking over to sit by Naruto as Shira laid him on his back, his head on her lap.
"He's a container isn't he? I learned about them from the seeing pool, Kaa-sama figured that was most likely the reason you have never visited or choose a candidate for our summoner. The world outside our own seems so stupid with what we learn from time to time. But if we are to consider training him Kaa-sama will need to let us see his memories you realize?" she said as the fox nodded as Shira began stroking Naruto's hair it being very soft almost like her fur.
"I do now… and he won't like you all learning, you, your mother or anyone really. As much as he'd like to deny he hates his past, the times when he was forced to take everything that was thrown at him, not knowing why. It is… his endearing quality, I myself found it strange as I watched through the old memories. Here was the boy who like his mother was a container but never told of the burden and when he did… he didn't hate me," he said shaking his head at the thought itself.
"But that he also saw what I never saw in Mito, Senju or Kushina. A look of understanding, no one else had ever considered me to be a living being with my own thoughts. Even Madara had the audacity to call me a mass of chakra only meant to be used. But Naruto, he saw me as who I was then Kurama… and when he nearly accepted freedom from the pressures, he offered me my freedom. It was for this I offered the contract to him but also allowed me to become my new self Shinsei." The white fox finished saying as Hitomi poured herself another cup.
"What a little trooper. Kaa-sama will like him, I can tell, and not just for being cute but also a heart of compassion and strong will. Even if he nearly accepted death to shoulder those burdens for so long and then offers the one seen as the cause a free pass. It speaks volumes about his character even without seeing his memories," Hitomi spoke while Shira continued to stroke Naruto's hair.
"Our sisters are going to love him, I can tell. Plus from what I saw earlier with him and the kits he might be able to calm down some of the more lively of our family Onee-chan," Shira giggled to herself while Hitomi and Shunsei grinned.
"I'm sure they will, care for a cup Shun-kun?" she asked the white fox who nodded.
"Please, I haven't really ever been able to enjoy many pleasures that humans seem to. Drinking seems to be fun for the most part," he said lifting the cup and toasting it with Hitmoi's.
"Unless nee-chan you can't hold it and end up smashed after three shots of the stuff," Hitomi teased her imouto.
"That's mean one-chan~" Shira pouted at the pink haired kitsune who shrugged drinking more from her glass.
"We'll let little Naruto-kun sleep, with all that happened with the contract he's probably gonna be out for a while. He'll meet the rest of the family at dinner probably, who's turn is it to cook by the way?" Hitomi asked.
"It's Yuni-nee-chan, probably tonkatsu as well since you know how she likes to show off her knife skills," said Shira growing more content of her stroking of Naruto's hair.

As Naruto began to open his eyes feeling a little groggy he saw that the ceiling of the place he was in was very different. Instead of the plain wooden roof of the temple he saw a ceiling that featured a floral design in various colours. The pattern looked soothing to Naruto as if it was an expression of freedom to whoever painted it.
However as Naruto began to lean up steadying himself with one hand he noticed that he wasn't alone wherever he was. Looking to his left of what he was laying on, presumably a couch he saw two new faces both featuring fox ears like Shira and Hiromi.
The first looked very young maybe similar to Inari's age from Nami. The little fox girl had blonde hair like Shira that was long and hung free but with a pink flower placed in it and also a pair of green eyes that held a stare of curiosity. She wore a white jumper, red skirt and a small pink scarf around her neck, white socks that went up to her knees and a pair of black shoes. She also had two tails swishing behind her. All in all she looked rather cute to Naruto as she stared at him her ears twitching slightly (4)
The other girl looked maybe a year or two older than the other girl also having blonde hair but with two bells tied around her two ears sticking atop her head and two long tails of hair hanging behind her, she also had a pair of amber eyes that had delight inside them if he was right. The girl had three tails swishing about behind her and also had a red skirt like the other. But unlike the other girl she wore a white shirt with short sleeves that exposed a lot of cleavage from a pair of breasts that looked a little big for her body's size (5)
"Nee… Onii-chan, are you awake now?" said the younger of the fox girls leaning over Naruto.
"And where are you from, and how come you don't have ears like us?" the other more developed girl asked as Naruto's mind began to comprehend why he was being asked questions. The chasm, ero-sennin, talking with Shinsei, the summoning tattoo and speaking with the other fox girls before falling unconscious in the comfort of Shira's bosom.
"Oh yeah… I'm awake. And before I answer can I get your names?" Naruto asked shifting so his legs were hanging over the side of the couch allowing the two girls to jump and sit beside him.
"Sure I'm Mika, and this is my imouto Fuka. Hitomi-onee-sama and Shira-onee-chan brought you here a while ago, and you've been asleep here for a while onii-chan. So who are you?" the girl known named Mika asked with a lot of energy and Fuka just looking at him and his whiskers.
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto. New summoner to the fox clan, I signed my name with a nine tailed fox and after getting here ended up chatting with an elder kitsune before falling unconscious for… unexplained reasons. And as to your earlier question Mika-chan, I'm a human so our ears are here…" he said pointing to his normal ears.
"Wow… a human, our teachers told us stories but I never thought we'd get to see one!" said Mika excitedly leaning into Naruto, inadvertently pushing her assets into his side to which Naruto rained in his blush seeing as he didn't know how old the girl was and didn't want to be like that snake man in the forest preying on small children.
"Onee-chan, should we tell Shira-onee-chan about Onii-chan waking up?" asked little Fuka looking to her sister.
Mika tilted her head making her bells jungle a little "I guess we should, come on Naruto-kun!" said Mika as she grabbed his arm and began leading Naruto forward into another room in search of their elder sister.
Leading him through the hall ways Fuka and Mika led Naruto into what he presumed was the main room of the home since there was a large dining table with a couple kotetsu at the end of the room currently having four kitsune sitting around it with tangerines.
The room was bigger than his whole apartment and featured a door looking out to a large garden and koi pond, which could be seen through the windows at the side that, also showed it was night time now. The room had a nature theme since the walls were a nice green colour and with maple flower patterns covering them too. The room had a few book cases that were completely stocked full of books that were probably fiction titles. There were doors connecting the room to others, one of which he believed we to the kitchen due to the smell coming from it, a room he guessed and another door to the hallway.
"Onee-chan, Naruto-kun is awake!" Mika shouted loudly and as a result all the kitsune either at the kotetsu or at the table turned their heads and stared at Naruto's the different coloured ears twitching and tails swishing back in forth in interest seeing him.
Naruto felt a little nervous with all the eyes on him before he noticed a white fox jump up from the table and head over to him, recognising it as Shinsei. "Good to see you awake Naruto. Why don't you introduce yourself to Hitomi and Shira's family?" he suggested to the blonde who nodded and looked to the other kitsune.
"H-Hello I'm Uzumaki Naruto, new summoner of the fox clan. Pleased to meet you and please treat me well!" he said bowing his head respectfully to the family and heard giggles around the room.
One of the kitsune stood up and walked over to Naruto. She had long silver hair with two stands tied off as they hung from the front reaching past her shoulders. Her hair matched her ears and tails of which she had eight. She had a very gentle expression on her face as she walked over and distinctive golden slitted eyes that Naruto was slightly distracted by. She wore a pink kimono that had blue trimmings and a white and blue obi tied round her waist. The sleeves were detached from the robe but had the same colour scheme as the kimono. The kitsune knelt down in front of Naruto and placed her hand on his head ruffling his hair and smiled. (6)
"Nice to meet you too Naruto-kun, I'm Sora Kimigaya, wife of Gin Kimigaya the head of the Kimigaya house. He's the one waving by the table," she said as Naruto looked to see a smiling man by the table, whose eyes looked, closed and had very short silver hair wearing a black and silver kimono. His smile seemed mischievous but kind like Sora's and was the father of all the girls if Naruto was right. "I'm glad you made it in time for dinner Naruto-kun, you can meet the rest of the family and a few who'll be helping your train here." Naruto nodded and Sora grabbed his hand earning a small whine from Fuka and Mika who knew they wouldn't get to sit next to him at the table now.
Sora led Naruto over to a space next to her so she was in the middle of Naruto and her husband Gin. To his right of Naruto sat a green haired kitsune that went all the way down her back. Her ears seemed a little longer than the others at the table. Her eyes were a dark red that just seemed to stare at Naruto with curiosity. She didn't wear a kimono but instead an orange top with no sleeves, and matching orange shorts that allowed her five tails to swish freely. She also wore arm and leg guards that looked to be tough and allowed for free movement along with a pair of katana strapped across her back.
"Um hi… I'm Tsubame fifth eldest, nice to meet you," said Tsubame not really knowing how to act to the new summoner. It was strange to have a summoner, and one as young as he was, sat at the family table, while everyone tucked into their food.
"Same Tsubame-san, though sitting down with everyone feels a little strange. I've never had a meal at a table with this many people." Naruto's words had most of the kitsune at the table, many frowning hearing him.
"Well you are here now, so feel free to enjoy the food Naruto-kun," said the voice of a blue haired kitsune who placed some of the food in front of Naruto, smiling as she did so. The kistune had bright yellow eyes and wore a lavender kimono, which allowed her three tails to swish behind her, and also had a yellow ribbon in her hair. "You don't need to feel awkward. So relax okay, oh and I am Yuni Kimigaya, 6th eldest daughter." She greeted Naruto, who felt a little more relaxed now at the warm expression. (11)
"Ah, thanks Yuni-san." Naruto took the plate and picked up a piece of meat, putting it into his mouth. Once he did he found it flavoursome and quite tender. "D-Delicious," he muttered, as Yuni beamed with pride and happiness that the new summoner enjoyed her cooking, something all chefs took a small pleasure in.
"Yeah, Yuni-nee is the best cook in the house. Even better than Okaa-sama," commented a red haired kitsune who had yellow eyes and had a tooth that poked out of her top lip. She wore a red kimono featured a flame design on it that matched her four flame red tails. The kitsune was also eating Yuni's food with gusto. "It's good that you like it. I respect any who can see how good Yuni-nee is at cooking. I'm Haruyo, pleased to meet ya Naruto-kun," said Haruyo with some meet sticking out of her mouth. (18)
"Onee-chan, don't talk with your mouth full!" chided a younger kitsune next to Haruyo who had the same hair colour but, had red eyes instead, and only three tails behind her. Her kimono was white but with a red flower design on it and looked cute with her cheeks puffed up at her sister. "Please forgive my onee-chan, Naruto-sama. She gets very excited when Yuni-nee-san cooks for the family. I'm Kyoko, seventh eldest of the Kimigaya family." Kyoko offered a small head bow to Naruto. (10)
"Please… don't call me sama, Kyoko-san. Just call me Naruto, and I don't mind you sister at all." He said, as Haruyo smirked, digging back into her meal without much dignity, making Kyoko sigh but nod.
"Alright Naruto-kun, but be careful with your food. Onee-chan tends to try and steal from other's plates." She told Naruto as a thwacking sound was heard and they turned to see Haruyo nursing her hand.
"Indeed she does, but she's also easy to catch in the act, so just smack her hand away if you spot her. And I'm Kimi Kimigaya, third eldest of the family; it's nice to meet you Naruto-kun. I hope we can get along nicely." The kitsune that spoke had fairly short blonde hair but her ears and seven tails had white tips on them. Kimi was clad in a black kimono that had gold edges to it and a night sky pattern along it. It also, was open at the front exposing a fair bit of cleavage to Naruto whose eyes were tempted to stare but resisted not wanting to be rude to the woman. Kimi, just giggled seeing Naruto, avert his eyes with a small redness in his cheeks. (12)
"Nice to meet you too, Kimi-san. I hope we get along too." Naruto glanced at Kimi's face, who winked at him with a small smirk on her face while she placed one hand on her cheek, managing to look very alluring to Naruto.
"You know with that hair, you could pass as one of us, Naruto-kun," commented the kitsune next to Kimi who like her sister had a fairly stacked chest. This kitsune however, had longer blonde hair, blue eyes and a sweet innocent expression as she tilted her head looking at Naruto with her 6 tails waving about behind her. She wore a simple white kimono that was open at the front but just enough so it would be comfortable, yet still exposing her cleavage. "I'm Megumi forth eldest of the Kimigaya clan. I hope we can be friends Naruto-kun," she smiled as he nodded offering a small smile of his own. (14)
Shinsei behind was chuckling at how the family was being with Naruto. He could already tell, that this was the best place for Naruto to improve mentally and physically, while also providing him with some nice girls in his life. "You'll become great here Naruto, I am sure of that," the fox commented but was nudged by the only other male kitsune beside himself, and Gin. The boy had white hair which was covered by a hoodie, which had openings for his ears. The male kitsune had blue eyes with red coloured shadow around them. His outfit was a kimono that strangely had a hood at the back of it and had a bell attached to his neck. This was Shiro, the only son of Gin and Sora "Seems like my sisters are taking a liking to him, huh Shinsei" the boy stated as the white fox nodded. (13)
"And the sooner he gets more comfortable around them, the better. Naruto needs the care of you family even if he won't openly admit it right now. Although I am concerned about what you mother said before." Shinsei remembered Sora's words about taking Naruto to the head of the whole Kitsune clans, Inari. Seeing how she was, a goddess of the kitsune, it was best that they went to see her and inform her of the recent development of the foxes.
"Inari-sama won't harm him. She cares for all living things in the world. Like Okaa-sama she may wish to see his memories and gage how worthy he is of us and the contract. It shouldn't be a problem though, seeing how you chose him as the summoner." Shiro's words helped Shinsei to relax a little as he laid his head down, on his paws.
While they were chatting, Naruto was introduced to a pair of sisters, Haru and Fuyu. Haru was a long haired, bright blonde kitsune with purple eyes, wearing a silver kimono, and had a cheerful expression on her face and four tails behind her. Fuyu had short silver hair, was a little taller than her sister and a grey kimono with four tails as well. Her expression was more calm but, still kind as they introduced themselves to Naruto as they ate at the table. (9)

As the meal went on Naruto felt himself relax a little into the funny feeling that eating with the Kumigaya clan provided. One might presume that it was the result of never eating in a real family setting and although, the Ichiraku and Iruka felt similar to what Naruto believed would be a family feeling, it was the place he sat now that felt… right, to him at least.
Unknown to him though, Naruto was being approached by an unseen kitsune a rather special one at that. Instead of being an actual fox, this one seemed to be made of living fire as it trotted through the hallway. Sniffing out its target, it headed for the garden area where Naruto was laying against one of the large stones.
"Naruto-sama!" the little fox called as the blonde turned to see the fire fox.
"Wow, who are you?" he asked a little shocked at the glowing fox who was unaffected by the fire that it was made of. The fox came over and bowed on its front paws before looking up at Naruto.
"Inari-sama has sent me to fetch you Naruto-sama. She requested an audience with you and I'm to guide you to her home. If you would be so kind as to follow me, and don't worry about the Kumigaya as Gin is waiting at her home for you as well." Naruto nodded seeing that someone important to the foxes was summoning him so got up and began following the small fox out the home and up the hill. The home looked similar to the Kumigaya's only small and made for only a couple of people.
Walking through the gate Naruto felt a strange pulse go through his body which made him stop for a moment. "Naruto-sama, is something wrong?" the fox asked him as Naruto shook his head.
"It's nothing; do you know where Inari-sama and Gin-san are waiting?" Naruto returned as the fox nodded and began walking forwards again leading Naruto through the house.
Naruto was led forward into a room that seem to have a small pond in the middle of it and had. The waters swirled round with a mirage of colours and started coming together to form an image. Curious Naruto walked over to look at the pool as the image he saw was that of a sleeping Hinata who appeared to be hugging a stuffed fox of all things in what he presumed was her bedroom.
'She looks cute sleeping like that.' Naruto thought to himself before a voice called out in the room.
"I see you found the viewing pool." Naruto jumped in fright and looked round for the source of the voice and heard a small giggle.
Sitting down on a large cushion was another kitsune only this was had an majestic aura surrounding her. Her very form seemed to radiate life into the room. The kitsune looked to be around Yuni's age if he had to guess but part of him made him think that wouldn't be right. She wore a scarlet red kimono but it was short so exposed her long silky white legs whose feet were covered by a pair of geta. One of her hands had a fingerless glove that held a golden kiseru (smoking pipe) while her other hand frame her face. She had deep amber eyes and had strange tattoo marks around her face that seemed to add to her beauty. Her hair was golden blonde and looked like the softest silk he'd ever seen.
"Hello Uzumaki Naruto… I'm glad I finally get to meet you." the woman's tone was sweet and almost maternal in how she said his name. "I am Inari, goddess of agriculture and head of the Fox clan. You and I hae much to discuss, so please take a seat and let me talk to you about what you being here means for us and you." (16)
XChapter EndX
Well this is chapter one… this story is complicated, enough said.
Updates will depend on how I feel, so consider this a challenge if you will.
Rules of the challenge are:
Naruto must be strong but not God-level more kage if anything.
Harem is a must pick any of the kitsune of the Kugimaiya you wish and maybe one or two from Naruto.
No Sakura pairings I don't like her character at all.
Hinata is in the harem as I do like her character.
Sasuke… depends on how you feel on that one but feel free to bash.
Jiraiya is to be bashed for at least an arc or two due to negligence over Naruto.
Naruto's skills may incudes references to other manga or anime series if you can think of a good way to tie it in.
Have fun with it and don't be afraid to be original with how you take Naruto.
Konoha Council Bashing is a must
Samui is in the harem since she does not get too much air time
Have fun with it
Until next time, bye.
