This story is based on my own idea. Any possible reference to anything else exept Naruto/Naruto Shippuuden is coincidence. English is my third language so there will be a lot of mistake, so if there is anything you dont understand feel fre to write to me, and i am happy if anyone want to be my beta reader, to make shure i dont make as much mistake as i do alone.
I dont own Naruto in any way shape or form.
Six year after the Kyuubi incidence a young blond boy walks on the streets of Konoha alone, when he hears some other older kid laugh, but this laugh was diferent. It has had an evil intent in it. When the young boy heard it, he run there and saw some older boy attacking a little fox.
"What are you doing, to that little fox?" asked the boy on an angry voince.
"Just teaching it a leason about coming neer the vilage." answered an older boy, befor he kicked the fox hard enough to send it to the neerby wall.
"Leave him alone!" said the blond on an angryer voice, while readied himself for a fight. The one who answered him, was a ten year old boy, who picked on him a few times befor. He had black hair and was avareg hight, and build. Next to him was an other boy, same age, a little bulkier and shorther than the first one. On the other side, of the first one, was a blond boy. Same age, and same hight as the first, but a bit skinier.
"What will you do if i dont? Run to your mother? Oh no, you have no mother." Said the first again, while looking at the young boy. than got suprised, when he saw the boy was stending in some kind of fighting stance. "What? Do you want me to kick your butt to?" aked, while the other two just laughet. "Teach him a leason!" orderd his two partner.
They don't needed to be told twice, to do it. They just went for the boy, while the leadre went back for the fox, but the young boy had none of it. Not today at least. He let his anger flow through his body, and run by his attackers, and kicked the first legs from under him, then kicked him on the back. Aftert thet the other two charged at the young boy again, but today he was ready. He evaded the first punches, and kicked the bulky boy on the head while he was falling forward. After this the skinny boy looked around himself, and saw he has no chance to beat the boy, after what he did. Never before that did he see the young boy fight back, let alone beat them down.
"P-please I-I will leave, just…" said the last one.
"Run!" said the young boy, and the older boy did as he told. After that the young boy picked up the little fox, and run with it, to the only possible vet who will help the fox.
Half an hour later at the Inuzuka estate
The young blond run, like his life depend on it, to the best animal hospital in the vilage, and the only one, what will help the fox in his hand. He ran in, and jumped ont he reception table.
"Please help him." said the despret blonde, and the woman at the reception table grabed the fox, and went in one of the doors. Inside was an other somewhat older woman, who at the moment had no other patiente.
"Who brounght in this little fox cub?" asked the woman while the receptionist paced it on the table.
"It was me!" said the young blonde who folowed the receptionist. "Three older boy attacked it, and I wanted to help him. Please heal him." asked the boy.
"I will do what I can, please wait outside." said the vet, and the boy went outside. The healing took an hour, after what the vet come out. "Now you can come in." Said the woman, and teh boy folowed her in. "What is your name?" asked the woman.
"Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto."Answered the boy.
"Did you rised this young fox, ot is is a wild one, who got into the vilage?"
"I think he got into the vilage."
"I feared as much… you see we need to keap him for two weak to to make shure he is okay, but after that i am not shure if we can release him back to the forest. He is already was in the vilage for a while which mean he doesn't used to hunt for himself."
"W-what do you mean?" asked Naruto while worried for the little for.
"What i mean is that this little fox will need an owner, but there isn't to many people who will take in a fox." said the woman, then waited a little. "Coud you bring here one of your parents, so you may be the one who can be his owner."
"I… I dont have any parents…" said Naruto, on a low voice.
"Do you have any caretaker? Someone who make shure, you have a home, someone who give you the money, or someone who look after you?" asked the woman on a sad voice. After the Kyuubi attack all of the orfanages are full, and because of that there are a lot of child living on the streat or in abandoned building. The luckier ones got a caretaker who sometimes look after them, and paying for all of their food and bills, but because the numbers there isn't too many,
"Yes I have." Answered Naruto happily.
"Can you bring him here? He will need to write a document, to make sure everything is okay."
"I am not sure if he can come here." said Naruto sadly…
"Well asking never hurts. He can come in any time he can, not just when you can bring the fox home." this made Naruto less sad.
"Okay." answered Naruto, then left the animal hospital, and went home.
The next day
Naruto woke up after 9. He got dressed, had breakfast, and went to his caretaker, the fastest way possible. OF course the woman in front of his caretaker office did not liked that he come here, but after a little arguing he got into the office.
"Jiji!" Run up to him Naruto.
"Hello Naruto. What can I do for you?"
"Yesterday I found a hut fox. I brought him to the Inuzuka animal hospital, where they said, he will not be able to hunt, and he need an owner, and asked me, if I can bring you there, so I can be his owner."
"A little fox?" asked the man from Naruto, with a thinking look on his face. "Are you sure you can rise him? And what will be with him, when you enter the academy?"
"There are others who bring dogs to the academy. That should not be that strange!" said Naruto not understanding the problem
"Well they train those dogs, to be theirs partner, when they become ninjas."
"Then I train him, to become my partner!" said Naruto with a flame in his eyes. The man chuckled, then got a scroll and wrote something on it, for a while.
"Now you can bring this to the vet, who healed the fox, and she will let you bring the fox with you home, and maybe teach you something what you need to do, if you are sure, you want to rise the young fox." said the man whit a smile on his face.
"Thank you jiji!" said Naruto, while he hugged the old man, then run of.
"Hokage-sama are you sure it was a good idea?" asked a voice from the shadows, after what he appeared in front of, the old man.
"Maybe not, but who know? He was able to save that little fox, so that prove that he cares for it deeply."
"What do you mean? He said he found it." asked the ANBU agent.
"I had a little free time and saw it in the crystal ball, how he defeated two academy student and scared of the third, while they hurt, the fox."
At the animal hospital.
Naruto run happily to the hospital, and went to the vet who healed the fox. Of course everyone was shocked when they saw, where the scroll came from, wat Naruto brought them.
"W-who did you gave this?" asked the vet.
"Jiji." come the answer from Naruto. They were taken back somewhat by the answer, because they waited for a more logical one.
"And who is your Jiji. I mean you know how others call him, don't you?" asked the receptionist, who was with them.
"Hokage-sama." answered Naruto, like it was an everyday matter.
"I see." 'Who the hell is this boy? There need to be a reason why the hokage is his caretaker.' after this, they started to fill up his papers. "Well the first thing we need to know, what will be his name?"
"What about Kurumi?" asked Naruto the little fox, who was in a cage, so he does not try to run away before, he is healed, but the little fox did not liked the name. "You are right that is a girly name… what about Kurama? Similar, but it's a man's name." The little fox become happy and exited.
"You to understand each other pretty easily." Said the vet, before searched for a scroll. "Do you know how to read?"
"I learned some, but I am still learning." answered Naruto. "Jiji said the sooner I start the better, so he gave me books that teach how to do it."
"What about you give this a try?" asked the woman, and give him the scroll she was searching for. Naruto looked it, then opened, to see what he can do. He had a thinking face for a few minute.
"I think I could use a little help." answered Naruto, while he wasn't sure he can ask for the help.
"Okay then…" and the vet explained and showed everything in the scroll. It was a scroll that explained how someone can give chakra to an animal, to force it to create and expand its chakra reserves. "Now give it a try, but just slowly."
"Okay." and with that Naruto started to use the technique. It wasn't easy for him. Slowly he started, and saw that Kurama for a few minutes got stronger, then back to the state he was before. "Did I do okay?" asked Naruto with a little worry in his voice.
"Yes, you did. Now come back after two weak, and you can bring Kuraka home with you, but before that you need to know one more thing."
"W-what is that?" Asked the little Naruto on a worried tone of voice.
"The type of fox, Kurama is a strange one. His type of foxes become affected from the Kyuubi, which made them live a very long life. It is possible that he will live longer than you." said the vet.
"That is… good?" Asked Naruto not understanding why was this important.
After that Naruto left, and made a few round around Konoha, to get stuff, to the fox, what was in the scroll he got earlier. After he got everything he practiced the technique he needed to use on Kurama to make sure he can use chakra later.
Two years later
Naruto and Kurama was academy students. They had the perfect connections. They not even needed to talk to understand each other after eating, sleeping, training and getting into trouble together each day. They entered the academy the day Naruto become 8. Of course they head teacher Iruka had a problem with Kurama being in class the first that, but after that Naruto brought in the papers he got from the vet, that showed Kurama is a Ninkitsune (ninja fox) in training, so it's natural for him to be there. After that they went to school together, and while Naruto was not interested in the things they taught there Kurama's natural curiosity got the better of him, and learned everything they were talking about, what sawed Naruto from a LOT of bad grade., but today was interesting. They learned they first jutsu. It was the transformation jutsu. Only two students were able to do it, in class. The first was Uchiha Sasuke, what did not surprise anyone, did it on his very first try. The second was a lot more surprising. It was Kurama, who used his tail to form somewhat similar things to the hand seals we use. On the first try it was a bad transformation, and drain a lot more chakra than it was needed, but the transformation did not fail, so he was the second best. The only problem was that it drained him dry, but surprisingly after being next to Naruto for a few minute, his reserves were refilled, and after that he did an okay transformation into a dog. Everyone was surprised, that a fox is able to use a jutsu, but after being Naruto's classmates it maybe should be normal. After that lesson the school was over for that day. Naruto and Kurama raced home, and they reached the door together. After two year of constant training, they become fast, and more agile than most, and on top of that they strength was not bad at all. They hit just as hard, as an average genin, what is not a small feat for an 8-year-old boy, and a fox. After they got in Naruto started, to practice the new jutsu. He imagined the lot of possibility this opened for him. he can go to any shop and buy anything he wanted, not just into a few, and get the worst things in there. Yes he know what they were doing to him, thanks to Kurama who told Naruto that he could have a lot more stuff for a lot lower price, if he wasn't… him, but with this technique he can do a lot more stuff, and this gave him a drive, he needed for the thing what changed his life forever. While he was trying to do it, Kurama was sitting next to him, his head on Naruto's lap, when Naruto felt a strange surge of power, what he used for the jutsu.
"Transformation!" said Naruto and a small amount of smoke appeared around them. When that ended Naruto run up to a mirror when he saw he was someone else… but not who he wanted to be. "What is this? I did not try to transform into a half fox, half human person!" said Naruto, while he watched himself. He was the same hight and body build, but had shorter fox fur like hair, and two fox ear on top of his head. His normal clothes were changed to a black t-shirt and a black jean. His hands were covered in fur too, and his voice was somewhat deeper too, but the most surprising thing happened after this.
"Maybe you did not concentrate enough… wait. How can I speak like a human?" Asked the same voice from behind Naruto, where Kurama was supposed to be, was a perfect copy of his current form.
"W-who are you?" asked Naruto while he chanceg into a battle stance. He will deal with the intruder if it's needed, but when he looked at him, he felt some strange connection, with him.
"I am Kurama, but I have no idea what happened to me… or to us." answered the ex-fox.
"M-maybe the transformation technique was wrong? I will try to dispel it." said Naruto and was ready to do it.
"Wait. I want to try some stuff out as a human. I never imagined I can be a human, even for a short time."
"B-but we better know how to turn this back, and after that we can have some fun in this form... when we figure out how those this work." said Naruto and was surprised with himself.
"That was strangely logical… from you. Normally I am the logical one, out of the two of us." said Kurama. "But you are right. We need to learn how we did this, and better not to tell anyone."
"Right, then this is the time we do this." said Naruto, and tried to dispel it, but nothing… then they tried to do it together, but nothing. "Well what now?"
"Iruka said that a hit from someone van dispel it, maybe we should hit each other."
"Well this is not the worst idea, we have…" and they hit each other, but they did not dispel, but was send to the two wall behind them.
"Well, we definitely become stronger." 'Scary stronger. '
"Hey your head was on my lap, when I tried to do it. Maybe we need to be connected to each other, while I dispel it." said Naruto. 'It was like one of Kurama's ideas. Did I become smarter, with this?'
"Well it is better than my idea was." After this they grabbed each other arm, like a handshake and Naruto dispelled the thechnique, after what Kurama was standing on Narutos arm.
"We did i!" cried out Naruto happily, and after that did the jutsu again, and they transformed again.
"Well, I have a few ideas, what to do as a human." said Kurama, back in his half human form.
"Oh, do they contain pranking on the whole village?" asked Naruto with a fox like grin on his face.
"Yes." Come the answer with the same grin on Kuramas face.
On this day, the Konoha Twin Foxes where born, and the village learned, what horrible thing can be, two fox prankster who had just one goal. Prank EVERYONE in the village as fast, as possible, and with their increased strength and speed, there was no place safe from the duo.
