A/N: Hey there.

This story was originally planned to be a simple chapter for my lemony collection of one-shots in 'Naruto: Night-Time Stories', but I've decided to make this it's own story with its own collection of chapters and story progression. It just didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the one-shots, I felt like. So this will be it's own story, with a different kind of story progression. Chances are it won't have many chapters, though. But it should be an interesting read either way.

And in case you're new and the description hadn't warned you enough already, this story will contain explicit material.

Sexual things.

Things involving genitals.

Things that include pee-pees going boing-boing.

Or va-jay-jays going sploosh-sploosh.

You getting the point or am I just being annoying?

Those that have read this in 'Naruto: Night-Time Stories' will pretty much know how this will go, though it will be chopped up in different parts and will have quite a few things added here and there. But in any case, I hope you all enjoy!

Fox Tales

The Fourth Great Shinobi War had finally come to an end. The world was saved, and the Five Great Shinobi Nations had tranquilized into a peaceful and cooperative state. Crime and war were at an all-time low, and the need for ninja to proceed with deadly missions, assassinations, information gathering, etc were minimal. Some shinobi even retired, to live a peaceful life and spend time with their loved ones. Others remained on duty, in case something were to happen. Though, for the most part, only minor crimes reared their heads amongst the shinobi, where they were handled quickly and effortlessly.

One of the shinobi who remained on duty was none other than the savior himself, Naruto Uzumaki, who could be seen heading back to the main gates of Konoha, laughing and chatting with one of his newfound friends.

"I shit you not."

"Yeah right! I don't believe you for a second."

"I'm serious! I can cough up a loogie and spit it in to the air so high, it won't come back down for another twenty-four hours."

Kyuubi no Yoko, otherwise known as Kurama, the large oversized demon fox that had rampaged and almost destroyed Konohagakure eighteen years ago, walked side by side with his new friend. Anyone spectating the pair would wonder how Naruto would be able to communicate with a beast that stood almost two-thousand five-hundred feet tall, when Naruto himself was only five foot, seven inches tall. With a deep and boisterous voice, Kurama had to lower his voice down to what he considered a whisper, so that not everyone within a ten mile radius would hear their conversation.

Naruto stopped walking to face the large demon, pointing a finger high up at his face, "Let's place a bet then!"

Kurama chuckled, "Fine. What do you want to bet?"

Naruto had to think for a second, "Hm... If you spit a loogie and it comes back down in less than a day, you have to let me shave 'Naruto wuz here' into your fur!"

Kurama nodded, "Okay, and if it doesn't come back down in twenty four hours, you have to run three laps through all the streets in Konoha... naked." The son of the Yondiame paled. He was starting to have second thoughts about the bet if that was going to be his losing condition, "So whaddya say? Do we have a deal?"

The Kyuubi extended it's large fist toward the young man, and Naruto hesitantly pressed his own against it, "Deal."

"Hahaha... I almost feel bad. You're going to be more embarrassed than that time you made out with the Uchiha."

"That was a long time ago! And it was an accident!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Oh, I'm sure it was." Kyuubi scoffed with a smirk.

Naruto growled, "Just go on and spit so we can get on with this bet!"

"As you wish, Naruto-kun." Said Kyuubi. The large fox reclined his head back and made a gnarly, deep gurgling noise from the back of it's throat. The noise caused the ground below them to vibrate, as many animals within the forest they were in began to scatter, aside from those that had scattered from the demon's presence alone.

Then, with a deep inhale, Kyuubi spit the large mucus wad from it's mouth like a bullet. The wad was only visible for a few seconds, before disappearing into the day time sky like a shooting star.

"Whoa." Naruto mumbled, "That's pretty high... I still don't think it'll take a day for it to come back."

"We shall see soon enough, Naruto-kun." Kurama responded surely.

"How do we even know where it'll land? It could end up somewhere in Suna for all we know."

Kurama shook his head, "Nah. I positioned it so that it'll go straight up and come right back down where we are."

Naruto shrugged, "Whatever you say."

Just as the pair began to head to the main entrance of Konoha, with Naruto walking through the gate and Kurama stepping over it, they were met with a certain silver-haired shinobi who had just taken the position as Hokage.

"Hey, Kakashi-sensei." Naruto greeted, "It's weird seeing you outside of your office for a change."

"It feels weird being out of the office." Kakashi said, "But I'm just here to talk to you and Kurama about a few things."

"Me?" Kurama inquired, "Is this about that huge turd I left on the outside of Konoha last week?"

Kakashi sighed, "...Not necessarily. Although, that has something to do with it."

"Then what is it?" Asked Naruto.

"Most of the villagers have been complaining and, while they have learned to accept Kurama without hesitation, they feel that having a large overgrown fox in and around the village has become a bit of a hassle."

"A hassle?!" Kurama repeated, "Whaddya mean a hassle?!"

"Well, there's that incident with the giant turd that you mentioned just now that crushed a few homes and left all of Fire Country smelling like feces until we gathered enough shinobi to bury it deep underground with earth-style jutsu."

"I made sure no one was around! And I had to go to the bathroom somewhere!" The Kyuubi defended.

"And there's also the fact that even though you sleep in the mountains, your snoring could be heard all the way to Kumo, which makes some people unable to sleep themselves."

"Well, I can't help it if I snore! And I tried to sleep far enough so no one would bother me or be bothered!"

"And lets not forget that you destroy a piece of the land and forest of Fire Country with every step that you take."

Kurama didn't have an immediate excuse for that one. He and Naruto both turned around sheepishly to look behind them, and indeed saw the amount of destruction done to the landscape and trees with every deep footprint that followed the large demon.

Kurama rubbed the back of his head, with an embarrassed smile on its face, "Ahaha... well, I'm a giant demon fox, what can I say?"

"And there, Kurama-sama, is where the problem lies." Kakashi said simply.

Kurama's embarrassment was soon replaced with frustration, "Grr, well why do they wait 'till now to complain?! They haven't said anything for the past year!" He exclaimed, knowing that the villagers could hear them.

"Probably because they didn't want to seem ungrateful for all that you and Naruto have done. Either that, or they just were too afraid to speak up against the huge demon fox that almost wiped us all out eighteen years ago. No offense." Kakashi then shrugged, "Can't say I blame them, though."

With all the facts thrown at Kurama, all he could do was just growl to himself, "Well, what do you want me to do, Kakashi? Go somewhere far away on the other side of the earth?"

"Not necessarily." Kakashi mumbled, "You could just go back to living inside Naruto like you used to."

"NO!" Kurama refused, "I've been locked up inside this boy for seventeen years! Now that everything is peaceful and I don't have to worry about anyone attacking me, nor does anyone have to worry about me attacking them, you want to rob me of my freedom and tell me to go back?!"

Kakashi sweatdropped, seeing how ridiculous it was to have a petty argument with a being that was almost five-hundred times his size, "Err, well, I don't see many other alternatives, Kurama-sama."

"Kurama's right, Kakashi-sensei." Naruto interjected, "He's one of us now and deserves to live free just as much as we do. So there has to be another way."

"Well, unless you guys come up with another solution, we're just going to have to deal with all the complaints from not only those in Konoha, but from everyone in Fire Country." Kakashi sighed.

The atmosphere around the three became awkwardly silent. Kurama looked as if he were hesitating to say something before sighing.

"There's another way." Kurama admitted, "But I don't like it."

Naruto looked at his close friend, "Is it anything dangerous? Does it involve you leaving?" He inquired.

Kurama shook his head, "No and no. It's just... something that's going to destroy my pride."

Naruto's face deadpanned, "Considering how prideful you already are, it must be something huge." He mumbled.

"Shut it." The beast growled, "It'll resolve the issue for sure, so no one will have to bitch about anything anymore."

"Good." Kakashi replied, smiling with his eyes, "So what is it that you're going to do?"

Kurama scratched his head, a bead of sweat dropping down from embarrassment, "I'll show you. Just not here."

The Kyuubi no Yoko then instructed both Kakashi and Naruto to come with him to a desolate location, just on the outskirts of Fire Country. It was a big open clearing, with no homes or towns within a hundred mile radius of the location.

"Alright, this is perfect." Kyuubi looked around, before glaring at the two shinobi before him, "If either of you laugh, I swear I'll rip your heads off, skewer them on a stick, and eat them like dango dumplings!"

Both Kakashi and Naruto gulped before nodding their heads. They silently prayed to themselves that whatever it was Kurama was going to do wouldn't be the least bit comical.

"Okay... here goes." Kyuubi then hesitated to make what seemed like a modified version of the tiger seal. He sighed one last time, before disappearing inside of a giant cloud of smoke. Naruto and Kakashi's both shielded their eyes, seeing as the puff caused winds of over 85 mph to brew, kicking up dirt and dust throughout the whole clearing. Their clothing flapped in the wind, and they struggled to maintain their footing, as to not get blown away.

After approximately five whole minutes, the winds began to die down. As their clothes slowly stopped flapping, visibility began to increase and Naruto and Kakashi both looked forward to see what happened to the enormous fox before them.

"Okay... now it's like I said, if either of you laugh, I'll be more than happy to tear you both to shreds!"

Naruto's eyes widened. That sounded nothing like the deep an boisterous voice that he was used to hearing from Kurama. This voice sounded much more... feminine.

The dirt and dust soon dissipated completely and both Naruto and Kakashi both almost lost their eyeballs out of their sockets at what, or rather who, they saw standing in one of the large prints where Kurama's giant paw used to be. Neither of them knew what to expect, but they definitely wouldn't have been able to predict that a nude woman would have been standing in front of them.

"K-Kurama...?!" Naruto sputtered, his mind completely frazzled, "I... Is that you?!"

The woman crossed her arms and leered at the astounded Jounin and and Hokage. One could only assume that the woman was indeed Kyuubi no Yoko, considering the few traits of hers that give it away. One of these traits would be the sharp canines slightly poking out her mouth, just above her bottom lip. Another would be the fiery red hair with orange streaks that draped to her shoulders. A bigger tip off would be the the eyes that didn't seem much different from the original Kyuubi's eyes, still bright red with slits for irises.

And the most distinguishable, and most obvious tip of all would be the nine fox tails flailing tranquilly behind her.

Her prominent, but piercing eyes could make the heart skip of anyone who looked into them, with what seemed like a thick layer of black eyeliner and eye shadow surrounding them, much like the black fur around a fox's eyes. With a rounded face and a small nose, the woman's lips pouted cutely with her annoyance of the two before her. Her body could only be described as flawless. Her breasts looked very healthy and full, especially considering their size; DD-cup. A very subtle toning of abs could be seen under them, matching perfectly with her slim waist. The waistline curved smoothly into her wide hips, which were held up by the nicely toned thighs and legs used to support her. With a small and tidy patch of orange pubic hair being the only visible body hair, her peach skin looked as though it'd be as soft as a newborn baby's. Aside from the six whisker marks that was a distinguishable trait for Naruto all his life, she didn't seem to have no imperfections or blemishes as far as the eye can see.

As most men would like to say, this woman was hot.

"Well?! Are you idiots going to just stand there and stare like a pair of brain-dead baboons, or say something?!" The lady demanded, growing more and more irate by the second.

"... Naruto." Kakashi mumbled.

"What?"

"Catch me."

"Huh?"

The next second, Kakashi suddenly fell backwards and landed on the ground hard, his mask revealing a blood stain where his nose was.

"Ah, geez!" Naruto knelt down beside his sensei and tried waking up with a few soft, but firm slaps to the face. The attempts to wake him up didn't seem to work to any avail.

The Uzumaki then stood back up and pointed a finger at the woman, "Hey, no fair, Kurama! You can't steal the Oiroke no jutsu I invented and use it against me!" he exclaimed, wiping his own nosebleed. This caused Kurama's irritation to be replaced with laughter, "What's so funny?!"

"Well, as wrong as you are, I'll just consider what you just said to be a compliment." She replied, "I'm not using your stupid Oiroke no Jutsu."

"Whaddya mean that's not the Oiroke no Jutsu?!" He demanded, "You're obviously using my technique idea!"

The woman rolled her eyes, "Better just hit him with the news now instead of dragging on his idiocy." She thought to herself.

"This is me, Naruto. This is what my human form looks like."

Naruto could only drop his jaw, his eyebrow twitching.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...!" He said, shaking his head rapidly, "I don't believe you! The Kurama I know is a male!"

"Not really." She said simply, "The Kurama you know has always been a female."

Naruto was starting to get a headache, "B-But... I've always referred to you as 'he' and 'him', and you never corrected me! So unless you lied to me all this time, I won't believe that you're a girl!"

Kurama, the Nine-tailed fox who transformed into her human form, nodded, "Well, you're right about one thing; I never did correct you when you referred to me as a male. But since you just assumed that I was one, I never actually lied to you about anything." She stated with a shrug.

"B-But..."He repeated, "Okay, so if you actually are a girl, why wouldn't you correct me when you knew that I though you were a boy?"

"Because I wanted you to think that I was a boy." Kyuubi scoffed, "I wanted everyone to think that I was one. Aside from the other Biju, you're the only person that knows that I'm a female." She then looked at the sprawled out form of the person on the ground beside Naruto, "And Kakashi too, I guess."

"Why wouldn't you admit to being a girl?" Naruto asked.

Kurama rolled her eyes and looked off in the distance, "Because females don't receive as much respect as males do, especially not amongst you humans." She said, "I'm the great Kyuubi no Yoko, the strongest and most feared demon around. If it was known that I was a female demon, I wouldn't have been feared or respected anywhere near as much as I was. And I refused to be a laughing stock to anyone."

"Oh..." Naruto mumbled, "Okay, I kind of get it. But I think that's bogus! Women deserve just as much respect and credibility as men do!"

"I concur." Kurama agreed, "But the female gender as a whole are often lusted after and joked about. We're seen as secondary, the ones that come after and walk behind the males. That would explain why there has only been one female Hokage in your village, and I admit, I was shocked to see that even happened."

Naruto frowned, "You're right... But women are just as strong, if not, stronger than men are! Sakura is one of the strongest people I know! And Tsunade is definitely one of the strongest people I know! And not just in terms of physical strength, either."

Kurama gave Naruto a small smile, "It's for this reason that I chose to reveal this form to you. I can tell you won't look at me with any less respect than you did when you thought I was a male." The demon then deadpanned, "... Even though I can tell you're looking at me with lust in your mind, you perv."

Naruto was about to rebuke such an accusation, before following her gaze down to his crotch, where there was a very noticeable tent poking through his pants.

The Hokage-to-be immediately placed his hands between his legs and turned his body away from her to hide his erection, "Gah, sorry! I-It's just that you're really pretty... a-and naked...! Now do ya see why I thought you were using the Oiroke no Jutsu?!"

Kurama let out an amused chuckle, placing a hand on her hip, "I'm just going to take that as another compliment." She said.

"Well, can you put some clothes on, please?! It's kinda hard to talk to you when you're naked!" Naruto then sighed, "Man, Hinata would kill me if she found this out..."

"Humans are so damn weak... such a big fuss over nudity." She sighed, "And as much as I'd love to put something on to cover myself with, I don't see any clothes for me around here. Do you?"

Soon, Naruto used a clone to head back to the village and gather some appropriate clothing for Kurama to wear. This attire consisted of a pair of beige kunoichi shorts that fell mid calf, which were elastic at the ends. There was a hole in the rear, allowing her nine fox tails to move around freely. She also had a red loose fitting midriff blouse on which only had one sleeve, with a bandage-like wrap covering over her breasts underneath. She also wore standard kunoichi underwear, with standard kunoichi footwear.

"I guess this will do for now." Kurama murmured after putting on the last bit of clothing. By this time, Kakashi just started to stir back into consciousness, holding his head as he got back up.

"Jeez, Naruto..." he groaned, "As quick as you are on the battlefield, you sure are slow when it came to catching me... I even gave you a heads up."

"That's because I was just as stunned as you!" Naruto defended.

"Anyway... I'm guessing that this is really you, Kurama, and not just a henge." Kakashi said to the red-head.

Kurama smirked and nodded, "That's right, Kakashi. This is a transformation that doesn't mask me with a different identity, this one is a demon technique that just switches me into a human form. So yes, the strongest demon in the world of shinobi is indeed a female." She then giggled, something that made someone as cool and aloof as Kakashi blush, "And a pretty attractive one, telling by how you almost drowned in your own nosebleed when you first saw me."

"Well, I uh..." Kakashi mumbled, rubbing the back of his head due to embarrassment. Clearing his throat, Kakashi decided to change the subject, "Ahem... In any case, this transformation should resolve all of the issues the locals had with you."

"There's no drawbacks to using this technique for a while, is there Kurama?" Naruto asked, concern evident.

Kurama grimaced a bit, "Not physically. This technique doesn't eat up chakra or anything... The only downside is that I won't be able to transform to my normal self for another sixteen months."

"What?!" Naruto exclaimed, "Why so long?! I thought this was just a variation of the transformation technique!"

"It is." She replied, "But this is a somewhat permanent technique that can last for a long time, something like Tsunade's technique which keeps her looking as youthful as you. This technique won't ever waiver due to outside forces, since it literally transforms my entire form; my skin, hair, organs, and the overall set up of my body. And because of this, my body would need time to adapt to such a switch before I can do it again. Otherwise, I could die due to putting my body through such another drastic change without letting it stabilize with this one."

Naruto could only stare in shock, "And you're sure you're fine with that, Kurama?"

She simply shrugged, "Eh. Not like I had much choice. Besides, I knew I was going to have to do this eventually. Being over two thousand feet tall was getting kind of old." She then looked at Kakashi, "Also... I've been thinking about this for a while, but finally came to a decision since now is as good of a time as any. I want to join the shinobi forces."

The two men in the area both became wide-eyed.

"Join the shinobi forces? Why?" Naruto asked.

"Because Konoha is my home now and I want to protect it, even if the world is in a tranquil state right now." She answered, "Also, I haven't been able to test my powers in this state for hundreds of years, so it'd be good to break myself in this way."

Kakashi rubbed his chin, "Well... I suppose its possible. As a formality, you'd have to enroll in the academy and graduate like everyone else."

"EXCUSE ME?!" Kurama roared, "Attend the academy?! Do you not see I'm a powerful demon that has lived for thousands of years?! And you want me to go to the academy with a bunch of little snot nosed brats?!"

Kakashi raised his hands up defensively nervously smiling in an attempt to put her at ease, "Aha... Well, like I said, it'd only be because of our customs... no one has ever become a ninja without attending the academy to learn the basics of what it is to be a shinobi..."

Kurama's vein that was protruding out of her forehead began to twitch, "I AM THE KYUUBI, GODDAMN IT!" She quickly approached Kakashi, grabbing him by the front of his vest, "I know more about Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, and Genjutsu and everything else about shinobi through observing them for longer than you could ever imagine! As a matter of fact, I could probably take you out in this form right now, Kakashi!" She threatened, "I may not be as strong as I was in my previous state, but believe me, I'm still far out of any you human's leagues!"

Kakashi could see the color in Kurama's eyes moving around like boiling blood, "A-Alright, alright...! I'll give the the rank as shinobi, I'll even enlist you as a Jounin...! Just relax a little...!"

Kakashi was immediately let go, and Kurama's face went from deathly, to cheery in a matter of milliseconds.

"Thank you, Kakashi-kun! Glad you could see it my way!"

Kakashi and Naruto both sweatdropped.

"Geez... She's scarier than Tsunade and Sakura combined...!" Naruto thought to himself.
