Chapter 2-His Return
Several years past for Naruto, as he stayed in the Namikaze Estate living in upper levels, and the lower level when he was too tired from training to head to up to his other bed. During that time, Naruto had learned much in terms of using chakra, Jutsus, and the ways of the Force taught by his multiple holocron made teacher. Unfortunately, when it came to learning about being a Shinobi, Naruto found that he had to learn while doing, as he didn't trust the old man to teach him anything if the shield were let down, and the risk of the Hokage abducting Naruto if given the opportunity was too high.
Still, Naruto persevered through it all, using his Father's notes, books, and everything his baka of a Father had in the house that would make him a skilled warrior of the Shinobi arts. When Revan asked why follow in his Father's footsteps as a Shinobi, Naruto told the holocron made image he wasn't, and that he wasn't becoming a Shinobi. He would become a Jedi like Revan had been, but also use the Shinobi arts when they were needed, and it couldn't hurt to have them should he become drained from constantly using the Force too much.
During the years that passed, Naruto used various swords before moving up to training level Lightsabers to perform the various sword arts, and the hand to hand combat moves Revan learned during his time in the Mandalorian Wars. The fighting style was a mixture of Echani fighting and Mandalorian combat training that made it all the more potent in itself. Revan told Naruto that each skill he uses with the Force is aligned to either the Dark Side or the Light Side with each giving the user unique powers. So far, Naruto had learned how to heal with the Force using the Light Side, and hurting people using Sith Lightning with the Dark Side. Though as Naruto later learned, the Sith Lightning takes a lot out of a Force user despite having lots of hate in his system from multiple factors, and needed to be controlled better.
In addition to this training, Naruto also learned more about his ancestor, the Republic, the Jedi, the Sith, and the Mandalorian Wars Revan fought in only to get thrown into a Jedi Civil War not long after. Naruto didn't understand this Jedi Council, as those that judge you without being on the front lines of war had no right to judge, and it reminded Naruto a lot of the two Councils in Konoha that always tried to judge him because of Kyuubi.
Revan also told Naruto about the original HK-47, how he was created many years ago by Revan to be an assassin droid while disguised as a protocol droid, and had always had a high form of bloodlust even for an assassin droid. Of course, Revan had also explained that unlike the original HK-47, the one that was in the house no longer added the words "statement" or "query" before saying sentences that were as such, and had modified the current HK-47 to speak without doing such things.
Through the years during his time mediations, Naruto felt various echoes throughout the Force from within, and from without Konoha. From within, Naruto sensed pain from the Hyuuga household from a shy little girl named Hinata, and had recently been granted a little baby sister named Hanabi. However, it came at the cost of losing her Mother, and giving her the now grieving Father a means to vent his anger out on her for the loss. The man knew it wasn't her fault, but Hinata was hated for the terrible loss of her Mother all the same, and her cousin Neji was not much help either after losing his Father due to an incident with Kumo a few years back when Hinata was 3 years old.
Another soul Naruto sensed in pain was a purple haired woman named Anko, who hated the fact people thought she was her backstabbing sensei, and treated her as such. She had been attacked several times by villager and Shinobi alike with only the Sandaime along with another scarred man named Ibiki protecting her. Anko had several rape attempts made on her, but they failed after she had used what training she had acquired from her time with Orochimaru that she could remember, and later on from Ibiki to help fend her attackers off.
'Such fools these people are. I look forward to breaking them down the road,' thought Naruto, as he wished to help those that suffered, but found that he wasn't strong enough despite his growing rate in skill.
Outside of the village, the pain was no different, as Naruto sensed the boy he felt years prior known simple as Subaku no Gaara, and that he was a demon vessel too. Only the difference was that the seal Gaara had was incomplete, making the boy unstable, and after what happened with the boy's Uncle at the age of 6 made the boy embrace his hate for the world. Several times, Naruto had appeared before Subaku no Gaara when he was alone using the Force to speak to the insomnia possessed boy, but Gaara kept trying to kill him, or tell him to leave him alone while thinking it was Shukaku playing tricks on his mind.
He used the projection on Hinata, but she got scared thinking he was a ghost, and it took several attempts to get her to calm down so she wouldn't make a scene. It had taken some time, but Hinata had gotten a chance to open up to him, as Naruto told her he meant no harm, and wished to help her become a better person despite what had happened at her home. Hinata had become very depressed with the knowledge of her Mother dying and her Father taking it out on her while calling her worthless. Naruto told her that it wasn't her fault that her Mother died, as such things tend to happen from time to time, and that she should show her Father that she was in fact strong. When Hinata asked for his name, Naruto told her to call him "The Namikaze", and to keep their conversations a secret since no one would believe them.
The only problem Naruto had was the projection itself being a pain to do even in Konoha where he tested it out further on cold windy nights, spooking citizens into thinking there were ghosts about, and scaring them half to death. The idea of such a skill being used as a prank was fun, but Revan had told him that was not what the technique was for, and told him to use it during the day to listen to the Academy Teachers with their lectures to help him understand the ways of the Shinobi better along with secretly spying on the younger generation to see who he could corrupt to his side. Naruto reluctantly agreed to using the projection during the class while listening to the teachers talk about the basics of being a Shinobi, the history of Konoha, and famous people in Konoha with the favorite it seemed being the "death" of Kyuubi.
Naruto hated those particular lectures, as they went on how the Yondaime was able to slay the "stupid demon", and while Naruto had no love for Kyuubi at the moment despite the deal she presented...he hated the people of Konoha even more. Interestingly enough, Naruto found that with further concentration, he could use the Force in the classroom to create a little bit of chaos, and prank the stupid teachers in the classroom without mercy.
One in particular prank that was quite possibly his favorite, as well as by possibly the most draining to do, was making a teacher lose control of his or her bowels, and have them crap their pants during one of their lecture. The teacher would make a loud farting noise, which would get the attention of the students in the class, and see the brownish stain leaking through the teacher's pants.
The doctors and nurses of Konoha were stumped by this and thought it might be some kind of stress related disease done from teaching students at the Academy for so long.
Speaking of the doctors and nurses of Konoha, Naruto had a fun time pranking them too, as they had always given Naruto a hard time when he had been hospitalized from past beatings, and always giving him worthless meds. For the nurses, he would push up their skirts in front of doctors, and patients to reveal what kind of panties they wore making several male patients have nosebleeds while some (the wives) filed sexual harassment lawsuits getting the nurses nearly fired. The doctors were plagued the same way with a "trouser malfunction" causing them to flash their female patients and get them in trouble with the Hokage since he had to deal with all the paperwork for it.
Still, all the pranking aside, Naruto felt that he needed to be outside of the walls of the Namikaze Estate, but knew that if he went now, then it would get him in trouble, and Revan would be most displeased. Besides, the offer that Kyuubi made to him years ago was still on the table, and while Revan had said that it was a good deal that Naruto should look to the Force for guidance on this matter.
So Naruto did.
Like Revan had been when he was alive, Naruto could see glimpse of the future, and the outcome of his actions by accepting or rejecting the offer while waiting those few years to determine the outcome. From what the visions showed, the offer was indeed true, as Kyuubi did want freedom, and was willing to give up her power for it while knowing that she could get it all back later on even if she was still tied to Naruto during that time while being his servant. When Naruto consulted the holocron image of Revan with his findings, the image of the once great Jedi considered that Naruto should take the offer, and become a half-demon before ascending to that of a full demon in years to come. The village was going to see him as a demon anyway so why not let them have their wish and give them one?
Naruto decided to take the Kyuubi's deal while in the open field of his Estate to give him the needed room to prevent any damage to be done to the house.
(Naruto's Mindscape)
"So you finally showed up. After several years of waiting, I actually suspected you were going to turn me down, and let me die slowly inside of you," said Kyuubi now in her giant fox form despite him knowing she was a female demon by seeing her human form from his visions when mediating.
"Sorry. I was busy with my training and your offer was something I couldn't just accept right away," said Naruto, as Revan had warned him about giving into temptation when doing so did more harm then good, and told him to learn to control such thoughts.
"For nearly 3 years? Less then a week before time was up?" said Kyuubi, who raised a large fur covered eyebrow at him, and Naruto just shrugged.
"I need to be cautious when it comes to making deals. I had to look into the future to see if the events of such an agreement would be by undoing or a blessing. Would you prefer I not take you up on your offer without so much as not telling you at all until I had to speak with you again?" said Naruto seeing the look on Kyuubi's fox like features and he knew that she agreed with him even if she wouldn't admit it.
"Point well taken. So you want to make the deal, correct?" said Kyuubi, as she needed to willingly agree to this, and actually say he agreed so it was all legit.
Even Kami had eyes in this place.
"Yes. I, Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto willingly accept your deal made by you, Kyuubi no Kitsune, to become a half-demon, and later into a full demon in exchange for giving you freedom," said Naruto, as he had learned much in his Father's library about demons, and the deals they make in exchange for certain things they themselves could not achieve.
"The deal has been made and agreed to. For this to work I must claw you with my mark to prove that the deal is official. Step forward to receive the means to become a half-demon," said Kyuubi, who now moved slightly closer to the cage, and waited for Naruto to be within striking distance.
"I am ready. See you on the outside," said Naruto, as if he were talking to an inmate, and the said inmate just got out for good behavior.
"Same goes for you too...Naruto-kun," said Kyuubi making Naruto's eyebrow rise just before the fox demon struck with her claws piercing his right shoulder and then sent a massive pulse of demonic chakra into it make the mark that would be on him forever like a scar.
Though to most it would look like a tattoo.
Naruto screamed out in pain, staggering back as he did in his mindscape knowing that he was physically feeling this on the outside, and spraying blood all over the room where his master was. Clutching the massive wound, Naruto felt the whole place around him begin to change, his body was feeling out of place, and his very consciousness strayed out of what realm of time he was in.
(Hokage Tower-Hokage's Office)
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed at the mountain of paperwork involved for keeping Konoha alive in order to run the village, which lied in this abundant pile of dead trees that were remade into writing material. Originally, the Councils were supposed to do their own paperwork before sending it to the Hokage to approve each stamp they made on each document, but over the years the Councils had taken liberties in giving all the work to the Hokage to do, and they get to do whatever they wanted.
Hardly a fair trade.
'I get stuck doing paperwork while they all relax and plot to destroy the last of Minato's legacy,' thought the Sandaime, as he wondered if things could get any worse for him, and if there was would it please take him away from the paperwork.
People should really be careful what they ask for.
No sooner had Sarutobi made that silent little wish, did the old man get it in the form of a massive demonic charka spike coming from the Namikaze Estate, and if he felt it...then so did everyone else. It wasn't as potent as what was felt years ago, but it was still pretty massive, as the amount given off was more then enough to wipe Konoha off the face of the planet, and all that dwelled within it.
"Oh crap," said Sarutobi before heading out to the Namikaze Estate knowing that every Shinobi in Konoha from lowly Chuunin to ANBU to Clan Heads would be heading there.
Oh how Sarutobi wished he wished he hadn't accidently killed his lucky fish.
(Namikaze Estate)
The once retired Hokage arrived with what seemed hundreds if not all the Shinobi within the village at the large Estate that once belonged to the Yondaime still covered by the ever strange energy dome. Inside the dome, the large army of Shinobi saw Naruto lying face down on the ground while crimson chakra surrounded his being, and many Shinobi feared that the boy had unleashed the Kyuubi in order to get revenge for their cruel past mistreatment of him. Several Shinobi had tried to pierce the dome of energy, only to be repelled backwards roughly, and thrown into their comrades that caught them.
"What do we do Hokage-sama?" said Kakashi, as he had left ANBU to become a Jounin to possibly teach a Genin team.
"Pray," said the Hokage in a whisper, as the manifestation of the Kyuubi's face appeared above Naruto's fallen form roaring with rage and power before landing next to Naruto, and creating a physical human body manifestation.
"I'm free! YES!" said Kyuubi in her human looking form, with her now human sounding voice, as she bounced around happy to be free from her cage, and out in the world once more.
At that moment, all the male Shinobi seeing her got an immediate nose bleed, and flew off in all directions at the sight of her naked female body.
Seeing the state that she put the males of the Leaf in, Kyuubi decided to have some, if only just little modesty, and snapped her fingers to create a smooth crimson kimono that did little to hide her sexy body. Turning to the one, who freed her from her Shinigami prison, Kyuubi picked up a now changed Namikaze Naruto, and held him tightly to her bosom.
"K-Kyuubi," said Naruto weakly, as he looked up at her with tired eyes, and wondered if what he was seeing was in fact real at the moment.
"Hello Naruto-kun. You must be tired from what I did. At least your wound is healing nicely though it will leave a scar I'm afraid," said Kyuubi seeing the now shirtless boy's chest now had a scar on it like he had been clawed downward.
"Well...you did kind of stab me with those claws of yours," said Naruto weakly before letting out a chuckle at her smiling at him.
"I know, but don't you worry, as I don't intend to hurt you anymore, and I'm going to help make things up to you," said Kyuubi kissing his forehead now sporting a few locks of red hair here and there.
"I feel sleepy," said Naruto finding he was more tired from the process then he originally thought.
"Let's get you to bed then," said Kyuubi taking him inside to get some well deserved rest, as she knew that Naruto would be out of it for awhile, and need to regain control of his body now that it had changed.
"Hokage-sama, we need to do something! The demon is free and inside the Namikaze Estate with the boy," said an ANBU while wondering if there was anything they could do.
"There is nothing we can do. Call a meeting of every elite Shinobi, the two Councils, and the Clan Heads. We must figure this out in case things turn out for the worst," said the aged Hokage knowing that there was still time to form some kind of plan to handle this new development.
Where was Jiraiya when you needed him?
(Namikaze Estate-Master Bedroom)
"Sleep well now my Naruto-kun. You foxy servant has things that need to be done and certain people to speak to," said Kyuubi kissing him on the forehead and tucked the boy into the bed before leaving to head to the lower levels to speak to Revan.
Making her way to the lower levels, Kyuubi ran into HK-47, who paused in seeing her, and decided to keep playing as the protocol droid for the moment until the time was right to remove this new guest.
"Greetings strange female. May I be of service?" said HK-47 while wondering who this woman was and why she had animal like traits like that of a fox.
"Yes HK-47, I wish to speak to the one known as Revan. I am the former demonic tenant of one Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto known to many as Kyuubi no Kitsune," said Kyuubi seeing the droid process this information.
"Ah, I see. You are the demon fox the younger master is hated for. Such a shame he had to go through all that pain because of those arrogant meat bags in the village. I do hope you intend to kill nice chunk of them before letting the young master have his chance at the rest," said HK-47, as he escorted Kyuubi to the room where Naruto spoke to Revan while learning all he could about the Force, and the man's past.
No sooner had they entered did the holocron projection of one Namikaze Revan appear before them with his arms crossed and looking at Kyuubi.
"I take it the deal worked and Naruto is in fact alive?" said Revan seeing that Kyuubi only had 4 ½ tails meaning that Naruto had the others.
"Of course Revan-sama. The deal I made with Naruto will be honored to its fullest, as I promised it would, and I would never break promise like those disgusting humans in the village. If I did, I would be lower then them, and I refuse to lower then those insects that think they are invincible because I was defeated by their strongest warrior,"said Kyuubi finding that her pride was hurt a little at that last part since she was the strongest of the Demon Lords after all.
"Good. However, this action may have complicated things, as HK has informed me of the Estate sensors detecting an army of Shinobi arriving here upon your freedom to no doubt investigate the situation, and have seen you regain your lost freedom. When Naruto has recovered from this trial, I want you to train him in the demonic arts that he can learn with what tails he has, and then help him relearn what he already knows. The latter part shouldn't be too difficult since it's like riding a bike so I want you to do that part last with him, as I need him to be learning from you without the help of the Shadow Clones, and relearn everything from scratch," said Revan, which meant that Naruto's connection to the Force would need to be retested all over again.
"Of course, but before I do that, I want to have a little fun with Konoha again, as I rather liked the pranks Naruto pulled on the people here, and want to help continue it while he's busy sleeping," said Kyuubi grinning wickedly at Revan and the figure simply nodded in understanding.
"Very well. Though if things get too much for you Kyuubi, I want you back here where it's safe, and they won't try to use you in some way to get Naruto away from here. You are not as strong as you were before and while they will be cautious at first, it will only take one of them to exploit it when seen," said Revan knowing that Naruto had wanted to give Kyuubi the benefit of the doubt concerning the deal she made to him years ago, but even still the chance of the demon still having ulterior motives was a high probability, and she would have to be watched more carefully until a solid amount of proof showed that she was indeed trustworthy.
"Oh goody. I look forward to making their lives miserable before Naruto-kun does it himself," said Kyuubi letting out a wicked chuckle leave her mouth and then have it become an evil laugh with her eyes glowing crimson red.
"Master, it would seem that the fox based female is having one of those moments, which are similar to mine when I plan to harm an arrogant meat bag, and is going to carry it out with extreme efficiency," said HK-47, as he still didn't understand the term "demonic", but in his own databanks definition, it basically meant someone, who has the will to do unspeakable things to another, and caused almost unlimited amount of pain to another with little to no remorse.
"Yes HK, I believe she is," said Revan, as Kyuubi walked out of the room while rubbing her clawed hands together, and looked anxious to inflict some manner of sadistic pain on someone.
(Hokage Tower)
"So the demon is finally freed from its prison. I knew the Yondaime was a fool! Such a creature like the Kyuubi cannot be contained no matter how skilled the seal master," said Uchiha Fugaku, as he scowled at the situation in front of him, and how the many attempts to have the boy killed turned down.
"Perhaps, this wouldn't have happened, had we been nice to the boy rather then calling for his death, and the constant hunts for him on his birthday," said Sarutobi seeing the many people in the room squirming uneasily, as they had been responsible one way or another in the boy's mistreatment, and those that didn't were still nervous given they knew nothing of the boy's mental stability.
Or instability for that matter.
"What do you purpose we do then? Shower him with presents? Beg for forgiveness? We beat the demon once before and I say we can do it again. All we need to do is to summon the Shinigami again and reseal it up again before actually killing its tenant soon after," said Homura getting nods from the Civilian Council and the Shinobi one too.
"And who to you purpose performs the sealing again Homura-san? You? Me? Someone here that has little to no sealing experience? The only one that could do such sealing would be either the Yondaime or Jiraiya of the Sannin, but neither are here at the moment despite fact that Kyuubi's power was felt throughout the Elemental Countries, and is now returning to investigate," said Hiashi, looking on at the Council members trying to do some stupid idea that would do doubt fail, and everyone would pay the price for it.
In the time that his wife had died not long after giving birth to Hanabi, Hyuuga Hiashi had become cold, almost cruel to his eldest daughter Hinata, and belittled constantly. However, recently during the most recent years, did Hinata grow stronger again, but still kept her caring nature that was frowned upon by the elders, and what Hiashi himself had been drawn too in regards to his late wife. She had been the same way, telling Hiashi that the Cage Bird Seal was cruel, and earning the respect of the Branch Family for her open beliefs in going against such a cruel seal. Hizashi had also expressed such things with him in private, as he wanted his brother to understand that if the seal truly did protect one from learning the secrets of the Byakugan, then it should be worn by all of its members, and not just on section of the family that become slaves against their will.
Hiashi had come to agree on that long after his dear brother died protection him and the clan from losing the secrets their bloodline held when Hinata was 3 years old. Now it seemed that cruel hand of fate was going to point the finger at his own children to mark one of them with the Cage Bird Seal. Hanabi herself was showing remarkable progress, but so was Hinata, and when Hiashi asked her about how she gain this newly discovered strength, the poor girl blushed saying it was a "guiding spirit".
The last time Hinata had blushed like that, was when she was 4 ½ years old, rushing to both of them, and telling them how she was saved from being picked on by a group of boys by another boy her age. One with raging sun like hair with deep blue eyes that were like lakes you wanted to swim in and never get out of.
Both parents of course knew she was referring to Uzumaki Naruto.
"Fight for him Hiashi-kun. Fight for him when no one else will," said Hitomi, as she laid in her bed looking up at her husband, who nodded knowing his wife was always a good judge of character, and wanted to give the Yondaime the benefit of a doubt regarding his skills in the art of sealing.
"Not to mention there are no new born babies arriving anytime soon. And if we did, I would use a child from one of you Council members since it will make you realize how precious your child really is, and understand the ramifications of treating the Yondaime's son like garbage!" said the Sandaime making many people in the room flinch at that since they had learned the truth and were feeling like crap at the moment.
"You humans are such foolish creatures. Always jumping the gun on everything you do," said Kyuubi appearing through a flare of fire that blinded everyone in room for a good 10 seconds before they could see her form.
'It's the demon!" said a Civilian Council member seeing the fox ears and numerous tails that made her physical beauty all the more spectacular to stare at.
"How observant of you. And to think, I almost thought your minds were so inferior that I thought you were all a bunch of feces throwing ape like bakas," said Kyuubi sarcastically to them while smirking at them all before staring at Sarutobi, who narrowed his eyes at her, and she in return made her smirk increase several fold.
"I don't know how you got free from your cage demon, but I won't stand for it, and I will see to it that yo-AHHH!" said Fugaku, who had risen from his seat during his speech, and activated his eyes to use on the female demon.
The end result made him lose his eyes with a single swipe from Kyuubi, who now held them in her hand, and crushed them in front of everyone.
"The Uchiha Clan is still as arrogant as ever I see," said Kyuubi before turning her gaze to the old Hokage, who was trying not to show his fear, and was slowly failing to do so in the process.
"I take it you didn't come here for a visit and to remove the Uchiha Clan Head's eyes for his outburst," said the Sandaime trying to be as diplomatic as possible since such things allowed more lives to be saved rather then lost.
"Of course. Doing that to the Uchiha was just a bonus. You see, I'm here to talk about Naruto-kun, and how I am most displeased with how he has been treated early on in his life. Given who his Father was, I would have thought you filthy humans would have gone out of your way to spoil him silly, but instead you do the opposite, and have tried to kill him on so many occasions. And for what? To get a shot at hurting me? Please! Not once did I feel a single shred of pain during all those times Naruto was attacked by your oh so "noble" reasons. Not that it matters anymore since Naruto hates his Father, all of you, and the village for your past sins. Sins that, I imagine will be paid out in full with that of your blood, and more importantly...your very souls!" said Kyuubi her eyes glowing crimson and her fangs showing for all to see making several Council members on both sides let out a shiver.
"The boy won't kill us. It would be trampling on his Father's legacy, as the defender of this village, and hero to Konoha," said Koharu not liking how this demon stood before them and wished the creature would just die.
"Oh he won't will he? How do you know? Did you befriend him? Did any of you try to take him in when the Orphanage was making him miserable? Did you give him food that wasn't spoiled? Who here actually gave a damn about my vessel when I was inside of him to shield him from the villagers and Shinobi that tried to kill him time after time?" said Kyuubi folding her arms under her nicely shaped breasts while glaring at everyone in the room.
"You're right. None of us have truly tried to befriend him," said Sarutobi dejectedly, as he took of his hat to run his hand through his white aged hair, and the look in his eyes showed only sorrow.
"Hokage-sama! Don't let this demon push us around. You must defend the honor of this village and Konoha's people," said Danzo trying to gain some form of support from those around him for sticking up for them when the Hokage wouldn't.
"Why? What Kyuubi has said right here in this room is 100 percent true! Minato told us with his dying breath that Naruto was to be seen as a hero, to be loved as a hero should for what he held inside, and instead we do the opposite with the Civilian Council using its power to prevent Naruto from having what was his inheritance. You Danzo, wanted to use the boy like a he was some weapon to control, and it was because I turned it down that you decided to side with them on the matter with my two teammates in your pocket," said Sarutobi looking at his former teammates with a heavy glare making them look away with a scowl on their faces.
"How right you are old looking Hokage. So now that we've taken care of that, I'm going to set down some ground rules for all of you so were perfectly clear on what's going to happened concerning Naruto, and if you go against it I'll make sure that what's left of you is sent to your Grandkids for their birthday," said Kyuubi making several of the old Shinobi and civilians in the room sweat a little at that since they didn't want to die just yet.
"What are your terms Kyuubi-sama?" said Tsume, as she had been trying to find a way to get Naruto into her compound for protection when he was younger, but just couldn't find anything, and the Councils were becoming a big pain in the ass for the Clan Heads at the moment.
"First, I want Naruto have free roaming access to any and all areas like the Sannin do, and are not allowed to be revoked when he not here. If you do, Naruto is within his rights to come back here, slaughter all of you, and burn this village to the ground with extreme prejudice. Second, Naruto can harm any and all Shinobi and civilians that have tried to hurt him in the past without any form of punishment, and should you try I'll personally see to it that both genders in this room can never have children. Third, Naruto is to have a seat on this massive Council you have here among the Clan Heads, which I will be taking a seat in since he is still too young to do himself, and I will be treated with respect as if I were a Namikaze too. Any objections?!" said Kyuubi before flaring her power making most of the Shinobi in the room begin to sweat and the others breathing heavily getting ready to pass out.
"N-No objections!" said Sarutobi wishing the she demon would stop, as the power she was using was making them feel like she was crushing their wind pipes.
"Good! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go tell Naruto-kun when he wakes up, and help him cause as much mischief as possible," said Kyuubi skipping out the door with an evil smile on her face.
'Minato, I'm so sorry,' thought Sarutobi, as he struggled to regain his normal breathing, and find some way to make it up to Naruto all the same.
(Namikaze Estate-Master Bedroom-Hours Later)
Naruto groaned, as he awakened feeling tired from what he did to free Kyuubi, and found himself in the Master Bedroom of his home, and struggled to get up while feeling as if he gained a couple hundred pounds. After several failed attempts, Naruto finally succeeded in getting out of bed, only to fall right on his face, and let out a string of curse words he didn't know he knew, and wondered if that was because of Kyuubi putting them in his head during the transformation.
He would have to make a mental note to talk to her about that.
Walking into the room, Naruto noticed that while the lights were off, he could see clearly in the dark, and remembered that his senses were now enhanced a great deal from the transformation. Fighting the urge to turn on a light knowing what would happen if he did see his own reflection, Naruto examined his face in the mirror, and nearly jumped back in surprise when he saw himself. Not only had his face changed, but so did the rest of him, as he was now taller from the 4'3 to a major shot upward to being 5'4, and his face had burned away a good portion of his baby fat revealing chiseled looks of what he would look like in the near future. His upper body wasn't bad either, as he noticed his body had acquired some hardened muscle or rather harder muscles thanks to being a half-demon since he already had such muscle before. His hands now sported claws, which were no real surprise to him, and Naruto was actually looking forward to putting them to good use.
"I have this sudden urge to hurt some people from my past," said Naruto, as he gripped his claw into a fist, and smiled into the mirror while his blue eyes became red, and the pupils became slits.
The crimson tails behind him swished with movement, as Naruto was feeling bloodlust running through his body, and making him want to train heavily today.
With that in mind, Naruto headed for his closet, and got dressed while noticing that HK-47 had been in his room to give him new larger clothing sizes after getting the proper measurements. Something that Naruto was grateful for since he didn't want to wear tight clothes that made him feel tighter down south, which from what he saw looked longer then before, and for some reason felt proud of it.
He needed to have a talk with Revan about that.
Walking down the steps of his home, Naruto found Kyuubi sitting on the couch snacking on some fruit, vegetables, and gourmet cheese while drinking a bottle of fresh sake'. She seemed to have been having the time of her life relishing in the delights before her and Naruto wondered if she had spilled anyone's guts over the Hokage Monument yet.
Or was she going to let him do that if he wanted?
"So you're finally awake I see. Excellent!" said Kyuubi having sensed her new master through their link finding that the boy had grown quite a bit given his half-demon stage.
"I have some questions for you that I hope you'll answer me truthfully," said Naruto sitting in a chair opposite of her while wrapping his tails around himself.
"Of course! Far be it from me to lie to my new sexy master," said Kyuubi, as she found the boy to be quite incredible looking, and knew by the time the boy fully matured would have an army of women after him wanting to have his children.
"Thanks...I think. Anyway, about my changes, is there anyway to conceal them since a lot of people aren't exactly welcome to me being around while looking human, and I don't want people outside of the village knowing about this either," said Naruto blushing a little from Kyuubi's comment while Kyuubi herself nodded in understanding since the boy wanted to have friends and allies outside of the village.
"Of course you can. Right now, the stage you are in now is what we call a Youko form with the tails, ears, and claws that show off your new fox heritage, and with a little focus on your part will be able to keep those tails of your hidden," said Kyuubi seeing the boy look relieved at that since it would give him a chance to make friends if not the ones in the village.
"Okay. I would like to begin my training right away Kyuubi-sensei," said Naruto seeing the fox woman nod at him.
"Very well. When I'm done teaching you for the day, go speak to Revan about relearning the Force, and focus on getting your control back. He said it wouldn't be that hard so I think you'll take care of that easily enough," said Kyuubi getting off the couch and then handed the tray of various eatable treats to her student.
"Thanks Kyuubi-sensei. I was starving up until now," said Naruto, as he began eating just a little bit of everything, and loved the taste of it.
"No problem Naruto-kun, but don't add sensei to my name, and just call me Kyuubi or if you want...Kyuubi-chan!" said Kyuubi seeing Naruto nod though it was clear he didn't know why and she knew she would have to give him the "talk" soon to help him along.
Oh well, it was better then HK-47 teaching it, and him really screwing up the kid's mind.
(Hokage's Office-A Few Days Later)
"Are you sure about this?" said the Hokage looking at the weasel masked ANBU in front of him, who simply nodded, and saw the old man let out a heavy sigh.
This job was not meant for the old.
"Yes. It seems my arrogant Father Uchiha Fugaku will not tolerate Naruto's presence one way or the other long after he lost his eye sight at the hands of Kyuubi. Even now, he is planning to have the entire clan attacking Naruto and Kyuubi once the shield is down, and claim the riches of the Namikaze Estate to increase the strength of the clan," said the weasel masked ANBU, who saw the Hokage's eyes narrow at that, and the burst of killer intent made the ANBU shiver unnoticeably from it.
The old man maybe old, but he still had that fire in him, and it wasn't out just yet.
"You know what you have to do. If you do this, then I can't have you in the village, and will have to become a Missing Nin," said Sarutobi, as he had begun his investigation of the Uchiha Clan silently using his most trusted ANBU spy that was Uchiha Itachi.
"I owe Kushina-sensei everything for what she taught me to become stronger and I intend to protect Naruto in order to repay my debt back to her," said Itachi, as Kushina had been in a coma ever since giving birth to Naruto, and had yet to wake up.
"If only we could get Tsunade back here for a little while, then perhaps she could find a way to get Kushina out of that coma, and help raise Naruto," said Sarutobi letting out a sigh of defeat and wondered what it was that had made him so spineless in the first place.
"Maybe we could ask the Kyuubi. Its clear she is somewhat...fond of the boy and if we told her the situation would help us since the boy could use a Mother in his life," said Itachi seeing Sarutobi look at him with shock.
"No! Kyuubi must never know about Kushina. If she did, then the demon might kill the woman in secret rather then save her, and then the blame would be on us for not telling Naruto originally," said Sarutobi knowing that the boy may resent everyone in Konoha by the time this was over.
The only question now, was who was at the top of the boy's list?
"Very well. I will proceed with operation 'U-Clan Purge' right away in approximately 4 days Hokage-sama," said Itachi, as he left the Hokage's office, and the Hokage himself smoked his pipe to help deal with the stress of what happened.
"Minato, when I see you again, I'm going to make sure that you get the ass kicking of a lifetime that will be surpassed only by your wife, and your son for what you did. Always thinking with your heart and not your head was your flaw in life just as it was one of your greatest strengths too," said the Sandaime, as he looked out at Konoha with its people all running around doing their own thing not realizing that a terrible force ironically of their own creation was about to descend upon them.
(Namikaze Estate-3 Days later)
Kyuubi watched, as Naruto worked himself ragged the past couple of days since training started, and was impressed by his determination to push himself to the point of being unconscious. In a way, Naruto was the ideal student any teacher would give their right arm for, as he absorbed information like a sponge, and then manipulated it in a way that it would work for him if the traditional way didn't.
'I don't have to be sadistic in my training methods, the boy embraces them willingly, and its almost frightening,' thought Kyuubi, as she had done her fair share of making every bit of Naruto's training harsh, but the boy kept coming back for more, as if to say he did not care about the pain, and just kept on getting up for more.
As Revan expected, Naruto took to his training like fish do to swimming in water, and everything he had learned when training in the Shinobi arts. Basically, it was everything that it was before only...well easier in a sense, and progressed at an astounding rate.
Since that was the case, Kyuubi decided to teach Naruto more about his demonic powers, and how they were connected to nature itself. She also taught him how to fight in her Taijutsu style known as the "Kitsune Fist", which when incorporated into what Naruto already knew made his skills in hand to hand combat unmatched, and were devastating to say the least. Kyuubi also told him how to control his Youko form by channeling his human chakra while keeping his demonic chakra down to allow the transformation to go smoother. Kyuubi told him that when he became a full fledged demon in the future, he would be able to change into a full human like form at will, and simply pass off his traits as a bloodline limit.
Which was why he stood before Revan without tails, his fox ears gone, and his clawed hands normal with a slightly sharp edge to them just so he could feel some part of his demon side still active if just undetectable to anyone else. Revan himself was surprised how fast the boy had progressed in his training, but then realized it shouldn't be any real surprise, since Naruto was a Namikaze, and of the actual Namikaze Revan's descendant.
"I am pleased to hear from what Kyuubi has told me of your training, you progressed well, and the same can be said for learning to understand your new Force powers," said Revan seeing his apprentice nod and smile at him in accepting the compliment.
"Thank you Master. I understand you have a present for me," said Naruto, as HK-47 had told him he was getting a gift, and that it was a surprise.
"Yes. HK bring in the case," said Revan with HK-47 coming in at the command of his holocorn projected master.
"Yes Master. Here is the case you requested," said HK-47, as he presented a small metal case, and handed it to a curious Naruto.
When Naruto opened it, the case revealed two cylinder Lightsabers, and looked at each of them with awe at the design.
"Those at one point were the original Revan's Lightsabers," said Revan seeing the boy hand the now empty case to HK while getting a good feel for the two Lightsabers in his hands.
"I wouldn't recommend activating the Lightsabers just yet young Master. It's been many years since they were last used and require some repair work to make them operational again," said HK-47 since he didn't want those weapons to activate and blow up talking him apart in the process.
"Good point HK. I'll go to the workshop area and get the needed parts to update these," said Naruto, as he felt his hands practically tingling while holding onto these items, and for some reason they felt right to have in his hands.
"Smart move Naruto. HK, you will help Naruto get the needed parts, and help him with any questions he may have regarding the repairing of his Lightsabers," said Revan, as he emphasized on the word "his" to make it clear they were Naruto's from now on, and that they would be from this day forward until another Namikaze came along many years later should history repeat itself.
"Yes Master," said HK-47, as he motioned Naruto to follow him to the workshop, and Kyuubi would have followed, except Revan made a small hand motion for her to stay a moment.
"How is he? Aside from his training?" said Revan seeing Kyuubi have a small, almost gentle smile on her face, and her eyes seemed to have a small amount of gentleness in them too.
"Better. He still has a lot of anger inside of him. Are you sure you want him running off all around the village this early?" said Kyuubi, as she had talked to Revan about this before, and was a little hesitant to bring her new master out so soon in the thick of things.
"We can't keep him here forever and the boy will have questions that will be needed to be answered concerning his family More importantly about his Mother," said Revan, as Naruto had confided in the holocron about wanting to know about his Mother, and what became of her.
Revan had of course told Naruto that the only one that could answer that was the Hokage and that he would have to ask the old man for answers regarding that.
"I know that much. I already got Naruto-kun lots of privileges that only the Sannin could have or possibly get away with. Though what became of his human Mother even I don't know, but if she is alive, and neglected to take in Naruto I will see to it that there is hell to pay," said Kyuubi, as her form generated an incredible amount of demonic chakra around her, and her killer intent so powerful it made the holocrons in the room have a little spasm from the intense amount of energy.
"Calm down. I'm still needed here you know," said Revan, as he didn't want any of the holocrons damaged on either side, and with even one damaged would result in hindering Naruto's Force training.
"Fine! How is he coming along with your training?" said Kyuubi, as she had given her report on Naruto, and now she wanted to know about Revan's progress.
"He's learning much from his time with me. Naruto's becoming a true Grey Master like my real self was back when I was still fighting war after war," said Revan, as his holocrons helped him recall various battles he had during the Mandalorian Wars, and then later in the Jedi Civil War.
"It will take a lot more then us to help keep him balanced. A lot more," said Kyuubi, as she knew that while she along with Revan were both a good start in the beginning, the boy needed more, and Konoha was hardly the place for it.
At least with the old generation anyway.
(Konoha-1 Day Later)
"Are you sure you want to do this Naruto-kun?" said Kyuubi seeing Naruto now wearing the armored clothing of his ancestor in his size and was also wearing the same type of helmet too.
"Yes. I'm not afraid of them anymore," said Naruto, as his original fear of the villagers, and the Shinobi populace had always scared him when he was younger due to the past events with them.
"Nor will you be ever again. As long as I'm by your side, no one is going to get within spitting range unless I say they're okay, and I'm very protective of my new master," said Kyuubi hugging him from behind letting her assets press up against him making Naruto blush a little since he was still new to the whole touchy feely thing.
"Thanks Kyuubi-chan that means a lot to me. Now let's go and see what havoc we can create today," said Naruto making Kyuubi herself blush at the "chan" suffix he used and was pleased he used it.
They made there way out of the Estate, through the Shield Generator, and into the streets of Konoha's buzzing populace where their very presence created wave of things to come. The populace itself was surprised by these two, as they had never been seen before while wondering who they were, and where they came from. The Shinobi that did know from the meeting a few days ago however, did know exactly who Kyuubi was despite her concealment of her tails, and the lack of fox ears she sported during the meeting with the Hokage that she interrupted. They knew also suspected that the masked figure out in front while still slightly beside her was Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto and they had to be extra careful in not pissing the boy off. His current attire was nothing they had ever seen before with the armor, mask, and the dark robes that wrapped around his form like a shadow, and that if you were not careful would eat you alive.
"Cat, do you know where they are going?" said an ANBU Shinobi wearing a ferret mask on.
"Either to the Academy or the Hokage. Regardless, be on watch. This could be very bad or very good. We need to find out so be on alert," said the female cat masked ANBU, who turned to her ANBU team watching the duo from above on the rooftops, and saw her team nod before continuing their surveillance.
As Naruto and Kyuubi walked towards their destination, they received many stares from the village populace with the men wondering who the hot looking woman was, and with several females wondering who the well muscled man was behind the mask. It was one of things about the clothing Naruto wore, as it was tight looking on the outside, but really comfortable on the inside, and the mask help make him more mysterious. One of the things that attracts a woman to a man, is their desire to know more about him, and make them want more in the process.
"Quite the head turners, aren't we Naruto-kun?" said Kyuubi smiling and whispering to Naruto knowing only Naruto would hear her.
"It will be more when they learn who it is that lies beyond this mask, but before they do, I need to make myself known to the younger generation, and plant the seeds betrayal into their minds," said Naruto heading straight for the Academy knowing that only a young mind like their own can see past the hate.
"Oh, how deliciously evil Naruto-kun! I see your using your ancestor's training and your complex demonized mind to good use," said Kyuubi smirking at the boy that had become her master.
Naruto just gave her a brief nod before heading to the Academy, which he sensed made the ANBU watching him very nervous, and the newly made half-demon couldn't help the growing urge to smile at that behind his mask. Soon people will fear, respect him, and maybe find someone to love him for who he was rather then for what he was.
(Hokage Tower-Hokage's Office)
"So you've finally come out of the shadows Naruto. The only question now is, will you be a merciful warrior? Or, will you take your rage out on everyone in the village for their stupidity in their beliefs to hate you like they have in the past?" said Sarutobi sighing, as he watched the two through in his crystal ball head towards the Academy, and prayed he wasn't going to lose anymore people.
"You're seeing him now I take it," said Kakashi, as he entered through the window since the secretary had told him the Hokage didn't want to be disturbed, and knew it was a lie knowing full well the old man wasn't.
He also knew the secretary was on Danzo's payroll for spying. Something the Cyclops Shinobi told the Hokage years ago to keep the bandaged old fool in the dark about certain things.
"Yes. I'm concerned about what will happen at the Academy. I'm reluctantly holding back the urge to have every ANBU, Jounin, and Chuunin in the area converge on the Academy to try subduing the two," said the Sandaime, as his mind was half telling him to let the boy do whatever he wanted according to the deal made by Kyuubi herself, and the other telling him to have the two restrained until Jiraiya returned to fix this.
IF it could be fixed.
"It's probably best if Naruto does as he pleases Hokage-sama. You know as well as I do that there is a lot of anger inside of him just begging to be unleashed upon us. I don't think its wise to provoke either considering what one is and the other having unknown powers that could rival any of us. Including you I might add," said Kakashi, as he looked at the boy through the ball, and saw they were now entering the Academy.
It was now time to see what the boy would do.
(Inside the Academy)
Naruto walked through the halls passing students heading to class, teachers heading to class, janitors walking around, and various other personnel. Many turned their heads towards them just like the village populace outside, and when someone tried to stop him they found themselves flown into a wall or the ceiling before tasting hardwood floor.
The thing that startled everyone, was the fact that Naruto never touched them physically with his hands, and his actions towards the Chuunin teachers got everyone's attention that he was not to be messed with. Naruto walked through the Academy halls until he finally reached a room filled with students he sensed were filled with Clan Heirs and Heiresses'. The class was being taught by two Chuunin, one named Umino Iruka, and the other was his comrade named Mizuki.
"Hello there, can I help you with something?" said Iruka seeing the masked figure walk into the room silently with a commanding like stature only seen in a Hokage or high level Shinobi.
"Yes. I'm here to speak to the students in your class today about something important," said Naruto through his mask while making his voice become muffled thanks to one of the components in it that he activated.
"Okay. Do you have conformation from the Hokage? And what exactly did you want to talk about to the students?" said Iruka finding the boy was making him very on edge and concerned for his students while Mizuki breathing heavily at the sight of the two.
"No, I do not have confirmation from the Hokage nor do I need it. I do not answer to that old man and never will unless it benefits me in the end. As to what I wish to speak to your students about, it is also none of your concerns since if you yourselves try to tell them about it, the end result would require you all to die immediately, and given the nature of the law behind what I'm about to say...I suggest you keep your mouth shut," said Naruto seeing both Chuunin inhale a deep breath, as they now understood what law the man before them was talking about, and just who was behind that mask in question.
"Hey! Who are you?" said a boy with a puppy dog on his head who was now slightly whimpering in fear of Naruto and Kyuubi having smelled the scent of fox on them both.
"My name will be told later. Now onto what I have to say. You see about 8 years ago around the time you were born, a great demon known as Kyuubi attacked the village, and nearly won had it not been for the quick thinking of the Yondaime Hokage. He gave his life to defeat the great Demon Lord at the cost of his own life, but he didn't kill it, as your parents may have told you, or when you heard this part of it in your history class. What they told you regarding that, is nothing more, then a LIE!" said Naruto making the students gasp at this and whisper to each other at why people would lie to them like this.
"If the demon wasn't destroyed, then where is it, and why would the adults lie to us in the first place," said Shikamaru, who found the man's presence troublesome to such a level, he couldn't sleep, and the woman beside him had a look in her eyes that put the Nara's Mother to shame.
"The Demon Lord does in fact live despite what your parents and teachers have told you since they don't want you to know the truth. They feel that lying to you is much better despite the ironic fact that they most likely taught you to be honest in life like they say they are. Hypocrites, the village over I say. Anyway the Demon Lord Kyuubi no Kitsune was sealed away by the Yondaime inside a newborn child that had just been brought into this world and the child, the Yondaime's son no less, was to be seen as a hero for holding such a burden inside of his tiny body, and expected the people of the village to do so," said Naruto seeing the children gasp again and once more whisper on who the Namikaze boy was and with the girls if he was willing to go on a date with them.
'Namikaze? He means my guiding spirit!' thought Hinata, who looked at the figure, and wondered if the same person behind the mask was that person.
"Did the village honor the dying wish of the Yondaime?" said a fat boy named Choji, as he munched on some chips, and found the story interesting.
"No, they did not! Instead, the village tried to hurt and kill the boy multiple times, and even more so on his birthday thinking he was the Kyuubi when in fact they were more wrong then even knew. For you see, Kyuubi no Kitsune was in fact...a woman," said Naruto making the children gasp in shock and he saw Hinata crying from where she was on the fact that someone had tried to hurt the son of the Yondaime when it had been the Yondaime who was the one that saved them all.
"There actions are illogical, irrational, and would not be tolerated by the Hokage that is now the Sandaime," said Shino having understood his fair share of historical politics.
"Agreed. However, the Hokage made a law so no one other, then the vessel himself can tell you this information, and the penalty for anyone else that knows about the Kyuubi being inside of him that tells you is death without trial. However, as you can see not many people have died in the past 8 years because the two Councils have been using their power to override such orders for people, and it acts as encouragement for them to keep trying. What does that tell you?" said Naruto making the children go into deep thought and even the Nara was focusing hard on what he had just heard.
"That the two Councils are abusing their powers for their own ambitious gains to usurp the Yondaime's wish and the Sandaime's command law he left for people in the village to follow," said Shikamaru his eyes focused in concentration at this point.
"Correct!" said Naruto giving a clap to the Nara to signify he got it right while his claw like gauntlets made a metal clinking noise.
"Wait! You said that the law was passed so if anyone other then the Namikaze spoke of this, then that person would be put to death, and since you just did that wouldn't that mean you have to be killed now?" said Yamanaka Ino, as she wondered how the man was going to get out of this one, and if not would he have to die in front of them.
She hoped not.
"No. I am immune," said Naruto seeing the confusion from the group.
"Immune? How?" said Uchiha Sasuke, as he wanted to know, and like any Uchiha he always got what he wanted.
"Simple. I am Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto," said Naruto removing his helmet revealing raging blonde hair with steaks of red, semi-chiseled face, his whisker "birthmarks", and his blue eyes filled with an intensity that surprised everyone in the room.
'It's him! It's really him!' thought Hinata, as her eyes filled with joy, and her pale face became that of a crimson blush.
'It's Naruto!' thought Iruka shocked at this turn of events wondering why he hadn't seen it before.
'It's the demon boy and that demon bitch Kyuubi as well,' thought Mizuki snarling at the two since he had no love for either of them.
"Surprise! Now if you will kindly turn your attention to this lovely woman in front of me, I would like to introduce you all to the one, and the only Kyuubi no Kitsune," said Naruto making the student's eyes bug out of their sockets and fainted on the spot.
Though Hinata fainted for other various reasons.
"I think you overdid it Naruto-kun," said Kyuubi smirking at the boy, who turned to her, and shrugged since it didn't really matter at this point.
"Maybe. We'll see when they all confront their parents about it and ask questions later today," said Naruto before putting his helmet back on and walked out with her to see the Hokage.
(Hokage's Office)
"I can't believe he just gambled with the chance to bond with the current generation and told them about Kyuubi!" said Kakashi seeing the Hokage letting out a defeated sigh, as the plan Naruto had just done was in itself brilliant, and masterful in terms of a tactical move by the boy.
"It was a brilliant move Kakashi. If the current generation of Konoha cannot give Naruto a chance, then he will leave the village, and no doubt take everything he can from his clan home. Word will get out to the Feudal Lords and they will no longer come here to do business with us for this village's past crimes for what it did to its hero's son. The current generation being taught right now will hate their parents, they will unleash their own hate upon the old, and do everything in their power to make our lives miserable," said the old Hokage slumping back in his chair further into defeat.
"You don't mean that...?" said Kakashi, but the tired look on the Sandaime's face cut him off, and the old man simply nodded his head.
"Yes. Whatever happens next could cause an insurrection so great, only Naruto can stop it if he so wishes, and Kami help us if the old generation continues to fail," said Sarutobi wondering how he could ever make it up to Naruto if at all?
Kami help them all.
(A/N: YAY! How was it? Good? Bad? I hope it was good. Until next time...PEACE!!!)
