8th May Tenth year after Kyubi.
Near peak of Mount. Unraikyo, Lightning country.
One of two Kumo-nin that stand in guard duty at middle mountain stairway sneezed hard; causing his partner flinched watching him holding his nose.
Sudden rustling bush near gate make them wary, after few minute check-up, they found nothing.
"Are you sure?"
"Hey! It's not my imagination you know? You heard that to, right?"
"But, it's nothing there"
"Yeah you checked it to, right?"
"Anyway, who want to climb here?"
"Yeah, you right?"
"The only living being on the peak is Ushi-Oni, nothing else!"
"Who want to meet him... except his brother and students?"
The two guard-nin continuing their chatter, oblivious streak orange piece of cotton-fabric that not exists under bush minute ago.
Hour later, peak of mountain stairway.
Blue eyes blond-haired nine year old boy with whisker mark on his cheek panting hard, dressing in black ANBU-style pant, dark blue sleeveless t-shirt covered by orange jacket that torn in few place, shuriken holster strapped on his left hip and kunai holster strapped on his hip and right leg, pair black tanto on his calf, single black colored kodachi and small travel-bag rested on his back, few scroll strapped hidden under his jacket.
The boy name is Uzumaki Naruto, Konoha scapegoat, Jinchuriki of Nine Tailed beast, Kyuubi no Kitsune, that attacking Konoha ten years ago.
"Are those nin idiots?" curse the boy to no one.
"Let's finish this before those old-crone found my substitute." regaining his breath, he move forward in front of veil covered cave and calmly calling whoever inside.
"Who dare to disturb the Great Eight!" loud roaring beast following shouting from within the cave, followed by wave of killing intent.
"Last Uzumaki survivor!" answered the blond, his body rigid as steel ready to defend any attack.
Silence reigned around, even the wind stop breezing. Suddenly, huge spike killing intent spewing from behind the veil covered cave making the boy hard to breath and spike his own killing intent to protect himself.
Red purple tentacle made from chakra shooting from inside the cave latching around the boy torso pulling him inside.
Inside the cave, huge male figure with eight chakra octopus like tail hold the boy scanning his captive. No light inside, but the eight-tailed male obviously doesn't need any type lamp or light to see with his eyes. Their eyes meet azure sky and dark crimson meet in stagnant stare.
"You're not lying… but, as I recall Uzumaki is red-head and their eyes are jade-green." The tailed-figure asking his captive, "you're blond and blue eyes remind me to some nin from Konoha that manage to crippling my student movement." He continued still not releasing the blond that start to clench his knuckle and force ripping the tentacle off.
"My mother is Uzumaki… maybe my father is the same man in your perception."
The blond boy statement surprising the tailed-figure, from his memory he knows every single Uzumaki refugee that move to any country, but from Konoha. Only one name that match to the boy description.
"Is your mother name Kushina?" ask the tailed-figure shaking.
"Yes… her name is Kushina. Uzumaki Kushina, and my name is Naruto."
Loud howl forcing the blond to take few steps backward and shielding his body from demonic energy that generated from tailed-figure that now crying and keep mumbling unable to protect the lost Uzu royalty from her enemy.
Half hour later, still within the cave. The blond boy and tailed-figure now talking seriously, the topic of their conversation is revolving around the boy heritage and skill.
"Somebody approaching this place!" Naruto stopped their discussion, tilting his head and sniffing the air. "The figure carried demonic entity in smaller scale than us, and familiar with this mountain terrain."
"Maybe… my niece, Yugito, she carried Nekomata within her." The tailed-figure that named himself Hachi-Kira, Kirabi or Killer-Bee calming the blond.
"Your own family? Did your clan really that bastard?"
"Nah… they are dead, my brother E killed them year's ago."
"After Hyuuga incident?"
"Yeah… those old-crones signed their own death warrant."
"Here she comes…"
Blond female figure around fifth-teen year old bursting inside the cave, to see blue flame floating at the center of the cave illuminating the usually dark cave. She was not surprised to see Killer-Bee, but stare from blond boy that she not recognized making Nibi no Nekomata within her nervous and keep mumbling about master and mistress.
She rushed to Mt. Unraikyo after Nibi keep asking her to visit Hachibi container, her own uncle, in his training ground. Nibi never said her reason, but keep annoying her container to comply her request. And after tiredly reaching Killer-Bee place, Nibi keep pacing within her mind and mumbling about unable to greet her master messenger, and attending her mistress needs.
If her tenant nervous and keep mumbling about her master and mistress, the female new comer has mesmerized by two most blue orbs she ever seen that almost make her feeling being stripped from any emotional mask she placed on her.
Nervous and irritated treated like new merchandized at store, she drove fierce attack toward the boy and meets another surprise; her own uncle Killer-Bee stopping her.
"What are you doing, Bee? Why there is foreign-nin in this place?" she demanded before facing the younger male.
"Who are you? You are not Cloud-nin! Why you here? Why Nibi afraid of you?"
Barrage question toward the blond boy from Yugito make the boy snickered, before asking back flashing foxy-like grin to her.
"Did she always attack first question later?" he ask toward Bee, that tilting his head in confusion to see his quest reactions.
Unable to protest, Yugito blushed several shade of red making Kirabi rising eyebrow recalling no one able to make Yugito blushed, but Uzu-survivor in front of him able and alive. Waving his hand like facing everyday conversation, Naruto continued.
"Anyway, name is Uzumaki Naruto, age… Ten, from Konoha, and why Nibi afraid is… because I'm jailor of Kyuubi no Kitsune."
Naruto statement making Yugito paled as paper sheet and Nibi within her cowering in the corner of her mind. She was about to attacking Kyuubi and she knows her brother partner, Hachibi is having strong connection about Uzumaki family.
Instantly she kneeling and stated herself. "Pardon me for my rude action Naruto-sama, I humbly receive any punishment that given to me."
Hearing her statement and seeing her action, Naruto and Killer-Bee unable hold their laughter. Several tick marks appear on Yugito temple making them stop, Hell hath no fury like a woman scorn, their mind scream warning sign.
"No need to worry, Yugito-san." Naruto said after managed to control his breath, "No harm done, but refrain yourself to attack first question later, okay? Except mission of course…"
"Thank you Naruto-sama." Her breath more calm after hearing his word.
"Don't add more Sama, Naruto is fine." Muttering about not old enough to be called old or respect word from anyone older.
"Yes Naruto-sama." Her answer earning tick mark on Naruto head, payback is bitch.
Meanwhile, Killer-Bee watching their interaction and cannot help himself to giggling and keep watching them, collecting blackmail material toward Yugito.
Naruto keeping his eyes toward Yugito, that now squirm under his stare and switching his stare toward Killer-Bee before frowned.
"Yugito-san, why there is extra seal above your four point seal?"
This question make Killer-Bee head turned and shock showed on his face, Yugito lowering her head embarrassed before answered.
"The council and their wisdom decide that I need another seal to leash Nibi." Angry growl within her mind make her winced.
"Bullshit!" Naruto retorted, "That's not normal-leash seal, which was exploding static-leash seal that make you unable to channel Nibi power and limiting your chakra control!"
Two spike of killing intent rolling out from the cave enveloping whole mountain, make the stair guard whimpered in fear.
"I can destroy it."
Yugito and Killer-Bee head snapped toward Naruto and shuddering in fear seeing his eyes now gaining rainbow ring around the pupil.
"Shinigami-sama eyes." Yugito muttered hearing Nibi telling her the eyes in front of them. Her uncle straightened up and gained several shade of white on his skin pigment.
"Your decision?" asking Naruto, drawing one of his tanto. Black steeled guard-less tanto with kanji 'Nanaya' carved on side of the blade.
