Kyuubi Reborn

Chapter Two: Acceptance


Author Notes: Here the second chapter. Something worth mentioning. Naruto will not suddenly become a badass that goes around killing shitloads of people and doesn't bat an eye. I will doing a gradual character transition. I hope that I can make it believable.

I will be updating Noctis Eternum next. No pairings have been set. For those confused about the alst chapter Naruto was trying to absorb the trees chakra and accidently latched onto a small bit of the Kyuubi's chakra inside his system. The chakra pulled more of itself along and soon the entirety of the Kyuubi's chakra was pulled.


The puddle in front of him reflected a face not his own. Ruby red orbs and a canine snout starred back at him. The water sprayed violently as Naruto swiped at his image in anger. He had steadily progressed in adapting to his new form. He had at first fallen over constantly until he learned how fox's walk.

Naruto cursed as he fell over again. He was not used to walking around with hind legs. He was desperately trying to figure this out. "Damn it I can't believe this is happening. I finally escape from Konoha and I become the demon that everyone believed I was..."

His voice had even changed. Where before a childish voice that bespoke his innocence now resided a guttural deep voice. "I think I might have it this time." Naruto slowly used his humanlike claws to lift his upper torso and tried to put weight on his hind legs. He growled in frustration. He slowly lifted himself and tried to walk around on all fours. He managed to walk for twenty minutes and finally got some experience in his new body.

"Finally!" He exclaimed.

Now that he finally could walk, albeit not like a human, he wondered how this happened. 'Could it possibly be because of the 'chakra drain technique?' I Suppose it's possible I accidently pulled in the Kyuubi's chakra. The Kyuubi was inside of me, so I can only guess.'

Naruto made his way back to his tent. He strode pass the small river he had been using to look at his reflection. He was around the size of a great Dane. He had tried experimenting with his new chakra and found he could change size at will. He could however get no smaller then he was currently. Every time he tried he felt every fiber in his being scream out in pain.

He opened the flaps to his tent and entered. The forbidden scroll of sealing laid open as always. It had been three days since he learned the chakra drain technique and he had put a halt on training until he could cope with the sudden change. Naruto was coping well considering just what had happened to him. He was upset and still was, but he had come to terms with the fact he might as well be the fox itself after Mizuki blew the villages dirty little secret. He had simply become what he already thought he was.

He opened the forbidden scroll and looked for something of interest. "Let's see here's one. Looks like another one by the third Hokage"

Third Hokage's Notes: "Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei: Is a jutsu that allows the caster to bring back the dead for an infinite duration at the cost of a human life. The revived undead is subject to the control of the caster and will regenerate any wound. The caster can also take away the revived free will and assume control over them like a puppet."

"Well my opinion of the old man just keeps going down...what's next?" Naruto mumbled.

Third Hokage's Notes: "I have achieved a breakthrough with Edo Tensei and successfully summoned the second Hokage in a revived state. When I began to perfect this Jutsu the revived would only be a fraction of their former strength, however my position as Hokage has allowed me access to materials I would otherwise not be able to acquire. Within the first year I have perfected this jutsu. The caster can use their own chakra to enhance the revived to a state beyond their prime. If you use enough chakra you could possibly reverse physical ailments before death, this however is theoretical."

Naruto took a thinking pose. 'Ok If I learn this I basically become a monster with no respect for the dead...well I'm a monster anyway and an invincible zombie army sounds cool.' Naruto kept reading on completely ignoring that little voice in the back of his head that told him he was just making excuses and that it was wrong to defile the dead.

Third Hokage's Notes: "I have recently discovered possibly the most amazing discovery and a greater use for Edo Tensei then even the Uzumaki could have thought of! The secret is..."

Naruto's eyes widened to plates.


Deep Underground Konohagakure


Orochimaru crept about his underground laboratory. His plans drew near and that fool Pein would know his place, beneath his feet. His laboratory was a large domelike structure that afforded a very wide area. Saying the complex was large was an understatement. It was over five hundred feet below ground and reinforced to withstand an earthquake. The entrance was carefully hidden behind the Hokage monument and any materials were carefully brought in under the guise of a secret trading route reserved for the Hokage only.

Orochimaru approached the main chamber of the complex. Hundreds of Root Ninja and a few scientists walked through the hallways. The scientists wore an expression of cool certainty. Orochimaru made sure they were paid handsomely and he had no shortage of money. He hired only the best and expected results. He of course did not wear his Hokage disguise in the complex, he made sure that he was perceived as on a secret assignment for the Hokage and that his defection was faked. He also made sure only the people within the complex and Danzo knew of the faux story. With his bases covered he could plan unhindered.

Orochimaru had killed both Hiruzen and Itachi with the same methods, Poison. Orochimaru was a deceiver and neither of the two S-ranked ninja expected poison in either their tobacco or pocky. He extracted both of their chakra and imitated them perfectly. For Hiruzen he played Hokage, and for Itachi he played the distant older brother that one night massacred his clan. He could only imagine how Pein had seen through his deceptions and managed to convince him to join his little group. Pein had only needed to offer him Immortality and with the fact the man possessed the Rinnegan Orochimaru caved in immediately.

Orochimaru walked into the main chamber and took in the site. Preparations were almost compete. In the main chamber resided ten pink hexagonal crystals surroundings a sealing circle. Each of the crystals had a person suspended within them. The people suspended were Edo Tensei Shinobi that would provide the power to the seal. Each of the Shinobi were Kage level and would be drained of their infinite chakra to power the chakra hungry seal. The sealing circle was filled with complex diagrams and a person was seen writing complex seals within it.

"Orochimaru I haven't seen you in so long!" Jiraiya exclaimed happily.

Orochimaru sighed, "Hello Jiraiya."

"That's no way to greet your best friend! Show me some love will you." Jiraiya laughed.

"Just give me a status update you buffoon. I haven't time for your jokes." Orochimaru snapped. He detested working with his perverted teammate, but it was necessary as he did not have the sealing knowledge to perfect this technique.

"Hehe maybe you need a little stress relief Orochimaru. Why don't you try my latest book Icha-Icha MILF T..." Orochimaru slapped Jiraiya upside the head.

Jiraiya rubbed the lump on his head, "What was that for!"

Orochimaru suppressed the urge to gut his teammate. "Do I need to remind you Hiruzen has given me authority over this project Jiraiya? I could easily convince him to ban those precious Icha-Icha books from Konoha if you start slacking."

A look of pure horror appeared on Jiraiya's face. Jiraiya shivered, "Nope! Nope! I won't slack oh mighty one!" Jiraiya said jokingly. Orochimaru fumed inwardly. Jiraiya was clearly mocking him.

Jiraiya gained a sudden disturbed expression, "So...any big news lately? Sensei has been keeping me here for awhile. I haven't even seen the daylight in a month. I'm pretty sure my spy network has been compromised by now and he doesn't even seem concerned. Is Sensei ok?"

Orochimaru thought how to answer that. Jiraiya still believed Sarutobi was alive. "He believes my research will bring us superiority over the other villages. This is the future Jiraiya and Sensei would not have faked my defection if he did not believe in me."

Jiraiya nodded. Orochimaru was secretly glad Jiraiya trusted Sarutobi so much. He probably believed Sensei was infallible and could not be beaten. Well that was true in the traditional sense. Most people don't fight after smoking poison for an extended period of time.

"So what do you need this for anyway. From what I've seen this is some sort of dimensional portal, but also acts as a suppression circle?" Jiraiya asked.

Orochimaru decided to answer honestly, "We have received intelligence that in a few months that all the nations will be attacked simultaneously by an army of Edo Tensei Shinoi. This portal if it works will allow me to Summon something that should take care of that little problem."

Jiraiya drew in a sharp breath. Orochimaru could not fault him. Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru like he had lost his head, "What in Kami's name could you summon that could fight an entire army of revived Shinobi? You realize they all regenerate right? No matter how powerful something is they cannot single handedly fight off an undying army with infinite chakra."

Orochimaru chuckled. Jiraiya was about to yell at his teammate when Orochimaru walked over to a chair and sat down. "My dear ignorant teammate. I perfected the Edo Tensei and I of all people would know it's weaknesses. I have devised a way to deal with this problem and the man orchestrating it all. Trust me when I say I know exactly what to summon."

The way Orochimaru said that did not make Jiraiya feel any easier. He got chills imagining what could possibly be strong enough to destroy an Edo Tensei army.


Frost Country


Naruto sat the scroll down and thought heavily. The greatest asset of the Edo Tensei was its ability to provide the revived with Infinite chakra. The revived Edo Tensei could be harnessed for their infinite chakra to power seals that otherwise could not be powered. With Infinite chakra any conceivable seal could be created and powered forever. The notes stopped sometime last month and no more notes were made on it. However there was a reference to a dimensional summoning seal but he could not find it yet. The forbidden scroll was vast in its knowledge and it would take time to find something specific.

Naruto once again brought his razor sharp hands up and starred at them. He had still not gotten quite used to the notion of claws or his new body. He took out a kunai from a knapsack and tried to cut into his hand. The kunai broke when he applied pressure and he did not even feel so much as a nudge. Whatever his body was made of was infinity stronger then steel. He curiously grated his claw against the Kunai and watched as his claw cut through the steel like butter. Almost invisible wisps' of Youki trailed out as his clawed forefinger cut the kunai in half.

He examined the remains of the kunai curiously. The section that was cut was bright red and seemed to have been cut with a great amount of heat. He brought his hand slowly to the kunai and touched the burning hot metal.

Nothing. He felt nothing and frowned. He pressed harder and the Kunai shattered into pieces. Pieces flew everywhere and pelted him. The pieces shattered on impact and he blinked. The tent has thousands of small holes in it. 'What the...'

Deciding to test this further he stalked outside the tent and approached a large stone. He got up on his haunches and punched the rock. The rock exploded from the strength of the blow.

"...That's awesome!" Naruto started punching tree, rocks, and anything that looked like it might have hurt him to punch before his transformation. Rocks shattered, trees exploded into splinters and the ground cratered. "This is awesome. I can't shatter rocks like nothing. Take that Konoha! I'll prove you all wrong about me. Naruto Uzumaki is the Kyuubi and he's no cowardly traitor!"

So excited Naruto's tails started swinging around. He unconsciously channeled Youki into his tails. When one of the tails slammed into the ground something unexpected happened.

'What the...OH SHIT!" A massive earthquake started to rock the snowy forest. A nearby mountain collapsed. Naruto fell over as the trembling became tremendous. The Nearby Lake drained as a massive sinkhole formed in the bottom and drained the water. Landslides rocked the hills to the north. In a small village closer to the land of lightning people ran screaming as buildings collapsed and fires started to burn out of control. A messenger ran from the village towards Kumogakure. The man was a ninja and felt the massive chakra burst signaling a bijuu attack.

Naruto chuckled nervously, "Well that wasn't expected." The landscape around him was utterly destroyed and he now knew the tales of the Kyuubi causing earthquakes and Tsunami's with a mere swing of its tails was no exaggeration.

Saying the landscape was devastated was an understatement. He must have unconsciously channeled over a thousand Jonin level reserves and he barely felt the loss! Vaguely he remembered the story of how the first Hokage Hashirama Senju tamed all Nine Bijuu with ease. 'That man must have been a god or something' Naruto thought.

After appreciating the destruction for a bit he decided to head back to his camp. He had not moved for some time and figured maybe he should leave after that little display. Someone was sure to have felt that.

He made it back to it tent and started sealing everything into a storage scroll. Thankfully the seal on his arm that held his armor was somehow still intact after his transformation and had enough space to seal the forbidden scroll into. The seal was under the fur and thankfully not visible. He had not needed to eat since his transformation so he did not need food. He guessed eating was just something he could do for fun.

"Ok now where to?" Lightning country was out of the question and surely he could not return to fire country. Not many people would take a red nine tailed fox well if they saw him. Almost any person would assume he was a malicious demon. That left well...no one.

'Ok let's see. People will run in fear of you and Shinobi will attack on sight. Where would no one expect the Kyuubi to hide?' Naruto thought. A proverbial light bulb lit over Naruto's head and he could not believe he had not thought of it before.


A nondescript man in his twenties walked along a gravel road. His destination was only a few moments away. He wore a dark traveling cloak and concealed his face with a straw hat. The man approached the Village of Kiragakure with a confident gait. Finally he arrived at his destination. Two gate guards noticed him and took out their weapons.

"Drop it bud. I recognize a henge when I see one" Yelled one of the gate guards. The figure stopped and sighed.

"I was so sure this would work." The man grumbled.

"Drop the Henge or prepare to be attacked." The guard demanded.

"Fine fine just chill." The man said. The henge dropped and smoke covered the man's form. Once the smoke cleared the guards drew in a sharp breath.

Naruto Uzumaki stood in front of the terrified guards. "An A-ranked criminal on Kirigakures doorstep. You must have a death wish Uzumaki!"

One of the guards motioned to an ANBU henged into a tree, "Quickly alert Mei-Sama that an A-ranked Criminal is at our gate, hurry!"

The ANBU ran off and Naruto was alone with the two gate guards. The gate guards expected an attack at any moment and prepared for the fight of their lives.

Naruto surprised them by just standing there. 'Luckily they didn't notice the second henge under the first. Purposely making a faulty henge over a near perfect one was genius. Kage bunshin is so good for training. The first henge will make them believe me incapable of performing genjutsu and make it all easier to fool them.' He thought.

The Mizukage arrived and he was surprised to see the Mizukage was smoking hot. The Mizukage was a women in her late twenties with fiery red hair and an impressive bust. She had a slim figure and wore a long blue dress with the Mizukage robe over it.

She was accompanied by a whole platoon of Kiri ANBU and the Head of Kiri's hunter Nin division Ao. Mei looked at Naruto with a glare, "What business does a missing ninja have with Kirigakure?"

Naruto smirked, "I'm not here for a fight. I'm here to make an offer that I would like to propose to you."

Mei had a predatory look in her eyes when he said that. She sauntered over to him. He felt nervous but hid it behind a veneer of coolness. Mei gave Naruto a sultry look as she appraised him. "I think we could come to an agreement if you hand over that forbidden scroll I heard you stole." Mei said in a deceptively sweet voice.

"Mei-Sama you cannot seriously be considering accepting this criminal are you?" Ao said with disbelief.

"Ao shut up. I can clearly see this boy has need of a new home. After all Konoha was clearly not taking care of dear Uzumaki here."

Naruto felt like he was in front of a shark, and he was the prey. 'This woman is sharp and is much more experienced than me. I got to watch my back.'

Naruto decided that indulging her would be in his best interest in this situation. Having them belief him a petulant child was far better than if they knew the truth. "Yes...your right. Konoha did not appreciate me like I felt I should have been treated."

Mei was surprised. She was honestly trying to get a rise out of the blond. She did not expect the Uzumaki to have left for such petty reasons. 'Well no matter the last Uzumaki would make a fine addition to kirigakure. After he breeds a new generation I can simply dispose of him.'

"Mei-Sama I protest this. This dog should be taken and executed like the traitor he is! In my day w.." Mei interrupted him. "Ao shut up or I will kill you."

Ao closed his mouth and a bead of sweat appeared on his brow. That brought a smile to Naruto's face. He had been hoping the fool would shut his mouth for quite some time. Mei extended a hand to Naruto, "Let us talk in my office Uzumaki-San"

Naruto took her hand and shook it. He bowed out of respect and followed Mei to her office. He walked through the giant gates of Kirigakure and looked at all the shops and people. Most of the people were extremely happy. He did hear that recently a civil war had ended so he could see that they would be happy about it ending.

Villagers and Shinobi whispered as they saw the Mizukage and a blond boy walk side by side, followed by an ANBU contingent. Naruto heard whispers asking who he was and if he was a foreign dignitary. Possibly a noble?

Naruto chuckled. This drew Mei's attention and he mumbled "Nothing." They finally arrived at the Mizukage tower and Naruto marveled how similar it was to the Hokage tower

"You know it's not that different from the Hokage tower" Naruto said offhandedly.

Mei nodded, "They are based off the same design. Something about a rising pillar of hope for their respective villages. Every village makes their own tweaks but it's basically a large tower."

Naruto almost gave a start when Mei laid a hand on his shoulder. His tails almost impaled her but he suppressed the urge. It wouldn't be good for invisible tails to impale the Mizukage.

"Something wrong...Naruto." The Mizukage said in a sweet voice.

"What no. I'm fine Mizukage." Mei starred at him satisfied. Naruto fumed inwardly. Mei had gotten the upper hand with that brief exchange. She knew she could make Naruto tick. 'That bitch. Wait...when did I start getting angry so easily?'

Mei made no effort to hide her smirk. She was a politician and knew exactly how to press peoples buttons. She saw the way Naruto tensed when she grabbed his shoulder. He was like a feral animal ready to attack. She actually was ready to spit out a glob of lava if he made a move. 'This boy is so easy to read. He's just another brute driven by his Hormones.'

Naruto meanwhile was thinking how to get the upper hand in their invisible battle. He needed to take some of her confidence away or she would walk all over him. He had just the plan.

The two stepped into the Mizukage office. Mei took her seat behind her desk while Naruto grabbed a chair and sat down. Mei motioned for the ANBU to leave the room and put up a barrier. Naruto tensed.

"Now while I'm interested in an Uzumaki joining Kirigakure I would like that forbidden scroll foremost." Mei purred.

Naruto was thinking quickly. He had it! Naruto chuckled, "If you want the forbidden scroll I want citizen status and a clan compound. As the last Uzumaki I should have preferential treatment you know? If I didn't know better I would think you were trying to cheat me."

Mei's face slightly reddened but she kept herself in control. This brat was getting on her nerves. "Yes I'm sure someone of your pedigree would desire an appropriate living space. I only have a few requirements. "

The way she phrased the last part made Naruto suspicious. She was planning something. Mei acted her part and played the interested and seductive Kunoichi. This boy was going to be putty in her hands.

Mei put a pouty face, "Well you see we don't have many clans left in the village and we are running short on bloodlines. We need to repopulate and I'm sure you've heard about the Uzumaki endurance bloodline. All Uzumaki have much more chakra and stamina then the normal ninja."

Naruto knew where this was going. 'Hmm so she's got me here but can I use this to my advantage? I don't think Bijuu can get a woman pregnant...can they? Damn I wish I was more in my element. Politics is not my strength. Just play it cool and agree. It can't be that bad right? Those lessons in politics from the old man are really coming in handy, though he stopped two years ago for some reason.'

Mei smirked inwardly. She had him. With Naruto she could gain a better quality of ninja and hopefully some of the Uzumaki's renowned Fuinjutsu knowledge if he had any. Her life was dedicated to Kirigakure and she would stoop to any level to be at the top.

"Yes, I can see you've realized what I'm asking. I would require you to bed many women to recreate the Uzumaki clan. You can rest assured you will not need to see them more than once. I have no interest in them marrying you unless the feeling is mutual." Mei intoned.

Naruto would usually decline such an offer, but strangely as with many other things he was looking forward to it. Mei smirked at him and smiled in a seductive manner. For some reason he wanted to pounce the woman in front of him and take her by force. He felt himself harden and groaned. He used all his willpower to force the feeling down. If he lost control over his henge he was royally fucked.

Mei noticed Naruto become visibly uncomfortable. She had won. 'Hook line and sinker. Teenagers are easy.' She had an inner laugh not realizing how much danger she was in.

Naruto meanwhile was having trouble controlling himself. Like an inner animal being unleashed his instincts were yelling at him to take the lusty woman in front of him and make her scream his name. Dangerously close to giving in and forcing himself on the Mizukage he tried to focus on his mind. His mind was telling him that if he fucked this up it was over and that he needed to leave now.

The mind won. 'Fuck it! Better hurry this up before I lose it' he thought.

Mei mistook Naruto's pained look for some moral dilemma. In truth he was trying hard to keep control. "Thank you Mei-Sama for such a considerate offer. I'm quite interested in the prospect. I will gladly repopulate the Uzumaki clan for you. Of course I expect all the power and privilege that comes with a clan head position. I expect a seat on the Kiri council and for the forbidden scroll I want to be your direct advisor."

Mei almost fell out of her chair, "OUT OF THE QUESTION!" She slammed her fist on her desk, "Do you take me for a fool Uzumaki!"

Naruto suppressed a growl. His reason was warring with his instincts. He had a plan damn it, he didn't need this right now! He finally suppressed his physical urges after a moment. It was time to snip this in the bud. "Mei-Sama I assure you that I am quite capable. I am a fairly capable ninja and I know a bit about politics." It was true he had been forced to study politics by the old man though he did not study much. He could simply abuse shadow clones and learn the entire Kiri library if he wanted in truth.

Mei calmed down slightly. She was not used to dealing with such an audacious person. In truth had it been anyone else or a person without a bloodline she would have simply killed them for making such outrageous demands. The Kage were dictators of their respective villages and if they were seen as weak then it opened the ground for aggression. She slipped up and needed to get the high ground again. Naruto's attitude was seriously pissing her off. This was a missing nin at the age of thirteen and he thought he could make demands of her, ridiculous. Still she needed his bloodline and the forbidden scroll, so she could concede some of her dignity. She would indulge his childish fantasy of being her advisor, nothing of harm could come of it.

Mei let out a deep breath. For the forbidden scroll of sealing and a revived Uzumaki clan she would give him what he wanted. "Alright I will give what you ask. You must first handover the scroll and I expect you to bed the first woman within the week."

Naruto gave an inward cheer of victory. He had won a political battle with a kage. "Thank you Mei-Sama I truly appreciate your generosity. Here is the forbidden scroll."

Naruto pulled unsealed the forbidden scroll from the seal on his right arm. Mei eyed it hungrily. What Mei did not know was Naruto removed several of the Hokage's techniques such as the Edo Tensei, Chakra Drain, and anything else he deemed too dangerous. He had of course learned them all on the way to the village by abusing shadow clones. Since he was now basically immortal he did not need to worry about his brain liquefying from forming too many shadow clones. Naruto knew everything there was to know in the forbidden scroll and he just needed to practice what he had learned to mastery.

Mei took the Forbidden scroll and tucked it way behind her chair. She tried to restrain her eagerness to start learning it's secrets. "Thank you Naruto I will assure you a clan compound and immediately install you as my personal advisor. Some will disagree but I can put them in their place. Do not think this means you can command my forces however."

"Of course not." Naruto said cheekily.

Mei's eyes hardened, 'Good, just remember you are an advisor only and cannot command my Shinobi. You can only command your eventual clan members. Now I have an empty clan compound that you can use. I expect you to begin repopulation within the week. I can have a suitable list of recipients in that time. I will of course assure they are to your liking."

Naruto laughed, "Oh Mei-Sama you are a charmer. I am happy my Kage aims to please." Mei did not miss the obvious connotations Naruto was making.

Mei beamed, "Oh Uzumaki-San I think you should go see your new compound. Men who give me too many complements tend to melt when I return the favor." Wisps of green vapor escaped her mouth and Naruto thought now would be a good time to leave the scary female Kage to her paperwork.

"Yup, I think I'll leave you to your paperwork." Naruto said quickly. He could sense the hidden threat. Ever since he transformed he could detect negative emotions. He also wanted to leave before his instincts reared themselves again.

Mei pressed a button on her desk. An ANBU with a shark mask walked inside the room. "You need me Mizukage-Sama?"

Mei nodded, "Yes my new friend here will be taking the former Yuki compound for himself. Assure him a nice tour and help him get familiar with the village."

The ANBU was stunned and nodded dumbly. "Yes Mizukage-Sama."

Naruto followed the ANBU out the door. He wondered just how he managed to pull that off. He managed to get a kage to agree to his terms and still come out of it alive. 'She's still so hot. This makes it pretty awkward working with her.'

The ANBU showed Naruto around the city. He showed Naruto all the bars and best shops. After that he showed Naruto around the harbor where Kirigakure's warships were produced. The man went into a monologue about the history of the village and Naruto listened raptly. Naruto was interested in the fourth Mizukage Yagure, who was a Jinchuuriki.

"...And so our dear Mizukage Mei threw the tyrant Yagura into a pool of lava and ended the tyrants rein over our village." The ANBU exclaimed.

The two now stood in front of the compound as the ANBU had explained the entire history of the village. The only parts Naruto found interesting was the part about Yagura and the first Mizukage. From what the ANBU said the first Mizukage along with the Tsuchikage, Kazekage, and Raikage joined forces to kill Hashirama Senju. After Madara defected from Konohagakure the other villages finally saw an opportunity to eliminate the strongest man in the world.

All four Kage and over one thousand Jonin from each village teamed together and ambushed the first hokage while he was headed for a lone diplomatic mission. All of the five thousand Jonin were from the clan wars and grizzled war veterans. The ANBU could not tell Naruto how the battle happened, only that Hashirama Senju emerged victorious, only to later succumb to his wounds. All four kage and the five thousand shinobi had been slaughtered to the last man. When Hasirama succumbed to his wounds Iwa attacked Konohagakure which in turn sparked the first Shinobi world war.

Naruto was amazed and terrified as he did not think even the former Kyuubi could have done such a thing. Hashirama and Madara were not human. There was no possible way they could be. Naruto's mind refused him to believe such a thing. They were monsters just like him.

After all the explanations were said and done Naruto walked through his new compound. The compound laid on the outskirts of the village near a small lake. The water was crystal clear. The compound was about half the size of the Uchiha clan and had a small district. It could potentially hold a few hundred people at most. He walked into a large Dojo reserved for the clan head. It was built into the clan heads home and featured a three story mansion.

The ANBU showed Naruto inside the compound and into his bed chambers. Naruto looked around the bedroom. Inside was a king sized bed and a a miniature built in. A door in the bedroom led to a bathroom with a large bathtub that could fit several people. The ANBU motioned for Naruto to follow.

"So what could be more impressive then what I've seen so far eh?" Naruto asked.

The ANBU chuckled, "I think you will be surprised. The Yuki clan was quite wealthy before they all died out."

Naruto walked into the backyard and onto a patio. He blinked. A large hot spring resided behind the clan heads mansion. "Well you weren't lying. Mind if I settle in now?"

The ANBU laughed, "Sure go ahead. I'll be back tomorrow if you need anything. Mei-Sama will visit in a few days. Something about the finer details of your deal as she put it."

The way the ANBU phrased it made it sound so wrong. "Okay see ya around." Naruto retorted. When the ANBU was gone Naruto let out a huge sigh. He canceled the henge and his true form was revealed to the world. A Rust red furred fox stood in Naruto's place. His tails swayed excitedly as he hopped into the hot springs. The water splashed as Naruto floated to the surface, "Damn I needed that."

He relaxed and let his worries melt away. 'Plan to get a new home complete. Now to figure out what to do next.' He was worried about something though. He had lost control back in the kage office. That was not acceptable. He should not be so eager to have sex with a woman he had never met. Mei had basically strung him along until he regained control. It seemed that his transformation brought him closer to his animal instincts then he would like. The thought of Mei made him both mad and aroused. She had dared to talk down to him, he wanted nothing else than to give into his instincts and take her, yet the human within him warred with this.

"Blah I can figure this out later. I need a day to relax. " Indeed he would be spending the rest of the day living the fine life in his new private mansion and hot springs. Could life get better?


In a dimly lit room mechanical whirling was heard. Twin orbs opened with concentric lines emanating from a dot like pupil. "I can tell you are tense, Madara."

A figure detached from the shadows behind Pein, or known by a select few as Nagato. "The Kyuubi Jinchuuriki is missing Nagato. When we launch this invasion chaos will surely muddy our spy networks. Find the Jinchuuriki's location before we launch the invasion. Once you have done so initiate the plan immediately. We must storm the villages before they hide away the Jinchuuriki."

Nagato eyes reflected a cold anger at being told what to do. He still hated the fact he was muscled into working for this man. Pein was a god. Still, Madara knew about his original body and could dispose of him any time. He would bide his time and finish Madara off one day. Until then he would work for Madara as the two's goals were parallel, or so he believed.

"Understood...Madara-Sama" Madara regarded his subordinate smugly. "Good see to it that you succeed. I won't tolerate failure."

Madara left in a swirling distortion and Pein wanted to scream in anger. He would have his revenge against the immortal Uchiha no matter what.
