The return of Raven
Naruto had finally got Sasuke back. It had taken some time for the village to trust the Uchia again but today was a good day. Today team seven (Kakashi, Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke) had met up with Lord Gaara, Temari and Kankuro. They were discussing the trouble the Akuski was causing when it happened. One moment they were walking along one moment when suddenly they fell through a portal, only Temari and Kankuro managed to maintain their balance. The rest were sucked through to another portal.
But that was even the scariest part, the Nine-tails was out of Naruto!
To be fair the Nine-tails was still in a cage, a glass one that he couldn't get out of but he wasn't inside Naruto anymore. That wasn't all though, Fox instead of being the furious enoumous Fox that Naruto was use to seeing. Instead the Nine-tails…was almost human looking except the fox ears and nine fox tails.
"What the hell?" Naruto said staring at the beast, eyes wide.
"What can I say brat? I'm a hell a lot more comfortable here at home, then if you're crazy messed up world." The demon snapped glaring at him.
"Home?" Naruto asked surprised.
"Geez…don't you have ears brat?" the demon huffed. "This is where I was born…for lack of a better term."
Suddenly a young girl with light blue hair and dark blue eyes in long white robes appeared she looked startled at the sight of them, but when she saw Fox, fear flashed in her eyes.
"I am Kia, High Priestess of Mount Kano. Who are you and what are you doing here?" the girl demanded.
"I'm Kakashi Hatake and this is my team, Sasuke Uchia, Sakura Haruno, and Naruto Uzumaki." the leader replied.
"I'm Gaara, Kazekage of the sand this is my sister Temari and brother Kankuro. We kind of stumbled across this place." Gaara told her.
"A portal. Huh…King Tenzen must want you here for something. Well welcome to Aurora." Then she studied Naruto. "You and Fox are bond are you not?"
"Fox?" Naruto said flashing the demon a teasing grin. "Nice name. He…well… in my world is sealed inside of me."
"That explains it. Our rules are not the same as yours. You can't seal a demon inside someone here. I suspect this"- she waved her hand at the glass cage. "Is our worlds way of sealing demons…you can probably still draw his chakra if you want. But be careful the more chakra you take the more the cage wears down, when it breaks then Fox will get it out." Yep the cage is the Aurora version of the seal.
"Thanks." Naruto said. Kia nodded.
"I can get you all back home if you wish." Kia said.
"I AM home." Fox snarled.
"I wasn't asking you." Kia quipped. "You and Naruto are bonded, you have to go weather you want to or not." Fox roared at her. She shivered but stood her ground. "Sorry, you're stuck. By the way Naruto, the cage will move automatically with you, you don't have to carry it. Shall I take you to the place, King Tenzen will help you get back home."
"Yeah, go ahead." Kakashi said feeling totally out of his element.
They traveled for days, Fox grumbling the whole time but they were days away. When it happened. They were traveling along the spirit river when a single raven feather drifted past. Sasuke saw it.
"Look." He said nudging Naruto. Naruto looked and smiled. He knew what the Uchia was thinking about. Itachi. Sasuke reached out-
"NO! DON'T TOUCH IT!" roared Fox suddenly. Sasuke froze. Fox's eyes were locked on the feather his eyes wide with disbelief, shock and confusion. But they were gone in a flash.
"Inaka." Fox whispered.
