Vocaloid 09: Unit Naruto
Disclaimer: I do not own Vocaloid or any and all official/fan-made characters, except my own fan-mades. I do not own Naruto, the characters of the manga, but my own fan-mades. Which in those, my fan-mades are Sekai and Rin Ishtal.
Chapter Two
Gakupo had rushed to the young woman and carried her to the couch to lie down in, while Naruto, Len, and Rin shared confused looks.
"Okay, that was weird... is she sick or anything? We can't have someone as security for us during our trip if you have a sick shinobi on your team."
"No, she isn't sick... she's... like that sometimes," said Kakashi, fighting against whether or not he should just ask. Then again, right now, there were too many unknowns. It was a known fact that Naruto vanished when he was captured, yet if this was THE same former Jinchuuriki, then why is he a teenager again?
"I'll trust your word for it, but I can't pay her if this keeps up," Sekai tells Kakashi, before turning to the others, "go back to whatever you were doing... Naruto, I need to talk to you."
"Sure," Naruto shrugs, as Len and Rin return to their room to resume working on a duet song called Music World. Miku gently squeezed Naruto's hand, which made him smile before the leek loving girl returned with the Ishtal girl to resume lunch. Kaito and Meiko returned to the game of chess they had out, and Gumi returned to watching television.
"Now Naruto.... I came to talk to you about Kyuubi."
The ninjas perked up hearing the name of the dreaded nine-tailed fox demon.
"What about her?"
"Once again, she is causing mischief... do you realize the police had her cuffed and collared and in a cage all because you allowed her to roam the city?"
He returned lifting a cat carrier, and inside was a muzzled nine-tailed fox, Kyuubi.
"Oh Kyu-Kyu!" Naruto cried, prying the cage open and yanking his fox out, hugging her tightly, "I thought you were going to keep out of trouble!"
Kakashi panicked and grabbed a kunai from his pocket, as Naruto released the fox's restraints and muzzle.
"I was asshole!" The fox shouts in a female voice.
"Kyuubi!" Sekai shouted, "No swearing in this hotel room! Now Naruto, even though Kyuubi is your item, don't forget to perform her usual maintenance so she doesn't malfunction, okay?"
Hearing the world malfunction, made the other ninjas but Hinata who is still unconscious, wait, as Naruto carried the nine tailed fox out of the room.
"Oh, sorry you had to witness that. Ever since Naruto was added to the Vocaloid Roster, Kyuubi has been a real handful; it's as if she was just another human child." He chuckles.
"Human? What are you saying?"
"Well, you see..." He led them all outside, before shutting the door, "Vocaloids are highly advanced races of humans. They were created, in a way, by Mr. Crypton and Mr. Yamaha. Crypton and Yamaha built the Vocaloids right down to molecular structure. They are machines, but are as human as you and I; they can experience emotions, sense, taste, and even feel. They can also go through the cycle of human life..."
He chuckles, seeing their visibly confused expressions. "They may be machine, but they have human organs. Everything... their brains are half cybernetic and half organic. Kyuubi however is more machine than organic, while the human Vocaloids are more organic than machine."
"That boy... Naruto..." Kakashi swallowed the lump in his throat, but it was his former pink-haired student, Haruno Sakura, who spoke up.
"He's just like my old friend who vanished five years ago," she told Sekai.
"Hm? Really? Well... Naruto did join us five years ago... Mr. Crypton and Mr. Yamaha told us all that Naruto and his item Kyuubi will be the latest and last Vocaloid to become famous."
"And where are Mr. Crypton and Mr. Yamaha?" Anko spoke up in an interrogation voice.
Sekai however didn't pick up her hidden threat, but answered anyway to what he saw was a normal question. "They passed away five years ago at the ages of 120 and 125," he said in a somber voice.
Now that was quiet a shocker to the Konoha-nins.
"The Vocaloids, even Kyuubi, all sang a song they made just for the two men who were in a sense their fathers who gave them a chance to live in this world at their grand funeral, before they were officially buried here in Sapporo City. The secret of Vocalization went into the graves with Crypton and Yamaha. And since my family has a single linked relation with Crypton, I was tasked with taking care of their children. So I and Rin, being the last of our family line, will honor his word."
He turned around, as he saw Miku brining lunch out into the large dining room table set in the middle of the large expansive living room interlinking the kitchen.
"You see, we may have shinobi in this part of the world, but the Hidden Elemental Country is more stuck in the traditional past beliefs, while here, ninjas are more in the line of plays-in-the-dark type, or the silent killers that use little or no chakra. Your part of the world nearly hidden from everyone else is still behind in the times of technology, so do be careful when coming across things you may not even understand while you are here in our lands. Come join us whenever you have finished discussing whatever plans you ninjas will have pertaining to your jobs." He bowed briefly before entering the hotel room, the sliding glass door snapping shut.
Kakashi, Kurenai, Anko, Yamato, Gai, all looked at one another, as they absorbed this bit of information. Something was fishy with the two men who had passed away, and around the mysterious vanishing of Uzumaki Naruto, and his reappearance, as a teenaged Vocaloid. Naruto's old friends too wanted to know more of what had happened to the blonde who always wished to become the Rokudaime Hokage of Konoha.
Inside the room, Hinata woke up to the sight of Miku with a plate of sandwiches. "Are you hungry?"
"Arigatou," she said meekly, and took a sandwich.
Miku looked up to seeing the shinobi from the other side of the world come back in, and she smiles.
"We have enough food, so don't feel too bad about overfeeding yourselves," she says, "Hey Sekai, I'm going to take some lunch to Naruto."
"Sure Miku-chan, just don't get frisky again like last time."
The blushing girl walks away, pretending that she didn't hear what Sekai said to her, though said male was chuckling about it. For some reason, Hinata felt jealousy towards the girl. Inside the room, Kyuubi had her eyes closed, and a portion of her back open like a panel, and his computer was running, with said fox connected by several colored wires and cables. As this continued, the door was knocked upon thrice before opening, and in stepped Miku.
"Oh, hey Miku-chan."
"Naruto-kun, I brought us lunch we can share."
There was music playing, which was a song that two parties have done. The original version was by Len and Rin, and the second version was done by him and Kyuubi. It was called Gyouan no Uta (Song of the Dawn and Darkness). In translation, Gyouan can mean either Dawn or Darkness, so, it really means Song of the Dawn/Darkness. The word "and" was placed there for better sounding. Then, there was another song version called Go Go Mario, which Naruto sang in his version. There were varying other versions of songs that the Vocaloids have done of others, much like Romeo & Cinderella, and Sadistic Vampire, a duet done by Len and Naruto. Then, we have the still famous song Magnet, a duet version done between himself and his pet Kyuubi.
"Cool." He picked up a hoagie sandwich, and bit into it. He smiled, enjoying it. Miku always made him the best sandwiches. She also took out two medium sized bags of corn chips, which he took one and opened.
The two teenagers smiled at one another, and continued to eat lunch in silence; however both weren't looking at each other. Miku had her interest on some photos from the first five years the group became in a sense a completed family, while Naruto continued to monitor Kyuubi's scanning process of her cybernetic systems.
Outside on the complex hotel's balcony, everyone crowded around while the Vocaloids were busy doing whatever they were doing.
"Okay, does everyone have their jobs?"
"So, what if he IS our Naruto... we still need to figure out how he became younger," spoke Kiba.
"Naruto-kun," Hinata whispered. It was not unheard of by the others.
"I can go look for information on these two geezers who passed," Anko said.
"So we'll go and guard the adults of the group, while the Konoha Eleven look out for the younger ones of the group," Kakashi says.
Which means Anko goes to search information on Crypton and Yamaha, while the other older adults Kakashi, Yamato, Kurenai, and Gai watch the older adult Vocaloids. That left Len, Rin, Miku, and the apparently de-aged Naruto to Sakura, Sai, Kiba, Hinata, Shino, Ino, Chouji, Shikamaru, Lee, Neji, and Tenten. The concert that Sekai gave them was tomorrow, and their concerts and such would spread across the Oriental Continent. For now, everyone had a job to do, and Sakura got up first and headed inside, to look for her old team mate's room. Shikamaru followed after Ino and Tenten after the blonde Yamanaka force his lazy ass up off the recliner.
The first room belonged to the Kagamines, because as soon as the door opened, the two siblings had broke their kiss and pretended that they were still working on their duet song Music World. The next room however belonged to Luka, and inside a large fish tank was what looked like a pink octopus version of Megurine Luka... or as the kanji read on the small plaque, TAKO-Luka. Sakura closed the door when it spotted them and waved happily. The next one they were attacked by a chibitized robot wind-up toy of Miku that waved a steel leek around. The next room was Naruto's room...
And on his bed was said blonde, now fifteen years old and currently over the other teen Hatsune Miku, both glued at the lips and making soft moaning sounds as they continued to make out passionately. They broke apart, and jumped from each other as they heard his door slam shut. The ninja returned to the living room, stunned by what they had witnessed.

Up on the stage, surrounded by dazzling display screens and bright colorful lights, were Sakine Meiko, Shion Kaito, Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Len & Rin, Megurine Luka, Kamui Gakupo, Nenchou Gumi, Uzumaki Naruto, and Kyuubi. All nine humans and one talking fox sang the final song, Tori no Uta (Song of a Bird), as a group.

Their voices had mixed so well and the passion was serene and it uplifted everyone into a frenzy of cheering and applause, as the song's music finally ends. The Vocaloids all waved back (Kyuubi sitting upright and waving with her forepaws), and bowed as one to their fans, while in the crowds disguised as civilians, were the Konoha ninja. "Very interesting... so they are that famous here?" Kakashi questioned him, both he and Kurenai being the lucky ones to stick to the back to guard Sekai and his sister.
"Yup. They are beloved by the many fans the Vocaloids gathered since Meiko and Kaito first came onto the scene, soon followed by Hatsune Miku, and then Len and Rin. It would be awhile before Luka and Gakupo pops up, then Gumi, and finally after so long, Naruto-kun and his Character Item Kyuubi who also takes parts in a singing career."
Everyone in that shinobi group were more interested in the talking mechanical fox that looked so ridiculously alike the Kyuubi no Youko but shrunk into a chibi-like form, and then the ninja himself, or former ninja, Uzumaki Naruto, now fifteen years old instead of twenty or twenty one like the rest of his friends. And of course, they also listened to the varying songs that was sung for in this concert tonight, and sometimes played by them live on stage, and let's not forget the awesome dance moves... especially one song that the talking mechanical fox performed much to their upmost surprise called Shi Te! (CHU!)
"The creation of the Vocaloids also sprouted up computer programs so that fans can have their very own Vocaloid on their computer system. There are many different Vocaloids out there today, and much of them are different versions of our live ones of the group on stage," Sekai's sister, Rin, explained. Kakashi nodded, as Kurenai found this interesting herself. In a bathroom sealed off by some tag seals, Haruno Sakura got to work with the slug she summoned, before it poofed away with the scroll sealed with some things that she and Sai had found that shisou would be interested in.
In the hidden Elemental Countries, a blonde woman will find a scroll on her desk upon walking in that morning for yet another day of being Hokage for a rebuilt and strengthened village. With Akatsuki gone, Orochimaru dead, and no wars plaguing the lands, peace was here. Now, upon finding the scroll, she will unseal it, and read the reports that would make her summon a Council Meeting with the newly rebuilt Council, with no Civilians in a Shinobi-based situation.
I WAS tempted of having Kaito in a deleted scene dance to Thriller with the rest of the Vocaloids while said song plays in the background, but I decided not to. Though, there IS this video on YouTube that shows Kaito in the Project DIVA PSP game dancing to a short version of MJ's Thriller.
