Title:A Fox Among Wolves
Chapter 1: Planning and Preparation
With a spring in his step, Naruto bounded to the library in his cave to start in planning out their trip to other worlds. The cave, or den as Kyuubi likes to call it, is nothing more than a repository of all their possessions. Ever since Naruto decided to start his immortal life as a sage, he decided to take up residence in one of the highest mountain in Fire Country. It was somewhat cramped at first but with a little help from his father's Rasengan, he managed to expand it to the point that they were able to create separate sections for them to use – a bedroom, bathroom, a library, and of course, a trophy room where he can store all the things that he finds interesting during their travels around the Elemental Countries.
Kyuubi, who jumped out of his friend's arms upon arriving jumped up to the sofa and sat on her haunches while observing Naruto as he checked out different scrolls in the library. Curious on what his companion is up to, she can no longer hold up on her urge to ask and just blurted out "What are you doing?"
Naruto, who was busy opening and closing scrolls and throwing them on the table looked up from his reading and looked at his companion "Uhhh, planning!" then going back to checking out another scroll.
Annoyed at being ignored, she used one of her tails to create a gust of wind that knocked Naruto onto one of the shelves "Would you mind telling me what you're up to? Planning for what?"
Mumbling about annoying vixens, Naruto picked himself off the floor and flopped down on one of the couches in the room. He decided to share his ideas with Kyuubi before she lashes out again. "I'm planning for our trip to other worlds." He raised one of his hands before Kyuubi could make a retort; he decided to tell her his plans. "I know that it's risky to travel between worlds and you told me that the power drain would leave us defenseless upon our arrival. That is why I'm going to make sure that we have everything covered when we make the attempt. I'm going to make sure that everything works out before we attempt anything. And it would be much appreciated if you help me make a list of what we need to make it easier for us to settle down when we get there"
Realizing that this is one of those few moments that her companion wouldn't budge from his decision, she decided to humor him and help with the planning. "Ok kit, you got my attention. Our main concern is the power drain. Unless we have a secondary source of power to replenish our reserves, I don't see any other solution except to wait it out when we get there."
"Actually, I have an idea that might work." He told Kyuubi with a grin. "I'm going to use my amazing intellect to create a storage seal that we can use store our youki. Once we get to the other world, we can use it to replenish our reserves."
Kyuubi scoffed at the 'amazing intellect" part of his speech though she couldn't agree more that his idea has merit. "Now that's a first, you have great idea there" she grinned when Naruto growled in annoyance at the insult. "However, YOU don't have a storage seal powerful enough to store 9-tails worth of youki. It would be too much for it and would just blow up on your face."
"I didn't say we are going to use a simple storage seal for that. There are chakra storage seals but there are NO youki storage seals. I have to make one from scratch."
"Again kit, even if you manage to come up with a seal to store our youki, even me who don't have any knowledge in seals know that it is impossible to store all our youki in any medium. Remember, even the Yondaime Hokage was hard-pressed to find a solution and he was left with no other alternative than to seal ME into YOU. Unless you are going to be using an infant for the sealing, it can never be done." Kyuubi objected hoping to knock some sense into his companion on the absurdity of his idea.
"I know that Kyuu-chan. However, I didn't say we are going to be sealing ALL our youki. How many tails-worth do you think would be enough for us to survive in the new world?"
Seeing where his companion's thoughts is leading too, she contemplated the idea for a moment before answering "I would say at least 3 to 4 tails worth. Unless we are going to be encountering high-powered demons from Makai, those should be enough to get us by before we have all our tails up and running."
"Great. Thanks for the idea Kyuu-chan. I'm going to get started with the project." Naruto happily sprung up from the couch and went back to checking out sealing scrolls left and right. Kyuubi, seeing that she would be alone for a long time, if this project is anything to go by, decided to take a nap.
(Timeskip – 3 weeks)
Kyuubi was about to get a jump on a plump rabbit she has been spying for hours was jolted out of her hunting when a large boom and shockwave came out from the cave. Seeing that the rabbit took the distraction as a means to escape the ravenous vixen, Kyuubi decided to head back to the cave to see if her bumbling companion is still alive. The sight that greeted her brought about a fit of laughter that made her forget her empty stomach.
On the wall was Naruto, spread-eagled and lodge deep into one of the walls in the library, grumbling about uncooperative seals. He managed to dislodge himself from the wall and growled at the laughing fox. "Would you mind shutting up?"
Still rolling on the floor, Kyuubi laughed even harder upon hearing her companions grumbling. "Hahahaha. You made my day kit. Hahahahaha. What in the world did you do? Hahahahaha"
"Oh shut up." Mumbling about idiotic fox and their weird sense of humor, Naruto brushed off his clothes and went back to the charred remains of a scroll on the floor. "I manage to come up with a prototype for a youki storage scroll and decided to test it out. On my first try, I successfully sealed up a tails-worth of youki without problems. I even manage to return the youki back to my reserves. The same goes with 2-tails worth. When I tried on the third, the stupid thing blew up on me." Stomping back to his work desk while grumbling to check out on the seal design to find out on what went wrong.
Kyuubi finally stopped laughing upon hearing his partial success and was impressed with Naruto's idea and dedication to his project. It shouldn't be much of a surprise to her considering all they've been through for 2 centuries but to see her kit's powerful dedication to anything he set his mind into is simply mind-boggling. Deciding to lift his companion's spirit up a bit; "That's great kit. In only 3 weeks, you manage to do something that no one has ever done before. Remember, youki is ten times more potent than your average chakra so having been able to seal 2-tails worth of it is good."
"I know Kyuu-chan but I need to improve my design to seal up to 5-tails of youki to make sure we avoid problems that might hurt us. Also, I found out that it hurts a bit when you return the youki back to your system. I almost passed out from the pain when I absorbed the 2-tails of youki into my system. Imagine what it would DO to us when we absorb more. So I have two problems to deal with." He said in frustration.
"I don't see what the problem is…" cocking her head to the side.
"What do you mean you don't see what the problem is?" he growled at his companion.
"I mean, you already finished the project." She slapped one of her tails when she saw Naruto was about to argue "Let me elaborate kit. You don't need one scroll to hold our youki. We can time it out. We each use 9 scrolls and use 1 scroll for a tails-worth of youki. Since you told me that it is painful to integrate it back to our system, we unseal our energies a few at a time until we get all of it back. So again, I don't see what the problem is."
Naruto stared at Kyuubi for a few minutes before banging his head over and over again on the table while saying "Stupid, stupid, stupid…"
(Timeskip – 5 years)
It took them both a total of 5 years to seal up to 9 tails worth of youki into scrolls to help return their reserves back when they reach the other world. Since they don't want to feel defenseless by sealing all of their youki in one go, the two decided to spread it out as they replenish their reserves. Naruto and Kyuubi is currently lounging around in one of the tallest trees in the mountain to help them relax while continuing with their preparation.
"Ok Kyuu-chan. We got the youki problem fixed. What is next on the agenda?" Naruto said excitedly to his companion. Their success on storage scrolls left him giddy with excitement.
Giving his companion a long look, Kyuubi decided to take matters into her own paws to make sure that her companion doesn't fly off the handle. "Kit, would you mind settling down. It wouldn't do us much good if you get too excited and forget important preparations before we leave." Seeing his companion giving him all his attention, she continued "Ok kit, in my knowledge of other worlds, the first thing we need to think about is money. When we get to our new home, we can never deny the fact that we cannot just steal what we need since that would bring attention to us, especially in a negative light. I know for a fact that currency here is different in other worlds but there is one thing they all have in common. Do you know that is?"
Naruto, who have no experience whatsoever in money matters simply cocked his head to the side with a questioning look on his face. "You don't know? Well, let me enlighten you kit. What is Ryo made of?"
Naruto answered "Gold!"
"That's right kit. Gold. We use gold here as currency in the form of Ryo after it is minted. However, in other worlds, Gold is used as a trading commodity. We can use gold to trade it for money. So what we need right now is to get lots of gold and turn them into bars, seal it up and bring it with us to the other world. Once we get there, we will find out how that world works and use the gold we have to exchange it for money. With me so far?"
"I got you Kyuu-chan. Working for gold would take too long and both of us don't have the knowledge on how to mine them, much less finding them in the first place. We need another method to get gold hmmmmm" Going into a thinking pose, Naruto mulled over the idea on getting much needed gold to get them started. He remembered his days as a genin in Konoha when he has to save up the money he gets from missions. That's it! "Kyuuuuuu-chaaaaaaan"
Getting uneasy from the grin of his companion, she carefully threaded her answer "Yes kit?"
With a much larger grin, Naruto stood up from the thin branch with an excited look on his face. "Let's go on missions to get the gold we need."
Looking at his companion as if he was stupid, she decided to humor him "Uhh kit, you're not a shinobi of any village so getting missions is out."
"I know Kyuu, but there is nothing stopping us from hunting missing-nins from the Bingo book, right?" grinning at his companion, knowingly baiting his companion's lust for battle and blood. "So, all we need to do is steal a Bingo book and hunt down every single missing-nin on it until we get enough gold for our trip." Seeing his companion's tail wagging and eyes lit in hunger for battle he mentally grinned "Gotcha! Hook, line, and sinker. Hehehehehe"
Getting excited on the possibility of facing worthy opponents, Kyuubi wasted no time to jump off the branch and ran down the huge trunk while shouting "What are you waiting for kit! Lets go!"
Seeing his excited companion rushing down to get started, he jumped down to the trunk and pumped youki to his legs to increase his speed and catch up to the excitable vixen.
(Timeskip – 3 years)
"You know, you didn't have to bite that guard at the gate." Naruto told his companion as they walked their way to the Hokage Tower to collect the bounty of the captured nin they encountered 3 days ago.
"You would too if they throw a kunai at you for being mistaken as a demon" Kyuubi retorted. "That chunnin was insulting."
"You ARE a demon Kyuu-chan." Naruto deadpanned.
"Well, yeah, I am a demon but how should they know that when I'm under a fox henge with a single tail. Crazy humans" the demoness grumbled.
Deciding to ignore his grumbling companion, Naruto continued to walk down the street to the Hokage Tower to get this show on the road. Over the span of 3 years, they were able to hunt A to S-class missing nins in the Bingo Book and hoarding all the bounty fom their trip. This will be the last time they will be reporting to the Hokage since they have enough to smelt into gold bars to take away with them to their new home. They didn't encounter any problems upon reaching the tower. They were well-known to the Hokage for continuously bringing in missing-nins and collecting their payment.
After turning over the scroll containing the head of their current bounty, they got paid and left the tower in a hurry, wanting to get this day over and done with. After exiting the gate and a quick shunshin to their den, Kyuubi decided to speak up. "Ok kit, with the new bounty, we have a total of 120 million Ryo. Now all we need to do is to melt them into bars and seal them into the scroll. You do this project while I prepare the seals to open the portal to meet the gatekeepers." Naruto agreed and went further into the cave to get started with his task.
(Timeskip – The Next Day)
"Youki storage scrolls, check. Weapon scrolls, check. Library scrolls, check. Gold bars, check. Instant Ramen, double check" Naruto marked off his list and gave a big grin when he reached the ramen part. Kyuubi sweatdropped at his companion's addiction to ramen; after double-checking the seals to open the portal and found nothing wrong with it, she called Naruto over to give him his last minute instructions.
"Ok kit. Everything is ready. The seals are good to go and all we need to do is to pour all our youki on it to get started. Are you sure you're ready kit? Once we do this, there is no going back."
"I'm ready Kyuu-chan. There is nothing here that is holding me back anymore. To be honest, this is the first time I felt so alive. Ever since the Rookie 9 died after the war, I don't see myself a part of this world anymore. This opportunity to start over is the only thing giving me the energy to finish all the necessary preparation so let's get started." Naruto said to Kyuubi with all his determination shining in his eyes.
"That's good kit. Now, I want you to stand here with me in the circle. When I give the signal, I want you to pour all your youki into this seal in the middle. Once we do that, I will activate the jutsu to send us to the gatekeepers. Now ready?" receiving a nod from her companion, she shouted "Now!"
Both Kyuubi and Naruto opened up all their reserves and poured all 9-tails worth of youki down to the seal in the middle. Slowly, every character lit up gaining intensity as it continued to suck up both of their energies. When Kyuubi felt the drain and the final pulse, she activated the jutsu with a shout "Demon Ultimate Technique: Dimension Portal." With a last surge of light and energy, both Naruto and Kyuubi disappeared from the Elemental Nations, never to be seen again.
