Naruto woke up in the afternoon, "Yes! I feel energized!" Naruto said and got up from his bed. Suddenly he heard his growling belly so he touched it, "Hunger can much imitate Kurama's anger!" he said and chuckled. He went in his kitchen and took some instant ramen to cook. As it was made, Naruto sat to his table and smiled. Before he could start to eat, he remembered about the dream he had and about Kurama.
He left his ramen untouched and so he dressed himself up for leaving outside. It started to rain when Naruto locked the door to his flat, "Really?" he said and sighed, "I was told by Tsunade that I am free of quests for today. Maybe I can use it to study more about Bijuu…" Naruto thought and then he slapped himself, "Naruto! What do you think about studying?! That is not you!" Naruto laughed but then his smiled faded away.
"I need to know more about you, Kurama…" he said and headed to the library of Konoha. The rain was strong but Naruto didn't mind. Everybody else was inside their houses hiding from the rain and only Naruto was walking over bridge across the river in strong rain. As he walked over the river, he stopped at the center of the bridge and looked at his reflection in the water, "Hmm… what caused radical change of your behavior, Kurama?" Naruto asked himself.
Naruto's reflection transformed in Kurama's face when he said that, "AH!" he got frightened and backed away. Naruto decided to get finally in the library. He was glad when he got inside to the heat, "It's very rare to see you in the sanctum of knowledge, Naruto…" depressed voice noticed Naruto, "That depressed voice… Shino? Uh… I wanted to know something more about…" Naruto paused, "About…?" Shino asked.
"I was wondering… do you know where could I find something about Bijuu?" Naruto asked Shino, "Bijuu you say? Try to look in myths and legends" Shino replied and Naruto nodded, turning away to go deeper in the library, "Naruto?" Shino wondered and Naruto stopped, "Why are you interested in Bijuu?" Shino asked and Naruto closed his eyes, "I just want to understand their mind since I've got one." Naruto said, "Has something changed between you and Kyuubi?"
Shino was very curious, "Kind of…" Naruto made another step, "There are no dirty pictures, Naruto…" Shino said leaving the library and Naruto froze on place, "Very… funny!" Naruto thought as he felt embarrassed. He went into the section with myths and legends, searched under B as Bijuu and found one book named "Bijuu of former Jinchuuriki". It was supposed to mean that book was combined as a life of Jinchuuriki and his Bijuu.
Naruto started to read and found chapter with Kurama. Soon as he found it, the book was covered by paw of Kurama, "Wanna know more about me?" Kurama said and Naruto looked at Kurama who smirked and sat in front of him by the same table, "Kurama? Uh… I didn't want to bother you…" Naruto said and Kurama closed the book, "Nonsense… so do you want to know the truth?" Kurama asked him, "I've had a dream Kurama… there was you and other Bijuu"
Naruto said and Kurama looked at Naruto expecting another explanation, "All of you were young and little, there was circle room and a man… a man Hachibi called mister Otsutsuki" Naruto said and Kurama's eyes widened, "Kurama…?" Naruto was wondering, "Hey! What are you doing?!" Naruto asked as Kurama put his paw on Naruto's head, "I will show you story of us, Bijuu and who was the man." Kurama said and closed his eyes as Naruto did the same.
Kurama transported Naruto's soul in the past, "I and other Bijuu have been brothers and sisters. Our Jinchuuriki was named Hagoromo Otsotsuki…" Kurama explained, "Heeeh?! I know that one! He told me the story about Kaguya and chakra fruit!" Naruto said, "Indeed that is him. Hagoromo's mother woke the Juubi and Hagoromo separated him into nine parts, into us." Kurama said.
Then he projected the scene Naruto saw, "Listen my Bijuu. The time is getting shorter for me…" the man said and Naruto went closer to see, "Kurama?" he looked at the Kurama in young age, "Mister Otsutsuki… what happens?" Hachibi asked, "I am getting old my dear Bijuu… you all will be separated because I won't be here to protect you…" Hagoromo said. Kurama left tears from eyes.
"Kurama… don't be sad. You're powerful Bijuu and I know you can rely on your brothers" Hagoromo said. Then other Bijuu disappeared and only young Kurama remained. Naruto went over to him and put hand on his fur, "Hagoromo was right. Bijuu are my brothers, but we have been separated and fighting against many Shinobi is very difficult," the real Kurama said behind Naruto.
Naruto caressed the fur of young Kurama trying to comfort him. The young Kurama looked at Naruto and Naruto spotted something in the little Kurama's eyes. It was innocence and concern, "Kurama… what happened when I was dying?" Naruto asked and real Kurama watched him and the young version of Kurama, "I was desperate… I knew death was the final point for both of us and I was getting weaker and weaker…" Kurama said and closed his eyes.
"I wanted to save us but I had no forces. Then appeared Minato and showed the true reasons. Minato told me that he wants me to be always by your side and treat you well. He was too kind because you can't trust Kyuubi without any doubts… huh?!" Kurama stopped his monolog as Naruto and the young Kurama hugged each other, "I think I can trust you, Kurama…" Naruto said with slight smile as he rubbed head of the little Kurama.
"Naruto…?" Kurama looked shocked at Naruto hugging his young version, "If you have to care about me, I will do the same and will start with healing old scars from past…" Naruto said and Kurama put paw on own heart, "What is this feeling… so warm…" Kurama said and the bond was interrupted as Naruto and Kurama returned back in reality. Kurama looked down on the table thinking of what happened in the memory.
Naruto has put his hand on Kurama's shoulder and smiled at him as Kurama looked at Naruto, "Naruto… what are you?" Kurama thought, "You Kurama, you're looking better than in the time I saw you for the first time! Nicer!" Naruto chuckled. Kurama smiled at Naruto and disappeared like a shadow clone. Naruto found what he wanted so he could return home. That day seemed that raining will never stop.
Naruto has arrived home, "Home, sweet home!" Naruto stretched, "Naruto!" Naruto heard voice of Sakura coming from kitchen just behind the corner, "Sakura?" Naruto came in his kitchen, "Hi Naruto!" Naruto saw Sakura making meal, "Sakura? What are you doing?" Naruto asked, "I was thinking that you still eat only ramen so I wanted to surprise you by some meal!" Sakura smiled, "Oh… have you been finding me?" Naruto asked Sakura.
"Yes… but once I found Shino he told me that you're in library seeking for nasty pictures!" she chuckled, "I wasn't looking for nasty pictures…" Naruto blushed hard in the embarrassment and he could even hear Kurama chuckle inside his head. Naruto and Sakura spent that afternoon with good meal and a talk.
