AN: Due a small mistake from my part the poll to decide the pairing wasn't visible until 30th's noon, please do check it and vote.

Most importantly: This Chapter will mark the beginning of MY variation of the story and here are the main thing it will contain so you can decide to follow it or begin your own following the guidelines I wrote at my profile.

Main pairing will be Fem kurama. Should the poll end in one of the harem options then I'll post another poll for who the other one/two female(s) will be, but I will be increasing the heart points of certain females that caught my eyes in the meanwhile just in case you choose them.

Bijuu will be: Shukaku- Fem , Matatabi-Fem, Isobu-Fem, Son Goku-Male, Kokuo-Male, Saiken-Male (will be mate to katsuyu and true slug summons boss), Chomei-Fem, Gyuki-Male and Kurama-Fem. Shinju was a tree and gave fruit on its own so its herm. that is a 4.5/5.5 bijuu gender rate favoring females.

The time line will be measured in BR and AR (before and after rikudo sennin's birth):

?br human wars 31br Kaguya is born - 1br Kaguya eats shinju's fruit and becomes usagi no megami - 0 rikudo is born

15ar Kaguya returns to shinju 70ar rikudo deseased - 120ar shinobi clans stablish - 520ar rikudo's daugther dies/The Day of Theft - 540ar The Night of Madness -

640ar The Beginning of the End/Hashirama Vs Madara battle - 650ar First Shinobi war - 670 twenty years of peace - 690ar Second Shinobi war -

708ar kyuubi is sealed in Kushina - 709ar Uzu is destroyed - 710ar ten years of peace - 720ar Third shinobi war - 728ar Kannabi bridge battle -

730ar Minato is yondaime hokage/end of war by the years ending - 736ar Naruto is born/kyuubi's attack

Also, in this story I'll focus in fuuinjustsu and Ninjutsu(with Alchemy base) to turn Naruto into a Muscled Nicholas Flamel (the one from the immortal nicholas flamel book series)

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto universe, that goes to kishimoto who now can only pull a deus ex machina to stop the supersaiyan 3 madara.


Deadlast

That they call me. Dobe and idiot are other names for me due their ignorance. they are too innocent, too naive and will probably die as soon as they left for their first C-rank mission. Still, credit where its due, they would probably be right if it weren't for that meeting with the kyuubi all those eight years ago and the following ones.

It wasn't that much of a first meeting...

(Flashback no jutsu!)

Just after fainting from the beating at his fourth birthday He found himself in a sewer with many pipes that glowed blue and one that was red. It was Red-not-them! he was here! Naruto started running towards the opposite flow of the pipe as he knew it would guide him to its origin and hopefully to Red.

It was a bit of disappointment that the great beast was sleeping, even if it was slightly shivering from both the water that covered all the floor reaching Narutos belly (at that time) and the considerably sized stream of red Chakra that flowed from its tails and into the seal tag (which Naruto couldn't read) to be later directed by the pipes through all of Naruto's body. But it gave him an answer to who was Red-Not-Them, the one Them call "Demon" just as him. The only one he could hope could understand him.

It was a fox. well...a nine-tailed fox to be precise. It was really a sight, it was just like any other fox he had saw but with some unique traits like: ORANGE fur! that covered its body (Aweshome!), cute long rabbit-like ears, black marks that covered its eyes and extended to the insides of its ear, human-like hands and nine looong tails that covered its body like a... blanket.

With the last statement filling his little head, Naruto did the most brave and insane thing a human of that era could do: He climbed one of the hands of the kyuubi and jumped onto its back where he took the tip of one of its tails and used it to cover his body.

...It was waaaaaaarm...


The next morning Naruto wakes up at the hospital feeling sore, just like all his previous birthdays, but this time he didn't feel empty as he had finally found who was the one was always there for him, healing him after the beatings, helping him run if he needed just a tiny boost more. He finally met Red and... wait, was Red a he or a she?... and wait once again, where was the sewer he met red? would he find he/she ever again? did the fox abandoned him at the hospital?

All these questions and more were interrupted by the White-sama as it entered the room

"jiji!" *cuckle* "hello Naruto-kun"

The night Hiruzen took Naruto's memories of Anko he found that if he were to change anko's persona with his and use some of these memories, Naruto's loyalty to the village and himself would be assured. Now he was his "jiji" and it was him who "taught" what he knew. What the sandaime didn't know was that Naruto's instincs told the boy he was hidding something and that even if his memories said he was "good" he should never trust him, plus it was suspicious remembering him act like a woman.

"how are you feeling?" mocked the hokage "A bit sore but I'll manage" answered the young

After a few moments of chit chat Naruto spoke the question he had been rolling around his head "jiji, do you think I could have some books to study for my time at the shinobi academy? I know its early, but I got nothing else to do..."

It seemed his acting abilities were top notch that morning or Hiruzen decided to ignore his reasons thinking about the advantage of having the village weapon being so eager to take its place under his command

"Of course naruto-kun, I'll send a chunin with the book to the orphanage"

At this Naruto fidgeted on his chair

"They threw me out again, just like the other years. but now said they wont recieve me back"

This was also another of his altered memories as Hiruzen could let his weapon remember how to escape its designed cag-place, yes, place.

"Did they now? Well, I will have to talk with them later. why don't we go eat something and take you to get an aparment? would you be okay living on your own?"

*grumble~* Naruto's stomach decided to answer

"ho, it seems like that is a yes, let's go then"

(Flashback no jutsu! Kai!)

The following weeks Naruto would establish the rutine of wake-eat-search-eat-search-eat-read-sleep or WESESERS, and jusr as it says the young boy entered the sewers daily looking for his friend. While he never found the kyuubi he did make a map of the complete sewer system of Konoha and even found some secret paths that ended in peculiar places:

Outside the village (the joint spy network of iwa, kumo, ame and kusa), inside the hokage's monument (the civilian bunkers in case of invasion), a strange throne room with a corpse and a large statue towering it all(madara's) and finally a short of room with a large door (entry to root HQ) and many other tunnels that connected the room to many places outside the village.

He would have explored more, but when he found the room with the large door he was almost found by some ambu with the kanji for Ne (root) on their masks and since they smelled like blood Naruto decided to stop going down the sewers. He couldn't found his friend there anyway.

On the other hand his progress with the books the Sandaime gave him was steady and now he knew the basis of Bukijutsu (weapons techniques) with kunai and shuriken, the basic academy style taijutsu kata and, by the time he finished mapping the sewers, he finally unlocked his chakra. (Hiruzen just wanted a weapon, why would a weapon need to know anything but fight?)

Sadly, all of this costed him a full year to finish and soon October 10th came again. The beatings, which would oddly stop as if to let him study, returned with vengeance and as soon as the sun setted Naruto found himself restrained and Nailed to a wall.

While the beating lasted longer and the med-nins even injected him adrenaline to keep him awake (which he could oddly do remember) He found himself in that almost forgotten sewer he could never find. Naruto rushed through the tunnels and pipes, this time exploring and mapping it, trying to find where this particular sewer connected with the main pipe but never found a rute that didn't return to the main chamber or the Fox's Chamber who wouldn't wake up either.

Tired of running and mapping, Naruto returned to the fox's chamber and like the last time begun to reach for a paw to climb.

When another crazy and stupid idea came to his little mind: Was the fox male or female?

And so, with balls made of diamond and a brain bean-sized, the young boy climbed the fox's hinderpaws to unfold one of the universes great mysteries. It was a Vixen.


The Next morning Naruto found himself still nailed to the wall where he received the beating, looking up the sky he guessed it was too early for anyone to be awake and with considerable effort unattached himself from the wall to made his way to his appartment.

After closing the door and entering the bathroom for a shower, he found some nails didn't pierced only his clothes but his flesh and it was up to the boy to take them off. Naruto did so after entering the shower and used the water to wash off the blood while looking with a smile of his face as "Red", as he called "her", closed his wounds and healed them leaving no trace of damage as he would check later with a mirror. (should he had look his eyes he would had noticed his now slitted pupils)

He really owed his life to that vixen.

Later, he would try to map the sewers he traveled last night and while he never found anything like them in his other maps, he did found the sewers of Red looked quite similar to a human shape (to a circulatory system, but he doesn't know what is that).


A week after his birthday the Hokage came to his door and asked about his wellbeing telling him also that he didn't came for his birthday as he was out the village in a diplomatic conference with suna.

After a while, the sandaime prepared to depart when Naruto asked for more books about minerals and forging which he became interested into after reading about custom made weapons in the bukijustu books.

The old leader considered this and soon he remembered that the academy also asked for a written exam and while he would had liked a zealot weapon with no ideals but the village protection, Naruto HAD to learn about history and other things to pass the exam and become a shinobi under HIS jurisdition.

"Very well, Naruto-kun. I'll bring you the books about the history of konoha and other academy topics so you can start early. remember that your future classmates have been teached about these earlier than you so study hard and I'll also bring you the books about materials and forging as price"

"You got a deal Jiji!"


His rutine changed again, now to WEPERERS (P being PhysicalEducation/practice, the others you know already) and soon he learned the basics of all the books the sandaime gave him.

But some information he read caught his full interest:

The shodaime while all powerfull and bla bla bla, he had a wife called Uzumaki Mito who aided him seize eight of the nine bijuu and temporally seal kyuubi no kitsune away bla bla bla yondaime the yellow flash bla bla bla defeated kyuubi no kitsune as is attacked konoha the 10th of october of 736ar... the same day as his birthday...

'Red was kyuubi! that was why Them called her demon! and since she heals me after the beatings them give me they must think I with her! but i'm not, then... and in all of this, where is she? I know she was beaten by the hokage and it has to be close so she can come and heal me and I have seen her twice now... but then, where?'

Knowing "Red" was kyuubi no kitsune was... odd for young Naruto. She was warm, good and healed his wounds, but the books the sandaime gave him telled she was a force of nature, unestoppable and evil. For a moment Naruto was in doubt, was Red evil or good? was HE evil or good by receiving help of Red? Then as always in his short live he let his instincs guide his answers. Naruto has never done anything bad, Naruto was called demon by Them, Red was called demon too, Red did attack them, Red came to heal when Them beated Naruto, Then Red was good and Them were bad, then Red was right at attacking Them.

With his doubt solved he continued his reading.


Another year passed another beating came, this time he almost outrunned Them, but then an anbu with the mask of a dog blocked his path and threw him to the enraged villagers who couldn't beat him as much as other times as they were exhausted. Not that Naruto could know as the dog anbu decided to join the fun and used his (raiton) chakra to electrocute him and knocking him out.

Naruto woke up at Red's sewer and inmediately runned to hug the sleeping Kyuubi

"Red! I missed you so much. This year I discovered you are the kyuubi, but I dont mind it! I owe you my life Red, and I thank you for healing me whenever i needed it"

He didn't recieve nor expected a reply and after discovering Red was the kyuubi he finally understood why she was sleeping: She was exhausted. The yondaime must have been a great opponent to tire Red so much.

"Anyway, I hope you don't mind us sleeping together, but your fur is reeeeeeally soft. I hope to see you in the morning, but if not lets see each other the next year"


His sixth year of life was just like the ones before with the difference that instead of reading several subjects Naruto focused in a particular one. It all begun that morning...

Naruto woke up at the hospital and just like the years before the hokage came and talked to him, this time he took the boy to a Ramen bar named Ichiraku wher he met a kind man and her daughter. The food wasn't poisoned and it was quite delicious. The fact that his stomach didn't ache for eating rotten food was a first for Naruto and it reminded him that there still existed good persons in that hellhole of a village.

At the evening they passed through a tailor where Hiruzen told naruto to choose jumpsuit and he would buy it as birthday gift. He chose a dark orange one with black trimming in honor of his only friend.

It was while walking back his apartment that Naruto fidgeted as he did when asking something

"Ne, jiji" "yes naruto-kun?" "can I learn fuuinjutsu?" *cuckle* "I don't know naruto-kun, can you?"

while Naruto pouted the hokage wondered about his question, why would the village weapon would want to learn fuuinjutsu and most importantly where did he heard about it

"Mou, mean jiji. I'm asking cause I was reading about the hokages and read that the yondaime won singlehandly the third shinobi war using a fuuinjutsu technique called hiraishin and his personal jutsu the rasengan, earning the moniker of Konoha's yellow flasher"

... hehehe...Hiruzen laughed at the young's mistake who was blushing red at his mistake. At the very least it answered where he learned about sealing

"yellow Flash, naruto-kun, not flasher. Imagine the embarassment he would have if the office-nins from iwa made the same mistake as you, he would be the strongest pervert konoha would ever had, even jiraiya wouldn't dare to do such a thing"

After a few laughs the duo reached Naruto's department and the old leader considered the weapons request. Konoha had a handfull of sealing masters and not everyone of them was at his student's level. Plus, there was the fuuinjutsu scroll his Sensei's wife had left, it used uzumaki blood as key and kushina never opened it. but he still needed the why.

"Naruto-kun, before I leave, why would you want to learn fuuinjutsu?"

Doing his best to hide his reasons the boy spoke "why jiji, I want to be the very best (like no one ever was!) that way everyone in the village will respect and acknowledge me!" please buy it, buy it!

"You do know sealing need good caligraphy and patience, don't you?"

'yes! just a little more.' "I can be patient if I want and my kanji are very much readable 'ttebayo!"

It was true, his body was almost made to stay large lenghts of time still and his strokes were firm and legible, it wasNaruto's personality the only thing that could impede him, but if he was interested in something it was almost impossible to separate him from it and the fact naruto could learn the shiki fuuin for when it were time to pass kyuubi to his children if he learned fuuinjutsu he decided.

"Very well Naruto-kun, expect a chunin at your door tomorrow with a fuuinjutsu teaching scroll made by my sensei's wife Mito Senju, it was made so it adapts as you advance in the arts of seals so I wont have to bother with sending you more scrolls as you learn"

Little did Hiruzen know he just gave Naruto the key for his happiness and Konoha's doom


"Hello Red-chan, I have waited a year to meet you again"

Once again after fainting from the beating at his birthday (which barely happened due how exhausted were the villagers after chasing him), Naruto climbed the sleeping kyuubi's back and cuddled at her nape.

This time he could finally read the seal tag learning it had the kanji for "seal", but just stored the info in the back of his head as he just wanted to be close to his friend.

"This year I have learned a lot about seals and even made my first own storage scroll which I use to keep all my things safe, I'm considering putting the seal in my right arm. Oh, and talking about things, the hokage-jiji gave me a jumpsuit. It's Orange like your fur and has black trimming like your marks. It might not be just like your fur, but it's quite similar. I think you'd like it... so, please...wake up...I need you more than just for healing..."

Saddly, the kyuubi didn't wake up and Naruto cried himself sleep while trying to hug as much fur as he could.


The Seventh year of his life was when he begun his time at the academy. The Hokage entered him early hoping to make the village weapon usable as soon as possible

At first Naruto tried with all his efforts to learn what the teachers said, but most of it he already knew or was useless for him unless he planned to be an office-nin, which he did not want.

Naruto begun to asssist to less and less classes as he prefered to learn fuuinjutsu or practice with his chakra control (which he was at surface attaching already), but there was One class he was interested in that he'd always assist and learn all he could: Alchemy (as science. the beginning of chemistry). While the more extremist theories like transmuting coal into gold were far from being real, the theories of everything being made from athoms and its application to ninjutsu were very real and proved.

Thanks to this science, persons without the respective kekkei genkai could use elements as Hyoton (ice release), Futton (boil release), Shakuton (scorch release), Shoton (crystal release), Koton (metal release) and Jiton (magnetic release) which were relatively easy to reproduce if the ninja user knew how to proportionate the elements for the desired effects and had the necessary chakra and chakra control while alchemists were still investigating how to recreate elemnts like Mokuton (wood release), Jinton (swift release), Bakuton (explosion release), Chiton (Dust release) or the Ranton (storm release).

In theory, if one have enough chakra and apllied the teachings of alchemy one could safetly reproduce the level of affinity the nidaime hokage had at using the atmosphere humidity to use Suiton (water release) jutsus.

Still, while he learned a lot of this subject it wasn't from the teachers he learned, they just introduced it as a explication of many questions the other students had about how physical matter functions. All of his questions were ignored or taken as a disrespect for interrumpting them. It was this that caused another change for naruto which soon developed into a mask of foolishness aand aloofness while he infiltrade into the acaademy's library in search of knowledge.

That year the classic mob of villagers didn't manage to knock him out and neither did he meet the kyuubi even if she did healed his wounds and her chakra covered him as a warm blanket.


The following two years followed the rutine of WEAEPEFS (A for Academy/Alchemy and F for Fuuinjutsu) and the more time passed the more he would began to intentionally lower his grades as he soon found the dumber he appeared the fewer persons hated him and ignored him instead.

It was also at this point he suddenly had intense needs to prank people, but he fought those feelings as he knew they wouldn't do him any good... ok, maybe he did succumbed to the temptation once (or several) times, BUT he did cleared his tracks, made an alivi and throwed subtle hints pointing to different people.

Who ever said Vengeance wasn't sweet? With the amount of ryo he had now he could buy all the dango of the world!...for some reason that thought made him feel hollow...damn, talk about moodkiller.

At the last year the academy begun to teach ninjutsu (well, three ninjutsus) two of which became his best friends after kyuubi 'no one could compare to Red afterall'. The Kawarimi (substitution) was a life-saver and an escape rope for whatever problems he might be as soon as he learned to use it seallessly. The Henge (transformation) was his best tool at shameless infiltration, he could just henge into a random civilian boy and everybody at the village was none the wiser, this allowed Naruto to have a healthier diet, better house-wares and more variety of clothes in the same color-scheme as his jumpsuit.

Sadly this also meant that once again he evaded the angry mob most of the time and that neither did he felt enough pain to faint and meet Red again.


At the time of his "last" exam at the academy at August, he Failed! and it was that daaaaaamn Bunshin (clone) jutsu's fault! it was the third and last ninjutsu the academy teached and not even all the chakra control he learned while walking on water allowed him to create three dammed clones!

The new academy year begun and Naruto felt even less interested in following the teachings as he already knew what he lacked and he wouldn't get more control over his chakra by listening to some chunin bickering theories at the class.

By the time his tenth October came he decided to confront the mob, going against his very instincs in hopes of meeting kyuubi once again... He failed. It seemed that so many years of beating numbed his nerves and the villagers tired before he could even feel something more hurtful than a migraine.

But not everything were bad news. A few months after his birthday the teaching scroll of Mito Uzumakiwarned him that pass that point only a true Uzumaki would understand the fuuinjutsu teachings and that the reader had to offer his blood to the scroll if he wanted to continue. Quickly realising that was a Chishio Fuuin he bit his thumb, touched the scroll with it sending some chakra with the blood and hoped against hope that he was really an Uzumaki and it wasn't just a random name the orphanage picked for him.

To his awe and delight, He was an Uzumaki! Now he just needed to finish the journeyman level to be recognized as one in the eyes of his clan.

Time flew again, and his second try at the exam came. The Bunshin knocked his 12th position to a fail. It seemed that not even walking up a waterfall with a rock stuck to your back with only chakra wasn't enought control to form a ilusionary bunshin.

It was now that the Hokage decided to take the matter in his hand and called Naruto to his office where he explained his displeasure and the boy explained his problem and how he was trying to solve it. The sandaime was impressed at his chakra control and decided it was time to reveal his Uzumaki heritage to the boy. Naruto did his best to appear surprized and it was only thanks to truly being surprized to know Hiruzen knew about the uzumaki clan that he pulled the show.

(AN:Uzumaki Clan Traits: Chakra Density, Chakra Constructs, Longevity, High Stamina, Red hair, Quick tempered and "datteba**" verbal tick)

It was then that he learned that his clan had such a high chakra density they could create energy structures, which also explained his bunshin problem. Asking for help for his problem to the Hokage was met with success as he couldn't afford another year of not having the village's weapon active. That day he recieved his key to Success: The Kage Bunshin no Jutsu.


This year was definetly the most productive of all. Thanks to the Kage Bunshin he completed the Journeyman level of the Fuuinjutsu scroll his clanhead had left him and now he was a true Uzumaki at the eyes of his clan; he also managed to infiltrate, a kage bunshin actually, into the village's jutsu library where he learned the basic exercises for all the basic elemental manipulations, various E-rank jutsus meant for camping like Sekka no jutsu (Flint Fire) and other daily necessities like Dojō kōun no jutsu (Soil Tillage) and two very useful D-rank jutsu: Shunshin no jutsu (Body Flicker) and Kanashibari no jutsu (Temporary Paralysis) and inmediately sent a KB team to practice these techniques.

When the october mob came for him, he was ready. Applying all his knowledge in the village, deception and escape Naruto managed to lose his tail and hide in one of the most obscure passages at the sewers where he stayed until morning. It was a victory even if a bit hollow due the lack of a certain vixen, but still a victory.

And now, after all these months of practice and learning, here he was, at the last exam which he would pass no matter what.

...

He failed?


Naruto was waiting for his "sensei" to appear with a false "forbidden scroll" on his shoulders and dressed in his "battle attire": A pair of black anbu pants and combat boots, a mesh shirt and a rusty orange over-shirt and a black flak jacket, all reinforced with seals and with many pockets fitting scrolls in them with diverse barrier and containment seals. Of course, all of this under a Henkan no jutsu (Conversion) (which was his personal and solid variation of the Henge) to appear normal.

It was all part of the Hokage's plan to trap and capture a spy while also evaluating Naruto's growth. who as soon as he noticed a chakra disrrupting seal at the floor tile he stood decided to ignore it to discover what was happening while also informing the sandaime of his decision.

Hiruzen was not happy to hear his weapin had failed again, but after hearing his explanation he deviced a plan to catch Mizuki, send him to the TI and evaluate his weapon at the same time. Sadly (or was it thankfully?) this also meant Naruto had to disarm and seize himself and his male anbu team guards and a quick combo of Kage Bushin and Oiroke no jutsu (sexiness) (a variation of the Henka no jutsu) made the first part of his plan work. Oh, Haremu no jutsu (harem) what a wonderful creation indeed.


"What are you doing? Naruto!"

'eh? it's Iruka, what the hell is he doing here? damn, I should have know Bandō (Bottlenose) would come, he's the only one who would ever get close to catch me'

"Heh, I found you Bandō-sensei!"

...

"Baka! it's Iruka! and its I that found you!"

hehe, it's always fun to get him under the dolphin's skin

"Tomato tomato" (google it if you don't get the reference)

While it was a nice conversation both of them were forced to jump to evade several kunai on their direction.

"Ne, Mizuki-sensei. About time you came! I was getting bored here 'ttebayo"

"Shut up stupid brat! I was only using you!" Getting the fabulous idea of breaking naruto before defecting he pinned Iruka to a tree with several kunai and spoke

"Do you want to know why you are hated, why no one will ever acknowledge you? The night of Kyuubi's attack, the Yondaime didn't kill the kitsune. He sealed it, in you! The kyuubi no kitsune that destroyed our village has taken over your body! You are the nine-tails fox!"

Mizuki readied a fuma shuriken, but before either chunin could do anything a second Naruto came from behind and knocked him out with a swift blow to the nape

"let's go Bandō-sensei, I already searched the surroundings, wherever or whoever he wanted to take the scroll is not nearby or has already noticed us and wont reveal itself"

And so, it begun Naruto's ninja life


Hellooooow there, I'm happy to tell you I will try and write a story out if this bunch of letters and lines and don't forget to leave comment, vote at the poll and enjoy the preview of chapter 3: of Demons and Waves I

...

"So, my jailor has finally deign to meet-" "it's you!"

The kyuubi found herself rudely interrupted, but contrary to the angry verbal monologue of her beastness she expected she found her forepaw being glomped by a teary Naruto.

"You finally woke up, Red-chan!"

...
