AN/ A reviewer said my character is a Mary Sue. I ran her through the test and she's not. If she was, she'd be part vampire and there'd be purple sparkles around her and she'd be super pretty instead of badass, and everyone would love her instead of thinking she's a mean pretentious showoffy jerkface. And she'd have Rinnegan, and she wouldn't doubt that she can be herself when she has so much that isn't really hers. And she does have flaws, we just haven't seen most of them yet because the story has just started and she has yet to make mistakes, including the one super big one. Also, don't be silly, other reviewer, Naruto has no Dojutsu, Hideaki's the one with that. But I refuse to spoil anything, especially how there are Titans inside the walls and ErenxMikasa ErenxLevi and the ending of LOST was not worth the time spent watching it. On with the story!
Darkness.
Naruto trudged on through darkness.
Splashing... there was water on the ground.
His surroundings were getting brighter... was this some kind of sewer?
He realised that he was still walking, heading straight for a dark entryway into a big room. Unwilling to turn back and with no better ideas anyway, he let himself walk in.
When he entered the room, he saw a wide, wide open room with sewer pipes and dirty water, and a big cage on the far wall that contained... it.
The Nine-Tailed Fox.
The room shook with a loud boom, and the place started to change. The water on the ground drained away, as gold dust started to grow on the walls like mould, spreading out quickly and covering the walls. The pipes retracted into the walls, holes sealing up like closing mouths, and fractal patterns of green painted themselves onto the golden walls. Trees grew out of the ground, as did grass, and the wooden-looking cage became a metal cage. The room got bigger, as the ceiling faded and became a clear blue sky with only the occasional white puffy cloud.
"WHAAAAAAT" The Kyubi yelled, thrashing itself against its bars.
"DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID" He yelled, and spun around and hit the bars with his tail.
"YOOOOOOOOOOOOU" He spun again and gnawed on the bars like a wild beast.
"DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?!" The Kyubi asked calmly.
"Hideaki did it!" Naruto yelled quickly, scared, but then he regathered his courage and stood upright. "And I'm glad she did it! This place looks beautiful!"
The Kyubi screamed in rage and lashed its tails and gnawed on the bars before finally calming down. "I suppose it is nicer." He growled. "Even if this accursed seal is draining more of my chakra and binding it with you."
"Uh... is that good?" Naruto asked uncertainly.
"If you don't mind looking different, then sure." The Kyubi said nastily. "This new rate of chakra will change your body, your organs... I'd be amazed if it didn't also change your mind."
"Change it about what?" Naruto asked, cutely clueless.
The Kyubi laughed evilly. "That's right. You don't know how the mind works, do you?"
"Not really." He shrugged. Anatomy and advanced healing stuff wasn't covered by the Academy, even though it probably should.
"Gwaaahahahahahaha!" The Kyubi roared. "Well, it looks like your luck is about to change."
A large white spike of metal appeared and stabbed the Kyubi in the back, causing him to roar furiously as red chakra was blasted out around the wound, and the chakra seeped through the cage and grabbed Naruto before he could even move a foot.
Naruto screamed as the red chakra enveloped him, gaining a white hue.
The chakra grew around him like a giant red shell, and hardened into a shiny red sphere.
It stood there, large and unmoving.
It was like a big crimson egg, laid by a giant red bird that laid perfectly spherical shiny red eggs, whose yolks would probably taste delicious.
And then it shattered outwards, revealing the new Naruto, who watched as the shards of red glass converged in front of him and became a mirror that showed him his new self.
He was taller, and appeared to have suddenly gained a few years, looking 14-15ish, and he'd gotten a lot more muscular. He had the same yellow hairstyle, but it spiked upwards a bit and rested upon a bed of bright red longer hair spikes that framed his neck and back. His whisker marks stayed the same, because you couldn't enhance perfection. His orange jacket had become sleeveless and turned into a flak jacket, and it was unzipped, revealing a red undershirt, and his orange pants had turned a dark grey with thin gold stripes running down the sides, and his blue crocs had turned into black loafers, which were way cooler and also more comfortable. Which was weird, since almost everyone he knew wore crocs. He'd thought they were super comfortable, but these were way better and also cooler looking, and though he wasn't expecting it, he gained cool points for wearing these and wearing something that wasn't crocs.
"Woah..." Naruto said, shocked, and when he opened his mouth, he noticed that his canine teeth had gotten longer. Not super long like Kiba's, more foxlike than doglike. "I look awesome! I don't feel any different, but I look awesome!"
The leftover red chakra converged at his right side, turning into a large blood-red six-foot double-edged sword with a straight edge and serrated edge both lined with gold. The hilt had a circular handle guard, and five small metal loops of a chain connected the back of it to a small orange piece of metal, which looked like a sihlouette of the Ninetails sitting down, its nine tails spreading out behind him, ears pointed up.
And then the iron bars holding the Kyubi back shattered and melted away, and so did the white metal spike that had struck the Fox.
"Not awesome." Naruto said, scared.
The Nine-Tailed Fox laughed, reared up like a horse, stretched its arms and body after being cooped up for so long, and then he pounced at Naruto, who held his blade out in front of him, scared.
A red wall appeared, and the Kyubi hit it face-first. And then a big white metal spike hit him in the back again, causing him to scream.
Words appeared in front of Naruto, gold words on a black scroll, and it said the words aloud in a loud and extremely manly voice as he read it. "This is your world. This is your mind. You are the boss here, you're in charge, and the Kyubi is your prisoner."
"Really?" Naruto asked, surprised.
"Yes. You could even destroy him and absorb his powers fully if you wanted." The scroll responded. "He would be no more, for his very essence would be stripped away and used to give more power to you. And so, he would never exist again, for though that which is downed may rise once more, that which is not can never again be."
"Wait, WAIT, WAAAIIIT!" The Kyubi said, terrified of the idea of actually permanently dying. The wall in his way melted, the white metal spike moved away, and restraints appeared to bind him to the ground, forcing him to kneel at Naruto's feet. Naruto wasn't sure how much of this was him and how much of it was the seal, but he kinda liked someone showing him respect for a change, even if he was being forced to do it.
"What is it?" Naruto asked, folding his arms.
"Please!" The Nine-Tailed Kyubi begged. "Don't let this seal kill me! I-I've lived for centuries, I can tell you things no mortal can! I can teach you the Jutsu known only to Tailed Beasts, I could give you the Fox Scroll, I could grant you all the power you want, and all the gold and fame and mortal women in the world! I've learned Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, I've even learned Taijutsu from watching my old hosts spar!"
"Really?" Naruto asked skeptically.
"Yes. Half of my power was sealed within you, Naruto, and the other half was sealed in the Shinigami's stomach with your father. If you let me, I can take you to the spirit world, and you can fight him and get all of my power!"
"And my dad?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, you can fight him too once you save him, but more importantly, POWER!" The Kyubi said. "Please... don't kill me. I have two children!"
"...What?" Naruto asked, surprised.
"I'm a girl." The Kyubi pointed out. "My name is Kairi."
"No way!" Naruto said, amazed. "You can't be a girl! If you did, you'd have a big pink bow in your hair or something."
There was a long and quiet awkward silence.
"...If I could move my paws, I would facepaw." Kairi said, closing her eyes and sighing.
"Tailed Beasts can facepalm?" Naruto asked, amazed.
"Tailed Beasts INVENTED the facepaw!" Kairi bellowed loudly. "In the days when we lived alongside humanity and everyone had their own beast or summon, whenever we saw something incredibly stupid, so stupid it'd make us fall down, we assumed it was a distraction and refused to fall, and then we covered our faces. Have you ever heard the expression, 'Beware the fool, for he fools all?' Fools are a dangerous breed of Ninja, due to their unpredictability."
"Woah." Naruto said.
And then Kairi the Kyubi glowed red, and ahe started to shrink, and the restraints shrunk with her.
The fox monster transformed, becoming a woman in her late thirties with whisker marks like his, sunny orange eyes, and dark red hair pulled into a long ponytail that naturally split into nine spikes of hair, and she had pointy fox ears. She wore a loose crimson kimono tied with a white haramaki, which was the word for sword belt, and a cool black katana was held by it. She had a black katana holstered at her waist, a 72DDDDD chest held by a black bra, and all in all, she looked like she could be his mother, even though she wasn't, he could tell. Not just because he knew it was the Kyubi, but also because her aura felt red and foxish instead of the kind and different way he imagined his mom's would be.
"Hello, Naruto." Kairi the Kyubi said.
"Woah!" Naruto said, jaw dropping. "You're even prettier than Sakura!"
"Who isn't?" Kairi asked, and she and the scroll laughed, displaying a golden HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
"So... are you going to teach me new Jutsu?" Naruto asked. "Because I should probably just learn the main stuff and then get back, since Hideaki is teaching me stuff, too."
"Good, it's about time some of these damn Leaf Ninja treated you right." Kairi said. "But don't worry, everything in here moves at the speed of thought, so we can do whatever you'd like and it'd take less than a second of real time."
She bent over forwards when she said "Whatever you'd like", and he blushed.
"What's the matter, Naruto-Kun?" Kairi asked, stepping forwards and pressing her chest up against his. "There are many ways I could prove my worth to you."
Naruto blushed harder, and stammered. "I-I-I... um... uh... But... isn't there a Daddy Kyubi somewhere out there?"
"No, Tailed Beasts reproduce like splitting cells" She said, kissing his cheek and whispering right into his ear. "Anything we do... is just for fun."
Naruto immediately figured out what she was doing. She was messing with him! He made the handseal for the Transformation Jutsu, and transformed into a really hot girl with blonde ponytails. "Two can play at this game!" Naruko said, pressing hisher chest into her opponent's.
They pressed harder and harder, getting closer and closer until Kairi suddenly kissed Naruko right on the mouth, much to hisher shock.
Heshe stepped back, spluttering in shock, transforming back into himself. "What the hell?!" He asked.
"What?" Kairi asked, pulling off the innocent but cute look really well.
"What the hell was that?!" Naruto gasped. "I thought that only happens in those Icha Icha books!"
"What? I do what I want." Kairi shrugged, and folded her arms. "But I don't mind if you want to try out transformation tricks. I've never been with a human before, and I can't wait to see how you do. Now, where were we?"
"You were about to teach me a bunch of cool jutsu, but then you got all... weird." Naruto said. "Wait... I'm starting to like it. Is this part of the seal?"
"It's part of you, Naruto, and for the love of Ninja God, please ask someone else to give you The Talk." Kairi said, facepalming.
"The... what?" Naruto asked.
"Hey, wanna learn how to swordfight?" She offered quickly. "If we're going to fight the Shinigami and get your dad back, and get my power back, you'll have to be in top fighting condition."
"Yeah!" He said happily.
A flash of red light spread out in a long beam in his hand, and Naruto's red and gold sword appeared in his hands. "Woah, cool! It does that now?"
"That's not all it does." She said knowingly, and then summoned her own identical copy of the sword in her right hand. Even though there was a forgotten black katana at her haramaki swordbelt. "Now, it's time to teach you how to swordfight. Come at me, Naruto!"
