I don't own Naruto… Sorry I needed a moment there!

Chapter 3 Curiosity Killed The Fox, And Heaven Intervened
31 Minutes & 6 Seconds Before!
Hinata felt warm, the warmest she could ever recall ever being. She continued to snuggle up to the warmth. That is until she started recalling what her last memories where, and she woke up with a start. Looking ahead of her all she could see was a sea of shinning blonde spiky hair. She was memorized before realization hit her; she turned eight shades of red, and then "eeped!"
Naruto for his part made it three steps out of the park when he heard it, and felt Hinata wake up. Stopping, Naruto asked "Hinata-chan are you okay, you passed out? Hang on I'm going to go find a doctor, okay." Hinata for her part looked bashful and turned an extra four shades of red, that smoke started pouring form her head.
Naruto made it too the end of the block when Hinata found her voice again. "Naruto-san, please put me down, I'm okay, honest." Naruto obliged but still looked worried, while Hinata was still beat red, but had calmed down some. An awkward silence prevailed for a couple of seconds before Naruto shook his head getting the attention of Hinata.
"What is it Naruto-san" she asked. Naruto just shook his head again, but this time with a smile. "Just call me Naruto, where friends, and plus I don't really care for honorifics" Hinata could only shake her head. "Friends we are, but I will just call you Naruto-kun and you can keep calling me Hinata-chan" she answered shyly, while simultaneously shuffling her feet and peeking at Naruto out of the corner of her eyes rather cutely.
Naruto brought his hand to his chin as he was in deep thought, something that made Hinata giggle, but Naruto didn't notice. "Fine", he conceited, "you are my first friend, so I suppose" he relented with another foxy grin, while rubbing the back of his head. Something Hinata thought was cute, and made her cheeks flush.
Something she realized she had been doing a lot since she met Naruto not that long ago. She slowly started to question those thoughts and what they could mean and if since he touched her chest means their husband and wife, which in turn made her cheeks blush heavily. She put her two hands on her cheeks and was still in thought and never noticed Naruto was walking a short distance away. For at that moment Naruto was distracted by muffled sound of someone crying.
Ignoring the dirty looks and glares he was getting by passerby's, Naruto went over too a girl around his and Hinata's age sitting and crying by a crate on the side of a grey stone wall. The girl was short, but not as short as Hinata and almost as tall as Naruto. She had medium dark blue hair with one bang on her right side going to her shoulder tip but tied in a braid, and had the eye color of a majestic green.
She was wearing light blue pants and ninja shoes, with a similar short sleeved shirt that was black and v-necked, and a brown vest over her shirt that looked like it was made of wool that almost made her look like a small boy instead of a small girl. She was sobbing and rubbing her eyes. The light was soon blocked by something and she opened her eyes to see a boy around her age looking at her, and holding out his hand. "Are you okay, there's no reason to cry; I'm Naruto Uzumaki, what's the matter?" The girl for some reason felt she could trust him and simply nodded before taking the boy's hand.
Hinata snapping out of her love struck thoughts turned to see her new friend help some girl she didn't know up, before going over herself to see what was going on.
"I'm Junko Maruboshi and my grandfathers where taking me through the festival, when we got separated. Now I'm lost" explained the girl looking like she was going to start crying again. Naruto being Naruto put the thumbs up sign and said "Don't worry Junko-chan; I'll help you find your grandfathers, it's a promise, and I won't go back on it" declared Naruto.
Just after Naruto finished Hinata made it over. Feeling a little shy, despite her confused feelings, her kindness won out though, and she felt for the girl for her plight. This in turn made her realize that she was separated from her guardians and missing from her family. She went over and yanked a little on Naruto's shirt sleeve, getting his attention.
A little shyly she said "Naruto-kun, I'm in the same boat, I need to get to back to my house; my family is probably worried." Naruto didn't even hesitate "Then I promise to help you get home too Hinata-chan." Then turning to look from one girl to the other twice, he suddenly and dramatically pointed from to the other girl. "Hinata-chan this Junko-chan" then pointing to Hinata he finished with "Junko-chan this is Hinata-chan my friend." This made both Junko and Hinata giggle at his antics.
"I know why don't you become our friend too Junko-chan" explained Naruto in kind way. Junko for her part just smiled and nodded. Hinata's smiled happily if not a bit shyly as well. Then Naruto's face became serious and thinking like. Something that took both girls aback a little bit. "Do any of you know where you live" he asked anti-climatically? Both girls just shook their head after sweat dropping. Silence prevailed for a couple of seconds before Naruto declared dramatically "Then we'll walk around until you one of you sees something familiar or someone you know and can help."
Both girls just face-palmed at his way over dramaticness. "Let's go, dattebayo" he declared, as he started walking down the street. Hinata and Junko both giggled again.
The two girls followed suit and they began their search. No one seemed to want too help them though, and almost everyone was glaring at them. Plus it was now really dark outside and the lights where all on all over the festival. The girls where getting uncomfortable though with all bad looks they where getting, until finally Junko asked the obvious "why are they glaring at us?" "Huh" said Naruto so busy looking around at the festival and the going ons that he didn't hear the question.
"I asked Naruto-kun why are people are glaring at us?" Naruto just bopped himself in the head, something that brought small smiles to both the girl's faces before his revelation.
"Oh, they're glaring at me, for reasons I don't know. I even got kicked out of the orphanage by people with similar glares" he said casually; too casually. Never noticing the girl's faces completely darken. A thick silence prevailed as the two girls glared back at the glarers; something that threw some of the glarers for a loop.
They're glaring at the kind boy trying to help them, and didn't seem to deserve this treatment, which he also didn't notice. Junko then thought of another question "um, Naruto if you got kicked out of the orphanage, where do you live?" Hinata thought it was a good question and also wanted to know the answer but for a different reason.
Naruto stopped walking and thought for a moment, before surprising them both by waving his hands in the air and declaring rather loudly "Fort Naruto!" Something that made both girls giggle at his antics temporally, before they heard the next part. Resuming walking, he then said "some people found it so I have to build it in some other alley later tonight; and I had the good boxes too." Both girls where shocked that this nice boy who desperately trying to help them, was living on the streets. They both saw that he looked dirty, but to be homeless at this age, it broke their hearts.
Hinata was especially sad for she didn't think her clan would help him, since he wasn't part of a clan and he had no fame or money. Despite her age, her political skills where top notch, something that was taught beginning at a very young age to the Hyuuga children, especially the heiress. Her Kaa-chan would surely help Naruto in some way, especially since he was helping her and saved her, but her Tou-san might be harder to convince.
If only she knew the basics of the going ons. Junko was thinking that if anyone could help him, it was her grandfathers, people she always admired and always seemed to know what to do. Surely they could help, but now they still had to find them or someone helpful. Their musings where brought to an end by Naruto.
"Hey look there is a ninja, maybe he could help, Hinata-chan is from a ninja clan right, he should know where they're at" he explained excitedly, while thinking back to that clan revelation when their child minds realized that finding a specific person failed and Hinata told Naruto and Junko that the Hyuuga where a ninja clan and lived in a clan compound. Both girls weren't far behind as Naruto politely tapped the Chunin on the arm. The ninja with a chunin flack jacket, was talking to another Chunin.
Two things went threw the minds of the two girls while looking uneasily at each other. One that his breath smelled weird. Two, they were glaring at Naruto like the other people. Naruto himself smelt the two ninja but didn't seem to notice the glares, since he was so absorbed in wanting to help his new friends.
The two girls had a bad feeling and looked uncertainly at each other again. It was quickly proven right. Naruto didn't even get to ask his question for help for his friends, before a hand shot out and lifted Naruto up by his throat; choking him as well. "Well, well, well, look here Taiji, the fox has come to play" said the ninja in a drunken sort of voice. Taiji the other ninja also obviously drunk, laughed.
"Your right, Bakin, what should we play, operation" he asked? Hinata doing something very not Hinata like and kicked the Chunin Bakin in the leg hard; Junko didn't bother with the legs, she kicked Chunin Taiji in every guys weak spot, and forced him on his knees. Bakin due to pain had dropped Naruto who was gasping of air. "Damn", said Bakin, "the demon has bitches; he probably brain washed them." Taiji was seething, "brainwashed or not that fucking hurt, the bitches need to be taught a lesson."
Both got up slowly, and Taiji took out two kunai and threw one at Junko who was now too scared too move. She closed her eyes and waited for it to hit, while tears fell from her face, but it never came. When she heard a grunt she opened her eyes and there was Naruto with a kunai in his upper right arm. "Don't hurt my friends your jerks" shouted Naruto.
Hinata for her part had only just started learning her family's fight style, the Gentle Fist, but she was going to do her part and got in her stance. Junko was still silently crying and could only say "Naruto…" Bakin spat on the ground while Taiji in his drunken stupor yelled to the nearby villagers getting their attention, some of which where as drunk as Taiji and Bakin. "Hey everybody, here's the demon child, and he wants to play tag, where all it, so let's get him."
There where several shouts of agreement, mostly from the drunker ones, while Naruto was shocked still. He wasn't for long as a sake bottle flew by and barely missed him. Grabbing Junko by her left hand and Hinata by her right arm as she was going into a Jyuuken stance, they ran. They ran and they kept running for three blocks while being chased by a mob of mostly drunk villagers and two drunk Chunin who where shouting war cries and insults at Naruto and few too the two girls as well.
Using his and his friend's small statures, he expertly negotiated threw the crowd that was started to part for the mob, but Naruto was a step ahead. He managed to duck them into a small dead-end alley that seemed like only two people side by side could walk through, and they hugged the wall as the mob drunkenly ran past wielding various sharp and pointy objects. Naruto himself sighed in relief, with a kunai in his arm still. Both Hinata and Junko where crying. "We lost them, now…"
He never got to finish as a ninja star embedded itself on back of his right hand. There, near their only way out stood Taiji spinning a kunai in his left hand. The three got off the wall and slowly started backing up toward the dead end wall, while Naruto also pulled out the two ninja weapons from his body, and dropped them on the ground. They where only a few inches away when Bakin jumped down from the roof and kicked Naruto square in the chest against the wall. "Naruto-kun" shouted the girls almost perfectly together.
Before their world went black as Bakin chopped them in the back of their necks. Taiji was meanwhile calling back some elements of the mob too their location. Naruto rushed forward and despite his injuries head butted the Chunin in his stomach and caught the girls.
He put them down together in left corner next to the two big boxes, before turning around and stepping toward the now half reassembled mob. "Your gonna pay for that one demon, and your bitches too" spat Bakin. Naruto knew he was surely going to die, but he would do everything in his power to protect his friends, at all costs.
He just got into a defensive position three feet form his new friends when the two drunk Chunin and nine villagers charged. Standing his ground he tried to push them back but was met with two kunai in the gut and few punches from a few of the villagers. "That's for my father demon" yelled one of the drunken villagers. Another splashed sake on him, mostly going to his chest area.
One of the villagers, seeing Naruto coved in sake threw a match on him. "This is to finish what the Yondaime started six years ago; you being the demon should have died that night" yelled the villager after he threw the match. Screams pierced the air as Naruto fell down in a desperate attempted to put out the flames.
As Naruto was doing so the villagers and the Chunin where continuously kicking him, which caused the two kunai to go deeper into his body. More kicks mostly to his back, head, left arm, and stomach constantly hit him, until another villager dumped more sake on him, which made the screams intensify, and flames resume. After few minutes it was temporally calm.
Naruto put the fire out from rolling around, but was bleeding from a huge gash on his face and two gaping holes in his stomach, several broken bones, minor gashes, and burns over 60% of his body and many other injuries; Naruto was barely conscious to say the least.
The mob was cheering that they killed the demon, and dancing around a little bit. But Naruto was not dead and was determined to protect his friends, and trying to get up, but couldn't move. When he saw Taiji and a civilian head toward his friends he mustered up all his strength and with determination rushed them, surprising everyone. He pushed them into a wall before another villager punched Naruto into the still unconscious girls, while a ninja star embedded itself into his right shoulder.
Naruto was leaning against the wall, his feet touching both girls, he couldn't move, and couldn't talk, and was using the wall for absolute support, but was giving the crowd a determined look. Bakin was slowly walking over and pulled out another kunai. "Well I'll finish him off for sure with this" he declared raising the kunai amongst the cheering mob. Naruto didn't have the strength to go on, and had tears leaking out his face as he solemnly thought "I failed my friends!"
Before slipping into unconsciousness, Naruto never noticed the red chakra that was slowly developing around him heavily and in plain sight of everyone there, or the four angry and horrified onlookers that appeared on the roof of the jewelry store above, and jumped down to protect him. However, no one there, not even the fox, knew what happened in heaven above four minutes ago.
Four good friends and deities where having their annual get together, away form their rather busy lives. Really it was just an excuse to take a break. So sitting around a pure silver table viewing the world from a water basin filled with water positioned in the center of said table, sitting in matching pure silver chairs where the four deities.
Benzaiten, Kichijoten, Inari, and Kami herself; all sipping green tea and having a breather. Or they were but where currently astonished at what they where seeing. All the girls had hourglass figures and D-cup breasts, and where the uptime of beauty, none so much more then Kami. Kami was wearing a pure gold princess yakuta, with long flowing black hair, and tan skin.
She had beautiful eyes that change to every color of the rainbow every couple of minutes, and had the most beautiful face that could make any mortal man melt. Standing along the table beside her was a red wooded naginata with a pure silver and steel blade. Benzaiten had short blond hair and blue eyes that glittered in the light; she was wearing and all purple yakuta with two music notes on the bottom, and a pearl necklace.
As well as a golden mini harp at her feet. Kichijoten had a smiling face that didn't seem to go away and was radiating warmth, she was wearing a simple all yellow yakuta but was also bear foot.
While all the other goddesses at the table where roughly medium height, Inari was a foot shorter and had an all white yakuta on with simple fox paw prints on it, and an elegant sword called Kogitsue-maru strapped to her side.
Deities need entertainment, just like mortals, so doing these "breaks", Kami would command the water too show her by her instructions "rare sights in the mortal realm." Normally this brought images of funny or interesting sights that even the mortals don't see everyday, some where small acts of chivalry or romantic scenarios. Others where just plain odd or overly dramatic.
However, right now the four deities where stock still and surprised, as well as angry and impressed. Somethings that was hard to do to four of the most powerful deities in the realm. "I was always sad to see the Uzumaki Clan go. I gave them my blessing for warrior protection to the entire clan; something I normally do to one person not an entire clan.
However, even I couldn't interfere when Kumo, Iwa, and Ame, massacred them due to our ancient and binding laws, but they sure took a lot of them with them. That damn ungrateful and pathetic Madara had to play deity and harm my creation Kurama. Then his minion had to unleash him a second time. Now both my creation and the one of the only four Uzumaki left in the world is about to die do to drunken fools who can't understand the basic definition for the word sealed. At least he's going down like his ancestors" explained Inari in sad voice that was only half true.
Benzaiten patted Inari on the back to comfort her, although her words didn't help, but that's not what was going on. "To bad, he was such a charmer, knowing some mortal laws I could have had fun with my blessing."
There was silence for a second before Kichijoten spoke in mock sadness "I second you on that one Benten-chan, that young Uzumaki really does deserve happiness, I mean he's trying to save his two new friends while practically mortally wounded that was caused by misguided hatred toward him and alcohol.
Fujin's blessed clan is the Namikaze and Suijin's blessed clan is the Jakado, and they would be sad to see him go, he's the last of these blessed clans, and they might owe favors too whoever helps him. Last of three and half bloodlines, but has four" The mock sad looks continued as Benzaiten took the floor again "I know right Kichi-chan, what where those bloodlines again.
Oh, yeah, Chakra Chains the rest of the Uzumaki bloodline, Mokuton, Fast Travel, and Watershaper. Meaning he is last of two of those clans and between the other two he only has one relative and the other he has two. Not too mention he was the Child of Prophecy, we the deities as a whole made him such to bring an era of peace for it needs too happen and more importantly because we all want an extended break up here in heaven to have a simple extended vacation with little interruption and less paperwork.
At least he will get too meet his dad and mom, for all the mortals think that that seal he used to seal the fox will forces him too stay in the stomach of the Shinigami for all eternity. Too bad that mortals can't completely play deity, and only Kami-chan here gets to decide who belongs in heaven or hell. Plus it doesn't hurt that the Shinigami can only stomach evil or bad souls."
The other two just nodded, besides Kami, in mock depression. All of which where looking at Kami out of the corner of their eyes, and smirking on the inside. Kami is the only one who can authorize the breaching of the ancient pack. Or more precisely, she wrote it, and can "tweak" it a bit for the other deities. To get her to move and do so is hard and only happens rarely.
Despite her being the deity of creation and ruler of the deities for this realm, her outgoing and hard working personality, she is also very shy. Her only friends are these three which more then not are her very best friends, but she will talk to old Fujin for advise, Omoikane who isn't that social unless you ask his opinion on anything which she does here and there (mostly when the there is a major dispute in heaven) and her aide and the one who brings all the paper work to her office Amaterasu. Uzume (Ame-no-Uzume) talks to her like a big sister, and she doesn't mind it, but she also forces Kami heavily out of her comfort zone with her "wildness", but Kami does consider her a friend. She just has too much fun and forgets too visit until she drops in unexpectedly.
Kami herself had a weird look on her face and she knew what her friends where trying to get her to do. She couldn't help but agree with them, but the paperwork and Amatersau's scolding that was sure to come from this was not something she looked forward too. "I don't think we should do this, you all make valid points, but letting nature take it's course and free will are the mortals domain and we shouldn't interfere" Kami explained quotingly.
Her friends looked crestfallen but still determined, something Kami knew meant trouble foe her. Before she could contemplate anything else a pair of hands started grouping her breasts. Fighting in her seat and trying to get the strong hands off of her, she also almost immediately smelled alcohol. "Uzume-chan stop" begged Kami too the tall deity in a red yakuta with sakura blossoms all over it covering J-sized breasts, but a rip on her left sleeve and a giant open sake bottle tied to her obi.
"Come on Kami-chan" Ame-no-Uzume cooed. "I have the biggest party planed and I can't do it until that young mortal brings peace; me and Fujin have been making sake up the wazoo, so let's do something to help them out." Kami was hit dumb for a second as Uzume stopped fondling her, "Them" Kami screamed, before Uzume fondled her harder, causing her too moan. The others where all embarrassed but listened closely.
"Yes them" continued Uzume still seemingly absent mindedly fondling Kami's breasts well her face showed she was thinking. A fact not known to mortals is that Uzume was infamously spot on with odds and predictions, and is well informed, which made her a horrible person to bet against during the monthly Deity Poker Night.
"That one ANBU Kakashi has lost his whole team, his father, his sensei, his secret love, and adopted family, and the way things are going it's going to get worse, and if we help him, he'll help that young Uzumaki better, which will bring our much needed vacation faster. His clan will also go back up into full clan status, if I think what might happen. Then there's is the current Hokage. He will die by his predecessor's seal, the only thing you almost sent the Yondaime to hell for, for all the paperwork it caused.
The Third Hokage will probably die trying to kill that pain in the ass Orachimaru, that has been a pain in the ass for ever and has even caused me undeity amounts of paperwork in my department of revelry, if we help him the job will get done properly and the paperwork will lesson, and his son would also live and we can stop Kazuma sooner, which would cause less paper work, and many lives will be saved.
If Hiashi is helped then so will Hinata and his wife wouldn't be secretly assassinated by some of those blasted Hyuuga elders, and the curse seal will be gone by that prevention. That would lesson the paperwork for you for all the centuries to come, and I can finally throw a party at the Hyuuga Compound. Now if that last ANBU is helped, her boyfriend will be saved and cured, that's also if we help Naruto out as well, but if we do help her she will marry her boyfriend and bring happiness to Konoha through many people, this will also help Naruto as well.
Plus they and their kids will develop a new form of Kenjutsu and start a dojo and a clan, and one of their kids will also become a medic nin of great standing and help the world and save lives. This in turn means less paperwork for you.
Now if we help Naruto then things will happen in this world, all good things, with mostly world peace, untold number of lives saved, goodness and peace spreading, and tons upon tons of future paperwork for you destroyed, and I'll also talk to Amaterasu and she won't be a problem." After that Uzume stopped fondling Kami, and all she could do was think "Hook, line, and sinker. Good thing I kept the black mail material of how I really got Amaterasu out of that cave; everyone else was too drunk too notice.
Hehehe!" The others where softly giggling to themselves and knew what was coming next. For Kami, she didn't even realize that Uzume stopped fondling her. She had stars in her eyes, and like song and mantra she kept repeating over and over again "Less paperwork." As if her life (she's immortal) depended on it, she quickly agreed but only a blessing too Naruto on the condition that she would honor Uzume's words about what was going to happen to the others she mentioned and that Naruto's life road doesn't deviate too far, and that most importantly that it will decrease her paperwork like they all claimed.
Squealing like schoolgirls (like fangirls) at this rare occasion, the women quickly thought of what they where going to bless Naruto with. Benzaiten went first, and headed to the water basin on the table.
"I know all about the C.R.A., so this should be fun considering your part of four clans. I bless that Naruto Uzumaki, although he has it in him already, I bless that his words have more of an impact on the opposite sex without lovers and or with people that are in or have been in really depressing or bad situations like Naruto in some way shape or form, and that when Naruto helps them in their prospects, and in return they develop feeling for him that they will get a fair chance with him, and that who ever truly and not crush like, but truly loves him for him can smoothly get together with him that aren't too old" she finished with a smile.
"Good luck kid, if anyone can handle what I just did too you, you can" thought Benzaiten as she left and Kichijoten went over to the basin. Kichijoten went in a thinking pose before looking down at the water Basin. "Your life is destined to be hard and luck shows itself here and there to every mortal. Naruto Uzumaki, I bless you with you with incredibly good luck when if comes too survival, and general things that are outside of your destined road.
You'll find luck more then any other mortal, or when you least expect it, so your general luck as a mortal increases as well as your survival rate" Kichijoten finished and walked away. As she was passing Inari going to the water basin she had the amusing thought of "I wonder how many bets he can win in a lifetime?"
Inari for her part looked pleased and serious at the same time, and started her blessing "Your ancestors where one of my favored people and where very good worriers in their own way, for every warrior has a style. Naruto Uzumaki I renew the blessing I gave your ancestors of the Uzumaki Clan, and that it will also pass on too your decedents, as well as their skills in Fuinjutsu that was also subly part of that pact. I bless you newly that whatever style you fight with in the future, that you will become a master of that style, and that you will be proficient in it, especially when fighting for the right reasons."
Leaving the alter; Inari was surprised to see Kami step forward. Like noted before Kami rarely lets people mess with the destiny's of people; deities are allowed to answer prayers and bless people and or when they along and or their ancestors have been moral or righteous have a god's undivided attention and ultimate blessing. Besides answering some prayers, Kami herself has never blessed a specific person, and then doing so when she is "bending" the rules was surprising too them all.
Although they all sweat dropped, Kami included, when Uzume started cheering her to the water basin. Taking a deep breath Kami started "You are the first one that I'm giving a blessing too, so please feel honored, and I'm also hoping it lessons the paperwork, but like the others here I would also feel bad if you died the noble death that currently awaits you, even though it's a 50/50 chance right now.
For that and not giving into hatred for how people treat you and your kind soul into simply wanting to change people's views of you, as well as protecting two innocents from harm in the most painful and determined way, I shall grant two of your prayers and give you a blessing. Both of these make take some time but I grant your wish that you should have a family. You yourself probably won't see it at first, but it will be there amongst your friends and neighbors and will gradually grow. Second, and this one will take the longest but it does co-inside with your destiny.
Destiny is never written in stone, but generally things are meant to happen by your choices, so I will give you the power to change people's minds when done in the right way about things, and in a sense you will become an enigma in and on the mortal and ninja realm more so then you are now, despite you already being one, and now for my first blessing.
I bless you Naruto Uzumaki into simply following your dreams. It will be your choice, but if you work hard enough, all your dreams will come true, as long as it has either or both morals or love and or is done for the right reasons. I also offer you two gifts as well, and that is I will remove the very well hidden placement and filter seal that that headache Danzo placed on you as a ruse to get you under his miss-guided control. I hope this helps you and that it ticks Danzo off, and more then anything, lessons the paperwork.
I also will give you Kyuubi's other chakra back in hopes that it helps you; the seal would have given it back eventually but I'll let it happen sooner. Kami smiled, bowed too Naruto in the hope lessening the paper work, and strode next to the others who have blessed him. All eyes turned to the still partially drunk Uzume, who had the most mischievous smile on her face that worried Kami to no end.
Uzume, being the onri and fun loving person she was, hobbled over too the water basin with an evil grin. She had always wanted to do this to someone simply out of curiosity and entertainment purposes. Well the first part anyway, she wanted to make him drunk proof, but the kyuubi would just get rid of the alcohol in his system anyway. "Naruto Uzumaki, I bless you with the power…"
The others leaned in and Kami was starting to sweat at the possible problems this could cause. Uzume was looking like she was thinking long and hard, but inside she was laughing and thinking how much fun this was going to be. "Like your mother before you, you will be a prank master, and that your whisker marks and when you rub them and start purring will be past down to your kids, despite the fact you yourself don't know this can happen to you yet", and she finished with a laugh. The other four face-palmed, all the while Kami was sighing inside.
"Knowing her, that could have been worse, and the problems it could have caused, oh, the horror, but at least she didn't do something too bad, I think…" Kami thought long and hard, hoping, just hoping that blessing alone wouldn't cause her major problems.
After the blessing Uzume steered the conversation to what kind of favors the five could ask form Fujin and Suijin for saving the last descendent of their two family clans and possibly expanding it in the future with their blessings. During that rather entertaining hypothetical conversation Amaterasu found them and she started berating Kami for "irresponsible behavior."
She was quickly silenced and red faced by Uzume when she whispered something in her ear and left rather quickly, making the other women both curious at what Uzume refused to tell them what she said, and a good round of laughter at the poor deity's plight. All the while young Naruto Uzumaki was having in increase in red chakra surrounding him.
A Minute Before Kami Finished Her Blessing!
The Kyuubi no Youko, the great Nine-tailed Demon fox, the Lord of all Demons of the realm was having a bad day. No, let's rephrase that. The Great Demon Fox was having a shittiest, worse day that he can plainly recall since being sealed into a human gaki by the Yondaime Hokage six decrepit years ago, and that's saying something since it's forced to live in a sewer. Now the fox had no love for its container, but sympathy, yes, and plenty of it. If the fox wasn't sleeping in the dreary sewer, it was looking at the boy's memories.
It started out as something to do to pass the endless stream of boredom the fox felt. However, it soon turned to curiosity and sometimes rage. Rage for the fact that people where calling its container, warden, and ultimate jailer as the "demon" or "kyuubi" and confusing him with the gaki, and sympathetic rage for how people treated its container. For even a demon wouldn't treat a kit like that, but also curiosity. Its container didn't hold and ounce of animosity towards any of the village for it.
Instead its container seemed to want prove all of them wrong and do the best that he can to placate the wrong that they felt he did, and the fox had to admit with grudging respect that the boy was good at hiding. This drove the fox to study its container and keep in eye on him. Although there was a second reason as well. The fox loathed admitting it, but its survival rested on the tiny shoulders of the blond haired child.
Every once in a while, some villagers, and occasionally some ninja would hurt the boy in some way, shape, or form. Some really bad but normally nothing terrible despite the occasional broken bone, or a short beating, and that was nothing the fox couldn't help with.
Even with the boy's Kami forsaken seal keeping him in; he found he was at least aloud to indirectly protect himself from harm. However, now, now the great Demon Fox was pumping chakra into the boy for dear life, wondering if the kit could hold long enough for his grandfather figure or someone else to come save them both or they would surely die this night.
"Come on gaki, I don't think you can hear me, but for the love Kami hold on. You don't want to die in front of your potential mates do you" The fox tried to encourage. "Shit, what a way for us to go, it's not even his faul…" The fox's attention went to the two seals as it was starting to glow and it felt it old chakra that he though he would never feel again return. The fox had practically memorized both seals of his cage, from being in here so long, but even he never saw them glow.
The second seal completely disappeared in tatters, to the surprise and slight curious glee of the fox. Then he noticed that the four small circles near the right upper corner of the original seal start to turn and felt his chakra spike. Plus his chakra started to flow more evenly and better through the seal and with more chakra now to his still curious glee, he started pumping it like crazy.
Then he felt his old chakra return much to the fox's joy and curiosity, but he decided to dwell on that later. "Mmm" mused the fox in slight admiration. "I don't know how, but the human's annoying first seal is destroyed. Now I can pump him with more chakra, and if that one spinning circle is what I think it is we may make it yet." Yelled the fox in glee in his head, as he started repairing his container Naruto Uzumaki. "I feel that human's grandfather figure and several other familiar signatures approaching, should I interfere with what I believe is about to happen or do I wait and see where this goes, mmm" thought the fox. Honest curiosity as well as years of imprisonment of boredom in a sewer finally overrode the fox's survival instinct.
"I can now always pump enough chakra to stabilize him, so fuck it to hell and lets see where this goes" laughed the fox in his head. If only he knew how destiny changed drastically by this simple decision the fox made, and by the five deities above. "I wish I could see their faces, but it looks like where heading for the unknown" thought the fox with a mischievous gleam in his eyes, before it started laughing loudly!
Please note that I'm using an older for of Microsoft Word and that it sucks and now that I got auto correct off, I'm trying to fix all of the things it keeps telling me are wrong, most are not and the shit is getting annoying. Anyway, the next two chapters will be out soon after I reedit them from Word, and even though I got a job (thank god), a lot of it is going to bills, my now broken TV's replacement, and school which I also started.
P.S. There where a lot of hidden meanings and jokes about the deities when I wrote about them, tell me if you got any of them! Please leave a review and any ideas will be much appreciated!
