A/N Thanks you all so much for the support over these last couple of days, this is my first time publishing a Fanfiction of any kind, so again, thanks you all! Much appreciated. I also apologize for not uploading yesterday, so I'll make this chapter twice as long as the previous one.

"What!" Naruto yelled. Kurama giggled.

"You heard me correct, Naruto-Kun, you'll have fox features, like a tail and some ears. I think you'll look cute~" Kurama grinned cheekily. Naruto huffed.

"You do realize that if I suddenly sprout a tail, the villagers will hate me even more right?" Naruto asked, slightly annoyed. Kurama smiled sadly and nodded.

"That is why I am going to teach you a special technique. It is called Demonic Illusion: Demon Transformation Jutsu," Kurama said, "It will create an illusion around your body that fools all 5 senses. If someone were to try and touch your tail, they would think that nothing was there. They wouldn't be able to see, small, or hear the swish of your tails. Of course, it would take plenty of concentration the first couple of times, before it becomes instinct. So, here are the hand seals, and I expect you to practice it." Kurama showed him the hand seals before nodding. It was time for Naruto to get the fruit.

"Alright Kurama, I think I got the hand seals down," Naruto said, doing the hand signs. Kurama nodded.

"Naruto, tomorrow I want you to gather as many kunai as you have, and make your way to training ground 44, I will guide you to the fruit. Before you enter the training grounds, put as much chakra as you can into the summoning jutsu, but I want you to make sure you can still move afterwards. Understood?" Naruto nodded. "Good." Kurama got up from where she was previously sitting and yawned.

"Tired?" Naruto asked, grinning slightly. Kurama looked at him and nodded.

"You should be too, it's almost 9 o'clock at night. Get some sleep, kit," Kurama said lazily. Naruto nodded before his form drifted away as he entered the world of dreams.

The next morning, you could see Naruto putting on some of the only cloths that were suitable for a shinobi. He was wearing ANBU styles black pants, with a slightly burnt orange around the side. On his chest, one could see ANBU styled mesh over a black shirt. He also had a black mask going up to his nose, not unlike a certain lazy pervert.

Naruto yawned, annoyed that Kurama woke up at 6:00 AM. He sighed.

"Stupid vixens, making me wake up so early…" Naruto thought to himself grumbling before jumping slightly at an annoyed tone in his head.

"I can hear your thoughts you know…" Kurama said, slightly peeved at being called stupid. She was 9000 years old for heaven's sake! Naruto grinned.

"I know~," he said cheekily back to her. Kurama grumbled.

"Just hurry up to the training grounds…" she pouted. Naruto nodded and started out towards when Kurama was informing him the devils sense was closest. Soon, he arrived at a giant gate marked 'Training Grounds 44' before he nodded to himself.

"Go to the eastern gate, that is the closest to the aura." Kurama said, feeling the devil inside the fruit. Naruto started running before he arrived at the gate. Using a chakra enhanced leap, he cleared the top, barely. Naruto sighed in relief before continuing to follow Kurama's directions.

Naruto soon stumbled upon a tree that was taller than all the others. Luckily, he didn't encounter any giant animals, as he forgot to summon the fox.

"Is the devil fruit up there?" he thought to Kurama, who shook her head (though he couldn't see it).

"I think it's underneath it. Try to find an entrance or something." Kurama replied. Naruto nodded, frowning slightly. Underneath? He started to circle the tree, looking for the entrance like he was told. On the other side of the tree he was standing at originally, there were a small divide in the trunk of the tree, followed by an ominous aura. He slipped between the crack, and immediately felt a freezing draft if wind blow over him. With breath visible, he started to move down the steps inside the long tree. The farther down he went, the colder the air around him seemed to get. Just as Naruto was rethinking coming down here, a large cavern suddenly opened up in front of him.

The room was large, the ceiling was easily fifteen feet off the ground. A small glaze of ice layered the inside of the cave, making it slick. In the center of the room sat a blue fruit, frosted over by the cold temperatures.

"That's it Naruto! Go, eat the damn thing, it's cold in here. I wish I could stop feeling what you feel for just one second…" Kurama said, shivering slightly. Naruto grinned, and ran forward, grabbing the fruit. He put it in his pocket and walked out of the cave. Once he got back outside the cave, he pulled out the strange fruit and examined it further.

The fruit was a light cyan color, with little swirls around it. It was cold to the touch, and the air around it was visible. Naruto opened up his mouth and bit. Freezing, it tasted like he just bit into a piece of frozen pear. Finished chewing, he immediately swallowed, before finishing up the consumption of the rest of the fruit.

"Naruto! Summon the fox! I sense someone coming," Kurama yelled. Naruto nodded and quickly going through the signs before slamming his hand against the ground.

"Summoning Jutsu!" Naruto yelled, followed by a puff of smoke. Once it cleared, it showed a small, white fox.

"Hello, I am assuming you are the new summoner," the fox spoke in a feminine voice, "I am Yuki, I was told I was to be your personal summon once you meet the boss, is there anything you need me to do?"

"There is something coming, I need you to help me drive them off befo-" suddenly Naruto collapsed, ice forming around his entire body. The last thing Naruto saw before he passed out was two footsteps landing in front of him.

Anko was having one of her normal strolls through her beloved forest. She sighed as a giant tiger tried to kill her. Key word, tried. Seconds before it's giant paw swiped her, she disappeared from it's view before she stabbed it with a potent poisoned kunai, which instantly knocked it out.

She smiled. Looks like the tiger population is bouncing back from its war with the giant centipedes. That's why she didn't want to straight up kill the tiger, they were endangered, or at least as close to as endangered as a twenty foot tiger can be. Anko walked over to the giant beast before collection the kunai she used. Suddenly, Anko felt a chakra signature nearby, along with another one. A centipede. She glared, sensing that the other chakra signature was a small boy, who just used a jutsu. She started to rush as quick as she could to where see sensed them.

When Anko arrived, she saw that the giant twelve feet long centipede was slowly approaching a small boy, around the age of 7 or 8. The boy seemed to of sensed the centipede too, as he started forming hand seals. He quickly slammed his hand against the ground and called out.

"Summoning Jutsu!" he shouted, shocking Anko that a kid so young had a contract. He started speaking to his summon before faltering, along with centipede moving in. Anko reacted instantly. Swinging two kunai towards the centipede, she instantly stabbed the brain before jumping towards the boy.

Frozen. The boy was frozen solid. And his summon, a fox it seemed, was growling at her. She sighed, motioning to the fox she meant no harm. She started to approach the boy before the fox spat out a miniature ice spike at her. Dodging the attack, she quickly through a couple of senbon to disperse the small fox. Surprisingly, it stayed around after being hit.

The fox reared her head back and Barked. As a shockwave of sound beat her ears, the fox ran forward, only to stop with a kunai at her neck.

"Dispel before I make you. I mean no hard to the boy, let me help him." Anko said, her eyes cold. Nodding, the fox stepped back.

"I will stop attacking you, but I will not dispel until I know he is alright." she spoke, causing Anko to nod. Walking over to the boy, she pick him up, and used the Body Flicker Technique to disappear with the boy, quickly followed by the fox. She appeared in the hospital, only to realize most of the ice is gone. Shocked, she dropped the boy and called out. Quickly, a couple of doctors ran over, before glaring. Anko sighed, before she realized they weren't glaring at her. They seemed to be glaring at the boy.

"Call the brats team," one of the doctors spat out, glaring at the blonde boy. One of the nurses nodded and ran over and yelled for somebody. Slowly, a girl, an Inuzuka it seemed, walked out. One look at the boy, her face became filled with shock.

"Naruto!" she called, shocking Anko. This boy was Naruto? The only other person who was hated just as much as her? The dog girl ran over and immediately picked up Naruto, and ran to one of the rooms, leaving a shell shocked Anko behind.

When Naruto awoke, he was blinded by lights. Hospital. Again. He sighed, before sitting up, but was stopped by a gentle hand landing on his chest.

"Easy Naruto, are you ok? You got dropped off here by one of the T & I division workers (Torture and Interrogation). Naruto sighed before nodding. What happened…? Oh, yeah, he was getting the devil fruit.

"I'm fine Rin, let me up," he said. Nodding, the girl, Rin, let Naruto get up, who started to stretch.

"Kit, are you ok? I was worried you were rejecting the fruit." Kurama spoke out in his mind. Nodding, Naruto got up and walked over to the dresser that was next to his hospital bed. Grabbing his clothes, he motioned Rin to leave, before he started to change back into them.

"I'm fine, Kurama, I think my body was just getting used to the whole, you know, becoming ice," Naruto spoke back. He felt Kurama nod her head.

"Try to see if you can make your body freeze something, like that plant over there," Kurama said, think about the plant he just walked by. Nodding, Naruto walked over to the plant and put his hand on it. He thought about freezing it, and suddenly, the leaf he was holding froze instantaneously. Naruto grinned. It worked!

"Naruto, go see if you have a resistance to the cold, I suggest going back to that room in the forest. It should be easier now that you can't be hurt by things unless they use a fire technique, which I highly doubt you'll have to worry about." Kurama said to him. Naruto nodded, before he decided to try something. Imagining himself inside the cave, he imagined himself shatter and reform inside the cave. Opening his eyes, he saw that we was inside the cave again. He grinned.

"That. Is. Awesome! I can teleport!" Naruto thought, grinning. Noticing that he didn't feel cold he looked around and grinned again. This power is awesome! Suddenly, he noticed a glint in the back of the room, behind where the fruit was. Frowning, he walked behind the pedestal that contained the fruit. It was a Ninjato. The blade was a pale blue, with the etchings of a white dragon running alone the blade. Like the fruit, the air around the blade was visible. He reached forward, and grabbed the hilt of the blade, only to black out. Again.
