Naruto Chapter 02: Hanyou and Fox meet
"Rama try again." Kushina Said softly.
Rama nodded. Arched his arm backwards and fired at the target. The arrow barley hit the target; only hitting the white edge of the target post.
Rama sighed in frustration. He knew using a bow would be hard, but never this difficult. After his encounter with Sakura he went home. Once he was home Kushina started his training right away. This launching arrows at a target had been going on for an hour now, but Rama still couldn't hit the red spot on the target post.
He was about to fire another arrow, but he stopped when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around only to see Kushina motherly smile. "Don't get frustrated. You've only been doing this for an hour dear." She said with a gentle tone. Rama nodded but deep down he was still frustrated. He wanted to be good at archery, but failing at it so far, he didn't take it well. During the thirty minutes of trying to fire the bow, he already wanted to give up, but with the comfort of his mother, he resumed back to firing at the target post.
"Kaa-san I think I made a friend today." Rama said still firing at the target post. If he had looked back, he would see a shocked Kushina's face. "Really what's your friends name?"
"Sakura Haruno. She was being bullied by some kids and I beat them up and made them run away. I don't know why, but they were making fun of her because of her forehead of something like that." Kushina Laughed outload, which made Rama turn around with a confused look. "Kaa-san are you alright?"
"Hehe yes I'm fine I just remembered that Sakura's mother had the same bullies making fun of her forehead as well. Her name was Mebuki Haruno and she had the same problem that her daughter is facing now. She was my friend when we were both in the academy together. I was very tomboyish when I was little you see and I would always fight her bullies off. It seems you're in the same shoes as I was Rama." She explained making Rama's confused face rather more evident as she explained Mebuki to him. "so is this like a family trait in the Haruno family, because honestly I don't see it. Sakura's forehead looks normal." Rama said.
"Well no, honestly Mebuki and Sakura have only gotten ridiculed for their forehead, but her father doesn't show that similar trait so she gets it from her mother I guess." She said shrugging her shoulder. She could not care about who Rama played with as long as he had a friend. She was very anxious when Rama had gone to school the first time fearing that he wouldn't make any friends. She didn't want the title of the nine-tails container to get in the way of him making relationships with others. Since Minato made that law to never talk about the nine-tails to the new generation, Rama had been given and easier time making bonds with others. Even if Mebuki would have told her child about the nine-tails that Rama had inside him, she would never make her child hate him as she saw through blind hatred and looked at the container as a whole.
"Alight Rama let's keep working on your archery and we can talk about this more when we get home ok." She said wanting to provide as much motivation to Rama's training as she wanted him to succeed in this.
Rama just groaned, nodded and went back to firing arrows at the target post.
-Lines goes here-
Kushina and Rama spent two more hours of training. Rama had gotten closer to the red target, but that's all he could do. He was frustrated at first, but he calmed down after Kushina had said that it was only his first day and that he would improve over time. He gradually accepted that as they ended the training and went back home. As they both entered the house they saw Naruto and Natsumi sleeping on the couch.
"It seems as though they were waiting on us." Kushina said giggling at the sight of her children. She then walked over to them and woke them up gently.
"Mmmm Kaa-san you made it back home. Hey nii-san, how did your training go?" Naruto asked.
"it was alright, but I didn't make too much progress."
"Well you will get better at it." Naruto said giving Rama his signature foxy grin.
"Yeah thanks." Rama said as he went up the stairs to take a shower and go to bed. He had thought of this day as an achievement and also a set-back as well. He was getting better at archery but he didn't improve as much as he had hoped he would. His mother was an excellent teacher though and without her he knew he would be worse off.
As he was done with his shower and put on his pajamas he went to bed.
Hokage tower: council meeting room
In the council room all the clan heads that inhabited Konoha were seated in chairs discussing political matters that involved the village. Minato who had been listening to the elders and clan head babble on and on was getting exhausting by the constant routine. He also had to deal with Danzo who was never on his side for anything when he had an idea. The man was always against at every turn.
"Hokage-dono how do you not know where Jiraiya-sama is. It's been three years since you assigned him to that infernal mission and he hasn't been back since!" Homura shouted. Minato glared at her and said, "That infernal mission you call it depends on the safety of konoha. We have to know everything about Iwa. Ever since the nine-tails attacked the village Iwa has become more frequent in their attacks." Minato sated to the woman making her nod in defeat. She knew Minato had made the right chose but she didn't feel too comfortable about having an elite jōnin out of the village, especially since Iwa was attacking them so much.
"Speaking of the nine-tails, how's the boy?" This time the voice came from Danzo. Minato glanced at Danzo and said, "Me and Kushina have just put him into the academy so there's nothing to fear Danzo." Minato sternly said hoping Danzo would make off from the topic at hand. Thankfully Danzo did back off, but Minato knew that the topic would come back at a later date.
"Now what i wanted to talk about before the elders rudely interrupted me is what we have found out about the new villages." Everyone in the room went stiff at the new information. Minato proceeded to take out an envelope out of his jacket.
"this envelope was sent by a raven. What I have read so far the person who wrote this is unknown to us." Minato could hear whispers now all through the room as the elders startled rambling to each other.
"Minato how do you even know it's from any of the new villages. What does the letter even intel?" This time the voice came from Shukaku Nara from the Nara clan.
"What I read to you may never leave this room, is that understood." Everyone nodded as Minato opened the envelope and took out the paper inside and started reading.
"Hokage of the Hidden konohagakure I extend my hand in friendship and wish peace with your village and mine. I am a kage as well and I know the risk that you are taking with this invitation. I will reveal myself and my village to you once the chūnin exams start in Konoha. Hopefully during that time, you and your council will decide on rather you wish to set an alliance with me. I hope to see you soon Hokage." Once Minato got done reading, an uproar of conversation suddenly started happening.
"How can we even trust that letter; it could be a trap!"
"Homura-san is right this could be a trap to take us off guard when the chūnin exams happen."
"We can't allow this, whoever wrote that letter must be dealt with immediately!"
"Silence!" Everyone quieted down and looked straight at Minato who was still holding the letter in his hand.
"Even though the letter seems obscure on who it is; we can't just assume that the person who wrote this is planning an attack upon the village. Though when the chūnin exams due come I will reinforce security just to be safe when this so called kage comes to our doors." Everyone nodded in agreement except for Homura and Danzo who looked like they were in their thoughts.
"Is it really wise to just let an unknown force enter our village Hokage-sama? We have no idea what they will be capable of." Inoichi Yamanaka, the clan head of the Yamanaka clan said with concern in his voice.
"It's not a good idea Yamanaka-san I am fully aware of this, but a Hokage must take risk and if this person is telling the truth on forming an alliance of some sort then it would be beneficial to Konoha." Minato stated, but before inoichi could or any others could say anything else Minato put up his hand to stop them.
"Now I want everyone to leave as I have work to be done, all of you are dismissed."
Drip
Rama's feelings and nerves had come back to life, but he was confused since he knew that he had gone to sleep, but he for some reason felt awake. He felt wet as well and looking around he saw that the place he was in looked rusted and outright filthy. He sat up only to look down and see he was in a huge puddle of water. Observing around as what caught his eye shocked him. A huge gate could be seen, bars were rusted and looked like they were going to rust away any second.
Drip
What was that sound? It echoed as if he was in some kind of enclosed room or hallway, it felt strange, almost like he had been here before. The air was hard to breath being that the room was very humid and hot. Rama also noted that the room looked like a sewer of some sorts.
Drip
There it was again, the boy frantically tried to find the water that was dripping. He slowly got to his feet and started walking down the hallway, looking around in case a threat would approach and he wasn't prepared. He was going to be a ninja, or would be a ninja, registering into the academy in the first place was a testament to that.
Drip
A slip of paper was stuck to the middle of of the huge gate, with the Kanji "Seal" written on it.
"-sigh- where the heck am I?"
"Come closer child." A voice said. Rama jolted in alarm at the voice that just randomly appeared. It didn't take too long for him to get that the voice was coming from the gate and approached the cage, he didn't know what to expect nor did he know what was behind the gate, but if the size of the gate said anything to the young brunette, it was that whatever was on the other side was tall and inhuman.
After a few steps, Rama stopped being only inches away from the gate, his common sense telling him to be prepared for anything. Trying to readjust his eyes, trying to see what figure was inside. After a while his eyes widened as the largest fox he had even seen, lay on the other side with a bored expression on its face. The fox was eyeing the boy carefully, as if calculating the child's movements.
Rama took notice of the large nine tails that seemed to have a mind of Its own and wave about around the back of the large fox. Though Rama felt intimidated by this gigantic space he stood his ground, making direct eye contact with the fox.
The fox's eyes seemed to mesmerize his own to a point where the emotion of intoxication felt like it was going to take over and make him go insane. The boy really didn't know what to say as he was completely flabbergasted at what was in front of him at the moment. The fox seemed to notice this and chuckle in almost an amused tone.
"Are you just going stand there and gawk at me?" It asked. It wasn't a question; it was more like a confirmation as it read the Brunettes actions carefully. Rama seemed to nod slowly but still not say anything. As it smiled and shifted its position and lay in an almost relaxed posture, like a dog lying lazily on a couch it continued to observe the boy. Rama quickly got out of his stupor by shaking his head and looking at the fox's eyes once more.
"Do you know what I am?" The question seemed to answer itself, how could Rama not know of the Kyuubi? The looks he would get from the villagers, the constant whispers of him being a demon. He knew when he was five that he was the container of the kyuubi. No one really knew who had defeated the kyuubi; all Minato had told him and everyone was that the man was once a Konoha shinobi and left it at that. Though he was confused as to why he was able to talk with the kyuubi and more confused where ever this place was.
"You're the Kyuubi." Rama stated. "I just thought that you were defeated, I never knew we could talk to each other" Rama said, Shocking the nine tails with the cage as he never thought that the boy would catch on this fast, though the boy never noticed its surprise as it appeared it was quickly gone. The fox closed its eyes as if it was contemplating something. Rama could see the fox was thinking, it wanted something from him that was for sure.
"You catch on fast kid and you don't seem scared by me either, I must say I'm impressed. But onto important matters, I simply want to talk with you." Kyuubi replied in an almost bored tone. Rama nodded surprising the kyuubi. The boy neither showed fear nor hate for him. This was the first time one of his container had not showed no type of rage or fear. Kyuubi seemed to smile at him; it was confusing that the fox was being so… calm about this. He had heard stories about its rage, strong enough to take form and burn forests, crush villagers, shatter mountains, but here it was, just lying in a cage asking if he would talk with him.
'It seems as though the stories I heard were false."
"Sure what do you want to talk to me about?" Rama said still looking the kyuubi right in the eye in case he angered the beast, making sure he wouldn't disrespect the fox in anyway.
"I would like to make a contract with you. You see if I'm going to be with another container than I'd rather have a little more freedom then I did with the others before you. In return I shall give you access to my chakra and the benefits that come with it. "Kyuubi replied. Rama seemed to raise an eyebrow, confused to the proposition. In his mind though he was utterly shocked at the deal. The deal in his eyes was really tempting though he felt bad for the kyuubi at the moment. Rama never hated the kyuubi. Deep down he knew that the stories about the kyuubi were wrong, they were just idiotic stories that the villagers made up. Though he was confused about a few things.
How could the fox know about his life? Did he know what the villagers do to him almost every day? There were so many questions running through his head right now to be sure what to ask the kyuubi.
"Kyuubi-san, could you please explain to me what's going on? Where am I and how do you know about my life? If you can answer that then I will gladly sign whatever contract, there is." Rama asked, seemingly surprising the kyuubi yet again but the beast nodded agreeing to the questions.
"Of course, right now we are in what I would call a Dream World. This place is based off your feelings and emotions, an easier way to say it that this place would be your mind, which is where I am currently held prisoner, thanks to one of your own." Kyuubi said. Rama eyebrows furrowed as he learned this information.
"Kyuubi-san I'm sorry that your sealed inside me, I…I didn't know you were subconsciously inside me anyway. If I would have known, I would have tried to come here earlier." Rama said casting his head down in shame. Kyuubi was getting rather annoyed at how many times he had been shocked by this boy, but he couldn't help it. The kyuubi had never heard someone apologize to him, ever. The kyuubi really didn't know what to say.
"You don't have to apologize kit, I understood that it wasn't your fault that I'm stuck here so don't blame yourself." The kyuubi said as soft as he could, but his voice was still deep so it still sounded as though he was angry. Rama nodded
"To understand the story of how I ended up here, we have to go back seven years to when I attacked your village, on the night of when you were sealed in me… But to know the full story, first you must know about your father." Kyuubi said eyeing the dark haired child with mild amusement when he said father.
Rama's eyes widened when he heard the Kyuubi mention his father. Minato knew who his father was, but he only said that he was going to tell him when the time came. The only minuscule information he had gotten about his dad was that he died in the kyuubi's attack.
"You knew my father?" Rama said in a neutral tone trying to hold his excitement.
Kyuubi smiled slightly, the excitement of children, such innocence, but innocence in Rama was all but non-existent. Rama was ignored, kicked out of stores when he was alone, hated by his fellow shinobi all because they thought he was a demon. Rama though had Kushina and his siblings was forced to grow up quickly, but he still kept some of his childish antiques.
"I knew him, I spent some time with him…well my previous container did, his name was Yuuta Kishou if I remember correctly "Kyuubi said as he watched the child's neutral face, but the kyuubi could see the boy's excitement in his eyes. Rama's mind was going crazy by the new information. He was also slightly mad at Minato for not telling him who at least his father's name was. Kishou; the name was strong and he loved it deep down.
"And what about my mother, did you know her as well?" Rama asked not caring that he showed his excitement anymore. The boy had a smile while looking at the kyuubi hoping he would have the answer. Kyuubi was amused at the child acting like a child for once in a long time. Ever since Rama found out that many people hated him for what he had inside him he always had to watch his own back, forced to grow up into the shoes of a responsible adult and care for himself. Kushina was a good care taker but Rama knew that if he didn't have Kushina it would be a lot harder for him. Kyuubi then frowned at the boy's question, he didn't know who the boy's mother was.
"Your mother is a mystery to me kit, I have no idea who she was." Kyuubi said. Rama just nodded a little disappointed at the information.
"Do you know anything else about my father."
"Sadly no all I remember while I was in Kushina is that she and your father were best friends. Maybe now that you know the truth she might be able to tell you more." Rama nodded though he knew if he told his mother about this, she would tell Minato and then things would get complicated for both him and the kyuubi.
"Rama… The villagers hate you because they think you are me. They think that me being sealed into you makes you me. It's common for villagers to misunderstand, but since you are hated by ninja, it's wrong and they should know better. Our situation is no different than a kunai and a scroll. If I am the kunai and you are the scroll, when the kunai gets sealed into the scroll, does that make the scroll a kunai? It's a simple matter of misunderstanding of how sealing works." Kyuubi explained to the child who was staring straight at the kyuubi listening to everything it said.
"I don't think as you as a kunai though. Your not a tool, you have a conscious, you have everything that I have." Rama almost shouted mad that the kyuubi deduced it to that logic. To Rama this little conversation felt good. He felt comfort when talking to the beast in front of him.
The kyuubi saw this boy in front of him and was just in sheer disbelief. The boy truly didn't hate him. He hated to admit it, but it was nice to find someone who didn't look at him in disgust or fear him whenever they saw his presence. The fox liked the boy, his peaceful nature was growing on him.
Rama looked up at Kyuubi, staring him dead in the eyes, tears now noticeably streaming down his cheeks. he felt so dead inside for some reason. He finally knew why he was hated by everyone; he was hated, ostracized, ignored, and hunted sometimes because of their bigotry. He felt so much rage not at the kyuubi but at the villagers that saw the kyuubi as some evil person. All the kyuubi had shown was nothing but kindness.
"Kyuubi I've decided to sign whatever contract you have. Whatever the villagers or the shinobi who fear you are in the wrong and if we have to deal with the hate I would rather be prepared." Rama said, his eye's determined. Kyuubi went wide-eyed at the boy's mini speech. The boy was like nothing he had ever seen before and he was very mature for his age but the boy also had fire and compassion Kyuubi noted.
"You remind me so much of him "Kyuubi whispered to himself, but because of kyuubi being a gigantic fox and all, its voice was loud and Rama clearly heard it.
"uhh what?"
"Nothing sorry just me rambling, but I guess it's time to consummate the contract if you are ready." Rama quickly nodded seeing as the benefits were too good to pass up. Suddenly Rama heard a hissing around him. He observed his surroundings and went wide-eyed when he saw something that look like crimson energy coming towards him.
"There's no need to fear Rama, let my energy connect to you. When it does the contract will be complete."
Rama looked at the kyuubi and trusted in the beast. Once the energy made contact, Rama jolted in pain falling down to his knees in pain, but not for long as the energy completely simulated with him. Rama then looked up at the kyuubi with a mock angry look.
"You knew that was going to hurt didn't you!" the boy shouted making the kyuubi laugh.
"Hehehe yes I did but if I told you probably would have trusted me."
"I guess." Rama said slightly annoyed. "so what does making a contract intel?"
"Well besides you getting to use my power, I get to see through your eyes, I taste everything you eat, feel everything you feel, were basically connected." The kyuubi stated which Rama nodded in confirmation. He then looked at the kyuubi with a confused expression.
"So why did you attack the village, because you and I know that you didn't do it because you hated the village. Weren't you supposed to be sealed inside Kushina?" Rama asked in a serious tone looking straight at the kyuubi. Kyuubi had to admit, this kid knew when to be serious, not five minutes ago had he been shown as caring and kind, but now he he was shown as a man who needed answers.
"It was not a matter of what my agenda was with the leaf village, it was a matter of someone else's stupid plot for revenge, from what I can tell. During pregnancy, a female Jinchuriki's seal is weakened to the point where it is possible for the Bijuu to escape from its host. I had a similar chance when Kushina gave birth to your so called siblings, however the fourth Hokage was keeping the seal in place so it was rather hard to break free. At the time, I was filled with rage, anger, I wanted to destroy everything when I escape, and I wanted to kill everything I could find. When I did escape however, Kushina had already given birth and the seal was rebuilding itself back to normal…
However, I found that I was more or less forced out of Kushina's seal and when I got out, I find my freedom was shortly lived as a man with a single red eye that hid behind an orange swirled mask. That eye reminded me of one man, a man called Uchiha Madara. Before I even realized what had happened, I was pulled into a Genjutsu and was force to do that mans every command.
I was then summoned to your village, and with no control over my body, I was commanded to lay waste to it, but luckily your father and the Hokage managed to subdue me and my mind was returned to my control. However before I could make my escape, I was pinned down by leaf shinobi and eventually I found myself pinned down by the fourth Hokage, the old monkey and your father. Before I even knew it, I was sealed into you."Kyuubi explained. Rama was trying to see if the Kyuubi was lying, but the story seemed too connected and consistent to be made up, on the other hand, if he really was sealed into him at birth, that explained the secrecy that was kept from him from Minato. However, Rama really didn't care as it wasn't the kyuubi's fault so he didn't blame the beast.
"At first, I was in a rage; I couldn't believe I was sealed again! I tried to find every loop hole I could in this seal and claw my way out even if I killed you, at the time I couldn't care less for an insignificant child like you, I found myself to mighty and two powerful to be held down by a mere child." Kyuubi chuckled as if it was a memory he was looking back on and laughing at how stupid he had been. Rama just seemed to stare at the large fox with a neutral expression listening to what the fox had to say.
"But after a while I found none, and I resigned to my fate as yet again, I was sealed, with no way out. After a year or two, I started to think, I started to contemplate why it seems to be like this, why the greatest of Bijuu such as myself has to get captured and sealed into a human like some sort of monster, force to become a weapon for a village of shinobi. As the more I thought, the more I came to realize that my rage was clouding my judgement, all I thought about was killing, but it was then I realized just maybe why I was put into you. Maybe the old man sage was right and I was just being ignorant and foolish." Kyuubi said with a sigh, but continued again as he saw Rama eyes still on him patiently waiting for him to continue.
"I thought maybe I was meant to do something, maybe there is a purpose for me being here, just like with Kushina and Mito… maybe I was meant to help them in a way, the old man placed his trust in us to keep the peace in this land, but after a long time I turned bad, I felt rage, but now I feel like I did back then… I feel like I finally understand what old man sage was talking about… we Bijuu are meant to carry on his will to keep the peace, but we have not done that, we help wage war, even now we still do… and it was then that I had felt a great shame, a feeling so foreign to me that I had trouble understanding it at first… regret… I regret not helping Mito, I regret not helping Kushina… maybe if I did, You and I wouldn't be in this situation. But now, I can change that, it seems the old sage has been watching over me and has given me another chance to make things right, to help bring peace to this world, and I believe I can help you achieve it Rama." Kyuubi said with a slight smile. Rama returned his smile with his own. Ever since he had met the kyuub, he knew that the beast was not truly evil, just misunderstood and lonely like himself. He also understood that the kyuubi felt rage and anger for being inside him, since he would be just like the kyuubi if he had to be sealed like this.
"I may not understand what you have gone through Kyuubi, but your wrong about one thing. Your hate and anger was completely in the right. If any other person was sealed up like you were then they would be having the same emotions as you do," Rama Said.
"I know you're not lying to me as it would be inconvenient to lie as it would make the situation worse for both of us. And I'm pretty sure that if I die than you die as well… that's what I read up on about the Shiki Fuujin anyway." Rama said but before he could continue, Kyuubi interrupted him.
"Yes you are correct that if you die, I die as well. That's how this seal works. Your father, and Yondaime Hokage were Fūinjutsu masters. Your father I remember placed the Shiki Fuujin (Dead Demon Consuming Seal) on your body when he sealed me into you during our fight. He also placed Hakke no Fuin Shiki (Eight Trigrams Sealing Style) over the seal for extra protection. He was truly a seal master, so if I take over your body by force and kill you, I'll die as well. Though I still confused that he was able to know those sealing techniques as Kushina never taught him those seals" Kyuubi explained. Rama seemed to tilt his head to the side, not understanding what the fox meant. Minato's Notes clearly stated that the Shiki Fuujin were mainly Uzumaki techniques only for Uzumaki to use In dire 's eyes went wide as he put two-and-two together.
"If mom and Minato didn't teach him those seals then he learned them on his own or learned them from another Uzumaki." Rama said.
"Maybe but we'll never know since he's dead now. The only people who knew your father is Minato, Kushina and that Raven Anbu that always stalks you." That last person the Kyuubi had said made Rama get shivers up his spine. Raven was the last person he would go to to get information about his dad. Though he did like her as and she was like a sister to him, everyone knew that behind her fake emotions lied something dark. Rama predicted that Bringing up his father to her would probably bring up some dark pasts that he didn't want her to remember, for his safety of course. Not only would bringing up his father be bad but it would also bring up the topic of the kyuubi as well. He didn't mind talking about the kyuubi, but that didn't mean others did.
"You said that the man reminded you of Uchiha Madara right? Then he's definitely an Uchiha and a strong one at that since he was able to control you like Madara did."
"Yes but the man I know is not Madara. Madara would never have a mask on to hide his identity. The man had too much pride, that if he was still alive and wanted to lay waste to the village he would have showed his face to all of konoha. The mask man also had abilities that I had never seen before; abilities that Madara never had." The Kyuubi explained. Rama nodded believing the kyuubi as the boy had read books about Madara Uchiha. To say-the-least the man was flashy but powerful nonetheless. The man didn't even use the infamous sharingan to use genjutsu on his enemies. He liked to fight them head on never using ninja tactics. Rama noted that Madara was more like a Samurai then anything. He had honor in fights something that a ninja should not really have.
"Alright Kyuubi… eh, do you have a name instead of just Kyuubi? I mean calling you by the number of your tails just seems a bit odd. Do Bijuu have names?" Rama asked as he squinted at Kyuubi's fox tails waving around as the lazy fox just lay with his head on top of his paws.
"Kurama. I've already decided that I was going to give you my name before you left anyway. You also have shown kindness that no other container has ever shown and I'm thankful for that." Kyuubi, now as he dubbed Kurama replied. Rama smiled as he gave the fox a traditional grin.
"Nice to meet you Kurama-san, I hope I can get to know you better." Rama said with a grin. Kurama scoffed, but smile as well.
"Nice to meet you too Rama… now for the proposition… As of right now, the way your father left the seal, I am able to send you seventy percent of my maximum youki as a max. We can mix you chakra and my youki together and strengthen our bond and allow to semi-transform. You would only need use twenty percent of my youki to allow you to go Bijuu-mode. …That's weird…." Rama saw the fox go wide-eyed which was a shock to him as this was the first time he saw Kurama surprised like this.
"What's wrong Kurama-san."
"No one's ever been able to access seventy percent of my youki before. Kushina and Mito were only able to access fifty at best." Kurama explained to Rama but he was really talking to himself as he was in deep thought for the moment but he just shrugged it off in the end.
"Soooo what does that imply. And what's bijuu mode? Rama asked with a comical question mark on top of his head. Kurama sighed and chuckled at Rama's question. The boy was smart, but sometimes he could be clueless.
"Basically it's a mixture of Your chakra and my youki if both of us are willing to blend our energies and it will allow you to transform per-say. It increases your strength, speed and sensing abilities to new heights, although, you will have to train how to use it." Kurama explained. Rama was in a state of confusion at the moment. He was going to be trained by Kurama!? Once he realized that, kurama was going to be his teacher he mentally was delighted as Kurama was thousands of years old and without-a-doubt had endless knowledge that kurama could share with him.
"However I am not trained in the shinobi arts, so I will not be able to help you with jutsu… that is something you will have to learn on your own. I can however help you with extensive chakra control so you will be able to utilize the Bijuu mode to its full potential." Kurama continued looking down seeing a frown from Rama. Kurama smirked when a number of different chakra control exercises came to mind. Maybe he still retained its sadistic side as it chuckled lowly to himself.
"So you're going to help not per say shinobi training but with Chakra control?" Rama asked in wonder. Kurama sighed and chuckled. Kurama noded letting Rama know that he was correct.
"yes, I believe that you can become something very great. I will not abandon you like I did with my other host. So in order to keep us alive I'd rather train you in controlling my youki rather than later when you are in danger." Kurama replied. He then saw Rama bowing to him in a respectful way.
"Arigato Kurama-sensei… I don't know what else to say to express my feelings." Rama said with a smile. The boy had finally found a friend, a friend he would stick with for the rest of his life, someone who would help him. Kurama grinned and looked away in mock annoyance.
"Bah! Such words, don't thank me it feels weird after what I have done." Kurama said feeling uncomfortable with the praise. Rama frowned.
"I already said that it wasn't that any of your fault that this happened. You are my friend, my partner that I rely on. And until I can free you out of this prison without me dying then that will stay that way I hope if you are willing to do so." Rama State with determination in his eyes. Kurama was beyond shocked at this. This boy wanted him to be free?
"Boy I don't think that's possible."
"Well i'll make it possible…I'll become a better seal master then Minato or my dad combined and then I'll free you. I just hope we can still become friends." After Rama was done with his mini declaration Kurama said nothing. He didn't know whether to be happy or completely annoyed at the boys promise.
'Now I am certain that this boy will change this world. Not by you will father but his own. He will make his own destiny whether or not you like it. And I will help this boy become the person he truly wishes to be.' Kurama thought with a wide grin.
Rama kept observing the fox and saw a grin, but then got startled when he saw a fist made by Kurama that was held just outside of the cage. Rama looked confused and looked to Kurama to explain his actions.
"This will be the second step to our bond. Bump fists and I'll open a Youki network between us, but this seal will restrict more than thirty percent so I'll only be able to give you seventy, which should be well enough since no other container of mine has been able to withstand that much. I'm kinda curious how you'll be able to handle that much Youki but if you handle seventy percent…so be it." Kurama said. Rama understood what the large fox had just said and slowly nodded.
"This Youki network will allow me to control your chakra flow, so when you enter Bijuu mode, I can help you in certain areas so you don't end up killing yourself by overloading your chakra network and coils by accident." Kurama continued. Rama nodded as he took in this information. He was still so happy to have a friend like Kurama, someone willing to actually help him reach his goals that he didn't even know how to achieve. He didn't care what he had done in the past, he could tell the fox was trying to make up for it now and he'd be dammed it someone tried to fix that.
And on that note, Rama replied with a simple fist bump with Kurama. Almost after a few seconds, he felt a huge change.
What felt like a river of life and power exploded around Rama's form, his form changed as he was suddenly lit up in a yellow/orange flame? His Black hair stood up, waving around in a non-existent breeze. Strange black lines appeared around his body and mainly focused around his mid-section.
It was a feeling of pure ecstasy; his whole body looked like it was on fire. The golden orange flames would dance around his shoulders; his hair was standing and waving in a breeze. He felt alive, he felt powerful, and he felt like he could take on the world. He looked back at Kurama with a smile so bright it could dwarf the sun.
It was then he noticed something, he could feel something coming from Kurama… it felt like happiness? Mixed with something from relief to pride, Rama wasn't sure what to make of this, but before he could ask, Kurama seemed to answer his own question.
"In that form, you can feel other people's emotions if you focus hard enough. A useful skill when you are trying to figure out true intentions and see if people are lying. Though this is surprisingly unexpected. So my speculations were true. You don't Have Chakra but youki" The large fox said with a smile. Rama examined his body; he had never felt so good in his life. He actually looked like he was on fire. Rama then looked at Kurama with a confused expression.
"What do you mean Kurama?" Rama was completely confused. What did Kurama mean that he had no chakra?
"Promise you won't freak out."
"what…"
"Just promise me." This confused Rama greatly as he saw kurama with a serious expression. What kurama was going to say was serious to his wellbeing. Rama simply nodded promising he wouldn't freak out from whatever revelation
"You're not particularly human Rama, But somehow Hanyou…" Rama went wide-eyed at the revelation. What did Kurama mean by that? Hanyou?
"What do you mean Kurama, how can I be a Hanyou."
"Hmmm I have no idea, but you are half demon and half human and that is a fact. That is the only explanation for how you were able to access that form. If you weren't half Hanyou then that form wouldn't have been possible. Well… it would be possible just not at your current state, since your chakra wouldn't have been matured enough." The revelation hit Rama hard and Kyuubi could feel its container concern.
"Do not be alarmed Rama. I'm just as shocked as you are. To think I would have a container half demon was not my initial prediction. Though it seems as though that this will be easier than I thought. Chakra and Youki can merge together but with our energies being the same types it has merged even better than expected." Kurama explained with a grin on his face this conversation just kept getting interesting for him at each passing second.
"So…wait one of my parents must have been a demon then." Rama deduced to himself, but said it out loud.
"That is a probable deduction, but we'll really never know unless someone who either really knew your father or somehow knew your mother. Though that will be highly unlikely. Youkai usually hide from any type of human inhabitants and they never talk about their…differences." Rama just nodded and putting the information in the back of his mind hoping that it would come back at a later time.
"So…what happens now kurama."
"We've talked far too long; we'll start training your youkai tomorrow until then we'll stay in touch." Rama just nodded and said goodbye to the giant fox.
In matter of seconds, Rama found himself waking up. He sprang up from his bed and noticed that it was the morning. How long had he spent talking to Kurama? Surely it was more than 4 hours. Never the less, he twisted his body in his bed and got up.
"You're not particularly human Rama, but somehow Hanyou…." Kurama's voice echoed throughout his mind. He was thinking continuously on what Kurama said in the dream world. How was he not human? He was taken out of his thoughts when he heard a knocking at the door.
"Sochi it's time for breakfast, get up."
"coming!" Rama shouted putting on his clothes and and walking out the door.
Alright chapter done. This chapter brought up a lot of revelations and things that need explaining but they will be explained in due time.
Now Just because my OC has the Kyuubi mode does not mean he will be overpowered. Gradually over time he will be able to control the Kyuubi Youki. As for right now if he used the kyuubi energy it wouldn't look red like Naruto had accessed it. It would be more like the kyuubi form that Naruto took in the end of the Chikara arc except smaller in size.
Rama's Half demon/Half human thing will be discussed at a later date.
Most of Naruto's secrets in the show could be figured out by anyone so Kyuubi and Rama figuring out that the masked man wasn't Madara was just common sense.
I don't know what the next chapter will named but it will be out in another week.
