A/N: Hi! So yeah, got a lot of reviews about people being surprised about a FemJuubi. That was the point :D What a twist! This story might have a harem, small one though, I dunno. I just know he'll be primarily paired with Juubi. After that, I'll think about it. Since this isn't a challenge, I'm not obligated to make it a harem; I can do what I want. We'll see about others…
As a sidenote, I will be using an idea I read in another Naruto-puppet master fic; the name escapes me but the idea is cool: Predacon puppets. Remember those dudes from Transformers G1? The bull, rhino, cougar/panther/jaguar, lion, and hawk? Yeah, the fic I read featured these, even though he didn't make it to them yet and I think he abandoned the fic. Point is, the main idea, I take no credit for. But they will transform and combine into Predaking! In my own special way.

Let's begin.
Naruto sat on his bed, mouths in his hands, face crimson, as he stared at the heavenly beauty before him.
This woman was a goddess in term of beauty and grace. Her hair was a black waterfall from the top of her, reaching the small of her back, a bang hiding her right eye, her left showing the same design as her eye in her bijuu form. Her skin was an oddity, as most of it was grey, except for the black area around the bottom of her face. She smiled softly as Naruto glanced over the rest of her, finding a pair of breasts rivaling the size of various beautiful women in the village half covered by her silver kimono with black trim, her obsidian skin doing nothing to detract from her figure, a black sash around her waist just under her smooth, toned stomach. The skirt of the kimono stopped just above her knees, showing shapely legs giving way to dainty feet. Swaying behind her were ten tails, designed much like the Juubi's, almost looking like they were made of rock.
As he stared, blood slowly leaked from his nose, and he fell back, losing consciousness, eliciting a giggle from the strange woman. "Poor Naruto-kun. First time he's ever seen a woman. Too bad he's eight, or…" She left off; staring at his prone form with a lustful grin, licking her lips but slowly shook her head of those thoughts to get back to more important matters. Deciding her figure would only distract him, she closed her kimono top and sauntered over to his bed, sitting next to him and shaking him awake. When he slowly groaned and sat up, he saw her again, only lacking the view of her wonderful breasts. He stopped that train of thought with a mantra of 'I'm not a pervert! I'm not a pervert! I'm not a pervert!' "Nice to see you awake, Naruto-kun." She said, her tone full of mirth as Naruto realized that moment actually happened and blushed accordingly.
"Who are you?" He asked, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.
She raised a brow in amusement and showed her tails again, the pattern in her eye spinning.
Naruto suddenly pointed at her, realizing it. "Juubi!" He yelled. Thankfully, he had no neighbors so no one really heard him.
She nodded. "How?" He asked, slightly afraid that the being that the Rikudou Sennin feared was free again. "Is the seal broken?" He asked.
She shook her head. "No, Naruto-kun, the seal isn't broken. I just managed to leak out a bit of my yokai and mix it with your blood to create a physical body for myself. But I can return to your mindscape whenever I or you want, so no worries about people seeing me." She explained.
Naruto nodded and suddenly realized the pair of mouths in his hands mindlessly chomping at the air. "Uh… how do I get these to stop?" He asked.
She giggled. "You have to will them to stop. They can't go away, though." Juubi explained.
Naruto nodded and concentrated his chakra to the mouths and they eventually stopped, shutting close. "Finally." He sighed. He turned to the apparently female Juubi and blushed as memories of her almost completely bare chest flooded his mind. Banishing those thoughts to the abyss that was his attention span, Naruto voiced the question buzzing in his head. "So what do we do since… this happened?" He asked, gesturing to the Juubi semi-freed from her host.
She shrugged her shoulders, letting her hidden breasts jiggle tantalizingly, and smiled at him. "I guess I can help you train. And when you get older, I can train you in other things…" She purred hotly, turning to the side, her skirt lifting ever so slightly, showing more delicious skin to Naruto, who only blushed crimson and fought the encroaching darkness. "And I have some more puppet ideas that I need to show you instead of just tell you." She added.
Naruto raised his eyebrow, his curiosity piqued. "Is it the Sanbi? I thought you wanted me to finish one, learn all its technique and use in yokai, then move on to the next tail." Naruto reminded her.
"I did, but these won't be bijuu puppets; these are puppets of a clan of beings called Predacons." She reassured him. "A group of five robot animals that could transform into humanoids or combine into the mightiest warrior, Predaking. I'm going to help you build them." She added.
Naruto was in awe at the sound of these 'Predacons.' Thinking over what she said, he asked a question. "How am I going to have transforming and combining puppets?"
"Remember the mechanisms Karasu has for the joint attack with Kuroari? All the detachable limbs and head? We'll be applying that, but on a wider scale, the puppet 'exploding' from its beast form and re-combining into its humanoid form. The same will be said for making Predaking. We'll start on Divebomb, the hawk." She then spent the next few days with Naruto creating the first component of Predaking, Divebomb.
(One week later)
Naruto stood in his training ground in front of his newest creation, Divebomb, in its hawk mode. A head of blackened wood, yellow eyes on either side as its body clacked with the wooden limbs, large wings fully open to the sky, 'sheathes' for the 'feathers' on its sides, seven long, golden blades popping out to form the wings, as its body was hidden behind a cloak, as it was perched on its lethal talons, just over Naruto's height. Its body was full of dangerous mechanisms, weapons dipped in poison, as was the want of any puppet master, as well as the mechanisms that let it transform.
Speaking of which, Naruto decided to see how that worked. With a flick of his finger controlling the puppet, the puppet 'exploded' into its pieces, hidden limbs coming out from the torso of the bird form, as things moved along channels in their metal tracks, the bird head opening and the beak sliding back along the head, revealing a humanoid face underneath, as the form was finished, and there stood Divebomb, just a bit taller than his hawk form.
"Transformation successful." Naruto said with a smile.
"Very impressive, Naruto-kun. I have an idea on how you can incorporate the puppet into your taijutsu, even when it's sealed." Juubi explained.
"Really?" Naruto asked excitedly. "Tell me tell me tell me tell me!" He was jumping with barely contained energy.
She giggled and sauntered over to him and whispered her plan into his ear. They would be training in his taijutsu, the 'Fox Claw' style, a style Juubi derived from Kyuubi, as it would suit Naruto, who had a definite fox quality to him, both in mind and body. It relied on being faster than your opponent and attacking major weak points to bring them down under their own power.
Creating a stronger-than-normal Kage Bunshin, Naruto settled into the beginning stance, sliding his feet from the center of his body, the right forward, knee straight, muscles tense, ready to spring into action, the left to the back, knee bent, muscles relaxed but ready to fight, head brought low, hands splayed open in claw-like fashions, in front of his chest.
With a silent signal, he sprung forward, Divebomb's wings popping into existence behind him, propelling him forward greatly, giving him momentum for a spin kick to the clones torso, throwing it back. He continued his flight forward, until he appeared behind his 'flying' clone, swiping his hand at its head, Divebomb's clawed hand appearing, mimicking his movements, ricocheting the clone back forward, as Naruto flew under it and did a straight-up donkey kick to the clones chin, Divebomb's leg aiding him, as he flew after it, and appeared above it, his hand open to the sky as an orb of chakra formed, the energy of body and spirit within causing a whirlpool inside, as he thrust it into the clones stomach, rocketing it to the ground. "Rasengan!"
Over the week of his assembly of Divebomb, Juubi took her clone and a large group of his clones to teach him one of the jutsu of his father, Namikaze Minato. He had officially been able to do the Rasengan, though with help from a Kage Bunshin, within six days, but he didn't stop for a seventh day, and could do it by himself now. Naruto learned the technique, though deadly on its own, was incomplete. His father wanted to add an element to the technique, but due to… circumstances he couldn't. Naruto vowed to complete his fathers dream and add all the elements to it.
Naruto smirked down at the puff of smoke that was his defeated clone as he fell down, slowing his descent with Divebomb's wings.
"Excellent, Naruto-kun! Your fighting style will only become more deadly as you complete Predaking! Just imagine; a knee to an enemy's stomach and a rhino head pops out, the horn skewering them, or a bulls appearing, stabbing them with its horns. Or the ferocity of a lion or puma!" Juubi was drooling at the possibilities, until Naruto snapped her out of it. She giggled nervously and attempted to compose herself. "Anyway, how far are you on making the Nibi puppet?" She asked.
"I've made the body but I don't know how to contain the flames of either Blaze Release or Amaterasu to give it its natural look." Naruto explained, unsealing the bland-looking puppet of the two-tailed cat.
"Hmm, perhaps you can do it properly if we train your fuinjutsu and Nibi's yokai." Juubi mused.
"How? I can't train in any yokai without alerting the entire village." Naruto reminded.
"Maybe I can help, gaki." A familiar voice responded behind him.
Turning around, he found the smirking visage of his friend and sparring-buddy, Mitarashi Anko. "The Forest of Death is full of monsters spilling out their own youkai, so you can train there." She explained, taking the idea of throwing an eight-year-old child into a forest full of apparently demonic animals in stride.
Naruto's face drained of color at the idea of just throwing himself into the forest, but before he could decline her, Juubi accepted, sealing his fate. With his head hung in fear, Naruto followed the Chuunin, as his tenant had disappeared into the seal, to Training Ground 44.
As he stood at one of the entrances, he looked to Anko with an almost pleading look. "Do I have to?" He asked. At her nod, anime waterfall tears fell from his eyes as he trudged into the forest, specifically the S-rank section, where the other dozen signatures would merely disguise his yokai. Once he was in the center of said section, Juubi reappeared, her presence scaring away any other demons. "What am I supposed to do now?" Naruto asked.
"Enter your two-tailed state and channel the yokai into your hands." Juubi ordered.
Nodding, Naruto closed his eyes as he called upon the hot feeling of the yokai as it bubbled to the surface. One tail; short ears pointing to the sides on a flat head, a thick single tail swaying behind him, Naruto opened his eyes to the normal eyes of the Shukaku, golden with a four-point star for a pupil, for small circles around it, as black rings formed around his eyes. Calling on more, his thick tail split into two, smaller tails, swaying wildly as the crimson cloak around him seemed to flicker as if it were made of fire now, and the ears lengthen and swept back over his head, and his eyes changed to heterochromatic; the right yellow and the left green. Two tails. He concentrated yokai into his hands and, almost subconsciously, went on his knees and put his palms to the ground, black veins going through the ground as his own hands grew pale, his veins popping into view, as he felt two signatures rumble beneath him. He closed his eyes again and frowned. "Forgive me, Kami, for I have sinned." He whispered and snapped his hands up, the signatures following in an explosion of dirt and dust as he panted, reverting out of his two-tailed state and stood.
As a Nekomata, the Nibi was the progenitor of the summoning clan of the same species, many of its members acting as the Shinigami's pet, aiding him in collecting souls. Associated with the god of death, the demonic feline summoning clan was capable of raising the dead, a technique Naruto could access with it's yokai.
Standing before him were Senju Hashirama and Tobirama, the Shodai and Nidaime Hokage's, completely resurrected. Naruto had committed a personal sin; defiling two spirits who had passed on and summoning them into their mortal coils. They were not sacrifices surrounded in ash to form the visages of the Hokages; they were them. Walking towards them slowly, the second he touched their bodies, they fell, limp and dead, into his arms, as he carried them into his workshop/apartment, intent on adding them to his collection of puppets.
(Two weeks later)
Naruto was done with his task of making the Shodai and Nidaime Hokage's into his puppets. With their power in his hands, none could stand against him. But… he felt… dirty for defiling their spirits to make them his weapons. While a shinobi would use every opportunity to make new weapons, there were just some moral lines one shouldn't cross, and Naruto stepped all over this line. While he would make a puppet out of anyone who interested him, there was something wrong about making the two strongest shinobi in history into puppets.
Asking the Juubi about it, he found his answer: they were family. He was distantly related to the Sannin, Senju Tsunade, and by proxy, the Hokage brothers, so he made puppets out of his granduncles. That left a bad taste in his mouth. But after his little moment of emo-ness, he was ecstatic to find out he was related to three Kages! Determined to make them proud, Naruto began rigorous training in their jutsu, both for his own ninjutsu arsenal, and for their effectiveness as puppets.
Over the course of his training, he was visited by his new friend, Tenten, the pair of children red as tomatoes at the memory of the night Naruto gave her the two Kekkei Genkai. Deciding to take it slow, the two became friends and training partners, Tenten gobsmacked when she met Juubi, saw his kage and bijuu puppets, and all the power he held.
Together, they trained in Steel Release and Magnet Release, using the two in conjunction, creating a slew of new jutsu, including one that magnetized the granules around them, including weapons and a new ability they created from Steel Release, Iron Sand. When Naruto told Tenten that this ability was what made the Sandaime Kazekage so powerful, she had a fangirl moment at the thought of being a powerful kunoichi and a future role model for other kunoichi everywhere, contradicting the sexist idea that kunoichi were naturally weaker than male shinobi.
Naruto chuckled at her enthusiasm and they continued their training, slowly building up Tenten's chakra reserves and stamina once they started on physical training. At around six, Tenten left, kissing Naruto on the cheek, both children crimson as they said their goodbyes, and Naruto sighed contentedly at her retreating figure.
'Naruto-kun, I found a schematic in Sasori's chambers on something I think will interest you.' Juubi chimed in Naruto's head.
Naruto remembered Juubi offered to go back to Sunagakure and look for any secret compartments in Sasori's chambers for anything special while he trained with Tenten. He wondered what she found that was apparently so interesting. Quickly going inside, Naruto sat on his bed, entering his mindscape to appear in front of the Juubi. "What's so interesting you called for me here?" He asked.
Juubi merely wore a shit-eating grin and threw Naruto a rolled-up set of blueprints, which he opened and his jaw immediately hit the floor and his eyes threatened to pop out of their sockets. In the heat of the moment, he tackled Juubi and attacked her lips with his own. "This is wonderful, Juubi-chan! I'll start on it right away!" He said excitedly, disappearing from his mindscape, leaving a stunned and crimson-faced Juubi as she felt her lips after the kiss.
Naruto immediately ran to his desk and set about redrawing the schematics Juubi gave him. Within an hour, he had remade the blueprints to the last detail. "I wonder what I should call it." Naruto mused out loud as he rubbed his chin while making some minor adjustments on the blueprints. Suddenly, a metaphorical light bulb turned on.
"I know! I'll call it a pistol." He said.
End Ch. 3
Yeeeeaaaah! :D Predacon puppets, NarutoxFem. Juubi action and the shinobi world's first pistol! I got the idea from Assassin's Creed; good game, I recommend any of them. Including the upcoming AC 4: Black Flag. :D Anyway, tell me what you think.
Ja ne!
