Harmless Romantic - I think that you are assuming that Kyuubi means 'fox'. The name Kyuubi is not actually a name, more like a title or description as that it means 'nine-tails'. I believe that the word you are meaning to say is kitsune, which means 'fox'.
As much as it may seem that I'm assuming that, I'm not. I'm calling them Kyuubi's for two reasons. Firstly, I think that most people know them better as Kyuubi's, even though most people that write Naruto x FemKyuubi fic call them kitsune's. My second reason is that the name Kitsune will be for the summoning clan, helping to distinguish between the two.
Toby860 - a bad I'm a little upset but how things progress so far you should not have brought sasuke with them it should of been a stickley naruto, kimiko and the other kitsune. they should of left sasuke there. don't hesitate to search up my name and shoot me a message if you need an idea. update soon and good luck with further stories
Don't worry, Sasuke was only temporary for quite a while. He'll leave(As you will soon find out) and they won't meet with him again until later. Even then he won't actually join up with them again.
Okay. So now without further ado, chapter 4
Chapter 4
The Demon of the Mist
Naruto sat up with a yawn. He looked around and saw that Kimiko and Sasuke were still sleeping. He looked around and saw Kuro in a clearing not too far away, slowly going through motions with his Katana in hand. Naruto sat there transfixed. When he moved the katana he did it so smoothly that it almost looked like flowing water.
Naruto stood up and walked over to the clearing that Kuro stood in, waiting for him to finish. Kuro soon stopped, and turned to Naruto.
"So are you here for Kenjutsu training?" Kuro asked.
"Huh?" Naruto asked, startled by the suddenness of the question.
"I'll take that as a yes. Ok, so first things first. You need to learn how to swing the blade. I want you to cut that tree," He said, pointing to one behind him. "One-hundred times from left, right, top and diagonally both ways. After that come back to me and we'll start on training your other skills."
"Wait, other skills? You're going to train me beyond just Kenjutsu?"
"Well, I am here to Help you kill Waru, and that will be kind of hard with only Kenjutsu wont it?"
"Oh, yea, I guess it would be…" Naruto said sheepishly. Naruto walked over to aforementioned tree and began his practice with the Shiko.
Two hours and five hundred sword slashes later had Naruto panting while being watched by both Sasuke and Kimiko.
Noticing that he had finished, Sasuke spoke up. "I'm leaving now."
Naruto looked up at him. "Wait, what?"
"I'm leaving. I won't tell you why, but I will tell you that it had to do with the curse mark I showed you earlier."
As Naruto thought back to the three tomoed mark that he had shown them, Kuro spoke up. "I won't try to stop you from leaving on this path, but be warned. The man who gave you that mark is not good. Even the Kyuubi's have someone trying to find and kill him. If you go to him, there's a chance you might not come back."
"I know, but I'm going to go to him anyways. I need the power that he can offer me. I know that he might not be nearly as strong as you or Kimiko, but you're demons. I can't be on the same level as you are, no matter how long I train. He on the other hand can at least train me in techniques that I can use correctly, to their full potential."
Kuro said nothing to this, but just nodded. Taking the nod as the conformation that it was, Sasuke turned and left into the forest without another word.
"Now then," Kuro said as he turned around. "Let's start you two on chakra control exercises."
"Wait, me?" Kimiko asked surprised.
"But of course. You're going to help kill your father too, aren't you?" Kuro asked. Kimiko just nodded furiously.
One month later, Konoha
"We've been doing these stupid missions for a month! Can't we get something harder, you know, maybe outside the village?" Kiba complained.
Kurenai whacked him on the head. "Show the Hokage some respect Kiba! You'll do what he says, and you'll do it with a smile on your face."
"No, Kurenai, he's right. Your team has shown to work well together, and they have completed the required number of D-ranked missions. I think that they may very well be ready for a C-rank."
"Well… If you think so, Hokage-sama, then I'll take them."
"Good. Tazuna-san, come in here!" The Hokage's yell was followed by a drunken man stumbling into the office.
The man looked around at the four ninja standing in the room. "I pay for a mission and this is what I get? Three brats and…" He turned and finally got a good look at Kurenai. "Well, she ain't so bad." He finished lecherously.
While Shino's bugs where holding Kiba back from beating the man up, Kurenai was repeating the Mantra "As a Konoha Shinobi, you must not harm or kill the client. As a Konoha…"
The Hokage sweatdropped at the scene and thought 'Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all'.
The Great Forest, Destroyed Clearing Number 17
Naruto, Kimiko, and Kuro were all meditating in a clearing filled with craters and sword marks. All three of them had their seal reinforced Katana's sitting by their sides. Kuro and Naruto still, after hours of debate still couldn't figure out where Kimiko got hers. One day she had said that she needed to get something, headed in the opposite direction from the nearest town, which was still an hour away, and came back thirty minutes later with a Katana, leaving both boys dumbfounded.
Back in the present, Kuro opened his eyes and broke the silence. "There's a powerful chakra headed in Konoha's direction. This could be a good opportunity to gain experience for you two."
Kimiko opened her eyes and looked at him. "I can sense it too."
They both looked at Naruto waiting for him to say something. After a while of him being silent Kuro finally spoke. "Naruto-San?"
"Give me a few minutes." Naruto said, making both Kyuubi's sweatdrop. They both stood up without a word and started to walk away. Naruto quickly got up and followed them.
As they were walking, Naruto asked a question. "So, how far away is the chakra?"
Kimiko answered him. "I'm sure you'll find out yourself in a few minutes." Naruto just grumbled and kept walking."
A few days later, by the Land of Waves
After leaving Konoha, fighting off the two demon brothers, and getting some answers out of Tazuna, team 8 was walking through a clearing covered in thick fog.
'This fog is too thick to be natural. It almost seems like the Hidden Mist Technique, but…'Kurenai thought.
Out of nowhere a large sword came flying out of the mist. Kurenai went to bring her students and the client to the ground, but it appeared as if she wasn't fast enough. When the sword was feet away from slicing into the group, a shape jumped in the way and held up a katana.
The large sword slammed into the Shiko and began to push Naruto slowly backwards. Finally Naruto pushed the blade to the side the sword impaled itself in the tree.
All the present people turned around when a voice came from where the blade had struck. "Nice butter knife kid. I'm impressed that you managed to stop the Kubikiribocho like that. That doesn't mean that I'm going to let you live though. Now, hand over the bridge builder and I might let your five go free. If not at least you can say you were killed by the demon of the mist, Zabuza."
For a second Naruto said nothing then finally asked. "Who's the bridge builder?" Causing everyone to faceplant.
"The old fart who's dri-"Zabuza was cut short as he grabbed his blade and pushed away from the tree. A split second after he had jumped Kimiko's Katana passed through the air where he had been.
When he landed Zabuza spoke up again. "You know, it's really not nice to intur-" He was cut short again as Kuro practically fazed behind him. Zabuza Brought up his blade to block Kuro's katana, but his eyes widened in surprise when he went flying backwards from the force of the blow.
As Zabuza got up from the wreckage of a tree, Kuro looked at Kimiko and Naruto and spoke. "I'll leave the rest to you."
"But you barely even did anything!" Naruto complained. Kuro just smirked and disappeared in a vortex of fire. Before Naruto could complain any further, Zabuza flashed through a few hand seals. "Water Clone Jutsu!" Seven water clones spreared around Naruto and Kimiko. Kimiko glanced back to see Kurenai moving her team along with Tazuna into the cover of the forest.
Kimiko turned her attention back the water clones to see three puddles of water and Naruto locked in a Kenjutsu fight with clone. Naruto's and the clones blades met, and the two combatants pushed against each other, each trying to gain an advantage. Kimiko jumped over bath and landed behind the clone. She turned and plunged her blade into the back of the clone, turning it into another puddle. She rolled forward to intercept a clone rushing at Naruto's back while he engaged on to her right. Kimiko ducked under a swing from the clone and bisected him from hip to shoulder while Naruto kicked his clone in the stomach the decapitated it. The last clone was stabbed from behind with a kunai as Kurenai made her reappearance known.
Naruto jumped out of the way as the original Demon of the Mist made an overhead swing at him. Kimiko rushed forward and attempted to stab Zabuza as she went by. He dodged out of the way and swung his Kubikiribocho at her, only for it to be blocked by Naruto. Zabuza smirked underneath his mask and put more force behind his sword. Naruto's arms started to shake and he was pushed backwards.
Zabuza jumped over a slash from Kimiko from behind and disappeared into the mist. Naruto quickly thanked Kimiko and started to look for Zabuza.
"This is the Hidden Mist technique. You can't see me, with or without a Kekki Genkai. Hahahaha! There are eight- WHAT?" Zabuza was, once again, cut off as Naruto shot forward like a rocket right at where Zabuza was hiding. In the time it took for Naruto to reach him, Zabuza noticed that Naruto's eyes were closed, and so where Kimiko's, who was trailing not ten feet behind Naruto. Naruto sliced at Zabuza from the left while Kimiko slashed at him from the right. Zabuza quickly made a water clone and had it block Naruto's slash while he blocked Kimiko's. Both teens, now with their eyes open, pushed against Zabuza's block. Kimiko's eyes widened when she noticed a tiny crack running through the Kubikiribocho right where Kuro's Katana had impacted it.
Kimiko broke away from the Demon of the Mist and landed on another tree. "There's a small crack in his sword where Kuro hit it. Do you think you can use the Shiko to break it?" She whispered when Naruto landed next to her.
Naruto nodded and called out to Zabuza. "Zabuza! How about we end this with one hit? On my mark we jumped at each other and hit once."
Zabuza just chuckled and simply replied "Ok kid, you got yourself a deal…"
"Ok then… Three." Black chakra seeped out of the Shiko.
"Two." The black Chakra started to solidify on the blade of the Katana.
"One."The Chakra was so dense it was as dark a midnight.
"Go!" With that the two swordsmen launched at each other. Their blades collided in the same place as when Kuro and Zabuza clashed. As soon as they made contact, Naruto directed all of the Chakra on the blade to the point of contact. There was a loud crack as Zabuza looked down in his blade in disbelief as the fracture spider webbed across the massive blade. Zabuza quickly broke the clash and jumped back, not noticing Kimiko had moved behind him during the brief blade lock.
"How did you-" Zabuza never got to finished his sentence before two needles impacted his neck and knocked him away from the Katana that would have cut him in two. A man wearing a mask of a hunter ninja quickly grabbed the body, uttered a quiet thank you, and then disappeared in a jet of water. Naruto frowned then turned to Kimiko. She nodded and they both disappeared in swirls of fire.
Down below on the forest floor, Kurenai frowned. She hadn't been able to do almost anything the entire fight. If those two wouldn't have shown up, she, her team, and Tazuna most likely would be dead now. Her frown deepened at the thought as she turned to gather her team.
