Chapter 4
Disclaimer: In an alternate universe where I have a garage that I park my koenigsegg ccxr next to my enzo Ferrari, and pagani zonda I own Naruto. But here in this universe I don't so nothing in this story is mine.
From here on
Bold is kyuubi talking, weather from inside Naruto or in his summoned form.
'Bold' in apastrophies or parenthesis is kyuubi thinking to itself
'thaughts' apostrophies symbolize thaughts
"kyuubi? No everyone in the village was taught that the kyuubi was killed 10 years ago by the yondaime hokage."
Well everyone in the village has been lying to you. On that day 10 years ago that blonde basterd had the audacity to seal me inside of a newborn child, you.
"so if that's true then I really am a demon, the villagers are right." Gloom descended on the boy at this knowledge he really was a demon of the village.
No believe it or not. Your village is terrified because of what I did that night years ago, but what they don't know is im not the mindless evil killing machine they saw back then. I was in a dark place at the time and was under the control of a man.
"dark place, Under control, What do you mean?"
That's a story for another day boy, im chose to make myself known to you today because you are finally old enough and ready to utilize knowing im inside you. While I do find it despicable and degrading to be sealed inside of a human im not just a cold heartless monster. I know you didn't have anything to do with my imprisonment, and ive watched from inside of you for years as you were abused for harboring me. And to an extent I want to help you, its my fault you've been hated in my stead the last 10 years.
"and whats in it for you? I doubt you just want to help me for nothing in return."
Very perceptive of you, I want you to take let me walk upon the earth again.
"why so you can burn more villages and kill more people?"
You misunderstand me, like I said earlier im not the destructive monster your village believes and the actions that night were not my own, im not going to talk about it now perhaps another day. And what I mean when I say I want to walk the earth again is I want you to create a summoning contract with me. My essence will stay locked inside that cursed seal inside you. While a shell of myself will be free to be outside of your body with you. You can atleast emphathise with my plea that it sucks just sitting every day for years with nothing to do.
"fair enough, but uhh I don't know how to do summonings"
Well first off I highly doubt you want to summon the most hated figure of the village in a public park, why don't you do somewhere more private and Ill instruct you.
"right that makes sense, ok I know just the spot"
An hour later found Naruto in his secret hidaway that he used for a stash, wich was thankfully quite large considering it was almost the entire basement of an abandoned building.
"so this place will work right? Or are you going to be huge when you get summoned? Cause I don't know anywhere to hide a hundred foot fox."
No I can manage my size just fine, now lets begin. First draw blood as an offering with the hand you will use to summon. Just a pin pricks worth is fine, only a small amount is needed. Then form the hand seals for boar dog bird monkey then ram. Prenounce the title of the jutsu kuchiyose then press the hand you've drawn blood with to the ground. Normally you need a summoning contract signed to be able to perform this, if not you would be reverse summoned to whatever animal summoning most fit you. Wich could be a long and even deadly trial to gain a summoning, but since I reside within you if I infuse my own chakra when you summon I can atleast let you summon my contract.
Biting his thumb Naruto eagerly went through the seals "ok lets give this a shot Kuchiyose no jutsu" at the point of contact from his hand a puff of smoke went making him cough. As it cleared a large 4 foot scroll with the kanji for fox on it was standing in its place.
Very good there may be hope for you yet, now open the contract. Inside you will find a spot to sign, do this by bloodying the fingers on a hand and leaving a handprint. And underneath that sign your name in blood.
"simple enough" Naruto said as he grabbed a kunai from his weapon stash and sliced his hand to draw blood.
Your lucky that my chakra heals you as fast as it does you know, otherwise that would've been extremely stupid.
"so that's where I get the healing from, I just thaught it was something that happened to me, thanks I guess."
Ungratefull punk
"I said thanks didn't i?"
Now listen just because ive been nice to you doesn't mean you get to be a smartass with me, my prison or not im still the demon lord of all foxes and above you. Im doing this because A im actually not an evil demon, they do exist but I prefer to just let things be. And B I sympathise with what has been done to you because of me.
"fine im sorry, and thank you sincerely for the healing."
Better, well work on your manners though
"its not like I had any parents to teach me maners in the first place, from what ive pieced together sounds like you did a pretty good job of that considering the day you attacked was the day I was born, you probably killed my parents that day and left me an orphan.
More than likely, once again I wasn't myself that night
'maybe in a few years when your ready ill tell you about your parents'
Now once you finish signing the contract try the summoning again
"aight lets do something awesome then Kuchiyose no jutsu"
Once again the small room was filled with a puff of smoke, in its place was a small looking fox with nine tails barely any larger than a small dog.
"kind of unimpressive for the self proclaimed lord of all demon foxes don't you think?"
Why you brat, like I said im controlling my form, or do you want a hundred foot fox exploding out of the building getting us both killed
"haha didn't think of it that way" embaressingly scratching the back of his head "your right I apologize kyuu sama."
I have a name you know
"oh really? Ive never herd you called anything other than kyuubi or the nine tailed fox"
Has anyone ever bothered asking?
"yeah people go up to demon lords ever day and be like, yo whats your name"
The small fox actually sweatdropped as it realized that the kid had a very good point actually.
"so whats your name?"
My name is kurama you may refer to me as kurama san or kurama sama.
"well im not one that really follows honorifics so kurama it is, but its nice to know that you have a realy name, itd be kinda sad to only be called a demon without a real name."
All demons have real names brat your kind just seem to go out of there way to not care about finding out what they are
"Wait theres more demons like you?"
Yes theres thousands of us, most stick to our own realm and never come in contact with humans, many though come to your world disguised as humans and you never realize it. They'll live an average full length human life just as a vacation from there own, a demons life can stretch for thousands of years, millions if they are a greater demon like myself. But the most you humans believe in before its discarded as fairy tail is the 9 tailed beasts of the world one of witch I am considered among.
"wow that's amazing I never woulda thaught there was another world of just demons like you, whats it like?"
Surprisingly not to far off from what your used to other than the local cultures of whatever demon animal is around. The demon real is established into 4 countries each country is led by whichever house of demon is strongest at the time, but generally each continents demon races get along so its much more civilized than you would think. Your world is even partially based off of ours in name, we follow the four basic elements wind water earth and fire. Most demons in a country have a general affinity for the name there countrys based off of but not always
Wind country is lead by the demon eagles right now, and composes of many wind based demons like hawks, and weasels but also the demon lions and several other lesser demon races. They are typically a very noble and honor based group of demons.
Water country is lead by the demon sharks, theyre a nasty antisocial group, the real nasty demons are typically part of this group. Primarily the demon snakes and spiders.
Earth country is led by the demon bears, backed heavily by the deer, tortoises, and boars. There typically a passive group left alone and don't side with anybody but if provoked can have a furious wrath.
And the last is the fire country led by the demon foxes specifically yours truly. Atleast it was until 10 years ago now, who knows who leads now. But until my capture we were backed by the lizards, tigers and pandas. We were much like wind country but passive like earth, but did hold a very strong sense of peace and avoided violence.
"wow that's an amazing story, I want to go see the demon realm and all the cool animals."
Maybe someday Naruto, for now lets focus on your world, the demon realm moves slowly a thousand years to a demon is like a single year to a human. So maybe someday you can see it.
For now though I believe you are finally ready to be able to be instructed by me on some of the simpler techniques I have to offer. Ive been around humans for many years and know many things that will be of use to you like nin and taijutsus.
"Awesome are you gonna teach me to shoot giant fireballs? Or how about lightning blasts, ooh ooh I know rockslides of earth, or maybe a water blast like a cannon."
Geesus do you ever calm down brat. Those are all much more advanced than you could possibly manage, but I do have some simpler things we could start off on. And I have one technique I know that may just be perfect for you considering how much you suck with bunshins.
"ooh what is it some awesome attack that everyones going to be amazed at? I really hate that stupid bunshin jutsu."
It's a variation of bunshin known as kage bunshin
"well your useless take my most useless technique and throw another fancy word on it, I thaught we were going to be learning cool stuff that I can do."
CALM DOWN BRAT, and trust me. You suck at regular bunshins, but as far as I can tell the problem with that is you have an unusually high amount of chakra, and that's before you take my chakra adding to yours as well. And bunshins take miniscule amounts of chakra, you just simply cant focus that little of chakra to use it effectively.
Kage bunshin is different, it divides your chakra to create solid clones, it's a relatively simple technique but can be very powerfull. Most shinobi know of shadow clones or have a similer clone method attached to there specific effinity, such as a water ninja using water bunshin.
But most ninja cannot use it to its full potential because it uses a very high amount of chakra. See where im going with this?
"I think so, since most ninja have problems with this technique due to chakra reserves ill have an advantage since you said I have a lot of chakra right?"
Yes theoretically this should be a perfect jutsu for someone like you
Now I want you to give this jutsu a try its very simple in its performance, I want you to focus on a tiny portion of your chakra about the same a regular person would put in a normal bunshin say 1% of your total chakra. Form the hand seal for ram and perform the jutsu.
"right got it ok give me a second" forming the hand seal Naruto jast sat there with deep concentration
What are you waiting for try it out
"I want to get it right so im trying to focus on as little chakra as I can like you said but that's hard for me, so give me a second"
Fine I guess that sounds like an appropriate idea
After several minutes of just sitting in focuse Naruto smirked finally ready to perform the jutsu. "Kage bunshin no jutsu!"
A large puff of smoke filled the whole basement area and as it cleared Naruto looked in amazement and the kyuubi just had an intrigued look on its face.
Naruto about how much chakra were you able to single out and put into this jutsu?
"im not sure I tried very hard to use as little as possible since that sounds like its been my problem, so maybe a only 1% maybe less"
Hmm very intruiging, especially considering this was without my chakras aid,
'this kids full of surprises, I knew he had a lot of chakra, but to be able to create 10 perfect shadow clones with so little of his total chakra, im amazed at his capacity for a mere human. In just pure chakra capacity hes probably on par with a lesser single tailed demon, and hes still so young.'
"wow this is so cool, I didn't know I was this awesome look at all of them, and your telling me there all solid?"
Why don't you tell me yourself, you there go show your original if your real or not
With that one of the clones walked up to Naruto and full on slapped him in the face. Causing the other 9 to bust out laughing as well as the one who slapped him.
"that's it your dead meat" the original Naruto ran at the clone punching it as hard as he could making it puff up in smoke.
"there not that tough it only took about half my hit before it dispelled."
Yes there true strength does not lie in there durability, true they have all your power and techniques at their disposal. But are very fragile, the true power comes into play in two different regards one of wich is the main reason I chose this technique first.
The first is the common useage of these clones. Most people can create only a few to help them in a bind, weather it be in escape from an enemy or to confuse their true intentions in an attack by confusing there opponents with multiple clones.
The other major advantage of this technique is the learning ability.
"great this sounds like a stupid academy jutsu now, way to ruin the fun of it"
Silence, your outbursts are starting to irritate me. Now as I was saying this ability has a tremendous learning ability that 99.9% of humans can not use to its fullest ability. You are the exception to that rule.
"YEAHA I knew I was awesome like that, but what makes me so special when it comes to this abilitie."
Like I said earlier most people cant use many clones, higher class ninja like jounen can typically only make a few dozen at most before they are exhausted. If what I saw earlier is any indication you could probably make a couple hundred and still have enough stamina to utilize the training method without being dead tired. It just doesn't work if you don't have the stamina, wich is too mutch for a normal person. It also doesn't hurt that you have one of the most powerfull chakra beings in the know galaxy sealed inside your stomach. Your welcome by the way
"this sounds almost too good to be true so how do you use this learning method?"
Simple just like this, you clone come here
With that a clone walked over and the small fox jumped on its shoulder and talked quietly into its ear. After a second he fox sat back and then clawed the clone in the face making it dispel.
"Hey im not an idiot, wait how did I know what you said? I couldn't hear a word you spoke"
And that's where this technique comes in. anything a clone experiances so will you, want to read 10 books in a day? Set 10 clones to each a book each and when they dispel they will transfer what they gained. Having trouble with a tricky jutsu? 300 clones over an hour of training is like you spending almost 2 weeks straight of training by yourself.
Realization dawned on the blondes face. "this is incredible, its just like if I just had as many of me as I want, and I learn everything they all do. The possibilities are endless, and that's before I even consider the pranking capabilities of this jutsu hehehe"
Brat I don't mind your occasional screwing with the villagers that treat you bad, but don't abuse real ninjutsu like this. You don't want them angry AND scared at you. If they think your actually dangerous and have gained power in any way and use it against them what do you think will happen.
"yeah when you put it like that, no shadow jutsu pranking, ok maybe 1 clone if im real carefull"
Brats these days.
The next day at the academy Naruto sat in the back ecstatic. Hed plotted that if iruka made him try the bunshin jutsu again he could just trick everyone and use the shadow clone and pass it off as a regular clone. After remembering the fox tell him about how it was a high level jounen jutsu he didn't want people asking questions. plus a ninja should never just show off his abilities, but damn itd be nice to not look like a complete idiot every now and then.
"ok class today were going to be going through the three most basic academy jutsu just for evaluation on your progress"
'perfect I can pull this off and look awesome, I practiced for hours the last few days when I wasn't training with sasuke and can lower my chakra enough to make a single clone now.'
" we will start off outside with kariwama also know as the body replacement technique, then move on to henge or transformation technique and then you will all perform a bunshin."
'atleast I can pull off the other two jutsu perfectly thanks to sasukes help with training'
2 hours later found the class back inside after everybody had properly displayed skills with the first two jutsus.
"ok first up to try bunshin is sasuke, please come down and perform a basic bunshin"
Standing up the blonde walked towerds the front of the class trying to ignore the group of girls as he passed them.
"sasuke I love you"
"sasuke you're the best"
"this will be easy show them that your awesome sasuke"
Hed herd all the compliments before and they all irritated him more than the last reaching the front he just let out a "hmph" throwing up the hand seal a second sasuke puffed up next to him before disappearing again.
"very good, next up Naruto. Please come down and give bunshin a try."
"hahahaha Naruto sucks at bunshin I wonder how bad he will mess up"
"I bet he makes another one of those dead looking clones it was so funny last time he really does suck"
Ignoring the group of girls taunting him he made his way to the front.
'ok I cant let them know this isn't a regular bunshin' whispering quitly to himself hoping no body would hear "kage bunshin no jutsu" and a perfect Naruto puffed up beside him.
"yeah take that all you doubting bitches" yelled out his clone as it turned to the real Naruto and threw up a hand for a high five "Hell yeah" replied the real Naruto giving the clone the high five with a loud *slap* as the hands hit.
"Naruto watch your language that's detention after class cleaning erasers, and I also want to have a word with you after class about that high five"
'shit how could I be so dumb I made physical contact with a solid clone, and now iruka sensai knows. Atleast it looks like most of the class didn't notice it except shikimaru and sasuke, sasuke wont say anything to others but will probably question me, and shikimarus too damn smart for his own good, but is too lazy to care so im in the clear for now.'
Reaching his sat naruto just sa quietly trying to avoid attention for once, looking to his side he could see the broody uchiha just glaring at him with a knowing look that practically screamed questions at him. And from infront he could just hear the words "that was troublesome Naruto, thank kami it wasn't me" from the pineapple head kid, muffled by his head down on the desk.
After class Naruto sat in the back as everyone left until it was just him and iruka sensai.
"Naruto I want to know about the solid clone you made earlier. Solid clones are a chunin level technique and that's when there based off of a personal affinity, yours appeared to be just a solid clone without an elemental affinity that's a jounen level technique."
'shit im dead maybe I can fake dumb'
"wow is it really? I had no idea it was so tough. I just saw someone at a training field do it one day when they thaught no one was around, and I copied what they did and it was easy haha"
'please buy it, pleases buy it, for the love of kami buy it'
"im not mad at you Naruto I honestly care for you, but techniques like that are jounen level for a reason. There not made for academy level students, genin shouldn't know anything about them even until they become chunin at the earliest. Practicing jutsus you simply see someone else perform is incredibly dangerous, not just to you but to those around you as well. If you cant control the power of a jutsu you don't understand you could hurt someone close to you."
"id need someone close to me first" muttered Naruto in a depressing tone
'shit looks like I touched a sensitive subject, I wanted to lecture him on the importance and danger not make him depressed' thaught the caring teacher to himself.
"what about me Naruto?"
"what?"
"what if you copied a dangerous jutsu and accidentily hurt me trying to show it off"
"I don't know what id do sensai, I don't want to hurt anybody at all" the honesty and sorrow in his voice clear to the teacher.
"I know im sorry I had to harp on you and lecture but I needed to get my point across, ive clearly gotten the message across. How about we forget those erasers and get some ramen, my treat what do you say?"
"you shouldn't even ask that sensai ill never turn down free ramen" and the beaming Naruto walked out with his teacher, feeling one step closer to the man, over the years iruka sensai had been hard on him because of all the ways the kid lashed out for attention and was disruptive to class. But hed always seen an understanding look in the sensais eyes. And could tell the man truly cared about him, so to have the man offer him to free ramen ment a whole lot more than just a dinner, it ment it proved that there was atleast one more person that cared for him.
Well theres one more chapter, and considerably longer than my previous ones just breaking 4.1k words
Thanks again to all my readers for following me so far. And now on for the fun stuff
Im going to be starting a poll to let my readers help shape my story. And by classic fan fic tradition Naruto needs to get the lady/ladies
Im not going to get to the part of this story where that comes into play for a while so for the next few weeks drop a review voting for either a single woman you wanna see our blonde knuckle head with, or a list of girls that youd want to be involved in a harem. Polling will be closed as soon as either A a single girl reaches 50 votes, or b enough people have voted for harem and the choice of the girls is clear that won.
Expect my next chapter within a few days, so with lots of love to all peace,
