Maa, the Chapter that is after Chapter 3
Naruto's kits had quickly learnt eight words. The first word was 'mama' the second was 'ramen' and the other six were their own and each other's names. You would now see 'Sakay' trying to push away 'Sakuwa' while 'Hinana' watched nervously as 'Shika' and 'Kaka' stared at each other. Lee was the only one who managed to get his name right and the others to say it correctly. Also the fact that Shikamaru had been shortened to Shika and Kakashi to Kaka as well as Sasuke to (Naruto sniggered) Sakay led question to why wasn't Hinata and Sakura also shortened.
The six never left him alone and followed him around everywhere. Kurama had stopped laughing sometime past lunchtime on the third day and had been let out. This had lead to another word being learnt by all the kits.
"Fuzzy!" Lee yelled and tackled the strongest of the tailed beasts to the ground. He was then fox piled by the other five. Naruto thought amusedly how well that would work as a technique should they ever go back to the ninja world. The named 'Fuzzy' was struggling to stick his snout out so he could breathe fresh air.
"Kit," Six ears twitched. Kurama growled slightly and decided to change nickname. "I call you Naruto if you call me Kurama." he said with a slight snarl.
Naruto smirked but nodded. "Deal." Naruto's Kits then jumped over to their Mum.
"Ramen!"
"Ramen!"
"Ramen!"
"Ramen!"
"Ramen!"
"R-ramen."
Naruto grinned and thanked his awesome sealing scroll that contained never ending ramen.
oOo
Naruto turned to see Ash training Pikachu outside. "Whatcha doing?" he asked Ash.
Ash grinned. "Me and Pikachu-"
"Pikachu and I." Naruto corrected and his eyes widened at what he'd just done.
Ash snorted. "You're definitely a Mum alright." he muttered before clearing his throat. "Pikachu and I are training." he explained.
"Oh ri~ght. Pokémon can be used for battles ne?" Ash nodded. Naruto grinned. "Okay I wanna try." he said and then cupped his hands. "Kurama!" A loud growl was heard as well as several high pitched yelps and the six Eevees came and jumped into Naruto's awaiting arms.
"Yes Naruto?" Kurama said tiredly. His ears had been pulled and his tails made chew toys and he was really in the mood to snap something.
"We're going to have a battle."
Kurama perked up. "Finally. Me verse you?" he said excitedly.
Naruto shook his head and pointed to Pikachu and Ash. "Gonna battle them." he said.
Kurama instantly let his ears droop. "Aww but this will be too easy."
"You don't know until you try! I'm sure me and Ash will beat you!" Pikachu declared loudly.
"My Pikachu's level twenty! We'll beat you for sure!" Ash yelled.
Naruto cocked his head to the side. "Levels?" he said questionably.
"Yeah! I'll explain after the battle. Go Pikachu!" he cried. Pikachu ran forward and growled cutely. This caused a trigger reaction and the kits growled back at him. Kurama sighed and walked forward. He sat on his haunches and stared at the Pikachu. "Begin!" Ash declared and then named his first move. "Pikachu use quick attack!" Pikachu began to charge at what would seem like a really fast speed but to Naruto and Kurama it was like a jog.
Kurama side stepped and Pikachu banged into the tree behind him. "Thunderbolt!" Pikachu began to charge up its electricity before it let go of the attack. It whizzed over to hit Kurama who caught it with chakra enhanced tails. The lightning that was on his tail morphed slightly until it was black and then Kurama pointed it at Pikachu.
"Demonic lightning." Naruto stated and the lightning flashed across the area and hit Pikachu squarely in the chest. Pikachu fainted instantly.
"Pikachu!" Ash cried and hugged his Pokémon to his chest protectively. "You're really strong." he said to Kurama who shrugged his foxy shoulders.
"Well let's head back to Professor Oak so he can heal Pikachu. What's this level business?" Naruto asked.
oOo
"It's impossible I tell you!" Prof. Oak declared as he looked at the machine. "Impossible!" The machine that checked a Pokémon's stats was coming up with something that was impossible.
The Ninetails that Naruto owned was level 1000. He would've been surprised if Ninetails was level 100 but 1000 was just insane. Ash looked happy though. "So Pikachu is strong! Kurama is just some impossibly strong guy!" Ash said cheerfully.
"You could go through the league with just that one Pokémon!" Oak spluttered. "It defies all logic! Pokémon can only go up to level 100!" Naruto shrugged as if he was unsurprised.
Pikachu spoke to Naruto who answered. "Yeah I train with Kurama. Haven't done much training since I hit my head… hey Kurama you wanna go train?" he asked his Pokémon which nodded.
"You don't need to train him! He's level 1000!" Oak yelled in frustration. This was beyond belief.
"I'm not going to train him. He's going to help me train myself." he emphasised the two words.
Oak frowned. "Why would you need to train yourself?"
Naruto chuckled and shrugged. "I need to stay fit." he said and walked outside with his seven Pokémon following.
oOo
"Mama! Mama! Mama! Mama!" The six Eevees chanted as Naruto stood ready on the opposite side of the field to Kurama. Kurama flexed his tails while Naruto cracked his knuckles.
Oak, Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu were standing next to the six Eevees. "Er… Begin?" Brock declared. He wasn't sure what to do. It would be dangerous for a human to fight a Pokémon. This instantly changed in everyone's minds as they saw what Naruto did next. All of a sudden hundreds of Narutos filled the area. They gaped as they all ran at the Ninetails.
Naruto had learnt how to do Kage Bunshin without seals. In fact, he'd learnt how to do everything without seals. The clones tackled Kurama but as soon as they made contact with him they immediately dissipated. So he'd coated himself in Demonic chakra huh? Two could play at that game.
"Look at Naruto!" Misty whispered as the one Naruto left closed his eyes. When they opened his eyes they gasped, his eyes were slit-ed and bright crimson. Nine fiery tails came out from behind him which swung around him dangerously. Kurama bared his teeth in a smile and the lunged.
oOo
When Ninetails lunged was when the humans lost sight of the battle in front of them. The Pokémon however with their sharp eyes watched in awe as they fought. The air filled with loud booms every time the two made contact.
Finally a fiery attack assaulted the air but it was cancelled out by a water one. "Where'd the water Pokémon come from?" Misty asked. Then she saw Naruto had stopped and was waving his hands with the water following his move. The Ninetails threw its head around as it directed the flames. The flames dispersed and the Ninetails growled before a large ball of black energy came began to form in its opened mouth. Naruto grinned and they watched as an identical ball appeared in Naruto's hand.
The two ran at each other and then when the two balls collided the earth shook. There was a large smoke cloud and everyone coughed and saw when the smoke cleared that Naruto was panting heavily. The Ninetails grinned but his shoulders moved up and down as if he was panting too.
"I give in so we don't destroy the town." Naruto said tiredly and slumped on the grass. His Es came and jumped on him and began licking at the scratches he'd acquired. Misty noticed however that all his wounds were already healed.
"What are you?" Brock asked his eyes as wide as they could go(his ones at least). Naruto chuckled.
"Okay, I'll admit it. I'm not entirely human." he said with a fanged grin. His slit eyes were so animalistic looking that they instantly believed him. "You could say it was an…experiment." he said slowly. "I've been like this since I was a kid. His (He gestured to Kurama who yawned) DNA was crossed with mine and so I gained some de- Pokémon traits. He's a special Pokémon so they decided to use him." He explained.
They nodded their heads slowly. Such things had been done in the past; the only difference was no one ever succeeded and came out alive. "It doesn't come without risk though." Naruto said warningly. "Many people have tried to kill me and when people try to kill me… my Pokémon genes take over." he said slowly and they shuddered. If this was him in control, they did not want to see him wild. Naruto grinned and his tails disappeared, as well as his fangs.
His eyes faded back to normal and he smiled down at his Eevees. "Who wants ramen?" he asked and several 'Eevee!'s were replied. Naruto smiled and scooped them up and walked back to Ash's place.
oOo
"So you've gained your memory back?" Brock asked as Naruto sat down at the table with Kurama at his side. They'd long ago given up on trying to get Kurama to eat with the other Pokémon.
Naruto had translated dryly that if they didn't treat him like any other human he'd blow up the town. He'd also added his own comment and said it wouldn't be the first time. Naruto nodded his head slowly as he inhaled the ramen. Kurama just shook his head and ate his own ramen gracefully.
"Yeah, yeah. I come from a different region than Kanto though now I remember. But I can't remember what it was called." he said with a sad face. He brightened again. "But I do remember the people there!" he said excitedly.
"A diffmmn regionmn?" Ash said through his food and was immediately received a slapped hand from his mother for talking with his mouth full.
Naruto nodded. "Yeah a different region. But anyways, isn't it time that you guys carried on travelling? I'd like to explore with you guys if that's alright."
Ash nodded his head excitedly. "Yeah, yeah and I'll become so strong that one day I'll defeat Kurama!" he said and pointed to Kurama who snorted.
"So how old are you Naruto?" Ash's mother asked.
"Twenty six." he said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"You're older than me!" Brock spluttered. That was unbelievable! He looked so young…
"Something happened when I hit my head and I found myself de-aged." he explained.
"Oh so that's why you yelled out you'd been de-aged. I thought you were just disorientated mentally from hitting your head." Misty exclaimed.
Pikachu commented and Naruto chuckled. "True, true. It seems highly unlikely but it's true. I don't even know how I ended up in this region to tell the truth. Kurama's teleport gone wrong." he grinned wryly.
Kurama snorted into his food and his ear twitched before he continued eating. The Eevees on the floor ran around the table since they'd finished their own ramen as quickly as Naruto.
He sighed. "Kits, sit still please." They blinked at him owlishly before sitting down obediently.
"Did your mother treat you like this?" Ash's mother asked.
Naruto's smile faded. "I never knew my mother." he said softly.
"Well I never knew my Dad! Tell me, what's a Dad like?" Ash exclaimed. Naruto smiled softly.
"I never knew my Dad either. Not personally anyways. He was the… one of the Elites before he died." he said, proud shining in his voice.
"I'm sorry. How'd they die?" Misty asked.
Naruto sighed. "They died on the day of my birth, protecting my hometown when Kurama attacked." He explained. They all looked at Kurama with wide eyes who was staring at the food broodingly. "But Kurama was under someone else's control you see, not his own freewill. So I forgive him." he said with a smile and stroked Kurama's head once which earned him a slight growl.
"He did, after all, keep me company when everyone else hated me." he said with a smile.
"Why would everyone else hate you? You're so cool!" Ash exclaimed.
"It was because of the experiment they hated you wasn't it?" Brock murmured. "They hated you because you had a part of the thing that wrecked their town inside of you."
Naruto nodded his head. "That's exactly what happened. So I was abandoned and treated poorly. But then when I turned twelve, I met three people who changed my life forever." he said with a blinding smile.
"My best friends and my mentor; Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi." The three Eevees named after them perked up at the sound of their names and walked over to Naruto and began to nuzzle into him (It still slightly creeped Naruto out the thought of Kakashi nuzzling into him).
"Hmm..." Brock murmured before everyone carried on eating.
oOo
